  Speaker 1: Prosperity dot com. Unleash Prosperity dot com. Steve Moore, how
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you doing him?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Mark? I'm doing pretty well, hoping, hoping that we get
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: this conflict over with in a victorious way in Iran
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: so we can get back to three dollars gallon gasoline.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: But I'm doing pretty good about I think we're going
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to see a change in direction in the economy back
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: toward the prosperity we had in Trump's first year. And
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: that just means, you know, we're going to see gas
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: prices fall again and we'll bring inflation down. So that's
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: that's my read on things.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Now let me ask you a question. If the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: price of oil goes up, Democrats yelling, scream that this
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the price of oil going on, worst thing you could
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: do to people. It's crushing them, it's kicking Yet at
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the same time, they have done everything they can to
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: raise the price of your elected exactly.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Isn't that the truth? So they you know, they want
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: more taxes on oil. They tried to remember they had
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: a policy of they want to net zero, so we
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: would use no oil, gas or coal in this country,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: which would have been Can you imagine how much we'd
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: be paying today for gasoline if they'd eliminated American output
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: and they have not allowed drill but baby drill, we'd
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: be paying eight dollars a gallon for gas. So you're right,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: there's a hypocrisy on the left. They keep saying, oh,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: look at this, Trump's causing un four dollar gallon gasoline
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: four fifty dollars.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Wait a minute, you're.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: The ones who want You don't want people to use gas,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: You don't want people to use oil. Anybody who thinks
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: we can we can power this country. You know, with
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: all the manufacturing we have with steel, the technology sector,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: our farms use a lot of injury. We're gonna do that.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: We're a thirty trillion dollar economy. We're going to power
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: all that with windmills.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: But the other thing they did, everybody's electric bill was
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: one hundred bucks a month. Now it's four hundred because
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: of all their green scheme and regular climate. Yes, so
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: why don't they bring our electric bill back to one
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: hundred like it used to be.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way, if there's a good comparison,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: if you look at red states that use you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: you know, coal and oil and gas and nuclear power,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: they pay on average half as much for electric power
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: than New York and California and New Jersey and my
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: home state of Illinois. By the way, California is an
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: especially interesting state because that has the highest gas taxes
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: in the country. They pay like a dollar fifty more
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: per gallon of gas than every other resident of every
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: other state. And yet there's no state in the country
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: that has more oil and gas than California, maybe other
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: than Texas. So it's not like they don't have it.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They have abundance of resources. They just won't go after it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm trying to Steve Moore. Hey, this is a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: crazy mayor, mom, Donnie, you know, he gets elected, I'll
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: tax the rich, tax the rich. Tex Well, now that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he's putting together some of these tax plans, they also
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: seemed to tax the middle class like crazy, how did
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that happen?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Well, let's the you know, a joke about the robber
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: you know, banks, and he said, that's where the money is.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: The truth is the money. The money is in the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: hands of the middle class. This is the middle class country.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: So if you want to if you want to have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: a social system, you're going to have to go after
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: people make between seventy five and two hundred thousand dollars.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: And that's where the mass number of Americans are. You know,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: there aren't that many billionaires in the country that you
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: can flee, so that's why they always go after the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: middle class.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it's just awful, you know. And also he's
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: talking about lowering the estate tax. You know, you don't
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: pay any estate tax up to seven million. He's going
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: to bring that down to seven hundred thousand, so most
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: families if you want to the killer, yeah, killer. You
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: know what will happen is people we're already seeing this.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: You know, we're seeing millionaires and billionaires moving out of
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: New York, they're moving out of California, they're moving out
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: of the highest tax states and you could go to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you in others.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Why would you die in New York. Let's say you
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: have fifty million dollars, Why would you die in New
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: York and then pass on, you know, half of that
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: money to the state and the federal government. When if
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: you die in Texas, you're not going to pay any
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: estate tax.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: But also seven hundred thousand that's uh, you know, you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to leave your house to the.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Middle Yeah, exactly, that's that's most middle income people. You know,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: my upper middle income people, after you know, forty years
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of working have amassed more than seven hundred thousand dollars
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: in well, I mean that's a house by the way.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I hate Steve Moore. You know, all the all
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: these New Yorkers are moving to Florida. They're all moving
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: to Florida. So I noticed that in Palm Beach they
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: just elected a Democrat to this legislation. Miami just elected
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: a Democrat mayor. Is this the result of all these
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: New Yorkers moving there? They' getting these Democrats elected everywhere?
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I think there's just a backlashers, you know, against
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Republicans right now. People are angry about prices. The war
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: is not that popular. But you know Trump, Trump is
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: is rebuilding the American economy. He's putting America first. We're
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: doing incredible things on deregulating economy. We're seeing you know, drill, baby, drill,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Thank god, we're doing that's that's we're not By the way,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: did you know this? We the United States now, for
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: the first time in fifty years, we're producing more energy
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: than we consume. So we're actually a net exporter of
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: oil and gas. We are also, you may, I don't
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: know how many of your listeners are aware of this,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: because I was surprised when I saw the statistic. The
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: United States now actually we are a net exporter of
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: oil and gas. In other words, we produce more and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: we're the number one country in production, surpassed Saudi Arabia
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and Russia. We are the number one powerhouse and energy.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Wow. So yeah, when it comes to Straits of Horror, Moose,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: we don't need any of that oil coming out of there.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It's notation.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: We need to realize that that. You know, I'm old
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: enough for remember Mark, You know, when I was a teenager,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: young teenager in the seventies and my parents would would
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: pack pack us up at seven in the morning in
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: February and we get in the state old station wagon.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I bet a lot of your listeners don't even notice station.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: And then we would we would get we would drive
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: to the little local service station. We'd be ninth in
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: line to get gas because we had gas lines back then.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And that was because of the Arab you know, the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Iranian Hassis situation. And all we've seen is these flare
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: ups in the Middle East all the time, and then
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: we get these big spikes and oil. So what we
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: need to do is really make sure that we are
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: no longer dependent on the Middle East for energy because
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: they're not a reliable source.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, this could be over in a few weeks
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and then.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I hope so, and what what if, by the way,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: once once that happens, by the way, Mark, I guarantee you,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: within three or four weeks, we'll be back to the
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: gas prices which were a record loan wonder Trump when
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: you adjust for inflation. So Trump had us on an
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: incredible course because of the disruption in the Middle East.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Prices spike, But I'm hearing to tell you they're going
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to come right back down when we get this result.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Hey, Steve Moore, the hotline you put out every day,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: they just go to Unleash Prosperity dot com. You can
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: sign up for it. Yesterday a great story about Fetterman.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: You know, the Democrats are so far to the left,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: so yeah, but uh huh is Fetterman the guy that
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: maybe in two years will lead them back to the middle.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, Federman is sounding more and more rational,
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: and he's calling out Democrats saying, just because Donald Trump
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: wants to do something doesn't mean its evil. I mean,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: there's so there's so much Trump derangement syndrome on the
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: on the left that you know, he's calling out his
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Democrats saying, look, we can agree with Trump on some things,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: but you know that Charlie uh, Chuckie Schumer and the
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Democratic leaders in the House, they're just reflexively against everything
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Trump wants to do. And they're the ones, by the way,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: that have created these long lines in the airports because
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: they want to create havoc and mayhem because they think
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: that hurts Trump. I mean, how cynical is that to
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: make people wait two hours in line at the airport
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: so they can score political points.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So you're right now. You're a guy that flies
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: all over the place. Yeah, hopefully you won't have to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: go through that this week.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: But well, you know, I'm going to may say one
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: last thing on the way out, Mark, I I because
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I do travel a lot. I'm on the road a
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: couple of days a week, and I'm flying through in
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and out of airports all the time. And by the way,
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I haven't really confronted too many problems except for one airport.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: But when I see the TSA agents, I go up
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: and I shake their hand and say thank you, thank
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: you for working. There are a lot of dedicated TSA
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: agents who are working without a paycheck now for almost
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: a month. And they're the heroes in here. And the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Democrats in the Congress who want to create the chas
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: there are the vic there are the villains in this
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: and there's no reason. By the way, I'm also in
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: favor of letting you know, ICE agents help out at
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the reports. That's reducing lines. But the number cuss against
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: that too.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Oh hey, I want the ICE stations to go to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: motor vehicles next take over that line.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: That's a great idea, Mark, I love it.
• 9:17
