It doesn't matter what Joe 21 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: messes up. It's now all going to be I Joe, 22 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: I blame everything wrong in the world on Vladimir Putin. 23 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: The border that that's Vladimir Putin's fault. That's not my fault. 24 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: The energy crisis, the fact that energy we were paying 25 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: almost a bug fifty more a gallon before Putin ever 26 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: invaded Ukraine, that's all Vladimir Putin's fault. Five months of 27 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: forty year high of inflation, that's Vladimir Putin's fault. Afghanistan, 28 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 1: that's Vladimir Putin's fault. This is now the big Democratic lie. 29 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: This is what they're now pushing, and they're hoping somehow 30 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: they're able to convince enough of the American people that, oh, 31 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: if Vladimir didn't invade Ukraine, things would be so much better. Well, 32 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: they were so much worse already headed towards recession. You 33 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: can't get four months straight forty year high of inflation 34 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: and then blame Vladimir Putin when he only invaded the 35 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 1: country what two weeks ago. It's ridiculous. And you know, 36 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: then they're saying, oh, that's the reason for high gas prices, 37 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with our horrific energy dependency policies. 38 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: You know, nobody seems to want to focus on him 39 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: doing this idiotic Iranian deal, but it is what it 40 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: is now. It's even gotten so bad that in the 41 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 1: latest attempt to shield Biden from the results of his 42 00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: disastrous economic and energy policies, Democrats and now claiming if 43 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: you criticize Biden for sky high gas prices, you are 44 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: un American, and Washington State Democratic Congresswoman Kim Schreier insisting 45 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: that Biden bears no responsibility at all for gas prices 46 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: either before or after Russia invaded Ukraine. Right now, in 47 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, this is Putin, She said to 48 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,679 Speaker 1: some podcaster, you should be blaming Putin if anyone for this. 49 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: To not blame Putin, first of all is denying reality. 50 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: And secondly, frankly, I think it's Unamerican. So if you 51 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: hold Joe accountable for his foul policies, it's an American 52 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: And I mentioned earlier this article on boxnews dot com 53 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: where Russia duped Europe into energy dependence by funding these 54 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: rabid environmental groups. Remember Germany gave up all their nuclear power. 55 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: How's that working out for them? February twentieth of this year, 56 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: we found an article in The New York Times, the 57 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: Biden administration halts all new drilling. Oh well, they say, well, 58 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: why don't they drill in these other places. We're gonna 59 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: get to that in just a second. Biden doubles down 60 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: again on ending fossil fuel consumption as gas prices continue 61 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: to skyrocket. So he'd rather deal with Venezuela and the 62 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: murdering thug dictator Maduro. He'd rather deal with the Mullahs 63 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:20,720 Speaker 1: in Iran that just attack with a ballistic missile one 64 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: of our bases in Iraq. He'd rather beg OPEC, which 65 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: has rejected him numerous times, than become energy independent here anyway. So, 66 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 1: at an in person fundraiser at the DNC yesterday as 67 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: part of his push heading into the twenty four mid terms, 68 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: he focused his remarks predictably on this insane climate change 69 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: agenda cult religion of the left to a group of 70 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 1: eighteen attendees, that we're sitting at two long tables at 71 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: the Hotel Washington and our nation's capital, and we're going 72 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: to continue to be aggressive on the executive front as well. 73 00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: He spoke about bipartisan infrastructure deals, climate provisions, and he 74 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 1: said Russia's invasion of Ukraine is another reason why we 75 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: need to get off our dependency on fossil fuels and 76 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: called the climate crisis and existential threat to humanity. Our 77 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 1: grandchildren will never forgive us. I'll never forgive him anyway. 78 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: Here's Nancy Pelosi saying, you know, this is more of 79 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: the big lie. Vladimir Putin did not cause all of 80 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: these problems. They were all in existence ahead of time. 81 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: But that's you know, never let a horrible situation go 82 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: to waste. Here's Nancy Pelosi. But we have to literal 83 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: idea where even though in fils for ten years, they 84 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 1: measured for twenty years, and Impromonteur said a trullion dollars 85 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: over twenty years a stay. So when we're having this discussion, 86 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: it's important to dispel some of those who say, well 87 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: said government staying noticing, because that is doing the exact 88 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: reverse producing the national debt is not inflationary. Just the 89 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: dumbest idiocy on the face of this earth. As we've 90 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: been discussing now for a couple of days. Now, Pete 91 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,000 Speaker 1: Buddha Judge is out there saying oil and gas prices 92 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 1: are outside the control of any political figure. Now, this 93 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: man with this wealth of experience. He's the mayor of 94 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: South Bend and he did a lousy job as mayor. 95 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 1: Being frank. Now he's telling we'll get another high paying 96 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: career job, union career job after the Keystone x Al 97 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: pipeline workers were let go. The same idiot that's telling 98 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: everybody just go by an electric car sixty grand. Oh, 99 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna give us a sixty grand. I'm sure a 100 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: lot of Americans would appreciate it. But now he's saying 101 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: that oil and gas prices that's not true. Joe Biden's 102 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: policies have artificially reduced the world supply. It has made 103 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: our NATO and Western European allies dependent on Russia. And 104 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,919 Speaker 1: now it's got Joe Biden kissing the ass of Mullas 105 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: and Iran and thug dictators like Mindoro and begging Opec. 106 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: Here's Buddha to judge the genius that he is. Gas 107 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: prices at the pump have been a huge tax on 108 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: anybody who is driving anywhere. What do you do about that? 109 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: And are you in favor of potentially putting a hold 110 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: on the national gas tax in the meantime until those 111 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 1: prices do come down, well, it continues to be important 112 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: to keep options open. As you know, the President has 113 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: taken a lot of steps to bring relief and to 114 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: help stabilize oil prices, including that big release from the 115 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Of course, the long term solution for 116 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 1: this is energy independence and a shift to renewable energy 117 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: here in this country. But let's also remember that while 118 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: oil prices and gas prices are famously something that is 119 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: largely outside of the direct control of any political figure. 120 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: All right. Joining us now is Joel Griffith, and he 121 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: is a research fellow for the Institute of Economic Freedom 122 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: and Opportunity at the Heritage Foundation and former Kae Restaurant 123 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: CEO and Heritage visiting fellow Andy puzzders with us. Welcome 124 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 1: both of you, Joel. Is what they're telling us true 125 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: because I learned I had a double major when I 126 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: was in college, and it was economics and political science 127 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: and economics one O one taught me that's supplying the 128 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: man criss cross and dictate the price. And Joe Biden 129 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 1: has artificially reduced the world supply of oil and given 130 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: up energy independence. And before Putin invaded Ukraine, gas prices 131 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: were about a buck fifty more a gallon around the country. 132 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: So are they lying to us, Well, thank you drapping 133 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: me on the show, Sean. And here's what the Mayor 134 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: Pete didn't tell us. In that first year of Joe 135 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: Biden's presidency, before Putin invaded Ukraine, gas prices increased fifty percent. 136 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: And here's something else Mayor Pete didn't tell us. In 137 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, the last year President Trump's president. In twenty twenty, 138 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,439 Speaker 1: our nation became a net oil and net oil product 139 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: exporter for the first time since nineteen forty nine. Well 140 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,400 Speaker 1: that's in reverse in twenty twenty two. This year, we're 141 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: expected to once again be in that importer. And that's 142 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,000 Speaker 1: likely to be the case of twenty twenty three. And 143 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: this is partially due to the fact that this administration 144 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 1: has declared war in the fossil fuel sector. I know 145 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:14,679 Speaker 1: right now there'll be raiding oil companies ty number to 146 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 1: produce more. But everything that's come down from this administration 147 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: from day one has been an assault on pipelines and 148 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: assault on new refineries, and has been a declaration of 149 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 1: war long term on our own ability to produced a 150 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 1: funded fossil fuel force. All right, do you have an 151 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: estimate because I asked Energy Secretary Rick Perry about it, 152 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: and he said, well, over a hundred years worth of 153 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: energy independence. I've heard estimates up to we may have 154 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: two hundred plus years if we with new technology, for example, 155 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: microwaving shelle and liquefying it and absorbing it and extracting 156 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,599 Speaker 1: it that way. How many years does America have in 157 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: terms of its supply of energy, well gas, oil, or 158 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: just in terms of proven reserves. We have generations, yeah here, 159 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,679 Speaker 1: but talking about the reserves that we know we're there 160 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: that we haven't actually explored, we're talking in excess of 161 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: two hundred years of abundant natural gap towards this year 162 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: in the United States. Okay, So in other words, we 163 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: don't need to drop of oil from anybody. And why 164 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 1: we would artificially, you know, reduce the world supply and 165 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: beg you know, these nations the biggest state sponsored terror 166 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: makes no sense, Andy Posterer, No, it makes absolutely no 167 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: sense at all. You know, if you listen to what 168 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 1: bo just said. He said, Look, Biden released these strategic 169 00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: energy reserves. He didn't happen to say that there was 170 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: oil in them because of President fromp But he released 171 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 1: rose in the strategic energy reserves, got some other countries 172 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:37,959 Speaker 1: to do it, and the price went down. Well, the 173 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: price went down because it increased the supply of oil. 174 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: And then he says there's nothing Biden can do. Well. Obviously, 175 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: if he increases the supply of oil, the price of 176 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: oil is going to come down. All he's got to 177 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: do is stand there, stand up in front of the 178 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: White House and say, look, we're going to do everything 179 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: we can to encourage American energy production. We're going to 180 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: make permitting easier. We're going to make transportation easier by 181 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,560 Speaker 1: approving these pipeline or encourage banks to land in two 182 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: oil companies, particularly the Independence. We're going to generate some 183 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: real oil production in this country. And just the anticipations 184 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: of the oil prices of oil production going up is 185 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,920 Speaker 1: going to lower the prices, which in fact happen today 186 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: when Saudi Arabia and the Emirates indicated they might they 187 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: might produce some oils. So he does have the power 188 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: to do something, he just chooses not to use it 189 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: because he's got political pressure preventing him from using it. 190 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: So do we have the alternative energy capability that idiots 191 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: like Buddha, Judge and others talk about all the time 192 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: because I've not seen the great success of windmills and 193 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 1: solar panels. Joel. Your thoughts, well, we don't currently have 194 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,719 Speaker 1: that capacity. But here's what the Biden ministries want to do. 195 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: They're on the record wanting to spend trillions of dollars 196 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: to manufacture that capacities. For sure, perhaps to cover the 197 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: entire heartland with windmills and and with solar panels to 198 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: help composite us for the loss of natural gas and 199 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: oil ailies. But that's not going to be cost effective. 200 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: At the Heritage Foundation, we have tomate that that type 201 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 1: of a proposal will cost the typical family eight thousand 202 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: dollars per year in higher energy costs. And that's not 203 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: just the number made up. If you look at what's 204 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: going on in Germany, they've actually tried to implement their 205 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: own version of the Green New Deal, and Germans pay 206 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: about twice the rate for electricity as we pay in 207 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 1: the United States. And that's almost exclusively because they've actually 208 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: embraced this Green New Deal program and shut down the 209 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: nuclear power plant and really foresaw the natural gas protection 210 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: capacity to the wayside. Quick break We'll come right back 211 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: more with Joel Griffin and Andy Puzder as we discuss 212 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: and continue to talk about the idiocy of America abandoning 213 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:58,640 Speaker 1: energy and dependence. All right, more with Joel Griffith and 214 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: Andy Puzder. You know, the puzzling question why Joe Biden 215 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: would want to bag the world's worst hostile actors, including 216 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 1: mullahs in Iran and dictators in Venezuela then use the 217 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: vast resources energy resources we have in this country is 218 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: beyond any comprehension I have. Is it true what the 219 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: Alberta premiere had said that the pipeline, the Keystone XL 220 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: pipeline would have now been finished and it would have 221 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: a capacity of importing to America from Canada nine hundred 222 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: thousand barrels of oil a day. Andy, That's absolutely true, 223 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: and that would be obviously we need those We need 224 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: that oil, The world needs that oil. Oil is priced 225 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 1: on an international basis, it's not priced domestically, but that 226 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,839 Speaker 1: oil coming down to the United States and reducing the 227 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: transportation costs for the producers of that oil would have 228 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: a huge impact. And it absolutely is true. You know, 229 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: they said ten years ago, we're not going to approve 230 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: the pipeline because it'll take ten years for it to 231 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: get in. Well, if you know, if they'd approved it before, 232 00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: we'd have it. Now. Look, all you gotta do is 233 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,599 Speaker 1: increase oil supplies and the price will come down. And 234 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: you don't even have to actually increase the actual supply. 235 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: You just have to increase the anticipation of supply going 236 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: up and the price will come down. So there's a 237 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 1: lot This president could do it. So I said he 238 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: just can't do it. Well, it's not that he can't 239 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: do it, It said he won't do it because he's 240 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: beholden to the extreme radical leftist that represents the new 241 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: Green Deal Democratic Socialist Party. Isn't that it? Joel, Oh, 242 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: that's exactly right. And they've been very open about this. 243 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: This has been about the moving resources away from foul 244 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: fuels and into green energy because they believe that humankind 245 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: is a parasite on humanity. And to hear the vitaministration 246 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: putting all the blame on Russia right now, you know, 247 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 1: other than you know the price numbers, think about this. 248 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: Daily imports from Russia close about three hundred thousand barrels 249 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: of oil per day. That sounds like a lot, until 250 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: you realize that we use about nineteen million barrels per day, 251 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: and until you realize that our production has dropped off 252 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: a cliff over the last few years. Our production has 253 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 1: dropped off by bound seven hundred thousand bears today. That 254 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: is a multiple of what we import daily from Russia. 255 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,479 Speaker 1: You know, if I look, if we look very objectively 256 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 1: at the reserves we have natural gas oil, call how 257 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 1: quickly would we be able to supply our NATO allies, 258 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 1: Western European allies, and then their dependence on Russia and 259 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: putin Joel will ask you that, and Andy same question. Well, sadly, 260 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 1: this kent will not happen overnight. We know that over 261 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: the last years, Germany has moved and parts of other 262 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: presier have moved into dependency on Russian. To President Trump's credit, 263 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: he was pushing against Europe developing the dependency because he 264 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: feared that what has happening today would happen, that Russia 265 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: would make in some sort of an invasion upon its neighbors. 266 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: And because Germany is dependent on Russian fuel sources, they're 267 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: going to be hesitant to push back. And that's exactly 268 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: what has happened. In President Biden stood alongside and allowed 269 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: that pipeline project that was going to move oil or 270 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: moot gas from Russian to Germany. He allowed that to 271 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: go forward. It's going to take some time to win 272 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: europe office dependency and last hard same question. It can 273 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: happen very quickly, I think, because look, we're the number 274 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: we're the world's largest exporter of natural natural gas. We 275 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: were the third largest exporter oil. But very specific to 276 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: how do we get it there? Why would number one? 277 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: You've got to encourage these producers to go in. It's 278 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: either open up well as that were shut down or 279 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: open new wells. And they can only do that if 280 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: they've got an incentive to do it, and if they've 281 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: got the permits to do it. You know, they talk 282 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: about having leases, but you also need to have permits. 283 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: You need to be able to move the oil, and 284 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: you need to be able to get the money, particularly 285 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: if you're an independent producer to open those wells. They're 286 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: twenty thirty million dollars per well for drill site. So 287 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: you've really got to get these people encouraged to produce. 288 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: You encourage American energy producers to get out there and 289 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: end produce and you'll find very very quickly that we'll 290 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: be meeting the needs of the world, not to mention 291 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: our own needs once again. All right, thank you both, 292 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 1: Joel Griffith, thank you, Andy puzz there, thank you. Eight 293 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: hundred and nine for one Sean a number. You want 294 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, continuing to build 295 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: a foundation for conservative victory. Victory. Now back to the 296 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. All right, twenty five to the top 297 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,359 Speaker 1: of the hour. We'll get to your calls. Eight hundred 298 00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: and nine for one Sean our number. You want to 299 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. So when it was 300 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: such an embarrassment, when when Kamala Harris and I know 301 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 1: it's been announced today that Joe is going to make 302 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: a trip to Europe. This is probably going to be 303 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: a disaster because Joe's going to be on Air Force one. 304 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: No matter what, when you travel, how often, I've traveled 305 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 1: a ton in my life, and it doesn't matter you travel, 306 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: you're tired. End of sentence. It takes at least a 307 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: day or two to get back to normal, except for 308 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: short flights obviously, but even that can be a pain 309 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 1: in the you know what. Anyway, So Kamala goes over. 310 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 1: Joe's going over, can't wait for that disaster. But Kamala 311 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: goes and she's with the president of Poland, and she 312 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: explains the great intellectual depth, with great intellectual depth and specificity, 313 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: the complexities of this issue with Ukraine and Russia. Listen, 314 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: if you're watching any level of news, even social media, 315 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: you've seeing everything that's going on right now in the Ukraine. 316 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 1: Break it down a layman's terms for people who don't 317 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,399 Speaker 1: understand what's going on and how can this directly affect 318 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: the people in the United States. So Ukraine is a 319 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 1: country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. 320 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: Russia is a bigger country, Russia is a power country. 321 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So 322 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: basically that's wrong. Okay, So Ukraine is a country in 323 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 1: Europe and it's next to a bigger country called Russia. 324 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: Russia is bigger, Ukraine exists in Europe, and Russia is 325 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: bigger and more powerful than they made an invasion. I 326 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 1: think probably a kid in first grade could do that, 327 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 1: but not in the average public school. They actually need 328 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: to go to a real school. No offense to good 329 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,719 Speaker 1: public school teachers out there. Now Kamala Harris has spoken 330 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: out again. It appears Kamala Harris does not know that 331 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: the country of Ukraine is not a part of NATO. Remember, 332 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 1: NATO matters because of Article five. An attack against one 333 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: NATO allied country is an attack against all NATO allied countries. Listen, 334 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 1: So I will say what I know we all saying. 335 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,479 Speaker 1: I will say over and over again, the United States 336 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 1: stands firmly with the Ukrainian people in defense of the 337 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:14,959 Speaker 1: NATO Alliance. Great applause line. The only problem is Ukraine 338 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: is not a part of NATO. Now there is a difference. 339 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: How far out do Vladimir Putin's territorial ambitions go at 340 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: this moment. I don't know. Do I think deep down 341 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: in his heart that he wishes to bring the band 342 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: back together and reform the former Soviet Union? I do 343 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: will probably you know. One of the reasons that you know, 344 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: some of the Baltic countries, like you know, Estonia, Latvia, 345 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: Lithuania are saying, yeah, we support the no fly zone. 346 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: We better deal with this right here, right now, or 347 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: this could get really, really bad and it can be 348 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: World War three. Is for that reason I never thought 349 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 1: I'd say, I just don't like Bill Maher. There's nothing 350 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: to me that likable about him. Occasionally he's funny, you know, 351 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 1: but he's interesting sometimes because he's constantly lecturing the Democratic 352 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,119 Speaker 1: Party about being a bunch of knitwitz and having gone 353 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 1: so dramatically hard radical left. He's saying, you're never gonna 354 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: win newing this. So he's not dumb, he's smart. I 355 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: just don't agree with him or do I particularly like 356 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: his personality. And by the way, he doesn't like me 357 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: or my personality either, So there you go. But he 358 00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: raised a good question this weekend. Why didn't Putin invade 359 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 1: while Trump was in office? Listen? If Putin thought Trump 360 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: was really that supportive of him, why didn't he invade 361 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: when Trump was in office? It's at least worth asking 362 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: that question. If you're not locked into one Intraggian thought, 363 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: he's right, why didn't he? And as we discussed earlier, 364 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: I think because Donald Trump of what he did, he 365 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: destroyed the caliphate that Biden and Obama allowed to grow. 366 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: He destroyed Solomony, number one terrorist in the world, and 367 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: the you know, of course coming from Iran General Solimani, 368 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,239 Speaker 1: and he was fomenting terror, fighting proxy wars all over 369 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,920 Speaker 1: the Middle East for decades. Took him out right on 370 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: the tarmac and everybody with him. He took out Baghdaddy 371 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 1: and associates. He took out the al Qaeda leader in Yemen. 372 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 1: He never gets credit for any of this. So he 373 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 1: projected a strength that Joe Biden obviously does not have. 374 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are not up to the 375 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:37,399 Speaker 1: job of president and vice president. It's clear to every 376 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 1: hostile regime in the world right now the big winner, 377 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: if you're going to pick a winner in a horrible situation, 378 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: it's China. Because China now emerges as the needed ally 379 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: of Russia. They are now pursuing their territorial ambitions. I 380 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: believe you know. Their threat over the weekend warning of 381 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: the worst consequences for any country that supports Taiwan militarily, which, 382 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: by the way, we are already doing, is a clear 383 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: message that he's just going to sit back for a 384 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: while President She and then figure out what his territorial 385 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 1: ambitions are. And he kind of has already concluded what 386 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: I've concluded that Joe and Kamala are not up to 387 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: the task. Period sad is the United States of America. 388 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: Now we're seeing what america last policies look like, and 389 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: we're seeing what a weekend America looks like and the 390 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: impact it has on the world. It's the reason I 391 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 1: wrote this little book before the election, Live Free or 392 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:45,080 Speaker 1: Die America and the world on the Brink. This is 393 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: the on the brink part that I saw coming. I 394 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: never thought it would get this bad this fast. I 395 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 1: thought it could get this bad. I didn't think it 396 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: would happen this fast. All right, let's get to our phones. 397 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: Let us say hello to Teresa Is in Florida. Teresa, 398 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,399 Speaker 1: how are you? You're smart? I'm dumb. Glad you called. Hey, Sean, 399 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 1: how are you doing today? Thanks for taking a call. Listen. 400 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: And I'm just an average person here in central Florida 401 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: who's sitting around being like, really upset and mad right 402 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,520 Speaker 1: now about all this mess. I want to know, and 403 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 1: I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but I 404 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: want to know why we're not having more serious discussions 405 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: about what could very possibly be motivating this president, his 406 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 1: administration and his associates. It defies logic the things that 407 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: he's doing, all right, and the things that he isn't doing. 408 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,640 Speaker 1: Like you said earlier, these things could be easily fixed. 409 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 1: Why aren't we even entertaining the idea that so much 410 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: of this is driven by self preservation because the man 411 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: is so compromised, good old fashioned blackmail and extortion. I mean, 412 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: and no one's really talking about it other than occasionally, 413 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,520 Speaker 1: you know, you guys talk about it. What's up with that? 414 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: I believe that the Biden family syndicate is compromised. I 415 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: think they compromised with Russia, that they compromise with China, 416 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: they compromise with Kazakhstan not involved here, they're compromised with Ukraine. 417 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: I think they all have dossier's and information on the 418 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: Biden family that if they revealed. Now it wasn't interesting 419 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: that Putin did something that didn't get a lot of notice. 420 00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: He put out a list of people. Um, what was 421 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 1: it that? Yeah? Correct, Yeah, and let's see who's on 422 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: the list. Oh, Hillary Clinton's on the list. Oh wow? Oh, 423 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,639 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden's on the list, and Hunter Biden is 424 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: on the list. Now is Vladimir Putin sending a message? 425 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 1: I can't say for sure, but it certainly looks like 426 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 1: a message to me. You raise a good point because 427 00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 1: they are compromised. It's a very good point. Us go ahead. 428 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: When you're driven by self preservation, you're never going to 429 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,680 Speaker 1: back up and pivot admit that you were wrong. Let's 430 00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: look at something out so that concerns me for our country. 431 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: Right there, it should concern you anyway, great thought, great 432 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 1: called Teresa. You get a gold star and an A 433 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: plus for today's called awesome observation. No, if it was Trump, 434 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that the investigations would be ongoing 435 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: in perpetuity, would never end. All right, quick break, Welcome 436 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,560 Speaker 1: back MORERIR calls eight hundred nine for one sean. You 437 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:45,400 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. Right back 438 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: to our busy phones. Let's say hi to carry carries 439 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: in middle in Texas, Carrie, how are you glad you called? 440 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: Why do I live in New York when I could 441 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 1: live in Florida, Texas? That makes me a very stupid person. 442 00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 1: I'm acknowledging it. Brother, I ain't no expert. I'm I'm 443 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: not the smartest one either. I have your job, well 444 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: not when the government takes sixty five percent of what 445 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 1: you earned. But anyway, I'm very happy doing my job. 446 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: I did it for free and for little to the 447 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 1: next to no money. But anyway, what's on your mind today? 448 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: By the way, middle of Texas, we wouldn't have to 449 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,360 Speaker 1: beg you to produce more energy there, would we We've 450 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: got it, We've got it. But that's it's a little 451 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: bit more in depth than that. So so Jensaki said, 452 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: there's nine thousand permits ready to drill, and I can, okay, 453 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 1: I can. I'll give rid of that. And let's say 454 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 1: that maybe half of those or tier one you know, 455 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: good spots ready to drill since forty five hundreds. But 456 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 1: to do this now, then you've got to build a pad, 457 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 1: move a drilling rig in, drill down ten thousand feet, 458 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: then you turn and go horizontal for about another fifteen 459 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: thousand feet. Get them out, get the rig out of 460 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: the way, bring frack in fracket, get them out of 461 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,640 Speaker 1: the way, bring coil in, read clean the well out, 462 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: bring the production stack, put it on, and then get 463 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: the oil out of there. Well, that's not cheap. And 464 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: it seems like every you know, every administration that we 465 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 1: that we change, well, now then they change the rules. 466 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 1: You know now that they're talking about windfall tax. Movies well, 467 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: if you knew that, if you kept investing that eventually 468 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: the government was going to completely shut you down, why 469 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: would you keep drawing It doesn't make any sense at all. Well, 470 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 1: it's interesting you bring that up because we now have 471 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 1: Democrats that are literally saying, now, well, first Biden is 472 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,679 Speaker 1: doubling down on ending fossil fuel consumption altogether. He's doubled 473 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: that and on that also, and nobody's playing attention to it. 474 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: We are Democrats are pushing a plan to tax the 475 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: oil company and their profits and then send checks to 476 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:45,720 Speaker 1: Americans and blame the oil companies for actually doing their 477 00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: job and making us energy independent, which is good for 478 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: our economy, good for inflation would drive it down, and 479 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: good for not being reliant on foreign sources of energy, 480 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 1: which is good for our national security. Those are not 481 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 1: things that are interested in. You're a one hundred percent correct. Well, 482 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,680 Speaker 1: if you think about it, McDonalds doesn't want a small fry. 483 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: It cost twenty dollars, but they they'll choke themselves off 484 00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: full companies don't want all at two hundred dollars a barrel. 485 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: That's the last thing they want because, just like every 486 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: other industry, if all two hundredllars a barrel, they can't 487 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: buy as much of it. There's a there's a sweet 488 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: spot probably in around the forty fifty sixty dollars range 489 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: for a barrel of oil, where everybody makes money and 490 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 1: we get relatively I mean relative relatively cheap energy. We 491 00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: don't have an alternative. But you're right, it's not as 492 00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 1: easy as Jensaki saying, well, do you use the nine 493 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,720 Speaker 1: thousand leases you already have?
