[cheers and applause] rachel: heading to a fox news alert, blackout pages of the affidavit used to search mar-a-lago have been released. will: some details we knew but also a whole lot more questions. kevin is live in washington with more. reporter: a lot of questions. let s be clear, last night we said with good reason that the affidavit would be heavily redacted and present uncorroborated allegations presented in such a way as to frame the argument the former president was up to something by having those documents at mar-a-lago and we got a look at the affidavit and there s not a ton of detail because as you said it is really read acted heavily. half the pages were read acted. a lot of sharpy. the fbi believed there might be evidence of obstruction, the criminal investigation began after the national archives sent a referral to the doj in february. president biden insists he is not sure if the former president had the right to declassify all the materials at his home.
children over about an hour? where was law enforcement? those are just fair questions, though they are. they are essential questions. if you want to prevent similar atrocities, you need details, you ve got to find out what exact we happened. if this is a well-known concept. every time a commercial airliner crashes in this country federal investigators painstakingly recruit the final moments of the flight. not because they are ghoulish. want to know what caused it. if and that s the main reason that air travel is so safe. after action reports work. yet somehow our leaders rarely respond as rationally to violent crime, almost never. a mass shooting is just too tempting a moment for them to demagogue. at the public is often grieving and then shock, so it s the perfect moment for the usual opportunists to leap forward and cast blame on the political opponents, to seize all the power they can while the country is too traumatized to notice. if you almost hear anyone in washington a
blackouts, a grid that s sh shut down? will, these problems are connected and the reason why so many million americans are behind on electric city payments and they re going up by more than the rate of inflation only part of it with the russian prices of ukraine and soaring prior to ukraine and because of biden s energy transition and they re imposing higher costs on the fossil fuel industry and makes it more difficult and expensive to take oil and gas out of the ground here in america. that s number one, number two the other thing that s happening is the more wind and solar you get on the grid, the more expensive the grid gets because you need more expensive backup supplies to be standing around for when it s not windy and it s not summer. huge battery farms and gas plants that remain idle for the day and operate for a few hours
chuck, this is one of those slow-motion car crashes that we ve been sort of watching for years now. they told us that we are going to transition to green energy, it was going to be great, we re going to save the planet. it doesn t work. why isn t anyone in authority acting to stop this before it happens? well, because, tucker, the pain hasn t hit yet. the pain is only beginning to hit now in the case of prices. what you find in germany and across the united states is in states that have more periodic renewables, more wind and solar, the costs are higher. and why are they higher? well, they are higher because the grid has to be on all the time and for it to be on all the time, the more wind and solar you have, you have to either create hugely expensive massive utility scale battery farms, or you pay reliable hydrocarbon powered power plants to stand around on standby for when they are needed. and that takes money.
