How then a jail on if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
Let me just say this.
I agree with what Senator Lindsay Graham said.
Shut up.
That's what he said to them.
I think they should just shut up.
Because you can't build a wall high enough to keep out a vaccine.
The vaccine can stop the spread of these diseases.
Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.
So basically that's wrong.
Freedom is back in style.

America trapped behind enemy lines.
Day number two five.
All right, day 205, day what, 218.
Since Joey promised he wouldn't stab Americans in the back, he did and abandoned them.
And of course, he's turned the page and nobody ever talks about them, and nobody ever mentions them.
Well, I'm sure that most of you, if not all of you, have been reading about the dramatic increase.
140 bar dollars a barrel of oil.
We have some oil traders now.
They're actually believing the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and its international fallout could drive up prices this month.
Uh, average price of gasoline is now its highest number in over a decade.
Well over four bucks a gallon, and then depending on what state you live in, then you of course have your state tax and your local tax, and if you're in New York, your city taxed, everyone gets a piece.
I now see places in New York City with what, five dollars a gallon for gasoline.
Uh, and and I'm paying well over four or four fifty of uh a gallon.
Uh what was it during Trump?
I remember paying two dollars.
I mean, he even said at one point uh we're gonna have you want to pay five, six, seven dollars a barrel for oil.
That's that's what's gonna happen.
Uh so it as bad as all of that is, the Biden administration's response to it is even worse.
The Dow has been on a dive pretty much all day with the increase in the price of oil because the incre well look, it it it it impacts every single thing we do and every single thing we buy.
It costs more to fill up your tank, eat cool your home, and every product you buy in every store costs more to get it there, and that cost gets passed on to you.
You know, this is it's going to have an impact on every aspect of this economy.
It's the lowest, it's the the highest price for gasoline since 2008.
You know, they're looking at $7 a gallon for gasoline at one station in Los Angeles, pretty close to that that mark.
Food prices, by the way, have gone up a whopping 20.7% year to year, and that's gonna hit a record high coming up this month.
U.S. gas prices are rising at the fastest pace ever, according to triple A. Elon Musk, he makes his business building electric cars.
I've never drove a Tesla.
Everyone I know that has one, and they love it.
They're they love that car.
Uh, but he's a guy that's a realist, and he actually tweeted out, you know, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures.
We need to dramatically increase our energy uh oil and gas, uh, natural gas production.
At least the at least he's smart enough to understand it.
It doesn't help his business, but he's smart enough to know that it's imperative for the entire economy and the lifeblood of our economy.
But the worst part of all of this is not this.
You know, we have articles now that Biden may travel to Saudi Arabia and a quest for oil.
That's the headline from Fox News.com.
Now, it's not just Saudi Arabia.
Joe Biden has before this invasion by Russia of Ukraine.
He's been asking the Russians to increase production.
They've been saying no.
Yet, not happening.
He's been asking OPEC nations to increase production.
The answers come back every single time.
No.
By the way, there's no incentive for them.
You know, if you're producing a barrel of oil at these prices, phu.
You're just raking in billions and billions of dollars every day, especially with the amount of money the of energy imports by Western nations and the United States.
We're still importing oil from Russia today.
Then Pete Buttigieg let the cat out of the bag.
It turns out to be true that during...
As these ongoing negotiations with Iran, where they would get tens of billions of dollars in frozen assets given to them.
In other words, here we go again.
Cargo planes filled with cash, gold, other currency will land on the tarmac and the mullahs will be rich again.
But as part of the deal, they're negotiating with Iran to import energy oil from Iran.
They happen to have pretty vast resources themselves.
We really want to deal with a country that says death to Israel, death to America, burning American flags, and burning the U.S. flag.
You know, and I guarantee you this deal is going to be far worse than even the Obama Biden deal with Iran.
They just never learn their lesson.
So we're going to beg all of these countries, OPEC countries, many of whom hate us.
Uh we're gonna beg the Iranians that we know hate us, there's even reports out that we're gonna go to Venezuela.
That's when and get oil from the thug dictator that we've been trying to get rid of there.
Now, this is madness, especially when you factor in this main part of this argument, and that is we have the resources here to produce all of the oil, all of the gas, all of the coal that we would ever need for well over a hundred years,
some estimates as high as two hundred plus years, and we can simultaneously ratchet up production, and we could be providing our allies with their necessary energy needs, and then we we won't have to make deals with Venezuela.
Then we won't have to have talks with the Iranians.
Then we won't have to be rejected yet again by OPEC and OPEC nations.
We'll be energy independent.
And I've said it before, it's good for national security.
There's whatever in the Straits of Hormuz, where 30 to 40 percent of the world's oil passes through narrow straits, and the Iranians love to take tankers hostage.
And mess with the tankers that are full of oil there.
We don't have to worry about these OPEC countries who won't be making them rich again.
We're not gonna have help out the thug dictatorship in Venezuela.
The Iranian mules were not going to help out, and Vladimir Putin, we're gonna choke off the monies that he desperately needs to fund this war that he started.
Why would we ever do that?
Then we got the economic side of it.
We're at a 40-year high of inflation.
If you increase the world supply, it's simple basic economics, you increase supply and demand remains constant, then it's going to drive down the price and drive it down significantly.
Instead of looking at five, six, seven dollars a gallon for gasoline, we'll we'll go back to two dollars a gallon for gasoline.
That'll be like a tax cut.
Right now, the people that are hurting the most, negatively impacted by Joe's ridiculous energy dependence policies are the poor in the middle class.
If you go grocery shopping or if you go to home depot, if you go to Lowe's, you see the dramatic price increases.
That's because it costs more to ship every item at every store we go to.
It's not hard to figure this out.
Anyway, so we're this is now the direction.
So my question is, well, why if you're gonna negotiate with Iran, Saudi Arabia, OPEC nations, Venezuela, why don't you just negotiate with the governor of Texas and the governor of Oklahoma and all the other energy producing governors in the in the country?
And why don't you go to Alaska and reopen the Anwar, and why don't you allow our energy producers in this country, our energy companies, many of whom already pulled out of Russia, they're not gonna be a part of this.
BP pulled out a number of companies, Shell Oil, I believe, pulled out.
They're not having anything to do with Russia.
And so give them why don't we go back to energy dependence now?
Think of what it does, lowers inflation, lowers the lowers the cost of the lifeblood of our economy.
It helps the poor in the middle class the most because they're disproportionately negatively impacted the worst right now.
It helps every business in this country.
It creates high-paying career jobs in this country.
It helps out our Western European allies once we become a net exporter and we can find the quickest, cheapest ways to get it to our allies to wean them off their dependence on Russia.
I mean, there's it's win-win-win-win-win-win-win all the way across the board.
And that's the one thing, the mysterious reluctance and resistance of Democrats.
Now it's not complicated.
Why?
Because Joe Biden has he's made a decision here.
And he'd rather that Americans pay more for everything that they buy, pay more at the pump, pay more to heat and cool your homes.
He's decided that he would rather go to enemy countries of America and do deals with them, which is so bad for our national security, rather than do the one smart thing and take on these climate alarmist cultists that represent this new Green Deal Democratic Socialist Party and say nope, for national security reasons and economic uh security reasons.
We are now lifting all restrictions on exploration and extraction and energy production in America, and we're asking every oil producing, energy producing company in America to go at their highest, fastest level possible so that we'll achieve energy independence and be able to help out our allies.
That's the answer.
I told you that should have been in his speech, but it wasn't uh at the State of the Union.
You know, crude oil surged 20% today to near 140 dollars a barrel for the first time since 08.
Average prices now for up over $4 a gallon for the first time since you got it, 2008.
Energy market traders are betting on $200 a barrel.
Now, if you ask where the American people are, 70%, according to Rasmussen, favor increasing U.S. oil and gas production.
Elon Musk's statement, and obviously he's acknowledging this would negatively impact his company Tesla, but the sustainable energy solutions cannot react instantaneously to make up for Russian oil and gas exports.
And he said, hate to say it, but we need to increase oil and gas output immediately.
Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures.
Good for him.
I admire that.
House Democrats, what do they do?
They block the bill to reopen the Keystone XL pipeline.
Biden officials have pressured Democrats on the Russian oil ban.
They don't want to baning oil from Putin's Russia.
Why wouldn't that?
Why would they not want why wouldn't they see the wisdom in stopping to fund Putin's territorial ambitions?
Axios, Biden's advisors, weigh Saudi Arabia trip for more oil.
How embarrassing is this begging the Saudis?
You know how stupid they must think we are.
They know we have vast resources of oil and gas.
They know we can be energy independent.
They've got to be looking at us and thinking you're the dumbest people on earth.
That you're coming to us begging us to produce more energy when you could be producing your own energy.
And then for all the environmental extremists, if if you are once of those people, please call the program and explain to me how Mother Earth is impacted.
It doesn't matter if you're importing the oil from Venezuela or OPEC or Saudi Arabia or Iran or Russia, or you just drill for oil in the U.S., explain to me what what's the difference in terms of the impact on Mother Earth?
Because I would imagine it's equally the same.
Although I think we do it in a cleaner way than they do, which would be good.
I can't believe U.S. officials are meeting with the regime in Venezuela to displa to discuss oil exports and replacing Russia's.
Now, some of these countries might do it, but Putin might also, you know, put the screws to them to prevent it.
Also, uh, I love what Joe Manchin said.
You know, he said all options need to remain on the table, meaning we gotta become energy independent.
And he also said on the no-fly zone, we should take nothing off the table.
He's right on that front, too.
Um, so I have some some good news.
I think the Ukrainian resistance and the Ukrainian army has done better than I predicted they will.
I'm just not willing to get to the point where some people are thinking, you know, this this resistance, I I sense and this resistance might be able to push Putin back.
They might have some victories under their belt, but I would expect scorched earth and from Vladimir Putin.
If that happens, he's already killing men, women, and children.
He's now he called for a phony ceasefire to allow civilians to get out of the country and then bomb the living Adam Schiff out of them.
And we have the videos and we have the still pictures.
See, killing children and women and men.
There's only one thing that gives me a minor hope that there might be an out here where Putin could save face and and this unnecessary war would end.
Um there was a Russian spokesperson that talked about a ceasefire today, stating that Russia told Ukraine they are prepared to halt their military operations in a moment, if in fact Ukraine agrees to several conditions.
Now, first let me give you my doubt.
They were supposed to have a ceasefire to allow refugees to make it across the border, they're going to Poland, adjacent countries and nearby nations.
And I gotta give a lot of credit to the neighboring countries because they've opened their arms to these refugees, and many people are taking them into their homes and and just opening up their hearts, especially in Poland, uh, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, etc.
Um, they've done a great job of trying to help people uh escape, especially women and children.
So I have my I I say this with some the four conditions would be that Ukraine cease all military action, that Ukraine changed their constitution to enshrine military neutrality, that they acknowledge Crimea as Russian territory after the invasion and recognize these two breakoff republics that was used by Putin as the pretext to send in um peacekeeping troops,
which turned out to be an all-out invasion and war.
So can you trust Vladimir Putin?
The answer is no.
You can't trust him.
Um the fact that that 40 mile convoy hasn't made it to Kiev tells me that this is far more difficult than Putin said, that doesn't give me hope and confidence that this is anywhere near over and that there still can't be a massacre, however.
