| 0:00.0 | Book your ticket to happiness with Sun Express Airlines. This is John Bachelor from a conversation with my colleague Salina Zito of the Washington Examiner and the Wall Street |
| 0:25.5 | Journal about a decision most recently by the White House, the Biden administration, |
| 0:31.7 | to interrupt, to pause, to ban new permits for liquefied natural gas |
| 0:38.2 | ports, especially in the Gulf of Mexico. A puzzler given the demand for liquefied natural gas and the abundance of it the United States enjoys and fracking the genius of fracking. |
| 0:51.0 | It especially puzzles, challenges the major politicians of Pennsylvania, the Keystone State. |
