1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Hello America, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and welcome to the

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. I'm Peter Schweitzer. Seated next to me

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: is Eric Eggers. We host a podcast called The Drill Down.

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Shawn's taking a well deserved break, so we're filling in

5
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 1: for him today and we want you to join the conversation.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: It's one eight hundred and ninety four to one Sean

7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: one eight hundred ninety four one seven three two six.

8
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 2: During the day we host the podcast, but today we

9
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: host Sean Handy's national radio show. It's the third year

10
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 2: in a row have been fortunate enough to do that,

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: and I think it's only appropriate because people know you,

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 2: and I think know our organization, the Government Accountability Institute,

13
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: because of the news we've broken about Hunter Biden, about

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton, and about the interference of money and government

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: corruption in Washington, d C. And it turns out, even

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: though it's Christmas time, there's still actually plenty of that's

17
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: talk about.

18
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: There is there's plenty of that to talk about. We're

19
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: going to talk about Hunter today and we're going to

20
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: give you the case. I think the best case that

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: I would argue convincingly shows that bribery charges could be

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: warranted or are warranted. With Joe Biden, President of the

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: United States, we're also going to talk about the situation

24
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 1: on college campuses, and we're gonna bring on a couple

25
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: of guests who are actually fighting back. Let's not just

26
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: complain about what's going on campuses. We're going to talk

27
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: about some of the ways we can effectively fight back.

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: You mentioned that you think that's so important, that that's

29
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 2: what America wants to hear from us, and that's what

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: maybe they need to hear in this season of the holidays. Right,

31
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: it is the season of darkness, but there is hope

32
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: in the darkness, as many churches around the country are

33
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 2: probably reminding you. You think people are tired of being

34
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: told how bad things are, and you know things aren't bad.

35
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: We actually have, for the first time in the Biden administration,

36
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 2: a majority of Americans that they plan to cut back

37
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: on their holiday shopping. That's up from forty six percent

38
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 2: the year before and forty percent twenty twenty one. But

39
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: you actually were in the heartland of America over the weekend.

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: You gave a speech in Indianapolis, and you said you

41
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: met with patriots who you said they're looking for one

42
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: thing and that is solution.

43
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

44
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was amazing because again there's a lot

45
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: of doom and gloom we report on corruption, and which

46
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: is not always a fun light topic to deal with.

47
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: But I gave a speech on a Saturday night to

48
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: the First Principles Forum in Indianapolis. It says Saturday night,

49
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 1: the weekend before the Christmas you know, really kicks in,

50
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,239
Speaker 1: and three hundred people showed up to talk about Biden

51
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 1: corruption and what they wanted to talk about. What are

52
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: positive things they can do in their community to make

53
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: a difference. And I tell you it was so encouraging.

54
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: There were young people, there were old people. They were knowledgeable,

55
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: they were engaged, and they weren't sitting around with their

56
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: hands thrown up say there's nothing we can do about it.

57
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: They said, we've got to figure out how to fight back.

58
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: And this is what makes Peter Schwiz America's most beloved

59
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: journalist America because not only can he break news, not

60
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 2: only has his reporting led to I think the very

61
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: real investigation surrounding Hunter Biden, he can also, in the

62
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 2: humblest way, brag about the size of the speeches I

63
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: guess on Saturday, three hundred people in case you would

64
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: write that one down, and I counted every single one.

65
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: But honestly, one of the topics that a lot of

66
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: people were discussing was inflation. And you know, in the

67
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: cash conversation about how prices are so sky high, and this,

68
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: I think is the real problem that the Biden administration faces.

69
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: When people think of the economy, they want to change

70
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: the subject, they want to redefine what inflation is. But

71
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is inflation's a huge problem

72
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: and it's not going away.

73
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: I think that I think inflation is a problem, and

74
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 2: we'll talk about why it's a problem. And even NPR

75
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: is admitting, well, it's a problem, but maybe it's not

76
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: as much of a problem as it was last year

77
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: because they're introducing a term called disinflation, which you thought

78
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: meant that prices are going down.

79
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 3: No, no, inflation.

80
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: No, that's not disinflation. It turns out disinflation is when

81
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: the amount of inflation is decreasing, which we're told is

82
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: something we should feel better about. But I think that's

83
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: what's crazy is we're told, oh, the economy is getting better,

84
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: but when you've got things like auto insurances according to

85
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 2: NPR of twenty percent, frozen juice up fifteen percent. I mean,

86
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 2: just go to the store. Things aren't cheaper. And even

87
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 2: if the cost is down maybe compared to last year,

88
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: the costs are not down compared to two years ago.

89
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: And I think they say, well, inflation is only two

90
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 2: percent more this year than it was twelve months ago,

91
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: and that's better than the twelve percent jump it was

92
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 2: the year before. The costs are still up. In America's

93
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: memories don't reset from year to year. They go and

94
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: they see what milk costs, say it didn't used to

95
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: be that way, and rightly or wrongly, they blame the

96
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 2: president for it. And I think you would say it's

97
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: correct to blame the president of the United States for

98
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: what things cost right now.

99
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

100
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: You know, look, Joe Biden came in and in twenty

101
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: twenty one, the first thing he did was increase federer

102
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: spending by fifty percent one trillion, sorry, two trillion dollars

103
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: from a four trillion dollar base. That led to inflation,

104
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: which of course forced what the Federal reserved to increase

105
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: interest rates. And that is the direct cause of inflation.

106
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: That's why the Fed had to do with the they did,

107
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: and that's why housing costs are at an unprecedented level

108
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: in the United States history, and why we had another

109
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: report that came out today about homelessness. You've got inflation

110
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: that's hitting everybody, but in its most extreme form, you

111
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: have greater homelessness.

112
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 3: So as we struggle maybe.

113
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: To pay our bills or to you know, we're scaling

114
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: and the number of gifts we're getting, there are people

115
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: that are actually out of their home because they can

116
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: no longer afford to live. Their homelessness is up twelve

117
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: percent over the last year. That's the highest level ever

118
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,679
Speaker 1: since they started keeping tracks in two thousand and seven.

119
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: And it's interesting, right that homelessness is up twelve percent

120
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 2: right now. And by the way, for as much as

121
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: you hear about some of the very culturally enlightened trends

122
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: that the Biden administration likes to embody, right, so, but

123
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: homelessness is very decidedly anti woke because Blacks and Latinos

124
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: make up seventy percent of homeless Americans. And you think

125
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: there's something interesting about today being a day in which

126
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: we have.

127
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 4: A new report on homelessness, This is quite ironic because

128
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 4: today as this report gets released, is the twenty year

129
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 4: anniversary of Gavin Newsom's ten year plan to end homelessness

130
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: in San Francisco.

131
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: And he is just, I think, the poster child for

132
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: the broader problem, which is a lot of people on

133
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: the political left talk about it, but they never fix it.

134
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: And the reason is that they are.

135
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: I think, largely to blame for a lot of the

136
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: problems that we have.

137
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 3: When it comes to homelessness.

138
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: You had, of course the destitutionalization of you know, people

139
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: that are having mental health challenges no longer able to

140
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: get help, but also just the craziness of big government regulations.

141
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: There's a affordable housing union in Los Angeles. The Wall

142
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Street Journal reported on this that just got completed.

143
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: Now that seems like a wonderful thing, right, Happy holidays,

144
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: that the homelessness in Los Angeles. You now have a

145
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: home for the holidays, which is great.

146
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Lorena Plaza. Here's the problem.

147
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 1: They started building it in two thousand and six. It's

148
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: taken them seventeen years to build it. And that's largely

149
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: because of the laws, the requirements, the complexity of the

150
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: federal subsidies, all the bureaucrays that they had to deal with.

151
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: And these were for the working poor people that are

152
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: maybe working as landscapers or other than San Francisco, sorry,

153
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, that gives them a decent place to live.

154
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: This is how long it takes. So the government doesn't

155
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: solve this problem, it helps cause this problem.

156
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 2: I think you're ignoring the real benefit and the real

157
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: highlight of this particular story. Yes, it may have taken

158
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 2: seventeen years to build a forty nine unit affordable housing

159
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 2: project in Los Angeles, and yes, this may be the

160
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: twenty year anniversary of Gaven Newson's ten year plan to

161
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 2: end homelessness. But I'm willing to bet you that over

162
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 2: those seventeen years they constructed this a living complex in

163
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: a very environmentally sustainable way. I bet it's filled with

164
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: smart thermostats. I bet that it's not adding to climate change.

165
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 2: They probably lifted it up at the recent cop summit

166
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: and said this is what the future should look like.

167
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is the problem.

168
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: The Left says they prioritize everything, which means they don't

169
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: prioritize anything, and to the extent that they're going to

170
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: choose between strict environmental standards, are helping the poor their right.

171
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 2: So if environmental sustainability, if climate change is the existential

172
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: threat that the left says is threatening all of us,

173
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: and that means it's worth investing in it. And oh,

174
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: by the way, the Biden administration has invested plenty, But

175
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: in investing that much money and in all the pandemic

176
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: relief funds that they injected into the economy, that's what's

177
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: contributed to the inflation, which is what has made everything

178
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: else more expensive, which is why this year, people that

179
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: are making less than fifty thousand dollars, two thirds of

180
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,679
Speaker 2: them are saying, we're spending much less money. We don't

181
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: have it. Daddy ain't gonna have it for Christmas this year, folks.

182
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 2: And so I think that's why it all matters. It's

183
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: one thing to just to complain about. Yeah, it's silly

184
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: that it took twenty years to do the thing gavenuws

185
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: and said it would do intended silly it took seventeen

186
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 2: to build one complex. But at the end of the day,

187
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 2: there's a real price tag, yeah, for these failed policies,

188
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 2: And increasingly everyday Americans are stuck with the bill, which

189
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 2: means they can't pay the things that matter to them.

190
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, and this is the problem with

191
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 1: a broken administration and a broken policy, and they will

192
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: not admit their contribution to this issue. They will not

193
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: admit to the fact that they're pushing for this agenda.

194
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this in a little bit

195
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 1: with Seamus Brunner. But they're pushing this agenda that is

196
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: increasing the costs of basic foods for people in the

197
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: name of fighting climate change, and it's intentional. They want

198
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: the price of certain food items like meat, for example,

199
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: they actually want it to go up because guess what,

200
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: they want you to eat less of it.

201
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 3: That's just a symptom of it.

202
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: And when it comes to the housing problem, San Francisco

203
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: has thrown huge amounts of money against it. California has,

204
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: and the problem is they have completely lacked in results.

205
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: California has a higher homelessness rate than any other state

206
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: in the country. And it's not just because the warm

207
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 1: weather of California. Texas has warm.

208
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: Weather too, Florida has warm weather.

209
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: Florida has warm weather, but they flock to California because

210
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: they have failed policies that don't deal with the issue

211
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: and incentivize destructive behavior.

212
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: We're broadcasting today from Florida, by the way, from Tallahassee, Florida,

213
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 2: and Tallahassee has its own fair share of homelessness, but

214
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: that's because of the combination of warm weather and very

215
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: liberal municipal policies. And I think it's no different than

216
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: what California is. California is a fair to call it

217
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: a failed state. And if it is, then why are

218
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 2: some suggesting that Gavin news the leader of California, might

219
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 2: actually be the replacement for Joe Biden.

220
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 5: That.

221
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, a poll suggests the majority of

222
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 2: Democrats no longer want to be the presidential nominee.

223
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and who can blame them?

224
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 5: Right?

225
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: If you look at the fact that the walls were

226
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: closing in on the hunter Biden a corruption scander. We're

227
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: going to talk about that later today on the show.

228
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 1: You look at the terrible poll numbers, you look at inflation,

229
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: you look at the fact that, let's just say, he's

230
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 1: a little disengaged intellectually when it comes to certain things.

231
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: People are looking for a white knight to come in

232
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: and they think it's going to be Gavin Newsom.

233
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,079
Speaker 3: And that's that's what I think is going to happen.

234
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: I think Joe Biden's going to stay in the race,

235
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: so to speak up until the convention, and then at

236
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: the convention next summer he's going to say, you know what,

237
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: I've decided, I'm gonna step back, I'm gonna finish up

238
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: my term, and I want my delegates to go for

239
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: Gavin Newsom. And I think that's the direction we're headed.

240
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: Well, listen, you're the president of the government Accountability and stude,

241
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: I'm a mere vice president of the government accountability. So

242
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: far be it from me to actively and publicly on

243
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: national radio pushback against what you're saying. But I would

244
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: I disagree with one thing. I think Joe Biden's very

245
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: engaged on the inflation issue. We have actually a quote

246
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 2: from Joe Biden here. Listen to how engaged Joe Biden

247
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 2: is on inflation.

248
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 6: Republicans may have to find something else to criticize me

249
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 6: for now that inflation is coming down.

250
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 7: Magel side to unpeach me because it's coming down. I

251
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 7: don't know.

252
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: I love that one. Oh, anyway, it's not as.

253
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: Story, very sound reasoning there, sharp as attack, sharp as attack.

254
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, impeachment may be coming. We don't know.

255
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: There's certainly an impeachment inquiry underway, but it's not because

256
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: of inflation. It's not because of the fact that he's

257
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: so disengaged. It's because of Hunter Biden.

258
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 2: No, it's absolutely right. Well, that's one of the things

259
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 2: we're talking about today. We will break down I think

260
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: the unimpeachable case for impeachment in the five o'clock hour,

261
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: will be joined by Jason Schaefitz. Then we're gonna be

262
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 2: talked to Richard Corkran and Scott Walker on the four

263
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 2: o'clock hour about the liberal takeover academia and how we

264
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: can fight back against it. But coming up next, we're

265
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: going to tell you, yes, homelessness is here in certain

266
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: aspects of the country, but there's a group of people

267
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 2: that want to make you live kind of like a

268
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: homeless person. They want to control what you eat, they

269
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: want to control where you live. They want you to

270
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: sweat during the day and freeze at night. That heartwarming

271
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: holiday tail Next here on The Sean Handy Show, Peter

00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 6: You know, Mike Lindell is always looking for ways to

277
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 6: solve everyday problems. For example, you go into a store,

278
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 6: you're looking for a towel, You touch the towel, you'll

279
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 6: soft the first touch, and you bring them home, you

280
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 6: use it once or twice and you realize, oh, it's

281
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 6: not so soft and it's not absorbent. Well, that's why

282
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 6: Michael made my towels. They actually work and they stay

283
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 6: soft and absorbent. And My Pillow is now excited to

00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: Schweizer and Eric Eggers, we're filling in on the Sean

317
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: Hannity radio show. We want you to join the conversation

318
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: one eight hundred nine four one seven three two six.

319
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: We have the Drill Down podcast, and we were talking

320
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: earlier about inflation and food prices. But Eric, we don't

321
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: need to worry because they had a meeting in Dubai

322
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: with seventy thousand people showing up and they're going to

323
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: solve this problem.

324
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. From the people that told you you could no

325
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 2: longer buy a fossil fuel powered vehicle, come the people

326
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 2: that will tell you how to grow, which food you're

327
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 2: allowed to eat, and when you're allowed to eat it.

328
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: The headline coming from copp the Council of Parties. This

329
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: is the twenty eighth version of this collection of global

330
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: do gooders. They have now told us that food is

331
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: on the table and that should absolutely terrify everybody.

332
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, and what it means, by the way, is they

333
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: are seeking a dramatic reduction in the amount of meat

334
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: that is produced, primarily beef, because they say it's not

335
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: good for the environment. What that means is it's going

336
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: to get a lot more expensive.

337
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: Now.

338
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: The elites that fly to Dubai on their private planes

339
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: for this conference. They'll be able to still afford it.

340
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: You know, they're going to get that nice, big roast.

341
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: The rest of us, it's going to get really expensive

342
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: to do it. And I think there's a certain irony

343
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 1: by the way that this event being held in an

344
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: oil producer country didn't really focus as much on dealing

345
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: with fossil fuels, which presumably you would think they'd want to.

346
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: Instead, they go the.

347
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 1: Direction of agriculture, and small countries like Vanuatu are looking

348
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:12,960
Speaker 1: for a big pay day.

349
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, lots of big takeaways from this thing. For the

350
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: first time, they agreed to create this fund by which

351
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: what they call the polluting countries aka the big wealthy

352
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: countries will now give money to the poor countries. So

353
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: countries like you know, the Martial Islands, like we didn't

354
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: come here to sign our death warrant, but we will

355
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: pick up a check. And that's essentially what the John cares.

356
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: That one was like, oh, you're very brave for being here,

357
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: Please take this check with our sincere apologies. But that's

358
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: literally what they're doing. And so I think those are

359
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: the things that are on the table, not the least

360
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: of which is going to be Hey, uh, if thirty

361
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: percent or of a third of the greenhouse gas emissions

362
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: come from the way we grow food, that's one of

363
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: the headlines in the news, then guess what's next in

364
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: terms of the things they're trying to control about your life.

365
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: So coming up after the break, we're going to talk

366
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: to our fantastic colleague Seamus Bruner. He's at the Government

367
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 2: Accountability to also, So how many amazing researches do we

368
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 2: have and authors in our stable? Too many? But Seamus's book,

369
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: Control of Garks is blowing up the Internet. It actually

370
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 2: created a new word. The word of the year in

371
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 2: Australia is control of gark. And so he's the one

372
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 2: that broke the story about Bill Gates and his how

373
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 2: much farmland he's buying and how he's got the patents

374
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: on these seeds. So if you're wondering who's in charge

375
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 2: of telling you which food and where you're allowed to

376
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 2: grow it, Bill Gates at the moment, and he can

377
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 2: explain on this other news.

378
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're going to look forward to Seamus talking

379
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: about that. We're very proud of him. He started with

380
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: us as an intern ten years ago and He's now

381
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: written several books, so stay with us. We'll be back

382
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: shortly and again join the conversation. One eighth and nine

383
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 1: to four to one, Sean, We'll be back after this. Hi,

384
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: this is Peter Schweitzer and sitting next to me Eric Eggers,

385
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: and we are filling in for Sean as he takes

386
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: a well deserved break. I'm the president of the Government

387
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: Accountability Institute. Eric's the vice president there. I'm a number

388
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: one New York Times bestselling author, and we do a

389
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: pod cast together called The Drill Down.

390
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 3: Please do check it out.

391
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: We talk about cronyism, corruption and the abuse of power

392
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: and how to fight back.

393
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 2: You know, it isn't often someone says, I am a

394
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: number one New York Times bestselling author yet still manages

395
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: to undersell themselves. But you've managed to perform just that

396
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 2: feat Peter Schweitzer. Peter Schweitzer, of course, is the person

397
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 2: who wrote the book Clinton Cash, who exposed the overlap

398
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 2: of interest into donations of the Clinton Foundation and the

399
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: people that got favors from Hillary when she was Secretary

400
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 2: of State. Our research and reporting on Hunter Biden has

401
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: continued to set the stage for the revelations you're being

402
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 2: investigated at the steps of Capitol Hill, which is actually

403
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: very encouraging and very exciting, and I think a credit

404
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: to the work that you do. And one of the

405
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: people who has read every email that Hunter Biden has

406
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 2: received and has advanced the reporting on the Hunter Biden

407
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: story as much as anybody is our colleague Seamus Bruner,

408
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: who has another book, surprisingly, this one not about Hunter Biden,

409
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: but about actually something far more serious and nefarious. The

410
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: book is called Control the Garch's Seamous works with us

411
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: at Government Accountability and Suite. Shamus, we were just talking

412
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 2: of the Council of Parties and this collection of global

413
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 2: do gooders in the way in which they want to

414
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 2: control our lives and the name of global improvement. What's

415
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: the most concerning thing to come out of COP for you?

416
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, Well, I think, as you mentioned before the break,

417
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 7: in order to quote save the planet, these guys are

418
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,479
Speaker 7: very ambitious and I call them the controller Guards. These

419
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 7: are the people at COP twenty eight setting the policy

420
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 7: in order to save the planet. They want to reduce

421
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 7: your meat consumption and basically take full control over the

422
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 7: food supply, and so they're doing this in a number

423
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 7: of ways.

424
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,719
Speaker 5: I mean number one outright, bands.

425
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,479
Speaker 7: They're doing bands on certain agricultural activities, fertilizers, even cows.

426
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 7: Like right now, Ireland is preparing to slaughter tens, perhaps

427
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 7: hundreds of thousands of cows on the altar of climate change.

428
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: Wait pause, So you're telling me people are going to

429
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: kill cows in the name of climate change.

430
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, up to two hundred.

431
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 2: Thousand because cows are big polluters.

432
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 5: It's going to cost a lot of money too, By

433
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 5: the way, to kill these cows.

434
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: Here's the question. Everyone in America that's listening to you

435
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 2: right now wants to know if they go get in

436
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 2: a possible whopper from Burger king, are they a communist?

437
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 5: Eventually?

438
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: Oh I want to know too.

439
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: When they kill all these cows, are we going to

440
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: get to eat them or are they just going to

441
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: discard them?

442
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 7: Unclear, but it sounds like a lot of ribbies are

443
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 7: going to go to waste. So this and the banning method,

444
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 7: you know, this is this is the first way that

445
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 7: they want to change your behavior, change what you can eat.

446
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 7: The banning method is resulting in major backlash. I mean,

447
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 7: you've seen the Dutch farmers erupting in protest. Uh, you know,

448
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 7: farm tractor convoys in Canada. But that was about seeds though, right, No,

449
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 7: that's about.

450
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 5: The fertilizer respection. So it's not just cows.

451
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 7: They want to ban certain types of fertilizer. Right now France,

452
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 7: French farmers are also erupting in protests. They've been dumping

453
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 7: and spraying cow maneuver over government buildings.

454
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 5: That's just happened in the last two weeks.

455
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 2: French farmers are dumping caw maneu over buildings in France because.

456
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 7: Of like this is the restrictions, the climate change restrictions

457
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,439
Speaker 7: coming out of things like Cop twenty eight.

458
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 3: And just to be clear, this is not a new

459
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: form of French art. This is a protest.

460
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 5: No, no, is it a form of protest.

461
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: French mane would seem a little class than everybody else,

462
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 2: is it? It does, right, It's like I'm mad, but

463
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 2: I'm not that mad because it might be a delicacy

464
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: in New York.

465
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, So the banning method, I mean, that's really ticking

466
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 5: off the farmers.

467
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 7: But here's really the more pernicious method, and it's how

468
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 7: they nudge behaviors and they're artificially raising the costs of

469
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 7: the inputs for farmers, until you'll eventually find that you

470
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 7: can't afford the delicious Ribbie steaks at the grocery store,

471
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 7: and you'll find that the lab grown protein cells, these

472
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 7: fake meats that people like Bill Gates are invested in,

473
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 7: are just cheaper than ground beef, and so you'll think, well,

474
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 7: it doesn't taste that different, and so you'll find that

475
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 7: your behavior has changed without even knowing it.

476
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: And this is the wildest part of your book. By

477
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 2: the way, when you get into the Bill Gates stuff,

478
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 2: you have a phrase that you use for this, Like

479
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 2: Bill Gates has a phrase that he uses to try

480
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 2: to like incentivize people to do things that you might

481
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 2: not otherwise. Like if you think about the day, Hey,

482
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: would you like to eat something that's not really neat?

483
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 8: No?

484
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: But Bill Gates has a way to try to make

485
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 2: you do that.

486
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

487
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 7: Well, I mean he calls it alternative proteins, which sounds

488
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 7: much nice than fake lab grown meats. But he also

489
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 7: has this term, a nifty little euphemism for the price

490
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 7: increases that we're experiencing. He calls them green premiums. And

491
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 7: so he knows that we don't want to eat fake meat,

492
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 7: and we will Bok at the price of various green technologies.

493
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 7: I mean, for he also talks about green premiums on

494
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 7: electric vehicles. But it's a way to make your preferred

495
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 7: meat or your preferred vehicle more expensive, raising the cost

496
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 7: of fuel, raising the cost of the types of fertilizers

497
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 7: or grow you know, having cows, and so that will

498
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 7: and then in turn subsidize the alternatives.

499
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 5: That he wants.

500
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 7: And so he's plowed eleven point six billion dollars into

501
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 7: his food takeover scheme. And actually Pete botaj Edge some

502
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 7: listeners may remember, said the quiet part out loud kind

503
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 7: of about these green premiums. He says, quote, the more

504
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 7: pain we are all experiencing from the high price of gas,

505
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 7: the more benefit there is for those who can access

506
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 7: electric vehicles. And so that's really the way they see

507
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 7: this is the more pain that you experience when buying

508
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 7: stakes at the store, the more benefit there is to

509
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 7: companies like Impossible Meats.

510
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 3: Well, and here's the part.

511
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: Honestly, I have to say that's genius about what Bill

512
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: Gates is doing. I think it's a terrible idea. I

513
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: think there's so much hyping of the climate change issue.

514
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: But explain to people. This is actually a scheme not

515
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: just to quote unquote save the planet, but for Bill

516
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: Gates to actually make money because he wants to replace

517
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: real beef, which is not patented, with fake meat that

518
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: he and his buddies have the patents for. So he's

519
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna make money when we make this transition from pure

520
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: natural beef to this lab meat that he's making.

521
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 2: Like it's funny you would say, oh, you've cornered the

522
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: market on fake meat. It sounds like a put down

523
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 2: you'd using against your buddy in college. But it's actually

524
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: Bill Gates's business strategy.

525
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 7: It's exactly right, and he's doing it, and he and

526
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 7: the other controller Garks are doing it across a variety

527
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 7: of industries, not just food. And so I get into

528
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 7: the book, like, the number one goal of the controller Guarks,

529
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 7: besides making money is to take power away from and

530
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 7: this would be organizations like you know in the you

531
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 7: know COP twenty eight or the United Nations. The number

532
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 7: one goal they have is to take power away from

533
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 7: countries and citizens Americans like you and me, and transfer

534
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 7: that power to international institutions that they control. And so

535
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 7: once you understand that that's their goal and so it's

536
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 7: the Food and Agriculture Organization is who COP twenty eight

537
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 7: put out, is like they've got the roadmap to the

538
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 7: fake Meet future. Once you understand that the goal is

539
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 7: to take power away from countries and transfer it to

540
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 7: international institutions, they control a lot of the chaos starts

541
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 7: to make sense. I mean, you touched on inflation and

542
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 7: open borders, crime, homelessness. I mean it feels like, you know,

543
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 7: these can't be just accidents all happening at once, and

544
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 7: there's a concerted effort in a lot of the crises

545
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 7: that we see to take power away from countries and

546
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,360
Speaker 7: give it to organizations that are going to solve these crises.

547
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 1: Well, and here's the thing, Shamus backs all of this up,

548
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: not with opinion, not with somebody else's opinion, but with

549
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: hard facts. He's gone through the corporate records, He's gone

550
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: through the histories. His book is Control of Garchs, the

551
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 1: subtitle exposing the billionaire class, their secret deals and the

552
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 1: globalist plot to dominate your life. I would highly recommend

553
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: you pick it up. This is one of the defining

554
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: issues we are going to face. And the problem is

555
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: it depends you know, certainly who is in political office.

556
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: But these guys want to implement their agenda regardless of

557
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,960
Speaker 1: who is president. So unless you have a presidential candidate

558
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: and elected officials that are willing to resist them, this

559
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: is the path that seems to be going forward for

560
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 1: Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and and of course

561
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: George Soros, who are featured on the cover of your book.

562
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: And here's my concern is if they get buy in

563
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 2: at the federal level to support these crazy policies. Because

564
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: there's a lot of AG lobbyists at COP right, I mean,

565
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 2: just like there's a lot of there's a lot of

566
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 2: fossil fuel lobbyists that this collection as well. They said

567
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: there's twenty four hundred fossil fueld obous because they recognize

568
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: that there actually might be policies that dramatically negatively impact

569
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 2: the industry. But you've also now seen some of these

570
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 2: oil and gas companies start to get into things like

571
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 2: carbon capture, right, so you're moving away from doing the

572
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 2: things that made them very successful businesses. There's a lot

573
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: of AG lobbyists at cop do we actually think if

574
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 2: the money's there, that the AG companies start moving away

575
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: from things like traditional agriculture and moving more towards these things,

576
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: and they become part of the solution quote unquote.

577
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 7: Average you know, Joe farmer, you know down the road.

578
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 7: It's it's big Monsanto like Cargi, like you know, multinational

579
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 7: corporations and their lobbyists who are taking control of the

580
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 7: agriculture industry and putting the smallholder farmers out of business.

581
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 7: And so just ask any farmer you may know if

582
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 7: their business has gotten more or less profitable since climate

583
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 7: change became public enemy number one, it's gotten less profitable.

584
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 5: Farmer.

585
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 7: You know, generation owned farms are going out of business,

586
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,239
Speaker 7: you know, left and right, and they're getting bought up.

587
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 7: And that's why Bill Gates is buying all this farmland

588
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 7: is is he's making it compliant with the new regulations

589
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 7: that are coming out of events like Cop twenty eight.

590
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 7: And so he's got the solution to your problems. You

591
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 7: didn't know you had problems about. Bill Gates has got.

592
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,719
Speaker 2: The solution, which is why French farmers are flinging feces

593
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 2: all over the place.

594
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly right.

595
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: Well on this highlights a truism that we have found

596
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 1: at GAI over and over again. Occurs in American politics.

597
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: The biggest lie is that big government hates big business.

598
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: Big government loves big business. They would rather deal with

599
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: a couple of large, powerful ag firms than deal with

600
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand medium sized farmers because it's a lot

601
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: more complicated. And by the way, if you work for

602
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: the government, if you work at the AGG Department, you

603
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: may want to go work for one of these companies.

604
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: You may want to go work for Bill Gates. You're

605
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: going to make a lot more money doing that than

606
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: trying to become a farmer yourself. So this is a

607
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: reinforcing cycle within big government and big business. They're not enemies,

608
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: they're actually allies.

609
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly right. I mean competition is Bill Gates's number

610
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 7: one enemy. I mean, that's why Microsoft got into trouble

611
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 7: in the nineties for trying to put the competition out

612
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 7: of business. And that's actually a central theme of the

613
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 7: book is the control of arks. Want a control legopoly.

614
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 7: They want to control every industry with very few players

615
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 7: where they're sort of competitors. But it's much more like

616
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 7: what they have in China with these state run businesses

617
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 7: that there's only a handful of players. They're all in

618
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 7: bed with the government, and that's the ideal system to

619
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 7: the people going to events like COP twenty eight.

620
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 2: It's such a great point. I hate to give you

621
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,400
Speaker 2: credit on national radio because you always take my parking spot,

622
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 2: but also because no, it's an excellent point. Bill Gates

623
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 2: has an anti competitive track record that was litigated at

624
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: the highest levels of the US court system. So we

625
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 2: know that this is a business model. And as Peter

626
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: Schweizer has reported in his last number one New York

627
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: Times Best Slane book, Red Handed, all these big tech guys,

628
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: many of whom you have as controller guarcs, love what

629
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: the Chinese Communist.

630
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: Party, They love China, Bill Gates love China. Tell us

631
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: about Bill Gates's relationship and what he admires about the

632
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: dictatorial regime in Beijing.

633
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, well, Bill Gates, klau Schwab, a lot of the

634
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 7: other characters in this book. They praised China. They love

635
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 7: China because China is and they use again euphemism and

636
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 7: they say things like efficient or their ability to mobilize resources.

637
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 7: What that really means is they're a tyrannical state with

638
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 7: total authoritarian control over their populace and they can move

639
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 7: without any sort of pesky voting or elections and things

640
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 7: like that. They can just take over, you know, whatever

641
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 7: they want, and that's what they that's what they love

642
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 7: most about China's.

643
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 2: But biggest complain about free speech and human rights. It's

644
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: so inefficient. It's true as time to build these into

645
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: the business model. Seamus Bruner, amazing work. This really is

646
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 2: a great book, and I tease it before the break,

647
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 2: but control the gark is a word you made up

648
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: for your book, but it was also named the new

649
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: word of the year in Australia.

650
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right. I mean I was shocked.

651
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 7: I was just searching to see if anybody had, you know,

652
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 7: picked up some coverage, and all of a sudden I

653
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 7: look at Sky News Australia and they have their resident wordsmith.

654
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 5: I'll give him a shout out, Kel Richards. He's the man.

655
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 7: He ran a study and had you know, took votes

656
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 7: and things like misinformation and like other terms popped up.

657
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 7: But control of Arcs was the number one new word

658
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 7: in Australia.

659
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: Congratulations.

660
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 2: Number one new word in Australia, and it should be

661
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 2: the number one book in the country. It's that important

662
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: and I think it's absolutely laying out of roadmap for

663
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: what people are trying to do to our lives in America,

664
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 2: and that's why we continue to highlight the reporting that's

665
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 2: done there. We'll talk more about that. Take your calls

666
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 2: and we come back. It's one eight hundred and nine

667
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 2: four one seven, three two six. It's one eight hundred

668
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 2: and ninety four to one. Sean. It's Peter Schweizer and

669
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 2: Eric Eggers host the Drill Down podcast in for Sean Handy.

670
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 2: Back right after this.

671
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 1: Peter Schweitzer, Eric Eggers, we're filling in for Sean Hannity

672
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: on his radio program, and we've been talking about lab meet.

673
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,000
Speaker 1: We've been talking about inflation and homelessness and how inflation

674
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: is sometimes encouraged and desired by political elites and global

675
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: elites because they are trying to steer your life and

676
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: direct your life. And so, Eric, are you going to

677
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: be getting lab meat for your Christmas meal this year?

678
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 7: No?

679
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 2: I think lab meat is the ultimate white elephant gift

680
00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: exchange though. Right, it's like, oh awesome, you can stay

681
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: right at that twenty dollars limit, that's right, that's the

682
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: best part. Yeah, And it's a way to make a

683
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: political statement and if somebody is a liberal or there

684
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: happen to be in favor of the direction many people

685
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: are trying to take this country. Then you know you're

686
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 2: hitting a home run. And if not, then it's a

687
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: fun little gag. It's actually the perfect white elephant gift.

688
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: It is the perfect white elephant gift. It's also important

689
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: for us to know the full extent of why things

690
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: are going on. It's not a conspiracy. It's it's not

691
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 1: a secret cabal of people. It's individuals that have strong

692
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: beliefs about how society needs to be reorganized and conformed

693
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: to the pattern that they feel it should exist, and

694
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: they want to use, let's say, incentives to steer you

695
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: in that direction. And they do that by raising prices,

696
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: changing laws, pushing regulations. Oftentimes not by passing legislation, but

697
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: by getting unelected bureaucrats to advance their agenda. So this

698
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 1: is a very anti democratic.

699
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 2: You know, we did this show two years ago from

700
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 2: New York City. So we did it in December of

701
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, and I remember being in New York

702
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: and walking around and seeing all the people with masks

703
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 2: and everything else on and just thinking how different it

704
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: was in a different state than the state that we

705
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 2: live in in Florida. Yeah, and you know, COVID I

706
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 2: think really helped underscore the difference in how political leadership

707
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: can impact your daily reality. And when stuff like this

708
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: comes along, it kind of makes me worried. Like you

709
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 2: could see, they've already passed the law in California said

710
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 2: they're gonna sell any more gas par vehicles starting in

711
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 2: the next decade. Do you really think that banning things

712
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 2: like real meat, or banning things that we take to

713
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 2: be essential parts of the fabric of the American life

714
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 2: are off the table.

715
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 5: I don't.

716
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 3: No, I don't either.

717
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna get worse before it gets better.

718
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: And it does matter who our elected officials are, because

719
00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna determine whether we go along with this or

720
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: we actually resist it and fight for the rights and

721
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: the things that we believe in.

722
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 2: Well, we're going to continue to talk about the things

723
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: that madden the things that we believe in. It's Peter

724
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: schweiz Er Eric Eggers filling in for Sean Handy or

725
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 2: the host of the Drill Down podcast. We hope check

726
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: it out. We're back right after this
