WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.839 --> 00:00:06.759 Killer storm. Hurricane Milton is headed right towards Florida. It's 2 00:00:06.759 --> 00:00:09.439 a warning. Why don't we ever heed them? We're gonna 3 00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:13.160 talk about that, and could Kamala Harris be suffering from 4 00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:16.480 our exhaustion? We are just worn out from this election cycle. 5 00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:21.440 We're gonna talk about that and so much more. Uncensored, Unfiltered, 6 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.839 un Hinged. A'sl Kuel Cast. Listen daily on your favorite 7 00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:34.920 streaming service. It is the Crell Cast. I am Corel. 8 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:39.000 Happy hump Day, Wednesday, October ninth, So very glad you 9 00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:41.960 are joining me. You know, I do have some listeners 10 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.159 in Florida, and I'm just if you haven't gotten out, 11 00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:49.560 you can't and so I hope you're safe. Hurricane Milton 12 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:52.640 is vacillating between A four and five. It's kind of 13 00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:56.679 like Chinatown and fade dunaway sister daughter, sister, daughter four 14 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.960 or five, four or five, And I make light of it, 15 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.479 but of course it is no laughing matter. This is 16 00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.959 a hugely killer storm. And as I said, right now, 17 00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:10.920 as we speak, there are people alive that are going 18 00:01:10.920 --> 00:01:15.040 to be dead tomorrow at this time because of a hurricane. 19 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:18.359 And this keeps happening, and we keep hearing the terms 20 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.480 once in a lifetime, once in a generation, blah blah 21 00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:26.400 blah blah blah blah blah uh. And the fact of 22 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:31.519 the matter is that it's not. This is It's what 23 00:01:31.560 --> 00:01:33.760 I keep telling everyone here in Las Vegas about Las 24 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:38.239 Vegas weather. This is not an aberration. In other words, 25 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.120 we are October ninth, We're nine days into October. We're 26 00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:46.239 still having one hundred degree temperatures. That's never happened. It's 27 00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:48.400 the longest end of the season in the summer that 28 00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:51.840 we've ever had one hundred degree temperatures. That's going to 29 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:55.920 be normal, Okay, that's not going to be like, oh 30 00:01:55.959 --> 00:01:59.840 my god, record every day people are being forced to 31 00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:03.799 see record breaking once in a lifetime. And it's not. 32 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:08.960 This is what we have done to the planet already, 33 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:15.039 but we continue to do more every day, and there 34 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.039 is no urgency to fix it on anyone's behalf. Greta 35 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:24.759 gets made fun of because of how she tries to say, no, 36 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:32.960 the time is right now, right now, And Milton, the 37 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:37.120 waters in the Gulf have warmed. Why because we've warmed them. 38 00:02:38.120 --> 00:02:42.199 We've warmed the planet, and the water is on the planet, 39 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.520 and so the water is warmer now much warmer, and 40 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:51.439 that much warmer water is fueling these killer We're going 41 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.719 to have to expand they're already talking about expanding the 42 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:59.000 hurricane scale from five up to perhaps six or seven 43 00:02:59.080 --> 00:03:04.240 or even ten, because these storms and their intensity are 44 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:08.319 getting stronger and stronger and stronger. And you know, people 45 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:10.840 in Florida and other places, they're acting like this is 46 00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:14.080 a run of the mill hurricane, and they did with Helene. 47 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.439 Oh well, it's just a hurricane. We know, heat waves, flooding. 48 00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.360 Everything that's now happening is not run of the mill, 49 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:29.240 nor is it like it was. It's a new normal. 50 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.199 And we have not built infrastructure for it. In fact, 51 00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:39.560 our infrastructure is buckling everywhere the weather goes. We have 52 00:03:39.759 --> 00:03:46.919 not built anything to survive this. Our homes, nothing. And 53 00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.759 as these disasters become more and more and more prevalent, 54 00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:54.120 and they're going to we're going to have to make 55 00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:57.840 some tough choices, and we won't. And that's what's really 56 00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.439 on my mind, outside of what I talked about yesterday, 57 00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:05.520 which you know, I didn't magically get better overnight. You 58 00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:07.319 know how I told you yesterday, I spend most of 59 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:11.919 the day thinking about dying and I wish, you know, 60 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.879 I wish more people did. I know that sounds odd, 61 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:22.439 but I currently may be making an appointment in Los 62 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:26.879 Angeles with a neurologist because I am not content to 63 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:31.199 have my thigh muscle. I'm sorry my calf muscle jump 64 00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:36.040 around for more months. It's been seven. I want a treatment, 65 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:38.480 or I want to at least be told there's not 66 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:41.199 a treatment because it's this, this or this. I want 67 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:46.480 to know exactly why my left calf muscle is jumping around. 68 00:04:46.920 --> 00:04:50.319 Why last night in my sleep my biceps had daggers 69 00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.600 through them. Now I'm told it can be my neck. 70 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:55.639 You know why my voice is getting hoarse. I want 71 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:58.560 to know these things, and then I want to act 72 00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:02.759 upon them. You know, there's a whole longevity movement in 73 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.480 this country and in the world. Billionaires are trying to 74 00:05:05.519 --> 00:05:10.199 extend their lives for what and I mean that honestly, 75 00:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.800 people want to live to be one hundred. Why the 76 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:18.920 planet is going to be hugely inhospitable and we're not 77 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:24.079 doing anything about it. We're not moving major crops. Okay, 78 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:26.439 so there's going to be food shortages. I mean, that's 79 00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:32.360 just going to happen. It's not fantasy. It's not you know, 80 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.800 al gore being you know, too much of a ah, 81 00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:41.240 you know, too scary. It's real, it's happening, and we 82 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.920 are acting like climate change is not a real thing 83 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:49.000 that is going to kill us. It is more dangerous 84 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.319 than nuclear war. According to the scientist, we have a 85 00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:57.399 bigger threat from the environment than we do Russia or China. 86 00:05:57.879 --> 00:06:02.160 But we spend billions on trying to protect ourselves from 87 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.519 Russia and China and spend a fraction of that to 88 00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:11.040 make changes for climate change. And there's no one, not 89 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:18.600 one government willing to make the sweeping changes immediately. Milton 90 00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:24.240 is going to crash into Tampa, kill people, tear down infrastructure, 91 00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.639 tear down buildings, destroy people's homes, and we're not going 92 00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.079 to do a thing about it. I often wonder if 93 00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:36.439 humans have a death wish. Maybe we feel we don't belong, 94 00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:41.079 maybe we feel we don't deserve to continue as a species, 95 00:06:42.360 --> 00:06:46.959 but we have a death wish. Only idiots would do 96 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:52.040 what we do now as a race, and I'm talking worldwide, 97 00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:56.959 but in the United States specifically, only idiots would know 98 00:06:57.079 --> 00:07:00.720 that the number one cause of death for children are 99 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:05.160 guns and do nothing about it, and claim that it's 100 00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.959 politics or a piece of paper with one sentence that 101 00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:14.519 was originally written in calligraphy, that's stopping us from protecting 102 00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:21.759 our children. That's stupid. Only idiots would say, yeah, the 103 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.920 climate's changing, but we're making these steps by twenty thirty 104 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:30.800 and by twenty fifty. Screw that. Fossil fuels should be 105 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.079 outlawed by twenty twenty five. By the end of next 106 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:41.360 year period, meat and dairy farming, and meat and dairy 107 00:07:41.480 --> 00:07:47.240 consumption should be slashed by eighty percent over the next 108 00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:54.639 twelve months, eighty percent less cows, pigs, chickens, eighty percent. 109 00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:00.399 You should only have available to you twenty percent of 110 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.040 the meat and dairy that you have available to you now. 111 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:05.920 And I don't want to hear about how it's my 112 00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.399 right to eat meat. No it's not. It is no 113 00:08:08.519 --> 00:08:10.879 longer your right to not be a plant based eater, 114 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:15.279 because your diet is literally killing the planet. Your diet, 115 00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.360 if you are not a vegan, your diet is causing Milton. 116 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:23.439 You are partially responsible for the deaths in Helene and 117 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:28.319 in Milton and in every other storm because you continue 118 00:08:28.360 --> 00:08:32.320 to contribute to climate change and will do nothing about it. 119 00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.559 Because you've got your excuses. Oh, well, what's it matter 120 00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.320 if I do it. China's not going to do it, 121 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.279 Russia is not going to do it. What's it matter 122 00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.600 if I do it? Corporations aren't going to do it. 123 00:08:43.320 --> 00:08:47.519 That attitude is what's killing us, and that attitude is 124 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:53.799 all just self serving. We are so self serving that 125 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:57.200 we do not believe we shouldn't have to make or 126 00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.759 need to make sacrifices, real sacrifice to save the planet. 127 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:06.360 We won't make real sacrifices to save our children. We'd 128 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.279 rather send our children to school and let them have 129 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.759 active shooter drills and be terrorized that they're going to 130 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:16.600 be killed than to get rid of guns. We would 131 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.240 rather have the diets that we have, have the cars 132 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:23.639 that we have, generate electricity the way that we generated 133 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.399 get transportation. In other words, you're you know, having a car. 134 00:09:29.240 --> 00:09:33.200 We would rather have all that convenience than actually save 135 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.960 the planet. You know, we should be outlying all forms 136 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:42.559 of public transportation except I'm sorry, all forms of transportation 137 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:47.639 except public transportation. All cities should just say within our 138 00:09:47.679 --> 00:09:51.399 city limits, no cars, no trucks. You're gonna have to 139 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:56.120 move your goods and services another way. Because you're killing 140 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:59.399 the planet and we're not going to have tens of 141 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:03.639 thousand or millions. There are millions of people that now 142 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:08.960 have to relocate, and they're not We're not telling Florida. 143 00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:12.879 We're not going to ensure any home in Florida. So 144 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.320 if you live there, you're on your own. We're not 145 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.720 going to have FEMA respond to any event in Florida, period. 146 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:25.399 No more federal aid for your emergencies. You need to relocate. 147 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:29.679 We're not going to allocate billions of dollars like the 148 00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:34.240 three hundred billion we gave to Ukraine to help cities relocate. 149 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.080 We're not going to give American families any kind of 150 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.759 help to move out of climate dangerous zones into areas 151 00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.480 that aren't so dangerous. We're not going to build and 152 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.960 expand all this vast property that we have in this 153 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.720 country to give room for people to move to new 154 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:57.320 places where the climate isn't going to be so severe. 155 00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:02.080 We're not going to do that. So the Earth is 156 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:06.440 going to kill us in great numbers in my lifetime 157 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:10.279 and in your lifetime. And you just have to wonder, 158 00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.320 is it really big business that's preventing this. I used 159 00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.240 to think it was money. I used to think, you know, 160 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:19.639 until it becomes profitable, they're just not going to save 161 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.879 the planet. I used to think that, But now I 162 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:28.240 think it's individual greed, and I mean that, each of 163 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.159 you and me. We won't give up our cars. Oh no, 164 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.799 I need a car. I've got to get to work. 165 00:11:34.840 --> 00:11:36.399 I've got to do this. I've got to do that. 166 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:38.720 I've got to get to the target. I've got to 167 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:43.600 get to the Walmart. We won't give up having things 168 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.639 shipped to us from across the globe, like fruits and vegetables. 169 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:51.399 We won't build vertical hydroponic gardens to start bringing produce 170 00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.960 and fruits and vegetables to the areas where they are consumed. 171 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.399 Los Angeles doesn't produce all of its own food. Vada 172 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.600 certainly doesn't produce all of its own food. Las Vegas 173 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:08.000 should be one hundred percent food independent. There should be vertical, 174 00:12:08.279 --> 00:12:12.360 climate controlled gardens that provide all the fruits and vegetables 175 00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:16.960 that everybody in Nevada needs right here in Nevada. We 176 00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.639 shouldn't have mangoes from India and grapes from Colombia and 177 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:25.399 watermelon from you know, Georgia. That it shouldn't be that 178 00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:30.039 way because it takes so much fossil fuel and so 179 00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.600 many resources to get that food to where it needs 180 00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:36.759 to be that it's killing the planet. But we won't 181 00:12:36.759 --> 00:12:40.000 do it. We won't make people eat regionally eat and 182 00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:42.840 make them come up with solutions, because we would come 183 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:47.399 up with solutions. If you told people we're phasing out 184 00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:52.159 personal automobiles. You can have public transportation. We'll have little 185 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.840 ubers transport pods that can come pick you up and 186 00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.519 take you places. But you're not going to own a car. 187 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.279 We won't tell people that. We'll say you can own 188 00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:06.120 an electric motorcycle, you could own an electric golf cart 189 00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:10.399 or whatever, but you're not owning a fucking Ford F 190 00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:14.519 twenty five hundred the eight super blah blah blah gas 191 00:13:14.600 --> 00:13:19.519 guzzling piece of crap. We won't say even that. We 192 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:21.799 are not going to sell you a truck or a 193 00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:27.039 giant suv if your job doesn't require it. We won't 194 00:13:27.159 --> 00:13:31.960 limit what people can buy. We won't do anything to 195 00:13:32.000 --> 00:13:35.639 save ourselves at all. We just won't. And yet we 196 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:38.159 want to live longer. We spend a fortune on healthcare 197 00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:42.399 because we want to survive. Why why do we want 198 00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.039 to survive? If we don't think about the survival of 199 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.960 our planet, of our species, and who wants to live 200 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.840 in a world that's one hundred and ten degrees all 201 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.679 the time with no rain and storms killing I mean, really, 202 00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.320 we've never given thought to any of this. And now, 203 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:02.679 as Milton serves as another reminder that the climate is 204 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:09.679 already almost irreparably damaged, we don't heed the warning. We 205 00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:11.600 don't say, you know what, we have got to We've 206 00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:15.440 got to stop, like today, we have to stop we 207 00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:18.600 have mass shootings. We don't heed the warnings. We don't 208 00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.720 say we've got to outlaw guns tomorrow, Like get Congress 209 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:23.879 together and if they don't vote them all out and 210 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.120 put someone in that will we get We just can't 211 00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.440 let this just go on willy nilly. You know, I 212 00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:32.919 spend a lot of time trying to think about what 213 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.720 disease does I have. I wish America and the world 214 00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:38.120 would worry. 215 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:43.080 As much about what disease they have, climate change, violence, 216 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:48.200 things that are actually killing them every day, And yet 217 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.679 we all just be carefully about it. 218 00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.240 The government will take care of those people over there, 219 00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:58.759 will take care Hey, Corel here, and I'd like to 220 00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.200 take a moment to think a all the patrons of Patreon, 221 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.480 your support means the absolute world to me and the show. 222 00:15:04.919 --> 00:15:07.039 If you'd like to show your support for the crazy 223 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:09.960 endeavors of the Corell Cast, then please go to patreon 224 00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:14.000 dot com forward slash really Corell.

He 240 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:21.039 would approve. Phil and I are friends, good friends, like family. 241 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:23.519 We're family. Phil and I We've been through so much. 242 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:27.399 And David G. Hall just had his sixtieth birthday, which 243 00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:31.039 just blew me away. I can't believe Davy is sixty. 244 00:16:32.000 --> 00:16:34.759 I can't, you know, I can't. And David G. Hall, 245 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.840 the former program director of KFI who created Me and 246 00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:43.000 Phil and Doctor Laura and everybody else, is possibly one 247 00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.879 of the greatest men I've ever known in my life. 248 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.559 And Phil, you know, Phil's gone through a lot of drama, 249 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:53.559 personal drama. He went through a phase of too much alcohol, 250 00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:58.679 didn't we all, And he's emerged a strong legend. And 251 00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:02.440 that's what he is. He is a legend. He still 252 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.880 does me sometimes. Me and Andrew. I'm Corell and I'm Andrew. 253 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.640 And it just I've been crying a lot recently, you know, 254 00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:14.559 And maybe this climate change topic really speaks to something. 255 00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.240 You know that the Tropicana Hotel was blown up last 256 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:21.079 night made a large sound throughout the valley. Trust me. 257 00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:23.960 They had a really cool drone show, which is how 258 00:17:24.000 --> 00:17:27.359 I want firework shows to be now. It was so impressive. 259 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.640 The drone show all posted on my social media. It 260 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.759 was something. They had the logo of the Tropicana. They 261 00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.039 had the years of the Tropicana. They had a spinning 262 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.119 circle with text in the middle. They had all this 263 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:45.319 drone show was like freaking incredible, off the charts, just 264 00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:50.839 really really cool. And then it counted down. The drones 265 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:55.200 counted down five, four, three, and then boom, there there 266 00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.720 went the two towers. And I cried. I cried this 267 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:01.839 morning when I watched it. I'm not making this up. 268 00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.599 I cried. And I cried because Andrew and I had 269 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.839 sex in one of those rooms looking out the window. 270 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:11.319 The window was open and we were literally in the 271 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.799 window having sex. He was bent over right there in 272 00:18:15.839 --> 00:18:20.200 the window, and we were laughing because we thought if 273 00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:24.119 people look up, they could you know, I won five 274 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:28.960 hundred dollars, my first jackpot ever back in like Andrew 275 00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:30.839 and I had only been together a couple years, so 276 00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:36.240 it would be like eighty nine, you know. And oh, 277 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:37.960 I took my me and my mom and Andrew out 278 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:40.160 to dinner, and I bought a beautiful lion brooch at 279 00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:42.839 their gift shop that had diamonds in it, and oh, 280 00:18:42.880 --> 00:18:45.519 I was. I was, you know, well, the N word 281 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.119 rich is what my mom would have called it. I 282 00:18:47.119 --> 00:18:50.160 don't know why that was a terrible saying, but but 283 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:53.880 yes I was. You know, so the Tropicana has memories 284 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.839 to me. But more importantly, you know, the Tropicana was 285 00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:59.880 put up in nineteen fifty four, eight years before me, 286 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:06.440 and so much of my era is passing, the Tropicana gone. 287 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:09.839 So many of the celebrities that I grew you know, 288 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.599 Bruce Willis has dementia and is out of the picture. 289 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:18.160 Now we're losing celebrities every day. Streisands eighty two shares 290 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:22.640 almost eighty, Diana Ross is eighty. You know, so many 291 00:19:22.720 --> 00:19:26.480 people that I love are now going to die soon, 292 00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:31.279 and so many institutions that I love and things that 293 00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:35.759 I grew up with are just disappearing. And so when 294 00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:38.240 I saw the Tropicana making room for this half a 295 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:42.640 billion dollar ballpark, you know, being destroyed. I'm not against progress. 296 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:44.880 Progress is great, you know it is, and I love 297 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:49.759 new things I do. But as you age, you sort 298 00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:54.440 of see it slipping away, and you realize that there's 299 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:58.440 less time ahead of you than behind you, and so 300 00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:01.680 you want it to matter, You want it to count, 301 00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.720 and that's why there's such urgency. For instance, when it 302 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.720 comes to climate change. We have less time in front 303 00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.640 of us that the earth will be survivable than we 304 00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:18.920 do behind us. We are on a very limited clock 305 00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:24.359 and no one has that urgency. It's like with the election, 306 00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:29.400 America is not going to survive another Donald Trump term. 307 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:32.839 It's not. And I worry that so many of us 308 00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:35.240 are worn out by the election. Like, how many of 309 00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.079 you have watched all the interviews Kamala has done recently, 310 00:20:38.119 --> 00:20:43.319 the view Howard Stern, which was a great interview. She's 311 00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:46.559 so much like Obama in so many ways. She really 312 00:20:46.640 --> 00:20:49.039 is someone you'd want to go to dinner with. I 313 00:20:49.079 --> 00:20:51.000 love when she was talking about going to the sphere 314 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:54.000 here in Las Vegas and said, don't go in there high. Well, 315 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:56.720 she said, she didn't say hi, but then Howard said, 316 00:20:56.759 --> 00:21:00.200 in other words, don't be high, and she was. She's 317 00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:05.880 like yep, you know. And she's just really genuine. And 318 00:21:05.920 --> 00:21:08.359 whether they use my song, Oh, by the way, I 319 00:21:08.519 --> 00:21:11.920 just got there's gonna be a benefit in New York 320 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:17.319 October twenty first a play a stage reading about life 321 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:21.279 before Roe v. Wade and it's got huge stars, big 322 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.000 stars like Tyne Daily and I could read the text 323 00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:29.599 to you it's got big stars, Christine Lottie and all 324 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:33.079 these other stars. And I was just asked by the 325 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:38.319 producer of this benefit if they could sing We're not 326 00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.039 going back at the end of the show. So all 327 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:45.400 these big stars, Tyne Daily and Christine Lottie and Deborah 328 00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:49.519 Messing and all these stars are going to sing my song. 329 00:21:50.160 --> 00:21:54.640 October twenty first, at a benefit in New York. I 330 00:21:54.839 --> 00:22:03.960 was I I'm flabber gosted, and I'm deeply honored. They 331 00:22:04.000 --> 00:22:06.079 called and said, look, you wrote an incredible song. And 332 00:22:06.079 --> 00:22:08.400 whether Kamala picks it up or not, this song speaks 333 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.279 to women about women's rights. That's why I know Kamala 334 00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.240 hasn't heard it. It'd be being played tomorrow if she's 335 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:19.359 heard it. But I'm so honored by that. But anyway, 336 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:22.200 so and I'm worried that at this stage of my life, 337 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:25.079 I'm finding something I really love to do, write songs 338 00:22:25.279 --> 00:22:28.000 and sing them, and that I'm running out of time. 339 00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:32.960 And I wish that America felt the urgency that I 340 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:37.839 do about life. Life can be good right now. We 341 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.519 don't have to wait five years for life to be 342 00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:45.119 good if we make the right choices. I exercise every 343 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.480 day I'm a vegan. I'm trying to live longer and 344 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.319 do what's right for the planet. You know, if we 345 00:22:51.440 --> 00:22:54.799 make the right choices and they're easy to make, they're 346 00:22:54.799 --> 00:23:00.000 not easy to implement though, lifestyle changes of any kind 347 00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.079 that wire sacrifice, and we've gotten lazy. You know, our 348 00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:07.759 lawmakers they wouldn't sacrifice their lives for the United States. 349 00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:12.440 The founders did and would again. But our lawmakers wouldn't. 350 00:23:12.759 --> 00:23:14.960 You know, if there was a bill that they signed 351 00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:17.559 and by signing it it meant they could be killed 352 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:21.519 and their fortunes taken, they wouldn't sign it. Our founders did. 353 00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:29.200 Our parents made huge, actual sacrifices to make sure that 354 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:32.839 we had food, we had what we needed, or at 355 00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:35.799 least they tried to get it at the expense of 356 00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:39.680 their own bodies, of their own life, of their own happiness. 357 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.960 They did these things. Nowadays people don't want to sacrifice 358 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:50.079 anything at all. In fact, they want more. But that's 359 00:23:50.119 --> 00:23:53.519 not how life works. Life could be so great right 360 00:23:53.559 --> 00:23:58.039 now for me, Life could be great with a definitive diagnosis, 361 00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:01.880 you know, knowing why my land is jumping, and having 362 00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:05.759 that diagnosis not be a terrible disease ALS or MS, 363 00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:08.880 or whatever, you know, because I want to get on. 364 00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:11.480 I want to write more songs. I want I really 365 00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:13.720 want to come and see you guys. You don't know 366 00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:16.759 how every day I wish that I could find a venue, 367 00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:19.279 you know. I mean. Will Durst is doing a show. 368 00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.440 The man had a stroke and he's doing the Punchline 369 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:25.480 in San Francisco. You should go see him. He's gonna 370 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:29.759 do sit down comedy. But bravo to Will five years ago. 371 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.160 Had a stroke on October seventh, and now he's going 372 00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:34.559 back to stage. I loved Will Durst. He was a 373 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:39.079 great guest on my show. I want to be that person. 374 00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:42.720 I want to move forward, and I know you do too, 375 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:46.200 and we're stuck in this muck. Trump keeps trying to 376 00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:49.640 pull us back. His supporters keep trying. They even say 377 00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.640 make America great again. I wrote a song called We're 378 00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:55.039 Not going Back because we don't want to go back 379 00:24:55.079 --> 00:25:00.319 into that swamp. We want to evolve. But evolution is 380 00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:05.000 not easy. It is painful, like birth. Ask a woman, 381 00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:10.839 you know, and we are not evolving, We're devolving. They 382 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:15.160 want to go back. That's devout. Devolve is it? Devolution? 383 00:25:15.519 --> 00:25:18.799 Is that such a word? Regression? But to de evolve. 384 00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:23.279 They want to go backwards. You and I we want 385 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:27.279 to go forward because life can be good. We need 386 00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:30.400 to be able to afford it. Look, if I had 387 00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:33.720 the money, or if one of you want to give that, 388 00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:36.440 it's a property owner or whatever. I would love to 389 00:25:36.480 --> 00:25:38.880 live in the Castro of San Francisco. I just would. 390 00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.319 I've always loved that area. I'd love to live there. 391 00:25:41.519 --> 00:25:43.759 It would be a dream for me to have a 392 00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:46.359 town home with a little yard where I could walk 393 00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:50.000 to the Presidio or walk down to the Embarcadero or whatever. 394 00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:52.079 I know. The downtown is full of crime and stuff. 395 00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:54.319 I'm used to that. I don't care. I want to 396 00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:57.200 live where I can hop on a bart and go somewhere, 397 00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.319 go to the doctors on the bart, where I don't 398 00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:01.960 have to have a car. I want to live in 399 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:05.119 San Francisco so badly. And I look at all these 400 00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:07.799 condos for sale, and they have this thing that's below 401 00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:10.079
