Pro-Trump Podcaster Rages at Guest for Making Multiple ‘Allusions’ to Murdering People
Hard-right podcast host Tim Pool was forced to scold his guest on a recent episode of Timcast IRL because he made “two allusions to killing people.” But the worst part of that, according to Pool, was that every time one of his guests does that, he has to take his podcast down from various platforms — negatively impacting his bottom line.

Pool was talking to fellow right-wing commentator Jesse Kelly, who found himself the subject of Pool’s rant:
Pool: I think it’s only fair that I don’t take the heat for what you said, Jesse, and I’m not trying to be a dick, but I’m getting people attacking my character now for having had to take the show down because you made two allusions to killing people. So I’m not trying to be a dick right now, but like, I’ve got 500 messages of like, “What the fuck are you doing, why are you taking the show down, are you fucking with us? You’re trying to make money.”
Kelly: So I thought YouTube took the show down.
Pool: No, I had to take the show down. I had to take the show down because you made two allusions within, like, the span of a couple minutes to murdering people.
Kelly: Okay.
Pool: After I explicitly stated in the pre-show, “Do not make allusions to violence.” Then went on to explain, we keep having people come here and saying they want people killed, or people should kill people, or they can be killed or things like that.
But to be clear, it’s not that he alluded to killing people that was the problem — it’s the people who emailed Tim Pool about taking the show down:
It’s not a YouTube thing. Rumble would take us down for this. I’ve had the conversations with Rumble about it. And so it’s a question of, for the people who are right now, who are slamming me, claiming that it’s a big news day, and I intentionally took the show down for fake reasons to make money… No matter what platform we’re on, that show would be removed and we would face legal liability. And so the question is, can we have a show? If we persist, that show would be deleted and that would be the end of it.
Pool and his cohort have long hyped a coming second civil war in the U.S. and will even go so far at times to claim it’s already “upon us.”
