America’s countermodel to Europe: Energy abundance as grand strategy · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

  Hello, this is Todd Roy.
• 0:13
  Welcome to Geopower, Energy, and Real Politics.
• 0:17
  I am your host.
• 0:19
  Excited to talk to you today.
• 0:20
  We've got a lot to catch up on.
• 0:23
  What I'd like to do today is head over to Europe.
• 0:26
  We're going to throw a little bit of the State of the Union in there because obviously President Trump talks so much about energy.
• 0:32
  But what I really want to talk to you about is I want to do some real compare and contrasting here.
• 0:39
  Robert Bryce has done some fantastic work on this and has written a couple of recent pieces, one called Germany's Enemies Within and also Europe to big tech, we don't want you either, talking about how people no longer want data centers because the amount of electricity it needs, the stress it puts on the electrical grid, water supplies, versus what President Trump was talking about, where he said, hey, we're going to have big tech companies build their own power plants.
• 1:09
  He didn't say we're going to stop doing this.
• 1:11
  And you're really getting into this affordability issue, which one of my first episodes, I said, how false that is.
• 1:18
  And if you really want to look at it, there's a group called the Energy Bad Boys, Mitchell, Mitchell and Isaac Rowling, which has a great new piece out about a month ago called like blue states, high prices.
• 1:30
  Essentially, what you find is anybody who does any kind of green things, meaning we're going to get our electricity from solar panels, we're going to get it from wind turbines, we're going to use uh battery energy storage systems or best at grid scale storage and grid scale.
• 1:47
  We're going to do electric vehicles, which uses a lot more electricity, obviously.
• 1:52
  Uh, we're going to do heat pumps, we're going to uh electric heat pumps versus a water heater.
• 1:57
  We're going to electrify everything versus this ridiculous notion of not using natural gas.
• 2:05
  Um what you are finding is you are finding that these places are collapsing.
• 2:12
  Um gentlemen found out literally about eight out of 10 uh blue states have the highest electricity rates in the United States, places like California and New York.
• 2:23
  Um they're they're you know, Illinois, they're all over the place.
• 2:28
  And it what it really comes down to is these are people that go, oh, we believe in global warming, and there's a difference when you think of global warming versus climate change.
• 2:38
  Uh climate change was made up by a Republican named named Frank Munz, who's a big polster.
• 2:47
  Uh Frank Luntz, who's a polster, made it up.
• 2:50
  Um, that's a made up marketing term, a little bit like 97% of all climate scientists agree.
• 2:57
  That's not true that they the 97% agree.
• 3:01
  That's been thoroughly debunked.
• 3:04
  Um, the different studies that said this, and it's been quoted by President Obama.
• 3:08
  Well, when you think about Europe, when you think about these high electricity prices, you know, everything we can't use data centers, uh, electricity prices are so high.
• 3:19
  Well, I would counter and say, then why haven't you put more money into your electrical grid?
• 3:25
  Why have you subsidized into the trillions of dollars?
• 3:30
  Literally trillions upon trillions of dollars globally and certainly even in the United States for something that doesn't work uh reliably, a solar panel or wind turbine.
• 3:43
  Um look at what's happened up in the northeast of the United States, where some places you've had two feet, three feet of snow.
• 3:51
  Chicago, you know, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, large parts of the United States are in freezing weather, meaning also too, there's no sun.
• 4:01
  So solar panels useless.
• 4:03
  There's no wind.
• 4:05
  Because typically in these instances, you will not have high winds.
• 4:10
  And so take somewhere like a Germany, um, which we've seen, they did this thing called Inger Winden.
• 4:17
  Pardon me, I have I use no German at all.
• 4:20
  So it's like an Inger Weenan, Inger Winden, something like that.
• 4:24
  That they were going to transition away from fossil fuels.
• 4:28
  Well, what they've done is they've closed all of what are were arguably the most reliable nuclear power plants in the world.
• 4:35
  They uh decided they're going to rely on cheap Russian natural gas, which that stopped once Ukraine invaded um, or pardon me, Russia invaded Ukraine.
• 4:45
  Uh, Nord Stream, uh, the Nord Stream pipeline was blown up.
• 4:49
  Uh, Europe has said we're not going to uh bring in any more Russian gas, though they still are.
• 4:55
  That's a myth.
• 4:56
  They're still doing it, or they'll buy it from places like India, which will import, you know, Russian gas or China, and then they'll sell it to the year to the Europeans.
• 5:06
  So think about a place like Germany.
• 5:09
  Think about how crazy Germany has gotten now.
• 5:12
  Um, and most of Europe is deindustrializing.
• 5:16
  Uh, they're not having children anymore because they've bought into just worldviews and ideology, whether you want to say it's feminism or we're anti-religious, or we we don't believe in marriage anymore.
• 5:30
  And and you see really societal collapse.
• 5:32
  Now, there are there's more people in Europe than there are in the United States, but when you look at Europe, their levels of immigration in many ways can even exceed the United States.
• 5:42
  Um, you see, you can see an example of Spain recently said that over 500,000 people, mainly from like Northern Africa and the Middle East here are completely hostile to any kind of European values of human rights or equality under the law, um, religious freedom or no religion at all.
• 6:04
  Um, you know, marriage can be between uh heterosexuals or homosexuals.
• 6:10
  And you've brought in people that that don't even agree with that, what you know, whatsoever.
• 6:20
  So when you think about somewhere like Europe, there's some interesting things that have come out recently about Europe.
• 6:25
  Um they had had uh the German capital had been sabotaged by one of the worst power outages in Berlin since World War II by the Lichterfeld power plant.
• 6:40
  Um it was a cable from a bridge that spans the Teltow canal.
• 6:45
  Um, and saboteurs basically put a bomb under the bridge and it damaged more than a dozen high and medium voltage cables.
• 6:53
  Um, four days after the sabotage, a hundred thousand Berliners still did not have heat or electricity.
• 6:59
  Uh at one point people were, you know, an 83-year-old woman died from the cold.
• 7:04
  Uh, it was at 14 degrees Fahrenheit, which let's stop there.
• 7:09
  So you would have to ask yourself, and this is where I ask you as an audience.
• 7:14
  Do you think these people are doing it on purpose?
• 7:16
  Not the people, not the crazy ideological suicidal people who are blowing up things, but the very people, Angela Merkel, her government, the people who vote for, or the people in power, are you doing this on purpose that you put your whole country now to try to be on renewable energy when it's 14 degrees, no sun, no wind, and then you're having to use the dirtiest forms of a coal-fired power plant.
• 7:46
  It just makes you really go, okay.
• 7:48
  Do you people believe in this great reset or uh the great replacement?
• 7:52
  You know, the great reset is we're going to do away with capitalism.
• 7:56
  It's this idea, you know, idealistic, really based on communist ideology, communist manifesto, the writings of Marx and Lenin and Trotsky, where you are, you know, you're it you breed a society full of resentment, you collapse society.
• 8:13
  So then you have this communist feudal lord, oligarchical, big government, big business system that's in place, um, versus you know, a republic or even a parliamentary um, you know, democratic system like most places, any place that you know tries to do democracy, most of them have parliamentary systems versus a constitutional republic like the United States.
• 8:40
  But you have this crazy group that did this.
• 8:45
  Um also had the longest power outage in the German capital since the end of World War II.
• 8:51
  Uh they've even said too that the the German chamber, chambers of industry and commerce had recently released a study that found that Inger Wendy could cost the country as much as 6.5 trillion between today, 2026 and 20 uh 49.
• 9:11
  And so the group that did, you know, that did the damage, which showed this, you know, largest power adage since World War II was is an eco-anarchist outfit called Vulcan Groupie or Volcano Group.
• 9:24
  Uh, these are not the only kind of groups.
• 9:26
  So, you know, they're calling it the attack on the Teltow Canal uh power lines, but they've also claimed responsibility for 11 attacks in Berlin since 2011.
• 9:36
  Um they they attacked the Lickerfeld uh power plant, uh gas plant critical role in the Berlin power grid, this Telto uh canal attack.
• 9:50
  And of course, too, there was no securities cameras, there was no fencing, there was no no patrol systems.
• 9:56
  Um the German police have caught have caught nobody.
• 10:00
  And then, of course, too, as these people, you know, these are anarchist.
• 10:04
  They it's it's all about chaos for the sense of chaos.
• 10:08
  Nearby nursing homes and hospitals had to operate on emergency generators, uh, hotels that have put people in different hotels, restaurants, grocery stores, uh had spoiled food.
• 10:20
  But of course, people like this never think about it.
• 10:23
  They've attacked Tesla's gigafactory in March of 2024.
• 10:28
  Um, and still they have they have nobody.
• 10:33
  But when you think about these environmental idiots, it it all comes together because typically these people will vote for the US Democratic Party or the Green Party.
• 10:43
  Uh, they have this notion that it's Mother Earth.
• 10:47
  They have this notion that uh the world is uncontrollably warming.
• 10:51
  So the volcano group is only the latest of eco anarchist.
• 10:58
  Uh the UK has its version of, you know, just stop oil.
• 11:02
  Um, people will say things like, well, this was an act of self-effective defense that was needed because of greed for energy.
• 11:09
  Um Volcano Group uses the same kind of language of somebody like Earth First does as well.
• 11:16
  And so when you you think about it, so that there's like Earth First, just stop oil.
• 11:21
  Um they're all the same.
• 11:23
  They're they're they all do the same things, but it it all ties together because all of these people, they vote the same way and they do the exact same things.
• 11:33
  And then of course, um the people like the volcano group, you know, they'll say, oh, we're focused on saving the planet.
• 11:41
  And then the Wall Street Journal will say that people like this, they they think they'll blame it on Moscow.
• 11:47
  They'll they'll blame Moscow for for multitudes of reasons.
• 11:51
  You know, governments in Europe, uh they think that Russia wants to see Germany destabilized, or or they want German, you know, Putin wants Germany to be dependent on Russian energy.
• 12:03
  They actually still are.
• 12:05
  Um it's it's it's insane.
• 12:09
  Now there is some, there's some historical data on it that a book a Belgian think tank recently has reported saying that the Russian government's given upwards of 97 million dollars to NGOs whose job is just to tell EU governments, you know, stop shale gas explorations, which they have which they have done.
• 12:27
  But what you also see with places like Germany, but this is all across the EU.
• 12:32
  Their industrial output is absolutely plummeting.
• 12:35
  Um they are in an energy disaster.
• 12:38
  Somebody like uh Ionis, one of Europe's largest chemical producers has said that they are closing two of their production use units in the in the Rheinberg.
• 12:48
  This has been the heartland of the European chemical sector.
• 12:53
  Um, these closures are direct, you know, this is of crippling, you know, energy and carbon costs.
• 12:58
  Uh, this is lack of tariff protections.
• 13:01
  The CEO uh of Ionis, Stephen Dorset said.
• 13:06
  The the Financial Times has even ran a story showing that German residential prices are some of the highest in Europe.
• 13:13
  They've literally said, can anything be done to halt the decline of the German uh industry?
• 13:19
  Your stat data has shown that German consumers pay upwards of 45 cents per kilowatt hour.
• 13:27
  That's 34% above the EU average of 33, 33 cents per kilowatt, which is literally double what the average is typically of the United States.
• 13:40
  When you think about all of this, it it just makes you go, okay.
• 13:46
  So why are they doing it?
• 13:48
  Okay, why why are they doing it?
• 13:51
  Why do these people continue to make these just insane choices?
• 13:58
  Well, when you think about somewhere like, but think about Europe.
• 14:02
  Europe is now saying we have no, we do not want any data centers in our um in our country.
• 14:12
  Okay, but if you use a phone, if you use a computer, if you order it at McDonald's or you're getting a movie ticket, or the you know, you're entering an airport, all the myriad of things that we're fully, fully connected to electronic data.
• 14:32
  Where do you think that is going and where do you think it's growing?
• 14:36
  If you are not using AI in your education systems, or certainly a business, you might as well, you might as well go back to the Stone Age.
• 14:47
  So where did where do people think that all of this is going?
• 14:50
  Uh where does Europe or even a city like Denver?
• 14:55
  Or gosh, this is where it's saying, you know, Senator Josh Hawley, who doesn't want data centers to be built, or Bernie Sanders, uh, you know, two people you'd say, oh, they're diametrically opposed politically.
• 15:08
  Well, what neither one of them are willing to do is say, okay, don't you need to just go build out nuclear power plants or gas plants or build out your grid versus continuing to waste trillions of dollars on things that don't work?
• 15:22
  Uh Robert Bryce actually has something he has published called the data center rejection database.
• 15:27
  He also has something called the renewable uh energy uh database as well that that talks about rejections and and I would tell you Robert Bryce does just fantastic work.
• 15:40
  Um this is where when you think about Europe and you last week's episode, which talked about about Marco Rubio, and he was saying we want to partner with you, we want to be friends with you.
• 15:53
  Well, it makes you wonder well, how how can we be friends with you?
• 15:56
  How can we, how can we partner with you when you are going to be this way?
• 16:01
  It it almost becomes nearly impossible to um to to do that.
• 16:07
  But then you look at rejections, there's rejections in Germany, Scotland, England, Norway, Ireland, France, uh, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, multiple Netherlands, multiple Ireland, multiple United Kingdom, multiple Norway, uh, multiple times in France.
• 16:26
  What is it that people are telling me what you're looking for then?
• 16:30
  Tell me how you want to vote.
• 16:32
  Tell me how you want your your life to go.
• 16:35
  Um I do another show with Tom Harris called The Other Side of the Story.
• 16:42
  And we talked about the endangerment finding recently, which was a bachelorization of a reading of the EPA's power and clean air, clean water act, and says that CO2, carbon dioxide is a pollutant.
• 16:56
  And it's arguably caused, or maybe not arguably, the largest increase in prices, affordability, uh, since Barack Obama was president.
• 17:06
  When you look at how prices have risen uh since then, it's uncanny.
• 17:11
  Um it has to do because energy is everything.
• 17:14
  Uh people will say energy is life.
• 17:17
  I will tell you that energy is everything.
• 17:19
  You have nothing without it.
• 17:20
  Uh in today's world, you will die if you were someone that didn't have electricity beforehand.
• 17:27
  Your average lifespan was 20, 30.
• 17:31
  Uh, that typically was the average lifespan.
• 17:33
  If you don't believe me, go read uh Michael Novak's uh The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism, the introduction part of the book really talks about what life was like before capitalism, which I would tell was really life was like before the introduction of hydrocarbons, oil, kerosene, eventually natural gas, um, coal, and then nuclear.
• 17:56
  Uh you are so dependent now, but you you take this, you so you take what I'm trying to help you understand here is you take a place like Germany, a volcano group, a just stop oil, Earth First, Sierra Club, uh, Natural Resource Defense Council.
• 18:15
  They're all essentially the same.
• 18:17
  And I get it, Sierra Club would vehemently object, but I would go, you have the same goals.
• 18:24
  Uh, you want to stop growth.
• 18:26
  You really want to stop human beings from thriving.
• 18:29
  You have this belief in Gaia or Mother Earth when nothing could be farther from the truth.
• 18:35
  If honestly, if you've never gone camping before for multiple days high up in the mountains or remote areas where everything you have has to be taken on your back, or better yet, go listen to like special forces all around the world.
• 18:55
  The Germans have a group that trains high up in the mountains, or uh different Middle Eastern groups kind of led by the Israelis will train in deserts.
• 19:04
  Obviously, there's American special forces, Russian special forces, but what they'll typically do with these guys is they will take them and throw them out by themselves.
• 19:16
  Uh, I've read of some groups where literally people will be dropped off in the middle of nowhere, or they will be flown and dropped in jungles.
• 19:28
  You can't survive.
• 19:30
  I mean, these are the best of the best of the best.
• 19:35
  And they talk about barely being able to survive.
• 19:37
  They they talk about barely being able to uh get through it.
• 19:42
  Uh you'll look at when we had to invade Iraq, the amount of water bottles we had to bring over, the amount of plastic we had to bring over, the amount of goods we had to bring over, any any army.
• 19:54
  Same thing that the Russian army, the Ukrainian army right now fighting one another.
• 19:59
  And when you
• 20:00
  Think about Barack Obama and his, you know, he talked about he was going to have um uh he said this under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.
• 20:11
  President Obama San Francisco Chronicle interview in 2008.
• 20:17
  So people say this affordability issue.
• 20:20
  Well, I would tell you it all goes back to the Democratic Party, the Greens, the environmental movement outside of abortion, the killing of people.
• 20:30
  I would actually tell you the environmental movement is causing the most amount of havoc, the most amount of unaffordability.
• 20:38
  Typically, whether the U.S.
• 20:40
  Democratic Party or Greens, which will be left part leftist parties.
• 20:46
  Um they will your prices will increase for everything.
• 20:53
  So if the United States says we're having an inflation issue, no, you had an inflation issue because you allowed Joe Biden to be president of the United States versus allowing Donald Trump and inflation right now is in the two, I think around the 2.9 to 3.5% range.
• 21:08
  Um look at what how even prices were George W.
• 21:14
  Bush versus Barack Obama.
• 21:16
  Uh look what prices were Barack Obama to Donald Trump.
• 21:22
  You could say what Democrat, but wait a minute, Todd, Bill Clinton balanced the budget.
• 21:26
  He did that with We did that with a conservative Newt Gingrich Congress.
• 21:30
  And he was really kind of pushed to do that, but you could also say in some ways that Bill Clinton was a conservative um Democrat.
• 21:40
  Uh, in some ways you would call Bill Clinton a Republican now.
• 21:45
  Outside of his uh social issues.
• 21:51
  There is a difference.
• 21:53
  I talked about it last week or a Democrat and Republican.
• 21:56
  There is a difference.
• 21:57
  Let me give you some other things to think about this.
• 22:02
  David Blackman, who I absolutely love, had a great piece that says, EU elite's private jet spur splurge proves their climate emergency is nothing but a griff.
• 22:12
  God bless you, David.
• 22:14
  Talks about according to Politico, the European Commission, Parliament.
• 22:18
  Council and External Action Service Services have budgeted up to 16 million for non-scheduled air taxi transfer services over the next four years, which is five million more than the previous three-year contract.
• 22:33
  Their excuse, it's what we're talking about is private planes.
• 22:36
  They're saying, oh, geopolitical uh volatility and the need for short notice travel, blah, blah, blah.
• 22:43
  In other words, our schedules are so important.
• 22:45
  He says our schedules are so important, our security too precious.
• 22:49
  And our time too valuable to fly commercial, like the peasants were taxing into energy poverty.
• 22:55
  You have a choice, folks.
• 22:57
  We absolutely have a choice.
• 23:02
  And anybody who says we don't is insane.
• 23:06
  Um let me tell the real choice coming up is gonna be Gavin Newsom.
• 23:12
  All six foot three, slick back hair, cheated on his first wife with uh a close uh you know snapper.
• 23:19
  He cheated on his wife with that man's wife.
• 23:23
  Never really apologized for it, really got away for it, comes from a grossly wealthy family, is truly a one percenter, is related to Nancy Pelosi.
• 23:36
  And um The Wall Street Journal recently just said about Gavin Newsom, talked about his catastrophic energy climate policies, which the the headline was Newsom's climate policy backspires.
• 23:49
  And they just tell him, they say his relentless regulatory assault on California's oil refineries is delivering higher energy costs, your jobs, greater dependence on foreign fuel, and the incredible irony of that they have even more CO2 emissions.
• 24:04
  Now you could say, but Todd, you just said the endangerment finding.
• 24:07
  That doesn't mean that people like him are still not believing it, and still not saying that CO2, which is plant food, is a pollutant.
• 24:16
  Here's some some things for Californians, and you always want to go, folks.
• 24:20
  Remember, when you were voting for this, you were voting for people like the volcano group that uh Robert Bryce has talked about.
• 24:27
  Uh, just stop oil, Sierra Club, National Resource Defense Council, uh, extinction rebellion, people that think all humans should die.
• 24:36
  Since since Gavin Newsom became the governor in 2019, California has lost roughly 25% of its total refinery capacity.
• 24:44
  Uh go read Doomberg on this.
• 24:48
  I highly recommend you subscribe to him.
• 24:50
  He's written about this.
• 24:52
  That's a quarter of the infrastructure that turns crude in California into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel that power the state's economy, military bases, national security, forts, and other surrounding states that rely on them.
• 25:07
  Um just this month, Philip 66 announced it's laying off 277 workers as at its Los Angeles refineries.
• 25:14
  It winds winds down operations there.
• 25:16
  Belero Energy is set to shutter its northern California refinery this spring, throwing hundreds more Californians out of work.
• 25:24
  You have to really ask yourself if people like this, this elite of elite, this democratic billionaire class, they want California to collapse because that means they're in control.
• 25:35
  Remember, I've talked about this before, and I'll say it again.
• 25:39
  What the U.S.
• 25:40
  Democratic Party wants is they want chaos.
• 25:43
  They want to collapse the country because they will control it like feudal lords.
• 25:48
  And that's what they believe uh themselves to be.
• 25:51
  Okay, I've got to take a break.
• 25:53
  I'm gonna come back.
• 25:54
  I'm gonna wrap, we're gonna second half, we're gonna I'm gonna hit this even harder and keep giving more and more examples.
• 26:00
  How energy, you've got a choice, and we're gonna talk about the state of the union.
• 26:05
  I am Todd Royal.
• 26:06
  I'm the host of Geopower, Energy, and Real Politics.
• 26:10

  Feeling the strain of rising costs, one of the biggest defenders isn't gas or groceries, it's health care.
• 27:08

  Hello, America.
• 31:37
  This is Del Wilburn, inviting you to take a two-minute stroll through history on America out loud.
• 31:43
  July 7th, 1976.
• 31:45
  For the first time in history, women are enrolled into the United States Military Academy at West Point.
• 31:51
  On May 28th, 1980, 62 of these female cadets graduated and were commissioned as second lieutenants.
• 31:57
  The United States Military Academy, the first military school in America, was founded by Congress in 1802 for the purpose of educating and training young men in the theory and practice of military science.
• 32:10
  Established at West Point, New York, the U.S.
• 32:12
  Military Academy is often simply known as West Point.
• 32:16
  Located on the high west bank of New York's Hudson River, West Point was the site of a revolutionary era fort built to protect the Hudson River Valley from British attack.
• 32:27
  Ten years after the establishment of the U.S.
• 32:30
  Military Academy in 1802, the growing threat of another war with Great Britain resulted in congressional action to expand the Academy's facilities and increase the West Point Corps.
• 32:41
  Beginning in 1817, the U.S.
• 32:43
  Military Academy was reorganized by Superintendent Sylvanus Thayer, later known as the father of West Point, and school became one of the nation's finest sources of civil engineers.
• 32:54
  In 1877, Henry Flipper became the first African American graduate of the U.S.
• 33:00
  Military Academy.
• 33:01
  The Academy is now under the general direction and supervision of the Department of the U.S.
• 33:06
  Army and has an enrollment of more than 4,000 students.
• 33:10
  This is Dell Wilbur, inviting you to join me again as we celebrate history on America out loud.

  This is Del Wilbur inviting you to join me as we take a two-minute stroll through history on America out loud.
• 33:45
  September 30th, 1889.
• 33:47
  The Wyoming State Convention approves a constitution that includes a provision granting women the right to vote.
• 33:54
  Formerly admitted into the union the following year, Wyoming thus became the first state in the history of the nation to allow its female citizens to vote.
• 34:03
  That the isolated Western state of Wyoming should be the first to accept women's suffrage was a surprise.
• 34:08
  Leading suffragists like Susan B.
• 34:10
  Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were Easterners, and they assumed that their more progressive home states would be among the first to respond to the campaign for women's suffrage.
• 34:20
  Yet the people and politicians of the growing number of new Western states proved far more supportive than those in the East.
• 34:27
  In 1848, the legislature in Washington territory became the first to introduce a woman's suffrage bill.
• 34:34
  Though the Washington bill was narrowly defeated, similar legislation succeeded elsewhere, and Wyoming territory was the first to give women the vote in 1869, quickly followed by Utah Territory in 1870 and Washington territory in 1883.
• 34:49
  As with Wyoming, when these territories became states, they preserved women's suffrage.
• 34:54
  By 1914, the contrast between East and West had become striking.
• 34:58
  All of the states west of the Rockies had women's suffrage, while no state did east of the Rockies except Kansas.
• 35:04
  Why the regional distinction?
• 35:06
  Some historians suggest Western men may have been rewarding pioneer women for their critical role in settling the West.
• 35:13
  Others argue the West had a more egalitarian spirit, or that the scarcity of women in some Western regions made men more appreciative of the women who were there while hoping the vote might attract more.
• 35:23
  While the old West is usually thought of as a man's world, a wild land that was no place for a woman, Westerners proved far more willing to create states where women were welcomed as equal citizens.
• 35:33
  This is Del Wilbur inviting you to join me again as we celebrate history on America Out Loud.
• 35:48
  Every day it becomes more apparent that American education has been under assault for decades.
• 35:54
  Because everything in culture is downstream of education.
• 36:03
  Through racist propaganda and gender ideology.
• 36:06
  But there's hope.

  Join me weekdays at 2 p.m.

  Now is our time, my fellow Americans.
• 37:05
  America Outloud.news, Liberty, and Justice for All.
• 37:21
  And we are back.
• 37:23
  I'm Todd Loyle.
• 37:24
  I'm your host of Geopower, Energy, and Geopolitics.
• 37:30
  We ended with what Gavin Newson has done to California.
• 37:33
  Well, there's more of this.
• 37:35
  And there's really a difference.
• 37:38
  There's a map that's been produced by Orinia.
• 37:42
  Uh and the sources of the U.S.
• 37:44
  Energy uh U.S.
• 37:45
  Energy Information Administration and the Natural Resources of Canada.
• 37:49
  And it talks about natural gas production.
• 37:52
  And it's, you know, Texas leads the nation.
• 37:54
  But then you have places like Pennsylvania and New Mexico.
• 37:58
  Um that are Louisiana, Oklahoma.
• 38:02
  Uh you see it with Ohio, uh, West Virginia places that are that are also making significant contributions.
• 38:10
  Um but what you've seen is that America has become a natural house, a natural gas gigapour.
• 38:18
  Um all you can say is that you look at somewhere like California that's not using any of the resources versus Texas.
• 38:30
  Even New Mexico, which is a liberal Democrat state.
• 38:34
  People say it's purple, but unfortunately, you've got Albuquerque and Santa Fe, which you have people, this Gaia, Mother Earth worship, global warming, climate change people, and they vote Democrat.
• 38:47
  And the last uh Deb Harlan, who is the leader in the Biden administration, the Secretary of the Department of Interior did more to set back uh America as much as any Secretary of the Executive Branch has done in a long time.
• 39:06
  Outside of probably John Kerry as Secretary of State and some of his uh various executive uh machinations.
• 39:15
  Former Secretary Harlan, and she was a congresswoman is just about as incompetent and grossly ideological as anyone you're ever gonna meet.
• 39:25
  But we will put this map up that shows you uh what natural gas is doing, and it's just beautiful.
• 39:34
  So you need before a gentleman named Andrew Corib or Ribco.
• 39:40
  Andrew does some of the best work out here.
• 39:43
  And he publishes multiple times a day, some of the best work on geopolitics, uh energy and really anybody you're going to meet.
• 39:55
  I can't say enough good things about Andrew.
• 40:00
  And highly say that you you read his work.
• 40:04
  He's got a piece that talks about the Brits and French want Ukraine to go nuclear out of desperation to hold on to the Donbass.
• 40:11
  Well, my first question is is anybody even know what the Donbass is?
• 40:16
  Of course not.
• 40:17
  Do you know where it's located?
• 40:20
  Um get out of the Donbass.
• 40:23
  And they want him to go nuclear.
• 40:28
  Nuclear.
• 40:30
  These are the same people that have no energy.
• 40:34
  These are the same people which are vassals of the United States.
• 40:39
  These are the same people, the Brits who are arguably highest electricity prices in the world now, or the French who have such massive immigration problems.
• 40:49
  Go look at what's happened to the Eiffel Tower.
• 40:53
  There's large parts of Paris you cannot go into anymore because they're controlled by radical Muslims.
• 41:02
  McCrone, Starmer, these are deeply unpopular leaders that how they hold on to power is beyond me.
• 41:11
  How they are not expelled, kicked out.
• 41:15
  Their countries are literally dying.
• 41:18
  The French make claims of they're they're going to raise armies, they're going to send they talk like it's Napoleon again.
• 41:26
  The Brits talk like they're the British Empire.
• 41:29
  These I could say, at least with the French, they've got their nuclear power plants.
• 41:38
  Go to places outside of London.
• 41:40
  Go look how expensive London is.
• 41:42
  Go look at the ridiculous this coming together of Islam with communism and leftism and environmentalism.
• 41:52
  The mayor of London, the mayor of New York, I mean, look at what they're doing.
• 41:58
  What the warning is to Christians, you people better wake up.
• 42:03
  Muslims are not stopping.
• 42:05
  They are going for positions of power.
• 42:07
  Leftists are going for positions of power.
• 42:10
  Communist environmentalists, they all understand one thing, and that is gross raw power.
• 42:17
  And they are going to take it, look at the new governor of Virginia, they will lie, steal and kill and do whatever they have to do to get power.
• 42:28
  I would tell all of you to wake up.
• 42:30
  And if you think the Europeans, if the Europeans go nuclear on the Russians and the Russians retaliate, oil hits 500, $800, $800 a barrel.
• 43:00
  Then they're talking about Ukraine, along with Westerners that support them, want to try to blow up Russia's Black Sea pipelines, the ones that are heading to Turkey.
• 43:13
  Where do the Europeans think they're going to get their natural gas?
• 43:17
  The Europeans in the BP statistical review of world energy, or it's no longer BP, pardon me.
• 43:24
  It's just this the statistical review of world energy.
• 43:27
  They break out it now, kind of the Bible of energy.
• 43:31
  They break out European um energy now.
• 43:36
  Essentially, the Europeans produce what's called exajules, about six exajoules of energy, meaning what they drill, uh, what comes out of a solar panel, geothermal, hydroelectric dams, coal, oil, and natural gas versus what they use in all forms, total energy, total energy use, manufacturing, transportation, electricity, and other uses.
• 44:05
  It's like a 30 to almost 40x difference.
• 44:13
  Negative.
• 44:15
  How in the world do they think they're going to blow up these pipelines?
• 44:18
  At what point do they think they could stop the Russians?
• 44:23
  At what point do they think they could?
• 44:27
  Again, Andrew uh Corb Korbko's is his work fantastic.
• 44:32
  He's got something about this called why might Ukrainians, Western patrons try to blow up Russia's Black Sea pipelines.
• 44:39
  I would beg them not to because they can't.
• 44:44
  But David Blackman, Bill Gates, you know, he's come out, he's come out essentially against climate change, and we've now learned uh what's happened to him with the Epstein files.
• 44:54
  He possibly gave his ex-wife at a sexually transmitted disease from possibly a Russian girl that he had slept with.
• 45:02
  Those are the allegations.
• 45:05
  But we were told for years, uh, you know, the cult, the the climate cult, the volcano group, you know, the beef, the beef cattle is public enemy number one, that cow burps and cow uh flatulations.
• 45:20
  These are things that are melting the polar ice caps, and they must be taxed and regulated and replaced by lab-grown meats and flowers and things that are made out of crickets and all sorts of chemicals.
• 45:33
  Um gosh, even New Zealand and their former, she's really a lunatic.
• 45:39
  He used to be their prime minister.
• 45:40
  Uh, want to put a burp tax on farmers.
• 45:44
  Uh, California, the EU, they've also pushed this nonsense.
• 45:48
  But the one who preached it most consistently was Bill Gates.
• 45:50
  And what does this mean when I bring something like this up?
• 45:54
  What does that mean about Germany?
• 45:56
  What does that mean about the state of the Union?
• 45:57
  What does that mean about California or blowing things up and Ukraine going nuclear or blowing up pipelines?
• 46:07
  Because it's all part of the the not looking at reality, not looking at if you want the world to work.
• 46:18
  Here's how it really works.
• 46:20
  Um, you cannot go to war unless you have energy.
• 46:24
  You cannot sit there and shut down your refineries and think that your economy is going to grow.
• 46:30
  And if you America allow this guy to cheat his way into office or elect him, the same thing isn't going to happen.
• 46:37
  You cannot allow environmental groups to blow up power plants and bridges and power lines and think that you're your um economy is not going to go into chaos.
• 46:49
  For good people, I would tell you, you find those people and you make sure it never happens again.
• 46:57
  You stop voting for the gabin newsoms of the world.
• 47:00
  Stop believing that the U.S.
• 47:01
  Democratic Party, or I read something that, oh, the governor of Pennsylvania, you know, a lot of Republicans like him.
• 47:09
  Go look at his energy policies.
• 47:11
  He believes in uh cap and trade.
• 47:14
  Cap and trade has never been shown to lower emissions, never been shown to clean up pollution, never been shown to grow your economy, uh, or the environment, uh, environment environmental stewardship over sustainability is what I what I would argue for.
• 47:35
  Never been shown to do that.
• 47:37
  And yet people go, oh, we'll we'll vote for this guy.
• 47:39
  Well, then you're gonna vote, you're gonna get what you vote for.
• 47:43
  Or look at a guy like Bill Gates.
• 47:45
  You know, he even wrote a book called How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.
• 47:49
  Yet this past year, already in 26.
• 47:52
  Well, it's it's before, you know, top 30.
• 47:56
  Oh, you know, it's okay.
• 47:59
  It's it's a it's okay.
• 48:01
  What it really shows you, and this is a guy that you know, he's he's heavily, you know, he's invested heavily in plant-based and sell curl cultured meat companies like Beyond Meat, Impossible Foods, Upside Foods.
• 48:13
  He he'll back startups that develop, you know, methane reducing feed additives, that's called fertilizer, uh, seaweed supplements and even vaccines to curb cow burps.
• 48:27
  I I just shake my head.
• 48:29
  That's all I can do is absolutely shake my head.
• 48:35
  It's all it's all together.
• 48:37
  And let me then when you really look up and you go, okay, I have said before that I'm a nuclear power person.
• 48:48
  Yet these people will absolutely, and I mean absolutely go against nuclear power.
• 48:54
  Oh my gosh, it's it's so harmful.
• 48:57
  Oh, it's done this, it's done that.
• 48:59
  Challenge me on this.
• 49:01
  Nuclear power is the safest form of energy.
• 49:04
  More people, you can find studies, valid studies that say more people had died from from wind turbines and solar panels than have from a nuclear power plant.
• 49:15
  We know the fallout from Chernobyl.
• 49:18
  We know it from Fukushima, we know it from Three Mile Island.
• 49:22
  You know why you know nuclear is safe?
• 49:26
  We can talk about the demand data centers are producing the brand new onshoring of manufacturing, the that you know, President Trump's gotten 15 trillion dollars pledged to come to the United States, and even if a third of that came in, that'd be $3 trillion worth of new investments.
• 49:44
  We can talk about um, you know, electrification, you know, heat pumps and electric vehicles.
• 49:53
  There's just more demand for electricity.
• 49:55
  Some of that is growth, and some of that is in environmental nonsense.
• 50:00
  Yet these very same, these very same people will say they don't want to use a nuclear power plant because it isn't safe yet.
• 50:08
  Think about Three Ma Island.
• 50:11
  That meltdown occurred because of human error, which has been, which has been repaired.
• 50:18
  They go through the most rigorous training of any energy system in the world, nuclear power does.
• 50:26
  But the reactor that that is shut down, the reactor next to it is opening up.
• 50:33
  So if it's so unsafe, why in the world are you going to open up a reactor next to it, a reactor that was shut down?
• 50:43
  Someone could say to me, well, Todd, that's because we're desperate for power.
• 50:47
  Okay.
• 50:48
  Okay, I'll give you that.
• 50:51
  But you you typically aren't reopening coal-fired power plants that have been shut down, or natural gas plants that have been shut down, or digging up uh wind turbine blades that are sitting in landfills, or the same thing with old solar panels.
• 51:08
  But yet a reactor that had been shut down since the late 70s is getting reopened and is supposed to reopen here in the next one to two years.
• 51:17
  But yet I'm supposed to be, you know, I'm supposed to believe that this is the most unsafe form of energy around there, and that people like the Union of Concerned Scientists will fight it.
• 51:28
  Those aren't scientists, those are ideologues.
• 51:31
  Um it's not nuclear waste.
• 51:34
  It's spent fuel.
• 51:35
  95% of the uranium, the fuel of it can still be used.
• 51:39
  Um, in what's called a fast-free reactor.
• 51:41
  There's there's companies all around the world in the U.S.
• 51:44
  that are trying to find ways to recycle it, new new conversion techniques.
• 51:50
  So please don't, please don't ever say to me, um, and I'm sure there's some lovely people in the Union of Concerned Scientists, but every time there's a new nuclear power plant, they'll always be quoted by the media, which is always so false, and it's all such a lie.
• 52:05
  Because you just look up and go, but you're lying.
• 52:10
  Why would you open up a power plant that has been shut down and is right next to the one that is contained and did suffer meltdown?
• 52:21
  And I'm being very simplistic.
• 52:26
  But that's why I say when you look at all of this in totality.
• 52:31
  When you think about President Trump's State of the Union, when you think about what's going on in Germany, France, Ukraine, Russia, the Gavin Newsoms of the world, who is the presumptive democratic nominee to run for president in 2028.
• 52:45
  The man's rarely in the state anymore.
• 52:49
  There's a through line here.
• 52:51
  And that through line is energy.
• 52:53
  Energy means everything.
• 52:55
  Energy is life.
• 52:56
  Energy, uh energy is geopower.
• 52:58
  Energy is real politics.
• 53:01
  I would argue to you that uh the volcano group is practicing some of the most real politics around.
• 53:09
  Uh you know, real politics or real politics, the politics of reality.
• 53:15
  They are practicing the politics of fear, force.
• 53:20
  Uh, I wouldn't be surprised.
• 53:21
  They try to kill you, harm you, follow you, go after your family.
• 53:27
  They understand one thing, which is force.
• 53:32
  Something that I've spoken about publicly before and even written about, is the great lesson to me about World War II, as in it relates to this, is that World War II proves you can solve any problem.
• 53:45
  Now, someone go, oh, but we haven't cured cancer.
• 53:49
  I think we're going to get there.
• 53:51
  But I'm talking about the the problems that occur between people and nations.
• 53:57
  You can solve those problems.
• 53:59
  You absolutely can.
• 54:02
  And what I mean by that is you can, when nations decide they're going to go to total war, or when you're going to say you're going to stop doing this.
• 54:14
  Um the Nazi problem, the Imperial Japanese problem, both those together were solved within within roughly five years.
• 54:25
  Typically, human beings, it's been said that we change about every five years.
• 54:28
  So in five years, the world was under absolute tyranny.
• 54:32
  If you're a religious person, you could think, okay, was this the mark of the beast?
• 54:36
