Great to be 28 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: on the radio program today, and I'm hearing from people 29 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: all over the country about our conversation last night. Thanks, 30 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: thanks for giving us a chance. The response was phenomenal, 31 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: Honestly it was. And we get response every night, but 32 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: some nights, you know, my phone just explodes, and that 33 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: was the case last night, which is all a tribute 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 1: to you, because they weren't exploding. It wasn't exploding because 35 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: I'm on, because I'm on every night. But you know, 36 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 1: so help me, God, Well, this is a part of 37 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: you that I don't that people don't know that I 38 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: want people to know, not only in my life, but 39 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: in the life of many many people. I know. You 40 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: make the call when you know it's a hard time. 41 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,919 Speaker 1: You make the call when people are under fire, You 42 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: make the call when there's a death in the family, 43 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: you make the call when an accident has happened, and 44 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 1: you do it all day, every day, and have done 45 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: it for decades, and people I bet don't know that 46 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: about you. Well, you're very kind, and I thought you 47 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: were talking about so many Americans who've taken the oath 48 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,959 Speaker 1: of office. You know. The title of the book comes 49 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: from the last words in my oath of office as 50 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: Vice President and to no less extent, when I was 51 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: governor and when I was for twelve years a fighting 52 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: conservative in the Congress of the United States. It ends 53 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: with a prayer, so help me God, and it but 54 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: it's the same oath as my Marine Corps son reminded 55 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: me one time during some difficult days a few years ago, 56 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 1: that it's the same oath he took. It's the same 57 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: oath all of our many women in uniform takes, Sean, 58 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: It's the same oath men and women who serving law 59 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: enforcement and public safety all over the country. Tick. So 60 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: I'm I'm humbled to be associated with those people. And 61 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: I love what the Bible says that Insoalm fifteen, that 62 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: he keeps his oath even when it hurts. And I 63 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 1: have some experience with that, I know, I know what 64 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: it means to have to stand in the gap and 65 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: keep your word. But I gave my word to the 66 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 1: American people. I gave my word to Almighty God, and 67 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: by God's grace, we worked every day to keep it well. 68 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: I don't think there's been a more successful administration, and 69 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: it was rooted on conservative principles. I describe conservatism simply. 70 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: My audience knows my forty five second pitch on how 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: easy conservatism really is. You can break it down, but 72 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: you actually did. You know, spur economic growth, You did 73 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: lower taxes, you did bring energy independence back after seventy 74 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: five years, you did stop illegal immigration. Piece through strength 75 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: was clear and obvious. America's place in the world was dominant, 76 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: and people feared us rightly. So I think that's the 77 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: way it should be, not that we would ever abuse 78 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: that power or want to abuse that power. And I 79 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: think we've lost a lot of that, and I worry 80 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: about it. I'm happy the Republicans captured the House, but 81 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Republicans in charge completely well, and 82 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: nobody summarizes it better than you, And I think one 83 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: of the things I appreciated about last night on television 84 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 1: was thank you for noticing that my autobiography is not 85 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: only about my whole life, but it's it's been described 86 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: as maybe the most thorough defense of the record of 87 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: the Trump Pen's administration that's been written. It was, you know, 88 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 1: it's the greatest privilege of my life to be Vice 89 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: President of the United States in an administration that literally 90 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: rebuild our military, revived our economy, and gave Americans a 91 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: new beginning for life with a conservative majority on the 92 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: Supreme Court of the United States. Obviously, it didn't end well, 93 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: and I write candidly about those days and about how 94 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: the President and I found a way to part amicably. Nonetheless, 95 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: but I hope that people that share our conservative values 96 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: around the country will we'll take time to look at 97 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: this book, because I think as I describe the battles 98 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: for conservative values in the Congress, our battles back home 99 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: in Indiana, lessons learned there, and then the extraordinary success 100 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: of the Trump Pens administration. My heart's desires that, so 101 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: help me, God, will We'll give people confidence and hope 102 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: about the future. We did it before, and we can 103 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: do it all again. And whenever those principles are applied. 104 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: They work. It worked for Reagan, it worked when new 105 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: Ingrad became speaker, It worked under the administration with you 106 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: and President Trump. It just works. These policies and principles, 107 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: they're timeless, and they can get us out of a 108 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: lot of problems we're now experiencing. I believe a lot 109 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 1: of itself inflicted. You know, you said something to me 110 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: last I really believe that. I mean it's I was 111 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: asked earlier today if I had any regrets, And my 112 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: only regret is having to witness the policies that we 113 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: put into effect, you know, policies that secured our border, 114 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: that had America standing with our allies, standing up to 115 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: our enemies around the world. Saw historic peace breakthrough in 116 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: the Middle East, saw seven million jobs created, an unemployment 117 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,039 Speaker 1: at a fifty year low, saw a new beginning for 118 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: the sanctity of life. Literally one policy after another dismantled 119 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 1: by an administration that seems intent on weakening America at 120 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: home and abroad every day. But but I hope as 121 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: people take a look at So help me, God, it'll 122 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 1: it'll remind them of everything we were able to do 123 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: in such a short period of time. With those two 124 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: years of a Republican House and a Republican Senate with 125 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: voices like yours in the national debate out there given 126 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: us the air cover, Sean, we made incredible progress for 127 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 1: this country. And I my desire is that the story 128 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: and so help me, God will give people hope that 129 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: that we can do it all again. It it'll all 130 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: come back faster than you could ever imagine. But it's 131 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: going to take that new leadership coming into the House 132 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 1: a representatives, going to take a new Senate, going to 133 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: take new leadership in the White House. And I believe 134 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: it's all comming. Sewan, How do you explain what happened 135 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: on Tuesday, last week, one week ago today? And I mean, 136 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: it's amazing, all right, Republicans won the House. I'll be 137 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: by a smaller majority than some anticipated. I was warning 138 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: people that not to be overly exuberant, and they weren't listening, 139 00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: and only because every Senate race was a swing state, 140 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: Bellweather State, very hard to win for Republicans. But you know, 141 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: there are certain things I can't explain. Republicans never win, 142 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: you know, the vote count that they don't win by 143 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: five million votes, and they did this time. And yet 144 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: they didn't win. They didn't win more races that I'm 145 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: having a hard time reconciling that. It doesn't make sense 146 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: to me. And usually things I can figure out and 147 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: give a good explanation for, but that doesn't. It's inexplicable 148 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: somewhat to me. Well, first off, let me you know me, Well, 149 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: we haven't known each other for thirty years. I'm a 150 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: glass is half full guy. I mean, look a win 151 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: as a win. I was there the last time we 152 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: fired Nancy Pelosi, and I'll tell you the day she 153 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: hands that gavel to Kevin McCarthy as the news Speaker 154 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: of the House, it's going to be a great day 155 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: for America. But I share the disappointment of so many 156 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: around the country that we didn't do even better in 157 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 1: the House, that we didn't win the Senate and win 158 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: some key governorships around the country where we had extraordinary 159 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: candidates like like lez Alden and Christine Dreysen and Oregon 160 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: and Mark Runketty in New Mexico. And for me, one 161 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: of the enduring lessons of the election was that elections 162 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: are about the future, and the candidates that we that 163 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: we put forward that were truly focused on the future, 164 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: on the challenges facing the American people today, which record 165 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: record inflation and a crisis at our border, and gasoline 166 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: prices through the roof, and crime in our major cities. 167 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: The candidates that focused on the challenges today and solutions 168 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: for the future did well, But the candidates that were 169 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: looking back, candidates that were focused on the past and 170 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: relitigating the past, didn't do as well. And so I 171 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: think it's a It is a reminder to us that, 172 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: you know, the American people want to see men and 173 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: women in public life that are truly focused, where they're 174 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: focused on the needs of their family, the challenges that 175 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 1: they're facing, and the opportunities that we have to put 176 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: those same principles of the trump Ens administration back into policy. 177 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: They're leveled for a boundless American future. It really is 178 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: out there. You can smell it, you can feel it, 179 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: you can taste it. And we did it before, we'll 180 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: do it again. I mean, America has had you know, 181 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: we went through a civil war, a revolutionary war, we 182 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: went through two World wars. My dad fought in World 183 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 1: War Two, and we went through nine to eleven a depression. 184 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I can mention all sorts of things that 185 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: we've gone through as a country, and we always come 186 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: out on the other side. One thing that I'm looking at, though, 187 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: I'm seeing a country more divided and philosophically than I've 188 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: ever seen. I mean, I look at, for example, Raphael Warnock, 189 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: I look at John Feederman, I look at Mandela Barnes 190 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: as the three most extreme candidates that I've ever covered 191 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: in my lifetime. Usually Democrats, if they had radical views, 192 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: they kept it to themselves, and that's why they would 193 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: often try to pack the courts or use the courts 194 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 1: to legislate from the bench. Now they're just out there 195 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: with these views. How do we reconcile capitalism versus socialism? 196 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 1: How do you reconcile energy and dependence with no domestic 197 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: energy production. How do you reconcile defund dismantle the police, 198 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,359 Speaker 1: no bail laws with law and order and safety and security. 199 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: How do you reconcile woke education versus classical education, reading, writing, math, science, history, 200 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,839 Speaker 1: and computers? Because I see the divide has never been 201 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: this big. Well, look, I think our politics are more 202 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: divided than at any time in my lifetime. But I'm 203 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,359 Speaker 1: not convinced the American people are as divided as our politics. 204 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: I mean, as I've traveled around the country, having returned 205 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: home to Indiana now almost two years ago, I'm more 206 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: convinced than ever that there's more the Unisis in this 207 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: country than could ever divide us. In Chief among those 208 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: things is our faith, our dedication to family, our belief 209 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: in freedom. And I think now we have the opportunity 210 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: to step forward and articulate a vision for the American 211 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: people that will unite us around those timeless American ideals. 212 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: But I think I think it's going to take It's 213 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: going to take us producing candidates at every level that 214 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll do that will focus on those issues 215 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 1: and appeal to those core values of the American people 216 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 1: a new and in renewed ways we do that not 217 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: only will not only will Republicans win, but we'll win 218 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: the future for every American. I also believe that pain 219 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: is a great awakener. And I think at some point 220 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: when Americans get sick and tired of record high inflation 221 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,959 Speaker 1: and record high gas prices and wide open borders and 222 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: you know, record high crime rates, I think at some 223 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: point as a tipping point and they say this just 224 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,599 Speaker 1: isn't working anymore. You know it. It sounded great, defund, dismantle, 225 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: reimagine the police, but having men and women willing to 226 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: put their lives on the line and protecting our cities 227 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: in small towns, there's no better solution than that. That's right, 228 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: That's right. Look, I think the American people will know 229 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: what makes this country strong and secure and prosperous. We 230 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,839 Speaker 1: just got to have government as good as our people again. 231 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: And as I've said to you before, I think I 232 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: think that in the days ahead, we need to not 233 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: only stand strong on common sense conservative principles, which you've 234 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: done every day of your broadcast life and I've sought 235 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: to do, and it's a chronicle in my book, so 236 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: help me God, but also I think I think we 237 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: need to begin to articulate those in ways that unite 238 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 1: the American people around our highest ideals that we you know, 239 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: you get outside of politics show, and the people in 240 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: this country actually get along pretty well. I mean that's 241 00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: you know, I'm back to shop. You haven't been out 242 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: with me lately. Half the country hates me, so but 243 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: that's a different story. We'll take a poll on me. 244 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: You'll find the same thing as true. But I don't 245 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: want to pull on any of us. Let me ask 246 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: you this, people in this country can come together around 247 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: our highest ideals, and we speak to those, we'll speak 248 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 1: to the future. All Right, mister Vice President, if you 249 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: could stay a few more moments, I have one more question. 250 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: I really want this audience to hear this part of 251 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 1: the book that you describe a private meeting that you 252 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: had towards the end of the administration with the President. 253 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: We'll get to that.

We continue. I have one more question 302 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: for former Vice President Mike Pence. His new book is 303 00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: out today. It's called So Help Me God, and it's 304 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: in bookstores all around the country. Hannity dot com, Amazon 305 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 1: dot com, and mister Vice President. As we continue, they 306 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: are over what the fifty two fifty three chapters. I 307 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 1: forget off the top of my head that you have 308 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,399 Speaker 1: in the book, and I know in almost every interview 309 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: except the one you did with me, they only focused 310 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: on one topic, and so I wanted to make our 311 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: interview a little bit different. But there's one part of 312 00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,440 Speaker 1: that that intrigues me the most, and that is when 313 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 1: all was said and done, and you know, after you 314 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,439 Speaker 1: went through this tough period, because I would argue, up 315 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: until the election of November twenty twenty, you worked as 316 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: a phenomenal team. That's what I saw. And I know 317 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 1: both you and President Trump for thirty years, but there 318 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: was a private meeting between the two of you. You 319 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: discuss it in the book, and I think it's very insightful. 320 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: You want to tell us about it, you bet, And 321 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 1: first let me just let me just affirm what you 322 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: just said. Look, for four and a half years, I 323 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: was always loyal to President Donald Trump. He was not 324 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: only my president, he was my friend. And whenever we 325 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: had disagreements, I kept them in private and I supported 326 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:44,120 Speaker 1: the President his policies without fail. My only higher loyalty 327 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: was to God in the Constitution, and that's what caused 328 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: the clash. The confrontation on the tragic day in January. 329 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: But to your point, in the roughly five days after that, 330 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: the President asked for an opportunity to meet with me. 331 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: He'd already said all the right things. He condemned the violence, 332 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: committed to a peaceful transfer of power, and in fact 333 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: took time to address the nation and called for unity 334 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: in America. And I went down to the Oval Office. 335 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: I couldn't help but think of that Bible verse that 336 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,879 Speaker 1: it says to be quick to listen, slow to speak, 337 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: slow to become angry. But it was easier said than done, 338 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 1: because I was angry, Sean. I was angry at what 339 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: had happened. I was angry at at many of the 340 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 1: President's words and actions. But I wanted to hear him out. 341 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: And I went down to the Oval Office, walked back 342 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: to that small dining room, and there we spoke, and 343 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 1: the President expressed concern from my wife and daughter. I 344 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: told him they were fine. I was candid with him 345 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: and direct about my feelings about that day, but I 346 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: also encouraged him to pray. The Presidents told me many 347 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: times that he's a believer, and I also told him 348 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: that I was praying and for him, and in another meeting, 349 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, he reflected I think a genuine sadness about 350 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: what had happened, or I thought the President was genuinely 351 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: remorseful about what had occurred, not just with regard to me, 352 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: but at the Capitol itself. And when I was leaving 353 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 1: after a meeting a few days later, I told him. 354 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: I told him I was praying for him again, and 355 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 1: he immediately was dismissive about it. But as I was 356 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: leaving the room, I looked at him as he sat 357 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: at the end of the table, and I said, well, 358 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: I guess there's two things we're probably always going to 359 00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: disagree on. And he looked up wearily and said what, 360 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: And I said, referring to our disagreement over my role 361 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: on January sixth. And then I said, I'm also never 362 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: going to stop praying for you, and he smiled faintly 363 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: and looked at me and said, that's right. Don't ever change. 364 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,919 Speaker 1: And it was on that foundation that we parted amicably, 365 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: and for several months thereafter we spoke. We spoke every 366 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 1: few weeks over the phone, but candidly Sean when he 367 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: returned to some of the same rhetoric, being critical of 368 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 1: me and others who had done our duty under the 369 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: Constitution that day, I thought it best for us to 370 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: go our separate ways. But I'll always be proud of 371 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: the record of our administration, and I'll always keep that 372 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 1: promise to pray for our president and always be grateful 373 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: to have been a part of what together we did 374 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: for the American people. Mister Vice President at we appreciate 375 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: the time that you have given the show. As always, 376 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: You're always welcome on these airwaves. Mike Pence, former Vice 377 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:43,920 Speaker 1: President Mike Pence. His new book is out. It's called 378 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 1: So Help Me God. It's in bookstores all across the country. 379 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: It's on Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com and definitely 380 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,680 Speaker 1: worth a read. And you are who you say you are. 381 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: You always have been, and you've been very kind to 382 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 1: me throughout all the years that I've known you. And 383 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: we love having you on the program. And we'll talk soon. 384 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 1: Thank you, Sean, God bless you, God bless you. Eight 385 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: hundred ninety four one, Sean, if you want to be 386 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,159 Speaker 1: a part of the program, all right, let's get to 387 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: our busy phones as we say hi to Craig Is 388 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: in New York. Craig High How are you glad you called? 389 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: How are you doing, Sean? Yeah? I was just wondering, 390 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: and I was hoping that maybe you could sit down. 391 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: You talked to a lot of the senators. Maybe you 392 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: could sit down with a couple of the senators and 393 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: ask them to go over and talk to Mansion. Now 394 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: is a perfect time. He's mad about not getting the pipeline. 395 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: He's mad about how they stabbed him in the back. 396 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: Maybe they could bring him over to the Republican Party 397 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: and they could put enough money behind Walker in order 398 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: to push that race toward the Republicans, and that would 399 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: kill the Democrats. They'd be jumping out windows. They would 400 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: make like Fourth of July look like a kid throwing 401 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: a firecracker. It would be the greatest thing in the 402 00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: world if they could do something like that. Is there 403 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 1: any chance that you could talk to them about that? Listen? 404 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: The answer is, I think it's more viable than it's 405 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,879 Speaker 1: ever been. Number one, Mansion is coming up for reelection, 406 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: I believe in the next cycle. Number two. When he 407 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: was when he was standing up to Biden and the 408 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 1: radical socialist Democrats, he was never more popular in his 409 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: home state of West Virginia. When he gave in on 410 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 1: the tax the rich, I'm sorry, tax the poor, tax 411 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: the middle class, and tax people on fixed income Inflation 412 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: Reduction Act. His approval ratings plummeted. You know, at the 413 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: end of this recent campaign cycle, Joe Biden came out 414 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: and said, we're done with cole Well, that destroys the 415 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: economy of Joe Mansion state. No one's building new coal 416 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: class because they can't rely on it, even if they 417 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 1: have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the 418 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: existence of the plan. So it's going to become a 419 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: win generation. Now. All they're doing is sure going to 420 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 1: save them a hell of a lot of money. And 421 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: using the same transmission line that transmitted a coal fired 422 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: electric gon, we're going to be shutting these plasts down 423 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 1: all across America. And Joe Mansion was livid about the comments. 424 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 1: Then then Biden went even further and said he's going 425 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: to end all drilling in America. No more drilling. There 426 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: is no more drilling. I haven't got formed any new 427 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 1: new drilling. No, that was before I was president. We're 428 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: trying to work on that, get that done, which means, 429 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's a disaster because we're all going to 430 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: be paying massive rates for the lifeblood of the world's economy, 431 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,880 Speaker 1: our own economy, and ignore our very own resources here 432 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,400 Speaker 1: at home, and ignore the fact that we do a cleaner, 433 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 1: faster and cheaper. So is there an opportunity? And one 434 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: other thing, he was promised something when he went along 435 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: with Humor and Biden. He was promised the pipeline. That 436 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 1: pipeline was to benefit the people of West Virginia. That 437 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 1: pipeline is never going to happen. And so they offered 438 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,639 Speaker 1: something that they didn't deliver on. And I think, if 439 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm Joe Mansion, I am apoplectic at all of it, 440 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: And I think, what he's probably gonna wait for the 441 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: results out of Georgia. This is why this race with 442 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: herschel Walker is critical. I mean because if with fifty fifty, 443 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: Joe Mansion can walk into the Oval office, you know, 444 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: invite Chuck Schumer to come in with him and say, 445 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: you guys didn't keep your word. You guys lied to me. Joe, 446 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: You're now the enemy of the economy of my state, 447 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: and I'm leaving this party. I'll see you later, and 448 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: then walk out. And he could do that in two 449 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 1: seconds and say I'm going to go announce and hold 450 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: the press conference that I am switching parties and I 451 00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: am leaving your party. And you pushed me out, both 452 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 1: of you because you're dishonest. You'll lie to me, and 453 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: you'll lie to the people of my state, and I'm 454 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: not going to take it any more. Right, That's what 455 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: I do. Anyway. Appreciate you being with us Dan in Arizona. Dan, 456 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: how are you glad you're with us? Hey, Sean, It's 457 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 1: an honor to talk to you Listeny every day. I'm 458 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: a seven year old, fifty seven year old truck driver 459 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: and Arizona native, independent Conservative, and I'm just totally upset, dismayed, 460 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: and angry with everything that's been going on here in Arizona. 461 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 1: I remember Arizona when it was a conservative state. We've 462 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 1: had an influx of Californians coming in here with their 463 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: politics and people from who knows where else with their politics, 464 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: and this state isn't what it used to be. And 465 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm upset at the voters that they didn't pay attention to. 466 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: We've got illegals being dropped off in our streets. We've 467 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: got drug cartel members having shootouts on I ten we've 468 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: got home invasions, we've got car car theft. You know, 469 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: we've had all kinds of stuff. I live in a 470 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: little bedroom community out of Phoenix, Kalawatuki. They've dropped busloads 471 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: of illegals off at hotels out there, and nobody seems 472 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: to remember this stuff, and they vote the Democrats in. 473 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: We have an element of society that gets their news 474 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: blurbs off these little five second things off of CNN 475 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: and MSNBC. They're not getting the full story from Fox 476 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: News or other conservative reporters. And it's just frustrating to 477 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: me to sit back and see this happening. Now we're 478 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:42,360 Speaker 1: blessed with a trifecta of ignorance and incompetence. Katie Hobbs Governor, 479 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 1: Mark Kelly Senator, and Joe Biden President that there is 480 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: an optimistic message. Look, I wish I could tell you 481 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: that these issues are going to be resolved and not. 482 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: You know what, what what the publicans now can do 483 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: with the majority in the House can't be understated though, 484 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: and this will help a lot because they can now 485 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: challenge may Orchis on the issues. I mean, you're not 486 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: going to impeach them because the Democrats, you know, even 487 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, with the fifty fifty Center, it's going to 488 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: be impossible. However, they can now they have the investigative 489 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: subpoena power to get to the bottom of how it 490 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: is this administration is not enforcing the laws of the land. 491 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,359 Speaker 1: And not only that, they're offering preferential treatment to illegal immigrants. 492 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: They are violating the law, not enforcing. You know, a 493 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: sanctuary states, sanctuary city by its very nature, is in 494 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: violation of our laws. It's you know, you're not allowed 495 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 1: to enter this country illegally. It's illegal. You know, that's it. 496 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: It's simple. But anyway, and then of course you have 497 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: the human trafficking aspect of it. You know, you come in, 498 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: you get no COVID checks, you get no you get 499 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: no back ground check, you get a free Biden phone. 500 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 1: Then you get free transportation to any one of the 501 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 1: forty eight states in the continent of the US. And 502 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: that system Joe plans to continue, but it's got to 503 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: be stopped. And the way I think it's going to 504 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,479 Speaker 1: happen is I think that all these people now are 505 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: going to be called in and held accountable. And I 506 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 1: think that the hearings rightfully will expose this for what 507 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 1: it is, and that is institutionalizing lawbreaking. And I think 508 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: there's going to be great power there for the Republicans 509 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,800 Speaker 1: with this majority now in the House, and I'm glad 510 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: that they have it. That's why, you know, for those 511 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: people that are disappointed that a lot of these swing 512 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 1: states didn't go to the the Republicans way, I'm sure I 513 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,080 Speaker 1: would have preferred to go that they go the other way. 514 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: The only I can say is I knew at the 515 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,000 Speaker 1: beginning of this election cycle that these were all bellweather 516 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 1: swing states and none of them were going to be 517 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,400 Speaker 1: easy to win. So you got to you gotta take 518 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,280 Speaker 1: you wins where you can get them and then hold 519 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: these people acountable. And I think now the House is 520 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,520 Speaker 1: going to go headstrong right into all of these issues. 521 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: The power to subpoena, the power of the purse of 522 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 1: the two biggest weapons that the Republicans have in the House, 523 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: and I would anticipate that they're going to use it, 524 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: and so that that is that's good for the country, 525 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: because we need to resolve these issues. Anyway. I listen, 526 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: I wish I had better words. How are you doing 527 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,560 Speaker 1: in your trucking business? By the way, I'm worried about 528 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,719 Speaker 1: all you guys and the price you're paying for diesel 529 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: if you can even find the diesel. There is a 530 00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: shortage now nationwide that is getting scary. We're starting to 531 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 1: feel the pinch because the housing is flowing down an 532 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 1: I hauled construction equipment. So it's starting to put the 533 00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: kabash on us a little bit with the interest rates 534 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: going up on housing. Listen, what did I say would happened? 535 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,720 Speaker 1: And I predicted it over a year ago. I said, 536 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 1: watch what happens. New home construction will come to a 537 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 1: screeching halt. The next step, the next shoot drop, is 538 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 1: going to be sales of pre existing homes that'll come 539 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: to a screeching halt. That has now happened except for 540 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: some there are some exceptions in states that have you know, 541 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: all these this mass migration I keep talking about, or 542 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: accelerated migration, people leaving blue states that are conservative and 543 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 1: moving the red states. They will fare so much better. 544 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: And home prices have plummeted, and we've lost billions of 545 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: dollars in valuations for people's homes, which end up being 546 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: their biggest investment. And add that to the bad stock 547 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: market and it's not good yep. Anyway, I appreciate the call. Listen, 548 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: thanks for what you do. Also, I mean it's now 549 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: do you do you have an eighteen wheeler or flatbed? 550 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: What do you got to the eighteen wheeler?

So I know people in 554 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: the trucking business that have decided to sit it out 555 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,440 Speaker 1: until the business gets better and it becomes more profitable. 556 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 1: And it's sad to see. But supplying demand now, well, 557 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,239 Speaker 1: well we'll drive up the prices of of what you 558 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: guys can charge. You cannot absorb the high cost, especially 559 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,479 Speaker 1: independent operators, the high cost of diesel and do routes 560 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,080 Speaker 1: and not make any money. And if people are not 561 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,760 Speaker 1: making money, they're not going to stay in business. That 562 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 1: munch I can tell you.
