Relatable with Allie Beth Stuckey - Ep 646 ｜ Are Climate Lockdowns Coming？｜ Guest： Jacki Daily

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Wednesday. This episode is brought to you by our friends at

00:00:04.380 Good Ranchers. Go to GoodRanchers.com slash Allie. That's GoodRanchers.com slash Allie.

00:00:18.340 All right. Today we are talking again to Jackie of the Jackie Daily Show. She is our resident

00:00:24.860 energy expert. So she is going to tell us why gas prices seem to be trickling down slowly but

00:00:31.340 surely, why they were up in the first place. But we're also going to talk about Joe Biden's trip

00:00:36.940 to Saudi Arabia, where he begged them to produce more oil, even while he is trying to declare some

00:00:43.900 kind of climate emergency here. And part of that plan is that he is going to stop the production

00:00:49.160 of oil, or at least somewhat. And so we're going to talk about this whole disaster, but we're also

00:00:54.660 going to look at it really big picture towards the end of the conversation. Why is this happening?

00:01:00.660 What's the purpose behind it? Even what are the theological implications of all of this? You're

00:01:06.700 going to absolutely love this conversation. No one breaks down the oil and gas industry and energy

00:01:12.580 policies quite like Jackie. Love her so much. If you haven't listened to our last conversation from a

00:01:18.040 few months ago, go back and listen to that. This is a great continuation of that conversation. You're

00:01:24.380 going to learn so much. But before we get into that conversation, I have got to talk about our

00:01:30.520 girl AOC and her brave civil rights activism. And just, I mean, she was brutally, brutally arrested

00:01:41.040 yesterday for putting her body on the line for bodily autonomy. And so I've just, I've just got to,

00:01:47.940 I've got to play you this incredibly heroic clip.

00:02:01.760 I mean, look at the strength of that woman. Number one, how just awesome and tough do you have to be 1.00

00:02:12.460 to wear a wool peacoat in 95 degree weather in Washington, DC? That's amazing. And just look how

00:02:20.900 strong she is that she had her hands behind her back handcuffed. You know, those invisible handcuffs 1.00

00:02:27.020 that police use, you know, the really scary type. She was so strong that she reached her wrist out of 0.99

00:02:34.440 those invisible handcuffs and she put it in the air like the communist activist she is. And it was just, 0.80

00:02:40.980 it was amazing. So yeah, if you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to watch this on YouTube.

00:02:47.200 If you're listening to this, she puts her hands behind her back. Okay. She's being led away because

00:02:53.360 she's blocking traffic. She's protesting for the right to dismember babies inside the womb. The police

00:03:01.800 officer is like barely grabbing her arm, leading her away. And she and Ilhan Omar decided to put their

00:03:09.180 hands behind their backs. And then you can see in this picture that's up on YouTube. They did this

00:03:16.680 because they knew that the media was just going to take a picture like this from the front so that

00:03:21.320 their hands are behind their back. So it looks like they're being arrested, but they're not.

00:03:24.780 They're not being arrested at all. They're just being led away. And they don't have any handcuffs on

00:03:30.620 at all. You know, like that story that I tell you guys about how when I got sealants,

00:03:35.940 when I was little and the dental hygienist told me that there are visible Backstreet Boys stickers

00:03:41.020 on my molars. And I was really excited about that. And it took me like 10 years to realize

00:03:47.340 that she wasn't telling me the truth, that I actually didn't have invisible

00:03:51.500 Nick Carter's on my molars, on my sealants. This is kind of like that. Maybe AOC

00:03:59.100 and Ilhan Omar were told that really they have invisible handcuffs on. I'm not, I'm not really

00:04:06.540 sure what went down here, but they actually had the audacity to like stick up their fist in communist

00:04:12.520 protest, even while they were pretending to have their hand handcuffs all for the sake of abortion.

00:04:17.780 You guys, I mean, these people are not well, they're not well, they're not well. They are,

00:04:22.880 we live truly, truly in an idiocracy, unfortunately. And, and that actually ties into this conversation.

00:04:30.640 Some of the worst people, the most manipulative people, and truly the lowest IQ people. Can I say

00:04:36.240 that? I think that's a pretty, that's a pretty nice description of people who are going out there

00:04:41.060 and protesting for the sake of killing children. These are the same people who want to run your life

00:04:47.080 through destructive climate policy. So without further ado, we're going to talk to Jackie about

00:04:55.160 what seems like a controlled demolition through climate change policy in just a second.

00:05:10.520 Jackie, thanks so much for joining us again. All right. People might be noticing that the gas prices

00:05:15.660 are going down just a little bit in this area. It was like, I saw like 388, which is the lowest I've

00:05:22.380 seen in a long time. Why is that going on? Is this a good news? Is it all over? I won't say it's all

00:05:27.420 over, but right now we're looking like we're moving into a recession, which means everything's going to

00:05:32.960 slow down. Therefore there's less demand. So part of what you're saying is actually people feeling not

00:05:38.880 so optimistic about the future. So the demand just won't be there. Also, just because the prices are so high,

00:05:45.660 people use less, which is part of the agenda. That's what our leadership is after. They love

00:05:51.340 this, right? Right. Less carbon emissions in their eyes, less climate change to them. It's a good

00:05:57.360 thing. But what it means is we demand less. So supply and demand make the price. So when demand goes down

00:06:03.340 and supply stays about the same, the price goes down. Right. But the problem for us is more about

00:06:09.300 inflation. So the price of energy, whether it's oil, natural gas, cold, whatever, feeds into the

00:06:17.080 price of everything. So that means whatever you buy, like every dime that flies out of your bank

00:06:22.960 account or through your credit card is paying for something that is either made from oil, like our

00:06:28.720 clothes and our hair dye and our lipstick and our electronics, or it has been transported to you

00:06:35.480 from wherever it came from or was manufactured to you with transportation fuel, which again,

00:06:40.660 we're back to petroleum products, or it's manufactured with electricity, which means natural

00:06:45.320 gas and coal and nuclear. So the point is whatever energy costs, it's going to be put into the price

00:06:52.200 of everything, everything you pay for. If oil goes up, everything goes up. If natural gas goes up,

00:06:58.260 everything goes up. Okay. And so people have to understand inflation is an energy issue.

00:07:02.480 Right. So when a voter says what's most important to me is the economy or inflation, what they're

00:07:08.260 really saying is what's important to me is lowering the price of energy for starters and other things

00:07:14.940 to like, how about stopping wars and not starting them? Yeah. And a government that doesn't just print

00:07:19.660 money. That would help too. There are other reasons too. Right. But yeah. Yeah. And the Biden

00:07:24.500 administration is admitting what you said earlier, that this helps the what they would call the

00:07:29.400 anti-climate change agenda. I believe it was Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, testifying

00:07:34.720 before Congress earlier this week saying, well, you know, everything that's bad for fuel is better

00:07:40.620 for electric cars and people should just get more electric vehicles. I remember you explained last time

00:07:46.100 why that's not just an easy solution. And multiple members of Congress have said that it is an easy

00:07:52.620 solution. But tell us why that is such a silly suggestion. 0.81

00:07:55.640 So it's them and it's also Europe. And it's so upsetting that they don't understand the fundamentals

00:08:01.020 that, first of all, where to start? Fundamentally, the key with electric vehicles or with renewables

00:08:09.240 is storage. It's all about batteries. And so we don't have right now the technology to run the entire

00:08:17.080 U.S. transportation sector or electric sector, which is completely different. Right now we use oil

00:08:23.860 basically to run our transportation sector, whether it's gasoline or diesel, and we use natural gas

00:08:28.640 and coal to run the electricity sector. These are the traditional ways of doing it. No battery storage

00:08:33.480 needed. To even dream of flipping just the U.S. transportation sector to natural or to electric

00:08:40.540 vehicles, you need more batteries than planet Earth can create with lithium and cobalt and nickel and all the

00:08:49.620 things that are required to make that battery. We don't have enough on planet Earth. We just don't.

00:08:57.180 So that this plan is a non-starter. And then you would make the entire economy even more reliant on

00:09:03.980 electricity. Right now we're diversified. You know, if the price of electricity is high, at least you have

00:09:09.560 oil in the transportation sector that could be lower. But here you're making everything, their plan,

00:09:15.860 reliant on electric vehicles that rely on wind and solar. That's their vision. And we simply cannot,

00:09:23.420 we would be putting all of our eggs into the basket of, is the wind blowing or the sun shining?

00:09:27.660 Right. That's an outrage. I mean, that's completely a non-starter. It is not going to happen.

00:09:32.800 Yeah. Like I can just tell you, this is a big PR campaign to redistribute a lot of wealth, 0.86

00:09:37.420 like trillions. I mean, they pour almost more money into PR and education campaigns. Yeah.

00:09:44.260 Persuading you to do this than actually implementing the plan because they can't implement the plan.

00:09:48.800 Right. Because we don't have what we need to implement the plan. The plan doesn't work.

00:09:52.420 So what is the purpose then of all of the PR? They have to know a lot of the things that you just said.

00:09:59.360 Um, I'm not convinced all of them do. Actually, I think, I think that some of them actually believe

00:10:04.860 their own propaganda. I mean, look, not everybody in the government is an energy expert. Certainly

00:10:10.340 very few are. I mean, Pete Buttigieg doesn't have any experience in that realm. No. Well,

00:10:14.500 no. It was always the mayor of like Fort Bend, Indiana or something. Yeah. Some little town in

00:10:18.740 Indiana. Um, yeah, no, I think it's this. When you announce we're going to redistribute

00:10:25.120 trillions worldwide for a transition, what happens immediately is people get in line for that.

00:10:32.900 And once they get in line for that, they're a hundred percent committed. It doesn't matter if

00:10:37.400 it works or not. All they need to do is show up and get their part done. So in Washington,

00:10:41.720 I worked in Washington for seven years, um, starting from like 2006 to 13, around 2012 or 13,

00:10:50.400 suddenly everyone I knew who was no longer in the government was in a defense contracting firm

00:10:57.860 doing solar. Hmm. I mean, overnight, everybody's doing solar and making money or wanting to make

00:11:04.200 money, trying to get in line. And like, how did this happen? I wasn't paying attention at the time

00:11:08.720 to solar energy. Yeah. Well, the answer is the government announced massive taxpayer backed funds

00:11:14.680 to back these deals. And so, you know, to provide solar to the military or to a municipality or

00:11:20.820 whatever. Um, and so look, once they're in line and they're making money, they don't want to hear

00:11:26.480 anything else about what doesn't work. The government's already pronounced that this is what

00:11:30.280 we're doing and I'm making money. And it doesn't really matter. No, I mean, and, and if you get enough

00:11:36.240 people, this is how some people govern. I'm sorry to say in our leadership on both parties,

00:11:41.080 they think as long as we can slice up the federal trough in such a way that everybody benefits,

00:11:47.700 who really matters. Yeah. And who really matters. That's the key. And that's not you and me. We

00:11:52.240 don't really matter. We don't really matter because we don't have a big pack and we're not making out

00:11:56.120 the big checks. Whoever's making out the checks gets taken care of first. I'm sorry to say, I mean,

00:12:01.100 I worked there. I remember very well the way it always seemed to work out. And so that's what they

00:12:06.520 call governance. That's what they consider the transactional side of the business. Yeah.

00:12:11.080 There shouldn't even be such a concept as the transactional side of Capitol Hill. And they

00:12:16.460 also mean the Nancy Pelosi, Paul Pelosi deals like a Paul Pelosi will know a few days before the rest

00:12:24.440 of America, what's going to happen in terms of a bill and who benefits and what companies obviously

00:12:30.640 are going to be boosted at the bottom line. And voila, somehow he manages to invest in those

00:12:35.480 companies. And obviously he is nowhere near the only one. And it's not a, it's not a Democrat thing.

00:12:41.420 I mean, I think this is across the board and this is the problem. And it all, it all went wrong with

00:12:47.300 the income tax, right? Yeah. Do you realize this country didn't even have a federal income tax

00:12:51.860 until the world war one era? Before that they didn't have a trough to parse out. And once that

00:12:58.400 happened, wow, it's just, there's, there's like no limit to it. And it's what the founders talked

00:13:03.540 about where, you know, our form of government works until people realize they can vote themselves

00:13:09.160 favors from the federal trough. Yeah. And then it just, there's no discipline. There aren't many

00:13:15.460 exceptions to the rule in human history that once that trajectory takes off, it doesn't stop until it

00:13:20.860 collapses finally. Yeah.

00:13:22.220 And America's green agenda benefits the worst countries in the world. It benefits Russia, 0.98

00:13:27.520 it benefits Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, and it also benefits China. China is making a lot of

00:13:32.420 these, a lot of these solar panels and also the blades of the wind turbines and also a lot of the

00:13:40.380 batteries. So some of the propaganda that you're talking about, the green energy PR that is going on

00:13:45.880 here in the United States, how much do you think of that is being pushed by our enemies?

00:13:51.980 I would be shocked and awed if they weren't pushing it hard. If I were them, I would,

00:13:57.780 because it's, it's not just a matter of making money. It's about making this country reliant

00:14:03.060 on them because they control the supply chain. They would be crazy not to, and to,

00:14:08.600 this is perfectly legal, what you're suggesting. They can push any PR campaign and, you know,

00:14:13.560 who knows how many hands they can pass money through to hide where it's coming from.

00:14:16.700 We know the anti-fracking movement is in big time, big form funded from offshore funds.

00:14:23.780 And Joe Biden is representative of that. He said that in a debate with Donald Trump during the

00:14:28.880 campaign that he is going to end fracking. And Donald Trump was like, oh, that's a huge admission.

00:14:33.660 Thank you so much for saying that. Obviously that didn't stop people from voting for Joe Biden. So Joe

00:14:39.380 Biden is open about that, that he is a part of that push.

00:14:42.900 Sure. I mean, and how convenient, you know, his family's doing international deals

00:14:47.620 with countries that have massive energy interests or, or deposits or reserves. And wow,

00:14:54.720 they are benefiting Hunter Biden in particular, um, in his big deals, foreign oil and foreign natural

00:15:01.200 gas companies, um, like Burisma. Yeah. While at the same time, his dad is warring against their

00:15:06.860 number one competitors, American oil and gas producers. How convenient is that?

00:15:11.080 So convenient. Yes. And so tell us a little bit more about, I want to talk about Russia and then

00:15:16.740 I want to talk about Saudi Arabia. We keep hearing that this is Putin's fault, that the high gas

00:15:21.060 prices, it's the Putin price hike, even inflation we hear is the Putin price hike. Is that true?

00:15:26.920 So, okay. War is definitely inflationary. Yeah. So that's for sure. If you start destroying things,

00:15:32.820 like say a wheat crop and the two biggest wheat producers in that region, Russia and Ukraine go to

00:15:37.240 war, yes, that's the price of food goes up. There's no question. So there is some truth to the fact

00:15:42.520 that yes, a war, um, will definitely cause inflation, but the, the history book need only look back a year

00:15:50.040 to see we had a massive inflation problem that kicked off about February, 2021. Yeah. Um, long before

00:15:57.680 Putin began lining up at the border of Ukraine long before. So what is that? What will Joe Biden label

00:16:04.280 that? You know, and this is because he signaled immediately what he was going to do to regulate

00:16:10.100 our energy producers out of business. If possible, he said on the campaign trail, I will end fossil

00:16:14.520 fuels and across all the agencies will be a directive to do everything they can to advance the climate

00:16:19.440 agenda. Okay. That's problem. Number one, um, problem number two, his $1.9 trillion COVID bill,

00:16:26.920 9% of which was only, uh, devoted to COVID. The rest of it was like every other appropriations bill,

00:16:32.520 a massive grab bag and Christmas wishlist for the Democrats and all of their interests.

00:16:39.020 This is what they do. It's packed into every one of those bills and it's all or nothing deal. It's

00:16:43.780 thumbs up or thumbs down. And if you vote thumbs down, they'll say that you're against COVID relief,

00:16:48.160 right? So you print money like this and what does it do? It reduces the value of the dollar,

00:16:55.260 uh, debases the currency and it throws all this money into the economy. And this is like economics 101.

00:17:02.400 I was an economics major as well as a history major. Um, too many dollars chasing too few goods

00:17:09.320 means prices go up. This is not up for debate. People are trying to pretend suddenly like it's

00:17:15.540 up for debate. No, it isn't. This has been settled for a long time. You won't find examples in history

00:17:21.120 that go in the opposite direction, except inside the Biden white house where they just, they have their

00:17:26.240 own build back better calculator that says the opposite of what history and the truth have been for

00:17:31.100 so long. So that's where the inflation came from. And until he takes the boot off the neck of us

00:17:37.980 energy producers and stops printing money, it actually tightens the belt. We're going to continue to have

00:17:44.280 inflation. Tell us what happened in Saudi Arabia when he fist bumped the leader of Saudi Arabia. What

00:18:02.260 was he doing over there? How does that have to do with the production of oil and gas? Well, so as you

00:18:07.340 know, the first thing he did was call the Saudi Arabian leader a pariah. You're right. Okay. People 0.61

00:18:13.620 talked about how undiplomatic Donald Trump was. Right. Like he didn't name call one of the top three oil

00:18:20.960 producers on earth. Yeah. Even though Saudi Arabia is not my favorite country. Yeah. For obvious reasons.

00:18:27.820 They're not my favorite country. I would never have done that. No, no American president should ever do

00:18:33.080 that. You have to maintain rapport with people who control the energy supply, especially if you're

00:18:39.320 going to destroy your own. But no, so he goes over there to beg. And this isn't the first time an

00:18:45.540 American president has begged the Saudis to increase production to help us out with gas prices and for

00:18:53.440 other purposes. I'm embarrassed to tell you that George W. Bush did the same thing. And that was right

00:19:00.340 before the financial crisis of 2008, the meltdown. So that was the highest oil prices in history at that

00:19:08.320 time, $147 a barrel. So, you know, he goes to his old buddies, the Saudis. The Bush family was always 0.54

00:19:15.940 very tight. If you go to the Bush library right now, the first photo is him and the Saudi king walking

00:19:20.120 hand in hand through the fields of Texas and Crawford. Okay. Goes over there and begs on his knees,

00:19:25.320 which is shameful. Help us. And they said, no. So that was humiliating. And that was 2008. Thank

00:19:35.680 God the U.S. fracking revolution came on after that, which made us a bigger producer than Saudi 1.00

00:19:41.520 Arabia. So we should never have to have gone back to begging anyone. I mean, if you're holding the

00:19:47.040 assets, why on earth would you beg another, especially a country that is hostile to your

00:19:51.340 interests and your values at times? Yeah. Let's not forget most of the 9-11 hijackers came from 0.57

00:19:56.000 Saudi Arabia. So the culture there is not pro-American, you know? Right. And so, yeah, so he goes over

00:20:01.720 there begging after calling the guy a name. So now he's eating crow and it's just so humiliating. Yeah.

00:20:08.540 And first of all, as the French leader told him not long ago at the G7, you know, whispering on a hot

00:20:16.880 mic, hey, the Saudis don't really have a lot of excess capacity to up their production. Yeah. I

00:20:23.420 just want you to know I know that. Right. So then the leaders, chiefs or staffers whisk them away from

00:20:30.320 the cameras like, hey, hey, hey, hey, let's move, let's move, let's move. Because you don't want people

00:20:35.280 to know you don't have any options. There aren't, there isn't much, supposedly, spare capacity out there.

00:20:41.680 He's like, you know, there's not, there aren't many places to go, right? As of right this second,

00:20:46.840 there's no sign of big production coming on anywhere to bail us out of this. Yeah. It's not

00:20:52.880 coming from anywhere. In fact, there are all kinds of problems like pipeline shutdown or Libya now is

00:20:58.360 at less than half of its production because of protests that are happening all around the world

00:21:02.980 because of inflation and the climate agenda that no one's reporting on. But things like this, like there's

00:21:10.100 so many moving parts like that that can make us have no options. This is exactly why we need

00:21:17.080 maximization of our own resources right here at home. I mean, you and I are sitting on top of

00:21:24.220 natural gas right now. It's right here. Why on earth are we committing suicide by these, you know,

00:21:30.160 get off natural gas and clean burning natural gas and get off Texas oil for all this dirty oil from 0.57

00:21:37.000 Saudi Arabia and elsewhere where they don't even have environmental standards like we have? Are we

00:21:40.580 serious about the environment or not? Yeah. So he's going to Saudi Arabia, begging them for oil.

00:21:45.760 And then he is also saying that he might declare a climate emergency here in the U.S. and that that

00:21:52.800 will include a pause or a stop on any new drilling for oil. He's already kind of put a stop to that,

00:22:01.880 though, over his presidency. Right. So, I mean, what is he talking about and why?

00:22:07.180 Seriously, that just makes me just hold my breath in fury. Like I just it's exactly the wrong thing to

00:22:14.220 do. I seriously do not know how much he has his faculties, but clearly his advisors are the ones

00:22:21.900 putting this together in any way. I mean, I think he's going to make things much, much worse. And

00:22:27.060 what's interesting is he's doing this right in front of an election. So I'm actually surprised.

00:22:31.220 I don't know if he's trying to placate his base after he's gone everywhere to beg everyone to

00:22:34.820 produce oil. He's browbeaten American producers for not producing more. He's browbeaten American 0.56

00:22:40.120 refiners for not refining more. He's browbeaten the rest of the world for not producing more.

00:22:45.540 So his base is probably saying, wait a second, you're out there begging for them to produce oil

00:22:48.880 when we've asked you to be as green as possible. Maybe they view it as a betrayal. Maybe he's just

00:22:54.480 trying to make them happy. It's hard to say what's going on in his mind, but this will only make

00:22:59.300 things much worse than they were before. Yeah. So there seems to be some contradictory

00:23:04.280 messaging. It seems like he's trying to play to his climate change, anti-climate change supporters as

00:23:11.980 well as try to lower the price of oil. So this is from the Wall Street Journal. So the Biden

00:23:17.720 administration is planning to block new offshore oil drilling in the Atlantic and Pacific

00:23:21.960 Oceans. He's planning to allow limited expansion in the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska's south coast.

00:23:28.360 And so he will allow as many as 11 oil lease sales for offshore drilling over the course of five years.

00:23:35.420 There is a senior oceans campaigner at the Center for Biological Diversity. Brady Bradshaw says that he

00:23:40.940 is letting us down on climate leadership. So he's not even happy with what Biden is doing in expanding

00:23:48.000 oil production at all. So he's saying that he's going to declare a national climate emergency.

00:23:54.340 We're going to shut down all new drilling. But it seems like behind the scenes, well, we do kind of

00:23:58.220 just have to open it up a little bit. So I think that's part of what going overseas is about is to

00:24:04.300 some degree, they feel like that if they do it overseas and outsource the so-called pollution and

00:24:09.920 carbon emissions, that's more acceptable to their base. And the UK is the same way and Germany is the

00:24:15.800 same way. They will brag about how green they are at home while paying foreign producers to produce

00:24:22.500 filthy dirty oil with no environmental standards. But that's their emissions, not ours. Right. And so

00:24:27.720 there's a whole lot of outsourcing and playing and pretending. It's so much pretending. As Germany 0.98

00:24:31.920 shut down its coal plants, guess what they did? They started importing American coal. Thank you very

00:24:36.600 much, Germany. Yeah. But how silly. Yeah. This is so silly. So you're paying, you're actually greatly 0.76

00:24:41.980 increasing the carbon footprint as you're paying to transport that coal from where it came from

00:24:47.380 across an ocean. Does anyone have any idea of the carbon footprint of moving oil or coal across an

00:24:53.440 ocean? Which is a great example of how the Saudis are not as competitive as they claim. All of our 0.97

00:24:59.380 lives, we've had to listen to how Saudi can lift oil out of the ground for $2 a barrel. That's their

00:25:05.420 lifting cost. Whereas in the States, you got a frack. It was like $50 or $60 a barrel or even more

00:25:12.020 in some places. So wow, how can we possibly compete? And this is why we buy from Saudi because it's so 1.00

00:25:17.060 cheap. Well, they have to actually move it across an ocean, which costs a lot of money. They have to

00:25:23.680 protect it as it moves so that pirates don't take it in the Gulf of Aden or whatever, wherever they're

00:25:28.960 taking it through. So whoever's shipping oil has to ship it and protect it. And then you have to move

00:25:35.320 it again once it hits land. So the lifting cost is not the full story. And lifting costs here have

00:25:41.940 come way down. Like technology gets better and better all the time. Way down. So U.S. oil is

00:25:47.680 plenty competitive. There's no problem there. Any talk about that is nonsense. We are fine. We can make

00:25:54.160 a ton of money as it stands at the current prices. So it's profitable. If they're not producing,

00:25:59.540 it's because they're afraid they'll lose their investment because you don't want to be the next

00:26:03.400 Keystone XL pipeline. Right. You put in six years of time, you know, hundreds of meetings with state,

00:26:09.920 local, federal, tribal governments, six years of study, $6 billion, and then have the federal

00:26:14.940 government just pull the rug out from under you and you lose it all. Yeah. Who wants to be that?

00:26:19.800 Right. So that is why there are some people who said, oh, Biden and his policies have nothing to do

00:26:25.620 with the rising gas prices when they were going up, up, up, has nothing to do with that. But you've

00:26:32.480 talked about how even just like the intimidation, even just the rhetoric can have an effect on the

00:26:38.760 gas prices because of that, because they're basically intimidating drilling or intimidating

00:26:43.800 against drilling, right? Yes. The, whether it's the pipelines or just the finance, like the ESG

00:26:50.920 movement, trying to defund so that you can't get capital in the oil patch. You can't drill without

00:26:56.620 capital. It's that simple. You kill it. You just choke it off or like bragging about leases, which are

00:27:02.880 way up here at the upstream. You also need permits and then you need the midstream, which is pipelines to

00:27:07.700 get it to the market. And then you need refineries in the downstream and the retail where the gas

00:27:12.440 station. So for him to say, there are some leases up here, but then give you no pipelines to move it.

00:27:19.260 Well, what good is that? Right. It's no good at all. It's a waste of it. He hopes that no one

00:27:23.820 understands the complexities of what he's talking about. Yeah. And so, but, and plus 9,000 leases

00:27:29.840 doesn't mean production. So I guess his base is fine with that. But as you just said, this, this guy's

00:27:33.500 complaining at the center, whatever people are paid to complain no matter what there are people who

00:27:38.740 complain no matter what he did. So he needs to worry about the election. The only thing that's

00:27:43.840 going to bring down the prices is if the demand goes down because the supply can't really move much.

00:27:47.660 Which is what is happening now. And he's taking credit for that when really he shouldn't.

00:27:51.180 Yeah. Or, or if China closes down, like shuts down Shanghai or part of its country, or if there's a

00:27:56.740 shutdown or a lockdown, like in 2020 with COVID, that depresses demand. It's a completely artificial

00:28:03.160 depression of demand. And that's what happened. So a ton of US oil and gas producers went out of

00:28:08.560 business because there was nowhere to sell their product. And that's why we have such high prices

00:28:13.040 now. You have so much fewer producers in America because you bankrupted them in 2020 during the

00:28:18.600 lockdown. You tweeted recently that Europe, green Europe is going to come to the United States and

00:28:34.680 be begging for more oil production. When do you think that's going to happen? And do you think

00:28:39.200 that'll be consequential if they beg? Oh, I think they've, I think they've been begging for, oh,

00:28:44.440 quietly for a while now. I think they have no choice, but to beg where, where can they turn?

00:28:50.060 We're one of the few countries that has more capacity, right? We just don't have a regulatory

00:28:54.280 regime that permits us to really be confident in moving forward. So, but the world's going to need

00:29:00.180 more. I mean, I don't know what's going to happen to Germans this, this winter when Russia decides to 0.50

00:29:06.360 cut off their natural gas as they've done before to show who's boss. They'll do it for two or three

00:29:10.560 days at a time. Okay. Germany, um, you're already paying three to four times as much for energy

00:29:16.700 because of your green agenda. And this has to do with the Nord Stream pipeline? Partially. Partially.

00:29:20.560 Okay. But even before that, they were playing these games with Europe. If there's a, like a UN vote and

00:29:25.920 they want it their way, they'll just cut the gas in the middle of the winter. Yeah. Which is part of

00:29:29.580 why the UN is such a joke. Yeah. So, so Germany is already burning wood to stay alive. Uh, they'll be

00:29:36.760 burning coal. They'll be chopping up their furniture this winter. I mean, I don't know what Germans are 1.00

00:29:40.980 going to do. I'm really concerned because they've been relying on Russia and Russia is basically like

00:29:45.940 extorting them rather than relying on the United States. Cause we're not reliable when it comes to

00:29:49.960 oil production, right? That's the whole problem. We used to be more reliable. Yeah. I'm not entirely

00:29:54.540 sure. Well, I have, I have a guess. Okay. Germany's a great story because quickly they had a leader

00:30:00.760 named Gerard Schroeder. Schroeder pushed them into like headlong into, um, renewables before it was

00:30:08.040 ready for prime time. This is the primitive 2005 to the 2007 era. After he gets them reliant on

00:30:15.700 unreliable renewables and on Russian natural gas, therefore imports, he leaves Germany and becomes

00:30:24.400 the leader of the Russian oil and gas company. Wow. The chairman. Wow. So you get your, your country

00:30:31.300 dependent and now you're the big man in Russia. Why is a German running the Russian oil and gas 0.95

00:30:38.140 operations? Right. Why, why is he at the head of their company? Come on. Yeah. Um, so that's how that

00:30:44.420 happened to Germany. Wow. That's so interesting. It does seem like the climate change agenda is a war on

00:30:50.380 the working class, either purposely or coincidentally. I mean, it seems like every policy that these kind 1.00

00:30:57.260 of left-wing elites push is a war against the working class, but there was a very specific

00:31:01.500 picture of that. There were these climate change protesters who were blocking traffic and this guy

00:31:08.160 got out of his car and he was like, look, I'm on parole. And if I don't, if I don't get to work on

00:31:15.020 time, I'm literally going to go to prison. These climate change activists, they didn't get out of the

00:31:19.540 road. And I have no idea what happened to that guy. It's really unfortunate, but I thought that

00:31:23.340 was such a vivid picture of really what the green agenda is in general. It really is a war on the

00:31:28.620 working class. It's harder for working class, rural people to get to work if the prices are high or if

00:31:34.240 they can't drive at all. Transportation is more difficult when prices go up in general. Um, and so

00:31:41.900 really, as you said, the green agenda seems to only be serving those at the very top and they do not care

00:31:47.460 about the effects of the people on the bottom. The secret is you can, you can pollute as much as

00:31:52.740 you want in the extreme green agenda as long as you can pay for it with carbon offsets. So it's no

00:31:59.920 pinch on them. Yeah, it's no pinch on them. Yeah. If you look at the, at the percentage of a household

00:32:05.780 income devoted to energy, transportation, gasoline, electricity, the less money you make, the more

00:32:15.260 dramatic, that percentage you pay in, in your budget. So it, it's like taxes, even if they're

00:32:21.800 progressive, they always pinch the lowest income people, the worst. So, and, and they, they're the

00:32:28.460 people with the least representation in Washington, I can tell you for sure. And the unions are not doing

00:32:32.800 it. The unions are not going up there and pleading the case of the working class. I think those days 0.98

00:32:38.060 are supposed to do. Those days are over, whether it's teachers unions or other kinds of unions.

00:32:41.940 Yeah. Um, so this is not high priority for most voters, whether working class or otherwise,

00:32:48.280 I'm sure there is a difference between those with PhDs and those with just, you know, a high school

00:32:53.460 degree. There tends to always be a difference in the priorities and the political agenda of those

00:32:58.340 two groups. But it, this ranks like climate change ranks at the very, very bottom. Most people are

00:33:05.340 worried about the economy. They're worried about gas prices. They're worried about safety, you know,

00:33:10.000 things that actually affect their everyday lives, their ability to live. And so what is this group

00:33:16.820 at the top? What are our bureaucrats going to do? Um, if there is a lot of pushback about this,

00:33:23.980 or if their PR campaign that they have just been pushing relentlessly for years, maybe even decades now,

00:33:30.760 if it doesn't work, like, is there any hope that they're going to say, okay, nevermind,

00:33:34.900 whatever, we don't care about this anymore? Or are they just going to keep pushing and pushing?

00:33:40.620 I keep wondering where that breaking point comes. Yeah. Where, where people realize this agenda is

00:33:45.900 not possible. Like, I can't survive this agenda. I will be broken financially. I will be ruined

00:33:53.380 if I pay for everything they want us to pay for. The, you know, AOC wants a $90 trillion

00:33:59.480 Green New Deal. Yeah. If she could pin it her way. Um, we don't have it. So when does it finally

00:34:07.040 break? I feel like this war has really done a lot to put it in focus. We've really been pinched hard

00:34:15.780 for the first time because you have a major oil producer at war indefinitely. So NATO is all backing

00:34:23.480 up because they're all part of the puzzle. And I think that combined with this money printing

00:34:30.540 and the green agenda is, is the perfect storm for people to say, I've had enough. Yeah. And it's just

00:34:37.820 not possible. Right. Like these plans, if you really study them carefully, none of the, none of the

00:34:43.120 green plans, like the Paris Climate Accord, the clean, um, power plan or any of them work to stop

00:34:49.920 climate change. Right. And it doesn't make our environment cleaner either. We have some of the

00:34:53.780 cleanest air in the world in America. It's amazing actually because of technology. It doesn't do

00:34:58.140 anything for that either. So why are we doing this? Right. And we can't afford it. It almost seems like

00:35:04.280 the, the Democrats don't fear the electorate. Which is troubling. Yeah. It almost feels like

00:35:10.560 they don't care because look, I mean, Biden's doubling down. Right. Right. This week he's doubling down.

00:35:17.260 He thinks you haven't been squeezed enough for the transition. Yeah. So, and as you said, I mean,

00:35:24.660 the New York times poll said like 1% of our 3% of Democrats said climate's their most important

00:35:31.620 issue. Like 1% of the rest of America, if you average it out. So clearly he's not looking at polls

00:35:37.420 and putting his finger into the air and saying, what do they want to hear? Like a Bill Clinton.

00:35:42.320 Yeah. You're too young to remember that alley, but I barely remember it. I was like in like ninth

00:35:46.480 grade or something, but yeah, but Clinton could be, you know, a Democrat today and a Republican

00:35:51.100 tomorrow. And so it's nothing like that. It's, it's full speed ahead with the agenda.

00:35:56.780 And, um, it seems he's not the only one. I think that, that Trudeau is the same.

00:36:02.360 Yes. Macron is the same. Yes. They just don't care. And they call everyone else totalitarians

00:36:08.660 when really, of course they are the ones who are the tyrants.

00:36:21.680 It does seem like there was a breaking point in Sri Lanka that kind of had something to do with

00:36:26.040 all of this and in the Netherlands as well with the trucking protest. And I know that's not

00:36:31.200 necessarily having to do with fuel, but it does have to do with the kind of climate change agenda.

00:36:36.660 And the people have just had enough and the government of the Netherlands, of the Netherlands,

00:36:40.180 they were like, we don't care. We're going to shoot you until you get off the roads. 0.70

00:36:44.020 Yeah. And we're going to take your property. 1.00

00:36:45.800 Really troubling.

00:36:46.640 And like, as if this were Venezuela, confiscating your assets and they're even going to ban them.

00:36:51.820 There's, there's talk of banning the farmers from ever farming again to make it crystal clear.

00:36:57.280 This is, this era is over.

00:36:59.540 This era of agriculture is over because it's too, it's too energy intensive and climate unfriendly.

00:37:05.420 So they don't have the fertilizer, uh, giving them that they need to make their crop. And

00:37:10.640 amazingly, this country, the Netherlands is half the size of Indiana, right? But it's the second 1.00

00:37:16.100 biggest food producer overall in the world. Yeah. I mean, like that blows my mind for its exports.

00:37:21.500 Uh, I, next to the U S I could not believe how productive they are. It's because they're so

00:37:26.920 innovative. Like they have to be, they're small. Yeah. Um, but yeah, to just pretend to be so tyrannical,

00:37:33.260 right? It's Western country. I mean, it's really hard not to jump to conclusions that, okay,

00:37:38.220 it, it would seem like the purpose is famine. The purpose is depopulation. The purpose is a

00:37:42.720 smaller population that they can then control. And I know I'm kind of getting a little bit off

00:37:46.360 the reservation here, but it's hard to imagine that there are innocent and humanitarian reasons

00:37:53.520 to cut off the food supply and to see someone's assets that is providing food for the country and the

00:38:00.700 world. It's really hard for me to come up with an innocent reason for that. Right. I mean,

00:38:05.000 you know, look at the perfect storm again, war against two major wheat producers. I mean,

00:38:10.880 wheat is a staple. It's kind of like one of the foundational, um, items that humans eat to stay

00:38:15.780 alive or what? Um, and they export all over the place, all over the world. And then all of these

00:38:21.760 food plant, um, disasters that happen in the U S mysteriously, mysterious fires.

00:38:26.480 Mysterious. I mean, what do you, I mean, I think the most logical and least conspiratorial idea is

00:38:32.400 that the FDA completely has failed. And so that was part of it. But I mean, there are some other

00:38:38.980 theories as well. Well, like there were two instances of planes hitting the property of food

00:38:44.740 plants. And journalists aren't interested in it at all. They're not curious at all. I post something

00:38:49.260 about this. I'm attacked as a conspiracy theorist. I'm like, look, I didn't say what caused it. I

00:38:54.120 simply pointed out there were two, what looked a whole lot like kamikaze attacks. Okay. Like

00:39:01.160 nine 11, like attacks hitting one hit a plant and one hit the, they're like, Hey, it just hit the

00:39:06.540 parking lot. Jackie, it just hit the parking lot. Oh, pardon me. Um, well, yeah, maybe he wasn't that

00:39:11.900 great of a pilot. Like I don't, I don't know all the circumstances there. I simply pointed out that

00:39:16.940 two planes hit the property, all these fires, all these explosions. Then there were like millions of,

00:39:22.100 um, uh, turkeys and chickens put down for flu. Then you saw the thousands of cattle that died

00:39:27.140 of heat in, um, Kansas as if that was the first time he did ever hit Kansas. Um, no baby food.

00:39:33.820 We're being warned about dog food shortages. So you want to have dog food to eat. Um, so it's like,

00:39:39.760 uh, like a controlled demolition. I've never seen so many events come together at once at once.

00:39:46.080 And then, I mean, you've got the open border, you've got civil unrest, you've got crime in

00:39:51.020 the street. I mean, there's so many factors and it feels like for a lot of people, even if they're

00:39:56.640 in safe communities, that the walls are kind of closing in and that our government really does

00:40:01.420 not care. Instead, they are more concerned with making sure that men can go into women's bathrooms. 0.98

00:40:06.180 I'm, I'm, I'm very concerned. Like my overarching feeling as I, as we had this conversation

00:40:11.240 combined with the whole abortion fanaticism, uh, which is a population control measure,

00:40:17.940 um, is that there, I know for sure that there's a group of the elites, David Rockefeller being like

00:40:26.340 one of the most outspoken who thinks there are too many of us on the planet. And that's,

00:40:30.840 that's the real problem here. Well, that's what the world economic forum talks about every year at

00:40:34.420 Davos. They talk about how there are too many people, even Jane Goodall, which is, who is not like

00:40:38.520 some rich mogul, but obviously she's an activist. They believe in this like Malthusian myth where

00:40:43.840 Elon Musk, I mean, with all of his flaws, he's one of the only people I saw that he posted this thread

00:40:48.720 or someone posted like a population density. And actually, if all of us wanted to live as densely

00:40:54.440 as people did in Manhattan, we could fit in like half of New Zealand. So the world is like almost

00:41:00.060 empty of humans. If you look at it that way, we can actually fit on earth many, many, many,

00:41:05.020 many more millions of people. If we wanted to, we have the resources for it. We have technology

00:41:10.120 for it. It all goes back to how you see human beings as a credit or a debit, as an asset,

00:41:14.820 or as a liability. The people at the top see human beings as a liability, as people that they,

00:41:21.460 if there's too many, they can't control them. And if you're looking for centralized power,

00:41:25.380 the more people there are, the more autonomous people are, the harder it is for them to obtain

00:41:30.960 control. There's a whole theological conversation you could have about how those people view who is

00:41:36.280 in charge, where morality comes from, and what human beings are worth. Christians believe we're 0.99

00:41:42.280 made in the image of God, that we have souls, that we're valuable, that we should be autonomous in that

00:41:45.840 way. And they believe that we're basically all balls of matter that don't matter.

00:41:50.840 It is very hard for you and me to put on the lens of a person who sees humankind as an accident in

00:41:59.120 the history of the universe. Yeah, just a massive cells, after all, is what they call them in the

00:42:04.280 womb. And that's really, I mean, what are we right now? Yeah, what are we right now? We're massive

00:42:08.240 cells. And so imagine how differently they see stories about crime, right? You and I see a horrible

00:42:15.080 story about a crime. And we're probably thinking that human being is broken. I'll bet they didn't have

00:42:23.300 parents who love them. I'll bet they don't have a support system. I bet they weren't taught and poured

00:42:27.260 into with faith, love, hope, all of that. You can see what's missing, what's broken. That is a human

00:42:33.220 being there. And no matter how bad they are, they can't fall lower than any of us can fall. When you have

00:42:40.420 these beliefs that we hold, to us that they're still a human being, God made them, and God loves them, no

00:42:46.500 matter how much we don't enjoy them right this second. And that has to be addressed. We need to love people

00:42:52.000 from the, you know, from this stage, this, the young stage up. There's a problem societally with

00:42:56.740 the breakdown of the family. Imagine how they see it. That's not what they're seeing. Yeah. They're

00:43:02.700 saying, look at all these, you know, riots in Sri Lanka, crimes in LA, breaking into my Porsche.

00:43:11.320 You know what? They're just clumps of cells. Yeah. We need less. I know what we'll do with these

00:43:16.580 people. Yeah. We don't need them anymore. Yeah. We don't need them anymore. So the least we can do

00:43:20.660 is not feed them so they don't reproduce is rip their children from their wombs. Yeah. Is, um, 1.00

00:43:27.520 and allow the crime to flourish too. You allow the crime to flourish. You open the border. It

00:43:31.980 creates chaos. It creates crime. It creates unrest and it creates murder and it creates violence. So

00:43:37.080 that takes care of that problem. That also is a form of depopulation, the allowance and the

00:43:41.740 endorsement of murder and these soft on crime policies. I mean, it does all, they at least have

00:43:48.140 these things in common. At most it is purposeful and it is all pushing towards the same goal. So

00:43:55.040 well, the chaos means that we need someone, some strong man to come in and take control and restore

00:44:00.380 order. And I feel like it's, it's about that too. It's about making everyday people feel vulnerable.

00:44:06.880 Yeah. So they want to welcome in tyranny. Yeah. Um, so they can feel safe again, just basic safety.

00:44:13.780 Um, and so it can also be nefarious in that sense. But what I'm certain of is that, uh, less food

00:44:19.540 means less people. Yeah. And, and there are just too many things happening in too many different places

00:44:25.340 and too many people in charge who higher price of fuel, less food, less people. It is connected.

00:44:33.520 I say to everyone, be prepared to be self-reliant. Yeah. Stock, stockpile food,

00:44:40.020 non-perishables, emergency food, MREs. Yeah. Your fishing gear, your hunting gear. Yeah.

00:44:46.640 Grow vegetables, grow fruit trees. Do you know your neighbors? Are you a part of a church? Are you part

00:44:51.840 of a community? Yeah. Are you part of any kind of group of people who can rely on each other? That is

00:44:56.840 also something that I, they have tried to tear apart definitely during COVID. But for many years before

00:45:01.760 that, people were more isolated than ever before. Right. Well, we have to do everything that we can

00:45:06.780 to push back against that through self-reliance, but also reliance on one another. Yeah. Um, so yeah,

00:45:11.720 that's part of all this. Thank you so much, Jackie, as always. This was wonderful insight. I really

00:45:16.500 appreciate it. No, so happy to be with you in any time. Thank you.

00:45:19.920 Thank you.

00:45:19.940 Thank you.
