1
00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:03.439
Well, Sunday morning, let's go to New Jersey. We have
2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.929
Congressman Jeff Andrew. And, well, a lot of things are
3
00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:11.410
happening in New Jersey. Well, Congressman, give us an update.
4
00:00:11.429 --> 00:00:13.949
You've got nine days in the election.
5
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:17.600
Yep, I was just going to say that. I think
6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:20.460
that's what the update is at least partly about. It's
7
00:00:20.500 --> 00:00:23.339
a big deal. It's an important election. Now, we hear
8
00:00:23.379 --> 00:00:25.539
that every year. This is one of the most important
9
00:00:25.579 --> 00:00:29.420
elections ever. But it is, nevertheless. and we're going to
10
00:00:29.460 --> 00:00:33.259
have some more important ones. It is in our generation's hands,
11
00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:35.640
some of us older, some of us middle-aged, some of
12
00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:38.020
us younger, but we're going to be the ones that
13
00:00:38.060 --> 00:00:41.380
are going to determine whether we keep this United States
14
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:44.770
of America. You know, and I like to point out,
15
00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:49.130
that doesn't mean that Republicans are perfect or that we
16
00:00:49.210 --> 00:00:52.250
can't do better as a country or a society or
17
00:00:52.270 --> 00:00:55.350
everything's absolutely the way it should be. It's not. Yes,
18
00:00:55.429 --> 00:00:58.899
things are expensive. They've been worse. They were actually worse
19
00:00:58.950 --> 00:01:03.259
under Biden. But still, things are expensive. Oil is expensive.
20
00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:08.239
Gas is expensive. Much of that, though, is not only
21
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.439
the Iran situation. It is the fact that we've had
22
00:01:12.579 --> 00:01:17.659
bad public energy policy under Joe Biden and Democrats in general.
23
00:01:18.099 --> 00:01:21.019
They wouldn't allow us to build new refineries, wouldn't allow
24
00:01:21.079 --> 00:01:24.439
us to build new pipelines, wouldn't allow us to build
25
00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:29.659
new gas plants and modernize gas plants. All of this
26
00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:34.120
has caused tremendous problems. Their answer to energy was that
27
00:01:34.459 --> 00:01:38.579
we should keep ourselves much hotter in the summertime, much
28
00:01:38.659 --> 00:01:41.189
colder in the wintertime, and that we need to be
29
00:01:41.250 --> 00:01:43.790
more like Europe. And I don't know how many times
30
00:01:43.849 --> 00:01:47.920
I've heard colleagues, quite frankly, say, on the other side
31
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:52.099
of the aisle in Congress, in my committee, say, oh, no,
32
00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:54.239
we need to be a lot more like Europe. No,
33
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.959
God help us. We don't want to be a lot
34
00:01:57.000 --> 00:01:59.739
more like Europe. We want the United States to live
35
00:01:59.819 --> 00:02:03.680
up to its full potential. That's why really think about
36
00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:06.099
what you do when you vote this year. You know,
37
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:10.280
you're not voting for perfection. You're voting to keep America.
38
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.650
I think you're right. And my biggest problem is that
39
00:02:15.909 --> 00:02:19.250
I'm a, I am for common sense Democrats and common
40
00:02:19.270 --> 00:02:23.590
sense Republicans, but it looks like the Democrats, because they're socialists,
41
00:02:23.610 --> 00:02:29.270
they have lost their mind. And the problem I have,
42
00:02:29.610 --> 00:02:32.430
even if out there you think you're voting for a
43
00:02:32.469 --> 00:02:36.400
common sense Democrat, well, if the leadership of the Democratic
44
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:40.180
Party is socialist, they dare not go against the socialists.
45
00:02:42.699 --> 00:02:46.740
No doubt. And this is going to absolutely be... It's
46
00:02:46.780 --> 00:02:48.860
not just the word, by the way. You know, people say, well,
47
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:51.780
what does that mean, socialist? It really does mean you
48
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.340
have less freedom, that you do have less of an
49
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.939
ability to start a new business, that you do have
50
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:01.150
less opportunity. It means a lot that isn't good, that
51
00:03:01.189 --> 00:03:05.729
we don't want to have in America. America... is the leader.
52
00:03:06.110 --> 00:03:08.810
America is a shining city on the hill. We can
53
00:03:08.849 --> 00:03:12.110
do extraordinary things in this country, and we haven't even
54
00:03:12.189 --> 00:03:16.270
gotten near our full potential. If we unleash our American energy,
55
00:03:16.590 --> 00:03:19.750
we can have a better economy. Everybody can do better.
56
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:23.879
You know, people say, what's your economic plan, you know,
57
00:03:23.900 --> 00:03:27.530
for economics in this country? Part of it is, just
58
00:03:27.550 --> 00:03:30.110
to really make sure we have energy dominance, which we
59
00:03:30.150 --> 00:03:33.030
can do. Europe cannot do it. The reason they have
60
00:03:33.090 --> 00:03:36.189
wind turbines, the reason that so many people there have
61
00:03:36.229 --> 00:03:39.419
to live in apartments and don't have homes and all
62
00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:42.520
that goes along with it is because they don't have
63
00:03:42.580 --> 00:03:45.919
the ability to do that. America does. And I think
64
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:47.960
we want to keep that. I think you have to
65
00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:50.479
think twice before you say you want to change everything.
66
00:03:50.580 --> 00:03:53.349
So can we make some changes that are good? Absolutely.
67
00:03:53.370 --> 00:03:56.280
Do we need to do more with health care? absolutely
68
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.340
without question. Do we need to do better with energy? Yes,
69
00:03:59.460 --> 00:04:02.699
we do. And there are ways to do that where
70
00:04:02.740 --> 00:04:04.680
we can do much, much better. It's not going to
71
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.439
happen in a day or a week or a month,
72
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:08.159
but we've got to work on that.
73
00:04:08.930 --> 00:04:13.810
Well, Congressman Jeff Van Drew, let's pray for America. And we, uh,
74
00:04:14.129 --> 00:04:16.529
like to have you on more often and, uh, keep
75
00:04:16.550 --> 00:04:18.730
telling us what's going on in New Jersey, because we
76
00:04:18.769 --> 00:04:20.949
have a lot of listeners in New Jersey and we're
77
00:04:20.990 --> 00:04:23.540
number one in New York and New Jersey. And, uh,
78
00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:27.519
God bless you, and God bless America.
79
00:04:27.540 --> 00:04:31.100
You know what? I'll leave with this final thought. One
80
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.279
of the people I admired most in history was Winston Churchill.
81
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.480
Not an American, but had a lot of American values
82
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.459
and a great man. And he had a lot of
83
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.930
great quotes. And one of the simple quotes he had,
84
00:04:41.990 --> 00:04:47.990
very simple, never, never, never give up. Ladies and gentlemen,
85
00:04:48.050 --> 00:04:49.889
please don't give up on the United States.
1
00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:03.439
Well, Sunday morning, let's go to New Jersey. We have
2
00:00:03.560 --> 00:00:07.929
