62 days, and America will decide which path we choose to go down.
Do you want to double down on dumb and stupid and failure and disaster?
Then feel free to do so.
But this is an opportunity to correct the disastrous presidency, 19 months of now going into 20 months of just pure failure by Biden and radical leftists, climate alarmist cultists.
You know, it's my favorite story of the day.
People in California are not going to like me today.
But I don't know how many people in California like me anyway.
But this is the government you've allowed that you have created.
And I say this, and I want you to look at this through the prism of what is now being predicted in the last two days.
I've been reading article after article after article that Western Europe, European countries are going to be paying now probably 20 to 30 percent of their entire family budgets just to heat their home.
Now, that's because they gave into their climate alarmist cultists in Europe and they became reliant on Vladimir Putin and Russia for the lifeblood of their economy.
And now Nord Stream 1 has been shut down, as Crine Jean-Pierre said.
I mean, and this is laughable too, listening to the Biden administration talk about this, you know, that they're out there blaming Russia and saying Russia is weaponizing energy and weaponizing oil.
I'm like, well, yeah, that's what they're doing.
But why would you ever become reliant on a hostile nation, a hostile regime in the first place?
That was their dumb decision.
And the worst part is we're not learning from their stupidity.
We're doubling down on their stupid.
That's how stupid we are under Biden and the climate alarmist, new Green Deal socialists in this country.
It's insane.
By the way, Trafalgar poll finds a majority of Biden's speech was dangerous.
Washington Times survey Trafalgar Group, that's Robert Cahaley, friend of this program, 56.8% of respondents viewed the speech as, quote, a dangerous escalation in rhetoric.
They also said Biden's speech was, quote, designed to incite conflict among Americans.
Only 35% viewed Biden's rhetoric as acceptable campaign messaging in an election year.
And among third-party independent voters, 62.4% viewed the speech as dangerous.
But Biden can't run on anything.
That's Biden's biggest problem that he has.
And I just urge people: you know, if somebody tries to provoke you into a fight, don't take the bait.
You just get calm, you walk away, and you vote on election day.
That's what you do here.
As, you know, there are always people trying to provoke me when I'm out, especially lately.
I don't know what this is a new phenomenon.
Before we get to my favorite story of the day, that California is going to hate Biden has now caved yet again to the climate alarmist cultist demands to stop drilling in three oil-rich states.
Now, the Biden administration entered a legal settlement Tuesday this morning with environmental groups agreeing to block drilling on more than 58,000 acres of public land.
This is on top of the moratorium he had already put in place.
The federal government will refrain from issuing any drilling permits across 113 leases spanning 58,617 acres in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota under a settlement between the Department of the Interior and the coalition of organizations led by Wild Earth Guardians and the Sierra Club.
Today's agreement opens the door for the Biden administration to undo the Trump administration's, quote, recklessness and disregard for the climate and public interest, according to Jeremy Nichols, climate energy program director at Wild Earth Guardians.
It was interesting that as Europe now has been experiencing, you know, their energy shortages and it's only about to get worse, they're predicting five to ten years where tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people potentially in Europe can die because of the lack of heat.
That's how bad it can get there.
And that would be America's opportunity to step up because we have so many natural resources and provide Europe with all of their energy needs and totally eliminate any dependence on Vladimir Putin and Russia.
And that would help bankrupt Russia unless they can sell enough oil to India and China and whatever other countries they want to sell it to.
So this is where they are.
Now, they're doing this at a time.
And I saw a picture today.
Just crack me up that Sweet Baby James had printed out of somebody with a generator in their driveway and hooked up to the generator is a hose, a line that goes right into their electric vehicle to charge the electric vehicle with a gas-powered generator.
Now, tell me how that makes any sense at all.
You pay 20 grand more for an electric vehicle.
You have to mine Mother Earth with big, heavy equipment that uses lots of diesel fuel.
You got to rape and pillage the planet to get the nickel, the manganese, the cobalt, and all the other minerals necessary to build out the batteries for these electric vehicles.
And then, of course, the electric grid that you charge the electric vehicle on, if you can, is usually fossil fuels, gas, oil, and coal.
How does any of that make any sense?
It doesn't.
This is why even Elon Musk is saying, no, we got to continue drilling.
We got to continue our use of fossil fuels, even if we plan to make a transition.
It's not the time.
So anyway, California's power grid operator declared last night, it happened actually during Hannity on Fox News, a stage three emergency alert warning that rotating power outages were once again very possible because of a heat wave that is walloping the state and pushing electricity demands to the limits.
Energy emergency alert three, rotating power outages are now very possible.
Please reduce your energy use, according to the California Independent System operator that they tweeted out.
Several hours later, they ended the alert, which was initially scheduled to continue until 9 p.m.
The grid operator said energy conservation played a big part in protecting the electric grid reliability.
Thank you, California.
You got to be kidding me.
So on top of it, you got this idiot governor who I'm more than certain is going to be running for president in 2024, Gavin Newsom, declaring a state of emergency amid extreme heat, and California, Newsom now urging residents to reduce electricity usage to avoid power outages, and California officials asking people to conserve energy.
As, by the way, in the case of San Francisco, they're seeing record heat right now.
And I'm looking at all this, and then I see Eric Fang Fang Swalwell tweeting out, it's time to rally, California.
We all need to do our part to help avoid power outages this week.
And this is what he says.
Before 4 p.m., pre-cool your home.
After 4 p.m., avoid use of major appliances and turn your thermostat to 78 or higher.
78 or higher when it's 100 degrees outside is not going to, you're not going to be in a cool home.
Trust me.
Let's keep the lights on, California.
Gee, thanks.
None of this is necessary.
This is the point.
Environmentalists, there's nothing that they like that's fossil fuel related.
They don't even care about clean coal.
They don't care about clean burning natural gas.
They don't care.
And this is where the insanity comes in.
Why is it okay to import oil and make a deal with the idiot mullahs in Iran that want and chant death to America, death to Israel?
Why are you going to do a deal with them, free up tens of billions of dollars in sanctioned monies that have been unavailable to them for decades?
Why are you going to make the Iranian mullahs rich again?
Like up until last year, you were making Putin and Russia rich again so they can start wars in Ukraine.
Why are you going to make Saudi Arabia rich again, OPEC nations rich again?
Why would you make Venezuela rich again when we have all the natural resources here?
This is your Green New Deal socialism.
This is so after 4 p.m., pre-cool your home.
Oh, okay.
What do you do if you have that electric car they were telling you to buy?
How are you going to charge your car if you don't get home before 4 p.m. to charge it?
And by the way, where does the charging come from?
90% of the electric grid is fossil fuel related because they don't allow nuclear energy as well on top of everything else.
This is how stupid all of this is.
And we have all of the resources.
All of this talk about, well, they have plenty of windmills out in California, but guess what?
They can't store the power.
They have plenty of solar panels out in California, but they can't store that power.
It's not like, oh, we have 60 straight sunny days and we've saved all this power.
No.
On a cloudy day, guess what?
You're not getting the electricity from that source.
And then you rely, once again, on oil, gas, and coal to get your electricity.
That's just the way the grid works.
And unless and until they perfect the technology and make it affordable, hopefully cheaper than fossil fuels, then you're going to have to rely on fossil fuels.
But with all the natural resources that we have, nobody's been able to satisfactorily answer for me, give a satisfactory answer to me as to the question of why it's okay to make all these other countries rich and import the oil.
We can do it faster.
We can do it cheaper and we'll do it cleaner than any other country.
We have proven that under Donald Trump.
And if we were really smart, we'd become energy, not just independent.
That would be the first goal.
We'd become energy dominant.
And then we'd provide all of Europe with their energy needs.
And guess what?
We would be making, instead of Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, and OPEC countries, we'd be making America rich as hell.
And that means every American.
That means poor Americans.
That means middle class Americans.
That means every American of every background.
And we'd be paying lower taxes.
We'd have lower energy fees.
It would be cheap to fill our gas tanks again.
It would be cheap to heat and cool our homes again.
It would be cheap to ship goods to our stores again, and diesel fuel would come down again.
But no, they're just busy following in the footsteps and making the same dumb, idiotic decisions as Western Europe, which predictably will fail, just like Western Europe.
That's how dumb this all is.
Majority of Americans now say the Biden inflation nightmare is causing financial hardship.
Gallup, majority, 56%, now say price increases are causing financial hardship for their household.
Two-thirds of Americans now living paycheck to paycheck.
I mean, that's a dramatic increase.
If more than a third of working families cannot afford even basic needs any longer because of Biden inflation, you know, 35% of American families do not meet the basic family needs budget.
Well, that's all because of Biden inflation.
Everything you buy and every store you go to is now costing more.
Here's a zero-hedge headline.
Europe's nightmare scenario has now come true.
Energy bills to rise by $2 trillion will reach 20% of disposable income.
We have the ability not to need a drop of oil from any of these countries or to need any natural gas from any of these countries.
We have the ability to produce so much energy that we could provide Western European allies all their energy needs and they'll have all the heat they need this winter and every winter thereafter and we'll get rich doing it.
But they're too dumb to do that.
Heating oil states, by the way, a report out today says that prepare to pay five bucks a gallon or more this winter for your heating oil.
May want to fill up now.
Get ready for the winter.
I mean, this is all self-inflicted.
This is all preventable.
That's the worst part of all of this.
So Trofounder Poll finds 56.8% of respondents saw Joe Biden's speech with the red background and the Marines as a dangerous escalation in rhetoric designed to incite conflict among Americans.
I wonder if that includes fake news CNN that decided, oh, this is not a good background look.
Why don't we pinken it up a little bit?
Put a little pink in there.
Make it look a little friendlier.
So there's a ton of people.
I mean, Biden was out all Labor Day weekend, made all these appearances.
It's interesting.
Fetterman in Pennsylvania wanted nothing to do with him.
And the crowd he got at an union speech that he gave, United Steelworkers, maybe 100 people.
Compare that, Wilkes-Burry, and the thousands and thousands of people that went to see Donald Trump speak, thousands more outside listening outside the speech.
The Senate candidate in Michigan, the Democrat, doesn't want to be seen with Biden.
Pennsylvania Democrat doesn't want to be seen with Biden.
New polls show what a huge blunder Biden's bashing of MAGA is.
Yeah, bashing half the country is not exactly a good idea.
It's not too endearing.
One thing that I found that was pretty interesting is, and the RNC put this out yesterday, and Peter Ducey confronted Jean-Pierre yesterday about this issue of her tweet.
All of the people that are election deniers that are Democrats, all of them, are they a threat to democracy?
Because I got a pretty comprehensive list when we come back.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
This exchange took place between Corine Jean-Pierre, White House press secretary, and Peter Doocy of Fox News yesterday as it relates to the idea of, well, only Donald Trump claims that election impropriety has occurred.
Listen to this.
You tweeted.
Oh, I knew you were coming.
Stole an election.
I was good at Trump stole an election.
You tweeted Brian Kemp stole an election.
If denying election results is extreme now.
So let's be really clear.
That comparison that you made is just ridiculous.
I have been, well, you're asking me.
You're asking me a question.
Let me answer it.
And you said ridiculous.
I was talking specifically at that time of what was happening with voting rights and what was in danger of voting rights.
That's what I was speaking to at the time.
That's a lie because she tweeted out, Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.
That's what she tweeted out.
Stolen email, stolen drones, stolen election.
Welcome to the world of unprecedented Trump.
And Peter Doocy rightly corrected her.
Then I said, I don't know why I didn't do this a comprehensive list.
Now, we've done small montages in the past.
The RNC put out a 10-minute video.
I mean, it can go on forever.
Of all the Democrats that denied elections were legitimate, Jimmy Carter said Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016.
Dianne Feinstein said, I do when asked if she believed that Russia's interference altered the outcome of the 2016 election.
We know that's false, by the way.
Marcia Fudge claimed President Trump may, in fact, not be a legitimate president.
Hillary Clinton claimed that Trump's 2016 victory was illegitimate.
Jamie Raskin, ironically on the January 6th committee, Sheila Jackson Lee, Barbara Lee, among other Democrats, objecting during Trump's electoral vote certification in 2017.
The thing that Jamie Raskin is so outraged about.
Remember Debbie Wasserman Schultz, she said the 2016 election was affected by Russian interference.
That all turned out to be a lie.
Ted Liu, there's absolutely a cloud of illegitimacy over the 2016 election.
Hillary Clinton, 2016, the election was not on the level.
Terry McCullough, we actually won the last presidential election, folks.
They stole the last presidential election.
Joe Biden, I think Al Gore won the 2000 election.
Al Gore, I think I carried Florida.
Hillary Clinton, Bush versus Gore, a court took away a presidency.
Bill Clinton, the only way they can win the election was to stop the voting in Florida.
Congresswoman Corrine Brown, the Supreme Court selected George Bush as president.
Then Senator Barack Obama, not every vote was being counted in 2000.
Jimmy Carter, I don't think George W. Bush won the election in 2000.
Nancy Pelosi, constantly shifting vote tallies in Ohio and malfunctioning electronic machines have led to an additional loss of confidence by the public.
Congressman Nadler, the right to vote has been stolen from qualified voters.
Barbara Lee, Congresswoman, in 2004, the Democratic process was thwarted.
Then Senator Hillary Clinton on the 2004 elections.
As we look at our election system, I think it's fair to say there are many legitimate questions about its accuracy and about its integrity.
Nancy Pelosi, there are still legitimate concerns over the integrity of our elections.
Sheila Jackson Lee, we cannot declare that clear and transparent and real.
Dick Durbin, voters who wish to cast a vote for president or vice president can't approach the polls with any certainty that their vote will be counted.
Stacey Abrams.
And despite the final tally and the inauguration and the situation we find ourselves in, I do have one very affirmative statement to make.
We won.
Then Senator Kamala Harris, without voter suppression, Stacey Abrams would be governor of Georgia.
Sherrod Brown, if Stacey Abrams doesn't win in Georgia, they stole it.
It's clear.
Corey Booker.
I think Stacey Abrams, the election is being stolen from her.
Wow.
Pretty amazing.
I thought that was dangerous to democracy.
I thought that incited violence, for example.
All of this is from them.
This is the Democrats.
Democrats could care less about free and fair elections.
Why do you think they want no voter ID?
Why don't they want the election integrity measures that we've been calling for?
We want to make sure that the chain of custody is on camera the entire time when mail-in ballots come in.
I think that's simple.
And partisan observers should watch the vote count as the law requires in most states.
And it can't be a thousand feet away.
It can't be behind a glass door.
They have to be able to see the actual ballot.
They didn't make those accommodations.
They violated the law in many states in 2020.
And nobody seemed to care, like they violated the Constitution in the state of Pennsylvania.
That I can't understand either.
You know, so the idea that Democrats graciously accept election results is just another big lie on their part.
They don't value the Republic, their Constitution, our Bill of Rights.
If they get power, you know what they're going to do.
You know that they will make the biggest power grab ever in the history of this country.
Remember, the lawlessness is on full display.
Even Nancy Pelosi said Joe Biden couldn't by executive fiat forgive student loans the way he recently did, but he did it anyway.
No president gets to ignore the law as it relates to immigration on our southern border, and Joe's aiding and abetting all the law breaking.
Where's the court ruling on that?
We know that they'd pack the courts.
We know that they'd end the legislative filibuster.
We know that they go forward with D.C. statehood, Puerto Rico statehood, because they think it would benefit them politically, anything that they could do.
This is why all of this, why Joe is so angry in his speech, why Joe Biden now has to focus his attention on anything other than his record, because his record is a failure.
This election will be about capitalism versus socialism, individualism versus Green New Deal collectivism, freedom and liberty versus government bureaucracy and control, higher taxes, more auditing by 87,000 new IRS agents, more than double what we currently have.
Republicans want lower taxes, fewer regulations, more money in your pocket.
Democrats want to take from one group of people, get empowered to take their money, and redistribute it to their new Green Deal socialist plan.
It's not about new Green Deal, anything.
It's not about the environment.
It's about guaranteed government job, government wage, government healthy food, government health care.
How did that work out?
It's all about government retirement, government this, government.
It's all government.
They put all their eggs in that basket because that keeps them in power.
Republicans want energy independence and all of the above approach to the energy grid.
I would like America to be energy dominant and supply the world, especially our allies that are now going to be suffering for winters to come.
Democrats want to defund, dismantle police departments.
They want zero bail, violent criminals back on the street, open borders, sanctuary states, sanctuary cities.
Republicans want law and order, secure borders, peace through strength, classrooms that teach reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers.
And you can keep your CRT and your gender identity studies for after-school opt-in classes if parents and students want it.
How's that?
Trying to be accommodating here.
This country is not in a good place.
You can see by every single measure, they have failed and are failing the American people on a spectacular level.
40-year high of inflation, record high gas prices, twice what we were paying under Trump.
Two-thirds of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.
I just gave you those new statistics today.
Abandoning energy independence, just like Western Europe did, begging Saudi Arabia, Iranian mullahs that hate us, begging OPEC, sending emissaries to Venezuela, and steadfastly refusing the obvious, which is domestic production of energy, the lifeblood of the world's economy.
What are they going to run on?
The disaster in Afghanistan, the disaster in the war in Europe and Ukraine?
You know, how is it the Biden family syndicate gets away with smoking gun evidence?
It's called Hunter's Laptop from Hell, implicating Joe Biden himself, that he had full knowledge of all of it with all the evidence you could ever want.
Where's the rate on the Biden family home or even the White House for that matter?
Not going to happen.
It's like Hillary Clinton deletes 33,000 emails.
Bleach pit.
Who heard of bleach pit before Hillary Clinton?
Nobody.
Now we have record crime, homicides.
You know, people go walking in the stores.
As long as you don't take more than a thousand bucks worth of stuff, it's okay.
You just walk out with it.
Every town, every city.
Parents go to school board meetings.
They want to participate in their kids' education.
They want age-appropriate information passed on to their kids.
They want to focus on the fundamentals.
Yeah, let's investigate them as domestic terrorists.
How dare they speak up at a school board meeting?
Schools teaching first graders about transgender issues and pronouns and first grade.
You know, it's all of this, it's 62 days away.
And this is what's at stake.
And all Joe Biden wants to do is divide half the country.
I mean, it's pretty unbelievable when you look at it.
By the way, Obama back in the White House today.
Tensions were, things apparently got really out of hand the last time when Obama was there not that long ago and he said, oh, thank you, Vice President Biden.
Apparently, a lot of the Biden people got pissed off at that, which I thought was actually a pretty funny joke.
And then remember, everybody went and were drawn to Obama, and nobody wanted to talk to Joe, and Joe's walking around the Oval Office, I think, is where it was.
You know, hi, I'm here.
Hello.
Anybody want to talk to me?
Nobody wanted to talk to him.
So he does what he usually does, and that's shake air.
Most Americans still believe the Hunter Biden laptop story is important.
Rasmussen, thousand U.S. voters polled.
63% believe the story of the first son's abandoned laptop is important.
By comparison, only 17% of those polled say the story is not important at all.
Who are the 17%?
Want to know who they are?
We have some immigration news.
The New York City mayor Adams has sent a delegation to the southern border.
Why doesn't he go down himself?
You got to understand, I think this is one of the greatest political jiu-jitsu moves of all time.
And that is that it's easy for the New York City mayor to be lecturing the Texas governor on what to do with the millions of illegal immigrants coming into his state.
So Governor Abbott decided to ship him up to New York and D.C. and elsewhere.
In D.C., they want to call in the National Guard.
The mayor of New York says, here in New York, we will continue to welcome asylum seekers with open arms as we learn more about the process, meet with real partners, and see firsthand the inhumane conditions in which asylum seekers are being subjected to by the state of Texas.
No, the extreme conditions, the cages for kids were built by Joe Mayor Adams.
They weren't built by the governor of Texas.
And as long as you want to remain that, I'll use your words, as long as you want New York City to welcome asylum seekers, I think that Governor Abbott needs to keep sending them up.
Then we'll see how generous you are six months from now.
I don't think you're going to be that generous.
But just understand what's happening here.
This is very important.
Everything that you're hearing, watching, seeing that doesn't talk about Joe's failed record is designed to distract people from his failures.
All of these issues that I have brought up again and again, every one of these problems was preventable.
All of them are fixable, but you need the people that have the common sense to do it.
I see Kathy Griffin is back.
Democrats telling us how important it is to respect the peaceful transfer of political power.
Kathy Griffin is warning that if Republicans win in November, there will be a, quote, civil war.
If you don't want a civil war, vote for Democrats in November.
If you do want a civil war, vote Republicans, she tweeted.
The response was swift, among them Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who said this is wrong, crazy, Hollywood lefty threatening civil war if Democrats don't win.
Sadly, this is today's left, angry, hateful, and violent.
Griffin posted a response blaming conservatives for getting upset over her initial tweet.
Quote, you guys, the MAGA blue checks are at it again because they're constantly threatening civil war.
They're now trying to suggest that I am the one that is threatening a civil war because, you know, that's my thing, she tweeted.
Well, those were her words.
Unbelievable.
Anyway, in a letter that sounds like it was written by the Biden White House, several former deep state Pentagon officials are echoing Biden's soul of the nation dark speech.
Obviously, and it was put in the New York Times, so you know the veracity of that.
Anyway, 800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program, at the top of the hour, Governor Ron DeSantis will join us, governor of the free state of Florida.
