Green activists want to BAN fossil fuels. I wish they’d listen to energy author Alex Epstein.

He explains how fossil fuels make the world better, and how banning them ruins lives.

How can fossil fuels be “moral" when activists tell us, “keep it in the ground?"

Because:

“3 billion people …. still use less electricity than a typical American refrigerator” says Epstein.

To allow them to have a modern life, “that's going to depend on fossil fuels.”

But what about pollution and climate change?

I push back throughout this podcast.

The conservative Christian satire group, the Babylon Bee, is part of a growing movement of new, anti-establishment comedy and anti-woke comedy.

“Leftists have become so…religiously zealous about their beliefs,” says Editor-in-chief Kyle Mann.

That preachy establishment comedy created a market for something new.

“We have to create our own platform,” says Bee actor Chandler Juliet.

It’s good that comedy like this exists.

I don’t like talking to politicians. But Ron Paul is different.

Paul talked about free markets and limited government long before I had a clue how important they were.

When I interviewed Paul in 2007 for ABC News, ABC wouldn't put the interview on Broadcast TV; they only played it online.

Now everything we do is online— I like it better this way, we were able to have a long conversation and cover many more topics.

You’ve been hearing about DEI training.

Basketball player Enes Kanter Freedom is outspoken about brutality in Turkey, China and elsewhere.

I’d think Freedom’s activism would be applauded by the NBA. Afterall, the league is a big supporter of activism from the Black Lives Matter movement.

But that wasn't the case.

When Freedom spoke out against China, he says it cost him his job.

Who is this principled player?

I wanted to learn more about what happened to him.

Many politicians, and most climate scientists in the media, portray climate change as a crisis.

"People are dying!" shouts Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez.

Bill Nye "the Science Guy" says "The planet's on ****ing fire! ... This is an actual crisis!"

But climate scientist Judith Curry bravely tells me: There is NO "crisis."

Global warming is a problem, yes, but it's manageable. She explains how IPCC scientists recently admitted that their most extreme models won't become reality, and she notes that climate-related deaths are actually falling.

She also explains how the scientific community became corrupted by "fame and fortune."

If you follow the news, you know Megyn Kelly. But how much do you know about her?

I got to know Megyn Kelly when we worked together at Fox.

We, and our families, became friends.

Then I watched, sometimes in shock, as strange and nasty things happened to her.

We finally sat down to talk about that.

It’s easier to speak freely now that we’re both our own bosses.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is running for President. I want to know what he'll do if he wins.

The Governor is both popular and controversial.

I like some of what he has done. But I also worry he may be an authoritarian.

We talk about the good he’s done, and I confront him on what troubles me.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a successful entrepreneur who created a biotech company. Now he’s running for president.

Adam Carolla is one of the most successful comedians around. Millions of people listen to his podcasts, attend his live shows, and read his books.
