Teen Climate Activist from New Zealand Gets OWNED For Her Hypocrisy During Live Interview

This has quickly become one of my top interview moments of the year.

Before we get into the good stuff, here’s a little backstory from the Daily Wire:

A radio interview with New Zealand teen climate activist Izzy Cook went sideways when Heather du Plessis-Allan, Host of Wellington Mornings, challenged the 16-year-old on the reality of her own carbon footprint.

Cook, who helped organize Friday’s School Strike 4 Climate, hit the streets with hundreds of others in Wellington, Christchurch, New Plymouth, and Auckland — where they demanded that the government step up and address climate change “for the crisis that it is.”

“This year for our strike we’re focusing specifically on agriculture,” she said. “Two of our demands are our main focus: ban synthetic nitrogen fertilizers and halving the herd of cows in NZ … the government is just not doing enough.”

I always find it humorous when people take it one step too far during interviews…

They prepare for a line of easy questioning from a reporter that’s going to make them look articulate and knowledgeable about their topic. While that’s the norm in what we’re calling “journalism” these days… every once in a while you’ll get a reporter that strays from this unspoken agreement. It usually makes for delicious entertainment, and this instance was no exception.

And with that… I give you the interview of a lifetime:

One of the highlights for me was the end of the interview where the host attempts to patch things up so she doesn’t get sued for hate speech…

I find this whole back-and-forth thing that we do to be extremely tiring…

People lecture me on my behavior only for them to turn around and do the same damn thing…

Hypocrisy is one of my biggest pet peeves (along with the sound of loud chewing, people getting “triggered” over dumb sh*t, and historically inaccurate film and television portrayals).

Barack Obama, John Kerry, Bill Gates, and Cringe & Ginge (Meghan and Harry) will sit there and lecture us about air travel, rising sea levels, gas guzzling SUVs, and cow farts while doing what? Oh yeah… flying private, buying ocean front mansions, riding in SUV motorcades, and eating red meat.

So… yeah… forgive me if I seem a little hesitant to heed their warnings and take their advice.

The teenage activists, however, I have the tiniest (and I mean tiniest) bit of sympathy for. They’re young, naïve, and preyed upon by politicians and the elite to push an agenda that they don’t really understand. Being a climate activist is the hot new thing. When it no longer gets you internet fame and a free pass to skip school, it’ll fade into oblivion (especially when we’re not all dead in 12 years, as predicted by AOC).

After all, if this is a cause you truly believe in… I don’t think mommy and daddy would have been able to “make” you go on vacation to Fiji…

I wish I had somebody to “make” me go on a tropical vacation… Sounds terrible…
