1:32 am
climate change rather than really championing the energy boom in this country. it just boggles the mind. >> picking and choosing. >> wehave very high unemployment. we have problems in this country. this is what they waste their time on. it's difficult to know what a hub looks like, adam, can you help me with this? >> adam, what is a hub? what is this stuff? >> plastics. i don't know any better what a hub is than you do. what i know is i don't think they're wasting tear time. digging, first of all, the energy boom doesn't need championing, i can't say that as easily as you do. it doesn't need to be championed. it's doing just fine. what needs to be championed are other ways of fighting global warming, which is real and that's really the conversation you seem to be having. >> i am not, i didn't think
1:33 am
that's anti-scientific. >> i take offense. >> but what makes you think any of these hub things are going to work? it sounds like stupid, doesn't it? >> i don't disagree they're forming up a bit. i know it was market years ago as global warming. when it didn't look leak we were having as many warm winters, they call it climate change. to put this on demand for this phenomenon. they must fix it and pay trillions to fix it. >> more specifically, when man. by the way, i'll ke off my costume a show you how it looks. >> anyway. >> i can't help it. >> listen, it's a money grab to
1:34 am
your time, we had weather, up, down, cold periods, dinosaurs are wiped out. automobiles didn't exist. pan didn't exist. it's all fawn sensical. we keep scaring the men as much as possible. we lose and take place at the same. >> the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide is china. they always pick all the united states. it's an issue of how you reduce emissions, natural gas powered power plant. we are doing it faster and cheaper than europe that they have to pull back because it costs so much money. >> look. i want to take the joking out of it. i really believe you do your thing. you are, the position you are representing here is you are anti-progress. we created automobiles.
1:35 am
>> homes are progress? >> so we added safety features. >> let him finish. >> fewer people are dying from it. my point is, man is creating a lot of these problems. not all of them. so we should do what we can. >> hubs are the answer. >> it sounds so insane. >> redistribution of money will clearly climate. this is what i don't get. raising my taxes will disappoint. it always comes down to that to spending something on something. it gets redistributed into the pockets of people. it doesn't change your facts, adam, not mine. >> to suggest it's purely environment. this is not pure scenes, this is a political movement, adam. you know it. they manipulate the numbers all the time. so it's hard to believe exactly everything that they say because
1:36 am
they manipulate so much to push the agenda. >> come on, do you really think -- >> i didn't want this to get to be a global warping debate. so i will end it here at this point. it is not going to be a global warming debate. apparently, it is not stopping, new allegations the irs is still targeting conservatives in its sights. now what does the agency want to do? handut millions in bonuses.

1:41 am
which i agrees kind of stechy. but the point here is to give the unions the ability to organize, not to thwart them. >> no, it's meant to give the unions a leg up in organizing, year over year, the percentage of workers in a union has been stagnant. it's not changing. under the obama administration. >> what do e-mails do? >> they send out a blast e-mail. will they limit how many they can send? >> can they choose them or against them for anybody? >> it's for anybody. >> it seems like an insane invasion of privacy what good is it going to do? help in organizing this thing? >> how is that different than union guys going outn the parking lot? >> it makes it easier.
1:42 am
it's a lot easier to get in touch with somebody and focus your pitch you can hound them. are there littl a union can send a potential employee? >> companies feel they run the show. >> you know, charlie sort of said what happened when the guys come out. you can talk? there's ways you can talk to people an pitch them and sway them to your side. the sort of tilts the balance. you have to wonder, what's next? you have to be worried as a business. >> come on. if you get into my business? >> listen, i'm a unique guy. >> you are a union guy now. >> you grew up in a union house. >> you know union membership has declined. is there any smack of trying to

from the traditional industry that they dominated and on and on. we can discuss it for a long time. >> one major reason. it talks too much to work here. unions have grimp driven up. as a person that loves unions, they put the automobile business basically out of business. >> and airlines. >> you know it did. why are jobs moving out of san francisco? thousands of jobs? >> it's too costly to work in san francisco. unions vnd a lot of others. >> that has nothing to do with labor unions, charlie. >> it has to do with the cost of putting people there. >> the bottom line, it could get some traction unions feel they make this a real goal, companies would be pressured to change the rules to allow it. charles is saying what would be next and are we going to have to really succumb to union demands

1:53 am
limit imports of catfi to other places so we're going to have to pay more for catfish. >> how do the catfish feel about it? >> they don't care. they're bottom feeders. they relaid to washington because they're all bottom feeders. >> boo. adam, in this environment, whether you can say this is important, there is this other little detail that we're flat broke. i can onto think the major high priority super spending needs should be addressed. even then we're putting it all on credit. as much as they remind me of the importance of the catfish thing, i guess we can say there's a separate provision carved out for goats, i think now is not the time. that's all i'm saying. >> the good news there is over the long hall, this bill does increase spending. >> no no, no. careful. it decreases the rate of increased spending. >> okay. fair enough. >> that's a savings, by the way.
1:54 am
