I'm sure I didn't miss anything important.

No, nothing newsworthy.

In mid March, Former President Donald john trump sat down with the full send podcast for nearly an hour.

Why?

Who knows?

It does have more than one million Youtube subscribers.

And the likes of Donald trump JR and Maga favorite Candace Owens have appeared on it, worth noting now during that hour long conversation, the topic of Ukraine and Russia's invasion came up, which led to this exchange between host Kyle for guard and the 45th.

What do you see happening next then?

Because it seems like the tensions are high.

What?

How does this all end?

Is this gonna be like a long term thing?

How do you see it unfold?

Well, And I said this a long time ago.

If this happens, uh, we are uh playing right into their hands.

Green energy.

The windmills, they don't work.

They're too expensive.

They kill all the birds, they ruin your landscapes.

And yet the environmentalists love the windmills and I've been preaching this for years.

The windmills and I had them way down.

But the windmills are the most expensive energy you can have and they don't work.

And by the way, they last a period of 10 years and by the time they start rusting and rotting all over the place, nobody ever takes them down.

They just go onto the next piece of prairie or land and destroy that.

That is real quote.

Not a joke.

When asked how Russia's invasion into Ukraine ends the former president of these United States went into a riff on windmills and how they don't work.

Yeah, sidebar.

That video was ultimately removed from Youtube because it contained election disinformation reacting to the removal trump compared the move to information suppression in Russia on Ukraine.

He said, quote, are we going to allow this to happen?

Our country is going to help.

While trump's response is super weird given the question that he was asked, it's not an uncharacteristic riff for trump.

He's been consistent on very few things in his life, But his hatred of windmills is definitely one of them a quick bit of history when Trump bought land in Scotland to build a golf course and resort, he opposed the plan to build wind turbines off that country's coast quote, I want to see the ocean.

I do not want to see windmills Trump said in 2006 in a speech to the Scottish Parliament in 2012 Trump went even further.

I am an expert on tourism.

If you dot your landscape with these horrible, horrible structures, you will do tremendous damage.

Many countries have decided they don't want wind because it doesn't work without massive subsidies.

It kills massive amounts of birds and wildlife and there are lots of other Trump eventually lost that fight as 11 wind turbines were built in 2018 Trump was ordered to pay the Scottish government's legal bills for the wind turbine fight in 2019 Trump also frequently criticized windmills during his presidency.

In a 2019 speech to house Republicans Trump said the following, if you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations.

Your house just went down 75% in value.

And they say the noise causes cancer.

In February of 2022, Joe Biden made light of that comment in a meeting with energy executives, are you getting less resistance when you start talking about when and and the windmills?

I know they cause cancer a bad joke.

I shouldn't kid about that.

I shouldn't have kidded sidebar.

I can't believe I have to say this, but the noise from windmills does not in fact cause cancer then there was this 2019 trump screed against you bet windmills I never understood winded.

I know windmills very much.

They're noisy.

They kill the birds.

You want to see your birth graveyard and you just go take a look a bird graveyard.

Go under a windmill someday.

You'll see more birds than you've ever seen ever in your life.

So yeah, he he really doesn't like windmills.

Now, what was trump?

Trying to say in his response to that question on Ukraine?

Well if I had to hazard an educated ish, guess he wanted to talk about how America has to become more energy independent.

A point on which he and President joe biden agree.

So they are less dependent on oil from countries like Russia and Iran.

And that process of energy independence has been slowed by liberals who are pushing for green energy rather than more fossil fuel driven energy.

But man, they're a whole lot of collisions of thought in trump's answer.

Just major logic gaps and you know, lack of explanation for what he's actually saying.

All I know is that donald trump thinks windmills are bad, like really bad and that it's the point.

We make new point episodes every Tuesday and thursday check them all out.
