=== Consequences for Disney (10:40) ===

[00:01:51]  It is rare to see politicians act with courage and clarity.
[00:01:55]  Ron De Santis wakes up every single day and he says, what are problems that I can solve?
[00:02:00]  So few politicians do that?
[00:02:02]  He looks, he wakes up, he says, what's a problem, how can I solve it?
[00:02:05]  What's the problem, how can I solve it?
[00:02:07]  From phenomenal congressional district maps to fighting wokeism and crt in the schools, to defending children from being preyed on by grooming teachers, to a 0% income tax, both for corporate and personal, which of course DeSantis didn't do but he's held the line on making sure that continues.
[00:02:27]  DeSantis wakes up every single day, Ron DeSantis, and is unafraid to pick the tough fights, and he's just confrontational enough with the media, where he holds the line, defends his voters, pushes back against their lies, but does so in a very deliberate and calm way.
[00:02:47]  Now the courage that Ron DeSantis is displaying with this new fight is remarkable.
[00:02:54]  The fight he's picking would be the equivalent of someone in Wisconsin trying to pick a fight with the Green BAY Packers, or someone in Texas trying to pick a fight with the oil industry, someone in New York trying to pick a fight with the bankers or someone in San Francisco trying to pick a fight with the tech companies Disney.
[00:03:11]  Disney is the largest employer in Florida.
[00:03:15]  Disney has been responsible for economic growth in a part of the world that was not exactly a go-to destination prior to Disney World being created.
[00:03:25]  Of course, Orlando.
[00:03:26]  I know a lot of great people in Orlando.
[00:03:28]  Orlando being landlocked and having its own, let's say, unique climate wouldn't exactly be, I think, nearly as sprawling or as successful a city if it wasn't for Disney going there.
[00:03:40]  But Disney, of course, has decided now to become a grooming company.
[00:03:44]  To turn their back on family values, Disney has now decided to not just poke the eye of the conservative movement, but also just decent loving Americans in every corner.
[00:03:57]  Disney was once a safe haven for families.
[00:04:00]  Disney made billions, hundreds of billions of dollars over the last couple of decades, being a place where parents trusted them.
[00:04:06]  The reason why parents are so upset at Disney, the reason why Disney is now receiving backlash, is because Disney violated the trust principle.
[00:04:14]  If I trust you with my kids, if I trust you with the content they're going to see, and you violate that trust, I'm going to be harsh in the retaliation you're going to receive.
[00:04:26]  I will be unapologetic about it.
[00:04:28]  So Ron DeSantis has had enough.
[00:04:30]  Disney is running their mouth and talking about how they're going to fight back against the idea that five-year-olds can't be taught about lesbian sex in kindergarten.
[00:04:39]  It really bothers Democrats and Disney people that that's happening.
[00:04:43]  The very weak corporate, spineless CEO, the guy by the name of Bob Chapik, who is now running Disney, continues to run his mouth.
[00:04:56]  So Ron DeSantis has decided to go to war.
[00:04:58]  And when Ron DeSantis picks a fight, he has a tendency to win.
[00:05:02]  Ron DeSantis won on lockdowns.
[00:05:03]  He won on not mandating vaccines.
[00:05:07]  He won on alternative treatments, on monoclonal antibodies.
[00:05:10]  Ron DeSantis has won at every corner.
[00:05:12]  It really makes you wonder: is Ron DeSantis a wonderful governor or are all the other Republican governors awful?
[00:05:19]  I think both might be simultaneously true.
[00:05:21]  There's some other good ones, Governor Stitten, Oklahoma, Governor Gianforte in Montana.
[00:05:27]  But generally, Ron DeSantis has just been leagues above the rest, especially considering how 50-50 Florida is.
[00:05:34]  It's not a conservative state, it's not a liberal state.
[00:05:36]  It's a battleground state by definition.
[00:05:38]  But it's becoming more conservative because Ron DeSantis is doing conservative policies and ideas, articulating them, defending them, and demonstrating the positive impact they have for the people of Florida.
[00:05:51]  So Ron DeSantis, as if he doesn't have enough on his plate, is now announced that the state legislature will consider a proposal to eliminate Disney's special tax and governing jurisdiction in DeSantis' fight against the mega corporation's woke politics.
[00:06:05]  Quote, I'm announcing today that we are expanding the call of what they are going to be considering this week.
[00:06:10]  And so, yes, they will be considering termination of all special districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968.
[00:06:17]  And that includes the Reedy Creek Improvement District.
[00:06:21]  Now, the Reedy Creek Improvement District is one of Disney's special carve-outs.
[00:06:25]  It's a special governing and special taxing district for the Walt Disney World Resort.
[00:06:30]  In 1967, the Florida legislature approved it to boost economic development and tourism within the district's boundaries.
[00:06:36]  This includes 25,000 acres.
[00:06:40]  Eliminating the special district would serve as a significant economic blow to the Disney Corporation.
[00:06:45]  So they should absolutely do it.
[00:06:47]  If you are going to be financing, supporting the grooming of children, then you as a corporation should not receive special handouts from the state of Florida.
[00:06:56]  If you're going to be against family values and you're going to make Florida a place where you want to push forward this LGBTQ garbage, we're going to raise your taxes.
[00:07:06]  Or at the very least, we're not going to give you special carve outs.
[00:07:09]  You never should have got them in the first place.
[00:07:11]  This is the latest flight, Breitbart.com writes, after Disney announced its opposition to the parental rights and education bill that he signed into law.
[00:07:19]  This is the proclamation.
[00:07:22]  On this first day of the redistricting special session, the governor added this: Should lawmakers and independent special districts established in 1968, he announced it at the villages that has similar self-governing districts, though post-1968.
[00:07:37]  Republicans have considered other measures to fight back against Disney's alphabet mafia agenda, including ending Disney's $600 million tax cheat loophole.
[00:07:47]  Jim Banks from Indiana, who is the Republican Study Committee chairman, has floated to do Revolver.news' idea, which is to end congressional loopholes for the Mickey Mouse copyright.
[00:08:00]  I don't think Disney really thought this one through.
[00:08:03]  I don't think Disney really kind of thought through the different actions and the course of action and the consequences for their actions.
[00:08:11]  So, what exactly is the root of all of this?
[00:08:15]  The root of all of this is an activist that I'm about to play here, Cut 58, where this person says that parents need to stay the F out of classrooms.
[00:08:25]  Ron DeSantis disagrees.
[00:08:27]  Disney does not want parents involved.
[00:08:29]  Disney is okay with 11-year-olds getting puberty blockers.
[00:08:32]  Disney is okay with six-year-olds being taught that gender can be changed anytime.
[00:08:36]  Disney is obsessed with your children.
[00:08:39]  And Disney needs to pay a price, just like Netflix has.
[00:08:43]  It's time to punish them.
[00:08:45]  Play Cut 58.
[00:08:46]  You want to know why personally I don't like this?
[00:08:49]  Because when it's the parents' problem, that's how you get homophobic kids.
[00:08:54]  If my parents had their way, I wouldn't know shit about the gay community or my own legitimate sexual identity.
[00:09:02]  So when you say it's the parents' problem, understand that the parents are not going to make the best decision.
[00:09:07]  They're not going to educate their kids.
[00:09:09]  If it weren't for public school, I wouldn't know shit about the gay community.
[00:09:12]  Unless it's a private school, parents need to stay the f out of classroom.
[00:09:16]  Yeah, stay out of classrooms.
[00:09:18]  Remember, it is the mark of a tyrant.
[00:09:20]  This is Libs of TikTok, by the way.
[00:09:22]  This is exactly why they have come after her so hard.
[00:09:28]  But it is the mark of a tyrant, a totalitarian regime, to break the bond that a parent has with a child.
[00:09:35]  Ron DeSantis knows that in order for a civilization, a state, or a country to exist, honor your mother and father is the only one of the Ten Commandments that comes with a promise and involves your nation.
[00:09:45]  It's the only one of the Ten Commandments.
[00:09:47]  So Ron DeSantis is now doing what Republicans refuse to do, saying, why do you get corporate handouts?
[00:09:52]  Do you know how many Republicans talk a good game on this stuff and they defend crony capitalism?
[00:09:57]  Yeah, Ron DeSantis steps right up to the plate.
[00:10:00]  This is like going after ethanol in Iowa.
[00:10:04]  It's like going after insider trading on Wall Street.
[00:10:08]  It's like going after the tobacco industry in Kentucky.
[00:10:11]  I could go on.
[00:10:11]  It's like going after the auto manufacturers in Detroit.
[00:10:13]  It's like going after Amazon in Seattle.
[00:10:16]  Okay.
[00:10:17]  It's going after the film industry in LA.
[00:10:18]  There's certain local controls that usually politicians don't touch and Ron DeSantis doesn't care.
[00:10:25]  That's exactly right, Connor just wrote.
[00:10:26]  It's like going after casinos in Vegas.
[00:10:29]  Lead, follower, get out of the way.
[00:10:31]  DeSantis is showing, and he's setting the bar for every Republican governor.
[00:10:34]  If they are not as equally courageous and decisive as DeSantis, you as voters should ask why, because you deserve a lot better.
[00:10:44]  Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
[00:10:45]  It's time to get serious about long-term emergency food storage.
[00:10:48]  If you don't already have a good stockpile, now is the time to get one.

[00:11:27]  I don't know.

[00:11:39]  So go to preparewithkirk.com, preparewithkirk.com on a 23 to 16 vote, just pass legislation ending Disney's tax privilege, self-governing power, and special exemption status.
[00:11:55]  This looks like it will make way to Ron DeSantis.
[00:11:58]  This will be a huge financial blow to Disney, and I love it.
[00:12:01]  There needs to be consequences.
[00:12:04]  There needs to be punishment for people that target families, especially mega corporations.
[00:12:11]  Disney could have just handled this, like, okay, we're sorry, we don't like the bill, but they decided to go all in.
[00:12:16]  All right, you want to go all in?
[00:12:18]  You're going to lose Disney.
[00:12:20]  You're not as powerful as you think you are.
[00:12:21]  Your content is kind of awful now.
[00:12:23]  You have special government handouts and protections for tax districts near Orlando, social carveouts and handouts in Washington, D.C. for copyright protections.

=== Media Ignoring California Bill (05:50) ===

[00:12:32]  And guess what?
[00:12:33]  Most Americans agree.
[00:12:34]  Most Americans are now getting away from your type of content.
[00:12:38]  We don't want the incredibly outrageous.
[00:12:44]  And I could use the word radical, but there's got to be a better word than that.
[00:12:48]  Agenda that we see being implemented.
[00:12:51]  Ron DeSantis comments in Cut 34 on how woke math textbooks saying that math is about getting the right answer.
[00:12:57]  We want to teach kids how to think to get the right answer.
[00:13:00]  This is an argument about objective truth and not subjective learning.
[00:13:04]  Ron DeSantis knows the value of education and knows that it means to lead forth towards truth.
[00:13:10]  That's literally what the word education means in Latin.
[00:13:12]  Play Cut 34.
[00:13:14]  You do have things like social and emotional learning and some of the other things that are more political in there.
[00:13:19]  In our view, on something like math, first, it doesn't meet the standards.
[00:13:23]  But second, you know, math is about getting the right answer.
[00:13:26]  And we want kids to learn to think so they get the right answer.
[00:13:29]  We're going to continue to focus the education on the actual strong academic performance of the students.
[00:13:36]  We don't want things like math to have, you know, some of these other concepts introduced.
[00:13:41]  Shouldn't be controversial.
[00:13:44]  Now, at the basis of this, is someone who used to be an MSNBC host.
[00:13:47]  Now, this clip is now getting recirculated.
[00:13:49]  She said this years ago.
[00:13:50]  I think she said this in like 2013 or 14.
[00:13:52]  She's a legitimate communist.
[00:13:54]  She's no longer with MSNBC, but she used to be.
[00:13:57]  But this is a viewpoint that is not popular.
[00:14:02]  It's not a majority viewpoint, but a majority of people in charge do have this viewpoint.
[00:14:08]  So it's not how many people, it's who has it.
[00:14:12]  MSNBC's Melissa Harris Perry, who's a Bolshevik, listen to her talk about education.
[00:14:18]  Listen to her talk about whose children are they?
[00:14:21]  Play Cut 62.
[00:14:22]  We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children.
[00:14:29]  Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility.
[00:14:32]  We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children.
[00:14:36]  So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.
[00:14:44]  Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better investments.
[00:14:50]  Yeah, we got to break this idea that it's just the parents' kids.
[00:14:54]  Now, mind you, this was an infomercial.
[00:14:56]  MSNBC used to, I used to watch a lot of MSNBC in 2012 and 13.
[00:15:00]  And they used to kind of run these kind of like, um, like this is sports center type ads, where you remember the, do they still run those this is sports center stuff?
[00:15:08]  I don't watch ESPN anymore.
[00:15:09]  It's Disney, it's awful, it's garbage.
[00:15:11]  Um, Sports Center used to be this great thing, and now it's just unwatchable.
[00:15:14]  But Sports Center used to run these ads where some of the greatest advertisements in history.
[00:15:18]  And I've said for a while, Turning Point should do it, and we're working on a concept of it, which is the cold, dark humor of the This Is Sports Center ads.
[00:15:28]  For example, they'd have one of the organ duck sitting at a kind of an office cubicle and looking outside the window to the pond of other ducks, and he just sighs, like wishing he could be out there.
[00:15:42]  Just as this is Sports Center.
[00:15:44]  So, MSNBC, this is not just like an MSNBC host that went out and just did this on her own.
[00:15:49]  This was like an infomercial they used to run, these 15 to 30-second shorts of MSNBC.
[00:15:54]  It was like progress lives here or whatever it was.
[00:15:57]  And she said very clearly, she said, Listen, we need to break this idea that parents and children are bonded together.
[00:16:05]  We need to have a collective notion.
[00:16:07]  That's where this comes from.
[00:16:08]  So, people like Melissa Harris Perry, who again, she's not really in front and center anymore, but they planted the seeds back in 13, 14, and 15, and Disney was slowly but surely infiltrated.
[00:16:19]  Now, those of us that tried to warn against it were labeled as McCarthyites because we were worried that these organizations were being infiltrated by avowed Marxists.
[00:16:28]  We weren't taking it seriously.
[00:16:29]  People didn't want to really realize it.
[00:16:31]  It's now being taken very seriously.
[00:16:35]  Disney has been completely taken over, and Disney is now going to have to pay a financial price for this.
[00:16:40]  The expression is: you go woke, you go broke.
[00:16:42]  We're not going to subsidize you, though.
[00:16:44]  Do you think there's a market for you to go sell five-year-olds the idea that men can get pregnant?
[00:16:48]  More power to you, Disney.
[00:16:52]  Have you looked at how much of Russia is inside your 401k or IRA?
[00:16:56]  Did you know my friends at PAX Financial Group have zero investments in Russia through their biblical investment strategy?
[00:17:02]  Those companies were screened out long ago because they didn't pass the treat people right test.
[00:17:07]  One of the most important tenets of the Christian faith is to love your neighbor, and this includes to love your employees.
[00:17:12]  Based on PAX's biblical responsible investment strategy, a company, domestic or international, is excluded from an investment from your portfolio if it violates our innate God-given fundamental rights.
[00:17:23]  So, PAX Financial is wonderful.
[00:17:24]  They share our values.
[00:17:25]  In fact, I know people that have switched to PAX Financial from our partnership, and they speak so favorably about it.
[00:17:32]  Stop using the woke money managers.
[00:17:35]  PAX Financial is rooted in biblical wisdom.
[00:17:38]  So, if you have $150,000 or more and would like to know more about biblical responsible investing at PAX Financial Group, text Charlie to number 74868.
[00:17:49]  That's Charlie at number 74868.
[00:17:52]  That's Charlie to number 74868.
[00:17:55]  So, you just take out your phone, text the number 74868, and type in Charlie to get to know about PAX Biblical Responsible Investing, biblical responsible investing strategy.
[00:18:08]  Take out your phone, text Charlie to 74868.
[00:18:12]  They're about to manage some money for me.
[00:18:14]  I really think highly of PAX Financial.
[00:18:17]  Text Charlie to number 74868.

=== Biden's Radical Energy Push (13:52) ===

[00:18:22]  Okay, let's get to someone who is a fighter for what is good and beautiful in California because there's still a lot of great people in California, and the fight is necessary.
[00:18:32]  It's Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, who's also a candidate for California's third congressional district.
[00:18:37]  Kevin, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show.
[00:18:39]  Thanks, Charlie.
[00:18:40]  It's great to be with you.
[00:18:41]  So, Kevin, let's get into the latest news.
[00:18:44]  I was kind of tracking this through some of our amazing pastors yesterday: Pastor Juergen, Pastor Jack Hibbs, Rob McCoy, James Cadiz.
[00:18:53]  We're kind of all in a text together of people that were tracking the legislative movement behind AB 2223, otherwise known as the infanticide bill.
[00:19:02]  Walk us through what this bill actually contains.
[00:19:05]  No hyperbole or exaggeration, because some people are blowing it out of proportion, not on our side, the other side.
[00:19:11]  What does it actually say and where does it stand in the legislative process?
[00:19:16]  Sure.
[00:19:16]  Well, where it stands is it passed its second committee yesterday, which is horrifying.
[00:19:20]  It's one of the worst bills that's ever been introduced here, which is really saying a lot considering the sort of bills that get introduced and passed in California.
[00:19:27]  And the idea is: you know, Gavin Newsom has proclaimed California an abortion sanctuary state.
[00:19:33]  He wants this to be the state where people from other states can come to to have abortions.
[00:19:37]  And this bill, 2223, purportedly creates a kind of liability shield for acts that would violate the laws of other states and places limits on what sorts of things can be investigated.
[00:19:50]  And so all of that is bad enough in its own right.
[00:19:53]  But there is this term in the bill, paranatal, which by, you know, there was a practicing OBGYN at the hearing yesterday who said that that can encompass up to about a month after birth.
[00:20:04]  And then sort of creates sort of a liability shield for an infant death that is post-birth.
[00:20:10]  And what's more, it actually would give individuals the ability to sue prosecutors who wanted to come in and bring charges in these cases.
[00:20:18]  So it's truly, you know, a horrifying idea.
[00:20:21]  And all of this is in the text of the bill.
[00:20:23]  Yeah.
[00:20:24]  Yeah.
[00:20:24]  So I just, I just want to make sure we're very clear here, right?
[00:20:26]  So in the bill, paranatal.
[00:20:29]  So if this bill were to pass in its current form with no clarification, no markup, none of that, would it be unfair to say that somebody in Napa, California, who has a three-week old who stabs that three-week old to death would no longer be able to be brought under charges of murder?
[00:20:51]  Is that an over-exaggeration or is that a potential reading of this bill?
[00:20:56]  Well, that probably would not be covered by the strict language of the bill.
[00:21:00]  And as much as they have this caveat, which says that it passed, that it's a paranatal death that is from a pregnancy-related cause.
[00:21:09]  And so they would argue that in that circumstance, that would not fall within the language.
[00:21:13]  But the problem is that it places such severe limits on the ability to investigate that, and indeed, as I mentioned, it even provides a cause of action against prosecutors for bringing charges that it would be very difficult to even sort of be able to discern whether that truly was pregnancy related or not.
[00:21:33]  Right.
[00:21:33]  So then what circumstances?
[00:21:34]  I guess it's all up to the interpretation, right?
[00:21:38]  So if it's three days after pregnancy or a week after pregnancy, I suppose the question is, why is this even, why is there not any sort of, even from the radical left-wing abortionists, how are they not even able to see that this could potentially be, you know, incredibly wildly controversial?
[00:21:58]  Well, I think that they can see that, and that's precisely the point, is that California has already sort of gone so far in kind of the pro-abortion direction.
[00:22:07]  It's already done so much that is so radical that to be able to sort of continue to beat the drum on this issue, you have to, you know, reach for these just new levels of perversity, which I think is why you're seeing a bill like this.
[00:22:20]  Now, you know, the bill has still a lot of steps to go.
[00:22:23]  You had thousands of people who came to the Capitol to protest it yesterday.
[00:22:27]  It's now as, you know, it's getting national attention.
[00:22:29]  So I think we certainly have a chance to defeat it or at the very least get it amended to take out this language that could potentially encompass the sort of infanticide type scenarios.
[00:22:42]  But the fact that this has even been introduced, the fact that it's now passed two committees, it sort of tells you everything you need to know about our state government here in California.
[00:22:51]  Yeah, it's just it's so evil.
[00:22:53]  And that's the only word for it.
[00:22:54]  You tweeted out the following, quote, a suspect in Sacramento's mass killing battered another inmate and engaged in criminal activity during his last prison stay.
[00:23:03]  He was released six years early for good conduct.
[00:23:06]  This is a story the media is not covering.
[00:23:09]  Talk about how bail reform and not just bail reform, but early release from prison reform can actually make California a more dangerous place to live.
[00:23:19]  California is a very dangerous place to live, increasingly so every day, it seems like.
[00:23:24]  I mean, in LA, they just told people to stop wearing jewelry in public because it makes them targets.
[00:23:30]  And yeah, here in Sacramento, we've just had these two sort of horrific mass killings in as many months.
[00:23:36]  The one that I mentioned talking about there in the tweet, this is one that left six people dead, 12 wounded, you know, this mass killing right a few blocks from the state capitol here.
[00:23:47]  And of course, Gavin Newsom and all the other politicians, Joe Biden even weighed in saying this is all a matter of guns, used it immediately to start pushing a gun control agenda.
[00:23:56]  But what we found out is that the sort of more proximate cause here is that one of the central shooters in this incident had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for some very serious crimes, domestic abuse.
[00:24:10]  And he was even while he was incarcerated, was committing more crimes, was engaging in criminal behavior there, was assaulting another inmate.
[00:24:17]  And the district attorney vehemently objected to his release.
[00:24:20]  Yet he was released after only four years of his 10-year sentence.
[00:24:24]  And then just a few months later, he was involved in this mass killing in the capital city.
[00:24:28]  So it's just a perfect example of how, you know, liberals like Gavin Newsom and Joe Biden engage in this demagoguery about gun control.
[00:24:38]  And it's sort of this sort of smokescreen for the dangers created by their own failed progressive policies.
[00:24:44]  Yeah, I mean, it's just, you wonder when people are going to realize we've hit rock bottom in California with crime, homelessness, open border, just the educational standards going down, wealth inequality increasing, people leaving California in a record rate.
[00:25:02]  You really do have to wonder about that.
[00:25:04]  So, Kevin, in closing here, tell us about your race.
[00:25:07]  You are a candidate in the third congressional district.
[00:25:10]  Talk about how it works in California.
[00:25:12]  You guys have like this best of too, right?
[00:25:15]  It's a very bizarre way to do it.
[00:25:18]  And tell us about your race and why you're running.
[00:25:22]  Yeah, absolutely.
[00:25:23]  So I'm running for the third congressional district.
[00:25:25]  And, you know, it's actually, you were just there, Charlie, at Destiny Church, and we really enjoyed having you.
[00:25:30]  We're just thrilled to have you there.
[00:25:32]  And I've been serving in the legislature in California for the last five years.
[00:25:37]  I've been fighting against the supermajority.
[00:25:38]  I've been fighting against Gavin Newsom and the radicalism that's ruining California, the greatest state in the country, in my opinion.
[00:25:46]  And what I see with the Biden administration is it's like deja vu.
[00:25:49]  In fact, this is explicit.
[00:25:51]  Like Gavin Newsom has said that California is a model for the nation.
[00:25:54]  It's the roadmap to success for Joe Biden.
[00:25:57]  And Biden seems to have believed that.
[00:25:59]  Like all of the failed policies here are metastasizing and are going national.
[00:26:04]  And so I'm running for Congress to try to stop that from happening, to share my experience fighting the battles here in California to make sure that California does not get that our nation does not continue down the same failed path as California.
[00:26:17]  Well, the website is electkevinkiley.com.
[00:26:20]  And best of luck in your race, Kevin.
[00:26:22]  And please do everything you possibly can to fight back against the infanticide bill.

[00:27:40]  Okay, let's get to this sound here.
[00:27:43]  It is about Joe Biden and his pivot on American energy.
[00:27:49]  Now, there's a deeper game at play here because Joe Biden is now going to betray his base.
[00:27:58]  Let's play cut 11.
[00:27:59]  Fox reporter on the White House making a 180 on drilling on federal land.
[00:28:02]  Play cut 11.
[00:28:04]  We are getting a stunning about face from the Biden administration just announcing a short time ago that it's going to resume oil leases for the energy industry on federal land.
[00:28:16]  The White House announcing the lease sales for oil and gas drilling on such land just moments ago said it would sharply reduce the acreage available for these leases, though, and charge significantly higher royalties on oil and gas produced.
[00:28:30]  Nevertheless, this represents a major, major 180 on the part of the White House.
[00:28:35]  That is an example of ideology coming to a breaking point from reality.
[00:28:43]  Joe Biden did not want to have to do that, but it also goes to show that political popularity does eventually worry these people.
[00:28:51]  Joe Biden doesn't want to do that.
[00:28:52]  Of course not.
[00:28:53]  No one in his administration wants to do it.
[00:28:54]  Now, but it will significantly aggravate his base, the keep it in the ground, no more fossil fuel base.
[00:29:01]  But it shows that there still is a political check and balance that could be used against the regime.
[00:29:09]  Remember, he campaigned on ending fossil fuels, and now he's reversing and doing the very same thing that Trump did when it came to energy, even though he said those things were terrible.
[00:29:18]  And a couple of weeks ago, he said there's nothing I could do to lower gas prices.
[00:29:21]  And now he's doing a complete 180.
[00:29:23]  That just gives a little bit of a window of how significant the collapse is for the Biden regime when it comes to this topic.
[00:29:36]  Cut 49, John Kerry says Europe is an energy success.
[00:29:41]  And so if you know anything about European energy, there's a couple things.
[00:29:45]  Number one, they are highly dependent and reliant on fossil fuels from Putin.
[00:29:52]  Do you know Putin and Russia are now exporting more oil than before the war?
[00:29:57]  Really glad those sanctions worked against Russia.
[00:29:59]  The rupee is more valuable and there's more oil being exported than before the war.
[00:30:05]  Also, Europe previously, until the France environmentalists got their way, they're now reversing it.
[00:30:10]  France used to have at least 50% of their energy from nuclear power.
[00:30:14]  I'm a big fan of nuclear power.
[00:30:16]  I can't believe that people oppose it.
[00:30:18]  You have to be living in an alternate reality, quite honestly, to oppose it.
[00:30:26]  And if you subtract Three Mile Island from all of the data from nuclear power, it is incredibly clean.
[00:30:34]  It's self-sufficient.
[00:30:35]  Should be exploring not just hydroelectric power, but thermal power, which basically powers the entire Icelandic government and the entire country of Iceland.
[00:30:49]  LNG prices are spiking right now because we're shipping a lot of it to Europe, which, if we can ship liquid natural gas to Europe, why didn't we make that deal happen in the first place instead of having Nord Stream 2?
[00:31:00]  But John Kerry thinks Europe is a huge success, even though Europe is dependent on energy importation from other parts around the world.
[00:31:07]  Play Cut 49.
[00:31:09]  No government in the world has enough money to be able to effect the transition we need to effect, to move us much more rapidly into sustainable energy postures within our nations.
[00:31:23]  Europe is probably the lead on the planet in terms of the efforts it's making.
[00:31:29]  There's a reason why they put John Kerry in charge of that position.
[00:31:32]  It might seem like an ambassador to Namibia or something.
[00:31:35]  No.
[00:31:36]  Being the climate czar is very important to the Great Reset Goals.
[00:31:39]  That's why they put the failed presidential candidate, former U.S. Secretary of State and former statesman of the Senate, I put in air quotes, at that position.
[00:31:47]  There's a reason because in order to get the Great Reset done, they need someone who's able to pull off the transformation of American energy and obliterate it.
