Starting point is 00:02:10 The Glenn Beck program from the Standing Rock Ranch. Welcome to the program and we welcome Mr. Pat Gray. Hello, Pat. How are you, sir? Oh, perfect. You know, really. Really? Perfect. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Yeah. In every way. Almost. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And Stu is with us. And Stu, how are you? That's fascinating.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Perfect. Thank you for shares. The way you tell a story, Stu, is captivating. Rividing. So let me now go to a piece of audio we had last week. We didn't get to it. I'm sure Pat played it and others have played it. But I don't know what anybody else has said. And I find it absolutely incredible from the 1960s.
Starting point is 00:03:03 Here's a clip from the BBC talking to children who are predict. the future in the year 2000. Now listen to this. I think it'll be people will be regarded more as statistics and as actual people. I don't think it's going to be so nice. I think sort of all machines everywhere,
Starting point is 00:03:25 everyone doing everything for you. You know, you'll get all bored and I don't think it'll be so nice. First of all, those computers are taking over now. Computers and automation. and in the year 2000, they just won't be enough jobs to go around. And the only jobs there will be for people with high IQ,
Starting point is 00:03:45 you know, high IQ can work computers and such things. And other people are just not going to have jobs. They just aren't going to be jobs for them to have. Okay. I would like these kids to run the Fed. I don't know about you, but the thing that I grabbed out of this was, who the hell are these children?
Starting point is 00:04:11 These are children. They look to be anywhere from 10 to maybe 14. The vocabulary, the thinking that is involved in this. They're asked to predict the future, and they're talking about automation, and people won't have jobs. And listen to get into the first one. Play it again. Do you play the first one again, please? Just play it from the beginning and then stop after the first one.
Starting point is 00:04:36 People will be regarded more as statistics and as actual people. I don't think it's going to be so nice. I think sort of all the scenes. People are going to be. How old do you think that kid is? Maybe 10? 10 or 12. If you're watching the blaze.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Maybe 10, maybe 12. People will be regarded as statistics. What 10-year-old says that? What 10-year-old says, could say that even about next year, you know, or 2030. Well, I think people will be regarded more as statistics, that there'll be numbers, that computers will be doing everything, and that will give us a lack of self-worth. We won't be able to have the jobs, just that people who are highly educated know all about
Starting point is 00:05:30 computers are going to be. You know who made this case in the 1990s? Carl Sagan! Carl Sagan made the points that these kids are making. He got it from these kids. If this doesn't, yeah, he did. He stole it from these kids. Damn, if he were lied today, boy, I'd be after him.
Starting point is 00:05:50 What is amazing to me is how our educational system has completely failed us. I can't think of kids that are 10 and 12 years old that talk like this. can you? No, I mean, there aren't adults in the Biden administration that can talk like this. Reason and deduce and come to conclusions like this, they can't, they're incapable of it. It doesn't seem like there's adults in the Biden administration that can talk. Right. Let alone like this.
Starting point is 00:06:21 They don't seem to be able to get through any form of communication. Do we happen to have, speaking of that, do we happen to have the Nancy Pelosi monologue that she tried to explain the inflation? Bill. Listen. November of 2021. Listen. It's incredible. Oh, is it November?
Starting point is 00:06:41 I thought it was from this bill. I just want you to listen and try to tell me what she's talking about when she's discussing a bill that just is in negotiation and passing. We're sending stuff over to the Senate. Well, most of the product that we've done is. Now we may have added in the last era, so. And some of what we added is Senate. to the bill, like a hearing. Bernie doesn't like hearing.
Starting point is 00:07:11 Excuse me, Bernie loves hearing. Mansion doesn't want hearing in the bill and all that stuff. So somebody's Senate oriented, and then we had the family medically. We figured if they're putting things in, then we can put something in, even if Mansion doesn't like it. So we are getting some bird and privilege. I think most of we're getting privileged scrub because privilege struggle is deadless to a bill.
Starting point is 00:07:42 Burdable, it's important you have to take it out but privilege violation can take you out. So we're again getting that as we go along as well. But when we pass a bill then they will see
Starting point is 00:07:58 it in its aggregate and make some... Any concern that any of this is messaging because that they have to take some of those things out regardless, no matter what you send over? You said you weren't going to send a messaging bill. No, no, we're going to send a messaging bill, but we want to be sure that what we send is not birdable or bird bath or privilege scrub. They're the two things. Or privilege scrub.
Starting point is 00:08:28 Exercises, we can engage. Wow. Could we just play the 10-year-old again from the BBC? I think it'll be people will be regarded more as statistics and as actual people Wow Now either Nancy Pelosi is drinking
Starting point is 00:08:52 Which has always been the rumor She's either hammer It's Nancy Pelosi It's hammered dime She's either drinking Or she is losing it. And I'm not sure, I'm not sure which it is, honestly. These guys that are in Congress, this is the oldest Congress, the oldest representation that we've ever had. There's never been a
Starting point is 00:09:23 group of people at this age serving in Washington, D.C., the age of the administration, the age of Congress, the age of Senate. Go home. Go home. You know, it's incredible to me. There's got to be a rule, right? There's got to be an age limit. Not only do I agree with term limits, but I really think there should be an age limit because so many of these people are starting to be significantly compromised.
Starting point is 00:09:59 Nancy Pelosi is one of them. Joe Biden, obviously, is another. You've got two of the three most powerful people in the world who are seriously compromised right now, and we're not doing anything about it. Well, I will tell you that, you know, the average lifespan was in its 30s when we wrote the Constitution. That was, I mean, Ben Franklin was probably double the age of the average American. And how old was he when he died, Pat? I think late 70s. Late 70s.
Starting point is 00:10:37 Okay. I remember in my grandfather's era, you know, people, when they started Social Security, it's because the average age when you died, when a man died, was 61. And so they made it at 65, so most people would not get Social Security. But at least you'd have it in case you were an outlier. Well, now people are living to be 80 and 90 years old. And some people are great. I mean, you know, we both know a heart surgeon that is no longer practicing heart surgery, but he is, he's, you know, running a global organization.
Starting point is 00:11:13 And the guy is 90, Pat, 91, 94. And he is even older than that. He's sharper than I am. Yeah, I think he's 906. He's sharper than I am. So I hate to say that you have an age limit, but you should have common sense and decency. and your family should have common decency. We all know when our parents and grandparents are just not as strong as they used to be.
Starting point is 00:11:44 And we certainly know when they're just incapable of doing things. These people, if they had to drive themselves, I would bet you a lot of the people in Congress that are of her age would have their keys taken away from them. But they don't drive anymore. Yep. It looks like Franklin was 84. Yeah, 84. When he died. 84.
Starting point is 00:12:08 And he was at the Constitutional Convention. Right. He was still brokering deals. He was in a great deal of pain at the time. But he wouldn't take morphine because he said it would, or opium, he said because it would addle your brain. And he wanted to remain sharp. Isn't one of the problems that you're talking about with the age thing, Glenn, like a bigger
Starting point is 00:12:30 issue with just the size and scope of government. Because in theory, right, voters, the reason why Nancy Pelosi is in our lives is because the representatives of some blue district keep voting her in. They have the opportunity to select someone younger and more coherent. They just choose not to, which is not necessarily, I don't think, against what the founders wanted, right? They don't, They didn't care if individual districts made bad decisions. I mean, they wanted them to make good decisions. But if an individual district selects as their representative, someone who the rest of the country doesn't like, that's in theory fine. The problem is that these people wind up running our lives.
Starting point is 00:13:14 If they didn't have all this power when they got to Washington, which they weren't supposed to have, this wouldn't be a problem. It becomes a problem for everyone because Nancy Pelosi has so much of an effect on our day-to-day lives. And she obviously is either drunk or incoherent. all the time. And they thought that the election process would preclude lifetime terms for these people. I don't think they envisioned somebody being elected, you know, 30 times in Congress. I mean, come on. First of all, because it was a pain in the ass. It was such a pain in the ass. That's why they put Washington where it is. It was a swamp. It was mosquito ridden. It was at a time where, You could get malaria from mosquitoes.
Starting point is 00:14:01 So they knew nobody wanted to go. And it wasn't a full-time job. You had other full-time jobs. So you were like, let's get the business done. I've got to go back to work. So they would only meet for a couple of months every year. So it wasn't the way it is now. And also, you know, I go back to America the Beautiful.
Starting point is 00:14:24 One of my favorite lines is more than self, their country. loved. Joe Biden does not care. He is building a Biden empire and a Biden cash machine. And I really don't think he loves the country more than himself. And that is the case with a lot of these people. And they may look at you and say, how dare you say that? But they've convinced themselves that that that is true. And they've said, well, if I'm not doing it, who would? We've got to change the country. We've got to do this. But they're enriching themselves. This is so corrupt. Nancy Pelosi is so corrupt. Joe Biden is so corrupt. Do you really think they care about you and your community if you're struggling, i.e. the new bill that just was passed to reduce inflation that's going to do
Starting point is 00:15:24 anything but and is a tax that begins at 30,000. So you're making $30,000 a year. Next year, your taxes are going up. Is that more than self their country loved? Nancy Pelosi announcing she's going to Taiwan. When we don't do that, you can go to Taiwan, but you don't in her position announce it weeks ahead. You say I'm going on an Asian tour, and then quietly you go, and then when you're done, you announce it as you're leaving. That's the way we always do it.
Starting point is 00:16:06 But she doesn't love the country as much as she loves herself, or she was drunk, or she's just incompetent. Which one is the best? these people should be shamed into retirement. Shame on you for being, you're not clear enough. I know if I'm not clear enough, I would never come on the air
Starting point is 00:16:33 because it would be irresponsible of me. They don't seem to care about it. The question is why, and then the real important question is, what are you going to do about it? Are you going to continue to vote for, I don't care if it's Republican, independent, I don't care if it's the guy I absolutely love. If Mike Lee, for instance, is starting to slip, I'd be the first one to say,
Starting point is 00:17:01 you know, Mike, I don't want to lose this seat, but you got to go. You got to let somebody else that understands at least today's world and is thinking about that, not just thinking about trying to make it through a speech. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program. We are talking now to Congressman James Comer. He is sharing the latest on his investigation into Hunter Biden and the Biden's business dealings. Congressman, thank you for staying with us. Can you tell me who Edward Pruitt is?
Starting point is 00:17:54 Absolutely. He's someone we've just requested information from. We have access to a text message between Hunter Biden. and Mr. Pruitt to where Mr. Pruitt, who was one of Hunter's financial planners, who was coaching Hunter on how to avoid a suspicious activity report, how to avoid getting one of those on an upcoming foreign transaction Hunter was about to make. Now, these transactions that were getting flagged by suspicious activity reports, what flags those are if you do a transaction with a country that's on the sanctions list like
Starting point is 00:18:42 say Syria or somewhere like that, or now Russia, but it wasn't Russia at the time. Or if you do a transaction with someone like a drug lord, if you watch the movie Ozark and you saw the guy was wanting off the list, you know, that that list puts him as a sanction, you know, or if you're doing business with someone suspected of criminal activity. So it could have been where Hunter was doing business with Russia for prostitutes and things like that, according to the videos and all that other stuff. I don't know that it's illegal to just order a prostitute in a foreign country. Unless that entity is suspected of human trafficking, Glenn, then that would fly. Right, that's a problem.
Starting point is 00:19:32 which is the money that Hunter, with his dad's payments, Hunter was paying a Russian sex ring involved in human trafficking. And that's why they were flagged. And I have to tell you, before I would take any advice from Edward Pruitt, if I'm the president of the United States, I would tell my son, A, stop hiring hookers. The second is, if you're incapable of that, don't hire hookers from. Russia because it's a clear way, Russia and China. They are both known to put people in compromising situations, so they have some way to blackmail our officials. It's happening over and over again. It is, and the date of the text, by this point, Hunter and Arnie received over 140 suspicious activity reports. So the FBI, the FBI,
Starting point is 00:20:32 and the DOJ had to know that he was up to no good. But yet, as far as we can tell, nothing's ever been done about it, which raises the suspicion that Johnson and Grassley have had it. Why hasn't the FBI done something by now? Why haven't they done something? You do all this stuff with the steel dossier, but you don't do anything, which was fake, by the way, or you don't do anything with Hunter Biden,
Starting point is 00:20:57 and you actually have proof, evidence. There's evidence, unlike anything, Adam Schiff ever said this stuff with Hunter Biden. We have evidence of wrongdoing, and yet nothing has been done. And it would lead. Any investigator in Congress to believe, you know, has this put Joe Biden in a compromise situation? Has this put him at a disadvantage with some of our adversaries for the potential of blackmail with his son or whatever? And that's why we're doing this investigation. There is absolutely no way that Putin and the highest levels of the Chinese spy agencies, there is no way that they didn't know about these things. So if we were worried about a golden shower taken by Donald Trump in Russia, which was completely made up, why would anyone think that they haven't used this or wouldn't use this against Joe Biden?
Starting point is 00:21:57 It makes no sense. It makes no sense. And I can tell you, the videos that are on that laptop, some of the stories that we've been told by close associates of Hunter, it's pretty prevalent. There were a lot of transactions made there. And I don't know that's what, we don't know for sure that's which wire that Pruitt was coaching him on, but the fact that Pruitt was coaching him on how to avoid a
Starting point is 00:22:26 suspicious activity report shows that Pruitt knew that Hunter was up to no good, and he was trying to protect him from that, shielding from being further investigated. So we want to know what that transaction was. But whatever it was, it was a foreign transaction. And by everything that we can tell, he had transactions with three main countries. He had transactions with Russia, with Ukraine, and with China. So who is, I mean, China, Russia,
Starting point is 00:23:02 apparently they've never blackmailed. The Russian oligarchs, I would imagine Hunter's business partners and Joe Biden's business partners could use blackmail. I have a feeling that the people that were involved are worried that they're going to be thrown under the bus to get Hunter and the president off.
Starting point is 00:23:22 Isn't the best, line of inquiry would be to give them immunity for their testimony, because they've got to be freaked that they're going to jail and the uppers won't? They are, and another message that the New York Post broke last week was from a James Gillier, who was another one of Hunter Biden's associates. And this was a phone message that was recorded from a person that was worried that they would get thrown under the bus for some of these shady business dealings of hunters that it was coming out the press, and this James Giller replied back, now don't worry, the big guys got our back.
Starting point is 00:24:01 So when he did that, Gildier became the second Hunter associate, along with Bobolensky, to identify Joe Biden as the big guy. And of course, we all know from Hunter's voicemail in his emails that you had to save 10% to the big guy. Now, if that, if that, in fact, makes Joe Biden the big guy, and he was trying to get 10% percent of a Chinese company that, you know, very involved with the Chinese Communist Party spy agency, then that's a huge, huge problem for Joe Biden. So let me go back to Ukraine for a second. The money we sent over, these are just a couple
Starting point is 00:24:43 of things. I don't know if you have the answer, but I hope somebody in Washington is looking into this. The money we sent over suspiciously, as soon as we sent that money over, the president, and Zelensky and their version of Congress to change their mind on gay marriage. And I think this has Samantha Powers' fingerprints all over it. Are we exacting a price for this money? Do you know? Your guess would be as good as mine, Glenn. This administration has not been transparent with anything they're doing in Ukraine.
Starting point is 00:25:20 So could you, I mean, who looks into things like this? that. And also, the oligarch that Zelensky just pulled the citizenship from is the guy that owned Burisma and had dealings with Pravot Bank that we had our missing $1.8 billion in, and Hunter was connected to the bank and Burisma. But also, Joe Biden, through Hunter, got that guy, you were just talking about Ozark, got this oligarch off that. list. He had not come to the United States. Joe and Hunter Biden got him, got that removed so he could have a visa to come here into the United States. And now after we give the money, the guy who, this same oligarch that helped get Zelensky, the presidency over in Ukraine, and was the guy
Starting point is 00:26:19 that Hunter and Joe Biden were involved with. Now his citizenship is revoked. I'm wondering, Why? Do you have any idea on that one? I have no idea, but I can tell you this, Glenn, the oligarchs that the Biden administration has clearly shown favoritism to are two oligarchs who have paid Hunter Biden for who knows what. We'll call it consulting services. Those two oligarchs are going to be the key to answering a lot of questions about potential wrongdoing and quid pro quo and every other. uh... problem uh... legal problem that uh... hunter and potentially his father are gonna have
Starting point is 00:27:01 and that once republicans take the majority in january i hope the department justice before then but i don't have confidence they will well one thing i am afraid of with the department of justice is that they take they try him on something uh... he skates on it and then double jeopardy does that up does that apply to you i hope not we were looking at every we were still going to invent we're still going to have hearings with uh with the associates uh we're going to have hearings with the bankers uh we will try to get as many of the high level people that this
Starting point is 00:27:37 administration has let off the hook the oligarchs you know if if they're in the united states we'll do anything we can to get to the bottom of the truth and these hearings are going to be transparent and and they're going to be a real committee it's not going to be a nancy pelosi handpick committee with everybody that having the same viewpoint this is going to be a legitimate congressional hearing, and we're going to publish a report, and we're going to walk that over and hand it to the Department of Justice. If the Biden, if Biden's still president and the same people are still in control, we're going to be very transparent with the American people on what we publish and what we
Starting point is 00:28:14 expect of this Department of Justice. Well, thank you for that. Is the last question, do you have evidence that the Secret Service, colluded with the Bidens and covered things up, the White House, and do you have evidence that the DOJ was involved and covered things up? I don't have any evidence of that. You know, the Secret Service has been the most transparent agency in a lot of different things that we've been looking into. So we have nothing there with the Department of Justice. I know that Johnson and Grassley, feel like they have a little bit of evidence. That's more of what the Senate's been looking
Starting point is 00:29:01 into. What I've been looking to in the House is more revolved around his banking records. Because once we get these, once we get these suspicious activity reports, they will specifically say what the bank thought. This was a suspicious wire with this person who is sanctioned in Russia, or this person who is sanctioned, or this business who is sanctioned in China. Or we both believe he was money laundering here, or we believe that this was an excessive wire from a country that we're not allowed to do business with. So those suspicious activity reports will be able to answer a lot of questions and take us an enormous way along the path of investigating Hunter Biden's wrongdoing and shady business dealings. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:29:52 Congressman Comey from Kentucky. Thank you for your hard work, sir, and I do indeed hope that you are in charge of the committee and that it is transparent. The American people cannot have closed-door dealings anymore, and I hope you are as transparent as you say you will be. I pray that you have the committee. Thank you so much, sir. Thank you. God bless. Nancy Pelosi and her bar probably some ice cream flew overnight to Asia she's in Singapore or Shanghai
Starting point is 00:30:47 or one of those S countries or cities Wasn't that one of the like Trump was talking about S countries I think? Anyway, she's in one of those and she is not saying if she's going to go to to Taiwan now.
Starting point is 00:31:07 She just won't say she's tight-lipped. And most of that tightness is from the face stretching that she's had done over the years. But she's very tight-lipped now. And it's nice because China said pretty much, you know, kind of like we're thinking maybe an act of war, if you go. But who are we to say? So it's fabulous. And we wish her all the best.
Starting point is 00:31:32 We really do. Now, here is the next story that I think is kind of important. You know, I just told you that Hawaii was, you know, taking themselves out of the coal business. They're not taking any more shipments. And don't worry. The other plants and solar panels, they'll all be done in, you know, two weeks. Don't worry about it. And Europe is in the same exact situation.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Now, here's the good news. people are starting to rethink like natural gas. I mean, that's pretty clean, right? And what about nuclear energy? Ding, ding, ding. They'd already gotten turned off all their nukes and everything else. Now, Russia's back online sending them the gas, but they've, you know, gosh, where did we put that extra 20 percent? So now they're cutting it down by like 20 percent.
Starting point is 00:32:25 And they're not sure if they're going to have, well, they know they're not going to have enough. They're not sure they're going to get anything once it turns to winter with Russia. You know, Russians seem to be, I don't know, a little harsh from time to time. And they're kind of pissed off at this point. And I love this. Coal fire plants are being revived in Germany. Billions are being spent on terminals to bring in liquefied natural gas. And they are looking for any kind of natural gas.
Starting point is 00:32:57 Who has any kind of natural gas? so they could sell to Europe. And we've looked the world over, and we just can't find any country that has natural gas. And gosh, I wish we could help Europe out, but we just don't have any. We have none. So they're on a knife sedge.
Starting point is 00:33:20 The Germany's biggest cities are now saying that they're going to have to reduce, everybody's going to have to reduce their usage, their consumption of energy by 16%. I think that extra 1%, you know, 15%, you know, nice round number, about 15%. They got it down to 16. And so I think that means, you know, do not use a four slice toaster. You can use two, but not four. And you're not allowed to heat your home over 68 degrees.
Starting point is 00:33:55 And you're not allowed to air condition your home. uh below 78 degrees so it's going to be very nice it's going to be very nice uh they're going to have to sacrifice a little bit um the city has also banned the use of mobile air conditioning units and fan heaters and you know i don't know about you but um and i've thought this out a lot because i care about the planet and global warming and what are all these people going to do you know they're going to die from heat and um i have an idea and you think you know you can write this down. Germany, you can take this for free. It's called air conditioning. And I know you want to stop, well, the energy. That one solved natural gas or nuclear plants.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Or dare I say it, coal until you get those things running again. But if you're not going to do that, well, then people are going to die. And there's just no way around that. Yeah. Well, this is a well-thought-out plan. I've been thinking about it for years, Stu. You have been, Glenn, and there's this idea that we can't impact the earth. If you think about things in through that framework, you have a problem. If you think about things in the framework of protecting human life and having human life flourish, you think about things a little differently. Like you wrote in, well, can you imagine, hang on just saying, can you imagine, Stu? What they're saying is global warming, the whole world will be like Phoenix, Arizona. Yeah. Which we know.
Starting point is 00:35:29 has no people, they're all dying of, you know, heat exhaustion and I feel bad for the population. Yeah, they act as if we can't see what a world would be like if there were a lot of heatways. What if you had a community there where you saw triple digit temperatures often? Yeah, well, what if we have them already? We see how people deal with that. They're now trying to make the same point about the Northwest. Well, they don't have a lot of air conditioning. People in the Northwest don't have air conditioning.
Starting point is 00:35:57 People in Seattle don't have it. Yeah, you get some. you wrote an inconvenient book. This is back in the 2006. So this is not you coming up last minute with this solution. When the heat wave of 2003, when the heat wave of 2003 hit Europe, nearly 35,000 mostly elderly people died. The size and scope of the tragedy gave global warming theorists an opportunity to spout their views to almost every news camera on the globe. They claim that events like this justify the EU spending an estimated $1.443 trillion by 2023. which is right around the corner now,
Starting point is 00:36:31 to alter its energy industry enough to possibly avert climate change. A hundred years ago, there was nothing you could do about a heat wave, except stay away from fat, smelly relatives. Now we can do this magic thing called condition the air. 35,000 air conditioners cost about $2.5 million. Or perhaps you can pick a few vacant office buildings that your economy and its double-digit unemployment rates can't support
Starting point is 00:36:55 and turn the AC on, then just fire up a few gasoline, powered school buses and shuttle old people to the air-conditioned facilities, repeat every time it gets hot. It would solve the problem. Yeah, yeah, and it was a tough. I mean, I worked in a think tank for a very long time on that solution. You sure did.
Starting point is 00:37:17 But, I mean, again, that's what the left loves to leave out of this equation. The fact that we can do things to solve whatever issues there might be. So if we do get more heatways, which I don't think is a certainty, but if we do do, then we will deal with it. What is the main thing we're trying to do here when it comes to the climate? The main thing we would be trying to do is to limit the amount of people who die because of the climate, right? That's the main metric you'd think we'd be focusing on.
Starting point is 00:37:45 And you would think we're focused on. Though that chart of how that has progressed has not shown up in any UN IPCC report. We do have it, though, from your book, an inconvenient book. and it shows the rate of death from extreme weather that has dropped by about 99% from 1915 to 2000. In this book, it ends at 2004, though we know the rate has dropped even farther since then. And it's because we've come up with solutions to deal with these things. We've advanced and adapted and made life better for people, yet the left always says the opposite. it. Look, you can quote boneheads like whoever wrote that book. Or you can quote Bill McGuire,
Starting point is 00:38:34 who's just put a new book out last week, Hot House Earth, an inhabitants guide. And he argues that after year of ignoring warnings from scientists, it is now too late to avoid the catastrophic impacts of climate change. And at this point, there's nothing we can do. Now, if I'm writing that book. That's where the book starts. That's where the book ends. You close it. But he found a few other things to say. Now, the University College of London, Earth Sciences, he's a professor there, said that the record-breaking heat waves across the UK and the dangerous wildfires, I mean, that's global warming. And as we headed further into 2022, soon it'll be unrecognizable to every one of us, meaning the world. And I think that's true. It's already
Starting point is 00:39:30 unrecognizable, you know, when people are saying a heat wave is going to scare all of us to death. I'm sorry, burn all of us to death if we don't die in the fiery flood. So anyway, he's now saying that we have to have zero admission. We have to have it right away. I don't know why we have to because, well, it's too late to do anything about it. I say we take all the money and buy air conditioners myself. However, there are some things that can be done, and that is we'll stop Taylor Swift from flying in a private jet. She is now found out that Taylor Swift, yes, America's sweetheart. her jet, her CO2 emissions, total about 1,200 times more than the emissions from the average person's annual emissions, 7 metric tons.
Starting point is 00:40:34 She's got 1,200 times that. Her jet emits more carbon dioxide than any other celebrity jet. But she says, wait, you can't pin that on me because I lease my jet out. and other people use my chat. I don't use it all the time. You know, it's other people that do it. Well, she can try to get away with it all you want, but we know she should probably be in climate jail.
Starting point is 00:41:08 Along with somebody else, yes, Leonardo DiCaprio. We all know and love him. He was a survivor of the Titanic. Who knew? But he survived, and yet he still has the courage to get onto big boats. Apparently, he's got a vacation record on large, like, 250-foot yachts that is doing a lot of damage to the environment. And the man who took him on was the Brazilian president, Bonsanaro. And this weekend, Leonardo DiCaprio, you know, tweeted about the rainforests and how blah, blah, blah.
Starting point is 00:42:00 And the Brazilian president wrote, hey, you should give up your yacht before you lecture about the environment here in Brazil, okay? He was just pictured on a $150 million yacht. It's the largest manufactured in Britain. It produces about 238 tons of carbon dioxide per mile, per mile. And he said, look, you again, Leo? I mean, I could tell you again, give up your yacht before lecturing the world, but I know you progressives. You want to change the entire world.
Starting point is 00:42:48 but never change yourself. So I'm going to let you off the hook. But between us, it's weird to see a dude who pretends to love the planet, paying more attention to Brazil than to the fires harming Europe and his own country. You know, that's a problem. He says, Leo, unlike the places you're pretending not to see by brilliantly playing the role of a blind man, Brazil is and will carry on being a nation with the most preserves. You can carry on with your Hollywood star toys as we do our job. In my government, the average deforestation is way lower than it was in the past when the crook turned candidate that your Brazilian buddy supports was in power. It's clear that everyone who tax Brazil and its sovereignty for the sake of virtue
Starting point is 00:43:38 signaling doesn't have a clue about the matter. They don't know, for instance, that we preserve more than 80% of our native vegetation, or that we have the cleanest energy among G20 nations. I mean, he goes on and on and on. It's nice to hear somebody fight back and just not take it when, if it's true that they have the cleanest energy among the G20, he should be heralding them. But he's not. Instead, he's on his yacht lecturing everybody and he's targeting Brazil.
Starting point is 00:44:14 Why? Because it's not a progressive candidate that is. currently running the country. Na-na-na-na-na-na.
