The Great America Show - AMERICA’S BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE CORRUPT MEDIA SAYS MARK SIMONE

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? 0.93

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 0.99

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. 0.98

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 1.00

00:10:15.120 everybody else is. Meanwhile, the guy has got the most, uh, bulletproof bank in the, in the world 1.00

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 0.90

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 1.00

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. 1.00

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 0.62

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

00:21:41.700 world of order. Here it is.

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...

00:22:32.160 I can't take any more.

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.

00:22:47.920 This man has all of you in this room.

00:22:52.720 We will go to war and you will love it.

00:22:55.220 Yeah.

00:22:55.800 It's, uh, it's incredible.

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.

00:23:49.580 Your thoughts. 0.99

00:23:50.900 And well, and you know, and also they dump these dumb things. 0.84

00:23:53.980 They do like a two days of it is climate change, fighting climate change. 0.91

00:23:57.340 And you go to the runway, uh, 10 feet away.

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?

00:24:08.700 It's about 30 years, 30 years.

00:24:10.380 They've never changed anything, influenced anything, done anything except, uh, open up our borders and, uh, destroy economies, 0.93

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.

00:24:41.580 There's one plane per big shot, right?

00:24:45.420 The rest of us have to plane pool.

00:24:48.360 And isn't that terrible?

00:24:49.840 I mean, that's just, that's not egalitarian.

00:24:52.240 Is it?

00:24:53.040 No, you get these, you know, Mike Bloomberg, I've counted this up.

00:24:55.440 He has two planes, a helicopter.

00:24:57.140 He's got six boats.

00:24:58.260 He's got 42 cars.

00:24:59.540 He's got 11 houses, but you should take the bus to conserve.

00:25:03.800 Oh yes.

00:25:04.700 There's no doubt about it.

00:25:06.380 And, uh, class swab.

00:25:08.040 He, he is acting on somebody else's orders.

00:25:11.860 There's no doubt about it.

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.

00:25:32.740 And you tell me why, why is she there?

00:25:36.840 And then, final question on gas prices.

00:25:39.960 Americans are now spending $5,000 a year on gasoline.

00:25:43.260 That's almost double what they did a year ago.

00:25:45.960 Where are people supposed to go to get all that extra cash?

00:25:49.220 To get the extra cash to pay for gas?

00:25:51.240 Yeah.

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.

00:25:59.340 Uh, you know, it is important.

00:26:01.080 We see it.

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. 0.52

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.

00:26:57.760 I mean, it's felt 10 cents a gallon.

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.

00:27:14.300 I don't think Jen Psaki knew she was lying.

00:27:16.200 I think this woman doesn't know she's lying.

00:27:17.860 They wrote it up and she's reading it.

00:27:19.740 And, uh, I remember her first day she came out and she said, I'm an immigrant.

00:27:23.400 I'm gay.

00:27:23.880 I'm a woman.

00:27:24.600 I'm this.

00:27:25.160 I mean, well, great.

00:27:26.040 That's wonderful.

00:27:26.600 Who cares?

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.

00:27:36.780 And, uh, she's like Biden.

00:27:38.120 You put an index card in front of her.

00:27:39.640 She'll read it.

00:27:40.260 It doesn't matter if it's true or not true.

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

00:28:11.100 the grocery store is gasoline prices.

00:28:12.980 And the U S has released oil from the SPR that hasn't had an effect really on gasoline

00:28:18.760 prices.

00:28:19.240 You're continuing to see some of those older refineries shut down.

00:28:22.960 How do you increase refinery capacity?

00:28:27.080 Well, it's a great question.

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.

00:29:06.240 How can we increase supply?

00:29:07.420 It's important to continue to focus on how to increase supply of oil, uh, but also particularly

00:29:12.160 in this refined product environment.

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.

00:29:30.820 We released a million gallons.

00:29:32.180 The media should have been all over that, that night saying this only helps for about 12

00:29:36.100 hours.

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,

00:29:44.100 we'll switch over.

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

00:29:55.840 doesn't, it goes around begging.

00:29:59.160 Uh, and they also never point out what these electric cars, the batteries run off minerals

00:30:05.060 that you got to mine out of the ground.

00:30:07.400 When we're all on electric cars, you're going to have to strip mine the entire earth to get

00:30:10.940 enough minerals out for these batteries.

00:30:13.040 It's probably worse than drilling is.

00:30:14.760 And, and now trying to recycle lithium, uh, necessary, uh, element, uh, it's a, just one nightmare

00:30:22.660 after another.

00:30:23.360 I'm all for electric cars.

00:30:25.040 I'm all for the market, uh, first and foremost to work because the last thing we want, uh, 0.96

00:30:31.580 is, uh, the mentally impaired, uh, the ignorant, uh, and the inept, uh, in the Biden administration, 0.96

00:30:38.680 deciding what will win, uh, who will win, uh, and who will lose, uh, it's just appalling. 0.99

00:30:45.740 Mark, you're great.

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.

00:31:14.420 Uh, just remember my new prediction.

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

00:31:25.000 some of this in the next few months.

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,

00:31:44.160 uh, the Washington post.

00:31:46.260 If it moved in that direction, uh, it would be great.

00:31:49.840 Mark, you're a great American.

00:31:51.900 You're a great prognosticator, a prophet as it were.

00:31:55.480 And we appreciate you being with us.

00:31:57.440 Always share your wisdom, your wit and, uh, take good care of my friend.

00:32:02.360 Thanks for having me.

00:32:03.160 Thanks.

00:32:03.480 God bless you.

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.

00:32:31.920 Please join us here tomorrow.

00:32:33.460 Congressman Byron Donalds, our guest.

00:32:35.560 Till then, God bless you, and God bless America.
