good evening and welcome to tucker
[1]
carlson tonight happy monday well the
[3]
green new deal has come believe it or
[5]
not to the state of texas
[7]
and we're here with the report how's it
[8]
working out so far well the good news
[11]
is all that alternative energy seems to
[13]
have had a remarkable effect on the
[15]
climate as intended
[17]
last night parts of texas got to
[19]
temperatures
[20]
that we see in alaska in fact they were
[22]
the same as they were in alaska
[24]
so global warming is no longer a
[26]
pressing concern
[27]
in houston we've solved that problem the
[30]
bad news is they don't have electricity
[32]
the windmills froze so the power grid
[34]
failed millions of texans woke up to
[36]
soil their water because with no
[37]
electricity it couldn't be purified
[40]
the ironically named electric
[42]
reliability council of texas which
[44]
oversees the grid
[45]
had no solution to any of this they
[47]
simply told people to stop using so much
[48]
power to keep warm
[50]
so in houston hundreds of shivering
[52]
texans headed to the civic center like
[54]
refugees to keep from freezing to death
[56]
some people in texas almost certainly
[58]
did freeze to death today that's what
[59]
happens when it gets that cold
[61]
later this week we'll learn just how
[62]
many as they tried to keep warm with
[64]
jury rigged heaters and barbecues and
[66]
car exhaust
[67]
that happens every time when the power
[69]
goes out
[70]
even advanced societies become primitive
[72]
and dangerous
[73]
people die we've seen it happen
[76]
repeatedly in california for years now
[78]
rolling blackouts in a purportedly first
[80]
world state that is slipping steadily
[82]
into chaos
[83]
but in texas who saw that coming and not
[86]
just because texas is mostly republican
[89]
if there's one thing you would think
[91]
texas would be able to do
[92]
is keep the lights on most electricity
[95]
comes from natural gas and texas
[97]
produces more of that than any place on
[99]
the continent
[100]
there are huge natural gas deposits all
[102]
over texas
[103]
texas is an oil and gas state famously
[106]
running out of energy
[107]
in texas is like starving to death at
[109]
the grocery store
[110]
you can only do it on purpose and texas
[113]
did
[115]
rather than celebrate and benefit from
[117]
their state's vast natural resources
[119]
politicians took the fashionable route
[121]
and became recklessly reliant on
[123]
so-called alternative energy
[125]
meaning windmills 15 years ago there are
[128]
virtually no wind farms in texas
[130]
last year roughly a quarter of all
[132]
electricity generated
[133]
in the state came from wind local
[136]
politicians were pleased by this they
[137]
bragged about it like there was
[138]
something virtuous
[140]
about destroying the landscape and
[142]
degrading the power grid
[145]
just last week governor greg abbott
[147]
proudly accepted something called the
[148]
wind leadership award given with
[150]
gratitude by a company getting rich from
[152]
green energy
[154]
so it was all working great until the
[156]
day it got cold outside
[157]
the windmills failed like the silly
[159]
fashion accessories they are
[161]
and people in texas died a lot more of
[163]
them then died at the capitol on january
[165]
6th by the way just for reference
[168]
now we're telling you all this not to
[169]
beat up on the state of texas it's a
[171]
great state actually
[173]
but to give you some sense about what's
[175]
about to happen to you to every state
[177]
and we're not speculating on that here's
[179]
the new president explaining his plan
[182]
in my view we've already waited too long
[184]
to deal with this climate crisis
[186]
we can't wait any longer that's why i'm
[189]
signing today an
[190]
executive order to supercharge our
[191]
administration's ambitious plan
[194]
to confront the existential threat of
[196]
climate change that is an existential
[198]
threat
[200]
just reading the script climate crisis
[202]
existential threat ambitious plan
[205]
you hear those phrases a lot and you'll
[207]
notice that they are all suspiciously
[209]
non-precise so what do they mean for you
[212]
well they mean higher energy prices for
[214]
starters gas is already up
[216]
in case you haven't noticed electricity
[218]
will follow
[220]
higher costs hurt the weakest inflation
[222]
always does
[223]
but it's worse than that green energy
[226]
inevitably means
[227]
blackouts and someday that may change as
[230]
technology progresses
[231]
but as of right now in the current state
[233]
of technology that is true
[235]
green energy means a less reliable power
[238]
grid
[239]
period it means failures like the ones
[241]
we're seeing now in texas
[243]
that's not a talking point it's not a
[245]
political slow say it
[246]
again that is true it's science so of
[249]
course they're denying it
[251]
here's our new climate czar taking a
[253]
quick break from spewing carbon in his
[254]
private jet
[255]
to lecture the rest of us about a topic
[257]
he personally knows nothing about
[259]
private sector jobs and how more
[261]
windmills are going to generate
[263]
tons of them and the president of the
[265]
united states
[267]
has expressed in every comment he has
[269]
made about
[270]
climate the need to
[274]
grow the new jobs that pay better that
[276]
are cleaner that i mean
[278]
you know you look at the consequences of
[279]
black lung for a minor for instance and
[281]
measure that
[282]
against the fastest growing job in the
[283]
united states before cobit
[285]
was solar power technician similarly
[289]
uh you have uh the second fastest
[292]
growing job pre-coveted
[293]
was wind turbine technician this is
[296]
happening
[298]
this is happening so hear
[302]
us please america's most mistreated
[304]
working class john kerry
[305]
has a plan for you settle down john
[308]
kerry's here
[309]
now the old plan you'll remember was
[310]
coding they were going to learn to code
[313]
all the guys in pickup trucks were going
[315]
to run the internet
[316]
after we sent their jobs to china that
[318]
was the plan learned to code
[320]
guys in t-shirts in the end of course we
[324]
just imported people from china to code
[326]
so that didn't actually happen but john
[328]
kerry has another idea
[329]
high school educated rural people are
[331]
going to be
[332]
wind turbine technicians so what they
[335]
used to do with transmissions whatever
[337]
it is that
[338]
was they're going to do with windmills
[341]
put bearings in them or lube them or
[343]
something
[344]
so everybody wins now it's possible that
[347]
john kerry actually believes that maybe
[349]
he's never been within 20 feet of a wind
[351]
turbine possible
[353]
he definitely doesn't live near one they
[355]
don't have wind farms in
[357]
aspen or martha's vineyard and they're
[358]
not getting them john kerry himself
[361]
once fought to keep wind farms out of
[363]
sight of his summer house on nantucket
[366]
that's hypocritical you might say yeah
[368]
obviously but it's not surprising
[371]
people who support wind farms as a rule
[374]
live very far from wind farms people who
[377]
live
[377]
near wind farms have a totally different
[380]
view
[380]
and why wouldn't they how would you like
[382]
a massive power plant in your backyard
[385]
humming and buzzing and chopping up
[386]
birds that's what a wind turbine is
[389]
if you're ever in rural america go see
[391]
one for yourself you'll be
[393]
shocked by how awful it is once you get
[395]
up close your first thought may be
[397]
this is supposed to be good for the
[399]
environment
[401]
wind farms are one of those ideas you
[402]
can only support if you don't know too
[404]
much about them
[406]
and maybe that's why there's never been
[407]
mass popular support for them
[409]
no large group of citizens has ever
[411]
demanded that some goldman sachs-backed
[413]
company destroy the natural environment
[415]
with chinese made windmills that don't
[418]
work when it's cold out
[420]
wait more expensive and much less
[423]
reliable
[424]
ugly inefficient and made by people who
[426]
hate us and we can kill endangered
[428]
species
[429]
i'd like some of that in fact make it a
[430]
double
[432]
no one anywhere has ever said that but
[434]
it doesn't matter
[435]
because green energy is the ultimate
[437]
inside game a tiny number of people
[439]
profit from it from government subsidies
[441]
and regulated prices
[442]
everyone else gets a moral lecture about
[444]
climate change
[445]
and anyone who complains about any of it
[447]
gets called a nazi by cory booker
[449]
watch there's a lot of people now that
[451]
are blowing back on the green new deal
[453]
they're like oh it's impractical oh it's
[455]
too expensive
[456]
oh it's all of this if we used to govern
[459]
our dreams that way we would have never
[461]
gone to the moon
[462]
and when the planet has been in peril in
[464]
the past
[465]
who came forward to save earth
[469]
from the scourge of nazi and
[470]
totalitarian regimes we
[472]
came forward oh it's impractical
[476]
mocks a guy who's literally never had a
[478]
job
[480]
except your windmills bigots
[483]
you hear that a lot you're about to hear
[484]
it a whole lot more
[486]
the problem is that demagogues like cory
[488]
booker have no
[489]
earthly idea what a wind farm is they
[492]
don't know how to run a power grid
[494]
or anything else for that matter they
[496]
talk they brag
[498]
but they don't build anything much less
[500]
fix or maintain it
[501]
because they can't they have no skills
[505]
and if you don't believe that take a
[507]
look at what they have done to our
[508]
cities
[509]
not a single major american city is
[512]
prettier or more functional than it was
[514]
in 1950 70 years ago
[517]
the parks that previous generations so
[519]
lovingly built
[520]
are filled with vagrants and junkies the
[523]
monuments they constructed are covered
[525]
with spray paint
[526]
public transportation is a disgrace it's
[528]
filthy the streets are dangerous
[530]
are you really surprised that cory
[532]
booker was once the mayor of newark
[534]
new jersey you shouldn't be cory booker
[536]
couldn't fix your ice maker
[538]
much less understand your wind farm none
[540]
of these people can't
[542]
it's bad enough that they control the
[543]
sociology department over at your local
[545]
community college
[546]
but the power grid no way they can't get
[548]
within
[549]
a hundred yards of it
