LAWRENCE JONES (HOST): Young climate warriors are so upset with the state of the planet that they have been starving outside the White House for over a week now, demanding government action. Now, just to be clear, no one is forcing them to do this, but still CNN reporter Bill Weir said even Gandhi never had to deal with these things activists are facing. Really, Joey?
JOHNNY JOEY JONES: Yeah, listen, I hate it for them, I really do. You know, they're out there and people are eating doughnuts in front of them and heckling them, it is a terrible life. But I'll tell you what, I'll go buy them a meal and talk to them like a normal human being, maybe learn something. Maybe they can educate me on what climate change is all about, and scaring them -- but I tell you what, if you sit out there and act like a crazy person, and now you have people on CNN saying that they're sacrificing more than Gandhi, I'm just not sure any of us have an appetite for that.
JONES: You're so -- you're so nice, brother. I'll go talk with them, but I'm bringing food as well. Now, they're welcome to join me, but if they don't, they'll starve.
