Here’s the actual video of Paul Volcker's speech to the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research:

Paul Volcker's speech to the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research

"I come now to the heart of the problem, as a Nation we are consuming and investing, that is spending, about 6% more than we are producing. What holds it all together? - High consumption - high leverage - government deficits - What holds it all together is a really massive and growing flow of capital from abroad. A flow of capital that today runs to more than $2 Billion per day."
