Oil settles about $100 per barrel for the first time since 2022 after Iran's new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei pledges to keep the Strait of Hormuz closed. U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent say the U.S. Navy will be helping to escort tankers out of the Gulf once military conditions are met. The U.S. government has sought to further ease prices by lifting sanctions on Russian oil already in transit. Russia's ambassador to the United Kingdom, Andrey Kelin, tells CNBC that Russia stands by Iran and that the U.S. and its allies are solely to blame for the Gulf crisis. Rate cut expectations are dampened as concerns over a prolonged conflict send the dollar and yields higher while equities fall into the red.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The conflict in the Middle East is well into its second week, and just like rest of the world, Canadians are starting to see its impacts in our everyday lives - including at the gas station. Correspondence from the White House only seems to be making it worse, with oil prices heading in every which direction after a false claim from US Energy Minister Wright on the movement of an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz. The critical passway has been effectively closed by the Iranian regime.  Host Maria Kestane speaks to John Kirton, political science professor and Director of the G7 Research Group for the University of Toronto. They discuss how Canadians can make sense of what they're seeing in the Middle East, and how much worse of a hit their pockets could take.

President Donald Trump has intensified the U.S. campaign against Iran, demanding unconditional surrender from the regime and warning that any new supreme leader will not last without American approval. The ongoing conflict has driven global oil prices surging past $100 per barrel for the first time in years, disrupting supplies through the Strait of Hormuz and causing sharp rises in U.S. gas prices, which Trump dismissed as a short-term and small price to pay for eliminating Iran's nuclear threat. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, in his recent "60 Minutes" interview, defended the strategy, stating the U.S. is "on track" and "willing to go as far as we need to," including reserving the right to deploy boots on the ground if necessary, while insisting that Iran will ultimately have no choice but to surrender. He emphasized that the military is diminishing Iran's naval capabilities and confronting any external aid, such as reported Russian intelligence-sharing, strongly. Hegseth concluded by framing the operation as putting America First through decisive action to bring the enemy to its knees. WE ALSO COVER: It's official: a new ayatollah in Iran.

Die Israelies-Amerikaanse oorlog teen Iran het oliepryse die hoogte laat inskiet en dis nou die eerste keer sedert 2022 bo 100 dollar per vat. Die oorlog beteken dat minder olietenkskepe deur die Seestraat van Hormuz kan vaar, wat 'n vyfde van die wêreld se olievoorraad en groot hoeveelhede gas vervoer. Die Amerikaanse minister van Energie, Chris Wright, sê die styging kan moontlik 'n paar weke duur, maar nie maande nie:

This week on Face the Nation, as the war on Iran enters its second week, concerns about a global energy crisis are growing. U.S. and Israeli forces stepped up their bombing campaign through the weekend, targeting Iranian airports, oil depots, bases and more. President Trump promises an escalation of hostilities until Tehran offers a complete and unconditional surrender. But Iran's defiant leaders say they will never surrender, hitting back hard at U.S. facilities and allies in the region, striking oil and gas infrastructure, putting pressure on much of the world's energy supply. We speak with Energy Secretary Chris Wright about the potential for a serious global supply shock, and what it could mean for oil and gas prices in the U.S. Plus, we ask Israel's Ambassador to the U.S. Michael Leiter how his government's objectives square with U.S. goals. And we also check in with Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine. Finally, Ukraine's Ambassador Olga Stefanishyna joins us to discuss Kyiv's offer to share expertise on countering Iranian drones.

Effort would cost $10+ billion and require governor's approval Rep. Mike Lawler believes he's found the answer to soaring energy bills. Standing in the cold and drizzle at the shuttered Indian Point nuclear power plant in Buchanan on March 6, the Republican, whose House district includes Philipstown, announced an ambitious plan to rebuild and reopen the plant. "Hudson Valley families are being suffocated with rising energy costs because of Gov. [Kathy] Hochul's failed and disastrous energy policies," he said. "It is time to reverse course." He was flanked by Chris Wright, the secretary of the U.S. Department of Energy, and Kris Singh, the CEO of Holtec International, the company that owns and is in the process of decommissioning the plant. The announcement came as the Trump administration is attempting to have 10 new nuclear reactors under construction by 2030, and three smaller, experimental reactors up and running by July 4 of this year. It also comes as New York grapples with its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which cause global warming. To reach its ambitious benchmarks, the state may need to modify its 2019 climate law, which requires New York to get 70 percent of its power from renewable energy by 2030 and 100 percent zero-emissions by 2040. Nuclear energy is not renewable, but it is zero-emissions. Wright estimated that Indian Point could be reopened in five years for "a little more than" $10 billion. "The only reason this won't happen is if the politicians don't let it happen," he said. When Indian Point shut down in 2021, a legal agreement went into effect banning future nuclear energy production at the site without the unanimous consent of the Village of Buchanan, the Town of Cortlandt, Westchester County, New York State and the Hendrick Hudson School District. Although both the county and the state recently reaffirmed their commitment to keep the plant closed, Lawler thinks the governor can be convinced. "Kathy Hochul has said a lot of things over the years, including that she wouldn't approve NESE," he said, referring to the Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline. "And look what happened, she did. She said she wouldn't do congestion pricing and look at what happened. So, I don't really care what Kathy Hochul has previously said. The question is: Is there the political will to actually do something to drive down energy costs?" Buchanan Mayor Theresa Knickerbocker supports reopening. "It was a mistake to close this," she said. "It was reliable base power. I'm not against renewables. But nuclear is part of the energy equation." Getting the other four stakeholders to agree will be an uphill battle. Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said on March 6 that he hasn't changed his mind. "Let me be clear — because apparently I was not clear enough for Congressman Lawler and the Trump administration — restarting the Indian Point nuclear power plant is not welcome in Westchester County," he said in a statement. "New York State already has access to a range of low-cost, environmentally responsible energy alternatives, including solar, wind, geothermal and hydropower. We do not need — and we do not want — Indian Point back online. The health and safety of millions of residents in the Hudson Valley will always matter more than reopening a nuclear facility." Ken Lovett, a senior communications advisor on energy and the environment for Hochul, said on March 6 that the governor also isn't interested. "The governor has emphatically stated she will not support the reopening of Indian Point and is instead pushing her Ratepayer Protection Plan and a realistic energy strategy designed to keep the lights on and costs down," he said, referring to a suite of policies Hochul announced in January aimed at lowering energy bills, including tying executive pay for utility CEOs to affordability and energy assistance programs. "It's hypocritical that the same Michael Lawler who previously attacked Holtec over its decommissioni...

"Instead of asking what's broken, we shine a spotlight on what's already good in people's lives" - Elena Fairley, Mission Asset Fund & Crankstart Foundation In part 5 of our Highlight Episodes from our Covid-19 Special Series, we reveal the hidden fault lines cracking San Francisco's foundation — from a downtown office vacancy rate that's the highest in the nation to a business tax structure so complex that one company slashed its city bill by 88% simply by going remote.  You will learn how local governments in San Jose and San Rafael reinvented their operations overnight, how Mission Asset Fund is rebuilding financial access for undocumented immigrants through community-centered lending circles and micro-loans, and why the city's much-debated office-to-housing conversions remain largely theoretical.  We also decode the 2022 ballot propositions that put the future of affordable housing, homelessness oversight, and public libraries directly in voters' hands. KEY TAKEAWAYS / TIMESTAMPS [01:23] - Local governments forced to digitize overnight: lessons from San Jose & San Rafael. [13:04] - 72% of SF's GDP was concentrated in the downtown core — here's what happened to it. [20:01] - The tax loophole that's incentivizing companies to quietly abandon San Francisco. [28:15] - Office-to-housing conversions: why costs, developers, and city hall are all pointing in different directions. [35:10] - How lending circles are rebuilding financial lives for San Francisco's most invisible residents.

What if math was hiding in your laundry basket?Research suggests early math play at home may be one of the strongest predictors of long-term school success—yet it's where families feel least equipped to help. In this episode, Dr. Chris Wright, CEO and founder of Early Family Math, reimagines what "doing math" with young children actually looks like: joyful, accessible, and woven into everyday life.From counting oranges to estimating cups in a pitcher, Dr. Wright shows how small daily rituals build number sense, confidence, and persistence that travel with children through every grade. We unpack the "I'm not a math person" myth that adults unknowingly pass to kids, and why games and productive struggle beat flashcards every time.Best of all? Meaningful early math doesn't require expensive programs—just consistent math talk during routines every family already has.Whether you're a caregiver, teacher, or school leader, you'll walk away with practical, play-based strategies and free ready-to-use activities from Early Family Math.

What if the greatest obstacle to Global Mission isn't persecution, secularism, or other religions—but the people of God themselves? In this prophetic message from the Third Lausanne Congress in Cape Town (2010), Dr. Chris Wright delivers a call to the global Church. Drawing from the sweeping narrative of Scripture, he argues that the greatest hindrance to God's redemptive mission is not external resistance but internal idolatry among God's own people. He names three seductive idols—power and pride, popularity and success, and wealth and greed—and calls the Church to radical repentance marked by humility, integrity, and simplicity. MAIN POINTS The greatest obstacle to God's mission is not the world, but God's own people. Idolatry remains the central threat to authentic Christian witness. Three seductive idols distort and corrupt Christian mission: Power and pride Popularity and success Wealth and greed Jesus himself resisted these same temptations in the wilderness. The Church must undergo ongoing reformation, beginning with repentance. There is no biblical mission without biblical living. The marks of Christlike mission are humility, integrity, and simplicity. Before we seek to change the world, we must return to the Lord ourselves. CALL TO ACTION After listening, take time to pray and reflect: Where might power, recognition, or comfort be shaping your ministry more than Christ? What would humility, integrity, and simplicity look like in your leadership? Subscribe to the Lausanne Movement Podcast and share this message with a ministry leader or team who needs this challenge.

En Haïti, l'Unicef estime que les enrôlements d'enfants par les gangs ont triplé en un an et qu'aujourd'hui, les moins de 18 ans représenteraient jusqu'à la moitié de leurs membres. Plus de 80% de Port-au-Prince sont aux mains des gangs. Mais qui compose ces groupes criminels ? Comment sont-ils recrutés ? Et peuvent-ils en sortir ? D'après les chiffres de l'Unicef, 30 à 50 % d'entre eux ont moins de 18 ans. Ils sont donc des milliers à avoir été recrutés de force. Et seule une poignée d'entre eux parvient parfois à en sortir. Dans la capitale, un « centre de transit » pour enfants et adolescents les accompagne pour les aider à se réinsérer dans la société haïtienne. Un reportage de Justine Fontaine et Achim Lippold. Au-delà de ces enfants qui échappent aux gangs, les autres ne sont pas non plus épargnés par les violences. Au contraire. Beaucoup sont traumatisés, non seulement par les groupes criminels mais aussi par la police. C'est ce qu'explique Patrick Joseph, qui œuvre en tant que travailleur social dans plusieurs quartiers sous contrôle des gangs. Il a déménagé avec sa famille à quatre reprises ces dernières années. « Ce qui est difficile, c'est de se réveiller le matin sans savoir à quoi s'attendre ni ce que l'enfant va voir sur le chemin. Un jour, mon fils a vu trois, quatre cadavres sur la route de l'école. Quand je suis allé le chercher, il m'a demandé si l'on avait retiré les corps qu'il avait vus par terre », raconte Patrick Joseph au micro de RFI. La question de la police haïtienne est justement abordée par Le Nouvelliste, qui appelle à se pencher sur son fonctionnement. Il faut sauver son âme pour sauver la République, estime le rédacteur en chef du quotidien, Frantz Duval. Le Nouvelliste nous parle aussi de la volonté de la mairie de Delmas de détruire les constructions illégales qui empiètent sur les trottoirs. Nouveau revers judiciaire pour Donald Trump La presse du continent nous conduit aussi aux États-Unis, où Donald Trump vient d'enregistrer une nouvelle défaite sur le terrain judiciaire. Un grand jury de Washington a refusé mardi (10 février 2026) d'inculper six élus démocrates, deux sénateurs et quatre membres de la Chambre qui, en novembre 2025, avaient appelé l'armée à désobéir « aux ordres illégaux ». Cela avait déclenché la fureur de Donald Trump qui les avait accusés sur son réseau Truth Social de trahison, et réclamé la peine de mort. Et aux États-Unis, aujourd'hui, quand le président ordonne, le ministère de la Justice exécute. « De nos jours, écrit le Washington Post, personne au ministère de la Justice n'a la réputation ou le courage de dissuader efficacement le président de donner des ordres contre-productifs ou illégaux. C'est pourquoi les procureurs ont tenté de faire ce que Trump leur demandait. » Le FBI a commencé à enquêter. Le bureau du procureur de Washington a tenté de faire inculper les six élus. Il a affirmé qu'ils avaient enfreint une loi interdisant toute atteinte à la loyauté, au moral ou à la discipline des forces armées. Sauf qu'une telle loi, estime le Washington Post, « violerait évidemment le Premier Amendement », celui sur la liberté d'expression, « si elle criminalisait les discours politiques exhortant les membres de l'armée à respecter la loi ». « La provocation politique n'est pas un crime, rappelle le quotidien. Les membres du Congrès doivent pouvoir critiquer l'utilisation de l'armée par le pouvoir exécutif. ». Échec donc. Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'un grand jury rejette une telle demande d'inculpation. C'est même de plus en plus fréquent depuis le retour de Donald Trump à la Maison Blanche. C'est ce que relève le New York Times. Pourtant, rappelle le quotidien, ces jurys composés de citoyens ordinaires étaient jusque-là plutôt connus pour suivre les demandes des procureurs. Ou, comme l'écrit ironiquement The Nation, pour leur capacité à « inculper un sandwich au jambon ». Mais ça, c'était avant. Aujourd'hui, titre l'hebdomadaire, « les grands jurys sauvent la démocratie ». Car avant l'épisode de mardi, d'autres grands jurys locaux ont refusé d'inculper la procureure générale de New York ou des citoyens surveillant les opérations de l'ICE à Chicago. Au Venezuela, le pari d'Harry Sargeant et l'espoir d'une jeune femme En visite au Venezuela, le ministre états-unien de l'Énergie Chris Wright a promis une « hausse spectaculaire » de la production de pétrole. Cela ferait bien les affaires du magnat de l'Énergie Harry Sargeant, qui lorgne depuis des années sur les réserves du pays et qui est donc en passe de remporter son pari. Le Wall Street Journal consacre un long portrait à ce milliardaire de 68 ans qui, avant le raid du 3 janvier conduisant à l'enlèvement de Nicolas Maduro, était le seul à faire régulièrement la navette entre la résidence floridienne de Donald Trump et le palais présidentiel vénézuélien. Au point que le président déchu le surnommait affectueusement « abuelo » - « grand-père ». Au point aussi que l'activiste vénézuélien Thor Halvorssen le qualifie de « super-méchant » qui donne la priorité à son profit personnel. Toujours au Venezuela, le Parlement doit adopter ce jeudi (12 février 2026) une loi d'amnistie historique. Cela redonne de l'espoir à Angel Gomez. Elle se souvient de ce matin du 15 avril 2022, où elle avait regardé sa mère se préparer pour aller au travail. Ses bottes bien lustrées, cet insigne de la police municipale de Zamora cousu sur la manche de son uniforme. Elle pensait assister à ce moment où sa mère se transforme en super-héroïne pour affronter sa journée. C'était en fait le début d'un cauchemar qui dure depuis quatre ans. Et que nous raconte TalCual. La mère d'Angel Gomez a été inculpée notamment d'abus de pouvoir et de corruption. Treize chefs d'accusation au total, en lien avec une sombre affaire d'expropriation ordonnée par le maire de Zamora et de lutte politique. Quatre ans, donc, pendant lesquels Angel Gomez s'est tue par peur des représailles. Jusqu'au 8 janvier 2026, lorsque le président de l'Assemblée nationale a promis la libération des prisonniers politiques. Alors Angel Gomez a pris son téléphone pour raconter son histoire sur les réseaux sociaux. C'était à son tour de sauver sa super-héroïne. Aujourd'hui, à l'heure où l'Assemblée s'apprête à voter, elle se prend donc à rêver.

This week on Face the Nation, anti-ICE protests spread nationwide, and the Trump administration struggles to deal with exploding tensions around the world. Four days after an ICE agent shot and killed a protester in Minneapolis, the struggle to own the narrative of what exactly happened continues, and scrutiny over the use of force by ICE as part of the Trump administration's deportation process intensifies. We talk with Minneapolis-area Democratic Congresswoman Ilhan Omar on the latest in her home state. Then, as the deadly protests in Iran spread, are the regime's days numbered? And what's the Trump administration's red line when it comes to taking more action against Iran? Virginia Democratic Senator Tim Kaine joins us with his assessment on what's next in the region and his effort to reign in presidential war powers. Finally, the administration tries to work with what's left of Maduro's government, even as they continue to support their now imprisoned former leader as President Trump makes plans to take advantage of Venezuela's oil and mineral rich land. We ask Energy Secretary Chris Wright about where oil talks stand. Plus, Republican Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar joins us to discuss the Venezuelan opposition's path forward and the reaction in her South Florida district.

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright speaks on the US’s plans after seizing Venezuelan oil and the role major oil companies will play in investing in Venezuelan infrastructure. He speaks with Bloomberg’s Joe Mathieu and Tyler Kendall.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new year has only just begun, and already we have seen an event with massive significance for the world of energy. The US operation to remove Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro opens a new era for a country that holds – according to some definitions – the world's largest oil reserves.So far there has been little impact on oil markets. But what are the implications going to be for energy in the months and years to come? To discuss how this volatile situation might evolve, host Ed Crooks is joined by regular guest Amy Myers Jaffe, Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice and Sustainability Lab, and an expert on oil earlier in her career. History never repeats itself, the saying goes, but sometimes it rhymes. Amy draws a parallel between Venezuela today, and Iraq after the US-led invasion and the overthrow of Saddam Hussein in 2003. There are some similarities in the position of the two oil-rich countries, which were both dragged down by mismanagement and sanctions. But Amy argues that Venezuela's oil system is in far worse shape, with looted equipment, chronic power and fuel shortages, and damage that may not be reversible.Melissa Lott, another Energy Gang regular, also joins the show, and raises the question of what regime change in Venezuela might mean for the energy transition. Melissa is a partner at Microsoft, but appearing on the show in her usual role as an independent commentator and energy expert. Then it's on to the other places, people and technologies that are likely to make a big impact on energy this year. Ed is watching the Gulf Coast buildout of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants. It is a boom so big that Wood Mackenzie expects US LNG exports to roughly double from 2023 levels by around 2030, with more growth beyond.The gang assesses the likely consequences of surging LNG supplies: downward pressure on global gas prices, and potential financial strain for exporters. There is also the possibility that a peace deal in Ukraine could make the oversupply even worse, by allowing more Russian gas to flow west into European markets. Next up, it's people to watch in 2026. Melissa names the US energy secretary Chris Wright, and Ed picks new FERC chairman Laura Swett. As the US power grid, and its energy system more generally, face mounting challenges because of the growth in data centers needed for AI, effective policy and regulation will be critical. Amy chooses China's President Xi Jinping: the country's next five-year plan could reshape the global competition for energy dominance.On technologies to watch, battery storage is a hot topic. Melissa and Ed discuss the supply chains needed to meet growing demand, and innovative products such as Form Energy's iron-air batteries, which are being deployed in a first-ever commercial project that will be fully operational this year. Amy's choice is humanoid robots. They're expensive and still imperfect, but are they going to rule the future? They are already being trialled for repetitive factory tasks. Amy says her Roomba can't cope with a spilt bowl of cereal. But will new flexible AI-guided robots be able to do the job properly?Follow the show so you don't miss an episode this year – it's going to be a busy one.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A toxic white female representative from Washington state exemplifies the lunacy and triggered do-goodery of the progressive left... which is steadily destroying the democrat party. New polling suggests taking down Maduro is another 90/10 issue, with democrats again on the losing side. Energy secretary Chris Wright explains Trump's plans for Venezuela's oil, using it as leverage to ensure the country's new government falls in line with America.

There is a bright future for the United States and Venezuela, but it could be a bumpy ride. 1. President Trump's efforts to restore prosperity, safety, and security in Venezuela. This includes the US government working with interim Venezuelan authorities and private industry to market Venezuelan crude oil in the global marketplace, with the proceeds going to US-controlled accounts.2. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright's plans and vision for the US energy market, including promoting domestic rare earth production, addressing challenges facing the US electrical grid, and his views on nuclear power and the "energy edition" rather than an "energy transition".3. The impact of US military action in Venezuela on the country's power grid, and the challenges of stabilizing and rebuilding it.4. The sale of Venezuelan oil to the US, including the use of the "dark fleet" of tankers and the potential circumvention of the Jones Act.5. The cancellation of green energy and climate funding by the US Department of Energy, which the speaker views as addressing "graft and greed" in these programs.6. The analysis of the current state of the energy markets, including oil, natural gas, and utility stock prices.Time Stamps00:29 Intro02:19 The US has started marketing Venezuelan Oil 03:20 Secretary Chris Wright at the Goldman Sachs Energy Conf.05:58 Robert Bryce on the Venezuela Grid08:43 Bela 1 Dark Fleet Tanker - More to the Story11:53 Green Energy Definition -and cancellation of funds14:36 Markets, Brent and WTI1.President Trump is Restoring Prosperity, Safety and Security for the United States and Venezuela2.Goldman Sachs MD Neil Mehta speaks to Energy Sec.

Michael and I would like to take a moment and thank all of our great Subscribers and patrons this year. It has been a wildly successful growth year in listens, watches, and articles read, and we are truly blessed to see it. We are striving to improve and keep growing with some different things rolling out next year.While the cancellation is under review with the Department of War for national security risks, I think that if science is applied, it will be an easy ruling. So after reading about these cancellations, I wanted to see who would be impacted by the company and how consumers would be impacted. This will be an ongoing story as it unfolds, but the high utility costs will be passed on to consumers. And make no mistake, the Democrats will use this to their advantage, and Republicans won't do anything.President Trump and Secretaries Doug Burgum and Chris Wright are running down the road trying to do the right thing for the American People. The costs associated with the project are going to be huge, and when the Democrats start ripping President Trump over this, remember the Billions of dollars and the crippling of the economy that Obama, Biden, and the governors of Democratic states cost the US citizens by their overreach and Net Zero enforcement of horrific policies. The main topics discussed1. The Trump administration's cancellation of several major offshore wind projects in the U.S. due to national security concerns. The projects mentioned include Vineyard Wind One, Revolution Wind, Sunrise Wind, Coastal Virginia Wind Offshore, and Empire Wind.2. The potential impact of these project cancellations on companies involved, such as Dominion Energy, GE Vernova, Orsted, and Equinor. The transcript discusses the financial performance and stock price movements of these companies.3. The debate around the definition of "green energy" and the challenges of integrating renewable energy sources like wind and solar into the power grid, including issues around transmission, costs, and reliability.4. The delay or cancellation of the retirement of some fossil fuel power plants in the U.S. in response to increasing electricity demand, particularly from the growth of AI and data centers.5. The global oil market dynamics, including the "oil glut" with a large number of oil tankers at sea, the impact of sanctions on major producers like Russia and Venezuela, and discussions around OPEC's role in oil price determination.6. The overall commentary on the state of the energy industry, policy debates, and Stu's perspectives on the various topics covered.1.All Large Scale Offshore Wind Projects Under Construction Suspended Due to National Security Concerns2.Virginia-based Utility Dominion Energy May Be Hit as Investors Eye This Week's Offshore Wind Cancellations3.GE Vernova Inc: Supplier to Vineyard Wind, Looking at Its Books After This Week's Trump Administration Cancellation of Projects4.U.S. Fossil-Fuel Power Plants Delay Retirement as AI Power Demand Soars5.Oil Glut and Surging Barrels at Sea Have Spooked Oil Traders and the Market, but Is This Market Dysfunction Rather Than a Glut?6.U.S. Department of Energy to Return $13 Billion to the Treasury and a clear definition of green energy is needed.Feel Free to use this as an excuse to not hang out with your in-laws if you need to over the holidays.

Katy Grimes, Editor in Chief of the California Globe, and Mike Umbro stop by the ENB Podcast.This podcast rolled around because Katy Grimes, the Editor in Chief of the California Globe, wrote a brilliant story, “Has California's Oil and Gas Industry Hit the Point of No Return?” and in that story, she is pointing out that the National Security Risk created by Gavin Newsom's energy policies may have pushed the oil and gas business to the brink of collapse.On the podcast, we discussed that the main pipeline may shut down in weeks, meaning oil drilled in California will have to be trucked to refineries rather than put into the pipeline. Yes, you read that correctly. Shut down in weeks. We also ask, how many of those truck drivers are illegal migrants who can't read, and we need thousands of trucks that don't exist.The other huge issue is the sheer number of tankers that will be piling up off the coast, which is a real problem. There is a good chance that some are no longer part of the Dark Fleet and may not be seaworthy or insured.Key Chapter Time Stamps02:17 California's Oil Crisis is now a Security Risk04:50 California Imports 70% of the oil it requires07:09 Permitting and Regulatory issues for E&P operators10:06 Crimson Midstream Pipeline, The San Pablo pipeline potential shutdown mid-December12:21 The largest oil spills were from Tankers, and we are going to see more tankers on the water, driving potential accidents up.13:51 Shout out to Gene Nelson, PhD., whom I just interviewed, and we talked about that interview that is now in production.16:06 Nuclear plants had been shut down to make way for wind and solar installations.18:52: The oil industry is over22:05 How to fix the broken system23:55 Alaska imports jet fuel, diesel, and gasoline, causing significant environmental damage.41:18 Mike Umbro, Energy Environmentalist: Well, that's about hugs and Chris Wright.

The problem with climate alarmismJustin Rowlatt speaks to US Energy Secretary Chris Wright about his belief that the threat from climate change is exaggerated. It's a view shared by the American President, Donald Trump, and one that has seen subsidies to the renewable energy industry, worth billions of dollars, cut by the US administration. Secretary Wright is highly critical of the transition to sustainable power, describing it as unsuccessful and costly, and instead believes the solution to emissions lies in nuclear fusion. He has drawn the wrath of the international scientific community with his controversial challenge to climate orthodoxy, including his claims that there have been no increases in extreme weather events across the globe. Chris Wright was nominated by President Trump as his Energy Secretary in November 2024 after a career in the energy industry and is an outspoken opponent of global efforts to combat the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. The US President has described climate change “as the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world.” Thank you to Justin Rowlatt, Miho Tanaka and James Bryant for their help in making this programme.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover Trump's investigation into the groups behind Charlie Kirk's assassination, a second Venezuelan drug boat sunk by U.S. forces, the White House deal on TikTok, Trump's push to revive America's mining industry, and listener questions on Ilhan Omar, socialism, and whether the U.S. should split in two. From Marxist activists in Utah to uranium mines in Wyoming, today's brief connects the fights over America's culture, security, and survival.   Trump Investigates Groups Behind Charlie Kirk's Assassination: The FBI is probing ties between shooter Tyler Robinson and radical groups including Armed Queers Salt Lake City, trans activists, Marxists, online gamers, and even the “Furries.” VP JD Vance vowed to dismantle institutions like the Soros Open Society and Ford Foundation if found complicit, urging Americans: “When you see someone celebrating Charlie's murder, call them out. And call their employer.” Bryan warns that Marxist Queer Theory's strategy is to radicalize youth, break families, and build a socialist revolution.   U.S. Sinks Second Venezuelan Drug Boat: Trump confirmed the Navy destroyed another cartel vessel, killing three traffickers and scattering cocaine and fentanyl across the sea. “BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!” he declared. Behind the scenes, Trump's CIA is quietly working with vetted Mexican Navy and Army units to target cartel leaders, leaving Mexico's president to deny cooperation in public while relying on U.S. intelligence in private.   TikTok Deal With China Raises Concerns: The White House reached a framework deal to keep TikTok running under new U.S. ownership, but China secured concessions on investment barriers and trade. Trump's team insists Beijing needs the deal more, as China's economy just suffered its worst month of the year. Bryan warns, “This President likes to make deals with Beijing… I'm nervous.”   Trump Builds Uranium Reserve to End Dependence on Russia: Energy Secretary Chris Wright announced a plan to stockpile uranium for America's 94 nuclear reactors, as Russia still supplies 25 percent of U.S. needs. The administration will repurpose $2 billion in Biden-era funds for critical minerals, including $500 million in cobalt and new reserves of bismuth, a metal once sold off by Bill Clinton. Bryan calls the Mineral Wars “one of Trump's most important legacies” if successful.   Listener Questions — Ilhan Omar, Socialism, and National Divorce: Bryan tells Nichole from Maryland that Omar should face a DNA test with her alleged brother, and if confirmed, be “denaturalized and deported on Air Pinochet.” Robert from Virginia flagged new polling showing Democrats prefer socialism, which Bryan calls “dense and dangerous.” And Morris from the Ozarks asked about national divorce, but Bryan warns partition would collapse America into chaos: “This is our country. We will either defend and reclaim it, or we will fall trying — just like Charlie did.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Charlie Kirk assassination Armed Queers Salt Lake City, Tyler Robinson shooter investigation, JD Vance Soros Ford Foundation quote, Queer Theory Marxism youth radicalization, Trump Navy sinks Venezuelan drug boat, CIA Mexico cartel targeting, Trump TikTok China deal, China economic slowdown August 2025, Trump uranium reserve Chris Wright, U.S. cobalt bismuth mineral wars, Ilhan Omar DNA brother marriage fraud, Democrat socialism poll Data for Progress, Marjorie Taylor Greene national divorce
