A federal judge has ordered the EPA to release their scientific evidence showing clearly that climate change is not caused by human activity, according to Pruitt. There's no connection in his clear mind. Well, Scott Pruitt swore that during an interview. He swore there's just no connection. Environmental groups say, "Well, we want to see what in the world that bone head was relying on." Basically, that's what they're saying.
Yeah. See, I wrote about this the day after he went on CNBC, which was last year, back in 2017.
Yeah.
He went out there and he said, "Listen. I can't tell you everything that we have but, I will say the science is not settled on this. We do have documentation that clearly disputes that human beings are in any way involved in climate change." And the next day, this group, PEER, says, "Well, that sounds fascinating, Mr. Pruitt. Can we see those documents too?" And at the time, obviously, he said, "No, no, no, no, no. These are my super secret EPA documents." And so they had to file the FOIA request and here we are a year later, because they've been fighting it tooth and nail, and a judge finally rules on this and says, listen if you allegedly have this science, these papers, that would really blow the lid off the whole climate change thing ... if you have proof otherwise, tell us so we can start addressing this.
So, here's the ending to this. A, he doesn't have proof.
No, he doesn't.
Clearly he was lying. Again. B. We seem to, again, look the other way and say, well, this is Scott Pruitt, you know he's not well balanced, something's wrong with the guy. We're going to let this ride. And the Administration does not have the good sense to say enough is enough with this guy. You're causing us so much problems, we already have problems in this Administration. And now, along comes Scott Pruitt, who seems to be ... I mean, he's some type of serial liar.
By the way, how about the story where he's talking about ... There's so many stories about Scott Pruitt but, the one that hits me is one I think we covered last week where we find out that he's being rented this condominium in Washington, D.C. that's worth a lot of money every month, and he ends up ... What's he paying for it?
$50 bucks a night.
$50 dollars a night in this condominium. Now, why is that important? Because the people who gave him the condominium are a lobbyist group who have gone to him and asked for favors. And at this point, he seems to think, "Well, I don't have to explain all this." He says, "Well, it's just old friends helping old friends."Isn't that basically his explanation?
That's exactly his explanation. And you know, last week everybody's talking about ... 'cause you know, Scott Pruitt, he had the pen scandal, 'cause he's spending hundreds of dollars on each individual pen.
Talk about it. Some people may not know about this.
He got popped spending ... I think the cheapest pen was about $120 dollars. For a pen. Some over $200.
And I'm sure we're going to find women's shoes, the same way. He has a fetish for women's ... This guy's a nut.
And then we find out he uses a staffer on the taxpayers dime, to go look at buying a used hotel mattress for God, I can't even imagine why any human would want to buy a hotel mattress. Then he had the staffer, again, and this is illegal, you cannot have your staff doing ...
Going out doing work, mow my yard.
And try to find information, so my wife can buy or run or start a Chic-fil-A franchise. And while all this is happening, 'cause that's what the media's talking about, Scott Pruitt, he's ridiculous, he's breaking the law, which is true.
But the things he's doing ... that's ...
Two major regulations last week, he worked on repealing and put that in motion. One has to do with air pollution standards, which means ...
