The “House of Bad Cards” and Alex Epstein’s new deck of “Energy Deniers” playing cards, featuring Bernie Sanders as “The Joker.”- - - - - Jacki shares some observations from her dinner with Speaker of the U.S. House, Mike Johnson. - - - - - Update: The U.S. is producing more oil this quarter than any country in world history. - - - - - Jacki interviews Rob Gordon, a researcher with more than thirty years’ experience protecting endangered species in the Department of Interior and on Capitol Hill, including assisting in the drafting of the Threatened and Endangered Species Recovery Act. Mr. Gordon dishes truth about the Endangered Species Act: Less than 2% of the listed species have been successfully recovered, and many “recovered” species were never endangered – but merely miscounted (Why would officials count the *nocturnal* Monito Gecko lizard population during the day? A daytime survey revealed only 18 left on the planet,… but a nighttime survey found 7,661). Species appear miraculously “recovered,” covering up errors. It is difficult to not notice the anti-development goals of the activists who work this list. - - - - - Did you notice the recent solar flare that took out radio communications in South America and disrupted American pilot communications? Neither did we, thankfully, but Jacki gives the report on this close call that could take out our electric grid next time if Congress doesn’t act. - - - - -  U.N. calls on former official to give back over $60 million in funds that he invested in “renewable energy” and housing, entrusting the funds to “a man he met at a party.” Only 10% of the investment has been recouped.
