"Not So Green" (Friday, March 20, 2026, Hour 4) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:02
Speaker 1: What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect.
0:07
Speaker 2: For the law on a need to know basis, because
0:11
Speaker 2: you need to know the first thing today.
0:14
Speaker 3: George said, steal me stem you have a day at
0:19
Speaker 3: least for work when the sun comes up, drops a kid.
0:22
Speaker 4: To school, then joys everything.
0:25
Speaker 5: All the treasure needs no one that Joe's as smiled,
0:32
Speaker 5: He only as pleas.
0:37
Speaker 6: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
0:39
Speaker 6: you this morning. You know how we roll. I will
0:44
Speaker 6: tell you what went on last night, and then I
0:47
Speaker 6: will give you my analysis of it without any extra charge.
0:51
Speaker 6: No up charging here, no up charging or upfront transparent pricing,
0:57
Speaker 6: just like our healthcare industry. Tongue back out of cheek,
1:03
Speaker 6: finished announcement. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have read that. It's
1:06
Speaker 6: like we've borrowed Joe Biden's teleprompter. So after we do that,
1:10
Speaker 6: we will ask you how it's impacting you where you are.
1:13
Speaker 6: The pipeline. All of a sudden, Gavin Newsom loves him
1:16
Speaker 6: some pipeline in California. Doesn't want Trump to have it.
1:21
Speaker 6: Surprised that he wants it. But the oil is flowing
1:24
Speaker 6: through California, which is I guess better than it is
1:27
Speaker 6: through carg Island in Iran. But that is also part
1:32
Speaker 6: of our conversation, is what's going on in the Middle East.
1:37
Speaker 6: It will lay it all out for you here as
1:39
Speaker 6: we get together a couple of emails, text messages Bob good,
1:44
Speaker 6: good for America as well. Coming back here, Joe, I
1:48
Speaker 6: think you're right about President Trump wanting to make sure
1:51
Speaker 6: Iran has something going for it when this war is over.
1:56
Speaker 6: Rebuild is still the biggest worry after combat operations because
2:01
Speaker 6: what comes next is going to be key. And that's
2:04
Speaker 6: always it. I mean, it was World War two, civil war,
2:09
Speaker 6: the danger, the peril, and I want to throw this
2:12
Speaker 6: in there is the idea of nation building that you know,
2:17
Speaker 6: there's money to be made, there's economic activity to me made.
2:21
Speaker 6: It's some of what Eisenhower was warning about regarding the
2:24
Speaker 6: military industrial complex, or at least it grew from that
2:28
Speaker 6: where it's you know, we broke it, now we can
2:31
Speaker 6: rebuild it. And I will hold on to my concerns
2:37
Speaker 6: in that. Seeing how the President worked toward Gaza and
2:41
Speaker 6: this peace committee that's supposed to oversee the actual building
2:46
Speaker 6: of Gaza, I guess there was at some point building
2:49
Speaker 6: there because the rubble had to come from somewhere, but
2:53
Speaker 6: that the President didn't want to just salt the earth
2:58
Speaker 6: in Iran is important and I think we need to
3:01
Speaker 6: we need to take a look into that. So the
3:03
Speaker 6: first things that we've been reporting this morning missiles flying
3:07
Speaker 6: back and forth in between Iran and their Arab neighbors
3:12
Speaker 6: as well as Israel. Israel had targeted Iran South Par's
3:17
Speaker 6: natural gas field and that was the source of missile fire,
3:22
Speaker 6: the target of missile fire until President Trump called Israeli
3:27
Speaker 6: Prime Minister Benjamin Netan Yahoo and said, please don't do that,
3:31
Speaker 6: and they stopped. Iran is still shooting missiles at every
3:35
Speaker 6: neighbor they can find. Cutter announced, upon looking into the
3:40
Speaker 6: damage of their liquefied natural gas export facility that was
3:45
Speaker 6: struck by an Iranian missile two days ago, that their
3:49
Speaker 6: production will be cut down by seventeen percent. They say
3:55
Speaker 6: they repairs will risk ditrect twelve point eight million tons
4:02
Speaker 6: of liquefied natural gas for three to five years. Federal
4:07
Speaker 6: prosecutors in Miami have issued subpoenas for former FBI director
4:12
Speaker 6: James Comy as the Justice Department continues to investigate the
4:16
Speaker 6: Obama era intelligence officials involved in the Russia collusion hoax.
4:22
Speaker 6: Prosecutors have also issued subpoenas to former CIA director John Brennan,
4:27
Speaker 6: former FBI director Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI counter
4:32
Speaker 6: intelligence official Peters Strunk, and former FBI attorney Lisa Page.
4:39
Speaker 6: US judge Mustafa Kasubai of Eugene, Oregon has granted a
4:45
Speaker 6: summary judgment in a case brought by nineteen states in
4:50
Speaker 6: the District of Columbia, saying that the Department of Health
4:53
Speaker 6: and Human Services and Secretary Robert Kennedy Junior have violated
5:00
Speaker 6: federal law and overstep their authority to restrict medical providers
5:04
Speaker 6: providing gender care to miners. To be clear, what they
5:07
Speaker 6: said they would do is not pay for it. European
5:11
Speaker 6: Union lawmakers voted Thursday to advance legislation related to the
5:15
Speaker 6: trade deals struck last year. The Trade Committee of the
5:19
Speaker 6: European Parliament voted twenty nine to nine with one abstention,
5:23
Speaker 6: in favor of the legislation. Harmeet Dillon, Assistant Attorney General
5:29
Speaker 6: for Civil Rights the Justice Department, told a Newsmax that
5:35
Speaker 6: twenty nine states are refusing to comply with the Department
5:39
Speaker 6: of Justices request to hand over voter roles to make
5:42
Speaker 6: sure that they are free of non citizens whose existence
5:48
Speaker 6: on the roles could be used by people to vote
5:51
Speaker 6: fraudulently in upcoming elections. And those are some of our
5:55
Speaker 6: first things this morning. Coming up, we're hitting the road.
6:01
Speaker 6: We're heading out to c PACK next week, brought to

Speaker 6: We'll be coming to you, I believe, Tuesday morning from there,
6:22
Speaker 6: and we'll be in in Chattanooga for that morning and
6:27
Speaker 6: then head the rest of the way to Dallas, Texas
6:30
Speaker 6: to bring you everything that CPACK has to offer. The
6:32
Speaker 6: Virginia Institute for Public Policy. You should take a look
6:36
Speaker 6: at it regardless of which state you're in and take
6:39
Speaker 6: heed of some of what we do at the Virginia
6:43

7:04
Speaker 7: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
7:07
Speaker 7: to look into.
7:08
Speaker 6: And that's meta share.
7:10
Speaker 7: Maybe you've heard joining metashare can save you or your
7:12
Speaker 7: family up to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, But.
7:16
Speaker 8: It's also true.
7:16
Speaker 7: People are just happier with it. They love being part
7:19
Speaker 7: of something that reflects and promotes their.
7:21
Speaker 8: Values and what they believe in.
7:23
Speaker 6: Meda Share works too.
7:24
Speaker 7: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
7:27
Speaker 7: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.

Speaker 8: share forty eight five five share.
7:59
Speaker 9: Forty considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
8:07
Speaker 9: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
8:13
Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

10:04
Speaker 10: I'm not only in all of their.
10:05
Speaker 5: Beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just

Speaker 5: look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,

Speaker 5: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20

10:25
Speaker 5: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:29
Speaker 5: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
Speaker 5: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
10:35

10:37
Speaker 5: whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
10:41
Speaker 5: when there's a change.

13:15
Speaker 2: Media Network, All natural and free of artificial intelligence.
13:25
Speaker 6: Gavin loves pipeline And no, that's not a metaphor for
13:30
Speaker 6: something else. Although I've never it never ceases to amaze
13:36
Speaker 6: me what the Internet can create out of innocuous phrases.
13:39
Speaker 6: So you know, keep it, keep my keep my name
13:43
Speaker 6: out of Reddit and all the other sub chats that
13:46
Speaker 6: go on there. If you see the name Chris chan
13:49
Speaker 6: run uh joining us to talk about Gavin loves pipelines.
13:53
Speaker 6: Is the great doctor Bonner Cohen from the Committee for
13:57
Speaker 6: Constructive Tomorrow see fact or good morning, Bonner. How are
14:01
Speaker 6: you doing, sir.
14:03
Speaker 3: Good daring Joe. I'm doing well, and I hope you
14:05
Speaker 3: are too.
14:06
Speaker 6: No, absolutely always having fun. Get my rest, eat my well,
14:10
Speaker 6: eat my chickpeas and my quene wa and and I
14:13
Speaker 6: seem to be getting all the protein I need from there.
14:16
Speaker 6: Maybe great.
14:17
Speaker 3: See the trouble with a tough world out there.
14:20
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's tough with a tough thing with a vegetarian
14:23
Speaker 6: diet is I eat too much? And you know my
14:26
Speaker 6: wife makes too good. I guess the secret to a
14:29
Speaker 6: vegetarian diet is most people don't make it flavorful enough
14:33
Speaker 6: because I am people look at me and say you're
14:35
Speaker 6: you're a vegetarian. I've had people saying, please don't tell
14:38
Speaker 6: people you're a vegetarian because you need to lose a
14:41
Speaker 6: few pounds, and that's killing the image of the average
14:44
Speaker 6: American vegetarian.
14:45
Speaker 3: Yeah right, vegetarian is supposed to be you know, ninety
14:48
Speaker 3: pound weekly.
14:49
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'm I have poofy hair to take Ray
14:52
Speaker 6: Romano's defense from ice age. Speaking of ice age, I
14:56
Speaker 6: thought ice ages were coming again. We're going to have
14:58
Speaker 6: wooly mammoths and saber tooth tigers that sound like Dennis
15:02
Speaker 6: Leary again. But failing that, what is the deal with
15:05
Speaker 6: Gavin Newsom falling in love with a pipeline that I
15:08
Speaker 6: figured he would be the biggest against it. Now he's like, no,
15:11
Speaker 6: my pipeline, My pipeline, Trump can't touch it.
15:17
Speaker 3: Well, mister Newsom has political ambitions that go beyond the
15:23
Speaker 3: state of California, and I think one of the things
15:26
Speaker 3: he wants to do is project an image that puts
15:35
Speaker 3: some distance between himself and the craziness in California of
15:42
Speaker 3: which he has been a to which he has been
15:45
Speaker 3: a major contributor to his governorshiperd going all the way
15:48
Speaker 3: back to the time when he was mayor of San Francisco.
15:51
Speaker 3: I'm oh, exactly. You know, he also opposes the proposed
16:00
Speaker 3: ballot initiative that would impose a millionaire's tax in California.
16:07
Speaker 3: So what it is is attacks on wealth. Right now,
16:12
Speaker 3: it's not that he opposes attacks on wealth in principle,
16:17
Speaker 3: but he doesn't want one in California. If he were,
16:20
Speaker 3: God help us ever, in the White House, he would
16:23
Speaker 3: love to have a national tax on wealth. But it
16:29
Speaker 3: would make it would ruffle feathers if he had one,
16:32
Speaker 3: just in California, because he's going to have to run
16:36
Speaker 3: on his record in California, and he knows that that
16:41
Speaker 3: would be a tough sell in certain among certain voters, because,
16:47
Speaker 3: after all, what is wealth. Maybe it's an heirloom that
16:51
Speaker 3: you inherited.
16:53
Speaker 6: Well, it's the same thing. It's the same thing they
16:55
Speaker 6: wanted to do when they said, well, you have money
16:57
Speaker 6: you haven't invested in yet, so we want to tag
17:00
Speaker 6: to you on the money you haven't earned yet because
17:03
Speaker 6: you have these investments.
17:05
Speaker 3: Uh.
17:05
Speaker 6: And I've just man, they just are as creative. It's
17:08
Speaker 6: almost becoming like that famous old Monty Python sketch where
17:12
Speaker 6: they allude to the fact that the British government is
17:15
Speaker 6: going to get around to taxing everything else except congressional
17:19
Speaker 6: relations with your spouse or your significant other, uh or
17:24
Speaker 6: what do they call it, thingy? That's right. So and
17:27
Speaker 6: we even in Virginia we have a mattress tax. So
17:29
Speaker 6: we're halfway to taxing thingyh Yeah.
17:32
Speaker 3: We're well on our way here. Regret Yes, for us,
17:39
Speaker 3: it's California here we cut well.
17:41
Speaker 6: You know, I said this yesterday to one of our
17:43
Speaker 6: state senators. I said, you know, we're just like California,
17:46
Speaker 6: only our mountains and our beaches aren't as big and famous.
17:50
Speaker 3: Uh.
17:50
Speaker 6: And and that's really the difference right now is you know,
17:55
Speaker 6: you you have earned something and that's not fair. And
17:59
Speaker 6: that's that's something that I think we need to fight.
18:01
Speaker 6: But let's go back to the pipeline. So this pipeline
18:04
Speaker 6: is a repaired pipeline. It had burst, it had been
18:08
Speaker 6: you know, everything that the environmentalist wants. You know that
18:11
Speaker 6: they can go and say this is a great disaster,
18:15
Speaker 6: that this organic material has fallen into the water and
18:19
Speaker 6: seeps back into the ground like organic material does but
18:23
Speaker 6: at the moment it looks horrible, you know, it's on
18:25
Speaker 6: the beaches and everything. But now it's reopened again, it's
18:29
Speaker 6: been fixed, and Gavin Newsom is afraid Donald Trump's going
18:33
Speaker 6: to take it from.
18:33
Speaker 3: Him, Yes, because he's afraid that because he was largely trusted.
18:40
Speaker 3: It was entirely effort that the pipeline has reopened. And
18:47
Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom doesn't doesn't like pipelines, He doesn't like fossil fuels,
18:52
Speaker 3: and yet Trump does like fossil fuels and does Trump
18:56
Speaker 3: does want the pipeline left open. But it is Trump
19:00
Speaker 3: who made the decision to reopen this pipeline, which had
19:07
Speaker 3: an accident back in twenty fifteen. There was the nastiest bill.
19:12
Speaker 3: It was cleaned up the meantime, it has a completely
19:15
Speaker 3: different operator. The current company is not the company that
19:18
Speaker 3: owned the pipeline back when eleven years ago when it burst.
19:24
Speaker 3: And so now again Newsom is reacting against Trump's efforts
19:32
Speaker 3: successful efforts actually to reopen the pipeline. The pipeline is
19:36
Speaker 3: actually pumping oil. People. Forget California, both on land as
19:43
Speaker 3: well as at sea, has enormous deposits of oil.
19:47
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, lesser extent isn't that one of the classic
19:50
Speaker 6: images of Los Angeles as you're driving along skyscrapers and
19:54
Speaker 6: then there's a parking lot with an oil derrick in it,
19:57
Speaker 6: just you know, pumping some guys, you know, personal stock oil.
20:02
Speaker 3: In the nineteen twenties, Los Angeles County was the world's
20:08
Speaker 3: largest producer of oil, no kidding, Yes, that's right, and
20:17
Speaker 3: California remained a major producer of oil for the following
20:23
Speaker 3: decades until and this is not just Gavin news of
20:27
Speaker 3: it predates him, including Arnold Schwartzenegger, bought into the whole
20:33
Speaker 3: climate narrative and declared war on fossil fuels and in
20:39
Speaker 3: the process shut down to the extent possible because their
20:45
Speaker 3: existing contracts that they that they that local fish, state
20:48
Speaker 3: local offishers can't mess with. But California is actually still
20:54
Speaker 3: the country's eighth plarting, eighth largest oil producing won't stay
21:01
Speaker 3: that way for very long. Yeah, another Actually it could
21:04
Speaker 3: be much higher were it not for the lunatics who
21:08
Speaker 3: run the state.
21:09
Speaker 6: Well, you know, and when we look at what's going
21:11
Speaker 6: on in Iran right now and the oil and natural gas,
21:15
Speaker 6: they are the strait of horror moves. I think this
21:18
Speaker 6: is where, you know, patriotically, California should be like, hey,
21:22
Speaker 6: we're sitting on a lot of this stuff, maybe we
21:24
Speaker 6: can kick some in. Never mind the strategic oil reserve there,
21:29
Speaker 6: because it seems like the European countries and I want
21:33
Speaker 6: to investigate this in a moment, vonn are going on
21:36
Speaker 6: with us from seafact dot org the Committee for a
21:39
Speaker 6: Constructive Tomorrow. But it seems like all the European countries
21:43
Speaker 6: are fine with the Strait of horror moves being closed
21:46
Speaker 6: up and restricting the oil. It seems like they're being
21:49
Speaker 6: run by their green agenda all over again because they're like, hey,
21:53
Speaker 6: ten dollars a gallon gas, that's great, that'll keep people
21:56
Speaker 6: from driving. It seems to be what the European issue is.

Speaker 16: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National League trainer for Planet Fitness,
22:05
Speaker 16: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
22:08
Speaker 16: at least one hundred and fifty minutes of moderate aerobic
22:11
Speaker 16: activity in a week's time. But here's the thing that
22:13
Speaker 16: one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to be
22:16
Speaker 16: super intense.
22:16
Speaker 2: As a matter of.
22:17
Speaker 16: Fact, it could just be you moving your body and
22:19
Speaker 16: doing what you already love to do like exercise, and
22:22
Speaker 16: a stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right, it means
22:26
Speaker 16: also infusing your workout routines with strength training as well.

23:08
Speaker 17: and servicing the offshore wind industry, moving equipment, installing turbines,
23:13
Speaker 17: transporting crews. It's a huge opportunity and we're proud to
23:16
Speaker 17: be a part of that.

Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
24:07
Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that Kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

28:32
Speaker 6: makes sense and it's one of those Western countries. Western
28:37
Speaker 6: enclaves with oil underneath it. Bonnard Cohen visiting us from
28:43
Speaker 6: the Committee for Constructive Tomorrow. You know, our our mutual
28:50
Speaker 6: friend Chris Horner has written chapter and verse about being
28:55
Speaker 6: there when California started to come cook up with Enron,
29:00
Speaker 6: the idea of bowling blackouts and all of that to
29:04
Speaker 6: try to drive people into the idea that we better
29:07
Speaker 6: get off the oil grid. There is this whole situation
29:14
Speaker 6: in the Middle East, plus what Gavin Newsom is doing
29:17
Speaker 6: with his pipelines and trying to stand in the way
29:20
Speaker 6: of the Trump administration all going to kind of get
29:24
Speaker 6: that band, the ges and the solar cell manufacturers in
29:27
Speaker 6: China and watch all this money get pushed back into
29:31
Speaker 6: it the way Enron and GE were behind the rolling
29:35
Speaker 6: blackouts back in the beginning of the climate movement.
29:41
Speaker 3: Newsom is absolutely determined to keep California going down the
29:48
Speaker 3: road to the transition to green energy. California has currently
29:56
Speaker 3: over two hundred electric battery plants around the country around
30:04
Speaker 3: the state, with another one hundred in the pipeline. Of
30:08
Speaker 3: what these things do is they provide back up electricity
30:13
Speaker 3: for when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't
30:16
Speaker 3: shining the problem with these battery factories is they are
30:20
Speaker 3: prone to fire, and actually a more accurate way the
30:25
Speaker 3: way to put that is they're prone to explosions, including
30:28
Speaker 3: a gigantic one that took place last year in a
30:32
Speaker 3: place called Moss Landing.
30:33
Speaker 6: Oh I remember that one. Yeah, I can't believe.
30:36
Speaker 3: It was absolutely enormous, and the environmental damage from that
30:42
Speaker 3: is still very much present, with high measurements, high levels
30:48
Speaker 3: of cobalt in the agricultural soils around there, and they
30:53
Speaker 3: could stay there for as long as a century. There
30:57
Speaker 3: are also problems with human to the tons and tons
31:03
Speaker 3: of minute particles of cobalt and some other toxic metals
31:09
Speaker 3: that were put into the air. We breathe them in.
31:12
Speaker 3: You won't necessarily notice that immediately, but these things stay
31:16
Speaker 3: and the lungs over time. Now that like what's happened
31:20
Speaker 3: after nine to eleven in New.
31:22
Speaker 6: York City, Well do we call it blue lung then
31:26
Speaker 6: instead of black lung? That's right, that's right, And I'm
31:30
Speaker 6: sorry if I sound my My default is always to
31:33
Speaker 6: be far facetious with these people, because I don't believe
31:36
Speaker 6: these puffed up folks deserve anything less than the satire.
31:44
Speaker 3: But the reason is all the harm that they do well.
31:47
Speaker 6: But this is the thing so you're talking about, and
31:49
Speaker 6: I remember covering this. You may have even been on
31:52
Speaker 6: the show back when Moss point blew up that that
31:56
Speaker 6: we've made the case for so long. Batteries, I mean,
31:59
Speaker 6: these battery disposal We had one of the senators about
32:02
Speaker 6: a year ago said you would need if we went
32:05
Speaker 6: full on you know, green was the twenty thirty zero
32:10
Speaker 6: new emissions in twenty thirty. You know, the amount of
32:14
Speaker 6: batteries we would have to have is beyond the world's
32:18
Speaker 6: economy to even create to keep up with this, you know,
32:21
Speaker 6: clean air twenty thirty idea. Never mind the fact that
32:25
Speaker 6: we would need a disposal facility the size of Yucca Mountain,
32:29
Speaker 6: which is where our nuclear waste goes every year, for
32:33
Speaker 6: all these batteries that have to be taken out of
32:35
Speaker 6: commission and stored somewhere, because you can't just throw them
32:38
Speaker 6: out in the landfill.
32:41
Speaker 3: That's right, batteries along with discarded wind turbine blades, particularly
32:49
Speaker 3: the fiberglass elements, those which cannot be recycled through in
32:54
Speaker 3: the solar panels no longer.
32:57
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, mercury isn't it recycle. It's mercury, isn't it.
33:01
Speaker 6: That's good for you too, Yes, yes it is.
33:04
Speaker 3: And these things are ladened with the toxic materials and
33:09
Speaker 3: if they get if they leak and they get into
33:12
Speaker 3: the groundwater, you have enormous problems. So get the batteries,
33:18
Speaker 3: the discarded wind turbines, and the discarded solar panels, and
33:25
Speaker 3: you're talking about tens of thousands of all of those above.
33:30
Speaker 3: What are you going to do with them? Because you
33:32
Speaker 3: can't recycle this stuff, They're going to wind up in
33:35
Speaker 3: a landfill. Just think of the landfills. There's going to
33:38
Speaker 3: be little super fun sites that we're going to be
33:41
Speaker 3: putting up around the country as a result of green policies,
33:47
Speaker 3: of which we were told, well, where it's going to
33:49
Speaker 3: have clean energy. There's nothing clean about clean energy. It's
33:53
Speaker 3: environmental footprint and its potential to harm human health far
33:59
Speaker 3: exceed anything that fossil fuels could ever have done.
34:04
Speaker 6: Well, you know, I was funny. My son's an auto
34:06
Speaker 6: mechanic and we were talking about this car. I guess
34:10
Speaker 6: in the nineties, GM made a car. Uh it was
34:16
Speaker 6: it was called the e V one and it looked
34:19
Speaker 6: like a you know, a saturn of the day. But
34:22
Speaker 6: the battery it used was the same kind of battery
34:25
Speaker 6: we use in our cars now, the nickel, cadmium whatever,
34:29
Speaker 6: and and that became really you know, nobody wanted to
34:34
Speaker 6: keep pursuing it because we wanted to come up with
34:37
Speaker 6: these you know, I guess ostensibly a billion you know, uh,
34:43
Speaker 6: closed cell batteries that we use in our flashlights and everything.
34:48
Speaker 6: At what point do we refocus the environmental impact discussion
34:54
Speaker 6: onto all the batteries. I mean, you know, my recycling
34:58
Speaker 6: center here in Virginia, I have to put batteries in
35:00
Speaker 6: a separate place for it. Never mind if it's a
35:04
Speaker 6: rechargeable battery, now that's a super special place for it.
35:08
Speaker 6: I understand the idea of needing to store electricity because
35:13
Speaker 6: unlike water, you can't just keep electricity in a box.
35:18
Speaker 6: Where's the engineering on that. We seem to have gotten
35:22
Speaker 6: stuck in this idea of you know, just putting one
35:25
Speaker 6: hundred million D cell batteries underneath the car and calling
35:29
Speaker 6: ourselves geniuses.
35:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right, And the truth be told, the people
35:35
Speaker 3: pushing this agenda didn't think it through. Yes, we can
35:41
Speaker 3: come up with lots of batteries. Did anybody give serious
35:45
Speaker 3: thought to the disposal of those batteries as well as
35:52
Speaker 3: the threats that those batteries post batteries threats? If you
35:57
Speaker 3: want to see a real fire in an audibobile, every
36:02
Speaker 3: now and then you will have a fire and a
36:04
Speaker 3: gasoline powered automobile. But that's nothing compared to the fires
36:10
Speaker 3: that can break out in evse where you have little
36:15
Speaker 3: explosions that take place that require infinitely more amounts of
36:21
Speaker 3: water to extinguish, and when you've extinguished it a big deal.
36:27
Speaker 3: The car itself is throod. Yeah, totally, You've got to
36:32
Speaker 3: get another one.
36:33
Speaker 6: If you drive. The parking garages in Richmond, Virginia actually
36:38
Speaker 6: have signs they won't let you park your Chevy Vault there.
36:42
Speaker 6: That's the one that I guess is most famous for it.
36:45
Speaker 6: But there are there are parking garages all over the
36:48
Speaker 6: country that won't let you park your electric vehicles there.
36:52
Speaker 3: Oh, that's right, And they're simply protecting their properties from
36:57
Speaker 3: the from the risk of a fire that they know
37:00
Speaker 3: once it breaks out, you had a little conflagration on
37:03
Speaker 3: your hand, and that very high for the car itself
37:09
Speaker 3: be destroyed, but perhaps the whole garage and the other vehicles.
37:13
Speaker 6: Parked in there, and lord knows what an.
37:15
Speaker 3: Enormous liability on the on the garage owner.

Speaker 18: Exercise is hard. I was maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
41:03
Speaker 18: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, Type two diabetes,
41:08
Speaker 18: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year,
41:12
Speaker 18: even sadder. Most of these deaths are preventable with a
41:15
Speaker 18: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
41:22
Speaker 18: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
41:24
Speaker 18: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
41:28
Speaker 18: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
41:33
Speaker 18: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

Speaker 15: Bomb Bomb Bomb.
44:20
Speaker 6: One of the things that's in the narrative about this war,
44:26
Speaker 6: the military action in Iran, is that it's costing us
44:30
Speaker 6: more at the gas pump. And so the president's taking
44:38
Speaker 6: heat because the gas prices have gone back up, not
44:43
Speaker 6: nearly to the where they were when he took office
44:45
Speaker 6: a year and change ago, but they've gone back up.
44:48
Speaker 6: And the restrictions on ships going through the Straits of
44:54
Speaker 6: Horror moves not nearly as restrictive as we think, but
44:57
Speaker 6: it's costing more to get those ships through because of
45:01
Speaker 6: insurance going out, because there are people with missiles ready
45:04
Speaker 6: to shoot them at your oil tankers, Bonder Cohen. Since
45:07
Speaker 6: it is the Committee for Constructive Tomorrow, it's not just
45:13
Speaker 6: you know, green energy everything else, Let's talk about what
45:16
Speaker 6: I thought was fascinating is the European countries saying to
45:20
Speaker 6: the President, we don't want to help these ships get
45:23
Speaker 6: through the Strait of hor Moves. They seem to be
45:27
Speaker 6: happy with five dollars a lead gasoline. Is this, you know,
45:32
Speaker 6: the European countries falling prey to their green agenda movement
45:36
Speaker 6: again like they did ten years ago. Are you seeing that?
45:40
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, but that's how can I come
45:44
Speaker 6: any conclusion. They won't help in the Strait. They just
45:46
Speaker 6: must like ten dollars a leter gasoline petrol.
45:50
Speaker 3: Or they will be forced because they can't pay those
45:54
Speaker 3: high guess of the mprizes, they will be forced to
45:57
Speaker 3: purchase to the extent that they are going to buy
46:00
Speaker 3: new cars, they'll be forced to purchase evs. Where those
46:04
Speaker 3: evs manufactured that the vast majority of Europeans will be
46:10
Speaker 3: purchasing China, because the Chinese can turn out these things
46:15
Speaker 3: so much cheaper than the Europeans can. Even the avaulted
46:20
Speaker 3: German automobile makers have to contend with green policies that
46:26
Speaker 3: have driven up the price of electricity and all the
46:31
Speaker 3: other expenses that go into manufacturing cars, which means that
46:35
Speaker 3: they can't possibly compete with the Chinese of when it
46:39
Speaker 3: comes to evs. So if as a result of the closure,
46:44
Speaker 3: however long it lasts, of the Strait of Hormuz, European
46:49
Speaker 3: car buyers turn to evs, European automobile manufacturers are not
46:54
Speaker 3: going to benefit. Instead, Chinese will because they can undercut
46:58
Speaker 3: them on price considerably.
47:01
Speaker 6: Is that a big part of this battle? I know
47:04
Speaker 6: the president just chastened and I guess got Benjamin ett
47:07
Speaker 6: Yahu to stop targeting oil and natural gas fields.
47:13
Speaker 3: Uh.
47:13
Speaker 6: Maybe maybe the infrastructure is still on the table, but
47:16
Speaker 6: it seems like the President is very concerned about hitting
47:20
Speaker 6: refineries and pumping stations and shipping yards that ship this
47:26
Speaker 6: out of Iran. And I'm just curious your thought on
47:32
Speaker 6: what that could mean if the war ends and Iran's
47:35
Speaker 6: oil starts to make it to the open market. Yeah,
47:38
Speaker 6: it's spiked now to a great degree. But what could
47:43
Speaker 6: happen if all this new oil starts to make it
47:45
Speaker 6: into the marketplace.
47:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Trum is thinking about post war Iran,
47:54
Speaker 3: whether there will be a regime change in Toto there
47:58
Speaker 3: or at least a regume with the Malas or perhaps
48:03
Speaker 3: not so much the Mullas in control, but the current
48:07
Speaker 3: Iranian I've excuse me, Iranian security forces, including the IRGC
48:13
Speaker 3: still running the country, which I think they're the ones
48:17
Speaker 3: really running the country now. Anyway, nobody has seen the
48:20
Speaker 3: new Ayatola, and the new Ayatola may already be in
48:26
Speaker 3: Heaven with the ten thousand virgins. For all we know,
48:31
Speaker 3: the people who appear to be running the country are
48:34
Speaker 3: the military, because we can tell that there is a
48:36
Speaker 3: command and control structure still in operation there, which explains
48:42
Speaker 3: the attacks that the Iranians are carrying out on the
48:47
Speaker 3: oil and natural gas installations in the Gulf Arab States.
48:53
Speaker 3: So I think what Trump is looking at here is
48:57
Speaker 3: post war Iran, regardless of who runs the place, still
49:03
Speaker 3: could be a major contributor to global oil prices being
49:09
Speaker 3: kept in check. And that's why he's less than happy
49:14
Speaker 3: with Yahoo or who has attacked those things. Net Yahu's
49:18
Speaker 3: GOI I think here is regime change as quickly as possible.
49:23
Speaker 3: Trump's saying, yes, he would like regime change, but he's
49:28
Speaker 3: keeping his eye on the global economy because that will
49:31
Speaker 3: ultimately have consequences for what Americans paid the pump, simply
49:35
Speaker 3: because global oil prices are just that they're set at
49:39
Speaker 3: the global level in the United States, which is the
49:43
Speaker 3: world's largest producer of oil and natural gas.
49:47
Speaker 6: Yeah, and that's an important point. In bonnercohencfact dot org,
49:50
Speaker 6: John saying he's seeing five dollars and thirty cents gallon
49:55
Speaker 6: for diesel in Rutgersville. You know, it's interesting to me
50:00
Speaker 6: that every time there's a storm, attorneys general like Jay
50:04
Speaker 6: Jones here in Virginia. We call him double tap because
50:07
Speaker 6: of how he likes to debate. He'll find out who
50:11
Speaker 6: disagrees with him and put two in his head, or
50:14
Speaker 6: at least that's what he fantasizes about. You know, they
50:18
Speaker 6: want to invoke anti gouging laws as soon as there's
50:23
Speaker 6: a hurricane. And I'm actually a little bit surprised these
50:26
Speaker 6: folks haven't already done it, because I find them to
50:31
Speaker 6: be disingenuous when they do it around hurricanes and blizzards
50:36
Speaker 6: and things like that. And so they're exposing that for
50:40
Speaker 6: the fact that they don't seem to care about the
50:42
Speaker 6: price per gallon right now, you know, whether it is
50:46
Speaker 6: appropriate or not, John, you have to also remember that
50:51
Speaker 6: wherever you're getting your sheets or whatever, wherever you're buying
50:54
Speaker 6: your diesel, is charging you what it's going to cost
50:58
Speaker 6: them to replace that gallon. So what's happening in the
51:03
Speaker 6: Strait of horm Moves. The twenty percent of the world
51:06
Speaker 6: oil supply that goes through there is paying exorbitantly high
51:10
Speaker 6: insurance on those tankers right now because you have Iran
51:15
Speaker 6: out there just firing missiles. I don't even know if
51:17
Speaker 6: there's a plan. They just seem to be firing missiles.
51:20
Speaker 6: And this is this is exactly why Iran has been
51:26
Speaker 6: able to behave the way they have for forty seven years,
51:31
Speaker 6: because every time somebody says, hey, we should do something
51:34
Speaker 6: about Iran, somebody else says, but the strait of horror moves.
51:40
Speaker 6: And so I don't know if the President needs to
51:43
Speaker 6: kind of have an FDR moment about this. He has
51:48
Speaker 6: in some brief sense talked about, you know, momentary spikes
51:52
Speaker 6: and these things, but it needs to be something the
51:56
Speaker 6: American people see happening now. Venezuela's oil, that kind of
51:59
Speaker 6: thing are all going to play a role in it.
52:03
Speaker 6: I think Bob was right when he said, you know,
52:06
Speaker 6: loosening the Russian oil isn't helping. But remember the other
52:10
Speaker 6: thing about the Trump administration, or at least Trump version
52:13
Speaker 6: two point zero. Everything he does is about the next
52:18
Speaker 6: six moves, the next ten moves. What's the coalition he's
52:21
Speaker 6: trying to put together here? Is he trying to win
52:25
Speaker 6: Russia over and abandon China or is he trying to
52:28
Speaker 6: force China to abandon Russia and Iran because at the
52:34
Speaker 6: end of the day, Trump is If there's a Trump doctrine,
52:38
Speaker 6: it is the if people are trading with each other,
52:41
Speaker 6: they're not shooting at each other anyway. Will convene Saturday morning.
52:46
Speaker 6: I'm Joe Thomas, so long and thanks for all the fish.
