Dr. Bonner R. Cohen is an environmental scholar and former guest who is back to talk about how the “environmental” movement to ban DDT in 226 resulted in regulatory genocide, killing millions of people. DDT was developed as a pesticide, and Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring sparked fears that it could be a threat to wildlife, especially birds. After DDT was banned, malaria and other mosquito-carried disease spread wildly.

Dr. Cohen addresses how agricultural food production has gone up, directly in relation to an increase of carbon dioxide. This increase is resulting in a greener Earth, despite what the left would have you believe. If we restrict carbon dioxide production, we restrict the ability for things to grow. They consider how a number of the left’s typical policies can be tied back to the idea of eugenics.

The left wants to restrict anyone’s ability to disagree with their faulty science about what is actually good for mankind.

Also on the podcast, Chuck and Mark talk about what happened when Mark went to the protest of Steve Bannon near Detroit. For some footage of the event, visit https://bluntforcetruth.com/anti-bannon-protesters-a-crowd-of-not-so-useful-idiots/.

They talk about people who boycott certain products or movies because of the politics of the company or creator, such as people threatening to boycott Keurig because they advertise on Sean Hannity’s show. Chuck and Mark discuss Roy Moore and the allegations about sexual misconduct.
