00:02:57WIFE FOR THEIR NEW BABY. SO, UH, IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU ALL HERE
00:02:59AS WELL. LET'S TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE AND NOT CLIMATE
00:03:03CHANGE, BECAUSE I DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. AND YOU SHOULDN'T CARE ABOUT
00:03:06CLIMATE CHANGE, TOO. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE POLITICS OF CLIMATE
00:03:09CHANGE, BECAUSE WE'RE IN WASHINGTON, D.C., AND EVERYTHING
00:03:12HERE IS POLITICAL. YOU USE POLITICS TO ACCOMPLISH ANY
00:03:15AGENDA, WHATEVER YOU WANT. IT IS 40 YEARS AGO, THERE WAS AN
00:03:18AGENDA THAT THESE PEOPLE WHO
00:03:20MADE THIS PLASTIC ORANGE GOO
00:03:23SAID, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE WANT PEOPLE TO BUY THIS. SO WHAT'S CALLED MARGARINE? SO LET'S TELL
00:03:27PEOPLE, BUTTER WILL KILL THEM.
00:03:29AND A CAMPAIGN STARTED, AND ALL
00:03:32OF OUR POPPED UP. BUTTER IS GONNA KILL YOU. WE'RE ALL DYING FROM BUTTER. WE'RE DYING. IT WAS
00:03:36A CAMPAIGN. THERE'S A CAMPAIGN ON EVERYTHING. LOOK AT YOUR INSTAGRAM. IS YOUR PILLOW
00:03:39KILLING YOU? IS YOUR DOG CAUSING YOUR ASTHMA? YOUR BLANKET IS.
00:03:42AND YOU'RE LIKE, HOLY CRAP, CAMPAIGN'S ABOUT EVERYTHING
00:03:46BECAUSE SOMEONE WANTS YOU TO BUY SOMETHING, DO SOMETHING, VOTE A
00:03:49CERTAIN WAY. CLIMATE CHANGE IS NO DIFFERENT. WE CAN, IN THE
00:03:52Q&A, ASK ME ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE, OR FOSSIL FUELS, OR OIL
00:03:55OR GAS, OR COAL OR WIND OR SOLAR. ABSOLUTELY. BUT LET'S
00:03:59TALK ABOUT THE POLITICS. AND HOW DO YOU MAKE A CRISIS? WELL, OF
00:04:03COURSE, START WITH GREAT THOMAS JEFFERSON, BECAUSE I'M A VERY
00:04:06PROUD VIRGINIA FARMER, AND WE'RE GOING TO GO BACK TO THIS IN THE END. SO JUST YOU ALL KNOW THIS
00:04:10QUOTE, OF COURSE, RIGHT? SO JUST
00:04:12PUTTING IT THERE AS A REMINDER,
00:04:15THE GROWING DIVIDE IN AMERICA IS WHERE THIS CLIMATE CHANGE DEBATE
00:04:17IS BASED. AND I THINK THIS IS
00:04:22OUR BIGGEST NATIONAL PROBLEM. IT IS NOT BLACK, WHITE, IT IS NOT MALE, FEMALE. IT IS NOT EVEN
00:04:25RICH, POOR. DESPITE THE MAMDANI AND THE AL SEEDS AND EVERYONE
00:04:28ELSE TELLING US THAT'S THE FIGHT. THIS IS THE BIGGEST DIVIDE WE HAVE IN THE COUNTRY.
00:04:32IT IS RURAL VERSUS URBAN. AND
00:04:35WHY DO I SAY THIS? WHEN WE WERE FOUNDED 250 YEARS AGO, WE WERE A
00:04:38BUNCH OF RURAL PEOPLE WITH A
00:04:41COUPLE OF BIG CITIES, RIGHT? WE ALWAYS HAD PHILLY, WE ALWAYS HAD
00:04:45BOSTON. BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE
00:04:46PEOPLE AND OUR ETHOS, OUR
00:04:50NATIONAL CONSCIENCE, WAS SMALL TOWN AMERICA. IT WAS RURAL. SO
00:04:52THEY WROTE A BUNCH OF LAWS, AND
00:04:55THEY CREATED A CONSTITUTION. FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE. AND IN
00:04:58THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS, ESPECIALLY SINCE WORLD WAR ONE,
00:05:00WE'VE FLIPPED. WE'VE NOW BECOME
00:05:04A VERY URBAN NATION, WITH SOME PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY. THAT'S
00:05:07NOT GOOD OR BAD. DOESN'T MATTER. RIGHT? WHERE ARE YOU? BETTER IN
00:05:10THE COUNTRY OF THE CITY? THAT'S A 3000 YEAR OLD ARGUMENT. THE GREEKS TALKED ABOUT A PLATO
00:05:14TALKED ABOUT IT. LOCKE AND
00:05:16HOBBES DEBATED IT. A THOMAS JEFFERSON AND BEN FRANKLIN
00:05:20DEBATED IT. AND THERE'S NOT YES OR NO, RIGHT OR WRONG. RIGHT.
00:05:23ARE YOU BETTER IN THE COUNTRY? ARE YOU BETTER IN THE CITY? MAKE YOUR ARGUMENT RIGHT. AND
00:05:26THERE'S A SPECTRUM. I BELIEVE
00:05:28THIS, I BELIEVE THIS, AND LET'S
00:05:31DEBATE. SO IT DOESN'T REALLY
00:05:33MATTER UNTIL UNTIL WE GET TO POLICY. AND WHAT DO I MEAN BY
00:05:37THAT? NOW WE HAVE A BUNCH OF URBANITES WHO MAKE POLICY FOR
00:05:41THE REST OF US, WHO HAVE NO IDEA HOW THE HELL THE WORLD WORKS.
00:05:44CASE IN POINT, AND I'M NOT USING THIS CONGRESSWOMAN BECAUSE SHE'S AN EASY PUNCHING BAG.
00:05:48I'M USING IT BECAUSE SHE DID THIS TO HERSELF IN A COMMENT
00:05:51THAT SHE MADE MANY, MANY YEARS AGO. CONGRESSWOMAN OCASIO-CORTEZ, AS SHE WAS COMING
00:05:55ON THE STAGE, ON THE NATIONAL
00:05:56STAGE. AND SHE WAS IN AN URBAN FARM IN THE BRONX. FOR THOSE WHO
00:06:00DON'T KNOW WHAT AN URBAN FARM IS, IT IS A PIECE OF DIRT IN THE
00:06:03MIDDLE OF THE CITY, WHERE PEOPLE GROW THINGS. AND IN THIS URBAN
00:06:06FARM, SHE WAS LOOKING AT WHAT EVERYONE WAS GROWING, AND SHE
00:06:09WAS MARVELING AT IT. BUT SHE SAID, BUT WHAT THEY'RE GROWING, THOUGH, IS NOT THE FOOD OF THESE
00:06:13PEOPLE. THESE ARE MOSTLY
00:06:15LATINOS. SHE PROBABLY PRONOUNCED
00:06:18IT LATINOS. AND, AND, AND THEY ARE GROWING BROCCOLI AND
00:06:21CUCUMBER. THEY'RE NOT GROWING
00:06:23COCO. THEY'RE NOT GROWING YUCCA.
00:06:26THEY'RE GROWING THE FOOD OF COLONIZATION. THEY'RE GROWING
00:06:28THE FOOD OF WHITE SUPREMACY. AND YOU SAY, NO, THEY'RE GROWING THE
00:06:31FOOD THAT GROWS IN THIS TEMPERATE ZONE, BECAUSE WE'RE
00:06:35NOT IN LATIN AMERICA. YOU CAN'T
00:06:37GROW COCOA IN NEW YORK CITY. YOU CAN'T GROW PALM TREES IN NEW
00:06:41YORK CITY. THAT IS NOT WHITE SUPREMACY. THAT IS NOT RACISM.
00:06:44THAT IS SOMETHING THAT IF YOU
00:06:47LIVE IN RURAL AMERICA, YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT ABOUT, AND YOU THINK EVEN JUST SCIENCE CLASS,
00:06:51BUT YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU LIVE IN THE COUNTRY, YOU DON'T KNOW THAT
00:06:54IF YOU ONLY HAVE LIVED IN THE
00:06:56CITY, WHY IS THAT A PROBLEM?
00:06:58BECAUSE SHE MAKES AG POLICY, AND
00:07:01THESE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE AG POLICY, AGRICULTURAL POLICY,
00:07:04ENERGY POLICY. THEY HAVE NO IDEA HOW ANY OF THESE THINGS WORK,
00:07:08WHERE THEY COME ABOUT, AND YET THEY HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE
00:07:11THOSE LAWS. SO THIS DIVIDE IS
00:07:14NOT JUST PHILOSOPHICAL. IT'S
00:07:16NOT JUST SOCIOLOGICAL. IT IS EXISTENTIAL. AND THAT'S WHERE
00:07:20THE POLITICS OF CLIMATE CHANGE COMES INTO. LOOK HOW HANDSOME I
00:07:21AM, RIGHT? THIS IS WHEN I TESTIFIED BEFORE CONGRESS A
00:07:25COUPLE YEARS AGO. IF YOU FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER, THERE'S MY TWITTER HANDLE. I'M REALLY GOOD
00:07:29ON SOCIAL MEDIA, SO I DO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THAT. UM, IF
00:07:32YOU WERE TO LOOK AT MY PINNED
00:07:34TWEET, WHICH IS, WOW, IT'S 2018
00:07:36A LONG TIME. UM, THIS IS A SMALL TOWN IN WEST VIRGINIA. THAT WAS
00:07:39A GREAT COAL TOWN THAT IS NOW DEAD BECAUSE OF THE WAR ON, ON,
00:07:43ON COAL, BECAUSE OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE MOVEMENT, RIGHT? WE HAVE
00:07:46TO GET RID OF COAL. A BUNCH OF
00:07:48PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE CITY, WHO
00:07:51HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL COAL DOES, CONVINCED PEOPLE WE GOT TO
00:07:54GET RID OF COAL. AND THEY WENT
00:07:57TO SMALL LITTLE TOWNS LIKE THIS IN WEST VIRGINIA, AND THEY DESTROYED IT. THEY TOOK AWAY THE
00:08:00ONLY THING THAT WAS WORKING, WHICH WAS THE COAL FACTORY.
00:08:03EVERYONE GOT FIRED. EVERYONE'S HOME NOW IS VALUELESS, BECAUSE
00:08:07WHO THE HELL MOVES TO A TOWN WHERE THERE ARE NO JOBS?
00:08:10EVERYONE TRYING TO FLEE CAN FLEE
00:08:12BECAUSE THERE ARE NO BUYERS FOR THEIR HOUSES. BUT DON'T TELL
00:08:16THE BANK THAT THE BANK SAYS YOUR HOME IS STILL WORTH $350,000.
00:08:19AND HERE'S YOUR MONTHLY MORTGAGE BILL. SO NOW YOU HAVE A MORTGAGE AND YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY
00:08:23NO ASSETS, AND YOU HAVE NO INCOME, YOU HAVE NO TAX REVENUE.
00:08:25SO YOUR SCHOOLS CLOSE. SO NOW
00:08:28YOU HAVE TO DRIVE YOUR KIDS 45 MINUTES TO THE NEXT SCHOOL FOR
00:08:32THEIR EDUCATION, RIGHT? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN CITIES LIKE THIS,
00:08:35LITTLE TOWNS LIKE THIS, PLUNGE
00:08:36INTO POVERTY, ALCOHOLISM,
00:08:40SUICIDE, OPIOIDS, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE? RIGHT? WHY WAS THE
00:08:43OPIOID CRISIS WORSE IN COAL TOWNS? WEST VIRGINIA, NORTHWEST
00:08:47NEW MEXICO, SOUTHEAST, UH OHIO,
00:08:52BECAUSE THEY TOOK AWAY THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF LIVELIHOOD, RIGHT? WHO DID? THE PEOPLE WHO
00:08:56LIVED THERE KNOW? THE PEOPLE WHO
00:08:59LIVE IN PLACES LIKE THIS, THE PEOPLE WHO KNOW BETTER. WE KNOW
00:09:02HOW THE WORLD WORKS. AND CLIMATE CHANGE IS GOING TO KILL US. SO
00:09:06WE WILL DESTROY OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVELIHOODS. AND THAT'S WHAT POWER OF THE FUTURE IS ALL ABOUT. THAT WAS ONE OF THE TIMES
00:09:10I TESTIFIED BEFORE CONGRESS. UM,
00:09:11NO OFFENSE IF YOUR PARENTS ARE DENTISTS, TESTIFYING BEFORE
00:09:15CONGRESS IS WAY WORSE THAN GOING TO THE DENTIST. YOU SIT THERE FOR HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS,
00:09:18AND SOME OF THE DUMBEST PEOPLE ASK YOU THE MOST OBNOXIOUS
00:09:23THINGS. AND WHEN YOU TRY TO REPLY, THEY SAY, RECLAIMING MY
00:09:25TIME, RECLAIMING MY TIME, AND THEY POUND, RECLAIMING MY TIME.
00:09:28AND SO YOU SIT THERE FOR HOURS. YOU CAN'T GET UP EVEN TO GO TO
00:09:31THE BATHROOM. THEY DON'T EVEN VALIDATE PARKING, BUT YOU JUST
00:09:34SIT THERE HOUR AFTER HOUR AFTER
00:09:36HOUR, AND YOU LISTEN TO THESE MORONS, URBANITES WHO HAVE NO
00:09:39IDEA HOW THE WORLD WORKS, TELL YOU, AND POINT THEIR FINGER AND
00:09:43WAG AT YOU. IT'S ABSURD. BUT THAT'S WHAT WE DO FOR A LIVING.
00:09:46SO THIS IS NOT ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. THIS IS ABOUT THE
00:09:49POLITICS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. AND I'M GOING TO THROW OUT TO YOU,
00:09:52THERE ARE FIVE STEPS IN MAKING A POLITICAL CRISIS, FIVE STEPS IN
00:09:56MAKING A POLITICAL CRISIS. AND THE FIRST ONE IS, OF COURSE,
00:09:59FEAR. YOU HAVE TO SCARE THE CRAP OUT OF PEOPLE THAT THEY ARE
00:10:02GOING TO DIE. AND I HAVE BAD
00:10:06NEWS FOR YOU. WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE, RIGHT? NOTHING IS GOING
00:10:08TO CHANGE THAT. BUT MAYBE I CAN
00:10:12SCARE YOU INTO CHANGING SOMETHING, OR BUYING SOMETHING, OR THINKING DIFFERENTLY. IF I
00:10:16TELL YOU THAT WE'RE GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU ARE
00:10:18DOING. IT USED TO BE GLOBAL COOLING, RIGHT? THAT WAS COMMON.
00:10:21WE USED TO TALK ABOUT HOW THE SNOWS OF KILIMANJARO WOULD BE
00:10:25GONE BY 2020. 1989, THE UNITED
00:10:27NATIONS SAID THE MALDIVES WOULD
00:10:30BE UNDERWATER. THE MALDIVES
00:10:33WOULD BE UNDERWATER BY THE YEAR
00:10:352000. AND PEOPLE SAID, OH MY
00:10:37GOD, THE MALDIVES. MOST PEOPLE WHO WROTE THIS PROBABLY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THE HELL THE
00:10:41MALDIVES ARE, BUT THEY KNOW IT
00:10:42WILL BE UNDERWATER BY THE YEAR
00:10:452000. BARACK OBAMA PUSHED THIS REALLY HARD DURING HIS ADMINISTRATION. RIGHT? WE WERE
00:10:49GOING TO BE OUT OF GLACIERS, ALL
00:10:52OF GLACIER NATIONAL PARK CHANGED ALL THEIR SIGNS. NO MORE GLACIERS. THEY HAVE TO SCARE THE
00:10:56CRAP OUT OF PEOPLE. ONE OF YOUR FORMER CONTEMPORARIES, WHO USED
00:11:00TO BE HUGE IN THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT, UNTIL SHE JUMPED ON
00:11:03THE NEW FAD, WHICH IS HATE THE
00:11:05JEWS, RIGHT? GRETA IS NOW ON THE
00:11:09NEW TREND OF HATING ISRAEL. BUT BACK IN THE DAY, SHE WAS A
00:11:12CLIMATE EXPERT, AND SHE WROTE, I MEAN, YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS CRAP
00:11:16UP, SHE WROTE IN 2018, WHICH IF
00:11:18WE DO THE MATH RIGHT, WE HAVE
00:11:21FIVE YEARS UNTIL HUMANITY IS EXTINCT. SERIOUSLY? LIKE, THIS
00:11:25IS THE CRAP THAT YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH IN THE CLIMATE CHANGE,
00:11:28HOW TO MAKE A CRISIS. WE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE AFRAID. LOOK
00:11:31AT THIS CUTE LITTLE HAPPY MAP OF
00:11:35ENGLAND FROM THE 1980s. THIS IS THE WEATHER CHANNEL, RIGHT? I WON'T DO A BRITISH ACCENT IN
00:11:39LONDON. IT'S GOING TO BE THIS IN EXETER. IT'S GOING TO BE THIS IN STOCKHOLM. THAT'S
00:11:43SWEDEN. AND WHATEVER OTHER CITY IT'S GOING TO BE. THIS HAPPY
00:11:47LITTLE SUN, HAPPY LITTLE COLORS.
00:11:49LOOK AT THE CHART THEY USE NOW.
00:11:53LONDON WAS ACTUALLY TWO DEGREES CELSIUS WARMER. TWO DEGREES
00:11:56CELSIUS IS ABOUT 75°F. UM,
00:11:59THAT'S A JOKE. NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT THE CELSIUS SCALE IS.
00:12:02IT WAS HOTTER BACK THEN. LOOK AT
00:12:05THE HAPPY LITTLE SUN, RIGHT? IT
00:12:08LOOKS LIKE TELETUBBIES. AND LOOK
00:12:10AT THE ONE ON THE RIGHT. FEAR,
00:12:13WE HAVE TO SCARE YOU. YOU ARE ALL GOING TO DIE. SO NOW YOU'RE
00:12:17AFRAID. WELL, WE HAVE TO GIVE YOU SOME FACTS TO BACK UP OUR
00:12:20FEAR. SO THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION SPENT BILLIONS
00:12:23AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS ON RESEARCH ON SCIENTISTS. AND I
00:12:27GUARANTEE YOU, YOU THROW ME ANY
00:12:29AMOUNT OF MONEY, AND I WILL WRITE A SCIENTIFIC REPORT TO SAY
00:12:33WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANTED TO SAY, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW SCIENCE
00:12:36WORKS THESE DAYS. YOU GIVE ME $150 MILLION TO SAY, CLIMATE.
00:12:39I'LL GET YOU CLIMATE CHANGE. GIVE ME $150 MILLION TO SAY,
00:12:42REDHEADS ARE GONNA KILL. I'LL GET YOU 100 REDHEADS, WHATEVER
00:12:45THE HELL YOU WANT IT TO SAY. WITH ENOUGH MONEY, I CAN FIND
00:12:48YOU SCIENTISTS AND NUMBERS AND FACTS. BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THE
00:12:52SCIENCE COMMUNITY WORKS. AND WE'LL GET INTO MORE OF THIS IN
00:12:55A SECOND. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE WERE STUDIES THAT CAME OUT THAT
00:12:59HAVE COME OUT ABOUT HOW MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z ARE GOING
00:13:01TO DIE OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THERE WERE STUDIES ABOUT HOW AFRICAN
00:13:04AMERICANS ARE GOING TO DIE OF CLIMATE CHANGE. NO, THE ELDERLY
00:13:07ARE MORE AT RISK. NO. THE DISABLED? NO. OF COURSE WOMEN.
00:13:10NO. OF COURSE, THE LGBT COMMUNITY, EVERY COMMUNITY IS
00:13:13MORE AT RISK FROM CLIMATE CHANGE THAN EVERY OTHER COMMUNITY. AND YOU SAY, WELL, THIS IS ALL A
00:13:17LOAD OF CRAP. HOW CAN ALL OF THESE PEOPLE BE
00:13:20DISPROPORTIONATELY AFFECTED BY CLIMATE CHANGE? AGAIN, BECAUSE
00:13:23YOU PAID ME TO SAY THAT. SO I GOT IT FOR YOU, BABY. RIGHT? SO
00:13:26NOW YOU HAVE FEAR. NOW YOU HAVE
00:13:28SOME STUDIES, RIGHT? THE EXPERTS
00:13:32ALL SAY THERE WAS A REPORT JUST A COUPLE DAYS AGO. I ALMOST PUT
00:13:35MY NOTE HERE, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO CRUEL. AND NOW THAT I
00:13:38KNOW WE'RE LIVE ON TV, IT PROBABLY WAS A SMART IDEA. A
00:13:41STUDY CAME OUT JUST A COUPLE DAYS AGO THAT SAID THE WORLD
00:13:45POPULATION NEEDS TO HALF IN THE
00:13:47NEXT GENERATION. HALF, UM, BECAUSE OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
00:13:51THAT'S AROUND $4 BILLION. 4
00:13:53BILLION PEOPLE. AND I DID RETWEET. I WAS LIKE, GREAT.
00:13:56EVERY SCIENTIST WHO SAID THAT
00:13:58NEEDS, NEEDS TO TAKE HIS OWN LIFE, RIGHT? BECAUSE THAT'S THE
00:14:02ONLY SOLUTION. IF WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE OF CLIMATE CHANGE, UNLESS WE HAVE FEWER PEOPLE, WHO
00:14:06THE HELL ELSE SHOULD DIE? TELL ME, WHAT COUNTRY SHOULD WE
00:14:09ELIMINATE? AND OF COURSE, GRETA THUNBERG WOULD SAY ISRAEL, BUT
00:14:13THE REST OF US, WHAT COUNTRY SHOULD WE ELIMINATE? WHAT PEOPLE
00:14:16SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO REPRODUCE? IF YOU REALLY THINK
00:14:20THAT HUMANITY NEEDS TO END FROM
00:14:22CLIMATE CHANGE, THEN DO THE NOBLE THING. I'M SORRY, THAT
00:14:25SOUNDS HYPERBOLIC, OR EVEN
00:14:28WHILE. BUT THESE PEOPLE ARE THE VILE ONES. THEY'RE THE EVIL
00:14:31ONES. AND GOD ALMIGHTY, WE HAVE TO FIGHT THEM. SO NOW YOU NEED
00:14:35THE NARRATIVE, RIGHT? YOU'RE AFRAID. YOU HAVE YOUR STUDIES
00:14:38AND YOUR EXPERTS. SO NOW WE HAVE TO GET THE MESSAGE OUT. ONE OF
00:14:42THE MOST LOATHSOME MEN IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND IS JOHN
00:14:45KERRY. GOD ALMIGHTY. THE THINGS
00:14:46I COULD SAY ABOUT HIM, UM, JOHN KERRY WANTED THE MINISTRY OF
00:14:50TRUTH. BECAUSE WHEN IT COMES TO
00:14:52CLIMATE CHANGE, THE FIRST
00:14:56AMENDMENT IS A MAJOR STUMBLING BLOCK. THE FIRST AMENDMENT IS A
00:14:59STUMBLING BLOCK BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE ME SAY THESE THINGS. AND IF
00:15:02JOHN KERRY HAD HIS DRUTHERS, I
00:15:05WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED ON STAGE WITHOUT GETTING HAULED OFF IN
00:15:09HANDCUFFS, BECAUSE I'M A THREAT
00:15:09TO THE THREAT TO THE CAUSE, SAYS
00:15:13CHAIRMAN MAO. RIGHT. SOCIAL MEDIA USED TO CENSOR THIS CRAP
00:15:15ALL THE TIME. YOU CAN'T SAY THAT
00:15:17ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE. YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING.
00:15:21YOU CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT WIND IS CRAP. SOLAR IS CRAP. NOT ALLOWED
00:15:24TO SAY THAT OFF OUR PLATFORMS,
00:15:26RIGHT? CHUCK TODD, WHEN HE WAS THE HOST OF MSNBC, WILL NOT HAVE
00:15:30YOU ON MY SHOW. IF YOU'RE A CLIMATE CLIMATE DENIER, RIGHT?
00:15:33THE ASSOCIATED PRESS STARTED TAKING IN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
00:15:37HOW MANY MORE CLIMATE CHANGE STORIES DO WE NEED? $8 MILLION
00:15:40WORTH? MY ORGANIZATION OFFERED THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OFFER STILL
00:15:44STANDS. ASSOCIATED PRESS, THEY TOOK $8 MILLION FOR CLIMATE
00:15:48CHANGE STORIES. WE OFFERED THEM $8,000,001 FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF
00:15:51FOSSIL FUEL STORIES. RIGHT. I DON'T THINK THEY'RE GOING TO
00:15:53TAKE US UP ON THAT. UM, CONTROL
00:15:55THE NARRATIVE. RIGHT? WE CLIMATE
00:15:58DISINFORMATION AND TECH COMPANIES AREN'T DOING ENOUGH
00:16:01THAT YOU STILL THINK DIFFERENTLY IN CLIMATE DENIALISM, ALL THIS
00:16:04CRAP, YOU KNOW, THIS FEAR
00:16:07EVIDENCE NARRATIVE. NOW YOU HAVE TO PROPOSE SOMETHING, RIGHT?
00:16:11YOU'VE GOT TO DO YOUR PART TO SAY, OKAY, LOOK, WE HAVE A
00:16:14SOLUTION. THE SOLUTION IS WIND POWER. WELL, THIS IS ONE OF THE
00:16:18MANY THINGS YOU WILL FIND ON POWER OF THE FUTURE.COM THAT
00:16:21TALKS YOU THROUGH, FOR EXAMPLE, WIND, THE AMOUNT OF FOSSIL FUELS
00:16:24THAT GO INTO WIND, THAT VIRAL
00:16:26CLIP FROM THAT TV SHOW, LAND MAN, WHERE, WHERE BILLY BOB
00:16:30THORNTON IS TALKING TO THE ATTORNEY, SAYING, THESE THINGS ARE NEVER GOING TO OFFSET THE
00:16:33FOSSIL FUELS. THE WHOLE THING IS A LOAD OF CRAP. I WAS LIKE, OH MY GOD, THAT'S MY LINE. LIKE, I
00:16:37SHOULD, I SHOULD GET LIKE A, AT LEAST A WRITER'S NOTE IN THE
00:16:40CREDITS THAT, THAT, THAT BILLY
00:16:42BOB THORNTON, THAT, THAT TAYLOR SHERIDAN IS FOLLOWING ME ON
00:16:45SOCIAL MEDIA. I GUESS THE SOLUTIONS DON'T WORK. THE
00:16:49SOLUTIONS ARE CRAP, RIGHT? THE SOLUTIONS ARE SO STUPID THAT
00:16:53WE'RE USING MORE OF THESE RAW MATERIALS FOR WIND AND SOLAR,
00:16:55WHICH MEANS YOU NEED MORE FOSSIL
00:16:57FUELS TO EXCAVATE THEM. I GET REALLY SWEATY WHEN I TALK. ALSO, I APOLOGIZE, IT'S NOT JUST THE
00:17:01LIGHTS. I GET REALLY INVESTED,
00:17:03SO I'M GOING TO WIPE MY FACE. WE USE MORE FOSSIL FUELS, MORE
00:17:07OF THESE THINGS, SO WE'RE NOT REALLY SOLVING ANYTHING. AS THE
00:17:10GREAT THOMAS SOWELL ONCE SAID, THERE AREN'T SOLUTIONS. THERE
00:17:13ARE TRADE OFFS. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, RIGHT? THESE ARE STUPID
00:17:17SOLUTIONS FOR STUPID PEOPLE. THEY WILL TELL US, THESE MORONS,
00:17:20I HAVE TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS. AND I HAVE TO STOP SAYING THAT, BECAUSE I'M GOING
00:17:23TO GET SUBPOENAED AGAIN. AND NOW THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY THIS
00:17:26CLIP. AND, AND, AND THEN I'M GOING TO TRY TO EXPLAIN WHAT I
00:17:30DIDN'T MEAN. YOU, CONGRESSMAN, THEY'RE GOING TO SAY, RECLAIMING MY TIME. STUPID
00:17:33PEOPLE, STUPID SOLUTIONS FOR STUPID PEOPLE. THEY WILL TELL
00:17:36US, YOU CANNOT BURN FOSSIL FUELS
00:17:41TO MAKE ELECTRICITY. RIGHT? THAT IS BAD. YOU ALL HAVE LEARNED
00:17:44THAT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. WE CANNOT
00:17:47BURN FOSSIL FUELS TO MAKE ELECTRICITY. WHAT WE CAN DO IS
00:17:50BURN FOSSIL FUELS TO MAKE SOLAR PANEL AND COMMUNIST CHINA LOAD
00:17:54THEM ON BOATS THAT BURN HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF GALLONS OF
00:17:57DIESEL, YOU KNOW, TRANSPORT THEM ACROSS THE OCEAN, PUT THEM ON
00:18:01TRUCKS WHICH BURN MORE DIESEL,
00:18:03TURN OUR LANDSCAPES AND FARMLAND
00:18:06INTO SOLAR HELLSCAPES TO MAKE CRAPPY ELECTRICITY. AND THAT IS
00:18:09GREEN. AND YOU SAY THAT IS NOT A
00:18:12SOLUTION. THIS IS JUST ALL
00:18:16STUPIDITY. BUT YOU'RE AFRAID. WE
00:18:18HAVE STUDIES THAT SAY OTHERWISE.
00:18:21WE CONTROL WHAT YOU SAY AND WHAT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO SAY. ET CETERA, ET CETERA. AND THIS IS
00:18:25WHAT THE SOLUTION IS. WHO CARES IF THERE ARE 4000 CHILDREN
00:18:29ENSLAVED IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA? BECAUSE THAT COBALT HAS GOT TO
00:18:33COME FROM SOMEWHERE. AND BY GOD, THEY ARE NECESSARY CASUALTIES IN
00:18:37THE WAR ON CLIMATE CHANGE. HAS
00:18:40BONO WRITTEN A SONG ABOUT THEM? HAS ANYONE PROTESTED? WHERE'S
00:18:43LITTLE GRETA? RIGHT. WHAT? CONGRESSMAN RUNNING RIGHT NOW
00:18:46FOR OFFICE. WHAT SENATOR WAS
00:18:48LIKE. GOSAR HAS A HOLOCAUST. YOU
00:18:51KNOW, WHO'S HAVING A HOLOCAUST.
00:18:53THE SOUTH SUDAN, BUT NO ONE
00:18:56GIVES A BECAUSE CLIMATE CHANGE, WHO CARES? AND THEY'RE ONLY
00:18:59LITTLE BLACK KIDS, AND THERE ARE MILLIONS OF THEM. SO IF WE LOSE A COUPLE THOUSAND A YEAR,
00:19:03ACCORDING TO AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL, 4000 ARE
00:19:07ENSLAVED. AS WE TALK. THIS IS FOR A GOOD CAUSE, RIGHT? IT'S
00:19:11LIKE THE SCIENTISTS WHO SAY THAT HALF THE POPULATION HAS TO DIE
00:19:14FOR CLIMATE. IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE, RIGHT? I JUST SAY, YOU,
00:19:17YOU FIRST, AND THEN THE EXEMPTIONS. THIS IS THE FIFTH
00:19:21STEP. YOU GOT TO HAVE YOUR EXEMPTIONS. AND WHERE DO YOU SEE
00:19:24HOW THIS TIES IN? IN A COUPLE SECONDS. GONNA BLOW YOUR MIND. YOU'RE LIKE, WOW, THIS GUY,
00:19:28HE'S ON TO SOMETHING. EVERYONE WHO PUSHES THIS CRAP IS EXEMPT
00:19:32FROM IT. WHEN JOHN KERRY FLEW TO
00:19:35REYKJAVIK TO GET HIS AWARD FOR
00:19:37CLIMATE CHANGE BECAUSE THEY ALL LOVE AWARDS, I HAVEN'T GOTTEN A AWARD SINCE. LIKE, I WAS IN
00:19:41SEVENTH GRADE. AND I THINK I GOT, LIKE, TRIED THE HARDEST.
00:19:45UM, AND MOM STILL, I THINK MY BROTHERS, LIKE, THREW IT AWAY.
00:19:48LIKE WE'RE NOT HANGING UP THAT,
00:19:50THAT MEDAL, UM, JOHN KERRY FLEW
00:19:53TO REYKJAVIK IN ICELAND TO GET
00:19:55HIS CLIMATE AWARD. AND, AND A REPORTER. THERE ARE STILL SOME
00:19:59OUT THERE. NJSEA. THIS IS WHY WE NEED YOU GUYS. A REPORTER OUT
00:20:02THERE STOPPED HIM ON THE TARMAC AND >> SAID, SIR, YOU JUST FLEW IN A
00:20:05PRIVATE JET. WHAT'S THE DEAL? AND HE SAID, AND THAT HIS IS,
00:20:09QUOTE.
00:20:13>> THE ONLY SOMEONE LIKE ME WHO IS TRAVELING THE WORLD. IT'S THE ONLY. >> CHOICE. THE ONLY CHOICE FOR
00:20:16SOMEONE LIKE ME. SO WE LOOKED
00:20:18INTO THE EXACT DAY THAT JOHN
00:20:21KERRY. AND NO, THERE WERE TEN
00:20:24DIRECT FLIGHTS FROM THE EAST
00:20:26COAST OF AMERICA TO REYKJAVIK, A COUPLE EVEN FROM HIS HOMETOWN IN
00:20:30BOSTON, A COUPLE FROM D.C. IT WASN'T THE ONLY CHOICE. CAN I
00:20:33GO BACK? IT WASN'T THE ONLY CHOICE FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME. IT
00:20:37WAS THE BEST CHOICE. AND I DON'T BEGRUDGE JOHN KERRY HIS
00:20:41WEALTH. LORD KNOWS, I HATE FLYING. AND IF I HAD MADE MY
00:20:44MONEY THE WAY HE DID, WHICH IS
00:20:47MARRYING A RICH WIDOW, I WOULD
00:20:49ABSOLUTELY USE HER PRIVATE KETCHUP JET ALL THE TIME AS
00:20:52WELL. I DON'T BEGRUDGE HIM FOR
00:20:54FLYING PRIVATE FLY PRIVATE, BUT HE IS ADVOCATING FOR POLICIES
00:20:58THAT WILL DENY ALL OF US OUR
00:21:03CHOICES. HE IS EXEMPT. THEY'RE ALWAYS EXEMPT. FOR FOUR YEARS,
00:21:06WE WATCHED JOE BIDEN LEAVE EVERY SINGLE WEEKEND TO GO TO
00:21:10DELAWARE. THE ENTOURAGE OF MOVING THE PRESIDENT, THE
00:21:13AMBULANCES, THE HELICOPTERS,
00:21:15THE. THE POLICE MOTORCADES, AIR
00:21:20FORCE ONE, MARINE ONE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY TO ME, WELL, DONALD TRUMP DOES IT TO
00:21:23DONALD TRUMP ISN'T PUSHING THIS CRAP, BUT JOE BIDEN DID. HOW
00:21:26MANY TIMES DO YOU REMEMBER THE
00:21:27GENERALS SAY CLIMATE CHANGE IS
00:21:30THE BIGGEST NATIONAL SECURITY THREAT. WE FACE. THE GENERALS
00:21:33SAY, IF YOU BELIEVE THIS, SHOW
00:21:37ME ONE TIME, MR. PRESIDENT, JUST ONE FLIPPING TIME THAT YOU SAID,
00:21:40YOU KNOW WHAT? TO REDUCE MY CARBON FOOTPRINT. MY FAMILY AND
00:21:44I, WE'RE GOING TO STAY HERE FOR THE WEEKEND. I'M SURE THE WHITE
00:21:48HOUSE IS LOVELY, RIGHT? NO, NO,
00:21:50HE CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL HE WANTS BECAUSE HE'S PRESIDENT
00:21:53AND. SHUT UP. WRIGHT AL GORE. HE SAID SOMETHING YESTERDAY ABOUT
00:21:57DONALD TRUMP AS COMMITTING, UM, ENVIRONMENTAL JIHAD. AGAIN,
00:22:00EVERYONE, EVERYONE'S MUSLIM. UH,
00:22:05ENVIRONMENTAL JIHAD. AND AL GORE'S HOME. AGAIN, DON'T
00:22:07BEGRUDGE YOU YOUR WEALTH. AL, I
00:22:10WISH TO BE AS WEALTHY AS THESE FOLKS. ONE DAY, WORKING IN THE
00:22:13NONPROFIT WORLD. PROBABLY NOT GOING TO DO IT, BUT THEY'RE
00:22:16EXEMPT. BILL GATES BUILT HIS
00:22:18BILLION DOLLAR YACHT. AGAIN,
00:22:20DON'T BEGRUDGE YOU YOUR WEALTH,
00:22:23BUT THESE FOLKS PAY ACTIVISTS AND LUNATICS AND GRETAS TO KNOCK
00:22:27ON DOORS, TO THROW BRICKS THROUGH WINDOWS TO SCARE THE
00:22:30CRAP OUT OF YOU, TO FILL ALL OF
00:22:34YOUR YOUR ENGLISH BOOKS AND YOUR MATH BOOKS AND YOUR KINDERGARTEN BOOKS YOUR WHOLE LIFE. WE'RE
00:22:38GONNA DIE OF CLIMATE CHANGE. WE'RE GONNA DIE OF CLIMATE
00:22:41CHANGE. AND THIS IS THE LIFE THEY LIVE. THIS WAS MY FAVORITE
00:22:44EXEMPTION. COP 30 LAST NOVEMBER,
00:22:46THEY CUT DOWN EIGHT MILES, EIGHT
00:22:50SQUARE MILES OF THE AMAZON. DO YOU REMEMBER? THAT WAS WHEN JOE BIDEN GOT, SORRY, TWO YEARS AGO.
00:22:54THAT WAS WHEN JOE BIDEN GOT LOST IN THE AMAZON, REMEMBER? LIKE, HE JUST STARTED WALKING AWAY AND
00:22:57THEY WERE LIKE, DON'T GO IN
00:23:00THERE LIKE, LIKE EIGHT SQUARE
00:23:02MILES. THEY, THEY LEVELED, THEY
00:23:05LEVELED. POPE FRANCIS, MAY HE
00:23:07REST IN PEACE. I'M A GOOD
00:23:10CATHOLIC. WAS A HARD RELATIONSHIP. HE WOULD ALWAYS
00:23:12TALK ABOUT THE AMAZON, THE LUNGS
00:23:16OF THE EARTH, WHICH IS A VERY STUPID PHRASE. UM, THE LUNGS OF
00:23:19THE EARTH. THE LUNGS OF THE EARTH. WELL, WE JUST BULLDOZED EIGHT SQUARE MILES OF IT. WHY?
00:23:23WE HAVE A CONFERENCE. THEY
00:23:27COULDN'T HAVE USED THIS ROOM, RIGHT? NO, THEY NEEDED THEY
00:23:29NEEDED TO BULLDOZE FOR THEIR
00:23:32CONFERENCE. LET'S APPLY THIS TO ANOTHER ISSUE, BECAUSE THIS IS A
00:23:35THIS IS THE, THE, THE, UM, THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD, RIGHT. LIKE
00:23:38YOU HAVE A HYPOTHESIS AND YOU PUT SOME EXPERIMENT TO IT, BUT
00:23:41YOU HAVE TO APPLY IT TO SOMETHING ELSE. OTHERWISE, THIS IS JUST ONE LITTLE CONTROL GROUP
00:23:45AND IT DOESN'T COUNT. SO LET'S
00:23:48FIND ANOTHER CRISIS AND SEE IF THESE FIVE CRITERIA STILL WORK.
00:23:52AND OF COURSE, THE CRISIS WHICH
00:23:54DESTROYED ALL OF YOUR CHILDHOOD
00:23:56AND OUR ECONOMY IS COVID. YOU
00:23:59HAVE TO SCARE THE CRAP OUT. AND
00:24:01WE WERE AFRAID, GOD ALMIGHTY, WERE WE AFRAID? PEOPLE WERE
00:24:05PETRIFIED. THERE WAS PANIC
00:24:07WORLDWIDE, PANIC ABOUT COVID.
00:24:09WAS IT ORCHESTRATED? WAS SOMEONE PROFITING? WAS THERE A MOTIVE IN
00:24:13MIND? THERE WAS LOTS OF EVIDENCE. EVERY SINGLE GROUP WAS
00:24:16MORE AT RISK OF COVID THAN EVERY OTHER GROUP. YOU KNOW, I'M JUST
00:24:20PUTTING ONE EXAMPLE HERE, BUT YOU CAN FIND EVERY SINGLE RACE,
00:24:23EVERY SINGLE GENDER. TRANSGENDERS WERE MORE AT RISK
00:24:26OF COVID THAN NON-TRANSGENDER PEOPLE. AND YOU SAY, HOW IS THAT
00:24:30POSSIBLE? BECAUSE THE SCIENTISTS
00:24:31GOT $400,000 TO SAY SO. THAT'S
00:24:34WHY THERE WAS EVIDENCE LEFT AND
00:24:36RIGHT TO TO BACK UP THE FEAR,
00:24:40THE NARRATIVE, NOT ALLOWED TO SAY THAT. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. NOW, AS YOU WATCH
00:24:43THESE DR. FAUCI HEARINGS. ET CETERA. ET CETERA. NOT ALLOWED
00:24:45TO SAY THAT. NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE THAT OPINION. CANCEL THAT EMAIL.
00:24:48SHUT THAT PERSON DOWN. TAKE AWAY THAT PERSON'S LICENSE TO
00:24:52PRACTICE MEDICINE. YOU. I'M POINTING AT YOU, DOCTOR. TAKE
00:24:56AWAY THAT PERSON'S LICENSE TO PRACTICE MEDICINE. HOLY CRAP,
00:24:58BECAUSE I, I QUESTIONED
00:25:01SOMETHING. YES. YOU ARE AFRAID WE HAVE PROOF AS TO WHY. SHUT
00:25:05THE HELL UP. SOLUTIONS. THE SOLUTIONS IN COVID WERE THE
00:25:09BEST. THEY'RE AS STUPID. REMEMBER THE ONE THING I TOLD YOU? THE SOLAR THING I TOLD YOU.
00:25:13LIKE THESE SOLUTIONS ARE STUPID. THEY DON'T MAKE SENSE. LOOK AT THE COVID SOLUTIONS THAT WERE
00:25:17OFFERED TO US. HOW MANY OF YOU REMEMBER THE PLEXIGLASS BETWEEN
00:25:20YOUR. HOW MANY OF YOU DID BAND PRACTICE WITH A SLIT IN THE
00:25:24MASK? AND YOU'RE LIKE, THIS IS MY FAVORITE SOLUTION WAS I STILL
00:25:27TRAVEL DURING COVID BECAUSE I HAVE TO DO MY JOB AND I GOTTA
00:25:30EAT. AND WE WOULD, WE WOULD BE ON THE JET BRIDGE IN THOSE
00:25:34CIRCLES, RIGHT? AND YOU HAD TO STAND SIX FEET APART, AND THEN
00:25:36YOU COULD ALL TAKE A STEP FORWARD, RIGHT? AND TAKE A STEP
00:25:39FORWARD. AND THEN WE'D GET ON THE PLANE AND SIT SHOULDER TO
00:25:43SHOULDER, AND YOU'D SAY, WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT CHARADE IN THE
00:25:47JET BRIDGE? AND THEN THE PLANE WOULD LAND, AND YOU'D GET UP AND THEY'D BE LIKE, SURE, IN
00:25:51ROW FOUR, COULD YOU BE SEATED?
00:25:52WE WILL GET UP ONE ROW AT A
00:25:55TIME. SO YOU SIT BACK DOWN AND YOU'RE. >> WEARING YOUR MASKS.
00:25:58>> BUT YOU CAN TAKE OFF TO EAT, RIGHT? OF COURSE, THAT'S THE SOLUTION. AND SO YOU SIT BACK
00:26:02DOWN AND THEY'RE LIKE, OKAY,
00:26:04NOW YOUR ROW CAN GET UP. WHY? I'VE BEEN SITTING BEHIND THIS
00:26:08WOMAN FOR THE LAST FOUR HOURS.
00:26:10WHAT'S THE HELL IS IT? THAT'S THE SOLUTION. AND YOU'RE AFRAID.
00:26:14AND I HAVE PROOF AS TO WHY. AND WE CONTROL WHAT YOU SAY AND
00:26:17THINK, AND THIS IS HOW WE'RE GOING TO FIX THIS. SHUT THE HELL
00:26:20UP, OTHERWISE. AND, OF COURSE, THE EXEMPTIONS. EVERYONE WAS
00:26:24EXEMPTED FROM COVID. EVERYONE WHO WAS POWERFUL COULD GET THEIR
00:26:27HAIRCUT, COULD GO TO RESTAURANTS, MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM, THE GOVERNOR OF NEW
00:26:31MEXICO. PROBABLY MY FAVORITE STORY. IS THAT WHAT SHE SHUT
00:26:34DOWN SHOPPING DURING CHRISTMAS
00:26:37TIME? BUT SHE REOPENED SOME STORES FOR HER PERSONAL
00:26:40SHOPPING, RIGHT? SHE HAD TO GO
00:26:42SHOPPING. SHE HAD TO BUY GIFTS.
00:26:45AND SHE'S THE GOVERNOR. AND SHUT UP. THAT'S COVID, RIGHT?
00:26:49BARACK OBAMA'S 60th BIRTHDAY,
00:26:52NANTUCKET, MARTHA'S VINEYARD,
00:26:54WHEREVER IT IS, HAS A RULE NO
00:26:56GATHERINGS. UH, IT'S MY 60th. I'M THE PRESIDENT. OKAY. YOU
00:26:59CAN HAVE A GATHERING, AND THE PRIVATE JETS CAN LAND. AND WHEN
00:27:02HE WAS ASKED, HIS PRESS
00:27:05SECRETARY SAID, WELL, THAT'S A
00:27:07VERY SOPHISTICATED CROWD. OH, SO
00:27:10SOPHISTICATED PEOPLE CAN HAVE PARTIES, BUT THE REST OF US
00:27:12CAN'T. YOU HAD A PARTY. YOU GOT ARRESTED. HOW MANY? REMEMBER
00:27:15THAT MOM WHO WAS ARRESTED, CHEERING ON HER SON AT A FOOTBALL GAME BECAUSE SHE
00:27:19WASN'T WEARING. SHE WAS, LIKE, ALONE IN THE UPPER STANDS BY
00:27:22HERSELF, BUT SHE WAS NOT WEARING
00:27:25A MASK. AND SOMEONE SIC THE POLICE AFTER HER. WHY ARE WE
00:27:28TALKING ABOUT COVID? BECAUSE THIS IS THE CRAP THEY'VE BEEN DOING FOR 30, 40 YEARS ON
00:27:32CLIMATE. AND THIS IS THE POLITICS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. WE
00:27:36HAVEN'T EVEN TALKED ABOUT IF THERE'S CLIMATE CHANGE OR NOT.
00:27:38AGAIN, WE CAN DON'T CARE FOR
00:27:41THIS AUDIENCE. I CARE THAT YOU HAVE TO KNOW, AS YOU GROW IN
00:27:44YOUR LIFE AND IN YOUR POLITICS, AND IN YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE WAY THE WORLD WORKS, THAT THERE
00:27:48IS AN ORCHESTRATED CAMPAIGN TO GET YOU TO THINK A CERTAIN WAY.
00:27:51WHY DO I FIGHT FOR FOSSIL FUEL WORKERS? AND I'M GOING TO GO QUICK, BECAUSE I WANT TO GIVE
00:27:55PLENTY OF TIME FOR Q&A, BECAUSE I HAVE A FEELING THERE'LL BE SOME. WHY DO I FIGHT FOR FOSSIL
00:27:59FUEL WORKERS? IS BECAUSE IT'S A THOROUGHLY AMERICAN INDUSTRY
00:28:03THAT CREATED OUR MIDDLE CLASS LIFE BEFORE FOSSIL FUELS, LIFE
00:28:06BEFORE THE INDUSTRIAL INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION WAS HELL. YOU WERE
00:28:09POOR. YOU WERE SICK. YOU WERE TIRED. YOU WERE AFRAID. IF YOU
00:28:13WERE A WOMAN, YOU WERE IN
00:28:14DANGER. THERE WERE THE RICH, AND THEN THERE WAS EVERYBODY ELSE.
00:28:18AND THE RICH WAS THE DUKE OF WHATEVER LAND, OR THE EARL OF
00:28:21WHATEVER, OR WHOEVER OWNED THIS LAND, WHERE YOU ARE A
00:28:23SUBSISTENCE FARMER. AND LIFE WAS MISERABLE UNTIL THIS HAPPENED.
00:28:27AND THEN ALL THESE GENIUSES
00:28:29CREATED THINGS, AND THOSE THINGS CREATED THINGS AND CREATED
00:28:33THINGS. AND SUDDENLY YOUR AVERAGE PERSON HAD A PRETTY DARN
00:28:35GOOD QUALITY OF LIFE. SUDDENLY, THINGS LIKE POVERTY REDUCED TO
00:28:39NOTHING. WE DO NOT HAVE POVERTY
00:28:41IN AMERICA. DON'T LET THE
00:28:44COMMUNISTS TAKING OVER THE DEMOCRAT PARTY AND TRYING TO TAKE OVER AMERICA, CONVINCE YOU
00:28:49THAT WE HAVE THIS CRAZY POVERTY
00:28:51IN AMERICA. OUR POOR PEOPLE'S BIGGEST PROBLEM IS OBESITY. THAT
00:28:54IS A SHAME, AND IT'S A TRAGIC.
00:28:56BUT THAT IS AN INDICATION OF OF
00:29:00THE LARGESSE OF THE OF THE ABUNDANCE THAT WE HAVE IN
00:29:03AMERICA. AMERICA HAS NO POVERTY.
00:29:05WHY? BECAUSE WE HAVE CREATED AN
00:29:09INDUSTRY THAT HAS CREATED OPPORTUNITY, THAT HAS ALLOWED
00:29:10THE AVERAGE PERSON. YOU ARE NOT
00:29:13IN A FIELD 14 HOURS A DAY. YOU
00:29:16ARE NOT STUCK IN SOME SMALL TOWN, STARVING AND POOR BECAUSE
00:29:20OF THIS GREAT INDUSTRY WHICH IS UNDER ATTACK. MAYBE THAT'S WHY
00:29:24IT IS UNDER ATTACK, NOT JUST EXTREME POVERTY, ILLITERACY, INFANT MORTALITY, FOOD
00:29:27PRODUCTION IS UP. SO IS CLIMATE
00:29:31CHANGE REAL? THE CLIMATE CHANGE FOLKS WILL TELL YOU THAT SINCE THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, THE
00:29:35EARTH HAS ONE DEGREE, MAYBE TWO DEGREES CELSIUS WARMER. AGAIN,
00:29:38NO ONE REALLY KNOWS WHAT THE
00:29:40HELL THAT MEANS. AND OCEANS ARE
00:29:43SIX INCHES HIGHER. I HAVEN'T SEEN THE EVIDENCE. I HAVEN'T MEASURED, BUT I WILL SAY, OKAY,
00:29:47I AGREE WITH YOU 100%. ONE
00:29:51DEGREE CELSIUS, SIX INCHES HIGHER OCEAN. I'LL TAKE IT
00:29:54RIGHT. I'LL TAKE IT FOR THE FACT THAT OUR AVERAGE AMERICAN
00:29:58CITIZEN HAS AN AMAZING LIFESTYLE, HAS FREEDOM, HAS OPPORTUNITY. I SAID WE'D GET
00:30:02BACK TO IT. WHEN THOMAS JEFFERSON WROTE ABOUT THIS,
00:30:05RIGHT? HE TOOK FROM THE LOCK, WHICH WAS ORIGINALLY LIFE,
00:30:09LIBERTY, AND PROPERTY, AND THEY CHANGED IT TO PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. AND WE CAN TALK ABOUT
00:30:12THAT IN ANOTHER SHOW. BUT HOW DO YOU PURSUE YOUR HAPPINESS IN
00:30:15AMERICA WITHOUT THE TOOLS TO BE HAPPY IF YOU DON'T HAVE A HOME,
00:30:19IF YOU DON'T HAVE COMFORT, IF YOU DON'T HAVE APPLIANCES, IF
00:30:22YOU DON'T HAVE FOOD, AND ALL THE FOOD PACKAGING THAT GOES
00:30:25WITH IT. EVERY TIME I SEE SOME YAHOO THAT SAYS WE HAVE TO GET
00:30:28RID OF SINGLE USE PLASTIC, I SAY, LOVELY, COME WITH ME TO THE
00:30:32BUTCHER, GET A RAW CHICKEN IN
00:30:35YOUR CLOTH. UH, TOWEL AND BRING THAT RAW CHICKEN HOME. RIGHT.
00:30:39AND THEN YOU FIGURE OUT HOW TO
00:30:40WASH THAT CLOTH TOWEL WITHOUT
00:30:43TIDE PODS, A WASHING MACHINE. ET CETERA. ET CETERA. THAT'S WHAT
00:30:47FOSSIL FUELS ARE. HAVE A BABY
00:30:49WITH EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA WITHOUT SINGLE USE PLASTICS, RIGHT. THIS
00:30:53IS THIS IS WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST OF THE PEOPLE WHO SAY,
00:30:56WELL, WE WANT SOME OF THAT. NO, WE WANT ALL OF IT BECAUSE WE
00:30:59WANT ABUNDANCE AND TO PURSUE HAPPINESS FOR OUR FAMILIES AND,
00:31:02OF COURSE, OUR HEALTH CARE AND OUR MEDICINE. AND I PUT THERE IN RED DAD'S LAST DAYS, DAD'S
00:31:06THREE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF DYING WAS JUST A COUPLE DAYS AGO. LOVE
00:31:10YOU DAD. UM, AND A LOT OF YOU
00:31:13HAVE BEEN IN THE HOSPITAL. YOU'VE SEEN LOVED ONES MAYBE
00:31:16DIE, AND YOU TAKE YOUR WORK WITH YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO. I CERTAINLY TAKE MINE. I REMEMBER
00:31:19BEING WITH DAD IN THE HOSPITAL, AND I REMEMBER LOOKING AT THE
00:31:22PORT IN HIS ARM. RIGHT. AND IN
00:31:25THAT PORT IS YOU HAVE THIS THIN
00:31:27NEEDLE, RIGHT? AND IT'S STEEL.
00:31:31AND IT'S, AND IT'S HOLLOW, AND IT'S RAZOR SHARP, SO SHARP THAT
00:31:34YOU CAN PUT IT IN YOUR VEIN AND YOU CAN'T EVEN FEEL IT. AND
00:31:38IT'S FORGED FROM COAL, AND IT COMES FROM COAL. AND ATTACHED TO
00:31:41THAT IS TUBING, WHICH IS PLASTIC, NON-POROUS, NONTOXIC,
00:31:45HOLLOW. AND THAT COMES FROM OIL.
00:31:48AND IN THAT TUBING IS SOME
00:31:50DERIVATIVE OF NATURAL GAS, WHICH
00:31:53GIVES CALM AND PEACE. AND DAD DIED IN DIGNITY THAT HENRY THE
00:31:57EIGHTH WOULD HAVE LONGED FOR. THAT IS FOSSIL FUELS. IT IS
00:32:01ABSOLUTE HUMAN DIGNITY FOR THE AVERAGE AMERICAN PERSON THAT WE
00:32:04ARE FIGHTING AGAINST. AND THAT'S WHY WE DO >> [APPLAUSE] >> THIS. >> [APPLAUSE]
00:32:08>> I'LL LEAVE WITH THIS NOT BAD
00:32:12TIMING FOR THE BACKSTAGE CREW. I SAID I'D BE GOOD. I'LL LEAVE WITH THIS. THAT'S MY LITTLE
00:32:15SHEEP FARM IN RURAL VIRGINIA.
00:32:17UM, IN. IT'S, UH, LOVE THAT PHOTO IN FALL. IT WILL LOOK LIKE
00:32:21THAT IN A COUPLE MORE WEEKS, BUT WE'LL GO BACK TO THOMAS
00:32:24JEFFERSON, AND I'LL READ IT WITH YOU, BECAUSE HE'S OUTSIDE
00:32:28OF GEORGE WASHINGTON. HE'S, OF COURSE, MY FAVORITE VIRGINIAN. UM, AND THIS IS JUST AN AMAZING
00:32:32QUOTE FROM THOMAS JEFFERSON. I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR OF
00:32:35GOD. YOU'RE STARTING OFF GOOD. WHEN YOU SWEAR ON THE ALTAR OF GOD. I HAVE SWORN UPON THE ALTAR
00:32:39OF GOD. ETERNAL HOSTILITY
00:32:42AGAINST EVERY FORM OF TYRANNY.
00:32:46BUT NOTE THIS OVER THE MIND OF
00:32:49MAN. WE TALKED ABOUT THE
00:32:51POLITICS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. WE TALKED ABOUT THE THE
00:32:54INTELLECTUAL FIGHT TO GET YOU TO
00:32:55THINK, BELIEVE, DO ACT A CERTAIN
00:32:59WAY. AND 226 YEARS AGO, ALMOST
00:33:02226 YEARS AGO, THOMAS JEFFERSON REALIZED THAT TYRANNY OVER THE
00:33:06MIND OF MAN. THIS IS WHY YAF IS
00:33:09SO IMPORTANT THAT YOU. YOU THINK FREELY. YOU COME TO YOUR OWN
00:33:12CONCLUSIONS FREELY, AND YOU IDENTIFY THOSE PEOPLE WHO WILL
00:33:16TRY TO SCARE YOU, WHO WILL TRY TO GIVE YOU BOGUS STUDIES, WHO
00:33:19WILL TRY TO FORCE YOU TO SPEAK AND SAY AND BELIEVE AND THINK A
00:33:23CERTAIN WAY. UM, AND WHO WILL, OF COURSE, EXEMPT THEMSELVES
00:33:25FROM THAT LIFESTYLE. THIS IS WHY YAF IS SO IMPORTANT IN THIS
00:33:29ORGANIZATION IS SO IMPORTANT. I LOVE BEING HERE WITH YOU, AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE >> [APPLAUSE]
00:33:32>> YOUR QUESTIONS.
00:33:35>> [APPLAUSE]
00:33:39>> HELLO EVERYONE. WE WILL NOW HEAD INTO A Q&A. IF YOU WOULD
00:33:42LIKE TO ASK A BRIEF QUESTION, PLEASE LINE UP BEHIND MARIA HERE
00:33:45WITH THE LINE WRAPPING AROUND THAT SIDE. >> OH BOY. I'LL BE QUICK IN MY
00:33:49ANSWERS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AS WELL. I CAN BE VERY VERBOSE.
00:33:52>> HI, MY NAME IS WILLIAM KWAN. I'M FROM TENNESSEE AND I'M
00:33:56HEADED TO MTSU LATER THIS MONTH. UH, MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, I'VE SEEN MANY, MANY PEOPLE I KNOW
00:34:00GET CAUGHT UP IN DIFFERENT CRISES, BOTH GENERATED BY THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT. SURE. HOW DO
00:34:04YOU GO ABOUT ATTACKING CRISES
00:34:06AND LIKE, BASICALLY SHOWING THAT THEY'RE SILLY, LIKE YOU DO? WHAT'S THE BEST SYSTEM?
00:34:10>> WELL, IDENTIFY THESE FIVE THINGS AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHO'S PROFITING OFF OF THAT.
00:34:14SOMEONE IS ALWAYS TRYING TO MAKE MONEY, RIGHT? THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PUSHING WIND AND SOLAR ARE
00:34:17INVESTED IN WIND AND SOLAR, AND I DON'T BLAME THEM FOR TRYING
00:34:20TO MAKE MONEY. EVERYONE HAS TO MAKE MONEY. BUT IF YOU'RE TRYING
00:34:23TO, YOU KNOW, SCARE PEOPLE INTO BUYING YOUR PRODUCT, LIKE I
00:34:26BEGAN WITH, BUY THOSE INSTAGRAM ADS, YOUR PILLOW IS KILLING YOU.
00:34:30YOU JUST WANT ME TO BUY YOUR PILLOW, RIGHT? I'M SURE IT'S A GREAT PILLOW, BUT DON'T TELL ME
00:34:33I AM AT RISK ALL THE TIME. IDENTIFY WHAT THE MOTIVE IS BEHIND ALL OF THAT. VERY FEW
00:34:37PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU A CERTAIN.
00:34:40YOUR PARENTS. VERY FEW PEOPLE WILL TELL YOU A CERTAIN TRUTH WITH NO AGENDA. RIGHT? YOU HOPE
00:34:44YOUR CHURCH OR YOUR HOUSE OF WORSHIP TELLS YOU THAT. YOU HOPE
00:34:47YOUR MOM AND DAD TELL YOU THAT MOST OTHER PEOPLE HAVE AN
00:34:51AGENDA. THAT'S WHY YAF IS IMPORTANT TO FORM YOUR MIND, TO
00:34:53SEE WHAT THE AGENDA IS. MAKE
00:34:58>> [APPLAUSE] >> SURE. >> [APPLAUSE] >> HELLO, MY NAME IS MALALAI
00:35:01WASIQ. I ATTEND STANISLAUS STATE UNIVERSITY IN THE GREAT STATE OF
00:35:05CALIFORNIA, AND I'M AN INTERN AT THE REAGAN RANCH. >> VERY GOOD. I LOVED REAGAN
00:35:09RANCH. >> MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, HOW CAN AG COMMUNITIES, AND
00:35:12SPECIFICALLY RURAL COMMUNITIES PROTECT PRIME AG LAND WHILE
00:35:15FACING POTENTIAL MANDATES LIKE
00:35:18>> THAT'S A GREAT ONE. BAND TOGETHER IS YOUR BEST WAY. UM, SOME OF THE ELECTION RESULTS
00:35:22THAT WE JUST SAW, AND YOU'RE DEVASTATED AND YOU REALIZE 7% OF
00:35:26THE PEOPLE VOTED, 5% OF THE PEOPLE VOTED. WE ARE BUSY ON OUR
00:35:30FARMS AND WE'RE TIRED. WE HAD OUR VIRGINIA PRIMARY ON TUESDAY, AND AT ONE POINT, I WAS LIKE,
00:35:34OH, WE GOT TO GO VOTE. LIKE, YOU
00:35:36KNOW, OF COURSE I WANT TO DO MY PART, BUT I GOT A LOT OF STUFF
00:35:39TO DO. FARMERS DON'T. WHO INTRODUCED ME SAID, LIKE, HOW'S
00:35:42YOUR SUMMER? AND I THOUGHT IT WAS SWEET BECAUSE I WAS LIKE, MY SUMMER IS NO DIFFERENT THAN
00:35:45EVERY, EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR. LIKE, ALL WE DO IS WORK. BUT
00:35:49THAT DOESN'T MEAN WE, WE, WE HAVE TO, WE CAN'T LET THESE
00:35:51OPPORTUNITIES PASS US UP, BAND TOGETHER. AND IF YOU HAVE TO BE
00:35:55THE FIRST ONE, THEN YOU BE THE FIRST ONE. AND YOU GET FOR NEIGHBORS AND YOU SAY, THIS IS
00:35:58WHAT WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT AGAINST. AND YOU HAUL THAT. CONGRESSMAN, AGAIN, SORRY TO
00:36:02KEEP POKING AT YOU, CONGRESS, BUT THIS IS YOUR JOB. YOU HAUL
00:36:05THAT PERSON BEFORE YOU BECAUSE YOUR CONGRESSPERSON WOULD MUCH
00:36:07RATHER TALK ABOUT GAZA. AND
00:36:11CLIMATE, OR, YOU KNOW, TRANSGENDER ISSUES. AND IT'S LIKE, NO, WE NEED YOU TO TALK
00:36:14ABOUT OUR FARMLAND HERE. LIKE YOU RAN FOR CONGRESS TO
00:36:18REPRESENT US. THIS IS US. IF YOU
00:36:22DON'T REPRESENT US, WE ARE GOING TO GET RID OF YOU. SCARE THE HECK OUT OF YOUR CONGRESS
00:36:25PEOPLE, BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR JOB. AND I THINK RURAL AMERICANS
00:36:28BIGGEST MISTAKE, IF ANYTHING, IS THAT THEY'RE JUST OVERLY BUSY
00:36:31TO ORGANIZE LIKE THAT. IT'S SOMETHING I ALWAYS ADMIRE ABOUT
00:36:34THE LEFT. THEY, THEY GET THEIR
00:36:39VOTE OUT RIDICULOUSLY. WE NEED TO FOLLOW THAT EXAMPLE. SO THAT'S HOW YOU DO IT. >> THANK >> [APPLAUSE]
00:36:42>> YOU SO MUCH. >> [APPLAUSE] >> SURE. >> [APPLAUSE]
00:36:45>> IT IS HOT UP HERE. >> HOWDY. MY NAME IS CAROLINE.
00:36:48I'M FROM TEXAS, A AND M, AND
00:36:51SORRY, I LOVE IT. AND SO VERY
00:36:54OFTEN I FIND THAT THE RURAL
00:36:57LIFESTYLE IN AMERICA IS BEING
00:36:59VILIFIED BY PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND NECESSARILY WHAT IT
00:37:02IS TO LIVE OUTSIDE OF A CITY. SO MY QUESTION FOR YOU IS, HOW CAN
00:37:06I WORK IN ORDER TO BRIDGE THE
00:37:10GAP AND UNDERSTANDING FOR PEOPLE WHO MAYBE HAVE NEVER LEFT A CITY, TO UNDERSTAND THE HARD
00:37:14WORK THAT GOES INTO BEING INVOLVED IN AG AND LIVING A RURAL LIFE?
00:37:18>> THAT IS A GREAT QUESTION. TELL THEM TO WATCH. CLARKSON'S
00:37:21FARM IS A GOOD STEP. >> [APPLAUSE]
00:37:23>> UM, I WAS ACTUALLY JUST IN THE UK TWO WEEKS AGO, AND WE GOT
00:37:26TO GO, WELL, MY BETTER HALF AND I GOT TO GO SEE CLARKSON'S FARM
00:37:30AND IT WAS AWESOME. WE NEED A CLARKSON'S FARM AMERICAN
00:37:33VERSION. UM, INVITE THEM IF
00:37:35POSSIBLE. RIGHT. AND TRY TO EXPLAIN TO THEM WHERE THINGS
00:37:38COME FROM. UM, THAT'S THE HARDEST THING. AGAIN, I DON'T
00:37:41BEGRUDGE URBANITES. I WAS ACTUALLY BORN AND RAISED IN NEW YORK CITY. MY ENTIRE FAMILY IS
00:37:44STILL THERE IN MY HEART. I GUESS I'M ALWAYS GOING TO BE A CITY
00:37:47KID, ALTHOUGH I IDENTIFY NOW AS A VIRGINIA FARM BOY. RIGHT. UM,
00:37:51BUT YOU HAVE TO SHOW THEM THAT. TAKE THEM THERE AS MUCH AS
00:37:54POSSIBLE. UM, IT'S AN EDUCATIONAL THING, WITHOUT A
00:37:57DOUBT. AND IF THEY DON'T WANT TO
00:37:59GO, THEN TELL THEM TO STAY IN THEIR OWN BUSINESS. I'M NOT
00:38:03TELLING YOU HOW TO RUN CRIME IN YOUR HELLHOLE OF A CITY. THEN
00:38:06YOU DON'T TELL ME HOW I HAVE TO RUN MY FARM. RIGHT. AND BE A
00:38:09LITTLE DEFENSIVE. WE ARE KIND IN
00:38:12RURAL AMERICA, AND SOMETIMES WE LET PEOPLE WALK ON US. UM. BUT
00:38:15THEN YOU SEE THESE IDIOTS, ESPECIALLY THE CRAZY LEFTISTS WHO ARE LIKE, YOU KNOW, IF
00:38:19THERE'S A CIVIL WAR, I'M LIKE, IF THERE IS CIVIL WAR, WE HAVE THE WATER, THE FOOD, THE GUNS. I
00:38:22AM FINE WITH A CIVIL WAR. I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT BEING ON THE
00:38:26WRONG SIDE IN THE CIVIL WAR. UM,
00:38:27YOU ALL ARE GONNA DIE IN, LIKE,
00:38:31FIVE MINUTES BECAUSE STARBUCKS IS CLOSED, RIGHT? SO, SO THAT IS
00:38:34THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. SHOW THEM HOW, HOW YOUR, YOUR WAY OF
00:38:38LIFE IS JUST AS VALUABLE, EVEN IF IT'S NOT AS CELEBRATED. >> [APPLAUSE]
00:38:41>> THANK YOU.
00:38:48>> [APPLAUSE] >> SURE. >> HI, I'M JEREMY CARLTON, ALSO
00:38:51FROM TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY UH, DO
00:38:54YOU SEE ANY POLITICAL NARRATIVES
00:38:58COMING UP ABOUT DATA CENTERS? AND IF SO, HOW DO THEY RELATE TO
00:39:01THE CLIMATE CHANGE NARRATIVE? >> YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. WE ACTUALLY JUST PUT
00:39:05OUT A REPORT NOT LONG AGO ABOUT
00:39:07THE FUTURE.COM ON THE FOLKS WHO ARE FUNDING THE DATA CENTER
00:39:11NARRATIVE, AND HOW MUCH OF IT IS FUNDED FROM OVERSEAS. THERE'S A
00:39:14LOT IN DATA CENTERS TO BE SKEPTICAL ABOUT. I UNDERSTAND IT, I UNDERSTAND THE ELECTRICITY
00:39:18CONCERNS, THE LAND CONCERNS, THE WATER CONCERNS. THE POINT OF
00:39:21THIS REPORT WAS TO TELL PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY RURAL COMMUNITIES
00:39:25LIKE MINE, THAT, HEY, THESE FOLKS THAT SUDDENLY SHOW UP TO YOUR FARM AND KNOCK ON THE DOOR,
00:39:28AND THEY ALL HAVE THE CLIPBOARDS AND THE T-SHIRTS AND THE HATS, AND THEY'RE TELLING YOU THAT
00:39:32THEY WANT TO FIGHT FOR YOU. TWO YEARS AGO IN THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, THEY WERE
00:39:36TELLING YOU YOU HAD TO GET RID OF YOUR CAR. THEY WERE TELLING YOU HOW TO GET RID OF YOUR LEAF
00:39:40BLOWER. THEY WERE TELLING YOU, DATA CENTERS ARE THE NEWEST TACTIC IN THEIR ARSENAL. THEY
00:39:44HATE AMERICA. THEY HATE PROGRESS. THEY HATE FOSSIL FUELS. WITHOUT A DOUBT, THIS IS
00:39:48THE NEWEST THING. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT THEY ARE FINDING SOME
00:39:51ACCEPTANCE IN RURAL AMERICA, WHO IS UNDERSTANDABLY CONCERNED
00:39:55ABOUT THE TECH WORLD. YOU KNOW, HAS A LITTLE BIT OF CONCERNS
00:39:58ABOUT THEM, DOESN'T LIKE THE FACT THAT THEY'RE SHOWING UP TO
00:40:01THEIR TOWNS. SO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE PUSHING THE ANTI DATA CENTER
00:40:04MOVEMENT ARE NOT YOUR FRIEND. AND THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO MAKE CLEAR. THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M TELLING YOU YOU SHOULD SELL YOUR
00:40:08LAND TO A DATA CENTER. YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT. THIS IS FREEDOM AND THIS IS GREAT. BUT THE
00:40:11PEOPLE WHO ARE COMING, WHO ARE TRYING TO WHIP IT UP, AND THEY
00:40:15HAPPEN TO HAVE A NEW YORK TIMES REPORTER WITH THEM IN THE CAR,
00:40:18BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE THEY ARE
00:40:20TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PUSH AN AGENDA.
00:40:23AND THEY ARE NOT, AND THEY NEVER WILL BE YOUR FRIEND. SO JUST BE
00:40:26WEARY OF THEM. >> THANK YOU SIR. >> [APPLAUSE] >> SURE. >> [APPLAUSE]
00:40:30>> THANK YOU.
00:40:36>> [APPLAUSE] >> GOOD MORNING. MY NAME IS JOSHUA. I'M FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT GREENSBORO.
00:40:39THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SUCH AN INFORMATIVE SESSION THIS
00:40:41MORNING. THANK YOU. REALLY NICE TO HEAR THE HARD TRUTH. AND THIS EARLY IN THE MORNING.
00:40:45>> YEAH. >> SO TWO PRONGED QUESTIONS. >> OH, GOD.
00:40:49>> COME FROM A VERY RURAL COMMUNITY IN THE FOOTHILLS OF THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS IN NORTH CAROLINA.
00:40:52>> I CAN HEAR IT IN YOUR VOICE.
00:40:54>> YEAH, I GET IT, HONEST. THERE'S, I SEE SIGNS ALL OVER
00:40:57THE PLACE. AND LIKE THE, THE GUY
00:40:59WAS JUST SAYING, UM, AGAINST
00:41:03DATA CENTERS AND AGAINST, UM, THE BRINGING OF INDUSTRY AND THE
00:41:07BRINGING OF POWER PLANTS AND OF, OF DISTRIBUTION CENTERS AND ALL
00:41:10OF THESE THINGS. HOW DO YOU CONVINCE RURAL AMERICANS THAT IT
00:41:13MIGHT ACTUALLY BENEFIT THEM WITH MORE JOBS, MORE INDUSTRY, WITH
00:41:16MORE INNOVATION? YEAH. BY ALLOWING MORE BUSINESSES IN THE
00:41:19AREA. AND ALSO JUST KIND OF A
00:41:22PROXY QUESTION, HOW MUCH INVOLVEMENT FROM THE GOVERNMENT IS NECESSARY AND HOW MUCH IS TOO
00:41:26MUCH. >> ON DATA CENTERS OR JUST IN GENERAL.
00:41:30>> JUST IN GENERAL, WITH ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT? >> OH. >> NOT NONE. THE GOVERNMENT,
00:41:33WHEN THEY GET INVOLVED, THEY JUST RUIN >> [APPLAUSE] >> ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. >> [APPLAUSE] >> RIGHT?
00:41:37>> [APPLAUSE] >> RIGHT CREATE THE CONDITIONS FOR INDUSTRY TO FLOURISH. JUST
00:41:41TO ANSWER THE SECOND QUESTION FIRST, IF I MAY, WE GIVE
00:41:45PRESIDENT TRUMP ALL THE CREDIT IN THE WORLD FOR WHAT HE HAS USHERED IN IN TERMS OF ENERGY
00:41:48DOMINANCE. BUT I REMIND PEOPLE ALL THE TIME WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP'S TRUE GENIUS, AND THAT
00:41:52HE GETS NO CREDIT FOR. AND WHEN
00:41:55IT COMES TO ENERGY, IS ACTUALLY HIS HUMILITY. DONALD TRUMP DID
00:41:58NOT SAY, LIKE, I KNOW HOW TO PRODUCE OIL AND GAS. HE SAID, YOU GUYS KNOW HOW TO PRODUCE OIL
00:42:02AND GAS. I'M GOING TO GET THE GOVERNMENT THE HELL OUT OF YOUR
00:42:05WAY TO DO IT. RIGHT. WE DID NOT SUDDENLY DISCOVER SOME NEW OIL PATCH OR CREATE SOME NEW
00:42:09TECHNOLOGY. THE PRESIDENT WAS HUMBLE ENOUGH TO SAY, THESE GUYS
00:42:11KNOW HOW TO DO THEIR JOB, AND THEY ARE BEING HAMSTRUNG BY THE
00:42:15GOVERNMENT. LET'S LET THE GOVERNMENT, YOU KNOW, GET THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO THEY CAN DO
00:42:19THEIR JOB. THAT IS A HUMILITY, AN ECONOMIC HUMILITY, A
00:42:22GOVERNMENT HUMILITY FOR WHICH HE WILL NEVER GET CREDIT. AND WE NEED MORE OF THAT IN EVERY OTHER
00:42:25INDUSTRY. IN TERMS OF THE FIRST PART, IN TERMS OF DATA CENTERS,
00:42:28IT IS TOUGH, ESPECIALLY IN YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS. THESE ARE
00:42:32THRIVING COMMUNITIES I GO BACK TO. HE'S A LITTLE OLDER NOW,
00:42:34BUT WHEN JOE BURROWS WON HIS HEISMAN TROPHY A COUPLE OF YEARS
00:42:37AGO, AND HE GAVE THAT HEARTFELT SPEECH, AND COLLEGE FOOTBALL FANS WILL REMEMBER IT. AND HE
00:42:41WAS CRYING. HE WAS TALKING ABOUT GROWING UP IN RURAL SOUTHEAST
00:42:44OHIO, JD VANCE IN OHIO, OF APPALACHIA, AND THE POVERTY AND
00:42:47HOW TOUGH IT WAS. AND I WAS LISTENING TO HIM TALK, AND I
00:42:51SAID, BUT, JOE, IN YOUR LIFETIME, 5 OR 6 COAL PLANTS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE SHUT
00:42:55DOWN. THEY WERE SHUT DOWN BY WHAT I JUST LAID OUT. SO, OF
00:42:58COURSE, YOU GREW UP IN A POOR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT POOR
00:43:01NEIGHBORHOODS WERE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. THEY. NO ONE MOVES TO A
00:43:05POOR NEIGHBORHOOD. NO ONE STAYS IN A POOR NEIGHBORHOOD. PEOPLE
00:43:07ARE STUCK THERE, AND THEY'RE STUCK THERE BECAUSE EVIL PEOPLE
00:43:11PUSHED THIS WAR ON COAL AND CREATED IT. SO APPALACHIA, IN
00:43:14PARTICULAR, HAS NOW 30 YEARS OF
00:43:17MISTRUST. IT IS GOING TO BE HARD TO BREAK IN THERE, WHICH IS WHY I DO WHAT I DO WITH POWER OF THE
00:43:21FUTURE, TO TRY TO HELP THESE FOLKS. AGAIN, I UNDERSTAND THE
00:43:24CONCERN ABOUT DATA CENTERS. I AM CONCERNED WHEN SOMEONE EVER
00:43:27COMES AND KNOCKS ON YOUR DOOR AND SAYS, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE YOU RICH, OR WE'RE GOING TO FIX
00:43:30YOUR TOWN, RIGHT? SO THERE'S A
00:43:32LOT TO BE SAID. UM, BUT WE GOT
00:43:35TO START SOMEWHERE. AND THESE
00:43:37ARE AN OPPORTUNITY. THE THING I LIKE MOST ABOUT DATA CENTERS, WHICH IS WHY I, I AM SUPPORTIVE
00:43:41OF THEM, IS THE EXECUTIVE ORDER FROM THE PRESIDENT THAT ALLOWS THESE COMPANIES TO BUILD THEIR
00:43:45OWN ENERGY RESOURCES. WE'RE SEEING A RESURGENCE IN COAL IN
00:43:48WEST VIRGINIA, BECAUSE DATA CENTERS NEED THE COAL. AND I
00:43:51THINK THAT'S GREAT IF YOU'RE A COAL MINER. AND THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT, ARE ENERGY WORKERS.
00:43:55SO NOW WHEN WHEN WE GET A TERRIBLE PRESIDENT AND WE HAVE
00:43:58THE CLIMATE CHANGE STUFF IS BACK AND FORTH. GAVIN NEWSOM WINS IN
00:44:022028, AND IT'S ALL CLIMATE CHANGE ALL THE TIME. WE'RE GOING TO SHUT DOWN THAT COAL
00:44:06PLANT. NOW. IT'S NOT JUST APPALACHIA. AND DANIEL TURNER
00:44:09SAYING, NO, NOW IT'S APPALACHIA. DANIEL TURNER AND META. AND I
00:44:13LIKE HAVING THEM ON MY SIDE ON THIS FIGHT, BECAUSE I WANT THOSE
00:44:17JOBS. I WANT THAT ENERGY. I WANT THAT RURAL COMMUNITY SECURITY.
00:44:21SO I WILL TEAM UP WITH THESE FOLKS WHEN IT COMES TO ENERGY
00:44:24DEVELOPMENT, BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO FIGHT FOR ENERGY
00:44:27DEVELOPMENT. AND SO, SO THAT'S THE WAY THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
00:44:30PUSH THIS MESSAGE. >> [APPLAUSE] >> THANK YOU SO MUCH. >> [APPLAUSE] >> SURE.
00:44:34>> [APPLAUSE] >> THAAD MR. TURNER, HELLO.
00:44:38>> I'M FROM LIBERTY UNIVERSITY
00:44:43>> GIVE YOU ONE. >> COME ON, YOU GUYS GOT. UM.
00:44:47>> MY QUESTION IS, WHAT IS YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON NUCLEAR POWER? AS
00:44:51SOMEONE WHO ADVOCATES FOR FOSSIL FUELS.
00:44:54>> LOVE NUCLEAR POWER. UM, UH, IT'S ESSENTIAL TO OUR OVERALL
00:44:57BASELOAD POWER. UM, FOSSIL FUELS
00:45:01AND NUCLEAR, UM, FOSSIL FUELS HAVE, HAVE A DRAWBACK. AND I'LL, I TELL PEOPLE THIS ALL THE TIME
00:45:04WHEN WE DEBATE ACTUAL WIN VERSUS
00:45:07SOLAR VERSUS GAS VERSUS I'LL BE LIKE, I'LL TELL YOU MINE, IF
00:45:10YOU TELL ME YOURS. ONE OF THE DRAWBACKS OF FOSSIL FUELS THAT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE THERE
00:45:14IS THE SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUE. IF YOU HAVE A COAL PLANT, YOU GOT
00:45:16TO GET COAL THERE, AND THAT'S RAILROAD CARS, AND THAT'S
00:45:20TRAFFIC. AND THAT'S, GOD FORBID, A DERAILMENT, RIGHT? IF YOU HAVE A NATURAL GAS PLANT,
00:45:23YOU GOT TO BUILD A PIPELINE, AND YOU GOT TO GET GAS THERE. YOU CONSTANTLY HAVE TO FEED IT. ONE
00:45:27OF THE NICE THINGS ABOUT NUCLEAR IS THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE THAT YOU
00:45:30CAN POP A NUCLEAR STATION,
00:45:33NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, ESPECIALLY A NUCLEAR PLANT, ANYWHERE IN THE
00:45:36COUNTRY. AND YOU, YOU, YOU PULL THE RIPCORD, RIGHT? HOW DO YOU START A NUCLEAR POWER? YOU,
00:45:40WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU PUSH THE BUTTON AND THAT THING GETS GOING. AND AS LONG AS IT'S
00:45:43CONNECTED TO THE GRID, NOW YOU
00:45:45HAVE 40 YEARS OF, OF, OF, OF
00:45:48ELECTRICITY. THAT'S A HUGE ADVANTAGE OVER FOSSIL FUELS. UM,
00:45:52PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF NUCLEAR. I TELL THEM TWO THINGS
00:45:53ALL THE TIME. AND IT'S LIKE THE ONGOING JOKE. LAUGH WITH ME AT
00:45:57THE SECOND ONE, BECAUSE I'M TRYING REALLY HARD. THE FIRST ONE IS, UM, PEOPLE ARE LIKE,
00:46:00I'M AFRAID OF NUCLEAR. WE RUN THE WORLD'S LARGEST NUCLEAR
00:46:03ARSENAL. IT'S CALLED OUR UNITED STATES NAVY. AND SOME OF YOU MAY
00:46:06HAVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS RIGHT
00:46:08NOW WHO ARE BUNKED ON TOP OF A NUCLEAR REACTOR. UM, THERE ARE
00:46:11SUBMARINES, ARE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS. WE HAVE 19 YEAR OLD
00:46:14FARM KIDS WHO SLEEP ON THE NUCLEAR REACTOR, AND NO ONE IS
00:46:18WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY. WHY? BECAUSE THEY ARE TOTALLY SAFE.
00:46:20AND THE SECOND REASON WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE AFRAID OF NUCLEAR,
00:46:24THIS IS THE JOKE, IS THAT FRANCE GETS 90% OF ITS ELECTRICITY FROM
00:46:27NUCLEAR POWER. AND IF THE FRENCH ARE NOT AFRAID OF NUCLEAR POWER,
00:46:31THEN WHY ARE AMERICANS AFRAID OF NUCLEAR >> [APPLAUSE] >> POWER? >> [APPLAUSE]
00:46:34>> SO WE LOVE NUCLEAR. AH, THAT
00:46:37WAS GOOD, RIGHT? AND JUST ONE
00:46:41LAST THING REALLY QUICK, IS THAT TO BUILD A NUCLEAR PLANT, YOU NEED A LOT OF FOSSIL FUELS. YOU NEED A LOT OF STEEL, YOU NEED A
00:46:45LOT OF CEMENT. YOU NEED A LOT OF WORKERS WHO ARE DRIVING THERE. AND THAT IS ALL GOOD FOR THE
00:46:48FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY. ARE YOU ABOUT TO WRAP ME UP? >> THIS WILL BE OUR LAST
00:46:52QUESTION. >> BEFORE THE LAST QUESTION. UM,
00:46:53I ALWAYS THROW THIS OUT THERE,
00:46:57DANIEL AT POWER, THE FUTURE.COM. YOUR PROFESSOR STARTS RAILING ON
00:47:01YOU ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE, AND YOU'RE LIKE, HOLY CRAP, I MAY
00:47:03GET A D IN THIS CLASS, I NEED
00:47:05HELP. EMAIL ME, DANIEL AT POWER THEFUTURE.COM. I'M NOT GOING TO
00:47:09WRITE YOUR PAPERS FOR YOU, BUT I WILL SEND YOU IN THE RIGHT
00:47:12DIRECTION, BECAUSE THESE ARE THESE ARE NASTY ARGUMENTS. THIS WAS FUN. I LOVE YOU GUYS. THIS
00:47:16WAS A GOOD CONVERSATION. BUT YOU
00:47:18PUT ME UP HERE WITH SOME OF THE
00:47:20CLIMATE EVIL FOLKS. YOU SEE THEIR FACES TRANS MORPH. THEY
00:47:23GET SO ANGRY THEY CAN'T SEE STRAIGHT, AND THERE IS HATRED
00:47:26AND THERE IS VIOLENCE. THE
00:47:29ORIGINAL POLITICAL VIOLENCE OF THIS COUNTRY IS ENVIRONMENTAL
00:47:33VIOLENCE. THEY WOULD BURN DOWN SKI RESORTS. THEY WOULD SPIKE
00:47:36TREES. JOE BIDEN'S HEAD OF THE BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, TRACY
00:47:39STONE-MANNING, A SHOUT OUT FOR
00:47:42CNN. TRACY STONE-MANNING SPIKED TREES IN HER YOUTH SO THAT
00:47:46LOGGERS WOULD DIE, AND LOGGERS
00:47:48DID DIE. AND WHEN SHE AND HER
00:47:50FRIENDS GOT CAUGHT, SHE CUT A DEAL WITH THE FEDS, RATTED THEM
00:47:54ALL OUT. THEY WENT TO JAIL, AND SHE WENT INTO ACADEMIA. AND SHE
00:47:58WAS THE HEAD OF BIDEN'S BUREAU
00:47:59OF LAND MANAGEMENT. THIS IS A
00:48:02SICK FREAKING PEOPLE. THESE ARE BAD PEOPLE. THE CLIMATE PEOPLE
00:48:05ARE BAD. NO BONES ABOUT IT. FIGHT THEM WITH EVERY FIBER OF
00:48:09YOUR BEING BECAUSE THEY ARE
00:48:10COMING AFTER YOU. AND WE ARE
00:48:13RIDING HIGH RIGHT NOW IN THE TRUMP ENERGY DOMINANCE WORLD.
00:48:16BUT IF WE LOSE, AND ONE DAY,
00:48:18SADLY, WE MAY LOSE, THEY ARE NOT
00:48:21GOING TO FORGET THIS, AND THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FORGET YOU. AND THEY CERTAINLY ARE NOT GOING TO
00:48:25FORGET ME. WHICH IS WHY I LIVE IN A RURAL VIRGINIA FARM WITH
00:48:28LOTS OF GUNS. LAST >> [APPLAUSE] >> QUESTION.
00:48:32>> [APPLAUSE]
00:48:37>> HI, MY NAME IS JOSHUA MORRIS AND I'M FROM CALIFORNIA BAPTIST
00:48:41UNIVERSITY. >> WHO?
00:48:43>> UH, MY QUESTION IS ALSO ABOUT
00:48:46NUCLEAR ENERGY. YEAH. UH, DATA
00:48:48CENTERS. AND I, UH, IT'S GIVEN
00:48:51THE GROWING NEEDS OF THE US FOR
00:48:55ENERGY BECAUSE OF AI. YEAH. UH,
00:48:58AND THE SUPREMACY OF NUCLEAR ENERGY BY ESSENTIALLY ANY
00:49:02OBJECTIVE METRIC, UH, WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO ADVOCATE FOR THE
00:49:05DEREGULATION AND GROWTH OF NUCLEAR, NUCLEAR TO POWER THE FUTURE?
00:49:08>> ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. AND I THINK THE PRESIDENT HAS TAKEN SOME REALLY IMPORTANT EXECUTIVE
00:49:12ORDERS IN THIS STEP. I BELIEVE THERE ARE TEN NUCLEAR PLANTS
00:49:15CURRENTLY IN PROCESS, WHICH IS
00:49:18ABSOLUTELY REMARKABLE. IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED 30 YEARS AGO. UNFORTUNATELY, WE'RE A LITTLE
00:49:21BIT BEHIND THE CURVE, BUT WE'RE HEADED IN A GOOD DIRECTION. BUT ABSOLUTELY, WE NEED TO, THE
00:49:25PRESIDENT SAID. ON DAY ONE, WE HAVE AN ENERGY EMERGENCY, AND WE
00:49:29DO. LAST LITTLE KNOCK ON THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, ESPECIALLY FOR OUR TELEVISION AUDIENCE.
00:49:33ANOTHER REPORT, POWER OF THE FUTURE, PUT OUT. THE BIDEN
00:49:35ADMINISTRATION CLOSED OVER 100 VIABLE COAL AND NATURAL GAS
00:49:39PLANTS. NO ONE VOTED ON THAT. THERE WAS NO REFERENDUM. THERE
00:49:42WAS NO CONVERSATION. THEY USED BOGUS REGULATORY ENVIRONMENTS TO
00:49:46SAY, OH, YOU'RE NOT COMPLYING ANYMORE. YOU GOT TO SHUT DOWN.
00:49:50MOST FAMOUSLY WAS JULY OF 2022,
00:49:532022. I GUESS IT WAS JUST A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. BIDEN STOOD
00:49:56IN SOMERSET, MASSACHUSETTS, HOT AND SWEATY LIKE I AM NOW,
00:50:00BECAUSE IT WAS HOT. AND I WALKED HERE, WHICH WAS REALLY STUPID
00:50:04BECAUSE IT'S HOT OUTSIDE. SO I GOT I'VE BEEN SWEATY SINCE,
00:50:06SINCE 815. UM, BIDEN STOOD IN
00:50:08THIS FIELD WHERE IT USED TO BE A
00:50:12200 ZERO MEGAWATT COAL PLANT, LAST COAL PLANT IN NEW ENGLAND
