Episode Transcript
The Biden administration, which is facing what is alleged to
be a coming disaster in the mid terms. Let's go
Brandon huh is trying to act like they're doing something
about energy prices. Number one, by blaming oil companies and
pretending that they have laces that they're just too lazy
to exploit. And secondly, by pursuing some really questionable strategies
(00:24):
for freeing up the solar energy market. You stupid, stupid
idiot voters sitting there thinking I wish cash prices were lower. No,
get solar panels, Joe. I've listened for years. I enjoy
the show. What for you talking about for a car? Yeah,
(00:45):
that's a pretty legitimate question. Honestly, what the one has
to do with the other? Jackie Heinrich was reporting on
Special Report with Brett Bear last night, clip number thirty.
If you'd be so kind, Michael in a new clean
energy push. President Biden is pausing tariffs on solar panel
imports from four Southeast Asian countries after a Commerce Department
investigation over whether companies they're circumvented tariffs on Chinese made
(01:08):
goods stalled projects in the US. How is this not
a gift to Chinese solar manufacturers who may boom operate
the course labor, and are subsidized by the Chinese Communist Party.
Today's announcement is about one country, and one country alone,
and it's about the United States. This is the administration
(01:29):
that won't say the word Tesla as the only successful
car electric car company that's ever existed, won't say the
word Tesla because they're not union, but is willing to
do a solar panel deal with the Chinese too. Well,
you know, she may cover my next point in clip
thirty one once you roll at Michael, and then we'll jabber.
(01:50):
The White House says the tariff exemptions don't apply to
any materials imported from China, but critics are sounding off.
A spokesperson for the pro tariff group Coalition for a
Prosperous of America tweeted, in part, it's time to call
this for what it is, Build back Beijing and First Solar,
an American manufacturer of solar panels, said it was deeply
disappointed with the announcement and quote directly undermines American solar
(02:13):
manufacturing by giving unfettered access to China's state subsidized solar
companies for the next two years. If they were merely
subsidized by the Chinese Communist Party, made to undermine domestic
manufacturing and destroy American jobs, that would be plenty repugnant
for me. But most of the solar panels that now
(02:35):
will be untarriffed and so now will crush American competition,
are made with slave labor in the Shinjong province of China.
Good God, you want to talk about a deal with
the devil plays the devil was embarrassed to sign the deal.
He's like, I've got to be missing something here. This
is just too good. Yeah. The Democratic Party is clearly
(02:57):
captured by the environmental twitter or left crowd, which is
not mainstream Democrats, and see this crisis that we're going
through right now as an opportunity to really transform the
way we use energy. For instance, in California, I was
talking to a guy who wants to be the governor
of California last night, and he was he was just
(03:18):
amazed that Gavin Newsom in California hasn't repealed the gas
tax or at least, you know, giving it a vacation
during these high gas prices. Because we have in California
like seventy billion dollars or whatever. That is extra money
right now, so we can afford it, and it would
be a huge political when he's guaranteed to remain governor
if he does that. But he won't do it because
(03:40):
the environmental twitter left wants gas to be so high
that we all change our behavior and we start writing
bikes or donkeys or the solar panels on top of
our bikes or whatever they're hoping we do, uh sell
our big giant trucks and get you know, priouss that
they're trying to put us in pain and Biden the
same situation rather than a number of relatively easy fixes
(04:02):
with old fuel, is go in the direction of now
is the time to force everybody into solar well and
I'd forgotten getting back to the California tax thing. The
tax is going to go up by a diamond July.
I just read so good lord, but yeah, so uh
so in order to deal with the sky high gas
prices that are crushing working class America and truckers and
(04:25):
then the rest of it, they're now importing slave made
Chinese solar panels. I guess you know it took me
a while. I apologize, folks. It hadn't occurred to me.
What I need to do is buy some slave made
communist solar panels and use them to power the oil
rig I install in my backyard. If there happens to
(04:48):
be an unused oil lease that applies to my backyard,
I guess that's what I'm supposed to do. No being
well played, Michael, or wait a minute, No, it's simpler
than that. I'm supposed to use my slave made slaves.
I think I think, I think I heard something the
last couple of years about the legacy of slavery. There's
(05:09):
current slavery going on, and the freaking Biden administration is
going to harvest the sweat off their backs in the
incarnation of solar panels to bring into the US. And
I guess I'm supposed to use that to charge my
electric car that's not a Tesla because it's not unionized. Okay,
(05:31):
I get it, I get it. And their only defense
against this utterly indefensible set of policies is look at
jender Sex, look at Halving jendero Sex. We got a
prime time special for you. The arch guy, you remember him,
He's Satan and we're gonna prove it during a prime
(05:51):
time special. I can't afford to feed my kid. Uh
Chandier a sex Look at CHENDERI sex lovely. Every time
I think our politics can't get stupider, I am humbled.
And that's the extent that anybody pays the attention at all.
Johnny Depp has joined TikTok this morning and already has
(06:13):
three and a half million followers before he makes a
single post. More people ten million by tomorrow noon. More
people are aware of that that are aware of what
you just talked about. So good test, I know, Johnny

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
