	Day number three hundred and three.
	Hour two Sean Hannity Show, 800 941 Sean, our number, you want to be a part of the program.
	So a lot of issues are obvious for this election year.
	Now that gas is on average $5.10 a gallon, a 41-year high, 42-year high of inflation.
	That's we pay more for everything we get at every store we go to.
	Everybody's feeling the impact of that.
	We have to date the largest migrant caravan on its way to the southern border.
	And if this summer is anything like last summer, Joe's just going to process and release people and give them free phones and transportation to the state of their choice, so that's going to happen.
	Afghanistan, we're now uh we have an official figure, at least 9,000 Americans left behind and abandoned.
	Thousands of people with green cards, our Afghan allies, billions in equipment.
	Uh we now, you know, we're we're looking at the worst economy and the worst situation in terms of America's standing in the world that we've ever had.
	Anyway, here to talk about this and so much more is our friend uh from Fox.
	He's the co-host of Fox and Friends Weekend.
	Uh he has a new book out tomorrow.
	We have it on Hannity.com.
	It's called Battle for the American Mind, Uprooting a Century of Miseducation.
	Two issues that will be in the forefront of people's minds, but beyond the economy, obviously, and certainly law and order uh and safety and security of Americans.
	Uh Mr. Haig says, Sir, how are you?
	Hey, Sean, doing well.
	How are you?
	Uh, congrats on the new book tomorrow.
	Uh, we appreciate you being with us.
	As you look at the big picture, I mean, look, the polls show it.
	Joe Biden in the low thirties pretty much has an average of of any respectable poll uh in terms of his approval rating.
	There's not a single policy thing that they can run on.
	So it looks like they're leaning on abortion, gun restrictions, and the usual Republicans are racist, sexist, misogynists.
	Oh, and January 6th.
	Does that get them does that stop the bleeding in terms of a wave election that we're anticipating?
	No, of course not.
	It does not.
	Uh I will say, first of all, we know this left-wing ideas don't work.
	So when they try to make things happen towards some government utopia, it fails.
	They promise heaven they deliver hell.
	But what they are are able to deliver on is their ideology, and that's where this is not just incompetent.
	You know this.
	This is intentional when it comes to border policies and criminality and democrat-run cities.
	But it does start to kick back at them once quality of life erode so quickly that even liberals, not leftists, old school democrats start to reject them.
	But that does tie into my book a little bit in that what they're counting on, the leftists is a pipeline of young kids with in education turned into indoctrination, who 10, 20, 30 years years from now are so uh baptized in the woke lexicon and worldview that they will continue to advocate for these things.
	So old school liberals who came out of older education system, they're rejecting it.
	But pretty soon they'll be overwhelmed in numbers by the amount of young people who are effectively cultural Marxists because of what our schools are teaching today, and it's not just universities anymore, it's K through twelve, Sean.
	It's public and private, and they are pressing their advantage.
	COVID 19 exposed it in the classroom.
	Uh, but as Hemingway said, it happened gradually until it happened suddenly.
	And it was a 100-year project that now shows up as critical race theory and gender pronouns at the age of six.
	So we can win all the political victories we want.
	I think it looks great for Republicans at 22 and 24, but if we're losing the affections and uh world view of our youngest kids were in serious trouble.
	You know it's interesting.
	When Reagan was president, and I'm not sure if you know this or not, it does it it's not a test, um they did a landmark study.
	It was called A Nation at Risk.
	And our own government concluded that quote what had happened to America's educational system, were this done by an outside entity country force, it would be tantamount to an act of war.
	Now that's going back to the eighties.
	Now you think of wokeism today, you think of indoctrination today, you you look at what happened in the governor's race, the the gubernatorial race in the Commonwealth of Virginia and Terry McCauloff's comments or Joe Biden's comments to teachers, you know, they're your kids when they're in your classroom,
	no they're not those kids have mothers and fathers and parents uh and people that should be instilling the values in them and we pay more per capita per student on education than any other country in the industrialized world with the worst results, Pete.
	I mean, I think there's what, thirteen public high schools in Baltimore where not a single kid in that high school is proficient in math and reading.
	Uh we're failing these kids spectacularly so if you get rid of DR, my thought is this you got to break this unholy alliance with the teachers unions and and the Democratic party and if you can break that, you know, think of the opportunities think of if Republicans want outreach to to demographics like African Americans,
	Hispanic Americans, I would argue you provide them law and order so they can be safe and secure in every town and every city and you give them a good education voucher, uh school choice, then I would argue the Republican Party will become the new common sense American party.
	And forget about Republican or Democrat.
	I'm not a Republican I'm I'm a registered conservative in New York.
	Uh it already is the party of any common sense when it applies it.
	You're exactly right universal school choice.
	We call for educational tax credits uh in battle for the American mind.
	Every every uh parent should be able to choose public private Christian secular what school they go to the best schools will rise to the top Democrats fail.
	That study you talk about in the eighties that was just that was effectively talking about writing, reading and arithmetic.
	And we were we've been failing kids in the classroom on the basics for decades.
	The Department of Education knows that it isn't delivering.
	It's the layering on top of both the failing and the indoctrination that makes this moment scary.
	And we start the book out by saying only the educated are free.
	And that comes in two forms, the basic ingredients of reading, writing, and arithmetic.
	Can you organize your thoughts?
	But then also, do you have a liberated mind so you can identify fallacies?
	You can identify false arguments.
	You can identify demagoguery.
	So you don't fall for the rhetoric of would-be tyrants or others who want to take away your freedoms.
	That is trained in the mind, and we're not doing any of that right now.
	And Republicans, you're exactly right, conservatives, patriots, whatever you want to label them.
	should be issue number one because if we lose the minds of our kids we will lose our country no matter how many elections we win.
	You know I but you and I have had private conversations about this.
	I'm I'm glad my kids you know one of my my kids graduated college another one's got only got two years left thank goodness um but as bad as it was when they were growing up in terms of wokeism and you know in and grade school they want to show Al Gore's Earth and the balance that's nothing compared to what the kids today are facing and you're living it you have a lot of kids.
	I have a lot of kids and I'm trying to live it out I'm trying I've found classical Christian education.
	Finally this school year we'll have all seven of them in classically Christian schools.
	We've had to make changes in our lives to do that and the book calls for that.
	I I actually think I'm not I don't mean to be pessimistic but in the near term when it comes to public schools I think we retreat.
	We have to we we should make dramatic calls to to find ways whether it's homeschooling or co-ops or pods or uh or classical Christian schools we need a generation of kids that are not part of the group think of public schools if we're going to hope to recapture who we are.
	So it's a pretty five chapters of solutions in the book, Sean that that we're hoping compel people to to make that choice.
	But first you gotta you've got to realize the depth of the problem and it's a one hundred year project.
	Sean you know this as well as anybody Mark Levin's wrote in a great book on American Marxism.
	This is American Marxism uh for education, exposing what they really truly want to do.
	You know, if if if all of these issues that we believe are going to be paramount in people's minds, it's the education it's the uh it's the economy stupid and inflation and gas prices, and then you pay more for everything you buy everywhere you go.
	Uh that's the obvious.
	That's the low-hanging fruit.
	But I really believe we learned something in Virginia, and that is parents have had it.
	They don't want their kids indoctrinated.
	They're they're tired with lackluster at best, mediocrity uh at best uh of a public education.
	Parents are looking for alternatives.
	It's very expensive in terms of sending kids to a good private school.
	Uh a lot of people can't afford it.
	And then there's the other option of homeschooling, which takes a commitment second to none.
	I mean, it's a heavy lift for parents to do that.
	Very heavy lift.
	And I and I that's why we're trying to why why the book is so strong on the history and the background so that you understand that protesting at a school board once is not going to get it done.
	Trying to deprogram your kids uh uh on Sunday morning at church and every evening over the dinner table is not gonna be able to undo the 40 hours a week that effectively the Democrats have in the hands uh uh in public schools.
	They ripped God out, they're ripping patriotism out, now they're inserting agendas in.
	If there's one thing we should sacrifice on, there's one thing we should be bold on, it is education.
	Saving money, second jobs, moving your family, don't default to the local school and assume it's good.
	Do your research.
	I think this book, Battle for the American Mind, is central to the U.S. See, but I don't even think any of these social issues should be brought up at all until, you know, considering we spend more per capita on every kid uh versus the industrialized world on their education, uh and we have the worst results, why don't we just focus on reading, writing, math, science, computers?
	And if parents, for example, uh maybe they're uncomfortable talking about issues of of sexuality with their kids, well, a curriculum could be made up by any public school.
	Parents can opt in and their kids can go to an after school program that is approved by the parents that coincides with their values.
	I would bet 98% of them would not opt their kids in any way, and it would take away any any uh really imperative time necessary to give the kids the basics.
	Um it seems like a pretty sensible alternative, but nobody wants to talk about sense.
	Of course I agree with you, but those public schools have to grapple with the unions which control the pipeline of teachers at this point.
	But if we could get to something like that, we'd be able to do that.
	Well, the unions got the right COVID policy during coronavirus.
	That's right.
	That's right.
	They are So the issue is all right.
	So if if we are to create a new Republican Party that literally is a melting pot party, and I think this is the best opportunity they have, it's gotta include law and order, safety security, every town, every city, get away from the insanity of of defund, dismantle, no bail laws.
	And then if we focus on the basics of education, offer school choice, offer vouchers, offer charter schools, whatever the whatever manifestation it takes on, you break the unholy alliance with Democrats and teachers' unions.
	Uh, how big a factor does that become in creating a a new majority conservative party, common sense party in the country?
	That's how you that's how you absolutely fight the whole idea of equity from the left, because they've gotten away from equality.
	And what did equality mean?
	It meant equality of opportunity.
	And what's the best if you can't determine you know what family someone grows up in or what religion they're in, what can you determine if you're in public life?
	The type of education they get.
	And by equalizing educational opportunity, you are the real party of equality, and you've got a better product than equity mongers who think they can have equal outcomes.
	So by addressing education, we get at you know, I talk about Kamala's root causes, you get one of the root causes of the inequity, the inequality we have in our society.
	It would make the Republican Party even more of the populist man of the people party than it is right now.
	Donald Trump set us on this track.
	I don't think they quite did enough on education.
	The 1776 Commission was a good start, but is at the end of the term.
	This is something we need to grab.
	And hopefully this book, Battle for the American Mind, is the type of thing that'll help Republican lawmakers realize how big the problem is and how bold they gotta go.
	Parents now have to think in the back of their minds they're gonna be investigated as domestic terrorists if they show up and and maybe get a little loud at a school board meeting.
	Uh Exactly right.
	I mean that that's part of the reason why I feel like if you look at the history from who created the teachers' unions to who created the Department of Education to who creates the teachers' colleges to what the prerogatives now of what they teach and how they teach it.
	I think protesting at school boards is great, but it's not going to get it done either and oh by the way the government decided to categorize you as a terrorist in the process all of that leads me to believe we need an educational insurgency which is a form of warfare I studied which is war of the weak against the strong because right now the teachers unions and the education department are the powerful 800 pound guerrillas.
	is a way to do it.
	And if we don't, we're going to lose our country.
	And I don't say that loosely.
	We will lose our country.
	We're already losing the country.
	Quick break.
	More with Pete Hankseth on the other side.
	Battle for the American Mind, Uprooting a Century of Miseducation is his new book as we talk about that.
	And obviously the upcoming midterms, 800-941-SHAWN on number.
	Your calls at the bottom of the half hour as we continue.
	We're with my friend, colleague, co-host, of Fox and Friends weekend Pete Heggseth is with us.
	Let me ask you a question I was watching this morning and you had Governor Ron DeSantis on the set on Fox and Friends and you brought up the issue of whether he's uh considering a wrong run for 2024 and whether if Donald Trump got any he'd challenge him what did you think of the answer?
	Well he didn't answer.
	I mean I don't blame him.
	I tried a couple of times he didn't uh I I don't think there's any reason for him to answer at this point.
	Why would he?
	He's got his own election to his own election.
	I I I think anyone that's focused on 2024 at this point is is really off the mark don't you?
	Yeah he I don't think he is either I think he's running to win in twenty two but look at the hearings going on right now Sean you're watching them this is all about they're all about Donald Trump.
	They're trying to prevent him from running in 2024.
	So what we're already in that context is just no doubt hopefully uh DeSantis cleans their clock in Florida in twenty two and he'd be a very viable guy.
	So we'll we'll see.
	Listen he's done a great job in Florida no doubt about it.
	Hey there I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
	And I'm Carol Markowitz.
	We've been in political media for a long time.
	Long enough to know that it's gotten well a little insane.
	That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
	We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic without yelling and with a healthy dose of humor.
	We don't take ourselves too seriously but we do take the truth seriously.
	So if you're into common sense, sanity and some occasional SAS, you're our kind of people.
	Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen I'm Ben Ferguson and I'm Ted Cruz three times a week we do our podcast Verdict with Ted Cruz.
	Nationwide we have millions of listeners every Monday, Wednesday and Friday we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
	And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
	We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
	So download Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
	All right, 25 now to the top of the hour, 800-941-SHAWN.
	If you want to be a part of the program...
	I mentioned this earlier in the program uh Joe Biden's in a heap of trouble.
	Democrats want him gone.
	They see his numbers they see his fail policies they see as a cognitive mess.
	Everybody knows it.
	It's interesting to watch the varying reactions of some people it's the in the New York Times frustrated Democrats ready to jump dump Joe Biden.
	Now this is all planted by other Democrats to get rid of Joe Biden.
	And it's just interesting to watch it unfold AOC declined to uh endorse Biden for 2024 I found the way she said it more interesting than actually what she said because we know darn well she doesn't want anything to do with Joe Biden.
	Joe Biden is not the hardcore new Green Deal Democrat that she wants.
	As bad as his policies have been, in large part Joe's war on energy, as we played earlier in the program, is because of this progressive wing that now controls the Democratic Party.
	Anyway, she's asked the question this weekend.
	Here's how she answers.
	He is saying he's going to run again in 2024.
	Will you support him?
	You know, if the president chooses uh to run again in 2024, I mean, first of all, I'm focused on winning this majority right now, uh, and preserving a majority this year in twenty twenty two.
	So we'll cross that bridge when we get to it, but um, but I think if if the president has a vision, and that's something certainly we're all willing to entertain and examine when the when the time comes.
	That's not true.
	Okay, let's ignore that being.
	Yeah, you know, I think uh we should endorse when we get to it.
	But I I sub I believe that the president's been doing a very good job uh so far, and um, you know, should he run again?
	I think that w I you know, I think it's it's we'll take a look at the job on what?
	Anyway.
	And but interesting the Sunday shows, all they wanted to focus on was January sixth.
	Do you know they ignored completely the attempted assassination of a Supreme Court justice?
	Oh, that's not important.
	You know, Washington Post editorial board giving uh Biden absolving him of any fault.
	Five dollar a gallon gasoline is largely Putin's fault.
	We have shown you graph after graph after graph that showed that long before Putin ever invaded Ukraine, the gas prices were going through the roof and inflation was going through the roof.
	Anyway, eight hundred nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	John is in New Joycey.
	Hey John, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Sean, uh thanks for having me.
	What's going on?
	Yeah, you know, I just wanted to comment on the PGA, the uh Saudi League, and uh I'm a European soccer fan, and uh it just seems a parallel like what uh Arab money, the big money like Saudi Arabia, uh guitar, um Emirates have been, you know, buying uh different leagues, uh the English league, uh the s Paris Saint Germain putting a lot of money in there, they buy all the best players.
	Uh they're really changing and shape shaping European soccer with their big money.
	And it's you know, Guitar's gonna be the one to get the uh World Cup this year because of their money.
	Well, and you know, you gotta think about this too.
	This should frustrate everybody.
	You know why these countries are so wealthy?
	Because we are so stupid.
	And I'm I'm not saying we the people.
	The people are smart, although we do get the governments we deserve.
	Nobody paid a lot of attention, as I pointed out earlier, to what it was that Joe Biden was saying during the campaign.
	He was telling everybody he's waging war on fossil fuels.
	Now that one exchange with Donald Trump says, Whoa, this is very important what he just said here about eliminating fossil fuels and and only using renewable energies.
	Trump nailed it in that debate, didn't get credit for it, but he nailed it.
	And it the the point is we can be that rich.
	So put that aside.
	I w I want to focus on your question, though.
	And Gary Player had an interesting take on it.
	I've met Gary Plair, I've interviewed Gary Player, one of the greatest golfers of all time.
	What a he's he's just a fun, fun, really great guy to be around.
	And very impressive human being, still plays amazing golf.
	Um I know because I occasionally have talked to him.
	And the thing that he said, he goes, you know, it's really easy on the surface to look at these players and say, well, they have they shouldn't do business with Saudi Arabia.
	And on the other hand, he says mo uh so many of these players don't make money.
	And he's right about that.
	There's only one big winner on any given weekend, and yet you have hundreds and hundreds of golfers.
	And these guys are putting their their heart and their soul into all of this, and it becomes at that point a business decision.
	Now, I'm the first person that was making the argument that politics and sports don't do very well together.
	So I'm a little torn though in this case because I've never liked the Saudis.
	I never trusted the Saudis.
	Um I think deep down they're just duplicitous and they hate our guts.
	I hate the way they treat women and minorities And and so on and so forth.
	It's it's not a country I would want to do business with.
	But on the other hand, if this is about making money, providing a living for you and your family and a very good living.
	I mean, are you really going to fault people for playing golf and focused on the golf, or are we going to demand now that our athletes get involved in politics?
	Like we really can't have it both ways, can we?
	No, I I think you're right, but I do have a second point.
	I mean, uh the importance of having the Saudis uh uh other Arab uh countries like Trump did to go into peace deals with the mid uh for peace in the Middle East with Israel, and then using them together with us to go against Iran is a bigger picture.
	And you need them to go after Iran.
	I think we really do need that.
	And uh Iran with a nuclear weapon is disastrous.
	It's not disastrous for the PGA.
	Well, if you uh listen, if Koshogi didn't happen, it would have been it wouldn't have been an issue.
	And but it did happen.
	Because prior to that was Trump was able to pull off was pretty much miraculous, something I didn't think was ever possible, and that is an alliance emerged between Israel, the U.S., the Saudis, the Jordanians, Egyptians, and the Emirates to stop Iranian hegemony and stop Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons and and to win that battle.
	And now that alliance is shattered because I I really don't get it.
	Joe Biden uh just doesn't have a clue on foreign policy, and we now see that the Saudis are even in negotiations, according to reports with the Iranians.
	I mean, you can't make this stuff up.
	Listen, at the end of the day, everyone's got to live with their decision.
	Um I've been offered money to speak in foreign countries.
	Number one, I don't want to give up my time on the weekend.
	I just don't.
	Number two, if it's a country that I have a problem with their value system, it's a no-brainer for me.
	The answer's going to be no.
	I don't I I I just I just don't want the money.
	And but I'm not gonna sit here and judge these guys not knowing what their personal situation is.
	And again, I I'm kind of inclined to keep politics out of sports.
	If it's a good sporting event, a lot of these events are gonna be in the U.S. anyway.
	And they're great golfers that you want to go watch a great golfer or hit a ball, can you really blame them?
	Um anyway, that's up for everyone else to decide.
	Uh CJ, Georgia, next.
	Thanks uh for the call.
	Uh CJ, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	I am doing well.
	Thank you for taking my uh call, Sean.
	Uh first I want to say God bless you and God bless your family.
	Thank you.
	You too, sir.
	That means a lot.
	Uh so I just turned 39 this year.
	Um and I'm uh you know, I keep hearing this stuff, you know, about the January 6th hearing and everything, and what I wanted to touch base on that is uh that's not the real issue that we need to be talking about.
	You know, the real issues are you know, again, what's happening with our economy, uh the indoctrination in our schools, you know, the the real moral things that make our country great and what it is.
	Um you know, and and I I see us heading towards this place, especially with the economy um where we were back in 2008.
	You know, and I think it's worse than that.
	I think we're gonna go back to the Carter years myself.
	But I'm let me let me take a little issue with one thing you said.
	Uh look, a committee that had the intention that was really bipartisan that would prevent what happened not only on January 6th, but in the summer of 2020 from ever happening again, building proper security to protect our institutions to me is a good idea.
	Um, just like securing our schools for our kids, they should have the same security in my view is as our government officials have that we pay for.
	And those are things that we could do.
	You could build uh you know you could build a perimeter and and a nice big, you know, pretty fence around the Capitol and make it really hard for people to breach the Capitol, make sure that doesn't happen again.
	If a lot of people are coming to town, you should have the guard on the ready, especially knowing what happened in the summer of 2020 and what happened on January 6th.
	They're not looking for answers, though.
	And are there other important issues that they don't want to talk about?
	Sure, they don't want to talk that no Democrat wants to talk about the state of the economy.
	They don't want to talk about the high price of gases of that gases per gallon.
	They don't want to talk about inflation at its record.
	They don't want to talk about the biggest caravan on record on its way to America.
	They don't want to talk about any of that.
	That's kind of my point is um whether people are aware of it or not.
	I'm sure there's more than just I. Uh but what it comes down to is they want you to pay attention to what the left hand is doing so you don't see what the right hand is doing.
	It's a distraction.
	It's look, they the all the Democrats have, I've given the buckets away.
	The Democrats are gonna run on January sixth, abortion, guns, and the old democratic playbook, Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic, blah blah blah.
	That's what the that's all they've got.
	Can you think of a single successful program that they've had?
	Okay, now you want to bring in gun control.
	Um, unfortunately, I don't see anybody saying that, you know, before you become president, you have to go under a psychological evaluation.
	Um I need a cognitive test for this president for sure.
	Absolutely.
	You know, so well, and and here's the thing.
	I d you could be the dumbest person in the world.
	And out of all of the decisions that you have to make, at least one of them would be right.
	Just just by chance.
	You could not possibly be wrong about everything all the time.
	But understand where what what is the driving philosophy?
	Like, for example, my political philosophy is rooted in conservatism, supplied sideism, uh peace through strength.
	There's certain core principles that guide my my politics or my the philosophy behind it.
	Well, the left has their philosophy, and we know what it is.
	It's the climate alarmist religious cult, and they cling to this phony science of theirs like it's a religion.
	And every decision they make is filtered through the prism of their cult.
	And their cult is new Green Deal Socialism, climate alarmist, you know, cultism.
	And and that's why they're making every choice the way they're making it.
	It's not by accident.
	They said they do it.
	You know, let me let me go back to, and I appreciate the call, but listen in on uh I want to play want you to hear this.
	Donald Trump during the debate with Joe Biden says, Whoa, whoa, whoa, listen to what he just said.
	Listen.
	Would he close down the oil industry?
	Or would you close down the oil?
	Oh, that's what I think.
	It is a big statement.
	That's a good thing.
	Because I would stop why would you do that?
	Because the oil industry pollutes significantly.
	I said here's the deal.
	But it's a big thing.
	Well, actually, let me finish the statement.
	Because it has to be replaced by renewable energy over time.
	Over time.
	And I'd stop giving to the oil industry, I'd stop giving them federal subsidies.
	You won't give federal subsidies to the to the gas, excuse me, to the uh to uh solar and wind.
	Yeah.
	Why are we giving it to oil industry?
	We actually do it to solar and wind.
	We have to do that.
	That's maybe the biggest statement in terms of business.
	That's the biggest statement.
	Okay, because basically what he's saying is that the he says he is going to destroy the oil industry.
	Will you remember that Texas?
	Will you remember that Pennsylvania, Oklahoma?
	Here's one more cut.
	This this is so critical.
	And this is their religious cult.
	Listen.
	If we don't stop fuels, we're all dead.
	Doing away with any subsidies for fossil fuels, number one.
	Number two, holding them liable for what they have done, particularly in those cases where your underserved neighborhoods and you you know the deal.
	Okay.
	And by the way, when they don't or in the deliberate put them in jail.
	You know, I want you to just take a look, okay?
	You don't have to agree.
	But I want you to look in my eyes.
	I guarantee you, I guarantee you, we're gonna end fossil fuel, and I am not gonna cooperate with it.
	Okay.
	Would there be any place for fossil fuels, including coal and fracking in a Biden administration?
	No, it would be we would we would work it out.
	We would make sure it's eliminated.
	Eliminate fossil fuels.
	Doesn't that pretty much tell you everything you need to know about where these decisions are coming from?
	In other words, they don't care.
	They've been watching gas prices go up.
	And then to go to countries like Saudi Arabia, OPEC countries, Venezuela, Iran, and beg them to produce energy when we were self-sufficient when when he first became president.
	It's humiliating, it's embarrassing, but even worse than all that, it's so dumb.
	It's the lifeblood of the world's economy.
