WEBVTT 00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:04.957 When you pass a kidney stone, you very often get excruciating pain and you get 00:00:04.957 --> 00:00:06.697 bloody urine and everything else. 00:00:06.837 --> 00:00:09.537 Well, that's what they're going through right now. So we can't look at it and 00:00:09.537 --> 00:00:12.377 say, oh, the patient's dying, the patient's dying. No, it's a kidney stone to 00:00:12.377 --> 00:00:14.517 them. And they're regrouping. 00:00:16.857 --> 00:00:19.037 You're listening to The Corbett Report. 00:00:22.257 --> 00:00:24.797 Welcome back, friends. Welcome back to another edition of The Corbett Report. 00:00:24.957 --> 00:00:29.377 I'm your host, James Corbett of CorbettReport.com, here in late December of 2025. 00:00:30.017 --> 00:00:33.617 And it's towards the end of the year, and you don't want to hear about doom and gloom. 00:00:33.737 --> 00:00:37.437 So let's talk about a little bit of bright news on the horizon, 00:00:37.437 --> 00:00:40.557 or at least what could be the beginnings of a good news story. 00:00:40.757 --> 00:00:45.177 What you haven't heard yet? Well, you can take the news from headlines like these. 00:00:45.537 --> 00:00:49.877 LA Times op-ed. The left's climate panic is finally calming down. 00:00:50.297 --> 00:00:55.337 Intensity of climate dread is weakening. Elites giving up on the climate catastrophism 00:00:55.337 --> 00:01:00.077 hoax. And the climate cult's dissolution is inevitable. 00:01:00.417 --> 00:01:04.577 Bill Gates stepped away. Most nations offered only empty nods to climate targets 00:01:04.577 --> 00:01:08.457 as Bernie and AOC's climate gospel sidelined. 00:01:08.617 --> 00:01:14.417 And best of all, the COP is over. And it was a total disaster for the climate cultists. 00:01:14.937 --> 00:01:19.537 COP30 roundup, failure of a UN climate summit is great news for humanity. 00:01:20.447 --> 00:01:24.267 Dot, dot, dot. But it might not be over yet. Alert. End times. 00:01:24.487 --> 00:01:26.847 UK national emergency briefing wakes up world. 00:01:27.107 --> 00:01:31.467 Ten of the UK leading experts warn the world of impending climate change disaster 00:01:31.467 --> 00:01:34.247 scenarios that can no longer be ignored. 00:01:34.407 --> 00:01:37.167 A wartime footing is necessary. 00:01:37.387 --> 00:01:39.967 Yeah, there's some crazy stuff happening in the news right now. 00:01:40.087 --> 00:01:44.247 So joining us to discuss this news is previous Corbett Report guest and the 00:01:44.247 --> 00:01:45.567 author of The Great Reset, 00:01:45.727 --> 00:01:49.687 Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown is Mark Morano, who you'll remember 00:01:49.687 --> 00:01:52.927 from our previous conversations. I'll throw the link in the show notes in case you don't. 00:01:53.007 --> 00:01:58.007 Of course, he's at climatedepot.com where I sourced those previous headlines. 00:01:58.327 --> 00:02:02.447 Mark Morano, thank you so much for joining us again today. Thank you, James. Happy to be here. 00:02:03.087 --> 00:02:06.907 Excellent. Well, as people can tell from those headlines and maybe others that 00:02:06.907 --> 00:02:11.187 they've been seeing, there is some big, big change happening in at least the 00:02:11.187 --> 00:02:14.147 public perception of the climate hoax and hysteria. 00:02:14.607 --> 00:02:20.307 And I know that you are a regular annual attendee of the UNFCCC's annual COP 00:02:20.307 --> 00:02:24.527 Summit. So you were there at COP30 in Brazil. Tell us about that. 00:02:25.065 --> 00:02:30.865 Well, first of all, it was one of the more out-of-the-way places that I've ever 00:02:30.865 --> 00:02:32.205 been to a UN climate summit. 00:02:32.485 --> 00:02:41.365 I've been to them in Bali, Indonesia, in Nairobi, Kenya, South Africa, South America. 00:02:42.145 --> 00:02:45.785 I'm trying to think if this was the most, this may have been just the most difficult, 00:02:46.325 --> 00:02:50.645 because you had to fly down to Brazil, and then you had to take internal flights 00:02:50.645 --> 00:02:54.225 to this sort of rainforest jungle city called Balim. Oddly enough, 00:02:54.385 --> 00:02:56.785 it was the second time I'd been to Belém. 00:02:57.165 --> 00:03:04.145 I was there back exactly 23 years ago for a rainforest conference. 00:03:04.165 --> 00:03:09.865 And I had done the Amazon rainforest documentary, clear-cutting the myths about all the environmental. 00:03:10.125 --> 00:03:13.085 If you remember, you used to have Sting's rainforest concerts and all that. 00:03:13.205 --> 00:03:17.085 And you had National Geographic and Hollywood and just X amount of football 00:03:17.085 --> 00:03:20.905 fields a minute. Well, I did a documentary that came out in 2000, 00:03:21.125 --> 00:03:25.865 25 years ago, debunking that with environmentalists throwing down the U.S. guidebooks. 00:03:26.025 --> 00:03:30.385 So I spent some time in both Manaus and Rio and Belém before. 00:03:31.025 --> 00:03:35.965 And this city that they had here was the most ill-prepared. 00:03:35.965 --> 00:03:41.565 I can say that with confidence of certainly of all the 21 out of the last 23 I'd have attended. 00:03:41.565 --> 00:03:49.205 This was a city where local media reporting 80% of the residents didn't have 00:03:49.205 --> 00:03:54.045 access to adequate infrastructure, especially sewage and plumbing. 00:03:54.285 --> 00:03:58.205 And that'll be important later on, that'll be important shortly, as I explain. 00:03:58.365 --> 00:04:02.645 But this city was just a disaster for a UN climate summit. 00:04:02.945 --> 00:04:07.745 It was true, not just poverty, but almost poverty. 00:04:08.321 --> 00:04:12.241 Of primitivism, if you can use that word. I guess that's a colonial word and 00:04:12.241 --> 00:04:14.001 that's considered racist nowadays. 00:04:14.401 --> 00:04:19.941 But it was just infrastructure was completely crumbled, streets with holes, 00:04:20.161 --> 00:04:27.481 crumbling walls on sidewalks, stray dogs and cats, people laying in the streets, dirt unpaved. 00:04:27.681 --> 00:04:32.021 And then you would go to the main strip in Belim and it would be like you know, 00:04:32.281 --> 00:04:36.741 Galleria malls and nice restaurants and high rise and classy hotels. 00:04:36.941 --> 00:04:40.901 It was just, so there was all that going on, but essentially they brought in 00:04:40.901 --> 00:04:43.641 50,000 people to the city that couldn't handle it. 00:04:44.001 --> 00:04:47.801 And it was a just disaster from day one. 00:04:47.961 --> 00:04:50.701 And just, you know, I'll get to the big picture in a second, 00:04:50.841 --> 00:04:52.381 but I just want to go through the logistics of it. 00:04:53.241 --> 00:04:57.521 They couldn't get, you know, plumbing right. And they had a situation where 00:04:57.521 --> 00:05:02.281 world leaders didn't have access to any toilets at the UN summit for six hours. 00:05:02.481 --> 00:05:07.081 This is according to the Irish reporters and Irish media, but this is the day before I got there. 00:05:07.541 --> 00:05:13.681 And then they had massive problems with overflowing toilets and to the point 00:05:13.681 --> 00:05:16.601 where they ended up restricting it with an announcement that people, 00:05:16.981 --> 00:05:20.901 all UN delegates and attendees were no longer allowed to put toilet paper in 00:05:20.901 --> 00:05:24.561 the toilets at this 50,000 seat conference center. 00:05:24.721 --> 00:05:29.901 And by the way, the conference center itself was 88 football fields of Ringling 00:05:29.901 --> 00:05:31.721 Brothers, Barnum & Bailey tents. 00:05:31.941 --> 00:05:35.981 And it was just tent after tent after tent with no windows. 00:05:36.321 --> 00:05:40.101 And they were very poorly constructed. When it rained, you would hear it, 00:05:40.221 --> 00:05:44.801 the wind would move the tent, and you would also get lots of water inside. 00:05:45.021 --> 00:05:48.281 I called it indoor weather modification. And I did videos on that. 00:05:48.401 --> 00:05:52.761 You can go see it on my Twitter account on X or on my website. 00:05:53.041 --> 00:05:55.881 But it was just a disaster. So they had to go, no toilet paper. 00:05:56.081 --> 00:05:58.161 They had major infrastructure problems, 00:05:58.770 --> 00:06:02.710 And this summit ultimately will be remembered as, first of all, 00:06:02.790 --> 00:06:08.710 it was the first time in COP history out of 30 Conference of Parties or UN Climate 00:06:08.710 --> 00:06:11.430 Summit meetings dating back to 1995. 00:06:11.850 --> 00:06:17.210 It was the first one with no official US delegation. So that was significant. 00:06:17.830 --> 00:06:24.010 And because of that, outlets like Newsweek and Politico declared that Donald 00:06:24.010 --> 00:06:26.490 Trump's This decision not to send the U.S. 00:06:26.950 --> 00:06:32.010 Delegation helped accelerate the collapse of this process and this climate summit 00:06:32.010 --> 00:06:36.830 because it gave more weight and gravitas to the BRICS nations, 00:06:37.270 --> 00:06:42.330 Brazil, Russia, and other developing nations who are fossil fuel economies, 00:06:42.550 --> 00:06:47.210 who just asserted themselves without having to, you know, a lot of times a lot 00:06:47.210 --> 00:06:49.310 of countries would either defer to the U.S. or the U.S. 00:06:49.330 --> 00:06:54.010 Would take up all the oxygen in the negotiations. Well, they just refused to 00:06:54.010 --> 00:06:57.210 sign on to this virtue signaling pledge at the end, which, by the way. 00:06:57.710 --> 00:07:01.350 The summit would have probably been declared a success if all the world leaders 00:07:01.350 --> 00:07:05.610 did what they do at every other summit and just say, we support a fossil free 00:07:05.610 --> 00:07:11.790 world, fossil fuel free world in the next by 2040. 00:07:12.030 --> 00:07:14.990 And then they all pat themselves on the back. Successful summit. 00:07:15.190 --> 00:07:18.110 Let's go to the next one. They wouldn't they couldn't even get that out of it. 00:07:18.190 --> 00:07:22.990 So the bottom line is this was COP30. It was a disaster from the beginning. 00:07:23.290 --> 00:07:27.710 China took an unusual role in that they were the first pavilion when you walked 00:07:27.710 --> 00:07:28.990 in. They had Chinese flags. 00:07:29.170 --> 00:07:33.030 They had standing room only press conferences. They had books by Xi Jinping smiling. 00:07:33.250 --> 00:07:38.930 And it brings the life Donald Trump's 2002 X tweet where he says the global 00:07:38.930 --> 00:07:42.750 warming hoax was invented to basically make the United States non-competitive 00:07:42.750 --> 00:07:45.150 in the world and make China the sole global superpower, 00:07:45.330 --> 00:07:49.710 which is exactly what the UN agenda has done, whether it's from EV mandates, 00:07:49.710 --> 00:07:51.310 the solar panels, the windmills. 00:07:51.892 --> 00:07:54.952 And China, you know, sort of played it close to the vest. 00:07:55.092 --> 00:07:58.312 They just sort of sit back as they build two coal plants a week, 00:07:58.432 --> 00:08:00.052 nearly 100 coal plants a year. 00:08:00.212 --> 00:08:05.672 And they supply most of the world's materials for EV batteries and solar plants and windmills. 00:08:06.132 --> 00:08:10.892 They just sort of enjoy this. Xi Jinping did not need to attend this because 00:08:10.892 --> 00:08:15.732 he was already represented by the environmental action and all the ideologues 00:08:15.732 --> 00:08:20.752 and all the willing dupes of the European leaders who still go there and pledge 00:08:20.752 --> 00:08:22.292 fealty to this client. agenda. 00:08:22.672 --> 00:08:26.352 So the bottom line is this was such a disaster, followed on the heels of last 00:08:26.352 --> 00:08:32.832 year's COP29, which I went to in Baku, Azerbaijan, a true oligarch, if there ever was one. 00:08:33.032 --> 00:08:37.432 I remember filming cows in the streets, dirt streets, dire poverty. 00:08:37.652 --> 00:08:42.092 And then you would go 10 blocks over and you'd see Rolls Royce dealerships and 00:08:42.092 --> 00:08:47.132 the most unbelievable Gucci and all the jewelry stores and all the wealth. 00:08:47.312 --> 00:08:51.832 It was an incredible display. But at that conference, you had the oil minister 00:08:51.832 --> 00:08:57.072 of the host countries of Azerbaijan say that oil was a gift from God. 00:08:57.392 --> 00:09:01.812 And Al Gore and others got so angry. And that negotiation also broke down where 00:09:01.812 --> 00:09:07.812 Al Gore is now pushing after both COP 29 and COP 30 to not allow countries who 00:09:07.812 --> 00:09:10.592 dissent from the UN climate agenda to attend. 00:09:10.792 --> 00:09:15.632 Now, if they start banning countries, you're going to end up with an even further 00:09:15.632 --> 00:09:18.172 collapse process, but they're really upset. 00:09:18.352 --> 00:09:21.712 So to make a long story short, they've had 30 of these summits, 00:09:21.832 --> 00:09:25.712 Carbon dioxide has continued to go up in the atmosphere for all 30 of these summits. 00:09:26.281 --> 00:09:31.621 And nothing they've done has even slowed that rate. 00:09:32.001 --> 00:09:36.661 But they keep making the pledges that by 2040, by 2050, we're going to be fossil 00:09:36.661 --> 00:09:37.941 free. We're going to be net zero. 00:09:38.161 --> 00:09:41.661 We're achieving our goals. And they just they will not stop. 00:09:42.241 --> 00:09:47.841 So as it stands right now, the UN is I would call it now Robocop because they've 00:09:47.841 --> 00:09:52.561 already announced next year is going to be at a Turkish resort along the sea in Turkey. 00:09:52.841 --> 00:10:00.401 The next COP31. And COP32 is going to be in Africa, in Ethiopia, 00:10:00.801 --> 00:10:03.821 which ought to be interesting because I don't know about their infrastructure 00:10:03.821 --> 00:10:10.601 and their ability to handle 50,000 UN people plucking in for two weeks like they do. 00:10:10.981 --> 00:10:17.041 But there are a couple other examples here. The big metaphor was the fire that they had. 00:10:17.341 --> 00:10:20.741 They had a fire. As I mentioned, these were horribly constructed, 00:10:20.741 --> 00:10:22.401 just temporary tent structure. 00:10:22.841 --> 00:10:26.681 I don't even know the cause if they figured it out, but a fire broke out in 00:10:26.681 --> 00:10:29.861 one of the tents and it literally was looked life threatening. 00:10:30.081 --> 00:10:33.081 No one actually got killed. Some people had smoke inhalation, 00:10:33.221 --> 00:10:36.941 but they had to shut down the entire conference for about half a day and clear 00:10:36.941 --> 00:10:39.721 that out and then close off sections from that. 00:10:40.334 --> 00:10:46.074 Um, and it, it just was a PR disaster. It was a substantive disaster. 00:10:47.034 --> 00:10:51.854 And my favorite quote of the whole conference was Politico quoting a high level 00:10:51.854 --> 00:10:55.754 UN officials just saying, I don't even know what the F we're doing here. 00:10:55.954 --> 00:11:00.014 Meaning like, why are we even here? These conferences essentially haven't achieved 00:11:00.014 --> 00:11:02.974 anything, but even the mainstream media, and you read some of the headlines 00:11:02.974 --> 00:11:06.854 from the LA times to newsweek to Politico to the New York times, 00:11:07.034 --> 00:11:08.494 they were all just saying this was. 00:11:09.474 --> 00:11:12.594 You up and i gotta say of all the summits i've 00:11:12.594 --> 00:11:16.414 been to i've never been to one where it's just like they are they can't get 00:11:16.414 --> 00:11:20.734 their act together this was a absolute just shit show from beginning to end 00:11:20.734 --> 00:11:26.274 one other point they served in their food court they had a un scam going where 00:11:26.274 --> 00:11:31.074 you could only buy a a food card this was the first time in 30 years i didn't 00:11:31.074 --> 00:11:32.494 well 20 years i'd ever seen it, 00:11:33.274 --> 00:11:38.794 you had to buy a prepaid card and then if you didn't use it all up you then 00:11:38.794 --> 00:11:42.594 had to apply for the UN in this long process, and they would refund you eventually, 00:11:42.754 --> 00:11:44.174 maybe back to your bank or your cart. 00:11:44.354 --> 00:11:46.794 It was this big scam, another way for the UN to make money. 00:11:46.994 --> 00:11:51.654 But most significantly, they served meat at almost every single restaurant there. 00:11:52.614 --> 00:11:54.094 Steak, chicken, and burgers. 00:11:54.234 --> 00:11:57.534 Bob's Burgers, according to Politico, on day two of the conference, 00:11:57.734 --> 00:11:59.154 sold out of all their beef burgers. 00:11:59.914 --> 00:12:04.754 And that's just an example where the UN did an agriculture report saying cow 00:12:04.754 --> 00:12:07.514 emissions were more damaging to the planet than all the planes, 00:12:07.674 --> 00:12:09.394 trains, and automobiles combined. 00:12:09.774 --> 00:12:13.214 And then, of course, the delegates gobbled up all the hamburgers and they ran 00:12:13.214 --> 00:12:14.654 out on day two of the conference. 00:12:14.834 --> 00:12:19.654 They also had no hotel shortage in this small city of Belém in Brazil, relatively small. 00:12:19.974 --> 00:12:24.214 So they brought in cruise ships. And I mean, dozens of cruise ships along the 00:12:24.214 --> 00:12:27.554 river there for delegates and world leaders and journalists. 00:12:27.694 --> 00:12:30.594 I talked to many journalists who were staying. And these are like carnival cruise 00:12:30.594 --> 00:12:31.854 lines. I mean, like the big ones. 00:12:32.430 --> 00:12:37.310 And if you look that up, the carbon footprint of these carbon of these of these 00:12:37.310 --> 00:12:41.550 cruise ships are bigger than the airline fare and the hotel combined if you 00:12:41.550 --> 00:12:42.870 came other ways or stayed in a hotel. 00:12:43.030 --> 00:12:45.930 So it was just one of the worst. 00:12:46.070 --> 00:12:50.530 And I left out one of the biggest things was they had to put in a eight mile highway. 00:12:50.670 --> 00:12:55.030 This was broken, exclusive story by the BBC. It was actually a press release 00:12:55.030 --> 00:13:00.110 for a Brazilian like infrastructure transportation office bragging that they 00:13:00.110 --> 00:13:02.310 were building this highway for the COP30. 00:13:02.430 --> 00:13:04.590 And they clear-cut the rainforest. 00:13:04.910 --> 00:13:08.510 And the environmental minister, when he was quoted by the BBC for COP30, 00:13:08.770 --> 00:13:11.190 why are you clear-cutting rainforest for COP30? 00:13:11.270 --> 00:13:13.650 Well, we need to bring in as many people as possible. Why? 00:13:13.790 --> 00:13:17.090 So we can showcase to the world how we've been saving the rainforest. 00:13:17.450 --> 00:13:20.210 You can't make that kind of absurdity up. 00:13:20.310 --> 00:13:23.670 But that's it. So we actually sent out, we went out to the actual clear-cut 00:13:23.670 --> 00:13:27.590 trees and the new highway that was built and being built. 00:13:27.990 --> 00:13:32.110 And this upset a lot of environmentalists. Greenpeace was there talking all 00:13:32.110 --> 00:13:33.590 about saving the forest. 00:13:33.710 --> 00:13:37.770 So it embarrassed them so much at this conference that they came up with their 00:13:37.770 --> 00:13:39.190 new plan to save the rainforest. 00:13:39.350 --> 00:13:44.370 And you'll love this, James. The plan essentially is the developed world is 00:13:44.370 --> 00:13:46.670 going to pay poor countries to save their forests. 00:13:46.870 --> 00:13:52.770 A simpler plan may be just don't clear cut rainforest for worthless UN climate summits. 00:13:54.288 --> 00:14:00.308 You paint quite the vivid picture there of a absolute disaster from soup to nuts, start to finish. 00:14:00.608 --> 00:14:05.368 But suffice it to say, I guess, Leonardo DiCaprio and Bono and others weren't 00:14:05.368 --> 00:14:07.988 jet setting in here for their PR campaigns. 00:14:08.148 --> 00:14:09.928 No, there was not a single. 00:14:10.728 --> 00:14:15.048 Now that you mentioned it, I don't believe a single Hollywood celebrity of any kind showed up. 00:14:15.128 --> 00:14:18.828 Now, previous ones, I interviewed Harrison Ford in Madrid. 00:14:19.148 --> 00:14:24.208 Greta used to be at all these. By the way, Greta, I in many ways respect her 00:14:24.208 --> 00:14:28.408 because it's Scotland, 2002, which I can't do the math. 00:14:28.508 --> 00:14:31.408 I think it was like COP 27 or 28. I don't know. 00:14:32.008 --> 00:14:36.408 It was a year of interruption with COVID. So they didn't have one, but COVID lockdown. 00:14:36.568 --> 00:14:39.608 But Greta said she's going to stop going to these. 00:14:39.728 --> 00:14:46.288 She said the UN, the whole COP climate process was a scam and that it was nothing but greenwashing. 00:14:46.428 --> 00:14:49.988 And she just said it's a joke. So she stopped going. She turned against the 00:14:49.988 --> 00:14:53.908 UN so much so that the year later, when I went to I went to Sharm el-Sheikh, 00:14:54.048 --> 00:14:57.488 England, Egypt, which was on the Red Sea Resort. 00:14:58.288 --> 00:15:05.548 And that was that that conference featured the new Greta, which they basically recruited. 00:15:05.608 --> 00:15:07.968 She was like the spokesman for the UN giving keynotes. 00:15:08.068 --> 00:15:12.248 Well, then they brought in this this young, young blonde and she was dubbed 00:15:12.248 --> 00:15:15.888 Hot Greta because she looked like a model and she wore skimpy outfits. 00:15:15.888 --> 00:15:20.428 And she became sort of the climate influencer for the young people. 00:15:20.748 --> 00:15:24.748 And Greta just disappeared. So Greta is no longer involved. There were no celebrities 00:15:24.748 --> 00:15:28.648 who did show up with Senator Whitehouse of Rhode Island, the Democrat senator. 00:15:28.948 --> 00:15:31.368 And you know what he spent his time doing? It was amazing. 00:15:32.028 --> 00:15:34.728 He just, first of all, he bashed Donald Trump. But interestingly enough, 00:15:34.868 --> 00:15:39.308 he complained that the State Department, for the first time in however many 00:15:39.308 --> 00:15:43.528 years he's been a senator, didn't pay his way down to the UN Climate Summit. 00:15:43.528 --> 00:15:47.168 And he went on and on about how he had to get outside funding and how the State 00:15:47.168 --> 00:15:48.988 Department wouldn't fund it. And this is outrageous. 00:15:49.208 --> 00:15:52.648 Basically, it's an outrageous use of tax dollars that they didn't pay his way. 00:15:53.289 --> 00:15:56.029 That was funny. And by the way, these aren't cheap. When I was in the U.S. 00:15:56.089 --> 00:15:58.869 Senate, I traveled to the State Department when I was with the U.S. 00:15:58.949 --> 00:16:00.169 Senate Environment Public Works. 00:16:00.269 --> 00:16:02.729 I went to Bali, Indonesia. I went to Kenya. 00:16:03.169 --> 00:16:07.329 My airline flight, it was business class, which is equivalent to first class. 00:16:07.489 --> 00:16:10.829 I'd lay down beds, the warm cookies, full meals. 00:16:11.109 --> 00:16:16.169 I mean, I had everything. It was incredible. Loved traveling that way. be $15,000 plus. 00:16:16.349 --> 00:16:19.909 I still have the receipts from the State Department just as a Senate staffer 00:16:19.909 --> 00:16:23.849 for me to go. So you can imagine the bills for U.S. senators. 00:16:23.969 --> 00:16:27.809 They probably don't go business class. They probably go the extra bump up the first class. 00:16:28.329 --> 00:16:32.309 So, you know, by Donald Trump saved the U.S. taxpayer probably in the neighborhood 00:16:32.309 --> 00:16:36.229 of $20,000 by not paying for Senator Whitehouse's trip. 00:16:36.429 --> 00:16:41.029 I think he's one of the only elected officials that were there from the U.S. 00:16:41.189 --> 00:16:44.909 Senate of Congress, Gavin Newsom showed up. 00:16:45.109 --> 00:16:48.949 Now, he was reportedly, according to D.C. examiners, flew in on a private jet. 00:16:49.069 --> 00:16:52.729 I can't imagine any other way he would fly in. By the way, took me 38 hours, 00:16:52.869 --> 00:16:56.409 just to give you an idea how difficult this was, 38 hours from Washington, 00:16:56.529 --> 00:17:00.629 D.C., Washington, Dulles, to get finally to my destination in Belém. 00:17:00.869 --> 00:17:03.569 This was during the big shutdown in Washington, too. 00:17:03.709 --> 00:17:09.169 So I had to sleep in the airport and fly the next day, and he had delays in 00:17:09.169 --> 00:17:11.689 the next airport. I mean, it was just, it was a mess. 00:17:11.869 --> 00:17:17.969 But Gavin Newsom showed up and just was preening for all the cameras and bashing 00:17:17.969 --> 00:17:19.789 Trump. He's trying to, of course, get the nomination. 00:17:19.969 --> 00:17:24.369 I'm not convinced he's, I'm convinced he's probably going to be the next president after Donald Trump. 00:17:24.729 --> 00:17:29.809 He'll probably be elected because we're in a yin-yang situation in American politics. 00:17:30.309 --> 00:17:35.449 And I think, you know, we'll see where it goes, but he's positioning himself for that. 00:17:35.569 --> 00:17:39.529 But there was no AOC, no Bernie. What's interesting is if you look at the whole 00:17:39.529 --> 00:17:43.929 Donald Trump in his first hundred days just decimated in a way that his first 00:17:43.929 --> 00:17:49.829 term couldn't even fathom the entire climate and energy agenda of the climate agenda. 00:17:50.525 --> 00:17:53.805 And there's literally and virtually no pushback from anyone. 00:17:54.005 --> 00:17:57.245 I mean, I'm talking even climate activists, even Al Gore. Al Gore moved his 00:17:57.245 --> 00:18:00.405 activism overseas from the United States, doesn't even talk about it. 00:18:00.925 --> 00:18:05.925 Democrat senators were silent. Bernie Sanders, relatively quiet AOC on this issue. 00:18:06.105 --> 00:18:09.385 You know, they're still active and powerful groups because they were active. 00:18:09.545 --> 00:18:12.745 They did push back heavily on Donald Trump's immigration agenda. 00:18:13.125 --> 00:18:16.425 You know, Democrat mayors, governors, but on climate, just crickets. 00:18:16.605 --> 00:18:21.565 So the UN comes and they felt this need. So Nancy Pelosi holds a press conference with other Democrats. 00:18:21.885 --> 00:18:24.065 Nancy Pelosi at one point said, oh, yeah, this is important. 00:18:24.145 --> 00:18:28.065 And Donald Trump is dismantling it and we got to fight it or whatever. 00:18:28.345 --> 00:18:30.185 She was just checking a box. 00:18:30.505 --> 00:18:33.745 And White House, you know, actually went for the first time, 00:18:33.865 --> 00:18:37.445 really showed any interest. But otherwise, there's just been no one cares. 00:18:37.685 --> 00:18:41.985 They realize they have to lay low. It's very similar to the transgender agenda 00:18:41.985 --> 00:18:45.025 where there's really been no pushback to the dismantling of that. 00:18:45.736 --> 00:18:48.876 It's almost like they just realized they overreached and they're laying quiet. 00:18:49.016 --> 00:18:50.296 And that's the same thing with climate. 00:18:51.136 --> 00:18:54.256 So I don't think it's over. We'll get into the reasons of that separately. 00:18:54.436 --> 00:19:00.036 But the bottom line is Donald Trump by there's a lot of I have a lot of problems 00:19:00.036 --> 00:19:03.836 with Trump's presidency, mainly being I don't like the foreign policy. 00:19:03.976 --> 00:19:06.056 I think it's too neoconservative, number one. 00:19:06.376 --> 00:19:10.856 Number two, I think he's helping build a surveillance state with Palantir. 00:19:11.076 --> 00:19:13.556 This was a Bush Cheney. I don't have to tell you this stuff, 00:19:13.656 --> 00:19:15.236 but I'm just giving you the bigger picture. 00:19:15.736 --> 00:19:19.736 Bush Cheney tried this, was ruled unconstitutional. Even Democrat senators were against it. 00:19:19.836 --> 00:19:23.296 So then they created Palantir. I think it was 2002, right, when Bush Cheney 00:19:23.296 --> 00:19:26.116 stopped after they were trying to create a government surveillance state. 00:19:26.236 --> 00:19:29.936 So now Palantir has a contract, doesn't have the constitutional restrictions. 00:19:30.436 --> 00:19:34.896 I'm not big on Trump's AI agenda and the whole idea of, you know, 00:19:35.016 --> 00:19:40.436 us taxpayers subsidizing Bezos and Gates and all these Soviet style buildings 00:19:40.436 --> 00:19:41.476 cropping up everywhere. 00:19:41.476 --> 00:19:45.816 And now even a Fox News host saying, well, you, you know, you don't even need a Christmas tree. 00:19:46.536 --> 00:19:50.016 You don't get a don't get a real Christmas tree because that data centers are 00:19:50.016 --> 00:19:51.416 encroaching on Christmas tree farms. 00:19:51.536 --> 00:19:56.276 Anyway, my point being, I can criticize many aspects of Trump's administration, 00:19:56.276 --> 00:20:00.696 but on the climate energy environment, he's exceeded. 00:20:00.896 --> 00:20:02.796 I'm in a group of climate activists. 00:20:03.525 --> 00:20:08.345 Climate skeptic activists. We had like a top 10 list. Trump blew through that 00:20:08.345 --> 00:20:10.085 like in the first week of his presidency. 00:20:10.925 --> 00:20:15.045 He then blew past it to like 70, 80. I mean, items that we didn't even think 00:20:15.045 --> 00:20:18.565 were worth asking for because they were so far away, he was doing. 00:20:19.105 --> 00:20:22.965 And so the two things, I know I'm filibustering here, but the two things that 00:20:22.965 --> 00:20:24.545 are, a couple of things that are important, 00:20:24.685 --> 00:20:27.725 what can Trump do to make it permanent? And is it actually dead? 00:20:27.905 --> 00:20:30.245 So those are the two things looming large, but I'll answer any other questions 00:20:30.245 --> 00:20:33.145 you have about COP30 or the state of the climate agenda if you'd like. 00:20:33.385 --> 00:20:36.725 Well, I definitely want to get to that because that is obviously an important part of this. 00:20:36.845 --> 00:20:40.905 But I think what you're gesturing towards is not just the failure of a singular 00:20:40.905 --> 00:20:42.425 COP conference, whatever. 00:20:42.705 --> 00:20:46.085 No, this is about a fundamental change in the narrative that's taken place. 00:20:46.225 --> 00:20:49.405 And I think the way that we can understand that perhaps best is something that 00:20:49.405 --> 00:20:54.665 happened right before COP30 was that a certain climate activist named Bill Gates 00:20:54.665 --> 00:20:59.465 came out with a blog post that went viral called Three Tough Truths About Climate. 00:20:59.665 --> 00:21:03.105 What I want everyone at COP30 to know where it seems Mr. 00:21:03.225 --> 00:21:08.145 Gates has stepped away from, sorry, doctor, learned Dr. Bill Gates. 00:21:08.305 --> 00:21:09.545 Oh, wait, he isn't a doctor of anything. 00:21:09.905 --> 00:21:12.645 Is that Amir? What's your doctor? Is that a- Yeah, exactly. 00:21:13.185 --> 00:21:16.985 Step back from his climate catastrophism to say, you know what, 00:21:17.125 --> 00:21:20.665 actually, rising temperatures aren't going to kill us all and we should be focusing on human outcomes. 00:21:21.185 --> 00:21:25.225 I think there are probably a number of self-interested reasons why Bill Gates 00:21:25.225 --> 00:21:29.125 is doing this, one of which is knowing which way the narrative winds are blowing 00:21:29.125 --> 00:21:30.445 and starting to get ahead of it. 00:21:30.805 --> 00:21:34.025 And re-basically started a different narrative around this. 00:21:34.105 --> 00:21:38.305 I think another part of this is the AI data center monstrosities that are taking 00:21:38.305 --> 00:21:42.325 up more and more and more and more of the energy grid and realizing solar and 00:21:42.325 --> 00:21:45.345 wind isn't going to cut it for the AI data behemoth. 00:21:45.865 --> 00:21:50.445 But anyway, what's your take on Gates and what that signals about the way the 00:21:50.445 --> 00:21:51.725 narrative itself is changing? 00:21:52.665 --> 00:21:57.405 Absolutely stunning. I mean, what's interesting about it is Bill Gates could 00:21:57.405 --> 00:22:02.765 have told you in year 2000, year 2010, 2020, that climate was not a catastrophe 00:22:02.765 --> 00:22:05.945 and that we should focus on human flourishing was the word he used. 00:22:06.352 --> 00:22:10.392 He actually said, quote, it's not a catastrophe. He could have told you all 00:22:10.392 --> 00:22:13.112 that. He knew. He's not a dumb person. So it's not like, oh, 00:22:13.192 --> 00:22:14.192 there's some new science up. 00:22:14.592 --> 00:22:18.652 No, a couple of factors contributed. A, 30 years of failure, 00:22:19.312 --> 00:22:20.672 nothing. It's just all virtue signaling. 00:22:20.832 --> 00:22:24.432 One of the key things I understand about this, and we'll get to explain Bill Gates. 00:22:25.892 --> 00:22:31.312 Is that this was very easy for both Republicans and Democrats in year 2006, 00:22:31.332 --> 00:22:34.852 when Al Gore's film came out 2010 with obama's 00:22:34.852 --> 00:22:39.752 cap and trade and all his epa stuff subsequently it was very easy through the 00:22:39.752 --> 00:22:43.712 teens for all the democrat governors and mayors and all these i'm going to support 00:22:43.712 --> 00:22:47.732 you know net zero and we're going to do you know phase out fossil fuels we're 00:22:47.732 --> 00:22:53.392 going to do ev man everything just sounded great arnold schwarzenegger was credited in 2005 with the, 00:22:54.272 --> 00:22:58.932 california climate bill as being the savior of the climate but he was he did 00:22:58.932 --> 00:23:02.572 nothing all he did was commit stuff to regulatory that they wouldn't feel the 00:23:02.572 --> 00:23:04.912 effects of till many years after he's out of office. 00:23:05.052 --> 00:23:08.872 Well, what happened was, finally, all the chickens came home to roost, 00:23:08.992 --> 00:23:12.552 people were feeling it, you started feeling it, particularly like the gas powered 00:23:12.552 --> 00:23:16.592 car ban, and the EV mandate that was not that was going down like a hunk of 00:23:16.592 --> 00:23:18.332 concrete, no one could swallow that. 00:23:18.692 --> 00:23:21.572 So that, you know, that, of course, was reversed. And it was reversed, 00:23:21.592 --> 00:23:25.092 and actually a very good way where the Republicans actually voted in Congress, 00:23:25.332 --> 00:23:31.392 to reverse that and make it so it's not just an executive order or an EPA or 00:23:31.392 --> 00:23:32.692 some administrative action. 00:23:33.584 --> 00:23:39.824 And what happened was the Ukraine invasion, Russia's invasion of Ukraine laid it bare in Europe. 00:23:39.864 --> 00:23:43.284 So you had Europe widely abandoning net zero now. 00:23:43.504 --> 00:23:47.764 You had the Green New Deal halted in Europe. The EU elections last year went 00:23:47.764 --> 00:23:53.484 remarkably toward climate skeptics and energy realists, people who aren't buying in the net zero. 00:23:53.944 --> 00:23:57.624 The recent German elections were the same way. You had the farmers' rebellion 00:23:57.624 --> 00:24:01.804 beginning in the Netherlands, spreading throughout the EU, culminating with 00:24:01.804 --> 00:24:04.324 them throwing manure on the headquarters of the EU. 00:24:04.644 --> 00:24:11.144 So people, they were feeling it. They were connecting it. It was no longer a cheap virtue signal. 00:24:11.284 --> 00:24:14.744 So Bill Gates knew that was all coming. And then you have the election of Donald Trump. 00:24:14.904 --> 00:24:18.024 And one of the key things Donald Trump has done and Lee Zeldin has done, 00:24:18.164 --> 00:24:23.104 even more so than Chris Wright, his energy secretary, but Lee Zeldin, the EPA chief, has done. 00:24:23.524 --> 00:24:26.824 And I didn't like Lee Zeldin. I mean, I didn't like the idea of him. 00:24:26.904 --> 00:24:29.324 I didn't know much about him, but I knew he had capitulated to, 00:24:29.484 --> 00:24:34.724 I think it was Showtime, to climate activists. He had in the past changed his 00:24:34.724 --> 00:24:36.144 position and said, oh, climate's a problem. 00:24:36.264 --> 00:24:40.664 But as EPA secretary, he has reframed the entire narrative. 00:24:40.784 --> 00:24:43.904 He calls it a cult, a scam, and a religion. 00:24:44.144 --> 00:24:46.964 And he just goes after the media. He is strong. 00:24:47.364 --> 00:24:51.444 And it's amazing to watch. And he's one of the most consequential members of 00:24:51.444 --> 00:24:54.464 the Trump cabinet, maybe next to someone like RFK Jr. 00:24:54.484 --> 00:24:57.704 I know there's a lot of criticism saying RFK is not going far enough or it might 00:24:57.704 --> 00:25:01.124 be controlled opposition, but there's still been significant changes there as well. 00:25:01.484 --> 00:25:05.784 Those are two cabinet members I think are the most consequential so far. 00:25:06.224 --> 00:25:09.664 You know, outside of foreign policy. I mean, but anyway, so... 00:25:10.088 --> 00:25:13.808 With Bill Gates's sizing all this up, keep in mind, right before he did this, 00:25:13.948 --> 00:25:19.648 CNN pollster said that you can go back to the 1980s and Americans' concern over 00:25:19.648 --> 00:25:21.408 climate change hasn't changed much. 00:25:21.548 --> 00:25:27.308 After trillions of dollars, all the kids indoctrinated, indoctrination of climate 00:25:27.308 --> 00:25:32.188 fears from kindergarten to college, all the public scares, Al Gore movies, 00:25:32.368 --> 00:25:36.388 all the media reports, all the linking every bad weather event. 00:25:36.828 --> 00:25:41.088 CNN pollster said there was no change in concern since the 1980s. 00:25:41.168 --> 00:25:43.448 And that's the key metric. Everyone's like, do you believe in global warming? 00:25:43.568 --> 00:25:44.628 Has the earth warmed? Do you believe? 00:25:45.088 --> 00:25:47.888 Meaningless. Are you afraid of it? Are you concerned? That's the number. 00:25:48.028 --> 00:25:52.688 And that really is we're back to record low numbers that we were at before they 00:25:52.688 --> 00:25:53.828 even started the campaign. 00:25:54.008 --> 00:25:57.868 So Bill Gates is not a dumb man. Two reasons he did this. 00:25:58.328 --> 00:26:01.868 One of them, of course, was the election of Donald Trump and the reframing of the narrative. 00:26:02.388 --> 00:26:06.228 And Bill Gates is trying to suck up to power. And that's what he does. 00:26:06.388 --> 00:26:09.188 That's what pretty much all billionaires do is suck up to power. 00:26:09.908 --> 00:26:15.328 And one of the things that Bill Gates recognizes is the other thing he mentions is the AI. 00:26:15.728 --> 00:26:20.168 Bill Gates is so terrified of lack of energy. And he's not a, 00:26:20.248 --> 00:26:22.288 again, he's a guy that you can look at energy. 00:26:22.888 --> 00:26:26.908 He's trying to lease Three Mile Island. Mark Zuckerberg is trying to, 00:26:27.048 --> 00:26:31.008 both of them are either trying to lease or buy nuclear power plants just to 00:26:31.008 --> 00:26:33.088 power their AI ambitions. 00:26:33.548 --> 00:26:39.388 Larry Fink of BlackRock actually came out and said that solar and wind cannot 00:26:39.388 --> 00:26:41.088 even come close to powering. 00:26:41.248 --> 00:26:43.868 This was last year, April of 2024. 00:26:44.208 --> 00:26:48.208 Can't come out and come close to powering AI. This is the guy who's now the 00:26:48.208 --> 00:26:52.008 operational head, the co-operational head after Klaus Schwab of the World Economic 00:26:52.008 --> 00:26:53.568 Forum. Larry Fink admitted this. 00:26:53.708 --> 00:26:58.928 So there's no way they can spin virtue signal, lie, or come up with any modeling 00:26:58.928 --> 00:27:00.568 speculation about this. 00:27:01.581 --> 00:27:06.381 So Bill Gates, by saying this, particularly right before the conference, was a game changer. 00:27:06.581 --> 00:27:09.681 They went into this conference deflated. In fact, one of the only things of 00:27:09.681 --> 00:27:13.221 substance that Al Gore did was he attacked Bill Gates. 00:27:13.301 --> 00:27:16.501 I never thought in my life I would see Al Gore attacking Bill Gates. 00:27:16.681 --> 00:27:21.341 He said that Bill Gates, this is at COP30, Al Gore said Bill Gates was being 00:27:21.341 --> 00:27:27.001 bullied by Donald Trump and that he was essentially caving in and being, 00:27:27.201 --> 00:27:29.221 quote, silly. That was the phrase he used, silly. 00:27:29.421 --> 00:27:31.461 That Gates' comments on climate were silly. 00:27:32.161 --> 00:27:36.021 And that is a game changer. I've never heard, I never thought I would see it. What's next? 00:27:36.161 --> 00:27:40.021 Is Bloomberg or George Soros going to recant next? I don't know, 00:27:40.121 --> 00:27:44.061 but it's an amazing thing to watch and never have we seen it this low. 00:27:44.121 --> 00:27:46.921 And I'm not even mentioning all the other aspects of this. 00:27:47.121 --> 00:27:52.061 The net zero bank collapsing, all of the whole ESG collapsing. 00:27:52.881 --> 00:27:56.481 All these climate pledges right before the summit. 00:27:56.481 --> 00:28:00.221 I think it was like over 80 nations didn't even bother to submit their climate 00:28:00.221 --> 00:28:03.141 pledges, which is sort of customary right before the UN conference, 00:28:03.941 --> 00:28:08.221 you know, the whole UN Paris agreement is in tatters that 10 years after that, 00:28:08.321 --> 00:28:09.541 all the mainstream media is, 00:28:09.681 --> 00:28:13.461 was UN Paris climate pack, which was almost to this week, 10 years ago. 00:28:13.621 --> 00:28:18.541 And I was there for that in Paris. They had wanted pictures of my face up wanted 00:28:18.541 --> 00:28:22.261 for being a criminal, the climate, climate criminal, because we premiered our 00:28:22.261 --> 00:28:25.621 film climate hustle during the conference at a historic theater. 00:28:25.761 --> 00:28:29.841 We were shut down by the protesters. We had to have police come and have a police escort. 00:28:30.041 --> 00:28:31.961 And, you know, we did a whole red carpet walk. 00:28:32.221 --> 00:28:33.801 But my point is all the media is 00:28:33.801 --> 00:28:36.681 looking back 10 years ago, and they're basically saying it was a failure. 00:28:36.881 --> 00:28:40.301 But and then the way they spin it is, well, at least it gave us the framework 00:28:40.301 --> 00:28:42.821 and we can move forward. And it was an important step. 00:28:42.981 --> 00:28:46.281 But they're all admitting none of it came true. And this is 10 years later. 00:28:46.301 --> 00:28:49.941 Remember, we were told in 2015 that we've saved the planet. 00:28:50.141 --> 00:28:54.561 Obama, the French president, the U.N. secretary general, all the world leaders 00:28:54.561 --> 00:28:58.221 were like, our grandchildren will look back and thank us for this historic day. 00:28:58.809 --> 00:29:01.789 And what happened? Within a year, they were talking about we had to save the 00:29:01.789 --> 00:29:05.529 planet all over again. So Bill Gates helped deflate it. And again, 00:29:05.609 --> 00:29:06.749 it's his own self-interest. 00:29:07.369 --> 00:29:14.129 He wants those AI. He wants our own, and this is viscerally opposed to this, our own Pentagon. 00:29:14.569 --> 00:29:20.049 And I guess his energy department is giving out $100 million contracts to big 00:29:20.049 --> 00:29:23.569 tech firms to build and subsidize these AI data plans. 00:29:23.689 --> 00:29:28.229 We're also doing the Republican version of the Green New Deal, if you want to say that. 00:29:28.809 --> 00:29:34.109 The Trump administration is doing guaranteed loans. Does that sound familiar? For nuclear power. 00:29:34.469 --> 00:29:39.809 Now, you could take the non-ideological Jack Kemp view, and he did this with welfare. 00:29:40.029 --> 00:29:44.029 He always say, like, to the extent he would point to, like, the Walter Williams 00:29:44.029 --> 00:29:48.409 view that, you know, the inner cities in the 1960s, welfare destroyed the black 00:29:48.409 --> 00:29:51.849 family and churches, and it gave single motherhood. And then, 00:29:51.909 --> 00:29:53.129 of course, the poverty rate went up. 00:29:53.389 --> 00:29:56.189 So they would always say, to the extent Jack Kemp was famous, 00:29:56.309 --> 00:29:58.629 to the extent that government should be involved. 00:29:58.829 --> 00:30:01.389 They need to be involved to the extent that they created the problem. 00:30:01.569 --> 00:30:05.769 So yes, it's against sort of, and that's what I think the Trump administration 00:30:05.769 --> 00:30:08.949 is saying now with these loan guarantees to nuclear industry, 00:30:09.109 --> 00:30:11.989 which a lot, again, we're dealing with who has the best lobbyists, 00:30:12.089 --> 00:30:13.109 who has the best connections, 00:30:13.309 --> 00:30:16.349 you know, and so they're going to be giving out, you know. 00:30:16.969 --> 00:30:22.349 Unsecured, guaranteed taxpayer loans to nuclear facilities on a limited basis. 00:30:22.349 --> 00:30:23.389 They're claiming only 10. 00:30:23.889 --> 00:30:27.969 You know, if we, if this was a Democrat president doing this with solar or wind, 00:30:28.169 --> 00:30:31.589 you can imagine all the free market and conservatives howling, 00:30:31.709 --> 00:30:33.069 but there's not a peep out of it now. 00:30:33.309 --> 00:30:34.609 You know, I'm just telling you, 00:30:34.709 --> 00:30:37.309 that's some of the interesting things happening on the sideline there. 00:30:38.428 --> 00:30:43.388 Yeah, well, as we have alluded to, I think, a couple of times in this conversation, it ain't over yet. 00:30:43.608 --> 00:30:47.228 We are not out of the woods on this climate agenda and the trillions of dollars 00:30:47.228 --> 00:30:50.808 of sunk costs that have been put into this scare over the decades. 00:30:50.808 --> 00:30:55.248 And one example of that I mentioned off the top, the UK national emergency briefing 00:30:55.248 --> 00:30:58.408 that's waking up the world. We have to start a wartime footing. 00:30:58.588 --> 00:31:01.088 They're not giving up on this scam that easily. 00:31:01.328 --> 00:31:06.548 So how, first of all, how are they going to continue to press it and how best can we counteract that? 00:31:07.368 --> 00:31:11.308 Well, I think this is important. And again, I'm not telling you anything you 00:31:11.308 --> 00:31:16.328 don't know, your audience doesn't know, but COVID was the COVID lockdowns were 00:31:16.328 --> 00:31:18.508 the game changer on climate. 00:31:19.228 --> 00:31:22.788 You can look at someone like Joe Rogan right before, I mean, 00:31:22.868 --> 00:31:25.468 in the years leading up, excuse me, the COVID lockdowns. 00:31:25.968 --> 00:31:29.828 He had, I remember he had Candace Owens on in like 2017, and she was telling 00:31:29.828 --> 00:31:30.828 him about climate skepticism. 00:31:31.008 --> 00:31:32.908 He's like, I don't agree with you at all. Let's going, look, 00:31:32.988 --> 00:31:36.488 here's the NASA website. It says, you know, 97% of scientists agree. 00:31:36.868 --> 00:31:40.348 Joe Rogan was citing NASA to debunk a climate skeptic, right? 00:31:40.908 --> 00:31:45.228 Fast forward, Joe Rogan is like the biggest climate skeptic there is today. 00:31:45.368 --> 00:31:48.308 He has Bernie Sanders on, he's showing them the chart, showing that we're at 00:31:48.308 --> 00:31:52.808 the record low temperature the last half a million years or 500 million years 00:31:52.808 --> 00:31:54.308 or the lowest CO2 as well. 00:31:55.408 --> 00:31:58.928 And it's the same thing with Russell Brand, with Jimmy Dore, 00:31:59.028 --> 00:32:00.988 with all these progressives. I've talked to Naomi Wolf. 00:32:01.188 --> 00:32:04.188 I mean, all of these people, RFK Jr. when he announced for president, 00:32:04.428 --> 00:32:06.228 said, I'm not going to talk about climate. 00:32:06.248 --> 00:32:09.828 This was the guy who I interviewed in 2014 at the New York City Climate March. 00:32:09.848 --> 00:32:12.168 He wanted to jail the CEOs of energy companies. 00:32:12.308 --> 00:32:16.668 He wanted to punish skeptical politicians for expressing dissenting climate 00:32:16.668 --> 00:32:18.208 views from the UN and Al Gore. 00:32:19.108 --> 00:32:23.188 He announces in 2000, I guess he ran in 23 when he was running for president, 00:32:23.188 --> 00:32:26.808 when he announced, he said, I'm not going to talk about climate during my campaign 00:32:26.808 --> 00:32:30.368 because it's been hijacked by the world economic forum and the united nations 00:32:30.368 --> 00:32:33.668 for totalitarian control of society end of story so. 00:32:34.512 --> 00:32:38.972 That's a big component of this is these these sort of I guess you could call 00:32:38.972 --> 00:32:41.292 them honest liberals, classical liberals or whatever. 00:32:41.472 --> 00:32:45.092 A lot of them have just turned on that whole movement. And a lot of people now, 00:32:45.272 --> 00:32:50.752 you could go to a public discussion and all the experts agreed. 00:32:51.252 --> 00:32:55.332 No one buys it anymore. Thanks to Anthony Fauci. Thanks to public health and 00:32:55.332 --> 00:32:58.472 what they did on COVID. So it made my job a lot easier. 00:32:58.792 --> 00:33:01.552 Now, you asked me where they're going from here. the way they're looking at 00:33:01.552 --> 00:33:05.652 this, they're looking at Donald Trump in this current moment as sort of he's 00:33:05.652 --> 00:33:09.492 a kidney stone that's very painful, but has to be passed through the system. 00:33:09.752 --> 00:33:14.732 When you pass a kidney stone, you very often get excruciating pain and you get 00:33:14.732 --> 00:33:16.472 bloody urine and everything else. 00:33:16.612 --> 00:33:19.332 Well, that's what they're going through right now. So we can't look at it and 00:33:19.332 --> 00:33:22.452 say, oh, the patient's dying, the patient's dying. No, it's a kidney stone to them. 00:33:23.092 --> 00:33:27.652 And they're regrouping. One of the things COVID lockdowns brought was the idea 00:33:27.652 --> 00:33:31.892 of morphing climate into public health. 00:33:32.112 --> 00:33:37.332 By doing this, they can bypass democracy completely because even, 00:33:38.032 --> 00:33:42.452 post-COVID, most states, other than places like Ron DeSantis' Florida and a 00:33:42.452 --> 00:33:46.592 couple other states, there hasn't been a lot of reforms to prevent the mandates 00:33:46.592 --> 00:33:48.672 and vaccine mandates and lockdowns 00:33:48.672 --> 00:33:52.472 and mask mandates we saw last time and stay-at-home orders and et cetera. 00:33:52.752 --> 00:33:57.112 There just isn't a lot of reforms. So the next pandemic scare, 00:33:57.352 --> 00:34:01.032 they're going to try all that again. Well, their idea is. 00:34:01.789 --> 00:34:04.609 Starting Australian researchers during COVID came out and said, 00:34:04.729 --> 00:34:07.629 let's add climate change as a cause of death to death certificates. 00:34:07.829 --> 00:34:10.849 As a cause of death. That's now in the peer-reviewed journal. 00:34:11.269 --> 00:34:15.749 Secondly, a group of Canadian doctors started actually diagnosing, 00:34:15.929 --> 00:34:18.389 and it was actually, it was in, I think it was in Vancouver, 00:34:18.569 --> 00:34:23.529 the first medically diagnosed case of a patient suffering from climate change. 00:34:23.849 --> 00:34:29.549 Actually, the doctor actually put it on the diagnosis sheet at the hospital. 00:34:29.549 --> 00:34:31.769 And this is reported by the mainstream media. 00:34:31.949 --> 00:34:35.469 This isn't like dark web conspiracies and reporting. Everything I'm saying is 00:34:35.469 --> 00:34:38.669 like mainstream, either academic journal or corporate media. 00:34:38.929 --> 00:34:41.109 So they want to add it as a cause of death. 00:34:41.389 --> 00:34:45.629 And then you have the idea, Anthony Fauci had done multiple papers on this. 00:34:46.529 --> 00:34:50.729 Unchecked climate change leads to more viruses like COVID. We need to therefore 00:34:50.729 --> 00:34:54.629 regulate this. So the World Health and Dutiful Organization said that climate 00:34:54.629 --> 00:34:58.229 is one of the existential threats of the 21st century. 00:34:58.469 --> 00:35:02.789 And now we have hospitals considering climate change. 00:35:02.909 --> 00:35:09.989 They're talking about limits on scrub water supply for surgeons scrubbing up for surgery. 00:35:10.169 --> 00:35:12.109 They're talking about limits on anesthesia. 00:35:12.329 --> 00:35:18.989 The American Cancer Society did a whole study fretting about the carbon footprint of cancer care. 00:35:19.289 --> 00:35:23.129 And it's just it's unbelievable. If you look at what's going on in our medical 00:35:23.129 --> 00:35:27.069 care, doctors have climate toolkits that just began and they're talking to patients 00:35:27.069 --> 00:35:32.909 about climate change and how they can mitigate their own footprint and their eco-anxiety. 00:35:33.089 --> 00:35:37.189 So I think that's one of the ways they're going to go forward because it's very 00:35:37.189 --> 00:35:39.009 hard. They can never get a vote again. 00:35:39.149 --> 00:35:41.189 Like we're going to have the vote in the United States Congress. 00:35:41.349 --> 00:35:44.649 Like that's so old school. No one cares about that. You'd either do an executive 00:35:44.649 --> 00:35:48.949 order, you would do it through the EPA as they've done, or you would do it through public health. 00:35:49.636 --> 00:35:52.176 So the other thing is that the way that, so this is what's happening. 00:35:52.256 --> 00:35:55.696 And the other reason though, it's not over aside from them turning it into public 00:35:55.696 --> 00:35:58.616 health issue is you have trillions of dollars. 00:35:58.836 --> 00:36:03.676 You have billionaires from Richard Branson, Soros, still Gates funding it. 00:36:03.916 --> 00:36:08.456 Gates newfound skepticism doesn't mean he's not funding the research at Harvard 00:36:08.456 --> 00:36:11.776 university to block out the sun and geoengineer the climate. 00:36:12.496 --> 00:36:16.116 It doesn't mean that he's, you know, not, it's still the number one far, 00:36:16.216 --> 00:36:18.176 or at least I don't know if he's still number one farmland owner, 00:36:18.256 --> 00:36:22.536 but NBC News had reported he's the single number one farmland owner in America, 00:36:22.836 --> 00:36:27.876 followed closely by China, followed closely by I want to say Jeff Bezos, 00:36:28.036 --> 00:36:32.356 I believe, is really close on his heels to all these billionaires buying up land. 00:36:32.356 --> 00:36:37.456 It goes in line with the whole equity asset thing and all the purchases of real 00:36:37.456 --> 00:36:43.116 estate, especially outside of suburban or major cities where they're buying them all up. And. 00:36:44.010 --> 00:36:48.810 So Bill Gates has been pushing. He actually told the MIT Technology Review he 00:36:48.810 --> 00:36:53.250 wanted to stop everyone from eating actual meat. 00:36:53.450 --> 00:36:57.890 Instead, eat fake meat or lab-grown meat. The difference being fake meat is 00:36:57.890 --> 00:37:00.430 the vegetable oil processed like the Impossible Burger, which, 00:37:00.530 --> 00:37:03.990 by the way, is tanking is now like millions in debt and maybe going under, 00:37:04.130 --> 00:37:06.370 which was a big Al Gore thing. So that's a good sign. 00:37:06.490 --> 00:37:10.690 People are rejecting the ultra processed fake meat, vegetable oil. 00:37:10.950 --> 00:37:14.310 But also this this lab grown meat is frightening. 00:37:14.450 --> 00:37:17.270 So that's a whole nother thing. So you got all these billionaires funding it. 00:37:17.390 --> 00:37:21.290 You have the foundations funding it. The Associated Press gets millions every year. 00:37:21.430 --> 00:37:25.530 I think it's from either the Getty Foundation or the Thai Foundation to do a climate desk. 00:37:25.870 --> 00:37:29.210 You have academia, you have corporate media, you have all the corporations, 00:37:29.210 --> 00:37:32.310 you have the government and institutions from NASA and NOAA. 00:37:32.310 --> 00:37:35.850 Even despite Trump, you know, beside his budget cuts, which have been much more 00:37:35.850 --> 00:37:39.050 significant the second round, they're all still there. 00:37:39.430 --> 00:37:41.390 Everyone's still there. The UN is still there. 00:37:42.010 --> 00:37:47.210 America's signature is still on the dotted line of that 1992 Rio Earth Summit 00:37:47.210 --> 00:37:49.610 treaty. And that was ratified by the US Senate. 00:37:50.030 --> 00:37:53.930 So just to morph into how we get out of this, the two things that Donald Trump 00:37:53.930 --> 00:37:58.270 needs to do, and the one I know he's on top of, and that's going after the CO2 00:37:58.270 --> 00:38:01.090 endangerment finding, Just keep in mind that humans inhale oxygen, 00:38:01.090 --> 00:38:02.570 we exhale carbon dioxide. 00:38:02.950 --> 00:38:07.390 The CO2 endangerment finding was originally implemented by the Obama administration. 00:38:07.790 --> 00:38:12.010 And the idea was to regulate carbon dioxide, what humans exhale from our mouth, 00:38:12.190 --> 00:38:14.190 as a pollutant under the Clean Air Act. 00:38:15.068 --> 00:38:18.528 Never mentioned carbon dioxide. So they retroactively did it. 00:38:18.628 --> 00:38:19.848 And it's been regulated like that. 00:38:19.988 --> 00:38:23.108 Now, Trump administration first term stopped, but then Biden started it again. 00:38:23.468 --> 00:38:24.248 Trump stopped this time. 00:38:24.628 --> 00:38:28.108 What they're trying to do now is they're going to announce this in January, I'm told. 00:38:28.248 --> 00:38:32.728 I was at a luncheon with EPA officials two weeks ago in Washington. 00:38:33.448 --> 00:38:37.328 There's going to be a big announcement on this in January into February. 00:38:37.568 --> 00:38:41.188 They're going to have the legal team trying to make this. They're going to try 00:38:41.188 --> 00:38:43.748 to reverse the entire frame. 00:38:44.368 --> 00:38:48.788 In other words, the legal basis for this. And it's going to eventually hopefully 00:38:48.788 --> 00:38:52.848 go back to the Supreme Court and the Supreme Court rule that you cannot regulate 00:38:52.848 --> 00:38:56.188 carbon dioxide as a pollutant without a legislative act of Congress. 00:38:56.348 --> 00:39:00.468 This can't be done through basically judicial fiat and reinterpreting the original 00:39:00.468 --> 00:39:05.108 Clean Air Act, you know, from the 1970s and I guess the revision in the 1990s. 00:39:05.208 --> 00:39:09.448 So that's a big one. If Trump can get rid of that, that's the basis for a lot 00:39:09.448 --> 00:39:13.908 of our EV and solar and wind and climate goals and states and localities use it. 00:39:14.088 --> 00:39:17.588 Well, we have the endangerment finding. We have to regulate carbon dioxide as 00:39:17.588 --> 00:39:20.548 a pollutant. And that's another way to link it to public health, by the way. 00:39:20.708 --> 00:39:24.628 If it's a pollutant, pollution is bad for public health, and therefore carbon 00:39:24.628 --> 00:39:25.588 dioxide can be regulated. 00:39:25.948 --> 00:39:29.068 And the second thing is, and this is what my message in COP30 was, 00:39:29.108 --> 00:39:33.288 and I was very excited because I said this live on Fox and Friends. 00:39:33.868 --> 00:39:38.228 I did four Fox News hits that week from COP30. 00:39:38.608 --> 00:39:42.508 The first one was the most significant because Donald Trump on Truth Social. 00:39:43.208 --> 00:39:44.808 Posted my entire segment. 00:39:45.008 --> 00:39:47.828 And in that segment, I mentioned to him, Mr. 00:39:48.008 --> 00:39:52.748 President, you need to go after this 1992 treaty that Republican President George 00:39:52.748 --> 00:39:55.528 H.W. Bush got us into, the Rio Earth Summit Treaty. 00:39:55.668 --> 00:39:58.748 This brought in sustainable development. It brought in Agenda 21. 00:39:58.928 --> 00:40:03.468 It brought in the UN climate process, which then later led to the UN-Paris Agreement. 00:40:03.468 --> 00:40:05.448 It brought in net zero. Everything began. 00:40:06.426 --> 00:40:11.066 We need to vacate that treaty. And I quote in my report, you have not only mainstream 00:40:11.066 --> 00:40:16.606 media, but legal experts basically saying if a president vacates a treaty like that, 00:40:16.806 --> 00:40:21.286 it's going to take a new signing of the treaty and potentially depending on 00:40:21.286 --> 00:40:22.266 legal interpretations. 00:40:22.466 --> 00:40:24.806 And these are like economists, you can get a bunch of different opinions, 00:40:24.926 --> 00:40:28.206 but it looks very likely in the environmental left and climate activists are 00:40:28.206 --> 00:40:30.326 worried and the mainstream media is worried. So that's a good sign. 00:40:30.866 --> 00:40:34.826 You'd have to get it re-ratified by the Senate, which I think in today's environment 00:40:34.826 --> 00:40:36.246 would be virtually impossible. 00:40:36.426 --> 00:40:40.666 So I said to him in my best Ronald Reagan voice, Mr. President, 00:40:41.066 --> 00:40:43.586 tear up this treaty from 1992. 00:40:44.186 --> 00:40:47.346 And he actually posted it. So I'm hoping this message, because I have not, 00:40:47.526 --> 00:40:50.266 there's been a couple officials early on that alluded to it, 00:40:50.346 --> 00:40:51.506 but there doesn't seem to be any movement. 00:40:51.546 --> 00:40:53.866 He needs to get on this immediately because there's going to be, 00:40:53.966 --> 00:40:58.106 we need to get started with a legal challenge and we need to make this stick because- 00:40:59.062 --> 00:41:04.562 yin, yang, Obama, Trump, Biden, Trump, back and forth with climate and energy 00:41:04.562 --> 00:41:06.242 policy is not good for anyone. 00:41:06.442 --> 00:41:09.882 And those two things, vacating the UN climate treaty, 00:41:10.202 --> 00:41:15.862 I'm sorry, the UN Rio Earth Summit Treaty from 1992, and abolishing the CO2 00:41:15.862 --> 00:41:18.902 endangerment finding where governments can regulate carbon dioxide as a pollutant 00:41:18.902 --> 00:41:22.922 without an act of Congress based on a Supreme Court interpretation that, 00:41:23.082 --> 00:41:25.822 you know, we can just say, oh, CO2 is a pollutant. 00:41:26.862 --> 00:41:30.962 That is what we, if we can do those two steps, there can be a certain level 00:41:30.962 --> 00:41:35.422 of permanence to help us against a future president, AOC or Gavin Newsom. 00:41:35.542 --> 00:41:39.662 And I will bet you, I feel very strongly that Gavin Newsom will be either the 00:41:39.662 --> 00:41:41.722 next president or a president within eight years. 00:41:41.822 --> 00:41:46.502 I mean, he's that, I just don't think America had a huge realignment that everyone thinks of. 00:41:46.602 --> 00:41:50.102 I think Donald Trump has, because of his personality and because of maybe some 00:41:50.102 --> 00:41:53.642 overreach and because of his non-populist agenda, 00:41:54.562 --> 00:41:57.762 has damaged his brand enough that he's going to be, you know, 00:41:57.822 --> 00:42:02.002 he only has maybe like six more months before the midterm campaigning kicks in. 00:42:02.142 --> 00:42:06.262 And then of course, you're going to have, I think a Democrat win in the midterms. 00:42:06.602 --> 00:42:11.622 And then Trump's going to be, you know, pretty much stymied from any more congressional action. 00:42:11.802 --> 00:42:15.982 So now is the time. And I really think they need to do those two things to make 00:42:15.982 --> 00:42:19.602 this semi-permanent because the first term with Trump's first term as great 00:42:19.602 --> 00:42:23.622 as it was, nothing compared to what he did this time, was undone within like 00:42:23.622 --> 00:42:25.762 like two months of Biden being president. 00:42:25.762 --> 00:42:29.742 That's how quickly you can undo that stuff and just they reverse course on all the policies. 00:42:31.290 --> 00:42:35.110 You know, Mark, it's so gratifying to see that I think we have independently 00:42:35.110 --> 00:42:37.730 come to the exact same conclusions on all of this. 00:42:37.870 --> 00:42:43.450 For people who want more on that 1992 Rio Earth Summit and its centrality to this issue, 00:42:43.610 --> 00:42:46.310 they can see my How and Why Big Oil Conquered the World documentary, 00:42:46.330 --> 00:42:50.490 where I talk about Morris Strong and the UNEP and how that played such an important 00:42:50.490 --> 00:42:54.630 building block in the narrative that we are currently seeing deconstructed or 00:42:54.630 --> 00:42:56.330 reconstructed before our very eyes. 00:42:56.830 --> 00:43:01.170 Secondarily, yeah, the health issue. I've been ringing the bell about this for a few years now. 00:43:01.370 --> 00:43:05.230 The key words, one health, is the new agenda that they're trying to push. 00:43:05.450 --> 00:43:09.630 And that's the key words they're using at the WHO and the UN to try to bring 00:43:09.630 --> 00:43:13.430 all of this under one big umbrella that they can regulate everything. 00:43:13.690 --> 00:43:18.030 Everything in the world, including you and everything you supposedly own and all the rest. 00:43:18.410 --> 00:43:21.290 So I think, yeah, those are two incredibly important parts of this. 00:43:21.390 --> 00:43:26.310 And yes, Mr. President, if you're watching the Corbett Report, rip up that treaty. 00:43:27.250 --> 00:43:30.750 Excellent. And I think I'd have other things to say to the president besides. 00:43:30.950 --> 00:43:36.430 But besides that, I mean, there's first of all, just to the climate skeptics 00:43:36.430 --> 00:43:40.650 out there who have held their ground for all these decades, give yourselves a big pat on the back. 00:43:40.910 --> 00:43:45.870 And yes, thankfully, we are starting to see the public waking up to the hoax 00:43:45.870 --> 00:43:48.230 and seeing through what has really happened here. 00:43:48.410 --> 00:43:50.750 But it ain't over yet. And there's more to come. 00:43:50.970 --> 00:43:55.090 So I know that I will be keeping an eye on it through outlets like, 00:43:55.250 --> 00:43:58.170 of course, Climate Depot. It's such a valuable resource. for that. 00:43:58.390 --> 00:44:01.270 Why don't you tell people a little bit about the work that you do and how people 00:44:01.270 --> 00:44:03.330 can stay tuned to the latest developments? 00:44:03.930 --> 00:44:07.690 Yeah, my website's climatedepot.com. I'm at X, I'm at Climate Depot. 00:44:08.310 --> 00:44:11.930 And I cover this daily and I'm going to be meeting with the Trump administration 00:44:11.930 --> 00:44:14.570 again in January and I'll be getting updates. 00:44:14.910 --> 00:44:19.330 I'm also going for a week, the third week in January, I'm going to Davos to 00:44:19.330 --> 00:44:22.550 the World Economic Forum, uncredentialed. I'll try to get a credential. 00:44:22.690 --> 00:44:24.630 I don't think it's going to be possible, but I'm going either way. 00:44:24.630 --> 00:44:27.090 We're doing an alternative climate, 00:44:27.743 --> 00:44:31.483 Great Reset event at that. And I believe Donald Trump will be attending as well. 00:44:31.783 --> 00:44:36.823 Not ours, but I mean, in Davos. But we're going to have an alternative event right outside of Davos. 00:44:37.223 --> 00:44:40.883 And I will be running around the streets seeing who I can get in Davos. 00:44:40.983 --> 00:44:45.303 They may be shutting down any non-friendly reporters, but we'll see. 00:44:46.323 --> 00:44:49.043 And I think we go forward on this. 00:44:49.243 --> 00:44:52.703 I'll be covering all this at Climate Depot. So thank you so much, 00:44:52.783 --> 00:44:55.403 James, for the time and opportunity to talk to you and your audience. 00:44:56.003 --> 00:44:59.143 Well, thank you for the updates. And thank you for a little good news cheer 00:44:59.143 --> 00:45:03.703 towards the end of the year. I do appreciate it. Mark, let's not leave it so long till the next time. 00:45:03.823 --> 00:45:06.083 Thanks for coming on. Thank you, Jay. Appreciate it. 00:45:08.763 --> 00:45:12.363 Computer whiz kid. Part of your genius is that you are a computer whiz. 00:45:12.943 --> 00:45:17.043 Cutthroat businessman. The U.S. Justice Department contended that the software 00:45:17.043 --> 00:45:19.103 giant had breached antitrust laws. 00:45:19.803 --> 00:45:25.083 Selfless philanthropist. Bill, even your harshest critic would have to admit 00:45:25.083 --> 00:45:29.523 that your philanthropy work is planet-shaking, incredible. 00:45:30.863 --> 00:45:35.363 Ruthless eugenicist. But that's called the death panel, and you're not supposed 00:45:35.363 --> 00:45:36.403 to have that discussion. 00:45:36.903 --> 00:45:41.103 As more and more of our world is coming to rely on Bill Gates for his guidance. 00:45:41.583 --> 00:45:46.423 One of the best informed voices is that of businessman and philanthropist Bill Gates. 00:45:46.643 --> 00:45:50.643 It is time to ask what really lies behind Gates' quest for control. 00:45:50.643 --> 00:45:56.603 Things won't go back to truly normal until we have a vaccine that we've gotten 00:45:56.603 --> 00:45:59.203 out to basically the entire world. 00:45:59.803 --> 00:46:04.003 It is time to ask, who is Bill Gates? 00:46:05.383 --> 00:46:10.203 Watch the complete documentary for free at CorbettReport.com slash Gates or 00:46:10.203 --> 00:46:14.363 support the work and purchase a DVD copy at CorbettReport.com slash shop.
