Podcast appearances and mentions of paris climate accord

We would be mad to pull out of the Paris Climate Change Agreement. ACT leader David Seymour thinks differently though, saying its emissions targets are "disconnected from science and blind to New Zealand's realities". He says net zero targets have been set with no regard for the real cost to firms, farms, and families, and he wants out. Out of 197 countries, 193 are signed up to the accord. David Seymour wants us to join what would be a very exclusive club of five. I can kind-of understand the thinking of the people who would like us to end our involvement, because New Zealand is a tiny cog in the climate change machine and really, what difference can we actually make? The other reason people are anti-the Paris agreement is their impression that the big countries —the big polluters— aren't really doing their bit. So if they're not, why should we? I get that. The thing is though, when it comes to climate change you have to take a long-term view, and you have to think about the bigger picture. And it's not just about the climate itself. The main reason I want us to stay involved is the same reason David Seymour wants us out: the economy. He says the targets we've signed up to are forcing farmers off the land (which you have to question), forcing people out of the regions, and making food and electricity more expensive. But whether we like it or not, our free trade agreement with the European Union has specific references to climate change and the Paris agreement. If we did pull out, there could be serious trade and economic consequences for us. So we have to stick with it. Whether we like it or not. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pulling out of the Paris Agreement could cause more problems than it solves. Act and New Zealand First have expressed interest in pulling New Zealand out of the agreement unless more realistic emissions targets are produced. Sir Lockwood Smith, former MP and Diplomat, says he sympathises with famers and Seymour on the subject, but we just pull out of the accord. He told Kerre Woodham that there are clauses in free trade agreements, such as the one with the UK, that would enable them to take action or to seek remedies if New Zealand were to withdraw from any international agreement around climate change. He says we do have to be careful, however, that doesn't mean we don't do anything. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A former Climate Change Minister believes New Zealand should stay in the Paris Climate Agreement. ACT leader David Seymour's announced a policy to leave the global pact unless rules are loosened for our farmers. New Zealand First has also floated the idea of withdrawing, as some larger nations have ditched it. Tim Groser told Kerre Woodham this goes against public sentiment. He says polls indicate a large majority of Kiwis believe we should do our share on climate change. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

ACT Party Leader David Seymour has set the cat among the pigeons, or the Huntaway among the cattle, by calling for New Zealand to withdraw from the Paris Agreement. The Paris Agreement is a pact that's part of the UN's framework convention on climate change, which started in 1992 with the Rio Earth Summit. The main goal of the Paris Agreement is to keep long-term global temperatures from warming 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial times, and if not that, then well below 2 degrees Celsius by slashing planet-warming emissions from coal, oil, and gas. It's not working, the numbers are still too high, but who knows what they would have been had the Paris Agreement not been in place. It works as a binding but voluntary programme for the member countries. Every five years, countries are required to submit a goal or a plan for what it will do about heat-trapping emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other gases. And these goals are supposed to get more ambitious every five years – you're supposed to improve on what you did last time. The countries themselves decide what's in those goals, and there is no punishment for countries who miss the goals. Despite this, despite the fact that there are no teeth and no punitive measures if you don't meet the self-imposed targets, ACT says that the Paris Agreement needs to change, or New Zealand needs to leave. David Seymour says it demands targets that are disconnected from science and blind to New Zealand's realities. Net zero targets have been set without regard for the real cost to firms, farms, and families, they say, so they want New Zealand out, like the US. “At the moment, we face being punished for being a methane-heavy economy. I think it's about time that we, perhaps along with like-minded nations, I'm thinking South American nations like Uruguay that have a lot of livestock, also a lot of Southeast Asian nations which produce a lot of rice, which it turns out actually produces a lot of methane – we should be going to Paris saying, "hang on a minute', instead of our government officials making representations to the public that pay them on behalf of these global institutions, maybe they should actually be going on our behalf overseas to say, ‘you guys need to give a fair deal to methane-heavy economies,' because methane's a very different gas. It has a much different effect on climate because it breaks down over time, and therefore that scientific reality needs to be recognised.” So that was David Seymour talking to Heather du Plessis-Allan last night. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says it's not going to happen; we're not going to leave. It would only hurt and punish and damage our farmers. He says our competitor countries would like nothing more than to see New Zealand products off the shelves, and he added that, having worked in multinationals, the companies would just move to another supplier, a more public-friendly, a more agreeable, a more green-friendly supplier. He does have a point. Well, both men have points, really. David Seymour is quite right in that methane is a different sort of a gas, that New Zealand does it the best in the world. New Zealand produces food better than anybody else in terms of accounting for climate change targets and goals. But Christopher Luxon has a point too, because green and social accounting is part of global financial reporting. We're seeing it right down to the smallest business in New Zealand. Your bank wants to see you committing to various environmental targets, goals, achievements. If you don't, the money comes at a higher rate. And it's the same for them. Their masters, their overlords, want to see that the banks themselves have required their clients to commit to environmental goals. It's absolutely entwined within the way the world does business. I don't know how you can separate one from the other. It would be very easy for New Zealand to be made an example of, far harder for the US because it is a global powerhouse. Notwithstanding Modi, Xi, and Putin all getting together to try and form another cabal or block of power, but the US is too powerful to punish. Were we to say, "You know what, we're out," it would be very, very easy for us to be made an example of. We're small, quite loud, there would be some people around the world who would have heard of us, so if we're made an example of, it would only hurt us. Nobody else would care. Furthermore, Christopher Luxon says that New Zealand has taken farming out of the ETS, the Emissions Trading Scheme, and promises there'll be an announcement on methane targets in the very, very near future. So where do you stand on this one? As I'm aware, farming as an industry and farming as a science is constantly working to improve efficiencies in the way they do things. Our scientists and our ag researchers are working overtime to try and bring down any harmful gases caused in the manufacture of food. Farmers are implementing all sorts of measures, and if they don't, they're off the books. They are no longer clients of places like Fonterra. So you have to meet really high standards before you can consider yourself a farmer in the modern age. I would have thought farming as an industry understood the global realities, given that they are a major global player. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Labour and National appear to be aligned on the Paris Climate Agreement. Yesterday ACT called for New Zealand to leave unless the terms of the deal change, but the Prime Minister said no. Labour's Chris Hipkins echoed Christopher Luxon, telling John MacDonald leaving the deal would cause more harm than good. He says it would be a disaster for us – walking away from those commitments would mean people overseas would stop buying our products. Hipkins says our largest export industries rely on New Zealand's clean, green reputation. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

David Seymour's call around the Paris Accord merely adds to the list of calls around the Paris Accord. If we could park the emotion and the bandwagons associated with the obsession around saving the planet, the case for 2050 would no longer add up. For example, take the countries that never signed up, take the countries like America that are leaving, take the future British Tory Government who will bail, take the world's biggest climate alliance for banks who have suspended their activities and proposed a vote on scrapping its current structure after a whole pile of members bailed. The Net-Zero Banking Alliance stated their commitment was to align their lending with achieving net zero. It didn't work. It didn't come close. Since Paris in 2015, banks globally have provided loans of $6.4 trillion USD to oil and gas and $4.3 trillion to green projects. The founder of Reclaim Finance Lucie Pinson says the reality is the banking alliance never truly challenged the fossil fuel business models. On facts alone, climate is losing. You can argue forever about why and whether that's good or not, but if it is fact you are using, then the Seymour call and the growing actions of places like America are actually sensible. Just how much farce, how many COPs 18, 19, 27, 32, do you want to continue the failure? How many press releases do you want asking for us to redouble our efforts, knowing it will never happen? How much funding? How many air miles? How many promises that will never come close to reality do we want to pursue in what is simply a vain hope? A well-intentioned hope, yes. Laudable, but futile. Maybe net zero or Paris is a guide and an aspiration. A "let's give it a go and see how close we get" sort of thing. Perhaps with no target the whole thing falls apart. But like a lot of nonsensical ideas, this one has fast become exposed as a bust. If good intention and hot air was currency it might be different, but the facts and the truth tell us it isn't. Maybe we are all going to hell in a handcart, a dirty, filthy, climate-induced hand cart. Or maybe we aren't. But the juggernaut of Paris isn't working and never really did. Good, clear, decisive decision making would mean we stop the rot, expense and energy sooner rather than later. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pulling out of the Paris Climate agreement has got the backing of ACT and New Zealand First, who say we're overdoing it. And my first reaction is yes. The thing isn't working. It's never worked. It has always felt like something the world does to make itself feel like it's doing something, even though it's doing nothing When you combine it with the Emissions Trading Scheme —which is a giant Ponzi scheme made to make Coldplay feel better about touring the world in jet planes, meanwhile filling our pastures with trees— then the whole thing seems useless, so why be involved? And we're so little. New Zealand's biggest contribution to CO2 numbers is our farming, which is fairly benign polluter, because the world needs food. The world doesn't need more cheap jeans and plastic crap, but the people who make that stuff are merrily pumping rubbish into our atmosphere. So why should we be punishing the cornerstone of our economy when in the scheme of things, it contributes so little while the real polluters keep on polluting? So yeah, let's stand up. Tell the world they're in a fool's paradise of virtue signalling and get on with feeding the people we can. But. The rest of world, with the exception of the United States, still believe in this mirage. And they're the ones buying our food, and they're also the ones who will find any way to blacklist our awesome agricultural products. So pulling out of the charade may see us cutting our nose off to spite our face. It may reduce the compliance costs on our farmers in the first instance, but what's the point of that if it makes the rest of the world turn their back on our milk and butter and meat? ACT and New Zealand First may think that this posturing is helping our farmers, but in fact it could be penalising them even more heavily And maybe ACT and New Zealand first are playacting this for votes just as much as the Paris Climate Accords are playacting for the environment So let's call this thing for what it is, and rather than just pulling our in a flounce, advocate for real change to the Accords and the policies and actually get on with helping the environment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Farmers are pushing ACT and New Zealand First for less politicking and more action. The two parties have expressed interest in withdrawing from the global Paris Agreement unless more realistic emissions targets are produced to fight climate change. But Federated Farmers president Wayne Langford says they're in government and could be resolving the problems creating uncertainty for farmers now. He told Andrew Dickens the Paris Agreement in itself isn't necessarily the problem. Langford says we need to dig deeper and look at what's setting Paris back, because it's actually what we're setting on ourselves as a government.

The case was reportedly brought before the United Nations' highest court by small island countries, seeking to force international standards onto larger governments. When Axios reached out to the White House Monday regarding potential penalties the United States could face, the response was direct. “As always, President Trump and the entire Administration is committed to putting America first and prioritizing the interests of everyday Americans,” Spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said in a statement. Spot on. We cannot be sucked into global affairs — and follow edicts from other countries — as we rebuild our own domestic infrastructure. Hence, Trump's move to withdraw America from the Paris Climate Accords — something he'd already done in his first term, but had to do again after former President Joe Biden reversed it. “[The ICJ case] specifically calls out the responsibility of industrialized nations to take the lead in limiting emissions,” Axios reported. Are we supposed to believe that countries like China and Russia are going to have their feet held to the fire on pollution? The target seems to be the United States. Why? Because we have far-left lawmakers willing to throw trillions of dollars at an issue that hasn't even been fully settled. First, it was “global warming” because the polar caps were melting, setting up an ice age. Then the argument shifted to temperatures getting hotter, and the phrase was switched to climate change. Every time a doomsday event was predicted, it got pushed off. “The Day After Tomorrow” never came. That's red flag number one. Red flag number two is the potential money-laundering aspect. After laundering tactics were exposed inside the USAID by Elon Musk's DOGE team, what's to stop climate change funding from being used as a personal piggy bank? During the Obama years, the firm Solyndra had the federal government cosign a loan for over $500 million in solar technology before it went under, Forbes reported. The same Forbes piece highlighted how several similar firms were given hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds, yet they all failed. Where did the money go?

In Episode 108 of Breaking History, Matt Ehret and Ghost connect historical patterns to the present-day collapse of Western leadership, arguing that the same elite forces orchestrating modern chaos have been operating since the 19th century. They analyze Biden's mental decline, Macron's flailing regime in France, and how color revolutions and regime-change operations are now targeting Western nations themselves. The duo explores secretive weather manipulation programs and geoengineering, linking modern environmental disasters to Cold War-era weaponization of science. They revisit the Paris Climate Accord, the Club of Rome, and the UN's role in pushing a depopulation and deindustrialization agenda through the façade of environmentalism. From the rise of technocrats like Klaus Schwab and the influence of British intelligence on American policy, to the psychological operations behind COVID and climate fear porn, Matt and Ghost argue that the globalist game plan is spiritual, not just political. This episode is a crash course in decoding elite systems of control, past and present, and offers a warning: the same empires that used covert warfare abroad have now turned inward, sacrificing their own citizens to maintain power.

As President Trump wraps up his Middle East tour, it's clear his foreign policy marks a sharp departure from that of former President Joe Biden. He has withdrawn the U.S. from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord, cut numerous foreign aid programs and pursued closer ties with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. He has also floated the idea of taking over foreign territories, such as Greenland and the Gaza Strip, and imposed severe tariffs on longtime U.S. trading partners, including China. According to an April 2025 Pew Research poll, just a few months into his presidency, Trump received mixed to negative ratings from most Americans. Among Republicans, however, support tends to follow party lines on key issues. In the case of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, 57% of Republicans say Trump is handling it correctly, while only 16% believe he's being too soft on Russia. Democrats strongly disagree — 72% say Trump is leaning too far toward Moscow. Watch the latest 34-minute episode of America Speaks as pollster and political analyst Dr. Frank Luntz talks to Americans about U.S. foreign policy under Trump — specifically, whether China poses a threat, the country's role in the Russia-Ukraine war and whether Trump's acceptance of a gift plane from Qatar raises ethical concerns.

Recorded on May 7, 2025 and January 16, 2025 https://youtu.be/AsKA7RStov4 Episode 131 of the PetroNerds podcast is a true PetroNerds special. This podcast is the lecture Trisha Curtis gave at the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy on January 23, 2025. In this lecture Trisha explains that energy is power, literally and figuratively, and she spends time putting energy in the context of geopolitics getting into the weeds on the US, China, and Russia. This introduction is special in and of itself. Trisha explains what is happening in oil prices and why they are oversold and gets into OPEC output increases and why this actually makes sense right now. In this heavy hitting geopolitical lecture Trisha covers Iran, Saudi Arabia, demand for power generation, energy realities and geopolitics, coal, natural gas, and oil, and net zero being a fantasy. She discusses US energy leverage and dominance that has not been leaned into and used, energy implications for auto manufacturing and military capacity, ammunition supply, implications for the global economy of traditional fuels, getting real on the energy transition, lack of information in the market place and the lack of appropriately evaluating traditional fuels. Trisha also covers the onerous regulations and aggressive green policies in Europe and their lack of participation in AI, their deindustrialization, and their inability to defend themselves. Trisha gets into oil prices, the health of the US and global economy, the role of natural gas prices and the impact to hurting US manufacturing, resiliency of US shale, natural gas prices and US oil and gas production, OPEC spare capacity and global spare capacity and Saudi production. She further discusses Germany's unhealthy economy, stagflation, high electricity prices, rising unemployment, and increasing manufacturing capacity sitting idle, and their exposure to China, the SPR and the actual use cases for it and selling off, Ford and CATL, climate change and the techolongs of wind, solar, and batteries in extreme temperatures, She covers the importance of infrastructure and pipelines, the US leaving the Paris Climate Accords, the US exporting more LNG and increasing global energy security, Chinese auto dumping and undercutting global manufacturing, and China's fictitious GDP growth. Trisha spends a lot of time in the Q&A talking about electricity, wind and solar, Chinese coal and competition, the US SPR and refilling it, US shale and execution during and coming out of COVID, longer laterals and less wells and less rigs, global primary energy consumption, AI and electricity demand, Chris Wright, LNG, and America being open for business.

France is opening its arms to foreign scientists, particularly from the US, as the Trump administration pulls back from climate research. French GPs and trainee doctors are up in arms over proposals to address 'medical deserts', which they say would make the problem worse. And as Europe marks the 80th anniversary of Europe Day, Algeria commemorates the 8 May, 1945 massacre of civilians by French colonial forces.  Ever since US President Donald Trump started defunding and dismantling US scientific institutions, France has made a push to get scientists to move. In March the French minister in charge of research asked universities to fund programmes to attract American scientists. In 2017, after Trump first pulled the US out of the Paris Climate Accords, Macron launched a recruitment drive aimed at climate scientists working in the US. Two of those grantees, Ben Sanderson and Philip Shulz, talk about the experience of leaving the US for France, and what the current environment is like for climate scientists today. (Listen @1'10)With 87 percent of France considered a "medical desert", lawmakers and the government are looking to tackle doctor shortages. But the proposals – to regulate when specialists can open their private practices and require health professionals to work two days a month in areas with chronic shortages – have met with strong opposition from GPs, trainee doctors and students. Yassine Bahr, vice-president of the French junior doctors union (ISNI), and Anna Boctor, president of France's Jeunes Medecins (young doctors) union, talk about why the proposals won't solve the problem and the sense of injustice at being held responsible for a situation that is not of their making. (Listen @20'20)On 8 May 1945, during a celebration of the end of WWII in Europe in the Algerian city of Setif, French colonial authorities shot at Algerians holding pro-independence signs. The ensuing riots then spread to neighbouring cities where the authorities  unleashed a campaign of reprisals to crush the unrest – indiscriminately killing tens of thousands of Algerian men, women and children. France has yet to officially acknowledge its role in the massacres. (Listen @15'00)Episode mixed by Cécile PompeaniSpotlight on France is a podcast from Radio France International.

An inquiry from the Wall Street Journal into a social media account linked to a Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) staffer led to the employee's resignation from the Elon Musk-led agency. Following an impromptu Twitter poll from Musk and support from Vice President JD Vance, the employee was welcomed back into DOGE. Is the re-hiring a blow against “cancel culture,” or is an empowered right playing a similar game but with new rules?On the first day of Donald Trump's second term, he withdrew the United States from the Paris Climate Accord via executive order. He made a similar move in 2017, which drew international backlash, largely on moral grounds. This time around, people worldwide expected the move and gave a more subdued response. Will a revised argument from climate activists break through to conservative leadership in the States?The president also issued executive orders that ended the printing of pennies and federal efforts to embrace paper straws. Though popular, are these actions timely?

The second Trump administration has hit the ground running. The president has signed a flurry of executive orders targeting everything from birthright citizenship to pulling out of the Paris Climate Accords. This is a far different moment from the first Trump term. The president is more focused, his team is more focused, and energy policy is at the top of their action list. However, the renewable energy market is also much more mature, and the transition away from fossil fuels has been accelerated by three major climate-related bills passed during the Biden years. In this new political and economic landscape, how do climate advocates need to think and act differently to sustain progress?  Guests:  Dana R. Fisher, Director of the Center for Environment, Community, and Equity, School of International Service, American University Nathaniel Stinnett, Founder and Executive Director, Environmental Voter Project Arnab Datta, Director of Infrastructure Policy, Institute for Progress On February 25, internationally recognized environmental and civil rights activist Catherine Coleman Flowers will join Climate One for a live conversation about the future of environmental justice.

"Drill, baby, drill" is not just a slogan that Donald Trump ran on, but a clear policy goal his first week in office. With a flurry of executive orders, his administration is trying to yank the US out of the Paris Climate Accords again, undo Biden-era green investment, and undermine efforts to pursue environmental justice. Benji Backer is a conservative environmental activist who believes that climate should be a non-partisan issue, and Lisa Friedman reports on climate policy and politics for the New York Times. They join the show to discuss what this all means for the climate and environment.  Also on today's show: Nabih Bulos, Middle East Bureau Chief, The Los Angeles Times; Gabor Maté, Physician / Author, “The Myth of Normal”  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Passing Judgment, we dive into the rapid-fire executive orders issued during the first week of President Trump's second administration. Joined by political reporter Megan Lebowitz, Jessica explores key topics such as immigration, energy policies, transgender rights, and foreign policy changes. Megan also discusses her recent article on Trump's comments about Ukraine and his stance on international relations. Here are three key takeaways you don't want to miss:Unprecedented Volume of Executive Orders: President Trump has issued dozens of executive orders in his first few days, a stark contrast to his previous term. From birthright citizenship to energy production, the scope is extensive and impactful.Immigration Policies Under Scrutiny: Key actions include the reinstatement of the remain-in-Mexico policy and the suspension of refugee resettlement. These orders are set to face significant legal pushback.Shift in Foreign Policy and Public Health: Withdrawal from international organizations like the WHO and the Paris Climate Accord signifies a return to Trump's "America First" policy. Public health funding and higher education grants are also restructured, particularly impacting DEI initiatives.Follow Our Host: @LevinsonJessica@megan_lebowitz

Trump's Triumph: Disrupting the Globalist Agenda at Davos   In this episode I discuss the palpable panic among global elites due to President Trump's fierce anti-globalist policies. Trump's recent actions, including withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord and closing U.S. borders, have greatly disrupted the Forum's agenda. Watch as I share insights in various interviews, explore the contrasting mindsets of conservatives and globalists, and explains the impact of Trump's presidency on global leadership and policies.

In his first week back in office, President Trump's strong arm is already making itself felt around the world — with the United States pulling out of the World Health Organization and Paris Climate Accords, imposing tariffs on China and the Americas, and pledging to end wars while threatening territorial annexations. Christiane talked to Sir John Sawers, former MI6 chief and UK ambassador to the UN, about what this shift means for where the world is headed. Then, as the State Department experiences a wave of resignations and retirements, and Marco Rubio proclaims Trump's will be the most pro-Israel administration in history, Christiane speaks with Josh Paul, one of the first Biden State Department staffers to resign over Biden's Israel policy. And as a fragile ceasefire holds in Gaza, Palestinian diplomat Husam Zomlot joined Christiane to discuss the uncertain future for Palestinians there. Plus, award-winning filmmaker Mike Leigh and actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste discuss their new film "Hard Truths." And finally, Sharone Lifschitz reflects on the anguish of Israeli families like hers, still waiting for loved ones held hostage by Hamas.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 3: 5:00pm- Steve Milloy—Senior Legal Fellow with the Energy and Environment Legal Institute & former Trump EPA Transition Team Member—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap President Donald Trump's speech to the World Economic Forum (WEF). At one point, Trump defiantly proclaimed: “I terminated the ridiculous and incredibly wasteful Green New Deal—I call it the Green New Scam. I withdrew from the one-sided Paris Climate Accord and ended the insane and costly electric vehicle mandate. We're going to let people buy the car they want to buy.” 5:30pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump invited reporters to the Oval Office to watch him sign several executive orders—including one which authorizes the release of the John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files. Will the soon-to-be released files show that President Kennedy was killed by the C.I.A.??? Matt emphatically says he doesn't believe in conspiracy theories and thinks Gerald Posner's assessment is likely correct—there was no “inside job.” But Rich and Justin want to see the unredacted files before accepting that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. 5:40pm- While speaking to reporters outside of the White House, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that 1,500 U.S. troops will be sent to the Southern border to protect the country's sovereignty. In an executive order signed on Monday night, the Trump Administration classified unlawful border crossings as an “invasion” and designated drug cartels as “foreign terrorist organizations” which should allow the administration to circumvent the Posse Comitatus Act.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (01/23/2025): 3:05pm- On Monday night, President Donald Trump pardoned 1,500+ Americans arrested for a series of crimes related to events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6th, 2021, and he commuted the sentences of 14 others. Rich notes that several things can be true at once: some of those arrested acted abhorrently, but the Department of Justice was overly aggressive with prosecutions. According to some reports, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is at least considering charging January 6th offenders with local crimes which would not be covered under President Trump's pardon. 3:15pm- In the Oval Office on Monday night, President Donald Trump signed an executive order clarifying the 14th Amendment—emphasizing limitations to “birthright citizenship.” The Trump Administration's interpretation states that the children of non-U.S. citizens who are in the country unlawfully should not be granted citizenship. The Congressional Research Center has noted that the Supreme Court “has not firmly settled the issue in the modern era.” Rich points out that courts already recognize a narrow exception to the 14th Amendment, not granting U.S. citizenship to the children of diplomats. 3:40pm- Michael Donahue—Cape May GOP Chairman & former New Jersey Superior Court Judge—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the American First Policy Institute establishing a New Jersey-based chapter of their organization with Donahue serving as Chair! 4:05pm- On Thursday, President Donald Trump invited reporters to the Oval Office to watch him sign several executive orders—including one which authorizes the release of the John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. assassination files. He also pardoned imprisoned pro-life activists. 4:40pm- While speaking with Sean Hannity on Fox News, President Donald Trump suggested it might be a wise decision to be less reliant upon the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and instead allow states to manage their own disaster relief. 5:00pm- Steve Milloy—Senior Legal Fellow with the Energy and Environment Legal Institute & former Trump EPA Transition Team Member—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to recap President Donald Trump's speech to the World Economic Forum (WEF).

PLUS, why is Doug Emhoff pretending to be tough? 6:20pm- Appearing on Fox News, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) reacted to Dr. Anthony Fauci's pardon—explaining that history will judge Fauci “harshly.” 6:30pm- On Monday night, President Donald Trump pardoned 1,500+ ...

Back in power, President Trump immediately took aim at climate and environmental protection with a flurry of executive orders such as blocking the Paris Climate Accord and boosting fossil fuel sales. The President may have over-reached but could still do lasting damage to the climate and environment. Also, one of President Trump's Day One executive orders commands a reversal of the Biden Administration's goal for half of vehicles sold in America by 2030 to be electric. Getting rid of the $7,500 EV tax credit and federal funding for charging stations may take acts of Congress, but already this effort to shift EVs into reverse is making for uncertainty in the US auto industry. And not all conventionally grown fruits and vegetables are loaded with high levels of harmful pesticides.

In this episode of Our Big Dumb Mouth (OBDM), the crew kicks things off with casual banter, transitioning into a discussion of conspiracy theories and paranormal oddities. From bizarre public outbursts at local government meetings to Alex Jones' latest antics, the team dissects various clips, offering their unique blend of humor and skepticism. The crew also dives into theories about UFO recoveries, discussing alleged alien egg-shaped crafts and the mixed credibility of recent disclosures. All this is topped with a dash of political satire and cultural critique. The second segment dives deep into current events, particularly the whirlwind of executive orders signed during Trump's hypothetical first few days back in office. Topics range from immigration reform and birthright citizenship to the U.S.'s withdrawal from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord and the World Health Organization. The hosts also discuss technological developments, including a $500 billion AI infrastructure project dubbed "Stargate," while humorously noting the political landscape's absurdities. Finally, the episode wraps up with listener calls and strange news. Stories include a company installing cameras in bathrooms to shame employees, the bizarre debate over pineapple on pizza, and the economics behind The Wizard of Oz. The episode rounds out with absurd commentary on everything from toilet surveillance to the cultural impact of classic rock bands. As always, the hosts deliver a mix of comedy, cynicism, and commentary on the weird world we live in. - Affiliates Links - Jackery:  https://shrsl.com/3cxhf Barebones:  https://bit.ly/3G38773  - OBDM Merch - https://obdm.creator-spring.com/ Buy Tea!

It's Wednesday, January 22nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Indian Christian suffers miscarriage when extremists strangle her Sadly, a Christian woman in central India suffered a miscarriage earlier this month after tribal relatives beat and strangled her. Kunika Kashyap was about six weeks pregnant. She was visiting another Christian who was sick. The local tribal leader believed she would pray for the sick person and began videoing to capture evidence of a perceived crime. The leader, along with his wife and daughter, then assaulted Kunika.  Her husband said, “It was only God's doing that enabled her to escape from three people continuously beating her from all sides.”  Local Christians told Morning Star News, “We have been facing strong opposition for the past few years from the tribal village headman and the villagers.” Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ in India. According to Open Doors, India is the 11th most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Trump withdraws from pro-abortion World Health Organization President Donald Trump signed over 200 executive actions on Monday after beginning his second term as president.  Calling it a “big one,” Trump signed an executive order for the U.S. to withdraw from the World Health Organization.  Trump ordered the withdrawal over the group's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. And LifeNews notes that the World Health Organization spends over 10% of its budget promoting abortion.   Trump also signed an executive order for the U.S. to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord. LifeSiteNews.com notes that the climate agreement supports abortion as a way to supposedly fight “climate change.” Trump to reinstate soldiers who lost jobs over COVID shot On his first day back in office, President Trump also promised to reinstate thousands of military members who lost their positions for refusing to get the COVID-19 shot. TRUMP: “This week, I will reinstate any service members who were unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID vaccine mandate with full back pay.” (applause) The military expelled about 8,400 troops who objected to the shot. This included many who objected for religious reasons. Trump's Border Czar open to pause legal immigration In an interview with Rob Finnerty on NewsMax, Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan vowed to go after criminal illegals first, reports Real Clear Politics. HOMAN: “President Trump and myself have been very clear. We're going to concentrate on public safety threats and national security threats right out of the gate. That's our priority. We're going to go for the worst first. And I find it hard to believe any elected official doesn't want public safety threats out of their communities. I would think that's your number one responsibility is protecting your community.” FINNERTY: “So, would you move to prosecute any governor that stands in your way and harbors illegal aliens?” HOMAN: “Well, I would ask the Department of Justice to, I mean, I'm not a prosecutor. I'm a border czar. But when I was an agent, many years ago, I've arrested U.S. citizens for harboring and concealing. So, if I'm going to arrest U.S. citizens for violating those statutes, if would be something DOJ would decide, but I'd be pressing for it. Absolutely!” FINNERTY: “We've had between 12 and 15 million illegals cross in the last four years. Do we need immigration at this point, legal or illegal? Do we need to just pause immigration for a little while until we can get this under control?” HOMAN: “Look, I think it's the biggest national security vulnerability I've seen in this nation. And then we've got over 2 million known got-aways. We don't know where they came from, why they came here. They weren't arrested; they weren't vetted. We know we got 3,500% increase in people on terrorist watch list being apprehended at our borders. So yeah, I think we need to shut the border down. We need to get control the border. We can't keep bailing out buckets of water. We got to plug the hole first.” Former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards died Former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards died Monday of brain cancer at age 67, leaving behind the largest abortion chain in the nation, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Richards headed Planned Parenthood from 2006 to 2018 and remained active in pro-abortion activism afterward. The daughter of Texas' last Democratic governor, the late Ann Richards, she revealed last January she had been diagnosed with incurable glioblastoma, a highly aggressive form of cancer with a survival length between just 12 and 18 months and an adult survival rate of just 17 percent two years after diagnosis. At the time of her publicized diagnosis, Dr. Monica Miller, director of Citizens for a Pro-Life America, said, “Richards is facing the end of her own life. Many prayers must be said for her – to pray she will repent of her abortion advocacy and the killing of her own baby.” She noted that Cecile Richards publicly admitted in 2015 to aborting her fourth child because she and her husband “decided that was as big as our family needed to be” and that “[i]t wasn't anything more dramatic than that.” Miller said, “To kill another human being and say ‘There's no more to it than that' – is bone chilling.”  During her 12-year tenure at Planned Parenthood, Richards presided over the abortions of an estimated 3.5 million preborn babies (almost half of whom were likely female), whose lives she dismissed as not “really relevant” to the discussion of abortion.  Her time leading the abortion giant also saw sharp declines in actual medical services, like breast cancer screenings or prenatal care, while abortions rose by 11 percent. Plus, Planned Parenthood's practice of selling aborted babies' organs was also revealed during her tenure.  U.S. cancer mortality rate declines A new report from the American Cancer Society found the cancer mortality rate continued to decline in 2022. Cancer deaths declined 34% from 1991 to 2022 in the U.S. That translates into 4.5 million deaths averted. However, the report found that cancer incidence has increased gradually among women and young Americans.   College champions, Ohio State Buckeyes, champion Christ And finally, the Ohio State Buckeyes won the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday. The team defeated Indiana's Notre Dame Fighting Irish 34 to 23 for the national title. It's the first time the Buckeyes won the title since 2014. ANNOUNCER: “The odds looked impossible. The longest, toughest post season climb in the history of the sport.  And, after all that, it's Ohio State, together at the mountain top, champions of college football!”  (cheers) The Ohio team has been known for expressing their Christian faith. Coach Ryan Day told ESPN, “Faith is huge with these guys.” Buckeyes quarterback Will Howard said he had to “give my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ all the glory, all the praise.” Robin Roberts chatted with Howard on Good Morning America. ROBERTS: “I know as a kid you had the dream of a moment like last night. Can you just share your emotions?” HOWARD: “You know, waking up this morning as a national champion, it's still surreal. God is good. It's just an unbelievable feeling. I'm just so proud of the guys and coach day and all the coaches.” And linebacker Cody Simon said, “The Lord did something special on this team, and we're just so thankful.”   1 Corinthians 10:31 says, “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Wednesday, January 22nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Big changes are coming to the ability of immigration agents to track down and arrest undocumented immigrants. Long considered out of bounds, the Trump administration says ICE agents are able to make arrests at churches and schools. These sensitive areas are now fair game in the new era of immigration enforcement. While encouraged to use common sense, officials say, “criminals will no longer be able to hide in America's schools and churches to avoid arrest. The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense." We'll talk about changes to asylum policies at the border as well as we welcome presidential historian and political analyst John Rothmann to The Mark Thompson Show. We are saying goodbye to the Paris Climate Accord once again and the mantra "Drill, Baby, Drill" is back in action under Trump. What does that mean for America's part in taking care of the environment? Eco-journalist Belinda Waymouth joins for "It's the Planet, Stupid!"

Trump signs hundreds of Executive Orders from both Capital One Arena and the Oval Office.  Dana explains why she is impressed by how disciplined and productive Trump's second term has already been.  The media lost their minds trying to interpret a gesture from Elon Musk as a  salute.  Dana breaks down some of the legal challenges Trump will face after signing Executive Orders to end birthright citizenship and pardon January 6th protesters.  A prayer service attended by Trump and Vance gets political by a woke pastor who pleads for Trump to have mercy on "scared" LGBT children and illegal immigrants. Trump declares a national emergency on energy to unleash America's energy potential as well as leave the Paris Climate Accords. Please visit our great sponsors:All Family Pharmacyhttps://allfamilypharma.com/DanaUse code Dana10 for 10% off your entire order.  Byrnahttps://byrna.com/dana2025 is a great time to think about your self-defense options.  Visit Byrna.com/Dana to receive 10% off your purchase.  GoldcoGet your free Gold and Silver kit and see if your order qualifies for a 10% instant match in bonus silver.  Visit https://DanaLikesGold.com HumanNhttps://humann.comSupport your metabolism and healthy blood sugar levels with Superberine by HumanN.  Find it now at your local Sam's Club next to SuperBeets Heart Chews.  KelTechttps://KelTecWeapons.comInnovation.

Freshman U.S. Representative Yassamin Ansari, a Democrat representing Arizona's 3rd district, puts climate at the top of her priority list. She joins us to reflect on her work with the UN on the Paris Climate Accord, discuss how extreme heat is affecting her constituents, and preview her climate aims in Congress.  Also, in a landmark 6 to 1 decision, the Montana State Supreme Court upheld a ruling that found young people, and by extension all people in Montana, have a constitutional right to a livable climate that state officials can't ignore.  And the African American residents of Shiloh, Alabama whose homes were flooded by a state highway expansion say they are still waiting for the full measure of environmental justice promised by the outgoing Biden Administration.

Every year, the United Nations holds its annual climate change conference. It's called the “Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP). This year, the 29th annual COP was held on Nov. 11 in the city of Baku, which is the capital of Azerbaijan. However, unlike previous years, many challenges have arisen this year that pose serious problems to the U.N.'s climate agenda. Whether it's the reelection of Donald Trump (and his promise to exit the Paris Climate Accords), western world leaders skipping the conference, or the host nation giving a speech in favor of fossil fuels, it appears that the pendulum is beginning to swing in the other direction. But the U.N. is not taking this lying down. Instead, it has announced a new initiative, called the “The Baku Initiative on Human Development for Climate Resilience.” Let's go through what this latest initiative is, how it's being implemented, the specific challenges it'll face, and what it'll mean going forward for the countries that are still committed to the U.N.'s climate agenda.
