Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 629 ｜ Inflation, Baby Formula, & Gas： Will It Ever Get Better？｜ Guest： Sen. Marco Rubio

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Tuesday. This episode is brought to you by Good Ranchers.

00:00:05.620 That's American meat delivered right to your front door. Go to goodranchers.com slash Allie. 1.00

00:00:09.740 That's goodranchers.com slash Allie. Okay, guys, today we are talking to Senator Marco Rubio from

00:00:25.940 Florida. We're going to be talking about a few things. We're going to be talking about

00:00:28.940 gas prices, the baby formula shortage that is still going on, inflation, China, all of these

00:00:36.180 big political issues that are really affecting our everyday lives. And I'm going to ask him,

00:00:44.700 okay, what are Republicans doing about it? What are Republicans going to do about it if they take

00:00:49.000 the majority in the fall with the midterm elections? And we are also going to be talking about the

00:00:57.100 culture wars a little bit and why Republicans seem so reticent to engage with the issues that

00:01:04.520 are affecting our children the most. And then at the end, I will ask him about fatherhood because

00:01:10.260 Father's Day is this weekend. And I just want to hear a little bit about what he loves about being

00:01:17.620 a dad. Before we get into the interview, though, I do want to talk about something that happened

00:01:22.580 yesterday. If you haven't listened to yesterday's episode or watched yesterday's episode on YouTube

00:01:27.660 about the Fox News segment that celebrated unabashedly the transition of a small child from

00:01:38.160 a girl into a boy. And I use transition in scare quotes because, of course, we don't believe that

00:01:43.960 it's actually possible even through surgery or hormones to transition your gender. Fox News celebrated 0.60

00:01:51.020 this on America's Newsroom, complete and total propaganda. And we talked about the physical,

00:01:57.540 psychological, and societal consequences to promoting something like this. And I had tweeted

00:02:05.200 about this segment when it happened on Friday. And I tweeted that. Let me pull up the tweet. I tweeted

00:02:13.720 that. I'm stunned that Fox News ran a segment celebrating a girl whose parents transitioned her

00:02:18.540 into a boy when she was five because she apparently told them she was a boy, quote, before she could

00:02:22.960 talk. Absolutely maddening and heartbreaking. So that was my original reaction to it. And I just got

00:02:33.000 word yesterday. I got an email last night after the episode had come out about this subject from Twitter

00:02:41.060 saying that that tweet that I just read to you violated the Twitter rules and that my account

00:02:48.060 had been temporarily suspended. So my account had been locked. Here is the the email that I got.

00:02:54.420 Hi, Ali Bathseki. Your account has been locked for violating the Twitter of the Twitter rules,

00:02:59.480 specifically for violating our rules against hateful conduct. You may not promote violence against

00:03:04.960 threaten or harass other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation,

00:03:11.060 gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. Now,

00:03:19.160 remember what I tweeted. Remember what I said anywhere in that tweet. Did I harass? Did I encourage

00:03:25.200 harassment? Did I encourage violence in any way? No, of course not. See, they are going to side.

00:03:33.040 Twitter is going to side with the people who are actually brutalizing and mutilating children's

00:03:39.480 bodies, the side that is actually promoting physical violence against children because they've decided

00:03:45.920 that that kind of violence is acceptable. But words calling a girl who is objectively a girl,

00:03:52.280 she that is apparently more violent and more dangerous than the actual physical violence 1.00

00:03:57.720 against children that is happening. We read this terrible story that was chronicled on Twitter by

00:04:04.560 someone who has detransitioned. This person explained the physical consequences, the ramifications that he

00:04:12.120 will deal with for the rest of his life because he went through this transition process as a fairly young

00:04:23.680 person. And so this kind of stuff, this kind of promotion and the censorship of the criticism

00:04:30.360 of this kind of promotion of this kind of ideology is actually dangerous. It is deleterious, not just

00:04:38.360 for individuals, but also for society. And I've said this before and I'll say it again. You are more

00:04:44.260 likely to arrive at the truth, whether it's just factual truth, scientific truth, or moral truth about

00:04:50.200 something, not just by assuming that a left-wing narrative is a little bit off or a little bit

00:04:55.000 skewed or a little bit biased, but actually in assuming that the exact opposite is true. Now, of

00:05:00.880 course, that's not always the case, but you are more likely to arrive at a conclusion that is true by

00:05:06.680 assuming that the left-wing narrative about something is completely false, is the exact opposite

00:05:13.260 of true. By simply seeing something that the left says and saying, oh, okay, I believe the opposite of

00:05:19.300 that, you are more likely to arrive at a true conclusion that's certainly true about gender ideology.

00:05:24.680 And so they suspended my account for saying something that is true and then sharing my

00:05:28.960 opinion about it, that it is horrifying, which of course I believe that it is. And Twitter said,

00:05:34.280 okay, you can access your account again in 12 hours if you delete this tweet. Now, this is a little bit

00:05:39.980 of a conflict for me. It's a conflict that a lot of conservative commentators have had to kind of

00:05:45.200 wrestle with. If you delete the tweet, are you then giving in? Are you caving to the pressure of

00:05:52.840 Twitter? And are you then, you know, bowing down to the mob because of this? Are you acquiescing? Are

00:06:00.080 you showing weakness in this way? On the other hand, if you don't delete the tweet and get access

00:06:04.640 to your account, you lose this huge platform. And I understand people say, well, why are you even on

00:06:09.860 Twitter? You know, Twitter is run by communists, which yes, well documented. It absolutely is. Why don't

00:06:15.500 you go to another platform? Well, look, that is also really hard. Twitter kind of has people because

00:06:22.240 that's where the majority of social media users are, at least the ones who talk about news and

00:06:30.220 culture and things like that. And so it's not easy to just say, okay, well, I'm going to go to this other

00:06:35.800 platform that isn't going to discriminate against my views because no one's there. Very few people are

00:06:41.640 there. Things do happen on Twitter and Twitter engagement does translate into other opportunities

00:06:47.320 that give you a platform to talk about the things that matter. For example, when the Dobbs draft leaked

00:06:56.200 a couple months ago, I tweeted about it a lot. Those tweets got a lot of engagement. That translated into

00:07:04.020 me being on several shows to talk about the importance of making abortion illegal, talking

00:07:12.340 about the importance of recognizing the rights of children inside the womb. And I even had a debate

00:07:18.360 on cable news about this. I got to go on Megyn Kelly's show and talk about the importance of the right to 1.00

00:07:25.240 life of these vulnerable babies. And so Twitter engagement can actually translate into getting an even

00:07:32.080 bigger platform to talk about really important issues. So it's not just as easy as saying, well,

00:07:38.660 I'm just going to lose my account and it doesn't matter. There's actually there are actually things

00:07:43.480 to weigh and to wrestle with. And so I was wrestling with this. But then I went on Twitter and it doesn't

00:07:48.820 even let you when you were suspended because this is the second time this has happened to me. The first

00:07:52.840 time was because I called Rachel Levine, who is the assistant health and human services secretary in the

00:07:59.240 Biden administration, I called him him because he is a man, even though he identifies as a woman.

00:08:05.700 And I was suspended for that. And I ended up deleting the tweet so I could get my account back

00:08:13.320 this time wrestling a little bit more. But I went. So I went on Twitter. They don't let you access the

00:08:17.900 DMs or anything. They don't even let you like look at any tweets. And it gave me an option to appeal it,

00:08:24.460 to try to, you know, argue about why I should not be taken off Twitter. And so I just chose appeal and

00:08:37.740 I gave my explanation in the comment box. And I said, I did not encourage I did not encourage

00:08:43.840 harassment or violence or endorse these things at all. I think I said it a little bit more concisely

00:08:49.220 than that because I did it. And to my shock, absolute shock, I got an email from Twitter, maybe an hour

00:08:56.120 later saying, oh, that was an error. That was a mistake. We didn't mean to lock your account. And now you have

00:09:02.820 full access to your account. We apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused. Now, was this really

00:09:09.240 an error? I don't think so. The errors always seem to go one way. And they always seem to be about certain

00:09:17.440 tweets. It's not these errors are never about like, oh, they just accidentally locked my account

00:09:23.780 because of this non-controversial tweet about pizza or something like that. It always is an error that

00:09:31.540 has to do with these tweets that we know that they don't like that include what they would call

00:09:37.040 misgendering. And so I was very surprised that they accepted my appeal. I think it's probably because

00:09:44.000 a lot of people were tweeting about it. Seth Dillon was tweeting about it. Josh Hammer was

00:09:48.420 tweeting about it. I think that got retweeted by Ben Shapiro. And so it was causing quite a bit of

00:09:56.800 backlash. And I appreciate, by the way, everyone who tweeted about it, everyone who sounded the alarm

00:10:01.140 about it. That kind of stuff really does matter. It really does make a difference. So I think it's

00:10:05.940 that Twitter got backlash. And that is why they restored my account. But it's frightening nonetheless.

00:10:11.100 It's disturbing nonetheless. Not only that they that Fox News and Twitter seem to be at least in this

00:10:19.720 like in cahoots. Now, I don't know who reported the tweet. I have my suspicions. But it's just

00:10:24.440 interesting that when it comes to this subject, Fox News and Twitter are apparently at least part of

00:10:29.920 Fox News and Twitter are apparently on the same team here. But also that you can get censored. I mean,

00:10:36.280 just think about this. You can get censored from one of the largest platforms where people are going

00:10:40.560 to get informed and get their news from by because you told the truth. You told the biological truth

00:10:46.700 and you told the truth about what is happening to children and how troubling it is and how brutal it

00:10:52.720 is, what is happening to children's minds and bodies through gender ideology, that you are actually

00:10:57.920 deplatformed for telling the truth. You are never deplatformed for telling a lie as long as the lie

00:11:03.660 affirms a left wing narrative. And you are not censored for actually literally promoting violence,

00:11:10.400 promoting murder, promoting rape, promoting all kinds of assault and encouraging threats towards

00:11:18.480 people as long as you are on the left and you are doing that towards people that the left doesn't

00:11:22.640 like. I mean, just look at the threats against Justice Kavanaugh, Justice Thomas, because of their

00:11:29.100 conservatism. I've reported some of those tweets and Twitter always tells me, oh, they don't they

00:11:33.740 don't violate our they don't violate any of our policies. Isn't that interesting? And actually,

00:11:38.620 we also see that from the Biden administration, that as long as it is violence towards the quote

00:11:43.480 unquote, right group of people, it's not going to receive harsh condemnation. It's just not.

00:11:48.760 Isn't that interesting? Isn't that interesting? Actually, it's not really interesting. It's downright

00:11:54.540 disturbing. And I think we see the writing on the wall where the country will go if someone I don't

00:12:01.440 even know someone somehow we don't push back on this. Of course, we want Elon Musk to take over

00:12:06.600 Twitter because we hope that he will at least care about free speech and not censoring people just

00:12:12.920 because of their political opinions or because they said something that is true. I honestly don't

00:12:17.540 know at this point if that is something that is going to happen. I just have a feeling that that is

00:12:23.960 not going to go through. I don't have any special insight necessarily about that decision making

00:12:29.780 process, but it just seems less likely than it was a couple months ago. So we'll see. I say continue

00:12:38.560 to speak up for that, which is good and right and true. One day I probably will get officially

00:12:43.960 deplatformed for telling the truth about this. But rest assured, I promise you, I will never

00:12:50.480 give in one inch on the gender nonsense ever. I will never affirm that which is not true when

00:12:59.680 it comes to the biological reality of male and female. I will not give in at all. Even if Twitter

00:13:06.980 deplatforms me, even if I somehow lost my job because I refuse to say that a man is a woman, which of course 0.99

00:13:16.680 would not happen at Blaze TV. But I will never give an inch on that madness because I believe not only

00:13:24.560 just in objective reality and truth, but I also believe and know for a fact that this ideology

00:13:30.980 is damaging lives. It's damaging bodies. It's damaging minds. It's damaging families. It's damaging

00:13:36.340 a whole generation of children. And I just refuse to go along with it for the sake of love, for the sake

00:13:41.800 of truth, I will continue to stand up against it along with you guys. So thanks for sharing the

00:13:47.300 arrows with me. Thanks for linking arms with me. We will continue to beat this drum and push back

00:13:52.720 on it because it actually, it matters that much. Senator, thanks so much for joining us. First,

00:14:00.960 I want to talk to you about something that your team just tweeted out about China. We talk about

00:14:05.860 China a lot on this podcast. You tweeted, most Americans don't realize how much of their retirement

00:14:10.820 savings are under the control of the Communist Party of China. Now we read that most people have

00:14:17.200 no idea what the heck you were talking about. That's as frightening as it sounds. So can you

00:14:22.500 explain a little bit about that for us and tell us why it matters? Yeah. And that's why we link this

00:14:28.720 video. We want people to look at that and say, well, let me watch this video and see. So here's what

00:14:32.360 happens, right? Most Americans are not day traders. So if you have investments for your future,

00:14:36.660 you know, it's in a 401k, it's in a pension fund. If you're a federal employee, it's with a thrift

00:14:41.260 savings plan. And those funds invest the money for you. And they invest it all over the place in

00:14:46.640 things you see and things you don't see and in funds that you don't understand what's inside the

00:14:50.560 guts of them. And a lot of times these funds are investing in companies that have links to the

00:14:54.860 Chinese Communist Party or Chinese companies. And the reason why they invest in these companies is

00:14:59.440 because they've made a pretty good rate of return on it. I mean, these companies have grown

00:15:02.340 very quickly. They've been capitalized by American investment money. Again, not day traders or

00:15:06.720 anything like that. It's just everyday, you know, hardworking people that are trying to put some money

00:15:10.660 aside for their future. Now, here's two problems we have. The first is those companies traditionally

00:15:15.220 have not been subject to the same scrutiny. So Chinese companies for years would refuse to live by

00:15:20.280 the auditing rules that every other company listed on our exchanges had to deal with. So you had to

00:15:24.780 actually show them this is how much we made. This is how much we spent. This is how we run our

00:15:28.860 company some transparency. The Chinese law prohibited that from occurring. And the other is

00:15:34.060 these companies, there's no such thing as a private company in China. At the end of the day, every

00:15:38.780 company in China exists because the government and the Communist Party allows it to exist. And so if in

00:15:44.380 the future, we're in a conflict with China, and the Chinese decide, well, here's one of our leverage 0.99

00:15:49.660 points we have over Americans is to threaten their retirement plans is to threaten them. And so you can

00:15:55.440 imagine all of a sudden a bunch of American retirees whose pension funds or whatever they're

00:16:00.640 used for retirement are suddenly collapsing. And they're pressuring their government don't go to

00:16:05.120 war with China, because it's going to ruin our retirement. So it's just one more piece of 1.00

00:16:09.840 leverage that they have over us. And what's going to be done about this?

00:16:12.640 Well, I wanted to start obviously with the thrift savings plan, which is the plan that invests federal

00:16:18.880 money. And here's the absurdity of it. This thrift savings plan, which is the federal 401k for federal

00:16:24.160 employees, including by the way, my staff members of Congress, but also members of the military

00:16:28.400 are investing in Chinese companies linked to the Chinese military. So theoretically, you have you

00:16:32.640 could have an American sailor on a ship whose retirement is being invested in a Chinese military

00:16:40.080 linked company who's designing anti ship missiles to kill him or her. That's the absurdity of it. So we

00:16:47.040 held up. There was these appointments with the thrift savings board. And we actually put a hold on

00:16:52.560 those nominations until we got a letter from them saying that this is an issue that they would take

00:16:56.800 care of. They have fought us for three years on this. Like you would think that we were trying to

00:17:00.400 disband the thrift savings plan. These people fought us left and right on that board to not be

00:17:05.920 prohibited from doing business with companies that are linked to the Chinese military.

00:17:12.000 Axios just reported a few minutes ago that President Biden in an Oval Office meeting last

00:17:16.960 week with key members of his cabinet indicated he's leaning towards removing some products from the

00:17:21.600 Trump administration's China tariffs list. I mean, it's obvious why he's doing this.

00:17:25.520 He thinks this is probably going to ease inflation. Inflation is going to hurt Democrats

00:17:29.840 in the midterms. But do you are you concerned with Biden's policies towards China? Do you think that he

00:17:36.240 is helping empower China even more and giving them more leverage where we should continue to be chipping 0.99

00:17:42.320 away at it? Yeah. Yeah. So the to begin with, the tariffs have absolutely nothing to do with inflation.

00:17:47.840 Nothing. There are two things that are a problem here. The first is they pumped a bunch of money

00:17:51.920 into this economy. We have to remember that Biden and his people were saying inflation was not a big

00:17:55.760 deal. Like, don't worry about it. It's temporary. It's a blip on the screen. It's going to go away.

00:17:59.680 They were saying that and they said that for over a year. So when the people in charge have that

00:18:03.360 attitude, then, you know, you wind up with the situation we have right now. The inflation is being

00:18:07.840 driven by a bunch of money pumped into the economy and supply chain disruptions that were caused by,

00:18:12.960 A, the Chinese factories weren't producing. That's going to happen again. I mean, Shanghai was shut 0.93

00:18:18.400 down for a month. Beijing may get shut down now. Of course, that's a byproduct of our over-dependence

00:18:23.040 on China. And then the other has been with industries in America that were stolen or never

00:18:28.160 restarted as a result of all this. And then just key components embedded. But the number one driver of

00:18:33.280 inflation right now is fuel prices because fuel prices are embedded in the cost of everything.

00:18:38.640 When you go to a grocery store and you buy five pounds of ground beef or a pound of ground beef,

00:18:43.840 whatever you buy, that got there on the truck. That truck uses diesel fuel. The more expensive

00:18:48.800 that diesel fuel, the more they're charging that supermarket for that delivery. The more they

00:18:53.680 charge them for that delivery, the more they're going to charge you when you buy the ground beef.

00:18:57.680 That's a fact. And that's happening in product after product after product.

00:19:01.280 And the reason how we solve the fuel issue, the cost of gasoline and diesel in this country,

00:19:06.480 the answer is not complicated. We have to have more of it. The more of it there is,

00:19:09.600 the lower the price will be. We in America have the ability to produce at least

00:19:13.760 a million barrels of oil a day more than what we're producing now. But Joe Biden can't do that,

00:19:18.240 because if he does that, he has to go to war with the radical leftist elements in his own party.

00:19:23.520 So their ideology is out of touch with reality, and it's keeping them from solving that problem.

00:19:28.080 It's also keeping them from solving the border. It's also keeping them from solving the crime wave.

00:19:31.520 Most people who listen to this podcast are young women. And there's this very popular

00:19:36.800 Instagram account that leans to the left, who is telling her followers that the reason for the 0.67

00:19:42.080 high gas prices is just high demand. Americans are driving too much. They are going on vacation

00:19:48.080 this summer. And that is why the gas prices are so high. That's not really true, is it? That's

00:19:52.480 that's kind of misleading. Well, first of all, we are we are producing a million barrels of oil

00:19:57.360 a day less than we were in 2019. So that's number one. Number two is, are Americans driving more than

00:20:02.240 they were in April of 2020? Yeah, because everything was shut down. Are we driving more than we were in

00:20:06.560 April of 2029 or July of 2029? No, we're not. And and 2019 people are 2019. I'm sorry. Yeah. Well,

00:20:15.040 who knows how much we'll be driving in 2029. But the point is that that we're not. So that's just not

00:20:19.440 true. Demand is up compared to in the middle of COVID when everything was closed. It's certainly

00:20:24.560 back to sort of historical numbers and the notion. But look, you know, embedded in that,

00:20:29.280 I don't know which Instagram account that is, but embedded in that is I'm glad she's writing that

00:20:33.680 because let's not be misled here. The people on the left have been arguing for a long time that the

00:20:39.760 way to get us away from fossil fuels, gas, you know, natural gas, gasoline, petroleum products,

00:20:46.320 is to make it so expensive that people would stop using it. That has always been their plan.

00:20:50.960 Make it more expensive to use that than to use renewables. Make make it more expensive to gas,

00:20:55.680 a gasoline powered car than an electric car. That's their goal. And this is helping them along

00:21:00.640 the road. So they're willing to lose this election if it means that down the road with high gas prices,

00:21:06.000 people will be willing to drive. They want everybody on buses, mass transit and electric cars.

00:21:10.960 That's what they want. And in some places, that's just not feasible. It's not possible. It's not going to

00:21:14.720 happen. But that's what they want. So they like these high prices. If you're from that radical view,

00:21:19.280 others are just apologists are trying to cover for Biden. And so what she's really saying when

00:21:23.200 she writes that is it's your fault. It's your fault that you want to take your family on vacation

00:21:27.200 this summer. You're the reason why there's high gas prices. That's silly.

00:21:30.400 So is there an end in sight? I mean, how does this change? This is something that is

00:21:35.280 affecting people's day to day life, and it affects their ability to function as a family,

00:21:41.120 not just go on vacation, but really just live. So I mean, what does this look like in the next year or so?

00:21:46.080 Well, at some point, you would hope that sanity would prevail and common sense would prevail.

00:21:50.880 But before we get there, I think we're going to have to hit rock bottom in our politics. And that

00:21:54.880 hasn't happened yet. And here's what I mean. I think we could very well see here very soon,

00:21:59.280 the rationing of diesel fuel. There's already a shortage of diesel fuel. There's now talk about

00:22:03.360 having to ration the availability of diesel fuel, which will not only add to the cost, but it will

00:22:08.320 actually lead to supply chain disruptions of all sorts and kinds. I think you could see the rationing of

00:22:13.120 jet fuel, which means it's going to be harder for people to travel. Both jet and diesel fuel right

00:22:17.520 now is at a critical shortage. I think you're going to see some rolling blackouts in some of

00:22:20.880 the utilities in this country because their generation portfolio, how they generate energy,

00:22:25.920 move too quickly to renewables, and they don't have enough of a mix of historic coal or natural gas,

00:22:31.200 or they can't get enough natural gas or whatever it might be. And so in these peak places where you

00:22:36.160 see this peak energy consumption, you're going to have some of these potential disruptions as well.

00:22:41.520 And I think that's the point at which people are really going to break. I think they're going to

00:22:45.360 take it out on them in the elections. But ultimately, I think we're going to have policy

00:22:48.880 leaders have some level of sanity in here and say, look, guys, when times get like this,

00:22:54.400 we have got to produce more oil and we can't let ideology get in the way of common sense,

00:22:58.480 which is what's happening on the left right now. There's a gimmick that is being pushed by at least

00:23:03.440 two senators, Senator Duckworth and Senator Warren. And I'm calling it a gimmick because actually Obama's

00:23:08.320 former economic advisor also called it a gimmick. And that is these anti-price gouging bills for the

00:23:15.440 oil companies. Can you just talk about why those kinds of bills are not actually effective in

00:23:20.960 bringing the price of gas down? Well, a couple of things. Number one,

00:23:24.400 a substantial percentage of what you pay at the pump, people don't realize that the smallest piece

00:23:28.960 goes to the gas station. A large chunk of it goes to local and state taxes. So whatever the taxes are,

00:23:33.840 and that's why you see different gas prices in different parts of the country. And then there's

00:23:37.600 the oil companies. Are the oil companies, for lack of a better term, greedy that they want to make

00:23:41.680 profits? Yeah, they always have. That's the way they've always been. But ultimately, they don't

00:23:45.520 necessarily control the price because the price is set by production. Were they any less greedy two

00:23:50.560 years ago or three years ago when the gas price was 50 percent what it is today? They've always wanted to

00:23:55.440 make money. The fact of the matter is there are people are traveling and using gasoline around the

00:24:01.520 world as much as they did pre-pandemic, and there's not as much of it. And as a result,

00:24:06.080 the price went up. And there's not as much of it because the OPEC countries are saying,

00:24:09.440 why would we increase production at this point? We're recouping all our losses. And in America,

00:24:14.400 it's off the market. They're controlled by green radicals. And so what you have is this very weird, 0.89

00:24:19.360 strange, absurd situation where you have Joe Biden about to get on an airplane and travel to the

00:24:24.320 Middle East to beg the Saudis to produce more oil, hopes to have a deal with Iran so they'll produce 0.50

00:24:29.520 more oil. That won't make a difference, by the way. The market's already priced in an Iran deal,

00:24:33.840 the expectation of an Iran deal, trying to cut a deal with Venezuela for more oil, which also won't

00:24:38.480 make a difference because they can't produce more oil because communism has destroyed their

00:24:43.680 productive capacity and they give 80 percent of it to China anyway as a payment for the money they owe

00:24:48.320 them. So it's a weird situation that we have in place here. So I think it is a gimmick. I don't think

00:24:56.000 it works. It won't make a difference. At the end of the day, these prices are set by global market.

00:25:00.320 It's very simple. If somebody was able, if in fact I was charging too much for oil, my company,

00:25:06.880 some other company would say, hey, I can steal some other business. If I just lower the price

00:25:10.800 by a little bit, I can undercut you and I can take away your business. My oil is cheaper than

00:25:14.800 your oil. That's what would be happening. That's not what's happening. And the reason why it's not

00:25:18.320 happening is this is a supply and demand issue. The supply is up to historic numbers. The demand is up to

00:25:22.640 historic numbers. The supply has been restricted. And one of the world's leading oil producers,

00:25:26.640 the United States, refuses to produce more oil because we have an administration that's, for example,

00:25:31.920 going to banks and saying, don't lend money for new oil exploration. Don't do business with oil

00:25:37.440 companies or natural gas companies. Yeah. Green energy is such a racket, not only because we are

00:25:44.160 asking these other countries to pump more oil. So obviously we're not against supplying more, but also

00:25:49.440 because it requires fossil fuels to make the electric cars that they say are going to solve this problem.

00:26:01.120 There's one more thing I want to ask you about that a lot of women are concerned with, 1.00

00:26:04.960 particularly women who listen to this podcast because they're young moms, and that is the baby

00:26:08.560 formula crisis. And so kind of similar to the anti-price gouging bills that we're seeing in the Senate,

00:26:13.760 the bills that passed in the House really didn't address the problem. They gave more

00:26:19.120 money to the FDA rather than holding the FDA accountable. And so what do you think the

00:26:23.520 solution is to the baby formula shortage? Well, and we asked the president to do it a

00:26:28.720 week before he did, which is to invoke the Defense Production Act, which is to actually allow the

00:26:32.880 government to get involved in mandating the creation of this and basically to take charge of the productive

00:26:38.320 capacity in a short-term emergency. The other is to allow the importation of a formula from other

00:26:44.800 parts of the world, which we've tightly restricted, but in this case should be allowing, unfortunately,

00:26:48.480 because of that shortage of this couple of plants that shut down as a result of a safety situation

00:26:52.800 back in December or November of last year. So common sense would tell you, okay, these guys have 50%

00:26:57.680 of the market because there's really only two major formula producers in America. One of them is closed.

00:27:04.240 They're not producing. We're going to have a shortage. Like when you take the largest company

00:27:08.800 in America and not allow them to produce a certain type of formula for a month, for two months, for

00:27:13.040 three months, eventually when the inventory is used up, you're going to have a shortage. That was

00:27:16.960 common sense. Nobody can, to this day, no one in the Biden administration can tell you who was in

00:27:21.280 charge of addressing that. Who was in charge of identifying, guys, we have a problem here and we're

00:27:26.720 not producing formula. And in three months, we're going to have a critical shortage. And I can tell you,

00:27:31.120 when my first child was born, my oldest daughter now, she had a particular food allergy. And so she

00:27:35.840 had to have a very specific formula that we needed to find. I'll never forget. It was not easy to find

00:27:42.000 as it is, but we were able to do that. And we, I can't imagine and what people are going through

00:27:47.280 now. I think 33 straight states have critical shortages where in some counties in those states,

00:27:51.920 the availability of it is zero. And so people are hunting, traveling long distances with very

00:27:58.560 expensive gas to try to find baby formula. And you hear stories of people coming up to you saying,

00:28:03.680 you know, I have to travel to, you know, they live in Miami. I have to go all the way to Martin County

00:28:09.600 to find a store that has any of this formula, but I can't afford the gas. And so it's a terrible

00:28:14.800 situation that needs to be corrected. And it really has to do with incompetence in this case. And as you

00:28:19.680 said, total lack of accountability on the part of the FDA, but writ large, the Biden administration.

00:28:25.280 So is it going to change? Like, do you see a light at the end of the tunnel for this?

00:28:31.360 I do only in the sense that this factory's back up and running and eventually that productive

00:28:35.200 capacity will catch up, but there's still a lag time, right? Just because they produce formula

00:28:38.960 this morning, by the time that gets to the store shelves, there's weeks in between.

00:28:43.120 And I would also say that like anything else that's being transported in America,

00:28:46.320 if the price of diesel climbs, that price of that formula, when it gets there,

00:28:50.320 is still going to be high. So we can't protect it from inflation in that way by producing it,

00:28:54.640 but we can certainly deal with the availability part of it. But in the interim, this is something

00:28:58.640 that ever should have happened. In the United States of America, the most advanced economy

00:29:02.080 in the world, we should never have a baby formula shortage. That just should never happen.

00:29:06.640 Right. And Americans are doing what they always do in the same way that they help small businesses

00:29:11.920 who are shut down by Democrats policies and the lockdowns. They've created formula exchanges.

00:29:16.960 Women are donating either formula or breast milk. And so Americans are always on the hook,

00:29:23.840 making up for the incompetence of a lot of the people in charge who are continually failing us

00:29:28.960 for whatever reason. One thing that you have possibly faced a little bit of criticism for

00:29:36.240 is voting yes on the $40 billion to Ukraine. I think a lot of people are looking at all the issues that

00:29:41.280 we are facing today here at home. And they're like, why are we sending this much money over to Ukraine?

00:29:46.240 Not that they don't care about what's happening there. But, you know, for some people,

00:29:50.560 it may seem like a misalignment of priorities. So what would your response be to that?

00:29:54.160 Yeah. It's a valid question. I have people in my own family that asked me about it. So here's

00:29:58.240 the two things I would say. But one is we gave Ukraine a bunch of our own equipment,

00:30:01.760 right? Like when you say you're going to send them ammunition or missiles to shoot down things,

00:30:07.600 these things come from us. They're from our stockpiles. So now they have it. So now we need it.

00:30:12.240 So most of that money, substantial percentage of that money was simply to buy

00:30:16.000 stuff we gave them. So we have it for ourselves. We have to replace it. So that costs money.

00:30:21.840 Could it have been a smaller package? Sure. But about over close to half of that was simply us

00:30:27.040 buying new equipment that we had donated or given to them. The second piece I would make is the

00:30:32.080 following. And this is broader and it requires kind of to view the world larger in a larger context.

00:30:37.040 China's watching what's happening in Europe very closely. And China, as you know, has intent on 0.92

00:30:41.600 taking back Taiwan either voluntarily in the Taiwanese case or by force. And one of the

00:30:46.160 things they're looking at is let's see how the United States and the West reacts in Ukraine,

00:30:50.640 because if they're not willing to do much or they're only willing to do lip service on Ukraine,

00:30:56.000 then they're certainly not going to get involved in a Taiwan situation. And the day that China takes

00:31:01.920 Taiwan and we do nothing about it, that will be the moment in human history in which the world will 1.00

00:31:06.320 conclude that China has surpassed the United States and is now the world's most powerful country.

00:31:11.120 And so one of the things that could encourage China to do that earlier than they planned

00:31:16.640 is that they come to believe that no matter what happens with Taiwan, we may talk tough,

00:31:20.400 but we're not going to do anything about it, especially if they decide that if we didn't do

00:31:24.000 anything about Ukraine, we're not going to do anything about China. So this messaging matters,

00:31:27.200 just as I'm convinced that the disastrous pull out of Afghanistan. And I thought that war needed 1.00

00:31:31.760 to end. But the way we did it encouraged Putin to do what he's done in Ukraine, because he says,

00:31:35.840 if these guys don't even know how to get out of a war, how are they possibly going to do anything to

00:31:39.040 stop me from taking a country that I want to take? So I do think we have to view it through

00:31:42.720 that lens as well. That said, I said it at the time and I'll say it to you again. Now,

00:31:46.240 we can't be writing, you know, 40 billion dollar checks every three months. I think we've done a

00:31:50.640 lot to help Ukraine. I want us to continue to be helpful to them. But it certainly can't be an

00:31:54.640 open ended forever because we've got some issues we've got to confront here, including our national debt.

00:31:58.800 One issue or set of issues that a lot of Americans wish the GOP would focus more on

00:32:04.880 is the culture war, specifically as it involves our children. And you tweeted kind of a picture of

00:32:11.040 this, what I thought was a horrifying, quote unquote, family friendly drag queen brunch that 0.99

00:32:16.880 apparently happened in Texas. You tweeted, most people realize drag shows for little kids is crazy, 0.73

00:32:21.520 but many won't say anything publicly because they know for most people speaking up comes with a heavy

00:32:27.280 price. Of course, I found this to be true as well, including for a lot of Republican politicians.

00:32:32.080 Why do you think it is that Democrats, they are always willing and ready to be on the front lines

00:32:37.120 of the culture war? They see it as more of a moral and even philosophical and theological war

00:32:43.920 than Republicans do. It seems to me like Republicans just kind of don't want to talk about these things.

00:32:49.760 They're afraid of the backlash. They're afraid of the progressive lobby, whatever it is.

00:32:54.240 Um, why do you think that is? And do you think that can change if Republicans take the majority

00:33:00.160 this fall? So what I'm about to use as an example, an analogy here could apply to any industry. I'm

00:33:05.040 just going to pick one. Let's say you wanted to have a career in finance, right? So you went to one of

00:33:09.920 these colleges, you spent a lot of money to go to this college, you have a great credential to begin

00:33:14.080 with. Uh, while you're in that college, there's a very clear risk reward system in place. So as an

00:33:20.800 example, if you go out and you put the right stickers on your laptop, you know, with all,

00:33:25.520 whatever the social cause of the month is, and you join the right clubs and you tweet and say

00:33:30.480 the right things, and you have your pronouns on your social media page, there's rewards for that.

00:33:35.440 You get rewarded for that. You get promoted, you get, you know, all kinds of positive feedback for

00:33:40.240 doing that. If you say nothing, you may not get punished, but you won't certainly won't be rewarded.

00:33:45.760 And if you speak out against those things, if you have stickers on your laptop, for example,

00:33:51.360 attending one of these elite colleges that has a, you know, Trump 2024 or Trump 2020,

00:33:56.560 a bumper sticker or sticker on it, you're going to be punished. You're going to be called a white 0.98

00:34:00.400 supremacist, a hater, whatever it might be. Okay. That's just in college. Now you graduate and you

00:34:05.200 go on to the real world and you have to send applications and go interview with people. If your

00:34:09.200 resume talks about your activism on these issues, you use the right phraseology because these people

00:34:13.440 have invented a brand new language, right? It's not English. It's this brand new language with key

00:34:17.760 phrases about inclusivity, diversity, equity, you know, all these words that they throw out there.

00:34:24.320 What's the other intersectionality that you turn all these words, you use the right words and how

00:34:29.840 you describe what you've done and studied. You have your pronouns listed on your resume and so forth.

00:34:36.880 You're rewarded for that. You're rewarded with all kinds of benefits, promotions,

00:34:40.640 getting hired, jobs, people saying nice things about you, people in power.

00:34:44.800 If you don't have that on there, you're at a disadvantage. And if you have the opposite on

00:34:48.800 there, right? If you actually have a history, they can go through your social media account and they

00:34:52.480 find out, oh my gosh, this person was involved in the Federalist Society or this person was involved

00:34:57.120 in the college Republicans. There's a punishment attached to it. And that's true in profession after

00:35:02.400 profession and field after field. Now, for a lot of Americans, you have a business or you're in,

00:35:06.960 you work somewhere. You just don't need the hassle. You don't need the hassle. So you just try to avoid

00:35:11.760 it. And I know a lot of people that have gone through that. You know, they try to avoid it. If you

00:35:15.680 come for their kids, that's a different story. Then they'll react. But for a lot of people, they've

00:35:19.760 decided, look, I know the cost benefit analysis. I either A, have to cave in and go along with this

00:35:24.800 stuff just because, you know, that's what, that's the price of getting ahead. Or I sort of have to stay

00:35:29.920 quiet and bite my tongue and pretend that I agree without actually going too far because otherwise I'm

00:35:35.360 going to pay a price for it. And that's what's happening. So look, I don't care where you go to

00:35:39.520 a lot of Democrats and you ask them, do you think it's normal? Do you think it's okay

00:35:43.280 for six-year-old kids to be taken and have these events hosted where drag queens are reading stories 1.00

00:35:49.040 to them, where men dressed up as women are reading stories to them? Most people tell them, no,

00:35:52.960 I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't, you know, take them there. I wouldn't do it. And we certainly shouldn't

00:35:56.080 be using government money like we were about to in an Air Force base in Germany before we wrote a letter

00:36:00.880 about it to be doing that kind of stuff. But there's a lot of people in positions of power

00:36:05.040 who do think this is a healthy activity and will punish anyone who speaks out against it as being

00:36:12.400 a transphobe or homophobe or whatever terminology they want to come up with.

00:36:17.040 Yeah, I think a lot of Republicans just seem really reticent to even talk about these culture

00:36:21.600 war issues, I guess, for the reasons that you listed. But that really sucks. I mean, that sucks for

00:36:26.320 the rest of us. People shouldn't be, you know, looking to commentators, people like me to be

00:36:31.680 fighting on the front lines. We really should be able to kind of expect our representatives to be

00:36:36.800 on the front lines of these of these issues. I mean, we've got Republican governors, Republican

00:36:41.200 legislatures in states across the country who are unwilling to, for example, protect women's sports or 1.00

00:36:46.400 to protect children from a lot of this predation because it's just too toxic for them or they're just

00:36:52.240 too scared to touch that. Democrats don't seem too scared to touch any issue. And it's for the reasons

00:36:57.680 that you listed. All the institutions are dominated by leftism. There are rewards for that. There are

00:37:02.640 penalties for, you know, for being on the other side. But it does seem like there is kind of newfound

00:37:10.160 courage from some governors like Ron DeSantis and saying, OK, I'm going to use all of the tools

00:37:16.240 constitutionally available to me to push back against these entities that are trying to subvert

00:37:21.920 the will of the majority of Floridians, like in the whole Disney privilege case when that was revoked

00:37:27.760 because they spoke out against the against the law. So I'm wondering, what is your take on that?

00:37:32.700 What's your take on Governor DeSantis's strategy and kind of pushing this culture war politically?

00:37:39.260 Well, and I think those issues in many ways have come to them, right? He's not out there provoking

00:37:43.160 these things. These things are happening and he's reacting to them inappropriately. So here's what I

00:37:46.840 would say. If you're a Democrat, of course, you're not in fear of doing these things, at least

00:37:50.600 except for the day, you know, except for election day when people with common sense actually punish

00:37:55.560 you for it. But every other day, if you're involved in this stuff, virtually every major

00:37:59.440 media outlet in America is going to support you. I mean, and that's extended to sports coverage now.

00:38:05.120 I mean, there's really no part of entertainment, media, whatever, for the most part, with the

00:38:08.800 exception of Fox News, some online outlets. But basically, everyone's going to support you.

00:38:13.680 You're not going to get taken down from Twitter or Facebook if you're in favor of these things.

00:38:17.800 And in fact, you might even be promoted and by some of their algorithms if you do some

00:38:21.740 of this stuff. So all the rewards are there for them to do it. If you're a Republican and

00:38:25.340 you speak out against this, you're going to be labeled as a homophobe, as a hater, as

00:38:29.240 transphobe, as, you know, all these sorts of things. Now, if you have a platform or you

00:38:33.400 have a megaphone like a governor does at a state and to some extent some of us in national

00:38:37.640 government, you can defend yourself. And the whole lie about don't say gay, that law

00:38:43.440 has nothing to do that. That is a complete and total lie. You want to talk about

00:38:46.460 disinformation. That should have been labeled as disinformation. It was a flat out blatant

00:38:50.600 lie. Now, fortunately, the governor of Florida has the megaphone and the courage to expose

00:38:55.760 it for the lie that it is. But if you're some obscure state legislator that no one knows

00:39:00.580 and you just get labeled this way, you know, by everybody who covers you, you're really

00:39:05.440 defenseless in terms of how you can protect yourself. And yet, you know, many members of

00:39:09.620 the state legislature stepped forward and did that. So I think it really has to do a lot

00:39:13.140 with that, the price you pay, the controversy that surrounds it. Some people either don't

00:39:17.560 feel like they have the bandwidth or frankly don't want to deal with the hassle of that.

00:39:21.060 But I think that's changing. I really do. And I think the reason why it's changing is

00:39:24.460 because there's a lot of people out there that agree with you. And I think the growing

00:39:28.860 realization that I've seen among Republicans that the bottom line is this. If most Americans

00:39:33.900 believed a third of what mainstream corporate media writes or says about us, there wouldn't be

00:39:38.960 an elected Republican in the country. I think that they just simply don't have the influence

00:39:43.380 or the credibility they did even a decade ago. And that's their own fault for lying and for putting

00:39:48.960 things out there that are distorted.

00:39:50.760 And that's exactly right. And I think that's what Republicans, even the obscure Republican

00:39:56.040 legislator needs to realize is that the people that are backing you do not care if you're called

00:40:01.420 a homophobe. They don't care if you're called a transphobe. And so I think what more Republicans

00:40:05.740 need to do is realize that we want more politicians to stand up and say, I don't care. I don't care

00:40:12.120 what you call me. And I know that's easier said than done. But if you've got obscure individuals

00:40:16.060 doing that, willing to say, you know what, I'm not going to sell this cake. I'm not going to sell

00:40:19.600 this flower arrangement because it's against my personal beliefs. Then certainly people with some

00:40:24.640 kind of bully pulpit, even if it's small, should have the courage to be able to do that. And I think

00:40:29.640 you're right. I think that absolutely is changing. And I hope and pray that's true.

00:40:35.740 If Republicans do gain a majority in Congress this fall, what are some what are some priorities

00:40:46.000 for you guys? Well, I think as a senator, I think the number one priority that I would say,

00:40:51.380 and that's not the number one priority overall for the party and for the movement, is that our job is

00:40:55.300 to confirm people. And we've got some of the wildest, most left wing people being nominated by this

00:41:02.260 administration to position after position. We have a nominee now to the FCC that's openly

00:41:06.740 called Fox News, as an example, a state-sponsored media. And if it was up to her, she would shut it

00:41:13.420 down. And she's going to be one of the commissioners, the tie-breaking vote on the FCC.

00:41:17.340 So just being able to stop bad nations is a really big deal. Obviously, we're not a defensive

00:41:21.900 movement. There's things I want us to be about. And this is my personal view. I'm not sure it's shared

00:41:25.560 by everybody. But I really think the Republican Party needs to be a party that represents working

00:41:31.220 class common sense values in American government. And what I mean by that is the following. I always

00:41:37.320 explain this very carefully. I believe in capitalism and free enterprise 100%. I do. I think it's I think

00:41:43.940 socialism is destructive and it's evil. I'm not for socialism. I'm not for government control and

00:41:48.380 means of production. I do know, however, that we have a market that serves people, not people to serve

00:41:53.960 the market. And the fundamental question we have to ask ourselves is, what do we do when the market

00:41:58.860 outcome is not in our national interest? As an example, the market outcome tells us, let's buy more

00:42:04.360 stuff from China because they do it cheaper. But it's not really a market outcome. It's a manipulated,

00:42:10.120 distorted outcome because they're subsidizing their industries. They're cheating. They're stealing.

00:42:15.000 They're banning our industries from developing. It is not in our national interest to depend on China 0.98

00:42:19.840 for medicine like we do, for rare earth minerals like we do. In those instances, we have to have

00:42:25.380 an answer for that. And that's the first thing I would tell you that we have to get back to. The

00:42:29.620 second is there are things we have to be able to make in America. There just are. There's a reason

00:42:33.400 why we have we wouldn't have an airplane industry if the Defense Department didn't require airplanes to

00:42:38.240 be made in America. We wouldn't have a shipbuilding industry if they didn't require. And there is a reason 1.00

00:42:41.840 why we have that in place because we don't ever want to have to buy our airplanes from a foreign country

00:42:46.180 because they could cut us off. The third I think we have to understand is there are two things we're

00:42:50.900 for economic growth, but we also have to have dignified work. They have to go hand in hand.

00:42:55.540 We can have the fastest growing economy in the world. And that's a good thing. But if it's not

00:43:00.200 creating good paying jobs that allow people to do some very basic things, get married, start a family,

00:43:07.420 own a home, retire with dignity, leave your kids better off than yourselves. If your economy is not

00:43:12.100 producing jobs that allow people to do that, then our culture, our society is going to crumble. It

00:43:17.380 won't be able to coexist. You can't be. The fact that we're generating economic growth alone won't

00:43:21.820 help you. That growth doesn't lead to the production of good paying jobs for Americans. And there's been

00:43:26.180 a disconnect over the last 20 years, I would say even in the center right, between economic growth

00:43:31.820 and the production and the creation of good, solid, dignified work for Americans. It hasn't always

00:43:37.020 worked out that way. Sometimes we have big economic growth and we have great corporate returns

00:43:40.960 on a quarterly basis. But it's not because they created good jobs for Americans. It's because

00:43:44.660 they were able to take those jobs somewhere else and produce the same thing at a cheaper price.

00:43:49.660 There comes a point, right, where that is not good for America and that's not good for our country.

00:43:53.900 And it's going to lead to real problems. So these are the kinds of things that I think we have to be

00:43:57.880 for. And how do we reorient in the 21st century our economic policies to the realization that China 0.77

00:44:03.140 is not going to become like us now that they're rich. They're going to continue to cheat and steal

00:44:08.360 and we have to protect ourselves from it or we're going to wind up in a very bad place here

00:44:12.220 before the end of this decade. And I think associated with that, of course, there's a lot

00:44:16.200 of other important issues that we have to deal with, you know, public safety and security.

00:44:20.120 You know, as a party, I would say to you that we've learned the lessons that we've forgotten

00:44:23.300 from the 90s. The way to bring down crime is to arrest criminals and put them in jail for a long

00:44:28.160 time. The more criminals are on the street, the more crime you're going to have. When you refuse to

00:44:32.440 prosecute criminals, when you decide to release them early from jail, when in some cases you won't even

00:44:37.260 arrest them, you're going to have more crime. And I think associated with that is for the first

00:44:41.800 time in American history, we don't have effective control of our borders. We don't have effective

00:44:46.340 control. Our border today is as controlled as much by Mexican drug cartels as they are by American 0.86

00:44:51.720 officials. And that can't continue. They are flooding our country with fentanyl. We are six,

00:44:57.200 7,000 people illegally a day. We have caravans of 15,000 people headed here. Because when you tell 0.97

00:45:02.160 people don't come, but if you do, we're going to let you stay. They're going to come. And that's what's

00:45:06.180 happening. Yep, absolutely. So basically, it's putting American interests first by prioritizing

00:45:12.000 American production and prioritizing American protection. And I'm so glad to hear you say

00:45:16.780 that about American production and manufacturing. I think you're absolutely right. I'm so glad that

00:45:20.960 you'll be spearheading that and that you are spearheaded not already. We only have a few seconds

00:45:24.920 left. It's Father's Day this weekend. Can you just tell us the best part, your favorite part

00:45:30.220 about being a dad? I think the best part about being a dad for me is I understand it's the most

00:45:35.780 influential job I'll ever have. And just to see sort of your kids develop and take off their own

00:45:41.800 interests, their own success. I didn't really understand that 10 years ago that you had asked

00:45:45.180 me. But now that I have two kids that are adults, one that's a year away from being an adult, one

00:45:48.640 that's just starting high school, you suddenly start to see them developing in their interests and

00:45:54.240 what they want to do. And it's rewarding to have been able to influence that and provide them those

00:45:58.620 opportunities. And you really do end up living through your kids. And you would ask me what's

00:46:04.140 changed the most in my life in the last 10 years. It's the realization that at the end of my life,

00:46:08.700 none of these other things I've done or will do will matter nearly as much as the time I spent with

00:46:13.500 my family and with my children. And I remember my own dad, who wasn't a big talker. He wasn't the

00:46:17.760 kind that would sit you down and give you a bunch of lectures. I learned from his example. He went to

00:46:21.820 work every day and he came home every day on time to his family. And he did that throughout my entire

00:46:27.200 life. And just the example that he set is the one I hope to set for my children. I hope my children

00:46:33.260 will set for theirs. Amen. Well, thank you so much, Senator. I really appreciate you taking the time

00:46:37.920 to talk to us today. Thank you so much for having me on. All right, guys, hope you enjoyed that

00:46:44.840 episode. As always, if you love this podcast, please leave a five star review wherever you listen. I'm

00:46:50.500 super excited for tomorrow's interview with Julie Kelly. She is a senior writer at the American

00:46:55.120 Greatness Magazine. And she is she has been probably the number one reporter about January 6th and the

00:47:06.960 treatment of the people who are imprisoned because of their involvement with January 6th. And because

00:47:12.460 there is a hearing going on in Congress this week about January 6th and how Trump was involved in all

00:47:18.960 of it. I wanted to talk to her. She's a very unique perspective. She has been beating this drum

00:47:22.740 for a long time, really since January 6th, 2021. And so she's going to offer us a lot of insight into

00:47:31.360 what is really going on and why we should all care. So I'm looking forward to you hearing about

00:47:36.680 that. And then Thursday will be the conversation with my dad. You guys sent me a lot of questions

00:47:42.880 for him. And not just fatherhood questions, but also trying to break down the political issues that

00:47:50.580 we are facing in a way that makes sense to all of us. He is really good at doing that. And so I know

00:47:55.160 that you're going to absolutely love that interview on Thursday. Reminder, also, I am on vacation next

00:48:00.900 week. I think we will have two new episodes come out. And so make sure that you tune in for those. But

00:48:06.560 it'll be a little bit different of a week because I will be on a break as well the rest of my team.

00:48:12.280 So I will see you guys back here tomorrow with Julie Kelly.
