26 Jan 2026
Chapter 1: What is the petrodollar system and why is it important?
if people want their oil if they want opex oil they have to pay us in dollars which means every country in the world from france to japan to zimbabwe needs to send us their to get our dollars so they can buy oil and then the saudis they're gonna stay rich on it but they also reinvest that money into american t-bonds so it's basically a cycle that flushes itself if america can't get oil priced in dollars your standard of living is gonna collapse your kids standard of living is gonna collapse
Chapter 2: How does aggressive leadership impact global power dynamics?
And all these liberals out here who are talking about, yo, we can't do this, we can't do this. Do you want your grandkids to have the same privileges as you do?
Chapter 3: What historical events shaped the current monetary system?
The same privilege as being an American citizen as you do right now? If you do, shut the up because this is what it takes to be a superpower. And if you don't like it, leave.
Alright, he is back on the show. Appearance number 12, I believe. Let's go.
Chapter 4: How do numerology and astrology relate to economic predictions?
Damn, number 12, huh?
Number 12.
Been a while. Yeah. I think we had at least like a quarter million in views together.
A lot of views.
Quarter million.
Yeah, it's definitely going to get there. Anyways, it's 2026 and one thing you've already noticed, it's like what, January 10th? Sorry, 10 days into the year. But one thing you have noticed, that one energy is supreme this year. Two, zero, two, six, adds up to ten, reduces down to one. One is aggressive energy. Donald Trump just went to Venezuela and snatched that motherfucker.
That is aggressive energy. Donald Trump is boarding Russian ships, boarding Venezuelan ships, talking about, yo, we're going into Greenland. Yo, we're going to do this, this. This is exactly what you expect in a one year. And let me just say this.

Chapter 5: What predictions are made about the crypto market in 2026?
Bravo to my president. I don't give a damn what you mentally deranged liberals think, man. Donald Trump is doing exactly what he should do. We've had nothing but weak leadership in this country for decades. Decades. And finally, we have a president who comes in power, whether you like him or not, and does exactly what he said he was going to do. He's cleaning shit up. And quite frankly...
You know, Sean, I do have a problem with people who live in America and then start criticizing what America has to do to stay a superpower. You, if you're an American, even if you're a poor American, you're privileged compared to the rest of the world. A lot of people would say there's racial inequality in America. 1.8 million black Americans are millionaires.
Chapter 6: How will AI disrupt the job market in the coming years?
Only 100,000 outside of America. So we don't need to talk that racial equality shit. No country is more colorblind than the United States of America. But my issue is this. People live in this country. They raise their kids in this country. They enjoy the benefits of living in a superpower. And then they bitch everywhere. at the president for doing what he has to do to keep America's superpower.
Yes, Venezuela's an oil grab. 100% it's an oil grab. But what you need to ask yourself is this.
Chapter 7: What strategies should individuals adopt to prepare for economic changes?
If we don't take it, the Chinese, the Russians, the Cubans will. So my question to you, all the people out there who are saying, yo, we don't want to do this. We're stealing. Okay, fine. If we don't do it, they will. And if they do it, that weakens our position in the world. So let me make this clear. America is empire. That's what Donald Trump is building right now. Absolute empire.
And I applaud him. Because if you remember, remember I talked about something called the North American Union a couple years ago with you? Yeah. And now it's coming into fruition. So what people need to understand is Venezuela is ours. Greenland is ours. Canada is ours. It's that simple.
Chapter 8: What role does geopolitics play in America's future as a superpower?
It doesn't matter what you like. It doesn't matter what your feelings are. It's going to happen because we are living in a new world order. The old world order is coming to an end. In 1944, right as America was winning World War II, they had something called Bretton Woods. And that basically cemented the American dollar as the world reserve currency.
In 1971, they switched to something called the petrodollar. Most people don't know what petrodollars are. And quite frankly, if you don't know what it is, you're not qualified to talk politics. Shut the hell up and go back to the kitchen. It's honestly that simple. The petrodollar is what gives American currency money.
So let me just go through the system here because I understand some people don't know what this means. The Fed prints money. And yes, they're economic terrorists, but they keep America on top. So it is what it is. They print money. They loan it to the government. The government goes out there, spends money. But here's the trick.
Every country in the world needs those petrodollars to buy oil because the Saudi regime, which is best friends with us, long live the Saudi crown prince, They flush those petrol dollars for us.
What that basically means is if people want their oil, if they want OPEC's oil, they have to pay us in dollars, which means every country in the world from France to Japan to Zimbabwe needs to send us their shit to get our dollars so they can buy oil. And then the Saudis. They stay rich on it, but they also reinvest that money into American T-bills, T-bonds.
So it's basically a cycle that flushes itself. If America can't get oil priced in dollars, your standard of living is going to collapse. Your kids' standard of living is going to collapse. And all these liberals out here who are talking about, yo, we can't do this, we can't do this. Do you want your grandkids to have the same privileges as you do?
the same privilege as being an American citizen as you do right now? If you do, shut the fuck up. Because this is what it takes to be a superpower. And if you don't like it, leave. It's that simple. 27 BC is one of the most consequential years in human history. That is when Rome transferred from being a republic to To an empire.
And what you're witnessing right now is the start of it with the United States of America. For the United States to stay on top, we need to cut all this democracy, all this republic nonsense. We have too many people who think there's 30 fucking genders. We have too many people who think, yo, liberalism and socialism and communism is a good idea. These people don't need to be voting.
And quite frankly, a lot of them are women. I don't care if that hurts your feelings. The truth is the truth. So America is going to do what America has to do. And anyone who has an issue with it, do something. Oh, I'm sorry. Europe doesn't have an army to do anything about it. Whoops. Who's going to do something about it?
