| Well, we're coming to your city. | |
| I was saying you were country sound. | |
| Let me just say this. | |
| I agree with what Senator Lindsey 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. | |
| Welcome to the revolution. | |
| Yeah, we're coming to your city. | |
| Gonna play our guitars and sing you a contra song. | |
| Sean Hennedy, the new Sean Hennity Show. | |
| More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America. | |
| This is a special edition of the Sean Hennity Show. | |
| America trapped behind enemy lines. | |
| Day number 205. | |
| 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 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. | |
| Average price of gasoline is now at its highest number in over a decade, well over $4 a gallon. | |
| And then depending on what state you live in, then you, of course, you have your state tax and your local tax. | |
| And if you're in New York, you're city taxed. | |
| Everyone gets a piece. | |
| I now see places in New York City with what, $5 a gallon for gasoline. | |
| And I'm paying well over $4,450 a gallon. | |
| What was it during Trump? | |
| I remember paying $2. | |
| I mean, he even said at one point, we're going to have, you want to pay $5, $6, $7 a barrel for oil? | |
| That's what's going to happen. | |
| So 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 increase, look, it impacts every single thing we do and every single thing we buy. | |
| It costs more to fill up your tank, heat, 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 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 mark. | |
| Food prices, by the way, have gone up a whopping 20.7% year to year. | |
| And that's going to hit a record high coming up this month. | |
| U.S. gas prices are rising at the fastest pace ever. | |
| According to AAA, 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 love that car, 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, oil, and gas, natural gas production. | |
| 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 foxnews.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, you're just raking in billions and billions of dollars every day, especially with the amount of money of energy imports by Western nations and the United States. | |
| We're still importing oil from Russia today. | |
| Then Pete Buttajud let the cat out of the bag. | |
| It turns out to be true that 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. | |
| I guarantee you this deal is going to be far worse than even the Obama-Biden deal with Iran. | |
| They just never learned their lesson. | |
| So we're going to beg all of these countries, OPEC countries, many of whom hate us. | |
| We're going to beg the Iranians that we know hate us. | |
| There's even reports out that we're going to go to Venezuela 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 100 years, some estimates as high as 200 plus years. | |
| And we can simultaneously ratchet up production and we could be providing our allies with their necessary energy needs. | |
| And then 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 because whatever in the Straits of Hormuz, where 30 to 40% 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. | |
| We won't be making them rich again. | |
| We're not going to help out the thug dictatorship in Venezuela. | |
| The Iranian mullahs were not going to help out. | |
| And Vladimir Putin, we're going to 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 $5, $6, $7 a gallon for gasoline, we'll go back to $2 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 and 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 this is now the direction. | |
| So my question is: well, why if you're going to 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 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 going to 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 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, 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 new Green Deal Democratic Socialist Party and say, | |
| nope, for national security reasons and economic 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 at the State of the Union. | |
| You know, crude oil surged 20% today to near $140 a barrel for the first time since 2008. | |
| Average price is now 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 did they do? | |
| They blocked the bill to reopen the Keystone XL pipeline. | |
| Biden officials have pressured Democrats on the Russian oil ban. | |
| They don't want to ban importing 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, way Saudi Arabia tripped 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 you are one 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'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 discuss oil exports and replacing Russia's. | |
| Now, some of these countries might do it, but Putin might also put the screws to them to prevent it. | |
| Also, I love what Joe Manchin said. | |
| He said all options need to remain on the table, meaning we got to 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. | |
| So I have 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 resistance, I sense this resistance might be able to push Putin back. | |
| They might have some victories under their belt, but I would expect scorched earth 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 Shift out of them. | |
| And we have the videos and we have the still pictures. | |
| He's killing children and women and men. | |
| There's only one thing that gives me minor hope that there might be an out here where Putin could save face and this unnecessary war would end. | |
| 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 got to 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 just opening up their hearts, especially in Poland, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, etc. | |
| They've done a great job of trying to help people escape, especially women and children. | |
| So I have my, I say this with some. | |
| The four conditions would be that Ukraine cease all military action, that Ukraine change 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 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. | |
| The fact that that 40-mile convoy hasn't made it to Kyiv 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. |
