GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): The best idea to come out of the climate -- this whole climate argument so far is Scott Pruitt, who offered to say, let's hold debates between scientists all across the spectrum of the climate change argument. It's a brilliant thing because the people who refuse to engage are tipping their hand that their ideas are wrong or they would not -- they wouldn't be scared of testing them. If you're not scared of testing your ideas in a public setting against scientific rivals, then your ideas might have some merit. But if you are going like, “Oh my God, I've been just reading secondary materials and not real studies. I've been going by some phony consensus thing that's been going on, I don't know my crap,” then you're not going to want to debate. So I think they -- Scott Pruitt should be doing these televised debates. I would moderate them, but I'm not going to discount my fee.
