00:00:44.260Thousands of people under evacuation orders in Southern California as firefighters work to contain a fast-moving wildfire.
00:00:50.880Russia striking 10 Ukrainian energy facilities overnight after President Trump defends his decision to ease pressure on Moscow over the weekend.
00:00:59.440The president waiving sweeping new sanctions against Russia
00:01:02.580just weeks after signing the bipartisan legislation into law.
00:01:06.320Trump is only growing closer to Russia.
00:01:08.900First, the deal to buy Russian diesel,
00:01:11.120Kiev accusing the White House of investing in Putin's war effort.
00:01:14.320Then President Trump announcing an energy ceasefire,
00:01:17.320which Ukraine agreed to, but Russia didn't,
00:15:14.240And because President Trump can't do it by himself, obviously, but he's absolutely gotten
00:15:18.320the door open on so many of these questions and so many of these issues.
00:15:22.120And the same way we see these mass networks of 54 people, for example, excuse me, 54 organizations that are now being seen as fomenting or tied to these riots in France.
00:15:33.760At the same time, we see a huge network of organizations that are pushed to the mass open borders cartel as well.
00:15:40.660And so people have to realize that this isn't just happening, you know, organically or happening by some sort of force of nature.
00:15:48.040It's actually a deliberate operation that is being done to American states and to the American country.
00:15:54.580And it's no question in my mind, there's no question that we shouldn't be able to, number one, talk about it like you've been doing and raise it in an election.
00:16:02.260And number two, be able to understand who these people are and why they're doing this to our country.
00:16:08.160There's no question. I mean, even in the oil and gas industry, which is the position I'm running for is the regulator over the oil and gas industry in Texas, you know, our largest and most important industry.
00:16:17.480Even in that industry, we have seen this push to, you know, bring people in from other countries
00:16:22.500and hire people who are not Americans, not Texans.
00:16:25.980And so that's one of the things I'm going to change.
00:16:28.620And, you know, because I have pledged to do that, again, young men are super excited.
00:16:33.620You know, the oil industry provides a lot of really high paying jobs.
00:16:36.820There's half a million jobs in Texas directly in the oil and gas industry.
00:16:40.660There's another 1.5 million dependent on the oil and gas industry.
00:16:44.500And of course, you know, energy touches everything, touches agriculture, touches your, you know, not just the price of the pump, but everything at the grocery store, your clothes, half the items in your house are derived from oil and gas.
00:16:58.500So it's a super important industry, and it's an industry that we should be prioritizing Americans for those high-paying jobs and not someone from another country.
00:17:06.640well it's really as simple as that and and you know to your point as well when people are looking
00:17:13.940at the question of diesel the question of oil president trump making obviously this and and
00:17:19.400perhaps to ask you on on that topic president trump making this um this diesel deal internationally
00:17:25.320with russia and and others do you think that that's something that if we have more deregulation
00:17:30.540out of texas that would be able to help farmers up there that are now hurting in places like iowa
00:17:35.120in Kansas? Yeah, listen, I think President Trump rightly sees the importance of energy prices and
00:17:42.260the free flow of energy around the world. I mean, that's why I focused on Venezuela.
00:17:46.620You know, whether you agree or disagree with the war effort, I think, you know,
00:17:49.780securing free flow of oil through the straight up Hormuz is important. You know, the deal in
00:17:55.820Greenland, obviously, he is focused on securing American energy or energy for America, I should
00:18:02.700say, because it really fuels everything. And so, you know, I give him a lot of credit for that,
00:18:09.020actually. I think a lot of people miss, you know, the bigger picture there. But, you know, here in
00:18:13.300Texas, deregulating the price to produce oil will lower your price at the pump. You know, the diesel
00:18:20.560deal will help in the short term. But remember, the Biden administration, it used to be the diesel
00:18:25.380was cheaper than regular gasoline. And under the Biden, or excuse me, under the Obama administration,
00:18:30.080They changed the rules on how to refine diesel and made it much more strict, and that raised the price.
00:18:38.000So now that it's $1, $2, $3 more than regular gasoline, and that hurts everybody because that is sort of the industrial or the commercial fuel that moves goods and services around the country and hurts farmers.
00:18:54.300So I think, you know, having that focus is going to be good for the consumer ultimately.
00:18:59.100And that's where we need to be focused.
00:19:00.980Beau French coming up on a quick break.
00:23:38.920And we know that the vice president has been taking the lead on the fraud task force.
00:23:43.480But at the same time, at the end of the day, these systems were set up to benefit Americans.
00:23:47.720And in Texas, those systems were set up to benefit Texans.
00:23:51.600And, in fact, we've been going through and talking about how, in many cases, there are—and, in fact, we had another Republican on who's also running for Congress in Texas.
00:24:03.240We had him on last week, and he was talking about how there will be the individuals who are here that are born to children of—that become children of migrants,
00:24:12.780and then they start applying as Texas-based individuals, even if they're only on a visa, and they apply to the University of Texas as a resident.
00:24:20.920That's not how it's supposed to work, is it?
00:24:23.720Well, I mean, first of all, you know, I've talked a lot about just all of our institutions,0.99
00:24:27.340how they seem to have prioritized people who are not Americans.0.87
00:24:30.140And even in Texas, you know, our universities accept illegal aliens as in-state residents.
00:24:35.680And so those are counted against the Texans who ought to be getting those positions.0.97
00:24:39.400And obviously the children of H-1Bs, you know, fall into that category as well.0.89
00:24:44.320And so, look, I think just most people understand that this is fundamentally unfair.1.00
00:24:48.480If your family's been here for generations paying into the system and then someone shows up five minutes ago and can displace your children, I mean, I think that the average person, the average voter, and look, like I said, I've traveled the state, I've talked to people all over Texas, and I have yet to meet anybody who seems to think that that is a fair system.
00:25:07.620No, it's not fair at all. And it's putting prioritization over people who aren't from our country, people who shouldn't be getting the benefit of those systems in the first place if they were set up directly for Texans, directly for the American people.
00:25:24.300It's really as simple as that. And in many cases, though, the universities like it because they get to pay full freight and sometimes as much as four times as many as an in-state resident or just a domestic student writ large.
00:25:38.040Beau French, we talked a little bit at the top. We're going to do it here as well. It is the first day of early voting in Texas. So we have a huge audience in Texas. Tell them what they should be doing.
00:25:47.760Yeah. So first of all, we have the most conservative America first slate of Republicans on the statewide ballot in Texas we've ever had. We have an incredible warrior in Ken Paxton at the top of the ticket, who's been, in my opinion, and I think Donald Trump said this the other day, the best attorney general in the country.
00:26:06.080And he's going to make a great senator. He's running against an absolute Marxist communist kook named James Tallarico. And then all the way down, you know, Governor Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.0.97
00:26:18.900We have an incredible, you know, candidate running for attorney general in Mays Middleton.
00:26:24.500Agricultural commissioner is Nate Sheets.
00:26:28.720We have just Don Huffines for comptroller.
00:26:31.000I mean, we have, like I said, the most conservative America first, just total patriots on our side of the ballot.
00:26:38.260And the Democrats have the most radical people they have.
00:26:42.080I mean, Gina Hinojosa, who's running against Governor Abbott, was ranked as the most liberal member of the state legislature.
00:26:48.900My opponent, you know, obsesses about trans kids, just like James Tallarico.
00:26:54.000He's been the grand marshal of LGBT parades.
00:38:55.220But these diesel prices obviously is something that he's trying to fight and making this deal with Russia.
00:39:01.560It's got a lot of people raising their raising the cankles up.
00:39:06.040And you'll be able to see me. I just pre-taped an episode of the Piers Morgan show where we got into it over this deal.
00:39:14.300Some people saying that he he shouldn't do it. How dare he cut a deal like this?
00:39:17.880And I made the point that I think he's trying to help the American worker and the American farmer who eventually,
00:39:23.840but indirectly, will help the American consumer by bringing down prices and trying to fight
00:39:29.540inflation. But of course, there's a lot of globalists that don't want to see the president
00:39:34.600doing things like this. So I want to walk you guys through those geopolitics. And I thought,
00:39:40.120who better than Alex Evkarian, the COO of Allegiance Gold and co-founder? He joins us now.
00:39:45.120Alex, how are you? I'm well. Thanks for having me, Jack.
00:39:48.900So I got to tell you, man, and this, you know, little spoiler alert, I guess, that the globalists were none too happy with me when I said, well, I think it's a good idea that President Trump is cutting a diesel deal.
00:40:02.080And by the way, they said, how dare you?
00:44:19.520American energy independence is something that we actually have in our back pocket.
00:44:24.260Did you know that we have more oil than Russia and Saudi Arabia combined?
00:44:30.400It's not a lack of not having the resource.
00:44:33.500It's about the investments, the deregulation, the refining, so on and so forth.
00:44:36.760Now, while we work on a long-term plan for the diesel, the short-term solution is to actually have that come in as soon as possible so that way prices drop.
00:44:46.760To the secondary part of your question, it is in our best interest to maintain dollar dominance.
00:44:54.020That's one of the things that actually has helped us with the export and people buying our debt at a cheaper price.
00:45:00.800This is the whole concept of having the world reserve currency.
00:45:04.400Now, are we devaluing it? Are we losing a little bit of buying power? We are. And that is evident by how much we print it. But make no mistake, we cannot afford losing the world reserve currency specifically with that petrodollar. So this is a two for one deal.
00:45:18.640well and you know when i look at the landscape alex and i'd be remiss if i didn't mention this
00:45:25.340while i'm there but you know gold all i see is an opportunity right now because you got 0.999
00:45:30.020that's on sale you know folks and once president trump is done with all these deals
00:45:34.580people are going to be dreaming of october 19th prices let me give you three reasons let's go
00:45:41.220back to year 2022 when jerome powell decided to raise the interest rates here's what happened
