1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: The New York State Attorney General's office, run by a 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: bunch of out of control leftists. In October, they filed 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: the first climate change fraud lawsuit. They accused Exxon Mobile 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,599 Speaker 1: of defrauding investors by not coming clean about the financial 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,120 Speaker 1: risk posed by climate change, global warming whatever, The New 6 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: York a g charged x On Mobile with violating the 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,759 Speaker 1: Martin Act. That's a state law that doesn't even require 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: proof of intent to convict a company of fraud against shareholders. 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: So the stage was set. An evil fossil fuel corporate 10 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: giant would finally be forced to pay the piper for 11 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: global warming in a liberal state. Using a slam dunk law. 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 1: X On Mobile should have been an easy legal scalp 13 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:51,319 Speaker 1: Little Elizabeth Warren lingo there. But it wasn't. The New 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: York Supreme Court judge decided the case without a jury. 15 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: In a scathing ruling, he found the New York State 16 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: Attorney General failed to prove by a preponderance of the 17 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: evidence that Exxon Mobile was guilty of anything. And then, 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: after being trounced in court, the New York Attorney General 19 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,959 Speaker 1: promised to keep holding companies responsible and to continue to 20 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: fight to end the climate change. So even when liberals lose, 21 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: even when they are proven embarrassingly wrong, they never stopped. 22 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: Reality bites them on the butt all the time, but 23 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: they are too unhinged to notice they are losing. Those 24 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: folks
