00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.580 Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.260 Welcome, it is Verdict with Ted Cruz.
00:00:06.360 Weekend Review, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:08.360 And here are some big stories that you may have missed
00:00:10.440 that we talked about this week.
00:00:11.960 First off, Mondani and Gavin Newsom.
00:00:15.140 They're marketing Marxism and socialism
00:00:17.220 to the American voter like never before.
00:00:20.180 Will there be backlash?
00:00:21.760 We're gonna break that down for you.
00:00:23.840 Also, Senator Cruz and I sat down with an incredible leader
00:00:27.440 to talk about Christian abuse in Nigeria
00:00:30.560 and why the media isn't covering this story.
00:00:34.120 But we are here and it's important.
00:00:36.520 And finally, Bill Gates, reversing course on global warming.
00:00:41.220 So how much money was made off of selling you on the big scam?
00:00:45.900 It's the Weekend Review and it starts right now.
00:00:49.300 Did you hear Gavin Newsom on the podcast
00:00:51.360 discussing his rough, hardscrabble life,
00:00:54.960 eating Wonder Bread, growing up in the hood?
00:00:57.260 Because, you know, Gavin was an oppressed youth.
00:01:03.060 Did you see that?
00:01:04.280 It was almost as oppressed as he was during the COVID lockdowns
00:01:06.860 when he was the only one allowed to have dinner
00:01:08.100 with his friends without masks on, you know?
00:01:10.240 Look, to be clear, Gavin Newsom is California royalties,
00:01:14.180 fourth or fifth generation California old money.
00:01:17.300 His daddy was one of the lead lawyers
00:01:22.220 for the Getty billionaire fortune.
00:01:24.960 He grew up, he was featured in the San Francisco paper
00:01:30.860 in an article entitled, Growing Up Rich.
00:01:34.260 And to be clear, he started a winery with the Getty millions,
00:01:38.600 billions actually, but millions from them.
00:01:40.800 Started a winery at age 25.
00:01:43.020 Now, Benjamin, let me ask you,
00:01:44.220 did you start a winery at age 25?
00:01:46.880 No.
00:01:47.900 I feel like I worked really hard,
00:01:49.520 but I promise you it was not a winery at 25.
00:01:52.840 And look, it's okay.
00:01:54.640 I don't fault Gavin for the success of his parents
00:01:58.720 or his grandparents or his great-great-grandparents,
00:02:01.220 and it's amazing how many leftists
00:02:02.880 were raised with silver spoons
00:02:05.940 and inserted just about any place you could insert a spoon.
00:02:08.980 But when he pretends, like he's on this NBA podcast
00:02:13.820 and he's talking about,
00:02:15.040 oh, I just had to support myself.
00:02:17.520 I had to support myself playing ball.
00:02:20.500 Like, what a load.
00:02:23.000 What a crock.
00:02:25.560 And it's...
00:02:26.980 Pathological.
00:02:28.440 Newsom is running a different scam
00:02:30.500 than Mondani is,
00:02:33.200 but it's the same scam.
00:02:35.340 It is marketing,
00:02:38.440 Marxism,
00:02:39.460 socialism,
00:02:40.380 confiscatory government power,
00:02:42.220 and trying to make it...
00:02:43.220 I will say this.
00:02:44.060 I'm going to compliment right now
00:02:45.380 both Comrade Mondani
00:02:46.920 and Gavin Newsom.
00:02:49.280 They got great smiles.
00:02:51.020 I mean, to be honest,
00:02:52.000 every dentist in America must be like,
00:02:54.120 look at those pearly whites.
00:02:55.380 They can smile.
00:02:57.340 Like it...
00:02:58.460 And, you know,
00:02:59.180 I got to say,
00:03:00.620 and I'll say this as a Cuban-American
00:03:03.340 whose family, you know,
00:03:04.700 fled Cuba,
00:03:05.700 it really feels better
00:03:08.200 if you're a dissident
00:03:09.080 being lined up from the firing squad
00:03:10.780 if you know that the communists
00:03:12.140 ordering your death are smiling.
00:03:13.640 Like it really makes it less painful
00:03:15.700 as you're sent to the gulag
00:03:18.980 to know...
00:03:20.440 It's a good-looking tyrant
00:03:22.600 who is sending me to the gulag.
00:03:25.440 But sadly,
00:03:26.580 that's where we are.
00:03:29.600 And can I ask you
00:03:31.100 one more question on this topic?
00:03:33.000 Sure.
00:03:33.440 Is there a single,
00:03:35.780 sane Democrat
00:03:37.080 who is calling out
00:03:39.780 Comrade Mondani
00:03:41.180 or Gavin Newsom
00:03:43.020 on these issues?
00:03:44.500 No.
00:03:45.140 Because they created these crazies
00:03:46.660 and they allowed them
00:03:47.480 to fester in their party
00:03:48.400 and they literally
00:03:49.780 didn't police their party.
00:03:51.220 So this is the Democratic Party now
00:03:53.120 and their leaders
00:03:54.340 are not Democrats.
00:03:55.820 They are commies.
00:03:57.020 They are socialists.
00:03:58.080 They are Marxists.
00:03:58.880 Just look around the country.
00:04:00.160 This is who they are.
00:04:01.600 Yeah, look,
00:04:02.140 the elected members
00:04:03.620 of the Democrat Party,
00:04:04.640 particularly on the national scene,
00:04:06.520 they're scared.
00:04:07.680 They're scared
00:04:08.420 of the mob.
00:04:10.420 They're scared
00:04:11.520 of the angry
00:04:13.040 left-wing radicals
00:04:15.200 with torches
00:04:16.280 and pitchforks.
00:04:18.160 We saw this
00:04:18.900 at the No Kings rally
00:04:19.860 where they're terrified.
00:04:20.760 We're in the middle.
00:04:21.500 We're in day 27
00:04:22.600 of the Schumer shutdown
00:04:23.920 because they're terrified
00:04:24.900 of the mob.
00:04:26.180 And so elected Democrats
00:04:27.440 are terrified.
00:04:28.280 But again, listen,
00:04:30.260 we endeavor on this podcast
00:04:32.700 to try to be real,
00:04:33.920 to try to have facts,
00:04:34.860 to try not to engage
00:04:36.420 in just empty partisan rhetoric.
00:04:39.580 So maybe you might say,
00:04:41.160 all right,
00:04:41.820 Cruz, Ferguson,
00:04:43.780 they're not the most
00:04:44.880 impartial, unbiased observers.
00:04:47.860 If you're not inclined
00:04:49.120 to listen to us,
00:04:49.840 although I will say,
00:04:50.660 if you've made it 29 minutes
00:04:51.780 into this podcast
00:04:52.540 and you're not inclined
00:04:53.260 to listen to us,
00:04:54.040 wow, you've got some endurance.
00:04:55.540 Bravo to you.
00:04:57.040 But indulge the setup nonetheless.
00:05:01.880 If you're not inclined
00:05:02.660 to listen to us,
00:05:03.540 perhaps you would be inclined
00:05:05.940 to listen to Bill Maher.
00:05:07.080 Bill Maher is a liberal.
00:05:08.780 He is a Democrat.
00:05:10.120 He's been a liberal
00:05:10.880 and a Democrat his whole life.
00:05:13.240 Listen to what Bill Maher
00:05:14.800 had to say,
00:05:15.560 the warning to Democrats
00:05:17.060 he had to say
00:05:17.760 about Comrade Mondani.
00:05:20.440 The Democrats,
00:05:21.480 let's face it,
00:05:22.040 they're kind of split now.
00:05:23.120 There's the far left version
00:05:25.060 that did not do too well
00:05:26.620 in recent elections
00:05:27.460 and then people
00:05:28.180 like the governor
00:05:28.860 who say,
00:05:29.380 we've got to come back
00:05:30.220 to the middle,
00:05:31.120 common sense,
00:05:32.140 and whenever this discussion
00:05:33.200 comes up,
00:05:33.780 this is what you hear a lot.
00:05:34.780 We need a sister soldier moment,
00:05:36.320 a time when the Democrats,
00:05:37.140 something,
00:05:37.780 some issue
00:05:38.200 where the Democrat says,
00:05:39.380 look,
00:05:39.680 I'm not with the far left
00:05:41.000 and this is how you know
00:05:41.880 you can trust me
00:05:42.660 that I'm not.
00:05:44.920 I think I have the issue.
00:05:46.500 Okay.
00:05:47.180 And it's the mayor's race
00:05:48.780 in New York.
00:05:50.140 I think,
00:05:51.280 he seems like a sweet guy,
00:05:53.320 Mom Dommy.
00:05:55.420 But I would just like to say,
00:05:57.040 because the election
00:05:57.620 is in a couple of weeks,
00:05:58.700 this is not just New York
00:06:01.600 that's on the ballot.
00:06:03.280 I think the whole Democratic Party
00:06:05.060 in the country
00:06:05.980 is on the ballot
00:06:06.980 and the whole country
00:06:07.960 will be looking at this race
00:06:09.400 to see which way
00:06:10.940 are the Democrats going to go.
00:06:12.720 No, Andrew Cuomo
00:06:13.600 may not be that exciting
00:06:14.840 and that inspirational,
00:06:16.460 but, you know,
00:06:17.080 for a party that said
00:06:17.960 we want to get back to normal,
00:06:20.300 he's kind of normal.
00:06:22.580 I mean.
00:06:23.700 What?
00:06:24.360 No?
00:06:24.560 Well,
00:06:25.060 he's got some things
00:06:26.500 in his history
00:06:26.980 that I would suggest
00:06:27.680 are not going to.
00:06:28.160 It's not the normal
00:06:29.240 I want to embrace.
00:06:30.420 Well, we did a deep dive on that
00:06:32.020 because we had him on the show.
00:06:33.340 Yeah.
00:06:33.720 A lot of it is kind of bullshit.
00:06:35.160 I mean,
00:06:35.640 maybe he was a little too handsy,
00:06:37.140 a little too Italian,
00:06:38.600 a little too touchy,
00:06:40.540 you know.
00:06:42.540 A little too Italian.
00:06:44.560 That's what he said.
00:06:45.480 You know.
00:06:46.220 Yes.
00:06:46.800 You know.
00:06:47.020 I did not get the memo.
00:06:49.740 I mean,
00:06:50.520 when you're having to defend Cuomo
00:06:52.180 to try to save your party,
00:06:53.580 you're not in a good place.
00:06:55.300 Well,
00:06:55.600 but Bill Maher,
00:06:56.460 and let's be clear,
00:06:57.320 Bill Maher
00:06:58.420 did not vote for Donald Trump.
00:07:01.240 Bill Maher would not vote for me.
00:07:03.480 He is a liberal.
00:07:04.600 He is a Democrat.
00:07:05.840 But Bill Maher every day
00:07:07.280 makes more and more sense
00:07:08.740 because his party
00:07:09.780 has gone so bat crap crazy
00:07:11.520 that he believes in things
00:07:12.880 like free speech.
00:07:15.140 He believes in things
00:07:16.700 like not supporting
00:07:17.780 a communist government
00:07:18.800 that seizes private property
00:07:20.600 and the means of production
00:07:25.160 in society.
00:07:26.680 He doesn't want to support
00:07:28.700 Hamas terrorists
00:07:29.620 and other jihadists.
00:07:32.320 That used to be mainstream.
00:07:34.720 That used to be,
00:07:35.440 all of those propositions
00:07:36.520 were things
00:07:37.120 that used to be the case
00:07:38.360 that Republicans
00:07:39.800 and Democrats
00:07:40.520 came together.
00:07:41.260 Look,
00:07:41.880 Bill Clinton,
00:07:42.460 when Bill Clinton
00:07:43.020 was president,
00:07:44.340 neither you nor I
00:07:45.320 supported Bill Clinton.
00:07:46.400 We did not vote
00:07:47.160 for Bill Clinton.
00:07:48.740 But you know what?
00:07:49.700 The Bill Clinton election,
00:07:51.140 when he was elected,
00:07:52.180 it was not
00:07:53.200 the fate
00:07:54.500 of Western civilization.
00:07:56.040 It was not
00:07:56.760 do we elect
00:07:57.560 a communist jihadist.
00:07:59.580 I would have rather
00:08:00.560 a Republican be elected,
00:08:01.840 but the world didn't end
00:08:03.180 when Bill Clinton
00:08:03.800 got elected.
00:08:05.060 Bill Clinton's views,
00:08:06.300 if you took a candidate
00:08:07.240 with the identical policy views
00:08:08.880 of Bill Clinton
00:08:09.500 and ran him today,
00:08:11.300 they would tar
00:08:12.180 and feather him
00:08:12.960 and drive him
00:08:13.580 out of the Democrat Party.
00:08:15.140 He would be completely
00:08:16.180 and entirely...
00:08:17.060 He would not get elected
00:08:17.580 today as president.
00:08:18.620 He would not get elected.
00:08:19.900 He probably wouldn't
00:08:20.660 get elected
00:08:21.180 as a Democrat dog catcher
00:08:23.060 because they have radicalized
00:08:25.580 and they instead
00:08:26.400 want someone
00:08:27.260 like Comrade Mondami
00:08:28.680 whose party says
00:08:29.780 release the terrorist
00:08:31.480 who murders Jews
00:08:32.500 because they're Jews.
00:08:34.260 That's where
00:08:35.220 their radical base is
00:08:36.920 and, you know,
00:08:39.240 some of y'all may not
00:08:40.140 may not know
00:08:41.180 what a sister soldier
00:08:42.500 moment is
00:08:43.240 and sister soldier
00:08:44.340 actually refers to Bill Clinton
00:08:45.480 when Bill Clinton
00:08:46.140 was running for president.
00:08:48.540 Sister soldier
00:08:49.240 was this rapper
00:08:50.680 and Bill Clinton
00:08:52.260 denounced her
00:08:54.020 in the middle of the primary
00:08:54.940 and it was viewed
00:08:55.800 as a brave moment
00:08:57.380 of sort of taking on
00:08:58.380 his base
00:08:59.140 but it demonstrated
00:09:00.920 to the voters
00:09:01.820 or it was perceived
00:09:02.560 to demonstrate
00:09:03.620 to the voters
00:09:04.380 that he was reasonable
00:09:05.600 and rational
00:09:06.360 and not a crazy nutcase
00:09:08.520 and it is
00:09:09.160 an interesting question.
00:09:10.200 Is there even
00:09:12.080 one
00:09:13.040 national Democrat?
00:09:15.060 By the way,
00:09:15.360 Gavin Newsom
00:09:15.840 wants to be elected
00:09:16.440 president.
00:09:17.200 Can he denounce
00:09:18.140 Mondami?
00:09:19.280 J.B. Pritzker
00:09:19.880 wants to be elected
00:09:20.560 president.
00:09:21.040 Can he do it?
00:09:22.080 Cory Booker wants to.
00:09:23.640 Chris Murphy wants to.
00:09:25.600 None of them
00:09:26.480 are going to
00:09:27.280 because
00:09:28.360 look,
00:09:29.960 John Fetterman
00:09:30.620 has been critical
00:09:31.420 but John Fetterman
00:09:32.360 I think the Democrat Party
00:09:33.620 is being quite explicit
00:09:35.120 that they're going to do
00:09:35.760 everything they can
00:09:36.440 to drive him out
00:09:37.260 of the Democrat Party
00:09:38.220 just like they would
00:09:39.400 Bill Clinton
00:09:39.860 if he were there
00:09:40.600 but I don't know
00:09:42.840 a Democrat
00:09:43.480 and interestingly
00:09:44.520 one ambitious Democrat
00:09:47.440 is there nobody
00:09:48.400 looking around
00:09:49.560 Andy Beshear
00:09:51.220 who's pretending
00:09:51.960 he's a moderate
00:09:53.240 in Kentucky
00:09:53.980 Josh Shapiro
00:09:55.020 who has got to be
00:09:57.460 horrified
00:09:58.720 at what Mondami's saying
00:09:59.980 has he said a word
00:10:01.340 crickets, crickets, crickets
00:10:02.800 there is not one
00:10:06.560 and
00:10:08.020 maybe that will change
00:10:10.700 but I fear
00:10:12.900 not just for the state
00:10:13.840 of the Democrat Party
00:10:14.740 but I fear
00:10:15.500 for the future
00:10:17.920 of our republic
00:10:18.660 I think we do better
00:10:19.720 when we have two
00:10:20.620 political parties
00:10:21.620 that are reasonable
00:10:22.940 and rational
00:10:23.660 and have some
00:10:24.320 meaningful disagreements
00:10:25.480 than we do
00:10:26.140 with one party
00:10:27.020 that is utterly
00:10:27.840 whack job
00:10:28.720 and trying to destroy
00:10:29.660 America
00:10:30.200 look we've seen
00:10:32.220 through history
00:10:32.980 it is a pendulum
00:10:34.660 and it goes from
00:10:35.280 one party to the other
00:10:36.280 there will come a time
00:10:37.800 when these lunatics
00:10:38.600 are in charge
00:10:39.220 of the country again
00:10:40.140 and they've gotten
00:10:42.040 so extreme
00:10:42.840 that I really
00:10:44.000 shudder and fear
00:10:44.780 for our great nation
00:10:45.580 now if you want to hear
00:10:46.680 the rest of this conversation
00:10:48.200 you can go back
00:10:49.180 and listen to the full podcast

00:11:20.740 listen to your podcasts
00:11:21.700 now on to story
00:11:24.220 number two
00:11:25.220 now Iyan
00:11:25.960 tell us what's
00:11:27.340 happening in Nigeria
00:11:28.320 and as you know
00:11:29.480 I've been very vocal
00:11:30.520 calling out
00:11:31.820 the mass murder
00:11:32.680 of Christians
00:11:33.300 over 50,000 Christians
00:11:34.720 have been murdered
00:11:35.500 in Nigeria
00:11:36.200 since 2009
00:11:37.480 over 20,000 churches
00:11:39.640 and schools
00:11:40.480 have been destroyed
00:11:41.540 burned to the ground
00:11:42.520 and you have
00:11:43.860 Boko Haram
00:11:44.580 and other radical
00:11:45.360 Islamic terrorist groups
00:11:46.520 that are targeting
00:11:47.300 and persecuting
00:11:48.140 Christians in particular
00:11:49.100 and I will tell you
00:11:49.800 the government of Nigeria
00:11:51.220 is very unhappy with me
00:11:52.380 they have decried
00:11:53.480 my saying this
00:11:54.400 I have introduced
00:11:54.960 legislation
00:11:55.660 to designate them
00:11:57.440 a country of special concern
00:11:58.720 and the government
00:12:00.040 of Nigeria
00:12:00.480 is very unhappy
00:12:01.260 and I've said look
00:12:01.940 there are far too many
00:12:04.000 government leaders
00:12:04.760 who have turned
00:12:05.300 a blind eye
00:12:05.940 to what is happening
00:12:06.700 who have acquiesced
00:12:07.600 in what is happening
00:12:08.380 who are enforcing
00:12:09.880 either Sharia laws
00:12:11.040 or blasphemy laws
00:12:12.120 and facilitating
00:12:13.660 the persecution
00:12:14.500 of Christians
00:12:15.140 and as I said
00:12:16.480 the Nigerian government
00:12:18.280 has been vigorously
00:12:19.880 resisting me in this
00:12:20.880 give me your judgment
00:12:22.600 what do you see
00:12:23.380 happening in Nigeria
00:12:24.600 and what do you think
00:12:25.520 is actually the truth
00:12:27.340 Nigeria is the most
00:12:32.720 important African country
00:12:33.940 it has the largest
00:12:35.620 population
00:12:36.300 and obviously
00:12:37.740 there is a vying
00:12:38.620 for control
00:12:39.420 between on the one hand
00:12:41.100 the Islamic states
00:12:43.540 of Nigeria
00:12:44.280 and the Christian states
00:12:46.880 of Nigeria
00:12:47.420 and it used to be
00:12:50.560 about 50-50
00:12:51.600 but because
00:12:53.160 the Islamist movement
00:12:55.660 Boko Haram
00:12:56.400 and others
00:12:56.880 they want to apply
00:12:58.480 force
00:12:59.380 the jihadist force
00:13:00.740 this sort of gruesome
00:13:01.680 killing that we've seen
00:13:02.480 on October 7
00:13:03.540 in 2023
00:13:05.200 in Israel
00:13:06.060 so what is going on
00:13:08.060 in Nigeria
00:13:09.180 the Islamists
00:13:11.360 in Nigeria
00:13:12.100 are killing Christians
00:13:13.780 they're burning
00:13:14.820 their churches
00:13:15.540 they're raping
00:13:16.820 their women
00:13:17.340 they are invoking
00:13:19.700 blasphemy laws
00:13:20.760 so in the southern
00:13:21.900 regions of Nigeria
00:13:23.120 Sharia law
00:13:24.200 is the law
00:13:24.900 and if you say
00:13:26.000 Ted Cruz
00:13:26.900 has
00:13:27.380 you know
00:13:28.240 he said something
00:13:29.140 bad against Islam
00:13:30.340 you can have a mob
00:13:31.660 come and lynch you
00:13:32.600 and there's nothing
00:13:33.580 you can do about it
00:13:34.520 but then the government
00:13:35.300 should be doing
00:13:35.920 something about it
00:13:36.720 and the government
00:13:37.200 isn't doing anything
00:13:38.180 about it
00:13:38.700 now what is the
00:13:40.080 characteristic of
00:13:40.960 the government
00:13:41.520 of Nigeria
00:13:42.280 it's corrupt
00:13:43.060 the elites in Nigeria
00:13:45.300 whether they're Muslim
00:13:46.200 or whether they're Christian
00:13:47.460 they're in this bubble
00:13:49.500 and I think that bubble
00:13:51.180 has to be burst
00:13:52.180 they're in a comfort bubble
00:13:53.200 I don't really think
00:13:54.240 that they care about
00:13:55.360 that much
00:13:56.220 about or are held
00:13:57.220 responsible or accountable
00:13:58.440 or transparent
00:13:59.260 for what is going on
00:14:00.700 with a large majority
00:14:01.980 of the Nigerian population
00:14:04.320 and that's what you see
00:14:06.020 and we give a lot of money
00:14:07.820 as the United States
00:14:08.980 and legitimacy
00:14:09.840 to this government
00:14:11.260 we've got to
00:14:12.260 hold them accountable
00:14:13.220 and I couldn't be
00:14:15.260 more pleased
00:14:15.980 that you are involved
00:14:17.420 in this
00:14:17.940 Senator Cruz
00:14:18.780 you're calling them out
00:14:19.900 and you're going to say
00:14:20.620 if you want to be
00:14:21.300 our ally and our friend
00:14:22.480 we need you
00:14:23.820 to uphold your end
00:14:25.080 of being
00:14:25.580 a responsible
00:14:26.800 and responsive government
00:14:28.140 there's a goal
00:14:29.220 there are more Christians
00:14:30.780 being murdered in Nigeria
00:14:32.160 than any country
00:14:34.000 on planet earth
00:14:34.860 now one thing you said
00:14:35.980 that I thought was interesting
00:14:37.200 and I think
00:14:37.760 many of our listeners
00:14:39.020 will not have heard
00:14:39.800 this before
00:14:40.420 you said in your judgment
00:14:42.700 Nigeria is the most important
00:14:44.800 African country
00:14:46.040 tell our listeners
00:14:47.540 why that is
00:14:48.560 because many will not have
00:14:50.140 a deep familiarity
00:14:51.120 with that
00:14:51.620 it has the largest population
00:14:54.020 it has oil resources
00:14:55.800 the population is very young
00:14:57.740 it's English speaking
00:14:59.380 highly educated
00:15:00.540 let me just give you
00:15:01.420 an example
00:15:02.000 Kemi Badenoch
00:15:03.300 I hope the future
00:15:04.540 Prime Minister
00:15:05.120 of the United Kingdom
00:15:06.940 is from Nigeria
00:15:08.000 and he's Christian
00:15:08.960 so if we were
00:15:10.580 you know
00:15:11.900 in our relationship
00:15:12.840 with
00:15:13.460 right now
00:15:15.620 Russia
00:15:16.040 China
00:15:17.160 etc
00:15:17.800 I think the continent
00:15:19.420 as a whole
00:15:20.440 the continent of Africa
00:15:21.660 which is home
00:15:23.200 to over a billion people
00:15:25.340 yes
00:15:25.960 and growing
00:15:27.380 a young population
00:15:28.580 that is growing
00:15:29.280 significantly
00:15:29.680 the youngest population
00:15:31.460 and it's the only population
00:15:32.760 on planet earth
00:15:33.540 that is growing
00:15:34.260 as rapidly
00:15:35.260 as it's doing
00:15:36.100 right
00:15:36.880 and so Nigeria
00:15:38.820 and so Nigeria
00:15:38.840 is strategically important
00:15:40.640 Nigeria is
00:15:41.620 is the sort of country
00:15:43.400 that should be
00:15:44.140 our ally
00:15:44.900 and there is
00:15:46.200 a huge
00:15:47.160 Christian
00:15:48.000 population
00:15:49.340 that means
00:15:50.800 they share
00:15:51.240 norms and values
00:15:52.380 with us
00:15:53.220 and we should not
00:15:54.200 be abandoning
00:15:55.140 Nigeria
00:15:55.720 and so
00:15:56.920 the population
00:15:58.380 is pro-American
00:15:59.780 but then
00:16:00.900 they are let down
00:16:02.080 by their government
00:16:02.800 and I think
00:16:03.700 that can change
00:16:04.720 if we were even
00:16:06.000 to bring
00:16:06.560 a little bit
00:16:08.080 of leverage
00:16:08.600 down on them
00:16:09.440 because
00:16:10.280 we have that leverage
00:16:11.360 when you say
00:16:12.620 a little bit of leverage
00:16:13.400 what do you mean
00:16:14.180 like what
00:16:14.700 what would the leverage
00:16:15.620 look like
00:16:16.260 that you think
00:16:17.880 could literally
00:16:19.140 save lives
00:16:20.080 especially Christian lives
00:16:21.480 in Nigeria
00:16:21.960 who are being
00:16:22.460 attacked right now
00:16:23.240 well it starts
00:16:25.680 from
00:16:26.060 the amounts
00:16:27.520 of development
00:16:28.260 aid
00:16:28.760 money that we give them
00:16:30.580 we could apply
00:16:32.040 sanctions
00:16:32.920 we could
00:16:34.440 I mean
00:16:36.500 we
00:16:37.060 well
00:16:39.000 in my legislation
00:16:39.960 would sanctions
00:16:40.860 particular government
00:16:42.460 officials
00:16:43.020 so government
00:16:44.060 officials
00:16:44.500 at the local
00:16:45.120 level
00:16:45.640 who are engaged
00:16:47.900 in facilitating
00:16:48.720 and acquiescing
00:16:49.680 in this persecution
00:16:50.520 and so it's
00:16:51.320 designed
00:16:52.020 to
00:16:52.900 use the power
00:16:55.440 of the U.S. economy
00:16:56.460 and U.S. sanctions
00:16:57.460 to incentivize
00:16:59.020 different behavior
00:16:59.660 absolutely
00:17:01.080 and incentivize
00:17:03.220 legitimacy
00:17:04.340 is really important
00:17:05.480 for them
00:17:05.940 to keep their money
00:17:07.180 in America
00:17:07.760 to in
00:17:08.240 you know
00:17:08.620 all of these
00:17:09.560 the private jets
00:17:11.080 they come
00:17:11.640 and they play
00:17:12.580 in America
00:17:13.700 and American
00:17:14.920 allies
00:17:15.820 even when they play
00:17:16.820 in Europe
00:17:17.260 I think we have
00:17:18.180 a say over that
00:17:19.100 but I don't want
00:17:20.340 to go into
00:17:20.840 the details
00:17:21.460 of that
00:17:21.880 but I think
00:17:22.720 we can leverage
00:17:23.900 our influence
00:17:24.940 to make
00:17:25.720 the Nigerian
00:17:26.540 government
00:17:27.020 stop the
00:17:28.100 violence
00:17:28.560 immediately
00:17:29.200 they have
00:17:30.300 Sharia law
00:17:30.920 in the southern regions
00:17:32.140 we can see
00:17:32.960 and then we say
00:17:33.480 oh human rights
00:17:34.580 this that
00:17:35.040 and the other
00:17:35.540 where you have
00:17:37.100 Sharia law
00:17:38.300 you do not have
00:17:39.720 human rights
00:17:40.480 are you crazy
00:17:41.380 absolutely
00:17:42.160 absolutely
00:17:43.200 and we need
00:17:43.860 to stand up
00:17:44.480 and we need
00:17:45.180 to fight vigorously
00:17:46.120 to prevent it
00:17:46.820 here in the United States
00:17:47.920 okay final topic
00:17:48.980 and we're going to wrap up
00:17:49.740 in just a couple of minutes
00:17:50.600 but but you were born
00:17:52.640 in Somalia
00:17:53.260 as you know
00:17:54.500 I publicly called
00:17:55.660 on the Trump administration
00:17:56.620 to recognize
00:17:58.080 Somaliland
00:17:59.020 as a separate
00:18:00.380 and independent nation
00:18:01.560 tell our viewers
00:18:03.620 what you think
00:18:04.280 about that
00:18:04.900 and if you think
00:18:05.480 that makes sense
00:18:06.300 tell them why
00:18:07.020 I think we should
00:18:08.840 reward Somaliland
00:18:10.500 for what they have
00:18:11.940 achieved
00:18:12.520 they have been
00:18:13.880 since 1906
00:18:15.880 I mean
00:18:16.240 the former
00:18:17.320 dictatorial government
00:18:18.440 Siad Barri
00:18:19.060 they were massacred
00:18:20.600 they were
00:18:21.480 delivered into
00:18:22.340 becoming part of Somalia
00:18:23.820 they became part of Somalia
00:18:25.360 and they live
00:18:26.360 they have come to live
00:18:27.140 to regret it
00:18:27.840 but at the moment
00:18:28.480 very quickly
00:18:29.000 they are
00:18:29.900 the only viable
00:18:31.620 nation state
00:18:32.640 they have a
00:18:33.660 homogenous population
00:18:35.020 they speak one language
00:18:37.040 and there is a narrative
00:18:38.060 of national identity
00:18:39.220 of common suffering
00:18:40.540 but also common survival
00:18:41.800 you know
00:18:42.740 as a Somali
00:18:43.620 I will tell you something
00:18:44.620 I'm not
00:18:45.100 I'm an American
00:18:46.380 but
00:18:47.100 born in Somalia
00:18:48.780 I will say that
00:18:49.960 one of the things
00:18:51.000 that we Somalis
00:18:51.840 excel at
00:18:52.600 is in vengeance
00:18:53.360 but the leadership
00:18:55.380 of Somaliland
00:18:56.300 have decided
00:18:57.140 after 1991
00:18:58.140 that they were
00:18:59.000 not going to channel
00:19:00.000 the energy
00:19:00.480 of their population
00:19:01.260 into vengeance
00:19:02.060 but into
00:19:02.840 into building
00:19:04.200 what is a nation
00:19:05.880 and they are
00:19:07.340 economically violent
00:19:08.720 I think
00:19:09.180 that might have
00:19:10.180 oil
00:19:11.420 and gas
00:19:12.640 I think that
00:19:13.680 they could be
00:19:14.300 a strategic partner
00:19:15.460 I admire them
00:19:17.120 and they want
00:19:17.880 to stand with America
00:19:18.980 they are standing up
00:19:20.000 courageously
00:19:21.640 with the United States
00:19:22.500 it is in
00:19:23.980 our national interest
00:19:25.540 to recognize
00:19:26.360 Somaliland
00:19:27.140 to have
00:19:28.520 a major ally
00:19:30.580 on the horn of Africa
00:19:31.740 that is standing
00:19:32.660 with us
00:19:33.360 that's significant
00:19:35.000 and look
00:19:35.800 I am someone
00:19:36.680 who is very much
00:19:37.400 America first
00:19:38.080 we should be putting
00:19:39.060 American national security
00:19:40.960 interest first
00:19:41.620 and recognizing Somaliland
00:19:43.080 enhances those interests
00:19:44.880 absolutely
00:19:45.900 they are
00:19:46.840 absolutely
00:19:47.460 on the same page
00:19:48.260 as us
00:19:48.680 and also
00:19:49.460 they have recognized Israel
00:19:51.160 they have
00:19:52.440 defined
00:19:53.880 they have
00:19:54.500 a defined territory
00:19:56.440 they have
00:19:57.500 a permanent population
00:19:58.980 they issue passports
00:20:00.740 but the most important
00:20:01.960 thing is
00:20:02.680 that they
00:20:04.380 hold elections
00:20:06.240 one man
00:20:07.340 one vote
00:20:08.040 for president
00:20:08.940 for parliament
00:20:09.780 and local elections
00:20:10.980 and you can come
00:20:12.960 and survey those
00:20:14.100 and see that
00:20:14.900 they are actually
00:20:15.640 in some ways
00:20:16.340 better than
00:20:16.960 our American elections
00:20:18.600 and so I think
00:20:20.020 Somaliland
00:20:20.640 should be rewarded
00:20:21.700 for the fact
00:20:22.760 that they have
00:20:23.440 built a nation
00:20:24.380 they do not rely
00:20:25.920 on development aid
00:20:26.940 they never relied
00:20:28.020 on US aid
00:20:28.940 and that's
00:20:30.100 yeah
00:20:30.760 so please
00:20:32.280 liberate them
00:20:33.280 from what is
00:20:33.940 Somalia
00:20:34.500 Mogadishu
00:20:35.320 which is just
00:20:35.900 a broken
00:20:36.500 jihadi place
00:20:37.840 well Ayan
00:20:38.920 thank you for
00:20:39.680 taking the time
00:20:40.280 thank you for
00:20:40.820 joining us
00:20:41.300 I think this has
00:20:42.080 been a very
00:20:42.880 informative
00:20:44.620 podcast
00:20:45.840 I think our
00:20:46.480 listeners are really
00:20:47.040 going to get a lot
00:20:47.640 out of it
00:20:48.120 let me encourage

00:20:53.540 the threat
00:20:54.700 of political
00:20:55.180 Islam
00:20:55.540 what it means
00:20:56.380 what it's meant
00:20:56.940 in Europe
00:20:57.360 what it means
00:20:58.320 here in America
00:20:59.160 I think
00:21:00.360 it is
00:21:01.360 an incredibly
00:21:02.800 important topic
00:21:03.980 it is a very
00:21:04.660 real threat
00:21:05.400 it is a threat
00:21:06.080 that I am committed
00:21:07.140 to combating
00:21:07.800 and one of the
00:21:09.560 purposes of

00:22:06.600 number three of the
00:22:07.360 week you may have
00:22:07.980 missed
00:22:08.300 all right so
00:22:10.000 this one is
00:22:10.880 just one of those
00:22:11.820 segments that
00:22:12.540 I'm just going to
00:22:13.520 enjoy
00:22:13.960 Bill Gates
00:22:15.720 is a guy that
00:22:16.980 was like the
00:22:17.600 world's going to
00:22:18.080 end senator
00:22:18.660 and we're all
00:22:19.280 going to you know
00:22:19.880 die of heat
00:22:21.220 and global warming
00:22:22.440 is real
00:22:22.940 and I'm investing
00:22:24.060 in all these
00:22:24.760 projects and things
00:22:26.040 and the government
00:22:27.200 should be doing
00:22:27.780 the same
00:22:28.260 and now he's like
00:22:29.140 all right screw it
00:22:29.800 it's not going to
00:22:30.340 happen
00:22:30.600 it reminds me
00:22:32.020 I think it was
00:22:32.520 Newsweek back in
00:22:33.460 the 80s
00:22:34.020 where they said
00:22:34.780 we're all going
00:22:35.140 to freeze to death
00:22:36.020 from like arctic
00:22:36.900 freezing of the
00:22:37.800 entire globe
00:22:38.740 that went away too
00:22:40.500 so they got it
00:22:41.280 wrong in the 80s
00:22:42.180 and now Bill Gates
00:22:43.400 is admitting
00:22:43.860 and Al Gore
00:22:44.560 remember we were
00:22:45.080 supposed to be
00:22:45.440 dead like after
00:22:46.060 10 years
00:22:46.520 that was like
00:22:46.940 10 years ago
00:22:47.520 when he made
00:22:47.920 his prediction
00:22:48.460 that we're all
00:22:49.340 going to die
00:22:49.680 of global warming
00:22:50.340 none of it's
00:22:51.220 actually happened
00:22:51.900 and so now Bill
00:22:52.680 Gates is like
00:22:53.040 all right screw
00:22:54.120 it I was wrong
00:22:55.000 I guess
00:22:55.700 so it wasn't
00:22:57.720 10 years
00:22:58.300 it was 12 years
00:22:59.200 and for some
00:22:59.860 reason for the
00:23:00.740 apocalyptic left
00:23:01.880 the world is always
00:23:03.160 ending in 12 years
00:23:04.240 and that's been
00:23:04.760 true for about
00:23:05.460 two decades now
00:23:06.460 they've been saying
00:23:07.460 12 years from now
00:23:08.280 we're all going to
00:23:08.740 die 12 years from
00:23:09.560 now we're all
00:23:10.220 going to die
00:23:10.720 and I got to say
00:23:11.800 Bill Gates was
00:23:12.580 willing to be
00:23:13.340 as hysterical
00:23:14.620 as Greta
00:23:15.940 the European
00:23:17.320 teenager who
00:23:18.360 shut down
00:23:19.380 the German economy
00:23:20.640 because they
00:23:21.220 listened to a
00:23:21.800 teenager and said
00:23:22.640 hey why don't we
00:23:24.020 shut down all of
00:23:24.740 our nuclear power
00:23:25.400 plants and then
00:23:26.620 they suddenly realize
00:23:27.540 they couldn't
00:23:28.040 power their
00:23:28.500 country and
00:23:29.280 ironically enough
00:23:30.140 instead they're
00:23:30.900 now opening
00:23:31.460 coal plants and
00:23:32.280 polluting a lot
00:23:32.880 more so
00:23:33.460 the apocalypse
00:23:36.760 the world is
00:23:37.720 ending because of
00:23:38.440 climate change
00:23:39.080 well look
00:23:39.400 all right
00:23:39.680 don't necessarily
00:23:40.980 believe me
00:23:41.560 let me let me
00:23:42.000 just read
00:23:42.720 what Bill Gates
00:23:44.220 has done
00:23:44.580 so this is from
00:23:45.360 Daily Wire
00:23:45.920 Microsoft co-founder
00:23:47.360 Bill Gates has done
00:23:48.180 an about face on
00:23:48.960 climate change
00:23:49.580 alarmism
00:23:50.120 recently saying
00:23:51.480 that there are
00:23:52.000 more pressing
00:23:52.680 matters people should
00:23:53.600 be worrying about
00:23:54.240 instead
00:23:54.620 the 70-year-old
00:23:56.080 tech billionaire
00:23:56.660 who has been
00:23:57.400 an outspoken
00:23:58.120 environmental
00:23:58.600 activist for
00:23:59.340 years
00:23:59.840 said as much
00:24:01.220 in a memo
00:24:01.960 published Tuesday
00:24:03.000 titled
00:24:03.580 three tough
00:24:04.960 truths about
00:24:05.860 climate
00:24:06.300 here's what he
00:24:08.100 wrote
00:24:08.320 climate change
00:24:09.160 disease and
00:24:09.720 poverty are all
00:24:10.400 major problems
00:24:11.480 we should deal
00:24:12.680 with them in
00:24:13.380 proportion to the
00:24:14.420 suffering they
00:24:15.120 cause
00:24:15.660 the businessman
00:24:16.820 admitted that
00:24:18.260 the earth's
00:24:18.800 temperature is not
00:24:20.000 the most important
00:24:20.880 factor for improving
00:24:21.860 life on the
00:24:22.480 planet
00:24:22.780 and said the
00:24:24.200 quote
00:24:24.560 doomsday view
00:24:25.940 of climate
00:24:26.520 change is
00:24:27.800 wrong
00:24:28.240 let me let me
00:24:28.820 read that again
00:24:29.460 Bill Gates
00:24:29.980 said the
00:24:30.900 doomsday view
00:24:32.120 of climate
00:24:32.640 change is
00:24:33.880 wrong
00:24:34.300 here's what
00:24:34.740 he wrote
00:24:35.080 quote
00:24:35.460 although climate
00:24:37.020 change will have
00:24:37.620 serious consequences
00:24:38.700 particularly for
00:24:39.780 people in the
00:24:40.300 poorest countries
00:24:41.040 it will not
00:24:42.700 lead to
00:24:43.640 humanity's
00:24:44.440 demise
00:24:44.960 shocking that
00:24:46.760 Bill Gates
00:24:47.240 said that
00:24:47.800 and and here
00:24:49.100 he goes on
00:24:49.660 to say
00:24:50.080 quote
00:24:50.420 does that mean
00:24:51.040 does that mean
00:24:51.740 he can fly on
00:24:52.280 his private jets
00:24:52.960 now and like
00:24:53.680 take a nap
00:24:54.260 not be like
00:24:54.880 having to buy
00:24:55.300 carbon credits
00:24:55.980 or get on
00:24:56.440 his yacht
00:24:56.800 I'm just
00:24:57.140 confused
00:24:57.400 I want to be
00:24:57.900 I want to be
00:24:58.320 cleared here
00:24:58.720 what does this
00:24:59.100 free him up
00:24:59.600 to do
00:24:59.980 oh no no
00:25:00.520 the carbon
00:25:00.920 credit scam
00:25:01.640 is definitely
00:25:02.280 still on
00:25:03.000 but he's going
00:25:03.880 to keep flying
00:25:04.460 on his jet
00:25:05.060 and remember
00:25:05.780 by the way
00:25:06.340 John Kerry
00:25:07.240 the zealot
00:25:07.900 when he
00:25:08.220 discussed his
00:25:08.820 private plane
00:25:09.460 he said
00:25:09.860 you know
00:25:10.460 he flies
00:25:10.900 private
00:25:11.320 because he
00:25:11.820 says
00:25:12.040 really
00:25:12.640 for someone
00:25:13.120 like me
00:25:13.560 it's the
00:25:13.880 only reasonable
00:25:14.800 way to
00:25:15.220 travel
00:25:15.540 yes
00:25:16.160 but like
00:25:16.620 the utter
00:25:17.460 hypocrisy
00:25:18.560 but here's
00:25:20.020 what Gates
00:25:20.440 wrote
00:25:20.720 this is a
00:25:21.980 chance to
00:25:22.460 refocus on
00:25:23.240 the metric
00:25:23.680 that should
00:25:24.280 count even
00:25:25.080 more than
00:25:25.640 emissions and
00:25:26.280 temperature change
00:25:27.180 improving lives
00:25:29.280 our chief goal
00:25:30.420 should be to
00:25:30.980 prevent suffering
00:25:31.880 particularly for
00:25:33.120 those in the
00:25:33.620 toughest conditions
00:25:34.420 who live in the
00:25:35.300 world's poorest
00:25:35.960 countries
00:25:36.500 and he added
00:25:37.720 quote
00:25:38.140 although climate
00:25:39.600 change will hurt
00:25:40.400 poor people more
00:25:41.160 than anyone else
00:25:41.940 for the vast
00:25:42.540 majority of them
00:25:43.480 it will not be
00:25:44.540 the only or even
00:25:45.500 the biggest threat
00:25:46.840 to their welfare
00:25:48.040 and he wrote
00:25:48.760 this 17 page
00:25:49.700 analysis ahead
00:25:50.880 of next month's
00:25:51.920 United Nations
00:25:52.680 climate change
00:25:53.460 conference in
00:25:54.620 Brazil
00:25:55.200 hoping to shift
00:25:56.820 funding away
00:25:57.520 from climate
00:25:58.140 initiatives towards
00:25:59.020 other endeavors
00:25:59.920 that he now
00:26:00.540 believes are
00:26:01.520 more important
00:26:02.360 look I don't
00:26:04.180 know about you
00:26:04.780 but I'm not
00:26:05.360 tired of winning
00:26:06.040 I mean this
00:26:07.600 is climate
00:26:08.740 change was an
00:26:09.680 excuse
00:26:09.940 it was all a
00:26:10.300 scam to make
00:26:10.840 a bunch of
00:26:11.240 money is that
00:26:11.740 what we can
00:26:12.120 kind of get
00:26:12.500 to here it
00:26:13.040 was just
00:26:13.300 about follow
00:26:13.880 the money
00:26:14.300 money and
00:26:15.240 power there's
00:26:16.020 a lot of
00:26:16.400 money about
00:26:17.520 power look
00:26:18.680 look for
00:26:19.160 for Democrats
00:26:19.900 if you are
00:26:20.600 a socialist
00:26:21.120 if you are
00:26:21.660 a communist
00:26:22.200 if you are
00:26:22.820 a comrade
00:26:23.420 uh
00:26:24.300 Mondani
00:26:25.820 I assume
00:26:27.440 he's a climate
00:26:28.060 change nut
00:26:28.720 I don't actually
00:26:29.680 know that
00:26:30.440 but I know
00:26:31.060 he's a communist
00:26:31.680 and and and
00:26:32.800 climate change
00:26:34.080 was the excuse
00:26:35.400 for communists
00:26:36.840 to seize
00:26:37.240 control of our
00:26:38.000 government
00:26:38.340 and and and
00:26:39.040 that today's
00:26:40.320 Democrat party
00:26:41.180 it was a great
00:26:41.900 we're all gonna
00:26:42.660 die unless
00:26:43.580 you let me
00:26:44.680 the Democrat
00:26:46.140 politician
00:26:46.840 control the
00:26:47.920 energy and
00:26:48.860 business and
00:26:49.720 your life
00:26:50.800 and and regulate
00:26:51.660 every aspect of
00:26:52.680 your life
00:26:53.140 the fact that
00:26:54.260 Bill Gates is
00:26:54.840 making this
00:26:55.320 change it
00:26:55.960 really shows
00:26:56.880 the momentum
00:26:58.020 is moving
00:26:58.960 and people
00:26:59.560 are are
00:27:00.140 engaged in
00:27:00.940 just just
00:27:01.380 common sense
00:27:02.640 is coming
00:27:03.060 back
00:27:03.460 well and
00:27:04.180 and not only
00:27:04.720 common sense
00:27:05.380 but like you
00:27:05.880 look at a lot
00:27:06.240 of these solar
00:27:06.700 farms uh
00:27:07.880 they're like
00:27:08.500 being dormanted
00:27:09.360 right now
00:27:09.880 like they're
00:27:10.320 just shutting
00:27:10.740 them down
00:27:11.160 because they
00:27:11.660 just can't
00:27:12.400 work
00:27:12.720 they're not
00:27:13.160 working
00:27:13.580 and the
00:27:14.380 pollution that
00:27:15.020 comes actually
00:27:16.140 from the
00:27:16.780 turbines and
00:27:17.520 all the other
00:27:17.880 things are
00:27:18.220 actually saying
00:27:18.680 it's like having
00:27:19.200 a real negative
00:27:19.780 effect on the
00:27:20.380 environment
00:27:20.860 shocker there
00:27:21.780 uh and then we
00:27:22.740 also found out
00:27:23.480 that like a
00:27:23.940 pension fund in
00:27:24.700 California lost
00:27:25.940 like 70 plus
00:27:26.980 percent of the
00:27:27.540 investment that
00:27:28.180 they went in
00:27:28.580 green alternative
00:27:29.180 energy that
00:27:30.240 just came out
00:27:30.840 so like they
00:27:31.460 screwed countless
00:27:32.900 hard-working even
00:27:34.060 liberals in
00:27:34.840 California with
00:27:35.700 this crap
00:27:36.480 and a point to
00:27:37.720 understand the
00:27:38.740 climate change
00:27:39.720 radicals have
00:27:41.360 consistently hurt
00:27:42.780 the environment
00:27:43.680 they are bad
00:27:44.700 on the environment
00:27:45.700 if the only
00:27:46.760 thing you care
00:27:47.560 about if you
00:27:48.100 wake up every
00:27:48.820 morning uh
00:27:50.080 praying to
00:27:50.960 mother earth
00:27:51.540 if that's your
00:27:52.380 only voting
00:27:53.280 issue you should
00:27:54.140 vote against
00:27:54.560 democrats why
00:27:55.880 let's let let's
00:27:56.780 take for example
00:27:57.520 Germany the
00:27:58.660 greens forced
00:27:59.660 nuclear power
00:28:00.420 plants to be
00:28:01.040 closed the
00:28:02.100 result is today
00:28:03.080 Germany is relying
00:28:04.000 more on coal
00:28:04.840 which is much
00:28:05.640 much worse for
00:28:06.460 the environment
00:28:07.120 and and and
00:28:08.440 what country
00:28:09.880 is leads the
00:28:11.880 world every
00:28:12.700 year in the
00:28:13.240 reduction of
00:28:13.760 carbon emissions
00:28:14.420 which one
00:28:16.580 that would be
00:28:17.620 the United
00:28:18.000 States of
00:28:18.520 America do
00:28:19.060 you know why
00:28:19.540 why is that
00:28:20.760 look this is a
00:28:22.620 question actually
00:28:23.380 I pose when
00:28:24.180 I'm when I'm
00:28:24.760 on a college
00:28:25.140 campus when I'm
00:28:25.860 talking to
00:28:26.280 college kids
00:28:27.020 and they're
00:28:27.360 Bernie Sanders
00:28:28.000 supporters and
00:28:28.800 they're they're
00:28:29.180 freaked out about
00:28:29.840 the the climate
00:28:30.600 I'll ask him a
00:28:31.800 question I'll say
00:28:32.420 tell me what
00:28:33.900 human being has
00:28:35.640 done the most to
00:28:36.580 reduce climate in
00:28:37.440 our lifetimes
00:28:38.040 and inevitably
00:28:39.100 they have no
00:28:39.720 idea there is an
00:28:41.240 objectively right
00:28:42.040 answer the right
00:28:42.640 answer to this is
00:28:43.460 George Mitchell
00:28:44.080 now who is
00:28:45.240 George Mitchell
00:28:45.760 George Mitchell
00:28:46.840 was a Texas
00:28:47.800 oil man he was
00:28:48.720 the son of a
00:28:49.800 Greek goat
00:28:50.940 herder and
00:28:52.360 George Mitchell
00:28:53.140 is is the
00:28:54.680 the man most
00:28:55.580 responsible for
00:28:56.540 pioneering fracking
00:28:57.860 and he did it in
00:28:58.920 the Barnett Shale
00:28:59.840 under Fort Worth
00:29:00.660 and Dallas
00:29:01.220 fracking unlocked
00:29:03.800 the shale
00:29:04.600 revolution which
00:29:05.560 resulted in
00:29:06.320 massive production
00:29:07.680 of natural gas
00:29:09.100 much of it in
00:29:09.760 Texas although
00:29:10.380 also in
00:29:10.880 Pennsylvania and
00:29:11.560 Ohio and other
00:29:12.660 states across the
00:29:13.460 country and the
00:29:14.980 reason the United
00:29:16.100 States every year
00:29:17.300 leads the world in
00:29:18.460 the reduction of
00:29:20.020 carbon emissions is
00:29:21.160 because at a wide
00:29:22.580 scale level we are
00:29:23.800 replacing coal
00:29:25.260 powered electricity
00:29:26.780 generation with
00:29:28.500 natural gas powered
00:29:29.880 electricity generation
00:29:31.140 and that pollutes
00:29:32.520 much much less it
00:29:33.480 emits much less
00:29:34.340 carbon and the
00:29:35.980 Greens and the
00:29:36.860 radical Dems have
00:29:38.040 opposed that at
00:29:38.840 every step by the
00:29:40.000 way do you know
00:29:40.580 what country leads
00:29:41.680 the world in
00:29:42.380 pollution what's
00:29:43.680 that that would be
00:29:44.760 communist China
00:29:45.560 which pollutes
00:29:46.500 massively and yet
00:29:47.660 the Biden
00:29:48.100 administration bear
00:29:49.240 hugged them with
00:29:49.800 all they had there
00:29:51.260 you go don't forget
00:29:52.240 we do this show to
00:29:53.400 talk about things
00:29:54.100 just like this
