The river party only lasted a few weeks, though. We did what any river loves would do. We floated it. By canoe, paddle boards. And eventually by foot crossing the shallows. I believe this is the colorado. Generally the real colorado has no water in it. But as you can see, its a pretty nice river right now. It looks amazing. Usually this part of the river is completely dry. Its sand. It has been many years like that. On may 7, after nine, 13hourlong paddling days we crossed 90 miles of the delta and reached the sea. It was the first and only paddle board crossing of the new delta. And the first time the Colorado River kissed the sea in nearly two decades. On many levels, it was a preposterous journey foolish, even wrong headed. I dont feel like im getting anywhere. The most absurd paddle Board Mission ever. Also beautiful and symbolic. And with a relative trickle, we can bring a river back to life if we try. [ applause] ill just say a couple words before we move on to bob and american r
Meet et cetera its all very clean. If you dont take care of the animal you cant return the cycle full saoeurbgl. Let me start again. If you dont take care of what the animal is eating that brings us down to the grass. If we dont take care of the grass, then were all going to find ourselves with emissions that are produced by cards. Everything it just goes into the atmosphere. So if we look at other ways to return the carbon from the air back in the soil one of the number one things you can come upon as a cow or rabbit eats grasses this is a root shoot ratio. When they eat a grass the root, the shoot is shorter. All the carbons that comes from the air they take the Carbon Dioxide and turn it into liquid carbon and then an animal eats it and knocks off their part of their roots and becomes in the soil and feeds the my kroebs and you return carbon to the soil. If it goes deeper into the ground you sequester it for long periods of time, carbon storage. But the first way to get there, the s
Bones. They call the senate to session, gavel it order, and say well be in recess until tomorrow at noon. Boom. Because we do that, were not in recess. So you cant use the recess appointment power. So the first question the Supreme Court has to decide is the exercise that the supreme that the senate goes through a real recess or not. In order, is it a recess during which the president could use the recess appointment power. Yes or no. The second question, remember what the article the section of the constitution says. It said the president should have the power to fill all vacancy that may happen during the recess of the senate. The second question is does the recess have to arise sorry does the vacancy have to arise during the recess. Can you use the tower fill a vacancy that aroads a long time ago . Fade to black. Fade up. Why do we have it in the constitution in the first place . Remember, that the congress used to be out of session for months at the time. Half a year maybe or more.
Transitioning into something different. And its really that transition i want to use as i go through whats going on in the world at the moment. I hope you dont mind. But im going to take you around the world then im going to focus on another transition thats taking place which is affecting the Financial Sector at large. Five years ago, the Global Economy avoided what has since been called the Great Depression. Five years on, the journey is not complete. The bulk of the crisis is gradually lifting. And we can see that it leaves multiple new transitions that are at work. Two in particular standouts, its a new pattern of economic transitions as well as that Financial Sector transition that i referred to. Our job is to deal with crises. And were pretty used to it. Ebb and flow of the economic cycle, recession generally lasting for one year or two, sometimes a little longer, but not much. But this one is clearly a little unusual, if only at the time it takes to be resolved. And the transiti
