Summary
World War 3 is a trending topic on social media, with many saying it's not as bad as some have suggested, and that Trump is not going to nuke Iran. However, a deal has yet to be struck between the United States and Iran, and some are concerned that a deal will not be struck.
Transcript
00:00:00.140
Welcome, my friends, to World War Three, with many of you saying, hold on, Tim, it's not World War Three.
00:00:06.960
It has not yet gotten that bad, and Trump is not going to nuke Iran.
00:00:14.180
However, World War Three is trending, as world leaders have repeatedly stated over the past several years that we are in World War Three.
00:00:21.920
Well, Russia and Ukraine, then Venezuela, now Iran.
00:00:27.560
Iran has just brought in 20 nations into this conflict.
00:00:31.860
I suppose you could argue that the U.S. launching the conflict triggered this off.
00:00:36.800
But all that really matters is that we are now dealing with war all over the world.
00:00:43.160
The interesting thing here, World War II, we look back on this and we say it kicked off with the Nazis invading Poland.
00:00:50.040
However, at the time, no one thought that there were a series of conflicts happening around the globe, which eventually bubbled up into this is a great war.
00:01:04.960
Right now, we are looking at conflicts across the planet.
00:01:08.560
And some have argued that these regional conflicts are what compose a world at war, that we don't need a definitive, we hereby declare World War III moment.
00:01:18.620
Now, you may say, Tim, a conflict with Iran is certainly not a World War III make, except speculation has already been swirling that Russia and China have been providing direct military aid in this war with the U.S., meaning they are absolutely involved.
00:01:36.920
Rumors speculate that Iran does not have the capabilities to shoot down a US F-15E and that
00:01:44.020
required technological assistance from Russia. That is, some believe Russia intervened to help
00:01:50.480
shoot down Americans in a fighter jet, resulting in a massive rescue operation.
00:01:56.800
Now, I'll tell you this. I don't know. You tell me. Honestly, you tell me. We've got this report
00:02:02.460
from Axios that says, we're very close to World War III. 20 countries are involved in this conflict
00:02:08.160
and Iran's attacking everybody too, but it's not quite World War III. This morning, World War III
0.81
00:02:15.020
was trending because Donald Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization unless they bend
00:02:22.940
the knee in Iran. Now, of course, we have two views on this. Some say Trump's bluffing. It's
00:02:28.320
the art of the deal. He threatens them with the most extreme case and they're going to back down.
00:02:33.140
He's not actually going to nuke anybody. Well, Trump has threatened to blow up power plants
00:02:37.020
and bridges. And now we are seeing reports of Iranians forming human shields around these
00:02:45.120
power plants and bridges. Of course, many prominent Trump supporters saying Iran is
00:02:49.600
forcing them to do it. And that's a war crime. Well, proponents, or I should say those who
00:02:56.100
oppose on Trump. I'll say proponents of the anti-war message are arguing that these are
00:02:59.580
people valiantly standing up to an oppressive American war machine. There's no easy way to
00:03:05.980
cut it, my friends. Pick your poison. Do you stand with the United States efforts or do you oppose
00:03:11.680
them? And I present to you the new wager. And it's this. If you are anti-Trump and Trump wins,
00:03:22.460
the matter. Trump's not going to do anything to you. If you are pro-Trump and Trump wins,
00:03:29.220
you're good. I mean, Trump will say thank you. If you are anti, so if you are anti-Trump
00:03:35.700
and Trump loses, if you are pro-Trump and Trump loses, you're in trouble. There we go. That's
00:03:40.660
the quadrant. It's four pieces, right? To put it simply, let me try and capture that again.
00:03:45.100
The most dangerous position to hold is to be in support of Trump if Trump loses,
00:03:49.580
because then you are going to have Trump's enemies coming after you for having supported him.
00:03:54.660
Whereas if you oppose him, you're safe no matter what. And this includes the war with Iran.
00:03:59.800
We are seeing many prominent individuals, former Trump supporters,
00:04:03.720
now coming out and saying Trump should be removed. AOC and Candace Owens together at last.
00:04:09.980
Well, if you oppose Trump and Trump wins, he's not going to lock you up. You're not going to go to
00:04:16.120
jail. Foreign adversaries won't come for you. But if you are pro-Trump and he loses, you will get
00:04:20.620
Nuremberg, my friends. Now, I mean, you know, in all seriousness, the most extreme case is like a
0.87
00:04:25.580
communist revolution or otherwise. But let's start here and then we'll go through some of the videos
00:04:29.240
and the latest updates. The deadline is 8 p.m., my friends. What will it be? We don't know for
00:04:34.820
sure, but CNBC is reporting. Trump warns Iran's whole civilization will die tonight unless a deal
00:04:42.680
is struck. Before we get started, head over to TimCast.com and click join now to get in our

Most of you already know this, so I'm not going to spend too much time reading over
00:05:25.660
Trump's threat to wipe out a whole civilization.
00:05:32.340
Quote, a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.
00:05:36.800
I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.
00:05:40.660
However, now that we have complete and total regime change where different, smarter and
00:05:44.140
less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionary, revolutionarily wonderful can
00:05:53.060
Well, my friends, we had this conflicted report, which matters a lot.
00:05:58.840
It was being reported that Iran had suspended all diplomatic and indirect lines of communication
00:06:05.180
This coming from Iranian media and picked up by American media sources, indicating Iran
00:06:10.740
is refusing to negotiate and Trump would be forced to make the ultimate play.
00:06:16.880
However, Tehran Times has deleted the report and there are rumors they may actually be
00:06:24.780
Now, we do have videos of these human shields forming around power plants.
00:06:28.700
That's going to stop Trump from being able to bomb them, which is a massive risk on the
00:06:34.420
but I think it's a very clever tactic. Donald Trump, I will stress this. People say it's a
00:06:42.040
war crime to take out power plants and bridges. I do not believe that is correct. I believe there
0.97
00:06:48.180
are certain, like if Trump were to bomb the desalination plant, that could be considered
00:06:51.940
a war crime. But I want to stress this to everybody. Define war crime in the philosophical
0.90
00:06:57.820
sense. Please, for the love of all that is holy, tell me what a war crime is. The idea of a war
0.53
00:07:04.060
crime is basically saying we will conduct efforts to murder each other in a gentlemanly way.
00:07:10.800
The concept of war crimes don't matter when war actually does. If you are facing a true
00:07:17.300
existential threat, survival is all anyone cares about. No one, no one's going to play these games.
00:07:23.640
If the U.S. wants to crush Iran, your concept of war crimes are meaningless. You can say it all day.
00:07:29.340
I'm not saying that blowing up power plants or desalination plants is a good thing. I'm just
00:07:34.000
saying those who want to win will win by any means necessary. Let's take a look at this
00:07:40.700
from Axios on March 10th, which is really fascinating. A world at war, but not a world
00:07:45.680
war. Huh? Iran conflict goes global. Indeed. Ten days, and this is, mind you, this is from March
00:07:53.020
into Trump's Iran campaign. At least 20 countries are now militarily involved,
00:07:57.800
shooting, shielding, or quietly supplying, while a widening energy shock punishes nations far from
00:08:03.780
the front lines. This isn't World War III, but it may be the closest we've come in decades,
00:08:09.060
drawing in more countries, more great powers, and more overlapping conflicts than any crisis
00:08:14.360
since the Cold War. Iran has struck at least 10 countries since the war began, hitting U.S. and
0.61
00:08:20.520
Israeli bases, Persian Gulf capitals, oil infrastructure, and civilian areas in an
00:08:25.540
attempt to impose maximum pain on Washington and its allies. They have cut off the Strait of
00:08:31.180
Hormuz. Israel is fighting on two fronts, pounding Iran while battling Hezbollah on the ground in
0.69
00:08:37.260
Lebanon. The war has spread far beyond the Middle East, pulling European militaries into the
00:08:42.260
conflict, forcing NATO to shoot down Iranian missiles over allied territory for the first
00:08:46.800
time. France has dispatched its nuclear-powered aircraft. Greece and Turkey, bitter rivals,
00:08:52.280
also rushed forces to Cyprus. Even Australia said Monday it's sending missiles and radar
00:08:58.440
planes to help the UAE and other Gulf countries. Absolutely fascinating, my friends. Let me give
00:09:04.560
some context. I asked our good friend Grok, was World War II started at once or was it a slow
00:09:10.600
encroaching of various global conflicts? World War II is conventionally dated as beginning on
00:09:16.520
September 1st, 1939, when Nazi Germany invaded Poland. Two days later, Britain and France
00:09:21.740
declared war on Germany in fulfillment of their defense commitments to Poland. This marked the
0.78
00:09:26.700
formal start of the conflict in Europe. However, historians widely view this as a culmination
00:09:32.240
of a slow encroaching buildup of tensions, aggressions and regional conflicts rather
00:09:37.840
than a sudden isolated outbreak. The war did not erupt at once in a vacuum. It grew from
00:09:44.100
unresolved issues after World War One, economic instability, the rise of authoritarian regimes
00:09:50.040
and a pattern of unchecked expansionism by the future Axis powers, Germany, Italy, and Japan.
00:09:56.840
The point here, my friends, World War II and the Civil War and say all wars historically have a
00:10:04.600
definitive starting point. And if you watch my show, you're going, Tim, we get it. You told us
00:10:08.500
a million times. We don't know when a war truly begins until well after that war. The shot heard
00:10:14.000
around the world. Well, that was a full year before the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
00:10:18.740
Fort Sumter. After the battle at Fort Sumter in the American Civil War, where we say it started,
00:10:25.200
people were picnicking at the battlefield at the first Battle of Bull Run because they did not
00:10:29.420
believe war had actually started. And of course, in Europe, with the invasion of Poland, no one
00:10:36.560
was just saying, hey, boys, we just kicked off World War Three. But historically, we look back
00:10:41.120
and we know this. Now, this may be World War Three. It is trending. And sooner or later,
00:10:46.380
someone will decide. Maybe it was Russia's invasion of Ukraine. I don't think so.
00:10:51.480
Maybe, but I don't know. It could be the start of the war with Iran as Russia
00:10:56.080
is rumored to be providing military tech. This is not just a proxy war where Russia provides
00:11:02.920
intel to their or actually I say Russia has forces in Ukraine fighting Ukrainians and the
00:11:07.360
U.S. provides intel to Ukraine to take out Russian assets. This is now Russia directly
0.71
00:11:12.180
providing assets for blowing up the United States, which would mean our infrastructure
0.75
00:11:17.760
and our military capabilities. If that is true, the U.S. and Russia are now fighting each other
00:11:23.400
on various battlefields. We've got this video from Eric Daugherty. He says,
00:11:28.920
Breaking Iran is now forming human chains in front of power plants in Qasaran in a bid to
0.97
00:11:34.260
dissuade President Trump's strikes come 8 p.m. They even invited children to attend.
00:12:04.300
Again, there's the video footage you can see what appears to show people
00:12:08.340
standing outside of a power plant in Iran, so they report. We also have this footage from
00:12:13.020
current report just in. Iranians are gathering on bridges and around the plants, forming human
1.00
00:12:18.160
chains of the threats of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran's civilian infrastructure.
00:12:22.200
In this footage that we're seeing, for those of you who's listening, looks like there are
00:12:40.660
people holding a gigantic banner of the Iranian flag, standing on various bridges to prevent
00:12:47.940
the U.S. from striking them, as that would be massive collateral damage.
00:12:51.320
Trump absolutely cannot strike these targets with these people nearby. Now, as for the power plant,
00:12:57.260
it's a different story. There may be people outside the power plant, but they're not inside
00:13:01.140
the power plant. So if Trump were to bomb that power plant, I don't know. Now, my friends,
00:13:05.640
many people have said it would be a war crime. And as we went over this, the argument is that
00:13:09.360
power plants and bridges are dual use. They can be used for military advancement. So they're not
00:13:13.440
necessarily civilian targets. War crime, war crime, whatever. Trump has threatened to take
00:13:18.580
out desalination plants and water supplies. And there was a funny story where apparently Israel
0.87
00:13:24.520
bombed a heavy water facility and people who don't know anything about foreign policy but
00:13:28.820
inject themselves into it because politics is pop culture said, oh, no, they're taking out their
00:13:33.220
water. No, heavy water is not drinkable, potable water. Heavy water is an industrial compound
00:13:39.460
used in nuclear power plants and for weapons. Now we have this. Anthony Scaramucci warns Trump's
00:13:46.820
push for European involvement in the Strait of Hormuz could trigger World War III. Someone needs
00:13:52.400
to find the exit ramp. He's not wrong. We are getting to a dangerous position with this massive
00:13:59.640
threat from Trump. But I want to stress, my friends, we call this deja vu, deja vu all over
00:14:05.440
again. I want to pull in some commentary for you guys. We've got let me see if I can find this one.
00:14:11.200
We've got Michael Malice here, who is countering these narratives.
00:14:16.320
And he says, North Korea spent decades acting crazy to get other nations to capitulate.
00:14:22.540
Boris Johnson admitted to doing the same with Brexit negotiations, pretending he was ready
00:14:27.620
When Trump acts like a loon, it's the one time his opponents insist he's being honest.
00:14:35.700
Trump threatens North Korea with fire and fury, 2017.
00:14:38.640
And then Trump threatens death, fire and fury if Iran disrupts Strait of Hormuz.
00:14:44.780
The argument here, my friends, is that Trump is pulling the madman strategy and he is both
0.98
00:14:53.880
Indeed, well, the idea is that Trump is making grand and insane sounding threats to force
0.71
00:15:02.800
The only problem is, as Michael Malice points out, it's the one time everyone acts like
00:15:07.420
he's telling the truth. This time, when we know it's his game plan, do you think the Iranians
1.00
00:15:13.400
believe any of this? I suppose, my friends, the challenge would be Iran may just think Trump's
00:15:20.480
not going to do it. He never will. There was that famous leaked phone call where he said he was
00:15:25.360
talking to Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. And he said, Putin, if you invade Ukraine, I will nuke
00:15:29.900
Moscow. He said to Xi Jinping, if you take Taiwan, I will nuke Beijing. Really? Well, Russia invaded
00:15:36.340
Ukraine and Trump did not nuke Moscow. In fact, Trump didn't do all that much. So why would any
00:15:42.820
of our adversaries believe the madman theory? This is from RNZ. They say an international law
00:15:49.660
expert says the president appears to be employing what is known as the madman theory, an attempt to
00:15:54.140
end the war in Iran. In an expletive laden post overnight, Trump vowed to strike Iran's power
00:15:59.240
plants and bridges if the country's leaders don't reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The madman theory was
00:16:03.720
a strategy brought to fame by Richard Nixon's unsuccessful attempt to end the Vietnam War.
00:16:07.860
The strategy involves behaving in an irrational, erratic manner and threatening to go to extreme
00:16:11.820
lengths to end the war or conflict. The idea is that you don't know whether the person will or
00:16:16.420
won't do it, and the opposition will be scared into making a deal. The issue with Trump's use
00:16:21.760
of the strategy in the case of Iran is that it relies upon rational opposition. I'm going to
0.96
00:16:27.520
tell you why I worry about this. I'm going to tell you in a way that I would love to tell you,
00:16:34.400
and that's poker. So let me tell you a quick story. I'll just make it quick for people who
00:16:38.800
don't really care, but this is an age-old game, and I'm a big fan, big player. My friends,
00:16:44.180
you all know what it means to bluff, but many people who don't understand the game of poker,
00:16:50.420
many of them think it'd be just little old gambling, believe bluff just means to make a big
00:16:55.320
bet to scare off your opponent because you've got a great hand. You're basically saying, you know
00:17:00.060
what? My cards are so good. I'm all in. The only problem is if I have a read on you and if your
00:17:06.980
story doesn't make sense, I'm going to call your bluff. See, I once played a hand with a guy and
00:17:13.480
let's just say I'll keep the jargon at a minimum. So I make a bet. He calls my bet. The cards come
00:17:22.040
out, I'm pretty happy. So I make a bet. He calls my bet. Looking at the board, the structure of
00:17:27.080
the cards that came out do not indicate that I was anything other than the best possible hand.
00:17:31.800
Meaning strong hands like a royal flush couldn't exist or four of a kind. These things were not
00:17:37.240
possible, right? I know for people who play poker, I could get a little more detail, but I'm trying
00:17:40.820
to keep it light. So I knew while I didn't have the best possible hand, there's very little that
00:17:45.700
would beat me in this circumstance. And so this there gentleman called and then finally at the
00:17:51.700
end, when I make a bet, he shoves all his chips in. He shoved all his chips. He says, I've got
00:17:58.600
the best hand. And I look at the board and this is how the game is played. Every step of the way,
00:18:05.300
we're thinking about what you might do with a certain range of cards you might have. How would
00:18:10.640
you behave? Well, I would argue that the structure of the board and the actions he took told a bad
00:18:16.640
story. It did not make sense. The story he told indicated he had nothing, got scared and was
00:18:24.480
hoping I would fold. And I had a really great hand anyway. So unlucky for him, it was an easy call
00:18:30.840
for me. I didn't have to read that difficult. I didn't miss. I made it. Two pair, actually. Top
00:18:35.860
two. Ace Jack. I call and he has absolutely nothing. And so I ask this, what story are you
00:18:44.520
trying to tell with your lie that you think I would back down. Let's translate this to the
00:18:49.520
madman theory. Now, by all means, I know there's a lot of people who support Trump and believe the
00:18:53.140
madman theory is what he's doing, as Michael Maus points out. But let me ask this. What story has
00:18:57.760
Trump been telling this whole time? Now, truth be told, we have had strikes on Cargillin overnight.
00:19:05.180
Donald Trump has bombed and wiped out a whole lot. But is the story Trump telling over this whole
00:19:13.380
or I should say this past eight years, including Joe Biden. You know, we skipped over that
00:19:17.200
is the story being told one of blowing up civilian targets, killing people on bridges.
00:19:24.280
I'm sorry, it's not. And that's why the Iranians are gathering on these bridges.
1.00
00:19:28.860
They're going to call Trump's bluff. Mario Novel. I don't know if you're familiar,
00:19:33.320
but he's a big personality on X and he covers the news, said he believes that Trump will find
00:19:37.260
off ramp tonight. I agree. I could be wrong, guys, but I would look at this like,
00:19:43.380
Trump may make some strikes to make it seem as though he kept his word he was going to bomb them.
00:19:49.800
But I don't believe, especially with human shields forming, Donald Trump has told a story
00:19:55.860
that indicates he is willing to blow up power plants. I just don't think so.
00:20:01.080
And that being said, it could be wrong. Every once in a while, you get a master of the craft
00:20:06.460
at a poker table. And sometimes you fall for traps. Sometimes it happens. And so I played
00:20:12.480
against the guy who was very good. And he knows that I'm not bad myself. I'm not pretending to
00:20:16.840
be a great player. He knew that a basic understanding. So what did he do? He
00:20:21.020
intentionally took a route that told a bad story because he was hoping that finally in the end,
00:20:28.400
when he made that move, I would say your story makes no sense. But it's like the scene in the
00:20:34.440
Princess Bride. I switched glasses when your back was turned. And so this guy, he told a bad story
00:20:43.140
on purpose. And so there I am staring down a board where I should have the best hand,
00:20:49.600
where it wouldn't make sense for him to be able to beat me. And so I made a bet. And then he calls
00:20:55.860
and he flips over pocket jacks. And he had me. I had a pair. I had ace 10. But the story he told
00:21:04.620
was well done. It was well done. This guy was good. He was a local grinder who played
00:21:09.960
professionally, but not at the highest levels, just the low stakes games to make a living.
00:21:14.320
And it was a well played hand. And he tricked me. He led me to believe the whole time that we were
00:21:20.620
at that table, that he was a he was not a regular, that he was a tourist, that he was unfamiliar.
00:21:25.980
And then finally, I decided I'm going to make a move because I think I'm going to be good here.
00:21:30.840
And he got me. And the reason I bring this up is maybe that's the game Trump
00:21:35.140
is willing to play. He's going to pull off the grand move only when it matters most.
00:21:41.800
He makes the Iranians believe he is incapable or unwilling in every other circumstance,
0.96
00:21:46.260
Ukraine being a great example. And then they will be caught by surprised with their pants down
1.00
00:21:52.020
and get taken for a ride. You never know exactly how it's going to play out. But what I will say
00:21:57.880
is this. I don't believe the grand finale here is that Trump really is willing to bomb these
00:22:02.180
power plants. Well, I'll put it this way. He's willing to. A madman could do anything, right?
00:22:07.840
But I do believe the greater probability will be with Trump finding some off ramp,
00:22:12.680
which means limited strikes. Trump saying we did it. We'll come back at a later date if we need
00:22:19.120
to. He's been saying over and over again over the past month, we're winding things down. We've
00:22:23.940
basically won. It's over. Yet here we are with the Strait of Hormuz still closed. Now, I'll say it
00:22:30.620
again. I said it before. I'll say it a million times. Guys, you ask me what I'm doing, why I do
00:22:34.800
it. I want this country to stay together. That means the wackaloon left and the right. And that's
00:22:41.840
why I often you'll find me as a moderate. I'm trying to say, let's not lose our heads on this
00:22:48.320
one. Well, we've got Candace Owens. She says the Iranian president tweets that he's willing to
00:22:53.440
sacrifice his own life for his people. Donald Trump was willing to sacrifice Charlie Kirk
00:22:57.620
and is willing to sacrifice every American life and livelihood for greater Israel.
0.73
00:23:01.780
Who is the animal again? What? OK, well, here's AOC. This is a threat of genocide and merits
00:23:09.720
removal from office. To every individual in the president's chain of command, you have a duty to
00:23:13.460
refuse illegal orders that includes carrying out this threat. Ah, yes. AOC and Candace Owens
00:23:19.300
together at last. Well, at least Trump is the great unifier, I suppose. It seems like things
00:23:26.580
might get bad. We've got this one from Sager and Jetty. It is now a time for choosing. The era of
00:23:32.000
trying to be the reasonable voice inside is over. Anyone with an ounce of integrity should follow
00:23:36.300
the lead of Joe Kent and resign with honor or take immediate public steps to forestall disaster.
00:23:42.800
If you do not, we will not forget. Which brings me, my friends, to let's just call it
00:23:50.580
the American wager. What we are seeing right now can be defined once again, very simply.
00:23:59.200
If you are right wing and Trump wins, you are fine. If you are left wing and Trump wins,
00:24:04.660
you are fine. If you are left wing and the left wins, you are fine. But if you are right wing
00:24:08.680
and the left wins, you will be crushed. And it's worse now than ever before. Trump's gambit on
00:24:17.580
Iran on Iran is terrifying. If he follows through with this bombing campaign, but ultimately fails,
0.65
00:24:25.520
he will not only be impeached, he will be imprisoned. His administration will be
00:24:30.260
figuratively Nuremberg. If Trump fails, if China becomes the dominant global power and to all the
0.52
00:24:39.980
people who stand behind Donald Trump, should he lose, they're going to find themselves along for
00:24:45.900
the ride, which means I wouldn't be surprised to see many Trump supporters breaking away and saying
00:24:51.260
enough. I can't do this. Why? Well, there's a few a few red flags, I would say. If you're someone
00:24:58.160
one like Alex Jones. He recently came and said, how do we 25th Amendment this guy with Robert
00:25:03.160
Barnes? I'm not going to impugn their honor or imply anything, but I will say this. For people
00:25:07.600
in the media space to notice, the top global podcasts are anti-Israel, anti-Iran war, and
00:25:13.240
anti-Trump. Holy. Well, you're taking notice of where public sentiment is. These individuals are
00:25:20.340
basically saying, I don't want to be on the back end of this. Now, with Donald Trump winning the
00:25:25.140
presidency in 2016, we saw this divergence. There was the woke element, the neocons during the
00:25:30.280
Democrats. However, a strong core of Trump supporters survived because it was effectively
00:25:37.360
50-50. People were able to live and work and be safe if they were Trump supporters, despite the
00:25:44.000
challenges, because there was enough support for Trump. But as this podcast machine breaks down,
00:25:51.220
as people begin to see that if you want the clicks, anti-Israel, well, then the narrative
00:25:58.720
shift is here. Trump is wrong. Greater Israel is wrong. The war is wrong. I won't stand with Trump,
00:26:04.580
they say. Me, I'm not going to play those games. I don't care if it means that they will call me
00:26:11.000
all the names in the book, accuse me of being Israeli, accuse me of being Russian, accuse me
00:26:15.240
of being pro-Iran or anti-America or pro-America, whatever it might be. I'm going to tell you what
00:26:20.140
I think is happening and why I think it's happening. I'm going to tell you why I support
00:26:24.180
Donald Trump and the things that I that he does are good and the policies he's enacted that I
00:26:29.540
support. And as I've said from the beginning, I do not support the intervention in Iran.
00:26:34.380
But I believe the most effective means of communication and control will be to keep
00:26:38.420
one hand on that steering wheel, not to throw it away and spit in his face. But I do believe
00:26:43.180
there are many prominent individuals that fear Trump is about to lose everything. The Iran war
00:26:48.500
is not popular. Gas is is way high. Democrats are going to win in the midterms and they are going
00:26:54.260
to subpoena people and they're going to ban on you. They're going to Peter Navarro you.
00:26:59.740
What's the safest thing to do before the midterms? Break from Trump. That way you won't be falsely
00:27:06.040
accused of being a Russian or subpoena to testify and put into a trap, a perjury trap where they put
00:27:12.440
you in prison. Indeed. You see, I stand up for what I believe is right. And for this, my reward
00:27:20.700
was the Biden administration with Merrick Garland falsely accusing me of taking money from Russia,
00:27:26.840
which resulted in threats of death because they want me to be scared. They want to say, Tim,
00:27:34.180
we will lie and we will use the weight of government and destroy you and truth be damned.
1.00
00:27:39.160
you will be crushed. Okay, I guess. You guys can screw yourselves. You can lie all day and night.
1.00
00:27:48.820
But I do believe the fear campaign works. Think about what they did with that false accusation
00:27:54.320
of Russia, Russia, Russia. They did it to Trump. They did it to me and several other prominent
00:27:58.460
conservative personalities. And now the Democrats are lining up to take back the House and wield
00:28:05.360
that power once again. And what about 2028? What they're basically saying to me and everybody else
00:28:11.760
is they are willing to put a knife in our backs to lie and destroy everything that we hold dear
00:28:17.740
in the most devious and dirtiest of ways. Yeah, I opposed U.S. involvement in the war in Ukraine.
00:28:26.100
And for this, the machine state came after me. The funny thing is now, while I still oppose
00:28:32.640
this interventionist policies. I am not a big fan of U.S. world police. I do believe it's in the
00:28:37.440
best interest of the American people that we win this conflict in Iran. It ends in a way beneficial
1.00
00:28:42.820
to us. Now we're seeing people break, breaking ranks. Trump must be removed. You got Tucker
00:28:50.580
Carlson making the case that Trump is the antichrist. Lord have mercy. Trump firing back
00:28:56.240
saying Tucker Carlson's low IQ, low IQ. Wow. I don't know where the chips will fall.
00:29:05.840
I'm not going to advocate that Donald Trump be 25th Amendment did. I think that's silly.
0.93
00:29:10.580
I think that every president we've had of my lifetime has started some war,
00:29:14.140
except for Trump in his first term. Now Trump in a second term, he has.
00:29:17.320
I am critical of those decisions. It's already shown itself to be bad. Gas prices are way up.
00:29:35.660
You know, the people that want to 25th Amendment Donald Trump, by all means, you're allowed
00:29:42.820
I'm not going to question whether Alex Jones is serious about it or not.
00:29:46.140
What I do think is there are many prominent people in media that don't know which direction
00:29:50.160
to go and are scared of being booted, I guess. In quarter four of 2025, Timcast IRL was the 122nd
00:29:59.140
biggest podcast in the world. Wow. We just notched right above Realtime with Bill Maher.
00:30:05.540
Of course, there are many other much more prominent and larger shows than us.
00:30:09.460
And over the past several months, I would say Timcast IRL concurrent viewership has gone from
00:30:15.080
an average of 50,000 per night to now around 35. On YouTube, we do around like 20K. On Rumble,
00:30:22.080
we do about 15 or so, and viewership is down. It's been reported that for right-wing personalities,
00:30:29.340
conservative, moderate, pro-America, et cetera, they've seen a general decline of around 27 or
00:30:33.280
so percent, which tracks, I guess. This show has done the same as it always has. My morning show,
00:30:39.900
Timcast News, done the same as it always has, but I can see there's a general decline.
00:30:43.140
I just think it's seasonal, I guess. I'm not going to cry about it. But I've had conversations
00:30:47.620
with prominent people in media on the right, and they've been freaking out because their revenue
00:30:51.700
is way down, and revenue is way down for everybody. And they're starting to panic. What do we do?
00:30:58.860
I'm not surprised then to see so many people chasing Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson.
00:31:04.580
You know, I take a look at the podcast rankings, and they're on top. Not on every platform,
00:31:08.340
mind you, but on Spotify, they're doing very well. Look at Candace Owens' viewership on YouTube.
00:31:14.160
120,000 concurrent viewers, massive female audience, money to be made. Your CPMs, your
00:31:19.680
RPMs remain high when you go that route. I'm not surprised to see people going this direction.
00:31:25.180
They are chasing after what they think is what the people want. Me, I'm going to tell you what
00:31:31.080
I think is real, what I think is important. And even if that means people are going to put me on
00:31:35.000
the outs. This means I've been critical of Trump wherever I think he's needed to be criticized.
00:31:39.220
It means I've supported him tremendously on the things I think he should be supported on.
00:31:43.100
I've defended Ro Khanna and other Democrats, but largely remained very, very critical of the
00:31:47.480
Democratic Party and Joe Biden. I'll tell you what I think is true. I'm not going to run. I'm
00:31:51.680
not going to hide. And no one is going to threaten me with death or false accusations to make me lie.
00:32:01.280
Recently, Angel Studios offered us a good sponsorship for their new film, Animal Farm,
00:32:06.420
and I rejected it because it was the right thing to do.
0.87
00:32:08.900
And that's dumb for a business that is in the ad sales business, right?
00:32:15.200
An advertiser might say, don't go to Tim Pool.
0.97
00:32:17.620
If he doesn't like your product, he's going to come and cause you problems.
00:32:23.740
So be it. If I am but a humble man in a boat on the river fishing, and that is all that becomes
00:32:30.080
of me, at least I know that I had I held my honor and my dignity. I am not suggesting any of the
00:32:37.020
individuals criticizing Trump have none. In fact, this may be one of the most honorable things they
00:32:40.620
can do if they genuinely believe that Trump has crossed that line to break from their own
00:32:45.780
audiences is a scary thing. I am not suggesting anyone who criticizes Trump is doing so out of
00:32:51.720
fear. I do believe many are. So we shall see tonight. Smash the like button if you so choose.
