The Michael Knowles Show - Ep. 1 - Al Gore Saves the World...Again!

00:00:00.320 Al Gore can't defend his inconvenient lies. Al Gore's inconvenient sequel comes as his dire

00:00:07.600 climate predictions fail to materialize. Al Gore can't save the global warming cult.

00:00:13.720 The fake science is exposed. The best way to reduce your carbon emissions, don't be rich.

00:00:18.580 Somebody tell Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Gore. Al Gore says, ironically, the rich have subverted

00:00:24.700 all reason. And from Elle magazine, this is guaranteed to be fake news, Al Gore is getting

00:00:29.820 hotter. Gross. Al Gore, defender of the planet, inventor of the internet, groper of masseuses, 0.92

00:00:35.820 is back. Ten years after his feature-length fantasy film, An Inconvenient Truth, predicted Armageddon

00:00:41.860 in a decade, the former future president brings us an inconvenient sequel, Truth to Power, in which

00:00:48.180 he steadfastly refuses to correct all of the inconveniently false predictions he made in

00:00:52.540 the first movie. We will analyze. Plus, the panel of deplorables joins us. The conservative

00:00:58.160 millennial, Jacob Berry and Zoe Rachel, will discuss Russia expelling US diplomats, potential

00:01:04.000 war with North Korea, and the worst news of all, truly devastating, the mooch is out as communications 1.00

00:01:09.920 director. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.

00:01:12.820 Devastating news. Absolutely devastating. This came out like 10 minutes ago. Scaramucci,

00:01:26.060 after 10 days on the job, is out as the White House communications director. And this is the

00:01:30.900 first episode of our show. Can you believe they gave me a show? I think I'm the first guy in history

00:01:36.040 to get his own show. But he gave me a job. He did give my producer, Marshall, a job. I think I'm the

00:01:41.160 first guy in history to get his own show for not writing a book. So that's really great. I'm really

00:01:45.980 happy to have it. This show, you know, it's going to be, you come for the conversation, you stay for

00:01:50.280 the covfefe. We've got a great panel coming up later. But first, we have to dive right into Al Gore.

00:01:55.300 So let's get right into it. We knew it was coming. When he made that first movie in 2006,

00:02:00.020 what would you have predicted was more likely in 10 years? Armageddon or St. Al ringing more money

00:02:06.540 out of this racket? Clearly, it was the latter. You know, it's expensive. He's got to pay for his

00:02:11.420 beachfront property that is going to be flooded soon, I suppose. He's got to pay for all those

00:02:15.640 jets. His house, his Tennessee house, consumes between 12% and 20% more energy than the average 0.85

00:02:21.420 home. So he's got to pay for all of that carbon offset, presumably. But we have a lot to dissect here.

00:02:26.780 So let's, let's get right into it. I saw it so that you don't have to. Let's look at the beginning

00:02:30.780 of the trailer for an inconvenient sequel. Well, I'm here to tell you now, ManBearPig is very real,

00:02:38.420 and he most certainly exists. I'm serial. But have no fear, because I am here to save you.

00:02:46.900 And someday, when the world is rid of ManBearPig, everyone will say, thank you, Al Gore. 0.99

00:02:53.800 You're super awesome. The end.

00:02:58.120 Are you sure that was from the movie? I can't remember if that was from the movie or somewhere

00:03:01.240 else. Now, that isn't fair. That is not fair. We shouldn't be making fun of our opponents like

00:03:06.160 that. By the way, the reason it isn't fair is that Al Gore would never exaggerate his role in

00:03:11.320 world history or his self-importance, I don't think, right?

00:03:14.080 My service in the United States Congress. I took the initiative in creating the internet.

00:03:19.940 Oh, gosh. That doesn't look good. All right. Well, let's get into the actual trailer if

00:03:26.940 we can. Do we have it? Can we bring it up?

00:03:28.560 It's supposed to be 70 degrees today. It's freezing here. Speaking of global warming,

00:03:34.800 where is we need some global warming? It's freezing.

00:03:38.800 The most criticized scene in the movie An Inconvenient Truth was showing that the combination of sea

00:03:47.380 level rise and storm surge would flood the 9-11 memorial site. And people said, what a terrible

00:03:53.660 exaggeration. Hurricane Sally slammed into New York City last night, flooding the World Trade Center site.

00:03:59.640 You have to hand it to Al Gore. This guy has cojones of steel. He opens up his trailer with 0.93

00:04:07.100 some of the most stunning hypocrisy in the entire movie. One thing we're always told by the alarmists,

00:04:12.320 the global warming alarmists, is that weather is not climate. So Donald Trump, you saw in that clip,

00:04:17.500 he says, you know what? We need a little bit more global warming. It's a little chilly here. And

00:04:20.740 people say, well, that's just the weather. And the weather is different than the climate because

00:04:24.840 the climate is a lot of weather or something like that. But then Al Gore immediately goes to

00:04:29.800 one weather event that happened in New York. I lived through it. I was actually, my apartment

00:04:33.940 was flooded during that storm. That wasn't the worst storm in New York history. There have been,

00:04:39.080 I think, something like 84 major hurricanes and cyclones in the last three, 400 years in New York

00:04:44.740 City. That was certainly not the worst one. There was one in 1938, killed 600 people. And by the way,

00:04:50.860 Al Gore's claim in his original movie, I don't think it's that every once in a while,

00:04:55.140 parts of New York are going to flood. The streets are going to flood. I think it was that

00:04:58.460 major cities would be underwater. But it is a really masterful painting over and glossing over

00:05:04.900 of that first assumption. And really, that stunning hypocrisy sets you up for the rest of the movie.

00:05:10.460 Let's keep going on with the trailer.

00:05:11.960 Talking about breaking the impasse. Virtually every nation in the entire world agreed to get to

00:05:18.580 zero greenhouse emissions. It is unprecedented. It's time to put America first.

00:05:25.360 That includes a promise to cancel billions in climate change spending.

00:05:30.060 The gall, the unmitigated gall of our president to put the country that he's the president of before

00:05:36.020 all of the other countries in the world. Can you believe it? It's unimaginable. But there are a lot

00:05:41.900 of things that the rest of the world does and America doesn't do that are pretty good. The rest of

00:05:47.180 the world does play soccer. We don't do that. And that seems just fine. The rest of the world

00:05:51.480 has abandoned the Christian roots of Western civilization. I'm pretty glad that we've managed 1.00

00:05:56.000 to keep doing that. The rest of the world abridges the liberty of its citizens, even in the Anglosphere,

00:06:00.860 even in the United Kingdom. If you say something that's politically incorrect, if you make comments

00:06:05.920 about Islam or other religions or political ideas, you can be arrested for doing just that.

00:06:11.620 The United States has done quite a lot of things on its own and avoided a lot of the conflicts and

00:06:16.960 troubles that the rest of the world has. But he takes another pot shot at Trump. This trailer might

00:06:21.940 as well be the Donald Trump trailer. It is totally a reaction to it. And probably Al Gore thought that

00:06:29.000 he could make a little bit of money by tying it into the news. But alas, alas, nobody, nobody has been

00:06:34.480 going to see this movie. Let's go on. Do we have more of this trailer?

00:06:38.260 The next generation would be justified in looking back at us and asking, what were you thinking?

00:06:42.840 Couldn't you hear what the scientists were saying? Couldn't you hear what Mother Nature

00:06:46.480 was screaming at you? This movement is in the tradition of every great movement that has

00:06:53.420 advanced humankind. It is right to save humanity. It is wrong to pollute this earth. It is right to

00:07:01.040 give hope to the future generation. I do not hear Mother Nature screaming at me. I hear Al Gore

00:07:05.940 screaming at me. It's very unpleasant. That is that this is the sort of sad thing about this movie.

00:07:11.980 After I saw it, I actually tweeted out that I genuinely almost felt sorry for Al Gore because

00:07:17.860 as you saw, he doesn't really take on the criticisms from his first movie. He kind of glides over a couple

00:07:23.700 of them. Most of the movie isn't even about global warming. He doesn't really go into data.

00:07:28.280 The movie is just about Al Gore. Al Gore taking meetings with people. Al Gore making phone calls

00:07:33.860 to people. Al Gore doing everything he can to stay relevant. But unfortunately, it doesn't seem like

00:07:40.260 people are responding anymore. The trouble with making a movie in which you predict Armageddon

00:07:44.860 is you have to be right or you can't make a sequel to it. So I went to see it on opening night in Los

00:07:50.180 Angeles. Opening night for this movie in the left-wing center of the world, it was only playing in two

00:07:56.220 theaters in LA. And not just that, I went with my fiance to go see it. We constituted 25% of the

00:08:02.560 audience. There were eight people in the whole theater. So the louder he yells, the less people

00:08:09.000 listen and vice versa, I think. Now, by the end of this clip, he actually does get to the heart of

00:08:14.600 the matter. He gets to really what the left-wing agenda is for this country and what the environmentalist

00:08:20.040 agenda is. Can we keep going? I guess we skipped over his, I remember it. So even though we skipped

00:08:32.460 over his words, what he says are, don't let anybody tell you that we're going to Mars. Don't let anybody

00:08:38.220 tell you that we're going to colonize someplace else. This world, this is our home. We're staying

00:08:42.720 here. So we have to stop doing whatever. We have to stop driving our cars and having nice,

00:08:49.880 productive lives. That is the heart of this left-wing agenda. Because in the old days,

00:08:54.760 this is not what we saw. Now we're being told do less, drive less, produce less, travel less,

00:09:02.080 pollute less. There's no positive message that we're getting out of this. This was not always the

00:09:07.700 case. Another, a democratic president, someone who actually made it to the presidency from the

00:09:12.340 Democratic Party had a very different message even 50 years ago. Let's hear it.

00:09:15.860 We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon.

00:09:26.320 We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other thing. Not because they are easy,

00:09:32.660 but because they are hard. Because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept.

00:09:37.960 One we are unwilling to postpone. And one we intend to win.

00:09:43.880 We choose to crush tin cans. We choose to cut those little plastic things that hold the cans

00:09:50.700 together so the dolphins don't choke. We choose to crush tin cans. That is, the Democratic Party

00:09:55.740 has come a very long way since, from President Kennedy to Al Gore. And it's a really sad devolution

00:10:02.440 that we're seeing with them. The movie isn't about global warming. One neat little trick he does in it,

00:10:07.960 though, you've seen the nomenclature change over time. Initially in the 70s and 80s, it was global

00:10:12.320 cooling. Then it became global warming. Then it became climate change when the scientific observations

00:10:18.380 didn't match up with the predictions. Now Al Gore's changed it again. The phrase he uses constantly,

00:10:24.080 incessantly in the movie is the climate crisis. The climate crisis. And this serves two purposes.

00:10:30.620 One, it's just as ambiguous as climate change. So it's unfalsifiable. But climate crisis also means,

00:10:37.120 come on, everybody, listen to me more. Come see my movie. Care about this. He's seen that interest

00:10:41.840 in global warming has ebbed and receded immensely since 2006. So the end is also pathetic. This movie 0.97

00:10:50.320 ends like a bad nonprofit fundraising video. They have a hashtag up on the screen. They say,

00:10:56.020 tweet this. Be inconvenient. Go to our Facebook page. It's really, really pathetic. Whatever you

00:11:01.360 thought of that first, I mean, the first movie was nonsensical. It was stupid. It was alarmist. 1.00

00:11:06.440 But it was good propaganda. It was actually a pretty good work of propaganda. He won the Oscar for it,

00:11:11.260 I think. He got his Nobel Prize for his PowerPoint presentation. This is really phoned in. It's a cheap

00:11:18.100 money grab. And sad for him, it isn't making any money. So before you rush out to the sequel,

00:11:23.800 after that great recommendation, there are some corrections from the first movie that he does

00:11:29.920 not address in this movie. You would think he'd take the opportunity, but he doesn't.

00:11:33.760 So we've all heard about a lot of the scandals. At East Anglia University, the United Nations

00:11:38.260 climate scientists were caught manipulating data, trying to hide the decline to account for periods

00:11:43.700 in which warming did not occur over the past 15 and 20 years. The IPCC, actually, the Internet

00:11:49.760 governmental panel on climate change, did admit in a draft of its 2013 report that a lot of their

00:11:56.240 predictions haven't come true. So they were at least a little bit more forthright than climate

00:12:00.520 evangelist Al Gore. But in 2007, so just shortly after the movie came out, the British high court

00:12:06.740 identified nine errors in the movie that were so egregious that if you showed the movie to school

00:12:13.560 children in the UK, you actually had to read a disclaimer. This is one case where he needed a trigger

00:12:18.460 warning because there were so many falsities in the movie that we had to correct them.

00:12:22.780 And since then, we've seen that many other predictions from the film haven't come true.

00:12:26.920 But let's just go through them really quickly so that you can be prepared when you become the fifth

00:12:31.480 person to go see Al Gore's inconvenient sequel. So in the movie, Al Gore predicted a 20-foot sea level

00:12:38.660 rise in the near future. The judge in that 2007 decision said,

00:12:42.280 the Armageddon scenarios he predicts, insofar as it suggests that sea level rises of seven meters

00:12:47.400 might occur in the immediate future, is not in line with the scientific consensus. So much for

00:12:52.720 that scientific consensus, the 97%, the 150% of scientists that think Al Gore should have been

00:12:58.140 president or something like that. I don't remember what the exact study was. The second, the Pacific

00:13:03.420 Atolls, quote, are being inundated because of anthropogenic global warming, was a claim made in the movie.

00:13:09.600 There is no evidence of that. There's no evidence of evacuations happening there.

00:13:14.100 It was just made up whole cloth. Number three, global warming would shut down the Gulf Stream, 0.97

00:13:20.300 the stream between the continental Europe and the UK and the east coast of the United States.

00:13:25.840 Even the UN climate panel said that that was unlikely. The UN climate panel said that'd be

00:13:30.160 unlikely before Al Gore made his movie. But he put it in there anyway. I guess he spins a good yarn.

00:13:35.480 It makes for a good film. Then the film also showed an exact fit between carbon dioxide level rises and

00:13:44.480 temperature level rises. But the data don't bear that out. The judge pointed this out. There is some

00:13:48.900 scientific consensus that there is a relationship between the two, but a one-to-one direct line,

00:13:55.200 there is no evidence that that exists. Al Gore staked a lot of his ridiculous film on it.

00:13:59.920 And then Kilimanjaro, the snows of Kilimanjaro. Mr. Gore predicted in 2006 that the snows of

00:14:06.620 Kilimanjaro would be gone within 10 years. Marshall, have you seen it lately? Have you looked at any?

00:14:11.280 Yeah, I'm looking right now.

00:14:12.080 It looks pretty good.

00:14:12.980 You haven't pulled up. There's snow still on there. That's not from 10 years ago.

00:14:16.100 No, we're actually going to board it as a company this year.

00:14:18.120 There are still snows on Kilimanjaro. How wonderful for Mother Nature. How sad for Al Gore.

00:14:25.360 Another prediction similar is that Lake Chad is drying up because of global warming. This one

00:14:30.620 is a little trickier because Lake Chad actually is drying up depending on the season and over time.

00:14:35.620 But there's no evidence that it's caused by man-made global warming. This is what's really

00:14:40.240 hard too where people say a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. Whenever anything happens in

00:14:46.780 the environment, nobody knows anything about environmental science, including myself.

00:14:51.440 But because this has become such a political issue, anytime it's a partially cloudy day in Los

00:14:57.200 Angeles, the mass populace will attribute it to global warming. And there isn't evidence for a

00:15:02.580 lot of these things. So with the drying up of Lake Chad, there are a lot of other reasons that have

00:15:06.320 been proposed. There's been a massive population increase. There's grazing. And there's also regional

00:15:11.460 climate variability. So not all climate variability is due to some global phenomenon or man-caused

00:15:18.960 pollution. Places change over time. And there's much more evidence that that's what's causing the

00:15:24.460 Lake Chad dry up than you're driving your SUVs. Hurricane Katrina. Al Gore said that Hurricane Katrina

00:15:32.800 shows the effects of global warming. And this is another incredible evidence where weather is not

00:15:38.640 climate and climate is not weather, except when it's convenient for Al Gore. Then there's a one-to-one

00:15:44.380 correlation. But when conservatives say it, it's ridiculous. You're uneducated. You're rubes. 0.98

00:15:49.700 There is no evidence that Hurricane Katrina was caused by global warming. There is a lot of evidence

00:15:54.660 that Hurricane Katrina and the devastation that it wrought is caused by insufficient levies and bad

00:15:59.720 Democrat municipal leadership. That is a city that's been run by Democrats forever. And they didn't

00:16:05.280 prepare for these potential disasters. Not a lot of evidence, again, that your SUV caused that terrible

00:16:12.780 disaster. And then the polar bears. Those poor, don't you remember, after that movie came out,

00:16:18.760 there were all these memes going around. That lone polar bear on a little floating ice sheet because

00:16:24.820 all of his pals had drowned. They were in danger of going extinct. All the ice was melting, so they were

00:16:30.340 swimming and drowning. There is just three numbers that we should read off that will disabuse you of

00:16:36.940 this notion that Al Gore propagated in his film. In 1960, do you know how many polar bears there were

00:16:42.320 in the world? Estimated 8,000 to 10,000 polar bears in the world. That is in danger of extinction.

00:16:49.000 Now, in 2005, just before Al Gore made his movie, 45 years after 1960, there was an estimated 20,000 to 25,000

00:16:57.540 polar bears in existence. That's pretty good. Don't call it a comeback. That's a great increase since

00:17:03.120 the 1960s. But what about 10 years later? There have to be, what, five or 10 polar bears left in the world?

00:17:08.420 Not true. The polar bear population is now estimated between 23,000 and 32,000 polar bears. Great news for the

00:17:16.580 polar bears. I'm so happy to see that. Bad news for Al Gore and his first movie and his sequel. And then finally, Al Gore

00:17:23.480 claimed that the coral reef would be bleached and destroyed by global warming. But again, there is

00:17:28.900 insufficient evidence of this. There's insufficient evidence that the coral reefs haven't adapted. And we still

00:17:35.020 have plenty of reefs to go around and snorkel and scuba dive by. So with that, let's bring in our panel of

00:17:42.540 deplorables. We have a truly, truly deplorable panel today. We have, from the Blaze and the conservative

00:17:48.700 millennial vlog, we have Allie Stuckey, the conservative millennial. From PJTV and about a 0.96

00:17:53.960 gazillion other media outlets, we have Alfonso, Zoe, Rachel. And from the alley next to the Chatsworth

00:18:00.620 Psychiatric Hospital, we have Jacob Airy. Thank you all for joining us today. Let's go right into Al Gore.

00:18:07.740 Zoe, why are we wasting so much time talking about healthcare and ISIS and the North Korea crisis when

00:18:14.540 we could be talking about the sun monster? The sun monster is going to kill us all. 0.92

00:18:20.880 Hey, man, bear pig. You know, I probably shouldn't say this on TV, man, but when you say let's go into 0.97

00:18:25.340 Al Gore, that sounds dirty. That's a great point. I should have reconsidered my thoughts.

00:18:30.680 I don't like the way that sounds, man. There's a lot of guests being there.

00:18:35.420 That is an X-rated way to begin the Michael Noles show, going right into Al Gore.

00:18:39.180 You started it. You started it. You know, the thing with Al Gore is I think that he's undergone

00:18:47.000 a transgender change and he's decided to represent himself as Mother Earth. And if you really cared 0.99

00:18:52.840 about the environment, I don't think you would be encouraging people, you know, to waste their gas

00:18:57.620 money and waste gas and emissions going to see his movie. That is a great point. Jacob, if we just

00:19:03.540 count a few more Chads out of those counties in Florida, do you think Al Gore can finally be

00:19:07.600 president? That's what this is all about, right? It's just 16, 17 years later, he can't get over

00:19:12.660 it. I know. And what's crazy about it is Al Gore, when he won his Nobel Peace Prize for doing this

00:19:21.040 slideshow, there were people who actually deserved it. There was a lady who was proposed by a Holocaust 0.72

00:19:28.100 organization. Her name was Irene Sindler. And she actually rescued 2,500 children, Jewish children,

00:19:35.680 in Poland during the Nazi occupation. And she lost to Al Gore, who did a video that has largely been

00:19:45.000 debunked. So I honestly think that even if we got rid of all those rednecks who just want to drive 1.00

00:19:53.040 their Ford F-150s, I still think Al Gore would lose in the long run. Typical right-wing propaganda.

00:20:00.500 You think that some hero of the Holocaust deserves a prize more than Al Gore, who told us to crush tin 1.00

00:20:07.220 cans. Absolutely disgusting hate speech. Allie, do millennials care about global warming? Or is

00:20:12.620 this just some baby boomer hippy dippy fantasy? Well, if they buy into this anti-Trump propaganda

00:20:18.920 that Al Gore is pushing, there could be many millennials that do. Unfortunately, we're duped by

00:20:23.520 things that we scroll on past on Facebook, sensationalized headlines. And so if you're

00:20:28.580 someone who is easily duped, then maybe you could go to something like this and actually believe that

00:20:33.900 the world is coming to an end. But if millennials actually stepped back and thought about the fact

00:20:38.740 that Al Gore is saying that our quality of life is lowering, that life expectancy is lowering because

00:20:44.260 of fossil fuels. And they actually thought about the fact that the opposite is true, that the quality

00:20:48.760 of life has become better, that life expectancy has lengthened. Even while we're using more and

00:20:54.060 more fossil fuels, then maybe they would see that what he's telling isn't the entire picture.

00:20:58.760 And if Al Gore really cared about people, the 7 billion people in the world, their access to

00:21:03.800 clean water, their quality of life, he would actually be pushing fossil fuels. But he's not. He's doing

00:21:08.920 the opposite. So anyone that doesn't see this as propaganda, millennials or not, sadly, they're part of 0.64

00:21:15.000 the problem. To quote a great man, sad. Speaking of gullible fools, there is this really creepy aspect

00:21:22.100 to the movie where the last third of it shows him going around to these cult-like gatherings and he's 1.00

00:21:28.200 teaching them. He calls them his global warming trainings or his climate crisis trainings. And you

00:21:33.380 see all of these little clerics of the global warming religion learning from their pope, their high

00:21:38.640 priest. So is that what this is? Is that what this is about? Just secular religion and gullible fools? 0.79

00:21:45.000 Well, I'm getting a bad transmission, but I think if I can try to piece together what you're saying, 0.99

00:21:52.500 because I did hear, I heard the magic word of religion. That's what I think this whole thing

00:21:56.000 is. I think it's state-sponsored religion as it is. But yeah, he is preying on the self-righteousness

00:22:02.640 of these millennials. And by the way, I feel bad for these millennials because of all this

00:22:05.640 global warming stuff. These kids are having to pay some awful gas prices. I feel, you know,

00:22:10.940 you guys first get your driver's license and you're ready to hit the road and take off the gas.

00:22:14.160 You guys got to pay these high gas prices. That's really, that really sucks. It's because 0.90

00:22:17.620 of people like Al Gore that we have to pay these high gas prices for all these boutique fuels and

00:22:22.220 all these regulations that they put on fuels and these taxes that they put on fuels,

00:22:25.580 preaching this fear-mongering that they do.

00:22:27.160 I blame Bush and the Russians, but agree to disagree. Agree to disagree. We have to go now 0.54

00:22:31.740 and sign off of Facebook and YouTube because you all who don't subscribe to The Daily Wire can't keep

00:22:37.580 watching it. It costs $10 a month or $100 a year. And you get the rest of this absolutely deplorable

00:22:44.560 panel. We're going to be talking about Scaramucci. We're going to be talking about all the news,

00:22:47.900 but you can't see it unless you subscribe. So go to The Daily Wire right now, subscribe. You'll get

00:22:52.760 The Michael Knowles Show, The Ben Shapiro Show, The Andrew Klavan Show, and a lot of other perks.

00:22:57.600 So go over there right now and Facebook and YouTube. We'll see you later.

00:23:11.940 Okay. So we have news now that Russia will expel 755 U.S. diplomats in retaliation to new

00:23:19.360 sanctions that we've passed. Here we actually have video footage of our weak, corrupt president 0.72

00:23:24.720 colluding with the Russians. Do we have it? My last request for you. After my election, 0.87

00:23:29.520 I have more talks with you. Okay. I understand. I transmit this information to Vladimir and

00:23:36.180 understand with you. That was the last president. That wasn't the new president. That was the weak

00:23:41.360 and corrupt president Barack Obama. Okay, interesting. Well, things don't look good in the U.S.-Russia 0.99

00:23:46.260 relationship. Or maybe that's exactly what Trump wants us to think. Ali, can we finally drop this

00:23:52.640 Russia collusion narrative? Is it over finally? I don't think it's ever going to be over until

00:23:58.460 they get what they want. What do they want? Do they want Trump to be impeached? I don't really

00:24:04.600 know. I don't think it's going to be over. But frankly, I don't think it's that much of a story.

00:24:09.500 Yes, there's tension between the U.S. and Russia. But what else is new? All he's doing is dialing the

00:24:14.900 number of diplomats back to what it was before. 755 diplomats in Russia is actually a huge number. I think

00:24:21.540 he only have around 50 Russian diplomats in America. So he's just dialing it back. This is

00:24:27.180 political tick for attack. It's not that big of a deal, honestly.

00:24:32.480 Jacob, are the U.S. and Russia headed for conflict right now? Or has Trump ushered in an actual Russian 0.55

00:24:38.280 reset, which Hillary Clinton tried to do and mistranslated the word? Is this a big nothing

00:24:42.480 burger or are we headed for conflict? We've always been in conflict with Russia. So I honestly think 0.99

00:24:49.560 it's just a big nothing burger. I agree with Ali. It's just business as usual. He did the same

00:24:55.160 thing during the Obama administration when Obama shut down some of their embassies. That's all this

00:25:00.960 is. It's just him trying to say, hey, look at me. I ride on a horse with no shirt on. That's all that

00:25:06.880 Putin is doing right now. So we haven't had a war in a while. It's been all of our wars have kind of

00:25:12.540 been winding down. Can we get this one? How are the Democrats going to spin this? And how are we

00:25:19.260 going to finally get some war over here? I'll tell you what, man, I usually hear the

00:25:24.560 popular thing. The popular saying is we need a war to increase our economy. As far as I remember,

00:25:28.840 we've been at war for a little while. And I don't see people feeling all that great about the economy.

00:25:34.220 But yeah, sure. And who are we talking about doing war with today? We're talking about

00:25:38.280 North Korea. Is that the one? Hey, that's a great point. 1.00

00:25:42.400 Don't, don't, huh? You know, and by the way, you know, Kim Jong, listen here, you know, you don't

00:25:47.680 want to mess with us too much, you know, because Americans, we love barbecue. And we hear that

00:25:51.360 Korean barbecue is really good. So, you know, if you don't want to be on our grill, you know,

00:25:56.340 leave us alone. You know, I'm glad you brought that up. We actually have live footage right now.

00:26:01.160 We have a live feed into Pyongyang as tensions ramp up with North Korea. Can we ping into that?

00:26:05.940 I'm so lonely, so lonely, so lonely and sadly alone. There's no one, just me only, sitting on my

00:26:23.280 rental home. I work weary hard and make up great friends. But I'm not going to cut it.

00:26:31.260 No one understands. Seems like no one takes me searing restry. And so I'm lonely.

00:26:45.980 A bit of lonely.

00:26:48.960 All rid of me.

00:26:54.020 Incredible footage. Incredible footage. This is what you subscribe to The Daily Wire for.

00:26:59.020 Jacob, shouldn't we just be a little bit more compassionate and accommodating of the Kim

00:27:03.800 regime? Aren't they just a little bit lonely?

00:27:07.480 Oh, absolutely not. We need to keep our hammer on them. We need to be watching them. They are up to

00:27:13.340 no good. And these missile tests show this. I'm not advocating we should do an invasion or anything,

00:27:19.720 but we should definitely keep a sharp eye on them. They are always trying something new to

00:27:26.800 cancel out democracy because they want to spread their red terror wherever they go. 0.98

00:27:32.860 Have you no empathy, you monstrous Republican. Ali, the Kim regime has really been aggressive 0.94

00:27:39.960 lately. They've been shooting off a lot of missiles, one missile very close to Japan.

00:27:43.820 What does Kim Jong-un think that he has to gain from this? What's his end game here?

00:27:47.960 I think his end game is the same that it's always been, which is what he thinks will be absolute

00:27:54.480 power. Now, whether his idea of how much power he actually has is conflated because he is so

00:28:00.120 isolated and lonely, we don't really know. But that's why exactly what we just heard is that

00:28:05.280 Trump needs to keep a sharp eye on him and put pressure on China. And that's exactly what he's

00:28:10.320 doing. He's calling out China for not keeping these things at bay, which is absolutely true. 1.00

00:28:15.280 I don't think that we can any longer trust China to help us in that department.

00:28:19.140 You mispronounced it. It is China, but otherwise great points. I totally agree. 0.99

00:28:23.540 So is President Trump going to blow up the world or has his handling of international affairs been

00:28:28.940 pretty reassuring? I thought he was going to blow up the world because there ain't no money in it.

00:28:38.360 That's a great, that's really all you have to say about it. That's a really great point.

00:28:43.220 We're going to make that into an article. Brilliant, brilliant. He's blown up his White 0.97

00:28:48.160 House. He's blown up all of my excitement about this White House because of the terrible news

00:28:53.180 that came out just 20 minutes ago. Anthony Scaramucci, the Mooch, Wall Street executive, 0.85

00:29:00.120 White House communications director. He is out from his post after just 10 days. To quote a great man,

00:29:06.280 sad. The Mooch got Reince fired. Reince's replacement got the Mooch fired. 1.00

00:29:11.000 Ali, is this chaos narrative correct? Is that what's going on? Is this

00:29:14.420 total chaos or is there any strategy here? Actually, no. I think it's because Scaramucci

00:29:20.840 made a mistake in entrusting a reporter, which he never should have done. He said some things that

00:29:28.500 he probably didn't mean, but he said. And I think for a communications director, that wasn't really

00:29:32.880 good luck. So I actually commend Trump for saying, you know what, none of this nonsense. I think he's

00:29:37.660 actually cutting out some chaos by firing someone who otherwise would have done a good job, but just

00:29:43.980 messed up. I don't think we have any room for this kind of tomfoolery anymore. So that's why they had

00:29:48.840 to say, sorry, Scaramucci, you're out. I guess that's true. Whenever I'm having a little fight

00:29:53.020 with my fiance, or I'm arguing with the Daily Wire god King Jeremy Boring, the first thing I do

00:29:58.680 is call up left-wing reporter Ryan Lizza at the New Yorker. That's the first thing I do. I say,

00:30:02.920 you know, Ryan, I'm sorry, I got to take my call again. I'm just really upset at all of my friends

00:30:07.160 and colleagues. And it's too bad it didn't work out for Scaramucci. You know, George Steinbrenner

00:30:12.180 very famously fired all of his top employees over and over again. He rehired them, he'd fire them again.

00:30:17.280 And he is the winningest owner in baseball history. So is Trump's revolving door a sign of

00:30:23.420 adaptability and strength, or does it bode badly for the Trump administration?

00:30:32.880 Answering for what I can get from that, and I could use some of that Trump money so I can upload

00:30:37.820 or make use of a better signal amplifier or something like that.

00:30:41.860 Once we get those better trade deals, then the economy is going to boom. We'll be able to get

00:30:44.940 you a better signal. There you go. There you go. And if this is concerning Scaramucci, it's like,

00:30:51.920 man, that's bad, dude. It's like, I've kept the job longer than you. And that's nothing to brag

00:30:56.960 about. But you know, if you're going to the fire thing, we gotta get those memes going where Trump

00:31:03.240 is like going, you're fired. He's gotta come on Twitter and say you're fired or something like

00:31:06.180 that. And I'm not even sure who Scaramucci was fired by. Was he fired by his wife?

00:31:11.140 He also was fired by his wife. It looks like he's getting a divorce.

00:31:14.720 He worked for President Trump just long enough to get divorced. Not a good tenure.

00:31:18.380 Hey, but right. Oh, and I'm sorry if I'm stepping on it because like my chance, but I think,

00:31:23.280 I think Scaramucci may have a career as a rap artist, man, because he uses more foul language

00:31:27.460 than any rap album I've ever heard. That is great advice. I hope that the

00:31:31.880 Mooch is watching really good advice from Zoe. You should, you should take it down.

00:31:35.680 Jacob, Sean Spicer has got to be feeling great right now. He had the second shortest tenure of

00:31:40.840 any press secretary in U S history, and he still lasted six, seven months. Scaramucci gone after

00:31:45.940 only 10 days. Why did he only last a week? Was it, was it that New Yorker article or was it,

00:31:51.820 did he unexpectedly hire the man who was going to fire him? What were, what were the workings like?

00:31:57.580 I honestly think it was tension between him and the new white house chief of staff,

00:32:02.720 John Kelly, former Marine general. The, the rumor was that Scaramucci was bragging that he had

00:32:08.720 unlimited access to Trump that he could go right around Kelly and go straight to the oval office.

00:32:15.100 And reports are saying that at the beginning of the week or just yesterday, uh, Kelly told the

00:32:21.440 staff, no, I am in charge. I am running things. I'm the chief of staff. No one goes through,

00:32:27.640 goes through me or goes to Trump through me. And so I really think, uh, I really think that that's

00:32:33.640 what this was was scary. Scaramucci wanted unlimited access and Kelly was like not happening. That's,

00:32:39.100 uh, that's my honest, uh, take on this whole thing. I think he might've been a victim of global

00:32:42.960 warming, but who knows, who knows? It'll be for us to debate. Thank you all for being here. Ali,

00:32:48.680 Zoe, Jacob, great to have you. I'm sure we'll have you back. Now get out of here.

00:32:52.900 What a deplorable panel. What a deplorable panel that is. Now it is time for the final thought.

00:32:58.340 Global warming evokes a religious passion, particularly among the secular left, not merely

00:33:09.240 because it coincidentally justifies every policy goal they've harbored for a century, but even

00:33:14.700 more because it offers atheists the satisfaction of their natural religious longings. Climate 0.89

00:33:20.300 change is unfalsifiable as evidenced by the ever-changing nomenclature, global cooling, global

00:33:26.080 warming, the catch-all climate change, and now Al Gore's even more mealy-mouthed climate crisis.

00:33:32.480 This quasi-religion offers sin in pollution, redemption in recycling, even the sale of indulgences 0.99

00:33:38.480 in carbon offset credits. Fantasies of imminent carbon-induced Armageddon are secular eschatology,

00:33:45.300 and Al Gore is a modern-day Millerite. But St. Al and his apostles would do well to ask themselves

00:33:50.400 a sobering question. How would you reorient your life if the world doesn't actually need
