  Speaker 1: Hey everybody, welcome to Vance on a Friday. Great to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: have you with us as always. Are there threats to
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the First Amendment? Well, yeah, there sure are. It's not
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: what CNN talks about.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Ms.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Now's not talking about them. Politico's not talking about them.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: But we are. We're going to talk about the actual
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: threats to the First Amendment. I'm going to show you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: video footage of what it actually looks like as a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: conservative reporter attempts to tell you the truth about government
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: spending and a man tries to murder him for doing it.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I've got the details on that coming up on the program. Also,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: the president of the United States is speaking out about
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: all of these various terror attacks lately. Are those connected
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: to Iran? The president gives us the latest intel on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that subject. And we'll also take a deep dive today
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: into energy. There's a lot of lying going on about
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the state of American energy, the cost of everything, why
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: it's gone up. We'll explore that in a moment. We'll
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: tell you the truth about all of it. I've got
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: a great guest joining us soon, Daniel Turner, who will
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: give us some really important details about the price of diesel. Everyone,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're a truck driver, you know you've
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: been suffering this. Why is diesel so expensive? The actual
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: truth on that subject is coming up on this program.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Don't miss it. You'll be well equipped to have that
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: conversation with everybody you meet. It's all ahead on this
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: edition of Vince. Great to have you with us on
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: a Friday. It's Friday. We made it. Coming up on
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: the program, we got a lot to get to. But first,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you about Blackout Coffee, which powers
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: me up, not just on Fridays, but every day. You know,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: there are some things you buy because you have to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: buy them. And then there are things you feel so
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: freaking good about buying. For me, that's Blackout Coffee. It's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a small American company built by people who work hard,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: believe in this country, share our values, and happen to
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: make some seriously good coffee. And every morning when I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: pour that first cup, I know what I'm getting. I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: know exactly what I'm getting. It's strong, smooth coffee, never bitter,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: fresh roasted, packed with flavor, delivered right to my door. Honestly,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: so good and so much better to make a great
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: cup of coffee at home than go stand in line
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: at some store where you load it up with a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: bunch of nonsense to mask the flavor of their coffee. Uh-uh, no.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Great coffee doesn't need all of that. You don't need
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a bunch of sugar. You don't need hundreds of extra calories.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: It should taste great on its own. Blackout Coffee does.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They keep it so simple. It's great coffee, great people,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: an American company doing things the right way. If you
• 2:20

  Speaker 3: Boom.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, blackout coffee is very good. Pitch black espresso is
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: what I go with. And I do whole bean. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: it's great.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Let's see. I want to talk to you about a
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: real threat on the First Amendment. You know, this past
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: week or so, the media has been engaged in the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: most preposterous navel gazing exercise that we've seen in. Well,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a week or so. It just keeps happening, doesn't it?
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: As CNN and then Ms. Now and Politico all got
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: the boot from the office space at the White House,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: making them, well, like the rest of us. We can't
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: all waltz into the White House in any moment. But
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: a judge interfered with all of this and said the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: president has to welcome them back in to the White
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: House complex. They have a First Amendment right to be there.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: It's kind of crazy. Okay, well, then can the rest
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: of us go?
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: No.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: We have the First Amendment, too. It doesn't have to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: make sense. Anyway, they don't have office space for a
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: little bit, and they go crazy. Now, the president, of course,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: has never relented in being transparent. The guy answers phone
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: calls from the media. He's constantly available. He's always doing
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: press conferences. There's no shortage of opportunities for the president
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to answer questions from the media, hostile or otherwise. But
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: that has been represented as the most dire attack on
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the First Amendment that we've seen in a lifetime. That's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the way the press has been distorting that. You ready
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to see an actual threat attack on the First Amendment? Yesterday,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a reporter by the name of Joe Sokol is in Bangor, Maine,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: covering the vast amount of federal taxpayer money that is
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: flowing into something called the Bangor Comprehensive Treatment Center. It's
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a methadone clinic. Methadone is a kind of a low-dose
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: opioid used to try and abate opioid addictions, but it's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: a drug. that's administered at this methadone clinic. And Joe's
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: outside covering just the sheer amount of taxpayer money that's
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: been going there. And as he's doing this standup report,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: standing in front of a camera, a man drives his
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: vehicle over to Joe, opens his window and begins confronting him.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And in the video footage you're about to see, Joe's
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: a little confused why the guy is confronting him and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: gets him to basically leave. The guy leaves. and just
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: off camera takes a U-turn and then attempts to murder
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Sokol. Don't believe me? Take a look at the footage.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Cut one.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: We have somebody right now.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: How you doing, bud? You all right? Doing good.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: I'm invading people's privacy here. Confidentiality, you realize that?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I'm invading people's privacy? Yeah. by being in public with
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a camera and.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Doing a report? Yeah, videoing across the road.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: What can I do for you?
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So he's polite to him. And we have another person, um... Essentially,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: probably intoxicated. There is no way to tell.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: But what I will say is multiple people did get
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: in cars.
• 6:03
  Speaker 7: They.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: See, the camera goes flying.
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: 841 LZD.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: 841 LZD.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: 841.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: There's another angle there. You see the car... blast through
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the camera. Heads toward Joe. Joe jumps out of the way. Here, Joe,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it sounds like it's Joe on the mic. Are you
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: trying to intimidate me? Off the property right now.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: And we have cameras.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Off the property right now.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Don't touch me. I'm not touching you.
• 6:44
  Speaker 7: Get off my property.
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: Is that what you want?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Do you want an assault charge? What a day. What
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: a day. Now, now, Of course, you can hear it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: For those of you who are listening, I'll just give
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: you some more MS Ferrix here. Joe is standing across
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the street from this operation. He's not on the property,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: not until the end, by the way, when he's like going,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: what the hell's going on? That guy tried to kill me.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: For his report, he's standing across the street, got his
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: camera set up, standing in front of it, holding a microphone.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: This guy comes over to him, angry that he's even
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: doing any news coverage whatsoever on this subject. whips his
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: car around, blasts right through the camera, Joe uninjured because
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he dives out of the way of the car that's
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: careening towards him. And then you hear him start to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: cite the license plate number as the vehicle is driving
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: away in the video. It's a Maine license plate. He
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: begins reading out the license plate number. Now, we know
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: at this point that the cops there in Maine do
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: have all of this information. We haven't seen an update
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: as of, it's 8.09 a.m. Eastern time this morning. I
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: haven't seen an update to suggest that this man has
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: yet been arrested. But we did get some, we have
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: actually received a bunch of updates from Mainwire, which, by
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the way, is a phenomenal publication. If you live in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Maine or if you care at all about the way
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: that the government is acting inside of that state, the
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: way your money is being spent inside of that state,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you should follow the Mainwire. They're doing incredible reporting of,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I would say, national consequence, but with this very intensive focus,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: of course, on their state. That's their home state. It's
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: a great operation, the main wire. And they released a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: statement yesterday. Steve Robinson, their editor, released a statement. The
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: statement is kind of fun because, yes, it is a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: very serious threat, but they also kind of, they're busting
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Joe's chops a bit that he had to experience all
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: of this. Here's what Steve Robinson said, he said this morning,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: main wire reporter Joe Sokol was confronted by a driver
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: while reporting from public property outside of Bangor Comprehensive Treatment Center,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: also known as Discovery House. According to Sokol, the driver
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: recognized him as a journalist and tried to strike him
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: with a vehicle to stop his reporting. We are pleased
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to report that Joe is safe, unharmed, and considerably harder
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: to kill than anticipated. Unfortunately for the driver, the good
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Lord equipped Joe with the reflexes of a cheetah. That
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is good. That is good to have the reflexes of
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a cheetah. And the professional instinct of a man preserves evidence.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Joe avoided the vehicle by swiftly dodging toward the direction
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it was heading, utterly outwitting the seemingly intoxicated driver and
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: outstanding performance under pressure. Exactly what the main wire says.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Legend as it, his heart rate never exceeded 75 beats
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: per minute. Team Robinson's medical department has not independently verified
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: this statistic. We stand by it spiritually. But he does
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: go on to say the following. He goes, Joe was
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: there to ask questions about a methadone clinic that, according
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to the Maine Wires reporting, has received roughly $ 25 million
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in taxpayer funding via Medicaid.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: $ 25 million.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: This is essentially a taxpayer-funded drug dealing operation at the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: heart of Bangor, Maine. We will continue to investigate this organization,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: its enablers, and the employees who appear to be accessories
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: after the fact rather than good Samaritans. And then he
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: goes on to say that they've provided the Bangor Police
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Department with all of the information they intend to continue
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: to cooperate fully. with their investigation. They will provide the
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: vehicle information, the identity of the driver, his social media history,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: the VIN number on his vehicle, his romantic history, our
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: account of what happened, and our opinion as to what
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: should happen to the driver and the taxpayer-funded methadone slingers
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: who helped him become intoxicated before getting behind the wheel
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: of a vehicle. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Team Robinson. That's the editor over at the main wire.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Steve Robinson with an at times cheeky statement on the subject.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: But his reporter clearly in the line of fire. The
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: guy tried to plow through him. And luckily, Joe's able
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: to dive out of the way. In fact, Steve did
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: offer a video update on what exactly went down yesterday.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: And I think in this video, he notes that media
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: figures like yours truly are were covering this yesterday. I
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: was posting about it on social media. I was saying
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: the cops need to catch this guy. Meanwhile, the legacy
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: press was straight up ignoring this actual attack on the
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: First Amendment. Here's Steve Robinson yesterday.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Steve Robinson, editor-in-chief of The Main Wire. By now, I
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: suppose most of you have seen the news. I almost
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: had to hire another reporter in Bangor. I don't think
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: you guys really sympathize with how hard it is to
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: find good help, especially in the Bangor area. And if
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: I'd lost Joe today, that would have been a huge,
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: huge pain in the ass to me. But in all seriousness,
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: glad to see that Joe is happy and healthy. And
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: of course, the media is reacting to this exactly like
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: you would expect them to. The real media that exists
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: on X is responding to this with horror because this
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: was an attempted, targeted act of violence towards a journalist.
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: But the rest of the mainstream media, the legacy press,
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: the People who, you know, went to Columbia and think
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: journalism is some high priesthood, they probably don't even realize
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: that this has happened yet. The last time Joe was assaulted,
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: or maybe it was the time John Featherston, another main
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: wire journalist, was assaulted with a skateboard, the Maine Press
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: Association wasn't even aware of it until we published, I think,
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: maybe three or four articles calling attention to the fact
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: that they weren't aware of it. So you've got pretend
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: reporters writing pretend stories about stuff that just doesn't matter
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: at all. Meanwhile, Joe Sokol is doing a report from
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: a government-funded drug dealing operation. That's what this place is.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: It's a methadone clinic that's received $ 25 million since 2018
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: in Medicaid money to give drugs to drug addicts, methadone.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: They call it harm reduction. Doesn't look like there's a
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: lot of harm being reduced in that area. These are
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: drug dealers subsidized by the government and they targeted Joe
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: because they wanted to reduce attention on this. And I
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: actually had a phone call with the individual driving the car,
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: the assailant, the man who attempted to murder Joe. And
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: he told me that he was deeply familiar with Joe's
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: reporting because Joe has been reporting on poverty, drug addiction,
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: and crime in the Bangor area. He'd seen a lot
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: of Joe's videos, and he knew exactly who he was
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: talking to.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: All right, thank you. So there's Steve Robinson. I'll play
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: some audio from that phone call in just a moment.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: But on this point, on the amount of money that's
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: gone into this clinic, and it is true. He's right
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: about that. You, by virtue of your paycheck, money is
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: coming out of your paycheck and paying for drugs that
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: are being given to people in Maine, certainly in other
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: places in the country as well. And it's been described
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: as harm reduction. But as Steve Robinson rightly notes, it
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: hasn't actually improved the quality of life in Bangor, Maine,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: has it? And It's like these needle exchange programs where
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: people are given needles in order to shoot up.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: What?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: That taxpayer funded? Yeah, that happens. And here's the numbers.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Mainwire put this out yesterday. They say that facility has
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: received Medicaid funding up until 2024 that amounted to about
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: $ 21 million. The Mainwire is saying further funding has led
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to about almost $ 25 million. And you can see it
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: ramps up with each passing year.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: 2018, $ 1.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: 3 million. And then it goes up every year. 1.8, 2.1, 2.6, 3.2, 4.6,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: $ 5 million in the year 2024 going into a drug operation.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And the main wire thought that you should know about it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: They're just trying to report on it. And for that,
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a man tried to kill their reporter. That man did
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: get on the phone with Steve Robinson. Now, you know, look,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this dude's situation is. It sounds
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: like he's fallen into drugs at some point in his life.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: There's something, of course, very sad about the state of
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: his life. No question about it. But there's also no
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: question about the fact that we just saw him try
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: to kill a reporter on camera. Steve Robinson gets him
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: on the phone, and apparently the guy thinks that he's
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: talking to the cops. Steve didn't mislead him. The guy
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: just starts rambling on and on like he thinks he's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: talking to law enforcement. He wasn't. He was talking to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Steve Robinson, the editor of The Main Wire, and this
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: is what it sounded like.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm calling for Ryan. Yes, this is.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: Is this the Ryan who tried to run over a
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: reporter this morning in Bangor?
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Uh, no. This is the Ryan that supposedly tried.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: To run over.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: That's a crock of shit.
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: What's a crock of shit?
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: That I tried running him over.
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: Okay, can you describe what you saw?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Have you seen the video? Yeah. What happened on the video?
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, I just backed in, turned around, drove across the grass.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: Okay.
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: And you didn't see him there on the grass with
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: his tripod reporting?
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was right there off to the side.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Had you just gotten methadone at the clinic?
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: No.
• 16:26
  Speaker 9: No.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: So why were you at the methadone clinic?
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: Because I'm a patient there.
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: So you're a patient there, but you hadn't just gotten
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: methadone that morning?
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: No, I didn't because I just went and talked to
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: him and things went whatever.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, so I.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Mean, come on, I just pulled up.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I was very polite and talking to him.
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: He was quite ignorant.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, as it shows on the video. He's got
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: no right doing that.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: That's not okay. All right, enough. So he does, of course,
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: have the right to report on how federal taxpayer money
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: is spent. He does have the right to stand on
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: a public street. He does have the right to stand
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: at some great distance actually from the building. and do
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: a stand-up in front of it. And you don't have
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: the right to try and kill him. And of course,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the guy's lying on the phone to what he believes
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: to be law enforcement, saying, oh, I just turned around
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: and I drove across the grass. I saw him, but
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: I was just driving across the grass. No, you were
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: aiming your car for him and his equipment. You struck
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the equipment. You missed him. Thank God. Now, the news
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: coverage on this, does it exist? Kind of, not really.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Some of the local Bangor and broader Maine outlets have
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: begun to cover it this morning. That's mostly after a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: lot of browbeating from the rest of us going, are
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: you going to cover this story? It just happened in
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: your own state. Are you going to cover the news?
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So some of that's happening now. Over at Newsweek, they've
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: got a weird headline on this subject. Conservative Maine reporter.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I want you to know it's conservative, so it prejudices
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: your understanding of the story immediately. Conservative Maine reporter nearly
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: run over after clash outside clinic. Clash? What was the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: clash that they're referring to? What are they even saying?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Did they see the same video you and I saw?
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: I saw the video. Joe was polite. The guy seemed
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: a little agitated. Drove off. What clash are they referring to? Then,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: of course, he turns around and the clash begins as
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: he attempts to kill the reporter. What is this other
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: than deception? What is this? I'm just looking at this
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: headline going, this doesn't even bear any resemblance to the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: video I just saw. It was a clash.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Okay. Great.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Great. Way to cover it, fellas. Way to really get
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: on top of that story. Yeah, no. This is exactly
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. And, you know, this gets back
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: to a bigger issue. that the media just are loath
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: to talk about at all, which is the assassination culture
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: that exists on the left. Now, I don't know if
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: this guy's a voter, if he spends any time voting
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: for the Democrats, but I do know that there is
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: a Democrat assassination culture out there that's very casual, that
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: is way too pervasive, and is very interested in using
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: violence as a way to achieve their political ends. And
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious. I mean, Charlie Kirk was killed by this.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: very thing. President Trump's been shot in the head by
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: this very kind of violence. You've got the people who
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: were behind President Trump, two of whom are now dead,
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: murdered by this. It's disgusting. It's absolutely disgusting what we've seen.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And it is far too pervasive and it's at crisis levels.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: We've talked about it here on this program but again
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: these other outlets it's like crickets you can't get them
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: to even cover it you can't get them to acknowledge
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: it although fearmonger like crazy about how somehow donald trump
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: is going to invoke the insurrection act you see that
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: this week donald trump does a time interview and they
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: ask him are you going to invoke the insurrection act
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: going into the election And he's like, well, I'm not,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: people keep asking me to. I've never invoked the Insurrection Act.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: And then what do they want with the headline? They say, oh,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump doesn't rule out invoking the Insurrection Act. They'll say,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: are you going to send ICE agents to the polls?
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Is that happening? And he says, I haven't thought about it.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump doesn't rule out sending ICE agents to the polls.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: These people are psychos. These people are scandal-mongering psychos who
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: can't even begin to tell you what's actually going on,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: where the threats are coming from, and why they're at
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: crisis levels. It's amazing. It's just amazing. So this is
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a big commentary on the media in so many ways.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: And the reality that if you try and tell the
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: truth in America, it could cost you your life. It
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: could cost you your life. And Joe Sokol, thank God,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: survived an attempt on his yesterday. An amazing story. Anyway,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: follow the main wire. give them the support they deserve
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: because they're actually doing real reporting and they deserve to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: be consumed. So that way you can become smarter about
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: what's going on in your world, going on in your country,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: how your money's being spent. That seems to matter a
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: great deal. More from the president of the United States.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: In a moment.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get some audio from him because he's
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: being asked about a number of things. One of them
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: is that botched execution in Tennessee. The president of the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: United States has a reaction to that. And also these
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: multiple terror attacks we've seen over the course of the
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: past week, attempted terror attacks. Is this all connected to Iran?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: The president has some thoughts on that subject. And we've
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: got to get to energy prices. We've got a lot
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: more to discuss all ahead on this edition of events
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: on a Friday. Great to have you with us as always.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Our great sponsors help power the program. And today that
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: includes chapter. Chapter is great. Let me ask you something
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: really simple, not a political question. When was the last
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: time you looked at your Medicare plan? not the card
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: in your wallet, the plan itself, because you see it
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: changes every year, what it covers, what your prescriptions cost,
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: whether your doctors are even still in it. And 70%
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: of people never go back and actually check. Now, when
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: you signed up, you didn't make a bad decision. You
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: made a fine decision back in say 2021, which is
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: why you should trust Chapter. They're the only Medicare advisors
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that actually compare every plan nationwide. Chapter's independent advisors are honest.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: They're not paid to push one plan over another. They
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your zip code, your
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: unique situation. Just call them 316-835-9955. Talk to Chapter. Now,
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: if you're already on the right plan, they're going to
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: tell you that. And if you're not, they'll help you switch.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: And people who have switched with Chapter last year, they
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: saved an average of $ 1, 100 on health care costs. It's free.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: It's under 20 minutes. That's 316-835-9955. Talk to Chapter. 20
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: minutes to find out you were right or 20 minutes
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: to fix it. Chapter, 316-835-9955. Thank you, Chapter, for supporting
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: our program, taking care of people. All right, so let's
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: take you through some of the president's remarks yesterday. Busy
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: day yesterday. Here's the president of the United States on
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the issue of Tennessee and this woman who survived It's
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: so crazy. I swear she should be studied. What the
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: heck's going on? Her name's Krista Pike. Krista Pike. The
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: state of Tennessee was supposed to put her to death
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: by lethal injection. They made two attempts now, two nights ago.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: She survives the whole thing, and now the state has
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to pay for her medical treatment to recover from her
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: death penalty administration?
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: What?
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Here's President Trump. It shouldn't be that difficult.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Watch. Well, that was an interesting situation, but you're going
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: to have to speak to Tennessee about it. whether or
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: not they're going to go forward.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: You know what that was about.
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: That was an execution where the medication didn't exactly work.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: He would answer it better than anybody.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: How does that happen?
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: He's a great doctor. It should be easy to do.
• 24:05
  Speaker 6: It shouldn't be very difficult.
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: Dr.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Ronny Jackson, now congressman, standing next to him. He goes,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: he knows.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: He knows.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It should be. I don't know how many people Dr.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: Ronny Jackson has killed, but I do know that he
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: is a real doctor, so he knows how to administer
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: medication at a reasonable level. But if he ever needed
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: to at an unreasonable level, he said it would be
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: very easy to do that. It would be very easy
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: to do that. And by the way, when you're administering
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: medicine or any sort of chemical in a death penalty situation,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think there is such a thing as an
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: unreasonable level. This is one of the things I thought yesterday.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: I was like, why don't they just overdose her? I
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, people are dying due to fentanyl every day
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: in the United States of America, although those numbers are dropping,
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: thanks to the president of the United States. They couldn't
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: OD her on fentanyl? Is she still alive? What the
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: hell's going on? It's crazy to me. Anyway, in Tennessee,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you know what they've done. The Tennessee governor, Bill Lee,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: has paused all state executions now after this botched attempt
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: and announced that they're undergoing a comprehensive third-party review of
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: what went wrong. Save the money, Governor. I'll tell you
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: what went wrong. You didn't use guns. That's what went wrong.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: This is pretty straightforward. I don't think this requires a
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: taxpayer-funded third-party investigation to get to the bottom of what's
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: going wrong with the death penalty in Tennessee. Firing squad.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: Firing squad would be the way to resolve this particular problem.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Just maybe use, you know, something tried and true instead
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: of this nonsense that's designed to try and make everybody
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: feel better about an execution. when in fact it doesn't
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: actually work and then it makes everybody feel awful. So, what?
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Firing squad, that'll help. That's an obvious thing. Also, the
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: president was asked yesterday about these terror attacks. We've had
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a series of them. One, of course, a thwarted terror
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: attack in the United Kingdom where some terrorists were trying
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: to attack an air base that contains American aircraft, American
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: bombers that are being used in the conflict in Iran.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: And then subsequently, of course, there was that terror attack
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: on the flight Dubai airliner, which was destined for Tel Aviv.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: And then that became complete chaos when the co-pilot stabbed
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the pilot and attempted to crash the whole plane. Thank
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: goodness for the passengers on board and the pilot's ability
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: to get that door open so that everyone could retake
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: the plane. A series of miracles happening in midair. But
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: here's the president yesterday, first on the flight Dubai thing.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: He was asked... Was Iran specifically involved in this? Cut five,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: here's the president on that subject. First of all, first.
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: Of all, has anybody briefed you about whether or not
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: the guy, the pilot of the flight we buy, please,
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: is linked to Iran?
• 26:52
  Speaker 6: We're working on it right now.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: They're being very open with us.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I would say the answer, based on what I'm hearing,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: is yes.
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: But we're working on it right now.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: So this guy might have been either put in there
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: by the IRDP or radicalized some other way, and then
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: he tries to take down the plane.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Could have been, yeah.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Could have been, yup. Could have been, yup. You know,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: when we talked to JD Vance earlier this week, I
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: asked him about this. I was like, who's in charge
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: in Iran? Because, you know, the president of Iran sits
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: down with Fox News last week with Bret Baier and
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: Bret says, hey, are you actually in charge or is
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: the IRGC doing whatever the hell it feels like? And
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: the guy doesn't answer the question. He keeps dancing away
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: from the answer to that question. It certainly starts to
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: seem like, which of course it has seemed like that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: for a while, that you've got these radicals, deeply radical
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: people inside of that country that who are doing whatever
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the hell they want at every stage. And so it's
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: very hard for the United States, for the Trump administration,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: to engage in any sort of negotiation that's actually going
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to result in an authentic outcome when you have this
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: many disparate forces, all in disagreement, and some of them
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: very radical, who are taking very radical means to try
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: and upend any chance of peace. That seems to be
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: what's happening here, including committing terror attacks against an Israel-bound country. airliner. Now,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the president is saying, based on the intelligence he has
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: access to, better than the stuff I have, that he
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: believes that this is connected to Iran. He does believe that.
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: He also says the same thing about the UK terror plot,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: where we've seen Iranian nationals. We just saw an Iranian
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: national arrested yesterday. Another one. This is a sixth person
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: arrested associated with that terror plot in the UK. Here's
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: the president on that subject. Cut sex.
• 28:34
  Speaker 9: Ron was involved in the RAF Fairford failed terror plot.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: How will you respond?
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: It's looking like that.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: It's looking like that. It's looking like that. So, look,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: do I want that to be the case? Do I
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: want Iran to act crazy?
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I want Iran to settle the hell down. I want
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: them to have a great future. Wouldn't it be great
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: if they could take yes for an answer? Wouldn't it
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: be great if, as the president keeps extending olive branches
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: and saying, hey, I want to work with you, I
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: want you to have a great future, that they would
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: say yes to that? Yeah, it'd be wonderful. But they
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: keep choosing the lunatic options. The president says he's suspicious
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: of all these terror attacks on the basis of intelligence.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: He believes, yeah, I think they're both connected to Iran.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Not shocking. Totally appalling, though. What about energy prices, though?
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: What about the impact on energy? How much is the
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: war in Iran having an impact on us? I want
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: to get into the latest on that subject in a moment.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: I've got a great guest coming up. The great Daniel
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: Turner is going to be with us. I want to
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: talk to him about energy and the truth you need
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: to know about what's really going on. Because we started
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: the show, as we often do, talking about the media
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: distortions that are going on. And they're not even beginning
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to tell you half of the story on what's going
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: on with energy and the role that forces outside of
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Iran are playing on why energy prices have gone up.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: This is really important information. You're going to want to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: hear this and then you're going to tell everybody you
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: know about it. It's all ahead on this edition of Vince.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Before we get there, though, I want to thank the
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: great people over at Native Path for supporting this kind
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: of work, this kind of truth telling. We appreciate Native Path.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: You know, getting older, not something that bothers me, like
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: feeling a little bit wiser with each passing day. It's
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: the feeling older that's super annoying. You wake up stiff.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Your skin's not bouncing back the same way. It turns
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: out there's a reason for that. And this is why
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: I love Native Path Collagen. Collagen helps to support everything
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: from your joints and bones to skin and hair. You see,
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: the problem is after age 30, your body often makes
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: less collagen every year. And by age 60, so many
• 30:36

• 32:24
  Speaker 1: for details this week over on, uh, the CNN network.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: One of the lone voices of sanity over there is
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: a fellow called Scott Jennings. And he was on, uh,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: with Abby normal, you know, Abby normal. She hosts a
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: show on, on CNN for some reason. Uh, and, uh,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: And Abby Normal, they call her Abby Phillip for some reason,
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: she was saying that diesel prices are unaffected entirely by
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: refinery capacity. She's like, we don't even need refineries. Who
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: needs a refinery? This is the insanity that's being uttered
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: on CNN, and this is like the one guy telling
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: the truth. Watch this clip.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: Honestly, it's a silly argument, and it's not even true.
• 33:10
  Speaker 7: It's a silly argument. It's not even true that the
• 33:14
  Speaker 7: rise in diesel prices was driven by a lack of refineries.
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: That is not the reason.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Are you arguing that the Russian-Ukraine war hasn't knocked offline
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: a bunch of refineries? That's where a lot of it
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: comes from.
• 33:25
  Speaker 8: Scott.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: It's absolutely true.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: Scott, the last six months.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: During the course of this war. And by the way,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: as Ukraine has pressed further into Russia, they have absolutely
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: hit refineries.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: Scott, are you talking about domestic refineries? You are arguing
• 33:38
  Speaker 7: that a lack of domestic refineries led to a rise
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: in the oil and gas.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: I'm saying we absolutely don't have enough refining capacity. We
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: should build more refineries. What you're saying is not true.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Yes, exactly.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: What you're saying is not true. It's long-term and short-term.
• 33:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: You're arguing about six months. I'm arguing that Democrats have.
• 33:54
  Speaker 7: Argued against domestic energy forever.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: And now you want me to trust them on gas prices?
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I'm arguing it. It's not true. It's not true. It's
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: not true. Trump's responsible for everything awful. It's not true
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: that there's any other explanation. What is true? We're joined
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: now by the great Daniel Turner from Power of the Future.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: He knows all about energy. Daniel, great to have you
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: on the program, sir.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: It's too early in the morning to listen to this nonsense, Vince.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: I got to tell you, Scott Jennings does not make
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: enough money to have to put up with this programming.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: This is the moderator, right? So, so much for moderating
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: a debate between different.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Points of view.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: And, you know, what Abby is saying gets to the
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: heart of why I started Power the Future. The people
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: who make energy policy, and in this case, the people
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: who comment on energy policy, are so ignorant about how
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: energy is made and how it's produced and what goes
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: into it. that they are causing huge national security problems
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: as well as economic problems because their ignorance is getting
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: us into a lot of trouble.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Okay, so let me just frame this conversation around what's
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: happening to energy prices right now. Let's pretend for a
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: moment that the Iran war never took place this year,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: that there's nothing. Would we still be suffering a diesel
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: crisis right now?
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: It wouldn't be as acute, but we would definitely be
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: in problems because Diesel prices, oil prices are a global commodity.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: We can wish them otherwise, but they are. And I
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: compare it to things like wheat prices or gold prices
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: or other things that are traded on the international market.
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: If gold is having a spike for whatever reason, and
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: I go to South Korea, gold isn't cheaper there. It's
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: the same exact price, right? And it's the same when
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: it comes to oil. So if you take what's happening
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: in Iran off out of the equation, Russia and Ukraine
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: have still destroyed 50 to 60 percent of each other's capacity.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: Russia used to produce 10 million barrels of oil a day.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: It's producing around 8.2 million.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Barrels a day.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: That has an impact on global prices. Now, you can
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: say the Russian war, the Ukraine war is the good war,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: which a lot of Democrats do. And they have their
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: little Ukraine flag on their Twitter bylines. That's fine. That's
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: another conversation. But you have to own the fact that
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: every time you give Zelensky weapons and he blows up
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: Russian oil refining capacity and vice versa, it is impacting
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: global prices 100%.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Wait, wait.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: So you're saying that Chuck Schumer has responsibility for the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: current state of diesel prices?
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: Crazy that war impacts energy prices. And you can't say
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: one war is good, another is bad. And I will
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: own that what the president is doing in Iran is
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: impacting prices, 100%. Be silly to deny it. I'm not
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: going to be like Abbie Normal and pretend, no, that's
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: just not true, Vince. That's not true.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: What we're doing in Iran is impacting oil prices and
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: diesel prices. But what's happening in Ukraine is also impacting
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: it tremendously. That is the impact of international war. And sadly,
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: the oil-producing countries are the ones that tend to be in.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: War a lot.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: You know, when we went through COVID, when we went
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: through the COVID period, I think people were stunned to
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: find out how dependent we were on other countries for
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: really critical resources, especially places like China and India. Suddenly,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: you're realizing, we don't have access to medication? Why not? Oh,
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: it turns out it's all coming from overseas. or you
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: don't have access to all these various resources and materials,
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: where is it coming from? It's coming from China. And
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: you have this realization, you're like, holy crap, our national
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: security and our economy is really dependent on other countries.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: That is not good. That is not good at all.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: The same seems to be true of energy, because I
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: think a lot of Americans see what's happening right now
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: in places like Iran and in Russia and Ukraine, and
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: they're like, wait a second, we have energy right here
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: in America. Why is this impacting us to such a
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: great extent? when we have our own domestic energy, Daniel.
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the frustration of just having global oil markets,
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: but let's rewind just five years and you got a
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: really smart audience and they'll remember this.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: But in May.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Of 2021, there was a cyber attack on the colonial pipeline,
• 38:13
  Speaker 3: which is a pipeline from the Gulf all up the
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: East Coast that brings an awful lot of oil to
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: the entire Eastern seaboard, right?
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: A lot of petroleum products. gasoline, et cetera. It was
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: shut down for five and a half days.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: And if your audience remembers, and they do, there was
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: absolute bedlam, right?
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Insanity.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: People were lined up for hours and hours overnight. There
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: were fistfights at gas stations. The East-West Pipeline in Saudi
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Arabia was shut down for three weeks, right? And that's
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: 10 times, 50 times bigger than the colonial pipelines. These
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: are huge international incidences that are happening on a daily
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: basis that are impacting prices. And so, yes, we need
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: a lot more domestic refining capacity. We need a lot
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: more production capacity to buffer us from international affairs, but
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: we're never going to be uncoupled from the world.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: No, no, we're not. But I just think like, so
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: let me focus on diesel for a moment. I'm getting
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: some questions in the chat about this too. So this
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: is a smart question. Why is diesel disproportionately impacted? Why
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: are we seeing such a high price for diesel as
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: opposed to like regular unleaded fuel?
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: Diesel is the smallest quantity of the refined products that
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: comes out. It's just a pure supply issue. Certain types
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: of crude make better diesel or make more diesel, right?
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: No doubt.
• 39:44
  Speaker 3: The Keystone Pipeline was supposed to bring around 800,000 barrels
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: a day.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Remember, that got shut down. That would have been a.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Very pro-diesel crude production, right? What's coming from Venezuela is
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: good for diesel production. But if you take your barrel
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: of oil and you separate it into all the different
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: things that it can make, Diesel's just a small sliver.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: And we use a lot of diesel, all of our
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: heavy machinery, all of our farm equipment, all of our
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: big trucks, a lot of just regular domestic, like household
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: vehicles now run on diesel as well.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: So it's just a pure supply issue.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, don't we also use something, I mean, it's
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: pretty much, it's close to the same composition for home
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: heating oil, right?
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very similar, right? But it's the smallest amount.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: When you have a regular barrel of crude, almost 50%
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: of it, around 48% of it is just regular gasoline. Yes,
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: the different blends. And then you throw in ethanol, which
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: is poison. But almost half of that is just regular,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: what we call gasoline for your car. The rest of
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: it is all these other little products. What goes into ships, right?
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: Those big, huge tankers use a special product. Diesel is
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: a little bit. petrochemical products, plastics, et cetera, home heating oil, propane, right?
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: That all comes from the rest of it. So the
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: only way to increase the supply, and that's why people
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: like Milton Friedman call us supply-siders, the only way to
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: lower prices is to increase the supply.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: It's not going to be government. It's not going to
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: be hoarding. It's not going to be banning imports.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: The only way to lower prices is to increase supply,
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: and that's what we're trying to do but increasing diesel.
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: Supply is a five, six, seven, eight year proposition.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: And we're 25 years behind the curve because of people
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: who have told us because of climate change, we can't
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: make these products.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: This was the question. This is it. So we've got
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: Russia and Ukraine impacting global diesel prices in a huge
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: way because refinery capacity is being literally destroyed there. In
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: the United States, we've had Democrats who have been wielding
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: their power to handicap our ability to even process it
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: in the country. Can you walk me through that? What
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: have Democrats done to refinery capacity in America?
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Best example is she was the former Interior Secretary. She's
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: now running for governor of New Mexico. She probably, like
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of blue governors in blue states, is going
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: to win because she just has to hide in her basement.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: But former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, she was Interior Secretary
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: for the whole Biden administration. You can look at every
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: time she testified before Congress, her answer was.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. She just played dumb
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: for four straight years.
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: But when it comes to oil production, for example, by law,
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: federal land has quarterly lease sales, right? So if you're
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: ExxonMobil and you want access to land to drill, you
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: go to the quarterly sales. We would get to the
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: quarterly sales, which are mandated by law. And Deb Haaland,
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: who is half Native American, would say- They kept telling
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: us that. indigenous knowledge has told me we can't have
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: a lease sale today.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: And that was that. Wash your hand.
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: These are multi-billion dollar sales that you are putting all
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: of your prospective business efforts into. And then she pulls
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: out the rug from under you and she says, because
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: I was burning sage last night, no lease sales. How
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: the hell do you run a multi-trillion dollar industry If
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: that is the, if that is the, you know, what
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: stopped her was Doug Burgum, who's the current interior secretary.
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: He was governor of North Dakota. And finally, after the
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: second or third time said, okay, what's this? We're stopping this.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait, wait, wait. That was really, that was her rationale.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: She was spreading entrails out on the floor and then
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: saying that that resulted in us not having oil.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: This is not me being hyperbolic for, for clicks and likes.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: This was her rationale. Interior indigenous knowledge has told me
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: there will be no lease sales. And we were supposed
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: to accept.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: That, right?
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: Go to CVS and ask for your prescription and have
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: the Native American pharmacist say, indigenous knowledge has told me, Vince,
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: you're not going to get your prescription today.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: See how much that lasts, right? How did that work?
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I believe they call those medicine men. I think that's
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: what that was known as. That's crazy. That's super crazy.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine?
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: And that's just one small example. You had four years
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: of that.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: You had four years of The BLM secretary, Bureau of
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: Land Management, Tracy Stone Manning, shutting down lease sales.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: You had four years.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Of the EPA, the former EPA administrator, Michael Regan, putting
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: everyone out of business because we've changed the rules. You
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: don't have enough African-Americans on your board of directors. Well,
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: now under racial justice or environmental justice, you don't meet
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: the new criteria. You have to shut down for a
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: So what you're describing people of color, what you're describing,
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: if let's just pretend that we didn't have these whack
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: jobs in charge and we had a like a very
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: productive and prolific energy environment in the United States that
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: wasn't handicapped by them. that would equip us to be
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: able to better handle national security threats, wouldn't it? In
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: other words, if President Trump says, I want to stop
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: Iran from having a nuke, and he goes in the
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: way he did, then we'd be fully insulated from any
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: of this chaos if Democrats hadn't screwed us over in
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: the first place. 100%.
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: And you have to liken this to someone like Eisenhower,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: who built the highway system with the vision of where
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: we were headed, I'm sure I wasn't alive. You weren't
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: alive either. But I'm sure there were people in the
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: 50s who were like, what the hell are we doing?
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Why are we building this road in the middle of nowhere?
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: But he saw where the puck was going, right? When
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: it comes to energy, that's what we need. We need
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: to think about where is America going to be in 5, 10,
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: 15 years? Because that's how long these projects take. That's
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: the pernicious result of Joe Biden canceling Keystone. It's not
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: that we don't have these 800,000 barrels now when we
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: need them. but it told everyone, don't plan a 10-year project, right?
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: Who's gonna open a new Keystone? And if you're Gavin Newsom,
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: the first thing you're gonna do is campaign against it.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: When I'm elected president, I will shut that down.
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: Well, hell, I'm not gonna drop $ 10 billion in a
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: multi-year project if Gavin Newsom is gonna campaign on closing it.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: So we're not doing energy of where the ball is going,
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: where the puck is going. We're doing energy right now
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: And that's hurting us. Now, the president's trying to stop that,
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: of course, but it's got a lot of forces lined
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: up against him.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm going to ask you about where the future's going,
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: because I have seen some positive headlines. I want to
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: bounce off you and see what you think. But one
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: more thing on this. When you hear Democrats trying to
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: make campaign ads right now, attacking Donald Trump for energy prices,
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: what do you think?
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: It's easy, right? And it's smart. It's not good. It's
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: not honest. It's not ethical.
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: But it is smart politics. because he's the ultimate foil, right?
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: So if you're Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York,
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: if you're Maura Healey, the governor of Massachusetts, you can
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: point to Donald Trump and say, you know why electricity
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: is up 45%? Because of Donald Trump. Well, Donald Trump's
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: tried to bring a lot of natural gas pipelines from
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: the Marcellus region in PA, but you are blocking them, right?
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: You can't build a pipeline across New York. Fracking is
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: illegal in New York state, thanks to Andrew Cuomo, right?
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: So- You're not doing what is necessary to lower prices,
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: but you don't have to. You just point to Donald
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: Trump and say that's the guilty party. Gavin Newsom shut
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: down three refineries in California. I can't have anyone talk
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: to me about diesel prices when we have shut down
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: three viable refineries in California under climate change. And what
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: does he do as a response? He goes to the
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: UN and brags and talks about how we're leading the
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: charge on climate change.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: How is he not responsible for diesel prices?
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Exactly. If you create a crisis, you're responsible for it. Okay,
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: let me get to the future now. I have seen,
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: I know as of last week, Friday, 22 million barrels
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: of oil moved through the Strait of Hormuz. That's a
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: big deal when the average before that, it was 20
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: million a day before the war started. The numbers on
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: the amount of oil seem to be going up pretty dramatically.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: The media a little hesitant to share that information. A
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: lot of it's not even transiting through the Strait, apparently.
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: A lot of it's coming through pipelines now that is
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: taking it away from that region. And then, of course,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: the president just secured this massive oil deal for 65
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: billion barrels in Venezuela. As you're looking at all of
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: the gathering news about what's happening with energy right now,
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: what do you anticipate?
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: I am very optimistic about the future because we're putting
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: in place the right policies. What I'm nervous about, and
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: not even the midterms, the midterms, the Democrats, even if
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: they win both chambers, and I don't think they will,
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: quite frankly, I'm not a pessimist, but even if they
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: win both chambers, they're not going to have the ability
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: to stop our energy agenda. They'll just subpoena people like
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: me nonstop and make lives miserable. What I'm nervous about
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: is 2028 because it's the same, the best analogy is,
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: that caravan that's mounting right now in Honduras coming north,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: they're looking at 2028. And they're going to say, we'll
• 48:59
  Speaker 3: just camp on the border. And if Gavin Newsom wins
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: the next day, the day of inaugural, the doors are open.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: And that's when we're going to enter. So for our energy.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: Prospects to work, we need a couple of sustained years
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: and not this ping pong of every four years. Trump
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: got us out of a ditch in 2016, 2017. Biden
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: put us back in the ditch. We're still getting in
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: the ditch. And we've got Republicans talking about polishing the fender.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: There's no reason to clean the car. There's no reason
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: to wash and buff it. Get the damn car out
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: of the ditch. We're not even close to getting out
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: of the ditch yet. But You know, we got the pulleys,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: we got the jack, we got the muscle. Let's work
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: and get to the stage that we can make things
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: shiny and new. We're not there yet, but we can
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: be if we keep the right people in office.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: We got to do that. Thank you, Daniel Turner with
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: Power of the Future. Thank you, as always, for your perspective.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: I always rely on you for that. Thank you, sir.
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: Have a great weekend, Vince. God bless you.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Appreciate you. There's Daniel Turner again, Power of the Future,
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: with a good explainer on what's going on with energy
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: right now. And these Democrats, they're total culpability. for leaving
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: America in a ditch. And this idea, as we head
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: to the midterms, this nonsense about, oh, we've got to
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: elect Democrats. This is going to make things better. Better?
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: James Talofrico and company have promised to destroy the American
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: energy industry. In fact, Talofrico, his position on this subject
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: is crystal clear. He wants to destroy what he calls
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: fossil fuels. He says that they've been destroying the planet.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: And lately, he's been making noises like, oh, actually, I
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: support energy. He's running in Texas. This is why he, quote,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: has to say this. He's lying. And this is driving
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: places like NBC crazy. NBC, which hasn't been given the
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: talking points that they that Talafrico's lies need to stand
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: unopposed right now. They're grumpy about this. There's an actual
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: piece up from NBC in the last 24 hours. They
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: say in 2022, James Tallarico vowed to take on the
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: fossil fuel industry after Texas's deadly power grid failure. By
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: the way, that the power grid failure was the result
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: of green energy. It was literally the result of the Democrats. Now,
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: in a high stakes Senate race, he is drifting from
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: that promise. And you know what they're upset about? that
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: apparently a couple of people who are gainfully employed in
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: the energy industry have made donations to James Talafrico's campaign. Now,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: that is a suicidal thing to do. Do not give
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: money to James Talafrico's campaign if you're in the energy industry.
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: If you'd like your job, you won't be able to
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: keep it if Talafrico has power over your life. So
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: don't do that. That's suicidal. But NBC's upset. And NBC
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: wants to know, are you going to give the money
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: back to the fossil fuel people? And Talafrico's campaign is
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: right now saying, no, no, we're not giving it back.
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: We stand for an all of the above energy strategy.
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: We support the energy industry in Texas. It's a lie.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: He's lying. lying, which is, of course, what he does.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: He lies. He's lying for political expedience. In fact, take
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: a look here. I've got another clip of him on
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: this subject. He's been really candid, you know, in other
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: situations when he wasn't running for U.S.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Senate.
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Here he is, cut nine, saying, it's time to transition
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: away from so-called fossil fuels. We got to get rid
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: Watch.
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: I think the thing that frustrates me is the false equivalency, right?
• 52:27
  Speaker 8: We say, well, no, no introduced source is perfect.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: They all flawed.
• 52:31
  Speaker 8: Except renewables maybe are more variable, but then fossil fuels
• 52:37
  Speaker 8: are destroying the planet.
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: And so it's like, are those two things on equal footing, right?
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: I guess my only point is I want Texas to
• 52:45
  Speaker 8: be number one in renewables going forward in the 21st century, right?
• 52:49
  Speaker 8: Right now it feels a little bit like we're the
• 52:52
  Speaker 8: number one supplier of cassette tapes in 1988, right? It's
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: time to transition because that's not gonna last very long.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: I guess I just don't know where.
• 53:01
  Speaker 8: The hostility comes from in trying to figure out a safer, cleaner,
• 53:05
  Speaker 8: greener path.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: He's all about transitioning, that guy. Boys can become girls
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: and Texas can't have good energy. Everything is transitioning with
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: this dude. Everything. He's a freak. He's a freak. And
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: in fact, he's even said that if you believe that
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: the gift that God has given us of this prolific
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: energy under the earth, if you believe that you should
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: access it, You're not a Christian. You can't call yourself
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: a Christian and fill the tank of your car with
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: unleaded gasoline. Don't believe me? Here's Talafrico saying that very thing.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Cut 10, watch.
• 53:44
  Speaker 8: You can't call yourself a Christian and destroy God's creation
• 53:49
  Speaker 8: with greenhouse gases.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: You can't call yourself a Christian and drive an SUV.
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: You can't call yourself a Christian and heat your home
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: with gas. You can't call yourself a Christian and have
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: a prolific economy using the blessings that God has given us.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: Can't call yourself a Christian. He's very judgy about whether
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: or not you can be a Christian. Meanwhile, his church
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: is teaching that Jesus maybe didn't exist. If he did exist,
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: he didn't die for us and that the resurrection probably
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: didn't happen at all. And yet he's telling you whether
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: or not you're a Christian based on whether you fill
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: your car up with gas. This is crazy. This guy
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: can't become a United States Senator. He is, once again,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: A freak, which, by the way, is exactly what Donald
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: Trump called him yesterday. Here's the president of the United
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: States in a great moment. Cut 11.
• 54:36
  Speaker 6: Ken was a great attorney general and he is a
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: great attorney general.
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: And the other guy is he's a freak. He's a
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: total freak. And you know what? The country can't have.
• 54:52
  Speaker 6: A negative vote like that. Whether they like him or
• 54:56
  Speaker 6: don't like him, if you like Texas and if you
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: love your country, you can't.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: Give a vote to this mass.
• 55:03
  Speaker 6: Body of people, because bad things are going to happen
• 55:06
  Speaker 6: to our country.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Look at the borders in Texas. They had open borders.
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: They went through hell.
• 55:11
  Speaker 6: I came along.
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: They were closed in 60 days.
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: So we just had our 17th month where zero people
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: came in.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: Hard to believe, actually.
• 55:21
  Speaker 6: Over a period of 17 months, we had zero illegal
• 55:23
  Speaker 6: aliens coming in.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: You know something? Every time those lefties use the phrase transition,
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: I want you to substitute another word in your mind. Mutilate. mutilate.
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: They want to mutilate the American energy industry. They want
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: to mutilate children. They want to transition the border. They
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: want to mutilate the border. That's always the plan. They
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: want to mutilate what's normal. What's normal. They're agents of chaos.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter what kind of utterances they're making
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: right now. You know it instinctively. You know it in
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: your gut. that Talafrico is lying to you right now. Oh,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: he suddenly had a realization that there are two genders?
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: He's a liar. He's a liar. And that person, someone
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: who's that completely dishonest with that kind of a poisonous
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: background should be nowhere near the United States Senate at all.
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: And we've got just over a month to handle this,
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen. We've got to handle it. We've got
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: to keep these guys away, and we have to make
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: America great again. We'll keep working on that mission. I've
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: got a lot more to get to on this subject
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: and so much more. We'll do it today on the
• 56:38

  Speaker 9: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
• 57:51
  Speaker 9: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
• 57:54
  Speaker 9: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: That is it.
• 58:01
  Speaker 9: This is not a football game.
