Speaker 1 (00:00):
So the JFK and Epstein files were a big nothing burger.
They call me Brennan thing I think will be nothing
to see here. I think what we really need answers
to Mike is definitively how many licks does it take
to get to the Tutsi rolls center of a Tutsi pop? Mike,
we need answers, We need the truth.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You can't handle the truth? Do they still make tooty rolls?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I think there was an actual experiment done by some
college kids that found the exact number it took to get.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
To he's talking about pops rolls the sucker. Yeah, yeah,
Well I don't know. Bring me one and all. We'll
sit here on aaron. Do it see a long?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It takes kind them out looks yeah, one, one, two,
radio call it yeah, four five?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You know, can I just.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Say please off that because it's a little obscene and
mostly disgusting.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Eleven twelve.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Now it's Dragon at iHeartMedia dot com in case you
would like, or just go online to the website. Michael says,
go here dot com and to contact me. You can
send an email to management and explain to management that
you are totally disgusted by by my producer. Did you
(01:35):
just burp, just burp doing that sucking sound.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I couldn't quick get it it. Oh you have. You've
probably heard the claim by now.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
It's pretty old that fossil fuels dolein gas industry gets subsidies.
In fact, the latest number going around is that fossil
fuels get seven trillion dollars a.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Year all over the world.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
In global subsidies. And that number gets repeated endlessly by
the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, all these climate
NGOs and democrats who are members of the Church of
the climate activists, who really do believe that fossil fuels
(02:31):
are not just dirty, but they're living on welfare. Yes,
there are a bunch of welfare queens the oil and
gas industry is. This comes from written by Simon Black
Ian Perry, August twenty fourth of last year. This is
a report from the IMF Fossil fuel subsidies surged to
(02:55):
records seven trillion dollars. Scaling back subsidies would reduce air pollution,
generate revenue, and make a major contribution to slowing climate change.
The first paragraph reads, Fossil fuel subsidies surged to a
record seven trillion dollars last year as governments supported consumers
(03:16):
and businesses during the global spike and energy prices caused
by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the economic recoveries from
the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I think that in.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Terms of the critical, unthinking people, the useful idiots, the
congregants in the church of the climate activists, most people
are who hate oil and gas, you know. Proud of
me digging into this on I think it was X.
(03:51):
I know by now you've I would play it except
Billy Bob Thornton drops too many f bombs. But in Landman,
which is a fantastic series, I think it's on ETHEX
the scene where he takes the Dallas liability lawyer out
into the oil fields and they see the wind turbines
(04:13):
and she says, what are those? And he lectures her
about the carbon footprint that it takes just for the
concrete to hold them up twelve feet into the ground.
That over the lifetime of those windmills, those turbines, they
(04:33):
will never offset the carbon footprint of manufacturing, installing, and
then tearing them down once they've lost their useful life,
including the amount of lubrication that it takes everything. It's
a wonderful scene in which he just eviscerates this airhead
lawyer from Dallas about fossil fuels. The whole idea of
(05:01):
subsidies which she talks about in.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That show is.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Probably one of the most effective talking points that it's
probably one of the you know like uh For example,
John three point sixteen is one of the most salient
verses of the Bible for Christians. Well, I would say
that fossil fuel, oil and gas subsidies is one of
(05:32):
the most strident verses in the Bible of the Church
of the climate activists, and it's also one of the
most dishonest. The seven trillion figure is not only wildly inflated,
it's actually manipulated so as to mislead the public to
obscure where your tax dollars are actually going, and then
(05:55):
used in an even worse way, and that is to
justify the unchecked siphoning of wealth into the green scam.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
The life is not just academic.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
It is the very foundation for the green energy slush funds,
the regulatory overreach, and the carbon taxes that get pushed
all around the globe. The EPA funneled twenty billion dollars
into newly formed nonprofits NGOs that had no infrastructure, They
(06:29):
had no scientific expertise, but you know what, they did
have a mission statement to seek climate justice, whatever the
hell that is. I would challenge you. I know I'll
get smart ass answers, but I would challenge you to
tell me what you honestly believe climate justice means. Not
(06:52):
to you, but to a useful idiot that believes in
climate change, or that believes in anthropaginity man made claim change.
Those groups were just that. That's the money laundering, all
dressed up as climate saviors. Massive taxpayer subsidies. Win giants
(07:15):
like Semens investors are bleeding billions of dollars from the taxpayers.
Their business models rely not on selling electricity, but rely
on government subsidies. The exact opposite the oil and gas industry.
Solar got over two hundred times more federal subsidies per
(07:37):
unit of electricity than oil and gas ever thought about
getting let that sink in. The green energy transition is
not about market efficiency, it's about market manipulation. So what
about the seven trillion dollar dollar figure? That's like an
inrun figure. Where's the number come from? Twenty twenty three,
(08:00):
the IMF published this blog. They claim the global fossil
fuel studies subsidies had reached an all time record of
seven trillion dollars, and so the media, like Seeing In
and other places, just took the headline and ran with it.
They never asked any questions. But the number is not
what it seems at all. Only a small fraction of
(08:20):
that figure, less than one fifth, is actual government spending.
So what's the rest, Well, that's where the con starts.
Is the sleight of hand. Let's walk through it. If
you want reality, look to the IEA or the EIA,
not the IMF. The International Energy Agency reports that actual
(08:45):
fossil fuel subsidies, the kind you can trace on a
budget ledger, amount to about between seven between five hundred
and seven hundred billion dollars a year, and almost all
of that is not occurring in this country, as you
are led to believe. It's actually occurring in the Third World,
in developing countries where energy affordability is actually a matter
(09:08):
of survival. And then there are countries like Venezuela, or
the Iranians or the Indonesians where governments hold down domestic
fuel prices because they want to avoid unrest.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
So two types.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
One where you actually governments, you know, where this country
unized taxpayers might fund something through the United Nations or
through the IMF or through the World Bank, where they
actually do try to subsidize the development of oiling gas
in developing third world countries so that they can become
self sufficient.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I really don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
But there's the other kind, and that's the Venezuelan kind,
the Iranian kind, the Indonesian kind, where these tyrannical governments
subsidize their own domestic production because they want to keep
fuel prices down so that the asses don't start rioting.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
In the West Canada, Europe, United.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
States, direct fossil fuel subsidies are tiny, they're very targeted,
and they're almost always ninety nine percent of the time
phased out. In fact, most so called subsidies in this
country are simply what standard tax deductions they get applied
(10:28):
to every industry. What am I talking about? Write offs,
free equipment appreciation, manufacturing costs, the expensing of capital improvements.
By contrast, which is something that you know, iHeart media.
If you want to use that kind of language, I mean,
you can make an argument that iHeart Media is subsidized
(10:50):
by the federal government because we take tax write offs
when we remodel the building, and you know, whatever we did,
not not the building management, but whatever we did internally
to I'm going to laugh when I say this, to
modernize a studio, To modernize a studio, that was a
(11:13):
capital expense that they could write off and appreciate. So
you could argue, if you want to use the same
language that the lefties use, then iHeart is a subsidized
company because we use standard tax deductions. However, if you
want to do a contrast with actual true subsidies, the
(11:39):
US federal government has handed out more than seventy billion
dollars in direct subsidies to renewables, and that's only through
the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, when you compare subsidies per
unit of electricity produced, solar got two hundred and five
times more than oil and did between the years twenty
(12:01):
ten and twenty nineteen. Federal subsidies per unit of electricity
generated between twenty ten twenty nineteen in US dollars megawatt
hours oiling gas thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Let's use cents just.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
To put it in regular dollars so oil and gas
got the equivalent of thirty nine cents per unit of electricity,
solar eighty two dollars and forty six cents, win eighteen
dollars and eighty six cents, geothermal nine dollars and eighteen cents,
nuclear one dollar, ninety three cents, coal seventy three cents,
(12:43):
hydro power fifty three cents, oil and gas thirty nine cents.
Those are real numbers, that's not theory, and they come
from the Congressional Budget Office, the Energy Information Administration reports.
So the fossil fuel industry, despite powering more than eighty
percent of the global econom gets less per unit of
energy delivered than any other sector that produces energy for
(13:08):
the global economy. So why would you inflate the number?
Because the seven trillion dollar claim by the IMF from
the World Bank. That's what gives climate bureaucrats and the
green activist lobbyists the cover they need, because if you
can convince the useful idiots and the public that fossil
fuels are rigging the system with trillions of dollars in subsidies,
(13:31):
then if you're handing over just another one hundred billion
dollars to a solar farm that stopped working at sundown. Well,
that feels like climate justice. You're leveling the playing field.
But that's not the reality. The reality is that it's
green energy that is solely dependent, in fact, I would
say wholly dependent on subsidies, not to compete, but to
(13:55):
simply exist. Because the moment the handouts stop, the industry collapses.
Offshore wind contracts, those are being canceled up and down
the Eastern Seaboard. Siemens corporations reading billions of dollars, the
battery storage industry, it's floundering. But what does the government do.
(14:17):
They keep the checks flowing. Well, Michael Michael, Michael Michael,
what what about the OBQUBE, the O, the one big
beautiful bill. Oh, it phases some of these out starting
next year, and then phases them out over a three
four five year period, which means that subsequent congresses, if
(14:40):
they wanted to, could reinstate them. There's there's a difference
between implicit and explicit subsidies. There's the real cost of wind, solar,
and evy infrastructure, and those real costs are not just
to your wallet, but also cost to grid reliability.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
In fact, in that.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Little segment where Billy Bob Thortons is explaining to the
netwith about when energy. He points out that if we
went all electric, like everybody's trying to convince us to,
it would take us at least thirty years, at least
thirty You.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Got what I've got. The I spent that whole last
segment cutting out all the f bombs.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh you can you play you real quickly?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It's about two minutes. I think we got we got
enough time.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Okay, go for it.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Here's the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Go for the people to blame of the people that
demand that we keep pumping it, because every time you
fill up, you buy anything, you do anything that involves
oil and gas, you put the demand on and they
keep pumping. I do disagree about running out.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I think we.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Will find alternatives before we run out. And Chris Wright
on this very program said, oh, we got hundreds of
you is left to go in terms of oil and gas?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Michael, gas station gizzards exist?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh no, no, no no, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
We kind of sluffed over that one, didn't we. We
kind of skimmed over that real quickly.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Figure it's something similar to like gas station sushi.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, I just mm.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
I although I've never I've never been in a quick
trip other than obviously at five o'clock in the morning
to get the diet coke. But they have what appears
to be an entire kitchen in the back, which you
can see. It's not it's not like it's hidden, so
since it's not entirely open, but you can see the
(16:51):
counter and I guess you can get fresh food and
they actually cook things there.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Like let's cat like a McDonald's or like a subway
in it or something.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, no, this is food they sell. Huh. I'm just
sandwiches and what not. You know, tomorrow morning.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
When I stop, I'll kind of walk around the store.
I usually just walk in, go straight to the fountain,
grab my diet coke, pay for it, and walk right
back out. But as I walk in, I can see
because they have in the center a fairly large kind
of i'd say a foot or two higher than everything else,
so the cashiers can work there, and then like the
(17:28):
cigarettes behind that, and then it's in a circle. But
behind that center part in the quick trip you can
see an opening that is obviously a kitchen. It's got
the whatever you would call it, the countertop where you
would like put food you've cooked, and so they must
(17:52):
fix fresh food there.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Whether they then package it and put it on a shelf,
I don't know, but they whatever it is they're cooking,
they're cooking stuff in that location.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Whether they have gizzards or not, I don't know. But
tomorrow I'm going to look find out whether we have
gizzards or not, kind of look around because any kind
of interesting. Since I switched over to quick Trump, I've
just nothing other than I know to walk in, make
the right turn, grab it, turn right around, flick my
card out.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Leave.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That's all I do. We'll find out. So for what
seventy two hours from now.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The news has just been consumed by the Attorney General's
revelation that the Epstein files were nothing burger, nothing to
see here, just move along. Donald Trump got mad in
the cabinet meeting and said that was old news. The
skepticism that's followed, I think is totally understandable, given that
(18:50):
Bondi's big reveal back in February, the Big Binders turned
into a clown show charade. Because the Department of Justice
is two hundred page Epstein document done, there was nothing
new in it.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
He was one of the two biggest unforced errors I
think by Trump's top administrative disruptors, the other being the
Defense Secretary's unfortunate signal chap snaffoo. Who knows, maybe one
of Joe Biden's otto pen puppeteers ordered the Epstein's blackmail
dossier destroyed because there were too many Democrats and Zegre videos.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Almost after six months, I think Pam Bondi still seems
not ready for prime time. I'm not saying she should
resign or anything. She hasn't gotten her sea legs yet.
But she was better than the previous nominee, Matt Getz,
who seemed like he had I shouldn't say that. I
was gonna say no. He seems like the type not
(19:54):
saying it. Just seems like the type that might fit
right in on Epstein's fantasy island. But I won't say
that because that would be it would be immature of it.
But there was some other news yesterday pertaining to another
dossier that really didn't give much mention, although it pertains
(20:15):
to probably the most egregious deep state assault on a
sitting president in the entire history of the country. You
may or may not recall that last week, the Director
of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, released the declassified report on
a comprehensive review that he ordered on the agency's analysis
(20:36):
or ordered of the agency's analysis of the twenty sixteen
Russia Russia Russia collusion hoax. According to Ratcliffe, CIA Director quote,
President Trump has trusted me with helping to end weaponization
of US intelligence. This report underscores that the twenty sixteen
(20:57):
Intelligence community assessment was conducted through an atypical and corrupt
process under the politically charged environments of former Director Brennan
and former FBI Director Comy. All the world can now
see the truth. Brennan, Clapper, and Comby manipulated intelligence and
(21:17):
silenced career professionals all to get Trump. Thank you to
the career CIA officers who conducted this review and exposed
the facts.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
If you go through the document on.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Page five of the report regarding this is the part
that regards the Steele dossier. That's what was used to
justify the foreign intelligence surveillance at court, the pies at
court warrants, and to justify the investigation into Trump. There's
this note. Despite these objections, Brennan showed a preference for
(21:56):
narrative consistency over analytical soundness. When confronted with specific flaws
in the dossier by the two Mission Center leaders, one
with extensive operational experience and the other with a strong
analytic background, he appeared Brennan did. Brennan appeared more swayed
(22:16):
by the dossier's general conformity with the existing theories than
by legitimate tradecraft concerns. Brennan ultimately formalized his position in
writing stating that quote, my bottom line is that I
believe that the information warrants inclusion in the report. You know,
(22:37):
that's the equivalent of you often hear on these crime shows.
Follow the evidence and where the evidence leads that will
lead us to the criminal, as opposed to getting your theory,
oh I think dragon did it, and then developing the
(22:57):
evidence and then being so convinced of the evidence because
it it's your theory that you believe the evidence is true.
That's exactly what John Brennan did. He refused to acknowledge
even though he was told, Hey, this thing is questionable,
Hey this thing it's origin. And on top of that,
remember Hillary Clinton paid for Steele dossier. Then the FBI
(23:22):
and the CIA leaked it to the media, and then
the CIA and the FBI claimed, oh, look, the media
is reporting it. It's true, jammany Christmas. So what does
this mean. It means that the then CIA Director John
Brennan just completely rejected the advice of career CIA officers
(23:45):
who were insisting did he not include the dossier in
the formal assessment because it was unfounded and tied to
Hillary Clinton's campaign against Donald Trump. That directly contradicts Brennan's
closed door testimony to Congress that he did not advocate
(24:06):
for the inclusion of the Steele dossier in the assessment,
and that opens the door to a perjury charge, and
that would be the first step in prosecuting Brennan. Here's
what he said in his testimony quote, I was not
involved in analyzing the dossier at all, and the CIA
(24:29):
was not involved at all with the dossier. You can
direct that to the FBI and to others. The documents
released by the current CIA director directly and incomplete opposite
counter what he claimed in the closed door session with
(24:52):
the Congress.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
And then when he says.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
You can direct that to the FBI and to others, well,
I guess would be that's exactly what the FBI director
Cash Mattel.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Will be doing right now.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
One former CIA case officer said, this, my former boss,
CIA director John Brennan should rot in prison right next
to James Combey. Now for a little background, the colluders
in this coup attempt were under the direction of Obama
(25:28):
and at the time Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, and
included a brazen cabal of operaties at the highest levels
of the most powerful government agencies. It included John Brennan,
former CIA director, James Comby, former FBI Director Andrew McCabe,
former FBI Deputy Director, Peter Stroke, former FBI Chief of
(25:49):
counter Espionage, Kevin Klinsmith, FBI lawyer Rod Rosenstein, former Deputy
Attorney General. Every single one of those colluded with then
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Shifty Shifty of California in
his efforts to try to impeach Trump. The fingerprints are
(26:10):
everywhere on this crime scene, Starting with the PISA setup
of General Flynn. Obama's former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency,
the Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grennell, declassified and released
the list of Obama operatives who had unmasked Flynn, including
Comy Brennan, Dennis ban Donahoe, the former Obama chief of staff,
(26:36):
and of course Joe Biden, who had previously said I
know nothing about these motives to investigate Michael Flynn. Adam Shift,
with the help of the cabal, spent every waking hour
of Trump's first two years in office pushing the fake
delusion of collusion, which was determined by Special Prosecutor Robert
(26:56):
Muehler to be totally fabricated. As it turns out, the
collusion live was funded by then Trump presidential opponent Hillary
Clinton at the time, Trump scorts Trump scorts the deep
state operatives who had entrapped Flynn in order to launch
that fabricated investigation, calling the Obama administration doj at complete disgrace.
(27:23):
The fact is Cony and Brennan should be indicted as
co conspirators based on what appears to be clear evidence
of their collusion, starting with the fake PAISA warrants that
were used to justify the wire tapes of Donald Trump,
all in an effort to take down a president that's
(27:46):
gotten buried in all of the coverage of the Epstein files.
I think it's time to push ahead full steam.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
I'm not sure what's up with all this dairy queen talk?
Sort of a befocal by local kind of guy. So
d Q stands for disqualified from my ice cream choices.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
So you're not even gonna tell us what.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Exactly I was seeing exactly the same thing. So DC's disqualified,
So tell us what is qualified?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Good grief?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
You should know, we fat guys need to know where
to go for good ice.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Pea exactly, Bradford Morris, Cameron Arnold, no idea who they are? Right, Well,
like a lot of leftists, they identify as members of
the opposite sex. They might do their time more pleasantly,
say in a women's prison. But guess what they fa
(28:46):
fo' And they got themselves arrested for setting up to
that ambush to kill the ICE agents down in Texas.
The incident occurred at the Prairie Land Detention Facility at
Alvarado last Friday at ten thirty seven pm. Ten to
twelve individuals dressed in black military style clothing bands shooting,
blah blah blah, and Alvarado police officer arrived the scene,
(29:08):
shot in the neck. He's gonna recover, Bradford Morris goes
by Megan, So please let us welcome Bradford aka Meghan
and his comrade Cameron Arnold to the Transsexual Violence Hall
of Horrors. Two of the identified leftists who attempted to
(29:33):
murder ice agents in Alvarado are, said Bradford Morris and
Cameron Arnold, men who are pretending to be women, who,
if convicted, will be sent to an all male prison
when convicted, have fun, enjoy your time. It's fascinating to
(29:54):
me why every time you turn around and you got
these lefties out there attacking ice agents that you're going
to find eight percent I don't know whether it's one
percent or a half a percent or ten percent whatever
it is that happen to be transsexuals. What is their
proclivity to violence? And why are they? I mean, I
understand why they might be involved in these activities because
(30:15):
they're leftists, But what is it about? In fact, I
need to think about this. We may to talk about
this tomorrow. What is it about leftists being crazy like this?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
But is it? Janetti? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I'll make a note rules be anyway, they want to
be women and so they're going to go to a
male prison probably
So the JFK and Epstein files were a big nothing burger.
They call me Brennan thing I think will be nothing
to see here. I think what we really need answers
to Mike is definitively how many licks does it take
to get to the Tutsi rolls center of a Tutsi pop? Mike,
we need answers, We need the truth.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
You can't handle the truth? Do they still make tooty rolls?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I think there was an actual experiment done by some
college kids that found the exact number it took to get.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
To he's talking about pops rolls the sucker. Yeah, yeah,
Well I don't know. Bring me one and all. We'll
sit here on aaron. Do it see a long?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
It takes kind them out looks yeah, one, one, two,
radio call it yeah, four five?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
You know, can I just.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Say please off that because it's a little obscene and
mostly disgusting.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Eleven twelve.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Now it's Dragon at iHeartMedia dot com in case you
would like, or just go online to the website. Michael says,
go here dot com and to contact me. You can
send an email to management and explain to management that
you are totally disgusted by by my producer. Did you
(01:35):
just burp, just burp doing that sucking sound.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I couldn't quick get it it. Oh you have. You've
probably heard the claim by now.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
It's pretty old that fossil fuels dolein gas industry gets subsidies.
In fact, the latest number going around is that fossil
fuels get seven trillion dollars a.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Year all over the world.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
In global subsidies. And that number gets repeated endlessly by
the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, all these climate
NGOs and democrats who are members of the Church of
the climate activists, who really do believe that fossil fuels
(02:31):
are not just dirty, but they're living on welfare. Yes,
there are a bunch of welfare queens the oil and
gas industry is. This comes from written by Simon Black
Ian Perry, August twenty fourth of last year. This is
a report from the IMF Fossil fuel subsidies surged to
(02:55):
records seven trillion dollars. Scaling back subsidies would reduce air pollution,
generate revenue, and make a major contribution to slowing climate change.
The first paragraph reads, Fossil fuel subsidies surged to a
record seven trillion dollars last year as governments supported consumers
(03:16):
and businesses during the global spike and energy prices caused
by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the economic recoveries from
the pandemic.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I think that in.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
Terms of the critical, unthinking people, the useful idiots, the
congregants in the church of the climate activists, most people
are who hate oil and gas, you know. Proud of
me digging into this on I think it was X.
(03:51):
I know by now you've I would play it except
Billy Bob Thornton drops too many f bombs. But in Landman,
which is a fantastic series, I think it's on ETHEX
the scene where he takes the Dallas liability lawyer out
into the oil fields and they see the wind turbines
(04:13):
and she says, what are those? And he lectures her
about the carbon footprint that it takes just for the
concrete to hold them up twelve feet into the ground.
That over the lifetime of those windmills, those turbines, they
(04:33):
will never offset the carbon footprint of manufacturing, installing, and
then tearing them down once they've lost their useful life,
including the amount of lubrication that it takes everything. It's
a wonderful scene in which he just eviscerates this airhead
lawyer from Dallas about fossil fuels. The whole idea of
(05:01):
subsidies which she talks about in.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
That show is.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Probably one of the most effective talking points that it's
probably one of the you know like uh For example,
John three point sixteen is one of the most salient
verses of the Bible for Christians. Well, I would say
that fossil fuel, oil and gas subsidies is one of
(05:32):
the most strident verses in the Bible of the Church
of the climate activists, and it's also one of the
most dishonest. The seven trillion figure is not only wildly inflated,
it's actually manipulated so as to mislead the public to
obscure where your tax dollars are actually going, and then
(05:55):
used in an even worse way, and that is to
justify the unchecked siphoning of wealth into the green scam.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
The life is not just academic.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
It is the very foundation for the green energy slush funds,
the regulatory overreach, and the carbon taxes that get pushed
all around the globe. The EPA funneled twenty billion dollars
into newly formed nonprofits NGOs that had no infrastructure, They
(06:29):
had no scientific expertise, but you know what, they did
have a mission statement to seek climate justice, whatever the
hell that is. I would challenge you. I know I'll
get smart ass answers, but I would challenge you to
tell me what you honestly believe climate justice means. Not
(06:52):
to you, but to a useful idiot that believes in
climate change, or that believes in anthropaginity man made claim change.
Those groups were just that. That's the money laundering, all
dressed up as climate saviors. Massive taxpayer subsidies. Win giants
(07:15):
like Semens investors are bleeding billions of dollars from the taxpayers.
Their business models rely not on selling electricity, but rely
on government subsidies. The exact opposite the oil and gas industry.
Solar got over two hundred times more federal subsidies per
(07:37):
unit of electricity than oil and gas ever thought about
getting let that sink in. The green energy transition is
not about market efficiency, it's about market manipulation. So what
about the seven trillion dollar dollar figure? That's like an
inrun figure. Where's the number come from? Twenty twenty three,
(08:00):
the IMF published this blog. They claim the global fossil
fuel studies subsidies had reached an all time record of
seven trillion dollars, and so the media, like Seeing In
and other places, just took the headline and ran with it.
They never asked any questions. But the number is not
what it seems at all. Only a small fraction of
(08:20):
that figure, less than one fifth, is actual government spending.
So what's the rest, Well, that's where the con starts.
Is the sleight of hand. Let's walk through it. If
you want reality, look to the IEA or the EIA,
not the IMF. The International Energy Agency reports that actual
(08:45):
fossil fuel subsidies, the kind you can trace on a
budget ledger, amount to about between seven between five hundred
and seven hundred billion dollars a year, and almost all
of that is not occurring in this country, as you
are led to believe. It's actually occurring in the Third World,
in developing countries where energy affordability is actually a matter
(09:08):
of survival. And then there are countries like Venezuela, or
the Iranians or the Indonesians where governments hold down domestic
fuel prices because they want to avoid unrest.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
So two types.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
One where you actually governments, you know, where this country
unized taxpayers might fund something through the United Nations or
through the IMF or through the World Bank, where they
actually do try to subsidize the development of oiling gas
in developing third world countries so that they can become
self sufficient.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I really don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
But there's the other kind, and that's the Venezuelan kind,
the Iranian kind, the Indonesian kind, where these tyrannical governments
subsidize their own domestic production because they want to keep
fuel prices down so that the asses don't start rioting.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
In the West Canada, Europe, United.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
States, direct fossil fuel subsidies are tiny, they're very targeted,
and they're almost always ninety nine percent of the time
phased out. In fact, most so called subsidies in this
country are simply what standard tax deductions they get applied
(10:28):
to every industry. What am I talking about? Write offs,
free equipment appreciation, manufacturing costs, the expensing of capital improvements.
By contrast, which is something that you know, iHeart media.
If you want to use that kind of language, I mean,
you can make an argument that iHeart Media is subsidized
(10:50):
by the federal government because we take tax write offs
when we remodel the building, and you know, whatever we did,
not not the building management, but whatever we did internally
to I'm going to laugh when I say this, to
modernize a studio, To modernize a studio, that was a
(11:13):
capital expense that they could write off and appreciate. So
you could argue, if you want to use the same
language that the lefties use, then iHeart is a subsidized
company because we use standard tax deductions. However, if you
want to do a contrast with actual true subsidies, the
(11:39):
US federal government has handed out more than seventy billion
dollars in direct subsidies to renewables, and that's only through
the Inflation Reduction Act. Now, when you compare subsidies per
unit of electricity produced, solar got two hundred and five
times more than oil and did between the years twenty
(12:01):
ten and twenty nineteen. Federal subsidies per unit of electricity
generated between twenty ten twenty nineteen in US dollars megawatt
hours oiling gas thirty nine.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Let's use cents just.
Speaker 4 (12:21):
To put it in regular dollars so oil and gas
got the equivalent of thirty nine cents per unit of electricity,
solar eighty two dollars and forty six cents, win eighteen
dollars and eighty six cents, geothermal nine dollars and eighteen cents,
nuclear one dollar, ninety three cents, coal seventy three cents,
(12:43):
hydro power fifty three cents, oil and gas thirty nine cents.
Those are real numbers, that's not theory, and they come
from the Congressional Budget Office, the Energy Information Administration reports.
So the fossil fuel industry, despite powering more than eighty
percent of the global econom gets less per unit of
energy delivered than any other sector that produces energy for
(13:08):
the global economy. So why would you inflate the number?
Because the seven trillion dollar claim by the IMF from
the World Bank. That's what gives climate bureaucrats and the
green activist lobbyists the cover they need, because if you
can convince the useful idiots and the public that fossil
fuels are rigging the system with trillions of dollars in subsidies,
(13:31):
then if you're handing over just another one hundred billion
dollars to a solar farm that stopped working at sundown. Well,
that feels like climate justice. You're leveling the playing field.
But that's not the reality. The reality is that it's
green energy that is solely dependent, in fact, I would
say wholly dependent on subsidies, not to compete, but to
(13:55):
simply exist. Because the moment the handouts stop, the industry collapses.
Offshore wind contracts, those are being canceled up and down
the Eastern Seaboard. Siemens corporations reading billions of dollars, the
battery storage industry, it's floundering. But what does the government do.
(14:17):
They keep the checks flowing. Well, Michael Michael, Michael Michael,
what what about the OBQUBE, the O, the one big
beautiful bill. Oh, it phases some of these out starting
next year, and then phases them out over a three
four five year period, which means that subsequent congresses, if
(14:40):
they wanted to, could reinstate them. There's there's a difference
between implicit and explicit subsidies. There's the real cost of wind, solar,
and evy infrastructure, and those real costs are not just
to your wallet, but also cost to grid reliability.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
In fact, in that.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
Little segment where Billy Bob Thortons is explaining to the
netwith about when energy. He points out that if we
went all electric, like everybody's trying to convince us to,
it would take us at least thirty years, at least
thirty You.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Got what I've got. The I spent that whole last
segment cutting out all the f bombs.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh you can you play you real quickly?
Speaker 3 (15:32):
It's about two minutes. I think we got we got
enough time.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Okay, go for it.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Here's the whole thing.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Go for the people to blame of the people that
demand that we keep pumping it, because every time you
fill up, you buy anything, you do anything that involves
oil and gas, you put the demand on and they
keep pumping. I do disagree about running out.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I think we.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Will find alternatives before we run out. And Chris Wright
on this very program said, oh, we got hundreds of
you is left to go in terms of oil and gas?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Michael, gas station gizzards exist?
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh no, no, no no, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
We kind of sluffed over that one, didn't we. We
kind of skimmed over that real quickly.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Figure it's something similar to like gas station sushi.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
Yeah, I just mm.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
I although I've never I've never been in a quick
trip other than obviously at five o'clock in the morning
to get the diet coke. But they have what appears
to be an entire kitchen in the back, which you
can see. It's not it's not like it's hidden, so
since it's not entirely open, but you can see the
(16:51):
counter and I guess you can get fresh food and
they actually cook things there.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Like let's cat like a McDonald's or like a subway
in it or something.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
No, no, this is food they sell. Huh. I'm just
sandwiches and what not. You know, tomorrow morning.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
When I stop, I'll kind of walk around the store.
I usually just walk in, go straight to the fountain,
grab my diet coke, pay for it, and walk right
back out. But as I walk in, I can see
because they have in the center a fairly large kind
of i'd say a foot or two higher than everything else,
so the cashiers can work there, and then like the
(17:28):
cigarettes behind that, and then it's in a circle. But
behind that center part in the quick trip you can
see an opening that is obviously a kitchen. It's got
the whatever you would call it, the countertop where you
would like put food you've cooked, and so they must
(17:52):
fix fresh food there.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Whether they then package it and put it on a shelf,
I don't know, but they whatever it is they're cooking,
they're cooking stuff in that location.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Whether they have gizzards or not, I don't know. But
tomorrow I'm going to look find out whether we have
gizzards or not, kind of look around because any kind
of interesting. Since I switched over to quick Trump, I've
just nothing other than I know to walk in, make
the right turn, grab it, turn right around, flick my
card out.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Leave.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
That's all I do. We'll find out. So for what
seventy two hours from now.
Speaker 4 (18:27):
The news has just been consumed by the Attorney General's
revelation that the Epstein files were nothing burger, nothing to
see here, just move along. Donald Trump got mad in
the cabinet meeting and said that was old news. The
skepticism that's followed, I think is totally understandable, given that
(18:50):
Bondi's big reveal back in February, the Big Binders turned
into a clown show charade. Because the Department of Justice
is two hundred page Epstein document done, there was nothing
new in it.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Whatsoever.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
He was one of the two biggest unforced errors I
think by Trump's top administrative disruptors, the other being the
Defense Secretary's unfortunate signal chap snaffoo. Who knows, maybe one
of Joe Biden's otto pen puppeteers ordered the Epstein's blackmail
dossier destroyed because there were too many Democrats and Zegre videos.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
For sure.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Almost after six months, I think Pam Bondi still seems
not ready for prime time. I'm not saying she should
resign or anything. She hasn't gotten her sea legs yet.
But she was better than the previous nominee, Matt Getz,
who seemed like he had I shouldn't say that. I
was gonna say no. He seems like the type not
(19:54):
saying it. Just seems like the type that might fit
right in on Epstein's fantasy island. But I won't say
that because that would be it would be immature of it.
But there was some other news yesterday pertaining to another
dossier that really didn't give much mention, although it pertains
(20:15):
to probably the most egregious deep state assault on a
sitting president in the entire history of the country. You
may or may not recall that last week, the Director
of the CIA, John Ratcliffe, released the declassified report on
a comprehensive review that he ordered on the agency's analysis
(20:36):
or ordered of the agency's analysis of the twenty sixteen
Russia Russia Russia collusion hoax. According to Ratcliffe, CIA Director quote,
President Trump has trusted me with helping to end weaponization
of US intelligence. This report underscores that the twenty sixteen
(20:57):
Intelligence community assessment was conducted through an atypical and corrupt
process under the politically charged environments of former Director Brennan
and former FBI Director Comy. All the world can now
see the truth. Brennan, Clapper, and Comby manipulated intelligence and
(21:17):
silenced career professionals all to get Trump. Thank you to
the career CIA officers who conducted this review and exposed
the facts.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
If you go through the document on.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
Page five of the report regarding this is the part
that regards the Steele dossier. That's what was used to
justify the foreign intelligence surveillance at court, the pies at
court warrants, and to justify the investigation into Trump. There's
this note. Despite these objections, Brennan showed a preference for
(21:56):
narrative consistency over analytical soundness. When confronted with specific flaws
in the dossier by the two Mission Center leaders, one
with extensive operational experience and the other with a strong
analytic background, he appeared Brennan did. Brennan appeared more swayed
(22:16):
by the dossier's general conformity with the existing theories than
by legitimate tradecraft concerns. Brennan ultimately formalized his position in
writing stating that quote, my bottom line is that I
believe that the information warrants inclusion in the report. You know,
(22:37):
that's the equivalent of you often hear on these crime shows.
Follow the evidence and where the evidence leads that will
lead us to the criminal, as opposed to getting your theory,
oh I think dragon did it, and then developing the
(22:57):
evidence and then being so convinced of the evidence because
it it's your theory that you believe the evidence is true.
That's exactly what John Brennan did. He refused to acknowledge
even though he was told, Hey, this thing is questionable,
Hey this thing it's origin. And on top of that,
remember Hillary Clinton paid for Steele dossier. Then the FBI
(23:22):
and the CIA leaked it to the media, and then
the CIA and the FBI claimed, oh, look, the media
is reporting it. It's true, jammany Christmas. So what does
this mean. It means that the then CIA Director John
Brennan just completely rejected the advice of career CIA officers
(23:45):
who were insisting did he not include the dossier in
the formal assessment because it was unfounded and tied to
Hillary Clinton's campaign against Donald Trump. That directly contradicts Brennan's
closed door testimony to Congress that he did not advocate
(24:06):
for the inclusion of the Steele dossier in the assessment,
and that opens the door to a perjury charge, and
that would be the first step in prosecuting Brennan. Here's
what he said in his testimony quote, I was not
involved in analyzing the dossier at all, and the CIA
(24:29):
was not involved at all with the dossier. You can
direct that to the FBI and to others. The documents
released by the current CIA director directly and incomplete opposite
counter what he claimed in the closed door session with
(24:52):
the Congress.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
And then when he says.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
You can direct that to the FBI and to others, well,
I guess would be that's exactly what the FBI director
Cash Mattel.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Will be doing right now.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
One former CIA case officer said, this, my former boss,
CIA director John Brennan should rot in prison right next
to James Combey. Now for a little background, the colluders
in this coup attempt were under the direction of Obama
(25:28):
and at the time Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, and
included a brazen cabal of operaties at the highest levels
of the most powerful government agencies. It included John Brennan,
former CIA director, James Comby, former FBI Director Andrew McCabe,
former FBI Deputy Director, Peter Stroke, former FBI Chief of
(25:49):
counter Espionage, Kevin Klinsmith, FBI lawyer Rod Rosenstein, former Deputy
Attorney General. Every single one of those colluded with then
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Shifty Shifty of California in
his efforts to try to impeach Trump. The fingerprints are
(26:10):
everywhere on this crime scene, Starting with the PISA setup
of General Flynn. Obama's former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency,
the Director of National Intelligence, Richard Grennell, declassified and released
the list of Obama operatives who had unmasked Flynn, including
Comy Brennan, Dennis ban Donahoe, the former Obama chief of staff,
(26:36):
and of course Joe Biden, who had previously said I
know nothing about these motives to investigate Michael Flynn. Adam Shift,
with the help of the cabal, spent every waking hour
of Trump's first two years in office pushing the fake
delusion of collusion, which was determined by Special Prosecutor Robert
(26:56):
Muehler to be totally fabricated. As it turns out, the
collusion live was funded by then Trump presidential opponent Hillary
Clinton at the time, Trump scorts Trump scorts the deep
state operatives who had entrapped Flynn in order to launch
that fabricated investigation, calling the Obama administration doj at complete disgrace.
(27:23):
The fact is Cony and Brennan should be indicted as
co conspirators based on what appears to be clear evidence
of their collusion, starting with the fake PAISA warrants that
were used to justify the wire tapes of Donald Trump,
all in an effort to take down a president that's
(27:46):
gotten buried in all of the coverage of the Epstein files.
I think it's time to push ahead full steam.
Speaker 5 (27:56):
I'm not sure what's up with all this dairy queen talk?
Sort of a befocal by local kind of guy. So
d Q stands for disqualified from my ice cream choices.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
So you're not even gonna tell us what.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
Exactly I was seeing exactly the same thing. So DC's disqualified,
So tell us what is qualified?
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Good grief?
Speaker 3 (28:19):
You should know, we fat guys need to know where
to go for good ice.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Pea exactly, Bradford Morris, Cameron Arnold, no idea who they are? Right, Well,
like a lot of leftists, they identify as members of
the opposite sex. They might do their time more pleasantly,
say in a women's prison. But guess what they fa
(28:46):
fo' And they got themselves arrested for setting up to
that ambush to kill the ICE agents down in Texas.
The incident occurred at the Prairie Land Detention Facility at
Alvarado last Friday at ten thirty seven pm. Ten to
twelve individuals dressed in black military style clothing bands shooting,
blah blah blah, and Alvarado police officer arrived the scene,
(29:08):
shot in the neck. He's gonna recover, Bradford Morris goes
by Megan, So please let us welcome Bradford aka Meghan
and his comrade Cameron Arnold to the Transsexual Violence Hall
of Horrors. Two of the identified leftists who attempted to
(29:33):
murder ice agents in Alvarado are, said Bradford Morris and
Cameron Arnold, men who are pretending to be women, who,
if convicted, will be sent to an all male prison
when convicted, have fun, enjoy your time. It's fascinating to
(29:54):
me why every time you turn around and you got
these lefties out there attacking ice agents that you're going
to find eight percent I don't know whether it's one
percent or a half a percent or ten percent whatever
it is that happen to be transsexuals. What is their
proclivity to violence? And why are they? I mean, I
understand why they might be involved in these activities because
(30:15):
they're leftists, But what is it about? In fact, I
need to think about this. We may to talk about
this tomorrow. What is it about leftists being crazy like this?
Speaker 2 (30:27):
But is it? Janetti? What's going on?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
I'll make a note rules be anyway, they want to
be women and so they're going to go to a
male prison probably
