- March 1 | Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, took to the Senate floor to decry GOP attacks on ESG investing as a false flag for the fossil fuel industry's climate denial operation.
Senator Whitehouse at his best here.
Thank you again, Senator 🇺🇸💕
You would believe anything if you believe this moron.
Yes, Thank you Senator Whitehouse for your dedicated non-dereliction of duties to the American People .
IF we really cared for the environment ALL U.S. government representatives would limit or STOP traveling internationally for a 1 hour speech.
HINT: John Kerry, Environmental groups leaders,
@@adel19997 You tell em Kool aid drinker.
This senator has to be one of the most unappreciated. Anyone would say this guy and his staff put in some serious hours. He always knocks it out of the park.
God knows the only way to avoid failure is to never to anything.
Give us a break, Whitehouse, the entire thing is a fraud. I don't know at what point one can declare insanity, somewhere South of having 400 pet cats, would be safe, I think. Don't worry, be happy. It only takes 4 minutes to review the arctic sea ice record thus knowing mammals will be extinct by 2026. Everything else is a distraction presented by your global dystopian nightmare existence. Have a nice day. The models for Limits to Growth of 1973 are now proven accurate. The state has no plans, so the only difference between a Republican & a Democrat is how fast the knee hits the floor when a donor walks in the room. Don't tell me the 1973 Limits to Growth models were that accurate. I asked you not to tell me that. The 1979 report on greenhouse gases was spot on too. Don't rub it in. It said now was "too late" Bummer, hearing this is much worse than you think in your dystopian nightmare existence. Voting in a Democracy is the cult-like faith it is a good idea to harness our collective minds, so the only difference between a Republican & Democrat is how fast the knee hits the floor when a donor walks in the room. Some are so insane; they share other people's delusions. We can't talk about how deep the problem is. The big problem is the Christian presenting. It discloses the presentation is a fraud created by those in delusion, those willing to ignore credibility, to publicly insult intelligence with suggestions we travel with one foot in fantasyland. The Christian, authorized by himself, is routinely permitted to weigh-in on whatnot, as if the earth had gravity-free zones. The Gospels, being a joke, have their master say a wicked generation seeks signs. Then, the Christian declares sacred text, with a sign in every chapter. Even Mary is a slur. Can't have too many Mary' in a story. Even Alex Jones knows to use Jesus-lingo, they will buy anything. But wait, there's more. The Christian has a divine sense of vanity. We are all gods, Children of the Highest. Jesus is never depicted as short, fat & balding. He has extra-long arms on the shroud so even in death, the Christian can admire his modesty. The Christian routinely maintains a delusion his fraud goes unseen, not one understands it is a bad idea to chat with the homeless, having a conversation with an imaginary friend by speaking into a hairdryer. The Christian is made by the fascist state, render to Caesar, turn the other cheek, & walk the extra mile, sheep to hear the voice of God & take up the cross. The rate of insanity in any population is graduated. Democracy is a cult-like faith where many actually believe giving power to others always has consequence which can be tolerably managed by the managers & one size fits all policy is the way to go. The big problem is the Christian presenting. It discloses the presentation is a fraud created by those in delusion, those willing to ignore credibility, to publicly insult intelligence with suggestions we travel with one foot in fantasyland. The Christian, authorized by himself, is routinely permitted to weigh-in on whatnot, as if the earth had gravity-free zones.

I agree, however, the modern GOP has zero interest in facts or reality.
Agreed. He works hard for the people.
I think he and Katie Porter are long lost siblings.
And he's ALWAYS focused on the most important issues. The pivotal ones, unlike most the others. If they all focused on the issues Sheldon does, we'd have real great change in all the right directions, imo. And if only the press would follow. Sigh.
Brilliant and eloquent Senator Whitehouse:Let right and truth be done. Thank you, Senator, for exposing the fetid and pervasive corruption that saturates the GOP and corporate oligarchy.
Get ready. The source of this strangeness and craziness of the GOP over the last 6-10 years is going to eventually lead straight to certain members of the fossil fuel industry. History gives us a precedent. This stinks of an event in US history when some of the wealthiest and most powerfully connected people on the planet (bankers, wall street financiers, tycoons, and captains of industry like Hearst, DuPont, J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller and "STANDARD OIL"), joined forces to create the American Liberty League to oppose FDR's New Deal plan. They would also secretly conspire to overthrow FDR in 1933-34 in what is now known as the "Wall Street Putsch" also called the "Business Plot". These powerful entities didn't like FDR's plan to end Laissez Faire and his plan to take the US off of the gold standard, actions that would have caused these magnates and tycoons to lose huge chunks of their fortunes to inflation. They believed FDR's plan was making them pay for the collapse of the economy caused by the crash of 1929. After observing the "apparent" economic miracles in Germany and Italy these wealthy and powerfully connected people believed that fascism offered a better solution. To this end they sought to replace our democracy with a fascist regime lead by an authoritarian stooge, (sound familiar?). What's really scarry is that they almost pulled it off. If not for a true American patriot named General Butler we might have lost our democracy. I think Americans would do well to review this period in US history. I believe this because it looks like something very similar is happening. It's no surprise that the fossil fuel industry has perceived a threat to their multi-billion dollar industry. They are on record for attempts to curry favor with sympathetic (venal) politicians. They have watched a left leaning government begin to listen more and more to climate scientists and their theories about global warming. I believe they have seen the writing on the wall. Their ability to manipulate public opinion and influence politicians with their huge war chest is being strained. Lets face it, their best chance of surviving the coming storm was to get (and keep) someone like Trump in office.
It is corporate welfare. If the oligarchs had to work for a living, feed themselves or wipe their own backsides, they would cease to exist.
@@shellyviescas4205 Some do, some don't. We need more people like Elon Musk.
@@whiteeagle6370 you mean more Aparteid babies?
Both parties are corrupt
You are a true American hero. Thank you from one very concerned American.
THANK YOU!!! FOR STANDING FOR SCIENCE and Truth!
Whitehouse for the Whitehouse !
Yes, but he doesn't want to be in the Whitehouse as he thinks he can do more good where he's at doing what he's doing now and I have to agree.
@@C.M.30337 Him & J Raskin, huh?
He is so valuable to America as a Senator. His fearless reviews of what is happening in the negative is a national treasure.
Senator WHITEHOUSE for
The WHITE HOUSE 2024
(if Joe doesn’t want to run)🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
@@susanfrancis5471, He might not want to because he can do more as a senator. We should take what he says and advertise it loudly, making it become common knowledge, not just for us who like him.
@@boa1793
I think you’ve got something there!💙
@@susanfrancis5471 I would love to see him in the WH, but in these times, with democracy teetering on the edge of a cliff, we need him in the Senate. Just like we need Raskin in the House!
@@boa1793 Strong, productive congressional Democratic members with visibility and a consistent positive presence for the people will help sell Blue to voters, and especially elevate the passion of the Gen Z community!
Thank you Senator Whitehouse and TEAM! I wish I could clone you and fill more Senate and Congressional seats with truth-tellers!
It isn’t this lying fool.
Agree 💯 % 👍
I love this. Thank you Senator Sheldon Whitehouse!
An old friend of mine, God rest his soul, used to say 'there's nothing more satisfying than watching someone do what they were born to do'. Mr. Whitehouse is doing what he was born to do!
OOH, what would your friend (God rest his soul) say about Elon Musk? I am really curious because I have no words for that man.
@@e-spy we used to be big fans of Elon. I'm sure Doc would be just as baffled& disappointed as I am today
@@e-spy aparteid baby
Amen! Senator Whitehouse is a National Treasure. It’s about time he’s receiving more airtime/coverage.
@@e-spy
I think Musk is a lonely man.
He just wants someone to listen to him, and like him.
He creeps me out.
He does his research/ homework .
🇺🇸👍
Senator Whitehouse is a true unsung hero.He is a voice crying out in the wilderness.Gods speed sir.
Thank you, Sen. Whitehouse.
I think Senator Whitehouse is one of the most underrated legislators in Congress. He is presidential material. He is brilliant.
He's not my Senator, but his office accepts calls and emails seriously.
He works on a lot of things we are not aware of. We should follow him and join his causes.
whitehouse for potus
whitehouse for the whitehouse
Or SCOTUS
@@georgesheffield1580 Yes , for SCOTUS.
Because presidents come and go.

THANK You for fighting for the good!!! *_Wealth bred a class of humans that have no regard for where wealth comes from: US WORKERS_*
Thank you SO MUCH, Senator Whitehouse for exposing this UNENDING CORRUPTION!
Senator Whitehouse speaking truth, as usual!
Senator Whitehouse is such a brilliant speaker and communicator. I love to listen to him.
I adore Senator Whitehouse, he is the real deal for our Democracy! Keep up the great work that you do Sheldon Whitehouse! You always speak Truth to power! God Bless you:)
No teleprompters, occasional notes, this person clearly knows what they're talking about.
Oh, for god sakes, please, please please just run for president in the next election. Will you please? And get Katie Porter to be your vice president please? Really, this is what you need to do. It’s what America needs you to do. Please. We need you.
Love you Senator! We need more like you in elected office.
Wow !
This Senator is for us all.
Senator Whitehouse, I have been unaware of you but I am pleasantly surprised! I had almost forgotten what a real Congressperson was. After watching the circus in the House you are a breath of fresh air! Well done sir!
This is what a real Senator looks like, thank you, Senator Whitehouse!
This winehouse's other google acct 😅😅
Thank you Senator Whitehouse!
With that name you know exactly where he's needed. By more than just America.
👏👏👏😄I love hearing Senator Whitehouse talk. Go get em
This Senator is not bought
This Senator is above the trifles of left n right !
He is balanced , forthright and is a better candidate for high office then anything presently offered ! Your Actions n Words match up ! Keep on this road ! You will be Noticed !
As a foreigner (Swede), everytime I listen to this Senator, I can actually fact check and find that he is very truthful and pragmatic. Rare these days.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse
When will this Insanity End!
I'll vote for mr. Whitehouse anytime for president United States
Excellent Sen. Whitehouse. Thank you.
I am so grateful for you and your wisdom. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I wish he would run for the Presidency
I’d vote for him as well. Except we desperately need him and his ilk in the senate.
2028?
I love this guy.he always tells us the truth.its nice,and terrifying
This guy is the bomb. Whomever are his constituents are spoiled..
Senator Whitehouse is able to spell out the simple truths in plain language. He does his homework and shines the light into the darkness and subterfuge of Big Oil’s machinations.
Thank you Sheldon! We need you so much.
Thank you Sen. Whitehouse!! You are simply amazing 👏 ❤️
That's my senator! So proud that he represents my home state!
Thank you Sen Whitehouse for your expertise!!!🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🗽💙
thank you Senator, you are a treasure
After a day of listening to right-wing attacks on A.G. Garland, it is a relief to see Senator Whitehouse bringing us back to reality. He is a national treasure.
Wasn't the earlier show just disgusting. They are disrespectful, and not interested in what the tax payers want.
@@Jess-kz2wn Yes, the right-wing wants to get their narrative out there, they are not interested in asking questions and listening to Garland's responses. But there is a large diversity in taxpayers, so it is hard to talk about them as being a single homogeneous group.
Thank you Senator!
Please keep naming those names! It is the only way we citizens can become familiar with these dark organizations and manipulators.
Thank you for bringing more facts and truth in government. People need to know who these backroom and shadow manipulators are!
Thank you so much senator, your family should be beyond PROUD
"Pop up operation". I feckin' LOVE it. Sheldon is the MAN.
Imagine if all senators were this qualified.
Dude, don't make me cry.
We almost got Herschel Walker, but Tommy Tuberville is enough.
lol😀😄😃😄😀
Sen Whitehouse is definately the Professor in the schoolhouse. Problem is, he speaks to too many in the room who have the educational accumen of one Jethro Bodine ("I done gradiated the 6th grade")!
Some smart people listen to him too.
I always thought he 'gradiated' from the 5th grade ~ twice. ;-P
Here in lies the problem. I occasionally like to go on right wing sites just to see what's up and it's scary. Bimbo Lauren boebert was talking about this and my god, she sounds like a total blathering idiot. She is so self righteous and she thinks the louder she is, the more right she is. People were commenting about how smart she is and that they love her. I always leave comments. I can't help myself. I have to at least try to talk some sense into these braindead people...
Listening to *Senator Whitehouse,* while drinking my morning coffee, is the best way to start my day. Thank you, SIR!
What an eloquent, brilliant, man of integrity clearly explaining this money-based monster seeking to save itself, and why - in the name of our own well being - we should hold out of power those that don't care about the well-being of even themselves, let alone the rest of us.
Yeah, I thought A-holes claimed to love their progeny, too!
Described to perfection Mr. Senator Whitehouse. Absolutely the truth, spoken without hesitation and with complete honesty. Thank you so much sir. My faith in Congress has been tortured for so many years. Now, a glimmer of hope. The people have been victimized by greedy, self service institutions and wealthy individuals that have made corruption an art form. If this wonderful country lasts through these turbulent times; historians will be describe this period in American history in very unflattering terms. God speed dear Senator.
Love this guy. He's always prepared with all of the facts. GOPers have to hate him,
Thanks, Senator Whitehouse for a again speaking with brutal clarity about another important issue about to come to a vote. Here in California, we appreciate what you do.👍
Brilliant speech in connecting the dots of the dark money world.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for all your work ....
Thank you senator Whitehouse for showing us the corruption that's in these different organizations
He's speaking to a room full of them. Not all Senators are corrupt, but all corrupt ones are Republicans.
This guy needs to run for President
Thank you and your staff for exposing institutional (i.e. GOP) corruption. Too bad they frame it as 'politics' when life is literally on the line.
Get these horrible people who care only about their bottom line out of our government. I don’t care how much money you have. Business has no place in our democracy! Thank you Mr. Whitehouse! There are so many things that need to be done for the American people. Thank you for exposing these crimes.
A one-man oversight committee.
Republican exposed big time 💥
How can Americans ignore all of this??
We see the consequences!! We live IN the consequences!! We die because of the consequences!!
The Americans that need to be convinced watch Fox and vote Trump.
When politicians take a stance you always have to look for the donor/s with their hand/s up the politician's backside. These are corporate representatives. They aren't representing The People.
You are a powerful speaker, sir
Thank you for pushing back by revealing Fossil Fuel's influence in spreading false fears.
I hope to God that the GOP will finally realize they live on this planet too.
Why the media doesn't have Sheldon on a media tour I do not know. Something is rotten in our politics. The greed of big oil is astounding. These oligarchs names should be called out and plastered on bill boards so we remember who they are. Why do they get anonymity and their big yahts?
For-profit mainstream media gets a lot of revenue from the fossil fuel industry. It's money well spent.
I love you Sheldon and appreciate all the wisdom and knowledge you bring to the group of knuckleheads that you have to talk to like 5 year olds. You are a good man and I believe you care about this country unlike the 5 year old you have to speak to. Keep up the fantastic work and us true patriotic Americans appreciate and love you
Thank you dear senator Whitehouse don't let Republicans fool we the people 💙
Actually its us the people.
Ooh, right, it's in the object position here. Not subject, like in the preamble quote.
This is amazing. Gives me hope. Thank you!
Thank you for your work and your information. 👏👏👏👏
I just subscribed to your site. I have heard so much good about your work and get emails to contribute to you reelection campaign. You have just convinced me to send you what I can!
Good on you, Senator!
Whitehouse/ Raskin 2024
What a dream ticket that would be. Truth seeking people who are knowledgeable and still decent when they call out wrongdoing and are working to make changes for the betterment of this country.
Definitely
Better Woke than asleep
💯💯 wise organized kind elegant. I don't mind being woke either. I made it up going to make me a tee. Since they keep making things up.💯💯🤦🏾♀️
Woke, like patriot, freedom and awesome no longer has a meaning.
sure, if woke, patriot or freedom is coming from the mouth of a politician
@@lv6852 or yours….
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. I am so grateful for your leadership, perseverance and continued dedication to save our planet and our species and those we share this earth with. It is so disheartening to see so plainly the greed and corruption of the Republican Party and the people who pay for them.
Thank you Senator Whitehouse for shining a light on B.S. perpetuated against the people 🙏🏻💕
I hope you’re an ally of Katie Porter, and I hope she gets into the Senate. You all are power houses
Thank you Senator Whitehouse. " Preposterous majical thinking", you nailed it. I always come here for the truth.
Sen. Whitehouse is a National and worldwide treasure - keep up the great work, appreciate it so much!
Glad he's a Senator.
Bravo, Senator.
Bless him, he's trying but, no one is listening nor caring. All they see is dollar signs$$$$$😔
It's only your opinion that no one is listening or caring! how do you just spit it out like you know everybody's mind... you do not!
@@jaynemarino7011 WOW 😳.......... because if they were listening or caring, something would be being done about it, instead of ignoring the problem that the senator is trying to help fix. 😔.
💙Senator, thank you! I don't know, or maybe you have tried, but I would love to see a group of Dems who can rally with you in this most important cause of our environment. A strong group of serious mouthpieces. Please use social media more, good sir. We are out here to support you! We need this knowledge you're talking about to have the ammunition to fight back! 💙💪
It's like the Democrats got all the good genetics and Republicans got the leftovers.
You restore my faith. Please, keep up your great work.
Thank you, Senator
I've seen him a few times in hearings and have been so impressed!!! I would hope he knows there are so many of us would suggest he could be a viable candidate!!!
Senator Whitehouse is tackling 2 problems simultaneously - the environmental catastrophe & corruption in the Supreme Court. He's tried to get support from his colleagues to pass the Disclose Act which would go a long way toward solving these problems. He needs us citizens!!
LIKE. SHARE. SUBSCRIBE 👏 👏 👏 👏
Well said!
My other nine thumbs: 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great job
I wish congress kept their fiduciary duty to the people and not the dark money. Senator Whitehouse is one on a short list of national politicians I consider serves the interests of the people. Thank you Senator.
Excellent statement: "I wish congress kept their fiduciary duty to the people." We the people need to hold them to this, with no wiggle space, and consequences with bite. We can start by voting them out.
Bro... Its bad because youre telling folks who to hire because theyre simply not white and because you shouldnt enforce climate religion on people by law, when its to just gain capitol from bill gates... That's whats weird
Most Americans are not worried about climate change. Theyre worried about paying their bills.
Spot on!
It is always so refreshing to hear an intelligent Representative speak clearly backed by facts. One more reason to regulate 501c3's and to get rid of dark money.
