	This is an iHeart Podcast.
	Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
	All right, news round up information overload hour 800 941.
	Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
	Uh now heading towards 700,000 early votes in the state of Georgia.
	My only fear about that number is early voting tends to favor Democrats because there's been this reluctance, resistance among conservatives and Republicans to buy into early voting and mail in voting.
	And I'm saying until you get to the point where you can change the system, make election day a holiday, and allow people to, if they want, they can apply for an absentee ballot if you're in the military, if you're sick, elderly, infirmed, uh, maybe you're going to be out of town on business.
	You can apply for an absentee ballot that way, but then you have partisan observers in every precinct watching the voting taking place, and then the vote counting from start to finish up close.
	And then that nobody will ever question election results ever again in the future.
	But until you get to that system by electing Republican governors and Republican legislatures, uh you gotta stick with the system you got, and the system you got is okay.
	Now, for example, in this runoff in Georgia, you got early voting, which tends to favor Democrats, and uh Republicans then end up on election day one week from today behind the eight ball.
	Anyway, and they uh this is Herschel Walker, probably his latest ad slamming Raphael Warnock over the management of this Columbia Towers issue.
	I'm Herschel Walker, and I approve this message.
	Reverend Warnut praise on the floor.
	Warnock's apartments are filled with mold, filth, human feces, even rotting corpses.
	And they use the stairware carbon.
	Warnock's church pays him 7,000 a month for housing while he leaves people living in filth.
	Same on you.
	Senator Warnock, what are you doing to address the situation with the mold and corpses at Columbia Towers?
	Warnock exploits the poor and serves himself.
	Wow, there was a free beacon article that Warnock steered 16 million to a project that benefited the co co-owner of the controversial low-income apartment complex.
	Uh anyway, with us as former Speaker of the House, he knows Georgia really well.
	New Kingrich is with us.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm doing well, and frankly, I'm pretty excited by uh what's happening.
	I think that a lot of Republicans are turning out.
	I think that uh Governor Kemp uh coming off his big victory uh has piled on, and he and his team are doing everything they can to convince Republicans that this is a really important race, which it is.
	The difference between Herschel Walker winning and the Republicans being in a power-sharing 50-50 and Warnock winning and the Democrats being in the majority 5149, that difference is enormous because if you have 5050, then every committee is even.
	And that means the Democrats can't report anything out without Republican support.
	But if you're at 5149, every committee will have a Democrat majority, and they will be able to report out the weirdest judges, the strangest appointees, and the and the most obnoxious bills, and you won't be able to stop them.
	So this is actually a very big race over whether or not the Senate uh will have an ability for Republicans to block all the bad things that we know that Biden wants to do.
	And I think my sense is, by the way, that a lot of the early voting is Republicans.
	Why is that your sense?
	I mean, I'm looking at the numbers, I'm looking at the demographics, I'm looking at the comparisons that are on.
	Because our our our mutual friend Randy Evans went to vote and was shocked by the turnout, both the scale of it, he said he lives in Smyrna, which is has been a democratic area, and the turnout was overwhelmingly Republican.
	Uh and he was just really surprised.
	In fact, he took a picture and sent it to me, and I think I sent it to you as a text message, uh, and just said you look at that line, and you're looking at people who are gonna vote for Herschel.
	And I think that uh I think Herschel's also being helped by Georgia being in the US in the SEC championship on Saturday, and by the fact this is the first University of Georgia team to be undefeated since Herschel Walker was playing in Georgia.
	And so it sort of brings up a lot of pride for University of Georgia alumni.
	And I think there's a sense of going out to help him get elected.
	I think uh my sense is again, I also give uh Governor Kemp a a lot of credit.
	He's uh he's put together a great political organization.
	He beat he beat Stacey Abrams by a big margin.
	He actually got, I think, 20,000 more votes than Herschel.
	Uh, and if he can convince the the Kemp voters to now turn turn up for for Herschel, uh, this is going to be a very exciting election night.
	Let me let me play this ad.
	You mentioned Governor Kemp um, and uh he did cut this ad for Herschel.
	Let me play it.
	What in the next two years do you intend to do differently?
	Nothing.
	I'm not gonna change anything in any fundamental way.
	Families are struggling because of Biden's inflation and Washington won't change unless we make them.
	Georgia's doing better than the rest of the country because we stood up for hard working families.
	Herschel Walker will vote for Georgia, not be another rubber stamp for Joe Biden.
	That's why I'm back in Herschel.
	And I hope you'll join me in voting for him too.
	I mean, I think that's big, I think for a lot of reasons.
	I mean, the governor has proven himself extremely popular.
	Uh I I think it was pretty easy going up against the person that said the worst state to live in is the state she wanted to be the governor of.
	I don't think I've heard a politician make that big a blunder or the disaster, which is General Jim Crow 2.0, uh, and they turn out record.
	I mean an astounding record of voting in Georgia history in this past general election, and by the looks of it, this runoff might be breaking records as well.
	Yeah, I I it may actually be higher turnout than it was for the presidential campaign.
	I mean, for some reason people are on fire.
	They figured out this really matters.
	Uh, and I think I think they want Herschel to win.
	Um now we'll find out, you know, next Tuesday night, but I'm I'm I'm very encouraged by what I've heard so far and by what I see from the the campaign effort.
	Yeah.
	Let's let's look more broadly at elections have changed.
	And and you said something that I think was very, very interesting.
	Because look, you're a historian number one, you're a professor number two, uh, and you're a great strategic thinker and and politician number three.
	And when you made the statement that you have to re rethink every political election model that you ever believed in after this election, that that took me by surprise.
	Um as I look at it and discern objectively what I think happened.
	I think part of it is that the way we vote has changed and changed dramatically.
	So Republicans are not playing on a level playing field, and they're and part of it, you know, part of the blame has to go to them, doesn't it?
	No, no, absolutely.
	Look, I I think one one of my conclusions, and Joe Gaylord and I just did a podcast at Newt's World, uh, where we we talked about what we've learned so far, uh as sort of an initial tentative response.
	And I think part of it is that their m their mechanisms are just better than ours.
	Uh partly because they have the advantage of Google and Facebook and what have you.
	You know, Google was methodically not delivering Republican fundraising emails in the last four days of the month.
	Uh a lot of things going on to m to make it harder.
	But that but in addition, you you put your finger on a key point.
	Republicans have this tendency to h hold on to the money and then spend it in October.
	But if you have a third to half of your vote in the ballot box before you run your ad, then you're missing the whole point.
	And I think we we have to recognize also that in a number of states, uh Pennsylvania's a good example.
	Oz uh had had 40 million dollars in negative ads from his opponent in the primary.
	He came out of the primary exhausted with no money, and for about five weeks, the Democrats were defining Oz and he had no money to match them.
	Well, by the time they finish defining you, you're now clawing your way up out of a pretty deep hole.
	And I I think that the the Republicans have to have the guts to review everything to recognize that their consultant model may be wrong, their core campaign model may be wrong.
	Now, I mean this is not a disaster.
	We we we won a lot of governorships by huge margins.
	We got over three million more votes than the Democrats for the House.
	Uh there were a lot of things that that that give give me hope.
	I mean, we've had a substantial increase in the Hispanic vote, a substantial increase in the Asian American vote, uh a modest but real increase in the African American vote.
	Um the only age group we lost Was under 29, and I think that's that's something we can work with and we can change.
	But every other age group we were doing fine.
	And I think that uh so I don't think we need to be despondent and defeated, but we do have to recognize that there were there were some things the Democrats were doing better than us.
	And you know, it's a little bit like a football team.
	If you go out there and the other guys invented two or three new plays, you had better learn how to stop them, and you better learn how to win uh, or there's no point in showing up.
	What do you think?
	And I've thrown this at you once or twice already, but I want to get your thoughts on it.
	I call it accelerated migration.
	You have a combination of the baby boomers now ready to retire.
	They want to go to uh uh states that have lower taxes, better weather, uh accelerated by COVID because they don't like shutdowns.
	Uh they want their kids to have in-person learning, and so states like Indiana and Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania, et cetera, they're all moving to Tennessee, the Carolinas, Florida, and Texas, making those states harder for any Republican to win the presidency and get to the magic number of two seventy electoral votes.
	Do you think there's some truth to what I'm saying?
	Yeah, I think there's some truth.
	On the other hand, if Latinos continue to migrate towards us, that will more than offset the impact of internal migration.
	Uh and if if Asian Americans keep coming our way, and I think we had a 17-point increase in Asian American support for Republicans between 2018 and 2022.
	And despite all the talk about abortion, by the way, we actually did substantially better with women in 22 than we did in in 2018.
	Mr. Speaker, we won the popular vote.
	When do we ever win the popular vote?
	Never.
	Well, I th I we did some in the in the 1980s, and the Democrats had gerrymandered us out of out of winning.
	I mean, if I had said to you back in January, the margin of the majority in the House will be seats from New York and California.
	You would have thought that.
	Never would have believed it.
	I would have called the crazy.
	I wouldn't have believed either.
	But but things evolve, and I think uh So what is your big takeaway?
	What are the changes that need to be made?
	Because you've had time to digest these numbers as I have, and and those those are the two big things I come up with is that Republicans need to embrace whether they like the system or not, the one that they have, not the one they wish they've had.
	And number two, they better pay attention to this migration issue because yeah, Florida will win by 19 percentage points.
	We don't have to worry about Ohio anymore, but we're gonna be fighting like hell for Georgia and Pennsylvania, and if Wisconsin and Michigan were hard before, they're gonna be harder now, and the same with Arizona.
	Yeah, I I would say a couple of things.
	Uh one, I think that we have to recognize Democrats focus on the election.
	We focus on the campaign, uh, and I think we need to learn to focus on the election.
	I mean, what matters is how many votes do you get in the ballot box, not how many TV ads do you run.
	And our consulting model is by is basically wrong because it rewards the consultants to be overly committed on television and not as committed on the ground game and on and on our early voting.
	Uh second, I would say we have got to figure out how to break into Gen Z and how to compete there.
	That's the one group we got beaten badly in.
	It is doable, uh, but it requires us to be.
	Is it because they wanted their student loan debt for given?
	Is that why?
	Oh, I think it was a combination of it.
	It became the end thing to do.
	Uh and and I am told that in a number of universities they actually offered people uh additional uh points on their final score if they'd go vote.
	So I think you had 73% turnout in Ann Arbor, for example, the University of Michigan.
	I mean, just amazing.
	Um and I'd say that the other thing we have to recognize is we something we've worked on a lot at that uh America's uh new majority uh dot com, which people can go see for themselves, uh that um there is a cultural majority that's huge, but we don't translate it into a political majority.
	And because they are a machine in places like New York, I mean, how can the how can the governor, given the the crime record, given everything else going on, how can she get sixty-nine percent of the vote in New York City?
	Well, that that's a machine problem.
	Uh that's not just a conversion problem, but that's figuring out that they have built a real machine.
	Hey there.
	I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
	And I'm Carol Markowitz.
	We've been in political media for a long time.
	Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
	That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
	We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
	We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
	So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional SAS.
	You're our kind of people.
	Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
	Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
	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.

	You're our kind of people.
	Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
	All right, we continue more with New Kingrich, former Speaker of the House.
	What about candidate selection?
	Like Mastriano, for example, a nice guy, you met him.
	You were at our town hall in Pennsylvania, but no exceptions for rape incest to the mother's life on abortion in a purple state.
	Oz did make those exceptions, and he did have ticket splitting that were double digits.
	I mean, Mastriano lost by uh, you know, a whopping 14 points, Oz by what, two, two and a half points.
	Yeah, and this was happening all over the country.
	You know, Ron Johnson ran well ahead of the candidate for governor, and the candidate for governor was like Mastrano.
	I mean, I think part of what people have to recognize, no matter how pro-life you are personally, you are not going to win an election with a hardline, no exception position.
	You can win an election with exceptions for rape and incest and life of the mother.
	You can win an election with with a cutoff at say 15 weeks, uh, which is actually much preferable to people than the Democratic Party position of of abortion on uh with uh tax pay or paying for it all the way up through the ninth month.
	But again, you've got to understand that the country was sending certain signals.
	They weren't gonna go that far.
	And you just have to decide are you are you a political party trying to win an election, or are you an issue-oriented group that wants to make a statement while you get beat?
	Oh, I think you raised a lot of good questions.
	Uh, and and I think we're gonna get to the answer sooner than later, and I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of uh analysis in the days, weeks, months ahead, and hopefully they make you know, uh they they make uh adjustments and they adapt to the changing conditions uh that are in the country, and then hopefully bring in a system that makes more sense.
	Uh anyway, New Gingrich, thanks for being with us.
	Appreciate it.
	Good talk to you.
	This is the Sean Hannity show.
	All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
	Peter Ducey did a great job yesterday.
	John Kirby was uh the White House press secretary for the day.
	Anyway, Deucey grilling him on the issue of oil companies now drilling in Venezuela, and now they're gonna make a murdering thug dictator like Maduro rich when 50% of the world doesn't even recognize him as the legitimately elected president of Venezuela.
	Listen.
	On the sanctions relief for Venezuela.
	Yes, why is it the President Biden would rather let U.S. companies drill for oil in Venezuela than here in the U.S.?
	That's uh not an accurate take on the president's view.
	Earlier this month he said no more drilling.
	There is no more drilling.
	Does the president think there's some benefit to the climate to drill oil in Venezuela and not here?
	Pretty unbelievable.
	No answer for that at all, whatsoever.
	Um Kevin McCarthy made a challenge to uh to Joe Biden and the administration, invited Biden to the border and explained to to explain how bad it is.
	Why is there this resistance?
	Why won't Kamala Harris the borders are?
	Why won't Joe Biden go down there?
	Why won't they look for themselves and see what these these states are having to deal with?
	I'll tell you the answer because they know what they know what's going on down there.
	They don't care.
	They support it.
	They're advocating it.
	And Chuck Schumer made it clear after the election that he wants amnesty for every illegal immigrant.
	Anyway, here's McCarthy saying that and talking about how out of control the bo border is right now.
	I think the administration got an indication it's going to be different.
	How so?
	Um I invited the president to go to the border with me.
	I explained to the president, he asked me about the borders, I told him about my current trip.
	Just an El Paso.
	in one overhang of a freeway, 70,000 people have come across in the last seven weeks.
	If we would send people back to the country that they came from, the border agents would tell you they stopped coming.
	The border agents themselves are cut short that there's not enough of them.
	That they're sitting and working the job as processing.
	We could have somebody else with that job so they could be out front.
	Explain to the president what I saw.
	Well, you can see the videos of these cartels literally shooting tracers at our National Guard.
	A woman hung because she didn't pay the cartel.
	Her feet cut off, put on fire.
	That the cartel is controlling as you watch them across.
	But I also explained to him what's happening when it comes to fentanyl.
	There's not just any city.
	Every city today is now a border city.
	In our own junior high.
	A junior high, the age of 13 brought 150 fentanyl pills to school.
	It's killing our youngest generation from 18 to 45, the number one factor coming from China, making these cartels wealthy.
	So you've got to lean on President Xi.
	You gotta stop the cartels.
	And my expression to the president, too, was it is it a different situation now that it's become so bad that we need to have our own military embedded with the border agents to be able to be on the level competing with these cartels and what they have done.
	The control of our border is lost right now.
	That is why I asked Homeland Security Secretary to resign.
	And come January 3rd, we'll have an investigation of why the border has become the situation it is, and not to allow them to continue along the same path.
	All right, let's get to our busy phones here.
	Crazy times we're living in.
	Uh let's say hi to is it Jed is in Florida.
	Jed, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	I'm great, Sean.
	Thanks for taking my call.
	Yes, sir.
	What's going on?
	I wanted to uh talk a little bit about I grew up in South Florida.
	My father was a you're breaking up on me.
	Let me uh let me try and get you back.
	Uh let's try Barbara in Florida.
	Barbara, how are you?
	Hi, Sean.
	Great playing.
	What's going on?
	Hi, can you hear me?
	Yes, ma'am, the pleasure's all mine.
	Glad you called.
	Yes, sir.
	I just wanted to make a comment about the uh situation with Twitter and the people who are swearing that they're going to leave because of Elon Musk.
	Um, you know, I've never had a Twitter account in my life.
	But if it will help more liberals to leave the platform, I will gladly create an account and pay my eight bucks, and I'll create an account for my husband if I get his eight bucks too.
	Well, by the way, you only need the eight bucks if you get a blue check mark, meaning it authenticates somebody that's in the public eye, so you don't have to pay the eight bucks.
	You can just sign up for free and get your own Twitter handle.
	Um I'm interested.
	Well, let me backtrack.
	I find this everything about Elon Musk is pretty fascinating to me.
	This guy's got a wicked sense of humor.
	The left can't take it.
	They're bubbling and fizzing.
	It's sort of like the same reaction they have to Donald Trump.
	Um I found his tweet, his tease about dropping a bombshell about how Twitter free speech suppression files that he found.
	I'm assuming that has to do with Hunter Biden's laptop issue weeks before the 2020 election.
	So I would really look forward to seeing what he has on that.
	Uh then he takes on Apple and Apple's power in a series of tweets yesterday.
	He accused Apple of threatening to pull Twitter from its app store and trying to censor Twitter, and his answer is fine.
	I'll take on Apple and I'll build a bitter a better phone than they do, and I'll take them on.
	And anyway, so he's going up against some of the most powerful forces in the country.
	He seems pretty fearless to me.
	And he actually wrote, This is a battle for the future of civilization.
	If free speech is lost in America, tyranny is all that lies ahead.
	I mean, he's he's just a smart guy.
	I find I find what he says unique and interesting.
	I love his combative personality, and and he certainly has, you know, it's just interesting to watch him work.
	That's what I find.
	So I said when AOC said she's not going to pay the eight bucks, he says basically don't let the door hit you on the way out.
	Uh I wrote, well, if that's gonna, you know, cause squad members to leave Twitter, then I'm gonna I'm willing to pay the eight bucks because that's gonna be a better place.
	Twitter is is so dominated by the left, um, which is why I don't even have my Twitter account password.
	My staff will not give it to me because I told them to never give it to me, even if I beg for it.
	Well, I understand that.
	I've never seen the the need to have Twitter.
	Um I've been cautioned a couple of times on Facebook that I was being inappropriate, um, not meeting their community guidelines.
	But I I'm I love Elon Musk.
	I think he's doing a wonderful job.
	I'm fascinated by him, and I think it's it's gonna take somebody like him to take on the left.
	Yeah, I think it's pretty fascinating.
	Um anyway, good call.
	Barbara, great call.
	Hope you'll check in often.
	We appreciate it.
	Um, I did like the Alyssa Milano exchange, Linda.
	We talked a little bit about it yesterday, and she said she traded in her Tesla, and she got uh an electric vehicle from Volkswagen, and I did not know the history of Volkswagen, apparently was created uh by the Nazis in World War II.
	Yeah, I think it's um, you know, it's really it's really a shame, you know, Alyssa Milano.
	I I I I struggle a lot.
	Anthony and I talk about this all the time.
	I really do struggle with watching anything or listening to anything anymore because these people that are just you know talking heads or musicians, you know, like do your craft, whatever that is, and stay out of politics because you have no idea what you're talking about.
	And not for nothing, if you're gonna tweet something and blast the CEO of a company, please do your homework, get your facts straight.
	Like if I was gonna tweet something to like at Jack when he was running Twitter, and I was gonna blast him, I can promise you I would do my homework before I blasted him on his own platform.
	Like, she's so stupid.
	I I mean, it's not even hard.
	Like, if you're gonna say something like that, do a little bit of homework, try a little harder.
	But she's so used to having other people write her words for her and just hopping on a bandwagon and trying to stay relevant.
	Just be quiet, live in your moment.
	Who's the boss is done, it's done.
	Time to move on.
	Let it go.
	It's okay.
	What was that the eighties or the nineties?
	Yes, that's the eighties, you know.
	Oh my gosh.
	It's and that was a great thing.
	I don't really care about her.
	It's to me, it's just interesting how wrong they are.
	One thing that you know, we we spent a lot of time today talking about Georgia and the elections, etc.
	etc.
	This is one truth that I know this audience doesn't want to hear.
	There are way more people that have been buying into radical socialism, climate alarmism, than we have any idea about.
	I mean, to us, to anybody with a brain, it's it's obvious that the lifeblood of the world's economy is oil, gas, and coal.
	There is no alternative.
	There are no renewables that can fill the gaps, even come close to filling the gaps, and that means for the near future defined as the next couple of decades.
	So, you know, he here's Elon Musk.
	I'll give you another example of him.
	Even he is saying, and and this is Mr. Electric Vehicle, that we're gonna have to drill more, we're gonna have to get more natural gas and frack, uh, because we don't have the technology that they say they want to transition to.
	Transition to what?
	You know, when Joe Biden made the comment, no new coal plants, and we're gonna shut the plants down.
	Okay, what what are you gonna replace it with?
	It it'll be fascinating to see this winner.
	How much first of all, people's reaction to the high cost of of heating their homes.
	Secondly, what happens if the New England power grid shuts down because they don't have enough natural gas to run it?
	Can I very real possibility.
	Go ahead.
	Can I say something to all of this?
	You know, I was thinking this yesterday.
	I didn't say anything because I was too angry, but today I'm a little bit more even keel, I think, because I'm just, I feel so exhausted by the whole thing, which is there's I am.
	I'm exhausted.
	I'm so sick and tired of just dealing with stupid and co and willful ignorance, like the actual original definition of ignorance.
	Like you're choosing to not know, which, okay, fine.
	My issue is this.
	Right now we got a bunch of kids that are sick, right?
	Because we masked them up and we kept them home and now we threw them all back together, and there's this just exacerbated cold and flu season with the RSV, and you know, my little guys are no exception to this, and we're kind of all going through it.
	But what's really troubling is you go to the pharmacy, you go to the store, you don't have baby formula, you don't have baby Motrim, you don't have kids motrim, you don't have coffin cold syrup for kids.
	You don't have a Moxicillin, Tamuflu, you don't have anything because 90% of our stuff is made in China.
	Now, the hard part about all of this is that now we have our antibiotics and our pharmaceuticals, which have been for years been being made in China.
	We have our oil and our energy supply coming from communist dictators and and countries that don't support American ways of life in any way, shape, or form.
	And then we're completely and totally bankrupting our own nation all at the same time.
	And people want to talk about things that have absolutely nothing to do with stuff that we actually care about, like putting food on the table.
	Because you can't put food on the table because we're on the verge of a railroad strike.
	We've got China in a massive lockdown for no reason other than control, which we get 30 to 40% of just some of our basic goods from them, beyond just the medicines.
	And I and I talked to somebody today, and she's like, I don't understand what's happening in the world.
	And she meant it sincerely.
	And I said, Well, what when you think of global warming, what do you think of?
	And she was like, Oh, I just feel like we need to protect our our world and we need to go green.
	I said, okay, well, what does go green mean to you?
	What does that mean?
	And she just kind of looked at me.
	I'm like, get off of the soapbox and tell me what it means to you.
	And she's like, to put my plastic in recycling.
	I'm like, okay.
	Well, plastic is made from oil.
	And oil comes from the earth.
	And we are the number one country in technology and clean drilling and clean hydrofracking.
	You look at places like India and China and Venezuela, they're not doing Russia.
	We're not doing clean drilling over there.
	It's dirty.
	It's not good for the environment.
	So if you really care about the environment, bring it back to America.
	I mean, sorry that I'm on our tangent here, but it just ticks me off.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Yeah, uh, listen, is these the lack of uh knowledge and the the level of ignorance is mind-numbing.
	Yes.
	It just is.
	And and the thing is they think we're crazy.
	Then they're the ones that are absolutely nuts.
	And can I play one more thing, Sean, that you've played that I think we should play again?
	We've got this scientist talking about, okay, you don't want to use oil, you want to use electric cars.
	Let me explain to you how that really works.
	Go ahead, Jay.
	Do we want to go all electric by 2035?
	Is it practical to do it now?
	Well, we can make this whole discussion easy with the two-letter word.
	No.
	There's no such thing, of course, as a zero emissions vehicle.
	The real question is, where are the emissions associated with the electric car?
	Because what you do with an electric vehicle is you don't eliminate emissions, you export them somewhere else.
	You have to dig up about 500,000 pounds of materials to make a single thousand pound battery.
	It takes 100 to 300 barrels of oil to manufacture a battery that can hold one barrel of oil equivalent of energy.
	Just manufacturing the battery can have a carbon debt rate ranging from 10 tons to 40 tons of CO2.
	And the plans that are in place to increase the use of batteries will require an increase in production of minerals like lithium, cobalt, zinc.
	Demand for those minerals will increase between 400% and 4,000%.
	Is there enough mining in the world to make enough batteries for that many people for their car?
	Yep.
	Wow.
	There you go.
	Who's been saying this?
	22 grand more to build an electric vehicle over a gas-powered vehicle.
	That's what it costs, 22 grand more.
	Then you gotta use heavy equipment that uses diesel to pillage Mother Earth for the manganese, the cobalt and nickel, and all the other of all the other minerals necessary.
	Then you're gonna power up the electric vehicle with a grid that is 90% built on fossil fuels.
	How does that make any sense?
	It doesn't.
	All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
	Hannity tonight, nine Eastern Fox News, Senator Ted Cruz, Kevin McCarthy, Kellyanne Conway, Mike Huckabee, Mark Meadows, Pete Heggseth, Leo 2.0 Terrell, and Pam Bondi.
	News you'll never get from the media mob, nine Eastern Hannity on Fox.
	We'll see you then back here tomorrow.
	And thank you for making this show possible.
