00:01:58,537 --> 00:02:02,977
Speaker 1: Go for it, all right. Sir Zelenski addressed the United

35
00:02:03,057 --> 00:02:08,017
Speaker 1: States Congress this morning, and he's sang, first off, he

36
00:02:08,097 --> 00:02:12,377
Speaker 1: wants us to close the sky, and by that he

37
00:02:12,457 --> 00:02:16,657
Speaker 1: means a no fly zone. And if we won't do that,

38
00:02:16,697 --> 00:02:20,177
Speaker 1: he says, give us more anti aircraft, like the S

39
00:02:20,257 --> 00:02:23,857
Speaker 1: three hundred system that's actually a Russian system, give us

40
00:02:23,897 --> 00:02:27,897
Speaker 1: more anti aircraft, give us perhaps the switchblade drones that

41
00:02:27,977 --> 00:02:30,337
Speaker 1: some of you might be familiar with from Iraq and Afghanistan.

42
00:02:30,577 --> 00:02:35,057
Speaker 1: Use and help us with all the tools that you

43
00:02:35,097 --> 00:02:39,377
Speaker 1: can possibly muster so that we can defeat this Russian aggression.

44
00:02:39,377 --> 00:02:41,097
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the basics of what he was saying

45
00:02:41,137 --> 00:02:43,537
Speaker 1: this morning. He also invoked nine to eleven and Pearl Harbor.

46
00:02:44,417 --> 00:02:46,057
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you at the end of the speech

47
00:02:46,097 --> 00:02:49,697
Speaker 1: he spoke in English, and I thought that was and

48
00:02:49,937 --> 00:02:51,497
Speaker 1: that's why he saved it till the end. But I

49
00:02:51,537 --> 00:02:54,337
Speaker 1: wish he had spoken in English the whole time, because

50
00:02:54,377 --> 00:02:59,457
Speaker 1: speaking through a translator was just not as powerful. Theater.

51
00:02:59,577 --> 00:03:03,297
Speaker 1: They also had a video showing the atrocities going on

52
00:03:03,417 --> 00:03:06,777
Speaker 1: right now in Ukraine. This is meant to be understand

53
00:03:06,817 --> 00:03:11,817
Speaker 1: this emotionally compelling sucks that we make a decision based

54
00:03:11,897 --> 00:03:14,697
Speaker 1: upon the emotion of the moment we as a country,

55
00:03:15,497 --> 00:03:18,937
Speaker 1: and we've been giving Ukraine munitions. We can give them more.

56
00:03:19,497 --> 00:03:22,457
Speaker 1: I think there is an interesting debate on whether or

57
00:03:22,497 --> 00:03:25,257
Speaker 1: not giving Ukraine MiGs is a good idea and would

58
00:03:25,257 --> 00:03:30,137
Speaker 1: even change very much. But we have to draw a

59
00:03:30,177 --> 00:03:34,777
Speaker 1: line at getting into a war ourselves with Russia. And

60
00:03:35,057 --> 00:03:37,257
Speaker 1: this is a country that just invaded a neighbor that

61
00:03:37,417 --> 00:03:39,617
Speaker 1: is very similar, that was thought of as a brother

62
00:03:39,737 --> 00:03:42,657
Speaker 1: or sister country for a very long time by the Russians,

63
00:03:43,657 --> 00:03:49,137
Speaker 1: and they are leveling its cities and firing missiles at hospitals. So,

64
00:03:49,537 --> 00:03:52,377
Speaker 1: given what the Russian military has been willing to do

65
00:03:52,497 --> 00:03:55,297
Speaker 1: up to this point, on what basis would we say,

66
00:03:55,377 --> 00:03:58,977
Speaker 1: it's just too much to even think that they would

67
00:03:59,057 --> 00:04:02,217
Speaker 1: use a tactical nuclear weapon. For example, it's too much

68
00:04:02,257 --> 00:04:06,777
Speaker 1: to even think that they would escalate dramatically by attacking

69
00:04:07,177 --> 00:04:10,217
Speaker 1: planes in Ukrainian airspace with either their own sor US

70
00:04:10,257 --> 00:04:12,377
Speaker 1: to air missiles the S three hundred, four hundred AS

71
00:04:12,417 --> 00:04:17,017
Speaker 1: five hundred SAM systems that Russia developed and has plenty

72
00:04:17,057 --> 00:04:21,057
Speaker 1: of capability with or with their own planes. Now, I

73
00:04:21,057 --> 00:04:24,537
Speaker 1: would ask you, let's say we do have a Russian

74
00:04:24,777 --> 00:04:27,217
Speaker 1: or rather a Ukrainian no flies on. Let's say we

75
00:04:27,217 --> 00:04:31,297
Speaker 1: were to do this, I would want to know, does

76
00:04:31,297 --> 00:04:33,297
Speaker 1: that mean that they engage targets on the ground. What

77
00:04:33,377 --> 00:04:35,937
Speaker 1: happens when Russian ground targets fire at our no fly

78
00:04:36,057 --> 00:04:39,377
Speaker 1: zone at the planes that we would have in the sky,

79
00:04:38,817 --> 00:04:41,497
Speaker 1: do we engage then Russian targets in the ground, and

80
00:04:41,577 --> 00:04:44,097
Speaker 1: the rules of engagement would have to be yes, you

81
00:04:44,137 --> 00:04:46,577
Speaker 1: have to allow people, you have to allow your own

82
00:04:46,617 --> 00:04:50,297
Speaker 1: forces self defense. So now you're talking about engaging ground targets. Well,

83
00:04:50,337 --> 00:04:53,617
Speaker 1: then once you've done that, how are you not at war?

84
00:04:53,817 --> 00:04:57,057
Speaker 1: Once you're firing missiles at targets on the ground, never

85
00:04:57,097 --> 00:04:59,697
Speaker 1: mind targets in the sky. Aren't you at war with

86
00:04:59,737 --> 00:05:03,537
Speaker 1: that country? Aren't you a belligerent a combatant. This is

87
00:05:03,577 --> 00:05:05,217
Speaker 1: what I think people that are advocating for a no

88
00:05:05,337 --> 00:05:08,697
Speaker 1: fly zone either haven't thought through or certainly haven't thought

89
00:05:08,697 --> 00:05:14,737
Speaker 1: through enough. We do not we do not want to

90
00:05:14,777 --> 00:05:17,417
Speaker 1: get into a war here for a country that, as

91
00:05:17,457 --> 00:05:21,897
Speaker 1: many have pointed out, is not America and is not

92
00:05:21,977 --> 00:05:25,977
Speaker 1: American key national security interest. We have a defense department.

93
00:05:26,017 --> 00:05:28,257
Speaker 1: We do not have a make war on behalf of

94
00:05:28,297 --> 00:05:31,017
Speaker 1: anyone anywhere around the world who has been attacked department.

95
00:05:31,697 --> 00:05:34,897
Speaker 1: And I understand that right now this can sound this

96
00:05:34,937 --> 00:05:37,257
Speaker 1: can sound harsh, but I would also remind everybody that

97
00:05:37,657 --> 00:05:41,097
Speaker 1: from the very beginning, the very beginning, some of us,

98
00:05:42,057 --> 00:05:44,177
Speaker 1: myself included, have been warning that this is going to

99
00:05:44,257 --> 00:05:46,657
Speaker 1: be much more difficult. Sure, we want to stay out

100
00:05:46,697 --> 00:05:48,137
Speaker 1: of a war Everyone wants stay out of a war

101
00:05:48,217 --> 00:05:51,417
Speaker 1: until the bombs start falling on civilians and the hospitals

102
00:05:51,417 --> 00:05:54,857
Speaker 1: are collapsing and the children are turned into refugees or

103
00:05:54,937 --> 00:05:57,897
Speaker 1: orphans or worse. Everybody wants to stay at a war

104
00:05:57,937 --> 00:06:02,257
Speaker 1: until that happens. It's when you see the horrors of

105
00:06:02,777 --> 00:06:04,657
Speaker 1: war and you see that it is, in fact the

106
00:06:04,657 --> 00:06:08,097
Speaker 1: most hellish thing that human beings can endure, that all

107
00:06:08,137 --> 00:06:10,737
Speaker 1: of a sudden you are driven by motion to make

108
00:06:10,857 --> 00:06:13,577
Speaker 1: very different decisions. And I would hope that we can

109
00:06:13,577 --> 00:06:16,897
Speaker 1: avoid doing that, because if you think what we're seeing

110
00:06:16,977 --> 00:06:20,017
Speaker 1: right now in Ukraine is bad, imagine if this turned

111
00:06:20,017 --> 00:06:24,857
Speaker 1: into a broader conflagration involving Russia, perhaps even bringing in Iranian.

112
00:06:25,737 --> 00:06:28,257
Speaker 1: Iranian military action on their behalf of the Middle least

113
00:06:28,297 --> 00:06:33,537
Speaker 1: to make things more destabilized, just like the world on fire.

114
00:06:33,617 --> 00:06:36,977
Speaker 1: The Syrians are already saying they're going to send soldiers

115
00:06:37,177 --> 00:06:40,577
Speaker 1: into Ukraine on behalf of Russia. They've already offered to

116
00:06:40,617 --> 00:06:42,817
Speaker 1: do this. Whether that's actually going on or not, I

117
00:06:42,937 --> 00:06:46,297
Speaker 1: want to look into. But imagine what it starts to

118
00:06:46,297 --> 00:06:49,177
Speaker 1: look like when we have Russian military feeling like they

119
00:06:49,217 --> 00:06:52,697
Speaker 1: are now cornered. Because I know that That's not how

120
00:06:52,737 --> 00:06:55,457
Speaker 1: we would view it, but that's how they would view it.

121
00:06:55,457 --> 00:06:58,337
Speaker 1: It's their home territory, it's not ours. Now they're cornered

122
00:06:58,377 --> 00:07:02,337
Speaker 1: by United States military and its NATO allies. What will

123
00:07:02,377 --> 00:07:05,777
Speaker 1: they what would putin be willing to do? Then? Now,

124
00:07:05,977 --> 00:07:08,617
Speaker 1: in the background of all this as well, let's understand

125
00:07:09,217 --> 00:07:13,537
Speaker 1: that there's already negotiations occurring here. The Kremlin has said,

126
00:07:13,777 --> 00:07:16,217
Speaker 1: I know this is coming from the Kremlin, but this

127
00:07:16,297 --> 00:07:19,577
Speaker 1: is being reported by Western news sources that a neutral

128
00:07:19,697 --> 00:07:22,857
Speaker 1: Ukraine along the lines of Sweden or Austria is being

129
00:07:22,897 --> 00:07:29,377
Speaker 1: discussed at talks to end the fighting in Ukraine. Kremlin

130
00:07:29,457 --> 00:07:31,937
Speaker 1: spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, this is an option that's being

131
00:07:31,937 --> 00:07:36,097
Speaker 1: discussed now, can be considered as a compromise, and neutrality

132
00:07:36,137 --> 00:07:39,297
Speaker 1: is taking center stage at the talks. Moscow and Kiev

133
00:07:39,337 --> 00:07:43,217
Speaker 1: were close to agreeing the wording on neutrality. Rather, the

134
00:07:43,257 --> 00:07:46,057
Speaker 1: two sides have held several rounds of negotiations aimed at

135
00:07:46,057 --> 00:07:51,177
Speaker 1: finding common ground and bringing a halt to hostilities. So

136
00:07:51,217 --> 00:07:53,897
Speaker 1: there's already discussion here. This is not jihadis who are

137
00:07:53,937 --> 00:07:56,217
Speaker 1: looking to just murder absolutely everybody in a country because

138
00:07:56,217 --> 00:07:59,057
Speaker 1: they hate them. In their way of life. This is

139
00:07:59,257 --> 00:08:03,177
Speaker 1: a vicious power play by Vladimir Putin, who viewed this

140
00:08:03,217 --> 00:08:06,817
Speaker 1: as in the national security and strategic interests of the

141
00:08:06,897 --> 00:08:09,657
Speaker 1: Russian Federation. We can argue without all day, but that's

142
00:08:09,657 --> 00:08:13,697
Speaker 1: how he sees it, and there's something that he wants here. Now.

143
00:08:13,737 --> 00:08:16,737
Speaker 1: If what he wants is a guarantee of Ukrainian neutrality,

144
00:08:17,417 --> 00:08:20,377
Speaker 1: isn't that a price that we should be willing to

145
00:08:20,497 --> 00:08:26,177
Speaker 1: encourage the parties involved here to settle on so that

146
00:08:26,217 --> 00:08:28,977
Speaker 1: the fighting actually stops. If it could stop the violence tomorrow,

147
00:08:29,377 --> 00:08:33,297
Speaker 1: would a guarantee of Ukrainian neutrality be worth it? I

148
00:08:33,337 --> 00:08:36,337
Speaker 1: would think the answer is yes. I know that right now,

149
00:08:36,377 --> 00:08:39,257
Speaker 1: that doesn't appeal to the emotions of folks who want

150
00:08:39,577 --> 00:08:42,777
Speaker 1: a glorious Ukrainian resistance victory. We all like to side

151
00:08:42,777 --> 00:08:45,057
Speaker 1: with the underdog. We all like to side with the

152
00:08:45,097 --> 00:08:47,417
Speaker 1: person who is being bullied, and there's no question that

153
00:08:47,537 --> 00:08:50,617
Speaker 1: Ukraine is the party here that's being bullied and much

154
00:08:50,657 --> 00:08:54,497
Speaker 1: worse than that. But don't we want this to end

155
00:08:54,537 --> 00:08:59,457
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible? Right We're not talking about Ukrainians

156
00:09:00,137 --> 00:09:02,617
Speaker 1: according to the negotiations we've seen, They're not being marched

157
00:09:02,657 --> 00:09:07,577
Speaker 1: off to camp somewhere This isn't This isn't a campaign

158
00:09:07,697 --> 00:09:13,777
Speaker 1: intended to ethnically cleanse Ukraine of all Ukrainians. There are

159
00:09:13,817 --> 00:09:17,737
Speaker 1: times when fighting until the absolute, very bitter end to

160
00:09:17,777 --> 00:09:20,737
Speaker 1: the last man, the last person who can draw breath

161
00:09:20,777 --> 00:09:24,177
Speaker 1: and raise a rifle, should take up arms and continue

162
00:09:24,177 --> 00:09:27,057
Speaker 1: to take up arms, arms against an aggressor. I'll think

163
00:09:27,057 --> 00:09:29,497
Speaker 1: of World War two. I think of other instances throughout history.

164
00:09:29,697 --> 00:09:33,937
Speaker 1: This is not that. There are negotiations underway right now

165
00:09:34,217 --> 00:09:37,017
Speaker 1: to end this thing, and afterwards, if we were together,

166
00:09:37,097 --> 00:09:39,137
Speaker 1: then we gonna have a whole conversation about, Okay, how

167
00:09:39,177 --> 00:09:40,617
Speaker 1: do we get to this place, how do we stop

168
00:09:40,617 --> 00:09:43,177
Speaker 1: this from happening again? What do we do so that

169
00:09:43,337 --> 00:09:46,457
Speaker 1: Ukraine is powerful enough that it could defend itself from

170
00:09:46,497 --> 00:09:49,777
Speaker 1: future aggression. All that could happen right now. The buildings

171
00:09:49,777 --> 00:09:53,937
Speaker 1: are being hit with missiles right now, Civilians are losing

172
00:09:53,977 --> 00:09:56,657
Speaker 1: their lives trying to go get bread or milk at

173
00:09:56,697 --> 00:09:59,777
Speaker 1: the store. So I want that to end as quickly

174
00:09:59,777 --> 00:10:01,657
Speaker 1: as possible. I think we all want that to end

175
00:10:01,657 --> 00:10:04,937
Speaker 1: as fast as possible. This is not about glorious narratives

176
00:10:04,937 --> 00:10:08,097
Speaker 1: of resistance. This is not a movie. So there's already

177
00:10:08,297 --> 00:10:11,817
Speaker 1: there's already engagement between the war parties to try to

178
00:10:11,857 --> 00:10:17,497
Speaker 1: bring this to a conclusion, and we should do everything

179
00:10:17,497 --> 00:10:21,377
Speaker 1: we can to help get it there. Sure, it is

180
00:10:21,457 --> 00:10:24,017
Speaker 1: raising the cost of Russia's invasion more likely to make

181
00:10:24,017 --> 00:10:27,457
Speaker 1: them go to the negotiating table. Yeah, we want Russia

182
00:10:27,657 --> 00:10:31,817
Speaker 1: to change its calculation so that ending the fighting is

183
00:10:31,817 --> 00:10:35,577
Speaker 1: what they decide to do. Escalation is the worst option

184
00:10:35,617 --> 00:10:39,377
Speaker 1: because that then encourages Russia to continue and make worse

185
00:10:39,497 --> 00:10:43,297
Speaker 1: the fighting. These are the kinds of calculations that we

186
00:10:43,337 --> 00:10:47,137
Speaker 1: have to make as outsiders to this who are increasingly

187
00:10:47,177 --> 00:10:49,897
Speaker 1: being told we have to go all in and do

188
00:10:50,057 --> 00:10:52,457
Speaker 1: more and more. I mean, how far do you think

189
00:10:52,457 --> 00:10:54,977
Speaker 1: it is really from a no fly zone to the

190
00:10:55,057 --> 00:10:59,137
Speaker 1: US flying air strikes on behalf of Ukrainian defenders and

191
00:10:59,217 --> 00:11:02,137
Speaker 1: at that point we're clearly belligerents in Russia would view

192
00:11:02,257 --> 00:11:04,537
Speaker 1: us as in a state of war. It's not far.

193
00:11:04,977 --> 00:11:06,897
Speaker 1: That's why people have to be very careful about this.

194
00:11:07,577 --> 00:11:10,337
Speaker 1: Let's talk about oil prices and inflation and second here,

195
00:11:10,417 --> 00:11:12,257
Speaker 1: one of the smartest actions you have to take to

196
00:11:12,297 --> 00:11:14,497
Speaker 1: preserve the value of your savings account is to invest

197
00:11:14,537 --> 00:11:18,057
Speaker 1: a portion of your savings in real gold. It's been

198
00:11:18,097 --> 00:11:20,497
Speaker 1: proven to be the most consistent precious metal and commodity

199
00:11:20,537 --> 00:11:22,497
Speaker 1: over time in the year like the one we've had

200
00:11:22,497 --> 00:11:25,177
Speaker 1: with inflation figure showing a seven point five percent increase

201
00:11:25,217 --> 00:11:27,217
Speaker 1: in a year's time and more of that coming our

202
00:11:27,257 --> 00:11:30,097
Speaker 1: way this year. Real gold is a form of protection

203
00:11:30,497 --> 00:11:32,897
Speaker 1: and buying real gold is made easy by the Oxford

204
00:11:32,897 --> 00:11:35,297
Speaker 1: Gold Group. They also make it convenient and easy to

205
00:11:35,297 --> 00:11:38,297
Speaker 1: take delivery of your purchase of real gold too. Same

206
00:11:38,377 --> 00:11:40,137
Speaker 1: kind of thing can happen with your IRA or four

207

Speaker 1: oh one k real gold and silver in your retirement accounts.

00:12:15,977 --> 00:12:18,017
Speaker 1: about Oxford Gold and how they should get some gold

219
00:12:18,177 --> 00:12:21,137
Speaker 1: and they're going to do it. So given the way

220
00:12:21,137 --> 00:12:23,537
Speaker 1: inflation is going, you've got to take this stuff seriously.

221
00:12:23,577 --> 00:12:26,657
Speaker 1: You want to take action now. And if you think

222
00:12:26,657 --> 00:12:28,417
Speaker 1: that they're going to be able to fix all this stuff,

223
00:12:30,017 --> 00:12:34,297
Speaker 1: they're not. Here is the former Federal Reserve Vice chairman

224
00:12:35,617 --> 00:12:40,217
Speaker 1: saying that there's a pretty tough situation emerging. You're economically

225
00:12:40,217 --> 00:12:44,177
Speaker 1: where you could see stagflation start to emerge. The fan

226
00:12:44,337 --> 00:12:49,497
Speaker 1: is walking on a tight boat where indeed conversations around

227
00:12:49,577 --> 00:12:54,497
Speaker 1: stagflation are starting to emerge. You put your finger on

228
00:12:54,937 --> 00:12:59,257
Speaker 1: the downside risk, which is dramatic movement oil prices, China

229
00:12:59,337 --> 00:13:01,777
Speaker 1: again doing a lockdown, which is, you know, one of

230
00:13:01,817 --> 00:13:04,497
Speaker 1: the injuns of growth that remains in the world. And

231
00:13:04,577 --> 00:13:07,217
Speaker 1: so there are some people who are saying, if the

232
00:13:07,297 --> 00:13:10,177
Speaker 1: fifth not careful, it could hike too much and and

233
00:13:10,297 --> 00:13:16,017
Speaker 1: invertly throw the US into our session. You see, math

234
00:13:16,137 --> 00:13:19,617
Speaker 1: is ultimately the problem here. You put more currency into

235
00:13:19,657 --> 00:13:24,497
Speaker 1: circulation and you create inflation. And now they're saying, well,

236
00:13:24,537 --> 00:13:27,417
Speaker 1: if we raise the interest rate, that will help with

237
00:13:27,457 --> 00:13:31,177
Speaker 1: the issue of inflation, but that also could perhaps trigger

238
00:13:31,617 --> 00:13:35,977
Speaker 1: higher unemployment and a recession. What is stagflation for everybody

239
00:13:36,017 --> 00:13:37,737
Speaker 1: out there, just so we're all on the same page.

240
00:13:38,257 --> 00:13:41,817
Speaker 1: A situation in which the inflation rate is high, the

241
00:13:41,977 --> 00:13:48,417
Speaker 1: economic growth rate slows, and unemployment remains high. So you

242
00:13:48,417 --> 00:13:53,057
Speaker 1: get high unemployment, slow economic growth, and high inflation, a

243
00:13:53,057 --> 00:13:55,497
Speaker 1: lot of people without jobs, not a lot of growth

244
00:13:55,537 --> 00:13:58,257
Speaker 1: out there, and the dollars that you have are worth less.

245
00:13:59,697 --> 00:14:04,737
Speaker 1: That's a bad situation economically. That's that's something that as

246
00:14:04,737 --> 00:14:06,577
Speaker 1: you see it play out, you can understand how that

247
00:14:06,577 --> 00:14:11,257
Speaker 1: would be a lot of misery. And it's it's astonishing

248
00:14:12,297 --> 00:14:15,497
Speaker 1: that the Democrat Party, I mean, at this stage, we

249
00:14:15,577 --> 00:14:18,097
Speaker 1: should be unleashing the energy sector. We should be saying,

250
00:14:18,257 --> 00:14:22,537
Speaker 1: go crazy with those fossil fuels right now, get it

251
00:14:22,577 --> 00:14:26,457
Speaker 1: out there, bring down the cost of everything, export more,

252
00:14:26,937 --> 00:14:30,937
Speaker 1: give some real rocket fuel to the global economy, but

253
00:14:30,977 --> 00:14:34,497
Speaker 1: to the US economy most importantly, by putting US fuel

254
00:14:34,577 --> 00:14:37,457
Speaker 1: out there as much and as fast as we possibly can.

255
00:14:37,737 --> 00:14:42,617
Speaker 1: But to see, the Democrat Party is unfortunately in thrall

256
00:14:42,737 --> 00:14:47,817
Speaker 1: to and dominated by left wing climate change green energy lunatics,

257
00:14:48,377 --> 00:14:50,897
Speaker 1: and as a result of that, they're unwilling to do

258
00:14:51,017 --> 00:14:54,497
Speaker 1: the very straightforward things, the very basic things that could

259
00:14:54,497 --> 00:14:58,297
Speaker 1: be done to help with oil production, to help with

260
00:14:58,377 --> 00:15:02,737
Speaker 1: getting more fossil fuels out there. And there's obviously a

261
00:15:02,817 --> 00:15:06,497
Speaker 1: huge national security implications to this. I mean, here's Senator

262
00:15:06,537 --> 00:15:10,337
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz. For economic and national security reasons. We want

263
00:15:10,337 --> 00:15:14,257
Speaker 1: to just go take the dial to eleven on fossil

264
00:15:14,297 --> 00:15:18,457
Speaker 1: fuel production domestically right now, and right now, Biden's emissaries

265
00:15:18,977 --> 00:15:23,737
Speaker 1: are in Venezuela begging Maduro to sell US oil and

266
00:15:23,817 --> 00:15:27,177
Speaker 1: are in Vienna trying to beg the Aetolin irand to

267
00:15:27,257 --> 00:15:29,817
Speaker 1: sell US oil. They want every enemy of America to

268
00:15:29,857 --> 00:15:33,097
Speaker 1: get rich, to make billions to use to kill Americans.

269
00:15:33,297 --> 00:15:35,977
Speaker 1: And the one people they don't want to actually sell

270
00:15:36,017 --> 00:15:40,257
Speaker 1: oil and gas are Americans that produce American jobs. It

271
00:15:40,417 --> 00:15:43,097
Speaker 1: is literally, if you sat down and said, every enemy

272
00:15:43,097 --> 00:15:46,457
Speaker 1: of America, let's help them, let's benefit them, every friend

273
00:15:46,457 --> 00:15:51,137
Speaker 1: of America, let's alienate them, let's undercut them, let's hurt them. Sean,

274
00:15:51,217 --> 00:15:54,257
Speaker 1: you would not devise a different foreign policy than the

275
00:15:54,297 --> 00:15:57,217
Speaker 1: one Biden and Kamala put in place. There's a reason

276
00:15:57,297 --> 00:16:03,017
Speaker 1: for this, we know what it is. They are dominated

277
00:16:03,137 --> 00:16:08,577
Speaker 1: ideologically by the environmentalist, lunatic green New Deal left. They

278
00:16:08,577 --> 00:16:11,977
Speaker 1: will freak out because they're religious believers in climate change.

279
00:16:11,977 --> 00:16:15,217
Speaker 1: In the Democrat Party. It doesn't matter that there's a

280
00:16:15,217 --> 00:16:17,697
Speaker 1: war going on that we would have a stronger hand

281
00:16:17,777 --> 00:16:19,657
Speaker 1: in helping bring to a close if we were in

282
00:16:19,657 --> 00:16:22,657
Speaker 1: a better energy position. It doesn't matter to them that

283
00:16:22,737 --> 00:16:26,177
Speaker 1: a lot of people are going to have less money

284
00:16:26,217 --> 00:16:29,577
Speaker 1: to buy food at the grocery store because of inflation

285
00:16:29,697 --> 00:16:32,097
Speaker 1: or their money is worth less. It doesn't matter to

286
00:16:32,217 --> 00:16:34,417
Speaker 1: them that people are going to suffer, that unemployment might

287
00:16:34,417 --> 00:16:36,577
Speaker 1: get higher, that stagflation could be on the horizon, that

288
00:16:36,617 --> 00:16:39,257
Speaker 1: a recession could be on the horizon. They think they're

289
00:16:39,337 --> 00:16:44,257
Speaker 1: saving the planet worth saving the planet, don't you see?

290
00:16:44,577 --> 00:16:47,297
Speaker 1: I mean, I take private jets, but you pours, you

291
00:16:47,417 --> 00:16:51,057
Speaker 1: have to walk. That's the problem. You want to know

292
00:16:51,057 --> 00:16:53,817
Speaker 1: what the issue is with American energy sector, that's the problem.

293
00:16:53,857 --> 00:16:59,337
Speaker 1: That and just the general hyper regulatory madness of the

294
00:16:59,457 --> 00:17:03,137
Speaker 1: authoritarian left would do this because we say so, We

295
00:17:03,217 --> 00:17:06,097
Speaker 1: want control this, because we say so, which right, which

296
00:17:06,097 --> 00:17:10,177
Speaker 1: adds cost tremendous costs through all kinds of regulation, not

297
00:17:10,177 --> 00:17:12,217
Speaker 1: just on the energy sector that you end up paying

298
00:17:12,297 --> 00:17:14,497
Speaker 1: as a consumer, And there's no benefit to it other

299
00:17:14,537 --> 00:17:18,417
Speaker 1: than the Libs get to feel good about themselves. I

300
00:17:18,457 --> 00:17:22,097
Speaker 1: feel good about myself, and this is what it is.

301
00:17:22,097 --> 00:17:25,577
Speaker 1: They're the emotion party, the whiney cry baby, don't think

302
00:17:25,617 --> 00:17:28,017
Speaker 1: it through party. But if it feels good to them

303
00:17:28,257 --> 00:17:30,337
Speaker 1: at the moment at the time, if they get to

304
00:17:30,337 --> 00:17:33,897
Speaker 1: be a part of the shouting herd we're the good people,

305
00:17:34,057 --> 00:17:35,897
Speaker 1: then they'll do it. Then they go for it, then

306
00:17:35,937 --> 00:17:40,697
Speaker 1: nothing else really matters to them. Mitt Romney, I am

307
00:17:40,737 --> 00:17:43,417
Speaker 1: embarrassed that I voted for this guy in twenty twelve.

308
00:17:43,737 --> 00:17:48,297
Speaker 1: I mean, it was the lesser evil, but still not good.

309
00:17:48,657 --> 00:17:52,577
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney voted against ending the mask mandate on planes

310
00:17:53,017 --> 00:17:57,337
Speaker 1: eight Democrats. Eight Democrats went along with it. Mit Romney

311
00:17:57,377 --> 00:18:01,537
Speaker 1: votes against it. He is appalling. We will talk about

312
00:18:01,537 --> 00:18:05,737
Speaker 1: this in just a moment. The tax filing deadlines a

313
00:18:05,777 --> 00:18:08,017
Speaker 1: little more than a month away on April eighteenth this year.

314
00:18:08,097 --> 00:18:11,297
Speaker 1: This filing deadline always brings out the irs, scammers looking

315
00:18:11,297 --> 00:18:14,337
Speaker 1: to steal your refund and personal information. The most common

316
00:18:14,377 --> 00:18:17,257
Speaker 1: scams take place on the phone or v email. Don't

317
00:18:17,337 --> 00:18:19,657
Speaker 1: be fooled by scam artists offering to help you with

318
00:18:19,697 --> 00:18:22,497
Speaker 1: a tax return. It's important to understand how cyber crime

319
00:18:22,537 --> 00:18:24,857
Speaker 1: and a denty theft are affecting our lives. Every day.

320
00:18:25,097 --> 00:18:27,177
Speaker 1: We put our information at risk on the Internet could

321
00:18:27,217 --> 00:18:29,217
Speaker 1: be as easy as buying an airline ticket or registering

322
00:18:29,217 --> 00:18:31,537
Speaker 1: a child for summer camp. In an instant, a cyber

323
00:18:31,537 --> 00:18:35,137
Speaker 1: criminal could steal what's yours starting by obtaining your online information.

324

337
00:19:16,337 --> 00:19:20,537
Speaker 1: well at least. The Senate votes to repeal mask mandates

338
00:19:21,177 --> 00:19:24,257
Speaker 1: thanks to Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky on public transportation,

339
00:19:24,937 --> 00:19:27,457
Speaker 1: and the final vote was fifty seven to forty eight

340
00:19:27,457 --> 00:19:31,057
Speaker 1: Democrats went in favor of it. Mitt Romney is such

341
00:19:31,097 --> 00:19:34,977
Speaker 1: a clown, such a jackass he votes against this. Why

342
00:19:35,657 --> 00:19:38,617
Speaker 1: he's really that much of a little virtue signaling clown,

343
00:19:39,177 --> 00:19:40,937
Speaker 1: Yes he is. He was also out there, Oh, I'm

344
00:19:40,977 --> 00:19:43,417
Speaker 1: marching for BOLM because I'm Mitt Romney and I really

345
00:19:43,457 --> 00:19:46,377
Speaker 1: care about the plight of minorities in America's inner cities.

346
00:19:46,457 --> 00:19:49,857
Speaker 1: Nobody believed that, but he thought it made him look good,

347
00:19:50,417 --> 00:19:53,537
Speaker 1: so that's what mattered to him. Look, they've extended the

348
00:19:53,617 --> 00:19:57,057
Speaker 1: federal mask mandate through April eighteenth, which is lunacy. Okay,

349
00:19:57,577 --> 00:20:01,377
Speaker 1: this is indefensibly stupid. Everyone's living their lives without masks

350
00:20:01,377 --> 00:20:03,697
Speaker 1: on now everywhere else unless they're crazy and they're suffering

351
00:20:03,697 --> 00:20:06,377
Speaker 1: from a mass hysteria. But on planes you have to

352
00:20:06,417 --> 00:20:10,697
Speaker 1: mask up. Why it makes no sense. But you see,

353
00:20:10,737 --> 00:20:12,617
Speaker 1: for so many of them, this was always about how

354
00:20:12,617 --> 00:20:15,777
Speaker 1: it makes them feel. How does it make them feel

355
00:20:15,777 --> 00:20:18,217
Speaker 1: when the casts vote? Romney says, Oh, but it's not

356
00:20:18,297 --> 00:20:21,577
Speaker 1: the Senate job. We listen to health experts. Wrong. Wrong.

357
00:20:21,657 --> 00:20:25,577
Speaker 1: The health experts work for the executive branch in an

358
00:20:25,617 --> 00:20:29,697
Speaker 1: advisory role. It is the job of Congress on an

359
00:20:29,697 --> 00:20:33,097
Speaker 1: issue like interstate travel in planes. It is the job

360
00:20:33,137 --> 00:20:36,057
Speaker 1: of Congress to vote on this and to determine whether

361
00:20:36,217 --> 00:20:38,177
Speaker 1: or not this should be done. And yes, it is

362
00:20:38,217 --> 00:20:40,337
Speaker 1: more ronic to make people mask up on planes, but

363
00:20:40,377 --> 00:20:42,977
Speaker 1: at least it is a congressional thing. It's not a

364
00:20:43,057 --> 00:20:46,817
Speaker 1: federal executive agency. The bureaucrats aren't supposed to do this.

365
00:20:46,977 --> 00:20:51,297
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney is a coward, a coward if you're wondering

366
00:20:51,337 --> 00:20:54,417
Speaker 1: where to think about it. That's it for today, team,

367
00:20:54,457 --> 00:20:56,697
Speaker 1: I'll be back with you tomorrow. Shield tie
