Net Zero dies in the Strait of Hormuz · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

Hello, this is Todd Royal.
0:13
I am your host of Geopower Energy and Real Politics.
0:17
And today we are going to all get a lesson, including myself in real politics.
0:25
Obviously, we know the world is at war right now, whether it's Pakistan and the Taliban, whether it's Russia in Ukraine, or certainly Iran with the United States and Israel preemptively attacking it.
0:41
One thing though has become abundantly clear.
0:46
Anybody who thinks that we are at net zero, we are going to decarbonize, or as the International Energy Agency said a few years ago, the incredibly unwise, ideologically unsound, you know, faith baral.
1:05
The world no longer needs fossil fuels.
1:08
Can we take that tired global warming, environmentally driven Marxist nonsense, whether from an imbecile teenager Greta Thunberg or the fools at big giant corporations or the Black Stones or the Black Rocks or the IEA or the United Nations or the former Biden administration or the incredibly destructive United States Democratic Party and its supposed green allies or the European Greens or the feckless leadership of Ursula Vanderlei or Kaya, the one from Estonia, the their foreign minister, or McCrone or Mertz or Starmer, Ed Milibrand or the fools who run Australia or New Zealand, the world runs on fossil fuels.
2:07
That is an immutable fact.
2:10
We have spent trillions on renewables, and they've done nothing.
2:16
Remember, renewables.
2:19
What I refer to renewables today, it's going to be the wind and the sun.
2:23
Every single component in a wind turbine and solar panel comes from fossil fuels.
2:32
Every single one of them.
2:44
Here's hoping that the creator of the show, Taylor Sheridan and Mr.
2:48
Thornton, the lead actor, do one on solar panels.
2:52
It's even worse.
2:54
They come mainly from China.
2:56
One of the most energy intensive things you can ever do is to make a solar panel.
3:03
It's unbelievable when people to me think those things are green.
3:07
If you don't believe me, please go read myself and the wonderful uh Ron Stein's book, Clean Energy Exploitations.
3:14
There's a shameless plug.
3:17
But it was interesting.
3:18
There's a couple things that when we think about this.
3:22
The world got a dosage of energy reality when Russia invaded Ukraine.
3:28
And all of a sudden, when you take away Russian gas, the EU is crashing.
3:33
In other words, a fossil fuel, not renewables, not a solar panel, not a battery energy storage system at grid scale, which runs lithium and can never store electricity more than I'll be generous generous and tell you eight hours.
3:50
Most people would dispute me and say four to six.
3:53
I can find even credible people who would say two uh two hours.
3:58
The best work I've ever seen on this was done, has been done by Mark P.
4:03
Mills.
4:04
Mark does amazing work.
4:06
Doomberg does amazing work on this, has written extensively on renewables.
4:10
Uh Chris Kiefer's uh Dr.
4:13
Chris Kiefer, pardon me, podcast decouple has gone into this.
4:19
Uh Dr.
4:19
Kiefer's work recently on Twitter about the energy history of the EU is a must read Twitter thread, his podcast to couple, does amazing work, focuses on nuclear power, but also does overall energy work as well.
4:34
And uh between Dr.
4:36
Kid, the the recent interview of Dr.
4:38
Kiefer and Doomberg is a must listen.
4:41
Mr.
4:42
Mills's work on all of this is great.
4:45
But when I thought about some of this and preparing for this episode, the great LeBron James, the basketball player.
4:54
Great debate goes on who's a better player, him or Michael Jordan, you know, the GOAT, the greatest of all time.
5:01
What I would say about Mr.
5:02
James and a thousand years ago I played basketball and I coached it previously as well, is what he shows is a fact.
5:12
Go YouTube, uh LeBron James's workouts.
5:17
Go YouTube, his diet, his knowledge of the game.
5:21
Um, if you want to hear a genius at work, go listen to his um YouTube's about and with JJ Reddick on basketball.
5:31
The man is a savant.
5:33
Go look at his pre-game uh warmups or pardon me, yeah, warmups, how he gets his body ready, activates his muscles.
5:41
I mean, the man has a body of a of a 25-year-old.
5:46
Yet here he is at 41 years old.
5:48
The Lakers are playing as good a basketball as anybody.
5:51
This man is so smart.
5:53
He has now allowed uh Luka Donchik and Austin Reeves to the Los Angeles Lakers to kind of take center stage.
6:01
He's now what's called the third, you know, the third option.
6:05
You I cannot say enough about how intelligent of a basketball player he is, how he keeps his body, in other words, there's a fact.
6:14
Yes, Mr.
6:15
James is 6'9, 245, 265 pounds.
6:20
Go watch him play right now.
6:23
He will fly through the air and dunk a basketball.
6:26
Watch the game a week ago.
6:27
He takes an alley oop from Luka Donchik.
6:30
There's I don't know, maybe a few hundred people in the world that can do that.
6:36
Certainly nobody at his age.
6:38
So in other words, there's a fact.
6:42
Not saying you're gonna be LeBron James, but if you probably want to be a professional athlete and you want to be at his level and you want to be his level that high, then you better work out like LeBron James.
6:52
There's been some great examples.
6:54
JJ Reddick had a legendary routine, the now the coach of the Lakers, and he said, I couldn't do it anymore.
6:59
I was, I was, I was done.
7:01
Uh John Elway, the great John Elway, same thing said, I just couldn't do it anymore.
7:08
He was like, I still throw football, but what it was going to take.
7:13
But yet somehow Mr.
7:15
James can continue to do this.
7:16
Uh, if this podcast ever gets to LeBron James, hats off to you.
7:22
Hats off to you for being a 41-year-old man and playing this way.
7:27
And full disclosure, I've been critical of his politics.
7:31
Um, but man, the man uh seemingly is still married to his high school sweetheart, completely devoted to his children.
7:42
Um, that is a rare breed.
7:44
That's a rare find right there.
7:46
And then to still be working out the way he is, and he's a billionaire.
7:52
Well, what it shows is success is not necessarily money.
7:57
Success is drive.
7:58
Success is this man has the drive to do it.
8:01
Sure, there's been reports he spends one to two million dollars a year on his body, but he still has to show up to do all the workouts, to go to sleep, to eat properly.
8:13
Um, I would guess that the man probably doesn't smoke much, drink much.
8:18
Um again, uh, think what you may think about as politics, but let me tell you what, you should admire that gentleman because it shows a fact.
8:29
The same way we are seeing the fact of the Strait of Hormouths being closed.
8:35
You want to be a professional athlete like LeBron James, then you better have dedication like him.
8:40
You want to have a modern economy, you want to not freeze to death, starve to death, uh, die for lack of water.
8:48
You better have a fossil fuel.
8:50
Here's another thing that recently happened as well.
8:52
Um, I want to credit Alex Trembeth.
8:56
Uh, he writes a publication called The Eco Modernists.
9:00
It's through the Breakthrough Institute.
9:02
Uh, they do just about some of the best work on nuclear power you're going to read.
9:07
I would definitely call them uh environmentalists, but they're realist.
9:12
You can't you'll be hard pressed to find um outside of James Krellenstein, anybody as smart on nuclear power and the environment as um as these guys.
9:28
Uh Ted Nordhaus, Adam, Dr.
9:31
Adam Stein.
9:32
You're you're hard pressed to find someone who can write more factually, persuasively than Mr.
9:40
Nordhouse.
9:41
Well, one of the folks that he works with, Alex Trimbeth wrote something so um article called The Cruelty is the point on Paul Ehrlich and the Malthusian Malevalence.
9:53
Pardon me for mispronouncing that word.
9:55
Um, Paul Erlach, big environmentalist.
10:00
There's not enough food in the world, so people should die and died.
10:06
Um he's the author of the population bomb, you know, population bomb.
10:13
He, oh, he's was been famous for 50 years on Johnny Carson, just quoted over and over.
10:21
Um I don't want to take away from this article because they they say that you know Ehrlich bashing has become universal.
10:33
But it it let me quote them though, and he goes, it is because of how spectacularly wrong his high stakes predictions proved, and because the cruelty with which he spoke about babies, mothers, families, and the and the poor.
10:49
Um this was at, you know, he inspired China's one-child policy.
10:57
Um they quoted as saying it's estimated 20 million missing girls were largely due to coerce sex selective abortion and infanticide.
11:09
Why is this important?
11:12
Because Paul Ehrlich is a god to the to the modern Western environmental movement, which kills Africans, Indians, uh people, because these are the fools who have said, oh, we can decarbonize.
11:33
No, let me be straight with you.
11:35
You will only decarbonize using a nuclear power plant.
11:38
You will only decarbonize if advanced nuclear reactor companies like um TerraPower, um Copenhagen Atomics, Kairos Power, X Energy, New Scale, uh G Renoe, you know, G, GE Renova, Hitachi Nuclear Energy, Westinghouse.
12:02
Um, you will only, only Russian, you know, Rose Adams, uh, Chinese companies, you will only decarbonize using a nuclear power plant, whether you like the country or not, the Russians and the Chinese, or you, you know, you you have you prefer uh Canadian can do reactor.
12:24
Do you prefer the French?
12:25
Do you prefer uh newfound SMR companies that stands for small modular reactor?
12:30
You will only decarbonize using a nuclear power plant.
12:36
You will die if you listen to people like Paul Ehrlich, who comes from Thomas Malthus, oh, the famed preacher in the 1700s who said there wasn't enough resources and supplies, and that people should die and not have babies, these tired environmental arguments.
12:57
Um, I also credit Ted Nordhaus for talking about climate lawfare.
13:02
It will be in the show notes where they these law firms and environmental organizations like Friends of the Earth, Sierra Club, uh, that Robert Bryce has done such excellent work chronicling the billions of dollars these people receive from people like the Walton Airs, you know, Sam Walton's rolling over in his grave, or Steve Jobs' uh widow.
13:26
How is it that successful men breed such unsuccessful women?
13:32
Women that could be using their wealth for good, go build churches, orphanages, clean water facilities, water wells, um, agriculture, but no, they use it because they want to think of themselves as gods.
13:49
Ladies, you're not.
13:50
You're a bunch of Jezebels.
13:54
Let that one land on you.
13:57
What this war has shown us.
14:04
Never listen to Paul Ehrlach.
14:06
Never.
14:08
Never.
14:14
Again, I want to credit Mr.
14:15
Trimbeth because he goes, Urlac, who is a proud champion of Malthusian.
14:21
Oh, yes, get rid of people.
14:23
That's what you need.
14:26
Um has argued that the earth can only sustain 2.5 billion people, but his work has been uh the time, his work has been thoroughly discredited by the likes of Marquette and Conduset.
14:39
Uh you know, even Karl Marx and Esther Ballstrap.
14:46
Oh his memoir, he said famine would take over that would kill hundreds of millions of people.
14:52
No, let me tell you what's going to kill hundreds of millions of people if you don't reopen the Strait of Hormouth, if the Houthis closed down uh the Red Sea, the the Bournemouth pass.
15:04
Um if you want to close those down, which is fascinating because wait a minute, I thought I was we were told you didn't need fossil fuels.
15:13
That's what we were told.
15:15
Yet, of course, uh a wonderful group.
15:18
Oh, these guys, the energy bad boys and a gentleman named Mitch Rowling as well.
15:23
Uh, please go, please, please, please, please, please go subscribe to these guys on Substack.
15:29
Uh, I can't say enough incredible things about these guys.
15:33
They're probably the best energy model modelers going right now.
15:38
They talked about like the recent winter storm in Texas that wind and solar, because they basically didn't work, because they're dependent on the weather.
15:46
Lost set Texans lost 766 million dollars.
15:50
Do you realize that the Qatari Energy has said that because the Rice Lafon um facility was bombed by the Iranians?
15:59
But wait a minute, remember, we don't need, we we don't we don't need fossil fuels.
16:03
So why do we need natural gas?
16:04
Thought we didn't need any of these things anymore.
16:07
We're gonna go net zero.
16:08
That's what the IEA told me, yet somehow they want to coordinate the release of 400 million barrels of oil.
16:15
What I'm getting at is there are immutable facts.
16:19
Paul Ehrlich is an evil man.
16:21
Don't celebrate him, don't speak his name in goodwill.
16:27
Everything he said was wrong.
16:29
Every environmental organization right now, don't listen to him.
16:32
The Democratic Party, the uh what at one point was a beloved Democratic Party to be, the party of Truman of Kennedy, Scoop Jackson.
16:42
You can make the argument the greatest geopolitical decision of the 20th century was uh former, you know, now obviously deceased President Truman not crossing the 38th parallel.
16:56
Now for it, we have South Korea, which has given us trillions of dollars of economic goodwill.
17:04
Uh one of the bright shining industrial lights in the world are the South Koreans.
17:10
You are hard pressed to find a better-run country than South Korea.
17:15
You were certainly hard-pressed to find um better shipping and steel and forgings and certainly nuclear power plant construction outside of the Russians and the Chinese than the South Koreans.
17:31
Yet people like Paul Ehrlich would say, oh, no, no, no, get rid of all of them.
17:36
Oh, no, no, no, use wind and solar.
17:38
Bill McKibben, who has a new book on solar.
17:41
I don't even like to, I don't even want to promote it.
17:43
It's not even worth the ink.
17:45
It's it's not even worth the paper, the waste of ink, the waste of Mr.
17:50
McKibben's time, which by all accounts is a is a lovely charming man.
17:57
But has this ideological fantasy that the wind and the sun is going to power a modern economy?
18:04
If that were the case, why has the entire world freaked out over the Strait of Hormuz?
18:10
I thought we were all going to net zero.
18:12
That's what I was told.
18:14
We were going to decarbonize.
18:22
So why is the entire world, including the Democratic Party and the Greens of Europe freaking out?
18:32
If you want Mr.
18:33
Ehrlach's predictions to come true, take away over 18 million barrels of oil a day, which if I can also recommend somebody else to you.
18:51
Pardon me, Dr.
18:52
Anas Al-Haji.
18:54
He has a firm called Energy Outlook Advisors, and he he put something out called the Hormose Crisis and Alternative View.
19:02
He gives some pretty interesting views that I don't have time to get into, but he definitely says the loss of crude and petroleum products is more than 18 million barrels a day.
19:13
If it was not such a big deal, then lose them all.
19:17
Blow up every single one of the um facilities Iran has said they want to blow up.
19:25
Go blow up every energy facility in Iran.
19:35
Blow that up, blow up Israel's power plants.
19:39
Because we can we can run on the wind and the sun.
19:42
Blow them all up.
19:43
Taiwan, you don't need nuclear power.
19:45
You're gonna run on renewables.
19:48
Why have they freaked out that they have maybe 11 days worth worth of gas storage?
19:53
You never hear somebody going, oh, I've only got these many days of the wind and the sun.
19:59
Because it's a
20:00
Joke.
20:01
It's an alternative energy.
20:03
It's if you want to use it for off-grid applications, great.
20:07
Go do it.
20:08
Why is it when a solar plant gets destroyed in Iowa because of a hurricane or a windstorm in Africa takes out some wind turbines, you hear nothing about it.
20:20
That's not even ideological.
20:22
Why does it CNN go?
20:24
Oh my gosh, we lost over 700 megawatts of solar in Georgia because of a tornado or a hurricane is hit an installation by one of the big uh utilities in the Carolinas.
20:39
Because nobody cares.
20:42
Because it means nothing.
20:45
Our entire lives are bathed in, soaked in.
20:50
Please forgive me for being crass, but have sex with, shoot in our arms, petroleum-based products.
20:58
Nobody cares that when someone says the wind and the sun are free, they're talking about the marginal cost.
21:08
Okay.
21:09
Yes, when the wind goes through a turbine, it's free.
21:13
But you will never recover the emissions and the dirt, the dirtiness and the environmental impact of a turbine compared to a natural gas plant.
21:22
I would even make the argument a coal-fired plant is cleaner than a wind turbine because you have to back the thing up.
21:30
You have to build two complete systems.
21:33
You have to do all sorts of things with a grid that it was never meant for.
21:37
We actually now know the amount of penetration it takes to blackout a grid.
21:43
Look at Spain and Portugal, the Iberian Peninsula.
21:46
A new report has come out from their regulators.
21:49
And we we had about 78% renewable penetration.
21:55
The grid went out.
21:56
People argue with me.
21:57
Oh, the inverters were not working correctly, and they didn't manage the grid.
22:02
And this didn't happen.
22:04
No, some cloud cover came in.
22:07
Isn't it fascinating that I can bomb a nuclear power plant and it keeps working?
22:14
Zaffarita in Ukraine, the Iranian one.
22:19
They work.
22:23
Yet a cloud comes over the Iberian Peninsula.
22:26
It's over with.
22:27
Grid shuts down.
22:29
If you want Mr.
22:30
Earl, if you you really have a choice on this, and go with me on this.
22:36
Follow LeBron James.
22:38
Excellence.
22:39
Go with the lies and the evil and the disgustedness of a Paul Erlac and today's modern environmental movement backed up by people like the ACLU, the U.S.
22:50
Democratic Party, and European Greens.
22:53
You will die.
22:56
You do need fossil fuels.
22:58
What you actually need, and uh I credit the great David Blackman, who's been on the program before.
23:03
He talks about coal as making a resurgence uh in America.
23:07
Uh and I said this before, and I'll say it again.
23:09
Please go follow um David Blackman.
23:13
Uh another gentleman named Nathan Hammer has a great article out called Qatar Under Attack, why liquefied natural gas powers the global economy.
23:25
Or the gentleman you hear me talk about often, who is probably.
23:32
I'd call him one of the heroes of energy public policy these days, is uh Telik Dashi.
23:37
I think he's Dr.
23:38
Dashi.
23:39
Forgive me if you are uh if I'm saying your name incorrect, Mr.
23:43
Dashi.
23:44
I've quoted you numerously and would love to have you on the show.
23:48
He's got one that's even better.
23:50
Um, called The Strait of Hormuz Crisis shows the world still runs on fossil fuels.
23:57
Uh even further is a wonderful new writer on the scene.
24:01
She's been for a while called Sarah Montalbano called gut called uh Governor Holchul.
24:07
New York needs breathing room with its climate goals.
24:10
Wait a minute.
24:11
Oh, oh, whoa, whoa.
24:12
I thought you passed your climate.
24:15
You passed all your your your climate.
24:18
I thought climate change was an existential threat.
24:21
Can let me also say, and you can call me a denier all day long.
24:25
Please do.
24:27
The facts, not my opinion.
24:30
The facts show that global warming is not happening.
24:35
The facts.
24:36
There is not a climate doom.
24:38
There's no need for climate legislation.
24:41
Again, I would point anybody to um the Breakthrough Institute and the work they do.
24:47
Um they they talk about many times climate legislation causes more harm than good when you look at the natural variability of um climate.
24:59
If you actually want to lower your emissions, if you want to meet the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Climate Agreement, you do what the United States did, and you move from coal to natural gas.
25:10
Now, I will tell you, I could care less about either one of those agreements.
25:15
They mean nothing.
25:16
There, it uh it is nothing because whether you are a creationist, an evolutionist, or somewhere in between.
25:25
The world has been warmer, it's been colder, it's had more CO2 in the air, and more what's called particulate matter in the air before fossil fuels and before we had this many people.
25:37
Why is that?
25:39
You do not have to study this stuff all the time like I do.
25:43
You don't have to be a climatologist, a scientist.
25:46
You have to be any of those things.
25:48
Because the climate, according to Dr.
25:51
Willie Soon, has thousands upon thousands of variables that affect it.
25:57
And just looking at one of the variables takes a supercomputer about 40 years to go through a question on it.
26:04
Now, I will certainly tell you that is the God of the Jewish Bible.
26:10
Uh, there is a creator of the universe.
26:12
That is the God who sent us Jesus Christ, the savior of our uh of ourselves and our sins and the savior of humanity that is part of the holy trinity, God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit.
26:23
I know many people you can mock me now.
26:26
Oh my gosh, you're a denier.
26:29
And you are a Bible-believing inherently of the Bible Christian.
26:34
I can heal it, I can hear Bill Maher now mocking the hell out of me.
26:39
Go right ahead.
26:41
Um, I will take Pascal's wager on that one, by the way.
26:47
But what this is really to not sit here and continue to be funny, is this.
26:52
And it's and it's what I'm going to tell you after the break, and I want to go through uh Tali Gadashi's article because it's so massively important to show you the role of fossil fuels in our in our lives and how we can do nothing without fossil fuels.
27:07
And frankly, you can't even build a nuclear power plant without fossil fuels.
27:12
My name is Todd Royal.
27:14
I'm the host of Geopower Energy and Real Politics, and I will be right back.
27:19

Hello, this is Todd Royal, and we're back for the second half of Geopower, Energy, and Real Politics.
30:20
There's something I wanted to talk with you about, though, right now.
30:24
Um from Tilig Dashi.
30:26
And Mr.
30:27
Dashi, he wrote an article that I mentioned in the first part of the show called the Strait of Hormose Crisis.
30:34
Uh shows the world still runs on fossil fuels.
30:37
The entire thesis of this show is what I'll talk about facts, and the facts are what this war has shown.
30:46
And please don't tell me we talk about oh, a crisis or a conflict or special operation.
30:51
Are people being shot or bombed and the other sides, you're doing it to each other, and you can't come to a political or diplomatic or economic uh solution.
31:02
If you can't and you go to killing one another, that's a war.
31:06
You have battles within that war, but that's a war.
31:11
Please, I get tired of oh, this conflict.
31:14
And no, no, no.
31:15
No, no, no.
31:16
Three nation states are warring it out with one another.
31:21
Um, whether you agree or not about hitting civilian targets, um, World War II showed us that hitting civilian targets, you can win a war that way.
31:32
Um, by terrorizing and killing civilians, you can achieve success on a battlefield.
31:38
Doesn't mean you have to agree with it.
31:39
Doesn't mean you have to say that's against international law, but I keep hearing analysts go, it doesn't work.
31:46
Oh, yes, it does work.
31:48
It's not correct, but oh yes, it does work.
31:51
Um, go read Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five.
31:54
It will traumatize you to go burn down Dresden for no supposedly no good reason, but you had to break the will of the of the Nazi ideology.
32:04
You had to go burn down then uh 80% of Tokyo to Japan to take out that uh Shinto Buddhism racist masochist um cheesmo that was the imperial uh government, uh, the emperor worship system and the Japanese army.
32:24
You are not going to do that by negotiations.
32:27
You are going to do that by slaughtering and obliterating as many Japanese or Germans as possible.
32:34
In the same vein, unfortunately, if you want to win this war or you want to stop this war, if you are the Iranians, you put the Middle East into blackout.
32:47
You bomb every desalinization plant you can.
32:50
Now that doesn't say you won't have a nuclear response from um from any of these nations.
32:58
Doesn't say if I get rid of all the drinking water in Israel, they're not going to lob nuclear weapons at me, or the United States wouldn't do the same thing.
33:06
But if you want this thing to come to a conclusion, go put the Middle East in a blackout and watch people start dying by the tens of millions and uh evil people like the now to see deceased Paul Ehrlich will get his wish.
33:22
Less people on Mother Earth, he will get his wish.
33:25
His population bomb and neo-malthusian and the rest of these environmentalists who believe in that nonsense.
33:32
Oh, you will get your wish.
33:34
But let's make no mistake.
33:37
Um this whole problem can be solved.
33:46
World War II showed us that problems can be solved.
33:50
LeBron James shows us that if you want to be a professional athlete, I'm not saying you're gonna be as good as Mr.
33:55
James.
33:56
Here at my at his age, here is the level of dedication.
34:00
Yes, he has got uh genius level.
34:07
Well, he probably is a genius uh at the game of basketball.
34:10
He sees things kind of like a Wayne Gretzky that others aren't seeing.
34:14
But make no mistake, whether it's Mr.
34:17
James or someone like a Stephen Curry who spends hours every day dribbling and shooting a basketball.
34:23
If you want to be them, you better go put in the work.
34:26
If you want to go win this war, you got two ways to do it.
34:31
You can either you can either uh slaughter people into oblivion, or you can get rid of their fossil fuels.
34:39
And I'm gonna go through this now and you go, whoa, whoa, Todd, that is man, that is harsh.
34:47
Very harsh.
34:48
Truth is harsh.
34:50
Let's just get some facts out there.
34:52
The Strait of Hormuz is barely 20, and I'm gonna I'm gonna be quoting throughout this article.
34:58
The Strait of Hormuz is barely 21 miles wide at its narrowest point, which makes this one of the greatest concentrations of economic risk on the planet, which also it's so stupid that the Middle East allowed this to happen.
35:12
Frankly, that the entire world, you didn't want to have backup pipelines.
35:17
You didn't want to build another Panama Canal.
35:20
You didn't want to do something, or frankly, you don't, then all of you should go into Iran together and literally level the entire country.
35:28
And if that means every single person is killed, then I guess they are.
35:32
You go into Yemen and you slaughter every Houthi you can find.
35:36
You can solve these problems.
35:39
You just don't have the political will to solve these problems.
35:43
You want to listen to fools like Rachel Maddow or Joe Scarborough or the rest of the U.S.
35:49
Democratic Party or the American public.
35:51
Oh, we're too queasy about these things.
35:53
Well, go read your World War II history.
35:56
Go read the wonderful Victor Davis Hanson's book, the best book on this called the The Second World War.
36:04
The most comprehensive book that is one of the more chilling books you'll ever read when it talks about what was done in World War II and any lectures you can ever listen to from Dr.
36:14
Hansen about World War II, the 100 million people now.
36:20
I've read new estimates that a hundred million people died.
36:24
You know, as people are getting better about you know, finding graves, uh, looking at dental records, basically finding out when someone passed away or was killed during they're finding more and more people from World War II.
36:39
But listen to this, listen to this chilling what uh Mr.
36:42
Dashi says, and Mr.
36:43
Dashi, pardon me.
36:44
I cannot recall if you're Mr.
36:45
Dashi or Dr.
36:46
Dashi.
36:50
When tensions flare in the Persian Gulf, the reverbiations travel far beyond the Middle East.
36:56
There fell to Mumbai, Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, Manila, and ultimately across the entire global economy.
37:06
Again, I thought we were going to net zero.
37:09
So who cares if I get rid of it?
37:12
Uh the person we probably should all be listening to is the CEO of Saudi Aramico, who for years has said you're living in a fantasy land international energy agency.
37:22
If you think uh the end of fossil fuels is near and no more investments are needed.
37:28
The world is not going to run on renewables.
37:30
It doesn't now, and it never will in our lifetime until you can unlock the physics and until you can capture controlling how much sun goes through a solar panel, controlling how much wind can go through a wind turbine, the speed at which it can go, the power it can deliver, the heat that it can produce, which it can't produce much if any heat at all.
37:52
And until you can figure out battery storage systems at grid scale that can last for months at a time and not only deliver electricity, but deliver heat the way a fossil fuel can or a nuclear power plant can, then it means nothing.
38:10
And you will then have to eventually say, do I go in and slaughter every Iranian I can find to keep the Strait of Hormos open, or we live with downtrodden economic depression, or we get every single hydrocarbon we can from the United States, but they're a politically unstable society because they still listen to the U.S.
38:33
Democratic Party, which means then I better go down into Latin America and get uh from the Vacamurda, Brazil, Argentina, Guyana, Venezuelan oil, Canadian oil, but they're run by you know the ultimate globalist uh fantasy Mark Carney, Mr.
38:52
Global Warming himself.
38:55
Folks, the Mark Carne's of the world, the Ursula Vandeleys of the world need to be thrown into the dust bin of political history.
39:06
You also need to know the US Democratic Party is dead.
39:10
This is a radical socialist, anti-growth, anti-human, all about power, wants you to be subservient, call them gods and goddesses, and once you dead and once only economic growth and power for them.
39:24
And if you die, California while serving at the your master Gavin Newsom, fine by them.
39:34
In the United States, you either elect a Trump like Republican or you will die.
39:43
Harsh.
39:43
That's the truth.
39:46
This war has shown get rid of fossil fuels, people die.
39:50
The U.S.
39:51
Democratic Party wants to get rid of fossil fuels.
39:54
AOC knows nothing.
39:58
Knows literally nothing.
39:59
The scroll.
40:00
Squad knows nothing.
40:02
Ilian Omar should be deported, jailed, uh thrown into a prison the rest of her life.
40:08
She's a cheating, lying human being with no redeeming qualities.
40:14
Wants to conquer you, people of Virginia.
40:18
And you voted for that and you believe for that.
40:21
People of America, people of Europe, you either begin to vote for like the ADF or the British conservative parties.
40:29
You let the Norwegians control your energy policy, or you're gonna die.
40:35
Your entire entire entire existence outside of the God of the Jewish Bible and Jesus Christ for most of the world is that the Strait of Hormuz stays open and those 18 billion barrels, 18, pardon me, 18 million barrels of oil reach where they need to go, or Russian natural gas gets to Europe.
41:01
One-fifth of the world's oil consumption and a similar share of global liquid natural gas trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making it the most critical energy marine choke point on earth.
41:18
The consequences of that vulnerability is still shocking.
41:21
I'm actually shocked.
41:23
The biggest shock to me is that the Chinese have allowed this to happen.
41:29
The people who believe in the long game, the people who think decades ahead, five-year plans, they allowed a significant amount of their 20 million barrels a day they import to come from the Middle East.
41:44
You didn't do your pipeline years ago with Russia for more liquid natural gas.
41:58
That the Chinese have allowed this to happen.
42:03
Now governments around the world, corporations, green groups are scrambling to conserve fuel, release strategic reserves, secure alternative supplies.
42:14
You've got the Western hemisphere, and that's about it.
42:17
The Europeans are so stupid and so ideologically driven, and listen to complete fools like Ed Milibrand or Keir Starmer or McCrone or Mertz.
42:29
The Europeans have plenty of oil and natural gas to go get themselves.
42:33
If you don't believe me, go back 25 years and just have a look.
42:38
Go to the when it then was the BP statistical review of world energy.
42:43
Look at the figures.
42:44
They're easy to find.
42:46
Go to chat GPT and put them in.
42:53
Mr.
42:53
Tosh, what he says here.
42:56
Um just just listen to this, what Mr.
43:00
Dashi says.
43:06
The spectacle, 21 mile part of the earth is now crippling the earth.
43:14
The spectacle is a striking reminder of an inconvenient truth.
43:19
I always like uh a nice snarky sentence against uh former vice president Al Gore.
43:25
Despite decades of political rhetoric about an imminent energy transition to net zero by 2050, and I will try to put in the show notes works by uh Mark P.
43:36
Mills, who's talked about all of this and written wonderful reports on this.
43:40
The modern global economy remains heavily dependent on oil and gas.
43:45
It's over 80%.
43:47
Much of that supply still throw still flows through a single narrow passage between Iran and Oman.
43:55
People like to say this.
43:56
I'm MAGA, I'm MAGA, I don't support this war, I'm an isolationist, I'm an American first guy.
44:02
Um Tucker Carlson, all the things he says, Candace Owens, Rachel Maddow, um, you know, the Joe Scarborough's, the CNNs, the folks on that debate panel every night, and all of you people.
44:16
Oh my gosh, Donald Trump is the worst.
44:19
No, he's not.
44:23
Um you think the Iranians weren't going to get a nuclear bomb and close it down anyway.
44:33
I would tell the entire world if you truly wanted to solve this problem, become Stalin, tell the Allies to go obliterate Dresden just because I want to do it, just because I want to teach the Nazi Germans a lesson.
44:49
You want to take out political military Islam that is now beginning to fuse with radical homosexual, pro-Palestinian, Antifa leftist.
45:03
You want to take them all out at once?
45:06
Go flatten and kill every single person you can in Iran and do exactly what you did in World War II.
45:13
It's a horrible ugly thing to say, but there is a solution here.
45:17
Otherwise, they're going to get a nuclear bomb and they're going to shut down the Strait of Hormones anyway.
45:23
That the world has allowed a 21-mile opening to essentially be a global economic and life-giving choke point.
45:34
Shame on the world.
45:45
Right now, is because of the Shell Revolution, which began in 2007.
45:49
There's there's a book.
45:51
Oh, I can't remember it.
45:52
It's it's a former former writer.
45:55
Oh, Russell Gold, Russell Grove, Russell Gold, great work.
45:59
Wrote a book called Boom about the fracking revolution.
46:03
I based my master's thesis off his book, Mr.
46:06
Gold, incredible book.
46:09
You've done great work.
46:12
The United States is an energy gigaper.
46:15
I got that quote from Doomberg.
46:17
The United States, we're now the number one in the world in oil and natural gas.
46:25
We were told back in like the 2005-2006 State of the Union by then President George W.
46:31
Bush, we had to go to a hydrogen and renewable economy because we had reached peak oil.
46:37
Also, the people who talk about peak oil.
46:42
There's a difference.
46:43
If you make something so politically tough or put on so many regulations, it's not recoverable.
46:48
Take all of that off, and the United States itself could supply the world with all the oil and natural gas it ever needed.
46:55
New reports have come out that said it looks like California has more oil than even natural gas than Texas does.
47:02
Both the coast off the United States each have between 10 to 16 billion barrels of oil.
47:07
Well, wait a minute, we can't drill out there, but yet somehow Democrats and their democratic media allies said you can put a wind turbine out there, thousands of them off waters, but you can't put an oil platform.
47:22
That's a political choice.
47:23
That's an ideological Marxist Jezebel evil from the pit of hell choice.
47:31
Folks, there are some big decisions to be made.
47:38
Oh, well, we'll stop, we'll stop, we'll get peace with the Iranians.
47:41
Oh, oh, if only the Jews, the Israelis, they run the United States.
47:46
That's not what any of it's about.
47:50
All of us need the oil and the natural gas that comes from the Middle East.
47:56
Or you'll die.
47:58
That's a fact.
48:01
Do you realize about 20 million barrels of oil or Dr.
48:06
Anaji?
48:07
18 million, let's just call it 19 million barrels of oil, world consumes about 100 million barrels a day.
48:15
Um a third of all global seaborne trade goes through there.
48:20
Uh, 20% of all the LNG trade.
48:24
But what about, oh, but wait a minute, insurance agencies caused it, and oh, the the U.S.
48:30
and their Zionist partners caused it.
48:33
Oh boy.
48:38
What's the spread between Brent WTI and on and on?
48:43
Oh, about what about crude and Brent?
48:45
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes.
48:47
But let me tell you something.
48:49
Let's just take some other facts.
48:53
Listen to the dependence that Asia.
48:56
Remember, most of the world's semiconductors come from one place, Taiwan, and most of the world's electronics and a lot of technology come from what I'm about to talk about.
49:07
Japan imports almost 90% of its oil through the Hormouse.
49:12
South Korea, 75%, Taiwan, 70%, India, 50%, China, 35%, Thailand, 40%, Singapore, 35%, Indonesia, 30.
49:22
The Chinese, it's stunning to me.
49:27
30 to 35%, they've allowed this to take place.
49:33
I understand the rest of these Western influence fools because they listen to Rachel Maddow and CNN.
49:39
Oh, I don't want to, I want to decarbonize and I want to use electric vehicles.
49:42
The Chinese could care less.
49:46
Call me dumbfounded that the Chinese have allowed this to take place.
49:54
90% of the oil exported through the Strait of Hormuz, according to international.
50:00
Energy Agency is destined for Asian markets.
50:08
China and India.
50:10
Remember, these are Asia's largest energy consumers.
50:14
Rely on this.
50:17
Now the world is looking at two pipelines to save them.
50:22
Two pipelines.
50:25
Anybody want to think maybe you should build 200 pipelines?
50:30
The first is Saudi Arabia's East West Pipeline Network with a design capacity of 7 million barrels per day connecting Abcock on the kingdom's eastern Gulf Coast to the port of Yanbu on the Red Sea.
50:43
And the Houthis can shut that down.
50:46
The second smaller pipeline is UAE's Abu Dhabi crude oil pipeline Tavajari, estimated to handle 1.5 million barrels per day.
50:56
Do the math.
50:58
8.5 to 19 barrels, 20 million barrels, who everyone to believe.
51:03
Taken together, energy analysts say, yep, great, you can offset a little bit of the 20 million.
51:10
But what happens when the Iranians decide to attack that?
51:17
I love this.
51:19
Energy crisis reveal priorities with brutal clarity.
51:23
I would tell you life and death clarity.
51:25
When prices spike or supplies tighten governments do not turn to wind turbines or solar panels or electric vehicles or storage systems for emergency relief.
51:36
They turn to stockpiled hydrocarbons.
51:39
Across Asia, governments have already begun implementing conservation measures designed to reduce energy demand.
51:47
Well, let me tell you what's even worse than all this is um fertilizers and plastic supply prices.
51:55
Wait a minute, I thought we didn't need plastic anymore.
51:57
No, you voted for Democrats foolishly in places like New York City with the fool who runs that place and the deeply evil Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass and the rest of the Democratic Party that knows that is turned into a bunch of radical Jacobins who want you to die.
52:20
So let's just get some facts out here about food.
52:23
If you if you first need some water, and the Iranians can bomb every single desalinization plant and thrust the entire Middle East to death within a week if they wanted to.
53:48
Fertilizer production depends heavily on natural gas, and the Gulf possesses abundant gas supplies.
53:55
The Middle East accounts for approximately 24% of global sulfur production and sulfur is the feedstock for sulfuric acid used across the nickel, copper, and fertilizer supply chains.
54:09
Sulfuric acid is a key input in manufacturing phosphate fertilizers used worldwide, used worldwide.
54:27
Because it's so obvious.
54:32
Every environmentalist now, I don't believe a word you say.
54:37
The Democratic Party is gone.
54:41
You want to believe in global warming and climate change, go right ahead.
54:44
You want to believe in an energy transition, net zero decarbonization, go right ahead.
54:59
Go right ahead.
55:03
Knock yourself out.
55:05
Doesn't matter.
55:07
Previous episode I said, do you think Israel was going to allow Iran to get a bomb?
55:13
No.
55:15
They'll use their own bombs on them.
55:17
Okay.
55:18
Do you think Iran was never going to use a bomb or shut down the Strait of Hormuz and begin to make themselves to recreate the Persian Empire again?
55:31
These problems can be solved.
55:34
They're just not, it's not something you want to think about.
55:37
I would all of my listeners, please go listen.
55:40
Um, everybody on this platform, go read, pardon me, go read Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut.
55:46
It's awful, it's horrible, it's evil.
55:49
Um, I have such deep empathy for that man for what he had to witness in Dresden.
55:54
Ultimately, it's one of the reasons you broke the will of the Nazi, the Nazis.
56:00
You had to, you had to burn them down.
56:04
If you think you are going to um dissuade the military, the police forces, the RGC, the Ayatollahs, these are radical evil Islamists who only understand force.
56:21
They don't care about gay rights, FEMA rights, religious imperialism, free speech.
56:28
They could care less.
56:29
They understand the economics and what I'm reading, and they understand the end of a barrel of a gun or brutality.
56:40
That's all they understand.
56:42
It's been a tough show today.
56:44
It's been tough for me to talk about this.
56:46
But my name is Todd Royal.
56:48
I'm the host of Geopower, Energy, and Real Politics.
56:52
I want to say thank you for listening and God bless.
