ad CNN had a whole seven hours of just climate change topic with these candidates — but wasn't it conspicuously missing from the questions? I think some of the candidates mentioned it but it wasn't even part of the question. I don't think that climate change works anymore as a topic. Why do you think it doesn't work as a topic anymore?

Yeah and Biden didn't mention the Charlottesville hoax. Why do you think the Charlottesville hoax and climate change stopped being good targets for the Democrats? I don't know but I'll give you some speculation. I think the racist thing wasn't working and I think that the fine people hoax being consistently debunked by people like me and others — Steve Cortes and Joe Pagliuca doing a lot of the heavy lifting on that — I think that maybe we made that look like it wasn't valid anymore.

Now how about climate change? I think the fact that there are at least two — no there are three Democrats running who are pro-nuclear — it makes the topic not work anymore because if you start asking about it you kind of raise the question of nuclear and this administration is pro-nuclear so it kind of makes climate change look like not the winning topic. Because the best thing to do about it is what the administration is already doing or trying to do which is promote nuclear as one of the many things that you do. It's not the only thing.

I think the Bill Gates brain special on Netflix may have actually moved the dial because if you think about it how many people in the press are likely to have seen a Netflix special about Bill Gates and you know the big things he's doing for Africa and the fresh water and sanitation and nuclear. All of them. I mean that's the sort of special that you would expect in due time that nearly a hundred percent of the people who work in the press would have seen. So what happens when a hundred percent of the press gets informed for the first time that there's something called generation four nuclear and that people as smart as Bill Gates and some of the smartest people in the world say yeah we just need a place to do this. We already know how to build it. We already know how to solve some of the biggest problems in the world. Just let us build it. Just figure out how to get past the red tape.

So I think maybe the combination of people like Mark Lynas and Michael Shellenberger and all of you and talking about nuclear and Bill Gates, I think it's just making climate change look a little bit solved now. Not solved as in we already know how to do it but there seem to be so many good approaches to handling it that it went from this big problem that we don't know what to do about it to oh okay I guess we sort of know what to do about it but we kind of do.

And then there wasn't much about China. So with all those Democrats on stage they mostly were focused on the coup by hypnosis. And the coup by hypnosis says that you just keep saying things about Trump personally until people think it must be true. So how many people just said well he's obviously corrupt, President Trump? How many times was the president called corrupt? Okay a lot, right?

Now give me the best example of that. What is it? What's the best example that would support the claim that he's corrupt? Was it a phone call that he did in front of witnesses that happened to be perfectly the top priority of his actual job description which is to make sure there's no foreign interference or influence on the Biden family because they were leading in the polls? That was his top priority.

So I know to me the slaughter meter is at about a thousand percent right now. I don't see — I can't imagine the president losing to anybody who was on that stage and I don't see anybody else joining the fight.

Let's go down some of the individual performers. I thought Warren looked weak in the debate. Buttigieg sort of nailed her down on health care and he totally won that exchange by pointing out that she didn't really — she couldn't even speak to her own plan. Well and her own plan was actually Bernie's plan. So first of all it's not even her own plan and second of all she was unwilling — obviously I'm calling Buttigieg really brought that out — she was unwilling to even talk honestly about her own plan which is actually Bernie's plan. It means she died a thousand deaths. I mean I thought that was a dagger. I thought that she can't possibly win by having that being her signature. I would say that's probably her signature policy and she's not even willing to describe it in p
