1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,400 S1: Hi friends, this is Janet Parshall. Thanks so much for 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:05,160 S1: downloading this podcast, and I hope you hear something that 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,560 S1: will really encourage and edify you. But before you start 4 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,400 S1: to listen, let me take a moment of your time 5 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,399 S1: and tell you about this month's truth tool. It's called 6 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,640 S1: secure How to Have a Healthy Attachment to God. And 7 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,360 S1: it follows that very often, whatever our relationship is like 8 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,000 S1: with authority figures, predominantly our parents, we somehow transferred to 9 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,000 S1: how we see God. So if we have an angry parent, 10 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,319 S1: he's an angry God. If it's a distant parent, he's 11 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,520 S1: a God who's not there. I think it's important we 12 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,680 S1: understand who God really is. And in this wonderful book 13 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,760 S1: called secure, you're going to discover the character of God 14 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,120 S1: and how deeply in love God is with you. It's 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,839 S1: our truth tool. Our truth tools are my way of 16 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,680 S1: saying thank you because we are listener supported radio.

The president won a pledge. 40 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:45,150 S4: Americans worshiping government over God. 41 00:01:45,470 --> 00:01:48,870 S3: Extremely rare safety move by a major 17 years. 42 00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:50,990 S4: The Palestinians and Israelis negotiated. 43 00:01:52,230 --> 00:02:07,020 S3: Is not indicative. Hi friends. 44 00:02:07,020 --> 00:02:09,260 S1: Welcome to In the Market with Janet partial. A very 45 00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:11,940 S1: happy Tuesday to you. Thank you so much for choosing 46 00:02:11,980 --> 00:02:15,060 S1: to spend the hour with us. And yes, we are 47 00:02:15,060 --> 00:02:16,980 S1: barely into the month of February, so I think it 48 00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:18,660 S1: would be great if I told you about this month's 49 00:02:18,660 --> 00:02:21,900 S1: truth tool. It's called secure How to Have a Healthy 50 00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,739 S1: Attachment to God. It's written by a friend, Kenza Haddock. 51 00:02:24,740 --> 00:02:27,780 S1: She's a guest on this program several times, a licensed 52 00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:31,299 S1: professional counselor, and she's written this wonderful book because she 53 00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:34,260 S1: understands that a whole lot of people struggle with feeling 54 00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:37,980 S1: close to God, or they wonder if you've even ever 55 00:02:37,980 --> 00:02:40,260 S1: known him at all. And so she wrote the book 56 00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:43,019 S1: because she wants you to know you are not alone. 57 00:02:43,020 --> 00:02:46,300 S1: Many people have a difficult time connecting with God. When 58 00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:49,980 S1: we're young, it's not uncommon to experience unhealthy relationships with 59 00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:53,660 S1: our caregivers that can negatively affect how we view God. 60 00:02:53,940 --> 00:02:55,860 S1: So the good news is, and this is what Kenza 61 00:02:56,130 --> 00:02:59,609 S1: Kensi writes about. And it's also why I chose secure 62 00:02:59,850 --> 00:03:02,050 S1: as this month's truth tool is. You don't have to 63 00:03:02,090 --> 00:03:06,210 S1: stay stuck there. In this wonderfully powerful small book, you'll 64 00:03:06,210 --> 00:03:08,570 S1: discover how to counter the lies that you learned early 65 00:03:08,570 --> 00:03:12,209 S1: in life with important truths about God's character. So if 66 00:03:12,210 --> 00:03:15,770 S1: you want that intimate, close relationship with God, but something 67 00:03:15,770 --> 00:03:19,609 S1: just keeps making you step back, you feel insecure in 68 00:03:19,610 --> 00:03:21,810 S1: terms of your relationship with the Lord. This is a 69 00:03:21,810 --> 00:03:24,450 S1: wonderful book to help you remember when you wake up 70 00:03:24,450 --> 00:03:27,770 S1: every morning. Oh God, thank you for loving me unconditionally 71 00:03:27,930 --> 00:03:31,250 S1: and no one and nothing can ever separate me from 72 00:03:31,250 --> 00:03:33,330 S1: the love of God. You can say that, but I 73 00:03:33,330 --> 00:03:35,970 S1: want you to know it definitively. So that's this month's 74 00:03:35,970 --> 00:03:40,810 S1: truth tool. Easy to remember. Secure. Just call 877 Janet 58. 75 00:03:40,810 --> 00:03:43,810 S1: That's 877. Janet 58. So I'd like a copy of 76 00:03:43,810 --> 00:03:45,530 S1: this month's truth tool, and we'll give it to you 77 00:03:45,530 --> 00:03:47,570 S1: for a gift of any amount, because we are listener 78 00:03:47,570 --> 00:03:50,530 S1: supported radio. And this is my way of saying thank you. 79 00:03:50,570 --> 00:03:52,570 S1: You can also give online at In the Market with 80 00:03:52,570 --> 00:03:55,570 S1: Janet Parshall. Org.

While you're on 83 00:04:00,530 --> 00:04:02,050 S1: the website. Take a look at what it means to 84 00:04:02,050 --> 00:04:05,850 S1: be a partial partner. That's our ever enlarging circle of 85 00:04:05,850 --> 00:04:08,250 S1: friends who give every single month at a level of 86 00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:10,930 S1: their own choosing, but they always get the truth tool. 87 00:04:10,930 --> 00:04:13,690 S1: And in addition to that, they get a weekly newsletter 88 00:04:13,690 --> 00:04:16,169 S1: that includes some of my writing and an audio piece 89 00:04:16,170 --> 00:04:19,410 S1: just for my partial partners. So perfectly consider both, won't you? 90 00:04:19,410 --> 00:04:24,330 S1: It's what keeps us going on the air. 87758877 Janet 91 00:04:24,330 --> 00:04:29,130 S1: 58 or online at in the market with Janet partial. Well, 92 00:04:29,330 --> 00:04:33,970 S1: US fighter jets shot down an unmanned Iranian drone that 93 00:04:33,970 --> 00:04:37,650 S1: was approaching the USS Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. This, 94 00:04:37,650 --> 00:04:41,170 S1: according to US Centcom spokesperson. I hope that means that 95 00:04:41,170 --> 00:04:43,370 S1: help is really on the way. What we know is 96 00:04:43,370 --> 00:04:46,650 S1: that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will be meeting with 97 00:04:46,650 --> 00:04:49,810 S1: some Iranian officials later this week. What does that mean 98 00:04:49,810 --> 00:04:53,320 S1: for regime change? I don't know, but here's something to 99 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,640 S1: think about. Here's a news report from CBS news. 100 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,839 S5: President Trump is urging Iran to abandon its nuclear program 101 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:00,880 S5: and make a deal. 102 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,520 S6: I'd like to see a deal negotiated. I don't know 103 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,160 S6: that that's going to happen. Right now we're talking to them. 104 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,720 S6: We're talking to Iran. And if we can work something out, 105 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,360 S6: that would be great. And if we can't, probably, probably 106 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:14,320 S6: bad things will happen. 107 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,400 S5: According to Iranian media, the country's president has ordered the 108 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,760 S5: start of talks. Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, is due 109 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,960 S5: in Israel on Tuesday for talks with Israeli Prime Minister 110 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,320 S5: Benjamin Netanyahu before a potential meeting with the Iranian foreign 111 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,320 S5: minister later in the week. In an address to the Knesset, 112 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,600 S5: Netanyahu said there are challenges ahead of Israel. 113 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,719 S7: More testing awaits us, but we are vigilant and prepared 114 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,560 S7: for any development. We're monitoring the situation and are ready 115 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,720 S7: for any scenario. Anyone who attacks us will face unbearable 116 00:05:50,910 --> 00:05:53,589 S7: consequences as far as he is concerned. 117 00:05:53,950 --> 00:05:57,750 S5: Despite the talk of negotiations, the US and Israel are 118 00:05:57,750 --> 00:06:01,990 S5: preparing for war. On Sunday, Israeli naval vessels and a U.S. 119 00:06:01,990 --> 00:06:05,710 S5: Navy destroyer held a joint exercise in the Red sea 120 00:06:05,750 --> 00:06:10,310 S5: arena in Gaza. Israel reopened the Rafah crossing with Egypt 121 00:06:10,310 --> 00:06:14,390 S5: on Tuesday, allowing people to cross but not any goods. 122 00:06:14,670 --> 00:06:18,029 S5: The Times of Israel published a decade old photo showing 123 00:06:18,070 --> 00:06:22,750 S5: a Gaza doctor wearing a Hamas uniform. Israeli news can 124 00:06:22,790 --> 00:06:26,470 S5: reported that Hamas's leadership sent a secret document to the 125 00:06:26,470 --> 00:06:30,950 S5: organization's officials in Gaza ahead of the installation of a 126 00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:35,229 S5: new government. It revealed how Hamas plans to continue ruling 127 00:06:35,230 --> 00:06:39,870 S5: and managing the Gaza Strip despite Trump's plan, which calls 128 00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:44,789 S5: for the complete disarming and dismantling of Hamas. Avi says 129 00:06:44,790 --> 00:06:49,070 S5: both Iran and its proxy, Hamas, are employing an ancient 130 00:06:49,220 --> 00:06:53,260 S5: Islamic tactic to buy time and rebuild their strength. 131 00:06:53,540 --> 00:06:57,219 S8: A hudna is a pause. Saying, okay, we can't win now. 132 00:06:57,620 --> 00:07:01,060 S8: We'll make a temporary peace deal so that when our 133 00:07:01,060 --> 00:07:04,300 S8: enemies are either weak or they don't see it coming 134 00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:07,460 S8: and we're strong again, we will then attack again to 135 00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,460 S8: destroy our enemies. That is exactly what Muhammad did back 136 00:07:10,460 --> 00:07:11,580 S8: in 628. 137 00:07:11,620 --> 00:07:14,820 S5: He says the West needs to understand that the only 138 00:07:14,820 --> 00:07:18,660 S5: way to deal with jihadi ideology is to defeat it. 139 00:07:18,780 --> 00:07:22,100 S8: This is a society that's at war to not only 140 00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:25,660 S8: destroy Israel, but jihad is about taking over the world 141 00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:29,140 S8: in the name of Islam. It's about first going after 142 00:07:29,140 --> 00:07:31,980 S8: the Saturday people. That's the Jews, then going after the 143 00:07:31,980 --> 00:07:35,220 S8: Sunday people. That's the Christians. And they are in the 144 00:07:35,220 --> 00:07:38,780 S8: process of doing this across Europe, Australia, Canada. They're in 145 00:07:38,780 --> 00:07:41,820 S8: the process of doing this in America, uh, even without 146 00:07:41,860 --> 00:07:43,140 S8: raising a sword. 147 00:07:43,220 --> 00:07:45,700 S5: Julie Stahl CBN news Jerusalem. 148 00:07:46,260 --> 00:07:48,770 S1: Because we believe in the power of prayer. Let's talk 149 00:07:48,770 --> 00:07:51,290 S1: about something that's making its round in the news right now. 150 00:07:51,290 --> 00:07:54,970 S1: Police say they believe that Savannah Guthrie's 84 year old mother, 151 00:07:54,970 --> 00:07:58,770 S1: Nancy Guthrie, was taken from her home against her will 152 00:07:58,770 --> 00:08:03,250 S1: in a, quote, possible kidnapping or abduction before her family 153 00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:06,450 S1: reported her missing from her Arizona residence the following day. 154 00:08:06,690 --> 00:08:09,930 S1: Nancy was last seen on the night of January 31st 155 00:08:09,930 --> 00:08:12,970 S1: at her home outside Tucson, and was reported missing at 156 00:08:12,970 --> 00:08:16,770 S1: noon by her family. By the way, thanks be to God, 157 00:08:16,770 --> 00:08:18,809 S1: she has some people who care for her very much 158 00:08:18,810 --> 00:08:20,770 S1: because she didn't show up at church, and that's when 159 00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:24,650 S1: people started to get concerned. Uh, according to people who 160 00:08:24,650 --> 00:08:27,290 S1: are observing this on the ground, they truly believe that 161 00:08:27,290 --> 00:08:30,050 S1: she was taken against her will. She needs medication. She 162 00:08:30,050 --> 00:08:33,609 S1: is 84. Nancy, of course, is the daughter of Savannah Guthrie, 163 00:08:33,650 --> 00:08:37,490 S1: who happens to be the host of NBC's today program. 164 00:08:37,770 --> 00:08:41,770 S1: So the search continues. They had a press conference this afternoon. 165 00:08:41,770 --> 00:08:44,410 S1: They're being very and they should be being very quiet 166 00:08:44,410 --> 00:08:47,480 S1: about a lot of the deal's details, because the details 167 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,320 S1: are going to be known only by the perpetrator. So 168 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,120 S1: now floating around TMZ is the idea that there might 169 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,200 S1: be a ransom note. What's most important, I think, for 170 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,160 S1: us to realize is that Nancy or Savannah rather put 171 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,679 S1: out today this on Instagram. We believe in prayer. We 172 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,439 S1: believe in voices raised in unison and hope and love. 173 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,920 S1: We believe in goodness. We believe in humility. Above all, 174 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,600 S1: we believe in him. Capital H. Thank you for lifting 175 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,400 S1: your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, 176 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,480 S1: a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant, 177 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,800 S1: raised your prayers with us and believe with us that 178 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,840 S1: she will be lifted by them at this very moment. 179 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,560 S1: We need you. He will keep you in perfect peace, 180 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,480 S1: whose mind is stayed on thee. She quoted from the 181 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,559 S1: book of Isaiah. Pray for this family, won't you? They 182 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:43,760 S1: need it desperately right now. Back after this. Are you 183 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,390 S1: constantly feeling like God is disappointed in you, or do 184 00:09:46,390 --> 00:09:48,910 S1: you feel like he's too busy for your problems? Well, 185 00:09:48,910 --> 00:09:51,350 S1: that's why I've chosen secure how to have a healthy 186 00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:54,230 S1: attachment to God as this month's truth tool. Learn to 187 00:09:54,309 --> 00:09:57,110 S1: grasp the depth of God's love for you. Ask for 188 00:09:57,110 --> 00:09:58,990 S1: your copy of secure. When you give a gift of 189 00:09:58,990 --> 00:10:02,590 S1: any amount in the market, call 877. Janet 58. That's 190 00:10:02,590 --> 00:10:05,670 S1: 877 Janet 58 or go to in the market with 191 00:10:05,670 --> 00:10:10,790 S1: Janet Dot. We'll take out your prayer list because we're 192 00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:14,350 S1: going to lengthen them. I just love Karen and Jim Cavill. 193 00:10:14,390 --> 00:10:17,070 S1: Boy do they love Jesus. And they love people. And 194 00:10:17,070 --> 00:10:19,550 S1: God has put them on a very interesting mission field 195 00:10:19,550 --> 00:10:23,429 S1: right smack dab in Hollywood land, as they used to 196 00:10:23,429 --> 00:10:27,110 S1: call it. And, you know, he created both of these people, 197 00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:30,990 S1: Jim and Karen, as unbelievably creative people. Their Christmas card 198 00:10:30,990 --> 00:10:33,670 S1: alone is always darling. But I have to tell you, Jim, 199 00:10:33,670 --> 00:10:36,429 S1: through the world of music, Karen, through understanding what it's 200 00:10:36,429 --> 00:10:38,590 S1: like to put together a documentary and the art of 201 00:10:38,590 --> 00:10:41,630 S1: story writing. But more importantly, both of them are prayer warriors, 202 00:10:41,910 --> 00:10:44,420 S1: and Karen became the founding director of something called the 203 00:10:44,420 --> 00:10:47,060 S1: Hollywood Prayer Network, which I just love. Rather than pick 204 00:10:47,100 --> 00:10:49,059 S1: up a stone and throw it at your television, and 205 00:10:49,059 --> 00:10:53,059 S1: I will grant you, based on the latest Grammy Awards, 206 00:10:53,220 --> 00:10:55,300 S1: that probably there were probably a lot of televisions that 207 00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:58,180 S1: got broken all across America, but I digress. The point is, 208 00:10:58,380 --> 00:11:01,420 S1: Karen wants us not to see that entity of the 209 00:11:01,420 --> 00:11:04,500 S1: greatest influencers in the world. And note to file, it's 210 00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:06,860 S1: not the people here in my town of Washington, D.C., 211 00:11:07,100 --> 00:11:09,420 S1: it's the people in Cairns Town that are the greatest 212 00:11:09,420 --> 00:11:13,140 S1: influencers on planet Earth. There was a reason why Caesar said, 213 00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:15,380 S1: let them eat bread and circus. We like good stories. 214 00:11:15,380 --> 00:11:18,100 S1: We like to be entertained. Jesus knew that, by the way. 215 00:11:18,100 --> 00:11:20,579 S1: That's why he spoke in parables, which is a fancy 216 00:11:20,580 --> 00:11:22,540 S1: word for telling a good story. But there was a 217 00:11:22,540 --> 00:11:25,540 S1: reason always behind his story. So what she wants us 218 00:11:25,540 --> 00:11:27,540 S1: to do is to pray for revival in that part 219 00:11:27,540 --> 00:11:29,980 S1: of the town. Not Sodom and Gomorrah, but Nineveh. So 220 00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:32,780 S1: God is not a father who frustrates. He meets creative people. 221 00:11:32,820 --> 00:11:35,540 S1: He sends them into a creative industry. But they need 222 00:11:35,540 --> 00:11:38,380 S1: to be prayed for because every single day the challenge 223 00:11:38,380 --> 00:11:42,980 S1: to compromise, to retreat, to be Uncourageous is always before them. Then, 224 00:11:42,980 --> 00:11:45,220 S1: then pray for those who think that just a statue 225 00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:47,260 S1: is going to change everything and give them value and 226 00:11:47,260 --> 00:11:49,939 S1: worth and dignity and purpose. And all the statue does 227 00:11:49,940 --> 00:11:52,500 S1: in the final analysis is collect dust. So this is 228 00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:55,179 S1: a very important global prayer ministry. And that's why I 229 00:11:55,179 --> 00:11:57,459 S1: keep asking Karen to join me. And that's why, bless 230 00:11:57,460 --> 00:11:59,780 S1: her heart, she keeps coming back. I don't know why 231 00:11:59,780 --> 00:12:01,819 S1: and joins me on a regular basis. So pull up 232 00:12:01,820 --> 00:12:04,460 S1: a chair. We're going to go round robin real fast. 233 00:12:04,460 --> 00:12:06,860 S1: I want to talk about your prayer sheets. You put 234 00:12:06,860 --> 00:12:10,500 S1: these out by monthly. I'm so glad they're very, very intentional, 235 00:12:10,500 --> 00:12:13,420 S1: specific ways to pray for people in the industry saved 236 00:12:13,420 --> 00:12:16,140 S1: and not yet saved, which I greatly appreciate. But I'm 237 00:12:16,140 --> 00:12:17,860 S1: going to start with a curveball. I just read about 238 00:12:17,860 --> 00:12:20,060 S1: this today and I thought, oh, if anybody knows, it's 239 00:12:20,059 --> 00:12:23,540 S1: my friend Karen. So I just read today that Denzel 240 00:12:23,540 --> 00:12:28,020 S1: Washington and Sylvester Stallone are going to launch a $500 million, 241 00:12:28,059 --> 00:12:33,020 S1: no woke studio in a new film production company with 242 00:12:33,020 --> 00:12:37,660 S1: a $500 million investment aiming at creating, quote, no woke films. 243 00:12:37,900 --> 00:12:42,850 S1: And this is very interesting focusing on veteran centered stories. 244 00:12:42,850 --> 00:12:47,449 S1: So their initiative wants to redefine Hollywood storytelling by prioritizing 245 00:12:47,690 --> 00:12:51,010 S1: authenticity and honoring the sacrifices of those who served in 246 00:12:51,010 --> 00:12:54,850 S1: the military and the company. Not surprising is named Iron 247 00:12:54,890 --> 00:12:58,090 S1: Star Studios. It's already in pre-production on that one, but 248 00:12:58,090 --> 00:13:02,090 S1: three major films, including a military action based drama based 249 00:13:02,090 --> 00:13:05,410 S1: on real events in Afghanistan and a biopic centered on 250 00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:09,730 S1: a medal of honor recipient. And so Denzel and Sylvester 251 00:13:09,730 --> 00:13:12,770 S1: are committed to high quality storytelling, and their passion for 252 00:13:12,770 --> 00:13:15,610 S1: honoring vets really does set the stage, some are saying, 253 00:13:15,610 --> 00:13:20,290 S1: for a transformative impact on the entertainment industry. Wow. And 254 00:13:20,290 --> 00:13:22,050 S1: triple wow. What do you know? You got all the 255 00:13:22,050 --> 00:13:22,930 S1: skinny out there. 256 00:13:23,330 --> 00:13:26,490 S9: Well, I am so excited you brought this up because 257 00:13:26,690 --> 00:13:29,929 S9: this is an example of Christians who don't just complain, 258 00:13:29,929 --> 00:13:33,050 S9: but do something about it so they could go on 259 00:13:33,050 --> 00:13:35,690 S9: complaining and getting mad at people here and telling them 260 00:13:35,690 --> 00:13:40,400 S9: how wrong they are. Or two Christians, Denzel and Sylvester 261 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,440 S9: get together and say, what can we do to make 262 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,920 S9: a difference? And they're putting their resources, their money, their 263 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:51,200 S9: contacts together. And they're saying, okay, instead of complaining about 264 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:53,360 S9: what I don't like, I'm going to create something that 265 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,600 S9: I think is important and I am all for it. 266 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,840 S9: Iron Star Studios I just got a kick out of 267 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,400 S9: that name because you think Sylvester Stallone, you think the 268 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,520 S9: iron and Denzel is such a star. And then you've 269 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,360 S9: got their studios, so it's just the perfect name for them. 270 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:11,000 S9: But I think it's great that they are willing to 271 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,120 S9: risk their own money. You know, there's a whole thing. 272 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,719 S9: Other people's money. Don't use your own. Now they're going 273 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,319 S9: to raise money, but they're also putting a stake in 274 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,640 S9: the ground and saying, we want to make a difference 275 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,080 S9: with our own lives, our own resources, and our own relationships. 276 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,640 S9: So let's be praying for them. In fact, that's so 277 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,160 S9: funny you brought that up. It's going to be in 278 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,600 S9: our call sheet tomorrow that comes out. 279 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,240 S1: So see if anybody's got the skinny. It's my friend Karen. 280 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,270 S1: I knew you'd have that. I think that's fabulous. So 281 00:14:38,270 --> 00:14:40,790 S1: what are people saying? I mean, you know, the old 282 00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:42,990 S1: saying you don't want to buck the system, right? So. 283 00:14:43,070 --> 00:14:43,630 S9: Right. 284 00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:46,950 S1: Is this idea being received with arms wide open? Is 285 00:14:46,950 --> 00:14:48,830 S1: it deemed to be a threat? Is it got other 286 00:14:48,830 --> 00:14:51,270 S1: people who are like minded thinking the same way or what? 287 00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:56,590 S9: Well, it's got both sides. It's got the very public, um, 288 00:14:56,590 --> 00:15:00,430 S9: left people in Hollywood saying, what a waste of time. 289 00:15:00,430 --> 00:15:02,470 S9: Who are these people? They're probably going to, you know, 290 00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:04,710 S9: decide they're never going to work in Hollywood again, that 291 00:15:04,710 --> 00:15:07,990 S9: type of thing. But there is a very strong group 292 00:15:07,990 --> 00:15:12,750 S9: of quiet, conservative people in Hollywood who don't say much 293 00:15:12,750 --> 00:15:15,630 S9: because they're afraid what it might, you know, create, but 294 00:15:15,630 --> 00:15:18,950 S9: they're supportive. So I'm hearing both at the same time. 295 00:15:18,950 --> 00:15:22,150 S9: I'm hearing people saying, oh, it's about time somebody with 296 00:15:22,150 --> 00:15:25,230 S9: impact can do something. And then there are other people going, 297 00:15:25,310 --> 00:15:27,590 S9: what do they think they're doing? So they think they're 298 00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:30,870 S9: better than we are. You know, that's the that's the attitude. 299 00:15:31,150 --> 00:15:31,710 S1: Exactly. 300 00:15:31,750 --> 00:15:34,150 S9: So it's both we have to just pray because the 301 00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:37,780 S9: division is incredible. And again, like our country, it's probably 302 00:15:37,780 --> 00:15:38,940 S9: half and half. Yeah. 303 00:15:38,980 --> 00:15:42,100 S1: Exactly. Right. But isn't it interesting? I mean, these are 304 00:15:42,100 --> 00:15:45,900 S1: really first class entertainment entities. I'm thinking when you were 305 00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:49,460 S1: talking about wonder, the stuff that wonder puts out is 306 00:15:49,460 --> 00:15:52,540 S1: absolutely fabulous. I am so intrigued right now on a 307 00:15:52,540 --> 00:15:55,300 S1: series that they're doing about a family that said, mom 308 00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:57,420 S1: was diagnosed with lymphoma. They said, we're going to go 309 00:15:57,420 --> 00:16:00,220 S1: discover joy and wonder again. Pack up their family. They 310 00:16:00,220 --> 00:16:02,820 S1: go to Croatia, they learn how to sail and the 311 00:16:02,820 --> 00:16:05,940 S1: lessons they're learning as a family when they're sailing have been. 312 00:16:05,980 --> 00:16:07,540 S1: I mean, I've got tears in my eyes so many 313 00:16:07,540 --> 00:16:09,700 S1: times watching this to just sit back and see the 314 00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:12,020 S1: wonder of God's handiwork, whether it be the ocean or 315 00:16:12,020 --> 00:16:14,500 S1: the stars as they're looking through a telescope and some 316 00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:17,420 S1: town in Croatia, or just the dynamic of being with 317 00:16:17,420 --> 00:16:20,540 S1: the family and having to trust God on calm waters 318 00:16:20,540 --> 00:16:22,060 S1: and stormy seas as well. 319 00:16:22,780 --> 00:16:25,380 S9: That's right. It's so important. And not only is the 320 00:16:25,380 --> 00:16:28,140 S9: story strong and the acting as well, and the production 321 00:16:28,140 --> 00:16:31,780 S9: is good, but we need more solid role models. And 322 00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:34,610 S9: to role model a model. A healthy family is crucial 323 00:16:34,610 --> 00:16:37,730 S9: in our country right now. People have got to see 324 00:16:37,730 --> 00:16:41,290 S9: that a healthy family works and there's too much talk 325 00:16:41,290 --> 00:16:43,570 S9: that it doesn't. So let's put a family on TV 326 00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:46,210 S9: and let people watch it. Watch it work. 327 00:16:46,850 --> 00:16:48,810 S1: And not only that, Kim, but isn't it precious when 328 00:16:48,810 --> 00:16:51,290 S1: you see the family praying together or saying grace over 329 00:16:51,330 --> 00:16:54,490 S1: a meal? It isn't done in a derogatory fashion. It 330 00:16:54,490 --> 00:16:56,850 S1: isn't deriding them at all. It's just the ebb and 331 00:16:56,850 --> 00:16:59,450 S1: flow of who they are. And if I can put 332 00:16:59,450 --> 00:17:02,730 S1: it this way, it normalizes faith. You understand that it's 333 00:17:02,730 --> 00:17:05,090 S1: a part of so many people's lives. So that's all 334 00:17:05,090 --> 00:17:08,570 S1: the good news stuff. When we come back, I think 335 00:17:08,570 --> 00:17:10,570 S1: I need to overnight you some aspirin. I don't know 336 00:17:10,570 --> 00:17:12,969 S1: how you deal with award season, but, boy, you're in 337 00:17:12,970 --> 00:17:14,330 S1: the midst of it now. I want to get some 338 00:17:14,369 --> 00:17:17,170 S1: takes on this and how we can specifically pray. So 339 00:17:17,170 --> 00:17:19,210 S1: you need to be a part of this, okay? This 340 00:17:19,210 --> 00:17:21,050 S1: is not an option. If I could, I'd mandate that 341 00:17:21,050 --> 00:17:24,050 S1: we all become a part of this prayer movement for 342 00:17:24,050 --> 00:17:27,330 S1: those in this most powerful industry. Yes, the good, the 343 00:17:27,330 --> 00:17:29,689 S1: bad and the ugly that we pray for them like 344 00:17:29,690 --> 00:17:33,600 S1: Nineveh Hollywood Prayer Network. Sign up for the call sheets 345 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:44,040 S1: back after this. Bill is with us, founding director of 346 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,960 S1: the Hollywood Prayer Network, which is a global prayer movement 347 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,320 S1: to pray for the biggest group of influencers on planet Earth, 348 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,720 S1: those in the entertainment industry. So just a quick word, because, boy, 349 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:55,359 S1: there's just so many things I want to talk to 350 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,760 S1: you about, Karen. But, you know, I've come to believe 351 00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,920 S1: and I think a lot of Americans have as well. 352 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:01,760 S1: And it's one of the reasons why the numbers keep 353 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,440 S1: tanking for these award shows. It's like, spare me your politics. 354 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:05,760 S1: I loved your film. I don't want to know what 355 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,160 S1: your politics is. So I give you the Grammys as 356 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,440 S1: an example. Billie Eilish gets up and make this ridiculous 357 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,600 S1: statement about, you know, we all live on occupied lands. 358 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,800 S1: And of course, now she's being derided because she's got 359 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,840 S1: a $14.5 million mansion. And people are saying, Will you 360 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,920 S1: give up your land because it was built on Native 361 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,600 S1: American land? So you go first. And of course, you know, 362 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,720 S1: that's the five seconds of political involvement that makes a headline. 363 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,200 S1: But then you have to deal with the blowback and 364 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,470 S1: the consequences. Yet in the middle of the same. And 365 00:18:31,470 --> 00:18:34,390 S1: it was blankety blank ice and over. Thank goodness for 366 00:18:34,390 --> 00:18:36,869 S1: the delay buttons on network television. Otherwise you'd be standing 367 00:18:36,869 --> 00:18:39,150 S1: in front of the FCC and, you know, all night long. 368 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:41,510 S1: But yet the people who live in darkness have seen 369 00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:44,150 S1: a great light. Jelly roll gets up there with his 370 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:47,470 S1: Bible in one hand and the Grammy in the other, 371 00:18:47,590 --> 00:18:50,750 S1: and talks about how everybody needs Jesus and how Jesus 372 00:18:50,750 --> 00:18:53,149 S1: set him free. It wasn't obligatory. First, I'd like to 373 00:18:53,150 --> 00:18:55,590 S1: thank my Lord and Savior. Always happy when that happens. 374 00:18:55,590 --> 00:18:59,030 S1: But he went the distance and they couldn't do anything 375 00:18:59,030 --> 00:19:01,350 S1: about it. You know this. Talk to me about this. 376 00:19:01,350 --> 00:19:03,470 S1: Do we watch the awards programs? Do we not watch 377 00:19:03,470 --> 00:19:05,310 S1: them because we know we're going to be frustrated. And 378 00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:07,550 S1: yet there are those bright moments where you think, whether 379 00:19:07,550 --> 00:19:09,430 S1: you liked it or not, you just got preached at. 380 00:19:10,030 --> 00:19:12,990 S9: Well, that's it. You don't know what's going to happen. Now, 381 00:19:12,990 --> 00:19:15,229 S9: there are more people who talk about Jesus on music 382 00:19:15,230 --> 00:19:18,189 S9: shows than on on the Oscars. Yes, because most of 383 00:19:18,190 --> 00:19:20,550 S9: them grow up singing at church and that was their 384 00:19:20,710 --> 00:19:23,270 S9: that was their outlet to be able to sing when 385 00:19:23,270 --> 00:19:27,469 S9: they were little. But there's also the passionate political people 386 00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:31,830 S9: who have to use their platform for their own message. 387 00:19:31,950 --> 00:19:34,350 S9: So I don't think these award shows are for everybody. 388 00:19:34,350 --> 00:19:36,629 S9: I think they're for the people who either want to 389 00:19:36,670 --> 00:19:39,150 S9: really know what's going on so they know how to respond, 390 00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:42,230 S9: or they pray as they go through. For people who 391 00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:45,670 S9: need Jesus, those are the two things I recommend. We 392 00:19:45,670 --> 00:19:47,550 S9: had a Grammys party, which we do every year at 393 00:19:47,550 --> 00:19:49,630 S9: our home, and we had a house full of musicians, 394 00:19:49,910 --> 00:19:52,870 S9: and we were yelling and screaming and laughing and praying 395 00:19:52,910 --> 00:19:58,750 S9: and everything. Because together, as a corporate community of believers, 396 00:19:58,869 --> 00:20:01,350 S9: we knew what we were hearing when it wasn't right, 397 00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:03,270 S9: and we got all excited when it was. And so 398 00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:06,629 S9: it was a nice celebration for us. But it isn't 399 00:20:06,630 --> 00:20:10,869 S9: for everybody. There's so much that goes on. When people's 400 00:20:11,030 --> 00:20:15,470 S9: God become their politics, they have to do something about that. 401 00:20:15,470 --> 00:20:19,070 S9: And it's just it's a passion of theirs as our 402 00:20:19,070 --> 00:20:23,750 S9: passion is for Jesus and it gets wearisome. But they 403 00:20:23,750 --> 00:20:27,500 S9: need Jesus. And so my motivation is always, if this 404 00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:29,980 S9: person could be as passionate about Jesus as they are 405 00:20:29,980 --> 00:20:36,220 S9: about politics, they would be a life changer because what 406 00:20:36,220 --> 00:20:41,140 S9: they're giving their whole life to is ultimately empty. It's meaningless. 407 00:20:41,180 --> 00:20:45,260 S9: It's it's it's going to just float away. And yet, 408 00:20:45,260 --> 00:20:51,420 S9: if they took that artistic sensitivity and passion and love 409 00:20:51,420 --> 00:20:54,700 S9: for life as a Christian, oh my goodness, the whole 410 00:20:54,700 --> 00:20:57,300 S9: world would be different. So that's why I want revival. 411 00:20:57,340 --> 00:21:01,060 S9: Here we are, a community of passionate artists who can 412 00:21:01,060 --> 00:21:03,460 S9: make such an impact on the world for good or 413 00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:07,260 S9: for evil. And I'm voting for good. I'm just not 414 00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:10,660 S9: giving up. So that's what I that's what I want 415 00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:13,340 S9: other people to join me in. And yes, it's a 416 00:21:13,340 --> 00:21:15,340 S9: hard thing to see some people, you know, the ice 417 00:21:15,340 --> 00:21:18,740 S9: out buttons and all the things that came on. It's like, oh, really? 418 00:21:19,060 --> 00:21:22,500 S9: But their politics is their god and this is their 419 00:21:22,500 --> 00:21:24,180 S9: chance to talk about their God. 420 00:21:24,810 --> 00:21:27,330 S1: Another reason why you all need to be a part 421 00:21:27,330 --> 00:21:29,929 S1: of this global prayer network, right? The Hollywood Prayer Network. 422 00:21:29,970 --> 00:21:32,530 S1: You need to be praying because if their God is 423 00:21:32,530 --> 00:21:35,129 S1: their politics or their statute, you understand, they go to 424 00:21:35,170 --> 00:21:38,210 S1: bed at night empty hearted. There's a God shaped void, 425 00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:40,490 S1: and no statue in the world is going to fill that. 426 00:21:40,490 --> 00:21:42,970 S1: So be praying. And the wonderful thing about Karen's bi 427 00:21:43,010 --> 00:21:45,210 S1: monthly newsletters is that you get a chance to pray 428 00:21:45,210 --> 00:21:48,050 S1: for people who don't yet know the Lord about mergers 429 00:21:48,050 --> 00:21:50,250 S1: that are going to affect people's lives, about, well, tell 430 00:21:50,250 --> 00:21:53,530 S1: them about Ted Chen. Okay. This NBC four news anchor, 431 00:21:53,570 --> 00:21:54,890 S1: what a great story. 432 00:21:55,330 --> 00:21:58,810 S9: Is that that is probably the only positive story in 433 00:21:58,810 --> 00:22:01,570 S9: the LA times I've read in the last ten years. 434 00:22:01,609 --> 00:22:06,369 S9: I mean, literally, he is a godly man who became 435 00:22:06,369 --> 00:22:10,970 S9: a Christian in the process of being an NBC four journalist, 436 00:22:10,970 --> 00:22:13,010 S9: and he was out on the road. But what he 437 00:22:13,010 --> 00:22:17,889 S9: also did is he created himself an environment in the 438 00:22:17,890 --> 00:22:22,730 S9: newsroom of loving community. Less people have left that newsroom 439 00:22:22,730 --> 00:22:25,560 S9: in the past decade than any other newsroom in Los Angeles, 440 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,080 S9: and I give Ted credit. He loves people. He cares 441 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,200 S9: for them. He pours into them, he listens to them. 442 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,840 S9: And then there are some news things he doesn't want 443 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,480 S9: to do. And he says, you know, I'm not the 444 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,920 S9: right guy for it. Let someone else do this one. 445 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,960 S9: I mean, he's clear in what's important to him, and 446 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,320 S9: what he's decided to do is definitely not retire. But 447 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:49,439 S9: he's refocusing from being on the news to now starting 448 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,760 S9: a ministry to help people in the entertainment industry. So 449 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,040 S9: we are working in partnership on some things. He's an 450 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:59,879 S9: amazing man. He is finishing up at Fuller Seminary to 451 00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,920 S9: get his degree and he's passionate. One of the things 452 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,760 S9: he's passionate about is the struggle of young Christians in 453 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,600 S9: Hollywood finding spouses. Young people want to be married and 454 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,640 S9: it's just a spiritual battle. And he found his wife 455 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,840 S9: later on in life and realizes how it completely transformed him. 456 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,199 S9: And he wants to help young people who want to 457 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,030 S9: be married but just haven't found anybody to focus on. Jesus, 458 00:23:25,030 --> 00:23:27,590 S9: to pray, to become the right person before they try 459 00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:29,950 S9: to find the right person. You know, he's he's going 460 00:23:29,990 --> 00:23:32,310 S9: to make an eternal difference. And I'm excited about it. 461 00:23:32,350 --> 00:23:35,709 S1: Yeah. Amen and amen. I have 30s left. Talk to me. 462 00:23:35,750 --> 00:23:38,070 S1: We were just talking about Wonder Wheel. Come full circle. 463 00:23:38,109 --> 00:23:39,869 S1: Tell me about. It's not like that. I want our 464 00:23:39,869 --> 00:23:41,790 S1: friends to know about this. Also on wonder. 465 00:23:42,270 --> 00:23:45,590 S9: Oh my gosh, the shows on wonder, just like you said, 466 00:23:45,630 --> 00:23:49,870 S9: are so important for Christians to see because that's where 467 00:23:49,869 --> 00:23:53,109 S9: we get a chance to pray, to tell other people 468 00:23:53,109 --> 00:23:55,790 S9: they can watch some television that this is a good 469 00:23:55,790 --> 00:23:57,910 S9: show to watch, that this is something that people can 470 00:23:57,910 --> 00:24:01,510 S9: come around and experience. And it's not like that is 471 00:24:01,510 --> 00:24:04,990 S9: the release of a show that is about it's a 472 00:24:04,990 --> 00:24:08,429 S9: it's about family. It's about grief. It's about ultimately how 473 00:24:08,550 --> 00:24:12,190 S9: we see God and how we see each other as people. 474 00:24:12,310 --> 00:24:15,630 S9: It's got great Christian themes. It doesn't hit you over 475 00:24:15,630 --> 00:24:18,230 S9: the head, but it's a solid show that I hope 476 00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:19,229 S9: people check out. 477 00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:22,139 S1: And it's a streaming platform. Just Google wonder and you're 478 00:24:22,140 --> 00:24:23,739 S1: going to be able to find it. We love it 479 00:24:23,740 --> 00:24:26,699 S1: in the partial household, Karen. That always goes so quickly. Friends, 480 00:24:26,700 --> 00:24:28,699 S1: in the meantime, can you just join Karen and the 481 00:24:28,700 --> 00:24:32,620 S1: wonderful work that she's doing? Hollywood Prayer Network. Sign up 482 00:24:32,619 --> 00:24:34,540 S1: and be a part of the prayer team. Thank you Karen, 483 00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:36,220 S1: from the bottom of my heart. We'll be right back 484 00:24:36,220 --> 00:24:48,580 S1: after this. Anyone can read the news every day and 485 00:24:48,580 --> 00:24:50,620 S1: in the market, we're committed to telling the news as 486 00:24:50,619 --> 00:24:53,100 S1: seen through the lens of Scripture. As Christians, we must 487 00:24:53,100 --> 00:24:55,060 S1: be informed about what's going on in the world and 488 00:24:55,060 --> 00:24:58,140 S1: respond appropriately. When you become a partial partner, you ensure 489 00:24:58,140 --> 00:25:00,620 S1: that we continue here on your station, equipping the church 490 00:25:00,619 --> 00:25:03,859 S1: to discuss current events, using the Bible as our solid foundation. 491 00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:08,020 S1: Why not become a partial partner today? Call 87758 or 492 00:25:08,020 --> 00:25:12,220 S1: go online to in the market with Janet Parshall. So 493 00:25:12,220 --> 00:25:14,580 S1: let's talk about the weather outside. Everybody loves to talk 494 00:25:14,619 --> 00:25:17,220 S1: about the weather. It's one of those safe topics. Or 495 00:25:17,220 --> 00:25:20,170 S1: is it. you? Tie back to the issue of climate change. 496 00:25:20,170 --> 00:25:21,850 S1: I don't know about you, but we are having a 497 00:25:21,850 --> 00:25:25,169 S1: bizarro winter here in the Mid-Atlantic. Note to file they 498 00:25:25,170 --> 00:25:28,170 S1: don't do winter well here. I'm a transplant from Wisconsin, 499 00:25:28,170 --> 00:25:31,250 S1: and there are as many snowplows in Milwaukee County as 500 00:25:31,250 --> 00:25:34,770 S1: there are in the entire Commonwealth of Virginia. But as 501 00:25:34,770 --> 00:25:37,250 S1: we sat and we listened to the prophets of doom 502 00:25:37,250 --> 00:25:39,250 S1: tell us how bad the weather was going to be, 503 00:25:39,290 --> 00:25:42,490 S1: I must have heard, because of climate change ad nauseam, 504 00:25:42,770 --> 00:25:46,010 S1: polar vortex vortexes as a result of climate change. And 505 00:25:46,010 --> 00:25:48,010 S1: I thought, I need to call in my friend Steve 506 00:25:48,050 --> 00:25:51,050 S1: Gorham because I just I want to separate fact from fiction. 507 00:25:51,170 --> 00:25:54,130 S1: So I did. So Steve's here. He's the executive director 508 00:25:54,130 --> 00:25:56,850 S1: of the Climate Science Coalition of America and the author 509 00:25:56,850 --> 00:26:00,450 S1: of four books on energy, climate change and sustainable development. 510 00:26:00,490 --> 00:26:03,410 S1: He's got over 100,000 copies in print, and that number 511 00:26:03,410 --> 00:26:05,850 S1: is growing. His latest in his litany of books is 512 00:26:05,850 --> 00:26:10,649 S1: called Green Breakdown The Coming Renewable Energy Failure. So, Steve, 513 00:26:10,690 --> 00:26:13,050 S1: pull up a chair because I have a thousand questions 514 00:26:13,050 --> 00:26:16,490 S1: for you. Truly, this polar vortex record cold. We just 515 00:26:16,609 --> 00:26:19,050 S1: had this thing off the Mid-Atlantic that hit the Carolinas 516 00:26:19,050 --> 00:26:22,490 S1: and southern Virginia. The cyclone bomb as well. I mean, 517 00:26:22,850 --> 00:26:25,570 S1: it's a gloom and doom. So let's just start from 518 00:26:25,570 --> 00:26:29,369 S1: the very beginning. I feel like Julie Andrews here breaking 519 00:26:29,369 --> 00:26:31,090 S1: into a song from Sound of Music in a minute. 520 00:26:31,290 --> 00:26:34,490 S1: Let's start at the very beginning. Is this man made 521 00:26:34,490 --> 00:26:38,449 S1: or is this just the atmosphere and the weather doing 522 00:26:38,450 --> 00:26:39,570 S1: what the weather does? 523 00:26:40,369 --> 00:26:43,609 S10: Well, I think it's, uh, it's just a good old fashioned, 524 00:26:43,609 --> 00:26:47,410 S10: really nasty weather in North America and in the United States. 525 00:26:47,410 --> 00:26:50,250 S10: And it really has been terrific, uh, terrible in many ways. 526 00:26:50,250 --> 00:26:52,370 S10: He had more than 100 people die, I think, last week. 527 00:26:52,369 --> 00:26:55,490 S10: And then the bomb cyclone has killed dozens on the 528 00:26:55,490 --> 00:26:59,369 S10: East Coast. They had, uh, almost two feet of snow 529 00:26:59,369 --> 00:27:03,610 S10: in Boston and just, uh, all the way down into Florida. 530 00:27:03,650 --> 00:27:06,889 S10: I think the they have the the iguanas dropping out 531 00:27:06,890 --> 00:27:09,609 S10: of the trees down there and everything else. We set 532 00:27:09,609 --> 00:27:13,330 S10: a record for snow in Chicago, and it's been brutal, very, 533 00:27:13,330 --> 00:27:16,600 S10: very tough. But you know, you're right. We still have 534 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,919 S10: a bunch of people saying that it's it's part of 535 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,919 S10: the polar vortex. Uh, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is 536 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,080 S10: still holding to that line. They say we've had an 537 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:31,439 S10: Arctic amplification because of man made warming, which is causing, uh, 538 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,920 S10: this severe weather in many cases. So, you know who's 539 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,720 S10: who's to tell? It's it's a tough situation. There are 540 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,240 S10: a lot of old quotes, though, that, uh, from the 541 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:48,280 S10: climate alarmists. Um, one, of course, was, uh, former president, 542 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:53,760 S10: Vice President Al Gore in 2009 at the Copenhagen climate conference, 543 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,639 S10: he said, quote, there's a 75% chance that the entire 544 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,800 S10: north polar ice cap during some of the summer months 545 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,120 S10: could be completely ice free within the next 5 to 546 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,560 S10: 7 years. And that certainly didn't happen then. We've had 547 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:12,000 S10: other folks, um, Doctor David Archer, Doctor Stephen Ramsey and 548 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,670 S10: the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment report, said. 549 00:28:16,670 --> 00:28:18,470 S10: One of the robust findings of the report is that 550 00:28:18,470 --> 00:28:21,990 S10: snow cover in most continental areas will dramatically decrease unless 551 00:28:22,030 --> 00:28:26,150 S10: warming is stopped. Large areas are expected to become snow free. 552 00:28:26,990 --> 00:28:29,790 S10: So there's a lot of, uh, a lot of predictions 553 00:28:29,790 --> 00:28:31,750 S10: that have fallen by the wayside. And I have captured 554 00:28:31,750 --> 00:28:32,790 S10: those in my books. 555 00:28:33,150 --> 00:28:35,469 S1: You have. You've done a superb job of that. But 556 00:28:35,550 --> 00:28:37,950 S1: a lot of this fear mongering, I mean, just that 557 00:28:37,990 --> 00:28:40,150 S1: Alcor quote that you gave, by the way, shows up 558 00:28:40,150 --> 00:28:42,990 S1: again at Davos this year. Um, he was off. He's 559 00:28:42,990 --> 00:28:44,750 S1: not a prophet. He's not the son of a prophet. 560 00:28:44,830 --> 00:28:48,110 S1: He makes this prediction about, you know, the 75% chance 561 00:28:48,110 --> 00:28:51,910 S1: the entire north polar ice cap is going to start 562 00:28:51,910 --> 00:28:56,150 S1: being ice free. Makes that statement in 2009. It's 2026. 563 00:28:56,150 --> 00:28:58,350 S1: And that has not happened. But it does raise some 564 00:28:58,350 --> 00:29:00,590 S1: interesting questions. Going back to what you said before about 565 00:29:00,590 --> 00:29:04,550 S1: NOAA sticking to this line that in fact, this accelerated 566 00:29:04,550 --> 00:29:07,150 S1: Arctic warming. And like you said, they call it an 567 00:29:07,150 --> 00:29:11,190 S1: Arctic amplification. Uh, for those of us who are not meteorologists, 568 00:29:11,230 --> 00:29:13,780 S1: just help us understand why in the world would we 569 00:29:13,780 --> 00:29:16,060 S1: think that? And I'm presuming all of this is bad, 570 00:29:16,100 --> 00:29:19,540 S1: terrible CO2 emissions. How would that have some kind of 571 00:29:19,580 --> 00:29:22,540 S1: an impact on the severity of our winter? My guess is, 572 00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:24,660 S1: and we need to start with the facts. First of all, 573 00:29:24,900 --> 00:29:27,220 S1: how long have we been keeping records of America's been 574 00:29:27,220 --> 00:29:29,940 S1: around for 250 years. Do we have 250 years worth 575 00:29:29,940 --> 00:29:32,940 S1: of weather in America? I don't think so. So how 576 00:29:33,020 --> 00:29:35,180 S1: are we deciding if this is the worst when you 577 00:29:35,180 --> 00:29:36,340 S1: don't have a baseline? 578 00:29:36,940 --> 00:29:39,340 S10: Well, that's that's the big thing. You know, this has 579 00:29:39,340 --> 00:29:41,380 S10: happened in the past in many, many cases. And as 580 00:29:41,380 --> 00:29:43,060 S10: a matter of fact, if you look at these weather reports, 581 00:29:43,060 --> 00:29:45,820 S10: they'll say, like South Florida just said, they had the 582 00:29:45,820 --> 00:29:47,780 S10: coldest weather since 1989. 583 00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:53,900 S1: Um that's nothing. 89 I mean, we go back like. Exactly. 584 00:29:54,540 --> 00:29:56,140 S10: Yeah, I think there was I'm trying to remember where 585 00:29:56,140 --> 00:29:58,620 S10: it was. It was the coldest in a hundred years. 586 00:29:58,620 --> 00:30:00,660 S10: I think it was one of the, um, one of 587 00:30:00,660 --> 00:30:04,380 S10: the states down, uh, in the middle Atlantic, the coldest 588 00:30:04,380 --> 00:30:08,900 S10: since since, uh, back in the early 20th century, that 589 00:30:08,900 --> 00:30:10,370 S10: sort of thing. So there are a number of these. 590 00:30:10,370 --> 00:30:14,050 S10: But but yeah, we do see this and, and um, 591 00:30:14,610 --> 00:30:19,690 S10: you know, as we've said before, um, these the whole 592 00:30:19,690 --> 00:30:25,170 S10: climate industry climate is driven by, um, this fair weather 593 00:30:25,170 --> 00:30:28,570 S10: and what's going on. It makes for good press. Uh, 594 00:30:28,570 --> 00:30:30,250 S10: but if you look back in history, you see, this 595 00:30:30,250 --> 00:30:32,170 S10: has happened before in many, many cases. As a matter 596 00:30:32,170 --> 00:30:33,890 S10: of fact, you see, it's been warmer in the past 597 00:30:33,890 --> 00:30:38,650 S10: than today, um, uh, in the summers and many times. 598 00:30:38,650 --> 00:30:40,690 S10: So even though even though we've had a little bit 599 00:30:40,690 --> 00:30:45,650 S10: of warming in the last 140 years, about two degrees Fahrenheit, 11. 600 00:30:45,650 --> 00:30:51,010 S10: two degrees Celsius, we've had many warmer periods in the past, and, um, 601 00:30:51,010 --> 00:30:52,930 S10: but we've got some folks out there that, you know, 602 00:30:52,970 --> 00:30:55,370 S10: want to be counting climate deaths now. 603 00:30:55,530 --> 00:30:56,570 S1: Yes, yes. 604 00:30:56,610 --> 00:30:57,770 S10: One of the latest things. 605 00:30:57,770 --> 00:30:59,890 S1: Uh, well, I wanted to talk about that because Hillary 606 00:30:59,890 --> 00:31:02,410 S1: Clinton's at the front of this again. And so if 607 00:31:02,450 --> 00:31:05,170 S1: you just take this, this declaration that we want to 608 00:31:05,210 --> 00:31:09,120 S1: track climate deaths, boy, you talk about tangentially in here. 609 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,440 S1: So if somebody dies and my heart breaks for the 610 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,600 S1: people who've been freezing to death in New York City. 611 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,800 S1: But hey, welcome to a socialist mayor. So if these 612 00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,520 S1: people die, do you get to say that it's directly 613 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,720 S1: attributable to, quote, climate? Or is it because they were 614 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,040 S1: homeless and didn't have a warm place to lay their 615 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,840 S1: head at night and they froze to death? I mean, 616 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,080 S1: how do you directly say cause and effect is climate change? 617 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:31,840 S1: You can't. 618 00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:33,920 S10: Well, that's right. And there's actually some people trying to 619 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,920 S10: put this on death certificates. Now that this was due 620 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,040 S10: to the climate, I think they've done it in a couple. 621 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,080 S10: But yeah, Miss Clinton uh, wanted has, has for a 622 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,120 S10: couple of years now wanted to count climate deaths. I 623 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,240 S10: think she learned from the Covid era. You know, every 624 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,640 S10: day you could look up and see the number of 625 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,360 S10: deaths from Covid and the number of cases. And so 626 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:56,160 S10: she wanted to do that. The thing is, though, that, um, 627 00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,440 S10: you know, when I go speak to audiences, I always 628 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,320 S10: ask them, what do you think is I don't always, 629 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:03,120 S10: but but often what you think is worth worse for 630 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,400 S10: people cold weather or warm weather. And they all get 631 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,030 S10: it right. It's cold weather is is is much worse 632 00:32:10,030 --> 00:32:14,750 S10: for human society than than the warm weather. Um, our 633 00:32:14,830 --> 00:32:18,070 S10: flu seasons are during the winter. Most more of the 634 00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:21,310 S10: Covid cases were both in the North and southern hemisphere 635 00:32:21,310 --> 00:32:24,590 S10: were during the cold months. We have more people dying 636 00:32:24,590 --> 00:32:26,670 S10: in just about every nation in the world during the 637 00:32:26,670 --> 00:32:31,830 S10: cold months than the warm months. So this fear man 638 00:32:31,870 --> 00:32:33,950 S10: made warming. As some have pointed out, if we have 639 00:32:33,950 --> 00:32:35,390 S10: a little bit of warming, we're going to have less 640 00:32:35,390 --> 00:32:39,870 S10: people die and people will be healthier overall. So it's 641 00:32:40,190 --> 00:32:42,750 S10: it's completely opposite to the to the fear of man 642 00:32:42,790 --> 00:32:47,510 S10: made warming that that people are pushing all the time. But, um, yeah, 643 00:32:47,510 --> 00:32:49,990 S10: it's just this is just a good old fashioned, very, 644 00:32:49,990 --> 00:32:52,790 S10: very tough winter. And people need to, uh, be very 645 00:32:52,790 --> 00:32:55,110 S10: careful and take it into account. 646 00:32:55,310 --> 00:32:57,990 S1: Yeah, exactly. Which is why we're all really, really angry 647 00:32:57,990 --> 00:33:00,750 S1: at Phil. Okay, he had the audacity to tell us 648 00:33:00,750 --> 00:33:03,790 S1: yesterday that we had six more weeks of winter. How 649 00:33:03,790 --> 00:33:08,660 S1: very dare he. So that raises a question. Yes, exactly. 650 00:33:09,180 --> 00:33:10,980 S10: They're in the process of putting in a whole bunch 651 00:33:10,980 --> 00:33:13,980 S10: of data centers in West Pennsylvania, and they're building all 652 00:33:13,980 --> 00:33:17,420 S10: these big new gas plants. They have one of them 653 00:33:17,420 --> 00:33:20,820 S10: that I think it's on the site is Homer, um, 654 00:33:21,020 --> 00:33:23,780 S10: which is is going to be the biggest gas plant 655 00:33:23,780 --> 00:33:25,900 S10: in the country, natural gas plant to power all these 656 00:33:25,900 --> 00:33:30,620 S10: data centers. Uh, and just another reason that the, the, 657 00:33:30,980 --> 00:33:34,580 S10: the folks that, that are worried about the climate are so, 658 00:33:34,580 --> 00:33:39,460 S10: so concerned because, uh, both the current administration and all 659 00:33:39,500 --> 00:33:44,260 S10: of the utilities now and even the big, uh, the 660 00:33:44,260 --> 00:33:48,220 S10: big high tech companies that pledge to be zero emissions, um, 661 00:33:48,540 --> 00:33:51,060 S10: are building these, these gas plants so they can run 662 00:33:51,060 --> 00:33:55,780 S10: their data centers. So it's it's just kind of overwhelming the, the, uh, 663 00:33:55,780 --> 00:33:58,860 S10: the climate, uh, effort that we've had going for the 664 00:33:58,860 --> 00:33:59,940 S10: last 20 years. 665 00:33:59,980 --> 00:34:02,100 S1: Exactly. I love it when we get to the data centers, 666 00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:04,340 S1: because you've been a great teacher to me on this, Steve. 667 00:34:04,380 --> 00:34:06,820 S1: So that raises a couple of issues. I very much 668 00:34:06,820 --> 00:34:09,620 S1: believe in the free market, which is great. But I 669 00:34:09,660 --> 00:34:11,779 S1: also think and I'm seeing a couple of states have 670 00:34:11,780 --> 00:34:15,180 S1: robust conversations about this. Then when these data centers come in, 671 00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:17,859 S1: they need to come with the caveat that says, and 672 00:34:17,860 --> 00:34:19,980 S1: you got to supply your own energy because as you've 673 00:34:20,020 --> 00:34:22,580 S1: taught me before, and I'll quote you, that this new 674 00:34:22,580 --> 00:34:24,980 S1: data center in northern Louisiana is going to take more 675 00:34:24,980 --> 00:34:27,980 S1: energy than the entirety of New Orleans. So if you're 676 00:34:27,980 --> 00:34:29,460 S1: going to have one of these big centers and we 677 00:34:29,500 --> 00:34:32,100 S1: got one right down the road, a piece here in Virginia, 678 00:34:32,620 --> 00:34:34,020 S1: if you're going to do this, you got to come 679 00:34:34,020 --> 00:34:37,300 S1: with your own power supply. Now, again, the reason why 680 00:34:37,340 --> 00:34:39,980 S1: I'm welcome. It's free market. You want to set one up. 681 00:34:39,980 --> 00:34:41,940 S1: That's terrific. But I don't think the person down the 682 00:34:41,940 --> 00:34:44,740 S1: street should see a big uptick in their energy bill. 683 00:34:44,860 --> 00:34:47,940 S1: Because we have to supply the energy for your data center. 684 00:34:47,940 --> 00:34:50,580 S1: That doesn't seem right to me. And yet, some states 685 00:34:50,580 --> 00:34:53,500 S1: are now saying this is going to be a necessary caveat. 686 00:34:53,540 --> 00:34:55,100 S1: You come into our state, you build one of these, 687 00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:57,140 S1: you're going to have to bring your own power. Number two, 688 00:34:57,180 --> 00:34:59,339 S1: isn't it interesting that none of these data centers are 689 00:34:59,340 --> 00:35:03,570 S1: talking about solar or wind to power their data centers. 690 00:35:03,610 --> 00:35:06,609 S1: That's that's like a preponderance of evidence against those kinds 691 00:35:06,610 --> 00:35:08,290 S1: of energy sources, it seems to me. 692 00:35:09,370 --> 00:35:14,049 S10: Well, you're you're right. And, um, uh, the head of Blackrock, 693 00:35:14,050 --> 00:35:19,450 S10: I think is, is his name Larry Fink? Is it, um, he, uh, 694 00:35:19,450 --> 00:35:21,650 S10: you know, he was very big on on green energy 695 00:35:21,650 --> 00:35:23,569 S10: for many, many years. And he started a whole bunch 696 00:35:23,570 --> 00:35:26,010 S10: of efforts. But he recently admitted that you can't run 697 00:35:26,010 --> 00:35:29,049 S10: data centers on wind and solar. You just can't do it. 698 00:35:29,050 --> 00:35:32,890 S10: They need 24 hours, seven day a week. Uh, power. 699 00:35:33,330 --> 00:35:35,810 S10: And that means you have to have dispatchable power. And 700 00:35:35,810 --> 00:35:37,410 S10: he said that as well. He's also ahead of the 701 00:35:37,410 --> 00:35:40,649 S10: World Economic Forum, which has been pushing green energy for 702 00:35:40,650 --> 00:35:44,129 S10: a long time. He's one of the co-chairs. So we 703 00:35:44,130 --> 00:35:45,850 S10: see all of the all of the world. Now we 704 00:35:45,850 --> 00:35:48,810 S10: have these, uh, leaders that are stepping back from these 705 00:35:48,810 --> 00:35:52,810 S10: policies because they just they just can't, uh, two different things. 706 00:35:52,810 --> 00:35:56,090 S10: They can't power data centers and the wealthy countries, and 707 00:35:56,450 --> 00:35:59,210 S10: they can't provide the energy needs and the developing countries. 708 00:35:59,250 --> 00:36:03,719 S10: So we still have 700 million people without electricity, and 709 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,640 S10: we need hydrocarbon fuels to get their get their lives 710 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,359 S10: in better, better position. 711 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:11,960 S1: Tell the people down in the Nashville area who still 712 00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,319 S1: don't have power. Wouldn't you like to be relying on 713 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,160 S1: solar panels right now or wind? By the way, all 714 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,680 S1: of this is addressed powerfully in your latest of your books. 715 00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:25,520 S1: Steve called Green Breakdown The Coming Renewable Energy Failure and 716 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,600 S1: why it is going to be a failure is for 717 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,920 S1: exactly the reason Steven has been talking about right now. 718 00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,279 S1: So let me take a break and come right back. 719 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,600 S1: By the way, go to our information page, Steve gorham.com. 720 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:37,200 S1: You can go to his website. Great information. He's written 721 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,919 S1: four books. The latest green breakdown right there on my 722 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:51,240 S1: info page back after this. We're visiting with Steve Gorham, 723 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,319 S1: who comes to visit on a regular basis. He's the 724 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,919 S1: executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America. He's 725 00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,589 S1: the author of four books on energy, climate change and 726 00:36:59,590 --> 00:37:03,109 S1: sustainable development. He's got over 100,000 copies in print, and 727 00:37:03,110 --> 00:37:06,910 S1: his latest book is called Green Breakdown The Coming Renewable 728 00:37:06,910 --> 00:37:11,430 S1: Energy Failure. On that note, you have made the observation 729 00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:13,989 S1: that you think that 2026 is going to be a 730 00:37:13,989 --> 00:37:16,430 S1: bad year for green energy. Why is that? 731 00:37:17,870 --> 00:37:20,069 S10: Yeah, there's just a whole number of things going on 732 00:37:20,110 --> 00:37:22,989 S10: that are a big impact. Uh, of course, we had 733 00:37:22,989 --> 00:37:26,870 S10: the one big beautiful bill which cut the, uh, investment 734 00:37:26,910 --> 00:37:32,150 S10: tax credits and the subsidies for wind and solar. Uh, 735 00:37:32,150 --> 00:37:34,710 S10: we have, uh, Mr. Trump, who's shutting off the offshore 736 00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:37,270 S10: wind or trying to do so. He's losing to the 737 00:37:37,270 --> 00:37:42,550 S10: courts in some cases. We have a slowdown in electric vehicles. And, uh, 738 00:37:42,550 --> 00:37:45,390 S10: so those are those are big, big impacts. And they're 739 00:37:45,390 --> 00:37:48,910 S10: going to impact, uh, a lot of the green economy. 740 00:37:50,390 --> 00:37:52,790 S1: Well, speaking of the economy, let's talk about those EVs, 741 00:37:52,790 --> 00:37:56,630 S1: because that's been such a big conversation. You pointed out 742 00:37:56,739 --> 00:37:59,339 S1: that the sales are down by 37% last time we 743 00:37:59,340 --> 00:38:01,580 S1: were together. I pointed out to you a survey. I 744 00:38:01,580 --> 00:38:04,580 S1: read that they asked people who had bought EV electric 745 00:38:04,580 --> 00:38:06,500 S1: vehicles whether or not they would ever buy one again, 746 00:38:06,540 --> 00:38:10,860 S1: and almost 50%. Steve said nope, no thanks. No way. So, um, 747 00:38:11,020 --> 00:38:12,540 S1: you know, I look at these people parked at a 748 00:38:12,580 --> 00:38:15,779 S1: charging station and I'm thinking, are you then reading a 749 00:38:15,820 --> 00:38:18,900 S1: Kindle at that point, as you take 25 to 30 750 00:38:18,900 --> 00:38:22,180 S1: minutes to recharge your car before you go? I just 751 00:38:22,180 --> 00:38:24,500 S1: for people who want everything in a hurry and why 752 00:38:24,500 --> 00:38:27,419 S1: we're not critically thinking, and we're using AI to do 753 00:38:27,460 --> 00:38:29,820 S1: our creative thinking for us and in so doing, dumbing 754 00:38:29,820 --> 00:38:32,940 S1: down our critical thinking skills. Who has 30 minutes to 755 00:38:32,980 --> 00:38:35,620 S1: sit in a charging station? This is so antithetical to 756 00:38:35,660 --> 00:38:37,660 S1: the pace of our rest of our lives. I can't 757 00:38:37,660 --> 00:38:40,100 S1: understand what the draw was, so talk to me about 758 00:38:40,100 --> 00:38:42,740 S1: how last quarter in particular, the sales were off. 759 00:38:43,700 --> 00:38:45,060 S10: Yeah, well, EV is going to be good if you 760 00:38:45,060 --> 00:38:47,859 S10: can charge at home and drive a short distance to work. 761 00:38:47,860 --> 00:38:49,700 S10: But yeah, if you've got to charge in a public area, 762 00:38:49,739 --> 00:38:52,859 S10: it's it's really tough. So so last year about this 763 00:38:52,860 --> 00:38:57,530 S10: time about 7% of, uh, of, uh, new vehicle sales 764 00:38:57,530 --> 00:39:00,609 S10: in the United States are electric vehicles. But then it 765 00:39:00,610 --> 00:39:04,170 S10: dropped off. And last summer it was down to about 6% share. 766 00:39:04,530 --> 00:39:06,489 S10: And then the one big beautiful bill came out and 767 00:39:06,489 --> 00:39:10,650 S10: cut off all subsidies. By September of last year, we 768 00:39:10,650 --> 00:39:12,209 S10: had a big rush to buy a few of these 769 00:39:12,210 --> 00:39:15,450 S10: so so people could get the tax credits, the $7,500 770 00:39:15,450 --> 00:39:18,210 S10: tax credit for new EV. But then after that ended 771 00:39:18,210 --> 00:39:21,450 S10: in September, just it just dropped off 37% down from 772 00:39:21,450 --> 00:39:24,850 S10: the year before. And now wow. You know, this weather 773 00:39:24,890 --> 00:39:27,569 S10: is the worst for electric vehicles. You get down to 774 00:39:27,570 --> 00:39:30,649 S10: about ten degrees Fahrenheit. And literally you cannot charge your 775 00:39:30,650 --> 00:39:35,290 S10: car unless you're in a heated facility. And, uh, so 776 00:39:35,489 --> 00:39:38,370 S10: we have people driving EVs around. They leave their heat, 777 00:39:38,370 --> 00:39:40,890 S10: their heaters off, you know, because they need the range. 778 00:39:40,890 --> 00:39:43,730 S10: So they're they're sitting in their cold car driving around. 779 00:39:44,290 --> 00:39:46,730 S1: And don't the batteries don't mean to interrupt you, but 780 00:39:46,730 --> 00:39:48,770 S1: don't the batteries get reactive in the cold weather, too? 781 00:39:48,770 --> 00:39:50,609 S1: Sometimes they just start on fire, don't they? 782 00:39:51,489 --> 00:39:54,480 S10: Well, I think it's more, um, If water gets in 783 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,839 S10: them and that sort of thing. I don't know what 784 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,080 S10: the temperature is, the big thing, but. But there is 785 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,759 S10: a fire issue with with electric, of course, but they 786 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:04,279 S10: really lose a lot of range and, and it's just very, 787 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,800 S10: very tough. They're going to get better and better. But, uh, 788 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,319 S10: I mean, the great thing now is Mr. Trump has 789 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:14,359 S10: rolled back the zero emissions vehicle mandates, which California and 790 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,799 S10: other states are put into place. Both both President Trump 791 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,680 S10: and Congress have shut those down last year. And and um, 792 00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:26,160 S10: so all of the anti-pollution laws have been thrown out. Now, 793 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,439 S10: the the EPA is the only one that can make 794 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,040 S10: pollution laws unless it grants a waiver to the states. 795 00:40:31,760 --> 00:40:34,239 S10: And so the Zev pressure has gone. So the good 796 00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:35,839 S10: news is that that people are going to have more 797 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,759 S10: opportunity to buy what they want. I think if they 798 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,520 S10: want an electric vehicle, they can get one. If they 799 00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,640 S10: want a, uh, internal combustion engine, they can't can as well. 800 00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,040 S10: But we won't have so many of these laws that 801 00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:50,840 S10: are trying to force people and force auto manufacturers only 802 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:54,630 S10: to sell EVs in the states. Yeah, that's just just 803 00:40:54,630 --> 00:40:55,630 S10: poor policy. 804 00:40:55,670 --> 00:40:59,029 S1: Again, the idea of a free market where you have 805 00:40:59,030 --> 00:41:01,230 S1: the opportunity to make choices as you're looking well to 806 00:41:01,230 --> 00:41:03,990 S1: the ways of your household to quote scripture. Well, speaking 807 00:41:03,989 --> 00:41:06,750 S1: of policy, talk about the fact that now we're stepping 808 00:41:06,750 --> 00:41:11,190 S1: back from the Paris climate accord, for sure. Um, and 809 00:41:11,230 --> 00:41:14,390 S1: we're withdrawing from the Green Climate Fund. I mean, again, 810 00:41:14,390 --> 00:41:17,750 S1: people are policy. That was a policy previous administration thought 811 00:41:17,750 --> 00:41:20,030 S1: was a good idea. It was going to be extremely 812 00:41:20,030 --> 00:41:22,390 S1: costly to the average American citizen for us to be 813 00:41:22,390 --> 00:41:25,190 S1: a participant. And not only that, but there are multiple planets, 814 00:41:25,670 --> 00:41:28,509 S1: multiple countries. Last time I checked on planet Earth. So 815 00:41:28,510 --> 00:41:31,430 S1: if India or China don't control their pollutant levels and 816 00:41:31,430 --> 00:41:33,589 S1: the United States does, then what difference does it make? 817 00:41:33,590 --> 00:41:35,710 S1: If you have a climate accord? Because it's one planet 818 00:41:35,710 --> 00:41:36,669 S1: and one atmosphere? 819 00:41:37,150 --> 00:41:39,710 S10: Well, that's the thing. To your last point, China's emissions 820 00:41:39,710 --> 00:41:43,950 S10: just keeps skyrocketing. Um, China coal plants now are putting 821 00:41:43,950 --> 00:41:47,670 S10: out more carbon dioxide than all of the US. Um, 822 00:41:47,670 --> 00:41:50,629 S10: and we have the developing world also is going up very, 823 00:41:50,630 --> 00:41:53,670 S10: very fast. US and Europe's emissions are falling, but we're 824 00:41:53,670 --> 00:41:55,710 S10: going to be very small. We're about 10% of the 825 00:41:55,710 --> 00:42:00,550 S10: world emissions right now. And you know, the developing world 826 00:42:00,550 --> 00:42:05,350 S10: needs to needs hydrocarbon energy to to grow and to prosper. 827 00:42:05,910 --> 00:42:10,270 S10: But you're right. Just in January, Trump withdrew from 66 828 00:42:10,830 --> 00:42:17,710 S10: international organizations. He issued an executive executive order saying calling 829 00:42:17,989 --> 00:42:21,469 S10: for withdrawing the United States from international organizations, conventions and 830 00:42:21,469 --> 00:42:25,270 S10: treaties that are contrary to the interests of the United States. 831 00:42:26,070 --> 00:42:30,070 S10: And he's cutting funding to a whole whole bunch of these. Uh, 832 00:42:30,150 --> 00:42:32,469 S10: the United Nations just reported last week that they have 833 00:42:32,469 --> 00:42:35,870 S10: a big they have a big deficit. Now they they're 834 00:42:35,910 --> 00:42:38,110 S10: off about a billion and a half dollars or short 835 00:42:38,550 --> 00:42:44,230 S10: for their funding. And then, uh, you're right, you're right. Also, 836 00:42:44,270 --> 00:42:46,910 S10: we withdrew from the Green Climate Fund, another one of 837 00:42:46,910 --> 00:42:49,580 S10: these groups that the US U.S. was putting money into. 838 00:42:50,340 --> 00:42:54,060 S10: And US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said, quote, 839 00:42:54,100 --> 00:42:57,700 S10: our nation will no longer fund radical organizations like the GCF, 840 00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:01,980 S10: whose goals run contrary to the fact that affordable, reliable 841 00:43:01,980 --> 00:43:06,580 S10: energy is fundamental to economic growth and poverty reduction. So 842 00:43:07,020 --> 00:43:09,980 S10: we are. And by the way, Trump also withdrew from 843 00:43:09,980 --> 00:43:13,660 S10: the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. Yeah, there 844 00:43:13,700 --> 00:43:16,299 S10: are 198 nations now in that. And we are the 845 00:43:16,300 --> 00:43:17,899 S10: only one who has withdrawn. 846 00:43:18,540 --> 00:43:18,940 S3: Wow. 847 00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:23,580 S1: Wow. That's amazing. So, Steve, let me in. The minute 848 00:43:23,580 --> 00:43:25,299 S1: that we've got left, let me bring this home for 849 00:43:25,300 --> 00:43:27,540 S1: us as followers of Christ. And why this is germane. 850 00:43:27,540 --> 00:43:29,380 S1: I believe there is no question that we are to 851 00:43:29,380 --> 00:43:32,020 S1: be good stewards of the earth. We're to take good 852 00:43:32,020 --> 00:43:36,260 S1: care of God's creation. We hear these stories and it's 853 00:43:36,260 --> 00:43:39,779 S1: ridiculous because, again, do we want someone to tell us 854 00:43:39,780 --> 00:43:41,460 S1: what kind of a stove we can cook on, or 855 00:43:41,460 --> 00:43:43,259 S1: what kind of a car we can drive? For the 856 00:43:43,260 --> 00:43:45,819 S1: average believer who wants to be obedient wants to take 857 00:43:45,820 --> 00:43:48,489 S1: care of the creation. What's something that we can do 858 00:43:48,489 --> 00:43:50,170 S1: so that we feel like we're part of the solution 859 00:43:50,170 --> 00:43:51,170 S1: and not the problem? 860 00:43:52,770 --> 00:43:56,130 S10: Well, I think I do think that Christians need to 861 00:43:56,130 --> 00:43:58,210 S10: take take a second thought. And it's a shame so 862 00:43:58,210 --> 00:44:00,650 S10: many Christians believe in the theory of man made climate change. 863 00:44:00,650 --> 00:44:03,450 S10: But the Lord God is in control of the climate, 864 00:44:03,450 --> 00:44:07,250 S10: not humans. And people ought to get my book green 865 00:44:07,250 --> 00:44:11,770 S10: Break Down the the Coming Renewable Energy failure, and it'll 866 00:44:11,770 --> 00:44:14,650 S10: give them the real the real facts. And also a 867 00:44:14,650 --> 00:44:19,410 S10: lot of funny sidebars too, as well of the crazy headlines. Uh, 868 00:44:19,770 --> 00:44:20,610 S10: man made warming. 869 00:44:21,090 --> 00:44:25,010 S1: Yes. Like, should we send fewer emails that somehow it'll 870 00:44:25,010 --> 00:44:27,370 S1: save the planet? That was BBC news you point out 871 00:44:27,370 --> 00:44:30,410 S1: back in 2020, Steve. Thank you. These conversations always go 872 00:44:30,410 --> 00:44:32,689 S1: so quickly. Thank you for giving us the facts, ma'am. 873 00:44:32,690 --> 00:44:35,609 S1: Just the facts. Dragnet. If you don't know it, Google it. 874 00:44:35,610 --> 00:44:37,569 S1: But again, your latest book is worth the read. It's 875 00:44:37,570 --> 00:44:40,410 S1: called Green Breakdown The Coming Renewable Energy Failure right there 876 00:44:40,410 --> 00:44:42,730 S1: on my info page. Thank you Steve. Thank you friends. 877 00:44:42,730 --> 00:44:44,450 S1: We'll see you next time on In the Market with 878 00:44:44,450 --> 00:44:45,290 S1: Janet Parshall.
