WEBVTT - Democrats Are Climate Change Insane 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:16.760 You are entering the freedom hunt. Seven hours of Democrat 0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:21.239 insanity on display. They had their town hall on climate change. 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.520 It was the wackiest thing I've seen in TV in 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:26.840 a long time. We'll break down different aspects of it 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:28.560 and tell you everything you need to know. Coming up 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:32.120 on the Buck Sexton Show. Bucks Sexton Mission, decoding the 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:39.479 news and disseminating information with actionable intelligence. Make no mistake, America, 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:44.000 You're a great American again. This is the Buck Sexton Show. 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.800 Former CIA analysts, Remember I can speak for three hours 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.600 without a phone call. Try doing that sometime. It is Sexton. 0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:58.440 No whife on Earth is at risk. Climate change the 0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:03.800 single greatest concern for war. We are fighting for the 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:08.520 survival of the planet Earth. It is a monumental crisis. 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:11.000 It's about an existential threat to who we are as 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.560 human beings. The UN has told us that we have 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:18.880 about twelve years to get this right, for the consequences 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:22.040 could be catastrophic. It is the issue the lens through 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.800 which we must do everything that we do. It is 0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.760 an everyday mission. We can lead the world on the 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:31.280 greatest challenge that we've ever had. I would end all 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.720 fossil fuel subsidies and I'm gonna take it a step further. 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.280 I propose a constitutional amendment that makes it the responsibility 0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:39.840 in United States government to safeguard and protect our environment 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.680 for future generations. This is on par with winning World 0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:46.840 War Two, perhaps even more challenging than that. Welcome to 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:57.680 the book Sex and Show. Wow, folks, Wow. I rarely 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.720 I'm a radio host that ever really had a loss 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.920 for words? Hopefully not. But does it get any crazier 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.280 than what those Democrats were saying last night? Can you 0:02:06.320 --> 0:02:10.280 think of anything that is too extreme or exaggerated for 0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:15.200 them to say about the threat of climate change? What 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.760 could be a bigger threat than existential in the end 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.400 of existence, the end of humanity, the end perhaps of 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.800 a habitable planet. This is not an exaggeration. They say 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:31.600 this repeatedly, explicitly, and they say it with a certainty 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.920 that should be terrifying to everybody, because who the heck 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.000 are all these people that think that they understand what 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.720 the world's gonna be like in fifty years. I don't 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:44.360 know the world's gonna be like in five years. I 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.520 was overwhelmed. Now I did not watch all seven hours. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:49.440 I don't know if any human being in America watched 0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:52.359 all seven hours. I doubt it, but I did watch 0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.480 as much of it as I could stomach a lot 0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:58.160 of the clips of it. And this is where the 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:02.959 Democratic Party is right now. This is what they're really 0:03:03.000 --> 0:03:10.359 all about. This is what they believe. They think that 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:14.000 we are in an existential battle for the future of 0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:18.560 the human race. They don't act like it as individuals, 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.880 but they want the control as a government body. They 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.839 want the control from up above to tell us all 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:27.000 how to live our lives, what we can do, how 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:32.400 the economy should function. This is where the Democratic Party 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.240 has gone to an extreme that should be worrying through 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:36.800 all of us. I mean, I go back and forth. 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:38.920 I'm not always sure if we should laugh or cry 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:43.680 about this. That this is a position that is supposed 0:03:43.680 --> 0:03:46.240 to be held by the intelligent, by the well educated, 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.960 by the well meaning. That climate change means we only 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:55.880 have ten years to make massive changes to our lives 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.440 in this country that would make us much poorer, that 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.440 would all kinds of technological growth and prosperity that have 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:09.120 real consequences, good and bad in people's lives. They're willing 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:11.240 to do all of this. Here's what I'm going to 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:16.280 tell you this. Unfortunately, this hysteria is not really new. 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:22.760 It is cyclical. There was a book that was written 0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.680 back I think it was a nineteen sixty eight The 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:33.080 Population Bomb, by doctor Paul Erlic. I'll just read to 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.880 you a little bit from the prologue of this. This 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:40.520 book sold millions of copies and had a very real 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:44.720 impact on the scientific community around the world. Some even 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:51.120 say it led to some of the horrific population control 0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.760 policies that many countries around the world implemented, most well 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:58.400 known as China's one child policy, but there are other 0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:03.680 countries too, with forced sterilization. These bad ideas that democrats 0:05:03.680 --> 0:05:05.800 are trotting out last night, keep in mind, if they could, 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:11.480 they would, they're serious about this stuff. Well, here's what 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:16.840 doctor hashtag science Erlic was writing back in the late 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:19.120 nineteen sixties, and then in the nineteen seventies this became 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:24.720 a phenomenon. Quote, the battle to feed all of humanity 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:28.960 is over. In the nineteen seventies and nineteen eighties, hundreds 0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.640 of millions of people will starve to death in spite 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:37.160 of any crash programs embarked upon. Now, at this late date, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:41.120 nothing can prevent a substantial increase in the world death rate, 0:05:41.600 --> 0:05:44.640 although many lives could be saved through dramatic programs to 0:05:44.839 --> 0:05:49.200 stretch the caring capacity of the earth by increasing food 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.239 production and providing for more equitable distribution of whatever food 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.159 is available, But these programs will only provide a stay 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.839 of execution unless they are a companied by determined and 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:06.839 successful efforts at population control. Population control is the conscious 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.159 regulation of the numbers of human beings to meet the needs, 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:13.559 not just of individual families, but of society as a whole. 0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:18.479 End quote. Now, I don't have to tell you this 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:22.080 guy wasn't a little bit wrong. He was totally wrong, 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:26.880 as wrong as wrong gets. Not only do we not 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.520 have mass die off of hundreds of millions of people, 0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:36.040 population growth has exploded globally, and our biggest health crisis 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:40.360 in the developed world in particular is overeating is too 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:45.000 many calories. We have more people than ever before, we 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:49.560 have more food than ever before. So he couldn't have 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.360 been more wrong. He was wrong in a way that 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.880 would be hard to replicate. And you may be saying, well, Buck, 0:06:55.920 --> 0:07:00.000 but that's population control. How does that? Well? Of course, 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:04.960 there's the the scientific movement here. Zierra Club involved in 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.720 the publication of this, a lot of scientists saying, you know, 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.240 we're and oh, some of you are probably saying, wait, buck, 0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:15.360 what about what about Mauthis? Back in the nineteenth century. 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:19.640 Didn't Mauthis have a similar thesis, the Malthusian thesis, that 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.040 we would population would reach a point where we could 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:23.800 not feed it anymore, and then there'd have to be 0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:27.880 massive reduction over time in population because we can't feed 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.200 all the people, and there might be if there's famines 0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:33.800 and things, mass die off that occurs as well, because 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:37.800 our food supply will be so precarious and overstretched. Oh 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.000 that's right. John Thomas Mouthis he thought that too. He 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:44.440 was a really smart guy hashtag science. People thought he 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:50.840 was right. Yeah. There are many, many times more people 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:53.400 globally in the world now than there were when Mouthis 0:07:53.520 --> 0:07:57.720 was writing that. What does it have to do with 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.440 population control? Oh? I don't know. Maybe because last night 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:03.560 Bernie Sanders, when he was asked about how we have 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:08.240 to fight climate change, explicitly said, yeah, you know, we 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.520 should probably have abortions in third world countries so there 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.840 are less people. This is what he's saying. We should 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.840 have abortions in third world we need more population control 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.960 to help fight with climate to help fight climate change, 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.520 So that means America needs to start pushing and funding 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:27.000 abortions all over the world. Let's kill more babies to 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:31.520 stop climate change. I'm not making this up, folks, this 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:35.000 is what he said. Human population growth has more than 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:38.760 doubled in the past fifty years. The planet cannot sustain 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.080 this growth. I realize this is a poisonous topic for politicians, 0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:48.000 but it's crucial to face. Empowering women and educating everyone 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.240 on the need to curb population growth seems a reasonable 0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:55.360 campaign to enact. Would you be courageous enough to discuss 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.360 this issue and make it a key feature of a 0:08:57.440 --> 0:09:02.160 plan to address climate catastrophe Monthly d answers Yes. I think, 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:06.120 especially in poor countries around the world, where women do 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:09.560 not necessarily want to have large numbers of babies, and 0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:12.679 where they can have the opportunity through birth control to 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.080 control the number of kids, they have something. I very 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:22.439 very strongly support population control, folks, and weren't want to 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:28.600 get into more specifics about abortion, but population control, that's 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:32.240 what they're advocating. They were advocating population control fifty years ago. 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:34.760 Then it was because we were going to run out 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.760 of food. They said, this is the scientists or we're 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.280 going to run out of food now. And you might say, buck, 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.160 that wasn't all scientists, Yeah, but the people that study 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.000 food and population growth. This became the fad. This became 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.600 what if you were in this area, just like with climatologists. 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.800 Now you want to have the loneliest, loneliest professional life 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:53.320 in the world. Be a climatologist who says, you know, 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:56.040 we really can't predict the future. We don't know, and 0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.360 we shouldn't make We shouldn't take drastic measures that we 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:04.160 know will absolutely have a major cost associated with them 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.480 based on what is at best and educated guests about 0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.280 what the future of climate will be. You want to 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.400 be that guy. You're gonna have no friends, no grant money, 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:20.240 probably get death threats. This end of times based on 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:24.600 science ideology is not new. We've been through this before. 0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:31.360 These people are wrong, they're wrong. They can't tell what 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.160 the future of the world will be. They can't tell 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.000 you what science is going to be able to do. 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.640 And yet they want us to make decisions right now 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:41.680 that would be horrifically counterproductive and that would have very 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:48.240 real costs that that fad of population control as necessary 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.080 to save us for mass starvation in the seventies that 0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:56.280 led into forced sterilization in India, China's one child policy. 0:10:57.240 --> 0:11:01.760 You know, you can trace this thinking all the way, 0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:06.200 all the way back to the origins of the eugenics movement, 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:12.520 that we have to control the population. Eugenics was coined 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:17.640 by Francis Galton back in eighteen eighty three with inquiries 0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:21.920 into human faculty and its development. Galton took the term 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:27.000 as deriving from the Greek eugenes, namely good in stock 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:33.760 hereditarily endowed with noble qualities. The original eugenicists were all 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.640 about population control, and they thought they were doing a 0:11:36.640 --> 0:11:39.080 good thing. Oh, we're just going to have only the 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.800 healthiest and the best people. We need to control the undesirables. 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:46.120 This led to some of the most twisted and horrific 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:51.280 government government instituted. Mind you, eugenics is not something that 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.280 people do in their spare time on the weekends. It's 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.880 governments that do this, governments that seize control and force sterilization, 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:03.679 governments by law, including our own folks. But it was 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.040 for our good, you see, That's what they told us. 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:12.240 Going after people who had mental health issues, who were 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:17.360 born with different disabilities or infirmities. In other parts around 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:21.320 the world, it was people who are from the wrong group, 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:23.920 whatever that may be, from some out group within the society. Yeah, 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.440 they should be sterilized. Maybe there should be forced abortions too, 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.800 depends on which country we're talking about. If they really believe, 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.960 if the left really believes what they are telling us 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.280 and what they are selling us right now, and that 0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:39.199 is that we face an existential crisis. We must turn 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.640 around the coo to curve or else we're all gonna die. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.920 Why would we think that it's too much for them 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.200 to advocate for population control. Why would we think that 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:55.240 it's in any way a surprise that they would want 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.000 to get rid of the Mexico City policy that says 0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:59.920 that we can't support used tax para dollars to support abortions. 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:01.360 Broad of course they're going to want to get rid 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:04.160 of all of that if they really believe what they're saying. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:12.319 This was lunacy on display last night, and it's something 0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.360 that we all should remember as we think about who 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.440 we really want in charge in this country. President Trump 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.400 is not perfect. I've never said he is. You know 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.120 he's not. And we have to do our part as 0:13:25.120 --> 0:13:27.200 supporters of the president, those of you who are listening, 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:28.600 who are, and I know not all of you are, 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:31.360 but a supporter is to guide him toward the best 0:13:31.360 --> 0:13:34.520 policy decisions possible, to govern as well as he can 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:41.520 while protecting fundamental individual freedoms and constitutional rights. The other side, 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:44.880 forget about not being perfect. The other side or a 0:13:44.880 --> 0:13:50.839 bunch of status petty totalitarians, and there's nothing that they 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.400 think is outside the bounds of what they're allowed to do, 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:55.560 if only they come up with a creative narrative to 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.800 justify it. You do not want those people in charge. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.440 Just look at the history of what happens when they 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:06.080 acquire that much power in any country anywhere in the world. 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.840 We'll be right back. What you described is the most 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:16.319 existential threat to our country's future, and the UN has 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.520 told us that we have about twelve years to get 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:26.840 this right or the consequences could be catastrophic. The most 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.840 existential threat this country faces, I can tell you know 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.640 what is an existential threat to this country open borders. 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.640 Oh yeah, the dissolution of the polity, the sense that 0:14:38.640 --> 0:14:44.720 this is no longer a community of citizens and Americans, 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.280 that this is just a place where anyone can come 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.040 and go as they please, without any loyalty, without any 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:53.160 respect for sovereignty and the rule of law that this 0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:58.440 entity has. What is americanness if anyone just shows up 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:03.040 whenever they want to these whenever they want to That's one. 0:15:03.120 --> 0:15:05.920 Another one was the Fiat currency we have, which, as 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.640 I've told you, and I'm somebody who likes history, all 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:11.520 of the Fiat currencies of the past have all gone 0:15:11.560 --> 0:15:14.200 to zero. You know, we're now at I remember we 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.080 were not even a twenty trillion dollars in dead and 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.520 people were very concerned. I remember the Tea Party movement 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:24.080 very well. It's when I got into media. And sure enough, 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.120 now we're at a twenty three heading to twenty four. 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:30.160 I think gonna be a thirty before long, folks. That's 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.880 this is gonna be a problem. So there are real 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:38.840 possible and look, I'm an optimist, and maybe that's probably 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.360 it's probably not good for radio. I should be here 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.880 like we're all gonna die and everything is terrible, and 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:47.120 oh the commies are gonna like can overthrow the government 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:51.760 any day down all that kind of stuff. Some people 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.560 do that. I don't like to do that. I respect 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:56.560 and admire this audience too much to just try to 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.880 hit hit fear centers in people. Whenever, Oh, look at this, 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.000 this is so bad, it's so crazy. The Democratic Party, though, 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:05.880 has gone socialist, and that is very concerning. That's real. 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.920 It is now a socialist party. They won't call themselves 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:14.000 that because they understand the connotations and enough people still 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:19.280 have some connection to history, some understanding of history that 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:22.880 just to openly say that the democratic parties of socialist 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:27.520 parties problematic for them. But the mentality that you see 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.080 of mobilizing us behind this climate change idea, there's a 0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:35.080 reason that they use martial rhetoric. There's a reason that 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:39.800 this is being set up as the the moral and 0:16:39.920 --> 0:16:45.760 political equivalent of war, and that is because Democrats, stretching 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:51.240 back to clearly Woodrow, Wilson and FDR, think that that's 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.480 the best way, the best way to be able to 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.160 control people and get them to do what you want 0:16:57.840 --> 0:17:02.600 and mobilize the collective. In fact, you could even look 0:17:02.640 --> 0:17:05.119 back at the French Revolution, that was the idea, the 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:07.840 mobilization of the people, an army of the people. Is 0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.640 this is right at the center of Marxist and socialist 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:15.760 rhetoric that the collective needs to act as one in 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.480 the furtherance of the revolution. In this case, the collective 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.359 will be acting as one against climate change. But because 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:26.280 climate change is all encompassing, it means that the will 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:31.640 of the people, as determined by the Green new deegal cadre, 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.840 whoever that may be in any given time, will decipher 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:37.760 for all of us what needs to be done in 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:39.880 every aspect of our lives. Because this is a war. 0:17:40.000 --> 0:17:43.040 You can't sit out the war on climate change. You see, 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.560 there's no conscientious objectors. There's no one on the sidelines. 0:17:47.080 --> 0:17:49.199 You're not allowed to opt out. You're not allowed to 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:55.240 choose to not participate. You will be made to. This 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.239 is why they like it, this is why they use 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:02.600 the rhetoric they do, And people like Beto O'Rourke say 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.680 things like this. My son, Henry, who's eight years old, 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.119 when I was talking to him the other night, he 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:11.760 asked me, Dad, if you win and you become president, 0:18:11.960 --> 0:18:14.320 we get to live in El Pasto, right, And I 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:16.280 said no, if we win the way this works, we 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:19.160 would live in Washington, d C. But he knew because 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.160 I had told him about the warming that we face, 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.400 that our community will be uninhabitable, not sustain human life 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:30.280 along this current trajectory unless something dramatically and fundamentally changes. 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.200 And that's like a form of child abuse to lie 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.560 to your kid that way. But maybe he's just lying 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:38.280 about the kids saying that that's more likely. So what's 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.920 the most outrageous thing if we're going to talk about 0:18:41.920 --> 0:18:45.040 the martial rhetoric of libs when it comes to climate change, 0:18:45.680 --> 0:18:49.120 what is the thing that they could say that there's 0:18:49.160 --> 0:18:50.359 got to be a party of There's like, they're not 0:18:50.480 --> 0:18:52.600 really gonna They're not really gonna do that, right, They're 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.800 not really gonna make that comparison, are they. They've already 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:59.240 said that it's an existential crisis, that it's the biggest 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:02.760 threat we face. You will hear people who think of 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:08.960 themselves as intelligent and well informed say that it's the 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:14.440 biggest national security threat we face. The biggest national security 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:16.920 threat we face is climate change. So in that vein 0:19:17.080 --> 0:19:19.360 I said before, they like they like the martial rhetoric 0:19:19.359 --> 0:19:20.760 of you know, this is a fight we all have 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:24.159 to be in and we need to mobilize, And what 0:19:24.480 --> 0:19:26.240 are they going to say it's like, Oh, that's right, 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.960 they're gonna say, it's like fighting the Nazis in the 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:37.960 Second World War. I'm asking Americans to make this our priority. 0:19:38.160 --> 0:19:40.159 One of the reasons I love the framing of the 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:42.560 Green New Deal is it uses some of the language 0:19:42.600 --> 0:19:44.520 that we might associate with the way that we met 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:48.200 the response of Nazi Germany in World War Two, all 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.119 of this country coming together with a singular focus of 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:53.640 making sure that we overcome what was at that time 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:57.040 an existential threat to this country and to our democracy. 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:01.480 Mass mobilization, folks. He's even saying that we like to 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.280 use these words. We like to make it sound like 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:10.000 that's what's going on here, mass mobilization. Interesting, isn't it. 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.600 Oh he's not that, you might say, Oh, bet Joe, 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.080 he's a clown. That is not the only one who 0:20:15.080 --> 0:20:20.080 brought up the World War two fighting analogy last night 0:20:20.119 --> 0:20:24.280 at this climate change debacle. We have to actually unify 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:28.040 the country around this project, and that means bringing people 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:30.720 to the table who haven't felt that they've been part 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:32.960 of the process. I mean, this is the hardest thing 0:20:33.040 --> 0:20:35.760 we will have done, certainly in my lifetime as a country. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.560 This is on par with winning World War two perhaps 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.840 even more challenging than that. Does anybody really think we're 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:44.800 going to meet that goal? If between now and twenty 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.840 fifty we are still at each other's throats, it's not 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:49.800 going to happen. We've got to figure out a way 0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:53.280 to rally, and that means everybody, from cities to farms, 0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:58.159 to the federal government to the international community. Might be 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:05.679 harder than World War Two. I mean, you do have 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.680 to SubTime just say, wow, these people really there's a 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.679 better A Rourke and mayor Pete Mayor Pete's you know, 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.719 he's a veteran, a Rhodes scholar, And how could someone 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:22.320 who is theoretically so well read and are you died 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:24.880 Theoretically at least Rhodes scholars are not nearly as impressive 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:26.480 as people like to pretend they are. But that's a 0:21:26.480 --> 0:21:31.160 whole other conversation. How can they say things like this 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:36.720 and expect anyone to take them seriously afterwards? Sixty million 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:42.199 people died in World War two. Climate change is what exactly. 0:21:42.600 --> 0:21:45.320 There's going to be some melting glaciers that will make 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.720 the sea levels rise, will be okay, it's not even 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:50.639 going to happen. The way they say it's going to happen, 0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.800 and who knows, maybe in ten years there'll be some 0:21:53.840 --> 0:21:55.520 way that we can just clean all the co two 0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.439 out of the atmosphere. They don't know. Father that wouldn't 0:21:58.440 --> 0:21:59.840 be a good thing because then all the plants would die. 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.560 But you know what I'm saying, Maybe there's something that 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:05.639 is going to happen then we don't even know about. 0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:11.760 They don't know. But this is the central fallacy of 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:15.679 the central planner. They don't know what they don't know, 0:22:16.520 --> 0:22:19.600 and they refuse to accept. But there are things that 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:25.199 they can't know, and yet they want to take dramatic 0:22:25.280 --> 0:22:28.359 They want to force us. It's they're not asking. This 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.200 is why they're using the rhetoric about immobilization and work. 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:36.560 They want to force us to listen to them, to 0:22:36.680 --> 0:22:38.560 bend the need to do what they tell us to do. 0:22:40.440 --> 0:22:44.320 It'll make us poorer. And there's no upside here, you know. 0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:50.320 At least the upside of socializing healthcare is theoretically some 0:22:50.359 --> 0:22:53.240 people will get healthcare, although eventually it'll just collapse and 0:22:53.280 --> 0:22:55.720 then nobody's getting the healthcare they should. But theoretically some 0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:58.280 people will get healthcare that wouldn't so so it's a 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:03.080 bad idea, but there's some offset of good that will 0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:06.040 come from the bad idea, at least with climate change. 0:23:06.920 --> 0:23:09.359 This is the worst of ideas in many ways because 0:23:09.440 --> 0:23:14.359 it's only downside, because the upside that they think exists 0:23:14.520 --> 0:23:18.439 does not exist. There is nothing about reduction of CO 0:23:18.800 --> 0:23:22.640 two via government fiad I keep saying, this is already 0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:27.640 happening as a natural technological process. We are decarbonizing. It's 0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:30.919 easy to figure out. It's anyone knows this that spends 0:23:30.960 --> 0:23:34.760 two seconds thinking about it. But for the government to 0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:38.320 do this great leap forward into a carbon free future 0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:44.760 is utterly insane. But they don't. They refuse to accept 0:23:44.800 --> 0:23:47.119 that they don't know. They don't know what they don't know. 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.439 And here we are, the central planners telling us how 0:23:51.440 --> 0:23:53.919 we should live our lives. And it's not even like 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:56.400 there's something that we get from it that would make 0:23:56.480 --> 0:24:02.280 that would be worth anything. This is utter worthlessness, massive 0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:09.200 destruction of wealth and freedom and technological advancement and so 0:24:09.320 --> 0:24:12.639 much that has made human beings healthier and wealthier and 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.720 better off. They want to push against all of that, 0:24:16.960 --> 0:24:21.359 just like you know, mouthis didn't like that people were 0:24:21.640 --> 0:24:23.720 having so many kids and all of a sudden, these 0:24:23.760 --> 0:24:28.239 industrialized societies could support much larger populations in cities, and oh, 0:24:28.320 --> 0:24:31.320 can't have that. Paul Aerlic, you know, oh, we can't 0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:32.879 have all these people. And he would, by the way, 0:24:33.040 --> 0:24:36.040 was very down on all the people. Airlick was down 0:24:36.119 --> 0:24:39.280 on all the people in the Third world, specifically they're 0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:43.359 having too many kids. But scientists try to sweep some 0:24:43.400 --> 0:24:46.480 of that under the rug. Now we'll be right back. 0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:50.000 Do you ban plastic straws? I think we should. Yes. 0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:53.080 So would you ban offshore drilling? Yes? We have to 0:24:53.119 --> 0:24:57.000 take to take combustion engine vehicles off the road as 0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:59.760 rapidly as we can. Let's talk about off shords drilling 0:24:59.760 --> 0:25:02.800 for would you ban it? Yes? Would you ban offshore 0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:08.360 drilling absolutely? Yes. We will transition off of fossil fuels 0:25:08.800 --> 0:25:12.719
