Speaker 1: All right. We are just a day before Thanksgiving.

19
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: We are less than two months from the beginning of

20
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: the Trump presidency, at least Trump two point zero presidency,

21
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: and a long time ago. I was reminded when I

22
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: first came to Washington and met this Democrat, he was

23
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: a Congressman from New Mexico named Bill Richardson, and he said, John,

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: as energy goes, so goes the country. And today we're

25
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 2: going to dig a deeper dive. And what that means

26
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 2: in the year twenty twenty four, our energy needs are

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: higher than ever, if we're going to win the AI

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: War with China, if we're going to make prices come down,

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: and end energy poverty in America. Tonight we're going to

30
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: have that very conversation with some of the best experts

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: we can find on the planet. Now, before we get

32
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: to them, let me turn to my amazing coos Amanda Head,

33
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: who comes in every point at this show and tells

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 2: us about some headlines of Amanda, you know what's on

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: your mind. I think you've got a lot to think

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 2: about with energy these days as well.

37
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 5: And while we focus on the revival of the American

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 5: energy sector tonight, we're also going to take a look

41
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 5: at what the left is saying about it. And to

42
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 5: put it simply, while they're really not happy about Republicans

43
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 5: plan to ramp up energy because instead of worrying about

44
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 5: things like increasing American energy production to cut down on

45
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 5: costs for all Americans, slash inflation, and rely less on

46
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 5: other foreign powers, all of which I think most Americans.

47
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 6: Would agree a good things.

48
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 5: But they are worried about climate change. They are so

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 5: worried about it, in fact, that many Democrats and members

50
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 5: of the Biden administration were in attendance at the UN's

51
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 5: Top twenty nine Climate summit just two weeks ago, and

52
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 5: they said some things that just really don't make sense.

53
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 5: Thank for example, Democrat Senator Sheldon Whitehouse who claimed that

54
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 5: there is no way to bring down the cost of oil.

55
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: Check it out.

56
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 7: You simply cannot have energy security if you are dependent

57
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 7: on a product whose price you can't control domestically. When

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 7: a foreign cartel drives the price of oil and gas,

59
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 7: it will always be out of America's control. That is

60
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 7: not energy security.

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 5: Unless you buy American and then, of course the price

62
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 5: goes down. But it is very clear that doesn't really

63
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 5: know exactly what he's talking about, because if America starts

64
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 5: producing more oil, more natural gas, really any kind of energy,

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 5: and exports that out to the rest of the world,

66
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: we can now set the price of energy around the world,

67
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 5: and we did that under the first Trump administration. They

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 5: also talked a lot at the conference about China, and

69
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 5: they claim that if America produces more oil, it actually

70
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 5: plays right into China's hands. And again I don't think

71
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 5: they know what they're talking about. Here's President Trump's pick

72
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 5: for Interior Secretary, Doug Bergham, explaining how producing more oil

73
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 5: does not help China, it hurts it.

74
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 8: This administration had blinking, yelling and Kerry go over there

75
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 8: this summer, and none of them talked about energy with China.

76
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 8: China imports ten million barrels of oil every day.

77
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: They're the largest importer in the world.

78
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 8: We have an opportunity to be energy dominant in the

79
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 8: United States. If you're going to have a negotiation with China,

80
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 8: the first thing on the table is energy. And instead,

81
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 8: we've got an energy policy in this country that I

82
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 8: think was written by China. Because we're trying to kill

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 8: the US energy industry, moved all evs and then buy

84
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 8: all our batteries from China. If we're trying to strategically decouple,

85
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 8: then why do we have an energy policy which is

86
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 8: not good for the environment, Because China's making those batteries

87
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 8: by tearing up the whole planet. In the Congo, in

88
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 8: Indonesia and then they're building them in factories that are

89
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 8: powered by coal, because they're opening a coal plant every

90
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,119
Speaker 8: two weeks in China.

91
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 5: Now it brofer the notion that with the exception of

92
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 5: folks like Joe manchinin maybe a few other Democrats, they

93
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 5: really don't seem to have a grasp on what energy

94
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: production means for this country and it's further effects on

95
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 5: our economy. But we're going to talk all about that

96
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 5: and much more on today's special episode of Just the

97
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 5: New no Noise. So, John, I'm going to turn it

98
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 5: back over to you so we can deal.

99
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 9: With our first guest.

100
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: Boy that great conversation with Governor Burgham, he really gets it.

101
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: He sets a smart guy, an entrepreneur. That's the sort

102
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: of guy that's going to make history in the next

103
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: four years as the energies are.

104
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: You know, nowhere in.

105
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: America is the debate and to be more intense or

106
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: important in the next six months and in Congress when

107
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: it comes to energy. We got a perfect first guest

108
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: to kick us off on that journey. What an exciting

109
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 2: time to be a conversation about what's around the corner. Yes,

110
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: it's the eve before Thanksgiving, but twenty twenty five has

111
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 2: so much promise for the American people.

112
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: And I've been up on capitolholl a lot lately.

113
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 2: Such focus, such focus on what the mission needs to be,

114
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 2: what needs to be done. Very lucky to be joined

115
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: by a member from Congress from one of my favorite states,

116
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 2: the great state of Minnesota, Congressman Pete Stopper. Congressman, good

117
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,599
Speaker 2: to have you on, sir.

118
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 9: It's great to be with you. John and Amanda. Thanks

119
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 9: for having me.

120
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: It's a great honor.

121
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: You have done so much to help us understand over

122
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 2: the last couple of years the relationship between energy and

123
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: natural resources and what it costs us downstream, because if

124
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: gas prices or mineral prices go up, everything downstream becomes

125
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: more expensive. Is next year the day of the year

126
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: that the inflation dials get turned down?

127
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 9: Well, listen, I'm excited about the opportunity for next year.

128
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 9: You know what, we just came out the election of

129
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 9: the American people voted the Republicans into the House and

130
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 9: the taken over the Senate, and of course to President

131
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 9: Trump in the world White House. As our forty seven president.

132
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 9: I think that we have an opportunity and I think

133
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 9: a responsibility to put America back on track, and that

134
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 9: means energy independent, critical mineral dominance. We need to be

135
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 9: a mining powerhouse. We need to secure our borders, have

136
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 9: a foreign policy that supports and protects America and our allies.

137
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 9: And the list continues to go on and on, and

138
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 9: I'm really really excited about this opportunity. You know, we've

139
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 9: had a conference elections late last week and they went

140
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 9: very smooth. As I say, I think on the Republic

141
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 9: in the Republican House, there's peace in our valley, and

142
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 9: we want to deliver for the American people.

143
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: Pretty exciting, absolutely, sir.

144
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 5: I want to ask you about what this administration is

145
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 5: going to look like with kind of a new veneer

146
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 5: on it, because we look back to twenty sixteen and

147
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 5: Americans ever since then have become really accustomed to having

148
00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 5: business people move into Washington and takeover industries. And Chris

149
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 5: Wright as the nominee for Energy Secretary, if he is confirmed,

150
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 5: he'll be the first time and energy executive steps into

151
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 5: that role. How consequential will that be?

152
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 9: Well, I think it's really good, going to be really consequential.

153
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 9: You know, President Trump has put forth these men and

154
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 9: women that he believes can lead their respective agencies in

155
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 9: a way that puts America first, that fits his agenda

156
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 9: and our agenda, the American agenda. So I'm excited. You know,

157
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 9: the Senate has excuse me, Senate has a lot of

158
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 9: work to do, and you know, come January twentieth, they'll

159
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 9: be confirming these nominees. But I think the most important

160
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 9: thing that we can do is as a Republican party

161
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 9: is get ready for day one.

162
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: Don't.

163
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 9: We're not spinning up on day one. We're already preparing legislation,

164
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 9: our priorities, what we need to do to get America

165
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 9: back on track right away. And I know that President

166
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 9: Trump agrees with that. He does not want to spinning

167
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 9: our wheels. You know, we've got a country to save,

168
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 9: and save it we will.

169
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's such a unanimity of what the agenda is

170
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: going to be next year. It's going to be very

171
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: interesting to watch Congress get through it quickly. So you

172
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: talk about mining, and it's such an important thing. When

173
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 2: we were reminded last week of some of the short

174
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 2: sightedness of the Obama Biden years back a decade.

175
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: Ago, there were these a one to two three agreements.

176
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: We gave a whole bunch of contracts to Russia to

177
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: sell us there uranium, which made our utilities dependent on it.

178
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: And now that Russia's mad at us, they're cutting off

179
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: that supply, leaving our utilities in some pretty big danger

180
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: cuse we kind of closed down our uranium industry. Here,

181
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 2: what are the important places where mining in America needs

182
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 2: to go?

183
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: I know, copper uranium or two. I hear a lot.

184
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 9: Well, I think that mining is going to happen throughout

185
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 9: the country. You know, the Biden Harris administration has been

186
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 9: the most anti mining administration in the history of this country,

187
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 9: and we're seeing it. Look at what China did they stop?

188
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 9: They stop selling us their antimony. That antimony is used

189
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 9: for semi chip conductor production and use in our military

190
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 9: explosive ordinances. And and we have antimony in our country.

191
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 9: We just have to have the willingness to mine it.

192
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 9: So you're going to see a Trump administration that's going

193
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 9: to put uh going to make America energy dependent in

194
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 9: a mineral powerhouse, a critical mineral powerhouse, a mining powerhouse.

195
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 9: We have we have opportunities not only in northeastn Minnesota,

196
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 9: we have opportunities in North Dakota, South Dakota, the Great

197
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 9: State of Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and

198
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 9: the list continues.

199
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: To go on and on.

200
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 9: You're going to see a renaissance in mining and there's

201
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 9: going to be a change of mindset by the American people.

202
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 9: You know, if it's not grown or if it's not mine,

203
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 9: it doesn't exist. And our really well respected senator from Minnesota,

204
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 9: Senator David Tomasoti, always use that before he passed, and

205
00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 9: so I use it here on the hill. If it's

206
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 9: not mine or grown, it doesn't exist. And we have

207
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 9: the biggest untapped copper nickel find in the world in

208
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 9: northeast Minnesota called it's in the Ghluoth Complex and the

209
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 9: Biden administration basically has shut down in band mining and

210
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 9: that's going to be reversed.

211
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 1: That's exciting, big news, sir.

212
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 5: There are states like your home state of Minnesota and

213
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 5: others across this country that when energy supplies are sparse,

214
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 5: especially during the wintertime, that can really really hurt your

215
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 5: thoughts on Russia announcing that they are going to be

216
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 5: limiting the exports to our country of enriched uranium. I

217
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 5: know that some of the deliveries have already taken place,

218
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 5: and they are already set for much of this winter.

219
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 5: But are you concerned that is going to dampen the

220
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 5: imports and dampen the ability to deliver energy to people

221
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 5: like in your state of Minnesota.

222
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 9: Well absolutely, I mean, we give you example, the state

223
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 9: of Arkansas. Fifty percent of their energy is nuclear and

224
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 9: they purchased one hundred percent of the uranium from Russia.

225
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 9: It's simply unacceptable. You know, it was lack next year,

226
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 9: a year and a half away, actually that I asked

227
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 9: the under Secretary of Energy and the Department of Defense.

228
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 9: I said, what happens if the communist country of China

229
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 9: or other adversarial nations stop selling us to critical minerals?

230
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 9: They said, it would be devastating and dangerous for our country.

231
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 9: Here we are because of the Biden administration. Our country

232
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 9: is behind the eight ball. We've got to catch up.

233
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 9: You know. We have to have permitting reform which will

234
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 9: allow us to not only mine, but process and manufacture

235
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 9: right here in the United States. The Biden administration has

236
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 9: been devastating to the security, the national security of this country,

237
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 9: and we don't have time to waste and I look

238
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 9: forward to the one hundred and nineteenth Congress to change

239
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 9: the direction putting America first, sir.

240
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: One of the other things, I know you've been keeping

241
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 2: an eye in your own state because a lot of

242
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 2: Democrats there is election integrity. You can tell us a

243
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: little bit about things that you've seen in your state

244
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:54,599
Speaker 2: that make you a little uncomfortable.

245
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 9: Well, first off, I mean, we need to have free

246
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 9: and fair elections, elections that the citizens can agree with

247
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 9: and will accept them. And right now there's been some

248
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 9: discrepancies in the state of Minnesota. I'm leading a letter

249
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 9: in our delegation to ask our Secretary of State to

250
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 9: look into some of these irregularities that happened during the election. Again,

251
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 9: we want free and fair elections, and we want every

252
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 9: legal vote to count right and every illegal vote not

253
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 9: to count. And we can do that by you know,

254
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 9: putting forth, for instance, identification to vote. You know, I'm

255
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 9: you know, citizenship to vote in federal elections. And I

256
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 9: think that's where the Republicans are looking in the one

257
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 9: hundred nineteenth Congress to put forward those real, real simple

258
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 9: recommendations and legislation that will allow our election results to

259
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 9: be really accepted. By all Americans, so very important.

260
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 5: I love this conversation with election integrity and election security,

261
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 5: national security. I want to ask you quickly before we

262
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 5: let you go, with respective energy security and how that

263
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 5: can impact food prices down the road for the American citizens.

264
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 5: A lot of people don't draw that line, but I

265
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 5: know that you can do that very well for us.

266
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 9: Well, absolutely, it's real simple. I mean, if you stop,

267
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 9: you know, oil exploration and oil production, what's going to

268
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 9: happen is your diesel and gas prices are going to

269
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 9: go up, which is going to cost the food prices

270
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 9: are going to go up. The truckers are not going

271
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 9: to the trucking companies aren't going to eat that. They're

272
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 9: going to pass it on to who we the consumer,

273
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 9: And it just falls down to the American people. And

274
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 9: we're seeing that. It is devastation. It's devastating. And on

275
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 9: the campaign trail, we talked about that we are going

276
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 9: to make energy affordable reliable for the American people, and

277
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 9: they voted for us because we told them we're going

278
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 9: to do that. Now we have to deliver, and I

279
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 9: believe with all certainty we're going to deliver that energy independence,

280
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 9: that affordability, for the middle class and the lower class

281
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 9: so they can live the American dream. And that's our goal.

282
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 9: And that's the opportunity and again responsibility that I think

283
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 9: we have.

284
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 2: So do we think we'll get some refiner reason the

285
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: next four years too, because I know that's a big concern,

286
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,960
Speaker 2: our ability to refine gas and oil.

287
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: Do you think that's possible?

288
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 9: Yes, it is, John, I mean, we don't have the

289
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 9: refining capacity ran out to beat our needs. And again

290
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 9: we talk about permitting and processing and refining. That's absolutely

291
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 9: part of it. And again we have the opportunity. We

292
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 9: have the natural resources, John, and a manna to harness

293
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 9: the energy in the oil and gas and the minerals

294
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 9: right under our feet here in the United States of America.

295
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 9: And when we have the political will, and we will

296
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 9: under the Trump administration, we can do all those things

297
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 9: that we told the American people that we would do.

298
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: It's a big moment.

299
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: I think next Thanksgivin, We're going to have a lot

300
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: more to be thankful for. So we are thankful for

301
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: all the time you spend with us over the course,

302
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: and you're making us smarter here on this new show.

303
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: And we want to wish you and your family. A

304
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 2: happy Thanksgi, thanks for joining us, sir. All right, folks

305
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: will take a quick commercial break, will be right back

306
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: after these messages.

307
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: Welcome back to America.

308
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: You just heard Congressman stobb Er say how the role

309
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 2: that energy and mining and gas exploration are going to

310
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: play in the Trump economy, the Trump two point zero experience.

311
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: Getting energy fixed has a downstream impact on everything else

312
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: in the country. But one of the things is more

313
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 2: energy production and more energy demand goes up. Is a

314
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: creaky grad, and we do have an old creaky grad.

315
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: Let's be honest about it. It's taking a lot of

316
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 2: time to get it up to date. Is going to

317
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: need to be fixed. Our next guest is one of

318
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: the true innovators in this space. Grids that used to

319
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 2: take ten years to get built, heat builds now in

320
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: nine days, joining us from the great company Voltagrid. It's

321
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: president and CEO, Nathan. Great to have you back on

322
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: the show.

323
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, John and Amanda. It's much a pleasure.

324
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 1: You lit it up the last time you're here.

325
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: I think people were so surprised to find that Wait

326
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: a second, you can build a grid in a few months,

327
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: and you can get through the regulatory process quickly remind

328
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 2: people why these more portable, modular grids are so important

329
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: in the era that we're in right now.

330
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 10: Well, I think if you think about all of the

331
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 10: electrification movement in the US and whether that's onshoring manufacturing

332
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 10: or a lot of the data center demand that's growing

333
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 10: across multiple states across the US, or you look at

334
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 10: the ev transition and the burden that that's putting on

335
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 10: the grid, ultimately you're seeing the largest power draw increases

336
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 10: that the US is seen in decades being applied to

337
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 10: the grid, and in which the speed of which it's

338
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 10: being applied as well is ultimately putting a strain on

339
00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 10: the grid that just can't be fulfilled in conventional manner,

340
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 10: whether that's grid build out or.

341
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: Of grid and grid enhancement programs.

342
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 10: And so I think we're entering a phase where it's

343
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 10: truly exciting, but paired with a big challenge ahead when

344
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 10: we think about grid stability and demand demand response.

345
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,239
Speaker 5: Nathan, I love to visualize these things, and I think

346
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 5: when the American people think about the electrical grid, it's

347
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 5: kind of this nebulous, vague idea of what it even

348
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: looks like when you guys had this rapid production and

349
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 5: deployment of these grids.

350
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 3: What does it look like?

351
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 5: What all is involved?

352
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 10: You know, as we think about our kind of modular

353
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 10: grids that we designed built across the US, you know,

354
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 10: the smallest size setups would be like a city of

355
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 10: kind of twenty to thirty thousand people something that example

356
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 10: we're doing in Homa, Louisiana for a grid reinforcement program

357
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 10: for hurricane response. What's happened over the last ultimately nine

358
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 10: to twelve months is we've seen the draw from the

359
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 10: data center industry growing our installation installations up to two

360
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 10: to three four hundred megwatts at a time, which, to

361
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 10: give you a marker, is a small city. And we're

362
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 10: doing that development in anywhere from nine to twelve months,

363
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 10: standing up that entire grid, and so it's truly remarkable

364
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 10: that conventional program would take years and years, you know,

365
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 10: almost north of five to ten years, and we're doing

366
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 10: it in months now, no longer years. So it is

367
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 10: truly remarkable, and it's really an innovation that's been baked

368
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 10: here in the US.

369
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been baked in your company. I mean, what

370
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 2: you've done is so remarkable. I want to talk a

371
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: little bit about the national security component of the grid,

372
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: and we always talk about their vulnerabilities.

373
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Of course we know that.

374
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 2: But in order to stay up with China in the

375
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: artificial intelligence race it's going to dominate the next generation

376
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 2: of this world, we got to produce power at levels

377
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: we can't even begin to imagine.

378
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: China is a little bit ahead of us on that.

379
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 2: How do these micro grids and what you're doing help

380
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: us catch up quicker so that we stay on pair

381
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 2: with one of our great rivals.

382
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 10: Are Like, if we think about the US competitive advantage,

383
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 10: we think about winning the race against the AI race

384
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 10: against China, there's really one critical input that is going

385
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 10: to solve that, and and that's power. You know, you

386
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 10: think about your your AI chips. You know they run

387
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 10: on electricity. You know, ensuring manufacturing runs on electricity. EV's

388
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 10: run on electricity. So there truly is one fundamental component

389
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 10: that it has to go into the equation UH for

390
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 10: to win the race against China, And and that's building

391
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 10: resilient grid. That's building out the capacity, that's building out

392
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 10: the ability to generate locally when you have transmission distribution problems,

393
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 10: and and that's it you know, a focused government on

394
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 10: driving innovation and driving generation, uh will be the number

395
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 10: one key to winning the race uh right across America.

396
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nathan.

397
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 5: When you have a great technology like your company does,

398
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 5: it's also very helpful when you have a business climate

399
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 5: that is conducive to success.

400
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: What is it like for you?

401
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 5: What has it been the last four years as a

402
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 5: business owner under the Biden administration? And what do you

403
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 5: hope is going to change with President Trump at the top,

404
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 5: and how that can maybe alleviate some of the regulations

405
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 5: and some of the red tape you have to cut through.

406
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 5: Do you anticipate it's going to get better?

407
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: Yeah?

408
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 10: Look, you know, well when we started the company four

409
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 10: years ago, we truly did start it out of our garage.

410
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 10: And I think of how we've morphed and grown over

411
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 10: the last three years in a government situation that you know,

412
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 10: likely wasn't as friendly to fossil fuel development or you know,

413
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 10: clean natural gas power plant development. As I think about

414
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 10: the next foward, you know, looking years, I don't think

415
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 10: we could be in a better position or a better place.

416
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: You know.

417
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 10: Ultimately, volte Grade is probably one of the largest power

418
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 10: providers to the oil and gas industry to reduce emissions

419
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 10: in the American shale industry. You know, you're pairing that

420
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 10: innovation and that success story to enable the American AI

421
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 10: data center industry to go faster and harder to win

422
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 10: the race against China. I think you really can't fundamentally

423
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 10: take two better industries in the US, which is the

424
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 10: American shale industry coupled with American data center industry to

425
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 10: be the ultimate winner and to succeed as a as

426
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 10: a country. So you know, I'm super excited about the

427
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 10: next four years. I think we're going to have a fantastic,

428
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 10: very supportive government that's going to line us up to

429
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 10: make great capital investments and really prosper as a country

430
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 10: and as a team.

431
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 2: I've been making this prediction for a while, and a

432
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 2: man and I talk about this a lot, and I've

433
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: even talked about it with President Trump, because I actually

434
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: think that the Trump Administration's approach to energy is actually

435
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,439
Speaker 2: going to lower emissions and be more environmentally friendly than

436
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 2: all the experiments of the twins and dollars spent thus

437
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: far to do it with a smart grid like what

438
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 2: volta good builds with natural gas and now maybe some

439
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 2: more nuclear coming online, power generation go up, and carbon

440
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: emissions can go down, and it can be seamless. Right,

441
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: it doesn't have to be a twenty five year transition.

442
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 3: That's absolutely correct.

443
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 10: And as you think about what we've already achieved by

444
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 10: electrifying the oil and gas industry, and if I go

445
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 10: into some of the drillian completions work that we've done,

446
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 10: you know, as we just do a simple conversion from

447
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 10: a diesel based elect track operation to one of our

448
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 10: many electric track operations that we have running, you know,

449
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 10: we're reducing emissions anywhere from thirty to forty percent on

450
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 10: that operation and reducing costs, increasing competitive nature, and increasing safety.

451
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 10: So you take what we've already done in the US

452
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 10: shale industry and you apply that to AI, to data centers,

453
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 10: to the mining industry across the US.

454
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: Like, it's a win for all.

455
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 10: It's a win for the economy, it's a you know,

456
00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 10: because we manufacture locally here in the US. It's a

457
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 10: win for our employees, it's a win for our vendors

458
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 10: or US vendors, and it's a win for the country.

459
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: Amazing Nathan.

460
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 5: On November fifth, when President Trump was elected, he was

461
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 5: elected for many reasons, But I think his energy policies

462
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 5: are something that really stood out to a lot of people,

463
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 5: especially when you contrast it with the ridiculousness of green

464
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 5: energy and putting the cart before the horse and all

465
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 5: of those destructive policies to our own energy economy with

466
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 5: respect to emissions. When it comes to the green lobby,

467
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 5: the clean energy lobby, the climate change lobby, I would

468
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 5: like to think that with that mandate delivered on November fifth,

469
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 5: that they would kind of like duck back into the shadows.

470
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,239
Speaker 5: I don't think that's the case, though. How are they

471
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 5: going to pivot, especially in light of amazing technology like

472
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 5: yours that does actually reduce emissions.

473
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

474
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 10: Look, I ultimately think the world really needs to stop

475
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 10: thinking about energy transition and start thinking more about energy addition.

476
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 10: You know, ultimately, there's never been a point in time

477
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 10: in human history where we've consumed less energy tomorrow as

478
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 10: we did the prior day. And so there's a role

479
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 10: for solar, there's a world for wind, for SMRs, for nuclear,

480
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 10: for fossil fuels, and ultimately I think everything will play

481
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 10: a part and component. But my belief is that you know,

482
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 10: each each energy input into the equation has to stand

483
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 10: on its own two economic legs, because we're no longer

484
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 10: an environment where where the federal government can afford to

485
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 10: subsidize capitally inefficient energy sources, and so the best solution

486
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 10: that's best for the country, that's made in the country,

487
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 10: that benefits the country in itself, should win. And I

488
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 10: think we've entered a time where that the Trump administration

489
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 10: is going to support kind of an all of the

490
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 10: above energy solution right across the board.

491
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: One of the things I hear a lot, Nathan, when

492
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 2: I'm up on Capitol Hill and even when I'm in

493
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 2: the Trump transition team talking to people regulatory reform, NEPA reform,

494
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: things that were meant to be good for the environment

495
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: but have slowed down actually environmentally friendly projects.

496
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: Do you think this is.

497
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: A moment where some really good regulatory reform can still

498
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 2: protect the country but get things sped up a lot,

499
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: a lot faster.

500
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: I absolutely agree.

501
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 10: I think I think we're entering a period where enhanced

502
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 10: government efficiency, with a good capital structure, lower regulations will

503
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 10: ultimately achieve what we need to achieve as as a

504
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 10: as a as a as a country, and as a

505
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 10: group of citizens. And so you know, I am very

506
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 10: optimistic for the next next next four years, And I

507
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 10: think you've seen a lot of this play out in

508
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 10: the in the U S. Shail industry, where you know,

509
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:43,239
Speaker 10: we've done a fantastic job at reducing emissions, you know,

510
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 10: but we're not being compensated for that reduction. We're doing

511
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 10: it because it is the best solution that's in the market,

512
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 10: and capitalism in an efficient system.

513
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:53,719
Speaker 3: Is driving that change.

514
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 10: And my hope is we will see that going forward

515
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 10: and really to the health of the economy.

516
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing for folks who are excited to learn about

517
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people were blown away the

518
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 2: last time you came on just what.

519
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: You're actually doing.

520
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 2: What's the best way for people to get information on

521
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 2: what you're doing at Faltegrid.

522
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 10: Yeah, I think we do a great job of keeping

523
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 10: our website up to date. Our LinkedIn is very active

524
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 10: and always looking to feel free to reach out and

525
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 10: always looking forward to discuss the story and tell a

526
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 10: story more.

527
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty exciting. Well, we sure appreciate the time

528
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 2: you spent with us, Nathan. This is a really innovative

529
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: moment in the history and you're playing you're on the

530
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:32,400
Speaker 2: front and edges of that. I think it's really exciting.

531
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 2: We'll get you back on after the first year to

532
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 2: keep up on things. All right, We're gonna take a

533
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,000
Speaker 2: quick commercial break when we come back to President of

534
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 2: the US A Gas Association. One of our good friends,

535
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 2: Tim Stewart's going to be here. We got a lot

536
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: to talk about. Drill, Baby, drill, everybody's saying it now.

537
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that right.

538
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:46,120
Speaker 1: After these messages.

539
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,479
Speaker 5: Welcome back to just the news, no noise. We're going

540
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 5: to stay on topic and stay in our deep dive

541
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 5: into American energy policy, especially now the President Trump is

542
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: going to be back in the Oval office. So how

543
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 5: is this administration going to unlock America's energy potential? Joining

544
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 5: us now to discuss that as the President of the

545
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 5: US Oil and Gas Association, Tim sewartt our, great friend,

546
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 5: thanks for coming back.

547
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 3: Great to be with you guys. Thanks for doing this.

548
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 5: Bobby, thank you and Tim. You know, when I think

549
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 5: back on the conversations we've had with you the last

550
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 5: two years, everything has been within the context of if

551
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 5: President Trump wins the White House again, if President Trump

552
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 5: is back in control of policy on day one, when

553
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 5: President Trump is inaugurated and He's got a stack of

554
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 5: executive orders ready to sign what are going to be

555
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 5: some of the most exciting ones you're looking forward to

556
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 5: for energy.

557
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 11: You know, that's a great thing for us to be

558
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 11: looking forward to. It's something we've waited for for a

559
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 11: long time.

560
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 1: You know.

561
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 11: The president can control one particular aspect of how energy

562
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 11: is producing the United States as it relates to oil

563
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 11: and gas industry, and that is, how do you how

564
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 11: do you produce a nery? How do you produce oil

565
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 11: and gas off of the federal lands and waters? The

566
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,440
Speaker 11: President himself can control what happens on twenty five percent

567
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 11: of almost all of the federal or all of the

568
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 11: US oil and gas assets. And the thing that President

569
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 11: Trump can do on day one is he can breathe

570
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 11: new life. He can put the paddles on the federal

571
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 11: leasing program and shock that system and start leasing again,

572
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 11: which is something the industry desperately needs. When you take

573
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 11: twenty five percent of the energy assets off the table,

574
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 11: like the Biden administration has, it puts a real challenge

575
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 11: and a real pressure on an industry to produce elsewhere

576
00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 11: front on private or state lands. You've got to have

577
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 11: that federal component either on shore or offshore, and that's

578
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 11: what we're really excited for. And the great thing is

579
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 11: he can do that almost immediately. We should have robust

580
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 11: lease sales in the first quarter, which is unheard of,

581
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 11: and that's something we're really excited for.

582
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and after a year where we had no leases

583
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 2: at all, it's just remarkable, and at least in the

584
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 2: coastal areas. Tim, I want to ask a little bit

585
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: about the team that President Trump is assembly. It doesn't

586
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 2: feel like your traditional cap There are a lot of

587
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: innovators in this group. There's going to be some thinking

588
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 2: that normy doesn't come out of government, that comes out

589
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: of government, that the next administration right exactly.

590
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 11: You know, I've been saying people they've been asking what's

591
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 11: it going to be like, and I say, you're not

592
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 11: going to see a Republican administration. You're going to see

593
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 11: a disruptor administration. The people that are populating the decision

594
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 11: making and sort of where the power chart is versus

595
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 11: the organization chart. These are people who have done it

596
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 11: in their past careers, who have gone in and broken

597
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 11: the existing model that was just was calcified and turn

598
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,719
Speaker 11: it into something robust. And that's something that we are

599
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 11: really excited to watch happen because it can be done,

600
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 11: and it needs to be done. You know the federal

601
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 11: leasing program. How my company is go and get an

602
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 11: application for a permit to drill. It shouldn't take three

603
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 11: hundred days. Literally, if you were to put in some

604
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 11: permit reform and a permit by rule component where if

605
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 11: you are if you meet the rules, then you can

606
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 11: get the permit and then you level AI on top

607
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 11: of that, there's any the reason why you can get

608
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 11: permits that are turned around in a matter of thirty

609
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 11: six hours instead of three hundred and sixty days. It

610
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 11: can be done, and frankly, we've got to do it

611
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 11: if we want to keep competitive with the rest of

612
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 11: the world in producing energy.

613
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 5: Tim President Trump's pick for Energy Secretary, Chris Wright. I

614
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 5: think he is right in line with what you were saying.

615
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 5: An innovator, possibly a disruptor, CEO of Liberty Energy, which

616
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 5: tells you a little bit something about how he feels

617
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 5: about energy production here in the US.

618
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:29,760
Speaker 3: Your thoughts on that pick.

619
00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:33,200
Speaker 11: So Chris is a fantastic pick for this reason. He

620
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 11: understands the nuclear industry very very well. Hits on the

621
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 11: boards of small companies that are trying to produce small

622
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 11: modular reactors. He understands the critical mineral supply chain very well,

623
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 11: and in his spare time he actually happened to innovate

624
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 11: the way we do hydraulic fracturing in the United States,

625
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 11: and frankly, it was his innovations and his insight and

626
00:30:55,080 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 11: inspiration which revolutionized the shale revolution even further. This is

627
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 11: exactly what you want in a Secretary of Energy, somebody

628
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 11: who understands that we need to be producing more of everything,

629
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 11: and he's in a great position to do that. We're

630
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 11: really excited.

631
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 2: When you look at what Doug Burgham's going to be

632
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: as sort of the national energies are alongside of his

633
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 2: role at the Interior Department. There's going to be these

634
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 2: broad precepts that sort of guide all the downstream and

635
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: they sound an awful lot like something you came on

636
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: this show a few months ago talking about the energy

637
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 2: contract with America. Seems to be endemic in the approach

638
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: that Burgham and others are already talking about being the

639
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: main policy more of everything, you can do it, more cleanly,

640
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: we can do it, and we're going to lower prices

641
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 2: so that there's no more poverty.

642
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: That was your contract, wasn't it.

643
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 11: Yeah, But again I like to take credit for it, John,

644
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 11: But it's just common sense, isn't it. You and I

645
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 11: talked about this, guys, We've talked about this for months now.

646
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 11: Is that Americans want energy. They want all different types

647
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 11: of energy, but they also want it to be affordable

648
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 11: and dependable more than anything, and they want to make

649
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 11: their own choices. They want to be able to choose

650
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 11: if they cook with electric or gas, for example. And

651
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 11: the fact of the matter is is the United States

652
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 11: is the world's energy superpower.

653
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 1: We are.

654
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 11: We produce more oil and gas than any anyone else

655
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 11: in the world. We're second coal and geothermal and renewable.

656
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 11: We can do it all. But the fact is is

657
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 11: we've got to be able to give industry the choice

658
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 11: and consumers the choice as well. I think the government's

659
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 11: going to be great about that. Where his position as

660
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 11: energies are, given his background in business what he did,

661
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 11: he can come in and again really sort of shake

662
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 11: the scales off calcified permitting process that it's not just

663
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 11: royal and gas but for everybody.

664
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 5: That's a great point, you know, Tim, I think on

665
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,719
Speaker 5: election night, there were a number of pretty much all

666
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 5: of them actually, probably dealership owners across this country that

667
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 5: breathe a sigh of relief. One of those lesser known

668
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 5: things that I think President Trump is going to do

669
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 5: with respective energy, but something that I think is vitally

670
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 5: important is stripping away that ridiculous EV mandate. How important

671
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 5: is that do you think?

672
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 11: Well, Look, if I'm a CEO of an automaker, I'm

673
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 11: breathe in a sigh of relief because honestly, losing seventy

674
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 11: thousand dollars per EV that I'm trying to sell is

675
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 11: not a not a sustainable business model, is it. I

676
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 11: think what the president President elect Trump has done is

677
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 11: he's given them a graceful exit ramp. He's lifted the

678
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 11: onerous EV sale mandate, and he's uh given given the

679
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 11: the the auto industry the option to innovate somewhere else,

680
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 11: and that's probably going to be in hybrid technology more

681
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 11: than anything, which is exactly what I think we all want.

682
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 11: Having the talk of the the EV seventy five hundred

683
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 11: dollars EV credit's important too, because that's about the only

684
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,479
Speaker 11: thing that the Biden administration could hang its hat on.

685
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 11: Telling consumers that you have to buy something, but in

686
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 11: doing so, we'll save you seventy five hundred dollars in

687
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 11: buying something you don't really want. I think the automakers

688
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 11: are going, Okay, let's let let's let us let's do

689
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 11: what we do best.

690
00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: Let's sell cars.

691
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 11: Let's let the consumer decide what type of car they

692
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 11: want to buy. And again, I think this is part

693
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 11: of that that disruptive thing, that's disruptive nature of policy.

694
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 11: We're all going to benefit from it.

695
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and by the way, if you do a hybrid,

696
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: you're still bringing down carbon emissions. I get forty two

697
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: miles a gallon on a pickup truck.

698
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,839
Speaker 1: That's a hybrid. I've been a big hybrid fan.

699
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 2: It's so much cheaper, quicker, and faster, and you never

700
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 2: have to worry where you're going to plug in next.

701
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: It's just so simple. I want to ask this real quickly.

702
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 2: The regulatory schema. I've heard the word NEAPPA more in

703
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 2: the last two weeks, and I've heard maybe in the

704
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: last forty years since the Nixon administration went away. My

705
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: National Environmental Protection Act. It was created with good intentions,

706
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: but it's become an Albumtross even the clean energy right.

707
00:34:35,840 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really has been.

708
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 11: You know, when NEPA was first to pass by Congress,

709
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 11: it was a two page document.

710
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 9: Is a two page bill.

711
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 11: And the unfortunate thing happens if you look back on history,

712
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 11: is the courts actually began to dictate the terms of

713
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 11: NEPA before Congress and the regulatory agencies could, and that's

714
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 11: how we had layer upon layer upon layered decision which

715
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 11: really has sort of just frozen everything in place. There

716
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 11: are a lot of things that really could be exempted categorically,

717
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 11: but the federal agencies, who are so litigation averse, are

718
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 11: so reticent to actually use categorical exclusions for anything as

719
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 11: simple as as repairing a trail in a national park

720
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 11: versus giving one of my guys an oil and gas permit.

721
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 11: That NEPA reform is crucial. That permit reform that the

722
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 11: Senate bill is still working on, I think is crucial

723
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 11: as well. I think Americans going to learn over this

724
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 11: next two or three years that NIPA can actually function

725
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 11: and function well. It can actually preserve the critical components

726
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 11: in the environment, but also can allow for development, economic development,

727
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 11: and particularly I think honestly this administration. John is going

728
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 11: to get us back to the original, the original intent

729
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 11: of NEPA that was passed forty years ago.

730
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:41,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a big win.

731
00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 2: And some of the chairmen that have been on have

732
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 2: been saying some of this work might get stuck in

733
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 2: the reconciliation bill in December, so that the Trump administration

734
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 2: has a running start. Will be interesting to see if

735
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:51,680
Speaker 2: they can pull that off with all the other things

736
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 2: that go into a bignest that's needed.

737
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 11: Sorry, that's needed because frankly, if you had that permit

738
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 11: bill done and done now, it means the administration has

739
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 11: got a clear path going forward to.

740
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 2: Do the other Canny on Jason Smith racing East Grum

741
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 2: and I have a funny feeling he's going to get

742
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 2: some of that done before the first.

743
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: Of the year. Tim, It's always great to have you on, folks.

744
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 2: The Energy Contract with America is as relevant as it's

745
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: ever been. It's not only going to be the doctrine

746
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 2: for President Trump, for any smart state in community. Go

747
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 2: to Energycontract America dot Com. Energy Contract America dot Com.

748
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: Go download it, talk to your local leaders, make sure

749
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 2: they know about it. Three simple ideas that have big,

750
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 2: profound consequences.

751
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: For the country. It's a good thing for you to

752
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: go do.

753
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna take a qui commercial break. Let

754
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 2: me come back a little more discussion before we quit

755
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 2: for the day.

756
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 1: We'll be read back.

757
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 5: Welcome back to just the news, no noise. In the

758
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,640
Speaker 5: United States just got finished holding their annual vacation i

759
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 5: mean Climate Change Summit COP twenty nine. It was in

760
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 5: Azerbaijan this year, and quite a lot was discussed, especially

761
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 5: after the re election and President Trump. Many climate alarmists

762
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 5: there were very worried about what a new Trump administration

763
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 5: might do and joining us.

764
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 6: To talk about this.

765
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 5: As someone who was at that conference, Climate Depot publisher

766
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,400
Speaker 5: and former senior staff at the US Senate Environment and

767
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 5: Public Works Committee, Mark Morano, Mark, thanks so much for

768
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 5: being here.

769
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:19,439
Speaker 4: Thank you, happy to be here.

770
00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 5: All right, tell us how it went, because John and

771
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 5: I obviously were in Washington a few days after the

772
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 5: election and we saw some pretty dire moods. How was

773
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 5: the mood over at COP twenty nine.

774
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, you've said vacation. At the first part.

775
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 6: They picked the most out of the way high carbon

776
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 6: footprint location for these un climate summers. Last year was Dubai,

777
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 6: Egypt was the year before then it was Scotland, then

778
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 6: it was Madrid. It's been in South America, it's been

779
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 6: in Kenya, It's been.

780
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 4: I mean all over the globe.

781
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 6: I worked in the US Senate Environment Public Works Committee

782
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 6: and the State Department as a Senate staffer.

783
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 4: When we go to these conferences, the one that.

784
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 6: Was in Bali, Indonesia, it was like a seventeen thousand

785
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 6: dollar undred sixteen thousand dollars round trip business class with

786
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 6: a bed that laid down. You know why people like

787
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 6: to go to these and that's exactly what's happened. These

788
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:12,400
Speaker 6: are exotic parties held around the world. This meeting going

789
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 6: into it was billed as money, money, money. It was

790
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 6: all about the UN Climate slush Fund. Right now, the countries,

791
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 6: including the United States, have pledged one hundred billion dollars

792
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,839
Speaker 6: a year and as we speak, they're trying to negotiate

793
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 6: the new number. But the UN is talking one trillion

794
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 6: a year to two trillion a year trying to get

795
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 6: that money up. And the idea is this climate slush fund,

796
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 6: which is what this whole conference was about, was to

797
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 6: pay poor nations in Africa, South America not to develop

798
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 6: if you could keep your citizens locked in poverty. The

799
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 6: leaders get a lot of money to keep you locked

800
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 6: in poverty, and then you get to be I'm very

801
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 6: strongly nut zero as your country stays in poverty. That's

802
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 6: how perverse this whole un agenda was and is going on.

803
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,960
Speaker 4: It's still in the final hours now at Baku.

804
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 2: Is an amazing way of just looking at it and

805
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 2: pointing out the insanity of it all. There's an extraordinary

806
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 2: There's a lot of dire predictions about President Trump. I

807
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 2: saw John Podesta this thing. I saw Jenny Grenholme talk

808
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 2: about it. But I think at the end of the day,

809
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: there's an irony about to happen. I suspect as President

810
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: Trump accelerates energy development and we do more nuclear natural

811
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 2: gas here, he's actually going to probably hit better carbon

812
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: targets than all the money and the trillions that the

813
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: Democrats did while expanding energy and make it cheaper. Is

814
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: that just when you look at that nuclear natural gas merger,

815
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 2: even though he doesn't need to do carbon reductions, He's

816
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 2: probably gonna achieve some, isn't he He is?

817
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 6: Okay, this is the whole con First of all, you

818
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 6: can go back to nineteen ninety two when George H. W.

819
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 4: Bush.

820
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,319
Speaker 6: Yes, it was a Republican president that got us into

821
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,240
Speaker 6: this whole UN Climate summit, And look at every president

822
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 6: from Bush, Clinton and Bush again and Obama and co.

823
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 6: Two continues to go up regardless of who anyone votes for.

824
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,800
Speaker 6: So this Gris magazine still says Trump wins, that loses.

825
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 6: That was the cover of their magazine. Great, keep that

826
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 6: for nostalgia. But you're exactly right, John. When Donald Trump

827
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:13,360
Speaker 6: was president, he unleashed American energy technology.

828
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 4: And a booming economy.

829
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 6: We had the best environmental standards and the best human

830
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 6: rights record for anything compared to outsourcing all of our

831
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 6: energies from somewhere else, and we led the world in

832
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,240
Speaker 6: reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

833
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,080
Speaker 4: We were better than the people who stayed.

834
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 6: In the UN Paris Agreement, than the nations who stayed

835
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 6: in and we did it because natural gas through the

836
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 6: technology of fracking, replaced coal. So the US, even though

837
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 6: we were the international pariah donald Trump was the climate denier,

838
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 6: we were doing better than all the other countries. We

839
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 6: were the model in the world, which brings up the

840
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 6: final point. If we actually faced a climate emergency and

841
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 6: carbon dioxide, which we inhale through our mouth. We inhale oxygen,

842
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 6: we excel carbon dioxide. If that were truly creating a

843
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,680
Speaker 6: climate emergency.

844
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 4: We'd all be doomed. If we fall the United.

845
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 6: Nations Net zero un paris green New Deal. Instead, what

846
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,279
Speaker 6: we need to do is the exact opposite. Regardless of

847
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 6: what you believe on climate, if you actually unleash the

848
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 6: economic growth, technology innovation, and unleash energy, especially energy in

849
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 6: Western nations with the best technology, you will see CO

850
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 6: two emissions. There was actually an analysis out of a

851
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 6: Canadian group carbon taxes raise emissions period because all it

852
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 6: does is force the West to virtue signals, shut down

853
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 6: our energy and outsources the countries without the technology, human

854
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 6: rights records. So everything is up is down, everything is

855
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 6: down is up. The entire narrative it has to be flipped.

856
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 4: It's completely bonkers.

857
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 2: And trillions of dollars go down the toilet ball it's

858
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 2: just crazy.

859
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 9: Yep yep.

860
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:49,799
Speaker 5: Speaking of trillions of dollars going down the toilet and

861
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 5: chemicals going downstream. I know that in order to achieve

862
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 5: a better energy landscape, we do have to combine a

863
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,439
Speaker 5: bunch of different technologies. But from everything that I've learned

864
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 5: from solar and wind farms in particular, not only do

865
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 5: they produce vast quantities of toxic chemicals, but I mean

866
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 5: for a solar panel, at the end of its life,

867
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,200
Speaker 5: we don't really even have a proper way of disposing

868
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,399
Speaker 5: of it. How much is that going to play into

869
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 5: any type of new energy plan or do you think

870
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,480
Speaker 5: the emphasis will really.

871
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 6: Be on nuclear? Well, I think the episodes will be

872
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 6: on unleashing fossil fuels and nuclear. Nuclear is making a renaissance.

873
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 6: I mean because of artificial intelligence, AI build gates is

874
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 6: buying up the Three Mile Island, which was the pariah

875
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 6: of the entire environmental left for decades. I always said,

876
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 6: if you're worried about global warming, plan Jane Fonda, she's

877
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:38,960
Speaker 6: the one in her movie The China Syndrome, which scared

878
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 6: the world about nuclear And I think with what nuclear

879
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 6: is AI has done because now this new emphasis on

880
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:51,480
Speaker 6: nuclear is it's exposed the folly of solar and wind,

881
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 6: despite all the subsidies, all the mandates, despite them banning

882
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 6: the or trying to ration and shut down the competition,

883
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 6: fossil fuels, solar and wind less than still fourteen percent

884
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 6: of our electrical grid. There's no there there all the

885
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 6: offshore wind that produces barely measurable energy. And what they've

886
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 6: done is they do a sleight of hand. They'll say like, oh, well,

887
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 6: Republican states are benefiting from renewable energy.

888
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 4: We're spending this. There's all this renewed capacity. None of

889
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:18,720
Speaker 4: it means anything.

890
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 6: It just means the government is funding all these jobs

891
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 6: that are like FDR era government work jobs. Once they

892
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 6: cut the subsidies, all the solar wind jobs dry up

893
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 6: because per unit of energy, they don't even produce anything

894
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 6: that even's on the same chart as any fossil fuel energy.

895
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 4: And the last thing I want to say is because

896
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 4: of AI.

897
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 6: Larry Fink, the CEO of Blackrock, said last April in

898
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four that you cannot run a global economy

899
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 6: on solar and wind. Solar and wind cannot power AI

900
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 6: energy demands because they're too intermittent and not up to

901
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 6: not up to where fossil fuels are. They were forced

902
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 6: to admit that this is a con from the beginning.

903
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 4: Even Larry Fink had to admit it.

904
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 6: Faced with this AI energy demands, which is again creating

905
00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 6: a nuclear renaissance, which is where we all welcome.

906
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 3: Amazing, you know, unbelievable.

907
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 9: Mark.

908
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 5: We love having these conversations with you. We've had a

909
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 5: lot of energy conversations lately, and it's just fantastic to

946
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 6: John.

947
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 5: Energy is something, and this is something President Trump spoke

948
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 5: about basically since he came down that Golden escalator in

949
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 5: twenty fifteen. The fact that energy production is so integral

950
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 5: to our economy, and when you have, unfortunately a failing

951
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,879
Speaker 5: economy like we do now, people are still feeling the heat.

952
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,439
Speaker 5: We're paying twenty three percent more for turkeys than we

953
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 5: were October of twenty twenty when President Trump was in office.

954
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 5: People are feeling the heat. But if you reduce the

955
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 5: price of energy because you are producing it in our

956
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,120
Speaker 5: homeland and you were even exporting it to other countries,

957
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 5: that affects the supply lines or the supply change, that

958
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 5: affects prices all across the board, and it benefits the

959
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 5: American people.

960
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: It does.

961
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 2: I mean, it's when Bill Richison told me twenty five

962
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 2: thirty years ago, it's the tipping point for every Domino

963
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 2: policy down from it. If President Trump brings energy production

964
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: back to superiority here in the United States, everything gets better.

965
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 2: Interest rates come down, inflation comes down, prices come down,

966
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 2: energy poverty ends for fixed income Americans like seniors are

967
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 2: very important.

968
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 1: Seniors. It is. It is really the secret.

969
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 2: Ingredient upon which so much of the rest of the

970
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 2: country's policies will be affected by. And that's why I

971
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,920
Speaker 2: think President Trump is first and foremost focusing on it.

972
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 2: You know, there was some interesting dynamics this week with Canada.

973
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 2: The President Trump told Canada, Mexico, you know what, I'm

974
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,800
Speaker 2: throwing twenty five percent tarists on ut guys started acting

975
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,000
Speaker 2: better and all. Both the Mexican President and the Canadian

976
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 2: Prime minister called Trump, by the way, hey, we want

977
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: to be good partners.

978
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 1: One thing to keep an eye in.

979
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 2: With Russia now blocking its uranium supplies to America, We're

980
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 2: going to need to rely on Canada's uranium until we

981
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 2: start our own uranium industry. A lot of people today

982
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 2: talking about nuclear energy post gas equals nirvana for energy policy.

983
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 2: We have no hardly any uranium supplies of our own

984
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 2: and now with Russia cutting us off, So Canada is

985
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 2: going to be a key partner if they behave well.

986
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that is going to be a very very

987
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 5: delicate dance for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, because as we know,

988
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 5: he's you know, he is very similar to Joe Biden,

989
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 5: and that he has rushed to the far left green

990
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,359
Speaker 5: energy wing of the Liberal Party in Canada. But he's

991
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 5: got an election coming up next year, so he's going

992
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 5: to have that.

993
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 3: That's going to be a very very.

994
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,399
Speaker 5: Delicate dance for him.

995
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 9: Good point with respect to.

996
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 5: The energy production. You know, President Trump, this is something

997
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,680
Speaker 5: that I think is at the heart of what he

998
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 5: cares about for the American people. When it comes to

999
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 5: the people who he has instilled. Doug Bergram I think

1000
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 5: is absolutely fantastic. But he's put a number of people

1001
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,920
Speaker 5: there in that energy sector. What's Saint Chris right? Do

1002
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 5: you think that those people are going to work together

1003
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 5: very very well to accomplish the things that President Trump wants.

1004
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 5: I know they signed on for this, but do you

1005
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:42,759
Speaker 5: think they're going to work together well?

1006
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 1: I do.

1007
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 2: I think you have not only three big men with

1008
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 2: big egos and big communication skills, they have a big

1009
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 2: sense of camaraderie and I think they think alike. They

1010
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 2: all share the President's vision that more of everything is

1011
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 2: going to equal a better country. And by the way,

1012
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 2: they also believe you can bring carbon emissions down. You

1013
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 2: heard that today from Tim and from Nathan. Carbon missions

1014
00:49:04,560 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 2: can come down even as you expand natural gas and nuclear,

1015
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 2: which is something that the Democrats have never achieved. So

1016
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 2: they realize that this is a historic moment. My understanding

1017
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 2: is a relationship between them is great, and I think

1018
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 2: this is going to be the dream team of energy policy.

1019
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 2: I think people will look back and say, twenty to

1020
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: fifty years of American history well have been defined by

1021
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 2: the men in this administration.

1022
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: Of the energy guys.

1023
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, well we all remember when Democrats were trying to

1024
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 5: take away our ovens. Hope you all get your ovens

1025
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 5: stuffed with turkey and all of the good things that

1026
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 5: will come tomorrow. I'm putting on my Joey Triviani pants

1027
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 5: so that I can make sure I have plenty of

1028
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 5: room to pack it in. And we hope you all

1029
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 5: have a wonderful, wonderful Thanksgiving.

1030
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:48,240
Speaker 3: John, Happy early.

1031
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving to you as well.

1032
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 3: Here we are going to be

1033
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 5: Back here tomorrow, absolutely absolutely, and we will be back
