	All right, hour two, Sean Hannity Show toll-free.
	It's 800-941 Sean if you want to be a part of the program.
	Joining us now, former vice president, uh friend of the program, Mike Pence is back with us.
	Sir, how are you?
	I'm great, Sean.
	Great to be back on.
	Thanks.
	We appreciate it as always.
	You know, I've been spending a lot of time talking about two issues, and I really want to go into depth uh on these two issues with you if I can.
	I'm looking at the economy, it's a mess.
	We have given up the fight on energy independence, and we're now even importing energy oil from Venezuela, which is insane to me.
	Um we see what's happening where you know people can't afford to put enough food on their table.
	Seventy percent of Americans are suffering because of Biden's economic and energy policies, and then I'm watching an unholy alliance emerge right before my eyes.
	I call it a new access of evil, and that is Russia, China, and Iran, and they're picking off some of our former allies like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, and others were discovering they're they're picking sides and they're picking China to be the dominant force or superpower in the world, and we have a president missing in action.
	So I'll throw it out there, and we can get started.
	Whichever topic you want to start with is fine with me, but I'm I've never been this afraid for my country as I am right now.
	Well, Sean, look, yeah, this country's in a lot of trouble.
	And it's because President Joe Biden has weakened America at home and abroad.
	But not surprisingly, you put your finger on just what I was talking about.
	I gave a speech at an energy conference a couple of days ago in California at the Nixon Library.
	And we talked about the economy, we talked about foreign policy, but we began with the Biden administration's war on energy.
	Literally, from day one shutting down the Keystone and Dakota pipeline, shutting down the Alaska National Wildlife Region, I mean, I mean, suppressing additional leases and exploration not only caused gasoline prices to go through the roof, but as you know, it reversed all the progress we made under the Trump Pence administration, where we became a net exporter of energy.
	We achieved energy independence for the first time in 70 years.
	Everything proceeded out of that.
	The gusher of spending in Washington, D.C. lit off inflation.
	But I mean to tell you the fact that that President Biden had to go hat in hand overseas uh to Saudi Arabia and OPEC to beg them to pump more oil, and they turned him down, just shows you what happens when you have weak leadership at home, when you have policies that are hamstringing American energy and the American economy.
	It weakens us uh not only not only here, not only harming families and the budgets, but it weakens America's place in the world.
	But it just it I'm it I'm not surprised.
	You started right where it all begins.
	That speech I gave is uh up on YouTube now about the central issue here is the is the war on energy, and it's one of the reasons in the next year and a half.
	We've got to win, we've got to win the Senate, we've got to win wider mark margins in the House, and and we've got to get back to energy independence and have a new Republican president that'll lead us back to where we were in the Trump inch years.
	Do you agree with my analysis that China has created this alliance with Russia and Iran, the new axis of evil?
	And do you agree with my analysis that the Saudis have chosen sides now, and they've decided to bet on the China being the world's lone superpower, and immediately after China brokered a deal between the Saudis and Iran, and now that they're doing it with Syria, uh what what did OPEC do?
	They responded by cutting down production by a million three barrels a day.
	Uh was that w were those directions coming straight from uh China?
	To me, it looks like it.
	Well, I I think you look, I'd say this very respectfully.
	I think you might be giving China too much credit.
	They're just operating in a vacuum of American leadership.
	But aren't they aren't they trying to fill that void?
	That's what I'm asking.
	No, thousand percent right, but what I'm saying is what's what's changed under the Biden administration is we were leading on the world stage for all remember all the talk in 2016 that America knew isolationism and America was gonna pull in the shutters.
	No, that isn't what America first meant.
	America first meant that we were going to engage the world, but we were going to engage the world in a way that put America's interest in American workers and American security first.
	But but uh in engaging the wider Arab world, supporting Israel as never before actually resulted in the first peace agreement in 25 years in the Abraham Accords.
	But since this administration came in and started begging Iran to come back to the table in the Iran nuclear deal, capitulated long before the first shot was fired in Ukraine, they capitulated to Russia on Nord Stream II.
	They've been projecting weakness on the world stage, most notably the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
	It's a vacuum of American leadership, and you're absolutely right that uh whether it's the recent deal that China negotiated between Iran and Saudi Arabia, China is attempting to step forward and fill that void that was once filled with strong American leadership.
	And and these are number one, number two, and number three geopolitical foes, and and I really believe that they that Joe Biden has simply abdicated his role as the leader of the free world, and frankly, uh the sole superpower of the world, and I think China's trying to fill it.
	I think a lot of it is related to energy.
	You know, economically, think about this.
	Is it not good for American national security to be energy independent?
	Is it not good to create high-paying career jobs in the energy sector?
	Is it not good that America has you know it's a lifeblood of the world's economy and America has cheap energy?
	Would it not be good if we became energy dominant and we have all these customers, allies of ours in Western Europe and provide them with all of their energy needs?
	Uh we'd be an energy rich nation, wouldn't we?
	Well, it's it it's uh you know, it it's not good for everybody except environmental extremists who long for these regardless of the impact uh on the United States and on working families.
	And uh and that's just the hard fact.
	Your millions of listeners know that.
	I mean, uh that I know the Biden administration tried to blame high gas prices last year on the war in Ukraine, but gasoline prices were up fifty percent before before the the Russian invasion in Ukraine even began.
	So this is a result not of the war in Ukraine, but of the war on energy.
	And the American people see through it.
	It's like this latest thing with the with the EPA and the Biden administration announcing their new regulations about trying to drive the American people into electric cars.
	As I said, I was in California.
	You got Gavin Newsom out there that uh this administration has praised because he essentially wants to end the sale uh of gasoline-powered cars uh by 2030 in California.
	And you know who the big winner is on that, China?
	I I I don't have to tell you, Shaw, but it's China.
	China makes most of the batteries that go in these electric vehicles, and so uh this administration is driving forward, they're driving us into these uh new, more expensive vehicles when the instead of letting the American people choose to drive what they want to drive, the big winner, of course, is not only radical environmentalists, but China.
	Let me ask you about the 2020 election in this sense, and I believe elections are about the future, but we're learning a lot.
	Um we now know that Mike Morrell gave testimony that in fact it was Tony Blinken, the Secretary of State that initiated that letter of 51 former Intel officials uh that before the election in 2020, saying that the Hunter Biden laptop had all the markings of uh foreign interference and and and it didn't look credible to any of them.
	Fifty-one top former Intel people.
	Tony Blinken led that effort.
	They had no evidence at all whatsoever to back that up.
	We now know that the laptop was very real and that the FBI had it in their possession in December of 2019.
	You know, is that a kind of election interference?
	Well, the look, it in in uh in my recent memoir, as you know, I I said that the suppression of the Hunter laptop story by major arteries of uh uh of the legacy media and by big tech and and now we know this this collaboration of former intelligence officials that it was a disgrace uh that that information was denied to the American people,
	and it would be a year and a half later that these major arteries of the media said, Oh, oh, by the way, the Hunter laptop was real, and therefore all the information that made it into the into the public domain exclusively through the New York Post was true.
	And the American people deserve to know that going into the election.
	There's some But but here's the where it gets worse though.
	Because the quick break more with former Vice President Mike Pence on the other side uh is the former vice president thinking of running for president.
	We'll ask him.
	Uh great Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on Fox.
	Hope you'll join us.
	You know, since Roe v.
	Wade, sixty million plus lives lost because of abortion, pretty devastating numbers.
	Now we have partnered with a uh group called pre born, and it's making such a difference if you're pro-life, if you believe in the sanctity of life, you're gonna love pre-born.
	Now their network clinics bring hope to pregnant women.
	In other words, expecting women are given free ultrasounds.
	So in other words, they're using the science of ultrasound imaging, 4D imaging, and what happens is expecting moms see you know, hands and fingers and toes and and feet and facial features, they hear the heartbeat, and what they're learning is because of that science that the odds go up dramatically that women will no longer consider abortion as an alternative.
	And the great thing about preborn is they don't just help with an ultrasound.
	They're available for counseling.
	Uh if you choose life, they will give you baby formula, diapers.
	They're gonna stay with you and help you all throughout your pregnancy and after your pregnancy.
	Anyway, one of these ultrasounds, they're all for free, or 28 bucks.
	Uh you can sponsor as many as you like.
	Every penny goes right towards the cause.
	Uh I recently donated myself.
	I bought two ultrasound machines.
	Uh they need them desperately for some of these facilities.
	They don't have enough.
	Uh whatever you can donate will be really appreciated.
	Just dial pound two fifty, say the keyword baby, pound two fifty keyword baby, not a dime from the government because they're not planned parenthood.
	Anyway, uh pound two fifty, keyword baby, or preborn.com slash Sean.
	That's pre-born.com slash Sean S E A N. And you know what?
	You might be saving someone's life today.
	All right, we continue with former Vice President Mike Pence's with us today.
	The FBI had a copy in December of 2019, but they also knew that Rudy Giuliani, who was the president's attorney at the time, had a copy and that it would likely leak.
	But we now have since learned that in the months and leading up to the 2020 election that FBI officials were meeting weekly with big tech companies and warning them that they may be targeted for misinformation campaigns.
	And one person in particular testifying in a case in Missouri uh under then Attorney General Eric Schmidt.
	Now Senator Schmidt uh literally said Yoel Roth is his name, the former integrity site head at Twitter, that in fact they warned that the misinformation might be about Joe Biden or Hunter Biden.
	Now the FBI had the laptop.
	How long would it take the FBI to authenticate that?
	I don't think very long.
	Well, it it would it it would have taken them less time than for Joe Biden to ask Hunter, did you leave your laptop at the pawn shop?
	Exactly.
	In fact, the fact that Joe Biden in the national debate cites a letter by some fifty former intelligence officials who now we know all of them that have gone public have said we have no access to any information about it.
	We just we signed a letter believing it sounded like Tony Blinken led up the effort.
	That's and did Tony Blinken get rewarded by being Secretary of State?
	Well, thank uh and thanks for what you did on television last night in in bringing this to the country.
	I look I I have great confidence in our Republican majority that they're gonna put daylight on this thing, but it's uh I I just I'm I I have to tell you it's one of the great one the greatest injustices in American politics that that Joe Biden was standing at the podium standing at the podium in that presidential debate, uh, and he recited a letter saying that it was the laptop story was likely Russian disinformation.
	When Sean, uh why why wouldn't he just ask your son?
	By the way, I I have that I have that moment.
	I uh we're running out of time, so I don't think I'll play it, but you're a hundred percent right in what you're saying.
	Um I can't let you go and and not talk about your future.
	Um by the way, I want people to know something about Mike Pence.
	You know, there was a couple of negative news stories about me.
	I won't get into the details at all.
	But anyway, you're the vice president of the United States, and you pick up a phone and you call me and you say, I'm just thinking about you, praying for you, and I hope you're okay.
	And I was shocked at your level of kindness.
	It meant a lot to me.
	Thank you.
	Well, you mean a lot to uh our family, you mean a lot to an awful lot of people, Sean.
	So God bless you.
	We well appreciate so much.
	Very kind.
	Let's talk about your future.
	I know you're thinking about it.
	A run potentially for the presidency.
	That would mean you would be running against your former partner.
	Uh, where are you in that process?
	Well, we're you know, we're getting a lot of encouragement from around the country.
	I'll be back in Iowa tomorrow for a faith and freedom gathering.
	I'll be in Georgia, uh speaking at a wonderful church uh in in one of your favorite cities in the country back uh in Atlanta.
	And then we're gonna continue to travel and listen and learn.
	And I I I just I'll I'll end where I began this conversation.
	I think the country's in a lot of trouble.
	Uh and I think the American people long to get back to the policies that we were advancing under the Trump Pence administration, and uh we're gonna continue to work out as a family exactly what role we'd play in that.
	But uh I I promise when uh when the time comes that we're ready to make some announcement, I'll make it I'll make it right on uh on Sean Hannity's show.
	Well, we appreciate it.
	Uh we really do.
	The four years of your administration with President Trump were amazing for this country.
	And we need to get back to that.
	We need peace through strength.
	We need a pres a president that is respected worldwide.
	Uh we need an economy that lifts people up, and we need energy independence desperately, and we need our borders under control.
	They're not.
	All of this is happening, and it's it's never been this bad to me.
	Well, we did it before, and I know the American people can do it again.
	And uh just couldn't be more grateful for your voice.
	All right, former Vice President Mike Pence, we appreciate you being with us.
	800-941 Sean, our number, you want to be a part of the program, your calls, comments coming up straight ahead.
	James Gomez, you have the right to remain silent, and you might want to use it.
	This is the Sean Hannity Show.
	All right, 25 now to the uh top of the hour.
	Happy Friday.
	Man, these weeks fly by, don't they, Linda?
	They go fast.
	Um, well, that's it.
	Good times.
	Yeah, Joe's doing everything right.
	The country's, you know, just rolling along in great shape.
	Actually, with inflation on the rise, stock market stock market more volatile than ever, you know, protecting your retirement savings.
	That can be a real challenge now to weather today's economic uncertainty.
	Our friends at the Phoenix Capital Group, they're recommending that you diversify your investments and do it right now.
	And by the way, every good financial advisor I know says the same thing.
	Now, in Phoenix Capitol's case, they are recommending high-value U.S. oil and gas investments, the ones that are not as tied to the federal government, uh, but more aligned with states.
	They'll tell you all about it.
	Uh currently their yielding uh ranges from eight to twelve percent APY paid monthly.
	That's a way better rate of return than banks or CDs, no middleman.
	Uh they are both regulation A plus and Regulation D Corp bond offerings.
	There is a distinction with different uh maturities, qualifications, rates.
	Uh, and by the way, they have openings for investors in all categories.
	They have a nine percent APY starting at five grand.
	Anyway, do your due diligence, talk to your own financial advisor.
	You know, whenever you're investing money, you gotta carefully consider review any risk involved.

	Uh oh, I see Hakeem Jeffries is uh weighed in on the issue of trans women competing in sports is not an issue, apparently for him.
	Listen.
	And the extreme agro republicans are trying to sensationalize an issue that doesn't really exist in the way that they are falsely portraying.
	Tell that to Riley Gaines, who we interviewed this week on the program.
	Tell that to you know, the other athletes.
	You know what it's like to become a division one athlete in this country?
	Uh look at Riley Gaines story.
	You know, three hours in the pool before she even goes to school.
	Three more hours in the afternoon after she goes to school, then she's got to go home, study, do her homework.
	Uh not a lot of time for a social life, but she was dedicated that much to her sport.
	Along comes Leah Thomas.
	Leah Thomas is out there, and it's like, oh, okay, biological male, trans woman, and now you're competing, and there's uh obvious strength advantage for Leah Thomas, you know, and it's just unfair.
	Now, if you want fundamental fairness, I'll I'll even I'll go the extra mile to bridge the gap.
	If you have men's sports and you have women's sports and colleges want to adopt a transport program, let them go ahead.
	Does that sound fair, Linda?
	Listen, I want to mention one thing.
	I don't know if I should wait a minute.
	This might have been a mistake to ask you.
	I think I should go to the calls.
	Listen, I'm one I'll let you go to the course, but this is a very simple statement.
	I just want everyone to look at Leah Thomas.
	Wingspan alone.
	She's physically so dominant.
	I mean it's not even fair.
	And let me tell you something.
	We've got all these women in these UFC and wrestling matches that are out with concussions, brain contusions, laid up in the hospital.
	You don't see any of those women getting any coverage on any of these MSMs, talking about, you know, women's rights and the movement and you know hello.
	Does anybody remember we have to the believe movement where every woman's voice had to be heard?
	Not these women.
	If you want to fight back against trans, you are not allowed to.
	They're getting hurt.
	Instead of protecting life is fine.
	Biologically forget it.
	Instead of protecting Title IX, the Biden administration is turning its turning it on its head.
	Title IX was to bring fundamental fairness to women for women's sports.
	Now, Caitlin Jenner was on TV last night, completely agrees with with me and Riley Gaines completely.
	Anyway, 800 941 Sean, if you uh want to be a part of the program.
	But Democrats are not looking out for women.
	Now they say they're looking out for women and the right to an abortion, but so many Democrats now have gone so extreme that they're okay with abortion up until the moment of birth.
	And then you got idiots like the former governor of the uh state of Virginia, Commonwealth of Virginia, Northham, first will deliver the baby, then make sure the baby's comfortable, and then the doctor and the mom can decide whether or not the baby lives or dies.
	I mean, these people are out of their minds.
	Anyway, 800-941 Sean, our number, you want to be a part of the program.
	We'll go out to the liberal leftist state, the socialist utopia known as California.
	Carl, you're up on the Sean Hannity show.
	Happy Friday, sir.
	Yeah, hi, Sean.
	Uh great chance to talk with you.
	Um, you know, I listen to you uh every day.
	Uh you know, I have a real major concern right now.
	Uh I believe that even if we have the uh Biden crime family uh dead in rights with uh their corruption and and uh ironclad case, I I can't see a I I can't see a prosecutor in Washington actually indict them.
	I I'm I'm thinking I are there my question to you is is there anything being done to prepare for that?
	I mean, there's the corruption is so profound, and and I'm I'm just really well it it's uh it's it's upsetting.
	Well, there's a lot to be upset about.
	However, I do think the walls are now closing in on the Biden family syndicate.
	The way it looks like this is gonna go down.
	I'm beginning to get a window or glimpse into where I think they're headed with this.
	And I think what they're gonna do is they'll charge Hunter, you know, the low-hanging fruit, the tax issues that that are associated with this, um, the gun application that he lied on.
	I I think those issues will he'll be charged with, but that doesn't even begin to touch the surface of the deeper issue of how much money they were doing with our geopolitical foes and how much money in business we need an answer.
	We need an answer about Russia, China, Ukraine, and a dozen other countries, and we need to follow the money.
	We need to look deeply into these suspicious activity reports.
	We need to follow these LLCs that apparently did no business except hide Biden family syndicate money, according to James Comer.
	So we need to get to the bottom bottom of it all.
	I don't have all the answers.
	The investigation's ongoing.
	We're learning more every day, and I think this is so big.
	I think at the end of the day, this is a clear and present danger to Joe Biden.
	Joe Biden has lied to the country and they have cashed in as a family to a level that nobody ever believed could be possible.
	So hang in there.
	Let not your heart be troubled.
	We'll stay on it.
	I promise you.
	That's my job.
	Thank you.
	A question with this though.
	Do you think do you think it might be possible to get maybe a deal should be made with Hunter to come clean?
	And let's let's get everybody else, if it keeps him with a minimal jail sentence, something like that, some kind of a deal, so that we can get the people that are really the uh people that are hurting or traitors to our country.
	I I did uh you broke up on a second there.
	Can you repeat that part again?
	Yeah, I was hoping that maybe a deal could be made with Hunter so that we could uh get to the people who are really the traitors to the country like Joe Biden.
	Do you think uh I'm not willing to make a deal with Hunter.
	No.
	I think Hunter Biden was the the leader, the ringleader of all of this with his father, and his father lied to America when he said that he'd never one time spoke to Hunter about his foreign business dealings.
	I didn't believe it then, and now we know it's not true.
	Anyway, appreciate it.
	800 nine four one Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Ken and Alabama, same topic.
	Ken, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Hey, Sean, uh love you guys, love your show, um, consider you a great American.
	Um and the closest thing to the truth there is out there, really like informational entertainment.
	But that said, sort of to the same uh aspect of the last caller, you know, it goes all the way back to Hillary, but all this stuff associated to Hunter, it's not just a drip, it's a it's just just blatant, flat out, you know, um items that should be addressed or prosecuted.
	And I know um Mayor Garland's not gonna do a thing.
	But almost like the um the fat uh Alvin Bragg kind of deal, where some of these banks and these transactions, you know, either they're general counsel or corporate headquarters of these banks, this is fraud.
	Can't they or somebody in that deal or people too afraid, like a DA or somebody um or attorney generals just too afraid to do anything to bring some level of accountability and you know rule of law.
	Um just is it Well the the b the banks apparently did their job.
	Remember, they were trying to withhold this information from James Comer and his committee.
	Now they've got the suspicious activity reports, and now they've got you know the the routing numbers, and now they found LLCs that they had no idea existed up until this point.
	So it's way bigger, the amount of money also much bigger, much larger uh than we initially thought.
	And I gotta give credit and a shout out to our friend Peter Schweitzer.
	He got this whole this ball rolling.
	When was he first on?
	2018, Secret Empires came out, Linda, I think.
	Yeah.
	Remember?
	If I'm being honest, he was honestly doing lead up to it way before that.
	I mean, he was he broke it on this show.
	He did it.
	Yeah.
	So he was investigating Biden with the Clintons back in the day when he was first writing about the Clintons, too.
	You know, our problem right now is our dual justice system.
	I mean, this now gets to the issue of Merrick Garland and the IRS whistleblower.
	And whether or not Merrick Garland, in fact, lied to Congress.
	That's another big issue that we're going to follow.
	And did they slow walk the investigation at the behest of Garland?
	And are there going to be consequences for it?
	Um it'll be very these are interesting days ahead, I can tell you that.
	You know, Democrats are all jazzed and psyched, and they think that Donald Trump's gonna get arrested again, and uh and in Georgia and the special counsel is gonna arrest him again, and okay.
	Well, you can't arrest a sitting president, but you can't arrest his family, and the minute he's not president, he can be held accountable.
	Uh so be careful for what you wish for sometimes in life.
	Anyway, quick break, right back.
	We'll continue.
	800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, we'll get to more of your calls and comments straight ahead.
	And at the top of the hour, we will check in with Gordon Chang, how big a danger is China.

	Well, let's get back to our busy phones for the great state of Rhode Island.
	Charlie, how are you, Charlie?
	I live there five years.
	Where in Rhode Island are you?
	Um right now I'm in Providence.
	I'm at work at the post office, but I live in Middletown.
	And uh Middletown is sort of half it's closer to Newport, but it's sort of uh halfway between I lived in Warren, Rhode Island, Providence, and uh Newport, but you're much closer to Newport.
	Have you ever been to the Black Pearl?
	Yeah, I bartended at the cookhouse right next door.
	Man, how great is their clam chowder?
	Is that the best in the world?
	Sean, it's a part of a can.
	It snows.
	It's not out of a can.
	They make it.
	I know they make it.
	Yeah, it's out of a can.
	And when I was bartending, people used to come in and brag about the chowder, and I said, Ours is from scratch.
	I can take it to the dumpster because we share the same dumpster.
	No way.
	I don't believe that.
	Yeah.
	I have seen them making it in they make it in these big huge pots, massive pots full of them.
	Yeah, it has to be consistent.
	So that's why they use it out of the can.
	I'm sorry.
	You have you have the secret ingredients.
	Well, then give me the name of the manufacturer and I'll buy a big batch of it for myself, then.
	Snows.
	Snow's clam chowder.
	And a little cooking sherry.
	Really?
	All right.
	Yep.
	I'm I'm I'm calling a check on that.
	I I'm not sure I'm buying that.
	It tastes too good.
	Anyway, what's on your mind?
	Um I'm relatively a new listener.
	Um a friend of mine turned me on to 125, and I especially love your channel.
	It's educational, and it just certain things come to mind.
	It's like the the deficit spending.
	I'm 58, I'm a combat marine, desert storm veteran, and I just don't see things getting any better.
	It's just we're we're going down a bad path.
	And this whole deficit spending, there was a time.
	There was a time when we received a check.
	I think it was I'm pretty sure it was during the Clinton administration, which he basically governed like a moderate Republican, where we had a surplus.
	And by law, they had to keep the money out.
	So everybody got a check for $300.
	It wasn't a stimulus.
	It was your tax dollars because there was a surplus.
	I understand we've had 20 years of conflict.
	I understand we've had COVID.
	But nobody seems to understand that you gotta get back to center.
	You gotta get back.
	Nobody we're not on a we're not on a path of sustainability.
	I no, we're we are a country in decline.
	We're in decline in terms of national security.
	Uh our constitution is being shredded before our eyes in terms of justice and equal justice and equal application of laws.
	Uh foreign policy is an unmitigated disaster, and we are watching China right before our eyes, actively now, uh making their play to be the most dominant superpower on the face of the earth, and they're doing so successfully because America elected a president that doesn't know the day of the week.
	He'll only know that it's the weekend because he'll be in Delaware.
	So he might be able to figure that part out.
	Look, I I it is it has never been this bad.
	It has never been this dangerous from my perspective, and I've been doing this a long time.
	Now, you're right, Newt Gingrich.
	After Bill Clinton got a shellacking, his first midterm was in 94.
	I was there.
	I was the MC the night that New Gingrich became Speaker of the House.
	And Republicans had been out of power for 40 long years.
	And that's when Bill Clinton changed his attitude.
	And he said the era of big government is over, the end of welfare as we know it, and Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton were able to agree on a budget that was balanced, and that is the last time this country ever balanced its budget, and now we're 30 trillion plus in debt.
	We can't even pay off the interest on the debt in a couple of years if they keep spending the way they are.
	Uh there will be no chance for America to come back economically.
	And and China will be successful, unilaterally disarming on the economic front, abandoning energy independence, has been two of the biggest mistakes.
	The new Green Deal, two of the biggest mistakes that Joe Biden has made.
	And we're paying the price.
	And him checked out the way he is, is now opened the window for really hostile regimes to expand their empires and get rich off of our stupidity.
	Very bad moment for the country.
	I got a roll, my friend.
	God bless you.
	I I'm not buying the canned thing.
	I'm just not, I can't.
	It's the best thing I've ever eaten in my life, clam chowder from the black pearl.
