Steve Gruber, A wry prediction made by Gruber a decade ago- may be coming to fruition

Hour 1—The Daily Big 3—

 

Live from Studio G—in the heart of what’s left of this great country—I’m Steve Gruber, fighting for you every day from the foxhole of freedom to defend what freedoms we have left—Thank you for being here—this is the Steve Gruber Show—

 

AND Here are 3 big things you need to know this hour—

 

Number One— Credit card debt has just set a brand-new record with another $50 Billion dollars added to the plastic—come on folks, slow down!

 

Number Two— Is Tucker Carlson going to get sanctioned by the European Union for doing his job? Well, without question there are many that want him hit with a travel ban and more for interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin—Barbara Walters got an Emmy for doing the same thing—

 

Number Three— Ten years ago I wrote a column discussing the things that we would no longer have today and, in the years to come—yesterday I discussed a host of those things—BUT one thing on my list from a decade ago was campfires—and I wrote this somewhat tongue in cheek—but that wry prediction is now close at hand—

 

As if on cue Wednesday—the Biden Administration and one of its chief Climate Nazi’s, EPA Director Michael Regan—actually put out a rule that will in fact, outlaw campfires! 

 

Not right away—BUT as they say—the die has been cast and the burning of wood at all will be systematically outlawed in the years to come—because burning wood creates, well you know, smoke—and smoke should be illegal—because smoke creates soot and soot is dirty—

 

If you think I’m joking—I’m not—

 

Sadly, the new rule on particulate matter will also have devastating effects on manufacturing and energy production in America and other Western nations and could lead to hundreds of thousands of people losing their jobs—BUT that’s not important to the Climate Change zombies—

 

They think we must end everything, including people breathing—or else we will die!

 

Yeah, let that sink in for a minute!

 

So, the rule is this—the EPA is lowering the amount of fine particulate matter that can be allowed into the air—and the new devastating rule reduces the amount from 12 micrograms per cubic meter to 9—and this may all sound very scientific—BUT actually its not—and in fact studies in recent years found that such a reduction would have no real effect on air quality or the quality of life for those of us still hanging out up here on the surface of the planet—

 

By comparison—China and India both have a standard of 35 micrograms per cubic meter—which today is 3 times higher than what is allowed here—and soon it will be 4 times higher than what we are allowed to have here—

 

The EPA says this will create a cleaner America that will “thrive” because this rule will make manufacturing cleaner and make workers safer— and the EPA claims it will prevent over 4,000 premature deaths—BUT offered ZERO proof to back that up—BUT 4,000 people in a nation of 350 million is not exactly a crisis level— by comparison this year almost 50,000 people will die from accidental falls—if the EPA would just outlaw gravity we could dramatically reduce this horrible phenomenon from occurring—ladders alone account for almost 150,000 ER visits a year—I think we should impose ladder control measures and only allow licenses operators to use ladders at all—

 

Anyway, I digress, and could also point out that if the EPA were serious about lowering deaths from polluted air they can the bold step of outlawing smoking and cigarettes that are still responsible for 500,000 deaths in this country every year—

 

But lets be honest about this: they will never outlaw cigarettes or tobacco—there is simply too much money in it—taxes make the socialist world go around you know—So, smoke em if you got em—it’s the American way! 

 

BUT the truth is—when it comes to this new over reaching EPA rule—it’s a solution that is desperately in search of a problem—the air in America is cleaner today than at any time in your lifetime or mine—we are the cleanest greenest nation on earth—BUT they don’t really care about that—

 

Remember, this is not really about making the world a better place—just a better place to control you and keep an eye on you as well!

 

The National Association of Manufacturers and the American Petroleum Institute warned the EPA in September that such a rule would be a wrecking ball for hundreds of thousands of jobs—

 

A study by Oxford economics last year suggested in addition to putting close to a million American jobs at risk—many of those union jobs that Joe Biden pretends to care so much about—It will also mean up to $200 Billion dollars in LOST economic activity—

 

Brilliant!

 

Oh, and try this on for size—The US Chamber of Commerce says if they remain stubborn and force this rule onto the United States—569 counties would be out of compliance immediately—

 

I don’t know about you—BUT I don’t know where those counties will be able to fix that and make up the money that they should be spending on supporting illegal aliens on your tax dollars—

 

I mean what are these people thinking? 

 

And here is the real zinger; The US Chamber added this juicy morsel to the mix; “Compliance with the new standard will be very difficult”

 

Why you ask? Well because, 84%-- the vast majority of this evil particulate matter comes from non-industrial sources—the two biggest contributors are wildfires and road dust—

 

That’s right—wildfires and road dust—and this is where we begin to see your right to a campfire flickering out—

 

I mean how could you live with yourself with all that gooey marshmallowy and chocolate smeared on your face with graham cracker crumbs scattered on your shirt with a glazed look in your eye?

 

I can hear the Green Police now, “Sir please step away from the S’Mores—you are in violation of Ordinance 2724-19-84—and this is serious, Sir, please pick up your cricket paste sandwich and come with me!”

 

This is just the latest on a list of short sighted regulations that are destroying this country—and our ability to do anything—

 

Because if wildfires are illegal, then burning wood in your fireplace is illegal. If you have one of those wonderful outdoor wood burners that heats your house—those will be out too—or a wood stove of any kind, they will all be illegal very soon—

 

It makes me wonder if they are measuring everything we do—and of course the answer is yes—

 

So, as you think about that gooey smore stuck in your teeth and your shirt stinking of the campfire smoke that follows you no matter which way you go—I want you to think about how they are measuring you as they track your every move on your devices—

 

It's all about your carbon footprint of course—and it seems pretty clear that if its something fun—it’s a target—

 

So I got to thinking what should we be measuring?

 

I mean how big is the carbon footprint of a kids birthday party? I mean the cake alone has animal products, and other stuff from the evil farms and farmers— and worse it uses some sort of petroleum products for candles—that produce that particulate infused smoke!

 

What about a baseball game? What kind of carbon footprint does that create—and football should be banned anyway because it showcases toxic masculinity—PLUS those tailgate parties where they celebrate roasting animal flesh on open flames while gulping down alcohol from sinful Red Solo cups—

 

Oh God, the humanity—but ignore that—the globalists and the environmental justice warriors don’t actually believe in God or in what they are saying—I mean how could they—they are furiously smashing out dictums and edicts and memes to the eager masses on Tik Tok and Instagram like the raging keyboard warriors they are—

 

You know, slamming the evils of capitalism, America, big oil and big pharma—all on their Mac Book Pro while gulping down Xanax because they are just too stressed out to deal—

 

You know to deal with facts like; every modern electronic device they hold so dear—is made from petroleum products and plastic created by the biggest free enterprise companies in the world—or in many cases the biggest monopolies in the world— They claim to be social justice warriors that embrace socialism—BUT in all honesty, they will be the first to wilt if that kind of tyranny ever does come to pass—they are simply no capable of dealing with anything adverse—they are going to be in real trouble when that echo chamber stops echoing—

 

But again, I digress—

 

The next big thing to happen—and the only real chance we have right now—is a broad based ruling by the United States Supreme Court that will reel in all of these out of control power hungry agencies that are running wild over your rights and mine—

 

The Chevron Doctrine must be tossed—or we are done as a country—The high court has shown it is willing to put an end to this nonsense and has in a couple of cases—BUT the whole idea that agencies can act as if they are Congress must end—

 

Regulation without Representation is ruining this country—when agencies have the power to impose rules, that are actually laws—and our elected representatives have no input whatsoever—that is wrong—

 

The EPA, IRS, FCC, SEC and so on and so forth have to be stopped and if we can do that—we can also stop much of this globalist agenda in its tracks—

 

The case to watch involves the National Marines Fisheries Service and fisherman on the East Coast being required to pay as much as $800 a day for a federal agent to stand on their boats while they are working—to determine if they are following the laws pertaining to commercial fishing—

 

And the real problem with the Chevron Doctrine is that every time there is a new administration there is a massive shock to the system because new rules will get implemented in such things as securities law, communications law and of course the big favorite right now, environmental law—

 

I am optimistic based on the tenor of the oral arguments last month that the high court is finally ready to set aside this 1984 travesty—and make Congress do its job again—

 

If not—you’d better get the wood piled up for one last campfire and one last S’More before you get smacked in the face by a cold dead fish—and a terrible decision!
