THANKSGIVING.
BACK TO YOU.
SEAN: EDWARD LAWRENCE, THANK
YOU.
BRING IN RICK PERRY FORMER
ENERGY SECRETARY, FORMER TEXAS
GOVERNOR.
RICK, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I WANT TO GET YOUR TAKE ON THIS.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS SAYING THEY
HAVE DONE NOTHING TO IMPEDE
AMERICAN OIL AND GAS DRILLING.
THE OPPORTUNITIES STILL EXIST.
YOU WERE IN THAT OFFICE.
IS THAT YOUR TAKE AS WELL?
>> I’M ALWAYS SURPRISED THAT
SOMEONE WORKING FOR THAT
ADMINISTRATION CAN SAY THAT AND
NOT HAVE A SMIRK ON THEIR FACE.
THAT IS A TALENT BUT IT IS ONE
OF THE FEW TALENTS THAT THEY
HAVE.
EVERYONE, WHETHER YOU’RE A
PRO-FOSSIL FUEL INDIVIDUAL OR
WHETHER YOU’RE ON THE LEFT KNOW
THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS WAY
IN OVER THEIR HEAD.
THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT THEY’RE
DOING WHEN IT COMES TO NATIONAL
SECURITY.
BECAUSE THAT IS THE FIRST AND
MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE WE HAVE
HERE.
BECAUSE OF THEIR PRAYING AT THE
ALTAR OF ENVIRONMENTALISTS THEY
HAVE THROTTLED THE OIL AND GAS
INDUSTRY TO THE POINT IN THIS
COUNTRY WHERE OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY IS AT RISK AND YOU’RE
NOW PUTTING IT IN THE HANDS OF A
DICTATOR IN VENEZUELA.
I MEAN THE ONLY PLACE THAT YOU
COULD GO TO PUT YOU IN GREATER
DANGER WOULD BE IN RUSSIA AND,
WE SAW THEM DO THAT WITH RUSSIA
BY ALLOWING THE NORD STREAM 2
PIPELINE TO GO FORWARD.
FROM A NATIONAL SECURITY
STANDPOINT, DON’T TALK ABOUT
ANYTHING ELSE, PRICE, INFLATION,
NOT ANY OF THAT, JUST NATIONAL
SECURITY THIS ADMINISTRATION HAS
DONE MORE TO HURT THE AMERICAN
PREPAREDNESS TO PROTECT AMERICA
THAN ANY ADMINISTRATION IN
CURRENT HISTORY, GOING ALL THE
WAY BACK TO AT LEAST JIMMY
CARTER AND I WILL SUGGEST TO
YOU, EVEN WORSE THAN JIMMY
CARTER.
SEAN: YOU KNOW YOU WOULD THINK
SECURING THE HOMELAND, NATIONAL
DEFENSE WOULD BE PRIORITY NUMBER
ONE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION BUT
IT SEEMS THEY PRAY AT THE ALTAR
OF CLIMATE ALARMISTS WE HAVE
CLEAN ENERGY HERE IN AMERICA BUT
TO THINK THAT TO GO TO VENEZUELA
WITH TAR INTENSIVE, SULFUR
INTENSIVE FUEL, IT DOES NOT GIVE
AMERICAN JOBS AND PROPS UP A
COMMUNIST REGIME.
DOES THIS MAKE SENSE TO YOU?
>> NOT A BIT.
YOU LAY IT OUT PERFECTLY.
HERE IS WHAT WE NEED TO KEEP IN
MIND.
AMERICA REDUCED EMISSIONS MORE
THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD DURING THE LAST DECADE AND
IT IS BECAUSE OF THE TRANSITION
FROM OLDER, INEFFICIENT POWER
PLANTS TO CLEANER BURNING
NATURAL GAS.
IF WE COULD BE SELLING THAT
AMERICAN NATURAL GAS INTO EUROPE
WE WOULD BE REMOVING OLD COAL
PLANTS.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN EUROPE
NOW BECAUSE OF THE
ADMINISTRATION THIS
ADMINISTRATION’S POLICIES?
THEY’RE TRANSITIONING BACK TO
OLD COAL PLANTS, AMERICAN LNG,
STAYING IN THE GROUND.
AMERICAN JOBS LOST.
THIS GOES ON AND ON WITH ITS,
INEPTNESS FROM THE STANDPOINT OF
NATIONAL SECURITY AND ECONOMIC
SECURITY FOR AMERICA.
SEAN: YOU KNOW, LISTEN, THE
ADMINISTRATION MIGHT SAY YOU
KNOW WHAT?
WE WANT TO KEEP THE LIBERAL
PROGRESSIVES HAPPY.
JOE BIDEN MAYBE WANTS TO WIN A
PRIMARY TWO YEARS FROM NOW.
HE WANTS TO SHUT DOWN AMERICAN
OIL AND GAS.
OKAY, I DISAGREE WITH THAT BUT I
JUST HEARD A STORY FROM
"THE WALL STREET JOURNAL,"
GUYANA OFF THE SOUTHEAST COAST
OF VENEZUELA, NORTH OF BRAZIL,
FOUND MASSIVE RESERVES IN OIL,
LOW IN SULFUR.
IT IS CLEAR.
NOW U.S., WE DON’T SEE THAT MANY
ALLIES IN SOUTH AMERICA ANY
LONGER BECAUSE OF THE U.S. BUT
THEY’RE ONE OF OUR ALLIES, THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING
TO PUSH BACK NOT LETTING THEM
DRILL IN GUYANA ALL THE WHILE
GOING TO COMMUNISTS IN VENEZUELA
TO LET THEM DRILL THERE.
THAT WILL MAKE THE CHINESE TO
COME IN WITH CHINESE JOBS AND
CHINESE SECURITY AS OPPOSED TO
AMERICAN JOBS AND AMERICAN
SECURITY.
>> I MEAN THIS JUST MAKES NO
SENSE IN A HOST OF DIFFERENT
AREAS AND THIS ADMINISTRATION
SEEMS TO BE TOTALLY UNABLE TO
SAY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
WE MADE A MISTAKE.
YOU, IF YOU HEARD JOE BIDEN OR
ANYONE ON HIS ADMINISTRATION
SAID HEY LOOK, WE MADE A MISTAKE
SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE, PLEASE
BRING THAT TO MY ATTENTION.
I MUST HAVE MISSED IT, BUT THIS
IS DESTROYING THE AMERICAN
ABILITY TO DEFEND THIS COUNTRY
BECAUSE OF THE NATURAL, EXCUSE
ME BECAUSE OF THE NATIONAL
SECURITY ASPECT OF THESE
RESOURCES AND, WHEN YOU TALK
ABOUT WESTERN HEMISPHERIC
SECURITY, WHEN YOU’RE PUTTING
THAT INTO THE HANDS OF
COMMUNISTS, WHEN YOU’RE NOT
ALLOWING PRO-AMERICAN INTERESTS
TO BE ABLE TO DRILL AND EXPLORE
FOR THOSE RESOURCES, IT JUST
DOESN’T MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL
FROM A, YOU KNOW, FROM AN
AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE.
I MEAN, HE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND
AMERICA FIRST, THAT’S FOR SURE.
SEAN: NO.
>> WE’VE SEEN THAT MULTIPLE
TIMES.
SEAN: WE LAUGH AT THAT BUT IT IS
NOT FUNNY IT WOULD BE GREAT TO
HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO BELIEVED IN
AMERICA FIRST.
>> INDEED.
SEAN: I WANT TO SWITCH GEARS ON
YOU BECAUSE THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION RECENTLY AGREED
TO PAY CLIMATE REPARATION TO
POORER COUNTRIES.
WITH THE REPARATIONS, RICK,
THERE WILL BE STRINGS TIED TO
THE REPARATIONS WHERE THEY CAN’T
USE OIL AND NATURAL GAS.
THE ABUNDANT FOSSIL FUELS GETS
PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY INTO THE
MIDDLE CLASS.
IN A WAY IS THE ADMINISTRATION
LOCKING THE POOR COUNTRIES INTO
POVERTY?
>> STUNNINGLY OUT OF TOUCH WITH
REALITY WHAT I CONSIDER THIS
REPARATION ISSUE TO BE.
NUMBER ONE, CHINA WHICH IS
SPEWING MORE EMISSIONS INTO THE
AIR WITH THEIR COAL PLANTS EVERY
DAY AND BUILDING ON THEM,
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO
PARTICIPATE.
AS A MATTER OF FACT I’M SURE
THEY WILL STAND AT THE FRONT OF
THE LINE, HEY, SEND THAT
AMERICAN MONEY OVER HERE.
WE’LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO HAVE
IT.
THIS JUST DOESN’T MAKE ANY
SENSE.
I WANT TO SPEAK ABOUT ONE OTHER
THING.
THOSE ANTI-FOSSIL FUEL
ENVIRONMENTAL RADICALS WHO SAY,
SORRY, IF YOU’RE A THIRD WORLD
COUNTRY IN AFRICA YOU’RE JUST
NOT GOING TO HAVE ACCESS TO ANY
OF THOSE ELECTRONS LIKE WE HAVE.
YOU WILL NOT JUST GET ANY
ELECTRICITY.
YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO
HAVE A INCUBATOR OR A SONOGRAM,
YOU WILL NOT JUST GOING TO HAVE
IT.
YOU WILL HAVE TO BURN WOOD OR
BURN COW DUNG TO KEEP YOURSELF
WARM OR SEE AT NIGHT.
THAT IS WHAT THEY’RE SAYING TO
THESE INDIVIDUALS.
HOW BLACK DOES YOUR HEART HAVE
TO BE LOOK AT THE AFRICAN
CONTINENT, BILLIONS OF PEOPLE
OVER THERE, SORRY YOU WILL NOT
GET ANY FOSSIL FUEL.
IT WASN’T GOING TO HAPPEN.
YOU’RE JUST GOING TO DIE.
THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE WHEN IT
COMES TO MY, THE HUMAN HEART
THAT I THOUGHT AMERICANS WERE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE.
SEAN: WHICH AGAIN WE WANT TO
LIFT PEOPLE UP, BRING THEM INTO
THE MIDDLE CLASS.
THESE POLICIES WILL JUST DRIVE
THEM FURTHER INTO POVERTY.
WHAT FRUSTRATES ME, WHEN YOU SEE
THE LIKES OF BARACK OBAMA AND
OTHERS, THEY BUY BEACHFRONT
PROPERTY, THAT ARE RIGHT ON THE
OCEAN.
SO THEY MUST NOT THINK THE SEAS
WILL RISE OR BIG STORMS WILL
COME OUT TO WIPE OUT THEIR
HOMES.
THE LIKES OF JOHN KERRY FLY
AROUND ON PRIVATE JETS.
THEY LIVE A-STYLE HIGH IN
ENERGY, 8,000, 10,000, 20,000
SQUARE FOOT HOMES, THEY WANT
AFRICA WHO IS POOR TO SIT IN
POVERTY TO NOT HAVE ENERGY.
WHAT HYPOCRITES.
>> IT IS COLD-HEARTEDNESS.
THAT IS WHAT IT IS.
IT IS BEYOND ME IF PEOPLE REALLY
CARE ABOUT HUMANS, FOSSIL FUELS
IS HOW YOU BRING THEM OUT OF
THAT POVERTY, HOW YOU BRING THEM
TO A FLOURISHING LIFESTYLE.
YOU EITHER STAND UP TO SAY, WE
DON’T CARE ABOUT YOU, WE’VE GOT
OURS BUT WE’LL NOT LET YOU HAVE
IT.
SEAN: ONE LAST QUESTION.
>> I DON’T THINK THAT WORKS.
SEAN: ONE LAST QUESTION FOR YOU,
I THINK THE ONLY WAY THE
ADMINISTRATION WOULD CHANGE
COURSE FROM THE RADICAL POLICIES
IF VOTERS CAME OUT IN THE
MIDTERM ELECTIONS, YOU KNOW
WHAT?
WE’LL REJECT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
WE’LL REJECT, 4-DOLLAR, 4.50 A
GALLON GAS AT THE PUMP AND
HEATING OIL WE CAN’T AFFORD.
WE’LL REJECT THAT, BRING IN
ANOTHER PARTY THAT WILL ACTUALLY
SUPPORT OUR LIFE-STYLES BUT THE
VOTER DIDN’T DO THAT.
THE VOTERS SAID WE’LL GIVE
REPUBLICAN AS SLIGHT MAJORITY IN
THE HOUSE.
NO MAJORITY IN THE SENATE AND SO
I THINK THE MESSAGE FROM THE
BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AND
DEMOCRATS IS, AMERICA LOVES
THESE POLICIES.
AMERICA IS JUST AS GREEN AND
RADICAL AS WE ARE, AM I WRONG?
>> WELL I THINK THEY’RE WRONG.
SEAN: I AGREE.
>> THE KEY IS REPUBLICANS WILL
CONTROL THE HOUSE, THEY ARE.
KEVIN McCARTHY WILL BE THE
SPEAKER.
IF WE GO OUT AND DO OUR WORK IN
GEORGIA, HERSCHEL WALKER WILL
COME IN, IT WILL BE A 50-50
SENATE.
WHICH MAKES JOE MANCHIN ON
ENERGY ISSUES A VERY, VERY
IMPORTANT PERSON.
SEAN: RIGHT.
>> FROM THE STANDPOINT OF DOING
A VICTORY DANCE, SPIKING THE
BALL IN THE END ZONE, IF I WERE
JOE BIDEN I WOULD KEEP MY POWDER
DRY HERE UNTIL WE GET DOWN THE
ROAD HERE A LITTLE BIT FURTHER
BECAUSE I THINK YOU’RE GOING TO
SEE A HOUSE AND A SENATE
TOGETHER THAT UNDERSTANDS HOW
IMPORTANT FOSSIL FUELS ARE FOR
AMERICA, FOR THE FUTURE,
PARTICULARLY ON THE NATIONAL
DEFENSE SIDE AND WINNING THAT
SEAT IN GEORGIA IS REALLY
IMPORTANT.
SO YOU KNOW, FOLKS IN GEORGIA,
GET IT RIGHT DOWN THERE.
LET’S SEND HERSCHEL WALKER TO
SENATE.
SEAN: RICK PERRY, I HOPE YOU’RE
RIGHT, THAT AMERICA UNDERSTANDS
AND JOE BIDEN GETS THE MESSAGE
AND WE CHANGE COURSE SOON.
YOU’RE ALWAYS SMART ESPECIALLY
ON THESE ISSUES.
