BILL ACKMAN DROPPED THE GAUNTLET AT THE FEET OF DISNEY CEO BOB IGER:

Dear Bob,

I assume that you have been made aware of this affidavit which was made public earlier today in which a whistleblower states that
@ABC worked closely with the @KamalaHarris campaign in sharing the substance of the questions, avoiding certain topics, agreeing on the staging, committing to fact check @realDonaldTrump and not Harris, and more disturbing details.

I find the allegations credible as written and also because the affidavit was apparently made and filed the day prior to the debate and makes mention of Harris’ smaller podium and other details that only became public thereafter.

While I can’t determine the veracity of the allegations, they do match substantively what took place during the debate. The moderators of the debate — @DavidMuir and @LinseyDavis — have yet to respond to the allegations. Since they have not yet done so, one must draw a negative inference.

In light of the seriousness of the allegations and the implications for this presidential election and for ABC’s reputation and thereby
@Disney’s and the office of the CEO, I strongly encourage you to launch an immediate investigation of this matter.

Our democracy depends on transparency, particularly with regard to events which can impact the outcome of the presidential election.

I ask on behalf of all voters that you treat these allegations with the seriousness they deserve.

Thank you.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: The FBI Really Needs to Overhaul Its Radar. “Typically, we would be blaming Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray for the FBI’s failings, but this problem predates Joe Biden’s weaponized regime by many years. Then again, one has to wonder if Routh would have been easier for the FBI to notice if he had been at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

THE CALIFORNICATION OF COLORADO CONTINUES APACE: Warning signs of failure for Colorado’s energy policy.

Now in his second term, Governor Jared Polis and the Colorado legislature are moving ahead with Polis’s “bold idea.” None of them will be in office when Coloradans feel the full impact.

Let’s start with cost. During the 2018 gubernatorial campaign, no one challenged Polis or Johnston about the cost of shutting down Colorado’s baseload coal and natural gas and replacing it with wind, solar, and batteries. But, the Independence Institute did in 2017, 2019, and 2023, which includes Polis’s wish list of electrifying home heating and transportation. The Institute’s analysis finds every Coloradan will pay over $115,000 (more than $460,00 for a family of four) for weather-dependent resources to power the state.

Remember, supporters of a 100 percent renewable-powered Colorado said it would save ratepayers money. Our current utility bills and analysis say otherwise.

With no fanfare, the Colorado Energy Office (CEO) issued a warning sign when it released its Ascend Analytics report earlier this year. The results are damning: The wind, solar, and battery-only scenario “requires the largest buildout of capacity at over 69,000 MW installed in 2040 and barely meets reliability targets.” With a $61 billion price tag, “it is also the most expensive scenario.”

Readers need to add billions of dollars more for the transmission lines Ascend failed to include, and it’s still a lowball price.

Ascend and the CEO’s suggested solution? “Clean hydrogen,” meaning hydrogen made from the same expensive wind and solar that is supposed to power our homes and businesses, which, at $51.6 billion, the CEO calls the “cheapest way to decarbonize.” According to the Independence Institute’s hydrogen issue brief, this figure doesn’t include infrastructure costs that could skyrocket to over $70,000 per natural gas customer. Building new wind, solar, and batteries isn’t cheaper (See Figure 1).

This forced march will bankrupt the state.

Yes, but all the correct palms will have been thoroughly greased and if the poors have to endure brownouts, that’s even better.
