1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: The consumer price index has surged higher than expected, up 2 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: to eight point two percent, and this as the Saudis 3 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,640 Speaker 1: have thrown President Biden under the bus, claiming now that 4 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:18,759 Speaker 1: the US had urged the Kingdom to postpone a decision 5 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: by OPEC and its allies, including Russia, to cut oil production. 6 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: OPEC announced the cut in October fifth, and President Biden 7 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: has said there will be quote consequences for the move. 8 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: Now they're also now accusing the President of a quid 9 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: pro quo. They are saying that they again, the Saudis 10 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 1: are saying the US had urged the Kingdom to postpone 11 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,280 Speaker 1: a decision by OPEC and its allies until after the 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: mid term elections. And now the president is in a 13 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: bad spot because that on top of the consumer price 14 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: surge higher than expected. And Wall Street is responding. Now, 15 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: if you want to know why the President clearly can't 16 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: get any of this under control, it's also because it's 17 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: obvious the President doesn't actually know what's going on. He 18 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: is wandering through his day. Bill O'Reilly is going to 19 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,319 Speaker 1: join me in a few moments to talk about the 20 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: state of Joe Biden as a human being. But this 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: is from a speech in Colorado where Joe Biden said 22 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,479 Speaker 1: that his son Bo lost his life in Iraq when 23 00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: actually he died in America. Listened and let mean sincerely. 24 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: I say this as a father of a man who 25 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: won the broad Star to can speak of Service Medal 26 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: and lost his life in Iraq. Imagine the courage, the daring, 27 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: and the genuine sacrifice, genuine sacrifice they all made. He's 28 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: slurring his words, and then Biden says that his son 29 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: Bo lost his life in Iraq during a speech in Colorado. 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: That's not what happened. He did not lose his life 31 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: in Iraq. He lost his life in America. He died 32 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: to brain cancer in two thousand and fifteen. But he 33 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: says that his son lost his life in Iraq. Now, 34 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: I genuinely feel bad for anybody that has a cognitive decline. 35 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: But the rest of the world is looking at this 36 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: and that's why they're taking advantage. Also, America's ability to 37 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 1: even buy a home has gotten a much much harder 38 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: to do and accomplish because of inflation. In fact, the 39 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: average thirty year fixed rate mortgage on a home loan 40 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: has more than doubled since he took office.

Now back to the interest rates here, 62 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: the average thirty year fixed rate on a home loan 63 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: has more than doubled under Biden's term in office. It 64 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: has gone up from three point two percent to now 65 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: six point seven percent. This on top of the fact 66 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: that the monthly figure show inflation is accelerating, not falling. 67 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: That means there's going to be more pain for you 68 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 1: and I as American consumers. The price of goods purchased 69 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: by US households surged higher in September as a wide 70 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,160 Speaker 1: range of goods and services have become more expensive. Prices 71 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: rose eight point two percent compared with a year earlier. 72 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: That's the latest consumer price index show, showing evidence that 73 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: the price stability sought by the Federal Reserve raising interest 74 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 1: rates remains an elusive and distant destination for them, meeting 75 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: more pain is coming. Compared with August, prices did not 76 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: go down. In fact, prices rows prices were up zero 77 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: point four percent. The Department of Labors Bureau of Labor 78 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: statistics stead. In their new statement, they said core CPI, 79 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: which strips out volatile full food and energy prices, rose 80 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: six point six percent compared to a year ago. That 81 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: is the highest rate of core inflation in my lifetime 82 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: since nineteen eighty one, the year I was born. It 83 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: surpassed the recent six point four percent highs that we 84 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: hid in February and the highs that we also hid 85 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: in March. For the month, core prices were up listen carefully, 86 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: zero point six percent in one month. In a thirty 87 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: day average, economists had expected the index would be up 88 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: zero point two percent on a monthly basis, at eight 89 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: point one percent compared with a year ago, with course 90 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 1: CPI forecasts as rising zero point four percent month to 91 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: month and six point five percent compared a year ago. 92 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: In other words, they got it all wrong. The monthly 93 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: figure show inflation is except rating. After falling to zero 94 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: in July, the headline consumer Price index has now risen 95 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: for two straight months, meaning the FETE has not gotten 96 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: it under control. In August it was rising at zero 97 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: point one two percent rate. Core prices were up zero 98 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: point three one percent in July and zero point five 99 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: six percent almost doubling the number of July in August, 100 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: and then you have to deal with food. This is 101 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: everybody's problem right now. Food prices have risen almost an 102 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: entire percentage point in September alone, matching the previous month's increase. 103 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 1: Compared with a year ago, food prices under the Biden 104 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: regime are up eleven point two percent. Prices of food 105 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: purchase from home consumption, known to the rest of US 106 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,040 Speaker 1: as groceries, the government has now said rows zero point 107 00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: seven percent for the second straight month, the meaning one 108 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: point four percent increase in the price of your groceries 109 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: in the last sixty days. These are up thirteen percent 110 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: compared to a year ago. So it's a massive tax 111 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: on your groceries, basically inflation. You are paying thirteen cents 112 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: more and every dollar that you're spending at the grocery store. 113 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: How is the world reacting to this? CNN's Christine Romans 114 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: had this to say about the numbers, and this is 115 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: again on CNN. Listen carefully, This just into CNN concerning 116 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: new data this morning. As the US looks to combat 117 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: rising inflation, consumer prices rising point four percent in September 118 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: eight point two percent year over year. Now, that's higher 119 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: than many experts had predicted. S in chief Business corresponding 120 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: Chriscine Romans joins me now to walk through these numbers, Christine, 121 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: these are figures that every American feels every time they 122 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: go to the grocery store or to the gas station. 123 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: Why does it remain so stubbornly high? You know? And 124 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: that is the big question. The Fed has been raising 125 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: interest rates now for months, and these numbers are still 126 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: near forty year highs. And when you dig inside these numbers, 127 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: and this is what everyone's really paying close attention to 128 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: this morning, Beanna, when you strip out food and energy, 129 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: that core inflation, annual core inflation six point six percent, 130 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: that is the highest since nineteen eighty two. So that 131 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: is a fresh forty year high for core inflation. And 132 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: month over month core inflation zero point six percent. That 133 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: matches what we saw in August. Overall inflation, you can 134 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: see on a line chart how it's off the worst 135 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: levels that we'd seen earlier this year, maybe showing signs 136 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: of turning or peaking. That's what everybody wants to know. 137 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: But what you are feeling year over year, gasoline prices 138 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 1: up more than eighteen percent from last year. Food prices 139 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: still up eleven percent, and shelter shelter prices have been rising, 140 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: and this is the part of the economy that you 141 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: can't quickly change. You can go to different store brands, 142 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: or you can shop differently and switch out your cuts 143 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: of meat, right if you're a shopper for your grocery bill. 144 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: Much more difficult when you're talking about your housing costs. Now, 145 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: these rising prices have been so punishing for so long. 146 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: The cost of living adjustment for Social Security recipients last year. 147 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: Next year, we've just found out, will be eight point 148 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,599 Speaker 1: seven percent. So the seventy million people who receive a 149 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: Social Security checker those sorts of benefits starting in January, 150 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: we'll have about one hundred and forty six dollars on 151 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: average more a month to try to compensate for this 152 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: high inflation. Beianna. Yeah, these two ures. Again, this is 153 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: CNN you're hearing, Okay, so be clear about that. This 154 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 1: is CNN telling you all of this. They're now saying 155 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: to you that this is really bad. They're saying to 156 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: you that this is brutal. They're saying to you that 157 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: these numbers are skyrocketing and you are going to be 158 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 1: the victim of this for probably years to come. Because 159 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: the annual core inflation at six point six percent is 160 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: the highest sense nineteen eighty two. That's a fresh forty 161 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: year high for core inflation. And that's coming from CNN. 162 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 1: Like they're not screwing around with this. They're understanding they 163 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: can't keep lying to you about just how bad this is. 164 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: Bloomberg has come out talking about just how bad things 165 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: are this morning as well, and they had this to 166 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: say moments ago on Bloomberg about the economy, he says, 167 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,959 Speaker 1: a prudent use of the asset. Other people are very 168 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: worried about this. You've drained the spr so it's lowest 169 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: level in four decades. The some accusation that you're using, 170 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: you're putting the polls before America's energy security, Brian. The 171 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: Saudis themselves said this morning that the US requested a 172 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: one month's delay to the OPEC plus output. I wonder 173 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: why that would be, Brian, Can you tell me whether 174 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: you did ask the Saudie's for a one month's delay 175 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: to that decision? Are they toning the truth now? This 176 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: is obviously Bloomberg calling out this Senior House by an 177 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 1: economic advisor. All right, Brian Das, who's who's asking Like, 178 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: you guys clearly are trying to fix the markets. You 179 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: asked for one month delay from OPEC. They're saying that 180 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: you guys are trying to artificially, you know, change the 181 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: price of gas for just one month to make it 182 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: through the midterms, and they're now calling you out for 183 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: this quid pro quo. You know, what do you have 184 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: to say the thoughties? Listen to the White House's response. Look, 185 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,319 Speaker 1: we we clearly communicated our views to OPEC members that 186 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 1: we thought it was shortsighted for them to take the 187 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: action that they were contemplating, and they announced with respect 188 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: of the Strategic Patroleum Reserve. This was a calibrated decision 189 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: to address the real issues in the market. We talked 190 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,839 Speaker 1: to US industry last winter. We identified that there was 191 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: about a million barrel a day gap between what they 192 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: were producing this winter and what they said that they 193 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: could get production to buy late this fall. That million 194 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: barrel gap was what we calibrated to make the decision 195 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: on the use of the Strategic Patroleum Reserve. And people 196 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: should feel confident that the Strategic Patrol and Reserve continues 197 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: to be an asset that we can deploy to address 198 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: our economic and national security needs. That's always what has 199 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: dictated the present's decision making on this, and that's what 200 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: I will dictate his decision making on this going forward. 201 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: And you didn't ask the questions. I love It's right, 202 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,320 Speaker 1: Bloomberg is like, you didn't answer the question. You just 203 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: made up a bunch of crap. Right, you're the White 204 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,920 Speaker 1: House National Economic Council Director.

You're in charge, Brian Dast You're the 236 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: White House National Economic Council Director. We asked you a 237 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: basic question about you guys trying to influence the price 238 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: of all in gas for just one month with OPEC 239 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: basically trying to bribe OPEC to give you what you 240 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: need to hopefully, you know, make it where your losses 241 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: in the midterms aren't that bad. By having a fake 242 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: gas price, it's gonna immediately skyrocket the day the elections happened, 243 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 1: because you're gonna stop dumping oil from the strategical reserves 244 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: and you know that OPEC is going to cut oil production. 245 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: And listen to Bloomberg, just tear into the White House, Brian, 246 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: you didn't asker the question, so I'm going to ask 247 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: it again. I'm going to share with you and share 248 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: with our audience the quote from the saudiast to Semonic. 249 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: The Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia would like 250 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: to clarify the based on this belief in the importance 251 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: of dialogue and exchange of views with its allies and 252 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: partners outside of OPEC PLUS regarding the situation of the 253 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: oil markets. The Government of the Kingdom clarified through its 254 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: continuous consultation with the US administ the all economic analyses 255 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: indicate the postponing the OPEC PLUS decision for a month. 256 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: According to what it's been suggested would have had negative 257 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: economic consequences. Brian, Again, it's a really straight question. Did 258 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 1: you ask the Saudis to delay that decision for a month? 259 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: Are they telling the truth or not? Look, I'm not 260 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: going to I'm not going to get on air and 261 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: disclose private conversations that have shad it with us. It's 262 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 1: called the opportunity to societs true or not? Is it 263 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 1: true or not? What I will say, what I will 264 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: say or what I will say clearly is that the 265 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: communications that we've had with OPEC members and continuing have 266 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: been based on our assessment of the economic circumstances of 267 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: supply and demanding global oil markets. We disagree. I mean, 268 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: these guys they're just getting hammered today because there's no 269 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: way to overlook what the Saudis have come out and said, 270 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: and what the Saudis have come out and said is, hey, 271 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: you guys just need to know, uh, you know that 272 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: that that we were basically bribe by the Biden administration 273 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,400 Speaker 1: to artificially change what we were going to do. That's 274 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: what the Saudis are saying. They're saying, this is a 275 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: quid pro quote. Where's the impeachment hearings, right, because that's 276 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: what that's exactly what this should be. And Brian Dee's, 277 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: by the way, goes out. They're also on CNN and 278 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: has this to say about gas prices again, lying to 279 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: you and Americans expect to see higher prices at the 280 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: pump with OPEC plus a surprising decision to cut production 281 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: by two million barrels a day. Well, here's what I'll say. 282 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: Most Americans are seeing presses the pump now that are 283 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: down a dollar a dollar twenty from where they were 284 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: this summer. And the prices that energy companies are paying, 285 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: the wholesale prices are at historically low levels compared to 286 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: what the retail prices are being paid. And so if 287 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: market markets do what they should do, those retail prices 288 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: should come down. They should come down over the course 289 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: of the next couple of weeks, and consumers should see 290 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: that at the in terms of the retail price that 291 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: they pay. So that's where we are communicating when we're 292 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: talking to energy companies and industry anals. Those prices should 293 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: come down, and we're hopefully they will over the next 294 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. Oil prices up from their low just 295 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: last month. We of course will be following and watching 296 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 1: it closely. I mean, these scumbags ever seen in like 297 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: the way she asked that, she asked the question. He 298 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: gets to lie, he gets to put out his propaganda, 299 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,400 Speaker 1: and they're like, well, well see what happens. Right, Thank 300 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: you Brian for coming on and giving us that propaganda. 301 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 1: At least Bloomberg flat out called him out on this 302 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,159 Speaker 1: and was like no, no, like, we're not going to 303 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: allow this to happen, right, I mean even the White 304 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: House today they went on Fox News channel, and Fox 305 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 1: News asked questions the way they should have asked questions, saying, 306 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: you guys are all over the place on inflation. Listen 307 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: to this percent in September. Clear, I stripped energy out 308 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,280 Speaker 1: of my question because I was just talking about core inflation. Continue, No, 309 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:46,120 Speaker 1: core inflation strips out energy and food. But when we're 310 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: talking about squeezing family budgets, we really have to talk 311 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: about energy and food. And it is the case that 312 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: while gas prices did start to rise at the end 313 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: of September, in today's report they were down five percent. 314 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 1: But look, nobody is denying fundamental point, which is this 315 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: is a real squeeze on family budgets, and I think 316 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: the question is our policymakers doing what they need to do. 317 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: The President released oil from the Strategic Reserve that contributed 318 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: to almost one hundred day of gas de clients. I 319 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: mentioned our work on the supply side, the Inflation Reduction Act, 320 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: lowering medical care costs, lowing prescription drug costs, lowering the 321 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: cost of clean energy. I mean, is this is it 322 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 1: when you know they're desperate? Right? This is Jared Bernstein, 323 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: White House Council of Economic Advisors, who's going through the 324 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: entire list of all the things that they're trying to 325 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: claim they're doing and saying, well, yeah, it's a real 326 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 1: squeeze on family budgets. But everything's moving in the right direction. 327 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: Everything is not moving them moving in the right direction. 328 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 1: He just said it's moving the right direction. It's literally 329 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: not moving in the right direction. It's moving the opposite direction. 330 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: Dana Perino jumps in, she says, all right, and then 331 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 1: he says this, so all of these are moving in 332 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: the right direction. They take time to factor into these 333 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 1: price into and we'd like to have a quick cost 334 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 1: But first question, have a couple of questions here. So 335 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: I love this right, like, oh, you know, you know 336 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,880 Speaker 1: it's it's head in the right direction. No, it's not. 337 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: None of this is heading in the right direction. It's 338 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: all heading in the wrong direction. And you guys sit there, 339 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 1: you're like, no, heading the right direction. I, No, it's not. 340 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: It's Every number says that you're lying. Every number says 341 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: that you're wrong. The Saudis are throwing you under the 342 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: bus now. They're telling you that you're lying that The 343 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: Saudis are are literally looking at you saying watch this 344 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: right like, watch it, We're gonna bring it to you. 345 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: You guys did a quid pro quo here it is 346 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: a forty year high with inflation, and then immediately says, 347 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: we don't need to change our economic policies. What we're 348 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 1: doing is working. The White House says that Bill Hammers 349 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: is sir, is it time for the White House and 350 00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: the Biden administration to pivot on its economic policies? Burn 351 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 1: seeing No, I think what we have is the white 352 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: at the White House, the Federal Reserve. We're actually aware 353 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: of the pressures that cause that this causes on American 354 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: families and budgets. The Presents started out this morning by 355 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 1: talking about how Americans are squeezed by the cost of living, 356 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: and they didn't need this report to remind them of that. 357 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: But that's certainly in the report. But we're headed in 358 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 1: the right direction, We're not headed in the right direction. 359 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: Inflation was eight point two percent in September. Inflation is 360 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: outpacing wages. We're actually, we're acutely aware of the pressure 361 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: that this caused on American families and American family budgets. 362 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 1: Budgets here that if you are acutely aware of what 363 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 1: is happening right and the way that you're describing it, 364 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 1: and why would you say we're heading the right direction 365 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: when the numbers actually say we are headed in the 366 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: wrong direction. Because when you have a media the way 367 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: that we have a media that can lie to you 368 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: this way, they can have these representatives go out there 369 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: on TV and just act like all this is is 370 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: is completely normal, right, and just say everything's fine, even CNBC. 371 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: This is how they described the inflation numbers. And finally, 372 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: year over years strip out food and energy also hotter 373 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: than expectations of six point six. That follows six point three, 374 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: and six point six is a new high. The old 375 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: high was six point five in March that went back 376 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: to nineteen eighty two, nineteen eighty two. The wheels are 377 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,160 Speaker 1: coming off the bus, and I don't think they're gonna 378 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 1: be able to hide it through the election. That's what 379 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 1: this means, right. The inflation was hotter than expected in September, 380 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:45,880 Speaker 1: and yet the White House says, no, no no, no, we're 381 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: headed in the right direction. All right. So we're looking 382 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: at a month over month gate of point four percent. 383 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: The estimate was point two percent month over month, coming 384 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 1: in at pot point four percent year over year eight 385 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: point two percent, that is hotter than expected. Again, coming 386 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: in month over month hotter than expected at point four percent, 387 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: and again eight point two percent is the headline CPI 388 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: number for the month of September. That is hotter than expected. Again, 389 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: if you strip out food and energy six point six percent, 390 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: that is your core number a year of year, hotter 391 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,160 Speaker 1: than expected. Guys, hotter than expected. There goes your markets down, 392 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: down two hundred and forty one points. By the way, 393 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: in the time that she said that Dow future is 394 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: when she's started the comments I just played for you 395 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: were up two hundred and ninety three points. That's where 396 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: the Dow futures were. Then they went down seventy one. 397 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 1: This in real time, all right, as she was talking. 398 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 1: Then they go down another eighty right, This is I mean, 399 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: this is happening in real time as she's speaking for 400 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: forty seconds. Then they jumped down one hundred and sixty 401 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: one one points because it's and then it goes to 402 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy six. The dow down in one 403 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: seventy six in the futures, So we went from then 404 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: one eighty right, and this is thirty three seconds in 405 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm watching this in real times, and then it goes 406 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: to one ninety five down right as she's finishing up 407 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: these numbers it's hitting. Then it goes then it hits 408 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: two forty one down. So in a span of forty 409 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 1: one seconds, the dow went from two ninety five up 410 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: to at the very end when she was saying the 411 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: last thaying down two forty one a five hundred point 412 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 1: you know, total split out of nowhere. Because this administration 413 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,239 Speaker 1: has no idea what the hell to do when it 414 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: comes to inflation, and they have no idea what to 415 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: do when it comes to energy, and they refuse to 416 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: allow us to do what we need to do to 417 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: protect ourselves with energy independence. And now we find out 418 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: they were basically trying to bribe the Saudis to delay 419 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 1: their two million barrel a day of old protection that 420 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: they were going to decrease until after the midterm elections. 421 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: Then they were going to say go ahead and do it, 422 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: just say the liberal Democrats until then, that was the 423 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: quid pro quo. Now, before I get into more of 424 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: this story, I want to say thank you and tell 425 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: you about our good friends at Legacy Precious Medals.

All right, a few minutes ago, 443 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: I sat down with my good friend Bill O'Reilly and 444 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: we talked about this quid pro quo, and I want 445 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 1: you to hear our conversation.

How are you 448 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: doing well. I want to hit a couple big headlines 449 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: real quick, and then I want to get into the book. 450 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: One of those headlines is this shock this morning, and 451 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: this is really, I think, telling you about the Saudis 452 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: and how little respect they have for our president. The 453 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has come out and confirmed that 454 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,159 Speaker 1: Biden attempted to coerce them to postpone their oil cuts 455 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 1: until after the mid terms, and announced that they have objected. 456 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,679 Speaker 1: They're calling at this a quid pro quo. Your reaction 457 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: to the Saudi's basically throwing the United States of America 458 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: are President under the bus in this way. I've never 459 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,160 Speaker 1: had much respect for Saudi Arabia. I don't think it's 460 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: a country that is looking out for Americans in any way. 461 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: We need them as a bulwark against Iran, which is 462 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: why there are ally But they're fairly pernicious people, harmful people. Obviously, 463 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,959 Speaker 1: they don't like Biden. They want to embarrass them. They have. 464 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 1: The worst thing is they've thrown in with putin the Saudi's. 465 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a disgrace and is known. But 466 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: I mean these are people who execute, you know, thirty 467 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: forty people at a at a throw. I'm chopping people's 468 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: hands off. I mean, this is a primitive government with 469 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: no human rights perspective at all. And as for Biden, 470 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: I interviewed former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo this week 471 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: and he basically said, and I believe this is true, Ben, 472 00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: very few world leaders respect Biden, even our allies. They 473 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,360 Speaker 1: know he's be fuddled, they know he's incompetent. They're very 474 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: worried about the next two years. So the Saudis knew 475 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: to get away with this. If Trump were president, obviously 476 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,959 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have done it because Trump would have had 477 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,239 Speaker 1: a huge reprisal against the Saudis, but Biden would do 478 00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: anything because that's who Biden is. But all Americans are gonna, 479 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 1: you know, get pounded in the next three or four 480 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: months on as gas prices go up again, and that'll 481 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 1: lead to hire food prices. So there you go. You 482 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: look at the president and you just mentioned that everybody's 483 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 1: taking advantage of him. He had another big blunder yesterday. 484 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: Biden said that his son Bo lost his life in 485 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: Iraq during the speech that he gave in Colorado. His 486 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: son Bo died of brain cancer in twenty fifteen, not 487 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 1: in Iraq. When you look at these types of blunders, 488 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: I am at the point now and I genuinely feel 489 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: sorry for anyone that's losing their cognitive function. I feel 490 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: sorry for anybody that's dealing with whether it be Alzheimer's, dementia, etc. 491 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 1: I'm not a doctor, right, I don't know what's wrong, 492 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: but I do know something's wrong, and the rest of 493 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: the world is watching this, and like you said, they're 494 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. Yeah, there's no question that everybody knows. 495 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: Now Biden's in cognitive decline. He's going to be eighty 496 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: in November on the bow Biden front. I caught him 497 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 1: slack because there is a school of thought that says 498 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,959 Speaker 1: that bo got the brain cancer through chemical agents that 499 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 1: he countered in a wreck. So maybe maybe that's what 500 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: his father was talking about. See these kind of small 501 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: ball things, they don't really matter to me. You know, 502 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 1: there's Biden on a stage asking for a dead person. 503 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:51,920 Speaker 1: It's more of a car wreck than policy. What I'm 504 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 1: concerned about is that, in my opinion, and I believe 505 00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 1: I am absolutely right, Joe Biden is incapable of absorbing information. 506 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: Then that's the key to this. He cannot absorb information. 507 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: So he doesn't understand that if you attack the facile 508 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: fuel industry, if you attack American energy, that American energy 509 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 1: is then going to cut back. If you put regulations 510 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: on the industry, it's harder to harvest oil. He doesn't 511 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: understand that, and that has led to the inflation into 512 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: all of the economic car they were experiencing. Now you 513 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: got a guy to run into country who doesn't understand 514 00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: cause and effect. You got a major problem. You look 515 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: at gas prices now, and you mentioned this earlier bill, 516 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: and that was you know, Democrats saying, all right, well, 517 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna blame Russia for this and the Saudis for this. Well, 518 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: if you know that Russia and the Saudis always act 519 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: this way, and you and I both know they always 520 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,239 Speaker 1: will anytime they can screw us, they're gonna do it. 521 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 1: It's part of their foreign policy. Then why would you 522 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: not go back to more energy independence? And yet they're 523 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 1: still sitting there just basically acting like, hey, we'll artificially 524 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,240 Speaker 1: try to keep the prices down. Our strategic oil reserves 525 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 1: at the lowest level they've been in my lifetime. They're 526 00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: pumping millions of barrels of oil into the market every day, 527 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: yet half that's going overseas, if not more, and they're 528 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: just trying to keep these prices down until the midterms. 529 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: That then that that artificial deflation, right, that artificial price 530 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: decrease of the million plus barrels are putting out there 531 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: every day from our strategical reserves is going to dry 532 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: up literally the day of the election. Sure, I mean, 533 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 1: it's you know, this is the way politics work in America. 534 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: I think that the November eighth election is crucial that 535 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: if Republicans can take the House, that'll put the brakes 536 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: on the Biden administration. They're not going to be able 537 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: to get anything past anything done. Any executive order be 538 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: immediately challenged in federal court. They're not going to be 539 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: able to reverse the damage that Biden is done, but 540 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: to be able to stop it, particularly on the mass 541 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:10,720 Speaker 1: of spending front the Senate. Um, you know, who knows 542 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: some bad Republican candidates in the UH on the sheet here, 543 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: So nobody really knows that that's going to come down. 544 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: But I am fairly confident that the House will go 545 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: overwhelmingly to the Republicans. And then you're gonna see a 546 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: lot of hearings about Biden and the things that Biden 547 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 1: is done that are going to be really gruesome, and 548 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 1: he may be impeached over failure to enforce border laws 549 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,560 Speaker 1: that are along on the border. Biden could be impeached 550 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,880 Speaker 1: on that. Not going to get condicted, but you know 551 00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,960 Speaker 1: it would be paid back for the Trump stuff that 552 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: could happen. So anyway, Um, you know, if you want it, 553 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 1: if you like your country the way it is now, 554 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: vote Democrat on November eight. I want to ask you 555 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: one last question before you get to the book, and 556 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: that's what you mentioned the border and let's let's talk 557 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: about the feedinal that's coming across the border. The numb 558 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: number one killer of forty and under this year is 559 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: going to be fetnel, and it is. There's a lot 560 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 1: of people that unfortunately use drugs but have no intention 561 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 1: of dying instantly from there being laced with fetnel. And 562 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: this administration refuses to do anything at all to secure 563 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: the border. It's obvious we have more people coming across 564 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,239 Speaker 1: the border now than any other time in history. This 565 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: administration keeps lying and saying, oh, we have a secure border. 566 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 1: Obviously we don't have a secure border. It's wide open. 567 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,959 Speaker 1: And yet we saw this phone call that got leaked 568 00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: yesterday of Bo Biden pleading with his brother's ex wife 569 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,800 Speaker 1: for her to release him some airline points to quote 570 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: check himself into rehab. Now, it was obvious he was 571 00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: an addict, you could hear it. I felt compassion for him, 572 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: I felt sad. But there was something very revealing in 573 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: that in that audiotape, and that is he said, well, 574 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: give it to uncle Jimmy, and she said no because 575 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 1: she didn't trust the uncle to actually do the right thing. 576 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: And he says, we'll give it to my dad, and 577 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: she says no, she says, I'll put you into rehab. 578 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,400 Speaker 1: I'm not going to trust them to do it for you. 579 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:09,960 Speaker 1: And I look at this and it's almost like this 580 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: family knew that their son and their nephew was an addict. 581 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: They exploited it to make money off him, knowing he 582 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 1: could do things they would never do. And then their alibi, 583 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: which is clearly what this administration has been talking about. 584 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: The President did in this big interview with Jake Tapper 585 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: right where he's like, well, he's an addict. He overcame this. 586 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,120 Speaker 1: I'm so proud of him. That's the alibi for this. 587 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: And it's like, well, if they don't even care about 588 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: their own son and helping protect him from the addiction 589 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: and giving him and cutting him off from the millions 590 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,479 Speaker 1: right that he was bringing in and saying, you're not 591 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:44,800 Speaker 1: working this business anymore if it was legitimate, they exploited him, Bill, 592 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: and then people expect him to do something at the 593 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 1: border with no, he didn't even care to stop the 594 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 1: drug abuse with his own son. Well, I can't address 595 00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: the own son business because I was in there and 596 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 1: I don't know the dynamic and signed the family. But 597 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: I can't address the fact that the president of the 598 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: United States does not care and that's absolutely true what 599 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: you said. He does not care about massive amounts of 600 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:18,279 Speaker 1: narcotics crossing into the United States. He has no plan 601 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: to combat it, he has put no emphasis on it, 602 00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:27,560 Speaker 1: hasn't done a nationwide address, hasn't done anything because number one, 603 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,880 Speaker 1: he doesn't know what to do, and number two, he 604 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:36,520 Speaker 1: doesn't care about it. So again, and you're looking at efficiency. 605 00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:40,680 Speaker 1: When you elect the president, you expect the president to 606 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: be able to do the job. Trump did the job 607 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: pretty well. He ran the country pretty well in the 608 00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,880 Speaker 1: four years. That's beyond dispute. You don't like Trump, okay, 609 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,879 Speaker 1: you don't like is he irresponsible sometimes in his statements? Absolutely? 610 00:34:56,800 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: Does he do things he shouldn't do? Absolutely? Did he 611 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,280 Speaker 1: run the country well, yes, he did. So it's a trade. 612 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 1: And you traded Trump for Biden. If you voted for Biden, 613 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:12,080 Speaker 1: that's what you traded. Happy. Are you happy with that? 614 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you got to break it down to its 615 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 1: simplest component. I don't know what Joe Biden prioritizes this 616 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,719 Speaker 1: in his life at this point. I just think that 617 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:26,440 Speaker 1: the man wanders, and that I use that word literally wanders. 618 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 1: Through the day and who's told what to do by 619 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,120 Speaker 1: his wife and his staff, and he does it. That's it. Yeah, 620 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: it's clear that his wife is a caretaker. You can 621 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: see it in public now and that's obvious. I want 622 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: to move to this book. It's gonna be another big bestseller. 623 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 1: The series that you do. These books are incredible. I've read. 624 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: I've got the one literally on my desk right now 625 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 1: when I fly. I've been reading Killing the Killers. It's 626 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: an awesome book. If you haven't gotten that one, The 627 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: Secret War against Terrace. You've got a new book though 628 00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 1: coming out. It's gonna be great for the holidays, great 629 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: stocking stuff for Killing the Ledge. The Lethal Danger of Celebrity, 630 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: and one of those celebrities is from my hometown, Elvis. 631 00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about this book in the Elvis 632 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: aspect of it as well. Okay, so basically what you 633 00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:19,480 Speaker 1: have here in Three Men Who Changed American culture. Elvis 634 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: Presley late nineteen fifties, teenager from Mississippi goes on Ed 635 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: Sullivan sings a dope song called hound Dog crashes the 636 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:34,040 Speaker 1: entire conformist culture in America. Here comes rock and roll rebellion. 637 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 1: One guy, he did it and then in sixty four 638 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: the Beatles come over to the spear Point for five 639 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:45,600 Speaker 1: years of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. We have 640 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: that culture now. And then Muhammad Ali refuses to be 641 00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,720 Speaker 1: inducted in the armed forces, raises descent to the highest 642 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,000 Speaker 1: level ever, and then becomes a civil rights icon. All 643 00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: three of these people changed American culture. This is a 644 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: history book, and all three of them were crushed, destroyed 645 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: by their fame, and betrayed by the people closest to them. 646 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: It is an unbelievably compelling story. This is the twelfth 647 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,399 Speaker 1: Killing book. First one I've written about culture, the other 648 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: eleven or about President's awards. You know what they are? 649 00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,839 Speaker 1: Nineteen million copies of my books in print, the most 650 00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 1: successful non fiction book series of all time. And I'm 651 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 1: getting you know, the Killing Legends is one of the best. 652 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: If you go to Amazon, you look at the reviews 653 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: by customers who read the book, eighty seven percent give 654 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 1: it an excellent rating. That's higher than any of the 655 00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:44,359 Speaker 1: other Killing books except for Jesus. And it's really rough 656 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: to criticize Jesus. You got to give him some slack 657 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: at them, Yeah, no doubt about that. When you were 658 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,680 Speaker 1: writing these books. I know you guys, you and your team, 659 00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:57,360 Speaker 1: you'll pour into research. What was probably the most shocking 660 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: thing that you learned while writing this book, Killing the Legends, 661 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,279 Speaker 1: The lethal danger of celebrity. I guess the Beatles broke 662 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 1: up because John Lennon became a heroin addict. So everybody 663 00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:12,879 Speaker 1: thinks it was finance, and there was some of that, 664 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:18,680 Speaker 1: but once Lennon was taken over by Yoko Ono, who 665 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: ran his entire life, you can't addicted to heroin, and 666 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: that's what really broke up the Beatles. The other three 667 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 1: one wait a minute, hold it, what is this? And 668 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:32,320 Speaker 1: that was shocking to me. I did not know that. Wow. 669 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,839 Speaker 1: And you also mentioned and I think this is tell 670 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,640 Speaker 1: is a cautionary tale for everybody. Be careful you surround 671 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 1: yourself with all of these legends, as you described it, 672 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,759 Speaker 1: were literally betrayed by the people that were closest to them. 673 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,560 Speaker 1: And when you get them involved in drugs, then you 674 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: can really manipulate and get exactly what you want because 675 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,839 Speaker 1: you know you have an addict that just needs their 676 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: next fix. Yeah, Alie didn't take drugs. What Elie did 677 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: was he got overwhelmed by his fame, so he went 678 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,040 Speaker 1: to the Nation of Islam and I said, and he 679 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,879 Speaker 1: said to them, you do it, you take it over, 680 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,239 Speaker 1: which they did, and then they took all his money. 681 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: So Ali was broke for most of his life because 682 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,560 Speaker 1: the Nation of Islam, Herlijah Muhamman son Herbert, who ran 683 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 1: Alie's businesses, they still all the money. So Ali just surrender. 684 00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,120 Speaker 1: He said, I can't do it. I'm overwhelmed. You do it. 685 00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:28,640 Speaker 1: And that's what Elvis did with Tom Parker, and everybody 686 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 1: in Memphis and Tennessee and Mississippi know how Parker a criminal, 687 00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,080 Speaker 1: I mean, basically ruined Presley. But I don't see these 688 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,160 Speaker 1: guys as victims. Ben and they were all smart guys. 689 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 1: They weren't well educated, but they weren't stupid. They knew 690 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 1: what was happening to them, and they allowed it to 691 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: go on. Do you think they allowed it because of 692 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:53,280 Speaker 1: the of the stress of being a legend. Yeah. Because 693 00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: they were crushed by the celebrity. Their lives were just 694 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:02,279 Speaker 1: basically out of control all the time, time, tremendous demands 695 00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: on them, pressure to perform, all kinds of controversy swirling around, 696 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 1: some of which they engendered, others that didn't and they 697 00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 1: didn't get any relief. And Elvis, I believe, wanted to 698 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 1: check out. You don't take that amount of narcotics every 699 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 1: day if you want to live.
