As I SEA It

#climate #climatechange #commonsense #globalwarming #subsidies #greenenergy #fossilfuels #coal #naturalgas #oil #biden In this podcast episode I discuss the topic of climate change and the various perspectives surrounding it. I delve into the two rules I believe govern the discussion of climate change: common sense always wins over craziness, but it can take time for it to prevail, and subsidies distort markets and discourage innovation. I argue that instead of exploring cleaner and more efficient energy sources like natural gas, the government has been pushing for unreliable and expensive green energy that is heavily subsidized. I criticize the notion that our planet is facing a climate emergency and argue that worst-case scenarios created by computer simulations have not come to pass. I also dismiss the idea that the world is facing extinction and highlight the three schools of climate change: science, politics, and religion. I go on to critique some of the proposed solutions to combat climate change, such as banning meat consumption and limiting private vehicles. I question the credibility of organizations like the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group and express concern over the use of emergency powers by governments to push their climate agendas. I highlight the economic costs of climate change policies, including the impact on car manufacturers and the increasing subsidies for green technologies. I argue that these subsidies distort the market and prevent companies from investing in more efficient solutions. I also criticize the lack of evidence that government spending on climate change has any impact on actual climate change. I conclude by suggesting that planting trees could be a viable and cost-effective solution to combat global warming. I call for a reevaluation of current climate change policies and a focus on free markets and individual freedoms. For more exclusive content, join me at DeGreen.com!

#finance #responsibility #america #amendments #constitution #moneymanagement In this conversation, I discuss the urgent need for three constitutional amendments, which I call the Financial Responsibility Amendments (FRAs). These amendments aim to address the financial mismanagement of federal, state, and local governments. I explain that the government's excessive borrowing, raiding of public trust funds, and overspending have led to a dire financial situation. Criticizing the concept of modern monetary theory, which argues that monetarily sovereign governments can spend without constraints. I introduce the three FRAs: the Financial Heritage Amendment, the Public Employees Fairness Amendment, and the Regulatory Responsibility Amendment. The Financial Heritage Amendment aims to ensure that debts are repaid within a reasonable time, protect public trust funds, and require accurate financial reporting. The Public Employees Fairness Amendment seeks to eliminate unsustainable defined benefit plans for public employees and create equal treatment for public and private sector retirement plans. The Regulatory Responsibility Amendment aims to ensure that Congress approves regulations before they take effect, require periodic review of existing regulations, and limit the use of executive orders by the president. I strongly emphasize that these amendments are not partisan and do not infringe upon the rights of citizens. They provide a constitutional context for responsible financial decision-making and protect future generations' ability to make their own choices. I acknowledge that the transition to sound financial management will be complex and require careful consideration of existing practices. I encourage young people to lead the charge in advocating for these amendments, as I believe that the survival and financial well-being of the nation depend on it. He highlights the importance of the main goal of the financial responsibility movement, which is to achieve the ratification of all three FRAs and ensure their faithful implementation. I emphasize the importance of Article V of the Constitution, which outlines the amendment process, and assert that the fear of an open-ended convention is unfounded. We must take action to address the nation's financial challenges and preserve its greatness.

In this conversation, I discuss the not so new World Order and how the more things change, the more they stay the same. First, I talk about the tumbling Chinese economy and the high youth unemployment rate in China. Highlighting the failures of communism in the country and how it has led to economic turmoil and a lack of opportunity for young people. I also mention the challenges faced by real estate developers and the impact on the Chinese people who have paid for apartments they will never receive. Next, I discuss the unsustainable national debt in the United States. I emphasizes the drastic increase in debt during the Trump and Biden administrations and the negative impact it has on the country's financial future. I mention the growing interest expense and the limited options for addressing the debt without significant reductions in spending or tax increases. Lastly, I explore the resurgence of mercantilism in various countries, including the US. I explain how mercantilist policies, such as tariffs and subsidies, aim to maximize exports and minimize imports. I discuss the competition among nations to support domestic industries and reduce reliance on China. I also highlight the potential negative consequences for smaller economies that may struggle to compete in this new era of industrial policies. Overall, I argue that despite the notion of a new world order, these examples demonstrate that old problems and ideologies persist. The conversation sheds light on the challenges faced by China, the United States, and other countries as they navigate economic and political issues in an ever-changing global landscape. I encourage listeners to remain optimistic and believe that there are always opportunities to make money. For more exclusive content, join me at DeGreen.com!

#asiseait #keithdegreen #america #republicandebates #debates #ukraine #forgottenman #tribalism #ensenada #mexico #bali4.4 #catamaran In this edition of "As I SEA It," my guest Tom Dioro and I discuss various topics including my trip to Ensenada, the Republican presidential debate, great governance, Ukraine, inflation and interest rates, Putin's Russia, and the increasing tribalism in America. I shares my impression of different Republican candidates and express my support for Ukraine, criticizing President Biden's handling of the situation. I also discuss the impact of inflation and interest rates on the economy and predict that the Federal Reserve may lower rates in the second half of next year. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the tribalism in America and the importance of national identity. In this podcast conversation, we discuss the concept of the "forgotten man" and how it has been utilized by different political parties throughout history. We also discuss how Donald Trump has reinvented the concept of the common man, focusing not just on economic terms but also on people who feel angered and robbed of their national identity. I argue that the Republican Party should embrace this idea and prioritize the needs of the forgotten person rather than the Chamber of Commerce. The conversation then shifts to the left's strategy of creating tribes based on factors such as race, gender, and sexual orientation, as opposed to solely focusing on economic factors. They argue that these factors are more permanent in nature and can be used to create more reliable tribal identities. The conversation ends with some lighthearted banter about the weather and my experiences in Mexico so far. For more exclusive content, join me at DeGreen.com!

In this conversation, Steve discusses the early days of school choice and his experience as the chairman of a school choice trust organization in Arizona. We address the criticism that school choice only benefits higher net worth individuals and argue that the goal of school choice is to prioritize parental care and involvement rather than financial status. We also criticize the left for their perceived arrogance in believing that parents are not competent enough to make decisions about their children's education. Steve believes that school choice is an unstoppable force in America and predicts that it will continue to gain momentum in the next few years. We argue that access to a quality education is a civil rights issue and advocate for a system where the money follows the child, not the building. Steve discusses the legal battles and court cases he has faced in Arizona, including being sued on the grounds that the scholarships disproportionately went to faith-based schools. He describes the lengthy litigation process, including multiple trips to the United States Supreme Court, and the eventual success of the school choice side in recent cases. He finally expresses hope that the litigation is now over, thanks to recent favorable rulings in Montana and Maine.
