| 0:00.0 | Before today's episode, I have to say that there was an announcement that I utterly failed to make |
| 0:04.4 | until now, but I do want to make it just barely in the nick of time. If you are hearing this episode |
| 0:09.5 | on or before September 24th, that day is an international day of action on climate change, |
| 0:16.4 | which you could take part in. This is organized by 350.org, in my opinion, the most powerful and |
| 0:23.4 | influential and important organization on climate change in the world. For more details and to get |
| 0:29.9 | information on an event, almost certainly happening in your neighborhood no matter where you live in |

| 1:26.0 | They're doing it the cost of literally billions upon billions of dollars of medical cost |
| 1:32.0 | born by the American public. They're doing it the cost of productivity, the cost of kids suffering |
| 1:37.6 | with asthma, and they're not even offering that the get for the country is that somehow this is |
| 1:45.5 | going to be economically helpful because there's no evidence to that. This is exclusively |
| 1:52.1 | for the reason and it's clear from these articles that show a Bill Daly's involvement in this, |
| 1:58.3 | this is exclusively for the reason essentially to gain more money. This is the money in this country |
| 2:05.8 | when you're talking about the wealth concentration where 1% of the country is controlling 40% of the |
