WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.399 --> 00:00:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Ceiling the globe's future in terms of the climate religion

2
00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>they're pressing down upon us.

3
00:00:08.560 --> 00:00:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, right, twenty nine years in counting. You know,

4
00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:16.079
<v Speaker 2>none of the major leaders are attending this year, and

5
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker 2>it's in Baku, I know.

6
00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>And apparently the head of the leader of the country

7
00:00:22.519 --> 00:00:27.879
<v Speaker 1>views petro oil and gas as a gift from God.

8
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:32.000
<v Speaker 1>And how dare anybody tell him that he's not allowed

9
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:33.840
<v Speaker 1>to extract that and get it out to the world,

10
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.520
<v Speaker 1>a world which demands and uses these products every single

11
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>day to survive.

12
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:42.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, absolutely, And you know, Brian, I think the wheels

13
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.079
<v Speaker 2>are starting to come off of some of the more

14
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:52.560
<v Speaker 2>left leaning versions when it comes to comes to energy. Right.

15
00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:55.759
<v Speaker 1>It's just you can write Greta Thunberg.

16
00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 2>Off, Well, you know, she's going to be out there,

17
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 2>and she's going to be out there for a while,

18
00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.640
<v Speaker 2>and I suspect we'll look back on this time and go, huh,

19
00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:05.480
<v Speaker 2>we listened to a.

20
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Hysterical twelve year old.

21
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, that was actually a create.

22
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Emotionally, she's still twelve emotionally.

23
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Well in the creation of her parents and left leaning

24
00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:18.760
<v Speaker 2>organizations right as the poster child.

25
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, I've mentioned that before. I have never ever

26
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>bought into this nons I still call it nonsense that

27
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, given all the ebbs and flows of the

28
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.799
<v Speaker 1>global temperatures over the millennium, I mean, we've had the Earth.

29
00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.359
<v Speaker 1>It's just you cannot just stop and one day say

30
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:40.760
<v Speaker 1>all the other climate changes that this globe has experienced,

31
00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>just we're on their own, and then immediately say well,

32
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.400
<v Speaker 1>as of the global or after the Industrial Revolution, it's

33
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>all on us now we are responsible for every weather

34
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.000
<v Speaker 1>event that comes our way. Yeah, just nonsense. We're going

35
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>to look back on this and I hopefully laugh at ourselves.

36
00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>We have been victims of the biggest global scam. P. T.

37
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.239
<v Speaker 1>Barnum couldn't have thought this up in his wildest dream.

38
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, it is green. The only thing green about

39
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 2>it though is the money.

40
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, global wealthy distribution. This is how they characterize it.

41
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely and yeah, it is part of that sort of

42
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 2>that global elitism. And you know, quite frankly, what's been

43
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>very difficult for me to understand. And last Friday at

44
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Hudson we had an all day conversation with our friends

45
00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:32.360
<v Speaker 2>from Canada about North American energy independence and how we

46
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 2>can continue to link up on certain things, is that

47
00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 2>it is difficult for me to believe that in this

48
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.280
<v Speaker 2>day and age we would have politicians and administration that

49
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.639
<v Speaker 2>would give away unilateral disarmament of what could be our

50
00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.080
<v Speaker 2>number one strength in the country, that is our energy independence.

51
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>No question about it.

52
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 2>So today, you know, the landscape has changed a little

53
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.520
<v Speaker 2>bit post election, and I think if we look at

54
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 2>the new president, the new administration of Donald J. Trump,

55
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>we're going to see a return to a lot of

56
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:13.159
<v Speaker 2>different things. But one of those is to restore American

57
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:21.960
<v Speaker 2>energy independence and replace subjective criteria with objective criteria, meaning

58
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 2>that the president wants us to have energy that is

59
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.759
<v Speaker 2>available wherever and whenever we need it, and that it

60
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:35.560
<v Speaker 2>is more affordable than what we have seen here as

61
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:35.919
<v Speaker 2>of late.

62
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:39.840
<v Speaker 1>In other words, solutions that are good for America, regular

63
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>consistent energy supply at a price that does not put

64
00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>us into bankruptcy. Interesting concept of that.

65
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Well, it's common sense, right, and I think that.

66
00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.439
<v Speaker 1>The world we used to run on things like that.

67
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Now I know there's always been winners and losers being

68
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>chosen by elected officials. Thus it has ever been but

69
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:00.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's I don't think it's any ever been

70
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>any more egregious than in connection with this so called

71
00:04:04.960 --> 00:04:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Green New Deal type stuff.

72
00:04:07.120 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 2>You know, Brian, I don't doubt that at some point

73
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 2>in the future we will have energy. We will continue

74
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:18.879
<v Speaker 2>to have new emerging energy resources that result in fewer

75
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.879
<v Speaker 2>emissions and not just you know, we're so fixated on

76
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.800
<v Speaker 2>CO two, which is point one four of one percent

77
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 2>of the atmosphere. But you know, there are other gases,

78
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>there are pollutants, there are things out there that will

79
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:36.759
<v Speaker 2>continue to work on. But you know, the America has

80
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 2>reduced if you want to keep score, America has reduced

81
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 2>its greenhouse gas emissions and CO two greater than any

82
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 2>other industrialized country by just being smart and making some

83
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:52.360
<v Speaker 2>common sense decisions. Nuclears on the rise, We talked about

84
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 2>that a lot last last week. Even fission is on

85
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:01.600
<v Speaker 2>the horizon with with several demonstration machines coming out before

86
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 2>the end of this decade. So that energy mix is

87
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:07.560
<v Speaker 2>going to change. But there is no reason, and I

88
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>know the new president believes there is no reason to

89
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>tie your hands behind your back and jump in the

90
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:17.879
<v Speaker 2>deep end of the pool, while China says here, good gully.

91
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Another two coal places popped up this week. That's so weird.

92
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:22.079
<v Speaker 2>How did that happen.

93
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:24.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I think that I saw that sight. It

94
00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:26.040
<v Speaker 1>is one of the reasons some of the countries aren't

95
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:30.959
<v Speaker 1>attending this. The Global cop twenty nine is for that

96
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>reason alone. You know, Wait a second, why I'm over

97
00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.839
<v Speaker 1>here cutting my throat, bust to my hump, reducing my

98
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.759
<v Speaker 1>available energy. Look at Germany has almost put itself into

99
00:05:39.920 --> 00:05:44.639
<v Speaker 1>bankruptcy over this. One of the most powerful economic engines

100
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:48.959
<v Speaker 1>in the world has now been reduced to sort of ashes.

101
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And over this the zero carbon emissions crap.

102
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:56.199
<v Speaker 2>It is, and it just goes to show that great

103
00:05:56.240 --> 00:06:00.759
<v Speaker 2>countries can take a wrong turn that is literally fueled

104
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.439
<v Speaker 2>by this religion.

105
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>It is religion, it is.

106
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.199
<v Speaker 2>And you know, meanwhile, the other thing I'd love for

107
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>us to keep in mind that China wants to see

108
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.160
<v Speaker 2>us unilaterally disarm and I don't mean just the military,

109
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 2>but I mean economically. And so for example, when we

110
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>have a new pharmaceutical company try to spin up in America,

111
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 2>China dumps pharmaceuticals in the US to kill that new startup.

112
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:29.639
<v Speaker 2>This is how these people roll, and they want our

113
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 2>auto industry to go away. They want us to be

114
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.399
<v Speaker 2>dependent on them because people that are dependent are weak.

115
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, and they will create dependence because it's all ready

116
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.199
<v Speaker 1>cheaper to do business in China because they have no

117
00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>environmental rules, they have no OSHA protections, they have nothing

118
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>by way of the rules, regulations and things that we

119
00:06:49.319 --> 00:06:52.319
<v Speaker 1>in hurdles we have to jump to even stay in business. So,

120
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>of course, and by making us back ourselves or cut

121
00:06:56.199 --> 00:06:57.839
<v Speaker 1>our own throats as I like to call it, and

122
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.639
<v Speaker 1>rely on windmills and soul panels that we parenthetically have

123
00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 1>to buy from them that don't provide us an abundance

124
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>of energy. Back over to where we are with Trump

125
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.199
<v Speaker 1>going forward, We've been through the other stuff. What are

126
00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:14.879
<v Speaker 1>we going to see legitimately going forward here?

127
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Brigham, that's a great question. I think we can first

128
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 2>look at his first term energy policy, which is focused

129
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:23.600
<v Speaker 2>on achieving what he calls energy dominance, and that's prioritizing

130
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 2>domestic production, deregulation of the industry, which adds substantial cost.

131
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.000
<v Speaker 2>And we don't think about that. But all these federal regulations,

132
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and some of them, quite honestly, are pretty silly. They

133
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.560
<v Speaker 2>don't add value, but they add to the cost of

134
00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 2>everything we buy and a shipped away from these climate

135
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.680
<v Speaker 2>agreements like the Paris accord. These priorities are going to

136
00:07:43.720 --> 00:07:48.000
<v Speaker 2>be emphasized along with the energy independence, economic growth, and

137
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 2>national security. It's that simple.

138
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, including the Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserve. I'd like to

139
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:55.720
<v Speaker 1>think we might start filling that up, although I saw

140
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Biden paying lip service to doing that again after he

141
00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.600
<v Speaker 1>trained it in the name of trying to get himself elected.

142
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, it's been drained to our lowest level

143
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.240
<v Speaker 2>in decades and two. I think yes, And some people argue, well,

144
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:09.639
<v Speaker 2>we don't need it any longer because we have a

145
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 2>lot more domestic production. But you know, if something hits

146
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:17.879
<v Speaker 2>the fan, so to speak, you don't know, and you

147
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:19.800
<v Speaker 2>know you don't to drain your bank account when you

148
00:08:19.839 --> 00:08:22.959
<v Speaker 2>don't know what's around the corner, with especially how volatile

149
00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>geopolitically the world is today.

150
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Well, isn't that the point? I mean, we're all told,

151
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, federal guidelines online will tell you at least

152
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>have several days of non perishable food in your home

153
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:38.320
<v Speaker 1>just in case that's not quite enough. I don't ever

154
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:41.759
<v Speaker 1>want to use the non perishable food that I have

155
00:08:41.879 --> 00:08:44.440
<v Speaker 1>stored away for that day. I don't ever want that

156
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.559
<v Speaker 1>day to come, but there it is, just in case,

157
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:49.679
<v Speaker 1>it does, and that gives me peace of mind. That's

158
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.679
<v Speaker 1>isn't that the strategic drolling Oil Reserve.

159
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.000
<v Speaker 2>It is, and it was originally envisioned to give us

160
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:56.960
<v Speaker 2>ninety days worth of supply, and to be fair, nobody's

161
00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:01.080
<v Speaker 2>actually gotten it to ninety days because welvish million barrels

162
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 2>a day. That's a lot of oil, but less than

163
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:07.360
<v Speaker 2>a couple of weeks. That would make me nervous.

164
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>And if we go with nuclear and we have modular

165
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>nuclear reactors, one size, kind of fits all platform, those

166
00:09:14.240 --> 00:09:17.159
<v Speaker 1>can be built not for billions and billions of dollars

167
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>over a period of fifteen years of rules and regulations,

168
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.080
<v Speaker 1>they could go online rather quickly by comparison to way

169
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 1>we have to go through now. If you get rid

170
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.559
<v Speaker 1>of these ridiculous regulations.

171
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it sure does. And I think you will see,

172
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:32.159
<v Speaker 2>especially with the announcement yesterday of AVEC and Papa Elon

173
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 2>as I like to call them, the Doach team. I'm excited.

174
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:36.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited.

175
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm so happy about that. They're going to hit the

176
00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>ground running with the scissors and they're going to cut

177
00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 1>wherever they possibly can. And you know what, I don't

178
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:45.039
<v Speaker 1>think there's a man, woman, or child in America that'll

179
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.879
<v Speaker 1>even notice the loss of those government jobs, with the

180
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.519
<v Speaker 1>exception of the families of those who no longer have

181
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>jobs in government.

182
00:09:51.799 --> 00:09:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think you're absolutely right. And back in the

183
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Navy days, Brian, we call that a target rich environment.

184
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.600
<v Speaker 1>No question about it. And getting rid of the Department

185
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.799
<v Speaker 1>of Education. It really has not been around since. I mean,

186
00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>it was the Reagan it was the Reagan era, was

187
00:10:04.360 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 1>a Carter administration thing. But we live without the Department

188
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:10.159
<v Speaker 1>of Education. Up till that long in our country apparently

189
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>was able to live, thrive and survive and prosper pretty

190
00:10:12.399 --> 00:10:12.919
<v Speaker 1>damn well.

191
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:15.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And you know, while I'm not an expert over there,

192
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.759
<v Speaker 2>I can tell you that since the Department of Education

193
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:22.519
<v Speaker 2>has been around, we have only lost standing. We've only

194
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.679
<v Speaker 2>slipped in the in the world polls of highly educated people. So,

195
00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 2>you know, a lot of these cabinet agencies people think

196
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.519
<v Speaker 2>have been around, No, no, no, you know it was

197
00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 2>the Department of War, Treasury, Commerce, and not even commerce there,

198
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:41.360
<v Speaker 2>but the Coast Guard and you know things. A lot

199
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>of these agencies came into being in the sixties and seventies.

200
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:48.720
<v Speaker 2>And once you create it, even if you solve the problem,

201
00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:51.080
<v Speaker 2>they don't leave. And if you don't solve the problem,

202
00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:52.399
<v Speaker 2>they only get bigger.

203
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:54.759
<v Speaker 1>No quote. And they're not in the jobs in the

204
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:57.159
<v Speaker 1>business of solving problems. They solve a problem, they're out

205
00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.080
<v Speaker 1>of a job. That's not what they're all about. Why

206
00:10:59.080 --> 00:11:01.759
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't work anyway, brig him accown. I wish we

207
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.799
<v Speaker 1>could talk longer. Hudson Institute. And you're gonna be part

208
00:11:04.799 --> 00:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>of the administration right with energy policy?

209
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh well, we'll, we'll. There's a rumor, but.

210
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:14.279
<v Speaker 1>I that's not a no. That's not a no. I'm

211
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna take that as a definite possibility. Bringham. It's wonderful

212
00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:19.879
<v Speaker 1>to have you on the show and have access to

213
00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>your intellect when it comes to energy policy. We're doing again,

214
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>very very soon.
