What up guys? Welcome to relatable. I hope that everyone had a great and wonderful weekend. I did. I don't really know what I did this weekend. I can't ever remember by the time Monday comes around. It feels like so much time has passed since Friday.

That I can never remember what I did we built a bookshelf a new bookshelf actually my husband built a new bookshelf.

Because gender roles and I'm very thankful for that I'm not a decorating person. I'm a trash person as you guys know but my living room is kind of looking cute now so.

Gold reached for me a little bump date I am 20 weeks pregnant almost 20 weeks and half pregnant and so I'm halfway there which is exciting thank you guys so much for praying and for thinking of me and for your kind messages pregnancy is great so far.

Definitely in a high point where I'm not quite huge yet but I'm not sick and I'm only moderately tired like can't really fall asleep at night and then I'm really tired the next day and feel like I need to take a nap.

But other than that I'm feeling good feeling good we're going on a baby moon next week I will still be working and you will still get podcasts but we are going on a little trip and I'm really excited about that last trip probably as you know as not parents you know don't actually have like a little one outside the womb so excited about that okay past that for those of you who hate when I open without actually talking about what we're going to talk about I'm really sorry maybe you fast forwarded just a little bit.

Today we're going to talk about the green new deal we're going to talk specifically about this one line in the FAQ from the green new deal and that is providing economic security for those who are unwilling to work you heard me right ladies and gentlemen unwilling unwilling unwilling to work so let me just briefly tell you what the green new deal is now this happened last week and you've probably watched the news and you already know what is actually in the bill so I won't spend too long talking about the green new deal and I'm really excited about that.

I will just give you kind of an overview of the high point of what's in the bill because just in case you don't know what's been going on or what's in the bill I don't want you to miss that so green new deal resolution passed by our favorite Congress from the Bronx Alexandria a Corsio Cortez and it was published I saw it first in MPR the resolution itself and the FAQ the FAQ is what has caused the most controversy over the past few days and we'll get into that.

The goal of this resolution is to cut carbon emissions by moving towards 100% clean renewable energy stopping fossil fuels entirely so it is going to do this by quote upgrading all existing buildings in the country for energy efficiency yes you heard that right upgrading all existing buildings all buildings every every building not just New York City but throughout the entire country upgrading them whatever you want to do.

That means for energy efficiency every every single building okay working with farmers to quote eliminate pollution and greenhouse gas emissions all rights also quote overhauling transportation systems to reduce emissions including expanding electric car manufacturing building charging stations everywhere and expanding high speed rail to a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary sorry Hawaii won't see it anymore.

A guaranteed job with quote a family sustained a sustaining wage adequate family and medical leave paid vacations and retirement security for every American also high quality care for all Americans now this is not just a deal that is targeting the environment trying to supposedly make the environment better this is also fighting what's the what Alexandria and a Corsio Cortez and a lot of Democrats see that.

As racial gender socio inequality by calling for massive public investments in what this resolution calls frontline and vulnerable community so people who are in poverty there's a quote from CNN it is providing universal healthcare and affordable housing ensuring that all jobs have union protections and family sustaining wages and keeping the business environment free of monopolistic competition basically this is a big government dream and it's a

radical progressive wish list it is mobilizing big government programs and trillions they don't even know how much it's going to cost but estimates are just trillions and trillions of dollars that's literally the most specific number I've seen trillions and trillions of dollars of taxpayer money to quote fight climate change by revolutionizing the way we work the way we live the way we travel over the next 10 years.

I radically grow the size of the government in order to do that using your money and limiting your freedom because one thing we know about the government is that it cannot help you without also limiting your freedom the bigger the government is the less freedom that we have Democrats tend to see that especially far left Democrats tend to see that as a good trade off for whatever benefits were getting from the government expanding environmental experts were talking environmental experts even those that are on the left that probably agree with the Corsio Cortez on climate change.

Even they are saying that this is an unrealistic plan that it's actually impossible to cut carbon emissions by to zero by 2030 that's only 11 years from now many of them are saying okay we might be able to do that by 2050 but 2030 no probably can't do that we actually don't even know how big of an effect carbon emissions are having on the environment that's something that's being debated among scientists it's not even just a

right left issue that's a genuine thing that's being debated we have no idea no idea no evidence whatsoever to show that the resolution that Alexandria Corsio Cortez and other Democrats are signing on to that it's going to help anything we have no idea if it's actually going to be effective we have no basis on which we should place the belief that this is actually going to work the good thing is this is a non binding resolution it

wouldn't actually create any new programs it's more of a set of goals for what far left Democrats like a OC believe will help the environment and even the economy that's what they're saying which is just absolutely

absolutely crazy to me so this isn't talking about how it's going to happen that's actually a very a very frustrating question for a OC whenever she's asked well how are you going to pay for this she just kind of gets all

frazzled and that we're just we just aren't we just are going to pay for it um while she also says that this is a very urgent need that we are meeting climate change social and racial

inequality and all of the stuff that the screen new deal apparently is going to magically heal over the next year she says it's very urgent but she doesn't know how to pay for it

like if you have to make a car payment or if you have to fix your car and it's truly urgent you figure out how you are going to pay for that repair on your car

if it's not really that urgent then you don't have to think about it right then you can save a little bit over time and say okay I'm going to get that part of my car fix but
