00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.799
I came prepared this week. Do we like The Guardian?

00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:04.879
I like The Guardian. It has some good stuff in

00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:08.339
it. Because I had a choice of sources on this

00:00:08.339 --> 00:00:10.980
one and I couldn't remember if the New York one

00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:14.519
I did see it under first was one that we liked

00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:17.300
or not and I just felt too much pressure on it

00:00:17.300 --> 00:00:20.199
and I didn't know where to go with it. So I looked

00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:22.339
for another source. So here we are. Glad we like

00:00:22.339 --> 00:00:25.870
The Guardian. This one from The Guardian. January

00:00:25.870 --> 00:00:30.190
14, 2026. I'm not sure who it's from. It might

00:00:30.190 --> 00:00:33.049
be the Trump administration. It says Trump administration

00:00:33.049 --> 00:00:36.350
at the top. EPA to stop calculating money and

00:00:36.350 --> 00:00:40.140
lives saved by curbs on air pollution. The Environmental

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:42.820
Protection Agency says it will stop calculating

00:00:42.820 --> 00:00:45.479
how much money is saved in health care costs

00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:48.759
avoided and deaths prevented from air pollution

00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.880
rules that curb too deadly pollutants. The change

00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.259
means the EPA will focus rules for fine particulate

00:00:55.259 --> 00:00:58.899
matter and ozone only on that cost to industry,

00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.299
part of a broader realignment under Donald Trump

00:01:02.299 --> 00:01:04.700
toward a business -friendly approach that has

00:01:04.700 --> 00:01:07.459
included the rollback of multiple policies meant

00:01:07.459 --> 00:01:10.090
to safeguard human health and the environment

00:01:10.090 --> 00:01:13.049
and slow climate change. This just keeps getting

00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:15.790
more infuriating the more I talk. Yeah largely

00:01:15.790 --> 00:01:19.010
considered a bad thing to take care of your citizens

00:01:19.010 --> 00:01:22.329
over the cost of capital. The agency said in

00:01:22.329 --> 00:01:25.750
a statement late on Monday that it quote absolutely

00:01:25.750 --> 00:01:28.569
remains committed to our core mission of protecting

00:01:28.569 --> 00:01:31.670
human health and the environment end quote but

00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:35.049
quote will not be monetizing the impacts at this

00:01:35.049 --> 00:01:38.489
time end quote. The EPA will continue to cost

00:01:38.489 --> 00:01:41.049
to businesses to comply with the rules and will

00:01:41.049 --> 00:01:44.189
continue ongoing work to refine its economic

00:01:44.189 --> 00:01:47.310
methodologies of pollution rules, spokesperson

00:01:47.310 --> 00:01:50.510
Bridget Hirsch said. Environmental and public

00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:53.109
health advocates called the agency's actions

00:01:53.109 --> 00:01:56.549
a dangerous abdication of one of its core missions.

00:01:56.870 --> 00:01:59.569
Quote, the EPA's mandate is to protect public

00:01:59.569 --> 00:02:02.230
health, not to ignore the science in order to

00:02:02.230 --> 00:02:05.030
eliminate clean air safeguards that save lives,

00:02:05.170 --> 00:02:08.039
said John Walk, a senior attorney for the Natural

00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:10.639
Resources Defence Council. There is an end quote

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:13.259
somewhere up there. He called the change in how

00:02:13.259 --> 00:02:16.199
public health benefits are calculated reckless,

00:02:16.340 --> 00:02:19.639
dangerous, and illegal, adding, quote, by pretending

00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.740
real health benefits do not count, EPA wants

00:02:22.740 --> 00:02:25.580
to open the door for industry to foul the air

00:02:25.580 --> 00:02:28.159
while communities and families pay the price

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.719
in asthma attacks, heart disease, and premature

00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:33.319
deaths, end quote. The change in how the EPA

00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:36.020
calculates health benefits was first reported

00:02:36.020 --> 00:02:38.659
by the New York Times. The move comes as the

00:02:38.659 --> 00:02:41.460
Trump administration is seeking to abandon a

00:02:41.460 --> 00:02:44.300
rule that sets tough standards for deadly soot

00:02:44.300 --> 00:02:47.000
pollution, arguing that the Biden administration

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.840
did not have authority to set the tighter standard

00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:52.500
on pollution from tailpipes, smokestacks, and

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:55.379
other industrial sources. In a court filing in

00:02:55.379 --> 00:02:58.539
November, the EPA said the Biden -era rule was

00:02:58.539 --> 00:03:02.099
done without the rigorous stepwise process that

00:03:02.099 --> 00:03:05.139
Congress required and was therefore unlawful.

00:03:05.360 --> 00:03:07.659
It's amazing to hear them say that they care

00:03:07.659 --> 00:03:10.219
about what Congress needs. Yeah, or that something's

00:03:10.219 --> 00:03:14.780
unlawful. Yeah President couldn't do this It's

00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:17.340
incredible to hear these words put to this kind

00:03:17.340 --> 00:03:20.219
of use the EPA said it continued to recognize

00:03:20.219 --> 00:03:22.819
the quote clear and well -documented benefits

00:03:22.819 --> 00:03:25.819
of reducing fine particulate matter also known

00:03:25.819 --> 00:03:30.719
as PM 2 .5 and ozone quote, not monetizing does

00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:33.939
not equal not considering or not valuing the

00:03:33.939 --> 00:03:36.580
human health impact, end quote. Hirsch said in

00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:39.240
an emailed statement saying the agency under

00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.099
its administrator Lee Zeldin remains committed

00:03:42.099 --> 00:03:45.060
to protecting human health since the EPA. He

00:03:45.060 --> 00:03:48.199
forgot to put rich humans health. Yeah, exactly.

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:50.759
Those are the only humans they care about. Yeah,

00:03:50.759 --> 00:03:53.479
exactly. The ones who own the stock, their health

00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:55.840
will be fine. The ones that know the secrets

00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:59.129
about the pedophiles. Since the EPA's creation

00:03:59.129 --> 00:04:02.050
more than 50 years ago, Republican and Democratic

00:04:02.050 --> 00:04:04.210
administrators have used different estimates

00:04:04.210 --> 00:04:07.210
to assign monetary value to human life and cost

00:04:07.210 --> 00:04:10.530
-benefit analyses. Under Biden, the EPA estimated

00:04:10.530 --> 00:04:13.789
that its proposed rule on PM2 .5 would prevent

00:04:13.789 --> 00:04:18.449
up to 4 ,500 premature deaths and 290 ,000 lost

00:04:18.449 --> 00:04:21.449
work days by 2032. I did really good at those

00:04:21.449 --> 00:04:23.850
numbers by the way. Everybody send us an email

00:04:23.850 --> 00:04:26.889
and let me know. For every $1 spent on reducing

00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:30.699
PM 2 .5, the agency said there could be as much

00:04:30.699 --> 00:04:35.240
as $77 in health benefits. Yeah, less money spent

00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:38.149
on health care because they're healthier. But

00:04:38.149 --> 00:04:40.629
the Trump administration contends that these

00:04:40.629 --> 00:04:43.110
estimates are misleading. By failing to include

00:04:43.110 --> 00:04:46.029
ranges or other qualifying statements, the EPA's

00:04:46.029 --> 00:04:48.610
use of an estimate leads the public to believe

00:04:48.610 --> 00:04:51.170
the agency has a better understanding of the

00:04:51.170 --> 00:04:54.769
monetized impacts of exposure to PM2 .5 and ozone

00:04:54.769 --> 00:04:57.769
than in reality. The agency said in an economic

00:04:57.769 --> 00:05:00.350
impact analysis for the new rule. Therefore,

00:05:00.529 --> 00:05:04.189
to rectify this error, the EPA is no longer monetizing

00:05:04.189 --> 00:05:07.569
benefits from PM2 .5 and ozone but will continue

00:05:07.569 --> 00:05:10.269
to quantify the emissions until the agency is

00:05:10.269 --> 00:05:12.649
confident enough in the modeling to properly

00:05:12.649 --> 00:05:15.410
monetize those impacts. The United States has

00:05:15.410 --> 00:05:18.629
made substantial progress in reducing PM2 .5

00:05:18.629 --> 00:05:21.629
in ozone concentrations since 2000, the agency

00:05:21.629 --> 00:05:25.350
said, but critics said a new EPA rule that revises

00:05:25.350 --> 00:05:28.209
emission limits for dangerous nitrogen oxide

00:05:28.209 --> 00:05:31.410
pollution from new gas -burning turbines used

00:05:31.410 --> 00:05:34.290
in power plants demonstrates the risk of a new

00:05:34.290 --> 00:05:37.720
approach. Emissions of nitrogen Oxide, also known

00:05:37.720 --> 00:05:41.519
as NOX, forms smog and soot that is harmful to

00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:43.579
human health and linked to serious heart and

00:05:43.579 --> 00:05:47.660
lung diseases. The EPA's final NOX rule, issued

00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:50.079
on Monday, is substantially less restrictive

00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:52.639
than a proposal under the Biden administration

00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:55.399
for some gas plants the rule weakens protections

00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.120
in place for two decades. The new rule does not

00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.720
estimate the economic value of health benefits

00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.779
from reducing NOX and other types of air pollution

00:06:03.779 --> 00:06:06.100
under the Clean Air Act. Critics said the change

00:06:06.100 --> 00:06:08.819
meant the EPA will ignore the economic value

00:06:08.819 --> 00:06:11.680
of life save hospital visits avoided and lost

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:14.579
work and school days prevented under Trump the

00:06:14.579 --> 00:06:18.240
EPA quote recklessly refuses to place any value

00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:20.839
on protecting the health of millions of Americans

00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.899
from nitrogen oxides pollution in the face of

00:06:23.899 --> 00:06:26.500
mountains of medical science finding that this

00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:29.019
pollution contributes to asthma attacks heart

00:06:29.019 --> 00:06:31.639
disease and other serious health problems and

00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:34.899
quote said no ha ha gag a lawyer for the environment

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.920
environmental defense fund another environmental

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.579
group end of article i forgot to start that with

00:06:41.579 --> 00:06:43.980
a warning that this is going to be bad news okay

00:06:43.980 --> 00:06:46.819
i didn't know that with everything you just heard

00:06:46.819 --> 00:06:50.199
i've been showing people in my regular life this

00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.319
picture to kind of like exemplify the trajectory

00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:56.779
all the world's on so that's the epa the us what

00:06:56.779 --> 00:06:58.740
they're working on i'm gonna share my screen

00:06:58.740 --> 00:07:01.439
with you here am i not in your regular life why

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.800
haven't i seen this Well, because you're not

00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:06.939
in my regular life in the way that you would

00:07:06.939 --> 00:07:08.980
expect. This is what China's working on. This

00:07:08.980 --> 00:07:12.639
is a blimp that goes 2 ,000 meters into the sky.

00:07:12.819 --> 00:07:16.160
Okay. And just sits there with, what is that?

00:07:16.379 --> 00:07:19.860
Two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve wind farm

00:07:19.860 --> 00:07:23.560
turbines in it. generates power up there and

00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:26.060
like completely out of sight out of mind from

00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:28.899
everybody and in much better wind conditions

00:07:28.899 --> 00:07:31.500
because it can just go where there's higher winds.

00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:33.779
It seems like there'd be a lot more wind up there.

00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.040
So the US is worried about EPA regulations and

00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.920
making sure that companies can pollute as much

00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.899
as possible. China is formulating new ways of

00:07:43.899 --> 00:07:46.379
working on wind farms. On top of that, they're

00:07:46.379 --> 00:07:50.319
also the largest installers of solar and wind

00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:52.480
power in the world. And like we've talked about

00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.639
these things all in the past and just you can

00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:56.860
see who is clearly going to be the winner of

00:07:56.860 --> 00:07:59.379
the next century with this stuff. Oh, yeah, I

00:07:59.379 --> 00:08:02.139
think it's clear. It's very clear. Yeah, that's

00:08:02.139 --> 00:08:05.240
just one that I haven't heard yet for the podcast

00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:08.279
that we are and we might be getting I'm going

00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.439
to cut it soon. I promise, guys. This is a mini

00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:14.699
after all. For the promise of all the alien disclosure

00:08:14.699 --> 00:08:17.860
that I'm sure a lot of people in the community

00:08:17.860 --> 00:08:20.500
especially David Wilcock are pretty excited for

00:08:20.500 --> 00:08:24.420
right now. The Trump administration is doing

00:08:24.420 --> 00:08:27.279
some pretty fucking heinous shit, and I'm nodding

00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.319
out to get derailed by a little bit of alien

00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:34.460
disclosure. When he very clearly knows nothing

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:37.960
about it for everything he says. I think it's

00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:40.159
just another thing that he's kind of like, oh,

00:08:40.179 --> 00:08:43.000
look at this instead of the fact that I am in

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.779
the Epstein files, because I am allegedly a pedophile.

00:08:47.019 --> 00:08:50.240
So don't forget that. I guess opinion at this

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:52.639
point, but I don't know. When this podcast comes

00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.820
out, who knows where we're at. It's true. Things

00:08:56.820 --> 00:09:01.399
move fast. They do. Real fast these days. Anyhow,

00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:03.980
you guys got 48 hours. Just like, brace your

00:09:03.980 --> 00:09:06.200
legs for everything that happens because it's

00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:08.559
just like, it'll happen. There's 48 hours. I

00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:09.700
hope they're already braced. That's a lot of

00:09:09.700 --> 00:09:11.740
time. Yeah. Okay. Bye. Bye.
