"Why are we putting up with men playing in women's sports? It's a very simple question. And the attorney general of West Virginia, someone who I've known for quite some time actually, who he should be the senator from West Virginia, that's a separate issue.

Surely it's great to be with you and you're always spot on on these issues. This is a really interesting case. I'm really excited to talk to you about it today. Yeah, I am equally as excited. And so why don't you just explain it to our audience? I'm sure there's a lot of legalese involved here. So take as much time as necessary. I asked the simple moral question, why do we allow men in female sports, explain the legal question? Absolutely. So first of all, Americans have been watching what's been going on. They saw the NCAA swimming championships. They saw a lot of instances where biological males are coming into compete in women's sports. And West Virginia, a number of years ago in an effort to really get ahead of the curve, said, we're not going to let that happen. So the legislature, knowing what the future would likely look like, they said that if you're a biological male, you couldn't play in women's sports. That doesn't deny you the opportunity to play sports. It just says that you're not going to compete on the woman's team. So we thought this was a very reasonable common sense approach to protect women from a safety perspective and in terms of advancing their athletic opportunities. Charlie, as you know, title 9 has been utilized by women to advance to further athletic activities and also to develop leadership skills with women. So the West Virginia legislature knew all this at the time, they passed the law, but shortly after the law was passed, you got the inevitable challenge from plaintiffs trying to enjoy the law.

"RLE. Our editor Bill O'Neil, we thank you for joining us as we look at our top news stories now. I'm Rick Vance with Kim shepherd. New York congressman George Santos is getting his own bobblehead doll. The national bobblehead Hall of Fame says the embattled Republican will have two versions, the standard one, and another with an elongated nose like Pinocchio, the museum says it will donate $5 from each sale to dog related GoFundMe campaigns. The newest planned to tackle mental health issues in King County could cost taxpayers more than $1 billion. The money would come from higher property taxes and would include 5 regional crisis centers with one dedicated to young people. New research finds that the secret to stopping COVID-19 might be finding out where it enters the body. Medical reporter Liz bonis explains. Turns out that a different kind of antibody might hold the secret to stopping reinfection or even why some people get long COVID, according to this new research, and it's inside our noses. We feel symptoms in our noses from infection of COVID-19. Two weeks later, I'm still silencing and still trying to get over it. We can detect the virus in our noses. When we test for it, sometimes for weeks. Well, it's pretty clear that we can continue to isolate it from the nasal passages at least with antigen testing or PCR testing for a long time after the infection. And now researchers in the journal lancet have discovered that when we get infected with COVID-19, there are antibodies in our noses that get boosted as much as 40%, which can keep us from getting infected again. They are called mucosal antibodies. The protection seems to last for as much as 8 months. A study of more than 2000 hospital healthcare workers who were vaccinated and boosted showed that those who had these airway or mucosal antibodies had half the risk of getting infected with the omicron variant again compared to those who just had antibodies in their blood. Since it seems like this is an after effect, researchers also now say they are testing PEX lovit that the antiviral drug to see if it will help people prevent long COVID. Perhaps because the virus doesn't linger where there are mucosal antibodies. Maybe if we can eliminate the virus in those areas where it's hiding, then those people will feel better. The hope now is that a nasal vaccine might be the next weapon against all this. The idea is that it would generate the same kind of response seen after infection and stop or block the way a virus gets transmitted into the body. I'm not a reporter less bonus.

In prince George's county, the school CEO, the equivalent to the superintendent, is appointed by the county executive, in this case, Angela alsobrooks. And on Thursday, also Brooks said the search for a successor to retiring CEO Monica goldson will begin this month. But given that goldson referred to current acrimony on the school board, who would want to step in, Donna Christie, president of the prince George's county educators association said that might be seen as a benefit. Because as long as they can't get the votes together to override a decision of the CEO then the CEO has kind of unchecked decision making authority. Goldson plans to retire June 30th.

"In a deeply divided Congress Biden has had to rely on administrative agencies to implement his policy goals And the conservative justices on the court are embracing a judge made major questions doctrine that Congress rather than agencies and courts should tackle the biggest issues facing the country The courts blocking of Biden's vaccine mandate signals trouble ahead for broad assertions of agency power including efforts to address climate change I've been talking to professor pat Parente of the Vermont law school Pat even with the second vaccine mandate that the Supreme Court considered Where it was a healthcare vaccination rule issued by the centers for Medicare and Medicaid services to protect the health and safety of Medicaid and Medicare recipients even there four justices thought that that agency didn't have the power to protect those patients Right And that's very true of EPA You know EPA has this incredible array of statutory authority and mandates really to address these problems and so EPA over now going on 50 years As they accumulated expertise to address these issues and the fact that the fine grain details of which type of regulation should be used to address which kind of problem again that is really not something that members of Congress who are generalists they're not experts I mean they may have some specific expertise in certain areas but they certainly don't have the kind of expertise that an agency like EPA has accumulated with 17,000 people on the payroll in 20,000 contractors that they do they contract with to do investigation You know that kind of capacity and institutional ability to deal with these issues and design regulations appropriately to address them probably in the most efficient and cost effective way you can You know again that's not something Congress is even capable of doing So there has to be some level of trust that when Congress authorizes agencies to act the agencies will act in an appropriate way And of course the courts are always there to police what the agencies are doing And if they find that an agency has really gone in an unreasonable way they can correct that So that's the way the system really was designed with checks and balances It's worked pretty well And you know the Supreme Court the arrogate to itself the decision about what how a statute should be interpreted and whether Congress has been clear enough in its direction to the agency There's some room for the court to look at those questions but to arrogate to themselves the decision that no osha does not have the authority to address a public health crisis that is unmistakable across the country That going too far I think That's the court becoming an activist court and a court of not last resort but first resort saying we're going to decide how much power these agencies have So tell us about the case of West Virginia VE EPA that's coming up next month Right So this is the case involving regulation of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from power plants primarily of course coal fired power plants gas fired plants don't have nearly the same problem as coal fired plants at least at the combustion stage of greenhouse gas emissions So you know coal fired power plants are the single largest industrial source of these emissions that we have to bring under control that we're going to deal with the climate crisis And it's been a subject of course of vigorous debate and controversy The state of West Virginia and their attorney general Patrick Morrissey you know has been the spearhead of the effort to prevent EPA from requiring sort of more I guess it's aggressive measures to reduce emissions from these plants including switching from coal to gas or switching from gas or coal to renewables And EPA's clean power plan under the Obama administration it did propose a rule It's called guidance but it has the force of a rule That would gave the state some flexibility in bringing these emissions down But it clearly identified what we call generation shifting as a major strategy And it's that generation shifting approach to reducing emissions that West Virginia and many other states who happen to be Republican dominated controlled states are bringing to the Supreme Court So it comes down to this question again Did Congress in the clean air act specifically authorized EPA to use these more novel or they're not so much novel but more aggressive measures to reduce emissions from power plants not just generation shifting but also things like emissions trading which of course we have used for years to address things like acid rain which is a long-range transport problem comes from faraway sources and causes problems to forests and lakes and streams From power plants located far from the places where they're impacting those resources and EPA for a long time has designed in a variety of ways smog is another one where you have.

Chris, Thanks so much for being back on the show. Thanks for having me on Rachel. Good morning. Good morning. Why do pipelines need their own set of regulations? Whether they operating conditions of pipeline is one of our critical infrastructures. They have some unique aspects and given the way that the U. S government divvies up the oversight and management of the various critical infrastructure sectors. Pipelines. Oddly enough fall under the Transportation Security Administration, you might think sounds like an energy department area right instead of the people who are watching over the metal detectors at airports. Yeah, well, but But ultimately, Ah, pipeline is a mode of transportation, and there are multiple products that moved through pipelines, including water and chemicals and gasses. And so what You really think about is not the product that flows through the pipes. But it's the modality itself. It's the infrastructure itself. And t essa is is uniquely situated to, uh, T O be helpful here. And so what you're saying is As you pointed out the first security regulation from T Essa over pipelines in it's an incremental step, at least for the moment. So what's it going to change? Well, for one. This specific directive in the directive is focused its threat oriented. I likely be time limited, but it's it's going to require reporting of security incidents to T s a and to my old agency system, and that's it. But there's additional authority that may take a little bit more time to develop where you may see things like security standards or baseline standards of performance for security measures, So this is primarily of reporting mechanism it proud. But companies then are going to have to disclose when they've been hacked to the federal government. Are they interested in revealing that information? Well, that's the interesting thing right when you think back to the initial days of the colonial pipeline hack a couple weeks ago. And my predecessor, the acting director was in Congress, and he was asked questions about what you know what don't you know? And ultimately early on, there wasn't a lot of information available to the federal government because it's not required to report on incidents and I think that's a key. Element that has to change across all of our critical infrastructures, not just pipelines. But these companies need to report to the government because if we don't really know how big the problem is, It's hard to make informed policy and operational decisions going forward. So these regulations are supposed to be mandatory. How do you enforce that? Well, there are a number of different ways they could do that. First it just through the kind of the wag your finger and you engage them all the way up to security finds a shutdown of operations. These are the sorts of directives the T s a issues and implement all the time in airports just recently, mask mandates on commercial air travel, So there's a regime in place. There are relationships with the pipeline sector, and now it's just a matter of getting it out there Helping these organizations understand who they need to talk to. And how to do it. And you're not into this earlier. But help us understand what comes from that information. So the federal government finds out about a particular hack.

"Our to Sean Hannity Show Toll free. It's 809 41. Sean, If you wanna be a part of the program, so In West Virginia, the Eiji They're just filed the nation's first energy environmental appeal at the U. S. Supreme Court since Biden took office now Thankfully, they're doing this. It seeks to overturn an appeals court ruling that would radically transform energy production nationwide. We spent a lot of time stroke of a pen. You know, for example, if you're working on the Keystone XL pipeline. Yeah, you're out of work now, But don't worry. You're gonna get another high paying union job That doesn't exist right now. So the attorney general led 19 other states, urging the Supreme Court to act swiftly to stop this appeals court ruling that would give the EPA virtually unlimited authority. To regulate everyday life with rules that would devastate the energy industry, coal mining and increase energy costs. That's that's for every one of you listening. You'll pay more at the pump. You'll pay more to heat your home school your homes over the summer, and they're arguing the lower court made a big error using a small provision of the federal law. That grants the EPA broad authority without congressional input. What is what has been one of the signature signs of all things radical socialist Biden and that is bypassing and a coequal branch of government. And this is what the third coequal branch of government is all about when there's a conflict between the executive and legislative branches, So this is the way that this happens. And so they're arguing that this provision that again without any congressional input to unilaterally decide to quote de carbonized any sector of the economy. I mean, this is where we are devastating the energy sector high paying career jobs in this country. I mean, just with the stroke of a pen that they don't want to bring this. To the floor for a vote because they can't win it there. And they're just hoping that the courts are gonna legislate from the bench, which, so far they had some Success, but I'm hoping the Supreme Court finally will take a stand. And anyway to give us an update on it is the attorney general of the Great State of West Virginia. Patrick Morrissey is with us. Well, you got 19 states Now you're leading the way. How devastating would this be? And how impactful would this be on energy Jobs said on the price for energy for every American Shot. First of all, thank you for having me on and I thought your introduction did a very good job framing the issue for the American public. We need to make sure that all Americans know the huge impact of what President Biden's trying to do and what's at stake with this huge Supreme Court fight. So, Sean, you set it up, right? The day before Joe Biden took office. There was a DC court decision that went way beyond anything we thought was even possible in terms of the EPA's authority. Regulate admissions. To control America's energy sector and to really one roughshod over the American economy. So as we've been watching what Joe Biden has been doing over the last two months and analyzing the law and that decision from the D C circuit We thought it was imperative to pull together a broad national coalition of ages and say, Hey, look, the EPA doesn't have unlimited authority to transform the American economy. We have to make sure that decisions at the level of climate change those air for Congress. Debate and for the president to result, you cannot just put the EPA bureaucrats in charge that so we think we have a very compelling case. That's why we're going up to the Supreme Court. Shawn. It builds on the big win we had in 2016 when we obtained the historic state off the Obama power plan. But if you look at what Biden is trying to do not only to wipe out whole not only to dramatically curtail the use of natural gas, but they're basically electrify the economy and that electrification words that I'm using. I'm not using in a positive way. This is actually going to dramatically increase fuel costs and cripple our ability to compete on the world stage. The other critical point shot I'd mentioned as that This is a giveaway to China. Biden weighs coming up with his number to say we're going to reduce emissions. 50%. He's doing that at the same time that China is going to be dramatically increasing its use of coal, and so we are unilaterally surrendering America's energy independence. One of our chief foreign rivals. This is a disaster of those A news story today that they're also looking toe partner with one of Saudi Arabia is biggest oil producing companies in that country. So that would tell me when you put those two items together. They're looking for world dominance, which, by the way we've been warning about Um often, when, when we get to hear audio it is. We don't have cameras that the U. S Supreme Court. But you we hear cases, the audio cases. And when they're presented in arguments were presented before the Supreme Court. I mean, it's a very fascinating process, Somebody might on one side of the other side. Get out two words before The words Why are you here? Why is this before us? And it's fascinating because if I'm mean some justices Scalia was famous for this. You know, you can't get a full sentence out and he's gonna hammer you with tough questions right out of the box. And anyway, so when the question comes up, why are you here before us? Why? This is exactly what the role of the Supreme Court should be on. But the judicial branch is all about you were here. Because you're saying that this is unconstitutional. You are saying that they're bypassing that other branch of government that seems to be bypassed an awful lot. The co equal branch called the legislative branch. So when that question assuming the Supreme Court will take this case, assuming it's taken, that question will be easily answered, won't it? It is. So the key is we get the Supreme Court to review it and argument. Why are we here is pretty clear. The Clean Air Act on Lee gives the EPA limited authority when it comes to this regulation of greenhouse gasses. This is not the all powerful almighty EPA and Decisions of this magnitude that would transform the whole economy that has to be resolved by Congress signed into law by the president. It's such a major change, so that is why we're here. And we think that this Gets to the heart of what we the Supreme quarter already ruled in favor of back in 2016. That's why we just have to get this case to the court, and we think there's a good chance we could prevail. How soon will you know if they're willing to hear this? Probably going to know in the fall because normally the process we filed the petition to hear the case yesterday, and obviously the government is going to have their opportunity to respond. And then we'll do a reply. So I bet sometime in September October woman All right. We appreciate the update, Attorney General Great State of West Virginia leading now 19 other states now in a coalition against this unconstitutional Radical new green deal Socialist madness that will impact every American and deeply impact the idea of energy independence and high paying career jobs in the energy sector. Listen, why is this important? Well, when you start paying for $5 a gallon for gas, and you're paying twice as much to heat and cool your home, then maybe you'll say, Why didn't we listen to Hannity? He was right from the beginning there in fire medical environmental radicals. It is good for our national security. It is good for our financial security.

"Got to get the boats. That's why you know. Are you the one thing that I have this strange notion way our democracy? Some of my Republican friends, and some of my Democratic friends even occasionally say, Well, if you can't get the votes by executive order, you're going to do something things that can't do by executive order on my shirt dictator where democracy we need consensus. Of course, Democrats never applied the standards that they applied the Republicans to themselves. Anyway. Patrick Morrissey is with us. He's leading this effort. I understand, sir. That and welcome to the program. I understand. Other attorneys generals are joining in with you now and in this effort I did. I did see your letter to President Biden. Have you gotten a response is a five page letter. We have not received a response yet, Sean. But first I want to say thank you for having me on your program because the timing could be better. The reality is that the state attorneys general are stepping up and they know that right now there is one party rule in Washington and with the Democrats controlling the White House, the Senate and the House Lot is going to fall to the Republican attorneys general to make sure that the rule of law is defended that our Constitution's it here, too, and we're going to protect all these important, hardworking men and women that live in our states. These jobs are under attack because President Biden, who came in with a message of unity Is out there issuing one executive order after another, and he's trying to bypass the legislative process, and he's putting states like West Virginia at risk our economy our way of life. We're not going to stand for that, and a number of us are banding together and we will be in court. Tell us what the strategy is and how this is gonna work because I know the state of Texas is they've been very effective so far on the immigration front. I don't know if Texas was one of the state have the list here in front of me in the back a letter those that sign Mississippi Indiana, Arkansas, Ken Paxton of Texas did sign it. And the Montana attorney general and the Arkansas attorney general. I want to give everyone credit and how many other states have joined in. So there were six that joined the first letter. But then we had a follow up letter that was spearheaded by Montana, 14 States, and that was about the executive order related to the Keystone Pipeline. Chyna's You've talked about there about 11,000 Americans sort risk of losing their jobs and in West Virginia. The oil gas. Coal in manufacturing jobs were very much risk because of what Biden and some of the far left or trying to do to advance the green new deal. So here's what the attorneys general are trying to do. One. Our role was to step in when we think that the administration's not following the Constitution or they're bypassing Congress in order to do something very quick or they're not following the rules that Congress has commanded them to follow. So we read every line of every page of every order that comes out and when we see that they messed up, we go to court because we are the only entities that can really hold them accountable. But Shawn, we don't do it based on politics. We do it based upon the fact that our country demands that all branches of government Follow the rule of law. And right now it's up to the states to put the feds and check when they crossed the line. What about Senator Manchin? I've known Senator. Imagine I've interviewed him a couple times. Um, Senator Manchin doesn't seem to be too outspoken or two critical. Ah, and I'm told he's going to go along with this impeachment shift show charade that that's going on in the Senate. And my question is, you know energies, obviously big for the great State of West Virginia. I've been there and I've been I've been in cold country. I mean, you don't. By the way, anybody that could do that job? God bust him. I would never want to do that job. Go out of my mind being down that far in the crown number one And and it's dangerous as we all know, we know what's happened of minors in the past. We know the issue of black lung and what it means, Sean these air assault of the earth people, they're amazing, and they work really, really hard and they're good paying jobs. The reality is that if you're doing or kind of rig or you're a machinist or you're doing manufacturing for a pipeline, people working really hard, but they're getting paid very well. And states like West Virginia that we're trying to move away from poverty. And complete with many other states around the nation. We really depend on those jobs because it's not only about oil and gas and coal and manufacturing. It's about being able to buy your own home to provide for your family to take them out to the restaurant to make sure that the communities are intact, that they don't have these jobs that go away. And when I hear John Kerry say, You can all make solar panels. I think of Marie Antoinette when she says, Let me take it. Never. The job's never materialized. So I think that's what's happening with respect to Senator Mansion. Look, we're always hopeful that he'll try to do the right thing. I worry very much that he's gonna be under a lot of pressure. Are to vote in favor of Biden and that far left agenda. We could just keep putting pressure on him because the object is to make sure that he represents West Virginia, not Chuck Schumer or Biden. I think that's great advice. I mean, if you had any conversations with him about this, do you have a relationship with him? Well, as you know, I ran against him a couple years ago for U S senate. But I want him to represent the state's values. And I recognized using a very important position right now, and I would just ask him to do the right thing. And we all rooting for all of our elected officials, But we want them to take actions that are consistent with our values. So I hope Senator Mansion does I'll be the first one to work for him if he ends up supporting West Virginia values and the critical jobs here at home, so I certainly want him to do the right thing. I hope he does. And you know, I'm going to tell you something. I've learned a lot doing this 33 years and radio and 25 years on Fox. You know what? It's not those idiots in Washington. That make this country great. It's just not People that make this country great Other farmers are the other people in the energy industry. The people that create the goods and services we all love want need and desire. Are manufacturers are auto manufacturers. Everything manufacturers, you know, dishwashers and washing machines and dryers. All this stuff the other people that make this country great and they're the people that are gonna be taxed to death. The other people they're going to see their jobs disappearing. The other people are gonna be paying more for gas and heating the other people that get up and do most of the you know they obey the laws. They pay their taxes. They live by the rules. They try and raise their kids and still good values. You know, they work their 14 16 hours a day and fall asleep and wake up the next day and do it all over again. It's not these Washington people, some people that You know, Get up. A lot of the everybody in West Virginia gets up and works at a job. They probably don't love every day, but they do it for their family and their loved ones. They make the country great. Look, you're exactly right in the reality is what's Virginia's, the second largest producer of coal in the United States. And these are the folks that keep the lights on. Right? If you're listening right now, you're in California or New York. You know that The hardworking men and West Virginia are working overtime whether they have rolling blackouts because they're insane. You know, environmentalists agendas. Let me ask you today ever solve the issues to protect against black lung. I never got an answer A good answer on that. Well look, black calling is still very serious issue. I know that here in West Virginia, we've taken it pretty seriously. There are a lot of provisions in the last decade that have gone through, so a lot of the benefits are flowing to those people. But the reality is you can't take away the loss of life that we've seen or the families that have suffered. The best thing we could do to the people that came before us is to respect their way of life know that they gave up a lot and not try to wipe out their jobs. And not put any in return. All right. Well, I appreciate what you're doing. Keep us in the loop. Patrick Morrisey 809 41. Shawn is our number You want to be a part of the program will take calls for the rest of this hour.

I understand, sir. That and welcome to the program. I understand. Other attorneys generals are joining in with you now and in this effort I did. I did see your letter to President Biden. Have you gotten a response was a five page letter. We have not received a response yet, Sean, But we're so I want to say thank you for having me on your program because the timing couldn't be better. The reality is that the state attorneys general are stepping up and they know that right now there is one party rule in Washington and with the Democrats controlling the White House, the Senate and the House. Lot is going to fall to the Republican attorneys, Cheryl to make sure that the rule of law is defended that our Constitution's it here, too, and we're going to protect all these important, hardworking men and women that live in our states. These jobs air under exact because President Biden, who came in with a message of unity is out there issuing one executive order after another. And he's trying to bypass the legislative process, and he's putting states like West Virginia at risk our economy our way of life. We're not going to stand for that, and a number of us are banding together and we will be in court. Tell us what the strategy is and how this is gonna work because I know the state of Texas is they've been very effective so far on the immigration front. I don't know if Texas was one of the state. I have the list here in front of me in the back a letter those that sign Mississippi Indiana, Arkansas, Ken Paxton of Texas did sign it. And the Montana attorney general and the Arkansas attorney general. I want to give everyone credit and how many other states have joined in. So there were six that joined the first letter. But then we had a follow up letter that was spearheaded by Montana, 14 States, and that was about the executive order related to the Keystone Pipeline. Chyna's You've talked about there about 11,000 Americans for risk of losing their jobs and in West Virginia, the oil gas coal in manufacturing Jobs. They're very much risk because of what Biden and some of the far left or trying to do to advance the green new deal. So here's what the attorneys general are trying to do. One. Our role was to step in when we think that the administration's not following the Constitution or they're bypassing Congress in order to do something very quick where they're not following the rules that Congress is commanded them to follow. So we read every Line of every page of every order that comes out and when we see that they messed up, we go to court because we are the only entities that can really hold them accountable. But Shawn, we don't do it based on politics. We do it based upon the fact that our country demands that all branches of government follow the rule of law. And right now it's up to the states. To put the feds and check when they crossed the line. What about Senator Manchin? I've known Senator. Imagine I've interviewed him a couple times. Um, Senator Manchin doesn't seem to be too outspoken or two critical, and I'm told he's going to go along with this impeachment shift show charade that that's going on in the Senate. And my question is, you know energies, obviously big for the great State of West Virginia had been there and I've been I've been in cold country. I mean, you know, I don't By the way, anybody that could do that job? God bust him. I would never want to do that job. Go out of my mind being down that far in the crown number one And it's dangerous as we all know, we know what's happening. Miners in the past. We know the issue of black lung and what it means, Sean these air assault of the earth people, they're amazing, and they work really, really hard and they're good paying jobs. The reality is that if you're doing work on a rig or your machinists are you doing manufacturing for a pipeline? People working really hard, but they're getting paid very well. And states like West Virginia is that we're trying to move away from poverty. And complete with many other states around the nation. We really depend on those jobs because it's not only about well on gas and coal and manufacturing. It's about being able to buy your own home to provide for your family to take them out to the restaurant to make sure that the communities are intact, that they don't have these jobs that go away. And when I hear John Kerry say, Well, you can all make solar panels. I think of Marie Antoinette when she says, Let me take it. It's never the job's never materialized, So I think that's what's happening with respect to Senator Mansion. Look, we're always hopeful that he'll try to do the right thing. I worry very much that he's going to be under a lot of pressure to vote in favor of Biden and that far left agenda. We could just keep putting pressure on him because the object is to make sure that he represents West Virginia, not Chuck Schumer or Biden. I think that's great advice. I mean, if you had any conversations with him about this, do you have a relationship with him? Well, as you know, I ran against him a couple years ago for U S senate, But I want him to represent the state's values. And I recognized using a very important position right now, and I would just ask him to do the right thing and we all rooting for all of our elected officials, but we want them to Take actions that are consistent with our values. So I hope Senator mansion does. I'll be the first one to work for him if he ends up supporting West Virginia values and the critical jobs here at home, so I certainly want him to do the right thing. I hope he does. And you know, I'm going to tell you something. I've learned a lot doing this 33 years and radio and 25 years on Fox. You know what? It's not those idiots in Washington. That make this country great. It's just not People that make this country great Other farmers are the other people in the energy industry. The people that create the goods and services we all love want need and desire are manufacturers are auto manufacturers are everything manufacturers, you know, dishwashers and washing machines and dryers. All this stuff the other people that make this country great. And the other people. They're gonna be taxed to death. The other people they're going to see their jobs disappearing. The other people are gonna be paying more for gas and heating the other people that get up and do most of the you know they obey the laws. They pay their taxes. They live by the rules. They try and raise their kids and still good values. You know, they work their 14 16 hours a day and fall asleep and wake up the next day and do it all over again. It's not these Washington people, some people that You know, get up. A lot of the everybody in West Virginia gets up and works for the job. They probably don't love every day, but they do it for their family and their loved ones. They make the country great. Look here exactly right in the reality is what's Virgin is the second largest producer of coal in the United States. And these are the folks that keep the lights on. Right? If you're listening right now, you're in California or New York. You know that The hardworking men in West Virginia are working overtime whether I have rolling blackouts because they're insane. You know, environmentalists agendas. Let me ask you today ever solve the issues to protect Against black lung. I never got an answer A good answer on that. Well look, blackballing is still very serious issue. I know that here in West Virginia, we've taken it pretty seriously. There are a lot of provisions in the last decade that have gone through, so a lot of the benefits are flowing those people, But the reality is you can't take away the loss of life that we've seen or the families who have suffered. The best thing we could do to the people who came before us is to respect their way of life know that they gave up Lot and not try to wipe out their jobs and not put any in return. All right. Well, I appreciate what you're doing. Keep us in the loop. Patrick Morrisey 809 41. Shawn is our number. You want to be a part of the program will take calls for the rest of this hour.

He's joining that effort. Well, I think any time a new president comes into office You want to give people the benefit of the doubt, But what we've seen it in the first week alone is deeply disturbing. So we laid out the limits of the executive authority because what this president is becoming known for within one week is that he's want to go toe all lands to use his executive authority to implement his ideas. I'm deeply worried about that, because the impact of jobs across so many states in America what he's doing to advance the green new deal, and I think this is just the beginning.

You have to be able to pressurize that material and what they use is they use pumping stations. On blows air, gigantic natural fed engines. These things are massive, and they take natural gas and burn it and these were combustion comes from so it has some admissions.

But Democratic State delegate Barbara Flesh our says the legal ethics of Morsi's actions could lead to disbarment. Legal maneuver of picking their nose into the business of other states is very, very questionable. She also thinks it's important to discuss the attempt to undermine African American votes, a move historically associated with white supremacy. The counting of votes is One of the most precious rights that we have in our country. This lawsuit was an attempt to devalue the votes of people. Many of them were African Americans, and we had by the civil war for them to get their right to vote.

Fresno Bee has reported that five men who are local right wing activists took part in the insurrection in Washington, D. C on Wednesday. All six are known to have been involved in confrontations and aggressive acts locally as federal prosecutors continued to arrest participants in the coup attempt. I asked the Fresno County Sheriff's Office if these men were being scrutinized here by law enforcement. Tony body is the department's public information officer. In fact, anybody locally here was involved in something that was illegal in Washington, D C. It would be up to an agency in that jurisdiction to first look into it, if they felt that there was something more to this person and wanted to know about them. Then they could always go back to the local jurisdiction. And if it was somebody with a Fresno County, Ty, um you know, someone in that agency could very well reach out to our office to try and gain more intelligence about that person and we're happy to work with other if that would be needed.
