SAVE THE NEWSPAPERS CROSSING THE
LINE OH NO YOU DIDN’T.
>> BUT FIRST GAS PRICE MILESTONE
WERE ALL WORRIED WHAT HAPPENED,
$5 PER GALLON OF REGULAR GAS IN
THE U.S.
AT THIS, THAT IS UP TO DOLLARS
MORE THAN EXACTLY WHAT YEAR AGO.
DO NOT EXPECT PRESIDENT BIDEN TO
TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS
THIS.
>> THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.
TRYING VERY HARD TO MAKE SURE WE
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF BARRELS OF OIL THAT
ARE BEING PUMPED OUT OF THE
RESERVE WE HAVE.
40000 BARRELS AS WELL COMING
FROM OTHER NATIONS.
>> ALREADY.
GUY BENSON I’M GOING TO START
WITH YOU.
BECAUSE ON YOUR SHOW, THE GUIDE
BENCH AND SHOW IT YESTERDAY TALK
ABOUT INFLATION, YOUR TRUCK BUT
GAS PRICES.
BUT BEFORE WE GET STARTED I WANT
TO PUT A FINER POINT ON IT.
THERE IS A SHERIFF IN MICHIGAN
WHO IS NOW INSTRUCTED SOME OF
HIS DEPUTIES TO STOP TAKING SOME
911 CALLS AND GO TO THEM AND
PERSON, HERE’S WHY.
ISABELLA COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE
IS FEELING THE PAIN AT THE PUMP
AS WELL.
WE HAVE EXHAUSTED WHAT FUNDS
WERE BUDGETED FOR FUEL WAS
SEVERAL MONTHS TO GO BEFORE THE
BUDGET RESET.
LET’S BE CLEAR WE ARE NOT
TALKING ABOUT LIFE-SAVING
MEASURES THAT ARE NEEDED AND
THAT SORT OF THING FOR THESE ARE
THINGS THAT CAN BE HANDLED OVER
THE PHONE.
BUT GAIA, IT REALLY SAYS SO MUCH
DOESN’T IT?
>> IT DOES IT IS SHOCKING.
EVEN IF THESE ARE NOT IMMEDIATE
EMERGENCIES YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT
A RESPONSE IS GOING TO TURN INTO
AN EMERGENCY.
BY THE WAY ALICIA THANK YOU FOR
THE PLUG ON THE RADIO SHOW MUCH
OBLIGED BRAVER AND TALK ABOUT
THE INFLATION ISSUE BECAUSE IT
IS THE NUMBER ONE ISSUE TO
AMERICANS BUT EVERY SINGLE
PERSON FEELS EXCEPT MAYBE THE
HYPER RICH.
WE ARE ALL FEELING IT.
IT IS SHOCKING IT SEEMS LIKE
THERE’S NO END IN SIGHT THIS WAS
HOW THE CPI NUMBER WORSE THAN
EXPECTED YESTERDAY 8.6% INCREASE
YEAR-OVER-YEAR.
AND THE THING THAT STRIKES ME
ABOUT THE SOUNDBITE FROM THE
PRESIDENT HE LOOKS AND SOUNDS
LOST.
WE ARE SAVVY PEOPLE THIS IS NOT
ALL HIS FAULT BUT HE DID NOT
HAVE FULL CONTROL OVER ANY OF
THIS THAT’S TRUE OF ANY
PRESIDENT BUT TO HEAR THIS
APPROACH IN LINE OVER AND OVER
AGAIN PUTIN’S GAS INCREASES.
PUTIN BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE?
PUTIN’S CRIME WAVE?
PUTIN’S BORDER CRISIS?
THE CASTING OF A BLAME ON ANYONE
AND EVERYONE DOES GET I THINK
TIRESOME AND IT IS INSULTING.
NO ONE REALLY BELIEVES THAT I
GUESS IS THE SILVER LINING HERE.
LOOK AT THE POLLING AVERAGES HE
IS ON A LOW ART APPROVAL.
PEOPLE ULTIMATELY UNDERSTAND HE
IS NOT TOTALLY AT FAULT BUT
RECOGNIZE HE BEARS A LOT OF
CULPABILITY.
>> AND LARA, GUY BROUGHT UP A
NUMBER THE CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
IT IS UP 8.6 YEAR-OVER-YEAR.
AS HE MENTIONS WHICH IS A
TERRIBLE AND TWO GUYS POINT
HERE, OKAY FINE.
MAYBE EVERYTHING IS NOT YOUR
FAULT ACCORDING TO THE
PRESIDENT’S ADMINISTRATION BUT
FOLKS ARE STILL THE SAME
SITUATION REGARDLESS OF WHOSE
FAULT IT IS.
AT THIS POINT A LOT OF PEOPLE
OUT THERE, I KNOW A LOT OF
VOTERS DO THEY WANT TO KNOW WHAT
ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?
HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO LAST?
AND HOW LONG WILL WE BE IN THIS
KIND OF PAIN?
>> THEY ARE GETTING ZERO ANSWERS
THAT NO ONE IS EVEN ADDRESSING.
IF YOU CANNOT ADMIT THE PROBLEM
ITSELF YOU CANNOT ADMIT YOU ARE
AT FAULT FOR SOME OF THAT EVENT
PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO TRUST
YOU TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
NO ONE HAS TALKED ABOUT HOW TO
GET US OUT OF THIS FOR THE
REALITY IS WE KNOW WHEN IT COMES
TO GAS PRICES SOME OF THIS JUST
LIKE THE OPEN SOUTHERN BORDER IS
INTENTIONAL FROM THIS
ADMINISTRATION FROM THE
DEMOCRATS.
THEY WANT ALL OF US TO CHANGE
EVERYTHING WE WANT TO DO PARADE
THEY WANT US TO CHANGE THE WAY
WE OPERATE.
PART OF THAT IS CHANGING TO
ELECTRIC CARS APPEAR THEY WANT
TO GET AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS
AND THEY DO NOT CARE THAT THIS
IS UNSUSTAINABLE FOR PEOPLE.
THEY DON’T CARE THAT WE’VE HIT
THE 5-DOLLAR NATIONAL AVERAGE
FOR GAS PRICES PEOPLE CANNOT DO
THE SAME THINGS THEY USED TO DO.
THEY ARE NOT GOING OUT TO DINNER
AS MUCH BREAD THEY ARE NOT GOING
OUT MAYBE TO A MOVIE SPENDING
THEIR DISCRETIONARY MONEY
BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE ANY
DISCRETIONARY MONEY.
AND THE PROBLEM IS THAT HAS A
CASCADING EFFECT ON AN ECONOMY
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE WORRIED
ARE WE HEADED TOWARD A
RECESSION?
THIS IS A GOOD WAY TO STAY ON
TRACK TO A RECESSION WHEN YOU
CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH WHEN NO
ONE IS WILLING TO TAKE BLAME FOR
ANYTHING WHEN THERE ARE NO
SOLUTIONS AT LEAST FROM THIS
ADMINISTRATION AND THIS
PRESIDENT ON THE HORIZON.
>> AND JIMMY SO MUCH FOR SUMMER
BREAK RIGHT?
YOU’VE GOT PEOPLE SITTING AT
HOME EVEN IF THEY TRY TO LEAVE
THEIR HOUSE IT IS SO EXPENSIVE
BUT LET’S PUT SOME NUMBERS HERE.
ACCORDING TO MOODY ANALYTIC
FAMILIES ARE NOW SPENDING AN
EXTRA $460 A MONTH FROM
INFLATION UP TO WHAT HAD 7% FOR
FUEL 49% FOR GASPER 38% FOR AIR
YOU’VE GOT GROCERIES,
ELECTRICITY, NEW CARS AND TRUCKS
TRUCKS.
THERE IS NO RELIEF ANYWHERE,
JIMMY.
>> IT IS INSANE.
SCOTT IS ALWAYS TRYING TO FIND
THE SILVER LINING IN ANYTHING
I’VE SAID THE ONE UPSIDE TO THE
BIDEN PRESIDENCY ARSON IS DOWN
83% BECAUSE NO ONE CAN BURN YOUR
HOUSE DOWN IT $5.15 A GALLON.
IF SUMMIT LIGHTS OR LAWN ON FIRE
YOU’VE EARNED IT AT THESE PRICES
IS ALL OF GOT TO SAY.
THE FRUSTRATION EVERYBODY HAS
WITH BIDEN AS HE IS PUTTING SO
MUCH EFFORT INTO PASSING THE
BUCK THEN HE ISN’T SOLVING THE
PROBLEM.
WHEN HE YELLS AND SCREAMS ABOUT
PUTIN, PUTIN DID NOT DECLARE WAR
ON THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY ON
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
JOE BIDEN DID.
WHEN HE TELLS US UKRAINE IS THE
ROOT OF ALL ECONOMIC EVIL MAY BE
I DON’T KNOW THAT THE CASE TO
TRY TO END OF THE WAR IN UKRAINE
AS OPPOSED TO SENDING OVER
40 BILLION MORE DOLLARS TO
SUBSIDIZE IT AND PROLONG IT?
I THINK THAT IS EVERYBODY’S
ISSUE WITH BIDEN AT THIS POINT.
FORGET WERE REPUBLICANS LOOK FOR
IS PULLING WITH INDEPENDENCE.
SHOWING REAL-TIME INDIFFERENCE
TO SUFFERING IN THIS COUNTRY.
HE ACTUALLY DEMONSTRATES EMPATHY
AS OPPOSED TO PUSHING THAT LONG
TERM AGENDA IS POINT ON ELECTRIC
CARS THUS NOT A REAL-TIME
SOLUTION.
FIRST OF ALL THE CARS ARE NOT
THERE.
THE INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT THERE.
AND MORE AS THE COST
EFFECTIVENESS.
WE DON’T HAVE FIVE BUCKS FOR
GALLON OF GAS AND ON 50000 BUCKS
PER GALLON IN JAN FOR ELECTRIC
CAR THAT’S LIKE ME SING APART
AND GET A DATE JUST ASK OUT
BEYONCÉ.
THAT IS NOT A REAL SOLUTION YOU
KNOW WHAT I’M SAYING?
[LAUGHTER]
>> LAR JUMP I KNEW YOU’D HAVE MY
BACK THANK YOU.
>> IT’S WORTH A TRY.
[LAUGHTER]
LACKS DISINFORMATION MARY
POPPINS SONG ON THAT.
REX GUY I LIKE THIS SO MANY OF
THESE ISSUES THROUGH THE LENS OF
THE NEXT ELECTION.
WE DID HEAR THE PRESIDENT ADMIT
INFLATION IS GOING TO LAST A LOT
LONGER WE DO KNOW TO LARS POINT
ANALYSTS ARE LIKE WE ARE IN A
RECESSION OR WE ARE RIGHT THERE
ON THE BORDER.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS AS WERE
HEADING INTO NOVEMBER ON THIS?
>> IT IS UGLY FOR THE DEMOCRATS
A RULING PARTY CONTROL
EVERYTHING THAT THE OTHER THING WITH BIDEN HE ALSO TRIES TO LASH
WITH BIDEN HE ALSO TRIES TO LASH
OUT ABOUT THE ULTRA MEGA HOLE
PARTY DOMINATES WASHINGTON D.C.
AND SO VOTERS AND NOTICED THAT.
THEY RECOGNIZE WHAT IS HAPPENING
AROUND THEM FOR THEIR DEEPLY
UNIMPRESSED.
LARS TALKING ABOUT SOLUTIONS THE
BIGGEST ISSUE I THINK THAT
REPUBLICANS OUGHT TO BE TALKING
ABOUT WHEN WE POINT OUT OR
CONSERVATIVES NOTE DEMOCRATS
DON’T SEEM TO HAVE THE
SOLUTIONS, THEY HAVE ALREADY
EXACERBATED THE PROBLEM SO MUCH
WITH THAT RECKLESS WASTEFUL
SPENDING FOR 2 TRILLION
ADDITIONAL DOLLARS AT THE VERY
BEGINNING OF THIS
ADMINISTRATION.
DON’T FORGET IF THEY HAD THEIR
WAY IF ONE OR TWO SENATORS HAD
NOT STOOD UP AND STOOD IN THEIR
WAY THEY WOULD HAVE SPENT
5 TRILLION MORE DOLLARS ON TOP
OF ALL OF THIS THERE SOLUTIONS
ARE THE OPPOSITE OF SOMETHING
THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE.
WE’LL BE IN MUCH WORSE SHAPE IF
JOE BIDEN’S GOTTEN HIS ENTIRE
AGENDA THROUGH.
THANK GOD HE FAILED ON SOME OF
THESE THINGS.
TO ADD TO THAT REALLY QUICK I
WANTED TO SAY I SPENT A LONG
TIME DRIVING A TAXI IN NEW YORK
CITY.
A LOT OF THE GUYS I KNOW IT
FACED WITH THIS FUEL SITUATION
ARE NOT EVEN DRIVING THEIR CABS
BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSING MONEY
LIKE A 2-DOLLAR A GALLON GAS
INCREASE ALONE IN A 20-GALLON
GAS OF TANK YOU’RE TALKING $40 A
DAY AND THE JOB I DON’T IF YOU
GUYS KNOW THIS WHEN YOU’RE
DRIVING A CAB YOU ARE NOT
EXACTLY HUNTING LOBSTERS OFF THE
BALCONY YOU’RE SO WEALTHY YOU
DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH ALL
THE PROSPERITY.
BEST THING KILLING EVERYBODY AND
HE JUST DOES NOT CARE.
HE JUST WANTS SOMEBODY ELSE TO
BLAME.
BLAME DOES NOT FILL UP A GAS
