1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: Welcome in his verdict with Ted Cruz, we can review 2 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: Ben Ferguson with you. And here are some big stories 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,480 Speaker 1: that you may have missed that we talked about this week. 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: First off, Mandani and Gavin Newsom. They're marketing Marxism and 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: socialism to the American voter like never before. Will there 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: be backlash. We're going to break that down for you. Also, 7 00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: Center Cruse and I set down with an incredible leader 8 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: to talk about Christian abuse in Nigeria and why the 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: media isn't covering this story but we are here and 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,479 Speaker 1: it's important. And finally Bill Gates reversing course on global warming. 11 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,520 Speaker 1: So how much money was made off of selling you 12 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:42,960 Speaker 1: on the big scam? It's the week in Review and 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: it starts right now. 14 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: Did you hear Gavin Newsom on the podcast discussing his rough, 15 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 2: hard scrabble life eating wonderbread growing up in the hood, 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: because you know, Gavin was an oppressed youth. 17 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 1: Did you see that it was almost as oppress as 18 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: he was during the COVID lockdowns when he was the 19 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,559 Speaker 1: only one allowed to have dinner with his friends without 20 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: mass on. 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 2: You know, Look, to be clear, Gavin Newsom is California Royalties, 22 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: fourth or fifth generation California old Money. His daddy was 23 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 2: one of the lead lawyers for the Getty billionaire fortune. 24 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,040 Speaker 2: He grew up, he was featured in the San Francisco 25 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: Paper in an article entitled growing Up Rich. And to 26 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 2: be clear, he started a winery with the Getty millions 27 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 2: billions actually but millions from them. Started a winery at 28 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 2: age twenty five. Now, Benjamin, let me ask you, did 29 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: you start a winery at h twenty five? No? 30 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: Well, I felt like I worked really hard, but I 31 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 1: promise you it was not a winery at twenty five. 32 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 2: And look, it's okay. I don't fault Gavin for the 33 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: success of his parents, or his grandparents or his great 34 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: great grandparents. And it's amazing how many leftists were raised 35 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: with silver spoons and inserted just about any place you 36 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: can insert a spoon. But when he pretends like he's 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 2: on this this NBA podcast and he's talking about, oh, 38 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: I just had to support myself. I had to support 39 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: myself playing ball, like what a load, what a croc? 40 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: And it's pathological Newsom is running a different scam than 41 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 2: Mandanni is, but it's the same scam. It is marketing Marxism, socialism, 42 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: confiscatory government power and trying to make it. I will 43 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: say this, I'm gonna compliment right now both Comrade Mondani 44 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: and Gavin Newsom they got great smiles. I mean, to 45 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: be honest, every dentist in America must be like, look 46 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: at those pearly whitesors smile like it. And you know, 47 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: I got to say and I'll say this as as 48 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: a Cuban American whose family you know, fled Cuba, it 49 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: really feels better if you're a dissident being lined up 50 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: from the firing squad, if you know that the communist 51 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 2: ordering your death or smiling like it really makes it 52 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 2: less painful as you're sent to the gulag. To know 53 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 2: it's a good looking tyrant who is sending me to 54 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: the Gulag, But sadly that's where we are. And can 55 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 2: I ask you one more question on this topic? Sure, 56 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: is there is there a single sane Democrat who is 57 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: calling out Comrade Mom, Donnie or Gavin Douso on these issues. 58 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: No, because they created these crazies and they allowed them 59 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: to fester in their party and they literally didn't police 60 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: their party. So this is the Democratic Party now and 61 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: their leaders are not Democrats. They are commies, they are socialists, 62 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: they are Marxists. Just look around the country. This is 63 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: who they are. 64 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, the elected members of the Democrat Party, particularly 65 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: on the national scene, they're scared. They're scared of the mob. 66 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: They're scared of the angry left wing radicals with torches 67 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: and pitchforks. We saw this at the No King's rally, 68 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: where they're terrified. We're in the middle, we're in day 69 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 2: twenty seven of the Schumer shutdown, because they're terrified of 70 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 2: the mob, and so elected Democrats are terrified. But again, listen, 71 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 2: we endeavor on this podcast to try to be real, 72 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,080 Speaker 2: to try to have facts, to try not to engage 73 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: in just empty partisan rhetoric. So maybe you might say, 74 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: all right, Cruz Ferguson that they're not the most impartial, 75 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: unbiased observers if you're not inclined to listen to us, 76 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: Although I will say, if you've made it twenty nine 77 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 2: minutes into this podcast and you're not inclined to listen 78 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: to us, wow, you've got some endurance. Bravos of you, 79 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 2: But indulge in indulge the setup. Nonetheless, if you're not 80 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: inclined to listen to us, perhaps you would be inclined 81 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 2: to listen to Bill Maher. Bill Maher is a liberal, 82 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: he is a Democrat. He's been a liberal and his 83 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: democrat a Democrat his whole life. Listen to what Bill 84 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 2: Maher had to say, the warning to Democrats he had 85 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: to say about comrade Mundani. 86 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,720 Speaker 3: The Democrats, let's face it, they're kind of split. Now 87 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 3: there's the far left version that did not do too 88 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: well in recent elections, and then people like the governors 89 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 3: say we've got to come back to the middle, common sense, 90 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 3: And whenever this discussion comes up, this is what you 91 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 3: hear a lot. We need a sister soldier moment a 92 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 3: time when some issue with the Democrat says, look, I'm 93 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 3: not with the far left, and this is how you 94 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 3: know you can trust me that I'm not. I think 95 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: I have the issue, okay, and it's the mayor's race 96 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: in New York. I think he seems like a sweet guy, 97 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 3: mum donni. But I would just like to say, because 98 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 3: the election is in a couple of weeks, this is 99 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 3: not just New York that's on the ballot. I think 100 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 3: the whole demokrat credit in the country is on the ballot, 101 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 3: and the whole country would be looking at this race 102 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 3: to see which way are the Democrats going to go. No, 103 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 3: Andrew Cuomo may not be that exciting and that inspirational, 104 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 3: but you know, for a party that said we want 105 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: to get back to normal, he's kind of normal. 106 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 4: I mean, what, well, he's done some things in his history. 107 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 3: That well, we did a deep dive on that because 108 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: we had him on the show. A lot of it 109 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: is kind of bulls. I mean maybe he was a 110 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 3: little too handsy, a little too Italian, Uh, a little 111 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 3: too touchy. You know, he did not to Italian, that's 112 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: what he said. You know, yes, you know you did 113 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 3: not get the memo. 114 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: I mean it's when you're having to defend Cuomo to 115 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 1: try to save your party, you're not in a good place. 116 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: Well, but Bill Maher, and let's be clear, Bill Maher 117 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,800 Speaker 2: did not vote for Donald Trump. Bill Maher would not 118 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: vote for me. He is a liberal, he is a Democrat. 119 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 2: But Bill Maher every day makes more and more sense 120 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 2: because his party has gone so batcrap crazy that he 121 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: believes in things like free speech, he believes in things 122 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: like not supporting a communist government that seizes private property 123 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: and the means of production in society. He doesn't want 124 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 2: to support Hamas terrorists and other jahatists that used to 125 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 2: be mainstream, that used to be all of those propositions 126 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: were things. It used to be the case that Republicans 127 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: and Democrats came together. Look Bill Clinton. When Bill Clinton 128 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 2: was president, neither you nor I supported Bill Clinton. We 129 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 2: did not vote for Bill Clinton. But you know what 130 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: the Bill Clinton election when he was elected, it was 131 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: not the fate of Western civilization. It was not do 132 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: we elect a communist jihadist. I would have rather a 133 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 2: Republican be elected. But the world didn't end when Bill 134 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: Clinton got elected. Bill Clinton's views. If you took a 135 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: candidate with the identical policy views of Bill Clinton and 136 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 2: ran him today, they would tar and feather him and 137 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 2: drive him out of the Democrat Party. He would be 138 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: completely an. 139 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: Entirely as president. 140 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: He would not get elected. He probably wouldn't get elected 141 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: as a Democrat dogcatcher because they have radicalized and they 142 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 2: instead want someone like Comrade Monami, whose party says release 143 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: the terrorists, who murders Jews because they're Jews. That's where 144 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,079 Speaker 2: their radical base is. And and you know some of 145 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: y'all may not may not know what a sister Soldier 146 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 2: moment is. And and sister Soldier actually refers to Bill Clinton. 147 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: When Bill Clinton was running for president, Sister Soldier was 148 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: was this rapper and and and Bill Clinton denounced her 149 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 2: in the middle of the primary, and it was viewed 150 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: as as a brave moment of sort of taking on 151 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 2: his base. But it demonstrated to the voters, or it 152 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 2: was perceived to demonstrate to the voter that he was 153 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: reasonable and rational and not a crazy nutcase. And it 154 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 2: is an interesting question. Is there even one national Democrat? 155 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 2: By the way, Gavin Newsom wants to be elected president, 156 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 2: can he denounce Mundami? Jamie Pritzker wants to be elected president? 157 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: Can he do it? Corey Booker wants to, Chris Murphy 158 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 2: wants to. None of them are going to because look, 159 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: John Fetterman has been critical. But John Fetterman, I think 160 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party is being quite explicit that they're going 161 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 2: to do everything they can to drive him out of 162 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 2: the Democrat Party, just like they would Bill Clinton if 163 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 2: he were there. But I don't know a Democrat, And interestingly, 164 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: one ambitious Democrat is there? Nobody looking around Andy Basher, 165 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 2: who's pretending he's a moderate in Kentucky. Josh Shapiro, who 166 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 2: has got to be horrified at what Mondami's saying. Has 167 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 2: he said a word crickets? Crickets, crickets? There is not one, 168 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: and maybe that will change. But I fear not just 169 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 2: for the state of the Democrat Party, but I fear 170 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: for the future of our republic. I think we do 171 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 2: better when we have two political parties that are reasonable 172 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 2: and rational and have some meaningful disagreements than we do 173 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: with one party that is utterly whack job and trying 174 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: to destroy America. Look, we've seen through history it is 175 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 2: a pendulum, and it goes from one party to the other. 176 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 2: There will come a time when these lunatics are a 177 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 2: charge of the country again, and they've gotten so extreme 178 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: that I really shudder and fear for our great nation. 179 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, 180 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: you can go back and listen to the full podcast 181 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two. 182 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 2: Now, Nowijan tell us what's happening in Nigeria. And as 183 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 2: you know, I've been very vocal calling out the mass 184 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 2: murder of Christians over fifty thousand Christians have been ordered 185 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 2: in Nigeria. Since two thousand and nine, over twenty thousand 186 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: churches and schools have been destroyed, burned to the ground. 187 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: And you have Boko Haram and other radical Islamic terrorist 188 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 2: groups that are targeting and persecuting Christians in particular. And 189 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: I will tell you the government of Nigeria is very 190 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 2: unhappy with me. They have decried my saying this. I 191 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 2: have introduced legislation to designate them a country a special 192 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 2: concern And the government in Nigeria is very unhappy. And 193 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: I've said, look that there are far too many government 194 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 2: leaders who have turned a blind eyed to what is happening, 195 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,599 Speaker 2: who have acquiesced in what is happening, who are enforcing 196 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: either Sharia laws or blasphemy laws and facilitating the persecution 197 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 2: of Christians. And as I said, the Nigerian government has 198 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,440 Speaker 2: been vigorously resisting me in this. Give me your judgment. 199 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 2: What do you see happening in Nigeria and what do 200 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: you think is actually the truth. 201 00:11:56,559 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 4: Nigeria is the most important African country, largest population, and 202 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 4: obviously there's a vying for control between on the one hand, 203 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 4: the Islamic states of Nigeria and the Christian States of Nigeria, 204 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 4: and it used to be about fifty to fifty. But 205 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 4: because the Islamist movement Bokoharam and others, they want to 206 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 4: apply force that Ji had his force. It's sort of 207 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 4: gruesome killing that we've seen in October seven, twenty twenty 208 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 4: three in Israel. So what is going on in Nigeria. 209 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 4: The Islamists in Nigeria are killing Christians, They're burning their churches, 210 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 4: they're raping their women, they are invoking blasphemilos. So in 211 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: the southern regions of Nigeria, Sharia law is the law. 212 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 4: And if you say Taed Cruz has you know he 213 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 4: said something bad against Islam, you can have a mob 214 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 4: come and lynch you and there's nothing you can do 215 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 4: about it. But then the government, it should be doing 216 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 4: something about it. And the government isn't doing anything about it. Now, 217 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 4: what is the characteristic of the government of Nigeria. It's corrupt. 218 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 4: The elites in Nigeria, whether they're Muslim or whether they're Christian, 219 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 4: they're in this bubble, and I think that bubble has 220 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 4: to be burist in a comfort bubble. I don't really 221 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 4: think that they care about that much about or are 222 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 4: hell responsible or accountable or transparent for what is going 223 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 4: on with a large majority of the Nigerian population. And 224 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 4: that's what you see. And we give a lot of 225 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 4: money as the United States and legitimacy to this government. 226 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 4: We've got to hold them accountable. And I couldn't be 227 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 4: more pleased that you are involved in this, Senator Cruz. 228 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 4: You're calling them out and you're going to say, if 229 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 4: you want to be our Allian, our friend, we need 230 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 4: you to uphold your end of being a responsible and 231 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 4: responsive government. There's a goal. 232 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 2: There are more Christians being murdered in Nigeria than in 233 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: any country on planet Earth. One thing you said that 234 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 2: I thought was interesting and I think many of our 235 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: listeners will not have heard this before. You said in 236 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,400 Speaker 2: your judgment, Nigeria is the most important African country. To 237 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 2: tell our listeners why that is because many will will 238 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: not have a deep familiarity with that. 239 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 4: It has the largest population, it has oil resources, the 240 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 4: population is very young, it's English speaking, highly educated. Let 241 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 4: me just give you an example. Kemi baranoch I hope 242 00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 4: the future Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is from 243 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 4: Nigeria and is Christian. So if we were if you know, 244 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 4: in our relationship with right now Prussia, China, et cetera. 245 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 4: I think the continent as a whole, the continent of Africa, 246 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 4: which is home to over a billion people. 247 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 2: Yes, and growing a young population that is growing. 248 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 4: It's the youngest population and it's the only population on 249 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 4: planet art that is growing as happy as it's doing right. 250 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 4: And so Nigeria is strategically important. Nigeria is a sort 251 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 4: of country that should be our ally and there is 252 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 4: a huge Christian population that means they share norms and 253 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: values with us, and we should not be abandoning Nigeria. 254 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 4: And so the population is pro American, but then they 255 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 4: are let down by their government. And I think that 256 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: can change if we were even to bring a little 257 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 4: bit of leverage down on them, because we have that leverage. 258 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 5: When you say a little bit of leverage, what do 259 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 5: you mean, like, what would the leverage look like that 260 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 5: you think could could literally save lives, especially Christian lives 261 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 5: and Nigeria who are being attacked right now. 262 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 4: Well, it starts from the amounts of Development aid money 263 00:15:54,520 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 4: that we give them. We could apply sanctions we I 264 00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:05,479 Speaker 4: mean we. 265 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: Well, in my legislation with sanctions particular government officials, so 266 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: government officials at the local level who are engaged in 267 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 2: facilitating and acquiescing in this persecution. And so it's designed 268 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 2: to use the power of the US economy and US 269 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 2: sanctions to incentivize different behavior. 270 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 4: Absolutely and incentivized, as legitimates, is really important for them 271 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 4: to keep their money in America to you know, all 272 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 4: of these the private jets they come and they play 273 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 4: in America and American allies even when they play in Europe. 274 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,720 Speaker 4: I think we have a say over that, but I 275 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 4: don't want to go into the details of that, but 276 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 4: I think we can leverage our influence to make the 277 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 4: Nigerian government stop the violence immediately. They have shari a 278 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,480 Speaker 4: lot in the southern regions. We can and then we say, oh, 279 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 4: human rights is that and other where you have Sharia law, 280 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 4: you do not have human rights? Are you crazy? 281 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 2: Absolutely? Absolutely, And we need to stand up and we 282 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 2: need to fight vigorously to prevent it here in the 283 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: United States. Okay, final topic, and we're going to wrap 284 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: up in just a couple of minutes. But you were 285 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 2: born in Somalia, as you know. I've publicly called on 286 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: the Trump administration to recognize Somaliland as a separate and 287 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: independent nation. Tell our viewers what you think about that, 288 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 2: and if you think that makes sense, tell them why I. 289 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 4: Think we should reward Somali Land for what they have achieved. 290 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 4: They have been since nineteen six I mean the former 291 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 4: dictatorial government si Bar, they were massacred. They llewed into 292 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 4: becoming part of Somalia. They became part of Somalia and 293 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 4: they have come to live to regret it. But at 294 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 4: the moment, very quickly, they are the only viable nation state. 295 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 4: They have a homogeneous population, they speak one language, and 296 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 4: there is a narrative of national identity, of common suffering 297 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 4: but also common survival. You know, as a Somali, I 298 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 4: will tell you something I'm not. I'm an American, but 299 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,479 Speaker 4: born in Somali. I will say that one of the 300 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 4: things that we Smaris excel at is in vengeance. But 301 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 4: the leadership of Somaliland have decided after nineteen ninety one 302 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 4: that they are not going to channel the energy of 303 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 4: their population into vengeance but build into building. What is 304 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 4: a nation and they are economically violent. I think they 305 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 4: that may have oil and gas. I think that they 306 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 4: could be a strategic partner I admire. 307 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 2: And they want to stand with America. They are standing up. 308 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: It is in our national interest to Recognizeiland to have 309 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:57,000 Speaker 2: a major ally on the horn of Africa that is 310 00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 2: standing with us. That's significant. And look, I am someone 311 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: who is very much America first. We should be putting 312 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: American national security interest first and recognize as Somali Land 313 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 2: enhances those interests. 314 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 4: Absolutely, they are absolutely on the same page as as 315 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 4: they Also they've recognized Israel. They have defined they have 316 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 4: a defined territory, they have a permanent population, they issue passports. 317 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 4: But the most important thing is that they hold elections 318 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 4: one man, one vote for president, for parliament and local elections. 319 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 4: And you can come and survey those and see that 320 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 4: they are actually in some ways better than our American elections. 321 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 4: And so I think Somali Land should be rewarded for 322 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 4: the fact that they have built a nation. They do 323 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 4: not rely on development aid. They never relied on US. 324 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 2: Eight. 325 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, so please vibrate them from what is Somalia Mogadishi, 326 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 4: which is just a broken hiding place. 327 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 2: Well, Jan, thank you for taking the time, Thank you 328 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: for joining us. I think this has been a very 329 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 2: informative podcast. I think our listeners are really going to 330 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 2: get a lot out of it. Let me encourage our 331 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 2: listeners share this podcast if you want your friends, your 332 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: family to understand, understand the threat of political Islam, what 333 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 2: it means, what it's meant in Europe, what it means 334 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: here in America. I think it is an incredibly important topic. 335 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 2: It is a very real threat. It is a threat 336 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 2: that I am committed to combating. And one of the 337 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 2: purposes of this podcast is to equip you to give 338 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 2: you information that when you're talking with your friends and 339 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 2: families and colleagues and co workers, that you know the 340 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 2: truth and ayan I think this has been very, very 341 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: helpful to our listeners. So thank you so much for 342 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: joining us. 343 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: As before, If you want to hear the rest of 344 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: this conversation on this topic, you can go back and 345 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: dow the podcast from earlier this week to hear the 346 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: entire thing. I want to get back to the big 347 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: story number three of the week. You may have missed, 348 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: all right, So this one is just one of those 349 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: segments that I'm just going to enjoy Bill Gates as 350 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: a guy that was like the world's gonna end center 351 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: and we're all gonna you know die of heat and 352 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: global warming is real, and I'm investing in all these 353 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: projects and things, and the government should be doing the same. 354 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: And now he's like, all, right, screwed, it's not gonna happen. 355 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: It reminds me. I think it was Newsweek back in 356 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: the eighties where they said we're all going to freeze 357 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: to death from like arctic freezing of the entire globe. 358 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: That went away too, So they got it wrong in 359 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 1: the eighties. And now Bill Gates is admitting and Al Gore, 360 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 1: remember we were supposed to be dead like after ten years, 361 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: and that was like ten years ago when he made 362 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: his prediction that we're all going to die of global warming. 363 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: None of it's actually happened. And so now Bill Gates 364 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,360 Speaker 1: like a right, screw it. I was wrong, I guess. 365 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,199 Speaker 2: So it wasn't ten years, it was twelve years. And 366 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 2: for some reason for the apocalyptic left, the world is 367 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 2: always ending in twelve years. And that's been true for 368 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 2: about two decades now. They've been saying twelve years from now, 369 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 2: we're all going to die. Twelve years from now, we're 370 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,920 Speaker 2: all going to die. And I got to say Bill 371 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 2: Gates was willing to be as hysterical as Greta, the 372 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 2: European teenager who shut down the German economy because they 373 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: listened to a teenager and said, hey, why don't we 374 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 2: shut down all of our nuclear power plants? And then 375 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 2: they suddenly realized they couldn't power their country, and ironically enough, 376 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 2: instead they're now opening coal plants and polluting a lot 377 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: more so. The apocalypse the world is ending because of 378 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 2: climate change. Well, look, all right, don't necessarily believe me. 379 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 2: Let me just read what Bill Gates has done. So 380 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 2: this is from Daily Wire. Microsoft co founder Bill Gates 381 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 2: has done and about face on climate change alarmism recently, 382 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 2: saying that there are more pressing matters people should be 383 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,919 Speaker 2: worrying about instead. The seventy year old tech billionaire, who 384 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 2: has been an outspoken environmental activist for years, said as 385 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 2: much in a memo published Tuesday titled Three Tough Truths 386 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 2: about Climate It. Here's what he wrote. Climate change, disease, 387 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 2: and poverty are all major problems. We should deal with 388 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 2: them in proportion to the suffering they cause. The businessman 389 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 2: admitted that the Earth's temperature is not the most important 390 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 2: factor for improving life on the planet, and said the 391 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 2: quote doom'sday view of climate change is wrong. Let me 392 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 2: let me read that again. Bill Gates said the doom'sday 393 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 2: view of climate change is wrong. Here's what he wrote. Quote, 394 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 2: although climate change will have serious consequences, particularly for people 395 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 2: in the poorest countries, it will not lead to humanity's demise. 396 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 2: Shocking that, Bill Gates said that. And and and here 397 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: he goes on to say, quote what mean what does 398 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 2: that mean? 399 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: He can find his private jets now and like take 400 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:49,879 Speaker 1: a nap, not be like having to buy carbon credits 401 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: or get on his shot. I'm just confided, I want 402 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,719 Speaker 1: to be here. What does this free him up to do? 403 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 2: Oh no, no, the carbon credits scam is definitely still on. 404 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 2: But but but he's going to keep lying on his jets. 405 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 2: And remember, by the way, John Kerry the Zealot when 406 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: he discussed his private play and he said, you know, 407 00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 2: he flies private because he says, really, for someone like me, 408 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 2: it's the only reasonable way to travel. Yes, but likely 409 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,639 Speaker 2: the utter hypocrisy. But here's what Gates wrote. This is 410 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 2: a chance to refocus on the metrics that should count 411 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 2: even more than emissions and temperature change. Improving lives our 412 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 2: chief goal should be to prevent suffering, particularly for those 413 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 2: in the toughest conditions who live in the world's poorest countries. 414 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 2: And he added quote, although climate change will hurt poor 415 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: people more than anyone else, for the vast majority of them, 416 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 2: it will not be the only or even the biggest 417 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 2: threat to their welfare. And he wrote this seventeen page 418 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 2: analysis ahead of next months United Nations Climate Change Conference 419 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 2: in Brazil, hoping to shift funding away from climate initiatives 420 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 2: towards other endeavors that he now believes are more important. Look. 421 00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I'm not tired of winning. 422 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 2: I mean this is climate change was an ex. 423 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 1: So it's scam to make a bunch of money. Is 424 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: that what we can kind of get to here? It 425 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: was just about all of the money. 426 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 2: Money and power. There's a lot of money, a lot 427 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 2: of money, take power. Look look for for democrats. If 428 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 2: you are a socialist, if you are a communist, if 429 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 2: you are a comrade. Uh Mamdani, I assume he's a 430 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 2: climate change not I don't actually know that, but I 431 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 2: know he's a communist. And and and climate change was 432 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 2: the excuse for communists to seize control of our government 433 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 2: and and and that today's Democrat party, it was a 434 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 2: great we're all gonna die unless you let me, the 435 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 2: Democrat politician control the energy and business and your life 436 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 2: and and regulate every aspect of your life. The fact 437 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 2: that Bill Gates is making this change, it really shows 438 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 2: the momentum is moving and people are are are engaged 439 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 2: in just just common sense is coming back. 440 00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: Well, and not only common sense, but like you look 441 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: at these solar farms, they're like being dormited right now, 442 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: Like they're just shutting them down because they just can't work. 443 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: They're not working in the pollution that comes actually from 444 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: the turbines and all the other things they are actually saying, 445 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 1: it's like having a real negative effect on the environment. 446 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: Shocker there. And then we also found out that like 447 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 1: a pension fund in California lost like seventy plus percent 448 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: of the investment that they went in green alternative energy 449 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: that just came out, so like they screwed countless hardworking 450 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 1: even liberals in California with this crap. 451 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 2: And a point to understand, the climate change radicals have 452 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 2: consistently hurt the environment. They are bad on the environment. 453 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 2: If the only thing you care about, if you wake 454 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 2: up every morning praying to Mother Earth. If that's your 455 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 2: only voting issue, you should vote against Democrats. Why Let's 456 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 2: take for example Germany. The Greens forced nuclear power plants 457 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 2: to be closed. The result is today Germany is relying 458 00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: more on coal, which is much much worse for the environment. 459 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 2: And what country is leads the world every year in 460 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 2: the reduction of carbon emissions? 461 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: Which one? 462 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:12,959 Speaker 2: That would be the United States of America? Do you 463 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 2: know why? 464 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: Why is that? 465 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 2: Look, this is a question. Actually I pose when I'm 466 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,479 Speaker 2: when I'm in college campus, when I'm talking to college 467 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,280 Speaker 2: kids and they're Bernie Sanders supporters and they're they're freaked 468 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: out about the climate, I'll ask him a question. I'll say, 469 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:30,359 Speaker 2: tell me what human being has done the most to 470 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 2: reduce climate in our lifetimes? And inevitably they have no idea. 471 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 2: There is an objectively right answer. The right answer to 472 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 2: this is George Mitchell. Now, who is George Mitchell. George 473 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 2: Mitchell was a Texas oil man. He was the son 474 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 2: of a Greek goat herder, and George Mitchell is is 475 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 2: the man most responsible for pioneering fracking, and he did 476 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 2: it in the Barnett Shale under Fort Worth and Dallas. 477 00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 2: Fracking unlocked the shale revolution, which resulted in massive production 478 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 2: of natural gas, much of it in Texas, although also 479 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania and Ohio and other states across the country. 480 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: And the reason the United States every year leads the 481 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 2: world in the reduction of carbon emissions is because at 482 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: a wide scale level, we are replacing coal powered electricity 483 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 2: generation with natural gas powered electricity generation, and that pollutes 484 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 2: much much less, it emits much less carbon, and the 485 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 2: Greens and the Radical Dems have opposed that at every step. 486 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 2: By the way, do you know what country leads the 487 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 2: world in pollution? 488 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: What's that? 489 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 2: That would be Communist China, which pollutes massively, and yet 490 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 2: the Biden administration bear hug them with all they had. 491 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: There you go, don't forget. We do this show to 492 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,719 Speaker 1: talk about things just like this Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
