SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Three words I want to throw at you -- Green New Deal.

RUSH LIMBAUGH: Well, it's -- it is a trick, the Green New Deal. Even Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, her chief of staff, sackrat -- sakreet -- sakrot -- whatever, Chakrabarti, admitted that it's not even about the climate. It's not even about the weather. It's an economic plan, and it is. It's designed to get massive federal power, grow the federal government, under the pretense that average Americans cannot be left to live their lives without ruining things, especially for the Democrat Party. It's unaffordable, it will never happen, and the premise behind it is bogus.

There is no man-made climate change. There is nothing we can do to stop whatever the weather is going to do. We can't make it warmer, we can't make it colder. We can't change hurricanes' directions, we can't dissipate them. We can't create them. And yet, they are campaigning and trying to convince people.

I mean, look at millennials. It's really sad, there's a lot of young people that really think this planet is not going to be habitable by the time they hit 65. These people are ruining people's lives, they're ruining their futures all in the pursuit of power for themselves. It's disgusting on one level to me, and I think that they need to be called out and I think they need -- this stuff needs to be said point blank to them, because the media it is not -- the media's their best buddies, the media is their support group, and so forth. It's a big battle. I'm just -- I'm just optimistic, I'm confident that these people can be beat back.
