Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, news Roundup Information Overload Hour, toll free.
It's 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
We'll get to your calls at the bottom of this half hour.
Obviously, the media are not very smart.
We know that.
We know that they're they're corrupt.
We know that Biden gets a pass on everything.
I mean, he was in the Canada production protection program.
Now he's in the presidential protection program.
Joey took a little day off and he needed a rest.
He worked really hard last week, so he's in Delaware, and Vladimir Putin is threatening to nuke the world.
I'm like, oh, okay, that's where you really belong, Joey.
Um, and so I watched the president's speech, meaning Donald Trump's speech at CPAC, I watched the whole thing, start to finish, and the president couldn't be more clear on what an evil and hostile actor Vladimir Putin is.
And but the media wants to hope harp on the fact that, well, Putin is smart and our leaders are dumb.
Let's start with the second part of that.
Our leaders are dumb.
The fact that Joe Biden inherited energy independence, as we've been discussing all day, and Joe Biden inherited a country, America, that was a net exporter of energy, and Joe Biden artificially reduced the world supply of energy dramatically, and the same Joe Biden is the one that blocked the Keystone XL pipeline, but he did give Vladimir a waiver around the exact same time to build his Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
Uh Joe Biden put new drilling efforts in Alaska on a permanent hold, including Anwar.
He disrupt disrupted entirely the new exploration and development auctions in the rest of the country, suspended new exploration on federal lands, and even you know, is hurting the natural gas production in America as well as well.
At a point where we ought to be ratcheting up to the highest level possible, warp speeding, if you will, energy production, not only for our own national security purposes, it would be great to help drop this this 40-plus year high of inflation, everything costs more.
Why?
Because Joe artificially raised the price of energy dramatically by reducing our output.
Now, when you reduce the world supply and the demand, let's say remains constant or even increases, uh, what does that do to price?
What's economics 101 say?
Supply and demand crisscross and dictate the price.
You reduce the supply, demand remains constant or increases, you're paying a lot more for gas.
Now that's the lifeblood of the world's economy, as I always say.
So that means that's why you're paying on average about a buck fifty more a gallon when you fill up.
That's why you're paying more to heat your home this winter.
You'll pay more to cool your home this summer, and that's why everything you buy at every store you go to costs more.
It's simple math.
It's not hard.
So our politicians doing this, that is a very dumb move.
Now, when the president who condemned Putin as evil, nobody wants to focus on that part.
When he says, Putin's smart, Putin, in other words, Putin saw an opening.
He saw America capitulating to these climate change alarmist cultists, the new Green Deal Socialist Democrats.
He sees the reduction of the world supply, and that means that Joe's policies has helped make Russia and Putin rich again.
And he's also forced our allies to be more reliant on Vladimir Putin.
Fully 40% of natural gas that goes into Europe comes from Russia.
Not a good place for it to come from.
Especially when we have more natural resources than the entire Middle East and Russia combined.
And we could be supplying them.
And in the meantime, it'd be great.
We wouldn't have to care about the Straits of Hormuz.
We wouldn't have to care about the Middle East.
We wouldn't be begging OPEC, please, please increase production.
We wouldn't be taking in and importing 232 million barrels of oil from Vladimir.
All those things would go away.
Joey even imported a million barrels of oil from Iran, which nobody seems to care about but me.
And we hadn't done that since 1991.
Great job, Joey.
So when Donald Trump says Putin is smart and our leaders are dumb, let's start with the second part.
Our leaders are dumb.
Now, when you say Putin is smart, he's recognizing the evil he said it of Vladimir Putin.
Vladimir Putin, I have said forever.
He is a hostile actor.
This is a hostile regime.
This is an enemy state.
And because of Joe's weakness and his economic and energy policies, he's now created this dependence where the one sanction that would have worked, that is imports, exports of energy.
That's the one sanction that he's not imposed on Vladimir.
Well, that negates any other sanction that exists on Russia, because that allows the free flow of money into the coffers of this corrupt maniacal dictator, this murdering thug who invaded a sovereign country.
How hard is this to understand?
Here's what President Trump said.
Yesterday reporters asked me if I thought President Putin was smart.
I said, of course he's smart, to which I was greeted with, oh, that's such a terrible thing to say.
I'd like to tell the truth, yes, he's smart.
The NATO nations and indeed the world, as he looks over what's happening strategically with no repercussions or threats whatsoever, they're not so smart.
They're looking the opposite of smart.
If you take over Ukraine, we're going to sanction you, they say.
Sanction.
Well, that's a pretty weak statement.
Putin is saying, oh, they're gonna sanction me.
They sanctioned me for the last 25 years.
You mean I can take over a whole country?
Are they gonna sanction me?
You mean they're not gonna blow us to pieces, at least psychologically.
The problem is not that Putin is smart.
Which of course he's smart, but the real problem is that our leaders are dumb.
Dumb.
So dumb.
There's ways to stop this.
Now, I've been I've been saying it in no uncertain terms.
You know, Bill Moore on a show has this thing.
New rule.
I have a new rule.
If you're a murdering tyrant and you invade a sovereign country and you kill innocent people, you forfeit your right to lead any country.
Miranda Devine is with us, um, author of the laptop from Hell of a Best Seller, and of course columnist for the New York Post.
Uh you dealt with this as well.
And uh apparently maybe we're the only two people that understand Donald what Donald Trump was saying, perhaps more than the corrupt media that wanted to spin it in an entirely different direction.
Uh, your thoughts on all of it.
Well, look, uh, I mean, uh, obviously we know that Joe Biden is compromised when it comes to both Ukraine and Russia, because millions of dollars was sent into his family and their friends' coffers uh during the time that he was vice president, and they only got paid money uh because he was powerful.
So um that is something that I think uh I cannot believe the rest of the media has been ignoring.
But having said that, you know, at a time of war and peril, um, you know, I I think it we should be careful about criticizing the president um too much, because I think the time for that comes afterwards.
But obviously Joe Biden has projected weakness to the world that was.
Hey Miranda's if he's gonna tell us something that is factually inaccurate, the toughest sanctions, we're gonna implement the toughest sanctions, and he doesn't implement any sanctions on the lifeblood of Putin's economy, and that is the importation and exportation of energy.
Then how is it possible to take that seriously?
That uh that's like taking a little feather and rubbing it on Vladimir's nose and saying, There you go, stop now.
You gotta be a good good Vladimir, good murdering dictator, Vladimir.
Um, it doesn't work if you don't stop the flow of money.
Why is why can't we say what is so obviously true?
Well, I think the original sanctions were uh weak like a feather, like you say.
Uh, but I mean, Europe has stepped up since, and you know, Germany has uh said Nord Stream two is no longer happening.
Um What about Nord Stream One, Miranda?
Uh no one's mentioning that.
And the the real the look the root of the problem is that we had energy independence under Donald Trump and Joe Biden on his very first day decided to start issuing executive orders to stop that.
And that is what these global climate alarmists want.
They want fuel to be more expensive.
This is part of the plan because they want us to use less fossil fuel, and then you saw Jensaki on the weekend say, oh no, uh, you know, because Tom Cotton and others have been saying we need to quickly improve and increase our own domestic oil production so that we can not be reliant on Russia and so that our allies in Europe don't have to be reliant on uh Russia.
America has bountiful, plentiful supplies.
But no, Jen Sarke is there and she's the mouthpiece for Joe Biden, obviously, and she is saying, No, we don't want people to be using fossil fuels.
We don't want them to be using oil.
Well, what are they meant to use?
This is so disastrous for our economy, and it has weakened us and it has allowed Russia, because oil is now up to a hundred dollars a barrel, that's when Russia felt emboldened because the money is flowing into his coffers, and now he takes over Ukraine and a very uh, you know, but a lot of it's not just a lot of people.
That his policies, our NATO allies policies and our Western European friends' policies have made Russia and Putin rich again.
There's a tape I ran on the TV show last week, and I ran it on this radio show, but it's better on TV.
It's visual.
And that was Donald Trump without a single note in front of him, just beating the living Adam shift out of the leader of NATO over the how stupid they are.
Uh and let me get this straight.
We're paying more to defend Europe from Russia, uh, and you're not even paying your fair share.
And then on top of that, countries like Germany are doing multi, multi-billion dollar deals making Putin rich again.
Tell me how that makes sense.
Then the guy would try to answer, and he could sounded like an idiot, because there is no answer to that, because it makes no sense, and this is now where we find ourselves.
Well, and the problem is, again, it's this climate alarm that's been going on for over a decade.
Um, it's uh a money making scheme for certain people.
It's about um destroying our economies because that is what will happen.
We can't all drive electric cars, something has to produce the electricity, windmills aren't going to do it.
At least this time, maybe people will start realizing that the climate alarm stuff is not some harmless little uh luxury, it actually is a dagger at the heart of our economy.
You know, and then that's the scary part.
Quick break more with Miranda Devine, then your call's coming up 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
And as we continue, Miranda Devine is with us, author of the bestseller Laptop from Helm.
What's so frustrating to me, and we had Kelly Trubaka on, who's the candidate challenging Republican candidate challenging Lisa Murkowski.
And we have so much in terms of natural resources, and I had Rick Perry on last week.
We'll we'll get him on radio this week, and he was on TV, and he's saying, Sean, we we've got more than a hundred plus years of natural energy resources for this country.
Now, I'm all for all of the above.
If you find me a cheaper form of energy, you know, not these idiotic windmills and solar panels that are inefficient, don't work, and it's a pipe dream as of right now.
But if you come up with a real solution, which I'm I believe in innovation and the creativity and and one day we'll get there.
But in the meantime nuclear, nuclear power is the solution, and Europe has well, France hasn't, but Germany's been busy getting rid of its nuclear plants because again, for some reason there's this unholy alliance between the climate alarmists and the anti-nuclear people.
Well, I mean, I don't get it at all.
I mean, so we can drill, we can frack, well co coal mining's out of the question, nuclear is out of the question.
So I guess you know, w now we're gonna allow and explain the I'm gonna ask you one last question.
If if Mother Earth is the argument of the the new Green Deal socialist climate alarmist cult.
Okay, what difference does it make to Mother Earth if the oil, the barrel of oil comes from the Mid East, comes from Russia, or comes from the US.
Wouldn't it have the same impact on the on Mother Earth, no matter where you drill it?
Yeah, all comes from Australia, which has lovely clean oil.
I mean, some places have nicer oil than others.
Um and gas is cleaner, you know, if you're worried about um carbon emissions.
Gas is a beautiful uh fossil fuel.
They they don't care.
They just want us to not have a life.
They want to kill the middle class.
That's what they're doing.
They still, you know, they'll still fly around these climate alarmists like John Kerry and Mark Zuckerberg and uh the rest of them will fly Prince Harry, fly around in in private chip, which uses more gas than you know, one of the things that's a good thing.
Yeah, by the way, I'd be fine with it, but stop lecturing us about our SUVs.
Exactly.
I mean, I well go go fly wherever the hell you want.
I don't care.
None of my business, but stop lecturing me.
Yeah.
I think we can point the finger directly at Joe Biden for the fuel price uh increases, and that is fueling um a third of inflation.
And he pretends that he's trying to do something about it by chucking into our oil reserve.
No, he's now blaming Putin for inflation.
That's the big that's his big gambit.
You what's the one?
That's a band-aid, Miranda.
You know it and I know it.
Yeah, oh no, it's not true.
It's just not true.
This is what they've laid down the premise uh well before.
This is his get out of jail free card, he thinks.
And you watch State of the Union, he will get up, he will boast about it, he will say what a marvelous job he did uniting uh you know America and its allies in NATO and what a great states.
And you know what I'm gonna be doing when he's doing that?
I'm gonna be in the bathroom vomiting.
You and sixty percent of the country.
He has a lot of the book is called Laptop from Hell.
Thank you.
You're the best.
800 941 Shauna's on number.
Quick break, right back.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Well, Jill Biden had a Joe Biden moment while introducing Kamala Harris.
Listen.
And is proud to be the first, but not the last.
Ladies, ladies and gentlemen, the president of the United The Vice President of the I just said that to make you laugh.
The vice president of the United States, Scotty La Harris.
Uh yeah the Biden spent the weekend.
Where were they, Linda?
In oh, that's right.
Putin is now putting nuclear forces on high alert, escalating tensions.
And where was Joe this weekend?
He was in the situation room, right?
He was in the white house, he was in the Oval Office.
Yeah, it was that makeshift oval office they have in his library in his house.
Yeah, he was sleeping the line such a joke.
It's it's it's not a the problem.
You know what the problem is?
It's not a joke.
I'm telling you.
You said you said to me, why?
I said, because it's not funny anymore.
I mean, I don't know that it's ever been funny, but sometimes you gotta laugh to get through things, and this is pretty.
I mean, imagine if it was Trump, the media would go insane, right?
And here you have this cognitive mess, and he's he's deteriorating before our eyes.
I mean, this this struggle that he has is that bad.
And we're watching this unfold in real time, and it's degenerative.
If you have that condition, it's obvious he's he's getting worse, and everybody's covering for him.
You know, there really ought to be a question.
Who knew what about his health and when?
We ever gonna ask that question?
Ronnie Jackson says it is getting worse every day.
And he should take this cognitive test that Donald Trump took and Ace.
Why don't they make Joe Biden take that test?
I don't think he answered ten questions correct.
He can't even he can't even pronounce the words that are written on a screen for him.
He really has bad.
I mean, he really can't.
I've had my bad nights occasionally with a teleprompter.
I I have.
Well, everybody who reads teleprompter, it's not easy to read a teleprompter.
hard for me it's i could do it my sleep but just you just not focused that day i'm tired i'm worn out Whatever it happens to be, I'm I'm literally spending every second on everything other than the show because of all the crap that people throw on me every day.
And so those are the days like okay, what what am I doing now?
And uh I like to re you know my routine, I like to really focus.
Sorry, go ahead.
My listen, you you do great with teleprompter, you have been doing it for years, but my point is, you know, Joe Biden is good at nothing.
He's been good at nothing for 47 years.
It's not gonna change in year 48.
Now not only is he not good at anything, but he's not good at anything, and he's losing his mind.
So it's like the combination of like, well, you were already terrible.
Now we're gonna take away all of your basic faculties, and we're gonna ask you to run, you know, and be the leader of the free world, which clearly he's not.
I mean, even his wife knows that, and she's accidentally announcing, you know, the vice president, who we know they all hate each other anyway.
They all hate it.
It's just it's absurd.
And the problem is while this is happening, I I'll be very honest with you.
I have a lot of mixed opinions on what is happening with Ukraine and Russia.
But putting all of that aside, all I can think about is these kids saying goodbye to their parents because they're gonna go in and be a part of the civilian army.
And the pictures of the kids are either dying, getting hurt, caught in ricochet, they're saying the crying, uh, and everything's on video.
I mean, the thing that I don't understand is somebody is standing there videotaping this.
And I don't I I don't get it.
Twice about sending you the video today of that six-year-old girl that was murdered.
And because you have a six-year-old little boy at home.
And he's asking me.
He's like, what's going on?
Well, you know, because he sees me and he sees us doing the news and what I'm talking about, and he goes, Why are the soldiers fighting?
And you know what I told him?
I said, Greed.
I said, These are the greediest people in the world.
Your life is cheap, they don't care.
This is money and oil.
That's all this is.
Yep.
And he said, I thought that people fought for freedom.
I said, No, honey, that's not what's happening here.
Listen, I'm not standing with the the government, I'm not defending this government in Ukraine, because they've been corrupt for years.
We saw that on tape with Joe Biden, you're not getting a billion, well, I should fire the prosecutor, son of a bee, they fired him to protect his son that was being investigated, and and Ukraine has had their corruption.
Um I don't care about their government so much, although Zelensky, there's been a couple of moments that I said, you know, he's showing some promise.
I don't know him, and I don't want to know frankly anybody in Ukraine, but to watch the people suffer, to see the blood on the faces of people that were bombed needlessly, the people trying to resuscitate this young girl, they're crying because this is a six-year-old kid that Vladimir murdered,
which is hence I go back to my rule that if you're a murdering tyrant and you invade a sovereign country, albeit I don't like Ukraine's corruption, and you kill innocent people, you forfeit your right to be the leader of any country.
That's it.
Go ahead.
My point, I agree with everything you just said.
Um there are some mixed reports on what happened with those soldiers on that island, and if they survived or if they didn't survive now.
And I'm not sure where that stands, and I'm gonna look into that and try to find out the truth behind it.
I I heard that only earlier today.
Yeah.
By the looks of it, I think the ri original reporting was correct.
If it's if it's in fact true that they survived or some of them survived, I want to know too.
It would be great if they did.
I'm not sure if they're keeping that tight because of the fact that they don't want a further attack.
Um, I haven't that hasn't been fully vetted yet.
We're gonna check that out.
Uh and that as we get news, we'll obviously bring it to the audience.
But as far as the kids go, the audience, we're gonna bring it to the audience.
But in all fairness to to the kids, regardless of what your country is doing, you know, and who who runs your country and how corrupt they are, it's got nothing to do with innocent life.
And I think what we've seen over the past, you know, I would say five years, you know, with what you know, what's happening in Afghanistan right now is mimicking what's happening in Ukraine.
I mean, we've got explain me, explain that to me too.
Why do people care about Ukraine?
But they've got a crap about Afghanistan.
I'm like, guys, it's the same thing.
I'm like, we have to do that.
You're right.
I mean, it's unreal.
You're 100% correct.
That's why we've been the only show counting it down.
You go ahead to give you the last thought.
I heard you're not going to be able to do that.
No, no, that's it.
I'm sure the audience has plenty to say.
Doug in California, what's up, Doug?
Um letting me um jump in on the Ukraine situation.
The the Neville Chamberlain's proclamation of peace in our time has been replaced with Putin's doctrine of one piece at a time.
And I think everybody is to blame for this.
And this is a result of years and years of bipartisan appeavement.
What Bush did in 2008 with Georgia is no better than what Obama did in 2014 with Crimea.
And quite frankly, if Putin this time had just stopped with the Donetsk and Luhansk eastern regions of the Ukraine, it would just be business as usual.
We'd all be Wringing our hands and doing absolutely nothing about it.
So let's go through this history.
So in 2008, you're talking about Georgia.
In 2014, Putin annexes Crimea.
Then he sets up Belarus and Moldova as satellite Soviet states.
Okay.
By the way, there's an invasion now coming, Belarus very close to the capital Kiev, right?
So they're going to use that as the launching ground.
They're gonna get Kiev.
Vladimir Putin is you know, all these people, I and I'm very, very, very inspired by the Ukrainians fighting.
I really am.
But the bottom line is I don't see this murdering dictator unleashing hell, and he's only he's only used a small portion of his military might.
If he unloads on them, it's over.
And now, can there be an insurgency with javelins and even uh we can go back to the stinger missiles that we provided the Mujahideen?
Yes, I believe in an a really vibrant insurgency could do a lot of damage to Russia.
But I'm telling you, this is a David and Goliath, and these guys are sitting ducks, and if this guy, you know, starts carpet bombing Kiev, you know, God help everybody.
And he's and he seems pretty hell bent on doing it.
Go ahead.
Well, I was just gonna say, I I think you know, in the short term, what's happening in the Ukraine is tr is you know tragic, but the longer term problem is Europe's dependence and our dependence on the oil and gas in Russia.
And all dependents over the weekend were talking just about production, production, production.
The problem is there's just not the political will on the other side to just do a straight give.
And I think there is an opportunity for national security hawks and environmentalists to work together.
They both have to give, and the only way it's gonna happen is if tomorrow in the Republican response, the Republicans propose massive tax credit for solar panels to decrease energy demand in exchange for environmentalists agreeing to open the spigot for a surge in U.S. energy production.
If we can make demand go down at the same time that production goes up, we can drive the price of oil and gas just straight down into the floor.
And that's the only way to beat these tyrants is to take away their wallet.
Uh I agree completely, and that's why all of these sanctions combined are meaningless without the real sanction that matters, and that is importing and exporting energy.
And they're unwilling to put that sanction in place for selfish reasons.
And I'll tell you, if history is any guide, that what happened after Crimea when it was annexed, nothing.
So there's there's no incentive for Putin to stop.
Now, if we get to um Lithuania, um, if we get to Estonia, if we get to the Baltics, Latvia, now we got another issue, and that is, oh, well, Article 5 kicks in in terms of the NATO alliance.
Uh uh an attack against one is an attack against all.
And I'm not convinced, I can't say with any confidence today that NATO has the stomach to do what would be necessary at that point.
That's frightening too.
Thanks, Doug.
Appreciate it.
Barbara, South Carolina.
What's up, Barbara?
Hey there, Sean.
Thank you for having me today.
Thank you.
Sean, I was um thank you, sir.
I was born in communist Cuba.
I came here legally in 1969 because and we we came on the uh freedom flights that Lyndon Johnson enacted, and the purpose of that was because of the Cold War and Cuba's proximity to the United States, and they wanted to brain drain Cuba.
And it it worked.
And it brought me and my fa and half of my family here.
As a matter of fact, Castro denied my mother's visa and three other kids, uh, our three siblings, and they had to stay behind 23 years.
So they stood in mind to come here legally.
I'm not gonna go on the border situation right now, but you know, we paid the price to come here legally.
But what I am seeing here in America very clearly, everyone calls them socialists.
They are communists.
Let's call it what it is.
Those democratic socialists of America is an offshoot of the communist party USA.
Biden knows what they need to do.
They need to open up the pot line, but he's not gonna do it.
Because I believe Putin is not our number one enemy, Biden and his administration.
I'm gonna say it just as it is.
I see it.
He in this administration.
When I wrote the book in 2004, it took a lot of heat because of the title.
It was Deliver Us from Evil, Defeating Despotism, Terrorism, and Liberalism.
Because if you have, if you elect an appeasing party and put them in office, this is the result.
Weakness incurs aggression.
You need the policies of peace through strength.
And this is this goes right to the heart of my narrative, which is being a conservative works.
And that's why I support conservative policies.
Liberty, freedom, capitalism, our constitution, lower taxes, less bureaucracy, constitutionalists on the bench, law and order, uh, school choice, energy independence, secure borders, free and fair trade, peace through strength.
Am I really I can reduce it to that?
And those policies, when implemented, be it Reagan or be it Trump, every single time we prosper.
And our enemies fear us.
You know, Gorbachev and Russia, the former Soviet Union, they feared Reagan.
They really fear had a genuine fear of him.
Donald Trump, they fear even more because they think he's so unpredictable.
Who knows?
He's capable of anything.
That kept Putin in check for four years.
Notice, Crimea happened under Biden Obama, and it nothing happened under Donald Trump.
And Donald Trump, I've I've talked to him, interviewed him many times about tell me more about Putin.
I want to know more.
I want to learn.
And and he's giving me the straight scoop.
And he was not hesitant to tell Putin, I'm not going to take your crap.
Just like he told the Taliban, the Taliban didn't march, you know, from the south to the north up to Karzai International Airport, unimpeded.
Because they were told that if they move one inch, that they were going to be blown to smithereens.
First thing Trump said, I wish that I hope history at some point releases these conversations.
Because I think it'll blow people's minds.
And and I've known Trump for 25 years.
Oh, Hannity talks to Trump and everything and was just shouldn't be allowed to talk to Trump.
Oh, I shouldn't be able to talk to the president of the United States, and I do three hours on radio, an hour on TV, and if he's willing to take my call, I shouldn't talk to him.
Uh, I think that's dumb.
Um, anyway, God bless you, Barbara.
Appreciate it.
You know, you gotta pray for these families.
Pray for these innocent people.
Because if if his back is against the wall, I predict a slaughter, an evil in our time that will shock the world.
I think this guy's capable of all of it.
And we're impotent in dealing with it because they're unwilling to give up their addiction to his oil and energy.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Full complete coverage of what's going on in the ground on the ground in Ukraine.
Uh our reporters are there.
We'll give you a full report.
Bill Hemmer at the big board tonight, uh, Dan Hoffman, General Kellogg tonight, John Ratcliffe tonight, uh, Senator Joni Ernst.
Uh, we'll get an update on from our friends at Gas Buddy about the high price we're paying at the pump and a Ukrainian brewery that's making Molotov cocktails.
The guy doing this will join us from Ukraine.
It's all coming up, nine Eastern set you DVR, Hannity, Fox News.
We'll see you tonight back here tomorrow.
Thank you for making this show possible.
