1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: This is a special edition of The Sean Hannity Show 2 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines, Day number two ninety six. 3 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: Right our two Sean Hannity Show Toll free. It's eight 4 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 1: hundred and nine four one sewn. You want to be 5 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 1: a part of the program. So Democrats are counting on 6 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: the fact that they can run on an anti gun 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 1: agenda and repealing Second Amendment rights of Americans. They have 8 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: not yet come to the conclusion that if Rowe has 9 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: anticipated is in fact overturned, that abortion will be legal. 10 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: And by the time election day comes around, people will 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: have concluded the obvious, which is they only sent this 12 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: back to the states, that it is not enumerated in 13 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: the Constitution. Therefore that's not going to work. So you know, 14 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: what do they have left at this point to lash 15 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: out blame me companies and corporations, greedy corporations. And you know, 16 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: how do they explain away a forty two year high 17 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: end of inflation. How do you explain away record high 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: gas prices on top of record high gas prices on 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: top of record high gas prices. Well, if you peet Buddha, judge, 20 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 1: you come up with this genius answer. But we also 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: know that the price of gasoline is not set by 22 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: a dial in the Oval office. And when an oil 23 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 1: company is deciding hour by hour how much to charge 24 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: you for a gallon of gas, they're not calling the 25 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: administration to ask what they should do. They're doing it 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: based on their goal of maximizing their profits. It's been 27 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: very striking right now to see these oil companies who 28 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: have become almost ridiculously profitable, and you hear these oil 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: executives on the record talking about how they're not going 30 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: to increase production. Why would they? They're doing great right now. 31 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: It's why the President has called for a use it 32 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: or lose it policy, where if you're sitting on these 33 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: thousands of permits like these oil executives have been, and 34 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: you're not doing anything with them, then you're going to 35 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: be held accountable for that now. So far, congressional Republicans 36 00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: have blocked action to do something like that, but we 37 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: think that's another step that would make a difference. Okay, 38 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: so what are we talking about price controls here? The 39 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 1: big part of the equation that he's missing are all 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,679 Speaker 1: of the restrictions that they put on oil leasing and 41 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: production of oil and gas and coals since they've come 42 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 1: into power because all of that has impacted the ability 43 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: of oil and gas companies to actually produce more oil 44 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: and gas, and their policies have directly resulted in a 45 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: significant decrease in the world's supply of the lifeblood of 46 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: the world's economy, and they cause that. They should own 47 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 1: that in many ways. You know, Buddha Judge even said 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: in the past, we'll get an electric car. He also 49 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: is out there saying in the past that you know 50 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: you've got you better get used to these high gas 51 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,920 Speaker 1: prices because this is the way it's going to be 52 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: until we become energy independent. With their definition of clean energy, 53 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: that means no time in the future, So get used 54 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 1: to it. Then you've got, for example, Gene Sperling, senior 55 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,959 Speaker 1: Biden advisors, saying, I'm not going to feel the high 56 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: the pain of high gas prices. It's going to be 57 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: the American people, No kidding, listen, No, I mean dollars 58 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: for gas this morning? Do you feel it? Do you 59 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: pay it? Look? You know, we see it. We see 60 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 1: you know, gallan gallon of milk go to five dollars. 61 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: Everybody understands that that is a hit. I think I'm 62 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: not going to try to say that I, you know, 63 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: feel that pain personally as much as so many families 64 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: who can make fifty or sixty thousand. But yet do 65 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: I do we feel that pain? Do we understand that frustration? 66 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 1: All right? Oh? Sure? Then of course our Energy secretary 67 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: grand Home was asked what they're gonna do about it? Oh, 68 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: she goes off into this giggling fit, you know, reminiscent 69 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: a little bit of Kamala Harris giggling at the most 70 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: inappropriate times, and then blaming OPEC and and not focusing 71 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: on the fact that America's reduced artificially the supply of 72 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: the world's market. Listen, what is the grand plan to 73 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: increase oil production in America? That is hilarious? Would that 74 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: I had the magic wand on this? As you know, 75 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled 76 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC, And they 77 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: demand a decision yesterday that they were not going to 78 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: increase beyond what they were already planning. All right, Johnny 79 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: us now to disgust, debate and look at possible real solutions, 80 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: and considering this as impacting the poor of the middle 81 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: class disproportionally, people on fixed incomes disproportionately, in other words, 82 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: the vast majority of the American people disproportionately, and the 83 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: fact that all of this is preventable, and all of 84 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: this is easily fixable, it makes it even more frustrating. 85 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,479 Speaker 1: Daniel Turner is the founder executive director of Power the Future. 86 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: It's a national nonprofit organization that advocates for American energy jobs, which, 87 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: by the way, are high paying career jobs that we 88 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: used to have when we had the policies of Donald Trump. Dan, 89 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: we've also with us the president of the Pennsylvania Oil 90 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: and Gas Association. Welcome both of you to the program. Daniel, 91 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: I'll start with you. Is there anything that I'm saying 92 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: about the Biden administration policies artificially reducing the world's supply 93 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: resulting in the dramatic increase in price. No, absolutely not. 94 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 1: I mean this is a direct cause and effect. Biden 95 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: during his campaign said he wanted to phase out oil 96 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: and gas. He said he wanted to stop drilling and permitting. 97 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: He said, no new permits. So this is exactly what 98 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: was going to result. We saw this coming. The problem 99 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: is Biden doesn't want to deal with the political fallout 100 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: and quite frankly for Pete Buddha judge. First of all, 101 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: Pete budajas doesn't even understand transportation and he's the Transportation secretary, 102 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: so why he thinks he understands oil and gas is 103 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 1: absurd for him to make those dumb comments to blame 104 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: oil companies for gas prices when they're not even the 105 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: same industry, right, your oil company is not your gas company, 106 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: So that is just an insulting comment. And again Pete 107 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: Budaja somehow wants us to believe that at record high 108 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: prices the oil company doesn't want to produce more because 109 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,799 Speaker 1: they're greedy. That just logically, it doesn't even make any sense. 110 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: Of course, the industry wants to produce more oil and gas, 111 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: but they're not going to if they know the Biden 112 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: administration is going to punish them at every step of 113 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: the way. So let me ask to this point. So 114 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: by reducing the number of available leases and auctions on 115 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: public lands, etc. Is it or is it not accurate 116 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: that when companies begin the process of exploration for oil, 117 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: even though they might think that there's oil in a 118 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 1: particular area or gas natural gas, they don't know until 119 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: they start the process. Is that true, absolutely, and starting 120 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 1: getting your permits, your land permits. These are the nine 121 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: thousand permits that Jensaki would always talk about. That is 122 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: just the very first step. Just because you have access 123 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 1: to land does not mean you have permission to drill, 124 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: and your exploratory wells need permission, and you need extraction 125 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: permission and unique permission to frack on top of that. 126 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: And those are all the steps that the Biden administration 127 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: is holding up at the Department of Interior, even at 128 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: the EPA with ongoing regulatory and litigation. So it doesn't 129 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: make any sense for the oil company to say, yes, 130 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 1: we have this lease, but why would we begin to 131 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: drill on it if they won't give us permission? And 132 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: if we even begin, they're going to bring us to court, 133 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: They're going to stop us, they're going to shut us down. 134 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: So if they have created a hostile climate to the industry, 135 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: the industry is responding by basically not doing anything. And 136 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: it makes perfect sense. Let may play a cut of 137 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: Joe Biden them will bring in and Dan Weaver with us. 138 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: This is Biden's war on fossil fuels his own words, Listen, 139 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: we're all dead. Do anywhere with any subsidies for fossil 140 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: fuels number one. Number two, holding them liable for what 141 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: they have done, particularly in those cases where your underserved neighborhoods. 142 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: And you know the deal, okay, And by the way, 143 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: when they don't or they deliver, it will put them 144 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: in jail. Kid. I want you to just take a look. Okay, 145 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 1: you don't have to agree, but I want you look 146 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: in my eyes. I guarantee you. I guarantee you We're 147 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: going to end fossil fuel and I am not going 148 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: to cooperate on Would there be any place for fossil fuels, 149 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: including coal and fracking in a Biden administration, No, would, 150 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 1: We would work it out. We would make sure it's eliminated. 151 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: He's saying it, Dan Weaver in his own words. So 152 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: this was his stated policy prior to being an elected president. 153 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,440 Speaker 1: So why would we be surprised that he's followed through 154 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: and all these promises. We're not. You know, you're exactly right, 155 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: he stated what he's going to do. They're executing their 156 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: plan to the best of their ability, but yet they're 157 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: blaming us in our industry for their policies that they're 158 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: putting in place. Just as Daniel said, when he comes 159 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: down to the permit, they're saying, Oh, you're not drilling 160 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: these wells, you're not drilling those well but you're blocking us. 161 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: You're making it in the inability to move the product 162 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: to market. We do not have the ability to put 163 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: a pipeline in the ground out there. So where are 164 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: we at? How is that our fault? When you are 165 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: you came up with the plan, you're executing your plan. 166 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: I mean it seems now let's go to specifically the 167 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: issue of natural gas and Pennsylvania and states like Ohio. 168 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: But you're the president of the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Association. 169 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 1: My understanding is based on current estimates, we have over 170 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: two hundred years worth of natural gas reserves that we 171 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: currently know about at least two hundred years. And correct 172 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, Dan Weaver. Can't the combustion engine 173 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: be adjusted to allow natural gas to power that engine? Oh? Absolutely, 174 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. There's been CNG vehicles out there, LNG, 175 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: so that technology has been available for decades. Am I 176 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: wrong on that? No, you're not wrong. You're not wrong. 177 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: I know that because I bought a Providence Gas Company 178 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: van that had been converted to natural gas for use 179 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,320 Speaker 1: and then converted back to gasoline. But anyway you go 180 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: right ahead, No, you're you're exactly right. The technology is there, 181 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: it's already proven, it's already safe, it's already available, but 182 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: we just have to put it into use. And again 183 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: that goes back to permits, and that goes back to 184 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: we need to get that approved. So you can't just instantly, 185 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: you know, put up a C AND station overnight or 186 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: an LG station. You have to have this distribution network there. Yes, 187 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 1: we can tap into them when they're available, but again, 188 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: we need that certainty. And that's what it comes down 189 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: to in any business, not just ours. It's certainty. So 190 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: whether it's regulatory certainty through the permitting process, or whether 191 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: that certainty that you know you can be able to 192 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: build the buildings that you need to do or build 193 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: the infrastructure there. We have to have that certainty as 194 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: we continue. Daniel Turner as with us, founder executive director 195 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: of Power the Future, a national nonprofit that advocates for 196 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: American energy jobs. Dan Weaver is the president of the 197 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Association. I want to ask you 198 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: both the same question that Dan. We'll give you the 199 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 1: first crack at it and or Dan Weaver. We'll give 200 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: you the first crack out it because we have two 201 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: Daniels on the line. So explain to me the difference. 202 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: What is the difference if you import a barrel of 203 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: oil from the Middle East OPEC, Nations, Venezuela, Iran, Russia, 204 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: or you produce the oil in the United States in 205 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: terms of its impact on if you will, Mother Earth? 206 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: Is there any difference because to me, the fact that 207 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 1: they want to import the energy rather than produce its 208 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 1: insanity to me. Well, actually, I would say there is 209 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 1: a difference, Like we have environmental regulations here that we 210 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: have to follow, and what people tend to forget. Well, 211 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: I won't say it's people in general, but certain people 212 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: forget that it's one atmosphere. Right, So if we have 213 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: that ability to produce that oil here, and we can 214 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: do so, we can do so responsibly under environmental regulations. 215 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: Not only that, we have the ability to put Americans 216 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: to job and we had them, and we had the 217 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: ability to control our own future through secure energy. Right now, 218 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 1: relying on other people and then keeping to deplete our 219 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: our reserve is beyond I don't I want to say 220 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: it's ludicrous your take, Let me ask you, Daniel Turner. Absolutely, 221 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: it's not just the cost of shipping that oil across 222 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: the Atlantic Pacific, regardless of where it comes from. You know, 223 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 1: those tangers have to burn a lot of diesels. So 224 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: if your goal is to be environmentally conscientious, then you 225 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: want to move that oil as efficiently as possible, and 226 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: nothing is more efficient than a pipeline. But there's also 227 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: a humanitarian cost. I mean, do we really think Iran 228 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: is as having OSHA and compliance meetings and they're wearing 229 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: hard hats. Do we really think they're careful with groundwater contamination? 230 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's the same in other industries as well. 231 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 1: You look at coal and where coal prices are tech. 232 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: Someone like Tom Stier ran for president saying he was 233 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: going to shut down all the coal in America, and 234 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: yet he's the largest owner of Malaysian and Indonesian and 235 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: Chinese coal companies where there are ten year old girls 236 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: who work eighteen hour days. And Tom Stier is a 237 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: hero of the environmental left, and look at coal prices 238 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: right now, and how much is he and his hedge 239 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: fund pharallon capital making. So the whole green movement when 240 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,720 Speaker 1: you look at it, you really is. It is just 241 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 1: one enormous grift. It's a foreign funded, anti American energy 242 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: run by people who have a competing investments. Whether it's 243 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: Chinese coal, whether it's Chinese wind and solar, whether it's 244 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: venezuel and oil. That is the green movement in America, 245 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: and we need to call them out for the America 246 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: hating globalists that they are. Is there any other alternative 247 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: energy source, clean energy source, or cleaner energy source on 248 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: the horizon that would be affordable for every American? Dan 249 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: weaver Um, You're starting to see an emergence within the 250 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: hydrogen market, but again that's coming from natural gas. I 251 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: mean there's there's blue hydrogen, which is natural gas driven, 252 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: and then there's green. Right, So that kind of answers 253 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: that question. And by the way, don't these electric cars 254 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: don't they need gas products? And these batteries, Well, what 255 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: are the materials needed for those? Oh, it's it's high 256 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: end plastics. It's you know, within the batteries, there's all 257 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: the minerals. But you look at what it takes to 258 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: get those rare minerals. Yeah, we may have some of 259 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: those terms in the A state, but the processing facilities 260 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: are aware they're in China, so we've got to ship 261 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: them over to China, have them process so they can 262 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: turn around and ship the products back to US. So, 263 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: and what kind of effort does it take to actually 264 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: extract those rare of minerals from the earth. So, if 265 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: we're looking at overall carbon footprint, wouldn't we have been 266 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: better off just to run a C and G or 267 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: an LNG vehicle from the start? Boy, you guys are 268 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: making way too much sense for any Democrat listening to 269 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: this program right now. It's sad. It's all preventable, it's 270 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 1: all fixable, and it's not going to happen with the 271 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: Democrats in charge. That's that's a sad part of this. 272 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: Daniel Turner, thank you, Dan Weaver, thank you. Eight hundred 273 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: nine four one, Sean. If you want to be a 274 00:15:37,640 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 1: part of the program, quick break right back holding them accountable. 275 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: Sean gets the answers no one else does. America desserts 276 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: and know the truth about Congress all right, twenty five 277 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: down to the top of the hour, eight hundred and 278 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: nine for one, Seawn, if you want to be a 279 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: part of the program, did you see that Rhonda Santis 280 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: is apparently supposed to speak in at Chelsea Piers, which 281 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: is I'm I think it's on the west side of 282 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 1: New York City. And anyway, so they have Pride Month 283 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: going on in New York City and Rhonda Santis that 284 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: they keep going back to the so called don't Say 285 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: Gay law, which it never was. All this was about 286 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: was kindergarteners through what second third grade, whatever it was, 287 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: is that we're not going to indoctrinate kids into you know, 288 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: gender transgender, gender inequality issues, and that they were going 289 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: to focus on reading, writing, math, science, and computers and 290 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: get our kids educated because we pay more per capita 291 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: for student than any other industrialized country with the worst results. Anyway, 292 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 1: you have a state senator, two fellow LGBTQ Democrats are 293 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: calling on Chelsea Peers to cancel the event at one 294 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: of its venues set to feature the governor of Florida. 295 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: And the thing that infuriates me about this is more 296 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: than anything else, is that's not what the bill is. 297 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 1: The bill never mentions the word gay. It doesn't even 298 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: talk about it. You know, it's parents wanting to instill 299 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 1: their values and their children. I'm not sure why that's 300 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: such a foreign concept. Sticking to the basics in school. 301 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 1: You know, once we are number one, number one or 302 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: two in terms of our educational system teaching kids to read, write, 303 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 1: to math, science, and computers, then maybe we can move 304 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: on to the social issues. But we're not doing a 305 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: good job at the fundament mental issues. Governor of New York, 306 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: it turns out, is now apparently building out a two 307 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: million dollars spacious, state of the art executive office in 308 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: a Buffalo building whose landlord is a big campaign contributor, 309 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,639 Speaker 1: according to the documents, Does she not know it's an 310 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,400 Speaker 1: election year? I guess you have what Lee Zeldon, rob Asterino, 311 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: Andrew Giuliani. I think Zelden is in the lead. Zelden, 312 00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 1: in one poll, was within four points even in New 313 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 1: York of potentially putting the state of New York and 314 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 1: play for the governorship. When she became governor, she ordered 315 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: that her office be made bigger by taking down a 316 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,440 Speaker 1: wall than she had been given access to a balcony. 317 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: According to sources familiar with the expansion, the extensive renovations 318 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: on the fifth floor of this mixed usee building in 319 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo's historic Cobblestone district began after Hoko replaced Andrew Cuomo. 320 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: Why is this the first thought of people? Like? People 321 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: ask me about you know, well, what about your office? 322 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't care about my office. I spend 323 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: a little time in my office as possible. That's not 324 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: where I do. I do my work in studios. I 325 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: do my work in quiet. I just like total silence 326 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: while I'm doing with my preparation. You got another House 327 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: Democrat that would want to hit AR fifteens with a 328 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 1: one thousand percent tax. That's just another back doorway of 329 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: banning guns. But we'll see how far that goes. I 330 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: don't think it's going to go very far in my 331 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 1: humble opinion. And anyway, eight hundred nine four one shown. 332 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 1: Oh my favorite story, Linda, You're gonna love this story. 333 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 1: An Appella Court. California Court rules that the bumblebee is 334 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: a fish under environmental law. Did you know that? I 335 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: bet you did not. I did not know that. You're 336 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: teaching me a lot today. I'm teaching you a lot today. Okay. Now, 337 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: remember we went out to the San Juanquivan Valley when 338 00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 1: he didn't even have an endangered species. And this is, 339 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 1: you know, an area really heavy farming area inside of 340 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: California more inland, and we go to the sand Juan 341 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: Cave Valley and farmers don't have any water. And the 342 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: reason that they don't have any waters because the state 343 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,239 Speaker 1: put the priority of the delta smelt. Now many of 344 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: you are asking, what's a delta smelt? If you look 345 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: up a picture of it on Google or Yahoo wherever 346 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: you do your searching, or that doesn't really matter. It 347 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: basically is a minnow fish. There's no shortages of delta smelts. 348 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: How is it possible a bumblebee? Now, Linda, correct me 349 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. Does the science show the bumblebee swim? 350 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: Because I've never heard of a bumblebee swimming. I can 351 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,400 Speaker 1: promise you that as we have this conversation right now, 352 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: there is a scientist somewhere forming a study just to 353 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: prove that a bumblebee can swim. I promise you that's happening, 354 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: all right. So the case is called I'm Indollions of 355 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: Calilifornia versus the Fish and Game Commission, which is the 356 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 1: California State Appello Court, third District, and they said the 357 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: issue presented here is whether the bumblebee, which is a 358 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: terrestrial invertebrate again falls within the definition of a fish. Now, 359 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: when I think of a fish, don't you think of water, 360 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: Because I've actually, in the course of my life yellow jackets, bumblebees, wasps. 361 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: You know, if I catch him, I'm gonna usually flush 362 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: him down the toilet. I had no idea they'd be 363 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: able to swim. Yeah, I don't think that. I don't 364 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: think of them as I admit that I smush them. 365 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 1: Then I'll probably get arrested for smushing a bumblebee. Well, 366 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: they have a whole song about that. It's like a 367 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: nursery rhyme. It's just rediculous. So, according to the judges, 368 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: get this, the bumblebee is classified as a fish as 369 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: a liberal interpretation of the word fish, as well as 370 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 1: the state's own legislative history, including quote non aquatic life. 371 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean, so you have a dark earth bumblebee. You 372 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 1: know they show a picture sitting on a flower, etc. Etc. 373 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:10,640 Speaker 1: The judge explains, although the term fish commonly understood to 374 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 1: refer to an aquatic species, the law as it is 375 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:18,400 Speaker 1: written makes the legal definition of fish not so limited 376 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: according to court documents. And I'm not making any of 377 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: this up. Then the court explained how the Endangered Species 378 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: Act has given classification authority to the Fish and Game 379 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: Commission to determine what is and what is not an 380 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: endangered species, and under the law, the Commission is solely 381 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: responsible for establishing a list of endangered species and a 382 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: list of threatened species. And the court found that the 383 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: Commission's authority was not limited to listing only aquatic invertebrates. 384 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: Does that make any sense? No, But it's the same 385 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 1: people who allow crackheads to sit outside or ten feet 386 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: from schools, and they think this is totally fine, And 387 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: you're allowed to rob Walgreens as long as it's not 388 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: over one thousand dollars. So I've kind of given up 389 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: on califul. I think I'm giving up too. Man. John 390 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,720 Speaker 1: is in New Jersey. John, how are you good? Afternoon? 391 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: Good afternoon, sir. It's a pleasure to talk to you. 392 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: Nice to talk to you. What's going on? My dad 393 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 1: never missed an episode of Hannity and Combs. That's how 394 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 1: far back we go. We'll tell you. Dad. I guess 395 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: it sounds like your dad passed away. Did you lose 396 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 1: your dad? He did a number of years ago. But 397 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: he was a great man and I love. I still 398 00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: missed my dad. Twenty going on twenty seven years after 399 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: twenty my dad rose six um. I lifelong resident, grown 400 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: up in New Jersey, and I am just done. I 401 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: bought a house in Sarah Soota, moving down there probably 402 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: in February March next year, and I can't wait. I'm 403 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: tired of the politics and the crime in the city. 404 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: I work in. The Bronx is some nightmare to come 405 00:23:57,600 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: to work, It's a nightmare to go home. And I'm 406 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 1: just done with it. I'll tell you, these Democrats have 407 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:07,160 Speaker 1: killed anything good. Fifty nine percent of your fellow New 408 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 1: Jerseyans want out. I mean, there was an article today 409 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: about Pennsylvania, and you know, people in the Commonwealth of 410 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 1: Pennsylvania they want out too. They want completely out of 411 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: this thing. I got a prime keybow with your name 412 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: on it, and a grill grill steak. I don't have 413 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 1: a lot of friends in Sarah Sara SODA's great look. 414 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: I like both coasts. I like the East coast, which 415 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: is Sara Soda Port, Myers, Naples. I love that area 416 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: southwest Florida, and then I like the eastern part of Florida. Jupiter, 417 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, straight on down through Miami. I mean, I'd 418 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: love any place that's near water. I love to stare 419 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: at water. And if I can do that, bring your 420 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 1: bike and we'll go riding. I will bring my bike. 421 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: We'll called bike riding, and then you can make me 422 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: my rib bi anyway, good. You know what, I'm not 423 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: far behind you. I've already been making the moves, putting 424 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: everything in, all the pieces in place to eventually get 425 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: down there with you. And hopefully God lets me live 426 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: long enough to make that happen. Anyway, back to our phones, 427 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: Tom and Ohio, Tom, how are you good? How are you? 428 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: I'm good, sir. What's going on doing? Okay? I just 429 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: want to talk about like these gun control legislations that's 430 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: gone around. I think that the Republicans in Congress should 431 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: get together an offer an amendment where if it's if 432 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 1: whatever the restrictions, then type or caliber or magazine capacity, 433 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 1: the same should apply to the Secret Service, to the 434 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: Capitol Police that protect the senators and congressmen. You know, 435 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: if it's good enough for the American people that they 436 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: should abide by those same restrictions they keeping out Dan, 437 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: do you want the company? Do you want to couture 438 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: to give up as nuclear weapons. I don't should people 439 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: be allowed to have nuclear weapons? Hell no, I mean 440 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: that's obvious, but that's not the Second Amendment. The right 441 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 1: of the people to keep in bear arms is pretty 442 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: unambiguous to me. It's very clear. And Joe Biden's disagreement, 443 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: it's not absolute. All he wants. You know, the idea 444 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: that they can you know, regulate an inanimate object is 445 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: insane to me. But go ahead, finish your thought. Yeah, 446 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,639 Speaker 1: I mean I agree, it's just but I mean, you know, 447 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: stuff gets passed. I mean, like, you know, it's the 448 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: same thing when Obamacare passed and who was supposed to 449 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: apply to Congress. They found a loophole. They always find 450 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,639 Speaker 1: a loophole. There's nothing else that should I think it 451 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 1: should be put out there just to shame them, to 452 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,480 Speaker 1: you know, get the story going, because you know, the 453 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 1: goodness is I don't think this is going anywhere. And 454 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,919 Speaker 1: the three big things now they are focused on the 455 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 1: Democrats because they can't focus on the economy. They can't 456 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 1: focus on inflation, they can't focus on gas prices or 457 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 1: the border or Anistan, or they can't cite a single 458 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: thing that they've done that's been successful. So they're going 459 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,439 Speaker 1: to try and focus on abortion, guns and January sixth. 460 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 1: That that's their playbook. And then of course they'll always 461 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 1: add the usual Republicans or racist, sexist, misogynists, homophobic, blah 462 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: blah blah. That's that's always coming. And I think that 463 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: this is going to be it's the economy, stupid election. 464 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 1: It's your failure, your failed agenda election. That's what I 465 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: think it's gonna come down to. I don't think we're 466 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 1: gonna have to worry about it in the end because 467 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: I think Republicans and I think we take the House. 468 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: I think it's always rough when you have all of 469 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 1: these bellweather states that are that have Senate races, But 470 00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,680 Speaker 1: I think we could sweep the table and a way 471 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: of election, and I'm hoping for a way of election. 472 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: I agree it's gonna be a wave. If there isn't, 473 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: then something sumpnanigans one on. If it doesn't happen, Tom 474 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: appreciate it all. My best. Tell my buddy Billy Cunningham. 475 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: I said, Hi, Troy is in Colorado, Hey Troy, how 476 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 1: are you? Hey? Sean h Well, I gotta let me 477 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: of things to go over here. Let's let me start with. 478 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: You keep saying that everything's fixable and and preventable, But 479 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that's the word that you should be using. 480 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: The word that you should be using is intentional. There 481 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,680 Speaker 1: is no way you can govern this badly by accident. 482 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:15,360 Speaker 1: Is this is intentional and there's a I think it's 483 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: intentional by some, But then I think you have the 484 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: true believers. On the other hand, like I think there 485 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 1: are people that want high gas prices because quote that 486 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: will force America to find alternative sources of energy which 487 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 1: are non existent, the wind power, solar power, that these 488 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: technologies are not capable of taking over for the lifeblood 489 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 1: of the world's economy. It's not so. I think there 490 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: are people that know that but don't care because they 491 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,960 Speaker 1: want to advance that agenda because they're their cult members 492 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: and they've bought into this climate of alarmous crap. Go ahead, 493 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, m But I own a small trucking company 494 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 1: and finally got my dream of setting that up after 495 00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: driving driving trucks for thirty five years, and I and 496 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: everything that's going on. These people somehow sit around and 497 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 1: dream this stuff up and decide, let's let's raise the 498 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: minimum wage up to fifteen dollars an hour so that 499 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: people could live on it. And then they turn around 500 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: and they make every policy and procedure that is going 501 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: to make fifteen dollars an hour seem like three dollars 502 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 1: an hour because they're driving the price up on everything. 503 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: Nobody's looking at the big picture. We're going to be 504 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 1: out of food because the farmers aren't going to be 505 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 1: growing it, where the truckers aren't going to be able 506 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 1: to transport it. You've got high diesel fuel prices. Might 507 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 1: it's like I said, it's a small fleet, but we 508 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,200 Speaker 1: were doing ten thousand dollars a week in fuel not 509 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: that long ago, six months ago. Now we're doing fifteen 510 00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a week in fuel. But it gets passed 511 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 1: on to the consumer. I don't end up eating it 512 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: in the long run. I gotta I have to finance 513 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,960 Speaker 1: that debt because everything is accounts receivable. So even though 514 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: I raise my price, and you know, the fortunate have 515 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: been smart about my money and we're able to weather 516 00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: this gap. No, I'm just telling you that this is 517 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: now going to impact everybody in every way imaginable. And 518 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: thankfully you're able to raise your prices and you should 519 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: not make less money, especially in inflation every times, but 520 00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: you have no choice. All of that gets passed on 521 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 1: to the consumers. Just like when the Democrats attack corporations, 522 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: they really and they want to tax corporations. Corporations are 523 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: just going to raise their prices. Corporations do everything they 524 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 1: can do to avoid paying taxes. If they pay it, 525 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: they're going to pass the cost on to wead the people. 526 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: And that's what's ultimately going to happen, and that's where 527 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: the fallacy lies. But by the way, congratulations, you work 528 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 1: thirty five years now, you own your own business. You 529 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: worked hard for all of that to happen, and I 530 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,320 Speaker 1: really wish you all the best and success in it. Sir, 531 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I appreciate Sean. You have a 532 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: nice day, all right, my friend.
