TIM POOL (HOST): Trump putting out this post on Truth Social saying, you know, Israel was so angry about what's going on, they had to bomb Iran's natural gas field, which is just insane. Israel has no regard for the repercussions that will be generated from what is going on.
And, I would make the argument that they — you know, it's really funny. I'll put it like this. There's a lot of people that just say, like, you know, Israel controls the US. I'm going to say it like this, guys — they don't care. Israel is going to attempt to achieve all of its objectives now even if it spits in the face of the United States. Now by all means, there's going to be a lot of people that are pro-Israel that are like, no, no. I'm just not — I'm not listening to this, dude. Israel made this move on Iran, pressuring the United States to make a move in turn, dragging us into a war preemptively. Gas prices are now going up. Oil prices are going up. We're 200 billion in the hole. Hegseth needs the money, and now they're bombing — they bombed oil fields in Iran, pissing off Trump, and now they're bombing gas fields, pissing off Trump. This will not bode well for Israel because you already have Tucker Carlson, Joe Kent, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly. You have this massive outpouring of anti-Israel content and sentiment, not to mention the Israel derangement syndrome people on top. All of that combined is going to create a, you know what? We are done.
And I'll tell you, I argued this months ago. Support for Israel was over. From the right being anti-intervention, hey, that bore out. Right?
And the left being just plum anti-Israel. And let's be real. There's a lot of people on the right that are just plum anti-Israel as well. You look at what's going on, and I, you know, it's funny because we did talk about it. And one of the things we had entertained on TimCast was, excuse me, will Israel see this as their last opportunity to seize control in the region, knowing that young people in the United States are saying no?
The boomers, once they're gone, there is no pro-Israel sentiment. And, you know, I had this meeting that, oh, boy, everybody got mad about. I met with Netanyahu, and I outright said, in ten years, the US will not support Israel. And the only reason it's doing it now is because boomers are pro-Israel. But millennials are ambivalent.
They're fifty-fifty. You know, some are anti, some just don't care. Gen Z, largely anti-Israel. You've got the Nick Fuentes, groyper types in Gen Z, which they're outright anti-Israel. You've got the progressive left.
They are anti-Israel. And then you have the anti-interventionist libertarian types, disaffected liberals, saying, I don't want to be involved in other countries' wars.
Now I do believe, don't get me wrong, that the US has interests in the region. Of course, they always have. The reason we go to war with Iran is not just because Israel. If Israel wanted to strike Iran and we didn't have interests there, we'd be like, who cares? But the US's oil interests — and that's the big play. That's why Donald Trump is demanding that NATO allies get involved to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, but they're not doing it.
This looks to be like a massive blunder. Trump is not getting the support that he needs. Now they're talking about removing sanctions on Iranian oil. Guys, you can say whatever you want about this war, but the facts that are being reported do not bode well for Donald Trump, and this is looking to be a massive, massive mistake. And we'll see. Again, we will see because it's not over yet.
Venezuela seems to have played out decently well, Cuba decently well, but Iran is not going well.
