Rush Transcript:
Grant Stinchfield: Joining me now. Climate Depot publisher Marc Morano called all this into question. Marc, welcome back to the show.
Marc Morano: Thank you. Grant. Happy to be here.
Grant Stinchfield: So what’s your thoughts on Jimmy Carter? We go back to the sweater speech there and what he meant by the climate movement as we look at it now?
Marc Morano: Okay, you realize how consequential Jimmy Carter’s presidency was to the corporate media and to academia and to the left wing ideologues. Why? Because they basically look at Jimmy Carter as the first version of the Green New Deal in America. So much so that NPR, upon Carter’s death at 100, said his legacy is seen in ‘climate action’ today.
The Washington Post recently said that If Carter had a second term, we wouldn’t likely be ‘having a climate crisis’ right now. They love the idea that Jimmy Carter put virtue signaling — utterly meaningless solar panels on the White House. And by the way, Grant the stat you just mentioned, they wanted to get 20% of our energy from the sun by the year 2020. You know what that number is now, after hundreds of trillions of dollars mandates banning the competition of our total energy solar is still less, well under 2% by one and a half percent of our total energy production. As a percentage of the electricity generation, solar and wind combined are under 14% — there’s no there, there. This was back in the 1970s, when they claimed the sun was going to power everything, but they still haven’t figured it out.
This is where the left likes him. He came up with austerity, with limits, with restrictions. It was great because they wanted to take America down. Now, Jimmy Carter was asking us later on, but President Obama didn’t ask. Joe Biden didn’t ask. Al Gore isn’t asking. The UN isn’t asking. They’re forcing those kind of restrictions by rationing — not just energy — they’ve expanded it to our freedom of movement, by banning gas-powered cars, they’ve expanded it to coming after plentiful food, going after high yield agriculture, going after methane, and cows trying to ration, ration meat. So Jimmy Carter started it, but he was a minor leaguer. When you look at how they expanded it.
…
Morano: He was a man who was basically easily led. He was a weak guy. And if you remember, when he was president, his only term, there were all kinds of academics talking about the presidency may be just too big for one man. Guess when all that chatter ended? In January, 1981 when Ronald Reagan was sworn in, when the presidency wasn’t too big for one man, but it was certainly too big for Jimmy Carter.
But you fast forward 2014, Jimmy Carter is out there calling climate skeptics, ‘nut cases’, and he’s giving major speeches on that. He was a tool for the climate movement. He gave them gave them the crisis, the energy crisis, which forced all of these changes. They wanted to ration us. They wanted to keep us down.
And this is what even back in the 1970s, John Holdren, who was Obama science later, Holdren wrote a column in the 1970s, lamenting that America had too much energy and it was too plentiful, and it was, you know, he lamented people getting in their car and driving to the grocery store, buying a six-pack of beer and driving back home. (See: 1975: Holdren Says Real Threat to USA Is Cheap Energy: ‘The U.S.is threatened far more by the hazards of too much energy, too soon, than by the hazards of too little energy, too late.’) They wanted the Green New Deal, Net Zero, and Soviet-style restrictions on us even back then and Jimmy Carter kicked it off. That’s why he will forever have a special place in the hearts of academia and climate activists.
Grant Stinchfield: It’s so funny because I’m watching I’m watching conservatives like fall over him, and I don’t want to be disrespectful as dead, but I don’t understand it. Last Word, Marc.
Marc Morano: He seemed like a decent enough man, but just remember who he was. He was perhaps one of the most incompetent presidents we had. The job was too big for him, and he kicked off the idea of this energy rationing, and that is what no one has let go of since the 1970s — in terms of the entire global order, the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, they’ve seized on that, and Jimmy Carter will always be their hero — which tells you he should not be our hero, as conservatives and anyone who loves freedom and liberty and a plentiful, bountiful Earth.
Grant Stinchfield: Isn’t that the truth. With that though, I wish his family, the best, and may he rest in peace. But point well taken, Marc Morano Climate Depot publisher. Thank you buddy always good to see you. Merry Christmas.
Marc Morano: Thanks a lot. Happy New Year.

NPR: Jimmy Carter’s environmental legacy set the foundation for today’s climate action – December 29, 2024 – By Jeff Brady – NPR Excerpt: Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, died at his home in Plains, Ga., on Sunday. He was 100. …
Shortly after Carter took office in 1977, he delivered what has become known as the “sweater speech.” Sitting by a lit fireplace, he wore a cardigan sweater and addressed the country on television. “All of us must learn to waste less energy. Simply by keeping our thermostats, for instance, at 65 degrees in the daytime and 55 degrees at night we could save half the current shortage of natural gas,” Carter said. … Still, energy experts then were thinking about the possibility that oil and gas could run out. That prompted Carter to encourage alternative sources of energy. “He even put solar panels, famously, on the White House,” Jaffe says. … By the end of the 20th century, Carter wanted the U.S. to get “20% of all the energy we use from the sun.” The country still hasn’t reached that goal, though more than 80% of new generating capacity this year is expected to come from solar and battery storage.

“Carter had these very farsighted views of how he wanted to solve the energy crisis, and it involved conservation, but also involved turning away from fossil fuels and turning toward renewable energy, things like solar power and other renewables,” said Jim Pattiz, 29. Carter put solar panels on the White House, and he called for “shared sacrifice” to confront energy shortages. But he couldn’t overcome voters’ frustrations with fuel prices and availability. The solar panels were removed during Reagan’s presidency. But Will Pattiz, 30, said time vindicated Carter. If “President Carter had gotten an extra term in office,” he said, “we likely wouldn’t be having a climate crisis right now.”
Watch: Morano on Tucker Carlson in 2022 on WaPo claiming a Jimmy Carter 2nd term would have solved ‘climate change’ – Morano: But here’s the thing. They are not going to learn. Academia has been calling these energy restrictions for decades. This energy policy, what have they done? “the Washington Post” a few months ago actually said that we – if Jimmy Carter had won a second term there would be no climate crisis. They lamented that Ronald Reagan won. To the academia and media elites, Jimmy Carter’s first term was a model, and that’s what they want to do and that’s what we’re facing here. #

John Kerry wants to have an urgent climate summit. He announced on Monday. In the midst of all of this, he believes the climate is the greatest threat. Their energy policy is the greatest national security threat we face.
Tucker Carlson: Perfect. Marc, great to see you. Thank you.
