Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / DEMS WANT YOU to believe GAS STATION OWNERS, and COVID, are the reasons for your PAIN AT THE PUMP!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So if you've been irritated when you go to the
- 0:03Speaker 1: pump to get gas, you're supposed to be believing that
- 0:07Speaker 1: the person you should hate for the high gas prices
- 0:10Speaker 1: is the evil person that owns the gas station. Right.
- 0:15Speaker 1: They tried that on us this last week, where the
- 0:17Speaker 1: Biden administration is like, you know, they're the ones that
- 0:19Speaker 1: are hurting. You may not realize that the majority of
- 0:21Speaker 1: those gas stations are actually owned like them buy individuals.
- 0:27Speaker 1: They are actually small businesses. You may not realize this,
- 0:30Speaker 1: but they make pennies off of each gallon, like literal
- 0:34Speaker 1: pennies off of each gallon of gas you buy. They
- 0:37Speaker 1: make more money when you come in and buy a
- 0:38Speaker 1: candy bar, more money when you buy a drink, more
- 0:42Speaker 1: money when you buy a lotto ticket, more money when
- 0:45Speaker 1: you buy anything in the convenience store. The gas is
- 0:49Speaker 1: basically the lost leader. Now, the prices and the margins
- 0:53Speaker 1: are so slim at gas stations that many of the
- 0:56Speaker 1: people that own them are furious that they have now
- 0:59Speaker 1: been turned into the bad guy. People are coming in
- 1:02Speaker 1: and saying things. In fact, I was talking to my
- 1:04Speaker 1: producer this morning. He was talking about a guy that
- 1:06Speaker 1: was actually so dumb that on the radio. He actually said,
- 1:10Speaker 1: don't buy drinks from these evil gas stations, and that
- 1:13Speaker 1: will hurt the bottom line of these oil and gas comings,
- 1:16Speaker 1: which is a lie. It will only hurt the small
- 1:18Speaker 1: business owner that owns that gas station. That gas station
- 1:23Speaker 1: also pays for what we refer to as spot pricing.
- 1:27Speaker 1: You notice sometimes the middle of the day, the price
- 1:30Speaker 1: of a gallon of gas at one station will go
- 1:32Speaker 1: up and compare the one across the street. Why is
- 1:34Speaker 1: that because to refill that tank they had to pay
- 1:37Speaker 1: the new price, and when that new gas goes in
- 1:40Speaker 1: at a different price, because it is a commodity, they
- 1:43Speaker 1: instantly have to raise their prices. That's why sometimes you'll
- 1:46Speaker 1: see one gas station be at four dollars and ten
- 1:49Speaker 1: cents and the other one across the street will be
- 1:51Speaker 1: at four seventeen or four twenty two. Many times, that's
- 1:55Speaker 1: exactly why that is happening now. If it isn't, these
- 1:59Speaker 1: gas stations, by the way, would not exist without you
- 2:04Speaker 1: coming into their stores and buying their other products. That's
- 2:07Speaker 1: the reason why you have places like for example, Kroger
- 2:10Speaker 1: and Costco and Sam's Club where they have these filling
- 2:14Speaker 1: stations right where they have nothing else they sell you
- 2:16Speaker 1: but gas. They sell you gas virtually at their costs
- 2:19Speaker 1: as part of your membership benefit. They're not trying to
- 2:23Speaker 1: sell you the other stuff sam business because it's part
- 2:25Speaker 1: it's basically covered under their membership fees that they get
- 2:29Speaker 1: from you. That's how little margins there actually are. Now,
- 2:33Speaker 1: before I get into anymore the insanity of these people
- 2:36Speaker 1: on the left, I want to tell you real quick
- 2:38Speaker 1: about Legacy precious metals. You know what's happening with inflation,
- 2:41Speaker 1: you know what's happening with people now talking about the
- 2:43Speaker 1: idea of recession. You know what's happening with supply chain issues,
- 2:46Speaker 1: and you know what's been happening with your retirement account.
- 2:49Speaker 1: If you are not diversified with part of your financial
- 2:53Speaker 1: strategy involving precious metals, now is a time to call
- 2:57Speaker 1: the people that I use and trust Legacy Precious Metal.
- 3:00Speaker 1: You can get the free investors guide on gold and silver,
- 3:05Speaker 1: precious metal investing and how to diversify your portfolio. We
- 3:10Speaker 1: have seen that they want to raise taxes. We are
- 3:13Speaker 1: seeing as skyrocketing of our national debt. And if your
- 3:16Speaker 1: retirement is in only investments that are directly connected the market.
- 3:20Speaker 1: You need to take a look at Legacy Precious Metals.

- 3:34Speaker 1: That's one eight six six seven five one twenty two eighteen,
- 3:40Speaker 1: or online at Legacy PM Investments. It's Legacy PM investments
- 3:45Speaker 1: dot com. Now, the Biden administration is also saying that
- 3:49Speaker 1: they're trying to help you right now, and they're doing
- 3:51Speaker 1: it by what they keep touting is releasing an amount
- 3:56Speaker 1: of from our USO reserves that is unprecedented. Is it
- 4:00Speaker 1: actually helping lower the price of gas? Is it actually
- 4:03Speaker 1: helping lower your cost at the pump? Well, guess what,
- 4:09Speaker 1: the gas is not staying in America. In fact, the
- 4:12Speaker 1: White House is lying to you now or they're really
- 4:14Speaker 1: this stupid when they were asked a question about our
- 4:17Speaker 1: oil reserves being released and they're actually being sent to China,
- 4:23Speaker 1: not helping you out in the United States of America
- 4:25Speaker 1: because it's a global market. This is also part of
- 4:28Speaker 1: the lies or the stupidity of this administration. White House
- 4:32Speaker 1: Press Secretary Jim Breyer was asked about this, and her
- 4:37Speaker 1: question that she was asked not a trick question. Just like, Hey,
- 4:40Speaker 1: you guys keep touting you're releasing all these old reserves,
- 4:43Speaker 1: but did you know that that oil is actually from
- 4:45Speaker 1: the US old reserves. It's not staying in the US,
- 4:47Speaker 1: it's actually being sent to China. Her response, We had
- 4:50Speaker 1: no idea. Listen, and there's a Reuters report this morning
- 4:55Speaker 1: that says that more than five million barrels of oil
- 4:57Speaker 1: that were released from the emergency of oil were worded
- 5:02Speaker 1: to Europe and Asia last month, and some of it
- 5:05Speaker 1: importedly was actually heading to China. Is the administration aware
- 5:09Speaker 1: of those reports and because the President of mine to
- 5:14Speaker 1: the some of them, this oil that was meant to
- 5:16Speaker 1: ease paying for consumers as headed overseas. But by the way,
- 5:19Speaker 1: I want you to imagine the incompetency of this administration.
- 5:23Speaker 1: It's either incompetency or they're doing it on purpose, trying
- 5:25Speaker 1: to have it both ways. There's two options here with
- 5:27Speaker 1: the scenario that you just heard. Number one, okay, is
- 5:32Speaker 1: that they know that this gas, this oil is being
- 5:35Speaker 1: sent overseas to Europe and to China, and they're okay
- 5:39Speaker 1: with it because they need the price of gas stay
- 5:41Speaker 1: high so that you'll be forced into their green religion
- 5:44Speaker 1: and submit to their green religion. That's that's option number one,
- 5:49Speaker 1: number two. And there is a very decent chance that
- 5:53Speaker 1: the Energy Secretary and the transtation secretary are actually this stupid,
- 5:58Speaker 1: right that that you're actually this dumb, or that they're
- 6:03Speaker 1: this time I should say that they are this incompetent,
- 6:06Speaker 1: They are this stupid to not understand that this is
- 6:11Speaker 1: a global market and did not understand they should have said,
- 6:14Speaker 1: made sure that all of this actually stays in the US, right,
- 6:18Speaker 1: that all of this stay, all of it stays in
- 6:21Speaker 1: America to help our prices. Now, the White House has
- 6:25Speaker 1: a response for you. The response will not impress you.
- 6:30Speaker 1: I have not seen that report, so I would honestly
- 6:32Speaker 1: have to go look into it and see what the
- 6:36Speaker 1: truth is in that statement that you just laid out
- 6:39Speaker 1: and see exactly what's happening. I just have not seen
- 6:41Speaker 1: that report. Now I have a hard time buying that
- 6:44Speaker 1: she hasn't seen that report. When you walk in and
- 6:46Speaker 1: you're the White House Press secretary, you have people that
- 6:49Speaker 1: work for you, a large staff paid for by our
- 6:51Speaker 1: tax dollars, that help you prepare for the major questions.
- 6:54Speaker 1: This would be at the top of the board. When
- 6:56Speaker 1: you have these meetings, and as I've worked in a
- 6:58Speaker 1: White House before, you have meetings as a communications team,
- 7:01Speaker 1: as a communications staff, and they tell you all the
- 7:04Speaker 1: things they think you might get asked about. A story
- 7:06Speaker 1: about a Reuter's story saying that our oil and gas
- 7:10Speaker 1: that we're releasing is going to China is a big
- 7:12Speaker 1: story that would be right there on top of the
- 7:15Speaker 1: list of stories that morning. But I guess if you
- 7:17Speaker 1: can just lie and tell people, hey, you know, I
- 7:20Speaker 1: can make crap up as I go, it fixes everything. Now,
- 7:23Speaker 1: Joe Biden is a guy who wants you to believe
- 7:26Speaker 1: he's trying to help you while shipping this US oil
- 7:28Speaker 1: reserves to foreign countries. Let's get to the actual report.
- 7:32Speaker 1: As one person put it, quote because he hates Americans,
- 7:35Speaker 1: Joe Biden is shipping much neated American oil to foreign countries,
- 7:38Speaker 1: including China. The whole idea of the Strategic Petroleum Reserves
- 7:41Speaker 1: also known as SPR, which is owned by the US government,
- 7:46Speaker 1: meaning your tax dollars own it. Specifically, the US Department
- 7:50Speaker 1: of Energy is to hold on to about seven hundred
- 7:53Speaker 1: million bears of oil in the event of an emergency
- 7:56Speaker 1: or disruption in the pipeline of oil and gas. But now,
- 8:01Speaker 1: because of his fraudulency, Joe Biden has closed pipelines, He's
- 8:05Speaker 1: killed oil and gas leases, he's refused to allow refining
- 8:09Speaker 1: to expand as the prices of skyrocketed, and he has
- 8:13Speaker 1: gone to war with affordable energy. The spr is releasing
- 8:17Speaker 1: about a million gallons a day into the US economy.
- 8:21Speaker 1: The White House keeps saying over and over again, instead
- 8:24Speaker 1: of doing something permanent and useful that would actually lower
- 8:28Speaker 1: the prices, instead of solving the crisis that he purposely
- 8:31Speaker 1: created that put a gallon of gas over five dollars,
- 8:36Speaker 1: he's quote looking to steady gas prices. Yes, he's looking
- 8:42Speaker 1: actually not to just study the gas prices. What he's
- 8:44Speaker 1: really trying to do is steady his collapsing poll numbers
- 8:47Speaker 1: by squandering our oil reserves for a quick fix. And
- 8:52Speaker 1: that's bad enough, so bad that the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
- 8:56Speaker 1: is now at its lowest level since nineteen eighty six.
- 9:00Speaker 1: That's a problem. We also know that Biden has shut
- 9:04Speaker 1: down offshore oil and gas production while tapping the strtragic
- 9:07Speaker 1: petroleum reserves to provide fossil fuels to US consumers. I'll
- 9:11Speaker 1: tell you about that coming up in just a second.
- 9:14Speaker 1: But the bigger point here that needs to be brought
- 9:16Speaker 1: up is this. He wants to punish the American people
- 9:21Speaker 1: that he obviously has to stain for that are dependent
- 9:24Speaker 1: on oil and gas. This is what rich people that
- 9:27Speaker 1: are psychos do. Right, You're going to live by my
- 9:30Speaker 1: set of green religious rules. And I don't care how
- 9:34Speaker 1: much it hurts you when you're putting one hundred dollars
- 9:35Speaker 1: into your gas tank, not even filling up your gas
- 9:37Speaker 1: tank anymore. That's where we are now. He always finds
- 9:41Speaker 1: a way to buy the way make his contempt for
- 9:43Speaker 1: American America and Americans, and he takes a step further.
- 9:47Speaker 1: So here it is we now know and it can
- 9:49Speaker 1: be confirmed that more than five million barrels of oil
- 9:54Speaker 1: that we're part of his quote historic US energy reserves
- 9:59Speaker 1: that he decided to release to lower quote domestic fuel
- 10:02Speaker 1: prices did not stay in America. In fact, they were
- 10:06Speaker 1: exported to Europe and China. Last month that according to
- 10:10Speaker 1: data and sources, this is a US gallon of gasoline
- 10:13Speaker 1: and diesel prices are hitting record highs again. The fourth
- 10:18Speaker 1: largest US oil refiner, Phillip sixty six shipped about four
- 10:22Speaker 1: hundred and seventy thousand barrels of sour crude from the
- 10:26Speaker 1: Big Hill Strategic Petroleum Reserve storage site in Texas to Italy,
- 10:33Speaker 1: according to US customs data. Now, why did they send
- 10:38Speaker 1: it to Italy? Because there is a home there of
- 10:40Speaker 1: a pipeline that sends oil to refineries in Central Europe.
- 10:44Speaker 1: We also know that the Atlantic Trading and Marketing ATMI,
- 10:49Speaker 1: which is an arm of French oil major conglomerates, exported
- 10:54Speaker 1: a lot five hundred and sixty thousand barrels each the
- 10:59Speaker 1: data shows, which matches up with what we ship to them.
- 11:03Speaker 1: That's not all. We also sent oil from the US
- 11:07Speaker 1: Strategic Petroleum Reserves. We send our crude oil to the
- 11:13Speaker 1: Netherlands and to a reliance refinery in India. An industry
- 11:20Speaker 1: source has confirmed a third cargo ship headed to China. Yes, China.
- 11:29Speaker 1: We're sending our oil to the country that sent us
- 11:32Speaker 1: coronavirus and a country that is trying to hurt us
- 11:35Speaker 1: and loves these high prices we're sending our oil there.
- 11:40Speaker 1: We're sending our oil to a country that hates America.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Why would Biden do something like this? Why would Biden
- 11:46Speaker 1: be Okay, with number one, this oil that is about
- 11:49Speaker 1: protecting Americans, quote national security. That's why we have the
- 11:53Speaker 1: strategic petroleum reserves. It's actually because of a national security concern.
- 11:58Speaker 1: Why would we sip itto China? And number two, this
- 12:02Speaker 1: oil can help bring down American gas prices, as he claims,
- 12:05Speaker 1: then why would be shaping it to the Netherlands and
- 12:07Speaker 1: to Europe and all over the world. The answer of
- 12:11Speaker 1: that question gives you the answer. The answer is, well,
- 12:14Speaker 1: right here, he hates America and he hates Americans and
- 12:19Speaker 1: Joe Biden, the Democrats hate Americans that are reliant on
- 12:22Speaker 1: fossil fuels. That's why this was not a problem for
- 12:26Speaker 1: them to ship this. Now, this is also a short
- 12:29Speaker 1: term fix. As you know, they're weakening America while trying
- 12:32Speaker 1: to make it to the mid term elections. We drive
- 12:36Speaker 1: cars and we live in big houses, and they don't
- 12:38Speaker 1: like it. They do themselves, by the way, but they're elites,
- 12:42Speaker 1: they're the overseers, they're the dictators, they're the tyrants, and
- 12:45Speaker 1: they don't want the rest of us to be comfortable
- 12:48Speaker 1: or independent. They want us to be dependent on them
- 12:51Speaker 1: the government, because that's how socialists gained power. They want
- 12:55Speaker 1: us to be needy. They want us to be begging
- 12:58Speaker 1: for their help because that is where they get their
- 13:01Speaker 1: fascist power from. Now. Janet Yellen came out this week
- 13:06Speaker 1: and insisted that Biden keep gas low as possible despite
- 13:10Speaker 1: halting oil production, saying, no, no, we're doing everything we can.
- 13:14Speaker 1: We're doing everything that we can to fix this problem.
- 13:19Speaker 1: What you need to understand is this administration does believe
- 13:24Speaker 1: there's fifty plus one per some Americans that will just
- 13:28Speaker 1: listen to what they say instead of look at the facts,
- 13:31Speaker 1: and are so stupid that they will believe them when
- 13:34Speaker 1: they say things like we are doing everything we can
- 13:38Speaker 1: to keep gas price as low as possible. Janet Yellen
- 13:43Speaker 1: knows that we're not doing oil and gas leases next
- 13:45Speaker 1: year in areas that we're producing massive amounts of oil
- 13:48Speaker 1: and gas. Janet Yellen knows that we just released oil
- 13:52Speaker 1: from our strategic oil reserves that have gone to China
- 13:55Speaker 1: because of Beijing Biden. Who knows what they have on
- 13:58Speaker 1: Biden because of Hunter Biden and the business dealings that
- 14:01Speaker 1: they had in China. Don't forget that as part of
- 14:03Speaker 1: this conversation. It has to be but listen to Janet
- 14:07Speaker 1: Yellen continue to lie to the American people as the
- 14:10Speaker 1: Energy secretary, telling the American people that we're doing everything
- 14:14Speaker 1: we can to make it better for you, when they're
- 14:16Speaker 1: obviously doing the complete opposite of that in historic release
- 14:22Speaker 1: of a million barrels a day from the Strategic Petroleum
- 14:26Speaker 1: Reserve and energy prices. Gas prices, while very high, have
- 14:32Speaker 1: risen a lot. They would be higher without that, But
- 14:38Speaker 1: Putin's war in Ukraine is having impacts on energy and
- 14:43Speaker 1: food prices. Globally, We're not the only country that's experiencing inflation.
- 14:50Speaker 1: You can see that in virtually every developed country around
- 14:55Speaker 1: the world. What Congress can do and what the Biden
- 14:58Speaker 1: administration would like to se C is investments in programs
- 15:04Speaker 1: like lowering prescription drug costs, investing in clean energy and
- 15:10Speaker 1: renewables that would free yard dependence on global oil markets,
- 15:16Speaker 1: which are subject to geopolitical risk, and could bring down
- 15:21Speaker 1: utility bills. So there, she is just lying to you.
- 15:24Speaker 1: She wants you to believe that they're doing everything they
- 15:27Speaker 1: can when they are obviously not doing everything that they can.
- 15:30Speaker 1: And we know this because they have nixed the offshore
- 15:33Speaker 1: drilling component of this. In fact, this is an exact
- 15:37Speaker 1: quote from the US government, a delay in the offshore
- 15:40Speaker 1: oil and gas leasing program couldn't be nearly five hundred
- 15:43Speaker 1: thousand barrels per day produced here in the US at
- 15:47Speaker 1: a time of geopolitical uncertainty and rapidly rising energy prices,
- 15:51Speaker 1: the Gulf of Mexo oil and gas production is more
- 15:54Speaker 1: important than ever. Our federal government said. Now, there are
- 15:59Speaker 1: many factors behind rising energy costs, the White House says,
- 16:02Speaker 1: and they said, that's part of the reason why you
- 16:04Speaker 1: can't just blame it on one thing. And they said,
- 16:06Speaker 1: part of this is because of COVID. They're going back
- 16:10Speaker 1: to COVID now. They said the best and this came
- 16:13Speaker 1: from another group that said, look, the best thing the
- 16:15Speaker 1: White House can do right now is to remove barriers
- 16:17Speaker 1: to investment in American energy production and infrastructure. Unfortunately, today
- 16:22Speaker 1: we heard more mixed signals about developing affordable, reliable, and
- 16:25Speaker 1: secure American natural gas and oil. They don't want it.
- 16:29Speaker 1: That's what you need to understand. The Washington Post reported
- 16:32Speaker 1: on Biden's policies, including his use it or Lose it
- 16:35Speaker 1: ultimatum to oil and gas companies that have leases that
- 16:38Speaker 1: are not actively producing. They said Biden phases political pressure
- 16:42Speaker 1: to show that he is tackling high gas prices, especially
- 16:45Speaker 1: ahead of the midterms, and he sought to deflect voters
- 16:47Speaker 1: anger blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for launching the war
- 16:51Speaker 1: against Ukraine, inciding oil companies for leaving drilling prospects idle
- 16:55Speaker 1: and land untapped. The president also know that the country's
- 16:58Speaker 1: rapid recovery from the pandemic has un least a torrent
- 17:02Speaker 1: of demand for fuel, which is also a lie. During
- 17:05Speaker 1: his fourteen minute speech, Biden mentions Putin's name about a
- 17:09Speaker 1: dozen times, calling it Putin's war, Putin sanctions, Putin price hike,
- 17:14Speaker 1: Putin's oil hike almost once a minute, saying some US
- 17:19Speaker 1: oil companies are putting profits over production. He called on
- 17:22Speaker 1: Congress to impose fees on companies that do not take
- 17:26Speaker 1: full advantage of the leases allowing them to extract oil
- 17:28Speaker 1: from federal land. It's not the time to sit on
- 17:32Speaker 1: record profits. It's time to step up for the good
- 17:34Speaker 1: of the country, Biden said, So then we release oil
- 17:37Speaker 1: and then they send it to China, because this makes
- 17:40Speaker 1: so much sense, right, the Energy secretary will lie to you,
- 17:44Speaker 1: Joe Biden will to you. Democrats will always put foreign
- 17:47Speaker 1: countries and foreigners above Americans when that means that they
- 17:50Speaker 1: can weaken our economy. That's the takeaway from this, especially
- 17:54Speaker 1: the millions of illegal aliens by the way, that they
- 17:56Speaker 1: hope to replace you with. Here's the takeaway from what
- 17:59Speaker 1: you should learn from this. They hate us, They hate
- 18:03Speaker 1: everything about us. They can't stand the fact that we
- 18:06Speaker 1: were self sufficient under Joe Biden. That was a huge
- 18:10Speaker 1: problem for them, because if you're self sufficient, you don't
- 18:12Speaker 1: need the government. In fact, we became too self sufficient,
- 18:15Speaker 1: having record low unemployment among Hispanics, among African Americans, record
- 18:20Speaker 1: low unemployment historically, never have we had lower unemployment numbers
- 18:24Speaker 1: when we did under Donald Trump. What does that mean?
- 18:27Speaker 1: Minorities were becoming self sufficient, They didn't need food stamps,
- 18:31Speaker 1: they didn't need the government to fix their problems. In fact,
- 18:36Speaker 1: many Americans were getting the mindset of, look, we just
- 18:39Speaker 1: want to be left alone, right, We don't need you,
- 18:42Speaker 1: we don't need your government aid, your government intervention. And
- 18:45Speaker 1: then they came back with their sick perverted right. We
- 18:49Speaker 1: want to indoctrinate your kids to believe that America is evil,
- 18:52Speaker 1: that America is bad. We want you to believe that
- 18:55Speaker 1: America was set up by a bunch of evil, rich
- 18:57Speaker 1: white men, and we need to overthrow our government. To
- 19:00Speaker 1: believe that the Supreme Court of the United States of
- 19:02Speaker 1: America is not legitimate because we lost elections. This is
- 19:06Speaker 1: all about reshaping America and this socialist and communist country.
- 19:10Speaker 1: So what are the Democrats doing? Joe Biden and the
- 19:13Speaker 1: Democrats are punishing you for this new sin of you
- 19:18Speaker 1: wanting to be independent and the new sin of you
- 19:20Speaker 1: wanting to be left alone. They're punishing you when they said,
- 19:24Speaker 1: because you want to raise your kids to love this country,
- 19:28Speaker 1: they want to and they want to indoctrinate your children
- 19:31Speaker 1: to believe that America is evil, that oil is evil,
- 19:33Speaker 1: that gas is evil, that petroleum is evil. They want
- 19:37Speaker 1: you to believe all this and then and your punishment
- 19:41Speaker 1: is to deliberately increase gas prices to hurt you, to
- 19:45Speaker 1: hurt your businesses, to hurt your small businesses, to hurt
- 19:47Speaker 1: your way of life. Because the weaker you become, and
- 19:50Speaker 1: every time you fill up that tank and every time
- 19:53Speaker 1: you buy something with these high prices, you become weaker
- 19:56Speaker 1: in their eyes, which means they have more power over you.
- 20:00Speaker 1: This is why they want to increase gas prices. This
- 20:03Speaker 1: is exactly why they're shipping our own gas overseas to
- 20:06Speaker 1: foreign countries, including our enemies China. Think about all them
- 20:10Speaker 1: millions of illegal immigrants. They're using our resources right now
- 20:13Speaker 1: that we desperately need now for American systems more than ever.
- 20:16Speaker 1: They love this. This is amazing for them. They're just
- 20:21Speaker 1: straight up lying to you to your face, and they
- 20:24Speaker 1: hope that there's enough of you out there that are
- 20:26Speaker 1: stupid enough to believe this, and they may be right.
- 20:30Speaker 1: You know. I go back to Mayor Peat, the Transportation secretary,
- 20:32Speaker 1: with all the problems we're having with traveling right now,
- 20:35Speaker 1: what did he say. He says, we'll see inflationary COVID
- 20:38Speaker 1: shockwaves for quite some time when it comes to transportation flying,
- 20:43Speaker 1: and they're going to blame it back on COVID because
- 20:45Speaker 1: they realize Vladimir Putin line isn't working anymore. But we're also,
- 20:49Speaker 1: of course seeing these very very challenging pressures on prices,
- 20:54Speaker 1: whether we're talking about energy, whether we're talking about goods,
- 20:56Speaker 1: whether we're talking about shipping, and it's that interaction of
- 20:59Speaker 1: those two high demand, which is great news, but really
- 21:03Speaker 1: challenge for the supply side to keep up with that.
- 21:06Speaker 1: That's put us in an economic situation that continues to
- 21:09Speaker 1: be really tough to manage. The President has made clear
- 21:12Speaker 1: his top economic priority is keeping prices under control and
- 21:16Speaker 1: fighting inflation. We're using all of the tools a little
- 21:18Speaker 1: available to us to do that. But if you just
- 21:21Speaker 1: consider the magnitude of the shock that the pandemic created,
- 21:25Speaker 1: we're going to continue seeing those shockwaves reverberate through our economy,
- 21:29Speaker 1: I think, for quite some time. So there it is
- 21:31Speaker 1: not our fault. It's the fault of COVID. We're doing
- 21:35Speaker 1: everything we can to make things better, but you're not.
- 21:38Speaker 1: We know that that's a lie, right, it's a lie
- 21:40Speaker 1: to say that. We know that that is a lie.
- 21:43Speaker 1: They're not trying to do everything they can and make
- 21:45Speaker 1: things better. If they were, they would actually be using
- 21:48Speaker 1: everything at their disposal to make sure that we can
- 21:51Speaker 1: become energy independent. They would be reversing everything they took
- 21:54Speaker 1: away under our energy independent that Donald Trump put into
- 21:57Speaker 1: place and was using to have a dollar and change
- 22:00Speaker 1: ass it's now five dollars in change. When you are weak,
- 22:04Speaker 1: they are powerful. When you are weak, they have control
- 22:09Speaker 1: over you. And when they tell you that they're putting
- 22:13Speaker 1: all of this money out there right, and they're doing
- 22:15Speaker 1: all these things to help you. They're lying to you.
- 22:17Speaker 1: You want to know where your money is going. Just
- 22:19Speaker 1: a little last note here. We found out yesterday and
- 22:23Speaker 1: no one's covering this in the media. The billions of
- 22:26Speaker 1: your tax dollars are flowing to Afghanistan, and the State
- 22:30Speaker 1: Department has now blocked an audit to disclose where the
- 22:34Speaker 1: money is actually going because we're being told by whistleblowers
- 22:36Speaker 1: it's going to the terrorists. The US has dropped a
- 22:41Speaker 1: hundred and forty six billion on Afghanistan reconstruction, going apparently
- 22:48Speaker 1: to the Taliban, and billions more continue to be sent
- 22:52Speaker 1: to the country. The Biden administration is now blocking federal
- 22:56Speaker 1: orders from conducting their congregionary mandated job of investigating where
- 23:01Speaker 1: the money is going. For months, the Special Inspector General
- 23:05Speaker 1: for Afghanistan Reconstruction has been trying to investigate the abrupt
- 23:08Speaker 1: collapse of the US back government in Afghanistan. If the
- 23:12Speaker 1: State Department is complying with laws and regulations prohibiting the
- 23:15Speaker 1: transfer of funds to the Taliban an ongoing humanitarian programs
- 23:19Speaker 1: supporting the Afghan people. However, the State Department and its offshoot,
- 23:25Speaker 1: the United States Agency for International Development, has refused to
- 23:29Speaker 1: cooperate as requested by law. This month, the head of
- 23:33Speaker 1: the SIGR expressed outrage over the State Department's effort to
- 23:38Speaker 1: obstruct his office's investigation in a letter to Congressional committees
- 23:42Speaker 1: and Secretary of State Anthony B. Lincoln and the USAID
- 23:46Speaker 1: Administrator Samantha Powers. He's revealed that the State Department has
- 23:49Speaker 1: blown off more than twenty requests for information from his
- 23:53Speaker 1: office in the last eight months. Why because I guarantee
- 23:56Speaker 1: the money's going to the Taliban, which is against the law,
- 24:00Speaker 1: their terrorist group. The watchdog rights of the sudden refusal
- 24:03Speaker 1: to cooperative is particularly surprising after more than a decade
- 24:06Speaker 1: of cooperation. In fact, quote, billions of dollars have been
- 24:09Speaker 1: spent in Afghanistan and billions more continue to be spent.
- 24:12Speaker 1: Congress and the American taxpayers deserve to know why the
- 24:15Speaker 1: Afghan government collapsed after all the assistance, and where the
- 24:18Speaker 1: money went, and how taxpayers money is being spent in Afghanistan.
- 24:21Speaker 1: Right now, they understand where the money is, they understand
- 24:25Speaker 1: where the money's going. They understand all of it. But
- 24:29Speaker 1: if they can take your money and send it to Afghanistan.
- 24:32Speaker 1: They can take your money and they can send it
- 24:35Speaker 1: to Afghanistan instead of helping you, and you become weak
- 24:40Speaker 1: and their enemies that are now their friends at Taliban
- 24:44Speaker 1: that they want you to believe or their friends can
- 24:46Speaker 1: get rich and they take your dollars to do it.
- 24:48Speaker 1: It's not a bad gig if you think about it right,
- 24:51Speaker 1: It's pretty awesome if you think about it. For them,
- 24:55Speaker 1: because this is how they gain ultimate power over you.
- 24:59Speaker 1: This is how they make sure that they control you.
- 25:03Speaker 1: So when you go fill up your car, whether it's
- 25:05Speaker 1: today or tomorrow the next day, just know the administration
- 25:09Speaker 1: keeps saying we're doing everything we can while they're doing
- 25:12Speaker 1: the exact opposite of that. They're making sure that there's
- 25:14Speaker 1: less drilling next year while we're in the middle of
- 25:17Speaker 1: this crisis, which will mean guaranteed that the price of
- 25:22Speaker 1: oil and gas will go up instead of it coming down, guaranteed,
- 25:27Speaker 1: And they know it, They understand it. They're doing it
- 25:32Speaker 1: on purpose. When the prices go up when you buy
- 25:36Speaker 1: goods and groceries, know that they understand why it's happening,
- 25:41Speaker 1: and they're fine with it. Understand that This is all
- 25:44Speaker 1: being done on purpose. This is not an accident. If
- 25:51Speaker 1: they can suck you dry, if they can take your
- 25:57Speaker 1: independence away from you so that you are dependent on them.
- 26:00Speaker 1: I go back to Jesse Jackson, and it's very hard
- 26:03Speaker 1: to find the clip because I laugh about it because
- 26:07Speaker 1: so many people don't want to talk about the clip.
- 26:12Speaker 1: But there's that clip of food stamps and him talking
- 26:15Speaker 1: about food stamps and saying Jesse Jackson saying food stamp president.
- 26:19Speaker 1: You remember that, Remember when Jesse Jackson said's an honor
- 26:22Speaker 1: to be called a food stamp president. When you had
- 26:25Speaker 1: the president of the United States America put more Americans
- 26:27Speaker 1: on food stamp than any other time in history. Barack
- 26:29Speaker 1: Obama did that. And why did he do it? Because
- 26:32Speaker 1: that's how you know how many people are directly dependent
- 26:36Speaker 1: on you. All right. Lastly, please make sure you hit
