Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael, no correlation between you and fecal matter or causation.
You don't create fecal matter, then I suggest you have
you talk to your doctor about your digestive system.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Okay, man one mentioned the fecal matter. That's all we
hear about is figel matter, figal matter, figal matter. Speaking
of fecal matter. I was listening to the ABC and
there's let me see if that's in there in our.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Hang on, hang on?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Uh. ABC was talking about a Newark and the shutdowns.
Here see let's see, uh, take a listener.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Pilots can fly the instruments in their cockpit to a
safe landing. They also have gear within the cockpit that
allows them to know if they're getting close to another airplane.
But having no radar, no communication with ATC is an
extraordinary event and it's very dangerous.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, you're you're flying blind. And imagine if it's IFA.
Maybe it's instrument flight rules not visual flight rules.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Then?
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Pilots can be heard learning of the outage over the radio.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I just gusshold its approach loss that all the radars,
three of the four radar screens flock.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
They have no frequency.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
The Union representing the controllers releasing a statement saying the
controllers then took time off due to quote a traumatic
event as allowed by federal law. It could be weeks
before travelers see relief as the airline industry grapples with
an ongoing air traffic controllers shortage.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You know, a part of me says, suck it up, buttercup,
uh tho's moomen need you more than ever. And I
know it probably was traumatic for all your instruments to
go out and hus lose contact with all the planes
flying into an out of EWR. But good grief, maybe
you ought to really suck it up and and be
(02:01):
there for the people who are flying in and out
of the in and.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Out of the airport.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Terrifying new developments at Newark's Liberty Airport, ABC News learning
air traffic controllers lost radar and communications with planes packed
with passengers for sixty to ninety seconds. A system wide
outage last Monday at a Philadelphia facility that manages the
airspace around Newark Airport caused controllers to lose the ability
(02:27):
to see here or talk to all arriving and departing
aircraft at one of the busiest airports in the country.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Now you may say, well, Michael Y's sixty to ninety seconds, yeah,
and you're flying at you know, three four or five
one hundred miles an hour and you don't see It's
like you can't do it thin because it's raining. But
on the clear day, just even on the clear day,
head down, eye twenty five, head down to twenty five,
get up to you know, eighty ninety miles an hour,
(02:58):
and close your eyes for ninety seconds. I see how
you do.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I would just even give an example of hey, hold
your breath, yeah, for ninety seconds. Ahead, goat, give it
a track. You won't even make it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Thirty And then I look over at Drudge because this
is this is why I got my attention yesterday. Although
the headlines changed somewhat, Drudge right now has has a
picture of Newark and under it in the big bold
black lettering it is not safe panic commit radar radio outage,
(03:31):
United Poles flights inside, multi day meltdown Newark Airport National embarrassment. Well,
what caught my eye yesterday, because I'm obviously a United
Airlines prostitute, I read what the CEO was writing about. Yeah,
we're we don't think it's safe for our customers. We
(03:52):
don't think it's safe for our customers to fly into
one of the busiest airports in the country because between
personnel issues, between equipment issues, between h and I'll just
put an editorial comment in here, between union construction projects
(04:14):
that are probably way over budget and behind schedule, We're
not going to fly in there. So they cut at
least yesterday, the story was they cut thirty five regularly
scheduled flights into Newark off the schedule. Now, when you're
a public trading company and you depend on keeping those
planes in the air in order to you know, like
(04:36):
pay your bills and return this, you know, your obligation
to the shareholders, I'd say it's pretty bad. The point
I want to make about this whole Newark story is
it's a great example of how the country wrint large
is going down the toilet. Now, Newark's always had problems,
but when it gets this bad, you've got and it
(04:59):
says all level of government. It's the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey, it's the State of New Jersey,
and it's the United States government that have all failed,
utterly failed. Now, if I read a headline about some
airport in I don't know the sea. Yesterday we mentioned
(05:20):
the the Democratic Republic of Congo, the DRC, which has
in the northern part of the country the.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Civil war going on.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Well, if I read a headline that it's not safe
panic amit radar radio outage, you know, Air Africa polls
flights inside, multi day meltdown, Congo airport national embarrassment, I'd
be like, yeah, you know, no surprise, but this is
And in fact, when I scroll down and look the
(05:50):
picture that they show of Newark shows the United Gates
and the background Manhattan, we're soft, We really are. This
is just you may think I'm over exaggerating, because I
mean at Denver, you know, we got a relatively brand
(06:11):
new airport that's under constant, continuous construction and reconstruction. But
somebody's making some money on it somewhere. And then I
look at this and I think we really have misplaced
our priorities. Whether it's the US military, it's our domestic airways,
(06:32):
whatever it is, we focus so much on the progressive
agenda that we've totally lost sight of what's important. I
mean this is, you know, air travel, whether it's international
or domestic, is a pretty good chunk of gross domestic product.
It's fairly important. And again there's many difference whether it's
(06:53):
an FBO or a commercial airport like Newark.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You've you're contributing to.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The economy, and when you can't fly in and out
of a major airport like Newark, it's a set back
to the economy. But I think it's also a set
back to our you know, Trump talks about the Golden Age.
That's that's not the Golden Age. That's that's like going
into the dark ages. That's third world banana Republic stuff. Well,
(07:24):
shouldn't be surprised because of the next story I wanted
to do. There's a book about to hit the shelves,
and it kind of gives it kind of pulls back
the curtain on internal discussions that went on inside the
White House during the Biden year, the last in particular
the last year of the Biden administration about the possibility
(07:45):
of Joe Biden taking a cognitive assessment. Now, that issue
obviously gained a lot of traction after that.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
What was it last June.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think it was debate between him and Trump where
he just completely cratered and everybody started questioning finally what
we had been seeing all along about his age and
his mental acuity. The books titled twenty twenty four How
Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America. Now,
(08:22):
as reported by The New York Times, this is not
the book, because I obviously don't have access to the book,
but the New York Times reports that Biden's aides were
sure that he would pass a cognitive test, but of
course we know the rule about the butt. They were
scared to let him take one because they were afraid
(08:44):
that any cognitive assessment that he took would simply reignite
all of the doubts about his mental abilities. So the
Time says that these deliberations took place in February of
last year. The ultimately the President didn't take the test.
So despite all the confidence by the oh yeah, of
(09:06):
course he'll pass it. Of course he he'll pass it.
When he had that really lousy performance during the debate
with Donald Trump, which obviously raised alarms among voters, Democratic insiders,
and quite frankly, among all of us, I don't know why,
like the New York Times wants to point out that
it raised concern among aides and Democratic insiders, What about
(09:29):
the rest of the country. What about us who were
watching the leader of the Free World when he was
at that G seven or G twenty, whatever, whichever one
he was at, and Georgia Maloney, the Prime Minister of Italy,
had to go grab me, remember and bringing back around.
We're watching we're watching this paratrooper. We're not watching that one.
(09:53):
Come over here, mister president, or remember the All these
come back to my mind. Remember when they were having
the uh, the African Dance on the South lawn or somewhere,
and everybody was, you know, chucking and jiving and going
along and moving, and he was just standing there, staring,
(10:13):
not moving an inch with that fake smile. Remember that one.
I'm sure you can remember some too. Why do it
cause me concern? Who's running the country? If the Ruskies
decide to attack, China decides to invade somebody, whether it's
US or Taiwan or somebody, who's who, Who's in charge?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Who's in charge?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Under significant pressure, obviously, Biden chose to step back and
Kamala Harris assumed the mantle, but obviously she she didn't win.
So this book by three US political journalists, one associated
with The Times, The others with the Washington Post. It
(10:59):
suggests an insider perspective into the Democratic camp strategy and
their considerations during the campaign, which once again causes me
to ask, if you had these questions now, or you
had the questions then, why didn't you report it. It's
(11:23):
all you need to know about these particular so tall
putitive journalists. They weren't journalists. They had the info. They
were talking to the insiders, and they knew how bad
it was, and they chose to deep six the story
because they were going to lift a finger or do
anything that might possibly help Donald Trump. They didn't care
(11:46):
about the country. They didn't care about national security, they
didn't care about domestic security. They didn't care about the economy,
they didn't care about immigrations, they didn't care about anything.
They only cared about defeating Donald Trump. They only cared
at their own Democrat partisanship and keeping him in office. Now,
I'd like to know because this is where you know,
(12:07):
I'm going to criticize Trump when I think it's justified,
and here's why, or here's one place where I think
he needs to be criticized and somebody needs to step up.
Pam Bondi we're looking at you. Where's that audio of
Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hurr, despite numerous requests
from all sorts of conservative media, despite no reason at all,
(12:31):
there's no confidentiality involved. He's not going to be indicted.
Nobody's going to go after him. Let's see the record,
because you know, at some point, and I want it
to be while I'm still alive, and I might get
hit by a bus today and I want to see
exactly the I want to see the video, and I
(12:54):
want to hear the audio of the special counsel asking
the president on such and such day, you know, and
and him or turning to his age and going when
when When was I vice president? I don't know, but
I think if I were the vice president, I bet
you could ask Mike Pence. He was in the news yesterday.
(13:14):
I bet you could ask Mike Pence what years he
was a vice president. He could probably tell you. I
might not be able to because I wasn't the vice president.
I bet he could. I bet Joe Biden right now,
I probably couldn't tell you when he was president.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Did he didn't one of the staffers or somebody say
that he thought he was President of the United Nations.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yes, that's right, there was that one too. You and
I could sit here and just brainstorm for the rest
of the program and come up with all sorts of
examples of where he was just completely out of it
when we all watched it.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Anytime he left a stage, you know what it was.
He looked like a lost rumba trying to find its
home base. That was the That was it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, And the one that comes to my partincular mind
was and I forget who the dignitary was. It was
probably some prime minister or somebody, but he introduced the
guy and then he turns around and he looks on
the floor because they've got tape on the floor where
the prime minister is supposed to stand and where he's
supposed to stand. And he walks over and he stands
where the tape is, looks down, realizes, oh, that's not
(14:24):
my name.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
I don't think, not my tape.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
That's not my tape.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And he walks behind the prime minister kind of tapped
him on the shoulder like aha, I'm the wrong place,
and goes over and stands over someplace else. Oh my god,
or remember Barack Obama the fundraiser in LA in Hollywood
where he and George Cleaning were there and they all
stand up, you know, and then Obama has to kind
of take him by the shoulder and literally lead him
(14:48):
off the stage.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Remember when he couldn't remember if he was supposed to
sit or stand.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
It.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I vaguely remember that World War two?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Ye yeah, okay, yes, I do remember that one.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
He couldn't heed to, Oh am I sitting? Am I standing?
Am I sitting? Am I standing?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh? Look around? What am I doing? What am I doing?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And I think didn't Jill reach over and somebody reached
over and told him to sit? Just go in and
sit down or something. But now we're going to get
a book days. Those were the days, weren't they? And
now what do we get? We get an AI generated
photo of Donald Trump as the Pope, and everybody goes ballistic.
(15:28):
Except interestingly, last night I told you I usually watched
Brett Bear where Brett Bear had his panel on and oh,
the radio host I can't think of his name, Hugh Hugh.
It was on and apparently Hugh is a Catholic, a practicing,
a serious practicing Catholic. And he said that he found
the photo funny, just as they taught they He said,
(15:51):
you know, just like I found the photos of or
the jokes about Marco Rubio, uh, someday being the pope,
because he's had every other job. So now let's making
the pope too. The city can't solve, you know, create
world peace by becoming the pope. And Hugh Hewitt joked
about it and said, yeah, I found all this stuff funny.
But nobody can laugh about anything anymore. But this, this story,
(16:13):
this book, this makes what the third book see the
scene of the third or fourth book. We had Jake
Tapper and some co author. Then we had the two
other authors who have a book out, and now we
got this one. So I think in all three they
were all In all three books, the authors or their
co authors are all journalists. How can you call yourself
(16:35):
a journalist when now, now, after it's safe and now
after a well you've lost and Trump's in office. Oh,
now we'll publish a book just about how bad it was.
Inside a cognitive exam, Biden said, the key quote from
the story is this. Biden's aides were confident that he
(16:57):
would pass a cognitive test. According to the book, but
they worried that the mere fact of his taking one
would raise new questions about his mental abilities. I would say,
I bet the real, the real, the real issue was
they were afraid that he couldn't pass a cognitive assessment.
Good grief, you know, I still admit. It's like admitting
(17:18):
to something dirty that you should admit to. I really
would like to read the books. That'll be damned if
I want to buy one.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Michael, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I ain't buy no book about that fool. I'm going
to go to the library and just borrow it.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I think he means the library.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
He does, the library he's got. He's got to go
to the library. I don't know what's this library.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
People keep talking pronunciations today.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
But maybe it wasn't bo de god. It was bogad.
He comes first, he comes first. I got to completelywards
Bogada a bogada.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Next time I go to New York, I'm someplace where.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
There's a boga doll, walk in and say, you got
a really nice bogada here, and they'll say, boy, where
are you from?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Can you show me your panic button?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
That's right, show me your panic button. Let's take a journey.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Let's take a journey on the world that's kind of
been turned upside down, a world where the climate crusade,
that roaring fire, the climate crusade is just well kind
of now burning out, just you know, a few little
coals here and there. But yet Exxon Mobil, the oil giant,
is still chasing the ghost.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Of climate change.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So here it is twenty twenty five, and I'm thinking,
how do I make sense of a story that's kind
of bizarre and revealing at the same time. So remember
we were the world They say we hit peak oil
four years ago in twenty twenty one. Yeah, uh, I
(19:01):
put Gus in one of the cars day before yesterday.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Wait, wait, wait, you must be mistaken because I remember
as a kid watching like Sesame Street and three, two one,
Contact and those shows that peak oil was happening. Then
well that was.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Peak oil one.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I'm talking about peak oil three because we've been through
peak oil one, two and now three.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Gotcha. Yeah, he just got trilogy, the trilogy.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, the trilogy exactly, the Peak oil trilogy. Peak climate
like a fab. It it was a fab. It was
come back again, but but it crested it and then
it crashed Uh, back then, the air was sick. You know,
we had all these promises net zero, EV's green everything.
So what was going on? Well, if you remember companies, governments,
(19:54):
even I don't know, even even Dragon was out to
try to save the planet.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Excellent.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Well, Exon, if you recall back then, was the villain,
the big bad oil company.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
It was digging in its heels resisting the green movement
ban als.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Fast forward to twenty twenty five. So interestingly, now the
world has moved on. We no longer talk about peak
climate or peak oil. As I've noticed over the past
eight six or seven shows, we've done stories about how
the whole climate change narrative is beginning to really change.
(20:37):
And I do believe the world's kind of moving on.
But Exon, Exon Mobile, who was once the big bad
evil person that was not going along with it, is
now out there waving the flag begging for new regulations
that nobody really wants anymore. Well, it all started back
I think in twenty twenty one, the climate movement. I
think that was probably the zenith. Boardrooms buzzing with environmental
(21:02):
social governance. Asset managers were like knights and shining armor,
vowing to punish anybody that didn't bow down to the
climate gods. Inside the Church of the Climate activists, automakers, Oh,
they were just floorboarding it toward EV's turning out EV's
like they were the only cars that ever mattered. There
(21:23):
was a story yesterday about Ford Motor Company that their
EV production almost cost them all of their profits. I
forget what their earnings were last year, but they were
like nothing. There was a story in the Wall Street
Journal yesterday about it. But let's not talk about just
attle makers. All the world's governments too, and they and
(21:46):
some still are. They're signing all those pledges, you know,
all the Parish Climate accords, all that crap net zero
by twenty fifty. Right here in Colorado carbon neutrality. It
was like a global pep rally. And if you weren't hearing,
you were the bad guy. You were absolutely being blasphemous.
In the Church of the Climate activists. Exxon Mobile stood out.
(22:11):
They were the worst of the worst oil rigs, gas pumps.
They were publish enemy number one, and they fought back. Yeah,
they actually fought back. Exxon mobil is not going to
let a bunch of activists tell them how to run
their business. But then came the proxy battle. There was
a proxy battle in twenty twenty one. It was a
(22:32):
shareholders showdown that shook Exxon, shook them badly. Investors were
fed up with the company's defiance. They forced in a
new board. That new board promised to play nice with
the Climate Group, with the Church of the Climate activists.
Exxon the resistor surrendered. They waved the white flag and
joined the Green Army. Now fast forward to today. The
(22:57):
world's a different place. Obviously, the climate crusade. It's it's
barely it's on you. I'm not even sure it's even
on a respirator anymore. Goaverants are backtracking as that managers,
they're loosening their grip. Companies are quietly slipping out of
their net zero promises. And it's because of reality. Turns out,
(23:17):
renewable energy well we have do is look at Spain
and Portugal. It's not the magic bullets of everybody hoped
it was going to be, or that we were promised
it was going to be. We know the wind turbans
don't spend when the wind's not blowing, and the solar
panels don't do much at night or on a day.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Like this.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
No wonder how your solar panels doing on a day
like today. I can't even see I can't even see
you across the street. It's so cloudy out. Germany is
burning coal again, the poster child for green energy policies.
You think about what China and India are doing. They're
building coal plants like it's well, like it's the eighteen
hundreds or something. I don't know, but the world is
(23:54):
waking up to the fact that energy security, energy affordability,
those matter just as much, if not more than emissions.
In fact, I would argue that they actually that matters
more than emissions do. Peak climates coming gone. Exon Mobile
still out there, Exon Mobile, still acting like it's twenty
twenty one. Listen to this. Exon CEO Darren Woods got
(24:22):
on an earnings call, and what does he say. He
tells everybody, all of the analysts on Wall Street they're listening,
that he's all in on these carbon regulations. He's actually
talking about taking advantage of government subsidies for hydrogen, for
carbon capture, for all the shiny toys that all the
people in the church of the climate activists want. He's
(24:44):
pushing for a quote true framework for carbon accounting. He
wants to track every puff of CEO two that I make.
And Exxon's put out a report lamenting that the world's
climate policies are falling short. They're they're proposing something called
(25:04):
product level carbon intensity standards Product level carbon intensity standards,
So those are basically rules for how much CO two
you're allowed to admit when you make a car or
a I don't know what a uh an air air
(25:25):
fryer regulator set the limits. Companies would have to scramble
to meet those limits. They'd have to swap out fossil
fuels for renewables, bio fuels for whatever is green enough
for all the activists, Exxon, Exxon is pitching this like
it's the future, Like the world's begging for more red tape,
like we want more controls, like we don't see through
(25:47):
all the falsehoods of all the alarm is, and that
we've been shut there's been shut down our throats for
the past decades, and the world's actually saying, no, no thanks,
we're good, We're you know what. Chris Chris Wright, Donald Trump,
Doug Burgham, they're all saying, you know what, we're gonna drill.
We're gonna drill. In fact, some of the earnings from
some of the oil companies that were out yesterday, reported
(26:10):
the Wall Street Journal is simply amazing. But why is
Exon doing this? Why is it that a company that
has spent decades fighting fighting climate regulations suddenly actually almost
appears to be out there leading the charge for climate regulations, opportunism,
(26:30):
dollar signs and government subsidies, you know, getting a handout
from taxpayers for carbon capture or hydrogen or you name it.
Other analyst states, just pure survival. After that twenty twenty
one proxy battle, Exon's board got a makeover, and the
(26:50):
new guard is all about looking progressive while trying to
spend another plate and keep the investors happy. So the
climate skeptic spent so long denying the problem that now
they're over compensating, maybe trying to outgreen everybody else, whatever
(27:10):
the reason, it really is a head scratcher because it
seems to me the world's moving on focusing on practical
energy solutions, the Golden age, if you will, Donald Trump,
where we're actually going to focus on nuclear, natural gas,
even coal in some places.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
An Exxon, the big bad.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Boogiey bear from you know, four or five years ago,
is now out there preaching Global CO two rules like
their God's gift to mankind.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
So Exon's pushing for a system. Were some global body, I.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Don't know, United Nations on steroids that they would set
in mission rules for every product under the sun. What
a wonderful bureaucrasy. You talk about a new deep state,
whether it's a factory in Ohio, a textile plant in Bangladesh,
steel meals in China, all well, steel meals in China
(28:11):
probably won't answer it to it, all answering the same
carbon cops. It's it's logistical absurdity, and of course all
of us will pay for it higher prices for your jobs,
supply chains and chaos, and for what because of climate
models that sparked this frenzy to begin with, and the
climate models look shakier every single day. I've got a
(28:34):
story we're going to do today. I'll do it to
more about sea level rise, which turns out that the
models I know comes as a shaker to you.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
The models were wrong in global emissions.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yes they're still climbing, but as we pointed out, I
think it was last week, maybe it was over the weekend. Oh,
Noah's been lying about observed temperatures. There have been fewer
ninety five degree days than at any time in recent history.
(29:07):
That's based on observed temperatures. But you go to the
modeling and the model says, oh, we're gonna have more
ninety five degree days than we've ever had in the past.
So I think what Spain and Portugal tautas, I think
what Exon is showing us. I think what these the
(29:27):
new story out about climate, about sea level rise is
showing us that fossil fuels are still the backbone of
a dominant and reliable energy system. Exon knows that they're
an oil company. So are they acting like they're the
poster child for all the climate activists? The climate movements
(29:50):
left a lot of company stranded chasing these stupid policies
that sounded good. May people all feel good, but they
don't work in the real world. And I think in
examples what I just mentioned earlier about the automakers, they
bet they bet really big on the evs, built whole
factories for them, and then Ford's taking all these gigantic
ride offs. So we're past peak climate. I don't think
(30:12):
I don't think that's about I think that's a good thing.
It means we're finally getting real about energy balancing the
need for power, reliable, sustainable power. And by sustainable, I
don't mean green. I mean that it's always available. We're
not going to abandon in the environment. But Exon Exon
(30:32):
acts like, oh, we got to go back and you know,
readopt all these policies and oh, by the way, government
come and regulate us.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Good grief. Exon bite me.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
They know that they can handle the regulations, but it's
a way.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
For them to keep the competition out of the market.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
But I think it's going to backfire because if you
look at the earnings reports of the other oiling the
big of Big Oil, they're all doing great, and so
it may keep them out of the competition for the
green energy stuff. But I think the green energy stuff
is waning, and so I think they're they're screwing themselves.
(31:14):
As the point of the whole story, I just think
they're screwing themselves. They've capitulated to the act of as
shareholders and now they're going to pay the cost for it.
I don't have the journal up in front of me
right now, but the Journal article is either this morning
editionary yesterday where they listed the I started to do
the story about the earnings in conjunction with that, but
(31:35):
I just skip it. But man, it's obvious that. And
then Journal even points out that a lot of the
earnings are coming from enhanced fracking, expansion of shale oil
fracking and drilling, that the expansion of the new leases.
So all the other companies are taking advantage of that,
(31:58):
and we see what's happening overseas that oil and guess
is not gonna go away, whereas Excellent Mobile wants to
pursue all the green new deal crap.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
So I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I want to go through a couple of text messages,
good it over ninety two twenty four, Mike, why aren't
you talking? Why aren't you talking about the Department of
Justice looking into Colorado for Tina Peters conviction? One because
I don't care? Two because it's not ripe. The story's
not it's not cooked. So when they actually look into
(32:29):
it and they and they decide to or not to
do something, then I might be interested in it. Until
I don't care about that story, and that may piss
you off, but I don't care. Uh, then I get
dragging you like this one twelve forty seven Mike, Hey Dragon,
We have started to show our eight and four year
(32:50):
old boys old TV shows like that. Their favorite right
now is Square One. My husband watched those shows growing
up as well.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
Nice, I was a big fan of. You can't do
that on television. Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I can't tell you what I was a big fan of,
because then that would date mean you go they had
TV then, So I'll just keep my mouth shut. Let's
see now. I know that I have listeners that tune
in from the weekend show and listen to the weekday show,
and I very much appreciate it. But I have a
(33:25):
listener in the nine one six area code, which is
the Greater Sacramento area who writes at nine to eleven
this morning. Detergent bottles tied at least has a rim
on the inside that prevents splashback. They make excellent peeing
(33:47):
receptacles while you're laying down. Depending on how much piss
is in there, you can almost turn it horizontally without
any coming back out.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
I think I've ever been that lazy.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
But thanks well, I have nothing to add to that whatsoever.
Michael, no correlation between you and fecal matter or causation.
You don't create fecal matter, then I suggest you have
you talk to your doctor about your digestive system.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Okay, man one mentioned the fecal matter. That's all we
hear about is figel matter, figal matter, figal matter. Speaking
of fecal matter. I was listening to the ABC and
there's let me see if that's in there in our.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Hang on, hang on?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Uh. ABC was talking about a Newark and the shutdowns.
Here see let's see, uh, take a listener.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Pilots can fly the instruments in their cockpit to a
safe landing. They also have gear within the cockpit that
allows them to know if they're getting close to another airplane.
But having no radar, no communication with ATC is an
extraordinary event and it's very dangerous.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah, you're you're flying blind. And imagine if it's IFA.
Maybe it's instrument flight rules not visual flight rules.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
What do you do?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Then?
Speaker 6 (01:11):
Pilots can be heard learning of the outage over the radio.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
I just gusshold its approach loss that all the radars,
three of the four radar screens flock.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
They have no frequency.
Speaker 6 (01:21):
The Union representing the controllers releasing a statement saying the
controllers then took time off due to quote a traumatic
event as allowed by federal law. It could be weeks
before travelers see relief as the airline industry grapples with
an ongoing air traffic controllers shortage.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You know, a part of me says, suck it up, buttercup,
uh tho's moomen need you more than ever. And I
know it probably was traumatic for all your instruments to
go out and hus lose contact with all the planes
flying into an out of EWR. But good grief, maybe
you ought to really suck it up and and be
(02:01):
there for the people who are flying in and out
of the in and.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Out of the airport.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Terrifying new developments at Newark's Liberty Airport, ABC News learning
air traffic controllers lost radar and communications with planes packed
with passengers for sixty to ninety seconds. A system wide
outage last Monday at a Philadelphia facility that manages the
airspace around Newark Airport caused controllers to lose the ability
(02:27):
to see here or talk to all arriving and departing
aircraft at one of the busiest airports in the country.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Now you may say, well, Michael Y's sixty to ninety seconds, yeah,
and you're flying at you know, three four or five
one hundred miles an hour and you don't see It's
like you can't do it thin because it's raining. But
on the clear day, just even on the clear day,
head down, eye twenty five, head down to twenty five,
get up to you know, eighty ninety miles an hour,
(02:58):
and close your eyes for ninety seconds. I see how
you do.
Speaker 5 (03:02):
I would just even give an example of hey, hold
your breath, yeah, for ninety seconds. Ahead, goat, give it
a track. You won't even make it.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
Thirty And then I look over at Drudge because this
is this is why I got my attention yesterday. Although
the headlines changed somewhat, Drudge right now has has a
picture of Newark and under it in the big bold
black lettering it is not safe panic commit radar radio outage,
(03:31):
United Poles flights inside, multi day meltdown Newark Airport National embarrassment. Well,
what caught my eye yesterday, because I'm obviously a United
Airlines prostitute, I read what the CEO was writing about. Yeah,
we're we don't think it's safe for our customers. We
(03:52):
don't think it's safe for our customers to fly into
one of the busiest airports in the country because between
personnel issues, between equipment issues, between h and I'll just
put an editorial comment in here, between union construction projects
(04:14):
that are probably way over budget and behind schedule, We're
not going to fly in there. So they cut at
least yesterday, the story was they cut thirty five regularly
scheduled flights into Newark off the schedule. Now, when you're
a public trading company and you depend on keeping those
planes in the air in order to you know, like
(04:36):
pay your bills and return this, you know, your obligation
to the shareholders, I'd say it's pretty bad. The point
I want to make about this whole Newark story is
it's a great example of how the country wrint large
is going down the toilet. Now, Newark's always had problems,
but when it gets this bad, you've got and it
(04:59):
says all level of government. It's the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey, it's the State of New Jersey,
and it's the United States government that have all failed,
utterly failed. Now, if I read a headline about some
airport in I don't know the sea. Yesterday we mentioned
(05:20):
the the Democratic Republic of Congo, the DRC, which has
in the northern part of the country the.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Civil war going on.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Well, if I read a headline that it's not safe
panic amit radar radio outage, you know, Air Africa polls
flights inside, multi day meltdown, Congo airport national embarrassment, I'd
be like, yeah, you know, no surprise, but this is
And in fact, when I scroll down and look the
(05:50):
picture that they show of Newark shows the United Gates
and the background Manhattan, we're soft, We really are. This
is just you may think I'm over exaggerating, because I
mean at Denver, you know, we got a relatively brand
(06:11):
new airport that's under constant, continuous construction and reconstruction. But
somebody's making some money on it somewhere. And then I
look at this and I think we really have misplaced
our priorities. Whether it's the US military, it's our domestic airways,
(06:32):
whatever it is, we focus so much on the progressive
agenda that we've totally lost sight of what's important. I
mean this is, you know, air travel, whether it's international
or domestic, is a pretty good chunk of gross domestic product.
It's fairly important. And again there's many difference whether it's
(06:53):
an FBO or a commercial airport like Newark.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
You've you're contributing to.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
The economy, and when you can't fly in and out
of a major airport like Newark, it's a set back
to the economy. But I think it's also a set
back to our you know, Trump talks about the Golden Age.
That's that's not the Golden Age. That's that's like going
into the dark ages. That's third world banana Republic stuff. Well,
(07:24):
shouldn't be surprised because of the next story I wanted
to do. There's a book about to hit the shelves,
and it kind of gives it kind of pulls back
the curtain on internal discussions that went on inside the
White House during the Biden year, the last in particular
the last year of the Biden administration about the possibility
(07:45):
of Joe Biden taking a cognitive assessment. Now, that issue
obviously gained a lot of traction after that.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
What was it last June.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I think it was debate between him and Trump where
he just completely cratered and everybody started questioning finally what
we had been seeing all along about his age and
his mental acuity. The books titled twenty twenty four How
Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America. Now,
(08:22):
as reported by The New York Times, this is not
the book, because I obviously don't have access to the book,
but the New York Times reports that Biden's aides were
sure that he would pass a cognitive test, but of
course we know the rule about the butt. They were
scared to let him take one because they were afraid
(08:44):
that any cognitive assessment that he took would simply reignite
all of the doubts about his mental abilities. So the
Time says that these deliberations took place in February of
last year. The ultimately the President didn't take the test.
So despite all the confidence by the oh yeah, of
(09:06):
course he'll pass it. Of course he he'll pass it.
When he had that really lousy performance during the debate
with Donald Trump, which obviously raised alarms among voters, Democratic insiders,
and quite frankly, among all of us, I don't know why,
like the New York Times wants to point out that
it raised concern among aides and Democratic insiders, What about
(09:29):
the rest of the country. What about us who were
watching the leader of the Free World when he was
at that G seven or G twenty, whatever, whichever one
he was at, and Georgia Maloney, the Prime Minister of Italy,
had to go grab me, remember and bringing back around.
We're watching we're watching this paratrooper. We're not watching that one.
(09:53):
Come over here, mister president, or remember the All these
come back to my mind. Remember when they were having
the uh, the African Dance on the South lawn or somewhere,
and everybody was, you know, chucking and jiving and going
along and moving, and he was just standing there, staring,
(10:13):
not moving an inch with that fake smile. Remember that one.
I'm sure you can remember some too. Why do it
cause me concern? Who's running the country? If the Ruskies
decide to attack, China decides to invade somebody, whether it's
US or Taiwan or somebody, who's who, Who's in charge?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Who's in charge?
Speaker 2 (10:38):
Under significant pressure, obviously, Biden chose to step back and
Kamala Harris assumed the mantle, but obviously she she didn't win.
So this book by three US political journalists, one associated
with The Times, The others with the Washington Post. It
(10:59):
suggests an insider perspective into the Democratic camp strategy and
their considerations during the campaign, which once again causes me
to ask, if you had these questions now, or you
had the questions then, why didn't you report it. It's
(11:23):
all you need to know about these particular so tall
putitive journalists. They weren't journalists. They had the info. They
were talking to the insiders, and they knew how bad
it was, and they chose to deep six the story
because they were going to lift a finger or do
anything that might possibly help Donald Trump. They didn't care
(11:46):
about the country. They didn't care about national security, they
didn't care about domestic security. They didn't care about the economy,
they didn't care about immigrations, they didn't care about anything.
They only cared about defeating Donald Trump. They only cared
at their own Democrat partisanship and keeping him in office. Now,
I'd like to know because this is where you know,
(12:07):
I'm going to criticize Trump when I think it's justified,
and here's why, or here's one place where I think
he needs to be criticized and somebody needs to step up.
Pam Bondi we're looking at you. Where's that audio of
Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hurr, despite numerous requests
from all sorts of conservative media, despite no reason at all,
(12:31):
there's no confidentiality involved. He's not going to be indicted.
Nobody's going to go after him. Let's see the record,
because you know, at some point, and I want it
to be while I'm still alive, and I might get
hit by a bus today and I want to see
exactly the I want to see the video, and I
(12:54):
want to hear the audio of the special counsel asking
the president on such and such day, you know, and
and him or turning to his age and going when
when When was I vice president? I don't know, but
I think if I were the vice president, I bet
you could ask Mike Pence. He was in the news yesterday.
(13:14):
I bet you could ask Mike Pence what years he
was a vice president. He could probably tell you. I
might not be able to because I wasn't the vice president.
I bet he could. I bet Joe Biden right now,
I probably couldn't tell you when he was president.
Speaker 5 (13:29):
Did he didn't one of the staffers or somebody say
that he thought he was President of the United Nations.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Yes, that's right, there was that one too. You and
I could sit here and just brainstorm for the rest
of the program and come up with all sorts of
examples of where he was just completely out of it
when we all watched it.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
Anytime he left a stage, you know what it was.
He looked like a lost rumba trying to find its
home base. That was the That was it.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Yes, And the one that comes to my partincular mind
was and I forget who the dignitary was. It was
probably some prime minister or somebody, but he introduced the
guy and then he turns around and he looks on
the floor because they've got tape on the floor where
the prime minister is supposed to stand and where he's
supposed to stand. And he walks over and he stands
where the tape is, looks down, realizes, oh, that's not
(14:24):
my name.
Speaker 5 (14:24):
I don't think, not my tape.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
That's not my tape.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
And he walks behind the prime minister kind of tapped
him on the shoulder like aha, I'm the wrong place,
and goes over and stands over someplace else. Oh my god,
or remember Barack Obama the fundraiser in LA in Hollywood
where he and George Cleaning were there and they all
stand up, you know, and then Obama has to kind
of take him by the shoulder and literally lead him
(14:48):
off the stage.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Remember when he couldn't remember if he was supposed to
sit or stand.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
It.
Speaker 5 (14:54):
I vaguely remember that World War two?
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Ye yeah, okay, yes, I do remember that one.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
He couldn't heed to, Oh am I sitting? Am I standing?
Am I sitting? Am I standing?
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Oh? Look around? What am I doing? What am I doing?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
And I think didn't Jill reach over and somebody reached
over and told him to sit? Just go in and
sit down or something. But now we're going to get
a book days. Those were the days, weren't they? And
now what do we get? We get an AI generated
photo of Donald Trump as the Pope, and everybody goes ballistic.
(15:28):
Except interestingly, last night I told you I usually watched
Brett Bear where Brett Bear had his panel on and oh,
the radio host I can't think of his name, Hugh Hugh.
It was on and apparently Hugh is a Catholic, a practicing,
a serious practicing Catholic. And he said that he found
the photo funny, just as they taught they He said,
(15:51):
you know, just like I found the photos of or
the jokes about Marco Rubio, uh, someday being the pope,
because he's had every other job. So now let's making
the pope too. The city can't solve, you know, create
world peace by becoming the pope. And Hugh Hewitt joked
about it and said, yeah, I found all this stuff funny.
But nobody can laugh about anything anymore. But this, this story,
(16:13):
this book, this makes what the third book see the
scene of the third or fourth book. We had Jake
Tapper and some co author. Then we had the two
other authors who have a book out, and now we
got this one. So I think in all three they
were all In all three books, the authors or their
co authors are all journalists. How can you call yourself
(16:35):
a journalist when now, now, after it's safe and now
after a well you've lost and Trump's in office. Oh,
now we'll publish a book just about how bad it was.
Inside a cognitive exam, Biden said, the key quote from
the story is this. Biden's aides were confident that he
(16:57):
would pass a cognitive test. According to the book, but
they worried that the mere fact of his taking one
would raise new questions about his mental abilities. I would say,
I bet the real, the real, the real issue was
they were afraid that he couldn't pass a cognitive assessment.
Good grief, you know, I still admit. It's like admitting
(17:18):
to something dirty that you should admit to. I really
would like to read the books. That'll be damned if
I want to buy one.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
Michael, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I ain't buy no book about that fool. I'm going
to go to the library and just borrow it.
Speaker 5 (17:41):
I think he means the library.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
He does, the library he's got. He's got to go
to the library. I don't know what's this library.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
People keep talking pronunciations today.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
But maybe it wasn't bo de god. It was bogad.
He comes first, he comes first. I got to completelywards
Bogada a bogada.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Next time I go to New York, I'm someplace where.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
There's a boga doll, walk in and say, you got
a really nice bogada here, and they'll say, boy, where
are you from?
Speaker 5 (18:11):
Can you show me your panic button?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
That's right, show me your panic button. Let's take a journey.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Let's take a journey on the world that's kind of
been turned upside down, a world where the climate crusade,
that roaring fire, the climate crusade is just well kind
of now burning out, just you know, a few little
coals here and there. But yet Exxon Mobil, the oil giant,
is still chasing the ghost.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
Of climate change.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
So here it is twenty twenty five, and I'm thinking,
how do I make sense of a story that's kind
of bizarre and revealing at the same time. So remember
we were the world They say we hit peak oil
four years ago in twenty twenty one. Yeah, uh, I
(19:01):
put Gus in one of the cars day before yesterday.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Wait, wait, wait, you must be mistaken because I remember
as a kid watching like Sesame Street and three, two one,
Contact and those shows that peak oil was happening. Then
well that was.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Peak oil one.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I'm talking about peak oil three because we've been through
peak oil one, two and now three.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
Gotcha. Yeah, he just got trilogy, the trilogy.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Yeah, the trilogy exactly, the Peak oil trilogy. Peak climate
like a fab. It it was a fab. It was
come back again, but but it crested it and then
it crashed Uh, back then, the air was sick. You know,
we had all these promises net zero, EV's green everything.
So what was going on? Well, if you remember companies, governments,
(19:54):
even I don't know, even even Dragon was out to
try to save the planet.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
Excellent.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
Well, Exon, if you recall back then, was the villain,
the big bad oil company.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
It was digging in its heels resisting the green movement
ban als.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Fast forward to twenty twenty five. So interestingly, now the
world has moved on. We no longer talk about peak
climate or peak oil. As I've noticed over the past
eight six or seven shows, we've done stories about how
the whole climate change narrative is beginning to really change.
(20:37):
And I do believe the world's kind of moving on.
But Exon, Exon Mobile, who was once the big bad
evil person that was not going along with it, is
now out there waving the flag begging for new regulations
that nobody really wants anymore. Well, it all started back
I think in twenty twenty one, the climate movement. I
think that was probably the zenith. Boardrooms buzzing with environmental
(21:02):
social governance. Asset managers were like knights and shining armor,
vowing to punish anybody that didn't bow down to the
climate gods. Inside the Church of the Climate activists, automakers, Oh,
they were just floorboarding it toward EV's turning out EV's
like they were the only cars that ever mattered. There
(21:23):
was a story yesterday about Ford Motor Company that their
EV production almost cost them all of their profits. I
forget what their earnings were last year, but they were
like nothing. There was a story in the Wall Street
Journal yesterday about it. But let's not talk about just
attle makers. All the world's governments too, and they and
(21:46):
some still are. They're signing all those pledges, you know,
all the Parish Climate accords, all that crap net zero
by twenty fifty. Right here in Colorado carbon neutrality. It
was like a global pep rally. And if you weren't hearing,
you were the bad guy. You were absolutely being blasphemous.
In the Church of the Climate activists. Exxon Mobile stood out.
(22:11):
They were the worst of the worst oil rigs, gas pumps.
They were publish enemy number one, and they fought back. Yeah,
they actually fought back. Exxon mobil is not going to
let a bunch of activists tell them how to run
their business. But then came the proxy battle. There was
a proxy battle in twenty twenty one. It was a
(22:32):
shareholders showdown that shook Exxon, shook them badly. Investors were
fed up with the company's defiance. They forced in a
new board. That new board promised to play nice with
the Climate Group, with the Church of the Climate activists.
Exxon the resistor surrendered. They waved the white flag and
joined the Green Army. Now fast forward to today. The
(22:57):
world's a different place. Obviously, the climate crusade. It's it's
barely it's on you. I'm not even sure it's even
on a respirator anymore. Goaverants are backtracking as that managers,
they're loosening their grip. Companies are quietly slipping out of
their net zero promises. And it's because of reality. Turns out,
(23:17):
renewable energy well we have do is look at Spain
and Portugal. It's not the magic bullets of everybody hoped
it was going to be, or that we were promised
it was going to be. We know the wind turbans
don't spend when the wind's not blowing, and the solar
panels don't do much at night or on a day.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Like this.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
No wonder how your solar panels doing on a day
like today. I can't even see I can't even see
you across the street. It's so cloudy out. Germany is
burning coal again, the poster child for green energy policies.
You think about what China and India are doing. They're
building coal plants like it's well, like it's the eighteen
hundreds or something. I don't know, but the world is
(23:54):
waking up to the fact that energy security, energy affordability,
those matter just as much, if not more than emissions.
In fact, I would argue that they actually that matters
more than emissions do. Peak climates coming gone. Exon Mobile
still out there, Exon Mobile, still acting like it's twenty
twenty one. Listen to this. Exon CEO Darren Woods got
(24:22):
on an earnings call, and what does he say. He
tells everybody, all of the analysts on Wall Street they're listening,
that he's all in on these carbon regulations. He's actually
talking about taking advantage of government subsidies for hydrogen, for
carbon capture, for all the shiny toys that all the
people in the church of the climate activists want. He's
(24:44):
pushing for a quote true framework for carbon accounting. He
wants to track every puff of CEO two that I make.
And Exxon's put out a report lamenting that the world's
climate policies are falling short. They're they're proposing something called
(25:04):
product level carbon intensity standards Product level carbon intensity standards,
So those are basically rules for how much CO two
you're allowed to admit when you make a car or
a I don't know what a uh an air air
(25:25):
fryer regulator set the limits. Companies would have to scramble
to meet those limits. They'd have to swap out fossil
fuels for renewables, bio fuels for whatever is green enough
for all the activists, Exxon, Exxon is pitching this like
it's the future, Like the world's begging for more red tape,
like we want more controls, like we don't see through
(25:47):
all the falsehoods of all the alarm is, and that
we've been shut there's been shut down our throats for
the past decades, and the world's actually saying, no, no thanks,
we're good, We're you know what. Chris Chris Wright, Donald Trump,
Doug Burgham, they're all saying, you know what, we're gonna drill.
We're gonna drill. In fact, some of the earnings from
some of the oil companies that were out yesterday, reported
(26:10):
the Wall Street Journal is simply amazing. But why is
Exon doing this? Why is it that a company that
has spent decades fighting fighting climate regulations suddenly actually almost
appears to be out there leading the charge for climate regulations, opportunism,
(26:30):
dollar signs and government subsidies, you know, getting a handout
from taxpayers for carbon capture or hydrogen or you name it.
Other analyst states, just pure survival. After that twenty twenty
one proxy battle, Exon's board got a makeover, and the
(26:50):
new guard is all about looking progressive while trying to
spend another plate and keep the investors happy. So the
climate skeptic spent so long denying the problem that now
they're over compensating, maybe trying to outgreen everybody else, whatever
(27:10):
the reason, it really is a head scratcher because it
seems to me the world's moving on focusing on practical
energy solutions, the Golden age, if you will, Donald Trump,
where we're actually going to focus on nuclear, natural gas,
even coal in some places.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
An Exxon, the big bad.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Boogiey bear from you know, four or five years ago,
is now out there preaching Global CO two rules like
their God's gift to mankind.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
So Exon's pushing for a system. Were some global body, I.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
Don't know, United Nations on steroids that they would set
in mission rules for every product under the sun. What
a wonderful bureaucrasy. You talk about a new deep state,
whether it's a factory in Ohio, a textile plant in Bangladesh,
steel meals in China, all well, steel meals in China
(28:11):
probably won't answer it to it, all answering the same
carbon cops. It's it's logistical absurdity, and of course all
of us will pay for it higher prices for your jobs,
supply chains and chaos, and for what because of climate
models that sparked this frenzy to begin with, and the
climate models look shakier every single day. I've got a
(28:34):
story we're going to do today. I'll do it to
more about sea level rise, which turns out that the
models I know comes as a shaker to you.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
The models were wrong in global emissions.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
Yes they're still climbing, but as we pointed out, I
think it was last week, maybe it was over the weekend. Oh,
Noah's been lying about observed temperatures. There have been fewer
ninety five degree days than at any time in recent history.
(29:07):
That's based on observed temperatures. But you go to the
modeling and the model says, oh, we're gonna have more
ninety five degree days than we've ever had in the past.
So I think what Spain and Portugal tautas, I think
what Exon is showing us. I think what these the
(29:27):
new story out about climate, about sea level rise is
showing us that fossil fuels are still the backbone of
a dominant and reliable energy system. Exon knows that they're
an oil company. So are they acting like they're the
poster child for all the climate activists? The climate movements
(29:50):
left a lot of company stranded chasing these stupid policies
that sounded good. May people all feel good, but they
don't work in the real world. And I think in
examples what I just mentioned earlier about the automakers, they
bet they bet really big on the evs, built whole
factories for them, and then Ford's taking all these gigantic
ride offs. So we're past peak climate. I don't think
(30:12):
I don't think that's about I think that's a good thing.
It means we're finally getting real about energy balancing the
need for power, reliable, sustainable power. And by sustainable, I
don't mean green. I mean that it's always available. We're
not going to abandon in the environment. But Exon Exon
(30:32):
acts like, oh, we got to go back and you know,
readopt all these policies and oh, by the way, government
come and regulate us.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Good grief. Exon bite me.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
They know that they can handle the regulations, but it's
a way.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
For them to keep the competition out of the market.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
But I think it's going to backfire because if you
look at the earnings reports of the other oiling the
big of Big Oil, they're all doing great, and so
it may keep them out of the competition for the
green energy stuff. But I think the green energy stuff
is waning, and so I think they're they're screwing themselves.
(31:14):
As the point of the whole story, I just think
they're screwing themselves. They've capitulated to the act of as
shareholders and now they're going to pay the cost for it.
I don't have the journal up in front of me
right now, but the Journal article is either this morning
editionary yesterday where they listed the I started to do
the story about the earnings in conjunction with that, but
(31:35):
I just skip it. But man, it's obvious that. And
then Journal even points out that a lot of the
earnings are coming from enhanced fracking, expansion of shale oil
fracking and drilling, that the expansion of the new leases.
So all the other companies are taking advantage of that,
(31:58):
and we see what's happening overseas that oil and guess
is not gonna go away, whereas Excellent Mobile wants to
pursue all the green new deal crap.
Speaker 3 (32:06):
So I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I want to go through a couple of text messages,
good it over ninety two twenty four, Mike, why aren't
you talking? Why aren't you talking about the Department of
Justice looking into Colorado for Tina Peters conviction? One because
I don't care? Two because it's not ripe. The story's
not it's not cooked. So when they actually look into
(32:29):
it and they and they decide to or not to
do something, then I might be interested in it. Until
I don't care about that story, and that may piss
you off, but I don't care. Uh, then I get
dragging you like this one twelve forty seven Mike, Hey Dragon,
We have started to show our eight and four year
(32:50):
old boys old TV shows like that. Their favorite right
now is Square One. My husband watched those shows growing
up as well.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
Nice, I was a big fan of. You can't do
that on television. Good stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I can't tell you what I was a big fan of,
because then that would date mean you go they had
TV then, So I'll just keep my mouth shut. Let's
see now. I know that I have listeners that tune
in from the weekend show and listen to the weekday show,
and I very much appreciate it. But I have a
(33:25):
listener in the nine one six area code, which is
the Greater Sacramento area who writes at nine to eleven
this morning. Detergent bottles tied at least has a rim
on the inside that prevents splashback. They make excellent peeing
(33:47):
receptacles while you're laying down. Depending on how much piss
is in there, you can almost turn it horizontally without
any coming back out.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
I think I've ever been that lazy.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
But thanks well, I have nothing to add to that whatsoever.
