9:03 am
are created there en masse is because of natural gas and carbon energy and not alternative energy products. >> yeah, it is a great up side and surprise, and no thanks dow to the administration on this. this is entrepreneurs, technologies like horizontal drilling and so forth. the thing i find funny about gin mccarthy her degree was in social anthropology with an emphasis on small animals and primitive cultures. she knows nothing about economics and nothing about economic growth and nothing about science and nothing about pollution. what is next? we are getting to a joke point here. >> emac, the president himself is speaking out as an authority on job recreation and belittles the idea that carbon energy products like the co stone poip line create role jobs,

9:07 am
focusing on the war on coal. this administration wants to limit it here and i understand they want to limit polougz. we all want that ones. we stop using coal because of epa regoulgzs and they sell their coal to china that have dirty energy plans in china and the world polougz becomes worse because we are not using the coal in our clone coal plants? >> first, let me say to rich and carl. i do the jokes around here. >> we all get a joke. >> and number two, that is a weird argument. it is pretty accepted. >> why is it weird. >> it is not word at al >> if we don't prous the coal chinese will do it. >> that is why it is an argument to make because another country is going to foul the environment biousing the coal.
