>> gillian: welcome back. new at 2:00, the pentagon is set to brief this hour after russian fighter jets buzz u.s. drones over syria. the top air force commander in the middle east says russia's aggression is a dangerous habit. >> they have been flying through air space they've agreed with us over a period of years not to fly into. sometimes it's just one pass through the air space, deservingly close to the garrisons on the ground, other times surveillance aircraft comes through and basically spying on us. >> gillian: how should the biden administration respond if at all? we will get into that this hour. great to be with you, bill. >> bill: nice to be with you again today. we also have some big news on

washington's probe into the blockbuster truce between the pga tour and liv golf out of saudi arabia. the multi-billion dollars investment group is looking at some other sports now. we start with some big news from the campaign trail. let's get to that. >> gillian: former president trump's campaign says he hauled in over $32 million during q2, despite mounting legal troubles and expenses. >> bill: will his competition be able to keep the pace? all eyes on the numbers, and our first real barometer of how some of the other candidates are doing and do they have the momentum and how is the grassroots support and what about the big backers and the questions continue. >> gillian: a busy week on the trail, iowa and new hampshire. >> bill: the former vice

president mike pence speaking to voters in the hawk eye state and a few hours from now, nikki haley in new hampshire. and looks like the former president's numbers have picked up yet again. >> they have. $35 million is nearly double, six and a half million came in the days following his second indictment. still waiting on other committees to announce their numbers. governor ron desantis says it raised more than $8 million in the 24 hours following his announcement in may, but we are still waiting on his three-month total. candidates have about a week and a half to file their fundraising reports with the federal election commission. desantis's wife is holding an an event in iowa, so is former vice president mike pence, nikki haley is in new hampshire. as they focus on the economy and

president biden's record. >> when i'm president of the united states, cutting taxes, more dollars in the pockets of the average family and increasing incentive-based economy. >> the miami mayor francis suarez is getting help from a chatbot. >> i'm here to answer questions you may have about mayor suarez proven agenda for economic prosperity, cutting spending and supporting our police. how can i help? >> we asked how he's going to beat donald trump and a.i. suarez says mayor suarez would pardon trump. and does not answer directly, but more general answers which i guess is like a real politician, bill. >> bill: feels like 2023, doesn't it, rich? nice to see you, thanks, in washington. gillian. >> gillian: staying on the

campaign trail, president biden's plan to shake up the primary calendar is up in the air after states continue to push back. dnc wants to begin the voting process in south carolina, giving new hampshire the boot. but they say it could have a devastating effect on their party's performance. it could also mean new hampshire votes first, but without the incumbent president on the ballot. kind of awkward. ben domenic, great to see you. the dnc had seven months now to sell this thing. they rolled it out, this proposal in december. democrats are hardly rallying around. seems like it's a sticking point. >> definitely a sticking point, and i was there in south carolina when there was the last ditch effort to save the joe biden campaign, which needed that point, given the momentum that bernie sanders had at the time, and it worked.

he was able to appeal to black voters in south carolina, pushed out competition at the same time and the result of that primary was ultimately to send him on the path toward being the nominee and the president. they have decided to award that this time around but done so by offending the new hampshire voters and they are very proud of their first in the nation status, they, you know, are certainly people who pay close attention to politics, independent streak in them but also a swing state, which obviously south carolina isn't in terms of presidential politics, it's a republican state. and so why have the kind of approach that insults swing state voters, even if you are trying to send a message to having more diversity in early states and the like, i don't think that this was something the dnc did as a necessary way. i think they went about it the wrong way. and ultimately if this results in an early contest loss for the

incumbent president, it's something i think a lot of dnc people, including a lot of their own delegates will be shaking their heads about. why do this in such a way that could result in potentially an rfk, jr. win in new hampshire just because the way the rules work. >> gillian: as you mentioned, the whole sort of ethos behind the proposal according to the president and the dnc, to diversify, and shake up theish ans, and the dnc chair says instead of talking about ethanol in iowa we are going to be talking about the infant mortality rate in the black community. i don't know, what do you make of that? >> look, i think that's fine to have as a goal, but you can talk about those things anyway. and look, when it comes to presidential politics, one of the few things where americans seem to hold to their appreciation of political tradition. they like things to work in an

expected manner and they become used to them over the past decades and cycles, essentially, a half century of this type of thing. and i think this is a change that the democrats did not need to make. i think you could still be having these types of conversations while keeping a foot toward tradition and not offending swing state voters who you need to bring back obviously after -- in the context of a general election. >> gillian: i want to switch gears to this. the "washington post" has a piece out about how the latino vote is continuing the drift in 2016, the latino support for the democrats has dropped 18 points since then. call for three here from abc, hispanic voters prefer the economy under former president trump, the question posed who do you think did a better job handling the economy overall.

55% of the respondents said trump, 30% said biden. i mean, this would be shocking if you had not been paying attention to what's going on the last couple of years. >> it's a fascinating thing and a good autopsy put out by a number of different consultants on the democratic side which had interesting data in it. one thing of note you are seeing this growth primarily among working and middle class hispanic voters, a thriving and rapidly expanding part of america's voting populus and also makes up significant portions of the population in many key states. one thing note, republicans saw the benefits, not just in florida, but in other states as well. the thing that i think republicans need to focus on, because they have not cracked it yet, more on the southwest. nevada, arizona, mexico and the like, the message about

socialism appeals to a lot of folks who come from south america, cuba and other countries, that has worked, less so with those immigrants from mexico and the like or who have that kind of heritage. and i think republicans have a strong case on the economy, on education and unfortunately you know, the privacy of the black lives matter agenda in taking over the direction this white house and democrats have taken in recent years is something that does drive hispanic voters away to a certain degree. they don't feel they are part of that message and feel their priorities are ignored. >> gillian: like they say, if everything is a priority, then nothing actually is at the end of the day. ben, we have to leave it there. have a great afternoon. >> bill: the white house says they have nothing new to offer on the investigation into the cocaine found in the west wing this weekend. deputy press secretary andrew bates pressed on this during a gaggle on board air force one a

short time ago. >> i do not have additional information to provide beyond what karine laid out in the briefing room yesterday, which is this is something we take seriously. the law enforcement professionals in the secret service are investigating after this substance was discovered in a highly traveled area. we are willing to assist in any way needed. beyond that, i'm going to respect their process. >> if the secret service is able to determine the individual responsible, will the secret service -- will the white house commit to transparency on this and making that information public? >> i'm going to defer to the secret service professionals who are carrying this out. i'm not going to engage on hypotheticals about it. >> bill: so the white house has stressed neither the president nor his family were home at the white house when the cocaine was found. combing the area again as you heard there, highly traveled part of the west wing. gillian. >> gillian: also tracking this, just under three hours left now

for david weiss, that's the u.s. attorney for the state of delaware to respond to questions from house republicans about the hunter biden investigation still ongoing. if weiss doesn't make that 5:00 p.m. deadline, he could be looking at a subpoena. bring in david spunt, he joins us from the justice department. david, there is a subpoena on the table, they have made that clear. >> it's always possible. there's no final decision because congress is in recess right now, members are in their home district, but discussions are underway what to do if david weiss does not meet that deadline, looks like he is not going to meet the deadline. we can say that with with confidence, he said so himself, in a letter to jim jordan last weekend, the letter late friday, june 30th, wrote at this juncture i'm required to protect confidential law enforcement and i will not provide specific information related to the

hunter biden investigation at this time. at this time, because the hunter biden probe is still technically active, gillian, hunter has not entered his plea yet, that will happen on july 26th. u.s. attorney weiss did seem open to talk later with congress, my sources say on capitol hill there may not be a rush to put him on the hot seat under other in public if he promises to talk eventually. house republicans do not believe weiss's claim he had full control and still has full control over the hunter biden probe. republicans are skeptical based off the whistleblower gary shapley, he's been on the record many times and insists he saw weiss personally complain he was not in charge of the probe and was not able to charge hunter biden in other districts outside of delaware. >> i even had him repeat that because i knew how important that fact was and i wanted to make sure i understood it. >> so right now we are waiting to see what congress does, but

i'm told a subpoena could be on the table in the future. gillian. >> david spunt, thanks very much. bill. >> bill: gillian, colleges are now making it easier to get the morning after pill through a vending machine. young voters say they are fired up after the courts dobbs' ruling. will this end up being a hot topic on the trail and all likelihood, yes. a look at that, gillian. >> gillian: also this, reps from the pga tour are expected to testify in front of congress amid the surprise merger with liv golf, many are sounding the alarm of other american sports as well. we have brian kilmeade teeing this one up for us. >> my instinct is if we want to completely prevent people from doing business with the saudi arabians, maybe the u.s. government should be first in line 679 found it. ( sfx: thud ) was that good? i couldn't tell. there's no such thing as out of bounds.

>> gillian: look at this, a doordash driver caught on video cursing at a customer, not appreciative of the tip. turns out it was a 25% tip on a pizza order. listen. >> i just want to say, it's a nice house for a $5 tip. >> you are well come. >> [bleep] you. >> the customer is a disabled military veteran, lacy, she says she relies on food delivery to feed her family. >> i want to do the same as i have, and do a tip before because they are working and then i go off experience and how polite you are. >> some say her experience, though, is really an example now of how tipping culture has gone out of control, with even some self-checkout machines now demanding a tip. bill, i grew up where you are,

in new york city. they taught us, 15% is for bad service, 20% chump change, 25 and up for anything decent. i'm used to this. new to the rest of the country. >> good deal, 25%. i think for the doordash deal. why you tip a machine is beyond me. cover that another day. this now from the hill. >> this merger is craven, blatant sports washing, and i am deeply disappointed and even outraged by the pga sellout. i think that the justice department ought to be continuing its investigation. in the meantime, there probably is a role for congress to play in some kind of oversight or scrutiny function. >> bill: a democratic senator after the surprise merger between the pga tour and the saudi arabia-own the liv golf,

and testify before congress next week. brian kilmeade, hello to you, sir. i see you coming and going. >> i saw you this morning, a reference to you, but i think we are over that. >> good for now. next week you will have jimmy dunn, well-known in the golfing community, and rob price, ceo of the pga testify on the hill. novak djokovic is getting ready for wimbledon and suggesting that golf is an individual sport and tennis is an individual sport. tennis may be ripe for another saudi takeover, and what he said. we'll talk about it. >> i think that we as individuals sport on a global level are probably closest to golf in terms of how we see sports. and i think from that example we

can probably learn a lot, you know, some positive, some negatives, and try to, you know, structure a deal if it's going in that direction in a proper way. >> bill: the last comment is intriguing, structure a deal if it's going that way. do you see that? >> individual sports, the most susceptible. they did not say i want to buy the p ga, we want to start our own golf league so got the best golfers in the word. now the tennis, i may try to -- and cristiano reynaldo, people want to follow him. so, tennis is open to the saudi arabia wants to get involved, more than let's say the nfl who is going to have 31 owners vote on whether that owner can buy in, the league is not open, and

good luck if you want to go grab players like the wfl did in the 1970s, like the larry zonka and start a league, a lot of them are under contract. >> bill: you have a lot of money, the pif, the public investment fund, sovereign wealth fund, and where they used all the money to get into golf. and the qatar sovereign wealth fund has bought stakes in the nba team in washington, and nhl and wnba as well. some may believe they may get into soccer. they may get into the nfl. do you see a day where the saudi wealth fund could buy an nfl team? >> if all -- everybody in the league, all the nfl owners vote for it. you have to convince all of them to do it. the washington redskins -- the washington commanders are going to be sold in about a week, they

are going to vote on it. i think the league is going to be individual. if you looked at someone as a solid entity, that's the league, it's private enterprise. you have a taiwanese owner with links to china with the nets. new castle is owned by the saudi wealth fund, that's over in england. you have manchester city is -- who has a piece of nyc fc over in mls. so it's convoluted. and they decide if you have money and invest you doit. and i don't think the u.k. definitely loved to have an american owner of a british soccer team. >> bill: you could also pay individual players and start your own league and compete with the nfl, not be easy, no easy task. >> you have to break contracts. how do you do that? >> bill: i agree with you, and you are going to shell out a lot of money to field a team.

i think the saudi wealth fund is anywhere between, what, 750 and $950 billion, and they might be able to go even higher than that. >> true. i don't think money is going to be an issue. the question is, saudi arabia, people have a problem, we look at their culture and how could women be a big deal, women just learned to drive. people put to death for small -- small criminal infractions. that's not what we buy into. but as was brought up, too, by senator j.d. vance, we do so much business with saudi arabia and the abraham accords, and so if you draw the line at sports, shouldn't we draw the line at individual businesses where if you take it apart the pga takes investments from various saudi companies to advertise in the pga. so, you have to be all in or all out and i think it's a reason to

be concerned. keep your antenna up. and if you are manipulated, you don't want to lose total control over an american sport. but we are open to outside investors in sports. >> bill: i think the merger will make golf bigger than it's ever been, playing in places we cannot imagine right now. question for you, "one nation" this weekend, what you cooking up. >> open up with the landmark decision on july 4th. and also want to talk about the ability for social media companies to no longer feel pressure from the fbi or other entities, nor to do what they are supposed to do. and have an opportunity to not only do that, but take a look at what's happening with the hunter biden situation as well as the investigation into other entities they want to find out what exactly is -- >> bill: we shall be watching. hope you had a good 4th of july. >> you working all day?

>> i'll be around for a while. thank you, brian. back to gillian in d.c. >> gillian: some pretty scary moments during last night's yankees-orioles game in the bronx. a wild throw from the rookie short stop hit a dugout cameraman right in the head. l the short stop was trying to complete a double play but it flew over the first baseman's glove. he was wheeled off on a stretcher, he has an orbital fracture but is now resting at home. >> bill: a look at the pentagon, awaiting a briefing from pat ryder. and russia's show of aggression. and putin's fighter jets harassing yet again u.s. drones over syria. james carafano will weigh in on that in a moment. >> gillian: the secretary of the

treasury janet yellen is on the ground now in china. put to a major diplomatic test as tensions between beijing and washington are peaking. latest in a live report from beijing. that coming up next.

pentagon where press secretary pat ryder will take to the podium momentarily, as a new wave of russian aggression is taking center stage. updated as the briefing begins. >> so in the meantime, a major new travel warning from the u.s. state department. officials are advising americans not to travel to china or else risk wrongful detention. it states the prc may detain citizens without access to u.s. services and arbitrarily enforce local laws, part of a rising tension between beijing and washington and the white house

is trying to cool down. treasury secretary janet yellen arriving in beijing earlier today as part of that effort. fox business's edward lawrence is travelling with the secretary and he joins me now live. edward. >> and bill, that's the only reason i'm in beijing is i did travel on the plane with the treasury secretary. she has a flurry of meetings on friday but a much, much different reception than secretary of state antony blinken, much warmer reception and part of the reason for that, the chinese see secretary yellen as someone who can ease sanctions and lift advanced technologies on the export bans, expectations for the meeting set very low. senior treasury official saying they do not expect any major breakthroughs. that official says it's more of a chance to listen and make sure there's no miscommunication on what the u.s. is trying to do. now, while getting clarification as to how china will roll out restricting exports on two rare earth minerals that the u.s.

needs to make semiconductors in advanced technology. >> we know for too long china has dominated the production of raw materials needed for critical products. we are building alliances with our friends all across the world, increasing our production here at home to create alternative sources for the minerals we need. >> republicans say this all makes the u.s. look weak, two high level visits with nothing to show but the promise of more talks. on friday, the treasury secretary will meet with a former vice premier, and american business leaders working in china and then capping the day with the economist and the former head of the chinese central bank. >> they try to rebuff our efforts to regain the basic understanding. i think the biden team misses this fundamental point. there's no miscommunication here.

the chinese communist party is at war with the united states. if we talk more, xi jinping will change his way i think is just foolish. >> the treasury will have more meetings over the weekend but not with president xi. >> bill: good to have you there, edward. looking forward to how the trip goes. >> gillian: more on the developing story out of the pentagon. air force releasing this video, it shows russian fighter jets harassing u.s. drones conducting a mission against isis targets in syria. let's bring in retired lieutenant colonel james carafano, vice president of national security at the heritage foundation. thanks for being with us this afternoon. what do you make of the recent aggressions, provocations, what do you call them? >> on the one hand, looks like incidents we have seen before. the other, we don't know what was going on on the ground. isis is no friend of russia.

isis controlled all of iraq and syria for many months. the russians have no love of them either. so what's going on here. is this a way to kind of poke at the u.s. or something operationally going on on the ground the russians did not want the u.s. to be looking at. >> gillian: too soon to tell. maybe ryder will get pressed in a moment. this is a kind of recent highlights recap of the weirdly aggressive, passive aggressive actions they have taken. in february, the u.s. intercepted russian bombers off alaska, two days in a row, then in april, norad conducted a routine intercept of russian aircraft trying to enter the air defense identification zone, and then take a look at the video everybody remembers this, russia forcing down a u.s. drone back in march. the drone was flying over the black sea, we got very dramatic video of that encounter. do you see this as a continuing

pattern? >> well, certainly this happens more often when the u.s. and russia are in tension, but two reasons for this. one, this always happens. >> gillian: things like this are going on all the time. >> even after the soviet union collapsed and the ukraine war was not on, you are testing the other guy's air space, do they see me do this, does this work. some of that is operational, some is training for pilots doing out and do this stuff. what we are seeing here, though, is different in the sense these are deliberately aggressive and reckless acts. if somebody did something wrong, people could die. >> gillian: people would die and very much does risk an escalation. no well, we are not responding to that. >> and different from the cold war, these are unmanned aircraft, and the russians, if you see what they are doing, they are not risking their

planes. and so if you knock down or cause an unmanned aircraft to crash, is that going to have the same kind of crisis as if a pilot was killed or threatened and the answer is probably not. because we have seen multiple things of that between multiple countries and nobody has gone to war over knocking a drone. >> gillian: it's expensive equipment, certainly valuable to both sides. as this is going on, the president is pushing to expand nato right now, hoping to get sweden in next. you think he's going to have success? >> it's really -- as everybody knows, it's up to the turks and the hungarians, and the hungarians are waiting for the turks, and whether they close it or not, it seems difficult to keep sweden out of nato. no logical argument for that and makes nato so tremendously stronger. if you think about this, when you add finland, you add 800 miles of front that the russians

have to worry about. the baltic sea into a nato lake. this is -- this really almost makes the notion of a full scale russian invasion of europe almost impossible. so the addition of sweden is important. >> gillian: james, thanks for being with me in person. bill. >> folks, it's no accident. bidenomics in action. >> bill: president biden touting his economic record, and touting green energy job as a pillar of bidenomics. >> gillian: rikki schlott and dagen mcdowell are with us next. . ...or blasting the air conditioning. because the tempur-breeze feels up to 10° cooler,

all night long. for a limited time, save $500 on all-new tempur-breeze mattresses.

>> bill: general ryder taking questions, the first cluster munitions shipped to ukraine, he says that's not the case. drop on in. >> what sort of outreach with nato partners about the use of the cluster munitions in the

conflict. >> again, i don't have anything specific to announce today in terms of dpicms. if and when the decision is made we will provide more information as appropriate. i will say this in terms of our allied, or allies and our partners, unity remains very strong when it comes to supporting ukraine and providing them with the capabilities they need to be effective on the battlefield. >> has he had any conversations with some of the ukraine group partners, nato allies. >> i don't have anything to read out today. >> general ryder, what can you tell us about these incidents with the russian war planes over syria, the approach to the mq9 reapers, how close were they and the incidents, you sent an f-22 squadron out to the middle east to deter these incidents is clearly not deterring the russians. what's next.

>> i know there was a statement on this that highlighted three mq9 drones were committing a mission against isis targets. three russian fighter jets began harassing those drones using things like parachute flares to drop in front of them, as well as one aircraft engaging its after burner. clearly meant to harass and clearly unprofessional and unsafe behavior on the part of the russians. you've heard us say before our focus in syria is purely on the defeat isis mission, and so that will continue to be our focus. we call on the russian forces to cease this type of reckless behavior and behave like professional airmen. >> and also two french planes were approached by russians, russian war planes unsafely this afternoon? >> i don't have any information on that. >> and just on the iranian incidents with the naval

vessels. today there was the iranians overtook a commercial vessel. what can you tell us about that, and the iranians say that yesterday they had a warrant to seize one of the oil tankers that they were trying to approach when the u.s.s. mcfall got involved. >> my understanding on today's incident is that there was doubt in terms of the operational activities of this commercial vessel. the potential that it was illegally smuggling oil and so did not feel the need to respond in this particular case to that incident as compared to yesterday where these two commercial oil tankers both hailed, requested assistance, both unprovoked in terms of the attack from iran. and one case as i highlighted, firing upon those vessels. we will work closely with the

partners in the region to step up patrols and deter aggressive behavior. >> you didn't answer my question, which was about the warrant that they said they had to seize the ship. >> clearly the information that iran has put out is inaccurate, you know. so -- i think their record speaks for itself. go to warren. >> on monday marine -- >> bill: a couple things here. first of all, the report of the cluster munitions shipped to the ukrainian military did not add much, but it's reported. with regard to the russian fighter jets trying to harass over syria, it's a big deal, the northwestern part of syria. and then at the end we reported on this a short time ago, the iranian navy vessel seizing a commercial ship near the strait of hormuz, reports of two yesterday not taken ultimately but one apparently today. seems to be a bit of confusion as to where the story is going

now, gillian. >> gillian: that's right. and james carafano pointed out to us talking about the russians buzzing the u.s. in syrian air space, what happened in the air, of course, matters, and we have seen that on camera. what was going on on the ground is the key missing piece to try and figure out why this happened. it's not as if the russians want isis to have free reign inside that country any more than the united states. >> bill: the skies are active in that part of the world and so too are the seas. but first, this from south carolina, last hour, check it out. >> because when you invest in our people, when you strengthen the middle class, we see stronger economic growth that benefits everybody. >> bill: this is a tour on behalf of the white house, showcase green energy agenda during a speech today in south carolina, and what's known as bidenomics, administration putting together a concert-style poster with a list of headliners

and states for upcoming events all driven by a goal to reassure americans, will they buy it. rikki schlott and dagen mcdowell. bloomberg, u.s. middle class economic anxiety will decide 2024 election, that's what south carolina is all about today, one more, average wealth per middle class household plummets year over year by almost $34,000. it's a stunning number, dagen. >> and just in part from when the federal reserve started raising interest rates. that's calculated based on when the central bank started hiking interest rates to fight the inflation created by the run away spending, $6 trillion in spending from this administration. so it's actually a 1-2 punch that american families are

dealing with. it is a vice grip, if you will, i'll talk about on this very program, it's families being crushed by the inflation and then crushed by the higher interest rates to fight that very inflation. and that's why this concert tour that nobody asked for, run, hide, the concert, you know, the tour that no one wanted. too bad it's not a farewell tour. that that's why they are trying to serve up a hot dumpster dog of the american people and tell them -- the real average hourly earnings since joe biden took office have fallen 3.2%. that's because of inflation. people are not keeping up with inflation and today the market is down because interest rates are spiking. and soon enough, 7%, 30-year

fixed rate mortgage. >> bill: i would say, rikki, the tour is about telling it and whether people buy it is another question. >> looks like some intern just got back from coachella, from the poster, they say inflation is transitory, jobs are booming, the american people are not buying it. economy is the number one issue for them at the moment and only one in five americans say the biden administration policies are helping them economically, i think it will come back to bite him in the end. >> bill: one thing i caught from the speech talking about china can, and the investments china is making in its own economy. he said our goal is to bring full factory supply chain back home. that sounds pretty rich for someone who voted for nafta. now, granted nafta applied to mexico and canada, but nonetheless, what, 30 years down the road and you want to bring

your entire supply side back to america. >> be careful when joe biden and his cronies talk about china, they admire china, china is a communist country with a centrally planned government. china controls the businesses in that nation, and the wall street journal wrote about speech that jake sullivan gave, a permanent u.s. industrial policy in which the government explicitly leads and everyone else follows. those were dan heningers words. that's not the country in which we live but the country they want to create. the government doesn't make the best decisions with our money, your money, with businesses' money. that is statism, that's state controlled capitalism. we don't want to work for them. we want to work for private

industry. private industry makes the best suggestion. >> bill: suggesting the ccp has it right -- in the administration's eye. and blocking out the sun's rays, politico headline, white house cautiously opens the door to block sun's rays to slow down global warming, and solar modification, have you studied this, reverse the effects of the sun? >> people are calling it geo engineering, and critique in general, unprecedented. we have no idea what will happen if you were to tweak with something as precious and important as the sunlight on the entire world, i'm not sure how biden administration has decided the white house is the appropriate place to make that decision for all of humanity and should we not point our fingers to other countries in the world polluting the environment more than we are, like china and like

india, and why are we knee capping our own economy and blocking out the sun's raise. >> bill: the amount of aerosols to reflect the sun's rays away from the planet, and increase can cloud cover over the oceans, and reduce the amount of high flying cirrus clouds. this goes to the obsession with climate, repeatedly. >> can we put up that politico headline again? if we can find out the person whose idea that was, we will know whose cocaine that was at the white house. >> bill: oh, my gosh. >> and by the way, this climate obsession, call it climate colonialism. it's climate racism. based on keeping sub saharan africa in the dark and permitting them from developing their own natural resources and becoming developed industrial powers. and it will essentially starve because of a lack of fertilizer
