1 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: This is America's Trucking Network with Kevin Gordon. 2 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 2: Welcome aboard, Thanks for tuning in on this Friday morning. 3 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what for a week that is kind 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 2: of the news has come in kind of normally. It's 5 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: not like there's been a big spike or anything. But 6 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 2: i'll tell you what. Thursday afternoon and doing show prep, 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: there has just been an avalanche of information. I'm going 8 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 2: to try to get to as much of it as 9 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: I can. 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 3: First of all, I want to start off with a 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 3: little bit of a weather alert. 12 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 2: We got Hurricane Melissa reorganizing and expected to begin intensifying soon. 13 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 2: Heavy rains and life threatening flooding expected for portions of 14 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: Hispaniola and Jamaica through the weekend. Again, as I mentioned yesterday, 15 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: it appears as though that this is hanging down in 16 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 2: the lower part of the Caribbean Sea thereabout, and so 17 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 2: if you've got travel plans going down there, those are 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: in jeopardy pretty much. 19 00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: Pretty much. 20 00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: Addition to Jamaica, Melissa will produce heavy rainfall across portions 21 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 2: of southern Dominican Republic southern Haiti. Now right now they're 22 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: not quite sure where this is heading, but the trajectory 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 2: of this. Originally it looked like it was going to 24 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: head north up to Cuba, but it looks like it 25 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 2: has taken or is taking a left turn and heading 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 2: towards that Yucatan Peninsula. I believe it is. They're off 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: in Mexico, so we'll keep an eye on that. It's 28 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 2: not supposed to be it's going to be. It's a 29 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 2: slow moving storm, and it's a slow moving hurricane, which 30 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: means that possibly through the weekend and going to be 31 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 2: heavy rain down there, but then eventually move off and 32 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: move slowly over towards Mexico later on or first part 33 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 2: of next week. So this is a very slow moving storm, 34 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 2: but we're keeping an eye on it because again, down 35 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: in the Gulf, we have the Gulf of America, we 36 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: have a lot of oil platforms, we have a lot 37 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: of drilling rigs down there, and also on the coast 38 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: of the coast of Texas, there's a lot of oil 39 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: refineries that could possibly be affected by any type of storm, 40 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 2: surge or winds, et cetera off of this storm. So 41 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: kind of keep an eye on that. Oil has been 42 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: going crazy. We'll get to that oil actually went up 43 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: five percent and we'll get to that information a little 44 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: bit later. I mentioned at the beginning of the week 45 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: that I wanted to get into this whole discussion about 46 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: illegal immigrant immigration having to do with the trucking industry. 47 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: We had that, you know, the English language proficiency requirement reinforced. Now, 48 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 2: I mean back had always been part of the Federal 49 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: Motor Carrier Safety Administration guidebook in terms of being able 50 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 2: to speak the English language, be proficient, and to understand 51 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: road signs. And of course that came into the forefront 52 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 2: back in back in August with that tragic accident down 53 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 2: there in Florida, and again last night yesterday afternoon, we 54 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: had another tragic accident with a foreign driver and so on. 55 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 2: But again we were going to talk about the English 56 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 2: language proficiency as well as non domiciled CDLs, and I 57 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 2: kind of put that off because I've been in contact 58 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 2: with the folks from o Iida, and I wanted to 59 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 2: get their expertise on that any questions that I had, 60 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: I wanted to make sure that I'm filling in the 61 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: gaps with their perception because quite honestly, they have been 62 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: on this for a number of years. This has been 63 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: a hot topic down mid America Trucking Show last year 64 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 2: as well as this past you know, in the past spring, 65 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 2: the spring of this year, and this whole idea that 66 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: issued these licenses will be issued to people that don't 67 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: have English language preferences. And this was suspended during the 68 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 2: Obama administration back in twenty sixteen, should have been re 69 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: implemented in during the Trump administration, the first Trump administration. However, 70 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 2: with everything going on in terms of the Russia, Russia, 71 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: Russia and so on, there were so many other things 72 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 2: that this kind of I guess slipped under the carpet. 73 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: But in the spring, the Trump administration said and been 74 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 2: talking to o AIDA and the different transportation organizations. They 75 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: put through this mandate executive order. I think it was well, 76 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: it was in late April from the President that they 77 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: were going to now start enforcing the English language preferences. 78 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 2: Sean Duffy at the time A couple weeks later did 79 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: a mandate himself and issued some guidelines as to what 80 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 2: had to be done and set as a date June 81 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: twenty fifth for all states to be in compliance with 82 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: that and to review their various licensing to make sure 83 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 2: that all of those licenses were in accordance with the 84 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: regulations and were up to the guidelines and the standards 85 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 2: that should have been enforced back as far as twenty 86 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: sixteen before the Obama administration decided to throw those out 87 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: the window and flooded the area with more illegal immigrants 88 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: as well as in the trucking industry itself. So this 89 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: mandate was put out and the deadline was the twenty fifth. 90 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: Now you may recall this hard Genders sing who in 91 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,559 Speaker 2: August caused this accident doing an illegal U turn down 92 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 2: in Florida, causing an accident killing three family members. He 93 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 2: had been stopped in July, the July twenty third, actually 94 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 2: in New Mexico and had the guidelines that were deadline 95 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: as of June the twenty June twenty fifth. If New 96 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 2: Mexico had been complying with that, he would have been 97 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 2: placed out of service because the body can information from 98 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 2: that traffic stop showed that he couldn't recognize any signs, 99 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 2: he couldn't speak English. And how a state like California 100 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: and Washington, as we found out that that's where he 101 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 2: got his seat. He got a CDO license in Washington 102 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 2: as well as in California. How he was able to 103 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 2: pass any of those exams and be out on the 104 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: road is a mystery. It's criminal in my opinion, that 105 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: a state agency would do that. So in the process 106 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: of this, they went through all of these regulations. They 107 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: also started identifying the different states that were not in compliance, 108 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 2: sent letters to them that they had a date certain 109 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: to comply, and they wanted to have them updated in 110 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: terms of when things were going to be in compliance 111 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: before they started leving any fines. Now, California and hopefully 112 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 2: we can get to that a little bit later, has 113 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 2: been defiant on this and said we've got no problems 114 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 2: here is we are fully in compliance with federal regulations. 115 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: Well they aren't, and the federal government, Sean Duffy, has 116 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: withheld forty million, at least forty million dollars initially in 117 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: terms of federal funds going into the state of California. 118 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 2: And as I mentioned yesterday in California, Ontario, California, an 119 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 2: illegal alien. 120 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 3: Twenty one years old, and let's go through this. 121 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 2: Twenty one year old illegal immigrant from India who crossed 122 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: the border in twenty twenty two and was released by 123 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: the Biden administration is now accused of causing a fiery 124 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: semi truck crash that killed three people in southern California, 125 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 2: multiple federal law enforcement sources tell Fox News. According to 126 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: the federal sources, the suspect, identified as Jash and Preach Singh, 127 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: was first encountered by borne patrol agents in California El 128 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 2: Centro sector in March of twenty twenty two and released 129 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 2: into the interior of the country pending an immigration hearing. 130 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 2: Saying has now been a restaurant suspicion of gross vehicular 131 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:21,119 Speaker 2: or manslaughter while intoxicated after plowing his rig into slow 132 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: moving traffic on the Iten Freeway in San Bernardino, California. 133 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: This video, I don't know if you've seen it, but 134 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: has been caught on dash camp.

And as I mentioned in 208 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: the previous segment, this traffic or this dashboard cam watching 209 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 2: this accident unfold is just absolutely horrific. I mean, it's 210 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 2: almost like something out of some crazy movie or something. 211 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: And the fact that they do this mugshot of this 212 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 2: and he has no expression on his face whatsoever, And 213 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: the fact that they don't even mention whether or not 214 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 2: he was held a CDO license just unbelievable. And again, 215 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 2: having come into the country in twenty twenty two, three 216 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: years ago, three years ago and caught and released pending 217 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 2: immigration hearing, and in the meantime in California, he's able 218 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 2: to get a CDO license and get out on the highway. 219 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 2: That is just unbelievable. Crash comes after Trump administration announced 220 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 2: that it would withhold over forty million dollars in federal 221 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 2: highway safety funds from California because of the state's failure 222 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 2: to meet federal English language proficiency requirements for truck drivers. 223 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,960 Speaker 2: In August, the US government temporarily suspended the issuance of 224 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 2: worker visas for commercial truck drivers. The state department spokesperson 225 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: said the PAW was implemented to allow for the comprehensive 226 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: review of the screening and vetting procedures used to assess applicants. 227 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: Applications for US visa. Now this again, I can't emphasize 228 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 2: enough this dashboard, can This guy didn't even apply the brakes. 229 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 2: There was no slow down whatsoever. He's already speeding. He's 230 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: coming up on traffic that is at a dead stop 231 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: and just continues to go. This guy had to be 232 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: so drunk that it wasn't even I don't know what 233 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 2: his blood alcohol level was, but I can't imagine somebody 234 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 2: not being able to control a vehicle with that and 235 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: not even break for crying out loud. Now, no surprise here, 236 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 2: but CBS News, okay, they cover this story. Semi truck 237 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: driver who was arrested for driving under the influence following 238 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 2: a deadly crash and freeway on Ontario on Tuesday, was 239 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 2: in the United States illegally, according to the officials from 240 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 2: a Department of Homeland Security. They told CBS News that 241 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: twenty one year old Jishan josh An pre Singh is 242 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 2: an Indian national who entered the country by crossing Mexico border. 243 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,479 Speaker 2: They go through all his details, he was arrested. 244 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 3: And so on. 245 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 2: CBS Sacramento reporters spoke with Singh's best friend, Jirgad Malhar 246 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 2: on Wednesday evening. He told them that Singh came to 247 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 2: the US in search of a better life. He's an 248 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: amazing guy. He would talk normally, happily, always with love 249 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 2: and care. Malhar said, coming from India, it's going to 250 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: be hard to make dollars here, so he wanted to 251 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: keep on going. It's unclear as Singh currently has legal representation. 252 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: Of course, they're worried about whether he's got legal representation 253 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 2: or not. They're not even focusing on the three people 254 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: who died as a result of him being intoxicated, and 255 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 2: they don't even bother getting into the fact as to 256 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 2: whether or not he even has a CDO license or not. This, 257 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 2: to me is a situation where are spoon fed regurgitators 258 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: in the mainstream media just cannot help help themselves by 259 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: trying to put some sort of a halo around some 260 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 2: of these illegal immigrants, saying that. 261 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 3: They're here merely for a better life. 262 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 2: Well, you know, if you're going to have a better life, 263 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 2: do things properly, get the proper credentials, learn the English language, 264 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 2: find out what you need to do, and go on 265 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: from there. I mentioned this a couple of times. When 266 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: you dig into the immigration laws in other countries, and 267 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 2: how difficult it is to get into those countries and 268 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: to actually work in those countries without having the proper credentials. 269 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 3: It is almost impossible. 270 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 2: I mentioned the fact that family member of ours went 271 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 2: to a different country with her husband, the hoops they 272 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 2: had to jump through in order to prove that not 273 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 2: only were they married, the fact that almost a DNA 274 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: sample I guess of the two kids that they have together, 275 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: their two children, proving that they were in fact his 276 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 2: and before she was able to come into the country, 277 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 2: he was a legal citizen, so he had dual citizenship 278 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 2: in that country and in the United States, she had 279 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 2: to prove to the country that she had a job. 280 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: The employer had to tell them that, yes, she has 281 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: a job.

If you missed any part of our show 401 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 2: or at any of our other shows, make sure you 402 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,920 Speaker 2: hit up that iHeartRadio app of course, that's brought to 403 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 2: you by Rush Truck Centers. 404 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 3: And we certainly appreciate that tip. 405 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 2: Of the hat because again I've talked about this non 406 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 2: domicile English English language proficiency requirement from FMCSA as far 407 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: as being able to obtain, to obtain and continue a 408 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 2: CDL license. We have seen stories over the last couple 409 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 2: of the last several months of where there are these 410 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 2: illegal licensing companies, people that are issuing these licenses, People 411 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: at the DMV or at the state level, have been 412 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 2: bribed and paid off in order to allow these CDLs 413 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 2: to be issued. They have to you know, normally, and 414 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 2: the even the business guys that are the truckers out there, 415 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 2: you know this. But as far as the general driving 416 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 2: public that listen to this program, and that's a large 417 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,959 Speaker 2: chunk of our audience, you not only have to go 418 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,239 Speaker 2: to a course and prove that you can do a 419 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: written exam, then you have to do the safety feature 420 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 2: of that, and you actually have to pass a road test. 421 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 2: And in instances these things have been forged. There have 422 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 2: been counterfeit drivers' licenses that have been issued, and there 423 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 2: are illegal or less than well nefarious I guess you said, 424 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 2: say very nefarious. Actually driving schools that miraculously one hundred 425 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 2: percent of the people that pay the fee graduate and 426 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 2: then those numbers are falsified apparently, and then they have 427 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: a connection with the DMV and they get these licenses issued. Now, 428 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 2: how does somebody how do you put somebody behind the 429 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 2: wheel of an eighty thousand pound vehicle eighty thousand pounds 430 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 2: that requires significant skills in order to learning how to 431 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 2: not only drive that, I mean, it's one thing to 432 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 2: drive it in a straight line. But it's also you 433 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: have to know how far it takes you to stop. 434 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 2: I mean, if you've ever driven a truck that's hauling something, 435 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 2: a pickup truck or a trailer, you know that the 436 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 2: stopping distance on that is a lot lot longer than 437 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 2: if you're driving in a normal sedan or an suv. 438 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 2: You can hit the brakes pretty quick and come to 439 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 2: a stop. But the time it takes for a even 440 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 2: a pickup truck hauling something that has a load on 441 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: it to be able to stop then, I mean not 442 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 2: only the distance is required in order to stop, but 443 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: the turning radius. 444 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 3: It's not like you pull into a you pull up. 445 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 2: To an intersection with like a car and turn. There 446 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 2: is a skill set in order to turn an eighteen 447 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 2: wheeler into a lane if you're making a right turn, 448 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 2: left turn, et cetera. Not to mention how difficult it 449 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,479 Speaker 2: is to back up one of those big rigs in 450 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 2: order to get it into a parking space or to 451 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 2: the delivery portion that doc at wherever you're doing the delivery, 452 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 2: and the necessary skills for that. The road tests the 453 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 2: schools for these CDO licenses are a six week test 454 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 2: and they get out on the road and get real 455 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:18,199 Speaker 2: real world experience on this, and when they're done with that, 456 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,359 Speaker 2: they know the rules of the road. They can take 457 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 2: the test, the written test, then they can do the 458 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 2: safety exam, and then they can go out and prove their. 459 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 3: Road skills in order to get a CDO license. 460 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 2: Now, how would anybody in their right mind allow somebody? 461 00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 2: I mean that's almost like it would almost be like 462 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 2: handing a toddler a loaded gun and say, go out 463 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 2: in the yard and play with it. Eighty thousand pound 464 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 2: vehicle traveling down the highway at sixty seventy miles an 465 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 2: hour in certain instances, this is like a missile going 466 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 2: down the road. How somebody can sleep at night knowing 467 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: that they have issued driver's licenses to people CDL licenses 468 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 2: to people that can't handle a rig and putting the 469 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 2: driving public in jeopardy. And then to have states like 470 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 2: California that say, ah, you know, English language preferences, No 471 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 2: big deal, we don't have to we don't even have 472 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 2: to comply with that. You know, we've been issuing these 473 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 2: and we're in compliance with the fil may maybe in 474 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 2: compliance with what the federal government wasn't enforcing because back 475 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 2: in twenty sixteen when they stopped enforcing that law, maybe 476 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 2: they're in compliance with that, but in terms of the 477 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 2: regulations that are stipulated by the FMCSA, they are not 478 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 2: in compliance with that. And a tip of the hat 479 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,800 Speaker 2: to Overdrive magazine because they came out with an article 480 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: back in July and it was updated in August the 481 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 2: twenty fourth. After that our genders sing caused that accident 482 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 2: down in Florida and killed those three people doing that 483 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 2: illegal U turn.

Thirty two 493 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 2: states offered data on non domiciled CDL issuances and trends 494 00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: seven states definitely don't issue non domiciled CDLs, Eleven states 495 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 2: do issue non domicilt CDLs, but don't track the volume 496 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 2: of licenses issued. Looking back over ten years, the trend 497 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 2: shows an increasing number of don domiciled CDLs, likewise their 498 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,920 Speaker 2: share of total CDLs issued. Now, what else they found 499 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 2: in this and with the review that was done then 500 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 2: issued by the Transportation Department under Sean Duffy, with this 501 00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 2: mandate that was supposed to be complied with by June 502 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: twenty fifth, they wanted to know whether or not what 503 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 2: where these how many were issued, if they were issued properly, 504 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 2: and whether or not they have in place the different 505 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 2: checks and balances to make. 506 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 3: Sure that these are legally issued. 507 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 2: What they were finding is that and we had this 508 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 2: story a couple of weeks ago too, and I want 509 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of that with Ida Oeida 510 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 2: as to where these you know, had that story about 511 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: own name licenses being issued, and the explanation on that 512 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: was that so called certain cultures only have mononym in 513 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: terms of names, so people are only known by one name, 514 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: which is kind of crazy because just about every time 515 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 2: you see somebody being arrested from whatever country and when 516 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 2: you're talking about foreign dignitaries, none of them have just 517 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,480 Speaker 2: one name. So where this comes from, I have no clue. 518 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 2: And what people were making a note of is that 519 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 2: on the license in the spot where you know, they 520 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 2: have the last name listed, but as far as the 521 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 2: first name, it says no name given. Now it is 522 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 2: possible that if somebody only has one name, that yes, 523 00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 2: possibly they could get a driver's license if they proved everything. 524 00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 2: But what they were finding under these investigations, and there's 525 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: some of these issued that people were issued see which 526 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 2: are in the country not only their non domicile they're 527 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 2: not even legal citizens, or not even have a work permit. 528 00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: In some cases their work permit had expired months and 529 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 2: years before their license was issued. Some were issued in 530 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 2: between when they were illegal or had legal status, and 531 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 2: then the CDL license was issued not to expire when 532 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,960 Speaker 2: their work permit ended, but like four years later so 533 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 2: they could get the license issued their work permit ends, 534 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 2: and then for three and a half years be driving. 535 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 3: With a CDL. Just absolutely in absolute insanity. 536 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,320 Speaker 2: With the number of people looking for work out there 537 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 2: in the trucking industry, this has created some problems because 538 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 2: I have been hearing forever from you know, we keep 539 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 2: hearing all these things about a driver shortage when inc 540 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,960 Speaker 2: there is really no driver shortage. There is a lot 541 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:08,720 Speaker 2: of people that are unqualified that are getting these jobs, 542 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 2: that are taking jobs away from qualified drivers, and that 543 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 2: is what is creating a lot of the problems in 544 00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 2: the trucking industry. At this point, we'll pick this up 545 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,240 Speaker 2: a little bit more.

And again want 574 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,359 Speaker 2: to reiterate the fact that back in April, Trump did 575 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 2: an executive orders saying that this needed to be tightened up, 576 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 2: that they were no longer going to be issuing CDLs 577 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:03,239 Speaker 2: or permits of being able to drive vehicles back in 578 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 2: eighteen wheelers. Back in April, there was an executive order 579 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 2: on May the twenties, Sean Duffy announced guidelines that were 580 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 2: going to be inforced and the deadline for states to 581 00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 2: comply with that was June twenty fifth July twenty third, 582 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 2: that har Gender Singh, who caused that accident down in 583 00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,439 Speaker 2: Florida that killed three people, was pulled over in New 584 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 2: Mexico on July the twenty third, which was after that 585 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,839 Speaker 2: June twenty fifth deadline, and he was talked to. The 586 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 2: body cam indicates that he couldn't pass the English language proficiency, 587 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:43,200 Speaker 2: that he couldn't identify road signs, and he should have 588 00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,440 Speaker 2: been pulled off the road at that point, but was 589 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 2: only issued a ticket and sent on his way. Then 590 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:50,440 Speaker 2: less than a month later, a little bit a little 591 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,240 Speaker 2: over less than a month later, on August the twelfth, 592 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 2: caused that horrific accident down in Florida that actually killed 593 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 2: three people. And when they pulled aside and ask him, 594 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,320 Speaker 2: couldn't speak English, could only identify two out of twelve 595 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,359 Speaker 2: road signs. Now, how any hell do you drive an 596 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,560 Speaker 2: eighteen wheeler where you're supposed to go from point A 597 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 2: to point B and whatever and not be able to 598 00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 2: read road signs, what exit to take, when to take it, 599 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:21,319 Speaker 2: how to take it? 600 00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 3: How do you do that? 601 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 2: And especially you're talking again, I can't emphasize enough an 602 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 2: eighty thousand pound vehicle and whether or not some of 603 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,040 Speaker 2: these people actually got the driving skills, whether they actually 604 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 2: passed the test, or if they were issued a fraudulent 605 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 2: CDO license. What companies are hiring these people, who in 606 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,760 Speaker 2: their right mind would allow these people out on the highway. 607 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,040 Speaker 2: Back in October it was the resist, well, actually back 608 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 2: in October. 609 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 3: Here in October. 610 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,640 Speaker 2: On October the sixteenth, they gave a result of states 611 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 2: targeted by DOT respond to non domiciled CDL. US Department 612 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 2: of Transportation order all states to stop issuing non domicile 613 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 2: commercial driver's license after an audit found rule violations in 614 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 2: six states. California, Colorado, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington 615 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 2: have suspended related licensing and are reviewing procedures to comply 616 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,720 Speaker 2: with new federal standards, even though California has taken basically 617 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,320 Speaker 2: a step back of that and is slow walking that 618 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,000 Speaker 2: six states singled out of the Department of Transportation for 619 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 2: failing to follow federal rules. Now, South Dakota was one 620 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 2: of the first ones to acknowledge that it identified issues, 621 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,879 Speaker 2: and the story here goes through Pennsylvania and what Pennsylvania 622 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 2: has done, Colorado, Washington, Texas, I'll post a lot of 623 00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:48,399 Speaker 2: this on my Facebook page over the weekend, because this 624 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 2: is just I can't believe that this has gone on 625 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 2: as long as it's gone on, and these states that 626 00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,640 Speaker 2: when they when you hear about something that is tragic 627 00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 2: accident or something that could have been prevented, you would 628 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 2: think that the common sense would say, do we have 629 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 2: any event in this state? The people in charge the 630 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 2: transportation departments of each state, we are we in compliance 631 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 2: with this? Have we let stuff slip through the cracks? 632 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 2: Because we certainly want to protect the driving public out 633 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,919 Speaker 2: there and make sure that only qualified drivers are out there. 634 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 2: But how April the mandate comes down, the federal executive 635 00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,600 Speaker 2: order came down from Trump. You're talking about April, You're 636 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:40,440 Speaker 2: talking about May, June, July, August, September, and now mostly 637 00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:43,880 Speaker 2: through October. That some of these states still haven't complied. 638 00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 2: It is just absolutely mind boggling to me. That and 639 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:51,920 Speaker 2: then California says, I love this headline. We won't be 640 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 2: able to get to it here, but I'll probably post 641 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 2: it on Facebook or maybe pick it up and talk 642 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 2: about it. On Tuesday, California says English language tests a 643 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,640 Speaker 2: roadside for truck rivers not needed even after they were fined, 644 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 2: or forty million dollars in Transportation Department funds were withheld 645 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,520 Speaker 2: from them. I mean, how nuts are those people out there? 646 00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,280 Speaker 2: And to blame the federal government. That is a heavy 647 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 2: hand of the federal government when you got people dying 648 00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,919 Speaker 2: on your highway and just yesterday three more people died 649 00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 2: as a result of a drunk twenty one year old 650 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:29,320 Speaker 2: foreign national illegal alien driving an eighteen wheeler in drunk 651 00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 2: on top of it, unbelievable.

Now, 675 00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,960 Speaker 2: there's been a lot of talk about there being this 676 00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 2: oversupply of oil that the EIA has been saying that 677 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,880 Speaker 2: we're going to have an oil glut next year.

What I'm seeing 681 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,279 Speaker 2: is that we're going to have a shortage and a 682 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,799 Speaker 2: short supply where we may see these oil prices go 683 00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 2: down for now, but once it's found out that we 684 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,080 Speaker 2: don't have the oil supply that we need, this is 685 00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 2: going to go up. 686 00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:45,920 Speaker 3: Now. 687 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:52,239 Speaker 2: These sanctions on Russia is needed because Russia continues this 688 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,800 Speaker 2: war in Ukraine, and as Donald Trump has pointed out, 689 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,920 Speaker 2: he gets on the phone with Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin says, ye, 690 00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,399 Speaker 2: I'm going to comply. I'm going to do this. We'll 691 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 2: work towards this. They actually talk about the possibility of 692 00:43:06,080 --> 00:43:08,759 Speaker 2: having a meeting. They get off the phone, and he 693 00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:12,560 Speaker 2: escalates the war, starts attacking more cities and more people 694 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,360 Speaker 2: in Ukraine. Then Trump it gets back on the phone 695 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 2: with him and they go back and forth, and Trump 696 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 2: has gotten to the point where he said he is 697 00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,480 Speaker 2: not only frustrated, but poed at Vladimir Putin and said, 698 00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,279 Speaker 2: through these sanctions, we are going to cripple their economy 699 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:33,840 Speaker 2: because as you saw back in twenty twenty, when we 700 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 2: were energy independent for the first time since nineteen forty nine, 701 00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 2: the Russian economy was suffering because we were producing We 702 00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 2: were driving the bus on energy prices. They could not 703 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 2: sell their oil as at a decent price and make 704 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 2: money at it because, as we've talked about before, nobody 705 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 2: drills for oil cheaper, cleaner, or safer than the United States. 706 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 2: Their economy was hurting. Iran's economy was hurting because they 707 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,479 Speaker 2: weren't selling There were sanctions, and they weren't selling enough oil. 708 00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 2: During the Biden administration, all bets were off. Russia started 709 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,200 Speaker 2: making more money with their oil because we were suspending 710 00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:23,239 Speaker 2: and holding back on our oil production. Their profits went up. 711 00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 2: Russia had more money. They built up their army even 712 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,120 Speaker 2: more and said, you know what, instead of making our 713 00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,399 Speaker 2: lives fine for our people and improving their lives, let's 714 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:33,480 Speaker 2: go invade a country. 715 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 3: And so that's what they've done. 716 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,919 Speaker 2: And in order to stop that and pull that back, 717 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 2: Trump has put these additional sanctions on and the European 718 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 2: Union is doing the same. Well, folks, we're up against 719 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 2: clock here. Time for us to scoot out the door. 720 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,560 Speaker 2: Have a great weekend.
