1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Stay right here for our final news round up and 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: information overload and news round Up, Information overload hour toll free. 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred and nine four one shown if you 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. We have 5 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: a lot of economic news. We now are on the 6 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:19,279 Speaker 1: verge of this possible rail strike, which would be catastrophic. Now, 7 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: the unions were offered a pretty good deal twenty four 8 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,320 Speaker 1: percent increase back pay of about on average eleven thousand 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: dollars and more sick time off. It's interesting the Biden 10 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: who told us in September that he had resolved the issues. 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: He only passed the buck to get past the election. 12 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: It's a pretty dramatic departure now that Biden wants Congress 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 1: to do his job and force the rail unions to take, 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, a deal and avert this strike. I thought 15 00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: this was the Joe Biden that was, you know, mister 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: pro union. Apparently not anyway. He said there's no path 17 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: to resolve the dispute at the bargaining table. And it 18 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: was last year that he was backing the unionization for 19 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: example of Amazon. Last year he was pushing for the 20 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:11,320 Speaker 1: unionization of drives and praised organized labor. He proposed as 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: Protecting the Right to Organize Act, aimed at unionizing practically 22 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: the entire workforce. But instead now Biden can't get a 23 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 1: deal done. So he's saying, Congress, we need you to 24 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: fix this really, really quickly. I'm not sure how that's 25 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 1: going to work out. We did get some data, I 26 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 1: mean it's relatively minor, but okay, not bad, the second 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: estimate showing that the US third quarter GDP went up 28 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: two point nine percent. The expectation was two point seven percent, 29 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: coming after two negative readings of one point six and 30 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: zero point six in quarters one and two, respectively. You 31 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 1: would think over at CNBC that everybody just got a 32 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,559 Speaker 1: million dollars in the mail, that this is somewhat significant. 33 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: I don't believe it is. But anywhere the House now 34 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: beginning to take up legislation to avert this rail strike. 35 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: What it mean for the American people. Well, we bring 36 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: in our friend David Bonson. He is the co founder 37 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: managing partner of the Bonson Group, author of the book 38 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 1: Dividend Cafe. It's actually a website. It launched a six 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: part series, No Free Lunch and Defensive Capitalism. Our friend 40 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: Steve Moore is with US economist author of Trump and 41 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: Omics Inside the American First Plan to Revive our economy. 42 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: Steve Moore, let me start with you. Let's talk about, 43 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: first of all, the rail strike, Joe's changing position, and 44 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: if it does occur, what does it mean. Well, first 45 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: of all, Joe, I mean, Sean, isn't it surprising that 46 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: we have this imminent rail strike when what was it 47 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 1: about three or four or five weeks ago? Joe Biden 48 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: had a major press conference, remember in the Rose Garden, 49 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: where he said mission accomplished, We've solved this problem. And 50 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of suspicious to me, Sean, that here we are, 51 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,959 Speaker 1: two weeks after the election, and now all of a 52 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: sudden we have a real strike impending. I wonder if 53 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,119 Speaker 1: that was a deal made between the unions. One thing 54 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: you said shown, which is that this sounds like a 55 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: pretty good deal for the unions. I'm not so sure 56 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 1: about that. Now. Normally I'd say, yes, well, they're getting increase, yea, 57 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: and they're getting an eleven thousand dollars bonus check on 58 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: average doesn't sound awful. Yeah, it's not awful. But here's 59 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: the point. Yeah, a twenty four percent increase is you 60 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: know in normal times, a really good day raise. But 61 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: let's not forget We've had fourteen percent inflation since Biden 62 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: came into office already, and if you think we're going 63 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 1: to continue to five or six percent inflation, you know 64 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: they're barely keeping up with the inflation. My point is 65 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: that Biden inflation is causing labor unrest all over the country. 66 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna have more strikes. Remember what happened 67 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,280 Speaker 1: in the nineteen seventies when we have rapid inflation. You 68 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: had all sorts of strikes, and workers were agitated. They 69 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: were angry, as they should be. And my point is 70 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: this is all result Abiden letting this inflation get so 71 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: out of control. And I'm not so sure I like 72 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: the idea of Congressional Congress intervening here. I mean, why 73 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 1: don't they basically have the rail workers and the companies 74 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: come to an agreement that they can both live with, 75 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: because this may not be a good deal for the workers. 76 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but I don't. I don't like the 77 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: idea of Congress imposing this on the companies and the workers. 78 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: What should take David Bunsen, You know these things are 79 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 1: so uncomfortable for conservatives like myself, where you have to 80 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: give an opinion on what they're doing within a framework 81 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: that you don't agree with any of it. I don't 82 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: want the Congress. That is a great way to put it. 83 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: I wish I said it that way. That is exactly right. Well, 84 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: thank you, Sean. I think that this is a good deal, 85 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: and if I were a party in the transaction, I 86 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: would be taking the deal. And yet I'm not a 87 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: party in the transaction. And you know who else isn't 88 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 1: President Biden. Now here's the thing. They gave them legislative 89 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: authority thirty years ago. So now Congress does have an 90 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 1: authority that I don't think they should have. But as 91 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 1: Steve pointed out, you have forty unions not liking it, 92 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: eight unions to do like it, and it does appear 93 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: they have the votes to go forward force everyone to 94 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 1: do it. I just think the whole thing speaks to 95 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: the untenable relationship between labor and big government, and that 96 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: ultimately we should be restoring the economic principle of wage 97 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 1: earners and management coming to deals on their own and 98 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: not needing government to be involved. What do you think 99 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: when you look at it through the prism of history, 100 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 1: and one of Ronald Reagan's first acts was to fire 101 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 1: the air traffic controllers if they didn't get back to 102 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: work right. And that's an example where they had that 103 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: authority and he took the hardline approach, and I think 104 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: it was an historically powerful moment. I do think if 105 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: President Biden to say, fine, we're going to fire the 106 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: rail workers or allow this strike to go through, I 107 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: think most people on the right would be real critical 108 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: of Biden if he did it now, because we have 109 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 1: all these supply chain problems that I think he largely exacerbated. 110 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,359 Speaker 1: And so it is true if you had a railroad 111 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: strike now, you would end up with even more supply 112 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: chain difficulties. So really, the president's in a no win situation, 113 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: and some of it's his own making, some of it's not, 114 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: if I'm being fair, But either way, the toughness that 115 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: President Reagan had is now leverage that this president doesn't 116 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: have because of the whole economic situation he's created. Let 117 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: me go to another issue involved in the economy, and 118 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: this deal that Joe Biden now apparently is made with 119 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: Chevron to allow them to start drilling again in Venezuela. 120 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: You know, it's fascinating as a country, we do not 121 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: even recognize Maduro as the duly elected president of Venezuela 122 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: to forty nine other countries. But putting that off to 123 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: the side, we have all this energy under our feet 124 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: here in America and offshore, more gas, more more oil, 125 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: more coal than these countries combined. Here is White House 126 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: Spokesman John Kirby being grilled by Fox's Peter Doocey over 127 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: this very issue on the sanctions relief for Venezuela. Yes, 128 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: why is it the president would rather let us companies 129 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: drill for oil in Venezuela than here in the US. 130 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: That's not an accurate take on the president's view. Earlier 131 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: this month he said no more drilling. There is no 132 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: more drilling. Does the President think there's some venefit to 133 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: the climate to drill oil in Venezuela and I here 134 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the benefit to the climate. Peter, 135 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: how do you reconcile that, Steve, Steve Moore, I go 136 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: through my list. It's better for us to be energy 137 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: independent because it's good for national security. It creates high 138 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: paying career jobs in the energy sector for American citizens. 139 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: It lowers the price at the pump. It lowers the 140 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: price to heat and cool your home. It would have 141 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 1: a big impact on the sporty year record high of inflation. 142 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 1: And yet they steadfastly will are unwilling to produce energy domestically, 143 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: but they're willing to import it from countries that hate us. 144 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: It makes no sense to me. Yeah, my head is 145 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: spinning around up about this as well. I think most 146 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: people don't get it, and it's incomprehensible. You know, when 147 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: I used to talk to Trump about energy policy, you know, 148 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: starting back in twenty sixteen, when he first started running 149 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: for president, he always talked about making America Saudi America. 150 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: And what he meant by that is We're going to 151 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: become the dominant energy country of the world. And Sean, 152 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 1: we did it. We accomplished that. By the end of 153 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 1: his presidency, we were producing moral and gaests than any 154 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: other country. This line by the White House. One day 155 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,080 Speaker 1: that they say they're pro drilling, the next day they 156 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,320 Speaker 1: say they want to shut down the drilling industry. Would 157 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: you think about it this way, Sean and David, would 158 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: you want to invest in an industry billions of dollars 159 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: when the president of the United States says, it wants 160 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 1: he wants to shut you down. And then he's saying, 161 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: why aren't they investing in these oil permits that they're providing, 162 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 1: because everything they're doing is trying to block American investment. 163 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: It's very simple, Sean. This president has declared war on 164 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,959 Speaker 1: American oil and gas and coal, but he hasn't declared 165 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: war on oil and gas and coal that comes from China, 166 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: that comes from Russia, that comes from Iran, and now 167 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: from Venezuela. No, it really is amazing, David Bonson, when 168 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 1: we have all these resources in every way I can 169 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 1: list every way imaginable America benefits by being energy and dependent. 170 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: And the reluctance, the resistance, the steadfast refusal even to 171 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: consider domestic production, it just doesn't make any sense to me. 172 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: And Peter's question is a question I've been asking for 173 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: a long time, and that is, what's the difference to 174 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: Mother Earth if you produce a barrel of oil in 175 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: America versus let's say, an OPEC country or Saudi Arabia 176 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: or Iran, or Russia or Venezuela. I mean, if anything, 177 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: we do a cleaner, we do it faster, we do 178 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: it cheaper, A cost less than you don't have the 179 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: transportation cost, you don't have the risk of the environment. 180 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: So this is a classic case where the problem for 181 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 1: the bad policy lies with the left and the problem 182 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 1: for the inadequate argument lies with the right. Is we 183 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: are not making the case. You just made enough, Sean, 184 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: that we are the environmentally superior alternative, that we by 185 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: advocating for our cleaner production of crude oil than global competitors, 186 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,680 Speaker 1: and by the way, our cleaner alternative using natural gas 187 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: versus a foreign country oil or even coal production, that 188 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: we are doing the more environment friendly thing. And so 189 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 1: I believe we have the right argument in every category geopolitically, economically, 190 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: and environmentally, but we ignore the environmental argument to our 191 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: own peril. I want to answer Steve's question. He said, hypothetically, 192 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: would you invest in companies when the presidents threatened to 193 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: shut you down? Well, I have invested hundreds of millions 194 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: of dollars of my own money and client capital in 195 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: that very thing. And the XN is up eighty six 196 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: percent this year. And you know why, because the president's 197 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: policies don't hurt the big guy, they hurt the little guy. 198 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: They hurt were smaller drillers, by the way, as much 199 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 1: as they've been hurt, it's only going to get worse 200 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: this winner. I mean, the projections are that energy prices, 201 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 1: heating your home prices are going to be up anywhere 202 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: between thirty and forty five percent from last year. And 203 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: god forbid, you live in Western Europe, You're going to 204 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: be spending up to a third or more of your 205 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: annual income just to heat your home at a minimal level. 206 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: And I think that that's the area that we have 207 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: the right argument to make that it's a supply side 208 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: problem that we need more production. And when the president 209 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: goes and fifth bumps with a Saudi Arabian autocrat when 210 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: he is blaming stuff on Putin, By the way, the 211 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: oil price right now today as we're talking, as lower 212 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 1: than it was the day Putin invaded Ukraine. I mean, 213 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 1: do people know that the biggest move higher in oil 214 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: prices started before heat. Now, we did get higher and 215 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: it's come lower. There's been volatility. But my point is 216 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,959 Speaker 1: blaming this on Putin is irrational. That he came in 217 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: and signaled he wasn't going to allow more production than 218 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: markets responded accordingly, We still to this day and I 219 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: said this last time I was on the show. We're 220 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: not using is not as much oil right now today 221 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: as we were before COVID demand. It's still not back 222 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: to the way the place it was before, and yet 223 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: oil prices are double. Why is that because of inadequate supply. 224 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: This is a production problem and it needs to stop. 225 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: Trunk cannot make a related point to this, which is 226 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: that makes me even more angrier than the Venezuela story. 227 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: And this happened a week before that, which is the 228 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,479 Speaker 1: President went to the Middle East for this carbon conference 229 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: on global warming, and he came he made an agreement 230 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: with these other nations that the United States of America 231 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: owes one billion dollars in quote climate reparations to the 232 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: rest of the world. That is insanity. Come out. It 233 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: was because the United States used fossil fuels that we 234 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: had the industrial revolution, that we create, that we created technology, 235 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 1: that we created the bread basket for the world. We've 236 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: provided five hundred billion dollars of foreign aid for the 237 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: rest of the world's run. And this President of the 238 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: United States says we owe these countries money. I mean, 239 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: my blood is boiling about that. All right, quick break, 240 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: We'll come back more with our economic experts, David Bunsen 241 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: and Stephen more on the other side than your calls. 242 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: Eight hundred and nine four one, Sean, if you want 243 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, He's no show, Joe, 244 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: no kid, have a problem, stayed in trouble, no power, 245 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: no water, no he no Joe.

I don't care if 250 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: what we're talking about the border or the price of 251 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: energy and eliminating energy independence, every single issue we are 252 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 1: dealing with, law and order, no bail, laws, defunding the police, 253 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: the problems we have in our woke schools by not 254 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: teaching reading, writing, mass science, arithmetic, and computers. It's all 255 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: these are self imposed problems and all preventable and all 256 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: easily fixable. But it's not going to happen with these 257 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: people in power anyway.

It's going to be interesting 294 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,640 Speaker 1: when Elon Musk's releases the suppression. I think it's related 295 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: to Hunter Biden's laptop and the weeks leading up to 296 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election. Everybody, Oh no, that looks like 297 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 1: Russian does information Russian disinformation. We can't allow people to 298 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 1: put out misinformation on Twitter, on Facebook, on Instagram or 299 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 1: any social media all turns out to be true. Now 300 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 1: you have the ex Twitter Safety chief, this guy, Yoel 301 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: Roth is his name, admitting that the Hunter Biden laptop 302 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 1: censorship was a mistake. Listen to this. Do you remember 303 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: the uncertainty of the of the whole story. We didn't 304 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: know what to believe, We didn't know what was true. 305 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: There was there was smoke, and ultimately, for me, it 306 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 1: didn't reach a place where I was comfortable removing this 307 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: content from Twitter. But it's set off every single one 308 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 1: of my finely tuned APT twenty eight hack in league campaign. 309 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: It looks possibly probably everything about it looked like he 310 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 1: did not want to do that, But it didn't get 311 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: there for me. When you feel a responsibility to protect 312 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: the integrity of the conversations on a platform from foreign 313 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: governments expending their resources to interfere in an election, there 314 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,480 Speaker 1: were lots of reasons why the entire industry was on 315 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: alert and was a mistake. And again for me, even 316 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: with all of those factors, it didn't get there for me. 317 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: In my opinion, yes, in my opinion. Yes you think, Oh, Linda, 318 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: did you know I could have been an All American quarterback? 319 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: Did you know I could have played professional hockey? You know, 320 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: you realize that I could have pitched no hitters in 321 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: the in Major League Baseball? Did you have any idea 322 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: of that? I actually just found out yesterday that you 323 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: were a champion soccer player. That's that was news. That 324 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: was actually news. Yes, by the way, And I hated soccer. 325 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,959 Speaker 1: I never liked soccer. I never I never had played before. 326 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: And by the time you know, I played one year, 327 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,880 Speaker 1: I was the guy that was kicking the corner kicking 328 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 1: over the corner kickers in soccer. Absolutely not. You have 329 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,199 Speaker 1: no idea, all right, not anyway? Uh? And I was, 330 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, and I would score the most goals. But 331 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 1: we had a horrible team because we had a small 332 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: class of less than a hundred kids. And then we'd 333 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: be playing these big schools and getting our asses kicked. 334 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: The only, the only, the only sport I could have 335 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: an impact and win games against bigger schools was when 336 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: I was pitching. And if I was on there was 337 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 1: there was two Sean Hannity's when I pitched, The one 338 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 1: where I threw strikes and I had a wicked, sinking 339 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: curveball and I was on my game or the day 340 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: that I'd be throwing it over the backstop, and I 341 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 1: couldn't get a single ball over the plate. There was 342 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: no one between from me. Does that make so? It 343 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 1: was either you were winning or you were losing. Yeah, 344 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: but at least at least I had the ability to 345 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: win for the team. If I was pitching, you know, 346 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: we just score one run or I'd hit a home 347 00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: run too, Listen, would have been a much easier career. 348 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: I'm just saying because Joe Biden said I could have 349 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: been an All American football player. I think he played 350 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,399 Speaker 1: for one semester and I'm not even sure even played, listen, 351 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: So that's why the bloom and gold. Any of you 352 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 1: are state jokes, just remember it. Yes, remember for all 353 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: of you. Look at the time, it's Delaware, okay, you 354 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: for the University of Michigan is Michigan.

As I told you. 358 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: If I had you run it in front of me 359 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: when I was playing flanker back. I could have been 360 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,359 Speaker 1: an All American man. Could have been big. It could 361 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: have been big. It could have been an all American man. 362 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: Come on, man, all right, let's get to our busy phones. 363 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: Mike and South Dakota.

You are not allowed to ask that question? 378 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: That is correct? I did, indeed, Okay, why not it's rude. 379 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: It's very rude. Why is that rude? You can't ask 380 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: the following? Okay, I'm gonna give you an etiquete lesson? 381 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: Are you ready? And I apologize.

Mike? 383 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 1: I think Mike will agree with me. Actually it, Mike's 384 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: gonna be like you can't ask a lady her age 385 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 1: or away, Mike, well done. You can also not ask 386 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 1: ask either either person. You cannot ask men women whatever. 387 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: You cannot say how much do you earn? You cannot 388 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: say how much do you pay for your mortgage? How 389 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: much did you pay for your house? What's your rent? 390 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: You can't ask any of these things. Do not how 391 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,360 Speaker 1: many people I help buying their first piece of property 392 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: and they're worried about buying it? I mean, do you 393 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: not how many people I have to ask those questions? 394 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: That's you giving money, but that's not you asking them 395 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: how much money they may anybody's wait? I mean, look, 396 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: I was, actually I was during the Patriot Awards. I 397 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: went on Fox and Friends the next morning and we 398 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: were talking about something that I had said on stage 399 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 1: that you know, we go out in public, and how 400 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: many times do you hear people say, oh, you're taller 401 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: in person. Wow, you're you look so much younger in person. 402 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: You're a skinnier in person. So I'm like, oh, so 403 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: I am short old And I used to say the 404 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: word the F word, but now I have to say, oh, 405 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: and I'm heavy on TV because apparently you're not allowed 406 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: to use the word fat anymore, right, Oh, really apparently. 407 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: But the only one I'm shaming is myself. I think 408 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,120 Speaker 1: when you talk about yourself, you can say whatever you want. Okay, 409 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 1: So I have a little bit of fat around my tummy. 410 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: I wish I didn't have. I can't get rid of it, Okay, 411 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: all right, makes me a little heavy anyway, Mike, that 412 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: wasn't so bad, right, Mike agrees with me. Yeah, I do. 413 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: What's going on, Mike? How are you? I'm good? Um? Anyway, Um, 414 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: I always wanted to touch base on on this little 415 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: supply chain with the trains in the in the Union 416 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: and all this happy stuff. Um, you know, with Trump 417 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: throwing his hat back in and of course he's got, 418 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,719 Speaker 1: you know, everything, everything he does. The Dems just go 419 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 1: after him and nuts never sticks. But you know if 420 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: we'd have him in there, Um, there's no way this 421 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: would have happened. He's a businessman and he could he 422 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: could negotiate this. And I put out a challenge. And 423 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if legally he can, but I put 424 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 1: out a personal challenge to mister Trump to get in 425 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: the middle of this, because Joe said he was gonna 426 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 1: broke her. He obviously can't get it done. Let's get 427 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: mister Trump in there, give him some purse, you know, 428 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 1: some some good pr, positive pr and have him get 429 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: in and get it done. I don't you know, I 430 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: don't know what I'd like to see. I don't know 431 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: if he should get involved in this one. You know, 432 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 1: this WNBA basketball player what's her name again, Linda Brittney Griner. 433 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 1: So I wish you'd get involved in the Brittany Griner case. 434 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: And this this, this poor woman is in jail for 435 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: nine years. I guess she had a you know, a 436 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: small amount of marijuana with her. Now was it smart 437 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,880 Speaker 1: to bring it to Russia? No? Should she maybe get 438 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 1: some penalty? Okay? Fine, I can understand that nine years 439 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: is like a death sentence for an athlete, because those 440 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: are the earning years you only have so many physical 441 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: earning years if you're playing professional sports. And I bet 442 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 1: you Donald Trump could negotiate her release. I would love 443 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 1: to see that. But he could too, and I bet 444 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 1: he could negotiate. He could be the man that saves Christmas. 445 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: He could be our modern, modern day A C. Gilbert 446 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: and save Christmas because if the supply chain stop, there's 447 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: going to be a lot of little kids and a 448 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,439 Speaker 1: lot of families that ain't gonna have anything. And if 449 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: they do have something, it's going to cost so much. 450 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: That Saint Joe Biden told us in September he had 451 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: resolved the issue who was involved himself, And then now 452 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: and now they wants to make make us sound more 453 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 1: and more communists. Which I know it's legal because they 454 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 1: signed off on the congressional for the Congress to get 455 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,240 Speaker 1: involved in it. But that's what communist nations do. They 456 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: tell people they have to work. I mean, you don't 457 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: have to work, but and if you if you want 458 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: to work more, you can you can go out and 459 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,159 Speaker 1: get another job. That's the American way. Telling people that 460 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,480 Speaker 1: they have to go to work is not the American way. 461 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: And listen that they sound like pretty good paying jobs. 462 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 1: They're offered a twenty four percent increase in pay. They're 463 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,439 Speaker 1: offered an average person is in the union, we'll get 464 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: eleventh thousand dollars back paid bonus. It seems like a 465 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: pretty good deal to me. However, we all know that 466 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: in the end, we the taxpayers, will subsidize as we 467 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: always have Amtrack and a lot of other railways. It 468 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 1: is a vital part of the economy. Joe created the problem, 469 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: said he solved the problem. He didn't solve the problem. 470 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: And you know what, this is their problem. They love 471 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: organized labor. Now all of a sudden, they don't love 472 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: organized labor. Let's see how this plays out. This is 473 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: their mess. They created it, and I think it's up 474 00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: to them to solve it. You know, but you're right 475 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: about I'll tell you who will benefit. Truckers will benefit, 476 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,199 Speaker 1: and frankly, they've been struggling so much. I think they 477 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: needed a breaker like this anyway, in that sense. But 478 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: look for the people that are going to be out 479 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: of work. I don't want anybody out of work, nor 480 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: do I want any more disruption in our supply chain. Anyway, 481 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: Appreciate the call. Mike Ledger. There jed in Florida. Jed 482 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: tried to call yesterday. I believe in your cell was 483 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: kicking out. What's going on? Sir? Hey, thanks for John. 484 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: By the way, when you become the dog catcher, I 485 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,159 Speaker 1: want to be your side of man.

You have the worst phone? 487 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 1: All right, hang on, but let's see we can get 488 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: a better line for Jet in Florida. Bella is in Minneapolis, Bella. 489 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: How are you glad you called? I'm fabulous, Sean? How 490 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: are you? I'm good?

You and 491 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,080 Speaker 1: I have been talking about the most important election ever 492 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: since two thousand and nine. First time I called you, 493 00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: by the way, you were my first You're the first 494 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: talk radio host I ever called into. But my concern 495 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 1: is this, Sean. You know we've got we've got such 496 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: a great opportunity, as you always say it, we're gonna 497 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: fix it. We're gonna get it right. But how can 498 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:58,440 Speaker 1: we do it if we don't fundamentally change our election process? 499 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 1: And that's what's really concerned to me. Donald Trump is running, 500 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: and you know I know that he's very very smart. 501 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: He's not running and reannounce his campaign if he doesn't 502 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: think that he can win, But how can we vote 503 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: him in with the current system if we don't fix it. 504 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 1: The system that I would like have been explaining, and 505 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: that is make election day a national holiday. Can you 506 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: make exceptions for absentee voting, for the sick, the elderly, military, 507 00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: people that will be out of town, and they can 508 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: apply for an absentee ballot. They get it, they show 509 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: the proper id and we can have integrity in the system. 510 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: Then you have voting day and you have partisan observers 511 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 1: in every precinct watching the voting taking place. If there's 512 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 1: any irregularities, it gets reported immediately. And then the vote 513 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: counting as soon as the poles clothes begins and the 514 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: pole counting should be observed up closed by partisan observers. 515 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: We'll know the results at the end of the night 516 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: and everybody would be happy. A lot of countries do it. 517 00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: Use paper ball. It works, It has the most integrity 518 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: and gives us the most confidence in the results. Now, 519 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: the problem is, and I have two friends of mine 520 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: that took issue with what I said yesterday about this, 521 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: And I knew there were going to people. I knew 522 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 1: there'd be people that wouldn't like what I said with 523 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: that said, that is not the system we currently have. 524 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,479 Speaker 1: The only way that's ever going to change is on 525 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: the state level. If you go back to January of 526 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, I kept saying that states need to 527 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,959 Speaker 1: adopt election integrity measures so we have confidence in the 528 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: results of elections. Okay, So I went through everything that 529 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: would would would that would consist of election integrity, and 530 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: I had my list. I won't repeat it now, and 531 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: my point is is that the only way you're going 532 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: to change it is if you've work the system you 533 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 1: have and win. Like right now, I would tell the 534 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: people of Georgia, I can promise you that herschel Walker 535 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: can win this runoff against Raphael Warnock. He can win 536 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: this race, but you've got to understand the system is 537 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: what it is. In early voting, the first two days, 538 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: I looked at the numbers and I said to myself, 539 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: Holy Adam Schiff, it didn't look good to me. Numbers 540 00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: are now looking much much better than what I saw 541 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: on days one and two. So I would say to 542 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: the people in Georgia, every Republican, every conservative blood the zone, 543 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: except that this is the system and push herschel over 544 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: the plane. Let him cross the plane and be your 545 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: new senator. But if you stay home because you don't 546 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 1: like the system, you're only screwing yourself and the entire 547 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,240 Speaker 1: country because we really need that fiftieth senator for the Republicans. 548 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: So let's see what happens. Right. So the left is 549 00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: in a massive, massive, massive panic over these investigations, especially 550 00:30:56,240 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: by Jim Jordan and Congressman James Comer. Jim George and 551 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: will update us. His Judiciary committee will be looking into 552 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 1: whether or not the FBI is politicized and whether or 553 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: not the dj is weaponized, while Comer simultaneously is looking 554 00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: into the Biden family syndicate, and they will go hand 555 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: in hand together. Because they had the Hunter laptop forever 556 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: at the FBI. Why didn't they do anything with it? Anyway? 557 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,720 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan tonight on Hannity, Governor Christie Nome had her 558 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: effort to stop these Chinese government from spying on you, 559 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: the American people, Josh Holly tonight. Also the story that 560 00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: we told you earlier in the program, convicted pedophiles being 561 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: released in massive numbers. The reporter that broke that story 562 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: will join us. So just say a DVR ninet Eastern 563 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: Hannity on the Fox News channel.
