This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, Hour Two Sean Hannity Show, 800 941 Sean, our number if you can't if you want to be a part of the program.
So as shocking as it is, Biden's been trying to make a deal.
Remember, last year he imported six hundred and seventy-four million barrels of oil, making the hostile actor and the hostile nation, Russia and Putin rich.
Even a million barrels of oil from Iran, which had not been done since the 1990s.
And then he sent emissaries over to Venezuela.
Now, after he begged OPEC again and again and again and again and again and again, and they kept rejecting his call to increase production after he went to Saudi Arabia, what he called a pariah nation, and met with MBS to suck up to him.
Uh the guy that he accused of killing journalist Jamal Khashoggi and got rejected there.
OPEC turns around, not only did they not increase production of oil, they decreased it.
Of course, OPEC, Saudi Arabia, now working with Vladimir Putin and Russia, and they want to maximize their profits, and they are reducing the world supply purposefully in the hopes that they can get it, gas a barrel of oil up to a hundred and fifty dollars a barrel.
It's insane.
We are following right in the the idiotic footsteps of our Western European allies that gave in to their climate alarmist cultist and became dependent on Putin for their the lifeblood of their economy, and now as a result of Putin's invasion of Ukraine and Western Europe's support of Ukraine, he's just decided to turn off the spigot and he's now selling his energy to China and India and other countries.
You know, we do have an answer.
Go back to energy independence, but I'd take it a step further.
I'd go to energy dominance.
How many more times is Joe Biden going to embarrass this country and allow Saudi Arabia, OPEC, and Russia to humiliate him because that's what's happening.
How long is he going to force the American people to suffer, paying higher gas prices at the pump, paying more for every product, every item they buy in every store they go to because it costs more to get it there because of the high price of diesel.
You know, White House can accuse OPEC of siding with Russia all they want.
They don't care, Joe.
All they care about is maximizing their profits off of your stupidity.
No one can explain to me what difference does it make to Mother Earth if you extract a barrel of oil from Russia, Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, any OPEC country, or if you extract that here domestically.
If anything, we're gonna do a cleaner, we'll do it faster, we'll do it cheaper, and we'll be the masters of our own destiny.
It's good for national security, it's good for job creation, high-paying jobs in the energy sector, career jobs in the energy sector.
Then we could even take it a step further, becoming energy dominant, providing our Western European allies with all their energy needs.
And guess what?
America would become filthy rich like all of these uh oil-producing countries.
We'd be making the profit.
But they but Joe, that's not even on the table.
They won't even consider that.
You know, he we had nearly 700 million barrels of oil on our strategic petroleum reserves.
We're now down about 350.
And Biden now is going to take 10 million more barrels out of the strategic reserve.
Supposed to be for an emergency.
You don't define an emergency as people getting mad at the Democratic Party in the lead up to an election because of high gas prices that they caused.
So you artificially flood the market with more supply.
Oh, sea gas prices are down, we're responsible.
So now the U.S. is going to look to Venezuela and wind down sanctions against this, you know, murdering dictator thug uh Maduro, clearing the way for Chevron to resume their oil operations and reopen the the U.S. and European markets to their energy.
That means we're gonna make them rich again.
If he does the Iranian deal, we'll make the mullahs and Iran rich again.
U.S. gas prices climbing day after day.
Nearly 650 on average in California.
You pay it over five bucks in Nevada, you're paying a fortune in Oregon, you're paying a fortune all over the country.
We're gonna go back to five dollar a gallon gasoline.
And Joe's answer, I well, we'll do another quick band-aid fix.
We'll release more petroleum reserves, which compromises our national security, and we'll do it to the election.
This way we don't get hammered on high gas prices or lose the election because of my idiotic energy and economic policies.
White House denied the Wall Street Journal report that the U.S. is looking for more oil from Maduro.
I don't believe them.
They have been caught lying on these issues again and again and again.
Larry Barens is with us, communication director at the Power the Future, a national uh nonprofit organization that advocates for American energy jobs.
Dan Weaver is back with us as well, president of the Pennsylvania Oil and Gas Association.
Uh Dan, how dumb are we as a country to have put ourselves in this position, especially considering two years ago, less than two years ago, we achieved energy independence and we're a net exporter of energy for the first time in seventy-five years?
Well, I don't know as a country as a whole, but as a leadership, um, yeah, we're we're pretty dumb.
I mean, to be reaching out to countries that don't like us at all, and to look beyond our borders of what we can achieve within, it's uh it's fairly idiotic, uh, to say the least.
And uh we do have the ability.
I mean, exactly what you said.
We have the ability to produce it here, and to go to your point, not only can we produce it here, we can produce it here more environmentally friendly as far as emissions and standards.
You don't we have the some of the highest standards in place in the world.
So what Dan, let me interrupt you.
Didn't as we became energy independent under Donald Trump, didn't we have the largest reduction in in CO two gas emissions, etcetera, than any other industrialized country in the same period of time while we were becoming energy independent?
Oh, absolutely.
Absolutely.
If you look up through 2019, um, you know, if we look at just take CO2, the significant drop of uh in just CO2 with about thirteen hundred pounds of CO2 per megawatt just for dealing with building electricity,
not even talking about, you know, utilizing natural gas for other uh resources or or other sources for for burning for fuel or anything along those lines, just looking at the electrical market, which, you know, we are the only country that's meeting or exceeding those standards uh that that's out there.
And it's it's foolish to to think that other countries are are even capable of doing it or choose to do it as well as we do right now.
Let's get your take, Larry.
I I think we have harmed our national security interest in this process, number one.
Number two, how many times will Joe allow himself to be embarrassed on the world stage?
And number three, after all of this, why doesn't Joe Biden stand up to the climate alarmist cult in his own party and say, sorry, your policies aren't working.
We don't have the technology of alternative sources of energy, or as Pete Boudigud says, uh, we'll have to wait to become to we become energy independent with renewable energies.
The technology, to my knowledge, does not exist.
Does it exist in your world?
No, it doesn't exist in any world, Sean, and it's despicable that it's taking Joe Biden less than two years to make OPEC great again.
It has made it the laughing stock on the world stage.
It's no coincidence that OPEC waited until our strategic petroleum reserve was at uh the biggest low in over 40 years to make this cut.
And you know who's made a really big cuts to the oil production as well?
Joe Biden.
We're at more than a million barrels of oil less a day in United States production because we have a president who leased the fewest amount of acres of any president to Terry Truman.
And the part that goals us, I mean, the families are paying too much, one in six Americans are having trouble paying their utility bills, but the part that goals them more is for Joe Biden to go begging, fist bumping to Saudi Arabia, begging to Venezuela when he won't even talk to a single American energy worker.
Americans do it better, we do it cleaner, we do it more profitable, and we can have energy dominance if Joe Biden would just turn away from his special interest, but he'll never do that.
He's led out this pince of ten million barrels of oil just to get him through the election.
That's what Joe Biden cares about for your family.
He doesn't care that you're worried about your heating bills, he doesn't care about your pay and the pump.
He cares About getting through the midterms.
What is Joe Biden going to do to you when the calendar turns November 9th and he still has some power?
It is our chance to speak up and say no more.
Well, it's our chance to do so, but and I'm assuming Republicans will take the House.
Uh hopefully they take the Senate, but I don't think Joe Biden would sign any legislation that would go against this climate cult of his.
I mean, one it's sort of like once you're locked into a cult, Dan, um, and their mindset and indoctrinated into it, and you believe it with all your heart, mind, and soul.
I mean, people that come out of real cults, they they have people that are called deep programmers.
I don't think you can deprogram these people off of this idiocy at all, nor can you explain to them in any way they be willing to listen to that we don't have the technology that they say that we should make the transition to.
And if we did, uh whoever brought that forth would be a uh a multi, multi-multi-trillionaire if you can give us cheap, clean energy in another form.
Oh, I I think you're exactly right.
Uh I I think that's what it I think you're spot on with with that statement.
You know, we hear it all the time.
It's uh go, you know, it's a transition, it's a transition.
This is a transition.
This is what we need to do, this is where we need to be at.
And the reality is is listen, where we're at, natural gas is what's providing, you know, it it's what's allowing this to happen.
It's what's bringing down the CO2 emissions.
And I keep harping back upon that.
But it's it's more than that.
So everybody says, Well, how does that help my gasoline?
Well, you know, guess what?
You can turn natural gas into gasoline.
And there's they're working on a plant here in Pennsylvania uh to do exactly that.
Uh, you know, turn uh NGLs, natural gas liquids, right?
So we'll be able to have gasoline that's you know, but doesn't have sulfur, has half the carbon um as normal gasoline.
However, you know, the problem is is trying to get those permits through and trying to get things in place.
And everywhere we have those roadblocks.
And people want these things to happen overnight.
Well, listen, the reality is that technology isn't here yet, not on a scalable form.
You know, it's just not there.
Plus, it requires the fundamental uh building blocks for a lot of those technologies are still coming from natural gas and oil, right?
It's what the foundation of modern society is built on.
And if you don't think that that agenda isn't being pushed by communist countries in the background, well then you're foolish.
Well, we did learn there were multiple reports that came out that showed that in the lead up to Europe abandoning their own sources of energy that it was Putin himself funding some of these radical environmental groups, putting the pressure on those countries to make that dumb decision.
And look how that has played out.
Uh at the end of the day, why it's happening here, why we would go down the same road they have gone down.
Uh they're now anticipating in Western Europe that they're gonna be people will be spending 30 plus percent of their annual income just to heat their homes this winter, uh that they're predicting people will freeze to death.
Uh they're predicting, you know, real doom and gloom, and there's nobody to fill the void.
Now they're trying to very quickly get online, you know, mothballed, coal-fired, you know, uh coal-fired grid back up and running.
Good luck with that, after it's been what, decades since they they mothballed it.
It's not gonna be an easy an easy fix, nor do I think they can get it done for cr for for this winter.
Uh anyway, Larry, thank you.
Dan Weaver, thank you.
We appreciate you both being with us.
We doubled down on stupid.
That's what we're doing.
It's unbelievable.
All right, quick break, we'll come right back.
We'll hit the phones, 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
All right, we continue now as we head to our busy phones, 800-941 Sean.
Let's get to Ron and Pittsburgh, Ron.
We have a minute, it's all yours.
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
I appreciate you taking my call.
Uh I'm calling from Pittsburgh, which is next to Braddock, which our good friend John Fetterman is from.
Um I've known John for over 20 years.
I met him 20 years ago.
Uh, he hired me to do some work on his properties there in Braddock.
And by the way, I don't know.
How does how does he hire you when he never had a a paying job in his life and he was a trust fund brat?
And how did he get the six properties that he didn't pay over, you know, all this all these taxes on while he wants to raise taxes on you?
How did he get to do that?
I I that's one of the questions I have.
I mean, as a time as a contractor, had no it was none of my business where the money was coming from, but now as he's running for senator, I have questions about things that happened even before he was mayor.
Uh it seems like every time you guys dig into his background, you find more and more things.
And I think uh I would suggest that you go back before he got into politics.
Uh there was some kind of a community group or something he was running down there, but uh there seemed to be money to burn.
Uh, well, the one thing I can tell you is the population when he took over as mayor was around twenty-two, three hundred, went down to seventeen hundred and change uh when he left.
Uh, and the average uh income was about twenty-one thousand dollars per person.
Uh not exactly a a huge success.
Well, I'll tell you if if Craddock is his claim to fame, then you need to go to Braddock and take a look around.
It's been a very depressed town for years.
It's because it's been run by Democrats with uh the John Fetterman mindset for years, and it's uh it's been pretty poor as long as I can remember.
I've lived in Pittsburgh all my life.
But um I just want to say that he is a socialist through and through.
Um he hated big business, he hated big corporations.
He felt like the government should step in and basically take control of those businesses, those corporations and dictate how the monies and the profits were spent.
It it terrifies me to think that he's this close to becoming a senator.
If this uh this is the best we can do, then we're we're in pretty bad shape.
Well, obviously his track record speaks for itself, and the people of Braddock have him fared very well.
As Lieutenant Governor, he does have one great distinction and accomplishment, and that is supporting the release of more murders and hardcore violent criminals than anybody in the history of any state that we can find.
He really is good on that part.
Did a great job there.
All right, appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean, our number.
If you want to be a part of the program, like many of you, if you suffer from insomnia, look, there's nothing worse than that.
I've had insomnia problems for a long time.
One thing that really helped me in my life is all things my pillow.
And when I got my first my pillow, I couldn't believe how comfortable that pillow is.
It really makes a difference.
I fall asleep faster, I stay asleep longer.
You can too.
Now you've helped build my pillow into an incredible company that it is today.
You've trusted Mike Lindell to give you a great night's sleep.
Uh he has an incredible deal on Giza Dream Sheets.
You've heard me raving about them.
Those sheets are made from the world's best cotton Giza, ultra soft and breathable, yet durable.
And right now the Giza Dream Sheets are at their lowest price ever, sixty percent off, as low as thirty-nine ninety-nine when you go to the Sean Hannity Square at MyPillow.com.
And you can check out this great deal on Giza Dream Sheets, the softest best sheets you've ever slept on.
Just simply go to MyPillow.com, click on the Sean Hannity Square, or mention my name when you call toll-free 800-919-6090 for these great radio specials.
25 now to the top of the hour.
We'll get to your calls this half hour.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
A race in the Commonwealth of Virginia has caught our attention.
It's for the 11th Congressional District.
It's against a liberal Pelosi Democrat uh named Jerry Conley.
The guy, the Republican running is Jim Miles, who'll join us in a second here.
And uh, you know, it's it's just very interesting what's happening.
If you go back to Glenn Yunkins' victory, a lot of it was based on the f on age-appropriate materials being taught our kids in school, parental involvement in in the school system without being investigated as domestic terrorists.
A lot of it had to do with CRT, transgenderism, etc.
etc.
Anyway, there's a new development, not quite in the district of Jim Miles uh Miles, but Loudoun County school board candidate, yeah, one that wants to defund the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, far left activist by the name of Nick Gothard, uh is running for the Loudoun County School Board in a special election this November.
Apparently wants to defund the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office, which of course provides all of the school resource officers that keep the schools safe.
Uh and that's now become an issue front and center in Jim Miles' race.
He joins us now.
How are you, sir?
I'm doing well, Sean.
Thanks so much for having me on your show today.
It's amazing how Glenn Young was able to pull off such a massive victory in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
I I'd been pretty much convinced that I had to write off Virginia as as hopeless.
Uh that's not the case.
Uh you have an opportunity here to win this seat from a Pelosi acolyte.
Uh what are the odds you're going to win this?
You know, I think they're really good.
Uh the early voting I've been going to and people are so energized.
Uh we love our children here in Fairfax.
And again, my hat's off.
I applaud Governor Young and uh he's released that Virginia Department of Education to model policies and and again it comes back to a parent's fundamental right to control the education and the health of their children.
Uh now they're into equity grading here is kind of the the latest I read today, and I and I don't know where they're gonna try to go with that.
But I gotta tell you, we moved here, uh my wife and I, uh young son here in two thousand four, and part of the reason we settled here in Burke was the outstanding Fairfax schools.
And we tried to pull our son out last year, and we could not find a school with space that we could afford.
And the schools uh are they're hemorrhaging students.
It's nearly ten thousand and they're losing more because uh they just don't care about academic excellence like they did in the past, but now it's all about uh indoctrination of our children's sexualization, uh this pressure for for I jet uh gender identity, and it's just having a really uh uh bad effect on our children here, and parents are very upset.
You know, it's um it's the obvious is is definitely gonna p be in play for the election.
That is record high inflation, high gas prices, open borders.
But on the other side of that, you got other issues that Americans are really concerned about.
One is education, and the other is law and order and safety and security and battling back against the insanity of these no bail laws and and defund and dismantle policies.
Uh is that coming into play where you are?
Oh, without a doubt, Sean.
I tell you, we're getting uh a little bit nervous here.
Fairfax County when we moved here was like just one of the safest places.
So you didn't even need to worry about locking your doors at night, but no more.
I mean, we've had I was just at an event today uh in Tyson's Corner, and they've had shootings there now in Tyson's in the Springfield Mall and smash and grabs, and it's really getting a dangerous place, and it it all comes down to two things.
First is the deterrence.
We've defunded police, we've lost two hundred officers here in Fairfax, and that's having a devastating effect on morale, but it also affects deterrence.
If people don't think the police are out there, they're gonna commit crimes, and I think even worse, we've got a woke prosecutor, and he's turning people loose back out that are violent criminals into the street, and criminals see they're not gonna get caught and they're not gonna get punished.
So the end result is we're gonna see a lot more violence here in Fairfax County.
And as a parent with a family here, I I I am so concerned, and I know so many other people here in Fairfax County are.
Uh I think you have a a great track record, a gr interesting background.
You're sixty-three years old, you're a veteran.
Uh you're a retired federal judge.
You specialized in Social Security Medic Medicare uh issues.
Uh Democrats every election like to scare seniors and say Republicans want to take away your Medicare.
Well they want to take away your Social Security and let you eat dog food and cat food until some Republican comes along, throws you in a wheelchair and throws you over a cliff, which is kind of the standard, so it sounds like you're uniquely qualified for this job.
Uh I gotta if yeah, if I can just comment, I uh I was uh uh Air Force uh instructor pilot.
I came became a fighter pilot.
I flew eight tens along the DMZ there in Korea, and I stood on the table there with the white line down the middle there.
And I I gotta tell you on the other hand.
By the way, did you know that it was fifty meters in the DMZ zone?
But I knew what side uh, you know, our allies were on to that line, so I I just thought that was was was kind of uh interesting last week.
But uh but yeah, uh I was uh enjoyed enjoyed my time in the military and went on uh like you indicated to become a federal judge.
And yeah, I stand with seniors.
Uh I am one, I'm on social security myself.
In uh I also believe as a federal judge I swore to uphold the Constitution, and I really believe in the equal application of all the laws to every American, regardless of race and sex and religion, and I have to say now I think political affiliation is almost becoming a protected class because uh the people in charge here now, I think have just abandoned their their civic duty and their legal responsibility to to treat everybody fairly under the law, and we really need to change course here.
Well, we're following the race closely.
Jim Miles going up against a Pelosi disciple by the name of Jerry Conley, the eleventh district of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
We wish you luck, Mr. Miles, and uh we'll follow the race closely and uh hopefully in thirty-three days you'll be the winner.
Oh, I think I will be, Sean.
And thanks so much again for sharing your time and your audience with me.
Appreciate you being with us.
Eight hundred nine four one Sean, our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
Brenda is in Florida.
Brenda Hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
It's a pleasure to speak with you.
This is my first time ever trying to call in.
Um glad you made it.
Let me thank you.
I live in Florida, and it's been one heck of a week this last week.
Uh yesterday I was driving when an update came over the radio.
It was uh Governor DeSantis and the president after visiting uh victims and uh the devastation.
Governor DeSantis gave an impressive update on the work going on there.
I was so impressed, my heart filled with leadership, and I felt I felt comfort.
And after then he gave the podium over to the president.
After he greeted him as gov, I might add, the first thing out of his mouth was something about global warming.
Yeah, the debate is over.
We had a hurricane during hurricane season.
That means the global warming is now uh a hundred percent definitive.
It's not.
Exactly.
And even if that is your argument, now is not the time.
This made me so incensed that he talked about fires in Colorado and uh something about Colorado River being in a stream, something about New Jersey.
But Brenda, let's let me let me ask you.
Does it really shock you?
Does it really surprise you?
At this point, it can't be a good thing.
Okay, that but that's a different that's a different point.
That's a different reaction.
Nothing that Joe Biden says or does shocks me.
You know, the fact that he adheres to and clings to this fanaticism and climate cultism the way he does.
That's the shocking part.
The fact that the uh all his fellow Democrats do as well.
I'll even predict, I don't think they'll make the adjustments, the changes after they're shellacking, hopefully, uh in 33 days because they're that married and and that indoctrinated into their own narrative.
Governor DeSantis is uh dealing with uh a catastrophe right now.
We're looking at October in the state of Florida.
Um October is our busiest hurricane month for the West Coast of storms hitting Florida, and we already have this kind of devastation.
He's got an election in four plus weeks, and he has not made anything political.
He's taking care of the citizens and the president, the the leader of the free world makes it political.
I think.
But why does that surprise you?
That doesn't surprise me at all.
I don't know why it surprised me.
But you know, these aren't places where rich people live, these are places where us Floridians have brought our children as as as kids.
We've got a lifetime of memories of Sanibel and Captiva, and you know, there's mom and pop restaurants.
Listen, I have my I have a heart for all the years I had a place in in Naples, Florida, and and uh knowing Fort Myers as well as I do, knowing Sarasota as well as I do.
Uh it's heartbreaking.
You know, one of the great things that they were able to accomplish very quickly.
I I can't believe over 95% of Floridians now have their power back.
I mean, that's somewhat miraculous in large part because they staged and they had prepared for the hurricane and the immediate aftermath thereof, and they knew that they were gonna be in great need of of the services, and and they had three football fields of trucks of you know, electric company trucks ready to go the minute they could get in there.
And they got in there and they fixed it.
They're doing great.
They're everywhere.
The trucks are everywhere, and we're applauding them because we were affected here with water uh as well.
Um, but what tell those guys when you see them.
Um guys working on my road, I don't know, a year or two ago, and and we had power outages and issues involving all that stuff.
To be honest, it doesn't impact me.
I have a big generator.
I advise everyone if you can get even a small one, it helps a lot.
But anyway, so the they're there, and I just said, Um, guys, let me buy you lunch.
And I came back, gave them a bunch of pizza.
You have no idea what it means to these guys.
Meant a lot.
So they're gonna be working, you know, 18-hour days.
They're gonna be tired.
They're they're just working so hard to get the grid back up and running and uh uh doing it successfully, so they really uh deserve our respect and applause.
Well, my my word out to Floridians is you know, there's gonna be a lot of polls that are gonna be down as a result of this whole thing.
I don't know how that's gonna affect everything, but please don't take it for granted.
We need to keep the leadership.
There's a reason that people are leaving from all over this United States to come to Florida, and I've got double feelings about that because it's made it very expensive for those of us who live here.
But it's an amazing place, and we need Governor DeSantis to be to be in power after this next election.
Latest poll has them up by eight.
Latest poll has Rubio up by seven.
We're watching every race closely and taking nothing for granted, Brenda.
Appreciate the call.
Quick break, we'll come back.
more of your calls, 800-941-SHAWN, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Music Final hour roundup is next.
You do not want to miss it.
And stay tuned for the final hour free-for-all on the Sean Hannity Show.
Let's head to our busy phones.
George is in the great state of Maine.
George, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Good afternoon, Sean.
How are you?
And it's wonderful to talk with you.
Thank you so much for having me.
I I wanted to uh chat about uh this global warming fiasco.
Uh I'm an engineering physicist and my my my uh my work is is science.
And what's really interesting is most people don't realize this.
Petroleum is not dinosaur juice.
It doesn't come from uh dinosaurs that died millions of years ago.
Uh actually what happens is petroleum oil comes from green plants that are primarily in the water, and coal comes primarily from green plants that are on land.
And so what happens is uh right now the on almost all of the of the oceans are a great big solar collector.
When you burn uh gasoline in your car, you're burning solar collected energy that was the c that was collected uh years and years ago.
Uh what happens right now in photosynthesis, you get six uh molecules of carbon dioxide from the uh uh from the atmosphere.
You get six molecules of water, H2O from the atmosphere.
You combine the sun's energy, and you get one molecule of C6H1206, which is grape sugar.
That's the simplest packet of energy in all carbon-based fuels, and plus six beautiful molecules of pure hydrogen uh pure oxygen given right back to the atmosphere, Sean.
So petroleum recycles all the time.
I've run the numbers, and it's it's just like the United States or all of humankind uh using petroleum is like a birthday cake the size of a gymnasium, and you walk in there and you take one little scoop of frosting off the side of the birthday cake the size of a gymnasium.
That's how much oil we humans use.
It's in the noise.
Uh and and it's it all recycles, and it didn't stop recycling when the dinosaurs died.
It does so to this day.
All of the oceans with green plants are photos are are synthesizing C6H1206 and and producing oxygen.
The last thing I had to say, Sean, is that and and your friend uh Joe Bastardi, I believe, has mentioned this, and I love listening to him too when you have him on.
Uh what happens is right now the approximate concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is about uh four hundred and seventeen parts per million.
Green plants are really efficient when when the concentration is between a thousand and fifteen hundred parts per million.
So we're actually, believe it or not, in a carbon dioxide deficit right now.
And and the la and what happens is the the higher the concentration of carbon dioxide, the greater the capacity of the green plants to scrub it from the atmosphere and re and renew it into into carbon-based fuels that we can use.
So this whole global warming thing is uh is a fraud.
And if you take a look at the universities, they all have uh climate change institutes.
Imagine if some of these uh these faculty lounge dwellers with letters after their names came out and said, Well, you know, I don't really believe that global warming is all that big a deal or climate change.
They'd lose their funding in a heartbeat, Sean.
Listen, I I understand completely what you're saying.
I really do, and I don't understand the science, obviously, as you do.
Uh this is what you do for a living.
This is your area of expertise.
But I'll say this Donald Trump brought us energy independence, and we were the biggest uh in terms of a country, we reduce more carbon emissions than any other country on the face of the earth while simultaneously becoming energy independent.
You can't dispute that fact.
Anyway, appreciate you being with us, George.
