  Speaker 1: of free market technological solutions to energy and environmental challenges. Peter,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. How are you, sir?

• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Good to be on. Yesterday we highlighted Joe Biden's efforts
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to leave a lasting mark if you will damaging our country.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Let me first ask you before we get into the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: nuts and bolts of that, Peter, who do you think
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: is really making these decisions? Because Joe Biden just puts
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: his signature on it, and someone may very well be
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: moving his hand for all I know. But who do
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: you think is really authoring these policies? Is this Barack Obama?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Are these baroxick of fans? Who's behind this?
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I think the baroxick of fans is an app description
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: what the Democratic Party has become in the twenty twenties
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: and progressively unintended throughout the century. The first quarter of
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: this century is they become a much more hard left
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Marxist Party, and Joe Biden made a deal with this
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: devil to be the moderate face the fay Cave to
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: be elected, he and of course Missus Biden, to occupy
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the White House, to be president, to have all the perks,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: and to do whatever this party had become, to implement
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: whatever it is they have become, and that is a
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: much more left wing party now. Joe Biden's career, which
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: of course spans from Nixon's re election in nineteen seventy two,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: that's Biden's first election to the Senate, he was always
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: in the middle of where the party was, whether it
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: was a uh you know, dominated by by Southern Democrats
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: who were the chairman still at the time of the
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Senate Committees, where it became a kind of more law
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and order, more centrist party under Bill Clinton in the nineties,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: to now this far left, progressive radical group, that's what
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: he is. And he has no he has no compass whatsoever,
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: he has no principles, and so he just went with
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it and it got him the presidency because again he
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: was this moderate face, this exterior charm that prevailed and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: made all kinds of promises that they never meant. So
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: he's been there. He's been there, fakid as they implement
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: all this stuff right till the time they leave.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Tell me this we got We got about two minutes
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: before we take a quick break. What does this executive
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: order do in practicality.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: It shuts off unless it's reversed. This executive order involving
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: the offshore offshore oil exploration. Yeah, it puts a it
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: makes it untouchable. And you know, we have to grow
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: our economy. We need affordable energy, period, end of story.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: It's what drove the worst inflation in the late seventies,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: the cost of energy. It and it's and we have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to tame inflation by lowering the price of energy and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: making America more competitive in the global marketplace. So you
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: have to expand our reach, our resources. And there's this
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: vast six and twenty five million acres is a third
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: of the land masks of the United States. You put
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that all off limits with this ancient law, and that's
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: got to be reversed. It can be, but it's not
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: as simple as it sounds.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to get to that next. Peter Murphy
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: with me, he's a senior fellow with ce fact we're
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: talking about Joe Biden. I mean, why not end the
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: way he came in day one he killed the Keystone
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: XL pipeline and put us on an IV with everybody
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: who hates us to find the energy, the sources of
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: energy that we need and then move this to this ridiculous,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: untenable ev nonsense. Back with Peter Murphy. Peter, we were
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: talking about this executive order. Now, I would immediately come
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to the conclusion that, look, this is going to get
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: reversed on January twenty at the moment Donald Trump takes office.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: You mentioned it might not be that easy.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: Well, the law is not clear that a president can
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: reverse it. The law is clear that you can put
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: imposed conservation or in the name of conservation, you can
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: impose off limits to development. It's not clear that you
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: can reverse that in the law. So that has to
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: be tested in the courts. Donald Trump should not assume
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: anything other than he can reverse it. I mean, you
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: know he needs to, and I'm sure he will act
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to reverse it. Then there'll be a lawsuit. The Greens
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: will bring a lawsuit, of course, and the courts will
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: be tested by this. Now, but this goes to show this,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: you know, in the modern era. I mean, I guess
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: back in the day when this law was put in place,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you don't anticipate presidents abusing it, right, this is an
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: abuse of this law, and especially when you're the lamest
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: of lame ducks, you're actually leaving office in ten days,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and so you're going to act this way. I mean,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: it's a really disgraceful approach. And that's certainly not what
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Congress had intended. Nor has it been acted on this
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: way for seventy years. It's been in existence, and so
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: so the courts may recognize that abuse of it. But
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: this goes to a long standing problem of the Congress
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: city the United States is they don't make laws specific enough.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: They leave too much discretion to the executive branch, and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: which is now scores of agencies and unelected bureaucrats who
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: are interpreting things. Now, the courts rolled some of that back.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: The agency's ability to interpret laws or reinterpret them is
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: the key. The courts did roll that power back somewhat
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: in this last session, but nonetheless, Congress needs to be
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: more specific in the laws that they pass. And if
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: the law, if a new circumstances arise, then you go
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: back to Congress and you change the law. I mean,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: that's how it should be. And this is a result
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: of just decades of Congress being very vague and leaving
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: too much discretion to the executive branch, which is now
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: comprised not so much of the president's people as these
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: lifelong bureaucrats who have their own agenda.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I was going to ask you, Peter, in closing as
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: many things as you and I could point to and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: absolutely agree on that Joe Biden his administration and I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: call it the O Biden administration, have done to damage
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: hurt this country. Couldn't you argue the real lasting legacy
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: is what you just defined, This ability to dig in
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and find ways to take legislation and twist it.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Well, progressivism as they practice it, and this really began
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: under Woodrow Wilson, or even to be fair of Teddy Roosevelt. Yeah,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: they are not governed by law. They are governed by
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: their own agenda, which they view is higher than law.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: More important, there's a moral superiority to their agenda. And
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: the laws are for basically for the other side, not
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: for them, because this is the this is their religion
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: in effect, and the lasting legacy, you know, they're using
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: this clawlimate issue, which is so manufactured and fake and unscientific,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: to do whatever they want. You have not a few
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Democrats in Congress who want a climate emergency quote unquote
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: climate emergency like a COVID emergency that gives untrammeled power
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: to the executive ranch. Now they're not going to want
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: it now, but when Biden was in office, Chuck Schumer,
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Jeff murkand of Oregon, many others, we're calling for climate emergency.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: This is a dangerous time for because progressimism is not
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: bound by laws and constitutional principles. They will do what
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: they want until someone can stop them. That's their mentality,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and it's a dangerous one going forward if they should
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: get back into power.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Peter, thank you. I appreciate your insight and expertise and
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: look forward to having you back on the show sometime.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Thank you, sir.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Preston, appreciate it.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Peter Murphy with us from c fact. There you go.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I thought it was as easy as putting your signature
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: to it. Not so much. That's a very important clarification.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: But he's so they just weasele in there and say,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: oh wait a minute, we can do this. With that law,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: we can do that, and he's right. It's due as
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: we say, not as we do. Absolutely positively, that's the
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: progressive mantra.
