So much to get to today.
You know, one thing I want to start with the madness, the insanity that is all things Al Gore.
Al Gore at the World Economic Forum is just absolutely positively lost his mind in an unhinged rant claiming we are boiling the oceans.
How many years we need to go back and see when he predicted the planet would be you know burned to the ground or finished.
It should have been over by now, based on his his previous predictions.
Then he says, anyway, the the claims that the boiling the oceans, we're creating rain bombs.
What is a rain bomb?
We're sucking the moisture out of the land, we're creating droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea level.
Anyway, here's Al Gore.
We're still putting 162 million tons into it every single day.
And the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth.
That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs and sucking the moisture out of the land and creating the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea level and causing these waves of climate refugees predicted to reach one billion in this century.
Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million refugees.
What about a billion?
We would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world.
We have to act.
So in answer to your question, I would say we have to have a sense of urgency much greater than we have yet had.
Okay, this man is certifiable.
He's insane.
By the way, there's a story on I think it was Breitbart earlier today.
A French dairy giant is considering cow masking to tackle methane emissions from cows.
That's how insane these people have gotten.
You know, John Kerry.
And by the way, this is bigger than the World Economic Forum.
All this is this kumbaya leftist radical climate change alarmism on a worldwide scale.
You know, you know, it used to be a joke.
People thinking, well, we'll all, you know, put our money in a big pot worldwide and we'll share it with the world, and we shouldn't have rich people.
Wait, wait, do you see the proposals these varying states are working together on to basically confiscate people's wealth in the country as if they don't tax you enough already?
But that these people have lost their minds.
John Kerry literally said, when you start to think about it, it's pretty extraordinary that we, a select group of human beings, because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives, we are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet.
He actually said this, and then he goes, I mean, it's so almost extraterrestrial to think about saving the planet.
And if you say that to most people, most people think you're a crazy tree-hugging lefty liberal do-gooder, uh, or whatever.
There's no relationship.
But really, that's where we are.
That's what they think of themselves.
Now here's the great irony of all of this.
The carbon emissions created because of all the private jet traffic to go to Davos and in Switzerland is through the roof.
There's over a thousand private jets according to reports.
You know, it's this global business political elite discussing how to combat climate change, uh, but their own private jet travel to attend the conference will cause a spike in planet warming carbon emissions.
By the way, they're the ones lecturing all of us about how we should be living our lives.
Well, maybe they could find another mode of transportation that's uh puts out less carbon emissions and lead by example.
Uh, by the way, there is Greenpeace International, according to their study, it's going to cause a spike in planet warming carbon emissions.
That research released last Thursday compiled by uh a Dutch environmental consultant uh group found twice as many private jets flew to and from airports serving Davos during the 2022 WEF meeting compared with an average week,
the carbon dioxide emissions from these extra flights were equal to putting roughly three hundred and fifty thousand uh gasoline powered cars on the road for the same week long period, and the study found that one thousand forty private jet flights in or out of airports near Davos, fifty-three percent uh were shorter than four hundred and sixty-six miles, thirty-eight percent were under three hundred and ten miles, the shortest flight was thirteen miles.
Jeez, they couldn't have taken a car for thirteen miles.
And now on top of that, we find out as a report out today, you know, they now want to fight back against right wing disinformation.
And who do they turn to?
They they turn to the likes of Humpty Dumpty disinformation, one of the biggest crises we as a world follow.
And then Sheila Jackson Lee, you know, wants uh restrictions on freedom of speech in this country.
By the way, there's a lot of speech I find despicable.
Racism is deplorable.
But if you listen to what she's saying, it is a clear violation of our First Amendment.
Whether you like what people say or you don't like what they say.
And I don't like racist people.
But it doesn't matter.
You don't the fur you either believe in the Constitution, you believe in freedom of religion, you believe in freedom of speech, uh, the right of people to peacefully assemble, or you don't.
Anyway, so Humpty Dumpty, well, you know, slammed for his panel on disinformation.
By the way, it's the reason why he's unemployed and unemployment, frankly, unemployable.
You know, you look at this, what is this really all about?
A bunch of arrogant, hypocritical, self-righteous, anti-science lunatics that are getting together that want to change the world in a way that would be unrecognizable and force their views on every single living human being on the on planet Earth,
and they do it with lies and hyperbole and just panic and fear, and a lot of it is rooted just like the new Green Deal in a socialist agenda that has nothing to do with climate change at all.
And the worst part of all of this, the worst part, by the way, Al Gore then claimed that renewable energy is now the cheapest source of electricity in almost the entire planet.
Uh, Al Gore, I challenge you to prove that statement because it's an outright lie, just like boiling oceans is a lie.
And just like your previous predictions have all come false.
You know, I'm tired of the U.S. being a bunch of suckers.
You know, we get sucked into all of these organizations and we end up paying the majority of the freight.
We don't live in Western Europe.
Why isn't Western Europe ponying up the money for Ukraine to fight their battle against Russia?
We don't even need to be involved in that fight, except you know what, when you're targeting innocent civilians, I don't mind some help, but you know what?
Now I mind the help because they're not fighting a war to win a war.
They fight for a stalemate.
And then it becomes a protracted conflict because they don't fight wars to win them anymore.
And I'm not willing to waste our money if that's how they're gonna fight a war, period.
You know, but if you look at all these, you look at the United Nations, and then you look at all the the subunited nations uh monies that go out, you look at America's share for NATO, it is absolutely insane.
You know, if you look at the WHO, which is nothing but a propaganda outlet for, you know, the World Trade Organization, uh $26 million, the WHO, they were the propaganda arm for China all through the entire COVID-19 pandemic, lying, just straight up lying to the world, and we're funding all of it.
Why are we funding the United Nations at all?
Let China have it.
Let China fund it.
We get involved in in stupid agreements like the Paris Climate Accords, where they classify uh our number one geopolitical foe, China, as a developing country, so they don't have to pay the freight for this worldwide climate alarmism panic that's caused by by leftists.
You know, nobody paid attention, but there were articles written that it was Vladimir Putin that was funding the climate alarmists in Germany and other countries for the hopes that they would give up on their own energy production and become reliant on Russia, and it worked.
And that's why they're all struggling this winter to heat their homes.
That's why they're paying 30 to 40% of their income in some cases, annual income to minimally heat their homes, not even comfortably heat their homes.
Why?
How stupid was that?
And now America now finds itself in the same stupid position.
You know, we've given up domestic production of energy.
We've given up the Keystone XL pipeline.
We've given up on Anwar.
Al Gore, as of January 1st, just raised taxes on oil, gas, coal on your own retirement accounts.
He raised it on corporations, hundreds of hundreds of billions of dollars in new taxes.
The same guy that he wouldn't said he wouldn't tax people making under 400,000 a year with the same guy that caused the average household in this country to pay over $10,000 since he's been president in a Biden inflation tax.
Who do you know?
Well, if you raise if you tax oil companies more, gas companies more, coal companies more, who do you think pays that?
Everybody, including the poor, the middle class, and people on fixed incomes.
If you if you tax people's retirement accounts, who gets hurt by that?
Well, the middle class, working class Americans get hurt the most by that.
You know, if you tax corporations, they're not going to pay that tax.
They're going to pass that tax on to you, to us, to we, the American people.
You will pay that tax every time you buy whatever that corporation is selling, whatever service they're providing.
That's just simple basic fundamental economics one-on-one.
I'm tired of us being a sucker nation.
I'm tired of the Paris Accords.
I'm tired of the World Economic Forum.
I'm tired of being lied to by these climate alarmists.
I'm tired of the misleading socialist Green New Deal liars in this country.
The Green New Deal has nothing to do with anything other than a womb to the tomb, cradle to grave utopia.
And socialism, as we pointed out again and again and again, whatever name, whatever form, whatever manifestation it takes on, always ends the same.
People end up poor.
The promises remain unfulfilled.
And then you have to sum up and at the end of it all, figure out how much of your freedom you gave up in the name of false security.
The same government that bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, the same the same government that screwed up the public education system in this country because they wanted teachers' unions' money to get re-elected, and we're going to trust them with free college and college loan forgiveness and a guaranteed government job with a guaranteed government salary with a guaranteed government healthy food and a guaranteed uh health care system and a guaranteed retirement system and
a guaranteed we'll we'll bury you when you die system.
But you might not get the medicines you need because, well, you're too old, we ran out, it's too expensive.
That's what happened in Great Britain.
Don't think it can't happen here.
Why do all these people from Canada with a single payer system, why do they flock to America for a lot of their medical care that's all out of pocket?
Because they don't like the single payer system, and they don't want to wait nine months to get the heart surgery that they need immediately.
So insane.
800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I'm tired of us being a sucker country listening to the likes of this arrogant John Kerry, the arrogant Al Gore, the idiot, you know, Humpty Dumpty, you know, the disinformation expert himself.

World Economic Forum for the arrogant, radical, socialist, one world government elitists.
Listen.
We're still putting 162 million tons into it every single day.
And the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth.
That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs and sucking the moisture out of the land and creating the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea level and causing these waves of climate refugees predicted to reach one billion in this century.
Look at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come from just a few million refugees.
What about a billion?
We would lose our capacity for self-governance on this world.
We have to act.
So in answer to your question, I would say we have to have a sense of urgency much greater than we have yet had.
Let's go back to the year 2014, the same Al Gore and making another prediction.
And these are figures that are fresh.
I don't know if they've been I don't know when they were released, but I just got them yesterday.
From uh from uh Dr. Vashlov Maslow Maslowski at the Naval Postgraduate School, and this is the volumetric record of the ice.
And uh some of the models suggest to Dr. Maslowski that there is a 75% chance that the entire North Polar Ice Cap during summer during some of the summer months could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years.
Bob used the figure of 2030.
And the volumetric analysis leads this uh Dr. Maslowski to make that projection.
It was 2022.
That was eight years ago.
He predicted it would happen in seven years.
Linda, has that happened at the Northern Ice Cap?
Is that ever come out?
I don't know.
Over here in, you know, in our world, though, it's 2023.
So I'm even going to take them one step further, you know?
Yeah.
And we're still freezing our ass off.
That's right.
Thank you, Al Gore.
Even down in Florida, you know, uh, it was like 28 and 30 degrees for a significant extended period of time.
And I'm talking about South Florida.
We'll continue.
25 to the top of the hour.
Thank you for being with us.
800 941 Sean.

In 2006, Al Gore reported, he was at the Sundance Film Festival with the premiere of his uh movie, The An Inconvenient Truth.
That years and years ago, I had a big battle with a science teacher at my son's uh when he was in a you know, a long time ago, uh when he was in grade school about showing the stupid movie.
Uh and by the way, what he pointed out, politicians, corporations have been ignoring the issue for decades to the point that unless drastic measures to reduce greenhouse gases are taken within the next ten years, the world will reach a point of no return.
Okay.
Two thousand six.
What happened, Al?
Why would we believe him now?
Why do people believe him now?
Why do people put their faith, their hope, their trust in our government today?
You know, the same liberals that have promised you everything's going to be free, free, free, free, free.
You mean the people that rated the Social Security lockbox, the people that are running Social Security and Medicare into insolvency, the people that destroyed your public school system in many cities and towns.
This the same people that promised you guaranteed health care.
You know, uh keep your keep your plan, keep your doctor, save money.
No, just the opposite happened.
You know that 40 plus percent of the country have only one Obama care exchange option, period.
You know, we've actually advanced, you know.
Uh you can go on a website, Medicare, um, or what do you call it on TV?
Um, medicine on you know, you could call your doctor and have a flip phone out.
Yeah, telemed.
That's what you call it.
Uh, or you can do what Dr. Josh Umber does in Wichita, Kansas, health care cooperatives, 50 bucks a month, unlimited care for an adult.
10 bucks for a kid.
And you walk out with your medicines at a 90% discount because he negotiates directly with the pharmaceutical companies.
How great is that?
And, you know, and then you get catastrophic insurance, which is relatively inexpensive at the highest deductible you can afford.
You have a heart attack, a car accident, a stroke or something terrible.
You're covered there as well.
And it's so much cheaper.
Telemedicine, it's the future.
Quaw health care cooperatives, that's the future.
Health savings accounts, another way for you to save money.
And by the way, maybe you get to the end of your life and you don't spend all that money.
That's money you can give your kids or your give your favorite charity, whatever.
Just unbelievable times we live in.
And we and we fund this crap.
We fund the WEF.
We fund the Paris Accords.
We fund NATO To an extent when they ought to be protecting themselves.
You know, we fund all of this garbage.
The WHO, World Health Organization.
In other words, the Communist Chinese propaganda armor.
We're a bunch of we could be so stupid as a country.
All right, back to the Biden uh document issues.
289 days on vacation since Joe Biden has taken office.
Why is that important?
Well, it's important because the White House had claimed that Biden's Delaware residence was used for official business.
Didn't Jen Saki once say that, Linda?
I'm pretty sure she did.
Oh, yes.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, no, when he's down in Belaware, he's working, we're using it for official business.
Now all of a sudden they're claiming no, no, no, it's only for personal.
You know, what hypocrisy.
Uh listen to Gensaki.
You are president no matter where you are.
Uh, he will conduct his work from wherever he is on any vacation at any time uh he is in Delaware at Camp David or wherever he may be spending time with his loved ones.
Uh he has secure phone uh capabilities, he has staff traveling with him, and I think the American people can be assured that he will continue to press to lower their costs and ensure they have more breathing room.
Oh, okay.
So he works everywhere.
Now they're claiming that it's no, no, no.
He only he doesn't do official business at his house.
Why the change?
The Wall Street Journal, the Justice Department, they considered, but then they rejected a role in the Biden document search.
President Biden's lawyers looking for these classified documents.
We have four separate locations so far that they found them in.
Uh, but they were invited to look along with the attorneys, and they decided against that.
Well, why is that?
Well, there's trust and cooperation.
Donald Trump let the FBI in Bar a Lago's uh residence unfettered access.
FBI agents were in the room where the quote documents apparently were found long before they ever raided Mar-a-Lago.
And instead of taking them, which if that's the law they should have done, they said, Would you mind putting a padlock on?
They said, sure.
And I know Donald Trump.
I guarantee you, he never went and looked at a box, you know, in some obscure room at Mar-a-Lago.
Uh anyway, and then the Justice Department opened an inquiry.
So why didn't they tell us when they knew November 2nd and the election was November 8th?
I'd like to know.
Why didn't they accompany Biden's lawyers and other people that work for Biden that don't even have security clearances?
Why didn't they accompany them even though they had an opportunity to?
Why didn't they raid the Biden residences the way they did Trump?
Because it's special treatment and we don't have equal justice or application of our laws in this country.
It's really that simple.
It's not really that complicated.
Biden's lawyer that discovered the first set of classified documents.
All right, he spoke with federal investigators.
Uh, and you know, when they found the first ones at the Penn Biden Center and the initial phases of the investigation, uh, but also in an interview with this guy, his name is Patrick Moore, uh conducted they they had this, they didn't even write up an official 302 memorializing the conversation with the guy.
What's that?
More favoritism.
What's that?
A dual justice system.
They wouldn't have done that in the case of of Donald Trump.
Remember Jim Comey when he went to Trump Towers?
Oh, there may be compromising Materials out there, you know, in Russia.
You know anything about this?
No, because it didn't happen.
But he wrote down, he gets in his car, pulls out his computer, and writes down everything he remembered about the conversation.
White House claimed Biden's Delaware House was used for official business.
Now they say it's for personal.
You know, Karine Sean-Pierre just as has looked insane this week.
We'll show you on TV tonight.
Uh after dodging all of this, you know, clearly she's not up for the job.
And but this is supposed to be the most transparent administration in history.
I'm just going to be prudent here.
I'm going to let the ongoing review that is happening, this legal process that is happening, let the process continue under the special counsel.
I'm not going to comment from here.
I thought you were being transparent.
Jean-Pierre, clearly not fit for the role.
And uh, you know, uh, but Joe Biden, she said, takes these documents very seriously.
Well, why was he so careless?
Why?
Why?
That's what he said on 60 minutes about Donald Trump after why?
How could this happen?
How?
Why?
How?
Why?
It's irresponsible.
Well, all those adjectives apply to him.
All of them.
And this is where we now find ourselves.
You know, the DOJ said no FBI as they're searching for the documents.
Why do you provide him a s a different standard than you applied Donald Trump?
But justice is not, we don't have equal justice or equal application of our laws.
It's a dual justice system.
It's favoritism for Democrats.
Hillary Clinton got the same favoritism when you know she deleted 33,000 emails.
The same favoritism when she had more top secret classified documents than Donald Trump ever dreamed of on our servers that even Jim Comey acknowledged likely ended up in other countries, enemy countries' hands.
But no prosecutor would ever prosecute.
In that case, no rate of Clinton's home either.
One point five billion dollar deal, Bank of China.
We're not going to go to Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Morgan Chase.
We're not going to go to a real financial firm, Bain Capital, any of these firms?
We're going to go to Hunter Biden the crack addict?
You've got to be kidding me.
Ten days after he goes to China with his dad on Air Force Two, University of Pennsylvania gets $67 million, almost 50 of which came once Biden was out of office, when he had the Penn-Biden Center set up.
And by the way, since then we've now found out Since Biden's inauguration, UPenn, they got 51 million more dollars in foreign funding.
14 million from unnamed contributors in China.
Why are they always anonymous, these Chinese nationals?
Hong Kong gave 2.4 million unnamed contributor, unnamed contributors in Saudi Arabia, Department of Education Records viewed by the Washington Free Beacon.
The school also got a million dollars from the a source in the Cayman Islands.
You know, the names of the new foreign donors are being kept under wraps by the Biden administration's Department of Education, which is a departure from prior administrations that would publish this information in an online database in American universities that receive university grants are required by law to disclose their overseas funders to the government.
You know, and by the way, the FBI can save Joe Biden's ass, and they're gonna do it.
Miranda Devine, not wrong on this.
You know, just like they did with Hillary Clinton.
You know, the agency waits until the end of the investigation in 2016 to question Clinton, you know, even though the inspector general criticized federal investigators, even made referrals in the IG report.
This is IG Horowitz.
He talked about rapport building, if you recall with Team Clint Hillary, instead of using subpoenas to compel discovery of key evidence, the IG recommended possible disciplinary penalties for five specific FBI employees who sent blatant anti-Trump texts, some of those agents later staffed special counsel Robert Muller's investigation into Trump.
We'll have Jim Jordan on later in the program.
The FBI needs to be knocked down and rebuilt from the ground up.
It's got to return to its status as the world's premier investigative body or you know, otherwise, what's the point?
We're gonna spend our time what, investigating moms and dads at like Linda at a school board meeting because Linda gets a little loud.
That's just my default.
Listen, don't call me when you get you one phone call for being you know charged with domestic terrorism because you disagree with teaching or allowing kids information on transitioning without their parents' permission or CRT or whatever.
I'm not a I'll just be your last call on TV.
I got the best story ever.
If classified documents are fine at Biden's place, if they're no big deal, who wrote this?
Rachel uh Marsden.
Let's see them.
It's not what's no big deal.
Let's see them then.
It's not a big deal.
Unclass, declassify them, and let's see them.
And Biden, of course, acted like an idiot, didn't even remember Kamala Harris's name takes a knee, kneels down.
I mean, it's so bad.
These investigations, we'll check in with Jim Jordan later in the program.
It is it is heartbreaking.
Department of Justice decided to keep the FBI out of the Biden document search.
Why?
Why are you treating this differently than Trump?
Kareen Jean-Pierre won't say whether Biden's lawyers are still searching for more documents.
Why?
We have a right to know.
Like we had a right to know before the midterms.
Although by that point, it was what, four weeks, six weeks of voting in many states.
That's why we should have one election day.
It should be a national holiday.
More than three quarters of Americans want Biden's documents scandal investigated.
They understand the severity of it all.
Upenn collects all this money, 14 million in new funding from China.
Why is China giving all this money to the Bidens?
I think the answer is clear.
Why is Russia giving all this money to the Bidens and doing business deals with Hunter, a crack addict who frequents ladies of the night?
Why?
Why Ukraine giving them millions of dollars with no experience?
It's clear.
It's classic, you know, influence peddling.
Biden won't even commit to cooperating if the special counsel wants to talk to him.
Jim Comer's demanding that the UPenn Center turn over their records of all these Chinese donors.
And he has every right to.
It's a national security issue.
They are our number one geopolitical foe.
Even Obama's ethics czar is calling the Biden classified document scandal inexcusable.
Walter Staub is uh Shaw is his name.
Anyway, he said it reflects an inexcusable neglect of the most basic security protocols.
The fact the White House didn't mention that records were found in more than one location when first asked about them was a breach of trust with the public and a self-inflicted wound.
That's the nice way of saying it.
Anthony Blinken ran away as far as he could.
Oh, I don't know anything about these classified documents that he kept at the UPenn Center.
Not me.
Don't ask me.
I don't know a thing.
