Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael, This reworked, new fangled, ultra fantastic. iHeart app that
causes nothing but problems. It's always shutting off, it's freezing
up the stream, stop, et cetera. Oh and by the way,
I'd like to predict that Hamas will be the first
to break the ceasefire.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah, wow, masterly obvious, Hamas will be the one that
breaks the ceasefire.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Isn't that news saying that Hamas is already wavering on it?

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Yeah? Dragon, and I haven't obviously, because I've been busy talking.
I'ven't had chests. Look, but Dragon whispered in my ear
earlier in the program that Hamas is already wavering on it.
So did it say what they were what was happening?

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I think it was more or less NATANYAHUO going hey,
wait a minute, you guys aren't holding up to your
end already. I don't know exactly what it was, but
is going wait a minute.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Here do you know I find fascinating. I mean, I'm
being very sincere. Here, here's a guy sitting back there
behind the glass comes up from the third floor, comes
up you know from the kind of the the we
you know, kind of fog that exists down there now
that he engages, I'm just saying, there's just a bunch
of weed down there, a refrigerator that I think really

(01:22):
should be declared a super fun site in which there
are Penis jokes told all the time. And now he's
using the word hamas netanyaho cease fire, all sorts of
things that I don't think he ever thought in his
wildest dreams he would either be thinking about, or let

(01:42):
alone speaking in public about.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Can we get to the story about the woman with
two va chinas that I gave you yesterday or the
one hundred and twenty dollars pizza with a pineapple on it?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Let's see, we'll do the.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
As Michael finally, a two hours after the show starts,
looks at the stack of papers that I left.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
Well, I looked earlier, but I saw one that I thought,
but now I can't. It's probably got You know how
you'd lay them out neatly. Yeah, Well, as I'm flailing
my arms, they kind of get moved around a little bit. Yeah,
but you failed to mention this one. So here, here's
here's what drag, Here's dragon's true. Uh, well, here's a

(02:27):
look into his soul.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Is this toilet paper one? What is that the toilet
paper one?

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Just shut up and listen, Just sit out and shut up.
This comes to us from the Associated Press. Well, it
says ap It may mean ask something for all I know,
but appairly I think it's the ap UH dateline. Rome
Lazio has fired the man who handled the Italian Soccer

(02:56):
clubs eagle mascot after he posted foe those and videos
online of his own prosthetic penis. Now I really have
a hard time getting beyond just the first paragraph. If
if you're if you're the falconer that handles the mascot

(03:18):
for this Italian I'm sorry Italian Soccer club. Oh it's
an eagle mascot and you're posting photos and videos of
the mascot. What would prompt you to then post a
photo and video of your own prosthetic penis? How are
those two related? I don't I don't get the connection here.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Somebody ask Anthony Wiener.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
See, this is this is how you You never really
unlearned how to ride a bicycle or in his case,
a tricycle, because he's able to get right back on
and just pretend like he never left Third floor falconer
Juan Bramabe share the images on his private social media
accounts after undergoing surgery for a penile implant, which he

(04:04):
said was for non medical reasons. Do I need to
interpret that for anyone you get a penile implant for
non medical reasons?

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Is he trying to make a bigger situation out of things?

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Let's just say that it was really a hard kind
of decision for him to make. He also gave an
interview to controversial Italian radio show The Situation with Michael
Brown on Monday and elaborated on his reasons for undergoing
the procedure. He said he felt very proud and more

(04:43):
masculine being part of the soccer club. The series A
club clearly did not feel the same, as it fired
the Spaniard shortly afterward. Shocked to see the photographic images
and video of mister wall Bernabe and to read the
statements that accompanied them. The club realizes and shares the

(05:06):
pain that fans will feel at the loss of the
eagle in the next home games, but believes that it
is not possible to be associated with a person who,
by his own initiative, has made the continuation of the
relationship unacceptable.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Don't worry, I will not post any of his photos
on Michael says, go here dot com.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Are their photos? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:27):
I didn't look, and I'm not going to it. I'm
not going to post them to Michael says, go here
dot com.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
All right now? Are you happy? Are you happy?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Now?

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Never jim So.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
The other story that was over here, that the one
that did catch my eye was this is in Norwich,
England and this comes to us from CNN that and
I didn't know this. The decision to start putting pizza
on or pineapple on pizza, was a decision made by

(06:03):
a Canadian chef in the nineteen sixties to put tenned
pineapple on top of a ham pizza. The story is
about a pizzeria in Norwich, England, has nailed its colors
to the mast by introducing pineapple to its online delivery menu.
But at the princely sum. You see, the Brits have

(06:25):
a princely sound of one hundred pounds around one hundred
and twenty two bucks. Now surprising, that's not the highest
price charge for pineapple in the past year. A three
hundred and ninety five dollars ninety nine cent red hued
variant hit the California market last May. Now are you

(06:45):
happy now? So we've had the well, we had the
confirmation hearing yesterday for Chris Wright to be Secretary of Energy.
I don't think I may be wrong, but we may
have had the uh or at least maybe today or
having the confirmation hearing for Secretary of the Interior. Who's

(07:06):
North Dakota Governor Doug Berghen, So I think it's time
to stop and think that, Well, here's another reason. So
we had or have had those two confirmation hearings. And
then I heard someone ask Jason Miller or somebody from
the Trump transition team how many executive orders can we
expect on the first day, and whoever they were talking

(07:30):
to on the team, they asked specifically, well, it's going
to be a lot. It's going to be an amazing
number of executive orders, and the host asked, will it
be one hundred or more? And the response was, you'll
just have to wait and see. I'm not going to
get in front of the president, but it is being

(07:50):
widely reported that he does plan to execute as many
as one hundred executive orders on the first day in
office on Monday, now, a lot of those will be
focused on border security and national security areas, but I
think some, without any doubt, are going to apply to
bowstring our energy security. So regardless of what happens on

(08:14):
day one, I think the coming weeks, the rest of
this month, for that matter, promises to be a really
busy time as far as energy policy is concerned. And
you know, I've got a really big bugaboo about energy because,
as we heard in Chris Wrights testimony yesterday, a nation

(08:38):
that has cheap, abundant energy widely and readily available is
a nation that has strong national security, has a lot
of innovation, has a growing economy, and is a powerhouse.
That's what I want us to be again. And I

(08:59):
think that just the whole idea of you know, I
keep getting any scam calls. I love how now they
market scam likely. I must have a thousand numbers blocked
by now.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
We're sixteen days into the new year, and I have
only gotten scam calls on my phone.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Oh that's all you've gotten, That's all I have gotten. Wow.
My poor mom thought that I called her yesterday while
I was in a meeting, and she called me back
five times didn't leave a message, but called me back
five times, and so I stepped out of the meeting

(09:40):
so I could call her back and say, Mom, what's wrong? Well,
what'd you want?

Speaker 3 (09:46):
Nothing? I just wanted to know what you wanted exactly.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
She would know what I wanted. Mom, I didn't call you. Well,
your name's on my phone. Well, yes, Mom, it is
on your phone because.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
I called you two weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (09:59):
No, it's it's on your foot. I think maybe she'd
been looking because I put her I put some of
the family names on her favorite Yeah, and I think
that's I think maybe if I can get out there
this weekend, maybe I'll move my name to the bottom
of the pile and put my brothers at the top,
and then she can call them all the time. Yes, Anyway,

(10:23):
I'm pretty excited about this whole energy situation with the country.
So here I made a list of eight high impact
items that I want the president or I think we
can probably expect the President to kick start his energy
policy efforts into action. First and foremost, I think a

(10:44):
completely reversal of Biden's pause on liquid natural gas permitting,
because if we do away with that year long bit
of theater that Biden's done. That might well be at
the very top of Trump's list as he tries to
get America Can growth industry back on path. So I
think a pause on or a reversal of the pause

(11:05):
on LNG permitting and then and just get ready because
the cabal, their heads will explode and we'll hear about
how we're going to we're all gonna die. But I
think he'll withdraw from the Paris Climate the Cords. Now,
he took that same action during his first term, and

(11:28):
he's promising to do it again. But it's more than
symbolic given that Biden used the Paris Accords as the
underlying basis for some of the goals and timelines that
it's been setting as part of its green energy agenda.
So boom, let's just pull the rug out from under

(11:48):
that and let's just say, you know what, we don't
care about that anymore. I honestly, you know. There was
there was an article about how Chris Wright yesterday during
his testimony, talked about how the use of fossil fuels
probably does cause some climate change. Now, he did not

(12:09):
say that fossil fuels are the cause of climate change,
but that it might cause some climate change. Well, how
do you think that gets interpreted by the cabal. Oh,
the president's new energy secretary believes that the use of
fossil fuels causes climate change, and climate change, of course

(12:30):
is going to destroy humankind. So he's going to stop
use of fossil fuels. No, that's not what he said
at all. I think the existence of mankind on this
planet may have some infinitesimal effect on climate change. But
I think the I mean, with all due respect to
liberals and the fascists and the Marxiste and all the

(12:53):
progressors who think that they are the center of the universe,
they are not the center of the universe. They did
not we ate the heavens and the earth. God did.
And when God did, and he created all this giantic
solar systems, I think, you know, he created the sun.
And I think the sun has more of an effect
on climate change than anything else, including your stupid automobile

(13:17):
or your gas stove, or your cow farts or anything else.
But is there an effect? Look, everything has an effect
on something else. Every time I bang on this cont
every time I do anything on this console, it wears
it out just a little bit more now that maybe
over time. In fact, there's some spots where it's been

(13:37):
worn out because people put their elbows, or they put
their laptops or whatever, and some of the for MICA
is beginning to wear away. Everything affects everything else, but
we never stop and think about what's the magnitude of
the effect. So yes, I hope that he withdraws from
the climate, the Paris Climate Cords. But you need to

(14:00):
be prepared for the absolute hysteria that the cabal will
rain down on us when that happens. I think he'll
restart the federal onshore and offshore oiling gas leasing program.
I think Governor boogem Bergen to aggressively move to restart

(14:22):
and accelerate the oil and gas leasing program that was
mandated by the Outer Continental Shelf LANs Act. Now the
out going secretary can anybody name? Can anybody name the
current energy Energy Secretary? Can? You don't google it, don't cheat,
just think to yourself, do you know who the current

(14:44):
Energy secretary is? Well, she had to work really hard
to ensure that the program remained dormant by doing what
what government bureaucrats or executives are really good and that's
just stalling action over the past four years. Now, I think,

(15:10):
based on what Trump's been doing in terms of meeting
with people, I think he'll create a National Energy Council.
Trump has promised to order Bergham and Chris Wright to
head up a new council that's going to be charged
with conducting a full review of our oil, natural guests,
and our electric grid policies and then make recommendations on

(15:31):
how to improve them. I think that will be a
day one action then, and I again get ready for
the cries and the screens. He'll put a six month
maybe longer, but at least a six month pause on
Biden's offshore wind sector. It was Monday of this week.

(15:54):
I think that New Jersey Congressman Jeff Van Drew review
that he has been tasked with drafting an executive order
that would impose such a moratorium with an eye towards
a permanent elimination of those wind projects in federal waters.

(16:15):
Save the whales, save the fish, save the seals, save
whatever that should be our response. Oh, you want windmills,
you want wind turbines, and it's disrupting the sonar and
everything that they use to communicate and you know, yeah,
where's where's Peter? Then this will be challenged in court.

(16:39):
But I think he'll put a hold on all of
these green energy loans and grants pending a review. And
I think that's how he's going to get around any
legal challenge. The legal challenge will still come about, but
I think he'll win the legal challenge by saying I
didn't stop them, I just put a pause on them
so I could review them. He'll terminate the Office of

(17:02):
Senior Advisors to the President for International Climate Policy, the
Climate Envoy, remember John Kerry, the climates are that office
who I think he'll eliminate that. And then I think
he'll reverse Biden's massy leasing and drilling fans six one
hundred and twenty five million acres that Biden set aside.

(17:22):
I think Trump will open it back up.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
If Joe Biden gave over eight thousand pardons, let's just
say you spent one hour reviewing each one of those files.

Speaker 2 (17:34):
That's eight thousand hours. How do you know that an
injustice happened if you've never even reviewed the file. I
am utterly amazed. One he doesn't review the files in
the Department of Justice. There is an office of Pardon
in Clemency and they make recommendations. I mean, the president

(17:57):
ken on his own. Maybe he knows somebody, he's got
a friend, you know, he might in probably something would
never happen. Let's say a president wants to pardon his son. Well,
he doesn't need no stinking file to decide to do that.
He just decides on his own because his son may
have been you know, wrongly prosecuted, harassed, really just kind

(18:21):
of you know, rough shod by the Department of Justice.
So he decides to pardon his son. Now, I know
that's unlikely to happen, but if it did, he wouldn't
need anything from DJ that says, hey, this guy who
just happens to be your son is deserving of a
pardon or clemency. So d OJ has an office that

(18:44):
reviews requests for pardons and clemency, and they review the
files and they make recommendations. And the recommendations show up
on the President's desk, and there's usually just like one
paragraph most or they may come in they batchel, so
they've got batches of them. These all are these particular circumstances,

(19:09):
and they all meet these circumstances. We think you ought
to brank clemency or pardons to them. But then there
are people who specifically request pardons or clemency, and you
can do that directly. I mean, depending how close a
relationship you have, you can do you can do it
directly to the president. So most of those, my guess

(19:33):
is it worked this way. He said to d oj Uh,
I'm upset about XU, people that were convicted of crimes
that maybe were violent or maybe even on death row,
but they have shown X y Z they're now doing

(19:55):
wonderful things or whatever. They He sets the criteria, then
d oj goes looks for them, and they find them
when they come back and say, hey, we found these
files that meet your requirement. Now, I don't believe for
a New York minute that Joe Biden himself either looked
at any of those files that met his criteria. He

(20:16):
didn't look at eight thousand files. He just signed whatever
was put in front of him. There's also I think
this that went on. I think that Obama's team, the
people in the White House that are really Obama employees,
that they had people that they wanted pardoned or granted clemency,

(20:37):
and Biden just signed off on it. Back to the
energy thing, this may also I haven't quite decided this.
I'll let you decide. I'll just tell you and you decide.
But every once in a while we see the leaders

(20:58):
in the Church of the Climate Active Us accidentally tell
all of their congregants the truth. They might be honest
about the high costs of when so renewable technology, but
these examples of the high priests of the Church of
the Climate Activists speaking the quiet part out loud are

(21:21):
very infrequent, and when they do, I think it's important
for us to hear it. We talked. The show started
out with the whole concept about oligarchy. Will Bill Gates
I would consider it to be an oligarch. He has
taken his wealth, his bazillions of dollars, and he has

(21:45):
used it to influence government programs and policies, and he
has used it to pretty much impose his view of
how we ought to live on us. Mere mortals that
only make you know, a million dollars a year posed
to a bazillion dollars a year, and then all of
us that just make you know, you know, a couple

(22:05):
of grand a year, Well, we just get screwed. Over royally.
But Bill Gates is one of the most prominent and
visible members of the Church of the Climate Activists. He's
a true believer. He's a useful idiot, but he's a
true believer. And he's also been a proponent of the

(22:25):
most bizarre and destructive solutions to climate on a plan
whose climate change has been constantly changing for billions of years.
So if anybody could be characterized as maybe the pope
of this Church of the Climate Activists, it might be
Bill Gates. In fact, he would make a terrific villain

(22:46):
for maybe a James Bond film or something. He could
just play himself. So I want you to hear this
video clip in which Gates discusses exploding power demands coming
from artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging, and other sources,

(23:09):
because he was having an interview with some CNN talking head.
But they weren't in Atlanta, they weren't in New York.
They were at something called the CNN Academy. In Abby Dobby,
he praises the big tech firms as being responsible actors

(23:31):
and sourcing their power needs, and in the process clearly
well rather than me, just take a listen to it.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
How can we harness AI in the fight to preserve
the planet whilst also being aware of the massive appetite,
of course the AI has for energy.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
How do you.

Speaker 5 (23:53):
Balance those Actually, AI is small compared to electrifying cars,
electrifying trucks and buses, and taking industrial processes like steel
or cement and having electricity rather than direct hydrocarbon usage

(24:14):
be a key input to those. But AI will add
significant electricity demand.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Now.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
Fortunately, the companies that are involved in building these data
centers don't want to add to climate problems. They'll be
willing to invest and pay a little bit above, say,
the natural gas price of electricity and drive some of
these technologies down to be less and less expensive there and.

Speaker 4 (24:42):
The appetite of course for that energy will be sooner
than that.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Oh absolutely, in the near term.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
We have to build a lot of solar unfortunately, probably
some additional natural gas to meet these the demands over
the next here.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Oh so for six years, probably longer. But he just
made a confession, the Pope of the Church of the
Climate activists, at least this week. The Pope said, we're
probably going to need to expand natural gas in order
to meet the power demands of all of these data

(25:23):
centers that the technology companies want to build in order
to implement artificial intelligence. Well, is that pretty clear to you? Yeah,
it should be clear. Wall Street Journal had an editorial
in which they they addressed this about AI and the demand,

(25:45):
and the journal I don't have in front of me,
but the journal pointed out that Biden is playing an
old bait and switch game, a money laundering scheme in
which he is doing this. So if let's just pick
on Google, I don't think Google is specifically mentioned in
the editorial, but Google wants to build these giant artificial

(26:09):
intelligence data centers, as do many of the tech giants,
but they need an enormous amount of electricity, more than
the current grid, more than our total current output of
electricity can meet. That's why. And I think it is
Google that wants to open Three Mile Island because they

(26:30):
recognize that, oh, nuclear energy could actually meet that demand,
which causes me to question, well, if nuclear energy can
meet the demand for AI data centers, why can't we
streamline and clean up the permitting process and encourage you know,
Excel Energy for example, to build more nuclear power plans

(26:55):
to provide over the long term, long term energy supply
at cheap rates. Biden has stepped in and said, under
the Green New Deal, we will the taxpayers, we will
loan you the money, will loan you the money to
build out the grid, and to build out as in

(27:18):
Bill Case's example, I guess to implement more natural gas
produced electricity to meet the power demands of your AIDATA center. Well,
what does that amount to. That's really a subsidy to
the tech giants to put in renewables, solar and wind,

(27:42):
whatever it is. But you have to have a steady
stream of power. So they're going to subsidize putting in
wind and solar so that they can claim, oh, look
we're using wind and solar, so the tech giants can
talk to talk about how oh they're trying to be
clean and they're trying to be green and they're trying
to make sure they don't add to the pollution. But

(28:03):
wink wink over here, because we now have additional capital
that we can use to build out the electrical grid
using coal, natural gas, nukes, whatever. And how do we
get that additional capital to do that? Because Biden said

(28:23):
the taxpayers would subsidize us putting in wind and energy,
which is never ever going to supply the kind of reliable,
sustainable power that it's going to take to run an
AI data center, and you'll pay for it. The American
taxpayers will pay that subsidy. While the tech giants know

(28:45):
that the only way to get the reliable amount of
energy they need, the consistently reliable energy they need for
their data centers is to build out oh more natural
gas oil or nuclear power electricity m or nuclear power,
nuclear power generated electricity. The scams never stop when it

(29:08):
comes trying to force us into this green new deal.
Trump has got to stop that, Michael.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I think Bill Gates is the Montgomery Burns of left
wing environmental climate changes, the end of the world belief.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
What is Bill Gates? Yes, okay, I missed the the
very beginning of that. So Governor DeSantis has announced that
is an Angela Moody, who's the current Attorney General of Florida,
to be the replacement in the US Senate for Marco Rubio.

(29:53):
So we have another female going to the US Senate,
and she as best I I can recall from things
I've read about what she's done. She's been pretty good
on been very good I think on immigration.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Wait a minute, I thought US Republicans were racist, sexist bastards.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Well, maybe she's not really a woman. Did you ever
think about that? Sorry, maybe we just jumped to a
conclusion because she looks, act speaks, walks everything like a woman,
that she is a woman, and maybe she's not. My mistake.
I was listening to so. I had Fox News on
Alexa the other day while I was doing some work

(30:34):
because I didn't want the TV on or anything, and
they were interviewing Caitlyn Jenner, and it just caught my
ear because Caitlyn Jenner still sounds like Bruce Jenner. I
just landed it all. In an interview with The Post,
doctor Jill Biden reflected pretty bitterly on Pelosi's betrayal. Biden,

(30:59):
about her husband's getting sidelined, said this, let's just say
I was disappointed with how it unfolded. I learned a
lot about human nature. When she was asked specifically about
Nancy Pelosi, doctor Jill Biden said, I've been thinking a
lot about relationships. It's been on my mind a lot lately.

(31:20):
We were friends for fifty years. It was disappointing. Really,
you've been in d C for fifty years and you
don't realize that it's a backstabbing, throat slitting dog eat
dog world in d C. Here you must be new year.

(31:43):
Just before twe am on past Tuesday, Biden's Justice Apartment
hand picked Trump prosecutor Jack Smith let go of his report.
Released his report on the investigation the resulted in the
indictment of Trump on four counts of involved to involve
the twenty twenty election and the riot we just talked

(32:05):
about on January sixth. It didn't have a lot of
new information in it. Smith has poured out his evidence
in filing after filing for more than a year. So
what else could he say? That he had spent all
that time and money and started up the country so
much on the case that he thought he was going
to lose. Of course, he expressed confidence, I could have well,

(32:25):
I could have won. I could have won. You know,
there's one aspect of his prosecution that stands out, the
single guiding fact of his prosecution that he was working
to indict, try convictim jail Trump before the twenty twenty
four election. But he couldn't admit that. Why because the

(32:46):
Department of Justice guidelines unambiguously forbid that kind of political move. Quote,
federal prosecutors and agents may never select the timing of
an action, including investigations, criminal charges, or statements, for the
purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of
giving an advantage or disadvantage to any Canada or political party.
But that's exactly what Jack Smith was doing. And he

(33:10):
thought that in that filing that he made before the election,
wanting to release everything was in his file. Suddenly, prosecutors
rarely do, I mean, they have to disclose it to
the defense, but to release it to the public. That
just proves that that is exactly what Jack Smith was
trying to do. Even even Biden was angry that Smith

(33:36):
and Merrick Garlin for that matter, who appointed Smith back
on November of twenty twenty two, that they got a
slow start in the Trump prosecution. You remember, Jack Smith
indicted Trump in August twenty twenty three, and by the
end of the year he was racing to get the
former president into a courtroom. But he would never admit

(33:57):
that he was in a hurry and so now out
at the last ditch, Smith said that the public interest
in the case requires immediate resolution of the immunity question,
