1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: We are now seeing what happens when America becomes weak, 2 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: specifically on the end issue of energy and dependence. It's 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,040 Speaker 1: not just that it costs you an insane amount of 4 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: money now to fill up your car, but it also 5 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: emboldens those that have a significant amount of oil and 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 1: gas to export. It makes them more money, It allows 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: them to have power over people and to hurt them 8 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 1: in their economies. It allows for evil people, whether it's 9 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin or Iran, to have control also over other countries. Yes, 10 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: you heard me right, over other countries. Let me give 11 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: you two examples of just how stupid Joe Biden is 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 1: and how stupid the Biden administration is for virtually shutting 13 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: down all new drilling in America, shutting down the Keystone pipeline, 14 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: and also allowing and advocating for that pipeline coming out 15 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: of Russia. Now, if you are in another country, and 16 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: this is a conversation that is really important. As I 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: am going to be in Budapest speaking at a conference 18 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: on freedom this week and talking, I'll actually be meeting 19 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: with a president of Hungary, having an event with him, 20 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,320 Speaker 1: a private event, because countries like Hungary are trying to 21 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,399 Speaker 1: figure out what they're going to do all right quickly. 22 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,280 Speaker 1: I also want to say thank you to our sponsor. 23 00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: Without them, this podcast wouldn't exist.

Well, that's 30 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: exactly what gold and silver has done for so many 31 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: It is a hedge to protect when it comes to inflation. 32 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: Right now is actually a great time for you to 33 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: protect your investments with gold and silver.

Now. Hungary is obviously a little bit 46 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 1: different than the United States of America. Right there, right 47 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: next to Russia. They share a border with Ukraine. And 48 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: when you share a border with Ukraine and you share 49 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: a border that is so close to other countries that 50 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: are under the influence of Russia, a little bit different 51 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: strategy when you're standing up to people like Vladimir Putin 52 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: and everybody that should understand that, and now they're trying 53 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: to figure out what is their next move. Now. I 54 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: bring this up because there's two major headlines right now 55 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: that show you just how stupid our administration is. Now, remember, 56 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: if we maximize our oil production, not only could we 57 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: lower the price of gas probably by fifty sixty percent 58 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: in America, which would help every American out, but also 59 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: it would lower the price for oil and gas and 60 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: the availability for other countries who can then maybe stand 61 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: up to Vladimir Putin and say, hey, you can screw 62 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: with us, but we've got other options on the world market. 63 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 1: How evil is Russia? Right now a Russian owned energy 64 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: company has just shut off electricity to Finland. That's right, 65 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: Russian energy company are a Nordic last night shut off 66 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: electricity supplies to neighboring Finland over what they claim it 67 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: had to do because they quoted not received payments from 68 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: Finland due to sanctions. Rayo Nordic, a subsidiary of the 69 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: subsidiary of the Russian energy company inter Rayo, suspended the 70 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: export of electricity, according to an announcement made by Finland's 71 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: majority state owned national electricity transmission grid operator finn Grid. 72 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,680 Speaker 1: In practice, a notification means that there will be no 73 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 1: Russian electricity in Finland at all for the time being. 74 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: Around ten percent of Finland's electricity is imported from Russia, 75 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: but Fingrand has claimed that the Finns electricity needs will 76 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: still be met even if no electricity is being imported 77 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: from Russia at all. This is a big problem. It 78 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 1: is of course spring summer and the amount of consumption 79 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: and has decreased from the peak winter consumption where you 80 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: need massive amounts of electricity to keep your homes warm. 81 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: Finland will not just what will do? Just fine? They say, 82 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 1: Without Russian electricity at least for the summer, but what 83 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: happens in the winter. They say replacement electricity comes from 84 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 1: domestic production or imports, mainly from Sweden and the Baltics, 85 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: and they are working on that, they say immediately. Rayo 86 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: Nordic has claimed that the shutoff is related to missing payments, 87 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: saying due to problems and receiving payments for electricity sold 88 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: on the market, further, direct or bilateral sales of electricity 89 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: imported from Russia will be halted until further notice. Others 90 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: have raised questions about the timing of the electricity shut off, 91 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: including the CEO of the Energy Industry Association, who said 92 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: the move may have been tied to Finland's possible joining 93 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 1: the NATO Alliance, after Finland's president and prime minister announced 94 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: they backed the country joining NATO last week, which is 95 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: exactly what this is related to, make no mistake about it. 96 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: Russia has previously expressed its pleasure about both Finland and 97 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Sweden potentially joining NATO. Russian President Vladimir Putin commented on 98 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: the issue Monday, saying, quote, as the enlargement, Russia has 99 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: no problem with these states none, and so in this sense, 100 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: there is no immediate threat to Russia from an expansion 101 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: of NATO to include these countries. Natural gas prices if skyrocketed, 102 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: by the way, after Russia said it would no longer 103 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: since applies to Europe via pipeline through Poland, citing the 104 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: new sanctions as well, and what is the administration doing 105 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: to help ease attentions? Are we upping our production? No, 106 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: In fact, we're banning more drilling now as prices are skyrocketing. 107 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 1: Putin also went on to add, but the expansion of 108 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: military infrastructure into this territory would certainly provoke our response. So, 109 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: in other words, if you think NATO's going to save you, 110 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 1: guess what they're not. Our response will be and what 111 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: we see of the threats that are created for us 112 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: will be appropriate. And the move by Rayo Nordic to 113 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,679 Speaker 1: cut off supplies to Finland comes as Russian energy giant 114 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: also announced gas Prom that it would no longer be 115 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: sending exported gas to Europe through the Yamal pipeline, which 116 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: goes through Poland to reach Germany, the largest import of 117 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: Russian gas in Europe. Quota ban is in place on 118 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: making transactions with and payments to persons under sanctions in 119 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: particular for gas Prom. This means a ban on the 120 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: use of a gas pipeline owned by the Polish company 121 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: to transport Russian gas through Poland, is what the representative 122 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: Sergey stated now. Earlier this year, following the sanctions and 123 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: acted after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, present Putin announced 124 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: that quote unfriendly nations would be forced to pay for 125 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 1: energy and rubles rather than euros or dollars. Guys. Prom 126 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: Bank later announced a scheme to allow countries to deposit 127 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: euros and dollars and the bank would then convert the 128 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: money to rubles and transfer the rubles to a new account, 129 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: which will then be used to pay for the energy. 130 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: No big deal, will just get workarounds right. Several countries, 131 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: such as an Italian energy giant Inny and others, are 132 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: rumored to have been preparing late last month to open 133 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: accounts in rubles in order to take part in the scheme, 134 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: which allegedly allowed firms to avoid breaking sanctions. These major 135 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: energy firms in Italy, Germany and elsewhere in Europe are 136 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: allegedly preparing to open these accounts because they don't care 137 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: about what Vladimir Putin is doing. They just want the energy. Now. 138 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: What also is concerning is not only as Russia's ended 139 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: the Yamal pipeline gas that it delivers to Europe, but 140 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: the prices have soared on this news, and not just 141 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: in Berlin. This headline coming out of Berlin from the 142 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: Apiece as natural gas prices rose Friday after Russian stayed 143 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: on exporter said it would no longer since supplies to 144 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: Europe via pipeline in Poland, citing the new sanctions at 145 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 1: Moscow imposed on European energy companies. The move doesn't immediately 146 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: block large amounts of natural gas to Europe, but intensifies 147 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: fears that the war in Ukraine will lead to wide 148 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: ranging cutoffs. They said it would ban the use of 149 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: the pipeline gas prom that reaches Germany through Poland. While 150 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: that cuts the supply route to Europe, the pipeline's entry 151 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: point to Germany has not been used in recent months. 152 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: They say they've already cut off gas to Poland for 153 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: refusing to meet Moscow's demand to make payments and rubles, 154 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: which now they're quote working on. What does this mean 155 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: for you in America? You're paying more for gas right 156 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: now than you've ever paid in your life. Gas is 157 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: up an astronomical forty six point nine percent since last year, 158 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: but that's not the only thing going up. Listen to 159 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 1: their report from this morning, Michael, I suppose they could 160 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: be worse, but they're certainly not good. At this Manhattan 161 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: mobile six dollars and nineteen cents for a gallon of regular. 162 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: That's the same as it was yesterday, and nationally this morning, 163 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: the average has ended up just one and a half cents. 164 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: It's four dollars and forty one cents on average across 165 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: the country right now, which is maybe a slight increase, 166 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 1: it's still a record high. And looking at this big picture, 167 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: gas prices have climbed an astronomical forty six point nine 168 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 1: percent since the pandemic prices last year. Now, this new 169 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: government inflation report showed in general prices are up eight 170 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: point three percent compared to a year ago. That is 171 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: a slight slowdown from last month when prices were up 172 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: eight point five percent. This was the first inflation decline 173 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: actually that we've seen in eight months. But this is 174 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: still near a forty year high we're talking about, and 175 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: it was less of a decrease than experts expected. Now, 176 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: the biggest contributors are in areas that are impacting a 177 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: whole lot of us. We're talking about shelter and rent prices, food, 178 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: airline fares, and new vehicles to Groceries specifically are up 179 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: ten point eight percent in the past year. Everyone's noticing 180 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: that eggs are up nearly twenty three percent, chickens up 181 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 1: more than sixteen percent, milk is up nearly fifteen percent. 182 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: I love how they're actually having to admit what's happening 183 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: with inflation in this country. Bide inflation. Eggs up twenty 184 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: two point six percent, chicken up sixteen point four percent, 185 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: milk up fourteen point seven percent, groceries in general up 186 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: eleven percent in the past year, and gas prices are 187 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 1: up in astronomical forty six point nine percent. So what 188 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: are we doing? This administration has been banning oil and 189 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,839 Speaker 1: gas drilling and not giving out new leases, and now 190 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: this report does signal we may have now hit the 191 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: peak of inflation. But there's still I love that now 192 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: says there is a chance that we may have hit 193 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 1: our peak, right, may have hit our peak with inflation, 194 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: So get excited like we may have hit the top. 195 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: There's no indication, by the way, that we've actually hit 196 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: the top, all right now, Nancy Pelosi came out yesterday 197 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: and said, the real problem is price gouging needs to 198 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: be stopped in order to lower gas prices. There is 199 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: not a single accusation being made anywhere that there's price gouging. 200 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: But this is when you lie so you don't have 201 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: to take responsibility for what you have done. You make 202 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: up something that's not happening. You tell people this is 203 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: price gouging. The government's here to fix your problem, when 204 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: the government actually has created this problem and continues to 205 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: support this problem each and every day because of your 206 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: policies this year alone, again and again, we see gas 207 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: prices rise. Sometimes when the cost of oil a ghost 208 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: debt drops, oil prices drop, and price gauging needs to 209 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: be stopped. This is a major exploitation of the consumer 210 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 1: because this is a product the consumer must have. Again, 211 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 1: the putin tax hike at the pump is a part 212 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: of this, and you would think that the oil companies 213 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: would compensate for that rather than exploit the opportunity. So 214 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 1: she's obviously making that crap up as she goes. It's 215 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: a putin tax cut, I mean tax hike at the pump, right, 216 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: gouging needs to be stopped in order to lower gas prices. Okay, 217 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: where is the gouging happening now? Joe Biden came out 218 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: and he also said the same thing. He said exactly 219 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: what Polus he said. So this is obviously their plan, right. 220 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: We need to tax the wealthy and stop price gouging 221 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: in order to fight inflation. As I said when I 222 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: came to what Congress and the President can do to 223 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: fight inflation, Americans have two potential to pass forward. The 224 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: first is My plan and Democratic Plan plan put forward 225 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: by Congression Republicans as a second alternative, Here's how each 226 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: of us would take tackle inflation. My plan is the 227 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: lower employer and lower every day it costs for every 228 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: day costs for hard work in Americans, and lower the 229 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: deficit by asking large corporations and the wealthiest Americans to 230 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: not engage in price cougy and to pay their fair 231 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: share in taxes. The Republican plan is to increase taxes 232 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: on the middle class, families, led billionaires, and large companies 233 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: off the hook. By the way, that's a lie. He 234 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: just lied there. You'd think the fact checkers would run 235 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: out or the media right and say, well, that's not true. 236 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: The Republicans haven't proposed any of that. Why are you 237 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: saying it now. We'll let it go because let's lie 238 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: the American people as they raise raise prices and reprofits 239 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: and record number, record amounts. I'm just glad. It can 240 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: barely get through this interview, right, I mean this teleprompter 241 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: that he's talking from right now. He can't even get 242 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 1: the words right with a teleprompter. And it's really that simple. 243 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,760 Speaker 1: But let me explain why this choice is so important. 244 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: It's truly, that's simple, folks. We need to tax the 245 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: wealthy and stop price gouging in order to fight inflation. 246 00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 1: This is all someone else's fault. This is not my policies. 247 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with what I've done. This 248 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with what's happening around the world 249 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: and the fact that we have limited our supply of 250 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: oil and gas that we can admit manufacture here to 251 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: become energy independent. You have to understand Democrats are cheering 252 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: these high prices right now, and the reason why they 253 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: are cheering these high prices is because they believe this 254 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: will force you into submission to go out there and 255 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: to grab a hybrid. This will force you to carpool. 256 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: This will force you to get on a bus, right, 257 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: to take public transportation, to take trains, to take monorails 258 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: or whatever is available around the country where people are. 259 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 1: This is about forcing them, that's all this is. We 260 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: want to force you into submission. We want to force 261 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 1: you to have to make a decision. We want to 262 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: force you to do what we tell you you must do. 263 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: That's why we're saying all of this, all of these lies. 264 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: So who's getting rich off this? There's one person, and 265 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: we all know it's very clear. Those in the Middle 266 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: East and even Vladimir putin record profits coming in from 267 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: oil and gas, and they are very clear about what 268 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: their intent is. Their intent is to make it where 269 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:59,239 Speaker 1: you can't survive because when you are weak, our government 270 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: is strong. Liberals become strong when you are independent, they 271 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: become weak. When you can't pay for your bills, they 272 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: become strong. There's another aspect of what's happening with all 273 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 1: in gas. Not only does this administration want you to 274 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: be weak, and that means they have more power over you. 275 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: The poorer you are, the more power the Biden administration 276 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: has to influence your life and to dictate your life. 277 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: That's what their goal is. But there's another byproduct to this, 278 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: and that's the issue of national security. There's a big 279 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 1: issue when America refuses to be energy independent. It's a 280 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: national security issue. Perfect example is what we are witnessing 281 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 1: right now with the fighting happening over in countries just 282 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: like Hungry. This new headline perfectly encompasses all the problems 283 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: that the Biden administration, the problems I have with the 284 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: Biden administration's energy policy, because not only are we hurting 285 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: Americans right now with the highest gas prices we've ever seen, 286 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: but you're also allowing countries like Russia to have an 287 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: incredible amount of influence and make money while they're terrorizing 288 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: people in Ukraine. In fact, the European Union's High Representative 289 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy said there is no 290 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: guarantee that the twenty seven nation block will be able 291 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: to finalize a new set of sanctions against Russia, the 292 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: small group of countries actually led by Hungry opposing a 293 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: full oil embargo. The European Commission proposed a sixth package 294 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 1: of sanctions on Russia related to its invasion of Ukraine 295 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: on May the fourth, including a ban on Russian oil imports, 296 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: but not natural gas imports, on which some blocks most 297 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: influential members, particularly Germany, are heavily reliant on. Hungary is 298 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: one of a number of landlocked countries that are highly 299 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: dependent on Russian oil, along with the Czech Republican Slovakia, 300 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,399 Speaker 1: with Bulgaria across the Black Sea from Russia, Russian annex 301 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 1: Crimea and Ukraine. They're going after right now. They also 302 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: have restrictions about the move, of course they're going to. 303 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 1: In an interview with Hungary's radio on May to six, 304 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: a transcript of which has been seen by bright Bart London, 305 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: the Hungarian Prime Minister, who I will actually be meeting 306 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: with tonight, Victor Orban, complain that the European Commission, an 307 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: unelected body which serves as the EU's executive and the 308 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 1: primary initiator of EU level legislation, has announced its oil 309 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 1: embargo scheme without having consulted anyone at prime minister level, 310 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 1: seeking to impose a single rule on everyone without taking 311 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: account of nation's interests. He said. With respect to set interest, 312 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister Orban said a Russian oil embargo would 313 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: be tantem to dropping a nuclear bomb on the Hungarian economy, 314 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: drastically increasing the cost of petrol and diesel and causing 315 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 1: some industrial production plans to go bankrupt and close down, 316 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: causing high unemployment. EU High representatives said the block central 317 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: technocrats would quote do our best in order to block 318 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 1: the situation, but warned quote, we cannot ensure that it 319 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: is going to happen because positions are quite strong. Ahead 320 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: of a meeting between the EU foreign Ministers and the chair, 321 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: Roll observed that some member states face more difficulties because 322 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: they are so dependent and they are landlocked, and that 323 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:14,359 Speaker 1: they only have oil through pipelines coming from Russia. Lithuania's 324 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,280 Speaker 1: foreign minister complain the whole European Union is being held 325 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: hostage by one member state, namely Hungry, and the countries 326 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: like the Orban led state were offered a phase out 327 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: of Russian oil until December thirty Verse twenty twenty four, 328 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:34,120 Speaker 1: and then everybody expected that this would be enough. Orban 329 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: addresses the supposed concession at length during his radio interview, 330 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: saying it would require at least five years and trillions 331 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: of their currency Hungary's national currency to adapt its refineries 332 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 1: to non Russian product and transform its pipeline infrastructure, along 333 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,640 Speaker 1: with increasing nuclear and solar capacity. Orban expressed doubt over 334 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: whether the European Union, which is trying to squeeze Hungry 335 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: financially over long standing to disputes related to its refusal 336 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: to accept compulsory migrant redistribution quotas and suppose rule of 337 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: law issues, would provide funding for this transition, and noted 338 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: that whatever might be promised so far, we only have 339 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: this money on paper because it still hasn't been given 340 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: to us. The EU wanted to sanction Hungry over Victor 341 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 1: Orban's election landslide. I'll have more on that coming up 342 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 1: in a moment. But if you look at this story 343 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 1: and you see you can understand why these landlocked countries 344 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,479 Speaker 1: would be acting this way, you can understand why they 345 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 1: be so concerned over these sanctions on Russia that it 346 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: would then decimate their economy. There's also another part of this, 347 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 1: and this is a sure part of the conversation I'm 348 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: going to be having when I speak in Budapest. It's 349 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: what do you do when the rest of the world 350 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,119 Speaker 1: is not acting to help you. Look at Ukraine. Ukraine 351 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: was promised never forget this, that they gave up their 352 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, that they would be protected by Europe, European 353 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: countries and everyone around them. How did that work out 354 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: for them? They were told that they just give up 355 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: their nuclear weapons, that the rest of the world would 356 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: protect them from Russia. That didn't happen. You have to 357 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 1: ask yourself this question, would Ukraine be invaded right now 358 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 1: by Russia if they actually had those nuclear weapons? The answer, 359 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: I think it's pretty clear no. So if you're hungry 360 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 1: right now, and it's easy to throw stones at them. 361 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: And this is part of the reason why I'm so 362 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 1: excited about speaking and spending time with the present orban 363 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,959 Speaker 1: in Budapest is because they are in a very different 364 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: situation than we are in America. It's easy for Joe 365 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: Biden to say, oh, We're going to help you, but 366 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 1: the reality is, can you trust Joe Biden? If I 367 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 1: was a leader in Europe right now, if I was 368 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: a leader of any country close to or next door to, 369 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: or dependent on Russia, I'm not going to trust the EU, 370 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: I'm not going to trust NATO, and I'm certainly not 371 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: going to trust the UN. And for that matter, I 372 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 1: would not trust the United States of America because while 373 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: Americas should be stepping up all and gas production to 374 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: take away the leverage and the power of Vladimir Putin, 375 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: we're doing the exact opposite. Look at what Biden is 376 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: doing to us in this country. Look at what he's doing. 377 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: Why would you trust him on any of this. It's 378 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: a very different situation for these countries right now that 379 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: are trying to stand up trying to protect their own 380 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: national interests. Because President of the United States America isn't 381 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: even protecting you and I's interests are basic families. He's 382 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:12,239 Speaker 1: trying to force us into submission on his new green alternatives. 383 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: I want to switch gears to something else. Starbucks has 384 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:25,520 Speaker 1: now joined Microsoft, Amazon, Tesla, Goldman, Sachs, and others who 385 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: will now cover the costs for abortions if Roe v. 386 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: Wade is in fact overturn. Amazon is reimbursing employees up 387 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: to four thousand dollars each year for covering travel for 388 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: medical treatments and employees can't receive within one hundred miles 389 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: of home aka abortions. Coffee giant Starbucks has now joined 390 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 1: the list of companies who are covering the travel expenses 391 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 1: for employees seeking out of state abortions.

Regardless of what the 399 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: Supreme Court ends up deciding, we will always ensure our 400 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,400 Speaker 1: partners have access to quality healthcare, she said, and when 401 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: actions impact your access to healthcare, we will work on 402 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 1: a way to make sure you feel supported quote unquote. 403 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: After the draft opinion suggested Supreme Court would abolish a 404 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: nationwide right to an abortion was leaked earlier this month, 405 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: a handful of companies started issuing policies to help workers 406 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,320 Speaker 1: who could face healthcare restrictions in their state. To date, 407 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: twenty six states are or likely to ban abortion if 408 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court overturns in nineteen seventy three Roe Vueway decision, 409 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: according to pro pro choice research groups.

Will also announced that 426 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: the company has expanded its safety net program and healthcare 427 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: insurances offerings last year to include travel and lodging support 428 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 1: for those who may need to seek healthcare services that 429 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: are unavailable in their home states and a regulatory filing. 430 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: City Group also announced that it will provide travel benefits 431 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: to facilitate access to adequate resources, meaning abortion. Due to 432 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: changes in reproductive healthcare laws in certain states in the US, 433 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:49,080 Speaker 1: Yelp they announced an extension of their healthcare insurance coverage 434 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: support consistent access to care across its workforce. The health 435 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: and Health insurance already covers abortion care, but now the 436 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:04,560 Speaker 1: company also provides travel benefits for US employees and their 437 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: dependents who may need out of state healthcare services. Amazon 438 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: has come out reimbursing employees up to four grand each 439 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,400 Speaker 1: year to cover travel for medical treatments, so you can 440 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: have an abortion a year that employees can't receive within 441 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: one hundred miles of home. According to the Wall Street Journal, 442 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,239 Speaker 1: So again the companies you need to know about that 443 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: are doing this, Microsoft, Tesla, City Group, Apple, Yelp, Amazon, Levi, Strauss. 444 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 1: Bloomberg also is reporting, citing sources familiar with the matter, 445 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 1: that Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan Chase are considering extending 446 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: abortion travel benefits as well. So Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, 447 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: They're on the fence. Are companies that are paying travel 448 00:29:53,640 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 1: costs for abortions, according to this new report, Amazon, Airbnb, Apple, Citygroup, Levi, Microsoft, Starbucks, Tesla, Yelp, 449 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 1: and the list I have a feeling will continue to grow. Now. 450 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: The reason why I'm giving you this list is because 451 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: I do think it's important that you know that when 452 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,959 Speaker 1: you are supporting these companies, this is exactly what you 453 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: are supporting. You are giving them your dollars and they 454 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 1: are giving them to their employees up to four grand 455 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: a year to have an abortion. This is when you 456 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: need to be looking at your bills, and you need 457 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: to be looking at where your money is going, and 458 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: you need to take a hard look at them and 459 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: decide is this the best thing for us. I know 460 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: there's some people that say, well, Ben, how do I 461 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: survive without some of these companies? Right, It's a decision 462 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: you're going to have to make. How do I survive 463 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 1: without Starbucks or Amazon or Microsoft or Tesla? Those are 464 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: decisions you have to make. I will continue to form 465 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,200 Speaker 1: you though, of what your dollars are being used for 466 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: when you support these companies and corporations. I've changed banks, 467 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: by the way. The reason why is because one of 468 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: the banks I was with was antisecond Amendment start shutting 469 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: down companies that dealt with guns, firearms, and accessories. I 470 00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: changed banks for that reason because they were not aligned 471 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: with my interests anymore.
