I'm doing pretty well, hoping, hoping that we get 12 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 2: this conflict over with in a victorious way in Iran 13 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: so we can get back to three dollars gallon gasoline. 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: But I'm doing pretty good about I think we're going 15 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: to see a change in direction in the economy back 16 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: toward the prosperity we had in Trump's first year. And 17 00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: that just means, you know, we're going to see gas 18 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: prices fall again and we'll bring inflation down. So that's 19 00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: that's my read on things. 20 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, Now let me ask you a question. If the 21 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: price of oil goes up, Democrats yelling, scream that this 22 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: the price of oil going on, worst thing you could 23 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: do to people. It's crushing them, it's kicking Yet at 24 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: the same time, they have done everything they can to 25 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: raise the price of your elected exactly. 26 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: Isn't that the truth? So they you know, they want 27 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 2: more taxes on oil. They tried to remember they had 28 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: a policy of they want to net zero, so we 29 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: would use no oil, gas or coal in this country, 30 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: which would have been Can you imagine how much we'd 31 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: be paying today for gasoline if they'd eliminated American output 32 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: and they have not allowed drill but baby drill, we'd 33 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 2: be paying eight dollars a gallon for gas. So you're right, 34 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,960 Speaker 2: there's a hypocrisy on the left. They keep saying, oh, 35 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 2: look at this, Trump's causing un four dollar gallon gasoline 36 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: four fifty dollars. 37 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,919 Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you're. 38 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 2: The ones who want You don't want people to use gas, 39 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: You don't want people to use oil. Anybody who thinks 40 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: we can we can power this country. You know, with 41 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 2: all the manufacturing we have with steel, the technology sector, 42 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 2: our farms use a lot of injury. We're gonna do that. 43 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 2: We're a thirty trillion dollar economy. We're going to power 44 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: all that with windmills. 45 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: But the other thing they did, everybody's electric bill was 46 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: one hundred bucks a month. Now it's four hundred because 47 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: of all their green scheme and regular climate. Yes, so 48 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: why don't they bring our electric bill back to one 49 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: hundred like it used to be. 50 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way, if there's a good comparison, 51 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: if you look at red states that use you know, 52 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: you know, coal and oil and gas and nuclear power, 53 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: they pay on average half as much for electric power 54 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: than New York and California and New Jersey and my 55 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: home state of Illinois. By the way, California is an 56 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: especially interesting state because that has the highest gas taxes 57 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: in the country. They pay like a dollar fifty more 58 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: per gallon of gas than every other resident of every 59 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 2: other state. And yet there's no state in the country 60 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 2: that has more oil and gas than California, maybe other 61 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: than Texas. So it's not like they don't have it. 62 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 2: They have abundance of resources. They just won't go after it. 63 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to Steve Moore. Hey, this is a 64 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 1: crazy mayor, mom, Donnie, you know, he gets elected, I'll 65 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: tax the rich, tax the rich. Tex Well, now that 66 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: he's putting together some of these tax plans, they also 67 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: seemed to tax the middle class like crazy, how did 68 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: that happen? 69 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: Well, let's the you know, a joke about the robber 70 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: you know, banks, and he said, that's where the money is. 71 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 2: The truth is the money. The money is in the 72 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 2: hands of the middle class. This is the middle class country. 73 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 2: So if you want to if you want to have 74 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 2: a social system, you're going to have to go after 75 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: people make between seventy five and two hundred thousand dollars. 76 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: And that's where the mass number of Americans are. You know, 77 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: there aren't that many billionaires in the country that you 78 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: can flee, so that's why they always go after the 79 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: middle class. 80 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's just awful, you know. And also he's 81 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: talking about lowering the estate tax. You know, you don't 82 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: pay any estate tax up to seven million. He's going 83 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: to bring that down to seven hundred thousand, so most 84 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: families if you want to the killer, yeah, killer. You 85 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: know what will happen is people we're already seeing this. 86 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: You know, we're seeing millionaires and billionaires moving out of 87 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: New York, they're moving out of California, they're moving out 88 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: of the highest tax states and you could go to 89 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: you in others. 90 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 2: Why would you die in New York. Let's say you 91 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 2: have fifty million dollars, Why would you die in New 92 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 2: York and then pass on, you know, half of that 93 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 2: money to the state and the federal government. When if 94 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: you die in Texas, you're not going to pay any 95 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 2: estate tax. 96 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: But also seven hundred thousand that's uh, you know, you 97 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to leave your house to the. 98 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 2: Middle Yeah, exactly, that's that's most middle income people. You know, 99 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: my upper middle income people, after you know, forty years 100 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: of working have amassed more than seven hundred thousand dollars 101 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: in well, I mean that's a house by the way. 102 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate Steve Moore. You know, all the all 103 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: these New Yorkers are moving to Florida. They're all moving 104 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 1: to Florida. So I noticed that in Palm Beach they 105 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: just elected a Democrat to this legislation. Miami just elected 106 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: a Democrat mayor. Is this the result of all these 107 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: New Yorkers moving there? They' getting these Democrats elected everywhere? 108 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: Well, I think there's just a backlashers, you know, against 109 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: Republicans right now. People are angry about prices. The war 110 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: is not that popular. But you know Trump, Trump is 111 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 2: is rebuilding the American economy. He's putting America first. We're 112 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: doing incredible things on deregulating economy. We're seeing you know, drill, baby, drill, 113 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 2: Thank god, we're doing that's that's we're not By the way, 114 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: did you know this? We the United States now, for 115 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,239 Speaker 2: the first time in fifty years, we're producing more energy 116 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: than we consume. So we're actually a net exporter of 117 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,159 Speaker 2: oil and gas. We are also, you may, I don't 118 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: know how many of your listeners are aware of this, 119 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 2: because I was surprised when I saw the statistic. The 120 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 2: United States now actually we are a net exporter of 121 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: oil and gas. In other words, we produce more and 122 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 2: we're the number one country in production, surpassed Saudi Arabia 123 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: and Russia. We are the number one powerhouse and energy. 124 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: Wow. So yeah, when it comes to Straits of Horror, Moose, 125 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: we don't need any of that oil coming out of there. 126 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: It's notation. 127 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 2: We need to realize that that. You know, I'm old 128 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: enough for remember Mark, You know, when I was a teenager, 129 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: young teenager in the seventies and my parents would would 130 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 2: pack pack us up at seven in the morning in 131 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 2: February and we get in the state old station wagon. 132 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 2: I bet a lot of your listeners don't even notice station. 133 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: And then we would we would get we would drive 134 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: to the little local service station. We'd be ninth in 135 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 2: line to get gas because we had gas lines back then. 136 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: And that was because of the Arab you know, the 137 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 2: Iranian Hassis situation. And all we've seen is these flare 138 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 2: ups in the Middle East all the time, and then 139 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 2: we get these big spikes and oil. So what we 140 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: need to do is really make sure that we are 141 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 2: no longer dependent on the Middle East for energy because 142 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,720 Speaker 2: they're not a reliable source. 143 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this could be over in a few weeks 144 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: and then. 145 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: I hope so, and what what if, by the way, 146 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 2: once once that happens, by the way, Mark, I guarantee you, 147 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 2: within three or four weeks, we'll be back to the 148 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 2: gas prices which were a record loan wonder Trump when 149 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: you adjust for inflation. So Trump had us on an 150 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: incredible course because of the disruption in the Middle East. 151 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: Prices spike, But I'm hearing to tell you they're going 152 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 2: to come right back down when we get this result. 153 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: Yeah.

I mean, 162 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 2: there's so there's so much Trump derangement syndrome on the 163 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: on the left that you know, he's calling out his 164 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: Democrats saying, look, we can agree with Trump on some things, 165 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 2: but you know that Charlie uh, Chuckie Schumer and the 166 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 2: Democratic leaders in the House, they're just reflexively against everything 167 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: Trump wants to do. And they're the ones, by the way, 168 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 2: that have created these long lines in the airports because 169 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 2: they want to create havoc and mayhem because they think 170 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: that hurts Trump. I mean, how cynical is that to 171 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 2: make people wait two hours in line at the airport 172 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 2: so they can score political points. 173 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, So you're right now.

I'm on the road a 179 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: couple of days a week, and I'm flying through in 180 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 2: and out of airports all the time. And by the way, 181 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 2: I haven't really confronted too many problems except for one airport. 182 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,680 Speaker 2: But when I see the TSA agents, I go up 183 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: and I shake their hand and say thank you, thank 184 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: you for working. There are a lot of dedicated TSA 185 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 2: agents who are working without a paycheck now for almost 186 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 2: a month.

By the way, I'm also in 190 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 2: favor of letting you know, ICE agents help out at 191 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 2: the reports. That's reducing lines. But the number cuss against 192 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 2: that too. 193 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: Oh hey, I want the ICE stations to go to 194 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: motor vehicles next take over that line. 195 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 2: That's a great idea, Mark, I love it. 196 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: Well.
