Summary
Kevin Sorbo joins me to talk about his new movie, Climate Hustle 2, and why we need to have a debate about global warming and climate change. He also talks about why climate change is not just a scientific problem anymore, but a political one.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Are they trying to control the climate or are they trying to control you?
00:00:14.540
That's one of the questions put forth by Climate Hustle 2, a movie coming out on Thursday
00:00:23.300
The host of the film is Hercules himself, actor, director, and certainly Hollywood renegade
00:00:40.700
If there was ever a chance of you getting back in the good graces of a lot of your former
00:00:44.880
colleagues in Hollywood, that's gone with this movie, right?
00:00:50.120
I ended up being on camera with it and I narrated it, but I was brought on after all of it was
00:00:59.420
I said, yeah, you just want to endear me more to Hollywood, don't you?
00:01:03.200
But I'm a guy that I always look at both sides of the story and I don't understand why we're
00:01:08.140
so one-sided with the whole thing with the climate change, global warming thing.
00:01:12.380
I learned a lot by watching this thing because I watched it before I narrated it.
00:01:19.240
I've heard enough arguments from the other side as well.
00:01:21.960
But, you know, the mainstream media in America, you know, they plug just the one thing all
00:01:32.240
And I'm glad you brought that up because one of the great things from a narrative perspective,
00:01:36.480
and if you're going to explore this subject in a film about the global warming divide,
00:01:40.760
is that it isn't just a scientific discussion anymore.
00:01:44.400
I'd say arguably we'd all be better off if it were.
00:01:46.960
But now it's become something about financial corruption, about media bias, about Hollywood
00:01:54.160
And I understand that all of those are to some extent explored in Climate Hustle, too.
00:02:01.160
You know, you get a lot of guys that are very knowledgeable, a lot more smarter than I am,
00:02:07.420
I've known this ever since I've been talking about it.
00:02:09.100
I mean, global warming, I've heard about this even in the 90s.
00:02:11.240
They were saying by the year 2000, the coastlines of, you know, Florida and California would be
00:02:20.760
But I just, I look at this and I said, why don't we just take a look at the other side
00:02:28.120
When you talk about the ice caps, the ice caps are doing great.
00:02:32.040
But it comes down to issue now where it's like the abortion issue.
00:02:35.240
It doesn't really necessarily have to do with anything other than anger and hate now.
00:02:41.080
And I know you guys have seen America in our cities down here right now with these Antifa
0.85
00:02:46.000
thugs running around destroying public property, private property, hurting people, killing
00:02:50.540
I mean, it's just gotten absolutely crazy down here.
00:02:55.120
And, you know, this issue is one that, and I'm glad you mentioned earlier on about having
00:02:59.540
a debate and hearing both sides, because this issue is one where people don't even want
00:03:06.040
I know there have been a number of issues where films that have tackled the subject to some
00:03:10.520
extent before can't even find a theater that will let them play, even with a private booking,
00:03:15.200
because people are so terrified of having a debate.
00:03:19.460
And how do you say, hey, listen, we're all about free speech here.
00:03:23.420
And then at the end of it, make up your mind at what you think.
00:03:28.340
I mean, why can't what you worded it was perfectly because that's what we need to do.
00:03:31.880
But unless you do a movie that deals with the end of the world and how bad conservatives
00:03:36.800
are and how bad anybody has an opposing view to climate change is, how do you get past
00:03:42.520
I have no idea because Climate Hustle, the first one, has already been taken off Amazon.
00:03:51.100
I get I'm totally shadow banned on Facebook and Twitter.
00:03:55.660
I'm not getting near the following I had before.
00:03:58.000
I mean, it shows how many people I have, but it's not out there anymore because and they've
00:04:01.060
told me they've banned me a number of times when I post things like, hey, what do you think
00:04:07.220
And then it's just an article saying, well, here's some interesting stories to look at and
00:04:11.420
interesting facts, so-called, from the other side.
00:04:17.020
I mean, it's it's weird what's going on right now, but it's pretty blatant.
00:04:20.240
And the hypocrisy, as I'm trying to say, hypocrisy is pretty blatant.
00:04:26.560
Leo DiCaprio takes his private jet to a place to get off to give a speech about how we all
00:04:32.440
Joaquin Phoenix, a few months ago, took, you know, a first class plane ticket to D.C., gets
00:04:37.000
off and says, you know, we should all give up meat because of the climate.
00:04:39.740
And I have to wonder, these people like just not care about their hypocrisy or do they
00:04:48.640
I think they realize it, but I also think they realize if they want to keep working in
00:04:53.200
Hollywood, they better abide by the quid pro quo out there right now.
00:04:57.440
You better say this or you're going to hurt your career.
00:05:01.680
Ten years ago, I got tired of the hypocrisy and I started, you know, being more vocal about
00:05:07.260
I mean, my agent of many years, I made a lot of money off Hercules and Andromeda off
00:05:14.340
So if it wasn't for independent movies, I wouldn't have a career anymore.
00:05:18.260
It's just like, this is absolutely ridiculous that these people get away with what they get
00:05:25.380
I just think it was so, like I said, there's so much hate.
00:05:42.600
But the facts and the truth are something that is kryptonite to these people.
00:05:47.020
When you mention that they all think this is their meal ticket to stay in Hollywood, are
00:05:51.240
you saying that a lot of them you don't think are actually true believers or even concerned
00:05:55.900
They just realize this is where I have to be to continue to work in this industry now?
00:06:01.560
I'm not going to name names because it's not my place to do it.
00:06:06.140
There's a lot of people out there in Hollywood that will vote for Trump, but they'll never
00:06:10.600
They'll vote, not even for Trump, they'll vote for a Republican over what's going on in the
00:06:15.560
You look at all the major cities in America right now with all these riots are going on,
00:06:22.860
And it blows my mind that people keep voting these people back in when they're destroying
00:06:33.680
That's where people can get information, climatehustle2.com.
00:06:36.780
And I better say it or they'll get mad at me for not letting people.
00:06:39.200
Don't worry, we'll have a bar up on the screen as well.
00:06:41.920
So we won't blame you if I end up taking us off track there.
00:06:44.800
But let me actually ask you what drew you to the movie, because I know you did mention
00:06:50.520
But is this an issue that you've been interested in for a while, or was it one that really has
00:06:56.940
I've been interested forever, because it's always out there.
00:07:03.080
It's interesting on the same, whatever they're talking about, if it's the same subject, how
00:07:10.180
So it's worse than, you know, the three sides of a story, yours, mine, the cold, hard truth.
00:07:16.760
It's like multiple news, like we have to have multiple genders now.
0.78
00:07:19.840
So it's not near and dear to my heart, but I kind of laugh at what was going on.
00:07:25.320
And I remember when that big Valdez, that big spill we had up in-
00:07:32.240
And, you know, one of the actors down on Johnny Carson's show goes, this is going to take
00:07:37.960
Well, it got back to normal a lot more than it's ever been.
00:07:42.480
I mean, Mother Nature is a much more strong candidate than the rest of the world.
0.97
00:07:49.240
I'm not opposed to that, because it's created a lot of jobs, too.
00:07:51.500
But it's created a lot of corruption on the other side.
00:07:53.660
So I just get tired of people using this as a weapon to take away tax dollars that could
00:07:59.880
be going to something that's far more important than worrying about one degree in the temperature
00:08:05.600
Yeah, and that's where it gets back to the tagline of the movie, which is the control
00:08:11.800
And we see this, especially in Canada, of course, where the oil sector is huge, where
00:08:15.680
the free market is doing a lot of the things to greenify on their own.
00:08:20.020
And then you get, on the other hand, people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other politicians
00:08:24.800
and some of your former colleagues in Hollywood that are saying, you know what, we need to
00:08:31.180
The world's going to end in 12 years, eight years.
00:08:33.340
And I think eventually it's probably going to be before this interview ends that the
00:08:36.400
world is going to end by one prediction or another.
00:08:43.240
You know, everything, if it's not in 2000, it's another 10 years or 20 years from now.
00:08:46.980
Now, control is what's going on right now with COVID, right?
00:08:53.420
And people get, you know, FDR, one of our presidents way back in the day of the impression,
00:08:59.720
Well, a lot of people are fearing it right now.
00:09:01.840
You know, I'm not a firm believer in the whole mask thing.
00:09:05.140
I think that there is, that we have a virus that's out there.
00:09:09.160
I'm not going to name who they are, where they're from, where they're from, where they're
00:09:12.400
And they're saying the masks don't stop this virus.
00:09:19.820
And people get angry if you don't have a mask on.
00:09:21.760
And people are wearing masks because they're told they have to wear them.
00:09:26.520
And the same thing has happened in the climate argument.
00:09:37.720
So, you know, if I was a smart guy, I would have followed his road and invested in the
00:09:45.500
Yeah, well, maybe, you know, Climate Hustle 2 can be the anti-inconvenient truth as well
00:09:49.700
and do something as significant as what that film did on the other side.
00:09:54.640
Because, you know, my big frustration, and in retrospect, I think I can be very grateful
00:09:58.820
that at least an inconvenient truth was very open about its agenda.
00:10:02.340
The problem now is that this narrative gets slipped into pretty much anything.
00:10:06.520
I was watching, I can't remember what movie it was.
00:10:08.280
It was some animated movie like Ice Age or Happy Feet.
00:10:11.340
And at the end, they pivoted to like this, you know, global UN commitment to, you know,
00:10:15.760
saving the environment or something like that when you think you've just had a nice little
00:10:20.220
And that, I think, is probably the worst part of this is that there's really no safe haven
00:10:33.880
If it's not a direct movie about the end of the world, there's always issues that they're
00:10:38.100
I mean, they do it at the BBC does it with the Richard Attenborough thing, you know,
00:10:41.460
about the blue ocean and all these different things.
00:10:43.500
They always throw it in and it gets all dramatic, you know.
00:10:45.920
Yeah, you can't just enjoy the cute turtle and the nice little fish anymore.
00:10:51.200
It's like the Emmys and the Golden Globes and the Oscars.
00:10:53.700
Every actor gets up there now and gets political.
00:10:56.140
I still think Joe Pesci did the best job when he won a supporting actor for Raging Bullying.
00:11:09.520
You can scream socialism all you want in Hollywood.
00:11:12.820
But, you know, a lot of those A-list actors, they're rich enough to be socialist.
00:11:17.560
But Universal, Disney, they're all capitalist business.
00:11:22.260
But it's this whole disguise saying, you know, look up, we care so much more than the rest of you.
00:11:31.460
I mean, America, the two worst countries in the world that I've read about with all the stuff they're spewing in the atmosphere is China and India.
1.00
00:11:40.880
But America is one of the lowest ones on there.
00:11:43.280
And we throw the most money at this thing when we have too many more problems with other things that need to be, you know, brought attention to.
00:11:49.700
And that's even more exaggerated in Canada, which is just a, you know, a teeny tiny speck in the world compared to a lot of other nations.
00:11:56.040
Yet our politicians say that we need to get taxed up the yin-yang to do all of these other things.
00:12:03.220
Just let me ask you in closing here, Kevin, because you talked about the Hollywood narrative there.
00:12:08.400
We had a couple of weeks ago the Oscars come out and say all of a sudden for Best Picture, a film to be nominated, has to check off all these diversity and inclusion boxes.
00:12:17.360
Do you think this is the death of art or has that happened long ago by this point?
00:12:21.860
Well, it's gotten worse and worse as it goes along.
00:12:31.220
But to sit there now and say, well, you have to have this and to fill a diversity quota, then my argument for that is, okay, then in the NBA and the NFL, we need more diversity.
00:12:42.340
I want to see more people from Guam, from Israel, from, you know, from, I don't know, maybe Japan, more people like that in the NFL.
00:12:49.780
And the people would get on my case, no, you want the best people.
00:12:53.960
I want the best movie voted on by people saying because it's the best movie.
00:12:59.540
If it happens to be, for whatever reasons, they're trying to change the Academy Awards for now, so be it.
00:13:05.060
But don't force this way for people to vote on this just because of that.
00:13:10.200
So, you know, they just keep, it's just insanity though right now.
00:13:15.560
I don't know if Climate Hustle 2 will be able to meet all the diversity criteria to get nominated for best picture,
00:13:20.560
but certainly deserving of it because it's speaking truth on an issue that it is so difficult to find anyone willing to do it.
00:13:27.340
So thanks very much for your bravery in taking part in this and also for coming on today.
00:13:35.040
These guys do very funny little satire bits on the news.
00:13:38.360
And it's fake news, but they make fun of the real news.
00:13:41.220
And because of what they're doing in the Academy Awards, they put one out on me because I do so many faith-based movies like God's Not Dead and What If and Life There'll Be Like.
00:13:48.480
So I said every faith-based movie now must be up for Academy Awards and it has to star Kevin Sorbo in it.
00:13:53.940
So I thought it was pretty funny that they did that.
00:14:05.240
Thanks for listening to The Andrew Lawton Show.
