KEY INTEL: Top Economist Warns That If Trump Directly Attacks Iran, It Will Trigger Massive Increases In Oil Prices, Causing An Inflation Explosion & Will Kill The Trump Economic Recovery

About this episode

Donald Trump faces a coordinated economic sabotage campaign as a direct military strike on Iran threatens to send oil prices to $130 per barrel. This geopolitical escalation, predicted to target Iranian nuclear sites between Thursday night and Friday morning, would likely double the Consumer Price Index to 5% and trigger a stagflationary spiral. Benjamin Netanyahu and globalist entities are accused of manipulating the United States into this conflict to derail the current domestic recovery.

The Federal Reserve and international bodies like the IMF and G7 are allegedly orchestrating a policy shift to force a U.S. recession through aggressive interest rate hikes. Critics claim the Federal Reserve has prioritized European Union growth over American sovereignty since its 1913 inception, maintaining high domestic rates while lowering them for the EU. To cover the resulting deficits from a Middle East war, the government would be forced into massive currency printing, further eroding the value of the dollar and fueling an inflationary explosion.

Precious metals experts suggest that gold and silver remain the only viable defensive measures against this predicted market volatility. As the threat of a full-scale regional war looms, investors are rapidly shifting wealth into tangible assets to survive the anticipated collapse of traditional financial structures. This episode features a deep dive into the specific timelines for the projected strike on Iran and the immediate consequences for global energy markets.


CHAPTER 01 / 4 Discussion

Economic Impact of Potential War with Iran

A military conflict with Iran is projected to drive oil prices to $130 per barrel and double the Consumer Price Index inflation to 5%. This scenario creates stagflation, where rising energy costs force the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates despite a sluggish economy. Such a policy shift would likely trigger a recession and undermine Donald Trump's economic recovery plans.

00:00 If we go to war with Iran, oil goes to $130 a barrel, just that. Core CPI, consumer price index inflation probably doubles, Alex, to about 5%, doubles. The main policy initiative from the Federal Reserve to slow down inflation is to raise interest rates. If you want to stimulate the economy, you lower interest rates. You don't need a stimulated economy generally if inflation is high, that means it's like cooking, right? But this is a different kind of inflation. This inflation is created from oil prices going up because of a war in the midst of a sluggish economy because Trump hasn't had time to grow it yet. This is stagflation. The policy initiative raised rates that will cause a recession.

00:53 When you have as much debt as we have, Trump's recovery plan won't work. It'll be dead in its tracks and he's gonna get the blame for it, right? But this recession, if you don't have enough money coming in from tax revenues, what is the next thing that you do? You print money. See, this inflationary spiral I think gets worse where the war with Iran, oil prices go up, they raise interest rates, puts us into a recession. The only way to pay for the deficits is to print more money. My word, Alex, this is like the worst of all possible scenarios.

01:32 Right, and so it's almost like all the globalist, the international, the IMF, the G7 nations, the international bankers, all of them are almost in cahoots, it feels like, against Trump to make his policies not succeed. And-. There's no doubt, and so let's stop here and elaborate. You always like to be conservative and say it looks like no, it's 100%. This is something I haven't, I've said it a lot but I've not made it clear. The reason I'm so mad at Trump about the Iran thing, I still love everything he's doing, is because all the economists I look at and the facts, it's not even debated, bare minimum this war will increase fuel prices massively. That will hurt recovery. We are buying it in cheaper dollars now.

02:26 It will push everybody towards bricks even faster just like the Ukraine war did that was so stupid But the globalists actually want that and it does so many other things that as you said Goes against Trump's recovery plan. That is everything and so people saying hey, the moolahs are bad. They could get nukes Come on, let's get them. I'm not fans of them. I don't like them attacking Israel, but I also don't like Israel behind the scenes destabilizing things, Netanyahu very unpopular trying to stay in power. How they just turned Syria over to Al Qaeda. And so when you know all the other pieces, there's a lot of other ones that would take hours to go into folks. And this is just the low end of problems.

CHAPTER 02 / 4 Discussion

Globalist Interference in American Economic Recovery

International organizations including the IMF, G7, and global bankers are accused of coordinating to ensure Donald Trump's economic policies fail. The strategy involves pushing the United States into an inflationary spiral through war-induced oil spikes and subsequent interest rate hikes. To cover resulting deficits, the government would be forced to print more money, leading to a worst-case economic scenario.

03:10 Okay, if the Iranians can stay in there and keep fighting the mullahs This is just gonna escalate and it goes from bad to worse. So so quantified in simple terms What you were just saying because this is important that why this military action? Goes against his economic domestic recovery, which is key So if we go to war with Iran oil goes to a hundred and thirty dollars a barrel just that and Core CPI, consumer price index inflation probably doubles, Alex, to about 5%. Doubles. The main policy initiative from the Federal Reserve to slow down inflation is to raise interest rates. If you want to stimulate the economy, you lower interest rates. You don't need a stimulated economy generally if inflation is high. That means it's like cooking, right? But this is a different kind of inflation.

04:07 This inflation is created from oil prices going up because of a war in the midst of a sluggish economy because Trump hasn't had time to grow it yet. This is stagflation. The policy initiative raise rates that will cause a recession when you have as much debt as we have. Trump's recovery plan won't work. It'll be dead in its tracks, and he's gonna get the blame for it, right? But this recession, if you don't have enough money coming in from tax revenues, what is the next thing that you do? You print money.

04:47 See, this inflationary spiral I think gets worse where the war with Iran, oil prices go up, they raise interest rates, puts us into a recession. The only way to pay for the deficits is to print more money. My word, Alex, this is like the worst of all possible scenarios, right? And so it's almost like all the globalists, the international, the IMF, the G7 nations, The international bankers, all of them are almost in cahoots, it feels like, against Trump to make his policies not succeed. And- There's no doubt. And so let's stop here and elaborate. You always like to be conservative and say it looks like no, it's 100%.

CHAPTER 03 / 4 Discussion

Federal Reserve Sabotage and Middle East Escalation

The Federal Reserve, allegedly controlled by European banking interests since 1913, is accused of lowering interest rates for the EU while maintaining them for the U.S. to sabotage domestic growth. Critics argue that Benjamin Netanyahu and globalist entities are manipulating the U.S. into a full-scale attack on Iranian nuclear sites. This escalation is predicted to begin between Thursday night and Friday morning, potentially collapsing American sovereignty.

05:32 The private Federal Reserve is owned 80 plus percent and the only audit they had when it was created in 1913 by the Rothschilds and European banks. Jerome Powell sits on the private board of it, he's part of the other boards as well. We've seen him testify to Congress and Bernanke and others. They want to tell Congress where the trillions go. We just give it to these foreign banks, to our shareholders. They have lowered interest rates for the EU. Other countries have lowered interest rates, but they won't do it for us to sabotage his recovery. Then they manipulate him into joining this war pushing Iran into blocking the straight-forward moves, which they say they're getting ready to do. That bare minimum, 130 is conservative, probably higher. That will cause massive inflation.

06:11 And that will accelerate the recession we were already in into a depression and derail everything he was trying to do. And you would think Trump is sophisticated enough that Howard Ludden and others would be explaining this to him. And this morning, he's like, well, we're not gonna have a long war. We're just gonna take out their nuclear sites. Those are already taken out supposedly, okay? Other than the bunker buster they gotta use. And then they'll attack our bases. And then that draws us into a full-scale attack, guaranteed to happen. I think it's gonna start Thursday night into Friday morning. And I hate the fact we're almost always right, folks.

06:49 And then I'm watching our recovery and his success and American sovereignty burn down and the globalist bankers that had us maneuvered and Moody's didn't lower our credit rating on the course to collapse for sure, but as soon as he turns course and it's winning and everybody's lining up behind us, we're winning the trade war and he's getting a lot of political agreements through it as well and American soft power is back. Here comes the globalists to grab victory from the jaws of defeat and make us a debtor nation under their hegemonic control. And there's Benjamin Netanyahu laughing the entire time. Is that what you're saying, Dr. Elliott? Exactly. Couldn't have said it any better myself. I mean, it's awful, right?

07:28 Right, and so to me, when you look at this, okay, these are the accelerants that are causing the economy to decline, gold and silver to go up, and every asset basically that's a tangible thing. Oil- And that's the only silver lining is we know what's going on, we've been accurate. Yeah. You gotta make lemonade out of lemons, that's why you're gonna get into gold and silver right now.

CHAPTER 04 / 4 Discussion

Tangible Assets and Gold Investment Strategy

Economic decline and geopolitical instability are identified as primary accelerants for the rising value of gold, silver, and other tangible assets. Investors are encouraged to move into precious metals as a defensive measure against the predicted recession. This shift toward hard assets is presented as the only viable way to protect wealth during the anticipated period of high inflation and market volatility.
