SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Here's the underlying story that nobody will ever talk about. Lynda, you tell me if I'm wrong here. You know, Saudi Arabia is rich because of oil. They're rich because of energy.

Now that Joe Biden's been president and implemented his Green New Deal strategy and stopped the Keystone XL Pipeline -- but, of course, granting Vladimir Putin a waiver for Nord Stream 2 -- and put up obstacle after obstacle for energy, domestic energy production, that's coal, oil, and gas. We have hundreds and hundreds of years' worth of energy resources, fossil fuel resources, gas, oil, coal. And we're not tapping into it.

So we, as a country, under this, you know, what I call the climate alarmist religious cult, we have unilaterally disarmed ourselves and are now at the mercy of energy -- other energy rich companies.

...

So, this is the deeper story here. Because if America had a half a brain, we would be doing what the Saudis are doing. And that's the story behind the PGA and the Saudi government's ability to buy the PGA, basically, and to pay all these golfers. Well, what sport are they going to choose next? Are they going to go after the NFL?
