1 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, welcome to Battleground today. I've got a great guest. 2 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: His name is Daniel Turner. Daniel Turner is just an amazing, 3 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,799 Speaker 1: amazing guy. He's the founder and CEO of Power of 4 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: the Future. And if you know me, you've paid attention 5 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,119 Speaker 1: to my campaigns both for Congress and the Senate, that 6 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: then you know what a true believer that I am 7 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: in American energy independence, but not just independence, energy dominance. 8 00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,440 Speaker 1: It's critically important for a litany of different reasons. Daniel 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,280 Speaker 1: is a guy that understands that, and we are honored 10 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: to have him with us today. Daniel, welcome to the show. 11 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,559 Speaker 2: Oh it's great to be on with you, Sean, I 12 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 2: really am. I'm grateful to be with you. I've followed 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: you for a very long time, so to be on 14 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 2: your program was kind of an honor. So thank you. 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I appreciate it. Man. And like I said, like 16 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: your Twitter, like you're a pipe pitter when it comes 17 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: to this stuff. You pull no punches, and I mean, 18 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,039 Speaker 1: I want to dive into all this stuff. But one 19 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: of the things that you do and you do so well, 20 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: is is I think you understand the underpinnings of what 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: the radical green movement is all about and that it's 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,480 Speaker 1: not about, you know, protecting the climate. It's not about, 23 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: you know, regulating a proper global temperature. It's rooted in 24 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: control and I think ultimately communism. And so can we 25 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: start there? Is that? Okay with you? Yeah? 26 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 2: No, I agree with you one hundred percent. And I've 27 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 2: been saying these things for a while and sometimes people 28 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,400 Speaker 2: think you're crazy when you say this. But then in 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: the last couple of years, something amazing happened that Americans 30 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 2: and people worldwide experienced. And it's a perfect analogy, as 31 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 2: tragic as it is, it's a perfect analogy what the 32 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: Greens have been trying to do for decades, and that 33 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 2: thing is COVID. And under the guise of public health, 34 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: you suddenly saw the state step in with tremendous abuse 35 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: of power, with exceptions for the elite. You know, the 36 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 2: way John Kerry gets the fly as private jet is 37 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,119 Speaker 2: the way that mayors and governors were able to still 38 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 2: go to Cabo San Lucas, where they told their residents 39 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 2: they had a lock down. Right there was the confiscation 40 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: of private property, a total abuse of civil rights. You 41 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: can't go to church on Sunday, why because of COVID, 42 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: And so COVID is a great analogy of how when 43 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 2: the state wants control, they will use whatever pretext. And 44 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: COVID they used public health, but the Greens have been 45 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: using you know, the environment and for you Heck, just 46 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: look right now on social media because of the fires. 47 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: The East Coast is experiencing the smoke on the Canadian fires, 48 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: and what is everyone saying? Aoc pete Buddha, judge. All 49 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: of them are saying, it's all climate change and this 50 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: is what we have to do to fix it. And 51 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: what we have to do is steal your property and 52 00:02:57,880 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 2: trample on your civil liberties. 53 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: You are so right about about this. It's like as 54 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: soon as as soon as you saw the pictures from 55 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: New York City and the Skyland in New York City 56 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: being affected by these Canadian wildfires, the first thing that 57 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 1: I thought is, how is the radical left going to 58 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: how's the radical left going to leverage this to push 59 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,639 Speaker 1: the climate agenda even further? And like within twenty minutes 60 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: of me thinking that, you had Justin Trudeau out there 61 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,639 Speaker 1: on Twitter, the Canadian Prime Minister talking about how these 62 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: fires were caused by climate change. And you had all 63 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 1: these radical greens in this country talking about, you know, 64 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 1: these fires are caused by climate change, and in order 65 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: to fix that, we need to completely dismantle the fossil 66 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: fuel industry. Never mind the fact if we if we 67 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: did something like that, millions and millions of people would 68 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: starve worldwide. But but if that's if that's their ultimate goal. 69 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, and I don't mean to sound like 70 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: a crazy person here, but radical green movement has talked 71 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: about the Earth being overpopulated in a weird way, like 72 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: all of their strategic goals here with regards to the 73 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: climate agenda and dismantling the fossil fuel industry and and 74 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: you know, preferring instead to leverage you know, wind and solar, 75 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 1: which is highly unreliable, will lead to poor people becoming 76 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: more poor and hurt their ability to feed their families. 77 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: And in places in developing nations like Africa, people will die, 78 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: people will starve, absolutely. 79 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and they're totally fine with that. You know, 80 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 2: the fires in cal in Canada, and it's it's coincidental 81 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 2: that's happening when we're able to talk to you, because 82 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: it's a real time example. The fires in Canada, that 83 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 2: is nature. When people like this is climate change, It's like, no, 84 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 2: that's what the world does. There's this notion that the 85 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: world is this one like the Earth is this peaceful, 86 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 2: harmonious kind environment and humans are ruining it. And then 87 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 2: quite frankly, it's the opposite when you leave forests on 88 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: a ten for decades because the greens, like they've done 89 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 2: in America, the greens have made logging impossible, They've made 90 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: forest management impossible. Don't touch the forests right, climate, respect 91 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 2: the earth. You can't do any forest management well when 92 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: you leave a forest unattended for decades. This is what happens, 93 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: and it's what happened in Australia two years ago. It's 94 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 2: what happens in California regularly. 95 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: You know. 96 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: It's one interesting where this doesn't happen. And I'm not 97 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 2: advocating for this because I believe in private property, But 98 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 2: where this doesn't happen is the vestiges of the feudal 99 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,599 Speaker 2: system in Europe. Because if you're the Duke of Suffolk 100 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: and you have forty thousand acres, it's your land, and 101 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 2: you cultivate and protect your land, and they don't have 102 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 2: these crazy forest fires in Germany and other places because 103 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: the land is not open to the public. The land 104 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: is still held by a couple of families, but as 105 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 2: a result, they don't have this phenomena. So it's so 106 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 2: fascinating when people like justin True Oh or here in America, 107 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, the mayor of the governor of California, when 108 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: they say, you know, we're not allowed to do anything 109 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 2: in the forests because we're going to respect them because 110 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: of climate change, and then when neglected forests burn, they say, well, 111 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 2: it's climate change. 112 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: Right. 113 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: That's so much easier than saying forest management, because I mean, 114 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: who runs for office to do forest management? It's boring, right, 115 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: It's not like trans issues, right, you're sexy and fun. 116 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: No one wants to manage forests. It's boring, so you 117 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,799 Speaker 2: ignore them, and this is the result. 118 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 1: Daniel, you're so right and you're so articulate about this stuff. 119 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: How did we get here? I mean, because it seems 120 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 1: like the radical Greens, you know, they operate with impunity. 121 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: Many of these nonprofits that they're a part of are 122 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: funded by our geopolitical adversaries like China and Russia who 123 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: want to fill the void of American energy exports. And 124 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: I saw you say something on Twitter and not the 125 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: show blast you with a hundred different questions all nested 126 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 1: within my comments. But you're so right about your analysis 127 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: of Ukraine, and like, if you have a Ukrainian flag 128 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: in your bio and you are not advocating for American 129 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: energy independence and drill, baby, drill, than you're a complete 130 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: more on because you know, the sanctions on Russia clearly 131 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: aren't effective. But the best way we could cripple their 132 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: economy is by shipping natural gas all over the world 133 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: to dismantle that pillar of their economy and make it 134 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: hard for them to wage war on Ukraine. I mean, 135 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: it's it's why Okay, So I guess my question is 136 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: twofold one? How did we get here? In two? Why 137 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: the hell aren't these massive oil and gas corporations pushing 138 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: back harder against this agenda? They have the means to 139 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: do it, so why don't they? 140 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the first part of your question how 141 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: do we get here? Is why I agree with you 142 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 2: that this is a movement rooted in communism, because the 143 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: immunists see everything and they want it right. They've never 144 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: created anything, they just they just take over what other 145 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: people have built, whether it's a country, whether it's a university, 146 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 2: the fossil fuel industry, the resource development industry, because I 147 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 2: would include mining in that right, and metallurgic and metals 148 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 2: and mineral mining, et cetera. The resource development the extraction 149 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: industry is the largest, most powerful industry that is still 150 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 2: in private hands. And if you are a true statist, 151 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 2: if you believe the state should control everything, the way 152 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,439 Speaker 2: Obama believe the state should run the healthcare industry, if 153 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 2: you are a true statist, you cannot rest until that 154 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 2: is controlled by the government. And that's why every single 155 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 2: dictator when they come to power, one of the first 156 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 2: things they do is they nationalize the energy industry. Hugo 157 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 2: Chaves did it in two thousand in Venezuela, Stalin did. 158 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: It, Hitler did it. 159 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 2: Right, they cannot allow such a very important industry to 160 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 2: be in private hands. And so AOC Bernie say, Sheldon 161 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 2: white House, I mean, these are true statists. So how 162 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: do we get here? It's that they will never rest 163 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: until they control this industry, and and and how do 164 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 2: these groups not fight back enough. It's why I started 165 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 2: Power the Future. It's my biggest frustration. I think for 166 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: too long, the industry thought, you know, we're kind of 167 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 2: like the oxygen industry, like you can bash us, but 168 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 2: ultimately you need us to survive. And it's it's I 169 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: use the Churchill metaphor all the time about appeasing the alligator. 170 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: Right, you've just hold yes that, Daniel, That's what I 171 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: was That's what I was thinking about as you're talking 172 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,720 Speaker 1: about this. Yeah, I mean, I'm sorry to interrupt you, 173 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 1: I but that's exactly the quote that that I was 174 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: thinking about as you were talking these these It feels 175 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 1: like a lot of these major companies just rested on 176 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 1: their laurels and say, hey, you need us. Uh so, 177 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 1: there's nothing you can do to stop us. But in 178 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 1: the meantime, as relentless as the left has been and 179 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: the state has been, I mean, now i'm seeing, you know, 180 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: exon MO and BP, some of these massive energy conglomerates 181 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: sort of sputing the talking points of the radical left's agenda, 182 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: thinking that it will save them in the end. But 183 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 1: it won't. 184 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, it won't. And and and look at 185 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: what's happened in just two years when Biden has implemented 186 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: his his agenda. You know, we talked briefly about Ukraine 187 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: as he declared his war on fossil fuels and said, 188 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 2: you know, very proudly, no more drilling, no more no 189 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 2: new oil, no new leases. And he has really, you know, 190 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: lived up to that to a certain extent. There have 191 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 2: been a couple exceptions, but he's really lived up to that. 192 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 2: We've seen inflation go through the roof. Of course they've 193 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: tried to blame the Ukraine War and supply chain issues, 194 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 2: but ultimately inflation, the price of all goods and services 195 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 2: is high because the price of energy is high. We've 196 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 2: seen our utility bills go up thirty percent and that's 197 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: been a huge problem. We've enriched Russia so much so 198 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 2: that when they had a year and a half of 199 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: high prices, Putin took his wealth and he threw it 200 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,120 Speaker 2: towards the army and he invaded Ukraine. Right, we've made 201 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 2: the Saudis the world oil kings again. So now they're deciding, hey, 202 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: we're going to cut supply a million barrels a day 203 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 2: starting in July because they don't care about what America says. 204 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: They're not worried about America. So you look at all 205 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 2: of these things that are happening, and you say, this 206 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 2: is all the result of Biden saying, we don't want 207 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 2: to support the fossil fuel industry. 208 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: So and that's so. 209 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 2: Again another example of how this is the communist movement 210 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: in a nutshell, just with a new face. If you 211 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: could resurrect from the depths of hell someone like Chairman 212 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: Now and ask him about starving one hundred million people 213 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: for his great leap forward, he'd still tell you it 214 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,679 Speaker 2: was good and necessary, right, Like, ultimately it was good. 215 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 2: And Stalin would do the same thing. And so Biden 216 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 2: looks at the suffering he's inflicted on the American people 217 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 2: and he says, yeah, but it's ultimately it's a good thing, right, 218 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 2: It's okay. This Remember how long has people like the 219 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,120 Speaker 2: Obama administration talked about European style pricing of oil and 220 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 2: gas like this is what they want? And you have 221 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 2: to wonder, why do you hate humanity so much? And 222 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 2: then you realize, well, they're communists, and communists have always 223 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 2: hated humanity. 224 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: Today, I want to talk about something that's been on 225 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: the minds of many Americans lately, energy independence. With rising 226 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: energy prices and geopolitical tensions it's more important than ever 227 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: for our country to be self sufficient when it comes 228 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: to our energy needs, and that's where Deep Well Services 229 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: comes in. They're a company that's not only dedicated to 230 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 1: delivering top not services to the oil and gas industry, 231 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: but they're also committed to the goal of American energy independence. 232 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: With their cutting edge technology and expert team of professionals, 233 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: they're helping to unlock new sources of domestic energy and 234 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: reduce our dependence on foreign oil.

Like I'm 249 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: from western Pennsylvania, Like we've got Marcella Shoe here, Like 250 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: what we've been able to to do here in this 251 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: state reduce our carbon emissions every year for the last 252 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: twenty years to a standard that's better than what's set 253 00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: forth and even the Paris Climate Accords. And oh, by 254 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: the way, like when you know, look even just like 255 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: when President Trump was in office, I mean, gas was 256 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: like a buck eighty two a gallon, and in some 257 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: places it was cheaper. Our enemies like Russia, like their 258 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: economies completely completely crippled. The Saudis were actually taking our 259 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: calls because we were a power broker, you know, in 260 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: the actual energy industry, and they respected us more. And 261 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: what I can't wrap my mind around is that, well, 262 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: like if you look at it through the lens of 263 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, the radical green movement is communism, just with 264 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: a different name. Like none of the science backs up 265 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: any of the things that they're saying. I mean, these 266 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 1: crazy greens have been like making one wild climate predicament 267 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 1: after the next, for like what the last fifty years. 268 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: And first it was it was global cooling, and then 269 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: it was global warming, and and since like those two 270 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: things didn't come to fruition, now it's climate change. Like 271 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: there's a history of them being wrong, you know, But 272 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: how do they get away with continuing to foist this 273 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: propaganda on the American people? Is it just because? And 274 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: like why do these media companies allow it to happen? 275 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like I just can't understand, you know, 276 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: unless the endgame is communism and that's it. Like none 277 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 1: of the science backs up the things that they're saying. No, 278 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,360 Speaker 1: it's why they have. 279 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 2: To believe in science. Right. Science requires an active faith 280 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 2: when you're a leftist because it's not based in actual science. 281 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: Right. 282 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: So they'll tell you about the consensus, Well that there's 283 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: nothing more unscientific than consensus. That's that's politics, that's democracy 284 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 2: and voting. You know, we don't have consensus about the 285 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: molecules that make up water. 286 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: We have fact. 287 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 2: And so they tell you to believe in science. And again, 288 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 2: let's go back to the COVID world. When you said, okay, 289 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 2: well I have to stand six feet apart from these people, 290 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 2: you know, in the in the in the jet bridge. 291 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: But then when I sit down, I'm going to be 292 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 2: shoulder to shoulder with them for three hours. So why 293 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 2: do I have to stand six feet apart right now? 294 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: And if you ask that, they would kick you off 295 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 2: the plane and you are on the no fly list, 296 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 2: and you'd say, well, this is this is the result 297 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: of leaving in science. Why does the media go along 298 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: with it? Look at the Associated Press very proudly got 299 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 2: an eight million dollar grant to cover climate stories. Now 300 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: I've asked them if I could give them an eight 301 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 2: million and one dollar grant to cover fossil fuel stories. 302 00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 2: They don't return my calls, but they took an eight 303 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 2: million dollar grant for the sole purpose of pushing climate stories. 304 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: So our our enemies are very very good at pushing propaganda, 305 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 2: and they do right. The curriculum is pushed by the left. 306 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 2: The it's the in vogue thing to do right now 307 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 2: is to be a climate leftist and to applaud each other. 308 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: But yeah, there is no scientific and you know, here's 309 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: just the simple example of it. We need to get 310 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: rid of fossil fuels. We need to go to wind 311 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 2: and soul are great, well, wind and solar are made 312 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,440 Speaker 2: from fossil fuels, so actually you use more fossil fuels 313 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 2: to create wind and solar to make electricity than if 314 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 2: you just burn those fossil fuels directly to make electricity. 315 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 2: So where's the scientific benefit, where's the savings, where's the 316 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 2: And if you ask that to them, they say, well, 317 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 2: you're just a climate denier, and it's like, okay, so 318 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 2: we're in tautology world and it's just absolute nonsense. So 319 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 2: ultimately it comes down to yeah, political agendas. Either you 320 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 2: are vested in the wind and solar industry, which a 321 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 2: lot of these groups are. Jennifer grah Holme, the Secretary 322 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: of Energy, has millions of dollars in stock in green 323 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: energy companies, as does Pete Boudhage Edge, as does most 324 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: of the Biden administration. Right, so you're either financially vested 325 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 2: in this, or you just have this personal statist belief, 326 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 2: Like I said Bernie Sanders, the aocs, the true believers 327 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 2: of communism, who are admittedly socialists, you just true in 328 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 2: your heart believe the government needs to be in charge 329 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 2: of this. They don't have faith in human umanity, in 330 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: private property, in free markets, and so that's why they 331 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: are relentless in their fight. 332 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,959 Speaker 1: What I keep coming back to is that if they 333 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: are successful in their mission, Daniel, it effectively wipes out 334 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: freedom as we know it, as we've become accustomed to 335 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 1: in this country for the last two hundred plus years. 336 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, if they're successful when removings natural gas stoves 337 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: and we go to all electric and all electric cars, 338 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: and maybe electricity is now heating your home because you 339 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: don't have natural gas being pumped into your home to 340 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: heat your home. What all the government has to do 341 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 1: is flip a switch to turn off people's power, their 342 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 1: ability to cook, their ability to drive, anytime that they 343 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: step out of line. So, just like to your point about, hey, 344 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,639 Speaker 1: you can't question why on an airplane, you can't question 345 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: COVID on an airplane, and how the policy doesn't make 346 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: sense because you get kicked off the airplane and be 347 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: added to the no flylight. It's almost much in the 348 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 1: same way. You know, the government can control everything that 349 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: you do that you say. They don't like your social 350 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: media posts, so you're not going to be able to 351 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: start your oven for a week. I mean, it seems 352 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 1: like this is a precursor to a Chinese social credit system. 353 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: It is. 354 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: And that's so You've raised so many great points. But 355 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 2: let's go with the last one, which is China the environment. 356 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: The left are members of Congress on the left will 357 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 2: tell you all the time that China is leading the 358 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 2: world with electric vehicles, and they are more electric vehicles 359 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 2: by far, and not just because they have a larger population, 360 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 2: but the vast majority of electric vehicle per capita sales 361 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 2: and use is in China. Why well, there's two very 362 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 2: very clear reasons. One, China does not have a domestic 363 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: oil supply. So China is smart enough to say, if 364 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: I need to import twenty million barrels a day, mostly 365 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,679 Speaker 2: from the United States and from they buy a lot 366 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: from Russia, but they buy it from the world oil markets, 367 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 2: that's a huge vulnerability because they could cut us off. 368 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: So we need to put our people in electric vehicles. 369 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 2: And secondly, the electric vehicles is the social credit systems, 370 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 2: So if you are acting poorly, if you have done 371 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: something wrong, they can shut it down. So much so 372 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: and let's not knock Elon too much because I like 373 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 2: what he's doing on Twitter. But Elon musk famous Little 374 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 2: story did have a tiff with the Tesla employee who 375 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 2: kept posting YouTube videos about Tesla. He asked them to stop. 376 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 2: The Tesla employee said, this is my private time and 377 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 2: my private use, and I'm going to continue do it. 378 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,920 Speaker 2: And Elon finally turned off his Tesla. And the guy said, 379 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 2: I went that morning and tried to get in and 380 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 2: the machine didn't work. And then you realize the fine 381 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: print when you buy the machine. Yes, you buy the 382 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 2: sixty thousand dollars, That machinery is yours, but the technology, 383 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 2: the software is always Tesla's. Just the way YouTube can 384 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 2: kick you out of your account and Facebook can shut 385 00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 2: you down, Tesla can shut you down. And that guy 386 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 2: I was shut out of his Tesla, he had a 387 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: sixty thousand dollars piece of metal sculpture in his driveway. 388 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 2: And you say, well, huh, the fossil fuel industry can't 389 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: necessarily do that, right, I mean, gas cars are one 390 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 2: we don't have to worry about the electric grid, and 391 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 2: two we don't have to worry about getting shut out 392 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 2: of our system. So there's an autonomy in that that 393 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: is thoroughly American, thoroughly beautiful, that the autonomy of the 394 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: fossil fuel car. But now you kind of see why 395 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: the statists love electric vehicles because they that you are 396 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 2: in not relying on the fossil fuel industry, which is 397 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 2: in the private hands. You're relying on government because our 398 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 2: electric grid comes from the government. And you know what, 399 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 2: if Sean Parnell is acting up and we don't like 400 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 2: the things he's saying, maybe he doesn't get to drive 401 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 2: his car that day. Maybe his electricity was turned off 402 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 2: for twenty four hours until he deletes that tweet. And 403 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 2: that is a very scary prospect. But that's genuinely happening. 404 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: Well, and they did it during COVID, Like you said, 405 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 1: like if you looked at some of the people out 406 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: in California that maybe like bucked the system and said, 407 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,480 Speaker 1: you know what, I don't believe any of this crap. 408 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: I'm a free American. I'm gonna I'm gonna have people 409 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: over to my house or I'm gonna allow my kids 410 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: to play outside. You saw the government in California turning 411 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: off water and turning off electric at a home, at 412 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: homes that didn't comply, and when you look at you 413 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: know you can't. It's if you're not supposed to even 414 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: talk about this stuff. But if you look at how 415 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: the Democrats desire control and how they pervert and corrupt 416 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: every institution. If they controlled you know, the energy sector completely, 417 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: in the oil and gas industry completely, they would one 418 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: hundred percent weaponize it. Like look at like even in 419 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: Democrat primaries, I mean, Democrats essentially rig their own primaries 420 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:44,919 Speaker 1: through a super delicate system. Everything to them is about control. 421 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: And it seems like this. This is why, this is 422 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 1: why this discussion, Daniel is is so important to me 423 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: because I think it's the last frontier. It's it's it's 424 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: one of the last few remaining battles that we have 425 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: to win because you know, being energy independent and embracing 426 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: fossil fuels, I mean, frankly, like all of the above 427 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: energy strategy would would work for me. But let's not 428 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,479 Speaker 1: pursue green energy at the expense of oil and natural 429 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: gas and even in some places coal. You know, because 430 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: if you drive through western Pennsylvania and you actually care 431 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: about the people of this state, and by the way, 432 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 1: many of whom are you know, blue collar union Democrats 433 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: that come from a blue collar union Democrat family, And 434 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,440 Speaker 1: in fact, there's a tweet that's pinned to your profile 435 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: right now on your Twitter that shows one of those 436 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: dilapidated towns that blew away after the coal industry was 437 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: decimated in their area. Drive twenty minutes through western Pennsylvania 438 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: in the country and you'll see five or six towns 439 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: just like that. These the things that the radical left 440 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: are doing, hurt people. They in the energy policy that're pursuing. 441 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:57,360 Speaker 1: And then look no further than to California, Daniel, where 442 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: they have rolling blackouts in the summer. And now they're 443 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: talking about I think I just saw I read a 444 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: headline the other day about how we might have blackouts 445 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 1: in certain areas of the country throughout the summer because 446 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: their over reliant on windmills and solar. It's all of 447 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 1: this is just so crazy to me that people buy 448 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: into this at all, and. 449 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 2: The ones who suffer the most when these blackouts happen 450 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 2: are the very people the left claims to care about. 451 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty one, New York was having a heat 452 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 2: wave in the middle of August. The electric grid couldn't compete. 453 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 2: They have to make the human decision of shutting off 454 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 2: certain areas of the grid to protect its overall integrity. 455 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 2: And what neighborhoods did they shut off. They shut off poor, 456 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 2: predominantly black neighborhoods in Brooklyn. The upper west Side was fine, 457 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 2: the upper east Side soho, Tribeca the cool neighborhoods. No 458 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 2: one talks about that when Gavin Newsom does this in 459 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 2: California regularly. You never hear a Kardashian say how they 460 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 2: lost power, right. You never hear Silicon Valley talk about 461 00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 2: how their grid was shut off. It's nameless, powerless, voiceless 462 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 2: people who always suffer. And to show this is true 463 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 2: bipartisan stupidity because it is. I mean, Texas is almost 464 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 2: leading the charge when it comes to wind. Texas Republicans 465 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 2: have bought into the lie that wind power works just 466 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 2: as well as fossil fuels. They've shut down a tremendous 467 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 2: amount of coal plants, and they've put up hundreds of 468 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 2: thousands of acres of wind turbines. But when they had 469 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 2: those terrible winter storms in twenty twenty one, the wind 470 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 2: turbines all were shut down because that's what happens in 471 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 2: the freezing rain, and close to seven hundred people froze 472 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 2: to death in their homes that night, and they weren't 473 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 2: seven hundred politicians' kids. 474 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 1: Right. 475 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 2: They weren't seven hundred famous cool Austin hipsters who have 476 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 2: organic yogurt bars, right, They were seven hundred powerless, voiceless, 477 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 2: nameless people. And we all say, oh, that's too bad, Wow, 478 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 2: that's tragic. Seven hundred people died. But seven hundred people 479 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: died because Republicans in Texas shut down reliable coal, reliable 480 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 2: natural gas because the government threw hundreds of millions of 481 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: dollars at them for wind turbines. And I gotta tell you, Sean, 482 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 2: if Republicans in Texas, the fossil fuel capital of the world, 483 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 2: if Republicans in Texas will buy into the green lies, 484 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 2: then then all of America is absolutely doomed because wind 485 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: does not work, solar does not work. I mean, we 486 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 2: can get into that conversation as well, but they don't. 487 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 2: And anyone who tries to pretend they do is talking politics. 488 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 2: They're not talking engineering, science, hydrocarbons, et cetera. So it's 489 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 2: the failures of these systems. The pain it inflicts on 490 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 2: people is tremendous, and we're all supposed to just pretend 491 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 2: that it's not happening. Again, likening it to COVID, the 492 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 2: damage we inflicted on millions of people, children who still 493 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 2: can't speak and read and write properly. But we're not 494 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 2: supposed to talk about that because there was the greater 495 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,120 Speaker 2: good that the state wanted, and that's all we should 496 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: focus on. 497 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: God Man, Daniel, you're so good at this, and I 498 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: meet very few people people that can articulate themselves like 499 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 1: you and not just that and understand the actual industry 500 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: and if you spent I come from an energy family. 501 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: You know, my father worked in nuclear energy for the 502 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: Navy and helped build reactors for on aircraft carriers and 503 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: on our nuclear submarines. And he talked all the time 504 00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,399 Speaker 1: growing up about that and the important importance of energy. 505 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: And you know, we saw we saw coal fired power 506 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: plants in the state of Pennsylvania. You know, we saw them, 507 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: rather than go out of business, innovate and transition their 508 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: plants to be able to produce natural gas. And they 509 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 1: were wildly successful doing it. And I'm so glad that 510 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 1: you talked about that. I mean, there are so many 511 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: different components to why American energy dominance is so important, 512 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: but how it disproportionately affects lower income families is so 513 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: important and it's and it's not talked about enough. You 514 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 1: you talked about just like the governments shutting off power 515 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: to poor neighborhoods when the grid can't tolerate it. But 516 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 1: it's like if you are spending more to fill up 517 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:13,239 Speaker 1: your car with gasoline, and companies are spending more, you know, 518 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,200 Speaker 1: to ship commodities to grocery source, all of that costs more. 519 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 1: Who does that affect the most? I mean when you know, 520 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: when it costs fifteen hundred dollars a month to heat 521 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: your home because maybe you're you've got all electric heat 522 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: and you're making two thousand dollars a month. Maybe as 523 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: someone who's a lower income single mom who's trying to 524 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: provide for her kids. How it doesn't affect the multimillionaires 525 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: they live their life, you know, with no impact whatsoever. 526 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: But it affects the very people and the towns that 527 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 1: they shut down in the first place. And the less 528 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: response is, oh, you know what those coal miners who 529 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: by the way, you know, like people who've been working 530 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: in the energy industry, and I know that you know this. 531 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: These are legacy type jobs. I mean a lot of 532 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: these poles were coal miners because their father and grandfather 533 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 1: were coal miners before them. It's just what they do. 534 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: And then the Left just turns around and says. 535 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 2: Especially in your co world, especially the afside of the world, 536 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 2: it's legacy families. 537 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely, And I'm sick and tired of the Left pretending 538 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: to represent these lower income families and they're the ones 539 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: that are hurting them the most in the first place. 540 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: And Daniel, I got to ask you, how did so 541 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: where do you where do you come from? And how 542 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 1: did you get into all of this? I mean, you've 543 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: got a story from New York City. Originally, I'm from 544 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: New York City. 545 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 2: Originally I have been in the DC world for two 546 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 2: decades doing your standard DC political stuff from campaigns to 547 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 2: pr to et cetera, et cetera. And around four years ago, 548 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,479 Speaker 2: five years ago, when I started this organization, these battles 549 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 2: were really bothering me, the lies of the environmental left 550 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 2: and really, more than anything else, the damage that it 551 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: was doing to rural communit unities. And I also then, 552 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: you know, moved out to rural Virginia. I started my 553 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: my sheep farm, so I started to identify a little 554 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,720 Speaker 2: more with rural values than than urban values. But I 555 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 2: got so tired of the lies the environmental left told, 556 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 2: not just about climate change, but the lies they told 557 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 2: about the fossil fuel industry and the disdain that they 558 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 2: had for them. I remember one of my my tipping 559 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,840 Speaker 2: points was when I saw Michael Bloomberg with Christine Legard, 560 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 2: the head of the the IMF, I believe, and she 561 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 2: they were at some build of Berg conference, you know, 562 00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 2: wearing goat heads and sacrificing animals whatever they do with 563 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 2: those weird conferences, and and and he was talking about 564 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 2: the coal industry in particular, and he said something that 565 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,000 Speaker 2: I'll never forget, and your your, your wonderful audience can 566 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: find it on YouTube. He said, you know, we can 567 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: find something else for them to do. But he talked 568 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 2: about how their jobs have to end. And I thought, boy, 569 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 2: there's so much to unpack there. Like we, the cool 570 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 2: ones on stage, the powerful, rich ones, we can find 571 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 2: something else, right, because it's you know, I don't care 572 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 2: that this is their legacy, their their culture, their their 573 00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: their love for their dignity. It's like, no, I can 574 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 2: just find something else, learn to code, right, That's basically it. 575 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 2: This disdain they have for rural values. And so I 576 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 2: felt like I had to jump in the fray. And 577 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 2: just the way you've run for office and you're jumping 578 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 2: in the fray with what you do. I felt like 579 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 2: I couldn't be a sideliner. And so I wanted to 580 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 2: start an organization that I didn't have to be tethered 581 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 2: by donors and shareholders and members. You know, these huge 582 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 2: trade associations in DC. A lot of times yeah, and 583 00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 2: I'll even cut Exxon Mobile and and VP some some 584 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 2: slack here. A lot of times their corporate comes in 585 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 2: VP of Compliance, people say, you know what, if we 586 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: just shut up and write a million dollar check, they're 587 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 2: not going to throw any more bricks through our window. 588 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 2: So let's just do that. And and it's it's the 589 00:31:56,120 --> 00:32:00,560 Speaker 2: wrong idea, but I can understand it. I can understand 590 00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,720 Speaker 2: that you just you don't want to deal with this, 591 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 2: try to buy them off. But you can buy off 592 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,680 Speaker 2: the communists, right, And so I wanted to start an 593 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: organization that I could say the things that needed to 594 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,440 Speaker 2: be said without fear of being canceled, without fear of 595 00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:17,080 Speaker 2: being told, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, You really can't say that, 596 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 2: Because I do believe we're fighting. We're fighting the forces 597 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 2: of evil. The fossil fuel industry has made life better, right, 598 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 2: just like I was saying that, you know, those fires 599 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 2: are what happens in nature. Unless you control nature, what 600 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 2: happens in the world is an awful place. Being alive 601 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: is terrible. But fossil fuels have given us medicines and 602 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 2: air conditioning and movement and cultivation of food and rubber 603 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 2: and plastic. And I'm wearing contact lenses and this microphone. 604 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 2: And the fossil fuel industry and the economy it built 605 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 2: has given us dignity and life expectancy has grown and 606 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 2: we're not dying of dysentery at twenty two like people 607 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 2: did not very long ago. And so I don't see 608 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 2: this industry as something that is bad for the earth. 609 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 2: I see it as something that is wonderful for humanity. 610 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: And the Earth is. 611 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 2: Adapting absolutely fine, and it needed some defenders. And so 612 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 2: I jumped in the fray to defend because they are 613 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:17,560 Speaker 2: relentless and if we don't defeat them, they're never going 614 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 2: to stop. And you know, D Day was a couple 615 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 2: of weeks ago. John Kerry likened the D Day to 616 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 2: our battle for climate change. I like in D day 617 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 2: to my battle against communists like John Kerry. They're the 618 00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 2: ones who are destroying humanity and they need to be stopped. Man, 619 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,280 Speaker 2: you're getting me fired up. Man, I completely agree. And 620 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 2: you know, I first of all, I love it. I 621 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 2: love what you're doing. You know, it's incredible, and I 622 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 2: just think like part of the problem. I think you 623 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: spoke directly to part of the problem and what I'd 624 00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 2: like to see happen. Or a lot of these oil 625 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:58,040 Speaker 2: and gas companies, I feel like, especially the big Titans, 626 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 2: they should they should investing in you know, the cities, 627 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,240 Speaker 2: inner cities, or trade schools where we can educate our 628 00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 2: youth about everything that you just said. Because the reality 629 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 2: is is what I noticed very clearly, a lot of 630 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 2: these young kids, many of whom are conservative, they're they're 631 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,200 Speaker 2: they they're brought up through school to be taught that 632 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,560 Speaker 2: fossil fuels are gonna run out, or that they're somehow bad, 633 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:26,800 Speaker 2: or they just they just have like an association foss 634 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 2: fuels bad. 635 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,520 Speaker 1: We've got to change that. And you know, you there's 636 00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: a company that's right here at Deep Well. It's it's 637 00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,800 Speaker 1: an amazing company. It's a small oil and gas company 638 00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: headquartered here in Zellianople. They helped me sponsor this podcast, 639 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: but they're they You know, if you were able to 640 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: go into the inner city and say to kids like listen, 641 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: you come out. You know you have to go to 642 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: college and and you know, talk to parents, Hey, if 643 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: you don't want your kid and doctrinated in college, because 644 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: that's what's gonna happen. You know, they can go work 645 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: in a small company like deep Out in their first 646 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: year make fifty grand a year, and then after five 647 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:07,280 Speaker 1: years make two hundred and fifty grand. It's tough work, 648 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,359 Speaker 1: but it gives people the sense of upward mobility. And 649 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: why I guess I'm what I'm building to is why 650 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,959 Speaker 1: can't we invest in programs like that that go out 651 00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: to the community, community engagement and try to educate people 652 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: on why fossil fuels are so important and why if 653 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: we want to continue to be free and live exceptional lives, 654 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: why don't we invest more in an educational proponent. 655 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and we do this at the state level. I'm 656 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,919 Speaker 2: the head of this organization, but our most effective work 657 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 2: is at the state level. I would love to have 658 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 2: someone in Pennsylvania one day who's this is their whole 659 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,959 Speaker 2: mission is outreach to the people of Pennsylvania. Five hundred 660 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:57,000 Speaker 2: thousand people work in oil and gas and coal in Pennsylvania. 661 00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 2: And you got to figure those five hundred thousand people. 662 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 2: A lot of them are guys, a lot of them 663 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 2: are married, a lot of them have brothers and moms 664 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,280 Speaker 2: and dads. So when you add all those people together, 665 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 2: I mean, you've run campaigns and you know how to 666 00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,040 Speaker 2: do this type of you know, like digital outreach. When 667 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 2: you add all those numbers together, you're talking about a 668 00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,319 Speaker 2: really large group of people that you need to vote 669 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 2: as a block and that you need to advocate as 670 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 2: a block and say we're not going to lose these 671 00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:23,919 Speaker 2: these important jobs in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania because our 672 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,200 Speaker 2: legislature wants to jump in bed with the Greens. So 673 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 2: I'd love to have someone in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. 674 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 2: But this is what we're trying to do is absolutely 675 00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,400 Speaker 2: outreach at the local level. The Biden administration right now 676 00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 2: is talking a lot about environmental justice and they're targeting 677 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 2: the inner city community. What's the most racist thing you 678 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:41,759 Speaker 2: could do? 679 00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: Then? 680 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,879 Speaker 2: Then then force these folks into higher electric bills, less 681 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 2: reliable grids, right like how much how much more less 682 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,080 Speaker 2: dignity are we going to afford these people by by 683 00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 2: convincing them that, you know, if you trust the government 684 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 2: will protect you from the big, bad fossil fuel industry. 685 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,040 Speaker 2: Whereas the only way those a lot of those communities 686 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 2: rise out of poverty is through starting a small business. 687 00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,399 Speaker 2: But you can start a small business if you can't 688 00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,239 Speaker 2: afford the electricity. You can't start a small business if 689 00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 2: you you know, can't afford to ship your goods and services. 690 00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 2: And all of that requires inexpensive energy. And it's why 691 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen we had the best economy on record 692 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 2: because oil you said, gas was under two dollars a 693 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,520 Speaker 2: gallon nationally it was. Oil was at fifty dollars a barrel. 694 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 2: It's now, you know, thirty five dollars cheap more expensive 695 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 2: now or thirty dollars more. And since since energy was 696 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 2: so inexpensive, you had surplush cash to buy things to travel. 697 00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 2: It was the record year for hotels, record years for retail, 698 00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:48,760 Speaker 2: record year for restaurant associations. Why because life was cheap 699 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 2: and Americans they don't save enough. I'll give them that, 700 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,880 Speaker 2: but when they have cash, they spend it. But no 701 00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,480 Speaker 2: one has cash right now because you're paying thirty percent 702 00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,480 Speaker 2: more for your electricity and it's just going to get 703 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 2: higher and higher and higher and higher. And when people say, well, 704 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 2: are we going to be bankrupt? America going to be destroyed? No, 705 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 2: but we're gonna have the roaring economy of Spain. And 706 00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 2: I don't want to be Spain. And people are like, 707 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,400 Speaker 2: don't knock on Spain. That isn't knock on Spain. I 708 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,200 Speaker 2: don't want to be a mediocre, quasi socialist nation where 709 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 2: the vast majority of our thirty five year old men 710 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 2: are sitting at a coffee shop debating soccer, right, And 711 00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 2: that is the European mentality. And that's why Americans they 712 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 2: go when they scrape their head and they're like, does 713 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,120 Speaker 2: anyone hear work? 714 00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,080 Speaker 1: Like how we all just sitting at a cafe at. 715 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,000 Speaker 2: Noon on a Tuesday because the state gives them a 716 00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 2: ton of money and they have a large they have 717 00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:46,360 Speaker 2: a laziness, a complacency, and they're insignificant on the world stage. 718 00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:49,920 Speaker 2: And that's not America. We've never been an insignificant country. 719 00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:52,440 Speaker 2: And that's what we will lose, and we will lose 720 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,239 Speaker 2: it to China, who will be the world's dominant. They're 721 00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:58,680 Speaker 2: already win in our cultural wars. Right, Disney can't make 722 00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 2: a movie without kissing Jijingping's rear end. Right, they're winning 723 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 2: our athletic wars. Heck, the Saudis are winning our golf wars. 724 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:11,040 Speaker 2: So we're already losing some of our cultural things. Why 725 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,320 Speaker 2: because the Saudis are out buying us with their oil money, 726 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 2: and the Chinese are out buying us because we're buying 727 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 2: all their stupid, ineffective wind and solar panels, and so 728 00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:27,040 Speaker 2: we're making our adversaries, our enemies replace us. 729 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: It's mind bog wow wow. I mean, Daniel to your 730 00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: point and then I'll let you go.
