Music aside, the framing of his rant seems really odd. Are there many millennials saying "it costs money so we can't do it" while watching a 20-minute Green New Deal video by John Oliver? Or do you think it is their parents (and legislators/lobbyists that are Bill's age) who wouldn't watch Bill or John that are blocking action or denying that it's a real problem?

This millennial says yes, it does cost money, so we shouldn’t do it. The corporations responsible for shaping the world we live in to ensure their own success are the ones that should! Get BP, Shell, the companies that ship things on giant container ships, the factory farms, etc. etc. to pay for it all.

Lord knows I can barely afford rent.
