It's Monday, September 30 of 2024.

Dislike of and anguish over social media is just growing and growing and growing.

And it's part of our problem, particularly in democracies, in terms of building consensus around any issue.

It's really hard to govern today.

You can't, you know, there's no, the referees we used to have to determine what's a fact and what isn't in a fact that kind of, you know, been eviscerated to a certain degree.

The American taxpayers, my constituents that are having a hard time

afford their groceries, pay for a car, buy a new home, spend $1.6 quadrillion to fix a problem

that A doesn't exist. And as a matter of fact, you might be exacerbating because it's unknown.

It is unknown at this time the low level that of carbon

dioxide in the atmosphere that might actually destroy life because plant life all depends.

As you know, Secretary, plant life all depends on CO2. And when we kill it, then we're done too.

I yield the balance. Congressman, let me just say that I don't agree with what you're saying out there for any number of reasons.

I don't have time to go into the old one now, but I'll just tell you point blank,

that the difference between the periods you're looking at in terms of heat, et cetera,

and human input is night and day, number one. Number two, why do you

think 195 countries in the world? They're prime ministers, they're president. Because they're

grifting like you are, sir. But look, if people go to only one source and the source they go to

is sick and, you know, has an agenda and they're putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.

So what you need, what we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully having,

you know, winning enough votes that you're free to be able to implement change.

Now, obviously there are some people in our country who are prepared to implement change

in other ways.
