Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed Thursday that being jeered by former Vice President Al Gore was the “greatest honor” he could have received from his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
“I mean, what’s better than Al Gore — incapable of discourse, incapable of anything,” Lutnick said on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
“And you all remember Al Gore told us, by today — in 2025 — the whole ice cap would be gone, and Greenland would be green.”
Lutnick, 64, made worldwide headlines during a panel discussion Tuesday by proclaiming that “globalization has failed the West” and America, specifically.
“It has left America behind. It has left the American workers behind,” the former Cantor Fitzgerald CEO said. “And what we are here to say is ‘America First’ is a different model, one that we encourage other countries to consider, which is that our workers come first.”
Lutnick rattled his audience further by criticizing European nations for pursuing green energy policies that would make them “subservient to China.”
“Why are you going to do solar and wind? Why would Europe agree to be net zero in 2030 when they don’t make a battery? They don’t make a battery,” he said.
On Thursday, Lutnick described the panel to host Jesse Watters as “basically a very left set of talks where someone said ‘We need a new form of capitalism,’ which I think is another way to say communism. And then they let me speak at the end.”
“And at the end of my talk,” the commerce secretary went on, “one person out of the 200 yelled out, ‘Boo!’ So I look over and I’m like, ‘Who booed?’ And it’s Al Gore! And I look at him, I go ‘Really?’ And he goes, ‘Boo.’

Low IQ Al Gore, left politics after his failed 2000 election and said to himself: “I am going to milk this new “global warming” fraud for $millions.”
lol! Algore is still around?! Petulant child

‘If I become President, I’ll put man made global warming in a lock box.’
LOVE Lutnick!!!
I remember Algore.
Al Gore??
He was the guy who wanted you to rub his chakra.
“LOVE Lutnick!!!”
The All-In podcast on Iheartradio recently had Lutnick as a guest for almost 90 minutes. It was highly informative and I enjoyed it very much.
Algore thought he would be the World’s first Trillionaire because of his Carbon Credit Scam
Back in her day, Hillary Clinton would fly coach to get attention.
Al Gore is a big fat loser who played a silly ‘liberal lie for profit’ for decades.
Seven mansions - all with pools? Flies private jets? Has any of that changed since he started this crap? Too worthless to Google.
Man Bear Pig big mad.
Does Algore know there’s still ice in the Arctic?
