Why More People Doesn’t Mean More Help

What if the fastest way to heat the planet isn’t a smokestack but a policy that moves millions into high-emission lifestyles overnight? We follow the numbers most headlines skip, testing the feel-good claims about “cheap labor,” climate solutions, and the real drivers of inflation and public strain.

I share why more workers don’t always fix worker shortages, especially when each new arrival adds heavy demand for housing, food, schools, transport, and health care. We explore the uncomfortable climate math: a dramatic jump in per person emissions when people move from very low-energy economies to a high-energy society built on cars, logistics, and 24/7 services. Scale that across tens or hundreds of millions and you get gigatons of added greenhouse gases—enough, I argue, to help explain rapid Arctic melt and ecological stress. Along the way, we separate values from outcomes, asking whether popular policies actually reduce emissions or just shift them into a bigger footprint.

We also unpack inflation through first principles. When demand surges faster than output and key supplies tighten—think shrinking cattle herds—prices rise and consumers substitute from beef to pork to chicken. Blaming a single politician misses deeper forces like population spikes, cash-like benefits, and capacity limits in clinics, classrooms, and infrastructure. Then we tackle welfare and morality: the difference between voluntary and involuntary poverty, why coerced redistribution breeds resentment, and how that shapes voting incentives. On energy, we confront tradeoffs: carbon reduction matters, but so do birds, whales, and landscapes. If clean power kills trust by ignoring costs, support collapses when it’s needed most.

By the end, you’ll have a clearer map of how migration, emissions, labor markets, and public finance fit together—and why slogans can’t carry the weight of real-world systems.

Mission Of The Show

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. This is Larry Dorning. This podcast will be called The Last Train to Freedom. And after you've heard a few podcasts, you'll know what I mean. I believe that we are in our last opportunities for freedom in this country if we don't do something about what's happening. Today I want to talk about mainly issues that I believe the Democrats are mistaken about. And I'm gonna there's there's basically two basic issues, and I'll discuss that today primarily. So this podcast is primarily devoted to Democrats, but also I'd like for conservative Republicans to listen. And then the next three podcasts will be primarily for conservatives, and I will try to have one a week. You might want to try to check it out on Spotify or Apple. I imagine that's where it will be mostly.

Who Larry Is And Why Speak

SPEAKER_01 1:05

And uh so I hope that I'm hope I make an impression today about some things that perhaps many Democrats are mistaken about because uh one of the issues that I'll be talking about with them is the issue of global warming, and I am in agreement with the Democrats. That's not the issue, the issue is how to deal with it. I'd like to tell you a little bit about myself so you'll know what my experience is. Um I'm a Tennessean, born and raised up here. Uh went to undergraduate school in Memphis, received a Bachelor of Business Administration from Memphis. It called Memphis State at that time. A couple three years later, I received a law degree from you from Memphis State. Um shortly after that, I took the Tennessee bar exam, passed it first time, and practiced uh in Tennessee for over 30 years. Um after I'd been practicing for several years, I decided I might move to Florida. So I went to Florida and took the Florida bar exam, passed it on first attempt, but I never did move to Florida. I remained in Tennessee, practiced law over thirty years, practiced in all the different jurisdictions, um all facets of uh litigation, including civil, criminal, federal court, state court, dozens and dozens of different categories of the law, uh including dram shop, uh workers' compensation in federal court, uh, personal injury and dozens more. Um I've been listening to talk show, conservative talk shows for many years. And when you get a certain age, you decide that you're tired of hearing about what the problem is and you want something done about it, and that's a stage I'm at now.

The “Cheap Labor” Misconception

SPEAKER_01 3:31

But today's uh podcast is going to deal with uh two issues that the Democrats talk about, and I believe they're either uninformed completely or they're intentionally pretending to be. One of them is the value of the labor of an illegal alien. All you hear anymore is the Democrats saying we need to let the aliens in because they are needed, their labor's needed. They contribute to the workforce. And the problem with that is it's it's um it's the actu actually it's the problem and not the solution to allow the aliens in to work is the problem with regard to the shortage of labor. When an alien moves into our country, that alien if if he gets a job pretty quick, he's able to contribute a very little amount of work each day. I refer to it as a peddling amount. He might work for a landscaping company, uh mowing three or four yards a day, or any number of other things he might be doing, but the real problem with him is that when he comes to America, he creates the need for dozens of people to assist him with him getting the goods and services that he needs and that he wants. Um hundreds of people are required to furnish him with a vehicle that he might buy, apartment that he might rent, schools that his kids might enter, uh medical services, um, and any number of other things that he will need. Uh every time an illegal alien comes in, we our workforce gets further and further behind. We have to have more and more people to take care of his needs. And uh so uh this conception that when he comes in, that he's going to be can able to contribute and help with the labor that's needed in our country is just as backward as it can be. He creates a tremendous uh requirement of labor to take care of all his needs. And so uh we need to get that notion out of our head that he's actually contributing anything. He is able to do very little work in a day's time to contribute anything. There have been studies done about how many years it would take a person like that to pay enough tax to take care of his needs, his uh burden on the school system and medical profession, hospitals, and all that, and he never and that person can never uh do enough work and pay enough taxes to pay for all of his goods and services that he needs. So um I hope that the Democrats will rethink their position on this. I I hope they will a lot of them will hear this um podcast because uh uh they are in they're just as wrong as they can humanly be about that uh issue. Uh another thing I want to talk about today is the Democrats' conception of what the problem is concerning global warming.

SPEAKER_00 7:50

You know, ALC and her buddies, they all blame Trump and and the Republicans for increasing global warming. And uh

Services Burden And Net Costs

SPEAKER_00 8:05

I'd like to discuss that just a minute.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

Uh global warming is uh basically the complete fault of the Democrats as far as what has taken place in the last few years, and I'll explain that. Uh, all over the planet we have millions of aliens that are coming out of third world countries uh and they're moving to developed countries, and you would not think that that would have anything to do with global warming, because greenhouse gases travel all over the earth, so you would think that they would create just as much problem in Somalia or Haiti as they would in let's say Minneapolis. The problem with that is it's it's completely wrong. Um I've heard many estimates of how many illegal aliens we have in our country, uh all the way up to forty million. But let's just say for discussion purposes, let's say it's twenty-five million.

unknown 9:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

So how many tons of greenhouse gases does a person emit in let's say Haiti? Okay, that person is going to emit an average of about one half ton a year.

SPEAKER_00 9:56

All right. So what happens when that alien comes in from Haiti to the United States?

SPEAKER_01 10:05

Does his emission of greenhouse gases change? Yes, it changes drastically. What happens is the average per year emission of greenhouse gases by an alien that enters the United States normally jumps up to about seventeen tons per year. Now, if you take the difference between seventeen tons and one half ton, that's huge. But if you multiply, let's say, seventeen tons by twenty five million illegal aliens that are here, uh then what do you get? You get about four hundred and twenty-five million tons of greenhouse gases. Okay, that's astronomical. Now, I have read where there's approximately three hundred million illegal aliens worldwide that have traveled to developed countries. So if you take three hundred million people and you multiply that by seventeen tons, you're gonna come up with over five billion tons of greenhouse gases. Now the problem is that the migration of illegals occurred over a relatively short period of time, and all of a sudden the polar ice cap started to melt, and people got concerned about the polar bears. The cold water fish in the North Atlantic got all kinds of problems with the environment and ecology, and uh so nobody thought to determine where all the sudden melting of the polar ice cap came from. But when you have a sudden influx of three hundred million aliens worldwide, then

Migration And Emissions Jump

SPEAKER_01 12:35

you have a sudden impact on the global warming. I agree with the Democrats that there is global warming. So you don't have to worry about disagreeing with me about that. I don't have any question that human beings are the problem in this world. And eventually we're gonna have to decrease the population by probably around 50% to get a handle on the problem. But right now it's the suddenness of the invasion of alien and our country that has increased the production of greenhouse gases by at least seventeen fold. That's the ca that is the direct result of the Democrat policies of allowing the aliens to come into our country. You can't blame it on Joe Biden. Before Joe Biden was elected, he told everybody that he was going to allow the aliens to come in unchecked.

SPEAKER_00 13:48

So everybody already knew that.

SPEAKER_01 13:52

You know, we all like to blame politicians, presidents, congresspeople for all the problems, but the way I see it, the problem in this country is the voters. They're uninformed. You've got you've got people who can't spell cat essentially running the country because they run to the polls and they vote for every Tom, Dick, and Harry that looks to that's handsome or very attractive, or that promises them some sort of a public benefit. You know, the the welfare situation in the United States is undoubtedly the engine that drives the Democrat Party. Without welfare, you wouldn't have millions of people voting for the Democrat candidates. The only reason they vote for them is because they're expecting to be paid off.

SPEAKER_00 15:01

Everybody knows that. And unfortunately, I believe that a lot of the minorities have voted for Trump because they are afraid that the aliens are gonna get what they're entitled to. Not because they like Trump.

SPEAKER_01 15:24

So what are we gonna do about the global warming problem? Everybody's running down ice. Ice is trying to help the global warming problem by sending the aliens back to the third world hell holes that they came from. And uh, you know, it would be nice if if uh things could work out to where 40 million people could flood the United States, but it it's just not possible. And even though we would like to be nice to those people, I agree with the Democrats that global warming is a much more important issue. So it's time we send the aliens back to where they came from. That's the only solution. Because worldwide, 300 million aliens are putting out the equivalent of about 800 coal power plants. A typical coal power plant will put out about six million tons a year of greenhouse gases. And when you divide six million into the amount of gases that 300 million aliens are putting out, you'll come up with around seven, eight, nine hundred coal plants, something in that range.

SPEAKER_00 17:02

And so it's no wonder that the polar ice cap is melting and it's it's going quickly.

SPEAKER_01 17:10

The poor little seals, of course I'm concerned about them. And I know the Democrats are concerned about them, but AOC either doesn't know what the facts are, or she does know, and she is not telling her constituents because she knows they will not vote for her and her candidates. But I'm telling you what the facts are about global warming

Global Numbers And Climate Impact

SPEAKER_01 17:42

and about greenhouse gases. Um, you know, another thing about the aliens coming in, of course, I have a degree in business. I've studied economics. Uh everybody knows that when you have massive numbers of people all of a sudden demanding groceries and houses and cars and gasoline and medical services, when you have that happen suddenly, then you have a massive increase in inflation. You have uh uh there's more demand because everybody's got money. Everybody's got more money to buy groceries, and if they don't have it, the government will give them snap groceries. And uh so the idea that Donald Trump is responsible for the inflation in this country is a joke. In the first place, the the cattle herd in this country is at the lowest level, I understand, in many decades. Anybody can tell you when you have a decreased supply of beef that the price is going to go up. It will go up to a point where people will substitute. They'll substitute pork for beef. And when it goes up even more, they'll buy chicken. These are economic principles that students are taught in the on the first day in business economics class at the universities. So the uh the notion that Donald Trump is responsible for inflation is laughable. And uh the Democrats are putting out uh that uh theory because uh they don't want to give Donald Trump credit for anything. They want him blamed for everything. And so uh that's another problem of misinformation that I wanted to talk about today.

SPEAKER_00 20:02

Uh looking at my notes here.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

We've talked about this misconception about the aliens providing cheap labor. We've talked about greenhouse gases, and we've talked about inflation.

SPEAKER_00 20:29

Um I've heard Democrats say, well, it's God's uh commandment that um people supply the needs of the needy. That's a requirement. Okay, I want to talk about that in just a minute. Um that's wrong. Uh God talks about people who won't work.

SPEAKER_01 21:02

He says if they won't work, they don't eat. What does that mean? That means if you don't eat, you die. Now, if you don't eat, if I'm not responsible for giving you all the food you want, it's for sure I'm not responsible for giving you medical services and and a place for your kids to go to school. So who are these poor people then that we're supposed to provide assistance to?

SPEAKER_00 21:32

All right, let's talk about what the word poor uh involves.

SPEAKER_01 21:38

There's two kinds of poor people, and that's where the catch comes in. There's a class of poor called the voluntary poor.

SPEAKER_00 21:52

The voluntary poor are people who are not willing to work. They're alcoholics, they're drug addicts, they're thieves.

SPEAKER_01 22:05

They want to sit on the sofa and eat chip and dip. This is the voluntary poor. Are we responsible to help those people? No. God makes it clear that if a man won't work, he doesn't eat. So who are the poor people that we're supposed to help? It's the involuntary poor. The involuntary poor are people who are poor because of their circumstances. They may work hard, but because of medical problems or disabilities, they simply

Policy Blame And Voter Behavior

SPEAKER_01 22:45

can't work enough to make make a living. And God says, baby, if you can, you need to help those people.

SPEAKER_00 22:54

Now the real issue comes in to help those people, does God suggest that our goods and services are to be taken from us in the form of taxes and given to the poor people?

SPEAKER_01 23:19

I like to point out that there's nowhere in the Bible that provides that any money by force shall be taken from anybody to give to be redistributed to the poor. In other words, helping the poor is totally voluntary. And our policy in the United States of taking money in the form of taxes from people at the point of a gun, if necessary, that's all wrong. It's all supposed to be charity. And the reason why we resent the poor being on snap payments and all and all kinds of welfare, and incidentally, there's over a hundred kinds of welfare. The reason why people resent that is because it's done by force. This is all anti-biblical. And uh I don't know that anybody has pointed that out, but there's nowhere in the Bible that I know of that authorizes that. Um what are we going to do about the welfare situation with the poor people? There's over a hundred programs, as I just said, and you've got about sixty percent or sixty-five percent of the able-bodied people in this country that won't work are on welfare. They can work, but they won't. And therefore, the welfare program in this country is the biggest fraudulent scam in the country. And the reason the Democrats are insistent that their candidates be elected is because they want to keep that money coming to the Democrat voters because it's payoff. They have they stand no chance of being elected unless that money continues to come in to the 65% of the welfare recipients that are able body and can go to work. So uh those are a few things that I wanted to discuss.

SPEAKER_00 26:01

Um

Inflation, Supply, And Demand

SPEAKER_00 26:07

the notion that uh AOC and people like her continue to put out false information about global warming and about the worth of the labor of a illegal alien, they're putting that out to simply get votes. They uh it's all for the purpose of keeping power.

SPEAKER_01 26:39

And uh you know, so it's a shame that the Democrats are willing to completely destroy the planet with the global warming that's created by three hundred million aliens worldwide. It's a shame that they put their lust for power ahead of the planet. Now, I'm not saying there's three hundred million aliens in the United States. I've seen figures of anywhere from twenty to forty-five million. So we know it's somewhere around. I've I've used the number 25 million to come up with the figure of 425 million tons of greenhouse gases. I don't think it's uh unreasonable to use a figure of 25 million because they've been coming in for quite a few years. And uh so uh, you know, we've got Donald Trump trying to get rid of the windmills because not only are they unsightly, but they kill millions of birds. They disrupt disrupt the paths of uh whales. They're killing some whales, I understand. And you would think that the Democrats who are supposed to be for conservation and protection of the environment would be in agreement with Donald Trump about windmills. But the reason they're not in agreement is because they tie that in with clean with a clean environment. But uh I don't think that killing millions of animals is what I call the product of a clean environment. So I hope that uh the Democrats will go over these points, and and you're gonna have to make a decision. Nobody's gonna argue with me about the output of an illegal alien as well as the rest of the population of 17 tons of greenhouse gases a year. Some say 16, some say 18 tons. I just cut it down the middle and said 17. Nobody's gonna argue with me about that. And nobody's gonna argue that when you come out of a country, a third world country, where the only thing you do all day is start one fire to cook you a meal, uh, nobody's gonna argue that you're not creating any greenhouse gases to amount to anything. I understand in Haiti it's about a half a ton. Nobody's gonna argue with that, and nobody's gonna argue that when you get to our country, it jumps from a half a ton to 17 ton. And when you multiply that by 25 million, you've got a major catastrophe. And you can see it right now, the polar ice cap is melting, their ships are going through, it's a national security issue of that polar ice cap melting, and the poor little seals and polar bears are dying. We have millions of tons of cold water fish in the North

Welfare, Work, And Morality

SPEAKER_01 30:21

Atlantic and all up through there that are gonna be killed because of the cold uh water no longer being cold. And so I hope that uh the Democrats will reconsider their position and finally realize that ICE that's moving these aliens out of here is not your enemy. It's your friend.

SPEAKER_00 30:49

If you love the planet and you love our environment, you need to be for ice.

SPEAKER_01 30:58

And you need to understand that sending an illly illegal alien back to his country of let's say Somalia, it's may not be something that's uh we all like to see, but it's it's necessary. It's simply no way that we can burn the candle at both ends in this country by having all these millions of people come in here and all of a sudden start burning the candle at both ends, driving cars, living in houses, going to the doctor, uh schools, millions of millions and millions of manufacturing parts are required for hospitals, schools, highways, uh, doctors' offices, all the demand on Medicaid and food stamps. So even though we would like to be able to keep the aliens here in this country, we're gonna have to send them back. And the sooner the better to save this planet. Now, the next three podcasts that I'm going to uh present are going to deal with an entirely different subject. This first podcast was directed not only to conservatives but to liberals, Democrats, because they simply haven't been told the truth about the value of an alien's labor and about the harm that an alien is doing to the environment. So this first one is directed to everybody. Beginning with the second podcast, I'm going to propose changes to the way of life that conservatives have lived in this country for 200 years. The party's over. We can no longer continue to live the way we have for the last 200 years. Uh the crime, you can't go anywhere without being assaulted. Carjackings, murder. Um people are afraid to get out of their houses. You can't walk, you can't go on a walk in most places without fear of being assaulted. We're going to talk about how to change the lifestyle of conservatives. Um we don't there's no no need for the Democrats to uh listen to that podcast, the next three podcasts, because uh we have nothing in common. Conservatives and Democrats have nothing in common, really. We can't live with each other. Democrats hate us, uh they are uh uh boycotting our businesses. Uh Democrat restaurants won't even let conservatives in in a lot of instances. So the next three podcasts are basically for conservatives only, and I'm glad that you joined me today for The Last Train to Freedom because we are uh in reality uh at the last days of uh having the type of country that we've had for the last 250 years. So, what I'm going to present in the future is not about changing the country. It's about living and learning how to deal with the complete uh anarchy that's going on right now. We can't change the anarchists, uh the people who won't work and want welfare of all kinds. We can't change them, and I'm tired of listening to people arguing with liberals about uh all of that. It's time to take action. The next three podcasts are going to deal with that. So I hope you will join

Windmills, Wildlife, And Tradeoffs

SPEAKER_01 35:14

me and thanks for being here today to listen to the very first podcast of The Last Train to Freedom. Thank you.
