On today’s show, I talk a briefly about the progressives’ energy fantasies (see: the rest of this post), but the bulk of the show is a fantastic chat with my friend David Vining, a writer and film buff, who digs deep into cinema in his spare time and kindlry offered his review of “The Batman” and a fantastic John Ford gem called “The Fugitive” (both trailers are below).

If there were questions about how the progressive Democrats were going to move the U.S. toward their alternative energy plan — which relies on sometimes unreliable if not outright untested technology — the last several weeks should have provided an answer.
One word, they intend to lie.
Everyone from Biden’s administrative mouthpiece Jen Psaki to the Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm have suggested, by way of priming the pump (pun intended), that if Americans would simply buy electric cars, the high price of gas would not be troubling them.
And then there’s this nugget from March 2022:
Biden criticizes oil companies who refuse to produce more oil. He says they would prefer to take their profits and purchase back their stock. Instead of investing that money in the production of oil, Biden suggests they take it. pic.twitter.com/mMEAPIN2Zp

I’ll let The Wall Street Journal explain this nonsense:
He claimed that there are nearly 9,000 unused drilling permits and that only 10% of the onshore oil production occurs on federal land. It’s a misdirection play.
Companies must obtain additional permits to gain access to leases and to build pipelines for fuel transportation. Under the Biden Administration, this has been made more difficult. A second reason is that federal regulations make it difficult for companies to obtain enough permits in order to contract rigs.
It takes 140 days or so for the feds to approve a drilling permit versus two for the state of Texas. Onshore leasing has been stopped by the Administration. Producers are developing leases more slowly since they don’t know when more will be available. Because companies believe it may be the last offshore lease, offshore leases were sold at an auction in November.
Interior’s five-year leasing program for the Gulf of Mexico expires in June. Yet the Administration hasn’t promulgated a new plan. Nor did it appeal a liberal judge’s order in January revoking the November leases. But the Administration has appealed another judge’s order requiring that it hold lease sales.
And there’s more. You can read the entire thing.
You can expect to be flooded with energy as the Biden admin attempts to make Americans believe that they have a greener energy plan. We’ll all be propaganda experts on the subject by this time next year.
Choose a peaceful place and press Play.
