a million years ago we had more CO2? Does that make sense to you? Does that sound logical to you that a million years ago there was more CO2 and the world was thriving therefore the current level of CO2 is not dangerous? You know that's not logical, right?

Even Thomas Massie was making this case and I was cringing because Massie is sort of my standard for good behavior. You know he's like the standard for a rational scientific approach. But I saw him actually in a video arguing that CO2 was much higher, you know like a thousand parts per million instead of 400 in the distant past.

Does it — do you all know what's wrong with that argument now? John Kerry tried to defuse it by saying this but people weren't here. You know humans weren't here. That's a terrible, terrible defense. Would you like to hear the good argument and the good defense? Well there's no good argument. There's no good argument that says a million years ago the CO2 was higher therefore it's not a problem today. There's no connecting logic to that.

Do you know why? Because everything was different a million years ago, right? The brightness of the sun was different. The composition of the atmosphere was different. Everything was different. So if everything's different a high level of CO2 may have been no problem at all. Maybe it was no problem. So John Kerry's correct answer should have been not there were no humans. Because what is the — obviously you say to there were no humans. We were teeming with life. There was life all over the planet. There was probably more life on the planet then than there is now because of the extinction of species.

So it's a terrible charge. You know Massie's claim that it's meaningful that there was more CO2 in the distant past, it is just not meaningful. It's not. Because all the other variables were also different. So it may be that you needed more CO2 in the past because the sun wasn't as warm, right? That would be a positive CO2 because it was keeping you warm when the sun wasn't doing its job.

But now this is just an example. I'm not making a claim about the sun. I'm using this as an example. But suppose the sun got a little warmer in a million years. Well then you better not have all that CO2, right? So the right answer is all the other variables were different. You can't compare the past.

Why is it that neither of them could get that right? And let me check. 100 of you agree, right? If I convinced 100 of you that I'm right about this I think it's easy. I mean the argument is so plain and simple. No? All right, if you disagree give me one sentence of disagreement. Go. The one sentence why what I said is wrong. Why is the CO2 from a million years ago relevant?

Okay, you all got quiet. When I had to say you all got quiet, didn't you?

Here's the best argument I have for the other side. Is this the best one? Quote, you're vaccinated. Oh well. And then there's always somebody in the comments who's blaming it on the Jews. I assume that's satire. All right, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt. All right, the benefit of the doubt that that was satire, right? I don't want to say that in the comments otherwise. I don't want to say this every day either, right?

Can you maybe not do anti-semitic things in the comments? Like maybe that's just not cool. How about a lot less of that, huh? So you know, free speech, fine, but it doesn't belong everywhere. It's not satire.

Let me take a break here. Let me take a break.

So you got a group of people in the world who everybody knows are unusually successful. Let's call them Ashkenazis. And these Ashkenazis are really good at going to school and getting advanced degrees. And with their advanced degrees they have lots of opportunities, especially at the higher levels of business and society. So they take their better degrees and they start doing really well.

So well that they look at what would be the best industry to be in if you could be in any industry. So these Ashkenazis that I'm talking about are so well trained, they've got such good educations that they could be in tech, they could be in government, they could be in media. Really they could just call their shots.

And if you were in media you do well, you might even be the boss after a number of years of having experience. So once the
