"If Solar Doesn't Work in the Desert..." (Monday September 29, 2025, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:03
Speaker 1: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the tunk Median Edwards.
0:08
Speaker 2: Your words at steal metem a day.
0:13
Speaker 3: At least for work when the sun comes up, drops
0:15
a kid to schools.
0:20
Speaker 2: All the treasures needs no one that Joe's an smith.
0:25
Speaker 4: He only see.
0:30
Speaker 5: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
0:33
you this Monday. Too frequently we gather on these Mondays
0:40
trying to grasp and grapple with tragedy again, striking and
0:45
grabbing the national news attention. Amongst all the other instances
0:49
around the country where people were injured, killed, families devastated
0:56
over the weekend, this one because it was is uh
1:01
again a mass injury incident involving firearms. The press is
1:10
picked up on this and is running with it like
1:13
a dog that just caught the tennis ball and has
1:16
decided it's not bringing it back to you. This text
1:21
message comes into four three, four eight eight two four
1:24
two one seven. Joe, what about the aspect of the
1:28
fact that the shooter was a veteran? Well, I know
1:35
an awful lot of Marines, and I don't see anything
1:38
in their training that says, go shoot up a church,
1:46
and so there's something that knocked this guy's last good
1:49
marble out of his hand. It could be something as
1:55
simple as somebody in the church that he had a
1:57
beef with. I mean, it's horrific to think that we
2:02
always want to find the dog that's speaking to the
2:07
mass shooter, telling him to do horrible things in his
2:11
tortured and tormented mind, because we can't. We can't fathom
2:16
the idea that this be something just as mundane as
2:19
somebody who had all he could stand of somebody in
2:23
the church. Perhaps he had been promised something, Perhaps he
2:26
felt like he had been left waiting. Interestingly, in the
2:33
nearly twenty four hours since the shooting took place, nobody
2:36
can ascertain, and nobody in the press seems to want
2:39
to ascertain whether or not this shooter. I mean, we
2:42
know his military record, we know how many kids he has.
2:45
You know a kid had an illness. Can somebody let
2:49
me know whether this guy was a member of the
2:53
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. I mean,
2:58
you know, I am no journalist. I'm much better at
3:04
analyzing the news as it happens, but sometimes that leaves
3:07
you with questions unanswered. And I have been scouring the
3:10
information to find out anything about whether this guy was
3:14
even a member of this church and what connected him
3:16
to it. They don't seem interested in that. They seem
3:19
interested in telling you that it was the gun that
3:22
made him do it, even though it was his pickup
3:25
truck that actually started the whole affair by pushing through
3:28
the door of the church. So we began our first
3:33
things this morning there in Michigan, where families are still
3:39
grappling and crews are still searching the debris and the
3:43
rubble left over after fire was set in the Church
3:47
of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints Chapel in Ground
3:53
Blanc Township, Michigan. Four people currently reported dead eight others injured. However,
4:00
the authorities are still searching because there are missing persons.
4:07
They do know that there were two American flags in
4:10
the bed of the pickup truck he drove through the
4:13
door of the church. The shooter then engaged police as
4:18
he tried to flee the scene and was killed by
4:22
law enforcement. President Trump has called leaders of both the
4:27
House and Senate Democrats and Republicans alike to the Oval
4:31
Office for a sit down after the weekend. So Senate
4:34
Democrats reject a short term funding bill because they want
4:38
money added back to Medicare for non citizens. President Trump
4:45
is also getting ready to head to Quantigo on Tuesday
4:49
to attend the all hands gathering of military commanders called
4:54
by Secretary of War Pete Hegsith at Marine Corps based Quantico.
4:59
On Tuesday, the President announced over social media that the
5:05
FBI placed two hundred and seventy four agents in the
5:11
crowd just prior to and during the January sixth riots.
5:16
This is different, the President writes, from what Director Christopher
5:20
Ray stated over and over again. That's right, as it
5:24
now turns out, FBI agents were at and in the
5:27
January sixth protests, probably acting as agitators or insurrectionists. President
5:35
also announced they'll be sending National Guards troops to Portland
5:40
to help defend ICE offices there to have been under
5:44
siege from Antifa activists for weeks. Russia unleashed a barrage
5:51
of drones and missiles into Kiev. Twenty one people were
5:56
killed last month in an attack. This one is killed
6:02
at least four, including a twelve year old, according to
6:05
Ukrainian authorities. South Korea and the United States will meet
6:10
for a work group on visas systems. Later this month,
6:15
they'll meet in Georgia and the President of Vladimir Zelenski,
6:23
announced that Ukraine has received a ninety billion dollar arms
6:27
agreement with the United States. Those are our first things
6:31

8:08
Speaker 7: Yes?
8:08
Speaker 4: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch and nitric
8:13
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

8:28
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:32

precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

9:37
and from breast cancer, traffic accidents.
9:39
Speaker 2: Or AIDS.
9:41
Speaker 9: Vaccines like the one for new maccle disease can protect
9:43
adults from illnesses that can cause mistays of work, hospitalization,
9:48
and even death. New macaccle disease is an infection that
9:51
can lead to pneumonia, meningitis, or even a severe blood infection.
9:55
That's just one example of an infection that can spread
9:58
from person to person. Getting vaccinated can help protect you
10:02
and those close to you. I'm doctor Susan Reem of
10:05
the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When I speak with
10:09
my patients, I urge them to get all their recommended vaccines. Now,
10:12
I'm urging you to speak with your doctor to find
10:15
out which vaccines you need. For more information about the

Speaker 5: It's on.
13:13
Speaker 1: Provance, First thing today on the Talk Media Network by
13:18
Joe Thomas, the second most famous Thomas in Charlotte'smith.
13:32
Speaker 5: I didn't expect that finger about Okay, whatever works for
13:35
you four three four eight eight two four two one
13:38
seven uh. I think you know, if you're an habitual
13:41
user of this program, you've probably heard me refer to.
13:45
One of the biggest problems I have in this whole
13:49
Donnybrook over Ukraine and Russia is how the US military
13:54
industrial complex is using it as sort of a money
13:57
laundering scheme so they can use monies that were not
14:01
allocated to buy weapon systems to buy weapons systems by
14:05
sending it through Ukraine. So send the money that the
14:09
Ukrainians will then buy back our stuff with and then
14:13
we can build new stuff that to replace the old
14:16
stuff that we sold to Ukraine. Bob at Moscow had
14:20
a thought on that, send me an email about it,
14:22
but he's hanging on the phone this morning. Bob ninety
14:25
billion dollar deal and it's basically our money that we
14:30
sent him to buy stuff that we weren't going to
14:33
use anyway, from what I gather, what are your thoughts?
14:38
Speaker 20: Well, my question is is why are we buying Ukrainian
14:43
drones if the once kept saying he needs all this
14:48
money for you know, equipment and everything else. But yet
14:51
he's selling the drones to America because America is buying
14:56
at United States of America prices and Ukraine is building
15:02
them on Ukrainian the backs of Ukrainians that make three
15:06
hundred and four hundred dollars a month. So someone's getting
15:10
a kickback in the US governments by making these contracts.
15:14
They're laundering money. Someone's making billions of dollars, and US
15:18
taxpayers are putting the bill. Same thing with aid for food,
15:22
Why are we, you know, sending money for food and
15:26
aid to Ukraine at the United States prices? When I
15:31
can buy a loaf of bread.
15:34
Speaker 5: For under a dollar in Mosga.
15:37
Speaker 20: Spaghetti, yeah, I can spot buy four hundred grams of
15:42
spaghetti in Moscow, which is more expensive than what Ukraine
15:45
would be. I can buy five hundred grams, so half
15:50
a kilo of spaghetti, good spaghetti for twenty five cents.
15:58
Speaker 5: And this is always the change this is the tariffs.
16:03
This is what part and parcel of what the tariffs are.
16:05
But you're talking about, you know, buying something at bust
16:08
out American retail. So we're buying ninety billionars saying it's
16:11
ninety billion dollars worth of American cost. Like if an
16:15
American drone company built these drones, it would cost ninety
16:19
billion dollars, but they cost like one hundred thousand dollars
16:23
Ukrainian cost.
16:25
Speaker 20: What Ukrainians are building for in their country.
16:27
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, well I want to make sure I know
16:30
understood what you were getting at there. But that's the
16:33
issue with all of this stuff. You know, we we're
16:37
buying Ukrainian drones because North Korea doesn't want to sell
16:40
us theirs and they're sending him to Russia to use.
16:45
Speaker 7: You know.
16:45
Speaker 5: But that's the whole point of this whole back and
16:47
forth with we send you money and then you buy
16:50
our stuff from us with the money we sent you.
16:52
I mean, that's been part of this dumb show since
16:54
the beginning, is we send the money and then they
16:57
buy stuff from us with the money we gave them.
17:01
It's it's colossal money laundering. And then we use the
17:04
money that that we sent them an aid to buy
17:08
military equipment off budget, which is one of the things
17:11
Rand Paul has been screaming about, which is this this
17:15
military budget that it's grown out of this which is
17:20
you know, spending the money that we sent them in
17:23
aid as military budget money which hadn't been allocated by
17:27
the US Congress. This is why I've called it money launderations.
17:31
The get go.
17:34
Speaker 20: Yeah, it's all fake. The's prices that they're buying it for.
17:37
It's all fake because it's not the actual cost. If
17:42
Ukraine sells it to say Syria, don't to help get
17:48
rid of ASAD. They're not selling it to Syria based
17:51
on the cost would be in America. They're based on
17:56
the cost it is Ukraine. Same thing with US selling.
18:02
Speaker 5: And I get I get some of that, but I
18:04
understand Bob what you're getting at. But mean, that's the
18:07
issue with trade internationally all over the place. You know,
18:11
the bigger problem is why are we supporting a government
18:13
that allows people to try to live on three hundred
18:16
dollars a month and if that's what it costs, I
18:19
don't know what the housing is. They just blew up
18:21
a whole bunch of it in Kiev. So I don't
18:23
know what what a two bedroom apartment goes for in
18:27
Kiev these days, but an economy of scale, I mean,
18:32
we've got enough people here who can't afford an apartment
18:35
apartment building, And that's how they're inflaming all of this
18:38
Marxism on the streets of the United States. If there's
18:43
a marketplace, if there's a free and open market in Ukraine,
18:47
then they'll then they'll make more if they sent spend more.
18:51
But this is always the case. That's that's the case
18:54
of anything.
18:56
Speaker 20: Yeah, right, But you're what you and I we agree
18:59
on the same point. What I think you're misunderstanding. What
19:02
I'm saying is is why are we spending all the
19:05
sextra money to buy Ukrainian drones? If they need drones
19:10
for the economy, why not spend this ninety billion dollars
19:14
and our own people in our own country that are
19:16
struggling to buy food. You even report, you can report
19:20
on the radio stations even in Wisconsin that's the food pantry.
19:24
Because there's so many people struggling right now. Sure, food
19:27
pantries don't have enough food, So why are we spending
19:30
enough all this money to feed people all over the
19:32
world when we have our own people starving in our country.
19:36
Speaker 5: I need to take care of this is our citizens. Well,
19:39
this is what but this is what Ray and Paul
19:41
has been talking about. Now I can I can spend
19:43
days talking with you about why we shouldn't be spending
19:46
ninety billion dollars on anything because we don't have it.
19:49
But that's that's a bigger question. Anyway, Thank you, Bob,
19:53
I appreciate it. So you have a good morning, You
19:54
have a great day. Four three, four eight eight two
19:58
four to two one seven is the the phone number
20:00
of text messages as well. Come into that number as well.
20:05
You can get to us that way, and it's easier
20:07
for a lot of folks that don't have time to
20:09
chat in the morning. Where Bob is it's like past
20:12
lunchtime in Moscow. Yeah, that one, not the one in Indiana.
20:17
But this is international trade has always been the case.
20:22
You know, why do you buy stuff made in Vietnam?
20:24
Why do you why Taiwan? Did you see China chairman?
20:28
She said, Well, we'll talk peace with the United States,
20:31
We'll talk trade with the United States. As soon as
20:33
President Trump says he won't back Taiwan's independence.
20:40
Speaker 7: You know.
20:40
Speaker 5: So that's and so does Trump take that deal? It
20:46
is he's so interested in a deal with China that
20:49
he decides to turn on an independent Taiwan. But Taiwan
20:54
is a big manufacturer for us because it costs a
20:57
lot less to make there. This is what Rand Paul's
21:01
dad Ron was on about in twenty twelve, for Havn's sake,
21:04
and years before then, our friend James Lock from the
21:07
Jefferson Coin Shop is on the phone with us. Good morning, James.
21:10
How was your weekend, sir? All weekend was great, Joe.
21:13
Speaker 21: A little rainy over here in Central Virginia, but then
21:17
it cleared up yesterday and had a great time with
21:19
the family, riding around looking at some of the leaves
21:23
starting to change.
21:24
Speaker 7: Were not quite at peak weekend over.
21:28
Speaker 5: How are gold and silver doing this morning?
21:31
Speaker 21: Yeah, talk about peaking. Gold and silver are really shining
21:35
so far this morning. Gold is up fifty seven dollars,
21:39
up one and a half percent, at three eight hundred
21:42
and seventeen dollars, just updated on me. And silver is
21:47
up even stronger, up almost two percent a day to
21:49
forty six dollars and.
21:50
Speaker 5: Ninety three oh my gosh.
21:53
Speaker 7: Last week we were at forty three or forty four, Wow.
21:57
Speaker 5: Almost forty seven dollars for silver hey on Brandt. And
22:02
her name is Sharry.
22:03
Speaker 7: I love.
22:04
Speaker 3: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
22:06
for because of a surgery. She just went through.
22:09
Speaker 22: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
22:11
talk about all the time, which is meta share. That
22:14
is right.
22:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
22:17
and healthcare ability?
22:18
Speaker 22: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is when
22:21
you're already nervous about a health issue which I was.
22:24
Members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
22:27
me tell you, having people pray with you when you
22:30
call in with your need.
22:32
Speaker 3: That is just refreshing.
22:34
Speaker 22: Yes, that's what it is.
22:35
Speaker 5: What I keep telling people.
22:36
Speaker 3: People love meda share and they love saving money. The
22:39
typical family can save five hundred dollars a month.
22:42
Speaker 22: I am very thankful for meta share. It is so different,
22:46
and I mean different in a very very good way.
22:48

up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
23:20
veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
23:25
personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
23:30
and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
23:34
on patients. But, as with any new technology, always keep
23:40
a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
23:44
AI is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for
23:48
your veterinarians expertise, compassion and judgment, which remains at the
23:53
center of our profession. For more information on AI and

the first thing Todays.
28:29
Speaker 4: Conventions first?
28:41
Speaker 5: Oh sure you will? Well not if you're a Democrat.
28:44
Sixty six percent Gallup poll says sixty six percent of
28:49
the voters in the Democratic Party favor socialism, and it
28:53
shows in the candidates that are running there. So for
28:56
anyone who says, oh, no, we're about free, it's a
29:01
different kind of freedom. It's freedom from poverty, freedom from homelessness,
29:08
freedom from want. It's all those little tweaky things that
29:13
Marxists use. You're poor, don't you want to be less poor?
29:17
And the gag is what they do is they just
29:20
make everyone equally poor, so you just don't think you're poor.
29:27
It's what they've been doing, sending people more and more
29:29
money every month over time, as the money becomes less
29:35
and less valuable. Well, it's like that great scene from
29:39
the Mockumetary Spinal Tap when he asked about.
29:44
Speaker 2: What we do is if we need that extra push
29:46
over the cliff, you know we do put it up
29:48
to a labin exactly one.
29:51
Speaker 17: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten
29:53
be the top number and make that a little louder.
29:59
Speaker 4: These cards are left.
30:01
Speaker 5: That's that's the American social structure right now. The aid
30:07
society that we live in is will give you eleven,
30:10
even though you know ten used to suffice. But you
30:14
know ten is about the same value as eight, so
30:17
we have to give you eleven. Cely In Cortes writes
30:23
in why is it cheaper to make chips in Taiwan?
30:27
Labor costs just curious. Yeah, that's the main driver to it.
30:32
And many of these countries where the state picks up
30:37
a lot of what an American citizen has to do
30:40
on their own, still that they they pick up so much.
30:51
Whether it's healthcare, that's a big eie. I mean that's Canada.
30:54
Half of Canada beats us in labor because they pay
30:58
for health care. So an employer, whether it's Ford or whatnot,
31:03
moving their dearborn factories into Ontario, they do it because
31:08
if people work there, the government picks up their costs.
31:11
It picks up the labor, health insurance for it. It's bad,
31:17
nobody likes it, but it's paid for, so it's one
31:20
less cost. It has always been an economic befuddlement to me.
31:26
How it is that we can find it to be
31:31
more economically feasible. And this is a slight against our greed,
31:38
our need to go to eleven all the time, because
31:43
we drive up the cost of things until the things
31:47
we drive up the cost of leave. And this is
31:51
one of the things about President of Trump's economic challenges.
31:59
Speaker 7: Is that.
32:04
Speaker 5: We insist on making a lot of money until the
32:10
jobs leave, and then Trump came in and we're working
32:14
two or three part time or gig economy jobs to
32:17
scrape together whatever money we can. So therefore we need
32:24
to buy the cheapest stuff we can buy. And the
32:28
president's economic challenge has been how does the American economy
32:33
continue to be the most interesting one on the planet, Because,
32:42
say what you will, these companies, the chip manufacturers, whatever,
32:45
we're buying more stuff that uses chips than anyone else
32:48
except China, and they're just fixated with cell phones and
32:53
tablets and stuff like that. But we to buy cheap
33:00
stuff because we don't have a lot of money, because
33:04
our dollar doesn't buy much. I mean, you look at
33:07
some of the wages that are being made and you
33:11
say wow. You know, especially if you've got a few
33:14
miles on your own personal odometer, you might remember when
33:17
a fifty thousand dollars a year salary was pretty good. Now,
33:24
I mean you get that to work the deli counter
33:28
at Sheets or you know, Circle K or insert convenience
33:35
store in your neighborhood seven to eleven wah wah. Wherever
33:41
you are, wherever you're chief, or you're you're working the
33:44
deli counter at the supermarkets or whether it's Wegmans or
33:49
King super Public's. And fifty grand doesn't pay for your
33:56
housing because you're spending thirty or four grand for housing.
34:03
So what are we driving our costs for? And how
34:08
much of it is government regulation? Because we we sit
34:12
and we talk about free markets. Go back to the
34:14
Gallop poll that came out over the weekend that said
34:17
sixty six percent of Democrat voters supports socialism. Que Democrat

34:31
Speaker 4: Your rage fell you.
34:33
Speaker 5: I think Lenin said the same thing one hundred years
34:37
what's the can we get a can we get the
34:40
Google translate to translate that into Russian so we can
34:44
imagine what it was that the original Vladimir talked about,
34:51
because that's that's what it doesn't have to be Robespierre,
34:54
Lenin Hitler, MAO, it's always about grievance, playing on your
35:04
grievance because some guy makes more than you do and
35:07
you don't think it's fair. Remember what we discovered in conquered.
35:12
Earlier this year when we were up there for the
35:14
two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the Battle of Lexington
35:17
and conquered. They call Trump a tyrant because he stands
35:21
in the way of fairness. That's what the Miriam Webster
35:25
definition of tyrant is, someone who stands in the way
35:28
of fairness. Bonnard Cohen from SEAFAC coming up in a
35:34
little bit. We're going to talk about the failure of
35:36
the Ivanpah solar facility and the proof in the president's
35:41
con statements. But first let me get you at four
35:44
three four eight eight two four two one seven. Good morning.
35:48
Who's this hey, Joe, It's Clark, Morning, Clark. How are you, sir?
35:53
Speaker 18: I'm great, Joe.
35:54
Speaker 5: You're doing all right? Yeah, you know, we'd be doing
35:58
better if we had a free mark economy going here
36:01
and our dollar had some value to it. But other
36:04
than that, I can't you know, can't complain.
36:07
Speaker 18: Well, they definitely assaulted the value of the dollar. And
36:10
you know, all these people that are like against capitalism,
36:15
how do they know, Joe, when was the last time
36:18
they saw capitalism?
36:20
Speaker 7: Oh gosh, the people that are against.
36:22
Speaker 18: It, they don't know what capitalism is have never seen it.
36:25
Speaker 5: This is what when they when the teenagers say the
36:27
system is broken, I mean with the system that they
36:30
inserted in the sixties. Sure as hell has been ever
36:33
since the Great Society. This is this is soft core Marxism.
36:38
Speaker 18: Well, it's gone from soft core to more. I think
36:42
hardcore was sixty six percent of people that identify as
36:47
Democrats supporting socialism. Here's the thing, I don't know what
36:52
two thousand and eight they decided they could drop the masks,
36:56
and they've gotten more and more open about the Marxism. Sure,
37:00
and you know COVID Tyranny Stelen elections.
37:08
Speaker 5: Seventy four secret policemen in a in a crowd.
37:11
Speaker 19: Yes, yes.
37:13
Speaker 18: And the more they do this, the more percentage of
37:18
the base they lose. Now, their response to the decreased
37:23
numbers has been to turn it up till eleven on
37:29
the furor.
37:31
Speaker 5: And so is that a hang on a second? Or
37:34
because words sound the same, are you saying f you
37:37
R O R or f U H E R.
37:41
Speaker 18: Well I'm with the O R right now, but they're
37:44
down with the fuer two.
37:46
Speaker 5: It's the fuer the fer Okay, Yeah, just making sure
37:50
we understand our terms, because you know the the antics
37:54
of the morning. We have morning DJs and our antics,
37:56
you know, ped antics, sem antics, all the all the
38:00
antics that go into it.
38:01
Speaker 3: Life can change so abruptly.
38:04
Speaker 14: Just ask Paul.
38:05
Speaker 3: He's a hard working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a
38:08
young family. Suddenly, though, he develops a rare medical condition
38:11
where he lost the use of both of his arms.
38:14
Speaker 13: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer, type,
38:17
couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold my son,
38:19
who was about a month old.
38:20
Speaker 3: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
38:23
but they're so thankful that they're members of meta Share.
38:27
Speaker 13: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does men
38:29
share really work? I'm living proof that it works. My
38:33
four children are living proof that it works. My arms,
38:36
which have been healed, are living proof that menashare works.
38:39
Just knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our
38:42
needs are going to be taken care of when we
38:44
have some type of medical problem, that is such a
38:46
huge blessing to us.

Speaker 4: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
39:08
bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
39:13
am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
39:19
optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
39:23
nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
39:27
reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
39:32
The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37
has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
39:42
cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
39:46
in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
39:51
healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

42:05
Speaker 15: And now a speech.

Speaker 29: Who did you know that more than half our household
42:31
energy costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't
42:35
just good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
42:40
One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
42:42
energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
42:46
learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
42:50
That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
42:53
leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
42:56
improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy is when
43:00
you shop for a new appliance. Look for the energy
43:03
Star logo and read the energy guide label, and there
43:07
are day to day things you can do. Lower your
43:09
thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer, close
43:12
fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep air

filters clean. For more tips on saving money by reducing

44:24
Speaker 5: Hey hey, hey, hey, you mean Roku and the substack
44:33
rewriting these stix doesn't like Dennis dede Young anymore. Anyways,
44:45
that's the truth. Bonn Cohen, coming up from Sea Fact,
44:51
doctor Corky had a final thought.
44:53
Speaker 18: On the rage and feel the need ramp up the rhetoric.
45:01
We're getting to see what politics fueled by rage is
45:04
really about over the weekend, aren't we.
45:07
Speaker 5: Well, we don't know if that's what happened in Michigan,
45:10
if it was politics or not. They're they're making big
45:13
deals over the guns he had and the American flags
45:16
he had in the back of his pickup truck.
45:18
Speaker 18: Well, okay, let me make it a broader statement fueled
45:22
by rage. Sure you're giving me that, won't you.
45:25
Speaker 5: Yeah? Okay, So.
45:30
Speaker 7: I don't know.
45:31
Speaker 18: There's no telling what was running around inside that guy's head.
45:36
Speaker 5: You know, And now there really isn't because he is
45:39
as Russea Limbas said, assumed room temperature in a shootout
45:43
with police. One thing I can cluely it's indicative of
45:48
that he didn't want. This wasn't like suicide by cop.
45:52
I want to follow up on a story we had
45:54
yesterday while we continue to watch Michigan to see if
45:57
there's anything new that comes out of there, a story
46:00
of the Ivanpah solar array, following up just hours after
46:07
President Trump took all sorts of heat pardon the pun
46:11
for calling the green energy movement economy a con job.
46:19
They announced that twenty years before their scheduled shut down anyway,
46:25
the ivan Pa solar factory couldn't generate enough electricity in
46:31
the Majave Desert. And I'm sorry, I am not a scientist,
46:35
but if you can't generate solar power in the Mohave Desert,
46:40
you can't generate solar power. So to join us on
46:45
that thought is the great doctor Bonner Cohen from the
46:48
Committee for Constructive Tomorrow seefact dot org. Bonner, how are
46:53
you doing this morning, sir.
46:55
Speaker 7: I'm doing fine, Joe. You know, the timing of this
46:58
was exquisite. Trunk goes before the United Nations in New
47:02
York and correctly points out what a scam both the
47:07
notion of man made climate change as well as green
47:11
energy proposals and policies are, and a couple of days later,
47:18
and an example of what a gigantic scam they are
47:22
blows up in the face of what's left of the
47:27
Obama administration and people who supported these policies. When a
47:33
gigantic and I do mean gigantic solar farm in the
47:38
Mojave Desert in California, if you correctly pointed out, announced
47:43
it was shutting down. This solar facility received one point
47:49
six billion dollars a US taxpayer guaranteed loans in twenty eleven.
47:58
We were confidently old at the time that this was
48:02
going to make the United States the world's leader in
48:05
solar energy. Well, well, in a sense it was. It
48:11
showed that we were taking the lead and showing how
48:15
unbelievably stupid the whole idea was. As you pointed out,
48:20
if you can't make solar power work in the Mojave
48:23
Desert where you're supposed to make it work, I don't know.
48:26
Speaker 5: You know. Your friend of mine, Chris Horner, texted me
48:31
as we were reporting on this. He says, no, Joe,
48:33
they just haven't tried solar really yet, taking the line
48:37
from Marxism. Well, we haven't really tried Marxism correctly. Yet
48:42
you know, so you know, and I get it. It's
48:44
like Vankalo Klaus said, this is just Marxism rebranded as
48:48
a redistribution of wealth. How one point two billion dollars
48:53
in federal aid to make this thing happen? You know,
48:58
you know, do I get a need to start a
49:00
gas fired electric generating plant here in Virginia where we're
49:05
the data center capital of the world.
49:09
Speaker 7: Oh no. These people were very specific as to where
49:13
the taxpayer money went. It went to politically favored industries
49:20
such as wind and so are and which at best
49:25
produce intermittent energy. And they did not, in any way,
49:29
shape or form go to energy which is available twenty
49:33
four to seven three sixty five, such as natural gas
49:38
and for that matter coal, No, oh no, no, This
49:42
was what we were told was green energy, good for
49:46
the environment. Well, good for the environment. According to an
49:50
organization that targets effects on wildlife of energy resources, the
49:57
Ivanpa plant in the Mojave Desert killed and estimated six
50:02
thousand birds every year because the birds would fly over
50:06
for this facility. The facility generated a tremendous amount of heat,
50:11
and the birds effectively birds up all the middle of
50:15
the air.
50:16
Speaker 5: Oh, oh my god, that's horrific to think I'm just
50:18
flying along.
50:19
Speaker 7: The rivic And this was known, this was reported, and
50:23
yet they went ahead with it year after year after year,
50:27
all in the name of protecting the environment, but slaughtering
50:32
birds by the tens of thousands.
50:35
Speaker 5: No one cared well, so and I want to part
50:39
of me wants to spend more time on this because
50:42
it's just it's befuddling to me in the technology. I
50:46
remember when they announced this bugaboo. Oh, it's going to
50:49
be mirrors, and the mirrors are going to concentrate the
50:52
Sun's rays on these collection towers, and it was going
50:56
to be this sci fi.
51:00
Speaker 2: End.
51:00
Speaker 5: All be all of it because not only was it
51:03
going to be the sun in the Mahavi, but we
51:05
were going to concentrate the sun from the Mahave into
51:09
these collection towers. So you know, it redoubles the lunacy
51:14
of it. But I also want to apply it bonner
51:18
to the Ralph Northam Memorial wind turbine farm that Dominion
51:23
Energy here in Virginia wants to build in the Atlantic Ocean,
51:27
which I believe only has one wind turbine out there
51:30
as a trial run right now in construction. But they're
51:34
talking about hundreds and hundreds of wind turbines in the
51:36
Atlantic Ocean. And you've been on this program frequently calling
51:40
out what a scam that one is as well. Are
51:44
we going to be doomed to the same kind of
51:46
lunacy with this wind farm in the Atlantic if.
51:50
Speaker 7: It is allowed to go forward. I'm afraid we will.
51:54
It's unfortunately very far along. We do know that the
51:58
Trump administration is tokeking a serious look at it. It
52:02
is already shut down a similar wind farm off the
52:06
coast of Rhode Island, a revolutionary wind project. A judge
52:11
has now overturned that shutdown, so the thing is going
52:14
to have to wind its way through the courts. I
52:17
wouldn't be surprised if we saw a similar decision on
52:20
the part of the trupt administration with respect to what
52:23
is going on in the Atlantic Ocean. What Dominion Energy,
52:27
which is the utility that's behind this wind farm, is
52:32
going to do is a variation on the theme of Ivanpah.
52:38
Is going to produce intermittent energy at an extremely high cost.
52:43
As soon as those wind turbines go into operation, they
52:48
immediately lose their energy efficiency.
52:51
Speaker 25: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
52:55
turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
52:57
Speaker 11: It was medicine that came through force.
53:00
Speaker 29: There was no hassles, there was no problem.
53:02
Speaker 25: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
53:05
of such an incredible ministry.
53:07
Speaker 15: Meta Share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
53:11
share each other's medical expenses.
53:13
Speaker 17: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
53:17
with you through the hardest times of your life.
53:20
Speaker 15: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
53:24
old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
53:27
each other's medical bills.
53:28
Speaker 6: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
53:31
You can focus on on supporting other people.
53:33
Speaker 16: Medashare is affordable.
53:35
Speaker 15: Medishare is biblical.
53:36
Speaker 24: Medas Share is family.
53:37
Speaker 15: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
53:40
your healthcare and support your family when you need it.
53:43
Call eight five five Share forty, eight five five share forty.
53:48
That's eight five five share forty
