" Saw Brett in the elevator, he's up in New York, I saw him in the elevator and he is always so gracious and so kind and honestly, none of the news people have any reason to be kind to me, I think I make thier life a living hell. -- -- But it's good to have him up in New York. Now, Al Gore is back. Which must mean that the Obama administration thinks and health care is in the bag. I'm not sure. Because now they're turning their attention to the climate change bill. Gore is showing up."
" All over the friendly confines of the Obama adoring health care reform promoting climate change endorsing media outlets like MSNBC and this morning ABC. Unfortunately for Al something happened on the way to the carbon trading bank scattered shower of journalism broke out over Good Morning America with Diane Sawyer. She surprised him with this little gem. Here's Glenn Beck giving the challenge to you about cows and methane."
" I'm siding with PETA on this one. Once again asking Al Gore if you really want to save the planet Al why did you put down the cheeseburgers and pick up your veggie burger. Time for maybe -- soy milk and tofurkey. --"
" Well you know -- there is a serious issue about the connection between the the growing need intensity of diets around the world and damage to the environment. That is a legitimate issue. And like a lot of people I eat less meat less than I used to. I'm not a vegetarian don't plan to become one. But it's a healthy choice to eat more vegetables and fruits. So it's not it's not a laughable issue diet -- is an issue that's connected. But the biggest issue by far is CO2 and methane comes from a lot of sources -- -- including it is but the principal component of natural gas. Coal mines, rice, a lot of sources. And it plays a somewhat larger role than scientists thought in the past So, tofurkey for you? Ah, no, -- I don't plan to."
" Ha, no, no, and I don't plan on buying anymore of your BS either, I don't. -- -- You know -- as grandfather used to say, He looked as uncomfortable as a prostitute in church. I think there might be something a little more uncomfortable he looked as uncomfortable as an honest man in Washington. But usually do look a little uncomfortable when you're deceitful. Gore has deceived us time and time again about the -- -- the biggest cause of this horrific problem. It's not your SUV. According to the chair of the intergovernmental panel on climate change, Al Gore's beloved IP CC. Quote. The UN food and agriculture organization FAO. Has estimated that direct emissions from meat production account for about 18% Of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions. This when he said the BBC news. Get this. Transportation. By contrast. Accounts for 13%. 13% human kinds greenhouse gas footprint. That's not according to me that's the IP CC CC, know the one that he talked so much about about the movie. According to the IP CC eating meat is worse then all of the cars cars, trucks, suvs, buses, trains, planes, jets jets, presumably even the space."
" shuttle launches combined. Well. Maybe they're just one of the tiny tiny teeny almost imperceivable -- minority that just don't agree with Al Gore. Who you know these people they they probably believe that the earth is flat and the moon landing was fake we shouldn't even discuss them. Oh I'm sorry. Maybe before I dismiss the IP CC as a bunch of flat-earthers -- what has Al Gore said about these people who made the connection between eating meat and global warming? "
" I think that we have all made some progress. Thanks in large measure to the fantastic work of the scientists of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. And is its to realize that these 2500. 2500 scientists the top of there. their fields around the world have now issued four unanimous reports. In spite of that there is still work to do."
" Hm, like not eating meat. No, Al Gore called and fantastic, said that this was -- unanimous, four times. -- Wow. Sorry Al, I thought this is all about saving the planet. I mean if that's the goal here if global warming or climate change or whatever you wanna call it today because climate change it seems to be changing. It was so bad. You know and that planet that we live on literally was on the brink of catastrophe. You've told us this continuously for years and years and years. I would think the you who really believes it would do anything to get the job done I mean I gotta do everything! Pass-up a cheeseburger? No I don't think I can do that. You gotta be kidding. If you want me to buy into this hoax, I'm sorry, this theory. And give up meat. wow, it seems like a small price to place pay -- -- -- save the entire planet. America just like everything else we talked about on this program today it is isn't about saving any thing. It's about redistribution of wealth wealth. There a story in the New York Times today about the tens or hundreds of millions of dollars nobody really knows for sure only his -- accountant for sure. Only he knows how much Al Gore is making from this climate change hysteria. I have to tell you something. I'm in the most enthusiastic capitalist since Adam Smith. I have no problem with anybody making money. -- -- -- Gore can make money. I mean if I could sell sponsorships on this she chin right here, I would, it would just say Third chin, sponsored by Goodyear. I don't have a problem with that. I would do it. a money making scam cloaked in fully phony righteousness, lies and -- unquote solutions that are going to cost our entire economy. Really Not really cool. Al if your're concerned that the earth has a temperature. temperature, why not down the T bone then grab -- stock a broccoli in. broccoli. Get out gulf stream -- guy stream. Get out and of that gulfstream 550 on. Stop using twenty times the energy in New York home. Every single your -- home every American uses in an entire year. When I see you make those changes for climate change I might might. I might start to be concerned about the sea levels in the hurricanes that didn't happen this year or. For the crowded in or, or bears that in- dangered increased in population by a factor of five. Then maybe he'll start worrying about those things in the meantime I would just like to thanks Diane Sawyer for pointing out that he might might. I came to believe I'm saying this as these words are coming out of my mouth but joining me next as the president of -- And we actually agree. Who'd -- thunk it."
