Tim recounts his phone conversation with Bari Weiss on election night predicting Trump would focus on the economy and DEI rollback, not foreign wars, and expresses genuine shock at the Iran conflict and America's exposed military weaknesses.
- Nick Fuentes was the only one who predicted Trump would invade Iran.
- Tim recalls calling Barry Weiss the day Trump won, expecting him to cut DEI and fix the economy.
- Weiss predicted Trump would support Israel and make a Middle East deal, but Tim didn't expect a preemptive war with Iran.
- Tim had no idea Iran could destroy military bases and that U.S. Gulf allies would get attacked without effective response.
- Backing Israel into wars with Iran and Lebanon seemed psychotic given Trump's pragmatism about money and markets.
- Trump wasn't an ideologue—he read Anne Coulter's book and focused on immigration and trade as nationalist issues.
- Trump admitted to being part of the country's scam, which was refreshing compared to typical politicians.
- Dave Chappelle's SNL monologue captured how shocking it was hearing a candidate say 'we kill a lot of people here too' on television.
