What this episode covers

Full Transcript Charlie James: All right, let's go to Wayne in Greenwood. Wants to talk about Abdul El-Sayed. How you doing, Wayne? Wayne: I could be better. Every time you ask me that question! [Laughter] Charlie James: Yeah! Yeah, what's going on? Wayne: Uh, in reference to Abdul, I understand that his parents were birth tourists. Do you know if that's true, and if so, did they go back to their country of origin and then he came back here, and then once you can answer that question, I have a comment to make. Charlie James: You know what? I don't know about Abdul El-Sayed. They might—it might have been a little birth tourism there. I do know that, um, that the other guy, Hasan Piker, he came—listen to this! You know why he came to the United States? He's the big influencer over there with the DSA. He came to the United States because he wanted to go to college here because he heard American girls were easy. Wayne: Then why don't we deport him? Charlie James: [Laughter] That's a good question! So what's your other question, Wayne? Wayne: Okay. Well, you don't know, well—the fact, the fact that his parents named him Abdul tells me they did not want to assimilate. I want you to contrast that with the German Mennonite immigration that began to Paraguay in 1927. And right now, there is a young German guy that is the pastor of the Concordia Mennonite Church in Asunción, Paraguay, that you can see on YouTube. And they have a German service, and they have a Spanish service, and he's equally at home in either one. And of course he has a German last name, but he has a Spanish first name, Rafael, and that tells me his parents wanted to assimilate. Charlie James: There you go. That makes sense. I appreciate it, Wayne. Let's go to Eric in Pickens. How you doing, Eric? Eric: I'm highly amused, Charlie. Charlie James: Yeah, what's up, man? Eric: Well, you were talking about the greenhouse gases global warming hype, and I have—I have a rather unique perspective on that because I actually work in heating and air. Charlie James: Okay. Eric: And I've got, you know, there's two points. Number one, if you go back 20 years and you look at the global warming potential chart, you'll find that R-11 was the best refrigerant that would not cause global warming. And then they would spend—they spent like another whole page on how evil carbon dioxide was. But the new global warming chart now has R-744 being the new Wunderkind refrigerant that's going to save us all, and R-11 has a global warming potential 5,250 times worse than R-744. Well, the thing is R-744 IS compressed carbon dioxide! Charlie James: [Laughter] That makes so much sense! Eric: Yeah, and something I like to point out to people, they've never really get this, is who has to obey these global greenhouse gas emissions rules? You know? Charlie James: Yeah. Well, they want our farmers to do—all of our manufacturers, farmers, us. Eric: Okay, but the people who have to obey these greenhouse gas emissions rules are the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Europe. Russia does not abide by them, China does not abide by them, India does not abide by them. No Southeast Asian country has to abide by them except Japan. No African country has to abide—no country south of our border has to abide. So if all this is so bad and, you know, we're so horrible about this, why doesn't the entire world have to obey these rules? Charlie James: I agree! And you know what, in China, they're—they're given "emerging nation" status, so they don't have to abide by it. That's why I'm so glad that, uh, Trump took us out of the Paris Climate Accord. I appreciate it, Eric. Let's go to Benjamin up in North Carolina. How you doing, Ben? Benjamin: I'm doing pretty good. Charlie James: All right, what's up? Benjamin: Can't you stand the heat? Charlie James: Can I stand the heat? Well, it's getting hot. It's definitely hot. But— Benjamin: I live in a—I live in a trailer, but I ain't got no elec ...
