Free Markets Are the KEY To Stopping Climate Change

(00:00.92)

Capitalism and the environment. Yeah, that’s part of the left religion out there that somehow capitalism, capitalism is the problem when it comes to the environment and whether it be waste, whether it be fossil fuels, whether it be toxic waste dumps, whether it be plastics, a myriad of things. They’re gonna blame it on greed and

Capitalism is a reason why the environment is so terrible, is so bad. No. No, capitalism, capitalism, when conducted properly, is the cure for the environment. It’s the answer. Again, I this is I talked about this probably 10, 15 years ago on the program at some point. Reason I’m bringing it up today. Talk about the.

Lee Zeldin is going to be Donald Trump’s pick for the Environmental Protection Agency. And I think it’s a good one. He wants to, they said he will ensure fair and swift deregulatory decisions that will be enacted in a way to unleash the power of American businesses while at the same time maintaining the highest environmental standards, including the cleanest air and water on the planet.

He will set new standards on environmental review and maintenance that will allow the United States to grow in a healthy, well-structured way. That’s the statement. Okay. Let’s get back to how capitalism can save the environment. Does anybody like to live in filth? Huh? That’s the thing about it. Do rich people decide

to move to shitty neighborhoods that are disgusting, that have bad water, that’s something that they wanna do? No.

(02:07.404)

I’ve been able to travel many places around the globe and you could see for yourself you can go online you could take a look look at videos look take a look at videos of the water in Bangladesh and some of these areas in the garbage yeah you all the problems we can talk about plastics and you know where that all comes from right poor areas I’ve talked about that

Sam Kinison bit from the 1980s where he was all the it was USA for Africa and we are the world and you know it make a long story short is a great comedic skit that I could never do justice to his basic point is to stop stop sending these people food stop sending them money send them u-hauls and tell them to move where the food is in essence the same thing

teach people to make money, provide them the opportunities to go out there and build wealth. That solves all of the environmental problems. Again, we need to have sensible regulations. We live right now in a country

a country that is a bureaucratic disaster. It is a bureaucratic mess. We need to have people, regulators, and I want tough regulators, but you want regulators that are going to work. Rather than say no a thousand different ways and create a myriad of different nonsensical loopholes, why not say, okay, this is a project, this is what our concerns are,

Let’s figure out a way to make this work where it is going to be phenomenal for the environment, where it’s going to help everyone. You cannot have knee-jerk reactions to pseudoscience studies or whatever the fad is at that point in time. Take a good hard look at what’s taking place in Europe right now. You want to talk about self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

(04:31.242)

Okay, that’s what Europe did to itself with its stupid. call it green, green energy policies. How did that work out? How is it working out right now where your people are now getting fired, getting laid off for the first time ever? Companies can’t stay in business not only because you are forcing them to make cars that people don’t want, but the energy costs are too high.

You don’t think that’s a factor in doing business? You shut down your nuclear power plants for what? For windmills? For solar? To rely on Russia? How stupid can you be?

You know, a great another way of looking at it as well too. Travel around this country. Go to cities, go to liberal cities. Go to major cities here in this country that are run by the left. that they’re all for the environment, right?

It’s flipping embarrassing. It really is. I, you know, flying into New York City, flying into New York City or coming home from New York this past summer, I came back from vacation and, you know, taking taking the ride from Athens to Athens Airport in Greece. Beautiful ride. Gorgeous. OK, compare it to going from JFK.

to home.

(06:09.099)

It’s.

coming out of J-F, it’s garbage everywhere, sides of the streets, nobody’s cleaning up. This is a liberal city, right?

Libra left wing city.

You guys can’t even can’t pick up your garbage It’s disgusting it’s York There every stick ever take a look fly in Oakland San Francisco, it’s it’s embarrassing

It’s embarrassing. all again, I last I talked about being a good steward. We need to be good stewards of the environment. And that can be done where guess what? Capitalism can work and the rising tide can lift all boats and we can build more wealth. The world needs energy. World needs energy and we can do it. We’re better equipped than anyone else.

(07:15.374)

in the entire world for crying out loud. I laughed at that. No more gas and no more this. Are you out of your mind?

Again, we have respect for individuals here in the United States. Do you think they have that type of respect for individuals in places like China? Damn. You’ve seen a smog?

I mean, compare the air here in the United States, a place, I mean, are you kidding me? Isn’t that what we want everywhere? That’s not what we need to show people. You know, you get this ridiculous climate conference that’s taken place right now. is it? Azerbaijan. It’s Azerbaijan. The COP29, right? Is that what they’re calling it? It’s COP29. It’s funny. It was this group.

group. Well, it was just fake group that was basically they recorded the entire thing. They got in contact with the one of the the heads of Azerbaijan in their his name is Elner Sultan of he’s the deputy energy mister minister. And he’s the chief chief of the whole climate conference that’s taken place. He was recorded.

recorded discussing investment opportunities there for their oil and gas and developing it and Azerbaijan. All of these people are saying, and no, yeah, we’re going all towards renewables. They’re all a bunch of crooks and criminals. And you’re looking to these people that continue to line their pockets.

(09:03.512)

You see, these places around the globe, yeah, they have all of that stuff, but they’re controlled by, by what? They’re called, you know, basically, you know, the richest people in world.

Okay, they’re controlling all of these things. These aren’t these or crats, whatever you want to call them. Okay.

They control these massive deposits there. they’ll have their conferences and all that stuff, but come on. But they’re selling out. See, we don’t do things that way here in this country. We don’t. Just be honest, we don’t. We can all, you want to go out and buy stock in an oil company, oil service company, you can have ownership in all of these things. We do a better job than anywhere else. Does that mean that we have?

Ways that we need to improve absolutely, but that’s something we should always be looking to do

always be looking to do. Again, who wants to live in filth? Who in the world wants to live in filth? And again, as far as repercussions for the evil people out there that look to cut corners, that look to pollute, yeah, they need to be dealt with, okay? To me, it’s crime against

(10:30.412)

humanity. Do we need regulations? Apple absolutely do we need regulations. Do they need to be sensible? Yeah, they do. Can we do it better than anyone else? Damn straight. Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
