(00:26):
Welcome, Welcome to a short showedition of the show. We've got baseball
coming up at the bottom of thehour, so let's jump right into the
very voluminous blog for a half hourshow. I wanted to give you guys
something to do if you're not baseballfans, and boy did I find some
stuff. Let's go to the blogby finding mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog

(00:47):

four to twenty four blog short show, But when will the smoke leave?
Click on that and here are theheadlines you will find within anybos to listen
Office half of American all with shipsand clipments and see that's going to press
pledch today on the blog a bighalf hour show today. Biden is speaking

(01:11):
tonight at six This poll is moreaccurate in my opinion, But here come
the attacks. Elon Musk is notdonating forty five million dollars a month to
Trump scrolling, but Mayer is movingcloser to realism on homelessness. What happened
to Derell Davis is shameful. Thisseems accurate to me. Watch this laughable

(01:33):
statement by Chuck Schumer. A whaletakes out a fishing boat nineteen eighty four
has entered the chat can religion makeus happier? I'm buying one of these
for my political collection. Those arethe headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot
com and thank you mayn great jobcoming in for a half hour. I
forgot to add Dave Frasier onto theblog today because he's gonna pop on at

(01:57):
about twelve fifteen because I want toknow when this dang smoke is going to
be gone. Now. I dida little investigating on that, and apparently
there are two ginormous fires in Oregon. One of them is about two hundred
and forty thousand acres. One isabout one hundred and thirty four thousand acres,

(02:19):
and that is what is giving usthis smoke. It is awful.
I mean it's awful. I try. I can't even walk the dog right
now. It's absolutely horrific. SoDave's going to dip in at about nine
minutes and kind of give us anupdate on when we will expect to breathe
freely again. Now I have abunch of updates on Kamala's campaign. The

(02:39):
knives are out now for Kamala,as the attacks have begun, and the
attacks I'm extremely happy to report havenothing to do with her gender, her
race. They are all about herhorrible record as a hardcore progressive left winger.
And as people get to know thepolicy positions that Kamala has stood for,

(03:02):
I think that a lot of centerleft, center right, those people
are going to be like, waitwhat. I don't want somebody in office
that tried to outlaw private insurance.I don't want somebody in office that tried
to do these crazy things. SoI have a bunch of those columns linked
on the blog today and I wouldlove to be able to go through them
all, but obviously I have ahalf hour, So this is all on

(03:23):
the blog. You have plenty tolook at. I also managed to find
and in bed I should have knownthat doctor Jordan Peterson's conversation with Elon Musk
was going to be on X,so I found it and I embedded it.
I've watched maybe an hour of listenedto an hour and a half of
it. Super interesting. They covereverything from AI to religion to the gender

(03:45):
mafia. I mean it is justthe most comprehensive interview that I've heard with
anyone. I mean, they covereverything, but it's about an hour and
forty five minutes long, so yougot to kind of commit or do what
I do and take it in littlechunks. That is embedded in the blog
today. So if baseball isn't yourjam, you have something to listen to
that I highly recommend. Just incrediblyinteresting stuff. So I've got the Kamalas

(04:09):
stuff. I do want to talkabout one thing about the election. Yesterday,
when we had some polling that showedTrump up, I said, this
does not seem right, not becauseI think Kamala is a better candidate,
but because Kamala Harris at this pointhas probably gotten roughly a billion dollars of
non earned press right and non earnedme. She didn't pay for it,

(04:31):
and that's the best kind of press, Like the press, you don't have
to pay for it. Since JoeBiden dropped out, the news media has
been orgasmic in describing how amazing KamalaHarris is and how incredibly patriotic that Joe
Biden is for taking one for theteam and stepping down. We're going to
hear from Joe Biden tonight, bythe way, because Joe Biden is going

(04:53):
to speak to the country tonight,and I does I heard Ross say this
earlier, and it was funny becauseI was thinking the exact same thing.
Does anybody care what he says atthis point? Does anybody care about this
speech? Anyone? Because this manhas been effectively neutered, and this man

(05:17):
is clearly not running the country.I mean clearly because he's not capable of
it. I mean between ten amand four pm. According to his aides,
he's great, but unfortunately being presidentingis not a part time gig.
It is a full time gig,well beyond normal full time gigs. So
we already knew he wasn't running thecountry significantly. And now he's gonna come

(05:40):
out tonight and say what what ishe gonna say? Because right now I've
been thinking about this I've been stewingon this for the past few days,
and I'm gonna go into this moretomorrow. But the Democratic Party decided that
Joe Biden couldn't win, couldn't win, just couldn't win. I think they
put him in that debate to showthe last holdouts, the big donors,

(06:02):
the Biden supporters, that he obviouslycould not win. I think they did
that on purpose to embarrass him andforce him out of the race. And
then instead of coming up with anysort of system that allowed Democratic voters to
weigh in on in any way,they just coalesced around their chosen candidate,

(06:24):
and they just decided one after theyget well, she's our girl. She's
our girl, she's our girl.We're gonna do this. She's our girl.
So how are Democratic voters not mad? I just can't imagine the Republican
Party pulling this off. I can'timagine Republican voters allowing this to happen.
And yet here we are. Welltoday we have a new poll, shock

(06:45):
poll. Shock poll has Kamala upby two percent. No, it's not
a shock poll. If she wasn'tup for two, you know, by
two percent after literally three days ofessentially telling Americans that she is the second
coming up of Christ. Of courseshe's up to percent. She said nothing
but fawning media coverage, fawning presscoverage for the last you know, four

(07:11):
days. It's absurd, absolutely absurdthat it's not higher. Now here's the
deal. Kamala does have a trackrecord to run on, and it is
not pretty. From Willie Brown,her married boyfriend at the time. He
managed to get her elected district attorney, not because he thought she was right

(07:32):
for the job, but because hisfriends were being investigated by the district attorney's
office and that could not stand.So he installed Kamala in the district attorney's
office. And you know what happenedto those investigations. They just went away.
That is so weird. I'm sureit was a coincidence. I mean,
I am just positive it was acoincidence. I have no idea.

(07:57):
So she's not going to attend theJoint Address to Congress by Benjamin Att Nahu
because she has a sorority event.Oh, go meet with your sisters,
Kamala. Nothing says I want tobe president more than blowing off one of
our most important allies to go toa sorority event. Oh my god,
are you guys gonna wear but jamasthat have tickle fights? You heard my

(08:22):
sarcasm in that? I hope,I hope someone said, wow, you
sound heated. I sound aggravated.I sound frustrated because the realization that Donald
Trump is not just running against KamalaHarris, but is running against a media
that is now completely in the bagfor Kamala Harris and we'll never ask her
about these things. Somebody said pollsand statistics are so misleading and so far

(08:45):
from reality. I agree with this. That's why I always say the only
poll that matters is on election day, right, because that's a poll that
is an actual poll where we aregiving our actual votes in a way to
choose the winner. So yeah,that is a pole. But ultimately I
say this about the Kamala being upby two percent because there are a lot
of Republicans who are laughing, Oh, you know what, maybe your presidency

(09:09):
will see what it can be,unburdened by what has been. And yeah,
that's all funny, and I doit too because it it is funny.
But the reality is this woman couldwin, and she policy wise would
be an absolute disaster. For theUnited States of America. You think Joe

(09:30):
Biden was bad, Kamala Harris's senatorialvoting record is to the left of Bernie
Sanders, the left. That's themessage that has to get out. And
I don't trust at all at allthe news media here to get that message
out. What I do trust isour chief meteorologist from Fox thirty one,

(09:52):
Dave Frasier, who I asked to, Oh, hey, hey, oh,
it's like you just appeared in acloud of lightning, Dave. So
exciting. Dave, please tell methis smoke is going soon. It is.
We are within hours later this afternoonand certainly through the evening of seeing
this kind of migrate a little furthereast of Colorado, so you should start

(10:13):
to see improving quality. I'm lookingat it from space right now, and
it is a little thinner. It'sobviously still noticeable to the naked eye,
but it is a little thinner.The thickest smoke is already shifting towards the
eastern border, so you should startto notice later this evening and certainly tomorrow
less and less smoke in the air. Well. I just found out this
morning that there are a couple massivewildfires in Oregon like massive, So are

(10:37):
we going to is this going tobe like we don't have smoke for a
few days, then we have smokeagain. What does our future wind projection
look like in the next couple ofweeks Because I have I have like seventy
five friends and family coming in fromout of town next week for Chuck's birthday,
so I want them to be ableto see the mountains. Are they
going to be able to see themountains? Yes? So what we're happening
happened is as we get there's anarea of high pressure to our west and

(11:01):
circulating around that clockwise, the airis picking up the flow aloft is picking
up the smoke from up in theOregon and also the Canadian wildfires, and
it's pointing it over the eastern plane. That high is starting to move to
the east, which means the pointingof the smoke is going to go more
into the Midwest. And then Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we have rain
chances, so we're not anticipating anysmoke coming back our way. The question

(11:24):
is early next week, if thathigh pressure slides a little farther west and
they don't get a handle on thefires, and that's the forecast question that
we can't answer. Then yes,we might see some smoke trickle back in.
But if they can get a handleon the fires, or they can
get some help from other nature andkind of lower the amount of smoke from
those roaring wildfires, then we won'thave to worry about But I will tell

(11:46):
you, at least through the weekend, you should be okay. What about
next weekend? Do we know anythingabout that now? And somebody wanted to
know how you got into space.You said you were looking at the smoke
from space, and they're like,how did Dave get into space? How
do you at that? Yet?Dave? Yeah, actually it wouldn't be
a bad day. Now. I'mlooking at the satellite picture. I'm looking
at a visible satellite space and youcan clearly see the smoke in haste.

(12:09):
As far as next weekend, it'sa little too far outside of the seven
day to give you any type ofsomething that I would you know, guarantee,
But at this point, you know, it does look like we're going
to transition out of July and gointo August above normal normals around ninety So
we're thinking somewhere around ninety five degreeseach day, doesn't seem to be a
lot of rain. Friday Saturday thisweek is our best chance. But even

(12:30):
then you're only talking a thirty fortypercent chance of scattered storm. So we
could use some rain, there's noquestion about it. We'll keep an eye
on the smoke forecast. We've beenusing it nightly to kind of depict with
color coding where the thicket smoke is. But I've already been looking at that
and it has improved dramatically from wherewe were yesterday. So again, it's
still out there, it's still visible. If you're sensitive to that kind of
a thing, you want to limityour time outside from mid afternoon to early

(12:54):
evening. That's when it's generally thethickest, and then after that it disperses
that you should notice rapid improvement tonightand certain Now let me ask you this.
The National Weather Service just came outwith the kind of three month forecast
and they say we are going tobe hot and dry. What are your
thoughts on that, Like, overlyhot and overly dry. Yeah, I
mean that's been the outlook for thesummer, and I wouldn't I'm not surprised

(13:16):
to see that for the next threemonths. But again we talk all about
those long range outlooks, it tellsyou nothing about the day to day weather.
So June ended up being a littleabove normal and dry as we know.
So that verified July is running alittle behind by half an inch.
So we are a little dry,and it doesn't look like we'll be able
to pick up that moisture. SoJuly will come out dry as well.

(13:37):
But it doesn't mean we're completely parchedand baked. Okay, pictures actually believe
it or not. You know,two weekends ago we had those ninety nine
to one hundred degree days which tippedthe scale to warmer than normal. But
then last week and we had thatrefreshing change and that tipped the scale back
to normal. So the temperatures aregoing back and forth again. The day

(13:58):
to day. Yeah, we're goingto have bouts. Remember we're in the
days of summer till about the middleof August, and then we'll start to
see rain chances increasing. Of course, welcome September October with open arms.
Well, I just had one lastquestion before I let you go, and
it is about last weekends like torrentialdownpour. This person said What kind of
storm was it. Some people saida squall, some just said Colorado in

(14:20):
the summer. Curious if you hadany details from that storm specifically. It
was a little of both. Itwas a cold front that came in.
Everybody noticed the difference between the temperatures, which were in the eighties on Saturday,
the humidity had come up. Coldfront came in and along that axis
it kicked up a pretty good squallis a good way to define it.
A line of showers and thunderstorms thatwere pretty vigorous. They were dumping rain,

(14:45):
The wind was blowing it sideways.It came down heavy and hard for
a period of time. It hadthe hail with it, which is never
fun. The moisture content that wegot afterwards was pretty good. That's what
got us kind of closer to backon track with the month of July.
So one day event picked up threequarters of the nicks. That's a lot
one day. So yeah, itwas definitely due to the cold front.
And then of course we had thoserefreshing temperatures with fifties in the morning on

(15:09):
Sunday and only seventies in the afternoon. I loved it. It was fantastic.
Dave Fraser, we'll talk to younext Wednesday for a full and proper
weather Wednesday. But in my gianthalf hour show, I'm going to try
and get some other stuff in hereas well. I'll talk to you later,
my friend. All right, goRockie, all right, that's Dave
Fraser. A couple of things Iwant to point out on the blog today.

(15:30):
We have not talked about the TerrellDavis story. Ay Rod. I
don't know if you ever had achance. I don't know where you were,
wi you were still in school,if you had the chance to interact
with Terrell Davis or any of that. Did you ever have a chance to
meet him? And not in school, but here here at KOA, we've
had him on quite a few times. He's done some fillain work and he's
a pleasant, awesome, fantastic individual. And this story is That's what I

(15:54):
was getting to because everything I've everheard about Terrell Davis and I met him
briefly in passing years ago at aSuper Bowl and he was just a delight,
just a very kind person. Hedidn't have to talk to me,
he didn't have to say hello tome, you know what I mean.
And everybody that I know has alwayssaid Terrell Davis is one of those people.
He is exactly as he seems right. He doesn't have a persona whatever

(16:18):
you see him on TV or whatever, that's how he is in real life.
So when I saw this story,it is awful. He was arrested
on a flight because the flight attendant, a male flight attendant from what I
understand, accused him of hitting him. When Terrell Davis says, look,
he forgot my son's cup of ice. I tapped him on the shoulder to

(16:38):
get the cup of ice, andthe guy flipped out, and when they
landed they put him in handcuffs,and eventually the police and the FBI ended
up apologizing because they said that theflight attendant's view. I guess other passengers
stepped in to say, what areyou doing? This is crazy. But
now he's going to sue the airlineand I, as a former flight attendant,

(16:59):
this is my take on this.I used to work with flight attendants
like this, but now since nineto eleven, a lot of these flight
attendants are mad with power and thisguy is, as we used to call
people like this, a pissy bitch. That's what he is. And now
he's been removed from flying. He'snot flying right now as they try to
figure out what went on. Butwhat a terrible embarrassing thing to happen.

(17:22):
And this is one of those thingswhere it is almost impossible to not think
that race had something to do withthis, you know, I just find
it, I find it difficult tobelieve that race was not somehow a part
of this. If this has beenbeen a white woman that tapped the flight
attendant on the shoulder, or awhite man,
