Now it is time for john stossel. John what happened in ferguson is awful. Several people shot, several hundred arrested. Its all terrible. Do you remember the cincinnati riots 2001 enact 800 people were arrested. The los angeles riots after the rodney king beating, 16,000 arrested. Sixty people killed. In seattle, 40,000 people protested world trade, some destroyed stores. 600 people were arrested. Theres been lots of conflict in america, worse than what is happening in ferguson. The watts riot in los angeles is an example. And it began after a violent confrontation between White Police Officers and a black family that led six days of violence and it took 34 lives. At the time politicians said this right happen because police lost control and they didnt have the equipment.

The epa, the the, creating rules that make the environment cleaner. The air and water were filthy and people forget how bad it was. And let me remind you, here is the star anchorman of my day reporting on the state of america. Hydrocarbons, organic matter, each and every day. John some of that was media hype it in all of this media types. But in truth much of america was still pristine. But its also absolutely true than in many cities near industrial plants the air was filthy. Its much cleaner now and so is the water. Even here within sight of the Empire State Building within a short distance of millions of people, i am willing to do this. And thank you, epa. Catalytic converters on cars, the international world, the epa would now say lets take a for it and stick it in it because its done. The drop raise and bureaucracies never say that this is done.
