Seth Macfarlane: Global Warming Is America’s Greatest National Security Threat

'I'm going to be brief, because I want to make sure Jim Webb has a chance to talk. (Laughter) That poor guy -- his whole debate strategy was, 'Excuse me, we haven’t gotten our salads yet.' (Laughter)

I want to tell you the moment when, for me, Bernie Sanders won last night's debate. (Cheering and Applause) The question was asked: what is the greatest national security threat to the United States? The other candidates gave answers like, the crisis in the Middle East, the Iran, ISIS, cyber warfare, and offensive tweets -- all legitimate threats to be sure.

But Senator Sanders was the only person on that stage who gave the correct answer: climate change. (Applause and Cheering) Of all of our biggest challenges, from social inequality to health care, this is the one that must go immediately to the front of the line because it is the only one with the non-negotiable timetable.

He's the only candidate who truly--on either side-- truly seems to grasp a magnitude of the catastrophe. You can hear it in his voice when he speaks on the subjects. You all seem perfectly nice. In five years, I don’t want to have to battle you all for water --(Laughter)-- with a sword made out of a rusted selfie stick. I just don't want to have to do that because I'll win.

So while it would be a way funnier if Trump won, it would be far better for the health of the country if Bernie Sanders is the next president of the United States." (Cheering and Applause)
