I do 22 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Federal authorities are investigating a possible terrorism incident 23 00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: in New York after two suspects through improvised explosive devices. 24 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: At least that's the way they looked and turned out 25 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: to be. Live at a protest near Gracie Manchin. That's 26 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: where the governor lives. I'll discuss that in more detail 27 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: and the issue of future attacks here in America. Also, 28 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: five years after a twenty twenty Arizona GOP let the 29 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: election investigation concluded there were. 30 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: No significant irregularities. 31 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: The FBI is now conducting a criminal probe in Maricopa County. 32 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 1: Love details on that coming your way and then later. 33 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: The global markets are reacting to the war in the 34 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: Middle East as oil prices surged, causing falling around the globe. 35 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: And that's exactly where I want to start for today. 36 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: Global financial markets have slid sharply as oil price has 37 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: surged to nearly one hundred and twenty dollars a barrel 38 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: overnight amid the escalating conflict in the Middle East, sparking 39 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: fears of higher inflation and economic strain. Spike and energy 40 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: costs has pressured stocks around the world, with major indices 41 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: in the US, Europe, and Asia all falling. 42 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: The jump and oil has dampened hopes of rate. 43 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: Cuts and highlighted broader concerns about lasting inflationary pressures and 44 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: slower growth. Now, this could spell bad news for the 45 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: GOP in the midterms, which is why it requires our 46 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,520 Speaker 1: immediate attention today Jimy to discuss. This is the CEO 47 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 1: of Ricky Rockets Fuel Centers, Prairie State Energy, and GOP 48 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,919 Speaker 1: primary candidate for Illinois Governor, Rick Heidner. 49 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 2: Rick, nice to see you today. 50 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 5: Good afternoon, Steve. Thank you so much for having me on. 51 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. Look in doing my homework, here's what 52 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: I discovered. We do not have a supply and demand problem. 53 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: We have great reserves of oil and gasoline currently and globally, 54 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: and yet somehow the oil company is over and I 55 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: pushed the price of oil to one hundred and twenty 56 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: dollars a barrel has now stood back to ninety four 57 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: dollars a barrel. But it is frankly indefensible mathematically speaking 58 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: from where I stand, I'm no expert. 59 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 2: You are. What are we seeing here? 60 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 5: Well, you know, this seems to happen every time there's 61 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 5: some kind of a conflict or some kind of something 62 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 5: that goes on with the tanker or whatnot. There's always 63 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 5: a knee jerk action. It always spikes way too high 64 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 5: and then it comes down. I think that the world 65 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 5: oil market and the United States oil market should be 66 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 5: doing everything they can to support our president that's trying 67 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 5: to you know, neutralize, you know, the Middle East and 68 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 5: make it so that we have a safe generational access 69 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 5: instead of someone like Iran in their regime using oil 70 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 5: as a terrorist tool. So for me, for me, especially 71 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 5: when I saw Dakota to one hundred and nineteen dollars 72 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 5: this morning, and I see that it's calmed down to 73 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 5: ninety four dollars and seventy five cents. But you know, 74 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 5: they really need to be I think, more respectful to 75 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 5: the president. I really expect him to call him out 76 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 5: soon if they don't, if they don't do something to 77 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 5: be more realistic. 78 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems to me ninety four dollars seventy seven cent, 79 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: so it's below ninety five. It's it's fading throughout the day, 80 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: still up for the twenty four hour period. But look 81 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: to me, my guess is with this kind of manipulation, 82 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: because that's what this is. This is speculation, manipulation and 83 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: panic playing into this market or perceived panic. 84 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 2: There's no real problem with the state of Hormuz. 85 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: Yes, the traffic is stopped by about ninety percent, but 86 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: oil tankers are not being sunk, though strait is not closed, 87 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: and let's be honest, it's still just twenty percent of 88 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: the world's oil and we only get four percent of 89 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: our oil from the Middle East my understanding, So yes, 90 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: I think the president should call out the oil companies 91 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: that will likely post record profits because of a stunt 92 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: like this. 93 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 5: Your thoughts, well, it's definitely happened in the past when 94 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 5: we've had tragedies and then when they report their earnings, 95 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 5: they're off the charts records, and to me, it's unbelievably 96 00:04:55,160 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 5: disappointing for the world right now, or especially for us 97 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 5: here in the United States. I mean, we need to 98 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 5: really prop up our president with this. Who's not going 99 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 5: to back down. I mean, the biggest tragedy that we 100 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 5: could ever have is for us, And believe me, I 101 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 5: don't believe he'll ever do It would be for him 102 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 5: to make a mistake like we did in Iraq and then, 103 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 5: you know, twelve years from now, have one of his 104 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 5: sons fix it. So I don't want to see that happen. 105 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 5: I don't believe for one second it'll happen. And I 106 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 5: really really want to support our president and make sure 107 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 5: that he understands, you know, for our stations We're just 108 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 5: trying to not raise the price as little as we 109 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 5: can so that the people here aren't suffering with what's 110 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 5: going on in the market. 111 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: Right, you own the majority of your stations are an Illinois. 112 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: You own one in Texas, if I'm not mistaken. So 113 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: you sell gasoline, you're involved intimately in this. In this situation, 114 00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: every time oil spikes, little gas goes way up, and 115 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: then it's real slow going down. I mean, I've heard 116 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: people complain about this my entire life. Rick, They're like, 117 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: why did my gas prices go up so far? It's 118 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: on to somebody yesterday they saw gas it's six seventy 119 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: nine in California yesterday outside of San Diego. I mean, 120 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: that's that's unconscionable. And now I realize in California a 121 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: lot of that has to do with taxes and so forth. 122 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: But Illinois's high tax state. Michigan's a high tax state 123 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: where I live, and so we get punished even more 124 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: than others when the price goes up. 125 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 2: It's time to stop these games. Now. I don't know 126 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 2: what that means, Rick. 127 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,559 Speaker 1: I don't know how you reel in these energy companies, 128 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: but this is a money grab. 129 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 2: But you also pointed out something else very important. 130 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 1: It's also, in my opinion, the globalists trying to kneecap 131 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: Trump because they don't like him, because he's restructuring the 132 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: order not just of oil, but of economic order in 133 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: the world. 134 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 2: They don't like it, do they. 135 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 5: Well, you know, I want to address that if you 136 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 5: don't mind, and then sorry, we're going to jump around 137 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 5: a little bit. But I'd like to see a Democratic 138 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 5: candidate run on something other than Trump. Trump Trump. Okay, 139 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 5: all I ever hear on all these commercials is every 140 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 5: single Democratic candidate coming on saying how they're going in 141 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 5: the office to fight Trump. You know what is wrong 142 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 5: with these people? Where are their policies? Well, they're failed policies, 143 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 5: that's the problem. So they can't run on policies. So 144 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 5: this is the only thing that they have to run on. 145 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 5: And shame on them. Shame on them, because this man 146 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 5: is trying to stop terrorism. Terrorism in these people's own countries. 147 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 5: They're terrorizing their own citizens. I can't imagine what it'd 148 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 5: be like to go out of my door every single 149 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 5: day and be scared to death, and be scared to 150 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 5: death of something I said or something that I believed 151 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 5: in you. You know, here in Illinois, we're getting closer 152 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 5: and closer to that, and I don't want it to 153 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 5: be that way. 154 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 2: Yeah. I think your governor there, JB. Pritsker, is going 155 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: to take all. 156 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: The wonderful things he's done for Illinois and try to 157 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: take it on the road and become president. 158 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 2: I think that's almost a certainty. But Illinois not. 159 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: Exactly a showpiece of how policies should be implemented, is it. 160 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 5: Well, I'm running here because I can't even believe he's 161 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 5: running for a third term. And if he wants to 162 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,439 Speaker 5: take the road show on and go on Jimmy Kimmel 163 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 5: and The's Colbert and all that, and again, all he's 164 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 5: screaming is Trump, Trump, Trump, anybody that somebody that the 165 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 5: Democrats want to hear, is all he says. As far 166 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 5: as I'm concerned, he's ruined our state and now he 167 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 5: wants to ruin our country. 168 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I just saw a brand new poll 169 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: from NBC Rick shows that, believe it or not, despite 170 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: the best efforts of the legacy media, the Democrats have 171 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: much lower ratings of approval than Republicans today. So if 172 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: the Democrats are taking their victory lap in March. It's 173 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: real early. I don't know how Iran's going to play out. 174 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: I don't know what's going to happen with the regime there. 175 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: It's terrorized the region and the world for forty seven years. 176 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: But my position at the beginning of this conflict was 177 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump wasn't starting a war. 178 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: He is putting an end to one. After forty seven years. 179 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: We need to clean these things up and bring stable 180 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: governments to the Middle East. If the Middle East were 181 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: stable and you didn't have these ongoing skirmishes and wars 182 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: with Israel and Iran and Iraq and Syrian all of this, 183 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 1: the world will be a better place. And you mentioned 184 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: the citizens of Iran being murdered by the thousands, tens 185 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 1: of thousands by their own government. 186 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 2: America stands for human rights. 187 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: We always have and we've always interceded when we saw 188 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: populations being attacked. I think that's an important thing to 189 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: consider as well, isn't it. 190 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 5: Well, you know what, this is not a war on Iran. 191 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 5: This is a rescue of right. That's what it is. 192 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 5: President Trump is rescuing the citizens of Iran, and we'll 193 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 5: see it after we win this conflict, and we'll interview 194 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 5: when the people of Iran can actually speak. And I 195 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 5: have friends here that are Iranians and they tell me 196 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 5: and I've reached out to them, and they are so happy. 197 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 5: They are wanting their country to be free. They actually 198 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 5: would love to go back to their home countries to 199 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 5: visit without being in fear. So this is a restaurant 200 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 5: that Steve. This is not a war. This is a rescue. 201 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it certainly is. 202 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: And speaking of rescue, and this is where I just 203 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: feel the whole Western world has gone soft in the head. 204 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,599 Speaker 1: The women's soccer team from Iran currently competing in Australia. 205 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: They refuse to salute or sing the Iranian national anthem 206 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: when it came to They've been branded war traders by 207 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: the regime in Iran, and yet the nation of Austria 208 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: is fully considered sitting them back to Iran, where it's 209 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: a certain death penalty for them because they snubbed the 210 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,559 Speaker 1: Islamic regime there. 211 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 2: What is wrong with these people?

Look, we 314 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: don't know who came through the southern border. These are homegrown, 315 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 1: but we don't know who came through the southern border. 316 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:46,760 Speaker 2: We don't know who's here. 317 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: This homegrown terrorists that have been turned into this kind 318 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: of would be killer. But if those bombs had gone off, 319 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: very good chance people would have died. I mean it 320 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: landed at the feet of people in the crowd, and 321 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: you see here runs at the cops, jumps the fence 322 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: and away he goes. What are your concerns about domestic 323 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: terrorism after seeing this and what happened in Austin, Texas 324 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: here a week ago. 325 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,679 Speaker 7: It is shocking and scary and NYPD does such a 326 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 7: good job there, But The fact is, you know, we 327 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 7: were lucky that they ignited that and they hadn't made 328 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 7: the bomb correctly, it didn't go off. We know these 329 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 7: two very young men radicalized and their intent was to 330 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,800 Speaker 7: cause more casualties than the Boston marathon bombing of back 331 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 7: in twenty thirteen. The device is very similar in including 332 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 7: you know, bolts and screws and other things that like 333 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 7: like a big shotgun charge. It would have been potentially 334 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 7: devastating if this stuff. 335 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: Had gone off. 336 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 7: So of course, what are we concerned about, How did 337 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 7: these people get in, how did they get radicalized? What 338 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 7: was the online role of that? I think one of 339 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 7: them said that he had been inspired in his words, 340 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 7: by watching ISIS propaganda online. Then you also got to think, 341 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 7: who's come across the southern border that might be a 342 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 7: little bit better at making explosives. And then of course 343 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 7: we're hearing a different part. ISIS and Iran are two 344 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 7: different sets of problems. But Iran of course has put 345 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 7: out its call for its so called sleeper cells, which 346 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 7: would be run by the IRGC, to go ahead globally 347 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 7: and try to create problems. It comes back to the 348 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 7: fact that we've got some great counter terrorism vigilance, and 349 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 7: while are those men and women working hard right now 350 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 7: to keep us safe. 351 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: It's believed by people that know that the best counter 352 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 1: terrorism law enforcement agency in America is the NYPD. Following 353 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, they became very serious about it and 354 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: it became very skilled in finding these terrasts. 355 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: This one slipped through obviously. 356 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: And look, none of us doctor would be surprised to 357 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: see something like this again today or tomorrow or anytime 358 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: in the near future. We wouldn't be surprised to see 359 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: other attacks like we saw in Austin, Texas. And I 360 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: guess my only advice is to be vigilant, to be 361 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: situationally aware, because this is the state of things today, 362 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: isn't it. 363 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:12,320 Speaker 2: It is? 364 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,239 Speaker 7: And this is the very toughest kind to get of 365 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 7: the individuals. These individuals were in New York less than 366 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 7: an hour they crossed the bridge and did this. And 367 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 7: you know, the NYBT said they had really been aware 368 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 7: because there was going to be a protest and a 369 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 7: counter protest, and to them, that is a red flag 370 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 7: situation either of violence or in this case of individuals 371 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 7: taking the opportunity target of opportunity to go ahead and 372 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 7: do that and that's what's so difficult versus a sort 373 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,159 Speaker 7: of a long planned operation where there's a lot of 374 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 7: cyber indications. The big indicator, of course, with these gentlemen 375 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 7: was that they had traveled. At least one of them 376 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 7: had traveled abroad, and traveling to learn bomb making is 377 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 7: sort of a signature of ISIS explosive attacks that we've 378 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,639 Speaker 7: seen here in the US and in other over the 379 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,199 Speaker 7: past ten years. So I think we're going to have 380 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 7: to ramp up the vigilance on that travel to try 381 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 7: to get these radicalized young men. 382 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, and how do we get the attention of the 383 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 1: Democrats who still have the Department of Homeland Security shut down, defunded, 384 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,160 Speaker 1: same with the Coast Guard and TSA at a most 385 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: critical time when you know, alert levels are elevated, extremely 386 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: elevated in some places, and yet Democrats, led by Chuck 387 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: Schumer say they are not going to fund DHS. 388 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 2: This is reckless, is it not? 389 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 5: Well? 390 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 7: And Chuck Schumer of course of New York, ha King 391 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 7: Jeffries of New York, this, you know, DHS is part 392 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,479 Speaker 7: of our frontline defense. DHS is part of security writ large. 393 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 7: Just as we would not be shutting down the Department 394 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 7: of War at a time like this. We should not 395 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 7: be shutting down DHS for really, frankly, for political reasons 396 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 7: that make no sense when we're talking about protecting all 397 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 7: types of Americans. You know, all kinds of Americans were 398 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:07,800 Speaker 7: in that crowd around Gracie Mansion. We want everybody protected, 399 00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 7: and I can't believe that these politicians don't see the 400 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 7: urgency of that at this point. 401 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 2: It's pretty pretty shameful. I'll just use that adjective. Doctor. 402 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: Always a pleasure talking to you. I'm sure we'll talk 403 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: again soon. 404 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you. 405 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: All right, after the break, The FBI recently sees election 406 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,679 Speaker 1: records from Arizona's largest county as the agency's voting probe expands. 407 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: Remember when they told you there was nothing to see here, Well, 408 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 1: we're going to find out more details. 409 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: Coming up next on AVL. All right. 410 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: Five years after, at two twenty Arizona GOP led election 411 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: investigation concluded there were no significant irregularities, the FBI now 412 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,080 Speaker 1: conducting a criminal probe into Americopa County. According to John 413 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 1: Solomon at Just the News, the FBI is receiving gigabytes 414 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: electronic collection data. Now someone spoke with war room this morning, 415 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 1: describing the documents as explosive. 416 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 8: Here he is the focus in this grand jury subpoena 417 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 8: that went in the last few days to Americopa County, 418 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 8: seized many gigabytes of election data is the twenty twenty 419 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 8: four election, which is interesting because President Trump won there. 420 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 8: But there is a discovery that was made by Congressional observers. 421 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 8: Every year, the House Administration Committee sends observers, one Democrat, 422 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 8: one Republican to various voting centers. One of the teams, 423 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 8: the Republican Democrat team that went to Americopa County, observed 424 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 8: something very disturbing. They took pictures, they wrote a long report. 425 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 8: Congressman Amhammadate hinted at this in an oversight letter recently. 426 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 8: The information in that report was so troubling to the FBI, 427 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 8: and when coupled to the things that the Area Zona 428 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 8: Senate found in twenty twenty that were raised as concerns, 429 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 8: and the things that Hammaday and Kerry Lake raised in 430 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 8: twenty twenty two, they were able to get a grand 431 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 8: jury subpoena from a federal grand jury and execute the transmission. 432 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 2: Of a large amount of voter data. 433 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,160 Speaker 8: They're going to go through that data looking for some 434 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 8: of the telltale signs that were in this congressional report. 435 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 8: I hope in the next couple of days to make 436 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 8: that Congressional report public so everybody can see. 437 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot going on here with what John 438 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: Solomon is doing at just the news right now. 439 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 2: I strongly suggest you keep up with him. There. 440 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,159 Speaker 1: There are indications from John and others that it was 441 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: never Russia interfering without our election process, but rather the Chinese. 442 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:44,640 Speaker 2: We've talked about in this. 443 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: Program for the last few weeks, giving you some breadcrumbs 444 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: on this, but he said this is a five phase 445 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: look at states not following election law on prosecutions maybe forthcoming. 446 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: We'll keep you update is more develops, that is for sure, 447 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: because John's on top of it.

Just want to make sure U 514 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 1: nailed it? At any rate, Let's talk about this. The 515 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,479 Speaker 1: oil spiked almost one hundred and twenty dollars a barrel 516 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: in the middle of the night, right, it's now back 517 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: to about ninety four dollars as of a few moments ago. 518 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,120 Speaker 1: There is no mathematical reason for this to be happening. 519 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,639 Speaker 1: We have a large supply of gas and oil. We 520 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 1: have reserves that are tremendous in the United States only gets 521 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 1: four percent of its oil from the Middle East. And 522 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,080 Speaker 1: by the way, we're now seeing that chips are flowing 523 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: again in the strait of hormones. This was a money 524 00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: grab in my estimation. It was manipulated by the oil. 525 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 1: But it will have a big profit on this deal, 526 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: a huge profit. They a windfall off that because it 527 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: was false. 528 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 2: It wasn't real. 529 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 1: There's no mathematical resport supply and demand has not been 530 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,439 Speaker 1: affected at all by this war and iron ten days on. 531 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: I mean, you go from sixty seven dollars to one 532 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty, No, sir, that's rigged your thoughts. 533 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 6: Well, I have to point to Japan. They're the number 534 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 6: four economy in the world. They hold over a trillion 535 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 6: dollars of our debt and their interest rates have shot higher. 536 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,199 Speaker 6: The Bank of Japan Deputy governor Jimino He said the 537 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,760 Speaker 6: central Bank is expected to keep raising interest rates because 538 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 6: inflation is hurting them. The thing is they're an island 539 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,479 Speaker 6: and they have to import all of their resources, and 540 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 6: so if the straits closed, their economy has to pay 541 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty Some say it could get to 542 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty dollars a barrel, not just America. 543 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 6: So that I believe is really the demand supply equation, 544 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 6: more so even than America, since we do have a 545 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 6: drained yet still available strategic oil reserve. 546 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: Japan does it, yeah, And you're right, the Central Bank 547 00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: of Japan, the yen having real difficulties. Now nobody's talking 548 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: about that, but real difficulties. 549 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 3: Now. 550 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: They have a tremendous amount of money tied up in 551 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: America and if you try to unwine that, well, it 552 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: could unwind Japan and other economies around the world. 553 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 2: That part's true, isn't it. Yeah. 554 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 6: The fear is that they sell the treasuries that they 555 00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,840 Speaker 6: own to pay for these imports, which would obviously drive 556 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 6: our interest rates much higher, which would halt our housing market, 557 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,280 Speaker 6: our housing development market. I saw southern California an eight 558 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 6: dollars gallon oil. You know, takes one hundred dollars to 559 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,720 Speaker 6: fill a kia, making it really hard for people to 560 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 6: get to work. Retail trade is like five point three 561 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 6: trillion dollars annually of our GDP, so the ripple effect 562 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 6: would be dramatic in America, regardless of the cost of oil. 563 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,360 Speaker 1: Well, California did it themselves. I feel a little sympathy 564 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: for a state that has imposed taxes, fees, and other 565 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: regulations on its motor vehicles. 566 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 2: Look, the cost of oil, whether. 567 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: It's one hundred dollars a barrel or one hundred and 568 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: twenty or eighty, doesn't matter. The costmo barrel of oil 569 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: in the world markets the costo barrel of oil. And 570 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: yet California's routine late double the price of the rest 571 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 1: of the country. 572 00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 2: That's because California has bad policies. Am I wrong? No, 573 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:28,960 Speaker 2: You're absolutely right. 574 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 6: And Chevron's getting out of there after one hundred and 575 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 6: twenty years. My old state of Washington has the highest 576 00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 6: gas prices in the whole state per in the country 577 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 6: because of bad policies. But this doesn't help, especially in 578 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 6: Middle America where the oil is needed for manufacturing. And 579 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 6: then the age of artificial intelligence, data is considered the 580 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 6: new oil. And by the way, these high speed dram 581 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 6: memory chips are the containers. They take oil to produce 582 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 6: to bake chips. And if Japan and China cannot afford them, 583 00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 6: because remember China get they're oil from Venezuela and Iran 584 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 6: to countries offline to them, the demand for oil price 585 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 6: will go up, which will have ripple effects in everything 586 00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 6: from transportation to the manufacturing of. 587 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: Homes and hold on Steve, Yes, sir, that would be 588 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 1: true whether or not there was a pinch on the 589 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:20,720 Speaker 1: oil supply, that would be way. You're going to have 590 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,760 Speaker 1: a higher domain, right, That's my point. It has nothing 591 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: to do with the war and Iran. To me, what 592 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: I see are these companies trying to decap the US 593 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: administration because they don't like President Trump. They don't like 594 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:37,000 Speaker 1: a reorder of the world economic pathways, including Venezuela, including Iran. 595 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 2: They don't like it a bit. 596 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,520 Speaker 1: And so when the oil companies, who I think are 597 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: acting in bad faith, I'll just say it. I think 598 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: they're acting in bad faith and sticking it to the 599 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 1: American consumer and punishing US for electing Donald Trump. In 600 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: many ways, I think there's a lot of truth to 601 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 1: that you say. 602 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 6: I can only point to the Straits of Hermus, which 603 00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 6: is twenty five percent of the global oil supply, affecting everybody. 604 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 6: So I ran as using their one weapon that they 605 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 6: have less because their missiles obviously didn't but they don't 606 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 6: have targets. 607 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: The navies at the bottom of the ocean. They're navies 608 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: at the bottom, and they don't have much left to 609 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:11,959 Speaker 1: block that straight or horbones. 610 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: I just watched live graphs. 611 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: The ships are moving again on the straight of hormones. 612 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,479 Speaker 6: That's why oil has come back down from one hundred 613 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,560 Speaker 6: in change. I'm talking macroeconomics, and if this continues for 614 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 6: a long time, I ran not being able to supply 615 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 6: or allow ships to go through their straights. 616 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 2: This could cause a huge problem. 617 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 6: I'm in favor of much lower oil prices, of course, 618 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 6: because i want the economy to do great. 619 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: I'm just telling you the worst charter. 620 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,880 Speaker 1: Fair enough, good conversation, Steve Abramowitz. Greatly appreciate you being here, sir. 621 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 1: We'll talk again.

I think it's a 629 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: cash grab. I think the oil companies ought to be 630 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,600 Speaker 1: ashamed of themselves for what they did here. All right, 631 00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 1: That's where I am with it. Now, don't go anywhere. 632 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: America's Voice Live will continue for a short break where 633 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,360 Speaker 1: I'll discuss a recent study that rates the mortality and 634 00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 1: ethics of twenty five different countries. 635 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're going to be surprised for America ranks coming 636 00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 2: up on. 637 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 3: Abl running on empty brain FuG can't focus, and those 638 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 3: sugar loaded energy drinks, Sure they spike you fast, then 639 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 3: crash you hard.

And you know, the whole home ultimately 684 00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 10: forms the morality of the parent, the morality. 685 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 4: Of the kids. And you know, you've got to have 686 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 4: mom and dad in the home. 687 00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 10: The complimentary role of mom and dad forming kids is 688 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 10: not as frequent and as present as it has been historically, right. 689 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:23,280 Speaker 4: And we also know that faith decline has followed family decline. 690 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,839 Speaker 10: I have a study out, the Nationwide Study and Faith 691 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 10: in Relationship showed that the rise in single parent homes 692 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:36,960 Speaker 10: preceded and very likely caused the rise of religious non affiliation. 693 00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 4: And so historically, Steve, you know you. 694 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 10: Had places of worship coming alongside parents helping to form 695 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,319 Speaker 10: the morality of our kids. And both those things are 696 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 10: less and less prevalent than they have been in the past. 697 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:53,480 Speaker 1: Well, that's true, and there has been a resurgence in 698 00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: church attendance the last twelve to twenty four months by 699 00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: many metrics, but compared to her, it was twenty five 700 00:36:59,040 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 1: years ago. 701 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,880 Speaker 2: No, the drop off is dramatic. Now, there's some reasons 702 00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 2: for that. 703 00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:04,920 Speaker 1: You go back to it by nineteen sixty five, and 704 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,040 Speaker 1: you see that the government started replacing churches, where churches 705 00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: would come in and help homeless people. Are those less 706 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,320 Speaker 1: fortunes of w that's all been replaced by government. Fathers 707 00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,400 Speaker 1: have been replaced by government also dating back to nineteen 708 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: sixty five with the Great Society not so great after all? 709 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 2: Is a JP And I can just keep snowballing on this. 710 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: You go to the mid sixties, A lot of bad 711 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 1: policies came from LBJ that are haunting us today at 712 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,200 Speaker 1: my estimation, what are your thoughts? 713 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 10: Look, Steve Marvin Alaski's book I think you're hitting on 714 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 10: goes into that a lot. In the early nineties Tragedy, 715 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,480 Speaker 10: The History of American Compassion unpacks the history of how 716 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,840 Speaker 10: America churches really provided the bulwark of charitable help and 717 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 10: support and that did start to get replaced with with 718 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,280 Speaker 10: the New Deal, and then accelerated with the Great Society programs, 719 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,320 Speaker 10: and then for sure you had the Great Society replacing 720 00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,279 Speaker 10: dads in the home in so many ways. So that's 721 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 10: a big deal. You also had the sexual Revolution, Steve. 722 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 10: The decoupling of sex from marriage began in nineteen sixty 723 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,320 Speaker 10: and you started to have them the decoupling of marriage 724 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,080 Speaker 10: from parenting and parenting from partnering. 725 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 4: Right. 726 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 10: And so today you've got just forty six percent of 727 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 10: all kids today who reach the eighteenth birthday do so 728 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,720 Speaker 10: in a home where mom and dad stay continuously married. 729 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 10: Right in our churches, so eighty percent of everybody sitting 730 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,160 Speaker 10: in church is from a married home. 731 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 1: And so that's important. But here's the part that we 732 00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:37,960 Speaker 1: haven't touched on. I've only got a minute or two 733 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,239 Speaker 1: left here, and I want to make sure you telling 734 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,160 Speaker 1: you education plays a role here when you continue to 735 00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:46,919 Speaker 1: pound down the throats of kids that America is bad, 736 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 1: when you allow Howard Zen books into the classroom. The 737 00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,480 Speaker 1: People's History of the United States was a complete work 738 00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,840 Speaker 1: of fiction and exaggeration and hate filled Marxism. When those 739 00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,239 Speaker 1: books are used to educate our children, Howard Zen, it's 740 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: not a it's not a historian. He's a criminal fiction writer, 741 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: in my estimation. And we need to get rid of 742 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,360 Speaker 1: that garbage and start teaching kids about why America is exceptional. 743 00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,719 Speaker 1: Are we perfect by by no means? But we are 744 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: the most exceptional nation in the history of this world, 745 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:19,480 Speaker 1: the most compassionate too, the most diverse as well, and 746 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,080 Speaker 1: a whole host. 747 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 2: Of other things. We need to talk about education real quickly. 748 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,880 Speaker 2: Last word to you, I don't disagree. 749 00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 10: Look, our educational system has become heavily indoctrinated in so 750 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:32,400 Speaker 10: many ways or or textbooks we are taught to frequently 751 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:33,720 Speaker 10: in our in our schools. 752 00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 4: My uh niece, who was at a nearby. 753 00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:40,799 Speaker 10: Public school was had that Howard zimbook as a textbook. 754 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:44,000 Speaker 4: So so that's absolutely And. 755 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,760 Speaker 10: Politics is the polarization of our politics is also driven 756 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 10: by the decline of our faith and the decline of 757 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:53,839 Speaker 10: our of our marriage. You know, you could sort by 758 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 10: marriage your politics, and you can sort by your church attendants. 759 00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,000 Speaker 10: You know they call it the God gap. All these 760 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:03,640 Speaker 10: things hugely interrelated. You're right on completely agree on curriculum. 761 00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:04,879 Speaker 10: That's a big factor as well. 762 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I have two uses for the Howards in books. 763 00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 1: Number one, line of bird cage.

Now, Herb, I'm gonna 826 00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,520 Speaker 1: go ahead and disagree with you, but that's okay. You're 827 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: allowed to be wrong. Jody God, No, not concerned. Maybe 828 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 1: it's Jody from Georgia anyhow, No, not concerned. They were 829 00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: even higher under Obiden, and I trust our president has 830 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:40,359 Speaker 1: a plan. As a reminder, oil was one hundred and 831 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: thirty nine dollars a barrel under Joe Biden for those 832 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,879 Speaker 1: that don't remember, one hundred and thirty nine. 833 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,080 Speaker 2: Now it's back to eighty three. 834 00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: So a pretty good hour here on the program, abs 835 00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 1: as I am. Because we can't afford five dollars a gallon. 836 00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:58,400 Speaker 1: What we'll do to groceries we haven't recovered from Biden. Also, 837 00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,720 Speaker 1: we have agreed problem because we don't have a supply 838 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:06,520 Speaker 1: problem exactly right. Wallstreet needs a come upance. I think 839 00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:11,040 Speaker 1: the oil companies need a little come up and a 840 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 1: little direct phone call from DJT John Hogan. No oil 841 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:19,400 Speaker 1: shouldn't be up at her all. Iranian oil was under sanctions. 842 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: Not a single tanker has been targeted more or less 843 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 1: hit during this military action. It's all based on unjustified 844 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,040 Speaker 1: fear and manipulation.
