Tim Pool and guests dissect Trump's fracturing of the MAGA movement, alleging he alienates figures like Alex Jones and Candace Owens to shield them from future Democratic subpoenas while potentially paving the way for a 2028 ticket with Tulsi Gabbard or JD Vance. They explore a viral theory that Trump is strategically losing the Iran war to force global dependence on North American resources, leveraging a $39 trillion debt as a weapon against China and Japan. The discussion further covers media consolidation threatening independent creators, animal welfare controversies, and geopolitical tensions in Ireland, concluding that these disparate events signal a chaotic realignment of power and identity. [Automatically generated summary]
Donald Trump put out a scathing truth social post calling Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, and Alex Jones losers and nutjobs, saying that they've been fighting him for years.
And oh boy, I mean, MAGA is fractured, I guess.
Now, there's a lot of people that say, no, MAGA is not fractured.
These people are not MAGA.
Guys, you can't call Alex Jones not MAGA or Tucker Carlson, maybe, I guess.
But sure, you can say they've been kicked out.
But that's kind of the point.
Libertarians supported Donald Trump, moderates, and even conservatives supported Trump are breaking away.
From Trump, and Trump is casting them out.
So, this is a pretty weird and wild story, and we'll break all of that commentary down.
Of course, there's another weird story.
Melania came out and gave a public statement saying she was not a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, which is a weird thing to just come out and say, I guess.
But, sure.
Following all of this, on the prediction markets, the Democrats are now favored to sweep both the House and the Senate.
So, I wonder if all of this is related.
And I'm going to give you guys the stupidest conspiracy theory.
I said it's the stupidest conspiracy theory.
Stupid one for fun.
But we'll talk about that as well as, well, we got a couple of stupid conspiracy theories for you, but they're always fun.
And we got a big story out of Ireland.
Do you guys see what's going on in Ireland?
Their people are rioting, they're protesting, and the IDF has been deployed.
No, not that IDF, the Irish Defense Forces.
Still the IDF, and I know it gets clicks.
So we're going to talk about that and a whole lot more.
Before we do, we got a great sponsor for you.

It's because Trump's the bad guy, not the people he's attacking.
Well, here's the post from Truth Social.
It's a doozy of a long one.
Let me read it for you.
I know why Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to have a nuclear weapon.
Because they have one thing in common low IQs.
They're stupid people.
They know it.
Their families know it.
And everyone else knows it, too.
Look at their past.
Look at their record.
They don't have what it takes, and they never did.
They have all been thrown off television, lost their shows, and aren't even invited on TV because nobody cares about them.
They're nut jobs, troublemakers, and will say anything necessary for some free and cheap publicity.
Now they think they can get.
They get some clicks because they have third rate podcasts, but nobody's talking about them, and their views are the opposite of MAGA, who I wouldn't have won the presidential election in a landslide.
MAGA agrees with me and just gave CNN a 100% approval rating of Trump, not handing flailing fools like Tucker Carlson, who couldn't even finish college.
He was a broken man when he got fired from Fox, and he's never been the same.
Perhaps he should see a good psychiatrist, or Megyn Kelly, who nastily asked me about the now famous.
Only Rosie O'Donnell question, or crazy Candace Owens, who accuses the highly respected First Lady of France of being a man when she is not, and will hopefully win lots of money in the ongoing lawsuit.
Actually, to me, the First Lady of France is a far more beautiful woman than Candace.
That one's like, bro, I nearly fell off my chair when I read that one.
It's not even close.
Or bankrupt Alex Jones, who says some of the dumbest things and lost his entire fortune, as he should have, for his horrendous attack on the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims, ridiculously claiming it was a hoax.
These so called pundits are losers, and they always will be.
Now, fake news, CNN, the failing New York Times, and all the other radical left news organizations are hailing them and giving them positive press for the first time in their lives.
They're not MAGA.
They're losers just trying to latch onto MAGA.
As president, I could get them on my side anytime I want to, but when they call, I don't return their calls because I'm too busy on world and country affairs.
And after a few times, they go nasty, just like Marjorie Trader Brown.
MAGA is about winning in strength in not allowing Iran to have nuclear weapons.
MAG is about making America great again.
And these people have no idea how to do that, but I do because the United States is now the hottest country anywhere in the world, President Donald J. Trump.
I just want to highlight real quick this hilarious meme of this like crappy AI Fuentes, Candace Owens and Tucker.
And it's like, beware of false prophets which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
That's why I'm like, I'm not, I mean, okay, you could like nitpick some of the things and like have some criticism say, okay, Alex Jones has been consistent his whole career.
I think that's fair.
These other three definitely have not.
But all this to be said, he's responding to Tim's point.
I mean, they're calling for him to be 25th Amendmented.
So these others are insinuating he's covering for pedophiles and that he's like just completely bought off and corrupted, et cetera, et cetera.
He's going to be harsh in his response.
Of course, he's going to be.
This is how he's always been.
Again, he rolls around in the mud.
And it's like when you bark up the street, you're going to have to go roll around in the mud with him.
Like every time something happens, he says something out of pocket, and everybody's like, but he has to be because everybody's being mean to him.
He's not necessarily accurate, though, at least in the beginning when he's talking about nobody's watching them or they have no influence.
Obviously, if they didn't have any influence, it wouldn't even be worth addressing, but it is because the people he's talking about, I would agree that a lot of them have changed their views, but they do have influence.
I mean, one of the big reasons that Candace Owens has been such a.
No, but I was like, we're going to open the show by talking about the Chimp Civil War and then saying something like, no, I'm not talking about Donald Trump.
unidentified
You can still do it for the next segment.
You can just, everyone pause and then you start writing.
So that, I got to be honest, my conspiracy theory on this one, I always love this fake conspiracy theory that I bring up for everybody who does something like this.
Like I was saying last week that Hassan Piker is actually a super based capitalist, but he knows that there's got to be a Pied Piper that leads the commies to their own destruction because he comes off as so stupid.
You know what I mean?
So the reality is, Hassan's actually incredibly smart.
He's a big Rothbard fan.
And, but, right.
But he goes on his show and he goes, like, the communism is good.
And then everyone follows him.
And he's, you know, every day he turns the stream off, a single tear comes down.
And then he rubs his Rothbard knowing that, like, he's doing what must be done to stop the communists by leading them astray.
So my joke is that Trump is actually casting these people out to save them.
Because after the Democrats sweep the Senate and the House, they're going to start firing off subpoenas and they're going to go after anybody who supports Trump.
So if Tucker stayed.
In Trump camp, after the midterms, they're going to launch false investigations.
And this part's the true part.
I genuinely believe the Trump supporting personalities are going to get jammed up like crazy.
Censorship, false investigations.
I mean, look at what Merrick Garland did to me, Benny, Dave, accusing us of taking Russian money.
Completely fabricated story.
And no evidence, never released.
And the people who they claimed did don't exist.
Nobody knows where they are.
My joking conspiracy is that Trump is actually talking with Carlson because Tucker just went to the White House and he says, Look, we're going to lose the midterms.
We can't do anything about it.
I'm going to come at you guys that way.
Afterwards, you can just say, You know, we're not with Trump and they'll leave you alone.
Well, President Trump came out on Truth Social and attacked myself and all the original Mato supporters today.
And I'm just so sad that whatever's happened to him has totally changed the man he once was.
He did so much good.
That said, it followed just a few hours after Melania Trump came out unannounced.
Poorly, Trump didn't know and said she wasn't involved with Epstein and she supports a full investigation by Congress of the Epstein cover up.
Trump says Epstein's a hoax.
So, this reminds me of Melinda Gates, Melinda French, when she started turning against Bill, also over Epstein.
So, Trump's got big problems, folks.
And I am just so concerned about this country and the world.
Trump is being led around by the nose by Netanyahu and by Mark Levin and others.
And it's so sad.
The Iran war is a total disaster.
A black eye for America.
They control the Strait of Hormuz.
It is just absolutely incredible.
What we're seeing and what we're facing.
I supported the old Trump that got so many good things done.
But at the end of the day, I just feel sorry for him and pray that God touched his heart and soul and free him from the demonic influences that he's under.
I was just like, I mean, I think even in the first term, he reoriented the GOP on policy in a lot of ways where.
Like, you have to play ball with some of these institutional figures sometimes in the sense of like they still have a lot of power accumulated.
They still occupy top positions.
And I think Trump has moved the football down the field in a lot of ways, just rhetorically.
Like, I know we're saying rhetorically, optically, these things don't matter, but they do matter because you are seeing sort of positions that are now acceptable within the GOP that were previously would like get you cast out of the movement entirely.
I mean, the fact that, you know, net negative migration is now the policy of the United States, of the State Department, is like.
A game changer because, like, literally, even you go back to like Trump one, or even during Biden, just advocating for that would get you like called like a white supremacist.
To be flat out honest with you, like, when Trump first came down the elevator and was like, you know, we've got this massive problem with illegals coming in and immigration stuff, I wasn't even cognizant of a problem with immigration, right?
And I was, I was, even back then, I was fairly politically aware, but I was like, really, is that a big problem in the US?
Like, I didn't, you know, it's 2015 or whatever, and I didn't think that it was.
And obviously, that was 10 years ago, and things have changed significantly since, but like.
At the same time, it's like he really did move the Overton window to the point where these were things that we could talk about.
And now, like, I've got one of the more extreme positions on immigration, at least of anyone around the table.
I mean, to Phil's point, I mean, the entire ecosystem as it exists now exists because of Trump.
The only reason that, maybe not Alex Jones, because again, he's been pretty consistent and he kind of predates Trump in a lot of ways.
But I mean, Tucker, Candace, obviously, even Megan Kelly to a large part owe their careers not to Trump directly, but to the sort of ecosystem that Trump created.
And so, again, this isn't saying that that's why they should have loyalty to Trump.
I'm not suggesting that.
I'm just saying like everything, this entire timeline that we're in is because of one man.
The rumors were that there's Beltway rumors that you are going to see the likes of, let me put it like this.
I think this is very, very, very unlikely.
It's just very strange that some leftist publications have been positively writing about Tucker Carlson, saying that he's changed, pointing out that he used to be a big Democrat.
He was on MSNBC, almost like they want Tucker to be a Democrat.
The rumors are that Tulsi Gabbard will be either an independent or Democrat.
Now, my understanding is that sources, we do journalism here, folks.
We do.
I've reached out to people involved.
Heard these rumors that Tulsi was going to drop out.
She was going to align herself, she was going to resign.
She was going to align herself with Joe Kent.
They were going to be the alternative to the Trump camp, saying that, you know, moderate liberal types, we can unite this country.
And the rumor is that she'd either run as a spoiler against, as an independent spoiler for the Dems, or I'm sorry, against the Dems, basically a spoiler candidate for Democrats, or that she may actually even try to go back to being a Democrat.
But I reached out to several people in the inner circles.
And they say absolutely false, not true, not going to happen.
Trump is a fan of Tulsi.
Tulsi has served honorably.
But Laura Loomer says otherwise.
And Loomer's sources have been pretty good.
She says that Tulsi is going to be out and it may happen.
She's going to run.
I do too.
Tulsi is a moderate.
She's kind of liberal in a lot of ways.
She's moved rightward in a lot of things.
She has always been critical of Iran nuclear weapons and Islamic extremism.
But right now, she is in that MAGA camp.
And as this fracture happens, what's interesting about this?
Is the conspiracy that I told you guys about two weeks ago, which is when Joe Kent left.
Rumors started circulating that he is not enemies with Trump.
He's actually a friend of Trump.
Trump saved him.
This is a coordinated campaign.
Joe Kent leaving and criticizing the war is intentional.
The rumor then is that Tulsi Gabbard will similarly drop out at some point, resign, team up with Kent, and then there will be a realignment where the MAGA base fractures into a new left and right paradigm, where the Democrats are the RFK Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, Joe Kent, anti interventionists, and the Rubio, JD Vance are the new Republicans.
And that means the corporate Democrat and woke Democrat infrastructure is no longer a component in the national conversation.
These were the rumors that I was hearing in the Beltway and pointing out that people are probably upset with me for having said this because.
I'm not supposed to be coming out being like, hey, you know, behind the scenes, they're kind of saying that this is a plan.
Surprise, surprise, Trump then formally denounces these personalities, creating an opportunity for this large vocal faction to now support, say, a Tulsi Gabbard.
And that will pull, guess what?
Guess who Candace has the ear of?
Suburban women, moderate suburban women love Candace Owens.
What is she harping on about?
TPUSA is bad, Israel is bad, and now she's anti Trump.
She's calling for Trump to be impeached.
She is going to capture a ton of female voters, which all vote Democrat.
So when Tulsi Gabbard pops up and Tucker, Megan, Candace, and maybe Alex, I don't know if Alex fits in here, but when they start saying Tulsi's the real deal, she's always stood true for what she believed in, you have the makings of the perfect opportunity for creating a new left right paradigm of the MAGA system breaks into two pieces corporate shill Democrats, crony Democrats like the Hillary Clintons, and the We Wrote Garbage is an afterthought.
And you now have, you know, I was always a big fan of Trump, but he's gone too far with this war.
I'm going to vote for Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr.
Keeping their influence in mainstream politics a new machine state, effectively, a new deep state.
I'm saying, but then if Vance doesn't break with them, then that could be a problem in the sense of because now how do they possibly survive a Democrat primary?
That's why the rumor was either an independent to spoil the Democrats or actually as a Democrat.
I do think Tulsi trying to go back to the Democratic Party might be a long shot, but it might not actually be if Bernie Sanders comes out and says Tulsi has always served with honor and distinction.
And what happens if Tulsi gets cast out next and fired by Trump?
And she comes out and said, I did everything I could to restrain him, blah, blah, blah.
The first thing she did when she won her primary, she turned on the pro Palestine activists.
Not like she's been pro Israel or anything.
But they immediately went after her because she was like, oh, you know what?
I don't know enough about the issue.
I'm not going to talk about it.
She's going to say whatever she needs to say to actually win.
I'm not saying that all of the Democrats are going to be removed from politics.
I am saying the Trump campaign and the people that we know have a plan with the goal of replacing the Democrat deep state machine with something more acceptable that restores.
Let's just say decorum to the political debate.
It doesn't mean they'll be successful.
So, pointing out that maybe they could not be insurgent candidates in the Democratic Party, sure, doesn't mean they're not trying to do it.
And again, I don't know that they actually are.
It could be as simple as Trump really does not like these people.
And Tucker, who was friends with Trump and he's come on the phone, just all of a sudden said, you know, I don't like him.
I do agree that even if it's not happening as intentionally as like your theory.
With Tulsi and all that, she is one of the few people that I think, if she plays her cards right, could come out of the Trump era and actually rise rather than fall with it.
Because it seems like it's all being burnt down for JD Vance.
So, Even if Trump loses half of his base, that's still plenty of wiggle room to get out of a primary to get someone through a primary.
You know, I think all this really depends on is if Trump changes his mind in 20.
I don't think Trump's going to endorse anyone, quite frankly.
I think he's going to let them debate who's the most Trump like.
That's why there could create room for potentially like a Steve Bannon to run because, you know, all of them can petition why they are the true heirs to MAGA.
And then I think someone like Bannon would couch that in terms of like, well, I don't think Trump actually did it correctly.
So I'm just saying that if Trump doesn't weigh in, then a lot of these guys will smell blood in the water and jump in.
And I think that's actually a possibility that Trump just doesn't endorse anybody.
And then again, I think what's really happening right now, and you're already kind of seeing it within the White House right now, is I think you are seeing people, same thing happened with DeSantis, are whispering in Rubio's ear right now, like, hey, dude, 28 could be yours if you play your cards right.
I do think we could be heading for a Vance Rubio showdown.
I think you're probably right about Vance and Rubio.
I think that Rubio, particularly because of his, you know, being the Secretary of State and also his history in the Senate, I think there's a lot of people that are mainstream DC that are like, oh, he could bring normality back.
Now, whether or not he would, I don't know because the way that he's, you know, taking his job role as Secretary of State, he's very pro most of Trump's policies, his foreign policy, Rubio.
Doesn't seem to balk at it all.
Now, granted, he could be just doing the job that his boss is saying to do.
But also, if the stuff that Trump is doing does work out in the long run over the next two years for the American people, I don't see why Rubio would turn around and say, I want a different vision of foreign policy.
Because, go ahead.
No, just finish.
I don't see Rubio coming in and saying, well, I have a different vision of foreign policy.
This stuff that's been working that has put America into a position where it's a global leader.
Uh, the way that people want it to be, you know, I don't see a change.
I want to highlight this from Kalshi Tulsi gabbered out as director of national intelligence currently before June at 39, before July 1st at 45, before August at 59.
The before August has spiked.
Now, I don't know if this means someone knows something, it could be as simple as this guys, there are rumors.
Well, Vance doesn't think that it's very early to talk about whether or not the Iran war, or whatever you want to call it, is going to be a positive or a negative for whoever's coming next because it's still only four, you know, five weeks or whatever.
We haven't finished the whatever's going on there isn't actually done.
You know, there's still two weeks, there's supposed to be a two week ceasefire, but I've heard there's still a lot of military equipment moving into the area.
So this isn't over until you actually see U.S. troops leaving and you see the assets leaving the area.
So I will say this, and it pains me to say this because I want to fight for, look, Donald Trump says ceasefire.
Reports are that he was begging Iran for a ceasefire.
It's been very bad for him.
Seriously, there's a bunch of stories about it.
However, I've heard rumors that this is actually just the manipulation.
Trump announces the ceasefire because he's not entering negotiations in good faith.
The rumors that I'm hearing, and again, this is just scuttlebutt.
This is not from any prominent individuals, but with all the reports of more bombers, refueling tankers, troops being deployed.
The general idea is Trump's telling them he wants to negotiate while he amasses troops in the region, catching them off guard, alleviating some of the stress on the straight, and then moving in.
Well, I guess to Phil's point he made, I think that's why JD Vance is in the toughest position of all because he's going into 28 trying to have this coalition together.
He's close with Tucker, previously close with Tucker, but it's probably changed a little bit.
But at least, like, Tucker's still going to be a Titan going into 28.
He's the only guy out of that list that I think is going to maintain his prominence going into 28.
So, JD has to play ball with him, but he's also going to play ball with MAGA.
And the MAGA is going to be the kingmaker going into 28.
I mean, down the road, we'll see.
And there's other factions you've got to keep happy.
So, I mean, I think that's why JD Vance isn't specifically the toughest sort of position.
I think in regards to Iran, I mean, that puts Trump really in a tough position because, look, you also have to keep the Israelis happy.
They weren't happy after the ceasefire.
We saw all the talks on social media.
They're all crashing out.
They keep bombing Lebanon.
Iran's not going to agree to any deal while their proxies are getting hammered over there.
It's just not going to happen.
So, the only way we can actually get this across the finish line.
As if Israel just plays ball.
Tim makes this point all the time.
Israel's approval in the United States is tanking.
I mean, there was a poll that came out the other day that among evangelicals under 35, Israel's like 40% support.
So Israel understands, like, hey, it's now or never.
We got to take out Iran now or it's never going to happen.
So there's no way they're going to let this slip by.
And so that puts Trump in a really, really tough spot.
I want to play this video that's been going viral.
This is a, I don't know if it's an AI video or not, but it's based off of a Chinese, a CCP professor, people are calling him.
I don't know if that's accurate, but a Chinese professor.
Who refers to this as game theory, you know, game theory number 18.
Speculation as to what Trump's plan really is, and I find it interesting, so let's listen.
unidentified
Okay, so what if Trump is not an idiot?
What if losing the war in Iran is exactly the plan?
Let me show you something the media will never tell you.
So, everyone is saying Trump is destroying America.
He is fighting an unwinnable war in Iran.
He is threatening to invade with ground troops.
He is pissing off NATO by threatening Greenland.
He is picking fights with Canada, Mexico, Denmark, Colombia.
JP Morgan says the world will run out of oil by mid April.
The global economy is about to collapse.
Trump looks like the worst president in history.
I'm a complete buffoon, right?
But what if that's the whole point?
What if Trump wants to lose the war in Iran?
What if he wants the American empire to collapse?
What if he wants to destroy the global economy?
Then he would be a genius.
Let me explain.
Right now, the world gets 20% of its oil from the Middle East.
Japan gets around 75% from the Middle East.
India gets around 60%.
China gets around 50%.
Europe is also heavily dependent.
But here's the thing oil is not rare.
Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves.
Canada has massive reserves.
The United States has massive reserves.
Trump just took over Venezuela in January.
He's threatening to take over Canada.
You see where this is going.
If Trump closes the Strait of Hormuz by fighting Iran, the Middle East oil stops flowing.
But North America is still pumping.
Suddenly, Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, they all would need American oil.
And not just oil, fertilizer too.
The nitrogen for food production also comes from the Middle East.
If that's cut off, where do they turn?
There are only two options North America and Russia.
Trump is making the entire world dependent on the resources he controls.
Now, here is the genius part who owns the most US debt?
Who's financing America's $39 trillion?
It's Japan, China, Taiwan, South Korea, UK, France, Belgium, and Luxembourg.
The same countries that need Middle East oil.
There's been this fear that these countries would stop buying US Treasury bonds, that they would move to gold or Swiss francs, that America's Ponzi scheme would collapse.
But now they need American energy, they need American resources, they can't abandon the dollar.
They are trapped.
Trump just turned America's biggest weakness, its debt, into its greatest weapon.
By starting an unwinnable war in Iran, he's forcing the entire world to depend on North America.
This isn't new.
Putin already proved that this strategy works in Ukraine.
Russia has been fighting for five years.
It's a slow grind, but it has restructured Russia's entire economy around war production, drones, ammunitions, and military manufacturing.
Russia went from importing Iranian drones to making their own and now exporting them to Iran.
Putin's plan was that the world is collapsing anyway, so why not build a fortress, make Russia self sufficient, control the resources, and weather the storm?
America saw this and said, We can do the same.
Greenland for rare earth minerals.
Canada for oil and resources, Venezuela for oil reserves, Mexico for manufacturing, Panama Canal for trade control.
So maybe Trump is not being reckless, he is actually building a self sufficient North American fortress while the rest of the world burns.
So, yes, Trump looks like an idiot.
Yes, he's losing the war in Iran.
Yes, he's destroying the global economy.
But if the goal was to end the American empire and rebuild it for Americans, to make the world dependent on US resources while everyone else collapses, then Trump might go down as the greatest American president in history.
Maybe the New World Order is dead, and maybe we are heading towards a Trump world order.
Well, what I will say to all of that is the one thing is true because we have discussed it.
It was like the Strait of Hormuz was not closed before the war started.
It is closed now.
That doesn't hurt the United States as directly as it does China, Japan, and some of the neighboring countries.
The United States produces its own oil.
We've got fracking and natural gas.
One of the things that Trump heavily focused on when he took over from Biden, because Biden was trying to shut it down.
I don't know that I believe that full theory, but I will say it makes a lot more sense than Trump started a war because Israel made him do it and now he's floundering.
I don't believe that people are willing to move massive assets without thinking it through.
It could be Israel made us go to war and we lost.
That certainly is possible.
However, shutting the Strait of Hormuz by forcing Iran to fight doesn't screw us over as much as it screws over our adversaries, including Iran, including China.
And the funny thing is, he took Venezuela before going into Iran.
And everybody believes this because he wants to control their oil, knowing once the Strait of Hormuz is closed, we will need access to a large crude oil supply.
I hear these liberals say that Donald Trump is a moron.
He's an idiot.
He bankrupted five companies or whatever.
And I'm like, the guy's not stupid.
That's cope.
When they're like, Trump's a moron and Elon Musk is a moron, I'm like, bro, you guys are coping hard.
Now, I will say this entirely possible.
Trump's a bumbling buffoon.
Israel tricked Trump with bad intel.
We went to a war we can't win.
Israel is simultaneously losing the war alongside of us, I guess.
So they got us into a war with themselves that they can't win either.
That's all possible.
I just, when I look at the machinations of global elites, I don't think that they're just, they're not first order thinkers.
Like, when you play a game of chess, you're not just thinking about the move you're going to make.
You know what?
I'm a chess player, but I'm nowhere near as good as anybody.
I'll speak in terms of poker.
And this is something that shocks most poker players.
When I look down at my cards, I am not thinking about what I am doing right now.
I'm thinking about the position that the people are in.
If I do this, what will the next move be by the people around me?
After that, depending on what the next card is, the range of cards that will come out, What will the next move I make be?
So, to put it simply, as something as simple as a game of cards, I have 10 plans, 10 contingencies in my mind before I make a single move on the board.
The idea that Trump, Israel, the Five Eyes Spy Club, whoever else, did not at least plan five steps in advance is cope.
So, the people who are like, oh, he got tricked and Israel made him do it.
Well, Israel did pressure us.
Rubio said that, but I do not believe for a second that.
Knowing that they went in and got Maduro out in 45 minutes, that this was all just random chance.
I guess I would just be more willing to be like, he knows exactly what he's doing and he's thinking in second and third order if there weren't other political miscalculations he's made as of late that have been pretty disastrous for him, like the Epstein stuff.
Like there was no way that was, like that was just him completely messing up.
Yeah, because I mean, it is true that you need the online right to punch above its weight as far as influence in the White House, influence in GOP politics, obviously.
But I don't think the Epstein stuff really moved the needle that much as far as Trump's outcomes.
Iran does, because Iran, I don't think there's.
And you know me, I'm one of the biggest Trump shows working.
In the business today, I would say.
But the Iran war is just a miscalculation.
I think that the Israelis and the Americans both literally thought there's protests happening right now.
They're going to overthrow the regime if we jump in now.
So let's just create a vacuum and then it'll naturally happen.
Let me go back to the poker analogy and just put it like this.
If I look down at two cards, I think about where I am on the table.
So, who's going to come after me?
If I put in some chips, what are the likely responses?
It's not a single plan.
I have, again, 10 contingencies.
If I do this and he does that, I do this.
If I do this but he does something else, I'll do that instead.
And that's what I think is going on.
There is a plan here in place.
They know what they're doing, and you're watching one step at a time.
I don't know what that plan is.
I'm not saying that this game theory number 18 is true and correct.
I will say, however, When you take a look at the seizure of Venezuela, taking back our oil assets, followed by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, that is a nuclear bomb going off for the Chinese.
They rely on that energy.
We don't.
So it's not bad for us.
Trump can.
If you want to make the argument, it's on purpose.
It may not be that Trump wants to lose, but that he knows the economic damage to China because of the closure of the Strait may be bad for a lot of us, but it's worse for them than anybody else.
So you can take a look at it like you may get knocked down 10 points.
I may get knocked down five points, but you'll be knocked down 10.
So he's doing that knowing that not just his base, but Americans in general will have a hard time wanting this to happen because it is affecting them at the gas pumps right now, even if it's affecting China more.
The idea is that the situation in China is worse than the United States, and the cost for the Chinese Communist Party is going to be tenfold what it is for the U.S.
I am not going to say that Donald Trump is the smartest man alive, but he's certainly smart enough to be more powerful and wealthier than most people on the planet.
So when these liberals come out and they say, Trump is dumb, he's an idiot, I'm like, okay.
So, I mean, I think if we see that, if that deal actually like happens, then yes, this is a successful pincer movement on China because their second biggest import is the Saudis.
Again, the Strait of Hormuz closing, it does hurt the global economy, but it does benefit us in the sense because now South Korea is importing American oil in massive numbers toward the Japanese.
It's just, yeah, the question is: is China going to continue to get Russian oil basically on sale?
I mean, because they have pipelines, they have pipelines connecting.
No, I think that if you bail on NATO, you could still do a deal with Eastern Europe, like Poland and stuff, because those are the ones that are doing, excuse me, those are the countries that are doing their job in NATO.
I think the scarier thing recently that happened, this is a clickbait sort of thing, obviously, is that they raised the enlistment age so high to like 42.
So my point is the people who are like, they're going to draft everybody, it's happening.
Calm down.
The people who are saying, oh, it's no big deal.
They're just automating what already happens.
It's a little bit more than that.
These are grains of sand in a bigger picture.
The enlistment age going to 42 is not an accident.
Automated draft stuff, also not an accident.
It doesn't mean that they're going to draft anybody or need to have massive recruitment because a big war is coming, but it certainly means they are looking at these things and saying, Are we prepared for something?
The idea is that it basically creates a national database.
So it's federalizing the country, which, interestingly enough, as well, I wonder if the anarcho tyranny that we see is intended.
To federalize the police force.
We've talked about this in the past several years, where you see these Democrat jurisdictions release criminals and you wonder why they're doing it.
Well, once everybody starts complaining that local police won't do their job, they will beg the federal government to create a federal police force to come and stop all the crime.
And then you have the United States as a single block with one government.
I would agree with that, except for the fact that when you look at these city hall meetings, there are videos where people come in and they say, Hey, all of you elected officials, why are you doing a bad thing?
You should stop.
And everyone goes, Here, here.
And then all the city council people go, No, we're going to do it anyway.
And then you're like, Huh?
Like, how were local officials just saying no to literally the town that they're in?
It doesn't make sense.
Everyone is saying stop, and they say no.
We see this across the board with every agenda from the machine.
And then, in one video, when the people came to the town hall and said, We hereby rescind your positions, you are now a delegate of duty, and we're taking over, they went, Nope.
And the cops were like, We're with them.
So if the people who live in the city can't even remove elected officials, there is this de facto authority that exists for these people somehow.
Funny, that's a Sage Francis lyric from like, 20 years ago, but like, so the idea is like, even if they were to go to election again, not, not, we're removing you from office now, but that it's just, it screams the impotence of the local voters, right?
Like, yeah, you can have some people come in right now and say that we're going to remove you from office, and the cops say we're not going to listen to you, but they could go to the voting booth and do it, and they never do.
Like, the suggestion being if the voters keep going to city hall meetings saying stop doing these things and they keep doing it and somehow keep getting elected.
I mean, or just the most fervent of the people that go to the town hall meetings don't represent the, I guess, the uneducated voters who show up on voting lists.
But then I would go to the Save Act and say, despite being wanted by 80% of people, they won't vote for it, which again, I call into question our elections when you are able to win by procedure and not popularity.
It was like that post we were talking about yesterday where everything feels like theater now.
And part of that's tied to the fact that you're looking through all of this digitally and it's just, it's so depressing.
Like the Iran stuff is the most depressing because you now have to look at it.
Every day in detail, and it's us who are the most termly online or looking at it that way.
There's a guy when we drive down the road, like if you drive down the road back towards the castle, who's got the big Trump poster that says peace through strength.
And someone just shot up a politician's house in Indianapolis because despite the fact the people keep saying stop, the politicians keep saying no to what the people are demanding.
And that's freaky and does not make sense.
It doesn't make sense that we have seen over the past six years, Loudoun County, the parents show up and say, stop putting boys in the girls' bathroom.
And they go, no.
And they're like, what?
And then you get the data center stuff.
You get the crime.
You get people showing up to City Hall being like, somebody was murdered because you released, like, our DAs are releasing.
It's easy to see which issues are tied to a larger, more nefarious agenda that isn't even in the hands of the politicians, whether they're elected or not.
You know what I mean?
It's like you can see what is actually changeable through voting and what isn't.
And that's what's so depressing.
So things like letting out criminals who have raped or murdered people.
Well, there's a video that I saw today of Palmer Lucky talking about how he thinks these UFOs are actually from the past, either because they created some kind of warp bubble where time speeds past you or some kind of breakaway civilization or something.
I don't know if he said breakaway civilization, but his point is there's hundreds of millions of years behind us and it's easier to travel to the future, so that would make more sense.
The conspiracy theory is that there is a breakaway civilization.
Okay, let me start from the beginning because I love this stuff.
So there's a pole shift happening right now.
The North Pole has shifted from Canada towards Siberia.
It's called an excursion, but now it seems to be permanent.
Ben Davidson talks about how the poles are going to shift.
There's going to be a period where, for like two weeks, solar radiation blasts us as the magnetosphere weakens during the pole shift.
And then the axis of the Earth will tilt.
And when it does, water will slosh over everything, creating a great flood.
So the breakaway civilization theory is that Atlantis, a great city with advanced technology from thousands of years ago, Gets swept over by this great flood, but prepared for it survives.
And now there are advanced, super intelligent, technologically advanced humans secretly controlling all government affairs.
What else do you think you might do if you were thinking that there was going to be a cataclysm where, in your lifetime, so with these theories, after a cataclysm, in your lifetime, you will reemerge to the surface?
Well, what I would do is I would shift my economy into the production of alternative energy sources, which can be produced in most anywhere.
So, it would be great if in your underground bunker you had wind turbine materials.
For quick construction.
That way, you could erect wind turbines anywhere, which could then link up to oil infrastructure and kick back up your oil production.
Once you have oil, you can then start running machinery that can start expanding, building, and rapidly take things back over.
That's strange.
It's exactly what they've been doing for the past 20 years telling everybody we have to shift our economy into solar and natural or green energy, despite the fact the climate change narrative seems to not make much sense because Barack Obama's buying beachfront property.
So the conspiracy theory there is they tell everybody that climate change is happening.
Don't worry, it's not going to happen for 10 or 20 years, but we need to start producing wind turbines and solar panels and great massive capacity.
And it's like, okay, well, if your oil infrastructure was going to get destroyed in a war, that's one thing you'd want to have in excess.
The other thing I'll add too is that according to the Adam and Eve story, the Adam and Eve theory, do you know what part of the world is going to survive the Great Flood based on these?
The Appalachian Mountains are the Rockies, but the Rockies are very far away.
So when you look at the forecast models of the Adam and Eve theory, this is, again, I'm not saying this is true.
The forecast models show that the Appalachian Mountains will be one of the few areas that will not be swept away by the flood in the Northern Hemisphere.
That just so happens to be where they've built their emergency bunkers.
But the most fascinating part was about the synchronicities.
How after the voyages or any psychedelic trip, the psychonauts experienced extra special synchronicities.
Also, one of them noted that when he's When he scheduled the ayahuasca trip, special synchronities begin before the trip as the molecule knows you are coming.
Well, I don't know if the molecule does, but what if it's because what you experience is beyond time?
They just give you a different perception on your life and kind of give you more.
Some of it's personal, so the one not being super specific, but they just give you information about yourself that maybe you didn't feel like you had access to before.
So, and then that's also the story of like the book of Enoch, how the angels gave information to humans and that was like their sin, why they got cast away from God.
My point is like, when I was hearing these claims that the entities will try and tell you things that will benefit you, but you can't trust them because they're demons.
And I'm like, man, that's tough because that's what the corporate press says about me.
Everybody's getting their information from a fractured source, and everybody else is in their ear telling you, don't trust that fractured source, as a natural response to the fact that nobody cares for the guy in the suit in front of the monitor anymore.
I think for the most, I feel like in a lot of ways, the way we're seeing the media fracture now with everything you guys were talking about earlier, it feels like they're trying to push everybody back to the safety of the guy in the suit.
It's like, I can't know what is real, anyways.
When we were talking about it the other day, when we were talking about what's going on in Iran, and somebody's like, okay, 40,000 protesters were slaughtered.
Well, I don't know if that actually happened.
I didn't see it.
I don't know what's going on.
And somebody else says, well, we blew up a girls' school.
I'm like, I didn't see that either.
Well, at least back in the day, maybe the guy in the suit was lying to me.
But at least I had that sense of like my brain is turned off and I'm just going to take him at his word.
I had like, I guess I do feel like politics are such a planned ordeal that there's something really disgusting about the idea of it being a top down plan to push it back that way.
Like when you're talking about.
Joe Kent, he gets along with Trump, but he says this because they're actually trying to, like, I guess, orchestrate a plan to change the way that people are perceiving things.
I don't want people orchestrating plans to change the way that I perceive things.
And the fact that we have to live in a world now where you have to distinguish that constantly will end up being a checkout point for a lot of people.
Like, look, I don't know anymore.
I'm just going to go watch TV and do whatever because I can't handle it anymore.
Warner Brothers is really litigious and you'll get a strike, not just a claim.
And the point of it to be to keep you from talking about it because they're going to take the base assumption.
If you're covering it on YouTube, yeah, there's the ones who work with the channel specifically because they have access to the companies, but everybody else, they're going to assume that you're hostile.
Yeah, they don't like there's no point in starting because you, first of all, you just listed that whole process of like, I file this, they file this, then they send it to my lawyers.
Well, the average person doesn't have lawyers that they can send.
Like for us, we have to move on and just talk about things that don't involve that, or at least we're going to be like, okay, well, we're going to maybe we'll watch it afterwards, but we can't watch it.
But here's what happened in it.
And of course, that makes the content less engaging by definition, making it impossible to get a foothold.
You're seeing the ladder getting pulled up like right now because.
Like YouTube, again, the successful creators, it's locked in now.
And then it's funny, you'll see tweets go viral all the time where people are like, it's harder and harder to find a good video to watch while I'm eating on YouTube.
That was like the thing you watch a video while you're eating, and it's getting impossible.
The content is getting worse.
The actual quality of content on YouTube is getting worse.
And now you're seeing the market react.
So I thought this was really fascinating.
I was in the UK recently, and there, this isn't an advertisement because I think this is a bad thing, quite frankly, but Sky, that's like the biggest provider in the UK, has a new bundle.
Like, no one's ever done this.
And it's like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, all in the same bundle.
Once the chimps figure out how to drive cars, we'll have no choice but to engage with them because sooner or later, they'll be driving through our streets and cities.
And that's when we'll introduce and begin communication.
I'm going to tell you a couple stories, and it's related to this.
So, the first story is that there were test monkeys being transported through O'Hare.
And one of the airline employees saw the monkeys in these little crates, and they have steel, like they have metal grates.
And it was a wood box, and everyone was laughing.
And then one guy took a banana from the cafeteria, cracked it, grabbed a bunch of banana, and smushed it into the monkey cage for them.
And the monkey started eating them.
And I'm like, bro, that's messed up.
Like, don't feed the monkeys.
You have no idea what they're for, what they're doing.
You can get sick.
But the other crazy story is that they used to let dogs run around.
So when you have your dog going to the cargo hold and you drop it off, they would bring it in the break room and open the thing and let the dog run around.
And one day, the doors in the break room, the main break room for American Eagle, they don't latch shut.
They're just heavy.
So when you pull them open, there's no bar, no knob or anything.
So apparently, what happened was they opened the crate, let the dog run around the break room, and thought it was funny, and the dog was freaking out.
So the break room has two doors, it goes across the whole terminal.
Or, like, the B gates or whatever.
So, a guy walked up, or I think this is H, and he grabbed the door to open it to walk in, and the dog bolted out and got out and ran off.
And also, they, I mean, if they put it on the tarmac when the engines are roaring, like before they load it in, it's bad for their ears and stuff, you know?
In California, who would wear this, like, it was like a front facing backpack, I guess, but he put a platform on it and it was like a cat sitting on it.
And he would just walk down the boardwalk every day.
The way this works is if you get a really good poker hand in Texas Hold'em and someone else gets a really good poker hand and they're both above a certain threshold, the bad beat triggers where I think they did a $10,000 one where the loser gets five grand, the winner gets three grand, and everyone at the table shares in two grand.
So, what happened was the way the promo works at most places, if you have four, like, so it's called quads, four of a kind, sevens, and you lose, meaning someone has better, like a straight flush, a royal flush, or, you know, quad eights are better, that triggers the bad beat.
Very, very rarely do you ever see a straight flush beat quads.
Like, it's hard enough to get those hands.
So, the thing is, the way Charlestown did it is that I think it was every month.
Every month, if no one got the bad beat, they would reduce the threshold, making it easier to get.
And that was a really great idea.
The idea is that by offering this great promotion, more people want to come and play in your card room.
The only problem is it triggered three times in one month.
So, being responsible gamblers, the casino said, We're not going to do this anymore.
We've lost too many times.
If you go to a casino and you lose three times, you'd stop.
I do think Bitcoin will one day be at a million dollars based on the decimal point breakdown, meaning that one Satoshi will be equivalent to like, will be like one cent.
So, one Bitcoin can have eight decimal point fractions.
So, the smallest increment of a Bitcoin is called a Satoshi, and that would be the equivalent of one cent, meaning what Bitcoin itself will be $1 million.
Yeah, also, like, I don't think you're talking about us on this show where I've defended Trump and we went into great detail about how Trump may have a plan.
There is a coordinated op campaign targeting people based on, and it may be from Trump, I don't know.
But the way it works, I'll keep it simple for you guys.
They will scrape the internet for stories to get a general sense of someone's political leanings or opinion.
They will then go to botnets or marketing companies and say, target people that feel this way about thing.
So if you were to search for like Tim Poole recently, Daily Beast has continually wrote stories saying that I'm attacking Trump, which I never did once.
It's just fake news.
So if you work for a PR company and you don't know who I am or what I think, you're going to start having your people spam Tim Poole hates Trump.
Because the bot campaigns or the coordinated campaigns with people don't know who I am or what I've said.
It's all fake.
We've actually talked about this quite a bit over the past 10 years.
I've been on a bunch of videos about this where people will say, like, that joke if you say you like pancakes, someone will say, Why do you hate waffles?
So there are a ton of instances of this where a company will scrape social media, identify prominent personalities.
They will say, This person does not like Coca Cola.
They like Pepsi.
However, that post might actually have been sarcasm.
The person will post something like, Oh, yeah, sure, I'd love to drink Pepsi because Coke is disgusting.
And they're actually being sarcastic.
But the botnet campaigns don't know what sarcasm is.
So all of a sudden, you'll make a post where you're like, looking forward to picking up a bunch of Pepsi today, and all the comments will be, you people who hate Pepsi are disgusting.
And you're like, wait, what just happened?
Like, why are they responding as though I said the opposite?
For years, and I mean, no malice with this, but I am like a goy slop guardian.
Like, I do believe that actually, this low kind of like this low, low brow food is actually some of the best cuisine on planet Earth where you can reliably get the best burger in town typically at a McDonald's.
It's also like designed to make you hungry again after you like it.
Like, if you eat McDonald's, like, if you break the if you break it and you don't eat it for like six months and then you eat it, you're like, why do I want it again?
Yeah, apparently people are saying that Ireland is revolting against the globalists, but it looks like, what, like probably several hundred people, maybe, maybe a few thousand?
I've seen a bunch of tractors blocking one of the Ports or something like that.
I don't know how many people it is, but there's a lot, there's been a lot of immigrants put into Ireland.
And it's crazy when you see like a black guy and they're like, oh, he's Irish.
It's like, he's not Irish.
Like, no offense to anybody, but like, you, you, it's okay to say that Irish people are Irish and people that live in Ireland, like, they may be citizens, but they're not Irish.
Yeah, I mean, the same thing, you know, when it's like some dude from Somalia or from somewhere in Africa, and they're like, Oh, he's a Swedish guy, it's like, This is a Maryland man, yeah, Maryland man.
No, Ireland's a really weird case in Western Europe.
I've always long maintained the position that the first place things are going to truly pop off, so to speak, will be Ireland because Ireland is the only country in Western Europe that had kinetic conflict in recent memory.
Like up until 1997, they had.
Actual kinetic conflict until the Good Friday Agreement in 1997, obviously fighting the British.
In addition to that, Ireland has the youngest population in Western Europe.
And in addition to that, they don't have a right wing party.
They have two left wing parties, one center left and one is actually left wing.
So this is a country that is familiar with kinetic conflict, has a young population, a terrible economy.
I mean, I know they have the highest GDP per capita in the EU, but the reason for that is primarily because they have like tax breaks for companies like Microsoft, Apple, et cetera.
A lot of them are actually headquartered in Ireland.
None of that's trickling down to the Irish population.
They have Ridiculous mass migration, like probably the most egregious cases of mass migration scamming going on in the world.
So, all of this is just a recipe for disaster.
So, this kind of stuff, quite frankly, is actually kind of tame compared to what we were seeing in Ireland last year, where they were literally burning down migrant hotels.
The year before that, we saw like full blown riots in Dublin.
So, Ireland really feels like a powder keg.
And, like I said, with all those contributing factors, I wouldn't be surprised to see Ireland be the first place to truly chimp out.
Because it's this really funny thing about Irish leftists where they like chess beat over, they shadow box where they like pretend like the crown is still like a relevant opposing force in any single, like any way.
And then also they will rail on like unionist Protestants in Northern Ireland while simultaneously battery farming like the entire third world.
So it's like, okay, so your genetic cousins are your enemy, but like people from.
Pakistan, India, Nigeria are like suddenly the left.
The reason Conor McGregor is running for office or considering running for office is kind of unclear is because there is no right wing party in Ireland.
So, in Germany, UK, US, the right wing party operates as like a siphon, a release valve for pressure.
Ireland doesn't have a release pressure, a valve to release pressure because they don't have a right wing party.
So, people that are right wing in Ireland literally feel like they have no representation, no outlet whatsoever.
So, that's why you typically see riots in Ireland quite often is because they don't have any outlet for their anger or their disagreement, disagreements with the Irish government broadly.
So, that's why Conor McGregor's even thinking about running and why he's even viable as a political figure is because there's no one else.
There's no right wing party for him to operate in.
Granted, he got a little confused.
He ran for a president when the president's mostly a ceremonial figure in Ireland.
He should have ran for prime minister, but, uh, You know, maybe, maybe there's something, uh, something to be said about being the ceremonial president of Ireland or just saying you're running so it sounds good for Americans because you're doing something, I guess.
Listen, I've got a working theory going on here that the reason why Muslim countries are so violent and Muslim men in particular are so violent. Is because of repressed homosexuality.
I don't know for sure, but I've heard that the stuff that you saw in Afghanistan isn't ubiquitous with Islam so much as it is normal with the tribal people out there because they're, you know.
