okay so I went and watched the video again, and still found myself thinking he's a politician first and foremost, all he is saying is democrats bad, republicans good.
I took it plain and simple, just observing -
He sounds like he believes the orbits and solar flares are real information.
He sounds off the cuff as to whether this is affecting our climate.
He sounds like he does not believe the forestry or land management can do anything about it, he is challenging them - 'if you think you can do anything about it I'd like to know', he says.
Then there's the bit where he says these people got 1.something million dollars as their cut on the pine trees and it has gone to, and at this bit he just about swallows his own sentence - 'well one year it was 64 thousand' so I would imagine they have done better on other years and everything he says is just for effect.
