What outrageous statements are Trump’s cabinet members making on TV?
Donald Trump's cabinet members making appearances on Fox and other right-wing channels, uh, making complete fools of themselves on such critical issues. I just want to show you this. This is Donald Trump's energy secretary, Chris Wright. Let me just play this clip for you. Utterly humiliating and and dangerous. Here, play this first clip.
The Department of Energy, meanwhile, released its climate report assessing the impact of greenhouse gas emissions. It includes carbon dioxide induced warming may be less damaging than previously believed, which many people expected. The DOE is receiving pushback, however, from the New York Times. The Times writes that the energy department is attacking climate science in contentious report, Secretary. Your reaction.
Oh, what a what a crazy headline, but I guess that's par for the course for the New York Times. In fact, we're doing the exact opposite. We're exposing the American people and the broader scientific community to what actually is in the intergovernmental panel on climate change reports, not the hyperbolic uh summaries for policy makers or media headlines that claim all sorts of crazy stuff. This is what we actually know. How how often do you hear that the planet's getting greener because there's more carbon dioxide in the air that contributes to increased crop productivity and greater wilderness, greener wilderness? How often do you hear that deaths from extreme weather had been falling like a stone for a century and that insured losses from extreme weather events had been on a multi-decadal decline?
It's But those are just facts. Instead, we're scaring kids in school. We're we're promoting an alarmist view of climate change that's simply it contrary to the facts. It's a real physical phenomenon that we want to talk about honestly.
Yeah, those are not the facts. Quite literally, everything he says there is a lie. And you hear him saying climate change is actually great for everybody. I mean, this is climate change is an amazing thing. So they're going to put out reports saying that this benefits everybody. I mean, it it doesn't get more dystopian than that. Or or does it? I mean, here you have Secretary of the Interior, Doug Bergum, celebrating that the Trump regime will eliminate wind and solar power energy. Say goodbye to wind and solar. It's just call everybody as other countries are developing multifaceted energy to help them one when it comes to their energy production needs, help their economies, but also help the environment.
This is what the Trump regime is saying. Here, play this clip.
Are still a lot of wind projects that are moving forward and the ones in the ocean as well, Empire Wind, Vineyard Wind, are those going to be stopped as a result of this?
Well, I think the big thing, uh Martha, is with the the one big beautiful bill uh has taken a major step forward. And finally, after 33 years phasing out these just massive uh subsidies uh that that were we're creating uh essentially tax schemes as opposed to power generation projects uh for wind and solar. Uh and with the phase out of those, uh I mean I think we're gonna See almost zero applications for new projects that come in because sixty per seventy percent of the value of a wind project, perhaps even more for offshore wind, which was very expensive, uh, was the value of the tax credit. And of course, uh we're for
They're talking about killing industries, but what is the government going to be subsidizing? What are they focused on? Coal, yes, but also building nuclear reactors on The moon. Here's Sean Duffy, Transportation Secretary, talking about bringing fission to the moon's surface. Here, play this clip.
We do have some solar, but if you want sustainable life on the moon, you need an energy source. So we're gonna bring fission to the moon's surface to power our base. It makes complete sense. Now some might say, well, the launch is somewhat complicated, right? These are not active, they're not live. Um when we when we launch.
All right, enough enough of that. I mean, I mean quite literally crazy, crazy, crazy stuff.
