In the first half, Steve Goreham, the executive director of the Climate Science Coalition of America, discussed the rising demand for electric power and the impending "green energy breakdown". He criticized green energy initiatives, declaring, "the idea that we can stop the oceans from rising if we all drive electric cars or put in solar panels, that's basically modern superstition."
Goreham argued the allocation of resources to green energy is ineffective, emphasizing that despite nearly $2 trillion spent last year, it's "unlikely to make a measurable effect on global temperatures." He contended that natural environmental factors rather than human emissions drive climate change.
The discussion also included electric vehicles (EVs), which he described as falling short of projections, particularly in Europe and China. Goreham claimed, "EV pickup trucks have been a failure... [they're] only 1% share of the US auto market." He also highlighted challenges in the EV industry as sales have declined and tax incentives have been threatened under Trump's new policies.
Goreham then warned of the risks associated with lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles. "We have a worldwide lithium fire epidemic," he said. He pointed out various incidents of battery fires. "The biggest source of fires in New York City right now? E-bike battery fires," he stated.
Goreham predicts a shift towards natural gas as demand for electricity escalates due to emerging technologies, such as AI. He noted that "data centers are projected to use 20% of all electrical power in the country" within the next decade, and foresees this rise in demand hindering the Green Movement's goal of phasing out coal and gas plants.

In the second half, Christopher Macklin, PhD, explored the dangers of emerging artificial intelligence. Overall, Macklin is skeptical of AI and sees the technology as ethically flawed. "I've got a lot of red flags with AI... I certainly don't want a chip sewn in my brain," he stated. He highlighted concerns over the tech's ability to adapt and learn from the internet, and questioned the intentions of its creators. "It depends who wrote it and who's training it," he shared.
Macklin then moved onto the topic of CRISPR technology, explaining its role in altering genetics and the associated health risks. He warned that such modifications, covertly controlled by AI, could lead to a disconnection between the soul and body. "What happens is the DNA is altered, and then the DNA and the soul is not compatible in the body," he revealed.
He also claimed this could lead to various health crises. "Lyme disease [and other diseases]... they were actually designed," Macklin said. "I think they want to overtake the body with these particles, which are small—10 to the minus 9—AI bots."
Macklin urged listeners to awaken to their own power in a world rife with manipulation. "The power's within us, it's not within politicians and religious people," he asserted. He made an impassioned plea for self-awareness, saying that humanity must reclaim its sovereignty while facing unprecedented technological and biological challenges.
