more on this front joined by neil king from v.w. environment he's host of the podcast on the green fence and the all those the drop in c o 2 emissions we're seeing during this pandemic give us any reason to hope that we might be getting a grip on climate change. well 1st of all i think it's very important that we make a distinction between c o 2 emissions and c o 2 concentrations that's the level of c o 2 in the air because even if we have you know record drop in emissions this year the international energy agency is predicting 8 percent for the overall year that's about 2600000000 tons that's a huge drop it doesn't mean that the levels stop growing in fact experts say we would have to cut human made c o 2 emissions by 50 percent if we wanted to initiate a trend it's a bit like a ball stop you know shoot off the top running both up the levels but still rise the only way to actually turn things around is to switch off the top a switch off the top on you that's a carbon neutral economy and society will get us where we need to be. with

your cities have to ban it they have to be tuned down the national you because you had a king and we captured neil peacefully you had a chance the end he decided not to and this is you these are your chickens coming home to an exodus of this narrative both good protesters and by protesters and you know well you know we're on your side but we don't understand you know we don't really understand the argument when people start showing their rage through burning something things on fire and what you make of this the strike this time to divide the protesters up like this i personally didn't write i wouldn't lose i wouldn't burn a building down but that is their right as american citizens to demonstrate how they think i think their peaceful protest is a much better option but the american people have left them no other recourse other than to burn down their cities but what do you think anything is changing i mean look what is the we have told trumpet office we have the police with varying force was getting more militarized even just in the locally here is it are you seeing the beginnings of time no abso

martin luther king jr., so much more, best-selling author. what he think of this? >> neil, hello.nd i have had this conversation many times. i told you that many of our arguments are based on skin color or trying to be color-blind and say that we don't see each other. of course we see each other. regardless of our skin color, our blood is red. we are human beings. when you learn to value the human personality, you won't kill anybody. we are fighting over statues now and whose statue should be up and who should be not. that can become idols regardless to whether we like the person depicted or not. if you want to take one statue down, you would have to take all statues down. that is not going to work. at the gentleman that you just had showing that, why don't we leave them up and find out why we were there, what we have learned from that? perhaps place a plaque. this is when americans do not understand that we are one human race. we get that now. i don't believe that we should fight over the statues. i do feel like statues can be idols. some people idolize dr. martin luther king jr.

king jr. was talking about when he said we need a revolution in our values. and then -- >> neil: i don't believe that he ever talked about disbanding police departments. i want to get what you think is going on where a number of police departments across the country has added to, a minute. we are not all awful. we are not all doing what happened at the george floyd. there is even talk of a stick out of law enforcement security types that feel that they have now been painted all as awful human beings. what do you of that? >> i think we've got to resist any normal elastic views of any institution or peoples. there are always going to be decent peoples in whatever institution of whatever color within whatever group. at the problem is we have a culture within a police department where the police will not render each other accountable and knowing there is chronic to systemic mistreatment abuse of civilians. that is a larger institutional problem. it's not just a matter of bad apples and good apples in that regard. keep in mind, you know, any time you talk about the fundamental transf

neil. truckers are certainly concerned. it's a dangerous profession, people don't think about that. think back to the rodney king riots.hink back to the recent unrest, difficult profession to start with, particularly in times of unrest. a poll bit website, cdl life.com, that is commercial driver's license life.com, showing among 1200 respondentsed ask a question would you pick up or deliver to cities with defunded or disbanded police departments. almost 80% say they would not. comments from the drivers, i already told my dispatchers i will not do all loads to cities with defunded police department. some say that you do not need to act fearless and look like a fool saying no. another driver, if something was to happen, you have to take matters into your own hands you risk being prosecuted for protecting yourself. as we said trucking is a dangerous profession. how dangerous? well, according to the bureau of labor statistics, neil, in 2018 this was the deadliest profession of them all. next on the list was production workers. then farmers and ranchers and finally maintenance workers. tough for truckers. not to say that th

neil, thanks for having me. absolutely. i think it is why it was so important for us that at restaurant brands with our three amazing brands, burger kingpopeye's, tim horton, when the pandemic hit north america we were really focused on insuring we're taking care of team members with our guests and safety enhanced covid procedures for safety contactless procedures. that is additional components to really focus on that aspect of the business. then, secondly, focusing franchisees to make sure they had the liquidity to weather the storm in most difficult of moments. for us insuring that our franchisees were well-protected healthy, able to weather the storm. we made some cash advances in some cases. we worked on the real estate side as well. we have some property we rent to our franchisees. ultimately support from the government was critical with ppp for those small businesses to make sure they were able to manage it. it has been a tough moment economically. for many small businesses, our franchisees included. we're staying close to make sure they weather the storm to get through this stronger and better than ever. neil: i'm sure, you're e

neil: do you think that the president with your state, moved a big part to florida and north carolinians don't like that. >> i'm passionate about this one. i don't blame the president at all. i blame kingr taking radical stances when it comes to what our state is going to be allowed to do. going way over the head of the council state and i don't blame the president for taking it out of north carolina because you know, it probably would have been a severely limited capacity event and that's not what the republicans need. so he took it down to probably the jacksonville. in charlotte, they walked out on $40 million in revenue that would have been pouring into the state. so it's sad that the democrats are playing politics with something like the coronavirus just to be able to think what they believe in a swing state. neil: i've heard stories that your fiancee and your friends thought it was joke when you said were you running-- i'm sure your fiance say took your seriously. but here you are. what made you think you could pull it off and that you could still pull it off? it was an audacious step, you were going after an establishment. what made you do that? >> well, you know, i don't know wh
