Chris Matthews doesn't seem to know that wood comes from trees, or that the U.S. did a lot more logging before environmentalists tried to shut it down in order to protect the spotted owl.

Owls could go live in his brain.
Lot of dead wood in Congress.
He’s playing to his audience. They don’t know any better, stuck On stupid
Gone are the days of “Wood, the renewable resource.”
Chrissy was well known for liking his alcohol.
I found this...

Just like the idiot leftists who think meat comes from the grocery store.
Maybe foreign countries were behind it (China maybe?)

A few years ago, a local father shot an alligator that somehow ended up in his creek way north of where they are normally found. His children played in that creek and he thought it was a danger.
Instead of SSS, he notified the local sheriff’s department thinking the sheriff would issue a warning to county citizens to watch out for alligators. Big mistake. Big Big mistake. They notified the game warden and it went downhill from there. I think he finally ended up avoiding prison; but just barely. Most of the time, SSS is the best thing you can do.
Trees are really big weeds. If we cut some down and replant, our grandchildren can cut the next crop. As it is right now, we are leaving the trees to be burned in wildfires.
Because we’re really smart.
I had forgotten about the spotted owl
I do remember that I didn’t give a hoot at the time
HAHA, spoken like a true city boy. Chris Matthews born in Philadelphia PA
So the Libs shut down logging to save the owls and thus the planet but forget that forest fires happen more often when trees are not cut down….. so 6,800 homes in Palisades are gone thanks to the owl. The question on everyone’s mind is “does anyone give a hoot”?
I saw that clip, with all the trees behind him he didn’t seem to have a clue how we could possibly make our own lumber.
“Trees are really big weeds”...you are SO RIGHT. I am doing spring yard/property cleanup...tree sprouts everywhere. Fir, cedar, hawthorne, etc...and then there i are English Laurel, holly shrubs44
What a f’ing moron! He is, therefore, the perfect representative of the Left - woefully uninformed about how the world works, yet incredibly self-righteous and arrogant.
