THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS


Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen. -George Orwell

RED EYE - JUNE 21, 2013 FULL EPISODE



Greg welcomes guests Gavin McInnes, Imogen Lloyd Weber and Gary Johnson.

Obama's Climate Plan: It's for the Kidz
Yes, the official subtitle of "President Obama's Plan to Cut Carbon Pollution" is "Taking Action for Our Kids." That should give you plenty of clues about the policies proposed therein.
The policy centers around three areas of executive action: killing coal-fired power plants, setting tough efficiency standards for homes and appliances, and generating more renewable energy on federal lands. Oh, and he's also going to stop any aid to the developing world that would be used to build coal power plants.
Taking these in order, killing coal-fired power plants is the culmination of the president's War on Coal. Coal provides more electricity than any other single power source in the U.S. however, and it does so at half the price of its nearest competitor, natural gas. Killing coal without making it far easier to extract natural gas (by, for example, lifting regulatory restrictions on fracking) will massively increase the nation's energy costs as well as putting thousands of coal miners out of work in some of the nation's poorest areas. The war on coal is a war on jobs.
