Sean Hennity, the new Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
This is a special edition of the Sean Hannity Show.
America Trapped Behind Enemy Lines.
Day number 321.
Hour 2 Sean Hannity Show.
Happy Friday for those of you that are off on the weekend anyway.
800-941 Sean on number.
You want to be a part of the program?
Peter Ducey.
I mean, I thought it was pretty good, the exchanges with him and Jen Saki, Circleback.
These are now becoming even more epic in terms of just a downright beatdown of Doocy versus the new White House press secretary, Corrine Jean-Pierre, as she had an exchange yesterday with Peter over the issue of gas prices.
Let me play some of those for you.
Why is the president saying that inflation is worse everywhere but here?
Because what we have seen across the globe, first of all, inflation is a global challenge, as we have said.
It is caused by clearly the pandemic, this once-in-a-generation pandemic that we are coming out of.
And also, most recently, the war that Putin started in Ukraine.
I dare get Bloody, though.
He says that inflation is worse everywhere but here.
That's not true.
The U.S. has worse inflation than Germany, France, Japan, Canada, India, Italy, Saudi Arabia.
So why is he saying that?
What we are saying is that when you talk about inflation, it is a global thing.
Because we don't need to do that.
What we need them to do is with the oil that's out there, we need them to refine that oil so that prices, so that the capacity could go up and then prices would go down, inherently go down.
And so, I know the president once said that he was going to end fossil fuel.
Is that now off the table?
No, we are going to continue to move forward with our clean energy proposal, our climate change proposal.
Is that a priority?
Climate change over gas.
No, that's not what we're saying.
We're saying that we have to answer the question.
First of all, you can do both at the same time.
It's like a comedy show because that's the one thing they won't do, the one obvious answer to the biggest problem we have and the biggest that's having the biggest impact on inflation.
And I love the pushback by Peter Doocy.
Oh, this inflation is a global challenge.
Well, it's a global challenge, but ours is far worse than Germany, France, Japan, Canada, India, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and other countries on top of that.
It's pretty unbelievable.
I mean, it's almost like a layup now every day for Peter Doocy because they don't have good answers for any of this.
Anyway, we'll get the take of our friend Mark Simone, morning show host on our flagship in New York, AM710, W-O-R, and Joe Concha, Fox News contributor, columnist with the Hill.
You make a hell of a media host.
I hear they might have an opening soon on fake news, CNN, you know, but I'd hate to lose you, but I'm just hearing rumors.
I'm reading them on the internet.
You can't trust the internet, right, Joe?
CNN, the Concha News Network.
You know, it has to replace.
If you go there, you'll never be on this show again.
That's all I have to say.
A tree falling in the forest type of scenario, right?
Yeah, kind of like that.
That's the end of everything.
Let me start with you, Mark Simone.
I mean, it's like a layup for Peter.
It's so simple.
It's so basic.
It's so fundamental.
It's so obvious to everybody except the climate alarmist, religious cult members that are brainwashed.
Well, you know, the problem is all the fact-checkers are corrupt.
AP, Washington Post, factcheck.org.
They're corrupt, right?
Totally corrupt.
Look at Joe Biden made that speech filled with whoppers the other day.
They went silent for three days.
If you said one wrong thing, they'd be publishing it day and night.
If Trump said any of this, they wouldn't.
Oh, my gosh.
By the way, they're still publishing for the 5,000th time my text messages.
I'm like, still?
I mean, you're still posting it?
Oh, my gosh.
We don't have freedom anymore, Mark Simone.
You just played a pretty big exchange.
Where are the fact-checkers fact-checking that?
Well, by the way, who's going to fact-check the fact-checkers?
Because they're wrong 90% of the time anyway.
You know, just like they fact-check Biden's laptop or Russia collusion.
I mean, they've dragged this nation in two presidential elections, Joe Concha.
We had three years of never-ending lies.
Hillary Clinton, we know, signed off on the Alpha Bank Trump tower servers that supposedly had contact with this Russian bank.
And we know she paid for the dirty Russian disinformation dossier.
And everybody got it wrong.
And without exception, none of them have owned up to how wrong they were.
And Hillary Clinton also talks a lot about stolen elections.
The Russians stole the election just like Stacey Abrams does.
That's okay if they do it, right?
It depends on what letter you have next to your name.
But I love the best fact check of all time was in 2020 when Donald Trump said, I think it was in April or May, that we could have a vaccine available to the public by the end of the year.
And fact-checkers, who knew they had this sort of technology, traveled through time, probably in a DeLorean 1985 DeLorean 1.21 gigawatts, boom.
And they fact-checked and said.
All right, by the way, Mark Simone, you know, Concha's showing off here.
Keep going, Joe.
Back to the future reference.
Mark knows that, of course.
But you get the point.
They fact-checked something that hadn't happened yet and said it was impossible for a vaccine to come.
And of course, it did.
Back to the press secretary, the current one, and Corine Jean-Pierre.
I mean, her performance to this point, guys, she is unsteady.
She's not confident.
She is egregiously unprepared for these press briefings.
It's one of the hardest white-collar jobs you could have, I think.
But it doesn't appear that she's prepared at all.
John Kirby should be in that position.
He's the former Pentagon spokesperson.
He at least is articulate.
He's at least professional and at least has some credibility.
She, as you said, is saying things like it's a global challenge with inflation that takes about 14 seconds to fact-check in the Google eyes.
I got to give her credit.
I mean, I think she's more articulate, certainly, than our own vice president with every word salad that she puts out there every day.
You know, the giggling vice president, Kamala Harris.
I haven't even heard her speak in a long time, Karis, right?
Well, she's setting up the new misinformation, you know, disinformation Orwellian nightmare for the Biden administration.
She's done such a great job on everything else.
Right.
The border, that's taken care of, so we could check that part off, right?
Voters' rights, so-called, that she was fighting for.
Yeah, that worked out well.
Look at Georgia.
Boy, they doubled their voter roll under those Jim Crow 2.0 laws.
Yeah, so you're right.
I guess you could say that Corine Jean-Pierre is more articulate than Kamala Harris, but that's like being the skinniest kid at Fat Camp, right?
I mean, it doesn't really mean all that much, Sean.
All right, you're going to get crushed now for fat shaming.
What do they call that, Mark Simone?
What do they call it?
It's not PC.
You can't say anything without getting in trouble.
Well, what if I call myself, I got a fat stomach?
Am I not allowed to be honest?
Oh, no, you definitely, because the fact checkers will confirm it left and right.
That's not exactly what I'm saying.
It's getting more flat because I've been eating my paleo diet.
I've been sticking to a pretty, it's like a regimen now for me.
And Mark, I can attest to this.
My son met Sean a couple of weeks ago and hit him as hard as possible in the stomach.
And Sean didn't even flinch.
Now, he's in kindergarten, but still, he said, Daddy, that was like hitting a brick wall.
I'm like, wow, Sean, that's 40%.
When you do a few hundred sit-ups and V-ups every day, trust me, your stomach's going to get tighter.
It works.
Wow.
I'm actually now up to 100-pound dumbbells that I can press.
I can do 90, what, 15 times now on each site.
For an old guy, that's not bad, right, Mark Simone?
Hey, I lift five or six plates at a buffet almost every day.
I've seen him do it.
What are you putting on the buffet?
What are you taking out of the buffet?
What am I not taking off the buffet?
It's the greatest invention ever.
I need a good laugh.
I mean, it's like every day, I mean, we all do this.
And I'm looking at the economic situation of this country, and I want to cry.
And I'm like, I guess the only thing we can do at this point is laugh.
We're stuck with two and a half years' worth of this Adam shift.
I mean, Mark, I'll start with you.
I mean, there's no way out, really.
Winning in the midterms, that will help set the stage.
But for real victory, you need to win two elections.
Yeah, I don't want to even say this because I don't want to.
I think the trouble has just begun.
Art Laffer, Steve Moore, Larry Covell, these are our best economists.
They think the recession has begun.
A recession only ends when you do something to end it.
And these guys aren't going to do anything to end it except make things worse.
They've got the dumbest cabinet I have ever seen.
Look at Buttichech.
You figure, how can transportation screw up?
The airlines are all clogged up right now.
The ports are clogged up.
Everything is a disaster.
Diesel-fueled trucks are stopping.
This is all under Budichech, and he's probably the sharpest one in the cabinet.
Quick break more with Mark Simone.
Joe Concha on the other side.
And your call is 800-941-SHAWN, our number.
Looking for fake news?
You won't find it here.
with Sean.
All right, we continue on Friday Roundup.
Mark Simone and Joe Concha with us.
Okay, so let's assume Joey's not running.
Obviously, the New York Times and pretty much even fake news CNN has given up on Joe.
So who's next in line?
I don't see our giggling vice president as a prime candidate.
Are we really going to look at Pete Budajudge as the Democratic hopeful in 2024?
God help us all.
Not with that resume.
Joe Concha.
Yeah, not with that resume.
I mean, when you look at the supply chain crisis and he's done nothing to solve it, and again, he takes paternity leave for two months, doesn't even announce it in August of 2021.
It's only revealed in October.
Who does that during a crisis, right?
You want to spend a couple days of your kid.
I get it completely.
But in this case, come on.
So he's out.
And I look at Andrew Cuomo, not available for comment.
Amy Klopachar?
No, I don't think so.
Elizabeth Warren?
No.
Authenticity.
I mean, who's left on the list?
I mean, is there a governor that maybe has a little bit of charisma that you can think of?
Yeah.
Well, he's not a governor.
He's a senator, but he has the highest approval rating of any senator.
Joe Manchin.
That's Joe Manchin.
He's nearly.
He'll never get the nomination.
They hate him.
He's a man without a party.
Yeah.
You know what, though?
Joe Manchin could have a party.
I think Joe Manchin should join the Republican Party.
Yeah, it's tough, though.
It's tough.
And you're going to have all these idiots jumping.
What's so tough about it?
It's not hard saying you guys are a bunch of jackasses that have gone so woke and far left, I can't associate with you anymore.
I mean, listen, Reagan switched to Switch Party, but he was like 28.
He can't do it at this stage.
It's too late.
It'll be Buttigieg.
That'll be the Democratic company.
They gave him like $200 billion to give out out of that stimulus, and that's to buy favors in upcoming elections.
So you really think it's going to be Buddha Judge?
You're going out on a limb on June 17th, 2022, before the midterm, and you're going to say that in the fall of 2024, it's going to be Pete Budajudge.
Mayor Pete is going to be their nominee.
Only guy in the cabinet that was given that kind of money to pass out in favors, the counties, things where he'll need it.
You know, the thing is, like, you've got to find a vice president dumber than you as impeachment insurance.
Biden was lucky he found Kamala.
Budajedge, Beto O'Rourke.
Perfect.
You've got somebody dumber than him.
That'll be the ticket.
Wow.
What do you think, Joe Concha?
You agree with that?
That's a bold prediction on Mr. Simone's part.
A Buddha Judge Liz Cheney ticket.
Think of the possibilities.
Now, look, the problem is I try to live in a logical common sense world.
And you asked about, you know, maybe a governor that's out there.
Andy Bashir is the governor of Kentucky.
And a lot of people probably haven't heard of him, but he's polling in the 50s in a red state.
So logically, maybe he's the guy who could come across as a modern.
He's got Joe Manchinitis.
He's going to be labeled Joe Manchin.
You think AOC, the squad, you think this new, modern, new Green Deal, radical, climate alarmist, religious cult Democratic Party is going to pick him?
No, I don't.
That's what I mean.
I'm using logic.
So then maybe Mark is right because who's good enough for them that they could get through the nomination process?
AOC, by the way, could run.
She'll be 35 by the time.
I'm all in favor of that.
It would be the most entertaining election of all time, that's for sure.
But then you look at her congressional record, she hasn't passed one law, one bill that she sponsored hasn't even gotten to the point.
Stop dissing our potential 2024 presidential candidate.
Start being nice.
She's great.
I think you should support her.
I think we should put literally, you know, even off her website for people that want to donate and help her out.
I think, okay, let's start an AOC pack.
I think this could be a good thing.
In fact, she's got good initials, you know, it rolls off the tongue.
Easy to kind of absorb.
So, yeah, AOC with Kensington.
You're tapping into something that's true.
And Mark, you can confirm this, being the consummate New Yorker that you are.
I don't know what the hell you love about the city that you live in.
I have no idea.
You love New York City, don't you?
The best restaurants, the best everything, the most fun.
Okay, you pay the most money, the most fun.
Okay, you can pay less money and go to Vegas and have a better time.
All right, so you love New York City.
True or false, is Chucky Schumer afraid of AOC?
Absolutely terrifying.
This is the saddest thing of all.
Guy's in politics 40 years.
He rises to become the most powerful Democrat in the world and starts trembling because this bartender is yelling at him.
I mean, there's no courage.
It's the same thing with Pelosi and Biden.
They're terrified of these young upstarts.
If they had any real courage, they would stand up to them.
And they'd win if they did.
Did you hear Joe Biden yesterday?
Let me play a couple of cuts for you.
Biden starts his speech at the White House with words of condolences.
He's really, really, really heartfelt and thoughtful here.
Listen.
And by the way, my sympathies to the family of your CFO, who dropped dead very unexpectedly.
My best of their family.
Don't keep the laugh.
I feel awful for the family.
I mean, sorry, your CFO dropped freaking dead.
Deal don't even remember the guy's name.
He just said the guy, the CFO guy.
Yeah, I think he was told that before going in the room.
Oh, by the way, throw some condolences.
But try to use passed away next time, Mr. President.
Maybe try to remember the poor guy's name.
Maybe to show a little heart, a little soul, a little sympathy, maybe a little cognitive awareness.
Just a small tiny bit would be appropriate at this moment.
Well, I got to thank you both.
It's been a bad week of bad news, man.
And it's only going to get worse.
This has only just begun.
Unfortunately, we are all right.
I wish we were all wrong.
We're not.
And we appreciate the time.
Mark Simone, host, morning show, AM710, WOR, New York.
Joe Concha, soon to be the host of his own media show on Fox, I pray.
Fox News contributor, Calmness for the Hill.
Thanks, guys.
All right.
Thanks.
Draw a weekend.
All right, 800-941-Show on our number.
We'll get to your phones next.
Linda, we needed that levity, right?
How bad?
Desperate.
Quick break, right back.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Ham, 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 sass.
You're our kind of people.

More of the best of The Sean Hannity Show coming up.
The new Sean Hannity Show talking about what's right for America with a renewed commitment to keep you up to date on the breaking news stories.
So Joe Biden in delusion land about the economy and about everything else.
We played this earlier in the week, but it's worth revisiting because there's an obvious disconnect between his world, and God only knows which one he's living in on any given day or moment, in any moment, but anyway, versus what we are all suffering through because of his bad economic and energy policies.
I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending.
We're changing people's lives.
Put this inflation in context.
How bad is the surge in prices?
It's awful.
I mean, it's awful, and how people feel about it is even worse.
Inflation nation.
Americans are paying significantly more for basics such as food, fuel, and rents.
I basically just got struggle food and some popsicles.
The consumer price index rose 8.6% in May to a new 40-year high.
Brand new inflation numbers just in.
Senior chief business correspondent Christine Roman's here.
What do they say?
Cruel summer, record high gas prices at play in these numbers, 8.6% year-over-year inflation.
That is, again, the highest since 1981.
When you look at the core rate or the month over month, it's 1% there.
But 8.6%, that's really a tough number to swallow here.
It's gas prices, but the CPI, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, John, saying that it's broad-based.
I mean, you're talking about food, gas, shelter.
Some of these fuel categories are just almost off the charts here.
We're paying more for almost everything.
Food is up more than 10% from last year.
Housing, up 5.5%.
You're paying 37% more for airfare.
And gasoline, up a whopping 48.7%.
AAA numbers show the national average at over $5 per gallon.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Can't go anywhere anymore.
This is the worst consumer sentiment ever measured by the University of Michigan, going all the way back since 1952.
And in terms of why are consumers feeling this bad?
Well, it's pretty clear why they're feeling this bad.
And that is because the Consumer Price Index is the worst it's ever been in a midterm cycle since 74.
It's the worst it's been in any presidential cycle or midterm cycle since 1980.
So it's not much of a surprise.
You can see it.
It's literally off the charts.
I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending.
We're changing people's lives.
All right.
Senator Marsha Blackburn is with us from Tennessee.
Yeah, we're really changing people's lives.
I'm sure the great people of Tennessee are loving their $5 plus a gallon gasoline and a 41-year high of inflation and paying more for everything they buy in every store they go to.
I bet they're giddy about it in Tennessee.
They are so furious with this administration because every decision this administration makes makes their lives worse, whether it's the prices of pump or the grocery store, the cost of clothing, the cost of camps for kids for the summer, the rent that they are paying.
Everything is going up and they are tired of this, Sean.
They are looking for change.
And, you know, they're realizing that Joe Biden, when he was out campaigning and not in the bunker, he would talk about, oh, I'm a moderate Joe.
You know me.
And they're realizing, no, we don't know you at all.
You are basically Bernie Sanders.
And that is not what they voted for.
It's not what they want.
You know, I do think I've named a number of states.
I think we're only at the beginning of really what is going to be some very troubling times for people.
The economic news, everything I've been predicting is coming true with higher interest rates.
New home starts are going to basically come to a screeching halt.
Sales of existing homes, that'll come to a screeching halt.
Home values will now begin to plummet.
The contracting business contractors, well, their business is going to be tougher than ever.
It's not going to be short-lived.
It's going to be going on for many years.
We now have the Atlanta Fed predicting 0% growth for this quarter.
If we have negative growth, that means we are officially in a recession now.
People like Lauren Summers said it was going to be next year.
But states like Tennessee and Florida and Texas and the Carolinas, those are areas that I look at that won't be hit as severely.
I'm not saying that you're not going to be hit by high gas prices or inflation, but because there are so many people migrating out of these states like New York and New Jersey and California and Illinois to states like yours and Florida and Texas, et cetera, I think home prices will, for the most part, they'll decline far less than the rest of the country, if even at all, because demand will be high.
You're exactly right about that.
And we are seeing people vote with their feet.
I run into people every single day who have relocated to Tennessee from California and Illinois and Connecticut and New York, New Jersey.
And they did it because we have no state income tax.
We are considered one of the top two or three well-managed states in this country.
We pay for things as we go.
And people are looking for responsibility and government, low taxes, high quality of life.
And a government believes they can trust the people and let the people make decisions.
You know, Sean, we opened up during the pandemic.
People went back to work and kids back to school.
We played Friday night football, and we did just fine.
And of course, all the naysayers and the leftists were saying, oh, you're going to pay for this.
Oh, you're not taking care of people.
We opened our state up and went back to work, and we have done great.
And more states should be doing that rather than living in fear.
And we have to realize the Democrats want people to live in fear.
They want permanent pandemic and lockdowns because people who are fearful are easier to control.
And the Democrats are looking for total control and power over our lives 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
I think you're right on all fronts.
Where do you see this ending?
Because, you know, look, one of the things that I said earlier this week on both radio and TV over the many years that I've been doing this, Senator, I've been doing radio now 35 years.
In 1990, I was right off the highway down from Nashville.
What is it?
I-65, if I remember correctly.
Yes, I-65 there in Huntsville.
In Athens, right?
To take you to Huntsville and Athens, Alabama.
And I was doing a local radio show.
And I would often go up to Nashville.
I always loved it up there.
And over the course of, what, 35 years in radio, 26 and a half years on Fox, I would read research about myself.
And, you know, there would be people, I hate his politics.
He likes Donald Trump, blah, blah, blah.
That would never matter to me because that's me being myself.
But if a bunch of people write, maybe 15, 20 people write the same comment about something I'm doing or saying on the air that they find offensive or stylistically don't like, I'll usually pay attention so I can get better.
Now the country's screaming for lower gas prices, and nobody in the Democratic Party is willing to even talk about going back to the policies that did give us $2.39 a gallon gasoline.
That would help lower inflation, that will create jobs.
That's good for national security, that we don't have to do deals with the Saudis OPEC and Iran and Venezuela.
Why don't they reverse course?
Why is that not even on the table for them?
They are refusing to reverse course.
They should be ashamed of the policies that they are letting stand because of the adverse impact it has on the lives of Americans every single day.
But you can't shame them because much of what they're doing is intentional so that they can get control.
They've long wanted, as you well know, Sean, they have long wanted to have $5 a gallon gas because they think it will cause people to drive less and that people will go out and spend $60,000 on an electric car and then laugh about the price of gas.
But that is not reality.
They won't secure the southern border, even though they are realizing the people that live on the southern border have turned against them because they want the Border Patrol agents to have what they need to patrol that border.
They cry, defund the police, and then really won't change their stance.
And now police are saying, look, every state's a border state.
Every town's a border state.
We're covered up with drugs in our towns and neighborhoods and communities, and people are dying.
And Sean, here in Tennessee, we have had the issue with fentanyl-laced gummies.
And then Giles County, Tennessee, between here and where you were at Huntsville, Athens, that area, the sheriff came out and said, do not pick up dollar bills that you're finding laying around because they're tainted with fentanyl.
Now, this is what, this is the kind of fear that people are having to live with right now because of the Biden policies.
The inflation, the drugs, the open border, the crime in the communities.
They're worried about the national stage because our adversaries don't fear us.
You had China, communist China, out here bullying last week because they're not afraid of Joe Biden.
They know that they've got Hunter Biden who is compromised.
So it really determines how people choose to view this administration.
It is causing them to say, look, we have to get this all under control.
And that is why you're going to see a change in November in the House and the Senate.
I think it's going to be pretty dramatic.
As I look at the Senate races, we have a lot of bellwether states.
We've got Missouri.
We've got Arizona, Nevada.
We've got Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire.
We've got Georgia.
We've got the Carolinas, North and South Carolina.
What do you see happening?
I think what you're going to see is us end up with 53 or 54.
Don't forget about racists like Tiffany Smiley out in Washington State, who, by the way, outraised Patty Murray last week.
Everybody is talking about Washington State being in plague.
I actually think based on, I don't know if you saw Congresswoman elect Flores.
She was on my TV show the other night.
That was a Democratic district for 150 years, and she won it by eight points.
It was like a 30-point swing from when Hillary Clinton won that district.
That's exactly right, Sean.
And people are tired of this.
The Democrats act like we all are too stupid to figure things out, and they act like they think they can get by with telling us what to see and say and think and how to vote.
And people are saying, oh, no, you don't.
And by the way, you are not going to teach CRT and the 1619 program to our kids.
We're not going to put up with this anymore.
And so they're standing up and they're showing up and speaking out and they're voting and getting their friends and neighbors to vote.
And I think you are spot on, as you always are.
And this is going to be a year like we have hardly seen where people confront these out-of-control leftist politicians and say, no, you're not going to do this to us anymore.
We're not going to take it.
Well, I think you're doing a great job for the people of Tennessee.
They're lucky to have you.
I've watched your career blossom.
You've become a strong leader in the Senate.
We need more people like you.
You stand on your principles.
And we really appreciate that you're there.
We need more conservatives in the Senate.
And I didn't say Republicans on purpose.
I want more conservatives in the Senate.
Yes.
We have enough of Lisa Murkowski's.
And I think Kelly Trubaka is probably going to win that race.
I won't drag you into it, so I won't ask you because I'm a good person.
But we really appreciate your time.
And I've got to get back down to Tennessee.
I love Music Row, as you know.
Absolutely.
And we would love to have you here.
Thanks, Sean.
All right.
Marsha Blackburn, Senator, great state of Tennessee, 800-941-Sean.
number you want to be a part of the program by the way it's not just conservatives that are saying the economy is in the tank even Even fake news CNN, fake news, CNBC.
Even Lawrence Summers, that's Obama's economic advisor.
They're saying exactly what we've been saying because it's that obvious and transparent to anybody and everybody that has eyes to see and ears to hear.
I lived through the Carter years.
Every day, I get a stronger sense of deja vu, a stronger sense of just one thing after another.
And I'm going to leave it at that, and I'm not going to go further into it, but this is not going to help.
This is not attacking the root cause.
Until you admit what the root causes are, you can't, until you admit you have a problem, you can't deal with it.
Listen, go ahead.
Secretary Yellen, who has the job you once had, said this week that, quote, there is nothing to suggest a recession is in the works.
Do you agree with that?
No, I don't.
You think a recession is in the works?
I think that when I think when inflation is as high as it is right now and unemployment is as low as it is right now, it's almost always been followed within two years by inflation, by recession.
The economy, the market, it's not going to be able to recover unless we see some relief and relief that we can believe is a long-term solution for oil.
Here's how you fix that problem.
It was a policy mistake by Biden when he came in.
You reversed the mistake.
All you have to do is jawbone.
The oil market's a futures market.
Just announced you're going to license three new refineries on the East Coast.
Also announced we're going to re-examine the XL pipeline.
We're going to give back the leases in Anwar.
We're going to give more carving direction to understand what the costs are.
All of those policy mistakes could be reversed by just getting up and jawboning it.
You could take oil down below $100 if you got more accommodative towards the future production.
Now, Biden may not do that.
That's on him.
All right, we'll take a break.
We'll come back.
Your calls coming up straight ahead as we continue.
