Great to be 28 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: on the radio program today, and I'm hearing from people 29 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: all over the country about our conversation last night. Thanks 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 1: thanks for giving us a chance. The response was phenomenal, 31 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,760 Speaker 1: Honestly it was. And we get response every night, but 32 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: some nights, you know, my phone just explodes, and that 33 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: was the case last night, which is all a tribute 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: to you, because they weren't exploding. It wasn't exploding because 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm on, because I'm on every night. But you know, 36 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: so help me. God, Well, this is a part of 37 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: you that I don't that people don't know. That I 38 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: want people to know, not only in my life, but 39 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: in the life of many many people. I know. You 40 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: make the call when you know it's a hard time. 41 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: You make the call when people are under fire, You 42 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: make the call when there's a death in the family, 43 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: You make the call when an accident has happened, and 44 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,399 Speaker 1: you do it all day, every day, and have done 45 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: it for decades, and people I bet don't know that 46 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 1: about you. Well, you're very kind, and I thought you 47 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: were talking about so many Americans who've taken the oath 48 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: of office. You know. The title of the book comes 49 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: from the last words in my oath of office as 50 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: Vice President and to no less extent, when I was 51 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: governor and when I was for twelve years a fighting 52 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: conservative in the converse of the United States. It ends 53 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: with a prayer, so help me God, and it but 54 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: it's it's the same oath, as my Marine Corps son 55 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 1: reminded me one time during some difficult days a few 56 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: years ago, that it's the same oath he took. It's 57 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: the same oath all of our many women in uniform takes, Sean, 58 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: It's the same oath men and women who serve in 59 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: law enforcement and public safety all over the country takes. 60 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: So I'm humbled to be associated with those people. And 61 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: I love what the Bible says that Insave fifteen that 62 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: he keeps his oath even when it hurts, and I 63 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: have some experience with that I know, I know what 64 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: it means to have to stand in the gap and 65 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: keep your word. But I gave my word to the 66 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: American people. I gave my word to Almighty God, and 67 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: by God's grace, we worked every day to keep it well. 68 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: I don't think there's been a more successful administration, and 69 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: it was rooted on conservative principles. I describe conservatism simply. 70 00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: My audience knows my forty five second pitch on how 71 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: easy conservatism really is. You can break it down, but 72 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: you actually did, you know, spur economic growth. You did 73 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: lower taxes, you did bring energy independence back after seventy 74 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: five years, you did stop illegal immigration. Piece through strength 75 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: was clear and obvious. America's place in the world was dominant, 76 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: and people feared us rightly. So I think that's the 77 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: way it should be, not that we would ever abuse 78 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: that power or want to abuse that power, and I 79 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: think we've lost a lot of that, and I worry 80 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: about it. I'm happy the Republicans captured the House, but 81 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 1: I'd like to see Republicans in charge completely well, and 82 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 1: nobody summarizes it better than you, And I think one 83 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: of the things I appreciated about last night on television 84 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: was thank you for noticing that my autobiography is not 85 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,479 Speaker 1: only about my whole life, but it's it's been described 86 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 1: as maybe the most thorough defense of the record of 87 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: the Trump Pen's administration that's been written. It was, you know, 88 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: it's the greatest privilege of my life to be Vice 89 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: President of the United States in an administration that literally 90 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 1: rebuild our military, revived our economy, and gave Americans a 91 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: new beginning for life with a conservative majority on the 92 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: Supreme Court of the United States. Obviously, it didn't end well, 93 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: and I write candidly about those days and about how 94 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: the President and I found a way to part amicably. Nonetheless, 95 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:29,559 Speaker 1: but I hope that people that share our conservative values 96 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: around the country will we'll take time to look at 97 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: this book because I think, as I described the battles 98 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: for conservative values into Congress, our battles back home in Indiana, 99 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: lessons learned there, and then the extraordinary success of the 100 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: Trump Pens administration. My heart's desires that, so help me, God, 101 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: will we'll give people confidence and hope about the future. 102 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: We did it before, and we can do it all again. 103 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: And whenever those principles are applied, they work. It worked 104 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 1: for Reagan. It worked when New Kingdom became speaker, It 105 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: worked under the administration with you and President Trump. It 106 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: just works. These policies and principles, they're timeless, and they 107 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: can get us out of a lot of problems we're 108 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: now experiencing. I believe a lot of itself inflicted. You know, 109 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 1: you said some of them. I really believe that. I 110 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: mean it's I was asked earlier today if I had 111 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: any regrets, And my only regret is having to witness 112 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: the policies that we put into effect, you know, policies 113 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 1: that secured our border, that had America standing with our allies, 114 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: standing up to our enemies around the world. Saw historic 115 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: peace breakthrough in the Middle East, saw seven million jobs created, 116 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: an unemployment at a fifty year low, saw a new 117 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: beginning for the sanctity of life. Literally one policy after 118 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: another dismantled by an administration that seems intent on weakening 119 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 1: America at home and abroad every day. But but I 120 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: hope as people take a look at So help me 121 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: God it, it'll remind them of everything we were able 122 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: to do in such a short period of time, with 123 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: those two years of a Republican House and a Republican 124 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: Senate with voices like yours in the national debate out there, 125 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: given us the air cover. Sean, we made incredible progress 126 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: for this country. And I my desire is that the 127 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: story and so help me, God will give people hope 128 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: that that we can do it all again, and it'll 129 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: all come back faster than you could ever imagine. But 130 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: it's going to take that new leadership coming into the 131 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 1: House of Representatives, going to take a new Senate, going 132 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: to take new leadership in the White House. And I 133 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: believe it's all comming. Sewan, how do you explain what 134 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: happened on Tuesday, last week, one week ago today? And 135 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing, all right, Republicans won the House. 136 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: I'll be by a smaller majority than some anticipated. I 137 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: was warning people that not to be overly exuberant, and 138 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: they weren't listening, and only because every Senate race was 139 00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: a swing state. Bellweather State, very hard to win for Republicans. 140 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: But you know, there are certain things I can't explain. 141 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: Republicans never win. You know, the vote count that they 142 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: don't win by five million votes, and they did this time, 143 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: and yet they didn't win. They didn't win more races 144 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: that I'm having a hard time reconciling that it doesn't 145 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: make sense to me. And usually things I can figure 146 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: out and give a good explanation for, but that doesn't. 147 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: It's inexplicable somewhat to me. We well, first off, let 148 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: me you know me, Well, we haven't known each other 149 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 1: for thirty years. I'm a glass is half full guy. 150 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: I mean, look, a win is a win. I was 151 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,719 Speaker 1: there the last time we fired Nancy Pelosi, and I'll 152 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: tell you the day she hands that gavel to Kevin 153 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: McCarthy as the new Speaker of the House, it's going 154 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: to be a great day for America. But I hear 155 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: the disappointment of so many around the country that we 156 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: didn't do even better in the House, that we didn't 157 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 1: win the Senate and win some key governorships around the 158 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: country where we had extraordinary candidates like like lez Alden 159 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 1: and Christine Dreysen and Oregon and Mark Rumketty in New Mexico. 160 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: And for me, one of the enduring lessons of the 161 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: election was that elections are about the future, and the 162 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: candidates that we that we put forward that were truly 163 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: focused on the future, on the challenges facing the American 164 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 1: people today, which record record inflation and crisis at our border, 165 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 1: and gasoline prices through the roof, and crime in our 166 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: major cities. The candidates that focused on the challenges today 167 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: and solutions for the future did well that the candidates 168 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: that we're looking back, candidates that were focused on the 169 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: past and relitigating the past, didn't do as well. And 170 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,199 Speaker 1: so I think it's a It is a reminder to 171 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 1: us that, you know, the American people want to see 172 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 1: men and women in public life that are truly focused, 173 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: where they're focused on the needs of their family, the 174 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: challenges that they're facing, and the opportunities that we have 175 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: to put those same principles of the Trump Pens administration 176 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: back into policy at every level for a boundless American future. 177 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: It really is out there. You can smell it, you 178 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: can feel it, you can taste it. And we did 179 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: it before, we'll do it again. I mean, America has 180 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: had you know, we went through a civil war, a 181 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: revolutionary war, we went through two World Wars. My dad 182 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: fought in World War Two, and we went through nine 183 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: to eleven a depression. I mean, I can mention all 184 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: sorts of things that we've gone through as a country. 185 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: And we always come out on the other side. One 186 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: thing that I'm looking at, though, I'm seeing a country 187 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 1: more divided and philosophically than I've ever seen. I mean, 188 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 1: I look at, for example, Raphael Warnock, I look at 189 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: John Fetterman, I look at Mandela Barnes as the three 190 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: most extreme candidates that I've ever covered in my lifetime. 191 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: Usually Democrats, if they had radical views, they kept it 192 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: to themselves, and that's why they would often try to 193 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: pack the courts or use the courts to legislator from 194 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: the bench. Now they're just out there with these views. 195 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: How do we reconcile capitalism versus socialism? How do you 196 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: reconcile energy and dependence with no domestic energy production. How 197 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: do you reconcile defund dismantle the police, no bail laws 198 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: with law and order and safety and security. How do 199 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: you how do you reconcile woke education versus classical education, reading, writing, maths, science, history, 200 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: and computers? Because I see the divide has never been 201 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 1: this big. Well, look, I think our politics are more 202 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: divided than at any time in my lifetime. But I'm 203 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: not convinced the American people are as divided as our politics. 204 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: I mean, as I've traveled around the country, having returned 205 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: home to Indiana now almost two years ago, I'm more 206 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: convinced than ever that there's more the unsis in this 207 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: country than could ever divide us. And chief among those 208 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 1: things is our faith, our dedication to family, our belief 209 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: in freedom. And I think now we have the opportunity 210 00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: to step forward and articulate a vision for the American 211 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: people that will unite us around those timeless American ideals. 212 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: But I think I think it's going to take It's 213 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 1: going to take us producing candidates at every level that 214 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll do that will focus on those issues 215 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: and appeal to those core values of the American people 216 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: who new and in renewed ways we do that, not 217 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 1: only will not only will Republicans win, but we'll win 218 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: the future for every American. I also believe that pain 219 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 1: is a great awakener. And I think at some point 220 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: when Americans get sick and tired of record high inflation 221 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: and record high gas prices and wide open borders and 222 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: you know, record high crime rates, I think at some 223 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: point as a tipping point and they say this just 224 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: isn't working anymore, you know, it it sounded great, defund, dismantle, 225 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: reimagine the police, but having men and women willing to 226 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,320 Speaker 1: put their lives on the line and protecting our cities 227 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: in small towns, there's no better solution than that. That's right, 228 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 1: that's right. Look, I think the American people know what 229 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: makes this country strong and secure and prosperous. We just 230 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: got to have government as good as our people again. 231 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: And as I've said to you before, I think I 232 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: think that in the days ahead, we need to not 233 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: only stand strong on common sense conservative principles, which you've 234 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: done every day of your broadcast life and I've sought 235 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: to do, and it's a chronicle in my book, so 236 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: help me God, but also I think I think we 237 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: need to begin to articulate those in ways that unite 238 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: the American people around our highest ideals that we you know, 239 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: you get outside of politics show, and the people in 240 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: this country actually get along pretty well. I mean, it's 241 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: you know, I'm back to shop. You haven't been out 242 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: with me lately, you have. The country hates me, so, 243 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 1: but that's a different story. We'll take a poll on me. 244 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: You'll find the same thing as true. But I don't 245 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: want to pull on any of us. I'll ask you this, 246 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: people in this country can come together around our highest ideals, 247 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: and we speak to those. We'll speak to the future. Right, 248 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: miss the Vice President, If you could stay a few 249 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: more moment and one more question, I really want this 250 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,800 Speaker 1: audience to hear this part of the book that you 251 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: describe a private meeting that you had towards the end 252 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: of the administration with the President.

But there's one part of 322 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: that that intrigues me the most, and that is when 323 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: all was said and done, and you know, after you 324 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,040 Speaker 1: went through this tough period, because I would argue, you know, 325 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 1: up until the election of November twenty twenty, you worked 326 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: as a phenomenal team. That's what I saw, and I 327 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: know both you and President Trump for thirty years, but 328 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: there was a private meeting between the two of you. 329 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: You discuss it in the book, and I think it's 330 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: very insightful. You want to tell us about it, you bet, 331 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: And first let me just let me just affirm what 332 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: you just said. Look, for four and a half years, 333 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 1: I was always loyal to President Donald Trump. He was 334 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: not only my president, he was my friend. And whenever 335 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: we had disagreements, I kept them in private, and I 336 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: supported the president as policies without fail. My only higher 337 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: loyalty was to God in the Constitution, and that's what 338 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 1: caused the clash, the confrontation on the tragic day in January. 339 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: But to your point, in the roughly five days after that, 340 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 1: the President asked for an opportunity to meet with me. 341 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: He'd already said all the right things. He'd condemned the violence, 342 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: committed to a peaceful transfer of power, and in fact 343 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 1: took time to address the nation and called for unity 344 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: in America. And I went down to the Oval office. 345 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: I couldn't help but think of that Bible verse that 346 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: it says to be quick to listen, slow to speak, 347 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 1: slow to become angry, but it was easier said than 348 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 1: done because I was angry, Sean. I was angry at 349 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,199 Speaker 1: what had happened. I was angry at many of the 350 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 1: President's words at actions. But I wanted to hear him out, 351 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 1: and I went down to the Oval office, walked back 352 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: to that small dining room, and there we spoke, and 353 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: the President an express concern for my wife and daughter. 354 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,480 Speaker 1: I told him they were fine. I was candid with 355 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: him and direct about my feelings about that day, but 356 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 1: I also encouraged him to pray. The Presidents told me 357 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: many times that he's a believer, and I also told 358 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 1: him that I was praying for him. And in another meeting, 359 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: you know, he reflected I think a genuine sadness about 360 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: what had happened. I thought the President was genuinely remorseful 361 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: about what had occurred, not just with regard to me, 362 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: but at the Capitol itself. And when I was leaving 363 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: after a meeting a few days later, I told him 364 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: I told him I was praying for him again, and 365 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: he immediately was dismissive about it. But as I was 366 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,120 Speaker 1: leaving the room, I looked at him as he sat 367 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: at the end of the table, and I said well, 368 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: I guess there's two things we're probably always going to 369 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: disagree on. And he looked up wearily and said what, 370 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: And I said, referring to our disagreement over my role 371 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: on January sixth, And then I said, I'm also never 372 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,959 Speaker 1: going to stop praying for you. And he smiled faintly 373 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: and looked at me and said, that's right. Don't ever change. 374 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: And it was on that foundation that we parted amicably, 375 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 1: and for several months there after we spoke. We spoke 376 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 1: every few weeks over the phone, but candidly, Sean, when 377 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 1: he returned to some of the same rhetoric being critical 378 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 1: of me and others who had done our duty under 379 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 1: the Constitution that day, I thought it best for us 380 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: to go our separate ways. But I'll always be proud 381 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: of the record of our administration, and I'll always keep 382 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 1: that promise to pray for our president and always be 383 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: grateful to have been a part of what together we 384 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,239 Speaker 1: did for the American people. Mister Vice President at we 385 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: appreciate the time that you have given the show. As always, 386 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: you're always welcome on these airwaves. Mike Pence, former Vice 387 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: President Pence. His new book is out. It's called, so 388 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: help me God. It's in bookstores all across the country. 389 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,680 Speaker 1: It's on Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com and definitely 390 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: worth a read. And you are who you say you are. 391 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: You always have been, and you've been very kind to 392 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: me throughout all the years that I've known you. And 393 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: we love having you on the program. And we'll talk soon. 394 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: Thank you, Sean, God bless you, God bless you. Eight 395 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 1: hundred ninety four one, Sean. If you want to be 396 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: a part of the program, all right, let's get to 397 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: our busy phones as we say Hi to Craig Is 398 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 1: in New York. Craig, Hi, how are you glad you called? 399 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: How are you doing? Sean? Yeah, I was just wondering, 400 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: and I was hoping that maybe you could sit down. 401 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: You talked to a lot of the senators. Maybe you 402 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 1: could sit down with a couple of the senators and 403 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: ask them to go over and talk to Mansion. Now 404 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 1: is a perfect time. He's mad about not getting the pipeline. 405 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: He's mad about how they stabbed him in the back. 406 00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: Maybe they could bring him over to the Republican Party 407 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,040 Speaker 1: and they could put enough money behind the Walker in 408 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: order to push that race toward the Republicans, and that 409 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: would kill the Democrats. They'd be jumping out windows. They 410 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: would make like Fourth of July look like a kid 411 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: forward a firecracker. It would be the greatest thing in 412 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: the world if they could do something like that. Is 413 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: there any chance that you could talk to them about that? Listen, 414 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 1: The answer is, I think it's more viable than it's 415 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: ever been. Number One, Mansion is coming up for reelection. 416 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,680 Speaker 1: I believe it in the next cycle. Number two. When 417 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: he was when he was standing up to Biden and 418 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: the radical socialist Democrats, he was never more popular in 419 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 1: his home state of West Virginia. When he gave in 420 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: on the tax the rich, I'm sorry, tax the poor, 421 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: tax the middle class, and tax people on fixed income 422 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act, his approval ratings plummeted. You know, at 423 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,919 Speaker 1: the end of this recent campaign cycle, Joe Biden came 424 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: out and said, we're done with Cole Well. That destroys 425 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: the ecomy of Joe Mansion state. No one's building new 426 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: coal plants because they can't rely on it, even if 427 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of 428 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: the existence of the plan. So it's going to become 429 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: a wind generation. Now, all they're doing is going to 430 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 1: save them a hell of a lot of money and 431 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,440 Speaker 1: using the same transmission line that transmit as a coal 432 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: fire electric on We're going to be shutting these plants 433 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: down all across America. And Joe Mansion was livid about 434 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: the comments. Then then Biden went even further and said 435 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: he's going to end all drilling in America. No more drilling. 436 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: There is no more drilling. I haven't got formed any 437 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: new new drilling, no Indian that was before I was president. 438 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: We're trying to work on that, get that done, which means, 439 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 1: you know, it's a disaster because we're all going to 440 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: be paying massive rates for the life blood of the 441 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: world's economy, our own economy, and ignore our very own 442 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: resources here at home, and ignore the fact that we 443 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 1: do a cleaner, faster and cheaper. So is there an opportunity? 444 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: And one other thing, he was promised something when he 445 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:17,719 Speaker 1: went along with Schumer and Biden. He was promised the pipeline. 446 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 1: That pipeline was to benefit the people of West Virginia. 447 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: That pipeline is never going to happen. And so they 448 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 1: offered something that they didn't deliver on, and I think, 449 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: if I'm Joe Mansion, I am apoplectic at all of it, 450 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,439 Speaker 1: and I think, what, He's probably gonna wait for the 451 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 1: results out of Georgia. This is why this race with 452 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: herschel Walker is critical. I mean because if with fifty 453 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 1: fifty Joe Mansion and walk into the Oval office, you know, 454 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: invite Chuck Schumer to come in with him and say, 455 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: you guys didn't keep your word. You guys lied to me. Joe, 456 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 1: You're now the enemy of the economy of my state, 457 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: and I'm leaving this party. I'll see you later and 458 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: then walk out. And he could do that in two 459 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,960 Speaker 1: seconds and say I'm going to go announce and hold 460 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,399 Speaker 1: the press conference that I am switching parties and I 461 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: am leaving your party. And you pushed me out, both 462 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: of you because you're dishonest. You lie to me, and 463 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:17,160 Speaker 1: you lie to the people of my state. And I'm 464 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 1: not going to take it anymore. That's what I do. Anyway. 465 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: Appreciate you being with us, Dan in Arizona. Dan, how 466 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,239 Speaker 1: are you glad you're with us? Hey, Sean, It's an 467 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: honor to talk to you, listen to every day. I'm 468 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 1: seven year old, fifty seven year old truck driver and 469 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: Arizona native, independent Conservative, and I'm just totally upset, dismayed, 470 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: and angry with everything that's been going on here in Arizona. 471 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: I remember Arizona when it was a conservative state. We've 472 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 1: had an influx of California's coming in here with their 473 00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: politics and people from who knows where else with their politics, 474 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: and this state isn't what it used to be. And 475 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: I'm upset at the voters that they didn't pay attention to. 476 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: We've got illegals being dropped off in our street. We've 477 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: got drug cartel members having shootouts on I ten. We've 478 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: got home invasions, we've got car theft, you know, We've 479 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: had all kinds of stuff. I live in a little 480 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: bedroom community out of Phoenix, Kalawatuki. They've dropped busloads of 481 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: illegals off at hotels out there, and nobody seems to 482 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: remember this stuff, and they voted Democrats in. We have 483 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: an element of society that gets their news blurbs off 484 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 1: these little five second things off of CNN and MSNBC. 485 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: They're not getting the full story from Fox News or 486 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: other conservative reporters, and it's just frustrating to me to 487 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: sit back and see this happening. Now we're blessed with 488 00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: a trifecta of ignorance and incompetence. Katie Hobbs Governor, Mark 489 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: Kelley Senator, and Joe Biden President that there's an optimistic message. Look, 490 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: I wish I could tell you that these issues are 491 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: going to be resolved or not. You know what, what 492 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 1: what the Republicans now can do with the majority in 493 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: the House can't be understated though, and this will help 494 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: a lot um because they can now challenge may Orchis 495 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 1: on the issues. I mean, you're not going to impeach 496 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,639 Speaker 1: him because the Democrats, you know, even you know with 497 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: the fifty fifty center, it's going to be impossible. However, 498 00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: they can now they have the investigative subpoena power to 499 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 1: get to the bottom of how it is this administration 500 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: is not enforcing the laws of the land. And not 501 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: only that, they're offering preferential treatment to illegal immigrants. Uh, 502 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 1: they are violating the law, not enforcing. You know, a 503 00:28:55,720 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: sanctuary states, sanctuary city by its very nature isolation of 504 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: our laws. It's you know, you're not allowed to enter 505 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: this country illegally. It's illegal, you know, that's it. It's simple. 506 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: But anyway, and then of course you have the human 507 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,720 Speaker 1: trafficking aspect of it. You know, you come in, you 508 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:16,840 Speaker 1: get no COVID checks, you get you get no background check, 509 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 1: you get a free Biden phone. Then you get free 510 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: transportation to any one of the you know, forty eight 511 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: states in the continental US, and that system Joe plans 512 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: to continue, but it's got to be stopped. And the 513 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: way I think it's going to happen is I think 514 00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: that all these people now are going to be called 515 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: in and held accountable, and I think that the hearings 516 00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: rightfully will expose this for what it is, and that 517 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: is institutionalizing lawbreaking. And I think there's going to be 518 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,000 Speaker 1: great power there for the Republicans with this majority now 519 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: in the House, and I'm glad that they have it. 520 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,640 Speaker 1: That's why, you know, for those people that are disappointed 521 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: that a lot of these swing states didn't go to the 522 00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: the Republicans way, I'm sure I would have preferred to 523 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: go that they go the other way. Um. The only 524 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: I can say is I knew at the beginning of 525 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: this election cycle that these were all bellweather swing states 526 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: and none of them were going to be easy to win. So, um, 527 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: you got to you gotta take your wins where you 528 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: can get them and then hold these people accountable. And 529 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: I think now the House is going to goad headstrong 530 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: right into all of these issues. The power to subpoena, 531 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 1: the power of the purse of the two biggest weapons 532 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: that the Republicans have in the House, and I would 533 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: anticipate that they're going to use it, and so that 534 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: that is that's good for the country because we need 535 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: to resolve these issues. Um anyway, I listen, I wish 536 00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: I had better words. How are you doing in your 537 00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: trucking business? By the way, I'm worried about all you 538 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: guys and the price you're paying for diesel if you 539 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: can even find the diesel. U. There is a shortage 540 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: now nationwide that is getting scary. We're starting to feel 541 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: the pinch because the housing is flowing down and I 542 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: hauled construction equipment. So it's starting to put the kabash 543 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: on us a little bit with the interest rates going 544 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: up on housing. Listen, what did I say would happened? 545 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: And I predicted it over a year ago. I said, 546 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,160 Speaker 1: watch what happens? New home construction will come to a 547 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: screeching halt. The next step, the next shoot to drop, 548 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 1: is going to be sales of pre existing homes that'll 549 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: come to a screeching halt. That has now happened except 550 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: for some there are some exceptions and states that have 551 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: you know, all these this mass migration I keep talking about, 552 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: or accelerated migration, people leaving blue states that are conservative 553 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: and moving the red states they will fare so much better. 554 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 1: And home prices have plummeted, and we've lost billions of 555 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 1: dollars in valuations for people's homes which end up being 556 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 1: their biggest investment. And add that to the bad stock market, 557 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: and it's not good. Yep. Anyway, I appreciate the call. Listen, 558 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,800 Speaker 1: thanks for what you do. Also, I mean it's now 559 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: do you do you have an eighteen wheeler or flap ed? 560 00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: What do you got eighty wheeler? And I also have 561 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: a big big low boy for Paula. I can gross 562 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: out anywhere from eighty to one hundred and twenty five thousand. 563 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: So I know people in the trucking business that have 564 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: decided to sit it out until the business gets better 565 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: and it becomes more profitable. And it's sad to see, 566 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:26,240 Speaker 1: but supplying demand. Now, well, we'll drive up the prices 567 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 1: of what you guys can charge. You cannot absorb the 568 00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 1: high cost, especially independent operators, the high cost of diesel 569 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: and do routes and not make any money. And if 570 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 1: people are not making money, they're not going to stay 571 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,000 Speaker 1: in business, that munch I can tell you.
