Speaker 1 (00:01):
Last week, you guys were talking about the large amounts
of money that downtown Denver was going to spend to
bring people back there. And do you also remember that
they had banned the food trucks in Lodo to prevent crime. Well,
look at the statistics over the weekend of how many
(00:21):
shootings were in Denver, and several of them were in
downtown Denver. How about we arrest the criminals and prosecute
them and put them in jail.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
You know dragon people who who?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
By the way, have you downloaded the upgraded free to
you iHeartRadio app? Have you upgraded yours?
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I've probably done an update. Yeah, yeah, Well.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Apparently the upgrade allows stupid talkbacks like that to come through.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I mean, they didn't change the talkback feature, they just
changed how you can listen.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Oh well, I thought they'd changed it to filter out
stupid talkbacks like that. And apparently that's a complete glitch.
Because to think that you want to arrest the criminals?
What kind of what kind of communist idea is that.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I can be a total a hole here and say
how many shootings were in Denver over the weekend, and
then that can equate to how many school shootings happened.
We're talking Denver versus all the schools. I don't recall
hearing any news about any school shooting for the past
week at least I could be wrong, but she was
just saying there were multiple shootings in Denver. So one
(01:31):
of these things is more dangerous than the other.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't, you know, I honestly, what's the last school
shooting you remember?
Speaker 4 (01:41):
It's maybe it's because they happened so frequently that we
just don't recall, which there's just so.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Many of them. You just can't remember them, right because.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
I don't They were celebrated, not celebrating, but they were
commemorating the anniversary of Sin Sandy Hook, you know. But
that's that's the only the only thing that I could
think of in recent memory as to any school shooting. Now,
I know that one was what ten years ago, twelve
years ago, so it's been a while at least ten years,
that specific one. But I don't recall hearing any happen.
(02:12):
Let's just go the month of December. Yeah, So one
of these things is more dangerous than the other.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
So the only recent one that pops into my head
is the Nashville shooting. The trans shooting, but I thought
there seems like there was another trans shooting subsequent to.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
That kid that was being made fun of because he
was very effeminate and being called gay. So he went
and you know, shout up the school and that was
post Nashville. Correct, Yeah, because the Nashville one was the
girl pretending to be a guy.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Here's why.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And then this one was a guy who was just
very effeminate and they called him a girl.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Oh think, all right, all right, okay, Well anyway, I
just wanted to point out how stupid it was to
think that, you know, Denver PD is going to go
actually arrest criminals after criminals.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
I know.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Now, if you have an expired plate, or if I
see one more time the stupid overhead signs about put your.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Phone down or get fined. I just want to take
a shotgun blast to.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
Those that don't look down. But make sure you look up.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
But make sure you look up. I know, baby, be
sure to read that. Now stick your head up. So
here's an announcement. You can take this to the bank.
The green energy transition that Denmark started to pursue, it's
totally collapsed. Now if you live in Denmark, you kind
(03:44):
of want electricity, you kind of want natural gas, you
kind of want, you know, fossil fuels to keep your
aus warm. But in short, we'll walk through these. But
brown outs already occurring. They weren't you know, this was
(04:05):
supposed to be completed, this transition by twenty thirty, and
already brann outs are occurring. Denmark has become dependent on
neighboring countries for power. Two thirds of their renewables is
coming from biomass trash. The offshore wind tender has become
(04:28):
a complete fiasco, and the so called energy islands they
were going to create that does have been postponed too.
So a week ago Wednesday, Brian Vad, who is one
of Denmark's leading professors in one hundred percent renewable energy systems,
decided it was time to pull the fire alarm, kind
(04:51):
of like Jamaal Bowman did in Congress. It's time to
sound the fire alarm over possible power shortages.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Now, why would the.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Guy who's who is stridently pushing one hundred percent renewable Yeah,
and by the way, just remember the only reason I
share these stories is because I keep thinking somebody somewhere,
somehow is going to listen to us, and we're going
to avert the same catastrophe. He sounded the alarm over
possible power shortage, and ironically he's one of the same
(05:22):
individuals that for years now has been recommending a one
hundred percent renewable energy system. The headline in the in
the story in which he made the in which he
pulled the fire alarm, the headline is this severe power
shortage threatens Denmark, and his quote for the subhead is
(05:43):
this it is completely unsustainable. So when you think about it,
this one hundred percent renewable energy system is kind of
like an academic or for that matter, even a military
or a female or any sort of table.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Top exercise that has brought us to this outcome.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
It comes after the Danish energy secretary they're tso whatever
it's called, publishes annual report on security of supply, which
makes a simple argument Denmark is going to face severe
power needs in the future. Denmark is also expected to
(06:30):
have the lowest domestic security of supply in the near future,
in as little as ten years. Energinet, their domestic power supplier,
expects domestic production in Denmark to only be able to
cover around twenty five to forty percent of its consumption
(06:51):
in the most critical hours, So for their so called
peak period, they are their level of self sufficiency during
the scarcest the scarcest hours. By the time they get
to twenty thirty four, just ten years from now, they
will only be able to do maybe thirty percent at best.
(07:14):
Other countries like Belgium is at eighty percent, France appears
to be at eighty percent, Norway is at one hundred percent,
the UK is somewhere about seventy percent. Looking through the graphs,
Sweden is around one hundred percent. The system overall is
one hundred percent. Nobody's above one hundred percent. They're all
(07:38):
at one hundred percent or below, meaning that they've got
to look elsewhere for power. They cannot be se it's
not sustainable, it's not self sustaining. And by comparison, countries
like Norway, Sweden, and France are able to cover, as
I said, somewhere between seventy five one hundred percent of
their consumption with domestic production, but that domestic production is
(08:02):
not all renewables. So Denmark will become the most dependent
on its neighbors in the future, all because they're pursuing
this pipe dream in twenty to thirty percent of the year,
Denmark's going to need to import electricity from its neighbors
just to keep the lights on in some hours. Denmark
(08:25):
will need to import somewhere between seven and eleven gigawatts
of electricity by twenty thirty four. And you know, if
that's the current estimate by twenty thirty four, ten years
from now, you know it's going to be five years
or less because the more they push, the more unsustainable
of it is, and the faster this collapse is going
to come. Today, the maximum import requirements in Denmark are
(08:49):
between one and three gigawatts, and they're.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Already saying we're going to need seven to eleven.
Speaker 3 (08:53):
So as AI as the population increases, as we keep
getting forced into more all electric Denmark shows us what
Denmark's the canary in the coal mine. In Eastern Denmark,
imports are needed four percent of the time just next year,
(09:15):
increasing to twenty percent of the time at least by
twenty thirty four, if not earlier, while in Western Denmark
it goes from eight percent of the time to almost
thirty percent before twenty thirty four. So the recommendation by
other experts in Denmark would be to extend the biomass
(09:36):
fired power plants Denmark long into the twenty thirty to
secure supply. Now that's kind of ironic, as all of
these experts have fought against nuclear energy on Dainy's soil
and they've been fighting it for years. So instead they
want us to create more but they don't want us.
They went the Danes to create more trash, more biomass,
(10:00):
so they can go burn it to create more power. It's,
you know, it's true insanity. And yet we just keep
running down this path. When you look over here to
your left and oh, there's oh nuclear energy. We could
do nuclear energy so quickly, so easily if we would
(10:21):
just deregulate. Now, look, you gotta have regulations to build
a nuke plant. I totally get that. You got to
make sure that it's going to be safe, and it's
got all the redundancies and everything else at needse I.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Totally get that.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
But suddenly, because AI is going to need so much power,
they're actually thinking about opening three Mile Island. So the
reality maybe is being he set in in this country,
but it hasn't yet set in in Denmark. So this
guy's colleagues and a former pH d supervisor by the
(10:54):
name of Henry Lund was one of the central figures
in the anti nuclear movement in Denver in denmil in
Denmark back in the nineteen eighties. So that's let's see,
almost fifty years ago they start pushing against nukes and
instead want to go to all renewables. Today, Hendrik Lunn
(11:17):
is a professor at Alburg University in Denmark and the
editor in chief of Elzevir's high impact journal Energy. Henry
Lung said in an article back in twenty twenty that
nuclear energy is not a dream, it's a nightmare. And
they've been publishing reports and articles and how nuclear energy
is not economically feasible in Denmark, at the same time
(11:38):
recommending that biomass plans be extended. So while they recognize
that biomass, which is what they're dependent upon now, is
not going to meet their needs by twenty thirty four,
and I would say probably earlier than that, they still
refuse to accept that nukes might be the answer. Two
(11:58):
thirds of their renewables right now now come from biomass.
And at the same time as this matheson, guy keeps
sounding the alarm and recommends to keep the biomass powered
plants running. The Danish National Broadcaster is airing a documentary
about Denmark's unsustainable use of biomass. In fact, biomass is
(12:18):
the scam that everybody in Denmark fell for. Biomass is
not carbon neutral, it's not sustainable, and it's not green.
It's pretty easy to debunk the myth of biomass as
somehow being climate a climate friendly energy source, and it's
even easier to explore why even green countries like Denmark
may not be as eco friendly as they see. Everybody
(12:42):
keeps telling us that it's it's green and that it's
clean burning bio mass amidst large amounts of coeal to
and toxic particles, and I want to emphasize the different Obviously,
COEO two, even though it's classified as a greenhouse gas,
it's just a naturally a gas. It is released by
the burning of biomass, but more importantly, toxic materials are released,
(13:06):
just like coal does. Is the same thing you're just
trading one fossil fuel for, even though it's not another,
it's not another fossil fuel. Biomass nonetheless releases the same
thing CO two and toxic particles. Biomass emits more CO
two than producing the same amount of energy with coal,
(13:31):
because most biomass, at least in Denmark are whole trees,
and the lower energy density means that more CO two
is being admitted to the atmosphere compared to fossil fuels.
That's according to Science Science dot org. You can go
find the article there. The global consumption of biomass is
(13:53):
growing every year, and a recent study released in the
in the journal Nature, for whatever that worth, shows that
ten percent of the world's total annual greenhouse gas emissions
four years ago in twenty twenty came from burning biomass.
And when you look at the charts that show the
(14:14):
amount of greenhouse gas emissions that come from burning biomass,
it greatly exceeds all other forms of electric production. So
when you think about renewable, renewable is not always synonymous
with sustainable or harmless. And yet Europe, the European Union
(14:39):
at large, continues to make almost sixty percent of its
so called renewable energy from biomass. They're burning the S
word out of everything in Europe, trying to stay renewable
and trying to stay green when it's actually having exactly
the opposite effect. And again go back to Denmark as
an example. Denmark gets thirty five or cent of its
(15:00):
energy from biomass, mostly wood pellets, and they claim that
that's climate friendly. All the politicians lobbs all that's biofriendly,
But the environmental impact is a lot more complex and worrisome.
Bio Fuels and waste account for about thirty five percent
(15:21):
of all of the toxins and all of the particulates
and everything else that ends up in the atmosphere as
compared to oil only four percent more at thirty nine
percent natural gas, which is heavily abundant in which we
could be selling and exporting eleven percent. Denmark is the
(15:44):
largest importer of wood bio mass. More than half of
Denmark's total consumption is already imported, so it's the most
heavily relied upon and they're importing more than half. Now,
let's think about us. This is why we need to
be a net energy exporter, and I know we are
at times now, but we need to.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Be even more.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
So we could one make Dragon happy and refill the
strategic Petroleum Reserve, and we could help our allies like
Denmark and the entire European Union actually benefit from all
of our natural gas. So the whole idea of renewables
(16:26):
and becoming reliable and renewables like ex sales.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Trying to do here in Colorado is failing. In Denmark.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
All we have to do is pay attention, but obviously
we won't because we're idiots.
Speaker 5 (16:44):
Highway I seventy literally bouncing bad road, and I see
the sign that says find start January first for weaving.
What is weaving? Is that drunk driving? Or is that
something that I'm unaware of that we now have to
beware of in Colorado?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Oh that that that PSA is appearing on a podcast
I listened to, and it's incessant. You cannot cross the
double white line in these express lanes. Man, I never
thought I'd be talking about this on air. So confession.
(17:27):
I got a ticket for allegedly doing that. So I
get the I get the It's like getting a one
of these photo radar or red red light camera tickets,
so you get you know, it comes from some ct
IO or something.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
I don't know what's called, and I don't know what
it is.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
I open it up and there is a picture of
me and the beamer somewhere on four seventy, completely in
the express lanes. It doesn't show me or anything. I'm
just in the express lane. Now I start reading through
because I'm I don't often, but I well, maybe I
(18:10):
do often use the express lanes depending on time of day.
I can usually tell by the dollar amount whether or
not that means traffic is heavy. And I can also
look on Google Maps and scroll real quickly. Oh, I'm
looking down and look real quickly on the map, and
I can see, oh, it's all red between let's say
(18:32):
Castle Rock and Monument, or it's all read between twenty
five going four to seventy over to universities. I ande
go home, so I will take the entrance onto the
express lane. So I am eastbound on four seventy so
that I can get onto four seventy east going over
(18:55):
to my son's or I was going somewhere out east.
So I start reading through it and I'm like, I'm
not going to pay this, and then I start looking
through all of the processes. First, you have to pay
the fine within like five days of getting the letter.
Now it's not certified, so how do they know when
(19:15):
I get the letter? Then it's so I'm thinking, oh,
and if you don't pay within five days, it doubles
two one fifty.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
So do I want to take the chance of getting.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Hit for double the amount or do I want to
go through the process to try to get because I
want to see. Okay, if you get all these cameras
on four seventy, show me where I cross the double
white line, and you can request not video, you can
request still photos.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
What good is that going to do me? I want
to see you.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
I want to see where I cross the double white line. Then,
and if you dig around you can find some like
on Reddit and other places next door in some other
places you can find where people have tried to get
the info and the hearing is conducted not by just
(20:12):
like just some schmuck, some bureaucraft. And one woman showed
that she was trying that she she did cross the
double white line because there were emergency vehicles blocking the
express lane and she had her camcorder on and it
shows her pulling over as were supposed to right dragon,
(20:36):
except you can't pull over to the left because there's
a medium, there's there's a there's a concrete barrier there.
So the only her only choice was to come to
a complete stop in the express lanes and cause accidents
or to cross the double white line. So she she
appealed it. They denied her appeal and said, if you
don't like our decision, you have to take it not
(20:57):
to federate to county, to the county court. That sounds
about right, doesn't that sound right? I mean it's a
total scam, A total scam. Now, I don't believe, and I.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
Do think it.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
I do believe and agree with them that it is
dangerous for people to be scooting long in the express lane.
And let's say you're doing sixty five miles now the
speed limit, and people are stuck over here in rush
hour traffic and they're doing five miles an hour, and
then they try to cross the double white line and
they pull in front of you. Yes, that's going to
cause an accident. I don't think you should do that.
(21:29):
But there ought to be some reasonable due process by
which you can challenge this, and there is none, none whatsoever.
So that's what they're referring to. And they're specifically these
PSAs are about the Central I seventy Express lanes, the
North I twenty five Express lanes, and the I twenty
(21:51):
five gap express lanes between Castle Rock and Monument.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
This is a total scam, total scam.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
There's no due process, there's there's nothing. And so I
keep in fact I still have it because I may
still request the photos even though I've paid the fine,
because I want them to prove, prove to me where
I double cross those lines, because I've been I've warned Tamen.
I warned Tamor about it when they first started imposing
(22:19):
those fines, because I didn't want her to accidentally get
stuck with the seventy five dollars fine. And I was
aware of it, and I certainly didn't do it, so
I had no clue when it happened. I mean, I
have no clue how I crossed the double white line
when I was already in the express lane trying to
stay in the express lane all the way to four seventy. Eatmail, Governor,
(22:43):
You suck, You totally sucked. And the stuff that's going
on in this country absolutely disturbing. Donald Trump might as
would be president. He was well, in fact, he still
is making statement, but he's talking about Ukraine. I don't
want to hear about that. I want you to hear
(23:04):
from the Soft Bank CEO, one of the largest banks
in Japan in the world for that matter.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Thank you so much. I'm very, very excited.
Speaker 6 (23:16):
I would really like to celebrate the great victory of
President Trump, and my confidence ever to the economy of
the United States has tremendously increased with his victory.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
Take that, Joe Biden.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
My confidence in the US economy has greatly increased since
the election of Donald Trump.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
So because of that, I'm now excited to commit this
one hundred billion dollars and one hundred thousand jobs into
the United States.
Speaker 3 (23:53):
One hundred billion dollars, one hundred thousand jobs. The soft
Bank wants to invest into this country to create you know,
these jobs. And I don't know whether they're going to
expand you know, their own business or other businesses or what.
But Trump's already he's already, he's already bringing peace to
(24:14):
the Middle East by actually he's not doing it, net
and y'all who is because net y'allhoo now knows that
Trump is like releasing the hostages, We're going to blow
the crap out of you. And Japan is like, ooh,
maybe we got to put some money into the us.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
This is double of last time, as President Trump said,
because I say, oh, President Trump is a double down president.
I'm going to have to double down. You know, have
the video, dollars and one hundred thousand jobs. This is
you know, my my confidence revel because that has doubled down.
(24:51):
So I am truly excited to make this happen. And
of course business is important, technology is important. But one
more thing I'm really hoping is that this president Trump
would make the world, bring the world into peace again.
(25:17):
That's my additional hope, and I think he will actually
make it happen. So anyway, I'm excited to go.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
And we were discussing.
Speaker 6 (25:32):
And said, Marsa, you know, double that is not enough.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
Maybe you know, go for more. Right, That's what I'm
going to ask him right now.
Speaker 7 (25:42):
Would you make any two hundred million dollars?
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I said, because.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
Trump is such an ass, he's a total lass. Okay,
you you doubled it from last time. You're gonna put
one hundred billion dollars into the country. I'm going to
call you double down. You'll, mister president, call you double down.
Since you've doubled down, maybe I'll just double down. I'm
afraid you might ask me, well, I just might. Why
don't you just double it?
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Now? Say if a hundred billion, won't you make it
two hundred.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Billion dollars right there in front of the TV cameras.
Speaker 6 (26:15):
Wow, my promise is how you know, Jesus, and I'll
ask him to do more.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
My promise is one hundred I'll you know, I'll go
back to my board and talk about it. That's the
best I can do right now.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I love that He laughed too, so he knows it's
you know, it's it's something to be jovial about and
just have fun with, right, just have.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
You're right, Yeah, you want me to double down? Okay,
Well yeah, that'd be fun. But you know, maybe I
you know, I actually do have to go talk to
my you know, to my board and see if they
want to double it down.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Amazing.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
You know what you need to do now? Trump needs
to tell Congress, in whatever tax packages put together, lower
the corporate tax rate to fifteen percent, make it, make
it significantly lower, and make it the lowest in the
entire world, and you'll watch capital just start flowing into
this country. It'll be the Europeans, the Japanese, South Americans,
(27:10):
and if you don't think it can't be done, mlu
the President of Argentina, which is what we're going to
talk about tomorrow. They have shown. My promo for tomorrow
is this. He is shown that by cutting regulations you
cause prices to go down by some thirty So decrease
(27:32):
the corporate income tax and start cutting taxes as much
as you possibly can, not just for corporations, but make
the Trump tax cuts from four years ago permanent or
even add to those, and watch this economy just take
off like a like a SpaceX rocket ship.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That's exactly what it'll do. I think you know it.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
With you.
Speaker 7 (27:59):
My will, I will try to make it happen. He
is a great And you're going to say.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
That this little Japanese guy is probably at least four
feet shorter than Donald Trump is, and Trump Trump grabs
him around the shoulder and just pulls him into his armpit,
just grabs him and pulls him into an arm pin
like a you know, some sort of oh, kind of
(28:33):
like a Daniel Penny necklock of some sort. Better watch
out that Trump guy might be a dangerous self defense guy.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
Hey, Michael, I actually heard you say nuclear two times.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
You're getting better.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
There's a big, big difference between nuclear and nuclear nuclear, nucularucular,
George Bush nuclear.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Remember when Michelle my Belle What a Dragon's Favorite Women
declared that there were food deserts. I still every time
I see that phrase, I think food desserts, but it's
food deserts.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
I do enjoy a good food dessert.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
I think we need more food desserts now. It's not
just pharmacy desserts or food desserts or deserts. Those are
all still in fashion. And you know what we need is,
as you know, I haven't done that story in a
(29:45):
long time.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Government run grocery stores. We should do that again.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
But according to a spokesperson for the company Safeway, we'll
be shuttering its location in the Fillmore neighborhood of San
Francisco Why vote due to the ongoing concerns about associate
and customer safety, as well as persistent issues with theft.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
God I love California.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
The local media is reporting that Safeway wanted to close
it a while ago, but yielded to pressure from local
politicians because we don't want no food desert or grocery
store desert in our town.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
Ticking on anybody who wants to go to this safeway
in the Fillmore district. They actually wanted to close it
in spring, but as you mentioned, the city pushed for
them to continue going and they signed an eleventh month extension.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
But now it.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
Says it will close on February seventh of next year,
so less than two months from now.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
They tried and tried to make it work.
Speaker 9 (30:47):
It's actually been here for forty years.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
They said.
Speaker 9 (30:51):
Retail theft as far as you know, people going in
there grabbing things so horrible that they actually removed the
self checkouts. Then they were worried about the customers and
the employee's safety that they said it just was not
cost effective enough for them to continue going, and that's
why they announced that they will shut this down.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Many people don't like it.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
In fact, it was their resistance that caused the city
to step in to talk to Safeway to have even
eleven months extra for it to continue. But February seventh
is the deadline. Many people are fearful James, that without
this safeway in place, it would create a food desert.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Many people there are a.
Speaker 9 (31:34):
Lot of places around here that they can walk to
the Safeway, and with its closing, the nearest Safeway is
about one to two miles from this location in the
Castro district, And that stuff for a lot of people
who don't have access to transportation or simply not able
to get to that location.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
So, you know, as it stands right now, shoplifting is
effectively legal, in fact, probably even encouraged. And GOA and
the liberal MEC of San Francisco, Well, that's ground zero
for the deliberately engineered shoplifting epidemic. But whose fault is that?
Whose fault is it? I know you want to say
that it's Gavin Newsom or the mayor of San Francisco,
(32:14):
or just liberals and fat Marxist in general. No, it's
Safeway's fault. Why because they're racists. Providing themselves with proof
of racism is among the motivations for liberals to make
it infeasible to run a store.
