Dennis Prager Show - Support For Climate Change Is Declining Aired: 2024-05-10 Duration: 06:58 === Bill Gates and Farmland (04:41) === [00:00:00] That the number of Americans who see this as a very serious problem is declining. [00:00:08] That's good. [00:00:09] Good thing. [00:00:11] So talking to you about Bill Gates and other sick, rich people. [00:00:16] Why is Bill Gates, isn't he buying up vast amounts of land in the United States? [00:00:22] He's the largest owner of farmland? [00:00:26] Maybe in the world, as an individual. [00:00:29] Yeah. [00:00:30] And he has very sick ideas. [00:00:34] So, if Bill Gates made $200,000 a year, he would be irrelevant, obviously. [00:00:41] His entire relevance is what he has done with his money. [00:00:46] And on the left, you're adulated if you have a lot of money. [00:00:51] It's really ironic, the people who... [00:00:56] Loathe capitalism and materialism and consumerism. [00:01:01] Worship the wealthy. [00:01:05] If you have wealthy... [00:01:08] What is the famous line in Fiddler on the Roof? [00:01:13] Oh yes, if I were a rich man. [00:01:15] That's right, that's the whole song. [00:01:16] It's the most famous song from Fiddler on the Roof. [00:01:19] If I were a rich man. [00:01:21] Let me give you the... [00:01:22] I'm going to get the lyrics because... [00:01:26] That's perfect on what I'm talking about. [00:01:35] Oh, Lord, you made many, many, many poor people. [00:01:39] I realize, of course, it's no shame to be poor, but it's no great honor either. [00:01:43] So what would have been so terrible if I had a small fortune? [00:01:47] If I were a rich man. [00:01:49] All day long I'd bitty-bitty bum. [00:01:52] If I were a wealthy man, I wouldn't have to work hard. [00:01:56] if I were a bitty-bitty... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... [00:02:15] ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... ...and I would like to see... [00:02:33] ...so let me read to you... [00:02:41] Okay, thank you, Sean. [00:02:44] So here is a line from this, which is perfect. [00:02:51] Okay? [00:02:53] The most important men in town would come to fawn on me. [00:02:58] They would ask me to advise them like a Solomon of the Wise. [00:03:04] Right? [00:03:06] And it won't make one bit of difference. [00:03:09] If I answer right or wrong, when you're rich, they really think you know. [00:03:15] Bill Gates is a moron. [00:03:17] He's a bona fide moron. [00:03:19] The man is as shallow as they get. [00:03:22] No one would give a hoot about what he thought about anything. [00:03:26] No one would read anything he wrote if he weren't so rich. [00:03:30] And the same holds true for almost all of these people on the left who have billions of dollars. [00:03:37] And ruin society with their money. [00:03:41] Because they're bored and they want to make a difference. [00:03:45] Why is he buying all that farmland? [00:03:48] Why is he the biggest farmland owner in America? [00:03:51] And probably the world. [00:03:54] But the other thing that I think about is the staggering... [00:03:58] His home. [00:03:59] I mean, it's like a... [00:04:01] I don't know. [00:04:03] It's a camp. [00:04:04] So as I said, I have been with billionaires, and you would not know it. [00:04:14] If you had dinner with some of the billionaires that I have had dinner with, you would think they're well-off, but you would never think they're a billionaire. [00:04:25] Because that's not what defines them. === Fascinating Poll: The Super Wealthy on the Left (02:32) === [00:04:29] Usually, they have a religious commitment. [00:04:32] Not always. [00:04:33] And so they understand. [00:04:35] They're lucky. [00:04:37] They might use it for good. [00:04:39] Of course, Bill Gates thinks he's doing good. [00:04:41] I don't know what good he thinks he's doing, I guess, climate change. [00:04:47] Anyway, that's some speculation on the super wealthy on the left. [00:04:52] So anyway, this poll is fascinating to me because... [00:05:00] If it's true, this is a big deal. [00:05:02] The damage that they're doing is the issue. [00:05:04] I don't care that they cry wolf. [00:05:06] I care about the damage that they do. [00:05:09] To use Greta Thunberg as sort of your spokesman, it's almost cruel. [00:05:16] She's a disturbed young woman. [00:05:20] To think that people take seriously what she says? [00:05:27] Among young people between the ages of 18 and those who see climate change as a very serious problem has fallen. [00:05:37] Oh, it doesn't as usual. [00:05:39] The number of things I read, it's not just typos. [00:05:44] Do you have this open? [00:05:46] Read this sentence, among young people. [00:05:51] Among young people between the ages of 18 and... [00:05:58] No. [00:06:00] Between 18 and what? [00:06:02] It doesn't give another age. [00:06:06] The number of things that are written that are not read again, I get ad copy. [00:06:14] It is a rare, rare one sheet of paper that does not have some errors in it. [00:06:23] Is it fair to say that the pursuit of excellence has declined in the society? [00:06:30] I don't want to overstate things, so I challenge myself. [00:06:34] Am I generalizing incorrectly? [00:06:38] I'm pro-generalization, but it has to be correct. [00:06:42] You would say plummeted. [00:06:44] Okay, that was Sean. [00:06:50] Anyway... [00:06:51] Those who see climate change, a very serious problem, has fallen to 50%. [00:06:55] Alright, that's good.
