1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,880 Speaker 1: I'm along. McCarty apparently doesn't think it's collusion if your 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: campaign managers giving inside pulling data and battle strategy in 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: peace states to an agent Russian intelligence while the Russians 4 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: are heppier campaign, but most Americans would call that collusion. 5 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: McCarthy has no plan, but the Republican Party has no plan. 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: They can do nothing except do political starts. So can 7 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,480 Speaker 1: you do anything about gun lastering the lame doctors? I'm 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: gonna try. What will you find of? I'm gonna try 9 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: to get riot of a solway. Freedom is back in style, 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Revolution. Yeah, we're coming. You'll sent you'll 11 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 1: want to play our Consolved Sean Hannity Show. More behind 12 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired 13 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: solutions for America. Coming up next Our final news round 14 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,560 Speaker 1: up and information Overload, Our right News round of Information 15 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: Overload hour eight hundred nine for one, Shawn our number 16 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal pointing out that oil analysts are saying, 18 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,319 Speaker 1: even with the new licenses to Chevron, in this case 19 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:19,400 Speaker 1: with Venezuela and Venezuelan output, it's unlikely to increase by 20 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: more than zero point two percent of the world's demand 21 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: in the next year or two. So the administration now 22 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: says that the sanctions relief for Caracas is unrelated to 23 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: oil and instead is a carrot for talking with the 24 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: opposition about returning to democracy. Now, remember they're doing this 25 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: and America does not even recognize this murdering dictator, thug 26 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: Maduro as a duly elected leader in Venezuela. It doesn't 27 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: get any more insane anyway. Congressman Jimenez is with Florida's 28 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: twenty sixth Congressional district and he represents the largest constituency 29 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: of Venezuelans in the US, and he's outraged that what 30 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: Biden is doing here. He put out that Biden will 31 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: do anything to crush American energy independence, including giving into dictators, 32 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: which is exactly what's happening anyway. Congressman Carlos Jimenez is 33 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 1: with us now. Congressman, thanks for being here, my pleasure. Sean. 34 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: How are you doing. I'm good, my friend. I can't 35 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 1: believe it. We have more energy resources in this country 36 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: that we would never need to import any energy for 37 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 1: hundreds of years, and yet Joe Biden and the Democratic 38 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: Party a steadfastly refuse the production of the lifeblood of 39 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: the world's economy. Here, why is that your guess is 40 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: as good as mine, Sean, It's probably because it's good 41 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: for America. And everything that this president does is not 42 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: good for America. He wakes up every morning says, how 43 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 1: can I work against America's interest? And here's another example 44 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: of it. You go to a foreign dictator of Venezuela, 45 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: who is an ally of who, of Rush, of China, 46 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: of Iran, who is suppressing his people, and then you're 47 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: asking him, please give us more oil, and we will 48 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: try to list some of these sanctions that we've had 49 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: in place for the last four years. Oh, by the way, 50 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: all you gotta do is promise that you're going to 51 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 1: talk to the opposition, and the opposition happens to be 52 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: the government that we recognize. I mean, it's foolish, it's ridiculous, 53 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: and it makes absolutely no sense. Shun oh, I mean, 54 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 1: it makes no sense. Explain to me. This is the 55 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,919 Speaker 1: one question no liberal can answer. How is it any 56 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: different if you drive for a barrel of oil in Venezuela, 57 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, any of the OPEC plus countries, Russia, Iran. 58 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: How is it any different in terms of the impact 59 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: on Mother Earth than if we produce that barrel of 60 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: oil here in America, Because I would argue that we 61 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: do it, we do it cleaner, we do it faster, 62 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: we do it cheaper, and it's best. It's in our 63 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: best foreign policy interest to do so. It's it creates 64 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: high paying career jobs. It would go a long way 65 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: to reducing the price of oil at the pump and 66 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: heating our homes as winner, it would be good for inflation. 67 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: Why don't we do it here? Well, it's a great question. Actually, 68 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: it is better for us to use it to get 69 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: American oil because we produce it cleaner than anybody else 70 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: in the world, probably twenty to thirty percent cleaner. So 71 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,720 Speaker 1: even for the environment, it's good for have American oil, 72 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: and also for our foreign policy. And look, it helps 73 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: our economy. It will reduce the price of oil, it 74 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: will reduce the inflation. It will also give us leverage 75 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: on the world market to use energy as we should 76 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: as a weapon, just like the Russians are using energy 77 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: as a weapon. Now we can help our allies and 78 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: hurt our adversaries. And so, by the way, could you 79 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: imagine if if we were still energy independent and we 80 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: ratcheted up production and we sold it to our Western 81 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: European allies, how much money we would make as a country, 82 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: how rich we would become as a country. We would 83 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: we would definitely help America. But also he's helping our 84 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: allies because they could then you know, sata Putin, you're 85 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 1: gonna eat your oil. We're going to buy American oil, 86 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: and we can, we'll have energy independence from you. That's 87 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,840 Speaker 1: why we need to produce more energy here in the 88 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: United States. Go ahead and drill for oil, more natural gas. 89 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: All those things that are good for America are also 90 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: good for our allies. And yet this administration is doing 91 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: everything in its power to destroy the oil and gas 92 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: industry here in the United States. It makes absolutely no 93 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 1: sense whatsoever. There's nothing that they can say to me 94 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: that's going to explain to me why this makes sense. 95 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: Why are you going to Venezuela for God's sakes, you know, 96 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: look what they're doing to their people. No free elections. 97 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: Their allies of Russia and China and Iran are major 98 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: energy and you want them to produce the oil. Are 99 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: you out of your mind? Yeah? Yeah, he is he's 100 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: absolutely out of his mind there, he's out of his mind. 101 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: What if people tell you, I know, you have the 102 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: highest Venezuelan population or constituency in the US. What are 103 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: they saying those people refugees from Venezuela to you about 104 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: life in Venezuela today, Because they could be one of 105 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: the richest countries unearthed themselves, but because of all the 106 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: political corruption and this murdering thug dictator in charge, the 107 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: people are suffering mightily there. Yeah, Well, Venezuela is actually, 108 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 1: you know, probably could be the richest country in South America. 109 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: It's they're full of natural resources. They used to pump 110 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: about two million gallons of oil a day. Because of 111 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: the corruption, and then incompetence they can only do about 112 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand now and so even that's sorting their economy. 113 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: And so the people of Venezuela are flocking to you know, 114 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: are flocking the United States. A lot of them end 115 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: up in Miami. They're good, hard working people. They wish 116 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: they could go back to their country, but they can't 117 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: because of this, the corruptive regime that they have, the 118 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: suppressive regime that they have, lack of basic rights, and 119 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: so you know, again, the Biden administration would even be 120 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: talking to these people, is you know, is beyond the 121 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: realm of I mean of why you would do that, 122 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: I don't know. And then my constituents in South Florida 123 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: are looking at it very closely. That's why in the 124 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: last election it swung so far to the right, swunging 125 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: in our direction. Part of Florida are you representing, I 126 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: represent with southwest Miami, Date and all of Monroe County 127 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: and UH and so you know, I've got a good 128 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: about seventy percent of my constituents or Hispanic many of 129 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: them came from either Venezuela in Nicaragua, Cuba, you know, 130 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: those countries that have been oppressed and they understand what 131 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: socialism is about and they want no part of it. 132 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: And they understand what this administration is doing, and they're 133 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: doing nothing to to help the UH for you know, 134 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: the cause of freedom in Central and South America and 135 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: in the Caribbean, and they're doing everything and this administration 136 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: apparently is doing everything inspired to prop up those those 137 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: regimes that are pressing their people. So many of the 138 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: counties in deep South Florida that have had historically voted 139 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: blue they went red this time. What happened. What happened 140 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: is we've gotten again. We've got an influx of people 141 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: that come from these countries and understand exactly what socials about. 142 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: They understand what censorship is all about, the lack of 143 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: basic freedoms, and they understand that what the Biden administration 144 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: is doing is not helping our cause for freedom in 145 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: any way, shape or form. They've seen this movie before 146 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: and they don't want to repeat it again. That's why 147 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: they've gone to the Republican side. That's why we had 148 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: such a sweeping win in Florida. Look at my own district. 149 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,839 Speaker 1: My district voted at sixteen percent for Hillary Clinton in 150 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. In two and twenty, they voted about four 151 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: percent for President Trump. And in this election, I won 152 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: that election by twenty eight points, Sean, So they can 153 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: see how it swung to the right. Miami Dad really 154 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: really underperforming. I think you should be really ashamed by 155 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 1: those numbers. That's awful. Yeah, yeah. And then what happened? 156 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 1: What happened with the governor, right, I mean, the Miami 157 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: Dade County of voted for Biden in twenty twenty by 158 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: seven points, and we if we voted, you know again 159 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: before we voted for dessentis this time. So you can 160 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,079 Speaker 1: see this shift is not only in my district in 161 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: Miami Dade County, but all of Miami Dade County is 162 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: now it now turned red. And that's all due to 163 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: these policies. It's all due to the fact that we 164 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: Republicans have a better solutions, that we really represent the 165 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: working men and women, and we represent the values that 166 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: the citizens of Miami Dade County and state of Florida 167 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: really want. So I'm talking a lot about what I'm 168 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: calling accelerated migration, and that it's a combination of baby 169 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 1: boomers hitting retirement age and also people that are fed 170 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: up with high taxes, an incredible burdensome bureaucracy, people fed 171 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: up with COVID shutdowns. They want their kids to have 172 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: in person learning, etc. But the leaving states like Pennsylvania 173 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: and states like Wisconsin, and states like Michigan and those states. 174 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: The people that are leaving and going to Florida or 175 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: the Carolinas or Texas or to see but most of 176 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: them are going to Florida. You're taking in about eight 177 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,839 Speaker 1: hundred new residents a day. How is Florida dealing with 178 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: this mass migration. I think we're dealing where they find. 179 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: But most of those people are hard working people are 180 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: coming down to the state of Florida find opportunity, and 181 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 1: they do find opportunity. You know, Florida is growing. It's 182 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: it's a pro business state. We have no state income tax, 183 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 1: we have a great governor, legislature is controlled by the 184 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,839 Speaker 1: Republican Party, so it's very very much pro business. And 185 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: also we kind of adhere to the values of the 186 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: people that are coming down to South Florida. Look, one 187 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 1: of the things I was afraid of is that, yeah, 188 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: we had all these people coming from New York and 189 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,719 Speaker 1: all those other Blue states, and where they bringing in 190 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: the politics with them? Well, apparently they are, but they 191 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: happen to be Republicans for the most part. So I 192 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: think they're the ones likely to get out of there 193 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: because they've had it and they want to get in. 194 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: They want to live in a free state like Florida. 195 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: I don't blame them, Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, So you know, 196 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 1: I was afraid that it was you know that some 197 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: of the some of the folks that are more more 198 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: liberal leanings were coming down to Florida to escape and 199 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: then bring the politics nown. But I don't think it's happening. 200 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: I think they're actually we, for the first time have 201 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: more Republicans registered in the state of Florida than Democrats. 202 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: That's never happened in Florida history. It was a turnaround 203 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: of about five hundred thousand from the election in two eighteen, 204 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 1: So from two eighteen to two twenty two, we had 205 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: about three hundred thousand more Democrats than Republicans, and now 206 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: we know that's flipped over. So I think it's about 207 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand or three hundred thousand and more Republicans 208 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 1: and Democrats. That's not good news for the Democrats. Well, 209 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: we appreciate you at you and what you're doing. Congressman 210 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: Carlos Amenez, thank you so much, Florida's twenty sixth district. 211 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: Thank you. It's my pleasure. Son. Have a good one, 212 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: all right, as we get to our busy phones ross Nebraska. 213 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: You're next on the Sean Hannity Show.

Well, I got I want to talk 216 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 1: to you a little bit about what's going on with 217 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 1: the rail unions and what's going on on a Washington 218 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: DC and stuff with the boats and everything, because you know, 219 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: I've kind of been with him for a major railroad 220 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 1: here in the United States for about almost twenty four years. 221 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 1: But first off, I got to give a shout out 222 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,200 Speaker 1: to my dad because he told us one time. He says, man, 223 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: if I could he just turn an eighty, he says, man, 224 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: if I could have another kid at the Christmas table, 225 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: that true would be Sean Hannity. Oh, man, what a 226 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: compliment that is. Well, if your dad listen and tell you, Dad, 227 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 1: I said, thank you, and hi Dad, how are you? 228 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: And you may well be careful what you wish for. 229 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 1: I was a pretty incorrigible kid growing up. Oh yeah, well, 230 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: you know he's ex Navy vet and you know he 231 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: survived pancreatic cancer and you know, so he's a fighter 232 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,239 Speaker 1: and he's a good guy. And the way surviving pancreatic 233 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: cancer is no easy feat. My dad died from that. Yeah, well, 234 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: he had a he had a doctor that was young 235 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: and ambitious and said he could go in and get it, 236 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: and he got it and he's doing great. Oh that's 237 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: great news. I'll tell you, Dad, I said, Hi, I will, 238 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: I will. Sean just wanted to let you know a 239 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,199 Speaker 1: little bit about what's you know, the union and things 240 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 1: of that nature. We've I've been working for the railroad 241 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: for almost twenty four years and seen a lot of 242 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: changes coming, you know, down the pike over the years. 243 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: And you know, we've had different union agreements anywhere from 244 00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: five percent race to eight percent race to nine percent rais. 245 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: And this is the first time in a long time 246 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: I've seen anything, you know, this huge come down the pike. 247 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: As far as a twenty four percent raise, twenty four 248 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,719 Speaker 1: percent raise average worker will get, and I'm sure that 249 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: includes you eleven thousand dollars in a bonus check. Sounds 250 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: like a pretty good offer to me. Doesn't sound like 251 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: an unfair offer. No, I don't think it's unfair at all. So, 252 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: you know, it'll be interesting to see what the vote 253 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: comes down to as far as like what they do 254 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: in Washington. But I think what a lot of your 255 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: you know, people don't understand is that, you know, even 256 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: though we're a union shop, I don't think people quite 257 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: understand that a lot of the guys that I work 258 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: with were more conservative and independent than we are Democrats anywhere, 259 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: because we kind of feel like we've been left behind 260 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: as far as you know, work and unions and things 261 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: like that, just for the simple fact that you know, 262 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: with guys like Biden and Obama and people like that, 263 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,719 Speaker 1: they we feel like we've we've been left behind. And 264 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, they always say the we're the party for 265 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 1: the worker, we do this and that, and honestly, I 266 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,439 Speaker 1: just honestly believe that that is dead and buried. I 267 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: don't think that's even an issue anymore. They don't, you know, 268 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: that they're not for the worker anymore. You know, I 269 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: look at the Democratic Party is the party of coastal 270 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: elites and Republican the Republican Party needs to be the 271 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: party for working men and women in this country, the 272 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: people that really do make America great. I'll put it 273 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 1: to you this way to Shan. You know, as a 274 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: railway company, our job is to ship fossil fuels all 275 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 1: over the country, potentially to be shipped all over the world. 276 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: We had the cleanest coal that has ever been burned. 277 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: We have enough in the Powder River basin for anywhere 278 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: from one hundred and fifty to two hundred years of 279 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: consistent use for us to be able to use to 280 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 1: send our if our preface we ship at the China, 281 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 1: we ship it all over the world. So what our 282 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: members are wondering is why would we consistently vote for 283 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: people that want to get rid of all fossil fuels 284 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: so that we don't haul oil out of the Balkans anymore, 285 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: out of North Dakota, we don't bring any more coal 286 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: out of the Potter River basin. And that's what we 287 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: do for a living, and that's what our jobs are. 288 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: And that's where they're kind of losing us, if you 289 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Does that make anything? That's where 290 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: the rank and file are out of touch with and 291 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: in agreement with union leadership. You raise a great point, 292 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this is why. If herschel Walker 293 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: can win this race, and it's not going to be 294 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: easy in Georgia, and I know there's a heavy turnout, 295 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 1: there is a chance, I believe, to make a run 296 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: at Joe Mansion. Because Joe Mansion has been screwed over 297 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: by his own party. And if Joe Biden and the 298 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: Democrats have their way, they will destroy the economy of 299 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: West Virginia. I gotta run say hi to all our 300 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: fellow railroad workers. I hope it works out for everybody. Everybody. 301 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: I want you to get your raise. If in fact, 302 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: this strike goes on, we're all gonna feel it badly. 303 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: That's how important the job is that all of you 304 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 1: do every day. So thank you for what you do. 305 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: Exposing left wing media bias. No stone left unturned to 306 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show is back on the air at twenty 307 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: five to the top of the hour, toll free.

Greg is in the 310 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 1: great state of Michigan. I hope one day will once 311 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,400 Speaker 1: again be read anyway, Greg, glad you called what's on 312 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: your mind? U. I want to talk about fuel prices, 313 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: the one thing nobody's noticed. I mean, we're been over 314 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: before COVID. You'll be breaking up a little bit on me. 315 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: Let me start from the beginning. I didn't hear everything 316 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: you said. We do talk to a lot of trucks 317 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 1: on this program. What were you saying? I was talking 318 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: about the fuel prices pre COVID regular gasoline and diesel 319 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 1: were right around the same price. Host COVID, we were 320 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,560 Speaker 1: paying a dollar a gallon more. Now Biden cut the 321 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: prices back on fuel gasoline and we want we all 322 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden jumped up another dollar. So now there's 323 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: a two dollars difference between regular gasoline and diesel. And 324 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: what are you paying now for diesel? Five fifty six 325 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: bucks a gallon? Right, yes, sir, yeah, okay. It's killing 326 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: the trucking industry, although I understand things have picked up 327 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 1: in the last week and a half or two weeks. 328 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 1: I have friends in the trucking business. However, I do 329 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: know people in trucking that have decided to put their 330 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 1: fleets down for the time being because it's not worth them. 331 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: It's not worth the wear and tear that they're putting 332 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: on their trucks because they're not getting paid enough. Exactly exactly, So, 333 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 1: are you an independent owner operator or you work for 334 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: a company. I work for a company, but I rent 335 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: a truck at fourteen hundred a week, right, So now 336 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,719 Speaker 1: do you pay for the diesel or do they pay? Yep, 337 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: I pay, I pay the whole diesel, build everything. So 338 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: that means you're making less money per run or per 339 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 1: week than you were making prior to this. Increase. Oh yeah, 340 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 1: oh yeah, we have a we have a shortage of diesel. 341 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: It's nationwide. We know all about it. And we don't 342 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 1: have enough refinery capacity to catch up. And it could 343 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: become an even bigger problem. And if we have the 344 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: rail strike, God help us all. We're not going to 345 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 1: have anything in any store we go to. The shelves 346 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: will be empty. Diesel's easiest fuel to refine. Exactly. It's 347 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,640 Speaker 1: a great point. Now, well you have a good sense 348 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: of humor about it, but it's not funny. You know, 349 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 1: a lot of truckers now are going to be out 350 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: of work. I know two trucking companies that went out 351 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,479 Speaker 1: of business because it's not worth it to them anymore. Right, 352 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not exactly the biggest margin business that 353 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: there is out there. Now you have a little boom 354 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 1: and bus times in the trucking industry. But if you 355 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 1: run the company right, you can still make money on 356 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: a run. But I'll tell you it's it's harder than 357 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: it's ever been. It's too bad. It's and by the way, 358 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: all of it preventable. You know, we wore energy independent. 359 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: We're not anymore. You can thank your President Joe for this. 360 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, they're a president. Joe. I don't have 361 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: a president right now. Mine's on the sidelines. Joe doesn't 362 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: even know that he's president. That's how bad he is. 363 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: All right, my friend, Well hang in there. But thank 364 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: you for what you do every day. I really do 365 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 1: sympathize with you guys, and you know, for the hard 366 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: work you do. It's a hard job being a trucker. 367 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: You know, you're banging out those miles every single day 368 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: and you're not making the money you used to make, 369 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: and it's not fair. And we expect to go into 370 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: every store and we expect every shelf to be filled, 371 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: and it's not. We can't blame you guys. You're doing 372 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: your part, but you got to be able to make 373 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: money doing it. Anyway, Greg, hanging there, buddy, I mean 374 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 1: so with Linda, it's awful. How many truckers have we 375 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:03,439 Speaker 1: heard from? How many we heard from? Honestly, it's been 376 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: the highlight of the show for me. I have really 377 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 1: enjoyed hearing from the people that are actually doing the work. 378 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: We have such a diverse audience and it's been so 379 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: nice to hear about, you know, their process, how it works, 380 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 1: what they're doing what they're you know, because I think 381 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 1: it's it's educational, like you need to know where your 382 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: food is coming from, who's who's doing it, and how 383 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 1: it's being manipulated by your own government, and what that 384 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: actually means to you. You know, the end line of 385 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: the consumer there. I mean, could you imagine if you 386 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 1: went to your store and you couldn't get the ingredients 387 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: for that disgusting puke green and wait orange drink that 388 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: you drink. I tell you, I'm gonna tell you a 389 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,479 Speaker 1: true story Wednesday night. The true story Wednesday night night 390 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving, I was hosting, and I made everything from scratch, 391 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: and I food shopped always day when I got home 392 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: from the studio, so I'm in massive traffic get to 393 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 1: the store. I went to not one, not to but twelve, 394 00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: twelve grocery stores, all different surrounding community, trying to find 395 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,440 Speaker 1: half and half heavy cream stuff that you use in 396 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: like cream, spinach, mashed potatoes, pies, whatever. I could not 397 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 1: find it your house. I would have gained forty pounds. 398 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: But keep going, listen, we're a feeding fifteen people. We 399 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: had a lot of people here. But all that to say, 400 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,239 Speaker 1: I talked to the managers, and I was like, that's 401 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: time I get to like the fifth store. I stopped 402 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: and one of the managers, I see a lot, and 403 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: I said, tell me what is going on. He's I'm 404 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,719 Speaker 1: gonna tell you right now. He's like, I can't get anything. 405 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: Nobody has it. It's a hot mess. And then I 406 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: went up and down the aisles and like I said 407 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: the other day, you know, it's like there's no baby food, 408 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 1: there's still no baby formula. You know, they don't have 409 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: the kids medicines. I'm like, I feel, I cannot believe 410 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 1: in this nation, where we have the most developed opportunities 411 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: and technologies, that we are willfully destroying ourselves and literally 412 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,120 Speaker 1: capitulating to something less than we are. It's so bad. 413 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 1: When these farmers call, and these truckers call, and anybody 414 00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: in the supply chain calls and tells us about these problems, 415 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: they all say the same thing. It's gonna get worse. 416 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: The price of meat is going to go higher. The 417 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 1: price of you know, every item you buy and every 418 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: story you go to is going to get higher, and 419 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: the worst is yet to come. I believe them over 420 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: these idiot economists that you think they know everything and 421 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: they're wrong. Usually, you know, eighty percent of the time, 422 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: these economists don't have a clue, and they're also not 423 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 1: being honest when they do have a clue because it 424 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: doesn't serve them. Some folks have raised worries that this 425 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: could be a sign of persistent inflation, but that's not 426 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: our view. Over time, as the economists turning back on, 427 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: we'd see some of these transitory effects. That's a way, 428 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 1: that's what's been predicted. I'm not saying that this is 429 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: a one month phenomenon, but I think over the medium 430 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: term will see inflation declined back toward normal levels. All 431 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: of the economists that the President has been relying on 432 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,400 Speaker 1: suggests that there is a transitory nature nature to the inflation. 433 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: These one time increases in prices are likely to have 434 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 1: only transitory effects on inflation. Economs call all these things 435 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: transitory effects. Their expectation is that these inflation rises will 436 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: be transitory, that they will come back down next year, 437 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: and that one of the best things we can do 438 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 1: is pass his agenda. The President, in my vision for 439 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: the future also means lowering costs for Americans. Today, we 440 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: learned that last month our economy had zero percent inflation. 441 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: I just want to say a number zero. Today we 442 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: received news that our economy had zero percent inflation in 443 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: the month of July. Zero percent. Well, absolutely, and he 444 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 1: is pushing forward. And again I would note that the 445 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: inflation data in July was zero point zero, zero point zero, 446 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 1: So we are seeing inflation decrease. Forecasting is by its 447 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: nature is something that is a little bit uncertain. What 448 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 1: we know is that that's political spin. Well, look, I 449 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,720 Speaker 1: don't think anybody could argue that, for example, our unemployment 450 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: numbers or anything but strong as hell. They're under four percent. 451 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: That almost never happens. We're at or near the definition 452 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: of full employment. We also don't have any illusions about 453 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 1: the challenges that Americans face with prices, the former economic way, 454 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: about the strength of the dollars right now. I'm not 455 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: concerned about the strengths of EVOLU. I'm concerned about the 456 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 1: rest of the world. Yes, our economy is prayers hell 457 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:33,680 Speaker 1: in the internal equations worldwide corsol everyone else who lives 458 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: in the United States. So problem is any black grow 459 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: sound policies in other countries not as much fun that 460 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: it's worldwide inquations. Consequent the economy, we are making progress 461 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 1: on the economy. It's not just the GDP numbers you mentioned. 462 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 1: The economy did grow. Inside that as a measure of price, 463 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: it came down dramatically, some easing on inflation. Inside that 464 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: also is a measure about real incomes. After inflation that 465 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: was negative last quarter two quarters ago, it's positive in 466 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: this new report. So incomes up, prices down, economic growth, 467 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: and the thing that's most visible to people is what 468 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 1: they're seeing with gas prices. You know, just two weeks 469 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: ago the most common pump prices in America was three 470 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 1: seventy nine. It's now down to three thirty nine. So 471 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: our first messages we're seeing some improvements. Secondly, we know 472 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 1: there's more work to do. Inflation remains the number one 473 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: economic challenge. So the economy is up, price inflation is down, 474 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: real incomes are up, Gas prices are down and need 475 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: to come down further. Exports are all also up, which 476 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: means a simple thing, we're making a lot of money 477 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: in America because of that. Yeah, just like with COVID, 478 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 1: good point. Let's go to anyway, appreciate the call. Let's 479 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: go to Drew Is in Texas. What's up, Drew? How 480 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: are you glad you called, sir, how you doing jump? 481 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: So what I want to touch on was I think 482 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 1: everyone is super hyper focused on the TikTok thing, and 483 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: what I think people have failed to realize is the 484 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: issue of data farming going back to China has been 485 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: occurring now for you know, years and years. The Department 486 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 1: of Homeland Security a few years ago put out a 487 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:24,639 Speaker 1: few articles that several of the consumer made drones that 488 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 1: the biggest company in drone technology creates was actively sending 489 00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: analytics and immediate data back to China. So every time 490 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: someone puts one of those little consumer grade drones up 491 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 1: in the air, or or one of the industrial grade drones, 492 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: it's actively spying on citizens of this country. And again 493 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: it got to the point it's it's so bad that 494 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security has touched on this and 495 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 1: actually said that none of the drones made by that 496 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 1: manufacturer can be flown over any form of critical infrastructure. 497 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: You know, look, I don't doubt any of this is happening. 498 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: I think we can be a very naive and very 499 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: stupid country at times. Donald Trump warned us about TikTok 500 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: two years ago. Now Mark Warner has joined in a Democrat. Now, 501 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: Christy Nome, who was on yesterday, is telling us, if 502 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 1: you work for the state of South Dakota, you can't 503 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: have TikTok on your phone. And I don't blame them. 504 00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: I think the Chinese are a hostile regime. I think 505 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: I'm really nervous about why they're buying up farmland in 506 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: the US, why they're buying up ranch land in the US, 507 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: why they're buying land near military bases in the US. 508 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: There's no good reason for them to be doing this. 509 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: We're not allowed to do it there. Why are we 510 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,000 Speaker 1: allowing them to do it here? And that needs to stop. 511 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: But unfortunately, in my view, we have a president that's 512 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 1: completely compromised with China because of the business dealings of 513 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: his son, with the one point five billion dollars deal 514 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 1: with the Bank of China. Then of course you have 515 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: the five million dollars zero interest for able loan. Ever 516 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: hear of those terms, I'd love What do you love 517 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 1: those terms, Drew? I'd love those loan terms. You want 518 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: to forgiveable loan? Okay, give me the five million no interest, 519 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: forgive me because I'm not giving it back to you. Okay, 520 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,440 Speaker 1: it's forgivable, you get to keep it. And then, of 521 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: course the hundred thousand dollars Hunter Biden family shopping spree. 522 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think the president's compromised by China, 523 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 1: by Russia, by a whole host of countries. His actions 524 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: are inexplicable. You don't cancel the Keystone XIL pipeline and 525 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: give a waiver to Vladimir Putin or the nord Stream 526 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: two pipeline. You just don't do things like that. It's 527 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: it's it just doesn't add up to me. Hopefully these 528 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: hearings by James Comer will will reveal a lot of 529 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: the syndicate and what they're doing, and how much money 530 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: they made, and how involved Joe really was, because I 531 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: think he's up to his eyeballs in it. Guy, I 532 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: completely agree. But I think a lot of all of 533 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 1: these hearings and investigations are going to come to the 534 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: exact same conclusion that the pedophiles and the evil people 535 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: that they visited Epstein's Island are going to come to 536 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: nothing because these people are too big to fail, and 537 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 1: those who are running the courts or running the investigations 538 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 1: are the ones that have their hands dirty. Well, I'll 539 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: tell you I don't expect much either. That's unfortunate, but 540 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 1: hopefully the American people will learn what they need to 541 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: learn and then at that point it's you know, their 542 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: decision to make whether the future of the country is 543 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: headed anyway. Appreciate it. Thanks for eight hundred ninety four one. Sean. 544 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: You want to be a part of the program? Oklahoma? 545 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: And is it? Aiden? Aiden is standing by? How are you? 546 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 1: I'm doing great, Sean? How are you doing today? I'm 547 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: good man. You're an old oaky. What's going on? So 548 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: I kind of have a point and a question them 549 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: to ask. Yeah, so number one is about the possible 550 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: rail strike. So so it's kind of a lose lose 551 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: for everyone involved, not only the companies, unions, the government, 552 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: but but for the aerate American as well. Like here 553 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma, like prices of gone down a little bit 554 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: in the last I don't know week or so. Yeah, 555 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 1: Like like the other day I paid two eighty nine 556 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 1: for gas, shocking right for you. Yeah, I don't think 557 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: it's I don't think it's gonna last because again, we're 558 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: relying on other countries in terms of output and the 559 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: supply that's going to be available on the world market. 560 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: We don't need to be beholden to them. That's the 561 00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 1: whole point. You know, we're at the mercy of what 562 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,040 Speaker 1: they decide to do. And it didn't work out particularly 563 00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 1: well for Western Europe. Europe by becoming dependent on Vladimir 564 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 1: Putin for energy, I don't think it's gonna work out 565 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: for us either. Right, that's gonna wrap things up. Today. 566 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 1: We got a great Hannity nine Eastern on the Fox 567 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 1: News Channel, Jim Jordan, Ari Fleischer, Stephen Miller, Herschel Walker 568 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: with Lindsey Graham, Tonight, the great One, Mark Levin, and 569 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: comedian Jimmy Faylo Ninetiestern say you DVR Hannity Fox News. 570 00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: We'll see you tonight.
