YOU HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING TO
CHANGE THE SYSTEM.
WELL, SPEAKING OF THE SYSTEM AND
ANOTHER AOC, ANOTHER LEFTY
WINDBAG GETTING MOCKED, CLIMATE
CHANGE HYPOCRISY.
I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF IT.
THE PRESIDENT’S CLIMATE CZAR
JOHN KERRY PUSHING BACK
EXISTENCE CLAIMS RICH
PROGRESSIVES -- AGAINST CLAIMS
RICH PROGRESSIVES DON’T PRACTICE
WHAT THEY PREACH WHEN IT COMES
TO PRIVATE PLANES.
WATCH.
>> PRIVATE AVIATION IS AN
EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING WHERE
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO PAY MORE
ATTENTION, AND -- BUT WHEN, YOU
KNOW, PEOPLE WHO GO TO DAVOS TO
THE TALK ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE
FLY PRIVATE, IT SEEMS LIKE THEY
DON’T WANT TO --
>> WELL, THEY ACTUALLY, I’VE
TALKED TO THEM ABOUT IT, THEY
OFFSET.
THEY FLY OFFSETS, THEY OFFSET,
AND THEY ARE WORKING HARDER THAN
MOST PEOPLE I KNOW TO BE ABLE TO
TRY TO AFFECT THIS TRANSITION.
KENNEDY: PEOPLE LIKE ME DON’T
FLY WITH SIMPLEUNS LIKE YOU.
WE -- SIMPLE TONS LIKE YOU.
THIS IS THE SAME GUY WHO FLEW ON
A PRIVATE JET TO COLLECT A
CLIMATE AWARD IN ICELAND
CLAIMING HE WAS FAR TOO BUZZY
AND IMPORTANT TO SAIL THERE.
I CAN’T PADDLE MY OWN CANOE TO
ICELAND.
BUT KERRY NOW ALSO CLAIMING
PRESIDENT BIDEN PLANS TO TO
SIDESTEP CONGRESS TO THE ENACT A
BUNCH OF HUGE NEW PROGRESSIVE
CLIMATE INITIATIVES.
>> THE PRESIDENT IS ISSUING
EXECUTIVE THE ORDERS, THERE’LL
BE CHANGES ON AUTOMOBILE, ON
LIGHT TRUCK, HEAVY THERE TRUCK,
HEY DUTY, A NUMBER THE OF
INITIATIVES THAT ARE BEING TAKEN
BY SATES, SOME NATIONAL -- THE
STATES, SOME NATIONAL.
SKY CITIES.
WE HAVE A ROT OF OTHER OPTIONS,
TOOLS, IF YO YOU WILL, BTHS THE
I.R.A.
KENNEDY: HE WANTS TO BEAT YOU
OVER THE HEAD WITH THE TOOLS IN
HIS TOOLKIT.
DOES RITCHIE RICH GET TO DECIDE
CAN HOW THE REST OF US SHOULD
LIVE POORLY, JASON?
>> THEY SHOULDN’T, BUT THAT’S
WHY THEY’RE PUSHING THIS,
BECAUSE THEY’RE NOT REALLY
AFFECTED.
THINK ABOUT THE WHOLE IDEA OF
BUYING CARBON OFFSENTS.
WELL, MOST OF US CONCERN YOU
HAVE SETS.
MOST OF US CAN’T DO THAT.
WE DON’T HAVE THE MONEY TO DO
THAT.
THE ENVIRONMENTALISTS ARE THEIR
OWN WORST ENEMY.
I’M AN ADVISER TO THE AMERICAN
CONSERVATION COALITION, AN
ORGANIZATION I KNOW YOU’RE
FAMILIAR WITH.
THIS IS A CONSERVATIVE GROUP
THAT SUPPORTS THE ENVIRONMENT
BECAUSE THE WAY WE LOOK AT IT IS
NOT TO CROIX BUSINESSES, TO NOT
MAKE LIFE MORE DIFFICULT THE FOR
FOLKS, BUT TO ACTUALLY SAVE THE
ENVIRONMENT.
CARBON OFFSETS CLEARLY DON’T DO
THAT.
KENNEDY: I DON’T THINK HE KNOWS
HOW THOSE OFFSETS ACTUALLY WORK.
WELL, I HAVE A BOX OF TICKETS.
THE BOX CONTAIN THING THE
TICKETS IS MADE OF GOLD,
THEREFORE, I AM CLIMATE
PROTECTED.
I HATE CARBON SO MUCH -- OF.
[LAUGHTER]
I ATE IT FOR BREAKFAST.
BUT THIS, IT’S JUST THE
PROGRESSIVE CLIMATE HERRICS OR,
I GUESS, NOT HERETICS,
BLOWHARDS, THEY’RE THE ONES WHO
ARE CANNIBALIZING THEMSELVES,
KATHERINE, BECAUSE ON ONE HAND
YOU HAVE JOHN KERRY GOING, WELL,
THE PRESIDENT IS GOING TO TAKE
HIS PEN AND SWORD, AND HE’S TO
GOING TO SAVE THE EARTH WITH HIS
GREEN SHIELD, AND THE
PRESIDENT’S, LIKE, I’M DRILLING
IN ALASKA, WHOO!
>> YEAH.
I THINK THERE’S REALLY A COUPLE
THINGS GOING ON HERE.
ONE, I ABSOLUTELY DON’T BELIEVE
THAT, YOU KNOW, JOE BIDEN IS THE
DEDICATED ENVIRONMENTALIST THAT
JOHN KERRY IS PAINTING HIM AS
AND, FRANKLY, I’M HAPPY ABOUT
THAT.
AND, SECOND, I THINK THERE IS
THIS REAL QUESTION THAT
EVERYBODY IN THE ADMINISTRATION
SEEMS VERY CHEERFULLY, TO BE
VERY CHEERFULLY IGNORING WHICH
IS DOES THE PRESIDENT HAVE THE
POWER TO DO THIS?
CAN HE DO THIS BY EXECUTIVE
ORDER?
MORE AND MORE WE SEEM TO BE
QUITE CONTENT TO SAY, WELL,
WE’LL JUST CONCERN WE’LL TRY,
AND THEN THE SUPREME COURT CAN
TELL US IT WASN’T ALLOWED WHICH
IS NOT THE WAY THAT WE SHOULD BE
DOING THINGS.
THAT IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO DO IT.
I WILL GIVE JOHN KERRY CREDIT
FOR THE FACT THAT IN THE FALL HE
KID CASUALLY SAY AT ANOTHER
CLIMATE CONFERENCE, YEAH, I
REALLY DON’T THINK THE INFLATION
REDUCTION ACT HAD ANYTHING TO DO
WITH INFLATION, BUT I LIKED THE
ENVIRONMENTAL STUFF IN IT.
KENNEDY: OF COURSE HE DID.
>> OCCASIONALLY, HE CLIFFS A
NICE HIGH QUALITY GAFFE FOR US
ALL.
KENNEDY: YEAH.
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, LIKE THE
TIKTOK BAN, THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT GETS TO PICK WINNERS
AND LOSERS.
SO THEY GET TO FIND ALL THEIR
CRONIES’ FRIENDS WHO HAVE GREEN
INITIATIVES AND COMPANIES, AND
THEY GET TO GIVE THEM BILLIONS
OF COLLARS FROM THE INFLATION --
DOLLARS FROM THE INFLATION
REDUCTION ACT.
IT’S RIDICULOUS.
BUT, MARK, I THINK IT’S
WONDERFUL THAT PEOPLE LIKE THIS
ARE SAVING THE PLANET.
ONE HYPOCRITICAL EXCURSION AT A
TIME.
>> WELL, LOOK, THAT’S ONE OF THE
WORST ANSWERS I’VE HEARD IN
TERMS OF, OH, IT’S OKAY TO TAKE
A PRIVATE PLANE TO GET AN
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARD WITH.
I MEAN, LOOK, HE SAYS THERE’S AN
OFFSET.
IF THEY TAKE E AWAY YOUR GAS
STOVE, CAN YOU SAY, NO, I’M
GOING TO KEEP IT, BUT I’M GOING
TO LOWER MY THERMOSTAT.
[LAUGHTER]
A DEGREE, I HAVE AN OFFSET.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
THEY’RE NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU AN
OFFSET.
SO IT’S LUDICROUS THAT HE WOULD
BE DEFENDING IT THAT WAY BECAUSE
HE IS TELLING EVERYBODY YOU HAVE
TO GET RID OF YOUR GAS CAR, UP
TO GET RID OF MAYBE YOUR GAS
STOVE, YOU KNOW, IF YOU’RE IN A
DEVELOPED COUNTRY, YOU MAY NOT
BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF POVERTY
BECAUSE YOU WON’T HAVE THE LOW
COST ENERGY.
HE IS ASKING HUNDREDS AND
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
TO MAKE SACRIFICES, AND HE SURE
IS NOT SETTING THAT EXAMPLE
HIMSELF.
KENNEDY: NO WAY!
HE’S NEVER GOING TO HAVE TO LIVE
IN AUSTERITY, BUT HE’S TELLING
THE REST OF US WE WILL HAVE TO.
NO MORE STEAKS, NO MORE CARS, NO
MORE GAS STOVES, NO MORE
SKYSCRAPERS.
THE LIST GETS MORE AND MORE
EXTREME, AND FEWER AND FEWER
PEOPLE ARE ONBOARD WITH IT
BECAUSE THEY’RE, LIKE, THERE HAS
TO BE A BETTER WAY.
TO JASON’S POINT, MAYBE PUT
CONSERVATIVES IN CHARGE OF
CONSERVATION BECAUSE LEAST THE
THEY’RE LOOKING OUT FOR THE
ENVIRONMENT AND BUSINESS
