ALWAYS HAS BEEN, ALWAYS WILL BE.
AND THAT IS MY RIFF.
ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE ARE SO
BLESSED HERE.
WE HAVE JOINING US ON STAGE
SANDRA SMITH, COANCHOR OF
"AMERICA REPORTS" ON FOX NEWS.
>> THANKS FOR HAVING ME, LARRY,
SANDRA, AS ALWAYS YOU BRIGHTEN
EVERYTHING UP.
>> AH, THANKS.
LARRY: I WAS GOING TO TALK TO
YOU ABOUT THESE EXPENSIVE
TURKEYS.
>> WHICH WE WILL STILL.
LARRY: WE’LL GET TO IN A LITTLE
BIT BUT THE MOST EXPENSIVE
TURKEY OF ALL COULD BE JOHN
KERRY’S CLIMATE REPARATIONS
SCHEME.
>> I DON’T SEPARATE THE TWO
THOUGH.
YOU GET THESE APOCALYPTIC
CONCERNS FROM THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION ABOUT CLIMATE
CHANGE AND US PAYING OUR FAIR
SHARE AS A COUNTRY.
THERE IS NO BOTHER TO TELL CHINA
TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR BUSINESS,
RIGHT?
WE’RE GOING TO TAKE THIS ALL ON.
WHERE IS THE APOCALYPTIC
CONCERNS ABOUT PEOPLE NOT BEING
ABLE TO HEAT THEIR HOMES THIS
WINTER?
YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOOK TOO FAR.
WE DUG THROUGH A CNN PIECE,
PERSON OF A PERSON LIVING OFF OF
FIXED INCOME.
THEY’RE LIVING IN THEIR
RETIREMENT.
THEY’RE CHOOSING BETWEEN FOOD
AND FUEL.
YET THIS IS WHERE OUR CONCERNS,
THIS IS WHERE OUR DIRE WARNINGS
ARE AND THIS IS WHERE WE’RE
FOCUSING OUR ATTENTION?
PEOPLE ARE PAYING 20% MORE TO
HEAT THEIR HOMES THIS WINTER,
TOE UP FROM LAST YEAR.
IF YOU DON’T THINK IS A BIG JUMP
THAT IS ON TOP OF WHAT THEY WERE
PAYING LAST YEAR.
AS I SEE ALL THIS
"THE WALL STREET JOURNAL"
ADMINISTRATION OUT ON USING
PRIORITIES ON THE WRONG THINGS,
POOR COUNTRIES SOUGHT FOR
WEALTHY COUNTRIES PAY FOR THE
LOSS OF DAMAGE THEY SUFFER FROM
NATURAL DISASTERS, SUPPOSEDLY
CLIMATE RELATED THIS IS A
SEPARATE FROM THE $100 BILLION A
YEAR THAT RICH COUNTRIES HAVE
PROMISED TO HELP POOR COUNTRIES
REDUCE EMISSIONS AND ADAPT TO
CLIMATE CHANGE.
TO YOUR POINT.
THEY DON’T WANT TO.
THEY WANT CHEAP ENERGY.
THEY WANT CHEAP FUEL.
WE’RE BASICALLY TELLING THEM
THEY WILL GET OTHERWISE.
LARRY: ACTUALLY I THINK IT IS
THE CRAZY RICH COUNTRIES WHO
BELIEVE IN JOHN KERRY’S CLIMATE
CHANGE RADICALISM WHO ARE
PUSHING THE MONEY TO THE POOR
COUNTRIES, NOT TO BUY FOSSIL
FUELS.
IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS THE SAME
IDEA, NO FOSSIL FUELS.
PUT AN X THROUGH IT.
INSTEAD, PROBABLY WANT TO GIVE
THEM RENEWABLES TAX CREDITS OR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THEY DON’T WANT THAT THEY JUST
WANT ENERGY OF ANY KIND BECAUSE
THEY ARE POOR COUNTRIES.
BY THE WAY, WE NEVER PUT THE
$100 BILLION IN GOING BACK TO
2015.
AND BY THE WAY, NO MATTER WHAT
THE NUMBER IS THIS TIME, THERE
IS A NEW CONGRESS.
THEY WON’T PUT THE MONEY IN
EITHER.
FINALLY, BY THE WAY, WHY CAN’T
WE JUST OPEN THE SPIGOTS TO MORE
OIL AND GAS?
>> GOES BACK TO THAT, RIGHT?
LARRY: PERMITTING REFINING,
SERIOUSLY AS YOU SAID WE HAVE
SHORTAGES IN KEY FUEL ITEMS.
IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE TO DRIVE TO
YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER EVEN
THOUGH GASOLINE IS DOWN A WEE
BIT.
IN OTHER WORDS, IS THAT THE
POINT?
HOW ARE THEY HELPING ANYBODY
WITH THIS REDISTRIBUTION.
>> BY THE WAY LOOK AT DROP WE’VE
SEEN IN OIL PRICES.
FIRST OF ALL ACKNOWLEDGE IT.
THAT IS GREAT.
PRICES HAVE COME DOWN.
WE’RE LOOKING AT $75 A BARREL.
TOUGH ASK YOURSELF WHY, WHY IS
THAT HAPPENING?
I UNDERSTAND YOU WERE TALKING TO
TRADERS, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO
CAN’T PAY THOSE GAS PRICES.
PRICES HAVE GOTTEN SO HIGH,
INTEREST RATES HAVE GONE SO HIGH
TO PAY FOR THIS INFLATION CRISIS
THAT IS THE ADMINISTRATION’S OWN
MAKING WITH THIS MASSIVE
GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND THE
ENTIRE GOAL WAS TO CRIPPLE
DEMAND.
SO YOU’VE GOT THAT STARTING TO
HAPPEN NOW.
WHILE WE WOULD LIKE TO CELEBRATE
THAT, IT IS, CAN BE SEEN AS A
SIGN WHERE PEOPLE ARE CURBING
DEMAND.
LARRY: ALSO DEPLETED OUR
STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVES
WHICH COMPROMISED OUR NATIONAL
SECURITY AS WELL AS OUR ENERGY.
>> PUT US IN A REALLY TOUGH
POSITION TO DO ANYTHING IN REAL
TIME OF EMERGENCY AND CRISIS.
LARRY: WHY SHOULD WE APPLY THE
GAME GOOFY SOCIALIST
REDISTRIBUTIONISM THEY’RE
PUSHING AT HOME UNSUCCESSFULLY
TO THEORIES OF THE WORLD?
WHY ARE WE LEADING IN THE WRONG
DIRECTION.
>> THAT IS THE QUESTION.
LARRY: WHY ARE WE LEADING CHINA,
THIS MODEL WORLD SYSTEM, MODEL
WORLD CLIMATE CHANGE LEADER IS
PUTTING UP 200 SOME ODD NEW COAL
PLANTS IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS, 60%
OF THEIR ENERGY FROM COAL.
WHY DOES ANYONE CALL THEM OUT
FOR THAT?
>> YOU’RE MAKING TOO MUCH SENSE
THAT IS THE POINT
"THE WALL STREET JOURNAL" SAID.
LARRY: JOHN KERRY NEVER SAYS
THAT.
>> YOU KNOW WHAT JOHN KERRY SAID
THIS MONTH, HE WAS AGAINST IT,
IT WAS A WELL-KNOWN FACT THAT
THE U.S. AND MANY OTHER
COUNTRIES WILL NOT ESTABLISH
SOME SORT OF LEGAL STRUCTURE
TIED TO COMPENSATION OR
LIABILITY.
THAT’S JUST NOT HAPPENING.
HIS MIND OBVIOUSLY CHANGED ON
THURSDAY WHEN THIS MEETING TOOK
PLACE.
THAT IS WHERE HE WAS EARLIER
THIS MONTH.
JOHN KERRY, CHINA, 2/3 MORE CO2
THAN EUROPE AND U.S. COMBINED.
ACCOUNTS FOR 60% OF YOUR POINT
OF CHINA’S POWER GENERATION.
MORE NEW COAL PLANTS SET FOR
APPROVAL IN 2025 THAN THE ENTIRE
EXISTING U.S. FLEET BUT THEY’RE
NOT --
LARRY: WE MIGHT END UP PAYING
THEM REPARATION.
>> EXACTLY.
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.
LARRY: COVID BAILOUT A LOT OF
MONEY WENT TO CHINA.
A LOT OF UNEMPLOYMENT
COMPENSATION WENT TO CHINA.
KEEP HELPING CHINA OR NOT.
THAT IS OUR MAIN INTENT.
SERIOUSLY, LAST POINT HERE, IS
THAT SILLIEST THING YOU EVER
HEARD.
>> EXACTLY.
LARRY: COUPLE MORE POINTS.
THEY WANT TO TURN THE WORLD BANK
INTO A CLIMATE BANK.
THEY WANT TO TURN ALL THE
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANKS
FUNDED BY TAXPAYER MONEY INTO
CLIMATE BANKS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
>> THEY’RE TALKING ABOUT TAXING
FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRIES MORE.
WHO WILL PAY FOR THAT?
THE AMERICAN WORKER, THE
AMERICAN CONSUMER BECAUSE THAT
IS WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
I DO TIE IT ALL BACK TO THE
INITIAL STORY YOU WERE HAVING ME
ON, THESE THANKSGIVING PRICES UP
20%, WHATEVER IT IS.
I THINK MOST PEOPLE WRITTEN ME
TODAY, SEEING PRICES UP A WHOLE
LOT MORE THAN THAT FOR THEIR
THANKSGIVING MEAL.
THE AMERICAN CONSUMER IS ON THE
HOOK FOR ALL OF THIS.
AT THE END OF THE DAY WE’RE
PAYING FOR IT IN THE FORM OF
FUEL, FORM OF HEATING OUR HOMES,
WHETHER IT IS YOUR TURKEY PRICES
GOING UP.
THESE PRICES ARE ASTRONOMICAL.
I’M LOOKING WHAT HAPPENED IN THE
NORTHEAST, LARRY.
SOME ENERGY COMPANIES TALK TO
CUSTOMERS WHO MIGHT FACE
FORECLOSURE BECAUSE THEY CAN’T
AFFORD TO HEAT THEIR HOMES.
THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO PAY THEIR
MORTGAGES.
IT IS PUTTING PEOPLE INTO
INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS POSITIONS.
LARRY: GAS PRICES HAVE COME
DOWN.
WORLD PRICES HAVE COME DOWN.
BUT HOME HEATING FUEL PRICES,
DIESEL PRICES THEY’RE ALL VERY
HIGH.
>> WE’RE NOT EVEN AT
THANKSGIVING YET.
LARRY: BESIDES, I DON’T KNOW IF
IT IS JOHN KERRY’S TURKEY OR
NOT, TURKEY THIS YEAR IS
SUPPOSED TO BE $1.79 A POUND.
I MENTIONED TO YOU BILL HEMMER
EARLIER.
>> IT IS CRAZY.
LARRY: LAST YEAR $1.39 A POUND.
UP 28%.
ANOTHER TURKEY FOR JOHN KERRY’S
CLIMATE CHANGE TURKEY T MAY BE
CHEAPER, I THINK IT IS CHEAPER
TO EAT OUT THAN EAT AT HOME.
THAT IS NOT GOOD.
>> THAT IS A FACT.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT EARLIER.
THAT IS A FACT.
LARRY: FAMILIES SHOULD EAT AT
HOME.
IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE.
GROCERY COSTS AT HOME ARE HIGHER
THAN RESTAURANT COSTS EATING
OUT.
I’M NOT OPPOSED TO RESTAURANTS.
>> I HATE TO BE DOOM AND GLOOM
ON THANKS GIVING WEEK.
YOU ALWAYS BRING THINGS BACK TO
A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
CAVALRY IS COMING YOU WILL TELL
US.
LARRY: AT LEAST A PLATOON.
>> NO, BUT I THINK IT IS A
SERIOUS POINT.
PEOPLE NEED TO BE HOPEFUL.
THEY SEE THESE PRICES HAPPENING.
THE INDUSTRY GETS IT.
BUSINESSES GET IT.
YOU HAVE NEW CONTROL IN THE
HOUSE.
ENERGY GROUPS ARE LAYING OUT
PLANS TO TACKLE THE CRISIS.
LARRY: RIGHT.
>> THAT IS A BIG DEAL.
REPUBLICANS WERE NOT EXACTLY
ARTICULATE IN THEIR MESSAGES HOW
THEY WOULD BRING PRICES DOWN.
THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO IT.
WOULDN’T SAY HOW A LOT OF THEM
THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT.
LARRY: YOU KNOW WHAT MY PLAN IS?
TURN ON THE SPIGOTS.
>> TURN ON THE SPIGOTS.
LARRY: GET IN YOUR CAR, WHATEVER
THE COST, HELP FOLKS ON
THANKSGIVING AND OR CHRISTMAS
SERVE UP MEALS AT THE SOUP
KITCHENS.
>> AMEN TO THAT.
LARRY: WE’RE ALL GOING TO DO
THAT.
WE DO IT.
CONTINUE TO DO IT WHETHER WE
HAVE HIGH INFLATION OR NOT.

BEST.
