7:01 am
to unsure that american citizens who are there are safe. we're going to be talking to the director of the international red crosses in that region coming up. but first to the other major stories we're following. we are on top of the white house getting called out from all sides in what some are calling over the top hi pock i city as -- hypocrisy as the very state the biden administration is suing over floating border barriers to keep my grants out may now be trying to keep migrants in. president biden reportedly weighing a plan to force asylum seekers to remain in texas. as he faceses more but state backlash over the crisis spreading all over the nation. we've got a new york democrat who is fired up and key legal an us on the new -- analysis on the new border battle coming down. i'm david asman in for neil carew toe, this is "cavuto live." with we begin at the white house where president biden is taking
7:02 am
heat from all sides over his handling of the border. lucas tomlinson has more. hi, lucas. >> reporter: hi, david. first, there was donald trump's remain in mexico policy, now reportedly the biden administration floating the option of the remain in texas policy, a sign that maybe shipping migrants to blue states and so-called sanctuary cities is having an effect. a very candid admission in new york's mayor on the effect it's happening on the big apple. >> i don't see an ending to this. this issue will destroy new york city. >> we have been doing this in crisis mode. it's been just opening shelters, opening shelters. >> reporter: now, critics are calling out mayor adams and his apparent about face looking at his tweets two years ago saying new york will remain a sanctuary city. texas republicans are outraged about this potential policy change and wonder why it was the louis vuitton star the state that was chosen -- lone star state that was chosen.
7:03 am
representative tony gonzalez says president biden's trying to punish texas, and he says is there a new remain in new mexico or remain in california program? why is it texas? if governor greg abbott taking to twitter to respond to the apparent new policy saying, quote, this scam was tried years ago and was shot down by a judge. we'll send biden the same swift justice and add add even more buses of migrants to washington d.c. speaking of remain in texas, a federal appeals court late this week said that a 1,000-foot float thing barrier on the rye -- rio grande will be allowed to stay in place. the fifth circuit made the decision. this week the white house press secretary defended biden's border policies saying, quote, the president's done more to deal with the issue than anybody else. so, of course, here in the nation's capital we'll be looking for those additional buses full of migrants sent by governor greg abbott. david: lucas, thank you very much. you just heard aerowhat mayor
7:04 am
eric adams said, and he's once again blaming the federal government for not giving him more support. democratic new york assembly member ron kemp joins me to talk more about this. destroy the city, that's what major adams said about the current migrant crisis. do you agree? >> listen, david, we are in this blaming and pandering cycle because we no longer have the local, municipal or even state capacity to take care of people in high demand urban cities like new york city. migrants are not destroying our cities. it's uncompetent local administrations who are destroying -- incompetent local administrations because they're too busy outsourcing to nonprofits and third-party contracts to fix their problems. david: well, that's an interesting point, but the mayor specifically is going to the source of the problem, the border itself, and and blaming the president. do you as well? >> we, as lawmakers, we pass laws to right to shelter and
7:05 am
sanctuary cities. this is laws on the books for years now. it is the administrative role to administer the laws that we pass. if they can't do it -- and, by the way, like, giving nonprofits the power and third-party can contracts to administer the laws, that's not executing the laws. that's punting the problem down the the line, and that's what's been happening. it's our duty to protect the laws that we passed, and we are unable to do that, and that's why we're in this situation. we're blaming each other and using dangerous rhetoric that that may hurt not just migrants, but all immigrants. i'm an immigrant. i came here, and i have friends who came here through different pasts, you know? but they are all productive members of our communities, and for them to walk around feeling unsafe and targeted because of this nasty language that's coming out of the mayor's -- david: forgive me for interrupting, but i married an immigrant as well and brought her to new york, so, you know, i know what the situation's like.
7:06 am
but she came here legally. you came here legally. a lot of the migrants that are coming are not. in fact, there's also a question whether they have been properly vetted. this was a horrible innocent of a venezuelan migrant who was here, and i'm sure you read about it, who was involved in six crimes in the past two months that he's been in new york, most of them violent crimes. of course, there's another issue of him being just let out after committing violent crimes, but one he used a knife, another he dragged a woman across the street by her hair. i mean, are -- migrants are being let in who shouldn't have been let in, that's a problem, right? >> of course we don't want anyone who acts violently to be part of our communities. we want to hold them accountable. but for every one case, david, as you know, there are hundreds of others who are productive, who just want to get a job, who want to put food on the table. and we don't talk about those stories. but i see them all around us trying to fit in and trying to
7:07 am
compete. and that's the spirit that we're trying to foster in places like new york city. because without them there is no economy. if so are there has to be a balance here -- david: well, there, without law there is no society. and the question of whether people are coming in legally, being properly vetted is a serious issue. there's also a question, you mentioned the laws, and we are a sanctuary city as many cities around the country are, but the question of whether that acts as a lure to bring people in because combined with the right to shelter law which is decades old that we have here in which you're being forced to pay for food and shelter and medical care which is quite expensive, that's very dangerous. the mayor now is kind of waffling whether that law needs to be changed somewhat. even though he campaigned on it. he said when he was campaigning for mayor we should protect our immigrants, period. yes, new york city will remain a sanctuary city under an adams
7:08 am
administration. that's what he said when he was running for mayor. now he's wondering whether it's time for a change. >> yeah, he's trying -- he's passing the buck. i mean, i don't necessarily blame one mayor. he inherited a lot of problems, and it's an almost impossible situation. but he took the job and. when you compete for this job, you're supposed to administer the raws on the book. if -- the laws on the book. if you want to change the law, appeal it. that's your right -- david: by the way, he or already has proposed certain variations or change of the right to to shelter,s has he not? and i'm wondering whether -- where that is in the courts right now. so that might change. >> right. he's trying to use the courts to appeal components of the law, but don't be half into it. if you're against it, publicly come out against it and propose a law in albany to appeal those laws. he's not doing that. he's got one foot out, one foot in -- david: well, finally, everybody
7:09 am
starts out saying they're blaming each other, you're blaming the mayor now -- >> i'm not blaming the mayor. i'm holding him accountable for his job. david: -- history, those of thousands, millions of americans who have migration as part of their family, there are questions about whether people who are now here illegally are jumping over those folks who are trying for years, i have family members who have been trying for years to get a green card. now we hear the governor talking about getting work permits for those already here when e people who have been trying legally, millions of people, to do that for years are still waiting in a queue, is that fair? >> we don't -- it is hard to not pit one community against another, and there are immigrants that are feeling frustrated, as you pointed out. david: millions. millions of pie grants -- migrants who have been doing hinges the legal way -- >> we can pander the fear to push communities g. david: it's the not fear, it's a
7:10 am
matter of what is right, what is wrong, what is legal and what is not. >> i don't believe any person -- and i grew up in a very religious household. i don't believe any human being that comes to our neighborhood is illegal. i don't describe them as illegal. we are all god's children. we have to -- david: but we have laws, and we have millions of people -- [inaudible conversations] david: -- playing by the laws and the rules, don't they deserve -- jumping over what they've been doing. >> there are more immigrants that are still waiting to get their benefits that are willing to extend an extra hand. that is the buy toy of -- beauty of being in a neighborhood of immigrants. they're struggling, but they also don't want to pull up the ladder. they want to extend the ladder so other people -- david: assemblyman, we have to go, but one of the beauties of america is we can agree to disagree, and thank god we have that right. i really appreciate you coming in today. great to see you. >> i appreciate it.
7:11 am
thank you. david: thank you very much. well, forget remain in mexico. how about remain in texas? president biden reportedly weighing a plan that would force asylum seekers to stay in the border state while they wait to be processed. would that even be legal? with me now is former federal prosecutor katie cher kousky. katie, the irony of this is extraordinary. at the same time that the biden administration is suing texas for keeping migrants out, now they're i trying to force texas to keep migrants in. i mean, it's, like, what is it? which way is it? you can't have it both ways, can you? >> well, it's the height of absurdity, i think, that that we're even talking about what is illegal when the federal government, the biden administration managers has engaged in so much illegality, refusing to enforce federal immigration laws. so to the extent that the biden administration has floated this idea of keeping immigrants or asylum seekers in the state of texas pending the resolution of those claims, logistically i
7:12 am
don't even see how that would be possible. and legally speaking, again, it is the height of absurdity, in my mind, to suggest that they could force them to do so when they have no practical means to even carry out such plans. david: by the way, the lawsuit against texas by the federal government, texas just wants to patrol its own border because they say the federal government is not doing it. there's a lot of evidence that a that's true. so if the federal government is not doing its job, how can the federal government sue texas for trying to do the job that the feds if aren't doing? >> well, that's exactly the the issue that we run into here. the federal government has the ultimate authority to enforce immigration laws. states are really left at the behest of federal policies here. so there is really no good answer to that. and the only answer is that the laws that are on the books should be enforced. at this point the administration
7:13 am
has conceded they have absolutely no resources to on come close to doing something like that. so i don't know that there's a clear legal answer and certainly not a practical answer. david: so where does this lawsuit go? the lawsuit from the feds against texas? >> well, in terms of the lawsuit saying that texas can't bus immigrants out of the state, again, the federal government theoretically has full authority over immigration policy. there is some precedent back in the late '80s regarding texas and essentially with the same issue not wanting to keep immigrants in state at the time, and and there was a district court that agreed with that. so i think from a pure legal perspective the federal government might have a strong argument, but practically speaking i just don't know the enforcement and how that would even play out. cade david by the way, there's another question about what's going to happen to dhs secretary mayorkas who is claiming under oath that, in fact, the border was closed when there's a lot of
7:14 am
evidence it's not. what's happening with that? is congress serious about sanctioning him in some way for saying something that basically wasn't true? >> well, i think that it's very clear to the american people that there's been mistruth can and straight lies that have been put out there by the secretary. i don't know whether they're going to take action moving forward with that, but it is the abundantly clear to the more than people that this situation is out of control, that the administration has taken no action to even remotely attempt to doing something honestly -- to do something honestly to resolve these issues. again, i don't know about congress' position on that, but with i think it's clear to the american people. david: three words sum it up, it's a mess. [laughter] it really is a mess any way you look at it. >> absolutely. david: katie, thank you, appreciate it. president biden talking up the global economy with g20 the leaders this weekend, but will his latest ban on drilling send

david: hurricane lee slowing down after reaching cat five strength yesterday. and while it's not expected to make a direct mitt to the east coast, states are still bracing for the effects of the atlantic storm. fox weather is your hurricane headquarters for all things tropics and weather news, stream it on fox on your favorite connected device always. and rick reichmuth is here to give us details. rick, they went right over your intro. here is the man himself, i was waiting for that. rick reichmuth is here to give you details. rick: fox weather is amazing, you really should stream it on your connected quite. download it, stream it wherever you want -- david: but we don't want to skip
7:19 am
rick reichmuth. rick: i'm going over will the right now, david. amazing, all time live weather going on on fox weather. right now we're talking about lee, had really strengthened so quick hi into a category five storm and it's been weakening again on satellite imagery, got some sheer that's broken it apart a little bit. hurricane force winds 40 miles from the center -- the about 30 miles from the center, is all. not a huge tomorrow at this point. it's causing some really big waves across parts of the lesser an lille tease, eventually across parts of puerto rico. be with careful if you're on any of those beaches, and u.s. beaches starting tomorrow. so watch what happens here, the water temperatures in the short term, next five days or so, really conducive for more strengthening. it probably will strengthen back up just a little bit. then you notice this slightly lighter orange color, water temperatures do do decrease a little bit. these are models that you've
7:20 am
heard us talk about the european and the american models. what we do is we take both of those, and instead of initiating the starting point where the storm is, they take this and move that starting point around a little bit, around the center and say, hey, what happens as we go out in time if we have a slightly different starting point of the storm. and it give gives us better confidence in what happens over time. so this is how they're all looking, they've been consistently staying offshore. you notice there's a couple of them across participants of new england. that's why we're not able to say we're going to rule out impact towards parts of new england. we need to watch this. it's also around 7-9 days from now, so a very time to watch this one. a slow mover in the short term, eventually takes this right-hand turn as those models were showing you. not expecting landfall anywhere here along the the southeast coast, it's really new england9 and the canadian maritimes that are potentially still in the track of this, but again, 7-9 days there if now.
7:21 am
we've got a lot of time to watch it, and we'll keep telling you about it right here and on fox weather. dave, take a look at this, major wave action coming to the eastern seaboard again. and we've had hurricane franklin, we had idalia, and beth of those storms brought incredible waves and rip currents that have been deadly this year. some people still trying to get out to the beaches, be really careful starting tomorrow we're going to have big rip currents all up and down the eastern seaboard. best if you stay out of the water if you can. david? david: watch fox weather and watch, never miss rick reich muth when you see him coming. he's also got a great umbrella. good to see you, rick, thank you very much. next to new delhi, india with, where president biden is meeting with g20 leaders on the global economy. but a top competitor is missing from the talks. and later, another labor strike blooming that could drive car prices even higher.

7:26 am
>> reporter: it's thed leader of china that you're referring to there, david. we learned on this trip that president biden and xi, who go way back, have not communicate with each other since november. that means that china flew a spy craft over the u.s., president biden ordered it shot down, and even then nothing. and for the president, not seeing him here kind of a bummer. >> reporter: president biden, has president xu's absence impacted -- xi's absence impacted the summit? >> it'd be nice to have him here. >> reporter: something the president really wants to do here in new delhi, reform the world bank, give 70-plus developing nations a place to go for loans so they don't wind up on the hook owing banks in beijing all a that-high -- ultra-high interest. >> this isn't about buying anything off. it's helping provide, through multilateral development banks like the world bank and the imf,
7:27 am
high value and transparent loaning opportunities for lower and middle income countries. many of them are coming, you know, they're involved in transactions that when the bills are coming due, they're not able to pay. and they're suffering from that. >> reporter: there were too many disagreements among the leaders here in new delhi about the russia and ukraine war, so in the joint declaration they put out, there is no condemnation of putin or russia for being aggressive there. in fact, the language has changed since the last g20 declaration. now it because not reference a war against ukraine, just a war many ukraine. in you know. it's subtle but it's noticeable. david? david: peter, safe travels to you, my friend. thank you very much. well, with chinese president xi's absence, can president biden counter china's economic influence among the g20? joining me now, gatestone
7:28 am
institute senior fellow gordon chang, and he's right here in studio. gordon, thank you very much. well, behind all those smiles and the glad-handing that you see in these things, what do you think the g20 members think about who's in ascendancy, whether it's the u.s. or china? >> well, generally, the narrative has been china. but right now, the last couple weeks especially, there's been concern about the troubles inside of beijing because it's become evident. purges at the chinese military, purges in the foreign ministry, other unexplained developments, and it's begin a lot of people pause because xi jinping is not in new delhi. it could be very well that he wants to snub the indian prime minister -- david: or president biden. >> -- or snuck bind, but probably it's because he feels there are too many adverse or developments in beijing for him to leave china. david: the economy really is slacking. things like real estate, hundreds of billions of dollars of real estate that's just sitting there and in a malaysia, some of the projects they've
7:29 am
been doing around the world. which leads me to something called the belt and road campaign which they've been on for about ten years now with president xi. they go to these foreign countries and and offer them everything with no-interest loans, etc., but people now are having second thoughts about it in africa, in latin america because they do in -- go in, sometimes they bribe some leaders. they take out whatever they want, and they end up taking much more than they give. >> yeah. well, actually, this month is the tenth anniversary of the announcement of the belt and road program. and next month if there's going to be a belt and road symposium in beijing, and is leaders are going to go to the chinese capital, but nobody really expects there's beginning to be more chinese money. they're just going to try to delay thing. as you point out, belt and add road have is having real problems. they've built a lot of infrastructure that the private market would not touch, and we're seeing those bills come due, and will the the imf ball
7:30 am
out countries that are having problems? david: having said all of that, a lot of companies rely on the consumers in china, and we saw apple get hit this week very hard. it was down about $200 billion in market capitalization as a result of china announcing they weren't going to buy any more iphones for government workers, and then they doubled that by saying we're not going to allow people who work for chinese companies affiliated with the government to have the iphones. so that took a big chunk out of apple's market. what they're doing is they're fighting back against our attempts to stop tiktok and huawei, and that's going to the hurt a lot of companies, right? >> investors have just not been paying attention because the chinese central government has not been allowing government workers to use e iphones at work. so this is really more apparent if than substance. but the point is this occurred at the same week that you have the huawei's announcement of its mate 16 pro which is supposed to be this breakthrough phone. this is a concerted communist
7:31 am
party campaign to promote huawei and to undermine apple. and, you know, investors or have got to understand there's going to be more of these announcements going forward. apple's going to have some real troubles in china. david: but meanwhile, huawei -- which does a lot of different things technologically that involves cell phones including some of these cell phone towers and everything -- huawei is integrated in a lot of our use of cell phones in the united states. is that a problem, and if so, how do you get them out of there? >> the fcc has a program of ripping and replacing, and that is going to continue for another couple years especially in rural areas. but in the global south as it's called, you know, huawei is there, and it's going to control 5g communications. david: wow. >> and we have helped it by having ineffective sanctions on huawei. that mate 60 phone benefits from the failure of u.s. sanctions. tough david and quickly, tiktok. millions of americans love tiktok. there have been hearings, but are we going to get rid of them?
7:32 am
quick, yes or no. >> probably not. david: gotta leave it at that. gordon, thank you very much. president biden nixing oil and gas leases in alaska, so is out about to send energy prices soaring? and a school board meeting getting heated ahead of the vote on requiring parents to be notified if their child asks to change gender identities at school. how that's playing out next. [inaudible conversations] >> no one should be keeping secrets from parents. parents not the -- are not the enemy. >> the only thing the that you are doing is damaging the lives of the children that you are inflicting this upon.
7:36 am
>> you cannot claim to be inclusive while excluding parents. >> let's allow the parents to be the parents. >> the only thing that you are doing is damaging the lives of the children that you are inflicting this upon. >> the parents are not the enemy. please stop vilifying the parents. >> what you're doing effectively outing children, it's hateful. >> i'm going to say it for the hundredth time, we're not anti-lgt. >> whoever it is that wants to take our parents' rights, no! david: wow. parents facing off at an orange county, california, school board meeting this week, and after hours of debate, the district approved a policy that requires school officials to notify parents if their child wants to change gender identities. william la jeunesse has all the details for us.
7:37 am
>> reporter: well, david, if governor newsom and the state attorney general thought they could intimidate conservative school boards with a legal threat, they were wrong. six districts statewide have now defied warnings from the state to adopt policies that require school officials notify parents when their child identifies as transgender. >> gay, straight the, trans, queer -- [inaudible] >> leave our kids alone! >> reporter: after shouting and a scuffle, supporters scare -- squared off with members of the revolutionary communist party. three school board members ultimately walked out, the remaining four passed the resolution, dismissing opponents who wanted trustees to wait for a court ruling. >> kids are trying to figure their stuff out, and they do not feel safe exploring, talking the to their family are. but school is a safe place where they can explore, figure out who
7:38 am
they are. >> this policy -- [inaudible] we have in this country that parents have a9 fundamental right to provide the care, custody can and control of their children. [cheers and applause] >> reporter: nationwide under 2 of teens identify -- 2% of teens identify as transgender, yet the issue is driving a cultural wedge in many districts. the resolution in orange sought to achieve some middle ground. parental notification would be automatic for students urn age 12, but -- under age 12. but unlike some other districts, school counselors could decide to inform the family or not if the teen objects. >> it has nothing to do with the communication with the parents and everything to do with the witch hunt for the kids and outing kids is harmful and dangerous. >> it's t not about outing anyone, it's about protecting parental rights and about protecting the relationship between children and parents. >> reporter: now, on wednesday this past week a judge
7:39 am
temporarily blocked a similar notification policy saying it endangers transgender students. the hearing is scheduled next month. david? david: william, thank you very much. now to the biden administration abruptly canceling oil and gas with leases on millions of acres of a land in alaska. with oil prices already rising thanks to saudi arabia and russia extending production cuts, could this move cause even more pain at the pump? john hancock investment managements' emily roland and democrat strategist crystal knight join me now. ladies, thanks for being here. emily, lots of questions whether this move was actually legal or not because part of the law, part of a 2017 tax law that kind of was part of that package, and the president unilaterally dismissed that law. does he have the right to do that? >> yeah. we don't have an edge on that one, a although he can certainly say the energy policy in the u.s. has been a little bit of a
7:40 am
mess, if you will. i would say no though from an economic perspective these leases along with the opec production cuts that you referred to are going to reek havoc on the -- wreak havoc on the u.s. consumer. the consumer's coming into the last few months of this year on thin ice. borrowing costs aren incredibly prohibitive right now when it's auto loans or mortgage rates at 8% or credit card interest rates averaging 21% across the nation right now. we also have the resumption of $1.1 trillion in student loan payments coming up many october, and finally, we're seeing cracks in the labor market as well. remember, the u.s. consumer are represents two-thirds of the economy and, frankly, it's been the bright spot of the u.s. economy. the consumer has been what has really helped us not tip into a recession, and higher gas prices act as a cap on the u.s. consumer. not a great time for that. day e david they do. and, crystal, the point is
7:41 am
finally it seemed that we were getting a little bit of a handle on inflation. it was still increasing, prices still increasing but at a slower level. and now not only regular unleaded is going up, but looked at a diesel. the the price of diesel in august went up 42 cents a gallon. that is a huge increase and, you know, you think of all the things that diesel is used in from trucking to farming, that is eventually going to mean more inflation and perhaps an uptick in inflation. this movement about alaska comes at a prettied bad time. >> well, i don't think that the move comes at a bad time. i think, you know, gas prices, if they're going up, that they're going up. and one move by the administration by canceling a lease on protected land which should have never been in place by the trump administration, that won't automatically trigger gas prices going up across the whole of america. particularly when there are other places in this country
7:42 am
that welcome drill. we can drill -- we can drill. we can drill in texas can and new mexico. those are more accessible lands that have already been identified by the department of the interior. and so the question for me really is why do we want to drill on protected land when local prescribes have are already stated that they do not want this drilling to take place, and there are other areas, other states in our country that already have accessible bl, prime land for us to continue building more oil reserves? said david all right. to make it clear though, this wasn't a move unilaterally by the trump administration, it was a law that was approved by congress. but i want to go, emily, to you again. just listen to a trucker talking about the cost of all these new epa rules which also put a strain on diesel truckers. roll tape. >> the entire supply chain will be dead in the water. and it's catastrophic. it's cats pick.
7:43 am
this is not an option especially for the food ply chain of america. david: so could we have these supply chain problems again because diesel truckers are going to run out of fuel? >> yeah, there's absolutely the potential for that. and, look, the energy sector is incredibly important in the u.s., and we're doing well. there's a manufacturing renaissance happening right now, and ev production and green energy, the initiatives are a part of that. we're doing great on a global competitive basis. the challenge is we're just not ready for it. we're not ready e for 100% electronic vehicles. listen, i can give you lots of stories about me not getting to the right mace at the right time because of being reliant on an electric vehicle. we're going too far, too fast, many examples here -- david: we've gone so fast, we've run out of time. crystal, you're coming back, and we're going to give you the first crack next time so we're fair and balanced here. that. [laughter]

and i realized i couldn't fly being the size that i was. my sister-in-law tried golo and had lost 50 pounds, so i thought i'd give golo a try. i didn't expect the results i got on golo. i was hopeful, but i did not expect it to be like this. golo just makes sense. this plan works.

david: so we just saw what happened when climate protesters disrupted the u.s. open, glueing their feet to the floor, but it's not just there. other activists week throwing a pie in the face of an airline ceo and crashing a new york fashion show. are their disruptive tactics helping or huring hair cause? exceed january allie breed joins me now. a tennis tournament, interrupting a tennis turn tournament, throwing paint at masterpiece paintings, are they hurting their cause by their actions? >> yeah, absolutely. i don't think that they're
7:54 am
getting any support from either side by doing this stuff. it also makes no sense. tennis is one of the most carbon-friendly sports you can play. they should go to a nascar race and see what happens to them. that would be fantastic. i'd support that. david: god help them if they try it at a nascar event. you know, i glueing your feet -- sometimes in order to get their feet out or their hands, sometimes they do it with their hands, they lose digits. there have been occasions where in order to get them away from the concrete he was to actually -- they are, like, martyrs to a cause. in other words, the causes are becoming a religion are, right? >> absolutely. but they're not martyrs. i don't know who is looking up to them for losing a finger. if you lose are it by glueing yourself to a tennis stadium and delay someone's dream from coming true while people are watching, it's ridiculous. i mean, they should also consider going to china or india or russia or the places that are actually causing the most

pollution is and trying to protest there and see how that fares -- david: actually, the person who glued -- the guy at the tennis tournament, he was actually sent to a psych ward first before, i guess before they booked hip. they sent him to the psych ward. but what's interesting is that these causes are kind of bumping into each other. i'm talking about the whale issue, the save the whale issue. it used to be everybody on the left was save the whales, now it turns out that sindh windmills may be hurting or even killing whales, you have this fight between causes where the save the whales people are against the green people because of the windmills. >> yeah. they're eating their own. it's getting so ridiculous. every solution just causes another set of problems, it seems, and, you know, the people just get angrier and angrier. their cause is their religion because even if it stops making sense, they just is stick to it. it's going to get craze ier and crazier. and the problem is they are getting the attention that they
7:56 am
want, but they're getting it for themselves. they're not getting it for their cause. we're talking about them, but we're not doing it in a positive way where we're going to help the environment. david: it eventually comes back to common sense, didn't it? the fact is they are hurting their cause, they are losing people. it's just -- folks, walk up. it's common sense. >> yeah. david: if you have a cause, fight for it in a way that you're going to get people with you, not have more people against you. >> and be reasonable about the cause. you can't just go to zero fossil fuels immediately, you know? they're using phones, they're a wearing rubber-soled sneakers, they're doing things that require toes -- fossil fuels too. you can't just all of a sudden say, hey, someone threw a pie, let's get rid of fossil fuels completely. that's never going to happen. i don't know what they're trying to accomplish here. david: ahli, thank you for putting it in perspective. good to see you, or appreciate
