His name is Andrew Truelove, 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 3: and he comes to us from Virginia and one headline 19 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 3: to the story and then we'll get into it because 20 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 3: it's I think it encapsules what you and I really 21 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 3: believe is going on with many vagrants. 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: It really does. 23 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 3: They may have some mental illnesses, but and he claims 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 3: he does. But there's there's a theme that runs underneath 25 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 3: all of this, and that's just hopeless HAPs irresponsible, blobs. 26 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: Irresponsible. 27 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: Several people sent the story with comments like that, can 28 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 3: you believe this? It really just summed it all up nicely. 29 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 3: It's a very long story. It's worth the read, though. 30 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: In twenty nineteen, this man got fifty thousand dollars inheritance 31 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: when his father died. It's gone pretty much gone, all right, 32 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: and he came to California and they like to put 33 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 3: it to pursue a dream. The dream was to go 34 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 3: to Silicon. 35 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 1: Valley, right and start up a social media outlet where 36 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: people are going to tell their life stories. 37 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: That was it, That was his whole That's it on 38 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 2: a sketchboard. 39 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: You know, when I saw that word dream, I got 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: irritated immediately because there's something about that word that causes 41 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: these woke progressive journalists to have some kind of orgasm. 42 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 3: And it's also the cliche everybody comes to California to 43 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 3: pursue their dreams. Here's what happened to one guy who 44 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 3: ended up homeless almost immediate, and it's a way to 45 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 3: sucker you into reading the thing, and I had different 46 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 3: reactions as I kept reading it. 47 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: At first, I thought, this has got to be a parody, 48 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: This has got to be a joke, or this is more. Oh, 49 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,080 Speaker 1: look at this poor victim slop. You know that that 50 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 1: they publish every day. But you start, you start reading 51 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: this thing, and you realize that our entire system to 52 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: deal with these people is absurd and busted and useless, 53 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: and the people themselves are absurd and broken and useless, 54 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 1: And this is the whole thing is ridiculous. 55 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 3: They tried to gently make you think that, Oh, he 56 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 3: just gets frustrated because all the homeless services providers he 57 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 3: went to resulted in problems.

After two o'clock, we really begin with this, 100 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 3: which just came in the last couple of hours. John 101 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: Marilyn Flynn got her sentence. Aaron Flynn is the eighty 102 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 3: four year old former dean of USC School of Social 103 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 3: Work who admitted bribing described here long time. I'm going 104 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: to add the word disgraced Los Angeles politician Mark Ridley 105 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 3: Thomas while he served on the County Board of Supervisors. 106 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: He was more recently on the city council. 107 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: She got three years probation order to pay one hundred 108 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 3: and fifty thousand dollars fine. And the center piece of 109 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 3: this case is this one hundred thousand dollars where she 110 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: agreed to have US serve as a conduit, so the 111 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 3: money would go from Ridley Thomas's campaign account to the 112 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: Social Work School. Then she arranged for a nearly simultaneous 113 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollar payment from USC to United Ways 114 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 3: of California to benefit something called Policy Research and Practice Initiative. 115 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: Well, what do you know? 116 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 3: That was a nonprofit started by Mark Ridley Thomas's son, Sebastian, 117 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: who was unemployed, out of work. 118 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: Out of the Assembly because of me too crap. Yeah, 119 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: he's a sexual harasser. So he got booted out of 120 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: the Assembly. 121 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: And he needed a landing spot. So this is what Ridley 122 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 2: Thomas came. 123 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: Up with, and there was There were plenty of emails 124 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: and records. Ridley Thomas was appealing it right up to 125 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: just a week or two ago. And yeah, George turned 126 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: aside his first appeal attempt. Yes, because it's all true. 127 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: He is guilty and he should go to prison. And 128 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: this is all turning out very well. She is eighty four, 129 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: Marilyn Flynn, so there wasn't any chance she was going 130 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: to prison. Besides, plus she cooperated to some degree. She 131 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: turned the evidence on Ridley Thomas. Yeah, yes, she would 132 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 1: end up testifying. She didn't in the actual trial, but 133 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: she did cooperate in some manner, and the prosecution wanted 134 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: eighteen months of electronic monitoring, and she's going to get. 135 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 2: That, so I guess. 136 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: So we'll be able to tell when she goes to 137 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: the grocery store, when she picks up her prescriptions. 138 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: You never know dokt her appointments. 139 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 3: I mean, I got to believe in eighty four, she's 140 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: trying to say, well, the defense says, oh, it's unfortunate 141 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 3: that after her illustrious career it comes to an end 142 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 3: in this way. But she was trying to save herself. 143 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: The School of Social Work, as we told you, was 144 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 3: going under. 145 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: She was doing a bad job, and the School of 146 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: Social Work was losing a lot of money, so she 147 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: turned to crime to try to balance the books. It's unfortunate. 148 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: That word unfortunate means you had some bad luck. She 149 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: did this to herself, and she did this to herself 150 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: because she was lousy at her job, at least lousy 151 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: at the financial end of the job. 152 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 4: Right. 153 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 3: So then Ridley Thomas turned around and he set up 154 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,119 Speaker 3: a meeting between the Dean and a high level county 155 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: official wonder who that is to move forward on the 156 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 3: county's approval of Flynn's desired expansion of online mental health 157 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 3: services contract that would have brought money to her school 158 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 3: of Social Work, because as we've told you in the past, 159 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: they went nuts trying to get more people to apply. 160 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 3: They did a whole online thing, a big advertising campaign. 161 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 2: They were deep in the red. So she was feeling 162 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 2: the heat. 163 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: You would think at eighty four she would just walk 164 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: away or whatever she was, you know, being a dean, 165 00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: said she came up with this idea to try to 166 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: stay afloat and look better financially. You know, as her 167 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: attorney pointed out, you know this being a dean, you're 168 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: not being an academic. You're running a business. It's a 169 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: financial job. You've got to keep money rolling into your school, 170 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: absolutely right.

Texas says, no, 248 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 3: we have the authority to defend our border. Alex Stone, 249 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 3: ABC News for KFI is covering this story. So let's 250 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 3: see what else we can find out.

Yeah, 255 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: he says, they have every right under the constitution to 256 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: protect the borders of the state. And so he wrote 257 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: a letter today to the President saying Texas will see 258 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: you in court, mister President. So that is the answer 259 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: to the federal government saying take that thing down. That 260 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: the federal government and the Mexican government both claiming that 261 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: it is illegal, that it breaks federal and international laws 262 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: and treaties that have been in place for seventy some 263 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: odd years, that they're saying that he cannot do that. Well, 264 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: Abbott is saying, as long as the federal government fails 265 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: in dealing with the illegal immigration. 266 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: That they're going to do whatever they've got to do. 267 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: And Texas State troopers are saying it's badly needed that 268 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: they say it is there for a reason to deter 269 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: migrants from coming across, and they say it's very visible, 270 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: four foot high buoys that are hard to swim underneath. 271 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: You can't climb over them really. Then followed by that 272 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: razor wire up against the banks of the Rio grand 273 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 1: and Lieutenant Chris Alivera is telling us that this is 274 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: why they want to. 275 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 2: The should go to the port of entry where it's safe, 276 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 2: where to humane when they can seek asylum as opposed 277 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 2: to risking their life crossing the river. 278 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: So kind of there is a determ But over the 279 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: weekend they became pretty clear even the barrier doesn't stop attempts. 280 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: The migrants were making their way through the razor wire, 281 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: finding their way underneath those barriers, so there will still 282 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: be attempts. There still are those who were saying that 283 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: you at least trying to get around them, some of 284 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,079 Speaker 1: the bayers along the border, this being one of them 285 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: in the town of Rio Grande Joel via Real. He 286 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,679 Speaker 1: says he understands what the governor is doing, but he 287 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: doesn't like what it is because all the razor wire, 288 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: there are people getting hurt and then caught on it. 289 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: When you're looking at the wire, when you're looking at 290 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 5: these floating devices. To be frank with you, that is 291 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 5: a death trap. 292 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: But he also understands what Abbot is doing, saying something 293 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: needs to be figured out obviously along the border, and 294 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: and you know he gets it somehow. 295 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 5: We need to avoid these partisan politics and just address 296 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 5: the issue of immigration and border security, which again we 297 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 5: do need both. We need immigration, we do need mored security. 298 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,120 Speaker 1: And boom breaking news, as that sound by was playing, 299 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: we just got reportable. Justice Department is now filed it's 300 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 1: lawsuit against Governor Abbit over those floating barrier booys and 301 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: Rio Grande. So moment ago the lawsuit was filed and 302 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: see where it goes. But the governors saying see in court, 303 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: I get would. 304 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 2: It be an expedity because that could take weeks or months? Yeah, 305 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 2: this could be a while. 306 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the notes of the suit outlined 307 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: here brings a civil enforcement. They're claiming the Rivers and 308 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: Hart Act and a number of other things here. But 309 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: I guess they want a temporary injunction for starters. Yeah, 310 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: so at least they would have to remove it and 311 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: and you know, then figure it out from there. That 312 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: would be pretty normal, uh, for an injunction to get involved. 313 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: To be a lot of work to remove it and 314 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: then maybe put it back there. But this is gonna 315 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: be a fight. I mean, you've got those who are 316 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: on the side of Texas saying that, look, it is 317 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: a flow of migrants coming over, that nothing else is working, 318 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: so Texas is protecting itself. Then you've got Mexico and 319 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: a lot of Democrats and the Biden administration saying okay, 320 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: but that there are treaties in place, international humanitarian laws 321 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: with the barbed wire fence and then everything else that 322 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: people can get caught on. So I mean, it's going 323 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: to be up to the court and probably depending on 324 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: what court you get. But then that's it depends on 325 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: the judge. It's gonna absolutely and then it we'll go 326 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: to the appellate court, and it depends on the district 327 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: that they're in and which appellate cord they get. 328 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, they could stay in the legal system for a while. 329 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 3: All right, thank you, Alex, appreciate it. You got Alex Stone, 330 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 3: ABC News for KFI on this Booiye barrier that the 331 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 3: Texas government put up in the Rio Grande River to 332 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 3: try to keep the migrants from crossing. 333 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: Do you see the pictures of it. 334 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a big We wish we had 335 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: a governor who was as decisive and and and and 336 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 1: somebody who takes strong action like Greg Abbott. You know 337 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: what cracks me up, really fries me too, is Mexico 338 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: is objecting. Mexico allows all these immigrants to come in 339 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: to Mexico and then leave, you know, out there at 340 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,359 Speaker 1: the front door to the US. 341 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 2: Because they get a lot of money coming back.

Right, we always claim, despite recent studies, 495 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,920 Speaker 3: that people fell into hopelessness while living in California. 496 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,280 Speaker 2: That's right.

The other side came 672 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,000 Speaker 3: in with the helium fill balloons to strew with them 673 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 3: to mess up their banquet by letting these balloons float 674 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,800 Speaker 3: to the air with alarms sounding so nobody could be heard, 675 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,720 Speaker 3: and the whole thing was a cacophony of noise until 676 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,680 Speaker 3: the dopey climate people got ladders to pull the balloons down. 677 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 2: Oh in that case, I approve, brilliant idea. 678 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, they just stop pissing off. People are trying to 679 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 3: mess with them at every corner everywhere they can because 680 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:26,400 Speaker 3: they're tired of them blocking traffic. 681 00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 2: Wosh. 682 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,080 Speaker 1: They knew they knew the no you like this, this 683 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: is no I do. They knew they were coming though, because. 684 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,959 Speaker 2: They knew about the bank. Well, they publicized it. 685 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 3: Of course, they like getting attention, so they publicized that 686 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,440 Speaker 3: they were going to have this banquet, and they just 687 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 3: stop pissing off everybody. 688 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,920 Speaker 2: People came up with this idea, not unless you make noise. 689 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 3: Let's make noise that they can't stop for a while 690 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 3: by releasing balloons that float to the top of the 691 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 3: ceiling with alarms that go off and annoy them. 692 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: You know, I misunderstood the story because normal people are 693 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: rarely that clever in coming in and they don't get 694 00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: this involved. 695 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 2: They got this, and I mean it just sounded like 696 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 2: something that, well, look at this, this is this is 697 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 2: your category. 698 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 3: People with nothing to do, who actually did a good thing. 699 00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:11,120 Speaker 3: Because they are protesting the protesters, they are trying to 700 00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 3: stop them. Don't be climate people from messing everyone's. 701 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,320 Speaker 1: Lives up by blocking traffic or throwing stuff on paintings. 702 00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,880 Speaker 1: Or that's right, you got to start by throwing paint 703 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:22,400 Speaker 1: on these climate activists. 704 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what you got to do. 705 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: Joel Kotkin had a story a few days ago, uh 706 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: and he wrote that while the Western nations demonize coal, oil, 707 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 1: and gas, most developing countries want to grow their own 708 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:42,840 Speaker 1: economies by developing fossil fuels. Countries like India are busily 709 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:47,279 Speaker 1: building coal plants, and they're going to resist what they 710 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:51,439 Speaker 1: describe as the West's carbon imperialism. In other words, they're 711 00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:56,240 Speaker 1: telling the Europe and America to go buzz off, f off, 712 00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: and they're building coal plants here because we want to 713 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: grow our nation and fossil fuel use. Fossil fuel usage 714 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: is still growing, accounting for an overwhelming share of all 715 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: the energy used across the globe. So this is all 716 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 1: silly and pointless. China and India alone is going to 717 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 1: drive a tremendous amount of fossil fuel burning for indefinitely 718 00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,280 Speaker 1: because they needed to build their nations. 719 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,400 Speaker 3: Right, I mean, last I checked, China said, oh, in 720 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,319 Speaker 3: the year twenty thirty, we'll let you know, but we 721 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,560 Speaker 3: think we'll start to cut. 722 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,320 Speaker 2: Back on our emissions the year twenty thirty. Oh they're lying. 723 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:33,600 Speaker 2: That's why I told you last week. 724 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,000 Speaker 3: They sent dopey John Kerry over there to appeal to them, 725 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 3: and they kind of turned them away, and they no commitment. 726 00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: They're never going to stop burning oil and gas never. 727 00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 2: They don't care. 728 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:48,319 Speaker 1: They have no interest in what our progressive crowd. That 729 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: may be true, but I read they lead the world 730 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 1: in electric vehicle production actually because they have so many people. 731 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 2: They need everything. Yeah, well they need oil, gas and 732 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 2: they need electric they need everything. 733 00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, because they're trying to get their entry 734 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,160 Speaker 3: up to a middle class and better like the US 735 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 3: did for a while. 736 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 1: They can do that, but overwhelmingly they're burning fossil fuel 737 00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,240 Speaker 1: they've got. In fact, I think they're rejecting like Tesla's 738 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 1: an American A lot of the parts or Chinese, but 739 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: they're think they're buying their own Chinese made, Chines produced evs. 740 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 2: They own most of the mineral supply. 741 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,200 Speaker 1: They they're building most of the components so they can 742 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: build those electric cars at a much more efficient price. 743 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:28,759 Speaker 2: All right. 744 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,440 Speaker 3: Coming up next, we'll check in on Silmar.
