But can I? He's Roy Cohn Jr. He's Roy Cohn Jr. That is who he is. If you read books about Roy Cohn, everything Roy Cohn says to do, tracing back to the McCarthy hearings in 54, everything Roy Cohn says to do, that is exactly what Donald Trump does.

No, what I'm saying is MBS, oh, Trump won. MBS owed Trump one. So MBS starts the price war with Russia one year later. And the oil companies come to Donald and say, look, we're getting destroyed. Demand is dropping. They've increased because of this price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia. Saudi Arabia decides to take it to Putin and increases their production significantly.

So in order to keep their revenues up, Russia's got to do the same thing. Meanwhile, all the demand is dropping because of the pandemic. And so Donald gets asked by the oil companies to go to MBS and to Putin and say, we need to stop this price war. We need to reduce production. And to his credit, if you think that's a positive, to Trump's credit, He did it.

And so by reducing production over a plan of two years, and you can go look at the production numbers, right? And when that stopped, by doing that, that increased the price of gas, the price of oil, the price of energy. And that was bad for American consumers who utilized gas, who paid for gas for their cars, really bad for them.

But he decided to work with his oil company buddies and protect them. You can say that's a good decision or bad decision. Maybe it's strategic. He really felt they could go out of business and he wasn't willing to give them money to help them. But the bottom line was that decision that matches up exactly to that 9.1% that David Sachs mentions.

It also matches up to, okay, does he fully support the oil companies over the price of gas? And will that influence what he will do as president again? So when he says, I'll just get out of Ukraine, Depends on who's making the money and where it is. When he says, I'm going to get people to drill, baby, drill. Well, we already learned a lesson.
