Costly and Cyber-Vulnerable: The Risks of Rapid Renewable Energy Adoption

On July 18, 2024, Travis Morrell, Daniel Turner, Karen Levine, and Leslie Manookian joined the show. Morrell details how 150 medical students overturned a physician vote against pediatric gender interventions, exposing WPATH’s influence on medical training and the urgent need for Protect Kids Colorado’s ballot initiatives Turner analyzes the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling ending 40 years of bureaucratic overreach, connecting regulatory abuse from the EPA to. Supreme Court Ruling Strips Power from Unelected Bureaucrats Start listening at 34:18 – Hour 1 Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of Power the Future, breaks down the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Chevron deference doctrine. For over four decades, federal agencies wielded interpretive authority over vague congressional language, allowing unelected bureaucrats to create rules on everything from air quality standards to restaurant mask requirements. Turner explains that energy companies could never operate in an environment where tomorrow a bureaucrat come and says this is now the new rule and you have to shut down. The ruling forces Congress to clarify ambiguous laws rather than delegating interpretation to agencies like the EPA or CDC. Turner connects this directly to the COVID-era chaos where Dr. Fauci mandated six-foot distancing rules later admitted to be fabricated. He recalls then-Senator Barack Obama’s 2007 promise to bankrupt coal mines through regulatory harassment rather than legislation, calling it a really vicious way to look at government and a really cowardly way to govern. “This is not just about oil and gas and coal. Think about this applied to so many other industries. Most recently, think about it to COVID, where suddenly there’s a rule that says, if you walk into this restaurant, you must wear a mask. Well, I never saw a law passed upon that.” Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director, Power the Future Medical Students Hijack Vote on Child Gender Procedures Start listening at 19:40 – Hour 1 Dr. Travis Morrell reveals how over 150 medical students brigaded a Colorado Medical Society vote on gender-affirming care for minors. Morrell had submitted a policy labeling puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for children as mutilation based on evidence, not ideology. Initially, most voting physicians agreed with him, but a last-minute flood of student votes reversed the outcome. Morrell traces the problem to WPATH, the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, which he describes as an activist organization making consensus-based recommendations rather than following scientific evidence. The Cass Review from the UK has since validated his concerns about the lack of rigorous evidence supporting pediatric gender interventions. Morrell urges listeners to support Protect Kids Colorado’s ballot initiatives requiring parental notification when schools socially transition children. “What was a surprise was that just in the last few days of voting, more than 150 medical students kind of piled on or brigaded the vote. And actually, it ended up not passing. So that was disappointing, I think, from the standpoint of protecting kids and practicing evidence-based medicine.” Dr. Travis Morrell, Protect Kids Colorado Mom-and-Pop Landlords Flee Colorado’s Hostile Policies Start listening at 65:34 – Hour 2 Karen Levine, RE/MAX award-winning realtor, explains how tenant-landlord legis...
