Donald Trump delivered a major speech on election integrity, announcing upcoming declassifications revealing foreign interference, especially from China, who accessed over 220 million U.S. voter files. In this video, I break down the key points: the need for photo ID and proof of citizenship, limits on mail-in ballots, massive vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure, and the statistical anomalies from 2020 (including the bellwether counties).I also discuss why election integrity is foundational for conservatives and Christians, the Save America Act, and why we should be encouraged that real action is finally being taken.patreon.com/jonharrispodcast00:00 – Intro: Trump's Big Speech on Election Integrity 00:30 – Personal Experience with Loose Voting Standards 01:39 – The Save America Act: Photo ID, Proof of Citizenship, Mail-In Limits 02:57 – Trump's Announcements: Declassification & China's Role 03:42 – 220 Million Voter Files Accessed by China 04:59 – Intelligence Community Cover-Up & 2018 Meddling 05:19 – 270,000 Non-Citizens Registered to Vote 05:57 – Remembering 2020: Dominion, Smartmatic & Statistical Anomalies 06:22 – The 19 Bellwether Counties Breakdown (2000–2024) 08:50 – January 6th Context & Pennsylvania Legislature 10:34 – Hope for Real Answers Under Trump 11:02 – Don't Automatically Distrust the Government 13:14 – Why Election Integrity Is the #1 Issue 16:56 – Moral & Biblical Perspective on Fair Elections 17:07 – Addressing Critics Like Thomas Massie 18:41 – Personal Update: Evergreen Conference & Upcoming Events 21:16 – Closing EncouragementSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In Episode 489 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with historian Mary Bridges, a senior fellow at the Vanderbilt Policy Accelerator and author of Dollars and Dominion, about the origins of America's financial empire, the rise of the dollar from a second-rate currency to the most decentralized form of international money in world history, and what could accelerate or inhibit its continued domination. The first hour traces the origins of America's financial empire following the end of the Spanish-American War, when the dollar wasn't in the same league as the British pound and any American trader moving goods abroad had to go directly through London. Bridges walks us through the messy, often improvised story of how that transformation happened—beginning with the multinational expansion of the International Banking Corporation and its eventual absorption into National City Bank, the entanglement of profit-seeking enterprise with the pursuit of empire, and the central role that information, its creation, organization, and dissemination, played in laying the infrastructure for American financial hegemony. The second hour traces the dollar's evolution into the most decentralized form of international money in world history, embedded in every aspect of global trade and commerce. It then turns to a discussion about the pressures and competition facing the dollar today and what could accelerate or inhibit its continued use as a medium of exchange and store of value internationally. The episode closes with a discussion of Bridges's work on American shipbuilding and maritime power, and her argument that rebuilding America's industrial base will require the kind of government–private sector partnership that has historically built the country's most strategically vital industries—the full public commitment the United States tends to muster only when it decides a sector is too important to leave behind.

Today, Joe pulls back the curtain on the coordinated assault to dismantle American sovereignty from the inside out. We trace the threads of the 2020 election back to the key players—examining the shocking history of Dominion's Eric Coomer, foreign interference warnings from Tulsi Gabbard, and Donald Trump's highly anticipated, bombshell-filled primetime address. Joining us to break down the legal and technical battlelines are election integrity advocates Patrick Byrne and attorney Peter Ticktin, exposing the raw vulnerabilities of our voting systems and the relentless lawfare used to silence those who dare to speak the truth.But this isn't just about machines; it's about the devastating reality of what happens when the will of the people is subverted. We take you directly to the frontlines of our crumbling cultural landscape—from the suspicious demolition of a historic 174-year-old New York church under radical leadership, to socialist-backed agendas targeting our youth, to the lawless open-air markets of stolen goods currently lining the streets of Queens under AOC's watch. This is the grim, daily reality ushered in by compromised leadership and stolen elections, designed to strip away our heritage and security.This episode is a vital wake-up call and a roadmap for restoration. As Karoline Leavitt delivers a fierce defense of Trump's election integrity agenda, we look at the critical legislative fight for the SAVE America Act. Do not miss this explosive broadcast as we connect the dots between compromised voting booths and the degradation of our streets, arming you with the undeniable facts and evidence needed to reclaim the republic.

Jay Clayton, questioned by Jon Ossoff and then Mark Warner, gets as close as any Trump nominee has to acknowledging 2020, allowing that Biden won the Electoral College and that Congress certified it, while still avoiding the popular vote. Hawk notes the pattern across every nominee for a year and a half. The real news is John Cornyn. Pressed on the roughly $1.8 billion settlement fund, Blanche did not reassure him, and Cornyn told CNN's Manu Raju he is truly undecided, with Thom Tillis wanting the fund fully dead. On an 11-10 Judiciary Committee, one Republican no vote ends it. Hawk also covers the judge who called the underlying case a fraud on the court.

The series completes itself with a look at the grandaddy of them all, Shaun Monson's 'Earthlings'. Although food has been the main focus of the series, this documentary also looks at the use of animals as pets (even that isn't always pretty), for clothes, for entertainment and finally for scientific experiments. Shaun's 2015 sequel 'Unity' is in the show notes below. Antony also mentions a couple of Australian documentaries that are even harder to watch than 'Earthlings' (if that's even possible), and offers some final statements and some attempt at a conclusion. General series notes We all know it's happening. We all know it's horrific but try to tell ourselves it's not that bad and if we just buy free-range eggs we can square it with our conscience and sleep peacefully. However, research and just a small sample of the copious amounts of truly heartbreaking video footage available makes it clear that it is far, far worse than we think (note- the information in this podcast series is actually quite sanitised compared to other testimonies and footage out there). Who is to blame? The consumer or the industry? It seems to be a chicken-and-egg situation that could be improved greatly by the average consumer deciding to invest time in discovering what is behind some of the shameful (and shameless) propaganda techniques employed by the food industry. As should be clear in the series, the animals are the biggest victims but not the only ones, which is obvious when you research the state of meat, eggs and dairy that is routinely passed as 'safe to consume'. To gain a better industry of how and why this nasty business is allowed to happen, a recommended companion piece is the excellent documentary 'The Corporation' and indeed the previous LALO episode on it (see show notes for both). We really owe it to ourselves and the animals who largely live miserable, hellish lives before suffering painful and brutal deaths, to make the effort in the ultimate information age to inform ourselves of the real situation. Unfettered capitalism cannot be allowed to run riot without resistance. Do I recommend watching the documentaries and other video footage available? I'm going to say yes but please proceed with caution and I would actively discourage viewing them if you feel in a vulnerable or depressive state because they have the power to make you question whether true humanity exists and how we can possibly behave in this kind of way to innocent, defenceless beings (once again, I would also include some humans in this). As the saying goes, 'once you've seen it, you can't unsee it', and as Ed Winters aka Earthling Ed says at the end of 'Land of Hope And Glory', 'you can never again say you didn't know'. While listening, consider/research the following; normalisation, desensitisation, disassociation, cultural reinforcement, cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, power(lessness), exploitation, deception, isolation, (relative) value of life, respect, compassion, sympathy, mercy, humanity.

Using a Nicolle Wallace MSNBC segment and his copy of Jack Smith's indictment, Hawk revisits the record. Trump was indicted on more than 40 felony counts across two jurisdictions for trying to overturn 2020, lost some 60 lawsuits, and his attorneys and fake electors were later charged. He also notes the reported White House task force preparing to release documents, and figures like Tulsi Gabbard and Bill Pulte tied to the declassification push. Hawk walks through Ari Melber's timeline of the 2020 effort, from Rudy Giuliani's suits and the fake elector slates to the pressure on Brad Raffensperger and Mike Pence, and asks whether Fox News, after its roughly $787 million Dominion settlement, will risk airing these claims again.

What would it look like to build your own Personal Curriculum around veganism, animal advocacy, and our relationships with other animals?This week, Michele introduces a summer reading series centered around her Personal Curriculum for the summer of 2026 and invites the listeners to join her.Shared references can help us have better conversations — more precise, more thoughtful, and more useful — especially in a world where we are often working from different facts, different frameworks, and different emotional starting points.Documentaries like Cowspiracy, Earthlings, The Game Changers, and Dominion have helped bring countless people into the vegan and plant-based conversation. But books offer something different: the chance to slow down, build an argument, question assumptions, take notes, push back, and develop a more durable intellectual framework.Deep reading can help us become harder to fool, better able to name what we are seeing, and more equipped to understand the language used around food, animals, “humane” labels, sustainability, health, and ethics. Maybe reading is an important form of activism. What books have shaped YOUR thinking? What belongs in a shared set of references for vegan and animal advocacy conversations? What perspectives are missing from the usual lists? What have you read recently that challenged you, changed you, frustrated you, or helped you think more clearly?Books Michele is considering for her personal curriculum:Animal Liberation by Peter SingerWhy We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows by Melanie JoyEating Animals by Jonathan Safran FoerThe Sexual Politics of Meat by Carol J. AdamsDominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy by Matthew ScullySome We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat by Hal HerzogMichele wants to hear from you:What books belong in this conversation? Particularly those from a non-white, indigenous or colonialized perspective.Which books shaped your vegan, vegetarian, plant-based, or animal advocacy practice?Which arguments have helped you? Which ones have not?You can leave a short voicemail through SpeakPipe, DM Michele on Instagram at @Vedge_Your Best, or send an email to info@micheleolendercoaching.comBy leaving a voicemail, you are giving permission for your message to potentially be played on a future episode of Vedge Your Best podcast.No mandatory homework.

This week Pastor Paul finished up the Faith of our Fathers series with a sermon from May 1776. In this sermon, Paul gave us areas where God's providence is in play and what our defiance proves to be true about us. Is victory possible? If so, what things must we do? Listen in to find out.
Jon Herold digs into Trump firing the remaining Election Assistance Commission leadership and traces the history of the agency, from its role distributing COVID era election funds to its Dominion voting system certification timeline, connecting it to his long running election integrity coverage. He also unpacks reports that Israel shared intelligence about an Iranian assassination plot against Trump, which he ties to the plane swap and the renewed Iran bombing campaign. Rounding things out are Trump's Truth Social threat to withhold his signature on the housing bill without the Save America Act, a Qatari mediated push for new Iran talks, and a dig into whether CrowdStrike still has a hand in election security. Sponsor reads and some candid chat exchanges about karma, trust, and helping people keep the show moving at its usual loose pace.
Send us Fan Mail“Sin shall not have dominion over you.” If that line from Romans 6:14 sounds too bold for the week you've had, you're exactly who we're talking to. We slow down and press on the difference between a command you might fail and a promise God guarantees, then we follow the ripple effects into assurance, sanctification, and real-life obedience. We talk about why grace is not a softer version of law, and why “under grace” is not a license to drift. Gratitude becomes the engine for holiness as we yield our minds, hands, and whole selves to God as instruments of righteousness. We also address discouragement head-on: it's normal to feel downcast, but it's not a reason to forget what Christ has done or to live like sin is still your king. Then we tackle the controversy: can a true believer lose salvation? We argue that Romans 6:14 is comfort for Christians, not a carrot-and-stick threat, and that mixing Christ's work with law-keeping turns the gospel into a performance contract. The law exposes sin, but grace brings liberation, power, and a new identity in Christ's kingdom.

Send us Fan MailNothing you do is neutral. That's the uncomfortable claim we keep circling back to as we open Romans 6:13 and ask the question that exposes everything: who is your master? We talk about how sin doesn't just tempt you toward “big” outward failures. It tries to recruit your mind, your mouth, your imagination, your habits, and your body into its service, one small yield at a time.From there we lean into spiritual warfare and the real-life tension of flesh versus spirit. We unpack why temptations can hit harder when your life starts producing genuine fruit, and we slow down on James 4:7 because the order matters: submit to God, resist the devil, and he will flee. We also challenge the idea that “tribulation” is only something external or future, and we bring it back to the daily internal battle where obedience actually happens.A major turning point is the word instruments. We explore why Paul's language is closer to weapons than tools, and what it looks like to weaponize righteousness instead of weaponizing our faculties for unrighteousness. Along the way we talk motives, why two people can do the same outward “good deed” with totally different spiritual weight, and how consecration, holiness, and sanctification all point to being set apart for God's use. We finish with resurrection identity: if you're alive from the dead in Christ, act like it.Subscribe for more Bible-centered conversations, share this with a friend who's fighting the same fight, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Send us Fan MailResurrection isn't a misty “spiritual afterlife” idea for us. We're talking about something concrete and personal: this same mortal body goes into the ground, and God raises it up, changes it, and glorifies it just like Jesus Christ after His resurrection. That means no reincarnation, no anonymous replacement body, and no losing who we are. It also means we will recognize one another, and we will see the same Christ the apostles saw, now exalted in a real, physical body.That hope isn't just future-facing theology. We connect it straight to Romans 6: “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body.” Paul commands believers to resist sin because a believer has been transferred into a new kingdom, united to Christ, and made capable by the Holy Spirit. We talk honestly about how preaching can go wrong when it treats salvation as a self-powered decision, and why spiritual inability is real apart from God giving eyes to see and ears to hear.Then we get practical about sanctification. Sin tries to rule through lust and disordered desire, using the body as its instrument, but our “members” can be yielded to God as instruments of righteousness. We even use a modern gut brain axis analogy to picture how desire can be redirected from the inside out, along with the firstfruits promise that Christ guarantees the quality of the harvest that follows Him.Subscribe for more Bible-centered conversations, share this with someone wrestling with assurance or temptation, and leave a review.

Send us Fan MailSin feels stubborn for a reason: it does not vanish at conversion, but it also does not get to wear the crown anymore. We open Romans 6:12–14 and follow Paul's logic from union with Christ to daily sanctification, where the command is clear: do not let sin reign, do not offer your members as instruments for unrighteousness, and yield yourself to God. The big relief is that Paul is not asking us to achieve death to sin through our own strength. He is calling us to live consistently with what God has already accomplished through Jesus. We also tackle a hard question that sits under a lot of modern Christian anxiety: does salvation begin with our free will, our intelligence, or our “right moment,” or is it a sovereign work of grace from start to finish? From there, we describe sin as a dethroned tyrant, still fighting to reclaim authority through temptation, weakness, and the tactics of spiritual warfare. That framing explains why the struggle can be intense while the outcome is secure. The fight is real, but dominion is broken. Then we slow down on Paul's phrase “mortal body.” We clarify what it means to say the body is not sinful in itself, while still being the place where inward corruption expresses itself through appetites, habits, and old patterns. The conversation moves into resurrection and “flesh,” distinguishing physical flesh from “flesh” as the sinful principle, and why Christian hope is not escaping a body but receiving a glorified one like Christ's. If you want a more grounded, Bible-shaped view of temptation, assurance, and Christian growth under grace, listen through and share it with someone who feels stuck.

Continuing with this most upsetting but vitally important topic, Antony completes his look at 'Land of Hope And Glory', discusses the big myth about tradition and change and then switches to a new documentary called 'The Dying Trade'. This film was made by Jack Hancock, who gives the issue a new spin by exploring his relationship with his father, who just happens to be a man-and-boy slaughterhouse worker (Antony avoids euphemistic words like 'abattoir' throughout this series). Along the way, Jack meets a Holocaust survivor and such legends as Temple Grandin and Gail Eisnitz. As Upton Sinclair famously said, 'it's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on him not understanding it'. This second part ends with testimonies from some rather brave slaughterhouse workers, who are largely victims themselves working in a stressful and terrifying environment which is, as Shaun Monson puts it, 'both a kitchen and a toilet'. General series notes We all know it's happening. We all know it's horrific but try to tell ourselves it's not that bad and if we just buy free-range eggs we can square it with our conscience and sleep peacefully. However, research and just a small sample of the copious amounts of truly heartbreaking video footage available makes it clear that it is far, far worse than we think (note- the information in this podcast series is actually quite sanitised compared to other testimonies and footage out there). Who is to blame? The consumer or the industry? It seems to be a chicken-and-egg situation that could be improved greatly by the average consumer deciding to invest time in discovering what is behind some of the shameful (and shameless) propaganda techniques employed by the food industry. As should be clear in the series, the animals are the biggest victims but not the only ones, which is obvious when you research the state of meat, eggs and dairy that is routinely passed as 'safe to consume'. To gain a better industry of how and why this nasty business is allowed to happen, a recommended companion piece is the excellent documentary 'The Corporation' and indeed the previous LALO episode on it (see show notes for both). We really owe it to ourselves and the animals who largely live miserable, hellish lives before suffering painful and brutal deaths, to make the effort in the ultimate information age to inform ourselves of the real situation. Unfettered capitalism cannot be allowed to run riot without resistance. Do I recommend watching the documentaries and other video footage available? I'm going to say yes but please proceed with caution and I would actively discourage viewing them if you feel in a vulnerable or depressive state because they have the power to make you question whether true humanity exists and how we can possibly behave in this kind of way to innocent, defenceless beings (once again, I would also include some humans in this). As the saying goes, 'once you've seen it, you can't unsee it', and as Ed Winters aka Earthling Ed says at the end of 'Land of Hope And Glory', 'you can never again say you didn't know'. While listening, consider/research the following; normalisation, desensitisation, disassociation, cultural reinforcement, cognitive dissonance, confirmation bias, power(lessness), exploitation, deception, isolation, (relative) value of life, respect, compassion, sympathy, mercy, humanity.

Allen Hall: Welcome to the Uptime Wind Energy podcast. I’m your host, Allen Hall, and I’m here with Matthew Stead and Yolanda Padron. Rosemary is at GWO training this week. And we have an announcement about Wind Energy O&M Australia 2027. Matthew, you wanna give all the details? Matthew Stead: Drum roll Um, very pleased to announce that WOMA 2027 will be at the East Pullman Hotel in Melbourne’s east, uh, not the other one, and, uh, 3rd to 5th of March. Um, the first two days will be two days of wind O&M, uh, conferences, [00:01:00] uh, and then the Friday will be a half-day, uh, training session. More information to come. Allen Hall: Well, she’s not here, so we can probably just announce it, that Rosemary will be giving a terrific four-hour-long seminar on blades and blade repair, so you sign up now. Matthew, where do you go if you wanna just check out what’s happening at WOMA Matthew Stead: 2027? Uh, well, actually, it’s woma2027.com. Allen Hall: Uh, over at GE Vernova and LM Wind Power, there’s been a whole bunch of turmoil over the last couple of years if you haven’t been paying attention. Well, GE Vernova just injected about a billion dollars into that company. So although LM recently has shown very little in terms of revenue, it definitely had needed some capital injection in, uh, at least according to the Danish press, the number of employees at the Danish site is about 20 to 30. So it’s really a fraction of what it once was. But [00:02:00] it does seem like GE is paying off all its existing debt and then giving it a little bit of a cash infusion to keep it rolling. The question really is, is what is GE Vernova gonna do with that business now? Are they planning on keeping it? Are they trying to get s- to get it back to health where they can service the other, uh, OEMs that they manufacture blades for? Or is there a larger action that will happen in the near future? What do we think? Matthew Stead: Yeah, I’m really confused by this one. I mean, a cash injection just so that you’re not bankrupt on paper is, um, that’s just playing with money as far as I’m concerned. Or I’m not sure if it’s a US term, but, you know, shuffling deckchairs on the Titanic. It doesn’t– Does it change anything? Allen Hall: Well, uh, th- they made no announcements about closing facilities. The LM blade facility in North Dakota still appears to be making blades. There’s the TPI factories, which are going through a transition r- right now, appear to be making GE [00:03:00] blades. I, I assume Gaspé up in Canada is still making blades, at least that’s the story. If GE’s gonna rely upon LM to make blades, they’re gonna need to keep them open. Is, is this more of just keeping the factories open with a skeleton engineering crew and possibly moving the blade design group into the States? Is that– Or India or, or somewhere? Yolanda Padron: And they’re still selling, right? They’re still selling blades. It seems like they’re still planning on manufacturing blades. Do we think that maybe- They’re just trying to avoid that whole TPI bankruptcy deal to not have to kind of scrap for parts? Allen Hall: Yeah, it’s a great question. I think TPI has been producing parts at high quantity, and some of the Things I’ve heard from the industry folk is that TPI is really busy in producing quality blades, and it’s like the bankruptcy transaction is not happening, which is great to hear because the [00:04:00]industry needs blades, and there’s a lot of repowering going on in the United States and a lot of activity in general, so they need blades. But does LM continue to be a part of that? Matthew Stead: Yeah, I mean, presumably the TPI, um, whole story only makes LM more important, you know, more important to have, uh, an additional manufacturer and, you know, providing, you know, options for the OEMs. Allen Hall: It does seem like, though, the GE offshore, GE Vernova offshore is not a thing. Although I’ve heard a couple of rumors that, yeah, GE Vernova is offering some products for offshore, it doesn’t seem like their heart is in it. I can see that happening. So are they just trying to focus on onshore business, and that’s it for the time being? Just let it play out and, uh, wait until the elections in 2028? I know that’s gonna get me blocked on YouTube, but that, that does feel like what’s happening at the moment. Matthew Stead: Yeah, I reckon it looks completely like that. Yolanda Padron: I mean, it also looks like they’re [00:05:00] just kind of trying to play everything a little bit more safe, right? So they are scaling up, but not as fast as they used to, so scaling the blade sizes. And then they’re– it seems like they’re, they’re having their FSAs cut quite a bit shorter than they used to, right? So are they maybe just trying to focus on, like, cash up front and just trying to play it safe until they can get their, their footing right again? Allen Hall: Or is it focus on key customers? I could see GE Vernova actually doing that, that they have a history with certain operators worldwide, and they’re just gonna focus on producing and delivering for those customers. Because you don’t see a lot of announced orders for GE turbines. Vestas is announcing things practically every week. Nordex is doing something similar. Siemens once in a while. But what you really don’t hear anything from in any quantity at [00:06:00] all at the moment is from GE Vernova. When a company needs cash badly enough, even the crown jewels go on the block. And EDF, the French state-owned utility, has to fund the upkeep of 57 aging nuclear reactors and build six new ones, so it is selling. EDF has agreed to hand its US and Canada renewables business, EDF Power Solutions, to the private equity firm KKR. The business runs 5.6 gigawatts of renewable assets across the two countries. Late last year, EDF’s chief executive floated selling anywhere from half to all of the unit in a deal that could be, well, it’s reported to be about $4.2 billion. That’s the latest news I’ve heard. This is a big transaction. KKR is Canadian, right? And is a massive investment firm Uh, which I, I don’t think have a lot of wind at the moment. Uh, what is the [00:07:00] KKR play here? Matthew Stead: I, I love this because this is, uh… So obviously I’m Australian, and Macquarie is a big Australian. So, um, Macquarie own a whole lot of wind farm, a whole lot of wind infrastructure. So I just see this as a wonderful g- you know, fight between KKR and Macquarie. And so KKR has a whole lot of, um, they o- they’ve got some, you know, stake in Australian wind farms. They’ve got some work, you know, through Europe with wind farms. So I, I, I think this is a good thing, just a bit more global competition and a bit more global growth. And I think it’s all coming from the data centers and, you know, the future increase in growth of, um, demand. Allen Hall: Yolanda, EDF’s wind fleet is a variety of turbines, right? They have some GE, some Siemens. Anything else in their portfolio? Yolanda Padron: I think they have a bit of Vestas there too, right? Is it something that we were saying? It’s– I think this is really interesting. Um, I know that there’s not– I mean, of course EDF is the latest, but there’s some [00:08:00] operators that seem to be, um, consolidating into a bit more of those just higher private equity firms, and it’s– Do we think that maybe this is the way that the US is going to lean towards? I know we talked a lot about leaning towards funding the data centers and maybe a bit more the behind the meter things. Uh, but do we think that maybe that’s the future of the US? There’s a couple of companies that kind of just own all the major infrastructures and then- A Allen Hall: couple Canadian companies. Yolanda Padron: And what does it mean for, like, asset management and stuff, like, that’s really, really different from what they’re seeing in their desks in New York and stuff, and just the larger financial models versus what’s happening on the ground, and how will they connect everything? Allen Hall: It’s a great question. Matthew Stead: NextEra and Dominion, you know, things are only getting bigger. Scale’s, scale’s coming. Allen Hall: Yeah. I wonder how much, uh, this transaction will have to go through regulators in the US, uh, because it scares me when you have a, a– such a [00:09:00] large foreign national company. There’s actually two involved in here, right? So you, you have a, a French company and a Canadian company trying to transact on, in the United States on a lot of assets. Uh, it probably won’t be that quick if there’s any oversight at all. I, I’m guessing that we’ll hear noise about it. So we’re, we’ll have to keep listening to all the news sources about it and, and telling our valued listeners what’s going on. Because there’s, uh, we know a whole bunch of people that work at EDF and like, love those people and are really concerned about what the future holds for them. I, at least it sounds like upfront that KKR is just gonna continue with operations, but I know, uh, uh, it’s a turbulent time, and if you work there, you, you hopefully things continue the way they’re, they’re supposed to because One of the things about EDF historically has been is that they’re really talented people, that they have hired well over time and that they know what they’re doing. And every time we, Weather Guard and [00:10:00] Yolanda and I’m sure Matthew have dealt with EDF quite a bit They are on top of what they’re operating. They know how their assets work, and they know how to manage them, and so you’d hate to lose those people in a transaction like this. It would decrease the value of the assets, I would say. Very interesting transaction. Matthew Stead: Yeah. But, I mean, what if the counter, what if, um, this is all part of a, a growth strategy? You know, a growth strategy with wind, solar, and battery, you know, providing more power. So it might actually be an opportunity. So, you know, opportunity to do more and some more exciting work across all three disciplines. Allen Hall: Definitely so. Uh, but it’s a little early. The ink hasn’t dried yet on the contract. So while offshore market pulls back in general, in a lot of places like the United States, another one is racing ahead. In, in South Korea’s latest offshore wind auction, one name walked away with the lion’s share, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, CIP. The Danish fund [00:11:00] secured more than one gigawatt of the 1.8 gigawatts on offer, including the single largest project and the only floating wind winner. And the appetite was record-breaking. They had a whole bunch of developers trying to bid on this. You had about 3.7 gigawatts being bid in, more than twice of the capacity available. So for a country that only began competitive offshore bidding in 2022, that’s a few short years ago, that market is coming of age. This is a huge announcement by CIP, right? That, uh, they have bid into the system. They’re, they’re winning, and they’re bringing Siemens Gamesa to the table, which we haven’t heard a lot of Siemens Gamesa’s turbines being selected, but this is a massive order and really gonna help secure at least some portion of, of the Siemens Gamesa business. Matthew, you’re closer to it. In, in South Korea, are you seeing the South Korean industry being built within [00:12:00] the country, or are you seeing, uh, partnerships with surrounding countries like Japan? ‘Cause it doesn’t seem like when– and I’ve looked at some of the South Korea, uh, efforts. It does seem like they’re trying to stand up their own offshore built-in country plan. Is, is that the goal? You think Siemens is gonna end up building a, a factory in, in South Korea for some of these projects? Matthew Stead: Maybe a couple of things. First of all, I have to apologize. I think, uh, we were talking the other week, and I, I, I sort of implied that floating offshore wind was dead, and I think we copped a bit of flack from that. But, uh, anyway, wrong, wrong on, uh, Allen Hall: floating offshore is dead. Matthew Stead: Um, but um, you know, I’ve had a fair bit of interaction with, uh, South Korean, um, you know, Philippines, Japan, obviously. I think they’re all trying to get their industries up, but I, I don’t think they’ve got the scale So, you know, I think they, they really need like the Siemens Gamesas, the Vestas’s, um, to come in and, and partner with them. I just don’t think they’ve got the scale, you know, the, the [00:13:00] installed fleet, the industry to really promote it. And, you know, to get the economies of scale, they’re gonna have to pull in the big existing incumbents. So, you know, good on CIP for, for pulling this off. Allen Hall: In terms of South Korea industry, I think steel is one of their strongest, uh, industries at the moment, and obviously shipbuilding. Those are the, that go hand in hand, so to speak. There’s a lot of steel in wind turbines, and particularly in floating offshore wind turbines. It would seem ripe for South Korea to get into that marketplace. Matthew Stead: I’m not sure the intellectual property is in steel tubes. Um, I, I guess what I’m trying to say is the intellectual property is in the turbine nacelle and the blades and, um, you know, I, you know, correct what I said that, you know, obviously the steel and the steel manufacturing in South Korea is, is pretty amazing. Um, but yeah, they’re clarifying what I said before. Allen Hall: So is this gonna turn into the leading floating project in the world? You know, Greenvolt’s gonna happen in the [00:14:00] UK. There’s some talk of things up in Scandinavia. But in terms of speed, will this be one of the leading candidates in t- in getting things in the water just because of the capability of South Korea to, to build at scale? I Matthew Stead: think it’s really exciting. Yeah, I, I’m, I’m gonna watch very closely. Allen Hall: I think this is gonna be amazing. I really do. Yolanda Padron: I was gonna say, could you imagine, like, a, a turbine and a blade where everything is just perfectly manufactured or close to perfectly manufactured? I g- I went to one farm last week, and there were… I mean, it was in the States, and there were so many patches on new blades. I was just talking to the people in operations like, “What’s, what’s going on here?” You know? Uh, so it’s just really… I don’t know. This is exciting. Matthew Stead: Do you think, um, they’ll build a blade factory, Yolanda? Do you think they’ll actually take on the blades? Yolanda Padron: I don’t know. Uh, I, I mean, it’d, it’d be great for them, I think, right? It’s a new area of business that they’re diving [00:15:00] into. Allen Hall: If they don’t have to build the building at the port, I think Siemens would be willing to erect something near the shoreline. And in Korea, there’s a lot of major industry right on the shoreline. It would be relatively easy, I think. You know, ev- it sounds easy now because you’re not actually doing it. But in terms of, you know, building a blade factory on the coastline of United States versus doing it in South Korea, South Korea’s gonna be way easier to do that and at scale quickly. That, that one seems like a win-win. I d- if there’s any place on the planet that could do it quick besides the UK or, you know, Denmark, someone like Netherlands, someplace like that, Germany, it’s gonna be South Korea. Matthew Stead: Maybe that’s a bet, you know. So prove me wrong again. My money at the moment is that Nacelles blades won’t be coming from South Korea. Allen Hall: Well, if they don’t come from South Korea, they’re gonna be on a South Korea-built ship. We’ll be bringing th- those [00:16:00] blades in country. That’s what will happen. So wind is getting its own set of financial instruments, which sounds weird, right? Wind is wind. It’s in a very legacy style industry. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange is planning to launch wind derivatives across three continents, which are contracts that are tied to the grid in Texas, the markets in the UK and Germany, and just the Victoria state in Australia. So today, most weather hedging happens through one-off over-the-counter deals that are sort of hard to trade and thin on liquidity, so it’s not a commodity you can pass around. A standardized exchange-listed contract changes all that. A utility or a wind farm owner could lock in a hedge in about 15 minutes. The contracts would settle against independent data that models how much power the wind should have produced in a given place, likely supplied by [00:17:00] the Finnish firm, drum roll, Vaisala. Plans are not final, but they could go live within months. So they’re hedging on the wind. Does this sound like a smart move, or w- what are some of the consequences of this? Matthew Stead: I think it goes back to that volatility. W- when there’s volatility, people can make money. Um, you know, and a side note, that’s where, that’s where offshore wind comes in because it’s much more predictable. Um, you don’t get the same lulls with offshore wind. Yeah. So I, I, I love all these, these creative ways of, um, generating, generating demand, financial demand. Allen Hall: It can be played though, right? I mean, that’s one of the things about wind, ’cause each turbine is its own separate little power plant that all connect to a substation, so if you have bought a hedge and the substation goes kaput for 24 hours, you could lose your shirt. It does seem kind of risky, depending on what the scale is here. If you’re doing all of Texas or all of [00:18:00] Victoria, maybe that makes a little more sense, but yikes. That’s gonna be a rough market. Yolanda Padron: Yeah, the market’s already open, right? Like, you can bid day ahead, um, instead of just real-time prices. But so this, this would be really interesting for owners, right? To be able to track that a lot better than just that gut feeling, which obviously I know people working in trading aren’t just going off of their gut feeling. I know it’s a very, very intense thing. Nobody go against me, please. This is very intense, and it’s better– They do a better job than I could ever do. They do great, 10 out of 10. But this– I think this is really interesting for those of us especially who maybe aren’t super in tune with what, uh, all goes into it. So being able to have something that helps you plan it a bit more for, you know, people like you mentioned earlier, the people that have their home batteries in Australia and are just working on the market itself and maybe [00:19:00] not– don’t have those 10, 20 years of experience of, of actually working on the market. So this is, this is exciting. Allen Hall: Does that explain all the weather sources and the weather companies when we go to a wind, a larger wind or solar event that there does seem to be a lot of people offering weather insights? Is that what that’s about, is they can hedge? If you have a slightly better weather model, that would give you an advantage in this kind, kind– really kind of market? Is that the, the goal of all those weather firms? Matthew Stead: Uh, absolutely. And, you know, we’re, we’re part of that because, um, ice, ice, um, you know, reduces power output, and ice forecasting and weather forecasting is, uh, really important in, you know, the Nordics, where you don’t want to be promising certain power and find you can’t deliver ’cause everything’s iced up. So, you know, we, we do work with forecasting companies to improve the, [00:20:00] uh, the quality, and it does have a mer-material difference on, on the financial markets. Allen Hall: So is that something that we can all get paid for? by these weather companies and these, uh, forecast companies if we provide insights on lightning, so to speak, and icing, uh, is that a revenue chain for at least one of us? Matthew Stead: Absolutely. Allen Hall: Maybe I like this more and more. I was, I was very hesitant of this exchange, thinking like, “Oh man, not a, not another highly leveraged situation with energy. That doesn’t sound smart.” But, yeah, if we can make a small fortune, Matthew, I think we should do it. Matthew Stead: Fun fact, there was a flight from, um, yeah, from London to Australia the other week, um, and it’s a direct flight, you know, so 17 hours, and, uh, there was a change in the weather. So there was a change in the weather, and that aircraft didn’t have enough fuel to fly to Perth anymore, so it had to land in the outback of Australia. Allen Hall: No. Did that happen? Matthew Stead: Yep, because there was a [00:21:00] change in the weather. Allen Hall: Are there just, like, kangaroos lined up in a runway shape to get the airplane on the ground? Or how do they– Is there a runway out in the outback that would accommodate a large… That’s a large airplane that’s making a London to Australia trip. Triple 7380? It Matthew Stead: was a Dreamliner. Um, but, um, it, yeah, it landed in Kalgoorlie. So Kalgoorlie’s a mining town. Yeah, they’ve got, they’ve got big stuff in Kalgoorlie. Allen Hall: In this quarter’s PES Wind magazine, in which there is a whole bunch of great articles, a interesting article about grease. Grease not the country, although I would love to go visit Greece. Grease the lubricant that’s in all our bearings and keeps the world moving at any one particular time. Uh, Sh-Shell was talking about doing a lot of research on grease, and when poor lubrication, uh, happens, it’s one of the leading causes of bearing failure. And so when you see a bearing all tore up, usually the first indication is, is there’s something wrong with the grease. Uh, [00:22:00] so Sh-Shell and bearing maker SKF and the University of, uh, Twente joined forces to answer a deceptively simple question: How do you predict when grease inside a bearing will let go? Well, their answer comes down to film thickness. The microscopic layers of grease that keeps the steel from grinding on each other is the magic variable. The work won a major tribology award and is already feeding into, uh, some of the tools that operators use to schedule relubrication before a bearing fails. And It all comes down to lubrication. That’s the lifetime of a wind turbine. There’s so many pieces that are rotating and are heavily loaded with really complicated bearing surfaces. If you don’t have the grease right, it’s just not gonna work. And what’s happening at Shell is one of those pieces, and we’re [00:23:00] learning so much more. And as we, uh, evolve in the technology and become smarter about the molecules we use and how we use them, uh, this is gonna have a big impact. And I know, Yolanda, you’ve been up to– Well, you’ve been to a couple of wind farms recently. Do you s- see– still see huge grease problems that I usually see when I’m on site? Matthew Stead: Mm-hmm. Yolanda Padron: I didn’t think that was an issue that was gonna go away anytime soon. But it’s good to know that, that there’s something being done about it that’s more revolutionary than just paying someone to clean the turbine every once in a while. Allen Hall: And the contaminants that get into the greases are a huge problem, particularly where there’s any sort of sand, dust that climbs in. So keeping those joints clear and those rolling surfaces clear is a major effort. And knowing when to relubricate. And, and Matthew, you guys see pitch bearings and all kinds of problems up on blades that are lubricated that have run out of their lifetime early. It does seem like the first thing you see on particularly pitch bearings [00:24:00] is grease on the side of the turbine from them. Matthew Stead: Yeah. I think that’s– uh, there’s even a special code that the, the visual drone inspection companies have. They’ve got codes for, um, grease and so, yeah, exactly, that’s an early flag. But also dust. You know, sometimes dust from the inserts and from the bolts. Yeah. So it’s, yeah, interesting topic. Allen Hall: Well, I, I think it’s one of the key pieces to keeping the turbines running. And I know if you travel a lot around wind turbines, the, the grease is the thing that the technicians always talk about, and there’s so many different tools to go out and look at these things. But lubrication, we gotta get to it. And, and Shell, and SKF, and a number of others are, are working at it to make, hopefully, our lives a little bit easier.

Steve calls for revival-or-bust thinking and eulogizes Charlie Kirk's missional courage. Knox opens Nehemiah and calls for four months of mourning, fasting, and repentance before the wall gets built. And Toby reminds us that the same God who marched slaves out of Egypt with Pharaoh's chariots sinking behind them is still Lord of armies — and he doesn't need our numbers.

Episode 4164 │ June 30, 2026 After five and a half years, Dominion dropped its lawsuit against Mike Lindell. He's polling number one in Minnesota. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson sits down with Mike Lindell for a campaign update built around major news: Dominion Voting Systems dropped its five-and-a-half-year lawsuit against Lindell and My Pillow, a vindication that lands the same week LindellTV released 800 pages of documented election fraud evidence — covering proven vulnerabilities, the seven-and-a-half-year Georgia case where security researcher Alex Halderman hacked a Dominion machine live in a courtroom and flipped the results twice, and the broader case for the Save America Act, which polls show 80 percent of Americans including Democrats support. Lindell pushes back on ABC's coverage attacking him for distributing campaign pillows and copies of his autobiography at parades — explaining the campaign legally purchased the items from My Pillow at standard pricing — and details his Minnesota ground game: thousands of yard signs distributed through 67 senate district ambassador teams, a budget rollout within four weeks addressing Minnesota's highest-in-the-nation corporate and income tax rates, and a deer farming regulation story illustrating the regulatory burden driving businesses out of the state. The episode closes with Lindell recounting being told by President Trump that he is "the Patrick Henry of our lifetime" and a story about converting a skeptical gun control questioner at a mostly Democrat event through plain education on the difference between automatic and semi-automatic weapons. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Why did Dominion drop its lawsuit against Mike Lindell and My Pillow after five and a half years — and what does the 800 pages of evidence released the same week actually document? What happened in the seven-and-a-half-year Georgia voting machine case, and why did a security researcher hacking a Dominion machine live in a courtroom not result in a ruling against the machines? What are Lindell's specific solutions for Minnesota's highest-in-the-nation tax rates, regulatory burden, and welfare fraud — and how does his budget rollout differ from typical campaign promises?

In this hard-hitting episode, Joe Oltmann is joined by legendary broadcasting powerhouse Peter Boyles to dissect the multi-front Marxist assault currently targeting the United States. The duo kicks things off with the latest updates on the Dominion voting machine scandal and the impending trial of Eric Coomer next month—the self-proclaimed architect of a deeply broken election apparatus. As Joe notes, stolen elections have directly led to creating a manufactured crisis before the American people.The conversation takes a sharp turn toward New York City, where radical lawmakers like Zohran Mamdani are celebrating forced rent freezes. Joe and Peter break down the sinister math behind these policies: by stripping landlords of the ability to cover rising maintenance and utilities, the government is deliberately bankrupting property owners to seize control of private real estate. This blatant disregard for constitutional rights is mirrored at the federal level, where Democrat Rep. Delia Ramirez recently slandered the Supreme Court as a "white supremacist agenda" after it rightfully stripped Temporary Protected Status from illegal residents. From defying SCOTUS to seizing private land, the globalist left is signaling that they have zero respect for the law or American sovereignty.Finally, in honor of the upcoming Denver Pride Fest, the show wraps up with a hilarious yet telling look at the absolute absurdity taking over our cultural spaces. Highlighting a recent clip from the Washington D.C. Pride March, Joe and Peter laugh at a triggered leftist who got completely owned after demanding to see identification during a street debate. It is a stark reminder that while the radical left talks a big game about authoritarianism, they are the ones desperate to police speech and control the population. Americans deserve to be safe, secure, and free in their own nation—tune in to hear how we fight back.
