In this explosive episode, Gary the Numbers Guy breaks down the petrodollar system, explaining why oil priced in U.S. dollars underpins America’s global leverage—and why he believes losing that system would trigger a massive decline in living standards.

Gary also delivers his numerology and astrology predictions for 2026, bold calls on a crypto crash, a potential stock market crash in 2027, and a warning about AI replacing jobs faster than most people expect.
