  Speaker 1: Backyard barbecues, and a day at the beach.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: The Memorial Day weekend, you're on the Sean Hannity Show.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Well, we're coming to your city.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: We're going to play our guitars and sing you a
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: country song. We'll all be flying higher than a jetliner.
• 0:23
  Speaker 4: And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang,
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: come along.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: In the new Congress, we're going to have to do
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: something about this Supreme Court.
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: And let me be very clear.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Everything is on the table.
• 0:33
  Speaker 6: Everything to deal with this corrupt MAGA majority.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: No, but you don't have excuse me.
• 0:40
  Speaker 7: You do not have the right to say climate change
• 0:43
  Speaker 7: does not exist, that it's a hoax.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And that's where this administration is coming from.
• 0:47
  Speaker 8: Do you not believe them when they say death to America?
• 0:49
  Speaker 7: Listen, our adversaries use rhetoric all the time.
• 0:53
  Speaker 6: Freedom is back in style.
• 0:56
  Speaker 8: Welcome.
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: Revolution.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: More behind-the-scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: solutions for America.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: Our news roundup and information overload hour. Here's our toll-free
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: telephone number if you want to be a part of
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: the program. It's 800-941-SHAWN if you want to join us.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I'm not upset at all that the UAE is getting
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: out of OPEC. As far as I'm concerned, it was
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a price-fixing syndicate, but that's my own thoughts on it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Here's the president talking about UAE getting out of OPEC
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and saying, yeah, it's a good thing. I know very.
• 1:50
  Speaker 9: Well Mohammed and very smart. And he probably maybe wants
• 1:57
  Speaker 9: to go his own way.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: That's a good thing.
• 1:58
  Speaker 9: I think ultimately it's a good thing for getting the
• 2:02
  Speaker 9: price of gas down, getting oil down, getting everything down.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: They have it all.
• 2:08
  Speaker 9: He's a great leader, actually, so no, I'm okay. They're
• 2:11
  Speaker 9: having some problems in OPEC.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: They're having some problems there. Yeah, but I think ultimately
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the president has built up, especially in Gulf states, a
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: strong enough relationship that I think whatever the president needed
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: from them that they would do, I think there's going
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to be, as a result of all of this, in
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the end, a reconfiguration. I think the Strait of Hormuz
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: probably over time will become obsolete as all these oil-producing
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: nations now find alternatives to how to get their oil
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to market, including building pipelines. There's discussions now going on
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: of the Saudis actually building a pipeline through Israel as
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a means of transporting oil. Anyway, here to weigh in
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: on all of this, and I know it's difficult. Nobody
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: wants to pay more for a gallon of gasoline than
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: they have to, but need I remind a lot of you,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that you're paying a lot less now than you were
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: paying under Joe Biden. People seem to forget the $ 5
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: an hour gasoline that they were paying back in the day.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: But anyway, it's hovering a little over $ 100 a barrel today.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Tim Stewart, president, U.S. Oil Gas, is with us. Daniel Turner, founder,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: executive director, Power of the Future, a national nonprofit that
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: advocates for American energy jobs, unpacking. You know how effective
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the president's blockade has been. It's costing Iran four to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars a day. That's a lot of money.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: That is the the bulk of their entire economy. Anyway,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: welcome back, both of you. Tim Stewart, let's analyze where
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: we are. I know the president because I discussed it
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: with him. The president very clearly says, I can put
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: an end to all of this tomorrow and I can
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: obliterate all of their infrastructure. I believe the only reason
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: he is showing any hesitancy to do that is there's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: 90 plus million Iranians that will be impacted long term
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: by that decision. That's the easy part for the president.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And I would expect, though, as effective as the blockade
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: has been, And the damage it's doing to their economy
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and the likelihood that they'll soon have to cap their
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: oil wells, which will dramatically reduce production, that the president
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: is going with a longer-term strategy that would allow for
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: the potential economy to reemerge for the people in Iran,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: which I don't think is a bad decision for them
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and the world either. Thoughts?
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: No, I agree with you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 10: I think this president's been really smart about this. I mean,
• 4:39
  Speaker 10: if you take out the Iranian infrastructure, they still have
• 4:41
  Speaker 10: the capacity to take out the Gulf producers' infrastructure as well.
• 4:45
  Speaker 10: And that just exacerbates the problem, Sean. This whole OPEC
• 4:50
  Speaker 10: fracture is really interesting, though, because right now we're running
• 4:53
  Speaker 10: about a 500 million barrel shortfall coming out of the Gulf.
• 4:58
  Speaker 10: And I think UAE is looking at the ability to
• 5:02
  Speaker 10: fill that shortfall quickly, as quickly as they possibly can.
• 5:05
  Speaker 10: But they can't do it as a member of OPEC,
• 5:08
  Speaker 10: who will sort of continue to expect sort of production
• 5:15
  Speaker 10: limits on each of their member companies, those quotas. And
• 5:18
  Speaker 10: so I think UAE is actually... Them walking away is
• 5:20
  Speaker 10: interesting because it's a structural fracture to OPEC. This is
• 5:23
  Speaker 10: the first time that the major top-tier producer has quit.
• 5:26
  Speaker 10: This isn't just some smaller country. They have a capacity
• 5:29
  Speaker 10: to push towards 5 million barrels a day, but they're
• 5:32
  Speaker 10: not going to do that. They're not going to be
• 5:34
  Speaker 10: able to do that if they're still tied to the
• 5:35
  Speaker 10: OPEC quota. I think they're done sort of subordinating their
• 5:39
  Speaker 10: sovereignty to a quota system that's really dominated by Russia's
• 5:43
  Speaker 10: revenue needs and, in this case, Iran's survival. We have
• 5:47
  Speaker 10: a different world in front of us, that's for sure,
• 5:49
  Speaker 10: both on the infrastructure, how crude it actually gets to market,
• 5:52
  Speaker 10: but also who prices that. And I think if you move,
• 5:56
  Speaker 10: it gives them greater latitude. So what that's going to do,
• 5:58
  Speaker 10: that's going to bring, as rapidly as crude has gone up,
• 6:01
  Speaker 10: it's going to bring it down pretty quickly as well.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and if you look at where we are today, Daniel,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: the average price for a gallon of gasoline, yeah, I
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: want it at $ 2 a gallon myself if possible. although
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: I'm driving my electric car more, although I'm probably paying
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: more for energy anyway. But putting that aside, under Joe Biden,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: if you go back, Biden's all-time high was $ 5. 01 per gallon.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: That was the nationwide average at that point. And I
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: don't know what excuse he had, except Kamala Harris saying
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that it's the cost of democracy.
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, what we were seeing during the Biden years was
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: a genuine market concern about futures production. And we don't
• 6:39
  Speaker 8: have that now. We don't have a production problem. That's
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: why after the president comes inaugural in 2025, it's why
• 6:45
  Speaker 8: oil prices fell so precipitously. that by the time he
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: did his first address to Congress, he was able to
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: spike the football on it. Markets are desperate for a
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: sign of military resolution, and that's why we've been seeing
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: sometimes $ 25 a barrel swings in prices in the same day.
• 7:02
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's insanity. You know, this market clearly goes
• 7:06
  Speaker 8: up and down. Prices go up and down, but they
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: do so gradually.
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: And just this..
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: Crazy fluctuations are signs that the market is desperate to
• 7:14
  Speaker 8: have some assurances, and they don't have them yet, and
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: that's the frustrating thing. But once there is that certainty
• 7:21
  Speaker 8: that all the tankers are getting through the blockade, it
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: has been successful for Iran, but it has not prevented
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: any of our allies, et cetera, from getting support. oil
• 7:32
  Speaker 8: prices will drop back to their regular level fairly quickly.
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: I think it could be in a matter of weeks.
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: So they're just looking for that guarantee. They don't have
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: it yet. And I know the president knows that. He's
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: well aware of that. But you know what? He's also
• 7:45
  Speaker 8: not going to use this for political reasons. He has
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: a much larger objective And he's willing to risk, quite frankly,
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: his approval ratings. People are saying even the midterms. It
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: shows you how seriously he takes the threat of radical
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: Islam and how he wants to end it once and
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: for all.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, there is short-term pain. I'm not going
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: to do what Democrats do and lie to us and say, oh,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Joe's cognitively as strong as he's ever been when he's not.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie and say the border's open.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the border's closed and the border's secure when
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: it's not. Oil prices are going up. It is a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: direct result of the president seeing a long-term strategic national
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: security threat to our country, and that is a nuclear-armed Iran. Now,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: earlier in the week, Tim Stewart, the president, met with
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: oil executives at the White House, and they were talking
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: specifically about the Strait of Hormuz. We have Secretary of
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: State Marco Rubio saying as well that the blockade on
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the Strait is the equivalent to an economic nuclear weapon.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I think they have determined anywhere between one and four weeks,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the Iranians will have nowhere to store their oil, which
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: would mean they'd have to cap those oil wells shut.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: My understanding, you would know better than me, if in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: fact they cap those wells, the odds of them ever
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: getting the production that they currently have go down to zero,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and they'd be lucky to get 50 or 60 percent
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of their current capacity moving forward when they reopen those wells.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Is that about right?
• 9:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah, those are legacy fields. They're, you know, 40 and
• 9:20
  Speaker 10: 50 years old, and so they're very different than what
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: we have in, say, the shale fields in Texas or
• 9:25
  Speaker 10: New Mexico. And the Secretary is right. This is exactly
• 9:30
  Speaker 10: a complete straitjacket the Iranians have had to let themselves
• 9:33
  Speaker 10: get put in. You have pressurization issues. You have water
• 9:36
  Speaker 10: issues with those wells. And the other challenge they have is, frankly,
• 9:39
  Speaker 10: they lose market share. They literally just lose market share because,
• 9:42
  Speaker 10: as we just mentioned earlier... The Emirates could easily backfill
• 9:46
  Speaker 10: another 1.5 million barrels a day. So the longer this
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: goes on, it is really tough for the Iranians. They've
• 9:54
  Speaker 10: got a decision to make here because if you don't
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: have oil revenues coming in, then you don't have the
• 9:58
  Speaker 10: ability to.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: Purchase on the market.
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: Exports that you need. And frankly, you don't have the
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: opportunity to to pay your security forces or to fund
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: your proxies. And the president sees the absolute big picture
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: in this, which is it's not just about Iran, but
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: it's about Lebanon. It's about the Houthis. It's about China.
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: And I got to hand it to him. He has
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: a long view on this thing. And you see that
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: starting with Venezuela, and you see what's going to play
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: out with China over the next.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Couple of weeks, I think. What do you think, Daniel,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: about OPEC? Because You know, the idea that OPEC could
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: be fracturing and maybe maybe the UAE realizes we're probably
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: never going to see a hundred dollar a barrel for
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: oil in the future. Might as well cash it now
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: while we can. Is that their thinking? Is it that
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: they want fierce independence? I don't think they're doing this
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: because they want to produce less. I think they're doing
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: it because they want to produce more.
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: A hundred percent. But I do think on like a
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: larger world philosophical level, there are these legacy institutions that
• 10:59
  Speaker 8: seem to have outlived their purpose, right? We look at
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: our relationship with the United Nations, for example, and we
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: kind of scratch our heads and say, Does it serve
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: America's interests? Look at countries like Hungary or Poland that
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: are part of the EU, and they look at Brussels
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: and they say, our values are not aligned, right? Maybe
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: OPEC had, like these other bloated legacy organizations, globalist organizations.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: has outlived its purpose. Remember, it was started in 1970
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: for the sole purpose of fighting America. It was not
• 11:27
  Speaker 8: meant to be friendly competition. This was meant to destroy
• 11:30
  Speaker 8: America's oil and gas dominance of the world. And it
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: was fairly successful at it for most of the Carter years,
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: as we all remember. But OPEC seems to have outlived
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: its purpose. And you have people in Dubai saying, wait
• 11:41
  Speaker 8: a second, we can produce 5 million barrels a day,
• 11:44
  Speaker 8: but a bunch of guys in Vienna, which is where
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: OPEC is headquartered, But the guys in Vienna say we
• 11:49
  Speaker 8: can only produce 3.3.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: What the hell is that?
• 11:51
  Speaker 8: Why did they get to decide our country's future and
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: our country's sovereignty? And I think countries are looking at
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: European countries are looking at Brussels with the same head scratch.
• 12:01
  Speaker 8: We look at New York where the U.N. is headquartered
• 12:03
  Speaker 8: with the same head scratch. And I think there's a
• 12:05
  Speaker 8: realignment of national values. And I quite frankly think President
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: Trump spearheaded that on the world stage.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, in a way, it's a price fixing cartel.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, am I wrong in saying that?
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: No, not at all. That is its sole purpose. And
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: they want to produce enough to make it very expensive
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: to produce oil and gas in America. They have a
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: much lower profitability point than America does because they don't
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: have to have things like OSHA and labor unions and
• 12:34
  Speaker 8: diversity and awareness training. They can use slave labor, which
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: a lot of Middle Eastern oil fields, quite frankly, do use,
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: have horrible labor practices. So their profitability level is much lower.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: So they just want profit, right? And that's how you
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: build the world's largest hotel and the world's largest indoor
• 12:50
  Speaker 8: ski resort, which are all in Dubai. So OPEC has
• 12:53
  Speaker 8: not been our friend and is not our friend. To
• 12:55
  Speaker 8: see it splinter and fracture and hopefully die is good
• 12:59
  Speaker 8: for the world and world peace and world prosperity.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: No, I don't disagree with any of this at all.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: All right, quick break. More with Tim Stewart, the president
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: of U.S. Oil and Gas, and Daniel Turner, founder, executive
• 13:10

  Speaker 1: Hey, I want to talk about Africa for just a second. Now,
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: hear me out. The African economies have made some very
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: interesting gains in recent years. They have been strengthening their
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: gold holdings. with all this global uncertainty and it seems
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: to be working they've added 50 billion dollars in value
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: over the last year alone that's not bad now the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: truth is africa is not alone central banks across the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: globe they're still buying gold and it doesn't look to
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: be stopping so does it make sense for you to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: add some gold to your own holdings that's where my
• 14:20

  Speaker 1: you know, from like, I think one of the biggest mistakes,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: and I've said this many times, Tim Stewart, is that
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Europe is a continent in decline. And individually, the countries
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of Europe and our NATO allies are in decline. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Western Europe in particular is in decline. They have neglected
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: national security, their own defense needs. They've been reluctant to
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: pay their fair share to NATO. They've embraced radical socialism,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: climate alarmism. And then, of course, you have unfettered illegal
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: immigration with no assimilation. resulting in Sharia courts in Great Britain,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: no-go zones throughout Europe and France and elsewhere. And I'm
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: not sure that this continent at this point is going
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to be able to successfully recover. I don't see the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: political appetite to make the changes to do the things,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: for example, Donald Trump has done in terms of illegal
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: immigration in our country. and deporting people that didn't respect
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: our laws, borders, and sovereignty.
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: Well, it's interesting, Sean. You know, we actually have kind
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: of this fortress western hemisphere opportunity now between the United
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: States being the largest producer in the world and our
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: relationship with Alberta and their production.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: What's happening?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: What about Venezuela? I mean, we've got this great relationship.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Venezuela is the world's largest producer. We're number two, and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia is a distant third, no?
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: Venezuela's got the largest reserves, and the interesting thing is
• 17:25
  Speaker 10: the U.S. oil and gas industry has gone in and
• 17:27
  Speaker 10: revived the Venezuelan oil industry in the latter of 90 days,
• 17:31
  Speaker 10: where the chattering class in D.C. was saying it was
• 17:33
  Speaker 10: never going to happen at all. You have Argentina, which
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: is now coming online as well. So literally, I think
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: you would have a production block of countries that will
• 17:41
  Speaker 10: surpass what OPEC does. And that, again, becomes more reliable
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: trading partners for Asia and for the Europeans because there's
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: no straight that can be closed and shut off the supply.
• 17:52
  Speaker 10: And again, this is to Trump's credit. He has completely
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: reordered the way we produce and we deliver energy for
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: the next generation. It is an amazing thing to watch.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: It really is. Daniel, how do you see this playing out?
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: You know, the future is so bright for this industry.
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: You look at something like the Alaska natural gas pipeline
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: that the president was able to get through. It's being
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: paid for mostly by Southeast Asian countries. Same deal. There's
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: no straits to go through. There's no piracy to have
• 18:21
  Speaker 8: to worry about. That just puts Alaska on the map
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: and it builds our alliances with our allies, with reliable, abundant,
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: affordable industries. fossil fuels which power the world. So I
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: think there is a reordering happening. I think we're four
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: years delayed because of the Biden administration, but we're absorbing that,
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: and it just shows the importance of every election because
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: if we stop this, Sean, it's going to be very
• 18:44
  Speaker 8: hard to start up again.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: All right. Tim Stewart, Daniel Turner, thank you both for

• 21:06
  Speaker 1: our number if you want to be a part of
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: the program. We've been watching, witnessing, you know, Israel now
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: in a fight for their very survival. And you see
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: that Iran has been targeting Israel. Densely populated areas in
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: Tel Aviv and elsewhere. It's been hell on earth for
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of people living there. You know, sirens sounding
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: day and night, cluster bombs dropping in neighborhoods. And it's
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: been hard, especially for the elderly. For example, Esther, 84
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: years old, elderly, fragile, alone. But for the International Fellowship
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews, they've been on the ground providing
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: all the humanitarian assistance. 888-488-IFCJ. On the web, it's ifcj.org.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: That's ifcj.org. Let me go back to our top story
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: from earlier today. We now know that the former FBI director,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: James Comey, has been indicted yet again. By the way,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I talked to Dan Bongino on my podcast about this.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: We just dropped it this morning. In relation to his
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: 8647 seashell post on Instagram last year, I have no
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: idea what this means. None at all whatsoever. I mean, 8647,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't know that meant anything.
• 22:24
  Speaker 12: When you posted this message, 8647, and I said there
• 22:29
  Speaker 12: are different interpretations of it, but one interpretation of it
• 22:31
  Speaker 12: is to end someone or something. Was there anything in
• 22:35
  Speaker 12: the back of your mind that said, Maybe I just
• 22:38
  Speaker 12: shouldn't post this.
• 22:40
  Speaker 13: Yeah, no.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: Literally nothing. Because it seemed entirely innocent and clever to me.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: I have never, and actually still don't, associate 86 with violence. But,
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: because I heard that some folks were, whether they do
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: that reasonably or not, I don't want any part of it.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And so that's why I took it down from my
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Instagram account.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Okay. He's full of Adam Schiff for putting all that aside. But,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: you know, in this atmosphere... where it's a death assassination culture,
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: it's really beyond frustrating. Here to weigh in on this,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the pending election, everything that's been going on, is our
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: friend Mark Halpert is back with us. I know you
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: were at the White House Correspondents Dinner because, you know,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: after the room had long been cleared, there was a
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: shot of you with three people, and you were in
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a circle having a pleasant conversation, which was not a
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: bad thing to do, but obviously not an easy night
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: for anybody in that room. What went on from your
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: vantage point?
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: Sean, great to be back. I did hang around afterwards.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: You know, I'm an American, and I'm a dad and
• 23:44
  Speaker 6: a husband, but also a reporter, and so I didn't
• 23:46
  Speaker 6: really want to give up the opportunity to talk to
• 23:48
  Speaker 6: folks until the service kicked us out. I was sitting
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: in sort of the center of the ballroom, Kash Patel
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: was at my table, so I got to watch him
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: deal with the aftermath and dealing with it in the
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: room and then as he left the room.
• 24:04
  Speaker 13: And by the way, can you confirm, I mean, he's
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: been unfairly smeared in all of this, and I know
• 24:11
  Speaker 13: from other people that were with him that within moments
• 24:14
  Speaker 13: he was with the perpetrator and questioning him, and they
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: had this guy in an ambulance on the way, and
• 24:20
  Speaker 13: they were questioning him on the way.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: And getting information intel and they had more background on
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: this guy within an hours time than anybody has any
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: idea about So.
• 24:30
  Speaker 6: Much so that, of course, people on the left have
• 24:32
  Speaker 6: all these conspiracy theories about how they allowed it to
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: happen or they engineered it. I can't confirm what he
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: did after he left the table, but he was definitely
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: engaged from the minute it happened. And this moment was,
• 24:45
  Speaker 6: for reporters, kind of a paradox because, you know, hundreds
• 24:49
  Speaker 6: of reporters in a room with the biggest story in
• 24:51
  Speaker 6: the world and very little cell coverage or Wi-Fi coverage.
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: And And most everybody were under the table. I didn't
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: go under the table. My reporter's instinct told me it
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: would be safe to be above, and I wanted to
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: look around and see what was happening. But it was intense.
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: And my main takeaway from the thing is, besides the
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: fact that the agents at that security point did a
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: great job, is the security perimeter should not have been
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: where it was. It should have been at the perimeter
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: of the hotel and not within feet of the ballroom.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: And I really question that as just a judgment call
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: about how to secure that venue.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Oh, I have two criticisms, and I think that it's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: time for a total, complete, top-to-bottom re-evaluation of how they
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: handle presidential security. If you look at Butler, if you
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: look at Trump International, and you look at the incident
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: on Saturday night, there's certainly a major failure. Now, I've
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: got to give props to all of the Secret Service
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: people in the room, and you witnessed it up close
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and personal. They acted, they were all willing to take
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: a bullet for their respective interests, people that they were covering,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: they sprung into action. They're amazing people. I have nothing
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: but praise for them. However, you mentioned the perimeter. That's
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: one part of the equation. If you go to an
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: RNC convention, a DNC convention, sometimes the first layer of perimeter,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: and there are multiple perimeters, is a half a mile
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: or longer away. And to get in, you need to
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: show your credentials multiple times. You need to empty your
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: pockets multiple times. You get wanded multiple times. You go
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: through a mag multiple times. Okay, so the perimeter was
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: very short in this particular case. Many people have discussed it.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: And the second thing is, in each case, they have
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: not effectively swept the areas where a president... former president,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: presidential candidate, is going to be. Trump International, case in point. Butler,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: case in point. How does a guy get on a
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: ladder 130 yards away from a president with a long rifle?
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: How is that even possible? At Trump International, those particular
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: golf holes where the president was headed, when this one
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: sharp-eyed Secret Service agent saw this guy through the bushes,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: it was lucky. It was a known place where paparazzi
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: would congregate, Mark. and they never swept the area, never
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: mind sweep and hold the area, clear the area, and
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: keep it cleared. That never happened. They didn't do it
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: here either. I'm sorry, but that is a failure of
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: magnitude we cannot have in this country if we want
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: to keep our elected officials alive.
• 27:29
  Speaker 6: I agree 100%, and we want the best people to
• 27:32
  Speaker 6: be willing to go into elective office because there are
• 27:34
  Speaker 6: a lot of families who would say, uh-uh, I'm not
• 27:36
  Speaker 6: letting my family member in. The fact that the tickets
• 27:38
  Speaker 6: didn't have QR codes... The fact that you could get
• 27:41
  Speaker 6: onto the premises and within feet of the ballroom, if
• 27:44
  Speaker 6: you had a Hilton Hotel key envelope, and they didn't
• 27:49
  Speaker 6: check IDs. My ID was not checked. I simply showed
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: them my ticket, which doesn't have a QR code on it.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: Well, everybody knows who Mark Halford is. You know who
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: I am, right? I'm Mark Halford.
• 28:00
  Speaker 8: Exactly.
• 28:01
  Speaker 6: Topper Security at Yankee Stadium, Topper Security at most urban
• 28:04
  Speaker 6: high schools. And there's just no excuse for that. And
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: I will say... based on where that guy went, if
• 28:10
  Speaker 6: it had been seven guys with AK-47s and they had
• 28:13
  Speaker 6: stormed that same checkpoint, because the mags he went through,
• 28:16
  Speaker 6: the magnetometers he went through, are much smaller than the
• 28:19
  Speaker 6: main entrance. There's a second entrance, a flight above the
• 28:22
  Speaker 6: ballroom that has a staircase down to the ballroom. If
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: it had been seven guys with high-powered weapons, I shudder
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: to think what would have happened.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Well, in a time where we're not funding the Department
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: of Homeland Security and Secret Services under that purview... It's
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: unconscionable to me. And if that's a hill the Democrats
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: want to die on, it's unconscionable. Let me go to
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: this issue. The former FBI director, James Comey. Now, I
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: dropped a podcast this morning with Dan Bongino, and we
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: talked about Comey. He's now been indicted for a second time. And,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously, 86-47. Now, did you ever believe for
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: one second that he had no idea what that was?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: I didn't believe him for a second. I think he's
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: a liar. That's my own impression.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's hard to know. I mean, it..
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Is it really hard to know? What does your gut
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: tell you?
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: I don't like to just..
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: You're highly suspicious.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: I would say I'm at least somewhat suspicious about that.
• 29:20
  Speaker 6: I would say more likely than not he knew, but,
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: you know, I think he's got bigger problems than whether
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: he lied about that.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: Well, I think the bigger problem is this investigation into
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: a grand conspiracy, which is 11 years, and with all
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: the information that is coming out, and Bongina goes into
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: great detail into this, And he actually believes that people,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: good people in the FBI purposely left those burn bags
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: they purposely left information behind and a trail behind hoping
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: that honest people coming in would find it he actually
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: told me that.
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah could be I mean you know the FBI is
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: interesting that sometimes they're cast as anti-Trump sometimes pro-Trump But
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: it's the culture there is is a tough one. And
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: I think you're going to see more revelations for the
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: last decade of things that have happened at the FBI.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: You know, you're one of the few people that I
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: feel is objective in the media. You're not like me.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: You're not a partisan conservative. However, you do fair analysis.
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: And we spoke quite a quite often before the twenty
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: twenty four election. And we were very much on the
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: same page in terms of we actually spent the time
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: we looked at daily. numbers that were coming in for
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: early voting and things that most people in our industry ignored.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: You said something the other day that caught my attention.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: When you speak, I kind of pay attention to what
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: you say. And that was that, yeah, for those people
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: that think that this election is over, meaning the midterms,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: you're out of your mind. Because I don't think what
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: will define the outcome of this midterm has happened yet.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: I don't think we know. I think a lot of
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: it will be dependant. on how the situation with Iran
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: turns out. I think it will turn out favorably. Yeah,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: it's going on a little bit longer than maybe people anticipated,
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: but it's not going to be a forever war, Mark.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: I can promise you that. Number one. Number two, what
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: drives elections? Peace and prosperity. And if we have enough
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: runway and the economy is able to recover, gas prices stabilize,
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: and the president's the economic foundation that he laid in
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: the first year of this presidency kicks in. I think
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: that the economy is going to be doing a lot better.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: And I think that is a game changer. I don't think,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: I don't think what it will define the outcome of
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: those elections happened yet.
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: Well, I agree with you, and Scott Betzen agrees with you.
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: I did a series of interviews with him the last
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: couple weeks, and he says the war won't be forever,
• 31:47
  Speaker 6: as you said, and the economic growth that will be
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: spread around will happen in the third quarter before the midterms.
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: We'll see.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: I don't know if you saw New York Times in
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: their piece about the midterms, and he said if the
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: election's in May, we'll lose. But it's not in May.
• 32:03
  Speaker 6: And there is time, but the war does have to end.
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: And I know the president wants it to end and
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: is determined to end it. But right now there are
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: a lot of smart people who support the president who
• 32:12
  Speaker 6: don't see how he gets out of this with the
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: proper result. It's not that they can't happen, but it's
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: not currently on offer.
• 32:19
  Speaker 8: So we'll see.
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: But but Republicans have things going for them that could
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: counter the historical norm of doing poorly in the midterms
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: when you control the White House. And we'll just have
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: to see if that environment of peace and prosperity can
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: be part of what they have going for them.
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: You're right. Historical trends are the party in power loses
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: seats in the midterm. I mean, that is a common trait. However,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: you also are dealing with a different, very different Democratic
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: Party today, one that is quite radicalized. and i think
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: their rhetoric and i think they're lack of a real
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: motivating agenda that resonates with the american people's problematic for
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: them thoughts.
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: Well you know you you typically look at presidential let me.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Put it another way they're crazy mark they're insane they
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: have a.
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: Lot of positions that are not popular and if you
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: look at a presidential the idea is to make it
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: a referendum a choice election midterms are typically a referendum
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: on the incumbent james blair and the other people who
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: work with the president on politics Their goal is to
• 33:18
  Speaker 6: make it a referendum, not a referendum, but a choice.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: And they want to say that the Democratic Party is
• 33:24
  Speaker 6: crazy on taxes. They're crazy on trans issues. They're crazy
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: on the border. And if they can pull that off.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Let me see if I can. Do you see any
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: policies that really resonate with the American people?
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: Well, there's one policy, therefore, not Trump. Other than that, no.
• 33:39
  Speaker 6: But sometimes in the midterms, historically, that's been enough to
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: just say you want to check on the people in
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: the White House. We'll see if it's enough this time
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: when the president's side will have a lot of money.
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: They've got very good coordination. I think it'll be one
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: of the best coordinated midterm campaigns ever by a White House.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: And we'll have to see if they can make Democrats
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: pay a price for not having much of a positive
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: agenda and having some policy positions that are very far
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: to the left. We'll see if they can do that. Again,
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: that runs counter to what normally happens in the midterm,
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: where the out party's record and positions are usually not
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: the issue. We'll see, though, and that's their goal. And
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: we'll see some primaries where, you know, in Maine and Michigan,
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: where Democrats might nominate Senate candidates who are too far
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: to the left, I think, to probably win.
