Karenna Gore, Pipeline Protest Ruling

Karenna Gore, daughter of former Vice President Al Gore, was among 13 protesters found "not responsible" by a Massachusetts judge for blocking a pipeline construction. The protesters used a "necessity defense," arguing their civil disobedience was justified by the urgent threat of climate change. The hosts comment on Gore's "uptalking" speech pattern and the emergence of political dynasties in activism.
