1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: Night Hour two, Sean Hannity showed twenty five days you

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: get to hopefully get the country begin the process of

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: getting the country back on track. Things couldn't be any worse.

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's an amazing thing to spin. You know this.

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:19,640
Speaker 1: This is nine consecutive months over eight percent inflation. Remember

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: Joe Biden inherited an inflation rate gross domes the product

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: at one point four percent. You know, you look at

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: everything you buy, every store you go to, and it

9
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: is a reminder of this failure. Now, the worst part

10
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: of this, too, is that they are lying to us,

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: and have been lying to us the entire time. They

12
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 1: lied when they said it was transitory. They lied when

13
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: they said today's inflation number zero, it's it's zero. No,

14
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: it was eight point five percent. It wasn't zero, And

15
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: they kept saying it. Joe said it not once, not,

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: he said it repeatedly. Kamala Harris said it repeatedly, you know.

17
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: And and yeah, it's only it's only the point two percent,

18
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: Joe says. I'm like, no, Joe, it's the ninth consecutive

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 1: month that we have a forty year high of inflation.

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: And then as a result, now we have thirty year

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: fixed rate mortgages, you know, going now up to seven percent.

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: And when we get the next rate hike, probably another

23
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: seventy five basis points, and it's going to be eight percent.

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: And if it keeps going this way, you'll have double

25
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: digit interest rates and then the economy, oh, it'll slow down,

26
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: and many Americans then we'll find themselves out of work,

27
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: and not the Americans that don't want to work. Here's

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: Joe Just. This is the last nine months of just.

29
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: That's the same line, the same blame, blame Trump, blame

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: putin blame anybody but yourself and your stupid economic policies,

31
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: your new Green Deal socialism. You're idiotic, imbecilic energy dependency

32
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: plan that you have, which is, oh, well, we'll we'll

33
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: save the plan. We're gonna switch transition to renewable energy.

34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: What renewable energy? The technology that they're talking about for

35
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: the amount of energy we need is not in existence,

36
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 1: won't be for the next foreseeable future, for the next

37
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: twenty years that I can see. But he you know,

38
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: but we won't. We won't drill domestically, we won't frac domestically.

39
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: We don't produce energy domestically. We'll just import it, oh

40
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: from countries that hate US, Saudi Arabia, OH pack plus.

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: The plus is Russia. Venezuela will beg the Iranians. It

42
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: is bad for national security. We're losing high paying career

43
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 1: jobs in the energy sector. And then, of course you're

44
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: paying record prices at the gas pump. Told you that

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: we're going back up, told you he artificially reduced it

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: by putting our national security at risk and tapping into

47
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: half of the strategic petroleum reserves that's now at nearly

48
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: a fifty year low. That was a dumb idea. That's

49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: for an emergency. Democrats losing elections is not an emergency

50
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 1: only to him, it's just it's insane. But here colinalize

51
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: the excuses on queue. Listen, we saw to day's inflation

52
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: data of the increase in prices in March came from

53
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: Putin's price hike in gasoline. We expect March CPA CPI

54
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: headline inflation to be extraordinarily elevated due to Putin's price

55
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: hike right now, and again, part of that justice is

56
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: lowering cost right now. Of course, we had the Putin

57
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: price hike at the pump. Inflation is a real issue.

58
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: A lot of it is having to do with the

59
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: COVID and supply chains and now Putin's gas tax essentially

60
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: by virtue of his invasion of Ukraine. So clearly we

61
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: are and Americans are struggling with inflation. But I don't

62
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: think anyone predicted Putin's war in Ukraine. The cause of

63
00:03:56,160 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: this inflation is the supply chain problems that were caused

64
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: by COVID. We're still struggling with one excuse after the other.

65
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: Never mind the transitory life anyway. David Sokolos with US,

66
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: author of America in Perspective, defending the American dream for

67
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: the next generation, which by the way, I'm deeply concerned about.

68
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: I am making the case, David, and you tell me

69
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. You're an economist, you know the economy

70
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: as well as anybody I know. I'm making the case

71
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: that we have unilaterally disarmed economically by abandoning energy independence.

72
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: It is sacrificing national security, it is killing off high

73
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: paying career jobs. It is one of the driving forces

74
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: of inflation. We're now paying double what we've paid per

75
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: gallon per gasoline when Donald Trump was president, and it's

76
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: going to go higher again. It's already up to six

77
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: to fifty a gallon on average in California. It's going

78
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: to be back up at five dollars a gallon. I

79
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: told everybody the strategic Reserves was a band aid. You

80
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: tell me what you think. Well, first of all, Sean,

81
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on, and you're exactly right. Um.

82
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: Add to that, you know, back in twenty twenty, you know,

83
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: some some form of stimulus to offset the fact that

84
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: the government was kind of mandatorily shutting down the economy

85
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: probably made sense. We could debate how much. But but

86
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: then this the two trillion dollars, for instance, that were

87
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: thrown into the economy last year, plus the three quarters

88
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: of the trillion dollars totally falsely named earlier this year

89
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: of the inflation reduction of ACT. I assume you're not

90
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: using that name anymore given given the results. But you know,

91
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: when you throw that much money in, and then you're

92
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: expecting the fellow reserve to be able to control inflation

93
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: through interest rates, Well, they have to try, but the

94
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: administration has got to stop throwing fuel on the fire

95
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: on the other side. And then your point about you know,

96
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: we have a force fed energy prices. America today to

97
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: be producing two million barrel equivalent more a day had

98
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: the Biden policy has just not been put in place.

99
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: You know, you can't get elected telling people I'm going

100
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: to put you out of business, oil company, I'm gonna

101
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: put you out of business, gas company, because they're going

102
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: to believe you, particularly since you've pretty much put coal

103
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: businesses out of business and and so you know they're

104
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: not going to be there when you need them. And

105
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: it's all part of this insane environmental strategy that has

106
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: no plan. Just basically the strategy is make fossil fuels

107
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: so expensive that people will think you're doing them a

108
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: favor by forcing to buy electric cars. You know, if

109
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: you really want to attaxio to put together a plan,

110
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: get the American people to buy into a consensus, then

111
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: get the rest of the world to buy in. Don't

112
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,359
Speaker 1: just you know, bankrupt America with no effect to the climate.

113
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: If China and India and everyone else can participate. You know,

114
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: it's amazing when you ut a lot of disarm I

115
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: find this whole thing humiliating, and now it's taken on

116
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: a whole new significance. What are your thoughts on what

117
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia put out in terms of their statement the

118
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs exposing the fact

119
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: that not only did the Kingdom and OPEC plus meaning

120
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Russia with OPEC, not only did they deny the request

121
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden to increase production, they are decreasing it

122
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: and Joe Biden, They revealed, the government of the Kingdom

123
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: clarified through its continuous consultation with US the US administration,

124
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: all economic analysis indicate postponing the OPEC plus decision for

125
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: a month according to what has been suggested, meaning Joe asked,

126
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Joe is asking, would have had negative economic consequences. And

127
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: they further went on to say that the Kingdom stresses

128
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: that while it strives to preserve strength in its relations

129
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: with friendly countries, it affirms its rejection of any dick

130
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: takes actions or efforts to distort its noble objectives to

131
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: protect the global economy from oil market volatility, and the

132
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: Kingdom of firms that its view of its relationship of

133
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: the US as a strategic one that serves the common

134
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: interests of both countries. They exposed Joe Biden basically said,

135
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: delay the announcement, delay the cut, which he knew they

136
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: were was coming until after the midterm elections. That sounds

137
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: like he's colluding with the Saudis, with OPEC plus meaning

138
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: OPEC Nations and Russia, and he's trying to get them

139
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: to do him a favor before the election. Yeah. I agree.

140
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: I mean, last time I checked, it was illegal to

141
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: get foreign governments to be involved in US elections. And

142
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: there's obviously no reason other than that that the President

143
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: would be asking Saudi raved to delay the reduction. The

144
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: reality is this administration once higher oil prices, they just

145
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: don't one them when it's inconvenient from an election perspective

146
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: that every voter out there should be paying attention that

147
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: he didn't ask them not to make the cuts. He hasn't,

148
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: you know, done things in America to help our production

149
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: increased off centeral prices. He actually want high roll prices.

150
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: And he was basically telling the American population and particularly

151
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: those in lower income and middle income, I don't care

152
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: that you're paying more for the pump. I just don't

153
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: want it to affect these these elections coming up in

154
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: November that that should be allowed. Message. That sounds like

155
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: he's colluding with foreign countries to influence the outcome of

156
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: our election. I thought, if Donald Trump did this, what

157
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: do you think the reaction of the medium mob would be?

158
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: And Democrats would be well, they would go crazy, just

159
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: as they did with the lies from the Clinton campaign

160
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: about Russian collusion. It didn't exist. They knew it didn't exist.

161
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: And that's we've got to get back to holding people

162
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: accountable because this type of manipulation of elections is going

163
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 1: to destroy our republic if we're not careful. All right,

164
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: quick break more with David's Sokol, the author of American Perspective,

00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,720

167
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,480

168
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: Bullduck and how he's doing, and can the Republicans pick

169
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 1: up a seat in New Hampshire for the Senate. We'll

170
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: get to that anyway. Look, with the cooler weather, it

171
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: may be tempting to cozy up, but there's something about fall.

00:11:39,160 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: right now. Why we continue? David sokol Is with US,

194
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: author of American perspective defending the American dream for the

195
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: next generation. You know, it's it's pretty unbelievable that this

196
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: is where we now find ourselves. These all of these

197
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: problems we're now facing were so preventable. We didn't we

198
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: didn't need a forty one year higher inflation. We don't

199
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: need to double our gas prices and even going higher.

200
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: But you're right, they chose these policies. And what amazes

201
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: me is there's no u The era of big government

202
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: is over, the end of welfare as we know at moment.

203
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: For Biden, in his future that I can see, I

204
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: think he is beholden to this this radical transition to

205
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 1: renewable philosophy, in spite of the fact that the technology

206
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: h is not there to provide the lifeblood of the

207
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: economy like fossil fuels does. That's it. They're they're they're

208
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: living in a fantasy world, and they're making every American

209
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: paid dearly because of their adherence to this religious cult

210
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: of climate that they believe in. Well, and you could

211
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: only assume they're doing it to cause a major disruption

212
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: in our economy so that they can enact additional ways

213
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: to control and take power away from the people. The

214
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: reason that Adam and I wrote the book American Perspective

215
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: is to remind people that our founding fathers were brilliant

216
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: and they put checks and balances into our system, and

217
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: those checks and balances are being eroded every day by

218
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: this president and a Democratic Party, sadly, and we've got

219
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: to stand up. I had a conversation yesterday a thirty

220
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: one year old approach means someone had known, but he said, David,

221
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: why are you opposed to the president giving away ten

222
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: and twenty thousand dollars for tuition payment and for giving

223
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 1: those loans? And I said, well, let me ask you

224
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: a question. If the president raised your interest rate two,

225
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: would you be good with that? Well, he doesn't have

226
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: the right to do that, But where does he have

227
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: the right to forgive your loans? Those are by dollars,

228
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 1: your dollars, they're every taxpayer dollars. He has to have

229
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: Congress's authority to spend that money. Now, you wouldn't like

230
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: it if he raised interest rates, but you're fine with him.

231
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: And the individual actually said, gush, David, I never thought

232
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: about it that way. You're right, he either does have

233
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: the writer he doesn't. We've got to take away this

234
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 1: authoritarian mentality with the Democrats think they can just do it,

235
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: even though when the Court tells them they can't, and

236
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: even when Congress tells him they can't. Oh, you have

237
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: you have Democrats openly saying they're not going to agree

238
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: or bide by spring Court decisions, even the guidance on

239
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: dating ballots in Pennsylvania that the Court put out. We're

240
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: told that Pennsylvania officials are rejecting the Supreme Court's guidance,

241
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: just like other states are rejecting the Supreme Court's opinion

242
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: on the Second Amendment, just like Joe Biden bypassing coequal

243
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: branches of government and the legislative process and the legislative

244
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: branch by just, you know, unilaterally by executive FIAT saying

245
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: we're going to forgive student loans, and that's being challenged

246
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 1: in the courts. I think he will lose, But the

247
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: fact that he's doing it, trying to do it in

248
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: that authoritarian way, as you say, is scary to me. Yeah.

249
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: And he's doing it knowing he can't do it. He

250
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: knows the Court will return this. But why is he

251
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: doing it to garner votes in November? If he gets

252
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: overturned in December or January. He doesn't care. You know,

253
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: that's a new chapter in American politics where we have

254
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: an administration that does things they know are woeful just

255
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: because it will be it will get them votes, and

256
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: then then it'll go away later and they'll say, oh, gee,

257
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: it's Republican's fault. The American people need to stand up.

258
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: And by the way, i'd say the exact same thing

259
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: if the Republican was in president. Yeah, I'm with you.

260
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: We really appreciate you being with us. David Sokol, author
