The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Dr. Hickey shows that, if you apply ECCC's trend analysis method to their data, you find an increase of 1.74° C from 1948 to 2018. And then, he tells us, if you correct for the one-degree step increase in 1998, you find only a 0.29°C rise. That small change “is indistinguishable from zero,” explains Hickey. “There is no evidence of warmi...

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – If Venezuela represents enforcement rather than rhetoric, what comes next? How should we interpret growing U.S. concern over cartels, transnational crime, human and sex trafficking, and state corruption in countries like Mexico and Brazil? Are these law-enforcement challenges—or national-security threats now falling under the same hemispheric doctrine...

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – A dramatic U.S. military operation against Venezuela’s regime reveals a far larger strategy at work. Beyond oil and narcotics, the Trump administration signals a renewed commitment to the Monroe Doctrine, confronting China, Russia, and Iran’s growing influence in the Western Hemisphere while reframing American national security priorities on the global stage...

The Prism of America’s Education with Host Karen Schoen – The threat of impending ecological disasters is uniting the world through a plethora of international treaties and conventions. Should your company or country not comply with the insane strangling regulations that do nothing for the environment, you will pay a tax to the corrupt Marxist United Nations. In reality, it’s about the money. Just...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Even when solar power plants are built in Canada, the U.S., or Europe, the panels themselves are usually made in China. That is because manufacturing has shifted from Europe, Japan, and the U.S. to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) over the past decade, with PRC investing over USD 50 billion in the photovoltaic supply...

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Food and gas prices drop this holiday season as the U.S. economy heads toward 2026 under President Donald Trump’s leadership. Lower fuel costs, cheaper grocery staples, rising tax refunds, and record tariff revenue signal growing affordability for American families and continued economic momentum nationwide during a time of increased travel and consumer spendin...

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Liberty depends on citizens who stay engaged where power is closest. Rising energy and housing costs reveal how fragile freedom becomes when decisions drift away from local control. History, constitutional limits, and personal responsibility matter now. A republic endures only when people vote, serve, and protect faith, family, and community...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – The National and Liberal parties in Australia have also called for a retraction of dangerous and expensive climate plans? Or that New York State and Governor Kathy Hochul appear to have stepped back from green energy, regarding buildings and pipelines. Or that Massachusetts also seems to be stepping back from renewable energy?

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – A core theme of the episode is economic impact. Jim walks through how nuclear plants deliver long-term benefits across multiple dimensions: stable tax bases for counties and school districts, thousands of high-paying skilled jobs, sustained regional economic activity, and decades of reliable baseload electricity. He references the Economic Impact...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Coal mining illustrates the dynamic: federal energy transitions reduced demand, but state-level permitting and environmental rules added costs that hastened closures. Steel and heavy manufacturing faced similar pressures, with regulatory hurdles limiting retooling or expansion. Agriculture, too, struggles under complex labor, land-use, a...

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – Renewables have not ushered in prosperity—they have destroyed competitiveness, destabilized grids, and accelerated geopolitical decline. Europe is the test case, and the results are catastrophic. This episode makes the argument plainly: Renewables are dead. Fossil fuels remain dominant. And the nations that accept this reality will...

Truth Be Told with Booker Scott – Rising prices shape how families judge leadership, not political slogans or charts. Real policy choices affect paychecks, gas, and groceries right now. Misinformation erodes trust while real threats go unresolved. Leadership is measured by truth, accountability, and results that improve daily life, strengthen civic trust, and demand action over outrage...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Climate anxiety grips a generation, fueling fear, eco-grief, and hopelessness about the future. Heartland Institute fellow Linnea Lueken challenges the idea of a climate crisis, arguing that exaggerated narratives harm young people’s mental health and overlook technological progress that ensures abundant, affordable energy for generation...

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – What you’re watching now is a long, cynical effort by Western elites to hide their own failures behind a forever-war narrative. The same political class that has run Britain, France, Germany, the EU, and Washington into stagnation and crisis is desperate to avoid accountability when the bill for Ukraine finally comes due...

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – Todd shows how political fantasies about 100% renewables collide with materials limits, cost structures, and physical constraints. This leads into a breakdown of U.S. power-demand forecasts, referencing new research from Grid Strategies, EPRI, and DOE scenario modeling. All three converge on the same conclusion: the US is entering an era of...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Francis Menton challenges prevailing climate narratives, questioning whether renewable-powered grids have ever been proven at scale. He examines the practical and economic realities of shifting cities to wind, solar, and battery systems while critiquing New York’s climate policies. His work offers a sharp, reasoned perspective on energy,...

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – Todd and Doomberg examine how NATO’s leverage is eroding, not because of battlefield conditions alone, but because Europe imports almost all its essential energy, leaving its cost of capital, industrial competitiveness, and geopolitical autonomy dependent on foreign suppliers. Natural gas is the clearest example: high import prices and a lack of...

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal – Democratic capitalism depends not just on markets or politics, but on the moral-cultural foundation that enables growth, innovation, and freedom. When the moral-cultural system (climate virtue signalling, identity politics, de-industrialisation) overtakes the economic system, affordability and growth suffer...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – The UN’s COP30 conference in Brazil claims to save the rainforest but destroys it for a highway restricted to delegates. While preaching climate restraint, thousands fly in, fueling hypocrisy. True progress means practical pollution control, clean energy, and honest trade-offs, not costly global spectacles that harm the environment and t...

Geopower, Energy Realpolitik with Todd Royal - The stakes extend far beyond municipal governance—this election signals how urban energy policy, infrastructure resilience, and geopolitical considerations (from LNG supply to semiconductor-driven data-center demand) are now front-and-centre in big-city contests. With McKinney-based data centre expansions and grid load forecasts pointing to...

The Prism of America’s Education with Host Karen Schoen – AI needs a tremendous amount of power for those huge server farms. Fossil fuels are the least expensive and most efficient fuels. So after spending billions and closing fossil fuel plants across the country, Bill says, "Oops." I don't buy that. They LIED, and now they realize our grids will not sustain what they want! The hell with the need...

The Prism of America’s Education with Host Karen Schoen – I sent a letter to Governor DeSantis, asking him what solar panels taste like as we replace our food farms with solar farms. I never got an answer. I started researching in my old files. I was trying to find out why, when President Trump's energy policy is drill baby drill, and uses all forms of energy, Florida is not paying attention...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – A new era in U.S. climate and energy policy emerges as President Trump reverses globalist environmental mandates. From exiting the Paris Agreement to prioritizing affordable, reliable American energy, leaders refocus on national strength over international approval. Dr. Sterling Burnett of The Heartland Institute explains how this shift...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – President Trump delivers a fiery address at the United Nations General Assembly, challenging global leaders on climate change, energy policy, and immigration. He denounces green energy as a hoax and warns against destructive political correctness. With unapologetic candor, Trump calls for bold action, exposing what he describes as the wo...

The Other Side of the Story with Tom Harris and Todd Royal – Overall, are hurricanes really increasing due to climate change? Will this be an unusually cold winter with lots of snow? To answer these questions, we have invited leading meteorologist Joe Bastardi to be on the show today. Joe is the Chief Forecaster for WeatherBELL, and, unlike your local TV weatherman, he has to be right...
