Everybody tries to show me tiktok videos and they always say the same thing. These guys are so stupid. You gotta look at this now, then. Why am I looking at a quel for entertainment purposes? For us at least, it will be worth it today and a brand new studios. America, as well, don't forget to subscribe to this podcast rate and review it as well. Also Studios America is available every day as well. We appreciate you doing so. Here's the podcast so the number forty five and probably number forty seven, president of the United States, Donald Trump hello, Mr Trump,
president trump? How are you Glenn? How are you I'm good? Thank you for for coming on and talking about this, You are The claims in this suit the Rico conspiracy. injurious falsehood conspiracy to commit interest, falsehood, malicious prosecution computer fraud and Abuse ACT, theft of trade secrets. The list goes on and on and on. This is really not. Is this a the twenty sixteen election or as is really about what they did to you this whole time I think it's about everything. It's covers a lot of territory. It was totally corrupt what they did if this were done- and you know this- perhaps better than anybody else in the universe- if this were done- the opposite way as you know, they spied on my campaign when I made that statement, oh, my god, what a horrible thing to say
Obama spider. My campaign and the Democrats, and and oh broke loose? If you remember, in fact, I put it out and yeah I've never seen. I don't think I've ever seen a reaction which usually means they're guilty, and you know normally, if they didn't do it, it wouldn't have that kind of, but they spied him campaigns if this ever happened, the opposite way? If, I spied on Obama's campaign or in Hillary Clinton's campaign hour than it would have been treason. It would have been ah everything right up into the death penalty and that may have been included too, but it would have been over it. then the biggest thing ever, but it didn't work that way. So we caught him and we, I'm cold and we've been building it up and building it up and watching it. Frankly, we wish a bill bar had the courage, you doing. Do it. also. Ah, but ah we decided to do at the bar was so afraid of being preached impeach. You know what to do anything you get
at the end of he was petrified of being impeached, so he they want to do a damn thing, but How do you not get peach? Let's not do anything but started dying down, but we we've been building this up for a long time, the Durham Report, just you know the early? Hopefully it's just the early moments of the Durham report came out and at added to it a lot Things are happening, a lot of things, but they all knew it can mean, like Obama knew about it too. I mean there. Wasn't a there wasn't crooked Hillary but dared. So are we that said names will be added to it as it goes along, but is very important, but can you Imagine if it were the opposite way and I spied on- let's say: Obama's campaign and not only that you know much of the stuff when you think about it took place.
can't pay. That was when we were in the oval office. I know they spy. So while we were in the oval office, so it wasn't just campaign which in itself is really bad, but but ah it took place when we were in the oval office. The the problem here? Is nobody ever pays for any there are no consequences anymore in government if you're on the right side people are sick to death of it, but this this is going now too I think his name is Donald Middlebrooks and he was appointed by bill. Clinton. a conflict of interest? In my opinion, this right we have a judge who is appointed by Bill Clinton Who knows Hillary Clinton very well and we're showing Hillary Clinton and Clinton. They were so into Democrats and we have a judge. This is the way it works
for Republicans. You know go right, and this is this. Is this, so I think it's a total conflict of interest and that's unfortunate yeah. This is the guy who threw out the lawsuit filed against Hillary over her. Her use in private email, accounts and servers. While she served as Secretary of state, so nobody could believe that he threw that out right. Nobody could believe believing. So what are the? What are the odds or what it? What is the plan? How how do you think you're going to? I can't believe I'm asking this question, because justice should be justice, but how are you going to maneuver around a judge like yes, well, I think, and talk to the lawyers they called up, and they said that we have good news and bad news. Everyone thinks this case is incredible. And I don't think I've ever received more positive remarks on the pitch they're, so tired Nobody doing anything I know, and we have them and we've caught them and then bar didn't act
because bar was lazy and and scared- and It was just. He was scared. MK welding if they wanted to hold him in contempt. You remember those day me up on any part of contempt which means going to jail. And he didn't want any part of impeachment they're going to impeach him numerous times so are you didn't do it into his job, but if you ve got wait, and it was it's very sad that he didn't, because this case is incredible. Now we have a judge who is We did by the Clintons and withdrew out stuff, like like it was it was wastepaper yeah, it's very unfair. So Mr President, you have a government officials like or call Mccabe Mackay, seemingly actively engaging in. This were waiting for the the Durham report, but
you have Bruce or funneling the Steele dossier to the d o J and the FBI. They knew that it was false We need a harsher punishment than justa a lawsuit, but do you have any confidence that the justice, but now is anything other than a political organ. well, it would be, wonderful will have to see and there you know we had swiss accumulating for a long time. it you know one of those things we're going to have to see we're hitting them very hard. More and more information is coming out, even since we filed at all of a sudden people are calling people are so happy dedication is finally being filed against these people with it. You know that lovers, they go out and they then they sue the government because they haven't been treated well. Yet they were using servers that everything that's the whole thing is crazy. So I said: if it I've gotta, do it
I'd rather not have to do this. I'd rather have government handle this should be handled by government, but it can it'll, be handled by us very strongly, and these are very strong catch people read those case said wow This is a strong case in this case will build now that problem, we have have those if you have a judge, is going to throw out the case and you have to go through appeals. Yet I think you have a greater your section but we'll see, but did sir it's very. so will probably ask for a maybe change of venue, but not a changes as much as a recusal. it is amazing. One of the defendants in the case is a former state payment, official and spokesperson for Clinton, Philip rains, and he said he tweeted. Yesterday I think this is hysterical. He looks forward to deposing President Trump. Well, I'm not too concerned they're laughing at this, and I have to tell you it's just, as a spectator here
you, are probably the most investigated man on planet earth, every single intelligence agency. It ll in five eyes and I'll betcha, it's all around the world Every newspaper every reporter every journalist have dug through ever nothing and you, clean. So what do they say? they're going to get from. You is a deposition, pretty clean? I have a friend a very successful guy said you was. In this history, about this Where poor, why so big law firm? That's a total debt? crash. Hillary Clinton firm sense, one of them bodies, Robert humor heads. It was one of the big parties, Robert Schuman, that show his brother Sends one of their big partners into them and Anti AIDS office take two of our people, the three of our people yet top gear- smart young, guys
And Georgia them in Manhattan, DA's office never happened before because they have of lawyers. do a good job. They took their partner top guy. anti Trump, but Trump hater like like you, wouldn't believe all of it made massive contribute one of the biggest donors that firm to Hillary Clinton put him, in the DA's office to prosecute Trump. Let's get, Now we can get them and then It's IRAN, whose father sold the Panama Canal is, you know for one dollar. a wonder in the worst. Perhaps the single worst business transaction ever made for our country, inside events. instead of using one of his hundreds and hundreds of lawyers. Of course, you use twenty percent of I heard close to twenty percent of the DA's office. Hundreds of lists twenty percent reduce this instead of the murders, the drug dealers to crime
Street crime in New York, which is at a record level. They were all soca getting some, but how would you get added offers the new gentleman who came in Alvin Bragg who is J Dot, considered liberal. He looked at This thing, and I mean I'm reading the papers, but what he said is such an honorable thing. he couldn't believe it. I heard he was very disturbed by the fact that they sent a team of Hillary Clinton painters in to prosecute trump Herm. That's that's a hundred and you know that's totally against one of the main democrat perks. I think the main Democrat from Wa- and I think they have trouble what is legal liability, but he says this back in to get trump takeovers, He says this guy is to get Donald Trump, so he acted as
prosecutor, he never tramper, who contribute to do so. It can use, but I'll, be brag, saw that and he also sought by the way the bank's word hurt- Trump's statement is very great state, but my statement is so strong and all other things, and I think that they sent a trump painter. did it to act as the dna bring down Donald Trump and they still couldn't find anything. I will I will her a good and I gotta live this life. I know I did a great job as President Now you wouldn't be in Ukraine. percent Russia would not be there one other person I spoke to put about it. I know that put his attitude towards Ukraine better than any closest girlfriend. Okay, I know his attitude that I know all about him in Ukraine. Is it don't ever do it? Don't ever do it?
and I told him why and I'm not of a dead you right now, but I'll tell you right time. But he would have never ever made the move. So we have a rigged and because of a rigged election we have potentially millions of people dying. Secret spiral into a nuclear war dangerous time in the history of this world. Because of nuclear? we've. Never had power like this, and I think that right, and we have a president- that's just that's grossly, incompetent, that's being tat over there. That has, no relationship, he just sits everyone talking screaming and you the other leaders are all at the top of their game, and you just watching them talk the thing is this happen? Ukraine should have never happened. I I find myself in the weirdest position at night. praying hard for the health of this president, because I think Kamala Harris would be even worse, President
Kamal she laughed at the emigrant, so my gosh, Harlem Immigration, its immigration and you see coming in on stretchers, with their arms cut off with their face smashed and horrible, and she laughing about it? I said: that's just not the right. Kim Jong Hoon also tested a new missile miss all what what or are we looking at a a split world their doubt talking about being the doll going away and getting a new digital they're out I mean this is insanity, and I don't think people understand why this administration has done with the sanctions that will crush the dollar. I don't think people understand how that's going to affect their lives still. I know sanctions better than anybody because they say the hell out of IRAN that they were ready to make a deal until the elections.
We would have had a deal within one we after the election, they were, they were ready to make a deal and I had the sanctions. But people don't understand that. Would you do sanctions, it hurts us sometimes more than it does the country you sanctioning? what it does is forces these big countries like Russia or others? That doesn't mean you don't do them, but you have to be very careful because it forces them to use other instruments, not the dollar. They go different ways: they sell their oil for gold or silver up and The sudden you saying well have to have the world is there was the dollar you should be do know the currency. When I left it was, it was very powerful. As an example. We use very strong sanctions on IRAN. The strongest ever used up until that point, but that deal would have been solved. We would have been right back of the dollar and they would have been fine and they would have that everybody would have been happy that was also tap at. Do deals in the arms of. Do you think, Mr President, that will
if this continues to spiral out of control. Joe Biden threatening China, which is just a joke, but do you think I don't see anything standing in their way if we're busy over in Europe with Is president of China just taking Taiwan ship. The only thing is that Putin done very poorly and she is looking at that and anything I'll bet put. Do that one One is the danger. Is this Putin say right now we're going to escalate into the next level of military, and you know what that is and ass, the world is well, he doesn't want to lose. I can tell you that it will be very interesting to see because data look. I knew very well This would have never happened, would have never happened now. People say what would you do now and there are things you can do now, but he had all the cards before he did it all. The cards.
and I thought he was negotiating when remove the troops. I didn't. You know why. I really thought it was agreed, negotiating. he should have been able to do something, but but he we have done it whether regarded or not. He would never have done it with me there, but he ever, but he's a guy that you cannot have him lose face. How, Do you give him a win here? I mean how do you? How would you solve this? If you had, in right now, he's not going to he's not going to walk away a loser. How do you give him a win? How do you end this see? I don't think a win anymore as the NATO thing. You know that they're not going to go into later, because that's not you gotta, add that before they should add that before, but it was never put in all fairness, it was never put on the table there was nobody saying: let's do this and certainly achieve
been cause. I guess they didn't believe you know they didn't think, take use really serious about doing it. Very few people do Maybe nobody except him did and you know I don't you manage tremendous mistaken on a humanitarian basis, just as bad as any ever seen him that it'll take a hundred years. rebuild their country and then knocking down buildings and things that are magnificent old we have in this country two hundred year old buildings that we think they're great. Now they have problems. Thousands of years old you know it's like. They have things that are very old and very beautiful. when they got there wiped out. A lot of things are wiped out a lot of a lot, Similarly, the people but artwork and so much is That country is devastated. It's going to take one hundred years to rebuild their country. after. Mr President, thank you. So much are you, Looking forward forward, you, you see more things coming from the Durham report that will help your case
Think so I mean it looks like you said a foundation and if you look at what he's got disease or Hillary Clinton people and he's got a very strong foundation, and you look at that and now you look at the time where they did live That was another terrible story really terrible. They do all about Hunter Biden. They misread that they knew all about survive. Criminality made a seventeen point difference, but we wanted. Anyway, we got seventy five million votes. We got more of us than any the President has ever got now we solved. If I got what I got the last, I got twelve made more votes we got what we got the last time we went so you know I I think that a lot. things. You gotta be happening over the coming years. You are very lucky to be doing what you doin, because you chose gonna, get very interesting, and so is the world. Unfortunately well fortunately, because much of it is sadly I have yes via Mr Perry
and thank you so much for talking to us. I I really appreciated this. Is this is something that every American, I don't care who you voted for, how you feel about any of the people that are involved here. Every American should care. What happened? and the power that has been gathered. By Hillary Clinton and the Dnc and how corrupt we have become this. We won't have fair elections and won't have freedom until some he pays a price for what has happened. Thank you very much Mr President preceding thank you learn that we have a very corrupt media, by that I mean yeah next time we are on Alaska, where the media is in the lawsuit. Thank you so much
God bless. This is the best of the Glenn Beck program. Mister bill O'Reilly began story of the week, Sir, good losing that's the biggest story of the week the month, maybe the year, okay, What does that mean It means that the russian military complex thought it would go in. Ten days and occupy of Ukraine and Zelensky would flee like they are. Afghan leaders did a and none of us happened and now with the Enquirer,
weaponry that NATO is descending into Ukraine? Remember the whole during border of Ukraine is open, you don't have anybody there, so they can get as much in a armaments and a humanitarian aid in there as possible. So Putin a now is embarrassed because every military expert in the world knows that his army is not performing well and instantly. The defence Minister of Russia- is that you catch that bag. Ass, agree that story. Yes, I wonder where he is probably looking out of a window and then wanting to see the sidewalk at close up distance quickly. Mobile Lake yeah. I would be like Howard chief. You know what blinking secretaries or anybody like that
Lloyd Austin Signal that that the Defence Minister of Russia has disappeared. Now none of the russian people know that probably the army doesn't even know it because there's no flow of information in Russia knocked down Facebook and Instagram and it's hard to tweet. accept the russian government can tweet worldwide because Twitter, hasn't ban that the russian government is okay, yeah, poodles, fine, Donald Trump, absolutely not hey Jack Dorsey. hello. Well, I mean he's probably still busy working on a reason to kick the Ayatollah off. I wanted
everyone listening to us right now, all the tens of millions of Glenn Beck fans to just step back and just think that a Former president of the United States is banned from twitter, yet the pool government is not. That is about it. Funding an indictment of air? corporation- I have ever seen Would you not agree that I would agree? I would agree, not complicated. not even the ladies on the view could understand it. You gotta tell them slowly. You I have every word with them, but they can grasp Well, you you had. I think it was you tube that removed the bus. Pack. Do because the press mentioned that it was a crooked election.
Gone hand, so dawn. Ok, so long as we all know what happened he s on our own country, but let's get back to potent, there's little lad. Five foot, seven, ok you haven't seen him topless lately, cause he's now serious glad, so he hasn't been topless hunting tigers he's. clothes watering, Ukraine, children, that's that's weird, It is a real macho man. You know the village. People love him so anyway, saudi role in there, at the eastern part of Ukraine would be waving russian flags and thank you for liberating us glad, you're the greatest guy and then he would occupy the key city. in Ukraine and duty- in their impose some guy, like they did in the bill, roofs and joy at those VLAD. That's what he thought now, there's no assurance.
that the russian Army will even defeat the Ukrainians so that it's been more than a month. The news the news today is that the Ukrainians have pushed the Russians completely out of Kiev, so they gained ground on the Russians. That's campus, leave, that's crazy problem now I know I know I know you can't believe any report I humbly out of you. And because the ukrainian government obviously is gonna go where Kickin Syria's abide and the Russians are our way, our guy, but but what is beyond any dispute is we are in the week five and the russian grown have any part of this so secured so built. Let me ask you this, but you know when we showed the world how incompetent we were in Afghanistan, it changed. Free ally and enemies remind about US
is this: do for Russia because we were always told Russia was a very good military and they had completely, updated and they are there better than they've ever been really. Excellent question back and I'm going to give you a surprising answer, so you have to The russian army are your draft it right there not signing up like the mirror, an army right right? So there's these guys out on the steps they're, seventeen eighteen years old, they're, all the sudden and a uniform. They don't want to be in a uniform there, not a lead forces and that who's getting the bulk of fighting in Ukraine? So this is like that. I mean
I thought Afghan extend was this for them, but this is like Vietnam for us and that's not asked the American I'll drop by virtues in in Vietnam. War not incorporated. The communist never beat us one time beyond our way way way, but there is a difference between incompetent. I don't want to take down the Vietnam soldiers by any stretch of the imagination, but their heart wasn't in it. That's true, because everybody militarized military performed very well under tremendously adverse circumstances in Vietnam. That's not the case in Ukraine, so the ukrainian fighters are for. motivated than a russian conscripts. But here's the most important thing of this embarrassment, military embarrassment for open she is watching this yeah now. Wooden cannot survive on this planet without China. So Now she is gone. You know what this might it'd be our best ally. We throw in with him we're going to get,
Comics sanctions put on us. That's going to hurt China big time, because it's an export economy. They have to sell their stuff overseas. If nobody buys it, the Chinese don't eat, so now. She goes look at this, so I I fully expect, because China is different from RI, this is one man causing this thing and in Ukraine, one man and one man only Putin, it's not the Duma is now the russian people, it's him China's different so she worries that the virtual dictator there he's got an answer. He's got an aunt. Putin doesn't have to answer not now, but when military turns on which I believe will happen. Well, that's going to be Cambodia Alright, so let me ask you this, because that is a a trap. Rap and even you know you, you corner a cat and they pounce they will fight their way out, and he is a
he's a fighter we backed him into a corner- Said President Trump on about an hour ago and and asked him this question. So does he find a way out, or does he amp things up and and actually consider things like chemical weapons and Trump told me? I don't know, I can't predict him. I don't know now that's a fair answer. some trump. I think it. Anybody know how emotionally damaged lad. Putin is, we know, he's emotionally damaged, because no rational. Human being would do what he did so we know that but again in order to carry out gas and nukes All of this, Army has to do it, the commanders have to do it and Putin is in a position now, where his main
guy, the defence minister. Obviously he wasn't performing. He's gone the Your commanders know that the Russian. the knowing that he's out and are they going they going to do that? I'm not sure so well, I mean look at project valkyrie I mean it takes for you to turn on a commander in chief who just can kill us, but when you talk and nukes in gas When you talk in that kind of stuff, then Russia, the the people, the military is the only in Russia that can neutralize Putin so people really that people can rise up and they can cause trouble, but they can't get them the military could so Putin is not nearly as strong as he was seven weeks ago. So aside, so suddenly ass this and I'm not asking you for a prediction, I'm asking you for the most,
likely or most probable outcome here. Do you see this ending quickly? Do you see this dragging on? Do you see him getting more violent or a coup and inside coup from the military I think that Putin has a few more weeks. to do whatever he thinks he can do, but the sanctions are really cutting into this. I chain, we have supply chain problems that America can you imagine the supply I came problems in Russia. Back they can't get big They cannot coke, they can, russia. You know this. Russia is a very different. The big cities are very organized or you know western, but when they run out of vodka yeah I mean you know, hey yeah. I know I know what I'm trying to say is this. I think, he's got a window. Putin about maybe
two or three more weeks that he can he's not going to be in a position of what they call it's a cliched do or die in that who is really periods. Olenska is already signal luck. We won't chewing NATO, they probably give, in a few eastern provinces in a country. If the law, they probably would do that, I think that the odds are the Putin will say. Ok, I'm gonna start and declare victory and Tell the russian people on a you know an announcement that the Russians are heroic and winfried. All these people- you know- that's, probably the best odds, but nobody can really know nobody can really predict it, but here's something that people don't know either the patch of the Russian Orthodox Church ninety percent of Russians or russian Orthodox, Key real is his name. He
supporting Putin. Unbelievable that this guy who's, like the Pope in Russia. Oh support, important because he's real, who is bound for Hell, hey Patriarch, really believe in Heaven and Hell guess where you we're going. Ok if he would say you know I think enough. Enough's enough, Putin would have to stop well. Putin is is positioned himself because of Alexander Dugan, as a as a defender of the face gave us on right when he stopped left, he wears a raw. I dont want even think about that. Bill are back. with more with below rye there's a ton to talk about. You can say the full hour with me bill. You know, I wouldn't do it for anybody else, but for you I know you.
Come on man you're in long island, you're you're, probably in your boxers and you've, got a metal detector you're out by the beach looking for coins or This is the best of the Alex Epstein, oh my gosh, President Biden is a fascist, oh How can you possibly say that Alex?
you for picking my most controversial and literally true quote. Yes, he is long time yeah. It is truth by the way. Let me introduce you, this is Alex Epstein e R Epstein. He is the founder and ceo right. The first time I had Epstein story doesn't really matter Alex Epstein, founder and ceo Center for industrial progress, author of the moral case for fossil fuels, and It is a great great book, alright Alex. How could that possibly be true? It's weird that the term fascism isn't used except to insult kind of pro freedom, people. Yes, what fascism has a literal meaning which I indicated in that tweet, which is it's it's essentially the same thing as socialism, which is Government ownership and control of everything, but under she's em there's this phony ownership. So you have title to property, but the governor, has unlimited ability to control your exercise of that property and in some ways it's worse than socialism.
can I ran roughly put it? As you know, it gives you the responsibility of ownership YAP without the benefits It almost sounds like the great reset, but I digress. Go ahead, Alex oh yeah! Well, it is but, but I think it's important, Glad you're highlighting the great reset, which is actually the great regress regress, is global fast. In particular, so it's not saying it's become out of fashion to say: okay, all US mark. People are going to literally own everything had control at delicate, no, you can on it, but we have unlimited control, including we get in well every molecule of to which basically means every body and every machine in the society. So I think it's really important to identify fascism as a thing and for it's negative associations to remain with it, and that, I think, is why it upsets people so much when I do it because they don't want that those associations, but those associations are very desert. so there's some disturbing things would like
coming out from Larry Fink, the head of Black Rock, which is one of the leaders of this fascistic movement. I mean it In case you don't know, he just said the act, it's taken by the private sector in review crane and Russia diamonds. The power of capital markets, how the more kids can provide capital to those who have constructively worked within the system and how quickly they can deny it to those who operate outside of it. mother that sounds terrifying, but free thing we said was coming, that is fascism and and what's happening is in Biden is saying We're going to do everything we can to get these oil prices down. No he's not he's doing exactly the opposite exam, actually the opposite any doing it through these corporations in a public private partnership on E s g to now,
not provide any of the financing for these companies to actually build the structure or reopen the infrastructure to get things flowing again, it is a lot of issues and I think all of those issues together in what just occurred a few days ago, which is the SSC announcing, knew what they climate related disclosure would miss. This is in that context where we have rising oil prices, rising gasoline prices, there's fuck and lowering security, particularly in Europe, but also concerns in the. U S and theirs. Recognition that we need more domestic fossil fuel production, and maybe that those who have been opposing domestic fossil fuel- over the years, our villains? In this case, Biden, administration, that's kind of an obvious thing, but the by administration is trying to stretch all logic and say no. In fact, we have done nothing to oppose a domestic
of your production, even though I've been doing this for the last twenty years, including as part of a bomb and even though I literally ran on I guarantee you. We will end fossil fuel, so they're trying to stretch this so much, but they can't help themselves because at the same time, just propose these rules, which literally say that that which, in effect me- and I should say that every company under certain jurisdiction It has to acknowledge climate catastrophism. You have to say our co2 emissions are not just causing warming, but literally global catastrophe you have to adopt practices that the government games good and they specified particular. Like renewable energy, which really means unreliable, solar wind. So if that's not fascism, I don't know it is, but it's it's even worse than regular fascism, because it's fascism, which means that green is the idea that human impact is bad, so it which is an anti industrial fascism for the worst world government control, but it's not even try
they make industry affected its trying to make in this. three green, which ultimately means just we don't do anything. So here's here's one thing that cause I'd. Make the moral case but here's here's something that most people don't know when I got into office. Rick Perry was our Secretary of Energy and he went over to Poland and Poland is somebody that was completely dependent on Russia, for their gas and risks, well how much gas do you guys need, and he told them. The President of Poland told him and he's like. I think we can get that from just Texas alone, about your gas problem. We were shipping so much natural gas over to Poland, that they were actually selling. it because they had enough for themselves, they were selling part of it too. crane that took everybody out of the Russia Pipeline and Biden comes in at over we're not sending it now.
That's insanity well so there's just this basic fact, which is at the US, has virtually limitless quantities of fossil fuel that we can produce domestically and so and- and this is true of the world in general. So when you see price spikes and supply not meeting demand, you can be sure that the political phenomenon, not a physical phenomenon or some like Laura Gill, or something like that and then, The gas case that you raise a very instructive ample reason. My podcast power, our I had Toby races. The ceo U T, which is the nation's largest natural gas producer, and so you know we could be producing a third more natural gas if we had the pipeline infrastructure and the export industry, What he's who's been opposing pipelines and exports for twenty years? Joe Biden and, in general, the anti fossil fuel left. So the idea that they have done nothing to restrict production is just an incident our intelligence yeah. So talk to me
I mean because when people say we've got to get off fossil fuels getting off of fossil fuels. Even if we were building all kinds of nuclear reactors we must have fossil fuels because all lost everything in our lives. Has petrol chemicals attached to it correct That's true, but it's it's a relatively small fraction of fossil fuels and it's particularly oil and natural gas. Will they can do that stuff with cool, so you're right that the general? the idea of keep it in the ground. One being a major reason is just totally ignorant and destructive is because we have all these life enhancing synthetic materials. So if you want to keep it in the ground, that means the art shall hearts are never going to exist. That means you know, refrigerators you're not going to exist. Modern foundation is not going to sell it What it really shows is the just fundamental irresponsibility of the anti fossil fuel movement, but it's not just the petrochemicals, the main
This is the energy because, following those still are uniquely cost effective source of energy which means they provide low, cost reliable energy for all types of machine. including heavy duty, industry and transportation things that nothing else does right now do it on a scale of billions of people in thousands of places, and this the world that is dramatically underpowered, we still have three billion people using less electricity in a typical, Refrigerator and that's why I say I have a new book coming out in two months called fossil future and it is a fossil future. And we need to embrace that, because the world needs more energy. Fossil fuels are good, we should be, Liberating nuclear are what I call it decriminalized nuclear, that's, a key thing for human beings to flourish for decades and generations to come. we need to be doubling down on fought. So right now it looks like the the new axis power. If it's cobbled together, include much of Asia. China, of course,
and India. Maybe even Saudi Arabia and Russia there, all going to double down on fossil fuels, which makes our fight for climate ridiculous. Could you can't do half of the world, but that's what we're but do what happens to the west. If we continue to go down this road with a great reset and choking to death all of our fossil fuels. What what that mean for us, I'm glad you're highlighting this in fossil future. I use the term unilateral disempowered meant to discuss this because we are worried. Unilateralism, get we're not gonna, be empowered by fossil fuels for one sixth of the the missions and declining. So what happens, is one Eric's go ahead and declining, and so, if you look at it,
Billy, terrifying men were just getting a memory now of the seventies, which I was not alive and I was born and night. Maybe, but I know the history people had no idea until recently what an energy crisis is like right, what you will do in an energy crisis, but what you see what Europe is look, how I they are in the face of Russia. They won't do anything. Why? Because chicken literally kill them their energy supply because they were so irresponsible and made themselves super dependent on Russia. This is the beginning that there can be far more control, so the ability to cut off people's energy. Then there's also just the ability to how far more resources for any kind, me and end to wage war, a brilliant point: Palmer, Lucky who's, the crater vacuous Plaza created that the new device company on derail like one of the few tech guys who's really pro american, he made the with that you know you succeed in wars with a massive domestic production ability that you
sustain our hair to China right now and what's going to happen, if we keep mandating unreliable sore wind and then they using sixty plus percent and ten call for their electricity including to make our unreliable solar, the winter. But we're going to be will be France at best France, without nuclear power. Let me ask you this keep talking about. You know. Well, where gas is so expensive, you just buy an electric car, the Christy coming from the outlet is not a magic box. Most of it is made by coal. Some of it is made by fossil fuels. Some of it is made by by nuclear but You can not cut off the fossil fuels in our power plants. how fast, what does it look like? What percentage has to be plugging their cars in before we? We without changing anything, have an end
budget crisis because of electricity, yeah, that's it's a great thing to raise. You know the Babylon Bee I live in California still and the Babylon Bee had this great headline when Newsome the Newsome is just piece of work, as you know, by twenty thirty five. If it were outlawing gasoline cars I had this great how headline your governor outlaws was like You know gasoline cars or mandate electric cars in a state without electricity if you've been talking about we're going to say we're going to use all of these battery cars and yet we're your cutting our ability to produce electricity and were seeing even more than the canary in the coal mine with what's happened in California with what's happened to Texas, just a fundamental thing happening, is people are mandating unreliable, solar and wind and they are divest thing from reliable power plants and in particular they are not investing in Brazil
Is he measures? That's a lot of what happened in Texas, where you don't weatherize, things said, while Alberta was did great with worse pictures during the week of the Texas crisis. I texted that a disaster, because it's it's no! Seventy billion dollars on solar and wind and the related infrastructure. So it's it's a disaster to depend on Elect, like the more you have electric vehicles you have to have an amazingly robust grid and yet we're mandating these vehicles and worsening the grid. Just gives the government total control and can lead to total. after the
