00:05:55.000Seven fights, all ended in finishes, right?
00:05:59.000So no judges' decisions, anything like that.
00:06:02.000And yet, Justin Gaetje came in as a six to one underdog and as an American six to one underdog and beat Ilya Tropea in an incredible match that, again, no one thought he could possibly win.
00:06:18.000But the American winning in the last fight against all odds, I mean, it really doesn't get any better than that.
00:06:26.000I mean, you couldn't script it better.
00:06:30.000And before the conspiracy theorists started saying it was scripted, it was like, I don't know, man, if you saw Ilya's face coming out of that thing, I don't think that was scripted.
00:06:36.000No, that was a rough, rough fight, but it was amazing and it'll probably never happen again.
00:06:43.000So I think I got to see one of the most spectacular fights, most spectacular sporting events, probably in history.
00:06:52.000And it was a one and done, probably never going to happen again because I don't think, frankly, anyone will ever have the balls to do that again.
00:06:58.000You had the cage, the octagon on the lawn, the flag in the air, 13 plane F 18 flyover from the Blue Angels.
00:07:09.000By the way, the whole thing funded by the UFC because I saw all the haters and all of that nonsense.
00:07:15.000Oh, what's it costing the American taxpayers?
00:07:17.000Like, nah, that was, you know, funded by the UFC.
00:07:31.000You know, I'll talk about what it all actually means because it's bigger than just a fight, okay?
00:07:37.000Plus, big news out of Iran an MOU is signed and We'll get into what that means for you because I know everyone's concerned about that, as they should be.
00:07:49.000He's the founder and executive director of Power of the Future, a big energy conversation, what that ultimately means for prices back home.
00:08:18.000We just got to get it out there, okay?

00:10:19.000Gentlemen, at this time, please rise as today's colors are presented by the Joint Armed Forces Color Guard from the Military District of Washington.
00:11:19.000past presidents, the people running this country acted embarrassed by stuff like this, right?
00:11:22.000They're embarrassed by the flag, embarrassed by the fans, embarrassed by the sports normal people actually watch, and the towns they actually live in.
00:11:31.000They treated patriotism like it was something you apologize for at a dinner party.
00:11:35.000But now you have a president who looked at the 250th birthday of the United States and said, you know what?
00:11:42.000Let's make it loud, let's make it proud, let's make it fun, let's put it on the front lawn, and let's invite the whole country to watch.
00:11:51.000Here's some more from the events last night.
00:12:05.000I can assure you, as cool as that looked in person, it was so much better.
00:12:10.000Like I said earlier, I've been blessed to go to some incredible sporting events.
00:12:17.000There is nothing like this, nor will there ever be again.
00:12:20.000But look, guys, the regime media, they absolutely lost it this week.
00:12:25.000They don't hate that it's a big event, they hate that it's popular, right?
00:12:29.000They hate that it's the UFC, they hate that it's American, they hate that it's not some Pride Month fest, and they really hate it.
00:12:38.000That the guy throwing the party clearly loves the country instead of resenting it.
00:12:43.000The fighters, the fans, the leagues, the people in the stands, that whole world used to be told to shut up and stay out of politics.
00:12:51.000And last night, they got to watch their country throw itself a birthday party with a cage in the middle of it and a crowd that was not apologizing for a single second of it.
00:13:03.000It was a celebration of strength and gratitude at the same time.
00:13:07.000The other side has never understood that you can actually do both.
00:13:13.000A country that, for the first time in a long time, actually seems to like itself.
00:13:19.000And that swagger isn't just for the cameras, because while everyone was watching the cage on the lawn, my father quietly went and did his thing in Washington.
00:13:28.000The thing that Washington, frankly, spent 40 years swearing could not be done.
00:13:32.000While the left was complaining about the fight on the lawn, forgetting that last time they had big events on the lawn, it was like trainies showing their breasts.
00:13:43.000In public, and they said how brave and wonderful that was.
00:14:02.000No one believes it and no one's seeing it.
00:14:04.000But while they're complaining, my father was actually getting stuff done.
00:14:08.000For my entire adult life, every president treated Iran like the weather, something you Complain about, you manage, you hand off to the next guy, nothing really gets solved, nothing ever gets done.
00:15:08.000Iran commits on paper to no nuclear weapon.
00:15:11.000The international inspectors are back in, and that pile of highly enriched material gets.
00:15:17.000Neutralized under the supervision, so it can't be the fast lane to a bomb anymore.
00:15:24.000And here's the part that matters most to me we ended the fighting on America's terms on every front.
00:15:30.000No endless occupation, no nation building, no babysitting.
00:15:35.000American strength used to actually solve the problem.
00:15:39.000Check out what JD Vance had to say on it on CNN today.0.98
00:15:42.000This fundamentally set up a structure whereby if the Iranians behave like a normal country, then we want to treat Them like a normal country and welcome them into the world economy.
00:15:51.000What paragraph one of the agreement says is effectively that Iran commits itself, just as the United States commits itself, to regional peace and stability.
00:15:59.000And part of that, Jake, is that the Iranians have to stop funding violent terrorist organizations.
00:16:04.000They have to stop funding regional instability.
00:16:07.000But the important thing about this agreement, Jake, is that everything from what Iran gives us on the nuclear program, and of course, that's the most important thing is the commitment verifiable to never building a nuclear weapon.
00:16:18.000All of these things come along with benefits if Iran delivers and nothing if Iran doesn't deliver.
00:16:24.000So we certainly expect that as part of our broader agreement, Jake, Iran is going to stop funding terrorist organizations.
00:16:31.000Most importantly, they're going to have a verifiable commitment to not building a nuclear weapon.
00:16:35.000But the good thing about the way that we've set this up is that we have the leverage here.
00:16:39.000We have the ability to welcome them into the world economy if they perform.
00:16:44.000We also have the ability to say, you know what, you don't get anything if you don't meet your end of the obligation.
00:16:50.000And guys, you're going to feel this one personally.
00:16:52.000The Straits of Hormuz, the choke point that moves a fifth of the world's oil, is reopening.0.57
00:16:58.000And here's how my father built it Iran does the cleanup, Iran clears its own mines, and it runs step for step.0.82
00:17:07.000As Iran reopens that lane, we ease off the proportions.0.71
00:18:05.000An investment is very different than paying someone off.
00:18:08.000So don't believe everything that you read online because I've watched both.
00:18:12.000Frankly, I've seen more of it from the neocons and the Republican warmongers that would love to be mired in a war for 30 years, and some of the other countries that would love us in a prolonged battle with Iran for the next 30 years.
00:18:26.000Those talking points are very different than the reality, but I'm sure you guys have figured a lot of that stuff out.
00:18:40.000Obama negotiated with their whole program intact and paid them to leave it sitting there, which is exactly what.
00:18:46.000Why they could sprint for a bomb the second it fell apart.0.83
00:18:50.000My father tore the program down first, got it in writing, brought our Gulf partners in instead of going behind their backs, and built it right on the foundation of the Abraham Accords.0.51
00:19:03.000And speaking of fights that are being settled, down in Venezuela, we're working diligently with Delcy Rodriguez's government.0.72
00:19:11.000The U.S. government is doing that to take out narco terrorist Trendel Aragua leaders.
00:19:35.000That right there is Neo Guerrero, or I guess I should say was Neo Guerrero.
00:19:41.000The man who turned a Venezuelan prison gang, Trendel Araga, into a transactional and transitional army that spread out of Venezuela, across Latin America, into American cities, and all the way to Spain.
00:19:55.000The monsters who preyed on people like 12 year old Jocelyn Nungare and 22 year old Lake and Riley.
00:21:13.000During the last administration, they had open borders.
00:21:15.000They let terrorists flood this country that were still arresting every single day.
00:21:19.000And by the way, the agency that was arresting them, ICE and CBP, they made sure they defunded them for 114 days and all the Department of Homeland Security for 76 days.
00:21:31.000And so they can have all the rhetoric.
00:21:33.000Jeffries can say everything he wants to say.
00:21:40.000We know they're about defunding the police and they're more.
00:21:43.000Interested, Shannon, in protecting criminals and illegals on our streets than they are about actually protecting law abiding citizens and their constituents.
00:21:52.000Guys, that's the whole fight in one sentence.
00:21:55.000One side wanted to fund the people who arrest violent criminals.
00:21:59.000The other side spent 115 days, remember the shutdown, trying to defund them.
00:22:06.000And now wants you to forget that it ever happened.
00:22:32.000This weekend, the Interior Department put out the results of a review that most people missed.
00:22:38.000They went through roughly 2,000 groups that were getting federal money under Joe Biden, the so called nonprofits.
00:22:48.000And what they found is that a bunch of these outfits were getting basically all, all of their revenue from the taxpayer, 100% of it.
00:22:57.000Then turning around and paying their executives $450,000 a year to push ESG, DEI, climate activism, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, with your money.
00:23:16.000The work that we started last year, right after we stepped in at the beginning of President Trump's administration.
00:23:22.000What we were left, like virtually every cabinet agency, was a complete mess from the Biden administration.
00:23:28.000And of course, even from the time that President Trump was elected to the time that Joe Biden had his last day in office, there were record amounts of grants flowing out the door.
00:23:59.000They had People working for them were getting paid more than anybody inside the Department of Interior.
00:24:03.000And then they would do things like lobby us for more grants, or in many cases, they would hire lawyers to sue us to stop the administration's priorities.
00:24:12.000So this continuation, this year we just completed a very extensive review, looked at 2,000 organizations which had 3,000 agreements.
00:24:21.000And if they were using funds coming from this administration against us or against the priorities of the administration, we've cut ties with them.
00:24:30.000And because they were doing everything from climate extremism to DEI, ESG, you name it.
00:24:55.000The government takes your tax dollars, runs them through a nonprofit.
00:25:00.000With a nice green logo, the nonprofit pays an activist class a fortune, and the activist class spends it lobbying for the exact policies that make your life more expensive.
00:25:12.000You pay in, they cash out, and the planet is exactly where it was.
00:25:17.000No benefit, other than I guess they get to exercise their political will more effectively with billions of your taxpayer dollars.
00:25:24.000And up in New York, you've got a governor in Kathy Hochul presiding over some of the highest energy bills in the country.
00:25:31.000And the answer from that crowd is always the same more mandates, more green programs, and somehow it's never their fault, right?
00:25:42.000There are realistic things she could do tomorrow to bring these bills down, but she won't because the activist class I just described won't let her.
00:25:51.000And here to explain that, and frankly, probably a lot more, is Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of Power the Future.
00:26:46.000Oil markets know that $100 a barrel oil was unsustainable, but they have jitters.
00:26:51.000And the jitters weren't being resolved until the situation is resolved.
00:26:55.000You know, if it stays at this price for the next couple of days and there's no reason why it won't, you'll see gas prices drop by next Monday and drop significantly.
00:27:05.000I mean, I'm talking 35, 40 cents a gallon over the next couple of days.
00:27:09.000And therefore, you know, we'll continue in that direction.
00:27:12.000If you recall, and the audience recalls, you know, when the president was inaugurated on the 20th of January back in 2025, it was within a couple of weeks that we saw oil hit $65 a barrel, that gas was under $3 a barrel.
00:27:26.000So much so that at the first address to Congress, right, it couldn't be called a State of the Union, it was the joint address to Congress.
00:27:33.000The president was bragging about it, and rightfully so, because markets responded to a positive outlook.
00:27:40.000So there's a positive outlook right now, and it will trickle down into the economy.
00:27:44.000And it's great that we have finally gotten to this point.
00:27:55.000It's like, well, you know, we all said we don't want to be on a never ending thing.
00:27:58.000We want to get this thing done and resolved.
00:27:59.000There's, you know, to anything, frankly, there's always some short term pain.
00:28:05.000But I mean, that can be a really significant thing.
00:28:08.000And then, you know, if you're only talking about 45 cents over the next couple of weeks, imagine what could happen over the next couple of months.
00:28:42.000Every time you're getting pat down, every time you're taking off your shoes, every time a woman is stopped and they have to search her handbag, if you take the subway in New York City, That's all threats of terrorism.0.97
00:28:53.000All of that's funded by Iran, right?0.91
00:28:55.000Every time there's an IED thrown into a crowd, like there were two in New York City a couple of months ago, right?0.94
00:29:03.000So when they say, like, we're paying a lot, we've paid a lot for this.0.98
00:29:07.000And to have it removed, hopefully forever from the world stage, from your livelihood, it would be nice to think we could get to a point that we don't have to inspect each other because we're worried of terrorist threats.
00:29:19.000The terrorist threats are eliminated, like the drug cartels are being eliminated.
00:29:24.000I think that's a resolution the American people want.
00:29:28.000And, you know, I never even thought of it that way.
00:29:30.000I mean, there are other costs to not actually dealing with this that you don't necessarily think about in your day to day life, but it's huge.0.71
00:29:36.000And then you compound that with, you know, the thousands of American veterans that were killed or wounded by Iranian funded IED attacks, the way they were able to prolong the Iraq and Afghan war by funding the terrorist groups that did that.0.71
00:30:13.000And when you compare or add to that what we've done in Venezuela, when you add to that American production increases, opening up Alaska, opening up the outer continental shelf, opening up and expanding the Gulf of America, right?
00:30:26.000America now controls the world's oil and gas supply.
00:30:42.000But if you think we are the good guys in this battle, then we're controlling the world's oil and gas supply.
00:30:48.000And that means America and American interests will decide what countries use it and for what purpose.0.82
00:30:54.000And you know, maybe the communist Chinese don't have a ready supply of oil and gas because Venezuela and Iran aren't sending it to them.0.84
00:31:01.000Maybe the Ayatollahs never emerge again, rich and powerful.0.59
00:31:05.000These are all really good things if you genuinely believe in world peace and world stability.0.74
00:31:10.000And the funny thing is, in this whole conversation, you know, Democrats are going to do what they do.
00:31:19.000But deep down inside, they're all thrilled because they want to get to a presidential debate in the future where they aren't asked about, you know, if you were elected president, how would you handle a threat from Morant?
00:31:30.000There is no more threat from Morant, right?
00:34:20.000And if you don't know what you're doing and Democrats don't, You are an interloper.
00:34:26.000You stick your nose in and you meddle and you muck everything up.
00:34:29.000And the Biden administration mucked everything up.
00:34:32.000So it's going to take years to undo what he could do in a matter of hours, right?
00:34:38.000Every time you deny quarterly land leases and Deb Holland denied them regularly, you're pushing into the future proper drilling production schedules.
00:34:49.000Yeah, or canceling things like the Keystone Pipeline, right?
00:36:39.000You only see, you know, the one component of it, but, you know, that was tens of thousands of hardworking, you know, American jobs just gone.
00:37:10.000Deep dislike for the federal government, most of us do, but but there is a proper role for this.
00:37:15.000But now, if your government's going to be weaponized against well, weaponized against people, as you know better than most, but also weaponized against industries, right?
00:37:24.000How are we supposed to function if and and this is what Democrats' wheels are turning, right?
00:37:30.000You see, Democrats say if I'm elected, I'm going to blow up that ballroom.0.71
00:37:34.000What the hell does that even mean?0.99
00:37:36.000Like, you would knock down the ballroom just out of spite, and we know it's a lot of crap, they're not going to, but but they campaign on this, so.0.98
00:37:45.000Industry is petrified about the future if this is the way government's going to treat them.0.91
00:37:51.000You always think about sort of the Democrats and regulatory overreach and red tape making things difficult.
00:37:57.000But this is actually worse because it impacts future investment.
00:38:00.000It's not just the time it takes to get something done, saying, fine, it may take me a little bit longer.
00:38:04.000This is the, hey, I could go through all of that, get it done, be in process, and then just have it shut down, which is a thousand times worse than just dealing with the bureaucratic rigmarole that they probably have to deal with all the time.
00:39:00.000And this is where we need a Congress that actually tries to fix things.
00:39:03.000There's a great piece of legislation that's introduced by Representative Hageman in the House and Senator Ted Cruz in the Senate to sort of combat this, to say you can't have these third party groups, right?
00:39:14.000I can't sue Bill to sue Don Jr., right?
00:39:17.000If you want to sue Don Jr., you have to, right?
00:39:21.000You can't start funding groups to do your dirty work for you.
00:39:24.000And there's a lot of nonprofit abuse, especially when it comes to big bad oil, right?
00:39:30.000So you find these, and a lot of it is Chinese funded, a lot of it is Russian funded.
00:39:35.000You find these third party groups that are engaged in this abuse of our judicial system, and it has to stop.
00:39:41.000So, Daniel, I mean, we talk about corporate stuff all the time, but you've spent years standing up for the guys who actually produce the energy the oil and gas workers, the coal guys, the people in those rural towns that the Democrats have forgotten all about it.
00:39:57.000When the greed movement was at its peak under Obama Biden, what happened to those workers?
00:40:03.000And what do you want people in the cities to understand about them?
00:40:07.000Because it's so easy to be negative on this.
00:40:11.000You've seen how they've done that so effectively.
00:40:13.000But talk about that and why this matters more than ever.
00:40:28.000York and San Francisco decided we were going to shut down coal and they successfully did that again through these third party groups.
00:40:35.000And they went into these rural towns all across America and shut down the one source of income for these folks and left them destitute, right?
00:40:44.000There's no other industry wasn't moving there for 10, 15 years, right?
00:40:57.000Because opioids are really cheap and they punch really hard.
00:41:00.000And if you're a 40 year old guy and You were a coal miner and your dad and your brothers, and everyone in town is a coal miner, but there is no coal to mine.0.98
00:41:08.000Bruce Springsteen used to sing songs about this crap, but he's become one of the bad guys now.0.94
00:41:19.000And we've done this all across rural America.0.76
00:41:21.000If you remember the great and really sad speech that Joe Burroughs gave when he got the Heisman Trophy win, and he talked about growing up in poor Southeast Ohio, his whole life, all he saw were coal towns.
00:41:34.000Close coal mine the whole Obama year, the all the Obama years, coal mine after coal mine.
00:41:39.000Joe Burroughs didn't grow up in a poor town, he grew up in a town that was allowed by bad government policies to become poor.
00:41:47.000And then we, you know, we told these people, We're gonna job train you, we'll give you a job in the green economy.0.98
00:41:53.000Remember the balls of John Kerry to say on day one after Keystone, Well, now they have the option to work in the green economy, right?0.99
00:42:00.000That's that's the disdain they have for those folks, and you know what those folks love.
00:42:05.000They love UFC, and that's why they hate it last night, also, because these are the things that resonate with regular America, and they hate these people with every fiber of their being.
00:42:15.000It's the huge disconnect between the elite, which isn't just wealth disconnect.
00:42:21.000Donald Trump's pretty darn rich, and he connects with these folks.
00:42:24.000There's an intellectual, a patriotic, and emotional disconnect that we're experiencing as a country.
00:42:31.000And these people have so much power to lord over the rest of us, and it's doing great damage to us as a nation.
00:42:39.000You mentioned it a little bit earlier, but let's talk permitting because I think people hear that word and they just kind of tune it out, and that's exactly what Washington wants.
00:42:48.000In plain English terms, what does permitting reform actually mean?
00:42:53.000And why is it so hard to build anything, especially in places like New York and California?
00:42:57.000I always bring it back to the example most people know, which is try to build a deck off your kitchen, right?
00:43:06.000And you go to some office and you submit the architect's plans and they call you back three months later because you filled out this form wrong.
00:43:14.000And you're like, I just want to build a shed, right?
00:43:18.000To imagine this now, this is frustrating for you as a person and as a homeowner, and you think this is absurd.
00:43:24.000Imagine this for multi trillion dollar industries where you're trying to build a pipeline from West Virginia into Virginia to bring natural gas.
00:43:33.000The Mountain Valley pipeline took nine years to permit, right?
00:43:37.000Nine years just to get the approval, let alone the four years it will take to build it.
00:43:42.000If you as a company are expected to think 15 years into the future, how the hell do you fill out the permits now?
00:43:49.000By the time I got the permit, The pipeline was the wrong size because that many more people had moved to the area.
00:44:04.000There is a role for government to make sure things are being done well.
00:44:08.000But whether you want to build a hotel in downtown Manhattan or you want to build a pipeline across three states, if the government can't get its act together quickly, then what happens is nothing.
00:45:05.000You could just turn the nuclear plant back on.
00:45:08.000There was another nuclear plant, and I apologize, I can't remember the name of it just now, that was in the middle of construction, that he halted the construction of it.
00:45:21.000Reopening up the coal plants is almost impossible in New York because these are vicious, vicious people, and they didn't just shut down the coal plant, they imploded them.
00:45:31.000So it will be almost for that reason, so that you will never build a coal plant again.
00:45:36.000It will be hard for New York to build a coal plant.
00:45:39.000But, you know, the president signed an executive order with an emergency declaration.
00:45:43.000And if you are a New Yorker and you are paying four times the national average for electricity, which a lot of New Yorkers are, I would say that's an emergency.
00:45:52.000I would say that, especially considering that New York City is dying and losing to places like Miami and Dallas, whole industries, whole hedge funds are saying, I'm getting the hell out of here.
00:46:19.000I am going to save the people of New York from the emergency of high energy the way I save the people of New York from the emergency of cartels and criminal illegals, right?
00:46:31.000I don't need your permission to save the people of New York.
00:46:51.000You go there, you know, the trucks with Pennsylvania plates, they're newer, they're cleaner, they're not, because there's been wealth created by these things, by these industries.
00:47:01.000Like they're actually making money and they're lowering their energy prices.
00:47:05.000You go across this thing in New York, they can't do it.
00:47:07.000They can't, it's literally all part of the same shale platform, right?
00:47:11.000But because you can't do it, You know, those towns are suffering and they're dying in many cases.
00:47:17.000And it's such a shame to see there's no difference in the people.
00:47:19.000They live in some cases a few hundred yards apart.
00:47:23.000But there's such a drastic difference and no one sees it.
00:47:28.000And that's the sadness of that part of New York and the sadness a lot of these red states that have really blue large cities that throw them off.
00:47:37.000Because New York actually is a red state and you know that.
00:47:40.000But when you're running for office, you campaign in Manhattan and that's it.
00:47:44.000And if you win Manhattan and Nassau, you win the rest.
00:47:47.000And actually, Nassau is getting pretty red.
00:47:55.000You may throw them a bone every now and then, but you don't care about them.
00:48:00.000And there are so few people in that part of the state because it is dying that she'll just allow them to be necessary casualties because the liberals in Manhattan, who don't care if they're paying four times the national average, they're the ones who are calling the shots.
00:48:16.000That disdain that we start having for rural America.1.00
00:48:20.000Yeah, no, it's funny you say that because it's 100% accurate.1.00
00:48:22.000I mean, you basically break north of Westchester County and it's a red state.0.60
00:48:28.000It may not be in the population, but 85% of the land mass is probably a red state and the rest is the lunatics in New York.0.57
00:48:35.000But yeah, you don't have to cater to the rest if those numbers work.0.86
00:48:38.000It's almost like how did that state stay together when such a huge portion of it is just totally neglected for the whims and wants of people who.0.95
00:48:48.000Couldn't fathom what's going on because they live in a big city and they're leftist lunatics.
00:48:53.000And that's why getting the illegal population out of the big cities is so important because in the next census in 2030, all of that appropriation will be done by population.
00:49:03.000Sadly, we count illegals in our census.0.58
00:49:07.000And New York City will not be as powerful when there are 200,000 fewer illegals, which is why they're fighting tooth and nail.
00:49:16.000You talked about the shutdown, why they are fighting tooth and nail to keep the illegals there.0.85
00:49:20.000Again, and they're useless pawns also.0.95
00:49:25.000They need bodies, whether it's poor American bodies who are dying of fentanyl or poor illegal bodies who are dying from their own criminal gangs.
00:49:34.000They're just bodies for necessary numbers games for Democrats.
00:49:37.000That's the way they see people, unfortunately.
00:49:49.000And wasn't Al Gore just recently talking about global cooling?
00:49:53.000I mean, I know we've talked about some of these politicians, but I guess.
00:49:57.000I guess the new grift is the fear of global cooling after running a multi billion dollar fund, after creating the global warming problem while being a politician, then creating a fund to solve all this non existent problem.
00:50:11.000Because I think you'd probably know better than me, but I think the average temperature increase over the last 75 years was something like 0.2, not 2 degrees, 0.2 degrees, which I would say is probably not a statistically significant number to actually show any real change, especially when you look at it over a cycle of an ice age.
00:50:34.000So when I argue with people who say, you know, since 1850, the global temperature has gone up one degree Celsius, and I'll say, okay, maybe it has.
00:50:41.000I would love to see numbers and I can disprove that anyway, but I'll just embrace your argument for argument's sake.
00:50:48.000But that didn't happen in a vacuum because what else happened since 1850 and the great oil boom and the fossil fuel boom, right?
00:50:55.000We've moved the majority of people out of poverty and literacy rates have gone through the roof and child mortality rates have dropped precipitously and we're healthier and we're clean.
00:51:05.000So much healthier now and so much more abundant that the biggest problem plaguing our poor is obesity.
00:51:10.000I mean, and that's laughable and tragic at the same time, right?
00:51:14.000So, when you say the one degree Celsius or four inches of increased ocean volume, I'll say, okay, but a lot of other things happened.
00:51:23.000And I don't think anyone is going to go back to cloth diapers with explosive diarrhea children for the sake of four inches or one degree Celsius.
00:51:34.000They're not going to go back to freezing temperatures and miserable heat and not having the convenience of Uber Eats.
00:52:21.000We'll give you the one degree Celsius over 175 years, but like, you know, okay, a lot of other stuff's happened that's actually allowed humanity to prosper in that amount of time.
00:52:33.000And you can't just look at it in a vacuum.
00:52:41.000And all of the people who have predicted the demise of humanity, whether it's, you know, Paul Ehrlich and all the, we're going to die of any day, or whether the climate doomsday, none of it has ever come true.
00:53:15.000And humanity is better off when we are free and prosperous.
00:53:18.000I only care about fossil fuels because they are the best tools right now to make us free and prosperous.
00:53:25.000If you discover something better tomorrow, I will jump on that bandwagon, but all I care about is freedom and prosperity for people, and fossil fuels are the best vehicle to deliver that right now.
00:53:37.000Candidly, I think if the left actually believed their own arguments, they probably wouldn't buy homes on Martha's Vineyard, on islands two feet above sea level.
00:53:46.000I mean, if it is so doom and gloom, all these rich guys, John Kerry, Al Gore, I'm sure they all have their weekend homes on the islands.
00:53:55.000And if they were all that worried, they probably aren't going to sink tens of billions for their homes, which is what they're cost.
00:54:02.000In a place that's going to be underwater in a couple of years.
00:54:04.000That probably wouldn't, if they were true believers, I don't think they'd go for that.
00:54:07.000We could always play the what about isms, what if they had, what if we had games, and we'll never get answers.
00:54:14.000But when Bernie Sanders was taking private jets to his Stop Oligarchy climate change tours, I thought there's no better example of what a load of BS all of this is.
00:54:25.000If we ever did something so blatantly hypocritical, we would get raked over the coals.0.96
00:54:31.000But if you're the left, you can have a Nazi tattoo and a sexual.0.95
00:54:35.000Child platform profile, and you can fly a private jet to the Stop Oligarchy tour, or you can be whiter than both of us and claim to be a Native American, and they always get a pass.
00:54:47.000It's the old, I used to have great hair, but it's what drove it all out.0.63
00:54:51.000It's the ultimate frustration of this job, but it's part of it.
00:54:55.000Yeah, let's go to China for a second because I think this is the part that most people perhaps don't see.
00:55:01.000They're building coal, nuclear, the battery supply chains, all of it.
00:55:06.000While we argue with leftists over the Green News scam, how far behind are we really, especially perhaps on batteries and the grid?0.54
00:55:15.000And how do we catch up without just handing the whole thing over to Beijing, right?
00:55:18.000Because if we don't have energy, we can never compete in AI.
00:55:20.000If we don't compete in AI, all these things that require a lot of compute and ultimately energy, you can't maintain the hegemony that we've had for 200 years as a nation.
00:55:56.000China does not, and they get away with it.
00:55:58.000And they get away with it because they're China, because they fund most of these climate groups, quite frankly, who sue America to stop using coal.
00:56:05.000It's a brilliant model that they have exploited.0.93
00:56:08.000Our nonprofit laws, our judicial system for their advantage.0.93
00:56:12.000I wish we took our grid as seriously as China takes theirs.
00:56:17.000And quite frankly, all of Western Europe should wish the exact same thing.0.97
00:56:21.000China does not build wind and solar, they make the crap and sell it to countries stupid enough to buy it, but they make crappy wind and solar in coal plants because coal works.0.94
00:56:32.000Regardless of the temperature, regardless of the sun, coal always works.0.98
00:56:36.000And they are building coal plants quickly.
00:56:39.000Because they want an economy that works.
00:56:41.000So we have tremendous coal reserves and we burn it so responsibly that I wish we could have coal plants in every backyard.
00:57:13.000It's only the last six or seven years, starting with really the end of the Obama administration and all of Biden, that we've mucked it up so terribly.
00:57:22.000And again, I wish we could be as serious as China is when it comes to reliable, affordable, abundant energy for the good of the economy and for industry.
00:57:33.000Daniel, if you're advising on what an America First energy agenda should actually deliver and spotlight, what are the two or three things that basically have to happen?
00:57:43.000And how fast could people's bills actually go down if we enacted those things?
00:57:50.000Increase of electricity production is the most important thing.
00:57:53.000The president stopped all of the closures of coal plants.
00:57:57.000That was very important and obviously key.
00:58:01.000But some of them are still slated to close.
00:58:03.000There are coal plants in Florida that are still slated to close in 2032, 2036, et cetera.
00:58:09.000So people are planning to phase them out because we're going to go green, et cetera.
00:58:15.000And I think since it's in the future, people aren't paying it much mind.
00:58:19.000Rebuilding, especially natural gas plants as quickly as possible, I think is absolutely essential.
00:58:25.000Expansion of nuclear, again, everything to bring down the cost of electricity.
00:58:29.000Electricity is just one component, though, because the things that we use, those products, are all made from oil and gas and coal, and nothing will replace that.
00:58:38.000You can put all the wind turbines you want or solar panels, they stink, but you can put them everywhere, but they will never make plastic.
00:59:20.000It's a big feat, but it is imminently doable.
00:59:23.000We should be building data centers in the Permian Basin because gas is under a buck per cubic meter because it is so plentiful, it's cheaper to flare it.
