 The CDC reports that more than half of US adults have received at least one dose of one of the COVID-19 vaccines, and as a result, cases continue to fall, which means in the United States we are finally starting to get the virus under control, which might mean that lockdowns are very soon coming to an end. But according to Fox News' Laura Ingram, this is actually a bad thing, bad for the left and liberals and coastal elites more generally speaking, because we actually love lockdowns. According to her, we like lockdowns because they're not necessarily used in order to mitigate the spread of this highly contagious, deadly disease. They're used by us to control the masses, control real Americans. That's literally what she's going to argue in this clip that we're about to watch. But even though the lockdowns due to coronavirus are coming to an end, she tells her boomer audience that there's a new type of lockdown that they should be afraid of climate lockdowns. This is literally something that she says liberals and leftists are planning. Climate change activists who ignored or dismissed the human suffering caused by these draconian COVID rules were positively giddy. That kids were harmed from the cancellation of in-person learning and athletics was simply not relevant, given the left's larger long-term goal of reducing America's carbon footprint. So they saw COVID as an opportunity to advance the interests of a global climate bureaucracy. Their pet media marveled about the environmental benefits of lockdowns. Again, ignoring human suffering. If there is a silver lining to this crisis, it's visible in the skies above China. All of this inaction, while causing so many human problems, has actually proven to be quite good for Mother Earth. Falling pollution levels brought about by lockdowns may have been shining an impact on sunshine. Wild animals are now roaming city streets. How do we make sure these pollution models don't rebound? So the longer you were behind closed doors, not commuting to work, not going to church, not traveling to see family, the happier those people were. But having a free country means that individuals are making their own risk assessments, according to their own risk profiles. The Greeniacs hate that. They much prefer to order you around, or if that's not possible, to frighten you into abandoning your own common sense. So mindless COVID fear-mongering kept suburban women double-massed on running trails and sent urbanites to Amazon Prime for all their grocery orders. My favorite is when they were frantically wiping down their bananas and their egg cartons worried about COVID. You know, the virus can live on surfaces, for example, steel and plastic for up to three days. I'm just going to clean all the virus off here. Don't need to do too much. It's a pretty sensitive virus. For a cardboard, it's typically going to be closer to 24 hours. Of course, none of that was true, right? But he did do a good job of cleaning. But after some fits and starts, we won the COVID debate. Their so-called public health experts were wrong on everything from lockdowns to masks to social distancing. Those measures inflicted enormous economic, educational and psychological harm to adults and children alike. And Biden's attempt to take credit for this notwithstanding, it was Trump who greenlit Operation Warp Speed. Yet now we see the usual suspects lining up to exploit another hyped crisis. Of course, I'm talking about climate change. And the end goal is the same. They want more of your money and your freedom. And if they have to take extreme measures to accomplish this, oh, they will. I mean, what do you even say to that? What do you even say to that? She is pulling this out of thin air. She's fabricating it. She doesn't cite a single example of anyone in a position of power floating climate lockdowns. Her evidence that the left and liberals who are in power want to institute climate lockdowns is that some pundits pointed out the fact that during these lockdowns, the silver lining was that our carbon footprint collectively was reduced. So therefore, because they pointed that out because they made that observation, it is now a fact that climate lockdowns are coming and you should be very afraid. I mean, think of the tacit assumption that liberals and leftists aren't like other human beings. We actually loved the lockdowns. I loved not getting to see my family for an entire year. I loved it because I just liked that conservatives were getting controlled, even though they violated the lockdowns. I mean, who thinks like this to just completely dehumanize people who you disagree with because they're concerned about the pandemic to just assume that there's no legitimate reason to do a lockdown to wear masks to social distance in order to mitigate the spread of the virus. I mean, you're just a stupid person if you genuinely believe this about other people, if you genuinely believe that everyone celebrated the lockdowns and they loved it. That's fucking stupid, Laura Ingram. And you know this, she knows what she's saying, but her audience, who's older, who's less informed, they don't necessarily know. Now, unfortunately for Laura Ingram, she's not as effective as a propagandist is someone like Tucker Carlson. So I think that they're going to be less likely to be afraid of climate lockdowns, but so long as Fox News wants this narrative to get pushed, all they need is for someone like Tucker Carlson with more credibility, who's more believable to say it. And now all of a sudden, everyone in the country will be talking about climate lockdowns, because this is what Fox News does. Does anyone remember a Muslim no go zones? That was a big thing back in what was it? 2014, 2015, were they reclaiming that there were areas in Europe and London where you weren't allowed to go unless you were Muslim. They were trying to fear monger about Sharia law. It came to Europe and it's coming to the United States very soon. I mean, they always want you to be afraid. They always want you to live in fear. And then simultaneously, they claim that that's what the left and liberals want because they're taking this virus seriously. It's preposterous and nobody who's serious about climate change has proposed permanent lockdowns. That's unsustainable and that's not going to solve the climate crisis. But if Laura Ingram actually wondered what we want to do to stop climate change, all she had to do was ask one of us, except she knows though, right? Because she's against the Green New Deal as well. That's what we're proposing. We're proposing investments in renewable, clean technology, hydro, wind, solar. And on top of that, we want governments to rein in the 100 multinational corporations responsible for 71 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions globally. But Laura Ingram doesn't actually want to talk about what we want to do to stop climate catastrophe. She just wants to lie, straw man and fear monger. And whatever solutions you propose, she's going to shoot that that down as well at the behest of her fossil fuel advertisers, at the behest of Fox News's advertisers within the industry that makes a lot of money polluting the planet, ruining the environment. Now, I hope that you didn't miss the line where she said they much prefer to order you around or if that's not possible to frighten you into abandoning your own common sense. This is quite literally what she's doing in this segment. And don't pretend as if ordering people around isn't the rights for a day. You order people around all the time. You claim that you care about freedom and personal liberty, but that's not true. You're ordering people around on a daily basis. This is the entire conservative ideology. You guys are the traditionalists, right? You want to ban abortion, stop women from having autonomy over their own bodies. You want to stop trans high school girls from participating in school sports. You want to stop gay people from having equal rights, not being discriminated against. So you boss people around all the time. So what are you saying that this is what the left wants to do? The states who were responsible in implementing lockdowns and mask mandates, they didn't do this because it's their kink to be authoritarian and have many dictatorships in states like California and Oregon. They did this because of a fucking pandemic that's so bad it comes around only once in a century. Now, of course, there are hypocrites within the Democratic Party. Gavin Newsom, Nancy Pelosi. But were these objectively the correct measures to take during a pandemic? Yes. And anyone who disagrees with that is not a serious person. They're admitting that they don't care about the pandemic. Laura Ingram is implicitly telling you that she doesn't care at all that more than 500,000 Americans died during this pandemic. All she wants to communicate to her audience is that the left and more specifically, liberal politicians are bad because they took measures, drastic measures, but measures that were appropriate because of this pandemic measures to stop those deaths from racking up. Now, she adds, we won the COVID debate. Their so-called public health experts were wrong on everything from lockdowns to masks to social distancing. So she's declaring victory without even making an argument. Except what were you right about? Masks work. That's a fact. They are absolutely useful in stopping the spread of COVID-19. This is an airborne illness. So, of course, masks work. What are you even saying here? What are you implying? Because there was the clip of the CNN host or the CNN doctor wiping down the grocery products. That's like evidence that the left is wrong because we now know that COVID-19 isn't like latest spread via surfaces. I mean, OK, we were learning more about the pandemic as it went along. And we still don't know everything there was to know about the pandemic. We still don't know why it has basically no effect on people. They're asymptomatic, but other people die from it. We're learning about this. This is a learning process. So because we grow with more information and we adapt with new information, that doesn't necessarily mean that people were wrong. You were wrong about everything. Your network is promoting misinformation about vaccines. And yet as vaccinations increase, cases go down. So by that measure, you're wrong. So what she's saying here is just shameless propaganda. Absolutely idiotic virtue signalling to her right wing audience who she desperately wants to stay glued to her television show and television network. So what does she do? She keeps him afraid. Trust me, this is what you all should be afraid of. And I'm going to tell you what you should be afraid of next. Just keep coming back, keep consuming my media, eat up my propaganda. And I will make sure you know all the good things to be afraid of. Don't be afraid of actual threats like a highly contagious deadly disease that killed more than 500,000 Americans. I'm going to tell you the real threats. It's climate lockdowns, it's immigrants. That's the real threats in America.
