<v Speaker 1>Go for it, all right. Sir Zelenski addressed the United

0:02:03.057 --> 0:02:08.017
<v Speaker 1>States Congress this morning, and he's sang, first off, he

0:02:08.097 --> 0:02:12.377
<v Speaker 1>wants us to close the sky, and by that he

0:02:12.457 --> 0:02:16.657
<v Speaker 1>means a no fly zone. And if we won't do that,

0:02:16.697 --> 0:02:20.177
<v Speaker 1>he says, give us more anti aircraft, like the S

0:02:20.257 --> 0:02:23.857
<v Speaker 1>three hundred system that's actually a Russian system, give us

0:02:23.897 --> 0:02:27.897
<v Speaker 1>more anti aircraft, give us perhaps the switchblade drones that

0:02:27.977 --> 0:02:30.337
<v Speaker 1>some of you might be familiar with from Iraq and Afghanistan.

0:02:30.577 --> 0:02:35.057
<v Speaker 1>Use and help us with all the tools that you

0:02:35.097 --> 0:02:39.377
<v Speaker 1>can possibly muster so that we can defeat this Russian aggression.

0:02:39.377 --> 0:02:41.097
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's the basics of what he was saying

0:02:41.137 --> 0:02:43.537
<v Speaker 1>this morning. He also invoked nine to eleven and Pearl Harbor.

0:02:44.417 --> 0:02:46.057
<v Speaker 1>I'll just tell you at the end of the speech

0:02:46.097 --> 0:02:49.697
<v Speaker 1>he spoke in English, and I thought that was and

0:02:49.937 --> 0:02:51.497
<v Speaker 1>that's why he saved it till the end. But I

0:02:51.537 --> 0:02:54.337
<v Speaker 1>wish he had spoken in English the whole time, because

0:02:54.377 --> 0:02:59.457
<v Speaker 1>speaking through a translator was just not as powerful. Theater.

0:02:59.577 --> 0:03:03.297
<v Speaker 1>They also had a video showing the atrocities going on

0:03:03.417 --> 0:03:06.777
<v Speaker 1>right now in Ukraine. This is meant to be understand

0:03:06.817 --> 0:03:11.817
<v Speaker 1>this emotionally compelling sucks that we make a decision based

0:03:11.897 --> 0:03:14.697
<v Speaker 1>upon the emotion of the moment we as a country,

0:03:15.497 --> 0:03:18.937
<v Speaker 1>and we've been giving Ukraine munitions. We can give them more.

0:03:19.497 --> 0:03:22.457
<v Speaker 1>I think there is an interesting debate on whether or

0:03:22.497 --> 0:03:25.257
<v Speaker 1>not giving Ukraine MiGs is a good idea and would

0:03:25.257 --> 0:03:30.137
<v Speaker 1>even change very much. But we have to draw a

0:03:30.177 --> 0:03:34.777
<v Speaker 1>line at getting into a war ourselves with Russia. And

0:03:35.057 --> 0:03:37.257
<v Speaker 1>this is a country that just invaded a neighbor that

0:03:37.417 --> 0:03:39.617
<v Speaker 1>is very similar, that was thought of as a brother

0:03:39.737 --> 0:03:42.657
<v Speaker 1>or sister country for a very long time by the Russians,

0:03:43.657 --> 0:03:49.137
<v Speaker 1>and they are leveling its cities and firing missiles at hospitals. So,

0:03:49.537 --> 0:03:52.377
<v Speaker 1>given what the Russian military has been willing to do

0:03:52.497 --> 0:03:55.297
<v Speaker 1>up to this point, on what basis would we say,

0:03:55.377 --> 0:03:58.977
<v Speaker 1>it's just too much to even think that they would

0:03:59.057 --> 0:04:02.217
<v Speaker 1>use a tactical nuclear weapon. For example, it's too much

0:04:02.257 --> 0:04:06.777
<v Speaker 1>to even think that they would escalate dramatically by attacking

0:04:07.177 --> 0:04:10.217
<v Speaker 1>planes in Ukrainian airspace with either their own sor US

0:04:10.257 --> 0:04:12.377
<v Speaker 1>to air missiles the S three hundred, four hundred AS

0:04:12.417 --> 0:04:17.017
<v Speaker 1>five hundred SAM systems that Russia developed and has plenty

0:04:17.057 --> 0:04:21.057
<v Speaker 1>of capability with or with their own planes. Now, I

0:04:21.057 --> 0:04:24.537
<v Speaker 1>would ask you, let's say we do have a Russian

0:04:24.777 --> 0:04:27.217
<v Speaker 1>or rather a Ukrainian no flies on. Let's say we

0:04:27.217 --> 0:04:31.297
<v Speaker 1>were to do this, I would want to know, does

0:04:31.297 --> 0:04:33.297
<v Speaker 1>that mean that they engage targets on the ground. What

0:04:33.377 --> 0:04:35.937
<v Speaker 1>happens when Russian ground targets fire at our no fly

0:04:36.057 --> 0:04:39.377
<v Speaker 1>zone at the planes that we would have in the sky,

0:04:38.817 --> 0:04:41.497
<v Speaker 1>do we engage then Russian targets in the ground, and

0:04:41.577 --> 0:04:44.097
<v Speaker 1>the rules of engagement would have to be yes, you

0:04:44.137 --> 0:04:46.577
<v Speaker 1>have to allow people, you have to allow your own

0:04:46.617 --> 0:04:50.297
<v Speaker 1>forces self defense. So now you're talking about engaging ground targets. Well,

0:04:50.337 --> 0:04:53.617
<v Speaker 1>then once you've done that, how are you not at war?

0:04:53.817 --> 0:04:57.057
<v Speaker 1>Once you're firing missiles at targets on the ground, never

0:04:57.097 --> 0:04:59.697
<v Speaker 1>mind targets in the sky. Aren't you at war with

0:04:59.737 --> 0:05:03.537
<v Speaker 1>that country? Aren't you a belligerent a combatant. This is

0:05:03.577 --> 0:05:05.217
<v Speaker 1>what I think people that are advocating for a no

0:05:05.337 --> 0:05:08.697
<v Speaker 1>fly zone either haven't thought through or certainly haven't thought

0:05:08.697 --> 0:05:14.737
<v Speaker 1>through enough. We do not we do not want to

0:05:14.777 --> 0:05:17.417
<v Speaker 1>get into a war here for a country that, as

0:05:17.457 --> 0:05:21.897
<v Speaker 1>many have pointed out, is not America and is not

0:05:21.977 --> 0:05:25.977
<v Speaker 1>American key national security interest. We have a defense department.

0:05:26.017 --> 0:05:28.257
<v Speaker 1>We do not have a make war on behalf of

0:05:28.297 --> 0:05:31.017
<v Speaker 1>anyone anywhere around the world who has been attacked department.

0:05:31.697 --> 0:05:34.897
<v Speaker 1>And I understand that right now this can sound this

0:05:34.937 --> 0:05:37.257
<v Speaker 1>can sound harsh, but I would also remind everybody that

0:05:37.657 --> 0:05:41.097
<v Speaker 1>from the very beginning, the very beginning, some of us,

0:05:42.057 --> 0:05:44.177
<v Speaker 1>myself included, have been warning that this is going to

0:05:44.257 --> 0:05:46.657
<v Speaker 1>be much more difficult. Sure, we want to stay out

0:05:46.697 --> 0:05:48.137
<v Speaker 1>of a war Everyone wants stay out of a war

0:05:48.217 --> 0:05:51.417
<v Speaker 1>until the bombs start falling on civilians and the hospitals

0:05:51.417 --> 0:05:54.857
<v Speaker 1>are collapsing and the children are turned into refugees or

0:05:54.937 --> 0:05:57.897
<v Speaker 1>orphans or worse. Everybody wants to stay at a war

0:05:57.937 --> 0:06:02.257
<v Speaker 1>until that happens. It's when you see the horrors of

0:06:02.777 --> 0:06:04.657
<v Speaker 1>war and you see that it is, in fact the

0:06:04.657 --> 0:06:08.097
<v Speaker 1>most hellish thing that human beings can endure, that all

0:06:08.137 --> 0:06:10.737
<v Speaker 1>of a sudden you are driven by motion to make

0:06:10.857 --> 0:06:13.577
<v Speaker 1>very different decisions. And I would hope that we can

0:06:13.577 --> 0:06:16.897
<v Speaker 1>avoid doing that, because if you think what we're seeing

0:06:16.977 --> 0:06:20.017
<v Speaker 1>right now in Ukraine is bad, imagine if this turned

0:06:20.017 --> 0:06:24.857
<v Speaker 1>into a broader conflagration involving Russia, perhaps even bringing in Iranian.

0:06:25.737 --> 0:06:28.257
<v Speaker 1>Iranian military action on their behalf of the Middle least

0:06:28.297 --> 0:06:33.537
<v Speaker 1>to make things more destabilized, just like the world on fire.

0:06:33.617 --> 0:06:36.977
<v Speaker 1>The Syrians are already saying they're going to send soldiers

0:06:37.177 --> 0:06:40.577
<v Speaker 1>into Ukraine on behalf of Russia. They've already offered to

0:06:40.617 --> 0:06:42.817
<v Speaker 1>do this. Whether that's actually going on or not, I

0:06:42.937 --> 0:06:46.297
<v Speaker 1>want to look into. But imagine what it starts to

0:06:46.297 --> 0:06:49.177
<v Speaker 1>look like when we have Russian military feeling like they

0:06:49.217 --> 0:06:52.697
<v Speaker 1>are now cornered. Because I know that That's not how

0:06:52.737 --> 0:06:55.457
<v Speaker 1>we would view it, but that's how they would view it.

0:06:55.457 --> 0:06:58.337
<v Speaker 1>It's their home territory, it's not ours. Now they're cornered

0:06:58.377 --> 0:07:02.337
<v Speaker 1>by United States military and its NATO allies. What will

0:07:02.377 --> 0:07:05.777
<v Speaker 1>they what would putin be willing to do? Then? Now,

0:07:05.977 --> 0:07:08.617
<v Speaker 1>in the background of all this as well, let's understand

0:07:09.217 --> 0:07:13.537
<v Speaker 1>that there's already negotiations occurring here. The Kremlin has said,

0:07:13.777 --> 0:07:16.217
<v Speaker 1>I know this is coming from the Kremlin, but this

0:07:16.297 --> 0:07:19.577
<v Speaker 1>is being reported by Western news sources that a neutral

0:07:19.697 --> 0:07:22.857
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine along the lines of Sweden or Austria is being

0:07:22.897 --> 0:07:29.377
<v Speaker 1>discussed at talks to end the fighting in Ukraine. Kremlin

0:07:29.457 --> 0:07:31.937
<v Speaker 1>spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, this is an option that's being

0:07:31.937 --> 0:07:36.097
<v Speaker 1>discussed now, can be considered as a compromise, and neutrality

0:07:36.137 --> 0:07:39.297
<v Speaker 1>is taking center stage at the talks. Moscow and Kiev

0:07:39.337 --> 0:07:43.217
<v Speaker 1>were close to agreeing the wording on neutrality. Rather, the

0:07:43.257 --> 0:07:46.057
<v Speaker 1>two sides have held several rounds of negotiations aimed at

0:07:46.057 --> 0:07:51.177
<v Speaker 1>finding common ground and bringing a halt to hostilities. So

0:07:51.217 --> 0:07:53.897
<v Speaker 1>there's already discussion here. This is not jihadis who are

0:07:53.937 --> 0:07:56.217
<v Speaker 1>looking to just murder absolutely everybody in a country because

0:07:56.217 --> 0:07:59.057
<v Speaker 1>they hate them. In their way of life. This is

0:07:59.257 --> 0:08:03.177
<v Speaker 1>a vicious power play by Vladimir Putin, who viewed this

0:08:03.217 --> 0:08:06.817
<v Speaker 1>as in the national security and strategic interests of the

0:08:06.897 --> 0:08:09.657
<v Speaker 1>Russian Federation. We can argue without all day, but that's

0:08:09.657 --> 0:08:13.697
<v Speaker 1>how he sees it, and there's something that he wants here. Now.

0:08:13.737 --> 0:08:16.737
<v Speaker 1>If what he wants is a guarantee of Ukrainian neutrality,

0:08:17.417 --> 0:08:20.377
<v Speaker 1>isn't that a price that we should be willing to

0:08:20.497 --> 0:08:26.177
<v Speaker 1>encourage the parties involved here to settle on so that

0:08:26.217 --> 0:08:28.977
<v Speaker 1>the fighting actually stops. If it could stop the violence tomorrow,

0:08:29.377 --> 0:08:33.297
<v Speaker 1>would a guarantee of Ukrainian neutrality be worth it? I

0:08:33.337 --> 0:08:36.337
<v Speaker 1>would think the answer is yes. I know that right now,

0:08:36.377 --> 0:08:39.257
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't appeal to the emotions of folks who want

0:08:39.577 --> 0:08:42.777
<v Speaker 1>a glorious Ukrainian resistance victory. We all like to side

0:08:42.777 --> 0:08:45.057
<v Speaker 1>with the underdog. We all like to side with the

0:08:45.097 --> 0:08:47.417
<v Speaker 1>person who is being bullied, and there's no question that

0:08:47.537 --> 0:08:50.617
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine is the party here that's being bullied and much

0:08:50.657 --> 0:08:54.497
<v Speaker 1>worse than that. But don't we want this to end

0:08:54.537 --> 0:08:59.457
<v Speaker 1>as quickly as possible? Right We're not talking about Ukrainians

0:09:00.137 --> 0:09:02.617
<v Speaker 1>according to the negotiations we've seen, They're not being marched

0:09:02.657 --> 0:09:07.577
<v Speaker 1>off to camp somewhere This isn't This isn't a campaign

0:09:07.697 --> 0:09:13.777
<v Speaker 1>intended to ethnically cleanse Ukraine of all Ukrainians. There are

0:09:13.817 --> 0:09:17.737
<v Speaker 1>times when fighting until the absolute, very bitter end to

0:09:17.777 --> 0:09:20.737
<v Speaker 1>the last man, the last person who can draw breath

0:09:20.777 --> 0:09:24.177
<v Speaker 1>and raise a rifle, should take up arms and continue

0:09:24.177 --> 0:09:27.057
<v Speaker 1>to take up arms, arms against an aggressor. I'll think

0:09:27.057 --> 0:09:29.497
<v Speaker 1>of World War two. I think of other instances throughout history.

0:09:29.697 --> 0:09:33.937
<v Speaker 1>This is not that. There are negotiations underway right now

0:09:34.217 --> 0:09:37.017
<v Speaker 1>to end this thing, and afterwards, if we were together,

0:09:37.097 --> 0:09:39.137
<v Speaker 1>then we gonna have a whole conversation about, Okay, how

0:09:39.177 --> 0:09:40.617
<v Speaker 1>do we get to this place, how do we stop

0:09:40.617 --> 0:09:43.177
<v Speaker 1>this from happening again? What do we do so that

0:09:43.337 --> 0:09:46.457
<v Speaker 1>Ukraine is powerful enough that it could defend itself from

0:09:46.497 --> 0:09:49.777
<v Speaker 1>future aggression. All that could happen right now. The buildings

0:09:49.777 --> 0:09:53.937
<v Speaker 1>are being hit with missiles right now, Civilians are losing

0:09:53.977 --> 0:09:56.657
<v Speaker 1>their lives trying to go get bread or milk at

0:09:56.697 --> 0:09:59.777
<v Speaker 1>the store. So I want that to end as quickly

0:09:59.777 --> 0:10:01.657
<v Speaker 1>as possible. I think we all want that to end

0:10:01.657 --> 0:10:04.937
<v Speaker 1>as fast as possible. This is not about glorious narratives

0:10:04.937 --> 0:10:08.097
<v Speaker 1>of resistance. This is not a movie. So there's already

0:10:08.297 --> 0:10:11.817
<v Speaker 1>there's already engagement between the war parties to try to

0:10:11.857 --> 0:10:17.497
<v Speaker 1>bring this to a conclusion, and we should do everything

0:10:17.497 --> 0:10:21.377
<v Speaker 1>we can to help get it there. Sure, it is

0:10:21.457 --> 0:10:24.017
<v Speaker 1>raising the cost of Russia's invasion more likely to make

0:10:24.017 --> 0:10:27.457
<v Speaker 1>them go to the negotiating table. Yeah, we want Russia

0:10:27.657 --> 0:10:31.817
<v Speaker 1>to change its calculation so that ending the fighting is

0:10:31.817 --> 0:10:35.577
<v Speaker 1>what they decide to do. Escalation is the worst option

0:10:35.617 --> 0:10:39.377
<v Speaker 1>because that then encourages Russia to continue and make worse

0:10:39.497 --> 0:10:43.297
<v Speaker 1>the fighting. These are the kinds of calculations that we

0:10:43.337 --> 0:10:47.137
<v Speaker 1>have to make as outsiders to this who are increasingly

0:10:47.177 --> 0:10:49.897
<v Speaker 1>being told we have to go all in and do

0:10:50.057 --> 0:10:52.457
<v Speaker 1>more and more. I mean, how far do you think

0:10:52.457 --> 0:10:54.977
<v Speaker 1>it is really from a no fly zone to the

0:10:55.057 --> 0:10:59.137
<v Speaker 1>US flying air strikes on behalf of Ukrainian defenders and

0:10:59.217 --> 0:11:02.137
<v Speaker 1>at that point we're clearly belligerents in Russia would view

0:11:02.257 --> 0:11:04.537
<v Speaker 1>us as in a state of war. It's not far.

0:11:04.977 --> 0:11:06.897
<v Speaker 1>That's why people have to be very careful about this.

0:11:07.577 --> 0:11:10.337
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about oil prices and inflation and second here,

0:11:10.417 --> 0:11:12.257
<v Speaker 1>one of the smartest actions you have to take to

0:11:12.297 --> 0:11:14.497
<v Speaker 1>preserve the value of your savings account is to invest

0:11:14.537 --> 0:11:18.057
<v Speaker 1>a portion of your savings in real gold. It's been

0:11:18.097 --> 0:11:20.497
<v Speaker 1>proven to be the most consistent precious metal and commodity

0:11:20.537 --> 0:11:22.497
<v Speaker 1>over time in the year like the one we've had

0:11:22.497 --> 0:11:25.177
<v Speaker 1>with inflation figure showing a seven point five percent increase

0:11:25.217 --> 0:11:27.217
<v Speaker 1>in a year's time and more of that coming our

0:11:27.257 --> 0:11:30.097
<v Speaker 1>way this year. Real gold is a form of protection

0:11:30.497 --> 0:11:32.897
<v Speaker 1>and buying real gold is made easy by the Oxford

0:11:32.897 --> 0:11:35.297

<v Speaker 1>kind of thing can happen with your IRA or four

<v Speaker 1>the keywords gold. I was just talking to my brothers

0:12:15.977 --> 0:12:18.017
<v Speaker 1>about Oxford Gold and how they should get some gold

0:12:18.177 --> 0:12:21.137
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to do it. So given the way

0:12:21.137 --> 0:12:23.537
<v Speaker 1>inflation is going, you've got to take this stuff seriously.

0:12:23.577 --> 0:12:26.657
<v Speaker 1>You want to take action now. And if you think

0:12:26.657 --> 0:12:28.417
<v Speaker 1>that they're going to be able to fix all this stuff,

0:12:30.017 --> 0:12:34.297
<v Speaker 1>they're not. Here is the former Federal Reserve Vice chairman

0:12:35.617 --> 0:12:40.217
<v Speaker 1>saying that there's a pretty tough situation emerging. You're economically

0:12:40.217 --> 0:12:44.177
<v Speaker 1>where you could see stagflation start to emerge. The fan

0:12:44.337 --> 0:12:49.497
<v Speaker 1>is walking on a tight boat where indeed conversations around

0:12:49.577 --> 0:12:54.497
<v Speaker 1>stagflation are starting to emerge. You put your finger on

0:12:54.937 --> 0:12:59.257
<v Speaker 1>the downside risk, which is dramatic movement oil prices, China

0:12:59.337 --> 0:13:01.777
<v Speaker 1>again doing a lockdown, which is, you know, one of

0:13:01.817 --> 0:13:04.497
<v Speaker 1>the injuns of growth that remains in the world. And

0:13:04.577 --> 0:13:07.217
<v Speaker 1>so there are some people who are saying, if the

0:13:07.297 --> 0:13:10.177
<v Speaker 1>fifth not careful, it could hike too much and and

0:13:10.297 --> 0:13:16.017
<v Speaker 1>invertly throw the US into our session. You see, math

0:13:16.137 --> 0:13:19.617
<v Speaker 1>is ultimately the problem here. You put more currency into

0:13:19.657 --> 0:13:24.497
<v Speaker 1>circulation and you create inflation. And now they're saying, well,

0:13:24.537 --> 0:13:27.417
<v Speaker 1>if we raise the interest rate, that will help with

0:13:27.457 --> 0:13:31.177
<v Speaker 1>the issue of inflation, but that also could perhaps trigger

0:13:31.617 --> 0:13:35.977
<v Speaker 1>higher unemployment and a recession. What is stagflation for everybody

0:13:36.017 --> 0:13:37.737
<v Speaker 1>out there, just so we're all on the same page.

0:13:38.257 --> 0:13:41.817
<v Speaker 1>A situation in which the inflation rate is high, the

0:13:41.977 --> 0:13:48.417
<v Speaker 1>economic growth rate slows, and unemployment remains high. So you

0:13:48.417 --> 0:13:53.057
<v Speaker 1>get high unemployment, slow economic growth, and high inflation, a

0:13:53.057 --> 0:13:55.497
<v Speaker 1>lot of people without jobs, not a lot of growth

0:13:55.537 --> 0:13:58.257
<v Speaker 1>out there, and the dollars that you have are worth less.

0:13:59.697 --> 0:14:04.737
<v Speaker 1>That's a bad situation economically. That's that's something that as

0:14:04.737 --> 0:14:06.577
<v Speaker 1>you see it play out, you can understand how that

0:14:06.577 --> 0:14:11.257
<v Speaker 1>would be a lot of misery. And it's it's astonishing

0:14:12.297 --> 0:14:15.497
<v Speaker 1>that the Democrat Party, I mean, at this stage, we

0:14:15.577 --> 0:14:18.097
<v Speaker 1>should be unleashing the energy sector. We should be saying,

0:14:18.257 --> 0:14:22.537
<v Speaker 1>go crazy with those fossil fuels right now, get it

0:14:22.577 --> 0:14:26.457
<v Speaker 1>out there, bring down the cost of everything, export more,

0:14:26.937 --> 0:14:30.937
<v Speaker 1>give some real rocket fuel to the global economy, but

0:14:30.977 --> 0:14:34.497
<v Speaker 1>to the US economy most importantly, by putting US fuel

0:14:34.577 --> 0:14:37.457
<v Speaker 1>out there as much and as fast as we possibly can.

0:14:37.737 --> 0:14:42.617
<v Speaker 1>But to see, the Democrat Party is unfortunately in thrall

0:14:42.737 --> 0:14:47.817
<v Speaker 1>to and dominated by left wing climate change green energy lunatics,

0:14:48.377 --> 0:14:50.897
<v Speaker 1>and as a result of that, they're unwilling to do

0:14:51.017 --> 0:14:54.497
<v Speaker 1>the very straightforward things, the very basic things that could

0:14:54.497 --> 0:14:58.297
<v Speaker 1>be done to help with oil production, to help with

0:14:58.377 --> 0:15:02.737
<v Speaker 1>getting more fossil fuels out there. And there's obviously a

0:15:02.817 --> 0:15:06.497
<v Speaker 1>huge national security implications to this. I mean, here's Senator

0:15:06.537 --> 0:15:10.337
<v Speaker 1>Ted Cruz. For economic and national security reasons. We want

0:15:10.337 --> 0:15:14.257
<v Speaker 1>to just go take the dial to eleven on fossil

0:15:14.297 --> 0:15:18.457
<v Speaker 1>fuel production domestically right now, and right now, Biden's emissaries

0:15:18.977 --> 0:15:23.737
<v Speaker 1>are in Venezuela begging Maduro to sell US oil and

0:15:23.817 --> 0:15:27.177
<v Speaker 1>are in Vienna trying to beg the Aetolin irand to

0:15:27.257 --> 0:15:29.817
<v Speaker 1>sell US oil. They want every enemy of America to

0:15:29.857 --> 0:15:33.097
<v Speaker 1>get rich, to make billions to use to kill Americans.

0:15:33.297 --> 0:15:35.977
<v Speaker 1>And the one people they don't want to actually sell

0:15:36.017 --> 0:15:40.257
<v Speaker 1>oil and gas are Americans that produce American jobs. It

0:15:40.417 --> 0:15:43.097
<v Speaker 1>is literally, if you sat down and said, every enemy

0:15:43.097 --> 0:15:46.457
<v Speaker 1>of America, let's help them, let's benefit them, every friend

0:15:46.457 --> 0:15:51.137
<v Speaker 1>of America, let's alienate them, let's undercut them, let's hurt them. Sean,

0:15:51.217 --> 0:15:54.257
<v Speaker 1>you would not devise a different foreign policy than the

0:15:54.297 --> 0:15:57.217
<v Speaker 1>one Biden and Kamala put in place. There's a reason

0:15:57.297 --> 0:16:03.017
<v Speaker 1>for this, we know what it is. They are dominated

0:16:03.137 --> 0:16:08.577
<v Speaker 1>ideologically by the environmentalist, lunatic green New Deal left. They

0:16:08.577 --> 0:16:11.977
<v Speaker 1>will freak out because they're religious believers in climate change.

0:16:11.977 --> 0:16:15.217
<v Speaker 1>In the Democrat Party. It doesn't matter that there's a

0:16:15.217 --> 0:16:17.697
<v Speaker 1>war going on that we would have a stronger hand

0:16:17.777 --> 0:16:19.657
<v Speaker 1>in helping bring to a close if we were in

0:16:19.657 --> 0:16:22.657
<v Speaker 1>a better energy position. It doesn't matter to them that

0:16:22.737 --> 0:16:26.177
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people are going to have less money

0:16:26.217 --> 0:16:29.577
<v Speaker 1>to buy food at the grocery store because of inflation

0:16:29.697 --> 0:16:32.097
<v Speaker 1>or their money is worth less. It doesn't matter to

0:16:32.217 --> 0:16:34.417
<v Speaker 1>them that people are going to suffer, that unemployment might

0:16:34.417 --> 0:16:36.577
<v Speaker 1>get higher, that stagflation could be on the horizon, that

0:16:36.617 --> 0:16:39.257
<v Speaker 1>a recession could be on the horizon. They think they're

0:16:39.337 --> 0:16:44.257
<v Speaker 1>saving the planet worth saving the planet, don't you see?

0:16:44.577 --> 0:16:47.297
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I take private jets, but you pours, you

0:16:47.417 --> 0:16:51.057
<v Speaker 1>have to walk. That's the problem. You want to know

0:16:51.057 --> 0:16:53.817
<v Speaker 1>what the issue is with American energy sector, that's the problem.

0:16:53.857 --> 0:16:59.337
<v Speaker 1>That and just the general hyper regulatory madness of the

0:16:59.457 --> 0:17:03.137
<v Speaker 1>authoritarian left would do this because we say so, We

0:17:03.217 --> 0:17:06.097
<v Speaker 1>want control this, because we say so, which right, which

0:17:06.097 --> 0:17:10.177
<v Speaker 1>adds cost tremendous costs through all kinds of regulation, not

0:17:10.177 --> 0:17:12.217
<v Speaker 1>just on the energy sector that you end up paying

0:17:12.297 --> 0:17:14.497
<v Speaker 1>as a consumer, And there's no benefit to it other

0:17:14.537 --> 0:17:18.417
<v Speaker 1>than the Libs get to feel good about themselves. I

0:17:18.457 --> 0:17:22.097
<v Speaker 1>feel good about myself, and this is what it is.

0:17:22.097 --> 0:17:25.577
<v Speaker 1>They're the emotion party, the whiney cry baby, don't think

0:17:25.617 --> 0:17:28.017
<v Speaker 1>it through party. But if it feels good to them

0:17:28.257 --> 0:17:30.337
<v Speaker 1>at the moment at the time, if they get to

0:17:30.337 --> 0:17:33.897
<v Speaker 1>be a part of the shouting herd we're the good people,

0:17:34.057 --> 0:17:35.897
<v Speaker 1>then they'll do it. Then they go for it, then

0:17:35.937 --> 0:17:40.697
<v Speaker 1>nothing else really matters to them. Mitt Romney, I am

0:17:40.737 --> 0:17:43.417
<v Speaker 1>embarrassed that I voted for this guy in twenty twelve.

0:17:43.737 --> 0:17:48.297
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it was the lesser evil, but still not good.

0:17:48.657 --> 0:17:52.577
<v Speaker 1>Mitt Romney voted against ending the mask mandate on planes

0:17:53.017 --> 0:17:57.337
<v Speaker 1>eight Democrats. Eight Democrats went along with it. Mit Romney

0:17:57.377 --> 0:18:01.537
<v Speaker 1>votes against it. He is appalling. We will talk about

0:18:01.537 --> 0:18:05.737
<v Speaker 1>this in just a moment. The tax filing deadlines a

0:18:05.777 --> 0:18:08.017
<v Speaker 1>little more than a month away on April eighteenth this year.

0:18:08.097 --> 0:18:11.297

0:18:19.697 --> 0:18:22.497

<v Speaker 1>well at least. The Senate votes to repeal mask mandates

0:19:21.177 --> 0:19:24.257
<v Speaker 1>thanks to Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky on public transportation,

0:19:24.937 --> 0:19:27.457
<v Speaker 1>and the final vote was fifty seven to forty eight

0:19:27.457 --> 0:19:31.057
<v Speaker 1>Democrats went in favor of it. Mitt Romney is such

0:19:31.097 --> 0:19:34.977
<v Speaker 1>a clown, such a jackass he votes against this. Why

0:19:35.657 --> 0:19:38.617
<v Speaker 1>he's really that much of a little virtue signaling clown,

0:19:39.177 --> 0:19:40.937
<v Speaker 1>Yes he is. He was also out there, Oh, I'm

0:19:40.977 --> 0:19:43.417
<v Speaker 1>marching for BOLM because I'm Mitt Romney and I really

0:19:43.457 --> 0:19:46.377
<v Speaker 1>care about the plight of minorities in America's inner cities.

0:19:46.457 --> 0:19:49.857
<v Speaker 1>Nobody believed that, but he thought it made him look good,

0:19:50.417 --> 0:19:53.537
<v Speaker 1>so that's what mattered to him. Look, they've extended the

0:19:53.617 --> 0:19:57.057
<v Speaker 1>federal mask mandate through April eighteenth, which is lunacy. Okay,

0:19:57.577 --> 0:20:01.377
<v Speaker 1>this is indefensibly stupid. Everyone's living their lives without masks

0:20:01.377 --> 0:20:03.697
<v Speaker 1>on now everywhere else unless they're crazy and they're suffering

0:20:03.697 --> 0:20:06.377
<v Speaker 1>from a mass hysteria. But on planes you have to

0:20:06.417 --> 0:20:10.697
<v Speaker 1>mask up. Why it makes no sense. But you see,

0:20:10.737 --> 0:20:12.617
<v Speaker 1>for so many of them, this was always about how

0:20:12.617 --> 0:20:15.777
<v Speaker 1>it makes them feel. How does it make them feel

0:20:15.777 --> 0:20:18.217
<v Speaker 1>when the casts vote? Romney says, Oh, but it's not

0:20:18.297 --> 0:20:21.577
<v Speaker 1>the Senate job. We listen to health experts. Wrong. Wrong.

0:20:21.657 --> 0:20:25.577
<v Speaker 1>The health experts work for the executive branch in an

0:20:25.617 --> 0:20:29.697
<v Speaker 1>advisory role. It is the job of Congress on an

0:20:29.697 --> 0:20:33.097
<v Speaker 1>issue like interstate travel in planes. It is the job

0:20:33.137 --> 0:20:36.057
<v Speaker 1>of Congress to vote on this and to determine whether

0:20:36.217 --> 0:20:38.177
<v Speaker 1>or not this should be done. And yes, it is

0:20:38.217 --> 0:20:40.337
<v Speaker 1>more ronic to make people mask up on planes, but

0:20:40.377 --> 0:20:42.977
<v Speaker 1>at least it is a congressional thing. It's not a

0:20:43.057 --> 0:20:46.817
<v Speaker 1>federal executive agency. The bureaucrats aren't supposed to do this.

0:20:46.977 --> 0:20:51.297
<v Speaker 1>Mitt Romney is a coward, a coward if you're wondering

0:20:51.337 --> 0:20:54.417
<v Speaker 1>where to think about it. That's it for today, team,

0:20:54.457 --> 0:20:56.697
<v Speaker 1>I'll be back with you tomorrow. Shield tie
