Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is America's Trucking Network with Kevin Gordon.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Welcome aboard, Thanks for tuning in on this Thursday morning.
We're going to begin with a story that is more
transportation history related, but I find this particular story absolutely fascinating.
Archaeologists think and actually believe this time that they have
found Noah's Arc with incredible new discovery. The discoveries were

(00:32):
made by an American research team working at Dua Pinar Formation.
The archaeologists have made stunning discovery using radar technology to
locate what they believe are remnants of Noah's Ark in Turkey.
Groundbreaking penetrating radar GPR analysis has revealed a chemical imprint

(00:54):
along with pieces of wood in the ground and the
shape of a hall the hull of the ship. Now
years ago they they saw remnants of this in certain
parts of Turkey. According to the Bible, Noah's Ark, after
forty days and forty nights after the Big flood was
actually came to rest on the top of Mount Ararat.

(01:16):
Now this location is actually eighteen miles southwest of that
and so is in that general vicinity. According to biblical accounts,
the enormous vessel rescued humanity and every animal species from
the devastating flood more than forty three hundred years ago.
An American research team investigating the do Rupp Pinar formation

(01:40):
near Mount aero Rat has now uncovered evidence of angular
structures and a cavity deep inside the mountain. Independent researcher
Andrew Jones from Noah's Ark scans employed ground penetrating radar
to detect what appears to be a thirteen foot passageway
cutting through the formation center. Archaeologists were also blown away

(02:04):
by the human discovery which hold the humna rather discovery
and then that's Arabic for human discovery, which holds the
key to Noah's Arc evidence. The team GPR Data Analysis
claims to have identified central inside passages or corridors throughout
the vessel. Express UK reports these scans additionally detected three

(02:29):
distinct layers underground, corresponding with the Biblical description of the arc.
Contain arc containing three levels. According to Genesis six sixteen,
Chapter six, Verse six. Chapter six, Verse sixteen states make
a roof for the arc and finish it to a
cubit above and set the door of the arc on

(02:52):
its side. Make it with lower, second and third decks,
so this is lining up and the aerial view of this,
I mean, it is just absolutely incredible. And I saw
the video of this, and when they walk up on
this area, you can tell there is a difference in

(03:12):
the grass, the color of the grass in this area
versus the other.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
And what they talk about. Well, let's just go through
the story here the Do pinar.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Now, this is d U r U p I n
a r Do root pinar formation. Sits eighteen miles south
of Mount Ararat, and all these different photographs and the
radar shots of this and the infrared discoveries and the
pictures of this are just absolutely astounding. Biblical texts describe

(03:48):
the arc as three hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide,
and thirty cubits high, roughly five hundred feet five hundred
and fifteen feet long, eighty six feet wide and fifty
two feet tall. And this footprint here matches all of
those particular descriptions. I just, like I said, I find

(04:10):
this absolutely phenomenal and fascinating the fact that some of
the things that we have, you know, people have put
aside for years about oh well this is just a legend,
and this isn't true, and it's just oh, it's just
the Bible and all this sort of thing. That what
we have discovered over the years in all these archaeological

(04:31):
digs is that we find little pieces here and there
of the truth in terms of what was put in
the Bible years and years ago. So it is just
like I said, I find it absolutely phenomenal. He said,
we noticed the grass growing within the boat shaped formation
is a different color compared to the area just outside it. Now,

(04:53):
this is according This is the Andrew Jones who found this,
has been doing this discovery.

Speaker 3 (04:59):
Now.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
They been on this site for several years. So this
isn't just something they tripped upon and just started, oh well,
we don't just throw this out there and you know,
make a big splash.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
They have been studying this for years.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
They've been taking core samples, have been very careful about
doing the drilling.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
You know, these little.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Circular things almost looks like about the size of a
soup can or something wide. And they bore down in
there to get some of these samples and stuff indicating
that let me see the natural indicating that could suggest a.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
Man made origin rather than a natural one.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
William Crabtree another member of Noah's Ark scans, observed that
a tunnel appears to extend from the tip of the
formation towards the center, and it is large enough to
walk through.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
Now the reason.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
For this is that he also discuss their soil analysis,
noting that organic matter was found to be twice as
high inside the formation compared to the surrounding soil. The
potassium levels inside are also about forty percent higher, Williams said.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
He added, if you know soil.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Science as I I'm a soil scientist, you'll understand the
potassium levels, organic matter, and pH can all be influenced
by a decaying organic material. If this was a wooden
boat and the wood had rotted over time, we would
expect to see elevated levels of potassium, changes in pH

(06:24):
and higher organic content. Is that exactly what we are
finding and this, like I said, I find this absolutely
fascinating and the more they dig into this to find
out if it's true. Now, on a personal note, where
I live in northern Kentucky, we are exactly where I live,

(06:44):
and I've described this before. I live in Wilder, Kentucky
and we look out over the valley, the Licking River Valley,
and we can see the other county over there. We're
at one of the highest points in Campbell County. We
have a view of the downtown area of downtown Cincinnati,
and so from the deck conceive parts of Cincinnati and
all kinds of different things. Because we've set up on

(07:04):
a hill, we sit, and I checked this out. We
are eight hundred and thirty feet above sea level. Northern
Kentucky at one point was covered by an ocean, which
would probably give to the fact that the world had
been consumed by water over the Great Flood, possibly during
the or do Vician period ordo Vician period between four

(07:29):
hundred and fifty and four hundred and twenty million years ago.
During this time, the region was a shallow tropical sea
where marine life such as brachiopods and bryozoans flourished, leaving
behind the fossil rich limestone and shale that is still
found there today. Now get in on a side note,

(07:50):
personal note. I have in where the condo I live.
I have dug up flower beds and stuff to plant
certain flowers and bushes, and redo the front of the
condo to make it more attractive and so on. And
I have pulled out these flat pieces of shale that
have different fossils in them, and they're all you know,

(08:10):
they're available all over and as a matter of fact,
I've dug some of them up and they're in certain areas.
And since we live on a hill, if I'm out
on the deck and I'm doing some show prep, the
wind gets pretty high up here, so I need paper weights.
And so I am proud to say that my paper
rip weights out on the deck are four hundred and

(08:30):
twenty to four hundred and thirty million years old, and
they are my paper weights. Now marine life to see
what was teeming with marine invertebrates like brachiopods which are
now Kentucky's state fossil briazomes, moss like animals, and trillo bites.
Glaco geological evidence. This rich fossil rich limestone and shale

(08:55):
layers found in northern Kentucky and the surrounding region are
direct evidence of this this ancient ocean. Many buildings in
the area are constructed within this fossil bearing stone.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
We'll pick this up and talk a little bit more
about this coming up.

I'm Kevin Gordon, America's Trucking Network seven hundred WLW. We'll
tell you. In the previous segment about this story, Archaeologists
find Noah's Ark with incredible new discovery. According World News,
another headline, has Noah's Arc finally been found radar spock
sparks biblical buzz.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Now.

Speaker 2 (12:34):
I was talking about how here in northern Kentucky, especially
where I live, that we are eight hundred and thirty
feet above sea level, and we have fossils in our soil,
and I've got examples of them. As I said, I
use them as paper weights out on the deck. I've
got a four hundred and twenty as they say, four

(12:57):
hundred and twenty million year old paperweight that I actually
I have about three or four of them. I have
even more out in the yard. But it's to put
this into perspective. If you're familiar with the area, if
you're familiar with Cincinnati, the tallest building in Cincinnati is
a building called the Great American Insurance Building that sits

(13:18):
six hundred and sixty feet tall. So where we are
located on top of this hill is more than two
hundred feet about two hundred feet more than that at
eight hundred and thirty feet above sea level. The Empire
State Building is actually twelve hundred and fifty on the
one hundred and second floor, and it goes up to

(13:41):
fourteen hundred and fifty four with that pinnacle that little
you know, they have the point on it where the
antennas are and all that. So we are about four
hundred feet short of that above sea level. The Eiffel Tower. Again,
to put it again in perspective. The original height was
nine hundred and eighty four feet and now now it's
up to one thousand and eighty three when they add

(14:02):
all the antennas and the radio antennas and that on
that Eiffel Tower. So to picture that an ocean, that
the whatever ocean it was, whether it was you know,
I'm guessing because of looking at the land mass and
the top topological map, I would have guessed that the
ocean would have been possibly from the Atlantic Ocean, because

(14:25):
if the Pacific, they would have had to get over.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
The rocky mountains and get over this area.

Speaker 2 (14:29):
So it was probably the Atlantic Ocean or what has
become the Atlantic Ocean up to the state of Kentucky.
Imagine that four hundred and thirty Well, of course, according
to archaeologists now when they talk about the Bible and
they talk about these things being forty three hundred years
ago during the Noah's time, this is you know, where

(14:53):
science and religion kind of obviously clash because when they
do this carbon and dating and the card Now let's
take into consideration the fact that whatever they do as
far as carbon dating is based on the information that
they have and how they have come across their analysis

(15:14):
of that and if in fact, at some point maybe
that was a little off, or maybe what they talk
in terms of the Bible, in terms of what the
number of years are and how long those years are,
it is possible for that to match up.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Give you an example. I don't know if you've heard
about this.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
They called the shroud of Turin, and supposedly it's been
it was the burial cloth that covered Jesus after the
crucifixion and put into the tomb. When this was discovered,
and it appeared as though that the imprint of his face,
his wounds, his body, to get the actual size and
measurements of Christ, that this has been in this in Turin,

(15:57):
Italy on socked away, but it's there, and over the
years they have done analysis of that cloth, and the
cloth itself dates back to around that time now about
I think twenty thirty years ago. A bunch of people
claimed that this was a fraud, that the imprint on there,

(16:19):
and that the date of the cloth or the date
of what they're seeing as far as material only goes
back to like the Middle Ages, the twelve hundreds thereabouts.
What they failed to realize is that there was a
fire inside this cathedral, in turn, which would have put
soot on this cloth during that time, and unless they

(16:40):
peel that back, that would be what they are carbon dating,
is the ash and the soot on that as opposed
to the actual cloth itself. And yet when they say
it's a fraud, and they say that the imprint on
there was a fake, they still haven't been able to
identify what the ink was, how they did the process,

(17:05):
and been able to duplicate that process. So you are
the people the skeptics are denying the existing existence of something,
but they have no proof that how that was done
or how the fake was done. If it isn't according
to them, it was a fake. So if after what
two thousand, well from back in the Middle Ages, we're

(17:27):
talking to what another twelve hundred years, we still haven't
been able to duplicate the xeroxing or the ink or
whatever was done as far as this particular cloth in
order to put that kind of an imprint on it
and give that kind of an image that somehow or
another that it's a fake. Even though you can't duplicate it,
you can't figure out how it was done, what the

(17:49):
components of it were or anything else. Now, I just
got to note that apparently the ocean that during that
particular time was called the Lapetus Ocean. So I want
to thank my producer for coming up with this information.
For me, so interesting that what it was called. But
I guess, well, the Lapetus Ocean at some point in

(18:12):
time was eventually called the Atlantic Ocean. But it is
amazing to me, and I find these things fascinating when
you dig into literally dig into this archaeology and find
out that some of the things that were put off
as myth, some things that were put off as oh,
well that's just.

Speaker 3 (18:31):
A biblical story, there's no real proof to it.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
And all this time after time they find a little
bit more of an evidence here and there that in
some instance, well that was kind of a history book
to a certain extent. But again, a lot of this
stuff is being proved today that was put in the
Bible years ago. And if they dig into this and
they do a lot more discovery on this and actually

(18:56):
discover Noah's ark, that's going to set the scientific world
on its head. I mean, it's just absolutely incredible. Like
I said, I am fascinated by this, and I'm absolutely
amazed at it now.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
One of the things that I saw yesterday too was Phil.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Flynn had a very amazing energy report, and a lot
of times his energy report kind of devolves into kind
of a editorial, if you will, which I love, kind
of summarizing not only what's going on in the oil industry,
energy markets, and so on, but also kind of a

(19:32):
a editorial on geopolitical news and what is going on
in the world itself. And one of the reasons I
like him so much and we've had him on the
program several times, is that we are like minded in
certain things. And when I started reading some of this
stuff about energy news and so on, and his name

(19:55):
was mentioned, and some of the quotes came up, and
I'm thinking, my goodness, this is some of this stuff
that I've been thinking over the years. Some of the
stuff that I've read over the years matches with that.
So I contacted him and we've become friends, and I've
had him on the program a couple of times.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Now.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
What is going on is that ever since gosh, this
goes back at least one hundred years, where they assumed
at some point in time we were going to hit
peak oil, which means that the amount of oil that
we have discovered is all the oil that we're going
to discover, and that the demand for this oil is

(20:31):
the highest it's ever going to be. And this hit
in the seventies, they talked about peak oil, they talked
about it again in the eighties, and they've been talking
about it now up until seems like they talk about
this every so often. But it appears as though once
again these predictions by these so called experts are off.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
And we'll pick that up when we come back.

the bill earlier tonight, two hundred and twenty two votes
to two. Nine six Democrats joined Republicans. Two Republicans voted no.
The Senate cleared the measure days ago, paving the way

for tonight's signing. House Speaker Mike Johnson took the opportunity
to point fingers despite the fact that his party controls
all three branches of government.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
The Democrats shut down is finally over thanks to House
and Senate Republicans who stood together to get the job done.

Speaker 9 (21:48):
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said his party needs firmer leadership
after internal divisions, and Ohio's Greg Landsman said he could
not support the bill because it does not extend expiring
healthcare subsidies. Federal workers will report as normal in the
morning now that the government is fully reopened.

network looking at Phil Flynn's energy report today, talking again
about peak.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Oil and so on, what's going on.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
In the oil markets as well as the energy markets,
and as I've said for years now, and going back
to the years of the Biden administration, talking about energy
prices and what that does as far as inflation is concerned,
and how that and because let's face it, there isn't
a business out there, There isn't anything out there that

(26:00):
is an effect affected by energy. Everything from I mean,
you know, whatever you how you light your home, the
electricity going into the home, the electricity going into the factories,
the electricity going into the office buildings. All of this
is dependent upon the energy prices. Fueling cars, fueling buses,

(26:21):
fueling trains, everything involving anything having to do with energy
is so important as far as what is going on
and as far as crosses all every industry, every business
across the country and across around the world, and so
as energy prices go up and down, that is going
to affect and going to affect the price in order

(26:42):
to manufacture something. The cost as far as even if
you're in a business that is a service industry, let's
say you're even an attorney's office, in our accountant's office,
the energy costs are going to be affected in terms
of the price that you are going to have to
charge on a per hour basis to serve your clients
and to do certain things for them.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
So that's going to be effected.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
The amount of electricity costs to run the manufacture the
manufacturing facilities and along the manufacturing lines. That's going to
affect the price. The fueling the car, the fueling the trucks,
all of that stuff is going to have to impact
into the cost of transportation and then eventually what is
charged on that product in order for it to get

(27:24):
to the shelves. So it is extremely important and we
pay attention to that and make sure that we have
an adequate supply. Global petroleum markets are getting moments of
clarity as the International Energy Agency once again backs off
its ridiculous prediction of peak oil demand. At the same time,
there are more signs that President Trump's sanctions on Russia's

(27:48):
big oil company Rosneft and Look Oil are having an impact,
as Indian refiners shun Russian oil and Opec is able
to raise the selling price to India so that their
oil as they don't have to compete with those discounted
Russian barrels, because what Russia was doing was discounting their

(28:08):
barrels in order to undercut the market, so that companies
or countries like India and China would buy their oil
even though there was sanctions on their oil. They would
try to figure out some way of getting around it.
A course with this what they call the ghost fleet,
where this oil is loaded onto a ship and then
it goes out in the middle of the ocean, turns

(28:30):
off the transponder. Another neutral ship pulls up next to it,
they offload the oil and then it goes into a port.

Speaker 3 (28:36):
They were talking about.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
We've talked about that on this program numerous times that
if you look at and it's one of these things
that the international community kind of turns a blind eye to,
that Malaysia produces about five hundred thousand barrels of oil
per day or a month or something along those lines,
but the exports that they have, based on these shipments

(28:58):
that they have delivered to other places, are three times
that amount. So well, you know, unless they're well, maybe
maybe Malaysia can walk on water and they do kind
of like the miracle of the loads and fishes, but
I don't think that's probably the reason behind that. So again,
some of the shenanigans has been going on. Let me see,

(29:18):
President Trump looks to open offshore drilling in California while
California Governor Gavin Newsom pays homage. I'll use that word
because everybody uses that, you know, the hoity toities. Actually
it's homage to the green energy lobby at the COP thirty,
which was supposedly designed to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions.

(29:41):
Now that COP thirty stands for the Conference of Participants,
and thirty indicates this is the thirtieth time they've met,
so it's the conference of the parties under this un thing. Actually,
what it should be called is climbiness oppressing people because

(30:03):
all of the stuff that they come out with with
their proposals out of these things are oppressive to us
and basically raise our energy costs dramatically. And as I've
talked about before when I mentioned Climinus, you know, environmentalism
has become the new communism because it is not about

(30:25):
saving the planet. It's not about anything else other than control.
And when you look at communism versus environmentalism, or you
look at what communism is based on, it's a totalitarian
regime that controls every aspect of your life. And the environmentalists,
through their efforts, want to control every aspect of your

(30:47):
life having to do with energy and do it through energy.
So I've just mashed the two together, and instead of
just environmentalists, I just mashed the two together and just
call them climbinus. But the COP thirty that that met,
and they're always you know, they come up with these
ideas and it's just absolutely incredible, all right, Cop thirty

(31:07):
was supposedly designed to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. It
failed miserably and everything except in raising energy prices and
taking money and giving it to the rich green energy
investor class while raising the prices of energy for the
poor and middle class. California Governor Gavin Newscomb is bragging

(31:29):
about his green energy ambitions even as the people in
California suffer with the highest gasoline prices in the nation,
unreliable power grid, and isn't prepared to meet the economic
demands of the future. Now we've talked about on this program,
they out in California they are paying two dollars a gallon,

(31:52):
higher than the lowest price gasoline in the country currently,
as of yesterday, the nationwide average or nationwide high is
four dollars and sixty nine cents in California to a
low of two dollars and fifty six dollars a gallon
two dollars and fifty six cents a gallon in Oklahoma,

(32:13):
where I live. In Kentucky is roughly around two dollars
and seventy three cents a gallon, So they are a
clear two dollars and two dollars and thirteen cents higher
than the cheapest and it's all because of the taxes,
the environmental regulations on them, and the reformulation of their

(32:34):
gas that they have to do, a reformulation of their
gas different than the rest of the entire country. And
again I've pointed out that if you look at all
of their supposed green energy deals and things that they've
done supposedly to clean up the environment out there, I've
had conversations with people on this, and I've mentioned this
on this program numerous times. How back in the seventies

(32:56):
when I used to go I was going from Universe
Xavier University where I went to school, and I was
doing some work. I actually was co oping down in Cincinnati,
and when you drive down what's Columbia called Columbia Parkway,
you get a view of the city at a distance,
and during the summer months, almost all during the summer,
you would look at this brown haze over the city.

(33:18):
And the only time that would clear up is that
there was a big lots of wind or where the
rain would come down. Back in the seventies, late seventies,
early eighties, may remember some of the reports of actual
Lake Erie, the river of the Cuyahoga River up near

(33:39):
Cleveland that feeds into the Lake Erie actually caught on
fire because of all the petroleum products in there. Lake
Erie was getting to the point where it was almost
like a dead sea where you couldn't eat the fish.
People weren't supposed to swim in their certain parts of
the day. They started cleaning that up, they started cleaning
up the environment, They started to cleaning up some of

(34:00):
the emissions coming out of these cars. But California has
gone way overboard, and as a matter of fact, everything
that they've done over the last thirty years was wiped
out when the twenty twenty wildfires erupted out there and
polluted the area out there and left all the ash
and everything and poison the environment out there.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
And that's before the twenty twenty five wildfires.

Speaker 2 (34:27):
Now, when you look at the emissions, and I've talked
about that on this program numerous times, you look at
the emissions coming out of the trucks today, it takes
sixteen sixty eighteen wheelers six zero eighteen wheelers to match
the pollution from one truck back in nineteen eighty eight.
When you look at tailpipe emissions on cars, you have

(34:50):
about a ninety nine percent cleanup of that from the
early eighties now when you drive down Columbia Parkway now
I'm in of Cincinnati. Back in the seventies, they used
to have these air quality emergencies where you know, don't
go outside if you're having breathing problems, and don't do
this on almost the entire summer. Now there's maybe two

(35:14):
three four times during the summer months that those heat advisers.
It's more heat advisory as opposed to air quality, and
there's still some of those, but in terms of where
they were back in the seventies, it has been light
years different. And so some of this green stuff, I mean,
it's gone too far.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Let's just put it that way.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
I'll continue with this and talk a little bit more
about Phil Flynn's assessment here. You're gonna love coming up
because not only are they wrong about global warming, climate change,
whatever they want to call it, the hypocrisy is just incredible.
I'm Kevin Gordon. America has struck a network seven hundred WLW.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
Run a business and nuts as.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Has struct a network seven hundred w l W. Continuing
on this discussion in terms of the COP thirty, which
is the Conference of the Parties. It's a un organization,
you know, one of these groups that they all get
together at certain times during the year and just you know,
Babylon about the environment and all the things that they

(36:18):
can do to oppress us. So instead of cop Conference
of the Party, as I said, it should be called
climunism oppressing people. Let's see here I left off when
we're talking about Gavin Newsom bragging about the country their
environmental changes and that a lot of companies are going
to be leaving because they can't meet the energy demands

(36:39):
based on their policy. And he states here, maybe the
governor should stay home in California and start issuing building
permits for the terrible fires that happened in California, which
he blames on climate change but fails to acknowledge his
responsibility of forest management and the lack.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Of water to fight the fires.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
They lost eleven thousands structures out there. To this date,
there have been less than three hundred building permits issued.
Now there have been something like thirteen hundred that have
been filed, but the paperwork to get to that stage
in order to file for the permit on that area

(37:20):
is takes a lot of time. They claimed that they
were going to cut out the red tape and speed
up these building permits. But there's a push out there now, surprise, surprise,
of making low income housing out there instead of these
large homes overseeing or overlooking the ocean that were there,

(37:44):
They want to pack them and stack him in there,
kind of along the lines of well, you know, multi
family homes and stuff.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
As far as cop thirty.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
Now, this conference was in Brazil, right, President Trump calling
the whole climate circus a con job. I call it
the green news steel because, as Phil Flynn points out,
and I've been saying for years, it is merely a transfer,
actually a confiscation of money out of your pocket and
going to a bunch of billionaire climate investors and enriching

(38:15):
them at the expense of us and other people. While
the EU Climate boss says it's a watershed moment, most
big emitters didn't even show up, maybe because they realized
that the people of the climate world told the world
would are well. Mainly because they told us that by

(38:36):
this time when they first started talking, we wouldn't even
be here because we're the world was going to come
to an end. And as always, the hypocrisy and logistical
mess messes were on full display. Get this, more than
one hundred thousand Amazon trees were bulldozed just to build

(38:58):
a highway so delegates could arrive in style, while private
jets flooded the skies like locusts. They're telling us where
we are wasting too much energy, and we need to
curtail our activities. We need to stop burning fossil fuel,
we need to stop a gas using gas to cook food.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
We need to be.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
An energy more energy efficient, solar panels, wind panels, and
all this sort of stuff. Yet these people are flying
around in private jets chopping down one hundred thousand Now,
didn't we hear years ago that the Amazon forest was
the lungs of the unit of the world, that the

(39:45):
air filtered through there and then was cleansed and sent
out to the rest of the region, And then we
need to preserve the Amazon rainforest. Remember, well, apparently, if
you need a landing strip, you need a bunch of
rich people to show up at a conference, you need
to cut down one hundred thousand of these trees in
order to accommodate them. Believable, so the delegates could be

(40:09):
flooded the skies like Locus. On one day the power
went out and the delegates found themselves bunking in hotels.
The World Resources Institute warns that this failure to deliver
is eroding the trust, and Gutiras, who is the head
of the UN, summed it up as half measures in

(40:29):
plain English.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
They want more money, and no money means no action.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Of course, after trillions spent, they also have no results.
And again they want to spend and they've been spending
trillions of dollars on these green new energy things, green
new steel things, and they wind up that they're all failures.
Of their failure, they fail to be energy efficient. The

(40:55):
amount of energy that goes into making these windmills are
far more than what is done as far as some
of the transmission, the other forms of transmission and production
of energy. Not to mention, we saw a couple of
years ago, what was a couple of years ago where
they were making doing these windmills out in the ocean,

(41:16):
and it was causing problems as far as these communication
with these whales, and the whales were washing up on
the on the shore dying as a result of being
disrupted in terms of their sonar and radar internal body
workings because of the sounds of this drilling.

Speaker 3 (41:32):
So you know, I guess you.

Speaker 2 (41:35):
I guess save the whales is is not as important
as windmills. I guess it's just when you dig into
these things and see what the climbinists are doing and
what they have proposed and what they have caused in
terms of spending trillions of dollars and costing us more

(41:56):
for energy than what it normally would have been, and
and to have a net zero effect on the environment.
And let's not forget all the pollution coming out of China,
all the pollution coming out of India, so everything that
we do here in the Western world to try to
mitigate any of the climate change that supposedly is man made,

(42:17):
which they can. And there's been stories over the last
couple of months that said that the models that they
use has been proving that it was all a hoax
all along. Just absolutely amazing that they've gotten away with this,
and you know, kind of a little bit of a
support of that. Let's not forget we are at the
tail end of the hurricane season in the Atlantic and

(42:41):
we have yet to knock on wood. Still, let me
do that a little louder knock on wood. We have
not had a landfall in the United States through this
hurricane season. And it's been interesting that as these storms
develop out there, they go in at the beginning of
the year and Okay, we're going to have X number

(43:01):
of storms, and this is we expect to have X
number of name storms and all this sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (43:07):
And it seemed to me and I maybe not.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
Followed this as much in the past as I did
this year, because I was making, you know, trying to
check in terms of, you know, transportation and of course
with the ports on the East Coast and so on,
and of course the refineries in Texas and so on,
making sure that as far as what we're doing as
far as transportation and disruptions in the supply chain was

(43:33):
not being affected by this. But they were doing name
storms when they were out in the middle of the
Atlantic Ocean. And just because a storm becomes a hurricane
out there, does that necessarily warrant giving it a name
unless it's getting close to where it's a population area

(43:54):
that you know, It's the old thing, you know, if
a tree falls in the middle of the forest and
nobody's there to hear it doesn't make us sound well.
If a hurricane forms in the middle of the Atlantic
Ocean and does nothing and dissipates right there, was it
really a hurricane.

Speaker 3 (44:09):
I mean, it's just one of those things.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
But Brian Norcross, reflecting on a hurricane season of twenty
twenty five, was making some comments further tropical developments are
unlikely this hurricane season. Right we are now on the
twelfth of the month, and they are forecasting right now
that they don't anticipate at least over the next seven
days for sure, that there's not going to be and

(44:32):
they're not seeing any inkland because there's been this cold
front that has come down. And part of the reason
with hurricanes is that if the Atlantic Ocean in the
water is warm, that tropical storms and whatever they can form,
they feed off of the heat of the ocean. And
with this cold front coming down and cooling off the
area down there, it's almost acting as a barrier to

(44:54):
prevent any hurricanes to the route the rest of the season.
And so they talked about how at the beginning of
the season they were going to have all these number
of storms, and I think they're up to the average
number of storms, but the name storms that is. But
none of these storms will except with Melissa that devastated Jamaica,

(45:15):
that was one of the only storms that actually made
landfall in the Western hemisphere. His takeaway from the season
was more amusement than anything else. Many online comments and
people I've met have expressed something akin to surprise that
no hurricanes made landfall in the US this season. It's
actually quite common to get through a season without a

(45:37):
hurricane landfall. It just hasn't happened in the past ten years.
And what have we heard over the because of climate change,
because of everything that we're doing, we're destroying the planet,
that more and more of these hurricanes are going to
be coming. Every time the hurricanes would come last year,
the last four ten years or so, this is all
evidence of climate change.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
But as he points out here, very few.

Speaker 2 (45:59):
There is numerous years where there has been no landfall.
But okay, but all of the hype has to be
there in order to excite people and to get people
all concerned about it and then move towards this green
new steel crap. Well, folks, we're up against clock here.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
