1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: Well, I'm coming to y'all city saying you a conscious 2 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: with all the desire and if you want a little 3 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: banging union, come along. If the technical definition is two 4 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: quarters of contraction, you're saying that's not a recession. That's 5 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: not the take, that's not the technical definition. In terms 6 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,440 Speaker 1: of the technical definition, it's not a recession. The technical 7 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 1: definition considers so much broader spectrum of data points. What 8 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: is exactly the White Houses definition of a recession? Again, 9 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: we don't We don't define. I'm not going to define 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: it from here. I don't think we're going to God willing. 11 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: I don't think we're reaching recession. Freedom is back in style. 12 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to the revolution. Yeah, where I'm coming to your site, 13 00:00:55,720 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: going to pay ours and saying you a conscious New 14 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show behind the scenes information on breaking news 15 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 1: and more bold inspired solutions for America. This is a 16 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: special edition of The Sean Hannity Show Amy Day number 17 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: three forty six and Day three fifty nine. Since Joey R. 18 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: President promised that he wouldn't abandon Americans, Green cardholders are 19 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: Afghan allies and billions of dollars and the most sophisticated 20 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: military weaponry technology in the world. But here we are 21 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: coming up on the one year mark and everybody pretty 22 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: much has turned the page except for us, and obviously 23 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: the families. They're scared to death about their family members. 24 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 1: We've played a lot yesterday that the administration is panicked. 25 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: They are in a full on panic. The Atlanta Fed 26 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: is predicting a contraction in the second quarter, meaning negative 27 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: growth to the economy of one point six percent, so 28 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: they're trying to get ahead of this, and they keep 29 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: it's not the technical definition of very recession. It's every 30 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: definition of a recession. Recession is defined as two consecutive 31 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: quarters of economic growth. Quarter number one, we will minus 32 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: one point six percent quarter number two, if the Atlanta 33 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 1: Fete is right, means will be a negative territory. Again, 34 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: is one point six one point five? Maybe one point oh, 35 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. But the bottom line is it is 36 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,119 Speaker 1: by anybody's rational definition, a recession. But they're all going 37 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: out there it's not the technical definition. Not the technical definition, 38 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden this week, We're not going to see a recession. 39 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: They're just lyne to us. Here's one interesting as we 40 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,200 Speaker 1: get into the real impact of all of this, I 41 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: want you to understand one thing that the Epic Times 42 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: is the only other place that I know is that 43 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: has talked about it. We've discussed it in the past. 44 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: All right, So they inherited one point four percent consumer 45 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: price index. Oh and I forgot to mention consumer confidence 46 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 1: came out today, you know, is now you know, at 47 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: a three month low. Again, how can anyone have any 48 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: confidence in the economy, record high gas prices, you know, 49 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: forty one year high of inflation. Joe Biden said, Oh 50 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 1: that we've we've hit the worst of it. That was 51 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: back in December at seven percent. Now at nine point 52 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: one percent. Inflation is only transitory. I mean they keep 53 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: moving the bar left, right, and sideways. Steve Moore will 54 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 1: join us later. You know what, we have to redefine everything. Now. 55 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: We're just going to redefine what a recession is because 56 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: their economic and energy policies have failed so miserably. Just like, oh, 57 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: now we're going to read what's peaceful? What do you 58 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: mean what's peaceful? How do we define war? Well, it 59 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,119 Speaker 1: might just be a minor incursion. What's a minor incursion? 60 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: To find a minor incursion? What's the definition of a woman? 61 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: We have to now debate what is a woman? Now? 62 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: Can actually asking questions in Congress? Can men get pregnant? Okay, 63 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: maybe I didn't learn that in my biology classes. Maybe 64 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: someday they can as of now according to my knowledge. No, 65 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: what's the definition of border security? Because ma Orcists keeps 66 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: saying the borders very secure? No, it's not. What does 67 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: transitory mean? Well, that could mean over a period of years, 68 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: because that's what transitory has become. You know, government never 69 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: spends your money, they invest your money. There's all investment. 70 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: We're investing in our future, you know, just like you know, 71 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: we're transitioning into an energy form that doesn't exist at 72 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: the capacity that could run our economy at a cost 73 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:54,159 Speaker 1: point that would be doable, viable for anybody. We're twenty 74 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: when we talk about transitioning away from fossil fuels, you're 75 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: taught talking about decades before they could ever achieve this insanity. 76 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to eliminate our addiction of fossil fuels. 77 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: Joe Bike, look me in the eye. I'm gonna eliminate it. Well, 78 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: he didn't say he said eliminated. He just meant eliminated 79 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: domestically because he has no problem doing business with Russia. 80 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: Last year they imported six and eighty four million barrels 81 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: of oil a million barrels of oil from Iran. We 82 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: haven't done that since the nineties. Nobody saw it until 83 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: we picked it up somewhere. Now he's willing to do 84 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: deals with let's see Iran, another dumb, stupid, idiotic deal 85 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: that's only gonna embolden in power and make them rich. 86 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 1: He's already made Russia rich. Now he's gonna make Venezuela 87 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: rich again and pull them out of the economic doom 88 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: and gloom they've They've put themselves in so much for collectivism, socialism. 89 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: Authoritarianism doesn't quite work, does it. Now he's gonna make 90 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia even richer, OPEC nations even richer. You know, 91 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: there's a story out today Russia announced. And you would 92 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 1: think we would have learned from the mistakes of NATO 93 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: allies and Western Europe, because they all made the mistake 94 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: they gave in to environmentalists. Now we discovered through reporting 95 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: and read numerous reports that environmental activist groups in Germany 96 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: were funded by Russia and by Putin, why so that 97 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: they would mothball which they did their coal fired plant 98 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: for their electric grid, and that then they would do 99 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: exactly what America's about to do and what America is doing, 100 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: and that would be end their own independence on energy 101 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: and rely on Vladimir Putin. They were making Russia rich 102 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: again billions of dollars in energy deals with Germany. Now 103 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: now Germany pissed off Russia because they've helped out Ukraine 104 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: after the invading of an invasion of a sovereign country 105 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: by Putin. Anyway, so Russia's you know, Russia said Monday 106 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: that they would further reduce their natural gas flow, in 107 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: other words, of shutting off the spicket through nord Stream one, 108 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: that pipeline to Europe to twenty percent of capacity. They 109 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: had already cut it down to forty percent capacity, and 110 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: the Russian state owned company tweeted they're going to reduce 111 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: the daily output of nord Stream one's pipeline to Germany 112 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: to thirty three million cubic meters as of Wednesday. As 113 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: of tomorrow, the head of Germany's network regulator confirmed the reduction, 114 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: so that basically have now cut in half the non 115 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: the nord Stream one was announced, but they had already 116 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: cut it to six by sixty percent in mid June, 117 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: so they're only in forty percent of what they had 118 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: been prior to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Now, what's the 119 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: lesson you should learn there? Don't rely on hostile regimes 120 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: for the lifeblood of your economy. We have hundreds of 121 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: years worth of oil, gas and coal available in this country. 122 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: We are an energy rich country. We shouldn't rely on Russia, Iran, Venezuela, 123 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia or OPEC. It's in our best national security 124 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: interest to remain energy independent. It'll reduce it'll create high 125 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: paying career jobs from millions of Americans. We could be 126 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: so filthy rich we wouldn't have to worry about the 127 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: inflation that Biden's causing because we could sell all our 128 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 1: extra natural gas. We can produce it at a level 129 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: we've never done before and send it over to our 130 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: allies in Western Europe. We'll make a fortune. We will 131 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: make will be We could cut taxes to next to nothing, 132 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: but of course nobody's smart enough to do that. That's 133 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: not gonna We're just gonna make the same mistakes that 134 00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: Western Europe made anyway. But if we used just as 135 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, and the Epic Times is the 136 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: only place that has pointed this out. Now, we've been 137 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 1: pointing out if you're an individual, Biden's inflation has costing 138 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: you thirty four a year. We've also discovered if you 139 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: drive a car too and from work on average Japan, 140 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: about another two grand a year because they've doubled the 141 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: gas prices, all gas prises have come down, it's still 142 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:16,839 Speaker 1: doubled what we were paying anyway. So they inherited a 143 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: CPI Consumer Price index of one point four percent the 144 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: measurement of inflation now where it's nine point one percent. 145 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: What's fascinating about this? And Trump actually made this point 146 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: when he gave his speech over the weekend in Arizona 147 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: Friday night in Arizona that if we used the inflation 148 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: calculations the way we calculated it in the nineteen eighties, 149 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: we'd be over seventeen percent. In other words, when calculated 150 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: according to the same methodology that the US government used 151 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: in the nineteen eighties, inflation would be at a seventy 152 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: five year high of seventeen point three percent. So they're 153 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: correct about that, you know. Trump also said he believes 154 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: the country's facing a much bigger problem than a recession. 155 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: Americans now face a combination of high inflation slow growth 156 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 1: that's known as stagflation, and they better brace for even 157 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: far worse consequences. You know what bothers me and anybody, 158 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: any of you out there that I have kids. You 159 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: know exactly what I'm talking about. Every kid is going 160 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 1: to do stupid stuff. My kids would do a lot 161 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 1: of stupid stuff when they're young, right, all right, when 162 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: they do something stupid? All right, Hey, did you just 163 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: didn't I tell you not to eat that cookie? I 164 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: didn't hear you. Okay, whatever, Don't lie to me because 165 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: you're not gonna get in trouble usually for what you did. 166 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: You're gonna get in trouble when you start lying to me. 167 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: Then it starts pissing me off. I used to say 168 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: to my kids all the time, you're insulting my intelligence. 169 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: You're not good at it. They're not. They're just not 170 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: as street wise as I was. I don't know anyway, 171 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: but their efforts to now spin away and lie about 172 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: the bad state of this economy. I mean, it's breathtaking 173 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: to watch this. You know, the Bureau of Analysis, you 174 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: know that when we get the GDP numbers in the 175 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: second quarter, if the Atlanta Feds right, we're going to 176 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: contract one point six percent, just like in the first quarter. 177 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: They're trying to say that technically doesn't constitute a recession, 178 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: even though it's the standard interpretation and definition of a recession. 179 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,960 Speaker 1: Whether they're saying the technical definition of a recession is 180 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: not two negative quarters of growth, insisted Biden's economists Briandes 181 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: on Monday, citing the National Bureau of Economic Researches broader 182 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: characterization quote a significant decline in economic activity that is 183 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: spread across the economy and that lasts more than a 184 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: few months. Now, that's not the definition. Treasury Secretary Janet 185 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: Yelling got the talking points. Joe Biden got the talking points. 186 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 1: Every Democrat now has the talking points. Later, we're playing 187 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: the program NYU economists now Norio Rubini and some people 188 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: call him doctor Doom, but he was right in two 189 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: thousand and eight in his prediction of the financial collapse. 190 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: Apps that happened, and he says anyone even expecting merely 191 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: a shallow downturn is delusional. A play is cut coming 192 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: up in a little bit later in the saying prices 193 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: have declined in average is sixty cents on gasoline. Okay, 194 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: that's from their five dollars and twenty five cent high. Okay, 195 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: but you're still paying twice what you were paying when 196 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was president and when Joe Biden first became president. 197 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 1: You know, so the bull never stops. Last month, you know, 198 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: Biden called the US economy the fastest growing in the world. 199 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: They just make this atom shift up. They're full of it, 200 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: none of which is true. You know, we're now living 201 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: in this this bizarre world where up as down, and 202 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: down as up, and white as black and black as white, 203 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: et cetera, et cetera. We are in a recession. Kaarne. 204 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre sounded idiotic, you know. And by the way, 205 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,719 Speaker 1: it is ridiculed for claiming economic indicators don't show a 206 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,359 Speaker 1: recession or even a pre recession. Oh there's an economic 207 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: genius for you. I'm Rubini's right. Any prediction for a 208 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: mild recession or a soft landing as they call it, 209 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 1: is delusional. And just just look at all of it, 210 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: you know, there's so many anecdotal instances for that. I'll 211 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: go into it with you. Now. I've been predicting, and 212 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: I stand by my prediction, and I'll go into more 213 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:27,840 Speaker 1: detail in this hour about my prediction. Democrats claim they 214 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: care about working men and women. Who's getting cloud the 215 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: most poor people, middle class people, people, I'm fixed income, 216 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: the elderly. You know. Here's the story I've read the 217 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: story about a Flushing Meadows, Corona Park, Queens, New York. Guy. 218 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: I grew up with either Good Humor ice cream trucks 219 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: or mister Softy ice cream trucks, which are soft serve 220 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: if you like that. And you know, and they talked 221 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: about this guy. Guy's name is Jamie Cabals's name. He 222 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,839 Speaker 1: would always have a line of cuss demers, you know, milkshakes, 223 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: vanilla soft serve, strawberries on. My favorite was a vanilla 224 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 1: Walnuts Sunday with wet walnuts, extra wet walnuts and chocolate syrup. 225 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have the sweet tooth I 226 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: used to have. I'll tell you that anyway. He you know, 227 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: some kids would get the SpongeBob square pants, you know, popsacles, 228 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: whatever you call these things whatever. But now he says, 229 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: the crowds are becoming rarer because all across vendors across 230 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: the country are now having to charge a lot more 231 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: because it costs a lot more. They got to run 232 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: their freezers, and they run them on fuel, and so 233 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: the high price of fuel is feeding their inflation. You know, 234 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: he might not think about the guy that serves ice cream, 235 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: the ice cream man, my ice cream. Might hear that 236 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: either the music or the guy ringing the ice cream 237 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: truck bell on the Good Humor truck was a kid. 238 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't be happier. Dad, Please, Dad, Please please. Father 239 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: loved Good Humor toasted almonds. So usually odds were pretty 240 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,600 Speaker 1: high because he wanted one. We get one anyway, but 241 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: only an ice cream truck would be a pretty lucrative 242 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: proposition for these guys. They work hard and it's a 243 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: seasonal job for a lot of people. But the diesel 244 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: the powers the trucks is over seven bucks and a gallon. 245 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: Then all ice cream now costs thirteen bucks a gallon. 246 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: Twenty five pound box of sprinkles now goes for sixty 247 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: double what it used to cost a year ago. So 248 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: people are looking at it that they can't even keep up. 249 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: And who's thinking about the ice cream truck driver. The 250 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: guys that we love growing up when they came happiness 251 00:15:40,480 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: came with them, holding them accountable. Sean gets the answers 252 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: no one else does. America deserves and know the truth 253 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 1: about Congress. All right, twenty five to the top of 254 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: the hour. So we're getting three days now in a 255 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 1: row of bad economic news. Consumer confidence down today, but 256 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: that's just the obvious one. Now we'll get the Fed 257 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: announcement tomorrow and we're not We expect I don't know, 258 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: seventy five basis points three quarter of an interest rate increase. 259 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens, and it should get pretty interesting. 260 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: But it's none of this is good for anybody in 261 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: the economy. Unemployment is going to rise as a predictable 262 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: result of that, and and it's it's it's this is 263 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: going to be a long haul. This is not gonna 264 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: be as soft landing as they say. You know, I 265 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 1: mentioned this guy, the people that's sell ice cream, you know, 266 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 1: ice cream truck. How many people, Linda, do you have 267 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 1: an ice cream truck come by your house? You might 268 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: even where you live, you might even still have them. 269 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: Do you have them? Yeah? We do, We got mister softy. Yeah, 270 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: I mean, and they play that music that sticks in 271 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: your head. I hate the music I prefer the bells 272 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: on the Good Humor truck. There's a guy I know 273 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: in my town and he has an old Good Humor truck. 274 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: I want to buy it from the guy just I 275 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,159 Speaker 1: don't know why. I just love it. It It made me 276 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: happy memories when that truck would come by as a kid. 277 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: But Dad, please, Dad, please you. I could see you 278 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: doing that. Are you kidding? I was unrelenting, just to 279 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: shove me up, you know what I mean, having your 280 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: own ice cream truck and going around selling ice cream. No, actually, 281 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 1: I would just give it away. I'd love that. That'd 282 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 1: be fun. Probably pat people would think I'm crazy, But 283 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: it brought me happiness. It brings everybody happiness. Ice Cream 284 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: is awesome. But look at what's happened. The Wall Street 285 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: Journal has a piece out today, and maybe maybe many 286 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 1: of you don't care about it. Says the headline is 287 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: the upper middle class is getting seast So we know 288 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 1: the poor are getting crushed. High gas prices alone or 289 00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: crushing them, and people are making decisions changing their eating habits. 290 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: We've gone over all of this because of Biden's implation 291 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 1: they cannot afford it. Credit card debt is going through 292 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: the roof. You know what's back. Remember the repo man 293 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: we used to hear so much about over the years. Yeah, 294 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:29,719 Speaker 1: repo is back, meaning they're repossessing cars at unprecedented rates, 295 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: like rates we haven't seen in a long long time. 296 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: And those are just some of the headlines today. I'll 297 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: go through them all for you. So the upper middle 298 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: class is getting squeezed. They're getting killed. They have money 299 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 1: in their four oh one k if they have money, 300 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: and the stock market that's getting killed. They invested in 301 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: crypto that's getting killed. If you know many Now, if 302 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: you're in the banking industry, the investment sector, there's gonna 303 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: be a lot of layoffs probably coming down the line. 304 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: You can see that happening. There is a report in 305 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: the Hill today half of older Americans cannot afford essential 306 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: expenses because of these policies. This is all self induced. 307 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: So much of this could be solved and resolved if 308 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: they would just snap out of their indoctrination into their 309 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: climate alarmist cult. They need to be deep programmed. Because fine, 310 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm all for im and all of the above. Energy guy, 311 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: come up with cheaper, cleaner energy. I'm in, count me in. 312 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 1: I want to save as much money as I possibly can. 313 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: If we could produce so much energy that we can 314 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: provide all of Western Europe's needs and get them so 315 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: they not reliant on Vladimir Putin anymore. But that's what 316 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,359 Speaker 1: has a double whammy effect. We bankrupt Putin, he won't 317 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 1: be able to I guess he'll sell his energy Indian 318 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: and China, but at least he won't be holding our 319 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: allies hostage. Their economy's hostage, which is what he's doing now. 320 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: Rising inflation coupled with higher costs of living and put 321 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: strange strains on many American purse strings. Estimate University of 322 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 1: Massachusetts Boston Elder Index detail the toll cost of the 323 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: cost of eight of aging on the nation's elderly residents. 324 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: They don't have the option of going back to work. 325 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 1: Many of them. More than half of older women who 326 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: live alone are classified as poor under the federal poverty 327 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: standards or have insufficient incomes to pay for essential expenses. 328 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,880 Speaker 1: Forty five percent of men share the same financial situation. 329 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do. We're gonna put eighty five 330 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: year olds back in the workplace. That's unrealistic. It's not 331 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,239 Speaker 1: going to happen.

I saw this on Yahoo Finance today, 386 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: another pandemic pandemic fallout, use car prices way up, the 387 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:25,360 Speaker 1: repo man is back. You know they talk about a guy, 388 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: a healthcare worker, Cleveland Wishop landed at Baltimore, Washington, and 389 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: International last fall, expecting to retrieve his car and drive 390 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 1: home from long term parking. Never crossed the mind that 391 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 1: he had fallen into one of the economic traps stemming 392 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: from the pandemic. His blue Camaro had vanished the dealer 393 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: that sold it to him, and you know, the twenty 394 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: ten car. I guess he bought it used the year earliers. 395 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 1: They seized it after he fell just nineteen days behind 396 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: making his August payment. He says. I was pissed. He said. 397 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 1: In times past, auto dealers lenders would were a lot 398 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 1: slow or to retake cars when borrowers fell behind. Finding 399 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: and repossessing vehicles was often difficult, occasionally even risky. But 400 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: now the dealerships, they're not waiting because they have such 401 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: a demand for their cars and they can sell it 402 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: for a much higher rate. Housing market chills as mortgage 403 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 1: rates and prices scared buyers. That's the next big shoe 404 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 1: to drop. By the way, I saw this in Canada, 405 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 1: this grabbed my attention. A meeting of federal provincial ministers 406 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: wrapped up on Friday, with several provinces saying they're disappointed 407 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: because they're pushing ahead. You know, baby Trudeau's pushing ahead 408 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: on fertilizer reduction as provinces and farmers are like dying. 409 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 1: We've had farmers calling this program. The price of fertilizer 410 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: is twice what it used to be. That's how bad 411 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: this is, and it gets worse. I have more information 412 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: for you. Census survey finds fifty percent of American adults 413 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: are now having trouble covering just basic expenses every month. 414 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,239 Speaker 1: Data from the Census Bureaus Household Pulse survey show one 415 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million American adults reporting difficulty paying for 416 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 1: usual household expenses in the last seven days. Other signs 417 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: that are emerging that inflation is altering shopping habits. A 418 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 1: day after Walmart had warned their investors its profit would 419 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 1: shrink as rising prices or forcing shoppers to make fewer 420 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 1: purchases at their stores anyway, the consumer goods giant, whose 421 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 1: product line retailer shelves, reinforce the message. On Tuesday, the 422 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: maker of Dove soap, ben and Jerry's ice cream Hellman's 423 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: Mayonnaise said they raised price units eleven percent higher than 424 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: in the same quarter last year. Wow. Nearly half of 425 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,520 Speaker 1: all Americans as a CNBC falling deeper in debt as 426 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 1: inflation continues to boost costs. Consumer confidence I mentioned this earlier, 427 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: fell to a sixteen month low on worries about inflation 428 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: and the economy. Well, that's that's not even going to 429 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: be the worst news of the week. And tomorrow we're 430 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: going to find out what the Federal Reserve does. Anyway, 431 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,360 Speaker 1: from Bloomberg points out, growth is already slowing in response 432 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: to the Fed's repeated interest rate increases. Housing market is softening, 433 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:31,120 Speaker 1: technology companies are curbing hiring. Employment claims are edging up, 434 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: but with inflation proving persistent at a four decade high, 435 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: a growing number of analysts say it will take a 436 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: recession markedly higher joblessness to ease the price pressures significantly. 437 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: Bloomberg survey of economists this month put the probability, you know, 438 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: up a whopping seventeen and a half percent higher than 439 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: they put it in the month before. General Motors is 440 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: now curtailing hiring plan as profits as plunged forty percent. 441 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 1: Their net profit tumbled forty percent in the second quarter, 442 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: hurt by a loss in China supply chain troubles. You know, 443 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: they're having a lot of problems with these computer chips shortages. 444 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: And by the way that you know they've had a 445 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: provision in the build to punish China, but Democrats don't 446 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: want to do that. China may drop the diamond. The 447 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: Biden family syndicates, you can't have that. By the way, 448 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: the price of crude oil again yesterday, following Joe Biden's 449 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 1: failure to get a deal to boost production out of 450 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: OPEC and Saudi Arabia anyway, US West Texas intermediate August 451 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: crude oil futures it rose to one hundred and two 452 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: dollars a barrel of oil on Monday and increase of 453 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: four point six seven percent. Ren crude futures rose to 454 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: a hundred and five dollars a barrel. In other words, 455 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 1: cast prices. Whatever short term band aid fix they put 456 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 1: in places, just it's never gonna work. Yahoo finance again, 457 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: Difficulty paying bills tops pandemic high in US Census survey. 458 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: And they gave the areas where it's the highest, and 459 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: it's pretty remarkable. Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Riverside, San Bernardino, Miami. 460 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: You know these people households having trouble paying for usual expenses. 461 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:43,440 Speaker 1: Detroit Atlanta, Phoenix, LA, Chicago, New York, New Jersey, Jersey City, Pennsylvania, Philly, Camden, Wilmington, Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Boston, Cambridge, Newton, Massachusetts, Washington, Arlington, Alexandria, Virginia, 462 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: d C. San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley County, California. That's all 463 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: because of Joe's economic and energy policies. You know, this 464 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: is all predictable. New climate regulations threatened Canada's food supply. 465 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: Get Canada's government has set a goal to cut emissions 466 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: from synthetic fertilizer use by thirty percent by twenty thirty 467 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: without first consulting the provinces on what is achievable or attainable. 468 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: They just you know, government mandate. So, just like Western 469 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 1: Europe is given into environmental radicals and climate alarmist cultists, 470 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: so has the US, and now so has Canada. The 471 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: US is about to make the exact same mistake Western 472 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: Europe made, and we're going to rely on hostile regimes 473 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 1: run by hostile actors. Russia now has cut eighty percent 474 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: of the natural gas flow into countries like Germany and 475 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: other European countries, and is now selling their energy to 476 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: India and China and helping or ran out in any 477 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,600 Speaker 1: way that they can. Grain prices are up, are up, 478 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: Russia is slashed, the gas supply. Biden feels, the Biden 479 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: officials feel the China may make can move on Taiwan 480 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: in the next eighteen months. That's kind of obvious. Just 481 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: sad because it's all preventable crisis at the border, preventable 482 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: economic crisis, preventable energy crisis, preventable. By the way, Biden's 483 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: hometown of Scranton, PA hates them. They can't even stand 484 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 1: them anymore. He claims it's his hometown. Climate hysterics have 485 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: vowed to shut down DC if Biden doesn't declare a 486 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: climate emergency. I would expect he'll give in to the pressure. 487 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: That's pretty predictable. Also
