 dystopian time. In a world of politics dominated by the strange, the deranged and outright insane, we'll now take a moment to shine a light on the craziest of what politics has to offer. This is your weekly dose of stupidity. And bringing us the stupid this week is Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire. Now this is a conversation that they're going to have about climate change and if you survive this and your head doesn't pop off your shoulders, then you are truly a remarkable human being. So let's watch together, folks. Climate change is an existential threat to the human race. Man. Done. Yeah, it's not, it's not, it's not, and even if it was, we'll get off this rock, we'll figure something else out. We'll figure it out, man. Just stop whining about it. It's just so boring. I saw a deep impact. A couple of people survived. You know, what happened to Bruce Willis at the end of Armageddon? I don't remember, but I think he lived. Or at least. Yeah. Yeah. They are so intelligent. For the record, Bruce Willis dies at the end of Armageddon. It's been a while. I mean, there's a reason that Arrowsmith's song blew up during the 90s because Bruce Willis dying during that movie while he was playing in the background, while he's crying to, well, Liv Tyler, excuse me, is crying as he's left on the asteroid to die. Yeah. Now, before we lay into them, I actually want to defend them. I have a list of five things. I came prepared, Mike. I came prepared. I love it. A list of five things that show that maybe, you know, they got a point. Number one, if we climate change happens and the water rises, then maybe the islands will get so small that Steven Crowder literally will not be able to physically avoid Sam Cedar, and then they'll have to debate. That's the first point. Point number two, if you like hiking, there's going to be a lot of climate migrants that you can join. Number three, Delaware might sink into the ocean, and that's one less tax haven. So, you know, if you're progressive and as a Marylander, I'd really appreciate it. Number four, I like the idea that I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I didn't know there was a fourth. Go ahead. My bad. Number four, it's if you starve and you get so skinny to the point where you can't move your fingers, then you can't tweet on Twitter and cancel me. So that's a cancelless society. That's pretty cool. And number five, we'll probably stop any ban on plastic straws because it'll be pointless. And we can finally get back the turtle darts as I like to call them. I'm completely. You know, I really love about this that they totally think like, oh, you know, we'll just live on a moon or Mars colony, whatever. No big deal. As if that's like the cheaper option than just fixing the problem right now here on earth. Like we can't fix climate change, whatever, but we will just build a colony and a whole civilization on another planet that still doesn't even have life on it yet. I mean, these guys are ridiculous. And also I love the idea that Dave Rubin, while I'm sure he has a significant amount of money, I love the idea that he thinks he's rich enough to be in that crowd. Let me tell you something. When Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos make their little Elysium world in the sky in space, I should say, and leave all the peons down here, Rubin will be left here on earth. He'll surely be one of the peons. All right. Billionaires working to make their little world. Right. Right. I mean, the idea it's they won't save us. The billionaires won't save us. They're doing this for themselves. And anyone who can pay, I think Jeff Bezos on his little flight coming up in July to space, I believe the winning bid to be the passenger with him was something like $28 million for a 10 minute flight in space. I don't know about you guys, but that's not looking very good for how we're going to be shipped off of earth when the impending apocalypse comes. You underestimate the bootstraps, my boy. Triggers the third impact. He's going to make sure he gets his ass out of here. You can you can pay $28 million to breed the same recycled air with him before he ejects you out so he gets a little lighter. So he gets the view. The view was going to be so nice as you're getting ejected. Okay. Yeah. I just think it's really incredible that they think like the best option is to get off just start like planet destroying fucking planet hopping from like one. We broke this one. Let's go to the next one. Oh, we broke that one. Let's go to the next one and then have this like colony of just like peons just stuck on stuck on that rock to like wilt. And he's like, Oh, we need to make sure we stop talking. It's just so annoying. I just get so bored when I'm sitting in my $28 million house that that the single coke brother bought for me that I'm renting from him. I get to sleep in the closet. It's really nice. He's a really cool guy. I mean, I know he's going to take him with me, but he's his little pet. He's going to walk him over to the ship. But I'm sorry, while you're talking to us about how he's going to take you, the ship is going to be going off in the background. He doesn't like you. We're not you're they're not your friends, bud. I'm sorry. It's just really ridiculous how these people they they're their brains. If we can even call it that are not working. I also think it's brains. Sorry, go ahead. Yeah, I also think it's really funny that they like think that the word existentialist is like a little it's a step too far, you know, like, oh, you know, lots of life and, you know, like forest and all this like all the entire planet just getting destroyed. And it's like, but is it really an existential crisis? That seems like you're using harsh words. It like rings as like the same thing when like conservatives will say like actually bigoted stuff. And then you'll be like, you're kind of a bigot. And they're like, whoa, that's such harmful language. And it's like, well, that's just the correct language to describe this. So I don't know why this is why this why you feel this way about this. Yeah, Twitter censorship is more existential crisis to the it's the human population. Thank you. Somebody had to say it. I agree. Let's be honest with you. Dylan. Joy hasn't gotten to talk yet. I just don't want to go. I'm still like, just think, okay, letting the gears turn. I got you. So here's something that I always thought about. So as somebody who's like, you know, I'm very interested in foreign policy. The amount of climate migrants that we're going to have is going to be astronomical, right? And I always thought like, I remember how much hate in vitriol and in fear came from the right when just one country, the country of Syria had a large amount of migrants come out of it due to the due to the rebellion against Bashar al-Assad and just brutal bombing campaign everything that happened there. Do do they not realize that like this would be a climate migrant of just a tidal wave of people like would be the best way to like get like a like a Steve Bannon or one of these types of weird figures that usually won't care on board just to be like spooky climate migrant and then boom and then maybe get them on board. Like what would that do you think that'd be morally permissible? I mean, do you think that they hate climate change more or that they hate immigrants more? That is an interesting proposal, right? Well, they don't think climate change exists. So maybe we could hop them on by saying, oh no, it may exist. So let's prepare ourselves by making sure that they won't come here by fixing climate change first. But I know it's like it's like really interesting how I mean, you I know you have to like meet people where they're at sometimes. I mean, that would kind of start to be like a little bit of a hard one. But but at this point, I kind of feel like when it comes to lots of conservatives, you have to like drag them on a little bit. You know how a lot of progressive proposals help out Republican constituents more than Republicans ever could possibly imagine? I feel like it's one of those situations where it's like, where the revolution comes, buddy, not only are you going to get the wall, you're going to get four walls and a roof and clean water and free education and like and you just have to be like, I mean, we're going to give you all the things that you like, you know, ostensibly like the nice things that you want. But I mean, I don't know. Yeah, I've got to highlight this comment from Ryan Tennant. They'll definitely become eco fascists. And speaking of fascists, Rhonda Santis, isn't he a bit of like an environmentally semi friendly Republican? I mean, the political spectrum in the United States, it's going to get all twisted. It's going to be flipped upside down. I just want to go back to that clip. Joy, I feel like you and I are both on the same level in terms of like how nerdy we are. So you've probably thought about this too. How funny is it that we have ruined our planet, right? Completely fucked up our planet. Don't take that out of context. Now, for the point where like they're contemplating leaving the planet, but we're so stupid that we fucked up our own planet. But yet we can terraform another planet and Sharp kind of like, you know, made this point as well. This logic is nonsensical. If we can't fix our planet and terraform this planet, what makes them think we're going to terraform Mars? So Joy, make your peace on this because I know you have a lot to say about that clip. You know, it's like, there's just no thought process. It's the privileged way of, well, just start a new planet. I mean, it's no thought for future, you know, generations or anything like that. It's just very, it's just the planet like who cares. I actually interviewed brilliant climate scientist Peter Kalmas. Dude is freaking amazing, but he scared the living shit out of me by just stressing just how many climate refugees will have and just how bad everything will get if it's not acted on. So that kind of nonchalance there, that ignorance is, it's kind of scary that it might be more prevalent than we think it is.
