00:00:00.000
Hello everybody, I'm Lou Dobbs. Welcome to the Great America Show and thanks for being with us
00:00:04.940
here where truth, justice, and the American way are the order of the day every day. First and
00:00:12.320
foremost, I want to say thank you to each and every one of you who chooses to make our podcast
00:00:17.460
part of your day. We deeply appreciate you and thank you for being in the fight to push back
00:00:22.900
the dark forces of the Marxist radical Dems and the deep state aligned with their cohorts among
00:00:29.360
the global elites and corporatist authoritarians. We'll prevail in this fight, but you and I and
00:00:35.400
our fellow citizens will have to engage the enemies of our republic wherever they reside
00:00:40.600
within this great country of ours. This is nothing less than a fight for our future and thank you for
00:00:47.340
being in the fight for the American way of life. Right now, there's unquestionably a rising drum
00:00:53.500
beat for war. President Biden last year encouraged Ukraine to join NATO, knowing full well that was
00:01:00.840
a red line that Putin had worn for years. He would not permit to be crossed without response. Biden and
00:01:08.460
his masters now want war and worse so do most Republicans in the Senate. Only 11 voted against
00:01:15.420
a massive $40 billion military aid bill, a bill that dwarfs any European support for Ukraine.
00:01:22.180
Let your senators and congressmen please know you insist that President Biden honor his promise
00:01:29.200
not to send American troops into Ukraine. Biden, by the way, is still thinking about student loan
00:01:36.380
forgiveness, a sickening display of wanton authoritarian disregard for law. He has no authority to do
00:01:43.560
anything like this unilaterally, but of course that won't stop him. He's out to use taxpayer money to
00:01:50.280
bribe young voters and buy this election, but he may have to up the ante. Almost 80 percent of the
00:01:56.640
country now says the United States is headed in the wrong direction, and the majority of voters say
00:02:03.020
Biden is simply unfit to be president. I think he's proved that convincingly, don't you?
00:02:09.580
The good news is the possibility of a giant Republican wave this year. It's rising dramatically.
00:02:15.460
The left is out of control, but will that be enough? Still to be determined. To take up all of
00:02:21.860
this and more, our guest today is Mr. New York himself, nationally syndicated radio host and
00:02:27.780
great American, who, by the way, proved prophetic when he declared what would happen to the world's
00:02:34.000
richest man when he decided to buy Twitter. Well, I've never been aforesaid, but whatever that is,
00:02:41.260
I'm glad. It's really good. It's really, really good. As a matter of fact, it doesn't get much
00:02:48.420
better than that, especially on this show. To be aforesaid, that's rare stuff. Speaking of rare
00:02:55.100
stuff, when someone makes a call like you did on this show in the middle of April, well, I guess it
00:03:03.980
was toward the end of April because Elon Musk had already made his position known, you started talking
00:03:09.860
about what was going to happen now that he was trying to take over Twitter. And I have to say,
00:03:17.500
my friend, you nailed it 100%. Let's roll the sound from the show that day and Mark Simone.
00:03:25.260
Now, we're going to go into phase two, which is they're going to try to Donald Trump,
00:03:29.520
Elon Musk. They're going to try to take him out. They're going to paint him as a racist. They're
00:03:33.580
going to try to make him a criminal. They're going to try to indict him. They started the first day by
00:03:37.740
saying he doesn't pay his fair share. He doesn't pay taxes. He paid 11 billion last year. That's
00:03:43.360
the single biggest payment ever in American history. So now they've started the racist stuff.
00:03:49.040
They're looking for racist things in his past. They'll do what they did to Trump. The attorney
00:03:54.800
generals will go after him. The White House will go after him, the Justice Department, the SEC,
00:03:59.260
the FTC. They'll send everything after him and try to criminalize him. I'm sure he's a smart guy.
00:04:05.320
I'm sure he knows that. And I'm sure he's ready for it. He is ready for it. And I have to say,
00:04:11.120
if he wasn't, I am sure he was listening to you on The Great America Show, being advised to
00:04:17.780
shields up, as they say. It was a great call. And you were exactly right. And poor Elon Musk. If you
00:04:29.560
can call a man with 200 billion dollars, poor, I really do feel sorry for him because he's a man of
00:04:35.220
such crystal clear communication and clarity of thought and brilliance of thought. A great American
00:04:44.580
to see him have to go through this. It's almost on the same level as if they were going after Einstein
00:04:52.800
for crying out loud. What is, you know, this culture is sick, isn't it?
00:04:58.200
Oh, these Democrats, you know, they work so hard at this. You know, most men, you know,
00:05:03.320
single guys, you try to meet a woman, hard to meet. You just announced you're a Republican.
00:05:08.740
They'll find 37 women that claim they went out with you, that claim you grabbed them. And look at this
00:05:14.360
poor Justice Kavanaugh. This guy looks like the straightest arrow I've ever seen. All of a sudden,
00:05:19.920
they nominated him. This woman says he grabbed him. This one, he groped her. This one, he can't
00:05:24.600
believe it. I did what? I did what? So now they got a woman claiming Elon Musk did something. She's
00:05:29.900
gotten the whole story backwards. Look at Donald Trump. He was the most famous guy in the world for
00:05:34.400
30 years. Never an accusation of anything. Soon as he announces he's running, there's this, you know,
00:05:40.460
19 women coming out. And you look at each one of them, the last women in the world, Donald Trump would
00:05:45.680
be going out with. And this never stops. If the Democrats put this much effort into running the
00:05:52.280
country as they do into these smear campaigns, they would be doing a better job. Yeah. As a matter of
00:05:58.380
fact, some of the claims that were made, Donald Trump as a single man was well known for his being
00:06:08.580
drawn to a very attractive women, uh, models, actresses, you know, on that order of attractiveness.
00:06:16.680
Uh, it's just, uh, it's, it's quite, it's quite remarkable. And to see Elon Musk handle it the way
00:06:22.680
he did, did and is doing, uh, he has, he had this thing so far thought out. Uh, he has a bank of
00:06:31.600
attorneys. He has a bank, uh, of, uh, uh, friends around him. Uh, and obviously they mean business.
00:06:40.720
Uh, it's, uh, and I love the fact he's creating his own new personal law firm within, uh, within Tesla.
00:06:48.380
Uh, and they're going to go after everyone. Uh, and I love this concept of justice, Mark. He says,
00:06:54.740
we will, we will never ever continue a lawsuit against a just claim. On the other hand, we will
00:07:02.400
never, uh, stop fighting an unjust claim. I think that's the essence of justice. Don't you?
00:07:09.020
Yeah. You've got to send a message to these false accusers, to these, uh, operatives who come up with
00:07:14.220
these false accusers and, uh, hopefully he'll keep that law firm and lend it to whatever candidate needs
00:07:20.080
it or whatever Republican needs it. Uh, you know, when you got 200 and something billion dollars,
00:07:25.840
you could set up a permanent organization just to help out people who are falsely accused and just,
00:07:31.420
just for running for office. You know, uh, it used to be a dream of every, I remember people used to
00:07:38.640
ask you to run for something. Uh, can you imagine who would go into this business with, with all this
00:07:44.460
stuff they throw at you? Yeah. You know, I, I didn't want to do it because I just really don't,
00:07:48.780
I really just don't care for politicians. I'm, I'm very serious about that. And I, I couldn't very
00:07:54.260
well, I just couldn't imagine myself sitting through a chicken dinner, uh, at all, uh, because
00:08:00.140
I like to have the ability to say, you know, it was great seeing you guys and you have a great
00:08:03.660
evening and adios, uh, by the way, you know, who we used to be like that as well, uh, is Donald Trump.
00:08:10.520
He used to go into a reception or a dinner anywhere in New York. He'd probably, unlike me,
00:08:17.340
I would do that with one group who, whoever had invited me. And then my wife and I would take
00:08:23.440
off, uh, Trump would come in. He would hit probably four or five receptions and dinners
00:08:30.280
and be there for, you know, I don't know how long, 10, 15 minutes, enough time to be cordial and,
00:08:35.100
you know, say hello to everybody. Uh, but that's going back 30 years, uh, with a man. Uh, he, uh,
00:08:41.740
he was not the most, uh, I don't know. He, he didn't thrive on the duration of the event.
00:08:47.380
I'll put it that way. Yeah. I used to be often the MC of those dinners here in Manhattan. And,
00:08:52.300
uh, yeah, he always went to the cocktail hour, said hello to everybody he needed to and got the
00:08:56.920
hell out of there. Uh, and by the way, the other night I emceed a dinner, which was all the top,
00:09:02.400
uh, real estate guys and the construction companies that work for all these real, but the biggest of the
00:09:07.880
biggest, and I've never seen a crowd like this. It was so loud, so boisterous. Uh, and as the MC,
00:09:14.280
it couldn't get a word in over these people. And it, I started to realize what, you know,
00:09:17.740
if you wonder how did, why is Donald Trump so brash? So that's how you have to talk in that
00:09:21.900
business. Now I understand it better. You got to be like that to survive there.
00:09:26.520
Those developers are really real estate guys. They're not what you call shrinking violence.
00:09:31.100
No. And, uh, and, and they work with blue collar guys, you know, moving steel, uh, you know,
00:09:37.320
thousand feet in the air or whatever. Uh, it it's, uh, it's tough hombres. And, uh, I, I think by the
00:09:45.240
way, that's the way business ought to be run with guys that talk straight. They talk, you know,
00:09:49.720
loud or soft. I don't care, but talk straight, uh, and make a point. Uh, instead they end up in
00:09:56.100
two hour meetings, uh, in a corporate powwow of some kind or other. Usually, uh, it's, it's fun to
00:10:03.180
watch a guy like Jamie diamond at JP Morgan chase, holding forth on all the issues of the pub,
00:10:08.140
you know, uh, public policy and banking. And, and he's, and then he's telling you how stupid
00:10:15.120
everybody else is. Meanwhile, the guy has got the most, uh, bulletproof bank in the, in the world
00:10:21.140
supported by the United States government. And he's paying off more fines and more fees for, uh,
00:10:28.480
excesses and irregularities and, uh, well, just breaking the law, uh, than people ever take
00:10:34.240
note of, at least in the business press. Yeah. You know, the biggest problem this country faces
00:10:39.240
is the totally corrupt media. Uh, cause you get the impression if you're just the average citizen,
00:10:44.540
not following it that closely, that Donald Trump was all kinds of horrible things were happening.
00:10:48.980
Now everything is great. There's nothing Donald Trump did that Joe Biden hasn't done 50 times.
00:10:53.600
They just don't cover it when Joe Biden does it, whether it's they're starting to at least. Uh,
00:10:59.500
and I have to say, I'm getting a kick out of this Sussman trial. Uh, I don't know about you,
00:11:04.520
but I mean, when you've got, uh, Robbie Mook, the, uh, former campaign director, the 2016 presidential
00:11:11.620
campaign director for Hillary Clinton, admitting that she is the one who checked off on spreading
00:11:18.200
that absolutely grotesque piece of disinformation on the so-called Russia collusion. Uh, it's, it's,
00:11:26.020
it is just amazing. And the, and the left-wing media, the corporate media just could barely
00:11:32.240
contain themselves and it's, and barely report the story. Yeah. Well, that's a good example of what
00:11:38.140
I'm talking about. You remember the Paul Manafort trial because he worked for Trump. They went after
00:11:42.500
him and they found something from 20 years earlier, some money laundering overseas, nothing to anybody,
00:11:47.820
nothing to do with Trump. That was the lead story for 10 minutes on every newscast. This is earth
00:11:53.120
shattering. You can watch Lester hold every night or George Stephanopoulos. You're not going to hear
00:11:57.100
about this. And the campaign manager, as you say, names, Hillary Clinton in this, and that's not the
00:12:02.940
lead story on the nightly news, but Roger stone was, how is that possible? And the, the, the former
00:12:09.820
general general counsel of the FBI, James Baker says point blank. Uh, yeah. Sussman was pretty much lying.
00:12:17.020
Yeah. That's the way it was. And, uh, uh, I it's the Washington post had a great paragraph. I wish I
00:12:24.380
had it here with me, but the, the reporter went to such links, not to be, not to say that there was
00:12:32.060
actual evidence and testimony that Hillary Clinton lied and directed the lie. And that Michael Sussman,
00:12:40.580
was, uh, was lying. Uh, they sort of acknowledged there was something untoward going on, but with,
00:12:48.000
you know, white gloves on their, uh, language and very gentle touch with their expression.
00:12:54.000
It was just a foggery. All of it was foggery. Can I make my next prediction? Please.
00:13:00.740
Jeff Bezos will has seen the light. You're going to see the Washington post start to convert
00:13:06.040
to an objective newspaper and start to go after this stuff. They have greatly mistreated
00:13:13.660
Jeff Bezos and they keep, uh, you know, the Elizabeth Warrens and the Democrats keep going
00:13:18.060
after him as if he's dodging his taxes. Uh, he does, they don't pay a lot of tax at Amazon
00:13:23.120
because they don't take any profit. They pump it right back into research and development
00:13:26.500
into the business. And they keep, well, they keep discussing him. Like he's a businessman.
00:13:31.180
He's not, he's a incredible pioneer changing the world. He's like a Whitney, a Vanderbilt,
00:13:36.060
a Rockefeller building the railroad. He's changing everything. He's not just some business guy at a
00:13:40.940
hedge fund. Uh, it's interesting. You talk about, uh, Jeff Bezos and you talk about Elon Musk,
00:13:47.500
you're talking about two historical figures. There is no question about it whatsoever. Uh, and they both
00:13:54.720
interested in space and Bezos giving it, uh, you know, part of his attention, but not of his full
00:14:02.500
attention. And, and Elon Musk, obviously with SpaceX driving an entire industry, the, the private space
00:14:13.360
industry, as well as by the way, the, the government space industry, uh, toward capacities that never
00:14:19.340
existed before recoverable, uh, boosters, uh, learning that you can actually land rockets, uh,
00:14:26.820
on their tails after you fire them off and send them off around the world, uh, quite literally in
00:14:33.480
orbit. It's, it's just extraordinary what the man has done. And as you say, Bezos, uh, what he built
00:14:41.220
in Amazon, he was the first, you talk about, uh, being a disruptor, man, is he the essence of disruptor,
00:14:48.320
uh, is I think to a further extent, frankly, than, uh, Musk is even in, uh, EVs. Yeah. But why are you,
00:14:56.280
why do you believe he'll do that? Because I got to tell you, that means that they'd have to fire
00:15:00.300
every reporter and editor at the Washington post to get to that level of, uh, quality journalism,
00:15:07.240
i.e. independent, objective, factual. Well, as you say, they're already starting to go after a Biden
00:15:14.860
on some things and Bezos is getting madder and madder. It is something nobody thinks about this
00:15:19.860
gasoline going from $2 to $4 to $5 to $6. They're even talking about some companies are having to add
00:15:26.460
a digit to the pump in case they go over $10. California. Yeah. People don't realize Jeff
00:15:32.060
Bezos is the single biggest purchaser of gasoline in America. Nobody has more trucks. That's what
00:15:37.800
Amazon does all day is deliver stuff. They have 500,000 vehicles. They operate all day. So the
00:15:43.640
price of gas going, that completely changes his whole ratio margin business model. He's mad. And
00:15:50.180
he wants, he wants this to stop this nonsense. And of course, uh, he hasn't been mentioned too often
00:15:55.740
as one of the great polluters on the planet. Well, I wonder why. Well, there is that part of it.
00:16:05.060
And we're talking about the $10 a gallon gasoline. Uh, I'm going to worry less about Bezos, frankly,
00:16:11.360
than I am about, uh, you know, a hundred million Americans are working their tails off, uh, to make
00:16:16.900
this economy work. And it's, uh, it's a very tough time. And it's one of the reasons that we're looking
00:16:23.440
at these, these polls, Mark, my gosh, we're looking at something I don't recall ever saying, I'm sure it's
00:16:30.240
happened, but I don't recall my career seeing it. We're talking about 20% approving of the direction
00:16:37.120
of the country, 20%. Uh, I've never seen it that low. And we're talking about nearly in the high
00:16:43.780
seventies saying the country is on the wrong track. You can take all of the other polls as far as I'm
00:16:48.820
concerned. And if you've just focused on that, that tells you what's going to happen in November,
00:16:54.180
uh, at least what should happen if indeed electoral integrity, uh, is in place.
00:17:01.360
Yeah. I also just to show you, no matter how much the media covers for Joe Biden,
00:17:05.320
the public sees what's going on with price. I mean, they're going broke with these prices,
00:17:09.680
the inflation, the crime is out of control. It's, you know, they say there's a UFOs and
00:17:14.800
they've been watching us. If they've been watching us, they must be saying, why did they hate that last
00:17:19.700
guy so much? Everything was great with him and everything stinks now. Why do they like this new
00:17:24.460
guy? They must just be stunned at how crazy we are about this. Or perhaps they, they deduced a,
00:17:31.080
a little known quality in the cosmos, uh, a society, the American people that rejects leaders who keep
00:17:40.100
their promises. They're so unused to that occurring. They didn't know how to react in 2020, uh, and just
00:17:47.380
decided not to deal with the anomaly of a Donald J Trump. I mean, you could derive all sorts of
00:17:52.880
things, but to think what he accomplished in four years, we get with everybody against him. Uh, you
00:17:59.880
know, I'm going to be talking to him. And I, one of the things I'm just anxious to hear, you know,
00:18:04.020
give him, give us a, an answer to is how in the world do you feel after going through this for six
00:18:10.080
years to hear in a federal district court, uh, before a special counsel, the, the, the guy who
00:18:18.420
was running your opponent's campaign admit that she is the one who gave the order to disseminate
00:18:24.500
lies and lies that even the FBI and the department of justice knew were lies, but nonetheless,
00:18:31.200
they were spread and no one said a word. It was the biggest political dirty trick ever in history.
00:18:39.240
You know, Watergate was just picking a lock on one little door, breaking into one guy's office and
00:18:44.780
tapping a phone. That was it. This was that times a billion. And where were Woodward and Bernstein on
00:18:50.580
this? They had no interest in it. Where, where was the Washington post on this one? And, uh, remember
00:18:55.900
the Washington post Mark, remember was 500 days late and the Hunter Biden, a laptop was real. And
00:19:04.700
yes, he is a scumbag and yes, he is under, uh, investigation. Oh, I, you can't say that. You
00:19:12.320
can't call him a name because he is the son of the president. Let me tell you what that guy's lifestyle,
00:19:17.620
what he's done to the American people, what he's done to his family, uh, and what his family has
00:19:23.300
become. Uh, I think he's far worse than that, that name, uh, in a dozen others. I could apply
00:19:29.920
very quickly. Yeah. Uh, but, um, this is just out of control. The media being so corrupt, you know,
00:19:37.400
it used to be the media was biased, you know, slanted a little now it's just total corruption
00:19:41.400
that they should be all over. Hey, those 17 intelligence, uh, heads of, uh, intelligence
00:19:46.360
who said definitely Russian collusion. Why aren't they all fired? Why aren't they all being,
00:19:52.920
uh, looked at and those 50 people that signed the letter that, uh, Hunter's, uh, laptop was a
00:19:58.820
Russian. Just why, why aren't they? Every one of them should be fired and ostracized immediately.
00:20:03.140
Yeah. It's, you know, the, here's that poll that is talking about one of the polls, uh, recently,
00:20:09.060
most Americans say, uh, things are going badly under president Biden, who they described as
00:20:17.040
distracted and incompetent, uh, by large manure, manure majorities. They are now fed up clearly
00:20:24.860
with how he's running the country. And here we go. Eight in 10 voters say things in America are
00:20:33.180
going somewhat or very badly. 77%, just about 80%. And just about 70% said the economy is off.
00:20:43.380
Well, it's fairly or very bad. I don't know the difference between fairly bad and very bad,
00:20:48.880
but that's what they pulled. And, you know, it's just, it's appalling. I would like to share with
00:20:55.740
the audience something that, uh, is going on in Davos where the, the elites meet, uh, and, uh,
00:21:01.600
and Klaus Schwab is the founder and the leader of the WEF, the world economic forum. That's,
00:21:10.560
and about, I guess there's 150 heads of state, various ministers. And of course the
00:21:16.440
always present John Kerry is president Biden's envoy on climate. Isn't that an important job?
00:21:24.380
I want to see if you think of anything, if anything comes to your mind, when you listen to this,
00:21:29.940
this authoritarian, uh, uh, statement by Klaus Schwab, as he, as he leads the elites forward into a new
00:21:45.500
Let's also be clear. The future is not just happening. The future is built by us,
00:21:52.980
by a powerful community as you here in this room. We have the means to improve the states of the world,
00:22:03.240
but two conditions are necessary. The first one is that we act all as stakeholders of larger communities,
00:22:16.160
that we serve not only self-interests, but we serve the community. That's what we call stakeholder
00:22:24.880
responsibility. And second, that we collaborate. And this is the reason why you find...
00:22:34.780
Yeah. Anything come to mind as you heard all of that?
00:22:38.060
Yeah. Bela Lugosi, George Orwell, Dr. Strangelove.
00:22:43.240
I said, I, I, the first thing I thought, I'm, I'm listening to Dr. Strangelove.
00:22:59.420
The man is saying that the people, the elites in that room have built and drive everything in the world.
00:23:06.180
Instead of serve the governments of the people, uh, by the people and for the people, at least in the United States,
00:23:14.960
at least we can cover for 330 million Americans and to have our, our emissaries, our envoys,
00:23:22.960
as they're now called, uh, John Kerry and the Biden, uh, likes acolytes as well, uh, is it's disgusting.
00:23:32.920
And these people are, they represent corporate America, U S multinationals, business all over the world.
00:23:40.000
Some of the wealthiest people and wealthiest, certainly, uh, corporations.
00:23:44.280
They are working against the interest of the United States and free people everywhere.
00:23:50.900
And well, and you know, and also they dump these dumb things.
00:23:53.980
They do like a two days of it is climate change, fighting climate change.
00:24:00.020
There's 400 private jets park there that they all used to get to Davos.
00:24:04.600
Uh, not, you know, they've been having these meetings for how many years and years and years?
00:24:10.380
They've never changed anything, influenced anything, done anything except, uh, open up our borders and, uh, destroy economies,
00:24:17.020
but they've never done anything to help anybody.
00:24:20.420
And, uh, uh, why again, corrupt media, they don't cover this.
00:24:25.320
They let these guys get away with all of this nonsense.
00:24:27.700
You know, I guess that's a great way to define the difference between the elites and we, the people, the populist, the, the rich take their, their planes, uh, big iron into Davos.
00:24:53.040
No, you get these, you know, Mike Bloomberg, I've counted this up.
00:24:59.540
He's got 11 houses, but you should take the bus to conserve.
00:25:13.620
Uh, let, let's listen if we may to, uh, uh, Karine Jean-Pierre, uh, the white house press secretary.
00:25:22.480
As she is explaining, uh, to, uh, to Peter Doocy, uh, well, I'll just let you listen to the question and her answer.
00:25:39.960
Americans are now spending $5,000 a year on gasoline.
00:25:45.960
Where are people supposed to go to get all that extra cash?
00:25:51.760
Well, I mean, one of the things that we've been very clear about is to do everything in our power, uh, to make sure, uh, that we lower cost.
00:26:01.560
The president understands what the American people is, uh, is going through.
00:26:05.620
Uh, and that's why, uh, we're doing everything that we can.
00:26:08.640
We've made, uh, multiple announcements in the past, uh, several, several months of what we're doing, whether it's the strategic, uh, petroleum reserve, whether it's the ethanol 15, to make sure that, uh, that, uh, that the American people are not feeling Putin's, uh, price hike.
00:26:24.540
This is where this is coming from, 60 to 70 percent of the current price hike that we have seen has come from Putin's aggression against Ukraine.
00:26:32.540
So the president announces on March 31st that he's got all these steps to lower gas prices, and it's still Putin's fault seven weeks later.
00:26:40.980
Well, because what I'm saying is since the war, since Putin's war, aggression against Ukraine started back in February, we did see a spike.
00:26:49.520
But before then it had, uh, the price, uh, the, the, the, the price per, per gallon had fallen down about 10 cents or more.
00:27:02.240
This, this, this press secretary, she has no concept, obviously of anything she's talking about.
00:27:11.100
Well, in her defense, uh, you know, I don't think she's that bright.
00:27:19.740
And, uh, I remember her first day she came out and she said, I'm an immigrant.
00:27:27.160
Who asked you, uh, outside of that, it's checking four boxes or five boxes to get the job.
00:27:32.660
I just don't think she has any skill at this, uh, nice personality.
00:27:43.040
Well, you know, I think you're, I think you're exactly right.
00:27:45.480
And, and I don't mean to be too, uh, critical of her for not knowing what she's talking about.
00:27:52.140
She's only the press secretary, but listen as Brian Deese, senior white house advisor,
00:27:59.340
who is supposed to know something respond, uh, on the issue of inflation.
00:28:05.900
Well, when it comes to inflation, what the consumer arguably feels the most outside of
00:28:12.980
And the U S has released oil from the SPR that hasn't had an effect really on gasoline
00:28:19.240
You're continuing to see some of those older refineries shut down.
00:28:28.360
And then you're right that the war in Ukraine, uh, has had the impact of not only taking the
00:28:33.880
supply of Russian oil off of the market, but also reducing global refining capacity.
00:28:39.020
I would say that the release of the strategic petroleum reserve and galvanizing others to
00:28:43.040
release, I think certainly has had an impact on blunting, uh, the price run up in oil.
00:28:47.800
Uh, we do have real tightness in refinery capacity.
00:28:51.360
Part of that is here in the United States, the private sector, uh, shuttered and, and
00:28:56.000
took down a lot of refinery capacity last year.
00:28:58.580
And so, uh, we're, we're, we're needing them to build that back up.
00:29:02.960
Uh, but the thing that we can do right now is focus on both.
00:29:07.420
It's important to continue to focus on how to increase supply of oil, uh, but also particularly
00:29:14.460
Uh, with that, uh, your reaction to the people who do know what they're talking about supposedly.
00:29:21.360
I hate to go back to the corrupt media, but it's therefore the whole democratic world
00:29:26.540
now by demonstration, it's based on gimmicks, strategic petroleum reserve.
00:29:32.180
The media should have been all over that, that night saying this only helps for about 12
00:29:36.440
It only makes a difference for one day and that's it.
00:29:39.620
It was, and we'd love to go to electric cars in 10, 20 years when you get it perfected,
00:29:45.160
Uh, also you could bring the price down immediately.
00:29:48.140
Just turn the spigots back on and start drilling.
00:29:50.560
I mean, I believe this is the only country that could produce all the oil it needs and
00:29:59.160
Uh, and they also never point out what these electric cars, the batteries run off minerals
00:30:07.400
When we're all on electric cars, you're going to have to strip mine the entire earth to get
00:30:14.760
And, and now trying to recycle lithium, uh, necessary, uh, element, uh, it's a, just one nightmare
00:30:25.040
I'm all for the market, uh, first and foremost to work because the last thing we want, uh,
00:30:31.580
is, uh, the mentally impaired, uh, the ignorant, uh, and the inept, uh, in the Biden administration,
00:30:38.680
deciding what will win, uh, who will win, uh, and who will lose, uh, it's just appalling.
00:30:47.020
I want to compliment you again on your call, uh, on, uh, Elon Musk.
00:30:51.480
Uh, he is, uh, you know, he is a great American, uh, and for him to have to put up with a quote
00:30:57.760
unquote Trump treatment as you put it and correctly predicted is just, uh, disgusting, just as
00:31:04.740
disgusting, uh, as what president Trump had to face, uh, as always, we give our guests
00:31:10.820
the last word, uh, you're concluding thoughts, Mark.
00:31:16.020
Jeff Bezos has had enough of this, uh, democratic stuff in this administration.
00:31:19.840
And he starts to take the Washington post back to being a real newspaper and exposing
00:31:27.320
I am pulling for you on this prediction to be just right as rain.
00:31:31.640
Wouldn't that be an extraordinary, uh, tectonic shift in media for that to occur?
00:31:39.200
Uh, it would, it would be liberating for America because others would have to follow,
00:31:46.260
If it moved in that direction, uh, it would be great.
00:31:51.900
You're a great prognosticator, a prophet as it were.
00:31:57.440
Always share your wisdom, your wit and, uh, take good care of my friend.
00:32:04.800
Thanks for being with us, everybody here tomorrow.
00:32:07.000
We'll be talking with Congressman Byron Donalds, who is asking the question of textbook publishers.
00:32:12.920
Why are you putting critical race theory in your textbooks?
00:32:16.900
And why on earth would they put CRT in a math textbook?
00:32:21.200
They are incredibly trying to indoctrinate our young students.
00:32:25.260
And they're trying to keep their efforts cloaked from public view,
00:32:28.800
especially from parents of those young students.
00:32:35.560
Till then, God bless you, and God bless America.
