As Biden mumbles through the last days of his administration, Tom and Mike try to make sense of it all. The latest episode of The Unregulated Podcast is now streaming on our website, or wherever you enjoy fine podcasts.

"To truly regain trust with American consumers, these banks must demonstrate a renewed commitment to their fiduciary duties to shareholders and depositors. Loans and investments should be made in pursuit of maximizing value rather than forging virtue-signaling global alliances with others’ resources."

– Paul Teller,
Advancing American Freedom

If anyone on Team Trump is looking for a Day One to-do list, here's a good place to start.

American Spectator (1/16/24) reports: "Before leaving office next week, the acerbic, old man in the White House made certain to deliver a parting shot against American energy consumers who rejected his policies at the ballot box. The outgoing president’s executive order banning offshore oil drilling fits into a larger continuum of climate initiatives dating back to January 2021. That was when the Biden administration instituted its 'whole-of-government approach' devoted to combatting what it views as a 'climate crisis.' President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to restore 'America First' energy policies that were in place during his first term. Some of this can be done through executive actions, but, in some cases, Trump will need congressional help...The American Energy Alliance, a nonprofit group that advocates for free market energy policies, has a running list of all the ways Biden and the Democrats have made it harder for the U.S. to produce oil and gas all in the name of climate change. That list is now up to 225 and begins with Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline, which would have transported oil resources from safe and reliable sources in Canada across western U.S. states and into Texas. One of the most recent items on the list dates back to March last year when Biden announced a strategy to ‘decarbonize’ America’s freight truck fleet.' The fleet plays a critical role in domestic oil and gas production — both by transporting products to consumers and by moving industrial machinery to refineries. This is one area where Trump can easily reverse course and make certain that reliable freighters remain in motion."

The adults are back in charge.

Next week is looking pretty busy

Business Insider (1/16/25) reports: "President-elect Donald Trump is expected to make a big push for fossil fuels on January 20 through a series of executive orders aimed at boosting US oil and gas production and rolling back the Biden administration's climate rules. On the first day of his second term, Trump could direct federal agencies to approve new terminals to export liquified natural gas (LNG) and start unwinding restrictions on oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters, several fossil fuel industry lobbying groups helping shape Trump's energy agenda said...Trump can direct the Energy Department to start approving new permits for LNG terminals immediately via executive order, said Kenny Stein, vice president for policy at the American Energy Alliance, a conservative group advising Trump's energy agenda. The move would end a temporary pause the Biden administration instituted in January 2024 so the Energy Department could study the impacts of more LNG exports on the economy, national security, and the climate crisis."
