TIM POOL (HOST): As of right now, the concern is that Donald Trump is trying to protect the markets. In the meantime, this is all misdirection. It's not just about the markets. It's that the US is gearing up for major escalation in Iran. Maybe not. Trump has consistently said, no, no, no, no. We're gonna wind things down. In the meantime, the actions have spoken much, much louder.
Let me show you what's currently going on. We have this story, which I'll jump to, but I wanna show you this tweet from The Kobeissi Letter. This is absolutely insane. It's 7:04 AM eastern today. President Trump said the US and Iran have had productive discussions to end the Iran war. By 7:10 AM eastern, the S&P 500 surged 240 points, adding 2 trillion in market cap; 27 minutes later, Iran completely denied all of President Trump's claims and said there has been no contact with the US. By 8 AM, the S&P had fallen a 120 points erasing 1 trillion in market cap. That's a $3 trillion swing market cap in 56 minutes just in the S&P 500. What is happening here?
Now I got to tell you, my friends. If you had information pertaining to Trump's announcement, you just got rich. That's just — there's no question about it. I mean, you put a couple million bucks in. You see a massive spike. Get paid, baby. Now maybe not super rich, but let me give you the story first, and I then want to show you what's really interesting here. And that is a day or so ago, I noticed, or everybody did, there was a tweet. Polymarket insiders apparently were making a big bet on an Iranian ceasefire by March 31. They bet massive amounts of money, and then we get this message. This is not Trump on a whim. This was preplanned messaging for Monday morning, probably over the weekend, and insiders knew. Now what does that ultimately mean for a market insider? I don't know. But when you track these things on Polymarket, understand my friends that greed is a powerful, powerful vice. And there are individuals that can't help but try and extract money from people when they know something nobody else does. But this exposes military operations and the plans of our administration. It's certainly interesting. Right?
