He got 12 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: elected on the immigration thing. As the ice officers are 13 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,920 Speaker 1: out there targeting violent offenders about four hundred people who 14 00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: have been arresto already who had horrible criminal records that 15 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,120 Speaker 1: were in our country, and the fact that they arrested 16 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: him within like you know, two days of a new 17 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: presidency means they knew who they were and where they 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: were right and. 19 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,919 Speaker 3: The fact that they had been left to do whatever 20 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 3: they wanted and stay in the country until now boggles 21 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: the mind. 22 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: It really does, it really does. They had been identified 23 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: by the Justice Department. People knew exactly what sort of 24 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: horrible things these people had done, and because of a 25 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 1: variety of ridiculous policies at the federal, state, and city level, 26 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: they were just. 27 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: Hanging out waiting to commit their next crimes. 28 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: And then you got the Lake and Riley Act, which 29 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: passed the House easily by over one hundred votes with 30 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: a forty six Democrats voting on it. That's the act 31 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: that makes it easier for federal officials to detain and 32 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: deport illegals who are charged with crimes. And prior to this, 33 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: you know that would that gets around the sanctuary city right, 34 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: because sanctuary city thing, because it's a it's a federal law. 35 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: So in theory, the state of California or Los Angeles 36 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: County or whoever can't just ignore that. 37 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 2: In theory. We'll see. Yeah, that is going to be 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 2: worked out at length. 39 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 3: The question of can the federal government compel in any 40 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: way a local employee to do their bidding. That's going 41 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 3: to be knocking around the courts for a long time, 42 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: but it ought to be decided. It's about time. 43 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: Well, we know our public opinion is New York Times 44 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: poll over the weekend, eighty five percent of Americans want 45 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: illegals with criminal backgrounds out. 46 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 2: In the other fifteen percent of I want to deport you. 47 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: Are you insane? How does the world look to you? 48 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 2: Because what sort of system? 49 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 3: You need to explain your system top to bottom for me, 50 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 3: because I'm fascinating. 51 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: I agreed to port them. I don't care if they're 52 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: sixteen generation may Flower Americans. 53 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: They need to go, yeah place who cares? Give where? 54 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: My side don't care. 55 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: The other border thing, fifteen hundred troops headed to the border, 56 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: and some marine was on the talk shows yesterday saying 57 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: there might be as many as ten thousand soon doing 58 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: a variety of different jobs. I don't know if you 59 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: saw the pictures of the detention centers Mexico's building on 60 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: the other side of the border, because they realized the 61 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: jig is up and these people got to go somewhere. 62 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: So they're trying to figure out where they're gonna put 63 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: everybody since they're not going to be crossing anymore. Keeping 64 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: in mind that eight million people crossed illegally during the 65 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 1: Biden administration. Eight million people, as Bob Woodward said in 66 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: his book Bob Freaking Woodward said, the greatest non war 67 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: migration of humans in world history. In the history of 68 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: the planet happened because of our stupid, stupid policies, utterly 69 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: lawless for years and years in year, and shockingly so, 70 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: so we've been discussing, and thank goodness, Trump, among other things, 71 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: doesn't care if some fringe of activists says this. 72 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 3: Is racist against Hispanics or something. It's an idiotic argument, 73 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 3: but the bulk of the political world at least listens 74 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 3: to that and thinks, hmm, I wonder how much influence 75 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: and sway they have. I wonder if they would cost 76 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: me votes and contributions. Trump's like, I don't care, be quiet, 77 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 3: which is great. Now here's the problem with Trump, and 78 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 3: there are a couple of stories like this. It's I 79 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: finally came up with the correct metaphor. It's as if 80 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 3: he's in the Oval Office unleashing these great executive vill 81 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 3: orders and urging Congress to pass fantastic laws and returning 82 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 3: so many policies back to sanity, and as he's doing that, 83 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: he's just like casually sliding landmines around the Oval Office 84 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: and saying, Oh, don't worry, I won't step on him. 85 00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: Because that's Trump's thing. 86 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: He creates his own land minds for the you know 87 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 3: the other people who exploit. And some of you are like, 88 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 3: why are you guys focusing on some of the negative 89 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 3: stuff with Trump? He's doing so many good things. It's 90 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 3: because I could I've seen this movie before. The only 91 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 3: way that great stuff ends is if he steps on 92 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 3: one of his own land mines. 93 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: The Left can't take him. 94 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: That was like Lincoln used to say about the country 95 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 3: will never be taken over by some external force. If 96 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 3: we are to fall apart, it'll be of our own making. 97 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 98 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: I like this border immigration stuff though, so yeah, can 99 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: you explain to me? I meant to read the article yesterday. 100 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: We're big fans of the Dispatch around here, and they 101 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 1: put out a piece on why we need to continue 102 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: birthright citizenship, and I didn't get around reading it. 103 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: I wanted to hear the argument, and. 104 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: I was asking, I've been asking for the last couple 105 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: of days, what's the argument for continuing it? Because I 106 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: hadn't heard one yet, but there must be one or several, 107 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: and I'd like to know. 108 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 3: The only one that's really leapt to my mind is 109 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 3: that if you if you have a smart, orderly immigration system, 110 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 3: and it takes a while for those people to become citizens. 111 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 3: But they're here to stay to become Americans. Their kids 112 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: ought to be Americans. There shouldn't be a long administrative 113 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 3: process that their kids become Americans. But how do you 114 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 3: deal with the whole citizenship tourism thing that's popular. 115 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 2: Particularly among the rich in Asia. 116 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: You know, you're going to have a baby, see a 117 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: fly the United States and stay in a hotel or 118 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 1: whatever you do, and have your kid born at a 119 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: hospital here so you can they're a citizen. 120 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: Why don't we What are we supposed to do? Put 121 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 2: a pin in it now? Or park the car? Parks 122 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: a car?

Thank god, thank god. 127 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: It's one of the greatest developments of our long career. 128 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 3: I said, we're at the point that I don't want 129 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 3: to I hate. 130 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 1: To even say this out loud because some of you 131 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: will flip off the radio because you go to like 132 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: five meetings a day. 133 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 2: I think I go to three meetings a year.

I'm going 247 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: to read this just because I appreciate Roberts taking the 248 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 3: time to craft a joke that sounds as if it 249 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 3: was taken from the pages of a joke book for 250 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 3: eight year olds written in nineteen seventy six. We're discussing 251 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 3: the Artinian Museum of Men's Suits, which has been closed 252 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 3: down one of many cost cutting measures by Javier Milay. 253 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 3: They're great new President, Robert says.

You can have a 259 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 2: museum like I screwed it up. 260 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: But usually when you have a weirdo museum like that 261 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: in the United States, it's privately funded. It's not tax trainers, 262 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: and that's the problem. It was like like the government 263 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 1: had a museum of suits. 264 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, good gracious. Let's see. 265 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: This is Mike from northern Minnesota. He says, guys, I 266 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 3: have a similar story the one Joe told last week. 267 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 3: I did about dropping my iPhone in my dog's pooh 268 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 3: as I was trying to pick it up. Right, Mike, 269 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 3: several years ago, I placed my thirty caliber semi automatic 270 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: pistol in my pocket while I was doing my stand 271 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 3: up business. I think he means urinating when I bent 272 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 3: over to retrieve my gloves, said pistol fell out of 273 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 3: my pocket, landed on the hammer, sending the bullet into 274 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 3: my right butt cheek. Oh my god, the whole story 275 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 3: is too long for mailback. 276 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 2: Oh my god. Wow. Wow, Hey Mike, when's your birthday? 277 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna buy you a holster. 278 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: My first thought if that happened to me would be, 279 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: h I'm really lucky to be alive. 280 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. 281 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: Number two, I gotta get a gun that's less sensitive 282 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 3: to being dropped. 283 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: But anyway, let's see. 284 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 3: Jay from San Jose writes Trump has just executive ordered 285 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,840 Speaker 3: a battlefield strategy that covers so many fronts that Democrats 286 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 3: seem bewildered and scattered. No one is leading their party, 287 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: and Trump is going to walk through them because on 288 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: several different important issues, he knows some dams must vote 289 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 3: with him if they hope to get re elected, or 290 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 3: just for common sense, overwhelm and overtake. 291 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: Dang it. I came across a term yesterday. I meant 292 00:14:58,720 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: to write it down. I didn't know what I was. 293 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: I never did debate in my life. I guess it's 294 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: a debating term. You throw so many things at your 295 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 1: opponent they can't respond to all of them and that 296 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: right kind of what Trump is doing. There's just no 297 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: way to respond to all the things he's doing. Yeah, 298 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: I think you and jayf Sanjo's air exactly right. Let's 299 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: see on the topic of people not having. 300 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 3: Sex anymore again, If this was the giraffe or the 301 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 3: will to beast or something, every biologist in the world 302 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 3: would be shouting about how important and dangerous this is. 303 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 3: But people not having sex is another way of saying 304 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 3: not reproducing rights, Arnie. Think about animal populations in the wild. 305 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 3: When there are too many for the available area, they 306 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 3: naturally reduce the rate of reproduction. Could that be what 307 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 3: is happening to us humans? Perhaps there is enough food 308 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 3: available but not enough space. I'm just saying, Arnie, I 309 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: have always responded in the same way to this theory. 310 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 3: Drive from Kansas City, Missouri to Sacramento, California, and then 311 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 3: tell me there's not enough room for the people. You 312 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 3: will not see another living soul for twelve hundred miles. 313 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: Well ever, since I was about eleven, I understand the 314 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: relationship between sex and having children, but I didn't think 315 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: they'd be tied together like this if people decided not 316 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 1: to have kids. I didn't think they'd stop having sex, 317 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: very pleasurable experience. It doesn't need to result in a child. 318 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 1: I mean, in the modern world of birth control, you 319 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: don't have to have stop having sex. 320 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 3: So people just losing the desire to have sex is unbelievable. 321 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: Charles points out to dating these days is much more 322 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 3: fraught with potentially dire consequences than in any previous decade 323 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 3: I've ever experienced, especially for men, legal consequences, civil lawsuits, 324 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 3: claims of rape, whatever. Yeah, I don't know. I think 325 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 3: there are many factors and they've come together. 326 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I never did online dating, but I know a 327 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 1: lot of people that did for years and they've soured 328 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: on it because of bad experiences. 329 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: And I wonder if people don't know. 330 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: How to or don't want to go back to the 331 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: old way, so you go from online dating it didn't work, 332 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: you just stop. 333 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 3: Or let's face it, the young are the kings and 334 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 3: queens of hooking up right, getting it on the beast 335 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:04,520 Speaker 3: with two. 336 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 2: Bags, et cetera. 337 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 1: Not necessarily according to that pole, but right exactly. 338 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 3: And they're not like capable of meeting people and enduring 339 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 3: the stress and the rejections. 340 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: So you know, its true if you can't call a 341 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: pizza place to order a pizza. You're not gonna ask 342 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 1: somebody out on a date, Armstrong and Getty. 343 00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 6: This hasn't happened in seventy years.

Children were voluntarily being swallowed by alligators 346 00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 6: just to stay warmed. 347 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 2: Hioh. 348 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: We'll talk more about what's going on immigration wise now 349 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 1: that Trump has hit the ground running around immigration and 350 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: everything like that in hour two. 351 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 2: But here's one of my favorite things. It's getting attention. 352 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: The president's reversal on sensitive locations that free agents are 353 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 1: not allowed to go into has been done away with, 354 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: like churches, schools, hospitals, colleges, funerals, and rallies. You're going 355 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: to show up at a funeral and arrest people. That's wow, Ah, 356 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: that's aggressive. 357 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 2: That would be a little insensitive. 358 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: I suppose now you stand there for a second, say, 359 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: and they seemed like a nice person. 360 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 2: Anyway, come with me. Yeah, yeah, they'll be missed, and 361 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 2: so will you because you're leaving the country. 362 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 3: I all, uh, yeah, yeah, I get I get some 363 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 3: of those locations, but it's it's got end. We've gone way, way, way, 364 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: way too far in the other direction, and everyone knows it. 365 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 2: More on the immigration situation. 366 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 3: There's a lot to report today in a little bit, 367 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,719 Speaker 3: but I thought this was so interesting. One of the 368 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 3: things that the Trump administration is going to roll back 369 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 3: completely is the and this is editorializing, I know, the 370 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 3: completely phony, ridiculous, expensive subsidies for pie in the sky 371 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 3: green energy stuff and or trying to well, it's not 372 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 3: even that trying to reduce climate change, is what I 373 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 3: going to say. But as we all know, so many 374 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 3: of these measures are just purely symbolic. I mean, they'll 375 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 3: have no significant, you know, effect whatsoever, unless China and 376 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 3: India all of a sudden stop existing and then, you know, 377 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 3: maybe we could lower the temperatures by about a fourth 378 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 3: of a degree in one hundred years. Anyway, I thought 379 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,199 Speaker 3: this was so interesting. This is actually from the New 380 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 3: York Post, but it's headline kind of tells the story. 381 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 3: Climate change fanatics want to bankrupt the entire world for 382 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: little to no reward, and they've quantified a lot of 383 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 3: the costs and benefits of the things that have been 384 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 3: proposed and again, this is probably the greatest example I've 385 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 3: ever seen of something needs to be done. This is something, 386 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 3: so this needs to be done around climate change. So 387 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 3: across the world, public finances stretch dangerously thin per person 388 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 3: growth continues dropping while costs for aging populations grow. These 389 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 3: urgent priorities could easily require an additional three to six 390 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 3: percent of GDP. Yet green campaigners are loudly calling for 391 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 3: governments to spend up to twenty five percent of our 392 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 3: GDP on climate change. If climate armageddon were imminent, they 393 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 3: would have a point, but the truth is far more prosaic. 394 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 3: Two major new scientific estimates of the total global cost 395 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 3: of climate change have been published recently. And these are 396 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 3: not individual studies which can vary greatly. These are These 397 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 3: are meta studies based on the entirety of peer reviewed literature. 398 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 3: It's a study of studies, and the people behind them 399 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 3: are Nobel Prize winners and often cited that sort of thing. Anyway, 400 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 3: the studies suggests that a three degree celsius temperature increase 401 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: by the end of the century, which is pretty pessimistic. 402 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 3: That's a big increase a lot. Oh yeah, yeah, that's 403 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,600 Speaker 3: more than they're talking about. But they went with that 404 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 3: for some reason because it made the figures easier. I 405 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 3: don't know, but we'll have a global cost equivalent to 406 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 3: between two and three percent of global GDP. It will 407 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 3: be a two to three percent hit while global. 408 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: GDP, and I don't even need to know to be 409 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 1: certain that the proposals that are out there for trying 410 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 1: to stop that from happening are many multiples of that. 411 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, ruin the punchline, Yeah, of course. Yeah. 412 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 3: To put this into context, the United Nations estimates with it, 413 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 3: by the end of the century, the average person, because 414 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 3: standards of living have been rising now for one hundred 415 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 3: and seventy five years and continue to the average person 416 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 3: will be four hundred and fifty percent. 417 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:43,919 Speaker 2: As rich as he or she is today. 418 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 3: Because of climate change, they will feel only four hundred 419 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 3: and thirty five to four hundred and forty percent as 420 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 3: rich as they are today. Now, why is that so 421 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 3: different from the word we get from the media constantly? 422 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 3: A lot armists and credulous journalists fail to account for 423 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 3: the simple fact that people are remarkably adaptable and tackle 424 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 3: most climate problems at low cost. The idea that gets 425 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,640 Speaker 3: foistered or thrown at us over and over again. 426 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 2: Is that we will just except. 427 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 3: We'll like passively like sheep, except the changing climate and 428 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 3: do nothing about it. We will not adjust. We'll just 429 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 3: sit here and be drowned. We'll just well, the water's 430 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,359 Speaker 3: up to our navels will say oh, and the water's 431 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 3: up to our nipples will say, oh, it's too bad. 432 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 3: And as the water covers our nostrils will simply drown. 433 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 1: Well, there's only so much water, so if it rises somewhere, 434 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: it's got to go down somewhere else. 435 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,399 Speaker 2: We're not going to make new water. So isn't that true? 436 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 2: I mean, it's. 437 00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 3: They talk about the the all the ice on earth. 438 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: Oh, gotcha, melting, gotcha. But like for the whole temperature thing, 439 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: I'm from really cold parts. 440 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 2: Of the country. 441 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: It's not as miserable now as it was when I 442 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 1: was a kid. Now Florida is gonna have to buy 443 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 1: some of Kansas's snowplows because Kansas doesn't need him anymore 444 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: and Florida does. 445 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,359 Speaker 2: For the first time. But whatever gonna do. 446 00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 3: Right, Like I said, they're gonna be waving fields of 447 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 3: corn in the Yukon. Anyway, Let's talk about food climates. 448 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 3: Nuts insist that will starve. But research shows that instead 449 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 3: of a fifty one percent increase in food availability by 450 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 3: the year twenty one hundred, if there were no climate change, 451 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 3: we're on track for only a forty nine percent increase, 452 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 3: so dropping two percent. Weather disasters killed half a million 453 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 3: people annually in the nineteen twenties, whereas the last decades 454 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 3: saw fewer than nine thousand fatalities each year, ninety seven 455 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 3: and a half percent reduction mortality because people are more resilient, 456 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 3: were richer, and can access better technology. 457 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 1: You know, I have made it very clear over the years, 458 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: I have never looked into this story for some reason, 459 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: So I don't, you know, have a lot of facts 460 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: and figures at my fingertips. Be So what's the end 461 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: of the sentence when people talk about climate chang by 462 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 1: the end of the century, it's going to be three 463 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: degrees warmer or whatever. 464 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: And what will happen? What is the next part that 465 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 2: people always claim? 466 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 3: They often point out that low lying cities and countries 467 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 3: and island chains will be overrun and will be uninhabitable. 468 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 2: Okay, we'll move to higher ground, then. 469 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,199 Speaker 3: Move to the Yukon. Yeah, where was I? Because the 470 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 3: rest of this is really interesting two. Extremist climate enthusiasts 471 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: reveal their true colors when they push for d growth 472 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,400 Speaker 3: to cut emissions. You will hear that if you pay 473 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 3: attention to this stuff, making people worse off and reversing 474 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 3: gains against extreme poverty would be a tragic mistake and 475 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 3: laughable blah blah. More responsible politicians only want to achieve 476 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 3: net zero carbon emissions by the year twenty fifty, but 477 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: this approach still means slow in growth in the name 478 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 3: of climate change. By forcing businesses and individuals to use 479 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 3: less efficient green energy instead. 480 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 2: Of fossil fuels. 481 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 3: The total costs would be enormous fifteen to seven I'm sorry, 482 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 3: fifteen to thirty seven trillion dollars each year throughout the century, 483 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 3: equivalent to between fifteen and forty percent of global GDP today, 484 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 3: depending on how adjustments are made. Given wealthier countries will 485 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 3: foot most of this bill, the price tag will be 486 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 3: the equivalent to each person in the better off nations 487 00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,679 Speaker 3: paying north of ten thousand dollars every single year for 488 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 3: net zero emission growth, et cetera. The real cost of 489 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 3: inefficient climate policy is that it distracts resources and attention 490 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 3: from other priorities and They use the example of the 491 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 3: European Union that now invests nothing in R and D. 492 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: They don't come up with anything new. They just pour 493 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 3: all of their money into these fanciful climate change programs. 494 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: And India don't give a crap. China and India don't 495 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 1: give a crap. Has always been the problem with this. 496 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: Even if you had everybody on board, you'd have the 497 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: problems you're talking about. 498 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: But you don't have everybody on board. 499 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, they point out the EU switched focus with a 500 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 3: to a near myopic climate obsession, opting for a sustainable 501 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 3: economy over a sound one, a growing one, an innovative one. 502 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's leave them in our rearview mirrors.
