Jason Spiess: Gentlemen, thank you for joining us here today. Let’s talk a little bit about Mining Money. Last night, of course, there was a debate, or was it a couple nights ago? Forgot when it was because my days blurred together.
Brandon Davis: Last night.
Jason Spiess: Was it last night? Okay, days blur together. My phone blew up, because apparently Joe Biden said he was going to ban fracking or didn’t want to do anything with fracking. Are you guys following this? Do you know what I’m talking about?
Brandon Davis: You said that, then he didn’t say it too, right? He said that, he didn’t say it, so I’m kind of confused on which one it is.
Jason Spiess: Well, that’s where I’m at too. I’m still trying to figure it out, because people are saying, well, he didn’t say he was gonna ban it. He said he was gonna—
Brandon Davis: Tell you what he did say is that he was going to phase out, last night, he’s going to phase out oil and gas for alternative energy. That’s what he said, and that’s what’s got everybody up-up roaring, and I don’t blame them.

Brandon Davis: Anyone that votes for that guy has to literally hate this country. That’s the only reason that someone would vote for Joe Biden, because there’s no other reason.
Jason Spiess: What I’m wondering is, do they even talk about a plan? Does any reporters or anybody follow up about what the plan is? I mean, we’ve talked about this before, about—
Imran Khan: No, no, I heard him say, uh, to the effect of he can’t discuss his plans, because if he does, they’ll kill him or something like that, and I just was like cracking up about that one. Of the times in his—
Brandon Davis: Well, if you watch the debate, Jason, the best part of the whole debate was in the beginning when they asked what-what would Joe Biden have done with the COVID–19 pandemic? And he explained exactly what Trump has done, like to a T. To a T. He did the same— exactly what trump has done, exactly what has happened: rapid testing, mask. Well, everything that he said has been done. So, what? He’s not gonna do anything new when he gets in there. It’s, uh, except for shut the country down, which is another thing that did not sit very well with me last night, because that about put me out of business.
Jason Spiess: What are people saying about this when he,
