Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: Ready to break the narrative, get the real story with
- 0:13Speaker 1: no filters and no apologies, cut through the noise, with
- 0:16Speaker 1: real conversation, real conviction, and real news. It's time for
- 0:21Speaker 1: truth without spin.
- 0:23Speaker 2: It's the Alex Marlow Show. You got a really busy one.
- 0:26Speaker 2: Today is a hot, hot news day, and we're going
- 0:29Speaker 2: to get into all the latest with the proposed peace
- 0:32Speaker 2: steal with Iran that's just come down. I'll give you
- 0:35Speaker 2: all the details. They're probably more detail than you're going
- 0:37Speaker 2: to get it just about anywhere else. I'm also going
- 0:40Speaker 2: to talk about some of the California governor's race where
- 0:44Speaker 2: there was a debate last night. It went off the
- 0:47Speaker 2: rails a number of points. We'll play some highlights and
- 0:49Speaker 2: i'll tell you what I think is the real story
- 0:50Speaker 2: in the La mayoral race as well. That's coming up
- 0:53Speaker 2: later in the show. Plus a heck of a lot more,
- 0:56Speaker 2: including EPA administrator Lee Zelden, who's one of the I
- 0:59Speaker 2: would say most of people in Trump's cabinet. Let's talk
- 1:02Speaker 2: though about what's been proposed. Earlier today we got news.
- 1:06Speaker 2: A lot of this reporting was from the President himself,
- 1:09Speaker 2: others from Axios. More from the Jerusalem Post as well,
- 1:13Speaker 2: that the US and Iran are closing in on a
- 1:15Speaker 2: one page memo that could potentially end the war. So,
- 1:20Speaker 2: a one page memo that includes a memorandum that would
- 1:25Speaker 2: have understanding that Iran would stop developing nuclear enrichmond for
- 1:29Speaker 2: fifteen years. I think fifteen's a good number. I think
- 1:31Speaker 2: that anything over twenty would have been an unrealistic ask
- 1:34Speaker 2: and is sort of like an infinity amount of number.
- 1:37Speaker 2: This is where I always criticize the climate change people
- 1:40Speaker 2: who suggest that, well, if we don't act now, that
- 1:44Speaker 2: by twenty eighty nine, we're all going to be dead.
- 1:47Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, well, certainly everyone having this conversation is
- 1:49Speaker 2: going to be dead. And that's the whole point, is
- 1:51Speaker 2: that we're never going to get the answer this question.
- 1:53Speaker 2: So it's one of these things where I felt like
- 1:55Speaker 2: twenty years would be the target. Fifteen seems pretty good.
- 1:58Speaker 2: Iran would sive a bunch of money in frozen funds,
- 2:00Speaker 2: which I'm comfortable with, so long as we are able
- 2:03Speaker 2: to monitor that the enrichment's not taking place, which I
- 2:07Speaker 2: trust Trump to do this. I did not trust Obama
- 2:09Speaker 2: to do this. I don't trust the IAEA or the
- 2:12Speaker 2: UN to do this, but Donald Trump and his government
- 2:15Speaker 2: I used to trust him to come up with something
- 2:17Speaker 2: where we could monitor this and to make sure that
- 2:19Speaker 2: the money is not going to tear a proxies in
- 2:21Speaker 2: the region, which again is very tough to do, but
- 2:23Speaker 2: if anyone can do it, I trust President Trump Secretary
- 2:26Speaker 2: Vesent to keep an eye on those sorts of things,
- 2:28Speaker 2: and so perhaps we could be on the verge of
- 2:31Speaker 2: some sort of a piece. But Iran now has forty
- 2:34Speaker 2: eight hours to sign this memorandum, and if they don't
- 2:37Speaker 2: do this, Trump has said these are going to bomb
- 2:39Speaker 2: them to high heavens at a much higher level was
- 2:42Speaker 2: his exact quote. So this is on the table. We
- 2:45Speaker 2: got forty eight hours. Other details that you need to
- 2:48Speaker 2: know from this is that now Project Freedom, which I
- 2:51Speaker 2: discussed in great detail on shows earlier in the week,
- 2:54Speaker 2: is on temporary pause. US operation to secure chips passage
- 2:58Speaker 2: through the Strait of War moves is on pause for
- 3:01Speaker 2: forty eight hours, as the President's sites great progress towards
- 3:04Speaker 2: a peace US naval blockade remains in full effect. Trump
- 3:09Speaker 2: has warned that if the agreement does not take place,
- 3:11Speaker 2: a much higher level and intensity than before bombing will
- 3:14Speaker 2: take place. If the deal is reached, the blockade would
- 3:17Speaker 2: allow the straight to reopen to all traffic, including to Iran.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Pakistan President Shaba Sharif, who's been helping with the negotiations,
- 3:25Speaker 2: has commended Trump for his courageous decisions. Say, we made
- 3:29Speaker 2: a big step towards peace, and a lot of shipping
- 3:32Speaker 2: industry people are actually surprised by how quickly this is
- 3:36Speaker 2: coming together, which is all perhaps a positive. So other
- 3:40Speaker 2: things that we're looking at is the specifics of the
- 3:45Speaker 2: proposed moratorium. Iran proposed five, US proposed twenty. We're looking
- 3:49Speaker 2: at twelve to fifteen years. I think fifteen is the
- 3:52Speaker 2: real number. Iran can enrich only to levels of three
- 3:55Speaker 2: point sixty seven percent during this moratorium, which is there
- 3:58Speaker 2: at sixty percent enrichment, So this is well below weapons grade.
- 4:02Speaker 2: If that's the number, they can never pursue nuclear weapons.
- 4:05Speaker 2: That's their commitment, and I guess so I guess they
- 4:08Speaker 2: can't pursue for fifteen years, but also never. This is
- 4:10Speaker 2: my whole point is that once you get it past
- 4:12Speaker 2: a certain timeline, it's just it's not realistic. We'll have
- 4:15Speaker 2: to revisit it in a decade's time. No weaponization activities,
- 4:19Speaker 2: no operation of underground nuclear facilities, enhance UN inspections. I
- 4:24Speaker 2: hope the US is a big part of this, but
- 4:25Speaker 2: we're part of the UN, so maybe we can do
- 4:27Speaker 2: some good with it. And the removal of highly enriched uranium.
- 4:30Speaker 2: This is also a very big thing that I had
- 4:33Speaker 2: noted from the very start, and in fact, people were
- 4:36Speaker 2: laughing at me on the BBC when I was saying
- 4:37Speaker 2: this that we're just gonna have to go in and
- 4:40Speaker 2: get the uranium. And so now it looks like that's
- 4:42Speaker 2: exactly what's going to take place. So this is all
- 4:45Speaker 2: highly positive, and it also lays out a predicate that
- 4:48Speaker 2: if Trump feels like it's necessary to continue the bombing,
- 4:51Speaker 2: then now he's got reason to do it. So a
- 4:53Speaker 2: ron's got fort eight hours to react to this thing.
- 4:55Speaker 2: They're gonna have to make a reasonable counter offer or
- 4:58Speaker 2: they're gonna have to sign this thing. These signs of thing,
- 5:00Speaker 2: this could be a truly historic moment. But if it's
- 5:03Speaker 2: a one page memo to be fairly easy to understand
- 5:05Speaker 2: and recall, one of my beasts with what's going on
- 5:08Speaker 2: right now is that I'm not seeing the salesmanship is
- 5:12Speaker 2: not at the level that I would have liked from
- 5:14Speaker 2: President Trump and his team, even though it's very tough
- 5:17Speaker 2: to sell when all of the anti war maga media
- 5:20Speaker 2: hates this thing, when everyone who hates Trump, all the
- 5:23Speaker 2: never Trumpers hate this thing, when all of the Democrat
- 5:26Speaker 2: left hates this war as well. It just does feel
- 5:29Speaker 2: as though that this was a it was always gonna
- 5:32Speaker 2: be a tough sell, but we did not do a
- 5:35Speaker 2: great job on selling this from the start. But now
- 5:38Speaker 2: we have a chance, if a piece is forged, to
- 5:40Speaker 2: sell this as something that's truly historic. And I think
- 5:43Speaker 2: that's great. Okay, I promised you I would give you
- 5:45Speaker 2: some other nuance and detail that I think is a
- 5:48Speaker 2: major factor here. And so here's some other things that
- 5:50Speaker 2: we're tracking at Brightbart News that I think is noteworthy.
- 5:53Speaker 2: One of the I think X factors in why we
- 5:56Speaker 2: could get to a piece here is because of China.
- 5:59Speaker 2: China is of course basically a benefactor, basically a RAN's benefactor,
- 6:04Speaker 2: and doing business with China is how Iran stays in
- 6:07Speaker 2: business largely, and Chinese and Iranian foreign ministers have met
- 6:10Speaker 2: in Beijing, and the message out of China is crystal
- 6:13Speaker 2: clear that they want this thing to end China's economy
- 6:16Speaker 2: is in a terrible spot right now, and it has
- 6:18Speaker 2: been for myriad reasons since the pandemic. This is part
- 6:22Speaker 2: of why the obsessive of China talk that we've been
- 6:24Speaker 2: putting forward to Breitbart for the past you know, six
- 6:27Speaker 2: eight years is kind of waited a little bit. We're
- 6:29Speaker 2: always talking about China, but they're just not ascending. They're
- 6:31Speaker 2: not ascending right now, and so this is not helping them.
- 6:35Speaker 2: So they want this thing to end. Whether or not
- 6:38Speaker 2: they think America is the bad guy or Ron's the
- 6:40Speaker 2: bad guy, are both, that's sort of irrelevant. Their economy
- 6:43Speaker 2: can't handle this sort of disruption, and so Chinese state
- 6:46Speaker 2: media is trying to make it seem like Iran and
- 6:50Speaker 2: China are connecting over their hatred of America. But overall,
- 6:54Speaker 2: if you really look between the lines here, they want
- 6:56Speaker 2: this freedom of navigation and free trade through the Straight
- 7:00Speaker 2: as soon as possible, and they feel like Iran has
- 7:02Speaker 2: failed to come up with any sort of acceptable deal.
- 7:05Speaker 2: So it's clear to me from my read in deep
- 7:08Speaker 2: analysis that we do a bright part of China state
- 7:11Speaker 2: media that read between the lines that they want this
- 7:13Speaker 2: thing to wrap up very quickly and they want to
- 7:17Speaker 2: do this, probably before Trump visits. Trump is heading to
- 7:20Speaker 2: China very soon, and it's just a matter of days now,
- 7:23Speaker 2: I think, and they want to be able to have
- 7:25Speaker 2: a piece and be able to take some credit, which
- 7:28Speaker 2: they might be able to do so I think really noteworthy.
- 7:31Speaker 2: And a underlying thing here that could actually pressure Iran
- 7:34Speaker 2: into a piece is the China of it all. As
- 7:37Speaker 2: is so often the case, Pakistan saying we're close to
- 7:40Speaker 2: a deal, and some people in the White House are
- 7:42Speaker 2: also saying that I spoke to earlier, are saying we
- 7:44Speaker 2: really are close to a deal. They don't want a
- 7:47Speaker 2: bomb anymore. I don't know if that's true, if that's
- 7:49Speaker 2: just what they're telling me, even though I'm friendly with
- 7:50Speaker 2: these people. Maybe they're telling me that because I'm in media.
- 7:53Speaker 2: But overall, there does seem like everyone does feel like
- 7:56Speaker 2: this could be it, that they don't want a bomb anymore,
- 7:59Speaker 2: and the bombs are just threat. So I don't know
- 8:00Speaker 2: if that's true, and I don't know if maybe Trump
- 8:03Speaker 2: has got his finger on the trigger right now. But
- 8:05Speaker 2: everything that's being sold to me, both from the Pakistanis
- 8:08Speaker 2: and from our own White House is that this really
- 8:13Speaker 2: could be it. So we got high hopes that this
- 8:15Speaker 2: is truly the beginning of the end. But everything I'm
- 8:18Speaker 2: looking at is suggesting that no one wants to do
- 8:20Speaker 2: any more bombing at this point, and a lot of
- 8:24Speaker 2: the gas prizes need to get back to normal. Talk
- 8:26Speaker 2: is worldwide at this point, So this is sort of
- 8:29Speaker 2: I think, where we're at at this time. It is
- 8:33Speaker 2: very hopeful news, by far, the most hopeful news that
- 8:36Speaker 2: we've seen in a while. And President Trump, I think
- 8:39Speaker 2: has got the right approach, which he's upbeat, but he's
- 8:42Speaker 2: also saying that if you don't come to the table here,
- 8:44Speaker 2: then this is it. This is you're going to get bombed,
- 8:47Speaker 2: and we're going to do this again. So you agree
- 8:50Speaker 2: or we're bombing. And that's where we're at, and for us,
- 8:53Speaker 2: I think it is a very it's an optimistic moment,
- 8:57Speaker 2: and it is a chance for Trump to clear a victory,
- 9:01Speaker 2: and I think that this is one where he needs
- 9:04Speaker 2: a victory politically, and I think it's also one where
- 9:06Speaker 2: a lot of people who were not doomers here I
- 9:10Speaker 2: think that they're going to be looking very good if
- 9:12Speaker 2: this really is the end, And that includes me and
- 9:15Speaker 2: a lot of my colleagues here at Salem, and my
- 9:16Speaker 2: colleagues are bright part as well. Let's play cut twenty one.
- 9:18Speaker 2: This was Trump in the Oval office. This was so
- 9:21Speaker 2: unbelievable that he said this, you're gonna be if you
- 9:23Speaker 2: miss the visuals, you're not gonna get this because he's
- 9:25Speaker 2: surrounded by children. But play cut twenty one, guys, and.
- 9:28Speaker 3: Now we're going to take a hit because we have
- 9:31Speaker 3: to make a journey down to a Ran to take
- 9:33Speaker 3: the nuclear weapon. They would have had a nuclear weapon
- 9:36Speaker 3: and within two weeks, so remember we sent that beautiful
- 9:39Speaker 3: Beat two bomber in and we blew up their nuclear potential.
- 9:45Speaker 4: It was obliterated.
- 9:47Speaker 2: He's telling these kids that in two weeks, you guys
- 9:49Speaker 2: might have been dead. And I got to tell you something.
- 9:51Speaker 2: He's not entirely coming out of left field with that one.
- 9:54Speaker 2: I've been saying it. That's why the nuclear faret was
- 9:56Speaker 2: such a big deal. And I was legitimately worried for
- 9:59Speaker 2: my kids safety, which is why I never bought that
- 10:02Speaker 2: dismantling arounsing their capabilities. I always bought that it was
- 10:05Speaker 2: America first. So with these uncertain times where you don't
- 10:09Speaker 2: know where to get information and you don't know what
- 10:11Speaker 2: is the best thing to do. The best thing you
- 10:13Speaker 2: can do, in my opinion, to protect your wealth and
- 10:15Speaker 2: your savings is to look at precious medals. Global financial
- 10:19Speaker 2: chaos has become more common. That's why I got educated
- 10:22Speaker 2: about the US dollar, about how massive government money printing
- 10:25Speaker 2: balloon dard inflation in our debt almost forty trillion dollars.
- 10:30Speaker 2: And I've got the best partners in the game in this.

- 11:58Speaker 2: have a big news right now? Is Ted Turner passed away?
- 12:00Speaker 2: Ted Turner is the founder of CNN, Turner Broadcasting a
- 12:04Speaker 2: lot of other networks as well. A maverick mogul. Is
- 12:07Speaker 2: how he's being described he had a long life. I
- 12:10Speaker 2: think it was in his late eighties. Doing the exact
- 12:12Speaker 2: date in front of me. I'll say a lot of
- 12:14Speaker 2: negative stuff in one positive thing. It's not classy to
- 12:17Speaker 2: speak ill to dead, but I will know that he
- 12:19Speaker 2: was a far left radical. He called Israeli's terrorist. He
- 12:22Speaker 2: bought all the climate change nonsense, and then some loved abortions,
- 12:25Speaker 2: didn't seem to like Christians, made mock Christians. And he
- 12:29Speaker 2: won to curb population growth, which is the main thing
- 12:32Speaker 2: that where I really feel like, that's where I feel
- 12:34Speaker 2: like it's okay to not just lavish praise on a guy,
- 12:39Speaker 2: because if you wanted population growth curb, that's to me
- 12:42Speaker 2: very lightly. It's not a very long plot from there
- 12:46Speaker 2: to just flat out genocide. So exactly the type of
- 12:49Speaker 2: guy you would not want to be president, even though
- 12:51Speaker 2: he considered being president, and he ran cable news outlets.
- 12:55Speaker 2: And I will say this though, that is positive, is
- 12:57Speaker 2: that the guy was a high energy person and quite
- 13:00Speaker 2: funny and very motivated. And I do love this quality
- 13:04Speaker 2: in people, and this is something where we all it
- 13:07Speaker 2: always resonates with us when people go out and do
- 13:09Speaker 2: stuff and they get stuff done, and they accomplish things,
- 13:11Speaker 2: even if those things sometimes end up not being helpful
- 13:14Speaker 2: to society, like CNN, but overall that is something that
- 13:18Speaker 2: we want more people who actually take action. And this
- 13:21Speaker 2: is what I'm finding in my personal life that the
- 13:23Speaker 2: people who resonate with me are not always the people
- 13:26Speaker 2: who I agree with. It is the people who take action.
- 13:28Speaker 2: And I will say that's not something that I come
- 13:30Speaker 2: to as I was older. This is something that is
- 13:32Speaker 2: always I've always been drawn to people who take action
- 13:36Speaker 2: my entire life, and it certainly was a man of action,
- 13:38Speaker 2: and so I'll give him credit for that, though almost
- 13:40Speaker 2: never got one right politically, and cnn is legacy is
- 13:43Speaker 2: absolutely horrific. But still God rest his soul.
- 13:47Speaker 4: Okay.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Next thing that I wanted to bring up yesterday was
- 13:50Speaker 2: a governatorial debate in California, and it's really interesting to
- 13:54Speaker 2: track some of this stuff, not because this applies to
- 13:56Speaker 2: my entire audience, because some of you have given up
- 13:59Speaker 2: on Calorgnian is a lost cause. We have a couple
- 14:01Speaker 2: of decent Republican candidates, particularly my friend Steve Hilton over
- 14:05Speaker 2: there as well, but I think some of the texture
- 14:08Speaker 2: of the race is really kind of what's unbelievable to people,
- 14:11Speaker 2: because these we've got some of the nuttiest figures on
- 14:16Speaker 2: the planet who think they should be the governor of California.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Let's play cut eighteen.
- 14:19Speaker 4: Please.
- 14:20Speaker 2: This is Katie Porter, former congresswoman. This is just pretty wild,
- 14:24Speaker 2: play this one.
- 14:25Speaker 5: Congresswoman Porter, your thoughts on the idea of funding healthcare
- 14:29Speaker 5: for undocumented immigrants statewide?
- 14:32Speaker 6: Yes, yes, and that's, by the way, what I think
- 14:36Speaker 6: Californians deserve.
- 14:39Speaker 2: So she wants to continue to fund illegal aliens, which
- 14:42Speaker 2: is just a green light for every person to come
- 14:44Speaker 2: here and get state of the art medical care in
- 14:46Speaker 2: the United States. And I say this from port of authority, missus.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Doctor Marlowe treated lots of undocumented immigrants during her training
- 14:52Speaker 2: out here in California and treating illegal aliens and giving
- 14:56Speaker 2: them really high quality care. She was in the UCLA
- 15:00Speaker 2: treating these people. And because we treat people decently and humanly,
- 15:04Speaker 2: it's just a total green light for everyone just to
- 15:06Speaker 2: just flood into our country and into our state which
- 15:09Speaker 2: is completely bankrupt as running a record now level deficit,
- 15:13Speaker 2: even though we had a surplus when Gavin Newsom took over,
- 15:16Speaker 2: and her policy is just to make things more expensive
- 15:19Speaker 2: for the taxpayers because the legal aliens are not paying
- 15:21Speaker 2: for this stuff. So this just means we don't have
- 15:23Speaker 2: a budget for this because we're over budget anyway, and
- 15:26Speaker 2: we have the highest tax rate in the nation by mile.
- 15:29Speaker 2: So there's no other solution to this other than she's
- 15:31Speaker 2: going to raise taxes. But this is the whole thing,
- 15:34Speaker 2: is that they care more about illegal aliens than they
- 15:36Speaker 2: care about citizens. Let's see what Tom Steyer, who is
- 15:40Speaker 2: another Democrat candidate who could win and cut nineteen please,
- 15:43Speaker 2: let's see how he answers the same question.
- 15:45Speaker 5: Governor Gavin Newsom cut healthcare funding for undocumented immigrants to
- 15:50Speaker 5: address a budget gap as governor, would you restore that funding?
- 15:55Speaker 3: I believe everybody in California has a right to healthcare.
- 16:01Speaker 2: Everyone has a right, meaning that if you just show
- 16:02Speaker 2: up here, you have a right to get state of
- 16:04Speaker 2: the art, government funded care. And that's something that's completely unaffordable.
- 16:08Speaker 2: And this is the thing I want to track, and
- 16:09Speaker 2: I'll come back to this later on in the show.
- 16:11Speaker 2: But the solution that the left has, the Democrats have
- 16:14Speaker 2: for every single one of their problems at this point
- 16:16Speaker 2: in time, is more of the stuff that has not worked.
- 16:19Speaker 2: Part of the reason why the state is struggling so
- 16:21Speaker 2: much is that we left the border open and we
- 16:23Speaker 2: promised all the people who got here all of this
- 16:26Speaker 2: stuff that we could not afford. It's not realistic. It's
- 16:28Speaker 2: making the Stakeo bankrupt. It's making the most wealthy, most
- 16:31Speaker 2: productive people want to leave. And it's just one of
- 16:33Speaker 2: these things where no one pushes back on the Democrats side,
- 16:36Speaker 2: and they got the monopoly out here. Sad stuff. All right.
- 16:38Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I've been doing lately for my health.
- 16:40Speaker 2: I've been on a big workout kick. You guys been checking out.
- 16:44Speaker 2: The jaw line on the show is getting a little
- 16:45Speaker 2: better a little bit. But I'll tell you I got
- 16:48Speaker 2: a secret. My secret is that when I'm done, I
- 16:51Speaker 2: use photo biomodulation red light therapy. SunPower LED is the
- 16:55Speaker 2: company I trust. You guys know I've had Tom Kerber
- 16:58Speaker 2: and the show a number of times. Super smart. I've
- 17:00Speaker 2: been doing this stuff for two decades. Red light therapy
- 17:02Speaker 2: is not just a trend. This is a stuff that
- 17:04Speaker 2: he's been working on for two decades of his life.
- 17:07Speaker 2: It is drug free, it's pure maha. There's no doctor
- 17:10Speaker 2: visits they'ren't getting hooked on drugs. What it does do
- 17:12Speaker 2: is for me anti inflammatory, and it works on pain
- 17:16Speaker 2: that I've got my knee and my lower back. It
- 17:18Speaker 2: is just using near infrared light and it's providing energy
- 17:22Speaker 2: into my cells that relieves a lot of pain and
- 17:24Speaker 2: it allows mark for my recovery to get better. You
- 17:26Speaker 2: could use for arthritis, joint pain, muscle aches all over.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Dentists use this stuff. People who have traumatic brain injuries
- 17:33Speaker 2: use this stuff. It's really amazing technology. Go to sunpowerled
- 17:36Speaker 2: dot com I use just send to the super Palm

- 17:52Speaker 2: off some days? Well, maybe it is more to do
- 17:55Speaker 2: with what's missing from your diet than what you're adding
- 17:58Speaker 2: to it. We talk a lot about cutting things out sugar,
- 18:02Speaker 2: processed foods, junk, toxins, whatever, but maybe you're not getting
- 18:06Speaker 2: enough of something. Whole foods contain phyto nutrients, natural plant
- 18:11Speaker 2: compounds that your body uses every day to function properly.
- 18:14Speaker 2: And let's be honest, most of us are probably not
- 18:16Speaker 2: eating They recommended ten servings of produce today, I don't
- 18:19Speaker 2: think I am. That's why one of the best options
- 18:22Speaker 2: on the market is Balance of Nature. They've got a
- 18:25Speaker 2: vacuum cold process that helps stabilize with phyto nutrients, so
- 18:29Speaker 2: you're getting the benefit of real fruits and vegetables and
- 18:31Speaker 2: you're getting in a capsule form. I love their whole
- 18:34Speaker 2: health system with fruits and veggies plus fiber and spice,
- 18:38Speaker 2: forty seven ingredients of whole food nutrition. That's the best
- 18:42Speaker 2: kind of nutrition. And their freeze dried snacks are a
- 18:44Speaker 2: great option too. If you're ready to fight phyt the
- 18:48Speaker 2: good fight. Fight. You know, they have a play on
- 18:51Speaker 2: word in here. It doesn't come through perfectly on radio,

- 19:08Speaker 7: As a member of Congress, Loper Bright says that we
- 19:10Speaker 7: as an agency don't have the authority to get creative
- 19:14Speaker 7: if Section two two of the Clean Era no, no,
- 19:17Speaker 7: but you.
- 19:17Speaker 6: Don't have excuse me, You do not have the right
- 19:20Speaker 6: to say climate change does not exist, that it's a hoax,
- 19:23Speaker 6: and that's where this administration.
- 19:25Speaker 4: You're upset that you don't know what Loper Bright is.
- 19:27Speaker 4: Do you know what the major policies doctrine?
- 19:29Speaker 7: Except I'm upset because you know what the major policies
- 19:31Speaker 7: doctrine is.
- 19:32Speaker 4: No, you're a member of Congress. You should know.
- 19:36Speaker 6: That's act.
- 19:36Speaker 8: I love that STUFFA administrator Lee's Alvin is with me,
- 19:39Speaker 8: rois and enjoy when he's on the show. And I
- 19:42Speaker 8: love the exchange with Congressman Rosa de Lario, who is
- 19:45Speaker 8: a just a walking caricature of the worst literal blue
- 19:48Speaker 8: haired congressman that you could picture.
- 19:50Speaker 2: And Administrator you and a busy week on Capitol Hill.
- 19:53Speaker 2: I want to get to all that some of these
- 19:55Speaker 2: exchanges that you had a couple of interesting ones that
- 19:57Speaker 2: are worth highlighting. But you did something that I think
- 20:00Speaker 2: is I had to do the squinty thing with my
- 20:03Speaker 2: eyes from old timy cartoons where I rubbed my eyes
- 20:06Speaker 2: and stare into the screen. When I saw that you're
- 20:09Speaker 2: proposing a roughly fifty percent budget cut for the EPA,
- 20:14Speaker 2: which I find unbelievable. No one cuts their own budget
- 20:17Speaker 2: in Washington. I got a grin on my face because honestly,
- 20:20Speaker 2: you're probably the first person ever do this, and I
- 20:23Speaker 2: just find this to be sensational. Just as a lead in.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Right before I brought you on, I was playing clips
- 20:27Speaker 2: in California the governatorial debate yesterday, and they want more
- 20:32Speaker 2: money for illegal alien healthcare, like the state's going bankrupt already,
- 20:35Speaker 2: and that's their solution. It's just why do you think
- 20:39Speaker 2: you can pull this off? And also talk about the
- 20:41Speaker 2: culture of spending in Washington and how you're fighting against that.
- 20:46Speaker 7: Well, first, it's the principle that there needs to be
- 20:49Speaker 7: a zero tolerance policy for any waste and abuse.
- 20:52Speaker 4: It's also the principle of being able to.
- 20:54Speaker 7: Do more with less, and we proved over the course
- 20:59Speaker 7: of our first fifteen months here that we can achieve
- 21:02Speaker 7: extraordinary savings here at the agency. So this is an
- 21:06Speaker 7: agency where annual operating budget when I was coming in
- 21:08Speaker 7: was about ten billion dollars a year, and over the
- 21:11Speaker 7: first year that I was in this position, we saved
- 21:15Speaker 7: thirty billion dollars. Then people say, well, how is that possible.
- 21:17Speaker 7: We got ten billion for the year, how did you
- 21:19Speaker 7: save thirty billion? Well, in twenty twenty four, this agency
- 21:22Speaker 7: obligated and spent over sixty billion dollars, and we were
- 21:27Speaker 7: able to cancel grants and contracts. We did real estate consolidation,
- 21:32Speaker 7: staff efficiencies with an agency wide reorganization. We closed an
- 21:36Speaker 7: EPA museum that nobody knew about or almost no one
- 21:40Speaker 7: even visited there. There have been so many opportunities to
- 21:45Speaker 7: pursue savings, and when you look at those canceled grants,
- 21:48Speaker 7: we were finding examples. Like I had to exchange with
- 21:51Speaker 7: Senator Sanders last week at the Senate EPW Committee where
- 21:54Speaker 7: he was talking about solar for All.
- 21:56Speaker 4: I'm like, Senator, we found it.
- 21:58Speaker 7: We had examples where the grant was going through up
- 22:01Speaker 7: to four different pass throughs, where each pass through entity
- 22:05Speaker 7: was getting at least fifteen percent to administer their part
- 22:10Speaker 7: of the pass through. I mean a lot of this
- 22:12Speaker 7: is just inexcusable. The money that gets appropriated in the
- 22:17Speaker 7: name of environmental justice to remediate environmental issue, but then
- 22:21Speaker 7: the dollar goes to an activist group to train other
- 22:24Speaker 7: activist groups to come to DC and advocate for the
- 22:28Speaker 7: next dollar to go to them to go out and
- 22:29Speaker 7: be activists.
- 22:30Speaker 4: Like wait, I.
- 22:31Speaker 7: Thought we were spending this dollar to remediate an environmental issue.
- 22:35Speaker 7: So yeah, it's about doing more with less, and we
- 22:38Speaker 7: have found extraordinary ways to save the taxpayers tens of
- 22:41Speaker 7: billions of dollars.
- 22:43Speaker 2: It's interesting how a lot of these people who feel
- 22:45Speaker 2: like they really are the champions of climate causes, that
- 22:48Speaker 2: they're comfortable with so much of this money getting absorbed
- 22:52Speaker 2: in bureaucracy. They don't actually want it to go to
- 22:54Speaker 2: the sourced anything. If they were walking the walk, they
- 22:57Speaker 2: would want it to be more efficient, but they don't.
- 22:59Speaker 2: They like the grift of it all. And that's why
- 23:02Speaker 2: I'm curious. Do you feel like you have a good
- 23:04Speaker 2: sense of how to audit where the waste is actually
- 23:07Speaker 2: taking place? And I'll tell you, I don't think we're
- 23:09Speaker 2: going to notice the five billion gone as a people
- 23:12Speaker 2: from the budget.
- 23:15Speaker 7: Yeah, this is something that was an effort that started
- 23:19Speaker 7: before I even came into office. I'm sure you remember
- 23:22Speaker 7: the video from December of twenty four buy it. An
- 23:24Speaker 7: EPA official caught on video talking about how they were
- 23:27Speaker 7: tossing gold bars off the Titanic, rushing to get billions
- 23:32Speaker 7: of dollars out the door before President Trump came to office.
- 23:34Speaker 7: I mean, that was obviously a big siren that was
- 23:37Speaker 7: going off for us.
- 23:39Speaker 4: So when we came in.
- 23:40Speaker 7: This was a top priority out of the gate, and
- 23:43Speaker 7: that is one of the reasons why, if not the
- 23:45Speaker 7: largest reason why, so much of this money was canceled
- 23:49Speaker 7: within the first few months of us being in this position,
- 23:53Speaker 7: and we found entities that were stood up for the
- 23:56Speaker 7: purpose of receiving billions of dollars as a pass through,
- 24:01Speaker 7: where the leadership structure of that entity that was brand
- 24:05Speaker 7: new consisted of former Biden and Obama administration officials and
- 24:10Speaker 7: Democratic donors, and we.
- 24:13Speaker 4: Just put an end to it.
- 24:14Speaker 7: And by the way, I don't sit here and say
- 24:16Speaker 7: let's take money from a left wing ngo and give
- 24:18Speaker 7: it to a right wing ngo. This is about giving
- 24:22Speaker 7: the money to the treasury, giving the money back to
- 24:24Speaker 7: the taxpayer, and just being a precious steward, a steward
- 24:29Speaker 7: of these precious text dollars.
- 24:32Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. Let me go back to exchange with Rosa Delario.
- 24:35Speaker 2: Can you give us more insight into what was going
- 24:37Speaker 2: on in that exchange?
- 24:40Speaker 7: She's asking why we were rescinding the two thousand and
- 24:43Speaker 7: nine Endangerment finding and all of the greenhouse gas emission
- 24:47Speaker 7: standards that followed a light, medium, and heavy duty vehicles.
- 24:50Speaker 7: This is a decision that I finalized with President Trump,
- 24:54Speaker 7: announced with him at the White House, the largest active
- 24:57Speaker 7: deregulation in the history of the United States's asking me,
- 25:00Speaker 7: why did we do that? Well, the answer simple, we're
- 25:03Speaker 7: following the law. We looked at Section two h two
- 25:07Speaker 7: of the Clean Air Act and it doesn't say anything
- 25:09Speaker 7: about fighting global climate change.
- 25:11Speaker 4: And now she is the former chair the House.
- 25:13Speaker 7: Appropriations Committee, she wants to be the next chair of
- 25:16Speaker 7: the House Appropriations Committee, and she's asking me why we
- 25:21Speaker 7: rescinded this decision and all these standards that followed, and
- 25:27Speaker 7: why aren't we fighting global climate change? Well, my messages
- 25:31Speaker 7: amend the law. And it turns out she didn't even
- 25:33Speaker 7: read the law that she was questioning me about. And
- 25:35Speaker 7: then I'm citing the Supreme Court cases that required me
- 25:39Speaker 7: to apply the best reading of the law. Lopra Bright
- 25:43Speaker 7: overturns something that you're familiar with called Chevron Chevron deference,
- 25:47Speaker 7: the Chevron doctrine where in the past, an agency head
- 25:51Speaker 7: would be able to look at a law and say, well,
- 25:53Speaker 7: this law doesn't say that I can't. So therefore, with
- 25:57Speaker 7: the power invested in me, therefore I can't well, that
- 26:01Speaker 7: can't happen anymore. And you and I also cited the
- 26:04Speaker 7: major questions doctrine West Virginia versus EPA, where if the
- 26:09Speaker 7: agency is going to impose trillions of dollars of regulation,
- 26:13Speaker 7: maybe Congress, instead of punting, should have a debate and
- 26:17Speaker 7: a vote. Rather than lacking the will and the courage
- 26:20Speaker 7: to actually amend federal statute, they call their friends down
- 26:24Speaker 7: the street running a federal agency and say, hey, we'll
- 26:26Speaker 7: just do this anyway, even though it's not in statute.
- 26:29Speaker 7: So citing the law, citing Supreme Court decisions, landmark recent
- 26:34Speaker 7: Supreme Court decisions, and it turns out that while she
- 26:37Speaker 7: was asking me about why we made this decision, she
- 26:40Speaker 7: was not familiar with any of it.
- 26:43Speaker 2: Amazing, all right, so I want to You've also had
- 26:45Speaker 2: some pretty entertaining and dramatic exchanges with Sheldon Whitehouse, and
- 26:50Speaker 2: you had a pretty good roast of him saying that
- 26:52Speaker 2: you're not taking morality lessons from people joining all white
- 26:55Speaker 2: country clubs. This has been building up for a little bit.
- 26:58Speaker 2: What's the beef with him?
- 27:01Speaker 7: Well, listen on the policy he was talking. He was
- 27:04Speaker 7: citing a dollar an amount for offshore wind and claiming
- 27:10Speaker 7: that offshore wind is the cheapest form of energy that's
- 27:14Speaker 7: out there, and he's not factoring in the firming cost,
- 27:19Speaker 7: the all in cost, because wind doesn't always blow, you
- 27:21Speaker 7: have to spend a lot of money to store it.
- 27:24Speaker 7: So he's putting out a figure and saying, look, here's
- 27:28Speaker 7: this number. This number is less than these other numbers.
- 27:31Speaker 7: So I guess that means that wind is the cheapest
- 27:34Speaker 7: form of energy, and the reality is is that it's not.
- 27:39Speaker 4: It's just not.
- 27:40Speaker 7: I mean, the gas combined cycle, even before you look
- 27:42Speaker 7: at all in costs, is cheaper. But then when you
- 27:46Speaker 7: factor in all of the other costs of wind, you
- 27:49Speaker 7: then have a number of other forms of energy that
- 27:52Speaker 7: come in at lower cost, and by the way, the cheapest.
- 27:55Speaker 4: Some of the cheapest forms of energy.
- 27:57Speaker 7: That are out there are the reliable, durable baseload power
- 28:02Speaker 7: sources that are already online that they want to shut down.
- 28:06Speaker 7: So you want to start talking economics and costs, how
- 28:10Speaker 7: do you think shutting down all of these coal plants
- 28:14Speaker 7: in West Virginia and Wyoming and North Dakota and elsewhere
- 28:18Speaker 7: that in many states where it's the primary source of power,
- 28:21Speaker 7: shutting down all of these plants putting people out of
- 28:25Speaker 7: work not having access to this energy. How can you
- 28:28Speaker 7: make the argument that this is good for their economy
- 28:32Speaker 7: and you can't. So that's where the back and forth started,
- 28:36Speaker 7: and he wanted to make the point, and his only
- 28:38Speaker 7: question for me on the math was asking me, is
- 28:42Speaker 7: nine less than eighteen? You're trying to be cute like, yeah,
- 28:46Speaker 7: of course nine is less than eighteen, But really, that
- 28:49Speaker 7: is the extent of a substantive debate that you want
- 28:53Speaker 7: to have while you have the head of the EPA
- 28:55Speaker 7: here to be able to push back. He didn't want
- 28:58Speaker 7: to give me an opportunity to get in the space
- 29:00Speaker 7: pacifix because he knew that what he was putting out
- 29:03Speaker 7: was based on lies.
- 29:05Speaker 2: One other thing that you're on with, Secretary Kennedy, is
- 29:08Speaker 2: working on making water safer from microplastics and chemicals. This
- 29:12Speaker 2: is pretty noble. It's trying ney to talk about microplastics.
- 29:16Speaker 2: But I'll tell you, I'm married to a physician. She said.
- 29:19Speaker 2: This is one of the things that she treats cancer
- 29:21Speaker 2: patients and she's very concerned about microplastics. So this is
- 29:25Speaker 2: a worthwhile endeavor. What are you guys doing, Yeah.
- 29:29Speaker 7: We recently announced here at EPA with Secretary Kennedy, that
- 29:33Speaker 7: EPA was adding microplastics to its contaminant candidate list. Now,
- 29:39Speaker 7: we also added pharmaceuticals and pfat and seventy five chemicals,
- 29:44Speaker 7: but microplastics specifically were being added to this list for
- 29:48Speaker 7: the first time ever. At the same time, HHS was
- 29:52Speaker 7: announcing a large investment of funding with regards to microplastics research.
- 30:00Speaker 7: And this is just an unprecedented announcement, unprecedented new effort.
- 30:04Speaker 7: Secretary of Kennedy, as your audience is all familiar with,
- 30:08Speaker 7: Lee is leading this Make America Healthy Again Commission, bringing
- 30:12Speaker 7: together members of the Cabinet and others, and this is
- 30:16Speaker 7: part of that cause of advancing that MAHA movement. Was
- 30:21Speaker 7: here at EPA for the first time ever adding microplastics
- 30:24Speaker 7: as a contaminant on that contaminant candidate list, and we're
- 30:28Speaker 7: happy to do it.
- 30:30Speaker 2: One of the things that I wish I got to
- 30:31Speaker 2: spend more time on on the show is January twenty
- 30:34Speaker 2: twenty six is sewer pipe the Potomac interceptor collapse. Was
- 30:37Speaker 2: anyone we could get to the bottom of this thing.
- 30:39Speaker 2: Two hundred and forty of three hundred million, Guylands of wastewater.
- 30:42Speaker 2: We're talking literal poop just flooding into our Potomac, which
- 30:45Speaker 2: is already kind of gross. Anyway, did we ever get
- 30:47Speaker 2: to the bottom of this and does anyone hell do account.
- 30:52Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 30:52Speaker 7: Well, actually, the Trump administration filed a lawsuit here.
- 30:55Speaker 4: In recent weeks against DC Water.
- 31:00Speaker 7: On top of the first priority was making sure that
- 31:02Speaker 7: we were able to do our part to get it
- 31:05Speaker 7: stopped the flow and the Potomac, to get the repair completed,
- 31:10Speaker 7: to do the environmental remediation. The moment that the DC
- 31:14Speaker 7: mayor made pick up the phone, called the White House
- 31:16Speaker 7: and asked the President for help. The President immediately signed
- 31:19Speaker 7: an emergency declaration. He pointed EPA as the lead federal
- 31:23Speaker 7: agency and the response and we got to work completed
- 31:26Speaker 7: by mid March the repair the Potomac Interceptor and then
- 31:30Speaker 7: moved on to the environmental remediation to make sure that
- 31:33Speaker 7: everything was done in time for the America two fifty festivities.
- 31:37Speaker 7: But yeah, as far as that oversight and accountability, in
- 31:40Speaker 7: recent weeks, we followed a suit against DC Water on
- 31:43Speaker 7: that front.
- 31:44Speaker 2: Epadministrator Liz Eldon, I only got twenty seconds left, But
- 31:47Speaker 2: do you have anything else? Well, I guess I'm probably
- 31:50Speaker 2: I'm setting us up to fail here, so I'm just
- 31:52Speaker 2: going to thank you for your time. Fantastic stuff is always.
- 31:54Speaker 2: Thank you so much for communicating with us at Bright
- 31:56Speaker 2: Barton on The marlow Show, and I'll talk you next
- 31:58Speaker 2: time myself. He's been a great team in the show.

- 32:20Speaker 2: I'll pitch in and they do great work. Definitely one
- 32:22Speaker 2: of those shows I wish I had more than an hour,
- 32:24Speaker 2: but I do have more than an hour. On the
- 32:25Speaker 2: Bright Part podcast feed, the Marlowe podcast feed, in particular,
- 32:29Speaker 2: wherever you get your pods starting to add the video
- 32:31Speaker 2: to certain places like Spotify, you get the video now,
- 32:34Speaker 2: and I think Apple's coming up soon with that. The
- 32:36Speaker 2: United States Counter Terrorism Strategy is out and it is

- 32:47Speaker 2: former we were colleagues at Salem, but I would do
- 32:49Speaker 2: his show a lot when he was here on the
- 32:51Speaker 2: air and this is out, it's fresh. We were doing
- 32:53Speaker 2: a deep dive with him that I'm recording right after this.
- 32:56Speaker 2: I'm also doing just to show my range. We're doing
- 32:58Speaker 2: a big met Gala episode with John Binder, who is

- 33:14Speaker 2: An expert, So a lot to do there, all right.
- 33:18Speaker 2: A couple other news items that I do think that
- 33:20Speaker 2: we need to get to while we've got the time.
- 33:23Speaker 2: One of them is the Haunt of virus, so this
- 33:25Speaker 2: is the Spanish ship. The World Health Organization has confirmed
- 33:29Speaker 2: that there's a rare type of virus that's typically seen
- 33:32Speaker 2: in rats that can go from human to human and
- 33:35Speaker 2: not different from one that you get from rat waste,
- 33:39Speaker 2: but it is something that is most commonly associated with
- 33:42Speaker 2: a virus you get from rat waste. And just like
- 33:45Speaker 2: a lot of cruises, it is not a safe environment
- 33:49Speaker 2: sometimes and it becomes a petri dish incubates a lot
- 33:53Speaker 2: of these viruses. So this is a massive political controversy
- 33:57Speaker 2: because which country is going to receive this ship which
- 34:00Speaker 2: has a bunch of people who are very, very sick
- 34:02Speaker 2: on it. Of course, no one wants a pandemic to
- 34:05Speaker 2: break out. I don't think that's what we're going for now,
- 34:08Speaker 2: but no one wants the ship. And the plan right
- 34:10Speaker 2: now is where do you evacuate these people by helicopter?
- 34:13Speaker 2: But then where do they go? Some are in critical
- 34:16Speaker 2: condition and a lot of hospitals and research university treatment
- 34:20Speaker 2: is just way far behind on this. Pedro Sanchez in
- 34:24Speaker 2: Spain wants to dock it in the Canary Islands, but
- 34:28Speaker 2: nobody the Canary Islands wants the hunt of virus there,
- 34:31Speaker 2: so they don't want this to happen. So he's very
- 34:34Speaker 2: unpopular in Spain anyway. So this is a huge political
- 34:37Speaker 2: mess as well, but is something that we probably aren't
- 34:41Speaker 2: worried about in terms of pandemics spreading the United States.
- 34:44Speaker 2: But you never know, because I'll tell you I track
- 34:46Speaker 2: these diseases at bright part those of you followed me, No,
- 34:48Speaker 2: we are one the top disease and virus outlets period.
- 34:53Speaker 2: I've always had a soft spot for these types of stories,
- 34:56Speaker 2: and it was definitely a call shop. When the pandemic
- 34:58Speaker 2: broke out, We're call it Brightbart. We're reporting on a
- 35:01Speaker 2: mystery pneumonia in China. The solid month before we knew
- 35:06Speaker 2: what the coronavirus was, and we'd ever heard of names
- 35:09Speaker 2: like doctor Burk's and doctor Fauci and all that stuff,
- 35:11Speaker 2: so we were ahead by several weeks on that, and
- 35:13Speaker 2: it became the biggest virus of the last century. So
- 35:18Speaker 2: this is interesting because the potential for something really bad
- 35:22Speaker 2: when the ship docks is huge, and it's going to
- 35:25Speaker 2: have the dock at some point, so the story's only
- 35:27Speaker 2: going to get bigger. And we got some coverage for
- 35:29Speaker 2: you as well. All Right. ADP job numbers, which is
- 35:33Speaker 2: the biggest private payroll processor, were pretty good, not quite.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Expectations of explications were super high. And what was noteworthy
- 35:40Speaker 2: here is that pay for young people twenty four to
- 35:42Speaker 2: thirty four is very high. It's higher than expected and
- 35:46Speaker 2: going up. And this is for the group of people
- 35:49Speaker 2: who've been told their whole lives that climate change is
- 35:51Speaker 2: going to kill them. We're now living in a fascist
- 35:53Speaker 2: country and AI is going to take their job. So
- 35:55Speaker 2: if they can stay alive from climate change, they're going
- 35:58Speaker 2: to be living in a fascist country. The robots are
- 36:00Speaker 2: gunning for their jobs. They're actually seeing pretty good employment
- 36:03Speaker 2: in very high wages relative to what would have been expected.
- 36:09Speaker 2: And yet still the vibes are going to be a
- 36:11Speaker 2: total bummer. And some of this is messaging, and we
- 36:13Speaker 2: got to get the word out the things in this
- 36:14Speaker 2: country are just not that bad. But as the saying
- 36:18Speaker 2: goes in the news, if it bleeds, it leads, and
- 36:21Speaker 2: so we talk so much about the negative stuff, and
- 36:23Speaker 2: there is some positive stuff going on. So in that spirit,
- 36:26Speaker 2: let me talk about some more negative stuff, the crazy
- 36:28Speaker 2: stuff that's going on out in California. I was playing
- 36:32Speaker 2: earlier some clips from the California gubernatorial debate and how
- 36:35Speaker 2: they Democrats still want the illegal aliens to get healthcare
- 36:40Speaker 2: paid for by the taxpayers, even though they have no
- 36:42Speaker 2: money left. This was a fun moment. Let's play cut
- 36:47Speaker 2: A sixteen with Katie Porter.
- 36:50Speaker 6: I can't believe that on a stage with thirty minutes
- 36:55Speaker 6: of interrupting and bickering and name calling and shouting and
- 37:01Speaker 6: disrespect for everyone up here who's stepping into public service
- 37:05Speaker 6: that anyone wants to talk about my temperament.
- 37:11Speaker 2: You were actually interrupting them too. I don't know why
- 37:13Speaker 2: you want.
- 37:13Speaker 5: To act like you weren't.
- 37:15Speaker 7: Oh cowboy, Steve and I sat here smiling at each
- 37:18Speaker 7: other because we're just watching you all prove to everyone
- 37:22Speaker 7: why they can't vote for a Democrat.
- 37:25Speaker 2: That's Chad Bianco Riverside Sheriff. And this is talking about
- 37:28Speaker 2: the nastiest woman all of American politics. You recall her
- 37:30Speaker 2: yelling at staffers to get out of my effing shot.
- 37:33Speaker 2: We played that video that she's someone who melted down
- 37:36Speaker 2: a reporter walking out of interviews. She allegedly dumped a
- 37:39Speaker 2: boiling hot dish of hot mashed potatoes, burning her ex husband.
- 37:44Speaker 2: She's a nasty woman. What else can I say? Go
- 37:46Speaker 2: in peace to love, to serve the love, and serve
- 37:48Speaker 2: the Lord, ladies and gentlemen,
