1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: It's that time. Time time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 2: The Michael Verie Show is on the air. 3 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 3: Let's have a conversation about democracy. We are not a democracy. 4 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,880 Speaker 3: I know that Ms. Evans, your junior year Civics teacher 5 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 3: told you that. I know that we have a love 6 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 3: affair with his idea that we take democracy to the 7 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: rest of the world, that democracy is good, that democracy 8 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 3: is battling communism. We believe in democracy because we're not Heathens, 9 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 3: and it is ingrained into Americans that we have a 10 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 3: democracy and we want everyone to have democracy because democracy 11 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 3: is wonderful. 12 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: Leaving aside for a. 13 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,759 Speaker 3: Moment that Iran did not have democracy when Shah Paulavi 14 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 3: was governing a very stable, relatively secular nation and democracy 15 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 3: led to the Muslim revolution, Islamist revolution that made that 16 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 3: the most dangerous country in the world today. That was 17 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 3: actually democracy. Disturbingly so, Egypt was a stable country and 18 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 3: the leader was deposed, overthrown, and pushed out for the 19 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 3: politically popular Muslim brotherhood. I think Morear was the name 20 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 3: of the replacement, and we knew it would happen. We 21 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: have seen democracy as such destroy certain countries, particularly fanatical 22 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 3: Muslim countries, and the concept of democracy per se needs 23 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 3: to be understood clearly. Now that's not a popular thing 24 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: to say, right, Hitler bad, Lincoln good. We like to 25 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 3: have very simple things that we can hold on to 26 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 3: because it simplifies things and then we can go to 27 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 3: the ball game and not have to worry about all 28 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 3: this heavy stuff. 29 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: Abe Lincoln is the greatest president ever because. 30 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 3: He is honest and he's he's honest as day as long, 31 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 3: and he's good. 32 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: Honest. Say we love all honest ave. 33 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: Well, what about what about the fact that honest Abe 34 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 3: had a general removed in Missouri or in anticipating the 35 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 3: slaves because he wasn't ready for that. I think it 36 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 3: was Fremont. Well, he's honest A as long as he's honest. A. 37 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 3: It's not to say that nothing we know is true. 38 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: Everything is untrue, and it's not my message. My message 39 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 3: is that we must be careful to understand what we're 40 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: talking about, and that complicated matters can be simplified. But 41 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 3: you and I, not the idiots, not the low information. 42 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 3: You and I have to think on a different plane 43 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 3: because we have to explain to the other folks how 44 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: the cowie to cabbage. To begin with, back to my 45 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: original point. We are not a democracy, pure and simple. 46 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 3: If we were, it would be like the ancient days 47 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: of Greece. We would be called to vote every other day. 48 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 3: It may feel like you're constantly having to vote. Instead 49 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 3: of Texas, right now, we have our non uniform election dates. 50 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 3: We're in the middle of an early vote for school 51 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 3: boards and all towns and mud boards and bonds and 52 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: things like that. 53 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: And you know, between the. 54 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: Every two years and every four years and off year 55 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: elections and all this stuff, it can add up. It 56 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 3: can seem like you're constantly voting, but you're not. Congress 57 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: is but you're not. If you were, you wouldn't be able 58 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: to do any work. So what we do is we 59 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 3: vote democratically demost meaning the people, the populace krussey crasy 60 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: meaning a government of So a theocracy is a government 61 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 3: of religion. So Iran would be not a pure democracy 62 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 3: per se, but a government by the Muslim governing authority. 63 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: A democracy would be a government of the people, we 64 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: like to say, but we would be voting all the time. 65 00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 3: So instead we vote for people, we call them representatives 66 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 3: in the lower House. We vote on them every two 67 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 3: years and then We vote every six years on senators, 68 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: two per state. That was part of the compromise, and 69 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 3: they serve for six years, and each of the states 70 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,799 Speaker 3: gets two senators, even if you only have one congressman. 71 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 3: So in the upper House, the Senate, every state is 72 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 3: represented with two senators, which means some states are a 73 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 3: bit overrepresented because they're very small. In states like California, Texas, 74 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 3: New York, and Florida are underrepresented because we have so 75 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 3: many people represented with only two people in the Senate, 76 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: whereas you get a state like Vermont or Idaho and 77 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 3: they get two senators, or Montana or Wyoming. 78 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: But that was the compromise. 79 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: The House is based on population, so we have a 80 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 3: democratic republic. We vote on people who then do all 81 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 3: the voting for us, and we may not like the 82 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: way they vote, but that's the process. Well, you and 83 00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 3: I know that the life of Donald Trump is not 84 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 3: as simple as we might like to believe. 85 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: You and I know that the life of. 86 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 3: Tom Brady or Bob Dylan or any number of other 87 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: people is quite unlike our own. Michael Phelps, Carl Lewis, 88 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 3: or a lot of people, and we probably wouldn't understand 89 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 3: their life. It would be quite different than our own. 90 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: We don't want to hear that because they're a celebrity 91 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 3: and we hate celebrity. I get that, and we don't. 92 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 3: And they're certainly not better than us. I'm not saying that, 93 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 3: but it is to say that they're different from us. 94 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 3: And one of the ways people at that level are 95 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 3: very different, and Elon Musk is a great example, is 96 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 3: that Elon has moved in and out of companies in 97 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 3: a very loose way for the last twenty five years, 98 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 3: on a scale you wouldn't imagine PayPal. For instance, Tesla 99 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: was a company that existed. He came into, took it 100 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 3: to the next level. And when he comes in, he's 101 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 3: twenty four to seven. He sleeps under a desk. He 102 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 3: puts a desk out in the middle of the floor, 103 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 3: the manufacturing floor, and he sleeps under there. 104 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: He also just happened to create a boring. 105 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 3: Company, which he quite tongue in cheek, called the boring 106 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 3: company that bores under ground to create tunnels. He created SpaceX, 107 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: which has surpassed NASA in space travel. It's absolutely amazing 108 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: the things that they've accomplished. He has created technologies neurolink 109 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: that could change everything about everything. He's been involved at 110 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 3: the top levels of AI and oh, by the way, 111 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 3: Starlink the greatest provider of internet access in the world, 112 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: especially to places that couldn't get wires, and we don't 113 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 3: even think about that. So when he came in to 114 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 3: do DOGE, it was never meant that he was going 115 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 3: to hang out there. This is not a guy who 116 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: has receptions and brings all his family photo in there. 117 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: It was in and out. 118 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: So when you're hearing people say, which I believe to 119 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 3: be true and always did, that he probably leaves in 120 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 3: the month of May. And now he has said it himself. 121 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: That's not rancor between him and the president. That's who 122 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 3: Elon Musk is. He's got. He's trying to take a 123 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 3: he's trying to take humans tomorrows. Don't let them tell 124 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 3: you the Trump administration's falling apart. 125 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 2: It's not. 126 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: The others is mccahilly and the girls all get pretty 127 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: closing time when you're listening to the Michael Berry. 128 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:35,559 Speaker 4: Show four Sweet Father, this dying, She'll soon be dead. 129 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: We're boiling. 130 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 4: Oh shuts. 131 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 5: Those rain bombs are falling on my head. 132 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 2: They keep falling. 133 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 4: Six hundred thousand horosia atomic bombs. 134 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 5: Exploding every day. I'm not exaggerating. 135 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,599 Speaker 4: Weird done food a forking us. 136 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 5: Those great bombs are falling on my head. They keep falling. 137 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 6: The accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat 138 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 6: as would be released by six hundred thousands erosimaglass atomic 139 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 6: bombs exploding every single day on the Earth. That's what's 140 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 6: boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and the rain bombs, 141 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 6: and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating 142 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 6: the droughts and melting the ice and raising the sea 143 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 6: level and causing these waves. 144 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 5: Of rain bombs falling on my head. 145 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: Bullion in this sentry four. 146 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 4: Sweet mother is dying.

I'm not much of a Whistler. 158 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: Thank you to Chance McLean for giving us that intro 159 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 3: to the story that they let al Gore out of 160 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 3: the nuthouse again to give yet another speech on global warming. 161 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 3: He didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling oceans this time, 162 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: but he did go with a proven losing Democrat strategy. 163 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 3: He compared the Trump administration two. You remember Godwin's law, right, 164 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 3: Hitler's Third Reich. 165 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 6: I want to note that before I use what is 166 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 6: not a president? I understand very well why it is 167 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 6: wrong to compare Adolf Hitler's Third Reich to any other movement. 168 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 2: It was uniquely evil, full stop, I get it. 169 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 6: But there are important lessons from the history of that 170 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 6: emergent evil, and here is one that I regard as essential. 171 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 6: In the immediate aftermath of World War two, a small 172 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,400 Speaker 6: group of philosophers who had escaped Hitler's murderous regime returned 173 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 6: to Germany and performed a kind of. 174 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 2: Moral autopsy on the Third Rich. 175 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 6: The most famous of the so called Frankfurt Stool of 176 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 6: philosophers was a man named Jurgen Habermas. Best known, I 177 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 6: would say, but it was Habermas's mentor, Theodore Adorno, who 178 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 6: wrote that the first step in that nation's descent into 179 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:10,439 Speaker 6: hell was and I quote, the conversion of all questions 180 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:16,960 Speaker 6: of truth into questions of power. He described how the 181 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 6: Nazis and I quote again, attacked the very heart of 182 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 6: the distinction between true and false end quote. The Trump 183 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 6: administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred 184 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 6: version of reality. They say Ukraine attacked Russia instead of 185 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 6: the other way around, and expect us to believe it 186 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 6: at home. They attack heroes who have defended our nation 187 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 6: in war and against cyber attacks as traders. They say 188 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 6: the climate crisis is a host invented by the Chinese 189 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 6: to destroy American manufacturing. They say coal is clean. They 190 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 6: say win turbanes called cancer. They say sea level rise, 191 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 6: this creates more. 192 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: Hold on, Hold on, you can laugh all you want. 193 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,839 Speaker 1: I do believe all that. Now, you can laugh all 194 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: you want. 195 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 3: You're that crazed poodle the massage the masseuse said sexually 196 00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 3: assaulted her. You're that crazy al gore. So you can 197 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 3: laugh all you want. They say it was created by 198 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 3: the Chinese. Yeah, yeah, and so was COVID. Yeah exactly. 199 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 3: We know who's paying your bills. You want to laugh 200 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 3: at opinions that we have, so be it. I do 201 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: think those things. I am unashamed that I think those things. 202 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 2: This creates more beachfront poverty. 203 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 6: Their allies and the oligarchic backlash to climate action argue 204 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 6: that those who want to stop using this guy as 205 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 6: an open sewer for God's sake need to be more 206 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 6: realistic and acquiesce through the huge increases and the burning 207 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 6: of more and more fossil fuels, which is what they're pushing, 208 00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 6: even though that is the principal cause of the climate crisis. 209 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: You know, al Gore never recovered from south Park. 210 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: Comedy is so powerful, especially at pointing things out that 211 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 3: people may not have noticed. South Park pointed out that 212 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 3: al Gore is not in on the joke. Al Gore 213 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 3: is the guy out there. You've been out with a 214 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: group of guys. You don't know him that well, but 215 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 3: there's one guy in the group and he's lying, yeah, well, yes, 216 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 3: it was. 217 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 1: A good hang out with you guy. You know, I 218 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 1: was in the Olympics. Oh you were. I was an Olympics. 219 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: I was an Olympics. I was a track star. I 220 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: saw you're white. 221 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 3: I pretty much know every white track star going back 222 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: fifty years actually maybe going back to Jesse Owens, even 223 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 3: some of the track stars from other countries. Which country 224 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 3: where us? 225 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: Really? 226 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: What year of eighty six? Where was eighty it was? 227 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 3: You mean eighty four? 228 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: You mean Los Angeles? And everybody you know, nobody says 229 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: you're a liar, you're a liar. 230 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 3: You just kind of shoot a sidelong glance and everybody knows. 231 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: Okay. 232 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 3: Al Gore is the guy that everybody knows is an 233 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 3: absolute buffoon except for him, and he just keeps going 234 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 3: at it like he's retarded. 235 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,520 Speaker 1: And South Park. 236 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 3: Exposed him, taking himself seriously so badly that he has 237 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 3: never recovered. 238 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: And he never will. 239 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 7: You see, there is something out there which threatens our 240 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 7: very existence, and maybe that into the human race as 241 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 7: we know it. I'm talking, of course, about Man Bear Pig. 242 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 7: It is a creature which roams the earth alone. It 243 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:14,920 Speaker 7: is half man, half bear, and half pig. Some people 244 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 7: say that man bear Pig isn't real. Well, I'm here 245 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 7: to tell you now, Man bear Pig is very real 246 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 7: and he most certainly exists. 247 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: I'm cereal. 248 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 7: Man bear Pig doesn't care who you are or what 249 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 7: you've done. Man Bear Pig simply wants. 250 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: To get you. I'm super cereal. 251 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: Remember when Rush Limbaugh debated al Gore on Nightline. 252 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: We'll play that coming up. That's a romp through some 253 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: good history right there. 254 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 8: Frozen putting on a stake, the Michael Berry shoe, Jello 255 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 8: brand pudding pops, maybe the goodness of real jello pudding. 256 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: Al Gore has been a climate nut for decades. 257 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: I miss Rush Limbaugh, I know you, miss Rush Limbaugh. 258 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 3: And by the way, let me say this. Sometimes people 259 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 3: will criticize Clay and Buck to me. And first of all, 260 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: Clay and Buck are friends of mine, good friends, dear friends. 261 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 3: I love them. But I also think you have to 262 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 3: understand that was the most coveted spot in radio. It 263 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 3: was also the spot that every single person was scared 264 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,919 Speaker 3: to death that they would have to follow Rush. And 265 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 3: you have to realize it, no matter who you put 266 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 3: in that position, that was going to be insanely tough. 267 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 3: And look, they're different than Rush, but so is everybody else. 268 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 3: So all all I would say is you don't have 269 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 3: to minimize other people to show your love for Rush. 270 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 3: Nobody is Rush. The boys would say that, Clein Buck 271 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 3: say that, So what everybody else. Hannity's not Rush, Glen 272 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 3: Bak's not Rush. 273 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 1: They're all different. You know. 274 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 3: I do ask me any things on Facebook sometimes and 275 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 3: I say, you know, prefer you make it a yes 276 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 3: or no question, and when you do it, don't ask 277 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 3: me to rank what is the best this or the 278 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 3: best that. I don't think in those terms. And the 279 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 3: reason is I think in terms. I'm all for winning 280 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 3: a trophy. If you win the championship, okay, who won 281 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: the championship that team, But when you ask me what's 282 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 3: the best bourbon or what's the best barbecue cut, or 283 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 3: what's this or what's that? The thing about it is 284 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 3: I stopped thinking that way a long time ago. Because 285 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 3: if this is the best restaurant and I decide it's 286 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,800 Speaker 3: the best restaurant and it goes out of business. 287 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 1: I'm bummed out right. 288 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,400 Speaker 3: So what I learned was to enjoy a lot of things. 289 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 3: It's a little more stoicism. I am a person of 290 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: deep Christian faith, but I think in a secular sense 291 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 3: there is something to be learned from meditation and from calm, 292 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 3: and from resetting and balancing yourself out. And I think 293 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 3: that understanding that you want to find joy in little 294 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 3: things and not indulge in anger. Well, one of the 295 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:32,880 Speaker 3: ways I found joy was gas station candy or little 296 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 3: things that I can enjoy that don't cost a lot 297 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 3: of money, that are plentiful, that are replaceable. So I 298 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 3: say all that because it's been bubbling up. I really 299 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,199 Speaker 3: miss Russe Limbaugh. I miss being able to you know, 300 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: our morning show ends at eleven AM, and then we 301 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 3: spend about an hour or so producing things for different 302 00:19:55,400 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 3: stations we have around the country, and then we typically 303 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 3: take a little break, maybe we'll go work out, maybe 304 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 3: go visit a show sponsor. And during that drive, I 305 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 3: would look forward to turning it on mid show and 306 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 3: seeing what Rush was talking about. Loved it so much 307 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,719 Speaker 3: fun And you know, you know, you take for granted 308 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,119 Speaker 3: it's free, So since you didn't have to pay for it, 309 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 3: you don't realize how much you valued it because you'd 310 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 3: never been forced to show that you valued it. 311 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: You got it for free. 312 00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 3: The cost of hearing Rush was listening to the show 313 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 3: sponsors in between, and hopefully spending your money with them 314 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 3: instead of somewhere else. And I know I spent money 315 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:35,640 Speaker 3: on the show sponsors. I believed in Rush. I wanted 316 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 3: to support the show. So anyway, I missed him so 317 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 3: much when he went off the air. And I was 318 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 3: so honored when Ali and the Guy Dean and all 319 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 3: the guys invited us to guest hosts on Christmas Eve 320 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: the year that he passed, and Clay and Buck were 321 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 3: taking a much needed vacation at the time. And you 322 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 3: know what, when the theme song started, you know, we 323 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 3: had prepared, we staffed up, we hired Jim Mudd, we' 324 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 3: kept on since then. When Russia's theme song started, they 325 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 3: were counting down for us. He said, all right, uh, 326 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 3: theme in five four three two one, but when it starts, 327 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 3: don't don't down on on on. Ramon looked at me 328 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 3: and he goes, I'm gonna be honest, I'm nervous. And 329 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 3: we had talked about we're going to be cool. We'll 330 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 3: be cool. How's Phonsie's cool? 331 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: Cool? Like Phonsie? Anyway, I just. 332 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 3: It's like my brother and my mom. When you lose people, 333 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 3: I like to talk about them. And I hope you 334 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 3: understand that. So here was Rush Limbaugh and Al Gore 335 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 3: in nineteen ninety two in a debate, and I just 336 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 3: love Rush. 337 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 8: Limbaugh got local environmental problem regional problems like acid rain. 338 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,120 Speaker 1: Now we've got a. 339 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 8: Whole new category of global or strategic problems, which include 340 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 8: the hole in the ode zone layer which now could 341 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 8: appear above the United States, global climate change, the destruction 342 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,479 Speaker 8: of the rainforest at a rate that means they'll be 343 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 8: totally gone in another few decades unless we've got the 344 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 8: pollution of the oceans and the atmosphere and the light. 345 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,120 Speaker 8: These represent brand new challenges that call for a new 346 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 8: kind of respond Russia. 347 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 9: I've listened to you many afternoons, as you know, and 348 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 9: you tend to I don't want to see you dismiss 349 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 9: all of these issues, but at least you dismissed them 350 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 9: as having been proven beyond the shadow of a death. 351 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: Well. 352 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 10: Absolutely, I don't think that there's anything conclusive about what 353 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 10: Senator Gore said, With all due respect, I think, for example, 354 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 10: there is no ozone hole over the United States. If 355 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 10: we want to get into the detailed discussion of ozone depletion, 356 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 10: we can. But I think ted that there is not 357 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 10: a crisis. 358 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: See, this is the problem I have. 359 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 10: I don't think the earth is fragile. I don't think 360 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 10: the ecology is fragilely balanced and I think that the 361 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 10: doomsday industry that is typified by members of the Hollywood 362 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 10: acting community who say we've only got ten years left 363 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 10: to save our planet. 364 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: We've got to act now. 365 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 10: There's no way if what these people say is true, 366 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 10: that we can solve these problems in ten years. Anyway, 367 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 10: it's budget time in Washington. NASA's being cut, and I 368 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 10: think that biness fright and the doom scenario is designed 369 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 10: to frighten people. Everything in this country today seems to 370 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 10: be a crisis. We can't do anything without it being 371 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 10: having to face it as a crisis. We don't have 372 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 10: any time to think about it. There are as many 373 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 10: scientists and maybe even more on the opposite side of 374 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 10: all of these doomsday predictions, and I think that that, oh, 375 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 10: yes there are that's not true. 376 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 8: If I can dump in there dead where the ozone 377 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 8: hole is concerned, for example, the linkage between these chemical 378 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 8: flora flora garments and the ozone hole is established. There 379 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,800 Speaker 8: may be one hundredth of one percent of the scientific 380 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 8: community that disputes it. 381 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, it's far more than that. 382 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 10: Has had that the environmental movements, as fueled by the 383 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 10: militants who lead it I think is the new home 384 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 10: of socialism. 385 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 8: The Ozone hole is threatening to open up above North America, 386 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 8: above in a bunk. And still we're not reacting. 387 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: I'll be careful. It's coming. 388 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 2: Al Gore says it's coming. 389 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: It's been coming since the seventies. 390 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 2: Something nice. 391 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: You can always say it on the Michael Ferry Show. 392 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 3: I told you earlier that Al Gore they let him 393 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 3: out of the nuthouse again. I mean, this couldn't be 394 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 3: any better, could it. Let's roll Joe Biden out for 395 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 3: another speech. No, he's killing the brand yep, how about 396 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,919 Speaker 3: Kamalas she wants to give a speech? No, what are 397 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 3: you gonna do? Stick with aoc. Bernie Sanders, that dude 398 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 3: with the crooked finger who points it all the. 399 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: Time, has that awful way of talking. 400 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 3: You know, they make my accent sound stupid, my Southern accent. 401 00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:51,479 Speaker 3: We're not very smart. Tell me you like Bernie sanders accent. 402 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 3: You tell me that sounds like a guy. That man 403 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,439 Speaker 3: he put his head so far up Marxist theories that 404 00:24:59,520 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 3: he came. 405 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: I better not so. 406 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 3: I told you earlier that they got al Gore out 407 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 3: on the And let's make room for Jasmine Crockett. Jasmin 408 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 3: Crockett said, we don't need to be worried about boys 409 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 3: and girls' locker rooms or boys being transitioned. That that's stupid. 410 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,159 Speaker 3: We need to stop that. You're going to get a 411 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 3: steady dose of Jasmine Crockett and AOC and Bernie Sanders 412 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 3: and Al Gore and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris because 413 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 3: you being aggravated by it, and other people who tune 414 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 3: in just to find out what's going on, realizing how 415 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 3: crazy they are. That's the point. There is a grand 416 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 3: strategy here. I mean, sure, I could play Milton Friedman 417 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 3: and Thomas Soul all day long. We could have a 418 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 3: party and talk about our core ideas and capitalism, but 419 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,720 Speaker 3: that's not how we motivate people to work. 420 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: Folk Anyway, I told you they let. 421 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 3: Al Gore out of the nuthouse to give another speech, 422 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 3: and I said, you know, at least this time he 423 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 3: didn't talk about rain bombs and boiling oceans. So I 424 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 3: got an email said, did he really talk about rain 425 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 3: bombs and boiling oceans? Do you think I would make 426 00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 3: that up? So Ramon went deep into the archives and 427 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 3: dusted this one off. This was Algorre speaking at the WEF. 428 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: That's the world. 429 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 6: We got a bombing for these emissions down. 430 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: Hey, used to hit that too early. 431 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 6: Bring it back, all right, go, We're going to bring 432 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 6: these emissions down. And just to put the science in 433 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 6: a slightly different context, people are familiar with that thin 434 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 6: blue line that the astronauts bring back in their pictures 435 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:44,399 Speaker 6: from space. That's the part of the atmosphere that has oxygen, 436 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 6: the troposphere, and it's only five to seven kilometers thick. 437 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 6: That's what we're using as an open sewer. If you 438 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 6: could drive a car straight up in the air at 439 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 6: interstate highway speeds, you get to the top of that 440 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 6: blue line in five minutes, and all the greenhouse gas 441 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 6: pollution would be below you. We're still putting one hundred 442 00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 6: and sixty two million tons into it every single day, 443 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 6: and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra 444 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 6: heat as would be released by six hundred thousand Heirosima 445 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 6: class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the Earth. 446 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 6: That's what's boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers and 447 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 6: the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the 448 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 6: land and creating the droughts and melting the ice and 449 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 6: raising the sea level and causing these waves of climate 450 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 6: refugees predicted to reach one billion in this century. Look 451 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 6: at the xenophobia and political authoritarian trends that have come 452 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 6: from just a few million refugees. 453 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: What about a billion? 454 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,479 Speaker 6: We would lose our capacity for self governance on this world. 455 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 1: We have to act. 456 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 6: So in answer to your question, I would say, we 457 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 6: have to have a sense of urgency much greater than 458 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 6: we have yet had and we have had, and we need. 459 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: To make some changes. You know what. 460 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 3: Ramon was laughing when we started into our second segment 461 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 3: and he said, you're going to do two segments on 462 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 3: al Gore. 463 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:07,880 Speaker 1: I didn't expect to do this. 464 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: I didn't, but al Gore poles so badly, and it's 465 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 3: so annoying, and so he's like herpies. You can't get 466 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 3: rid of him. He's like a roach that he's in 467 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 3: the news. And so I told Ramone, dig into the archive, 468 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 3: your choice, dealer's choice, pull out one of your favorite 469 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 3: al Gore's. 470 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: In the next hour, I promise we'll move to something different. 471 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: What a beautiful day. I know you want to go 472 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 1: do something. We could go to the beach. Nah, I 473 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 1: don't feel like swimming today. Maybe I could drive us 474 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: out to the country and we could go for a hike. Okay, 475 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 1: that's weird. I don't remember raining today's forecast. I know 476 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: it's really coming down. Look over there, is that a tornado? 477 00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: It is the hell is happening? I don't understand. 478 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 7: It was beautiful here just a minute ago. 479 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's an earthquake. What the heck is 480 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 2: going on? 481 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 6: Wait? 482 00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 2: I think I know why this is happening. 483 00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: Why what kind of car is this? 484 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 6: Is this? 485 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 2: It Ford f one fifty it. 486 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,680 Speaker 7: Is I love trucks, and I only try vehicles that 487 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 7: get low mileage to the gallon. 488 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,440 Speaker 2: Why, honey, this is at fault. When you started that car. 489 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 6: It created just enough carbon emissions and the atmosphere to 490 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,120 Speaker 6: set off a massive climate change crisis. 491 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: We're gonna die. 492 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: Oh no, this is all my fault. This is just 493 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 1: like what al Gore said when he tried to warn us. 494 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 2: Oh no, we should have gotten a prius.
