The success of the Koch brothers tells us the most lucrative investment in US is not in oil, or high tech, or weapon manufacturing, but in politicians. You give them $1 million in campaign donation and they will give you $1 billion in tax cuts and subsidies, no other investment has such a high rate of return.
You know when you put it that way it really shows you how cheap they are. What boring people. 😑
Yup, just ask Soros.
@Chadillac Soros is nowhere near the same level as the Kochs you lying pieces of garbage.
Henry Lee Cadillac is a paid Troll.
So true! Did you see how cheaply the NRA paid off Republicans? Not even a million to the orange orangutan who claims to be a billionaire.
In the 1970's I was part of the Learjet team that delivered a brand new L35 to Charles Koch. He was the nastiest guy I ever encountered at that job; his pilot actually apologized for Charles' rudeness. That is how Koch Industries treats the world.
Thanks for posting!
I am naive but why would/ what does anybody that rich have cause to be so rude??? I don’t understand why he wouldn’t be appreciative and grateful for all the spoils his billions and billions can buy & has bought.
ali shaygan
They are rude and unappreciative because they believe they deserve better than the best. They’re like spoiled children, always getting what they want.
NOT JUST 2 guys! TONS of money, people willing to disregard logic for greed and all those who wont think for more time than it takes to play a video game. Even the Koch brothers were amazed this worked so well.
"Scary Kate and Trashley"
Just give her the Emmy now.
+1 million!
Now I want to call every Ashley Trashley.
Full frontal does not get the credit it deserves for bringing up climate and environmental issues. The other shows barely talk about it.
Remember when Sam hilariously tried to normalize Glenn Beck to her audience. That was hilarious.
absolutely true!
Who pays for the other shows?
Samantha is a force for good. Right up there with Hasan Minhaj, John Oliver, and good old Jon Stewart. :)
Colbert and Noah... not so much. Maybe sometimes. When their business daddies pull out long enough for them to express a thought of their own.
But she supports Glen Beck so... shows how much credibility she has... ZERO
when a lie is told long enough, even it can sound as real as the truth
Republicans m.o.
It comes from Goebbels Propaganda which runs ZioNist diatribe. Support the lie with rhetoric and never quit.
To quote Ron Perlman "I hope to see a Koch brothers reunion."
God I love him!
I hope I'm not where they are to see it.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS SO BAD THAT OBUMMER JUST BOUGHT A $15M BEACHFRONT PROPERTY. LET THAT SINK IN.
@@chadclemen
It will be years before sea levels rise enough to inundate that property, with a worst case estimate of around a foot more water by 2050 and four feet by 2100.
The concern about climate change in wealthy countries is not higher sea levels; it is higher temperatures messing with crop growth, changes to natural disaster patterns (including more wildfires and hurricanes), and a decrease in global geopolitical stability.
@@OriginalPiMan by then people have long figured out that the climate scam is just another left-wing hoax.
"Conservatives" used to be conservationists. How far they've fallen.
Conservative used to mean conserving values and environment.
Now it just means conserving their $.
once they get them with their fake patriotism and fake religion the rest is easy .
Liberals used to care about the Unions, wages, jobs, anti-war, etc. Now they care about environmental racism and police hatred, 3rd trimester abortion, drag queen stories.
yup teddy Roosevelt enacted the federal state parks act for conservation of natural. of course though during this time period people were reacting to industrial revolution and finding a love of nature again.
@ PERFECT ANSWER!!!! THANK YOU DYVIM!!!
Finally someone does a story on the Koch brothers. Sam, you are doing more good for the truth that most news orgs! The Koch brothers have backed so many legislators in my state that promised to “bring back coal jobs,” and do a ton else, but bottom line, they go city by city and have bought the city councilman and donated to the city to make it sway their way for anything that comes up.
My state has been bought and paid for by the brothers; their “policy” has pretty much changed the state of KY in the last 10 years, although I’ know I’ve heard the name in the news, at times pretty controversially, since I’ve lived here over 25 years. Check out the courier journal out of Louisville for honest stories with them.
I have to wonder if Paul Ryan hasn’t had some if not a lot of influence from them. The FEC hasn’t filed what he’s taken in in the last year or even year and a half.
I’d love to see if the senators from KY that always vote consistently are being bought out by the Koch brothers. Maybe digging for an intern?
Saw Sam live tonight. She’s a real pro breezed through all those segments.
on John Stewart she used to go flawlessly through long fast monologues- Colbert, Trevor Noah, even John Oliver, nobody else can do it
I know she's quite famous but she's still severely underrated
CLIMATE CHANGE IS SO BAD THAT OBUMMER JUST BOUGHT A $15M BEACHFRONT PROPERTY. LET THAT SINK IN.
How do you get in?
Samia Subhan Cadillac is a paid Troll.
Charles Koch was the real brain of the company. All the free market and climate change philosophies seem to happily coincide with his business interests. At least when politicians are parroting his propaganda they are getting paid. When the average citizen does it’s just pathetic. America really is the home of the con man.
Seems some people like to forget that Al Gore got the popular vote over GW Bush.
I know I haven't forgotten. That Recount was false too.
Yep, just like Hillary did over tRump. TWO Presidencies, stolen in the last twenty years by corruption and gerrymandering. You'd think all the, "Patriots", would cringe at how hard the people they vote for continue to corrupt America's governmental systems. I guess they believe only Republican votes count.
How patriotic..

You trying to be cute son?
If my name was Koch I'd probably want people to pronounce it "Coke" as well, but we don't have to go along with it.
^The second greatest trick the Devil ever pulled.
@@bmarkrundle Mispronouncing Koch? Not much of a trick, Bray. What's the first?
Are there any major problems in the US that isn’t caused, maintained or made worse by the republicans, and their donors?
CLIMATE CHANGE IS SO BAD THAT OBUMMER JUST BOUGHT A $15M BEACHFRONT PROPERTY. LET THAT SINK IN.
Only the ones that are caused by corporations and even then only the ones the aforementioned people don't directly have a hand in already.
Democrats are just as bad. They do nothing but cry. Just like republicans. When are you going to realize they are the same.
@@chadclemen the blabbering gasbag
Contributing to climate change.
FACT !!
@@chadclemen Let what sink in? You yelled a collection of words with no pay off
These people would Doom the planet for a few extra bucks.
Would? They did. Reagan started it rolling taking down the solar thermal panels off the White House that Carter installed. The panels are in a solar museum in China. It's actually a funny story.
Clinton sold how much plutonium to russia?
This is the best segment I have ever seen on her show. Outstanding job.
Even if you are person who doesn't believe in climate change and its potential impacts in our country and the rest of the world (for whatever reason), why would you not want the United States to move to green energy sources to help keep our country's forests, lakes, rivers, and beaches clean for future generations as well as to help keep large masses of migrants from fleeing nations that are no longer habitable or even underwater?!
Ha, again, you make too much sense for people who don't believe in blatantly obvious facts. ^^
@KING C.A.W.A: I wrote this comment earlier today on another video, and I feel it is relevant to what you just said: FOX News and Republican politicians like President Trump like to attack "Blue States" like California, New York, and Illinois and their "liberal policies/lifestyle." However, they always seem to forget that there are millions of Republican voters and many Republican congressmen from these states, so just labeling these states as ones where only liberals live is misleading and it actually hurts their chances of winning local elections in the future.
Because of their allergy for the act of ‘helping’. Its speed is only seconded by their verbal diarrhea when hearing the word immigrant
CLIMATE CHANGE IS SO BAD THAT OBUMMER JUST BOUGHT A $15M BEACHFRONT PROPERTY. LET THAT SINK IN.
@@chadclemen and? He is rich. He is going to have fun with it for about 10 or 20 years and then it will destroyed
Sam is rocking that Captain Kangaroo Blazer.
IKR? where TF do you buy something like that? A 70s resale boutique?
I once saw a political cartoon where there was a map of the United States of America. In this image, all of the landlocked states were in red with one big word bubble that said "climate change is a myth." Meanwhile, all of the coastal/southern border states were blue with multiple word bubbles that said "we beg to differ" since those landlocked states don't see the impacts of climate change that coastal states do. Also, you'd figure that more Conservative Evangelicals would actually care about climate change and it's impacts on society. Keep in mind, the Bible does say that the Earth is God's gift to man, and it's our duty to take care of it and everyone/everything on it. But, even if they found a way around this, you'd figure that they would at least want to prevent millions of migrants from countries that are no longer habitable from wanting to come to America in future decades.
Jesse Torres Oh, Jesse, I'm afraid evangelicals skipped over some chapters in the bible, like the ones about loving thy neighbor, and taking care of the Earth, and are doing everything they can to cut right to the end times. They're ready to go to glory and don't care what kind of trade in they get on this planet. God save us all from religious fanatics!
Money and power have rotted the Republican's minds. Now, they think money and power are equal to access into heaven.
It has been long established that _rules are for other people._ We forgive ourselves, and give _mulligans_ to friends and colleagues, but everyone else out there are sinners and philistines. Heh, I'm sure that Jesus had a few things to say about tending to one's own garden first.
Yes, Christians are more concerned about two men kissing each other than they are about the fate of the planet and all the creatures who inhabit it. Sheer insanity and ignorance.
Have you ever spoken to an Evangelical? I live in the Bible Belt, and I sure have. Almost all of them expect Christ's second coming literally any day now. So concern about disasters 20-40 years away isn't part of their life. "Jesus is coming, and he will set things right." I've lost track of how many times I've heard that.
Of course both Jesus himself (if you believe the Gospels) and the Apostle Paul both said that Jesus would return in the lifetime of those listening. Seems that almost 2,000 years later people would start to suspect that wasn't true.
Meet their fans: The Koch suckers
I refuse to let you speak that way about Candace Owens and Steven Crowder! How DARE YOU SIR!!! /S/
Yeah, pronounced more like kock not koke.
Hirnlego999 that's hilarious!
XD
Hate to be rational/sceptical here,but they say it's"hottest year recorded"like every other year?!
Also mr.Bean Shapiro assured me that if my house is prone to flooding,I can just sell it and within weeks Koch affiliates Aquaman LLC.& Atlantis real estate GFYS.*were knocking down my door with generous offers!Much better,btw then my insurance company!?!
*I still don't know what it means exactly,but they said it's good and profitable.
Love You Samantha Bee. keep up the good fight! Going to a climate strike on Friday.
I will never forgive DJT for making me think fondly of the Bushes
Wow, Samantha Bee must have a big budget to have the Koch Brothers' photos on display multiple times #IYKYK
I think newscasters should always replace the phrase "Koch-funded" with "Koch-fueled". More accurate that way.
One thing I don't understand is the reason why they keep making the life of their children harder. Perhaps Koch brothers have terrible relationships with their children and grandchildren.
They probably feel protected from the consequences by their insane wealth. Worse still, they might be right... 😕
@@e-manr.486 If they do not care about social relationships, or hiding their true heritage, then there is no problem I guess.
Emmett Hardie “I never saw a hearse with a hitch!” -Maya Angelou
The Kochs understand that with the billions of dollars their children and grandchildren will inherit, they will be able to buy walled estates in the least affected areas. And will be able to easily afford the higher cost of food and drinkable water.
Royalty is above harm.
The "Let them eat cake!"
syndrome.
How'd that work out for you, Marie?
Charles Koch now knows how elated everyone will be when he dies too.
Don't forget, the invention of so-called "libertarianism"
I read Ayn Rand as a 17 year old.And I was absolutely intrigued. I will even admit to being enamored.Also, I became insufferable. Because, all of a sudden, I had simple solutions to complex problems. And who wouldn't want that?
As my friend often says: Libertarians are the flat-Earthers of politics.
They’re not even libertarian, libertarianism originated as an alternate term for ‘Anarchist’ when being one became illegal in France due to global anarchist terrorist acts (also called ‘propaganda by the deed’)
Keep up the good work.
Keep fighting the good fight.

#IngeniouslyBrilliantHuman I ❤ you S.B.F.N!
Biz Markie is now tending after 3 decades to the month, thanks Samantha!
2:07 You can't convince me that that "still living" brother isn't undead.
I thought we could all agree on keeping the planet clean but I guess not
The late Koch Brother. Not since Jerry Falwell has a human being made the world better so much faster...by leaving it.
It makes you wonder what someone with billions of dollars could do with an opposite message
Bonus points for mentioning Avi's "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle". Don't let that cover fool you - that book is incredible tale of high-action pirate mutiny. It was great.
Always wonderful, Samantha Bee.
Thanks for highlighting the devious activities these gits have used to warp people's reactions to the vital issues of conserving the environment
Bernie2020 has got the Green New Deal. Bernie2020 is the people’s candidate. ✌️💙✊🇺🇸
BERNIE 2020!!
Just remember that if Bernie Sanders doesn't get the nomination, any Democrat will be better than a Republican. Don't throw the climate -- and education, refugees, minorities, safety regulations, etc. -- under the bus by pouting and staying home or making a protest vote.
Dear Samantha Bee, It would be lovely to see, your show in at least 1440p
Climate change is also one of big problems in the world.
Samantha Bee kills me. Her biting wit is fun to watch.
Side note: Does anyone else think that she inherited that jacket from Captain Kangaroo?
The worst part is can and trade might have helped, _if we'd started it in 1994._ At this point it won't be enough by a long shot.
one of the more important expose's in history, please share.

Gas guzzling truck commercial following video. Way to get on board UA-cam!
We are and will continue to suffer the consequences of living in a plutocracy for many, many years.
I'm sure the Koch brothers would've spent less on reducing pollution from their empire, than the never ending spending in politics.
Great segment. Keep em comming.
I will let you know that I was not allowed to share this video on Facebook. You, madam, hold too much truth to be allowed on our network!
How very brave of you Sam, doing a scathing piece on the Koch Brothers after half of them have died!
Thanks for this. It's important to name the evil masterminds sometimes, so we can all know who they are and what they've done.
Thank you Samantha and team. This is important work you’re doing. Oh yeah, and you make it freaking hilarious too!
Did you know that over the last 50 years, North America has lost a fourth of its birds? That's 3 billion birds! Good thing everything's just fine, right, Koch Brother?
So if we never made lawn darts illegal we wouldn't have to deal with Trey Gowdy ?
When I was a kid, the adults around me would teach me about climate change, but the excuse not to do anything was "other countries like China won't do anything, so it's pointless." Now it's clear that we were the ones who were never going to do anything.
Meanwhile China has over 400,000 electric city transit buses on the streets and has the fastest growing solar and wind capacity.
They were a little slow off the mark -- but then people protested that the air in Beijing was easier to see than breath and boom.
There is a simple Maxim THAT HAS HELD TRUE up until now. Never underestimate the power of money. But don't ever expect that to change the truth. In other words money will be used more often to buy lies than it will be used to spread the truth.
Do the kock brothers have kids? How did they live so long. If my dad didn't care that the climate change was going to make my life worse and my children's lives possibly unbearable AND Had billions, well I would be actively acquiring my inheritance asap.
Unfortunately they do have kids. Here's one of them...I wouldn't call this an improvement.

Thank you for your comment, you are correct and I thank you for making note of that reality... With Majority Support, a simple change to our Constitution would be in order and with this Criminal in the White House now, anything is possible...
Thanks...
@@ClaudyArfaras Nice sentiment, and I agree she'd be a good option. Who knows, you might get your way one day without having to bother with a constitutional amendment... If US history and news have taught me anything, it's that the constitution is really just a list of friendly suggestions rather than an actual constraint on the government.
Their trolling of Greta Thunberg is absolutely shameful. Even for the Koch's.
Sam nailed Koch Bro's good in this one. You'd think the biggest oilygarchs would've come right out of big oil like GHWB. Newt didn't know what side his bread was buttered on🤣

Two responses:
Thanks for the shout out to Charlotte Doyle- a book I loved reading with 7th grade readers
I really under-appreciated GH Bush...
What people fail to realize is that marketing works! Look at the car you own or the soda you buy. You bought it because it was marketed to you.
David Koch was on a plane that crashed and caught fire. As the flames consumed most of the passengers, he hightailed it outta there without trying to help anyone. Perhaps now, he's in a fire he *_can't_* escape.
"Scary Kate & Trashley"..lol
The people who are wealthy, do not worry about climate change. They have already taken steps to protect themselves. We, the average people, will not be able to take protective action.
A Charlotte Doyle reference. I wasn’t ready for it.

Koch Industries, Inc. is an American multinational corporation based in Wichita, Kansas. Its subsidiaries are involved in the manufacturing, refining, and distribution of petroleum, chemicals, energy, fiber, intermediates and polymers, minerals, fertilizers, pulp and paper, chemical technology equipment, ranching, finance, commodities trading, and investing. Koch owns Invista, Georgia-Pacific, Molex, Flint Hills Resources, Koch Pipeline, Koch Fertilizer, Koch Minerals, Matador Cattle Company, and Guardian Industries. The firm employs 120,000 people in 60 countries, with about half of its business in the United States. The company is the largest landowner in the Athabasca oil sands.
In March 1999, Koch Petroleum Group acknowledged that it had negligently discharged hundreds of thousands of gallons of aviation fuel into wetlands from its refinery in Rosemount, Minnesota, and that it had illegally dumped a million gallons of high-ammonia wastewater onto the ground and into the Mississippi River. Koch Petroleum paid a $6 million fine and $2 million in remediation costs, and was ordered to serve three years of probation.
And one more thing... Koche funded Citizens United. And that certainly isn't doing any good for the working people of our country.
IT'S ALL A TRICK ON YOU!!!!!
Uncle Wilbur
Thanks for the info. Those fines were nothing compared to the wealth they accumulate by cheating the system. What did you mean by, “...was ordered to serve three years probation...”?
Let's not forget about Trey's regular appearances as a prosecutor of the 90's TV show "Forensic Files" .
6:10 - This was a sad moment for environmentally friendly Oregon. Tom McCall was rolling in his grave when those protesters showed up.

There's no polamanebearity! You're thinking of Manbearpig. Which is serioul.
I am surprised that President Chump hasn’t jumped aboard the Climate Change Wagon as he has properties near the coast all over the place
He doesn't care. He said he's not going to be around and it doesn't mean anything.
Trump's golf course in Scotland applied for building permits for seawalls to protect parts of the course from erosion due to rising seas. But that must be completely unrelated to climate change. I wonder what Trump will do when Mar A Lago is at sea level. It's pretty close to that now.

Eye opening
(0:51) "Employment Statistics Coming Up at 8:05 pm ET" I don't know why, but I'm curious what that report was like. I love watching videos from old VHS tapes that people used to record live TV back in the day. The commercials are especially fun to watch. But old news programs are interesting in that you get to see the things that people then were concerned about. It's the same reason I like reading old newspapers that were used as packing material in boxes that haven't been opened in a long time. It just fascinates me. :)
@Andi amo Oh, wow. See! Isn't that interesting! :D Yeah, your find was REALLY awesome, though! 1786? Man, that's a collector's item! I even like reading advertisements and classified ads in old papers. Wow. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
Prime example in how money from donors, sponsors, lobbyists etc can warp public opinion. Sure, it takes a gullible public to swallow more or less blatantly false information or phony science, but it is all the more easy to do it if you don't have to properly disclose where the money for all these ads, studies etc come from, who funds those lobbyists and campaigns, you has the politicians in their pocket.
Wow. They can't even truly agree to fight for the survival of the planet? That is disturbing and scary for many reasons.
