Topic: Oil Market

The host and a Green Beret caller discuss how the war is "tanking the economy" and keeping Donald Trump awake at night. They criticize media figures like Mark Levin and Ben Shapiro for callously suggesting that soldiers "signed up" to die in these operations. The caller warns that U.S. forces will be vulnerable to drone swarms and ballistic missile counterattacks if they attempt to hold ground in Iran.

Oil prices have nearly doubled in 11 days, causing massive global inflation and a stock market downturn. Vladimir Putin has reportedly offered to broker a deal between Trump and Iran to end the war quickly. Meanwhile, Lloyds of London has struggled to provide tanker coverage as Iran continues to demonstrate control over the Gulf shipping lanes.

Jimmy Dore warns that a war with Iran will lead to a global economic crash as Gulf states withdraw hundreds of billions from U.S. markets. The "balkanization" of Iran is described as a catastrophic mistake that will destroy the petrodollar and devalue American retirements. The hosts suggest Trump is in an information bubble, unaware of how unpopular and economically damaging the war has become.

The potential for a stock market crash and the collapse of the U.S. economy is linked to the destabilization of the Gulf States. If oil exports from the Middle East are interrupted, the petro-dollar may fail, leading to a withdrawal of hundreds of billions in AI investments. The balkanization of Iran is viewed as a strategic error that threatens global financial stability.

A caller named Craig discusses the ongoing global wealth transfer and the potential implementation of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) following a market crash. Alex Jones agrees, referencing a recent interview with Hotep Jesus about how the Israel-Palestine conflict serves as a diversion from the financial enslavement of humanity. They discuss the "death cross" in market averages and the manipulation of crude oil prices.

Celente discusses the volatility of the stock market, mentioning the "Plunge Protection Team" used by the Federal Reserve to artificially pump up equity prices. He notes that despite temporary rallies, the market is in a long-term downtrend. He encourages listeners to subscribe to the Trends Journal to understand "history before it happens" and stay ahead of the coming geopolitical and financial shifts.

Celente warns that the freezing of bank accounts belonging to Freedom Convoy donors in Canada is a blueprint for future government control in the U.S. He points to rising oil prices and inflation as signs of an impending economic crash similar to the 2008 panic. The segment urges listeners to "prepare, prevail, and prosper" as the global economy destabilizes due to the war.

A caller asks about "circuit breakers" that might prevent a total stock market crash. Jones explains the role of the "Plunge Protection Team" but argues that any crash would be intentional to usher in a global currency. The caller emphasizes the importance of fasting, prayer, and family as the ultimate forms of preparation.
