Speaker 1 (00:00):
Previously on your Morning show with Michael dil Choono.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I try not to do this to a news reporter.
I call it the kama Kazi Joe. He's going out
with a bang, not a whimper. He's just taking things down.
So Kamakazi Joe gives sorrows the medal of freedom. He
lets eleven get Mo terrorists out, he goes ahead and
pardons his son, and then the latest offshore drilling bands.
(00:25):
How does Donald Trump get ahead of this now as
he tries to set his agenda in motion on his
way out the door. Well, our national correspondent Rory, when
Neil is covering this top story, obviously trying to throw
a wrench into Trump's drill baby drill plants, right, Rory, Well.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Right, And this is what six hundred and twenty five
million acres of ocean, most of the East Coast to
the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, coast of Washington, Oregon, California,
Alaska's Northern Bearing Sea, all of it will be off
limits to drilling for oil and natural gas, at least
new drilling operations. And I know Donald Trump has said
(01:03):
that he will undo this, but maybe not as simple
as he thinks easier said than done.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah, because of the way it is worded.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
You know, I love these moments because I never know
when you and I are going to disagree.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
But here's the bottom line. I respect Rory, and even
when we don't agree, I still respect his thoughts.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
So I go back to this offshore drilling bands and
this was mainly back you know, just before two thousand
and they were doing this all along the Gulf of
Mexico coast of Florida. And I look back at that
and I think, okay, so we weren't going to drill offshore,
but then China came in and was doing the most
dangerous if you really care about the environment, the most
(01:41):
dangerous slant drilling in the same area. And that's where
you have to remind yourself. We're a world, not a nation,
and so if you're going to focus on this global
warming stuff, you can't just focus around Alaska and nar coasts.
It's what the rest of the world is doing as well.
But that never stops the agenda and the narrative. That's
for sure.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
A couple of I think what you're referring to.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
So you had China doing exploratory drilling off the coast
of Cuba, right off the coast of Cuba, which was
and very close to the obviously the US water So
I think that was the concern there. And then a
lot of the Gulf coast of Florida is already offshore,
especially the Panhandle area, because it's where we train all
of our fighter pilots, you know, that whole top gun thing.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
So there's no drilling.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
In a lot of that area because the maybe uses
it so much. So that's the other reason a lot
of that has been blocked off. And then people are
still feeling a bit stung by deep water horizon from
twenty ten, but that was obviously further in the western
Gulf of Mexico and.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Maura, Alaska much looked like the surface.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Of the moon, you know, right, there's a whole lot
of different areas, and like, oh, that's got a rule.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
That's got a rule. That's got a rule.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
And you know, whether or not Donald Trump wants to
see an oil rig off mar A Lago is and
other issues, So we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I don't know that, you know, I think to some degree,
I know that's the case with John Podesta, who just
went abroad all while the election was collapsing for the Democrats.
He was signing laws into place in other countries which
he had no constitutional authority to do. I know that
it's a big deal with him. I think it was
(03:19):
a bigger deal with Obama and certainly through John Carey,
I guess to some degree in the Biden administration.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
But gee, Roy, let's all play fair here.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Is this political spite or is this a guy who
really cares trying to do some things before he leaves.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I think this is the staff going crazy on their
way out.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
You know, we try to tell people how to think.
This is how I look at it.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The question is how long has Barack Obama been cognitively impaired?
I can tell you on the campaign trail in twenty
nineteen to Obama, Wait Obama, No, I meant Joe Biden. Sorry,
cold medicine. Who's compared? Okay, could be me? Trust me.
I'm not steroids right now bulking up? No so, but
I remember when what was I trying to thought going
(04:10):
to be? Now? Oh, cognitively is cognitally impaired? And I
remember you remember the corn pop story that was on
the campaign trail in twenty twenty, which he basically you
know and I know this because my mother in law, unfortunately,
is in the midst of the journey of the long goodbye,
and they create things in their head that are real
and real things are not real at all, So it
(04:32):
doesn't do any good to try to correct them. But
it is amazing to me how the brain works. And
so my mother in law will do that, and you're like,
wait a minute, are we doing a movie script?
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Here?
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Are we doing something you watched on television last night?
Because they can't differentiate in their memory, and corn Pop
was really the story of what West Side story or
crossing the switch plate quite frankly kind of conflated, and
I was like, man, there's something not going well inside
this guy's head. But I think everybody kind of agrees.
And I think it was before this, after he arrived
(05:02):
in office, the impairment started really setting in. How long
ago and why did everybody cut it cover it up?
And at what point should they have come clean with
the American people? The twenty fifth Amendment maybe even been evoked,
We'll never know. And so but the bottom line of
this long drifting story is we don't know who's been
running the country and we still don't. And I think
(05:22):
the same people have been running the country for four years.
They are taking these spiteful actions while the president's in
New Orleans. But that's my take. I have no way
of proving it, but you kind of have a similar take.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
And now off to Italy, yep. Now off to little
Italy to visit with the pope one last time. All right.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
So the bottom line of this story is its spite,
is it not.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
That's in the eye of the beholder.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
But it's an executive order, an offshore billing, a drilling band.
It affects some of the East Coast, some of the
Gulf Coast, and a good portion of the area around Alaska.
And Trump seems to think, you know, drill, baby, drill,
I'm going to reverse this immediately.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
It may not be that easy. That's the note here,
right right.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
And a lot of this area, you know, they don't
want to drill in any ways.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I mean, it is a mix.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
And yeah, it's not as if every area, every square
mile out there has oil underneath it. So a lot
of this is area they're not interested in at all
in the first place. But clearly this is a pretty
sweeping action and use of the nineteen fifty three Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
You know what, my notes were mostly irrelevant, mostly narrative,
not as easy to reverse. I mean, that's pretty much
the story, isn't it pretty much it We didn't disagree
after see, I was all ready for you to slap
me around, and all you do is.
Speaker 4 (06:37):
Make fun of my cold medicine moment. You have to
slap you around. Now.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Wait, but if slapping me around with an option, I'm
mom down, let's go, let's go.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
If I could sick, it's blocked. If I get sick,
guess who's a villain you? So you better start rooting
for me. I got an I Love you by Roy
and you'll be back in the third hour.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
On the annual Consumer Electronics Show.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Miss a Little, miss a lot, and We'll miss you.
It's your morning show with Michael Delcurno.
