Jacki explains how we can know that Russia would never support President Trump, in 2016 or 2020. Spoiler alert: Russia lives and dies by the price of oil & gas, and Trump’s energy policy insures financial ruin for petro-states, while Biden promised to restrict Russia’s U.S. oil & gas competitors any way he can. Chuck DeVore, Director of National Initiatives at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, explains how California’s rolling blackouts are a hallmark feature of Kamala Harris’ favored energy policy. Jason Isaac of the Life:Powered Initiative (TPPF) explains the three reasons why U.S. energy dominance matters to you. Josiah Neeley, Senior Fellow in Energy at the R Street Institute, shares the true story of what appears to be the biggest bribery and money laundering scandal in Ohio’s history, and it is all about energy bailouts.

Wayne Christian, Commissioner at the Texas Railroad Commission – arguably the top oil & gas regulatory body on earth – explains the opportunity for individuals and businesses to elect to cut checks for energy education rather than to Uncle Sam. Capital gains taxes may now be devoted to certain projects in exchange for a tax credit. Bill Peacock of the Energy Alliance explains Texas’ new “electricity tax,” which likely has come to a state near you. Tyler Corder of the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Liberty Leadership Council explains why activists should be supporting - not opposing - pipelines as the green and safe choice for energy transport. Jacki reviews a new analysis from Life:Powered explaining the Biden energy policy, a near 180 degree turn from the current policy of U.S. energy dominance.

Rupert Darwall of RealClear Foundation, and former Advisor to the U.K.’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, returns to the show to explain the war on U.S. oil and gas waged through ESG investment criteria, a movement that advocates divestment from fossil fuels and that Mr. Darwall describes as the greatest attack on capitalism since the New Deal. New research from TPPF’s Life:Powered initiative explains why it is impossible as of 2020 to power America on wind and solar power. Also, Life:Powered’s new analysis on a Biden energy policy. Then, Tim Heis, CEO of Goodwill Industries, explains the impact of COVID-19 policy on business and how you can help Goodwill to provide jobs to Americans with disabilities and those entering the workforce for the first time. Finally, my fellow BlazeMedia host, Allie Beth Stuckey, joins me this week to discuss her new book, You’re Not Enough, and That’s OK: Escaping the Toxic Culture of Self-Love. Allie is the host of Blaze podcast, Relatable, and known on social media as TheConservativeMillenial. She explains why the younger generation’s decline in faith and patriotism - in lieu of being a God to oneself - can explain modern cancel-culture and the attack on free speech that impacts all political and cultural issues.

Jason Isaac, Director of the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Life:Powered Initiative, joins Jacki to explain why the Green New Deal will harm lower income Americans the most. With an estimated annual electricity price increase of $3,200.00 per household, and higher gasoline and household chemical prices, lower income families will spend far more than the 14% of their income now devoted to covering the family’s energy bills.

Jacki is joined by Katie Tahuahua of the Texas Public Policy Foundation (TPPF) who explains what to expect when expecting an environmental apocalypse.  She is an expectant mother and the Communications Manager for Life:Powered, a program of TPPF, who reassures pregnant women that today’s America is one of the safest times and places to be “with child”, explaining why correlation is not causation in a new study suggesting that warmer summer temperatures lead to more pregnancy complications.  Caleb Rossiter, former professor of climate statistics and Founder of the CO2 Coalition explains the campaign to silence his voice on social media. Joan Sammon, founder of a boutique energy advisory firm, explains the court decision obstructing the Dakota Access Pipeline and why energy companies must engage in the media.

Guests: Caleb Rossiter, Joan Sammon & Katie Tahuahua

Economist David Ranson, who formerly worked under the U.S. Treasury Secretary, explains why economic good times lie straight ahead in the 3rd quarter, debunking the forecasts of economists and the International Monetary Fund. Katie Tahuahua of the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s Life:Powered program explains why environmental initiatives sometimes are contradictory to religious principles, in sharp contrast to opinions offered by leaders of major denominations who are divesting from energy projects, harming the world’s most vulnerable. Daniel Turner, Founder & Executive Director of Power the Future, joins Jacki to explain why a carbon tax is a bad idea that will destroy jobs.

Guests: David Ranson, Katie Tahuahua & Daniel Turner

Is our energy supply and electric grid in the crosshairs of foreign nations? Dr. Peter Pry, formerly of the CIA and now the Executive Director of the Electromagnetic Pulse Task Force, joins Jacki to unpack new asymmetric weapons that make Americans vulnerable to hostile regimes. Then, Ryan Girdusky makes his case that populism has experienced a 20 year rise and remains a blind spot for elites in his new book, They’re Not Listening: How the Elites Created the Modern Populist Revolution. Finally, Chuck DeVore, Director of National Initiatives at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, busts media myths about the Texas response to COVID19. Texas actually has the second lowest death rate, and far better results than restrictive states.

Guests: Ryan Girdusky, Peter Pry, & Chuck DeVore

James O’Keefe and an undercover investigator join Jacki again to reveal the culture of hostility to pro-freedom messaging inside social media, with a newly released video showing employee after employee confirming our worst suspicions behind a certain social media outlet. Then, Vance Ginn, an economist who just left the White House as a top appointee in the Office of Management and Budget, explains the hidden costs of economic shutdown. Jason Modglin, President of the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers, explains why the oil and gas business remains a good field for both white and blue collar job seekers.  

Guests: James O’Keefe, Vance Ginn, & Jason Modglin

Candace Owens joins Jacki to talk about the reaction to her viral video on George Floyd and to learn why the black community is not excited about climate policy. Then, two Venezuelans, Galicia & Guilarte, give Americans a cautionary tale about anarchy and socialism. Venezuela went from being one of the wealthiest and most promising countries to a starving, socialist dictatorship in a very short period of time. Next, Sean Parnell explains how energy issues could be the key to elections in swing states, like his home state of Pennsylvania. Finally, Chuck DeVore explains why he believes the world must confront China.

Guests: Candace Owens, Galicia, Guilarte, Parnell, DeVore

Jacki is joined again by Vance Ginn, PhD, who just left the White House last month as one of the top economists at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and who is now at the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Vance will explain why we know that economic good times are about to return, and why we should never shut down the economy again. Before shutdown, wealth was increasing three time faster for the bottom half of the income scale than the top, and we can restore this prosperity. Then, Robert Reilly of the Westminster Institute reviews his new book, America on Trial: A Defense of the Founding. Finally, Jim Wright, candidate for the Texas Railroad Commission - arguably the global leader in regulating oil & gas - will explain how U.S. energy can recover from economic shutdown.

Guests: Vance Ginn, Robert Reilly, & Jim Wright
