Al Gore Heckles and Boos Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick at Davos Dinner

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was heckled by former Vice President Al Gore during a World Economic Forum (WEF) event in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday, according to news coverage.

Gore booed Lutnick while the Commerce secretary was giving a speech at an invite-only dinner event hosted by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Mediaite reported on Wednesday. The report comes after Lutnick criticized Europe during his remarks, which prompted European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde to suddenly leave the dinner event, multiple outlets reported.

“I sat and listened to his remarks,” Gore said Wednesday in a statement provided to Mediaite. “I didn’t interrupt him in any way. It’s no secret that I think this administration’s energy policy is insane.”

“And at the end of his speech I reacted with how I felt, and so did several others,” Gore continued.

The WEF and a representative for Gore each did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

“During Secretary Lutnick’s three-minute speech, no one left hastily,” a Commerce Department spokesperson told the DCNF in a statement on Wednesday. “Only one person booed, and it was Al Gore.”

Moreover, Fox Business Network Senior Correspondent Charles Gasparino wrote in a Wednesday X post that he was told by a “reliable” anonymous source that “at the dinner Lagarde walked out BEFORE [Lutnick’s] speech and was tired like everyone is at Davos.”

Lutnick claimed in an op-ed published by the Financial Times on Tuesday that the Trump administration was “not going to Davos to uphold the status quo,” but instead was going “to confront it head-on.”

“For far too long, the fate of the global economy has been decided by an international establishment who took America’s economic power and gave it to the rest of the world,” Lutnick wrote. “Some of our past leaders believed the lies that offshoring was necessary, borders were not, and our national interest needed to submit to global lower cost of labour for the common good. That approach failed the US, crushed American workers and ripped apart most of the rest of the world as well. It destroyed industries, weakened supply chains and left working people in most western countries behind.”

Gore suggested Wednesday that U.S. government policy should promote “regenerative agriculture” during a panel discussion at the WEF. Gore added that the U.S. needs “policies that [are] in recognition of the fact that governments around the world typically do subsidize farming, but don’t subsidize them in ways that incentivize them to go in the wrong direction, but incentivize them to go in the right direction.”

Gore, the failed 2000 Democratic presidential nominee, is the cofounder and chairman of Generation Investment Management, and also the founder and chairman of The Climate Reality Project, a nonprofit organization which aims to combat the “climate crisis,” according to a biography on his website.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/watch-trump-tells-world-economic-forum-2020-election/

President Trump, on Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, said that prosecutions for the stolen 2020 election are incoming.

Trump gave a phenomenal speech in Davos, championing Nationalism and national sovereignty and rebuking Europe’s globalist policies of unvetted mass migration.

“Certain places in Europe are not even recognizable, frankly, anymore. They’re not recognizable,” Trump said. “Many parts of our world are being destroyed before our very eyes, and the leaders don’t even understand what’s happening, and the ones that do understand aren’t doing anything about it. ” Continue…

‘Nobody Else Has It’: Trump Confirms Mysterious US ‘Sonic Weapon’ Used During Capture of Venezuela’s Maduro

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/nobody-else-has-it-trump-confirms-mysterious-us/

A ‘secret’ weapon was used in Caracas Op, Trump confirms.

On January 3, US special operators realized a jaw-dropping operation that neutralized air defense over the Venezuelan capital, Caracas, and invaded the heavily guarded presidential palace of Miraflores, extracting dictator Nicolas Maduro and his wife, taking them back to New York to stand trial.

In the raid, dozens of Cuban and Venezuelan guards were killed, while the US suffered no fatalities.

One of the most mysterious aspects of the operation, which US President Donald J. Trump has now confirmed, is that US special forces are said to have used a ‘secret sonic weapon’ during the daring capture of Maduro.

WATCH LIVE: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith Attempts to Defend Trump Investigations in First Public Testimony Before Congress – Start Time at 10 AM ET

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/01/watch-live-jack-smith-testifies-before-congress/

Former special counsel Jack Smith will sit for testimony before the House Judiciary Committee this morning as House Judiciary Republicans probe his efforts to interfere with President Trump’s 2024 election.

In June 2023, Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate, which was protected by Secret Service agents.

In a separate case in Washington DC, Jack Smith indicted Trump on four counts: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Smith will reportedly defend his investigation and continue the lie that Trump committed a crime by saying the 2020 election was stolen.

During previous closed door testimony, Smith said Trump did not have a First Amendment right to question the election.

Alberta Sees Large Turnout For Petition To Separate From Canada

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/alberta-sees-large-turnout-petition-separate-canada

Crowds of Canadian citizens stood in long lines across Alberta for hours this week to sign a petition for a referendum on leaving Canada - officially titled "A Referendum Relating to Alberta Independence." The petition requires at least 177,000 signatures in order to trigger the referendum, which would ultimately decide if the province will separate.

Petitions have 120 days to collect the signatures needed. Pro-separation groups say they could get as many as 1 million signatures, which would be a clear indication that Alberta will leave Canada. Alberta's population is currently 5 million people.

Some petition locations reported as many as 10,000 signatures in a day and the public response is described as "concerning" by critics who want to remain part of Canada's "constitutional monarchy." Alberta is widely considered the most conservative province in the country and has been at odds with the far-left Canadian government (ruled by Ontario progressives).

The referendum would mean a simply Yes/No question for voters on separation. A majority (51% or more) would then lead to a legal process overseen by the Canadian federal government. Come polls indicate that 60% of Albertan citizens are still opposed to the measure, however, the recent turnout for the petition suggests the tide is turning. Recent conflicts with progressive elites in the Canadian government have driven Albertans to question their relationship. Continue…

Zelensky Blasts Europe's Inaction, Paralysis As Greenland Sideshow Consumes Attention

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/zelensky-blasts-europes-inaction-paralysis-greenland-sideshow-consumes-attention

"Europe loves to discuss the future but avoids taking action today." As Bloomberg has described it, a visibly angry Zelensky Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky tore into European leaders at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday. "Where is the line of leaders who are ready to act?" he questioned.

Highlighting that his own capital is in the midst of a power and water crisis after nightly Russian bombardment, Zelensky shamed European capitals for being unwilling to stop Putin, now nearly four years into the war. This included emphasis on the failed push to outright seize frozen Russian assets in Europe. Is he taking a page from Trump's playbook, taking the opportunity to blame and lash out at Europe? The talk had themes of a fragmented Europe which looks lost in the face of much stronger and more decisive US power and Trump's demands. Continue…

How Canada's Only Leverage Over America Disappeared In An Instant

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/how-canadas-only-leverage-over-america-disappeared-instant

I’d like to talk today about the recent events in Venezuela, specifically from an economic point of view, and who are the real winners and losers.

Let’s start with the obvious. The Venezuela operation is a win for America and the Venezuelan people. American consumers and businesses will benefit from lower prices while oil companies have a chance for bigger profits.

Venezuelans will benefit from increased investment, jobs, and profits in their country as well. This is why their stock market jumped 50, 60, 70, 80 percent after the U.S. takeover.

And if we recall that economic security is national security, then the new order in South America also simultaneously supports U.S. national security while undermining our greatest rival, China. In war, dependable access to oil is as important as dependable access to kinetic arms.

Access to ample, reliable flows of oil represents a key strategic interest. Removing one such flow from the Chinese sphere of influence and bringing it into our own is tremendous progress toward this goal. But the biggest loser of all isn’t China or Russia, it’s Canada. Continue…

Canada PM Mark Carney Trashes U.S. at Davos After Selling Out in Beijing

https://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2026/01/21/canada-pm-mark-carney-trashes-u-s-at-davos-after-selling-out-in-beijing/

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, fresh from toadying to the Communist dictatorship of China, slammed the United States in his address to the globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland on Tuesday.

Carney, whose extensive business ties to China were overlooked by Canadian voters in his run for prime minister, traveled to Beijing last week for an obsequious meeting with dictator Xi Jinping. Ostensibly eager to prove that Canada doesn’t have to rely on American trade, Carney abandoned Canada’s protections against Chinese electric vehicle (EV) dumping and agreed to swallow his criticisms of China’s human rights abuses to cut deals with a country he formerly described as the greatest threat to Canadian national security.
