Speaker 1 (00:00):
At the top of the hour, News Congressman Massey on Syria,
his opposition to Trump's choice for the eahead, and comments
on the Doge Department with Elon Musk and Dvik Grandma Swammy.
One hour from now Judge Ednapolitana. Every Wednesday, will Trump
stop domestic spying? In the meantime, I always welcome back
Brigham McCollum with the Hudson Institute, which you can find
(00:20):
online at Hudson dot org. Brigham ccowen to talk about
Trump's energy policies. Welcome back, Brigham. You know I love
having you on the show. It's good to have you
back on today.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well, Brian, thank you so much. It's always an honor
and a pleasure. And I'm reporting to you live from
our nation's capital this morning.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Oh you're in the swamp. Huh.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Well, you know we're gonna make it shiny again. We're
gonna clean things up.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I think, I hope so, and I honestly, I have
to be honest with you. When I saw the topic today,
Trump's energy policies. My only reaction because I honestly, and
as much as I read, as much news as I
go through, I haven't really personally seen a whole lot
about it, except that he is what has been described
as or for what I've generally read as everything approaches,
(01:10):
like all the everything, you know, we'll go with it
all whatever you want, everything open, let's use that gas,
oil and coal, and if you want a windmill, do
that all the above kind of strategy in order to
bring down our energy bills and create a more efficient
energy system here.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Absolutely, that is one of the key pillars. And I
think you know this notion of energy dominance or energy independence,
which we've talked about, is more critical than ever. You know,
we've talked on the program previously about watching mistakes that
other countries have made, so your inflicted.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Wounds the European Union collectively Germany most notably.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Yes, absolutely, and you know this is part of President
Trump has several pillars. And if I may real quickly, yeah,
and I'll explain how he fits into this. First is
this return to peace through strength by re establishing deterrence,
renewing America's industrial base, which requires a lot of energy,
and protecting the US against espionage and different ask actions
(02:13):
like that. I'll skip over secure our borders. That's pretty
self explanatory. But on our economy. You know, that's really
where energy comes in, because you know, it is a
huge component of what makes a country, any country competitive
or not competitive when you're trying to build and sell things.
(02:36):
And I think that's something a lot of the world
has forgotten. And we've seeded this to China and to
some extent some other places of people that don't like
us very much. It's very odd, don't you agree?
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I agree one hundred percent. And that's what I always
go back to. I mean, I know, I think I'm
one of the few heretics that are left in the
world that doesn't believe that you and I are exhiling
ourselves into existence. I don't believe committing you know, economic
suicide by trying to rely on the sun to power
literally everything. I'm smarter than that. But I watch as
(03:07):
other countries benefiting unbelievably in terms of their building of
their economy. The Chinese. Chinese are a perfect example. They
push this global warming stuff on the rest of the
world through all of their connectivity with social media and
influencing and all that, and yet they do not lift
a finger. They are not interested in committing economic suicide.
(03:28):
They burn coal they still build coal plants, they do
anything they damn well please, while they manufacture all of
the green stuff that we think we need to rely
on completely. It's just absolute insanity, Brigham.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Amen, Amen, it is in fact. And you know, if
you look just a couple miles away from me, down
down Pennsylvania Avenue at the White House, you know, for
the last four years you've heard this administration, the Biden
Harris administration, talk about, well, we compete with China over here,
but in climate they agree with us on climate. We
(04:06):
are cooperating. Now, Brian, it's unilateral economic disarmament. They want
us to believe all this nonsense because they want us
to destroy what's left of our industrial base, to destroy
what's left of American and American strength energy. I mean,
(04:27):
a lot of countries don't have the natural resources that
we have. Japan has to import almost all of its
raw materials and energy. But American we're blessed with this.
Why on earth would we take one of our biggest
markers off the table.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
That is a legitimate question, And the only thing that
I've been able to conclude over the years, Brigan, is
that there are you know, these the globalist mentality forces
out there. Those that wish to control us, generally speaking,
see us as the outlier. We're the big wart, We're
(05:04):
the ones that stick out. And why do we stick out?
Because freedom, independence, capitalism, and an abundance of energy has
built an economy that nobody in the world can compete with.
And because of that, they want to take all our
money and redistribute it. They want to kneecappus. They want
us to commit this suicide in the name of global
(05:25):
climate change or something, so we flatten out our economy
so the rest of the world can. Well, we can
join the rest of the world and be equally poor.
I mean it sounds conspiratorial, but that's the only conclusion
that can be left with Brigham.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Well, I think you're onto something because another part of
President Trump's pillars and re establishing our economy, He's not
opposed to trade. People are freaking out all over the
place right now, right this is his opening move. This
is fantastic. He's not opposed to trade. He wants fair trade,
not free trade. And a lot of the trade deals
(06:01):
we've made the Parish climate change, this all goes in
the same bucket of giving away our stuff to other people,
and you cannot save, cut, conserve your way to prosperity.
That's not how it works. And I think he gets well,
I know he gets that, and his new administration gets that,
(06:21):
and hence the make America great again.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
All right, let's pause. Well, bring Brigan mccomonb back. We
got lots more to talk about from the Hudson Institute.
Hudson dot org is where you find them online, and
I recommend you check out what they have to say.
It's seven thirty seven fifty five KRECD talk station. And
I want to mention the USA intilation speaking of energy
and energy is expensive. It gets more expensive. Why Well,
maybe for some of the reasons that Brigham and I
(06:44):
are counting on. But regardless of the reasons your bills
are going up, I don't see any end insight to that.
And even if they didn't go up, let's just say
theoretically they went down, they can go down a lot
further if you have your home properly insulated with USA's
premium film highest OAR value home on the market made
right here in Ohio. Thousands and thousands of homes are
(07:05):
enjoying the comfort and energy savings from the USA over
the years and years can be one of them. Two,
get a free inspection. The inspection will determine whether you
have any insulation in your walls and also whether you
are under insulated. Again, my daughter, my favorite example, late seventies,
build old R twelve that was when it was installed,
and it doesn't even have R twelve anymore. So we
(07:25):
got the phone for them for a housewarming gift and
now they are enjoying the comfort and savings brought about
by the phone in the exterior walls. You can do
the same thing. Get a free quote, and remember right now,
you may save more than the cost the monthly payment
for the phone, because it's only ninety nine dollars a
month interest free, and there's a lot of folks out
there that have saved more than that, so call it
(07:46):
a wash. Or even if you don't reach the ninety
nine dollars month interest free amount, you're saving some It
ultimately pays for itself. Government wants you to do it
as well. They're offering you a twelve hundred dollars energy
tax credit, which is like them writing you a check
for twelve dollars. You can do that on your taxes
next year, and you're going to enjoy immediate comfort. Change

with the wreckings found on one twenty nine before Cincinnati
Dayton Road traffic backs to seven forty seven. There's a
multiple car wreck on the ramp from sixth Street to
(08:56):
southbound seventy five northbounds, running an extra half hour between
Florence and downtown. Chuck Ingramont fifty five per se the
talk station.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Fifty five ker City Talks. In talk station Ryan Thomas
was bringing acown from the Hudson Institute Online Hudson dot
or talking energy policy and Brigham you mentioned and moving
just slightly away from and I know it's all interconnected,
but going back to your statement about fair trade and
the concept of fair trade, I know that's where these
tariffs come in because it is literally impossible to have
(09:29):
fair trade with a country like China. They don't have OSHA,
they don't have a regulatory scheme, they don't have an
environmental protection agency, they don't give a crap about anything
at all. They also have slave labor. So how is
it you could ever achieve quote unquote fair trade with
a country that has such a substantial advantage in terms
of manufacturing at a discount compared to what our companies
(09:52):
here have to deal with under our regulatory environment. Hut Brigham.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's a great point, and it's
actually very difficult. And you may remember back some years
ago when we let China into d G seven and
into the World Trade Organization. The wto the thought was, gosh,
if we traded, we'd all become friends. You guys wouldn't
(10:20):
be communists any longer. You would support freedom. We'll all
get along.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
One of President Trump's current advisors, Robert Leiitthheiser, who was
the US Trade rep said that is a mistake. And
everybody said, oh, you don't know what you're talking about. Well,
he was right. It is difficult because every single company
in China is owned by the Communist Party of China. Yeah,
(10:47):
there is no free market. And Brian and I know
you know this, some of your listeners may not. They
all have to swear allegiance to the state and that
they will do everything possible to put the state first,
including espion, spying, stealing of intellectual property, all of that.
And unless and until America can restore deterrence, military deterrence
(11:12):
with Taiwan, economic deterrence, energy deterrence, that's how you get
these people to understand you. You don't deal with a
playground bully by ignoring them, right, you have to stand
up to them. And that's if we have not been
doing that. And fast fact, China now emits more carbon.
(11:35):
If you're keeping track of carbon and greenhouse gases, then
the rest of the industrial world combined. We can all
hold our breaths and it wouldn't make a darn bit
of difference, even if you felt it would.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Well, again, another illustration of the stupidity of trying to
control the emissions, at least in terms of naturally occurring
emissions like carbon dioxide. I mean, you can keep you know,
benzene out of the air. You can take lead out
of gasoline and keep that from out of the air
and still have an efficient internal combustion engine. So there
(12:09):
are technological advances we can make to keep toxic chemicals out.
But carbon dioxide isn't toxic. It's planted food. And yeah,
and I going back to your point on the economic
realities of China. They didn't play along. I think that
was Nixon's idea of opening up free trade with China. Well,
if we just trade with them, they're enemies of the
Soviet Union. But looking at the Soviet Union and our
(12:31):
policies toward them and all the other Western nations, nobody
traded with them. They were isolated, and they fell apart
and collapsed economically for a multitude of reasons, but most
notably because we wouldn't engage in commerce and industry with them.
We choked them off. And if the rest of the
world decided to choke off the Chinese and they wouldn't
(12:51):
be able to build their military industrial complex.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You're exactly right. And I think you'll also see, speaking
of speaking of sanctions, a return to maximum pressure on Iran,
because the last four years have not been good. We've
given them billions of dollars and they have sowed hate
and discontent all throughout the Middle East. But real quickly,
we talk about a lot of these energy pieces. Just
(13:18):
uploaded a new version of Charged Conversation speaking of Higheart
Radio where you can find it there or any other
place you find your podcast, where we talk about some
of the background and some of the political philosophy that
has gotten into this this climate debate, and it's really
not about climate debate, as you've pointed out, it's anti
(13:39):
capitalism and a lot of people are starting to wake
up and realize they've been lied to so point in
fact that you just mentioned in our atmosphere, seventy eight
percent of our atmosphere is nitrogen, about twenty one percent
is oxygen, one percent's argone gas. That's the stuff that
goes in neon lights. It's also harmless all that it
(14:00):
is an oxygen displacement that machines. When we get down
to it, we have for one hundreds of one percent
of our atmosphere is carbon.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Dioxide, plant food, plant.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Food less than four to one hundreds of one percent,
and as best as we can tell, humans are responsible
for sixteen I'm reading this right, how many decimal places
is for tens hundreds thousand, ten thousands, sixteen to ten
thousandths of one percent.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, it's not a thing. It's nothing. It's absolutely nothing.
And you know what, really really, and I'm going to
use the words pisses me off, recognizing that some people's
sensitivities may be bothered by that, but at that level
that I'm uttering it out loud. I was reading about
the so called Inflation Reduction Act, which was really the
(14:59):
Green New Deal project, and all of the programs and
incentives and millions and billions of dollars that are going
to various states for the purposes of carbon capture, and
to see Republican Administration officials in those dollar receiving states
fight to keep things like carbon capture just because it
(15:20):
benefits their bottom line. There reveals the reality and the
nefarious nature of all of this. It's really just a
it's wealth redistribution by another name, and it flows into
the coffers of administrations, regardless of political stripes. And once
they get hooked on the opium that that is, they
won't let it go to our detriment.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, we are. The government is creating a false economy
that is not based on products or services that people
want to purchase, and that can only be sustained so
long as you have these tax breaks or tax credits
or other pieces. And I think getting back to President
(16:03):
Trump on his all the above strategy, which is actually
something both parties used to embrace. Yep, you want to
buy an EV, great, buy a EV, but I'm not
going to make you buy one. You want solar panels
on your roof, perfect, you know, you want nuclear fantastic.
We're gonna need it all, and we're going to need
it where it makes the most amount of sense. And
(16:25):
the things that are economically viable are going to survive.
Your Elon Musk knows about. You build stuff that people want.
You can have the greatest idea in the world, but
nobody's going to pay you for it. Only the government
creates an industry that doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Right exactly, now, where do you think DEI came from?
Which college education folks came out with degrees and something
where there was no market for them. So well, we're
going to make everybody have a DEI department in their company,
in their in their in their college, and their business,
and we'll employ all these people who otherwise have valueless degrees.
Bring him agown. Hudson dot Org is where you find
(17:03):
the Hudson Institute Charged Conversation. Search for it. It's brilliant.
You'll love listening to it. Find it on your iHeartMedia app.
Bring them until we get to talk again. If we
don't talk before Christmas, So if you have wonderful holidays
and merry Christmas and of course a happy New Year.
But I will welcome the opportunity to have you back
on the program before the end of the year. But
that doesn't happen, of course. Best of health and to
(17:24):

they don't have a regulatory scheme, they don't have an
environmental protection agency, they don't give a crap about anything
at all. They also have slave labor. So how is
it you could ever achieve quote unquote fair trade with
a country that has such a substantial advantage in terms
of manufacturing at a discount compared to what our companies
(09:52):
here have to deal with under our regulatory environment. Hut Brigham.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, yeah, that's that's that's a great point, and it's
actually very difficult. And you may remember back some years
ago when we let China into d G seven and
into the World Trade Organization. The wto the thought was, gosh,
if we traded, we'd all become friends. You guys wouldn't
(10:20):
be communists any longer. You would support freedom. We'll all
get along.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Well.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
One of President Trump's current advisors, Robert Leiitthheiser, who was
the US Trade rep said that is a mistake. And
everybody said, oh, you don't know what you're talking about. Well,
he was right. It is difficult because every single company
in China is owned by the Communist Party of China. Yeah,
(10:47):
there is no free market. And Brian and I know
you know this, some of your listeners may not. They
all have to swear allegiance to the state and that
they will do everything possible to put the state first,
including espion, spying, stealing of intellectual property, all of that.
And unless and until America can restore deterrence, military deterrence
(11:12):
with Taiwan, economic deterrence, energy deterrence, that's how you get
these people to understand you. You don't deal with a
playground bully by ignoring them, right, you have to stand
up to them. And that's if we have not been
doing that. And fast fact, China now emits more carbon.
(11:35):
If you're keeping track of carbon and greenhouse gases, then
the rest of the industrial world combined. We can all
hold our breaths and it wouldn't make a darn bit
of difference, even if you felt it would.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Well, again, another illustration of the stupidity of trying to
control the emissions, at least in terms of naturally occurring
emissions like carbon dioxide. I mean, you can keep you know,
benzene out of the air. You can take lead out
of gasoline and keep that from out of the air
and still have an efficient internal combustion engine. So there
(12:09):
are technological advances we can make to keep toxic chemicals out.
But carbon dioxide isn't toxic. It's planted food. And yeah,
and I going back to your point on the economic
realities of China. They didn't play along. I think that
was Nixon's idea of opening up free trade with China. Well,
if we just trade with them, they're enemies of the
Soviet Union. But looking at the Soviet Union and our
(12:31):
policies toward them and all the other Western nations, nobody
traded with them. They were isolated, and they fell apart
and collapsed economically for a multitude of reasons, but most
notably because we wouldn't engage in commerce and industry with them.
We choked them off. And if the rest of the
world decided to choke off the Chinese and they wouldn't
(12:51):
be able to build their military industrial complex.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
You're exactly right. And I think you'll also see, speaking
of speaking of sanctions, a return to maximum pressure on Iran,
because the last four years have not been good. We've
given them billions of dollars and they have sowed hate
and discontent all throughout the Middle East. But real quickly,
we talk about a lot of these energy pieces. Just
(13:18):
uploaded a new version of Charged Conversation speaking of Higheart
Radio where you can find it there or any other
place you find your podcast, where we talk about some
of the background and some of the political philosophy that
has gotten into this this climate debate, and it's really
not about climate debate, as you've pointed out, it's anti
(13:39):
capitalism and a lot of people are starting to wake
up and realize they've been lied to so point in
fact that you just mentioned in our atmosphere, seventy eight
percent of our atmosphere is nitrogen, about twenty one percent
is oxygen, one percent's argone gas. That's the stuff that
goes in neon lights. It's also harmless all that it
(14:00):
is an oxygen displacement that machines. When we get down
to it, we have for one hundreds of one percent
of our atmosphere is carbon.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Dioxide, plant food, plant.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Food less than four to one hundreds of one percent,
and as best as we can tell, humans are responsible
for sixteen I'm reading this right, how many decimal places
is for tens hundreds thousand, ten thousands, sixteen to ten
thousandths of one percent.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Yeah, it's not a thing. It's nothing. It's absolutely nothing.
And you know what, really really, and I'm going to
use the words pisses me off, recognizing that some people's
sensitivities may be bothered by that, but at that level
that I'm uttering it out loud. I was reading about
the so called Inflation Reduction Act, which was really the
(14:59):
Green New Deal project, and all of the programs and
incentives and millions and billions of dollars that are going
to various states for the purposes of carbon capture, and
to see Republican Administration officials in those dollar receiving states
fight to keep things like carbon capture just because it
(15:20):
benefits their bottom line. There reveals the reality and the
nefarious nature of all of this. It's really just a
it's wealth redistribution by another name, and it flows into
the coffers of administrations, regardless of political stripes. And once
they get hooked on the opium that that is, they
won't let it go to our detriment.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah, we are. The government is creating a false economy
that is not based on products or services that people
want to purchase, and that can only be sustained so
long as you have these tax breaks or tax credits
or other pieces. And I think getting back to President
(16:03):
Trump on his all the above strategy, which is actually
something both parties used to embrace. Yep, you want to
buy an EV, great, buy a EV, but I'm not
going to make you buy one. You want solar panels
on your roof, perfect, you know, you want nuclear fantastic.
We're gonna need it all, and we're going to need
it where it makes the most amount of sense. And
(16:25):
the things that are economically viable are going to survive.
Your Elon Musk knows about. You build stuff that people want.
You can have the greatest idea in the world, but
nobody's going to pay you for it. Only the government
creates an industry that doesn't exist.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Right exactly, now, where do you think DEI came from?
Which college education folks came out with degrees and something
where there was no market for them. So well, we're
going to make everybody have a DEI department in their company,
in their in their in their college, and their business,
and we'll employ all these people who otherwise have valueless degrees.
Bring him agown. Hudson dot Org is where you find
(17:03):
the Hudson Institute Charged Conversation. Search for it. It's brilliant.
You'll love listening to it. Find it on your iHeartMedia app.
Bring them until we get to talk again. If we
don't talk before Christmas, So if you have wonderful holidays
and merry Christmas and of course a happy New Year.
But I will welcome the opportunity to have you back
on the program before the end of the year. But
that doesn't happen, of course. Best of health and to
(17:24):
you and all of your loved ones.
