1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,720 Speaker 1: As long as we're on the topic of how to 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: pronounce things, is it Caribbean or caribbean? These are half 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: pin balle hinges with the right leaverage the proper application 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,800 Speaker 1: of strength the door Aliffrey, What. 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 2: Makes you think Bob Boks World give up a shipped 6 00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 2: to you? 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 3: Lets you say it's a massive leaverage? 8 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 2: There you go, There we go. They can always come 9 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 2: through Caribbean, Caribbean, Caribbean potato tomato. It's fine, yeah, Caribbean. 10 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 4: So let's go back to the Saudi Festival, the re 11 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 4: odd Comedy Festival, as I said, it's still ongoing, goes 12 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 4: through next week I think next Thursday sometime. Fifty of 13 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 4: the world's top comedians. They didn't invite Dragon. I don't 14 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 4: know why. And it's all part of Prince NBS's vision 15 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 4: twenty thirty. Everything's twenty thirty Juenda twenty thirty. I mean, 16 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 4: it's crazy. So all these comedians of international renown are 17 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 4: performing their stand up satire sketch, they're doing improv. The 18 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 4: contracts imposed certain limitations. The comedians reportedly agreed not to 19 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 4: make jokes about the Saudi royal family and not to 20 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 4: make fun of Islam. Now, some attendees such as Tim Dilley, 21 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 4: Dylan and Namesh Patel. Do you know, I don't know 22 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 4: who Namesh Patel is. I didn't look him up. They 23 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 4: declined or they were removed from the list due to 24 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 4: either prior remarks or ethical objections regarding the Saudi policies. 25 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,920 Speaker 4: The Saudi attendees were obviously enthusiastic. I mean, obviously do 26 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 4: you find irony and novelty in political satire in a 27 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 4: country where you really can't engage in political satire, particularly 28 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 4: when that political satire targeted the United States on Saudi soil. 29 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 4: But there's some human rights groups and some comics across 30 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 4: the festival and participants that are being accused of whitewashing 31 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 4: or so called art washing, and they're accused of whitewashing 32 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia's reputation by noting that the regimes continued harsh 33 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 4: cracked down on dissent continues. They're the murder of Kashogi, 34 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 4: that so called journalists that occasionally wrote something for the 35 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 4: Washington Post, and their ongoing human rights violations. I get 36 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 4: that Prince mbn NBS is trying to modernize the country, 37 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 4: but they ain't quite there yet. Now central theme among 38 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 4: the comedians that performed, which is exemplified by Chappelle's stand up, 39 00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 4: was somehow perceived great. It was the perceid of greater 40 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 4: freedom to speak and read compared to current US debates 41 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 4: over cancel culture. At the same time, observers wanted to 42 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 4: highlight the deep contradiction and comedians advocating for free speech 43 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 4: while performing in a country where genuine political dissent carries 44 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 4: very great consequences. Now, there were some comedians and some 45 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 4: advocacy groups that called for the performers to use their 46 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: platform to actually address abuses by the Saudi royal family, 47 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 4: or to boycott and protest. But the critics contend that 48 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 4: the government uses these festivals to try to deflect scrutiny 49 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 4: from its repression of free speech and other rights. But 50 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: let's shift gears, and I want to go back to 51 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 4: Chappelle for a moment. As I said, he's addressing an 52 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 4: audience of six thousand people, and he joked right now, 53 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,440 Speaker 4: in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie 54 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 4: Kirk that you'll get canceled. And I don't know if 55 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: that's true, but I'm going to find out, and then 56 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 4: added very pointedly, it's easier to talk here than it 57 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 4: is in America. But that's not where he stopped. He 58 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 4: mused about his own reputation, according to The New York Times, 59 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 4: saying that when he gets back home, he fears, quote, 60 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 4: They're going to do something to me so that I 61 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 4: can't say what I want to say. But here's where 62 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 4: it gets controversial, and that is he's telling these jokes, 63 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 4: and the jokes themselves are not coming under fire, but 64 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 4: they're coming under fire for being held in a country 65 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 4: widely criticized for human rights violations and an oppressive regime. 66 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 5: Now. 67 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 4: Comedian Bill Burr, who also performed at the festival, took 68 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 4: a different tact on his podcast eff Opening Night This 69 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 4: is According to Variety magazine, Burr said, quote, it it 70 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 4: was great to expe verience that part of the world 71 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 4: and to be a part of the first comedy festival 72 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,559 Speaker 4: festival over there in Saudi Arabia. The royals loved the show. 73 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 4: Everyone was happy. The people that were doing the festival 74 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 4: were thrilled. The comedians that I've been talking to are saying, Dude, 75 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 4: you can feel the audience wanted it. They want to 76 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 4: see real stand up comedy clothes quote. He goes on 77 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 4: to talk about how it was a mind blowing experience. 78 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 4: In fact, he says it was definitely top one of 79 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: the top three experiences he's had as a comic. And 80 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 4: then it's somehow going to lead to a lot of 81 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 4: positive things. So while the laughs might be loud and 82 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 4: the headline's even louder, the re Comedy Festival is it's 83 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 4: more than just obviously a blockbuster cultural event for the Saudis. 84 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 4: It's really a flashpoint for debates about free speech, artistic freedom, 85 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 4: and the unintended consequences of crossing cultural and political lines 86 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 4: in pursuit of global you know, entertainment. But why is 87 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 4: it that Chappelle has to prostrate himself before the Saudis, 88 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 4: Because even if you take the money from the Sadis, 89 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 4: you don't have to am my Vernac. 90 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 2: You know, you don't have to nine to eleven your friends. 91 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 4: Dave Chappelle when he talks about it's easier to talk 92 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 4: here than it is in America, do you know that 93 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 4: Saudi law makes it illegal to challenge, either directly or indirectly, 94 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 4: the religion or the justice of the king or the 95 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 4: crown Prince what's also illegal is this any attempt to 96 00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 4: cast doubts on the fundamentals of Islam. Now you can 97 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,239 Speaker 4: find screenshots of the contract the comedians were apparently asked 98 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 4: to sign that barred them from saying anything derogatory about 99 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 4: Saudi Arabia or the royal family, or to even make 100 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 4: a joke about Islam. Chappelle said, if you've ever watched Chappelle, 101 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 4: he has this kind of creepy, conspiratorial audience whisper, which 102 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 4: is kind of funny in of itself, and I would 103 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 4: say it's probably one of his trademarks. It's got to 104 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 4: be something I would never say in practice. So if 105 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 4: I actually say it, you'll know never to listen to 106 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 4: anything else I say after that. And here's the phrase, 107 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 4: I stand with Israel. Nice Chappelle, enjoy your stupid freedoms. 108 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 4: Will not enjoy your stupid freedom. Let me rephrase that, Hey, stupid, 109 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 4: enjoy your freedoms. I why do you have to diss 110 00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 4: or why do you have to try to? I mean, 111 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: I haven't seen it. I have to confess I've not 112 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 4: seen the skit. I've not seen his routine. 113 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: There. 114 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 4: Oh, I'm sure that they got something in the contract 115 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 4: allowed him to make an HBO special out of it, 116 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 4: and if he does, I'll probably watch it because I 117 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 4: just I like to watch Chappelle. I guess he does. 118 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 4: He walks up to the line and like people that 119 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 4: walked up to the line, but probably less controversial than Chappelle, 120 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: at least in Saudi Arabia. It was Kevin Hart, who 121 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 4: might be I don't know, maybe the world's great to 122 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 4: sell out. I love what y'all are doing here. I'll 123 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 4: continue being a positive ambassador of your change to the world. 124 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 4: With that, the positive ambassador of T Mobile, the cell 125 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 4: phone company, and Capitol One the credit card company, went 126 00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,239 Speaker 4: back to his hotel suite. 127 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: To wallowing this pile of gold. I just find it. 128 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 2: They're free to go to what they want to, don't 129 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 2: get me wrong. 130 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 4: They're free to go to Saudi Arabe and they're free 131 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 4: to say whatever they want to say, and they're free 132 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 4: to go out and to diss the lack of free 133 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: speech in America. I don't want to rehash and relitigate 134 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 4: everything about what people said that was so derogatory about 135 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk that it got them suspended or fired or 136 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 4: in trouble or deplatformed or whatever. 137 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 2: But it had nothing to do with free speech. 138 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 4: It had to do with companies making a decision that 139 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 4: what you say or do does not reflect well on us, 140 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 4: and we have a right to make to care for 141 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 4: our corporate image. 142 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: So you're out of here. 143 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 4: You can go say what you want to say, but 144 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 4: you can't say it as an employee of this company. 145 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:03,160 Speaker 4: It drives me nuts continued conflation of the First Amendment 146 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 4: and the right of the private sector to limit speech. 147 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 4: We should always think about the real purpose of the 148 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,560 Speaker 4: First Amendment, and that is to enable us. I know, 149 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,719 Speaker 4: culturally it's that we have an inherent God given right 150 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 4: to speak our minds. But it's also that Congress shall 151 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,160 Speaker 4: make no law abridging the right of free speech that 152 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 4: the government cannot do that. And then yet Chappelle and 153 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,560 Speaker 4: Kevin Hart and the rest of them go to a 154 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 4: country where it is actually illegal to criticize not just 155 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 4: the government, but to criticize the state sanctioned the theocracy 156 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 4: that is Islam that rules that nation, or the people 157 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 4: that implement their version of Islam in that country. You 158 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 4: cannot criticize that. Yet you will diss us about a 159 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 4: misunderstanding of free speech and go to a country and 160 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 4: collect here hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars 161 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 4: and criticize us in a country where you have contractually 162 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 4: agreed not to say things. Drives me crazy. And I 163 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 4: think it's and in many ways it is. It is 164 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 4: nine to eleven the people of America, because yes, the 165 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 4: Saudis knew about. 166 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: Nine to eleven. 167 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 4: Now that doesn't mean that I'm opposed to trying to 168 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 4: help the Saudis. And I'm in favor of the Abraham Accords, 169 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 4: and I'm in favor of, you know, whatever agreements we 170 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 4: can make, and I think it is important to have 171 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 4: relationships with the Saudis, But doesn't mean you have to 172 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: act that way when you go as an American citizen. 173 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 4: Venezuelan's government no segue here, of course. 174 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: No segway best segue. 175 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 4: Vezuela's government slammed what it called the illegal incursion Thursday 176 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 4: by US fighter Jim into an area under Venezuelan air 177 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 4: traffic control, and of course Venezuela is now accusing the 178 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 4: United States of a provoc provocation that threatens national sovereignty. Well, 179 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 4: if there was if there was some space, if there 180 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 4: was some delineation between the Narco terrorists and Nicholas Maduro 181 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 4: and the Venezuelan government. I might say, well, you at 182 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 4: least have an argument, but you don't have an argument 183 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: here because the Venezuelan government the Narco terrorists are all 184 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 4: one and the same. They feed off each other, and 185 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 4: they need each other. They're operating as one single unit. 186 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 4: The Venezuelan Foreign end Defense Ministry said the planes were 187 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: detected seventy five kilometers from our shores. But what they 188 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 4: didn't say was whether or not that violated Venezuelan air space, 189 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 4: and I don't think that it did. Their defense minister, 190 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 4: some guy named Pedrino, claim that five US fighter jets 191 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 4: had dared to approach the Venezuelan coast been detected by 192 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,679 Speaker 4: air fences in the tracking systems at the Maqueisha International Airport, 193 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 4: which serves Caracas. In their joint statement, the Defense and 194 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 4: Economic ministries accused the US of spouting international law and 195 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 4: jeopardizing civil aviation in the Caribbean Sea. Well, that's interesting, 196 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 4: considering that we've seen all these cigarette boats, speedboats coming 197 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 4: out across the Caribbean or the Caribbean and trying to 198 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 4: bring drugs in this country, and of course we've seen 199 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 4: the hilarious I'm sorry, it is hilarious black and white 200 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 4: footage of those narco terrorists bringing all the illicit drugs 201 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,840 Speaker 4: into this country and his boom disappear from the water. 202 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 4: Trump just a few days ago last month dispatched ten 203 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 4: thirty five aircraft Puerto Rico. That's probably the biggest military 204 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 4: deployment in the area and I don't know twenty thirty years. 205 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 4: He has sent eight warships, eight new submarines of the region, 206 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 4: all operation to fight the drug trafficking crossing the Caribbean 207 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 4: into the United States. And don't get me wrong, I'm 208 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 4: all for that, and I think that's another example of 209 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 4: how we need to stop we stop the full of 210 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 4: the illegal aliens. If we can stop or minimize the 211 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 4: flood of illegal drugs in the country, then I'm all 212 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 4: for that too. But I can't help. But at the 213 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 4: same time, question and I don't know the answer. I'm 214 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 4: just questioning out loud, if we're sending that much personnel 215 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 4: and equipment into the Caribbean to fight Venezuela or to 216 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 4: fight the narco terrace, which is Veniva again one of 217 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: the same. What is that done to our presence in 218 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 4: the Middle East? What has that done to our presence 219 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 4: and in the Indo Pacific. 220 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: Now, I don't know. 221 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 4: Maybe it didn't do anything again because I'm not privy 222 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 4: to exactly what's where and how much we have anymore, 223 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 4: but it does worry me. So Maduro is accusing us 224 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 4: of a covert bid to bring about regime change. Well, 225 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,080 Speaker 4: if it's truly a covert bid, why would we blatantly 226 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 4: and openly send you know, a dozen or ten or 227 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 4: whatever it was F thirty five's Puerto Rico, send a 228 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 4: couple of nuke subs, send some warships into the Caribbean. 229 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 4: That doesn't seem very covert to me. Seems to be 230 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 4: pretty obvious what we're doing. And then blowing up four 231 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 4: boats belonging to the drug traffickers in recent weeks. Okay, well, 232 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 4: have at it, but be careful what you wish for. 233 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 4: I'd like to see Maduro gone too. But you can't 234 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 4: ever look at any singular thing we do in one 235 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 4: part of the world without stopping and looking at what's 236 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 4: it doing to us in another part of the world. 237 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 4: I know people will say, oh, broll, you want us 238 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 4: to be the world's policeman. Not in the sense that 239 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 4: I want us to intervene everywhere, but in the sense 240 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: that I want us to have a presence everywhere to 241 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 4: keep our enemies at bay. And I still believe that 242 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 4: China is the number one existential threat to this country. 243 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 4: Is a threat to us internally, it's a threat to 244 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 4: us externally. And when we pull the rubber band over here, 245 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 4: what happens over there? When we push the balloon in 246 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: over here, what happens over there? 247 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 2: And I don't know. 248 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 4: I'm just simply raising the question and hoping that you 249 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 4: will think about it, because I'm sure there will be 250 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 4: all over the news about old Trump's going in for 251 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 4: regime change in Venezuela. But right now it seems to 252 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 4: be just fighting the narco terros and I'm fine with that. 253 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 4: But where's the medium asking questions about and what does 254 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 4: this mean for I guess because of the shutdown, there's 255 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 4: nobody to ask the question of what's going on the 256 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,479 Speaker 4: body to give the answer, and so we'll never know 257 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 4: until the government shut down is over. Oh maybe, center, 258 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 4: I don't know. Just stop and think about it. That's 259 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 4: all I want you to do, is just think about it. 260 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: The traffic light was indeed out due to the government 261 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: shutdown that claimed the life of dead Gooper. However, Dead 262 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,199 Speaker 1: Gooper was found to have COVID, so was his death 263 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,439 Speaker 1: solely due to the government shutdown. 264 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 4: It's a twofer government shut down and COVID. You know, 265 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:09,239 Speaker 4: that's a that's a win win situation right there. The 266 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 4: congregants in the Church of the Climate activists are busily 267 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 4: trying to change things, to save humanity by destroying humanity, 268 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 4: trying to improve our lives by making us go back 269 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 4: to caveman days. And thirdly, they're trying to change something 270 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 4: that naturally occurs. And we know we've talked before about 271 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 4: CO two and that CO two is a naturally occurring gas. 272 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 4: I'm exhaling CO two right now. It's necessary for the 273 00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 4: cycle of life on this planet. Plants use it, we 274 00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 4: get rid of it so they can live, and then 275 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 4: they put off oxygen so we can live. 276 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's they're great. You know what. 277 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 4: It's almost as if some being greater than us designed 278 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 4: it and put it together. That amazing, like maybe some 279 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 4: God put it together or something. But you know, the 280 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,679 Speaker 4: Church would never admit that why do we continue to 281 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 4: try to change things for which for which there is 282 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 4: a natural cause for it to exist. Once again, let's 283 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 4: go this time not to the Community Access whatever it 284 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 4: was fund that would enterprise fund we talked about in 285 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 4: the first hour. But now let's go to something called 286 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 4: the Regional Air Quality Council and the Colorado air Quality 287 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 4: Control Commission. I guarantee you've got something similar in your state. 288 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,360 Speaker 4: According to this story, they're going to the Regional Air 289 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:57,199 Speaker 4: Quality Council is going to present a report to the 290 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 4: Colorado Air Quality Control Commission sometime in November. And in 291 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 4: this report, it's going to have all these proposals of 292 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 4: things that we can do to reduce the ozone along 293 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 4: the front Range. Now, if you're out on the Eastern Plains, 294 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 4: or you're in southern Colorado, or you're over on the 295 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 4: western slope somewhere, or you live high up on the 296 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 4: Continental Divide, doesn't apply to you, but it's going to 297 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 4: affect you. It's this is the source where I'll make 298 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 4: the general statement that I'll explain the details. This is 299 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 4: the source of the regulations that are coming about the 300 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 4: prohibition of gas powered lawn equipment. That initial rule is 301 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 4: going to be about state and local governments or large 302 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 4: businesses using gas powered equipment. 303 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: Now, I don't know. 304 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 4: Whether that's going to apply to the I. You know, 305 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 4: I got a group of guys that come and mow 306 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 4: my lawn and trim the lawn, and you know, they 307 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 4: do all the work on it, and they use all 308 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:10,120 Speaker 4: gas powered equipment. 309 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: I do. 310 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: Now, it's a small company. It's owned by you know, 311 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 4: one Vietnamese guy, and who is a citizen, by the way, 312 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 4: One Vietnamese guy, and he's got like three or four 313 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 4: workers and they and they, I mean, he's got one 314 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 4: hell of a business. Basically some what I paying, and 315 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 4: I calculate how busy he is. I'm thinking, shoot, drag 316 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 4: and I except it's actual physical labor, we should go 317 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 4: do that, but we're not. Because it's physical labor. Will 318 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 4: it affect a business like his, I don't know the 319 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 4: answer to that. But what I do know is that 320 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 4: when this report comes out, they're going to have stuff 321 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 4: in there that's going to be absolutely mind boggling stupid, 322 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,679 Speaker 4: and it's going to affect the cost of doing business 323 00:21:51,720 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 4: in this state. For example, this Colorado Sun by the way. Finally, 324 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 4: Bucket three involves enactment of emissions reduction strategies by twenty 325 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 4: thirty that could have significant long term impacts, but may 326 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 4: take more the time than objectives in the first two 327 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 4: buggets to implement these involved mandates for indirect sources. We're 328 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 4: talking now, we're talking about not just CO two, but 329 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: about ozone, because we are in a severe non compliance 330 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 4: standard with the EPA. 331 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,439 Speaker 2: For ozone levels. 332 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 4: And so this now, this Colorado Air Quality Control Commission 333 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 4: is in November going to receive a bunch of recommendations 334 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 4: that will make it costlier for us to do business 335 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 4: or to even live here. So I got to thinking, first, 336 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 4: what is our condition about ozone? Colorado is currently considered 337 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 4: in severe non compliance with the ozone EPA ozone requirements, 338 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 4: but specifically for the Denver metro north Front Range area, 339 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 4: not the eastern planes, not the western slope, not southern Colorado, 340 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 4: but right here in the urban area in the Front Range. 341 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 4: They designated us a severe non attainment area based on 342 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 4: a two thousand and eight standard of seventy five parts 343 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 4: per billion, and then a serious non attainment area for 344 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 4: the twenty fifteen standard, which is seventy parts per billion. 345 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 4: Severe non attainment status imposes all these regulatory requirements, including 346 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,439 Speaker 4: tighter controls on major sources of emissions and mandates for 347 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 4: reformulated gasoline. Another reason why your guest costs more, But 348 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 4: I was curious, including tighter controls on major sources of 349 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 4: emissions and mandates for reformulated gasoline. The current three year 350 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 4: average ozone concentration in this area where we set right 351 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 4: now is well above both EPA standards, averaging about eighty 352 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 4: one parts per billion in twenty twenty two through twenty 353 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 4: twenty four. And we're projected not to even meet the 354 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 4: two thousand and eight standard by July twenty twenty seven. 355 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 4: And our state modeling, which tells me we'll just change 356 00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 4: the models then it will be in compliance, does it 357 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 4: forecast compliance by July twenty twenty seven. So we've submitted 358 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 4: a revised state implementation Plan to the EPA, which is 359 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 4: going to impose further regulatory requirements on how we do 360 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 4: business and how we live our lives. But if you 361 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 4: thought about ozone itself, ask yourself this question. How much 362 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 4: of Colorado's ozone problem is caused by the geography along 363 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 4: the counties on the Front Range. In other words, how 364 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 4: much of the ozone is a result of natural geographic 365 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,480 Speaker 4: conditions as opposed to man made conditions. 366 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 2: Huh. When you start asking. 367 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 4: Yourself that question, you start realizing there were chased seeing 368 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 4: something that we can't alter. Natural geography and weather patterns 369 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 4: along the Front Range play, and I'm just gonna use 370 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 4: the word significant for the time being, play a significant 371 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 4: role in this ozone pollution air quotes here problem that 372 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 4: we supposedly have. But what's the rule about? 373 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 2: Butts? 374 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 4: More than half of the ozone measured in this region 375 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 4: in the Front Range is actually classified as. 376 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,639 Speaker 2: Background and natural. 377 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 4: Oh so this Colorado Air Quality Control Commission wants to 378 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 4: reduce emissions that are background and natural. What does that mean? Back, 379 00:25:54,680 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 4: background and natural? Well, these natural factors is what traps 380 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 4: and concentrates ozone precursors which then react to form the 381 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 4: ground level ozone. Hot summer temperatures, Oh so when it 382 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,679 Speaker 4: gets hot in the summer, what are we gonna do, 383 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 4: giant air conditioning fans? How about that, oh, frequent sunshine 384 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 4: something that you know we tout three hundred and sixty 385 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 4: days a year of sunshine. Atmospheric stagnation because of the mountains, 386 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 4: and we live in a bowl and localize wind patterns 387 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 4: like the Denver cyclone. All of those trap and concentrate 388 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 4: those ozone precursors, which then react to form the ground 389 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 4: level ozone. Regional geography, just to give you the specifics, 390 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 4: regional geography causes air stagnation that traps the pollutants against 391 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 4: the mountains, especially when the prevailing winds from the plains 392 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 4: to the Fitthills blow that direction, resulting at higher ozone 393 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 4: components in the western urban mountain area, So like in 394 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 4: jeff Co. And then down here in Denver County. Oh yeah, 395 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 4: because of the geography and the prevailing wind conditions, it 396 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 4: goes slams up against the mountains. It causes those precursors 397 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 4: to kind of flip over and come down and it 398 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 4: forms ozone. Then the frequent sunny day, the dry climate, 399 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 4: the elevation of sites along the front range increase ozone 400 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 4: formation during the summer. It's naturally occurring, but it goes 401 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 4: beyond that. Naturally emissions biogenic voltatile organic compounds from trees 402 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 4: and wildfires. Well, I guess we could just stop all wildfires, 403 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 4: but we can't do that until we start cleaning up 404 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 4: the forests. All that contributes substantial background ozone that accounts 405 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 4: for more than half of the total measured concentrations in 406 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 4: this region. So ozone and precursors periodic call also blow 407 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 4: in from neighboring states, neighboring countries in the wildfire, you know, 408 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 4: Canadian wildfire, and the smoke comes down here and that 409 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 4: further elevates background levels beyond local control. So we're chasing 410 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:17,919 Speaker 4: something that we can't change. Yeah, motor vehicles, oil and 411 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 4: gas operations, you know, airplanes. I guess we ought to 412 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 4: get rid of Denver International Airport and our population. You know, 413 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 4: we drive, We have heavy vehicle use. So maybe she'd 414 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 4: just quit driving, but that would solve less than half 415 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 4: the problem. What they're trying to do is solving something 416 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 4: that the majority of the problem is caused by natural 417 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,479 Speaker 4: conditions for which they cannot do any change. 418 00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 3: Total insanity, Michael, I thought it was obvious, AOC, and 419 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 3: Bernie already told you why I. 420 00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: Died because I lost access to medical care. 421 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 2: I had an inground tone. Now, oh, so you're an 422 00:28:59,360 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: illegal alien. 423 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 4: Now I understand, I understand. I I'm not Catholic, so 424 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 4: don't take this wrong. But the Pope blessed a chunk 425 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 4: of ice on camera. 426 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 5: Pope Francis's Climate Summit, which helped set the toad for 427 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 5: the twenty fifteen Paris Climate Agreement. He was joined on 428 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 5: stage by actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who 429 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,280 Speaker 5: washed as Leo placed his hand on a large chunk 430 00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:38,640 Speaker 5: of ice taken from a melting glacier in Greenland. 431 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 4: Taken from a melting glacier in Greenland? And did he 432 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 4: do this as a Vatican Did he do it in Greenland? 433 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 4: Because how did the ice get from Greenland to wherever 434 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 4: the Pope blessed it? That seems to have maybe used 435 00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 4: a little bit of energy. He touches the ice. Arnold 436 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:07,920 Speaker 4: stands up. 437 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 3: Lord of Life, bless this water. May it awaken our hearts, 438 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 3: cleanse our indifference, soothe our grief, and renew our hope 439 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 3: through Christ, our Lord. 440 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:34,000 Speaker 5: Hope. Leo presided over the gathering, which brought together around 441 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 5: one thousand representatives from environmental and indigenous groups. At the event, 442 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 5: the Pontiff spoke at length on climate change, just days 443 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 5: after US President Donald Trump said at the UN General 444 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 5: Assembly that it's a con job of global warming, dismissing 445 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 5: renewable energy initiatives. Hope Leo also quoted his predecessor, Pope 446 00:30:54,760 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 5: Francis's follow up published in twenty three, in which the 447 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 5: Argentinian pope challenged world leaders before a UN conference to 448 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 5: commit to binding targets to slow climate change before it 449 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 5: gets too late. Pope's blessing to the ice block drew 450 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 5: both admiration and ridicule online. Some conservatives walk the ritual, 451 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 5: while others question the appropriateness of a pope engaging in 452 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 5: symbolic environmental acts. Char Seger praised the pontiff as a 453 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 5: real world action hero for taking a visible stance on 454 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,560 Speaker 5: the climate crisis. 455 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 4: Why is the Pope saying that we have more power 456 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 4: and dominion over the earth than God does? I just 457 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 4: explained to the last segment, how, for example, the majority 458 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 4: of ozone in the Front Range right here where we're 459 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 4: sitting is primarily caused because of natural geographic reasons. We 460 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 4: didn't build the mountains, yeah, we built the homes here, 461 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 4: so we're in the way. The winds were always blowing 462 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 4: this way, so whenever it blows smoke or anything else 463 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 4: and it slams up against the Front range, and then 464 00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 4: those precursors you know, start forming ground level ozone. 465 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 2: That's a natural phenomenon. 466 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 4: And the glaciers melting, you know, I haven't finished studying it, 467 00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 4: but there is a report out that the glaciers that 468 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 4: are melting is not coming from warm air, but from 469 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 4: warmth on the ocean floors that the core of the 470 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 4: Earth goes through and I don't remember the wording for it, 471 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 4: that goes through this oscillation where it heats up and 472 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 4: gets hotter than cools off and hotter and cools off. 473 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 4: And that's just a natural thing that goes on in 474 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 4: the core of this planet. And so it's heat from 475 00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:04,720 Speaker 4: the body them that is causing glaciers and icebergs to melt, 476 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 4: or Antarctic or Arctic sea ice to sometimes you know, 477 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 4: waver be smaller, larger, depending it's all because of something 478 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 4: in the core of the Earth, not because of anything 479 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 4: that we're doing. I'm gonna keep studying and reading about 480 00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 4: it before I bring all the details to you. But Catholics, 481 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:29,200 Speaker 4: I don't know. This almost I don't know. Seems to 482 00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:35,480 Speaker 4: me the a little little uh maybe not idolatry, sacriligious 483 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:36,000 Speaker 4: or something. 484 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 2: It just bugs
