0:00.0	I am not sure which timeline of the multiverse we're in, but Donald Trump, whichever one we're in right now, Donald Trump has gone completely bonkers.
0:18.3	I'm Josh Gay from The Ring of Fire, filling in for David Pacman,
0:22.0	and you can catch me at YouTube.com slash the Ring of Fire. And look, if you would have told me
0:28.0	two years ago that Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Candice Owens, Alex Jones would be some of the loudest
0:37.1	voices calling for the 25th Amendment to remove
0:40.8	Donald Trump from office. I would have asked if you'd been drinking what Hegsteth was drinking.
0:45.6	Then I would probably ask for some more there, but here we are. And Trump posts a 482 word rant
0:53.9	on Truth Social, calling all four of these ardent supporters of his,

1:32.0	And you have to see this post.
1:34.8	It's insane.
1:36.6	He starts off saying, I know why Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Candice Owens, and Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years,
1:46.0	especially by the fact that they think it's wonderful for Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, to have a nuclear
1:52.1	weapon.
1:53.1	And you got to stop for a second and realize that's the capability that we destroyed over
1:58.2	a year ago.
1:59.9	Iran had no capability of having a nuclear weapon.
