COVID's over, it's been over. It's not a threat worldwide. People forgot about it. They want to forget about it. And so what is the media doing? What are they reporting on? Well, if people don't remember two years ago, Project Veritas in an undercover camera caught a CNN technical director at the news agency with footage that looked like this. Take a listen. I think there's just like a COVID fatigue. So like whenever a new story comes up, they're going to latch on it. They've already announced in her office that once the public will be open to it, we're going to start focusing mainly on climate climate, like global warming. And like that's going to be our next like, I don't know, like, what's the other work for it? It's our, it's our focus. Like our focus was to get Trump out of office. right without saying it that's what it was right so our next thing is going to be for climate change

awareness what does that look like i don't know i'm not sure i have a feeling it's just going to be like constantly showing videos of like decline and ice and weather warming up and like the effects having an economy and i really don't even ahead of the network like just Who's that? Is that there? Zucker, yeah. I imagine that he's got his counsel and they've all like discussed like where they think. So that's like the next pandemic like story like that will, yeah, that will be to death. But that one's got longevity. You know what I mean? It's not like, does it definitive ending to the pandemic or, you know, like it'll taper off to to a point that it's not a problem anymore.

Probably it's going to take the years. So they'll probably be able to promote that for quite a bit. But, okay. That is such a sad display for American journalism. And it's true, I've worked at CBS. And you can see, I find the emotions around these when you watch the people. Like he's obviously on a date trying to impress somebody.

And you realize in the middle of it, as cool as it may sound that he knows all, this he's also I think recognizing boy this is really sounding like I'm just a shill for some dark force that doesn't really actually report on the news we just you know beat something to death as he says so yeah yeah and yeah and for the people out there saying the media is it's one big conspiracy they decide what they're going to report on in his concerted effort and people will be called conspiracy for this but he's saying Zucker has a council I'm sure he just goes to

his counsel and gets his talking point and here we go we're gonna beat it to So let's look at CNN reporting because you can actually see the handoff from COVID. This is an article here in 2020. Pope Francis, coronavirus pandemic could be nature's response to climate crisis. There you go. There's the ship. And then, you know, as he says, what are we going to show? Scary stuff. Simulation shows what sea level rise would look like in our cities. So here we go again. Cities are going to be swamped. And then another one, how the climate crisis fuels gender inequality. So again, you have to tie it in to everything that's popular. And so what we also have now is, these kind of like self-proclaimed climate gurus coming out and in pontificating about what's going to happen and scaring people.

One of them is Hillary Clinton. So take a look at what she had to say recently. We're seeing and beginning to pay attention and to count and record the deaths that are related to climate and by far the biggest killer is extreme heat. I mean, even in Europe last summer, which has the ability. to count and figure out what happened, they recorded 61,000 deaths because of the heat in Europe. We don't have that kind of number yet from Africa, Asia, Latin America, but we know and estimate that we probably could measure about 500,000 deaths. And the majority of those are women and girls, and particularly pregnant women.

This whole thing. I mean, I just, it's getting so stupid. And I think it's, I hope it backfires. I hope that it starts triggering this hypnosis like people by breaking people out of their hypnosis. Because think about it. What is she talking about that heat causes death? I mean, we live on a planet with a sun. The sun has, you know, the summer period. She talks about Africa. What's happening in Africa? I mean, it made me think the people in Africa, boy, this summer is a doozy. you know, compared to the last five. I mean, you live in a desert. It's hot, right? Or, you know, how many people were dying before you had air conditioning? Like the heat was here. It's been here. It's a part of what living on this planet.

And meanwhile, you're probably having rolling blackouts because you don't have a coal-fired plant to fire up, you know, your air conditioning system. So what does that have to play in? But it just shows how absurd is we're talking about literally a few degrees difference. And now they want to claim a half a million deaths to scare everybody. Right. And we have better things to do with our times and fact check Hillary Clinton, but we're going to take a second to do that. Okay.

So she says, look, we're just starting to count this now, and it turns out, no you're not. This is a study right here. It's not a Forbes, so you know you have to dig too far. Excess heat can kill, but extreme cold still causes more fatalities. Remember, she said heat causes way more fatalities. It says here, this was a study that looked at a decade of data. According to the 2021 study published in the Lancet Planetary Health, cold is far more deadly for every death linked to heat. are connected to cold. So that's done. All right, so let's jump to. I agree. Yeah, ice and ice age

would be a far more dangerous prospect. And I think about that. Like I've come from Colorado. You've been on top of a mountain and just you hear about people getting lost. Like if I got lost out here right now and it's about five degrees, how long do I last? And then I'll be, you know, in a desert somewhere, Mojave Desert, middle of the summer. My parents just loved a camp in Utah in August, not sure why. We're standing there and go, you know what? I can probably make it a few days here. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Forget it. about an ice age, how about coming into a winter like we're coming into here and with grids that may collapse or governments that say you can't heat your home above a certain amount of degrees.

So this is what we're talking about. And this brings us to a next individual in this conversation, John Kerry. Now, he was tapped by President Biden to kind of lead the U.S. climate conversation. So he flies around on his jets and he goes to these conferences and he talks about things like this. Now, this is John Kerry on Cole. Take a listen. Okay. The dirtiest fuel in the world is coal, and we should stop killing ourselves using that coal, and that would do more to help health and change the flow of the carbon crisis. It would join us together on a similar path and be one of the most salutary things we could

do. There shouldn't be any more coal-fired power plants permitted anywhere in the world. That's how you can do something for health. And the reality is that we're not doing it. All right. So you hear him say, they're linking it to health now. You're always going to have to link it to health. The WHO pandemic treaty has the one health approach where it started as pandemic response, but they looped in the climate. They looped in all animals, all people. So this is all one conversation now. So when you're hearing this, you're going, wait a minute, health, we're talking about. That's what we're talking about. But the problem is coal is a cheap abundant heating source. It's a cheap abundant way to power grid.

I mean, we built the United States of America using coal as an energy source. And I can't help but look at these things. Look, I've said it before. I want clean air. There's cleaner ways to do things. We should be moving there in a sensible way. But this idea of stopping it for the whole world is ridiculous. It looks to me like you just want to make sure India never has a thriving economy or it has a thriving productions.

China isn't listening to any of this. I'm sure you're about to talk about. But, I mean, it just looks to me. This is just, again, world dominance. those of us that built infrastructure and, you know, can move over in some level to other sources of energy. A country that needs to build up, India, Africa, they're screwed if they can't. Right. And the problem here is the renewables aren't as reliable as we were sold.

And they're also not online to the point where we can just shut down all these coal plants and be fine. And that's what the issue is here. In Texas, here's a headline here. Texas utility rejects plea to restart coal plant ahead of winter. So the state grid operator here is pleading for this plant to rebuttal. restart, decommissioned coal plants. He said, look, the grid, there's another threat to the winter power crisis. We need this thing restarted. Same thing with the mid-Atlantic grid. Here's another headline. Grid operator sounds alarm as coal plant shut down threatens power for millions.

This is for 13 states in a district of a Columbia. But now in China, again, this is really one of our biggest competitors in the international market. What are they doing? Are they doing that? No. Here's at an NPR. NPR, China is building six times more new coal plants than other countries point finds. So let's just keep going with John Kerry here. So now that's John Kerry on energy. Let's talk about John Kerry's look at food. Take a listen. But with a growing population on the planet, we just crossed the threshold of eight billion fellow citizens around the world. We just crossed that in this last year. But emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming by mental.

century on the current course that we are today. Now, a two-degree future could result in an additional 600 million people not getting enough to eat. And you just can't continue to both warm the planet while also expecting to feed it. Doesn't work. I mean, this whole idea that food causes global warming, like the production of food is where this insanity is going. And we've seen, we've been talking about the attack on farms, farming, literally the heartland of America is now under attack by our government. It's really scary stuff. And then you cut to the moments we're all talking about population reductions. Well, you cut the food supply.

It'll do that pretty quick. And, you know, in the context of what we just went through with COVID, those are reckless comments, in my opinion, because the lockdowns have starved millions of people that are living kind of paycheck to paycheck, if you will. And he's saying, we have to choose between feeding people and this 1.5 degrees. What are you talking about? Like, there's people that need food. And that kind of comment, clearly he's putting. So these are the predictions.

He makes these type of predictions. In 2009, he made a doozy that's really continuing to bite him. And we're going to play it here. This was on the polar ice. Take a listen. You have sea ice, which is melting at a rate that the Arctic Ocean now increasingly is exposed. In five years, scientists predicts. we will have the first ice-free Arctic summer.

That exposes more ocean to sunlight. Ocean is dark. It consumes more of the heat from the sunlight, which then accelerates the rate of the melting and warming rather than the ice sheet and the snow that used to reflect it back up into the atmosphere. This is where, I mean, and I've said it before, grew up in Boulder, Colorado. I still consider myself an environmentalist, although that name and that word does something. mean what it used to. I want, you know, I want us to have clean air, food, all those things.

But when someone I respect, and I did used to really follow John Kerry, when you look at this statement, the alarm is five years from now, we're going to have no North Pole. The ice sheets will be gone, be the first summer we've ever had that. That didn't happen. That didn't happen in 2014 when it was predicted. It didn't happen in 2020. It hasn't happened now. I mean, And this, and at what point do these people, they expect us to change our lives completely and keep pointing to the scientists and the specialists that know this stuff, but your scientists were so wrong. You've missed this by decades if it's ever going to happen at all.

And why are we ever supposed to listen to you? It's why I'm in the vaccine space. Like when you start, say, wait a minute, well, you just said doesn't add up. What they said about COVID didn't add up. This is like deadly virus. it ends up having, you know, a death rate of, you know, 0.3% at most. Yeah. And this is, this is 2009 he's talking about this. And then he gets chosen. You know, this is a person that either is not listening to the right scientists

or has terrible discernment for information. But he was chosen to be the climate lead for the U.S. And so thankfully, he's been, there's been some pushback on this in committee hearings. This is Congressman Thomas Massey had back and forth with him. We played this before, but we got to play it here too. They actually challenged him and see what happened. Was it a debate or not? You make the choice. Okay. We now know that definitively at no point during the least the past 800,000 years, has

atmospheric CO2 been as high as it is today. When I was in the South Pole, when I was, I wasn't at the South Pole, when I was in McBirdo, we couldn't get the South Pole because of the weather, but I was given a vial of air which said on it cleanest air in the world, it was 401.6 parts per million. That is 50 parts per million already over what scientists say. The reason you chose 800,000 years ago is because for 200 million years before that it was greater than it is today. And I'm going to submit for the record. Yeah, but there weren't human beings.

I mean, there was a different world, folks. We didn't have 7 billion people. So how to get to 2,000 parts per million if we humans weren't here? Because there were all kinds of geologic events happening on Earth which spewed up. Did geology stop? when we got on the planet? Mr. Chairman, this is just not a serious conversation. Your testimony is not serious.

There's winning a debate, and there is winning a debate, and that one hurts. That one hurts, because it is what I keep thinking about. CO2 is what makes plant life grow. You're saying that as, you know, there's more CO2, we're not going to be able to feed people. Isn't it going to get greener? I mean, when I picture the jungles and the dinosaurs and everything,

the COT was much higher then. It looked like the Garden of Eden. It was lush everywhere, no deserts. And so we don't want to return to that. And the greatest point ever, if mankind causes this, what was causing it then? And to like point to geology, what has changed? This Earth's been here for, you know, billions of years. Suddenly this tiny, what is like, you know, hundreds of thousands is a blink of an eye.

What stop? Volcanoes haven't stopped, all of the things moving around. I mean, it just... It's almost like there's cyclical events that continue to happen on the planet. I mean, what's so disturbing is that I think this is going to have a backlash. It's having a backlash with me. It's making me have to push back against things that could make air cleaner for our children to breathe and water cleaner. Because you are so out over the tips of your skis, I can't be with you anymore.

It can't be seen next to you. This is insane what you're saying. There's got to be other ways to discuss this. And just to put it on the table, really, I don't think... I think I've always said, I don't think global warming, that is a control, you know, it's an enslavement system. We should just be talking about, can we have cleaner air that we breathe right now, just right now for our children? We know it causes asthma, things like that. And use, you know, free market forces.

I don't think the electric car is the answer, but if you want to drive an electric car, I think there's certain circumstances in which that makes sense if you're a commuter, things like that, you have a short distances to go. But it shouldn't be everybody has to get one. It's diverse like eating, right? Like, if you eat the same food all the time, you're going to be sick. If you stick to one way of doing things, I just don't think it's your way through. Diversity, there's just no diversity allowed anymore.

And if they're better products, they should be rising to the top and people should choose them. And electric cars have not shown that yet, in my opinion, for my analysis. I have a feeling I want to get into a deeper conversation. This is with our guests coming up. But Jeffrey, great reporting. It's great having you in studio. Thank you so much.
