Energy Politics and the Climate Controversy

Is the climate crisis a myth, a tool for control, or a genuine threat? The Climate Change Hoax Podcast challenges the conventional narrative, dissecting the energy policies of the 2024 GOP primary candidates to uncover what really drives their stances. From Ryan Binkley's ambition to turn America into an energy powerhouse to Doug Burgum's puzzling mix of fossil fuel advocacy and carbon neutrality goals, we're putting these politicians under the microscope. Our exploration doesn't stop there. We examine Ron DeSantis' dismissal of climate urgency amidst natural disasters, Larry Elder's sparring with environmentalists, and Nikki Haley's historical decisions that might hint at her future climate strategies.

Join us as we cut through the noise and rhetoric, exposing the motivations behind these ambitious candidates. Listen as we dissect Chris Christie's relentless focus on Donald Trump, Asa Hutchinson's comprehensive yet contradictory energy policy, and Will Hurd's call to reject extremist environmental views. This episode promises a no-holds-barred examination of the candidates' plans—or lack thereof—to tackle the climate debate and energy independence in their quest for the presidency. Uncover the unfiltered truth about what these GOP hopefuls really intend to achieve regarding our planet's future.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
The Climate Change Hoax.
If you're suspicious that thisclimate change stuff may be
exaggerated or just total BS,you've come to the right place.
Welcome to the Climate ChangeHoax Podcast With your host,
carl Michael.
Here you'll learn the truthabout the deceivers who want you

(00:24):
to believe we can actuallycontrol the weather.
We cannot.
The real goal is to control you.
This is the Climate Change Hoax.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
And greetings crisis deniers and greetings crisis
deniers.
Let's examine all the GOPprimary candidates energy
policies and views on climatechange.
There are 13 candidatescompeting for the Republican
nomination to run against JoeBiden in 2024.
In 2024.

(01:02):
They are Ryan Binkley, dougBurgum, chris Christie, ron
DeSantis, larry Elder, nikkiHaley, will Hurd, asa Hutchinson

(01:26):
, perry Johnson, mike Pence,vivek Ramaswamy, tim Scott and
Donald Trump.
First up is Ryan Binkley.
This is from his campaignwebsite.
America should never depend onforeign nations for our energy,
especially those nations whofear and oppose our way of life.
His goals are to make America anet exporter of energy, expand
the use of nuclear energy,promote American-grown biofuels

(01:50):
and responsibly expand theexploration and development of
America's oil, natural gas andcoal.
Okay, ryan sounds good.
Okay, ryan Sounds good, butresponsibly expand bothers me as

(02:14):
a red flag for political doubletalk.
Doug Burgum, the governor ofNorth Dakota.
This from his campaign website.
We need to stop buying energyfrom our enemies and start
selling energy to our friendsand allies.
Well, it sounds like Doug isall about gas and oil and
doesn't really buy into theclimate change hoax, right?
Well, in 2021, at the start ofhis second term as governor, he

(02:40):
announced a goal for NorthDakota to be carbon neutral by
2030.
Sounds to me like this guytalks out of both sides of his
mouth.
Chris Christie, former governorof New Jersey.
I have nothing to report onChristie's energy policies or

(03:02):
his view on climate change.
On Christie's energy policiesor his view on climate change,
his campaign's mantra is truthmatters and is entirely centered
around the criticism ofPresident Donald Trump.
Christie's failed bid for theRepublican nomination in 2016
was a disaster.
He got only 1.8% of the vote inthe Iowa caucuses and a mere

(03:26):
7.4% in the New Hampshireprimary.
Perhaps his ignorant andmisguided criticism of President
Trump will likely be the reasonwhy he loses again.
Christie joins the ranks ofHillary Clinton with a
snowball's chance in hell ofever being president.

(03:51):
Ron DeSantis, the governor ofFlorida.
He recently condemned climatechange alarmists during
Hurricane Idalia's aftermathQuote.
We've got to stop politicizingthe weather and stop
politicizing natural disasters.
I think sometimes people needto take a breath and get a

(04:12):
little bit of perspective here.
Governor DeSantis' are causingclimate change.
He tends to just ignore themand their dangerous views, which

(04:40):
is what we all should do.
Good luck, ron.
Larry Elder.
Mr Elder's campaign slogan iswe have a country to save.
This, of course, is very true.
I was unable to find anythingon his website about the climate
or energy policies.

(05:00):
However, I do knowenvironmentalists hate this guy.
Larry has tangled with GavinNewsom and many other climate
wackos.
His relationship with DennisPrager also bodes well for Larry
as likely having a pragmaticapproach to the climate.
Good luck, larry.

(05:21):
Nikki Haley, former governor ofSouth Carolina.
I was unable to find anythingon her website about climate or
energy policies.
However, in 2015, whilegovernor, after a horrible
shooting tragedy at a blackchurch in Charleston, she

(05:49):
insisted the Confederate flag onthe grounds of the Capitol be
removed.
Many proud Southerners viewedthis as unnecessary and divisive
and suggests she is just aslikely to cite natural disasters
as justification for badclimate decisions.
Will Hurd, former representativefrom Texas.
This is from Will's campaignwebsite.

(06:11):
If the United States is goingto maximize the advancement of
our citizens while sustainingharmony with our planet, we have
to stop listening to extremeenvironmentalists and climate
deniers.
Stop listening to climatedeniers, nuff, said Asa

(06:37):
Hutchinson, the former governorof Arkansas, from his campaign
website, quote Embrace anall-the-above policy by
reversing restrictions onpipeline construction and
drilling, removing barriers tonuclear power and ending the war
on fossil fuels.
Okay, asa, your all-the-abovepolicy bothers me as another red

(07:03):
flag for political doublespeak.
Perry Johnson this is from MrJohnson's campaign website.
Quote Climate extremists wishto see us immediately end our
dependence on fossil fuels.
This is unrealistic and unwise.
I differ strongly from theBiden administration on that

(07:27):
position.
I would repeal Biden's climateextremist executive orders
immediately upon becomingpresident.
Good luck, perry.
Mike Pence, former vicepresident, former governor of
Indiana.
So let's move on, shall we?

(07:49):
Vivek Ramaswamy this is from MrVivek's campaign website.
Quote Drill frack and burn coal.
Abandon the climate cult andunshackle nuclear energy.
Unquote.
Good luck, vivek.

(08:11):
Tim Scott, the senator fromSouth Carolina.
His campaign website is lackingany direct stance on climate
change.
Either way, however, he is forenergy independence.
That is clear.
But does it mean he will standup to the climate wackos?
Donald J Trump, the 45thPresident of the United States.

(08:35):
President Trump's energy policy, from his campaign website,
says this quote when I am backin the White House, I will bring
back a pro-American energypolicy at long last.
Pro-american energy policy atlong last.
This great undertaking willalso help restore hope and

(08:59):
aspiration to America's youngpeople, instead of being
irrationally terrified bypolitical predictions of climate
apocalypse.
Good luck, mr President.
During the first GOP debate,most of the candidates avoided
the climate change question likethe plague.
There were only two that didnot.

(09:19):
That's Vivek Ramaswamy andPresident Donald J Trump.
Regardless of who wins the GOPprimary, it is crucially
important for the economy andour future.
The winner recognizes thisso-called climate crisis for
what it is it's a hoax and willgovern accordingly.

(09:41):
Cheers.
