DONALD TRUMP HAS APPROVED THE NECESSARY PERMITS FOR THE
KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE.
OF COURSES WAS A HUGE ISSUE FOR
ENVIRONMENTALISTS, AND IT WAS AN ISSUE THAT PRESIDENT BARACK
OBAMA DECIDED TO RULE AGAINST BACK IN 2015 WHEN HE SAID NO, NO
PERMIT FOR THE CONTINUED CONSTRUCTION OF THE PIPELINE --
THAT IS THE STATEMENT FROM DONALD TRUMP AS HE GRANTED THE
NECESSARY PERMITS.
ALSO KEEP IN MIND THOUGH THAT THE STATE OF
NEBRASKA WILL ALSO HAVE TO APPROVE PERMITS FOR THIS, AND
THERE ARE LANDOWNERS WHO ARE AGAINST IT.
SO WE WILL SEE WHAT
HAPPENS --
AND
TRUMP'S RESPONSE TO HIM WAS --
WHAT?
WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?
I WILL CALL NEBRASKA?
I
DIDN'T KNOW NEBRASKA HAD A PHONE NUMBER, NEBRASKA, CAN YOU HOOK
IT UP WITH THE PERMITS?
THERE ARE SOME AMAZING PARTS TO THE STORY, THAT IS POINT ONE,
WHICH IS DONALD TRUMP GOES OUT THERE, LIKE, OKAY, KEYSTONE
PIPELINE, DONE.
WE ARE FINISHED WITH IT.
AND THEN THE TRANS
CANADA CEO HAS TO SAY, NOT EXACTLY, WE STILL HAVE TO GET
CLEARANCE FROM NEBRASKA.
YOU SEE THE QUESTION MARK THERE?
NEBRASKA?
I'LL CALL NEBRASKA.
YOU DIDN'T PREPARE AT ALL.
NO
ONE TOLD YOU, YOU DIDN'T ASK -- CAN YOU IMAGINE YOU ARE
PRESIDENT, YOU ARE DOING A PRESS CONFERENCE IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE
WORLD, AND YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO ASK, ARE WE DONE?
AND YOU JUST
BLURTED OUT WE ARE DONE, IT WILL GET BUILT.
THEN THEY HAVE TO
CORRECT YOU LIKE YOU ARE A CHILD, WHICH YOU ARE.
HEY,
DONALD -- GAH!
WE DIDN'T GET PERMISSION FROM NEBRASKA, YOU IDIOT.
IT'S ONLY THE STATE DEPARTMENT APPROVING IT, THAT IS ALL THAT
HAPPENED.
WE DIDN'T GET THE PERMITS.
HOW DOES HE NOT KNOW
THAT?
HOW IS HE UNABLE TO ANSWER THAT QUESTION ABOUT WHAT WAS IN
THE HEALTHCARE BILL?
INTERESTING THING ABOUT THE STATE DEPARTMENT, THE STATE
DEPARTMENT DID APPROVE IT, BUT REMEMBER, UNDER OBAMA THE STATE
DEPARTMENT HAD PUT OUT A PRETTY LENGTHY REPORT ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE THAT THE PIPELINE COULD CAUSE HERE IN THE
U.S. SO WHAT DID THE STATE DEPARTMENT, THE CURRENT STATE
DEPARTMENT, DO?
THEY USED THE SAME REPORT, THE SAME WORDING,
FROM THE PREVIOUS STATE DEPARTMENT WITH OBVIOUSLY A
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT OUTCOME.
SO IT'S KIND OF LIKE UNDER THE
OBAMA ADMINISTRATION 2+2=4, UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
IT EQUALS 26.
THAT'S THE SECOND AMAZING PART OF THE STORY.
AGAIN IT GOES TO
LAZINESS AND CARELESSNESS BY TRUMP AND THE TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION.
BECAUSE THAT COULD LEAD TO TO LOSE IN COURT.
BECAUSE THEY WILL GET SUED ON IT, AND YOU HAVE TO SAY NO, WE
DID A NEW ANALYSIS AND IT SHOWS THAT IN FACT IT'S NOT GOING TO
CAUSE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS, YADA YADA.
IF YOU ARE SMART AND
DEVIOUS AND WANTED TO -- FORGET DEVIOUS, LET'S SAY YOU ARE A
RIGHT-WINGER, PIPELINES ARE AWESOME IN CRUDE OIL, LET'S MESS
UP THE OZONE, WE WILL ALL GET TAN, WHATEVER YOU BELIEVE, YOU
WOULDN'T DO IT THIS WAY, YOU WOULD BE SMART ENOUGH TO GO WE
DID A NEW ANALYSIS AND HERE'S THE RESULTS, IT SHOWS THAT IT'S
NOT WORTH IT.
BUT THEY ARE SO LAZY AND INCOMPETENT THAT HE IS
LIKE, WE ARE SET, WE ARE DONE, JUST TAKE THE OBAMA ANALYSIS,
DON'T CHANGE IT AT ALL, ADD SOME TRANS CANADA THINGS, NEBRASKA,
WHAT IS THAT?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT, WE ARE DONE.
NOW THE
ANALYSIS SHOWS WE ARE RIGHT, THEY ARE WRONG.
IF YOU ARE A
CONSERVATIVE YOU HAVE TO BE PISSED BECAUSE THIS MIGHT HAVE
COST YOU THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE ON A DAY YOU SHOULD BE
CELEBRATING.
HE DOESN'T CARE TO DO THE JOB, HE'S A CHILD.
HE IS
SO OVER HIS HEAD, HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THIS AND HE'S TOO
LAZY TO FIGURE IT OUT.
AND TOO INSECURE TO ASK IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
BUT TO CALL NEBRASKA -- THAT'S HIS WAY.
YOU CAN'T GET A TABLE
TONIGHT, MR.
TRUMP -- LET ME CALL THEM.
THAT IS A GOOD ANALOGY.
NEBRASKA IS NOT A MAŒTRE D'.
GIVE NEBRASKA A 20.
BUT THE THING, THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE,
COULDN'T HAPPEN UNLESS WE REPEALED THE BAN ON EXPORTING
OIL.
WE USED TO HAVE A BAN ON THIS COUNTRY IN EXPORTING OIL,
IT GOT LIFTED IN DECEMBER 2015, ISN'T THAT WHY WE ARE ABLE TO DO
THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?
IF WE JUST KEPT THAT -- AND DEMOCRATS
SIGNED ON, THAT WAS BARACK OBAMA -- ARE THOSE CONNECTED TOGETHER
BECAUSE THIS TECHNICALLY ISN'T THE UNITED STATES'S OIL, IT'S
COMING FROM CANADA?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT THIS WAS BASICALLY PUSHED BY
CONSERVATIVES, AS A
JOBS BILL, AND THEY'RE ONLY 35 JOBS.
LET'S GO TO THE GRAPHIC --
AGAIN, IT IS NOT ANYTHING THAT'S REALLY GOING TO HELP THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND I FIND IT INTERESTING BECAUSE AS DONALD
TRUMP IS APPLAUDING THIS AND CONGRATULATING HIMSELF, HE ALSO
SAID THE FOLLOWING --
NO, NO -- WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT NOW IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE
OF HOW GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
THIS IS NOT A
POPULAR PIPELINE, THAT'S THE REASON WHY LANDOWNERS IN
NEBRASKA DON'T WANT IT, ENVIRONMENTALISTS DON'T WANT IT,
PEOPLE DON'T WANT IT.
THIS IS ONE OF THE DIRTIEST TYPES OF
CRUDE, AND DOES THE MOST DAMAGE IN TERMS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.
PEOPLE DON'T WANT IT, THEY DON'T WANT IT.
SO YOU ARE BEING
INFLUENCED BY CORPORATE INTERESTS, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT
HAS FAILED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
BUT AGAIN I DON'T KNOW IF HE'S EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO
REALIZE THAT.
I HAVE TO JUMP IN WITH A NUMBER OF POINTS.
ONE IS THAT IN
THAT PRESS CONFERENCE THEY HAVE TRANS CANADA'S CEO TALKING ABOUT
HOW IT'S GREAT FOR AMERICA -- NO, DUDE, IT'S GREAT FOR YOU AND
YOU RUN TRANS CANADA, NOT TRANS AMERICA.
DON'T PRETEND YOU CARE
ABOUT AMERICAN JOBS, YOU AREN'T EVEN FROM THIS COUNTRY.
TECHNICALLY THE CEO, I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS FROM, YOUR
COMPANY IS NOT FROM AMERICA.
MY POINT IS THAT THEY ALWAYS
PRETEND AS THOUGH THESE COMPANIES ARE ALL-AMERICAN, LIKE
CORPORATE AMERICA -- THEY ARE NOT CORPORATE AMERICA, MOST OF
THEM ARE MULTINATIONAL, AND THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT AMERICAN JOBS.
IF YOU ARE SAYING OH, YOU GUYS ARE PROBABLY LYING, YOU LIBS --
THE NUMBERS ABOUT ONLY ADDING 35 -- I'LL GIVE THEM THE TEMPORARY
GUYS, 50 JOBS IN THE LONG-TERM -- THAT COMES FROM THE STATE
DEPARTMENT RUN BY REX TILLERSON, FORMER CEO OF EXXON MOBIL.
HE
APPROVED THE PIPELINE, I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING.
TILLERSON IS THE ONE SAYING IT'S ONLY 50 JOBS.
THOSE NUMBERS COULD DATE TO BEFORE HE WAS THERE, BUT --
THEN CHANGE THEM, IDIOT.
THE PIPELINE IS ESSENTIALLY BUILT, ALMOST JOBS THEY ARE
TALKING ABOUT, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WORKING ON IT, IS ALREADY
DONE.
EXCEPT FOR THE STRETCHES, IT'S BASICALLY A BUILD ENTITY SO
IT WON'T CREATE THAT MANY TEMPORARY JOBS.
FINALLY, ISN'T IT FUNNY HOW OUR POLITICS WORKS?
SO, WHEN
WE'RE BRINGING IN, TO JIMMY'S POINT, DANGEROUS OIL FROM
CANADA, IT EMITS 18% MORE GREENHOUSE GASES THAN REGULAR
TYPES OF OIL BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED -- LITERALLY CALLED
DIRTY OIL, AND CRUDE OIL THAT'S HARDER TO EXTRACT AND LESS
EFFICIENT AND DAMAGES THE OZONE MORE.
ALL OF THAT STUFF.
BUT
THAT'S OKAY, WE CAN BRING THAT IN.
BUT WHEN WE HAVE DRUGS,
WHICH ARE THE SAME EXACT DRUGS FROM CANADA, COMING IN, THEY GO,
THAT'S DANGEROUS!
BECAUSE THOSE DRUGS ARE CHEAPER, EVEN THOUGH
THEY ARE THE SAME EXACT DRUGS, THEY SAY THAT'S DANGEROUS, DON'T
TRUST THE CANADIANS.
DON'T EXPORT THEIR DRUGS.
BUT WHEN IT
IS THEIR DIRTY FUEL, THE CANADIANS ARE GREAT.
WHEN DID YOU THINK OF THAT?
EARLIER TODAY.
THAT IS GREAT.
THAT'S GOOD.
THANK YOU.
I'M PUTTING IT IN MY ACT.
