Scalise questions former VP Al Gore about a "cap and trade" energy tax

[SprayOClockNews]

Scalise for prez!!! a friend of humanity!!! i wish he would put his attention to CHEMTRAILS! please see KillerSpray=com c'mon bro SHUT 'EM DOWN!!!

[4dOp]

Peep his face at 1:13. He is SO ashamed of himself.

[Reyajh]

@4dOp You would think so as you or I probably would be ashamed. But, in fact I think that he is just quickly realizing that he is before someone who will not hesitate to expose their schemes... He just hasn't yet realized how much so, it just hasn't quite hit home... as @ 4:52. lol.

[4dOp]

@Reyajh "duh ah ah I donno!" I love this Scalise dude. Straight shittin' on em.

[BBCater]

The foundations for Gore's "policy" were laid by the likes of Ken Lay and Enron. As much as he tries to spin the facts, that is the truth. His embarrassing "guilt by association" caveat is completely pathetic. So, we are to believe that, even though CRIMINALS devised this scheme, it's still a good scheme, because now HE is in charge of it? Could anything, or anyone be so patently stupid as to believe the SAME lies so many times?

Al Gore is a CROOK, and he's ALWAYS been a crook.

[BBCater]

"And that's why I strongly urge that you incorporate language to give (GIVE) to the Chief Executive Officer of this country the authority to move in when HE believes that corrections have to be (truncated)..." The authority needs to go to the PRESIDENT, and NOT the Congress? This is SO completely telling. This is a move for central, authoritative government - at THEIR will - not the will of the electorate.

What can't some of you SEE it? The evidence is RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE.

[NPSurvival]

Tear that fucker apart Scalise!!!!

[Thisawareness]

Keep in mind Gore is tied in to profit off this GW charade According to Deborah Cory Barnes, author of The Money and Connections Behind Al Gores Carbon Crusade, Al Gore started Generation Investment Management (GIM) with co founder Hank Paulson He was the Treasury Secretary. He is also the former CEO of Goldman Sachs. (Didnt Goldman Sachs just get billions in Federal Reserve pledges, bailouts&Tarp?)

GW another Goldman Sachs scheme to fleece the taxpayers

[lafleurplumeria]

Guess who the biggest polluters of carbon are! You, me, and every other form of life that inhales oxygen and exhales carbon. Energy and climate legislation is a mechanism that will be used to levy a tax on everything we do. In fact, it will be an excuse to prevent population growth and even genocide. This legislation provides the foundation on which the Bilderbergs will accomplish their goal. See: The Fall of the Republic on UTube. Then draw your own conclusion. I hope I'm just paranoid!

[lafleurplumeria]

The reason we'll loose so many jobs to China and Asia is because they don't buy Gore's BS. Gore wants cap and trade implemented because of the billions of dollars that would be made from business that emit carbon. Gore also wants a freeze on all carbon production: a dramatic and overt step toward the creation of a mechanism to tax individuals for the amount of carbon they exhale. Al Gore is a Bilderberg! He travels in corporate jets and drives gas guzzling suv's. Do you think he really care?

[MrDogg1984]

I almost puked upon seeing Gore's ugly mug right off the bat!!! There should be warnings about that sorts of stuff!! LOL!!!

[Thisawareness]

Al Gore Carbon Credit Lord

According to Deborah Cory Barnes, author of The Money and Connections Behind Al Gores Carbon Crusade, Al Gore started Generation Investment Management (GIM) with co founder Hank Paulson. Remember him? Yes, he was the Treasury Secretary. Guess what? Yes, he is also the former CEO of Goldman Sachs. (Didnt Goldman Sachs just get billions in Federal Reserve pledges, bailouts, and or Tarp?)

Another scam to fleece working & middleclass people out of more of their money

[sorenkierkegaard2008]

Man, even if you're a democrat- if you have any love of reason and common sense- you have to admit Scalise has a point here.

[TheEbonicslover]

Steve nailed him but so what... scumbags will still run our lives.

[jonohx]

@TheEbonicslover

You're right. Sceptics are winning the arguments, but so far the socialist tax machine just rumbles forward crushing anyone who gets in the way.

[TheEbonicslover]

@jonohx and that's what they want. They know it will cause confrontation at least among these who still have spines and honor left in them. The problem is this nation besides being retarded doesn't know how to organize and successfully fight off the parasites soon to swarm our communities.

[bttalbot]

What global scientific community?

[haarpcloud911]

Don't forget David de Rothschild who has pretty much become the poster child with his Plastiki Voyage. This is another Rothschild plan to take even more of our money! It's not enough that they print money out of paper and ink(thin air) and then lend it to governments world wide at a high interest rate. These scientists are making money hand over fist with huge grants!

They have so much money invested in this HOAX that it will NOT be easy to stop it, even though we all know it's a load of SHIT!

[AriesLudzik]

Global warming is such a HUGE, GARGANTUAN LIE !

[AnotherAlexChannel]

AL WHORE

[MrDogg1984]

Al "money" Whore. LOL!!

[MemorableQuote]

I was waiting for Gore to answer one of those questions buy saying "Do you want to be the one to tell Santa Claus that his workshop will be surrounded by lava and fire in 30 years?"

[kixdirtsevin]

1:11 the look on Gores face is priceless , you can almost see an O FUCK from him ...

[wearechangeraleigh]

Can I get a HELL YA?!! Go Scalise!

[Grouch82]

thanks RepSteveScalise

[Graham6762]

Al gore is a huge con artist

[tommytimezzz69]

Gore... what a joke... I really believed this guy... I saw his movie... I really thought it was for real... then I researched the subject...

Why did I ever trust this pompous corporate sellout? I was for Nader in the election so I wasn't that stupid... but damn.

[KARStarla]

have you guys watched "Scalise cap and trade" yet? OMG!! I found two other videos proving these are UN laws that they want to herd through congress to get homeowners OUT of their homes, this shit is intentional. Check out these other TWO videos as well.... "Agenda 21....you are dead" listen at 7:30 closely THEN listen to (if you dont know what it is already) "Agenda 21 for dummies" and freaking LOOK! THey want to cut the U.S land usage 50% and get folks into sardine palaces freeing up all land

[Traveler2112]

When Gore will not even attend the hearings when the opposing scientist were debating his side of the story that just shows how petty and arrogant he is. If he truly believed the rhetoric that he has been spouting he would have attended. He has an agenda.

[KARStarla]

excellent point!

[pheynixll]

Go Scalise!! Get that crook Gore!

[bruceok]

Al Gore admits talking with Ken Lay, CEO of Enron, the "king of energy scams" -- Al Gore was not smart enough to do this on his own....this is a smoking gun. It is interesting that the media has not picked up on this.

[eagles08052]

The media has picked up on this, but as we all know they report on what they want to report.

[MrDogg1984]

they report what the are told

[KARStarla]

Marcy kaptur should see this, I bet she didnt voting the way she did, its unlike her because I know shes trying, I dont have an e-mail account from this puter if someone comes across this can they shoot this over to her office?

[Sameazel]

Thank you Mr. Scalise for your standing aganst these crooks who have all there needs met before the working class of this country.Public servants who put themselves first,Really I am disgusted with all the lies and runaround big government and the time for the truth is now.

Mr. Gore what are you doing riding around in lemozines with your fancy suits and shoes and fake smiles while I'am out here busting my back to make ends meet and the price is insane.?My light bill is 600 a month now ?

[backrubs62]

the only thing that will come of this is al gore's bank account getting bigger. he is the one that is pulling off this hoax.  he wont even talk to or debate anyone who disagrees with him

[KARStarla]

SCALISE! Americas watching! And we appreciate those like YOU who question the BS they are selling us

Just like the stimulous, this bill will be to the detriment of the people and it wont do crap for the enviroment

[KARStarla]

Scalise has been ontop of this cap and trade for sometime, I at least have respect for his questions.

I like Scalise, lol Al Gore throws in folks beliefs about the moon landing and all the rest of the BS.

30,000 scientists disagree with Al Gore, his pockets are the only thing that will be greener

[Probesoul]

best liars money can buy...they got lying down to a science....old fart bastards

[HOOKJ002]

Al Gore is a scary person. He also lies to make profit.

[Slate1232]

Love how gore tried to morph the question into the science of global warming when it was a direct challenge to the economic impact of such an absurd bill.

[Reyajh]

Yes some of these responses just show you how naive these people are. In video game terminology we would call it the "willing suspension of disbelief." I guess they will refuse to see that the items will still be manufactured (Now Overseas with worse pollution controls) and then shipped back to the US here costing even more CO2 emissions for the fuel. lol Have you ever seen the filth that comes out of a cargo ship or tanker, at sea. Black as the darkest depths of space. Fools.

[mileycyruslover102]

I LOVE Dr. Pepper! Way to go Mr. Scalise. Mr. Gore look very inconvenient! If anybody is lying about this cutsey issue, it is Mr. Gore and the scientists he has found that believe in this nonsense! Does anyone else remember when we could not use hairspray in the 80's because of the hole in the ozone layer? Every decade has it's "issues" Could people just realize that the earth goes in cycles. Have you ever had your ice melt in your glass of tea? Did your glass overflow? Of course not!!

[bittergunowner12]

Of course I'm sure Al Gore tried to spread ManBearPig awareness while testifying before Congress.

[Reveries1]

Al Gore is the walking illustration of the fat porky pig of the current crop of politicians.

[tommyfistfight]

Thank you congressman for asking the questions the MSM is too afraid to ask.

[Reyajh]

Just listen to Warner's language..

..."I strongly urge that you incorporate language to give to the Chief executive officer of this country.., (Me: 'The President'...Dur) ...the authority to move in when he believes that corrections have to be..." WTH is all of that? more and more we hear these people using words like Czar and this. It should be clear these people are trying to consolidate power more and more all the time in this country!!! And to what purpose!

[bernhard12345]

Al Gore looks like a monster.

[troy1selah]

Wow, I'm surprised there's people who still believe Al Gore! What a clown. If he's so concerned about global warming, he should give up meat (did you look at his cheeks?) that alone can reduce his carbon print by a lot!

[Reyajh]

I don't think he was prepared for the "poetic" comeback wit, nor the two bombshells dropped on him by the freshman Congresman. If we move foreward the way these people want, we'll all have to be utilizing techniques like the one I did in my last post in ALL of our comings and goings. Gore's electric bill's over $30k pr mnth. He could proly aford his own flight to the moon &house to boot. He'd proly get a better signal from his internet there 2. I wish he would &take a few friends along with him.

[givethemahand]

Reyajh- "Gore's electric bill's over $30k pr mnth."

It was 30k a YEAR ( not good by any standard)

But, for Godsakes man...don't make things up.

[SPAZZUNAKI]

When Al gore moves out of his mansion and quits driving SUV's then maybe , just maybe, I will take him more seriously ( actually not at all). What's taxes going to do ? Line the pockets of Al gore's buddies and not towards solving the problem of course.

[jeezychreezy1]

Read the bill. It tells you were it goes. It actually goes to solving the problem. And the money he receives(from everything movie etc.) goes to a non-profit Alliance for Climate Protection. He does not drive SUVs. And his houses are Green Certified. Where would you like the money to go? His "buddies" are the ones who are trying to change this problem. You want the money to go to someone who does not believe the science. I don't know who told you this stuff.

[gensu3k1]

So Al Gore should live in a dark shed and ride around on bicycles?

We need massive change on a global scale to solve these problems. Everything we do contributes to global warming, because the infrastructure is based around burning oil. Until THAT changes, it's impossible to live any kind of comfortable life without leaving a considerable carbon footprint.

To focus on him driving a car or lighting his house is silly.

[Remedy181]

lmfao did you even watch this video you fucking piece of shit little bitch dick

[billjames007]

gensu3k1: Even if you are correct, and I believe you are not, the problem with Mr. Gore's plan is that two of the largest sources of carbon, China and India, have not signed on to Mr. Gore's plan. So you want every U.S. taxpayer to foot the bill for this fiasco and we will still have carbon pollution on a global scale.

[givethemahand]

Let's say you are going to Vegas. You step up to a roulette table and its set up a little different. You can make a little on all the red and black...but, if you land on the 2 greens at the top of the wheel (long odds) the casino gets to kill your grandchildren. Dumb game right? Would you play that game?

Gambling on global warming is a similar game. That is to say...even if odds are long that global warming will lead to hell-on-earth for you kids...what sane person would take the chance?

[Reyajh]

Let's say someone was stupid enough to play your little game...

Odds are good your wrong, but maybe your right.., just, just maybe (For the sake of the kids). Now then we should all panic and start running for the doors because the roof is on fire and the sky is falling. This way people are sure to die. Be assured they will not dismantle the worlds largest economy easily, nor without devastating results, I'm talking globally.., for certain.

[givethemahand]

I know of no one that is suggesting that we panic.

or proposing to dismantle the economy.

Those that use this argument are either letting their politics get the better of them...or they simply do not understand proposals to convert to a green economy and fear what they do not understand ( thats OK..its quite natural to fear change)

"dismantling the economy" and "devastating" are words often used by those that are fearful... or those that wish to instill fear for partisan gain.

[lfmv40]

Come on everybody!!! Did you forget how easily Al Gore gave up the Presdency in2004? He is part of a mass cover up that envolves many people around the Globe. There are plenty of experts that have stated that the warming of the earth is a narural reoccurance that happens every so many tousands of years. They want to sell us the notion that the world is coming to an end unless we do something about it. This is another way to enslave the American Tax payers with more and more taxes.

[relthfor]

Rep. Scalise,

This line of questioning is embarassing to you and a disservice to your constituents and the American People. Instead of lobbing senseless allegations and disputing scientific facts that are almost universally accepted, can you actually be a part of the solution when it comes to our environmental challenges?

[LayZ23]

Congressman Scalise is awesome and I'm happy to have him as my congressman. He skewered ol Al "The Earth has a Fever" Gore.

[1776UncleSam2oo8]

"were complaining about the rapid cooling the earth is undergoing affecting food production etc, and the need to blacken and hasten the melting of the polar ice caps."

Only repigs and whining children who are still angry about losing on Nov 4 2008 are this stupid. They think science makes no advances over decades. They think scientists don't improve their techniques or learn new information, nor do they think the rapid advances in computers help either.

What a bunch of morons the repigs are.

[Cjkaty]

Google "The Cooling World" Newsweek

April 28, 1975. Global Scientists were complaining about the rapid cooling the earth is undergoing affecting food production etc, and the need to blacken and hasten the melting of the polar ice caps. Al Gore is liberal artist whose only goal is self edification!

[andrewrckt]

The fact that Al Gore constantly says...I believe that Global Warming is an issue purely means that it is not scientific related more toward a religion started by the eco-nazis... Fact is fact....beliefs are intangible ideologies created by people who can not explain what is truly going on...

[justasteen]

Al Gore is a big idiot, Thank God he didn't become President.

[keithOlbermannMSNBC]

If your so sure, then stop breathing and farting cause your contributing to this fantasy problem you believe in. Pssst ... its going to be a lot more than a few hundred bucks.

[keithOlbermannMSNBC]

Al Gore is even more clueless that me. He's worked on developing a scam like "global warming" errrr I mean "climate change" his entire life.

Gore can't tell the difference between science and donkey shit. But he can whin and lament the end of the word caused by CO2 emissions. The only way he could be more intellectually limited is if someone removed his tiny brain!!!!

[axisapex]

AL gore is such a fool , he wants a cap a trade system because he stands to make a some money.

i cant stand his voice and his attitude of correction . But i liked how he handled the Enron ,ken lay questions ,lol LOSER

[AnalMart]

Notice how Al Gore never bothers to address "minor" issues like job losses and cost to consumers. By my calculations it is $2109 per person per year (assuming the cost is evenly distributed).

[hbkkid2000]

are u all serious ? u all think there is no global warming...............This is crazy

[xproudratx]

Hey kid, old commies never die, they just join the environmental movement . This way they can justify their Draconian laws in the name of protecting the citiznery.The case can always be made that your actions adversly affect others, God help us if they get hold of the health care system,we'll have cap and trade on budwieser and burger king to pay for thier impact on the nations health.

[hbkkid2000]

what health care system.........u do not have a health care system...................more tha half of america is afraid of getting sick as they can't afford healtyh care......................

[andrewrckt]

this is a GW thread...not health care. The issue at hand is if GW is anthropogenic. I think it is not. To me there is more conclusive evidence built on fact (unlike Al Gore's belief) to say that it is a more natural occurrence. If you dont believe this google some more. I have taken classes on climatology since I am a meteorology major. Me and my professors have view on these idiotic politicians and their views. SCIENCE WILL NEVER GET DONE WHILE POLITICS ARE STILL INVOLVED LIKE THE IPCC..

[andrewrckt]

there is...nobody i questioning a climatic change..the only question is if it is anthropogenic or not....hbkkid2000 research a little more...

[hbkkid2000]

alright lets assume no one can prove their case .......we can't prove that its man made and u can't prove its natural...............now don't u think its better to assume the worse case scenario and prepare for it.................its going to benefit us only ..............green cars ....cap on emissions...whats wrong with these things

[andrewrckt]

What exactly are you going to do? green cars? caps on emission? will only cost people more money than necessary. CO2 remember is not the most potent green house gas or abundant gas. How can you solve a problem without knowing the equation? It is impossible. Whats wrong with this? Well it is unnecessary expenses out of the pockets of hard working people to solve a "fictitious problem". If you want to save the environment...fine...but leave me out because these are not my views.

[imstillworkin]

Thank you Congressman Scalise! You are doing an outstanding job!

[WeedMIC]

gore never answers anything :(

[utubefavorsdems]

Steve had Al stuttering! lol

[Kiro123123123]

i agree. gore is disgusting.

[L8nitedave]

It amazes me that people are actually proud to embrace ignorance over obvious reality.

[Armigerous]

This is a real hoot.,..anAL GOREtentive calls this a 'moral issue' while he continues to burn jet fuel,electricity and gasoline like a mideastern potentate....no tax EVER 'liberated' ANYTHING...much less the market....and the government can't generate lasting 'green jobs' either....why is it that all the scientifically illiterate doofuses (doofi?) never can seem to tell us just exactly what these 'green jobs' are going to be?...anAL GOREtentive can't either....because they don't exist !!

[natem20]

Al Gore is a legend. If it does tax you then it creates jobs for you, fastens energy independence and turns things to counter "global warming." And if you deny it then apologize to your kids for not being open minded and having those conservative values.

[natem20]

"Kids if you see your parents with out values, then your job is to tell them." Reagan

[natem20]

right now the negative comments on here are directing to individual and how they're being taxed, but you know what America is about thinking about everybody. If we want to truly liberate the market we need to accept the tax and solve the problems of energy independence, job growth in green industry(will embellish the whole market, and yes even if you deny it global warming.

[sybilll]

You, my friend, are a certified moron. Please show me ANY country that has successfully employed wind and solar, that OFFSETS the taxes imposed. ANY. Show me. This regressive tax will tax the working poor into oblivion. But, I know your ilk are happy to see even more able-bodied people be on the dole. I guess you need countless others to share Government Cheese recipes.

[natem20]

This is about imposing a market that is already on tap to come, the green new energy economy. This is about imposing our innovation on to the world. The cap and trade may tax and the ones hurting may be hurt but incentive to start clean energy companies will be beneficial. The working poor would be able to run and join small enteprises. And sir if that government cheese recipe sounds good for what's right and what's already on tap let me know...

[natem20]

because that cheese eventually could be to build the manufacturing bases that were shipped out during the Bush era. The yankee clipper comes back like that.

[natem20]

This is exactly how bush wanted it. A global enhanced community with our values. If we have to jumpstart job growth but hurt a bit don't think twice. There's nothing wrong with this economy, just a period of adjustments.

[sybilll]

Now you are certifiable. Please, FFS, tell me where working poor can *run and join small enterprises*, Where are those enterprises? Does Obama link to them, as he taxes us out of our home? You moron, working poor means making enough to keep their dignity, and pay bills, but, make *too much* for gov't assistance. Get out of your mom's basement, and you will learn.

[SPAZZUNAKI]

Al Gore is a legendary FRAUD. End of story.

[corsair1234567890]

The real corruption and greed is among those trying to legislate taxes and create demand for products and services that fill their pockets. That's all that's happening.

If I start a Ponzi Scheme i go to jail, if the government does it it's called Social Security.

The green agenda is no different. It is THEY who are the corrupt corporate swindlers trying to make a buck by ramming it down peoples throats. Think of how much GE made off CFLs, and in the end, what did it really accomplish?

[sgtschultze]

At one time, consensus science held that the Earth was the center of the Universe. At one time, consensus science was sure the Earth was flat. Science is never advanced by consensus, it is advanced by outliers and those who challenge consensus. But what we have today isn't consensus among scientists, it's consensus among politicians who want to control their idiots.

Unfortunately, there are very many willing idiots who fall quickly for pretty charts and outlandish, scary predictions.

[thebrush03]

Al Gore refuses to debate someone with an alternate view.

He's lying, he knows it.

Take away his Nobel prize AND the prize money.

[gcpsvino]

Amazing he wont debate anyone on the subject. And his nobel prize is realy disgusting. He beat out a 94 yr old women from germany that helped save 2500 hundred jewish children during ww2.Now somebody explain that to me?

[antceecee]

Al Gore - Global Warming Hoax - P.T. Barnum would be proud!

[hoosierhawk]

Global Warming - The "Hottest Hoax Ever!"

[gcpsvino]

Al gore is a joke. How much money is he gonna try to soak out of the tax payers next. Its all about how much money they can raise taxes like they care about global warming. So you tax the hell out of us and business here in the U.S while the rest of the world keeps polluting. I dont no why they people like Gore and there ilk hate our country so much. Theve all made millions of dollars from our so called evil country. Do us all a favor please just leave us alone.

[antceecee]

Al Gore and his team are looking forward to fleecing the American people with his globull warming scam. Payback for a lost election IMHO.
