| 0:00.0 | I do want to ask about, because the documentary you mentioned there is Earth's Greatest Enemy. |
| 0:05.4 | And I have always known, well, I don't want to say known, because it's one of those things that someone told me once and that sounded really true. |
| 0:12.6 | And then I saw other people repeat it and I'm like, that really does seem true. |
| 0:15.8 | Just became dog. |
| 0:16.5 | But like the U.S. military is like the biggest polluter in the world, right? |
| 0:21.3 | Correct. |
| 0:22.2 | How is that possible? Okay. So people will be like, well, what about China? And it's like, okay, if we're just talking about emissions, yes, China emits more. But you cannot look at China and Iceland. And we're also not talking about nation states, right? But I'm just saying this is like the main debunking |
| 0:37.8 | is people will come at you and be like, |
| 0:40.1 | it's minuscule compared to in like industries like the |

| 1:03.8 | So none of it's in a vacuum. But if you're looking at just the military as an institution, |
| 1:08.7 | you can't even compare it to oil corporations, because oil corporations have an army. That army is the military as an institution. You can't even compare it to oil corporations because oil corporations |
| 1:12.4 | have an army. That army is the military. Our military imposes this fossil-filled infrastructure at the |
| 1:19.8 | barrel of a gun, and it is basically the force that subjugates and forces countries to |
| 1:26.2 | bow to the dictates of global capitalism. So it's the |
| 1:29.2 | enforcement arm of capitalism. And so when you look at just the pollution, that statistic that we hear |
| 1:34.5 | like the U.S. military is the world's largest polluter, that's literally just the oil purchases on paper |
| 1:38.6 | that they were trying to hide for the longest time. That's 270,000 barrels of oil a day, |
