What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe New York Times reports members of a youth protest movement in India were intercepted at airports and stopped by barricades.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOne protester asked, quote, aren't we children of this nation?

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistBarricades. Total pressure system. A solid line of blockage moving in from the east, and nobody on the ground predicted it.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAirports. They always start with the airports. I said so in two thousand nine, and I was laughed at by a man holding a croissant.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, it's about young people wanting to be heard.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHeard? They can't even board a plane. That's what happens when you question authority in the terminal zone.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistFront's stalling. Could be a long, grim week of standing around in the cold.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBrock, these kids are risking arrest just to ask basic questions about belonging.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNo. Stay away from me.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorShe's doing it again.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe point is, they're furious, and nobody on this panel has let one of them speak.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBecause we're busy being furious for them. It's efficient.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistOutsourced rage. Very modern.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAren't we all children of this nation, Dale?

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI'm thirty-nine, Vera, and nobody has ever asked me.
