Speaker 3: you get indicted, probably if it's.
Speaker 2: Not indicted by the judicial system, if be indicted by society.
Speaker 3: Do you think they go up even higher or they
Speaker 3: go down if he goes to jail. I think if
Speaker 3: you go together, probably going like twenty k sign cli.
Speaker 9: Really people are nothing like that.
Speaker 3: I'm wearing these right, I get robbed, they get taken.
Speaker 9: Off of me.
Speaker 5: You're not gonna get roud for those brothers.
Speaker 3: Oh that's good to do. So this is really like
Speaker 3: robbery repellent right here.
Speaker 1: So people might try to give you tips on fashion,
Speaker 1: like why are you wearing them?
Speaker 3: Okay, shoes are very symbolic of who you are as
Speaker 3: a person, So if you have shoes, might be a person.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, those are pretty bad.
Speaker 3: But what about your shoeing dog?
Speaker 4: What those are some dirty ass shoes?
Speaker 7: Bro?
Speaker 6: Those thing guys who how best to run a marathon?
Speaker 2: It's really about It's really about trauma.
Speaker 7: Is it.
Speaker 6: You lucky bigger than me? Man, super hurricanes, drought, wildfires,
Speaker 6: turning New York City the color of sunny d Across America,
Speaker 6: climate change is wreaking havoc and driving people from their homes,
Speaker 6: and experts say this is only the beginning.
Speaker 5: This is in the order of millions of people. So
Speaker 5: where might they go?
Speaker 7: Climate researchers city answer is in and up, think, deLuce, Wow.
Speaker 1: So millions of coastal elites like myself will one day
Speaker 1: be flocking to Minnesota. Is this the city of the future.
Speaker 1: Let's find out.
Speaker 9: If I move, I can't feel my legs.
Speaker 8: I'm not moving.
Speaker 2: Why was there not a jacket in my suitcase?
Speaker 1: To learn more, I met with Chief Sustainability Officer Mindy Grandly,
Speaker 1: So tell me about the Luth Well.
Speaker 9: Duluth is a great city. We're on a great lake.
Speaker 9: We have lots of fresh water.
Speaker 2: If we finish this inside, because if I don't go
Speaker 2: inside in seven.
Speaker 9: Seconds, my heart's gonna explode.
Speaker 10: Of course, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: So what we're saying about du Luth Duluth to what
Speaker 1: we're saying about.
Speaker 9: Duluth Well, experts have called Daluth a climate refuge because
Speaker 9: we're a place that's fairly safe from the worst effects
Speaker 9: of climate change.
Speaker 2: You're talking about in fifty years when this climate change
Speaker 2: thing like really gets bad.
Speaker 9: Right, A few people are moving here now from California
Speaker 9: because of climate change.
Speaker 2: So you're telling me people are moving here from the
Speaker 2: good States.
Speaker 1: Yes, Mindy claims Duluth has big advantages like ten percent
Speaker 1: of the world's drinking water in Lake Superior and room
Speaker 1: for up to ten thousand new residents because it's basically
Speaker 1: that barren ice planet from star warks.
Speaker 9: Some people can handle eighty inches of snow every winter.
Speaker 2: And eighty inches of snow over eighty Jesus.
Speaker 8: Christ, do you think those big un climate change summits
Speaker 8: would be more effective if people knew that the alternative
Speaker 8: was having to move to Duluth.
Speaker 9: Well, there's really no bad weather. There's just bad clothing,
Speaker 9: bad clothing, so.
Speaker 2: People are still wearing Balenciaga here.
Speaker 3: We don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: Despite this vast cultural divide, coastal refugees are getting ready
Speaker 1: to flood to Loof.
Speaker 2: But are the locals prepared.
Speaker 1: There's a migrant caravan of California's coming. They're bringing their
Speaker 1: spin instructors, they're kombucha makers, they're oat milk.
Speaker 5: Are you ready for that?
Speaker 6: I don't mind having a few more friends.
Speaker 2: Any advice for refugees that are coming here.
Speaker 1: Oh, sure, you can need a dress really warm.
Speaker 2: They can't dress warmly because then they would lose their
Speaker 2: job as Instagram models.
Speaker 4: Well, it's going to be hard to be a bikini
Speaker 4: model here.
Speaker 2: I mean, you're laughing, but this is important to my culture,
Speaker 2: your culture.
Speaker 1: It felt like you were speaking two different languages.
Speaker 2: But how deep was this divide? Polo or rugby?
Speaker 5: Ooh, rugby for sure? Why because I like sports that?
Speaker 7: No, No, I.
Speaker 2: Don't mean the sport. I'm talking about names for children
Speaker 2: or rugby neither. Are there any members only exclusive clubs here?
Speaker 9: Well, there's Sam's Club on Costco.
Speaker 4: So I can do cricket and a bathing there.
Speaker 1: I even got some words of wisdom from former Duluth
Speaker 1: mayor Emily Larson, seen here in a press conference last July.
Speaker 2: Dluth is gritty and resilient and real.
Speaker 7: We work hard, we really care about each other.
Speaker 2: That's going to be tough for some of these people
Speaker 2: in LA because they don't work hard and they don't
Speaker 2: care about each other.
Speaker 1: But the first wave of Californians are already here, so
Speaker 1: how are they surviving?
Speaker 7: It does feel like another planet sometimes.
Speaker 1: Meet ex Californian an environmental list Jamie Alexander.
Speaker 7: We packed into a camper van thinking we were going
Speaker 7: to drive out here and spend the summer, and then
Speaker 7: wildfire season of twenty twenty happened, and I decided to
Speaker 7: move my family here because of climate change.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest. Okay, there's no de Lutherans here is
Speaker 2: the de Lutherans, the Lutherans, the Luthians, the Luthians. All right,
Speaker 2: let's be honest. There's no Di Luthians here.
Speaker 9: Okay?
Speaker 3: Please?
Speaker 2: That sucks, right, it doesn't.
Speaker 9: I love it here.
Speaker 5: I want to live in a place where it feels real.
Speaker 2: People say that the Lutherans do. Do Lags are more
Speaker 2: real people? A New Yorker spits in my face. It
Speaker 2: feels pretty real.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think what is meant by that
Speaker 7: is here you're connected to your neighbors. Everywhere is going
Speaker 7: to experience climate impacts. If a climate related you know,
Speaker 7: weather event happened, would you be able to lean on
Speaker 7: your neighbors.
Speaker 2: I've lived in New York for seven years. I don't
Speaker 2: know my neighbor and I don't want to know my
Speaker 2: neighbor questions. Do you have a winter jacket for me?
Speaker 9: I didn't.
Speaker 2: This is not cutting it, and my BMI is like
Speaker 2: under two percent. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Jamie told me to really understand du Luthians, I would
Speaker 1: have to walk a mile in their shoes, even if
Speaker 1: mine were nicer.
Speaker 2: These boots are the Louis. I'm not going to get
Speaker 2: snow on them.
Speaker 7: The way he probably will.
Speaker 2: Ready to do it, I'm ready to let's go. Shoot,
Speaker 2: They're kind of hard to walk in at first.
Speaker 3: I'm kidding, it goes my suit.
Speaker 2: Hey, those look like huge almost rats.
Speaker 9: They're dear.
Speaker 2: Do they ever take the pizza out of your hand
Speaker 2: when you're on the subway or anything? No, No, you're lucky.
Speaker 1: Duluth was starting to grow on me, but there was
Speaker 1: just one problem.
Speaker 7: The idea that there's like a climate proof city is
Speaker 7: A it's not true at all, and B it's danger
Speaker 7: because every place on Earth is already experiencing climate impacts,
Speaker 7: and climate change is happening now and people are making
Speaker 7: huge life changing decisions.
Speaker 2: Because of it. Then what the fuck am I doing here?
Speaker 2: I left my wife and family for a week to
Speaker 2: come here, and it's not even a real climate refuge.
Speaker 1: No, damn, I knew the only thing that could cheer
Speaker 1: up this coastal elite was hitting the SPA. But unfortunately
Speaker 1: for me in Duluth, even the SPA is terrifying.
Speaker 5: We had to remove thirty inches of ice so that
Speaker 5: you can go jump in and.
Speaker 10: Oh my god, oh god, and your body.
Speaker 7: Is gonna tell you you're gonna die.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 5: But when you're retraining some of those neuropathways in our
Speaker 5: head to say, hey, I can handle hard stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can handle this, growing it. Maybe once I
Speaker 1: get used to it, the cold isn't so big.
Speaker 4: Who I'm prosing to the thick.
Speaker 1: Well, at least I can go back to New York. God, God,
Speaker 1: damn it, that's my car.
Speaker 5: In New York. You've got to have a side hustle,
Speaker 5: whether it's being a naked cowgirl or being an older
Speaker 5: naked cowgirl. But I recently learned about a new hustle
Speaker 5: that's actually helping the planet.
Speaker 4: The way to make some easy money get some video
Speaker 4: of a trucker idling in New York City. There are
Speaker 4: heavy fines for dirtying the air and so called idle
Speaker 4: Warriors get a share.
Speaker 5: To learn more. I met up with the Idle Warriors,
Speaker 5: a group of citizen vigilantes who are cashing in on
Speaker 5: this green gig. They say idle hands or the Devil's workshop.
Speaker 5: What made you decide to use your idle hands to
Speaker 5: stop idling?
Speaker 10: Over a seven million people die every year on this
Speaker 10: planet due to air.
Speaker 2: Pollution, and we could change this if we just turned
Speaker 2: our engines off.
Speaker 8: The anti idling law was created nineteen seventy one by
Speaker 8: City of New York, but it wasn't being.
Speaker 5: Enforced at all, So it's kind of like when white
Speaker 5: people do drugs.
Speaker 8: Per I thought that if citizens got an opportunity, they
Speaker 8: would do it.
Speaker 5: As an environmental attorney, Samara Swanston wrote a law allowing
Speaker 5: any Nark Yorker to report an idling vehicle and collect
Speaker 5: twenty five percent of the city fine. That's almost eighty
Speaker 5: eight bucks a pop. But what if I don't want
Speaker 5: a Karen on my Amazon driver?
Speaker 4: The companies are the ones who pay the fine. The
Speaker 4: drivers themselves do not pay the fine. It's the owner
Speaker 4: of the commercial vehicle, So.
Speaker 5: You're actually snitching on the companies.
Speaker 4: What we're actually doing is holding big companies like Amazon, Khan,
Speaker 4: Ed and Verizon accountable for polluting our air and literally
Speaker 4: killing people in New York.
Speaker 5: Yes, so cool.
Speaker 2: See an elementary school.
Speaker 5: I was always known as a cattle tail, But now
Speaker 5: I'm saying that that was just good training to be
Speaker 5: an environmentalist. Okay, so we're taking down the man, not
Speaker 5: my actual mailman. Clearly this isn't about the money, but
Speaker 5: we're all friends here. How much how.
Speaker 2: Much do you make?
Speaker 3: I know gentlemen that have made over one hundred.
Speaker 5: Thousand dollars a year. What wow. I'm not a mathematician,
Speaker 5: but if I take the sum of my cre card
Speaker 5: debt added to the cost of being a woman in
Speaker 5: America and multiplay by eighty four percent of what a
Speaker 5: man makes, and subtract the earnings from reporting on a
Speaker 5: dozen idling vehicles, I'm rich. How many people know about this?
Speaker 5: Am I getting in on the ground floor? Or is
Speaker 5: this like bitcoin where I'm going to have to cut
Speaker 5: my losses by selling my beanie babies.
Speaker 4: It's only about maybe twenty to thirty of us who
Speaker 4: are submitting the bulk of the complaints.
Speaker 5: I think we should just keep it between us. It's
Speaker 5: like an orgy. You don't want to advertise it to everybody.
Speaker 5: You want a small, dedicated group and hopefully Jake Jillenhall with.
Speaker 10: An orgy would think the more than marry I think,
Speaker 10: you know, we hope that everybody participates.
Speaker 4: Our ultimate goal is for idling to end. The best
Speaker 4: fame that we can get is clean air, money, clean.
Speaker 5: Air, actually clean air.
Speaker 10: There's so much idling going on that as long as
Speaker 10: you're in the right place, you can really get one
Speaker 10: after another.
Speaker 5: Let's snitch.
Speaker 8: We are gup revigial new workers looking out for the
Speaker 8: best pictures of our neighbors. I wrote the bill because
Speaker 8: I wanted to see a change in the future.
Speaker 5: I have a Nordstrom credit card that hasn't been paid
Speaker 5: off in seven years. Are they even in business anymore?
Speaker 5: What do I do? I'm ready to make some money
Speaker 5: a difference, make a difference.
Speaker 1: They have to keep your ears tuned to the sound of.
Speaker 6: Engines listening ears ears, yep.
Speaker 1: Then you use your iPhone to capture the headquarters address
Speaker 1: and the license plate.
Speaker 5: See these blinking lights here on this truck man.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's a good signal that they're idling.
Speaker 5: So you're so When I see these blinking lights.
Speaker 2: There's a goode here, just like that.
Speaker 5: And then how long do we do this for?
Speaker 1: For three minutes and ten seconds?
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's up long through your time.
Speaker 5: But I do this for three minutes.
Speaker 2: If you want to get paid, you'd have to do
Speaker 2: it right.
Speaker 5: Turns out activism is really boring and dehydrating. I'm just
Speaker 5: gonna pomp in for quick, Mark, Mark, that's fine. Confronting
Speaker 5: truckers takes balls. Luckily, George and I have those balls.
Speaker 3: I'm going to go and tell that driver that he's
Speaker 3: breaking the law.
Speaker 2: George.
Speaker 5: Yes, I just want you to know. Yes, I'm right
Speaker 5: here with you. I am right behind you. I got
Speaker 5: your back. Do you know why why? Because we're partners
Speaker 5: for life. Love it right behind you.
Speaker 9: You can we shut the engine off so you compliant
Speaker 9: with the law.
Speaker 5: I'm not with him. Quite a great team.
Speaker 10: So you think you've learned enough to go out on
Speaker 10: your own, Hugh, totally all right.
Speaker 2: I'm going to welcome you to become an idle.
Speaker 5: Warrior, George, you can count on me. After a full
Speaker 5: day of saving the earth, it was time to celebrate
Speaker 5: with my fellow warriors. This rounds on me. Here to
Speaker 5: the real superheroes. Protecting this planet. So when do we
Speaker 5: get paid.
Speaker 4: It takes about two years.
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm alcohol
