Warning Europe down to enter the arena and join the Battle to save America with your host Sean Parnell. Good evening, America, Welcome to Battleground Live. This is the show where we kick ass and take names and lockhorns with the radical left. We never quit, we never surrender. From sea to Shining Sea and everybody in between. Welcome Patriots on this Thursday and a glorious Thursday.
It is a little bit.
Nervous here over the last hour, really trying to troubleshoot what was going on with the show. All of a sudden, I started getting all of these notifications that my stream wasn't connected to the to rumble, that the live stream wasn't set up properly. And then I started getting notifications that that people were having trouble typing in the live chat. Yeah, that could be a little stressful, especially you know, when I look forward to this show every single day, I don't want to take any chances.
I want to make sure everything works out well.
I want to make sure that you guys get Battleground Live with regularly scheduled programming. If you remember, that was on the forefront of my mind. I told you last week a couple of times. Well, the very next week we're gonna get back to regularly scheduled programming. So the last thing that I wanted to have happen was some sort of snaffu with oh geez, I don't know the rumble stream or something like that. But it looks like we're up and running. It looks like everything is good, and really glad for that. Also want to thank Dan Nunn and the Nun Report for rating this stream all the nun chucks. If you haven't followed the Nun Report yet, you definitely should. He's got a great show. He's a great patriot, one of the good ones. Independent media is the future. So go and give him a follow because he's just a great, great human being. Also, so President Carter, I watched some of the funeral today.
We're going to get to that a little bit later.
And by the way, we've got the great founder executive director of the organization Power of the Future, Daniel Turner, is on deck tonight. Let me tell you there is nobody better in the universe than Daniel Turner to talk about what is happening with all the climate change hysteria and the Democrat playbook When something like a natural disaster happens.
It's the strangest thing in the world.
It's not strange to you and us, do you and I, because we know what we're talking about. Our eyes are fully opened. But the Democrats don't take accountability for anything. They use climate change. Oh, the climate change caused this. It wasn't us being complete dumbasses that led to this. It wasn't It wasn't us, you know, lack of force management, the fact that our fire hydrants are running dry.
It's just climate change. You see.
That's far easier for them to do, and they use it as a tool to avoid accountability. So we're talking with Daniel Turner about that and so much more. Again, he's he's one of our favorites here on Battleground Live. So he'll be on deck here shortly. But President Carter is his casket is in the Washington National Cathedral today, which, by the way, Washington National Cathedral is a is the culmination, the climax, the climax of my book One True Patriot happens in the Washington National Cathedral, and it's if you haven't been there, and I don't know, I know. Money's tight for everybody including us here at Fort Parnell. But it's kind of there's so much history in that church. I absolutely love that building. And we did tons of research at the Washington National Cathedral to make these end scenes of the book just top notch, all these secret compartments and tunnels and like crazy things there. But that is where President Jimmy Carter is today. And I wanted to draw attention to something because I think this is interesting. This is a picture of where Jimmy Carter's casket was laying in the Washington National Cathedral.
You know what that is.
That is the Jerusalem Cross that is etched in the floor of the altar of the Washington National Cathedral. This is essentially a Christian symbol, a Catholic symbol of that represents Christ's sacrifice that the Left has been freaking out over because Pete haig Seth has this tattoo on his body, the same damn thing, this same exact tattoo.
This is the same thing that Pete Eggs tattooed.
But this same damn thing, Jimmy Carter's casket is sitting on top of it, and no one seems to be concerned about being a white supremacist in that building.
No one's saying anything.
But the point is, you see how everything that the Democrats do, and much of this show, the theme is going to be how the Democrats really are just an existential threat to this country. Their policies are an existential threat to American safety. We talk about this often, But they also just truth doesn't exist in their world. I think that's why. Certainly, when you think about Democrat language, and they're experts at using language right, twisting words and something, you know, the media will echo those words and sometimes even conservatives, by the way, will find I mean, I have made mistakes and found myself using their words and not even realizing it.
That's how good they are with this stuff.
But I just I just feel like this is why they came up with the word my truth.
Oh this is my truth, because their world has no truth.
And I think that most Democrats, even if it's on an unconscious level, experience significant cognitive dissonance. It is difficult to live in a continuous world of lies, and they do, so they come up with things like, oh, this is just my truth. Actually there's no such thing as my truth. There's just the truth. But I think they do that and some level to keep themselves sane, even if they don't even realize it. So couple of couple of vote updates. One, let's talk about the Lake and Riley Act. Lake and Riley Act found its way to the United States Senate today. Eighty four Senators voted to advance the Lake and Riley Act, the nine no's eighty four to nine.
So it was the actual vote.
The nine no's Sanders, Shatz, Smith, Warren Booker, Herono, Kim Marky, Merkley. So you got to kind of wonder why Democrats would vote against a bill that would force the detention and perhaps deportation of criminal illegal alien invaders like Lake and Riley's murderer.
Again, you know, just said it.
Democrats and their policies in their worldview, Well, it's an They are an existential threat to this country and to American safety and welfare.
I read a story today about.
A California man found dead with a hose in his hand, trying to protect his parents' home that they owned for fifty five years.
That really shook me.
And you know, I've seen really terrible, horrifying things in my forty three years on this earth. I've seen human beings do terrible things to one another, and all the while, it seems at home and talked a little bit about what it means to have a home and how it's synonymous. I think, especially in America with the American dream. You've got pictures, you've got memories, you know, Christmases, Christmas mornings, you know, pictures of dead loved ones that hang in the hell. I mean, like homes have. Homes are more than just brick and mortar, so to speak. And I just feel like the Democrats are just not taken this seriously from Biden on down, and ultimately I think this will just wake more Americans up to the danger that they pose to this country in American safety. But the reason why this man was found dead with the hose in his hands, trying to protect his parents' home that they owned for fifty five years is because the government was so inept and so unprepared, with the fire Department and first responder agencies focused on DEI or forcing fit firefighters out because they refused to get the COVID vacs, leading to a shortage that undoubtedly cost issues during this wildfire. The only reason he had to do that and sacrifice his life is because Democrat policies and leadership led him inextricably to that moment. And it just makes me mad because these deaths, you know, Lake and Riley's death is another good example, these are completely preventable if we had the right leaders. And I saw Joe Biden today. They did a cabinet meeting, a televised cabinet meeting, Joe Biden sitting right next to cackling com Harris. Thank god, by the way, she did not win her bid for the White House. But Joe turned it over to Kamala during the cabinet meeting on the wildfires, and Joe said, fire away, no pun intended, and then they kind of laughed and Kamala cackled, and it just got me thinking, like, imagine being related to that California man who is just defending his parents home and hearing something like that. Would you think that your leaders had your back? Do you think that your leaders had your best interests at heart? Do you think that maybe we deserve a better class of American political leader in this country?
I think so, all right, we're gonna.
Get back to this wildfire stuff, and Daniel Turner will be here soon. So listen to Gavin Newsom today as he's touring these wildfires. Listen to what he says to the question about why the fire hydrants didn't have any water.
This situation with the water obviously in the palisage ran out last night in the hydrants.
I was started the firefighter on this block.
They left because there was no water in the hydrants here. The local folks are trying to figure that out. I mean, just when you have a system that it's not dissimilar to what we've seen in other extraordinarily large.
Local folks are going to have to figure that out. So to me, as someone who has.
You know, been in the military, been a platoon leader in combat and then company commander thereafter, or even maybe even in an executive officer in between, one thing that's drilled into you as a young officer is that you are responsible for everything that happens or fails to happen under your command. I look at our political leaders, whether they're Democrats or Republicans, by the way, at any level, local, state, or federal, through that same lens, anything that happens under their leadership. Political leadership, whether they're in Congress or the Senate. They're running a state as governor, doesn't matter to me. They are responsible for everything that happens or fails to happen. Now responsible giving grace here, not giving grace to Gavin Newsom, but giving grace, just blanket grace across the board. Responsible doesn't always mean you're at fault, but the buck stops with you. As a leader. It's your job to figure it out. So to hear Gavin Newsom say, well, the locals are gonna have to figure that out, or the locals will figure that out, it's just not it's not appropriate because the locals, I mean, the calcified bureaucracy in the uniparty out in California is such that no local member of any government out there can do anything without.
A permit from the state.
So it's like one big corrupt, self licking ice cream cone out there.
And let me tell you something else.
President Trump has been relentless about this, going after Newsom, going after Karen Bassi's the mayor of la who is in Africa at the President of Ghana's inauguration at the time while our city while they're he burned by the way she was on Kamala Harris a shortlist for vice president somehow. I mean, she is a thousand times worse than Tim Wallas, if you can even believe that. But these people are incompetent at every level, and President Trump is calling it out to saying, hey, you're accountable, do something, do better, do anything?
You know.
President Trump now is calling for the reservoirs up in northern California to be opened up to let water flow down state to help put out some of these fires. I mean, innovative leadership and strong leadership during times of crisis can be the difference between life and death. And the media, certainly the corporate media, the liberal media in these Democrat politicians are attacking President Trump for politicizing politicized.
I mean, it's do you ever notice.
That the very people, these liberals, who's devastating liberal policies directly lead to these, for example, wildfires in California. They never want to politicize anything that they themselves were in charge of. And when President Trump calls him out, they balk at it. But he is absolutely right. So Newsom was asked about Trump talking about him, and here's what he had to say.
We're in the public safety face. I hate to even ask this question, but the president electos to attack you, blame you. Four days one can't even respond to it. I mean, it's people are literally flean. People have lost their lives, kids lost their schools, families completely torn asunder, churches burned down. This guy wanted to politicize it.
I have a lot of thoughts, and I know what I want to say, I won't.
I stood next to the President of the United States of America today and I was proud to be with Joe Biden, and he had the backs of every single person in this community.
Actually, he said on the good news front, I became a great grandfather today. I mean, no bs, that's what That's what Biden said. I mean, so you see the Democrat playbook. Their policies lead to these natural, horrific natural disasters, the fact that they're utterly incompetent in every level, I mean, ultimately, their incompetence led to this stuff. But then their incompetence is in charge of the cleanup or navigating what is a natural disaster. And anytime anyone tries to hold them accountable, they play the victim. This is their playbook, over and over and over again. So we've got Daniel Turner now he's the founder and executive director of Power of the Future, and.
My good buddy, Daniel Turner. Welcome, my friend. How's it going.
Yeah, that's great. Through with you, Sean, Thank you so much.
Okay, So I just want to jump right into into all of this craziness with you. I feel like I did a similar show at this time of year last year, like probably last year about the wildfires in Maui, and it was many of the same issues, use of just basically democrat uniparty rule, whether it's you know, Hawaii being an island surrounded by water. I mean, they had the same issue with access to water during the wildfire. They had they had the same problems with you know, brush removal or forest management. They had the same problems with above ground power lines that should have been buried, especially in high wind areas. Yet they consistently reject this stuff, preferring instead to cut the budgets of our first responders and firefighters and sacrifice everything on this perverse, sick altar of diversity, equity and inclusion at the expense of everybody's safety and then act like the victim when something like this happens. It just it's getting to a boiling point with me, my friend, that it just seems like it's the same damn playbook over and over and over again. And I'm just I'm just wondering and hoping beyond hope that people wake up to it out there soon and kick all these idiots to the curb.
Yeah. Yeah, it's it's a lot to take in because you see the images and and the the level of destruction. Uh, we haven't even begun to see how how devastating it's going to be. And it's it's tragic, but it's also genuinely angering And I don't care. Yes, Gavin says, like you're politicizing this. Let's politicize it because you're Yeah, your party has been in control of California for decades and not just slight control, like complete, unabashed, unapologetic leftist control, and you say it's going to be the playbook for the nation. Right, California's green policies are leading the nation and they and they are very proud of it. Well, when you put all these green policies in play, this is kind of what you get right when you put when you put smelt above water for reservoirs and and and hydration. You know, it's still illegal in Los Angeles.
Explain, explained us what that is like this the spelt is like the fish thing, and I guess there's some EPA regulation tell it.
Explain that to us.
This is the abuse of the Endangered Species Act, right, And so this is this is where this is where Congress needs to do a good job defining laws more carefully. And and also where you know what the Chevron deference case was at the Supreme Court. When it's not well defined, we have left it up to the agencies to define it. But when you get bad apporate operators like the Biden administration in charge of these agencies, they define it crazy. So the Endangered Species Act, right, Well, of course we don't want to see animals go extinct. The smelt is not going extinct, but maybe the smelt in this one little part of California is disappearing. So they use the Endangered Species Act and say, therefore, we have to shut down all of these these reservoirs. Gavin Newsom's trying to knock down six dams throughout the state to close even more reservoirs or open them because of smelton, because of salmon. Well, we don't have a salmon shortage. You know, maybe there's there's a problem in this one particular area of California where there are fewer salmon. But you know what, there used to probably be coyotes in downtown Pittsburgh. Then people moved in, coyotes moved out. And that's just good, is it bad? That's just progress. And so they use the Endangered Species Act and so yeah, so they they've.
Smelts like a fish that's this big, it's like particularly and.
Again, the smelter everywhere, but in this particular river of California, they've they've abused the Endangered Species Act, and therefore we have a lot of water problem. And Trump is absolutely right. California's got a ton of water. The drought in California, and it did have a drought, no doubt, and lots of places in the world go through drought. We had a dust bowl in the center of the country for a decade. Right. The drought in California ended in twenty twenty two. But it is still illegal to water your lawn in Los Angeles, So people don't water their lawn and so your lawn is dead and a lot of people didn't rip up the dead lawn. They just left dead lawn. And so you've got dead lawn and dead trees and dead branches. It's illegal to remove fallen trees because again they claim that fallen trees become habitat for chipmunks and squirrels.
And are you serious, like this is it's actually illegal.
It's illegal to do forest management absolutely.
Because this is this is part of the go nature, right, This is this is what what Justin Trudeau did in California. And remember two years ago the fires that we saw in California, I'm sorry, in Canada and remember two years ago the fires that we saw in Canada that all of New York was under snug because the same deal, right, we're going to go natural, and by going natural means we're not allowed to clear, we're not allowed to remove brush, we're not allowed to move fallen trees. But so go natural. That's awesome, but nature is brutal, right, So what we're seeing with the forest fires in California is not That is nature. And what allows humans to, as the Bible says, right, like subdue the earth? What allows humans to do that? Efficiently are fossil fuels. So when nature has given its course, it is tornadoes and hurricanes. But when man is allowed to build, we build hurricane resistant buildings, and we build water walls, and we build remediation systems like irrigation. But what we're seeing in Los Angeles, those fires, that is nature and nature is brutal, and so we're allowing it to be natural, and this is the result. We cannot coexist with nature. Nature will always win. So do we decide we want to let humans win or do we want to let nature win? Well, nature is winning. Now, how's it going? California?
I mean, all of Pacific Palisades is pretty much gone. I mean it's really unbelievable that the level of damage and incompetence that led to this, So the fact that it's illegal to do any sort of forest management with you know, which essentially leads to these insane wildfires when coupled with high winds. And by the way, I should also say, you know, an enemy, a global enemy with an open border and facing an asymmetric threat, they know that these moronic liberal policies, They know what they can and can't do. And I mean, do they weaponize them against this using using natural disasters or or using scenarios like this. There have been stories of people lighting fires all throughout California, uh to, or through Los Angeles to make this worse, right, Yeah, and it's like it's and it's like these Democrat lead leaders and I use the term loosely, like Gavin Newsom takes zero responsibility for this, and I mean I mean none and in fact plays the victim. And then you know Karen Bass even in Los Angeles when this goes down and she can't even hold a basic press conference or read a website price. If you need help, go to you r L. I mean, this is no bullshit, man, how is it?
So?
What's your take on this? Like this Mia? You know Democrat leadership leadership? I mean, because it really is, they really are missing it actually be better if they were just missing in action.
Oh yeah, absolutely? Would you know? I'm not an anarchist. I clearly don't like big government. I don't like strong, powerful federal government. But there is a role for government. And our government does basic core functions very very poorly. And you can especially point to Democrats because they control most of our major if not all, of our major cities, And what's a major six city that's successful right now anywhere in the country, right that is not crime ridden, homeless ridden, filth ridden. Name once successful city, big city that you could point to and you're like, that city is doing gangbusters. All of our cities are completely falling. And so what we've done is we've started these popularity contests where we elect people on immutable characteristics of race and gender. Karen Bass is historic. Google Karen Bass historic election and you'll see countless articles about how historic it was that she won because she's a black woman and it was a historic short is she qualified to be to be mayor of Los Angeles? No, and not because she's a black woman, because she's just not qualified. And we see that across the board, right. California is the best example of that because name another state in the country that burns as much as California. Right. You never see southern Oregon have forest fires. You never see western Nevada have forest fires. You never see western Arizona have forest fires. You never see southwest Idaho have these. For it's only California, always California. And then Gavin Newsom gets to hide behind the climate change, right, And I always call climate change for the governors and our mayors. It's like the punch's pilot effect, where I just wash my hands. I am not guilty of this because climate change, and now you don't have to do the boring part. Let's be blunt. Did Gavin Newsom run for office to do forest management? Hell?
No?
Right? Did Karen Dass run for mayor of Los Angeles to do grid and infrastructure?
No?
She ran because of social justice and diversity and tolerance. And so they run on all of this bullshit, But then the very core functions that we ask them to do, like make sure there's water in the fire hydrants. I don't care that the fire chief is a lesbian. Lesbian would have water in the fire hydrants, right, So she's not even a good lesbian, it's her only qualification. And she said, I'm going to hire diverse people, not great firefighters. I'm going to hire diverse people. You're gonna tell me a great firefighter who's in charge of that area doesn't know that there's no water in those hydrants?
How how is that possible? Daniel?
Because these fire departments, I mean, you know how this goes man like they're doing their their quarterly checks or you know, they're they test this stuff.
How is it possible, especially out in California.
As you said, California is like one of the only states that has these insane, insane wildfires, which is, by the way, a very interesting point. But how does it happen, especially when you know that as a firefighter in Los Angeles and you don't check.
Yeah, I just I just.
Don't yeah exactly, loss of words. And if this world happened in a super red state, they would have said, See, that's what you get. That's what you get when you think everyone's on your own. I believe in government, But California is the most taxed, the most expensive state in the nation by far right there. I was looking at taxes the other day. I think in Virginia we pay five point five percent income tax. Tragic still, but California is over thirteen percent income tax, state level income tax. California is The's why it's also the leading exodus state in the nation. People are fleeing. And you know what, people are going to flee after this because the same incompetent people who run the state and the city are now going to be running the permitting to rebuild your house. And I hate to be a naysayer. I don't want to pile on and make things worse. But way do you see the push of the environmental left to say, you know what, maybe we shouldn't rebuild those houses.
Do you think that's going to happen?
Fuck? You? Can I say that?
Yeah? Can I encourage it? Yes?
One hundred percent. Those houses on the water in Malibu, they're going to say, you know what, it has gone back to nature. As you think, you think, there's going to be a huge fight to say we're not rebuilding, and you're not allowed to rebuild because because this is what we've done by destroying nature. That's how insane these climate people are. And it's gonna be decades. I mean, you look at the permitting process to try to build a shed in your backyard. Not yours are mine because that's what we live in the country, right, But in places like Pasadena you want to change the shingles on your house, whoa, look at the permitting process you got to go through. Now you've got five thousand people who need to get permits. Good fucking luck, you know, look at the incompetence that run the city again. They don't know there's no water in the fire hydrants, right, Yeah, And there's so many things, Sean, I could talk about this till I'm blue in the face. What would your electric vehicle have done?
Oh?
I mean that that was gonna be one of my follow on questions. And you know, California is doubling down on all this stuff and saying zero gas powered vehicles by twenty thirty five. How in God's name? First of all, is that even possible? I don't think that it is. I don't see, I just don't. But second of all, these electric vehicles are notoriously unreliable during times of emergencies, extreme cold, heat.
It's crazy.
What if you just didn't charge it? What if you just got home, you know, you forgot to plug it in, and now you hear the alerts saying evacuate, evacuate, And what do you do, right? I mean, with a gallon of gas in the car, you can at least get ten miles away, and that's all you need to go is ten miles with a dead car? What do you do right? So your electric vehicle would have been absolutely useless. Again, there's so many things converging at this one moment of bad policies, green policies, incompetence, DEI the climate nonsense, like that's all, and this is it. California is their their mecca. California is there is their gold standard of how these policies work. Fuck. Just a week ago, Gavin was talking about Trump proofing the state because we are so great, we are going to stand up.
To Trump in the in the cow.
I'm so glad that you brought that up, because in the California legislature today, do you know what they were doing. They were appropriating funds for legal fights to challenge Donald Trump. It is it is just a dereliction of duty of the highest order. It's it's just like incomprehensible to me that that anybody could think like this, Yet Democrats do, and it's fair.
It happens almost at every level.
I mean, you know, like you said, Gavin Newsom, Caaren Bass, Kamala Harris, Tim Walls, They're all the same to me, they really are. They They're essentially interchangeable. During these times of great crisis, They're all just perfectly useless in almost every single way. And I do think it's it's because they're just what completely steeped on this, you know, insane Marxists DEI like virtue signaling, crap like. But while they're focused on that, there there's there's no water in the fire hydrants and you know, I just it's it's crazy to me.
And at the federal level, they've always been able to blame the other guy that my predecessor, right, Obama blamed Bush, Trump blamed Obama, Biden blamed Trump.
Right.
So there's always since we flipped parties, especially historically now we've been flipping every election. Basically, we flip party. We flipped party. Yeah, and since my whole life, right, we flip we go to what you know, the I think when was the last time the continuity have a party was Bush after Reagan? Right, was the only time that we went twelve years of the same political parties otherwise flip flip. But California hasn't done that. It has been Democrat after Democrat after Demo, more and more to the left Democrat and and Gavin Newsom did to California. What what Kamala Harris did to the border, right, Wow, we've all watched it. We all witnessed it. And and we're being told, like, don't believe your lying eyes. Everything is great. Gavin Newsom is saying this is all climate change's fault. Kamala is telling you the border is safe. The bullet we dodged in November cannot be more more salient right now because Kamala is Gavin Newsom and and these policies would have been cemented further in place if she had won, and pretty soon all of America would be burning like California.
I saw, I think, I think you're wrong with Jack Pisobic yesterday where you made the point about Karen Bass being at the you know, presidential inauguration in Ghana, Africa while our city bars weren't you Who among us is not at the president of Ghana's inauguration?
How?
Who perfect role for the mayor of Los Angeles?
Why is there? Why is it appropriate for her to be there?
The Japanese emperor is going to have root canal. It's like, well, I guess the mayor of Buffalo.
It's insanely random.
I don't even understand it. It's like it really is.
But you mad.
You made a parallel point about you drew a contrast between that and the left and the media's reaction to Ted Cruz being I think, on vacation with his family in Cancun during that terrible ice storm.
Yeah, you know, and that ice storm kind of did come out of nowhere. It's not like these fires that she had been briefed on before she got on a plane. Some of the earliest speculation is that these fires started on New Year's because of fireworks, and there was a point on New Year's Day that these these fires were a few hundred acres in size. That that you say, a competent mayor and a competent team could have said, all right, we're heading into Santa Ana win season. We can squash this thing now. But they didn't. So aside from that, they started off very small. But the ice storm really did come out of nowhere, and Ted Cruse was with his family on vacation and Texans all of a sudden woke up to a day and a half of sleep in rain that froze all the wind turbines, and she closed the electric grid and forty seven I think people froze to death in their homes, and everybody blasted Ted Cruz for being out of the country when it happened and the stupidity of that even is not just the timing, because of course he didn't know a nice storm was coming, But the stupidity is that a US senator has no state authority, right Like, even if he had been home, what is he going to do? It's kind of what annoys me whenever like these senators get on TV. You know, it's like I'm gonna be It's like you don't have anything to do, like go back to DC and do your job at the federal level. You're not the governor or the mayor. But she is the mayor, right like, this is her responsibility. And she knew that this was going to she was briefed before she got on a plane that this was going to be bad, but she still went to Ghana. Again further proof there's no such thing as climate change, because who gets on a plane to go to Ghana from Los Angeles if there's a climate crisis? Fuck Biden? Why was he in Los Angeles? Not to greet these the firefighters? He was there to see his grand great grandson or daughter. He didn't remember which one.
It was, really is that that he did? He was That's why he was there.
Yeah, remember he well he of course, they found an excuse so that the taxpayers paid for the trip. So I'm sure they set up a meeting somewhere so that air force one. Otherwise the president has to come out of pocket. So they always find a reason.
Are you kidding me? Oh?
Yeah? So But but if you saw him standing next to Gaven News and.
That did yeah, where he's like, I'm a great and and and more positive news. I mean, after all the Pacific House, he was gone, I'm a great grandfather.
They found some stupid reason for him to be in Los Angeles, and he also wanted to see his great grandson. So that's how they made because that's how they always make this and make this shit happen. But but how bad is the climate crisis? Right? You jumped on a plane to go to California to meet your great great grand son daughter. Again, no one knows what it is, and I'm sure that kid's gonna grow so fucked up. It's not gonna know what Biden. After all, you know, congrats on the inheritance. Though, Jo sent the check and a gift.
You know, a bunch of Russian oligarchs come bearing gifts for your.
Great maybe uncle Hunter gave him one of his ship finger doodles right with all the splotches and.
Maybe amon that he got from the CCP exactly.
But you know, these people will jump on planes for any possible reason. But then they'll tell you that as a climate crisis.
And that's where I mean the whole climate change thing first of all, you know, I mean I saw elon Musk today say, oh, climate change is real, but it's happening very slow. Well, I mean I would put forth like the climate has always changed. It has changed on planet Earth forever. That is a constant. The question is is it man made?
And I buying it?
I'm sorry, And moreover not not only am I not buying it? None of the actual independent science asserts that. And you know most of these, you know, climate change scientists are all sponsored by the government, who are who are looking for a specific result from the research. Otherwise the researcher doesn't get the funding. Again, all this like left wing corrupt, self licking ice cream cone. It's it's seriously all the same, almost all the time in almost every different area. It's just propaganda, but it's it's it's the agenda that is scary, just like they use the agenda to escape accountability, So too do they use the climate change agenda to exert total control over all of.
Us exactly, and again, further proof that they don't believe the climate agenda is even real is that if you were the governor of California, or if you were the mayor of Los Angeles, and you deeply, deeply believed climate change is real, then what steps are you taking to climate change proof the areas of your jurists?
Absolutely freaking al Gore has a carbon footprint the size of Portland, Oregon at one of his mansions.
He doesn't give a shit.
Yeah, And so the people who really believe something uppers whatever, they take action, right Like, I believe they're coming. So I have AMMO and guns and food, and I am prepared because that's fine, you believe it, but I genuinely believe you believe it because you're taking preparatory action. If Gavin really believed climate change was real, then where is his master plan to say climate change is real? It's gonna come for us, But I am gonna be fucking ready because I know we have fires and strong winds in California. There were no plans, so that's just again what I hate about the left is they just sit there like the victims. It's one of the reasons why I you know, watching the Carter's funeral early. I've done some media on him recently. One of the things I hated about him was when the Opek embargo happened, and he was like, well, I guess we have to start rationing gas. Like we're always just passive recipients of other people's bullshit, whether it's dictator, whether it's Iran, or in this case it's climate change. Climate change is coming. Nothing we can do. We just got to sit here and take it. Cowardice, weakness, fecklessness. You can't hate these people enough.
You know what. That is such a great point.
And you know, Jimmy, Jimmy Carter not the not to speak ill of the dead, that's not my intention. But you know he was wait, well he was saying, you know, he's like he he was like a big climate change guy even way back then. And you're you're absolutely right, this whole Obama you know, with Obama, we're leading from behind, Like what how does that even remember remember that like leading from behind in his apology tour? Uh that this is you know, a core principle of liberalism is that we're just passive in the world. And then you then you juxtapose that to Trump, who's not even an office yet. I think we got what like eleven days now, and this guy's like, yeah, we're gonna acquire Greenland because it's strategically important and maritime shipping in the Arctic.
Russia ain't gonna have that.
Yeah, Canada, you know, Russia and China are a threat in our northern hemisphere and Canada doesn't have the military budget to protect themselves. So maybe you should become the fifty first state. The CCP controls the Panama Canal, And you know what, that's just I mean.
He's just like it is just like one. I just I just like it. I mean, he's just basically sending a signal to the world regardless of whether or not Canada becomes a fifty first state. To me, it's more of a signal like you don't get the f around anymore with America. And I appreciate that absolutely.
Yeah, And it's why the left hates toxic masculinity. It's why they hate two genders, right, they hate anything that is you know, it's anything that is true.
Why why where did this come from?
The left was supposed to be the classical freethinking, The classical liberalism is about tolerance and free thinking.
And I don't I don't understand it.
Yeah, and this is a moment again, what's happening in California is tragic and we have to help. These are our fellow Americans. But this is a moment for the right to not point fingers with mock or ridicule, but to point fingers and say, this is what the left does. This is what they do to our cities. This is what I mean. This was This was also the theme of the November election, right, and when Kamalo would say, we're not going back, and the voters were like, yeah, I kind of want to go back to the This is what we need to see in my home city of New York, which is just an absolute shithole, right, tragically, you know, they and it's also what the left. Jesse Kelly talks about this the most, and he wrote a whole book on it, right the left of the communist What he does is they take what others have built and they just destroy it. They didn't build Harvard, but they got in and they filled it with They're evil and they fucking destroyed it. They didn't build Los Angeles, but they got in and they destroyed it. They didn't build the Boy Scouts, but they took it over and they fucking destroyed it. They didn't build the military, but they got in. They wore their little weird masks and they were trying to destroy it. And your buddy's gonna gonna save them. And this is, this is the Left in a nutshell, and it is time for us and patriots to point and say we are not letting this happen anymore, and we're not letting it happen to our cities. So I'm certainly not letting it happen to our country and hopefully our institutions, you know, I mean, this is the Left has destroyed everything, and we've been so fucking tolerant about it for thirty years, right, We've been tolerant that we allow them to teach communism in our school, we allow them to tear down our statues in our cities, we allow them to and and holy fuck, are we fed up?
And you know, Daniel, this is I'm so this is fascinating to me because yeah, you're right, Jesse Kelly does talk about this stuff a lot. But why does the left? I guess the core question is why do they do this? Is it just all about control and power? And I think that's I think it's I probably answered my own question. Yea, so twofold question, why does the left do this? And the back part of that question is how do we commi proof you know, the Boy Scouts of America, Los Angeles, the United States Military? How do we look you know, not just you know, because you said yourself and you're absolutely right. I mean, at least at the federal level, there's it's back and forth, you know, yeah, you know Bush Obama Trump, Biden Trump, So there's always like this pendulum swinging.
Back and forth at the federal level.
So how do we how do and the Democrats actually do a good job at this because they get these little commi infiltrators at every level. So even when a Republican administration comes in, they still have these deep state commis that try to stifle a Republican agenda.
How do we do that? I guess?
Yeah, the first part, why do they do this? It's definitely powered. They have to infiltrate because they're incapable of creating anything. Creating takes work, it takes vision, it takes skill, and they don't create. That's why they love abortion. Also, they don't like creation. They like it's just easier and it's infiltrate and take over. And how do we do it? We do it by the virtue of intolerance. And our parents used to be very intolerant, right, like think back, and I know I'm a little older than you, but we're kind of the same age we are. But like, like think back to like you know TV shows where something would come on and your dad would flip and he put his hand over your eyes or kick you out of the room and be angry that this was on intolerance, like we're not tolerating that, or you said something wrong. You know, eventually you start cursing in front of you dad, but not when you're a certain age and your dad just backhands you, right, or you smack talk him and he backhands like intolerance. And I think we've they've they've used the left loves to use our virtues against us. That's why the climate people will always begin by saying, of course you want clean air and clean water. Don't you fucking put me in that box that I don't want clean air and clean You're taking your virtues and using them against you to make you buy onto their agenda. I think what we need is complete intolerance. We need intolerance. We need patriotic intolerance, right. We need to be intolerant of people who are not American in America. We need to be intolerant of people who are not military material in the military. We need to be intolerant of people who are not patriotic who hate this country. You remember when Hillary back in the day when she said the greatest form of patriotism a dissent is the highest form of patriotism. That should have right there. Intolerance would have put her in her place forever, but it didn't because we were like, well, what she's probably say and we try to explain. So I think we have to take back what is rightfully ours and be ruthlessly intolerance.
I you know what, man, that is very, very great insight, and I think there's something to that.
Why McCarthy got so excoriated because he was so good at it. He wasn't going to tolerate one communist in the country. And then they were like, you have to tolerate some communists. A lot of people joke like the only thing wrong with McCarthy was it didn't go far enough.
But what's funny is that back then Hollywood was filled with patriots that were fighting against the commies, and then now Hollywood is they're all the comedies exactly. They're all like the Hollywood folks, They're all comedies.
Daniel.
People are going crazy, man. People were saying like people are throwing rumble rant tips. In the live chat, Demanda says, we love Daniel Turner. Keep bringing them back. Dorry just tipped in the live chat says, we are digging Daniel, have them come back weekly. Gee Fontas, thank you everybody for the rumble rant tip one hundred percent back into the studio. But people are loving people are loving them some Daniel Turner on the show, and you got a great audience.
And we need to find each other and support each other because you know, we we won the election in November because of this, and we can win back everything, but we just need to We need to build our community again.
So I so so to the last question, I'll ask and I promise I'll let you go because so we won the election right and in an historic fashion.
But now you have Biden cramming.
Through all of this insane bullshit is clearly not consonant with what the vision of the American people is and what their man the mandate that they gave President Trump when he won. One of the things that Biden did, inexplicably was banned offshore drilling, Like clearly that's not what the American people wanted, right, And then Trump had to come out and say, well, I'm on ondoing all of that on day one. I mean, do you have any insight into that, Like, is that is that really going to say? Like if Biden does ban it, are these companies going to have to completely stop doing it? And are they going to be able to spool back up right away when Trump gets in?
Yeah, well, it's why I'm in this awful hotel room the way I'm in DC to looking to elected officials about this very issue. But I do wear a tie for them. I took it off for you.
Wait, but they pause there before you answer the question.
So you're you're in DC talking to elected officials about this this question, So I guess it was a pertinent question, but you shaved the beard, shaved the mighty mighty beard.
I did. I did? I know, flat out someone like someone was like, you got to get rid of the beard. And when the right person tells you that, you're just like, well, there you go.
You know, So.
The beard disappeared. Yeah, but yes, I'm in DC to talk to elected officials about that. So what Biden did is the Outer Continental Shelf Act of nineteen fifty three. Right, it does give the president the authority to set waters aside around on our borders, our waterways right, Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf, Arctic, et cetera. The problem with the law is that it gives the president the provisions to put land in, doesn't give him the provisions to take land out. So that's why Biden saying I'm going to do this and no one's going to be able to undo it. And sadly, to an extent, he's right. Obama did this as well, and Trump reversed it and immediately went to the courts, and the courts decided with the law. It's a fix because we just have to legislatively change the law. And that's why we're here in Washington, DC. This is not an insurmountable goal, but just the way Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom like to talk about equity and social justice and not water in the fire hydrants. Sadly, a lot of our elected officials like to talk about equity and togetherness in Ukraine and not do boring things like fix the Outer Continental Shelf Act of nineteen fifty three. So the part of Power the Future's job is to hold people accountable and hold their feet to the fire and say like, this is what we need from you. I don't know what There's not going to be an immediate economic feel because we're not drilling in this land anyway, so it's not like things are coming off like being denied us. But we don't know what value we're leaving on the table right because we haven't been able to explore there, and people like, well, maybe there's nothing there. Here's where it becomes tricky. We know there are things there, because yes, there is American waters, but then you cross that imaginary line and you're in international waters and Russia is operating in the Arctic. China has the largest oil platform in the world, and it's in the Gulf of Mexico in international waters, but it's in the Gulf of Mexico, and so they know there's shit there, they know there's oil, they know there's gas, they know what's worth drilling. Only America now is prohibited from from.
It pisses me off so much because here's another damn good example of how we we we willingly handicap ourselves while our enemies capitalize on this weakness.
It just drives me insane.
Yeah, it's it's a policy of Biden. And if Putin and g had created our energy policy, they couldn't have written a better one that is more favorable to them.
And that's what I guess, that's what I meant our adversaries, I mean, are they directly involved in maybe slighting some of these fires, or at least they know our protocol where they're not, there's no forest management, but they definitely know where.
The holes in our geopolitical strategy are.
Evidence as evidence by you know, China drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, which by the way, is offensive to me that we would allow that, we would even allow something like that to happen.
Oh absolutely, yeah, and and and just we just have to deal with it, you know. Again, it's that passive well, that's just the way it is, and it's incredibly frustrating. So so yeah, there's an awful lot that we have to do when the Trump administration comes in and and having access to these resources is just absolutely vital right for our national security. But it's the perfect example. I mean, this week is the perfect example of the green agenda in a nutshell, California's green agenda the state is burning to the ground, right, Biden's green agenda of solar panels across America covered in eighteen inches of snow, right, and Biden's oil and gas offshore policy. Russia and China absolutely love it. Right those if there aren't examples of where the green agenda has just destroyed America and made our enemies more prosperous. It's infuriating, it really is. I joke all the time, you know, I asked to have less hatred in my heart in twenty twenty five, like dear Lord, let me. And it's just it's very hard. I don't want to. I hate a strong word, but I I hate you.
Just let it be your fuel, Just change your change your prayer, just say use my hate.
It's just pure evil, it really is. It's pure evil and they hide behind the climate, you know, to say I'm just doing this because I care about the future.
If they got what they wanted, millions of people would starve in this world.
Yep.
I mean, it's just the truth.
You know.
Fossil fuels lifts people up out of poverty. It's just amazing how these leftists. I mean, this is why I say all the time, and maybe some people think it's extreme, but when I Democrats, especially in their policies, are an existential threat to America and Americans safety.
I just believe that.
And look what's happening in California, and look at China drilling on our golf of Mexico.
Craziness needs to stop.
Biden just gave the Presidential Meddal of Freedom to Jane Goodall, who a lot of people know is like that nice old lady who teaches monkeys how to play the piano or something right like whatever, like her primate knowledge. I'm sure it is fascinating, and it's cool that she lives in the jungle and plays with the monkeys, like that's what do you want. Jane Goodall's policies are genuine evil And I tweeted this a lot while she was receiving the award. Don't let the little old lady act fool you like she is. Her policies are evil. And she talks about the need to return to the eighteenth century population to get the eighteenth century climate. And that's eighty percent of the planet dying. And she says, and we need to put in place policies to return to that size population. Who should die, Jane, I'm sure not you, right, I have more respect for the climate lunatic who bites who lights himself on fire, right, Like, I at least respect that guy. Fucking crazy, But several of them do every year they and they light themselves on fire for climate change. Awesome, buddy, one less lunatic on this planet. Jane's not going to do that, but she's going to advocate for policies that eighty percent of black and brown young people ate.
Like.
She doesn't want the third world to exist, she doesn't want development. She wants eighty percent of the world to die so that she can live in the in the eighteenth century climate. And Biden gave her an award and we call her like a visionary and she just cares about the earth. She's fucking Hitler without an army. Her policies are just as eugenic, they're just as misanthropic, they're just as diabolical. She just doesn't have the power to implement them. But she's she is an evil old lady, and and and we give them awards. It becomes my anger is sorry.
To get it's insane. I completely agree with you.
Jane Goodall. Hopefully she hears some of this one day and she's like that man very much, nasty, old, evil woman, disgusting, disgusting. Mine is a brick getting a presidential Medal of Freedom. Oh yeah, why did line a Messy get it? You know, soccer a lousy sport. B he's a soccer player. Why is he getting the presidential middle of Excuse.
Me, Daniel, it's foot, it's football, it's football.
I mean, I understand Bono, right. Bono is kind of like Jesus two point zero, So I get why that was.
That was okay with Denzel too. Denzel's hard to dislike.
Sure, at least he's American and he's a great actor. But like Lionel MESSI, of course, Soros don't even.
Yeah, I can't even can't even with sorows and Hillary. Oh my god, they throw it in your face all the time.
You know, you know who he didn't give it to, didn't give it to Obama. Everyone noticed that. That's pretty interesting, right, Obama gave it to Clinton on his way out the door.
But actually is interesting.
That is.
Something something there, so something something for sure. All right, tell us, tell us where we can find you and how we can support you.
Washington, d C. Yeah, if you're you're in town, I have a drink in that now or hopefully several powerthfuture dot com. You can shoot me an email Daniel at powerthfuture dot com. I love being on with you. Sean. You're a pay tremendous patriot. You do so much good for the country, make the world a better place. So thank you brother.
Oh Daniel, you're the best man.
Best of luck in Washington in the swamp, trying to talk sense into those politicians on both.
Sides of the aisle.
Everybody that's out there watching, support this guy, support Power of the Future. It's a great organization. Thanks my friend, see us soon. God bless all right, that's Daniel Turner, one of the best guys in the business to talk about climate change and Marxism and commy leftist Democrats. Just an amazing guy. Make sure you support power in the future. Make sure you support Daniel Turner. Okay, folks, I hope you liked Daniel Turner. Gee Fontes, Dory, everybody that threw a rumble rant tip Demanda, thank you. I like the idea of Turner Tuesdays.
I really do.
Uh. Daniel Turner's legit. He's a good guy always, Folks, God bless you all. I got a call from my daughter just before I went live. Ten minutes before I went live. She had just left her basketball game. She was having just a great day. You could see it all over her face, smiling, beaming. She did great on this standardized test that she had. Finally, for the first time, her coach started her during the basketball game that she had today, which is amazing. I mean, this is my daughter who had never played basketball before in her life, took a risk as an eighth grader, walked onto a team, didn't think she'd make it, but made it, and then you know, you know, got in the games a little bit here and there. But today she actually started super excited about that, and she won an award for a poem that she wrote a state award for writing, which is kind of amazing coming from a knuckle dragon guy myself with five books. I'm not the smartest guy in the world. Certainly am as a heck of a lot smarter than me, But congratulations Emma, and folks, on your way out the door, make sure you smash that like by that little I gotta get this right or people get mad. That little gray thumb button beneath the video that turns green when you smash it. Go ahead and smash it. Rumble takes that into consideration when they determine who goes on the leader board. You know, it's like one of those things like I don't want to remind you fifty times during the show because I think that takes away from the flow of the show. But I got to remind you a couple of times. So on your way out the door, as you pop smoke, smash that like button. Help get Battleground Live on the leaderboard. And as always, folks, that's it for Battleground Live tonight tomorrow. I'm still working on Brian Dean Wright for right night. Love that guy much much to talk about with him. So as always, God bless you, all. God bless this amazing country that we call home. Take care, good night, and I will see you tomorrow.
On Friday,
