YES, there is a DIESEL FUEL CRISIS & it was done on purpose by BIDEN & his green religion fanatics, in his White House! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There are some crisises in America and in the world
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: that are unavoidable, and there are some crisises that are
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: absolutely avoidable. There are some crisises that happen that are
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: actually created by the government. There are others that are not.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: An example of a crisis that is unavoidable would be
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: like nine to eleven, for example. Yes, we had intelligence looking,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: but it was still very hard to stop that attack.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: We learn from it. Then there's another crisis right now
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: that we are about to experience, one that we're actually
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: in the middle of that is totally avoidable, and there
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: have been warning signs. This crisis is also a crisis
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that is one hundred percent a crisis that has been
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: created by our government, specifically the Biden administration. It is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the diesel fuel disaster. Truckers are now working for peanuts
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: amid surging gas prices, and many of this small independent
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: truckers are saying they're gonna have to shut it down.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Why is there a diesel shortage? These are just one
• 1:08

• 1:31

  Speaker 1: code Ben. Now. CNBC has a headline the diesel market
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is in a perfect storm as prices surge and supply dwindles. Now,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: let's just start with that one. Why are the prices surging?
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: And it's a very simple response. A supply has dwindled
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: because of American policy and other policies around the world.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: There's also a supply chain issue that deals specifically with
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: the winter months. You see, in the winter months, diesel
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: is used more. Now, diesel prices have increased thirty three
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: percent for November deliveries and are expected to go now
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: even higher. All of this because of the Biden administration.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Diesel supply in the Northeast, The drought stricken Mississippi River
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and a potential rail strike are also contributing to higher
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: fuel demand, which calls for federal government intervention to increase
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: supply that the Biden administration has made clear they will
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: not do. We also have a problem with our diesel reserves.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: They have not been as low as they are right
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: now since nineteen fifty one. This, on top of a
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: ban on Russian products set for next year, will intensify
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: competition for the fuel. The Department of Home Insecurity also
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: tells CNBC that Jones Act waiver is required for foreign
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: tankers are reviewed on a case by case basis, showing
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: just how bad things are right now when it comes
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to our government's mismanagement. Now, I want to make it clear,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I don't believe that this is government mismanagement. This is
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: all being done by design to force you into all
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: tournament green energy. This is part of the Biden administration's objective.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: This didn't happened by accent. This was done on purpose.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: This perfect storm is something that was created by them.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Now it's coming into fruition. I don't believe by the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: way that they thought it was going to end or
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: happened before the midterms. I think they thought it would
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: happen after the midterms. This is part of the reason
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: why there's a problem now. I want you to take
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a listen to what they had to say about this
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: perfect storm on the NBC. Pretty much. I mean, you've
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: got this three point store, but you just like talked
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: about so what happens here and why it's such a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: problem is that we have an acute diesel supplies in
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the Northeast, and so when you have the drought strick
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: in Mississippi and then you have the possibility of a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: rail strike, all of this then moves all of the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: if you will to trade to the rails, which then
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: contributes to the higher prices. And diesel inventories, as you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: pointed out, are the lowest since nineteen fifty one, and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: the greatest shortfall is here in the Northeast, including New
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: York and New Jersey. Yeah, the Northeast, Let's be honest, Laura,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and the Northeast, we're always the short end of the stick.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, because we're at the end of the stick.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: There's no pipelines, refineries aren't coming online. Correct, So now
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: we look the ships. You did just get some comments
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: moments ago from the Department of Homeland Security about the
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Jones Act. What can you tell us? Sure, So, folks
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: that don't know what the Jones Act is, it pretty
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: much prohibits a foreign vessel to go from one US
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: port to another US port. And so the Homeland Security
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: they said that they would only grant a waiver if
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the Jones to the Jones Act if the proposed shipments
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: are in the interests of national defense and after CAFO
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: valuation of an issue. Under the law, waivers that do
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: not meet the standard must be reviewed by a case
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: by case basis, meaning that a individual tanker would have
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to approach the Department of Homeland Security to see if
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: they would be allowed to move that critical fuel. Yeah,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: that would be an interesting development if that Jones Act,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: which a lot of people call outdated, but then we
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: also still need a US maritime industry. Laura and Laroco,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: thank you very much. Important. I mean, this is CNBC
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: really getting down in the minutia this and the diesel
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: market is they're saying a perfect storm for this price search.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: You've got the supply dwindling ahead of the winter months,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: you have the world reacting to this, you have what's
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: happening in Russia, and we didn't do anything to change. Now,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this is the part where I want you to understand.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: This is all these price increases you're seeing of this five, six, seven,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: eight dollar gallon diesel around the country, depending on where
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you are. None of this happened by accident. Okay, Democrats
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: were not asleep at the wheel. They knew that this
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: was happening, and they didn't do anything to change it.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Their policies towards Russia, for example, were policies that they
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: knew we're going to have a supply chain issue down
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the road immediately. Since it was their policy right on embargoes,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: they should have immediately opped production and made it easier
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: for production the United States of America. They did not
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: do that because they knew this was going to happen. Now,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: this also comes as the White House is now focused
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: on a windfall tax, and this morning CNBC came out
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and they actually mocked the President of the United States
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: of America by saying this, I think we're heading towards
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: a recession. I think that labor seems to have the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: upper hand. We have terrible leadership out of Washington. Terrible leadership.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I mean this idea, but with full preface text. How
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: do you get increased production? They would send the President
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Biden to school to learn a little bit about economics.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: They need to send President Biden to school to learn
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a little bit about economics. Wow, And this is on CNBC.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: This is part of the shock of CNBC right now,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: because there's no other way to get around this. And
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: I think they understand that this is so bad now
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you can't keep carrying weight for Joe Biden and the Democrats. Now,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: this is all not a mistake. This is done on purpose.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: This is a perfect storm that was created on purpose.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Go to oil prices dot com, the number one source
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: for oil and energy news. They have a new headline
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: right now that says this, the US diesel shortage is worsening.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: That's right, the US diesel shortage is worsening. As inventories
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: crashed to multi year lows. US refiners permanently shut down
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: some refinery capacity at the start of the pandemic when
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: fuel demand plunged, and the government did not advocate for
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: putting that back online. Then you add a diesel shortage
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and high diesel prices don't bode well for the global economy,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: which could tip us into a bigger recession at some
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: point quote next year. The article goes on to say
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: multi year low inventories and constraints on supply or exacerbating
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a diesel shortage in the United States, especially on the
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: East Coast. Diesel demand continues to be strong after recovering
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: fast from the pandemic slump. That other fuels such as
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: gasoline has not actually been a strong meaning unleaded to
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: deplete US inventories, which include diesel and heating oil ahead
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: of the winter months. They say the fuel crunch is worsening. Quote.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: US refining capacity is now lower than it was before
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: covid as operable refinery capacity shrank in twenty twenty one
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: for a second consecutive year. We now stand at seventeen
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: point nine million barrels per calendar day as of January one,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. That is what the government estimate state.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: US refiners permanently shut down some refinery capacity at the
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: start of the pandemic when fuel demand completely plummeted, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: others closed facilities to convert them into biofuel refineries because
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of government mandates and or government incentives. Some refineries were
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: under maintenance as autumn, reducing the availability of product. In addition,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: the US banned imports listened carefully of all Russian energy
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: products after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and it hasn't
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: imported any petroleum products from Russia since April. Now, this
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: is part of the policy that you need to understand.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration knew that when they banned the import
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: of Russian oil that it would have a supply chain impact.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: They did not a single thing to make sure that
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: that supply chain impact was somehow fixed. They didn't have
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a single policy that they chose to change and or alter,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: not a single policy. Why because they didn't mind you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: paying this much for diesel because they hate petroleum products.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: But before I get into that part of the story,
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I want to tell you a little bit about my
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: good friends over at Patriot Mobile. If you are ready
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to have an impact every time that you use your phone,

  Speaker 1: actually fight for conservative causes while saving you money. Now
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: this isn't any extra ad onto your bill. They take
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: a portion of your bill every month and they give
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: it back to fund conservative causes in Canada, to believe
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: in the sanctity of life, freedom of speech, and the
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: Second Amendment, and they are winning Patriot Mobile has now
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: been attacked by the big media. Big Tech is now
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: coming after them, and that's why I want you to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: support them. If you want an affordable plan and you

• 13:21
  Speaker 1: seven to Patriot check them out. There are many that
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: are gonna say, well, hold on a second. The Democrats
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: couldn't have known that this was coming, that diesel prices
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: were going to skyrocket, that this isn't somehow a part
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: of their policies coming to fruition. And I'm going to
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: prove that that line right now is total crap and
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you should never ever believe it. Let me give you
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: an example. All the way back on five eleven of
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, okay, last year, in the summer of
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: last year, more than a year ago, there were already
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: warning signs of the Biden administration policies. This is before
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Russia invaded Ukraine. There were warning signs of the green
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: alternative energy religion they were pushing and what it was
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: going to do to you at the pump. In fact,
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: it was documented on Tucker Carlson's show. We went back
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: and found the clip again from five eleven of twenty
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: twenty one, more than a year ago. Listen carefully in
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: engines that we have used for more than a hundred years.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: This is a green revolution. So who cares about some
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: old pipeline. Remember that on his first day in office,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden shut down a pipeline. That's the first thing
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: he did. It was the massive Keystone XL pipeline. Joe
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Biden didn't wait for mysterious hackers to shut it down.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: He shut it down himself and more than eleven thousand
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: people lost their jobs. And by the way, gas prices
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: went up. In case you have a notice, gas prices
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: have never gone down. In the state of California, the
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: average price of a gallon of gasoline is over four bucks.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: A year ago, it was two seventy. In Illinois, gases
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: three dollars and twenty cents a gallon. Last year it
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: was two. It's not just two big liberal states, it's
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: the entire country. In Texas, gas prices are averaging two
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: dollars and seventy cents a gallon. Last year it was
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: a dollar fifty. In the state of Maine, the average
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: price of gas is almost three dollars a year ago
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: was under two, and so on. Nationally, Americans are paying
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: about forty five billion dollars more for gasoline overall than
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: they were last year. This, by the way, was last year.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: This analysis right now, and this was titled the Inflation Threat.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: Gas prices are only getting higher, is what it says
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: on the screen. Tucker is warning you on five eleven
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, the same way that I did
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: on this show, that gas prices were going up, and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: all of this was being done on purpose. All of
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: this was the actual policies of the Biden administration. This
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: was before Ukraine Russia War and Russia invading. This was
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: before all of these economic events that have happened around
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: the world, and even then many economists were warning it
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: was bad policies that were causing the prices to go up.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: And then they were saying, this will be a threat
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: to inflation going up. And now where are we. Inflation
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: has happened. We are in a recession and you're playing
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: five dollars, six dollars, seven eight dollars for diesel and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: four to five dollars a gallon, and that's going to
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: skyrocket after the election. For unlet a gasoline because we
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: are artificially lowering the price by releasing strategical reserves every
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: single day. That will end after the election. We know
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that the Biden administration has already set it. So what
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: does suckers say next? Listen bye. This is the result
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: of policy decisions made by the new administration. This is
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the Green New Deal. We've got it already. And if
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: you love gas shortages and electricity blackouts, no air conditioning,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: eighty dollars plywood, this is the program for you. Tomorrow,
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: the Administration's Bureau of Labor Statistics will release the new
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: official numbers on inflation in America. You should know that
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a key part of that statistic is called the consumer
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: price index, and the consumer price index measures the prices
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: of a carefully cure curated selection of goods and services.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: And if tomorrow's consumer price index number is flat, rest assured.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: The people on TV will tell you it is proof
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: that inflation isn't real. Should you believe them? Well, before
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: you take their word, take note of what is not
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: included in the official consumer price index lumber, for example,
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: because no one in America buys building materials, so you
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: should definitely ignore this. In a recent study by Fortune
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: dot com, the average price of lumber is now two
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: hundred eighty percent higher than what it was pre pandemic,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: which is causing the cost of construction to also increase
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: thirty to forty percent. In assatement from the Division President
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: for Homes by Town, Jeff Peenstein, he says, for a
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: typical fifteen hundred square foot home, just rough lumber used
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: for framing has increased from fourteenth thousand dollars per home
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to twenty nine thousand. Again, this was from five eleven
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. All of this was done on purpose.
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: So now here we are, we're at the moment right
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: where this is coming to fruition and what are we
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: seeing right now? The price of gas is skyrocketing. Truckers
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: are now reacting to the scorching diesel prices under Joe Biden,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: which was all done on purpose. None of this was
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: an accident. Local news media are now getting in on this.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Listen carefully to a truck driver, Curtis Barr on a
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: local TV station explaining how bad things are for him
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: right now. Diesel prices are making it much much harder
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: for truckers to make a living. It's crushing a little
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: bit this morning. That is the highs that ever been.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: I've pumped it for like six nineteen, the smallness before
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I can do a whole week for nine hundred, nine
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty. Now I do in two to twenty
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: two dollars a week between Monday and Friday. This is
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: getting harder and harder and harder every month. Jamison Mendoza

  Speaker 1: is a five year truck driver from a Veto. He
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: said us some photos of his truck as he stopped
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: briefly in Georgia to speak with us about the hardship
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: of fuel prices, like my house payment, my car payment,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: my personal insurance food bills in the house, is putting
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: in behind on a lot of things and a lot
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: of plans that I had in my future because of
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the fuel price skyrocketing really hot, putting on a pressure
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: on the little guys because the fuel prices are so high.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: When local media is covering this, that's when you know
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: there's an issue in EC news on the Today finally
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: covering the problem about not just the recession concerns amid
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: high inflation, but the gas prices and diesel. They finally
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: put it on the air saying this this morning, America
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: seems trapped in a vortex of bad economic news. By
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the way, if a kans are trapped in a void
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: tex of bad economic news, as NBC News said it,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: why would you not start the segment off by telling
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: you the honest truth. Why wouldn't you start that segment
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: off by saying, because of the Biden administrations policies on
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: oil and gas, Americans are stuck in a vortex of
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: bad economic news. Why wouldn't you just be honest and
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: say that, Because of course they can't do that ahead
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: of the midturns, but they will admit things are bad.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Sky high food prices, pump prices at record levels, soaring
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: rents of sixteen percent in one year, COVID lockdowns in China,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the world's manufacturing center, choking the global supply chain, US
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: corporate profits, sinking Russian oil under partial embargo, Ukrainian wheat
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: exports at a standstill, and all of it feeding forty
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: year high inflation that Americans are paying for every day
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: on the front lines, shippers and truck drivers with diesel
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: fuel prices of seventy five percent in one year. In Indiana,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: Shelley come Away is a full time truck driver who
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: also runs a charity to rush supplies to those Indeed,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: we were looking at possibly our trailers in the truck. True,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: but we will be able to afford to the tires
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: on it. All of it sending the stock market lower,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the SMP down eighteen percent so far this year, the
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: nastack down a stunning twenty seven percent. Stocks are lower,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: retirement accounts are lower. Recession is here, Inflation through the roof,
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: And not one time did you hear in them them
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: mention anything. Not one time did they mention anything about
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: who's to blame. They're telling you the story without telling
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: you the story. ABC News also coming out today talking
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: about gas prices. Finally, on Good Morning America. When we
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: talk about rising in fuel prices, we're often talking about gasoline,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: what we pay at the pump that today is averaging
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: four dollars nineteen cents a gallon. But when you look
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: at diesel prices diesel fuel, they hit a new record
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: high just this morning, five dollars thirty two cents a gallon.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: And diesel is incredibly important to the economy. It's known
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: as the fuel that moves the economy because it's the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: fuel that most the trucks use that are on the
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: street cross the country. They're the things that are carrying
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: your groceries, your diapers, your necessities. And when the cost
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: for those truckers go up, all the costs go up
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: on these various items that we are so reliant on
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: as Americans truckers. At some point, don't you connect this
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: to the policies? Isn't that what you're supposed to do?
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Right now, truckers are hit hard. Is diesel gas prices
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: five dollars a gallon in Metro Detroit. They're talking about
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: in Detroit now in Detroit, Tellberal fitting soaring diesel prices
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: are just the latest speed bump. I'm gonna have to
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: stop it at four hundred because I can't even feel
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: my whole tanks up and I got one hundred and
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: fifty gallon tanks on each side. Rudy has been a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: truck driver for nearly two decades. He's never seen prices
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: this high. The big question is how will these prices
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: impact you the consumer. Independent truckers like Rudy and trucking
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: companies will be passing the higher costs of the fuel
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: to the companies they're contracted four He drives six hundred
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: miles plus per day, and that means every run I run,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to pay every time that I take
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: a run. And just to break even, Rudy is pinching
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: pennies and picking up more hauls. There's gonna be kind
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of hard to feed your family if you don't have
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of loads, because you got to think about it.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: I still got bills to pay at home. I still
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: got to feed my family. And if I'm not making
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: no money in my truck, then I'm done. I'm done.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: That is the Biden economy. This is why this midterm
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: election is so important. This is also why this midterm
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: election I think is moving in the direction that it is.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: Even in New York City right now, or I should
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: say New York State, we are seeing a Republican looks
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: like they could be leading in that governor's race. All right,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: but first let me tell you real quick about my
• 24:19

• 25:41
  Speaker 1: very interesting is happening on this issue of crime. Look
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: at New York. New York Latino grocers have come together
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: leaving the Democratic Party, and not just leaving the Democratic Party,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: but actually raising seventy thousand dollars for the Republican governor
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Governororo can at Zelden. After history of voting for Democrats
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: for decades, a coalition of mainly Latino supermarket owners in
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: New York City are done with a Democratic Party. This
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: because their stores are getting robbed all the time. Why
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: because if you steal less than a thousand dollars worth
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: of groceries or shoplift for things, or less a thousand dollars,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: you will not go to jail. This is bail reform,
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: prison reform, right. This is the part of the defund
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: the police movement. So this coalition of mom and pop
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: grocery stores has raised now more than seventy thousand dollars
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: to back the Republican candidate Zelden as the election is approaching.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: The New York Post reporting on how amazing this is,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: they say seventy small business owners. These entrepreneurs operating supermarkets
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: including Foodtown, Fine Fare and Met Foods, are each giving
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: a thousand dollars to the Zelden campaign. During a funer
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: in Queen's Last Night, the congressman who's now running for
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: governor is vowed to go hard against criminals who target grocers.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: It is a message that has not fallen on deaf ears.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: The leader of the government relation for the National Supermarket
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Association said that those in the supermarkets in New York
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: have been hit the hardest. And these are Hispanic supermarket
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: owners who have previously voted and backed and supported Democrats solely.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: They become very well weary, they say, of the situation,
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: and they are demanding results. Quote. We are frustrated. I'm
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: tired of Democrats saying that bail reform has not affected
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: crime negatively. This is a Democrat, Carlos Colado, who owns
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: a pair of supermarkets in the Bronx. He went on
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: to say, we are seeing a different reality on the ground.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Social media users have also reacted to this big story.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: One person bless those that have given, as well as
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: those who want to but are maybe running short. This month,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Latinos and all New Yorkers want safety in their neighborhoods.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: They don't want to just feel safe, quote unquote, as
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: the current New York governor said, they want to actually
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: all caps be safe. New York is having a problem
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: right now because criminals have understood the new rules allow
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: them to do whatever it is they want to do.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: This is also becoming an issue nationwide. This morning, NBC
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: News telling the truth about the poll numbers. Right now,
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the top issue is not abortion, it's the economy and crime.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: Listen carefully, this is new from Gallup. They ask folks
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: the issues they consider the most important, very important, and
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: you see the economy tops of abortion, saggan, crime, gun policy, immigration.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Then you ask folks who say these are the most
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: important issues to them how they intend to vote. And
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I think this is interesting too, because look at this.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: On all but one of these topics, Republicans have an advantage.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: By the way, let me explain how big of an advantage.
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: It is the twenty twenty two election. Top issues. The
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: economy right now is number one. Forty nine percent of
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: voters say that's their top issue. Of those that identify
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: the economy is number one. The Republicans have a thirty
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: one point lead, and they say fixing the economy on abortion,
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: that is the only issue where Democrats actually are winning.
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: On crime forty percent of voters, so that's their top issue,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: twenty eight percent lead for Republicans in that category, Gun
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: policies even thirty eight percent of voters, so that was
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: an important issue for Republicans have a lead on that
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: issue with five percent advantage, and on immigration thirty seven percent,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: So that's their top issue and who's going to fix it?
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Republicans have a thirty three point lead. The only issue
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: where abortion is the issue of abortion where to makes sense,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: right because Democrats want abortions, Republicans don't, so it naturally
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: they would be leading on that issue after rov Wade.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: But listen the second part of what they had to
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: say on NBC News. Three of them the economy, crime, immigration,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Republicans have massive advantages over Democrats. So when you look
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: at this issue set, you look at how these voters
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: are breaking along these issues. You see what looks like
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: a significant Republican advantage. But again you go back to
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: that generic ballot and this is not right now looking
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: like a runaway in the polls for Republicans. Republicans, of course,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: the Democrats there on NBC News trying to say, well,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: it still doesn't look like a runaway. It is. New
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Jersey Governor Murphy, by the way, has come out attacking Republicans,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: saying that it is the crime. Playing the crime card
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: is shameless and that it is fatiguing to voters. He's wrong,
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: But this is this closing argument to the Democrats, which
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: is exactly why I believe we're going to have a
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: very big red wave on election day vote this year.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Let's bring in the Democratic governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, Governor,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: thank you very much for being on. Do Democrats have
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: a hold on the crime narrative or are they having
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: trouble getting the message out? Make It's good to be
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: back with you. And as if I needed it, that
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: prior conversation depressed me even more so, as you also
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: mentioned Metz, I just have to get this off my chest.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: He's a resident of Bergen County, New Jersey, not of Pennsylvania. Listen,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: the other guys play the crime card relentlessly and shame shamelessly,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: it seems every election, and the facts and their portrayal
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: of the facts are in entirely different places. That doesn't
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: mean that crime is not an issue. It doesn't mean
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: that we're not focused on it. But we'll just say
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey this year, violent crimes, shooting, homicides are
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: all down meaningfully, between something like fifteen and thirty percent.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: We invest deeply, not just here, but as a party
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: in the relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: We invest in law enforcement. So they're really good at
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: playing the card. It reminds me, frankly, it goes back
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: to Nixon's Southern strategy. It's got racial elements to it.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Let's just call that for what it is. And here
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: we go again. It feels like it's a movie that
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: we've seen time and time again and they're pulling that
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: card out again this time. I love it. Right, So
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: if you're concerned about crime number one, it's a ratio issue.
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: As he just said, and he said, the GOP playing
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: the crime card relentlessly and shamelessly goes back to the
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: Nixon Southern strategy, a racist strategy, and so you can't
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: vote for these Republicans because if you want to fight crime,
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: well then you're by default a racist. This goes exactly
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: back to what Abram said the other night where she
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: said that the all these evil sheriffs and Georgia, they
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: have not backed her, just want to be able to
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: pull over black people. That's what she said the other night.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: During the actual debate, CNN also said Democrats have a
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: pretty good record on crime, and the Democratic Party should
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: tout that. Show me where I want to know where
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: I fear works. I mean, have Democrats done enough to
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: talk about that. No, I think they've been very They've
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: been caught flat footed on the crime issue, because the
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: crime issue isn't something that's just happening in democratic states.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: In fact, is happening in Republican states. It's happening at
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: very high rates. And Democrats have a pretty good record
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: on crime, and yet they're not talking about it. And
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: they it's in the same way there's a lot of
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: people in this country who believe the Democratic Party supported
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: defund the police and they didn't do right, and they
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: just don't do a good enough job of explaining what
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: they believe, in part because they have a base that
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: you know, has opinions that actually does support defund the police,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: or has different opinions, So they're kind of trying to
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: walk the fine. But I do think that they should
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: have been more aggressive about it because it is something
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: that is a lot of people are very concerned about.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I love this right. Democrats have a pretty good record
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: on crime. Really show me a Democratic run city, a
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: major city in America that is tough on crime. Democrats
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: are in favor of cashless bail. Democrats are in favor
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: of legalizing all drugs. Democrats are in favor of anyone
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: under the age of eighteen never going to prison. Right there,
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: in favor of letting people out quickly. Look at it.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: You can beat a woman in the street, attack a
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: senior citizen and robbed them in New York, and what
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: happens to you, Nothing, Nothing happens to you. You are
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: back down the streets the very next day able to do
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: do the exact same crime. Because of bail reform, if
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: you rob somebody but less than a thousand dollars, you
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: automatically in New York city. Do not go to jail.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: You'll get a court date. You may or may not
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: show up for it, who cares. But they're not going
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: to put you in jail if you go into a
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: store and rob them for under a thousand dollars. This
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: is part of the insanity of the left. And then
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: they come out and they're like, oh no, we're actually
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: really good on crime. If you want to know why
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: there's going to be a red wave, this is why.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: This is exactly why there is going to be a
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: red wave. I believe it because people understand Democrats are
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: weak on criminals, and this is why Republicans need to
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: seize on this issue in the final days of the election.
• 35:32
