0:00.0	Mr. Chief Justice Burger and may it please the Court, the Sierra Club brought this proceeding
0:06.6	against the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior to establish that their plans to
0:11.4	offer rise a huge, private, recreational development at Minimal King, were illegal.
0:21.2	Hey everyone, this is Leon from Fiasco and Prologue Projects.
0:25.5	On this week's episode of Five to Four, Peter, Riannan, and Michael are talking about Sierra
0:30.7	Club V Morton. In this case, the Sierra Club brought a lawsuit to prevent development in a
0:36.0	federally owned wilderness area called Minimal King. Minimal King was a beautiful is, a beautiful
0:42.7	high basin in the Sierra Nevada's, and it was an area that the Walt Disney Corporation was
0:48.0	interested in exploiting as a ski area. The Sierra Club sued to block permits allowing the project
0:55.2	to go forward, but their claim was rejected, not because the Court determined that there was no

1:42.6	But in case you haven't heard, there is a group of Orcas out there in Europe led by a single
1:52.0	Orca nicknamed white Gladys, sinking boats, like attacking boats in an coordinated fashion. There's
2:00.0	a theory that perhaps white Gladys experienced some trauma at the hand of a boat and is seeking revenge
2:08.8	to the tune of hundreds of attacks and several vessels sunk. That's right. She's teaching her
2:17.6	comrades how to do it. This is mother behavior. This is icon behavior. That's right. Real five
2:23.6	foreheads will know that I fucking love Orcas. That's right. Favorite animal by far. I'm obsessed
