TIM POOL (HOST): This is how crazy things have gotten. Can -- There are people that I consider friends who have knifed me in the back because of like, Tim, why don't you talk about the Jews in Israel? And I'm like, because you're insane, dude. It's not real. You don't live in reality. You live in crackpot, lunatic world. And they live in this crazy world where it's like Israel controls everything. It's like, they don't. They've got strong political interests and powerful resources, and they do have influence in foreign countries, but they're not running the world. And then Trump, by the way, meets with, like, Saudi princes and gives them everything they want because he wants to rip the petrodollar contract, which expired what in the past year. And the petrodollar sustains the economy of the United States.
I think the reason we're getting involved in Venezuela largely is because Trump is like, the economy is not doing too well. Let's go get some oil, baby. I'm not -- I don't think it's the sole reason. Because, obviously, Venezuela has been a problem for a long time. They could have invaded a long time ago.
But, ultimately, the point is this. What we are seeing right now is Candace Owens in that leaked video, according to Jeremy Boreing, and maybe it's not true, saying, I believe what the people believe. She's saying she doesn't believe anything. She's just going say whatever gets the clicks, and boy does that get the clicks. She has found a cohort of people hungry for content.
