=== Critical Point: Water Crisis (02:41) ===

[00:00:00]  In California today, to water an acre of water has gone up hundreds and hundreds of percentage high.
[00:00:11]  It's like $2,000.
[00:00:12]  It's $2,200.
[00:00:15]  $2,200 to water one acre, one acre of farm ground.
[00:00:22]  And some of these farmers have thousands of acres that they need to be watered.
[00:00:26]  Enough to cover a football field to water.
[00:00:31]  That's what they're paying for water in California.
[00:00:34]  $2,200.
[00:00:38]  If people knew how fragile California is, basically all their water comes from one source for Los Angeles and all that area.
[00:00:50]  That's right.
[00:00:51]  I mean, and what this is going to do, we've been talking about how the last three years California has been experiencing drought.
[00:00:57]  And this last year has been a record-setting year as far as drought goes in California.
[00:01:02]  So we've already been experiencing food prices going up.
[00:01:05]  All this is going to do with the farmers paying $2,200 per acre to water it.
[00:01:11]  Well, it's going to affect the food prices even more.
[00:01:13]  They're going to even go higher now.
[00:01:15]  Do you know what they're worried about with this water shortage?
[00:01:20]  They're worried about rolling blackouts.
[00:01:23]  Oh, boy.
[00:01:27]  We are on the brink of something beyond.
[00:01:30]  Everything seems to be at critical point.
[00:01:32]  Our national grid is a critical point.
[00:01:34]  Our food source, critical point.
[00:01:36]  Our banking, critical point.
[00:01:38]  I've never seen America all at one time come together in a perfect storm.
[00:01:45]  Everybody shaking.
[00:01:46]  Your food's going up.
[00:01:47]  Your gas is going up.
[00:01:50]  I mean, for 44 years, has anyone seen it like this before?
[00:01:56]  No.
[00:01:58]  Even in the Carter days when we gas lines, everything else worked.
[00:02:03]  Everything else was okay.
[00:02:05]  The problem with the gas, those guys over there were causing this trouble.
[00:02:09]  Everything, everything at one time seems to break.
[00:02:15]  Infrastructure.
[00:02:16]  Our bridges are falling apart.
[00:02:18]  Everything is a crisis.
[00:02:20]  Do they have a saying in Scotland when you were a little boy?
[00:02:24]  The mothers or grandmothers say, son, you're getting too big for your bridges.
[00:02:29]  For your bridges.
[00:02:29]  Have you ever heard that?
[00:02:30]  We say bricks instead of britches.
[00:02:32]  Bricks.
[00:02:33]  These are your bricks.
[00:02:35]  Don't be too big for your bricks.
[00:02:37]  America has become too big for her bridges.
