Sean Hannity was the keynote speaker at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference in Bismarck, ND yesterday. See below for what he bloviated on.
Hannity said (via Bismarck Tribune
In spite of government, you have been able to show the entire country that there is an answer out there — the answer is oil, the answer is energy, it's the lifeblood of our economy," he said to the crowd. "You have shown the country the way, I just hope that America is wise and smart enough to follow North Dakota.
Yes Sean. Every state should follow North Dakota by lucking into being created over a large, recoverable oil field! Why didn't Mississippi think of that!?
There was also this:
He said he wants the country to drill for energy anywhere it can, adding that 48 states have oil that could be tapped.
I guess those two states that don't have oil are screwed and looking for a hand out. Plus lets look at how accurate Hannity's quote really is.

As you can see, while there are oil reserves a lot of them aren't going to produce enough oil to make it worth oil companies time to come in, set up, and drill.
Finally:
On his shows, Hannity has encouraged listeners and viewers hurt by economic downturn to head to the state for jobs
Yes. Thanks Sean for encouraging your crackpot listeners to move to North Dakota and come here for jobs. Instead lots of these people are coming for drugs, prostitution, and just general mayhem. Crime rates in western North Dakota have sky rocketed so thanks for that Sean!
