TURNS OUT THAT BEN CARSON IS GETTING ADVICE ABOUT HIS
FUTURE PROPOSAL ON ENERGY POLICY FROM AN OIL GUY.
HE IS GETTING ADVICE FROM T. BOONE PICKENS, A WEALTHY
INDIVIDUAL WITHIN THE ENERGY BUSINESS.
ACCORDING TO REPORTS, CARSON IMPRESSED THE MEGA-DONOR
WHEN THEY MET IN SEPTEMBER 2014
IN PICKEN'S DALLAS OFFICES, ACCORDING TO A SPOKESMAN.
IT IS CLEAR HE IS GOING TO DONATE MONEY TO CARSON, BUT
MONEY HAS ALREADY BEEN DONATED TO JEB BUSH AND CARLY FIORINA.
THE ENERGY INVESTOR HAS A FAN IN CARSON AND WILL HAVE AN
INFLUENCE ON THE ENERGY POLICIES THE CANDIDATE EVENTUALLY
UNVEILS.
FIRST OF ALL, IT IS HIDEOUS THAT HE IS TALKING TO SOMEONE
THAT HAS A VESTED INTEREST IN THESE POLICIES.
IT IS EQUALLY HIDEOUS IF THIS GUY IS RUNNING FOR
PRESIDENT AND HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HIS ENERGY POLICY WOULD BE.
HE DOESN'T KNOW IT BECAUSE HE HASN'T GOTTEN HIS ORDERS YET.
CARSON'S CAMPAIGN CLARIFIED THAT IT IS STILL FORMULATING ITS
ENERGY PLAN AND SPEAKING TO DIFFERENT EXPERTS.
IS HE GOING TO TALK TO SCIENTISTS?
NO.
BY ENERGY EXPERTS HE MEANS BILLIONAIRES WHO HAVE A
VESTED INTEREST IN THE ENERGY INDUSTRY AND ARE LOOKING
FORWARD TO BRIBING HIM.
PICKENS HAS ALREADY BRIBED JEB BUSH AND CARLY FIORINA.
NOW THAT CARSON IS SURGING AND HE IS IN
SECOND PLACE IN
ALL THE POLLS, PICKENS THINKS THAT HE SHOULD PROTECT HIS
INVESTMENT.
THIS IDIOT WILL SAY IN PUBLIC THAT I DON'T HAVE AN ENERGY
POLICY, SO I'M GOING TO GO TALK TO AN EXPERT.
WE HAVE LEGALIZED RAMPANT BRIBERY THAT PEOPLE BRIBE
ABOUT IN PUBLIC.
YOU KNOW WHAT HIS PLAN IS FOR ENERGY?
IT IS TO BECOME INDEPENDENT FROM OPEC.
HOW?
IT TURNS OUT WE SHOULD INVEST IN THE ENERGY COMPANIES LIKE
FRACKING, CRUDE, AND OIL WHERE HE MAKES MONEY FROM HERE IN
THE U.S. WHAT A WONDERFUL ENERGY PLAN.
THAT IS A NICE BREAK THAT HIS ENERGY PLAN HAPPENS TO
MAKE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY THE ISSUE OF CLIMATE CHANGE EITHER
DOESN'T COME UP AT ALL, OR IS BRIEFLY MENTIONED.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS A VERY INCONVENIENT THING FOR
POLITICIANS TO TALK ABOUT.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU ARE, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN BOUGHT OFF.
THEY RARELY MENTION IT.
YOU HAVE THESE PEOPLE ñ THE FACT THAT PICKENS HAS ALREADY
FUNDED TWO REPUBLICANS SHOWS YOU THAT HE DOESN'T CARE WHO
GETS ELECTED, THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.
I RUN A BUSINESS HERE, I WENT TO BUSINESS SCHOOL, AND I
KNOW HOW BUSINESSES THINK.
HE IS PROTECTING HIS INVESTMENT.
HE KNOWS HE IS GOING TO GET A RETURN ON THIS.
HE THINKS IF I INVEST IN THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES, THEY
WILL DO WHAT I TOLD THEM TO.
THEN THEY ARE GOING TO TURN AROUND AND PUT TAXPAYER
MONIES INTO MY COMPANIES.
IF I PUT MY INVESTMENTS IN BUSH AND FIORINA AND THEY
DON'T WIN AND CARSON WINS, OH, THAT WASN'T SMART.
I AM GOING TO MAKE THE POINT THAT SHOULD BE MADE.
PICKENS- LET'S GO TO A WIDE SHOT SO YOU CAN SEE HIM.
HOW MANY YEARS DOES THIS HOMEBOY HAVE LEFT?
CAN WE JUST TRY TO SAVE THE PLANET FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE
GOING TO LIVE LONGER THAN YOU?
MAYBE FOR ME OR MY KIDS?
HOW MUCH MORE WEALTHY DO YOU
NEED TO BE?
HE IS A MULTIBILLIONAIRE.
IF HE SPENT A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY EVERY DAY, HE
STILL WOULD HAVE MONEY LEFT OVER.
LIVE YOUR LIFE AND PLEASE GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM EVERYONE
SO WE CAN LIVE OUR LIVES.
IT IS INCREDIBLE HOW GREED GETS RID OF ALL LOGIC.
TO BE FAIR, HE WOULD SAY IT IS LOGICAL.
LET ME GO ON A QUICK RANT HERE.
A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO IT WAS 100 DEGREES IN MID OCTOBER.
14 YEARS AGO WHEN I MOVED HERE THAT NEVER HAPPENED.
NOW, IT IS 100 DEGREES CONSISTENTLY IN THE FALL.
I AM NOT A KNUCKLEHEAD, I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
WEATHER AND CLIMATE.
WE HAVE ALL THE DATA ON OUR SIDE THAT IT IS GETTING HOTTER
EVERY YEAR.
AS I WAS SITTING THERE, I THOUGHT THEY ARE GOING TO
MELT THE PLANET.
YEAH.
FOR WHATEVER REASON, ALL THE THINGS I HAVE DONE, AT THAT
MOMENT IT CLICKED FOR ME.
THEY ARE ENDANGERING ALL OF US.
WHO CARES ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN L.A., BUT WHEN THE
TEMPERATURE BECOMES THAT EXTREME AND YOU KILL CROPS, THEN
YOU HAVE MASS MOVEMENTS, AND YOU HAVE STARVATION, AND ALL
THESE THINGS, THEY ARE COOKING US ALIVE WITH THEIR GREED.
WHAT DO THEY DO?
THEY PRIVATIZED GAINS AND SOCIALIZED LOSSES ONTO THE WHOLE
PLANET.
WHEN WE START BURNING, I WILL BE DAMNED IF WE DON'T GO BACK
AND TAKE ALL THOSE PROFITS.
EVERYBODY WHO MADE A FUCKING DIME IN OIL AND COAL AND ALL THE
THINGS THAT DESTROY THIS PLANET, YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE THAT HOME.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE POWERLESS.
THEY LAUGH ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK.
ONE DAY IF WE REGAIN POWER, IF YOU WERE IN THE BUSINESS AND
YOU DESTROYED THE PLANET YOU DON'T GET TO KEEP THE FUCKING
PROFIT.
IT IS MADDENING.
ONE LAST THING, PICKENS SPOKESMAN SAID "
BOONE HAS AN OPEN DOOR ON PRETTY MUCH EVERY PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE WHEN IT COMES TO WILLINGNESS TO EDUCATE THEM
ON KEY ENERGY ISSUES."
THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE BECOME WHERE BILLIONAIRES HAVE
OPEN-DOOR POLICIES TO PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND
THEY WILL COME IN AND SAY I WILL WRITE YOU A CHECK, NOW
HERE'S YOUR EDUCATION ON ENERGY POLICIES.
YOU CALL THIS A DEMOCRACY?
NO, WE HAVE TO OVERTURN THEM.
GOD DAMMIT, WE HAVE TO GO TO A CONVENTION AND GET AN AMENDMENT.
WASHINGTON IS NEVER GOING TO GIVE YOU AN AMENDMENT.
ANY PROGRESSIVE OR ESTABLISHMENT FIGURE WHO TELLS YOU YOU DON'T
DO A CONVENTION, IT MIGHT LEAD TO REAL CHANGE, THEY ARE
NOT FOR YOU, THEY ARE AGAINST YOU.
THEY WANT TO
PROTECT THE SYSTEM.
THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE YOUR TAXPAYER MONEY AND PUT IT
IN THEIR POCKET.
HERE IS WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT, WOLF-PAC.COM.
COME TEAR THIS SHIT DOWN WITH US.
TEAR DOWN THE SYSTEM.
THIS IS A DEMOCRACY.
YOU REPLACE IT WITH FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS.
DEMOCRACY.
