The Charlie Kirk Show - How Biden's Energy Blunders Helped Finance Russia's War

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, Tana Charlie Kirk Show, a trucker convoy update.

00:00:03.000 Also, what's going on in Georgia with the voting election law changes?

00:00:08.000 And finally, my friend Jackie Deason unpacks for us how American energy policy directly impacts Vladimir Putin, a unique wrinkle that we have not covered at all, and she does a wonderful job.

00:00:33.000 Enjoy this episode.

00:00:34.000 Buckle up, everybody.

00:00:35.000 Here we go.

00:00:36.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.

00:00:38.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campuses.

00:00:40.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.

00:00:43.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.

00:00:46.000 I want to thank Charlie.

00:00:47.000 He's an incredible guy.

00:00:48.000 His spirit, his love of this country.

00:00:50.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.

00:00:57.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.

00:01:06.000 That's why we are here.

00:01:08.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.

00:01:17.000 New poll is out here.

00:01:19.000 Do Americans want to go to war with Russia?

00:01:22.000 Do they want involvement?

00:01:24.000 So Biden is going all in.

00:01:26.000 He's going all in that he's going to get a big poll boost by this.

00:01:30.000 Only 26% of Americans want the United States to play a major role in Russia-Ukrainian conflict.

00:01:38.000 Just 26% of Americans say that the United States should have a major role.

00:01:42.000 52% say that we should have a minor role, while 20% say that we should have no role at all.

00:01:48.000 So 72% of Americans want a minor or no role at all in what's happening in Ukraine and Russia.

00:01:57.000 You wouldn't know that if you watched the nightly news.

00:02:01.000 It seems as if it's the number one issue happening on the minds of Americans.

00:02:07.000 Meanwhile, there's much more important things happening than what's happening.

00:02:11.000 It's a border dispute in Eastern way, far Eastern Europe.

00:02:16.000 And one of the things that I think is most important about this poll as it comes out here is we're starting to see Americans not fall victim into the media industrial complexes trap.

00:02:35.000 Now, this new poll that was done by the Associated Press and NROC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that Americans are much more worried about inflation, gas prices, than they are worried about Russia or Ukraine.

00:02:51.000 Americans were also found, also found to have an increasing level of concern regarding the state of the American economy.

00:03:01.000 And U.S. officials warned that Russian forces could attack at any time.

00:03:05.000 Yeah, of course, as if they're going to attack America, right?

00:03:10.000 So let's go to some sound here.

00:03:12.000 Let's go to Cut 30. 0.79

00:03:16.000 As we respond, my administration is using every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers from rising prices at the pump.

00:03:25.000 As I said last week, defending freedom will have cost for us as well and here at home.

00:03:33.000 Now, almost no mention in Biden's speech yesterday of what's happening in Canada.

00:03:39.000 And we said yesterday that Canada has been a dry rehearsal, almost a dress rehearsal or a dry run of what's to come here in America soon.

00:03:48.000 Play cut 40 of Neil Parmenter, president and CEO of the Canadian Bankers Association, that says Canada's banks are perfectly situated to help lead the creation of a federated digital ID system between the government and the private sector.

00:04:02.000 The World Economic Forum agrees.

00:04:04.000 Play Cut 40.

00:04:05.000 Canada's banks are perfectly situated to help lead the creation of a federated digital ID system between government and the private sector.

00:04:13.000 The World Economic Forum agrees that banks and financial institutions should lead the path forward for digital ID.

00:04:19.000 Banks are highly regulated and trusted.

00:04:22.000 It would have the power and security to store every Canadian's electronic identity and attributes.

00:04:27.000 And it would unlock countless opportunities for Canadians to verify who they are safely, quickly, and securely.

00:04:34.000 That's interesting.

00:04:35.000 So they want like voter ID.

00:04:37.000 Is that what they want now?

00:04:38.000 I don't think so.

00:04:39.000 I thought that's racist to even recommend voter ID.

00:04:42.000 No, instead, they want the ability to shut off your bank account overnight.

00:04:47.000 In fact, they want the surveillance power on a permanent basis.

00:04:51.000 Play cut 23.

00:04:52.000 This was happening in Canada.

00:04:53.000 Christia Freeland, a disciple of the World Economic Forum.

00:04:57.000 As of today, all crowdfunding platforms and the payment service providers they use must register with FinTrack.

00:05:07.000 We are making these changes because we know that these platforms are being used to support illegal blockades and illegal activity.

00:05:17.000 The government will also bring forward legislation to provide these authorities to FinTrack on a permanent basis.

00:05:24.000 On a permanent basis.

00:05:26.000 They're not going to give up power.

00:05:27.000 They are going to continue to regulate the banking transactions and the flow of money regardless of whether or not there's an emergency.

00:05:35.000 Oh, wait, the emergency is actually not going to be over.

00:05:37.000 And Trudeau said that.

00:05:38.000 Play cut 22.

00:05:40.000 But even though the blockades are lifted across border openings right now, even though things seem to be resolving very well in Ottawa, this state of emergency is not over.

00:05:55.000 One of the characteristics of a tyrant is they need to be able to organize the people in their country.

00:06:01.000 They need to know who is loyal to them and who is disloyal to them.

00:06:06.000 Now, one of the ways they do that is through something called a social credit score.

00:06:10.000 Social credit scores exist in China.

00:06:12.000 They used to exist in a much more informal, non-technological basis in Stalin's Russia.

00:06:17.000 They existed in the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany.

00:06:20.000 They existed in Benito Mussolini's Italy, Pol Pot's Cambodia. 0.87

00:06:24.000 A social credit score is basically the ability for the government to see how obedient or compliant.

00:06:31.000 I'm just going to say right now, I would have like, I'd be bankrupt social credit score with this current regime.

00:06:36.000 I would be very low, negative.

00:06:42.000 And however, someone like Rachel Maddow, she would have a very high social credit score.

00:06:46.000 She wears her two masks when she showers. 0.87

00:06:48.000 She does whatever she needs to do, right?

00:06:50.000 She's very compliant, very loyal.

00:06:52.000 She listens to the regime and she says what the regime wants to hear.

00:06:56.000 I mean, she communicates it.

00:06:58.000 But a social credit score is one of the ways that they're going to control your financial transactions.

00:07:05.000 So the question always needs to be is, well, who's doing the judgment of the social credit score?

00:07:09.000 Well, in Canada, the new social credit score is that we're going to have unlimited power and that we are not going to disclose in any way, shape, or form that we're able to shut off all of your ability to move your money in Canada, even though you might disagree, especially if you disagree, even though you might be doing absolutely, completely and totally nothing wrong.

00:07:32.000 Now, this is all designed, as it says in the video, by the World Economic Forum.

00:07:35.000 The World Economic Forum meets in Davos.

00:07:38.000 They are the globalist coalition that comes together and is focused completely and totally on trying to deteriorate sovereignty and borders and create a one-world style government.

00:07:49.000 Now, the cabinet minister, he dodged questions on Trudeau's ties to the World Economic Forum.

00:07:54.000 PlayCut 21.

00:07:56.000 Klaus Schwab is the head of the World Economic Forum, and he bragged how his subversive WWEF, World Economic Forum, has quoted infiltrated governments around the world.

00:08:06.000 He said that his organization had penetrated more than half of Canada's cabinet.

00:08:11.000 My concern is the deputy.

00:08:13.000 Order, order, order.

00:08:15.000 I know that the member was in a really good, good question there, but the audio is really, really bad, and the video is really, really bad as well.

00:08:23.000 Oh, yeah, the audio and the video.

00:08:25.000 I actually heard it perfectly. 0.84

00:08:26.000 That guy's a typical tyrant. 0.62

00:08:29.000 Now, but don't worry, everybody.

00:08:30.000 Justin Trudeau is coming out and he's saying, we are going to stand against authoritarianism.

00:08:37.000 Can you imagine the lack of self-awareness where you declare martial law on your citizens and then you have the spine to come out and say, oh, yeah, by the way, we hate authoritarianism.

00:08:49.000 For media matters watching at home, I am much more concerned about what Justin Trudeau has done in the last week than what Vladimir Putin has done in the last week.

00:08:59.000 It's not saying I'm not concerned.

00:09:00.000 I don't support what Putin is doing.

00:09:02.000 That's not what I'm saying.

00:09:03.000 But Trudeau is a neighbor to the north.

00:09:05.000 It's a formerly Western country. 0.91

00:09:07.000 It's supposed to be a democracy.

00:09:09.000 Russia doesn't pretend to be like a Western democracy.

00:09:12.000 They're an ancestral kind of like fake democracy dictatorship, and everyone knows it, okay?

00:09:18.000 Trudeau pretends to be a democracy, pretends to be an ally of the United States.

00:09:22.000 But Trudeau says, you know what?

00:09:24.000 We're not going to stand for authoritarianism.

00:09:26.000 And if you disagree with me, I'm going to run you over the horse.

00:09:28.000 Play cut 39.

00:09:30.000 Canada and our allies will defend democracy.

00:09:35.000 We are taking these actions today to stand against authoritarianism.

00:09:41.000 The people of Ukraine, like all people, must be free to determine their own future.

00:09:47.000 We will continue working with our international partners to safeguard Ukraine's territorial integrity and prevent further Russian aggression.

00:09:57.000 Yeah, we hate aggression from strong men.

00:09:59.000 By the way, your bank account's gone because you have a bad social credit score. 0.95

00:10:04.000 He's not dumb.

00:10:06.000 He knows what he's saying.

00:10:07.000 He just doesn't think you care.

00:10:11.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?

00:10:13.000 Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.

00:10:16.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.

00:10:18.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.

00:10:23.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.

00:10:28.000 They are on a mission.

00:10:28.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.

00:10:31.000 They recently shared with me that they are doubling down and want to literally double their total number of happy customers in the next year.

00:10:37.000 And I believe they'll do it.

00:10:38.000 So here's the deal.

00:10:39.000 If you're struggling with back pain, neck pain, shoulder, hip, or knee pain, even general muscle aches and pain, then I'm suggesting you order their three-week quick start, still discounted, only $19.95.

00:11:02.000 That's relieffactor.com.

00:11:04.000 Check it out right now.

00:11:07.000 We do not give financial advice here, but I think this is really important because this is happening quietly.

00:11:13.000 And if this was happening under a different president, it would be the top story.

00:11:17.000 SP 500 slips into correction off 10% from its January high.

00:11:21.000 That happened quickly, didn't it?

00:11:23.000 Stocks dropped in a volatile trading session that pushed the SP 500 into correction territory.

00:11:30.000 The threat of war has become the latest wildcard for investors who are already concerned with supply chain disruptions, rapidly rising inflation, and central banks plan to tighten monetary policy.

00:11:38.000 I'm reading for the Wall Street Journal.

00:11:40.000 The SP 500 declined 44 points the other day, leaving the index down more than 10% from its January 3rd high mark.

00:11:50.000 Stocks, which were near their session lows during Biden's speech outlining the sanctions, recouped a chunk of their declines.

00:11:56.000 Market is down, inflation is up, gas prices are up, all to be expected when you inflate your currency and there's not correlating value alongside of it.

00:12:09.000 And one of the groups that is feeling that economic anxiety, and quite honestly, one of the reasons why the trucker convoy is happening is because they know that they're about to be displaced by technology.

00:12:20.000 They know it.

00:12:21.000 They know that in 20 years, if the tyrants get their way and the technological kind of puppet masters get their way, there will be no truckers.

00:12:28.000 They'll all be autonomous vehicles.

00:12:30.000 Now, I think that might be an interesting thought experiment to have, but also, what are you going to do with all these people that are working for a living?

00:12:36.000 No one's actually been able to answer that question.

00:12:39.000 That's the underlying anxiety of the Trucker Convoy.

00:12:42.000 It's a lot bigger, a lot deeper, a lot more complicated than just mandates.

00:12:46.000 It's an industry that knows they're about to become obsolete, and they're trying to draw attention to how integral they are and how hard they've worked to actually keep the American economy alive.

00:12:55.000 Play Cut 44.

00:12:57.000 Sir, the world is watching us because they know that if what's happening in Canada happens to us here in the land of the free, then freedom as we know it is gone.

00:13:06.000 So we are leaving the choice to you.

00:13:08.000 The decision is in your hands.

00:13:10.000 This whole convoy, this whole assembly on the national mall, it doesn't even have to happen if you just end things now and we can get on with our lives.

00:13:18.000 PlayCut 43, convoy organizer, Kyle Sepjek, with a message for Biden.

00:13:24.000 PlayCut 43.

00:13:25.000 This message is for the President of the United States of America.

00:13:28.000 We are very organized and our routes are public.

00:13:31.000 I even pulled a permit for the National Mall to be respectful.

00:13:34.000 We are coming peacefully and we're going to do this lawfully and constitutionally.

00:13:39.000 I want the rest of the world to know our plans so that there's no twisting and lying about who and what we are.

00:13:44.000 I'm coming to you as a father, a small business owner who's unaffiliated to any parties.

00:13:50.000 We just want government overreach to end.

00:13:53.000 On behalf of Freedom Convoy USA 2022, we are asking you to end the state of emergency and the mandates once and for all.

00:14:03.000 That's correct.

00:14:04.000 So what do I mean by that's correct?

00:14:06.000 That's a specific ask.

00:14:07.000 Part of the problem with this convoy, as I've talked to some of the truckers, is they're like, oh, yeah, we just kind of want things to change.

00:14:13.000 You got to be very specific.

00:14:15.000 If you're going to do civil disobedience and do it so peacefully, you have to know what you want.

00:14:20.000 You just can't be a, yeah, we're kind of upset.

00:14:23.000 We're doing a world tour across the continent.

00:14:25.000 It's not the way it works.

00:14:26.000 Cut 42, shorter clip.

00:14:28.000 American trucker says you cannot have rights without freedom and you cannot have freedom without rights.

00:14:33.000 Play cut 42.

00:14:34.000 Have rights without freedom and you can't have freedom without rights.

00:14:38.000 And our government, unfortunately, is just chiseling away at all of them.

00:14:44.000 That's exactly right.

00:14:45.000 They are.

00:14:49.000 Look, did you get hit with a big tax spill you were not expecting with rates still being very low and home equity being high?

00:14:55.000 It's the perfect time to refinance and get some cash out of your home.

00:14:58.000 Look, you could go to one of these woke banks, Citibank, Chase, where they hate you, they hate the country, and they hate Christianity.

00:16:00.000 What is going on when it comes to the energy fight and how it connects the geopolitics?

00:16:05.000 With us is Jackie Deeson, a friend of mine, and an expert on all things energy.

00:16:10.000 Jackie, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.

00:16:12.000 Great to see you today, Charlie.

00:16:13.000 Good afternoon.

00:16:15.000 Great to see you too.

00:16:16.000 So tell us, how does the Biden's regime war on American energy exploration?

00:16:23.000 How does that actually tie into what we're seeing 5,000 miles away in Ukraine?

00:16:28.000 Well, you have to know that Russia is a petro state.

00:16:31.000 That means it relies on oil and gas for its revenues, to make its budget, its much of its exports.

00:16:38.000 And so as the price of oil and gas goes up and down, so the Russian regime goes up or down.

00:16:44.000 It's a really big deal to them, which is very different than us.

00:16:47.000 We're only about 8% of our economy as fossil fuels, even though the fossil fuels factor into just about every other sector of the economy, obviously, as the foundational input.

00:16:58.000 But Putin cannot misbehave or even keep the regime alive and avoid state failure if he doesn't have the right price for each barrel of oil and each unit of natural gas.

00:17:10.000 So our producers here in America are his biggest competitors.

00:17:16.000 When we produce heavily, we flood the globe with supply.

00:17:20.000 The price goes down.

00:17:21.000 This takes money out of Putin's pocket.

00:17:24.000 Right now, the prices are high.

00:17:26.000 Part of the reason is that the Biden family has aided and abetted oil and gas around the world, in Ukraine, in China, and made billions.

00:17:36.000 At the same time, Joe Biden has warred against American fossil fuels every way he can to restrict the supply, which is why we're almost back up to $100 a barrel.

00:17:47.000 That's great for Putin. 0.55

00:17:49.000 That gives him money, which he has to have to fight a war.

00:17:53.000 Wars are expensive.

00:17:55.000 You need a lot of money.

00:17:57.000 You need a lot of diesel fuel.

00:17:58.000 He has both now because of Biden's policies.

00:18:01.000 Total reversal from Trump.

00:18:03.000 Yeah, I remember we had a guest on about a couple of years ago, someone you would know, Harold Hamm, who's a good man.

00:18:10.000 He's a great person, one of the original Wildcatters.

00:18:14.000 And he was concerned oil was too cheap under Trump.

00:18:18.000 He said that it was going to put producers up.

00:18:20.000 Can you just, Jackie, walk us through that?

00:18:22.000 Two years ago, there was a real movement about potentially the Russians and the Saudis playing a bloodletting strategy against Americans, right? 0.99

00:18:32.000 Now it's the exact opposite.

00:18:33.000 Can you talk about that?

00:18:35.000 Yeah, so the issue is that American producers, shale producers who frack, have a very expensive price per barrel to get that oil out of the ground.

00:18:45.000 The Russians and most OPEC countries do not.

00:18:48.000 Their lifting cost is cheap.

00:18:50.000 Therefore, they can produce at a very low price and still make money.

00:18:54.000 American frackers cannot. 0.73

00:18:56.000 So we need about 50 to 60 barrels or dollars a barrel to make money and have a healthy U.S. production environment where the investors know they're going to make their money back.

00:19:09.000 That's a disadvantage that we have.

00:19:11.000 Knowing that the OPEC Plus, which is 13 countries plus Russia, essentially, we believe, colluded to flood the world with oil, bring down the price, and put the frackers out of business because they could not make money at the same price that OPEC and Russia can.

00:19:30.000 So that went on for a while.

00:19:33.000 And then COVID happened or COVID policy happened.

00:19:37.000 And when the lockdowns went into effect, people didn't need as much gasoline.

00:19:41.000 They didn't need as much oil and gas to run the economy.

00:19:44.000 And that killed the price.

00:19:46.000 So that too was a death shot to American frackers.

00:19:49.000 But I think the biggest threat right now is actually Biden's ESG policies.

00:19:54.000 Bottom line, this is a move by Wall Street and the government to divest from American fossil fuels on the basis that it's green.

00:20:04.000 Well, if you can't get capital, you can't operate.

00:20:08.000 It is starving the U.S. oil patch, which is why prices are as high as they are right now.

00:20:14.000 If the ESG policies would stop and the other problems like opposing pipelines, opposing leasing on federal lands, opposing fracking, opposing production offshore on federal land, there are a lot of problems.

00:20:28.000 Trump was the opposite on all of those.

00:20:30.000 So American oil and gas could hit the accelerator totally.

00:20:35.000 And we'd have a completely different oil price right now.

00:20:38.000 If Biden would back off and adopt the Trump policies, gasoline would go way down.

00:20:44.000 The cost of everything would go way down because the cost of oil and gas is built into every product you buy.

00:20:49.000 I challenge anyone to name a product you buy that either isn't made from oil and gas or transported with oil and gas, or there's electricity from natural gas used to make the product and sell the product.

00:21:01.000 You can't name it.

00:21:02.000 And Putin would have his revenues slashed if American producers, who are the number one, we're the top country in the world when times are good, when the government's not restricting our production.

00:21:15.000 Putin would not be able to wage war right now if Trump were in office because he wouldn't have the money.

00:21:20.000 That's exactly period.

00:21:21.000 Well, and what's so interesting about your analysis is that American frackers were attacked from both low and high prices.

00:21:29.000 Now, the high prices, they're not getting attacked by as much, but they are getting attacked by the policies that led to the high prices.

00:21:36.000 This is a really important point.

00:21:37.000 So I want to dive into this for a second, Jackie, which is fracking is an existential threat to the Saudi Arabias and the Irans and to the Russians because it empowers entrepreneurial, highly technological engineering technology to be able to extract otherwise, let's say, dormant oil and natural gas reserves.

00:21:58.000 You just wouldn't be able to get every part from the reservoir.

00:22:02.000 But fracking allows you to go to places that otherwise you think, oh, we already drilled that well.

00:22:06.000 Well, maybe you didn't actually, because you could go through it horizontally.

00:22:09.000 Talk about the technology of fracking and then talk about how what we're seeing unfold here is like a relentless campaign to destroy the American energy entrepreneur, basically.

00:22:21.000 So imagine back in 2005, the Federal Reserve Chair, Alan Greenspan, told Congress, we have a natural gas crisis in this country.

00:22:30.000 We don't have enough natural gas, even though this country sits on an ocean of natural gas.

00:22:36.000 The problem was we couldn't get to it economically, as you just alluded to.

00:22:40.000 We didn't have the fracking revolution come along yet, and which is really a technological revolution.

00:22:46.000 It was innovation changing how we get the natural gas out of the ground, oil as well.

00:22:52.000 And it took us from producing about 5 million barrels a day of oil to, you know, eight, nine, 10 million barrels a day.

00:23:01.000 And then Harold Hamm says we could go up to 15 million barrels a day.

00:23:05.000 Well, the Saudis and the Russians are at about 10 million barrels a day over time average.

00:23:10.000 So if you bring another player on to the world stage with fracking that brings on that much supply, it really has a hard to appreciate impact worldwide on the price.

00:23:26.000 It destroys the oligarchs' budgets.

00:23:30.000 I mean, they go broke.

00:23:32.000 They go broke.

00:23:33.000 They cannot sustain their countries.

00:23:35.000 I mean, if you can see it laid out, the Wall Street Journal does this.

00:23:38.000 Like, okay, Russia needs like $100 oil just to make their budget.

00:23:44.000 Saudi Arabia is a little better.

00:23:46.000 Libya is like $287 a barrel.

00:23:50.000 They can't make it if we're fracking.

00:23:52.000 That is the bottom line.

00:23:54.000 The biggest state sponsors of terrorism and sponsors of warfare cannot survive if we're fracking.

00:24:01.000 That's how important it is.

00:24:02.000 And so when you watch Biden come in and put the chokehold onto the oil patch, it shouldn't be surprising that the price skyrockets.

00:24:10.000 You're paying more for gasoline.

00:24:12.000 You're paying more for your electric bill because natural gas is so expensive.

00:24:16.000 I mean, the many, many, many bad effects of taking aim at the U.S. oil patch are worldwide.

00:24:16.000 Yes.

00:24:26.000 It's war.

00:24:27.000 It totally is.

00:24:29.000 Yes.

00:24:29.000 And so now the frackers have been squeezed from both sides.

00:24:33.000 And we also have a different component that is a big threat is we allow private ownership of minerals.

00:24:39.000 The only major country that allows that.

00:24:41.000 Talked a little bit about that.

00:24:42.000 That alone is an existential threat to an oligarch that has to pay, you know, the bagman and the politician.

00:24:50.000 I mean, it's just inherently super corrupt.

00:24:52.000 Yeah.

00:24:53.000 I mean, some people think that the oligarchs have the advantage because they can turn their economy on a dime, as Trudeau said, as he admired them.

00:25:01.000 And they can unilaterally make their own policy.

00:25:04.000 Whereas in this country, Joe Biden doesn't tell the millions of Americans who own minerals and own oil companies what they will or will not do.

00:25:15.000 So he just said that he could.

00:25:16.000 I remember if you've seen his statements lately, he's begged OPEC to produce more to bring the prices down.

00:25:22.000 And now he's begging our people, which is kind of interesting.

00:25:26.000 He has no authority to control how much oil or gas we produce.

00:25:30.000 We produce based on incentives.

00:25:33.000 What is the price?

00:25:34.000 If the price is high, people put their money there.

00:25:37.000 If it's not high, they put it somewhere else.

00:25:39.000 It just works like that here.

00:25:41.000 We don't have millions of royalty owners coming together and asking what is in the U.S. best interest.

00:25:49.000 And that's what we'll do.

00:25:50.000 That's how other countries work.

00:25:52.000 But here, it's a matter of profit.

00:25:54.000 That is all.

00:25:55.000 And so Biden cannot control them on state lands.

00:25:58.000 He can only control federal lands.

00:26:00.000 And so thank God for that in a sense, because we have some control, no matter who's in the White House, which is great.

00:26:09.000 Yeah.

00:26:09.000 But still.

00:26:10.000 The concern is obviously the federal lands, the transportation of it, right?

00:26:15.000 The exporting, the pipelines, all those things, you know, play into it.

00:26:19.000 And then I want to, I meant to kind of ask you about this, which was such a smart point.

00:26:24.000 The ESG, which stands for environmental sustainable governance.

00:26:29.000 So let's pretend that you are, you know, continental resources, or let's just say you're a Wildcatter out in Midland, Texas, a place you know very well.

00:26:39.000 And you're like, okay, I'm an entrepreneur.

00:26:41.000 Price of oil is at $85 a barrel.

00:26:44.000 Good luck getting financing.

00:26:45.000 Is that right?

00:26:46.000 Correct.

00:26:47.000 So what happened is maybe five years ago, you could definitely get financing.

00:26:52.000 And then you have now the World Economic Forum pushing out this ESG strategy.

00:26:58.000 It's basically a social credit system.

00:27:01.000 So the E is for environment.

00:27:03.000 That's where it hurts the oil patch where the incentives are to invest in green technologies as opposed to traditional fuels that actually work around the clock.

00:27:12.000 But at the same time, it's all the woke stuff.

00:27:15.000 So the social is diversity on a board, for example, or governance.

00:27:21.000 Also, how do you run your company?

00:27:23.000 Do you support things that are, I guess, supported by the regime or opposed by the regime?

00:27:31.000 Do you support the Georgia election law reform or not?

00:27:35.000 So this is where ESG comes in.

00:27:35.000 Right?

00:27:37.000 It's all about wokeness. 0.98

00:27:39.000 And it's really a social credit system.

00:27:41.000 And so the, yes, the oil producers must have money.

00:27:44.000 Most of them go to Wall Street and to institutional investors to get their cash to drill.

00:27:50.000 Some of them can actually get private money.

00:27:53.000 Now, if you can do that, you're a billionaire.

00:27:56.000 You can afford to fund your own operations.

00:27:59.000 That's great.

00:28:00.000 But a lot of them can't.

00:28:01.000 So this is the deal.

00:28:01.000 That's right.

00:28:03.000 They're totally at the mercy of Wall Street most of the time.

00:29:29.000 Jackie, tell us about your role.

00:29:31.000 What happened in Georgia and what's the latest?

00:29:33.000 Okay, so in Georgia, I was a volunteer for Donald Trump on his legal team.

00:29:37.000 And you might recall the video where you saw one of the election workers pulling ballots out from under a table and scanning them multiple times after the press and Republican observers had left the room after officials had told the press and observers that counting was finished for the night.

00:29:54.000 It would begin again at 8:30 in the morning.

00:29:56.000 In fact, in the state of Georgia, by law, they're required to hold open all proceedings to the public.

00:30:03.000 So that was all unlawful.

00:30:06.000 There were many other laws broken, but I won't go into all of that.

00:30:08.000 I just want you to know that the fight continues in Georgia and it has really heated up.

00:30:13.000 No one is covering this.

00:30:15.000 Among other things, there was a lawsuit by voters and Voter Georgia, a nonprofit, to inspect those ballots that you see on that video.

00:30:24.000 They brought in a forensic auditor from Ernst ⁇ Young who found a 21% error rate in the scanning of the ballots.

00:30:33.000 21% error rate, Fulton County ballots.

00:30:37.000 That's 147,000 ballots, I believe, he looked at.

00:30:41.000 So then David Perdue, who ran for Senate, you'll remember, and barely lost, files his own lawsuit, also seeking to review those ballots because they didn't get to do a good forensic review to see if the ballots were legitimate.

00:30:56.000 They simply scanned them and looked at their results and could see that there were thousands of ballots that had been scanned multiple times and things like that.

00:31:04.000 That is in plain view on the Secretary of State's website.

00:31:08.000 You can see the duplicate ballots right there.

00:31:10.000 So then there was a person who's just a private citizen sent a report to Governor Kemp showing 36 categories of irregularity with those ballots.

00:31:22.000 Kemp sent a report. to the Georgia State Board of Elections saying, my staff has spent weeks going over this.

00:31:30.000 We cannot reconcile all these irregularities.

00:31:33.000 Can you?

00:31:34.000 And he said, I'm not asking you to change the results of the election, but you've got Governor Kemp now on record and Robinsburger, the Secretary of State, has opened his very own investigation because he had no choice.

00:31:45.000 A group here in Texas called True the Vote in Houston did an open records request of all kinds of video of those drop boxes and found over 200 people making over 5,000 deposits in the group between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m.

00:32:08.000 And that is ballot harvesting, which is illegal in Georgia.

00:32:11.000 They're dropping multiple ballots into these drop boxes at a time.

00:32:16.000 In Georgia, you can only drop your own ballot.

00:32:18.000 What were all these other ballots?

00:32:20.000 And those are likely the ballots that you saw on the video.

00:32:23.000 And this is actually coming out in a movie that Dinesh D'Souza is releasing.

00:32:27.000 You probably heard about it.

00:32:28.000 It's called 2000 Mules.

00:32:30.000 Yeah, so the Secretary of State is now investigating that and almost apologizing for doing so.

00:32:35.000 He's like, well, we can't just let this lie there.

00:32:38.000 Like he's apologizing for doing his job over a year too late.

00:32:42.000 So where do you think this all ends up in Georgia?

00:32:45.000 We have elections coming up in just a couple months.

00:32:48.000 I think the first thing you'll see is that Georgians will take this election seriously and take it into their own hands.

00:32:54.000 Rather than trusting the Secretary of State or the police department to investigate or the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, I think you're going to see what you saw in Virginia with Youngkin for the first time.

00:33:06.000 Republicans got their act together and actually staffed each precinct and had teams in each county who were ready to respond where there were reports of irregularity or people being threatened or whatever it was.

00:33:20.000 And just having sets of eyes on the process of participating and showing up is a big part of it.

00:33:26.000 I can tell you, I've lived in eight states and I've never seen that before.

00:33:29.000 Typically, Democrats staff them all.

00:33:31.000 Republicans staff like 25%.

00:33:34.000 So I think that for the first time, Georgians' eyes are opened.

00:33:38.000 And I think you'll see Brad Robbinsberger be unelected.

00:33:41.000 I mean, at the very least, right, there's other changes that need to happen.

00:33:45.000 So, well, Jackie, thank you so much for covering that.

00:33:48.000 You've done such a great job.

00:33:49.000 And we're happy to be back on soon.
