Ex-FBI Director Comey Under Investigation For THREATENING Trump With "86-47" Post w/ Tim Alberino & Rep. Burlison
Featuring: Tim Alberino, Rep. Burlison
Episode Recap
Timcast IRL episode from May 16, 2025 opened with Tim Pool and co-hosts discussing the trending news involving former FBI Director James Comey, who posted what appeared to be the number 86-47 on social media, sparking controversy and an investigation. The number 86 can mean to kill or eliminate someone, and many Trump supporters interpreted it as a direct threat against the former president. Pool noted that liberal personalities began flooding social media with the same number to normalize it, attempting to frame it as a harmless protest phrase rather than a threat. The hosts also covered the Supreme Court's oral arguments on birthright citizenship and universal injunctions, describing these as potentially the most significant cases in over a century. A Wisconsin judge who helped a criminal alien escape was discussed, with Pool noting she is claiming immunity similar to Trump's legal strategy. The show featured guest Tim Alberino, described as an author, researcher, explorer, and ufologist, as well as Congressman Eric Burlison from Southwest Missouri, who has conducted hearings on alien-related topics. Sponsor reads included BetMGM Casino, Talkspace mental health services, Hillsdale College's free online courses, and Jacked Up Fitness home gym equipment.
