Thank you, Senator Whitehouse. 😊
Thank you, Sir. With the nightmare that is our current Congress, the corruption of scotus, the War on Women, and the attacks on the LGBTQ+ community, the few in Washington who provide sensible and serious work are very much appreciated.
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse! I hope you run for President someday!
I hope he wins.
This is what bravery looks like in our Home of The Brave.
Thank you, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse.
Absolutely.
Much Aloha to Sen. Whitehouse - keep fighting for us, and the planet.
❤
Whitehouse is the BEST!!!
Thank you Senator Whitehouse! Shine the light for our democracy. 🙏💙🇺🇸
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse.
Always had much respect for him 😊
WOW!! Thank you Senator Whitehouse!! 👏👏👏
I love Sheldon Whitehouse! Honest and Forthright! Wish the right would open up their minds and stop plotting against us, we, the people !!!
No minds to open on that end.
@@timd4524Truth right there. 👈
Seems like most of them "FORGOT, WHO WE THE PEOPLE ARE". VERY SAD.
So, VOTE BLUE!!!
I hope there is a high school senior who sees this gentleman from Rhode Island and sees in him an inspiration and dedication for our future fight. Big money is killing our conscience, our government, and our planet.
Super well said
Hopefully, free and fair elections will still be a thing then.
I agree 100%.
Christopher! Thank you!
Senator Whitehouse is the kind of statesman that all our representatives should be.
NEVER VOTE REPUBLICAN AGAIN
EVER! If it was up to me? The red hate states wouldn't get a dime of federal money! Why save them when they HATE America! 😡
he needs to run for President
Please know we are with you, we appreciate you more than we can possibly express, we are out here working on the same issues. Don’t stop. Keep fighting.
It's always a hopeful joy, to hear from you Senator Whitehouse! I certainly agree with your views:)) So glad you are working for our country and calling out the Dark money groups!
One of the few, the honest, the brave. Look, look a real adult man, talking.
Never give up your work truth is there a biggest fear ✝️🛐🇺🇸
When you wonder why your home insurance keeps going UP UP UP, THIS IS WHY
Thank you Senator Whitehouse and other brave democrats speaking truth to power. We will prevail through these days of shadows into light.
Dear Sen. Whitehouse, I sincerely thank and congratulate you for the serious and essential work you do, from this work on the dangers of fossil fuels to exposing the corruption of SCJs Alito and Thomas. I wish all elected congressional representatives had the integrity you exhibit. Keep up the good work.
I can't believe that the water from my faucet will be too contaminated to drink or use for cooking. But apparently it's true. All due to corporate greed.
Senator Whitehouse is an honorable and serious statesman working to keep our nation great. He is working to clean up the corruption in the SCOTUS as well. Thank you, sir.
Thank you Senator White House that's being brave fighting for the people we love that thank you...
750 billion would fund food, housing, medical care in true democracies, this capitalocracy is devastating.
I spent my career building and repairing oil refineries before I knew what damage they caused. But I do know we have the ability to clean the air long before this! The uneven regulations let me watching Coal smoke billowing up in the air in the state next door to us while we were forced by the state EPA to install climate saving devices! It also doesn't help when the Auto industry is pushing out monster vehicles that get less than 20 miles to a gallon! We seem to be in a rush to a national suicide singing and dancing along the way!
No life matters only money
Thank you for your work on climate change.
Why don't we hear more of this?
Just like the tobacco companies fighting the cancer issues for decades, same playbook with far more dire consequences.
Vote Blue 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙😁🙏🏽✌️🫶
Thank you Captain Planet! Gooooo PLANET! :)
You give me hope. Thank you for all of your research and efforts.
Imagine that oil&coal companies have known about the serious climate changes since the 1950's and did all they could to bury the truth to keep making money 💰!
All Oil & Gas Companies Need To Be Charged With Crimes Against Humanity!
"Silent Spring". It's still true.
They make record profits, and we still subsidize them. Is that crazy or what.
Exactly
Sickening, isn't it! 😠
Get rid of lobbyist & campaign contributions. Maybe than politicians would do what is best instead of holding out their hand for cash
Finally! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you sir.
We appreciate the truth you say !!! Thank you Senator Whitehouse !!
Brass balls, I love it. :)
Senator Whitehouse, we are deeply grateful for your determination in finding the TRUTH in regards to CLIMATE HANGE.
This is what government is supposed to do.
I DARE any republican congress member to do anything like this to help the planet.
They're too busy trying to overthrow the government! 🤬
CITIZENS UNITED NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR CRIMINALLY ALLOWING CORPORATIONS TOO HAVE A VOICE & CAN LOBBY FOR THEIR PROGRAMS. THE SAME FOR FOSSEL FUEL INDUSTRY WAS ALSO GIVEN A VOICE. THESE INDUSTRIES THAT ARE A PRIVATE BUSINESSNESS THAT CONTINUALLY GIVE THEMSELVES RAISES BY THEIR OWN PRIVE BOARD OF DIRECTORS & NO OUTSIDE INPUT BY ANYONE. THIS IS WRONG!
This is a direct result of trickle down. Companies run this country and own must all politicians and people vote for their now demise. We will be losing our right to vote soon. Women will not be allowed to drive. The supreme court is bought and paid for and set for the next 35-45 years. Two stolen judges. We need middle ground politicians not extreme on both sides
We need to have the GOAL of overturning and removing Citizens United!! That was a SCAM on the people. It MUST GO. It will kill our Democracy.
Bravo Senator! You are a hero amongst the denials and chaos. Kindest thanks!
Billionaires WANT, WANT & WANT. HOW MUCH IS TO MUCH? SAD 😔
Thanks for all you do. Please share your recipe for "Making a difference" with the members who would rather not. The money motivation is crazy when most have more than they can ever use or need in this business.
That young gentleman behind you was so rude. Thank you senator for your diligence.

In 40 years geography will show the bottom half of Florida underwater. Same thing is happening with electric cars. They say they can't charge themselves because the electricity is used for the mechanics of the engine, trying to avoid the fact that an alternator is a mechanical motor that also runs off electricity. So they still got people attached to a pump, although it is actually an electric company.
Go Whitehouse go
Save America From Israel 🖐️
Whitehouse for the White House
Insurance companies are bailing out of home owners Insurance
To ignore climate change over monetary compensation is a death sentence for all of humanity. It is illogical and evil behavior against all peoples of our earth. Only the people can make the changes necessary for our own survival. When we're presented with heroes showing integrity and the drive for true prosperity of the people, we need to recognize it and stand united. Thank you all who've strived for good. It is what you leave behind that is most important. Peace and friendship to all.
Dearest Senator Sheldon Whitehouse,
Always nice getting a chance at watching your vids!

...Still have my nose to the pavement, putting all I am and can into our Campaign; still a (1)-member Board with (2) Hubbys willing as betrothed (and most definitively my current beau I've been in a long-distance relationship with for almost a year and a half; I absolutely consider Him my husband);
but,
I can't help but be terrified things will remain consecutively the way they are and always have been if I am not elected into power: worse, and worse, and worse...
Anyways,
thank you so very much, as always! And, I hope you don't mind the self-promoting!

Whitehouse for Whitehouse 2028...
He prefers to discuss OPEC instead of AIPAC. This is no coincidence.
$78 BILLION in destruction, lost property, and lost economic activities across ten states.... From one single storm system in 2023...
Senator Sheldon. If the young man with the scruffy beard seating behind You on Your left is a member of Your Staff? I suggest He settle down and, at the minimum, act like He is Listening. Perhaps too much coffee but definitely too little professionalism jimmy
another average* performance by Senator Whitehouse . . . keep it up, my children and grandchildren will have to live in the future world.
* of course, his batting average is 1000
We can only pray and do our best efforts for justice against climate change deniers and petroleum oligarchs that know climate change is real, but disinform and profit from our destruction.
I can only hope we get enough democrats into Congress to make a difference in climate change legislation.
What's the solution? How do you pull the teeth of an industry that owns a majority of our economy and our elected officials?
Nationalize the fossil fuel industry and all private energy production into the DoE like the nuclear energy is? 2:43
Can we get rid of the taxpayer drundge that is Senator Grassley.
Don't forget oil companies are using detrimental sonic booms to find ocean oil and killing whales and dolphins
Dat dude is full of it.
Stop burning our forest oh yeah stop bombing
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, The biggest economic impact to the United States is the one that grants Congress the authority to issue an income tax without having to determine it based on population called the 16th Amendment. This makes way for a runaway Congress to spend itself into oblivion. The WSJ states quotes, "What is it going to take for the Senate Budget Committee chairman to realize there’s a problem with the federal budget?"
Wont change anything, we are screwed.
Unless voters change their priorities and stop electing morons and corrupt conservatives up and down ballots. Senators like Sheldon Whitehouse and the Democratic members in the upper chamber could use the help. So you’re right, NOTHING will change if WE don’t change. 👈
Vote blue, it will help.
Yup because when the dems had the house, senate and oval office everything got fixed. You know women got their rights back, medical privacy was returned to people in general and kids got free meals at lunch again. No wait none of that happened. 😕
YOU ARE DOING A GREAT JOB ON ALL THE CORRUPTION THAT IS HAPPENING BY BAD ACTORS!! BUT THEY NEED MUCH HARDER SENTENCES THEN WHAT SOME OF THEM ARE GETTING!!! SO AT LEAST YOU AND OTHERS ARE EXPOSEING WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE!! I THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I KNOW THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO AS WELL!!!!!
This man needs a bigger microphone.
Whitehouse for the White House!!!
If fossil fuels are so good, why are there $750,000,000,000 in subsidies?
What a DOPE! Tell everyone about your GAS powered cars. You were & still are an EMBARASSMENT TO THE STATE OF R.I. 😂
Thank you, Senator Whitehouse. May you have a long history in the Senate that benefitsvall Americans.
