Happy Friday for those of you that are off on the weekend anyway.
Uh 800-941 Sean on number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Uh Peter Deucey, I mean, I thought it was pretty good, the exchanges with with him and Gensaki, Circleback.
Um, these are now becoming even more epic in terms of it just a downright beatdown of Deucey versus the new White House press secretary, uh Corrine Jean-Pierre, uh, as she had an exchange yesterday with 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?
Uh because what we have seen uh across the globe, first of all, inflation is a global challenge, as we have said.
Uh it is uh it is it is it is caused by uh uh clearly um the pandemic, this once in a generation pandemic that we are coming out of, and also uh most recently, uh the war that uh that Putin started in Ukraine and I did get politely though.
He says that inflation is worse everywhere, but here that's not true.
US has worse inflation than Germany, France, Japan, Canada, India, Italy, Saudi Arabia.
So why is he saying that?
I think we what we are saying is that uh when you talk about inflation, it is a global thing.
We because we don't need to do that.
What we need them to do is with the oil that's out there, we need the two them to refine that oil so that we so that prices so that the capacity could go up and then prices it would go down, inherently go down.
And so I know the president once said that he was gonna end fossil fuel.
Is that now off the table?
No, we are gonna continue uh to move forward with our uh clean energy uh proposal, our climate change uh proposal.
Is that a priority?
Climate change over gas.
No, that's not what we're saying.
We're saying we're saying that we're saying I'm answering the question is his answer gas prices or is it addressing climate change?
First of all, we it's 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 the pushback by Peter Ducey.
Um, 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, uh, and other countries on top of that.
It's a pretty unbelievable.
I mean, it's it's almost like a layup now every day for for Peter Ducey, uh, 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, uh AM 710, W O R, and Joe Concha, Fox News contributor, columnist with the hill.
You'd make a hell of a uh media host.
I hear they might have an opening soon on fake news CNN.
You know, but I'd hate to l see 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 conscha news network.
You know, it has a ring to it.
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?
Uh yeah, kind of like that.
Yeah.
It's it's it's that that's the end of everything.
Uh let me start with you, Mark Simone.
I 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, fact check that up.
Interrupt, 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 uh Trump said any of this, they wouldn't.
Oh my gosh, by the way, they they're still publishing for the five thousandth 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.
Uh well, by the way, who's gonna fact check the fact checkers?
Because they're wrong ninety percent of the time anyway.
Uh, you know, just like they fact check Hunter 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 uh 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 with without exception, none of them have owned up to how wrong they were.
And Hillary 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 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 Conscious showing off here.
Keep going, Joe.
Back to the future records.
Mark knows that, of course.
But 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 he at least is articulate.
He's at least professional, and at least has some credibility.
Uh she, as you said, uh is saying things like it's a global challenge with inflation that takes about 14 seconds to fact check in the Google machine.
I gotta give her credit.
I mean, I think she's more articulate certainly than our own vice president with every word solid that she puts out there every day.
You know, the giggling vice president, uh Kamala Harris.
I haven't even heard her speak in a long time, Harris, right?
No, she's setting up the new misinformation uh you know, disinformation all well in nightmare for uh the Biden administration.
She's done such a great job on everything else.
Right.
Uh the The border, that's taken care of, so we can 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 roles under those Jim Crow 2.0 laws.
Uh yeah, so you're right.
I guess you could say that uh Green Jean Pierre is more articulate than uh 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 gonna get you're gonna get crushed now for for fat shaming.
What do they call that, Mike's Mark Simone?
What do they call it?
Uh the c it's it's it's not PC.
You can't say anything without getting in trouble.
Well what if I what if I call myself I got a fat stomach.
I am I'm not allowed to be honest.
Oh no you definitely because the fact checkers will confirm it left and right and uh it's getting more flat because I've been eating my paleo diet I've been sticking to a pretty uh it's like a regimen now for me.
And Mark I can attest to this uh my son met Mark uh uh 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 at 400 when you when you do a few hundred sit ups and V ups every day trust me your stomach's gonna get tighter it works.
Wow I'm actually now up to a hundred pound uh dumbbells that I can press uh I can do ninety what fifteen times now on each hand each side for an old guy that's not bad right Mark Simone?
Hey I lift uh five or six plates at a buffet almost uh every day I've seen him do it what are you putting on the 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 so I need a good laugh I mean uh 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 we I guess we the only thing we can do at this point is laugh.
We're stuck with two and a half years worth of this Adam Schiff 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'm uh I don't want to even say this is I don't want to stop you I think the trouble has just begun.
Art laugher, Steve Moore, uh Larry Cuddle, 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 got the dumbest cabinet I have ever seen uh look at Buddig.
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 fuel trucks are stopping this is all under bootjects and he's probably the sharpest one in the cabinet.
Quick break more with uh Mark Simone, Joe Concha on the other side and your calls 800 nine four one Sean our number looking for fake news find it here.
You are with Sean Hannity on the air now.
Now we continue our Friday round of Mark Simone and Joe Concho with us.
Okay so let's assume Joey's not running.
Obviously the New York Times and and pretty much even fake news CNN is giving up on Joe.
So who's who's next in line?
I don't see our giggling vice president as a as a prime candidate.
Are we really going to look at Pete Buddhge as the the Democratic hopeful in 2024?
God help us all with that resume.
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 but in this case come on so he's out and I I look at Andrew Cuomo not available for comment uh Amy Klopachar?
No I don't think so Elizabeth Warren no authenticity'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 his name 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's nearly they hate him.
That's it.
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.
You and you're gonna have all these idiots jumping what it's not hard saying you guys are a bunch of jackasses that have gone so woke and far left.
we don't, I can't associate with you anymore.
Eh, I mean, I used to Reagan switched to a switch party, but he was like 28.
You can't do it at this stage.
It's too late.
It's uh it'll be Buddig.
That'll be the uh Democratic Company.
They gave him like two hundred billion to give out out of that stimulus.
And that's to buy favors in upcoming elections.
So you really think it's gonna be Buddha judge.
You're going out on a limb on June 17th, 2022 before the midterm, and you're gonna say that in the fall of 2024, it's gonna be Pete Buddha judge.
Mayor Pete is gonna be their nominee.
Only guy in the cabinet that was given that kind of money to pass out in favors.
The county's things where he'll need it.
You know, the thing is like you gotta find a vice president dumber than you as impeachment insurance.
Biden was lucky he found Kamala, uh Booty Judge uh Beetle Aurora.
Perfect.
You got somebody dumber than him.
That'll be the ticket.
Wow.
What do you think, Joe Joe Concha?
You agree with that?
That's a bold prediction on on Mr. Simone's part.
Uh Buddedge Liz Cheney ticket.
Think of the possibility.
Now, I look uh the problem is I I try to live in a logical common sense world.
And and you asked about, you know, maybe a governor that's out there.
Uh Andy Bashir is the governor of Kentucky, and a lot of people probably haven't heard of him, but he's polling in the fifties in a red state.
So logically, maybe he's the guy who could come across as a motherfucker.
He's got Joe Manchinitis.
He's he's gonna be labeled Joe Manchin.
You think AOC, the squad, you think this this new modern new Green Deal, radical climate alarmist, religious cult democratic party is gonna pick him?
No shot.
I don't that's what I mean.
I'm using logic.
So then uh maybe Mark is right because uh who's good enough for them that that they could get through the nomination process.
AOC, by the way, could run.
She'll she'll be 35 by the time.
I'm all by the way, I'm all in favor of that.
It'll be a 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 the bigger.
Stop stop dissing our uh our potential 2024 presidential candidate.
Start being nice.
She's great.
Uh that's the one.
I think you should support her.
I think we should put literally uh, you know, even even off her website for for people that want to donate and help her out.
I think okay.
But let's let's just let's start an AOC pack.
I I think this could be uh a good thing.
In fact, she's got good initials, you know, it's it rolls off the tongue.
He's easy to uh easy to kind of absorb.
So yeah, uh AOC uh with uh Kinzik.
You are tapping into something that's true.
Uh Mark, you can confirm this being the consummate New Yorker that you are.
I I don't know what the hell you love about the city that you live in.
I have no 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.
You pay for the okay, you can pay m 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 the become the most powerful Democrat in the world and starts trembling because this bartender is yelling at him.
He I mean, there's no courage.
It's it's the same thing with Pelosi and Biden.
They're terrified of these 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 your the family of your F uh uh your CFO, who uh dropped dead very unexpectedly my best of their family.
So laugh.
I feel awful for the family.
I mean, sorry if I sorry your CFO dropped freaking death.
Don't you remember the guy's name?
He just said uh He just said the guy that's 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.
Uh maybe to show a little heart, a little soul, a little sympathy, uh, maybe a little cognitive awareness, some just a small tiny bit would be appropriate at this moment.
Well, I gotta thank you both.
Yeah.
Uh it's been a bad week of bad news, man.
And uh I it's only gonna 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.

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, and the world.
In any moment, but anyway, uh, 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 the this inflation in in context.
How bad is the surgeon prices?
I 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.
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 and the month over month, it's one percent there.
But 8.6%, that's that's really a a tough number to swallow here.
It's it's gas prices, but the CPI, the B Bureau of Labor Statistics, John, saying that it's broad-based.
I mean, you're talking about food, gas, shelter.
Um, 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 five and a half percent.
You're paying 37% more for airfare and gasoline up a whopping 48.7%.
Triple A numbers show the national average at over five dollars per gallon.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Uh 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 uh 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 five dollar plus a gallon gasoline and a forty-one year high of inflation and paying more for everything they buy in every store they go to.
I 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 price of pump or the grocery store, the cost of clothing, the cost of uh 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 they're realizing that Joe Biden when he was out campaigning and not in the bunker, he would talk about, oh, I'm going I'm old 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 I I do think I've named a number of states.
I I think we're only at the beginning of really what is going to be some very troubling times for people.
Uh the economic news, everything I've been predicting is is coming true with with higher interest rates, new home starts are gonna basically come to a s uh screeching halt.
Uh sales of existing homes, that'll come to a screeching halt.
Home values will now begin to plummet.
The contracting business, contractors, well, they're their their business is gonna be tougher than ever.
It's not gonna be uh short-lived, it's gonna be going on for many years.
Uh we now have the Atlanta Fed uh predicting zero percent 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, that 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, uh, but because there are so many people migrating out of these states like New York and New Jersey and California and Illinois, two states like yours and and Florida and Texas, etc.
Um, I think I think home prices will for the most part they'll 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 in the leftist 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 twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Uh, I think you're right on all fronts.
What do you see?
Where do you see this ending?
Um, because you know, uh look, one of the things that I I said earlier uh this week on both radio and TV.
Over the many years that I've been doing this, uh, Senator, I've I've been doing radio now 35 years.
In nineteen ninety, I was right off the highway uh uh down from Nashville.
What is it?
I 65 if I remember correctly.
Yes, I 65, they're in Huntsville.
In Athens, right, to take it at 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, uh, I re I would read research about myself, and you know, there would be people, I hate his politics.
I he likes Donald Trump, blah, blah, blah.
That then that would never matter to me.
Because that's me being myself.
But if a bunch of people write, maybe fifteen, twenty 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 two dollars and thirty-nine cents a gallon gasoline.
Uh 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 and Iran and Venezuela.
Why don't they reverse course?
Why 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 five dollar a gallon gas because they think it will cause people to drive less and that people will go out and spend sixty thousand bucks 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 stone.
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, where 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, a 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.
Um, as I look at the Senate races, we have a lot of bell weather states.
We got Missouri, we've got Arizona, Nevada, uh, we've got Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, uh, we've got uh Georgia, uh, we got the Carolinas, North and South Carolina.
What do you see happening?
I think what you're going to see is I think that was fifty-three or fifty-four.
Don't forget about races like Tiffany Smiley out in Washington State, who, by the way, outraged uh Patty Murray last week.
Everybody is talking about Washington State being in play.
Yeah.
I actually think based on uh I don't know if you saw Congresswoman elect Flores.
She was on my TV show the other night.
Uh that was a yeah.
That was a democratic district for a hundred and fifty years, and she won it by eight points.
It was like a 30-point swing from when Hillary Clinton won that 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 gonna 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.
Uh 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 uh we really appreciate that you're there.
We need more conservatives in the Senate.
And I'm not I didn't say Republicans on purpose.
I want more conservatives in the Senate.
Yes.
Uh we have enough of Lisa Murkowski's, and I think uh 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.
Uh, but we really appreciate your time and uh I've got to get back down to Tennessee.
I love music grow 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-SHAWN, our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Music And by the way, it's not just conservatives that are saying the economies in the tank, even fake news CNN, fake news CNBC.
Uh, 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 live through the Carter years.
Every day I I get a stronger sense of deja vu, a stronger sense of deja.
Just one thing after another.
And I'm gonna leave it at that, and I I'm not gonna go further into it, but this is not gonna 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 the case.
Listen, go with 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 infl 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, they're not 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 polym policy mistake by Biden when he came in.
You reverse the mistake.
All you have to do is jaw bone.
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 carbon direction to understand what the costs are.
All of those policy mistakes could be reversed by just getting up and jaw boning it.
You could take oil down below a hundred bucks if you got more accommodative towards the future production.
Now, Biden may not do that.
That's on him.
