Speaker 4: stuff going on this morning. The young lady you heard
2:19
Speaker 4: just there the it what did she call it, the
2:22
Speaker 4: Super trans Queen of Canada or whatever? That is from
2:26
Speaker 4: a TV program, That is from a documentary that CBC did.

Speaker 5: I'm Bracken.
2:34
Speaker 6: I'm a twelve year old hyper queen, meaning a twelve
2:36
Speaker 6: year old female drag queen, a drag name is also real.
2:41
Speaker 4: It was called the program was called Drag Kids, and
2:46
Speaker 4: it was part of the CBC Kids regular Saturday morning lineup.
2:52
Speaker 4: From what I'm told, and she was a twelve year
2:56
Speaker 4: old drag queen. The same time, the young man who
2:59
Speaker 4: shot up the high school in British Columbia was going
3:10
Speaker 4: through the pain and suffering that he was going through,
3:14
Speaker 4: just saying, and we will get into that sum as well.
3:18
Speaker 7: What do we.
3:18
Speaker 4: Celebrate, But here we celebrate the liberation from the environmental
3:24
Speaker 4: protection agencies and dangermin finding that was the cornerstone twenty
3:28
Speaker 4: years since its first layout based on a Supreme Court
3:33
Speaker 4: ruling simply opening the door to anything the Environmental Protection
3:37
Speaker 4: Agency dubbed a greenhouse gas and that wound up being
3:41
Speaker 4: the very thing you and I exhale every time we
3:44
Speaker 4: exhale carbon dioxide. Lee Selden made the announcement yesterday alongside
3:49
Speaker 4: President Donald Trump on Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Munich is where
3:55
Speaker 4: a large contingent of US House of Representatives members are
4:00
Speaker 4: US Senators to rub elbows with folks like Voladimir Zelenski
4:04
Speaker 4: and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yee and Friedrich Mertz and
4:08
Speaker 4: the heads of state of fifteen European countries. It is
4:12
Speaker 4: the annual Munich Security Conference. This is of course where
4:17
Speaker 4: the press was able to gin up this idea that
4:19
Speaker 4: the rest of the world hates Donald Trump. But like
4:24
Speaker 4: I said, the House and Senate members going to Munich.
4:27
Speaker 4: Certainly it's not because anything else is going on. Midnight tonight,
4:31
Speaker 4: the government, or at least the Department of Homeland Security
4:34
Speaker 4: will shut down because they were unable to pass a
4:39
Speaker 4: four week extension of DHS funding over ironically, ICE, which
4:46
Speaker 4: will continue to operate even after midnight tonight. President Trump

5:01
Speaker 4: senior US officials told Reuters under the condition of anonymity.
5:06
Speaker 4: Taiwan's Presidentichi Lii ching Tay said Friday that a new
5:12
Speaker 4: agreement with the United States not only is notable because
5:15
Speaker 4: it's an agreement between the United States and Taiwan, but
5:19
Speaker 4: it also lowers tariffs on both sides of the deal.
5:23
Speaker 4: Taiwan will be allowing American imports at almost zero tariff,
5:28
Speaker 4: while the US will lower its tariffs on Taiwan to
5:33
Speaker 4: fifteen percent, and an immigration judge has dismissed the deportation
5:38
Speaker 4: case against a landscaper who was arrested in southern California
5:42
Speaker 4: for not being a citizen, which was not debated in
5:46
Speaker 4: the courtroom. However, the judge decided that the father of
5:50
Speaker 4: three US Marines, if as long as he promises to
5:54
Speaker 4: go get legal permanent residency in the United States, can
5:59
Speaker 4: go from his courtroom. And those are some of our

Speaker 11: Forty considered by most optimized Curcumin is one of the
8:07
Speaker 11: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
8:12
Speaker 11: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
8:18
Speaker 11: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
8:22
Speaker 11: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
8:26
Speaker 11: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

9:58
Speaker 13: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackman. It's always a boy growing up
10:01
Speaker 13: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 13: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
Speaker 13: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:09
Speaker 13: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
Speaker 13: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food

Speaker 13: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
Speaker 13: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
Speaker 13: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:26
Speaker 13: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
Speaker 13: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
10:32
Speaker 13: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:35
Speaker 13: at airports. They comfort returning veterans. Some of whom suffer
10:38
Speaker 13: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
10:41
Speaker 13: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
10:44
Speaker 13: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
10:46
Speaker 13: help those in need. So please join me an American

Speaker 14: heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 15: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 14: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
Speaker 14: brain is saying when it's time to go home.

Speaker 16: Love that guy, me too, know your buzzed warning signs.
11:23

Speaker 18: That more than half our household energy costs go to
11:32
Speaker 18: heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just good for the environment,
11:37
Speaker 18: It means lower utility bills too. One way to reduce
11:40
Speaker 18: your energy waste is a home energy assessment. Your utility
11:44
Speaker 18: company can help or you can learn how to do
11:47

11:54
Speaker 18: check ducks for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
11:58
Speaker 18: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a

12:04
Speaker 18: the energy guide label, and there are day to day
12:07
Speaker 18: things you can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and
12:10
Speaker 18: raise it in the summer, close fireplay stampers when they're

12:32
Speaker 19: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35

13:15
Speaker 3: know the first thing today.
13:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. We've been using that as
13:33
Speaker 4: our opening thematics for this Friday the thirteenth, But it
13:36
Speaker 4: is also apropos for the climate Zello Tree that suffered
13:42
Speaker 4: one of the great defeats of all time, one of
13:46
Speaker 4: the great battles for liberty. It put it in there
13:49
Speaker 4: with Yorktown as liberty won a huge battle yesterday quietly
13:56
Speaker 4: as President Trump on Abraham Lincoln's birthday. And I like
14:00
Speaker 4: to believe that this was done intentionally, as they liberated
14:03
Speaker 4: us from our bondage to the Environmental Protection Agency and
14:07
Speaker 4: their endangerment, finding a broad brushstroke authoritarianism. With Lee Zelden
14:14
Speaker 4: at his side yesterday joining us from the committee for
14:18
Speaker 4: a constructive tomorrow, it is the great doctor Bonnard Cohen.
14:23
Speaker 4: Doctor Cohen, thank you for joining us. How are you
14:25
Speaker 4: guys doing this morning?
14:29
Speaker 1: Doing very well in doing them, much better than we
14:31
Speaker 1: were just twenty four or forty eight hours ago. You're
14:35
Speaker 1: absolutely right, Joe, this is Friday the thirteenth for a
14:40
Speaker 1: certain segment of the population. That segment of the population
14:43
Speaker 1: is actually unbelievably small. That is, those people who benefited
14:49
Speaker 1: from the green energy mandates that have imposed not just
14:54
Speaker 1: on the United States but on countries around the world
14:58
Speaker 1: over the past a couple of decades, and in the
15:02
Speaker 1: case of the US, that was done in no small
15:06
Speaker 1: way as a result of an Obama era policy called
15:12
Speaker 1: the Endangerment Finding dates two thousand and nine, in which
15:17
Speaker 1: the Obama administration declared that man made emissions of greenhouse
15:24
Speaker 1: gases posed a significant risk to public health and thus
15:31
Speaker 1: must be regulated and ultimately regulated out of existence. Well,
15:37
Speaker 1: the Endangerment Finding, for the green left constituted the keys
15:44
Speaker 1: to the kingdom enabled that's right, and they enabled the
15:51
Speaker 1: Obama administration and really under the Biden administration to do
15:57
Speaker 1: such things as eighty fact to ev mandate. The way
16:03
Speaker 1: they did that was simply put together standards that the
16:07
Speaker 1: new gasoline powered cars could never reach, forcing automobile manufacturers
16:15
Speaker 1: to discontinue them by the middle of the next decade,
16:20
Speaker 1: and essentially taking a decision out of the hands of
16:25
Speaker 1: the American driving public and putting them into the hands
16:29
Speaker 1: of unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats in Washington, d C. BINGO.
16:34
Speaker 1: The ev mandate. Never mind that there's no recharging infrastructure
16:40
Speaker 1: worthy of the name anywhere in.
16:42
Speaker 20: The putting expensive well, and as you and I have
16:47
Speaker 20: talked about, the hypocrisy of the ev mandate, the electricity
16:50
Speaker 20: that comes out of those pretty boxes at the convenience
16:53
Speaker 20: store is generated by a power plant somewhere.
16:57
Speaker 4: So oops, sorry, thanks for playing. Here's a home version
17:01
Speaker 4: of the game, Bonnard. It has been my experience, and
17:05
Speaker 4: let me tell you ask yours. As a scientist, ambiguity
17:09
Speaker 4: is a bad thing. And so when the endangerment finding
17:12
Speaker 4: came out, the ambiguity of saying greenhouse gases and nothing
17:18
Speaker 4: says bad times more than allowing a federal government bureaucracy
17:23
Speaker 4: to fill in the blanks as to whatever they want
17:26
Speaker 4: that to mean.
17:27
Speaker 1: Correct, that's exactly right. One of the points that the
17:32
Speaker 1: Trump administration made yesterday and will continue to make in
17:37
Speaker 1: court because its decision, of course, is going to be
17:39
Speaker 1: challenged by environmentalis at certain blue states. What bollepoints they
17:45
Speaker 1: make is there is no congressional mandate in the Clean
17:51
Speaker 1: Air Act or in any other statute providing for the
17:56
Speaker 1: power that was given to the little government under the
18:02
Speaker 1: endangerment finding. And the current Supreme Court has been very
18:07
Speaker 1: meticulous in saying absent a direct congressional mandate a question
18:13
Speaker 1: of major economic importance. You can't do this. You've got
18:17
Speaker 1: to go back to Congress. If Congress has regulate X
18:21
Speaker 1: under the Clean Air Act, the President signs that into law,
18:25
Speaker 1: fined but absent. That you can't make these powers up
18:29
Speaker 1: out of whole cloth, which is exactly what the Obama
18:33
Speaker 1: administration did fifteen years ago. Now sixteen years ago.
18:37
Speaker 4: The ambiguity has allowed them to go from carbon monoxide
18:41
Speaker 4: and very quietly just started saying carbon dioxide. It was, well,
18:46
Speaker 4: it's the stuff that comes out of your tailpipe. Now
18:48
Speaker 4: it's the stuff that comes out of your pie hole,
18:51
Speaker 4: and it's the very byproduct of human existence. Has has
18:56
Speaker 4: been determined to be one of these greenhouse gases. And
18:59
Speaker 4: I think this is the most dire part along with
19:03
Speaker 4: what we learned we could do with COVID, and I
19:07
Speaker 4: think this is you know, obviously pending appeal, But after
19:13
Speaker 4: COVID and what we learned about lockdowns and global health
19:16
Speaker 4: emergencies and what the government can assume as its authority,
19:21
Speaker 4: I was always concerned that this was going to be
19:25
Speaker 4: used as the next great global health emergency, that we
19:28
Speaker 4: have to lock everyone down and shut everyone's business, et cetera,
19:32
Speaker 4: because we had in this ambiguous list of greenhouse gases.
19:36
Speaker 4: Now added carbon dioxide that which you and I breathe
19:40
Speaker 4: out every day and trees eat. But I guess you know,
19:43
Speaker 4: we can cut down the trees to put up a
19:45
Speaker 4: solar array.
19:46
Speaker 1: We don't heed the trees.
19:47
Speaker 4: Who right, Yeah, they're getting the way of the solar
19:49
Speaker 4: panels anyway. But am I right about that though? That's
19:53
Speaker 4: that's the part that I was so concerned about in
19:55
Speaker 4: this Oh.
19:56
Speaker 1: Yes, in no smallA. The COVID lockdowns done under the
20:01
Speaker 1: guise of a public health emergency. We're kind of the
20:04
Speaker 1: spring training for the main event, the main event being
20:09
Speaker 1: the climate. You see, what the Left understood here from
20:14
Speaker 1: the very beginning is once you get control of energy,
20:19
Speaker 1: you get control of the people who need and use energy. Bingo,
20:24
Speaker 1: you have power. How do you get that control, Well,
20:26
Speaker 1: you have to have an emergency. You have to scare
20:29
Speaker 1: people at death, which is exactly what happened here. It
20:33
Speaker 1: became part of their whole approach to the issue. We
20:37
Speaker 1: were facing a colignment crisis, a planetary emergency, to use
20:42
Speaker 1: al Gore's words, and bingo, well, we're here to help
20:47
Speaker 1: you through this terrible crisis that we had brought upon ourselves,
20:52
Speaker 1: and therefore we need to subsidize the wind turbines and
20:57
Speaker 1: solar panels and electric lyres from now until Kingdom come.
21:02
Speaker 1: And they would have gotten away with it had it
21:04
Speaker 1: not been for the Trump administrations coming in and saying no,
21:08
Speaker 1: we'll have nothing to do for this, and also several
21:12
Speaker 1: Supreme Court decisions that greatly trimmed back the power of
21:16
Speaker 1: the administrative state to impose things for which there is
21:21
Speaker 1: no congressional mandate.
21:23
Speaker 4: And we've watched Congress show their inability to legislate even
21:27

24:31
Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36

Speaker 3: On a need to know basis, because you need to
28:15
Speaker 3: know the first thing today.
28:20
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I want to follow up on the dangers
28:23
Speaker 4: to perralds of what this government deal was bundling towards
28:28
Speaker 4: and the Trump administration's actions. The Democrats have picked up
28:32
Speaker 4: on affordability. That's their new that's their new altar. Right now,
28:37
Speaker 4: how is this going to impact or is it going
28:40
Speaker 4: to impact by the time we get to the mid terms,
28:42
Speaker 4: say by September of this year, are Americans going to
28:46
Speaker 4: notice things more affordable? Or is that this too big
28:50
Speaker 4: of an issue that is going to take some time
28:52
Speaker 4: before our electric bills start showing any progress with this?
28:59
Speaker 1: I think no small way. This is going to kind
29:01
Speaker 1: of be the dog that didn't bark. If you want
29:05
Speaker 1: to talk about affordability, If you impose mandates ordering people
29:12
Speaker 1: to purchase electric vehicles or electric powered heat pumps as
29:20
Speaker 1: opposed to gas powered heat pumps, and purchase certain green
29:26
Speaker 1: building materials, those things would have driven prices up through
29:33
Speaker 1: the roof Ford Motor Company was losing fifty thousand dollars
29:41
Speaker 1: per vehicle on every sale of its EV Now how
29:46
Speaker 1: much longer was that going to be sustainable. The answer
29:49
Speaker 1: is not very long. Had that whole thing been allowed
29:52
Speaker 1: to stay in place, the American taxpayers would have had
29:56
Speaker 1: to bail out Detroit. That was absolutely a There is
30:00
Speaker 1: no way that the General Motors for Stillanchis could have
30:05
Speaker 1: stayed in business producing automobiles for which there is only
30:09
Speaker 1: a tiny market and taking the automobiles off the market
30:15
Speaker 1: for which there is a demand. So what we will
30:21
Speaker 1: see is, I think ultimately, because we're going to have
30:24
Speaker 1: to produce a lot more electricity now that we realized
30:27
Speaker 1: a few years ago thanks to AI data centers, which
30:33
Speaker 1: we knew about what teachers the return of manufacturing in
30:37
Speaker 1: the United States, We're going to need a lot more
30:39
Speaker 1: of this stuff. Uh so we're going to expand we're
30:44
Speaker 1: going to have to expand our energy pool. But there
30:47
Speaker 1: the key thing is going to be reliability, not anything,
30:51
Speaker 1: not things that are intermitting like wind and solar.
30:54
Speaker 4: Well, what about the Regional greenhouse Gas Initiative that Virginia
31:00
Speaker 4: you just signed back into, and I believe the General
31:02
Speaker 4: Assembly is trying to codify it so that the governor
31:05
Speaker 4: doesn't have the arbitrary ability just to pull us out
31:08
Speaker 4: of this Northeast climate suicide Pack Economic Disarmament Treaty.
31:14
Speaker 3: What is this.
31:16
Speaker 4: Endangerment finding decision due to Reggie.
31:22
Speaker 1: That's a very interesting question one that probably is going
31:26
Speaker 1: to find it will in a few lawsuits because Reggie
31:32
Speaker 1: is ultimately a creature of the endangerment finding and it
31:36
Speaker 1: is a creature of the whole global warming slash climate
31:42
Speaker 1: change hoax that has been perpetrated over the last few decades.
31:48
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be a bit surprised now if the
31:52
Speaker 1: various lawsuits, it'd be going to be flying all over
31:55
Speaker 1: the place, because the Greens are not about to go
31:57
Speaker 1: gently into that quiet night over their stales. And frankly,
32:01
Speaker 1: I welcome their suits because openly I think they'll lose.
32:03
Speaker 1: When it gets to the Supreme Court, it'll take two
32:05
Speaker 1: or three years. Then you'll have a court decision upholding
32:10
Speaker 1: what the Trump administration, Supreme Court decision upholding what the
32:13
Speaker 1: Trumpet administration did yesterday, which will make it very difficult,
32:17
Speaker 1: almost impossible for a future administration to overturn. And Reggie's
32:23
Speaker 1: an interesting question because affordability is about to pass Virginia
32:28
Speaker 1: by because of what the Reggie, as well as a
32:34
Speaker 1: reinvigoration of Virginia's own energy law that was passed a
32:39
Speaker 1: few years ago. It's going to lead to higher electricity
32:42
Speaker 1: prices along with the higher electricity prices that already headed
32:45
Speaker 1: our way thanks to the gigantic offshore wind farm going
32:51
Speaker 1: up off Virginia's coast. So Virginia, of course, is headed
32:55
Speaker 1: exactly in the wrong direction. Its role model appears to
32:59
Speaker 1: be Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York. The bluer the states,
33:06
Speaker 1: the more they want to emulate them, will they should
33:09
Speaker 1: look at what people in those states pay for their electricity,
33:13
Speaker 1: pay for their gasoline. That has nothing to do with
33:16
Speaker 1: the affordability, and it's these policies are regressive. That is,
33:20
Speaker 1: those people of middle and law incomes are the one
33:24
Speaker 1: who are going to pay the most here. So affordability
33:27
Speaker 1: forget it. It's a cute term. It has no basis
33:30
Speaker 1: in reality whatsoever.
33:32
Speaker 4: And since everything needs some sort of electricity, it's going
33:35
Speaker 4: to be hard to live without it unless we all
33:37
Speaker 4: become amish overnight. Bonnard Cohen, Doctor Bonner Cohen, thank you

Speaker 4: into that's a huge This one from Mark listening to
34:03
Speaker 4: us in Portland on Freedom nine seventy. He said, appreciate
34:08
Speaker 4: the nod to Lincoln. At first I was a little
34:11
Speaker 4: concerned stealing the left tropes, but I like the phrase
34:15
Speaker 4: febteenth for the day we were liberated from this servitude. Well,
34:21
Speaker 4: and yeah, I am guilty of doing this sometimes I
34:26
Speaker 4: will try to paint a metaphorical picture. But think of
34:31
Speaker 4: all the things that have all been done under this
34:34
Speaker 4: idea that there are mysterious greenhouse gases and some government
34:40
Speaker 4: bureaucrat gets to spin the big greenhouse gas wheel. Carbon dioxide. Hey,
34:52
Speaker 4: that's a greenhouse gas. Whole lot of carbon dioxide in
34:54
Speaker 4: the world, right, No, as a matter of fact, it's not,
34:59
Speaker 4: you know all that. But we can control people with it,
35:03
Speaker 4: and we can tell young people don't have children. Don't
35:06
Speaker 4: have children, they'll just be spewing carbon dioxide too, and
35:10
Speaker 4: methane too. They don't tell you that at parenting class.
35:18
Speaker 4: This is part of the depopulation movement. We're going to
35:21
Speaker 4: continue on into that on Monday's program. There's a fella.
35:28
Speaker 4: It's called climate Porn. Is the book just it's about
35:32
Speaker 4: to come out. It's by Kevin Mooney, journalist who's been
35:38
Speaker 4: covering this for a while. And I will enter it
35:40
Speaker 4: into the Library of Thomas that you should have along
35:46
Speaker 4: with all the collected works of Chris Horner, Red Hot Lies,
35:50
Speaker 4: Power Grab, Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming. He was there,
35:54
Speaker 4: Bonner was talking about false crisis. This is how Chris
36:00
Speaker 4: to see this. He was he was just working along,
36:03
Speaker 4: had a nice gig at Enron. All of a sudden,
36:07
Speaker 4: it's like, hey, you know, if we throttle back the
36:10
Speaker 4: power and say that it's because there's too much load,
36:16
Speaker 4: we could convince California's you know, maybe they should be
36:19
Speaker 4: buying some more solar panels that we can't sell to
36:22
Speaker 4: save our lives. And they said, hey, that sounds like.
36:26
Speaker 7: A good idea.
36:26
Speaker 4: Would you do that? Sure, we'll do that, and we
36:30
Speaker 4: can drive up the cost of the you know, the
36:33
Speaker 4: energy that we produced because it's it's scarce. Obviously we
36:37
Speaker 4: had brownouts, rolling brown outs must be scarce. Even though
36:42
Speaker 4: there was some dude in a suit pulling back on
36:45
Speaker 4: the throttle. How's that Four PM on the West coast.
36:51
Speaker 7: Is that good? Yeah?
36:52
Speaker 4: Air conditioners firing up. Oh no, I'll look at all
36:55
Speaker 4: that rolling brownouts can Oh, he's running again because Steven
37:01
Speaker 4: Spielberg needs some energy to make it some film at
37:05
Speaker 4: the Lucas Ranch. It's such a setup. And they don't
37:13
Speaker 4: even care about that. You knowing that anymore because we
37:20
Speaker 4: have been gas lit through COVID to think the very
37:24
Speaker 4: existence of other people go and kill us. There's a

44:21
Speaker 4: Former Chair of the Freedom Concuss Bob Good on with
44:25
Speaker 4: us this morning. So, Bob, what is your You worked
44:29
Speaker 4: with lese Elden in Congress and you you know, you
44:34
Speaker 4: know the trouble that the Endangerment finding filing finding has
44:38
Speaker 4: allowed Congress to do. What was your view when the
44:43
Speaker 4: President made this announcement yesterday with Leise Elden about the
44:46
Speaker 4: ending of the endangerment finding.
44:49
Speaker 24: Yeah, by the president, great job by the EDA Commissioner
44:53
Speaker 24: or director Leise Elden. Democrats should never win another election,
44:58
Speaker 24: if only because their position on climate and energy. Catastrophic
45:04
Speaker 24: man made climate change is a hoax. There's very little
45:08
Speaker 24: we can do to ultimately impact the climate.
45:12
Speaker 18: Though.
45:12
Speaker 24: Even the predictions that over the next fifty years the
45:14
Speaker 24: temperature might change by one degree, there's many places in
45:16
Speaker 24: the world where it's getting warmer, will actually help more
45:19
Speaker 24: people die from cold than die from heat. Around the world,
45:22
Speaker 24: climate deaths have went down astronomically over the past one
45:25
Speaker 24: hundred years. We need more fossil fuels, not less. We
45:28
Speaker 24: have the ability to adapt and adjust to climate change,
45:31
Speaker 24: as we have done. We've shown resilience over the years.
45:34
Speaker 24: And thank god for President Trump, he's been excellent on
45:36
Speaker 24: this issue. He's shown courage and resolve in this in
45:39
Speaker 24: rolling back regulations and the harm that's been done to
45:42
Speaker 24: the economy and the American people to energy costs, regulations
45:45
Speaker 24: and restrictions. We need to decriminalize nuclear, unleash that it
45:50
Speaker 24: has tremendous potential. It is the cleanest energy, it's got
45:53
Speaker 24: the most potential, even more than fossil fuels. So we
45:56
Speaker 24: need to continue to move on that. But great job
45:58
Speaker 24: by the President rolling back these old Obama Arab policies
46:01
Speaker 24: that have been costing the American people and hurting industry
46:04
Speaker 24: and hurting Americans for the past fifteen plus years.
46:07
Speaker 4: Well, and also part of that dehumanization agenda, the depopulation movement.
46:12
Speaker 4: We're going to dig into this some more on Monday
46:14
Speaker 4: Mornings program as well. But this is all seeds from
46:18
Speaker 4: Paul Erlick's population bomb in the sixties and that we
46:22
Speaker 4: have to get fewer people. And just what yes, you're
46:24
Speaker 4: doing is more polluting than an electric generating plant.
46:28
Speaker 24: Yes, your great point, getting to the crux of it.
46:31
Speaker 24: It is anti human and what they want is an
46:34
Speaker 24: anti human impact, pretending that the climate or the earth
46:38
Speaker 24: or the environment would be one hundred percent better if
46:41
Speaker 24: humans did not exist. But frankly, the environment without humans
46:45
Speaker 24: is hostile. It's doo cold, it's too hot, there's predators,
46:50
Speaker 24: there's danger from storms and so forth. We need humans
46:54
Speaker 24: to protect us from the environment and the climate that
46:58
Speaker 24: would exist if it weren't for industry, if there wasn't prosperity,
47:01
Speaker 24: if there wasn't innovation, if there wasn't energy, affordable, reliable
47:05
Speaker 24: of energy, which energy has brought more prosperity, more industry
47:09
Speaker 24: in the third world countries and the poorest countries of
47:11
Speaker 24: the world than anything else, particularly fossil fuels and specific
47:14
Speaker 24: the very thing that these extremists want to eliminate.
47:18
Speaker 4: Bob good Good for America A podcast two, the last
47:21
Speaker 4: one and then a follow up midterms. We're already starting
47:26
Speaker 4: to get more and more. You know, it's a friend
47:28
Speaker 4: of mine referred to the fifth Congressional district as a
47:31
Speaker 4: choice of leftover Italian for the Democrats, as Tom Periella
47:36
Speaker 4: wants to come. And I don't know cast more deciding
47:39
Speaker 4: votes on things like Obamacare. But what is your sense
47:43
Speaker 4: on the midterms, regardless of districts and everything else. How
47:48
Speaker 4: perilous is the Republican or Trump supporting majority I should
47:52
Speaker 4: call it in Congress.
47:55
Speaker 24: I think it's very perilous because it's very tight, and
47:59
Speaker 24: there's only some twenty five or so really competitive districts anyway,
48:03
Speaker 24: and Republicans are running on forty trillion debt, another two
48:06
Speaker 24: trillion dollar deficit, and the CBO Congressional Budget Office just
48:10
Speaker 24: adjusted in the negative. The impact of the Big Bill
48:14
Speaker 24: over the next ten years is going to be one
48:16
Speaker 24: point four trillion dollars worse than projected. And that's even
48:19
Speaker 24: if the tax cuts go into effect, which are not extended,
48:23
Speaker 24: and if the spending cuts go into effect. So Republicans
48:26
Speaker 24: are in trouble. Plus the President said we don't want
48:27
Speaker 24: to do reconciliation two point zero. He said, we passed
48:30
Speaker 24: everything we need to pass last year. I think that's
48:32
Speaker 24: a mistake. Republicans ought to be going big and bold
48:34
Speaker 24: and courageous in case they lose the midterms, but also
48:37
Speaker 24: to show action that might help prevent them from losing
48:39
Speaker 24: the mid terms. So I think Republicans are in danger,
48:42
Speaker 24: but Democrats are even less popular, so that they're One
48:46
Speaker 24: saving grace is that Democrats and Democrat policies are even
48:49
Speaker 24: less popular. So the American people may not change horses.
48:53
Speaker 24: Hopefully they won't in November in spite of Republicans.
48:56
Speaker 4: So it's Valentine's Day on Saturday. How does Bob Good
49:00
Speaker 4: and his lovely wife of his whole life, Tracy and
49:03
Speaker 4: all the grandkids and kids, how do you guys celebrate
49:06
Speaker 4: Valentine's Day?
49:08
Speaker 24: Well, Tracy and I will have a nice Valentine's date
49:11
Speaker 24: and as we do, and spend a little extra time together.
49:14
Speaker 24: But I'm grateful for the opportunity I do have to
49:17
Speaker 24: spend a little more time with her this past year
49:19
Speaker 24: than I have in the previous four years, and I
49:21
Speaker 24: think she's enjoyed that and appreciates that. But I'm thankful
49:24
Speaker 24: for so Good, my bride of thirty seven and a
49:26
Speaker 24: half years.
49:27
Speaker 4: Well, God bless you, sir. Happy Valentine's Week and we'll

Speaker 4: talk to you again next week.
49:30
Speaker 24: Well job, thank you my friend.
49:32
Speaker 4: At four three four eighty eight two four two seven.
49:35
Speaker 4: As we ramp to it, don't forget Saturday mornings on
49:38

49:43
Speaker 4: needs the run uh six a m. Till nine am

49:50
Speaker 4: dancing pleasure as well. And again, if you don't get
49:54
Speaker 4: a bit of this and you want to hear more
49:57
Speaker 4: of it, or you only get get a chance on
49:59
Speaker 4: the station, do carry all four hours to hear a
50:01
Speaker 4: bit of it. We upload podcasts to the website our
50:08
Speaker 4: own servers as a spreaker. Spreaker okay, spreaker is the
50:12
Speaker 4: service we use, but then it goes out through there
50:16
Speaker 4: to Spotify and Apple Podcasts and all of that stuff.
50:22
Speaker 4: Please you have a great Valentine's Day and understand it
50:25
Speaker 4: is not a made up Hallmark holiday. Gallantine's Day is
50:29
Speaker 4: Gallentine's Day is something that Parks and rec came up with.
50:35
Speaker 4: Although I found out that oh what's his name? That
50:42
Speaker 4: play he's hysterical, he's out on tour and my wife
50:46
Speaker 4: and I struggle to find stand up comedy to go
50:48
Speaker 4: see and he is coming to the Hampton Roads area,
50:52
Speaker 4: So maybe that's what I have to do for for
50:55
Speaker 4: some entertainment. It's not until later on in the year there.
50:59
Speaker 4: But so Parks and rech has given some good things
51:03
Speaker 4: to society, I guess there. But the Gallantine's Day, I
51:09
Speaker 4: get it. I've had solo Valentine's Day and you feel like,
51:12
Speaker 4: well everyone else is doing something my own by myself,
51:16
Speaker 4: but yeah, it's it is what it is. You can't
51:21
Speaker 4: force life to happen. Eyes open, head on a swivel.
51:25
Speaker 4: That's how you live life. That's how you love life,
51:27
Speaker 4: eyes open, head on a swivel, and just be ready
51:32
Speaker 4: for it when it comes. That's it.
51:34
Speaker 3: Your your life.
51:35
Speaker 4: Life should be a preparation for when the stuff happens
51:39
Speaker 4: in all manners of things, not just matters of the heart.
51:43
Speaker 4: But Valentine's Day by far not a made up hallmark holiday.
51:47
Speaker 4: And what all the haters and the progressives. Maybe that
51:51
Speaker 4: that's an example. Yeah, I don't know who are the
51:53
Speaker 4: progressives that I work with, Joe, we don't talk about
51:55
Speaker 4: those things. If they're going around telling you that Valentine's
51:59
Speaker 4: Saint Valentine's Day as a made up hallmark holiday. Chances
52:03
Speaker 4: are they got some progressive in him, they got a
52:07
Speaker 4: little Fabian society in him. But it's Saint Valentine was
52:13
Speaker 4: stoned to death by the Romans for marrying couples. What
52:19
Speaker 4: a better thing to look at, especially in our society today,
52:26
Speaker 4: as the idea of tradition and marriage and family fall
52:30
Speaker 4: understrike all the time. Certainly not to the level the
52:33
Speaker 4: Romans did it. I think your results can vary in
52:36
Speaker 4: any Wait till Saturday morning at six, Monday morning again
52:39
Speaker 4: at five. I am Joe Thomas. This is the Talk
52:42
Speaker 4: Media Network and first thing today my presentation to you
