Steve (00:02.711)
So we are on the fourth episode of climate change and on this one we are gonna close it out. Back with Dave and Dan Gregory who's been a guest now for four episodes. We appreciate that. We left off, he's like a lot of things. I was gonna say chlamydia, but yeah. It's herpes, it's herpes simplex too. Dan's here, he's here, treat him. It's here.
Dan Gregory (00:14.716)
Yeah, thanks for having me.
Dave (00:15.278)
He's like a bad penny.
Dan Gregory (00:18.204)
Kick it.
Dave (00:21.326)
Ha ha ha ha!
Dan Gregory (00:22.492)
live here now.
Dan Gregory (00:27.036)
You're welcome.
Dave (00:29.358)
It's here. Zavirix. Nice. That's great.
Dan Gregory (00:30.844)
tree.
Steve (00:31.511)
It's treated. You gotta treat it. So we were showing the fact that the Greenpeace co -founder is calling it a farce. We came by and said 1 ,600 scientists and two Nobel Prize winners have signed up on a document saying it's a farce. We've shown the need and maybe detailed how government lies in the biggest of the big ways and perhaps where some of the money grab is. I have a couple more clips I want to play for you. Shelley Capito.
is a senator out of West Virginia and she's interesting. I've been watching her a little bit lately and she did a recent press conference on the fall of the money side of, in this case, climate change. One of her staffers fall the money. Let me play this clip for you and let's see what you have to think about that.
go. I'll go back to here.
Steve (01:26.583)
I can hear that background. Whatever somebody's doing, I'll pick it up. Noise there. That's okay. I can pick it up. Dan, your microphone is really sensitive. Just so you know, when you sniff, I can hear it. It doesn't get much attention. Here she comes. Well, I wanted to bring to everybody's attention something that doesn't get much attention. And you've heard the term, follow the money. So I looked up where to follow the money. I thought it was from a Tom Cruise movie, but it wasn't. It was from Watergate.
Dan Gregory (01:30.044)
Sorry.
Dave (01:55.438)
show me the money.
Steve (01:55.991)
And all the money is what they did in Watergate and we saw what happened. So my young staffer who's very bright and I see him over there, Adam Pack, followed the money. And the money is from the so -called Inflation Reduction Act. So in the name of green and environmental justice, there's over $40 billion that are going to be granted out through the EPA. So.
With this great research that was done, what was discovered that in December, the EPA granted $50 million to an organization called Climate Justice Alliance. So we went to the website of Climate Justice Alliance. This is what we found on the website. That our taxpayer dollars are going to organizations such as this.
This at the bottom is a picture of a bulldozer that went through the fence when Hamas attacked Israel on October the 7th. They have a rendering on their website that says decolonize Palestine and it has a picture of that same bulldozer going through that fence. If you dig deeper, they want to defund the police, defund the military, either them or their affiliates.
Dave (03:13.454)
Wow.
Steve (03:22.903)
want to have very radical, drastic initiatives that I think are anti -American. And they're certainly anti -Israel and anti -Semitic. So the Biden administration doesn't seem to care. $50 million in December. Who knows how much more in the future and other like groups, because there are other associated groups with this group. There's no inspector general for EPA to follow the money, because they don't care.
Dave (03:30.894)
part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Dan Gregory (03:34.748)
That's what she said.
Dave (03:37.646)
Look at the front page of the, look at the graphic right now of the climate. Justice lands, this is on the front of it.
Steve (03:52.759)
care, because all they care about is the mission, the climate mission, no matter what the radical ideas that are associated with the groups. So then you could ask yourself, is this group really going to be funding cleaning up the water and cleaning up the soil and cleaning up the air? Or are they going to be funding things like the protests they had in Hart just several weeks ago where several of them were arrested? So follow the money.
We're going to be doing that in the Environment and Public Works Committee. That's where the derivation of this was. And I find it rather startling to me that the EPA is not doing, and the administration are not doing any better research as to where our American taxpayer dollars are going. So let me say, go to break for like three seconds, a quiet one.
Dave (04:42.542)
That's insanity.
Dan Gregory (04:43.868)
Wow.
Steve (04:51.319)
So there's a hard example of what happens to money given out in the name of climate change. $50 million going to a group. Remember, the names that come across are never the names of what they are. I say if they named it the Save America campaign, you can bet that it's a campaign designed to destroy America. So what do you...
Dave (05:10.382)
The Inflation Reduction Act. The Inflation Reduction Act. Wow. Wow, look, look at.
Dan Gregory (05:12.22)
Mm.
Steve (05:15.863)
Right. There's all kinds of funding from the Inflation Reduction Act that are going towards things like this. And they got a ton of it for the... Do you not remember the first six months Biden was in office? He wanted the the New Green Deal. AOC was pushing the New Green Deal. And they were liking it to FDR. And you knew if you studied it back then that everything they were doing was to allocate money in an unaudited way to groups that we could never find or trace.
Dan Gregory (05:18.716)
Wow.
Dave (05:30.926)
Green New Deal.
Dan Gregory (05:31.932)
Hmm.
Dan Gregory (05:43.388)
Hmm.
Steve (05:45.207)
that were going to create disruption in America. Now that is a black and white example right there. That's a black and white example that a low level staffer in a senator's office found and she created a press conference. Did her press conference make the cover of the New York Times? No. Did it make the Washington Post? No. Did it make CNN, MSNBC? No, no, no, no, no. Instead you have to go dig and find it. So people that are listening to the climate change episodes one, two, three, and four, and this one be the last one.
Dave (06:02.382)
No. Mm -hmm.
Dan Gregory (06:13.628)
Peace.
Steve (06:14.135)
When you think the lie can't be big enough, you don't understand the game. And that's the key to the whole listening to Twisted Times is we're telling you there's a giant lie going on. There's a giant lie. It's not coordinated. Don't think it's coordinated because they're not good enough to be coordinated. It's selfish. It's self -centered. A lot of it comes out of the United States leadership. A lot of it comes out of the Five Eyes partnerships. A lot of it comes out of the intelligence agencies. A lot of it comes out of Brussels.
And they're all in it for their own reason and they consolidate and they agree on some things, but by and large, there's a glow. There's multiple global cabals fighting for control and they take money in the biggest way they possibly can. So when I see a fucking neighbor with a Ukraine flag flying, that doesn't have a clue what the real, what the war in Ukraine looks like. And I dare anybody on local sites to come debate me for a quarter of a second on the reality of the war in the history of Russia itself, which.
Vladimir Putin did a good job of schooling Tucker Carlson on in an interview where Tucker Carlson showed his lack of manhood and the way he went after Vladimir Putin. They don't get it. They don't. They never they never get it. So on the so on the climate change piece, when we say when we're confronted by Gen Z, who say, God, I can't believe you're not your climate change denier. And I say, well, if you'll give me a chance to rebut that.
Dan Gregory (07:16.732)
Yeah.
Steve (07:40.535)
then we'll have a conversation. If not, your multiple pronoun pronouncing ass is leaving my house because you're not going to be here longer because I use two pronouns because there's only two genders. That's what I do. But if you want to listen to what might happen underneath that, there are those of us, as I said in episode one, two and three that love our nature. Our parks will do anything to help put plastic in the right place.
and other recyclables in the right place. And I think a high majority of Americans agree with that. But when you dig into climate change proposals coming out of DC, so when it leaves the state and it goes to the feds or it goes worse yet to international conglomerate, like those operating out of out of Geneva, not a chance in the world should you be for any of it. You should be. It's twisted beyond belief. You know, there's a couple more.
Dan Gregory (08:32.124)
It's twisted.
Dave (08:36.046)
It's like we're living in twisted times or something.
Dan Gregory (08:37.98)
Yeah.
Steve (08:38.679)
It's like twisted times. The good news is, and this is good news for people is we've got Pete Buttigieg, Pete Buttigieg, Pete Buttigieg, the, the Buttigieg, I call him Buttigieg. It's easier to remember Pete Buttigieg who recently moved to Traverse City where I still have a house. Pretty happy to have Pete in his latex belly wearing husband who, who during their joint pregnancy.
Dave (08:49.646)
Booty, booty check.
Dave (09:02.958)
You
Steve (09:07.543)
Did some kind of rubber nipple breastfeeding of the child Pete came out today and Pete said Pete said that that Climate change is racist. Okay Yes
Dave (09:17.198)
I can't take it.
Dan Gregory (09:20.86)
Climate change is racist. Beck, say that again.
Dave (09:21.486)
Wait, wait, wait, Clemes, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait
Steve (09:25.015)
climate. Pete. Well, listen, let's be honest here. Pete's a transportation secretary. All right. Pete couldn't protect a unicycle. Pete couldn't protect a unicycle in the fucking shrine circus. Yet, yet Pete's Pete's coming by and Pete's telling us that the reason that there's so many disruptions in airlines, it's not Boeing and quality control issues, Dave. It can't be Boeing in the fact that multiple whistleblowers are dying, turning in Boeing.
Dave (09:33.358)
Very important.
Dave (09:50.606)
Well, of course not.
Steve (09:54.647)
It's racist. It's your inherent racism that is creating turbulence. I'm sorry. Turbulence. Now turbulence. Turbulence is people that believe in turbulence as a religion. And it's real. I'm a Turbulist. So if you think I'm kidding, I'm booty jig. Listen to this clip. Listen to this clip.
Dave (10:00.718)
Tur - wait, what is Turbolism? I'm a Turbolist! I'm a Turbolist! I'm a Card Gang Turbolist!
Dan Gregory (10:03.964)
It's racist turbulence.
Dave (10:15.854)
Yeah, pimp, pimp.
Steve (10:20.727)
I'll put it in here. It's got to pop up, but I'm not kidding. Listen, this motherfucker right here. It's great, man. Listen to this. Climate change are already upon us in terms of our transportation. We see that in the form of everything from heat waves that shouldn't statistically even be possible, threatening to melt the cables of transit systems in the Pacific Northwest to hurricane seasons becoming more and more extreme and indications that turbulence is up by about 15%. The reality.
so, so, so wait a second. So wait a second. I didn't get it right. Hang on. I've mixed my racism stories up. booty jig booty jig is a Turbolist who is blaming turbulence on, on climate change, but it's, it's, it's Richard Levine. Yeah. You know, I'm better as Rachel Levine. The, you know, it's better as Dr. Rachel Levine. The.
Dave (10:53.358)
He's a Turbolist.
Dave (10:57.294)
He's a clear turbulence.
Dave (11:10.062)
Richard Levine.
Dan Gregory (11:12.028)
to vein.
Dave (11:14.606)
huh.
Steve (11:19.191)
The military leading transgender looks like looks like Sally. He looks like Sally Struthers ate her way through a dessert store and slapped on a mustache and became like leader of a military unit. Rachel Levine has called climate change racist. So let's dig in on let's let's dig in on Rachel Levine real quick. Right. That's right. Here's Rachel. Rachel Levine telling you.
Dave (11:21.998)
yes. Yes.
Dan Gregory (11:42.044)
You're a good software player.
Dave (11:44.334)
haha
Steve (11:47.479)
Climate change is racist. This thing, here it goes.
Steve (12:06.871)
black Americans are more likely than white Americans to live in areas and housing that increase their susceptibility to climate related health issues. And 65 % of black Americans report feeling anxious about climate changes impact. Through our Office of Climate Change and Health Equity and the Office of Environmental Justice, we're working with providers and community leaders to identify innovative approaches that empower communities to address the health consequences linked to. I can't listen to the rest of you.
Dave (12:09.006)
What?
Steve (12:36.825)
So, all right, so.
Dave (12:37.678)
I want to know what the Hodgson twins have to say about that. I'm not a huge fan of those guys, but I wonder what they have to say about that.
Steve (12:44.887)
Look, I'm going to cut that video. I'm going to cut that video. We're going to come back to the high sense. I'm going to cut that video right there. I'm going to put this piece in. Is my clapping? I can't listen to the rest of this shit. I can't look at that thing. I can't listen to that thing. Dave, did you just see what I saw?
Dave (12:53.71)
Yeah.
Dave (13:02.702)
I'm shocked. I'm wondering what the Hodgson twins have to say about that. I'm not a huge, I'm not an enormous fan of those guys, but did she really just say 65 % of African -Americans are freaked out about climate change and it's ruining their lives? That...
Steve (13:07.339)
Right.
Steve (13:15.543)
That's right. Yes.
Dan Gregory (13:16.444)
Yep. I'd love to see the logic. Show me the math. Show me the math. How does that resolve?
Dave (13:22.638)
What in God's green earth?
Steve (13:22.999)
Meanwhile, meanwhile, right, there's a ton of videos out there where Anthony Fauci goes to like black homes to try to get them to vaccinate more for COVID. And they just beat his giant Elferty Newman ear lovin ass to the curb, man. They, they, I mean, you know, Fauci just gets clipped constantly. But the brothers, the inner city brothers are some of the street smartest people on the planet, man.
Dave (13:34.794)
out yeah he got beat with a slipper
Dave (13:45.39)
Though they're not having it. They're not. Yep. Yep. They're savvy, savvy, savvy, savvy. And after Tuskegee, after the Tuskegee incident, they're not getting backs for nothing.
Steve (13:53.175)
Right. They're not getting vaxxed for nothing. They don't trust you on nothing. And guess what? Rightfully so across the board. So for...
Dave (13:58.83)
Rightfully so, yeah. They got, by Democratic politicians, by the way.
Steve (14:04.823)
So for Dr. Richard Rachel Sally Struthers -Lavine to say that it's racist. You think you when you think you've seen it all, you've seen it all. So yeah.
Dave (14:17.678)
Hey, Steve, I want to, I want to, I want to be free. Go on with that. I want to go back to, I want to, I want to just challenge everybody. I, I had, I think I'd seen climate justice Alliance before I'd like to challenge everybody that everybody that listens to this podcast, go back and look at the climate justice Alliance website. Please dig into that. Look at, look at any thinking person, right, left, conservative liberal, look at that website and tell me, tell me that you're, we're talking about.
Dan Gregory (14:18.556)
It's too much.
Dave (14:46.862)
the Inflation Reduction Act that's supposedly supposed to help turn the US economy around because our inflation is out of control. We're talking about climate change tonight. Everything boils down to money. Everything boils down to money. Go back and look at this Climate Justice Alliance website. This is everything that is wrong with this argument of climate change. Look at the...
Dan Gregory (14:57.788)
Yeah, look, we're getting pulled into.
Dan Gregory (15:09.052)
Mm -hmm.
Dave (15:13.966)
Extract, so this is an organization that is actively trying to break the extractive, what is this, the extractive, sorry, the extractive economy, what is this stuff called? We envision a world, there's fairness, equity, and ecological rootedness are core values. They're trying to get rid of the extractive economy. What is an extractive economy?
Steve (15:37.943)
I don't know what extractive economy is, but I know what they're doing. So it again, again, there's good happening at the bottom levels of climate change at the grassroots level. There always is the very, very top. It's completely and utterly fucked up and evil. And that's the moral of the story. And what they want, what, what, what disparate groups want is global control. Don't think for a second that, that, that central banking digital currency isn't a part of this exact same story. Cause it is.
Dan Gregory (15:39.004)
Dunno.
Dave (15:46.478)
Yes.
Steve (16:07.575)
If they get, if you right now, not so much in the United States with our airlines yet, but I fly a lot of international airlines. And so if you go on Swiss air right now and you go try to book a ticket on Swiss air, you will see there is a, a,
Dave (16:24.654)
Carbon neutral.
Steve (16:24.855)
CO carbon neutral and it's not some airlines in the US but you can really build different credits by flying a certain way a more green flight that's on a more productive airline or more productive route so they're trying to build in social credit scores there and those social credit scores will let you fly in the future or won't let you fly in the future and if your social credit score or climate change score isn't where it needs to be your money won't be able to be spent on things you need it to be spent on.
Don't think for a second they're not related. It's the same bad people at the top trying to coordinate all the groups. So when the stuff, if you learn nothing from this climate change series, go back and look in the mirror and ask yourself if they told the truth about COVID. And if you think they told the truth about COVID as healthy athletes are dropping dead all over the world right now, then you're a fucking idiot. And we don't want you to listen to this show anymore because we can't save you.
Dave (17:16.814)
Go back and read it again. Go back and look at it again.
Steve (17:24.279)
But for everybody else that listens to this show and sees healthy athletes dropping dead and goes back and watches one compilation video of all the things Anthony Fauci said of Joe, what Joe Biden said of what Deborah Burke said of whatever all of them said, scaring you into submission. And then look at all the celebrities that said things like the anti -vax, the anti -vaccinated groups.
should be banned from hospital care, should be banned from travel, should not be able to buy food. Jimmy Kimmel is in that group. Howard Stern is most definitely in that group. And you can go on and on and on. That's right. And so if you don't, don't forgive them for a second. Never forgive them. It's the same group now loudly telling you, if you don't believe in the universal climate change story, you're an idiot and you should be with the anti, you're probably are an anti -vaxxer.
Dave (18:04.654)
Waste of space.
Steve (18:20.887)
and you should be with them the way we treat you as a society. Just don't let them do what they're going to do.
Dave (18:24.046)
Steve, Steve, my challenge to people would be if you're concerned about climate change, act locally. Don't drink microplastics. Be responsible about what you're doing with your plastics. Recycle, do all those things. Pick up trash when you see it in the forest. Go visit your national parks. Go visit your national parks. Go backpacking, spend time outside, but don't be controlled by...
Dan Gregory (18:35.932)
Good luck with that one.
Dan Gregory (18:39.932)
Yeah. Yeah. Mm -hmm. Yeah. Leave no trace. Leave no trace.
Steve (18:48.279)
Like, that's right.
Dave (18:52.174)
by these special interest groups that are really trying to blow you up.
Steve (18:56.663)
At a minimum, at a minimum, don't get in the way of us that are trying to dismantle this climate change narrative because I'm going to go down fighting. You know me guys, I just don't care. And so for me, I'm going down fighting. I'm not going to let them try to get us into a social credit score for the type of airline I buy. Why Mark Zuckerberg has a brand new.
$300 million 287 foot long mega yacht with four enormous diesel engines, but he's the guy leading the contributions on the climate change side. I mean, how stupid do we have to be? I mean, how?
Dave (19:24.562)
He really cares about the climate.
Dan Gregory (19:27.676)
Yeah.
Dave (19:32.366)
Ridiculous.
Dan Gregory (19:34.076)
He literally had a bridge disassembled so he could get it out of the bay where it was made. I mean... Yeah.
Steve (19:38.167)
Yeah, how stupid do we have to be? So I'm not going to do it. But to Dave's point, hey, if you're not going to put up, you're not going to fight this fight.
And you're not going to go somewhere that's going to not mandate vaccinations. Switzerland, by the way, no man, you can't have you can't have mandated vaccinations in Switzerland. It's against the actual constitution. You can never do it. So if you can't go somewhere where they're not going to mandate stuff and you are going to just simply put up with it, the best way you can make a difference almost universally is to act locally. And if you can act locally and you can and you can find a better way to make your local river healthier. Look at our
Dan Gregory (20:08.764)
Mm -hmm.
Dave (20:09.198)
That's right.
Steve (20:16.05)
Look at what RFK Jr. has done for rivers across the United States. He's all about...
Dave (20:18.83)
Total cleanup. Yep. Biggest single person's impact on ecology, I believe, I believe in current history, modern times.
Steve (20:25.335)
That's right.
And showing people how to clean up locally is a big, big deal. And it's funny, Dave, you said, hey, don't drink microplastics, and Dan said, good luck. Under his breath, it's very hard right now. It's very, very hard.
Dan Gregory (20:39.164)
Yeah, it's almost impossible. I know this. I was involved in a small project called, if you go to adventurescientists .org, and for people who love to put a backpack and a loaf of bread and a sandwich and hop over the back fence like John Muir said, like we do and get lost, adventure scientists will say, hey, are you going to go hiking at Isle Royale, for example? This just happened a few years ago, Steve. They send you a kit of Isles. You dunk it into the water. They show you with a video. They train you how to do it.
Dave (20:41.07)
Really it is. But.
Dan Gregory (21:07.932)
and you send back your samples. And they were doing this all over the world with people who travel abroad and they had microplastic research and then they're doing bird and butterfly research and replanting. They'll send you a bunch of saplings. You can plant them along the trails, but it's called adventure scientist .org. And it's really cool. Like you guys are saying act locally, think globally, but be responsible. I think it's another good way to give back.
Steve (21:29.463)
That's the moral of the whole story here in climate change is that it's a real thing. It's a real thing to be environmentally conscious and sound. Climate change itself with this big overarching umbrella is bullshit. So act locally, clean the world up, clean the earth up from these pigs that contaminate it. And the pigs that contaminate it quite often are the people preaching climate change at the very, very top.
Dave (21:32.526)
Yep.
Dave (21:36.078)
Yep.
Dan Gregory (21:53.564)
Mm -hmm.
Steve (21:58.647)
They're the ones pushing it down. They don't care what's happening in those mines in Africa. They don't care. They don't care. They don't care that there's no disposal of the items are mandating for you because they're creating. They're in a business creating $4 billion a day, $4 trillion a year, and they're just getting going. They're just getting going. $50 million being given to that group that get outed by the senator doesn't make doesn't make a single newspaper in the country. So so I mean, that's it, guys. It's four episodes into climate change.
Dan Gregory (21:58.844)
Mm -hmm.
Dan Gregory (22:23.548)
That's crazy.
Steve (22:27.671)
And I wanna close climate change out and just say, it'll keep coming up in conversations ahead, Dave, as we bring in true environmentalists that are making a difference. I think there's two types of guests that can come on Twisted Times in the future. There's one that wants to give us the local impact story where we can make a difference and help them tell the story. We want that person on every single day. And then the politician that wants to tell us about...
Dave (22:39.246)
right.
Steve (22:55.223)
the global drama around bigger funding. And we want him to just kick his ass up and down the episode and then spit it back out again. Because enough's enough.
Dave (23:03.694)
If you don't agree with us and you have the nuts to come on, come on the show, let's talk it out. But be prepared to defend what you have to say. Yeah.
Steve (23:08.663)
That's it.

Dan, thanks for being a guest on four episodes on the climate change side and on the side we haven't released on the show we haven't released yet, which is the comedian side. We wanted to do the climate change stuff first and then we'll release our favorite comedians, which started a big argument today during the afternoon. And I was telling people we had one show in the can. We'll release everyone's got their favorite comedians and I can't wait to release that one. So thank you so much for coming on. We look forward to having you on again someday soon.

We'll get some comments on that.

Thanks, man. Always great to hang out with you guys, and I'll be back anytime you want me. See you, bye -bye.
Dave (23:36.91)
Absolutely.
Cheers to you.

All right, everybody. Have a great night. Bye bye.
