Show Notes
The Trump administration has granted a controversial exemption to oil and gas companies, allowing them to bypass protections for the critically endangered Rices whales in the Gulf of Mexico. This move, approved unanimously by the God Squad, a group of top officials including Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, marks the first time the national security clause has been invoked for such a purpose. The decision, which has been met with protests and legal challenges from environmental groups, has been criticized for prioritizing energy production over wildlife conservation, and for potentially threatening the survival of the already fragile whale population.
