Latest / V / Obliterating the Climate Cult (Ep.219)
Transcript
- 0:51Speaker 1: Like most young Americans growing up, I was taught in
- 0:54Speaker 1: school that climate change posed an immediate threat to humanity
- 1:00Speaker 1: and that the climate change movement was all about saving
- 1:04Speaker 1: the planet, about protecting nature, safeguarding my future from floods
- 1:08Speaker 1: and fires and famine. The world was going to end,
- 1:12Speaker 1: after all, if we failed to take action. It's a
- 1:14Speaker 1: terrifying message for a kid, traumatizing even, I'd say. A
- 1:19Speaker 1: fearful American populace has been told repeatedly for decades, if
- 1:24Speaker 1: you just hand over a little more control, pay a
- 1:27Speaker 1: little more in taxes, and let the experts run the show,
- 1:31Speaker 1: we will stop the warming, heal the earth. But the
- 1:35Speaker 1: truth is, it was never really about the climate. The
- 1:39Speaker 1: so-called climate emergency has become the most effective vehicle for
- 1:43Speaker 1: expanding government control in modern history. It's the perfect crisis,
- 1:48Speaker 1: global in scope, invisible to the naked eye, and endlessly adjustable.
- 1:53Speaker 1: And worst of all, it comes with no expiration date.
- 1:56Speaker 1: You'll never be green enough. You'll never sacrifice enough. There
- 2:00Speaker 1: will always be another tipping point just around the corner.
- 2:05Speaker 1: And behind it all is a movement that claims to
- 2:08Speaker 1: love science, yet shuts down debate, censors dissent, and treats
- 2:13Speaker 1: climate models like sacred scripture. These are the same models,
- 2:18Speaker 1: by the way, that have predicted catastrophe for decades and
- 2:23Speaker 1: still can't get it right. Remember ice-free Arctic by 2013?
- 2:26Speaker 1: Never happened. Meanwhile, the very people screaming about carbon footprints
- 2:33Speaker 1: are flying private jets to Davos and lecturing all of
- 2:36Speaker 1: us on composting sandwiches. John Kerry burns more jet fuel
- 2:41Speaker 1: in a week than most Americans do in a year.
- 2:43Speaker 1: And he still wants you to ride a bike and
- 2:46Speaker 1: eat bugs. And let's talk about green energy. You're not
- 2:49Speaker 1: saving the planet. You're just outsourcing pollution. These solar panels
- 2:53Speaker 1: and EV batteries, they're built with materials mined in countries
- 2:56Speaker 1: with child labor, no safety standards, zero environmental oversight. But hey,
- 3:02Speaker 1: as long as the smog is over Congo or China
- 3:05Speaker 1: and not California, the climate cult leaders pat themselves on
- 3:08Speaker 1: the back and call it progress. What the climate agenda
- 3:11Speaker 1: has really become is a war on modern life, a
- 3:14Speaker 1: war on abundance, a war on basic freedoms. They want
- 3:18Speaker 1: to regulate what you drive, how you heat your home,
- 3:22Speaker 1: what you eat, even whether you can own property. It's
- 3:25Speaker 1: degrowth disguised as virtue. It's about managing the population, clearly
- 3:29Speaker 1: not protecting it. What we're dealing with is authoritarianism wearing
- 3:34Speaker 1: a green mask. And we're not deniers for calling it out.
- 3:37Speaker 1: We're defenders of rational energy policy, national sovereignty, and economic sanity.
- 3:43Speaker 1: If we really cared about clean air and water, we'd
- 3:47Speaker 1: unleash innovation. not shackle it with UN talking points and
- 3:50Speaker 1: ESG scorecards. What was supposed to be about protecting the
- 3:53Speaker 1: planet has clearly morphed into dismantling the foundations of the
- 3:57Speaker 1: free world. We're not going to let it happen quietly. Today,
- 4:01Speaker 1: I am joined by one of the fiercest fighters against
- 4:05Speaker 1: the climate cult, Mark Morano, founder of ClimateDepot.com and the
- 4:09Speaker 1: author of Politically Incorrect Guide to Climate Change, and Green Fraud,
- 4:15Speaker 1: Why the Climate Green New Deal is Worse Than You Think,
- 4:17Speaker 1: and The Great Reset, Global Elites, and the Permanent Lockdown. Mark,
- 4:22Speaker 1: thank you so much for being here.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Thank you, Avita. Happy to be here. A great opening.
- 4:27Speaker 2: I just want to add one thing you talked about.
- 4:29Speaker 2: There is no criteria by which they will ever say,
- 4:32Speaker 2: we've solved the crisis. Thank you for all your work.
- 4:35Speaker 2: Thank you for giving up gas-powered cars and red meat
- 4:38Speaker 2: and controlling your thermostat and travel. We've done it. I
- 4:41Speaker 2: was in Paris at the UN Paris Agreement 2015, and
- 4:44Speaker 2: they literally said, our children and grandchildren will thank us
- 4:48Speaker 2: for this historic day. This is the day we've saved
- 4:50Speaker 2: the planet. President Obama, John Kerry, Hillary Clinton, all the
- 4:54Speaker 2: international leaders. And then a year later, guess what? It
- 4:58Speaker 2: was a redo. We had to save it all over again.
- 5:00Speaker 2: And every year we keep saving it. There's nothing we
- 5:03Speaker 2: can do that would ever satisfy them. And you're exactly right.
- 5:06Speaker 2: It's all about control. And it's actually... It's an even
- 5:11Speaker 2: more sinister plan, as we now know, since COVID, and
- 5:13Speaker 2: that's what my book, The Great Reset, was about. It's
- 5:15Speaker 2: a corporate government collusion that takes away our democracy. In
- 5:19Speaker 2: other words, you declare an emergency and you basically become
- 5:22Speaker 2: a dictator. We saw that happen with the COVID restrictions.
- 5:26Speaker 2: And they tried to do that. And by demonstration, they
- 5:28Speaker 2: were going to declare a climate emergency and become a
- 5:30Speaker 2: climate dictator. And that's one of the greatest things we face.
- 5:33Speaker 2: And corporations working closely with government and subsidies and the mandates,
- 5:37Speaker 2: they were able to impose this upon Americans without a
- 5:41Speaker 2: single vote. And we saw that particularly in the world
- 5:43Speaker 2: of gas powered cars. You had the World Bank telling
- 5:46Speaker 2: automakers they're not going to fund gas powered cars. You
- 5:48Speaker 2: had corporate banks saying they weren't going to. allow car loans,
- 5:54Speaker 2: continue to allow car loans for gas-powered cars. You have
- 5:57Speaker 2: cities in Colorado and California banning creation of new gas stations.
- 6:01Speaker 2: You had Gavin Newsom executive order, unelected bureaucrats. None of
- 6:05Speaker 2: it involved democracy. None of it involved the Congress or
- 6:08Speaker 2: the EU voting on any of this. It was just
- 6:10Speaker 2: imposed upon us. Same thing with meat, by the way.
- 6:12Speaker 2: You got Bill Gates Richard Branson, Bezos investing in the
- 6:16Speaker 2: lab-grown meat. They're gobbling up farmland in the case of
- 6:19Speaker 2: Bill Gates as America's single largest farmland owner, followed closely
- 6:23Speaker 2: by other billionaires and followed closely by China. And of course,
- 6:28Speaker 2: none of this was voted on either. It's just imposed.
- 6:31Speaker 2: And that was the goal of the climate movement, to
- 6:33Speaker 2: impose all of this by bypassing traditional democracy.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Well, you're so right, Mark. It's imposed and there's no
- 6:40Speaker 1: end in sight. I mean, this is something we've been
- 6:41Speaker 1: hammering for a long time, that there is no end goal.
- 6:46Speaker 1: There will always continue to be a crisis because the
- 6:48Speaker 1: goal is not actually to address an environmental crisis. It
- 6:53Speaker 1: is all of these other ulterior motives, which you've been
- 6:56Speaker 1: so good at pointing out, Mark. Now, we're in a
- 6:58Speaker 1: different space than we were just pre-Trump admin. So President Trump,
- 7:04Speaker 1: he's really trying to combat the climate cult. He withdrew
- 7:07Speaker 1: from the Paris Climate Agreement. Second time he's done that.
- 7:11Speaker 1: He's clawed back $ 3. 7 billion in green energy and manufacturing awards.
- 7:16Speaker 1: He's investing in actually reliable and genuinely effective American energy independence.
- 7:21Speaker 1: He has rescinded, I love this, $ 4 billion from the
- 7:25Speaker 1: UN's Green Climate Fund, which is basically just promoting eco-imperialism abroad.
- 7:30Speaker 1: So he's making moves, Mark. But in your view, what
- 7:33Speaker 1: else still needs to be done?
- 7:36Speaker 2: Great question, because Trump 1.0 was fantastic. Did almost verbatim
- 7:42Speaker 2: everything you said. It just went through that list. Maybe
- 7:45Speaker 2: not as much. But it had no permanence. So I
- 7:49Speaker 2: would argue within six months of Joe Biden's presidency in 2021,
- 7:54Speaker 2: most of Trump's first term climate and energy accomplishments were overturned.
- 7:58Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 7:59Speaker 2: So this time around, they realize that this time around,
- 8:02Speaker 2: first of all, you know, the the most The consequential
- 8:06Speaker 2: EPA director in history is Lee Zeldin. Lee Zeldin gets this.
- 8:11Speaker 2: And so there's two prongs that Donald Trump needs to do, 2.0,
- 8:14Speaker 2: that he did not do in 1.0. And they're actually
- 8:17Speaker 2: sounding like they're going through this. First of all, Lee Zeldin, EPA.
- 8:21Speaker 2: They want to go after the endangerment finding, get rid
- 8:23Speaker 2: of this finding, which piggy banks on the 1990 Clean
- 8:27Speaker 2: Air Act and basically adds, just out of executive fiat,
- 8:31Speaker 2: carbon dioxide is now an air pollutant and we can
- 8:33Speaker 2: regulate it as such.
- 8:34Speaker 1: What?
- 8:35Speaker 2: That was never in any Clean Air Act going back
- 8:37Speaker 2: to the 1970s, going back to the 1990s. They just
- 8:39Speaker 2: sort of inserted it. And so Obama's administration started this,
- 8:45Speaker 2: and then Biden really went to town with this, regulating,
- 8:48Speaker 2: we inhale oxygen, we exhale carbon dioxide. For the first
- 8:51Speaker 2: time in U.S. history, we were having our breath regulated
- 8:55Speaker 2: as a pollutant, toxic substance under the Clean Air Act.
- 8:59Speaker 2: What Lee Zeldin wants to do is go after this
- 9:01Speaker 2: so-called endangerment finding, which goes back again to the Obama
- 9:05Speaker 2: administration in 2007, and they want to overturn this using
- 9:09Speaker 2: new science, using a bunch of regulatory schemes, using a
- 9:12Speaker 2: way to vacate it. If he can successfully do it,
- 9:15Speaker 2: and there are multiple legal strategies, that would make the
- 9:18Speaker 2: underpinning of gas-powered car bans, meat restrictions, thermostat control, solar
- 9:23Speaker 2: wind mandates, It strips that away because one of the
- 9:26Speaker 2: things that every blue state governor, that all of our
- 9:30Speaker 2: legislators have done, the green energy have promoted is, well,
- 9:34Speaker 2: according to our own EPA, this CO2 is an endangerment
- 9:36Speaker 2: which needs to be regulated. So they would turn, again,
- 9:40Speaker 2: human breath into, well, this is pollution. This is now
- 9:43Speaker 2: pollution we're fighting. No, it's not the same as soot
- 9:45Speaker 2: or carbon monoxide. So that was one thing. And the
- 9:47Speaker 2: second thing, and this is significant, And it's actually probably
- 9:51Speaker 2: not as legally hard. There's two options. Donald Trump can
- 9:54Speaker 2: vacate the United States from the abomination of the 1992
- 9:58Speaker 2: Rio Earth Summit Treaty that George H.W. Bush, the first Bush,
- 10:03Speaker 2: got us into in the fall of 1992. He went
- 10:06Speaker 2: down to Rio, signed this big Earth Treaty. in order
- 10:10Speaker 2: to try to defeat Bill Clinton. And of course it failed.
- 10:13Speaker 2: He wanted to appear green. And that treaty led to
- 10:17Speaker 2: sustainable development, the Agenda 2030 coming into the United States,
- 10:21Speaker 2: and also all the entire United Nations climate process, the
- 10:25Speaker 2: UN Paris Agreement, Copenhagen, the annual meetings, the UN delegation,
- 10:28Speaker 2: the climate slush funds, the Green Fund, all the stuff
- 10:31Speaker 2: you just mentioned. Donald Trump can pull us out of
- 10:33Speaker 2: that initial treaty and the other thing he can do
- 10:35Speaker 2: is submit the UN Paris Agreement as a treaty to
- 10:38Speaker 2: the Senate, which Obama signed in 2015, submit it to
- 10:42Speaker 2: the Senate to be rejected. If it's rejected, Both of
- 10:45Speaker 2: those things, or even one or the other, would make
- 10:47Speaker 2: it extremely difficult for the next president to get us
- 10:51Speaker 2: back in to the United Nations climate process. Say, President
- 10:55Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom, or I'll even go further, President Nikki Haley.
- 10:59Speaker 2: There's a lot of Republicans who would love to get
- 11:01Speaker 2: us back into this. Remember, every nominee before Donald Trump
- 11:05Speaker 2: Mitt Romney, John McCain, George W. Bush. I guess it
- 11:09Speaker 2: wasn't too much of an issue. I guess Bob Dole
- 11:11Speaker 2: really didn't deal with it as a nominee. But and
- 11:13Speaker 2: George H.W. Bush all supported basically that U.N. agenda and
- 11:18Speaker 2: the U.N. So Donald Trump was the first guy to
- 11:20Speaker 2: ever stand up to this climate agenda.
- 11:22Speaker 1: So this is incredible, Mark. And so, first of all,
- 11:27Speaker 1: some of this is kind of news to me, like
- 11:30Speaker 1: this U.N.
- 11:30Speaker 2: Project.
- 11:30Speaker 1: But I want you to go back to the first
- 11:32Speaker 1: thing you were telling me. And Can you clarify a
- 11:34Speaker 1: little bit why you're indicating that it's going to be
- 11:37Speaker 1: legally difficult to take away all these signals and end
- 11:43Speaker 1: justifications for these state policies that the federal government is
- 11:46Speaker 1: basically handing the climate cultists?
- 11:49Speaker 2: Yes, and there's one phrase why, the Supreme Court. In 2007,
- 11:54Speaker 2: when they announced this endangerment, this idea that CO2 was
- 11:58Speaker 2: a pollutant, the Supreme Court ultimately ruled that you could
- 12:01Speaker 2: regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant. We had a science
- 12:04Speaker 2: trial of sorts to the Supreme Court. It was a
- 12:06Speaker 2: horrible trial where even the skeptical side barely argued in
- 12:10Speaker 2: favor of the skeptical side. But the justices at the
- 12:13Speaker 2: time allowed the federal government to do it, which when
- 12:16Speaker 2: Obama got elected, he happily wanted to do that. And
- 12:19Speaker 2: of course, Biden took it many steps further. So because
- 12:23Speaker 2: you have that Supreme Court ruling, because it's the law
- 12:25Speaker 2: of the land, you know how about Roe v. Wade
- 12:27Speaker 2: and all that? That takes a long time, potentially. But
- 12:31Speaker 2: there's legal strategies, and that's what Lee Zeldin is looking into.
- 12:33Speaker 2: There's ways they can do a whole new endangerment finding
- 12:38Speaker 2: where they're going to literally bring in skeptical scientists, have
- 12:41Speaker 2: a whole testimonies and hearings and produce a whole new
- 12:44Speaker 2: report that would then have to face legal scrutiny and
- 12:48Speaker 2: regulatory scrutiny. And there's the whole strategy of getting rid
- 12:53Speaker 2: of this CO2 endangerment finding is probably going to take years.
- 12:56Speaker 2: But it can be done in Trump's first term. But
- 12:58Speaker 2: it's a minimum of a year, maybe two years. The
- 13:00Speaker 2: other option is you can just vacate the strategy and
- 13:02Speaker 2: then allow court cases to pile up. and save a
- 13:05Speaker 2: scientific case or counter case for a court case. And
- 13:09Speaker 2: it's gonna start out at federal district level and eventually
- 13:12Speaker 2: probably move back up to the Supreme Court. It's a mess,
- 13:16Speaker 2: but it's something that the first Trump administration openly said,
- 13:19Speaker 2: we're not going there. They just didn't wanna deal with it.
- 13:21Speaker 2: And that was a mistake because you ended up with Obama,
- 13:25Speaker 2: ying on climate, Trump, yang, and then ying, yang, ying, yang.
- 13:29Speaker 2: We can't do that anymore. It is a trope, but
- 13:32Speaker 2: it is true that industry likes and Americans like regulatory certainty.
- 13:37Speaker 2: So we don't want every four years energy policy going
- 13:40Speaker 2: back and forth. And that's one of the things we
- 13:42Speaker 2: have to start doing. So that's a big one. And
- 13:45Speaker 2: as far as the UN one, It's probably less of
- 13:49Speaker 2: a big deal, but it's important because we want to
- 13:51Speaker 2: get out of this whole net zero UN climate process
- 13:54Speaker 2: for good. And by the way, I've been to 21
- 13:57Speaker 2: out of the last 23 UN climate summits. This will
- 14:00Speaker 2: be my 22nd coming up in Belém, Brazil. And they're
- 14:03Speaker 2: going to be they've already clear cut tropical rainforest. You
- 14:07Speaker 2: can't make this up. Clear cutting tropical rainforests in order
- 14:11Speaker 2: to highlight how they're saving the rainforests in Brazil so
- 14:14Speaker 2: that they can bring in all the traffic expected for
- 14:16Speaker 2: the UN climate summit. They're literally mowing down thousands of
- 14:20Speaker 2: acres and they're displacing the local native population, the indigenous populations,
- 14:25Speaker 2: all kinds of outcry there. But I'm going to this summit.
- 14:28Speaker 2: This will be the first time in my lifetime, Avita,
- 14:31Speaker 2: that there appears to be no U.S. delegation being sent
- 14:35Speaker 2: to this process. It looks as though Donald Trump's going
- 14:37Speaker 2: to pull the U.S.
- 14:39Speaker 1: Out.
- 14:39Speaker 2: And there will be no official delegation. I'll probably be
- 14:43Speaker 2: the only U.S. representative, so to speak, but I won't
- 14:45Speaker 2: be official government. But that'll be the first time. And
- 14:48Speaker 2: that is progress. That sends a message to the world
- 14:51Speaker 2: that not only are we not playing anymore, but we're
- 14:53Speaker 2: not even pretending to play. Because even though Trump did
- 14:55Speaker 2: a great job the first term, again, nothing was permanent,
- 14:58Speaker 2: they did send their delegations to all these U.N. summits,
- 15:02Speaker 2: and they still played with them. In fact, if you
- 15:03Speaker 2: look at the rhetoric from Trump's first term, They said
- 15:06Speaker 2: many things like, well, we would do a U.N.-Paris agreement
- 15:09Speaker 2: could work, but it's just not enough in America's favor.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Forget that. What's amazing is Donald Trump, Lee Zeldin, Chris Wright,
- 15:18Speaker 2: all literally saying the right things. This is a climate cult.
- 15:21Speaker 2: It's a climate religion. This is a scam. They call
- 15:24Speaker 2: it the Green New Deal, the Green New Scam. I've
- 15:26Speaker 2: never seen the narrative shift like I've seen in my lifetime.
- 15:30Speaker 2: In fact, it's more than I ever even hoped for.
- 15:33Speaker 2: We have a group of about several dozen climate activists
- 15:36Speaker 2: that actually meet on a weekly basis, climate skeptic activists,
- 15:39Speaker 2: I should say, and energy realists. And we actually came
- 15:42Speaker 2: up with a top 10 list for Donald Trump and
- 15:43Speaker 2: his administration to do. Within the first two weeks, it
- 15:46Speaker 2: was accomplished. For the first time in our lives, we
- 15:48Speaker 2: were like, wait a minute, we weren't ambitious enough for
- 15:51Speaker 2: this goal because we just didn't expect it. especially on
- 15:55Speaker 2: these issues. I know people are upset. Maybe there's some
- 15:58Speaker 2: other issues that aren't progressing as fast. But this has
- 16:01Speaker 2: been on climate energy in this whole UN process and
- 16:04Speaker 2: the EPA. I've never seen anything as rapid, as fast
- 16:08Speaker 2: and as far reaching as they've accomplished.
- 16:10Speaker 1: Well, that's incredibly positive, Mark. And first of all, I'm
- 16:14Speaker 1: shocked by the story about the rainforest. I can't believe
- 16:16Speaker 1: they're cutting it down for their climate conference and displacing
- 16:21Speaker 1: indigenous people in the area. I mean, it's a wild story.
- 16:24Speaker 1: So it seems to me like what you're saying is
- 16:26Speaker 1: they're doing the best they can, but we have entrenched
- 16:31Speaker 1: climate policy that's been around for a long time. It's
- 16:34Speaker 1: going to take time to get rid of. It's going
- 16:38Speaker 1: to be very difficult. So they're doing the best they can.
- 16:42Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about something that people
- 16:44Speaker 1: don't always consider when we talk about the environmental issues
- 16:49Speaker 1: or the climate cult. And that's tariffs. Because, Mark, you
- 16:53Speaker 1: and I are actual authentic conservationists. I actually want to
- 16:56Speaker 1: protect the natural environment. And if you want to protect
- 17:01Speaker 1: the natural environment, Mark, if you care about the world
- 17:04Speaker 1: and the planet, you actually have to care about what
- 17:07Speaker 1: other countries are doing. For instance, China. And for years,
- 17:11Speaker 1: we have outsourced industry abroad, especially to China, a country that, again,
- 17:16Speaker 1: heavily pollutes, not to mention is guilty of some of
- 17:19Speaker 1: the most egregious animal and human rights abuses of all time. Mark,
- 17:24Speaker 1: can you talk to me a little bit about what
- 17:25Speaker 1: the tariffs are doing to the authentic conservation?
- 17:31Speaker 2: It's absolutely phenomenal because if you go back about a
- 17:35Speaker 2: decade now, there was a major economic analysis, and it's
- 17:38Speaker 2: proven true, 100% true. This came out in Canada that
- 17:43Speaker 2: showed that whenever you go net zero, carbon taxes, climate policy, mandates,
- 17:49Speaker 2: et cetera, in the West, Europe, United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia,
- 17:54Speaker 2: et cetera, all you end up doing is increasing global
- 17:57Speaker 2: CO2 emissions, period. And that might be counterintuitive, like, wait
- 18:01Speaker 2: a minute, we signed an agreement. Look, Europe is going
- 18:03Speaker 2: net zero. Look, Canada is going electric cars and Australia
- 18:07Speaker 2: and New Zealand are shutting down all their power plants
- 18:09Speaker 2: and they're All it means is you're relying on energy
- 18:14Speaker 2: from Venezuela, the Middle East, China, India, places with questionable
- 18:18Speaker 2: human rights record in the case, very much lower environmental
- 18:23Speaker 2: standards than Western nations. And you end up with more
- 18:27Speaker 2: resource extraction, which means to more emissions. So what we've seen,
- 18:33Speaker 2: and you can look at all the UN treaties, as
- 18:35Speaker 2: they've made more progress with climate treaties, Going back to
- 18:40Speaker 2: 1992 Rio, CO2 has continued to go up. So there's
- 18:43Speaker 2: been no effect on that. And the reason is, is
- 18:45Speaker 2: because we're relying more and more on countries that make
- 18:49Speaker 2: this energy, particularly China. They're building two coal plants a week. Why?
- 18:52Speaker 2: Because they need it for all the mining and extraction
- 18:55Speaker 2: for solar and windmills and the EV batteries. So they
- 18:58Speaker 2: are just pumping. If you were actually worried about CO2,
- 19:01Speaker 2: the last thing you would be is pro-solar power, pro-wind
- 19:04Speaker 2: power and pro-EVs. which makes us more dependent on China.
- 19:09Speaker 2: By the way, China, in response to the tariffs, is
- 19:11Speaker 2: now calling for a blockade. We're going to be holding
- 19:14Speaker 2: off on a lot of their rare earth mining, which
- 19:17Speaker 2: is going to create shortages. They're trying to create chaos. But,
- 19:20Speaker 2: sorry for that long thing, but here's the bottom line.
- 19:23Speaker 2: By Trump now imposing tariffs, particularly on China and on
- 19:26Speaker 2: these countries that... we're relying on for all of this
- 19:29Speaker 2: green energy, it means one thing. We're going to be
- 19:33Speaker 2: using less of it and it's going to prioritize domestic
- 19:36Speaker 2: energy production. When you use tariffs in the energy realm,
- 19:40Speaker 2: you end up with more domestic. And what's better than
- 19:43Speaker 2: more domestic? It's good for national security. It's good for economics, jobs.
- 19:47Speaker 2: It's good for environment globally. It's good if you cared
- 19:50Speaker 2: about reducing CO2 emissions. Tariffs create a win-win-win. If Europe
- 19:55Speaker 2: had created tariffs, we would have probably much lower CO2 emissions.
- 19:58Speaker 2: It's a perverse... thing to think about, but the climate
- 20:02Speaker 2: activists should have been promoting tariffs as a tool for
- 20:05Speaker 2: nations decades ago, but they never thought of it. Donald
- 20:08Speaker 2: Trump is a pioneer when it comes to green policy
- 20:11Speaker 2: by doing the US tariffs, because all it's going to
- 20:14Speaker 2: do is actually improve the environment. We have much better,
- 20:18Speaker 2: whether it's recycling programs, whether it's cleanup programs for any
- 20:22Speaker 2: energy extraction in the world and all of the West
- 20:25Speaker 2: does over any of the developing world. Well, yeah, it's
- 20:27Speaker 2: cheaper energy in many cases to get, but maybe not
- 20:31Speaker 2: cheaper because you're still exporting it. Even we're talking about
- 20:33Speaker 2: fossil fuels. But of course, when you're talking solar and wind,
- 20:37Speaker 2: You know, I always say, like, EVs dig the earth,
- 20:39Speaker 2: not in a Brady Bunch 1970s way, but in a
- 20:42Speaker 2: half a million pounds of materials dug up from the earth,
- 20:45Speaker 2: almost exclusively in China, about 80%, to make one Tesla-sized
- 20:50Speaker 2: EV batteries. Half a million pounds of material to make
- 20:54Speaker 2: one Tesla-sized EV battery. To make a windmill, solar panels,
- 20:57Speaker 2: you're talking about tons of concrete, non-renewable plastic, cement. I mean,
- 21:02Speaker 2: it's unbelievable the amount of resources that go into so-called
- 21:07Speaker 2: green energy.
- 21:08Speaker 1: It's such a scam, Mark. And the other scam is
- 21:11Speaker 1: we're preventing people in the third world from actually developing.
- 21:15Speaker 1: We're saying, you guys have to stay in the dark
- 21:17Speaker 1: ages because if you actually developed, the world would boil over. Well,
- 21:22Speaker 1: what hurts the environment, what is really bad for the
- 21:26Speaker 1: climate is to have people poor. But poverty is like
- 21:31Speaker 1: the greatest pollutant ever because people will be using real
- 21:34Speaker 1: fires and they'll be throwing away garbage. Developed first world
- 21:39Speaker 1: countries treat the environment much better than third world ones.
- 21:41Speaker 1: And for some reason, The climate cult is hellbent on
- 21:45Speaker 1: keeping the third world third world. Mark, I want to
- 21:48Speaker 1: talk to you. Everything that they do seems to be
- 21:50Speaker 1: so counterintuitive. I want to talk to you about Massachusetts
- 21:54Speaker 1: Senate Majority Leader Cynthia Stone Cream. She introduced a bill
- 21:58Speaker 1: this year to create a commission with the goal of
- 22:02Speaker 1: reducing the number of miles driven by citizens in their
- 22:05Speaker 1: cars in order to reduce the need for personal vehicles
- 22:08Speaker 1: and fight climate change.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Mark.
- 22:12Speaker 1: Why is it that so many climate cultists seem obsessed
- 22:16Speaker 1: with restricting freedom of movement? And mind you, a lot
- 22:20Speaker 1: of these guys, at least at the top of the
- 22:22Speaker 1: climate change movement, they're flying private jets to these climate conferences.
- 22:25Speaker 1: So it's really hard for me to believe that there
- 22:27Speaker 1: isn't another motive here.
- 22:29Speaker 2: Well, there's absolutely another motive, and there's been another motive.
- 22:32Speaker 2: This Massachusetts Democrat is really a minor leaguer, even though
- 22:35Speaker 2: she's the top Democrat in the state of Massachusetts. Her
- 22:38Speaker 2: name is Stone Cream, which is a funny name to me.
- 22:41Speaker 2: But she literally wants to have mileage limits and restrict
- 22:46Speaker 2: vehicle usage in the name of climate change because of
- 22:50Speaker 2: reducing the emissions. It's another form of sort of a
- 22:52Speaker 2: gas-powered car ban, except this time they're going to restrict
- 22:55Speaker 2: your mileage. Now, nothing new in what she said. I
- 22:58Speaker 2: can take you back When I was working in the U.S.
- 23:00Speaker 2: Senate Environment and Public Works Committee during the Bush administration,
- 23:04Speaker 2: they had proposals in Europe to have a CO2 budget
- 23:08Speaker 2: for every man, woman, and child on the planet. And
- 23:11Speaker 2: the idea was, this was from a U.N. official named Schulenhuber,
- 23:15Speaker 2: And the idea was that the governments would monitor or
- 23:18Speaker 2: an international body would monitor, who knows, some corporate government collusion,
- 23:22Speaker 2: the amount of mileage you use, not only that, but
- 23:25Speaker 2: your home thermostat, your energy use, your airline travel, and
- 23:28Speaker 2: you would either get subsidies or credits or pay penalties
- 23:32Speaker 2: for that. We had proposals in Europe at the time
- 23:35Speaker 2: for employers to monitor their employees' carbon footprints, you know,
- 23:39Speaker 2: how much they travel. Fast forward, most recently aside, we
- 23:43Speaker 2: all know about the EV mandates and the gas-powered car bans,
- 23:47Speaker 2: but we had CNN, huge article, and this is 2023,
- 23:51Speaker 2: promoting carbon passports for our travel, for the government to
- 23:55Speaker 2: monitor how much we travel. You had Air France actually
- 23:58Speaker 2: go the first step of the Great Reset in 2023,
- 24:03Speaker 2: I believe it was, June. They actually passed a ban
- 24:06Speaker 2: on two-hour flights or less. In other words, you couldn't
- 24:08Speaker 2: fly short haul, didn't apply to private jets, by the way,
- 24:11Speaker 2: just as commercial. You had to force yourself into a car,
- 24:14Speaker 2: a bus, or a train. And by the way, automobiles
- 24:17Speaker 2: have a much higher death rate, so they actually were
- 24:18Speaker 2: killing people by doing that. They couldn't fly that way.
- 24:22Speaker 2: So this has been going on. The UK transport secretary
- 24:27Speaker 2: for Boris Yeltsin, not Boris Yeltsin, but Boris Johnson in England, 2019,
- 24:32Speaker 2: said owning a car was outdated 20th century thinking. And
- 24:36Speaker 2: they have this whole idea. You have people running for
- 24:38Speaker 2: office like Andrew Yang, who wanted to basically abolish private
- 24:42Speaker 2: car ownership, force people into little short-term zip car type rentals. So,
- 24:47Speaker 2: in a way, this Massachusetts Democrat is more of a
- 24:50Speaker 2: moderate because she's not calling for a ban on car ownership.
- 24:53Speaker 2: She's just calling for the government to monitor your miles
- 24:55Speaker 2: and probably penalize you if you drive too much. This
- 24:58Speaker 2: is part of that whole larger war. And again, Donald
- 25:01Speaker 2: Trump is not only saving America from this, he's saving
- 25:04Speaker 2: the West. We're seeing Argentina pile on. We're seeing Eastern
- 25:08Speaker 2: Europe and all throughout Europe, the German elections, there's been
- 25:10Speaker 2: a Trump effect. that's happening. But essentially, their goal was
- 25:14Speaker 2: to ration and restrict energy, ration and restrict our freedom
- 25:18Speaker 2: of movement, and ration and restrict our food supply. And
- 25:21Speaker 2: those were among other things, like going after free speech
- 25:25Speaker 2: and other things. But those three things were some of
- 25:27Speaker 2: the bedrocks of it. And we're still seeing the Democrats
- 25:30Speaker 2: like this in Massachusetts pushing that agenda in the United States.
- 25:33Speaker 2: By the way, one other key victory as it relates
- 25:35Speaker 2: to this was the Senate voted, and Donald Trump's about
- 25:38Speaker 2: to sign, if he hasn't signed it already, the getting
- 25:42Speaker 2: rid of this California waiver. It sounds like boring, bureaucratic,
- 25:45Speaker 2: but here's what it goes back to. It's a waiver
- 25:47Speaker 2: in the old Clean Air Act that allowed California to
- 25:50Speaker 2: set its own auto emission standards. And by doing so,
- 25:54Speaker 2: you ended up with Gavin Newsom in recent decades in
- 25:57Speaker 2: California in general, setting U.S. auto policy and environmental policy
- 26:03Speaker 2: because all these other states followed it, 11 states up
- 26:05Speaker 2: to 40%. And so what happens is automakers had to
- 26:08Speaker 2: kowtow to California and Gavin Newsom now has been stripped
- 26:12Speaker 2: of that power because the Senate voted. And by the way,
- 26:15Speaker 2: that's why one ding of Trump Too many, probably at
- 26:18Speaker 2: this point, executive orders, too much invoking of wartime powers
- 26:21Speaker 2: to get stuff. I understand you want to get it done,
- 26:24Speaker 2: but I like to say things like what I just said,
- 26:26Speaker 2: when the Senate and Congress actually votes, that's how you
- 26:29Speaker 2: get more permanence. It's great that you can invoke some,
- 26:32Speaker 2: I don't even like the wartime powers when Democrats do it.
- 26:34Speaker 2: I'm not a big fan when Trump does it. But
- 26:36Speaker 2: executive orders reach a limit. And I think we're almost
- 26:39Speaker 2: at that, certainly in my world. I haven't studied it.
- 26:41Speaker 2: And now we need the GOP Congress. We need Speaker Johnson.
- 26:45Speaker 2: We need the Senate. We need them to start following
- 26:47Speaker 2: through and legislating because that's how you get more permanence
- 26:50Speaker 2: as well. You can't last time around. We never had that.
- 26:53Speaker 2: We just had the Trump executive orders, which were overturned.
- 26:56Speaker 2: And different agencies had different directors and changed policy. But again,
- 26:59Speaker 2: that's all easily reversible with the next president unless Congress
- 27:03Speaker 2: follows through and unless you take the steps like eliminating
- 27:06Speaker 2: the endangerment, finding the CO2, and pulling us out of
- 27:09Speaker 2: this whole UN framework.
- 27:11Speaker 1: Listen, Mark, you're so right about that. And everybody on
- 27:13Speaker 1: this show agrees that Congress needs to start acting. We
- 27:17Speaker 1: have a very limited amount of time before we very
- 27:20Speaker 1: likely lose Congress. And we're at a standstill. these days
- 27:25Speaker 1: are critical and we're seeing not a lot of movement.
- 27:27Speaker 1: I'll say about the freedom of movement thing, Mark, we've
- 27:29Speaker 1: talked about on this show often, the rise of the
- 27:32Speaker 1: surveillance state and the way that everything we do and
- 27:36Speaker 1: say and even just think is being monitored. They are
- 27:42Speaker 1: centralizing and synthesizing and creating profiles for people with all
- 27:48Speaker 1: the information they possibly could in a very Orwellian way.
- 27:51Speaker 1: And when you start limiting freedom of movement, and you
- 27:53Speaker 1: couple that with the surveillance state, it starts to look
- 27:56Speaker 1: very dystopian. And it makes me really take pause and wonder,
- 28:00Speaker 1: what are the intentions here? I want to talk to you, Mark,
- 28:03Speaker 1: about Greta Thunberg. She, of course, was so famous when she,
- 28:07Speaker 1: I think she was 15 or 14 when she first
- 28:10Speaker 1: gave that speech, where she said, how dare you? You've
- 28:13Speaker 1: stolen our futures. And now she is still in the media,
- 28:18Speaker 1: but not quite in the same way she used to be, Mark,
- 28:21Speaker 1: she doesn't seem to have the same kind of institutional
- 28:25Speaker 1: climate pull that she used to. I could be wrong
- 28:27Speaker 1: about this, but the observation for me and for many
- 28:31Speaker 1: others is that she has kind of gone a little
- 28:34Speaker 1: bit more radically to the left and now doesn't have
- 28:37Speaker 1: the same kind of institutional support that she used to.
- 28:39Speaker 1: So Mark, I want to get your reaction to this.
- 28:41Speaker 1: This is just a snippet of Greta's new messaging these days.
- 28:46Speaker 1: She's really taken the climate activism to a A new
- 28:50Speaker 1: political angle. Take a listen.
- 28:52Speaker 4: Fossil fuel companies are not stealing our future. When we
- 28:56Speaker 4: see the children of Gaza killed by Israel's war machine,
- 28:59Speaker 4: their homes burnt, schools bombed and families destroyed, all fueled
- 29:03Speaker 4: and funded by gas corporations like Chevron, what kind of
- 29:06Speaker 4: future do we have if we cannot stop this genocide today?
- 29:10Speaker 4: Because it's all connected. From owning and operating the two
- 29:13Speaker 4: largest Israeli-claimed gas fields supplying Israeli genocide and apartheid to
- 29:18Speaker 4: causing the world's worst oil-related environmental disaster, deliberately dumping over
- 29:23Speaker 4: 60 billion gallons of oil waste into the Ecuadorian Amazon.
- 29:27Speaker 4: Chevron has made it clear they do not care about
- 29:30Speaker 4: our planet or people. But we are not powerless. Together
- 29:35Speaker 4: we can hold Chevron accountable by stopping business as usual.
- 29:39Speaker 4: So join us by boycotting Chevron. On May 21st, activists
- 29:44Speaker 4: around the world will be participating in Anti-Chevron Day, a
- 29:47Speaker 4: global day of action to protest Chevron's climate destruction and
- 29:51Speaker 4: complicity in Israeli genocide and apartheid. Join the Day of
- 29:54Speaker 4: Action and learn more about the BDS movement's BioLink, because
- 29:58Speaker 4: a livable future means justice now, and there can be
- 30:01Speaker 4: no climate justice without Palestinian liberation.
- 30:04Speaker 1: So no climate justice without Palestinian liberation. And Mark, I'm
- 30:08Speaker 1: fascinated by this. I really am, because it seems like
- 30:11Speaker 1: she's losing a lot of the climate elite's institutional support
- 30:15Speaker 1: as she's starting to get more radically left-wing and embrace
- 30:19Speaker 1: the sort of, I don't know, the more.
- 30:23Speaker 1: A pro-Palestine avenue.
- 30:25Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 30:25Speaker 1: I'm fascinated by what's happened here and to her and
- 30:28Speaker 1: what you make of perhaps her lack of support.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Yeah, well, first of all, she's absolutely reaching there. I mean,
- 30:34Speaker 2: you could go to any country with policies you disagree
- 30:36Speaker 2: with and say, well, there's an oil company doing business
- 30:39Speaker 2: with that country. We should, you know, they can't be
- 30:41Speaker 2: doing that. Or you could do that with food companies.
- 30:43Speaker 2: You could do that with anything. She's really reaching. Now,
- 30:46Speaker 2: the story of Greta and why she has arrived at
- 30:48Speaker 2: where she is, You have to go back. She was
- 30:50Speaker 2: a creation, essentially, by the deep state or the environmental left,
- 30:55Speaker 2: I will call it at that point, as a tool
- 30:57Speaker 2: of the deep state. Her mother was an opera singer.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Her father was involved in environmental groups. She never actually went.
- 31:03Speaker 2: You remember the whole story of her? She skipped school
- 31:06Speaker 2: to protest climate. She actually never went to school because
- 31:09Speaker 2: she was at a homeschool program at the time. It's
- 31:11Speaker 2: a minor point, more for comedic effect. But she never
- 31:13Speaker 2: was actually in the classroom in that regard. And she
- 31:16Speaker 2: actually started that with the blessing of the environmental establishment
- 31:22Speaker 2: in Sweden, which then got picked up, and she became
- 31:25Speaker 2: the spokesman for the UN. She was at every UN
- 31:27Speaker 2: climate summit. I think it was in Madrid, 2019, when
- 31:31Speaker 2: she was timed as the person of the year or
- 31:35Speaker 2: whatever their motto is for her. She was their keynote.
- 31:39Speaker 2: She was their ambassador on climate. She was the spokesman
- 31:42Speaker 2: on everything. Well, what happened? By Scotland, which I was
- 31:45Speaker 2: at that UN summit, Greta made an announcement. And this
- 31:48Speaker 2: is where it went south for her with the climate agenda.
- 31:50Speaker 2: She said that she is not attending the UN. She
- 31:53Speaker 2: was becoming increasingly disheartened with them because the United Nations
- 31:57Speaker 2: was nothing about greenwashing. And she called the whole process
- 32:00Speaker 2: a scam that didn't do anything about climate change. That
- 32:03Speaker 2: was music to my ears at the time. At the summit,
- 32:06Speaker 2: I issued it. We had a press conference and issued statements.
- 32:09Speaker 2: We support Greta. We rarely agree with her. But this
- 32:11Speaker 2: is the first time she, and I actually think she
- 32:14Speaker 2: was genuine. Here's the thing. I do think she's genuine.
- 32:17Speaker 2: She looked at it. If she was brainwashed, you know,
- 32:19Speaker 2: these were brainwashed since she was 13, 14 on this issue.
- 32:22Speaker 2: And she was in the inner workings of the UN,
- 32:24Speaker 2: giving speeches, seeing it all work, and was seeing literally
- 32:28Speaker 2: no progress. Everything I just opened the show with telling
- 32:30Speaker 2: you that emissions continue to go up. There's no criteria
- 32:34Speaker 2: to solve this. It's all just rhetoric. They're all enriching themselves.
- 32:37Speaker 2: It's all about climate slush funds. She recognized that. She
- 32:41Speaker 2: was then booted. She didn't show up. The next year,
- 32:44Speaker 2: they hired someone named, her first name is failing me,
- 32:48Speaker 2: but her last name was Kanani, a blonde, Western-style spokeswoman
- 32:53Speaker 2: who became the new ambassador by the United Nations. She
- 32:57Speaker 2: was all over the place. Sophia was her name. Sophia
- 32:59Speaker 2: Kanani essentially replaced Greta in the next couple summits, and
- 33:03Speaker 2: she became the face of youth for the climate issue.
- 33:06Speaker 2: So that was what happened to Greta. She was literally
- 33:10Speaker 2: She left voluntarily and then was permanently removed from the
- 33:13Speaker 2: climate movement. So now I think I'd hate to say
- 33:16Speaker 2: some people said she's a hired gun for whatever liberal cause.
- 33:20Speaker 2: I'm not I think she's a probably a true believer
- 33:22Speaker 2: of what she gets involved in. I do think she
- 33:25Speaker 2: was reaching there with her analogies about, you know, Palestine
- 33:28Speaker 2: and the oil company and all that climate justice and nonsense.
- 33:31Speaker 2: But I just think she's an activist without a home.
- 33:35Speaker 2: She's rejected climate. Climate's rejected her because she doesn't like
- 33:39Speaker 2: any of the way it's done. She ended up teaming
- 33:40Speaker 2: up with a real radical in England, one of her mentors,
- 33:45Speaker 2: who literally believes in stopping all modern agriculture and banning
- 33:50Speaker 2: all production of meat. And George Monbiot is his name
- 33:54Speaker 2: in England. So she became even more and more radicalized
- 33:57Speaker 2: after she left the U.N. Think of what you will.
- 34:00Speaker 2: But the U.N., the U.N. at least puts on the
- 34:02Speaker 2: face of the mainstream and the patina of the establishment.
- 34:06Speaker 2: Once Greta left that, she's now into her own activist world.
- 34:10Speaker 2: And I think she's looking to risk her life. She's
- 34:13Speaker 2: looking for some kind of martyrdom, because if you're looking,
- 34:15Speaker 2: I'm hearing now they're going to be She's looking for
- 34:18Speaker 2: like an armed confrontation where she has her life at risk.
- 34:21Speaker 2: So I think she's either growing increasingly attention seeking or
- 34:24Speaker 2: she's so into the the cause that she's willing to
- 34:28Speaker 2: risk her life. We'll see how this turns out.
- 34:30Speaker 1: Listen, Mark, I think she's lost the plot on on
- 34:32Speaker 1: her analysis. I agree with you. But I do think
- 34:34Speaker 1: that she's a true believer.
- 34:36Speaker 2: I think so, too.
- 34:37Speaker 1: I find her fascinating because she she obviously cares so
- 34:41Speaker 1: deeply about this. And I don't agree with any of
- 34:44Speaker 1: her policy prescriptions. And I think that her analysis about
- 34:47Speaker 1: Palestine and Israel is wrong. But at the same time,
- 34:49Speaker 1: I have to respect that she seems to actually care
- 34:52Speaker 1: about the environment. And she called out these frauds, these
- 34:57Speaker 1: green frauds who are liars, who say that it's about
- 35:01Speaker 1: the climate. And we really know that, of course, it
- 35:04Speaker 1: is not. And I hope that perhaps, and maybe I'm
- 35:07Speaker 1: wrong about this, Mark, but I hope that perhaps more
- 35:10Speaker 1: politicians radically left-wing people who actually care about the climate
- 35:14Speaker 1: in an authentic way will notice how authoritarian and technocratic
- 35:19Speaker 1: these climate cultists really are, because that's the true threat.
- 35:23Speaker 1: I don't really care. If you want to be crazy
- 35:25Speaker 1: and you want to compost and you don't want to
- 35:26Speaker 1: use any energy, that's fine. Do that on your own.
- 35:29Speaker 1: It is when we start to limit food supply and
- 35:32Speaker 1: we start to limit freedom of movement for everybody that
- 35:36Speaker 1: I get really concerned. So Mark, I don't know what
- 35:38Speaker 1: your thoughts are on that. Do you think that there's
- 35:40Speaker 1: a possibility that people on the left will start to
- 35:44Speaker 1: wake up like Greta to what places like the UN
- 35:47Speaker 1: and WF are actually about. Because we're seeing right now,
- 35:50Speaker 1: even in MAGA world, a realignment where there are uncommon
- 35:55Speaker 1: alliances being had. At parties that were traditionally separate, Republican
- 35:59Speaker 1: and Democrat, the lines are getting blurred. And you have
- 36:01Speaker 1: people like Batyongar Sargon, who we had on the show
- 36:04Speaker 1: a while ago, who was a longtime Democrat, say, I
- 36:07Speaker 1: love what Trump is doing. I can get behind this.
- 36:09Speaker 1: Do you think that that's a possibility? Yes.
- 36:12Speaker 2: In fact, I did a whole chapter on that in
- 36:15Speaker 2: my book, The Great Reset. It's really, again, it goes
- 36:17Speaker 2: back COVID-19. Looking back, the lockdowns may not have been,
- 36:21Speaker 2: you know, maybe there was a, let me put it
- 36:23Speaker 2: this way, there was a silver lining in it because
- 36:26Speaker 2: I think it was a red pill moment for so
- 36:28Speaker 2: much of the American left. You mentioned the Newsweek, I'm
- 36:33Speaker 2: having trouble with names, Sorana Bacek.
- 36:35Speaker 1: Yeah, Batya Ungar Sargon.
- 36:36Speaker 2: Yeah, Sargon. Yes. And then you have add to that
- 36:39Speaker 2: Jimmy Dore, add to that Naomi Wolf, add to that
- 36:43Speaker 2: people like Dave Rubin and others and add to that
- 36:47Speaker 2: the even Michael Schellenberger, who was pre-COVID, but he's another
- 36:51Speaker 2: recent survivor. you know, relatively recent, a former Marxist who's
- 36:55Speaker 2: now written eloquently. He's actually apologized for his role in
- 36:58Speaker 2: the climate scare. But in the case of someone like
- 37:00Speaker 2: Jimmy Dore, who was a progressive, he was on the
- 37:01Speaker 2: Young Turks, he was considered real liberal, big Bernie Sanders
- 37:05Speaker 2: supporter way back. He now says... And he does videos
- 37:08Speaker 2: on this. I used to believe in climate change. I
- 37:11Speaker 2: no longer trust anything they say. I realize we were
- 37:14Speaker 2: lied to. And he does videos about the greening of
- 37:16Speaker 2: the earth now. I mean, these are major things. RFK Jr.
- 37:19Speaker 2: is probably the biggest example. This was a guy I
- 37:21Speaker 2: interviewed at the 2014 New York City Climate March. He
- 37:24Speaker 2: wanted to jail climate deniers, punish politicians who were skeptical.
- 37:28Speaker 2: He wanted to put energy CEOs at the Hague in
- 37:32Speaker 2: jail with all the other war criminals. And in his phrase,
- 37:35Speaker 2: three squares and a cot. Three hot meals in a cot.
- 37:38Speaker 2: And then he runs for president in 2023 when he announced,
- 37:43Speaker 2: he said, I'm not going to talk about climate in
- 37:44Speaker 2: this campaign. I don't care if you believe in it
- 37:47Speaker 2: or not. I believe climate has now been hijacked by
- 37:49Speaker 2: the World Economic Forum and the United Nations for totalitarian
- 37:52Speaker 2: control of society. Boom. And that was done because of
- 37:56Speaker 2: the COVID lockdowns. That's the kind of progress that climate
- 37:59Speaker 2: skepticism has made and only in America and in the left.
- 38:03Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. I've never thought I'd see it so easily.
- 38:07Speaker 1: Mark, that just makes me so happy. I sense that
- 38:10Speaker 1: as well, but you've been following so much more. The
- 38:12Speaker 1: way you just laid it out, it makes me really optimistic.
- 38:15Speaker 1: We just have to keep pounding the drum on this
- 38:18Speaker 1: one and continuing to tell people what this is all
- 38:21Speaker 1: about by revealing the ulterior motives, which are so obvious.
- 38:25Speaker 1: Just if you look at the way that these people
- 38:27Speaker 1: live their lives, homes on the beach, they're not going
- 38:30Speaker 1: to be underwater in five years if they have a
- 38:32Speaker 1: mansion on the coast. private jets and SUVs. The entire
- 38:38Speaker 1: thing is a farce. So Mark, I'm so grateful to you,
- 38:42Speaker 1: to your insights, to the fight that you have been in.
- 38:45Speaker 1: Where can people go to follow you and follow all
- 38:49Speaker 1: the work that you've been doing?
- 38:50Speaker 2: Yeah, go to climatedepot.com. And my most recent book is
- 38:54Speaker 2: The Great Reset, Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown. I'm
- 38:57Speaker 2: also at Twitter at climate depot. Just wanted to add
- 38:59Speaker 2: one thing.
- 39:00Speaker 1: Yes.
- 39:00Speaker 2: China built two coal plants every week last year in 2024.
- 39:06Speaker 2: And 85 percent of the 21st century carbon dioxide emissions,
- 39:09Speaker 2: if you're a climate activist out there watching, will come
- 39:12Speaker 2: from China, India and Africa. So as you said earlier,
- 39:17Speaker 2: if you actually are still on this climate bandwagon, you're
- 39:20Speaker 2: going after the developing world. You're going to have to
- 39:22Speaker 2: pound Africans into submission not to develop like the West
- 39:27Speaker 2: and keep them locked in poverty. So it's now become...
- 39:30Speaker 2: increasingly immoral to even advocate these climate policies because we
- 39:34Speaker 2: already know the more you advocate UN style climate policies,
- 39:39Speaker 2: CO2 continues to go up because all you're doing is
- 39:41Speaker 2: outsourcing it to countries with poor human rights and emission
- 39:44Speaker 2: and technology. And we also know that the big CO2 bomb,
- 39:48Speaker 2: if you're worried about CO2, is coming from the developing
- 39:51Speaker 2: world in this whole century. So it's a fascinating world.
- 39:54Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Avita, for the time to talk
- 39:57Speaker 2: about this. I appreciate it.
- 39:59Speaker 1: Well, you too, Mark. It does feel like such a farce.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Everything that they say ends up actually hurting the vulnerable
- 40:05Speaker 1: in society, the people that they claim to care about.
- 40:07Speaker 1: the most about, they end up getting hurt the most. Again, Mark,
- 40:11Speaker 1: I so appreciate all the work you've done, everything that
- 40:14Speaker 1: you have done on this topic and for joining the show.

- 40:44Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
- 40:47Speaker 3: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
- 40:50Speaker 3: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
- 40:53Speaker 3: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
- 40:56Speaker 3: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
- 41:00Speaker 2: That is it. This is not a football game. If
- 41:03Speaker 2: you vote, we will win. It is not complicated. The
