If we lose the petrodollar, the standard of living for the average American is going to drop by 80%.

We do not export nearly enough to maintain the level of luxury we have.

However, we are the world police.

It's effectively what we do export, whether you agree with it or not.

So I said this back in 2016 with Trump and Hillary and the message Trump had, the message Hillary had.

Hillary Clinton was asked about a no-fly zone in Syria, which she advocated for, and was told explicitly that that would be a declaration of war with Russia.

Russia has a naval base in Tartus.

They have jets.

They have planes.

If we said no one can fly anymore, we're declaring war on Russia.

And she said, you didn't care.

And I said, listen to my friends.

Do you like your dollar slice?

Do you like your dollar slice of the free pop?

That's because we are the global hegemony.

We are the unipolar power.

We can make all these countries do what we want.

Saddam Hussein wants to trade oil and euro.

Boom, he's dead.

Muammar Gaddafi wants to trade oil and gold.
