And that is 20 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.959 someone's adorable little child that recorded the airhorn and sent 21 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:15.319 it to us. 22 00:01:15.319 --> 00:01:17.640 And it is my favorite, No, my favorite. 23 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.040 That's the sad and Dying airhorn. 24 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.359 That's what sad nor dying. 25 00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.239 So, yeah, Wednesday, this is going to be a big day. 26 00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:33.599 I have completed my call list of people that I 27 00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:36.200 know on the western coast of Florida. I have ensured 28 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:39.079 that they have all evacuated. So I am feeling pretty 29 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.079 good about things today because Hurricane Milton. 30 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:43.799 You hat no honkerers in this No, these are not 31 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:45.400 stupid people. Exactly. 32 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.239 Several of them are in Our former co worker, Hassena. 33 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.760 You're Seena is in Sarasota, and I started on. 34 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.280 Her like three days ago, like you got to get out, 35 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:55.480 you got to get out. 36 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:57.319 And what's funny is I have a lot of friends 37 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.000 on the east coast of Florida. They are more concerned, 38 00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.359 earned and more prepared than the people on the west coast. 39 00:02:03.519 --> 00:02:06.359 It's kind of crazy, but I talked to my last 40 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:08.919 friend that I was worried about today. She lives in 41 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.800 an old cracker house, like an old wood frame house, 42 00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:14.240 and I was like, you cannot stay there, even though 43 00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:16.280 that house has lived through so many storms because it's 44 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.680 one hundred years old. So just talk to her. She's 45 00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:21.960 out of it. We're all good now. The saddest part 46 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.439 about Hurricane Milton. And we have weather Wednesday coming up 47 00:02:24.439 --> 00:02:25.960 today and I'm sure we're going to talk about this 48 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:28.479 a little bit with Dave Frasier is that the people 49 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.639 that are left behind are the people that cannot afford 50 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:34.439 to leave. And that is the sad truth about all 51 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:34.719 of this. 52 00:02:35.039 --> 00:02:37.080 And I do have. 53 00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:43.680 Friends that have, you know, gotten these water barriers that 54 00:02:43.800 --> 00:02:44.560 are there. 55 00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:45.639 They're kind of cool. 56 00:02:45.719 --> 00:02:46.960 I'm interested to see. 57 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:47.639 How they work. 58 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.560 Tampa General the big hospital in Tampa, it's it's their 59 00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.039 U See Health. Tampa General is the big hospital there. 60 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:59.520 They used these in Hurricane Helene and kept the floodwaters back. 61 00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.199 Now they use much bigger ones because they're right near 62 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:06.159 the bay. But now this is these are now being 63 00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.599 sold like hotcakes and people are you basically wrap your 64 00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:11.240 whole house with like a little wall to keep the 65 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.800 water out. I'm interested to see how well it works. 66 00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:16.240 But this is going to be a horrible storm. And 67 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.240 as I keep telling because a lot of my friends 68 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:20.360 who live on the West coast of Florida all transplants. 69 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.680 They just moved there, and I keep telling them like, yeah, 70 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.599 you may make it through the storm, but you don't want. 71 00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:26.599 To be there through the aftermath. 72 00:03:27.560 --> 00:03:30.039 One of my friends in Fort Myers is she evacuated 73 00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.560 because she stayed in her house through Ian and swore 74 00:03:33.599 --> 00:03:36.120 to God, she would never do that again. And she 75 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:40.120 has her ring doorbell camera on so she can find 76 00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:42.080 out when the power goes out. Her power in Fort 77 00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:44.680 Myers has already gone out three times today and the 78 00:03:44.719 --> 00:03:48.479 storm hasn't even hit yet. So it's a nasty, nasty hurricane. 79 00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:52.479 It is going to be extremely destructive. And if you 80 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.080 know anybody on the west coast of Florida, pray for them. 81 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:58.080 Hope they already got out, but we will find out 82 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.759 what is uh who's going to get hit. The thing 83 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:03.840 I'm worried about is everybody's talking about Tampa and Sarasota. 84 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:08.960 But hurricanes are notoriously finicky and they can turn it 85 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:10.800 any as a matter of fact. And I'm gonna do 86 00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:12.800 the blog in just a second, so just hang tight 87 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.800 for a second. Chuck and I were watching the Weather 88 00:04:15.879 --> 00:04:19.040 Channel yesterday, and we were watching the Weather Channel because 89 00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:20.600 we have so many people that are going to be 90 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.519 in this storm in all up and down the coast 91 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:24.000 of Florida. 92 00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:24.959 Inside Florida. 93 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:27.639 It's supposed to be a category two when it hits Orlando, 94 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:32.839 which is huge. And Ron de Santis was on the 95 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:37.120 Weather Channel, Governor Ronda Santis and all I kept thinking 96 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.279 the whole time he's talking, why isn't this guy the candidate? 97 00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.639 Why why was I not allowed to vote for Ronda 98 00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:49.199 Santis by the time it got to Colorado, Why isn't this. 99 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.399 Guy the candidate? 100 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:55.079 Because he's talking, I mean, you should hear his command 101 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.680 of what's happening in Florida Right now, they have masked 102 00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:02.560 more line workers because what happens before a storm. This 103 00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:04.560 is so interesting to me. Maybe it's I mean, if 104 00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.759 it's not interesting to you guys, sorry, but I find 105 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.879 this fascinating. They figure out where they can mass all 106 00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.959 of the line trucks from the electric companies. They bring 107 00:05:11.959 --> 00:05:15.360 in electric companies from all over the country and they 108 00:05:15.560 --> 00:05:17.800 stage them in an area that is not supposed to 109 00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:20.959 be hit by the hurricane. So as soon as it 110 00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:24.240 is safe, they are deploying all of these trucks to 111 00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:27.920 go to the hurricane areas well. Ron Desanta's is already 112 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.120 called up the National Guard. So not only do they 113 00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:32.680 have all the line trucks stage you're ready to go, 114 00:05:32.759 --> 00:05:35.360 they have National Guard ready to go, ready to roll 115 00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:39.279 into these areas. Because one of the big frustrations for 116 00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:41.959 the people that go through these storms is that after 117 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.079 the storm. A lot of the time they are not 118 00:05:44.120 --> 00:05:46.680 allowed to go back to their homes because there are 119 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:49.160 power lines all over the road. Some of them are active, 120 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.680 some of them are not. There's trees and debris and 121 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.040 it's just an absolute mess. And people get really mad. 122 00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:56.680 And I understand it. You want to see if your 123 00:05:56.680 --> 00:05:58.079 house is still there, right, you want to see the 124 00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.720 damage that was done to your property. But it creates 125 00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:05.079 this huge, just just group where they don't want to 126 00:06:05.079 --> 00:06:08.480 ever leave their homes again. So they they've already staged 127 00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:11.360 the National Guard up in the not totally in the panandle, 128 00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.240 but really kind of up in the in the curvy 129 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.480 part of the of this I call it the armpit 130 00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.000 of the state. It was just really hit by Helen. 131 00:06:18.199 --> 00:06:20.720 So they've just got the power back on and Helene 132 00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:21.800 and now they're all stage. 133 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:22.360 You're ready to go. 134 00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:24.439 So they're going to roll in the National Guard to 135 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.959 clear the roads, to make sure the power lines are 136 00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:29.199 out of the way and dead, and so people can 137 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.079 go back to their houses past or if their houses 138 00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:33.600 are still there. There are a couple of barrier islands 139 00:06:33.600 --> 00:06:35.720 long Boat Key, which is one of my favorite places 140 00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.600 in Florida. If this storm is a Category four or higher. 141 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:42.360 I don't see how long Boat Key survives. It's just 142 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.279 this is a really, really really scary storm. And like 143 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:48.839 I said yesterday, if you were the prayerful sort, today's 144 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:49.759 a great day to pray. 145 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.040 Pray for the people of Florida. 146 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:52.759 By the way, were you here yesterday when we were 147 00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:53.560 talking about the guy on. 148 00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:54.759 His boat that was going to ride it out. 149 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:59.360 Yes, he's not. He's not. No, Apparently, as Lieutenant Dan. 150 00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.560 Showed up and said, don't be an idiot, because now 151 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:04.439 in Florida, here's what they do. They go on TV 152 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.439 and say, hey, if you're gonna stay, if you're going 153 00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:09.079 to write it out, do as a solid write your 154 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.879 name and your next of ken on your leg in 155 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.199 black magic marker, permanent marker, so we can identify your 156 00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.040 next of ken when we find your body. So they're 157 00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.560 on the full on scare tactics because people are in 158 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.879 this it's just going to be really, really, really bad. 159 00:07:23.920 --> 00:07:27.040 And we're still recovering in North Carolina. I mean they 160 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:31.000 they're still finding dead people in North Carolina from Helene. 161 00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:33.000 This is just a giant mess. 162 00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.319 And I've never and I just told my friend lindsay 163 00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:38.000 this on the phone, I said, Lindsay, I've never been 164 00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:39.920 more grateful that I don't live in my home state 165 00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:42.720 than right now, because you know what today is. Today 166 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:49.439 is all day waiting, just waiting and waiting and watching 167 00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:51.560 the weather channel and listening to the radio and try 168 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:52.759 it and just waiting. 169 00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:56.360 And it is agony. It's terrible. It's horrible, absolutely horrible. 170 00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:58.360 Is it still hitting tonight or is it going more 171 00:07:58.399 --> 00:07:59.720 into the morning late. 172 00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.160 I don't know right now, but they're already having hurricane 173 00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.959 force winds across southwest Florida. In the leading edge of 174 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:11.199 the story, oh, there's apparently there was a giant super 175 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.720 cell tornado in Cluiston, which is in the bottom center 176 00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:19.399 of the state. Luckily no one lives in Cluiston. It's 177 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.120 kind of a it's not a nice place. Cluiston is 178 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.600 kind of a I'm trying to think of how to 179 00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:27.879 say the word craphole on the radio without you know 180 00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.680 what I'm sayings, Cluiston is not nice. It's not nice 181 00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:35.200 at all. That being said, yeah, it's spawning all kinds 182 00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:37.399 of tornadoes. It's just got a lot of weather happening. 183 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.720 So say a prayer for your friends in Florida. Hopefully 184 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:42.720 this will not be as bad as they think it's 185 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.879 going to be and it will lessen or whatever. 186 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:45.480 I don't know. 187 00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.440 We'll talk to our chief meteorologist from Fox thirty one day, 188 00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.000 Fraser about it. Obviously he's not predicting the weather for Florida, 189 00:08:52.039 --> 00:08:55.000 but I'm guessing every meteorologist is watching this storm because 190 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.039 it has done something that no other hurricane on unmeasurable record. 191 00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:00.200 We have to be clear about that. 192 00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:05.360 It dropped below nine hundred millibars, which is not ever 193 00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.919 been measured before. It's not to say a hurricane has 194 00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:10.559 never dropped that low and been that powerful, but in 195 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:13.399 the modern era of measurements, that is the first time 196 00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.399 that's ever happened. So obviously it's on my mind today, 197 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:19.480 and I'm sorry if you guys don't care, but it's 198 00:09:19.519 --> 00:09:21.519 a really big deal and people I love and care 199 00:09:21.559 --> 00:09:23.559 about are in the way of this storm. So you're 200 00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.759 just gonna have to indulge me for just a few minutes. 201 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.840 So I appreciate that. Mandy. I'm in complete agreement with you. 202 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:31.320 If only we could have had DeSantis as our nominee, 203 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.279 this election would be a walk in the park for him. 204 00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.159 Yep, yep, yep. 205 00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.240 Mandy Desanta's press conference was on Fox this morning. He 206 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.080 was simply amazing what they have put in place, collaborative 207 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.840 work with clean up crews, hotels, uber, et cetera. 208 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:45.080 If anyone wants. 209 00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:47.559 To watch what true leadership looks like, I highly recommend 210 00:09:47.720 --> 00:09:50.639 watching it. Oh that's the other part about this. There 211 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.799 are huge, huge piles of debris on the side of 212 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:57.320 the road from Helene that have not been picked up, 213 00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:03.240 and so Desanta rallied state assets. It is not the 214 00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.399 state's responsibility to clean up hurricane debris. It is the 215 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.320 city that you live in. They contract with companies to 216 00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.639 do this, and the state said, you're not getting done. 217 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:12.840 We're going to come in and pick up as much 218 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:14.919 as we can because that stuff just becomes a missile 219 00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:18.559 after in a storm like that. So it's just what 220 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:23.799 an absolute mess this entire thing is. So uh oh, 221 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:27.440 here's one DeSantis isn't the candidate because he has beta 222 00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.639 body language that he desperately needs to work on. If 223 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:32.879 you're not voting for someone with a track record like 224 00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:35.960 Ronda Santis because you think he has beta body language, 225 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.799 please don't vote. I mean, just don't. Just save your 226 00:10:39.879 --> 00:10:44.200 vote because you're making decisions based on dumb stuff. Anyway, 227 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:46.080 let me do the blog. You can find it at 228 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:50.240 mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com.

There's a video on the 261 00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:47.200 blog today. Have a guy and he's got it. First, 262 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.080 it's you can't tell what he's doing. First, you know 263 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:52.159 that he's pulling back something on a slingshot, right, you 264 00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:54.559 can tell that he's pulling back something on a slingshot, 265 00:12:54.799 --> 00:12:57.799 he lets it fly, and then you realize he has 266 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:01.720 a fishing reel attached to the other wrist and he 267 00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:06.639 is using the slingshot to to cast from the shore. 268 00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:10.039 But cast it. I mean, how far do you think 269 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:12.080 that thing went? A rod? It went like one hundred 270 00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.360 and fifty yards at least at least at least and 271 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:20.279 I was like, dude, I want that now. It's all 272 00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:22.200 the video is in the context of another guy who 273 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.879 I really enjoy his work, sort of commenting on it. 274 00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:27.320 But how even if you don't fish, you're gonna want. 275 00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:28.120 This the follow up? 276 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.759 Does he have something automatically to really quickly reel it 277 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:32.120 back game? 278 00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:33.679 Otherwise you are no. 279 00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:36.240 I mean, fishing is reeling.

Some of those 285 00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.840 trolling lines are out two hundred yards. Some of them 286 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:49.639 are close to the boat. 287 00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:50.600 But there's trolling. 288 00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:52.919 Lines, and you have to reel and reel and real 289 00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:54.600 and real that you got to set the hook. 290 00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:56.080 Do you fish at all? 291 00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:57.960 Have you ever like, of course, okay, so you got 292 00:13:57.960 --> 00:13:58.519 to set the hook. 293 00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:02.559 Yeah, but even then hook set, that's a long time. 294 00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.080 Long time that thing stays on. Doesn't pull off the hook. 295 00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:07.360 Or the hook, right, you'll be now breaking the line. 296 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:10.480 Other thing seem to have a leader on it. There 297 00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:12.440 was no leader on the thing that I saw. 298 00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:13.279 Do I fish. 299 00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:14.759 I just spent a long time. 300 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:16.720 It's been a long time. We still have the kid 301 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.879 now never hunt fish. I'm looking he's got I'm looking. Oh, 302 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.440 come on, I'm looking to see if there's a leader 303 00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.919 on this thing. I can't tell. It goes too fast, but. 304 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.279 Yeah, he's just got the reel on his wrist. And 305 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.600 I think it's like a Zepco reel or something. I mean, 306 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.159 it's not a fancy reel. No, just like we're trying 307 00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:34.120 to give little kids. 308 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.919 When you can't realize what's happening, you're like, oh, that's cool. 309 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.039 It's very very because he's just being a menace. No, 310 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:42.559 he's doing something really cool. 311 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:42.960 Damn. 312 00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:45.799 All right, So let's talk about some stuff. We've got 313 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.360 Dave Frasier coming on at twelve thirty to talk about weather. 314 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.759 So if you have any weather questions, then you need 315 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.759 to get them ready. Obviously, we're going to talk about 316 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.360 this storm a little bit, but we're also going to 317 00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:59.080 talk about our weather, which I must say, I know 318 00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.840 it's above normal, but I am enjoying the heck out 319 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.159 of this weather. It's too hot for you. You want 320 00:15:04.159 --> 00:15:05.759 sweater weather, where's my fall? 321 00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:08.039 I mean, I'm forcing it. I'm wearing sweaters. I'm done 322 00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:09.279 with it. I'm just forcing it. 323 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:10.879 Like if I walk out of here and it's eighty 324 00:15:10.919 --> 00:15:12.960 eighty five, I'll take off the sweater by yah, absolutely 325 00:15:12.960 --> 00:15:15.559 need to. But uh, it's sweater weather for me now, 326 00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:17.440 So I don't care. Yeah, what the hell? 327 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.000 Yeah it's it's a little but I am actually enjoying it. 328 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:20.679 I'm not gonna lie. 329 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:22.960 I will ask if it wants to remain this hot, 330 00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:25.120 can it at least hold on then for two more 331 00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:28.240 weeks so I have a pretty warm like Halloween Halloween season. 332 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:31.879 I don't think there's much a near term that is 333 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:33.440 going to bring us any kind of. 334 00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:35.559 We'll have to ask Dave again every time I ask 335 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:37.080 him on the phone before, and you go, how we 336 00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.559 get closer? So I'm like, hey, almost there, can we 337 00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:42.759 forecast a little here? 338 00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:46.000 We'll find out at twelve thirty. We also have Christian 339 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.120 Toto coming on the show today. You remember after Hurricane Katrina, 340 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:53.440 Hollywood got together and they did a big, you know, 341 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:58.840 fundraiser to raise funds for those people impacted by Hurricane Katrina. 342 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:02.120 It was a con served for hurricane relief. And you 343 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.919 may remember at that point Kanye West, the anti Semitic racist. 344 00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:08.120 Oh by the way, uh, And I know you've been worried. 345 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.480 It appears that Kanye's marriage to his wife, who walks 346 00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.600 around naked all the time. 347 00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:13.840 Is over. 348 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.799 I know, I know you're devastated. The other one, he 349 00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:20.559 and Bianca, have have apparently broken up. They've gone their separate, 350 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.159 separate ways. And I thought it was forever Anthony. 351 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:26.519 Will he fall off a cliff and then make good 352 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:27.159 music again? 353 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:31.000 Maybe I could do it. 354 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:38.559 I'm gonna shake the magic eight ball. My sources say no. Yeah. Well, 355 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:42.279 I do think that Kanye West is a genius, but 356 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.240 I also think. 357 00:16:43.039 --> 00:16:44.679 He is severely mentally ill. 358 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:45.279 Yeah. 359 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:50.120 I think he has pretty severe bipolar disease, and I 360 00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:54.960 think that he needs medication. And he is extremely gifted 361 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:58.519 as well. And unfortunately, in our in our history, madness 362 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:02.919 and talent are off hand in Glove, so that is 363 00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:05.920 not all that surprising. But Kanye West, that was when 364 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.839 he said George Bush didn't care about black people when 365 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:11.160 they were doing the telethon for Katrina or whatever they 366 00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.480 were doing. So we're going to talk to Christian Toto 367 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.480 about what's happening for Hurricane Helene and obviously Hurricane Milton. 368 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.920 There's going to be needs after that, so it's going 369 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:23.680 to be well, I'm not going to hold my breath 370 00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:25.000 waiting for Hollywood to do something. 371 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:25.880 Let me just say that. 372 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:28.839 And then at two point thirty, my friend and yours, 373 00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:32.119 John Caldera, joins us from the Independence Institute. He wrote 374 00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:37.640 a great column that made me mad, really really really mad, 375 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:41.039 because as a pro oil and gas person, and I 376 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:47.839 am pro efficient, reliable energy, to be clear, and there 377 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.920 are a lot of forces in the state of Colorado 378 00:17:50.039 --> 00:17:53.319 working to shut down our oil and gas industry, and 379 00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:57.400 they've had really good success on many many issues. But 380 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:01.880 when you find out what I found out, that my 381 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:07.240 tax dollars are funding these garbage organizations that want to 382 00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:09.079 thrust us back to the Middle Ages where I guess 383 00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:12.000 we're supposed to burn donkey dung to stay warm. 384 00:18:12.079 --> 00:18:12.599 I don't know. 385 00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:17.240 But taxpayer dollars are flowing into their coffers. Oh my goodness. 386 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:19.279 Elections have consequences, you guys. 387 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:21.279 And this is the stuff. 388 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:24.440 That if we had a functioning Republican party, they would 389 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:27.640 be making hey about it. But we don't. We don't 390 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.519 have a functioning Republican party. We have Dave Williams. So 391 00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:36.759 they're not doing anything productive, just nothing. Mandy hate the 392 00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:39.480 late summer weather water bill is averaging three hundred bucks 393 00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.559 a month for a third of an acre with southern exposure. 394 00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:44.920 I would ask you this, Texter, why not just turn 395 00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:45.759 the sprinklers off? 396 00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:48.519 I keep forgetting to turn off the Am I still 397 00:18:48.519 --> 00:18:50.240 watering twice a day every day? 398 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:52.000 Yeah? No, you're not watering twice a day every day. 399 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:53.880 I am like, you know what I am. Why are 400 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:56.559 you watering twice a day? Stop? 401 00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:58.920 You can go back to once every couple of days. 402 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:01.319 No, I keep forgetting, and I know Dave's about to 403 00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:03.240 yell at me. I keep forgetting to turn off the 404 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.480 second one. Okay, mushrooms are growing. 405 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:05.880 I know. 406 00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:09.519 If your mushrooms are growing, you're way over I know, 407 00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:10.000 I am. 408 00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.960 Do you want me to remind you to turn your 409 00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:15.200 sprinklers off? To a more normal schedule. 410 00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:17.759 They're currently off today, so I can mow today, and 411 00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:19.240 then I try to remember when I look at the 412 00:19:19.240 --> 00:19:21.119 thing turn back on to turn off the second. 413 00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.839 Watery, when are you gonna blow them out? 414 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:27.279 I uh, probably like two weeks. 415 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.000 I'm scheduled for like next week. I scheduled the middle 416 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.480 of October every year. And you know what if my 417 00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:34.680 grass dies, I I don't care. I mean, it's not 418 00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:36.240 gonna die die, it's just gonna go dorm it. 419 00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:39.680 Oh the grass with that new mower, Thank you, Dwelt 420 00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:41.359 looks as gray as ever has. 421 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:43.319 I want to hold on as long as I can. Yeah, 422 00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:44.319 you're just living. 423 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:52.279 Oh god, Yeah, yeah, really was the secret. Yeah, Okay, 424 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.000 let's take a break. We're gonna come back. We're gonna 425 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:56.319 talk to Dave Fraser. Kick off the show, get it 426 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.240 moving right after this stick around Dave Fraser, Fox thirty 427 00:19:59.279 --> 00:20:01.119 one Meteorology. How are you today, sir. 428 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:02.759 I'm doing good. 429 00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:05.680 I'm doing good. I've been listening. I'm glad to hear 430 00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:09.200 that you reached out to your friends and family or 431 00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:12.920 whoever and got them to consider going and they all have. 432 00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:16.680 Everybody on the West Coast has relocated and everybody on 433 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.599 the East coast is ready. So everybody is as good 434 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:21.519 as they can be in Florida right now. And so 435 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:24.640 I want to ask you this is so I'm gonna 436 00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.079 ask you an absurd question, Okay, And even as I 437 00:20:27.160 --> 00:20:28.960 ask it to you, I know as it's coming out 438 00:20:29.000 --> 00:20:32.000 of my mouth that it's an absurd question. But going 439 00:20:32.039 --> 00:20:35.720 around the internet right now, Dave Frasier, there is all 440 00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:41.599 of this stuff about how the government is controlling the weather. Specifically, 441 00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:45.400 they made Helene go up the southeast United States right 442 00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:50.400 over the lithium mines. And that's I mean, the let's 443 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:53.160 talk about government controlling weather, shall we, Dave? Where are 444 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:54.039 we in that process? 445 00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:58.559 We're on the test pool of social media with that. 446 00:20:58.960 --> 00:21:03.559 Let's be honest. I mean, listen, there's conspiracy theorists for everything. 447 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.440 But if you're saying that any there's any way that 448 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:10.440 we can control something besize of a Heleen or a 449 00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.799 Milton and share it or drive it or direct it 450 00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:16.960 in one direction or another, Uh, there's not a chance. 451 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.200 There's just no there's no way. There's no way. So 452 00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:25.359 I'll just lead that to the conspiratorists and those on 453 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:27.759 social media to spread whatever they want through. 454 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:32.559 It's so dave. It's just it shows that this isn't 455 00:21:32.599 --> 00:21:35.559 really about weather, but it shows that people are so 456 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:41.480 distrustful of the government that they would rather believe that 457 00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:43.599 not only think about it like this. And this is 458 00:21:43.599 --> 00:21:45.400 what I said back to someone on social media not 459 00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:47.079 too long ago, who's actually a friend of mine, who 460 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.599 posted this on Facebook, and I was like, stop doing this, 461 00:21:49.799 --> 00:21:52.559 just stop doing this. This makes you look stupid because 462 00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:54.799 you have to believe that not only does a government 463 00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:58.839 send a hurricane to kill hundreds of people in Helene, 464 00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:01.640 you also have to leave that they let farmers in 465 00:22:01.680 --> 00:22:05.880 the Midwest go through horrific droughts that destroy their crops, 466 00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:09.319 that allow hailstorms to happen that destroy those crops. So 467 00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.599 you have to believe that the government is so bad 468 00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:14.759 that they would let people starve and go out of 469 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:19.599 business and then destroy their homes and livelihood and interstate highways. 470 00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:24.279 For what I mean, it's just so dumb. It's so dumb. 471 00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:24.599 Now. 472 00:22:24.720 --> 00:22:27.720 I want to ask a follow up question though, because 473 00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:31.079 there have been efforts to try and control the weather, 474 00:22:31.799 --> 00:22:34.519 the Heart program in Alaska. I mean, these are documented 475 00:22:34.640 --> 00:22:38.400 scientific experiments trying to control the weather, but to my knowledge, 476 00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:42.240 they've not been successful in any way, shape or for right. 477 00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.759 Even cloud seating. While it does, while it is a thing, 478 00:22:45.799 --> 00:22:47.759 and it does they do do it here in parts 479 00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:51.400 of Colorado, the success rate is very, very low. So, yeah, 480 00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:53.160 there's just not much you're going to do. I mean, 481 00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.200 just think about where we are, the size of the planet, 482 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:00.359 the minuscule impact that we could have in controlling the 483 00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:04.119 weather across the you know, across the planet, the strength 484 00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:05.880 of the sun, the power of the oceans. 485 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:06.880 There's just no. 486 00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:10.680 Way that I could wrap my brain around that contributions, 487 00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:13.039 you know, cloud seating and stuff like that. Sure's it's 488 00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:14.839 one of the things that frustrates me the most about 489 00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:19.319 social media, and I tend to turn a deaf ear, 490 00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:20.960 if you will. I tend to do less and less 491 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:23.480 on social media because of that. Yeah, it's just a 492 00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:25.200 lot of it's a lot of noise. And again we're 493 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:27.359 off topic with weather, but it's a lot of noise. 494 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.240 And I tell my two sons all the time, you 495 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:32.240 know two things, Stay away from Stay away from politics 496 00:23:32.240 --> 00:23:35.079 and religion unless you're comfortable discussing them with the people 497 00:23:35.079 --> 00:23:37.000 in front of you. Otherwise it just turns into a 498 00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:39.279 fight or an argument. And it's another reason why I 499 00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:43.240 don't put down the rabbit hole of global warming. You know, 500 00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:45.279 do I believe there has been? You know, are we 501 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:46.799 in a certain climate change right now? 502 00:23:46.839 --> 00:23:47.240 Certainly? 503 00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:49.279 I mean, look at just what's happened with Aline, look 504 00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.079 at what's happening with Milton. You can't argue with but 505 00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.359 you will get into an argument. There's just no right 506 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:56.559 or wrong. The minute you go in one direction on 507 00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:59.039 either side of that conversation, somebody is coming at you 508 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:01.160 from the other side. So the best thing for me 509 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:03.119 to do is just quietly sit in the background and 510 00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:04.720 let people fight amongst themselves. 511 00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:08.279 That's a great strategy. Now let's talk about our weather, 512 00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:10.319 which has been unseasonably warm. And I just said to 513 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:13.680 a Rod, I'm actually enjoying this. I could lie to you. 514 00:24:13.759 --> 00:24:16.440 I just think it's so pleasant outside. I know it's 515 00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:19.720 a little too warm for people, but it's beautiful outside, 516 00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.920 even with the smoke. And when is this going to end? 517 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:25.119 And are we going to have a warm Halloween or 518 00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:26.680 is that going to be our first big snow? 519 00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.480 So I agree with you in your assessment of it 520 00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:33.880 being you know, this type of warmth is not summer heat. Yeah, 521 00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:36.519 it's just got that warm kind of wrap around you 522 00:24:36.599 --> 00:24:38.880 kind of feel during the day. But as soon as 523 00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:41.319 we get to those earlier sunsets, the temperatures drop au 524 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:44.079 dramatically and you've got your cool, crisp nights. And that's 525 00:24:44.079 --> 00:24:46.920 the that's the balance and the great part of September 526 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.799 and October. We can have these warm days, but it's 527 00:24:49.839 --> 00:24:54.559 not the summer heat we are seeing, and it's not uncommon. 528 00:24:54.559 --> 00:24:57.000 We're getting later into the month of October. The sun's 529 00:24:57.000 --> 00:24:59.640 angle is getting lower, the days are getting shorter. So 530 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.039 as I'm sitting here doing the forecast right now, one 531 00:25:03.079 --> 00:25:05.240 of the things we're seeing is two cold fronts coming 532 00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.880 our way. The first one comes on Friday, gets us 533 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.720 out of the eighties and down into about the mid seventies. 534 00:25:10.920 --> 00:25:13.920 Nice refreshing, little change. Right now, Denver's average is about 535 00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:17.400 sixty eight degrees. There's a second cold front coming, so 536 00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:19.839 we'll one back up on Saturday into the low eighties. 537 00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:23.039 The second one comes in Sunday. That one looks to 538 00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:25.839 have cool enough air behind it that it will sit 539 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.039 and stay. So our forecast is actually going to be 540 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:32.680 a mix of upper sixties. More seasonal readings starting early 541 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:35.880 next week and some low seventies. But right now, once 542 00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:39.119 we get beyond Saturday's eighty degree temperature, I don't see 543 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:41.720 eighties coming back at this point, within at least the 544 00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:45.240 next ten days. However, we do look to stay dry, 545 00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:47.759 that part of the equation is not going to change. 546 00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:52.160 So the we're not even I mean I don't even 547 00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.359 have to bring my plants in from outside yet. We're 548 00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:57.039 not even looking at that, like we're not even sniffing 549 00:25:57.119 --> 00:25:58.680 our first freeze yet. 550 00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.039 No. 551 00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:01.160 And I heard you in a Rod talking about the 552 00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:03.279 sprinkler system. I know you've got yours playing a lot 553 00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.200 of people like you have them scheduled out ahead of time, 554 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:08.440 and it's gonna they're gonna come and shut them off whenever. 555 00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:10.559 And if you're okay with your long going dormit, it 556 00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:12.720 is that time of the year anyway. Your grass is 557 00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:15.039 probably looking green. Like a Rod talked about, I did, 558 00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:21.240 chastising him about spending too much money and throwing must Yeah, yeah, 559 00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.559 just throwing money away. Listen, your grass looks green, and 560 00:26:24.599 --> 00:26:26.799 it's great. It's because of the cool Chris Knight, but 561 00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:28.799 it's not growing like it does in the summer, so 562 00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:31.519 you should be reducing your water dramatically. You should not 563 00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:34.160 be watering as much. Save the money, put it in 564 00:26:34.200 --> 00:26:36.960 your pocket. Don't worry about blowing your sprinklers out to 565 00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:39.359 your yet if you don't want to, because your trees 566 00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:42.400 and your shrubs could use a drink. But keep an 567 00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:45.359 eye on the forecast to that first shot at fleezing temperatures, 568 00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:47.119 and that's when you're going to want to start. And 569 00:26:47.160 --> 00:26:49.119 I will tell you that's not for the next ten days, 570 00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.000 so you can leave them on if you've got them scheduled, 571 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:53.119 like many have blown out, blown out and call it 572 00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:54.160 a season, all right. 573 00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:55.920 So let me ask you this question from a texter. 574 00:26:56.039 --> 00:26:57.400 I gotta find it because a lot of texts have 575 00:26:57.519 --> 00:27:03.640 come in now. It says, please ask Dave. Is this 576 00:27:03.680 --> 00:27:07.839 a warm pattern going so late, the new normal going forward, 577 00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:10.039 or just a random off year. 578 00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:11.519 I mean, we kind of talked about. 579 00:27:11.720 --> 00:27:14.079 I'm with you. It's apparent to me the earth is 580 00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:18.160 warming right. The underpinnings will leave to others to discuss 581 00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:20.920 right now, but is this going to be our new normal? 582 00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:22.759 Are we going to have warm falls? Or is it 583 00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:24.599 too soon to tell? 584 00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:24.880 You? 585 00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:27.759 Know what we have seen? I think what we need 586 00:27:27.920 --> 00:27:31.279 is a larger database to look at it to see 587 00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:34.759 if we can determine whether it is a new due 588 00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:36.640 to climate change, and whether it's new or not. I 589 00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:39.960 think we would need probably maybe ten years worth of records. 590 00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.279 We had seen some warm Septembers and Octobers of late. 591 00:27:43.839 --> 00:27:46.480 We've also noticed in the last couple of years, and 592 00:27:46.519 --> 00:27:49.279 you may have noticed this as well, that March and 593 00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:52.039 April we always tut as our snowiest months. But I 594 00:27:52.079 --> 00:27:54.799 think in the last six years, feb you're worry, yeah, 595 00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:58.440 has outdone March as the snowiest months. So could that 596 00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:01.519 signal the change in kind the maybe a flight shift 597 00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:04.920 in the seasons where fall hangs or summer goes a 598 00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.359 little later and winter starts a little later and it 599 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:10.359 ramps up and then spring comes. I think we need 600 00:28:10.400 --> 00:28:12.720 a bigger database to be able to really be able 601 00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:15.480 to say with any kind of concrete evidence that yeah, 602 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.559 we might be seeing as shift. But remember that the 603 00:28:19.680 --> 00:28:23.160 climate is cyclical. We know that over the duration and 604 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.759 while we've had records, for instance here in Denver going 605 00:28:25.799 --> 00:28:28.480 back to eighteen seventy two I heard you talking earlier, 606 00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:31.599 there are things that we can't compare before we had 607 00:28:31.640 --> 00:28:34.640 records For instance, you mentioned the mill of bars for 608 00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.200 low pressure as it relates to hurricanes. We didn't even 609 00:28:37.240 --> 00:28:40.119 start keeping those records from nineteen seventy nine, so our 610 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:43.319 database is not very deep when it comes to the 611 00:28:43.359 --> 00:28:45.720 history of weather and climate on this planet. 612 00:28:46.319 --> 00:28:51.960 All right, So that is I have nothing to add 613 00:28:52.000 --> 00:28:54.160 because I think you're right. So we'll just leave it 614 00:28:54.200 --> 00:28:57.279 at that. What is our immediate forecast before we let 615 00:28:57.359 --> 00:28:57.680 you go? 616 00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.240 Eighties today? A little smoke in the air, not in Denver. 617 00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.240 We've got beautiful air from Denver to the south, and 618 00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:07.000 you should get into the northeast corner. Some of that 619 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:10.039 smoke should lift out. We're sunny and dry again. I 620 00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:13.359 think we're about eighty four tomorrow. I think we're seventy 621 00:29:13.400 --> 00:29:16.240 four on Friday. I think we're eighty one, eighty two 622 00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.960 on Saturday. And then I've got probably around seventy Sunday, 623 00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:23.200 upper sixties, Monday, seventy one, seventy two, just about every 624 00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:26.160 day next week. And your overnight lows here's the key, 625 00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:29.519 may get down a couple of mornings into the upper thirties, 626 00:29:29.680 --> 00:29:32.319 not cold enough to be worried about sprinklers, but maybe 627 00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:34.279 a little cross on the pumpkin in a few places 628 00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.720 all weather weather a rod. 629 00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:40.480 Little frost on the pumpkin almost sounds dirty. Dave Fraser, 630 00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:45.000 I'm just like Dave ay Rod. Once again, no snow 631 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:45.640 on Halloween. 632 00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:49.400 Right As of right now, the forecast continues to look 633 00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:51.279 dry and warmth for the month. We're run about a 634 00:29:51.359 --> 00:29:53.799 nine degree average above for the month of October. 635 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:57.000 All right on thirty one, Chief Meteorologist Dave Fraser. 636 00:29:57.000 --> 00:29:58.559 I appreciate you. We'll talk to you next week. 637 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:02.960 Saying back, they say, we will be right back. A 638 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:09.880 lot of you weighing in. Mandy, I wonder if you 639 00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.599 could talk about climate change for a minute sometime. My 640 00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:14.880 personal view is that the climate may be changing, but 641 00:30:14.960 --> 00:30:18.039 it is totally natural and organic thing and has nothing 642 00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:21.440 to do with mankind. My proof of this is ice ages. 643 00:30:21.839 --> 00:30:24.079 The entire planet cooled off on its own enough to 644 00:30:24.119 --> 00:30:27.039 produce an ice age, then the planet warmed enough to 645 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:29.480 melt all of that ice, all without coal fired power 646 00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.240 plants or tailor swift flying around or whatever the environmental 647 00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:35.200 wackos claim is causing the warming. This has been going 648 00:30:35.200 --> 00:30:38.599 on literally for hundreds of thousands of years. That's my view. 649 00:30:38.720 --> 00:30:41.440 Wonder what you think We've talked about this a lot 650 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.519 in the past, but I tend to side with you. 651 00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:51.599 Texture I for years, long, long, long years. When I 652 00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:53.160 first got my show in two thousand and five, when 653 00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:56.200 I was in Fort Myers, I sought out scientists who 654 00:30:56.279 --> 00:31:00.119 had alternative theories of why the Earth is warming. These 655 00:31:00.200 --> 00:31:02.359 were not people who said, the Earth isn't warming. 656 00:31:02.079 --> 00:31:02.599 That's crazy. 657 00:31:02.599 --> 00:31:05.000 These were people who said, yeah, the climate is warning, 658 00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:07.240 but here are some reasons that that could be happening. 659 00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.640 And what I discovered time and time and time again 660 00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:14.640 is talking to these scientists, it was almost impossible for 661 00:31:14.680 --> 00:31:18.839 them to get funding to study their theories about alternative 662 00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.200 reasons for this global warming. And when I started hearing 663 00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:24.000 that over and over and over again, it made the 664 00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:27.359 entire thing extremely suspect. And as the years have gone on, 665 00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:30.599 I am getting more and more suspect, even as there 666 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:34.000 seems to be more and more scientists who say, Yep, absolutely, 667 00:31:34.039 --> 00:31:34.759 it's our fault. 668 00:31:35.279 --> 00:31:35.559 Now. 669 00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:40.599 The notion that somehow we can predict the climate in 670 00:31:40.640 --> 00:31:42.759 one hundred years when we can't predict the weather in 671 00:31:42.839 --> 00:31:46.200 thirty days, on the face of it, is just ridiculous. 672 00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:49.599 And that's kind of where I'm sitting right now, right, 673 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:55.119 that is where I'm sitting at this moment. But I 674 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:58.440 am inclined to believe that, like you, we only have 675 00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:00.920 good record keeping from the late eighteen hundreds. 676 00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:03.079 Okay, that's what everybody says. 677 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:07.200 This is the strongest storm any history. Nope, it's the 678 00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:11.039 strongest storm in recorded history, which is a much different 679 00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:13.640 sort of thing. And when you look at, say the 680 00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:17.440 number of hurricanes, they're not more hurricanes. 681 00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:17.759 Than there was before. 682 00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:20.440 So there's a lot of this stuff that's bandied about 683 00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:22.039 as oh, look at this is proof a man made 684 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.400 global warming that certainly is not. And I happen to 685 00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:29.240 be of the mindset that we have so little control 686 00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:35.079 over what the Earth does that it's almost ridiculous for 687 00:32:35.200 --> 00:32:41.920 us to try and stop climate change instead of adapting 688 00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.720 to climate change. Imagine if we took all the money 689 00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:48.960 that we're trying to spend stopping climate change when we've 690 00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:53.680 had no record of history of any success of stopping 691 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:56.119 anything climate related. I mean, think about it. The Mayans 692 00:32:56.519 --> 00:33:01.240 through virgins into volcanoes, They sacrificed young in in order 693 00:33:01.279 --> 00:33:05.160 to appease the gods and change the weather. What some 694 00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:07.839 of the stuff we're doing now is is just as 695 00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:12.000 stupid in my view, and if we really want to 696 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:13.880 make an impact, then we should direct all of our 697 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:17.440 attention and all of our energies into how to mitigate 698 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:21.559 climate change, and that means figuring out new ways of farming. 699 00:33:21.599 --> 00:33:23.680 I actually have a really cool story on the blog today. 700 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:25.240 As a matter of fact, Arod, I want you to 701 00:33:25.240 --> 00:33:29.160 get these people on the air. They're in Sidalia and 702 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.559 they are growing the equivalent of two and a half 703 00:33:32.640 --> 00:33:37.559 acres of produce in shipping containers, and they can do 704 00:33:37.680 --> 00:33:40.160 this in any kind of weather. They can do it 705 00:33:40.279 --> 00:33:44.079 in any kind of a climate. And I think to myself, 706 00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:46.480 these are the people that we should be paying attention to, 707 00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:49.039 because they are the ones that are going to help 708 00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:52.400 us mitigate the effects of climate change that I honestly 709 00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.200 don't believe we can have that much of an impact on. 710 00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:59.359 I just don't, So you know, that's where we are 711 00:33:59.359 --> 00:34:01.799 at this moment. So I'm kind of with you. I 712 00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:05.759 think it is a fool's errand and just hubris that 713 00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:08.199 leads us to believe that we can control the climate. 714 00:34:09.079 --> 00:34:13.440 I truly do not believe that at all, because we've 715 00:34:13.480 --> 00:34:16.039 never been successful in doing it. It's like controlling the weather. 716 00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.079 People are talking about us controlling the weather, and I'm like, really, really, 717 00:34:20.760 --> 00:34:25.840 it's just so dumb. People keep asking Mandy. I would 718 00:34:25.920 --> 00:34:27.719 like to hear if you saw the CD eight debate 719 00:34:27.800 --> 00:34:30.800 last night between Evans and Caraveo, moderated by Kyle Clark 720 00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:34.119 and Marshall Zellinger. It wasn't a moderation, it was a grilling. 721 00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:37.840 Clark went full MSNBC with his dishonest Trump is racist 722 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:41.480 and Trump is Hitler type comments injected into his moderation. Well, 723 00:34:42.119 --> 00:34:45.079 my issue with last night's debate is less about Kyle 724 00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:48.480 Clark and more about the fact the candidates refused to 725 00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:52.360 answer questions and both Caraveo and Evans did it last night, 726 00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:53.079 and I'm over it. 727 00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:55.280 But I'm not going to talk about it next. I'm 728 00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:56.159 going to talk about. 729 00:34:55.920 --> 00:34:58.719 It at one thirty because next we've got Christian Toto 730 00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:03.360 coming up. Fascinating column he's written about how Hollywood apparently 731 00:35:04.119 --> 00:35:07.320 doesn't care about white people. I will explain after we 732 00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:08.920 get back with Christian Toto. 733 00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:11.960 The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock 734 00:35:12.039 --> 00:35:13.480 Accident and injury Lawyers. 735 00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:20.960 No, it's Mandy Connell and John on koa. 736 00:35:22.159 --> 00:35:31.960 Ninety one FM, got the Nicey's, The Three, Mandy Donald, 737 00:35:32.079 --> 00:35:36.280 Keith sad Thing, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome. 738 00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.599 To the second hour of the show and joining us 739 00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:42.360 now fan favorite and host favorite Christian Toto of the 740 00:35:42.480 --> 00:35:46.639 Hollywood in Toto website and podcast and now YouTube channel. 741 00:35:46.719 --> 00:35:49.800 He is everywhere a man about town, but he still 742 00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:52.960 has time to write incredibly good stuff about Hollywood, and 743 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:56.239 that's what we're talking about today. Christian, Welcome back to 744 00:35:56.239 --> 00:35:56.519 the show. 745 00:35:56.559 --> 00:36:01.000 Of course, first, thank you, fan. I think you're stretching 746 00:36:01.039 --> 00:36:02.000 out a bit, but I'll take it. 747 00:36:02.199 --> 00:36:04.119 You are a fan favorite and you're a host's favorite, 748 00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:06.079 which is more important than being a fan favorite, right 749 00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:07.719 because I get to decide who comes on the show. 750 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:08.320 I agree. 751 00:36:08.440 --> 00:36:13.000 I had no idea that Hollywood hates white people as 752 00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:15.320 much as they do, but this is what we're seeing, right. 753 00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:19.199 Well, I wouldn't go that far. I think there's some 754 00:36:19.280 --> 00:36:22.559 other cultural factors here, but I did recall. I mean, 755 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.800 I think we all remember how Hollywood rallied around the 756 00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:28.719 victims of the Hurricane Katrina catastrophe, and I think that 757 00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:31.400 was a wonderful thing. And of course when Kanye West 758 00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:34.760 said George Bush hates black people, that was a detour 759 00:36:35.360 --> 00:36:38.039 for sure, But you know, Hollywood in general can be 760 00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:41.519 very generous. They open their pockets and their purses and 761 00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:43.960 their wallets, and when there's a tragedy in the country 762 00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.159 sometimes they do wonderful things, and they really are generous 763 00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:49.679 to a fault. And I thought, where is that today 764 00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:53.360 after Hurricane Helene. I just haven't seen it, and there 765 00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:55.840 are little pockets. I think country music stars have been 766 00:36:55.880 --> 00:36:59.039 the most aggressive in the space, but generally speaking, I 767 00:36:59.159 --> 00:37:01.320 just think the indust he's been kind of quiet. So 768 00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:04.920 I did some comparing and contrasting to what happened nearly 769 00:37:05.000 --> 00:37:07.519 twenty years ago with Kristina compared to what's happening now, 770 00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:10.760 and it's like night and day, and I think that's 771 00:37:11.440 --> 00:37:12.559 I don't think that's an accident. 772 00:37:12.920 --> 00:37:15.920 Well, a couple of things that I would suggest, and 773 00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.280 I'm not asserting this to be accurate at all, but 774 00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:24.000 one of them is it's like everyone is so consumed 775 00:37:24.840 --> 00:37:28.360 with politics at this moment in time, it's like real life. 776 00:37:28.840 --> 00:37:30.039 They can't let it get in the way. 777 00:37:30.320 --> 00:37:32.800 They have to keep the eye on the political prize 778 00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:36.119 and they have to keep that going. And do you 779 00:37:36.199 --> 00:37:39.559 think that's part of it that they are just otherwise engaged. 780 00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:40.000 Right now. 781 00:37:43.000 --> 00:37:44.840 I think it's a small part of it, but I 782 00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.360 think there's other factors in play. I mean, I think 783 00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:49.280 the two biggest things we're talking about is that the 784 00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:52.480 media is really not going wall to wall with the 785 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:56.280 hurricane damage and what's going on like they did with Kristina, 786 00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:58.480 and then I was like that was necessary and needed. 787 00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.239 I don't think that's happening quite so much today. So 788 00:38:01.320 --> 00:38:03.599 I think that's sometimes the stars take the cues from 789 00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:06.760 the media that they consume, which is uniformly left leaning, 790 00:38:06.880 --> 00:38:09.400 like they are. But I also think that to draw 791 00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:13.920 attention to this crisis showcases how inept the government has 792 00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:16.320 been in this crisis, and you've got the Biden Harris 793 00:38:16.360 --> 00:38:19.599 administration pulling those strings, and I think they realize that 794 00:38:19.760 --> 00:38:22.440 some people may connect those dots. That's my theory. You 795 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:24.800 can disagree, you know. It's funny. I wrote about this 796 00:38:25.039 --> 00:38:27.039 yesterday at my sight and I ran a past a 797 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:29.639 couple of friends. The idea behind this, This is not bad, 798 00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:31.559 I said, am I on the right page here? It's 799 00:38:31.599 --> 00:38:34.400 just fair And they wrote back and they they're pretty 800 00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:35.920 straight with me. They said, yeah, I think you're right. 801 00:38:36.079 --> 00:38:38.559 So it was it was a subject I didn't want 802 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:41.360 to go into easily, so glibly, but I think there's 803 00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:42.360 merit here well. 804 00:38:42.480 --> 00:38:46.079 And ultimately it comes back to politics, right to your point, 805 00:38:46.800 --> 00:38:51.159 if they focus on the devastation of Helene and the aftermath, 806 00:38:51.239 --> 00:38:55.199 which has really been you know, bad, It's been really bad. 807 00:38:55.320 --> 00:38:57.599 Part of it is terrain in North Carolina, which has 808 00:38:57.639 --> 00:39:02.280 made everything really really difficult. But the conflicting stories coming 809 00:39:02.360 --> 00:39:05.519 out about whether or not the government is responding. You 810 00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:09.199 have governmental officials saying everything is going along, and then 811 00:39:09.199 --> 00:39:12.440 you have the people of North Carolina on TikTok going no, 812 00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:16.159 it's not, no, it's not nothing is good, nothing is fixed. 813 00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:18.960 So I agree with you that the political aspect of 814 00:39:19.039 --> 00:39:22.480 this is important, But isn't that sad? 815 00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:23.400 You know? 816 00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:26.119 I mean, we're still talking about human tragedy here, and 817 00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:31.920 to downplay human tragedy for political gain or to avoid 818 00:39:32.719 --> 00:39:36.559 the appearance of political blame is just a really sad 819 00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:38.519 state of affairs in our country right now. 820 00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:44.400 It is will stop. And I think that's the state 821 00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:46.920 of affairs country right now. I think we're see it 822 00:39:47.000 --> 00:39:49.559 in so many ways, you know. I also recorded how 823 00:39:50.119 --> 00:39:52.400 after Hurricane Katrina, I think it was five or six 824 00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:56.440 days where a major you know, celebrity telethon took kicked 825 00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:59.280 in and how the response was so swift, and you know, 826 00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:03.280 I believe this hurricane landed maybe run the twenty sixth, 827 00:40:03.320 --> 00:40:06.719 twenty seventh around there, and you know of September, so 828 00:40:06.920 --> 00:40:08.840 you know, it's been a while and you think that 829 00:40:08.960 --> 00:40:11.159 that would be enough time for that message to go forward, 830 00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:13.920 you know. But also this is the media saying, oh 831 00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:17.480 my gosh, there's potentially a huge story here of government ineptitude. 832 00:40:18.119 --> 00:40:20.320 Let's not have reporters on the scene or on the 833 00:40:20.400 --> 00:40:24.719 ground and pull our resources into confirming this is what's happening. 834 00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:27.679 It's like, standback, we'll take the government's narrative and we'll 835 00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:30.199 make fun of those yoguls who are saying there's problems 836 00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:33.039 on the ground. So, you know, it's such a big 837 00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:36.360 picture catastrophe in so many ways beyond the obvious tragedy 838 00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:40.360 in people's loss of lives and things. It's American in 839 00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:42.000 twenty twenty four, and it's ugly. 840 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:43.480 It's incredibly ugly. 841 00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:46.760 And now we're having Hurricane Milton bearing down on Florida, 842 00:40:46.800 --> 00:40:50.559 which is run by a Republican governor, and I have 843 00:40:50.760 --> 00:40:54.199 a feeling that the silence. The silence will get even 844 00:40:54.239 --> 00:40:57.920 more deafening from Hollywood after this storm hits, don't you think. 845 00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.480 Yeah, I mean, I think that Governor DeSantis has proven 846 00:41:02.519 --> 00:41:05.320 to be quite capable when these tragedies strike there his 847 00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:08.960 home state there, and so there's not much to bite on, 848 00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:11.079 so they won't cover it as much. I mean, they 849 00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:13.400 will to a certain degree, but it'd be much more 850 00:41:13.480 --> 00:41:15.519 fun for the journalists. I mean, listen, you and I 851 00:41:15.599 --> 00:41:20.119 have talked for years. Journalism used to be imbalanced, biased 852 00:41:20.320 --> 00:41:23.320 partners in it is now full blown corrupt. And I 853 00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:26.000 hate to say that, and I don't say it loosely, 854 00:41:26.360 --> 00:41:28.480 but what you're seeing is the end of this institution 855 00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:31.840 as far as being trustworthy. There's something going on right now. 856 00:41:31.880 --> 00:41:35.880 At CBS at sixty minutes, we've been editing the Kamala 857 00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:38.400 Harris interview to death. I mean it just every day 858 00:41:38.440 --> 00:41:41.440 there's a new scandal. So that's part of what we're 859 00:41:41.480 --> 00:41:43.800 talking about here. It's just part of the thing. And 860 00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:45.719 by the way, you know, we also had a year's 861 00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:51.960 worth of hostages under the Hamas threat, and Hollywood has 862 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:56.320 been almost completely silent. I can name with people and 863 00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:58.840 I can use one hand to name the people speaking out. 864 00:41:59.119 --> 00:42:02.400 It's Patricia heat And this, Michael Rappaport, It's Deborah Messing, 865 00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:05.679 it's Amy Schumer. It's more or less it yeah, about 866 00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:09.760 hostages conquered by terrorists or and some of them are 867 00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:13.840 Americans who are still, you know, being held and may 868 00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:17.920 not survive. And Hollywood doesn't give a damn because they 869 00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:20.800 know it reflects badly on their party. Remember, just yeah, 870 00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:23.599 please argue with me, please, you know, play Devil's advocate. 871 00:42:23.679 --> 00:42:25.360 Now what other excuse can there be? 872 00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:27.400 I've actually and I don't know if you saw this 873 00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:31.800 story coming out of CBS News about what happened to 874 00:42:32.159 --> 00:42:35.679 CBS News Morning anchor Tony Deakoople. 875 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:38.119 Did you see this story? Oh my god? No, So 876 00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:39.000 he interviews. 877 00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:42.800 It's a perfect microcosm of how far journalism has fallen. 878 00:42:43.199 --> 00:42:45.800 A journalist does and random act of journalism to quote 879 00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:48.519 the late great Rush Limbaugh, and he has to do 880 00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:52.800 a struggle session to apologize. It is shocking and embarrassing, 881 00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:55.679 but it really isn't shocking because that's where journalism is sty. 882 00:42:55.599 --> 00:42:59.119 And to bring everybody up to speed, CBS Morning co 883 00:42:59.239 --> 00:43:01.880 anchor Tony to and I think I'm saying his name right. 884 00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:05.559 He did an interview with noted racist and anti semi 885 00:43:05.719 --> 00:43:10.360 Tennehisi Coats. Right, So, Tennyhisi Coats rose to fame during 886 00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:14.000 the Black Lives Matter movement by telling white people that 887 00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:16.480 we were inherently corrupt and wrong and racist and there 888 00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:17.599 was nothing we could do about it. 889 00:43:18.119 --> 00:43:19.199 I can't stand this guy. 890 00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:21.840 And he's written a new book that apparently is an 891 00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:27.559 absolutely one sided polemic against Israel, and CBS journalist Tony 892 00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:31.360 Dekoople had the nerve to push back, and he had 893 00:43:31.400 --> 00:43:34.079 the nerve to question him and push him on some 894 00:43:34.199 --> 00:43:36.920 of these things and talk about the more extremeist elements 895 00:43:37.000 --> 00:43:40.719 of this book. That does not mention hamas hezbala Aran, 896 00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:43.360 not one time does it mention the Dafadas, Does it 897 00:43:43.440 --> 00:43:45.800 mention any of that? Does it mention little children being 898 00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:48.960 blown up in pizza parlors? And Tony pushed back, and 899 00:43:49.199 --> 00:43:52.280 CBS apparently called all the journalists into some kind of 900 00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:57.119 zoom meeting to chastise them for doing journalism, And it's like, 901 00:43:57.280 --> 00:43:59.199 what are we doing? Who do we trust? 902 00:43:59.320 --> 00:43:59.440 Now? 903 00:44:00.639 --> 00:44:03.000 That's really what it comes down to me, Christian, because 904 00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:05.119 I know you feel the same way I do. A 905 00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:11.840 robust and an earnest journalism. Media is incredibly important to us. 906 00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:13.239 Who do we trust? 907 00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:13.440 Now? 908 00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:14.519 Where do we look? 909 00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:19.320 The numbers are dwindling. I can't you and that very 910 00:44:19.360 --> 00:44:21.320 small group I also, Megan Kelly, I think does a 911 00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:24.400 mostly wonderful job. I used to think Tucker Carlson fell 912 00:44:24.440 --> 00:44:26.920 in that category. He no longer falls in that category 913 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:29.880 at all, and that breaks my heart. Yeah, it's a 914 00:44:30.000 --> 00:44:32.960 it's a very very small group of people who you 915 00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:35.760 are you can take to the bank. Michael Schellenberger I 916 00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:40.079 think has been oh yeah, a leading light on following 917 00:44:40.159 --> 00:44:42.920 up on censorship concerns. He's literally on the Joe Rogan 918 00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:46.559 Show as we speak, a new episode. So yeah, it's 919 00:44:46.679 --> 00:44:50.159 it's a frightening situation we're in. We have more information 920 00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.559 than ever, more ways to share it, and I just 921 00:44:52.599 --> 00:44:53.760 don't know who to take to the bank. 922 00:44:53.840 --> 00:44:54.440 I just don't. 923 00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:57.840 So I am now a subscriber to the Free Press. 924 00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:00.920 I try to support all these little into the you know, 925 00:45:01.159 --> 00:45:05.559 journalistic endeavors that are usually disaffected journalists from places like 926 00:45:05.639 --> 00:45:07.559 the New York Times and CBS and all of these 927 00:45:07.599 --> 00:45:10.599 other places. But I think it is it's I don't 928 00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:13.800 want to oversell this, but I think it's dangerous that 929 00:45:13.960 --> 00:45:19.639 we have a large national media that is very invested 930 00:45:19.679 --> 00:45:22.960 in one political party. And I don't know exactly how 931 00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:25.000 to fix this, but I read this story at CBS. 932 00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:29.159 I was genuinely horrified that people were called to the carpet. 933 00:45:29.159 --> 00:45:31.000 For asking difficult questions. 934 00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:33.480 And that's what's happening now. It's like, oh, I'm sorry, 935 00:45:33.559 --> 00:45:35.639 you can only ask difficult questions of those on the right. 936 00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:40.440 Listen, we can fix the media. They have no shame, 937 00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:42.960 they have no scruples. The only thing we can do 938 00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:45.280 is to gently reach out to people who are our 939 00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:47.360 center left, who are saying who are people that we 940 00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:50.760 love who may disagree with us politically, and just show 941 00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:53.920 them piece by piece, story by story. Can you see 942 00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:56.800 how corrupt the media is? Can you understand that? 943 00:45:57.320 --> 00:45:57.480 Now? 944 00:45:57.800 --> 00:46:02.000 Act accordingly. It's it's maybe the most dangerous part of 945 00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:04.840 our country right now. Is what you're describing. Dangerous is 946 00:46:04.920 --> 00:46:07.519 the right word it is. It is critical that we 947 00:46:07.679 --> 00:46:11.039 do that because otherwise I don't know what the alternative is. 948 00:46:11.079 --> 00:46:13.360 And by the way, you know, when jd. Vance is 949 00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:15.639 out there in a debate, he's sharp as attack because 950 00:46:15.960 --> 00:46:19.239 he's been questioned by tough journalists over the last how 951 00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:21.920 many weeks and Governor Tim Waltz is doing his I'm 952 00:46:21.960 --> 00:46:24.800 a knucklehead routine because he's never faced a tough question. 953 00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:27.119 That's what you get when you have journalists who are 954 00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:27.840 on one side. 955 00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:30.320 I gotta let me touch on JD. Vans for just 956 00:46:30.360 --> 00:46:32.559 a second, because this kind of goes to the bigger picture. 957 00:46:33.079 --> 00:46:36.079 JD Vance in that debate may have shown the way 958 00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:41.519 forward when it comes to dealing with the blatantly biased 959 00:46:41.960 --> 00:46:45.039 media that is running debates, that is asking questions. He 960 00:46:45.199 --> 00:46:50.760 came across as a happy warrior. He's obviously incredibly intelligent. Unfortunately, 961 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:53.320 I don't think a lot of our top tier politicians 962 00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:57.599 have the mental brain power to do the same. But 963 00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:02.639 that to me that they probably open the eyes of 964 00:47:02.679 --> 00:47:07.519 a few more people about how biased the media really is. 965 00:47:07.719 --> 00:47:08.599 What are your thoughts on that? 966 00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:12.519 I mean, I agree, I think that's the right approach. 967 00:47:12.599 --> 00:47:15.400 You can't really come at someone and say how you're wrong. 968 00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:18.519 See this isn't wave news stories in your hand, because 969 00:47:18.559 --> 00:47:21.679 then their defenses rise up and they're not going to 970 00:47:21.719 --> 00:47:25.320 accept the information. You know, we glibally talk about people 971 00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:28.000 being red pilled, but that's what has to happen organically 972 00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:31.800 for this to change, the media will not change. They 973 00:47:31.840 --> 00:47:35.280 seem almost immune to criticism at this point. We need 974 00:47:35.360 --> 00:47:38.800 to have people who are smart and sensible and cautious 975 00:47:39.039 --> 00:47:42.199 and gentle, but firm with the facts on their side 976 00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:45.639 and speak rationally to break through what's going on. And 977 00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:49.039 Jade Vance is a great person in that arena, but 978 00:47:49.159 --> 00:47:52.679 we need thousands of him to move forward. And yeah, listen, 979 00:47:52.719 --> 00:47:55.599 he's a unique politician. And this at the stage they're 980 00:47:55.599 --> 00:47:56.519 a country. It's sad. 981 00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:01.559 You can always find great great grace movie reviews, TV 982 00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:05.000 reviews at Christian's website, Hollywood and Toto. He's got a 983 00:48:05.079 --> 00:48:07.320 great podcast as well, where he interviews a lot of 984 00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.880 people from the industry. I want to ask you specifically 985 00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:14.159 about the new movie The Apprentice about Donald Trump, because 986 00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:19.000 I yes, I have a friend who saw it. She 987 00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:23.000 is Mary Left, and she said, this film is just brilliant. 988 00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:26.239 It's just brilliant, and immediately I knew I wasn't gonna 989 00:48:26.239 --> 00:48:29.159 see it because it obviously spoon fed her everything that 990 00:48:29.280 --> 00:48:30.760 she wanted to see about Donald Trump. 991 00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:32.000 What are your thoughts on that film? 992 00:48:34.239 --> 00:48:37.280 Yeah, listen, it's gonna get a split reaction, for sure. 993 00:48:37.559 --> 00:48:40.599 I listen, I'm voting for Trump. I'm supporting Trump. I'm 994 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:43.480 not a Trump fan per se. I see the flaws, 995 00:48:43.599 --> 00:48:45.039 I'm not immune to them. And I think that would 996 00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:47.400 make a very powerful story about his life in the 997 00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:49.639 eighties and how he rose up to power. And I 998 00:48:49.679 --> 00:48:51.760 think there are elements of that in the film. The 999 00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:53.840 first half is not bad at all, and it does 1000 00:48:53.920 --> 00:48:57.719 kind of chart that great performances from Jeremy Strong Strong 1001 00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:01.800 as Roy Cohen, his fixer, and Sebastian Stan does a 1002 00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:05.159 nice job as Trump. But eventually you just see what's 1003 00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:07.519 going on. You see the fix. Yeah, and this is 1004 00:49:07.559 --> 00:49:11.039 about demonizing Trump. This is about attacking Trump. And what 1005 00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:14.199 it does so poorly is it robs Trump of any 1006 00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:18.719 humanity seen by scene by scene, He's shown as a monster, 1007 00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:21.559 and you know, like many people, he has multiple sides. 1008 00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:24.320 He's very funny, he could be generous, he could be charming, 1009 00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:27.960 and by not having any of that there, you're just basically, 1010 00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:32.199 you know, torpedoing your own film, and so it becomes 1011 00:49:32.400 --> 00:49:36.400 what was marginally interesting into an absolute, unabashed hit piece, 1012 00:49:36.679 --> 00:49:39.679 which is not entertaining, which is rather dull. And listen, 1013 00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:41.400 if you want to get all that I just watched 1014 00:49:41.400 --> 00:49:42.440 Stephen Colbert at night. 1015 00:49:42.559 --> 00:49:43.239 That's what you get. 1016 00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:46.519 But they should have told a great, interesting movie from 1017 00:49:46.559 --> 00:49:49.360 a deeply flawed but fascinating figure. There's a great movie 1018 00:49:49.400 --> 00:49:51.679 to be told about that, this, ain't it. 1019 00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:52.320 Yeah? 1020 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:52.800 Yeah? 1021 00:49:53.320 --> 00:49:53.960 And that's the thing. 1022 00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:56.920 It's like Donald Trump, like, take the politics out of it. 1023 00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:01.880 What an interesting, complex person. This is right. I mean, 1024 00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:05.000 you don't have to embellish, you don't have to try 1025 00:50:05.079 --> 00:50:08.920 and add anything, because his entire life is razzle dazzle, 1026 00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:13.639 and his entire life is this constructed persona that to 1027 00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:15.639 me would should be a slam dunk. 1028 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:15.920 For a movie. 1029 00:50:16.039 --> 00:50:18.199 It really should. And yet here we are. Here we 1030 00:50:18.280 --> 00:50:22.480 are Christian Toto. Yeah, I appreciate you. Uh, Christian, I 1031 00:50:22.519 --> 00:50:26.880 appreciate you making time. I always read your site before 1032 00:50:26.920 --> 00:50:28.679 I go see a movie. I needed to ask you 1033 00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:31.320 before we go though about the new Demi Moore movie. 1034 00:50:31.400 --> 00:50:32.559 Have you reviewed this thing yet? 1035 00:50:34.920 --> 00:50:35.199 I have. 1036 00:50:35.719 --> 00:50:37.800 It's the substance. It's a new horror film. It's been 1037 00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.719 out a few weeks, getting a lot of award season buzz, 1038 00:50:40.800 --> 00:50:44.960 surprisingly for a horror film. I watch everything. I love 1039 00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:47.559 horror movies. I can sit through anything on the screen. 1040 00:50:47.679 --> 00:50:50.320 I was squirming in my seat. There's actually a lot 1041 00:50:50.360 --> 00:50:52.800 of good satirical material in the film, and Demi Moore 1042 00:50:52.880 --> 00:50:56.519 is quite good in it, but holy metral it is 1043 00:50:56.719 --> 00:50:59.639 the third act is just bring an umbrella for all 1044 00:50:59.679 --> 00:51:02.519 the goal in etc. That's on the screen. That's all 1045 00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:02.880 I'll say. 1046 00:51:03.000 --> 00:51:04.960 Well, I hate horror movies and. 1047 00:51:05.000 --> 00:51:05.639 I hate gore. 1048 00:51:05.800 --> 00:51:09.880 And my best friend said this movie is so good, 1049 00:51:10.079 --> 00:51:12.239 but you can't separate it from the gore. Because I 1050 00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:14.400 was like, look, just get it on, you know, get 1051 00:51:14.440 --> 00:51:16.119 a copy and then cut out all the gore for me. 1052 00:51:16.199 --> 00:51:17.199 She goes, it wouldn't make sense. 1053 00:51:17.639 --> 00:51:21.159 But she loved the movie, absolutely loved it. At the 1054 00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:24.760 same time, she expressed horror about her own love for 1055 00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:27.880 the movie because it is so gory. So I mean, 1056 00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:29.519 did it have to be that gory or is that 1057 00:51:29.760 --> 00:51:30.519 just what they did? 1058 00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:34.840 Well, there's a lot of what they call body horror 1059 00:51:34.920 --> 00:51:37.039 in the film, which I think is essential to the story. 1060 00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:39.400 But I think they go over the top and then 1061 00:51:39.480 --> 00:51:42.440 some in the last ten twenty minutes, and I agree, 1062 00:51:42.519 --> 00:51:45.480 I think it was unnecessary because it is a satirical 1063 00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:49.159 look at aging about Hollywood, about sexism, those are all 1064 00:51:49.400 --> 00:51:52.199 meaty topics that should be explored, and sometimes horror does 1065 00:51:52.239 --> 00:51:54.440 it so well. So there's a lot to admire the 1066 00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:58.440 style that the presentation is unparalleled, and so for that 1067 00:51:58.519 --> 00:52:01.119 reason alone, it's fascinating to w But I just think 1068 00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:05.199 they were so in love with the FX that it 1069 00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:08.239 really does hurt the film. So it's worth watching. But again, 1070 00:52:08.679 --> 00:52:12.079 if you're squeamish about horror, I mean, I don't see 1071 00:52:12.079 --> 00:52:13.119 how you watch this. I really don't. 1072 00:52:13.239 --> 00:52:15.840 I loved Demi Moore and one of my good friends 1073 00:52:15.840 --> 00:52:18.559 said this is the best movie she's done since she 1074 00:52:18.719 --> 00:52:21.559 was very, very young, and she loved it except the gore, 1075 00:52:21.679 --> 00:52:22.039 and I'm. 1076 00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:22.800 Like, I'm out. 1077 00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:24.960 I don't even like to watch the autopsy scenes on 1078 00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:28.719 ncis okay, And they're not even gory, Christian, They're just 1079 00:52:28.800 --> 00:52:31.280 what they are.

I what a touch. 1085 00:52:46.280 --> 00:52:48.079 Just for a second on the story that we mentioned 1086 00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:54.440 about CBS News before, because this story is really like 1087 00:52:54.639 --> 00:52:59.079 next level when it comes to the kind of bias 1088 00:53:00.239 --> 00:53:02.920 we have in our news media, because before you know, 1089 00:53:03.000 --> 00:53:07.360 Bertie Goldberg wrote the book Bias I think in two 1090 00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:11.000 thousand and four maybe two thousand and three, two thousand 1091 00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:16.440 and four, about his experiences with bias in CBS news. 1092 00:53:17.119 --> 00:53:21.039 But this, this is absolutely next level. 1093 00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:22.920 So I mentioned. 1094 00:53:23.079 --> 00:53:27.519 What happened was CBS morning host Tony deaoople interviewed Tonney 1095 00:53:27.559 --> 00:53:29.480 he c Coates, who I believe is a racist and 1096 00:53:29.519 --> 00:53:32.679 an anti anti semit but he shot to fame during 1097 00:53:32.719 --> 00:53:35.840 the Black Lives Matter movement. He interviewed him and asked 1098 00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:39.719 him questions. Now, listen to this, listen to these questions 1099 00:53:41.320 --> 00:53:45.400 when when this guy's on, he wrote a book that 1100 00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:49.159 is all anti Israel. So Tony de coopele asked him. 1101 00:53:49.199 --> 00:53:52.199 He said, why leave out that Israel is surrounded by 1102 00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:53.840 countries that want to eliminate it? 1103 00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:56.119 That's question number one? Question number two? 1104 00:53:56.480 --> 00:53:59.000 Why leave out that Israel deals with terror groups that 1105 00:53:59.079 --> 00:53:59.920 want to eliminate it? 1106 00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:01.559 Question number three? 1107 00:54:01.920 --> 00:54:05.079 Why not detail anything of the First and Second Intifada? 1108 00:54:05.360 --> 00:54:08.360 The cafe bombings, the bus bombings, the little kids blown 1109 00:54:08.440 --> 00:54:10.440 to bits, and because of that. 1110 00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:14.880 On the following Monday morning, the network's top. 1111 00:54:14.800 --> 00:54:19.519 Brass apologized for the interview to staff, saying it did 1112 00:54:19.599 --> 00:54:24.719 not meet the company's editorial standards. The head of CBS News, 1113 00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:27.440 Adrian Rourke, who's in charge of news gathering at the network, 1114 00:54:27.480 --> 00:54:31.480 began her remarks by saying covering a story like October 1115 00:54:31.599 --> 00:54:38.079 seventh requires empathy, respect, and a commitment to truth and 1116 00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:41.920 essentially said, we're super sorry about that interview because we 1117 00:54:42.159 --> 00:54:44.400 question this man that shares our viewpoints. 1118 00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:44.760 Now. 1119 00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:48.239 Apparently, in the meeting, it also devolved into a conversation 1120 00:54:48.320 --> 00:54:52.639 about whether or not questioning Israel's right to exist was 1121 00:54:52.719 --> 00:54:57.559 allowed and if that's not the most you know, profoundly 1122 00:54:58.000 --> 00:55:00.360 disturbing thing I've heard in sometime, I don't know what is. 1123 00:55:00.480 --> 00:55:02.480 You can read all of this on the blog and 1124 00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:04.559 they even have snippets of the meeting that you can 1125 00:55:04.639 --> 00:55:07.719 listen to. Totally worth your time, do it. Got a 1126 00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:10.800 lot of stuff on the plate today. I got a 1127 00:55:10.840 --> 00:55:12.440 couple of things. First of all, I have some videos 1128 00:55:12.480 --> 00:55:14.119 on the blog that you really got to see. One 1129 00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:17.639 of them is the Weather Channel has done this graphic 1130 00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:24.119 of the various stages of storm surge. Holy crap, it 1131 00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:29.360 is insane and accurate because storm surge is the big 1132 00:55:29.480 --> 00:55:32.199 killer now, and that is what everybody's worried about. So 1133 00:55:33.679 --> 00:55:35.599 there you go. I will say this. 1134 00:55:38.079 --> 00:55:38.440 It is. 1135 00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:46.320 It's I don't know how nah, I'm not going down 1136 00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:46.599 that right. 1137 00:55:46.599 --> 00:55:48.280 And we already talked about the hurricane at the beginning 1138 00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:50.000 of the show, and I want to talk about some 1139 00:55:50.079 --> 00:55:51.760 other stuff that I have on the show as well. 1140 00:55:52.760 --> 00:55:54.440 One of the things that I want to talk. 1141 00:55:54.360 --> 00:56:00.280 About today is another conspiracy theory has been proven true. 1142 00:56:01.480 --> 00:56:05.360 The conspiracy theory this time is about fluoride in our water. Now, 1143 00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:08.760 if you haven't heard about this, I had friends talk 1144 00:56:08.800 --> 00:56:11.599 to me about floride in my water for forever, so 1145 00:56:11.800 --> 00:56:15.159 much so that when I moved into my neighborhood, I 1146 00:56:15.320 --> 00:56:18.440 called my water provider to find out if they fluorinated 1147 00:56:18.480 --> 00:56:18.760 the water. 1148 00:56:19.639 --> 00:56:23.320 Okay, so they do not in my water provider, But 1149 00:56:23.519 --> 00:56:24.079 now we know. 1150 00:56:25.159 --> 00:56:30.119 The National Institute of Health has done a study, and 1151 00:56:30.239 --> 00:56:33.280 the National Institute of Health has now released the following 1152 00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:39.320 The NTP monograph concluded that higher levels of fluoride exposure, 1153 00:56:39.440 --> 00:56:42.599 such as drinking water containing more than one point five 1154 00:56:42.679 --> 00:56:46.840 milligrams of fluoride per leader, are associated with lower IQ 1155 00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:52.280 in children. The NTP review was designed to evaluate total 1156 00:56:52.360 --> 00:56:55.639 fluoride exposure from all sources, and was not designed to 1157 00:56:55.719 --> 00:56:59.320 evaluate the health effects of floridaated drinking water alone. It 1158 00:56:59.440 --> 00:57:02.639 is important to note, however, that there were insufficient data 1159 00:57:03.079 --> 00:57:06.440 to determine if the low fluoride level of point seven 1160 00:57:06.599 --> 00:57:10.840 milligrams per leader currently recommended for US community water supplies 1161 00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:18.480 has a negative effect on children's IQs. Guys, we have 1162 00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:22.239 to stop putting crap in our water. I like it that, 1163 00:57:22.320 --> 00:57:24.480 I said, guys in both a Rod and Zach, who's 1164 00:57:24.519 --> 00:57:26.440 now training, both looked up at the same time. 1165 00:57:26.519 --> 00:57:27.360 That was good, you guys. 1166 00:57:27.840 --> 00:57:31.960 You were synchronized when I said, guys, there you go. Now, 1167 00:57:32.719 --> 00:57:36.599 what's sort of fascinating about Florida in the water is 1168 00:57:36.599 --> 00:57:38.360 the reason we have Florida in the water is it 1169 00:57:38.599 --> 00:57:42.320 was a waste product from manufacturing that they needed to 1170 00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:43.039 know what to do with. 1171 00:57:44.280 --> 00:57:46.639 And we know it is good for our teeth. 1172 00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:50.639 But I think I'd rather have janky teeth and a 1173 00:57:50.719 --> 00:57:56.000 bigger brain than a smaller brain and nice teeth. So 1174 00:57:57.239 --> 00:58:01.159 this is especially for little little kid kids. Please don't 1175 00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:04.880 use little little kids. Don't give them real fluoride toothpaste. Kids. 1176 00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:09.559 Toothpaste does not have fluoride in it because kids swallow toothpaste. 1177 00:58:10.320 --> 00:58:12.480 It takes like a year to get your kid to 1178 00:58:12.559 --> 00:58:15.679 stop swallowing the toothpaste when you brush their teeth. 1179 00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:18.239 So just be aware. 1180 00:58:18.320 --> 00:58:19.840 But this is I mean to me, this is like, 1181 00:58:19.960 --> 00:58:23.119 oh okay, another thing that government told us was fine. 1182 00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:28.599 Now not fine, just not fine at all. 1183 00:58:29.320 --> 00:58:29.440 Now. 1184 00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:32.480 Am I gonna do away with my fluorinated toothpaste? No, 1185 00:58:32.599 --> 00:58:35.159 I'm not, because I spit it all out that I 1186 00:58:35.280 --> 00:58:38.400 rinse my mouth. I'm not eating it. And I think 1187 00:58:38.440 --> 00:58:40.679 my brain is big enough already. I don't want to, like, 1188 00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:42.480 you know, get ahead of myself, but I think my 1189 00:58:42.599 --> 00:58:46.679 brain is just fine. Thank you so much, thank you 1190 00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:51.639 so so much. So I wanna ask you. I don't 1191 00:58:51.639 --> 00:58:54.400 normally tell you to follow me on social media.

I want to ask him why his 1210 00:59:39.480 --> 00:59:41.679 brother's saying, because no one seems to know why his 1211 00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:46.400 brother decided to stay in Sarasota. Sarasta looks like right now, 1212 00:59:46.599 --> 00:59:49.519 unless the hurricane wobbles, it is going to take a 1213 00:59:49.559 --> 00:59:52.639 direct hit, probably a Cat four storm, maybe Cat three, 1214 00:59:53.159 --> 00:59:58.039 but Category three is a devastating hurricane. Anything about Category 1215 00:59:58.119 --> 00:59:59.360 two you need to get the hell out of the 1216 00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:04.519 way because Category three and above is it's gonna it's 1217 01:00:04.719 --> 01:00:06.199 You're basically gonna fafo. 1218 01:00:06.440 --> 01:00:07.159 You know what I'm saying. 1219 01:00:08.360 --> 01:00:11.320 You're not gonna just that's what's gonna happen.

If you just mess around, you're gonna find out. 1221 01:00:15.599 --> 01:00:17.519 And I just want to know because they're like, hey, 1222 01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:20.119 Marty's brother is going to be able to talk to No, 1223 01:00:20.480 --> 01:00:23.440 if they knock all the cell towers down, that's not 1224 01:00:23.519 --> 01:00:25.920 going to be a thing. So we're gonna find out 1225 01:00:25.960 --> 01:00:27.920 why his brother is staying in Sarah's Oh cool, Okay, 1226 01:00:28.679 --> 01:00:32.199 Marty Lens, half of Colorado's morning news team, Marty, I 1227 01:00:32.320 --> 01:00:33.880 just heard your brother is staying in Sarasota. 1228 01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:34.599 What the deuce? 1229 01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:38.559 Yeah, well, I don't know. So basically he said if 1230 01:00:38.599 --> 01:00:40.559 he had his young kids still there, they probably wouldn't. 1231 01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:44.840 But it's kind of a damned if you do, damned 1232 01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:45.360 if you don't. 1233 01:00:45.800 --> 01:00:48.719 Wait wait, but where Okay, where is he in Sarasota? 1234 01:00:48.760 --> 01:00:52.400 How far is he from the coastline? What did he say? 1235 01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:54.880 Is about ten miles in? I think is what he said. 1236 01:00:55.119 --> 01:00:55.960 I think that was right. 1237 01:00:56.480 --> 01:00:57.400 God, I should know better. 1238 01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:00.679 So he is he staying there by himself? 1239 01:01:01.760 --> 01:01:02.119 Is no? 1240 01:01:02.320 --> 01:01:05.079 His wife is his wife and they're both there so 1241 01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:08.559 and they're less concerned about the storm surge and like 1242 01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:10.840 I said, you know Florida. But what the word about 1243 01:01:10.880 --> 01:01:12.599 is some of the wind in some of those things. 1244 01:01:12.639 --> 01:01:14.840 So it's like it's a picture poison. Like, well, if 1245 01:01:14.880 --> 01:01:16.599 they leave, do they know if they can get back 1246 01:01:16.679 --> 01:01:19.880 in See, they don't already one of those things here party. 1247 01:01:19.920 --> 01:01:21.800 I'm just going to say this as a native Floridian, 1248 01:01:21.880 --> 01:01:25.400 I've been through so many hurricanes. Anything over a category two, 1249 01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:27.519 I'm getting the hell out of Dodge because I have 1250 01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:30.480 friends that have gone through They went through Andrew in 1251 01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:33.639 South Florida, their children. Their children were in therapy for 1252 01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:35.360 like eight years. Let me tell you what your brother 1253 01:01:35.480 --> 01:01:38.920 might be in for. They spent eight hours of Hurricane 1254 01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:42.800 Andrew inside a coat closet underneath their stairs while all 1255 01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:45.719 of the roofing tiles, all of the concrete roofing tiles 1256 01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:48.159 from their neighbors hit the side of their house so 1257 01:01:48.280 --> 01:01:50.519 hard and so fast it sounded like machine gun fire. 1258 01:01:50.840 --> 01:01:52.920 And when they finally came out of their closet, one 1259 01:01:53.039 --> 01:01:56.679 whole wall of their house was gone. So this is 1260 01:01:56.760 --> 01:01:58.280 I'm not trying to scare the crap out of him, 1261 01:01:58.280 --> 01:01:59.719 but I'm trying to scare the crap out of him 1262 01:01:59.719 --> 01:02:03.440 because I just worry about people choosing to stay, especially 1263 01:02:03.480 --> 01:02:04.960 for the reason that you just gave. They're not sure 1264 01:02:05.000 --> 01:02:06.800 if they're going to be able to get back. Well, 1265 01:02:07.360 --> 01:02:09.320 if their house is there, they'll have something to come 1266 01:02:09.360 --> 01:02:11.079 back to. But if their house isn't, they're going to 1267 01:02:11.079 --> 01:02:11.599 be inside it. 1268 01:02:11.840 --> 01:02:12.280 And that's what. 1269 01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:16.000 Concerns and that's the thing. And when I asked him 1270 01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:18.400 about their reason, I think he just felt like they 1271 01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:20.920 I think their concern was if they leave, as if 1272 01:02:20.920 --> 01:02:22.880 they'd be able to get back to your point, you know, 1273 01:02:23.039 --> 01:02:24.000 is there something to get back to? 1274 01:02:24.119 --> 01:02:24.880 But I don't know. 1275 01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:27.239 I mean, he's got a generator doing all the things 1276 01:02:27.320 --> 01:02:28.800 I told him. I hope I can talk to him 1277 01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:30.320 tomorrow morning, and. 1278 01:02:30.360 --> 01:02:30.960 He has shutters. 1279 01:02:31.079 --> 01:02:31.159 Right. 1280 01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:34.360 Yes, Well, I've got to tell you after Hurricane Charlie, 1281 01:02:34.360 --> 01:02:36.760 which was only a Category three, there were no cell 1282 01:02:36.840 --> 01:02:37.480 towers left. 1283 01:02:37.639 --> 01:02:39.039 All the cell towers were gone, right. 1284 01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:42.559 So there's all of these different things that you know, Sarah, 1285 01:02:42.599 --> 01:02:44.559 Soda buries their power lines, but they don't bury the 1286 01:02:44.639 --> 01:02:47.880 major transition line, the transmission line. So they come to 1287 01:02:47.960 --> 01:02:49.920 Sarasota and then they get buried. But if those get 1288 01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:52.719 knocked down, I just I'm worried, and I'm worried anyway, 1289 01:02:52.840 --> 01:02:54.679 So now I have to worry about your brother. Let 1290 01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:56.760 him know that Mandy Connell is now going to have 1291 01:02:56.800 --> 01:02:59.440 to worry about him. I do hope he's okay. I 1292 01:02:59.559 --> 01:03:01.079 hope this is the right to work through it too. 1293 01:03:01.480 --> 01:03:03.400 Hey, let let me ask you this, because I should 1294 01:03:03.400 --> 01:03:04.559 have asked him this on the air, And I've been 1295 01:03:04.599 --> 01:03:07.239 texting that. I'm one of six siblings, so we're all 1296 01:03:07.400 --> 01:03:10.639 beating them up with information. He said, they go dark 1297 01:03:10.719 --> 01:03:13.840 after eleven, Mandy, do they de energize the power lines 1298 01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:16.440 and situations like this, Yeah, because of they don't. 1299 01:03:16.639 --> 01:03:19.159 No, it's not like California. It's not like California where 1300 01:03:19.159 --> 01:03:22.119 you're gonna start fires because of it. They kind of 1301 01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:24.679 let the It's almost like the chips are going to 1302 01:03:24.719 --> 01:03:27.679 fall where they may, and they're going to allow the 1303 01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:29.440 power to be on as long as they can, and 1304 01:03:29.519 --> 01:03:31.400 then after the storm they're going to send people into 1305 01:03:31.440 --> 01:03:34.519 clear the live power lines, which is a huge problem. 1306 01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:36.199 But it's not like it's going to set a fire 1307 01:03:36.239 --> 01:03:37.400 in California, you know. 1308 01:03:37.960 --> 01:03:40.400 Yeah, right, it's a little bit different dark. 1309 01:03:40.480 --> 01:03:42.440 I think he just meant they probably, you know, might 1310 01:03:42.519 --> 01:03:44.559 not have power, and that's what he's thinking. So anyways, 1311 01:03:44.639 --> 01:03:46.000 it's like, Oh, I should have asked him it on 1312 01:03:46.039 --> 01:03:47.159 the air, about what he's gonna do. 1313 01:03:47.639 --> 01:03:49.480 Yeah, I'll text it right now. 1314 01:03:49.559 --> 01:03:51.559 I'm going my yard with just something I always do, 1315 01:03:51.840 --> 01:03:53.679 and I will. I will text them and see what 1316 01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:54.480 he says about that. 1317 01:03:54.639 --> 01:03:56.360 So all right, all right, Marty. Now I'm gonna have 1318 01:03:56.400 --> 01:03:58.079 to worry about your brother, but I will say I'll 1319 01:03:58.119 --> 01:03:59.880 send up prayers for his safety as well. 1320 01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:00.960 So we got that covered. 1321 01:04:01.920 --> 01:04:03.280 Thank you appreciating all. 1322 01:04:03.239 --> 01:04:04.719 Right, thanks Marty, We'll be right. 1323 01:04:04.760 --> 01:04:07.280 Oh yeah, well, I gotta say, Marty, moan is lawn 1324 01:04:07.320 --> 01:04:09.800 at one forty? Isn't that like you're gonna hurt your lawn? 1325 01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:10.280 Marty? 1326 01:04:10.639 --> 01:04:10.679 What? 1327 01:04:10.960 --> 01:04:16.519 Oh my gosh, you're now No, no, beautiful. I looked 1328 01:04:16.599 --> 01:04:18.000 up these things. The sun damage. 1329 01:04:18.599 --> 01:04:21.320 Absolutely, the sun is not as it's not intense enough 1330 01:04:21.360 --> 01:04:22.119 in October to Milan. 1331 01:04:22.480 --> 01:04:24.360 I can go home and one at four. 1332 01:04:24.519 --> 01:04:27.400 Yes, which is not nearly intense as it is in 1333 01:04:27.480 --> 01:04:28.679 the middle of summer in July. 1334 01:04:28.880 --> 01:04:29.679 That makes sense. 1335 01:04:29.559 --> 01:04:33.239 Everything, Okay, I don't have to wait until near sunset anymore. 1336 01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:37.400 No, oh really, don't you really? A rod has now 1337 01:04:37.440 --> 01:04:40.760 become lawn obsessed. He's he's like, he's like six months 1338 01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:42.840 away from screaming get out by lawn. 1339 01:04:43.079 --> 01:04:44.559 I've yelled it, I make sure. 1340 01:04:44.920 --> 01:04:45.079 Yeah. 1341 01:04:45.119 --> 01:04:47.000 No, I haven't yelled. I planned to yell if anyone 1342 01:04:47.079 --> 01:04:51.639 comes near or their dog comes near, He's already there. 1343 01:04:51.719 --> 01:04:53.960 My friends, he's already there. Oh jeez, you. 1344 01:04:54.039 --> 01:04:56.559 Got a texture here. I've got lots of family in 1345 01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:59.239 Sarasodi and they're riding this hurricane. Now, that's just I'm sorry, 1346 01:04:59.320 --> 01:05:01.920 it's stupid. You're just if you have the means to leave, 1347 01:05:01.960 --> 01:05:05.119 you're just stupid for staying and you're going miserable after 1348 01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:05.559 the fact. 1349 01:05:05.880 --> 01:05:09.719 Heard if people liking super tall high rises way up there, 1350 01:05:10.199 --> 01:05:10.480 are they? 1351 01:05:10.519 --> 01:05:10.800 Okay? 1352 01:05:11.760 --> 01:05:14.599 It depends on the building. Yeah, you know, it depends 1353 01:05:14.639 --> 01:05:16.519 on how it was built, when it was built, and 1354 01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:19.679 there's always debris. So the super high up buildings a 1355 01:05:19.719 --> 01:05:22.239 lot of times don't have hurricane shutters on the windows. 1356 01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:24.039 So then you've got to worry about some flying in 1357 01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:27.519 your window because all the the stuff flying around. 1358 01:05:27.440 --> 01:05:30.679 Is a huge problem. Also, you're not getting out plumbing, 1359 01:05:31.119 --> 01:05:33.039 you know, well, you're. 1360 01:05:32.679 --> 01:05:37.480 Probably unless you're building has a massive generator that's not 1361 01:05:37.719 --> 01:05:38.800 going to be underwater. 1362 01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:42.000 You're gonna be out of power. 1363 01:05:42.079 --> 01:05:44.760 That's the thing. It's not the storm itself, although Sarasota 1364 01:05:44.840 --> 01:05:45.440 is going to be wrecked. 1365 01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:47.159 Uh, it's the aftermath. 1366 01:05:47.599 --> 01:05:49.559 If this is a Category four storm, when it comes 1367 01:05:49.639 --> 01:05:52.000 on shore, there's a chance power won't be back in 1368 01:05:52.079 --> 01:05:55.679 some areas for weeks, and then you're just sitting and 1369 01:05:55.760 --> 01:05:59.960 it's hot and it's humid, and it's miserable. It's all. 1370 01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:06.119 The aftermath of a hurricane is terrible, just terrible. Never 1371 01:06:06.199 --> 01:06:07.800 want to do it again. This is where I'm never 1372 01:06:07.920 --> 01:06:13.119 moving back to Florida. Never, never, never, never, ever so 1373 01:06:13.519 --> 01:06:15.199 funny a couple of stories that I want to get 1374 01:06:15.199 --> 01:06:18.639 to today before we bring on John Caldera to thirty. 1375 01:06:19.599 --> 01:06:25.159 Denver is the least safe city in Colorado. Wallet Hub 1376 01:06:25.320 --> 01:06:28.639 compared almost two hundred cities to determine where people feel 1377 01:06:29.079 --> 01:06:32.440 the safest in the US. This study based safety on 1378 01:06:32.519 --> 01:06:37.239 where Americans feel most secure, which includes factors like traffic 1379 01:06:37.320 --> 01:06:40.599 deaths and assaults per capital to the unemployment rate, and 1380 01:06:40.679 --> 01:06:44.400 the percentage of the uninsured population. And the study looked 1381 01:06:44.440 --> 01:06:48.239 at some of the state's biggest cities like Aurora, Colorado Springs, 1382 01:06:48.800 --> 01:06:49.239 and Denver. 1383 01:06:51.079 --> 01:06:51.920 This is kind of fun. 1384 01:06:52.199 --> 01:06:54.199 I like the results of this are kind of fun. 1385 01:06:55.920 --> 01:06:58.519 The three Colorado cities sit on the lower half of 1386 01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:01.360 the list. They ranked one hundred eighty two cities. Number 1387 01:07:01.400 --> 01:07:06.599 one South Burlington, Vermont the least safe city, Memphis, Tennessee, 1388 01:07:07.679 --> 01:07:08.800 Colorado Springs. 1389 01:07:10.000 --> 01:07:11.840 Well, it came in at one fifty seven. 1390 01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:17.639 Aurora came in at one point fifteen, meaning Aurora felt 1391 01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:22.599 safer than Colorado Springs, Denver sitting at number one sixty one, 1392 01:07:24.480 --> 01:07:30.079 and uh that is uh, that's kind of sad. While 1393 01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:32.599 the Colorado cities rank on the lower end of the list, 1394 01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:35.639 they still rank higher than some major cities around the country. 1395 01:07:36.119 --> 01:07:39.199 Aurora ranks higher in safety than cities like Salt Salt 1396 01:07:39.280 --> 01:07:42.599 Lake City, Chicago, and New York. While Colorado and Springs 1397 01:07:42.679 --> 01:07:46.199 and Denver are considered safety safer let me try that again, 1398 01:07:46.719 --> 01:07:49.320 safer than cities like Los Angeles and Dallas. 1399 01:07:50.320 --> 01:07:51.239 So there's one for you. 1400 01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:54.840 Oh, this person points out elevators won't work if the 1401 01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:58.800 power goes out. Yep, that's miserable. I rode through the 1402 01:07:59.360 --> 01:08:01.440 tail end of a hurricane. It was only like a 1403 01:08:01.960 --> 01:08:04.079 Category one by the time it hit me in Orlando. 1404 01:08:04.079 --> 01:08:06.599 It was supposed to be in a wedding in Orlando, 1405 01:08:06.880 --> 01:08:08.639 and the storm was coming up through Florida and we 1406 01:08:08.719 --> 01:08:10.760 were like, oh, we're gonna go anyway. So we stayed 1407 01:08:10.800 --> 01:08:12.840 at Ratison. We were on the fifth floor and the 1408 01:08:12.960 --> 01:08:17.520 water was coming in the windows sideways, so imagine having 1409 01:08:17.560 --> 01:08:21.119 a window in a hotel and water is pouring in 1410 01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:24.239 around it from I mean every all the way around it. 1411 01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:28.800 Water is literally pouring in in the Radison Hotel. And 1412 01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:31.039 then the next day everything smelled like mildew. It was 1413 01:08:31.159 --> 01:08:32.680 so much fun, so good. 1414 01:08:33.239 --> 01:08:35.199 I loved it. Not at all, it was terrible. I'm 1415 01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:39.199 never moving back there. So you got that. And I 1416 01:08:39.319 --> 01:08:40.880 want to talk about this story. 1417 01:08:40.920 --> 01:08:43.840 I don't normally talk about stories like this because it's 1418 01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:46.840 a sad story, but it's not a talk topic necessarily. 1419 01:08:47.399 --> 01:08:50.199 A man was killed at eight twenty five pm on 1420 01:08:50.279 --> 01:08:54.399 a Tuesday. There was a crash on Chambers Road, north 1421 01:08:55.039 --> 01:08:56.960 of East Colfax Avenue. 1422 01:08:57.039 --> 01:08:58.600 And that's important. 1423 01:08:58.159 --> 01:09:02.359 Because Denver especially is trying to pass all these rules 1424 01:09:02.399 --> 01:09:06.920 and regulations to make driving a car absolutely miserable, and 1425 01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:11.399 they're doing it in the name of saving people, pedestrians specifically, 1426 01:09:11.800 --> 01:09:15.560 who keep getting hit by cars. But this story is 1427 01:09:15.640 --> 01:09:19.520 a perfect example of why all of their anti car 1428 01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:23.119 nonsense is not going to move the needle, because in 1429 01:09:23.239 --> 01:09:27.720 this case, the driver was not doing anything wrong. The 1430 01:09:27.840 --> 01:09:30.680 driver was not drunk, the driver was not speeding, the 1431 01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:33.560 driver was not intoxicated in any way, shape or form, 1432 01:09:34.000 --> 01:09:36.720 and The guy who is now dead walked out in 1433 01:09:36.800 --> 01:09:40.159 the middle of the road, not at an intersection. He 1434 01:09:40.319 --> 01:09:42.640 wasn't at a crosswalk. He wandered into the road and 1435 01:09:42.680 --> 01:09:45.279 he got hit by a car. And that is what 1436 01:09:45.479 --> 01:09:47.800 I think.

I don't want you 1466 01:11:16.880 --> 01:11:22.960 to burn my house down. This story is super, super interesting. 1467 01:11:23.039 --> 01:11:26.640 From politico dot com. We all know that Portland, Oregon 1468 01:11:26.840 --> 01:11:31.159 is a bastion of liberalism, creating a liberal utopia that 1469 01:11:31.279 --> 01:11:35.079 has turned into a hellhole. How do I know, Well, 1470 01:11:35.279 --> 01:11:39.439 they're in the process of bouncing out their entire government. 1471 01:11:39.680 --> 01:11:43.199 Not only are they bouncing them out, they're restructuring government. 1472 01:11:43.960 --> 01:11:47.840 Portland voters decided to throw out their entire government structure 1473 01:11:48.199 --> 01:11:51.920 and replace it with a weaker mayor, expanded city council, 1474 01:11:52.399 --> 01:11:56.239 and ranked choice voting. A major driver in this was 1475 01:11:56.399 --> 01:12:00.760 Measure one ten, which decriminalized all drugs, which is resulted 1476 01:12:00.800 --> 01:12:03.640 in an absolute human disaster in Portland. 1477 01:12:04.039 --> 01:12:06.680 Now, there are a lot of people running for office. 1478 01:12:06.760 --> 01:12:11.239 There are nineteen people running for mayor, ninety eight people 1479 01:12:11.439 --> 01:12:14.640 seeking seats on the City Council, and though they're all 1480 01:12:14.960 --> 01:12:17.960 campaigning on left of center platforms, almost all of them 1481 01:12:18.079 --> 01:12:22.359 it is Portland progressives are saying, wait, we need to 1482 01:12:22.520 --> 01:12:26.119 fix the problems, including the problems of homelessness and drug addiction. 1483 01:12:26.640 --> 01:12:29.119 And there's some tough talk coming out of Portland. It 1484 01:12:29.239 --> 01:12:32.000 seems that you can beat the progressive out of someone, 1485 01:12:32.439 --> 01:12:34.720 and Portland has figured out how. 1486 01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:35.159 To do it. 1487 01:12:35.479 --> 01:12:38.960 So the people running to join the City Council are 1488 01:12:39.439 --> 01:12:42.159 trying to fix it. One of them is striving for 1489 01:12:42.239 --> 01:12:44.760 a law and order vote, another is selling a vision 1490 01:12:44.840 --> 01:12:49.079 of pragmatic progressivism, and one focuses on mental health service 1491 01:12:49.119 --> 01:12:53.359 as an economic revitalization. A dark horse candidate is Keith Wilson, 1492 01:12:53.439 --> 01:12:57.000 a self made CEO who started a nonprofit aimed at 1493 01:12:57.159 --> 01:13:01.159 ending homelessness in Portland. The entire city Council looks to 1494 01:13:01.239 --> 01:13:04.239 be going We'll have to wait and see what happens 1495 01:13:04.319 --> 01:13:07.520 in Portland, because right now it is a hellhole and 1496 01:13:07.600 --> 01:13:08.640 they've got to do something. 1497 01:13:10.079 --> 01:13:10.680 Drill it too. 1498 01:13:11.239 --> 01:13:12.600 This is an interesting story. 1499 01:13:12.760 --> 01:13:15.279 I don't know if you heard this, but the Justice 1500 01:13:15.319 --> 01:13:19.239 Department has now announced charges against a citizen of Afghanistan 1501 01:13:19.640 --> 01:13:23.920 who lives in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Why is he being charged, Well, 1502 01:13:24.319 --> 01:13:27.880 he was conspiring to conduct an election day terrorist attack 1503 01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:32.239 in the United States on behalf of ISIS. Now, what's 1504 01:13:32.279 --> 01:13:36.239 super fun about this is Naser Ahmad TAWEEDI, twenty seven 1505 01:13:36.800 --> 01:13:39.159 came over to the United States as part of a 1506 01:13:39.359 --> 01:13:44.199 giant airlift of people who were completely unvetted, meaning we 1507 01:13:44.279 --> 01:13:46.119 didn't know who they were, but we let them into 1508 01:13:46.159 --> 01:13:50.840 the country anyway. The defendant says, the FBI director, motivated 1509 01:13:50.920 --> 01:13:54.359 by ISIS, allegedly conspired to commit a violent act on 1510 01:13:54.560 --> 01:13:59.039 election Day here in our homeland. Now, of course he 1511 01:13:59.199 --> 01:14:01.760 ended up talking to FBI agent instead of an assassin 1512 01:14:01.880 --> 01:14:04.199 or a gun deal or whatever, and they've caught the guy. 1513 01:14:04.279 --> 01:14:06.960 But it does make me wonder who else is planning 1514 01:14:07.079 --> 01:14:09.920 such an attack and who else was brought into the 1515 01:14:09.960 --> 01:14:14.680 country by the Biden Harris administration. Drill it too, So 1516 01:14:14.800 --> 01:14:16.760 this is kind of a cool story. I somehow got 1517 01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:19.560 signed up for an email list of history facts and 1518 01:14:19.640 --> 01:14:24.359 today's history facts. Was how cornflakes were invented. Now, if 1519 01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:27.840 you never saw The Road to Wellness, I think the 1520 01:14:27.920 --> 01:14:30.720 movie about the Kellogg brothers, but they were kind of 1521 01:14:30.880 --> 01:14:34.800 wack a doodles, but early adopters of the importance of nutrition. 1522 01:14:35.279 --> 01:14:39.319 Around eighteen ninety four, Kellogg and associates made a cereal, 1523 01:14:39.760 --> 01:14:43.600 one of the first. It was called Granos. Granos, Yeah, 1524 01:14:43.720 --> 01:14:46.039 they had to change the name. Oh no, they didn't 1525 01:14:46.039 --> 01:14:48.640 have to change the name of granose. Now, the health 1526 01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:52.119 minded doctor Kellogg refused to put any sugar in the cereal, 1527 01:14:52.399 --> 01:14:55.920 and it was only after former patients CW. Post hit 1528 01:14:56.000 --> 01:14:58.520 it big in eighteen ninety seven with the launch of 1529 01:14:58.600 --> 01:15:01.760 grape Nuts, a flame spinoff of the granola he saw 1530 01:15:01.840 --> 01:15:06.800 produced in the kitchen. That Will Kellogg devised a sweeter 1531 01:15:07.319 --> 01:15:12.760 corn based version of Granos that became Cornflakes, a ubiquitous 1532 01:15:12.840 --> 01:15:18.720 part of the American well breakfast table. Now, one more story, 1533 01:15:18.800 --> 01:15:19.439 I should hit that. 1534 01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:19.720 Sorry. 1535 01:15:21.600 --> 01:15:23.800 I meant to talk about this earlier, and I'm going 1536 01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:26.239 to talk about it quickly now. But it is so important, 1537 01:15:26.680 --> 01:15:31.319 Jack Phillips, that Masterpiece Cakes has finally well for now, 1538 01:15:31.720 --> 01:15:34.520 because I don't trust these activists to not come after 1539 01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:37.560 him again. He was being sued by a trans woman 1540 01:15:37.720 --> 01:15:40.800 activist named Amber Scardina because he refused to make a 1541 01:15:40.880 --> 01:15:44.760 cake celebrating her gender transition. And now the High Court 1542 01:15:44.960 --> 01:15:48.239 of Colorado has thrown the case out, meaning that for 1543 01:15:48.359 --> 01:15:51.680 now Jack Phillips will be able to express himself as 1544 01:15:51.720 --> 01:15:54.760 a baker and as a Christian without being hassled. This 1545 01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:57.600 is after, of course, a Supreme Court ruling in a 1546 01:15:57.680 --> 01:15:59.800 case where a gay couple tried to get him to 1547 01:15:59.840 --> 01:16:03.720 make a cake to celebrate their gay marriage in defiance 1548 01:16:03.800 --> 01:16:06.920 of his own religious beliefs. The Court Supreme Court sided 1549 01:16:06.960 --> 01:16:09.880 with him, and now the Colorado Supreme Court has dismissed 1550 01:16:09.920 --> 01:16:12.520 this case. But not because they think Jack Phillips was 1551 01:16:12.640 --> 01:16:14.880 right or he has the freedom to do it. They 1552 01:16:15.039 --> 01:16:18.880 dismissed the case on the grounds that attorney and transactivists 1553 01:16:18.920 --> 01:16:22.720 Amber Scardina did not follow proper procedure in filing the 1554 01:16:22.840 --> 01:16:25.840 case in the first place, and that, my friends, is 1555 01:16:25.920 --> 01:16:27.520 your two minutes drill right there. 1556 01:16:28.920 --> 01:16:29.039 Now. 1557 01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:30.279 I want to talk about this, and I'm going to 1558 01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:31.279 talk about it on the other side of the. 1559 01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:32.279 Break, but I want to start it here. 1560 01:16:32.399 --> 01:16:35.920 Last night, there was a debate between Gabe Evans and Yadira, 1561 01:16:36.119 --> 01:16:40.359 representative Yudiro Caraveo in the eighth Congressional district. Gabe us 1562 01:16:40.399 --> 01:16:44.479 trying to unseat Representative Caraveo, and last night they had 1563 01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:46.520 a debate, and last night I watched it. This morning, 1564 01:16:46.520 --> 01:16:48.720 I didn't watch it last night. It was hosted by 1565 01:16:48.840 --> 01:16:51.920 Kyle Clark and Marshall Zelliger. But I'm not mad at 1566 01:16:51.960 --> 01:16:54.119 Kyle Clark and my Marshall Zeliger because they did what 1567 01:16:54.199 --> 01:16:57.800 they do right. They did what they did. I thought 1568 01:16:57.840 --> 01:17:00.960 Kyle was tough on and asked difficult questions of both candidates. 1569 01:17:01.840 --> 01:17:05.680 But both candidates did the thing that we, the American people, 1570 01:17:05.840 --> 01:17:08.600 have to stop allowing to happen, and that is they're 1571 01:17:08.680 --> 01:17:11.199 asked one question and they start giving a lot of 1572 01:17:11.239 --> 01:17:13.640 blobbedy the love of talking points, and they simply don't 1573 01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:16.600 answer the question that is asked. And here's the thing, 1574 01:17:16.680 --> 01:17:19.520 you guys. I like Gave Evans. I think he would 1575 01:17:19.560 --> 01:17:22.359 be great in the eighth Congressional district. But last night 1576 01:17:22.439 --> 01:17:25.840 he came across like a used car salesman. He didn't 1577 01:17:25.880 --> 01:17:31.960 answer the questions, just answer the damn questions. And political 1578 01:17:32.079 --> 01:17:35.680 consultants are to blame here. Well, you don't want to 1579 01:17:35.680 --> 01:17:37.640 give him some kind of fodder, some kind of candid 1580 01:17:37.680 --> 01:17:41.279 fodder for a negative ad. If you cannot clearly explain 1581 01:17:41.479 --> 01:17:45.079 your positions, if you cannot clearly answer a question. And 1582 01:17:45.199 --> 01:17:48.840 by the way, Representative Caraveo did know better. She did 1583 01:17:48.960 --> 01:17:52.079 know better. It's not like just just gave Evans didn't 1584 01:17:52.079 --> 01:17:54.319 answer the question. She didn't answer me either. I can't 1585 01:17:54.359 --> 01:17:56.079 tell you how many times one of the moderators had 1586 01:17:56.079 --> 01:17:58.880 to say, we didn't answer the question. Kyle Clark got 1587 01:17:58.960 --> 01:18:01.279 in a whole bunch of Trump is racist, Trump is bad. 1588 01:18:01.319 --> 01:18:02.119 You knew that was coming. 1589 01:18:03.279 --> 01:18:05.920 But I'm so sick of candidates just not answering the 1590 01:18:06.039 --> 01:18:06.960 damn questions. 1591 01:18:07.560 --> 01:18:10.439 Just answer the questions. We'll talk more about this. 1592 01:18:10.560 --> 01:18:12.600 On the other side, I've got a couple of questions 1593 01:18:13.840 --> 01:18:17.520 from people about the Trump event on Friday and the 1594 01:18:17.640 --> 01:18:20.159 Trump event I put a link on the blog today. 1595 01:18:20.600 --> 01:18:23.479 It seems that tickets are still available. I did not 1596 01:18:23.600 --> 01:18:25.560 put my name in in for Oh nope, it's sold out, 1597 01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:28.680 sold out as of now. So it was there was 1598 01:18:28.720 --> 01:18:32.520 tickets available this morning and now they're not. So if 1599 01:18:32.560 --> 01:18:34.880 you do not already have tickets to the event, you 1600 01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:37.600 are not going to get them. It is going to 1601 01:18:37.640 --> 01:18:40.079 be at the Gaylord Rockies, and I know that a 1602 01:18:40.159 --> 01:18:43.399 lot of people are super excited about this. I do 1603 01:18:43.640 --> 01:18:46.439 not think this helps Colorado Republicans at all. 1604 01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:49.399 I just don't. 1605 01:18:51.119 --> 01:18:57.159 Trump is extremely disliked by a lot of Colorado voters, 1606 01:18:57.359 --> 01:19:02.199 and I would love to think that people would be 1607 01:19:02.319 --> 01:19:08.319 able to do the split ticket. But no, no, And 1608 01:19:08.399 --> 01:19:11.119 I'm wondering if any you know, If I'm Gabe Evans, 1609 01:19:11.119 --> 01:19:14.319 I don't go see Trump. I don't get my picture 1610 01:19:14.359 --> 01:19:16.359 taken next to Donald Trump. I just don't do it. 1611 01:19:18.840 --> 01:19:23.680 If I am Jeff Hurd in the fourth Congression No, 1612 01:19:23.800 --> 01:19:26.279 third Congressional district, I'm not going to get my picture 1613 01:19:26.359 --> 01:19:29.000 taken with Donald Trump. And don't get me wrong, they're 1614 01:19:29.000 --> 01:19:31.359 Trump supporters in both of those districts. But you're not 1615 01:19:31.479 --> 01:19:33.600 trying to win the Trump supporters as a Republican. You're 1616 01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:36.920 trying to win the Independence And I don't know if 1617 01:19:37.000 --> 01:19:42.000 anything is happening with Independence and their love or dislike 1618 01:19:42.079 --> 01:19:45.359 of Trump in Colorado that would make it significant enough, 1619 01:19:47.039 --> 01:19:49.760 you know, I just don't know. So to the person 1620 01:19:49.760 --> 01:19:51.960 who said, Mandy, do you have any info regarding parking 1621 01:19:52.000 --> 01:19:55.239 and access to the Trump rally on Friday? Can't find 1622 01:19:55.359 --> 01:19:59.079 online anywhere go figure. That's because it was only available 1623 01:19:59.119 --> 01:19:59.880 at Donald Trump. 1624 01:19:59.720 --> 01:20:01.600 Dot com and now they are sold out. 1625 01:20:01.880 --> 01:20:02.479 So there you go. 1626 01:20:02.800 --> 01:20:03.920 So we got that going for us. 1627 01:20:04.720 --> 01:20:07.199 We will have someone out there covering it. I believe 1628 01:20:07.399 --> 01:20:10.039 Jimmy seging Burger is going to be up there covering 1629 01:20:10.079 --> 01:20:12.199 it for us. I think so. I think he's going 1630 01:20:12.239 --> 01:20:14.000 to be part of the media coverage. I may be 1631 01:20:14.159 --> 01:20:17.720 speaking too soon, but I don't think I am so. 1632 01:20:17.920 --> 01:20:21.479 Obviously we're going to have a lot of coverage of 1633 01:20:21.560 --> 01:20:21.880 that wall. 1634 01:20:21.880 --> 01:20:22.239 He's here. 1635 01:20:22.279 --> 01:20:23.920 It's still a big deal. He's still, you know, a 1636 01:20:24.000 --> 01:20:27.960 former president running for president. It's a big deal. I 1637 01:20:28.720 --> 01:20:31.119 don't really, Ayron, have you reached out to the Trump 1638 01:20:31.119 --> 01:20:32.720 campaign to see if we can get him for an interview? 1639 01:20:33.000 --> 01:20:36.479 Does that happened yet? Yeah? You know, I wouldn't. I 1640 01:20:36.479 --> 01:20:39.840 wouldn't count on it. Not holding your breath there, not quite. 1641 01:20:40.279 --> 01:20:40.479 Yeah. 1642 01:20:40.720 --> 01:20:42.439 No, you want to just show up at the Gaylor 1643 01:20:42.520 --> 01:20:43.800 or the Rockies on Friday? No, I'm good. 1644 01:20:43.880 --> 01:20:44.760 I got to do my show. 1645 01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:46.560 It's at one o'clock. It's right during the show. Oh, 1646 01:20:46.600 --> 01:20:47.920 it sounds like a live sh right there. 1647 01:20:48.079 --> 01:20:50.199 I found out about it as soon as it was announced. 1648 01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:51.960 Someone sent me a text and said, this is happening. 1649 01:20:52.039 --> 01:20:54.000 It's happening at one. I'm like, I'm doing the show. 1650 01:20:55.399 --> 01:20:57.680 Don't get me wrong. I love the Gaylord Rockies. I 1651 01:20:57.720 --> 01:21:00.199 go there on every opportunity, very glad, fret. 1652 01:21:00.159 --> 01:21:01.960 And not Thursday when I'm flying out. That would not 1653 01:21:02.119 --> 01:21:04.000 be good. Oh your cruises this week? 1654 01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:04.600 Cruise? 1655 01:21:04.640 --> 01:21:04.960 Where is it? 1656 01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:05.560 Where are you going? 1657 01:21:05.600 --> 01:21:05.720 Now? 1658 01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:06.520 I'm going to California. 1659 01:21:06.560 --> 01:21:11.840 It's our my grandpa's official military like ceremony, celebrate life celebrations. 1660 01:21:12.039 --> 01:21:13.800 Oh that's nice. 1661 01:21:14.159 --> 01:21:15.159 Yeah, he was. 1662 01:21:15.760 --> 01:21:18.000 He was cremated, so no particular rush. So this is 1663 01:21:18.039 --> 01:21:20.479 where we're able to get all the family. Everywan's comment, 1664 01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:21.840 So what is in San Diego? 1665 01:21:21.920 --> 01:21:24.039 What is special about that your grandpa? 1666 01:21:24.520 --> 01:21:27.079 So I think I'm trying to remember we're flying into 1667 01:21:27.119 --> 01:21:28.520 I think I think we're flying in Ontario. 1668 01:21:28.640 --> 01:21:32.239 So somewhere southern California. Yesio is a great little airport. 1669 01:21:32.479 --> 01:21:33.199 It's fantastic. 1670 01:21:33.880 --> 01:21:37.920 I think the military. Whatever the places he's being buried, 1671 01:21:37.920 --> 01:21:39.680 I think it's the place he wanted to And again 1672 01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:41.840 military cemetery, yeah, I believe, I. 1673 01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:42.560 Believe, don'tquote. 1674 01:21:42.600 --> 01:21:44.960 But then California, all the most of the families there 1675 01:21:45.199 --> 01:21:48.079 got Gaian Hawaii family in Cali family in Vegas gotcha 1676 01:21:48.239 --> 01:21:48.960 central spot for all. 1677 01:21:49.000 --> 01:21:52.560 That's a great, great way to honor your grandpa. Get 1678 01:21:52.600 --> 01:21:55.239 everybody together. And to the person who said you think 1679 01:21:55.279 --> 01:21:57.920 TDA will make their way north to the Gaylord Rockies, 1680 01:21:58.039 --> 01:22:00.880 I don't know. Here's what I hope comes out of this. 1681 01:22:02.079 --> 01:22:04.600 I hope that Mayor Mike Kaufman, who I'm sure will 1682 01:22:04.640 --> 01:22:06.600 be there because it is in Aurora, and yes, the 1683 01:22:06.680 --> 01:22:11.279 Gay Lord Rockies is in Aurora. I hope he and 1684 01:22:11.640 --> 01:22:16.159 Daniel Jorinsky can let Donald Trump know what has occurred 1685 01:22:16.479 --> 01:22:20.720 since all of this stuff happened. And I hope they 1686 01:22:20.800 --> 01:22:23.199 let him know that Aurora has not been taken over 1687 01:22:23.279 --> 01:22:27.600 by gangs. So there you go, Mandy. I still recall 1688 01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:29.960 Trump canceling an interview with you at the last minute 1689 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:32.399 in twenty sixteen, right when you took over for Mike Rosen, 1690 01:22:33.319 --> 01:22:35.359 and I've texted you about it before and never got 1691 01:22:35.399 --> 01:22:38.720 an acknowledgment. I I'm not saying that didn't happen. It 1692 01:22:38.800 --> 01:22:41.079 absolutely could have happened. But you guys, I don't remember 1693 01:22:41.199 --> 01:22:41.720 stuff like that. 1694 01:22:41.920 --> 01:22:42.479 I just don't. 1695 01:22:42.640 --> 01:22:46.079 I remember when Brooke Shields canceled on me. That upset 1696 01:22:46.159 --> 01:22:48.680 me a great deal but when you're dealing with any 1697 01:22:48.760 --> 01:22:52.439 kind of politician or a candidate or anything, it's so fluid, 1698 01:22:53.560 --> 01:22:56.399 you know, meaning like they have other stuff to do, 1699 01:22:56.479 --> 01:22:59.319 they get a better offer, whatever they're running late, blah 1700 01:22:59.359 --> 01:22:59.880 blah blah. 1701 01:23:02.840 --> 01:23:03.199 I don't know. 1702 01:23:03.439 --> 01:23:05.640 I yeah, there you go. 1703 01:23:05.960 --> 01:23:09.119 The Gaylord has lots of parking and it's pretty cheap too. Yes, 1704 01:23:09.199 --> 01:23:12.720 it does have lots of parking. I'm assuming that if 1705 01:23:12.760 --> 01:23:15.159 you got a ticket, you're going to get some kind 1706 01:23:15.159 --> 01:23:16.960 of email with the details of what you have to do. 1707 01:23:17.239 --> 01:23:18.840 And I'm just going to say this. This event is 1708 01:23:18.840 --> 01:23:21.520 supposed to start at one. I would recommend that you 1709 01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:23.720 have your happy asses there at like eleven if you 1710 01:23:23.840 --> 01:23:27.359 have a ticket, because going through the security, being screened, 1711 01:23:27.439 --> 01:23:30.039 all of that stuff, it takes a lot longer than 1712 01:23:30.079 --> 01:23:31.239 you think it is, and you don't want to get 1713 01:23:31.279 --> 01:23:34.319 there and miss everything. So if you're going, make sure 1714 01:23:34.359 --> 01:23:36.479 that you're going to get there in a timely fashion. Manday, 1715 01:23:36.520 --> 01:23:38.359 do you know how many tickets were available? 1716 01:23:38.359 --> 01:23:39.319 I have no idea. 1717 01:23:40.880 --> 01:23:46.119 The Gaylord Rocky has some massive convention spaces, so I 1718 01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:51.000 mean thousands at least at least when we get back. 1719 01:23:51.119 --> 01:23:53.720 John Caldera joins us he's got an infuriating column that 1720 01:23:53.800 --> 01:23:56.560 I linked on the blog today about how our tax 1721 01:23:56.680 --> 01:24:00.720 dollars are funding the fight against oil and gas. 1722 01:24:00.800 --> 01:24:01.600 We'll do that next. 1723 01:24:01.800 --> 01:24:05.079 My friend from the Independence Institute, rabble rouser and all 1724 01:24:05.119 --> 01:24:10.479 around good guy, John Caldera, Hello, my friend, that was 1725 01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:13.279 a very bright and sunny good afternoon. Are you feeling 1726 01:24:13.359 --> 01:24:14.119 your oaths today? 1727 01:24:14.840 --> 01:24:17.520 You always make me feel bright and sunny. You are 1728 01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:18.960 the sunshine in my life. 1729 01:24:19.720 --> 01:24:22.199 Wire it's getting deep in here and we're not even 1730 01:24:22.279 --> 01:24:24.159 flooding with a hurricane Milton yet. 1731 01:24:24.239 --> 01:24:24.279 No. 1732 01:24:24.880 --> 01:24:28.239 Uh, John, I gotta tell you, I got soup. I 1733 01:24:28.319 --> 01:24:31.199 had a high school teacher, Nancy Hunter was her name. 1734 01:24:31.279 --> 01:24:34.359 She was also our cheerleading sponsor, and she was an 1735 01:24:34.439 --> 01:24:36.520 older lady when I went to school there. She actually 1736 01:24:36.760 --> 01:24:39.079 just passed away, but her big line was when you 1737 01:24:39.239 --> 01:24:41.800 do something out of order in her algebra class, she'd. 1738 01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:44.079 Go, that just burns me up. 1739 01:24:44.479 --> 01:24:47.479 And when I read your column this week, I channeled 1740 01:24:47.560 --> 01:24:50.680 Nancy Hunter and I said, that just burns me up 1741 01:24:51.399 --> 01:24:54.720 because you exposed to me something I did not know, 1742 01:24:54.840 --> 01:24:58.079 and that is I am funding the opposition. Please explain 1743 01:24:58.119 --> 01:24:59.520 to my listeners what you wrote about. 1744 01:25:01.000 --> 01:25:04.199 You are funding the opposition, you know, the old thing 1745 01:25:04.319 --> 01:25:07.359 and poker. You're playing with the House's money. Oh yeah, Well, 1746 01:25:08.520 --> 01:25:12.359 your opponents on energy policy, who are trying to make 1747 01:25:12.439 --> 01:25:15.680 all of your energy choices go away, are spending a 1748 01:25:15.720 --> 01:25:19.520 lot of money to lobby the legislature, lobby the Oil 1749 01:25:19.560 --> 01:25:24.279 and Gas Commission, and you are giving them government money 1750 01:25:24.439 --> 01:25:28.079 to do so. And I didn't know until I poked around. 1751 01:25:29.680 --> 01:25:36.800 The Colorado's Office of Environmental Justice gives out the Environmental 1752 01:25:37.079 --> 01:25:43.960 Justice Grant program. So, in other news, Colorado has an 1753 01:25:44.039 --> 01:25:45.560 Office of Environmental Justice. 1754 01:25:47.439 --> 01:25:49.640 I never wanted to be mayor until right now, just 1755 01:25:49.720 --> 01:25:52.079 so I can go rip the name tag off the 1756 01:25:52.199 --> 01:25:56.439 door of the Environmental Office of Justice whatever Justice League 1757 01:25:56.479 --> 01:25:58.000 of environment What what is this? 1758 01:25:58.359 --> 01:26:02.239 Right? And it's yeah, it's It's staffed by a bunch 1759 01:26:02.319 --> 01:26:08.439 of people with crowd pronouns, and they get their job 1760 01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:13.199 is to spend our tax money giving out grants and 1761 01:26:13.439 --> 01:26:16.600 helping promote environmental justice. 1762 01:26:18.880 --> 01:26:19.760 What does that even mean? 1763 01:26:21.920 --> 01:26:23.920 God, I was hoping you wouldn't ask that. I said, 1764 01:26:24.000 --> 01:26:29.520 nobody knows what that means. Here's my research, here's here's 1765 01:26:29.560 --> 01:26:34.479 what I found. You know, the term environmental justice, it's 1766 01:26:34.560 --> 01:26:37.840 kind of like defining pornography. You really can't, but they 1767 01:26:37.960 --> 01:26:40.640 know it when they see it, and so they I 1768 01:26:40.720 --> 01:26:44.560 looked at their definition in the state and it's this weird, convoluted, 1769 01:26:44.920 --> 01:26:49.319 bureaucratic fluff and a woke speak. And basically, the way 1770 01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:52.359 it looked to me was their job is to split 1771 01:26:52.520 --> 01:26:57.039 our community into as many smaller communities as possible and 1772 01:26:57.159 --> 01:27:00.560 then say that the ones that are most victimized get 1773 01:27:00.640 --> 01:27:05.239 to work to push socialism. So they find these groups, 1774 01:27:05.760 --> 01:27:11.159 tell them that they've been victims of the environment or 1775 01:27:11.640 --> 01:27:15.279 utilities or something. And what I found out, and you 1776 01:27:15.359 --> 01:27:19.640 love this. Our money goes to the Office of Environmental 1777 01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:23.079 Justice and their goal is to quote give aid to 1778 01:27:23.600 --> 01:27:29.600 disportionately impacted communities. Whi's just like the term environmental justice 1779 01:27:29.800 --> 01:27:34.239 requires yet more definitions. Okay, so yeah, let me they 1780 01:27:34.319 --> 01:27:40.079 have a list. The office says that disproportionately impacted communities 1781 01:27:40.159 --> 01:27:47.760 include low income communities, communities of color, housing burdened communities. 1782 01:27:47.800 --> 01:27:49.279 Wait stop, wait what wait? 1783 01:27:49.560 --> 01:27:53.000 So they're living under their house, they're holding their house 1784 01:27:53.119 --> 01:27:53.760 up on their. 1785 01:27:53.640 --> 01:28:00.560 Back, they're burdened housing burden. I love this one. Whistically 1786 01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:09.119 isolated communities. What here's yes, linguistically isolated. Yeah, I guess 1787 01:28:09.159 --> 01:28:17.720 they can't speak well, historically marginalized communities, huh, communities with 1788 01:28:18.000 --> 01:28:26.720 environmental and socio economic impacts, tribal lands, and mobile home communities. 1789 01:28:27.760 --> 01:28:31.640 Now I don't even know what all that means. So 1790 01:28:31.760 --> 01:28:35.239 they get to decide, you know, who is a linguistically 1791 01:28:35.520 --> 01:28:39.479 isolated community. But basically they give out these grants to 1792 01:28:40.399 --> 01:28:46.760 organizations to help rectify the injustice of utilities. And what 1793 01:28:46.840 --> 01:28:49.600 I love about this, well, let me give you a 1794 01:28:49.640 --> 01:28:55.920 couple examples. They're one of the leading anti fossil fuel 1795 01:28:56.000 --> 01:29:01.000 groups is called three fifty Colorado. There's a national organization 1796 01:29:01.159 --> 01:29:05.000 as well, and last year they got about nine hundred 1797 01:29:05.039 --> 01:29:10.680 thousand dollars in donations. Of that, one hundred seventy three thousand, 1798 01:29:10.800 --> 01:29:16.680 seven hundred dollars came from your Office of Environmental Justice. 1799 01:29:17.479 --> 01:29:23.319 There's another organization called Greenhouse Connection Center, and their job 1800 01:29:23.439 --> 01:29:25.000 is to pair. You're gonna like this, this is the 1801 01:29:25.039 --> 01:29:28.680 Mandy Tonnels thing. You like this, prepare the arts and 1802 01:29:29.119 --> 01:29:37.840 activism with healing, connection, education and transformation as they developed 1803 01:29:38.800 --> 01:29:45.880 quote develop climate solutions with lasting environmental and social benefits, 1804 01:29:46.960 --> 01:29:49.239 or does that mean they they're being group. 1805 01:29:49.319 --> 01:29:51.520 Well well, okay, wait, wait, okay, So I just want 1806 01:29:51.520 --> 01:29:53.920 to ask you a question about that last one, because 1807 01:29:54.000 --> 01:29:58.479 I'm actually working on a Greek tragedy style musical about 1808 01:29:58.520 --> 01:30:01.399 the Tina Peters situation. And so what you're telling me 1809 01:30:02.119 --> 01:30:06.960 is that if I just add a climate change component, maybe. 1810 01:30:06.760 --> 01:30:07.520 They'll give me money. 1811 01:30:09.239 --> 01:30:13.600 Exactly. But you have to be anti fossil fuels to 1812 01:30:13.760 --> 01:30:17.720 do this. By the way, the woman who founded the 1813 01:30:17.760 --> 01:30:22.560 group I just said the Greenhouse Connection also works for 1814 01:30:23.439 --> 01:30:28.880 the alt left group Colorado Rising. They build themselves as 1815 01:30:29.319 --> 01:30:34.159 oil and gases chief adversary. And let me just give 1816 01:30:34.199 --> 01:30:42.800 you one more. There's something called Urban Symbiosis. That's another organization. 1817 01:30:43.720 --> 01:30:47.880 They're focused on building a fair ecosystem and food system. 1818 01:30:48.439 --> 01:30:51.800 So their budget, their budget that I saw in their 1819 01:30:51.840 --> 01:30:55.840 tax forms was one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars and 1820 01:30:56.000 --> 01:31:00.680 they got a grant for two hundred and seventeen dollars. 1821 01:31:00.720 --> 01:31:05.520 They almost triple their budget by getting gifts from Colorado taxpayers. 1822 01:31:06.359 --> 01:31:11.760 And this money is used to lobby, to go down 1823 01:31:11.800 --> 01:31:13.079 and lobby. A matter of fact, you can see it 1824 01:31:13.119 --> 01:31:15.359 on some of their tax forms of how much is 1825 01:31:15.399 --> 01:31:20.199 being used for direct lobbying and others that they're just 1826 01:31:20.359 --> 01:31:23.359 used to organize people. Now, this is great if you 1827 01:31:23.520 --> 01:31:27.560 are an anti energy guy, maybe you love this, but 1828 01:31:27.760 --> 01:31:31.359 that also means if the other team gets in charge 1829 01:31:31.880 --> 01:31:36.119 and starts spending tax money to give to organizations to 1830 01:31:36.359 --> 01:31:40.279 lobby for oil and gas cracking or coal, you've got 1831 01:31:40.359 --> 01:31:44.000 to be okay with that as well. And I guess 1832 01:31:44.119 --> 01:31:45.960 ray I'll wrap it up with this part, which is 1833 01:31:46.319 --> 01:31:50.239 what's so crazy, is that what they try to do 1834 01:31:51.159 --> 01:31:54.439 is under the skies of trying to help the poor 1835 01:31:55.000 --> 01:31:59.199 via this environmental justice. These elitists are working to make 1836 01:31:59.560 --> 01:32:05.840 energy prices skyrocket, which disproportionately hurts guess who. 1837 01:32:06.359 --> 01:32:06.840 The poor. 1838 01:32:07.640 --> 01:32:11.439 So they are using the poor as ponds to raise 1839 01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:16.520 energy prices and cut off our energy supply. They exploit 1840 01:32:16.640 --> 01:32:22.880 financially vulnerable groups to lobby for unworkable energy policies that 1841 01:32:22.960 --> 01:32:28.279 are going to devastate financially vulnerable groups. Yeah, this is 1842 01:32:28.439 --> 01:32:32.479 beyond perverse. They're encouraging people to want to see themselves 1843 01:32:32.479 --> 01:32:36.560 as victims and then to use those newly identified victims 1844 01:32:36.640 --> 01:32:40.199 to lobby for laws that will hurt those very same people. 1845 01:32:41.600 --> 01:32:42.760 It's ugly, it's sick. 1846 01:32:43.039 --> 01:32:45.640 John the I don't know if you saw this study. 1847 01:32:45.720 --> 01:32:48.760 It came and went very very quickly from our news 1848 01:32:48.880 --> 01:32:51.319 media coverage. And that was they did a long study 1849 01:32:51.720 --> 01:32:55.119 in the name of environmental justice about the air quality 1850 01:32:55.319 --> 01:32:57.720 around the and I want to say it was the. 1851 01:33:00.039 --> 01:33:03.359 Elisias wants what are the neighborhoods right there? 1852 01:33:03.720 --> 01:33:03.960 Thank you? 1853 01:33:04.520 --> 01:33:07.520 Wanta Alirius wants you a neighborhood. And so they spent 1854 01:33:07.600 --> 01:33:10.000 all this money doing this environmental justice study because they 1855 01:33:10.039 --> 01:33:13.000 were hell bent on proving that it was I seventy 1856 01:33:13.119 --> 01:33:15.920 that was leading to higher rates of asthma and other 1857 01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:18.880 breathing conditions in those neighborhoods, only to find out the 1858 01:33:18.960 --> 01:33:22.319 air quality wasn't bad at all, and that study just disappeared. 1859 01:33:22.479 --> 01:33:24.800 It just was like it was here today, gone tomorrow. 1860 01:33:24.840 --> 01:33:27.279 We're never going to see it again. So what we're 1861 01:33:27.319 --> 01:33:31.800 doing here is saying we want to go after environmental justice. 1862 01:33:31.840 --> 01:33:34.319 But when then the study doesn't show that there is 1863 01:33:34.479 --> 01:33:39.560 environmental injustice, they're just moving the goalposts. I mean, am 1864 01:33:39.640 --> 01:33:39.960 I wrong? 1865 01:33:40.239 --> 01:33:40.359 Right? 1866 01:33:41.199 --> 01:33:41.239 No? 1867 01:33:42.000 --> 01:33:45.600 Understand, one of the things that has happened in Colorado 1868 01:33:45.600 --> 01:33:50.000 over the last couple decades is the Slowinsky way that 1869 01:33:50.319 --> 01:33:54.399 anti energy people have infiltrated the system. So we have 1870 01:33:54.479 --> 01:33:57.640 a PUC that wants to get rid of affordable energy 1871 01:33:57.680 --> 01:34:00.279 We've got a governor who appoints people on the Oil 1872 01:34:00.359 --> 01:34:03.239 and Gas Commission to stop that. We've got these pressure 1873 01:34:03.319 --> 01:34:07.520 groups that push for these laws and these regulations with 1874 01:34:07.960 --> 01:34:11.159 our own money, and the people who are going to 1875 01:34:11.199 --> 01:34:16.800 get destroyed by this be the poor in Notice your 1876 01:34:16.880 --> 01:34:20.439 utility bills keep going up. It's going to be worse 1877 01:34:20.720 --> 01:34:23.159 in Colorado perhaps than any other state in the nation, 1878 01:34:23.960 --> 01:34:26.800 because they are taking away affordable energy. 1879 01:34:28.920 --> 01:34:32.600 So right now, do we have any recourse other than 1880 01:34:33.039 --> 01:34:35.199 electing people who will shut these offices down. 1881 01:34:36.960 --> 01:34:43.760 This was created by the legislature, I believe, and we 1882 01:34:43.880 --> 01:34:47.000 have an Office of Environmental Justice. We need a governor 1883 01:34:47.760 --> 01:34:52.159 and a legislature that gets rid of this. Quite simply, 1884 01:34:52.199 --> 01:34:55.960 you're spending millions of your dollars to raise your utility 1885 01:34:56.039 --> 01:35:00.560 prices and shut off affordable energy. This is this is 1886 01:35:00.640 --> 01:35:02.840 so wrong because it hurts the poor. What I love 1887 01:35:02.840 --> 01:35:06.680 about the left is that they're constantly squawking about how 1888 01:35:06.800 --> 01:35:10.159 they're the ones that care about the poor, but nearly 1889 01:35:10.479 --> 01:35:14.760 every policy they do screws the poor. What they do 1890 01:35:14.920 --> 01:35:18.960 on environmental stuff hurts the poor who can't afford it. 1891 01:35:19.039 --> 01:35:20.880 What do they do with education? They do it one 1892 01:35:20.960 --> 01:35:25.039 size fits all, rich people can get out, poor people can't. Transportation, 1893 01:35:25.119 --> 01:35:28.760 they put most of our money into a failed trolley 1894 01:35:28.880 --> 01:35:32.560 system that almost no one rides. But if you have money, 1895 01:35:32.600 --> 01:35:35.720 you can buy a car. So they hate the poor 1896 01:35:36.159 --> 01:35:40.279 and they exploit them, and now they're using our money 1897 01:35:40.399 --> 01:35:44.399 to do so. And I was surprised. I've never seen 1898 01:35:44.479 --> 01:35:47.239 this report anywhere, so I put it in my column 1899 01:35:47.279 --> 01:35:50.720 for the Denver Gazette. Will be up on Complete Colorado 1900 01:35:50.920 --> 01:35:53.000 later today, and I hope you'll link to it. I 1901 01:35:53.079 --> 01:35:54.159 hope on your blog. 1902 01:35:54.239 --> 01:35:54.800 Are you kidding me? 1903 01:35:54.840 --> 01:35:58.279 It's already linked on my blog, John, Because if I'm 1904 01:35:58.359 --> 01:36:00.840 going to get angry about something, than God, I'm not 1905 01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:02.640 going to be the only one. I Am going to 1906 01:36:02.760 --> 01:36:05.039 make all of my listeners read it too, so they 1907 01:36:05.079 --> 01:36:07.520 can be as frustrated as I am about this stuff. 1908 01:36:07.560 --> 01:36:10.039 But this is Do we know when the Office of 1909 01:36:10.199 --> 01:36:12.880 Environmental Justice came into being? Do you know when it 1910 01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:14.359 had to have been after twenty nineteen? 1911 01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:16.680 Yeah, there was just a couple of years ago. 1912 01:36:16.880 --> 01:36:19.680 Because I can't imagine that if the Republicans had any 1913 01:36:19.800 --> 01:36:22.319 say in the legislature that this would be a thing, 1914 01:36:22.600 --> 01:36:23.479 and we all know they. 1915 01:36:23.399 --> 01:36:25.199 Don't for some time now. 1916 01:36:25.359 --> 01:36:29.880 So I what I'm looking at I'm looking at this 1917 01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:33.920 from a different perspective now, John, because obviously you and 1918 01:36:34.079 --> 01:36:37.640 I we are doing this wrong, right, we have to 1919 01:36:37.720 --> 01:36:41.439 set up some kind of organization with the right language 1920 01:36:41.720 --> 01:36:43.479 and go with me on this. With the right language. 1921 01:36:43.479 --> 01:36:45.960 We're going to use all of the buzzwords, but we're 1922 01:36:46.000 --> 01:36:49.239 going to use their inability to be straight about something 1923 01:36:49.359 --> 01:36:52.039 to our advantage. We are going to gunk up the 1924 01:36:52.159 --> 01:36:55.680 works so completely with all of the little buzzwords on 1925 01:36:55.760 --> 01:36:59.720 the left and justice and what was it linguistically What 1926 01:36:59.800 --> 01:37:01.479 was the linguistic thing? I forgot already. 1927 01:37:03.960 --> 01:37:07.640 It was linguistically isolated, right. 1928 01:37:07.800 --> 01:37:10.520 Right, right, So we're going to use all that jargon, 1929 01:37:10.880 --> 01:37:12.239 and you and I are going to put in a 1930 01:37:12.319 --> 01:37:14.079 grant proposal and see if we can get some of 1931 01:37:14.119 --> 01:37:14.560 this grift. 1932 01:37:15.600 --> 01:37:20.479 I would love to do that. The Colorado Office of 1933 01:37:20.640 --> 01:37:26.159 Environmental Justice is run by the Colorado Department of Public 1934 01:37:26.239 --> 01:37:30.640 Health and Environment and they're the ones who they're the 1935 01:37:30.680 --> 01:37:34.119 ones who put it all out with our money. So 1936 01:37:34.239 --> 01:37:38.800 keep in mind where you have potholes, millions of dollars 1937 01:37:38.840 --> 01:37:42.319 are going to fund the alt Left. When when you're 1938 01:37:42.359 --> 01:37:45.479 not getting the buses you need for your kids, you're 1939 01:37:45.520 --> 01:37:48.479 not getting the education you need. There you have it. 1940 01:37:48.920 --> 01:37:49.720 That's where it's going. 1941 01:37:50.079 --> 01:37:51.159 I have to listen. 1942 01:37:51.479 --> 01:37:52.920 I have to share a text message now. 1943 01:37:52.960 --> 01:37:54.319 I just want to warn you before I read this 1944 01:37:54.399 --> 01:37:57.199 text message to you, John Caldera from the Independence Institute. 1945 01:37:57.600 --> 01:37:59.880 Your IQ is going to drop just a hair after 1946 01:38:00.079 --> 01:38:01.520 you hear this, but I want you to listen to 1947 01:38:01.600 --> 01:38:02.000 it anyway. 1948 01:38:02.039 --> 01:38:02.920 It's the difficult thing. 1949 01:38:03.079 --> 01:38:04.239 I've known me for a lot of time. 1950 01:38:04.439 --> 01:38:05.680 Just well, there's not a lot of hair for it 1951 01:38:05.760 --> 01:38:08.439 to drop either. So how about this when this text says, 1952 01:38:08.840 --> 01:38:11.800 are you serious? You used to be able to ride 1953 01:38:11.840 --> 01:38:16.399 a trolley across the country with transfers. The oil companies 1954 01:38:16.520 --> 01:38:19.960 burn the trolleys to the ground to make you buy 1955 01:38:20.199 --> 01:38:23.359 a car. And this is the liberals fault it. Gag 1956 01:38:23.520 --> 01:38:25.720 me is how they signed it. So I don't know 1957 01:38:25.760 --> 01:38:28.640 if gag is a is a family name or if 1958 01:38:28.720 --> 01:38:31.000 it's just their parents came up with something creative, but 1959 01:38:31.079 --> 01:38:32.239 that's what we're dealing with. 1960 01:38:32.920 --> 01:38:34.319 Let me go off on that one for a second, 1961 01:38:34.359 --> 01:38:38.960 because this is one of my most important passions, that 1962 01:38:39.239 --> 01:38:42.520 mobility is the key to the American tream. That you 1963 01:38:42.640 --> 01:38:44.640 show me a man who's limited to how far he 1964 01:38:44.800 --> 01:38:47.800 can walk, or how far he can go on public transit. 1965 01:38:48.279 --> 01:38:50.720 I will show you a man who will never go 1966 01:38:50.880 --> 01:38:57.640 above the first rung of the economic class. And mostly 1967 01:38:58.119 --> 01:39:01.279 it is mostly people of color who are poor, who 1968 01:39:01.359 --> 01:39:05.039 can't afford a car. I've probably regaled you many times 1969 01:39:05.119 --> 01:39:07.520 with a story of my five hundred dollars dots in 1970 01:39:07.640 --> 01:39:09.880 to ten that I got in college. And it was 1971 01:39:09.920 --> 01:39:12.119 a babemobile because you know, I went in zero to 1972 01:39:12.159 --> 01:39:15.760 sixty and under fifteen minutes, face pain cracked, wind sealed, 1973 01:39:16.760 --> 01:39:18.760 the headline are probably in the middle. 1974 01:39:19.319 --> 01:39:19.520 Yeah. 1975 01:39:19.720 --> 01:39:24.279 Yeah. And when when it rained, water would pull up 1976 01:39:24.319 --> 01:39:27.239 in the passenger side. Yeah, so I had to take 1977 01:39:27.239 --> 01:39:29.079 a hammer and nail poke a hole and to get 1978 01:39:29.159 --> 01:39:33.720 drain it. But that five hundred dollars dots and could 1979 01:39:33.800 --> 01:39:37.039 go anywhere Alexis could go and do it for a 1980 01:39:37.079 --> 01:39:39.720 lot less.
