Speaker 1: You're listening to the Buck Sexton Show podcast, make sure
Speaker 1: you subscribe to the podcast on the iHeart Radio app
Speaker 1: or wherever you get your podcasts. Earlier today, in Jerusalem,
Speaker 1: President Biden put her on on notice about its nuclear
Speaker 1: ambitions during a joint news conference. Well it is really
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Yea or Lapide. But despite the tough talk,
Speaker 1: the President is simultaneously trying to revive the Obama era
Speaker 1: nuclear deal that has caused a lot of friction with
Speaker 1: America's closest ally Israel. So what else will unfold during
Speaker 1: Biden's Middle East trip? I'll discuss and tonight's holding one.
Speaker 1: We mean what we say as we mean what we say.
Speaker 1: They have an opportunity to accept disagreement has been laid down.
Speaker 1: If they don't, maybe it absolutely clear. We will not
Speaker 1: be said again, we will not allow Ran to acquire
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon. Welcome all the line on buck Sexton.
Speaker 1: Joe Biden saying in no uncertain terms there that in
Speaker 1: a nuclear Iran is a totally unacceptable state. But what
Speaker 1: does that mean? What is this Biden regime that has
Speaker 1: really set new records of incompetence, that has no political
Speaker 1: capital to spend even among Democrat voters these days. That
Speaker 1: is completely plummeting in the polls, that has shown no
Speaker 1: capability at home or abroad to improve on or anything.
Speaker 1: How seriously will the mullah's take Biden's word on this?
Speaker 1: Did they listen to the words of a commander in
Speaker 1: chief who seems too old, who seems feeble, who seems
Speaker 1: befuddled and foggy at par too many times? Did they
Speaker 1: hear that and say, yeah, you know, we're going to
Speaker 1: change our policies here, We're gonna divert away from what
Speaker 1: seems to be a serious effort here to reach full
Speaker 1: nuclear breakout capability. Well, the Israeli Prime Minister Pain told
Speaker 1: Biden they get tougher run around because He's like, look,
Speaker 1: words alone aren't going to be enough. Words will not
Speaker 1: stop them, mister President. Diplomacy will not stop them. The
Speaker 1: only thing that will stop I run is knowing that
Speaker 1: if they continue to develop their nuclear program, the free
Speaker 1: world will use force. The only way to stop them
Speaker 1: is to put a credible military threat on the table.
Speaker 1: You have said many times, mister President, that big countries
Speaker 1: do not bluff. I completely agree. It should not be
Speaker 1: a bluff. But the real thing the Iranian regime must
Speaker 1: know that if they continue to deceive the world, they
Speaker 1: will pay a heavy price. That price, it seems, would be,
Speaker 1: at a minimum, military airstrike against the running facilities if
Speaker 1: they continue on this pathway. Because economic pressure may not
Speaker 1: be enough, the US and Israel did put out this
Speaker 1: joint declaration. The United States stresses that integral to this
Speaker 1: pledge is the commitment never to allow Iran to acquire
Speaker 1: a nuclear weapon, and that it is prepared to use
Speaker 1: all elements of its national power to ensure that outcome. Again,
Speaker 1: words that seem strong on this issue, but not particularly specific,
Speaker 1: and that then leads us to why Joe Biden is
Speaker 1: on the issue of foreign policy, a president that nobody
Speaker 1: can really put stock in. You'll recall that in two
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, when Barack Obama was the Democrat nominee,
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was a third tier candidate in that election.
Speaker 1: He got a very small percentage of the actual vote
Speaker 1: and was generally a joke alongside people like Dennis Cucinage,
Speaker 1: but he was added to the Obama ticket specifically. Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was at it specifically because of his foreign policy acumen, right,
Speaker 1: the ability that Joe Biden would bring to the Obama
Speaker 1: White House to understand the complex foreign policy issues of
Speaker 1: the day. And then you can fast forward in your
Speaker 1: head through eight years of an Obama regime that was
Speaker 1: on the foreign policy side, a total disaster. You had
Speaker 1: the Syrian Civil War breakout. Obama kept saying that we
Speaker 1: would lead on that issue and we would stop the violence.
Speaker 1: Were more than half a million people died in that conflict.
Speaker 1: It also coincided with the rise of the Islamic State,
Speaker 1: which happened after Obama pulled troops out of Iraq, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we had a security vacuum in
Speaker 1: that country, a sudden security vacuum that was filled by
Speaker 1: Isis lunatics who managed to seize control of a few,
Speaker 1: well a large portion of that country and a few
Speaker 1: million people who fell under the reign of that terror regime.
Speaker 1: The toppling of the Kadafi government in Libya led by
Speaker 1: people like Hillary Clinton, Obama's then secretary of State, and
Speaker 1: then eventually we all know what happened in the e
Speaker 1: Benghazi debacle. But you look across the board, whether it's Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Syria, China,
Speaker 1: policy and for eight years while Biden was one of
Speaker 1: the primary voices and supposedly one of the main architects
Speaker 1: of the Obama administration's foreign policy, it all was a mess.
Speaker 1: It just showed a total lack of strategic thinking and understanding.
Speaker 1: And so why would we believe anything would be better
Speaker 1: now that now that Biden and not Obama is running
Speaker 1: the show, is the commander in chief. We know that
Speaker 1: there was this deeply flawed irandeal signed assigned by the
Speaker 1: Obama administration in which it was pretty clear that Obama mortgaged,
Speaker 1: if you will, sold out the rest of his foreign
Speaker 1: policy goals in the Middle East. No peace process progress,
Speaker 1: for example, not even the start of a failed peace
Speaker 1: process under the Obama administration. But it was also they
Speaker 1: get this Iran deal. But the Iran deal just allowed
Speaker 1: for Iran to get a lot wealthier and to integrate
Speaker 1: itself into the global financial community and not have to
Speaker 1: actually submit itself to the full scale across the board
Speaker 1: inspections of everything, including including military facilities, and never really
Speaker 1: eliminated its ability to get to that eventual breakout. Range.
Speaker 1: Didn't stop the Iran deal. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Speaker 1: Action they called. It didn't stop them from developing ballistic
Speaker 1: missile capability, it didn't deal with Iranian support for terrorist
Speaker 1: groups all across the region. And so the Trump administration
Speaker 1: came in and said this is nonsense. We're just going
Speaker 1: to put a lot of pressure on Iran again that
Speaker 1: they stopped this crap. Now the Biden administrations in office,
Speaker 1: and they're trying to get a nuclear deal, and here's
Speaker 1: Biden just this week saying they won't wait forever for
Speaker 1: that deal. Watch. We've laid out for the people, for
Speaker 1: the leadership of Iran what we're willing to accept. No, no,
Speaker 1: to get back into JCPOA. We're waiting for the response
Speaker 1: when that occurred. When that will come, I'm not certain,
Speaker 1: but we are not going to wait forever. We're not
Speaker 1: going to wait forever or what I mean. You can
Speaker 1: almost imagine the mullah's asking that question out about what
Speaker 1: exactly is Joe Biden going to do? What evidence is
Speaker 1: there that Joe Biden is a force to be reckoned
Speaker 1: with as a foreign policy mind and as commander in
Speaker 1: chief now of the United States. Not much right, not
Speaker 1: much of anything. It's pretty shocking when you see this
Speaker 1: continue to play out Joe Biden. It's it's reckless that
Speaker 1: he has done so much damage to our economy and
Speaker 1: has been so incompetent as president, forcing mask and vaccine
Speaker 1: mandates on people. All this idiocy, But when you see
Speaker 1: the global issues that Biden is actually facing. We already
Speaker 1: have a war in Europe that seems to have no
Speaker 1: end in sight. The Obama industrate, I'm sorry, the Biden
Speaker 1: administration has deeply mismanaged that. And now we have the
Speaker 1: possibility of a nuclear Iran on Biden's watch, and maybe
Speaker 1: a Chinese invasion of Taiwan too. All these things could happen.
Speaker 1: And if you're our enemies, if you're the bad guys,
Speaker 1: what better time than now while you have the confused,
Speaker 1: doddering fool Joe Biden in the White House, we'll have
Speaker 1: more on his trip to than at the least with
Speaker 1: former White House Deputy National Security Advisor Steve Yates coming
Speaker 1: up at first, let's off've got the newest sponsor to
Speaker 1: hold the line off grid. Panama A lot even worried
Speaker 1: about the reported food shortages and power outages headed our way.
Speaker 1: You're not alone. If you look at the skyrocket and
Speaker 1: cost of energy and food prices going through the roof.
Speaker 1: We're certainly heading in the wrong direction. Many are choosing
Speaker 1: to go off grid. When you think of going off grid,
Speaker 1: you think of living in the mountains, somewhere away from
Speaker 1: civil right. But there's actually a safe option for going
Speaker 1: totally off grid in Panama, Central America. A modern home
Speaker 1: starts at only one hundred thousand dollars. These homes are
Speaker 1: fully set up on a self sustaining farm, with all
Speaker 1: of your needs met right on the property. Panama offers
Speaker 1: a stable government, cost effective, high quality medical care, and
Speaker 1: a fantastic climate. There are only twenty four homes being
Speaker 1: offered in the community, so reach out to them quickly
Speaker 1: at off grid Panama dot com or call them now
Speaker 1: at nine oh four two three six four seven three seven.
Speaker 1: Again that's off grid Panama dot com or nine zero
Speaker 1: four two three six four seven three seven. Be patient,
Speaker 1: leave the message. We think that's going to set out quickly.
Speaker 1: They'll call everyone back though within twenty four hours we'll
Speaker 1: be right back with more. Hold the line. While on
Speaker 1: is Middle East trip, President Biden is trying to reassure
Speaker 1: leaders that two things can be true at the same time.
Speaker 1: The United States can pursue a new nuclear deal with Iran,
Speaker 1: and can also use military force as a last resort
Speaker 1: to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. So which is it?
Speaker 1: Let's ask a senior fellow of the America First Policy
Speaker 1: Institute and former White House Deputy National Security Advisor Dvates.
Speaker 1: Do you good to see you? Good to see you, Buck?
Speaker 1: Thank you. Let's start with the Iran equation here. There
Speaker 1: were some moments, for example, when Biden was in Israel
Speaker 1: where he said just earlier this week, the US will
Speaker 1: use force as a last resort. Watch this one in
Speaker 1: the past, that you'll do anything, and you say it again,
Speaker 1: that you'll ensure Iran would not acquire nuclear weapons. Does
Speaker 1: that also mean, sir, that you would use force against Iran?
Speaker 1: Is that what that means if I was the last resort? Yes,
Speaker 1: So do you think one he means that? And to
Speaker 1: how worried are you we're going to get to that point? Well,
Speaker 1: it's something that you concern everyone if we should we
Speaker 1: should get to that kind of a point. I mean,
Speaker 1: we've as a nation had somewhat of our fill of
Speaker 1: protracted and dangerous wars in the broader Middle East, and
Speaker 1: that certainly would be quite a dramatic development. I think
Speaker 1: we have to take a step back when President Biden
Speaker 1: is speaking. I wish it weren't so, but we never
Speaker 1: quite know when the president declares a policy whether he's
Speaker 1: actually setting it or whether a member of his staff
Speaker 1: is going to call for a cleanup on Aisle four
Speaker 1: and try to say this is what the president meant.
Speaker 1: But in the broader Middle East, as you know very well,
Speaker 1: these words will carry a lot of weight, will reverberate,
Speaker 1: and really, if he was serious about trying to avoid
Speaker 1: that outcome, he would have embraced, rather than somewhat marginalized,
Speaker 1: the Abraham Accords, and he would have embraced the maximum
Speaker 1: pressure policy rather than going back to the tried and
Speaker 1: true appeasement which has led to this potential nuclear breakout.
Speaker 1: And also just can he tell everybody, Stephen, what is
Speaker 1: going on with regard to the Iranian nuclear program right now?
Speaker 1: There was a headline a couple of days ago, I
Speaker 1: think it was from Reuters that at fordaw the Iranians
Speaker 1: have enriched uranium again. They have or are enriching it again,
Speaker 1: taken up to twenty percent that got new and their
Speaker 1: best centrifuges spinning in a highly fortified facility, So what's
Speaker 1: going on there? Well, even the Biden administration's top envoy
Speaker 1: was somewhat sadly admitting that the Iranians are much closer
Speaker 1: to a breakout point in the year and a half
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration than they were before under the
Speaker 1: maximum pressure policies of the previous administration used to be
Speaker 1: there are estimates of weeks or months for them to
Speaker 1: be able to reach the dangerous threshold, but they're now
Speaker 1: enriching uranium up to a percentage point where experts say
Speaker 1: it could be really just a matter of a day
Speaker 1: or two, the equivalent of flipping a switch. That's pretty shocking,
Speaker 1: and that was coming from a negotiator that has already
Speaker 1: tried to give them all kinds of benefits to induce
Speaker 1: them back into an agreement. I mean, Stephen, is this
Speaker 1: going to a place where you know, up to this
Speaker 1: point there's been this sense of status quo, means Iran
Speaker 1: could go toward a nuclear repon at some point. There's
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of negotiation, but it's not necessarily
Speaker 1: going to happen. Are we heading toward Iran's getting the nukes,
Speaker 1: or Iran's going to suffer through massive air strikes to
Speaker 1: stop them from getting the nukes. I mean, are we
Speaker 1: on is that the trajector right now? Or is the
Speaker 1: third way still possible? Well, I think that there are
Speaker 1: some alternatives that are possible, And first and foremost, I
Speaker 1: think the biggest mistake would be for the President or
Speaker 1: anyone else to lead us into a one on one
Speaker 1: situation with the run. We have some substantial allies in
Speaker 1: the region that have skin in this game, and in
Speaker 1: some ways we should allow them to step up and
Speaker 1: play their role. We we know for sure that Israel
Speaker 1: is quite concerned and would probably be willing and able
Speaker 1: to act independently if it got to nuclear breakout territory
Speaker 1: any but the Saudis have a pretty deep vested interest,
Speaker 1: and one of the key parts of this trip was
Speaker 1: supposedly applying some good traditional realism to American foreign policy
Speaker 1: in engaging the largest, most capable ally in the region
Speaker 1: to balance and deter the Iranians. And this focus can't
Speaker 1: just be in the nuclear program. It has to be
Speaker 1: on the leadership, and they're building a stronger balance of
Speaker 1: power against Iran. That's what was lost when the Biden
Speaker 1: team minimized or sort of brushed aside, the Abraham Accords approach.
Speaker 1: So there's also, of course, the Saudi situation. Biden is
Speaker 1: heading the Saudi Arabia to advance the US interests their
Speaker 1: energy security a huge part of this, but also a
Speaker 1: lot of conversation around how when Trump was in office,
Speaker 1: Jamal Kashogi human rights that became the huge focus. And
Speaker 1: right now Biden's going over to the Saudis to say, hey,
Speaker 1: can you pump some more oil? Is he going to
Speaker 1: address the Kashogi issue. We'll get to that second, But
Speaker 1: first off, he says he will send a direct message
Speaker 1: of Saudi's peace and extraordinary opportunities. Watch this one, and
Speaker 1: when I see the Saudi leadership tomorrow, I'll be carrying
Speaker 1: a direct message message of peace and extraordinary opportunities that
Speaker 1: a more stable and integrated region could bring to the
Speaker 1: region and quite frankly, the whole world. Now, there are
Speaker 1: some points of optimism here in the Saudi relationship with
Speaker 1: the US ally Israel. Right now you're going to have
Speaker 1: the Saudi's allowing even more flights in the Saudi airspace.
Speaker 1: They're moving toward total normalization of relations. But it's interesting
Speaker 1: because that really got going under Biden's predecessor, didn't it.
Speaker 1: It did, And frankly, it's being driven by countries and
Speaker 1: leaders in the region. In some ways, that's a healthy development.
Speaker 1: People tried to say the Trump administration was isolationist or
Speaker 1: was bad towards alliances. It was quite the opposite, having
Speaker 1: allies being willing and able to step up and shape
Speaker 1: their own regions and engage in collective self defense and deterrence.
Speaker 1: That minimizes the need for the United States that has
Speaker 1: stepped in in a time of emergency. That's good for
Speaker 1: the United States, it's good for the alliances, and it's
Speaker 1: good for those countries in the region. And it's really
Speaker 1: been this pathology that tries to drag us back into
Speaker 1: the grievances of the Palestinians may have or an overly
Speaker 1: narrow focus on a few issues, and when people want
Speaker 1: to talk about human rights, I don't really take any
Speaker 1: of them seriously. If they're okay with a president engaging
Speaker 1: a leader of China where there's an admitted international genocide,
Speaker 1: the crushing of Hong Kong and threatening of neighbors by
Speaker 1: a nuclear power. If you don't talk about these issues
Speaker 1: with regard to engagement there. Then there's got to be
Speaker 1: space in the engagement of Saudi Arabia to do real
Speaker 1: things to try to bottle up Iran and advance American
Speaker 1: interests without having to enter another war. As overseas, he
Speaker 1: has also been speaking about the US relationship with Ukraine
Speaker 1: and the Russian invasion of that country. Seems the bid
Speaker 1: administration policy where he says out loud that it's whatever
Speaker 1: it takes, as long as it takes to defeat Russia.
Speaker 1: We just sent them some more advanced long range rocket systems.
Speaker 1: Where do you think that's going, Steve Well sadly, it
Speaker 1: just seems to be in a long term slow burn,
Speaker 1: and we just empirically, you have to acknowledge that the
Speaker 1: territory of Ukraine has been there's a significant percentage that
Speaker 1: has been lost to Russia in this conflict so far,
Speaker 1: and there's no real terms on the table for that.
Speaker 1: Going another way, we also have become very out of
Speaker 1: balance in terms of Americans chipping in another billion dollars here,
Speaker 1: another billion dollars there, and the Europeans collectively are giving
Speaker 1: much much less, and so we really need to get
Speaker 1: back to a healthier approach, pressing the Europeans to step
Speaker 1: up and take care of other Europeans because apparently we
Speaker 1: have challenges in the Middle East that require attention that
Speaker 1: the President is highlighting, and there's been this long talk
Speaker 1: of a pivot to Asia that never seems to happen
Speaker 1: because we continue to provide a welfare safety net to Europeans. Steve,
Speaker 1: thanks for the perspective and expertise. Appreciate it, my pleasure.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Buck. It's becoming increasingly obvious that the Left
Speaker 1: is desperate to spin the inflation numbers report to make
Speaker 1: it look like they're actually fighting the forty year high
Speaker 1: inflation rates. But Americans are smarter than that. We'll have
Speaker 1: that story coming up with the founder and executive director
Speaker 1: of Power the Future, Daniel Turner. Let's talk about protecting
Speaker 1: your most viable asset, your home. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you saw this, but there's a recent story about an
Speaker 1: Arizona real estate agent that found the home she lived
Speaker 1: and was listed for sale. Problem was, she wasn't selling
Speaker 1: her home. She was the victim of home title fraud,
Speaker 1: a devastating crime happening all over the country. According to
Speaker 1: the experts at home title lock. The crime is incredibly
Speaker 1: profitable and hard to detect an identity. If he simply
Speaker 1: creates a fake title transfer for your home and refiles
Speaker 1: as a new owner, then he can take out loans
Speaker 1: on your home or sell it. Typical identity theft services
Speaker 1: don't cover you, and neither there's homeowner's insurance. Home tedle
Speaker 1: lock does. Home title lock puts a barrier around your
Speaker 1: home's title. The instant they detect anyone tampering with it,
Speaker 1: they help shut it down. They go to hometitlelock dot com.
Speaker 1: Read the testimonials from government officials to tell you about
Speaker 1: this crime and then take action. Register your address to
Speaker 1: see if you're already a victim and don't even know it.
Speaker 1: And when you protect your hometell them Buck sent you
Speaker 1: to get thirty free days of protection. Hometitleock dot com
Speaker 1: hometitlelock dot com. I understand inflation is a real challenge
Speaker 1: to American families. I'm doing everything within my power by
Speaker 1: executive orders to bring down the price and address to
Speaker 1: Prudent price syite. Prudent's war is already hurting American families
Speaker 1: at the gas pump from Prudent's price site in gasoline.
Speaker 1: Prudent invaded Ukraine, oh Dale with this Prudent price syite.
Speaker 1: Whenever they are my power to blunt Prudent's gas price.
Speaker 1: The Left is now desperate to spend the inflation numbers
Speaker 1: report to make it look like they're fighting the forty
Speaker 1: year high inflation rates. And no one wants to hide
Speaker 1: this problem more than President Joe Biden. Here's Council of
Speaker 1: Economic Advisors Chairwoman Cecilia Rouse admitting that President Biden is
Speaker 1: relying on the Federal Reserve to fix his inflation problem.
Speaker 1: You know, the President is giving the Federal Reserve the
Speaker 1: space it needs to do what it needs to do
Speaker 1: to control inflation. The Federal Reserve has the dual mandate
Speaker 1: of controlling prices while maintaining maximum employment. It is doing
Speaker 1: what it needs to do. Other presidents have tried to
Speaker 1: intervene in the actions. As President has said, they're independent.
Speaker 1: He respects what they need to do. And part of
Speaker 1: what the Federal reserves actions will do, and we're already
Speaker 1: seeing it is to cool off the housing market, which
Speaker 1: will find its way into helping with rent. So it's
Speaker 1: obvious we need to fight these inflation rates. But the
Speaker 1: president is not willing to do the work, Well, who
Speaker 1: are we going to rely and actually get the job done?
Speaker 1: I mean now in studio, founder and executive director of
Speaker 1: the Future, Daniel Turner, Daniel Man, thanks for being here.
Speaker 1: Great to be here. So why are we seeing the
Speaker 1: inflation numbers that we're seeing right now? I mean, so
Speaker 1: much of it is driven by really high energy prices.
Speaker 1: Right Everything that we consume, transport, eat, manufacture, it requires energy.
Speaker 1: And as energy prices have gone up, the price of
Speaker 1: those goods have gone up, and all those prices ultimately
Speaker 1: get passed onto the consumer. So if one of the
Speaker 1: ways to tackle energy, besides the outrageous spending bills coming
Speaker 1: out of DC, the other way to really tackle inflation
Speaker 1: would be to do everything possible to drive down the
Speaker 1: price of energy, and that would ultimately drive down prices. So,
Speaker 1: talking for a second about the ways in which the
Speaker 1: Biden administration has made it harder for them to be
Speaker 1: energy fossil fuel energy production in this country, what are
Speaker 1: the things the one that everyone points a keystone axel
Speaker 1: pipeline canceling that for example, Okay, that goes in the column.
Speaker 1: What else, though, what else have they done that has
Speaker 1: made it either more expensive or just more onerous from
Speaker 1: a regulatory perspective to do the refining as well as
Speaker 1: the exploration and bringing that gas up from the ground. Yeah, Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: this is an industry that requires a lot of government
Speaker 1: cooperation because of just the nature of the industry. So
Speaker 1: Biden keeps talking about these nine thousand leases that we have. Great,
Speaker 1: we have those leases, but you need government permission to
Speaker 1: do exploratory drilling, and that's just one set of permissions.
Speaker 1: Then you need another set of permissions to do actual
Speaker 1: drilling and extraction. And once you extract oil and gas,
Speaker 1: you don't have permission necessarily to transport it. That's another
Speaker 1: set of permissions. And all of these stages and all
Speaker 1: these steps require the government's cooperation, and all of them
Speaker 1: are being shut down by the Department of Interior, predominantly
Speaker 1: the Department of Interior. You add on top of that
Speaker 1: just land use access. So on passover on Good Friday,
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the land was made available when we
Speaker 1: have been given a promise of one hundred percent of
Speaker 1: land leases. Deb Holland, Secretary of Interior, only announced twenty percent.
Speaker 1: We've removed the million acres of land for oil and
Speaker 1: gas exploration in Alaska, a million acres in the Gulf
Speaker 1: of Mexico, and just this week announcing we'removing more oil
Speaker 1: and gas leases from the Gulf and from the Atlantic.
Speaker 1: So again they're sending all these signals to the industry
Speaker 1: saying we're not going to let you produce oil and
Speaker 1: gas easily, and so the industry is responding in kind
Speaker 1: by producing lesson prices going up. So we know that
Speaker 1: the latest numbers, We've got this from Fox Business just
Speaker 1: reporting on it nine point one percent in June. So
Speaker 1: that's more of a acceleration than one's expected forty year high. Right,
Speaker 1: you put out this statement on how Biden is not
Speaker 1: fighting inflation properly. With inflation exploding at home, President Biden
Speaker 1: heads to Saudi Arabia hat in hand to beg for
Speaker 1: more oil. If he wants to stop his terrible inflation,
Speaker 1: Biden shouldn't be in Saudi Arabia begging for oiler. Should
Speaker 1: be in America's Permian basin telling energy workers he's going
Speaker 1: to get out of the way. Yeah, why doesn't he
Speaker 1: do that? I mean, if we're going to ask the
Speaker 1: Saudi's to turn our more capacity, why is in Biden try,
Speaker 1: I have never heard this White House say we want
Speaker 1: to expand oil production here at home. No, that's a
Speaker 1: great point. He's never said anything like that. He's given
Speaker 1: these saphisms, I want to do everything possible to increase
Speaker 1: energy production, but he's never said I want to see
Speaker 1: America produce more So. He's going to the Saudis, he's
Speaker 1: there right now. He's sent envoys to Venezuela and to
Speaker 1: the Iranians, right so he understands we have a supply problem,
Speaker 1: but he's not interested in that supply coming from domestic producers.
Speaker 1: And just case in point, last week or two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: when the major CEOs of the energy industry were in DC,
Speaker 1: he refused to meet with them. Deb Holland, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: Jennifer Granham, Secretary of Energy, met with them, but the
Speaker 1: President made it he was proud of the fact he
Speaker 1: wouldn't meet with them. So again, he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: cooperate with us. And we can't survive without cooperation from government.
Speaker 1: So this White House wants to say that they have
Speaker 1: they're doing everything they can to deal with the energy
Speaker 1: crunch right now at the high price of gas, But
Speaker 1: they also think that the people that actually produced the
Speaker 1: gas are basically dirty and immoral. He talks with more
Speaker 1: hostility towards the oil and gas industry in America than
Speaker 1: he does to the rest of the world, right than
Speaker 1: he does about our arch enemies. He has much more
Speaker 1: favorable opinions about gij ping than he does about American
Speaker 1: fossil fuel industry, and that's telling here is representative. Hakim Jeffries,
Speaker 1: for example, was asked about Biden's high inflation numbers. This
Speaker 1: is interesting to see what a political challenge this is
Speaker 1: for Democrats. Watch this one, and I think that President
Speaker 1: Biden has continued to lead in a way that has
Speaker 1: brought about a strong economic recovery from the standpoint of
Speaker 1: low unemployment, increased wages, and significant job growth. I believe
Speaker 1: nine million jobs have been created under the presidency of
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. That's a record in American history. But issues remain,
Speaker 1: certainly as it relates to increased costs. So, yeah, Jakim
Speaker 1: Jeffries are saying the Biden's done a good job in
Speaker 1: this economic recovery, and yet the American people disagree. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the polling all shows that they put this squarely in
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's hands, and the American people aren't following for
Speaker 1: the fact that this administration has allowed them to go
Speaker 1: back to work and thought that that's job creation, right,
Speaker 1: So they don't believe that the president's job numbers. They
Speaker 1: also don't believe that first montage you play. They don't
Speaker 1: believe the pudin price hike, at the pudent price inflation.
Speaker 1: They don't believe it's COVID. They don't believe it's supply chain.
Speaker 1: They're putting the energy crisis at Joe Biden's hands because
Speaker 1: they remember the campaign when he said, very clearly he
Speaker 1: said to that girl, look at me in the eye.
Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you I'm putting oil and gas
Speaker 1: out of business. They listen to him and and they
Speaker 1: believe him, and that's what he said he was going
Speaker 1: to do, and he's doing it. If the domestic oil
Speaker 1: producers had a White House that said, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's just let's just do it. Let's drill, baby, drill,
Speaker 1: let's go for it. What kind of additional capacity could
Speaker 1: be brought online. I know it would take time, it's
Speaker 1: not an overnight thing. But let's say within the next
Speaker 1: couple of years, what will we be looking at. I mean,
Speaker 1: it took the president, the Trump administration in two solid
Speaker 1: years to get to true energy independence. We started celebrating
Speaker 1: it at the end of eighteen beginning of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: So the industry takes a while to come online. But
Speaker 1: it did happen because the industry itself felt that they
Speaker 1: were getting the right signals from government that they were
Speaker 1: going to get out of the way. President Trump was
Speaker 1: incredible for this industry, but he didn't discover a new
Speaker 1: oil patch. We had no new technology that came about
Speaker 1: the miracle of a President Trump did for oil and gases.
Speaker 1: He just let us do our darned jobs. And if
Speaker 1: this administration said, like, you guys are the experts, you
Speaker 1: do it responsibly, you do it better than anyone else
Speaker 1: in the world. Go out and find oil and gas
Speaker 1: and bring us to market, we would We would be
Speaker 1: bringing two or three million more barrels a day. And
Speaker 1: when we back to a dollar eighty nine a gas
Speaker 1: a gallon gas like we saw under President Trump, would
Speaker 1: be back to sixty dollar barrel oil. You know, this
Speaker 1: industry wants to make its money off of volume. It
Speaker 1: doesn't want to make its money off of price. But
Speaker 1: the Biden does administration believes in government. They don't believe
Speaker 1: in freedom markets. Daniel, thanks very well, I appreciate it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: With the mid terms approaching fast, even the far left
Speaker 1: media outlets are starting to warn of a red wave
Speaker 1: on the way. We'll talk with Ryan Grudowski, author of
Speaker 1: They're Not Listing, when we return. Right now, I want

Speaker 1: red wave on the way. We know by inflation is
Speaker 1: at an all time high. We know his approval ratings
Speaker 1: are tanking. So when we start to see Democrat voters
Speaker 1: changing their minds in the upcoming midterm elections, what I
Speaker 1: mean now, someone who knows this stuff backwards and forwards
Speaker 1: author of they're not listening and also check out his
Speaker 1: National Populist newsletter on substack, Ryan Gerdusky, Ryan, good to
Speaker 1: be with you man, Thank you for having me. So
Speaker 1: you've got this great piece the long shots which Republicans
Speaker 1: can win that we least expect. Walk us through some
Speaker 1: of this, tell us who I mean, These are not
Speaker 1: the ones you're saying we're gonna win. These are ones
Speaker 1: you're saying in the piece because of the trajectory of
Speaker 1: the GOP right now because of the beginnings of the
Speaker 1: red wave, we could win and some of them are
Speaker 1: really pretty surprising. So take us through some of them.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right. So you have a lot of areas
Speaker 1: that Republicans are kind of cast out in New England
Speaker 1: California where Republicans could see some resurgence. So let's take
Speaker 1: in new hand, New England. You've Alan Fung in Rhode
Speaker 1: Island's second congres National This is the western portion of
Speaker 1: Rhode Island. Alan Fung is the guy who's run for
Speaker 1: governor twice loss but he did very well in the
Speaker 1: western half of it. This is a district that's tracking
Speaker 1: right over time, and it could be the first time
Speaker 1: Republicans see a victory in Rhode Island in decades. Similarly,
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire second Congressional district, you have thirty six
Speaker 1: year old Mayor George Hansell, who is a mayor of
Speaker 1: a fairly large town in the region called Keene, New Hampshire.
Speaker 1: He won by a huge margin for his mayoral reelection.
Speaker 1: He's running in a fairly democratic area. But once again,
Speaker 1: this is an area that went Republican in twenty ten
Speaker 1: or the twenty ten read way that they had there.
Speaker 1: There are overall six congressional seats in New England that
Speaker 1: are up for grabs for Republicans, two in Connecticut, one
Speaker 1: in Rhode Island, two in New Hampshire, and one in Maine,
Speaker 1: those two being the long shots. In California in the
Speaker 1: Central Valley, and people talk about the Hispanic moving towards Republican,
Speaker 1: especially working class Hispanics. There's no better part of working
Speaker 1: class spacks in the Central Valley of California, which is
Speaker 1: three congressional districts, two which are representing currently by Democrats,
Speaker 1: one by a Republican. California's ninth congressional district, Republican Tom
Speaker 1: Patty is making a bid to win one of those
Speaker 1: congressional seats. If he wins, it will also mean that
Speaker 1: Republicans carry the nearby thirteenth Congressional District and the twenty
Speaker 1: second Congressional District, which is currently helped by Republican David Valdeo.
Speaker 1: Those are just some of the areas that people are looking.
Speaker 1: Similarly in the Northwest right now, Republicans just have four
Speaker 1: congressional seats, but there's four more that are vulnerable. Republican
Speaker 1: Canada Alec Scarleto's is running and he is the subject
Speaker 1: of Clint Eastwood's movie fifteen seventeen to Paris. He's running too.
Speaker 1: So is he the guy who was on the bullet
Speaker 1: train who ran and grabbed the guy who at the
Speaker 1: AK forty seven who was going to do the mass
Speaker 1: casualty terror attack. Is that that's the guy? Yeah, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's him. Yes, he's so. He's running for Congress. Two
Speaker 1: years ago he did fairly well. I got in the
Speaker 1: mid forties, didn't win. Is running now in an open
Speaker 1: seat and in a Republican wave here who knows? And
Speaker 1: if he wins, it means Republicans are probably picking up
Speaker 1: two or three more seats in the Pacific Northwest, which
Speaker 1: would be monumental area that Republicans really haven't won many
Speaker 1: seats in a very very long time. Now, if the
Speaker 1: Senate is going to come down to a couple of
Speaker 1: races control of the Senate, Ryan, what are the races
Speaker 1: and how do you think the GOP is looking in them? Well,
Speaker 1: there's five major races. New Hampshire where the incumbent Republican
Speaker 1: people have been selling New Hampshire is an easy Democrat win. However,
Speaker 1: the Democrat incumbents popularity is in the high thirties. You
Speaker 1: have Georgia, which is Democrat hell currently Arizona, Nevada, and
Speaker 1: then Pennsylvania, which is a retiring Republican seat for Pat Toomey.
Speaker 1: Republicans are in a mixed shape. In Nevada, certainly they
Speaker 1: have a top tier candidate, Adam Adam Laxolt. In the
Speaker 1: other states not they didn't do amazing recruitment. However, in
Speaker 1: a wave year that may not matter as much. Certainly
Speaker 1: there's problems with the races in Georgia right now. Of
Speaker 1: herschel Walker is not the strongest candidate. He's had many
Speaker 1: many flubs in his background is troublesome. However, he could
Speaker 1: still pull up an upset there. If it is truly
Speaker 1: this astronomical wave A, Republicans are going to pick up
Speaker 1: victories left, right and center. Then it's going to be
Speaker 1: the shocking victory will be Joe od in Colorado. Now Colorado,
Speaker 1: once again, Republicans haven't won statewide or presidential races two
Speaker 1: thousand and four. However, they have one in two and
Speaker 1: ten and in two thou and fourteen, and the Republican
Speaker 1: the Democrat rather said Bennett when he ran in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: only got fifty percent against a much underfunded candidate who
Speaker 1: got forty six percent, not a huge amount of money
Speaker 1: for a state that people considered to be completely blue.
Speaker 1: So if there's been your shocking victory will be Joe
Speaker 1: od in the Colorado Senate race. And there's even been
Speaker 1: some talk in Democrats circles and some pieces in places
Speaker 1: like the New York Times, Ryan, I've seen on concerns
Speaker 1: about races in places like Oregon in Washington State, what
Speaker 1: are you seeing there? Yeah, Oregon is Oregon special this
Speaker 1: year because they have not only a Republican and Democrat,
Speaker 1: but an independent candidate, a former Democrat turned independent running
Speaker 1: statewide for governor. She's received the independent has received endorsements
Speaker 1: from prominent Democrats and prominent former Republicans from the state
Speaker 1: liberal Republicans, so it's really up for grabs. Republicans have
Speaker 1: only won one statewide race in Oregon since two thousand
Speaker 1: and haven't won the governor's race since nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 1: So Christine Dreisen running for governor. Drazen running for governor,
Speaker 1: she could be the first Republican governor in forty years.
Speaker 1: If she's able to pull off this upset. Washington Post,
Speaker 1: by the way, released an article titled Trump potential twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four announcement could wreak havoc on the mid terms?
Speaker 1: Ryan Play. This went out for us a little bit.
Speaker 1: First off, is it believe now? I mean, I know
Speaker 1: with Trump, let's believed could change tomorrow because Trump changes
Speaker 1: his mind and who knows, But does it believe he'll likely,
Speaker 1: in your estimation, announce before the election. If he does,
Speaker 1: what do you think that does to the election? And
Speaker 1: what does it what does it all look like? You know,
Speaker 1: people were guessing he was going to announce on fourth
Speaker 1: of July weekend, which obviously came and went with no announcement.
Speaker 1: Is he going to announce for September? When they're saying possibly?
Speaker 1: But once again it's Donald Trump. I don't think that
Speaker 1: he is in any rush to announce. He is the presumptive.
Speaker 1: He's presumptively running already. He would have the absolute lead
Speaker 1: if he did run as of this point, before debates
Speaker 1: happen or anything else. You know, who knows, But he
Speaker 1: is and he's got tons of money, so he doesn't
Speaker 1: have to rush to win to run. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of Democrats are hoping he does because they'll make
Speaker 1: the entire election about Donald Trump again. But really, what
Speaker 1: some voters minds is Joe Biden. It was like the
Speaker 1: abortion comment abortion. The abortion decision came and went, and
Speaker 1: Democrats didn't receive any long lasting, real major bump in
Speaker 1: the polls. Neither did Joe Biden. Republicans generic ballot fell
Speaker 1: a point, but it's slowly climbing back up again. I
Speaker 1: just don't think these are the major concision issues on
Speaker 1: concerned voters minds, especially with a recession likely coming in
Speaker 1: Q four of this year, which would be near election day.
Speaker 1: Even CNN is admitting the Democrats are going to face
Speaker 1: some real problems holding on to seats in the midterms.
Speaker 1: Then a recent article, they wrote the President Biden's approval
Speaker 1: ratings falling to the lowest levels of his presidency, that
Speaker 1: traditional pattern threatens Democrats, that sweeping losses in November's mid
Speaker 1: term elections ryan a pickup of what in the House
Speaker 1: and a balance of what in the Senate. In your mind,
Speaker 1: is a red wave the likes of which the Republicans
Speaker 1: should be proud of. What is is what is hitting
Speaker 1: the number properly in your mind. If they hit two
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five, that will be a very successful election,
Speaker 1: and thirty seas will be great. If they went two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty will be a monumental, generational victory, the
Speaker 1: likes of which we really haven't seen Republicans hit that
Speaker 1: kind of a number. Anything more than that is just,
Speaker 1: you know, astronomical. But two hundred and thirty five, I
Speaker 1: think would be reasonable. Two two hundred and forty, possible
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty and a real big red wave,
Speaker 1: and anything more than that is just really cherries on
Speaker 1: the cake at that point. That means the Democrats will
Speaker 1: have really no functional power in Washington in the House,
Speaker 1: and they could even have defective Republicans and it really
Speaker 1: won't matter. Subscribe to Ryan Grdusky's National Populist newsletter on
Speaker 1: sub stack, folks, if you want to be really in
Speaker 1: the know going into this election. Ryan, thanks so much,
Speaker 1: Thank you. AOC admit she knows some more information about
Speaker 1: January sixth, apparently, and there's still been no Democrat that
Speaker 1: can tell us what a woman is, which is interesting.
Speaker 1: We got that and more coming up in quickts. AOC
Speaker 1: has some interesting information she shares about January sixth, and
Speaker 1: there has still been no Democrat that can tell us
Speaker 1: what a woman is, at least publicly. So we got
Speaker 1: those stories in quick. Kids. Let's get to it. First
Speaker 1: of all, Oh my, here we have AOC talking about
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill police. Now, if I were to say a letting,
Speaker 1: I have said this before, but if I were to say,
Speaker 1: it's very strange that there's video of Capitol Hill police
Speaker 1: officers waving waving on some of the rioters on January sixth,
Speaker 1: that's a conspiracy. I'm a conspiracy theorists and bad person
Speaker 1: for you been bringing it up. But AOC is very
Speaker 1: upset about the fact that she believes there are or
Speaker 1: the thought that she believes there are insurrectionists among the
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill police officers who were, as she says, holding
Speaker 1: the doors open for them on January six and who
Speaker 1: were effectively the enablers of the insurrection. Here she is
Speaker 1: member of Congress freaking out about it. Watch if these
Speaker 1: insurrectionists and that there were actual officers working with this,
Speaker 1: And we never got to the bottom of that, and
Speaker 1: we never got any answers about that, and then to
Speaker 1: this day we're just supposed to pretend that that never happened.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what happened to the people on
Speaker 1: the inside who were very clearly sympathetic with what was
Speaker 1: going on and opening the doors wide open for that.
Speaker 1: So she's allowed to bring this up, of course, because
Speaker 1: she's a Democrat. But it does raise some questions, doesn't it.
Speaker 1: Why did members of Capital police essentially wave on rioters
Speaker 1: that day? If this was really about security, securing the
Speaker 1: capital in the future, if this was about preventing something
Speaker 1: like that from happening again, wouldn't that be one of
Speaker 1: the first questions we would see answered. Wouldn't we have
Speaker 1: those those Capital Police officers testifying about why they just
Speaker 1: moved the barricades out the way and said, come on.
Speaker 1: It seems kind of important, doesn't as to me? But
Speaker 1: then again, I also think it's important to be able
Speaker 1: to tell people what a woman is, which I think
Speaker 1: is pretty straightforward, like this shouldn't be that hard. It
Speaker 1: appears that there are Democrats who are still totally unable
Speaker 1: to answer this. The president of the National Women's Law
Speaker 1: Center was asked, and this is what you said about
Speaker 1: the very complicated question what is a woman? Since you
Speaker 1: are the president of the National Women's Law Center. I
Speaker 1: was hoping that you could define what a woman is
Speaker 1: for us in this committee. Hearing that there are people
Speaker 1: who identify as non binary, I think, okay, we're not
Speaker 1: going to go there. I was hoping maybe you would be.
Speaker 1: I was hoping that maybe you would say something that
Speaker 1: maybe we learned in high school biology that has to
Speaker 1: do with X and Y chromosomes, but to which define
Speaker 1: male and female. But I guess we're not going to
Speaker 1: get in there. Nope, we are not. Not with these democrats.
Speaker 1: And here is Kamala taking a page on a Biden's
Speaker 1: playbook with some you just got to hear this one.
Speaker 1: Watch together. We are expanding access to transportation. Seems like
Speaker 1: maybe it's a small issue. It's a big issue. You
Speaker 1: need to get to go and need to be able
Speaker 1: to get where you need to go to do the
Speaker 1: work and get home whatever that means. All right, that's
Speaker 1: different than I told the line No spinoos with Bill
Speaker 1: Riley is next. She'll tie
