"This war is not just about revenge for whatever happened on October 7, which increasingly looks like something that was allowed to happen by the Israelis. This is really about establishing Jewish supremacy (emphasis added) across the entire region . . . .They want to view Israel as a beachhead for power and influence that we can exert. We can use Israel to extend our own power and influence. The Israelis, of course, they see this as an exercise in reciprocity because our military power exists to eliminate, in their minds, anyone who challenges them . . .
"All of this is bad news over the long haul because it's causing everyone in the Islamic world to recognize, number one, we're all at risk. In other words, all of us are potential opponents, adversaries, enemies of Israel, that could be targeted for destruction. And the United States is now effectively in military terms, diplomatic terms, strategic terms, a vassal of Greater Israel (emphasis added) that we exist to do whatever it is that the Israeli government and people and their advocates at home, principally the Zionist billionaires, want us to do. And capturing control of Congress and the White House financially is a stroke of genius because people rapidly become accustomed, they develop an appetite for money, and what money can do for them.
"And this Israeli money, we call it Israeli, it's not, it's American money, from Zionist billionaires that support Israel. It's now seen as something that nobody really wants to live without. Because they also know that if you contradict them, in terms of policy towards Israel, there's a very high probability they will not only stop supporting you, they will support whomever your future opponent is. So it's a, it's a very dangerous situation. And I think we have to admit that President Trump would probably not be in the White House today without the substantial financial support of these Zionist billionaires. . ..
"There's something else that we shouldn't lose sight of. I think the Democrats are also on the same team when it comes to Israel, let there be no mistake about it. But I think everybody in Washington is sort of ignoring what most Americans think or want, because most Americans I don't think are paying a lot of attention to what's happening in the Middle East . . . Americans are not looking at this as something that could become a serious threat to them, their way of life and so forth, and they're wrong (emphasis in original).
"Iran is not just another backward Middle Eastern country that has no chance, whatsoever, of fighting effectively against us. They do. They are certainly not in the same category of military power as we are. They're several rungs below that, But they can defend themselves and they will fight . . . .
"I think it would be a mistake to assume that after a few days, a week, or two weeks the Iranians are going to hoist the white flag and surrender. I don't think that's going to happen. And so then the question is, 'What happens to us economically?'
"Because inevitably, this is going to disrupt traffic through the Straits of Hormuz. And that traffic is not only going to disrupt the flow of oil to China, it's going to disrupt the flow of oil to Japan, to Vietnam, to all of the countries in Asia, to people in Europe, even to us. And it's going to send the price of oil through the roof. I would expect the price to rise somewhere north of $100 a barrel. Easily. That's going to have a big impact here at home.
"We haven't even talked about the fragility of our finance system. You know, we're piling up debt at a horrendous rate. And there's a real danger that - financially we could collapse . . . We could actually face an internal financial crisis far, far, worse than anything we saw in 2008. And this time I would not expect any bailouts."
