00:00:00.140Welcome to Monday. You owe it to your dog to take the best care of them and make sure that they have all the vitamins and minerals and probiotics and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:04:14.940That forlorn little non-holiday that some years sandwiches itself between Easter and Passover.
00:04:23.840Or other years trails in the wake of those real holidays.
00:04:28.120If the Super Bowl is America's unofficial national day of celebration, Earth Day is the collective yawn that brings a shrug.
00:04:38.580No recipes offer Earth Day chips and dips to serve for friends and beloved as they gather in celebration of the miracle of this living planet.
00:04:49.520For the two of us environmentalists, we find the ill-defined nature of the only day honoring the place that makes life itself possible more than just a little sacrilegious.
00:05:10.960So, on this 53rd Earth Day, we thought it useful to pose a question.
00:05:17.120What a real Earth Day should represent, and how it could form a central time for a new approach to worship.
00:07:23.420We could reframe these holidays as days of thanks for what the natural world gives and reminders that our responsibility for what remains is an ongoing covenant.
00:07:34.860Next, we might look at, I can't take the Gregorian chant anymore, I can't do it.
00:07:41.100Next, we might look into what religions do to help form a community and mark life's important benchmarks.
00:07:48.320They go on and on and on and get to the final point of, we might just need a book.
00:07:55.440The Jewish Torah wraps around the year nicely from one year to the next.
00:08:01.360First, when we complete the annual reading of the last story and then we start all over again in the same service, creating the feeling of a hermetic year.
00:08:12.780What if there was a book that existed like that for the earth?
00:08:20.900What if it were replete with hymns to this world of the living?
00:08:26.600What if it contained the stories of the prophets like Darwin, Carson, Galileo, Humboldt?
00:08:36.000What if we came to mark those discoveries as a gradual opening of consciousness to the laws of nature?
00:08:43.880What if our, quote, Bible of the natural world reinforced what a multiplicity of processes and phenomena still remain to be discovered?
00:08:55.760What if that book was used not to scold our children into following commandments, but rather light a path towards that encouraged discovery and reverence?
00:10:51.440There is this really cool thing that is commemorating the, uh, 1610 landing in Jamestown.
00:10:58.460And the first thing they did, not in Jamestown, uh, but up a bit, uh, was, um, was build across and plant across and declare and make a covenant to God that this was a coveted land.
00:11:15.020And this is something that we wanted to do several years ago and then COVID hit and, uh, never did it.
00:16:14.680We're going to get into this a little bit later.
00:16:17.540But I find it interesting that 60 Minutes, of all places, is holding this guy up who clearly, he said, was a very big Trump supporter at the beginning.

00:37:54.900But I'm telling you, this is the beginning of pushback.
00:37:58.260I think America has had it up to here.
00:38:01.700And if these people aren't careful, I mean, you know, because they're, how dare them think that we shouldn't be able to do that in public with children?
01:07:35.820I have to tell you, if you look at the headlines of the day and you look at all of the things that are happening with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, the fact that he just gave more money, billions, billions to China.
01:07:55.280We just so they could help on, you know, we could help them with their, their, you know, global warming crusade.
01:09:05.060I am tired of exposing corruption, doing our homework, find it, going overseas and having documents translated to make sure they're exactly right.
01:09:17.920Presenting the evidence, we know what's happening, except then once we expose it, nothing happens.
01:20:58.600Imagine for just a fraction of a second that the next time you go and buy or sell a house, you get a real estate agent that not only knows what he or she are doing, but goes above and beyond all your expectations.
01:21:11.180Imagine feeling like the whole process is easier because you're working with somebody whose philosophy is you should do the right thing because it's the right thing to do.
01:21:19.880Someone who not only knows the ins and outs of a real estate game, but who wants to make things better and what to avoid as well.
01:21:28.360A person that is pulling for you, wants you to succeed in getting the best offer for your home or the best home for your offer.

01:22:42.080Justice Samuel Alito said there were legitimate doubts that the Biden administration would have followed a court decision that went the other way.
01:22:51.100Here, the government has not dispelled legitimate doubts that it would even obey an unfavorable order in these cases, much less that it would choose to take enforcement actions in which it has strong objections.
01:23:22.780Like, we just came up, there's this big story out over the weekend for Earth Day that the Biden administration is going to regulate power plants with executive power.
01:28:02.380Do you remember when we had that big debate in Congress and we were talking about should we send the Chinese a billion dollars to help the United Nations Green Climate Fund?
01:51:45.060Listen to this from George Soros in 2009.
01:51:48.840In the United States, how worried are you about the budget deficit?
01:51:52.680And, maybe about the possibility of inflation?
01:51:54.580Well, certainly, a decline in the value of the dollar is necessary in order to compensate for the fact that the U.S. economy will remain rather weak.
01:52:14.580It will be a drag on the global economy.
01:52:17.960And, of course, it's a smaller motor because the Chinese economy is much smaller.
01:52:31.040So, the world economy will have less of a motor.
01:52:34.860So, it will move forward slower than it has in the last 25 years.
01:52:41.280But, China will be the engine driving it forward.
01:52:47.720And, the U.S. will be actually a drag that's being pulled along through a gradual decline in the value of the dollar.
