Electric car commercial inadvertently highlights stupidity of electric cars

October 31, 2011
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

Since they’re playing this every twelve seconds during my Sunday NFL viewing, I just can’t resist pointing out the complete stupidity of this Nissan Leaf commercial.

If you don’t have time to watch the video, basically it imagines a world where everything runs on gas.  Like your alarm clock, computer, iPod—etc.  Everything runs like a chainsaw or a lawnmower and spits exhaust fumes all over the office/bedroom etc.  It’s really well done—and it’s probably an effective ad.  Good for Nissan---if they can screw with the dolts who might buy this car with creative advertising—more power to them.

The message of the ad is that gas is dirty and evil, and the Nissan Leaf is clean and saintly because it runs on electricity.  But, does anyone actually stop and think where electricity comes from???  You’re supposed to think those “other cars” are dirty because they run on fossil fuels, but the Nissan Leaf runs on wonderful clean electricity!  (Don't think about the fact that electricity is mainly generated mainly from FOSSIL FUELS.)

What kind of world do we live in that this sort of commercial can connect with people??  “Those guys are bad—they use gas.  We’re good because we use...coal”??????  The irony of it all is that most of the things that the commercial parodies as being powered by fossil fuels –alarm clocks, computers, ipods, etc—ACTUALLY ARE POWERED BY FOSSIL FUELS.

The plug is not a magical electricity-generating hole in the wall.  It’s your way to access coal, natural gas, and (emission free, but still vilified) nuclear power.

This year, Nissan will sell about a million vehicles---approximately 99.1% of them will run on gasoline.   So—why are they vilifying fossil fuels?  They might want to stop for a second and note that their entire business is based on them.

Ezra Levant: Police at Canadian church are forcing Christians UNDERGROUND

After imprisoning a pastor for refusing to follow COVID-19 restrictions, Canadian officials barricaded his church. And when some church members retaliated by tearing down part of the fence, Canadian Mounties arrived in riot gear.

Rebel News Founder Ezra Levant joined Glenn Beck on the radio program to give his insight on the crazy situation. He described the new, armed police presence surrounding GraceLife Church in Edmonton, Alberta, and how it not only encouraged hundreds of protesters to stand with the church in support but forced congregation members underground to worship as well.

What's happening is eerily similar to what occurs everyday in China, Levant says, and it must stop. Who would have thought this type of tyranny would be so close to home?

Watch the video below to hear Ezra describe the religious persecution taking place in Canada.

Did Joe Biden tell America to stop praying?

Enough prayers? Why is supposed Catholic Joe Biden suggesting that Congress ought to stop praying for after someone commits acts of gun violence?

On Friday, Stu Burguiere and Pat Gray filled in for Glenn and discussed President Joe Biden's remarks during his speech on gun control. "Enough prayers. Time for some action," Biden said. Stu and Pat were surprised how dismissive Biden appeared to be on the idea of prayer.

WATCH this pastor chase 'communist' cops out of his church: 'Gestapo is not allowed here!'

Just days after Canadian pastor James Coates was released from prison for refusing to bow to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions, several police officers showed up at another church to ensure restrictions were being followed. But Polish pastor Artur Pawlowski of the Cave of Adullam Church in Alberta, Canada, knew his rights, telling the cops not to come back until they had a warrant in hand.

Filling in for Glenn Beck on the radio program this week, Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere played a video of the interaction.

"Please get out. Please get out of this property immediately. Get out!" Pawlowski can be heard yelling at the six officers who entered his church.

"Out! Out! Out! Get out of this property immediately until you come back with a warrant," he continued. "Go out and don't come back. I don't want to talk to you. You Nazis, Gestapo is not allowed here! ... Nazis are not welcome here! Do not come back you Nazi psychopaths. Unbelievable sick, evil people. Intimidating people in a church during the Passover! You Gestapo, Nazi, communist fascists! Don't you dare come back here!"

'Our children don't stand a chance': Glenn Beck EXPOSES how radical Marxism is infiltrating our kids' schools

One of the most dangerous existential threats to the United States is Critical Race Theory, or CRT. As Glenn Beck has exposed over the past year, CRT is gaining momentum and has been preached in our universities for a while now.

Then last August, leaked documents revealed that Marxism, activist ideology of Black Lives Matter, is making its way into grade school classrooms across the country. And since then, things have only gotten more intense.

On next week's Wednesday night special, Glenn will expose the new ways progressives are systematically indoctrinating our kids and culture with this dangerous ideology. But first, it's crucial that you know what your kids may already be learning.

"What I'm about to show you is just the beginning," Glenn said, introducing the leaked documents.

"I found it shocking that Black Lives Matter supporters have developed lesson plans that start from preschool all the way up to the 12th grade," he continued. "Do you know the money it would take to tailor things ... and get it out to the schools and the unions for each age, to be able to brainwash the kids on Marxism and how to destroy capitalism by using race, sexual orientation, and gender?

"Our children don't stand a chance," Glenn added later. "They're not being taught anything except how to be radical activists. What the hell has happened?"
