So my goal here is not to debate whether Israel has influence over U.S.

foreign policy.

I think that it clearly has massive influence.

But what I do want to figure out is whether that's the variable with the highest predictive validity for what Trump is doing in Iran.

or whether there's a better model.

I think I have something that has higher predictive validity, but I would be very open to seeing that that actually isn't the way and that there's just something I'm missing.

So where I want to start is if someone wanted to predict Trump's next move in the Middle East, what do you think is the most important variable that they should be tracking?

Is it Israel's goals or is it something else?

Okay.

And how do you see the relationship being between the Jewish lobby, which we're probably going to have to take a second to define, but we'll get to that in a minute.

What do you see as a relationship between the Jewish lobby and the military industrial complex?

It's interesting.

So here's why this feels important enough to like really press down the path.

So what you just said as part of it is there's a whole bunch of influences, hard to know which one is the leading one.

That if we just made that statement, I'd be like, I agree wholeheartedly.

You also said that we have economics basically runs the world or money runs the world.

I can't remember what exact word you use, but basically like, hey, money is the real player here.

If you just said that, I would agree totally because that's my punchline is if you want to understand what's happening right now, there's only two things you need to understand.

And that is Trump wants to end up on Mount Rushmore completely unironically, like he wants to be the fifth head carved into Mount Rushmore.

And then he's going to get there by outpacing the inflationary spiral that we're in because nobody, not Republicans, not Democrats, nobody is going to reduce the budget.
