WEBVTT - Rush Limbaugh Dec 12, 2019

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>The New York State Attorney General's office, run by a

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:07.320
<v Speaker 1>bunch of out of control leftists. In October, they filed

0:00:07.320 --> 0:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>the first climate change fraud lawsuit. They accused Exxon Mobile

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:16.599
<v Speaker 1>of defrauding investors by not coming clean about the financial

0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.120
<v Speaker 1>risk posed by climate change, global warming whatever, The New

0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.239
<v Speaker 1>York a g charged x On Mobile with violating the

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Martin Act. That's a state law that doesn't even require

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:30.080
<v Speaker 1>proof of intent to convict a company of fraud against shareholders.

0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:34.360
<v Speaker 1>So the stage was set. An evil fossil fuel corporate

0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.839
<v Speaker 1>giant would finally be forced to pay the piper for

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:41.800
<v Speaker 1>global warming in a liberal state. Using a slam dunk law.

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>X On Mobile should have been an easy legal scalp

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:51.319
<v Speaker 1>Little Elizabeth Warren lingo there. But it wasn't. The New

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:56.120
<v Speaker 1>York Supreme Court judge decided the case without a jury.

0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>In a scathing ruling, he found the New York State

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General failed to prove by a preponderance of the

0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>evidence that Exxon Mobile was guilty of anything. And then,

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.679
<v Speaker 1>after being trounced in court, the New York Attorney General

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.959
<v Speaker 1>promised to keep holding companies responsible and to continue to

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>fight to end the climate change. So even when liberals lose,

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>even when they are proven embarrassingly wrong, they never stopped.

0:01:21.920 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Reality bites them on the butt all the time, but

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>they are too unhinged to notice they are losing. Those

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 1>folks
