00:00:16.900
our guest today is jackie from the jackie daily show it's a weekly show actually right here on
00:00:23.140
the blaze and she talks about energy and oil and climate change and environmentalism and all of
00:00:29.980
the stuff she can talk about a ton of other things but this is her beat and she is an expert at
00:00:35.040
explaining the ins and outs and all of it of of all of it and uh just a fun little tidbit about her so
00:00:41.580
when i started at the blaze it was called the blaze then now it's blaze tv but when i started
00:00:48.200
at the blaze at the beginning of 2017 i don't even remember how exactly i got connected to her
00:00:54.360
but i knew that she worked at the blaze someone connected us and she was nice enough to meet
00:01:00.280
with me i hadn't even started really in any of this i had a little blog of course she had never
00:01:04.460
heard of it it was called the conservative millennial but she agreed to meet with me at
00:01:09.000
her office and she just asked me what i wanted to do um and she gave me i remember that day so much
00:01:15.400
encouragement she affirmed that she felt like i was a you know a good communicator that i could do the
00:01:21.900
things that i wanted to do she doesn't even realize that the encouragement that she gave me
00:01:26.440
and nobody that day it really did give me a lot of confidence to pursue what i want to do and now
00:01:31.980

00:01:40.540
what i do now and she's just such a such a sweet lady in addition to being a very knowledgeable and
00:01:45.600
it's a successful person and so you're going to love love love this conversation and you're going to
00:01:50.180
get a lot out of it so without further ado here is our friend jackie
00:01:54.320
jackie thank you so much for joining us thank you first let's start with the basics why are gas prices
00:02:05.800
so high right now okay so gasoline is uh derived from oil it is an oil product and so when the price
00:02:12.920
of oil goes up the price of gasoline goes up all the time no exception and so when you have for
00:02:19.900
example a war although this started long before the war but i'll just say this first anytime there
00:02:26.120
is a war typically commodities prices shoot through the roof oil and gas wheat soy corn so what's
00:02:34.140
happening now is piling on hard to the problems we already had which were pretty difficult to describe
00:02:41.300
and complex but i'll try basically um there are major oil producers in the world only three uh basically
00:02:49.000
saudi arabia russia and the u.s after the fracking revolution we're back to being a top or the top
00:02:55.860
producer at good prices um there are lots of other countries that produce but the bottom line is there's
00:03:02.140
demand how much does the world need at any given moment and then there's supply how much can those
00:03:07.620
suppliers put onto the market to meet that demand if the supply is low you have to pay more because
00:03:12.980
there's less of it if the supply is high you pay less because you're flooded in it so this is how gas
00:03:18.640
prices work generally speaking um most recently the covid shutdown was artificially suppressing demand
00:03:28.160
people weren't driving businesses weren't open so all of a sudden the demand for oil tanked because of
00:03:35.260
that a lot of u.s oil and gas companies went bankrupt they could not survive this artificial uh it wasn't
00:03:42.160
covid that did it was covid policy right it was a shutdown uh probably very ill-advised uh for as long
00:03:48.400
as it went on but the point is that now you have less producers in the u.s which is the top producer
00:03:54.680
of oil so that oil is missing we don't have it for starters then with a war typically throughout my
00:04:03.000
lifetime and yours and and even our grandparents at least since the advent of opec in the 60s and what's
00:04:09.240
the organization of petroleum exporting countries saudi arabia iran venezuela many countries in that
00:04:18.700
category of you know petro state dictatorship doesn't share our values often hostile to this
00:04:26.540
country so we can't rely on them to give us oil and gas even though they control about 70 percent of
00:04:32.120
the supply they're a cartel um so in the 60s they all came together to form the cartel and from that
00:04:39.060
time forward um if you wanted to spike the price of oil so you're one of those countries you can't meet
00:04:45.740
your budget you need revenues you want to line your pocket dictator all you have to do is start a war
00:04:51.280
so when you knock off production in another oil producing country iraq syria iran wherever
00:05:00.880
nigeria libya wherever you can gin up a problem civil strife or war and knock them off production
00:05:09.120
supply comes off prices go up so for all of our lives people like russia leaders and and and opec leaders
00:05:18.040
have had an incentive to gin up warfare that's how they make money that's how they get the price of
00:05:23.980
oil to go up and this went on until the fracking revolution in the u.s so for the first time so much
00:05:32.420
of our existing oil and gas in this country which was always there trapped in rock in shell rock uh was
00:05:38.380
was viable economically we could get it out of the rock economically because of new technology
00:05:43.820
that hit really big um it's been around for a while but it really hit its stride in about 2012
00:05:49.940
or 2014 so all of the american oil patch came alive again from you know it's been dead since the 80s
00:05:57.500
mostly um another story but i don't have time for it but basically um this is why all this money and
00:06:04.520
all these people poured into the u.s oil patch to boost our production taking us from about five
00:06:09.420
million barrels a day um 15 years ago to about 10 to 11 on a good day and some people say we get up to
00:06:16.860
15 that's enough to replace a russia but what it was important was it was putting so much oil on the
00:06:23.280
market the price was coming down down down down in all these petro states and people like putin are
00:06:29.180
going broke so when the price of oil goes from a hundred dollars a barrel down to 26 right as it did in
00:06:36.240
2016 that is russia facing state failure they cannot make their budget it's the majority of
00:06:44.760
their budget the majority of their revenues and even more so for the gulf states so this is a crisis
00:06:51.640
for the u.s oil production is a crisis and they'll do anything they can to destroy it which is why
00:06:57.700
russia funds our green movement to fight our pipelines to fight our fracking they do the same
00:07:02.840
in uh europe according to the nato leader rasmussen um hillary clinton said this when she was in the
00:07:09.680
state department she's like constantly it's what we're up against the russians you know fracking
00:07:13.880
bad pipelines bad and we can't get anything done so hillary's not really a green you know she's not
00:07:19.760
really a green movement person i'm not sure if any of these people really are it's hard for me to
00:07:24.300
believe that they're honest about it many of them are not many of them are grifters there's big money to
00:07:28.240
be made because in the green movement they dangle this carrot of two trillion dollars will be
00:07:33.620
redistributed to green technology so in dc when i was there for seven years on capitol hill everyone
00:07:41.200
and their brother was forming a solar company a defense contracting company a wind company to get
00:07:48.020
in line for that so this is why the west is on board it's the promise of massive money and then
00:07:54.980
massive pr campaign a lot of the money coming from overseas from our competitors they're putting
00:08:01.060
the money in to take out their number one competitor which is u.s oil and gas producers
00:08:05.000
and the reason they have to do this is activism only works in a free country where there's freedom
00:08:10.040
of speech freedom of press freedom to assemble and protest um and and and you can vote in what should
00:08:18.740
be real elections to put your favorite candidate in this kind of activism doesn't work in riyadh
00:08:26.200
in moscow in china in tehran right they couldn't care less they're going to do what's best for their
00:08:31.320
countries economically to be superpowers they don't care what the sierra club thinks but they'll sure
00:08:37.440
send them money to battle us so um we're unique in all the world because in this country our president
00:08:45.540
does not dictate our oil and gas production it's not up to him we are the only country where the
00:08:52.440
individual property land or owners uh landowners own the mineral estate or the oil and gas beneath their
00:08:58.740
feet so literally millions of americans own our oil and gas whereas you know putin and and the
00:09:05.740
russian government owns russian oil and gas the house of sod owns saudi arabian oil and gas there are
00:09:11.460
these families that just are at the top and that is it but in this country not only do we own what
00:09:18.120
is beneath our feet so it's up to us whether to produce it or not but then you have millions tens
00:09:24.320
of millions of americans who are invested in it so pension funds um you know mutual funds etfs chances
00:09:32.040
are we're all in but if you're invested at all chances are very high you're invested in oil and gas and
00:09:36.740
you kind of own a part of that because you own equity in those companies and exxon or chevron or
00:09:41.820
continental or apache or you know the thousands of american companies that produce oil and gas we
00:09:46.800
think of the big seven uh which is exxon and bp and shell but they actually don't produce the majority
00:09:52.960
of our oil and gas it's a bunch of mom and pop shops um i go to the conferences thousands of companies
00:09:59.540
that produce oil and gas and so and biden can't control them but what he can do is regulate them out of
00:10:05.740
existence and he's done that to the best of his ability the there's no more polarized issue in
00:10:13.080
this country than climate right which is energy which is oil and gas not race not abortion not the
00:10:20.420
border no climate so you tell me what you believe about you know is climate change an existential threat
00:10:27.720
for which you should hand over all of your paycheck to the government and forfeit our sovereignty to a
00:10:32.380
world body to solve it if you believe that i know who you're voting for if you don't believe that i
00:10:38.000
know who you're voting for it's a very clear um you know cut distinction distinction so um uh the point
00:10:46.420
is that biden can be blamed and should be blamed for what's happening because his policies reversed all
00:10:54.880
the trump policies which were be as as as uh hit the accelerator as hard as we can by pulling the epa
00:11:04.440
off of these companies that's what trump was that's what trump was doing yeah that was what trump was
00:11:08.900
doing like his epa his fish and wildlife service were being serious about getting these phony um
00:11:15.980
endangered species uh actions whether regulatory or in the courts off of people because if they if they
00:11:22.640
say there's an endangered lizard in the biggest oil field in texas what they're trying to do is stop the
00:11:27.360
oil production in the biggest oil field in america that's what's really going on no one cares about
00:11:32.180
that lizard until they can find it on top of our oil patch and then someone probably funded by a foreign
00:11:36.480
government is uh you know in an ngo or non-profit suing inside the government to take all this production
00:11:42.760
offline just to give people another example i remember talking to some people in bakersfield california
00:11:48.120
because of the delta smelt to your point a really small tiny fish in the body of water that they
00:11:54.340
needed to use to water their crops they weren't able to use this body of water anymore which actually
00:12:01.420
had a huge economic impact and supply impact on california because of environmental agencies saying
00:12:07.480
no we need to protect this one fish so sorry you can't use this water to uh water your crop so
00:12:13.220
just to your point that is absolutely happening that's what the epa is doing and you're saying trump
00:12:17.560
tried to try to hold that back a little bit dial that back his appointees tried to dismiss these
00:12:24.780
actions these enforcement actions these lawsuits and there are a thousand and one ways to do it it's
00:12:29.780
like there's also oh there's a wetland on this oil patch somebody found a wetland boom off production
00:12:35.140
or um the the obama administration tried to expand the definition of waters of the united states which is a way
00:12:42.560
to expand federal jurisdiction by saying that a a mud puddle in your property that fills up with water
00:12:50.160
during the rainy season is a navigable water of the united states that they could regulate it's a
00:12:55.040
thousand and one tricks i mean it's going on constantly across tens of thousands of bureaucrats
00:13:00.600
and the federal agencies to try to destroy any u.s oil and gas production in the name of climate change and
00:13:06.340
they have a thousand tricks so the trump administration tried to roll all that back
00:13:10.460
and that wasn't really seen much in public and then the biggest threat i think this happened is no longer
00:13:16.400
the frack bans like you see in new york state or the pipeline protests like just the keystone being
00:13:22.540
one of many um the big threat is called esg investment criteria oh we know all about esg on this show
00:13:31.120
okay good so so many people don't yes and um i went to washington in uh in 2020 because i used to
00:13:37.760
go to the white house and have some meetings uh as part of a team and people didn't know what it was
00:13:42.660
in 2020 so this is how quick and how new i mean it's an old idea but it's really hit its stride in the
00:13:49.780
last couple of years and the idea is um environmental social governance is esg criteria basically it's like
00:13:57.360
chinese social credit score it's a wokeness score on a corporation is it woke enough and of course oil
00:14:03.980
and gas is like zero on the woke scale because it's not green so you're not environmentally sound
00:14:10.720
therefore um the the bank or the financial institution will not lend you the millions that
00:14:15.800
you need to go explore and develop your wells so as of like 2019 more than half of the financial
00:14:23.800
institutions that back oil and gas production in this country swore them off and divested because
00:14:28.940
of esg low esg scores that's such a good you know we just this will come out on thursday we just had
00:14:33.760
yet another conversation on tuesday about the great reset and all of that this is a really good example
00:14:39.020
for people to understand the consequences of an esg score yeah so so why is your gas why are gas prices
00:14:44.520
high esg has a lot to do with it if you can't get any money in the oil patch you can't operate
00:14:49.000
it's that simple and we are a private sector oil generator as opposed to like these all these other
00:14:55.480
countries are government so we don't have any power to compel anyone to give us money to go produce
00:15:03.040
our producers are ready to go they would love to make money at these prices i mean there's never been
00:15:07.460
a better time since 2008 was the last time to drill and produce and make money and some of them can't
00:15:15.140
because they can't get the financing that they need so that's being choked off and um you know
00:15:21.300
when donald trump was president he tried to say to the sec securities exchange commission and the
00:15:27.200
department of labor which governs where your pensions are invested and was implementing esg to pull your
00:15:34.460
pensions out of uh oil and gas and coal and other things firearms manufacturers and payday loan
00:15:41.940
lenders and all that um you know trump said no we are not doing that we're going to abide by the law
00:15:48.040
which says that um you must look out for the returns of the retiree you don't get to play politics with
00:15:54.900
their money what you have to care about when you're regulating is whether or not we're getting returns so
00:15:59.820
being diversified is important including in energy and so that reversed esg during the trump
00:16:06.480
administration inside the department of labor and inside other there are many agencies actually this touches on
00:16:11.480
yes and then biden immediately reversed that so there are so many ways that are not seen
00:16:17.700
uh not debated because congress is like the theater right congress is the opera it's the it's the soap opera
00:16:24.440
it's the shiny object but the real dirty work is done inside the agencies by unelected bureaucrats that
00:16:31.000
you can't get rid of trump couldn't get rid of they are the deep state they are the c level um uh appointees
00:16:37.920
they're just they're there for life they're committed they're ideologues it doesn't matter who's president
00:16:44.340
and we need some serious civil service reform to be able to fire those people and one of the ideas
00:16:49.780
for getting rid of this lot was moving all the federal agencies out of dc and into real america
00:16:57.360
right next to the problems they're supposed to be solving right i said let's send dhs to nagadoches
00:17:03.820
arizona right the highest crime rate you know for border crime at the time way back then yeah um let
00:17:09.900
dhs uh you know people who like to do the dc cocktail parties go out to nagadoches and live in the center
00:17:16.200
of the problems they're creating so true yeah or you know send them to mino north dakota average
00:17:22.100
temperature negative seven or something someplace that isn't sexy someplace that um uh gets them out of
00:17:29.240
the beltway bubble and into real america and that would have forced a lot of retirements right there
00:17:35.000
so there are some things that the biden administration has done just kind of reiterating
00:17:39.200
your point that people have questions about because there's a debate obviously the biden
00:17:43.200
administration i've seen some sources that they call themselves unbiased but really they're liberal
00:17:48.420
saying you know biden has no control whatsoever over the price of gas um there's nothing that the
00:17:55.240
biden administration could do at this point to lower the price of gas the keystone xl pipeline would
00:18:00.580
have taken years to build so that's not going to have an effect on it jen saki said um she said
00:18:07.760
recently you know there's there's plenty of leases right now there are plenty of people who can start
00:18:12.780
producing gas if they want to and in fact i think we have a clip where she basically belittles this idea
00:18:18.400
that their administration could do anything to have an effect on this so let's play that exchange if we can
00:18:24.660
would president biden ever undo his executive order that stopped the construction of the keystone
00:18:30.300
xl pipeline are you suggesting that would solve the gas prices issue well do you think that that would
00:18:36.060
maybe affect prices faster than getting the whole country off of fossil fuels i actually don't think
00:18:42.840
it would the keystone uh was not an oil field it's a pipeline also the oil is continuing to flow in
00:18:50.780
just through other means so it actually would have nothing to do with the current supply so is that
00:18:56.620
true is it true that the biden administration basically has their hands tied and they can do
00:19:01.400
nothing to help the situation that's completely and totally false so either she doesn't know what
00:19:05.360
she's talking about um or it's a bold brazen lie i mean i would say there's a very good chance
00:19:09.860
she was an english major at william and mary she probably knows nothing about oil and gas so she gets a
00:19:14.280
handful of talking points that that say almost nothing and she says almost nothing um you know
00:19:20.280
it's completely false and so uh if he had not on the day one of his administration blocked that pipeline
00:19:25.920
you know what we might be really close to having it complete and and actually if if previous
00:19:31.300
administrations like the obama administration hadn't spent six years shutting down these international
00:19:35.960
pipelines from canada to the u.s they've been done years ago there's no excuse for being in this
00:19:40.980
position this is not just the biden administration it's years of bad planning and bad policy
00:19:46.360
kowtowing to a green movement that's not really green and that's a different show i could do a
00:19:51.660
whole show on that um but most of the people are well-intentioned but this just doesn't work
00:19:56.780
um her her defense of the state of the union address contrasts sharply with what she just said
00:20:03.700
she said we're putting up 500 000 electric vehicle charging stations um by 2030 right
00:20:10.960
we we have two million miles of pipeline in this country and we can have a whole lot more
00:20:15.520
if only they would get out of the way at the federal level and the states are a problem too
00:20:20.380
sometimes but the point is she thinks 2030 and charging stations are a solution for a problem that
00:20:27.340
we could fix so fast we need what we need right now is about 15 billion dollars pumped into the oil
00:20:33.920
pouch immediately an investment and we could get our levels um by the end of the year back up to about
00:20:39.880
2019 levels before the shutdown um so it can't happen overnight i mean it's easy to shut down a
00:20:46.420
well and say we're not making money or whatever's going on let's just pause but to ramp it back up
00:20:51.580
get the team back up get the money have the certainty have the infrastructure which is pipelines to get
00:20:56.540
your product from where you are to where it needs to be timely without shutdowns from activists
00:21:01.600
protesting or whatever you can't predict the political risk in this country is crazy for people in oil and gas
00:21:07.300
it's a big gamble because these are high investment dollars uh going in um there are a thousand
00:21:14.040
things that they could be doing and to pretend uh i mean she probably doesn't know any better
00:21:19.500
yeah i just think jen saki doesn't know what she's talking about more i'd say that before i would say
00:21:23.440
she's intentionally lying to you she probably has no idea what she's saying yeah i want to play you
00:21:28.080
this short clip speaking of just completely nonsensical solutions of pete budu judge we also played it on
00:21:33.820
tuesday him suggesting well why don't people just buy electric cars that'll solve this problem here
00:21:39.800
he is last month we announced a five billion dollar investment to build out a nationwide electric
00:21:44.780
vehicle charging network so the people from rural to suburban to urban communities can all benefit from
00:21:51.280
the gas savings of driving an ev is that a solution to high gas prices this drives me crazy um so much
00:21:58.520
is wrong with that statement from start to finish number one we don't have time to build out all this
00:22:02.640
stuff we need to use what we have right now in place already for the immediate crisis does he
00:22:07.400
understand there's a war going on that can quickly explode into something much bigger does he understand
00:22:13.940
we don't have time for this second he clearly doesn't understand that electric vehicles are made
00:22:20.500
from oil every piece of them are made from oil the fiberglass the paint the battery everything is made
00:22:28.680
from oil moreover i mean the battery components themselves are made of rare earth elements the
00:22:33.600
supply chain of which is controlled by china is giving more supply chain control to china the germans
00:22:39.040
are doing the same right now they're doubling down in the middle of this war like oh this is a great time
00:22:42.980
to build more solar and more electric vehicles no they're because they're like you know we control our
00:22:47.740
solar you know russia controls the natural gas they have the gas we control the solar no you don't
00:22:53.280
china controls the solar and the electric vehicles and by the way germany is sitting on top of
00:22:57.440
a sea of natural gas that they refuse to frack because the green movement succeeded in getting
00:23:01.780
them to commit suicide and become totally dependent on the russians and that's what's happening here
00:23:06.400
too yeah which is disgusting it's there's no excuse for this and by the way buddha judge um the the
00:23:12.980
electric vehicle runs on electricity has he stopped to ask what is electricity made from in this country
00:23:20.540
in some countries it's made of oil not this one it's made of natural gas which is also a hydrocarbon same
00:23:27.000
as oil it's made from coal those are the two biggest contributors a a electric powered vehicle
00:23:32.620
is a fine thing but it's a coal powered vehicle it's a natural gas powered vehicle those are
00:23:38.400
hydrocarbons just like oil they're fossil fuels they're they're oil gas and liquid forms are the
00:23:43.140
same thing um now natural gas burns cleaner that's true um but also it's a nuclear powered vehicle
00:23:50.460
less than less than 10 percent of this country's energy electricity comes from wind and solar after
00:23:56.700
all these tens of billions of dollars that you've paid in your tax bill and your electric bill
00:24:00.980
to subsidize it and it only works a third of the time in good times in bad times like the texas freeze
00:24:08.920
wind collapsed to 1.5 percent of its capacity complete no-show when you need it most that is the hallmark
00:24:16.460
signature trait of wind and solar if there's a hurricane oh sorry we gotta shut down the wind
00:24:21.300
turbine so they don't get damaged you don't get much sun uh on a solar panel in the middle of a
00:24:26.340
hurricane you know when you need the most is when they're absent and and uh it's not dispatchable it's
00:24:33.280
not reliable you can't store it as of yet someone will invent that someday but we can't make plans
00:24:38.920
based on what might happen someday right 20 years from now so is there any truth to what environmentalists
00:24:45.280
say that oil and fracking is bad for the environment to people who are out there who are skeptics say they
00:24:50.880
think that they're environmentalists and they say okay well jackie then what is the solution
00:24:56.140
okay so we have to start with some assumptions uh i would back up to the very first assumption
00:25:03.320
that that climate change is an existential threat okay this is false people call me a denier that's
00:25:10.100
ridiculous i don't even know anyone who denies climate change it's happening it's happened since the
00:25:14.100
beginning of time for as long as recorded history can tell us it's natural and we contribute uh we
00:25:20.580
exhale in fact uh just exhaling contributes being alive contributes yeah so we're the enemy i suppose
00:25:27.120
in their eyes but um that's a whole other conversation another show yeah um but there's nothing to be
00:25:33.200
afraid of uh they're they're really really really good news that no one's talking about um except maybe
00:25:38.820
obama's former deputy secretary of energy uh steve coonan who wrote a book called unsettled
00:25:43.880
he's amazing uh get the book unsettled um is this i saw him give a presentation here in dallas
00:25:50.300
here's just one example he said he took the top 27 climate models people think there's one that's
00:25:57.780
catastrophic no there are many many many many he took the top 27 average them and then compared
00:26:03.920
what they had projected for the past 10 years to actual temperature rise so how did the theory or
00:26:11.080
the model compare to the actual he found the models overshot warming by 45 percent so we're 45 percent
00:26:20.080
better off than the average model suggested now i'll tell you i suspect the press only cites to the
00:26:27.920
most extreme top five models right the worst case scenario because that's what sells is fanaticism
00:26:34.720
and scaring people if it bleeds it leads and so if you took the top five percent and average them and
00:26:40.500
compared them to the actuals they're probably i'm guessing about 80 percent above what they said we
00:26:44.880
would be so the first issue is global warming is not anywhere near what we've been sold like not even
00:26:50.880
close this is nothing that mankind cannot manage we've got this we've totally got this this is not
00:26:56.740
something to lose sleep over this is not something to not have children over um this is not something
00:27:02.200
to wreck your economy and go back to living amish over because that's what we require liberty away
00:27:06.680
over because that's really kind of what's behind it not just the money but also if people believe that
00:27:10.760
they're in an existential crisis and if you just give enough power to the government just like in any
00:27:15.580
other crisis um then they will be able to solve this for you and for future generations people are going
00:27:21.520
to be willing willing to do that that is also why the press why liberal politicians use the most extreme
00:27:28.140
models to try to say we are in this existential crisis totally they're going to exploit this to
00:27:33.740
the hilt and do everything they can to concentrate power uh in washington so watch the politicians right
00:27:40.700
there there's kind of a divide in the country one side does everything it can to concentrate power and
00:27:46.320
money in the hands of a few in washington dc the other side does everything they can to decentralize
00:27:52.080
power and money into the states in the local governments because it's less dangerous right like
00:27:58.240
nothing's more dangerous than government only government can draft you into a war and drop you
00:28:04.460
into a triple canopy jungle or um round you up and commit a genocide or um take away your freedom
00:28:12.040
under false pretenses and throw you in a cage for the rest of your life in a prison i mean
00:28:15.760
government is very powerful as elon musk said is the biggest corporation and has a monopoly on legal
00:28:21.480
violence so some of us are saying wait a minute how about we not hand over our money and our sovereignty
00:28:30.580
and our rights to a handful of people who obviously don't know what they're doing and can't be trusted
00:28:34.840
um that's the american heritage you don't trust the government that's what it's all about
00:28:40.800
and so um we don't have a problem that we can't handle absolutely climate change is happening um i
00:28:48.380
think it's an interesting conversation i enjoy it but this is not do not let fear be the driver as
00:28:55.960
soon as you get into the fear mode thinking shuts down it's proven so don't let them do that to you
00:29:01.660
um become educated i said you know there's so many great books out there but i think steve kunans is
00:29:06.920
the best i mentioned unsettled because he holds three department chairs at nyu in physics and um i
00:29:13.720
don't even know what all this guy's like a genius and um he's a democrat and he just tells you the
00:29:19.820
truth yeah don't be afraid i just i know that we have to close out but i know people are still
00:29:26.020
wondering like why why does it seem like the biden administration continually puts america last
00:29:31.680
in different ways but especially when it comes to this policy you mentioned kind of in passing
00:29:36.180
putin funding environmentalists because it does put america last it weakens america makes us rely on
00:29:42.040
these regimes including russia for oil and gas and here is the energy secretary under biden basically
00:29:48.180
admitting that what we're trying to do is get away from oil and gas altogether we're working through
00:29:54.200
we're working through an energy transition and we've got to start by adding energy and the reality
00:30:02.000
is we have to take some time to get off of oil and gas we recognize this this is a transition
00:30:08.320
so basically i think she's saying that these are these are transitional pains and we're just going to
00:30:14.020
have to kind of be okay with us not relying on our domestic resources with prices going up this is the
00:30:20.120
way it's going to be there is a another nominee under biden saying that they want to bankrupt the
00:30:25.080
oil and gas industry all in the name of climate change what do you think about that so this is
00:30:30.900
fantasy and i mean any credible authority whether it's the u.s energy information administration or
00:30:36.360
whether it is the international energy agency or the bp statistical review or whatever you want to look
00:30:41.280
at says we're still going to be 80 dependent on fossil fuels in 2040 that is the reality so there is no
00:30:49.680
technology that can take its place it is not physically possible with the technology we have
00:30:54.900
now five years from now i don't know what someone invents but for now there is not enough
00:31:01.540
renewable energy in the world to even begin even begin to make this transition they're talking about like
00:31:10.080
it's happened started 10 years ago um uh i don't even know where to start but basically i saw a study
00:31:16.640
that last year according to the energy information agency all of our battery storage for wind and
00:31:21.340
solar could run new york city for 45 minutes wow yeah like i mean like get real i mean this is not the
00:31:27.200
real world and if we keep uh restricting oil and gas to the third or the undeveloped world um they will
00:31:33.700
remain in abject poverty i mean they're they're never turning that around without oil and gas or coal
00:31:38.220
or nuclear as the reliable forms of energy so you're just saying you're going to leave them in that
00:31:42.680
condition and make us less wealthy or um less secure and more open to our enemies there this is
00:31:50.700
the world demand for oil goes up every single year as i've been saying on my show for years and years
00:31:57.820
this doesn't change for as long as population continues to grow and as long as the populations
00:32:02.020
that already exist demand a more modernized and motorized life as time goes on like in china especially
00:32:08.120
or in india which are both have more than a billion people we need more far more oil and gas and coal
00:32:14.960
and nuclear not less which is why the chinese are they have the smartest energy policy on earth okay
00:32:20.240
they're still building coal plants right the second as we speak they're still building um natural gas
00:32:25.560
anything they can do because they're not crazy they're not going to starve their people because of
00:32:30.220
these unproven or disproven um theories of existential threat from climate change they're also building
00:32:37.340
the solar panels oh sure and the windmills because just make as much money as possible through whatever
00:32:43.120
means possible is basically what they're doing especially when you monopolize the supply of the
00:32:47.660
rare earth elements that are required to build it of course you're going to promote it of course you're
00:32:51.140
going to build it and you're going to go talk the talking points because why the heck not yeah
00:32:55.620
weaken the united states if you can i mean the chinese had the best energy policy seriously and they go to
00:33:01.160
the other poor countries in south america and as we've talked about before and in africa they put
00:33:07.880
these poor countries in debt traps they say you know we'll make you an airway ethiopia or a railway
00:33:14.760
ethiopia but we want access to your natural resources and so um and then they are caught in this debt
00:33:22.720
trap and then they have access to this oil and poor countries around the world while they are also
00:33:28.800
helping convince and supply rich countries like the united states with this with these green energy
00:33:35.240
tools wow what a racket i can assure you there is no transition going on in china india russia opec
00:33:42.180
because they're too smart for that they probably created this esg stuff in the first place
00:33:46.240
in fact some of the gulf states for sure are behind some of the organizations that are pushing it out and
00:33:51.460
destroying u.s oil and gas i mean so we can either open our eyes and live in the world of the real
00:33:56.280
dealing the world of the real um or or not and so the two administrations and i'm not being
00:34:02.840
partisan i'm just telling you policy trump and biden were polar opposites yeah this is how we know
00:34:07.400
russia would never aid and abet donald trump in an election that would be suicide yeah that would be
00:34:13.020
state failure never in one million years biden's their guy burisma in ukraine the chinese oil deal that
00:34:19.440
the biden's did they're aiding and abetting foreign oil and gas and warring against our own that's what
00:34:24.640
they're doing yep absolutely man there's so much more i could ask you thank you so much for taking
00:34:30.320
the time to explain all of this you did it in very simple terms i know there's a million more things
00:34:35.200
that you could tell us we'll have to have you back on at some point to talk about just the farce that
00:34:39.780
is the whole green energy green movement um i would absolutely love that thank you so much where can
00:34:46.540
people find you just quickly so i have the jackie daly show which is here on the blaze you can find
00:34:51.060
it online um it's on iheartradio spotify itunes theblaze.com forward slash radio and on the dial
00:34:57.520
here in texas and then uh find me at jackie daly host on twitter that's jackie with no e daily as
00:35:04.960
an everyday host thank you so much jackie thank you
