"Fox & Friends Weekend" co-host Pete Hegseth called out liberal media pundits for bringing up climate change as Hurricane Ian was barreling toward Florida. On "Outnumbered" Thursday, he noted that turning to climate change is the default among the left any time a severe weather event occurs.

The problem is it's always the default. But it's not always right. So it's hotter. It's colder, it's wetter, it's drier, it's worse. It's not as bad. It's climate change. And at that point, you lose me because you're not making a scientific argument. You're making a religious argument.
