1-15-25 - 8am - BlackRock Backs Out of Net Zero and Border Numbers & Dreamers

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Soulski's rules for radicals.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
One of them is make the enemy live up to
his or her standards, and that's what they were doing
with Pete had six. We're supposed to uphold the standards
that we believe in, while the Democrats, hey, we're Democrats.
We can do whatever we want.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Yeah, and that'usly what they're trying to do. Bring that that's.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
How they play and we're not going to play that
game anymore.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, they're trying to bring us down to their standards,
not up to their standards. So I wanted to swerve
into a discussion about how this disruption is and the
Trump effect is already having uh an effect on society.
But Pam Bondi, the nominee for the Attorney General, who's
also going to be a disruptor, is starting her opening

(00:46):
statement Dragon, we don't need to go backtrack because she
was just doing all the thank yous. Can we just
dip into it now and see what she has to say?

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Workers and ranking Member Durbin, if you want to get
dirt on me, these women have known me since I
was a child. Seriously, most of them, so thank you
for indulging me in that. They've all made a very
long trip to be here, and thank you for holding
my hearing as well and not postponing it. I appreciate that.

(01:14):
Thank you all. From the moment I interned at the
State Attorney's Office in Tampa, Florida, all I wanted to
do was be a prosecutor. The Supreme Court certified me,
and I had four jury trials while still in law school.
Lost most of them, but had four jury trials and
never wanted to do anything else. I continued my career there,

(01:38):
trying everything from DUI's domestic violence cases, capital murder cases,
the whole gamut. I became a lead trial attorney in
courtroom every day trying career criminals, was deputy chief of
a division, and then ultimately was Spellingy Bureau chief, and

(02:00):
eventually left to become Florida's thirty seventh Attorney General for
the State of Florida. Nothing has impacted my career more
than my experience as a state prosecutor because I got
to know and still keep in touch with many victims
and their families from when I was a prosecutor. Upon

(02:24):
becoming Attorney General in twenty eleven, I proudly served for
two terms. I was term limited. I would probably still
be there right now had I not been kicked out
of office by term limits. I loved being Attorney General.
I did my best to keep Florida safe, to continue
to stand up for victims of crime, and to fight

(02:46):
the opioid crisis and the drug crisis that was not
only facing Florida but this entire country. Out of the
top one hundred, this is one of the things I'm
the most proud of. Oxycode and dispensers in the entire country.
I believe it was ninety eight of them ninety or
ninety eight of them lived in Florida. We fought for

(03:11):
tough legislation. Kids were dropping dead every day. We fought
for tough legislation, and after that legislation, none of those
opioid dealers doctors practiced in Florida. We fought to eliminate
human trafficking by raising awareness and prevention and talking to

(03:33):
parents and talking to children. We also provided critical resources,
including safe houses that my state was lacking. On the
civil side, we worked to protect consumers. We tackled everything,
including off label prescription marketing, which affects, as you know,

(03:55):
many many people who can't afford prescriptions as well.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Okay, my Adhd is kicked in. This is a recitation
of the things that she did as AG and all
that's great. We'll wait until the fireworks start because I
need the fireworks. That's what I need. I want to
hear Dragon, if you're monitoring it, or if I see
anything on the closed caption, if and when she starts

(04:20):
talking about what she wants to do is AG, then
we'll dip.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Into that and listen to that. But I just got it.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Yeah, I can't do any more of this. This is
a problem, which is you have to do that. You've
got to establish a baseline in these hearings. And again,
as I told you yesterday, these opening statements are vetted
out the wazoo. In fact, sometimes I've probably vetted too much,
and this sounds like one that may be. So I

(04:46):
want to go back and I want to talk about
this whole concept of disruption and how this is what
we voted for, this is what we're going to get
and the challenge for us is going to be. And
I know that many of you, when I say this,
are thinking, well, I'm not going to do that. By golly,
I don't care for whole house burns down. Well, that's
what you think until the fire start nipping at your

(05:07):
feet and then you're like, oh, wait a minute, I'm
not sure I wanted this fire. After all, It's just
human nature. And while you know, I'll use myself as
an example, I don't mind confrontation, and I certainly don't
mind controversy, and oftentimes I either create it or I

(05:29):
jump into the middle of it.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
But truth be.

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Told, if I could avoid it, I would avoid it.
Like it's just not always pleasant. It's how I'm trained,
It's how I'm professionally trained it, and I think I'm
frankly damn good at it. But you know what, if
I can do something a non confrontational wave, then clearly

(05:53):
I'll do that. I'm not a very good judge, honestly
about when confrontation is appropriate and not appropriate. I push
the envelope as I say, Well, Trump, and I'm not
certain trying. I'm certainly not comparing myself to Trump. But
Trump is one of the guys that just always says

(06:19):
what he thinks, sometimes without thinking I think, and that
causes people to, oh my gosh, just like you go
shoot those protesters in the leg. Well, you know that
we've joked on this program about how absurd it is
to think that, oh, you can stop that felon by
just shooting him in the leg. It's just not realistic.

(06:41):
And it's why. And I forget who this quote needs
to be attributed to, or I'm paraphrasing it, but someone
once said that with Trump, you need to quit taking
him literally, but you do need to take him seriously.
And I think that's true. And I think that whether
it's industrial, business, financial, social, Hollywood celebrities, celebrities, whatever it

(07:12):
might be, I think that many of them are beginning
to understand that they have to take him seriously. By
the way, someone asking on the text line, this is
just a footnote. I always refer to three assassination attempts
because we always forget about the third one. Even though
the US Marshall's Office doesn't claim that the third one

(07:34):
really was an assassination attempt. I think it was, and
I just don't think they had the proof. So you
had Bucks County in Pennsylvania, obviously, then you had the
golf course, and then everybody forgets about the I think
it was California, the rally where they arrested a guy
that had several passports, a horde of cash, and a

(07:55):
whole bunch of weapons outside the rally. Now he's been arrested,
I think, charged with different felony charges. But they claim that, oh,
he wasn't there to assassinate the president. Okay, well, whatever
you want to tell us, that's fine. I don't believe it.
I think it was someone who is who was opportunistic,

(08:16):
maybe planned, not planned. But how many of you travel
around with three or four passports? Now I'm not gonna
ask you how many of you travel around with three
or four weapons, but how many of you travel around
with maybe an automatic weapon? I certainly don't, and I
only have, well, I've got two passports. I have an
official passport and in a typical US passport. But none

(08:39):
of them are fake. They're all in my name. They're
all legitimate, but not so much in the case of
the guy. And again, I think it was California. So
I do believe that there were there were two obvious
that there was a third attempt that never got anywhere.
So let's go back to this idea that the Trump
effect is already is already taking place. Blackrock Evil Blackrock,

(09:01):
whether they have ten trillion dollars or something in in
uh under under their control. They announced at the beginning
of this month, a couple of weeks ago, that they
were leaving the Net Zero Banking Alliance. What what the
hell's that? Well, that's the ESG Climate Coalition that is

(09:25):
just dead set on making certain that all these corporate
America adopts ESG environmental, social and government governance policies, and
of course the Net Zero Banking Alliance, which is you know,
we're not going to finance, we're not going to invest in,
we're not going to participate in anything that has to

(09:47):
do with net zero. Blackrock has left, but do you
realize that they're not the first. That move follows the
departure of the six biggest US banks JP Morgan, Goldman, Sachs, Wells, Fargo, City,

(10:12):
Bank of America, Morgan Stanley. That does say JP Morgan.
I think JP Morgan. They all left the group after
election day. They didn't waste any time. Charlie gasprin over
at Fox News, A New York Post first broke the

(10:32):
black Rock news by posting on x that it represents
a quote massive blow to the ESG investing movement. So
this Stupid movement was established back in twenty twenty one
during the Biden administration at the height of the COVID hysteria,
under the auspices of the United Nations. Now initially the
Net Zero Banking Alliance attracted about forty three forty four

(10:54):
major global banks, obviously a huge proportion a portion of
the world's banking assets. They were committed to a set
of I believe anti human principles that included transitioning to
net zero emissions, in essence, rolling back human progress for

(11:16):
the sake of the climate hoaxed narrative. The initiative was
launched with the goal of They wanted to align the
banking sectors lending their investment in their capital market activities
with the objective of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions
no later than twenty fifty, preferably sooner than twenty fifty,
and they wanted to achieve those targets by claiming, based

(11:39):
on the opinion of selected scientists climate scientists think those
on the payroll of the cabal, that we as humans
had the ability and the resources to dial back the
temperature of the Earth a few degrees fahrenheit above what
were pre industrial levels. Of course, nobody ever tells you

(12:02):
what that temperature is, and they never tell you that
those maneuvers will somehow harm the world's population for the
sake of the climate narrative cabal that wants to to
take us back to pre industrial America, pre industrial world
for that matter. The Net Zero Banking Alliance really was

(12:25):
nothing more than this massively powerful banking cartel that pushed
these incentives that are really poisonous to harm the flourishing
of mankind. It was insanely destructive to innovation and progress.
It was a series of initiatives, initiatives, and all these initiatives,

(12:47):
if you just you know, kind of grouped them together
and said, what do they do? They undermine economic freedom,
and I think even more insidious than that, they destroy
national sovereignty. It was a global governance. The Net Zero
Banking Alliance was a global governance aspect of the UN

(13:09):
that put American banks at the odds with interests of
their own customers and their partners. It's an extreme environmental
policy ideology that was dictating domestic banking practices. Imagine that
you want to go, You've got a great idea, and

(13:32):
you need an investment firm. You need a private equity
company to come in and help you get that to market,
but they won't do it if it's not carbon neutral
or even better, is somehow going to reduce the carbon
output of whatever it is that you've come up with.

(13:54):
It was ideology imposed on the financial sector.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
That do well.

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Obviously, if you understand anything about economics, that distorts free markets.
Why because it commits the banks to following specific ideological goals,
and it forces those banks to prioritize political objectives over
economic reality. So what happens That means that the capitals

(14:23):
those banks would put to use would be misallocated towards
destructive projects. But hey, they're green projects, so they must
be good. So only people like Michael Brown would call
them destructive because he doesn't like he doesn't like the
Green New Deal. So instead of lending based on the

(14:43):
viability or the profitability of a project, they were forcing
their clients and their partners to meet these arbitrary environmental
I would say, political benchmarks. And what does that do
with that stifles innovation? How often do I talk about
the fact that all these government regulations, including this net
zero banking alliance, When you stifle innovation, you keep the

(15:06):
economy from growing. And when you keep the economy from growing,
that effects well, not just the budget annual budget deficit,
but that affects the national debt because we just keep
spending and spending and spending, Whereas if you innovate, that's
going to help grow the economy, create more taxpayers, create
more gross domestic product. And you know what, we actually could,

(15:27):
through innovation and a growing economy, work our way out
of this national debt. But everything is working against that,
including this stupid net zero banking alliance. So what happened
is Trump's victory had a domino effect. And so now
with the net zero banking Alliance collapsing, what, well, that

(15:50):
means that those big banks, the too big defail banks,
can actually now get back to investing solely based on Hey,
I think that's a great idea. We think there's a
possibility of a really good return of investment. You've got
a good ROI built into your business plan, and we
want to give you a bazillion dollars to help you

(16:10):
do that, as opposed to tell us first, we don't
care about the widget you've invented. We don't care about
the new idea, tell us about how it helps us
get to that zero. It's utterly insane, and if you
want to see the effects of it, the effects of
the Trump effect.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Blackrock.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
Now, granted, Blackrock only followed the six biggest banking firms,
but nonetheless Blackrock itself decided no longer are we going
to be a part of this. This is the Trump
effect in the real world, and it's the same Trump
effect that you're seeing the Republican Party deal with these
nominees right now before our.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Very odd.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
Like I was happy that Senator actually brought up the
incompetence and a wall factor of Lloyd Austin. Finally somebody
showed us that the Democrats actually had a failure the
last four years at the Secretary Defense.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
Bloyd Austin was a horrible second death horrible. And again.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
I don't know that I can draw a cause of
link between the two, but I just tend to think
that if you come from the military and you've risen
to the ranks, those are you in the military who
understand what it takes to rise through the ranks. There's
some stat I forget what it is that we won
World War two with four star generals, and now we

(17:50):
have like forty four or fourteen or whatever the number is,
four star generals. We can't beat our way out of
a paper bag. Those of you in the military, because
I've talked to many of these flag officers, talk about how.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
Almost demeaning it.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Is to work your way up all of the hoops
and things that you do, and all of the conformity
that you It's not about war fighting, it's not about
the troops. It's about you. And then you end up
at raytheon and then you come back and well, where's

(18:28):
your loyalty to the institution or to the complex, the
military industrial complex. In another example, I think of the
Trump effect already playing out. The number of daily encounters
with illegal aliens at the southern border last month hit

(18:49):
their lowest average since July of twenty twenty, and I
think it's because of the impending inauguration of Trump in
just now what five days.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
It's clearly the new Biden border policies that they enacted
not long ago.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Oh okay, well, then let me move on to the
next story. I didn't realize, by the way, how's the
questioning going with Pam BONDI.

Speaker 6 (19:16):
It's all kind of legal East stuff. I'm sure you
would have a field day with it. But it's all
over my head. Oh it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Just looking at it, it doesn't seem to be it's
not exciting. It doesn't seem to be very exciting at all.

Speaker 6 (19:28):
You probably would get excited reading the transcript. Oh that case,
oh this case. Oh I can't believe it.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
But no, just eh eh, okay, all right, Well anyway,
I still think that this decline is that the NGOs,
all of the people that are facilitating.

Speaker 1 (19:49):
All of this invasion, and I think.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
The illegal aliens themselves are now recognizing that, Oh, we
don't know what this whole inauguration thing is, but Trump
becomes president on January twentieth, and it's gonna take us.
You know, we won't arrive until January twenty first, and
there's no guarantee that we're gonna get you know, a

(20:13):
hotel room or meals or anything else, or a phone
or a laptop, clothes, whatever. So so, man, why don't
we put it off and see what happens. According to DHS,
the total number of unlawful immigrants crossing the border and
encountered by federal immigration officials was ninety six thousand last month.

(20:33):
Still stop and think about that. We're sitting here going yay,
the number's gone down, But just last month a small
city moved into this country illegally ninety six thousand. Now
we know that crossings, these illegal crossings can indeed be

(20:54):
seasonal peak crossings occurring in the spring, in the summer,
and then declining when the weather gets it's cooler.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
But the Biden government insists.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
They insist, like dragon, that the decline in the encounters
is because of border security measures that they enacted after
the unchecked flow of illegal aliens became a oh a
presidential campaign issue by Gullia did didn't it? Avee Handra
Majorcus insisted doing a recent press conference that our approach

(21:28):
has been tough, humane, legal and effective.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (21:37):
That's like saying, well, you know what, the uh, the
weather turned cold outside, so we turned the heat up
in the house and the house stayed warm, and that's because, well,
that's because of our policies. Really, no, it's because you
got cold outside and you wanted to stay warm. It's
because you lost an election, or you were losing an

(21:58):
election and you thought you better do on things, so
you go out and campaign about it. But Oditz was
too dumb to campaign on your lives about the new
policies United. Between October twenty three February twenty four, Customs
and Border Protection logged one million encounters with illegal aliens,

(22:19):
and then late last year they saw a concerning increase
in Chinese illegal aliens attempting to enter the country and lawfully.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
So, now what's Trump doing? He's already this is this
is unusual.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Yes, incoming presidents usually, you know, they they've got staff
from the transition team and everybody else that is putting
together like you know, hey, what are the proposals we're
gonna work on? Blah blah blah. But Trump's gone beyond that.
Trump is already actually lobbying and pushing law makers in

(23:00):
Capitol Hill to take up a budget reconciliation bill to
help them begin the removal of tens of millions of
unlawful aliens currently residing in the US. They're already pushing that.
Who was one of his first appointees. In fact, I
think Tom Holman, his borders are may have been the
first announcement, the first announcement that he did not sure

(23:22):
about that, But I think so now to be objective,
there are some concerns that provisions from that legislation that
expands work visas and that does grant amnesty to some
illegal aliens might sneak into the reconciliation bill is sponsored
by Maria Salazar, Republican from Florida. It's called the Dignity Act,
which would drastically expand H ONEB visa caps while at

(23:46):
the same time make it more difficult to put to
deport some illegals already in this country. So I want
to throw out just a thought for a moment, I
can get ready for the nasty text messages in the
nasty talkbacks.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Bring it.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
You have children who were brought here at the age
of five illegally by their parents, parent or parents. Those
are the so called Dreamers. But I want to narrow
it down. I want to narrow the dreamers down a
little bit. I want to narrow it down to a
dreamer who was brought here, let's just say twenty years

(24:31):
ago during the Bush administration. They were brought here twenty
years ago during the Bush administration during another Republican presidency,
twenty twenty five years whatever, whatever that window might be,
and they were five years old at the time, or
let's say they were just one year's old, one year old.

(24:52):
Now they're twenty one, or they're twenty five years old,
and now they've gone to school, or they're going to school,
or they've found a job somehow. I don't know how,
but let's just assume they found a job somehow, and
they're earning their own way through life. They're paying taxes,

(25:12):
they're paying into fight whole Social Security, Medicare and medicate
all of that. They're paying the state income taxes, they're
paying their property taxes, maybe they're renting something. They have
become other than legally they have become citizens of this country.
Are you willing to allow them to stay? You see,

(25:32):
I think I am.

Speaker 6 (25:35):
I think I am because are they actively in the
process of becoming a citis I.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
Think see that's a great point.

Speaker 3 (25:43):
They should also be doing that if they're also in
the process, because it is a convoluted process to apply
for and to start getting that status, or maybe we
need a change in the law. So if you meet
all of those requirements, but you're prohibit it from applying
for citizenship because you were not born.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
Here and you came here illegally.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
Maybe there ought to be an exception made that says,
and if you're doing all these other things, and then
if you start the process for a citizenship.

Speaker 6 (26:18):
Can a minor apply to become a citizen?

Speaker 1 (26:21):
No, I don't think so. Okay, So that's why I
picked twenty years.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
You were about here at the age of one, although
I could I guess I could have picked younger than that, eighteen,
but you're at least twenty one years of age, somewhere
between twenty one and twenty five years of age. And
I wanted that period because I wanted them to have
time to have at least maybe gone to school. If
they were going to go to school, maybe maybe have
graduated from school. But if they didn't go to school,

(26:47):
or maybe they went to a trade school where you know,
nobody cares about citizenship. And you now have a degree
in welding or plumbing or electrician. But you're now working
either for someone or for your own and you're creating jobs,
you're paying taxes, you're doing everything that we expect a

(27:09):
citizen to do.

Speaker 6 (27:10):
And again actively working too, and tacking on the requirement
that you're actively applying to become a citizen.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Should we not allow them to stay and not subject
them to deportation. Now I'm not talking about the parents,
but it could apply to the parents too. How many
would go along with it and how many would oppose it?
So here's your chance to blow up the text line.

(27:40):
Because I've tried to narrow it down as specifically as
I can, maybe there are other ways to do it.
Dragon had a great idea about you need to be
in the process of applying. My response to that is
there may be an impediment to applying because you didn't
come here legally. Well, let's give them the opportunities to apply.
You start the application process, you start going through those procedures,

(28:04):
and we don't deport you. They're tax paying citizens, they're
being productive. They may be the electrician that came to
fix something in your house. Now I don't use it
as an example because that's happened in my house. I mean, seriously,
I'm not using it as an example, but I'm saying
they could have happened somewhere. You wouldn't know. You called

(28:26):
an electrician that got recommended to you next door. You
don't know that they were brought here as a dreamer
and they've got their own electrical business and they serve
a small neighborhood somewhere. What about them?

Speaker 7 (28:38):
Aren't Farrapas and ding Dong. Hey, I hate to try
and get you to chase a squirrel, But with what's
going on in Ukraine, with all these drones shown that
they are very effective in making strikes, what are your
thoughts on maybe an attempt during Inauguration day being that

(28:59):
that was caught crossing the border and had a drone
with him. I hate to say it, but it could happen.

Speaker 3 (29:07):
It's not going to happen. I'm not ready to go
down that here. I am though, going down that rabbit hole,
but I'm not ready to go completely down that rabbit
hole yet. That we have technology that will prevent those
drones from entering the airspace, that airspace will be so
locked down that nobody's going to get within twenty miles

(29:27):
of it. So I'm more concerned about what the Chinese
are doing with their drones and what we're doing with
Chinese technology in American made drones and American made vehicles
and other tech, just American made technology in general. But

(29:48):
I'm I'm still working on that. So let's go back
to the to the whole Dreamer doaka thing. The text
messages are interestingly kind of what I was hoping all
over the place, and I did quickly look up to

(30:08):
confirm that if you are here illegally, can you apply
for citizenship? And there are a couple of exceptions, and
the broadest exception is joining the military. So if you're
here illegally and you sign up to servant in the
armed forces, then you can, and I think you can.

(30:31):
While you are in the armed forces, you're can apply
for citizenship. And if you are a dreamer if remember
the Deferred Action against Childhood Arrivals, I think that's what
DOCA stands for, that you can if you meet certain requirements,
you can apply for citizenship there. Otherwise you cannot do it.
So to the point dragon I were talking about earlier,

(30:54):
there would have to be some tweaking to the law
that would allow an illegal alien to if you meet
all the other requirements that I laid out to then
also start your application for US citizenship. But the interesting
part for me was how the text messages were all

(31:14):
over the place. It was, and let me pull them
back up and let and see what they were. Some
I'd let them, stay with your stipulations, give the green card.
I have a coworker who came from Mexico twenty five
years ago. He came illegally. He ended up getting married.
His wife made him legal to get to be here.

(31:36):
He told me to do this process. He had to
return to Mexico to start the process. Granted he's not
currently a citizen, but he is here legally now. He works, space, taxes,
continues to contribute to our society, and yes, he speaks
perfect English. So people that aren't legally here, make them
do whatever they have to do to become legal, or
to port them until they do become legal. Let's see. Okay,

(32:00):
then you want me to do that, all fair? I'll
do that all fair in a minute. Dreamers should have
to go back home to their country, apply for visa,
return legally, then apply for citizenship, just like my ex
wife's family did in the seventies. Becoming a citizen can't
be such a bribe. Got to want to be a citizen.
I think illegal entry as an adult has to disqualify
for citizenship, but maybe permanent legal status. I hadn't thought

(32:24):
about that that would be an option. Give them a
green card. So you meet everything else, but you can't.
If you want to say that we're never going to
grant your citizenship then perhaps permanent.
