Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Michael and Jaggons. This is your favorite jew
uber and you know, as you guys know, I'm Russian Jew,
and you know my Russian family. The Russian community here
in Denver pretty much was that across the United States.
Are well, if there were more than happy assimilates and

(00:22):
nice you know to America. We love America and we
appreciate what it gives us. But yet we still practice
that religion.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
Yeah, a similar assimilation doesn't mean that you give up everything.
Assimilation means that you agree to our mores, our standards,
our our cynic duties, our you know, our rule of law,
the constitutional framework by which we live in this society, and.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yet you still practice your religion.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
But remember you're practicing a religion. I've only studied Islam
enough to know that while we tend to couch it
as a religion, it actually is a theocratic order.

Speaker 4 (01:13):
It is a.

Speaker 2 (01:16):
It's a civil society, if you will, it would be
as if look, for example, I think the Golden you know,
the ten Commandments and the Golden Rule and the basic
tenets of christiendom is a really good way to live
your life. And many of those Judaeo Christian ethics and

(01:40):
Judaeo Christian tenants are part of what is incorporated into
our constitution. So I understand there's a little cross over there,
But you can be an atheist and be assimilated into
this country. I think, although I don't have empirical data

(02:01):
to tell you that how many do or do not.
I think that Muslims who understand the difference between what
they're the religious aspects of their beliefs are versus those
that are theocratic or civil in nature, that ours takes priority.

(02:23):
And I'm not sure they understand that. Quite Frankly, I
don't think Americans understand that Islam is actually a civil
structure more than it is religion, in my opinion, that's
my opinion.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
A lot of stuff.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Happened over the days or the Thanksgiving holidays. Let's go
to Portland for a minute, because they've updated the new
Speak dictionary. Now, if you're new to the program, you
don't know what the New Speak Dictionary is, you need
to go to or what George Orwell's nineteen eighty four
or you know, or Animal Farm or any of them

(02:58):
and learn about Newspeak. Well, today we learned that the
term Christmas tree has been deleted. Now when I first
I almost didn't dig into this story.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Because I thought, I don't want to go down this.
We're out again of you know, Merry.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Christmas, Happy Holidays, blah blah blah blah, Happy Honica. Then
you go happy Quans or whatever. I know, not an
end of it. No, this is a little different. Until
Christmas probably has been completely abolished, such trees will henceforth
be referred to as simply trees. You can't make this

(03:37):
stuff up. This comes to us from the New York Post.
As thousands gathered in Pioneer Courthouse Square for the Oregon
city's forty first annual tree lighting on Friday night, leaders
and speakers avoided mentioning Christmas at any point, including the
ceremony itself and the events advertisements. The festive occasion was

(03:57):
kicked off with a woman from the Confederated Tribes of
War Warm Springs thanking everybody in the crowd for coming
out on Native American Heritage Day. So what you do?
You let the Native American Heritage tree?

Speaker 3 (04:10):
What? What?

Speaker 2 (04:11):
And which Native Americans? Because are we are we gonna
break up the tribes? We got the five civilized tribes
and then you got you know the you got the Commans,
Commanches and the Apaches and you know the tause Pueblins
and all the others.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Were what about it? Are we gonna love them all together?

Speaker 5 (04:31):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Are we just Oh, they're just all Indians, They're all
the same. So what we're gonna say? How racist would
that be? I mean, it's just stupid. Now there's a
holiday that the wolksters. I guess they'll celebrate this with
enthusiasm instead of while, you know, holding their noses like
they do when Christmas comes around again. New York posts
draped in a Palestinian flag. Another featured speaker used her

(04:56):
stage time to lead the crowd in a free pas
hellestin chant.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
Dad, you can't make it up.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Those I think who have opened a Bible will note
that calling for the eradication of Jews from Israel, to
put it mildly, probably isn't christian. But where moonbats and
dumbasses hold sway, well, Christmas is not about Christianity. It's
about the dumb assery. And anybody that doubts that blacks
now are opposed, well you can be reminded how expensive

(05:29):
it can be to celebrate Kwanza the race based pseudo
holiday contrived to compete with Christmas Worthly. You can go
to worthy dot com list a few of the ways
that it can dig celebrates deeper into debt. You can
import authentic can Era k I n A r A

(05:53):
from overseas. You can host lavish Karama feasts with catered menus,
printing personalized quansa greeting cards in bulk, buying seven separate
sets of candles for each principle, purchasing input of African
artifacts as authentic decor, commissioning custom African attire for one
time use by an exclusive quantz of theme jewelry, paying

(06:16):
for custom quansa theine wrapping paper for gifts, commissioning oversized
QUANSA banners and billboards, and hiring professional performers for principal readings.
You can go look for yourself for the pricing details.
Afro Centric dumbassies are I guess just they're They're reassured
that the future democrat regime will probably discover it as a

(06:38):
human right to force other people to pick up your
quanta costs now a Canira. That's the Quansa version of
a Minora. The first one was created by breaking holders
off the Menora Oh. In that special now, a candle
is burned for each of the seven principles listed by

(06:59):
Ron McKinley. Ever, Milana Karinga, the Marxist gunbag, convicted of
torturing women who invented kwanza and so I noticed earlier
these principles were the same as those as the Simbinese
Liberation Army. What are they best known for? Kidnapping? Brainwashing?
Patty Hurst, happy Kwansa.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
Everybody, Mike, I know you really don't care about this,
but after last week, I really really really appreciate Dragon
the whole producing thing.

Speaker 5 (07:32):
You know, she just does it well.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Thanks Mom. Just so you know, boy, I just can't
believe I'm gonna say this.

Speaker 5 (07:47):
How God.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Turn turn whatever you turn off? Back there, turn it off.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
I told him, not during this last break, but the
previous break, how much I really uh appreciate him.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
Don't worry. Never heard you?

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Okay, good, we got through. We got through last week.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
We all three days of we stumbled and bumbled a
little bit that we made it through. And I'm telling you,
Zach and Grant did.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
The best they could.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
But they're no Dragon red Beard.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
I get a little bit of a sore throat today.

Speaker 5 (08:31):
Yeah it sounds like.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
Yeah, I got a turkey leg in my throat.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
So you can guess what there's enough of that, because
you know, I really don't want to waste any valuable
radio time talking about dragon red beard and good grief.
You can probably guess what happens to students at you know,
a public university when they failed to bark out the
mandatory dumbassy regarding the transsexual psyche.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
And I look, call.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
Me whatever you want to call me, but I truly
believe that it is a psychosis. Well, guess what happens
if you don't conform to the orthodoxy regarding transsexualism. You
get a failing grade. Sometimes, however, the students push back.
I to be friend of mine, and Oklahoma told me

(09:24):
about this. An Oklahoma University class assignment on gender stereotypes
sparked controversy after student Samantha Flanecki flunked her essay and then.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Filed a discrimination complaint.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Now, Fanecki holds that she was punished because of her
religious beliefs. The psychology class was taught by a transgender graduate.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Student, Mal curse Hello mal who uses she?

Speaker 2 (09:56):
They pronouns The prompt asked students to write about, quote
how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender. Now,
Filnicki's response was biblically influenced. It did not reflect the
required support for transgender ideology. She made some really disobedient

(10:21):
observations like this one quote, society pushing to lie that
there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they
want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth.
Wrong answer, now check wrong. Can't say that. She proclaimed

(10:45):
her viewpoint to be the professor did you know? I
shouldn't say professor. The graduate assistant proclaimed her viewpoint to
be quote highly offensive because transsexuals are sacred in their
liberal religion because they are a minoritized population. Now, when

(11:07):
I first read that part, I thought, waitmen, you can
be transactual and you can be whatever religion you want
to be because of God's grace you will. You know,
you can still be a if you consider it a sin,
you can still be that sinner and God still loves you.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
But that's not no.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
It was that their viewpoint is the liberal religion. Their
viewpoint is that they are a minoritized population and therefore
they should be accorded all of these not just the
same rights as you and me, but extraordinary rights. The
University of Oklahoma issued a statement on x confirming that

(11:48):
a quote graduate student in structure close quote had since
been placed on administrative leave while administrators review the student's
discrimination complaint. Yeah trust me on this, homie is not California.
Well I well not, you know, doubt would have been
promptly expelled. And at least here, oh you is at
least looking at and trying to decide whether or not

(12:11):
maybe we got this backwards.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Hey dragon, I was gonna call in this morning and say,
welcome back from vacation, Like the lady said, we definitely
missed you last week. But uh, room around the street
is you were out cheating on us goobers with another
radio station.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
What say you?

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (12:32):
What say you? I say, sure it was, Yeah you were,
weren't you? Was it fun?

Speaker 7 (12:36):
Yeah? Blake Rando bicycle. You've done it for I was
down there for about a decade or so, and now
just got asked said.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
Hey, you know, are you doing it again today for tomorrow?

Speaker 7 (12:49):
Huh?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
Are you doing it again today for tomorrow? You're doing
it's playing today?

Speaker 3 (12:54):
Right?

Speaker 5 (12:55):
What are you talking about Michael.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
You're such as total ass.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
You're on air right now downstairs, right I'm on here,
right here, here with you, right now, and you were.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Maybe maybe you're not now because it's late, but earlier
this morning you were on air downstairs.

Speaker 7 (13:12):
The shift I was filling in for last week was Susie.
She just nine to two three three, you know, it
was so three. It was till three o'clock, but so.
And then Thursday and Friday, you know, Thanksgiving in the
day after, I was actually on for Rick and Kathy
this year that used to be on.

Speaker 2 (13:30):
Here right all right, But I thought you told me
earlier today what.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
Everybody knows the secret of radio.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
No, they don't.

Speaker 7 (13:43):
Even members of my family were confused, like, wait, what
are you doing here?

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Well, that's like my mom, you know. I told her
I was changing stations. Were you in tar We're moving
to exactly about thirty feet thirty feet? So I thought
I would end what's been you know, a eight Thanksgiving
for me because I didn't have to see Dragon, got
to see my brother and his kids and my kids
and stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
It was he was a good time. And then I
came in.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
You know, full board today so let's end this glorious,
you know, pi field pie filled week and the the
really tough stories I brought with you, brought to you
this morning, and let's do it again. Let's let's first

(14:29):
I freely admit that I don't pay a lot of
attention to Facebook, and I know that I have a
private group. You can join this private group, and if
you're on the list to get into that private group
on Facebook called Michael Brown Unplugged, then I apologize. I'll
try to get to it, you know, today, tomorrow, sometime

(14:51):
this week, and get your request to join the group
approve and get you in there. I don't honestly pay
a lot of attention to it. I'm too focused on
show prep and X and just other things in my life.
But this weekend I started going through it. I would
humbly request everybody to check your sources. I just randomly

(15:19):
saw a few things, like, you know, you have people
put a meme up and it will have let's say,
you know, there'll be a picture of Dragon red Beard,
and then next two it will be a quote. Well,
there might have been some from Thomas Soul, There may
have been some from George Washington. There may have been
some from you know, different people that I looked at,

(15:40):
and I thought, that just doesn't I don't think that
it didn't sound right.

Speaker 3 (15:46):
So I would research to find did.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
George Washington or Thomas Soul or Dragon Red Beard ever
say the following or anything close to it or anything
that would resemble it? Did they ever out of those
same words in a different order? And I swear the
first four or five that I checked were just false.

(16:13):
So I deleted those posts, and one person in particular,
who may be listening to the program right now, I
don't know, I don't care, had posted several.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
Of them, like four or five of them.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
So I gave him a warning and just said, you know,
I'm going to kick you out of the group if
you keep doing it. People, I think when things are
clearly fake and we ought to be learning now, and
if you're not, then sit down with your teenager and
have your teenager help you learn how to distinguish those

(16:46):
things which are original and true and those things which
are clearly fake and generated by artificial intelligence. And I know,
I know many of you do. Don't get me wrong.
I hope I'm preaching to a minority here, because I
love the entire audience.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
But please, please, please please.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Check for accuracy before you post, because I get enough
of that kind of crap elsewhere, and it's just, you know,
there's a there's there's a young black man. He's from
where CJ from. I forget whether the CJ is from
North South Carolina, but I was first introduced to CJ
oh I don't know. It's probably been at least five

(17:24):
years ago, and he has a page. I'm not sure
that it's verified, but I'm always seeing things posted by
t by CJ, and I I've just quit doing it.
But for a while I would look like I can't
believe CJ posted that, so I would look and sure enough,
it's been posted by somebody else. It was just blatantly false.

(17:47):
And I sent CJ a text message one time, I said,
you need you know. I'm bad about this too, but
we need to really watch Facebook because there's so much
false crap filling those feeds.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Our whole world is going to be filled up with
that kind of crap. Sun.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
I think it seems inevitable. I think the government is
frankly powerless to stop it. I do think that this
is one situation when it comes to artificial intelligence because
we are you know, I listened to one, you know,
there's a certain international podcast that I listened to quite frequently,
and I was listening to it over the weekend, and
it was talking about the advancements that have been made

(18:28):
on the battlefield, particularly in the Ukraine Russian War, and
a lot of that is being fueled by artificial intelligence
out of China, which is being used by the Ruskies
to attack the Ukrainians. And the more I listened and
study to what they were talking about, I came to
the conclusion that when it comes to regulation of artificial intelligence,

(18:50):
that needs to be down to the federal level. And
all these little states that are trying to, you know,
kind of hone in on the regulations, so they they want,
you know, they all want to exercise there's a little power.
I don't think so. I think AI is a national
security issue and it needs to be regulated by the
federal government. However that turns out, I don't know, But

(19:11):
I don't think that we need to have fifty seven
states doing it. We all to have one national government
doing it. And that's pranked because I don't think we
can stop it and just need to be regulated to
some degree. The corporations that are developing those tools I
think in some cases are doing so in a very
irresponsible manner that only fails to police all the fakery,
but actually is encouraging the fakery. It's all being done

(19:33):
for profit, which I'm not against profit, Don't get me wrong.
This is nuanced. I'm all for the free marketing and
making a profit. But a lot of this AI involves
national security. And as the images generated by AI become
increasingly indistinguishable from reality, the day will in everly come

(19:57):
when pretty much all of our movies and TV shows
are going to be fake. That's why I hardly started
on this. I haven't heard it today, Dragon'd you hear
it yesterday? Last week they were playing the It was
a corporate promo. iHeart all human all the time or something. Yeah,
guaranteed human, guaranteed human, well, in my case, guaranteed human.

(20:18):
In that case back behind the class humanoid. Humanoid? Yeah, humanoid?
What do you know think about that? Why would a
film studio spend I don't know, one hundred million dollars
or more for an all star movie cast when they
can generate just a high quality fact simile with AI.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
For a tiny fraction of that, a.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Real tiny fraction of it, the profit potential will be
too enormous for shareholders to pass by.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
So the c suite's going.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
To be Oh look, look, and I don't have Drudge
up right now, but let me see if it's still
up on the Drudge Report was a story which I
frankly did not look at because I just kind of
assumed it was something about a country song that was
using somebody's voice or.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
It was just a straight up AI song.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Oh, it was just straight up a I saw, yep,
but it sounded like a particular singer or something. Yeah.

Speaker 7 (21:13):
I think they fed it terms of you know, created
band or artists in the sound of blotty, bloody bloody blog.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
So there's gonna be a lot of that going on,
and I think we just need to be cognizant of it,
aware of it, and watch out for it. And going
back to the film industry, that might actually be a
good thing, since pretty much everything Hollywood is turning out
right now is pretty unmitigated crap. Though I must make
an exception for land Man and slow horses when I

(21:42):
say that land Man is the billy Bob's wife and
that are you watching that series? Dragon?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
I We want to, but we just haven't gotten around
to it.

Speaker 3 (21:51):
Yeah. The wife just drives me nuts.

Speaker 7 (21:54):
Well, just like you intended to. Right, Well, like anybody's
thank you.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Dragging at iHeartMedia dot Com email him. Okay, So enough
about that. Now It's go to politics for a moment.
I want to comment on this truth social post from
President Trump. He posted, any document signed by Sleepy Joe
with the autopen, which was approximately ninety two percent of them,
is hereby terminated and of no further force or effect,

(22:24):
he says. Trump says the autopen is not allowed to
be used if approval is not specifically given by the
President of the United States. He goes on to say
that the radical left lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful
resolute desk in the Oval Office took the presidency away
from him. I'm hereby canceling all executive orders and anything
else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden

(22:46):
because the people who operated the autopen did so illegally.
Joe Biden was not involved in the autopen process, and
if he says he was, he will be brought up
on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to
this matter. Yeah, he can't do that.

Speaker 3 (22:59):
Now. If he wants to.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Individually revoke every single executive orders signed by a previous president,
every president can do that. He can't just go on
truth postal and just say I hereby declared that boom,
they're all done, They're all they're all nol and void.

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Can't do that.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Might wish he could, because if he could, that would
open up a Supreme Court seat occupied by the clearest
DEI in American history, Katanji Brown Jackson.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
But he can't do it.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
He can go through and he can rescind those individually.
I don't think he can touch the pardons, whether they
were signed by the autopin or not.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
And he is.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
This is what drives me nuts sometimes about Trump. He
is half right about the use of the auto pin.
It has been declared legally useful, legally usable, but there
has to be some approval process put in place to
do it, because clearly you don't want the President of

(24:09):
the United States to have to sign every birthday greeting
that goes out. You know, presidents tend to send people,
you know, if you want to request a birthday letter
from the President for your best friend or your husband
or wife. You can do that and they'll send you one,
but it won't be an original signature. I can promise
you that because I've seen them and they're auto pinned.

(24:31):
But the point being, this is a classic case of
an unforced error by the president, a vast over promise
on a matter that he cannot deliver. It not only
doesn't do any good, it actually does active harm to
his credibility both here and abroad, by making him seem
impulse eve and prone to flying off the handle, which

(24:52):
honestly sometimes he does. The fact is that doing anything
promised in that note he posted would require Congress to act,
and republics in Congress don't show you any sign whatsoever
of doing anything about any of the Matthew fraud that's
been committed on the American public. It's shameful, but there
it is. He can do something, obviously, as we talked

(25:13):
about earlier about immigration, and I hope that he does that.
Now let's move on to some of the hard truths
about what we're doing in Venezuela. Venezuela is probably about
several things. I can think of three and I think
in this order, although the first two lead up to

(25:36):
the third. The first is election fraud. There's clearly election
fraud and Nicholas Maduro is clearly an illegitimate president, and
I think that's part of what Trump's going after. The
second is drug trafficking, and we know that, you know,

(25:59):
the the Chinese and the Mexicans and the Cubans are
all using Venezuela as their wayward point to get drugs
into the United States.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
And then there's the third point, oil.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
Now to understand why it's also about oil, just look
at what the liberal Prime Minister Carney did in Canada
Friday while we were all watching footballer in a food coma.
He reached the deal with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to
ease up on carbon restrictions in exchange for her support

(26:37):
for a new pipeline to the West Coast. Now, if
that's all I told you, you would think, well good,
they're easing up on the stupid, you know, carbon restrictions
because they recognize that fossil fuels are the wave of
the future and we need that if we're going to
sustain all these power needs. But this proposed line would

(27:04):
be capable of moving as much as ninety percent of
the oil sands crude currently exported to the United States
to the Pacific Coast to be exported to Asian markets.
So that's Carnee's way of trying to avoid massive Trump tariffs,
which will cost Canada projected fifty billion dollars over the

(27:24):
next five years. Now, oil sands crude is heavy crude,
that grade of crude which the vast problems to the
Gulf Coast refineries are set up to process. Most of
the demand from those refineries is filled by Canadian imports. Now,
if those imports are cut off, those refiners on the

(27:45):
Gulf Coast are going to be forced usend to source
their crude oil from other countries because we domestically don't
to produce We don't produce that much of that grade
of crude in this country. So enter Venezuweila, home to
the world's largest reserves of crude oil, most of which

(28:10):
I'm sure you've guessed by now, heavy crude, which would
be able to supply those US refineries. If the Madeira
regime is deposed and the new government opens the industry
backup to international investment and revitalization, Oh, and now you
know why forty percent of the US Navy's fleet is
currently masked in the Caribbean by President Trump shutting down

(28:33):
all air traffic in and out events way Al on Saturday, which,
by the way, then put a footnote to that.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
He did that on a truth truth social post.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
I'm not really sure that a truth social post has
the legal effect of shutting down the airspace. And I've
not heard or read yet of any military orders imposing
a no fly zone, so I'm guessing he's just at
this point relying on his statement to tell all the
commercial airlines and all other military aircraft. I wouldn't fly

(29:07):
over for Venezuela right now if I were you, because
you never know when I might just, you know, go
back crack crazy. But that's probably why forty percent of
our navy fleet is massed in the Caribbean, and why
shut down the air traffic at least tried to now,
Maduro has not fled to Brazil. I haven't checked it

(29:31):
this morning before I came on the air. I checked
it last night. His plane took off and went to Brazil,
But as far as I can tell right now, he
has not. He's still there and then one last comment
I want to make. I've been monitoring the Caladois State
University real time hurricane dashboard for weeks now well as

(29:56):
of yesterday. Guess what it was, the end of her season.
If you scroll down to the storm by storm table
up at CSU, you will see the accumulated cyclone energy plot.
They tell a story that's far from the supercharged nightmare
that we've been sold. And again, don't take my word

(30:18):
for it. You can pull up the twenty official twenty
twenty five storm list. Then you can eye the accumulated
cyclone energy curve. That's the accumulated cyclone energy curve that
measures the total strength and duration of storms.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
It's like this season's energy scorecard. If you will.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
When no name storms form, the energy are flatlines on
Calais State University's graph. You'll see that the stall is
as clear as day, especially through the peak, which is
usually around mid September. The data it doesn't match any

(30:58):
of the desired reds. Meanwhile, the medias machine, the cabal,
is still turning out the alarmist headlines while never mentioning
it was a hurricane drought.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
The New York Times.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
Their headline, how climate change affects hurricanes, Like Aaron, global
warming is changing the way storms behave. I wonder if
they would print that same headline today. They print that
headline back in August. Yeah, no, I don't know if
that's going to be true. France twenty four making the
same is climate change making hurricanes stronger?

Speaker 3 (31:33):
They posted that back in August. What hurricanes Grist.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
We now know just how much climate change supercharge Hurricane Katrina.
Two decades after that devastiting storm, scientists more easily determined
how much global warming is intensifying.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
The tropical cyclones. What tropical cyclones.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
I've spent almost twenty years now check those claims against
what actually occurs. The gap between the rhetoric and the
records just keeps getting wider and wider and wider. Oh,
I can give you the nitty grit if you want
the nitty gritty. In twenty twenty five, we had Andrea Berria,

(32:20):
Chantal Dexter, Aaron and Ferdinand. From two thousand and one
through about September two thousand and one, Yeah, was Atlantic
climatology shows that we had an increase in storms and
then it went flat. In plain English, the curve has

(32:46):
flatlined warm water wasn't enough. Frequency versus intensity, versus rainsfall.
Stop mixing the metrics. If you look at attribution, how
could this storm play out without human warming? Well, when
you dig into that kind of story, you realize, oh,
it's all model based. And now at the end of

(33:07):
hurricane season, we can look over our shoulders and say
you predicted dire results.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
We didn't have squat

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
