Morning. Good morning, everybody. Just wanted to come out and say that we believe the long
00:00:07.480
national nightmare will be over tonight. It was completely and utterly foolish and pointless in
00:00:13.120
the end, as we said all along. I just want to apologize to any Americans who are out there
00:00:18.300
who still have flight cancellations or delays today. I want to apologize to the many American
00:00:23.160
families who were made to go hungry over the last several weeks, our troops and other federal
00:00:27.680
employees who are wondering where their next paycheck would come from. All of that's on the
00:00:31.360
Democrats. Just never forget, they voted 15 times between the House and the Senate to close your
00:00:36.940
government. And the Republicans tried every single day of the shutdown to open it. And we voted 15
00:00:41.860
times to do that. They have a lot to answer for. And I just want to say that we're very optimistic
00:00:47.720
about the vote tally tonight. We think this is going to happen. And we're sorry that it took this
00:00:53.140
long. So Republicans are going to deliver for the people. We're ready to get back to our legislative
00:00:57.080
agenda. We have a very aggressive calendar for the remainder of this year. There'll be some long
00:01:01.680
days and nights here, some long working weeks, but we will get this thing back on track. So thank
00:01:11.340
Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show. It's great to have you with us.
00:01:15.060
There you heard Speaker Mike Johnson earlier today. Tonight will be the night. The Marxist Dems
00:01:21.460
lost once again. Now, Hakeem Jeffries is whipping up all his Democrats to vote against this. And of
00:01:28.360
course, I'm sure 99% of them will vote against opening the government, but they'll have to answer
00:01:32.780
to their voters when those voters go to the ballot box a year from, I mean, just under a year now,
00:01:40.440
a year from last Tuesday. So they're going to have to answer to the voters. And you've got guys like
00:01:45.780
Hakeem Jeffries are still out there advocating for them to keep this thing shut.
00:01:49.900
House Democrats are strongly opposed to this partisan Republican spending bill that continues
00:01:56.500
to gut the health care of the American people. We've said from the very beginning that we want
00:02:00.720
to find a bipartisan path forward, that of course we want to reopen the government, but that we need
00:02:06.000
to decisively address the Republican health care crisis. And that begins with extending the Affordable
00:02:11.700
Care Act tax credits. Republicans saw fit on July 3rd to race back into town so they can enact the
00:02:19.320
largest cut to Medicaid in American history, rip food from the mouths of hungry children, seniors,
00:02:24.460
and veterans. And they did all of this so that they can enact massive tax breaks for their billionaire
00:02:31.260
donors. And they made those tax breaks permanent. Democrats have introduced an amendment last night
00:02:37.660
before the rules committee that would extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits for three years
00:02:42.740
to provide working class Americans with the certainty that they deserve. Republicans rejected it because
00:02:49.060
they have zero interest in lowering the high cost of living for the American people. And Republicans
00:02:54.960
have zero interest in addressing the health care crisis that they've created. Democrats will strongly
00:03:04.620
Leader Jeffries, Leader Jeffries, will you put a discharge petition on the floor for this ACA
00:03:13.560
Affordable Care Act tax credits were extended by three years in the Inflation Reduction Act.
00:03:19.260
The legislation that we will introduce in the context of a discharge petition will provide that level
00:03:26.260
of certainty to working class Americans who are on the verge of seeing their premiums, copays,
00:03:31.980
and deductibles skyrocket, in some cases, experiencing increases of $1,000 or $2,000 per year. This is
00:03:39.000
unsustainable, unacceptable, and it's un-American.
00:03:43.400
Lie, lie, lie, and then lie some more and cheat a little bit in between that lying and then do a
00:03:48.380
little bit more lying is seems to be what the Democrat motto is, especially for none other than
00:03:55.060
Hakeem Jeffries, who's lied for the last 40-plus days while this government's been shut down.
00:04:00.880
And he's just got to own it. He lost. He lost. You lost. You lost in 2024, where the voters
00:04:07.140
overwhelmingly voted for Republicans. You're going to lose in 2026, pending the Republicans get their
00:04:12.880
act together, and President Trump pushes forth this America First agenda that was promised and not
00:04:18.560
every other nation first. They're going to lose again in 2026 if they keep this up and the Republicans
00:04:26.920
get back on their messaging of America First, as I said. Now you've got some infighting inside the
00:04:31.720
Democratic Party with none other than AOC, who's finally coming out and taking Senator Chuck Schumer to
00:04:40.520
I think it's important that we understand that this is not just about Senator Schumer,
00:04:43.960
but that this is about the Democratic Party. Senator Schumer, there's no one vote that ended
00:04:51.780
this shutdown. We are talking about a coordinated effort of eight senators with the knowledge of
00:04:58.920
Leader Schumer voting to break with the entire Democratic Party in exchange for nothing.
00:05:07.420
AOC, we love you, girl. We hope you run for a higher office. Now, I don't know why it's been
00:05:12.580
floated that AOC is going to run for Schumer seat. I don't know why she'd want to do that.
00:05:16.740
Everyone knows the more desirable job is to be a governor. You're essentially the president
00:05:20.380
of that state. You have so much more power. You can do so much more. I'm not entirely sure.
00:05:25.360
And I hope she does run for governor in New York because that will be the nail in the coffin
00:05:30.120
for that place. So many of my friends who I speak to who are well off and wealthy, you know,
00:05:37.360
the Mamadani thing, they're nervous about him and they're scared that he's going to ruin
00:05:41.540
their businesses. And these are people who own very successful blue collar businesses.
00:05:45.900
They're a little nervous of him, but they all have the same sentiment that they're not leaving
00:05:50.500
because of Mamadani. But if AOC comes in, they're getting the heck out of here.
00:05:54.640
So I think it, you know, would be the good test for New York. I'm not entirely sure why she'd want
00:05:58.680
to run for senator. It's a terrible job. I mean, aside from the corruption aspect of it,
00:06:05.220
if she's a traitor, I'm not sure if she trades any stocks, but it's not a desirable job.
00:06:09.200
A governor is a way more desirable job in politics than any member of Congress or the
00:06:14.660
Senate. That's just my opinion. And I think the opinion of some other folks. Now, the Trump
00:06:20.620
administration, they're trying to keep on the message. They're trying to push forward. And
00:06:23.660
he's got so many good people in the cabinet. Howard Lutnick, J.D. Vance is terrific. Marco
00:06:29.240
Rubio is awesome. Scott Besson, who's seemingly out there on television every single day,
00:06:34.400
pushing the word out there, getting all getting the word out there, had this to say last night
00:06:40.160
about taking over from the Biden regime. I think what the president is frustrated by
00:06:45.980
is the media narrative, because the media narrative, the 2021, 22, 23, and even 24 during the campaign
00:06:55.440
was Americans don't know how good they have it. It's a vibe session. I still remember that word.
00:07:01.620
And everyone from the New York Times to former Fed vice chair to Wall Street Journal, even
00:07:08.780
they said it was a vibe session. And instead of owning the inflation, they just said the American
00:07:16.060
people don't understand how they're feeling. And we came in, we inherited a mess. We have brought
00:07:22.640
the inflation down. And Rob, there are two ways for curing affordability. There's bringing
00:07:30.720
inflation down because some of the things, some of the prices we are going to be able to bring down.
00:07:36.200
So energy prices, gasoline, down quite a bit, four year low, four year low mortgage rates.
00:07:44.160
When the president was January 20th, when the president came in 30 year mortgage, 7.08 yesterday,
00:07:51.840
6.22. That's a huge move. It's a big, it's a big difference. If we, if we can get mortgage rates
00:07:57.900
down to the fives, that will help home ownership quite a bit. Yeah. So I think the president is just
00:08:04.600
frustrated by the narrative because I can tell you that every day he is working for the American people
00:08:11.800
that we have nonstop, all hands on deck meetings on this. Yeah.
00:08:17.560
Two other folks who I, one of them I mentioned, the other one I didn't mention in the cabinet,
00:08:22.600
RFK Jr., who I think was perhaps President Trump's best pick for the cabinet position.
00:08:26.740
He's in perhaps ever. And the monkey wrench that he's thrown into HHS and the orthodoxies there that
00:08:35.100
have run for years. He was on stage with J.D. Vance last night at a Maha summit. And they spoke about
00:08:41.280
that and they spoke about the unorthodoxies and how you got to somehow sometimes step outside of
00:08:45.900
your comfort zone in order to make things great again. There is no way that this country is going
00:08:50.960
to advance unless we're comfortable with people who are willing to challenge orthodoxy. And that's
00:08:56.440
what I think got so broken, not just about the scientific bureaucracy, but probably it was worse
00:09:01.720
in the scientific area than in most other places is we've got to be comfortable challenging some of
00:09:07.880
these old orthodoxies. And part of that is welcoming people who are a little unusual because unless you
00:09:14.000
do that, like you're not going to solve America's problems with McKinsey consultants who say everything
00:09:19.040
the right way all the time. No offense, no offense for the McKinsey consultants because
00:09:24.360
many of whom are very brilliant people, but like you need the consultant mindset. You also need the person
00:09:32.560
who is just thinking about an idea because it's interesting and it's fascinating and it's not
00:09:38.040
being focused on enough in the right way. We're going to take a quick break here, folks. On the
00:09:43.740
other side of this quick break, we're going to be joined by Mark Marano of ClimateDepot.com. We're
00:09:47.540
going to have a little bit of a fun episode today. Take the edge off a little bit midweek, make it feel
00:09:51.540
like a Friday. He's over in Belém, Brazil right now for the COP30. That's the climate summit.
00:10:00.280
That's just full of Marxist globalists. Mark's down there right now having a blast. He's going to be
00:10:06.020
joining us from Brazil on the other side of this quick break. Before we go to break, I like to bring
00:10:10.060
you guys a fun clip whenever I can or whenever I find a good one. This is President Trump this week
00:10:15.380
in the White House with the president of Syria in his little room. President Trump has this little
00:10:21.660
room off the Oval Office where he has all his memorabilia and merchandise and the hats and all
00:10:26.360
the trinkets that he gives out. He's got this new cologne out here and he was giving it away to
00:10:32.600
the president of Syria, President Ahmed Ashara, who visited the White House and some of his people.
00:10:38.720
Just take a listen to President Trump and spring the cologne on them and ask him about his wife or wives.
00:10:45.380
This is men's, men's, men's fragrance, right. Yeah. Yeah. This is it. It's the best fragrance.
00:10:57.300
Come here, man. I have no one here, sir. Okay. So what we'll do is just take that, Joe, put it in
00:11:05.060
and then the other one is your wife. How many wives? Is it just one or is there more
00:11:17.460
some President Trump squirted with cologne in the back of our neck? That's absolutely hysterical,
00:11:22.900
but that's the testament of who that man is. He's very genuine. Doesn't matter if he's with the
00:11:26.840
president of a country, if he's with Joe Schmo outside mowing the lawn. He's a good man.
00:11:32.340
We're taking a quick break here, folks. On the other side, like I said, we're going to be joined
00:11:35.280
by Mark Marano, ClimateDepot.com. Don't turn that dial. We'll be back in less than 60 seconds. I promise.
00:11:47.220
Thanks, everybody, for staying with us here on The Great America Show. Please be sure to hit the
00:11:50.180
like, subscribe, follow button, YouTube, and rumble. As promised, joining us live from Belim,
00:11:55.600
Brazil. Not Steve Irwin. It's Mark Marano, who's down in Brazil for the COP30. Mark, give us a vibe
00:12:04.260
check, I guess, first on what's the vibe down there at the COP30 right now? They destroyed the
00:12:10.120
rainforest to make a four-lane highway. I don't get it. Yeah, let's start with that. This entire
00:12:17.460
conference, according now that this was a BBC News exclusive, so this isn't some, you know,
00:12:23.820
right-wing thing that is accusing the UN. The BBC reported on this a few months back when they
00:12:29.360
did this. The Brazilian government admitted. Now, this week, the Brazilian government's trying to
00:12:33.360
deny it. Oh, we didn't build that highway for the conference. Well, it's there. We went to it. I have
00:12:38.340
a stand-up, actually, where the construction zone is. You can see the dirt road leading up to the
00:12:42.820
highway. And what happened was they had to clear-cut tens of thousands of acres, hundreds of thousands of
00:12:49.380
trees, in order to give the traffic flow and accommodate the 30,000 to 50,000 people that are
00:12:55.700
cramming into this small, relatively small Brazilian city of Belém. And what they did is they literally
00:13:04.400
just went in and mowed down the forest, put in the highway. The environmental minister, this is a few
00:13:09.780
months back, tells the BBC, well, we had to do it because we want as many people from around the world
00:13:15.320
to come to this UN climate summit so we could showcase to the world how we've been saving the
00:13:20.920
rainforest. Not making that up. Not to be outdone. They're now trying to spin it as, well, we really
00:13:26.420
didn't build it for the conference. And by the way, we have a, I call it, clear-cut 30 is what we're
00:13:32.320
calling it instead of COP30. But now it's morphing into guilt trip 30 because the Brazilian government
00:13:38.140
yesterday came up with a proposal for the United States and Europe and all the wealthy nations to pay
00:13:44.020
countries like Brazil and Indonesia billions of dollars not to clear-cut their rainforest.
00:13:49.860
I'm sorry, we have to pay you money so that you don't clear-cut the rainforest for a UN? How about
00:13:54.440
we just don't host any more UN summits and then you don't have to clear-cut the rainforest for highways?
00:14:00.780
That's mind-blowing to me, Mark, that the stupidity and the people who are involved in this whole
00:14:06.380
entire thing and America, Donald Trump sending no US delegation because he doesn't believe in it.
00:14:12.640
You're our unofficial delegate down there for the summit right now. Are you the most hated man down
00:14:19.400
there, would you say? Yes. Every day I get hassled going in. They take my passport. I was doing a live
00:14:25.980
interview with Joe Piscopo today. Couldn't get my passport back. They wouldn't let me in. I finally
00:14:31.080
had to argue. They claim it's all this bureaucratic snafu. I've been banned for life from this conference
00:14:36.740
back in 2016 when I had a cardboard cutout of Donald Trump and I had a paper shredder and I
00:14:42.220
shredded the UN-Paris climate agreement. I was escorted out by armed UN climate cops. They
00:14:47.540
confiscated my bag and they banned me for life. A year later, we did an appeal process and I was
00:14:53.400
allowed back in, but I had to go have a one-on-one meeting. I had to sign a document saying I would
00:14:58.380
behave and pledge to follow all the real-on rules. They've let me in with restrictions since that time.
00:15:04.340
So I'm very barely able to get in. They hate me so much here that I'm starting to hate myself.
00:15:09.700
I mean, I'm starting to think maybe they're right. I don't know what's going on, but
00:15:12.780
what's interesting, you mentioned the unofficial delegation. Well, Fox News has recognized me as
00:15:18.060
the unofficial U.S. delegation since this is the first time in 33 years when George H.W. Bush got us
00:15:26.220
into this in 1992 that there's been no official U.S. delegation. Well, guess what? The arrogance of
00:15:33.420
Gavin Newsom, he was declared the unofficial climate ambassador by Politico. And he's down
00:15:40.980
here yesterday. And I'm telling you right now, we have an online poll. It's like a North Korean
00:15:45.460
election. I'm spanking. I'm beating them 96% to four among my readers on social media that I should
00:15:52.500
be declared the unofficial delegate, not Gavin Newsom. So you still have time to vote. I think
00:15:56.480
the poll's got a few more minutes left. Oh, you know what? If they don't go in your favor,
00:16:00.820
we'll figure out a way. We'll call up one of those election companies to figure out how we can
00:16:04.820
maybe. We'll allow mail-in bouting a week after the election. So what is the general agenda there
00:16:14.280
every single day? What are people, what are they talking about? I mean, I can't imagine up here,
00:16:20.180
Mark, right now on the East Coast, it's like freezing. It's 37 degrees with wind chill. I'm going down to
00:16:26.580
Florida this weekend, my place down there. And I'm praying for global warming because I'm freezing my
00:16:31.060
rear end off up here. Well, as you can see, it is, it's like the tropics here. Well, I guess it is
00:16:36.400
the tropics. We're south of the equator. It's in the low nineties, a hundred percent. I don't know
00:16:41.480
what the exact number is by like 80, 90% humidity. It is sticky, hot every afternoon. There's massive
00:16:47.180
rain showers. If you get caught in them, I got, I stepped in the puddles. They don't have good
00:16:51.040
drainage here. They don't have good infrastructure. But the agenda has been to bash Donald Trump in
00:16:58.300
America. And that includes with Gavin Newsom. And the other agenda is to praise China. Remember,
00:17:03.940
this goes back to Donald Trump pulling us out of the UN Paris Agreement, number one, climate deal.
00:17:09.520
Secondly, they never forgave him back in September of this year, just two months ago,
00:17:14.320
when he stood up before the New York General Assembly in New York at the UN building and said that
00:17:20.280
climate change and the whole UN process was a con, a fraud, a cult, that they were wrong and that
00:17:26.820
they should basically disband and admit they were wrong. China immediately followed Trump on the stage
00:17:33.500
and they announced they were increasing their pledges to the UN climate agenda. Immediately,
00:17:38.620
they became heroes of the UN. And so when you walk in this conference, John, the first thing you see
00:17:44.920
after you get hassled and they take your passport, you finally get in the door, it's a giant Chinese
00:17:49.840
pavilion and two Chinese flags, a giant sign that says China. And I'm not making this up a table
00:17:57.660
with all of Xi Jinping's books. And I swear to you, he's got the biggest smile on his face you've ever
00:18:03.080
seen. And why not? The United Nations is serving up the Western world, complete obedience to China and
00:18:11.680
making them wealthy, making them powerful and giving them economic superpower status well into the next
00:18:18.480
century. So is China have a just trying to have a full delegation there? Will Xi Jinping even go
00:18:24.480
down to Brazil? I have not heard of Xi Jinping's here, but they have a they have seemingly hourly
00:18:29.700
briefings. And these briefings and they have one of the biggest pavilions, as I mentioned,
00:18:34.300
right, you walk in. They are standing room only. They are packed. They are full of all the Western
00:18:39.880
environmentalists just lusting after. You can almost hear they're wishing the Xi Jinping were,
00:18:44.680
you know, the president of the United States. That's how much they lust for this guy and for
00:18:49.200
what China is doing. And so they just love it. In fact, Gavin Newsom said Donald Trump is losing
00:18:55.580
the clean energy race to China. And this is about no. If you want to have a fake race, go ahead.
00:19:01.180
Everything else is fake here. Fake environmentalism, fake saving the trees, fake nudity, which we can get
00:19:06.320
to in a minute. But this fake energy race is also nonsense. Well, what's that? Yeah. I mean,
00:19:13.160
what is their goal? Like what what is the purpose of the of this of the COP30? What's the purpose of
00:19:19.500
the meeting? OK, it goes back to 1992. George H.W. Bush signs the Rio Earth Summit Treaty, which
00:19:26.180
basically lays out the foundation that starts all these U.N. climate summits, which says we, the nations
00:19:31.960
of the world, acknowledge carbon dioxide as a problem. And we must regulate it in order to
00:19:37.220
save the planet, essentially. So they start the annual U.N. climate summit. They start the net
00:19:41.640
zero agenda. They start sustainable development. They start the centrally planned, you know, U.N.
00:19:47.580
bureaucrats where we get like we almost had a global shipping tax. They're trying to do a global
00:19:52.180
airline tax right now. They're doing hundreds of billions of dollars a year in climate slush funds.
00:19:57.000
All of that began. And the idea is you have to trust the science a la COVID, where basically the
00:20:03.780
U.N. is a self-serving lobbying organization. This organization, the IPCC that started the science
00:20:09.220
formed in 1988. The first U.N. report was 1990. The treaty was 1992. We are in a situation where the
00:20:17.500
United Nations has two bonuses for going for them. They get to use the science and pick their scientists
00:20:24.020
and claim we face a climate emergency. And therefore, we have to do something about it.
00:20:28.700
And they get to be in charge of the solution. So it's a self-interested lobbying organization.
00:20:33.920
That's what this has been for 33 years when the U.S. signed on to it. So anything that happens,
00:20:39.720
they get to say, oh, it's worse than we thought because our handpicked scientists say it is.
00:20:43.940
And by the way, we're now we've been in charge of the solution. They have no incentive of ever saying,
00:20:48.480
you know what, it's not as bad as we thought, because then they would lose the ability
00:20:51.620
to regulate and be in charge of the solution. That's the con of this whole entire United Nations
00:20:57.140
conference. And we are calling and I've done this now. This is big news because I was on Fox
00:21:02.120
and Friends Sunday morning. Donald Trump tweeted and embedded the video of my entire segment calling
00:21:08.840
it a scandal about this clear cutting of the highway. But in the same video, I called on Mr.
00:21:14.360
President, tear up this treaty from 1992 that George H.W. Bush got us into. If we can get the U.S.
00:21:22.560
to vacate that treaty, legal analysts are saying that it would then require the next president,
00:21:28.640
if it's Gavin Newsom or AOC, to sign a new treaty with the U.N., a new treaty, a new U.N. treaty.
00:21:35.400
And then you would have to have it ratified again. So that's what we can do. We need permanence.
00:21:40.260
We can't go Obama, Trump, Biden, Trump. No more yin yang. Mr. President, tear up the treaty.
00:21:46.280
Let's get out of this. Let's make it as hard as possible for future administrations to ever get
00:21:51.280
us back into this fiasco. So everything you just told me about this, they can't do this over a
00:21:56.160
simple Zoom phone call or a Zoom meeting like we're doing right now where I'm not even going to guess
00:22:01.440
how many miles, 3,000 miles away between you and us, maybe something like that.
00:22:04.620
Hold on to the story, color commentary. Yeah, they would never do a Zoom call. It's just not
00:22:09.020
if possible. They have to come here in person. Took me 38 hours from Washington Dulles Airport
00:22:14.160
to get finally to the city of Belém here in Brazil. Our plane had a mechanical delay due to,
00:22:21.780
I believe, the government shutdown. They couldn't work on it. They offered it. This is no joke. At
00:22:26.000
three in the morning at Washington Dulles Airport, right outside of D.C., they were offering us,
00:22:31.020
United Airlines, to then get a shuttle. First of all, go to the airport, go to baggage claim,
00:22:36.600
then wait in line, then get on a shuttle bus, then go 25 minutes to a hotel, wait probably another
00:22:41.560
half hour in the lobby, check into your room, then go to sleep, and then get back on your,
00:22:45.980
get up like an hour later, head back on the shuttle bus, go back to the airport,
00:22:50.240
go through airport security, go through baggage claim, go to the distant gate, and then your plane
00:22:54.620
would take off at 930. I ended up sleeping in the airport. Thanks, Democrats, for the government
00:22:59.500
shutdown. And then the next day we arrive in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The same thing happens,
00:23:05.080
another mechanical breakdown. We finally get her 38 hours to get to this destination. So sorry about
00:23:11.360
that. And no, you'd think a Zoom would be enough, but that's not even on the table. Everyone loves
00:23:16.740
coming. They have cruise ships in order to facilitate all the hotels because there's a hotel
00:23:22.400
shortage. Cruise ships, which have a higher carbon footprint than flying here in your hotel and
00:23:27.660
restaurants combined. They're one of the most carbon intensive activities next to private jets.
00:23:35.080
Have you learned anything while you've been over there? I mean, it's just so much asinine to me
00:23:44.160
that world leaders, and I get it, Mark, it's the whole vacation, get away from the family,
00:23:49.860
expensive dinners, all that good stuff for these world leaders.
00:23:52.580
It's got great restaurants, great Portuguese restaurants. I'm talking, they got great crabs,
00:23:58.540
great shrimp, great local fish, love the seafood. The chicken, very scrawny, mostly unedible. The
00:24:06.100
beef is actually pretty good. They have good agriculture here. That seems pretty good.
00:24:09.320
Are they serving up beef? Because I remember last time you were at, where was it, Azerbaijan?
00:24:13.740
Azerbaijan, they were serving up bug sandwiches, right?
00:24:17.760
Yes, they were. They actually had lines in all the meat. This is last year. Well, this year,
00:24:22.540
you walk into the, first of all, there's a couple scams going on.
00:24:27.520
A couple relating to the food. First of all, the UN wants you to eat bugs. The UN wants you to eat
00:24:33.620
fake meat, et cetera, lab-grown meat. You walk in, the first thing you see is Bob's Burgers,
00:24:39.540
and there's hamburgers, there's cheeseburgers, there's all kinds of different burgers on the
00:24:44.040
menu. And I just talked to Politico today, and they said they sold out of all the hamburgers
00:24:48.640
yesterday. Now, they do have a vegan offering, but as far as we can tell, no one's interested.
00:24:52.980
And not only that, but next to Bob's Burger, they have a meat supplier with chicken and beef.
00:24:58.220
And those are, these are the two longest lines of anything here at the conference center.
00:25:02.320
The scam is you can't go in and buy food. You have to buy a UN food card, a cashless society,
00:25:08.820
a digital currency, if you will. And you have to buy this card. They give you in increments of,
00:25:14.680
you know, 10 reals or 20 reals. And then when you have to like monitor it with a separate person,
00:25:20.020
get in line with this, find out how much is on your card. Almost no one's going to be able to
00:25:23.940
zero out their card because it won't come out even. And guess what? The UN is going to end up
00:25:27.740
with 30,000 delegates leaving here and all this credit on there. And there's some process where
00:25:32.740
you got to apply it. It'll take a few weeks to get your refund. Scam, scam, scam.
00:25:37.520
And that's where the second thing is PETA's hair. I give them credit. They're protesting that the
00:25:43.600
fact that UN is serving meat, given the hypocrisy. So give people to ethical people. But one problem,
00:25:49.360
I might sound like a chauvinist here, but they had a beautiful Brazilian actress and now she's going to
00:25:54.540
pose nude out in front of the conference. So you can imagine this was a pretty big event. It turns out,
00:26:00.660
and you can see the photos on PETA online. She had a bathing suit on. They painted her body around the
00:26:05.940
bathing suit. She was never nude. You had all these people disappointed. They couldn't even do
00:26:10.760
real nudity. The nudity was fake. The meat was real. The nudity was fake.
00:26:17.480
Maybe they should have went out to Portland, Oregon to find out how to do it, Mark.
00:26:21.960
No, I also was reading in my morning reading this morning. I saw Reuters was reporting that there was
00:26:36.540
They were upset about the whole program. First of all, particularly since COVID, the UN conference used
00:26:44.060
to be more entertaining to attend. In other words, I've been coming since 2002. I've been like 22 of the
00:26:50.640
last 24. And they used to be the, for lack of a better phrase, whack job environmentalists, anti-capitalists,
00:27:00.000
the socialists, the anti-development, anti-human crowd who wanted Earth to be a Garden of Eden.
00:27:05.100
You would have the environmentalists. You'd have all these wacky signs and activists and protests.
00:27:09.820
Ever, particularly since COVID, what do you think happened? Corporate collusion came in. It's been
00:27:15.120
corporatized. Everything. Now, you walk around this conference, it's all, here's AT&T. Here's
00:27:20.860
Citibank. Here's Chase Manhattan. Here's the World Economic Forum. There's a short... Everything is
00:27:26.420
corporate blandness, corporate careful wording, corporate tested signs that basically say nothing.
00:27:35.040
And I think the hardcore activists have had enough. So the indigenous people came and invaded security last
00:27:40.340
night after hours, broke into the event, you know, and upset about this. And it basically has
00:27:46.460
been. I mean, this is, this is no longer the fever dream of sort of your anti-development Greenpeace
00:27:54.060
activists. This is now the frightening reality of corporate government collusion led by the Bill Gates
00:28:00.240
and the George Soros and the Richard Bransons and the Jeff Bezos and the, with all these international
00:28:06.100
bodies. And they're imposing this agenda while looking like it's all just corporate,
00:28:11.540
corporate ease, all dull speaking. These conferences are just dullsville the last six years.
00:28:17.540
So do you, what do you do when you're in there? I mean, do you do what all come around?
00:28:21.000
We've been interviewing, we've been interviewing, we interviewed the Soros delegation today.
00:28:25.260
And they're talking about essentially trying to preserve the rainforest. What they're trying to do
00:28:31.240
and what this corporatization is, it's called the financialization of nature. Now, it used to be
00:28:37.520
where government would set aside land and the government would own it all. Well, that's not
00:28:41.680
happening anymore. Corporations, especially after COVID realized, hey, we can cash in on this. So
00:28:48.260
what's happening now is corporations, this is how you get Bill Gates being the number one farmland
00:28:52.800
owner. This is how you get the net zero agenda, putting out 10,000 small and medium-sized family farms in
00:28:58.560
the Netherlands is one example, in Ireland, culling all the cows. They're pounding the small farmers.
00:29:05.280
And guess who's taken over? The big agribusiness firms. And they're doing this with nature preserves.
00:29:11.140
And they're basically turning it into stock options where people can invest. In the absurd case here,
00:29:16.680
you have carbon offsets from wealthy white Europeans who want to travel and, you know,
00:29:22.360
the millionaire billionaire set, but they need, they have to assuage their guilt. This is what John Kerry brags
00:29:27.260
about, what Bill Gates brags about. So what have they done? There's African nations where they bought
00:29:31.800
up 20% of the land with carbon offsets, where the African countries can't develop their own natural
00:29:38.860
resources because it's owned by corporate outsiders. That's the financialization of nature. They're
00:29:44.820
trying to give lakes and streams, human rights, and it's going to be owned by this corporate entity,
00:29:51.280
sort of like turning it into a Wall Street venture. This is a really changed development. It was much
00:29:57.200
more fun battling the wacko environmentalists, you know, like Rush Limbaugh used to talk about.
00:30:02.260
This is now the sophisticated global oligarchs that we're fighting.
00:30:10.060
I return back to Washington, D.C. Sunday morning, so I leave Brazil Saturday night late.
00:30:15.500
And we're heading to Sao Paulo on Saturday, and we'll get a tour of that. That's where Gavin Newsom
00:30:20.220
actually was two days ago, giving speeches. But we took a tour to the Amazon jungle, a jungle tour.
00:30:26.980
And we talked to a lot of people there, and they're like, all the local indigenous people,
00:30:31.360
they want development. They praise the fact that the Brazilian government a few years ago put in
00:30:35.680
power lines, they have electricity. And this, of course, is to the horror of a lot of the
00:30:39.800
environmentalists and even corporations attending here, because they think this should be a Garden of
00:30:44.340
Eden, that these people should live like, you know, they should be like a zoo where Westerners come and
00:30:48.960
visit them and say, oh, look at that. Look, they're in their little native environment.
00:30:52.240
They want long life expectancy, lower infant mortality, and energy development is the greatest
00:30:58.920
asset. You walk out of this house, $5,000 for this house rental. We run out of water. Only a few
00:31:05.500
rooms are air conditioned. I'm constantly in sweat here. $5,000 for the week. You make a right out of
00:31:11.680
here. Trash piled high. Potholes everywhere. The street's uneven. It looks like it's been at Beirut
00:31:18.440
after a bombing. And the poverty is unbelievable. We sit at a restaurant and homeless people come
00:31:24.400
up and you end up giving them food. I mean, it's like, then they're talking about New York, Mark.
00:31:31.120
You just described New York. I'm not sure you're going to run for the mayor of Belém, Brazil here.
00:31:36.820
I think he would do very well. Offer everything free. Free food, free development, free housing.
00:31:42.320
Yeah, it'd be excellent. I saw the king of Sweden today. He's sort of annoyed, asking why
00:31:48.860
Europe has to foot the bill for the green new energy. And I'm like, dude, do you realize
00:31:53.260
like every single leader, prime minister, president, whatever you call them for the
00:31:57.320
respective countries of your European Union countries want this garbage? It's America
00:32:02.040
who's been footing the bill for this thing for 30, 40, 50 years, and we don't even want
00:32:06.860
Yeah. So it's nice that they're getting a taste of your own medicine. By the way, it's
00:32:13.940
I do see that. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah. It's constantly raining here. It's like
00:32:21.640
Is that why they call it the Amazon rainforest?
00:32:23.540
That's right. Yeah. By the way, even the tarantulas were fake. Let me tell you this.
00:32:28.120
We went on this jungle tour. We're going through the actual dense jungle. You got bug spray.
00:32:33.080
You got all this stuff. And they're like, oh, look at this. We found a tarantula. And
00:32:36.960
they're like, oh, everyone's all excited. Like, oh, like our group was special. Turns
00:32:40.640
out the local indigenous people who work with the tour company have this as a pet tarantula
00:32:47.140
and they bring it out to wow us, you know, tourists who are paying money and they're letting
00:32:52.100
everyone hold it. So even the tarantula is real, but it's a fake, you know, it's a fake
00:32:56.160
natural find in the woods. It's about as real as the UN climate agenda. Everything we're
00:33:03.080
finding out here. Again, the meat is real. The nudity is fake. And the tarantulas are
00:33:10.920
Straight out of a movie. Mark Morano, ClimateDepot.com. You get the last word here, my friend.
00:33:17.760
Thank you, John. Well, we're, you know, let's just hope Donald Trump gets us permanently out
00:33:22.420
of this. That's what we need to do. Check out my updates at ClimateDepot on X and also
00:33:27.200
on ClimateDepot.com. Thank you very much, John.
00:33:33.760
All your good news. Mark Morano, thanks so much. We'll talk to you soon.
00:33:39.080
Thanks to Mark Morano, folks. And thank you all for being with us today here on The Great
00:33:42.280
America Show. I hope you enjoyed that little episode we just did with Mark. You know, it takes
00:33:47.180
the edge off, a little less politic, a little bit more fun. We're trying to do that a little bit
00:33:50.920
more here on The Great America Show to boost morale and the spirits of everyone in this
00:33:56.640
very political America we're in right now. Folks, that's all for us tonight. We'll see
00:34:02.200
you back here tomorrow for The Great America Show. Truth, justice, and the American way at
00:34:06.120
the forefront. Until then, may God bless you. May God bless America. And may God bless
00:34:10.440
the great Lou Dobbs. We'll see you tomorrow, everybody.
