0:23

All right. Let it's get it simple man. That means

0:26

only one thing on this radio program,

0:28

all things self proclaimed simple

0:30

man. And that's all things Bill O'Reilly,

0:32

all things O'Reilly Bill, O'Reilly dot com.

0:34

Mister O'Reilly, sir, how

0:36

are you a little frantic? You

0:38

just got back from getting ashes

0:41

and the priest was a little windy.

0:44

You know, I was giving the signal of rapid in the back.

0:46

You know, pretty big crowd though,

0:48

to get the ashes staying. All

0:51

right, So I want to ask you something. I

0:54

think you and I recognize that this world

0:56

is full of evil. I don't think we disagree.

1:00

You're a historian. We could talk about Nazi

1:02

Germany. We could talk about Mao and China,

1:05

and we could talk about Stalin and Russia,

1:07

and we can talk about the killing fields in Cambodia.

1:10

We could talk about ISIS beheadings

1:12

and radical Islamis like on nine

1:14

to eleven. So evil does exist.

1:17

You and I agree with that. What

1:19

Vladimir Putin is doing in Ukraine

1:22

targeting civilian targets

1:24

and apartment complexes and homes

1:26

and infrastructure, to me

1:29

is modern evil into

1:32

scriminate bombing of innocent men, women and

1:34

children. Here's

1:36

the question, though, Bill, is

1:39

we the United States have

1:42

now once again, as per usual,

1:44

we are bearing the brunt of

1:46

the financial burden over a

1:48

hundred and what twenty

1:51

billion dollars committed

1:54

to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Europe,

1:56

this is in their own backyard, only

1:59

have put up thirty billion dollars.

2:01

And what really bothers me is

2:04

that Joe Biden personally as

2:06

vetoed on a number of occasions

2:10

Western European countries providing

2:13

fighter jets to the Ukrainians,

2:15

like the Pole, like Poland wanted to

2:17

provide twenty eight thirty five migus

2:20

and Biden said no. That tells

2:22

me Biden's not committed to

2:24

allowing Zalinski to win the

2:26

war. And if he's not committed to winning

2:28

the war, I don't think we should

2:31

be assisting them. We're wasting

2:33

our time and money. Otherwise, am I wrong?

2:36

I don't know if the word wrong applies

2:38

here. I see it a little bit differently.

2:41

So the European

2:43

socialist governments don't have any

2:45

money. Germany is an exception.

2:47

They do, but it's Germany,

2:50

and they're selfish, and they look inward,

2:52

not outward, and they're not going to pony

2:55

up unless they absolutely

2:57

have to. So once again, as

2:59

you pointed out out rightly, the United States

3:01

is to carry the burden to fight

3:04

toutlitarian evil, as we have been

3:06

doing now for

3:09

almost ninety years in this world.

3:12

And I don't believe it's ever going to

3:14

change. So that's that now.

3:16

On the fighter jets, I would not if

3:19

I were president of the United States give

3:21

the Ukrainians fighter jets for one

3:24

very strong reason. Well,

3:26

by the way, it wasn't the United States it was going to

3:28

give it. But they

3:31

do what we tell them to do, you know that. So

3:34

if the Ukrainian pilots decide

3:37

to go and bomb inside Russia,

3:41

cities inside Russia, it turns

3:43

the tide to the Russian people against

3:47

the United States Ukraine and

3:50

supports Putin. Putin becomes stronger

3:52

immediately because the Russian

3:54

people now are seeing the Ukrainians

3:57

kill them, and right now the Russian

4:00

people are not. You know, it's really

4:02

dicey over there as far as popular

4:05

opinion about this war is concerned. The second

4:07

reason is it gives Putin a chance

4:09

to expand the war himself. And

4:12

he said, oh, now look at their attacking

4:14

the homeland. And this is just what Hitler

4:16

did when he invaded

4:18

Pole in nineteen thirty eight, exactly

4:20

the same scenario. Who wants

4:24

the United States and NATO to

4:26

give the Ukrainians planes

4:28

so the plane's bomb Russian

4:31

territory? He wants that, so

4:33

I wouldn't give it to him. The

4:36

bottom line, then, Bill, is I don't believe

4:38

that Zelensky as as as

4:41

much valor as the people of Ukraine

4:43

have shown as much courage as they have shown

4:46

an ability to fight for their country.

4:48

That is inspiring. Putting aside

4:51

the fact that we know some of the Moneys were diverted

4:53

and taken by people

4:57

with high positions and Zolensky's

5:00

us in a circle. Putting that aside,

5:03

they have shown courage and

5:06

valor on the battlefield, and they did

5:08

the impossible. They have now extended

5:10

this conflict out for an entire

5:12

year, and yet they've been

5:14

at a decided disadvantage

5:17

when it comes to the weaponry of war

5:19

because Putin does not have the same restrictions

5:22

as Zelenski does. Well,

5:24

the tanks that we are providing them,

5:26

Germany and the United States should really

5:29

shore up their defense. I

5:31

don't expect Russia to be able to

5:33

take more than twenty five percent

5:35

of that country is twenty Now you

5:38

might be able to carve out another five percent,

5:40

but Russian casualties now are

5:42

a thousand a day and

5:45

the army that he has in there now

5:47

is untrained and it's

5:49

going to be a catastrophe. So yes,

5:52

if I were the president and

5:54

I saw Putin marching to Kiev,

5:56

that would change the equation absolutely,

5:59

which range. But

6:01

right now, the stalemate, and that's

6:04

what it is, is working

6:06

against Russia,

6:08

and we need Putin out of there

6:10

because he is an evil, meglomaniac.

6:14

But remember, but

6:16

to get there, don't you have to fight the

6:18

war to win the war? I got I got

6:20

hit in the piece on Media eight saying,

6:22

well, Hannity, who supported the war

6:25

in Afghanistan and the war in

6:27

Rack which I did support,

6:29

But it was a very different time, Bill,

6:32

and we've learned a lot from those conflicts.

6:34

We did not fight those wars to win

6:36

the war. Now, Donald Trump

6:38

showed us another way to fight a war, and that's

6:40

when he defeated the Caliphate. And

6:43

it was unmerciful, never

6:45

ending, unceasing bombing of

6:48

the Caliphate, and he beat them

6:50

back and defeated them and

6:52

I'm not willing to go through long protracted

6:54

wars and send kids door to door.

6:57

First of all, our military technology is

6:59

way more sophisticated them. When

7:02

after nine to eleven we went into a rack and Afghanistan,

7:05

we have the ability to push buttons

7:07

in any state and with pinpoint

7:09

accuracy take out targets all

7:12

over the globe. That's how we should

7:14

be fighting any war we are involved

7:16

in in my view. Yeah, but you

7:19

know I wrote all about that in Killing the Killers

7:21

and how unbelievable our weaponry

7:24

is. But Putin's got the same kind of weaponry.

7:27

So you don't want

7:29

to get this madman. And I

7:31

say that literally because there's no reason

7:34

on earth for him to do this and

7:38

put to suffering and hundreds of

7:40

thousands of deaths. I mean, he got

7:42

to be a madman. Um, So

7:45

I would I would basically tell the

7:47

Ukrainians we're gonna We're gonna support

7:49

you as best we can. And that's

7:51

the keyword, as best we can. I mean, we can't be

7:53

thrown three four trillion dollars

7:56

into that place, just can't. He's

7:58

got to come a point. But at

8:00

the same time, the Ukrainians are going

8:02

to have to fight on the ground for

8:04

every engine of their soil, which I think they

8:06

will, you know, I think that will

8:09

continue. And now we have she

8:11

getting into it, the Chinese guy. We

8:14

don't want this to escalate

8:16

to a world war where

8:19

tens of millions of people die.

8:21

It could get out of control very easily. Got

8:24

to be methodical and discipline and

8:26

forward looking. Now do I have any

8:28

confidence that the Biden administration

8:30

is methodical and disciplined and forward

8:33

looking. No, and that

8:35

disturbs me. I mean, they can't even handle

8:38

the train wreck in Ohio. So we're

8:40

going to just continue to pour hundreds

8:42

of billions of dollars and at

8:45

best, the best we can hope

8:47

for is a tie. The best

8:49

we can hope for is a long

8:53

protracted conflict that maybe one

8:55

side eventually gives up and we

8:57

keep providing the munitions and the

8:59

money's necessary. Is there ever

9:01

a point where we say you're on your own?

9:04

I don't. I don't see

9:06

that point happening. I

9:08

just I don't see it. I don't think Trump would

9:10

do that if he's reelected. I

9:12

don't think Trump would say you're on your own Ukraine.

9:15

I don't believe he would. But

9:17

you have to be disciplined in the

9:19

way you help Ukraine once.

9:24

If Putin were to succeed there, that would

9:26

be a catastrophe and I

9:28

think lead to World War three. But

9:30

I don't think he's going to succeed. I think

9:32

there's something going to happen to Putin. So

9:35

you're buying time, that's

9:37

what you're doing now with our law. No, my

9:39

hope has been that they take him out

9:41

sooner than later, and that means he's in a

9:43

circle, you bet, um.

9:46

And look, it's all about China

9:48

now. If China helps Russia,

9:50

oh my god. If China starts

9:52

to send weapons to Russia,

9:55

I don't even know. But I don't think China

9:58

is going to do that because and we'd

10:00

have to slap sanctions on China

10:02

and the whole world gets

10:05

disrupted in the economy.

10:07

Oh my god, Bill, the Chinese

10:10

are showing nothing but hostility and

10:12

aggression towards the United States.

10:14

But they pulled back at the last No,

10:16

they didn't. Where did they pull back, Bill? In

10:19

Taiwan. I mean, the provocations

10:21

in Taiwan over the last three months

10:24

have been a lot less and

10:26

I'm hoping to get to them. They just sent

10:28

their Navy last week through the straits

10:30

of Taiwan. Well,

10:33

I mean they're sailing around, but they're

10:35

not basically sailing

10:37

around in Taiwan waters. They're

10:39

flying their fighter jets above

10:41

their airspace almost daily.

10:44

Yeah, but they've always done that. I

10:46

mean what they haven't done has been Bella coasts

10:48

and say, look, you got to this date

10:50

or whatever, and we're moving our

10:52

carriers out there in a Japanese are

10:54

finally wising up, and you

10:57

know their military is expanding

11:01

rapidly. But all of this is

11:03

bad. I mean, we want to get to

11:05

a point where we kind

11:07

of settle this stuff down, because

11:09

a world conflict is

11:12

going to be something that no human

11:14

being can even imagine. Oh, I agree

11:16

with that part. I don't want a world conflict,

11:19

nor do I think the American

11:21

taxpayers. If Ukraine

11:24

does not have the munitions needed

11:27

to win the war, we have

11:29

to ask what is our endgame

11:31

here? What is our goal in all of this? You'll

11:34

have to ask it now. I think

11:36

you have to ask NATO to step

11:38

up with more arms

11:41

and money, humanitarian money. I think

11:43

you have to do that. But

11:46

I think that you can buy a little bit

11:48

more time because battlefield

11:50

reversals. This new

11:53

conscript army, they're gonna get They're

11:55

gonna get grinded up by these

11:57

Ukrainians. You wait and see. All right,

11:59

quick break more simple man, Bill O'Reilly.

12:01

As we continue eight hundred and nine four one sewn

12:03

our number. If you want to be a part of the program, we'll get to

12:05

your calls. Coming up Hannity tonight, nine eastern

12:08

on the Fox News Channel. As we continue

12:15

brand news break news breaks, you'll

12:17

hear the inside story that no one

12:20

else has, behind the scenes,

12:22

chatter that the mainstream media doesn't

12:25

even know about. This is

12:27

the Sean show I've

12:35

won with Bill O'Reilly, simpleman, All things O'Reilly

12:38

at Bill O'Reilly dot com. You see

12:40

also the military munitions, the

12:42

fighter jets, the missiles.

12:45

You know, Putin is now tripling

12:48

in, quadrupling down on getting

12:50

more aggressive with Ukraine, and I don't

12:52

know if they're going to be able to withstand that onslaught

12:55

so far. To the credit of the Ukrainian

12:57

people and Zolinsky, they

13:00

have fought valiantly, but without

13:02

the US help they are dead

13:04

in the water. But I don't think we're going to withdraw

13:08

US help. And if Trump is reelected.

13:11

It'll be very interesting to see if

13:13

he could get through to Putin, because

13:16

remember four years Putin

13:18

was annoying on the internet. He was hacking,

13:21

but he didn't do anything other than that.

13:24

Probably the negotiated settlement

13:26

would include the Russians

13:29

keep the don Boss region, they keep

13:32

obviously Crimea, and maybe

13:35

even annex Belarus, which

13:37

I could see happening as well. Well. The guy in

13:39

Belarus just committed suicide after

13:41

meeting with Putin, and I'd probably do

13:43

the same thing I had him hit the

13:46

Putin. Yeah,

13:48

I mean, look, Belarus,

13:51

nobody in the world is going to stick up

13:53

for them, so they're probably gone. The

13:56

Donbass region will be yes, Russian

13:58

will keep it, but they'll have an election.

14:01

They'll always throw that on in

14:03

the election, of course, will be phony crime Ye,

14:06

nobody's ever getting that back. That's

14:08

gone. The America's

14:11

role in the world, and this is all

14:13

the result by the way

14:15

of a in my view

14:18

of a week president, and we'll

14:21

find out in two years of America wise is

14:23

up because I don't think the these

14:25

hostile regimes would be acting the way they're

14:27

acting if we had a strong US

14:29

president. I

14:32

am this next year Everything's

14:35

going to be different. You just keep

14:37

this tape this time next

14:39

year, the world is going to be completely

14:41

different. But I can't predict

14:43

how. Driving me crazy because I'm

14:45

usually pretty good at it. But

14:48

things are changing. Asked and build.

14:50

Some people would say, the ship's sailed. You've been crazy

14:53

for a long time. Thank you. I don't

14:55

want to be panick. They're listening to us today.

14:58

Look, don't panic. It's

15:00

not panicking. I'm just watching the

15:02

destruction of innis and men, women and children,

15:05

and I see that the rest of the world

15:07

has taken a back seat. And the United

15:09

States, as usual, you know,

15:12

is paying for a conflict, but they're not. They've

15:14

involved themselves in another conflict

15:16

that they have no intention of winning. That's

15:19

the part that frustrates me. All

15:22

things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly at bill O'Reilly

15:24

dot com. Sarah, thank you, all right, twenty five now

15:26

to the top of the hour. We'll get to your calls here in a minute.

15:28

We'll update you also on this jury

15:31

four person in Fultland County,

15:33

Georgia, on this

15:35

press tour, which is beyond

15:38

bizarre and cringe worthy

15:40

and likely will result in

15:44

jeopardizing any of the quote indictments

15:46

that she's so looking forward to appears

15:50

she has a political agenda based on her

15:52

comments. This is not going to go

15:54

over well with any judge in my view,

15:56

that is worth their salt. Look,

15:58

if you're in the market, by the way, for new firearm,

16:00

you're gonna love my friends at Henry Repeating

16:03

Arms. And if you're looking for something

16:05

very light and easy that you can transport,

16:08

they got you covered with a US survival

16:11

rifle. Now you can take it apart, put

16:13

it back together in mere seconds when you need

16:15

to. The parts fit right into

16:17

its stock. It's easy to stow in your car,

16:20

your truck. It's very compact, so

16:22

you can carry it everywhere. Only three

16:24

and a half pounds sixteen inches when

16:26

disassembled, and it comes in

16:29

black and three types of camo.

16:31

It's very affordable. You can pick one

16:33

up between two hundred and fifteen four hundred bucks

16:35

and it is a great firearm. You're gonna

16:37

love it. And like every Henry,

16:39

it's made in the USA, and it's back by their

16:41

lifetime satisfactions you can guarantee. You

16:44

17:10

to what I think is a pretty unbelievable

17:13

development as it relates to this super grand

17:15

jury in Fulton County

17:18

and the jury four person has

17:20

been on this never ending press

17:22

tour. From what we can see,

17:25

I guess she's been on what NBC, ABC,

17:28

She's talked to the New York Times, She's talked

17:30

to Fake News CNN. You've been been all

17:32

over the place. And then when you

17:34

listen to the jury four person, this

17:36

is that special grand jury that was set up by

17:38

the DA in Fulton County, Georgia.

17:43

It there's no way I see any

17:45

judge not throwing this out.

17:47

Whatever their findings were, this

17:50

goes against all rules and

17:52

regulations in terms of jury

17:55

guidance, the grand jury guidance. It's

17:58

supposed to be private and secure. Why

18:01

she's decided to go on this tour I don't

18:03

know. Her name is Emily Cores,

18:06

and here's her saying that she'd be

18:09

very sad if the district

18:11

Attorney to decides against bringing any charges.

18:13

Listen, after everything that you've seen, what

18:15

would your reaction be if the DA decides against

18:18

bringing any charges after what you've seen,

18:21

I will be sad if nothing happens.

18:24

Like that's about my only request there is

18:26

for something to happen. I

18:28

don't necessarily know what it is. I'm not the legal

18:31

expert, I'm not the judge, I'm not the lawyers,

18:33

but I will be frustrated

18:35

if nothing happens. This was

18:37

too much, too much information,

18:40

too much of my time, too much of everyone's

18:42

time, too much of their time, too

18:45

much argument in in court

18:47

about getting people to appear before us. There

18:49

was just too much for this to just

18:51

be oh, okay, we're good

18:53

bye. And if it was just a perjury

18:56

charge or perjury charges, would

18:58

that be acceptable too. That's fine. I

19:00

will be happy as long as something happens.

19:07

It is bizarre. Her behavior is

19:10

how do you say this in a nice way? It is? It

19:12

is craze. They see, there's only one

19:14

rule when you have nothing nice to say,

19:16

you say nothing, So we can't talk about

19:19

it for too long because it's a talk show and we would be very

19:21

quiet. Okay, it doesn't want to go to any

19:23

sensitivity training or not. Okay.

19:26

Then she goes out there and says,

19:28

how all she's like giddy

19:30

with excitement at the idea

19:33

of swearing in President

19:35

Trump as a witness. Did you personally

19:38

want to hear from the former I wanted to hear from

19:40

the former president, but honestly, I kind

19:43

of wanted disappoina the former president because I got

19:45

to swear everybody in, and so I thought

19:47

it'd be really cool to get sixty seconds with President

19:49

Trump of me looking at him

19:51

and being like, do you solemnly swear I'm me getting

19:53

to swear him in. I just I kind of just

19:56

thought that would be an awesome moment. Now,

19:58

grand jurors are supposed to

20:00

be fair and balanced

20:02

and objective, and you

20:05

know, not not bring into that

20:08

grand jury room, especially the

20:10

fourth person, or it was a great influence over the entire

20:13

grand jury, any prejudice

20:15

of any kind. You decide

20:18

if you think she has a bias. Here's

20:20

a montage of Emily course is

20:22

it would you say when it comes to there are

20:24

and there are indictments recommended?

20:27

Of course, is it more than twelve

20:30

people? Is it more than twenty people? I

20:32

think if you look at the page numbers of the report,

20:34

there's about six pages

20:37

in the middle that got cut out allow

20:39

for spacing. It's not

20:41

a short list. Not a short list more.

20:44

I mean it's

20:48

not I assume a seventy five

20:50

people. Would you characterize it as twenty

20:53

ish people? I can't say I counted,

20:56

okay, more than a dozen, though I think i'd heard

20:58

you say in another interview. I

21:00

believe so it's probably a good

21:02

assumption. I really don't want to share

21:04

something that the judgemente a conscious decision not to share.

21:07

I will tell you that it was a

21:10

process where we heard his name a

21:13

lot. We

21:15

definitely heard a lot about former President

21:17

Trump, and we definitely discussed

21:21

him a lot in the room. And

21:24

I will say that when this

21:26

list comes out, you wouldn't They're

21:28

no major plot twists waiting for you. But

21:31

in your view, people will not

21:33

be surprised when they see the list of names

21:35

to come out who you recommended to face indictment,

21:38

especially if they've been following the investigation

21:41

so you have somebody that

21:43

is the fourth person of a grand jury

21:47

that sounds like

21:49

a giggling, excited,

21:52

happy grand

21:55

jury that can't wait for

21:58

indictments. Now, does

22:00

that now taint the jury

22:02

pool? The answer is clearly

22:05

obviously yes. And

22:08

a judge, any judge, there

22:11

needs to be an emotion to quash this

22:13

and and stop this and end this

22:15

right here and right now,

22:18

just based on the law. Anyway,

22:20

let's get to our busy phones. Say, let's

22:23

say hi to Mitch's in Denver. Mitchell

22:25

on the Sean Hannity Show. Glad you called. Hey,

22:28

glad to be talking with you. I love the show man. Hey,

22:30

I just had a question about that East

22:33

Palestine derailing. There

22:36

was three other or two other

22:38

trains derail in Ohio that same

22:40

week. Where's

22:42

the money from that trillion dollar infrastructure

22:45

bill going? I mean, you know,

22:47

I feel like no one's really talked about

22:50

this, but this is something that could have been

22:52

avoided. I mean, you know, we have infrastructure

22:55

issues. I mean the space it stuff

22:57

does wear out over time. Ohio's

22:59

you know, had railroads quite some

23:02

time. So no, why why

23:04

wasn't this addressed before this became a

23:06

problem. Look, I think I

23:08

think you're raised in a terrific point, a

23:10

very intelligent point, an obvious point.

23:13

And you know, and the fact that they've shown

23:15

so little concern, and you know, Mayor

23:18

Pete Buddha Judge was out there, you

23:20

know, yesterday making his comments which

23:22

which should shock the conscience, as

23:25

he was out there saying, well, least Palestine

23:27

has gotten plenty of attention. They're over

23:29

a thousand cases a year. Why

23:31

of trains derailing? Why aren't you doing

23:33

anything about it? That's the point, and

23:36

him saying, well, I was mayor of my

23:38

hometown for eight years. We dealt with a

23:40

lot of disasters. We went back

23:42

and look, he didn't deal with any kind

23:44

of disaster that in any way mirrors

23:47

what happened in East Palestine. The

23:49

NTSB needs to be able to

23:51

do its work independently. But when

23:53

I go, the focus is going to be on action. Look,

23:55

I was mayor of my hometown for eight years. We

23:58

dealt with a lot of disasters, its natural

24:00

and human. And then

24:02

of course it raises the question, you know, why

24:05

didn't they declare a national emergency

24:08

for the area immediately. Now

24:10

finally help us coming hold is gonna make

24:13

a trip, But it's

24:15

a day late and a dollar short, and

24:18

it's only done for pr purposes, the very

24:20

thing he's claiming Trump is doing. I

24:23

don't know why they're allowing this to happen,

24:26

but I'll tell you. If they're having all these trained derailments,

24:29

there needs to be an investigation. Somebody's

24:31

gonna get killed. We have dead

24:33

fish, and we have dead animals, and we have sick

24:36

people in East Palestine and

24:38

surrounding areas that

24:40

ought to be an urgent enough

24:43

matter that would warrant the

24:45

type of assessment and follow

24:48

up in terms of cleanup that

24:50

you would expect from the United States, but they've

24:52

shown no inclination at all

24:54

to do that. Anyway, Good

24:57

call, Mitch, appreciate it. All right, quick break, We'll

24:59

come right back. Eight hundred nine one sewn

25:01

our number. Right back to the phones as we

25:03

continue. Mike in Texas, Mike, how are

25:05

you glad you called? Sir Sean?

25:08

How's it going? I'm good? How are you? Huge

25:10

fan? If I'm not watching you live, I'm watching you on Fox

25:13

Nation. Thank you. I

25:16

wanted to just share with you. I am the owner of

25:18

one of Houston's premier farmer markets

25:21

named the Brayswood Farmer's

25:23

Market in one of Houston's

25:26

best known communities of Myerland

25:29

Westbury bel Air. Very

25:31

well known market considered one of the best of the

25:33

best with the Houston Chronicle newspaper. Yeah, my

25:36

niece lives in and around

25:38

that area. If she hasn't been there, I'll

25:40

tell her about it. By the way, I love farmers

25:42

markets. I think they're awesome. How's

25:44

business going? You know

25:46

what with the past administration,

25:49

business was fantastic, booming.

25:52

Everyone was a winner. Prices

25:55

were controlled, prices were

25:57

affordable, everyone was coming

25:59

out with the kids having a great time. Well,

26:02

you know, I started the market after Hurricane

26:06

Harvey. I came with an idea and

26:08

I said, how do we get the community together while

26:11

providing a platform for small businesses

26:13

to make a living. You

26:15

know, I'm very proud to say that over

26:18

a hundred families can say

26:20

that they make a real living on

26:22

our market location and hours. And

26:25

to be honest, another thing

26:27

that I've done is sign off on a couple of people's

26:29

mortgages as a secondary sign

26:32

just to help them out as well. You

26:35

know, We've got great support

26:38

from the vendors and from the community and

26:40

works both ways, and I wear two hats.

26:43

One is to provide the community

26:46

with a reputable market and

26:48

also to provide the vendors, like I said, with

26:50

a platform to make a living. And

26:53

you know, farmer markets have exponentially grown throughout

26:55

the years and on any typical Saturday we

26:57

could have thousands of shoppers out there. We've

27:00

gone all the way from empowering refugee

27:03

farms to develop sustainable farming. We've

27:06

offered central shopping and a gathering place

27:08

for the community, and of course the small

27:10

farmers we've supported them into

27:13

making the living. We have a little bit of an

27:15

issue. Farmers have

27:17

to drive it about anywhere from seventy

27:19

to one hundred miles sometimes to get to our market.

27:22

Well, what kind of refugees are you talking about

27:25

from Congo that have been saved

27:28

and with a partnership with farm

27:31

by the name of Planted Forward, they

27:34

provide the farms and land

27:36

for them to be able to grow their products

27:38

and bring it to markets across Houston to make a

27:40

living and sell their products. So

27:43

the bottom line is, I'm just guessing, like the rest

27:45

of the Biden economy, you're now

27:47

suffering in large part.

27:50

You know, Adam schiff

27:52

rolls downhill. And when farmers

27:54

can't afford the fertilizer because it's three

27:56

times the usual cost, and seed

27:59

is double to triple the cost, and

28:02

spare parts for their equipment are hard to find.

28:04

It. When you do find it, you're paying a premium for that

28:06

as well. The

28:09

farmers I know of are either not

28:11

making it or struggling to just you

28:13

know, keep their head above water. Everybody

28:16

seems to be gulping and nobody

28:19

is really profiting the way they should.

28:22

Is that about right? Absolutely

28:24

correct? Anywhere from pasture raised

28:26

eggs, poultry, grass fed and wagoo

28:28

beef, and all the way down to gulf from

28:31

the Gulf of Mexico seafood

28:33

as well, we're having struggles

28:36

being able to sell products

28:39

at a price point that is accepted

28:41

by the community. Well, but I

28:44

mean the farmers have no choice. You

28:46

have no choice unless you want

28:48

to just start selling things at a loss.

28:51

I mean, if if farmers have to pay

28:53

triple the amount of money for fertilizer, double

28:56

the triple the money for seeds, and

28:59

then pay you know, at an

29:01

astronomical fee

29:04

over and above what they're used to paying,

29:07

I think, by every measure, that,

29:10

you know, it becomes impossible, and then

29:13

it becomes impossible for consumers.

29:15

Two thirds of Americans live in paycheck to paycheck

29:18

to be able to afford the produce that they were

29:20

once able to afford with ease. Absolutely

29:24

right, And of course we're

29:27

you're seeing inflation rates

29:30

at a level that's been at its

29:32

highest point in decades. You know, what is

29:34

farmland doing going to do with the rates

29:38

from the banks as well, It gets to

29:40

a point where enough is enough,

29:42

we need changes. I don't

29:44

disagree. I can really sympathize with the position

29:47

you're in and many farmers are

29:49

in, and I

29:51

don't know what to tell you. I don't have a good

29:53

answer for you. There's nothing that

29:55

I can do or say that's going to lower the price

29:58

of you know, in fertilizer

30:01

and heavy equipment and spare

30:04

parts. There's nothing that I can really do. Agree

30:08

that we need to change in twenty four it

30:11

will help, but that'll even to fix

30:13

this mess we're in, you know. Lawrence

30:15

Summers said it yesterday. Despite the Federal

30:17

reserves best efforts, inflation remains

30:20

high. That puts the US economy

30:22

on a quote collision or a crash

30:24

course. He served

30:27

in both the Clinton and Obama administrations.

30:29

He said the Fed's been trying to put the brakes

30:31

on. It doesn't look like the brakes are getting much

30:33

traction. And he said when the brakes don't

30:35

get traction, two things happen. You

30:37

can keep moving too fast, that's

30:40

the inflation pressure, or you

30:42

can be setting yourself up for a collision or

30:44

a crash down the road. Both

30:46

of those things I think are the real

30:48

risks in this environment. I

30:51

wish I didn't agree with Lawrence Summers.

30:53

He's been right on everything, including

30:56

Biden inflation, and he's been way

30:58

ahead of the curve. So I think,

31:00

you know, as many economists have predicted,

31:03

this year is going to be the worst so

31:05

far, and it's not. It's

31:07

gonna get worse before it gets better. So

31:09

I don't have an answer for

31:11

people. You know, it's it's

31:14

heartbreaking. My best

31:16

advice for people is, you

31:19

know, just fine ways that you make

31:21

enough money to make ends meet right

31:23

now. It's about survival, it's

31:25

not about the profit anyway. Appreciate

31:28

the call eight hundred nine for one shawn on number

31:30

if you want to be a part of the program. I don't

31:32

know if you know this, but the best shooters

31:34

in the world do a majority of their training

31:36

doing dry fire practice at home.

31:39

Now the firearm training system

31:41

called mantis X. It's a no amo,

31:44

all electronic way to practice and improve

31:46

your shooting accuracy. You simply attach

31:48

it to your own firearm and you

31:50

can use it at home on the range and

31:53

it works. It's like having your own personal firearms

31:56

instructor next to you. You get real time feedback

31:58

on your technique, a guide you through drills

32:01

and courses. Ninety four percent of shooters

32:03

can improve within twenty minutes of using

32:06

mantis X. It's used by the Marine

32:08

Corps, the Army Special Forces. In

32:10

other words, military grade technology, all

32:12

at an affordable price, and it'll

32:15

improve your shooting dramatically. And here's the

32:17

best part. You're gonna have fun doing it. Military

32:20

grade technology, affordable price,

32:22

and it's fun. And you just

32:24

have to get yours at mantis x dot

32:26

com. That's their website, m antisx

32:30

dot com. You're gonna love this

32:32

system.
