The Sean Hannity Show – Marc Morano from Switzerland reports on WEF summit in Davos – Broadcast live Jan 21, 2026
Rough Transcript:
Sean Hannity: Marc Morano, he’s actually in Davos right now, and he wrote the bestseller Great Reset, Global Elites and the Permanent Lockdown. He has written extensively about Al Gore’s lies. I mean, he’s peddled these lies and predictions in the specific timeframes that have come and gone, and he’s been proven wrong again and again. Why does anybody listen to him anymore?
Marc Morano: Well, first of all, that was an amazing rundown of all of al Gore’s predictions over the years, and it’s an incredible display of just he said, it’s not shrill, it’s not alarmism. Yes it is shrill. It is alarmism. It’s unscientific and inaccurate. And here’s the good news, Sean, this is the first Davos meeting that I’m aware of where Al Gore was completely irrelevant. He showed up at a Bloomberg forum. He started talking about the climate refugees, et cetera, et cetera, and guess what, no one paid attention.
They did a survey of the World Economic Forum members this year. Climate change has now dropped significantly in their rankings. Even the members who are attending aren’t even talking about it. The co-chair, Larry Fink, has now said that solar and wind can’t power AI data centers, that we need dispatchable fossil fuel power, or nuclear to do it. So the head of the World Economic Forum is now saying that basically the climate agenda is dead.
It gets worse. Bill Gates is now saying climate is not a catastrophe. Climate is not an emergency. We need to have human flourishing. And Al Gore, when he went to COP30 in Brazil, when I was down there last November, he spent his time attacking Bill Gates. So now you have two major climate figures — Al Gore and Bill Gates attacking each other. Gore said that Bill Gates was acting silly, and so that is where we are.
Al Gore is now isolated even among his own Davos crowd. That’s how shrill, that’s how alarmist, and that’s how irrelevant Al Gore has become today. And just having Donald Trump there today, just with the icing on the cake.
We actually had a counter World Economic Forum event in Switzerland, and we featured Liz Truss, the former UK Prime Minister, who spoke about how horrifying what’s happening to free speech in England is right now, and we had Vaclav Klaus, one of the earliest fighters of going against Al Gore and the UN agenda. So there are people trying to fight back. But the sad thing about Europe is they bought into this for so many decades.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick spoke today at the World Economic Forum. It was a mind-bending speech. It was amazing. He said, “Why would Europe outsource all of its energy to China and all these other countries when Europe does not even make batteries?” Why would they think that was a good idea?
So it was not only Donald Trump, there were other members of the administration. Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent was there, and they were just ripping new ones for Europe and the folly of this whole agenda. Now, the World Economic Forum hasn’t given up on the climate agenda completely. It’s gone underground. They had a Climate Hub there, and I’m not making this up. They had the car that was saving the climate on display on the main strip in Davos today, and it was no bigger than a lawnmower with a roof, and it barely held two people on a bench seat. And my first thought, I did a video of it, and I just said, very simply, Americans would be driving this car if it weren’t for Donald Trump. It’s kind of like, Europe would be speaking German if it weren’t for the United States. Donald Trump saved us from this agenda in a way that I don’t think any establishment figure or any other previous Republican nominee could have.
You mentioned NYC Mayor Mandami. He’s got a whole climate action plan for the state of New York. New York is about descend even harder into this climate nonsense. But even Kathy Hokul, the governor of New York, was forced to say she wanted reliable energy and she’s not going to meet the state’s climate goal. So she has environmentalists attacking her because she’s not meeting New York’s climate goals, because there’s outrage from the voters about their electric bills.
You have even Gavin Newsom begging refineries to stay in California after spending years trying to force them out. So that’s some hope. They can all do this rhetorically, but it’s going to be harder and harder for them to follow through on the climate policies, even in the United States, even in these blue states, although we have in Virginia, my home state, you have the new governor actually getting us back into the regional greenhouse gas regimes that is designed to raise energy prices make us more reliant on China.
So Donald Trump’s has his work cut out for him, but he has done the most by flipping the narrative. It’s amazing to see Lee Zeldin, the most consequential EPA chief in the agency’s history, and to see ing Chris Wright, the Energy Secretary in action has been great. They call it a scam, a cult of religion. That is so important for reframing the narrative because it makes it very difficult for climate to become an issue that people take seriously. Even the CNN poster, by the way Harry Enten said, concern about climate change in America has not been this low since the late 1980s. So Donald Trump has done amazing job reframing climate change.
Sean Hannity: What I love about him is he’s fearless and he goes out there and he just says what’s on his mind. What was the reaction in the room?
Marc Morano: It was amazing. I was in the American Pavilion, and Nigel Farage was there, and I saw Kellyanne Conway, and everyone was very happy and excited with the way Trump’s speech went. What he did was there was a masterclass in terms of ramping up all the expectations. There was a point at which I think it was the European News that reported that an effort, led by Macron, they were going to have an intervention for Donald Trump. Now this raised the specter of all these world leaders sitting around with a car waiting to take him off to some rehab. They were going to have an intervention with him because they were concerned about Greenland. But he came in, and it looks like we’re going to renegotiate the 1951 agreement so that it explicitly bans Russia and China from accessing Greenland’s resources. And I think Donald Trump’s going to do an incredible deal. It’s going to benefit Greenland, and probably Denmark and the United States as well. That’s the way he does it. So everyone was very happy with that. Everyone was very happy with his reasserting the folly of wind and solar and rejecting the net zero agenda.
He literally hijacked this entire week with his comments. And that is just incredible right there alone. I mean, normally it’s US presidents showing up and begging to be included, begging to go along with a net zero agenda, et cetera. But Trump just slipped the entire demolished meeting this year, and it was all about the United States. And I think they are just in shock. They don’t know how it happened as they were trying to do an intervention with the US president. It was like comical stuff that was happening today.
Sean Hannity: Marc Morano, get home safe. We appreciate you taking time from your trip to be with us and being there and watching what’s going on with these extreme world leaders that are clueless anyway. Thanks for being with us.
