Host: Tim Pool
Guests: Joel Webbon, Cody Dennison, Phil Labonte, Raymond G. Stanley Jr.
Overview
This charged episode of Timcast IRL revolves around a firestorm generated by Donald Trump's recent social media statements regarding “sedition” and references to the death penalty for Democrats urging the military to defy his orders. The show examines the details and political fallout, as well as the broader atmosphere of polarization, historical parallels, and the risk of escalating chaos. Other major topics include a viral incident of political misinformation (Jasmine Crockett/Epstein), civil-military relations, crime in urban centers, and the contours of America’s socio-economic future in light of automation and immigration.
Tone is boisterous, irreverent, and combative, veering between dark humor and dire analyses of current events.
1. Trump's “Sedition Punishable By Death” Statement
[09:02 – 15:41]
- Background:
- Trump posted on Truth Social that Democrats urging the military to disobey “illegal” orders are displaying “seditious behavior punishable by death.”
- He also re-shared a post: “Hang them. George Washington would.”
- Political Fallout:
- White House had to walk back the comments (“President doesn’t want to kill Democrats”).
- Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) denounced the remarks as not normal, saying:
“The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. This is not normal. We cannot allow this to feel normal. This... has never happened before in the history of our country.” (Chris Murphy, 11:10)
- Host/Panel Reaction:
- Tim criticizes Murphy’s “historical ignorance,” references the Civil War and Lincoln suspending habeas corpus.
- Phil Labonte says:
“I hope [Chris Murphy] stubs his toe every single day for the rest of his life.” (Phil Labonte, 15:56)
- Cody Dennison calls out “hysterical” politics:
“It’s going to be really hard to get normal citizens to really care about ‘oh the poor politicians, they’re scared now.’ No one cares anymore.” (Cody Dennison, 16:14)
2. The “Tweedledee Tweedledum” Strategy: Democrats and Military Orders
[09:31 – 22:55]
- Panel Critique:
- Tim explains how statements from Democrats juxtapose “defy illegal orders” with labeling Trump actions as illegal—setting the stage for insubordination without explicit direct order (“Tweedledee Tweedledum” tactic).
- Democrat Messaging Clip:
- Several Democratic Congressmembers (veterans and intelligence officers) deliver a video message:
“You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our constitution.” ([19:55] Joint Statement)
- Several Democratic Congressmembers (veterans and intelligence officers) deliver a video message:
- Analysis:
- The group agrees Democrats are creating a climate where military insubordination is subtly encouraged, setting up a “civil strife” scenario.
- Tim references the “3 percenters” concept:
“All that matters is a tiny fraction of the political elites are ready to kill each other. Every war ever has always been the tiniest percentage of people.” (Tim Pool, 18:15)
- Joel Webbon: Skeptical that most military members are paying attention, but sees the danger of polarization.
3. Civil Conflict, Precedents, and Hawks vs. Normies
[24:04 – 38:35]
- Discussion:
- Are we in a dangerous period of “civil strife” or “pre-civil war” dynamics?
- Tim predicts an increase in military/political factionalism, referencing Lincoln suspending habeas corpus.
- Joel Webbon doubts actual mass action:
“If I had 100 bucks, I would put it on that nothing ever happens, bros. They tend to be right most of the time.” (Joel Webbon, 30:45)
- Right vs. Left Action:
- Joel sees vast “action” happening—but mainly coming from the Left, with the Right staying reactionary.
- Tim: “That’s why the right is called reactionary... they reacted only.” (35:03)
- Historical Parallels:
- Repeated references to Spain’s Civil War, Franco, and Revolutionary France.
4. Political Misinformation: Jasmine Crockett & Epstein
[71:24 – 76:33]
- Incident:
- Rep. Jasmine Crockett names GOP rivals as receiving money from "Jeffrey Epstein,” later claiming it was a different (unrelated) Jeffrey Epstein.
- She says:
“I never said it was that Jeffrey Epstein...” (Jasmine Crockett, 72:35)
- Panel Response:
- Tim: “What she said was someone named Jeffrey Epstein, implying Republicans took money from Epstein. When in fact we know Democrats were caught recently having colluded with Epstein...” (72:35)
- Phil: “This is why Jasmine Crockett should get censured.” (73:07)
- Cody: “She knew she wanted the intent to hit. It was just an attack.” (75:22)
- Larger Point:
- This is presented as emblematic of deceit and cynicism in current politics.
5. Crime, Justice, and Urban Breakdown
[62:26 – 70:51]
- News Story:
- A woman is set on fire on a Chicago train; attacker charged with federal terrorism.
- Panel Reaction:
- Cody: “It would be terrifying to ever get on a train in any of these places... is it a breakdown of mental health?” (62:26)
- Tim: “Chicago doesn’t let you have guns... were she in a state that allowed self-defense, she would have shot him and killed him and she would have been fine.” (62:49)
- Broader Discussion:
- “Soft on crime” policies, restorative vs. punitive justice, obstacles to charging criminals due to political correctness.
- Joel:
“It is loving to everyone, it is loving to black people to make black criminals actually go to jail.” (69:16)
6. Immigration, Economics, and UBI/Futurism
[43:51 – 60:12]
- Debate:
- Is Universal Basic Income (UBI) or any form of safety net possible given American culture?
- Tim: “Communism absolutely works... when you have like 10 people... small scale communism is super easy.” (44:24)
- Joel’s Response: Real issue is American moral fiber and lack of social trust; we’re heading towards a “feudal surf” situation:
“I feel like that’s where we’re heading, honestly, is like this feudal surf kind of system... House Musk, House Bezos, House Zuckerberg...” (48:31)
- Phil:
“One of the most important tenants of socialism is always the abolition of property... the fact that socialism takes property away is one of the real driving negatives about it.” (54:29)
- The Automation Future:
- Panel envisions dangers of mass dependency, social decay, and what happens when “people... actually can’t contribute in any meaningful way.” (Joel, 54:06)
- Tim:
“The secret to wealth... proximity to wealth... In the United States, you work at McDonalds, you’re not rich. But Indonesian standards, everybody wants to come here.” (58:48)
7. Social Decay, Urban Exodus, and Immigration Data
[82:32 – 87:03]
- Discussion:
- Traffic in Charlotte, NC eases after large-scale ICE/immigration raids; theorized that absence is due to undocumented families staying home.
- “If you got rid of all the immigrants... what it would do for the housing market. You’re talking about prices coming down 30, 40%.” (Joel Webbin, 85:09)
- Ilhan Omar, Denaturalization, and National Identity:
- Panel argues for denaturalization and deportation of “non-Americans” from Congress and the US generally.
- Joel emphasizes American-first policy and “homogenizing” the country to preserve economic and social stability.
8. The Charlie Kirk Assassination—Security & Conspiracy
[92:51 – 108:21]
- Incident:
- Security failures cited in the assassination of Charlie Kirk; discussion over access to venue roof and role of local police.
- Tim:
“We call the local police department before doing an event and they say you’ll be fine. We still hire private security to secure the area... I'm flabbergasted.” (97:24)
- Rumors/Conspiracies:
- Joel floats social media-originated rumors involving Google search records from Israel and VIN numbers, to which Tim responds skeptically:
“That sounds made up... The ability to collect evidence of Google searches, that’s internal Google data, which would have to be leaked by a whistleblower. I don’t believe that’s real.” (100:18)
- Tim’s philosophy: Intelligence agencies seed absurd fake clues to distract legitimate inquiry, as with Pizzagate.
- Joel floats social media-originated rumors involving Google search records from Israel and VIN numbers, to which Tim responds skeptically:
9. Solutions, Despair, and Systemic Entrenchment
[79:00 – 81:21]
- Cynicism About the GOP and Change:
- GOP perceived as complicit and ineffective (“strongly worded letters”).
- Raymond: “They’re all in it for themselves... hopefully they burn down to the ground too. I don't care.” (79:00)
- America-First As Third Party?
- The panel doubts the viability of third parties.
10. Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

— Phil Labonte on Sen. Chris Murphy (16:04) - “Democrats are playing this game... telling the military to defy the chain of command. It's getting particularly weird.”
— Tim Pool (00:30) - “You could have a universal income, say Christ is Lord... The issue is the moral fiber of your people.”
— Tim Pool (43:59) - “If you closed the borders and got rid of all the immigrants... house prices would come down 30, 40 percent.”
