00:00:04.000 Then we go through in great detail what is the Biden regime's agenda to try and abolish oil and natural gas as we know it today.
00:00:13.000 They admit on air, like, well, we want more gas, but we actually want to destroy you.

00:00:59.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:01:03.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:06.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:07.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:08.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:01:10.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:16.000 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.
00:01:25.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:28.000 Brought to you by Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage.
00:01:31.000 For personalized loan services, you can count on.
00:01:33.000 Go to andrewandtodd.com, the wonderfulandrewandtodd.com.
00:01:40.000 With us right now is the legend Bill O'Reilly.
00:01:44.000 He has a new book out that is very exciting that I want you all to go pick up a copy of, Killing the Killers, The Secret War Against Terrorists.
00:01:53.000 Bill, welcome back to the program.
00:01:55.000 Charlie, if I knew you were going to be informal, I would have worn a hat too.
00:01:58.000 Now you have to look at my thinning hair.
00:02:02.000 But thanks for having me in.
00:02:03.000 I appreciate it.
00:02:04.000 You know, daytime television, Bill, unlike when you were, you know, 16 years number one, just, yeah, you get away with more daytime TV.
00:02:13.000 Listen, as long as what you see is interesting and provocative.
00:02:13.000 It's good.
00:02:18.000 So, Bill, tell us about your book.
00:02:18.000 That's right.
00:02:20.000 So, Killing the Killers, a Secret War Against Terrorism is temporary history.
00:02:23.000 It's the 11th and the Killers.
00:02:25.000 At least 19 million copies of my books in print, the most successful nonfiction book series in history, pardon a pun.
00:02:32.000 Wow.
00:02:33.000 And what we were able to do, Charlie, is to talk to a number of national security advisors, beginning with David Petraeus in the Bush administration, all the way up to the end of the Trump administration, about how the bin Laden raid went down, al-Baghdadi got assassinated, Solamani got killed, Boko Haram, firefights in Africa with special forces, all of things that Americans really don't know about.
00:03:00.000 And so we begin with the bin Laden raid.
00:03:03.000 Everybody thinks they know what happened.
00:03:04.000 They don't.
00:03:05.000 We end with Afghanistan and the Debogine service people killed at the Kabul airport.
00:03:12.000 So it's one of those books where if you pick it up and start it, it'll be hard to stop it.
00:03:16.000 Well, that's phenomenal.
00:03:17.000 It's Killing the Killers.
00:03:18.000 So just kind of in your research of this, I mean, you've been covering this stuff for years.
00:03:22.000 What really stuck out for you?
00:03:23.000 What did you learn from your research with this that you didn't know prior to writing this book?
00:03:29.000 Almost everything.
00:03:30.000 So we went in with kind of a blank slate and we were dependent upon these national security advisors to tell us what happened.
00:03:37.000 But unlike most other authors and news people, I verify what they say.
00:03:42.000 So I'll give you a couple of examples.
00:03:44.000 The weaponry that the United States has now is just incredible.
00:03:50.000 It's space-based weaponry.
00:03:52.000 The Trump administration, $1.4 trillion was spent upgrading the military, and nobody knows where that money went.
00:03:59.000 Well, much of it went to space.
00:04:01.000 And the weapons that we have, Chinese don't have, Putin doesn't have, and they are so destructive and so amazing that every terrorist on the face of the earth knows that their life could be snuffed like that if one of these drones zeroes in on them.
00:04:17.000 And our villains in space can read the name of a golf ball, Charlie, three miles up.
00:04:24.000 So if you've got a golf ball, Fairway says titleist, they can read it from three miles away.
00:04:30.000 That's how incredible our infrastructure is.
00:04:34.000 So I don't know any of that.
00:04:36.000 Put it all in and how it works in Solimani's case, how it waxed him off the face of the earth.
00:04:44.000 And, you know, I think people are responding.
00:04:46.000 Killing the killer is number one in America.
00:04:48.000 That means it's the number one book in the world.
00:04:51.000 And it's been out since May 3rd.
00:04:53.000 So, Bill, I'm curious.
00:04:54.000 There's a lot of anxiety from Americans that our military is no longer the best in the world, that China or Russia, and I don't think Russia really should be taken seriously in comparison to ours.
00:05:06.000 But let's say China could very well surpass the United States military might.
00:05:10.000 In writing this book, what's your thought on that?
00:05:12.000 Is that something that you went into some detail with of are we still the greatest military in the world?
00:05:17.000 How do other nations, especially some of our enemies, compare?
00:05:20.000 We have the best trained military in the world, the best army military in the world.
00:05:24.000 And we know the numbers these have, but you don't really need that anymore with the high-tech weaponry.
00:05:29.000 Our special forces are, when you read Killing the Killers, Charlie, I mean, you're going to be amazed at how effective and disciplined they are, how brave they are.
00:05:38.000 So when you get into politics and there are no politics in Killing the Killers, I just lay it on out there.
00:05:45.000 What Bush did, what did what Trump did, and then the debacle in Afghanistan under Biden.
00:05:51.000 But when you see overall what the picture is, is that the professionals in the CIA and NASA, National Security Agency, they're still there.
00:06:00.000 So the same people under Trump are now still working under Biden.
00:06:04.000 They're the best in the world.
00:06:05.000 Those people, credible in distilling information and protecting Americans overseas.
00:06:11.000 The problem comes inside America with the insane open border Paul Biden administration has implemented.
00:06:19.000 We know that overseas terrorists have infiltrated that border and are here looking to kill Americans because that's what ISIS and Al-Qaeda are in business to do, kill infidels. 1.00
00:06:32.000 And we're at the top of that list.
00:06:34.000 The FBI is in charge of this stuff inside the United States.
00:06:39.000 The FBI's guy is cop to some degree.
00:06:41.000 It is not the agency it used to be.
00:06:43.000 That's a little bit worrisome.
00:06:45.000 As far as the generals in the Pentagon and what they do and don't do, you know, more political players, they're going to take the orders that they're given.
00:06:55.000 And right now, the orders really haven't changed.
00:06:58.000 So, Bill, I want to shift gears for a second here.
00:07:00.000 One thing I always love about your programs, especially when I was growing up watching the O'Reilly factories, is straight to the point, you know, no spin, no BS.
00:07:07.000 I want your opinion, because there's some disagreement in conservative circles, especially about whether Joe Biden is doing all this intentionally, or is this just a bunch of blunders and incompetence?
00:07:19.000 I mean, we see inflation, we see gas prices, we see the border wide open.
00:07:22.000 What's your take on that, Bill?
00:07:24.000 I don't think Biden has the capacity to absorb information based upon my observation of him and knowledge of him throughout his life and in comparison to other presidents.
00:07:35.000 I don't buy into the conspiracy that there's some kind of seat plan to destroy CAP League in America around the world.
00:07:42.000 I don't think there is any evidence to demonstrate that.
00:07:47.000 It is not beyond belief that it, but the evidence says Joe Biden simply cannot run The country.
00:07:59.000 It would be like you, Charlie, starting for the Rams in September at quarterback.
00:08:04.000 Now, you may be a pretty good athlete, Charlie, but you are not going to lead the Rams to the Super Bowl.
00:08:09.000 I agree with that.
00:08:11.000 So, Joe Biden, he run the country.
00:08:14.000 And in addition to that, he surrounded himself with the most far-led people that you could possibly get.
00:08:21.000 John Kerry, Susan Rice, Rice.
00:08:24.000 These are people who don't know much.
00:08:26.000 Their ideologues, it's global warming is going to kill us all next year.
00:08:30.000 So we have to destroy the American energy industry. 1.00
00:08:33.000 You know, stupidity. 1.00
00:08:35.000 But that Biden's in the league of the devil wanting to bring down his own country. 1.00
00:08:39.000 I do not.
00:08:40.000 So, about a minute and a half remaining in this segment, again, I want everyone to pick up a copy of the book, Killing the Killers.
00:08:46.000 I love all the killing series.
00:08:47.000 It's just phenomenal.
00:08:48.000 I learned so much about it.
00:08:49.000 Thank you, Charlie.
00:08:50.000 Especially Patton.
00:08:51.000 That's one of the greats.
00:08:52.000 I got to tell you, that one was really great.
00:08:54.000 So I want to ask you, though, about the Republican Party.
00:08:58.000 It seems as if Republicans are winning over more Hispanics, more working class voters.
00:09:02.000 Do you think there might be a political realignment that we're witnessing here?
00:09:05.000 And is it because anything Republicans are doing or because of most of the failure of the Democrats?
00:09:10.000 No doubt that Hispanic Americans are fleeing the Democratic Party, which is going to be a catastrophe. 0.98
00:09:15.000 There's no doubt about it.
00:09:17.000 It's based on the economy.
00:09:19.000 I mean, they're getting hurt.
00:09:21.000 So many, many Hispanic Americans are working people, wage earners, and their wages may go up a little, but they're not going to go up 11%.
00:09:28.000 That's what the inflation is running now.
00:09:31.000 When you count in the shrinking of the packaging, it's about 11%.
00:09:35.000 It's a catastrophe.
00:09:37.000 And Hispanics are hardworking people.
00:09:39.000 I have a lot of them working for me. 1.00
00:09:41.000 They bust their butt. 0.93
00:09:43.000 And now they're looking at this unbelievable inflation that didn't have to happen, and they're angry. 0.99
00:09:51.000 Hey, everybody.
00:09:52.000 This common sense is brought to you by the folks at secondvote.com, amazing people who are fighting back against woke corporations.

00:10:02.000 Good afternoon.
00:10:03.000 I'm Rebecca Hatfield, president of SecondVote.
00:10:05.000 We've had uniquely American common sense since 1776, but now we're in the age of common nonsense.
00:10:12.000 Today's nonsense comes in the form of calls for gun control.
00:10:15.000 What happened in Uvalde was an unimaginable tragedy.
00:10:18.000 And we know how the left never lets a tragedy go to waste.
00:10:21.000 They want to strip you of your Second Amendment rights. 0.93
00:10:24.000 But this isn't just an attack on your rights.
00:10:26.000 It's part of a bigger assault on the American family. 0.92
00:10:29.000 When the left attacks your rights to keep and bear arms, they're attacking your right to defend your family.
00:10:35.000 And while the woke companies say they care about children, they're giving the hard-earned dollars you spend with them to the abortion industry.
00:10:42.000 Companies like Dick Sporting Goods and Target call for gun control in the name of protecting children, but then immediately donate to Planned Parenthood.
00:10:49.000 Pizza Hut markets itself as a family-friendly restaurant, but then spreads gender confusion to third graders through book programs about drag kids.
00:10:57.000 And the Disney Corporation makes children's entertainment while fighting against laws designed to protect children from being taught about sex.
00:11:04.000 The left loves to use the phrase, enough is enough, when they want to pass laws and grow big government.
00:11:10.000 But it's conservatives who've really had enough of their nonsense.
00:11:14.000 At Second Vote, we do the research to expose big corporation politics by scoring hundreds of companies on traditional American values.
00:11:22.000 And we want you to use Second Vote research to make better choices with your money.

00:11:32.000 All the research you need is available at secondvote.com.
00:11:35.000 I'm Rebecca Hatfield, president of SecondVote, reminding you that your first vote is at the ballot box, but your second vote is with your wallet.

00:11:47.000 That's secondvote.com, promo code Charlie.
00:11:53.000 So, Bill, I want to get your thoughts.
00:11:55.000 You did the tour with President Trump.
00:11:57.000 It was very successful.
00:11:59.000 However, there's a lot of people in the conservative base right now that are debating DeSantis versus Trump.
00:12:06.000 What is your thought on that?
00:12:07.000 Do you think DeSantis will run?
00:12:08.000 And if so, do you think that he might be able to have some sort of path through the nomination and potentially the future of the Republican Party?
00:12:15.000 Okay, I'm not a party guy, Charlie, but obviously I followed as a journalist.
00:12:19.000 And I think Donald Trump has got the big advantage right now as it stands.
00:12:25.000 Got about 50% of the Republican Party supporting him.
00:12:30.000 He's raised more than a million dollars on his way to 200 million, colossal amount of money.
00:12:36.000 He managed the economy in a very effective way.
00:12:40.000 That's a key because Americans are going to get angrier over the next couple of years as we get hurt and people see their livelihoods here because of the incompetent Democrats.
00:12:53.000 So Trump ran the economy very, very well.
00:12:56.000 Even if you hate him, it's hard to dispute that.
00:13:00.000 Inflation 1.4% under Trump.
00:13:02.000 Robust economy up in all areas.
00:13:05.000 I mean, wow, so DeSantis run the state of Florida well, in my opinion.
00:13:12.000 He's much more of a conservative doctrinaire than his.
00:13:15.000 I don't think DeSantis will primary Trump. 0.96
00:13:19.000 It would be foolish of him to do that.
00:13:21.000 He's a relatively young man.
00:13:23.000 And why would you want to alienate all the MA people by primary Trump?
00:13:28.000 If you primary him, you're going to have to attack him.
00:13:31.000 So I don't see DeSantis doing that.
00:13:34.000 I did discuss with Donald Trump a possibility of putting DeSantis on a second.
00:13:39.000 He wasn't committal one way or the other on it.
00:13:44.000 I don't know whether that appeals to him.
00:13:46.000 If he did, one of the two men, Hillary Clinton, Bobby Kennedy, both moved out of their states to New York to become senators. 0.90
00:13:54.000 All DeSantis would have to do would be move up to southern Georgia from Tallahassee.
00:13:58.000 Trump could move back to the Trump Tower.
00:14:00.000 But at this point, I think the nomination is Trump's to lose, but there's a lot of things that could happen between now and 2023.
00:14:10.000 That's for sure.
00:14:11.000 Yeah, without a doubt.
00:14:13.000 And so if you were to kind of look at the country as a whole, not political and just between Republican or Democrats, what are the issues that you think aren't getting enough focus or enough airtime?
00:14:24.000 This is something that, quite honestly, I really miss because you used to zero in on these micro issues, whether it be corruption of judges or prosecutors that aren't putting forth cases or some micro trends that end up being macro trends.
00:14:36.000 What are you seeing in the news that you think isn't getting enough airtime in the mainstream media right now?
00:14:41.000 Well, first of all, Charlie, if you go to the no sues on billorilly.com, you'll get exactly what you got on the O'Reilly factor and more because we don't have all the commercials and all of that.
00:14:52.000 So right now, violent and the controversy over peaceful Americans arming themselves is not being reported accurately.
00:15:04.000 Saloons that run into schools and mow down about 2.3% of all homicides in America.
00:15:10.000 The real maniacs are the drug gangs who are heavily armed.
00:15:18.000 All the gun legislation is not going to affect that.
00:15:22.000 I mean, they don't buy their guns legally anyway.
00:15:24.000 And they generate all the gun deaths in America, generate more than 90% of them. 0.74
00:15:31.000 So that story is totally uncovered in a way that gives the American people a fact.
00:15:38.000 There is only one thing that could stop drug and gang and gun violence in America, and that is federalize all drying crops.
00:15:49.000 No longer, if you walk in Tennessee with a gun, would the state of Tennessee prosecute you?
00:15:57.000 The federal government would.
00:15:58.000 And if you're convicted of a gun crime and that includes illegal possession, you get a five-year band in a federal penitentiary.
00:16:07.000 So, what that does is it protects law-abiding gun owners from the intrusion loons who want to ban guns altogether because they don't respect your right to protect yourself.
00:16:07.000 Five.
00:16:18.000 That goes out.
00:16:19.000 All right.
00:16:20.000 And then the government's resources are focused with where they should be on the people that are doing gun crimes, the hardcore criminals.
00:16:28.000 The ignoring of violent crime, I totally agree with you, is the great story in America right now that the media is just totally glossing over.
00:16:36.000 Yeah, there's thousands of people who are victims of that.
00:16:38.000 If you're robbed, I mean, you never forget that.
00:16:40.000 I mean, and that's an assault on your dignity, and the government doesn't care.
00:16:44.000 Places like San Francisco and LA, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, you can steal a car and nothing's going to happen to you.
00:16:44.000 So, that's right.
00:16:49.000 Are you kidding me?
00:16:50.000 Bill, thank you so much for joining us. 1.00
00:16:52.000 Awesome, as always, killing the killers. 0.98

00:16:59.000 Look, over the years, you've probably tried different investments in stocks and mutual funds.
00:17:04.000 So now you know they could be up or down or all over the place.
00:17:07.000 But with inflation running at 8.5%, probably even higher than that, the highest rate for 40 years.
00:17:12.000 Do you need uncertainty?
00:17:13.000 Being able to sleep at night knowing your investments aren't about to crash.

00:18:01.000 We've talked at great length about the transitions that insurgents try to make in a country to destabilize and create a crisis.
00:18:13.000 We have a crisis of energy right now in America.
00:18:16.000 It is a crisis unlike anything we've experienced in recent memory.
00:18:21.000 The closest would be the late 1970s.
00:18:22.000 The Carter comparisons are going to grow a little old soon, but they're totally accurate and they're totally right. 0.61
00:18:27.000 The same exact thing happened with gas lines in the late 1970s.
00:18:31.000 You might see $10 gas sometime this summer.
00:18:34.000 Summer driving season is only starting to heat up.
00:18:38.000 But don't worry, Nancy Pelosi, this is who she blames for high gas prices. 0.94
00:18:44.000 Play Cut 84.
00:18:45.000 Constraints that COVID has played.
00:18:48.000 We have the Warren Rock.
00:18:49.000 We have COVID, which has really.
00:19:00.000 What is it, 2005?
00:19:04.000 The best part of the clip, you got to play it again.
00:19:07.000 She stops and she's like, I mean, you ever say something and you try to re-listen what you just are like, what the heck did I just say?
00:19:15.000 Play cut 84 again.
00:19:17.000 Constraints that COVID has played.
00:19:20.000 We have the Warren Rock.
00:19:21.000 We have COVID, which has really.
00:19:26.000 You look at the video.
00:19:27.000 She looks down at her head.
00:19:28.000 It's like, wait, what did I just say?
00:19:29.000 The war in Iraq?
00:19:30.000 Which continent are we invading this decade?
00:19:33.000 Is it the war?
00:19:34.000 Is it Vietnam?
00:19:40.000 These people should be nowhere near power.
00:19:45.000 Top Biden advisor Gina McCarthy says social media companies should censor the content that is critical of the green energy transition.
00:19:52.000 We are living through a transition.
00:19:54.000 They want to destroy fossil fuels.
00:19:56.000 They want you to be dependent on electric charging vehicle stations.
00:20:00.000 They want you to be dependent on a fossil fuel future.
00:20:07.000 Fossil fuels and the ability to go from one place to the other, the ability to energize your economy.
00:20:11.000 Energy is fundamental to a civilization.
00:20:14.000 Only in a country where you have grown used to the ability to grow, to go places quickly, are you able to focus on ideas that are so silly and so unrealistic as this?
00:20:25.000 Play cut 33.
00:20:28.000 We have to get tighter.
00:20:29.000 We have to get better at communicating.
00:20:32.000 And frankly, the tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation.
00:20:41.000 That's what the fossil fuel companies pay for.
00:20:44.000 That's what folks who make money out of fossil fuels and don't make money and don't care about saving consumers' costs.
00:20:53.000 That's what they do.
00:20:55.000 We have to be smarter than that.
00:20:56.000 And we need the tech companies to really jump in.
00:20:59.000 This is so typical.
00:21:05.000 You could just play this whole thing out.
00:21:08.000 Their policies fail.
00:21:09.000 Whose fault is it?
00:21:10.000 The fact that the other side is able to speak freely and criticize us.
00:21:13.000 Disinformation.
00:21:16.000 Soviets did the exact same thing. 0.89
00:21:18.000 Instead of looking introspectively, they're doing this to Myra Flores in Texas.
00:21:24.000 Myra Flores, they're calling a QAnon conspiracy theorist. 0.99
00:21:28.000 We predicted it live on air, and within hours, the articles have come out.
00:21:33.000 They believe they are losing the Latino and the Hispanic community, not because of inflation, gas prices, pregnant men, and all this other stuff. 0.99
00:21:41.000 They believe that they are losing Hispanics, that they think Hispanics are so stupid that they're not able to understand the news correctly because of disinformation. 1.00
00:21:52.000 I'm building up to an extraordinary piece of tape here. 0.99
00:21:56.000 We're going to get there in a second, but I want to play all this other tape to kind of set the table.
00:22:00.000 Cut 110, Karine Jean-Pierre.
00:22:04.000 We are calling on oil companies to be patriots and use Russia, not use Russia as an excuse not to pump.
00:22:12.000 Oh, so you want the gas prices to bail you out politically, even though you want to destroy their way of life and keep it on the ground.
00:22:20.000 Play cut 110.
00:22:21.000 Is there some way that the administration plans to try to hold these companies accountable?
00:22:26.000 You use the word responsibility in your rage at the time.
00:22:29.000 We see it as a patriotic duty.
00:22:32.000 As we are, as we've talked about, there's war happening right now in Ukraine that was caused by Russia, which is why we're seeing these hikes in gas prices.
00:22:44.000 But what I will say is that we are calling on them to do the right thing, to be patriots here, and not to use the war as an excuse.
00:22:54.000 It's not about patriotic duty.
00:22:57.000 It's about duty to the Democrat Party.
00:22:59.000 That's what they're saying.
00:23:02.000 So the political party that wants to tear down statues, burn flags, they're lecturing us about patriotic duty.
00:23:10.000 Give me a break.
00:23:12.000 Patriotic duty.
00:23:13.000 Right.
00:23:14.000 What you're saying is that your poll numbers have gone down so dramatically, it's your patriotic duty to please bail us out of a 33% approval rating.
00:23:24.000 They call patriots domestic terrorists.
00:23:27.000 They call parents domestic terrorists.
00:23:30.000 And it's our duty to do what exactly?
00:23:33.000 Now, I want to play this piece of tape.
00:23:35.000 It's about a two-minute piece of tape.
00:23:36.000 I want you to listen to it very carefully because something happens that I've not seen in an amazing, remarkable period of time.
00:23:43.000 CNN does some honest journalism here.
00:23:48.000 CNN asks some very good follow-up questions.
00:23:51.000 And so you have the activist, Jennifer Granholm, who is a two-minute clip, so it's a little bit longer than we usually play, and they go back and forth.
00:23:59.000 And she basically is begging, demanding, or threatening all at once, oil companies to start pumping up more oil.
00:24:07.000 But CNN asks a phenomenally brilliant question.
00:24:11.000 I can't believe I'm saying this, but they say, wait a second, why would these oil companies go drill more if you want to have them abolished in five years from now?
00:24:19.000 Why would they go employ a bunch of people, go set up a bunch of infrastructure to potentially now be obliterated down the road?
00:24:28.000 And this is such an important point that CNN stumbled into, maybe to get ratings or whatever.
00:24:32.000 I'm not really sure.
00:24:34.000 But the point that CNN is making here is exactly why oil companies are not sprinting to go drill more right now.
00:24:42.000 If you tell an industry they're polluters, they're evil capitalists, and that they're going to be shut down, regulated, and taxed into oblivion, why would they then go make massive investments to go do more of that activity?
00:24:57.000 Oil companies are doing just fine right now.
00:24:59.000 High price of oil, they're just going to sit on their hands, be like, why would we go drill more?
00:25:03.000 Now, if they felt confident the administration was going to have long-term backing of their industry, then yes, they would drill more and the price of oil would go down.
00:25:12.000 Listen to this extraordinary couple-minute exchange between Granholm and CNN, play cut $114.
00:25:34.000 We're asking them to be in this era where we're on a war footing to consider increasing supply, both dual and, of course, internationally.
00:25:42.000 Five years from now, 10 years from now, are you telling me you want them drilling for more oil?
00:25:49.000 You want the refineries putting out more gasoline in five or ten years?
00:25:54.000 What we're saying is today we need that supply increased.
00:25:57.000 Of course, in five or ten years, actually, in the immediate, we are also pressing on the accelerator, if you will, to move toward clean energy so that we don't have to be under the thumb of petro dictators like Putin or at the whim of the volatility of fossil fuels.
00:26:12.000 Ultimately, America will be most secure when we can rely upon our own clean domestic production of energy.
00:26:19.000 And that's the problem for these companies.
00:26:21.000 These companies are saying, you know, you're asking me to do more now, invest more now, when in fact, five or ten years from now, we don't think that demand will be there and the administration doesn't even necessarily want it to be there.
00:26:33.000 Just one last question on Saudi Arabia.
00:26:35.000 The president is going to Saudi Arabia, where we understand he will be meeting with the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
00:26:39.000 Is there any kind of promise beforehand that the Saudis will increase production?
00:26:46.000 No, there's no promise beforehand.
00:26:46.000 No.
00:26:48.000 No, there's not.
00:26:50.000 And let me just say, John, John, we really want to see us move to clean energy, but we also need to see this increase right now.
00:26:57.000 And we are asking the oil and gas companies as well to diversify and make sure that part of that they become diversified energy companies to be able to produce other means of clean energy because they have huge deep pockets.
00:27:11.000 They have a big ability to invest in the future as well as investing right now so that we don't see oil and gas causing the inflation numbers and people being hurt every day.
00:27:22.000 Energy Secretary General Granholm, I do appreciate you being with us this morning.
00:27:25.000 Thank you very much.
00:27:27.000 You bet.
00:27:29.000 A transcript of that interview.
00:27:31.000 I could teach a class on a transcript of that interview.
00:27:34.000 There is so much there.
00:27:36.000 So she is simultaneously telling oil companies, come on, bail us out, give us more production.
00:27:44.000 And John Berman, CNN host, asks a very thoughtful question.
00:27:49.000 Like, wait, hold on a second.
00:27:50.000 You're trying to tell me five years from now you're going to want to see these people still producing oil?
00:27:55.000 And she says, Well, no, of course not.
00:27:58.000 Then listen, answer the question, Jennifer Granholm.
00:28:01.000 And I guarantee I'm going to look it up right now.
00:28:02.000 Jennifer Granholm, what's her background?
00:28:05.000 Has Jennifer Granholm ever worked on an oil rig?
00:28:08.000 Has Jennifer Granholm ever, does she know what fracking is? 0.96
00:28:10.000 No, she's probably a lifelong academic.
00:28:13.000 She attended University of California, Berkeley, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in 1984, and then Harvard Law School.
00:28:19.000 She was editor-in-chief of the Harvard Civil Rights Civil Liberties Law Review.
00:28:23.000 She then clerked for Judge Damon Keith and became assistant U.S. Attorney for Eastern District of Michigan.
00:28:32.000 How did she ever get to become the Department of Energy head, Secretary of Energy? 0.99
00:28:38.000 Hired a CNN for a political contributor in 2017.
00:28:41.000 She became the host of the war room of Jennifer Granholm on Current TV.
00:28:45.000 And they pick her to go run the energy department. 1.00
00:28:48.000 Does she even know what a rig is?
00:28:49.000 Does she know how to frack? 1.00
00:28:51.000 Could she tell you the difference between petroleum and natural gas?
00:28:56.000 She was on the board of an electric vehicle battery company.
00:28:58.000 We do know that.
00:28:59.000 She's got deep ties to the electrical vehicle economy. 0.54
00:29:05.000 She's a Canadian-American.
00:29:07.000 So she has no knowledge whatsoever of what does it actually take to develop the process to be able to extract oil and natural gas from the Permian Basin or from the Marcella Shale or the Balkan Shale.
00:29:20.000 Come on, just like, come on, get more out of it.
00:29:22.000 Just give us more right now.
00:29:23.000 By the way, we don't want you to exist in five years.
00:29:29.000 Give us more, and then we're not going to make this happen anymore.
00:29:33.000 Oh, she was also governor of Michigan.
00:29:35.000 Small little note on her bio.
00:29:37.000 Don't know how that makes you qualified.
00:29:39.000 Probably because of electric vehicles or something or whatever.
00:29:45.000 She says, in the immediate, we're going to be transitioning, but we also demand more from you right now to be able to help resurrect our sinking poll numbers.
00:29:55.000 So go, this is what she wants.
00:29:56.000 She wants you to go expand your oil rigs in the Permian Basin outside of Midland, Texas.
00:30:03.000 But she then tells you simultaneously, hey, in a couple months, that's going to be a graveyard of rigs and you're going to have to figure out how to pay for it.
00:30:11.000 And the energy community says, yeah, not going to happen.
00:30:15.000 We know what you're up to.
00:30:17.000 Without pipelines, how are we going to move our product?
00:30:19.000 We're going to sit on this high gas price right now because you have just told us you don't want us to exist.
00:30:26.000 And amazingly, CNN flushed that out.
00:30:32.000 How many years have I been telling you about Relief Factor?
00:30:34.000 Producer Andrew's right here doing an Iron Man thanks to Relief Factor.
00:30:37.000 And truth is, I know there are millions of people.
00:30:39.000 In fact, some say over 100 million people struggling with some kind of pain, maybe from exercise or just getting older.
00:30:44.000 That can do it, getting older, which is why I'm so impressed with the people at relieffactor.com.
00:30:49.000 They are on a mission.
00:30:50.000 You rarely see this kind of focus and commitment.
00:30:52.000 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.
00:30:58.000 And I believe they'll do it.
00:30:59.000 So here's the deal: 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.

00:31:29.000 It's still Pride Month, is what we are told.
00:31:32.000 Let's go to Cut 111.
00:31:34.000 Joe Biden mumbling about Pride Month at the White House, play cut 111.
00:31:39.000 Advancing equality, consideration, gay, persecutor, for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex individuals.
00:31:48.000 That's what I'm about to sign.
00:31:50.000 Now, we've done some focus on drag queens. 1.00
00:31:54.000 So, for those of you that don't know what a drag queen is, it is a person who is under a mental delusion who thinks they are a different gender, and they dress up and they put all sorts of weird makeup on, and then they go dance in front of kids.
00:32:09.000 If you do a drag queen with your kids, there's drag queens without kids, obviously, but kind of the new weird fascination is that you now have to go do this in front of children.
00:32:19.000 This could be called drag queen story hour, drag queen bar time with children.
00:32:23.000 It should be illegal, it should be banned, it's predatory in nature.
00:32:28.000 And so, we've been kind of covering this.
00:32:30.000 Alex Stein did some great coverage of this in Dallas.
00:32:33.000 Drew Hernandez with us at Turning Point USA did some great coverage at Parade recently, really made the alphabet mafia just go insane that anyone would dare kind of show how children are now being invited to these pride parades, whatever they call them. 0.51
00:32:51.000 But this has all been, in some sense, kind of on the fringes.
00:32:54.000 I mean, Nancy Pelosi called drag queens heroes or something of the sort that you guys are what makes America great.
00:33:00.000 Like, yeah, you know, it's not our veterans, our police officers, manufacturing base, our pastors, our charity, our benevolency.
00:33:06.000 No, no, no, what makes our country great, according to Nancy Pelosi, is our drag queens. 1.00
00:33:12.000 But now, an office holder, the attorney general of Michigan, Dana Nessel, said, You know what we need?
00:33:21.000 It's not a chicken in every pot, as Steve Bannon would say.
00:33:25.000 We need a drag queen in every school. 1.00
00:33:29.000 Play cut 81.
00:33:32.000 You know what's not a problem for kids who are seeking a good education?
00:33:37.000 Drag queens. 0.90
00:33:38.000 Okay?
00:33:39.000 Can we get this?
00:33:40.000 Drag queens, not only are they not hurting our kids. 1.00
00:33:43.000 Drag queens make everything better. 1.00
00:33:45.000 Drag queens are fun. 1.00
00:33:47.000 Drag queens are entertainment. 1.00
00:33:51.000 And you know what I'll say that was totally not poll tested?
00:33:55.000 I say this: a drag queen for every school. 0.95
00:33:58.000 Yes!
00:33:59.000 That is what we're going to be mine for a kid and lift them up when they're having emotional issues. 0.94
00:34:08.000 Yeah, it's not poll tested, but come on, a drag queen for every school. 1.00
00:34:12.000 And now, of course, the media says, well, she was just joking, Detroit News.
00:34:17.000 A.G. Dana Nessel jokes a drag queen for every school.
00:34:20.000 Oh, so when the Democrats say something they want to retract, it's a joke.
00:34:25.000 When Republicans say something that is true, it's a threat to democracy.
00:34:31.000 She's now saying she was just joking.
00:34:33.000 She wasn't know she was being recorded.
00:34:35.000 It's interesting how these people say they're joking when they get exposed.
00:34:39.000 This woman is the chief law enforcement officer of Michigan.
00:34:44.000 The attorney general of Michigan is saying, Yeah, we need a drag queen for every school. 1.00
00:34:50.000 In fact, you know what?
00:34:52.000 The big takeaway from Uvalde, the big takeaway from all these school shootings, according to Dana Nessel, it's not that we need school resource officers or single-point entry or dogs.
00:35:04.000 According to Dana Nestel, you know what we need?
00:35:06.000 You know what will stop school shootings?
00:35:08.000 Drag queens. 0.90
00:35:10.000 She says that they're great. 0.79
00:35:14.000 That if we just had more drag queens in these schools throwing glitter in people's faces with signs that say it's not going to lick itself, which is what happened at the drag queen at the bar in Dallas, according to Dana Nessel, the depraved and perverted Attorney General of Michigan, the Attorney General, this is not some weird activist.
00:35:39.000 This is not some fringe person at Arizona State University that we just got on camera and we asked them questions.
00:35:44.000 It's not some college campus kid that stumbles upon it.
00:35:47.000 It's not even a college professor.
00:35:48.000 This is the chief law enforcement officer of Michigan.
00:35:54.000 Yes, she is a weird activist, but I'm going to try to say it's not some sort of fringe person.
00:35:57.000 She has a badge, and she has people that work for her with badges.
00:36:03.000 Is this in alignment with Michigan values?
00:36:05.000 Are the Michigan auto workers like, yeah, that Dana Nestle?
00:36:10.000 We can't afford gas.
00:36:11.000 We can't afford our mortgage, but she'll put a drag queen in our kids' school. 1.00
00:36:15.000 I can't imagine that's popular in the great state of Michigan.
