Yeah, two people who have zero scientific background are really who I want to listen to on the matter.

It's also amazing how seamlessly they shift from most stories where they talk about government agencies being corrupt/incompetent/liars/etc., but when the Department of Energy has a 1.5-year old report that agrees with their position, all of the sudden it's held up some sort of gold standard and proof of anything.

You see that a lot with populist commentators on the New Left/Right. When you rely on subscribers to pay your bills, you have to give them content that makes them feel like they're smarter than everyone else. So rather than actually providing rigorous, critical insight (because that won't necessarily achieve their goal), they usually just end up descending into contrarianism. It didn't take very long into that clip to realize that they don't really know what they're talking about.
