Globalist Pushback and the Fight for Energy Independence

On December 6, 2023, Kim Monson examines the growing global resistance to centralized control, with entrepreneur Susan Kochevar analyzing Argentina’s election of libertarian president Javier Milei as a sign of hope, and sixth-generation rancher Trent Loos exposing the hypocrisy of the COP28 climate summit while sounding the alarm on America’s endangered energy infrastructure. Argentina’s Libertarian Revolution and the Globalist Retreat Start listening at 32:07 – Hour 1 Susan Kochevar discusses the recent election of Javier Milei as president of Argentina, marking what she sees as a significant victory against globalist forces. Kochevar, owner of 88 Drive-In Theater, highlights how Argentina switched to all-paper ballots about eight months before their election, which she believes contributed to a fair outcome after years of economic devastation with inflation reaching 140 to 180 percent. Kochevar points to a broader pattern of nations pushing back against World Economic Forum-style policies, citing Viktor Orban in Hungary and Giorgia Meloni in Italy as other examples of leaders who are resisting the globalist agenda. She argues that these international developments should give Americans hope that change is possible. “The globalists are losing ground is really what it comes down to.” Susan Kochevar, Owner of 88 Drive-In Theater The conversation turns to election integrity in the United States, with Kochevar arguing that America could transition to paper ballots within eight months, as Mike Lindell has suggested. She notes that France already counts paper ballots faster than America counts machine-tabulated votes, challenging the narrative that such a system would be impractical. COP28 Hypocrisy and the War on Reliable Energy Start listening at 73:12 – Hour 2 Sixth-generation farmer and rancher Trent Loos analyzes the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, where 80,000 attendees gathered to discuss eliminating fossil fuels while many arrived on private jets. Loos highlights data showing that 1 percent of the world’s population generates emissions equal to 66 percent of ordinary people, exposing what he calls the fundamental hypocrisy of climate elites demanding sacrifices from everyday citizens. Loos connects the climate agenda to Executive Order 14008, signed by President Biden on December 27, 2021, which includes the 30-by-30 provision aimed at returning land and water to its “natural state.” He argues the order’s 57 pages contain provisions designed to end the use of oil and gas entirely, which would fundamentally transform American life. “We are now at the equal level of the amount of coal we burned in 1903. 120 years later, we’ve regressed with an 800-year supply of coal left that we could actually burn to produce electricity.” Trent Loos, Sixth-Generation Farmer and Rancher The discussion turns to Colorado’s Craig Station, which Tri-State Generation plans to close by September 2028, more than a year ahead of schedule. Loos describes visiting a coal field in North Dakota where subsidized wind energy is preventing coal plants from purchasing any coal during weeks when wind is available, since wind developers receive 26 cents per kilowatt-hour from the government while coal plants must compete at market rates.
