Affordability and why ‘energy’ is everything! · Cultural Wars | America Out Loud News

Welcome to episode two.
0:15
I am Todd Royal.
0:16
This is our lovely show, geopower and energy and real politics.
0:23
We had a good show last time, but this one I'm especially excited because we're going to talk about affordability.
0:30
That's become a massive buzzword now in the United States.
0:33
And of course, everything has to be Donald Trump's fault.
0:36
So Donald Trump has made everything unaffordable.
0:41
That's what we hear now.
0:42
Everything's unaffordable because of Donald Trump.
0:45
Everything's Donald Trump's fault.
0:47
On and on and on.
0:50
Well, is it?
0:52
Now let's put some things out there that first off, Mom Dami, who we talked about, the new mayor elect of New York City.
0:59
The good people of New York have foolishly elected a socialist, a radical jihadist socialist who's a privileged skyon of wealthy parents, who's never had a real job.
1:11
So what you should really expect of his uh time as mayor is corruption, graft and grift.
1:17
It will be massive amounts of corruption because he'll want to cash in, and he's never held a job.
1:23
So now he's gonna look at this is my time to cash in.
1:26
He won't govern, he won't do anything.
1:29
Your city will only have a downward trajectory.
1:33
And no, New York City's not going away.
1:35
People go, oh my gosh, it's over, it's over.
1:37
You're not going away.
1:39
But what's really happened is let's talk affordability.
1:42
So that's the issue now.
1:44
It's not affordable.
1:45
But here's what I want to do.
1:46
I really want to set this up today.
1:48
And I'm going to go back to a piece that is by uh Tilak Dashi, who I highly recommend anyone read.
1:58
Um you spell his name T I L A K and then Dashi, D-O-S-H-I.
2:04
He is on Substack.
2:06
I would highly, highly recommend to begin to read him.
2:09
He wrote on November 2nd, what I would argue is one of the most important pieces I've read in a long time.
2:15
It's called From Alaska Summit to Sanction Storm, The Turbulent Unraveling of U.S.
2:21
Russia Energy Geopolitics.
2:24
Now you may ask, what does affordability, the socialist radical Islamist from uh New York City?
2:34
What does that have to do with geopolitics?
2:36
It has everything to do.
2:38
But what I'm going to do is I'm going to read a pretty long piece here.
2:42
It's called the Long Arc of Energy Real Politik or real politics or realpolitik.
2:49
What is realpolitik?
2:50
We went over that last week, but let's talk about it again.
2:53
It is the politics of reality.
2:56
Here is what is going to happen.
2:59
But I'm going to read this for you because it makes so much sense about this affordability issue.
3:06
And it's going to make so much sense when I begin to tie together energy and affordability and real politics and geopolitics and how in the world some ridiculous human being is now the mayor of New York, again, who's never had a job.
3:25
You as New Yorkers, how did you go from 9 11 to now some radical Muslim who supports Hamas and is a socialist?
3:33
That's who you support.
3:36
And the Jewish population, that's who you support.
3:39
And oh, for the record, I'm a Jew.
3:42
I don't practice Judaism, but it's on my mother's side.
3:45
And one of the deep just infuriating things now is that Jews are secular and Jews have no religion and they believe they're going to support Palestine and they feel good about themselves supporting someone like Mom Damy.
4:00
But let's get into this issue of affordability, socialism, and what I'm going to call, and what's actually being called here the energy real politics.
4:12
Because it makes full sense of what's going on in the world because remember, energy's everything.
4:18
We've got a guest next week, a gentleman named Doomberg.
4:21
He says energy is life.
4:23
I my term is energy is everything.
4:26
Also, I love the term energy is life as well.
4:28
So here, let me read this to you.
4:30
And just stay with me.
4:32
This is because it's going to really talk about what's going on here.
4:36
What's going on in Ukraine and Russia?
4:38
How does this guy get elected in New York off affordability?
4:41
Why is why now the press?
4:43
Those scum of the earth, quite honestly, in the United States and the West, things like the New York Times, the LA Times, CNN, Le Mon, BBC, the Australian papers, all of these people have no idea about energy real politics.
5:00
So here we go.
5:02
The events since the Alaska summit encapsulate the contradictions that have enveloped President Trump's nine months in power in his second term.
5:11
European and UK leaders insist on their moral posturing.
5:14
That's very important because everything to them, climate change, uh DEI, uh promotion of women.
5:22
Who cares?
5:23
Can you do the job?
5:24
I don't care what the color of your skin is.
5:26
I don't care your sexual orientation.
5:29
I don't care if you're old, young, your body type.
5:34
Can you do the job?
5:36
There's jobs to be done.
5:38
Can you do it?
5:40
So as European and UK leaders insist on their moral posturing, unable to reconcile their rhetoric of climate justice.
5:50
What is that anyway?
5:52
All that really means is take money from rich countries, give them to poor countries.
5:56
So wealthy people like the full socialist scumbag, who's the head of the UN, and Tonio Guterres.
6:05
God bless the Secretary General, and he's had a long career.
6:09
But remember, he is a no, a do nothing socialist who comes up with this crap like climate justice with the material realities of industrial civilization.
6:22
Let's read that again.
6:24
European and UK leaders insist on their moral posturing, unable to reconcile their rhetoric of climate justice with the material realities of the industrial civilization.
6:37
Europe's deindustrializing right now.
6:40
Germany is literally losing their chemical industry, their car industry.
6:46
Four years ago, when they had nuclear plants running and cheap Russian gas, they were the envy of the world.
6:52
China wanted to emulate them.
6:54
The United States, they exported incredible products to the world now because of climate change, which means nothing because of renewables, which don't work, which batteries, which can never power have enough juice to power a modern society.
7:11
The EU, because of climate justice, they're running into what's going on with the realities of industrial civilization.
7:19
And it's not pretty.
7:48
So as opposed to selling it to the EU, which is about 450 million people.
7:54
Now large parts of that population are old.
7:58
They can't do anything anymore.
7:59
Or you've brought in radical, radical immigrants from African and Muslim nations who have zero desire to assimilate, have no skills, are angry, and frankly, are a bunch of Neanderthals that you have brought in because you think somehow you're going to change them into European values.
8:19
You're never going to do it.
8:21
So they claim the imperative, they're going to defeat Russia.
8:25
Trump's instinct to pursue pragmatic engagement with Russia was sound in principle.
8:30
The Alastis, the Alaska summit.
8:33
Economic and energy cooperation is the surest path to peace.
8:37
Peace in your crane.
8:40
But his execution was undone by domestic politics and war hawks in his own administration, as well as by U.S.
8:46
allies in Europe, with significant exceptions like Hungary and Slovakia, Slovakia, pardon me, which refused to dance to the Brussels globalist tune.
8:56
It's so important to understand what this globalist theme is.
8:59
It's gigantic billionaires.
9:02
The only thing these people want, they want to imagine they're God.
9:05
So what they're trying to do is ruin the West, people like George Soros, uh Neville Singham, um, Michael Bloomberg, unfortunately, Warren Buffett has a very bad past, his wife does with billions to abortion providers.
9:22
But what they, you know, Bill Gates, they fancy themselves as gods or the new feudal lords, that the rest of us will just be happy to have our little plot of land in the dirt, and may we, you know, grow some potatoes and vegetables and have a well for water.
9:38
And thank you, my lord.
9:40
Give me a break.
9:42
These globalists run the EU.
9:44
They run the U.S.
9:46
Democratic Party, they run anything against anything of decency.
9:53
Most of these billionaires are not people you ever want to have anything to do with.
9:58
They are horrible people.
10:00
That when they either go into the dustbin of history or the pit of hell, it will be better for everybody.
10:06
So that's what when you talk about a globalist, you're talking about these billionaire-backed governments that want nothing to do for the good of their people, but only the good for that billionaire and that government leader.
10:19
However, President Putin plays the long game.
10:22
He knows that Europe's pledge to wean itself on Russian energy has boomeranged on its executioners.
10:30
Good for the United States.
10:32
We're selling more exported LNG, but it's absolutely killing the Europeans, but you're talking about sometimes double, triple, quadruple what the cost formerly was.
10:44
Good for the good for us, the United States, though.
10:48
Geography and thermodynamics are on Putin's side.
10:51
Even if Brussel cuts direct imports, Russian molecules and a fungible trade will continue to flow through intermediaries.
11:00
It will be refined, rebranded, relabeled in places like India and China.
11:07
But ultimately, this is still Russia.
11:10
It is Russian hydrocarbons.
11:14
The thermodynamics are needed by Europe.
11:16
They will buy it and they will continue to fund his war machine.
11:22
As the proposed Budapest summit collapsed and recrimination and sanctions tighten once more, the world confronts a hard truth.
11:32
Here we go, everyone.
11:34
There can be no stable global energy order without cooperation among its major producers.
11:40
Trump's Alaska initiative for all its flaws, at least recognize this.
11:44
His subsequent retreat under pressure from Washington's hawkish foreign policy establishment in Brussels marks yet another missed opportunity to bridge the East-West divide through shared material interest.
11:58
What that means is Russia has a lot of oil, a lot of gas, a lot of rare earth metals and minerals, American companies, American citizens, bring in the EU.
12:07
They could all work on this together.
12:09
And you could have peace through economic strength.
12:12
And quite honestly, you could begin to confront China and you could begin to more closely align with Russia to take on China.
12:20
If you think China, the Chinese Communist Party, which you could make, you could really make the case is the world's greatest criminal organization since probably the Roman Empire.
12:33
Um the various mobs and cartels and mafias around the world could learn a thing or two from the Chinese communist government.
12:41
They're never going to make peace with the United States.
12:44
They're never going to do anything but try to steal, kill, and destroy the United States and the West and the US-led global liberal-led order that's been in place since World War II.
12:58
They are anti-Christian, they're anti-capitalist.
13:01
They're frankly just anti-let a human being be a human being.
13:05
If you're an atheist or agnostic, like a Bill Mahan want to be left alone, they're anti-that as well.
13:12
They are in to control power, and you will submit and bow to the Chinese Communist Party.
13:20
So when he's talking about we've missed another opportunity to bring to bridge the East-West divide through shared material interests, I would argue, I would argue Mr.
13:30
Dashi is actually saying you're not able to triangulate.
13:43
And here's something important to remember.
13:47
When we talk about the West, you're talking about a billion people.
13:51
If the world's got 8 billion people in it, you're talking about a billion people in the West.
13:58
What's really been kind of running the world since World War II?
14:02
You know, who's really on the UN Security Council?
14:05
It's really the West.
14:08
China has just really begun to kind of bring themselves out of the devastation of World War II and Mao the last 25, 30 years, maybe.
14:18
Russia is kind of same thing.
14:21
They've they from the collapse of communism into this oligarch, authoritarian mob form run of an economy and capitalism in some form.
14:34
They don't have elections.
14:36
They don't have human rights or free speech in Russia, but it works for them.
14:42
Their economy is growing.
14:44
It's an advanced, it's a very advanced country.
14:47
Sure, massive parts of it are going to be third and fourth world.
14:52
But the parts that matter, those are fairly advanced people.
14:56
Go look at Moscow University.
14:58
Go read the Russian propaganda.
15:01
I would actually challenge anybody.
15:03
Go read what the Russians still think about World War II.
15:08
Go look at their military parades.
15:11
These are people that still look at 80 years ago and go, we will never ever have that happen to us again.
15:18
So again, this marks yet another missed opportunity to bridge the East, the East West divide through shared material interest.
15:31
Europe's bureaucrats, meanwhile, continue to legislate against physics, demanding energy without emissions and growth, without natural resources.
15:41
In other words, these idiots think that they can use renewables.
15:45
Please hear me.
15:46
You can go put up a solar panel, a wind turbine, and they're great for if you're living off, you're not using the electrical grid or what's referred to as off-grid.
15:55
Great.
15:55
Put up a turbine, put up a windmill.
15:58
Great.
15:58
You want to put some solar panels on your house, you want to put a Tesla battery.
16:02
You hear this all the time.
16:03
Well, we could do that.
16:04
You cannot run a modern economy off that.
16:08
Oh, and by the way, every single piece of anything that it takes to build a solar panel, an electric vehicle, its battery, and a wind turbine comes from fossil fuels.
16:26
Every single part of it.
16:29
When people say, oh, it's free.
16:31
No, you're talking about the fuel, which is the sun and the wind and the marginal cost.
16:36
Oh, we don't have to put gasoline in our EV.
16:40
Do you understand the amount of manufacturing, mining, refining, processing, moving the earth to get lithium?
16:51
Do you know?
16:52
Go study what it takes to get lithium out of the earth.
16:55
You strip a mine.
16:56
Go look at the lithium triangle in South America.
17:01
And if the fools of COP 30, the global warming conference going on, the faux global warming nonsense in Brazil.
17:09
If you really wanted to solve a problem, and I will lead that charge, go shut down the lithium triangle or actually make those people be environmentally considerate and watch what happens.
17:22
It won't happen.
17:25
So back to the peace.
17:26
The result is predictable.
17:29
Industrial decline.
17:31
The EU is a nothing power now with a rapidly declining economy and no industry, political unrest.
17:42
Just go look at, go walk next to the um the Eiffel Tower right now.
17:48
Go walk next to it.
17:49
Look at the people been let in there.
17:52
What do you think is going to happen when the populist movement runs into the Islamist crazy North African, no morals, no values, and now they're in your country movement.
18:05
Establishment attacks on increasingly popular far right, conservative or populist opposition parties, and a steady erosion of global influence.
18:14
That's a really nice way to put it.
18:17
The European Union is irrelevant.
18:20
I love Europe, been there twice.
18:23
It's wonderful.
18:24
If you've never traveled to Europe, I highly recommend it.
18:27
But make no mistake, the Chinese don't even meet with the head of the EU anymore.
18:33
Ursula Vandaland, they blow her off, they laugh in her face.
18:37
She's a nothing.
18:40
They are nothings.
18:41
You're nothing because you have no economy.
18:44
You have no industry.
18:46
And if you have no industry, how are you going to build all the bullets and the bombs and the planes and the tanks and the uniforms and the night vision goggles and every single thing it takes for a modern for a modern uh warfare military ready or pardon me, warfare-ready military power that the EU says they're going to spend 400 billion on.
19:11
400 billion is a is a beginning.
19:14
You're going to go take on Russia.
19:17
Good luck.
19:18
Go look at the history of the Russians when they are next to their country defending it.
19:25
They fight wars of attrition, and the Russian people are a hard, hardy people who do not look at the death of their soldiers the same way that the West does.
19:38
The Iranians, the North Koreans, none of them do.
19:45
It's your steady erosion of global influence.
19:50
God bless uh Mr.
19:52
Tylik.
19:53
Great job, sir.
19:54
Because that's a very kind way to put it.
19:57
For those who still believe that the West can dictate.
20:00
The terms of global energy exchanges, the past three months offer a stark reminder.
20:05
Now let's talk about energy real politics.
20:08
The world has changed in a multipolar world, multipolar means there's numerous powers.
20:15
It's no longer a unipolar world run by the United States.
20:20
We, the United States, we the West, we now have to consider, and frankly, Secretary Rubio in the first couple of months of the Trump administration talked about this.
20:31
Secretary Rubio talked about we are in a multipolar world.
20:34
We have our sphere of influence, the Western hemisphere.
20:37
So multipolar says the United States is going to stay in the Western hemisphere.
20:43
We're no longer going to try to be a global power.
20:46
In a multipolar world, you have to consider Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Brazil, the BRICS nations, India, South Africa.
20:57
They have they have their own sphere of interest.
21:00
They have their own self-interest rightly understood.
21:05
You have to consider those things.
21:08
There's no more that you don't, that you no longer consider that.
21:34
Do you have natural gas?
21:35
Do you have rare earth metals and minerals?
21:38
Lenin's decades have indeed happened in months, if not weeks.
21:42
And unless Western leaders rediscover the virtues of realism over rhetoric of real politics over hypocritical moralism connected to climate change, climate justice, you know, energy justice, DEI, woke agendas.
22:04
I'm going to use renewables for everything.
22:06
I'm going to shut down coal-fired power plants.
22:09
I'm not going to mine anything anymore.
22:11
I'm going to listen to just oh, they the pit of everything in me hates environmental organizations because they're so anti-human.
22:22
Earth justice, Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity, Foundations like the Ford Foundation, Tides Foundation, the Gates Foundation.
22:35
My gosh, just name the Audubon Society of all people.
22:40
Name the environmental organization.
22:42
They have nothing to do with the environment.
22:44
They have everything to do with control and destroying human beings.
22:48
They are the most anti-God, anti-growth, anti-abundance people.
22:53
They want everything for themselves.
22:56
And I highly recommend Robert Bryce has written wonderful works on this.
23:01
Talks about the billions of billions of dollars per year that these environmental organizations receive from these woke billionaires, these billionaires who want to be gods.
23:13
Michael Bloomberg thinks he's a god.
23:16
No, Mr.
23:17
Bloomberg, you created an incredible product.
23:20
The Bloomberg machine's incredible.
23:22
Your meaty empire, you are to be applauded.
23:25
But no, sir, you are not a god.
23:28
And I will never bow to you nor your people.
23:32
You don't know anything when it comes to energy.
23:36
Or you probably do, but you want to destroy it because you want everything for yourself.
23:41
So this real, you know, they, as opposed to picking real politics, the politics of reality, European leaders, some Republicans and the entire Democratic Party, most of them pick this hypercritical moralism.
23:58
Oh.
24:01
I'll end by this, and then we'll come back in the second half.
24:05
The next few weeks and months may bring decades more of continued Western decline.
24:12
I'm going to come back from the break and let's let's really talk about what that means.
24:17
I'm Todd Royal.
24:19
This is geo, this is geopower, energy, and real politics.
24:23
We're coming back here in the second half.

25:37
Well, I challenge you to find a broad array of great voices, a deeper bench of experience or a more dedicated collection of passionate patriots than here on America Outlaw.
25:54
Now is our time, my fellow Americans, America Outlaw.
26:00
And justice for all.
26:43
Western decline.
27:10
But you have a system that was put together based on Jesus Christ, based upon the Bible, uh, the Magna Carta, Christian philosophers.
27:22
Um democratic capitalism, not democratic socialism.
27:28
What capitalism says is that I can take myself up by the bootstraps.
27:37
It may be hard, but I have a chance.
27:40
Socialism says it what it socialism is just a fancy term for a totalitarianism, authoritarianism, authoritarian, that the government runs everything, totalitarianism.
27:51
There's, you know, a figurehead, a mom dami.
27:54
He likes to say socialism.
27:55
Oh, the government's gonna give everything for free.
27:58
Doesn't work that way, my man.
28:00
Doesn't work that way.
28:01
Or the fancy economic term is means of production.
28:05
Your economy.
28:07
So if the West wants to go down this path, we know what it looks like.
28:11
Um you really want to be Russia?
28:15
Do you growing and thriving, but make no mistake, Vladimir Putin runs everything.
28:20
You want to be Venezuela?
28:22
One point, you know, Venice.
28:23
Did you know that Venezuela has the world's largest economically recoverable oil resources in the world?
28:31
They used to four or five, six billion barrels, six million barrels a day, they're down below a million barrels a day.
28:39
They decided to listen to people like Mamdami or Hugo Chavez.
28:44
May he not be resting in peace.
28:48
And look what's happened to your economy.
28:51
If if the West wants to continue to believe this crap about climate change and global warming when it's not true, sure, we may be warming up a little bit, but it's not because of fossil fuels.
29:07
As I as I've said so many times before, and I'll you'll hear me say it again.
29:12
Before I'm gonna believe that we are uncontrollably warming, somebody has to explain to me, whether you're a creationist or an evolutionist, that there are been times in human history and the earth's history and geological history and climate history, whatever phraseology you want to use, where it has been colder, it has been warmer, and there's been more stuff in the air referred to as PPM parts per million.
29:40
And that was before fossil fuels were used.
29:43
Fossil fuels, the industrial revolution happened around 1850, 1860.
29:50
We're not even 200 years into this.
29:54
Typically, climate changes about every 300 to 500 years.
30:00
Years.
30:02
The climate is not uncontrollably changing because of human beings and fossil fuels.
30:08
That the facts and the data aren't there.
30:10
And I realize people go, oh, you're a denier.
30:12
You don't do the science.
30:14
No, I'd say stick with the scientific method.
30:18
Unprove what I just said to me.
30:20
I dare you.
30:22
They won't.
30:23
So when you talk about the West decline, and you're gonna, you're gonna base it off something that's not true.
30:31
What that means is you're not gonna follow human rights.
30:35
You're not gonna allow for free speech.
30:38
You're not gonna allow for gun ownership.
30:40
You're not gonna allow for private property.
30:41
That's why it's so important in so many ways that you do away with taxing your property.
30:49
Um if you go back to the Torah, if you go back to the Torah, the Bible, Mosaic Law, there was never a tax on somebody's property because it's your property, it's your family's property.
31:00
The state does not lay claim to that.
31:03
Now, I understand in today's world you have to pay for schools and roads, and you have to look at a public good, and you have to go, well, the the cost of a civilized society is taxes.
31:14
I think that's Oliver Wendell Wendell Holmes said that.
31:17
All very true, but let's make no mistake about it.
31:22
We're talking about a system that's been in place for the last 80 years.
31:28
This world war two ends, the Bretton Woods Agreement, the United States and the Allies win, and they go, okay, we're gonna rebuild Japan and Germany, and what we're gonna do is we're all gonna begin to trade with each other.
31:43
We're the US is gonna protect everybody.
31:46
The dollar is going to be how we do international settlements and trades.
31:51
And if I decide to buy soybeans from China or vice versa, that trade's gonna be done in the dollar.
32:00
So we we have a system in place.
32:02
So instead of us blowing each other to hell or dropping nuclear bombs on one another, we're not gonna do that anymore.
32:12
But what you're looking at now, now let's talk affordability.
32:18
If you see the the Western decline, okay, we could talk about social issues, whether you want to talk about gay marriage, abortion, transgenderism, you want to talk about uh credit card debt, you want to talk about people not getting married, not having children, all these different things that have never truly taken place.
32:39
I would actually argue with you.
32:42
While all of those are important, when you look at declines, you know, the family, uh, this kind of rise of this Marxist leftism.
32:51
What you're really looking at, remember, energy is everything.
32:57
The long arc of energy, real politics.
33:01
Energy is everything.
33:02
So if the energy, if the energy is expensive, what do you think is going to happen?
33:11
When you look at New York City right now, they've done a few things.
33:16
Go back and look at what happened during the Obama administration with housing and urban urban development.
33:23
Go look at his uh EPA, which was run by Gina McCarthy, a radical environmentalist.
33:29
They believe that CO2 is harmful, the very thing you breathe out, the thing that's plant food, and that doesn't even make up one percent of uh the atmosphere or the climate.
33:41
They believe is harmful.
33:43
So they said, we're gonna regulate every piece of CO2 that comes out of a power plant, coal, natural gas manufacturing, you name it.
33:52
You just made everything more expensive.
33:56
They believe that, oh, we have to limit housing and put everybody into gigantic apartment buildings, and that's gonna lower emissions.
34:02
Problem of that, it's unfactual.
34:04
Joel Kotkin has done some of the best work around on that.
34:07
Um, if you don't read Joel Kotkin, and Mr.
34:11
Kotkin is uh what he describes himself as a Truman Democrat.
34:15
Um he also does demographics work, which is unbelievable.
34:21
Uh Mr.
34:23
Kotkin is really one of the better analysts going, certainly in California, Mr.
34:28
Kotkin and Ed Ed Ring are the two people I'd recommend if you really want to know what's going on in California, which then will tell you what's going to go on in the United States and this kind of Western decline.
34:39
But what's really declining the West is this affordability issue.
34:42
So you get these demagogues like Mam Dami and the Democratic Party, or you get Republicans who don't really understand it.
34:48
If you really want to bring down prices, here's what I would do.
34:53
I would bring in every oil major into the White House and I'd say, gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, uh, we're gonna bring oil down to 25 a barrel.
35:03
We are going to build, you're gonna begin to build every pipeline imaginable.
35:08
Um, I would probably put federal troops in blue cities, and I'd say to help you with your loss of profit, you're we're gonna refill the strategic petroleum reserve, and I'm going to uh heavily subsidize everything you do, 50% tax breaks.
35:25
I'm gonna do similar exactly to what's been done for the renewables industry for gosh, since the the early 90s where they get these production tax credits and uh investment tax credits, where sometimes upwards of 50%, if not more of your projects and ongoing have are subsidized by the taxpayers, whether the US or whatever state you're in.
35:47
That's why grids are in such bad shape right now, is you put an intermittent supply onto a grid, something that when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow, it doesn't work.
35:58
So then I have to build backup systems.
36:01
This is why you have such high prices.
36:04
This is why food has gone up.
36:05
This is why uh your airlines prices have gone up.
36:09
Anything that's connected to your grid, anything that's connected to energy, you want to bring down the price.
36:16
And the only way to bring down the price is very simple supply and demand.
36:20
Um, if you've never taken an economics course, it's a simple thing.
36:24
The more supply I bring to the market, I can lower the price, even in a high demand scenario.
36:34
Let's let's take an example.
36:39
I'm a fan of Taylor Swift.
36:41
I am, I like the music.
36:43
I have children, one of them, they both like the music.
36:46
Her tickets were thousands of dollars.
36:49
I looked into trying to go to a concert, take one of my children to it, even my wife.
36:54
Let's say she was in arenas that were 20,000, 50,000, 100,000.
37:01
Okay.
37:05
Not enough supply for the demand.
37:07
Uh, Miss Swift is obviously one of the most famous people in the world.
37:11
She's an incredible, you know, she's kind of a triple threat.
37:15
She sings, I believe she plays the the guitar, the piano, she uh writes her own music.
37:21
If you've never seen her concert, the Eras Tour on Disney, it's three and a half hours and it's amazing.
37:29
She's amazing.
37:30
Uh the performance is amazing.
37:32
It it is, if you've never seen a Broadway show, I could I'd make the argument, it was every bit as good, if not better than a Broadway show.
37:40
It was she was unhe was unbelievable.
37:44
I couldn't believe how good she was.
37:46
Watched it with my children.
37:49
But when you look at that and you go, okay, she can charge 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, maybe more for a ticket.
37:56
Well, she's in demand.
37:59
So what if I had a stadium though?
38:02
If she came to Dallas, Texas, Seattle, uh, Madrid, Spain, Tokyo.
38:09
What if every single time she played in every one of those places, five million people could watch her?
38:15
What would happen?
38:17
I'd collapse the price.
38:19
I'd I'd make the price five dollars a ticket, probably.
38:23
Do the math.
38:24
It's easy to do the math.
38:25
Just go, okay, if she's playing to 50,000, average ticket price is $2,000.
38:30
If I made it 5 million people could come see her, there's a 5 million person stadium, and everyone could see it.
38:38
Somehow it was built that you could see it, there's screens.
38:41
Um her stage is gonna float throughout the 5 million people, so everyone can uh see Miss Taylor play, um, or pardon me, Ms.
38:49
Swift play.
38:51
You would collapse everything.
38:53
It's the exact same thing with energy.
38:55
If New York City wanted to be affordable, then dramatically reduce your stupid environmental climate justice crap that has to do with things you build.
39:06
Get rid of it.
39:08
Go build and build and build some more.
39:11
And I would bring down the price.
39:13
Build in the surrounding areas, build in the in in your the current areas.
39:18
I'll bring down the prices.
39:21
There's always gonna be a demand for New York City.
39:25
So build more.
39:26
It's a supply issue.
39:28
Um you shut down Indian Point nuclear power plant that provided 25% of all your electricity.
39:35
Now you're getting it from natural gas.
39:38
Well, natural gas in the Northeast United States, they don't build pipelines because they all believe in global warming and they want to get rid of pipelines, and we're gonna do it all with renewables.
39:47
That's why your prices are going dramatically higher.
39:50
You just made everything higher.
39:53
Well, someone may go, well, Todd, um, I'm using a diesel truck.
39:58
Are you telling me my diesel truck?
40:00
It's more expensive now to deliver food to New York City.
40:03
Absolutely it is because your electricity costs more.
40:06
The refrigeration for that food.
40:09
The people who are sitting in the office, uh, what it takes to put on those clothes you have, the tires for that truck, uh, every part of that truck, uh, everything I need to do to uh manufacture the food, and on and on and on and on is more expensive because you don't understand energy real politics.
40:33
We don't have an affordability issue in the United States.
40:37
We actually have an electric grid issue that's backed by renewables problem in the United States.
40:43
That's the reason Donald Trump says it's all a scam.
40:47
It's a scam because it makes everything more expensive, because it doesn't work.
40:52
Again, if you want to go off grid with this stuff, fantastic.
40:59
Go do it.
41:00
But do not think you're ever going to power New York City with renewables and batteries.
41:06
That is a globalist billionaire's paradise for them to come in and pick up the wreckage.
41:13
Does anybody think that Mom Damy has a brain in his head to go govern New York City?
41:19
That man is bought and paid for.
41:25
You think he's not gonna go to some radical Laman to get his his marching orders of bringing uh converting uh New York City to Islamic values.
41:36
I don't even think he's smart enough to do that.
41:38
What you're gonna find is corruption, grift, and graft.
41:42
And you're gonna find electricity become more expensive, energy become more expensive, and the very thing that he expertly campaigned on will be worse when he leaves office.
41:52
Because you, as New Yorkers, you don't understand that the very thing that you voted for is actually the very thing you voted against, which was energy.
42:04
You need energy, you need to go build pipelines, you need to go build nuclear power plants, you need to first go build coal-fired power plants, and you need to bring down your electricity 300 X.
42:16
You need to bring down all the inputs of capital, 300 X.
42:21
You need to go bring down all the the cost of diesel and heating oil and natural gas a thousand percent.
42:30
That is your problem, and then build get rid of most of your regulations.
42:36
Why I'd say that with the NRC, get rid of most of your regulations.
42:40
You need to incentivize people to build.
42:43
You just say you need to send by somebody to make a nuclear power plant.
42:46
You need to incentivize people to build.
42:53
That's why things are not affordable.
42:55
That's why you have what's going on uh with Russia defeating Ukraine.
43:00
This is why you see the EU collapsing.
43:02
This is why you see large parts of the United States, the grids on the verge of collapse, has nothing to do with a data center.
43:09
There is plenty of energy in the world.
43:12
You can easily begin to build coal-fired, gas-fired nuclear power plants and meet every single data center need for the next 500 years.
43:22
The United States has over 1,300 years worth of coal.
43:27
The United States could give the world oil for almost the next 100 years.
43:32
It's how much we have of it.
43:33
These are political choices.
43:36
That crap that comes from billionaire globalists, environmentalists that this is this academic media NGO, nonprofit foundation world, which wants to kill, steal, and destroy.
43:52
So please hear me.
43:54
We do not have an affordability issue.
43:56
We do not have a losing NATO losing the war issue.
44:00
We have a you people don't understand energy, and you need to get more energy issue.
44:05
You could collapse the Russian economy right now if you flooded the world with uh cheap oil and natural gas.
44:14
So here's what is else that is completely ridiculous.
44:20
I'm a big fan of President Trump, Trump administration, all of it.
44:24
What they do with energy, it you'd be hard pressed to find anyone doing it any better.
44:29
Certainly his U.S.
44:30
uh energy secretary, Chris Wright.
44:34
I find nothing he's doing incorrect.
44:36
I wish you didn't talk about climate change as much, but still he's just about perfect.
44:44
But here's where this idea of affordability, and where it gets into geopolitics and real politics and energy itself.
44:52
So the Trump administration is looking into normalizing portable mortgages, and you go, okay, what does that actually mean?
45:00
A portable mortgage.
45:02
So what this would do, you allow Americans to keep their interest rates.
45:05
So let's say you're someone that bought a home six, seven, eight years ago, you got, let's say, uh 30-year mortgage at 2.99%.
45:13
You can take that interest rate, the term, and the lender when moving to a different home.
45:18
The FH, the FHFA director, Bill Poulty says, we are actively evaluating portable mortgages.
45:27
So this allows you to avoid paying early repayment charges on the current loan.
45:31
Thousands are saved.
45:33
Basic rundown.
45:34
Instead of taking out a completely new mortgage, you use the money raised from the sale of your property to pay off your existing mortgage and take out a new mortgage on the same terms with your existing provider to cover the cost of buying your new home.
45:48
Great.
45:49
Sounds fantastic.
45:51
Except the problem is inflation.
45:54
Except the problem is here's where the market says homes are.
45:58
Except the problem is it's supply and demand.
46:01
Home prices would not be going crazy if places like California do not allow you to build homes because they believe in global warming, because they believe in climate change, because they believe in all of this nonsense.
46:16
You do not need your mortgage terms to go.
46:20
Well, I have 2.99 here, I want 2.99 here, and I want the same mortgage, and then I want the home insurance to be the same cost.
46:28
This entire thing is an affordability issue, but it's not.
46:32
It's not an affordability issue.
46:36
It is an energy issue.
46:38
That's what this is.
46:41
Why do I need a new mortgage?
46:43
You don't have cheaper oil and natural gas and coal because your energy costs have gone through the roof, because you're not allowing anything to be built, because you believe in global warming.
46:58
The absolute insanity of where we are right now, the insanity of all of this where we are.
47:06
It's it's mind-numbing to me because you don't need that.
47:13
We have plenty of water.
47:17
You always hear the water issue, data centers.
47:19
We need power.
47:20
They use a lot of water.
47:22
We have plenty of water.
47:25
We have a technology.
47:26
It's called desalinization.
47:28
Nuclear reactors can desalinize water, meaning I can take the salt out of the water and I can use it to drink it.
47:35
I can use to bathe in it, I can use it for industrial processes.
47:39
I can use the water.
47:49
Also, a dam is an intermittent source.
47:53
The mayor of the mayor of Iran has said that the city may need to be evacuated within one month if they do not get rainfall.
48:01
Their reservoirs and their dams are about 90% empty because they've had a horrific drought.
48:07
Because you're relying on an intermittent for the Iranian people, the your thuggish government, I'd love to get rid of.
48:17
But for the Iranian people, go build nuclear reactors and desalinate water.
48:23
Build pipelines to the Red Sea, the Black Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, wherever you want to build it and desalinize it.
48:33
India, the entire country looks like a giant pen or something that's going into a pencil.
48:41
I would build 400 small module reactors all through that comp all through that country, connect to the oceans that border your entire country, your people never have to worry about water again.
48:54
What happens when you allow energy to be restricted?
48:58
We're not going to build homes.
49:00
We're going to take down coal-fired power plants because we're worried that the air is getting too dirty for us to breathe bull.
49:08
It is a lie.
49:10
Forget a scam.
49:12
I can I can get over a scam.
49:16
It's real hard to get over a lie that's going to restrict your life, which then means remember this too with your life.
49:23
I would say this to any millennial or anybody.
49:26
I can't get married.
49:27
It's too expensive.
49:28
I'll have all these student loans, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
49:32
No, you don't.
49:34
You have an energy problem, which creates a geopolitical problem, which creates a realpolitik problem.
49:43
The politics of reality says, based on the laws of supply and demand.
49:49
The world at the moment does not have enough energy because the world has been led to believe by a bunch of billionaire globalist fools like John K.
50:00
Carry.
50:01
Oh, don't use coal.
50:02
It's going to hurt you.
50:04
Use the wind and the sun instead.
50:07
The gentleman I did co-author these books with this guy named Ronald Stein.
50:11
He writes for this network, America Out Loud News.
50:14
I would tell anybody, he has the clearest vision for what it takes to run a modern world and all the things we depend on.
50:22
I fully recommend uh reading Mr.
50:25
Stein's work.
50:26
Ron is a friend, and we co-authored our books together.
50:30
But Ron has the clearest vision of what it takes to run the world, and it will never be run off renewables.
50:37
Which, again, by the way, all of the solar panels, wind turbines, battery energy systems, whether it's grid scale or electric vehicles, every single piece and component and all the processing and refining and logistics and shipping and marketing of these things and putting them on the shelves and selling them and putting them in the ground and hooking them to the grid.
50:59
All of that is possible because of fossil fuels.
51:02
Not one of those things lowers emissions.
51:04
Not one of those things makes a better environment.
51:07
If anything, it makes a worse environment.
51:09
They're much worse to use than fossil fuels.
51:12
Much worse.
51:14
Do an entire value chain on all of this, and you will find that out, which gets back to affordability.
51:22
We have an absolute incompetent boob has been elected, and the people believe this nonsense because they think things are unaffordable.
51:31
Things are not unaffordable because inflation has gone out of control.
51:36
Inflation has gone out of control because we have a spending problem.
51:40
I'd even say we may not even have a spending problem.
51:44
We have a lack of energy and electricity problem that is a political issue.
51:50
That's it.
51:53
I could solve all our problems right now.
51:56
Go get all the oil you can offshore everywhere.
52:00
Well, someone could go, well, that would kill the tourism industry.
52:03
Wait, the Biden administration and all those blue states were going to allow offshore wind turbines all up and down there.
52:12
Tens of thousands of them in the Gulf, on the Atlantic, and the Pacific Coast.
52:17
So do not tell me that we have some problem with drilling for offshore oil and natural gas.
52:24
We don't.
52:26
Don't tell me, oh my gosh, we can't go mine for all these things.
52:30
It would kill the United States.
52:32
Do you know that we literally don't even use 5% of the land in the United States?
52:37
Do you realize that most of the oceans in the world?
52:40
I think we've only explored maybe 20% of it.
52:45
30% at most.
52:48
Stop telling me that we have an affordability problem.
52:53
Stop telling me that Bernie Sanders, that piece of garbage socialist who owns multiple homes and is a multimillionaire because people believe this guy's palaver gobbledygoop nonsense for decades.
53:11
Socialism doesn't work.
53:13
Being an authoritarian doesn't work.
53:15
Totalitarianism doesn't work.
53:17
You know why it doesn't work?
53:19
Go look around Iran.
53:21
Go look around Russia.
53:23
Go to Venezuela.
53:24
Heck, go to India.
53:26
Go travel somewhere that doesn't have energy.
53:28
I've gone there.
53:29
Go there sometime.
53:30
It's the most eye-opening experience you will ever imagine.
53:34
Get rid of human rights, get rid of religious freedom, and go look at what the rest of the world looks like.
53:41
Most of the world right now is living in 18th century conditions.
53:46
Six hundred million people in Africa, they do not have electricity.
53:55
Anybody that is afraid of a data center or a lack of water or I can't get married.
54:01
I can't have children.
54:02
I can't pay off my student loans.
54:04
I have to have the government do everything for me.
54:06
I'm a single woman and I'm going to be more liberal because I need the government to take care of me.
54:11
No, you don't.
54:12
I'm a millennial.
54:13
I'm a 20-something.
54:15
I'm a Gen Xer.
54:16
I'm a Gen Zier.
54:17
Uh I'm I'm Europe and I don't want to have children because I only want to have fun and I don't want to do blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
54:24
No, you have an energy problem.
54:26
Great Britain has plenty of energy.
54:30
You're the ones that chose to outlaw fracking because you actually believed Vladimir Putin, his anti-fracking campaigns.
54:37
Look all this up.
54:38
Tell me where I'm wrong.
54:40
Send emails, call us.
54:42
Say this guy is absolutely insane.
54:46
He's saying to build more coal-fired power plants.
54:49
Yes, I am.
54:52
Until you have natural gas infrastructure and until you can use nuclear, absolutely.
54:58
You can have all the water you want.
55:00
You can have all the air conditioning you want.
55:03
You can create unbelievably great jobs in mining, refining, processing, running power plants, um, bringing to market oil and natural gas and coal.
55:16
Nothing will build your economy like abundant, reliable, affordable, scalable, resilient energy.
55:26
Nothing will.
55:49
I'll bring home prices down 75%.
55:52
I get it.
