Trump has taken a break from trying to convince you that windmills are gonna give you cancer or something to fear mongering about the future of donuts. Take a look. >> Speaker 2: Almost everything involves energy. If you make donuts, anything you make has to do. [00:00:18] And when they ended our energy, we were energy independent. Think of this. We're energy independent. We were soon going to be energy dominant. We would have been bigger than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined. Inflation started with energy. It's not that complicated. [00:00:34] When you have a donut shop, or a food shop, or a dress shop you need heat, you need whatever you need everything. You need trucks to deliver your product. Energy is so big, so important. We didn't have inflation. We knew how to take care of inflation. [00:00:50] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Look, inflation was caused because they stopped drilling, they stopped the energy, and that caused the inflation. Energy is so big, if you make donuts, if you make cake, if you're a lawyer, if you're an accountant, you're heating and you're trucking, and [00:01:08] no matter what you do, energy is so big. >> Speaker 1: Okay, first of all, we had inflation during the Trump years. There's always been so ridiculous. But you need examples when you're talking about your policies or just talking about ideologically your opposition to Joe Biden's agenda or something. [00:01:25] I get that. Where did the donut stuff come from? Is that like, no offense to donut shops, it's part of the economy. I love Dunkin' or whatever, Krispy Kreme. But it seems weird that he keeps going back to that. That said, the donut stuff, I think, is a bit of a distraction from [00:01:43] what you should truly be concerned about in those statements. And I will break that down in a second. But, Francesca, first, what do you make of his new defense of the donut? >> Speaker 4: I mean, clearly he's just been hungry, like he's on some new diet and is like, what I can't have is a donut. [00:02:01] So when you can't have or eat something, it just comes to mind. That's all that's happening. He couldn't he was sitting there like, energy, which is needed for producing donuts or cakes or gluten. Because I'm intolerant now, but I can't say that because [00:02:18] it sounds like one of the letters on the LGBTQ plus acronym. You can't think of anything else that energy is needed for, just industry generally. Think. >> Obstruction >> Speaker 4: Look at anything in [00:02:35] the room, you idiot. But I do have thoughts on what he should actually be concerned about maybe you're going there, so I don't wanna preempt it. But, yeah, very strange. >> Speaker 1: And I'm just gonna quickly throw out, you know what took me way too long into life to realize. And again, apologies to Krispy Kreme donuts. [00:02:52] Donuts aren't worth it. They're not, [CROSSTALK] like if you're going to eat something that's unhealthy, no, they're not that great. >> Speaker 4: I disagree. >> Speaker 5: They're not good enough. >> Speaker 1: Get something better. Get yourself some ice cream. It's available. And you know what to make ice cream takes energy. [00:03:08] >> I disagree on that. >> Speaker 5: Anyway. >> Speaker 4: Okay, I don't know if I can continue to be on the show, but please. >> Here is the thing. The substance of what he's talking about is energy and energy independence. And supposedly now we're not. From what? What has Biden done that has stopped us from being energy independence? [00:03:26] It's nonsense. He just throws it out there. There's no evidence. But the other thing is, his attacks against Joe Biden rely on the fact that Joe Biden is too old, too mentally incompetent to do this thing. But I want to take a look at the glass house that is throwing stones, [00:03:42] because here are the quotes you just heard. >> Speaker 5: When you have a donut shop or a food shop or a dress shop, you need heat, you need whatever, you need everything. You need trucks to deliver your product. [00:03:59] Energy is so big, so important. If you make donuts, anything you make has to do, and when they ended our energy, we were energy independent. Think of this. >> Speaker 5: So big, it's like all encompassing, everything. [00:04:15] You make donuts in the oven and the trucks that deliver them. No matter what you do, it's so much about energy. Has his brain been replaced with Boston Cream? [LAUGH] >> Speaker 4: [LAUGH] His brain is leaking out of his skull people. [00:04:31] You guys, we need to call off this election. I don't care about any of the lawsuits. Please, somebody stop this man. Clearly, all that's happening in his brain when he thinks of industry, is one of those old timey 30s cartoons where the very first Mickey Mouse is, [00:04:50] like, making a bunch of donuts. [SOUND] He's regressing. What the hell is happening? >> Speaker 4: And by the way- >> Why do we have the oldest man running for president? [00:05:05] >> Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I understand some people are gonna say, no, John, man, you've just been out for three months. You don't remember? >> No. >> Speaker 1: Trump was always like that. Yes. No, Trump was always like that. But that is particularly bad. This isn't like he has these ticks. [00:05:23] Like when he wants to prove something he just says, it's like no one's ever seen because I can't provide any more detail. This isn't him falling back on ticks. This is him stumbling to make a vague, dumb point. He can't even do that anymore. [00:05:39] Anyway, there's no evidence to support the claim that making donuts requires any special level of fossil fuel supply. The energy required to make donuts can come from renewable energy, too. It's just so stupid. By the way, the idea that the donut industry is gonna be destroyed by these [00:05:55] new regulations that he's not even citing is not true. The $7 billion American donut industry, my God, is $7 billion, is projected to grow another 3 billion by 2027. Reminded himself to invest in Krispy Kreme, good Lord. [00:06:12] So anyway, it's not true. And it's a reminder that, we talked about the Argentinian election in the previous segment. And he's bad on all that stuff having to do with economics as well as social policy and stuff like that. But he's also fully willing to just fundamentally lie about what's going on. [00:06:31] And all of that is gobbled up like a donut by a significant portion of the American electorates. So again, reminder, we're in an election, he very well could win it and it's consequential. >> Speaker 4: I mean, the last thing I was going to say about this is just like, we should be concerned about chocolate, right, like donuts, whatever. [00:06:48] But in terms of energy, in terms of actually needing transition away from fossil fuels, in terms of climate change, chocolate is gonna be at risk, right? And I know we're not necessarily talking about that, but climate change is canceling food that we like. [00:07:03] If there was a way to package that for the far right. But of course they'll blame trans athletes for the lack of chocolate in the future. But can we understand that everything we enjoy in life and a lot of that is food. And, yeah, chocolate goes and on donuts. [00:07:20] That is at risk if we don't actually change our energy production. >> Year 100%. I'll close with this. At one point, we did a roundup of all of the things that climate change is set to basically make either too expensive or impossible. If Michael Bloomberg had tried to ban all of the things we won't be able to have [00:07:39] because of climate change, Fox and Friends would literally never talk about anything else. >> Speaker 1: Yes. >> But when it's a natural consequence of the policies that they are advocating for, suddenly it's not even worthy of conversation.
