Hello, ladies. Hello, gentlemen. This is the Victor Davis Hansen show. I am Jack Fowler, the host, the star named, say, that's Victor Davis Hansen. He is the Martin Ely Anderson senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and the Wayne and Marsha Busky Distinguished Fellow in history.

At Hillsdale College, where he is about to head off to for a week or so, that great institution. Victor has a website, the blade of Perseus. It's web addresses Victor Hansen dot com. I'll tell you a little more about that later in this podcast.

Podcast Victor, some interesting things to talk about. And one would seem mundane, ceiling fans, but guess what, like everything else in your home, it's something that the Biden administration wants to regulate.

And it be speaks a larger theology of green. And we'll get your thoughts on that. Plus another bunch of other interesting topics. And one of them is about, I shouldn't call it interesting, troubling. It's gold star families. I rate still about how Joe Biden has treated the families of the 13 men and women who were killed in Afghanistan and a botched pull out their fury.

With the bottom with President Biden himself and the administration will get your thoughts on these matters, Victor, right after these initial important messages.

We're back with the Victor Davis Hansen show. So Victor, here's a headline. This is from Fox News Biden administration's latest home appliance crackdown ceiling fans. And now the target in the Biden administration's green agenda, the Department of Energy and reading from an article here is proposing a rule that would require ceiling fans to be more energy efficient arguing the move would save US households on energy costs.

How much Victor, while they calculate $39 over the lifespan of the new quote unquote energy efficient fan. However, the cost to manufacturers associated with the increased equipment will total 86.6 million dollars per year. That has consequences, Victor, quoting now.

From from the Republican members of Congress wrote a letter to energy secretary Jennifer Grandholm said, quote, this rule would require numerous small business fan manufacturers to redesign their products and may put between 10 and 30% of small business ceiling fan manufacturers out of this.

Who cares about them anyway, Victor, right? There is a God to worship.

Also, and even raised this factor, we just discussed this before coming on line speaking of fans, the big ones, the big windmills, first cousins or the big brothers of ceiling fans, the queasy arts of the sky that shop up all the goals and all other protected species.

Also, there's a piece by Michael Schellenberger in the New York Post that's out today, August 27th about the wind, wind farms in water and how they seem to be having a deleterious effect, deadly effect on whales.

A lot of whales are now beaching themselves, whales were the things we were supposed to save, bald eagles were the things we were supposed to you can even have a bald eagle feather Victor, Victor Victor.

And yeah, that's a good thing.

Remember, we had some illegal aliens that killed bald eagles and then we were confronted with an intersectionality existential crisis.

Every once in a while, Jack, if you see these charts that people draw, it's kind of mocking the whole left, but they have a hierarchy of whether you're gay, green, black, brown, friends, feminist, how many points you get and then which one crawls.

It's kind of like, remember in civic class, they had the Congress, the Supreme Court, the executive branch with all the checks and balances that you could check each other.

Well, it was like which one can check the other one or hop leapfrog over the one on the intersectionality chart.

I don't know the answer to that.

I think trans now, I think if you're a trans polluter, it's okay.

Whereas it's gone above green, but I do think that green is above gayness, race, and almost anything else because remember the two illegal aliens killed bald eagles and they they didn't do anything to them.

But so maybe illegal aliens are up.

I guess it's trans illegal aliens and then green and then maybe I don't know black and then gay and then Latino and then Asian and then white and then unmarried.
