One year after metro Denver received half of its usual snowfall over a three day period in early November, we have yet to see our first snow of Fall 2025. As the climate keeps changing, 'climate change' as a theory is a catch-all for any variations in the weather. Which is convenient for those who have used the cause as a fundraising cash cow.
While Ryan acknowledges pollution is bad and we should be stewards of our environment, the thought that humans cause - or can solve - all problems our planet encounters is laughably myopic.
Also, as Democrats fold on the government shutdown and the 60-vote filibuster threshold is met in the Senate to invoke cloture and a floor vote on the stalled continuing resolution, Trump claims another victory and the Left can't figure out why he keeps winning.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So it hasn't snowjet in Denver's record this on Friday,
October the twenty fourth. So the question a lot you've got,
Why has in snowjet and why do we really have
much on the horizon either? Well, simply put, there's kind
of one main thing that I'm going to highlight as
the main reason why, as in snowjet, and of course
we're a few days past our average first snow, the
main reason being our storm track is simply too far
(00:22):
north right now. But we were to get these storms
another two one hundred and fifty two ore miles south,
we'd be talking about certainly some pretty widespread snow in
the mountains and a pretty good chance of it for
us here in Denver.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But this is a very classic lin Nina look.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
To this storm track so far this winter season, where
we're seeing the jet stream hopinging across southern Canada the
far northern United States, and that takes those storms with
it up in that region, and first here in Denver,
we get mostly shut out from any real meaningful rain
or snow chances when that storm track is that far north.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
We may get a little wind, the mountains.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
May get a little snow, but here in Denver, we
just don't get those big poles of cold are that
we really need to generate.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
From that snow. Now, there's a couple other factors that
play as well.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We've had a few storms come on in from the
south and the west, but this time of view, when
we're getting these cut off.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Loads coming in from the south and the west, temperatures
just too warm.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So I'll highlight three things is why we haven't seen
that snow yet. One storm track too far north. Two,
we're seeing those temperatures that are still too warm. At
number three, it's a bit of a loa ninia vibe.
As I mentioned before, if you're a Denver snow lover,
you probably don't like that either.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well, if there's one people who does like a La
Nina vibe, it's Jesse Thomas.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
There's and I'll.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Get into the difference between La Nina and El Nino
in just a moment. That was Crispianci nine News weather
forecast or meteorologists of course, explaining why it hadn't snowed
yet in the Denver metro. And that was going back
a couple of fridays now to October twenty fourth, and
here we are Monday, November tenth, and Jesse, last I checked,
we haven't gotten any snow down here, right?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Confirmed?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Okay, confirmed, And a lot of people are freaking out,
and you know, typical usual suspects, round them up.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
You got the climate change crowd.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
But I'm looking over here at Fox thirty one covering
the same story and the latest first snow in Denver?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Can you guess when that was?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Jesse Thomas just by year latest first snow in.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Denver by the year on record?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yes, oh man, I'm gonna go too, thousand twelve.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Pretty close.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It was, as a matter of fact, just a few
years ago, twenty twenty one, the latest first snow we
ever had in Denver on record.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Now this goes back to what the.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Late eighteen hundreds and they started keeping these things, so
who knows before then, but December tenth, twenty twenty one
was our latest first snow on record. Now, I'm gonna
go through these because it is to make a point.
The second latest first snow was November twenty first in
nineteen thirty four, over ninety years ago. Third on this
(03:01):
list again, latest first snow in Denver November nineteenth, nineteen
thirty one, then fourth on the list November seventeenth, that
was twenty sixteen, not that long ago, nine years ago.
And then the fifth November sixteenth latest. First snow here
we are it's the tenth that was eighteen ninety four. No,
(03:23):
why do those dates matter? It matter because they're all
over the map. You know this trend that we've been
told about climate change? Right, I for your climate change
and I was I touched on this late last week
with Christian Toto and Jody Calm who was in for
Debora Flora right side of Hollywood. Bill Gates is off
the climate change train. That's shocking in and of itself.
(03:47):
I share largely the opinion that el Rushbow had that
it is a grift. It is a scam. It is
a way to make money on the cheap. It is
a way to gain control over people's lives by inflicting
guilt of them. Well, you're polluting the atmosphere. You need
to buy carbon offset credits. What you can just buy
(04:07):
your way out of the snow. You either polluted or
you didn't. I'm gonna offset that was from carbon credits
and feel better about myself. I am all for clean environment,
clean air, clean water. You know, what happened to Lake
Erie was a debacle. That was you know, when I
was a little kid. You couldn't drink the water that
(04:28):
came out of Lake Erie. You couldn't fish, you couldn't
eat fish. It came out of Lake Erie. It was
very polluted. It was bad, you know. And since then
we do have environmental laws in place, and you know
who had to thank for that in a large part.
The lips are gonna love this, Richard Nixon for starting
(04:49):
the EPA. As ironic as it is, I'm not saying
the climate doesn't change. In fact, that's my point. The
climate does change a lot. What humans have to do
with that, the cause and effect, the long term impact.
We want to stop polluting, I'm not going to say otherwise.
I don't want to, you know, just drain oil into
(05:10):
the ocean. But even then, remember that BP spill in
the Gulf of Mexico and how the aquatic life reacted
to that, and that oil was consumed and the whole
ecosystem renewed itself. That this is a very durable planet.
It's not to say we want to end the planet,
(05:32):
you know, And if you're so concerned about this, is
what I always go to, whether it's John Kerry or
Greta Thugberg or whoever else, Why aren't you going and
protesting in New Delhi, India or Beijing, China.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
These are the two.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Largest polluters on the planet by a lot. We never
hear about them. It's always about Europe or the United States.
My point is, okay, we could do everything everything. Let's
just go down that rabbit. Let's go hug some trees,
Let's be really pro environmental. Let's restrict all oil and
gas to what end? If the Chinese and the government
(06:10):
of India is not on board and they just keep polluting,
it doesn't matter. You keep pouring water into a bucket
that has holes, you're never going to fill it up.
And that's the same concept here unless we're all pulling
in the same direction. And you might be an advocate that, oh,
we got to go after China and India, but they're
not doing it. Why aren't they doing it? The headline
(06:31):
on Fox thirty one is as follows. Denver had nearly
half the average winter's worth of snow during this time
in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
So wait a minute, that was just a year.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Ago, a year ago, we had like half the average
winner's worth of snow at this time one calendar year ago.
But this year we haven't seen snow yet on November tenth?
How did it change so much? Whole climate change? So
how do we know when climate change is no longer
(07:04):
a problem?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Does it stop changing?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Do we have just consistently very stable weather, the same weather,
because then it's not changing. But if the climate does change,
which does do here in Colorado, we have change. We
have four seasons here. We have summer, we have fall,
we have winter, we have spring. Some of them are colder,
some of them are warmer. Some of them had a
lot of snow. This one so far no snow. What's
(07:27):
the rhyme or reason? Where's the pattern? Show me mathematically
plotted out? Where is the pattern?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Here?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And this again from today Fox thirty one online. Snow
is inching towards some of the latest first snows in
Denver history, but this time last year, the city already
had nearly half the average winter's worth of snow. As
of November tenth, that's today, Denver still hasn't seen any
snow this year, which is fairly unusual, as the average
first snow in the city is Around October eighteenth, Nonver
(07:56):
is now heading toward one of the top latest first
snowfalls in the city's history. But again by this time
in twenty twenty four, the weather was quite different. The
first measurable snowfall in Denver in twenty twenty four started
fairly late, after a hot summer and hot fall climate change.
The first snow came late and fell on November five,
twenty twenty four, but over the next few days the
(08:20):
snow didn't stop. Between November fifth and November ninth, Denver
saw twenty inches of snow, a little less than two
feet of snow in the city. I remember that during
the storm last year November sixth, twenty twenty four, there
was only a high of thirty degrees and Denver spent
more than twenty four hours below freezing at this point
(08:41):
last year, this massive first snowstorm left Denver with half
the average winters worth of snow before November.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Tenth of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
In total, the snowstorm left November is one of the
snowy east in history. Now, one year later, the city
is dry and in the seventies climate change global warning
with Denver still hitting the seventies. In November, Fox thirty
one has pinpoint weather meteorologists Trevi's Michaels believes twenty twenty
(09:10):
five could have one of the latest snows in Denver history,
with the first snow expected to land in late November.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
There are still no signs of snow on November tenth.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Leaving Denver twenty inches off from the snowfall in about
forty degrees warmer than around this time last year.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
What does this all add up to.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
It's weather. They call it weather for a reason. We
have weather forecasts for a reason. Weather changes. Sometimes it's hot,
sometimes it's warm. Some winners are cooler, somewheers are warmer.
Now a lot of people are saying, well, the winners,
on average, they're getting gradually warmer. Okay, even if I
allow for that, and I will, if you were to
track before meteorology became like a thing, which is mid
(09:49):
to late eighteen hundreds, they start measuring, you know, barometric pressure,
total amounts of rainfall, snowfall, record temperatures, you know, instead
of just the farmer's Almanac, which I have read some
where that's going out of print, and that's a sad thing.
But what human caused the ice age. A human element
(10:09):
was a factor in the ice age happening at all, Well,
there wasn't one, so that was a lot of global
cooling at that point.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
What happened to the planet? Wait, we didn't have anything
to do with that.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
And then there was the mass extinction event that killed
all the dinosaurs.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
What did humans have to do with that? Well?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Nothing, nothing, There's nothing we could do. This goes back
to the whole COVID protocol. Stand six feet apart, wear
a mask, get the shots. You got to care about
your neighbor. You know, if we are we're all in
this together. We just got to do something. We got
to do something. I wear a mask. I feel like
I'm doing something. Folks, there are some things you can't
do anything about. And if there's another cataclysmic event like
(10:50):
that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, we're all gonners
and it's over and there's nothing we can do. You
might want to be able to do something, but a
lot of people out there can't accept the fact that
there are things that are beyond our control and also
beyond our realm of understanding. We are insignificant in the universe,
and I know you don't want to hear that, but
(11:11):
that's just a simple fact of the matter. We are
speca dust in the history of the universe. You know,
we're here and we're gone, and you know it's not
even a blink in the eye of the greater history
of the universe. So and like with COVID, there are
certain aspects about that that we.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Couldn't know, We couldn't control. Bad things are going to happen.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Sometimes you can't prevent bad things from happening, and that
scares people because we want to feel like we have
control over our lives, over the environment, over weather, over
what happens to this planet. Did the degree that we're able,
we should, you know, live a clean lifestyle. I'm all
for cars that get better gas mileage, but not at
the expense of pummeling the consumer and making the cost
(11:56):
of living, including right here in Colorado skyrot. While other
parts of the world they're blissfully unaware or they don't
care and they're not participating in this whole exercise five seven, seven,
three nine. You can send those texts along. Ryan next
should be talking about contrails.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
No.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I always say I would believe in climate change when
the liberals quit buying beach houses. Correct, look at prisident Obama,
where does your own property? Absolutely true, it's not that
I'm saying we pollution isn't bad.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
It is bad.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
We don't want to purposefully make the environment dirtier. Do
what you can, you know, recycle if that makes you
feel better. Even Michael Brown though he said they.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Don't really recycle ron They throw that stuff away and.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
What they do with it once it leaves my apartment,
I don't have any control over. I'm doing my part.
I feel like I'm doing my part. I'm trying to
be the good.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Guy here.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
More tax five seven seven three nine, Ryan, I absolutely
admire Bernie your guest. Yes, Bernie Lake who joined us
an hour ago. She needs to visit all of the
Colorado counties gop chairs and talk to all the people.
What a fantastic person. Thank you again, Ryan, always love
your show. I always love you listening. And yeah, Bernie
is fantastic. And this is what we got to do,
(13:16):
and this is what we're talking about with the Fort
Collins event coming up. Is that the only way we're
going to make headway in this state and win back
hearts and minds. Is to campaign and stand fast on
the issues where we have the winning hand, and one
of those is not transing the kids, not cutting off
(13:37):
their body parts.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
That would be one aspect of it.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Another would be rallying on behalf of free speech, and
that we are not the fascist that the left chooses
to call us, but they are the neo fascists who
cannot tolerate dissent and will not allow it on their campus.
Is because speech is violence to them, words are violence
(14:01):
to them. They feel how they feel matters, it dictates
their policy.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
They feel threatened.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The queer people on campus and Durango there at Fort
Lewis College feel threatened.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
What I mean, it's more than a feeling.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
That's what Boston said, and they're right because it has
to be more than that to dictate policy just because
somebody's speech makes you feel uncomfortable. That's the point of
being on a college campus, of engaging in that debate,
of winning hearts and minds, of competing in the arena
of ideas. You don't just get to win by default
because you feel like you're right or you have the
(14:38):
moral high ground. You have to be able to defend
your ideas, and one of those is on climate change,
which that in and of itself was a word game
or weillian because when I was growing up, it was
global warning. And even before global warming in the seventies,
Leonard Nimoy did a special on wait for it, global cooling.
(15:02):
That was the seventies. Things were getting colder.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
You know. President Carter was telling us to put on another.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Sweat because we can't afford to have more heat in
our homes and a lot of FI so just put
on another layer of clothes.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
No, that's America.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So we began the segment hearing from Crispyong nine News
and it seems like a good guy who was explaining,
you know, this is El Nino, it's La Nina.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
I mean have heard those terms. El Nino.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Southern oscillation is a global climate phenomenon.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
This is from Wikipedia, So take it with a grain
of salt.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
That emerges from variation in winds and sea surface temperatures
over the tropical Pacific Ocean. Those variations have an irregular pattern,
but do have some semblance of cycles.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
The occurrence of al Nino is not predictable.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
It affects the climate of much of the tropics and
subtropics and has links to higher latitude regions of the world.
The warming phase of the sea surf temperature is known
as El Nino, and the cooling phase that is Lan Nina.
The southern oscillation is the accompanying atmospheric oscillation which is
(16:12):
coupled with the sea temperature change. So what Chris Bianchi
was talking about in his report as to why it
hasn't snowed yet in the Denver Metro was La Nina,
And as I just went over, that's the cooling phase
of this entire operation.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
El Nino would be the warming phase.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
El Nino would also be well explained by this Saturday
Night Live sketch in nineteen ninety seven was a big
deal back then. You remember this almost thirty years ago.
Here's Chris Farley.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I am el Nino.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
All other tropical storms must bow before.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
El Ninoosi and Nino.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
For those of you who don't Tabla espano el nino is.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Spanish for.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I think that explanation works as well as any other.
Chris Farley getting it done. I think that was the
first sketch that Tina Fey ever wrote, and that was
in nineteen ninety seven, which is to say that you
know all of this happening around us. Weather changes every year,
every season. There could be a general trend that many
will point to that there's a warming face that we've
(17:25):
been but we've been told remember this, like every ten years,
the world is going to end in ten years. And
then ten years go by and the world hasn't ended.
And then they kicked the bucket down the road and said, well,
ten years from now, the world's gonna end. Remember Al Gore, well,
climate change and inconvenient truth, I'm going to go around
the world on my private jet, by the way, giving
(17:48):
speeches and lectures about my book and collecting all the
donations that are necessary to fight climate change.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
What a scam, what a.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Graft, what a racket, brilliant, really genius type stuff. Then
they confronted you might remember this, climates are something John
Kerry unto the Biden administration, and they interview him as he's,
you know, coming off his private jet which by the way,
funded provided by his wife Teresa Hines air to the
(18:21):
Hines Ketchup fortune. The reason why my buddy Jason Williams
back in Michigan buys Hunt's ketchup and he just well,
some of us are more important than others, and I
have to go around the world and talk to people
about climate check.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Well, why don't you, Well, it's just not time efficient
for me to take a boat.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Get out of here with your self righteous, hypocritical crap.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I just listened to Chris Farley from now on. That's
what I say. Time out back with your text and more.
Five seven seventy three nine Here on Ryan showing live.
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Much?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Yeah, we're trying to do what we can to help.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
With a name like this, the BG, it's assumed people
are waiting in line for well meat, I got bread here.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
If you need diapers or wipes or anything, we got
a whole wall of supplies.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
The owner, Nick Chees, never thought baby supplies would be
on the menu. His shop started handing out free meat
and egg packages meet the need there for people furloughed
during the shutdown, or for people going without the government
financial aid program SNAP for food. It's just a lot
of people supported the act of kindness. The community donated
almost one hundred thousand dollars online and in person.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Adjacent chops like the Bread Chick have donated their own
food for the Butcher to hand out you.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
ASTs will have excess rolls, excess like French Vegas.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I didn't think it would last this long. I really
thought like people would be an uproar and Congress would.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Fold and Friendly Knicks will for now state a bread, meat,
eggs and baby suppliers.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
I've spent so.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Far about twenty five hundred on diapers and wipes and
formula and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
And that's it's crazy how much more expensive that is.
And the meat we're giving away.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
With food stamps being cut off and everything, we literally
have no food in the house, like at all.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It just my kids are going to be so happy
and just because of them, we.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Get to eat baby diapers at a butcher shot where
like we have a line out the door in the
morning show and Fort Collins.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
We're trying, man, We're just here to help.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Mandy Gilbert nine News, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Amanda Gilbert there for nine News reporting on Friendly Nicks Butcher.
That's Nick Chase in Fort Collins and what a great
service he was providing. They're giving away baby supplies while
benefits were on hold. Truly a pillar of the community
doing what was necessary to step up and help those
in need.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
And so our salute goes out to him.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I've reached out to Nick their clothes it would appear
on Mondays. But for him to appear with Dan Kaplis
hopefully one day this way and talk a little bit
more about that is it looks like the government shutdown
is coming to an end, but to what end? By
the Democrats, much as they tried to pin this on Trump,
the administration, Republicans in the Senate, which again civics lesson
(21:03):
for the day, which goes right over the head of
law degree holding Sonny Austin of the view, I still
can't get over this one.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
If you're just tuning in this, she is worth six million.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Dollars, okay, but she's got a virtue signal here somehow
to Sarah Haynes, and you tell me whether.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
You believe it.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Latly disagree with you, Sonny, for this reason what you
rattled off. The Republicans run the executive branch, the legislative judicial.
According to you, they have all the power right now.
The problem here is it's a privilege to say our
food's not affected, our health insurance, you know, be.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
The people in my family that receives time better.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
I'm not just saying I'm not meaning family. We're all
affected by you know, as we go out. But I'm
saying right here to say it's a privilege that they
don't have healthcare and now they don't have food.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
It is a shame. And Senator Michael Bennett might have.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Eve been saying it's a plaque of disgrace that somebody
worth six million dollars that there would be any member
of her circle, her family, her friends that would be
dependent on SNAP benefits. Where are you at, Sonny? I
thought you cared about people. Republicans were the bad guys,
(22:13):
were evil. We don't care about people. We want kids
to starve. But you're sitting there on your pile of
Scrooge McDuck's six million dollars worth, and you're letting your
family members bey on SNAP.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Please explain that to me, Walk me through that process.
What is going on there?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
The Democrats had a losing hand, but they were committed
to dying on that hill. They were pot committed for
whatever reason, to their far left flank and base. You've
got people like Julie Rajinski saying that Bernie Sanders is
much more in line with where the modern Democratic Party
is than Chuck Schumer. And again Chuck Schumer, not great Bernie.
He is well a Democratic socialist and not a registered Democrat.
(22:57):
He is independent. And again this was on the Democrats.
But for the sixty vote filibuster threshold in the Senate. Sure,
the Republicans would have passed the continuing Resolution, but the
Democrats opposed it and obstructed it. They were trying to
send a message to their flank on the left that
hates Donald Trump. We're going to fight Donald Trump, Okay,
(23:20):
and then what what did you accomplish? What is the
end result of this fighting that you did against the
President of the United States. Only other than air traffic
controllers didn't get paid. Military pay was suspended until Trump
stepped in and found a way to work around that.
(23:41):
Snap benefits were suspended. And now eight Democrats crossover because
they recognized this is a political loser. This has gone
over like a lead balloon, and they still can't figure
this out. They let their Trump arrangement, their hatred for
this man, even Republicans, it's Trump, they let it cloud
(24:03):
their judgment to the point where they hand him victories,
they hand him w's.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
And there's just no way around that.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Listen, here once again, Representative Brendan Doyle, Democrat, Pennsylvania, just
outside of Philadelphia. He's exasperated, and of course so is
Catherine Rample, the so called journalist, asking him the question.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Can you explain how you interpret why this deal came together?
Now a few days after this blowout election where Democrats
seem to be taking a victory lap well literally taking
a victory lap or at least had a.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Victory victories in blue states, the least of which was Virginia,
but even that not a surprise that Abigail Spanberger won
their New York City elects a Democratic socialist borderline communists
for mayor. And you're going to extrapolate that to the
rest of the country. California votes to jerry manders Prop
fifty there, Gavin Newsom is personal project booting out the
(25:04):
Independent Commission that have been voted in on a ballot.
You're going to call that a victory for Democrats that
projects in plays in Peoria.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
It doesn't. None of these elections that took place on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Were what you would consider to be, you know, purple
states on the head of a pen even New Jersey
that governor's race. All of these were expected Democrat wins.
And yeah, the rabid Democratic base that hates Donald Trump, sure,
they're going to buy the whole canard that this is
a Republican shut down and they're going to vote accordingly.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Why now would Democrats in the Senate decide to lay
down their arms, you know, potentially end this shutdown when
the terms that are being offered by Republicans don't seem
to have changed.
Speaker 10 (25:55):
I can't explain it, because, to be frank to me,
it makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I am completely perplexed by today's.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Developments, or really the developments of the last few hours.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
There was no move on the chess board here that
would result in checkmating the Trump administration or Republicans or
the very level headed John Thune who's the Senate majority leader.
He's not a lunatic right wing extremist by any stretch
of the imagination. And they what the deal was when
these eight Democrats and kind of came over along with
(26:28):
John Fetterman, who had been there for some time, was
that there would be a vote on extending these Obamacare
snap benefit subsidies, which were increased during COVID by Biden
and should not have been permanent should have ended, when.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
COVID, when the pandemic, when that ended, Why would those continue?
Because that's what democrats do.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
They start spending, They open up this Pandora's box. They
never close it. They never go back to, you know what,
we spend enough and that's over. We're going to roll
it back to what it was before. No.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
No, this now becomes the expectation.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
They keep moving the goalposts on what they want to
tax and what they want to collect and what they
want to subsidize. On the power, the size, the scope
of government. Bigger, always better for them, always more intrusive,
more involved, making more decisions for the American people, rather
than empowering us to make our own decisions. And that's
(27:26):
what the Democrats are whining about here and the panel
at MSNBC, this is glorious Antonio Antonio rather Hilton leading
the discussion.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
It's strange Dean.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
To go back to the original sort of part of
this conversation of whether he is a good deal maker.
I mean a way, it seems like the president is
kind of getting what he wanted.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Forty days ago, when all this.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Started, he was out there saying that, oh, this is
all about democrats trying to give health care to a
legal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
He just said that to reporters. More ways, Ago repeated
that refrain.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
The Democrats had actually very successfully pushed back.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Again, No, they didn't.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Then there's all this energy.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
In the week of the election.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
On Tuesday, the President made remarks saying basically, wow, Republicans
are being harmed by all of this, acknowledging that he
was on his back foot and now here he is
winning again.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
How do we do it?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
The Democrats, I don't understand how a democratic center goes.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Wow, we weren't really big.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Let me cave now, I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
That makes no sense to me.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
For well, maybe if they're to be, you know, taking point,
if they were a cynecal like, if we wanted just
to hold this out until we get through the election.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
He didn't win really big. That's the whole farce of this.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
They won really big in Democratic strongholds within the crucible,
these bubbles that they exist in. They don't think outside
of these things. They don't even think to think outside
of these things. They don't consult with people with whom
they disagree. What are we doing wrong, Hey, let's bring
in a consultant who sees his clear eyes. And what
(28:53):
are we not getting here about the American people. Either
they don't care very possible, by the way, or they
don't don't get it. They can't understand it, they can't
comprehend it. They look at Tuesday as this was a
watershed moment. Remember we played those clips late last week.
This changes the game. Now we're going to hold out
even longer. And they held out for five more days, and.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Here they go.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
They folded their tents, they folded their hands. Trump wins
because that's what Trump does, because they overplay their hands
against him, and they're bound to do it again because
they're not learning from their mistakes. They don't recognize why
they lost this battle. Speaker Mike Johnson earlier today, I.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
Don't think it's coincidental, you know how I think. But
it's after forty days of wandering in the wilderness and
making the American people suffer needlessly, some senate Democrats finally
have stepped forward to end the pain. It appears to
us this morning that our long national nightmare is finally
coming to an end, and we're grateful for that.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
And that phrase, of course, borrowed from this rather infamous
time in American history. Four years truly was born Michigan born,
not born and raised, but raised in these Grand Rapids.
President sworn in that day, Gerald R. Ford talking about Watergate.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our
constitution works. Our great Republic is a government of laws
and not of men.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Here the people rule.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
And in this case, the Trump Republicans once again proved
victorious on this issue because the Democrats had nowhere to go,
nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide, no victory to claim.
The elections that were, that were, That was a sugar
high on Tuesday. It was short lived. And now here
they are right back where they started. And they cannot
(30:51):
understand how they got there and why.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
But we do.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
And we'll get to more of your tax To close
out the show. Five seven, seven thirty nine, we conclude
this edition of Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
After this.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
The lake it is said, never gives up for did
when skies of November turned bloomy.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
The great Gordon Lightfoot and this iconic song.
Speaker 11 (31:14):
Nordwin is six thousand times more than the Edmond Fitzgerald.
The way empty, that good ship and drew was a
bone to be chewed when the Girls of November game it.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Early and there it is the title of the book
The Gales of November. The press written by Pumacolic.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Of mine, who some mill into Wisconsin, covered Michigan athletics
during the time that I was back home there as well.
That happened fifty years ago today, as Jesse Thomas correctly
points out, November tenth, nineteen seventy five, the storm of
the century through one hundred mile an hour winds and
fifty foot waves on Lake Superior, and the mighty Edmund
(31:57):
Fitzgerald found itself at the worst possible the whole place,
at the worst possible time, and when it sank, took
all twenty nine men on board down with it, leaving
the tragedy shrouded in mystery for half a century. But
doing the journalistic work and compiling this book my good
friend John U. Bacon, and I'm hoping to get him
(32:18):
scheduled on the program in just the next couple of days.
As you might imagine, he's been kind of touring the
state of Michigan with this book entitled The Gales of November,
and today he was at the very launch site of
the Edmund Fitzgerald up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan,
and it's kind of a neat touch too.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
While people showed up.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
And they want to recognize the book that commemorates this event,
and he's talked to the family members, et cetera.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
He didn't want to sign the book that day.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
He thought they'd be disrespectful to the family members of
those who were taken on this day fifty years ago,
the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
So stay tuned, hoping for John you Bacon to join
me Wednesday. That's what we're targeting right now, trying to
schedule that with him.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Your text five seven seven three nine, Ryan, you could
bet your bottom dollar that any donations on the SNAP
program was gone and was from conservatives and not Democrats.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I do know that Dan has taken some heat and
some flak as well as his wife Amy, which I'm
not going to tolerate that.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
You can tack Dan all you want.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I think Dan feels the same way, but she helps
working with food banks, and these are good things for
the community and the SNAP program for as a temporary fix.
You know, this shouldn't be like a way of life.
You shouldn't want it to be a way of life.
This should be if somebody's down on their luck, they
lose their job, they're out of options. Absolutely, we want
not just the government. We want private charities to be
(33:43):
there for people to help in those times of need.
But that should not be a destination. Ran When I
was growing up, the big fear was communism, Steve, you
and me both, I remember it well.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
The Soviet Union. Yeah, not great.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Didn't want to mimic them, but that's what we're getting
and that's where the Democratic Party has drifted off to.
And then finally, Brian, you're so good at mimicking people's voices.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
I love it. You just did a great Jimmy Carter,
keep it up. Thank you. Two thumbs up for that
one and one more good news.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
The Farmer's Almanac is going away, but the original Old
Farmer's Almanac is still alive and going forward
So it hasn't snowjet in Denver's record this on Friday,
October the twenty fourth. So the question a lot you've got,
Why has in snowjet and why do we really have
much on the horizon either? Well, simply put, there's kind
of one main thing that I'm going to highlight as
the main reason why, as in snowjet, and of course
we're a few days past our average first snow, the
main reason being our storm track is simply too far
(00:22):
north right now. But we were to get these storms
another two one hundred and fifty two ore miles south,
we'd be talking about certainly some pretty widespread snow in
the mountains and a pretty good chance of it for
us here in Denver.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
But this is a very classic lin Nina look.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
To this storm track so far this winter season, where
we're seeing the jet stream hopinging across southern Canada the
far northern United States, and that takes those storms with
it up in that region, and first here in Denver,
we get mostly shut out from any real meaningful rain
or snow chances when that storm track is that far north.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
We may get a little wind, the mountains.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
May get a little snow, but here in Denver, we
just don't get those big poles of cold are that
we really need to generate.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
From that snow. Now, there's a couple other factors that
play as well.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
We've had a few storms come on in from the
south and the west, but this time of view, when
we're getting these cut off.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Loads coming in from the south and the west, temperatures
just too warm.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
So I'll highlight three things is why we haven't seen
that snow yet. One storm track too far north. Two,
we're seeing those temperatures that are still too warm. At
number three, it's a bit of a loa ninia vibe.
As I mentioned before, if you're a Denver snow lover,
you probably don't like that either.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Well, if there's one people who does like a La
Nina vibe, it's Jesse Thomas.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
There's and I'll.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Get into the difference between La Nina and El Nino
in just a moment. That was Crispianci nine News weather
forecast or meteorologists of course, explaining why it hadn't snowed
yet in the Denver metro. And that was going back
a couple of fridays now to October twenty fourth, and
here we are Monday, November tenth, and Jesse, last I checked,
we haven't gotten any snow down here, right?
Speaker 4 (01:55):
No?
Speaker 5 (01:56):
Confirmed?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Okay, confirmed, And a lot of people are freaking out,
and you know, typical usual suspects, round them up.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
You got the climate change crowd.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
But I'm looking over here at Fox thirty one covering
the same story and the latest first snow in Denver?
Speaker 5 (02:14):
Can you guess when that was?
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Jesse Thomas just by year latest first snow in.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Denver by the year on record?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Yes, oh man, I'm gonna go too, thousand twelve.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
Pretty close.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
It was, as a matter of fact, just a few
years ago, twenty twenty one, the latest first snow we
ever had in Denver on record.
Speaker 5 (02:36):
Now this goes back to what the.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Late eighteen hundreds and they started keeping these things, so
who knows before then, but December tenth, twenty twenty one
was our latest first snow on record. Now, I'm gonna
go through these because it is to make a point.
The second latest first snow was November twenty first in
nineteen thirty four, over ninety years ago. Third on this
(03:01):
list again, latest first snow in Denver November nineteenth, nineteen
thirty one, then fourth on the list November seventeenth, that
was twenty sixteen, not that long ago, nine years ago.
And then the fifth November sixteenth latest. First snow here
we are it's the tenth that was eighteen ninety four. No,
(03:23):
why do those dates matter? It matter because they're all
over the map. You know this trend that we've been
told about climate change? Right, I for your climate change
and I was I touched on this late last week
with Christian Toto and Jody Calm who was in for
Debora Flora right side of Hollywood. Bill Gates is off
the climate change train. That's shocking in and of itself.
(03:47):
I share largely the opinion that el Rushbow had that
it is a grift. It is a scam. It is
a way to make money on the cheap. It is
a way to gain control over people's lives by inflicting
guilt of them. Well, you're polluting the atmosphere. You need
to buy carbon offset credits. What you can just buy
(04:07):
your way out of the snow. You either polluted or
you didn't. I'm gonna offset that was from carbon credits
and feel better about myself. I am all for clean environment,
clean air, clean water. You know, what happened to Lake
Erie was a debacle. That was you know, when I
was a little kid. You couldn't drink the water that
(04:28):
came out of Lake Erie. You couldn't fish, you couldn't
eat fish. It came out of Lake Erie. It was
very polluted. It was bad, you know. And since then
we do have environmental laws in place, and you know
who had to thank for that in a large part.
The lips are gonna love this, Richard Nixon for starting
(04:49):
the EPA. As ironic as it is, I'm not saying
the climate doesn't change. In fact, that's my point. The
climate does change a lot. What humans have to do
with that, the cause and effect, the long term impact.
We want to stop polluting, I'm not going to say otherwise.
I don't want to, you know, just drain oil into
(05:10):
the ocean. But even then, remember that BP spill in
the Gulf of Mexico and how the aquatic life reacted
to that, and that oil was consumed and the whole
ecosystem renewed itself. That this is a very durable planet.
It's not to say we want to end the planet,
(05:32):
you know, And if you're so concerned about this, is
what I always go to, whether it's John Kerry or
Greta Thugberg or whoever else, Why aren't you going and
protesting in New Delhi, India or Beijing, China.
Speaker 5 (05:44):
These are the two.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Largest polluters on the planet by a lot. We never
hear about them. It's always about Europe or the United States.
My point is, okay, we could do everything everything. Let's
just go down that rabbit. Let's go hug some trees,
Let's be really pro environmental. Let's restrict all oil and
gas to what end? If the Chinese and the government
(06:10):
of India is not on board and they just keep polluting,
it doesn't matter. You keep pouring water into a bucket
that has holes, you're never going to fill it up.
And that's the same concept here unless we're all pulling
in the same direction. And you might be an advocate that, oh,
we got to go after China and India, but they're
not doing it. Why aren't they doing it? The headline
(06:31):
on Fox thirty one is as follows. Denver had nearly
half the average winter's worth of snow during this time
in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
So wait a minute, that was just a year.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Ago, a year ago, we had like half the average
winner's worth of snow at this time one calendar year ago.
But this year we haven't seen snow yet on November tenth?
How did it change so much? Whole climate change? So
how do we know when climate change is no longer
(07:04):
a problem?
Speaker 5 (07:05):
Does it stop changing?
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Do we have just consistently very stable weather, the same weather,
because then it's not changing. But if the climate does change,
which does do here in Colorado, we have change. We
have four seasons here. We have summer, we have fall,
we have winter, we have spring. Some of them are colder,
some of them are warmer. Some of them had a
lot of snow. This one so far no snow. What's
(07:27):
the rhyme or reason? Where's the pattern? Show me mathematically
plotted out? Where is the pattern?
Speaker 5 (07:32):
Here?
Speaker 3 (07:34):
And this again from today Fox thirty one online. Snow
is inching towards some of the latest first snows in
Denver history, but this time last year, the city already
had nearly half the average winter's worth of snow. As
of November tenth, that's today, Denver still hasn't seen any
snow this year, which is fairly unusual, as the average
first snow in the city is Around October eighteenth, Nonver
(07:56):
is now heading toward one of the top latest first
snowfalls in the city's history. But again by this time
in twenty twenty four, the weather was quite different. The
first measurable snowfall in Denver in twenty twenty four started
fairly late, after a hot summer and hot fall climate change.
The first snow came late and fell on November five,
twenty twenty four, but over the next few days the
(08:20):
snow didn't stop. Between November fifth and November ninth, Denver
saw twenty inches of snow, a little less than two
feet of snow in the city. I remember that during
the storm last year November sixth, twenty twenty four, there
was only a high of thirty degrees and Denver spent
more than twenty four hours below freezing at this point
(08:41):
last year, this massive first snowstorm left Denver with half
the average winters worth of snow before November.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
Tenth of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
In total, the snowstorm left November is one of the
snowy east in history. Now, one year later, the city
is dry and in the seventies climate change global warning
with Denver still hitting the seventies. In November, Fox thirty
one has pinpoint weather meteorologists Trevi's Michaels believes twenty twenty
(09:10):
five could have one of the latest snows in Denver history,
with the first snow expected to land in late November.
Speaker 5 (09:17):
There are still no signs of snow on November tenth.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Leaving Denver twenty inches off from the snowfall in about
forty degrees warmer than around this time last year.
Speaker 5 (09:25):
What does this all add up to.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
It's weather. They call it weather for a reason. We
have weather forecasts for a reason. Weather changes. Sometimes it's hot,
sometimes it's warm. Some winners are cooler, somewheers are warmer.
Now a lot of people are saying, well, the winners,
on average, they're getting gradually warmer. Okay, even if I
allow for that, and I will, if you were to
track before meteorology became like a thing, which is mid
(09:49):
to late eighteen hundreds, they start measuring, you know, barometric pressure,
total amounts of rainfall, snowfall, record temperatures, you know, instead
of just the farmer's Almanac, which I have read some
where that's going out of print, and that's a sad thing.
But what human caused the ice age. A human element
(10:09):
was a factor in the ice age happening at all, Well,
there wasn't one, so that was a lot of global
cooling at that point.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
What happened to the planet? Wait, we didn't have anything
to do with that.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
And then there was the mass extinction event that killed
all the dinosaurs.
Speaker 5 (10:24):
What did humans have to do with that? Well?
Speaker 3 (10:28):
Nothing, nothing, There's nothing we could do. This goes back
to the whole COVID protocol. Stand six feet apart, wear
a mask, get the shots. You got to care about
your neighbor. You know, if we are we're all in
this together. We just got to do something. We got
to do something. I wear a mask. I feel like
I'm doing something. Folks, there are some things you can't
do anything about. And if there's another cataclysmic event like
(10:50):
that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, we're all gonners
and it's over and there's nothing we can do. You
might want to be able to do something, but a
lot of people out there can't accept the fact that
there are things that are beyond our control and also
beyond our realm of understanding. We are insignificant in the universe,
and I know you don't want to hear that, but
(11:11):
that's just a simple fact of the matter. We are
speca dust in the history of the universe. You know,
we're here and we're gone, and you know it's not
even a blink in the eye of the greater history
of the universe. So and like with COVID, there are
certain aspects about that that we.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Couldn't know, We couldn't control. Bad things are going to happen.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Sometimes you can't prevent bad things from happening, and that
scares people because we want to feel like we have
control over our lives, over the environment, over weather, over
what happens to this planet. Did the degree that we're able,
we should, you know, live a clean lifestyle. I'm all
for cars that get better gas mileage, but not at
the expense of pummeling the consumer and making the cost
(11:56):
of living, including right here in Colorado skyrot. While other
parts of the world they're blissfully unaware or they don't
care and they're not participating in this whole exercise five seven, seven,
three nine. You can send those texts along. Ryan next
should be talking about contrails.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
No.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I always say I would believe in climate change when
the liberals quit buying beach houses. Correct, look at prisident Obama,
where does your own property? Absolutely true, it's not that
I'm saying we pollution isn't bad.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
It is bad.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
We don't want to purposefully make the environment dirtier. Do
what you can, you know, recycle if that makes you
feel better. Even Michael Brown though he said they.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
Don't really recycle ron They throw that stuff away and.
Speaker 3 (12:47):
What they do with it once it leaves my apartment,
I don't have any control over. I'm doing my part.
I feel like I'm doing my part. I'm trying to
be the good.
Speaker 5 (12:52):
Guy here.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
More tax five seven seven three nine, Ryan, I absolutely
admire Bernie your guest. Yes, Bernie Lake who joined us
an hour ago. She needs to visit all of the
Colorado counties gop chairs and talk to all the people.
What a fantastic person. Thank you again, Ryan, always love
your show. I always love you listening. And yeah, Bernie
is fantastic. And this is what we got to do,
(13:16):
and this is what we're talking about with the Fort
Collins event coming up. Is that the only way we're
going to make headway in this state and win back
hearts and minds. Is to campaign and stand fast on
the issues where we have the winning hand, and one
of those is not transing the kids, not cutting off
(13:37):
their body parts.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
That would be one aspect of it.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Another would be rallying on behalf of free speech, and
that we are not the fascist that the left chooses
to call us, but they are the neo fascists who
cannot tolerate dissent and will not allow it on their campus.
Is because speech is violence to them, words are violence
(14:01):
to them. They feel how they feel matters, it dictates
their policy.
Speaker 5 (14:06):
They feel threatened.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
The queer people on campus and Durango there at Fort
Lewis College feel threatened.
Speaker 5 (14:13):
What I mean, it's more than a feeling.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
That's what Boston said, and they're right because it has
to be more than that to dictate policy just because
somebody's speech makes you feel uncomfortable. That's the point of
being on a college campus, of engaging in that debate,
of winning hearts and minds, of competing in the arena
of ideas. You don't just get to win by default
because you feel like you're right or you have the
(14:38):
moral high ground. You have to be able to defend
your ideas, and one of those is on climate change,
which that in and of itself was a word game
or weillian because when I was growing up, it was
global warning. And even before global warming in the seventies,
Leonard Nimoy did a special on wait for it, global cooling.
(15:02):
That was the seventies. Things were getting colder.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
You know. President Carter was telling us to put on another.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Sweat because we can't afford to have more heat in
our homes and a lot of FI so just put
on another layer of clothes.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
No, that's America.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
So we began the segment hearing from Crispyong nine News
and it seems like a good guy who was explaining,
you know, this is El Nino, it's La Nina.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
I mean have heard those terms. El Nino.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Southern oscillation is a global climate phenomenon.
Speaker 5 (15:33):
This is from Wikipedia, So take it with a grain
of salt.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
That emerges from variation in winds and sea surface temperatures
over the tropical Pacific Ocean. Those variations have an irregular pattern,
but do have some semblance of cycles.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
The occurrence of al Nino is not predictable.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
It affects the climate of much of the tropics and
subtropics and has links to higher latitude regions of the world.
The warming phase of the sea surf temperature is known
as El Nino, and the cooling phase that is Lan Nina.
The southern oscillation is the accompanying atmospheric oscillation which is
(16:12):
coupled with the sea temperature change. So what Chris Bianchi
was talking about in his report as to why it
hasn't snowed yet in the Denver Metro was La Nina,
And as I just went over, that's the cooling phase
of this entire operation.
Speaker 5 (16:27):
El Nino would be the warming phase.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
El Nino would also be well explained by this Saturday
Night Live sketch in nineteen ninety seven was a big
deal back then. You remember this almost thirty years ago.
Here's Chris Farley.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I am el Nino.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
All other tropical storms must bow before.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
El Ninoosi and Nino.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
For those of you who don't Tabla espano el nino is.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
Spanish for.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I think that explanation works as well as any other.
Chris Farley getting it done. I think that was the
first sketch that Tina Fey ever wrote, and that was
in nineteen ninety seven, which is to say that you
know all of this happening around us. Weather changes every year,
every season. There could be a general trend that many
will point to that there's a warming face that we've
(17:25):
been but we've been told remember this, like every ten years,
the world is going to end in ten years. And
then ten years go by and the world hasn't ended.
And then they kicked the bucket down the road and said, well,
ten years from now, the world's gonna end. Remember Al Gore, well,
climate change and inconvenient truth, I'm going to go around
the world on my private jet, by the way, giving
(17:48):
speeches and lectures about my book and collecting all the
donations that are necessary to fight climate change.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
What a scam, what a.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Graft, what a racket, brilliant, really genius type stuff. Then
they confronted you might remember this, climates are something John
Kerry unto the Biden administration, and they interview him as he's,
you know, coming off his private jet which by the way,
funded provided by his wife Teresa Hines air to the
(18:21):
Hines Ketchup fortune. The reason why my buddy Jason Williams
back in Michigan buys Hunt's ketchup and he just well,
some of us are more important than others, and I
have to go around the world and talk to people
about climate check.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
Well, why don't you, Well, it's just not time efficient
for me to take a boat.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
Get out of here with your self righteous, hypocritical crap.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
I just listened to Chris Farley from now on. That's
what I say. Time out back with your text and more.
Five seven seventy three nine Here on Ryan showing live.
How you doing.
Speaker 3 (18:59):
Much?
Speaker 5 (19:00):
Yeah, we're trying to do what we can to help.
Speaker 6 (19:02):
With a name like this, the BG, it's assumed people
are waiting in line for well meat, I got bread here.
Speaker 5 (19:08):
If you need diapers or wipes or anything, we got
a whole wall of supplies.
Speaker 6 (19:11):
The owner, Nick Chees, never thought baby supplies would be
on the menu. His shop started handing out free meat
and egg packages meet the need there for people furloughed
during the shutdown, or for people going without the government
financial aid program SNAP for food. It's just a lot
of people supported the act of kindness. The community donated
almost one hundred thousand dollars online and in person.
Speaker 7 (19:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Adjacent chops like the Bread Chick have donated their own
food for the Butcher to hand out you.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
ASTs will have excess rolls, excess like French Vegas.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
I didn't think it would last this long. I really
thought like people would be an uproar and Congress would.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Fold and Friendly Knicks will for now state a bread, meat,
eggs and baby suppliers.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
I've spent so.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Far about twenty five hundred on diapers and wipes and
formula and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
And that's it's crazy how much more expensive that is.
And the meat we're giving away.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
With food stamps being cut off and everything, we literally
have no food in the house, like at all.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
It just my kids are going to be so happy
and just because of them, we.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
Get to eat baby diapers at a butcher shot where
like we have a line out the door in the
morning show and Fort Collins.
Speaker 5 (20:17):
We're trying, man, We're just here to help.
Speaker 6 (20:18):
Mandy Gilbert nine News, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Amanda Gilbert there for nine News reporting on Friendly Nicks Butcher.
That's Nick Chase in Fort Collins and what a great
service he was providing. They're giving away baby supplies while
benefits were on hold. Truly a pillar of the community
doing what was necessary to step up and help those
in need.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
And so our salute goes out to him.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
I've reached out to Nick their clothes it would appear
on Mondays. But for him to appear with Dan Kaplis
hopefully one day this way and talk a little bit
more about that is it looks like the government shutdown
is coming to an end, but to what end? By
the Democrats, much as they tried to pin this on Trump,
the administration, Republicans in the Senate, which again civics lesson
(21:03):
for the day, which goes right over the head of
law degree holding Sonny Austin of the view, I still
can't get over this one.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
If you're just tuning in this, she is worth six million.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Dollars, okay, but she's got a virtue signal here somehow
to Sarah Haynes, and you tell me whether.
Speaker 5 (21:21):
You believe it.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Latly disagree with you, Sonny, for this reason what you
rattled off. The Republicans run the executive branch, the legislative judicial.
According to you, they have all the power right now.
The problem here is it's a privilege to say our
food's not affected, our health insurance, you know, be.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
The people in my family that receives time better.
Speaker 9 (21:40):
I'm not just saying I'm not meaning family. We're all
affected by you know, as we go out. But I'm
saying right here to say it's a privilege that they
don't have healthcare and now they don't have food.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
It is a shame. And Senator Michael Bennett might have.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Eve been saying it's a plaque of disgrace that somebody
worth six million dollars that there would be any member
of her circle, her family, her friends that would be
dependent on SNAP benefits. Where are you at, Sonny? I
thought you cared about people. Republicans were the bad guys,
(22:13):
were evil. We don't care about people. We want kids
to starve. But you're sitting there on your pile of
Scrooge McDuck's six million dollars worth, and you're letting your
family members bey on SNAP.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Please explain that to me, Walk me through that process.
What is going on there?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
The Democrats had a losing hand, but they were committed
to dying on that hill. They were pot committed for
whatever reason, to their far left flank and base. You've
got people like Julie Rajinski saying that Bernie Sanders is
much more in line with where the modern Democratic Party
is than Chuck Schumer. And again Chuck Schumer, not great Bernie.
He is well a Democratic socialist and not a registered Democrat.
(22:57):
He is independent. And again this was on the Democrats.
But for the sixty vote filibuster threshold in the Senate. Sure,
the Republicans would have passed the continuing Resolution, but the
Democrats opposed it and obstructed it. They were trying to
send a message to their flank on the left that
hates Donald Trump. We're going to fight Donald Trump, Okay,
(23:20):
and then what what did you accomplish? What is the
end result of this fighting that you did against the
President of the United States. Only other than air traffic
controllers didn't get paid. Military pay was suspended until Trump
stepped in and found a way to work around that.
(23:41):
Snap benefits were suspended. And now eight Democrats crossover because
they recognized this is a political loser. This has gone
over like a lead balloon, and they still can't figure
this out. They let their Trump arrangement, their hatred for
this man, even Republicans, it's Trump, they let it cloud
(24:03):
their judgment to the point where they hand him victories,
they hand him w's.
Speaker 5 (24:10):
And there's just no way around that.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Listen, here once again, Representative Brendan Doyle, Democrat, Pennsylvania, just
outside of Philadelphia. He's exasperated, and of course so is
Catherine Rample, the so called journalist, asking him the question.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
Can you explain how you interpret why this deal came together?
Now a few days after this blowout election where Democrats
seem to be taking a victory lap well literally taking
a victory lap or at least had a.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Victory victories in blue states, the least of which was Virginia,
but even that not a surprise that Abigail Spanberger won
their New York City elects a Democratic socialist borderline communists
for mayor. And you're going to extrapolate that to the
rest of the country. California votes to jerry manders Prop
fifty there, Gavin Newsom is personal project booting out the
(25:04):
Independent Commission that have been voted in on a ballot.
You're going to call that a victory for Democrats that
projects in plays in Peoria.
Speaker 5 (25:12):
It doesn't. None of these elections that took place on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (25:17):
Were what you would consider to be, you know, purple
states on the head of a pen even New Jersey
that governor's race. All of these were expected Democrat wins.
And yeah, the rabid Democratic base that hates Donald Trump, sure,
they're going to buy the whole canard that this is
a Republican shut down and they're going to vote accordingly.
Speaker 8 (25:38):
Why now would Democrats in the Senate decide to lay
down their arms, you know, potentially end this shutdown when
the terms that are being offered by Republicans don't seem
to have changed.
Speaker 10 (25:55):
I can't explain it, because, to be frank to me,
it makes absolutely no sense.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I am completely perplexed by today's.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
Developments, or really the developments of the last few hours.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
There was no move on the chess board here that
would result in checkmating the Trump administration or Republicans or
the very level headed John Thune who's the Senate majority leader.
He's not a lunatic right wing extremist by any stretch
of the imagination. And they what the deal was when
these eight Democrats and kind of came over along with
(26:28):
John Fetterman, who had been there for some time, was
that there would be a vote on extending these Obamacare
snap benefit subsidies, which were increased during COVID by Biden
and should not have been permanent should have ended, when.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
COVID, when the pandemic, when that ended, Why would those continue?
Because that's what democrats do.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
They start spending, They open up this Pandora's box. They
never close it. They never go back to, you know what,
we spend enough and that's over. We're going to roll
it back to what it was before. No.
Speaker 5 (27:02):
No, this now becomes the expectation.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
They keep moving the goalposts on what they want to
tax and what they want to collect and what they
want to subsidize. On the power, the size, the scope
of government. Bigger, always better for them, always more intrusive,
more involved, making more decisions for the American people, rather
than empowering us to make our own decisions. And that's
(27:26):
what the Democrats are whining about here and the panel
at MSNBC, this is glorious Antonio Antonio rather Hilton leading
the discussion.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
It's strange Dean.
Speaker 4 (27:38):
To go back to the original sort of part of
this conversation of whether he is a good deal maker.
I mean a way, it seems like the president is
kind of getting what he wanted.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Forty days ago, when all this.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
Started, he was out there saying that, oh, this is
all about democrats trying to give health care to a
legal immigrants.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
He just said that to reporters. More ways, Ago repeated
that refrain.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
The Democrats had actually very successfully pushed back.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
Again, No, they didn't.
Speaker 4 (28:00):
Then there's all this energy.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
In the week of the election.
Speaker 4 (28:03):
On Tuesday, the President made remarks saying basically, wow, Republicans
are being harmed by all of this, acknowledging that he
was on his back foot and now here he is
winning again.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
How do we do it?
Speaker 1 (28:16):
The Democrats, I don't understand how a democratic center goes.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Wow, we weren't really big.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Let me cave now, I don't understand.
Speaker 5 (28:22):
That makes no sense to me.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
For well, maybe if they're to be, you know, taking point,
if they were a cynecal like, if we wanted just
to hold this out until we get through the election.
Speaker 5 (28:29):
He didn't win really big. That's the whole farce of this.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
They won really big in Democratic strongholds within the crucible,
these bubbles that they exist in. They don't think outside
of these things. They don't even think to think outside
of these things. They don't consult with people with whom
they disagree. What are we doing wrong, Hey, let's bring
in a consultant who sees his clear eyes. And what
(28:53):
are we not getting here about the American people. Either
they don't care very possible, by the way, or they
don't don't get it. They can't understand it, they can't
comprehend it. They look at Tuesday as this was a
watershed moment. Remember we played those clips late last week.
This changes the game. Now we're going to hold out
even longer. And they held out for five more days, and.
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Here they go.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
They folded their tents, they folded their hands. Trump wins
because that's what Trump does, because they overplay their hands
against him, and they're bound to do it again because
they're not learning from their mistakes. They don't recognize why
they lost this battle. Speaker Mike Johnson earlier today, I.
Speaker 10 (29:35):
Don't think it's coincidental, you know how I think. But
it's after forty days of wandering in the wilderness and
making the American people suffer needlessly, some senate Democrats finally
have stepped forward to end the pain. It appears to
us this morning that our long national nightmare is finally
coming to an end, and we're grateful for that.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
And that phrase, of course, borrowed from this rather infamous
time in American history. Four years truly was born Michigan born,
not born and raised, but raised in these Grand Rapids.
President sworn in that day, Gerald R. Ford talking about Watergate.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over. Our
constitution works. Our great Republic is a government of laws
and not of men.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Here the people rule.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
And in this case, the Trump Republicans once again proved
victorious on this issue because the Democrats had nowhere to go,
nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide, no victory to claim.
The elections that were, that were, That was a sugar
high on Tuesday. It was short lived. And now here
they are right back where they started. And they cannot
(30:51):
understand how they got there and why.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
But we do.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
And we'll get to more of your tax To close
out the show. Five seven, seven thirty nine, we conclude
this edition of Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
After this.
Speaker 11 (31:03):
The lake it is said, never gives up for did
when skies of November turned bloomy.
Speaker 5 (31:10):
The great Gordon Lightfoot and this iconic song.
Speaker 11 (31:14):
Nordwin is six thousand times more than the Edmond Fitzgerald.
The way empty, that good ship and drew was a
bone to be chewed when the Girls of November game it.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
Early and there it is the title of the book
The Gales of November. The press written by Pumacolic.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Of mine, who some mill into Wisconsin, covered Michigan athletics
during the time that I was back home there as well.
That happened fifty years ago today, as Jesse Thomas correctly
points out, November tenth, nineteen seventy five, the storm of
the century through one hundred mile an hour winds and
fifty foot waves on Lake Superior, and the mighty Edmund
(31:57):
Fitzgerald found itself at the worst possible the whole place,
at the worst possible time, and when it sank, took
all twenty nine men on board down with it, leaving
the tragedy shrouded in mystery for half a century. But
doing the journalistic work and compiling this book my good
friend John U. Bacon, and I'm hoping to get him
(32:18):
scheduled on the program in just the next couple of days.
As you might imagine, he's been kind of touring the
state of Michigan with this book entitled The Gales of November,
and today he was at the very launch site of
the Edmund Fitzgerald up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan,
and it's kind of a neat touch too.
Speaker 5 (32:36):
While people showed up.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
And they want to recognize the book that commemorates this event,
and he's talked to the family members, et cetera.
Speaker 5 (32:44):
He didn't want to sign the book that day.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
He thought they'd be disrespectful to the family members of
those who were taken on this day fifty years ago,
the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Speaker 5 (32:53):
So stay tuned, hoping for John you Bacon to join
me Wednesday. That's what we're targeting right now, trying to
schedule that with him.
Speaker 3 (33:02):
Your text five seven seven three nine, Ryan, you could
bet your bottom dollar that any donations on the SNAP
program was gone and was from conservatives and not Democrats.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
I don't know that.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
I do know that Dan has taken some heat and
some flak as well as his wife Amy, which I'm
not going to tolerate that.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
You can tack Dan all you want.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I think Dan feels the same way, but she helps
working with food banks, and these are good things for
the community and the SNAP program for as a temporary fix.
You know, this shouldn't be like a way of life.
You shouldn't want it to be a way of life.
This should be if somebody's down on their luck, they
lose their job, they're out of options. Absolutely, we want
not just the government. We want private charities to be
(33:43):
there for people to help in those times of need.
But that should not be a destination. Ran When I
was growing up, the big fear was communism, Steve, you
and me both, I remember it well.
Speaker 5 (33:53):
The Soviet Union. Yeah, not great.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Didn't want to mimic them, but that's what we're getting
and that's where the Democratic Party has drifted off to.
And then finally, Brian, you're so good at mimicking people's voices.
Speaker 5 (34:03):
I love it. You just did a great Jimmy Carter,
keep it up. Thank you. Two thumbs up for that
one and one more good news.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
The Farmer's Almanac is going away, but the original Old
Farmer's Almanac is still alive and going forward

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
