Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:00:07.880
America's so back, if you haven't realized it now,
00:00:10.180
in these last few days with President Trump taking back the Oval Office
00:00:14.080
back in his rightful home on Pennsylvania Avenue.
00:00:17.580
America is out of the WHO, the World Health Organization,
00:00:20.700
those deceptive folks who let us down path of deception during the COVID-19,
00:00:27.940
You know, the whole flatten the curve, stay at home, mask mandates,
00:00:37.300
He's also withdrawn us from the scam of the Paris Climate Accord.
00:00:40.240
That's, you know, that program that we pay hundreds of millions of dollars into
00:00:44.200
for absolutely nothing while China continues to pollute as much as they want.
00:00:48.360
But America has to stifle their pollution, quote, pollution,
00:00:56.160
And the southern border, for the first time in four years,
00:01:01.460
President Trump sending an additional 1,500 National Guard,
00:01:04.800
deploying them down to the southern border to get the ball rolling.
00:01:08.100
Governor Greg Abbott, the governor of the great state of Texas,
00:01:11.000
putting out those floatable barriers over in the Rio Grande
00:01:14.400
to try to stifle some of the migrant flow over there.
00:01:27.660
Today's episode is going to be dedicated to climate change
00:01:33.460
and what he's going to do to put an end to this woke green new deal,
00:01:39.680
green energy scam that we've all been living under for the last four years.
00:01:44.060
Mark, I want to begin with first, I'm sitting here in sunny Las Vegas,
00:01:49.420
Second to Disney World, of course, the grooming facilities of Disney World.
00:01:55.520
And I've been here only in the summers and it's like 110.
00:01:58.640
You tell me global warming is real and it's changing.
00:02:01.920
Going skiing next week, it's negative 10 there in Colorado.
00:02:21.660
Our winters are getting so mild they can't even support snow.
00:02:25.820
First of all, you know, then when we had record snow 2010,
00:02:29.720
then suddenly Al Gore and all these, oh, well, didn't we tell you?
00:02:33.440
Record snow is a consequence of climate change.
00:02:36.800
We warned you that there would be more extreme weather.
00:02:42.460
So we have now historic storm blasting the south, New Orleans.
00:02:46.580
And I don't I want to say it's like 1905, over 100 years since they last saw snowfall rates
00:02:54.100
Washington, D.C., where I live, it was 10 degrees, 8 degrees last night.
00:02:59.560
I still question by the time noon rolled around, it's probably 22 degrees.
00:03:05.440
I still said they could have had some kind of modified outdoor thing.
00:03:12.360
This is and this has been the coldest January in the D.C. area.
00:03:17.360
I live in Virginia that I can remember in decades.
00:03:20.680
I mean, we have had ponds frozen over snow cover on the ground now for weeks on end,
00:03:27.640
We had about a nine, 10 inch snowstorm and then it turned radically cold for weeks.
00:03:33.060
And it's still and then we had a couple more snowstorms.
00:03:35.520
And it's still the ground covered white out here.
00:03:41.440
But remember, these kind of winters were common in the 70s when there were fears of the man-made
00:03:47.720
global cooling scare before fossil fuels caused global warming, fossil fuels caused global
00:03:53.240
And then, of course, we've warmed up since the 70s.
00:03:56.180
Now, we're still not at the level we were in the 1930s.
00:03:59.100
Seventy five, seventy five percent of all state high temperature records were set before
00:04:02.640
1955 and the 1930s reigned supreme as the hottest heat wave, according to Joe Biden's
00:04:14.480
Well, I was just going to ask you that because that was something I was curious about.
00:04:19.160
You know, back in the day, it's funny, as I departed out of New York, it snowed the day
00:04:24.980
I just called a buddy of mine who's coming out to Vegas to meet me out here, and I said
00:04:29.100
I called him on FaceTime, and he's like got snow in the background.
00:04:35.340
I go, I didn't know you were going to New York.
00:04:39.540
He's sitting out there on the tarmac, and there's snow here.
00:04:44.400
He goes, you can't imagine there's snow everywhere.
00:04:54.020
But the question I have for you is maybe 10 years ago, 12 years ago in that time frame
00:04:59.960
area, I remember very well in New York, we were getting these massive snowstorms.
00:05:12.240
And what prevents that from happening where you're getting now only in the last maybe two
00:05:16.380
years, I can only remember five years or so, maybe a foot of snow in New York?
00:05:21.220
Yeah, it's just, it's weather cycles, everything from the polar vortex, the way the jet stream
00:05:28.460
works, the way the tropics work and weather storms.
00:05:31.240
Here in Washington, D.C., our big snowstorms, where we get one to two feet, usually come
00:05:36.280
from the south and from the ocean, and they come off the coast.
00:05:39.160
We'll get other storms that come, you know, typically from west to east.
00:05:44.220
In places like New York, that's going to be affected, you know, it depends on where in
00:05:49.580
New York, obviously Buffalo and anything near Great Lakes is going to be lake effect, which
00:05:58.880
When I was a kid, I could, off the top of my head, we had a blizzard of 79 in Washington
00:06:06.560
We had an 87, like a foot and a half snowstorm.
00:06:10.560
And then we had a 93, 15 inch snowstorm in March of 93.
00:06:15.820
And then we had the big blizzard of 96, which was massive, two and a half feet, plus another
00:06:30.060
I'm just giving you these dates to show you how, this is my own personal experience.
00:06:34.880
I had a little, you know, kept logs and measuring all the snow.
00:06:40.980
2009 and then 2015 was our last blizzard we had here.
00:06:48.600
And that was, so you see, now we're, that was 2015, I just said.
00:06:55.800
So although the one we just had was like 10 inches.
00:06:57.940
So it was close to a foot, but it wasn't a blizzard.
00:07:01.600
There's really no rhyme or reason looking at it long term.
00:07:09.020
And then you, in 2009, we had a December two foot snowstorm.
00:07:13.440
And then we had a February back to back to two separate two foot snowstorms.
00:07:18.340
So within like two and a half months, we had three major blizzards in the Washington,
00:07:25.400
You can always come up with an explanation short term.
00:07:27.380
Will this happen because the high pressure system and then the polar vortex?
00:07:29.980
But, you know, when you're looking at it, I just did it my lifetime rating.
00:07:40.020
But there were snowstorms Thomas Jefferson measured.
00:07:42.660
They said there were three feet of snow out in, you know, Virginia.
00:07:45.980
And the Virginia suburbs, I guess these wouldn't be suburbs, Monticello, hours away from D.C.
00:07:50.320
But still, so it's very – it's hard to explain that in terms of these snowstorms because they are a micro – when I say they're not a nationwide, like, oh, there's a snow – generally, it's not – oh, there's a snowstorm hitting.
00:08:05.740
But generally, these are – the big ones are areas that are focused in regions, in smaller regions, unlike, say, you know, a drought where you can have the entire southwest in a drought or where you can have – you know, but it's similar to the way a hurricane hits.
00:08:20.340
I mean, who knows what nature throws at you to make a hurricane hit Florida, make a landfall versus veer off the coast.
00:08:28.500
I mean, there's no – I mean, you can come up with a million.
00:08:32.420
But, you know, no one really knows why a hurricane hits and doesn't hit.
00:08:35.940
Now, other people believe the government's trying to manipulate them.
00:08:38.480
And there's probably ways that they could in the future, a lot of different ways to try to – the government openly talks about steering the track of hurricanes.
00:08:45.400
But having said that, the simplest explanation is weather happens.
00:08:53.340
You know, there's a signal in the sense that in the 70s, we had colder, snowy weather.
00:08:59.520
But in the 30s, we had, you know, much warmer weather.
00:09:04.740
And you can go back – and someone actually did analysis back to, like, 1850 with all of that global cooling, global warming.
00:09:10.460
So, at any rate, I don't know specifically the history of New York City, but, you know, you can look at Central Park records.
00:09:16.260
And it's – you know, again, it's just – things happen.
00:09:19.740
And, by the way, I'm very excited this NFL season.
00:09:22.400
And a lot of playoff games, most recently, was the Philadelphia.
00:09:34.160
I'll never forget watching back – the biggest – one of the biggest rivalries in football used to be the Packers and the Vikings.
00:09:40.120
And watching them get out there, Lambeau Field, the wind is blowing.
00:09:42.980
I'm a Giants fan, so I watched many of games of our kickers missing kicks in Lambeau Field with snow on the ground.
00:09:52.900
They stripped the soul of their franchises when they did that, when they put in domes.
00:10:02.300
You'd think they would do something like that to at least get the elements as much as possible and have the option.
00:10:10.000
It's still people like – teams like Chicago, Buffalo, New England.
00:10:13.520
It's a toughness of character that's true home field advantage and not playing in a 70-degree cushy dome stadium in the middle of the winter.
00:10:22.260
And as Marxist as New York is and Democrat it is, as it is, Buffalo Bills, who happen to be a good team as of late,
00:10:28.520
are getting a stadium with no retractable roof up in Buffalo and New York.
00:10:35.380
I think it was Governor Cuomo who originally signed the deal with them to build that stadium.
00:10:41.160
I want to turn to something you had mentioned, back to tracking weather into the 1800s because it's where I was going next.
00:10:48.880
And the weather and lack thereof weather, it happening in California right now and has been happening now for the last, you know,
00:10:56.680
a few hundred years at least, you know, on the record books.
00:11:00.320
California obviously going through a dry period right now.
00:11:03.940
Now, we can argue it's not really an argument because it's the truth of Gavin Newsom not being able to put water in his fire hydrants and forest fire management, all that good stuff.
00:11:14.260
But I want to look at it from the weather aspect of it, right?
00:11:17.280
If you go back and you look at some of the numbers from the early to late 1800s to the early 1990s,
00:11:23.640
they had periods that were drier than they are right now for longer periods of time.
00:11:28.140
So if global warming is such a thing and it's progressively getting worse and you can't undo global warming, it only gets worse, it doesn't get better.
00:11:36.340
Then why is it that we have periods that are in the 1920s to 1930s in California where it's longer droughts, worse droughts than we're in right now,
00:11:44.720
which is probably like a 10-year drought going on in California, which shouldn't be a drought, by the way,
00:11:50.740
based on them being the most accessible state to water, having the largest body of water sitting right off their coast.
00:11:58.680
Trump often says liquid gold is right under our feet.
00:12:01.340
They have liquid gold like sitting right in their backyards.
00:12:06.460
250 miles to the west of me right now is Malibu, California, where the California wildfires are still burning.
00:12:15.600
Why can't they ever get it together, these people?
00:12:18.600
Well, first of all, it was the San Jose Mercury News did a big report years ago.
00:12:23.160
The droughts in California centuries ago were much, much worse than anything they've experienced in recent decades.
00:12:29.960
I mean, I'm talking about California is historically a drought-prone state, regardless of anything.
00:12:38.600
And then if you look at the most recent data, they had record precipitation the last couple of years.
00:12:44.260
Now, there's two things regarding the wildfires.
00:12:46.360
A, it would theoretically lower the risk if everything's moist and there's less tinder.
00:12:50.700
But on the other hand, all of that rain probably helped stimulate the growth of the brush that they have there.
00:12:58.340
And in California, this is the simplest – in fact, there was an extreme weather expert, Dr. Roger Pilkey, Jr., University of Colorado.
00:13:10.840
The underlying problem here is policy, not climate.
00:13:15.200
We had the U.S. Geological Survey top scientists come out and say L.A. wildfires are not climate change, not by any stretch of the imagination, that this is absolutely no bearing on it.
00:13:27.240
If you look at charts of wildfires in the U.S. and globally, they are down like 80 percent in the last 100 years.
00:13:34.740
The one thing we've gotten good at is dealing with fire, putting out fires.
00:13:39.040
Not fire suppression necessarily because that's – suppression implies there's a preventative thing.
00:13:44.540
But in terms of responding – so if you look at wildfires, first of all, as a climate metric, it's one of the worst ones.
00:13:52.860
You have hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, wildfires, droughts.
00:13:55.140
First of all, the U.N. says on every single one of those 30, 50, 100 years, even the U.N. says there's no trend or declining trends.
00:14:05.100
They can say, well, in southwest California since 1998, the droughts have been record.
00:14:12.940
If this were to – they can cherry pick any region.
00:14:15.240
But if you look at it as a globe – remember, I just gave you the whole thing about snowstorms and how it affects – it's all different.
00:14:20.360
You have to look at – if you're going to look at it globally, you start realizing, hey, weather is just shifting around and there's really no trend – no extreme weather trends at all.
00:14:27.940
Anyway, having said that, wildfires are one of the worst climate metrics because, A, they deal with forestry, land use, property development, water diversion, land use, and fire response, politics, investment, rapid response, building codes.
00:14:48.200
There are so many layers of man-made political, governmental, organizational, strategic planning, emergency preparedness that to sit there and blame and fire on climate change.
00:15:00.240
Let me give you the number one reason – well, two reasons.
00:15:03.280
Homeless people starting fire, and that's what the U.S. Geological Survey said, and there was a study in 2021, almost 100% of all wildfires are caused by humans by lighting them.
00:15:13.400
It's not even like, oh, it's lightning that hit.
00:15:15.400
But it's either faulty power line or someone intentionally arsonist or accidentally starting it.
00:15:21.020
Having said other thing I just said, we now know that it took a minimum of 45 minutes for the L.A. firefighters to respond to the initial fire.
00:15:35.080
I don't know the exact standard, but if they had been there in 10 or 15, there would be probably no L.A. wildfires.
00:15:40.960
And, of course, then it gets into the politics of the whole DEI hires and the woke and the idea that they were almost a million-dollar-a-year job for people to be in charge of making sure diversity, and they weren't actually there doing rapid response.
00:15:59.920
They wouldn't allow – I love the meme that shows California runs out of water, and there's a picture of the Pacific Ocean next to L.A.
00:16:06.860
And if all of California could figure out a source for water, having said that, Israel, which is a desert, has now figured out desalination plants, and they can use that water.
00:16:16.280
Because apparently you don't want to spray seawater, Pacific Ocean water, on a property and houses and shrubs because it's very corrosive to the landscape and would cause sorts of problems.
00:16:30.900
Would those plants possibly affect some smelt or some other snail darter or something?
00:16:37.860
So you have Gavin Newsom bragging about the endangered species savings.
00:16:42.840
You have Gavin Newsom bragging about blowing up dams, which used to divert water and make water – retain water.
00:16:51.040
The largest dam removal projects in U.S. history they were just bragging about a couple years ago in California.
00:16:57.180
It's a complete Garden of Eden syndrome where they want to return California to prehistoric, pre-civilization state, this Garden of Eden idea in their heads.
00:17:08.120
And they're willing to cost humans whatever it takes.
00:17:12.740
So California, this is a truly man-made disaster from beginning to end, both at the state and local level.
00:17:27.620
For anyone to come by and say climate change, you know, global warming ate my homework or climate change does this.
00:17:36.040
And even many of the leftists aren't even – the people who would usually scream it aren't even buying it.
00:17:40.720
There's a lot of people just saying, you know, we've got to stop this nonsense.
00:17:48.300
One last point in – I mentioned Israel with the desalination.
00:17:52.700
In Japan, where they have wildfire-prone areas, they have little faucets.
00:18:07.820
And it goes off and it sprays all of the houses almost instantly at any sign of fire, smoke, or heat detection.
00:18:15.540
Gavin Newsom, remember, he's bragged that California has more billionaires than any other state in the union.
00:18:21.500
If this state, with all of its wealth, opulence, Hollywood, billionaires, political power, had invested in that and the fire-prone areas for each house, you could do it.
00:18:41.280
We're talking with Mark Morano of ClimateDepot.com.
00:18:44.160
When we come back, I want to continue this conversation about California and the mismanagement and the focus point, what it should be and what it's not and what it currently is.
00:18:53.340
I also want to take up the new Trump administration, the Paris Climate Accords, the WHO, the Davos elites are losing their damn minds.
00:19:02.400
We're coming right back with Mark Morano of ClimateDepot.com.
00:19:10.380
I had tried every pillow out there and nothing worked.
00:19:13.380
I'd flip-flop all night, use my arm for support, and fall asleep, or I'd wake up with a sore neck or maybe a headache.
00:19:19.880
Well, quality sleep comes from keeping your neck straight at night.
00:19:23.520
You have to fill in that space between your head and your bed.
00:19:29.440
MyPillow's patented fill adjusts to your exact individual needs, and it doesn't matter if you sleep on your back, stomach, side, or any combination of all three.
00:19:37.860
When I got MyPillow, I'm asleep almost immediately.
00:19:42.760
I stay asleep at night, and I wake up more well-rested in the morning.
00:19:46.760
So go to MyPillow.com or call the number on your screen.
00:19:50.300
Use your promo code to get Classic King MyPillows for only $19.98.
00:20:15.940
Oh, man, that's the fellow that you're watching us on the video right now.
00:20:25.420
So as I said, Mark Morano, our climate czar, our climate guru.
00:20:30.200
We don't turn to Bill Nye, the not-so-science guy.
00:20:34.120
He's a Medal of Freedom winner from the Biden administration.
00:20:40.420
And I interviewed exclusively in 2016 in Central Park.
00:20:44.740
He's open to the idea of jailing climate skeptics because they affected his way of life.
00:20:49.440
And they're fighting, you know, they're blocking climate action.
00:20:52.540
He wins the Congressional Medal of Freedom from Joe Biden.
00:20:56.840
We're going to – it's a new administration, though, Mark.
00:21:00.520
We're going to have to introduce you to President Trump if you haven't met him yet.
00:21:03.340
Because I think you could provide some good insight.
00:21:13.000
But you'd mention something that's mind-blowing to me as I sit in the middle of a desert right now.
00:21:21.860
And you'd mention the California elites, you know, not wanting to put salt water on wildfires
00:21:28.520
because it could damage the homes and corrosion and this and that.
00:21:31.360
But, Mark, could it get any worse than it is right now with people's homes completely level to the floor?
00:21:36.620
I'm not saying have water pumps set up in the ocean to spray your plants and water your gardens.
00:21:42.400
But in a situation like this, I mean, literally urine would be better than what we have right now.
00:21:50.420
You know, letting your dog go urinate on these wildfires.
00:21:52.640
Because you turn the spigot on the fire hydrants, home set sewer,
00:22:00.140
So it's either we, like, put this salt water that may damage your grass and may kill your grass on it.
00:22:05.100
We spend billions of dollars to build desalinization plants,
00:22:08.240
which there'll probably be some sort of government corruption in it.
00:22:14.960
It's so mind-blowing to me, these people, how they haven't figured out a way to take water out of the ocean.
00:22:23.880
Well, I'm sure they would find some fish or some marine mammal, something that they would say,
00:22:32.560
We need 14 years of environmental study before we can improve it.
00:22:38.760
That's the kind of nonsense that would happen in California.
00:22:42.820
Now, even if they just got straight salt water, I don't think they have the infrastructure set up.
00:22:48.540
And you could theoretically, I guess, get a fire truck.
00:22:51.240
I'm not even sure a fire truck could take in Pacific seawater because it would probably destroy the truck.
00:22:56.160
It's just the corrosion of the salt water alone.
00:22:58.740
So I don't really know, even short term, I understand what you're saying.
00:23:02.140
I'm not sure how they would do it in any effective way that would be able to, you know, they couldn't build,
00:23:07.100
they would need some kind of, what's a pipeline almost.
00:23:10.900
And that would require more environmental permit study.
00:23:14.360
And, you know, who knows, by 2040, they might have the first blueprint for that available.
00:23:19.620
Well, the good news is, is President Trump on new, all new projects in America right now,
00:23:23.360
if you're spending X amount of money, especially if it regards the environment,
00:23:26.880
he's waiving the wait time on all, like you said, these work, these permits,
00:23:31.280
which take up, eat up so much time, apply for something.
00:23:34.020
You wait four years for a permit and boom, Trump's out of office.
00:23:36.160
Now you've got a Marxist dem back in office who's putting you right back to square one.
00:23:39.260
And then you go back and forth on the four years.
00:23:41.360
But you can't mean to tell me we put a man on the moon.
00:23:46.880
I'm going to listen to the government and say we put a man on the moon.
00:23:49.160
You can't tell me Elon Musk lands a rocket on its tail side and reuse these rockets.
00:23:56.100
You can go down a Harbor Freight, Mark, the cheapest hardware store around,
00:23:59.380
and put a pump in the water in your pool and drain your pool.
00:24:02.460
You can't tell me with the smartest people on this planet, Americans,
00:24:07.420
that we can't find a way to run a temporary pump.
00:24:11.720
We spend billions of dollars on the dumb stuff, on the dumbest studies, on DEI, on anything.
00:24:16.720
We go down the list of the dumb things we spend money on.
00:24:19.220
You can't mean to tell me that we can't put together a damn contraption, Mark.
00:24:23.080
Go get a homeless guy to take a guard nose, do the old siphon roll,
00:24:33.080
Why is there so much red tape that just blocks us from doing the right thing?
00:24:38.180
Well, we literally have that kind of paralysis in America now.
00:24:41.560
It's at the federal level, state level, the local level.
00:24:46.960
The answer to your question on that, it goes back to George H.W. Bush, 1992.
00:24:54.880
He signs the Earth Summit Sustainable Development Treaty.
00:25:00.860
The United States Senate approved the Rio Earth Summit Treaty,
00:25:05.480
which then brought sustainable development into America, encoded.
00:25:11.080
Nancy Pelosi took a big speech on the House floor praising it.
00:25:14.760
And it does it in a way that goes to all the local state and local levels.
00:25:18.520
You get like these templates that are derivative of the United Nations.
00:25:22.220
And everything comes down to the lens in which you view all economic development,
00:25:28.840
all growth, all projects, has to be a sustainable environmental way.
00:25:36.860
Obviously, California, Oregon, Washington state would be examples of that.
00:25:42.020
And so anything you do has to be those environmental impact studies, has to look at it.
00:25:46.460
There's also, as a conjunction of that in recent years, and this is big in California,
00:25:50.640
the natural rights movement of where personhood status, they're trying to get personhood status
00:25:57.660
to a lake, to a tree, to natural objects in nature where you just can't go.
00:26:05.940
And that forest service or logging company can't go cut trees and use it for wood.
00:26:10.000
You can't go build a dam because these are now, they can, environmentalists are going to sue
00:26:15.500
on behalf of the natural body of water or tree or whatever it is.
00:26:21.080
And this is where people are making a lot of money.
00:26:23.680
And this is where you also have natural asset companies where Wall Street is trading on these
00:26:32.740
And the last thing they're going to worry about is, oh, we need to get something done
00:26:43.140
This is a, perhaps Garden of Eden syndrome isn't good because it makes it sound like they're
00:26:47.660
biblically based and they want to return to this, you know, biblical nirvana.
00:26:52.640
It's an ideology where they just think man should be separated from nature and man's needs are
00:26:57.900
way down the list and we need to just have a pristine environment.
00:27:01.360
And by the way, have you been to California lately?
00:27:05.480
You think they have a good environment as human defecation and neurination in the street
00:27:17.640
You know, you think of like some of the things the government's done and it's not just the
00:27:20.660
government's private sector selling it to the government because everyone makes a dollar
00:27:24.920
But something as I'm sitting here drinking an iced coffee, looking at a straw that's
00:27:34.160
That's one of those things like the EV mandate.
00:27:36.020
They were just thrown at us by the by the unelected bureaucratic state.
00:27:40.620
No, but you I mean, you look at certain things.
00:27:42.800
I mean, Mark, why are why are boats not made of cardboard?
00:27:48.260
And, you know, after about five minutes, it's the same reason straw should not be made of
00:27:54.000
There was probably a government study done that cost billions of dollars.
00:27:56.700
And somebody made out like a bandit, as usually happens in things like this.
00:28:03.280
Do you have any amount of any idea on the amount of money that is spent?
00:28:06.460
We'll say yearly over the last decade on just stupid environmental studies that like
00:28:12.640
have gone nowhere, have just been a waste of our time.
00:28:15.060
I mean, it's got to be in the trillions of dollars.
00:28:18.620
Well, it depends on how you there's also there's direct budget items like that.
00:28:22.180
But there's also just the economic cost of delaying all of these things.
00:28:25.920
I mean, that's what's I mean, if you just look at what's weird about this is the flip
00:28:31.820
side is true, because if you look at offshore wind, what is the Biden administration doing
00:28:37.380
They're pumping in money to offshore wind, despite the fact that we have unprecedented whale
00:28:42.000
mortality deaths, where federal scientists are now admitting that this is the only variable
00:28:55.580
I think at one point, I think they had 13 dead whales in less than 30 days off the New
00:29:00.580
Jersey, New York, Long Island, Rhode Island, all those coastlines.
00:29:08.100
You want to talk about how they can expedite the process of all the bureaucracy?
00:29:12.060
They get immediate waiving of all the endangered species regulations or leniency for these offshore
00:29:19.720
No fossil fuel project would ever get these waivers.
00:29:23.280
They actually have more legal takings of endangered whale species than there are known to exist
00:29:31.560
So they're allowed to wipe out what's left of endangered whale species in the Atlantic coast
00:29:35.720
because they need to get this offshore wind, which, by the way, solar and wind combined are
00:29:40.920
producing, what, less than 5% of our energy, less than 15% of our electricity combined.
00:29:49.080
It's a giant wind, just so people understand, it's the height of the Eiffel Tower, the average
00:29:57.160
offshore wind turbine, and the blades are the length of a football field, 100 yards plus.
00:30:02.180
That's the monstrosity you're putting out there.
00:30:04.320
It takes concrete, tons of concrete, steel, non-recyclable plastic.
00:30:11.000
I mean, there is nothing green or sustainable about offshore wind.
00:30:14.920
And the fact that they don't produce energy worth shit is just icing on the cake.
00:30:19.700
You know, I'm all for if you could make something more sustainable.
00:30:24.880
I'm all for if you can eliminate ozone pollution.
00:30:29.400
But the hypocrisy of it all, they're not using electric trucks, Mark, to go ahead and deliver
00:30:36.640
They're not using electric drills to go ahead and break down to the bedrock to pour a cement
00:30:41.500
The cement mixer they're using, it's not running on AA batteries, Mark.
00:30:46.200
And even if it were, those AA batteries are made in a facility that's run on fossil fuels,
00:30:51.620
And when you dispose of those batteries, they are supposed to be disposed of the right
00:30:55.420
And when they're disposed of, they're not being disposed of with reusable electricity.
00:31:01.620
So I'm all for if you can make the world a more sustainable place.
00:31:11.000
If someone wants to go out in the private sector and put together a study and bring it
00:31:14.180
to the government and say, this is what we can do, maybe the government should pay them
00:31:17.800
But to be spending trillions of dollars a year to do these stupid studies that are so unnecessary,
00:31:22.440
we, you and I often talk about the whole notion of net zero for airlines.
00:31:29.560
Why are you wasting our time with this absolute stupidity?
00:31:33.500
There's not enough trees you can plant in a day that would offset the carbon.
00:31:37.820
That one airplane that is flown across the earth for one day would offset.
00:31:42.480
It's just common sense, yet they try to force it down our throat.
00:31:45.840
So like I said, I'm all for more sustainability.
00:31:50.520
Now they've even figured out these straws, Mark.
00:31:56.120
But give me the option if I want to go to the store and buy plastic, give me the option
00:31:59.180
if I want to go to the store and buy avocado skins.
00:32:02.420
I mean, the absurdity is you go in a grocery store, your meat's wrapped in plastic, your
00:32:10.620
But then you go in a plastic bag, so you have to use a paper bag that rips on your way
00:32:30.740
In New York now, the way around that is you have to pay for a bag now.
00:32:34.720
If you want a bag, you have to go to the store and pay 25 cents.
00:32:38.560
I mean, do they really think they're saving the world one plastic bag at a time?
00:32:43.160
The stupidity, Mark, has come to a new high that it's like it seems like we're almost
00:32:47.900
watching Donald Trump on the stage the other day with the village people dancing.
00:32:51.320
I thought it was a new, it was like this new time, new millennium.
00:32:57.220
Yet, time and time again, these leftists, these Marxists find a way to do something that
00:33:07.960
It's important to point this out, like the shift that's happening here.
00:33:11.760
You have NFL players doing the Trump dance at End Zone Celebration.
00:33:18.280
You have a transformed Donald Trump who, you know, maybe a couple assassination attempts,
00:33:24.140
getting shot, maybe getting threatened with jail.
00:33:28.920
But I feel like he's grown up the worst parts of his personality.
00:33:33.040
You know, I say this as a Trump fan, but he had, you know, I could understand, I always
00:33:35.840
said I could understand why people couldn't stand him in the sense that he, you know, if
00:33:40.460
you, if you, he could rub people the wrong way.
00:33:47.040
If you're a beta male, you know, looking at the outside in, I can understand you got this
00:33:51.340
alpha male running around doing whatever he wants to do.
00:33:56.820
So you had this whole never Trump class of people grow up.
00:33:59.820
Well, what's fascinating now is he is just laser focused.
00:34:06.300
He doesn't have, like, if you think of Trump 1.0, what happened inauguration day in 2017?
00:34:16.100
Like, he just got, he got himself too many distractions.
00:34:18.220
And because of that, he, I think he was less effective.
00:34:26.880
Now when I, like his inaugural speech that he gave after the swearing in, I was, it was
00:34:32.740
I mean, when you consider how far and close we were to going the world economic form,
00:34:38.160
great reset way, where free speech was going to be crushed.
00:34:41.620
And the idea that, you know, you know, critical race and transgenderism was just taking over
00:34:49.220
America and being imposed upon us, I should say.
00:34:53.400
And of course, the gas powered cars and they're going after meat.
00:34:56.560
The intentional collapse of energy, rationing, food collapse and rationing, going after meat
00:35:04.620
And then of course the EV and limits restrictions on our movement.
00:35:07.860
I mean, it was just not the America anyone recognized.
00:35:10.260
He comes in, you have every major bank, Bank of America, JP Morgan, now the Federal Reserve.
00:35:16.600
You even have BlackRock pull out of the UN banking alliance on climate.
00:35:29.180
The 1980s were considered iconic vis-a-vis almost the 1950s.
00:35:36.820
Now you can't say Reagan did it, but Reagan also benefited.
00:35:39.500
You know, it's kind of like that culture pushed him.
00:35:42.000
America changed significantly from the gas lines and the austerity and Jimmy Carter and
00:35:47.560
the weakness to an America of just reigning supreme.
00:35:51.140
You could argue it was great again in the 1980s.
00:35:54.760
And this time, I feel like we're about to go through the same thing.
00:35:59.860
Mark Zuckerberg, if you listen to his speech about his free speech commitment, my God,
00:36:06.940
If you just listen to the words, I was in awe of Mark Zuckerberg.
00:36:12.420
I don't know how sincere he was or whether he's just, you know, but the point is, you
00:36:22.480
I mean, he just was going through about the criticism, the fact check, and people have
00:36:26.400
And this information, this information, you can't have the government censor.
00:36:30.620
We are now in a sea change where I think our culture is going to change.
00:36:40.460
Someone needs to come up with stickers for everyone who has globes and maps.
00:36:43.580
They can get instead of the tape over Gulf of Mexico, you put in Gulf of America.
00:36:47.560
You can make money selling these stickers for every household that has a globe with kids
00:36:53.020
But anyway, it's just that Mount McKinley as well.
00:36:55.920
Let's take a Washington Redskins name back at this point in the Indian logo, which was
00:37:05.360
But anyway, having said all that, it's truly, in my lifetime, I believe, and this exceeds,
00:37:12.880
and I'm very clear about this, exceeds the impact of Ronald Reagan.
00:37:17.320
This is Donald Trump's presidency, maybe the most consequential presidency of our lifetime,
00:37:26.660
And I mean that on cultural, economic, government size and scope, and foreign policy.
00:37:34.180
And it's that impressive of what he represents.
00:37:38.040
And I think he needed to go through everything he needed.
00:37:40.980
He needed to have happen what happened, the assassination attempts and the jailing threats
00:37:45.260
and the persecution of everyone around him and coming after him and the FBI raids and
00:37:50.860
This has been just, this is one of the greatest potential moments in American history right
00:37:59.860
I mean, the guy, you know, almost lost his life and all that.
00:38:11.140
And if there's, Donald Trump doesn't look up to anybody and he doesn't look down on
00:38:15.480
But if I think if there's one person who he's looked up to in his life most recently and
00:38:20.180
probably over the course of his political career, whether you want to span it back to
00:38:25.860
And Ronald Reagan, for some people, was the greatest president of all time.
00:38:30.820
Donald Trump is certainly the greatest president of my lifetime and will probably be the greatest
00:38:34.460
president in the history of this country when he's done with this four-year term.
00:38:37.720
And just based on some of the things he's done this first week in office, I want to take
00:38:43.440
And when we return, I want to talk about some of those things he's done.
00:38:49.900
You're going to be over there next year seeing maybe for climate summits.
00:38:54.780
So I want to take all that up on the other side of this quick break and all the great work
00:39:07.720
This past year has been one of the hardest in MyPillows history.
00:39:13.140
It's because of you that we're making it through.
00:39:16.000

00:40:08.380
Folks, we're back with Mark Marano, ClimateDepot.com, the climate guru.
00:40:17.160
We like to come here as often as we can on this show to give us all the truth and the
00:40:21.960
hard facts, the facts that the Democrats and the Marxist-leftists can't seem to swallow.
00:40:28.180
Mark, there's some other things they're not going to be able to swallow over the next four
00:40:31.380
years, and particularly this first week of President Trump in office.
00:40:34.420
Let's start with the World Economic Forum going into a total meltdown, basically admitting
00:40:46.520
The latest reports, which I'm just getting this morning from the World Economic Forum meeting,
00:40:51.620
it's called the WEF 25th, I guess it's 25 consecutive years, in Davos.
00:40:59.460
Reports are showing half-empty hallways, German Chancellor addressing a sparse audience, and
00:41:07.660
this is the key, this is the most fun, luxury call-girl business down 60% compared to last
00:41:15.920
That means not only is the crowd size down, but their libido is down, which is great because
00:41:29.460
And there's video, there's all these video reports coming out.
00:41:34.300
And what's also amazing is they've had one panel, at least this morning, where they're
00:41:39.460
talking about how Trump has basically been resurrected and done something, no other politician.
00:41:46.720
I think their greatest regret is not winning him over to the dark side.
00:41:52.880
But Trump's election was the greatest rejection of this whole World Economic Forum Great Reset
00:42:02.220
In other words, the WEF will have no one there and will be happy, or it's not the Great Reset,
00:42:12.000
And we are seeing the global, I guess, what's the word I'm looking at, tailcoats, what's
00:42:17.820
the, coattails, tailcoats, coattails of this rejection.
00:42:22.200
We're seeing the German government collapse due to economic problems.
00:42:30.180
We're seeing England have all sorts of problems.
00:42:32.880
They're saying if they go through with this, they're expecting absolute riots in the street
00:42:39.320
We have the halt of the Green New Deal in Europe and their elections last summer, which
00:42:45.000
were a harbinger of things to come in the U.S., rejecting their green mandates.
00:42:49.420
You have the U.N. Climate Summit, which I went to in Baku, Azerbaijan, 23 hours of flying
00:42:55.020
next to Russia and bordering Iran and Russia and Azerbaijan.
00:42:59.920
They were similar to what we're finding at this World Economic Forum.
00:43:03.880
Low attendance, no major world leaders spoke, no energy.
00:43:10.840
And the Argentinian delegation, led by Malou, pulled out their entire delegation.
00:43:15.620
We are looking at the potential of a CLEGZIT, climate exit from the U.N.
00:43:19.280
Climate Treaty, similar to Brexit, of Argentina, of Poland, of Hungary, of Czech Republic,
00:43:27.940
And this, and if Bolsonaro gets back in Brazil, he would join it.
00:43:31.840
Trump, by pulling out of the Paris Agreement again, is we are back on track.
00:43:36.580
This is so different from where it was eight years ago in 2017, because then it was just
00:43:45.220
And a large thing they were able to because then Biden came in.
00:43:48.000
But the difference now is the entire net zero climate agenda has been exposed raw.
00:43:54.380
And a lot of that is because of the Ukraine war and the Nord Stream pipeline blowing up
00:43:59.980
and Europe realizing firsthand, maybe we shouldn't have been talking about blowing up our fracking
00:44:05.180
Maybe we shouldn't have got all the fossil fuels because now they're relying on Russian
00:44:19.140
Everyone knows it's a fraud and a scam, offshore wind, all of these things that need subsidies,
00:44:24.720
If solar and wind are so great, why do you have to ban the competition?
00:44:30.200
If gas powered cars are so, if EVs are so great, why do you have to ban their competition?
00:44:35.220
It's like Muhammad Ali showing up in the ring in the 1970s.
00:44:38.680
I'm here to fight Joe Frazier, but I'm the greatest of all time.
00:44:41.420
I'm banning Joe Frazier from the ring because I don't need to fight him.
00:44:46.660
That's what they do with all this green energy and EVs.
00:44:49.480
They claim that they're superior, but yet they know they're not because they ban the competition.
00:44:56.500
And that's why I said most consequential presidency of our lifetimes.
00:45:00.480
Before we turn to the Paris Climate Accord, we spoke before the show, you had mentioned
00:45:03.580
President Trump has to do one more thing with that.
00:45:05.940
Before we turn to that, I want to get to something else because you had mentioned electric vehicles.
00:45:09.660
And obviously, it's no secret, Elon Musk and Elon Musk and Donald Trump are like this.
00:45:18.260
I think within six months, though, it's hard for Elon Musk.
00:45:22.220
It's probably very hard for him to treat someone like an equal, number one.
00:45:26.060
You saw the arrogance come out on the visa program where he's like, if you effing cross
00:45:37.600
But, you know, the thing that I thought was so interesting was going to see how President
00:45:41.540
Trump reacted being their friends with the electric vehicle mandates now and gravy train.
00:45:47.700
Now, Elon Musk said he doesn't care if President Trump gets rid of them because he doesn't
00:45:52.140
They give him the Chevy and they give him all these other people in California.
00:45:55.740
He's the benefits from the whole government push of EVs and progression of gas power.
00:46:00.180
But one of President Trump's executive orders on his first day in office was, quote, all
00:46:05.380
agencies shall immediately pause the disbursement of funds from programs created by the Inflation
00:46:10.380
Reduction Act and the bipartisan infrastructure law.
00:46:13.880
The order specifically calls for the halt of funding for EV charging stations made available
00:46:18.020
to the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, NEVI Formula Program, and the Charging and Fueling
00:46:25.740
So it's sort of interesting to see the pushback on Elon Musk, you know, that he's given him
00:46:33.360
I know we're tight on time here, so I want to turn to the Paris Climate Accords.
00:46:37.380
You had mentioned before the show, it's nice that he withdrew.
00:46:40.160
But now, what does President Trump now have to do?
00:46:43.060
Where does he need to take the Paris Climate Accords?
00:46:45.420
The problem is, he's basically done what he did eight years ago, pulled us out, put a signal of the intent.
00:46:51.540
But he also did one step further this time, and then I'll get to what he needs to do.
00:46:54.820
He did pull us out of the economic and the funding frameworks for all this, you know,
00:47:01.200
climate slush funds and the economic and paying and distributing all this money, which is a great
00:47:09.980
The next president, if it's President Gavin Newsom, and who knows, if we have another pandemic
00:47:14.360
and Trump falls for it like he did last time, and he was clearly duped.
00:47:18.000
We know this because Deborah Birx, the COVID coordinator and Anthony Fauci, she wrote a
00:47:21.520
book bragging about how they duped Donald Trump into 10 days to flatten the curve, which halted
00:47:26.960
his entire presidency and killed his re-election, basically, because it created the whole COVID
00:47:34.840
If he, what he needs to do this time around with the Paris Agreement, he needs to submit
00:47:40.220
the Paris Agreement to the United States Senate as a treaty.
00:47:47.920
The Kyoto Protocol, similar, was just a sense of the Senate, and it was lost like 95 to
00:47:57.220
The same way Obama's cap and trade, even senators like Al Franken of Minnesota wouldn't
00:48:04.280
They won't vote for stuff that means that they're doomed in their home district.
00:48:08.340
So if Donald Trump submits the UN Paris Agreement for a treaty, it gets rejected by the Senate,
00:48:13.740
that would then, depending on which lawyer you're talking to, but most likely make it
00:48:17.640
very difficult, would kick us out of this UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which
00:48:22.460
again began in 1992 at the Rio Earth Summit under George H.W. Bush.
00:48:27.900
Republicans love the environment too, so we'll go sign on to the UN Treaty.
00:48:36.020
I urged everyone I knew in 1992 to vote for Ross Perot.
00:48:43.060
I actually voted for Andre Maru, a used car salesman, the Libertarian candidate.
00:48:49.420
In 96, I voted for Howard Phillips for president, U.S. taxpayer.
00:48:56.980
In 2004, I didn't vote for George W. Bush only because I couldn't stand John Kerry.
00:49:01.300
And I, that was the only, I couldn't still, I regret that vote.
00:49:13.320
So anyway, to make a long story short, if Trump can get this rejected and go after the actual
00:49:17.340
legal basis, remember the Republican Senate in 1992 did a voice vote ratify, not Republican
00:49:24.560
Senate, but the Senate, U.S. Senate, 1992 did a voice vote ratifying the Earth Summit
00:49:30.340
So because of that, it became, and so Obama administration, when they signed the U.N.
00:49:35.140
Paris said, oh, well, this is just an extension of that already existing thing.
00:49:39.040
And that could argue that was in New York Times and they were trying to argue that and no one
00:49:43.560
But if he submits this to the Senate and it's rejected, theoretically, and of course, some
00:49:49.040
of the legal experts I've talked to, and many people agree with this, of course, it all
00:49:52.540
depends on how it'd be interpreted by courts in the end.
00:49:55.420
But basically, the next president, if it's a Gavin Newsom or et cetera, can't just put
00:50:01.540
They're going to have to have some kind of a treaty, treat these summits, these U.N.
00:50:05.780
PACs as a treaty, which is what they should be, because they affect every aspect of our
00:50:09.400
life, from our energy to our food, to our freedom of movement, to even our freedom of
00:50:14.960
collaborating with Google to suppress searches so that nothing counters what the U.N.
00:50:23.380
As I said, Mark, I know we're short on time here.
00:50:26.800
But as we're on here, a newswire just came through.
00:50:29.680
Indian officials are preparing to repatriate roughly 18,000 Indian migrants who may have
00:50:34.880
overstayed their visa or living illegally in America.
00:50:38.460
The Trump administration, hard at work, hasn't even been a week.
00:50:50.940
We're going to be having some fun over the next four years, Mark.
