The following is a transcript from Jeff Berwick & Wolf Blitzer In The Situation Room: Taco Tuesday Edition. (Before the satellite feed mysteriously cut to static)

JEFF BERWICK: (Walking through a park in Canada, dodging porta-potties) We’re living through the final days of the Matrix, folks. I see Pete Hegseth is out there reading script-ures again, this time by Coolio. “As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothing left.” That’s the gospel for Hollyweird right now. Coolio starts looking into child trafficking and ‘poof’ he’s gone. Total cohen-cidence, right? Just like everything else. Anyway, it’s Taco Tuesday! Another day of the Great Fold. Big threats on Monday, chicken tacos on Tuesday.

WOLF BLITZER: (Looking visibly frazzled, tie loosened, sweat on his brow) Jeff, I…I’m trying to keep up, but the monitors are literally melting. We have breaking news… mass casualties at India’s Rajasthan refinery. That’s the fourth major oil and gas “incident” in five days. Australia, Pakistan, Russia… Jeff, the energy grid is screaming. What is happening?

JEFF BERWICK: It’s called Agenda 2030, Wolf. I’m surprised you haven’t read the memo; it’s probably sitting right next to your script. That Indian refinery was supposed to be inaugurated by the Crime Minister Modi on April 21st. On April 20th? It goes boom. It’s almost like there’s a plan, but don’t worry, your average “normie” will just call it a “strange coincidence” while they’re standing in line for their fifteenth booster.

WOLF BLITZER: (Voice trembling) Jeff, more coming in. Russia’s Tuapse refinery just got hit by drones. That’s the third one in a week! Russia exports 10% of the world’s oil. If they stop… if the Strait of Hormuz is double-blocked… Jeff, I’m getting another alert… Myanmar! An explosion at the port in Homalin, ten fuel tankers engulfed!

JEFF BERWICK: (Grinning) You okay, Wolf? You’re looking a bit ‘clotty’ there. It’s a civilization-level infrastructure war, hiding behind the word ‘accident’. Ten refineries in 21 days on four continents. Zero suspects. Zero investigations. Just ‘accidents’. Meanwhile, insurance companies are quietly rewriting their ‘refinery tax exclusion’ clauses. They know the ship is sinking. They’re just waiting for the band to stop playing.

WOLF BLITZER: (Clutching his chest) Bucharest… Jeff… a thermal power plant in Bucharest just exploded… 30 tons of fuel ignited… and Texas? A massive oil rig near Etoile… it’s all… burning…

JEFF BERWICK: And you’ll never see it on CNN, but luckily we’ve got Wolf on a walk ‘n talk contract. See, this is how they do it. Destroy the energy, stop the travel, kill the fertilizer, and billions of people just… fade away. Kazakhstan just banned exports. Europe has five weeks of jet fuel left. Pretty soon, the only way the “slaves” will travel is via an Oculus headset from their couch while they eat bug burgers.

WOLF BLITZER: (Gasps, eyes bulging) Jeff… my heart… it feels like… a cohen-cidence…

JEFF BERWICK: (Checking his watch) Oh, look at that. Wolf just died of a sudden heart attack. Probably those safe and effective blood clots. Rest in peace, buddy. You served the Matrix well.

Speaking of heart attacks… 

Scott Bessent is out there telling everyone Americans “feel good in their hearts.” I guess your heart feels great while your wallet is being incinerated. For the first time in history, over 50% of Americans believe their financial situation is worse today than a year ago. That’s higher than the 1970s stagflation and the 2008 crisis combined.

The feeling in people's hearts is actually just the early onset of a world of pain. Gas and food prices are set to double or triple. And meanwhile, Tru
