look who's here kt mcfarland trump's
former national security advisor she
knows a lot about washington
you know here's the thing i want to talk
to you about kt by the way it's great to
see you
okay biden and john kerry they want the
u.s to double down on climate change
they applaud china
they're okay with china's climate change
plans but harvard university
and boston university saying the world's
worst polluter is faking its pollution
data what do you make of that story
oh nobody's nobody's at all surprised i
mean the chinese have been faking their
their emissions standards
data for a long time and even when you
look at what they say they're going to
do their pledges
there's nothing there it's like blue
smoke and mirrors it's well we're going
to try by
2060 40 years from now
they're going to be carbon neutral or
maybe in a decade we're going to stop
building the coal plants that we are by
the way building at an enormous clip
right now
the chinese understand that for the
radical left
and kerry and biden and the democrats in
power
that climate change has become a
religion and they become
zealots and they don't really want to
look at the facts they don't really want
to look at the evidence
they just want to pursue this agenda and
so the chinese are
you know they're thrilled because
they're getting america to pledge to
really stop
our economic prosperity so that china
can surpass the united states
economically
um i i'll give you an example i mean i
know a friend of mine who
builds internationally and builds energy
companies internationally
and he said here's what happens in china
they build these coal plants
and they have they put a lot of money
into the filters that make clean coal
and so when they're inspected they're
the filters are on and so it looks like
they're not polluting they've really
reduced their emissions the minute the
inspectors leave
they turn the filters off and then
produce electricity and generate
electricity much cheaper yeah well
they're on a big belted road push to
dominate world infrastructure they're
firing away
on coal plants but and then you have
john kerry saying you know what
you're going to lose your oil and gas
job u.s worker you can go
make solar panels and president biden
today said
these uh oil and gas workers should find
green energy jobs where they lit
live but you know they can say that when
they're on u.s
government paid for salaries you know
what i mean you know the other thing too
is
kt you know this this infrastructure
green new deal is loaded with
boondoggles and slush funds
who were the crony capitalists close to
john kerry going to make a lot of money
off of this besides china
well exactly i mean this is if you look
if you look at the green new deal if you
look at all the bailout programs and the
investment in the infrastructure
it's not what they're investing in
they're investing in crony capitalist
deals
for people under the guise of investing
in america's future
and a lot of it is the green new deal
which we can't afford we're not even
sure
works and is going to hamstring american
economic development
for a decade for probably for a
generation but these p
they don't care about jobs they don't
care about the american economic growth
they don't seem to care about the rise
of china
at our expense but it's all about this
sort of zealotry
on the green new deal that they're
somehow going to just to solve the
prices of the planet
what they don't even look at though is
that china's already
at double the rate of emissions that we
are and we can do all these things that
they're proposing
and it really will be a drop in the
bucket unless china does something about
it and china doesn't have any intention
of it
yeah and the other thing too is i think
that should read 10.7 tons for the u.s
but in that
full screen we'll check it though
natural gas the other thing too is
they're getting rid of natural gas jobs
here's a conundrum and you know the flip
here is that natural gas fires and
powers utilities
that charge electric cars they're
pushing banks to defund oil and gas jobs
they're killing the keystone pipeline
you know what i mean so but they're
doing all that and then moving toward a
policy that will benefit china because
china dominates green energy
we don't get it no and it really and
again it's zealotry
there's not logic to it i mean for
example the united states because of
fracking
we've been able to replace because it's
economically uh feasible
we've been able to replace coal and oil
with natural gas which is much cleaner
so we are
already reducing our emissions because
of fracking
and yet the biden administration they're
against fracking so they're going to
actually put us in a position
where it's more difficult for the united
states to reduce emissions
you know here's the thing that really
bothers me i was i participated in a
webinar this morning liz with the
chinese foreign minister
and he basically said america stick out
get your nose out of chai
out of taiwan out of hong kong and the
uyghurs you have no right to criticize
us on our domestic affairs
and then he had a kicker and he said if
you expect progress
on climate change then you really stick
your nose out of those topics
huh well we're going to stay on that
with you kt mcfarland thanks for that
insight there
you always have great information it's
good to see you kt come back soon have a
good weekend still ahead
