Mark Morano is the author of The Great Reset, Global Elites and The Permanent Lockdown, and founder of ClimateDepot.com. He is also a regular guest on Tucker Carlson's Tucker Show and hosts The John Hunter Weston Show.
00:00:00.000In other words, if you live under authoritarianism, if you live under government control over every aspect of your life, you're solving viruses, you're solving climate, hey, you're also solving inequity, you're also solving, you know, transgender, whatever issue, whatever the woke issue is, the point is they want control and they'll do whatever they have, whether it's a virus, whether it's climate, you name it, they want to invoke emergency powers.
00:00:23.820That's really what this is about, emergency powers to bypass democracy.
00:00:27.020You may have heard a rumor that apart from the COVID lockdowns that we just got through and are so glad it's over, there are new lockdowns coming, climate lockdowns.
00:00:38.380What? That sounds like a conspiracy theory. That's nuts. What do lockdowns have to do with climate change? That's just crazy stuff, right?
00:00:46.160Unfortunately not. Get this, our next guest, Mark Morano, has proof for us that this is coming.
00:00:52.260He is the author of The Great Reset, Global Elites, and The Permanent Lockdown.
00:00:57.800He started ClimateDepot.com. He is very well read. He is so often on Tucker.
00:01:03.740In fact, he has to go in such a little while, we better get right to this interview.
00:01:08.560This is Mark Morano on The John Hunter Weston Show. Stay tuned.

00:02:42.500Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:02:47.080In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
00:02:52.580Mark, thank you so much for joining us.
00:04:11.840Now, when I say what's happening, this is in 230 medical journals.
00:04:17.040Harvard Medical School is behind this.
00:04:20.380The journal Nature, the most prestigious scientific journal in the world, is behind this.
00:04:25.220They're all coming out with studies now saying unchecked climate change will lead to more viruses.
00:04:30.880Now, what they mean by that is essentially if you don't support the Green New Deal or the UN-Paris Agreement, you're a grandma killer because you're going to create more viruses.
00:04:40.520It's a way to merge these two issues because for years, decades, climate had failed to gain traction.
00:04:45.280Even when Obama had super majorities in the House and Senate, he couldn't get a climate bill passed, which is why he bypassed democracy, went the Chinification of America executive order route.
00:04:55.440But essentially, what we're seeing now is these medical journals, International Energy Agency, a Gates Soros-funded professor actually say, after the COVID lockdowns, we have to now be ready for climate lockdowns or energy lockdowns.
00:05:10.320But they actually use the phrase climate lockdowns.
00:05:12.280A Gates, Bill Gates, George Soros-funded professor used that phrase, not a climate skeptic or anyone else.
00:05:18.820And the gist behind it is you can read these reports where they actually openly say we're going to use the COVID lockdown template or the response from COVID, the same template, as the model for climate.
00:05:29.020Remember, COVID happened, the authority happened because it was declared an emergency, because every governor and mayor got dictatorial powers overnight.
00:05:37.060You can cancel church service, you can close gyms, cancel school, cancel weddings, funerals, issue stay-at-home orders, do curfews.
00:06:04.500So what do I mean by a climate lockdown?
00:06:06.000The Associated Press, the Washington Post, again, these are mainstream media sources, are now telling us that Joe Biden is about to declare a national climate emergency, which will give him 140 new executive powers.
00:06:19.660We already know from all these reports that what they want to do with it.
00:06:24.220They want to start limiting car travel, airplane travel once every three years.
00:06:30.020They're actually openly stating you need to, under a declared climate emergency, you need a moral justification to fly.
00:06:36.020You can't just get in a plane and fly on a vacation because that's immoral in their view.
00:06:40.860They're openly talking about restrictions, energy restrictions.
00:06:45.240We're already seeing it now in Colorado.
00:06:46.860People want to turn their air conditioners colder during a heat wave, but the utility took over the thermostat, declaring an energy emergency.
00:06:53.760California is banning gas-powered cars as a measure to essentially create automobile chaos and create car shortages, a la Cuba or East Germany, where you had to wait for five years on the crappy government Trabant car, the East German government car.
00:07:11.020We're going to see a situation now in the United States where we're going to be on waiting lists for electric cars and banned from buying gas-powered cars.
00:07:17.800So this is what a climate emergency looks like, and the key thing here is the word emergency because people aren't going to vote to stop eating meat.
00:07:27.780They're not going to vote to stop driving gas-powered cars.
00:07:30.440They're not going to vote for VAX mandates or lockdowns or closure of churches.
00:07:41.760It's a denial of democracy because under emergencies, you can pretty much ā government has huge, broad powers.
00:07:48.880And in the book, I go back to the Roman Republic and show that throughout history, the Middle Ages, going to 1930s Germany, even the U.S. with the Patriot Act after 2001, creating the surveillance state against our own citizens, and, of course, COVID and now climate emergency, this is where the greatest abuses of government come against their citizens.
00:08:07.100So that's, in essence, why ā what a climate emergency is going to look like.
00:08:11.640It's a bypassing a democracy with a ginned-up fake emergency so that they can have emergency powers to basically impose what they think we need.
00:08:29.420Okay, in my book, I show that the COVID lockdowns were literally a version of what they'd called for for decades in the climate movement.
00:08:38.520I attend every United Nations Climate Summit, and I'm going to the one in Egypt this year.
00:08:42.640I was at the one last year in Scotland.
00:08:44.080I was at the one in Madrid before that, going back 20 years.
00:08:46.720The Johannesburg, South Africa was my first one in 2002.
00:08:49.540And what these summits call for, they have speakers, they have events, and what they call for is the degrowth movement or planned recessions.
00:08:59.620This is their exact phrase, climate act, was planned recessions to fight global warming.
00:09:04.400And what that means is the government imposes lower economic growth or forces a recession to lower emissions.
00:09:10.820So if you recall, what COVID lockdowns have to do with the climate is they reduced carbon dioxide emissions.
00:09:17.200And they were praised universally by UN chiefs, by climate activist politicians around the world, saying these are great for the environment.
00:09:33.660In November 2019, the United Nations said we needed a 7% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the world in order to meet the UN-Paris climate agreement goals.
00:09:45.840Well, one year later, because of lockdowns, we had a 7% reduction in carbon dioxide.
00:09:50.740So it was almost like the UN called it.
00:09:53.120And seven years prior to lockdown, a UN climate chief named Ivo DeBoer actually said the only way to meet our climate targets is to have a global shutdown of the economy.
00:10:02.740So this idea of shutting down the economy was huge throughout the climate movement long before COVID.
00:10:09.160So when COVID happened, it was like, shazam, this is our solution.
00:10:13.160This is solving both COVID and climate at the same time.
00:10:17.780Whatever you do to address COVID also helps address climate.
00:10:21.120In other words, if you live under authoritarianism, if you live under government control over every aspect of your life, you're solving viruses, you're solving climate.
00:10:48.560So one of the things early on in these climate conferences, right from Cairo on forward, they were talking about its relation to overpopulation.
00:11:07.880Here's what in my previous book, Green Fraud, I go into this in depth.
00:11:11.920Al Gore was at a Bill Gates event with Bill Gates on the stage.
00:11:15.400We featured this in our film Climate Hustle 2 as well.
00:11:19.000And he said Africa is projected to have more people, more population than China and India combined by mid-century.
00:11:26.400And therefore, we need what he called ubiquitous fertility management in order to control the number of Africans.
00:11:32.700So in other words, we have a white, wealthy Western politician, Al Gore, at a Bill Gates event lamenting that there's going to be too many Africans in the year 2050 and that we need fertility management, which could be everything from contraceptive to abortion to who knows, at this point, China's one party.
00:11:49.300Well, we're following so much of what China does.
00:11:51.800Why not impose that on Africa as well?
00:11:56.100I interviewed Hans Schudenhuber, the German climate advisor at a UN climate summit, and he's one of these people who believe the carrying capacity of the earth is only about a billion people.
00:12:06.600Well, we have about, what, 7 billion now, so he wants to deny about 6 billion people.
00:12:10.880That's their long-term goal is to create resource scarcity shortages, and that will naturally help shrink the population in their mind.

00:12:59.700What is your best suggestion for fighting this agenda, for bringing freedom back to our lands and to the world?
00:13:08.020Well, actually, I interviewed VƔclav Klaas, the former president of Czech Republic, and he grew up under communism his whole life.
00:13:16.220He was considered the leading anti-communist intellectual, and he was, of course, censored and had all kinds of problems with the government there.
00:13:24.300But he compared the COVID lockdowns to what they did under Soviet and Eastern Bloc tyranny, and he said they didn't call it social distancing, but it was the same idea.
00:13:35.540They didn't want people to assemble because if they assembled, they would then come up with ideas that the government didn't like.
00:13:41.560They might plan protests, all sorts of things.
00:13:44.140So his idea, the way he actually says the way to fight back against this reset, against these kind of tyrannical lockdowns of government control, you have to defy at every level.
00:13:53.840That means defy mask mandates, defy vaccine passports.
00:13:58.060And I detail in the book about the lowest level of politics, the entry level, the school boards, how angry parents showing up at school board meetings actually created a political rebellion that turned out to a national movement.
00:14:12.280And it turned the election in Virginia.
00:14:16.480So much so that the National Democratic Party did focus groups, and they realized that their own base was going to pay, their own party was going to pay a huge price for all these vaccine mandates and mask mandates.
00:14:28.500Within weeks of this focus group, the Democratic Party did, as reported by the New York Times, they lifted all the vaccine mandates in New York, Baltimore, Washington, L.A., San Francisco.
00:14:39.040The politics had changed, the political, they said the science had changed.
00:14:43.840Well, it was the political science that changed.
00:14:46.500And so the way to fight back is angry parents at a school board fought back, resistance at every level.
00:14:52.280I also give the analogy in the book, the Berlin Wall in 1989 didn't fall live on CNN because the East German government said, ah, 40 years of Soviet domination, that's enough.
00:15:02.440Let's free the people of Eastern Europe and East Germany.
00:15:05.540It fell because people no longer gave their consent to tyranny.
00:15:46.740We've shown that we've done it, and it led by angry parents.
00:15:50.500That's one of the key things, parents fighting back against the tyranny in schools and the COVID theater and critical race theory and transgenderism.
00:15:58.280That motivated parents like we've never seen, and they're winning school board races, and they're sending messages, and it's a ripple effect throughout all of politics.
00:16:06.620One of the weirdest manifestations we've seen to date has been the push on eating bugs.
00:16:34.840Okay, you have to understand what's happening in agriculture.
00:16:37.080So before I specifically say insects, let me just give you the big picture.
00:16:40.020In 2019, the United Nations issued an agricultural report, and in this report, they claim that food was essentially one of the biggest contributors,
00:16:50.060up to 40% of the greenhouse gas emissions, and that we had to change, radically transform modern agriculture.
00:16:55.920So they're going after high-yield agriculture, which has produced and which has literally altered the world since the 1950s and 60s under the tutelage of Norman Borlaug.
00:17:06.680High-yield agriculture has literally fed the world, staved off famines, has been one of the greatest boons to humans in the history of our planet is this modern agricultural revolution.
00:17:18.700The United Nations set out the message that we had to stop nitrogen fertilizer because it created nitrogen oxide, and it was going to be a dangerous warming gas.
00:17:27.060They're even going after our human urine article a couple months ago in Scientific American.
00:17:31.600Your human pee is a greenhouse gas creating dangerous warming, and they're telling us that we have to stop eating meat because there's too much protein.
00:17:39.440I mean, our breath is a toxic pollutant because we exhale CO2.
00:17:46.400You get the idea there's a war on humans?
00:17:47.800Anyway, so they want to go after high-yield agriculture.
00:17:50.180Bill Gates, well, first of all, Politico had a whole feature, I feature this in the book, about a fear over Chinese land monopoly of farmland in the U.S.
00:17:58.600They're gobbling up farms, so there's now investigations.
00:18:20.420He's a monopolist, very hard to fight.
00:18:23.380At least China, it's a foreign entity.
00:18:25.100You figure we could throw them out some way a lot easier than you can get rid of Bill Gates.
00:18:28.440But anyway, so what's Bill Gates' agenda when he buys all this farmland?
00:18:31.720He's going to have huge sway in agricultural policy.
00:18:34.220His number one goal is to stop the eating of meat.
00:18:39.040And by doing so, he's not necessarily pushing these vegetable oil processed impossible gross burgers.
00:18:44.520No, he is pushing what's called synthetic meat.
00:18:48.940Synthetic meat is where you get stem cells from a cow or a chicken, and then you get the placenta blood from the dead, unborn cow or chicken.
00:18:56.580You put it in a lab for months, and it's susceptible to viruses and disease.
00:19:03.920It grows into some kind of mutant animal pod.
00:19:07.940And then when it's ready to be turned into meat, they get a 3D printer, and they process it through that, and they try to make it look authentic.
00:19:15.040And this is what he wants people eating.
00:19:17.240This is what they're spending billions of dollars investing.
00:19:21.900The other thing is they are pushing hard because they want to ban meat.
00:19:26.000They're pushing hard now to promote insects as a replacement.
00:19:30.260Stephen Colbert had Hollywood celebrities on a few weeks ago touting insect powder as protein powder, normalizing it.
00:19:37.840Australia just introduced 1,000 and 1,000 schools insect cricket snacks to kids with the explicit goal of telling the kids to go home and pester their parents in order to get these snacks because they're healthy.
00:19:52.400You can save the planet by eating cricket snacks.
00:19:55.520In the defense of the kids, the kids are eating what looks like potato chips.
00:19:59.220It's a cricket paste, which they throw the oil and the fat and all the grease and the barbecue salt and all that processed and all that seasoning.
00:20:07.200So you really don't know what you're eating.
00:20:08.380It doesn't taste like insects, but it's a psychological operation.
00:21:03.680This craziness about we can't fly anywhere, but the people who are pushing this agenda, they fly everywhere.
00:21:10.360Here in Canada, Prime Minister Trudeau has made of the, you know, of jet setting around the world, just a very common weekly experience.
00:21:18.260The same people saying, oh, but we have to restrict our travel for the sake of the environment.
00:21:22.940This is a huge part of the Great Reset is the limits on your freedom.
00:21:32.620And I go into great lengths to show you how COVID lockdowns and a climate lockdown are so similar because they literally have the same goal.
00:21:40.940They don't want us to have the freedom to get in a car and travel.
00:21:44.260Going after the concept of ownership, that's the key here.
00:21:47.620World Economic Forum just questioned whether car ownership should be allowed.
00:21:51.940Andrew Yang, who ran for the Democratic nomination, called for the end of private car ownership.
00:21:56.700He said we need to have roving fleets of rental electric cars you call up on an app.
00:22:01.440The U.K. Transportation Secretary earlier this year announced that owning a car was 20th century outdated thinking.
00:22:11.980The U.N. had something called the Vancouver Declaration a few years back where they declared owning land leads to concentration of wealth and social inequity.
00:22:21.720So remember, they mean it when they say you'll own nothing and you'll be happy.
00:22:26.220But what they really mean is someone will own something.
00:22:39.940Equity asset firms coming in, all the major cities gobbling up whole neighborhoods.
00:22:44.240We're seeing it happening in farming as distressed farmers because of supply chain issues, because of inflation, going under because of all the lockdowns and these economic policies limiting their production.
00:22:55.360We're seeing it in the Netherlands in real time.
00:23:02.900In many cases, the farmers can stay on their land after they lose ownership of it, and they can then become like serfs and till the land in service to an equity asset company like BlackRock or State Street or maybe their Chinese paymaster or who knows, maybe Bill Gates.
00:23:19.700NBC News reported it's not Bill Gates in the overalls out there who's out there tilling this land.
00:23:26.380It's Bill Gates competing with family-run farms trying to buy it up, and Bill Gates, of course, is crushing them.
