Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Summit Takeaways | Allen Jackson Now | February 9, 2026
  • Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:17.106 --> 00:00:19.541
  • I'm alan jackson.
  • 00:00:19.541 --> 00:00:20.976
  • If there was ever a standout product
  • 00:00:20.976 --> 00:00:23.312
  • Of the climate change movement, it was the tesla
  • 00:00:23.312 --> 00:00:26.014
  • And plenty of them have been purchased.
  • 00:00:26.014 --> 00:00:27.850
  • The first two had
  • 00:00:27.850 --> 00:00:28.917
  • Left the factory in 2012, but times have changed.
  • 00:00:28.917 --> 00:00:32.254
  • And now the last of their two major models,
  • 00:00:32.254 --> 00:00:34.523
  • The s and the x,
  • 00:00:34.523 --> 00:00:35.924
  • Well, they'll come off the assembly line this summer.
  • 00:00:35.924 --> 00:00:38.360
  • Elon musk says he sees more of a future building robots.
  • 00:00:38.360 --> 00:00:41.830
  • But it's not just musk.
  • 00:00:42.331 --> 00:00:43.432
  • If al gore had been right.
  • 00:00:43.432 --> 00:00:45.167
  • Parts of florida, new york city and san francisco
  • 00:00:45.167 --> 00:00:47.836
  • Would have been underwater by now.
  • 00:00:47.836 --> 00:00:49.538
  • And greenland.
  • 00:00:49.538 --> 00:00:50.572
  • It'd be a lot smaller, too, since gore thought
  • 00:00:50.572 --> 00:00:52.641
  • Greenland's ice sheets were going to melt.
  • 00:00:52.641 --> 00:00:55.344
  • Well, i've yet to see the former vice
  • 00:00:55.344 --> 00:00:56.778
  • President walk back any of his statements.
  • 00:00:56.778 --> 00:00:59.882
  • The most frightening prediction back
  • 00:00:59.882 --> 00:01:01.483
  • Then was that
  • 00:01:01.483 --> 00:01:02.284
  • The earth would eventually get so hot
  • 00:01:02.284 --> 00:01:04.453
  • That it would become a self warming oven,
  • 00:01:04.453 --> 00:01:07.089
  • Even if there were no more emissions from any car factory.
  • 00:01:07.089 --> 00:01:10.325
  • One more fireplace.
  • 00:01:10.325 --> 00:01:13.061
  • But don't let the facts get in the way
  • 00:01:13.061 --> 00:01:14.496
  • Of any attempt to panic the public.
  • 00:01:14.496 --> 00:01:16.265
  • It gets the media attention.
  • 00:01:16.265 --> 00:01:18.433
  • Well, a little known
  • 00:01:18.433 --> 00:01:19.501
  • Fact in the public spread of global warming fears.
  • 00:01:19.501 --> 00:01:22.371
  • It actually occurred when president
  • 00:01:22.371 --> 00:01:23.705
  • Obama decided that using the word warming was a mistake
  • 00:01:23.705 --> 00:01:27.176
  • Because people like warm things
  • 00:01:27.809 --> 00:01:29.344
  • Like warm water and warm towels.
  • 00:01:29.344 --> 00:01:31.780
  • So he decided to rebrand
  • 00:01:31.780 --> 00:01:33.148
  • The movement climate change to much safer choice, of course,
  • 00:01:33.148 --> 00:01:37.219
  • Because the climate, well, it's always changing.
  • 00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:40.455
  • I would suggest that we're
  • 00:01:41.023 --> 00:01:42.257
  • Going to have to become more astute consumers of information.
  • 00:01:42.257 --> 00:01:45.294
  • Pay more attention to the world we're living in.
  • 00:01:45.294 --> 00:01:47.196
  • If we're going to be effective
  • 00:01:47.196 --> 00:01:48.664
  • As salt and light for the kingdom of god.
  • 00:01:48.664 --> 00:01:51.900
  • You know, there's a much harping on the concept of separation
  • 00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.736
  • Of church and state.
  • 00:01:54.736 --> 00:01:56.238
  • But if you dig just a bit deeper, it's really
  • 00:01:56.238 --> 00:01:58.207
  • That they don't want our faith influencing public policy.
  • 00:01:58.207 --> 00:02:01.977
  • That seems to be the motive behind the whole debate.
  • 00:02:01.977 --> 00:02:05.047
  • The unfortunate reality is that secular
  • 00:02:05.047 --> 00:02:07.482
  • Ideas are driving public policy these days.
  • 00:02:07.482 --> 00:02:10.886
  • It isn't science.
  • 00:02:10.886 --> 00:02:12.421
  • Science didn't drive the discussion that said
  • 00:02:12.421 --> 00:02:14.456
  • Fossil fuels are going to destroy us.
  • 00:02:14.456 --> 00:02:16.858
  • That was very much driven by ideology.
  • 00:02:16.858 --> 00:02:19.928
  • Case in point in 2018, climate
  • 00:02:19.928 --> 00:02:22.497
  • Activist greta thunberg fired off an urgent tweet.
  • 00:02:22.497 --> 00:02:25.867
  • The tweet said, and i quote a top climate scientist is warning
  • 00:02:25.867 --> 00:02:29.805
  • That climate change will wipe out all of humanity
  • 00:02:29.805 --> 00:02:32.674
  • Unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years.
  • 00:02:32.674 --> 00:02:36.678
  • Well, here we are
  • 00:02:37.112 --> 00:02:38.280
  • Eight years later and people and the planet still here.
  • 00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:42.217
  • What has vanished is not humanity
  • 00:02:42.217 --> 00:02:44.987
  • Or the earth, but rather that tweet.
  • 00:02:44.987 --> 00:02:48.290
  • Many households in nashville recently went without power
  • 00:02:48.290 --> 00:02:50.892
  • For several days due to an ice storm.
  • 00:02:50.892 --> 00:02:53.295
  • The power outage should not have lasted that long.
  • 00:02:53.295 --> 00:02:56.632
  • The ceo of the local nashville electric company
  • 00:02:56.632 --> 00:02:59.167
  • Has now come under fire
  • 00:02:59.167 --> 00:03:00.369
  • For her previous comments about protecting the tree canopy.
  • 00:03:00.369 --> 00:03:04.172
  • She seemed to be more worried about protecting the environment
  • 00:03:04.172 --> 00:03:06.541
  • Than protecting the nashville power grid.
  • 00:03:06.541 --> 00:03:10.078
  • A friend of mine, country singer
  • 00:03:10.078 --> 00:03:11.813
  • John rich, he was also without power for several days.
  • 00:03:11.813 --> 00:03:14.883
  • But while he was waiting for his power to be restored,
  • 00:03:14.883 --> 00:03:17.152
  • He wrote a song.
  • 00:03:17.152 --> 00:03:18.287
  • He took aim at al gore.
  • 00:03:18.287 --> 00:03:20.122
  • I wanted to share just a few of his lyrics.
  • 00:03:20.122 --> 00:03:22.791
  • Al and all his expertise had to save us from ourselves.
  • 00:03:22.791 --> 00:03:26.261
  • They made us drive
  • 00:03:26.261 --> 00:03:27.262
  • Electric cars and put up windmills everywhere.
  • 00:03:27.262 --> 00:03:30.532
  • Well, i guess they did too good a job
  • 00:03:30.532 --> 00:03:32.334
  • Because they just look around my town,
  • 00:03:32.334 --> 00:03:35.070
  • The isis piling up, and now the trees are falling down.
  • 00:03:35.070 --> 00:03:38.674
  • And when i lay down in my house, i can almost see my breath.
  • 00:03:38.674 --> 00:03:42.711
  • Global warming is freezing us to death.
  • 00:03:42.711 --> 00:03:45.847
  • Good job john.
  • 00:03:46.181 --> 00:03:47.683
  • You know,
  • 00:03:47.683 --> 00:03:48.884
  • It's a good injection of humor into a really bad situation.
  • 00:03:48.884 --> 00:03:51.820
  • But sadly,
  • 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:52.688
  • There have been
  • 00:03:52.688 --> 00:03:53.922
  • Some tragic consequences with the pushing of bad ideology.
  • 00:03:53.922 --> 00:03:58.360
  • While people consistently shout at us, told us to shut up
  • 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.263
  • And stay in the shadows.
  • 00:04:01.263 --> 00:04:02.698
  • Our government was using
  • 00:04:02.698 --> 00:04:03.932
  • Our taxpayer dollars to fund organizations who were
  • 00:04:03.932 --> 00:04:07.235
  • Performing gender mutilation procedures for minors.
  • 00:04:07.235 --> 00:04:11.540
  • There's no excuse for forcing taxpayers
  • 00:04:11.540 --> 00:04:13.542
  • To prop up an evil industry that prioritizes gender mutilation.
  • 00:04:13.542 --> 00:04:18.480
  • We've been doing everything from not burning coal
  • 00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:20.816
  • To mutilating our children due to ideology and not science.
  • 00:04:20.816 --> 00:04:25.721
  • Well, now the scientific community,
  • 00:04:26.521 --> 00:04:27.989
  • The american society of plastic surgeons,
  • 00:04:27.989 --> 00:04:30.592
  • Has released guidelines,
  • 00:04:30.592 --> 00:04:32.227
  • And they're saying that they do
  • 00:04:32.227 --> 00:04:33.328
  • Not recommend gender
  • 00:04:33.328 --> 00:04:34.596
  • Modifying procedures for minors any longer.
  • 00:04:34.596 --> 00:04:37.733
  • They said that there is insufficient scientific evidence
  • 00:04:37.733 --> 00:04:40.335
  • Supporting these types of procedures.
  • 00:04:40.335 --> 00:04:42.437
  • Those of us who have a
  • 00:04:42.904 --> 00:04:44.039
  • Biblical worldview, we shouldn't be surprised by that.
  • 00:04:44.039 --> 00:04:46.808
  • We use christ.
  • 00:04:47.142 --> 00:04:48.276
  • Followers can no longer sit on the sidelines in silence.
  • 00:04:48.276 --> 00:04:52.013
  • Those of us that are people of faith must be unapologetic
  • 00:04:52.013 --> 00:04:55.250
  • In saying that our worldview should be reflected in policy.
  • 00:04:55.250 --> 00:04:59.254
  • Now's the time to step out.
  • 00:04:59.254 --> 00:05:00.655
  • Speak truth in the public square.
  • 00:05:00.655 --> 00:05:03.358
  • Well, joining us in just a moment
  • 00:05:03.358 --> 00:05:05.060
  • Is the former senior staffer of the senate environment
  • 00:05:05.060 --> 00:05:08.196
  • And public works committee, mark morano.
  • 00:05:08.196 --> 00:05:10.866
  • He's now
  • 00:05:10.866 --> 00:05:11.933
  • The publisher of climate depot and our go to expert
  • 00:05:11.933 --> 00:05:14.403
  • On the environment.
  • 00:05:14.403 --> 00:05:15.904
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:05:15.904 --> 00:05:23.999
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:05:23.999 --> 00:05:28.543
  • We're back now with marc morano,
  • 00:05:29.177 --> 00:05:31.179
  • One of the country's
  • 00:05:31.179 --> 00:05:31.946
  • Leading environmental experts
  • 00:05:31.946 --> 00:05:33.448
  • And the publisher of climate depot.
  • 00:05:33.448 --> 00:05:36.251
  • Welcome back, sir.
  • 00:05:36.251 --> 00:05:38.286
  • Thank you for having me.
  • 00:05:38.286 --> 00:05:39.287
  • Reverend. happy to be here.
  • 00:05:39.287 --> 00:05:40.688
  • The last time we spoke, you were heading off to brazil
  • 00:05:40.688 --> 00:05:43.558
  • For the un climate change conference.
  • 00:05:43.558 --> 00:05:45.627
  • It's a group that's been meeting for decades.
  • 00:05:45.627 --> 00:05:48.096
  • Since then, president trump has told them
  • 00:05:48.096 --> 00:05:50.098
  • That the us is withdrawing from the un group.
  • 00:05:50.098 --> 00:05:53.001
  • Here is how he put it rather directly.
  • 00:05:53.001 --> 00:05:55.637
  • Climate change.
  • 00:05:56.004 --> 00:05:58.206
  • It's the greatest con job
  • 00:05:58.206 --> 00:05:59.874
  • Ever perpetrated on the world, in my opinion.
  • 00:05:59.874 --> 00:06:03.178
  • Climate change,
  • 00:06:03.178 --> 00:06:04.245
  • No matter what happens, you're involved in that.
  • 00:06:04.245 --> 00:06:07.482
  • No more global warming, no more global cooling.
  • 00:06:07.482 --> 00:06:10.218
  • All of these predictions made by the united nations
  • 00:06:10.218 --> 00:06:13.755
  • And many others, often for bad reasons, were wrong.
  • 00:06:13.755 --> 00:06:18.626
  • Well, you went down to brazil.
  • 00:06:19.227 --> 00:06:20.795
  • Tell us what happened.
  • 00:06:20.795 --> 00:06:22.997
  • Well, first of all, donald trump performed a masterclass
  • 00:06:22.997 --> 00:06:26.167
  • In strategy for the first time since this whole mess of the un
  • 00:06:26.167 --> 00:06:30.705
  • Climate process began in 1992.
  • 00:06:30.705 --> 00:06:33.808
  • For the first time
  • 00:06:33.808 --> 00:06:35.043
  • Since 1992, donald trump decided not to send any us delegation.
  • 00:06:35.043 --> 00:06:38.613
  • So there was no official us delegation, which allowed
  • 00:06:38.613 --> 00:06:42.417
  • The entire conference to descend into chaos.
  • 00:06:42.417 --> 00:06:46.154
  • The countries in the developing world,
  • 00:06:46.154 --> 00:06:48.656
  • Be it even russia, china, brazil,
  • 00:06:48.656 --> 00:06:52.126
  • All essentially had problems with the un
  • 00:06:52.126 --> 00:06:55.330
  • And they had a whole collapse of the even the,
  • 00:06:55.330 --> 00:06:58.433
  • The rhetoric, you know, the fossil free future.
  • 00:06:58.433 --> 00:07:01.536
  • And it was widely considered a complete failure.
  • 00:07:01.536 --> 00:07:04.672
  • And it was because of us absence that we created this vacuum.
  • 00:07:04.672 --> 00:07:07.876
  • And we
  • 00:07:07.876 --> 00:07:08.910
  • Empowered a lot of the developing world countries
  • 00:07:08.910 --> 00:07:10.345
  • Who didn't want to go along with this in the first place.
  • 00:07:10.345 --> 00:07:13.214
  • But even more interesting than the way this conference went,
  • 00:07:13.214 --> 00:07:16.284
  • Was this what a practical disaster it was?
  • 00:07:16.284 --> 00:07:19.687
  • And i'm not making this up, pastor.
  • 00:07:19.687 --> 00:07:21.322
  • They had, a failure of plumbing to the point where world
  • 00:07:21.322 --> 00:07:25.693
  • Leaders had no access to toilets for up to six hours.
  • 00:07:25.693 --> 00:07:29.297
  • Even when they got the toilets running,
  • 00:07:29.297 --> 00:07:30.832
  • You couldn't put toilet paper,
  • 00:07:30.832 --> 00:07:32.300
  • And then they had to ban toilet paper at the conference.
  • 00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:34.969
  • This was in a city where 80% of the residents in belem, brazil,
  • 00:07:34.969 --> 00:07:38.640
  • Don't even have access to adequate plumbing.
  • 00:07:38.640 --> 00:07:40.675
  • So the un picked this really poverty stricken city,
  • 00:07:40.675 --> 00:07:45.046
  • Overloaded it with 50,000 delegates,
  • 00:07:45.046 --> 00:07:47.682
  • Private planes, limousines, celebrities billed.
  • 00:07:47.682 --> 00:07:51.686
  • Al gore.
  • 00:07:51.953 --> 00:07:52.921
  • I don't know if bill gates actually went and,
  • 00:07:52.921 --> 00:07:54.489
  • You know, and,
  • 00:07:54.489 --> 00:07:56.257
  • And what happened
  • 00:07:56.257 --> 00:07:57.125
  • Was they had to bring in cruise ships
  • 00:07:57.125 --> 00:07:58.560
  • Because they didn't have enough hotel rooms.
  • 00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:00.028
  • The cruise ships had bigger carbon footprints
  • 00:08:00.028 --> 00:08:02.030
  • And the entire airline flights and hotels combined.
  • 00:08:02.030 --> 00:08:05.400
  • And then, of course, to finish it all off, they had
  • 00:08:05.400 --> 00:08:08.803
  • Two other things.
  • 00:08:08.803 --> 00:08:09.871
  • Haven't they had hamburgers sell out on day two
  • 00:08:09.871 --> 00:08:11.940
  • At bob's burgers?
  • 00:08:11.940 --> 00:08:13.207
  • This was the un
  • 00:08:13.207 --> 00:08:14.242
  • That wanted us to eat bugs and eat lab grown meat
  • 00:08:14.242 --> 00:08:17.612
  • And vegetable oil. processed fake meat.
  • 00:08:17.612 --> 00:08:20.348
  • The delegates themselves sold out of the meat.
  • 00:08:20.348 --> 00:08:23.084
  • And then the third and final thing that happened
  • 00:08:23.084 --> 00:08:24.819
  • Was the whole entire conference
  • 00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:26.721
  • Suffered a major fire that shut it down.
  • 00:08:26.721 --> 00:08:29.657
  • This was all a temporary structure made of tents,
  • 00:08:29.657 --> 00:08:32.393
  • And it went for like 80,
  • 00:08:32.393 --> 00:08:34.329
  • 80 football fields.
  • 00:08:34.796 --> 00:08:35.897
  • It was unbelievably just big temporary structure.
  • 00:08:35.897 --> 00:08:39.167
  • Well, that caught on fire.
  • 00:08:39.167 --> 00:08:40.535
  • And basically it was a great metaphor
  • 00:08:40.535 --> 00:08:42.971
  • For how the whole un climate process has gone up
  • 00:08:42.971 --> 00:08:45.840
  • In smoke, particularly since president trump was elected.
  • 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:49.644
  • I'm curious, did you hear anything in brazil
  • 00:08:49.644 --> 00:08:52.313
  • That made sense in the long run?
  • 00:08:52.313 --> 00:08:54.916
  • Well,
  • 00:08:54.916 --> 00:08:56.150
  • The only thing that made sense is right before brazil happened,
  • 00:08:56.150 --> 00:08:59.153
  • Bill gates
  • 00:08:59.153 --> 00:09:00.321
  • Announced that we were
  • 00:09:00.321 --> 00:09:01.456
  • Not in a climate catastrophe, that the world needed,
  • 00:09:01.456 --> 00:09:05.226
  • Fossil fuel development, that we needed human flourishing.
  • 00:09:05.226 --> 00:09:08.463
  • This was bill gates, the number one
  • 00:09:08.463 --> 00:09:10.431
  • Funder of the climate scare.
  • 00:09:10.431 --> 00:09:12.000
  • This was a man who was funding
  • 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:13.334
  • Blocking out the sun at harvard university.
  • 00:09:13.334 --> 00:09:15.937
  • This was a man who has been to every un climate summit
  • 00:09:15.937 --> 00:09:19.340
  • And who is, deeply involved in promoting media
  • 00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:23.945
  • And academic and corporate climate scare.
  • 00:09:23.945 --> 00:09:28.149
  • He flips.
  • 00:09:28.149 --> 00:09:29.450
  • And so al gore shows up at the summit and starts saying
  • 00:09:29.450 --> 00:09:32.253
  • That bill gates is acting silly and he's being bullied,
  • 00:09:32.253 --> 00:09:35.490
  • And he doesn't understand why bill gates
  • 00:09:35.490 --> 00:09:37.125
  • Is walking away from the climate emergency.
  • 00:09:37.125 --> 00:09:39.360
  • So the only thing that actually made sense was bill gates.
  • 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.096
  • And that was quite a shocker.
  • 00:09:42.096 --> 00:09:43.498
  • Well, elon musk has decided to stop building
  • 00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.035
  • Some of his electric cars and to make robots instead.
  • 00:09:47.035 --> 00:09:50.338
  • Ford gave up on the electric f-150, and porsche
  • 00:09:50.338 --> 00:09:53.174
  • Might cancel two planned evs as well.
  • 00:09:53.174 --> 00:09:56.344
  • But china, they're still going full steam ahead on electrics.
  • 00:09:56.344 --> 00:09:59.714
  • Hybrids have become
  • 00:10:00.181 --> 00:10:01.215
  • What they're calling the new transition vehicles.
  • 00:10:01.215 --> 00:10:04.318
  • What's the car buyer to do with these mixed messages?
  • 00:10:04.318 --> 00:10:07.121
  • And what about all those people who spent
  • 00:10:07.121 --> 00:10:08.790
  • Big dollars on the tesla x and s?
  • 00:10:08.790 --> 00:10:12.160
  • Well, this is this has always been a problem
  • 00:10:13.061 --> 00:10:15.763
  • With electric vehicles. and there's so many.
  • 00:10:15.763 --> 00:10:17.398
  • The first is they're not environmentally friendly.
  • 00:10:17.398 --> 00:10:20.134
  • Anyone who says, well, i'm going to get an ev
  • 00:10:20.134 --> 00:10:21.969
  • Because i want to save the earth.
  • 00:10:21.969 --> 00:10:23.171
  • It takes half 1 million pounds of material
  • 00:10:23.171 --> 00:10:24.672
  • Dug up from deep within the earth
  • 00:10:24.672 --> 00:10:26.007
  • To make one average 1,000 pounds tesla battery.
  • 00:10:26.007 --> 00:10:29.644
  • Plus you got to then
  • 00:10:30.111 --> 00:10:31.345
  • You have environmental standards coming chiefly from china
  • 00:10:31.345 --> 00:10:34.015
  • With human rights violations and low environmental standards.
  • 00:10:34.015 --> 00:10:37.351
  • Then you have to ship them across seaways,
  • 00:10:37.351 --> 00:10:39.921
  • Which is a huge carbon footprint.
  • 00:10:39.921 --> 00:10:41.589
  • Then you have to re charge them on the fossil fuel grid,
  • 00:10:41.589 --> 00:10:45.126
  • And then you have a whole
  • 00:10:45.126 --> 00:10:46.127
  • Recycling problem at the end of their life.
  • 00:10:46.127 --> 00:10:47.929
  • So that's the establishment.
  • 00:10:47.929 --> 00:10:49.530
  • But what president trump did and the gop congress
  • 00:10:49.530 --> 00:10:52.900
  • Give them credit. this is one of the few times
  • 00:10:52.900 --> 00:10:55.036
  • That they actually codified this.
  • 00:10:55.036 --> 00:10:57.071
  • It wasn't an executive order by trump.
  • 00:10:57.071 --> 00:10:58.906
  • This was actually legislation signed by president trump.
  • 00:10:58.906 --> 00:11:02.110
  • They got rid of the ev mandate.
  • 00:11:02.110 --> 00:11:04.378
  • They got rid of the california waiver.
  • 00:11:04.378 --> 00:11:06.147
  • They got rid of the
  • 00:11:06.147 --> 00:11:07.415
  • The congressional review act, which made it so that, you know,
  • 00:11:07.415 --> 00:11:09.417
  • Basically the car gas powered cars were going to be phased out
  • 00:11:09.417 --> 00:11:12.854
  • By 2035, 2040 depending on the state.
  • 00:11:12.854 --> 00:11:15.957
  • And they got rid of that whole ability of states
  • 00:11:15.957 --> 00:11:18.459
  • And an unregulated, unelected bureaucrats to do that.
  • 00:11:18.459 --> 00:11:22.730
  • So they got rid of the ev tax credit.
  • 00:11:22.730 --> 00:11:25.099
  • And because of that, you mentioned a few,
  • 00:11:25.099 --> 00:11:26.968
  • But we also have stellantis and chrysler.
  • 00:11:26.968 --> 00:11:29.337
  • Jeep just announced they're just stopping evs
  • 00:11:29.337 --> 00:11:32.073
  • Altogether, just out of the blue.
  • 00:11:32.073 --> 00:11:34.175
  • And it's a it's a for a simple reason.
  • 00:11:34.175 --> 00:11:37.111
  • The grift was over.
  • 00:11:37.111 --> 00:11:38.579
  • The only reason that we even got up to 7% of all ev
  • 00:11:38.579 --> 00:11:42.517
  • Sales
  • 00:11:42.517 --> 00:11:43.317
  • Was because the federal government
  • 00:11:43.317 --> 00:11:44.585
  • Mandates subsidies
  • 00:11:44.585 --> 00:11:45.686
  • And banning the competition of gas powered cars
  • 00:11:45.686 --> 00:11:48.689
  • So people that have evs.
  • 00:11:48.689 --> 00:11:50.491
  • The problem with an ev in all ev particularly,
  • 00:11:50.491 --> 00:11:53.427
  • It's like buying a phone.
  • 00:11:53.427 --> 00:11:54.862
  • You know, it's like buying the latest iphone or android.
  • 00:11:54.862 --> 00:11:57.899
  • They're great for a few years, but eventually
  • 00:11:57.899 --> 00:11:59.967
  • They're going to have problems.
  • 00:11:59.967 --> 00:12:01.469
  • And it's software you're beholden to the company
  • 00:12:01.469 --> 00:12:04.138
  • That bought you bought it from for software updates.
  • 00:12:04.138 --> 00:12:06.808
  • The companies can even remotely shut them down.
  • 00:12:06.808 --> 00:12:09.343
  • There's all sorts of stories now about them.
  • 00:12:09.343 --> 00:12:11.345
  • With listening devices.
  • 00:12:11.345 --> 00:12:12.780
  • And you have problems with the driverless cars of electric,
  • 00:12:12.780 --> 00:12:15.716
  • And you have problems with the tires,
  • 00:12:15.716 --> 00:12:17.518
  • You have problems with the weight,
  • 00:12:17.518 --> 00:12:18.586
  • You have problems with the parking garages,
  • 00:12:18.586 --> 00:12:20.588
  • You have problems with long term maintenance
  • 00:12:20.588 --> 00:12:22.256
  • And the cost of battery replacement.
  • 00:12:22.256 --> 00:12:24.458
  • It's just one of those things where the 7% who bought it,
  • 00:12:24.458 --> 00:12:27.328
  • We're usually people buying it as a second or third
  • 00:12:27.328 --> 00:12:29.730
  • Car, as the toyota toyota ceo even admitted,
  • 00:12:29.730 --> 00:12:33.634
  • And those people can usually afford that,
  • 00:12:33.634 --> 00:12:35.570
  • But they were not going to be for the average person.
  • 00:12:35.570 --> 00:12:37.672
  • So step into this void.
  • 00:12:37.672 --> 00:12:39.006
  • China slave labor, low, very low environmental standards.
  • 00:12:39.006 --> 00:12:43.845
  • They're going to crank out low end ev cars that are very cheap.
  • 00:12:43.845 --> 00:12:47.582
  • They will be for lower and middle class.
  • 00:12:47.582 --> 00:12:50.384
  • You know, citizens.
  • 00:12:50.384 --> 00:12:51.686
  • And canada
  • 00:12:51.686 --> 00:12:52.920
  • Signed a deal on their mark carney to have these flood them.
  • 00:12:52.920 --> 00:12:55.523
  • So we still face that threat
  • 00:12:55.523 --> 00:12:57.658
  • If you allow it, if you're willing
  • 00:12:57.658 --> 00:12:58.826
  • To allow this sort of, evs from china to pour in. but,
  • 00:12:58.826 --> 00:13:03.164
  • Again, i don't know,
  • 00:13:03.631 --> 00:13:05.533
  • I don't
  • 00:13:05.533 --> 00:13:06.234
  • Know the long term reliability,
  • 00:13:06.234 --> 00:13:07.668
  • But if china makes them cheap enough,
  • 00:13:07.668 --> 00:13:09.670
  • They could gut domestic auto industry.
  • 00:13:09.670 --> 00:13:11.706
  • So we're still we're not out of the woods with this yet.
  • 00:13:11.706 --> 00:13:14.609
  • But the real answer is we need to unleash american
  • 00:13:14.609 --> 00:13:18.246
  • And western industry again and not rely on china.
  • 00:13:18.246 --> 00:13:21.749
  • And that's what that's what the entire climate scare has done.
  • 00:13:21.749 --> 00:13:24.185
  • It's just made us beholden to china.
  • 00:13:24.185 --> 00:13:26.454
  • As howard has said, trump's commerce secretary.
  • 00:13:26.454 --> 00:13:29.590
  • Why would the west go with net zero policies on climate
  • 00:13:29.590 --> 00:13:33.494
  • When we don't even make our own batteries anymore?
  • 00:13:33.494 --> 00:13:35.730
  • Europe does need to make their own battery,
  • 00:13:35.730 --> 00:13:37.198
  • And yet they're ceding to the whole climate agenda,
  • 00:13:37.198 --> 00:13:39.300
  • Which basically just says china will
  • 00:13:39.300 --> 00:13:41.135
  • Depend on you for everything.
  • 00:13:41.135 --> 00:13:42.904
  • Well, mark, we need to take a short break.
  • 00:13:43.771 --> 00:13:45.406
  • Would you stay for another segment?
  • 00:13:45.406 --> 00:13:47.174
  • Sure. i'd be happy to.
  • 00:13:47.174 --> 00:13:48.409
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:13:48.409 --> 00:13:56.994
  • We'll be right back.
  • 00:13:56.994 --> 00:14:02.384
  • We're back now
  • 00:14:02.717 --> 00:14:03.618
  • With the publisher of the climate depot
  • 00:14:03.618 --> 00:14:05.553
  • And the author of the great reset, mark morano.
  • 00:14:05.553 --> 00:14:09.324
  • President trump has discussed ramping up new nuclear plants
  • 00:14:09.324 --> 00:14:12.627
  • And restarting some of those that were shut down.
  • 00:14:12.627 --> 00:14:15.263
  • The epa administrator explained that this is a better
  • 00:14:15.263 --> 00:14:17.933
  • Use of investment money
  • 00:14:17.933 --> 00:14:19.401
  • Than putting up more solar panels and windmills.
  • 00:14:19.401 --> 00:14:22.771
  • Listen to his comments.
  • 00:14:22.771 --> 00:14:24.839
  • One of the more shocking features of solar for all
  • 00:14:24.839 --> 00:14:28.076
  • Was with regards to the massive dilution
  • 00:14:28.076 --> 00:14:30.979
  • Of the money, as many grants go through pass through,
  • 00:14:30.979 --> 00:14:35.383
  • After pass through, after pass through after pass through,
  • 00:14:35.383 --> 00:14:40.188
  • With all of the middlemen taking their own cut
  • 00:14:40.188 --> 00:14:43.391
  • At least 15% by conservative estimates.
  • 00:14:43.391 --> 00:14:47.062
  • What a grift.
  • 00:14:47.429 --> 00:14:49.264
  • Mark, it's no wonder
  • 00:14:49.731 --> 00:14:50.966
  • The president's been calling it the green new scam, you see.
  • 00:14:50.966 --> 00:14:54.536
  • Right.
  • 00:14:54.536 --> 00:14:55.470
  • Yes. and leaves out and as i've said on
  • 00:14:55.470 --> 00:14:56.571
  • Your program, is the most consequential epa
  • 00:14:56.571 --> 00:14:59.140
  • Chief in the agency's history, going back to the 1970s,
  • 00:14:59.140 --> 00:15:01.943
  • When richard nixon started the agency.
  • 00:15:01.943 --> 00:15:04.312
  • He has done a phenomenal job at redirecting all this
  • 00:15:04.312 --> 00:15:07.582
  • And absolutely.
  • 00:15:07.582 --> 00:15:08.550
  • And energy secretary chris wright as well.
  • 00:15:08.550 --> 00:15:11.086
  • It's time for a nuclear renaissance in america.
  • 00:15:11.086 --> 00:15:14.022
  • It's going to take a long time.
  • 00:15:14.022 --> 00:15:15.357
  • Unfortunately, there's a lot of
  • 00:15:15.357 --> 00:15:16.491
  • Permitting reform they have to do.
  • 00:15:16.491 --> 00:15:18.026
  • It's a lot of upscaling.
  • 00:15:18.026 --> 00:15:19.861
  • There's also, you know, the potential for a
  • 00:15:19.861 --> 00:15:21.997
  • Sort of a more portable, smaller scale nuclear.
  • 00:15:21.997 --> 00:15:25.133
  • But a lot of this is because of the ai demands.
  • 00:15:25.133 --> 00:15:27.535
  • And remember i mentioned bill gates,
  • 00:15:27.535 --> 00:15:29.537
  • Reason bill gates has flipped on climate,
  • 00:15:30.438 --> 00:15:32.607
  • If you will,
  • 00:15:32.607 --> 00:15:33.308
  • Saying it's not a catastrophe
  • 00:15:33.308 --> 00:15:34.509
  • And we need to worry about human flourishing.
  • 00:15:34.509 --> 00:15:36.711
  • It's simply
  • 00:15:36.711 --> 00:15:37.812
  • Because they have ai, artificial intelligence ambitions
  • 00:15:37.812 --> 00:15:40.415
  • That they know.
  • 00:15:40.415 --> 00:15:41.249
  • According to blackrock ceo larry fink,
  • 00:15:41.249 --> 00:15:43.551
  • We can't power ai with solar and wind.
  • 00:15:43.551 --> 00:15:46.054
  • So you have mark zuckerberg looking to get a nuclear power
  • 00:15:46.054 --> 00:15:48.923
  • Plant, bill gates looking to lease three mile island.
  • 00:15:48.923 --> 00:15:52.494
  • You have all of these climate activists.
  • 00:15:52.494 --> 00:15:54.863
  • You have billionaires now
  • 00:15:54.863 --> 00:15:56.398
  • Praising nuclear, and it's a good time to do it.
  • 00:15:56.398 --> 00:15:58.666
  • There's nothing wrong.
  • 00:15:58.666 --> 00:15:59.601
  • Nuclear is about 20%, 19% of our, energy
  • 00:15:59.601 --> 00:16:03.204
  • Here in the united states.
  • 00:16:03.204 --> 00:16:04.406
  • And countries
  • 00:16:04.406 --> 00:16:05.607
  • Like france have been doing this for decades successfully.
  • 00:16:05.607 --> 00:16:08.176
  • Nuclear is not something to be afraid of.
  • 00:16:08.176 --> 00:16:10.045
  • I always joke
  • 00:16:10.045 --> 00:16:11.279
  • If you're worried about global warming, blame jane fonda.
  • 00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:14.949
  • And the reason for that is her 1979 film the china syndrome
  • 00:16:14.949 --> 00:16:18.620
  • With jack lemmon instilled an irrational fear of nuclear
  • 00:16:18.620 --> 00:16:21.856
  • For generations in america and killed the industry,
  • 00:16:21.856 --> 00:16:25.326
  • Which then led to greater co2 emissions,
  • 00:16:25.326 --> 00:16:27.996
  • If that's what you're worried about.
  • 00:16:27.996 --> 00:16:29.197
  • So it's jane fonda's fault that we have higher co2 today
  • 00:16:29.197 --> 00:16:32.867
  • Than we would have had
  • 00:16:32.867 --> 00:16:34.169
  • Had she not done her best to scare the public.
  • 00:16:34.169 --> 00:16:37.472
  • You know,
  • 00:16:37.472 --> 00:16:38.740
  • It seems that a lot of the scare tactics around climate change
  • 00:16:38.740 --> 00:16:41.176
  • Were ramped up in order
  • 00:16:41.176 --> 00:16:42.243
  • To sell consulting services and more solar panels.
  • 00:16:42.243 --> 00:16:45.447
  • Whether they worked or not.
  • 00:16:45.447 --> 00:16:47.115
  • Tell us,
  • 00:16:47.115 --> 00:16:47.949
  • What do you know about the business
  • 00:16:47.949 --> 00:16:48.917
  • Of selling these so-called climate solutions?
  • 00:16:48.917 --> 00:16:52.220
  • Yeah, the
  • 00:16:52.520 --> 00:16:53.555
  • Entire grift, if you will, of climate solutions.
  • 00:16:53.555 --> 00:16:56.024
  • It's best encapsulated with what al gore did.
  • 00:16:56.024 --> 00:16:58.193
  • If you go back to obama's first term
  • 00:16:58.193 --> 00:17:00.528
  • And i was working in the us senate environment
  • 00:17:00.528 --> 00:17:02.630
  • Public works committee while this was happening,
  • 00:17:02.630 --> 00:17:04.732
  • Al gore was around giving powerpoints right before
  • 00:17:04.732 --> 00:17:07.569
  • Obama was elected, saying,
  • 00:17:07.569 --> 00:17:09.471
  • These are companies you should be investing in,
  • 00:17:09.471 --> 00:17:11.573
  • And these are the type of things we should be doing.
  • 00:17:11.573 --> 00:17:13.341
  • And solar and wind and pouring
  • 00:17:13.341 --> 00:17:15.076
  • Built tens of billions of dollars.
  • 00:17:15.076 --> 00:17:17.078
  • Obama gets elected $85 billion,
  • 00:17:17.078 --> 00:17:20.348
  • I believe, was the initial green stimulus bill.
  • 00:17:20.348 --> 00:17:23.384
  • Turned out it went to al gore and his,
  • 00:17:23.384 --> 00:17:26.354
  • In his cohorts, cbs news or the washington post
  • 00:17:26.354 --> 00:17:29.224
  • Did an analysis showing that, up to 70% of the recipients
  • 00:17:29.224 --> 00:17:34.929
  • Were democratic donors,
  • 00:17:34.929 --> 00:17:36.364
  • The donor class or activist tied with al gore, etc..
  • 00:17:36.364 --> 00:17:40.268
  • So this was government investment
  • 00:17:40.268 --> 00:17:42.203
  • Going to essentially friends of those in power.
  • 00:17:42.203 --> 00:17:45.673
  • Now, it's not unusual in politics for that to happen.
  • 00:17:45.673 --> 00:17:48.309
  • But don't call it saving the planet.
  • 00:17:48.309 --> 00:17:50.678
  • Don't call it stopping climate change.
  • 00:17:50.678 --> 00:17:53.081
  • Don't go around and pat your back.
  • 00:17:53.081 --> 00:17:55.383
  • You know, pat yourself on the back
  • 00:17:55.383 --> 00:17:56.618
  • And act like you're virtue signaling.
  • 00:17:56.618 --> 00:17:58.486
  • That is what the scam was.
  • 00:17:58.486 --> 00:18:00.021
  • All of this
  • 00:18:00.021 --> 00:18:01.189
  • Money was a basically a wealth transfer of taxpayer money
  • 00:18:01.189 --> 00:18:04.058
  • Going to wealthy donors, who were setting up these schemes.
  • 00:18:04.058 --> 00:18:08.163
  • And there was so much money by the time biden got elected.
  • 00:18:08.163 --> 00:18:11.299
  • And i'm not making this up, pastor in california,
  • 00:18:11.299 --> 00:18:14.702
  • There were counties and municipalities
  • 00:18:14.702 --> 00:18:16.538
  • Receiving so much green energy stimulus money
  • 00:18:16.538 --> 00:18:20.508
  • That they didn't have enough, enough ways to spend it.
  • 00:18:20.508 --> 00:18:23.178
  • The the cash was piling up in their bank accounts
  • 00:18:23.178 --> 00:18:26.381
  • And they couldn't find people.
  • 00:18:26.381 --> 00:18:27.916
  • And eventually they started finding people.
  • 00:18:27.916 --> 00:18:29.684
  • People like stacey abrams got money, even having no expertise.
  • 00:18:29.684 --> 00:18:33.221
  • They would
  • 00:18:33.221 --> 00:18:34.055
  • They would have groups that essentially
  • 00:18:34.055 --> 00:18:35.890
  • Have a board of directors set up,
  • 00:18:35.890 --> 00:18:37.392
  • A solar panel company set up windmill offshore wind.
  • 00:18:37.392 --> 00:18:40.562
  • They would get tons of government money.
  • 00:18:40.562 --> 00:18:42.096
  • And guess what? oops, we didn't get the right permits.
  • 00:18:42.096 --> 00:18:44.632
  • We go bankrupt.
  • 00:18:44.632 --> 00:18:45.733
  • Then the same board of directors would
  • 00:18:45.733 --> 00:18:47.202
  • Then go set up another company and get more federal stimulus.
  • 00:18:47.202 --> 00:18:51.339
  • It was the greatest racket going for several decades.
  • 00:18:51.339 --> 00:18:54.442
  • And donald trump has done his level best.
  • 00:18:54.442 --> 00:18:56.644
  • I think we've we've suffocated out about 70% of the money.
  • 00:18:56.644 --> 00:19:00.148
  • That's still about 30% that biden allocated.
  • 00:19:00.148 --> 00:19:03.218
  • But there's not much you can do at a certain point,
  • 00:19:03.218 --> 00:19:05.186
  • A federal contract, there's a federal contract
  • 00:19:05.186 --> 00:19:07.222
  • And it's cost
  • 00:19:07.222 --> 00:19:08.456
  • More to rescind the money after it's been given or about to be
  • 00:19:08.456 --> 00:19:11.826
  • Have already been approved.
  • 00:19:11.826 --> 00:19:13.061
  • So we've done everything we can to stop it.
  • 00:19:13.061 --> 00:19:15.129
  • But it has been the greatest scam.
  • 00:19:15.129 --> 00:19:16.497
  • And by the way,
  • 00:19:16.497 --> 00:19:17.632
  • The icing on the cake and the way to understand this,
  • 00:19:17.632 --> 00:19:20.468
  • All of these literally talking $1 trillion plus just an obama
  • 00:19:20.468 --> 00:19:25.106
  • And biden stimulus, it's still solar and wind combined.
  • 00:19:25.106 --> 00:19:28.776
  • Less than 4% of our energy.
  • 00:19:28.776 --> 00:19:30.311
  • So in it less than 14% of the electrical grid. so
  • 00:19:30.311 --> 00:19:33.848
  • All of that money didn't produce anything that they claimed.
  • 00:19:33.848 --> 00:19:37.485
  • And meanwhile, 80% of our country is still fossil,
  • 00:19:37.485 --> 00:19:41.089
  • Powered by fossil fuels despite
  • 00:19:41.089 --> 00:19:43.825
  • Hundreds of millions, $1 trillion plus in wasted money.
  • 00:19:43.825 --> 00:19:47.929
  • Well, marc morano, thank you for your time today
  • 00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:51.566
  • And congratulations on getting the president's
  • 00:19:51.566 --> 00:19:53.768
  • Attention on what went on in brazil.
  • 00:19:53.768 --> 00:19:55.570
  • You saved us all on science.
  • 00:19:55.570 --> 00:19:58.106
  • Yeah, he did the most important thing
  • 00:19:58.106 --> 00:19:59.641
  • Following brazil.
  • 00:19:59.641 --> 00:20:00.708
  • He pulled us out of the 1992 un rio earth treaty.
  • 00:20:00.708 --> 00:20:04.646
  • And that is the underpinning for the whole us involvement.
  • 00:20:04.646 --> 00:20:07.448
  • So the next president will have
  • 00:20:07.448 --> 00:20:08.816
  • To submit it to the senate, according to legal analysts.
  • 00:20:08.816 --> 00:20:11.185
  • So makes it a lot harder for a future president, aoc
  • 00:20:11.185 --> 00:20:14.555
  • Or gavin newsom to get us back in to this climate mess.
  • 00:20:14.555 --> 00:20:18.226
  • I hope you're not a prophet.
  • 00:20:18.226 --> 00:20:20.795
  • Stay with us.
  • 00:20:20.795 --> 00:20:21.696
  • I'll be right back.
  • 00:20:21.696 --> 00:20:29.993
  • Thank you for spending a few minutes of your day with us.
  • 00:20:30.679 --> 00:20:33.915
  • Just a reminder, if you ever missed

  • A live episode, you can always go to aj.
  • 00:20:35.350 --> 00:20:37.585
  • Now, dot com.
  • 00:20:37.585 --> 00:20:38.953
  • There's a full archive there of all the programs.
  • 00:20:38.953 --> 00:20:41.456
  • You can watch them at your leisure if you have a favorite.
  • 00:20:41.456 --> 00:20:44.125
  • Share it with a friend.
  • 00:20:44.125 --> 00:20:45.527
  • The more the merrier.
  • 00:20:45.527 --> 00:20:47.462
  • I'm alan jackson again.
  • 00:20:47.462 --> 00:20:49.164
  • Thank you for your time
  • 00:20:49.164 --> 00:20:50.365
  • And i pray you have a wonderful evening.
  • 00:20:50.365 --> 00:20:50.365
