Mark Levin Audio Rewind - 4/25/23

2023-04-25

On Tuesday’s Mark Levin Show, President Biden, at age 80, announced his re-election while he’s destroying America. He talks about freedom but won’t let you buy a new gas stove or a combustion engine car. Nobody but the most unhinged Democrats talk about President Trump’s age. Trump doesn’t sound at all like he’s 78 but Biden looks and sounds like he’s 110. Also, the endless reporting and hateful attacks on Tucker Carlson are exactly what they think of us. The left-wing media want to squelch Fox News and conservative talk radio. Later, President Donald Trump calls in to discuss President Biden’s re-election announcement. Biden took the safest border in history, and he unraveled it. Trump talks about his new book, Letters to Trump. https://45books.com/products/letters-to-trump and his relationships with JFK Jr, former PM of Japan Shinzo Abe, and Jack Nicklaus. Afterward, ex-NBA coach Phil Jackson speaks out against social justice warriors in sports. People need a break from politics, that’s why they watch sports. We can talk politics – off the field. Finally, retired FBI special agent Thomas Baker calls in to discuss his new book, The Fall of the FBI: How a Once Great Agency Became a Threat to Democracy.

He explains the problem of today’s FBI is a problem of culture.

Did president tromp on sunday the lives went nuts, but it burned up the airway, well, did you if you're talking about your show, which I assume you work as always, Sunday night, we had a great time, and I just noticed something very special. You show number one is the number one show, and so, broad EU bark? You do a great job, again, thank you, like the guests didn't hurt and we're doing the at this, the second half, coming sunday, well knowing as the first have farther, Guy love that I love being with you, and I was really a good interview and I'm congratulations on the ratings. His elbow
Thirdly, we also get the ratings. Your gun drive. You don't get the writing, so you, you are the number one sure I just saw that synthetic while no com but sometimes when you do you're gone through you, MR president, and anyway now am. I didn't want to say that your book Eric compelling because it has its in the book called letters to trump and it has letters from all sorts of people The american people would know the laugh, the right, the centre in so far as you know, an awful lot of people through almost all very cool. Find love letters and many these people since you decided to get into politics turned on you and in her attacked you, what do you make of it. Well, I think they probably voted form because they like paying low taxes and they like having a secure border and they like having a good military and lots of other things that I often say the pivot people, thing in beverly hills and
security is in California wealthy areas, bel air, I hear, did very well with a vote even though, when they walk out they'll, say door. I voted for by didn't get you. I don't think so so some turned and some actually became very strong, but I put a lot of it because in many cases the turns you know it's more interesting when you see somebody turn from being totally love and then all of a sudden you announced running for president, then that I love you so much anymore. Now, Joe Biden announced and video and is a terrier yeah g, then do and videos now for months avenue. Any ideas, but when you're announcing for president, you don't do it through a video, its grey righted. Somebody seven takes when you're asking for president, you don't video. You do, as I say,
you got out a new just announced that you're running in you say a few words on you. You go back and you do what you're doing, but you don't Do it through a video now, that's terrible now rashly was not was not happy with the interview he said. The Van and these others. They need ass tromp. What he's going to do you put out statements? you put out video, you make statements constantly But what are we going to do on? ray conceivable subjecting unit, really do when I talk about the future very much, but I also talk about the past. You have to learn in the past, I mean do no voting and all the things a place you have to learn, so you can correct him for the next one. Let that happen again And so I would say that you know I'm really thinking about the future at this point more, but you have to learn The first is what history is all about, and you can't let it happen again and will
ever. Let that happen again. There was a confluence of a lotta differ. Things going on, including covered You can never let that happen again. I think we're in good shape, with whoever strong into the polls against Biden and a bad and against the republicans. All of the republicans her way way way behind I ask you this in the book. You talk about two kennedys ted, and john junior and they were both very front. With you Ted was very friend, with you, you had a year the relationship with John junior new said John junior could have been present. The united states now that's what he was aiming at. He was gonna run for the senate, gonna get out. He had a magazine, george. There was sore appeared. A diamond was find. He actually put me on the cover.
He was a great guy. He was a very handsome person, very handsome man. I think you would have been incredible. Actually I think he would have been did you ever run for the show that he would have easily one and then probably what a run for president? At some point and yet I knew him and I know his wife. They used to fight like cats and dogs, but loved each other, you know so you never another eustace, then a little lab Very volatile relationship- let's say, but they they. Ultimately, it worked somehow I'd watch things as an interesting relationship, but it seemed to work and you know it, Honourable thing: when they, when they went, that plane and they went into that new england far more whatever you want to call it. It's the thickest anywhere in the world at an old people, though their budgets, If you don't know how to fly with instruments or if you just ok, added you're in big trouble. When you get an added, they got caught going up the massachusetts and
didn't take their the rout along the coast. It are you take her out along the coast and then you make a small right as opposed to making a big right in you re saving time and he was an expert it in governments and the plane they got, they got lost, They got a land in the fog version actually very sad. He really did have a tremendous huge. You know him mother, wanted him very much to go into politics, which is amazing and I don't really want to be an actor. Many and look. I can tell you what I think I would have preferred being an actor, but he was going to run in my opinion of any sweaty said to me gonna run for office, and you would have a better senator? Anyone have been- maybe maybe a president, what are your closest friends when you were president? Was the president of japan bay- and you got very-
close to him and he was close to you and then he was assassinated. I must have been a shock. This is in the book as well bright eyes: to like he was a fantastic man. Loved his country, I'd ask about two questions about that. Culture is an amazing culture, the japanese culture, as you know, and ask him about the comic kazi pilots. His father was a certified kamikaze by would never get to never got to fly, and he was always saddened by it was sort of an incredible. conversation. They said Let me guess you know the common cause. You think it's like right. Amazing aside, somebody could do their jobs So basically- and I said where they drunk or and drugs, the only drug they had was love for their country. That was the only drug I said were. That was His father was always varied devastated by the fact he never got to fly. He never get. He was two weeks
war ended doing before he was gonna go out. Can you believe that that's that's really should. But I'll never forget his answer. No, it was love on his of their country. news, you wonder how many americans would be doing that right. It's very hard, it's very hard to understand, but the cultures is amazing culture and he was amazing man. He was a very loved guy here left early because he wasn't. Well, he had a problem and a deep having cleared up the province, he would he would have run again anyway. then prime minister, that you would have. Once again. I thank you, variously one and he was very popular and he had a maniac assess. It was assassinated by a maniac problem, we ve only got in Japan. You know, then all our guns, its link, is very tough, but this guy made gun in his basement very crude gun, but unfortunate it worked and these good, but he
a man and a great leader, You know, on the show, by the way, the book is letters to tramping, get it forty five books that com of course, amazon, dot com where its number one. This present we talked about palmer on the tv show, but you are also friends with a lot of other golfers like jack Nicholas now right and he wrote you have a very nice letters, well act, reckless sure, gary player. These are great champions. Jack was sick stronger is here, acted well under pressure. You know some people do in some people down the differences with golf and some other sports, so the sports- I guess under certain circumstances, either react while under pressure the new way to make a living red and jack, probably reacted better the pressure that anybody he was an amazing champion and he would play better one. There was great pressure now,
nine percent of the players play much worse and he did the great shots or the great pots when he was Maybe get to win the masters and other people would not able to do that and he was two great job, really. I think you're probably born with that. Perhaps out of love you develop it really I got in life. You know the only differences, sports sort of a microcosm of life, then you see More plainly, more of europe's easier but goes into the ball, goes over the fence or whatever it might be. But jacko is a great champion. an unbelievable record, an unbelievable record when he had to play well and most people. Can't say that you got along quite well we're barber waters. She considered you one of them an important public figures out fairer, wench. Would do her shows and so forth and she created to show their view.
We have all these women on their who are constantly attacking you and so forth, but along with her quite well. Now All of us here I get along with what they grant ideas with age. I do a movie she made a movie about, I remember basketball. and yet she said, would you do cameo? I get along with joy, joy, love, trump, should please Do the show em every off the arena yet along with the ones that unite? oh, I get along with them great And now I don't let me, but I guess they aid me. I guess I'm also good for their ratings. But the fact is that I get along with it? I mean I literally did cameo four would be goldberg anymore that you made and got away with it. And then, when I ran for office, wasn't even policy. It was just like when I ran for office did a great job. Our country was fantastic. Just prior to go
giving and we in the history of our country will have adequate you doing so well and everybody was coming together, but we had a great the economy in history If it was, everybody was working where they had degrees or no good degrees. If yet, if you just words country, hispanic asian americans, think of an asian americans and adjust everywhere The african americans had the greatest period. I've ever had economically there's never been appeared. A dive like that to the african american. as for the asian americans, for the hispanics It was an amazing divers. Never the time in the history of our country there we got hit with this horrible gift from china, and then we do got away out of it by the time I left we are today leave abolished by the time I left the stock market. Was higher than it was before, covered came and it was really is actually put down
they time, especially that time prior covered was a time the likes of which our country is never had. We were, leap frog in china. China was going to take always for many years. As you know, they said twenty eight in twenty nineteen china would become the biggest economy and they were so far behind us that it was incredible. Plus I took it up. The billions of dollars from china in the form of terrorists and taxes. Note Are the president took in ten cents mark not even nothing, there does off left and right, and I took in hundreds, have been end of dollars. I made an incredible trade deal with china for our farmers and manufactures, and then what It gave him. I didn't even talk about it, but I made the: u s: embassy, that's mexico, canada, with wages. We did a great deal that we did. A lot of great else? We re negotiated a deal with south korea, which was terrible. We negotiated. A deal with Bobby are great We he was a you know. We made a deal where it was.
above all, I believe they didn't have any of our cars. I didn't have any of our product, they wouldn't take anything. Yet we sold hundreds of billions of dollars, of their cars as such, not fair? I can't do it and I'm negotiated all deal with great great for us good for them, but great for us. It is. Sustainable thou bear the deal's where nobody did anything about it. I got em all done. We made great trade deals, that's why we did so well and then watch what Joe Biden is doing to the country unraveling pretty much everything you put in place. What does? How does that make? You feel? Obviously you want to run for president and stop him what we had if is border in history, any about it, we had fewer people coming in than ever. I had mexico give us free of charge, two thousand, twenty eight thousand soldiers, we had twenty eight thousand mexican soldiers for no charge. Now I say.
If you don't do that, I'm going to charge you twenty five percent tariffs, but we don't have to discuss that, but they gave us soldiers. We had. We had very few people. We had record low people. coming, and you know that you reported it all the time we had. The saviour We had to stay in mexico policy about that one. Stay in the united states had to stay in mexico until they had their papers to come out. I had built on. miles of wall and the world so well, and it was so credible. Then I was doing an extra two hundred miles beyond what I said and We had the election result. I won't go into it because you're associated with box so were not allowed to talk about that. But we had election results and what happened mark is it up three weeks he could have finished it. and he chose not to and that's what I said. They really wanted open border, it's incredible and they actually and now Millions of people flowing in
from prisons from madeleine situation insane asylums, and Not even believable that somebody could want this. Nobody should want is now this book about these. It is a people wrote to you and you wrote them back and so well I mean we can barely even touch the surface. I mean there's scores and scores of people in here here letters to trump. What caused you to write this book? What were you thinking? It was with a group of people, and they saw some of these old letters like andrew lloyd weber, invite me too,. A new musical that he was going to open in new york and london and ah would you please come I'm opening up a new musical is called the phantom of the opera. I was there at opening night with him and he lives in trump tower with Sarah brightman. And she was staring at it, but here I'll, go and
I watch van over the opposite. The thing is unbelievably minutes. It was great one of the old time, successful, I guess, but as I have the lead, and in writing about vanity opera, like nobody had ever heard of it, but decent love do have you come the new musical score, the fan of the opera. They said all right and I have a little note. I rode back to him. Ok good sounds good and Went to see opening night at fairly opera, you know, and I totally but who were known, I was gonna, be fur many many years at one of the most success There are so many richard Nixon writing letters that we're really fascinating, because he was a fascinating per person, some people like a much, but he was a fascinating, very smart, tough pherson.

In u s history, he was once mine to be one of the youngest senators ever and he took it this position on age. Back then seen as Andrew possess these uncovering the story for a sandra. Tell us about how Biden campaigned vat time around right, so fifty one years ago, Joe Biden was a twenty nine years. delaware city, council men. He was so young that when he was elected he was not even the age that he could sworn end. You didn't turn thirty until after that and he was attacking the and republican senator cale bog over his age. Bogs was sixty We at the time now note that seventeen years younger than Biden, is today that's more than twenty years younger,
then biting would be in his second term. If you reelected, if runs for real action, and what sure thing about this is buying in their campaign. He had some three said: bogs had lost that old, twinkle in his eye. I was one of his quote this. This approach was so explicit that the local press dubbed it in we're old, dad approach to campaigning take a look at these are newspaper adds that dividing campaign, ran during that campaign. You can see that he cited things like the nineteen forty eight pull tax he had adds where he talked about Of stalin and jazz musicians doing heroin any. if he hammered home this line, to contrast with with boggs who was a two term senator and a two term governor. He used this line. He understands It's happening today take a listen to tat. One of the radio adds that his
and pain ran hammering that home entailed bugs day when stolen road americans have visions of russian soldiers in our streets Joe Biden state american, visions of american criminals in our streets, Joe Biden, stands what's happening today. Was then this is now, and it's gonna be interesting to see how Biden handles I was age related questions see he was a sleaze ball, the age of twenty nine. Actually before and he's a sleaze ball now. he will say and do anything for power for self aggrandizement and to enrich himself. His is bar he's, always been asleep papa twice. He was a segregationist earliness career. He didn't chest supported. He was an activist for segregation
and now he's you know: mister equity, who stands up against maggot extremists. He is a man who fundamentally, really empty, he's empty of a soul, a hard or a brain, empty. which is why so many Democrats will you don't want him to run again except the radical left us who think the people bowling his dreams are doing a hell of a good job for the country. but there are serious issues with this. So a taxi sixty three year old for being too old the service, a senator sixty three zero. Which, in today's washington is, is like a year so sophomore so young person, sixty three.
Seems like everybody in a position of power is ninety three and that's ok. If your ninety three you know, president, probably not so much maginnis now. Karin jean Pierre. Why do they even have her up there? I mean why wanted suppressing symbolic and she ever a straight answer about anything. Now He does it and she's really not free. To be quite frank about it. She s not a good liar that pasok. He has a good liar. She's on MSNBC now she's a a good liar kirby. Another good liar he's a good liar, but in Jean pierre is a liar, just not a good liar so seems port noise of CBS news, steep port noise, pretty good
alloway. I knew him when he worked at a b c and when so many stations at a more now were owned by the b c radio network which was bought by another company. What was bought by another company which was bought by criminals caught for Well, the issue of the president, eight years old or elected, would be eighty six at the end of his second term or CBS news poll this morning shows that only twenty two percent of democratic voters are excited about the prospect of reelection. Ask you this. As a young man coming of age, the president was inaugurated in nineteen. Sixty one said that it was time to torture been passed to a new generation. Why is president vital not designed to pass the torch at this point? Why does he still want to tell you why? I don't let her answer it her way
Being I, you know a little literally, the hatch act all answered my way cause he's a selfish bastard. That's why? What else is this guy?

Seventy sectors cause lose the way the phillies did and the way the eagles did.
The world series in india, superber she's, the kiss of death when it comes to these games, is right about that. So Joe Biden is running for reelection because of all these reasons and of course, again pardon himself The part his son, if he needs to parliament The part himself because he's got a a mile lawyer, their fact of life as these, in general, the united states who's looking out for him and his boy. Shush should go fairly speedily, so potent I asks Can the act here, sir What about all this and age go ahead when it be very careful again This? Is the twenty twenty? Four really the two twenty four twenty four. Ideally, you can't comment on buttons. Age
this related to the election. Now it's really to his age. Go ahead careful eye. On that point, sport, I can say more broadly, is that you know as it relates to first part of the question you when it comes to age is the same thing that we heard in twenty twenty rightly heard them Over and over and twenty twenty- and we were right in twenty funny- he's a fool an absolute for we had it, you brain cells, to rub together. He was a full go ahead. Him If you look at what the president has done this past two years and destroyed the country he's in power, china he's a power, they ran. We have millions and millions more illegal aliens all over the country.
now coming out of our ears. He's undermine the united states. Military is undermine, women sports is destroyed, school troy cease to strike the Middle EAST. Quite frankly, the abraham accords. Iran is more powerful than ever because he he wanted force Sanctions and he's lifted other the dollar, week. The communist chinese are strong, their replacing our currency. We ve seen what is done.

The former coach of the yellow lakers was a great coach to was a great basketball player Kind of asean guy, if you will and he made a statement. I agree with a hundred percent. Even though he has. a stronger. Well then I in this regard, because I have returned a watching sports, because these folks have forgotten their act together. I don't see them kneeling or whatever, but let's listen. This cut thirteen go, do still watch, a basketball or though about that. When ended, you stop immediately from the time you stopped coaching. No, I didn't. I, here was suddenly game evolve and decide
and then they went into the lockout year and they did something that was kind of lanky they to the bubble down in orlando and all the teams that could qualify, went down there and stay down there, no audience and the things on their back like ill justice, and yet I made a little thing like you know, just just went through the basket equal opportunity just knocked him down and somebody I had another name for a guy who is jersey in the back of a jersey. Add some others slogan, so my and is that that was pretty funny. There TAT had to play up those names, so I couldn't wants that mid, lakers one. Actually they they were all in that year. And you really like it just made little of the game like it made it might like a sideshow. What do you think it was? It turned you off
Well, is it was up baby. Even slogans are the floor. The baseline. It was catering It was trying to cater to an audience for trying to breathe certain audience into play, They didn't know it was started. Other people off in our view, be want see. Sports is not political, We ve had we that had a lot of different type of, players it of learned me like your bill. Brad, who is a senator number baseball players been representative, and senators and political but their politics, out of the game etc. does anybody there, I believe it strongly. You know Stephen smith and I don't agree on their sir. We didn't used to
I believe strongly in this. You can talk, politics talk it off the field of the court. People need a break and so that's why they watch sports Wanna hear battery social justice agenda. all these millionaires, running, down the cord running up and down the field chasing baseball's, chasing gaff balls. We don't want to hear it. You're, not great, representations of social justice warriors, you don't live. In quote the called the hood. Your kids go to the best schools. You were extremely expensive outfits. The fans.
Who are in a thousand times less than you do or paying confiscatory ticket prices or fora? cup of soda beer saw pretzel or a bag of popcorn a hot dog, enormous sums of money, and when I hear all your crime and the idea that you're, an athlete. So you represent an entire race of people. Is ridiculous. You don't you, don't even demonstrate that you do just cause. You open your big mouth during a press conference. Whose idea coach that I cannot stand, MR producer, begins with a what's his name: papa: what whitish, schmuck and care to frauds phonies to liberal cooks.
So jail rose, who is a navy c e s been analysed? Was a basketball player. he's got a jump into the middle. This multi millionaire is a social justice, warrior of course cut fourteen go. You can make this up a faint, cogent. Eleven time champion, bill jackson clings to have stopped supporting the nba because it became to political when he wanted to them and was catering certain audiences Slogans on the back of jerseys and black last matter on the floor, the same phil jack's. They want. Championships somewhat greatest black athletes in the history of the game, Michael Jordan, scotty ip shaquille, o'neal, kobe bryant.
Millions on their backs were caught on their power. Michael Jordan, scotty, pigeon pippin. She killed near the late kobe rat, where they are social justice worse to did. I miss something: how. And it's a t knew of a coach. The coaches raver important fell. Jackson was a great coach. So now it's a white black thing cause jail in rose is an imbecile. So now it's how white black thing. So if you say I really know what the politics out there, I really I want the the the work efforts at it. Appealing to an audience of sorts. I really don't want that. I just wanna watch basketball enjoy the game. Look at the professionalism surrounding the gay.
Now you're a racist. fell. Jackson, as a liberal, I believe, is a Democrat, but he was dead we like into this buddhism- stuff. Ok, fine in He can't believe that the guy says we leave that crap and outside the arena. The game is tough enough to toughen they get fans and they are to pay your salaries and to tell you this, Jalen rose? These players didn't make felt jackson rich. We did the fans we made, you rich. We made the players rich, phil, jackson, rich.
The owners rich and you guys who broadcast on the s p enrich rich. The players didn't make anybody rich, they attract in an audience, but the audience is the consumer, And you see that's the problem with you, you jerk would never hear me say anything like that. My audience is responsible for any of my success. The people listening to the show very the once and you have no respect for the fan None whatsoever fell, jackson does fell jackson. Does he didn't He didn't say everybody should do what he did. He didn't even make it pub,
Then he wasn't watch him. Baseball Amory was asked by some guy named rick reuben. I don't know they are rick reuben, as might be the most. this guy on the face there. I don't know that matter to me but fell jackson spoke, truth for millions of millions of people, including fans, and let me tell you something football first. They were the first to dip their tone to this water with that capron nick, they won't play. Everybody's. Try to me sucks. I turn on parents who adopted they adopted up now. Turn on them their racial stew, everybody's arrangements, don't you know, except, of course capron it now. That said,. To streamline rose this analyse, Jane, Jane rose, he knows what needs to be said.
I remain in his job at E S, p, n, where it's like we like to court his pip. He knows what he has to do and he did it. but let me tell you something: gentlemen: rose fell, jackson was more important, more relevant, more profoundly historic in the sport of basketball than you'll ever be, or you ever were Everywhere- and I don't mean as a player, I mean as a coach, your third tier path, third tier. And so he is free to say what he wants to say of course, but a lot of people agree with them, not because the racists, but because they work hard
and when they turn on the television or when they pay confiscatory prices for a ticket to go to a basketball game, they don't want to be lectured. In its interesting to me, Jane, when rose you ever helped expose now black lives matter. Another you brought it up. He didn't bring up likewise manner. You did. Did you help us both that that was a marxist operation. They ripped off its donors. Did you did you know you didn't Cause you don't have nearly the guts that it fell. Jackson does. So I get off my radio, you jerk. Are they ride? Then don't fall for their free phone ideas from variety and eighteen to your t, mobile folks,

Then we'll start to see. Articles like the following we have already, and I brought them to your attention headline, washington compost switch to wind and solar, will require a lot of land. Did you know that mr produce. analysed by maxine Josh low. Good morning and welcome to climate to our two. We hope you headed Later day on Saturday,
The rain in DC, unfortunately kept us from going for a hike below will cover the epa forthcoming greenhouse gas emission standards for power plants, but first I'm reading from her note Because energy transition hinges on decisions about land use report says: there's an off overlooked aspect of america's energy transition. It will require a lot of land that means decisions about land use could have a profound pact on the speed and scale the nation shift to clean energy according to an analysis shared first with the climate too. To buy the icy have climate center, they never lie a climate research group. the global consulting firm. I see a large scale wind and solar farms require at least how ten times says much land per unit as coal and natural gas fired power plants,
including the land used to produce and transport. The fossil fuels. Research shows so taken every inch of land, that's required for fossil fuels clean who, Use ten times as much lamb, ten times Only a fraction of all land is suitable for development. Large scale, wind and solar farms require at least ten times once it might have the wrong slope for solar panels While another area might be home to an endangered species, that development could do if developers pick them Site they risk undermining goals. Are the inflation reduction act? The landmark I'm a law that offers billions and billions of dollars worth of tax credits for renewable energy. Jake's nationwide for the first one. gigawatts of renewables I were developed in the previous decade. Land was not an issue said Hamas.

I I'm going to and it s a little bit more You're not going to see the oceans turn ugly, Massive amounts of land the useful, because these propeller heads are in charge of it right back. I. The broadcasting from the underground command post teeth in the bowels of a hidden bunker somewhere under the brooklyn steel over nondescript building, we have once again made contact with our leader mark. The mark. Levin here are number eight, seven, seven, three, eight one, three eight one, one, eight seven, seven three eight
one three, eight one one! Don't you think would be a good idea. America, if we act We know what we're doing before we did it then be driven by these ideologues over over the cliff and electric vehicle. If the nation knew where all these materials were coming from, how we were getting them, how they are going to be processed and when their debt, in the case of batteries. How we're going to dispose of them should we have it all figured out before we destroy economy. the epa that is binds war on the electrical grid that I discussed at length yesterday shouldn't we ever chit chat about that involving members of congress. We're gonna be relying on this electrical grid so wisely going to war with the people who produce the electricity choice attacking me
utilities that create the electricity for the grid he's attacking the grid The attack in the coal minors, the oil producers, the natural gas fractures he's attacking oliver. And now we learn today, something we already knew, but they washed imposed they didn't they found it to be an important new story. switching to wind and solar energy require a lot of land times as much land in its call when natural gas fired power plants, Isn't that amazing. Firstly, analysis burgess developers to consider how difficult and costly it's gonna be to connect. the nations electricity grid went to develop. Wants to build a new energy project? They had to submit an application,
a regional operator which determines how the project will affect the grid. If the regional operator determines the local grid is accepted, They might ask the developer to pay for new transmission lines and other upgrades most proposals. Why ears to connect to the grid? The. twenty twenty one about eighty one hundred projects, the man majority them. Wind, solar and batteries were waiting to plug in this I don't bottleneck known as the interconnection q Slow the build out of clean energy across the country, less than one fifth of solar and wind projects actually make it through the cue. many are cancelled because of insurmountable upgrade costs, but by pro active Studying grid capacity and upgrade costs developers can boost their odds of success. The author also emphasised that development should consider local.
Their projects in energy can Unity is called, I quote, I'd have lost employment and revenue from shuddered coal mines, coal plants or other file. Sophia facilities. The inflation reduction act notice. All this climb stuff is under the inflation reduction is the biggest ruse the biggest fraud, the biggest lie ever. Companies can claim an extra ten percent tax credit if their projects are local, in energy communities. A key demand of senator dramatic, you see all the monies being thrown era. This isn't market driven, snow market driven Mansions native appalachia is home to many of these community saw a package of call every western states That is why I, in montana,. The analysis that doesn't make any sense e p a
and would impose drastic cuts on power plant emissions by twenty forty. This is what we talked about. So, on top of all the rest, when you finally get to that grid, who you gotta cut trend, you can cut emissions by warm ass now drastically by twenty forty. If implemented, the epa would set limits so strict that fossil fuels, fire power plants probably would have to use technology. After their carbon emissions or switch to other fuels to comply, they propose, in other words they couldn't do it without extraordinarily huge costs You're gonna bear the brunt all those folks, as people are just going to wash their hands and say I put my money elsewhere. This is too crazy.
I put my money elsewhere. You know I'm a byword for another Biden. Maybe get a few good the regulations in there, but I'm not gonna, I'm just not going to do this. jody freeman, founder and director of harvard law, schools, environmental and energy law programme has spent asked eleven years on the oil companies board receiving three hundred. Sixty seven thousand compensation last year alone, free says she is comply with harvard ethic policies. Yes, she's on the board of calico philips does, of course, the very upset about there. so you can actually have people who work in the industry who understand the industry working on any We need a dialogue. bunch of wrath maders, that's what we need people who have bought a new suit and four hundred and twelve years.
Look like they shaved like the unabomber, So we need working on these projects. Ladies and gentlemen, not people are actually have skills and experience no And this is where we have our handling the entire energy situation. Now We know the master propellers have to be backed up with actual fossil fuel their these mass of batteries again, the guts of which we have today the communists chinese. For We know that allow those how we know that killing birds left and right, but they don't care We also another unreliable there very expensive to maintain the monies. Nothing don't worry it's just yours, and then we know put the man in the ocean they're, killing whales, killing whales
Oh that's, ok, we're only worried about polar bears now: they're killing whales, their wash upon the beach of atlantic city. We used to atlantic city a single summer. We in atlantic city actually was on the border with ventnor at a place called the berkeley by you know what I mean I never saw whales wash up on the beach, MR, but is it a heavy person? now and then, but not a whale. last time I saw sperm whale on the beach was a picture of Chris Christie. Member that. With a lovely family there sitting with the beach chairs on the beach. Nobody else was there. Of course, Chris azalea, a forward looking republican. He's a non mega mega or whatever.
Their destroying the electrical grid, their destroying the called companies destroying the oil Companies to destroy the natural gas come, Is there destroying everything? between and around automobile, Companies cannot so electric vehicles had a rate that the dishonor, be profitable, they're losing billions. they're gonna be laying off people and sword the obama administration, burma. He exactly. What's the bad administration that like weeds, I'd subsidizing this crap! Seventy Five hundred dollars a vehicle, but there's still too expensive. So here's what we're going to deal with boys, here's, what we're gonna do, what put in regulations for the environmental protection agency. that is so onerous when it comes to the automobile,
that users that combustion engine and gasoline they're going to be so onerous that will put them out of business. Then these they saps that we call the middle class. The working people, they're gonna, have to pay for these electric vehicles, whether they like it or not. As far. Chinese go the communist chinese and they they control, call bow out of the car. And lithium and all the rest of it. we did get our cut of the action. Didn't we hunter, we got our cut of the act. Yes, big guy gets MR ten percent. Oh yeah yeah, where I am so. The pines will be happy, go back to wilmington, rehoboth beach,
Hunter work go here and there in impregnate people along the way, MR producing think they call them burthen beeper yeah Biden's, got it all figured out I'll, be right back. John bellinger is a retired fbi, special agencies written a book, the fall of the fbi annually able to get on amazon com. about any other bookstore out there, but you can check him out for sure thomas baker welcome to the poor I'm tell us quickly a little bit about yourself in your background, well mark I spent over thirty three years in the fbi.
I am then after retiring. I stay closely engage the fbi as a consultant in through several associate nations I got you know, worked closely with several of the former directors ass directors and I was in the f b, I had an fbi headquarters when you were chief of staff at me got to know his anger. I need not as well as you did, but he is a man my a greatly. I work louis free and william major western there. Now I former directed I admire as well, yes and there I worked in a variety of Simon, says you see in the balkans, in the united tender and abroad. I had the opportunity to serve abroad is illegal attache and that was very eye. Opening experience you- have very thorough and deep background. Any written this book
when you take on James Comey and you take on mueller, tell us about this. Well, I think the problem of today that VI in it it's been a problem for the last four or five years, as you know, is a problem of culture. I don't think it's a matter of a few apples are you can start ticking off the names of all the bad apples you want, and I think the cultural change in the fbi begun began on the smaller and then was exacerbated by the poor leadership of the James call me, and if I could, take a minute to tell you this. I I think absolutely the moment was was muller became director just days before the september eleventh attacks and in a way that the september eleventh attacks
not a tuesday on Saturday, the Saturday morning he was after the attack. He was summoned to camp David, the presidential retreat in the mountains of maryland to give a report or the he believed is there to give a report on what the f b I had done so between tuesday Saturday morning was actually only about three and a half days of work, but in that time the f b, I did what it does best investigate,
and in that time they identified all nineteen hijackers, their associations, their financing, their rental cause, their credit cards, the connections all the way back to Al Qaeda, and he presented this report that morning to the president, George w bush in front of all his top advisers in camp David and when he was done speaking, expecting praise and thanks. Instead, George w bush turned and said to him. I don't care about that. I just want to know how you gonna prevent the next one. Shortly thereafter that morning Kennedy gave a presentation, george tenet, then the director of the cia, with a plan of action going forward when and when he was done. Speaking of george w Bush said great and he turned and looked at mahler. He said that's what I want to hear mullah was humid
he ate it now. We know this and we know the scenario, because Malo told us this several times and other people who they are told us this. But then molluscs set up out to change any said is to change the culture of the fbi. He wanted to turn away from its law enforcement mentality and become an intelligence agency at a lot of bad things. Flowed from that decision, its very, very interesting. Now How was the at and he changed the culture, the appiah? How was he as an f b? I director was a competent political, partisan, a boob. What well first of all, he was very hands on. He was very demanding
He did not like this. We all know now in many many other men will tell you this. He did not like the special agent in charge. He had been, as you probably know, in the u s attorney, to address any eu us attorney in two different cities of san francisco in Boston. He had dealt with the case agents they're here. like the agents in charge, as some people say didn't like any agents, but that's that's all a matter of opinion, but with with this the september eleventh attacks. He wanted that entire investigation handled out of headquarters by headquarters, not by any field offices. Now this is very contrary to fbi procedures. In the past, where we had an office of origin and in the september eleventh attacks, it logically would have been new york or perhaps washington field. In both cases they had international
Was that had been working on AL cater for several years already and we and they were agents in the field who had a lot of experience in in that in this type of thing, but he wanted all pulled into headquarters right under his thumb and he pushed back at anybody. You tell them differently, so that was the first case run out of headquarters later, Call me did the same thing with every can't put an email investigation and the russian collusion investigation of the trunk campaign that that had a lot of immediate bad consequences, because when you do that, when you run it out of headquarters like that, the people making the tough decisions and headquarters are the people doing the investigations, youve eliminated laser review. Typically- and I know you probably know this a mark, but typically you have a case agent.
if a field supervisor over him out the field, then the agent charge you that field office, all levels of review their headquarters held at different levels, has oversight of them more and then call me did away with all of that to these sensitive investigations, they call them headquarters specials. So you had in the presidential investigation investigation trump, you add a person making decisions. For instance, Peter struck a deputy assistant director, making the decision in the case and then literally, going out and doing the investigation conducted me interviews no review independent judgment. It was bound to end badly. Let me ask you this the well. What are the big differences between morn com? A coma strikes me as extremely political and so
the king, who sit back and wait for people at tat. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, had how do you see it? Ok, well, mauler mauler, as if it was very hands on very demanding of others. The borders. Very rigid, very demanding about very well informed, very on top of things when he was on his game. very on top and thinks call me is described to me by executives who worked with me, One who floated above at all- and I literally one guy, waved his hand over his head, describing he didn't involved in any the details he floated above it all that was Connie's management style,

A retired fbi special agent has written a fantastic book, the follow the fbi. It's on my social platforms, the link that is- and you can go directly to amazon. I can, if you'd like to order your copy a review of the book. You might remember engine it on the air a week or so ago, and so we need to have this gentleman on the programme, and here is thomas baker. about james call me the audience is: can we very curious about what you think well synopsis of the bottom line on it is I it is my opinion that james and james komi is that was the worst director of the f b. I ever had that he did more damage to the f b. I and it's reputation he of the director and you have you used the term lazy or, or you quoted somebody else who did that might be the case because he was not hands off. He was floating above at all.
Let a lot of things happen: number one: the initiation of the investigation of the president of the united states based on little or no predicate information. That was the most disastrous thing, one of the most disastrous thing that ever happened to our country. He allowed that to happen. Live laziness there may then there was a fight, a war which we could spend a lot of time, just talking about food, initiate it against an american citizen card a page he signed personally side, three of the four flies or applications or renewals, and he obviously, unlike previous wrecked is that I can talk about like william lives that he obviously didn't read that closer. We read it. He would have seen right through it that there wasn't enough predicated those warrants. They expect a general has found that out o founded.
quite early on, so he was lazy. He floated above at all, he did a lot of damage he tried to incriminate. President. He he did a memo of his initial conversation with the president trump at the time. then immediately lead the memo, rhino incriminate a precedent What will humbling do you and I knew a lot of great Men and women who worked at the fbi, the senior levels had met with them all the time. do you think you and they would be welcome with open arms back into the current f b. I like to think so I don't think so. I I have continued to talk to f b I executives and people who
simply retired, at book signings around the country, I have found it very validating- use that word that people come up to me who were executives. In fact, in the time period you're talking about who have told me, you know encouraged me and what I'm doing and still that that is heartening, and I don't think so I'll tell you why and it's in the book when bill bois became attorney general, which was six three six months, maybe eighteen months after ray christopher wray, had become F b. I director the the problems were apparent to many of us and and to him certainly and bill ball was in close contact with many former f b. I executives says: I'm not telling a secret out of school right. They've discussed that he's, disgusted
and he proposed- and I have this in the book- and I have a couple of names in the book- not all the names, because some people prefer not to have any news, but billboard close early on to re that this was a cultural problem, not a few bad apples, and he made a specific proposal of a panel of advisors of three former f b. I top executives of two to advise him and guide him to get the f b. I back on track as a law enforcement organization. Re pushed back on that idea. Now some people put simply the brain saint well, he didn't want outside interference or whatever, but he pushed back on that idea, and so a number of these men- and I talk about this towards the end of the book. When I get to the section the ugly did, in fact, informally bill born a lot of things and billboard to this day he spoke only about you
weeks ago at a national review symposium, It clearly an associated as I've been doing the problem with the f b I's the change in culture that mullah and call me crew, the baby out with the bath water when they were trying to introduce more intelligence into the f b. I, and that that is the root of the problem and the culture has to be addressed. That has to be structural changes and that's board's current words, and it certainly might thinking and that certainly the thesis in my book, but if you're, the attorney general united states- and you can't get these things done or at least get them in initiating our way, because your the director standing in the way and I'm a fan of christopher re in the least He can't do it, who the hell can do it well, the problem, I think down the road, hopefully a new administrate in a new director anew
ernie general did the direct. You can't do it himself. Yes, they have the whole management team. They have. They have to recognise the problem and I've heard re numerous times every time. One of these problems comes up. I call it the bad Oh argument, he says we got rid of these people that the people who were involved in the in the russian sure thing, then no longer with us when they went negation in michigan about the conspiracy against the governor went off the track. He had two or three of those agents fired when the investigation of the gymnast, which was handled awfully he had to add to those agents, are gone And in every time something happened he says: well, they are no longer with us in this latest thing, which is really scary. When you see these intelligence analysed to work very well
individuals and have gotten a lot more power in recent years? In the f b, I, when they were came up with a proposal to to develop intelligence on traditional list, catholics ascribing to them all kinds of evil intentions. When there is no proof- and there was no proof- what's all over and they ve never advocated violence. Much was committed any violent. That's when that old think alike. Thanks to a whistle blower re merely said: will they dont representative? Be? I value is well you gonna look at. Why is all this happening again, but culture has to be changed. We have to get back to the car.
The tuition back to our roots and law enforcement back to a law and order swear to tell the truth law enforcement mentality that there is such a difference between a law enforcement agency in intelligence agency. Unfortunately, re who had been an assistant attorney general financial security. and a lot of the intelligence analysts who risen up in the bureau in the last twenty years since september. Eleventh, they don't see this. I've talked to some of them in person, and they give you back a lot of double talk about extremists, this versus terrorists, that they don't see the need to get back to the fundamental grounding in the constitution that we used to have the respect for the constitution that wish certainly by the special agents. I ask you this: what about the year
you ve got a special council here in a warrant swap, team the goes down to mar largo. I can tell you thomas baker, that advice, had been chief of staff, and I brought to attorney general means the idea coming: prosecutors are the fbi, the waste a swat team down to georgia because Jimmy carter documents, we asked form for a period of a couple months and we all know we have them. He would have thrown me the hell out of his office. he wouldn't say we don't use warrants and swat teams against. Former presidents of the united states go down there and oh shit. All we would have picked up the phone and call them and said a lot. This is the situation suffered. We would never
I have gone through that route. Was it shocking to you as an old, f b? I guy, I don't mean age wise I mean experienced wise, were absolutely mark and what you described absolutely, as is my recollection of my experience to infill many of these things, which are essentially white cow. Crime, I mean if someone was arrested, two guys in suits entire went up to arrest them, but often these white collar crime cases you you'd at the end of the matter attorney would bring him in. You know there is an abuse. Your first of all, let me say that so many of these things that have happened then, in addition to to re falling back on, that he fired all these bad people or let them leave, which is true what they also fall back on it. So many seat is its legal. That provision
The search warrant a marilla go undoubtedly was legal undoubtably. There was an affidavit sworn before of magistrates to get that search warrant. Undoubtedly, a lot of these things are legal, but just because the legal doesn't make them right to use authority use power war power like that when its unnecessary is an abuse and that's what a lot of these things have been is an abuse of authority and abuse of power and abuse of an offer and your christopher ray you always listen again. When I was there, there was a big issue: the fbi director directly the associate attorney general, the united states, the deputy attorney general assistant attorney general for the criminal division. Shoot me twenty jan, they all be sitting around a table and discussing this didn't just happen at the at the agent.
While the special agent level, this is big, deal So they all had to sign off on a time mark your exactly right and an that's what one particular case I can manage which I think you're your period. Your time overlap some of this with amsterdam. henry and other cases that, when I was in the field, offers them we would have to take. When the subject was potential subject. Was it congressmen or a us senator or some official like that or a judge. We would have to go sit down before the direct that this is before. If the director gets to sit in on the meetings you're talking about with the attorney general, the associate attorney general we'd have to sit down with the director come over from washington field, and you know what he kept asking do you have more? Do you have more? Is this all? You have the questions. We got
these people, they went off and an initiated an investigation of a president of the united states based on a second. Hand rumour this fella papadopoulos going at a bar in london. They started that investigation we'd go over with a lot more stuff than that about it, on a congressman, for instance, and and judge Webster, the f b I director at the time which sent us back to get more. You don't have enough to go forward on this. The mentality today has because it's a loose mentality. It's an intelligence mentality and an intelligence agency operates to certain to looser standards in a law enforcement agency, as you know, every day that special agent at that level, or and the same as a policeman or police, detective they're working towards the day when they're going to have to stand up in a court room
ray we're right and and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. That's a hell of a lot different than an intelligence agency where you can engage in action as this intelligence analyse did speculating that traditional catholics who like to use I shall now already. We are democracy. Let me take Think thomas baker you're a terrific. The book is terrific. I want you to get it A lot of this will make sense been going over the last many years- the follow the fbi. Choose me. That's the name of the book, the follow the fbi you got on amazon dot com or any my social site was glenn beaten.
