Talk station in a very happy Fridayeve to you, Welcome back to the
fifty five KRC Morning Show from Americansfor Prosperity, Ohio Chapter of an O'Neill
donovan. Welcome back. It's alwaysgood to heavy on the program. Brian,
happy to be here, and let'sstart with Well, we have gas
prices as well as the strategic StrategicPetroleum Oil Reserve. I want to focus

(01:11):
on this second component of this,Joe Biden said, I mean, he
said it out loud. Last timehe opened up the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve
was to lower gas prices. We'vegot this oil reserve, which is for
strategic purposes to be used in thecase of a war or you know,
problems outbreak whatever. We've got thisthis large, you know, quantity of
oil that we then wouldn't have torely on exterior sources to get unlike say,

(01:38):
you know, the the chips weget from Taiwan where everybody else gets
them. Got a problem on ourhands of trying to invade that butt.
He opened up the Strategic Petroleum ownersfor the Reserve for the purposes of lowering
gas prices in advance of an election. I guess I just really fundamental question
for me is how is it howdoes the president have that authority? Does
he have? I mean he clearlyhad it because he did it. There

(02:00):
was no opposition to it. EvenI didn't see anyone say whoa, whoa,
I'm crying foul here. The Congressdidn't authorize this. You are using
something for strategic purposes, purely forpolitical gain. Well, I mean,
and that's what it is. Youknow what people have seen. I was
reading a report from ABC News thismorning that talks about the impact that this

(02:22):
has on politics. What they foundwas that each ten cent increase in the
gas price was associated with more thanhalf a percentage point decline in presidential approval.
We're dealing with gas prices that area buck thirty higher than they were
when Joe Biden took office still rightnow on average here in Ohio. You

(02:43):
know, when you put that intothose numbers, that's about a six percent
hit to the president's approval rating.That's a difference maker in a country that
split fairly evenly down the line betweenRepublicans and Democrats. And that's why he's
pumping this These spi the streatety patrollingresert into the economy. But here's the
reality. They put six million barrelsin last summer. They there was a

(03:05):
report that came out. I thinkI was on your show talking about it
back in April, where the federalgovernment campled its plans to refill that draining
of the reserve because it couldn't affordhit cash prices under by deenomics we're too
high, or even the federal governmentto buy gas and rebuilds reserves. And
now they've announced another million that willhave a very insignificant impact on the immediate

(03:28):
gas price crunch. But more moreconcerning is the longer term outlook is we
continue to We've drained forty three percentof our federal strategic petroleum reserve. If
our country goes into a crisis wecontinue and we continue this trend, we're
going to be in a bad situationwhen real big problems arise on the global

(03:49):
stage well, and going back toChina and their aspirations to take over Taiwan,
that would be a real challenge forus on a multiple levels. Let's
pause from because we're going to havemore to talk about them idonomics with Donovan

imagine, or maybe you've been consideringa fireplace insert. I'm happy I got
mine because I need in mind forsafety reasons and think about safety. Perfect
time of year to have your chimneysystem inspected. Whether you have a free
standing stove obviously it's got a chimneyon, a gas pellet, wood waste
pellets, stove, whatever, haveit inspected. It couldn't eat a sweep
and they have certified chimney sweeps.Maybe a water damage problem. You might

(04:33):
not even be aware if they doa video camera inspection of that to find
out if everything's square and going right, check the flow, make sure you
don't have any carbon monoxide issues.It's all about safety. But then again,
this time of year, maybe goahead and pull the trigger on getting
that free standing stove or the woodwaste pellet stove even have an insert that
is self feeding wood waste pellet aswell. Huge heat output from those things

be cleaned and your drying time willbe reduced. Plus you won't have a
fire hazard anymore. From that,that'll save you money and give you peace

(06:25):
and Nel Americans for Prosperity on theprogram here to talk about well by noomics
generally speaking, and on the specificlevel gas prices which are insane. You
know, I was looking at thisarticle Donovan about beef prices, and they
had over at Epoch Times talking abouthow, you know, the high beef
prices, how much it is.It's really expensive. My listeners all know
that we all go to the grocerystore. But this farmer they were talking

(06:46):
to specifically attributed to what he calleda withering assault from regulators and government authorities
who are you know, impacting howthey do business. It made it more
it's almost impossible, particularly for smallfarmers to even stay in business. That's
by design. And going back tothe gas prices, and I always reference

(07:06):
to Barack Obama's common gas prices willnecessarily increase in the name of protecting the
planet and saving us from our exhalation. So it seems crazy to me.
And it's so obvious that it's apolitical ploy. When the gas prices go
up, as you point out,it harms elected officials and it makes them
less likely that we are going tovote for them because they've hurt us.

(07:29):
Their policies have created these high gasprices, and lo and behold, when
the reality hits and gas prices havenecessarily increased because of their manipulation with the
economy and market forces, they releasethe strategy patrollity more reserved to make them
go down again artificially. This isbatcrap insanity, Donovan. I never have
a question here, but it's moreof an observation. Well, that's the

(07:54):
frustration you're experiencing. Is the frustrationwe hear from, you know, the
hundreds and thousands of folks that wetalk to American prosperity across the country every
day. But you know, ongrander scale, the millions of Americans who
are fed up with these policies.This is Bidenomics in a nutshell, right,
the top down, government mandated controlthat's in pursuit of pushing a particular

(08:20):
public policy prescription and agenda. Andit's all about this pursuit of what they're
calling green energy. I saw anotherquote from one of the President's spokespersons in
regards to the gas prices and overallcost of living that's gone up during the
Biden administration. They said, we'reactually really happy with what we've been able

(08:41):
to accomplish the American people. Andthen it's clean energy is actually helping lower
costs for Americans. It's this thisgas lighting approach that this administration is taking
to say, in one hand,Americans have never had a greater quality of
life, but then on the otherhand, to say we're going to also
prohibit you from doing things, We'regoing to rally chat of existence. It's
madness. It's maddening, and weneed to we really need as Americans right

(09:05):
to start stepping up and make sureour voice is heard. When that time
comes to push back against these policiesand get our get our country back on
track and ultimately, as we liketo stay around here, reignite the American
dream for for everyone. Yeah,and I know you're on the ground level
doing ground level work, door knockingand uh and having conversations with real Americans

(09:26):
about real problems and convincing them thatthere is a better way. And it's
certainly not going down the Democrat path, which is in fact fascism. I
just regularly point that out. Imean, they scream out loud about you
being a fascist, fascist, fascistwhen it's their policies which are demonstrably fascist.
So well, yeah, I meanthe you know, the the rather

(09:48):
than, rather than really push solutionsthat are going to help people and get
government out of the way, they'repushing policies. You know, as we
see, Americans are paying twenty sixpercent more for chicken, twenty three percent
more for cheese, thirty percent morefor ground beef, Egg prices have doubled,
Milk is up over ten percent.You know, the list goes on.

(10:09):
Ohiolans in it, in short,are paying every ten thousand more annually
just to survive. And that's notjust numbers that we had Americans for prosperity
have made up or somebody else.This is from federal government data agencies that
have to put this data out,that report on the economic state of our
country in the states within it.And that's the reality of Joe Biden's policies.

(10:33):
And it's not just one guy.I'll say this too, it's not
just one person. We're a wehave divided government, right, we have
a Congress, we have courts,and we have a president and executive.
Congress has a lot to play inthis. It's policies over the years from
enablers like Greg Landsman and Shared Brownwho don't call out the president of their
own party but sort of turn ablind eye and allow these federal agencies to

(10:58):
run uck that stonewall policies that wouldrein in out of control energy costs and
unleash energy abundance in this country.Those enablers are just as responsible as the
president well and the other factor inthis. And it's almost comical, but
it's true. You look at theInflation Reduction Act, what a ridiculously named
piece of legislation, which was allabout pumping trillions plus dollars into this green

(11:20):
energy situation. They are running theprinting press in order to expand the administrative
state, heap down more of theserules and regulations which increase on their own
the cost of doing business in thiscountry, but at the same time watering
down the monetary supply. It's likea double whammie. Yeah. Well,

(11:41):
and I mean it's a massive boondogglethat was ultimately you know, they use
the crisis of out of control inflationto bizarrely enough push out more federal spending
that ultimately is the cause of inflationas well as we all learn through school
and just common sense with dictator andat the end of the day, it's
a boondoggle to advance their clean energyagenda, which again I'm personally not opposed.

(12:07):
I like the idea of clean Ilike I like the idea of clean
energy, but I don't want it, as most Americans don't want it forced
through federal subsidies and mandates at thecost of people's day to day lives.
When we talk about ten thousand dollarsright or that. You know, eggs
cost a little more, cheese costsa little more, milk costs a little

(12:28):
more. Most folks, you know, folks for our friends, and the
Democrat Progressive Party would say, iswell, just you know, it's what
we got to do as Americans toget by. We just got to take
it on the chin, work alittle, you know, you know,
it'll be okay, it's not allthat bad. You can absorb that,
right, you can afford, Brian, you can afford another, you know,
twenty five dollars of the grocery store. That's not going to hurt you.

(12:50):
Right, You're a you're a richradio personality, Right, you can
handle that. The reality is,Brian, not everybody's in your situation,
my situation, or Senator Shared Brown'sfinancial situation. Well, maybe yeah,
we can absorb that in some way. But what we're ignoring is the cost
of what we're not doing, right, the opportunity costs of what we're not
doing, because that money is nowgoing out to subsidize federal boondogo programs or

(13:15):
being absorbed in inflation. Let alonethe folks who aren't in quite our financial
situation, the folks who you knowhave lost their job because of this economy
or are working two jobs to tryto make ends. Need of the single
mom of three who's just trying toget by those are the folks who are
really feeling the negative impacts of thiseconomy and they can't absorb twenty five dollars.

(13:37):
That's a real position, and wehear those stories every day at the
gas pump, in the grocery storewhen we're out there providing relief. Well,
get out and vote, and don'tvote Democrat, as we have the
common refrain here on the fifty fivecarc morning. Sure you're going to vote
