TOUGH CURRICULUM AND THEN THERE

RHODE ISLAND BECOMES FIRST STATE
TO SUIT WORLD LARGE PEST OIL
COMPANIES OVER THERE LEAD ROLE
IN CLIMATE CHANGE.
ALL RISE TO JUDGE AND NAPOLITANO

BIT CITIES OF SPHRIRVEG AND
OAKLAND AGAINST THE SAME OIL
COMPANIES AND A FEDERAL JUDGE
THE CASE ARE WANTING THIS IS A
YOU KNOW, IN ORDER TO HOLD THE
OIL COMPANIES LIABLE FOR CLIMATE
CHANGE AND THUS EXPENSES
INCURRED BY THE STATE OF RHODE
ISLAND TO ADDRESS THIS CLIMATE
CHANGE.
HAVE TO PASS MUSTER.
JUDGE WOULD HAVE TO SAY OKAY A
JURY LOOKING AT THIS COULD COME
COUNTRY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF
THE CLIMATE CHANGE CROWD.
COULD NOT PROVE BUT SAME THING
WILL HAPPEN IN RHODE ISLAND AND
IN FACT YOU COULD ARGUE THIS
RHODE ISLAND CASE IS FRIVOLOUS
BECAUSE IT WILL BE --
GOVERNED BY WHAT WAS FOUND IN
CALIFORNIA.
>> ISN'T THERE SOME SORT OF
REPORT --
OR LEAD REPORT THAT EXXONMOBIL
ACKNOWLEDGED EXISTENCE OF
CLIMATE CHANGE ULTIMATE SMOKING
GUN HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THAT?
AND WHETHER OR NOT EXXONMOBIL
UPON EXXONMOBIL VIABILITY FOR
THE CONSEQUENCES OF CLIMATE
POLITICAL LAWSUIT INTENDED TO
PERMIT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT
TO SAY TO THEIR BASE LOOK WHAT
WE'RE DONG TO TRY TO RECOUP YOUR
MONEY SEAM IS THE LAWSUIT IN
CALIFORNIA.
ALL IT DID WAS WASTE LEGAL FEES.
LEGAL FEES ARE BEING SPENT.
LOSER PAY --
AND THAT EVER COMES TO AMERICA
I'M FIRST ONE ONBOARD.
I DOUBT THEY'LL IMPOSE IT IN
RHODE ISLAND.
>> WOW.
I GUESS MAYBE THE TOBACCO
SITUATION MAYBE GAVE THEM HOPE
THIS COULD MAKE IT THROUGH.
SM LOOK, THE TOBACCO LITIGATION
WAS A WIN FALL FOR THE STATE
GAVE THE STATE FREE CARE TO
SPEND HOWEVER THEY NORMALLY
SPEND.
>> I HAVE ANOTHER REAL FUN ONE
FOR YOU ONE OF YOUR FAVORITE
RECORDING ARTIST MADONNA SHE
LOST HER LEGAL CHALLENGE IN NEW
YORK.
RULE THAT SAYS THAT MADONNA
CAN'T HAVE ANY FAMILY OR STAFF
AT HER APARTMENT WHEN SHE'S NOT
THERE, JUDGE, CAN A CO-OP BOARD
SAY IF YOU'RE NOT THERE YOUR OWN
KIDS CAN'T BE THERE?
>> AND THIS IS REALLY --
>> WHAT KIND OF PARTY --
>> THIS IS UNIQUE IN NEW YORK
CITY IF YOU OWN A CO-OP YOU
DON'T OWN THE REAL ESTATE YOU
OWN SHARES OF STOCK IN THE
ENTITY THAT MANAGES THE THE
BUILDING.
AND THE COURTS HAVE GIVEN THESE
COOPERATIVE CORPORATIONS AS
THEY'RE CALLED HERE IN NEW YORK,
UNIQUE AUTHORITY TO REGULATE THE
ON IN THIS APARTMENT.
IT'S --
A MAGNIFICENT APARTMENT.
GOING ON WITHOUT HER THERE.
AND SO HER --
FELLOW STOCK OWNERS WHO ARE HER
NEIGHBORS GOT TOGETHER AND SAID
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY
PARTIES OR ANYBODY IN THE
APARTMENT UNLESS THE OWNER IS
THERE.
QUITE FRANKLY THAT'S UNHEARD OF
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE --
HAD HER END OF THE ECONOMIC
SCALE, HAVE SKELETON STAFFS THAT
STAY IN OR MAINTAIN APARTMENT
THINK ABOUT YOUR OWN
HOUSEKEEPERS MIGHT BE IN YOUR
APARTMENT WHEN YOU'RE NOT THERE.
NOT IN THAT BUILDING BECAUSE OF
>> HOW BIG IS --
[INAUDIBLE CONVERSATIONS]
THEY HAVE TO KNOW.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS
IN THERE?
>> WELL THEY HAVE SECURITY.
SOMEONE AT THE DOOR, DOORMAN,
CAMERAS THE DESK, THE SECURITY.
BUT THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS WILL
DO TO SHARES STOCK IN THAT
COOPERATIVE.
