=== Saviors of the World? (06:34) ===

[00:00:00]  But they think so highly of themselves.
[00:00:02]  Oh, as I pointed out in the beginning of the show, they have a savior self-image.
[00:00:09]  They're always saving the world.
[00:00:11]  You realize that?
[00:00:13]  Without the left, we would all be dead.
[00:00:16]  They're saving the world from the existential threat of carbon emissions.
[00:00:21]  They're saving the world through...
[00:00:25]  What was the other?
[00:00:25]  I gave a second example.
[00:00:27]  It was...
[00:00:28]  Where they're saving the world.
[00:00:32]  I'll remember it, but it's a constant, it's a theme of all of their work.
[00:00:41]  Well, I mean, they're just, it's just, that's the language that they use, and they have the language of it.
[00:00:50]  It's who will come, and they look for saviors.
[00:00:56]  Barack Obama, John F. Kennedy.
[00:00:58]  I mean, it is...
[00:00:59]  We don't...
[00:01:00]  Conservatives don't look for saviors.
[00:01:01]  They just...
[00:01:02]  See, the conservatives have a terrible problem.
[00:01:05]  I included.
[00:01:06]  We just want to be left alone.
[00:01:08]  We love freedom.
[00:01:10]  Government should leave me alone as much as possible.
[00:01:13]  There's an article that'll come back to the New York Times endorsement.
[00:01:16]  In the meantime, you try to guess.
[00:01:19]  There's an article in the New York Times about how all the companies, the car companies, are making electric cars at staggering sums of investment money.
[00:01:29]  But nobody's buying them.
[00:01:31]  The only one being bought is Tesla.
[00:01:35]  That's the electric car.
[00:01:37]  If people buy an electric car, that's the one they buy.
[00:01:39]  I don't have an electric car.
[00:01:42]  I have no desire for an electric car.
[00:01:44]  I get it that people love their Teslas.
[00:01:46]  I totally understand it.
[00:01:47]  But I don't.
[00:01:49]  I like my gas-driven fossil fuel car.
[00:01:52]  I love it.
[00:01:54]  Actually, SUV. I just love it.
[00:01:59]  I love being able to stop anywhere I want for five minutes, fill my car for 400 miles.
[00:02:07]  I really do like that.
[00:02:08]  Most Americans like that, too.
[00:02:11]  That's it.
[00:02:12]  They don't want to charge their car every night.
[00:02:14]  They don't want to run 200 to 300 miles maximum and then find a place and then have lunch while it's being refilled if they find a place to do it.
[00:02:22]  That's the article about it.
[00:02:25]  New York Times is pro-electric cars, but it wrote an article about what's happening.
[00:02:29]  Why are the companies making things people don't want?
[00:02:33]  All right?
[00:02:34]  I want you, my listener, to answer in your mind.
[00:02:38]  Or tell who's ever with you in the car or with you in your home or office.
[00:02:42]  I want you to answer the question.
[00:02:45]  Why would companies go almost broke spending on electric cars that nobody is buying?
[00:02:53]  Okay, and the answer is the government is forcing them.
[00:03:06]  Thank you.
[00:03:07]  It is an amazing thing to me that Americans, the people who sing Land of the Free and Home of the Brave, that people who sing that have given up their freedom.
[00:03:22]  Who the hell is the government to mandate what my company produces?
[00:03:29]  Who the hell are you?
[00:03:31]  If you can't convince Americans that we're about to die within 12 years, every 12 years is the announcement that we have 12 years.
[00:03:39]  It's amazing.
[00:03:40]  Never 11, not 13. We have 12 years to exist.
[00:03:45]  But nothing's happened, folks.
[00:03:46]  I don't care.
[00:03:47]  It's a lie.
[00:03:49]  If you look at the last decade, more people have lived longer and healthier than at any time in the history of Earth.
[00:03:57]  It's a gigantic lie, all of these carbon refugees.
[00:04:01]  It's all lies.
[00:04:03]  Gigantic, enormous, repeated lies.
[00:04:07]  People are healthier.
[00:04:08]  There are fewer wars than almost ever, on the wars almost ever, and the healthier ever.
[00:04:15]  Thanks to capitalism, by the way.
[00:04:20]  We bathe in lies.
[00:04:22]  Bathe in them.
[00:04:23]  Not the president's lies.
[00:04:24]  The left's lies.
[00:04:27]  Who the hell is the government to tell a company you have to do X or Y? But the left, for the left, of course they'll tell.
[00:04:40]  Liberty and truth are not their values.
[00:04:44]  Social progress, transformation, change.
[00:04:50]  Those are their values.
[00:04:54]  I feel for the car makers.
[00:04:59]  They are forced by law to lose vast sums of money, which of course will mean fewer people employed.
[00:05:06]  People suffer because of all of these things.
[00:05:09]  What is happening in Germany today because of energy?
[00:05:12]  Because Angela Merkel is Ms. Emotion?
[00:05:14]  Oh, Fukushima, no more nuclear power for Germany.
[00:05:19]  So now they don't have enough power?
[00:05:21]  They're using coal more than ever in Germany because she got rid of nuclear power.
[00:05:27]  It's all a fraud.
[00:05:29]  The whole carbon thing is a fraud because they don't advocate nuclear power.
[00:05:32]  I say this almost every day.
[00:05:35]  I know they're either hysterics, which they are, or liars, which they are also.
[00:05:40]  But mostly hysterics.
[00:05:42]  They don't think rationally.
[00:05:45]  You really believe the world is coming to an end?
[00:05:48]  Use nuclear power.
[00:05:49]  That's as clean as it gets.
[00:05:52]  And you're not killing millions of birds.
[00:05:54]  I'm not joking about the birds issue.
[00:05:56]  This is not a joke.
[00:05:58]  The number of birds being killed by turbines.
[00:06:00]  What was the story off the United Kingdom's coast?
[00:06:04]  It was a staggering number of birds.
[00:06:07]  I mean...
[00:06:08]  The seabirds, yeah.
[00:06:11]  They may go extinct.
[00:06:13]  I mean, it's amazing what we have done for the...
[00:06:15]  What was the name of that idiotic fish?

=== Obviously Endorsing Women (02:13) ===

[00:06:19]  Delta smelt!
[00:06:23]  You know, I ordered a Delta smelt at the sushi bar I was at the other day, and the guy didn't have it anymore.
[00:06:30]  Nothing like a Delta smelt cut roll, I gotta tell you.
[00:06:36]  Yep, a little wasabi.
[00:06:39]  You're in heaven, man.
[00:06:43]  But only the Delta smelt.
[00:06:47]  No other smelt.
[00:06:52]  1-8 Prager 776. So who did the New York Times endorse?
[00:06:56]  I had all this time to think, my dear listeners.
[00:07:00]  And the answer is the only two women remaining.
[00:07:05]  They've actually endorsed two candidates.
[00:07:09]  Which is so sexist.
[00:07:11]  It's like, you know, men are not satisfied with one woman.
[00:07:14]  The whole thing reeks of male sexuality.
[00:07:20]  I want two women.
[00:07:24]  Sorry about that.
[00:07:27]  Got a 12-year-old terrific kid in the studio.
[00:07:31]  I'll move on.
[00:07:33]  His dad's here.
[00:07:35]  Thank God he's smiling.
[00:07:37]  Another man would have shot me.
[00:07:42]  Yep, Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren.
[00:07:46]  They're so transparent at the New York Times that it's laughable.
[00:07:51]  Well, we're...
[00:07:53]  Obviously, we're only going to endorse a woman.
[00:07:56]  Obviously.
[00:07:57]  I mean, you know, come on, please.
[00:08:00]  We're going to shatter the glass ceiling.
[00:08:03]  But then they have the problem, well, but there are two women.
[00:08:06]  Ah, so we'll endorse them both.
[00:08:08]  If you're a female, by the way, you know, have they checked?
[00:08:12]  Have they both, Senator Klobuchar and Senator Warren, have they announced their preferred pronouns?
[00:08:18]  How does the New York Times know?
[00:08:21]  I think they should do that at the Democratic debates now.
[00:08:25]  Announce their names and their preferred pronouns.
[00:08:28]  You have to do it at college.
[00:08:29]  Why should you have to do it at a Democratic debate?
