WATER WARS HAVE BEGUN: The Colorado River Crisis Is Exploding
The American West is facing a crisis that could reshape life for millions.
The Colorado River supplies water to nearly 40 million people across the Southwest, but record drought, shrinking snowpack, rising temperatures, and increasing demand have pushed the river to a breaking point. California, Nevada, and Colorado all need the water. None want to give up their share. And now negotiations are collapsing.
Could the next battle over the Colorado River be fought in court? As Lake Mead and Lake Powell continue to face pressure, states are preparing for what could become one of the biggest legal and political fights in modern American history.
Plus:
• Why are bars in San Francisco’s Castro District using facial recognition technology on customers?
• Is it legal, and what does it mean for privacy?
• The latest political headlines from Washington.
• Health and fitness news that could affect your daily life.
The future of water in the American West isn’t a distant problem—it’s happening right now.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Show Time is here. No time to fear.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Correll is so near because show Time is here.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
So on with the show.
Speaker 3 (00:09):
Let's give it a go.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Correll is the one that you need to know.
Speaker 4 (00:15):
Now, it's show time.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
It's another first for Donald Trump, and I'm gonna tell
you what it is. Also, there is a new war
already being waged, and I bet you don't even know
about it. We're gonna talk about it. And the biggest
war online right now is between Jamie D. Curtis and
Mariska Hardy Game. Show Time is here and I'm a queer.
(00:53):
Coral is so queer because show Time is here. So oh,
it is a curl show. I am carell Happy Tuesday,
June sixteenth, So very glad you are joining me on
this whirlwind cavalcade. Well, another first for Donald Trump. Not
the cage match, not the guy calling Obama Michelle Obama man,
(01:17):
he should she should sue him, by the way, none
of that. No, no, no, no, no. In a first
for Donald Trump and the United States, we have surrendered. Now.
I've been watching the Lincoln documentary on Netflix and it
really shows the problems that Lincoln had with the Civil
War and how there were many times that we almost
(01:40):
lost it, and a few times we could have won
it if his generals would have behaved like he wanted to,
particularly this one named Warren, who could have put an
end to Lee and didn't and subsequently got fired right
after the midterms. But that being said, you know, ancient
history repeats itself. It does. We did not surrender. We
(02:04):
did after you know, Appomattox was a horrible massacre. We
did not surrender. In fact, we won the Union one
at Appomatics. And by the way, as I'm watching this documentary,
all I can do is go back to my show
that tells you that we the United States ended in
eighteen sixty one, when they show the map of the
(02:24):
Confederacy and it's red. The Confederacy was red. The color
of the Confederacy was red, and the North was blue.
That's where that came from, by the way, from the Confederacy.
And when you see the colors over the states that
were the Confederate states, it's the exact same states right
now that give us all the crap that pull us back,
(02:47):
that remain ignorant, that are filled with inbred backwoods hicks,
whether they're in the city or whether they're out in
the backwoods, and it is the birthplace of Maga. And
it started in eighteen sixty one, and it looks just
like it did now. When you look at a map
of Confederate states, they're all red. And what do you see?
(03:11):
A red Florida, a red Alabama, a red you know,
a red Georgia, a red Louisiana, a red Texas, a
red Kentucky, a red Tennessee. You see the exact same
red states that you see now, except on the maps.
In this show, they were read because they were the Confederacy.
On the maps nowadays they're red because they're mega. And
(03:33):
you want to tell me that Maga in the same, honey,
it's the same. It's the exact same. And so we
never surrendered the Union the North. And there were several
times that things looked bleak during the American Revolution. George Washington,
(03:54):
freezing cold alone, starving on the Potomac, never surrendered. And
yet today the United States surrendered to Iran. Because that
is what happened. That is what's in this deal. The
United States has surrendered to Iran. We have given them
almost everything they want. They still have the Ayatota holmony,
(04:18):
just a different one, and he hates us. We killed
his wife, his child and took his leg and his father.
Now maybe he didn't like his father, but he liked
his leg and assuming he liked his wife and kid.
So now we have a further to the right, pissed
off dictator in Iran who is not going to treat
his people any better. There is no nuclear solution on
(04:43):
the table. There is talking about a nuclear solution in
sixty days. In order to reopen the Strait of Hormouth,
we have to release the money that we froze that
belongs to Iran, thirty billion dollars. They lost ten thousand people.
(05:04):
According to some estimates, between five and ten thousand people
died in Iran, and America has lost over one hundred
people in this war. And for what for the United
States to surrender? Because that's what this deal is, the
(05:26):
deal that nobody's read, the deal that allegedly has been signed.
This man makes an enormous, enormous production out of signing
you know a check. I mean this guy whenever he
signs anything, he makes it an enormous production. But this deal,
now this signs it and sent it on.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Why Because if you're really corell dot com daily.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You're missing out.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Get the podcast videos in the blug including recipes at
really corell dot com.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
That's k r e l dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Show Time is here. No time to fear. Corrill is
so near because showtime is here. So on with the show.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Let's give it a go. Corrill is the one that
you need to know.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
And by the way, what Summer calling a deal, I
just call a payoff, because that's what it is. It's
a payoff. We are paying Iran to open the Strait
of Hormuth. That's that's what's happening. Let's stop sugarcoating all
this bullshit. Okay, this is a sad day in America.
He started a war with a pissant little country in
(06:40):
the Middle East and it beat our ass And every
account says that Iran is now in a much larger
geopolitical position than it used to be because it beat
the United States. Read it in the BBC, read it
in the Guardian, in the Irish Times, in the hint
Do Times, and read it all over the world except
(07:04):
in the Donald Trump controlled media of the United States CBS.
They're reporting what a great victory this is. It is
not a victory. He started a war and now he
has surrendered and we flip the bill. This is going
to cost us billions, all told, not him, us, You
(07:28):
and I and we ain't got the money we broke.
We deficit financing, honey. Everything in this country right now
is happening on a credit card at high percent interest.
So you know what we broke, and he broke us.
And now we have surrendered to Iran. To Iran, of
all countries, you know, maybe losing to Russia or China
(07:50):
our but to lose to Iran because they control an
eighty bity piece of ocean called the Strait of Hormouth.
If the world depends on that strait so much, then
the world needs to do business another way. That's like
relying only one drug dealer. That's just ridiculous. Any drug
(08:12):
addict will tell you got your main dealer, and then
you got your backup dealer, and then you got your backup,
backup dealer, and then you got the worst. Like with
pot when we lived in California before it was legal,
I had my pot dealer and she was fabulous. If
I couldn't get a hold of her, I had a
few other friends that I could call and probably get
some until I could get a hold of her. If
(08:33):
all out failed, we could drive through the Alley in Anaheim.
Everybody knew of it. It was behind Disneyland in an
apartment complex called and it was called the Alley, and
everybody knew about the alley. Or you could go to
Venice Beach and just score off the street, but you
never knew what you were gonna get. Sometimes one time
Ken and I got pine needles. But you know, and
(08:57):
that's the exact same thing. If oil is our rug
of choice, then having it, having it rely on that
one little stretch of waterway, that's just dumb. That's stupid.
So we're paying off the Iranians. We are surrendering, and
hopefully this will be over, will be billions more dollars
(09:20):
in debt. He's gonna hail it as a victory. We
all know that it's not. And there you have it.
That's what's happening in the world news today. He's over
meeting at the G five or G seven or whatever
it is, and I'm just embarrassed to have him there.
And every leader there knows that the United States is
surrendering to Iran. They read their own press. No one's
(09:44):
seen the actual draft of this deal, and I'm telling
you right now, I don't think it's gonna go through.
I think between now and Friday it's gonna blow up.
You wait and see why Israel. Israel has become the
scum of the earth. And I'll say it out loud.
The country of Israel, not the people, the country, the
(10:06):
leadership Metan Yahoo. Just like Trump has destroyed America, Netan
Yahoo has destroyed Israel. He won't get out of Lemaddan,
he won't adhere to the peace agreement. He committed genocide
in the West Bank and Gaza, which he still hasn't
been held accounted for. He is a war criminal Netanyahu
(10:28):
who has committed genocide, and he has destroyed the respect
the world once had for Israel. I have no respect
for Israel. None. None. I don't even care if it
remains a country. And I mean that, I really don't
after what Netanyahu has done, committed genocide, killed hundreds of
thousands of people, and continues to kill innocent civilians today. Also,
(10:54):
he can wipe out Hamas, which he will never ever
do because Hamas is an ideology and you can can't
wipe that out, just like we couldn't wipe out al Qaeda.
You can't wipe out an ideology just by killing a
bunch of people. We could kill every maggot in this
country and MAGA would still endure because you can't wipe
(11:14):
out an ideology. They tried to kill every Nazi in Germany.
Nazism still exists. There are still Nazis, so you know
you can't. He'll never get rid of Hamas. So that's
what's happening. And it's fucked up, and I don't like it.
You don't like it. It ruins our day to think
(11:36):
about it. That's just the way it is. But today
the United States has surrendered. Our only hope is that
Donald Trump's medical conditions take over and he has to
leave office, and then JD. Vance takes over right around
the mid terms and we get a Democratic House and
Senate and they impeach JD. Vance and put the Democratic
(11:57):
Speaker of the House in as president. That's our only hope. Otherwise,
for the next three years, it's gonna get worse and
worse and worse. Even with a Democratic House and Senate,
they'll find ways. They're evil people every day now. So
that's why I just you know what this morning, Mobile Alabama,
(12:18):
they're gonna take down their pride flags because one preacher complained.
Fuck that preacher. You know, who the hell cares what
some guy that believes in the fictitious God has to
say or complain about. But now they just cave. When
it comes to gay issues. No one stands up for us.
No city or state says, fuck you, we're leaving up
(12:39):
our flags. You don't like it, move, No one does that.
They all just cave, Just like Trump. He caved, he surrendered.
Oh he won't call it that. He'll say that he's
the victor. He's not. Now he says he's gonna work
on Ukraine and do what he can. Well, that's nothing.
(13:00):
You've been in for a year. You've talked to Putin
over and over and over again. You can't do anything
because you're an impotent, eighty year old, demented idiot that
nobody respects. So there we have it. That's life as
we have it, you know. And so in you know,
(13:21):
inflation is you know, soaring, and they think this is
going to help the Iran deal. It's not gonna help,
you know, it's it's not gonna help all prices will
come down a little. They're going to try to make
prices come down before the midterm so people aren't so upset.
But please, But if you heard the news Elon Musk
(13:43):
is now a trillionaire and your four oh one K
could be in trouble because of it. Yep, I told
you this whole SpaceX thing was bad. But now if
you I asked chat GPT this morning, I said, why
are four oh one ks in danger because of the SpaceX?
You know what what happened? Why are they in danger?
(14:07):
And I got an answer from chat GPT uh, and
it wasn't a good one, you know. But basically it
has to do with the way that your four oh
one K, how it uh has to invest in certain things,
you know? And I don't here. I'll have to read
(14:29):
you the answer because if I if I knew about
all this bullshit, i'd i'd own stock. I don't have
a four oh one K. Forty four percent of Americans
don't have a four oh one K. But if you
do have a four oh one K, let's see. Uh.
Some analysis are worried that millions of retirement investors could
be exposed to SpaceX much sooner than normal because major
(14:53):
stock indexes changed their rules ahead of the IPO, they
change their rules for SpaceX. Most furrow one k's own
index funds. Many retirement plans are invested in funds that
track indexes, such as the NASDAQ one hundred, Russell indexes
or the S and P five hundred. When an index
adds a stock, the funds tracking that index must buy
(15:17):
it okay, so at roughly one point seventy five trillion valuation,
SpaceX debuted as the world's largest company. Nasdaq shortened its
waiting period to fifteen days for inclusion the FTSC Russell
allows entry as few as five trading days. Critics argue
(15:40):
those charge changes were made partly because space SESSE is
so large and in such demand. The concern is SpaceX
is not yet profitable and has warned investors that profitability
may never occur. People rush to buy stock into a
company that may never ever be profitable. Some experts worry
(16:01):
that index funds could be forced to buy shares during
a period of intense hype and uncertain valuation in a
company that may never become profitable. So your four oh
one K could actually be at risk because of SpaceX
Because four O one ks have to buy into index funds,
(16:26):
and the stock exchanges changed their rules for SpaceX, so
it will be an index fund within fifteen days. Hey.
That great. Hey, but Elon Musk is a jillionaire. You
might lose a bunch of money in your four A
one k, but Elon Musk is a trillionaire. So there
(16:49):
you have it, all right? Is that enough horror for
the day? Have you had enough? Because I've had enough?
You know, I've I've had Have you had enough? Because
there's a much bigger controversy going on that I very
very much want to talk about. There really is, uh
(17:11):
and it's one that I got directly involved in online
because it was it all started, Okay, it all started
because I absolutely love an adore Jamie Lee Curtis and
Mariska Arkite. Okay, I adore them, and so it all
(17:31):
started because I adore them. And you're like, well, what
what giant controversy could there be about Mariska Hargitay? And sorry,
it's getting some things on the desktop here. So there
is a big controversy going on, and it's one that
I am uniquely qualified to speak about.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
So let me play you this piece of video here
that explains the controversy. This was said by Jamie the
Curtis to Mariska Hargitay, okay, and then we'll talk water
in the next half hour. But listen to this.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
You explained to me that you were making a doc.
You explained to me that you had come back to
Los Angeles, that you had gone through the beginning of
the storage unit.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Because you just said Los Angeles, Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
We had this argument and I says, los Angeles, okay,
but what do you call it? Los Felis?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yes, but we're not talking about feelings. You don't say loss, and.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Let's say Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And if I had like a jury here, everyone would.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Vote for me. Go ahead, hey, feeling. But from now on,
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Okay, somebody you probably live there. Do you live there?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
In a lous do you say los Angeles?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Angelebody says that, okay.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Well, any guys, please God, let's move on. Please got
move on. But I apologize. I was with the fact
that when you said it, I go like this, You're saying,
deep I am, I'm.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Like, I know, It's okay, you can laugh.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
You explained all right, there we have it, so I
posted underneath that Jamie Lee Curtis is right. It's Los
and heals. That's how you say it, Los Angeles. That's
how you say the city's name. Now a little bit
of background, okay, Or if you must say Angelus, you
(19:24):
can say Los Angelus. Now a little bit of background.
In nineteen fifty two, the mayor at daily of Los
Los Angeles, the mayor I live in Las Vegas. I
have lost on the mind. The mayor of Los Angeles
got a group of linguists together, all of them white,
(19:45):
to because there was such controversy about how to say
the city's name, and they all decided it was Loss
Los Loss. But there's still an a sound in there,
and that's wrong. Now most of California is named with
(20:05):
Hispanic names, okay. And I realized that Americans don't like
to adhere to, or pay tribute to, or be confined
by what another language sounds like. But the fact is
the name of the city is Los l long O
(20:26):
s on Helays. And if you must say Angelus, if
you're just so stupid you can't say on Heileas, then okay,
it's still Los l O s. I don't care what
a panel in nineteen fifty two said they were wrong.
I don't care what. Most of Americans say, they're wrong.
(20:47):
The pronuncia just like when you live there, you say
Los Felis, which is still wrong. It should be Los Felice,
but whatever, but they say it. And he used to
drive me crazy. In Long Beach. There is a street there,
j u n I p e r oh. How would
you all pronounce that? J U n I E p
r O. J u n I p e r O.
(21:08):
How would you pronounce I'll tell you one thing. It's
not want a pair of that means wanted is doll?
How would you pronounce it? I'll tell you now.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
It show.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
All right. We are back in Los Vegas loss because
Vegas as las. There are rules in Espanol. The male
pejorative is lows. Okay, l o s means the for
a masculine word, Okay, l o s lows loose. So
(22:03):
Jamie Lee Curtis is right. It's lows and hales. And
if you must say Angelus, then say it. But it's
still Los Angelus. It is just like Louis Felis, and
it's not San raffel is it. I believe it's San Raphael.
Isn't there an ae in there? Or is it our
a f e l You know? I mean, this is
(22:25):
how these things are pronounced. And so this argument and
before the break, I said j u n I p
e r O. In Long Beach, everybody says who Nippero.
I'm sorry, everyone says Juanapao. Everybody, and I'll always look
at them and say, what street is that? You know? Wanapao?
(22:45):
Nojuanapao would be j u a n y p e
r r o, and it would mean one and his
dog who Nippero? J u n I p e r
oh is the name of who Nippero Sarah, who established
all of the missions in California and is the namesake
(23:05):
of the street. The same with Heimino. Everybody in Long
Beach says x semino x I m e n o,
Except x I m e n O is not pronounced
x mino. First of all, there's no x sound in Espanol.
Second of all, the i is not pronounced i, and
the e is not pronounced e. It's jimeno, x I
(23:29):
m e n o is Hemino. It is not xemino,
it's los and haalays. It's hounipero, it's a hemino. And
I'm sure there are places where you live that everybody
mispronounces and they think they're just pronouncing it right. They're not.
(23:50):
Americans show their ignorance all the time by getting stuff
wrong and acting like it's right. Oh, I live in
Los Angeles. No, you don't. Ain't no city named Los
Angeles Las Angelus. There is no city named Las Angelus.
Angels is a male on heals. Angels is a male
(24:12):
pejorative word an Espanol, or it'd be angelas, that'd be
a female angel onjilas female angel and helays male angel
Los and Los Angeles. The angels l Sudad de Los
Angeles if you're American, or if you're Espanol elcidad, or
(24:37):
you can say lasio dada if you want, but it's
Elsiodad de Los Angeles. That's how it is. So Jamie
Lee is right and Mariska Hargete is wrong. And the
over two hundred commenters that have commented on my post
where I phonetically sounded it out underneath that say, no,
(24:58):
it's not it's loss. No, it's not just because some
white group of people in the fifties said it was
it's not. That's what I hate about America. We we
accept wrong things as right, and that just extends out
to every part of our lives. We accept wrong things
(25:19):
as right. And it starts with speech. You know, it
starts with speech. Good Lord, all right, los los los
and halays, how do you pronounce it wrong? Probably a
(25:41):
lot of you are in the Bay Area. It's not
is it? Is it san? How do they sell spell
San Rafel? Because I always thought it was San Rafael,
but maybe there's no e. Is it san Rafel san
r a F e L. Nope, it's a E L. Right,
So it's not San Rafel, It's it's son Rafael. That's
(26:05):
what it is. Son Raphael. That's the name of the city.
It is not San Rafel, It's son Raphael. That's what
it is. First of all, A in Espanol is not a.
It's a. It's so it's Sun son Rafael, that's what
it is. Oh Lord. So California has a whole bunch
(26:29):
of cities that just everybody mispronounces and they're well, we're
not in Mexico. It was part of Mexico. You rube.
These people are like, well, it's America. It's not part
of Mexico. It was part of Mexico. It was literally
named after Mexicans. God, have a little respect for culture,
(26:51):
can't we? I mean just a little. Can we at
least have a little tardy bit of respect for culture?
Just you know? It is Son Rafael, That's what it is.
I've heard so many people on kg O call Hi,
I'm calling from San Rafel. No you're not. That'd be
(27:15):
like SSA n R A f E L Son Rafael.
But that's not what the city is named. It's and Song,
I believe means Saint. I think it means Saint. I
think I have to look it up, so it would
be Saint Raphael. That's what the city would be named after.
(27:37):
So Son, I believe means Saint. I have to look
it up. Come as ay DC and espanel Saint anybody
anybody out there, anyone is fluent is s An in Spanish? Saint?
Or is that Santa? Son is the male version of Saint.
(27:57):
I was right. Santa is a female saint and Son
is a male saint. So Son Raphael is the male
Saint Raphael. That's what it is. His name is not Rafael.
Don't go renaming your saints. Okay, So it's son Rafael,
(28:17):
good Lord in Heaven, all right. Santa is a female saint,
Song is a male saint. Santo could be uh, but
I doubt it. Santo means something else. I think it
means sacred. So yeah, son means saint in Spanish. It's
the short masculine version of the word santo, so the
(28:42):
entire so santo male saint. They shorten it to son
Santa female saint by that, thinking Santa Claus is a female,
is a woman. But Santa Claus is not an estoniel,
so then yeah, Claus would be a female Santa Santa Claus.
(29:05):
But again we get everything wrong. He loath and hello Fan, Napael,
Fanta Maria, send me guidance every day. I pray thobodya
send me guy, didn't send me Gui didn't pretty please.

Corell cast on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
He was you're listening to the corell cast driving you
home or driving you crazy. It's broadcasting from a completely
different point of view.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yours listen daily to the.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
Corell cast on your favorite streaming service. You're listening to
the Carille cast driving you home or driving you crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
And this is what's wrong with our country. It really
is we and the world. Because you know, I really
believe Jack Nicholson was right. Whoever wrote that scene. We
can't handle the truth. We can't. Christians cannot handle that.
Jesus Christ, well, first of all, didn't exist. They can't
handle that. But if he did exist, he would not
(30:40):
have looked like Brad Pitt or even my boy Sam
Wolf or Sam Ryder, who's doing him in Jesus Christ
Superstar over in the UK, who over and says, oh,
he looks so much like Jesus. No, he looks like
the zigzag man. He doesn't look like Jesus. Jesus would
look like a long haired Palestinian. That's what Jesus would
look like, because that's who he was. He was a
Jew from the Palestinian region, and he would have dark complexion.
(31:04):
He would look like the guy at the convenience smart,
you know, that's what Christ would look like. He would
look like the gentleman perhaps at the Kosher deli, like
a Hasidic Jew. He would look like an Arab because
he was an Arab. Okay, he would not look like
Brad Pitt. That is not what Christ would look like
(31:26):
if he existed. He did not, but if he did exist,
he would not look like Brad Pitt with long hair.
He would look like Ronnie Mallik or you know Pickin
Asian Kamal what's his name that he just got buff,
you know, man Johnny, that's who he'd look like. Hassan Piker.
(31:47):
He'd looked like Hassan Piker, who's very handsome. But he
would not look like Brad Pitt. So we get that wrong.
The basic fundamental of their faith, okay, the image of
Jesus in their head, and it's wrong. That's not what
he would look like. Okay, he'd look more black. He
(32:11):
would be closely more related to blacks than he would
be to whites. So that is not what he would
look like. It's loose, not lost. It's San Raphael, not
San Rafel. Christ does not look like Brad Pitt. We
could probably do a whole show of stuff society gets wrong.
(32:35):
And that's the problem. If you repeat something wrong long enough,
it becomes right. And that's the problem. You repeat a
lie or a half truth or something that's just wrong,
and you repeat it long enough and it becomes accepted
as fact even though it's not. And that's the danger
(33:01):
of social media because it repeats wrong things all day long,
very quickly, and suddenly those wrong things become fact. I
am in full full compliance and agreement with them banning
social media for kids in the UK and Australia. I
wish we'd do it here. So there's a lot of
(33:24):
things I'd love for your comments down below. What city
or streets do people in your area mispronounce or what
facts do we just get wrong? Like the Jesus myth,
he would not look like Brad Pitt. We mispronounced things,
we mislabel things, we miss gender things. I mean, if
(33:45):
there were a god, it'd be a woman. Only a
woman can create and only a man would think that
a god would be a man. Only a woman could
create people. Oh they need a man. A god wouldn't
if By the way, if there were a god, it
would be a hermaphrodite. It would be both sexes because
(34:07):
it created people without having sex. Therefore it would be
you know, both genders, because it created human life without
anyone else being involved. It had to be both genders.
God would have been asexual or hermaphrodite. Basically, Well, they
(34:32):
don't like to hear that either, do they. But it's true.
So we get a lot wrong. And I'd love to
see your comments down below about things that we accept
as right that are wrong. Everyone just accepts. People say
in Los Angeles that everyone just accepts it Los Angeles.
It's not Los Angeles, it's lose. Everyone accepts people saying
(34:55):
other words wrong, Sam Raphael, just other words, lots of
other words. They say them wrong, and everyone thinks it's okay.
It's not a thing. Everyone accepts that Jesus with white
he's wrong. He wouldn't have been, he never would and
that the danger of modern day society. Lives get repeated
so quickly and so much that we accept them. Effect

Let's give go. Correll is the one that you need
to know.
Speaker 5 (35:50):
Well, we are back at the Correl show. So very
glad you are joining me. You are here, We are
joined at the hip. Let's see what's going on here.
I need to pull up this story and it's not
pulling up properly. And I don't know why. Something is
just wrong. Things are always going wrong these days. I
(36:13):
don't know why, but they are. Save all Come on,
open God. I hate when technology fails, you, I really do.
All right, So there is a war being fought already.
Most of you are not aware of it, and I'm
going to tell you about it. Okay, So I tell
(36:36):
you a lot about it, but we're gonna make a
topic out of it today. Water in the Colorado River
is dwindling to levels that haven't been seen in decades decades,
children and the seven states seven that rely on the
river can't agree on a fair way to divide up
what's left. Negotiations are going no despite more than six
(37:02):
months six months of ongoing talks, plus cajoling by the
Trump administration, which twice gathered governors in hopes of a
breakthrough that never came. States are already sniping at aspects
of water use plans from the Federal Bureau of Reclamation,
which is set to unveil this summer and impose later
(37:24):
this year, and they're threatening to sue each other over
water deliveries, raising the prospects of prolonged legal battles, just
as Western states face demand to sharply reduce water use.
The River's system of reservoirs and canals was designed for
the climate and population a century ago. It has strained
(37:44):
to adapt to a declining water supply and enormous growth
in communities in the river basin. Despite improvements and efficiency
that mean even booming cities are using less water than
in the past. Water rights that may date back to
the arrival of your European settlers also complicate the matters,
and a year of extreme drought is making it even
(38:06):
harder to decide how much each state can draw from
the Colorado Now. It's not from a lack of effort.
We have invested time, effort, and money in trying to
facilitate a multi state agreement, says Scott Cameron, the acting
Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation. In an interview this month,
he said, moments after signaling a deal that could one
(38:27):
day augment the basin's supply, using desalinated water from a
plant in Carlsbad, California, which we desperately need. But a
day later, mister Cameron told a conference of water experts
in Boulder that states have repeatedly rejected proposals for compromise.
He said he doesn't expect any state to be pleased
with the measures the federal government is expected to take
(38:50):
to delay or prevent reservoirs from dropping to critical lows.
In the short term. Lake meat already is. It's a
thirty percent children. I think we've succeeded in making everyone
unhappy and maybe making everyone mad. About forty million people
and five and a half million acres of cropland depend
on the Colorado for drinking water and irrigation, but its
(39:13):
flow has gradually diminished over the past two decades as
the climate becomes warmer and more arid across the West. Now,
the arcane system of water rights governing the river and
titles each state and Mexico to far more water than
is actually available. The rules prioritize the longest established uses
of water, dating back to the eighteen fifties and the
(39:37):
eighteen sixties, but the states have been unable to agree
upon water cuts that would reflect this new reality. In
the river's lower basin, which includes urban areas in California, Arizona,
and Nevada, vast agricultural operations, and the nation's largest reservoir,
(39:57):
Lake Mead, which I live right next to, the nation's
largest reservoir, communities have agreed to significant reductions in recent years.
A new proposal that the states are asking the federal
government to consider would curtail even more, but the lower
basin states and tribal nations have asked upstream communities in
New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming to cut back two
(40:21):
But any time winter snowpack in the river's hedgewaters is meager,
the upper basin is forced to use less water, so
those states have resisted committing to permanent, annual water cuts.
While in nineteen twenty two, a one hundred and four
year old compact divides the United States share of the
rivers flow equally between the two basins, the less populated
(40:43):
upper basin consumes less water each year than the lower basin.
The stalemate between the basins has deepened as the stakes rise.
An existing water use plan expired this winter, and the
states missed key deadlines to agree on a new one,
which must be in place by October to avoid chaos
(41:04):
and confusion in water delivery. A mild winter and extreme
spring heat left winter snowpack so depleted that Lake Powell,
the nation's second largest reservoir, which straddles the Upper and
Lower Basins, wrisked falling below critical levels for hydro power
until federal officials began emergency actions to shift water around
(41:27):
and keep the dam generating electricity. So far, Trump officials
have resisted imposing any plan, though mister Cameron said the
Bureau had not been passive. It has offered four hundred
and fifty million dollars for water conservation projects across the basin,
using money left over from the Inflation Reduction Act, which
was passed under President Biden and included four billion for
(41:50):
drought response in the West. Mister Cameron said less than
one hundred million is left to help pay for more
water savings. We have floated three times punn in tended
solutions that we thought represented something that the seven states
could agree upon. Turns out they can't. With the states
unable to agree, the federal government is set to put
(42:11):
new guidelines in place. The new Interior Secretary Doug Bergham,
who I think ran a convenience store before, whose department
includes the Reclamation Bureau, to release a plan in July
to govern the use of the river for the next decade.
Before that plan becomes final, it would need approval from
the White House. A draft plan released in January included
(42:32):
a range of options, some of which would make significant
cuts across the lower basin, where the federal government's control
of the reservoirs gives it more powers to cut off flows.
The alternatives would force water shortages mostly in the lower
basin based upon reservoir conditions. This includes various levels of
cutbacks that would leave some risk of unplanned emergency water
(42:54):
shortages in the lower basin. Arizona is especially vulnerable because
of its heavy reliance on the reservoirs and its relatively
junior water rights. The federal plan would include room for
tweaks and negotiations every two years, but state officials from
across the region said that could make things worse. The
biggest problem is that reopening the whole plan every two
(43:17):
years would undermine any certainty over water supplies. As the
talks continue to stall, the threat of litigation is looming
bigger and bigger, even though negotiators have said they are
hoping to avoid court battles that would undoubtedly be lengthy, costly,
and unpredictable. Senator Mike Lee of Utah warren Wednesday on
(43:40):
Capitol Hill that he would seek to block federal drought
relief funds from any state that sue over the Colorado River.
Water in Arizona and Colorado, state officials have been readying
lawyers and setting aside public funds for a legal battle
over the water. Early this year, Television ads paid for
by a coalition of Arizona water uses warn that the
(44:02):
state is being targeted for crippling cuts. In public comments
submitted in response, the states have hinted at contradictory legal
interpretations of this nineteen twenty two compact, offer dueling arguments
that both suggest that the Trump administration was at risk
of violating the document. Arizona officials said the federal plan
(44:22):
would improperly prioritize maintaining Lake Powell at the expense of
downstream releases, including Lake Mead. Focusing on legal arguments could
keep the states from reaching a compromise because the nineteen
twenty two agreement is only seventeen hundred words long. Mister
Ensminger of Nevada suggested that the states might never agree
(44:46):
on what exactly of them, which what they're entitled to,
and that was all the more reason for them to
find common ground. The only way we're ever going to
have any certainty is the Supreme Court. That way you
avoid everything else. Drought has raised the alarm across Colorado
Basin River many times over the last quarter century, but
(45:09):
the current drought is arriving at a critical time for
states to adapt. Major water shortages are arriving at the
same time as the long awaited deadline to develop a
new river management plan. At a recent conference of Colorado
River officials, people were struck about the difficult task that remains,
even though everyone who relies on the river agrees that
someone needs to take some action and that people are
(45:32):
going to have to do with less water. There is
even talk of rationing in the lower basin states, including Nevada, Arizona, California,
and Utah. Well, there you have it. They've mentioned the
words rationing. Yep, Look, I live here, Okay, I live
(45:58):
in Nevada, and I'm telling you right now it is
far worse than you guys think. In the Bay Area wherever,
it is far worse than you think. There is no
fucking water, and the Las Vegas just keeps building. You know,
a moratorium. I believe it was in Switzerland. They were
(46:20):
going to cap their population at ten million. They just
went to the polls to vote about it. Now it failed,
but they wanted to cap their population at ten million.
At ten million, no one else could come, no immigrants, nothing,
We're done, We're full. I have maintained for the longest time,
Las Vegas is full. There's too many people here. There's
(46:42):
not enough water, not enough space, there's too much concrete.
Every time you build something, you put more concrete down.
You're just increasing the temperature. You're causing rapid climate change.
And there's no fucking water. If I were the governor
of the state of Nevada, I would put a population
limit on the Las Vegas Valley. I would. I know
(47:05):
it would be unpopular, but it doesn't matter. There's no
water and we are going to start rationing. You wait,
and because there's no water, we're going to run out.
Everyone says. The strip, the strip. The strip only uses
three percent of Las Vegas's water. That's it three percent.
(47:25):
They are so good at recycling over there, the Belagio,
the fountains, that water doesn't even come from Lake Mead.
The water and the Bolagio fountains come from their own spring.
They have their own spring for that water, so it
does not come from Lake Mead or the Colorado River.
So the casinos and the strip have done a stellar job.
(47:50):
Las Vegas itself takes very little water from Lake Mead.
And yet this morning I was at Desert Breeze Park
at seven am, and every spring in the park was on.
Sprinklers are the worst form of irrigation. They waste more
water than they give to the plants. Why we still
(48:11):
use them on public land is beyond me. There are
better ways to water the grass more water efficient. A
drip irrigation system should be installed in every public park
that has grass. This sprinkler just the water evaporates half
the time before it even hits to It was ninety
two degrees on our walk this morning. It is one
(48:33):
hundred and one outside already right now. So the water
just evaporates. But there's no solutions. Their solution is cut back.
That is not an answer to our water problem. Cutting
back is not going to bring water to the west.
The Colorado is drying up. It is going to dry
(48:57):
up either we find a way to flood the Colorado
River with water from the east coast, with rainwater that
we corrupt. There's gonna be flooding all week long across
the country, flooding, billions of gallons of water coming down,
and we don't save it, we don't collect it. We
just let it run off and cause mud slides. In California,
(49:20):
there's gonna be record rain because of the Super al Nino.
Where's all that water gonna go right back into the ocean.
It's not gonna be collected. There's no reservoirs to collect
the rain water. We have not built for the climate. Why,
because we've been so busy dicking around with where a
trans person peas, whether or not a gay person can
(49:41):
get married, what rights an immigrant may or may not have,
who gets healthcare and who doesn't. We have been so
preoccupied with God, guns and gays that the real issues
of the day, like fucking water that we cannot live without,
(50:04):
have been ignored. And now their answer, use less. No,
you know, I'm not going to use less fucking water.
That's on you. That's like yesterday, my thermostat my nest,
it set the temperature to eighty one and it said, oh,
it's rush hour and that's seven to eight when a
(50:24):
lot of electricity is being used. And it said, you know,
too much electricity is being used right now, we've cut
your air conditioner back to eighty one. I turned it
promptly back down to seventy six and said, fuck you.
We get more energy from the sun every day than
we need for a five thousand years. If you can't
find a way to capture that and get it to me,
that's on you. But I'm not going to be an
(50:46):
eighty one degree heat in my house.
Speaker 4 (50:52):
Stay now is show side?
Speaker 5 (51:08):
You know? This morning I had to do one of
my least favorite jobs. So I have this great device
called a HEMI. G e me, okay, a HEMI, And
it's a composter the size of a trash can. Okay,
it's great. It's out of my patio and you just
throw the scraps in it and it turns them into dirt.
It's just a wonderful device. And that keeps food scraps
(51:32):
out of the trash because they don't decompose quickly in
a landfill because they're in plastic and everything else, and
then they cause way too much methane gas and it's
a problem. No one should be throwing food waste away, period,
end of story. There should be separate trash cans like
there are in some city for compostable trash. Okay, no
(51:54):
one should just be putting food in the regular trash
and today, so I have found if you just throw
the food in the banana peels to orange peels and
all of that, that they're big and it takes a
long time for it to break down. But if you
grind it up first in your food processor, then it
(52:17):
turns into mash already, and you put that in and
it composts quickly. But it's a very messy and horrible job.
And I hate it because I store up a jar
full of composting stuff, you know, strawberry stuff, the tops
of strawberries, and any leftover food, my tea, you know
the tea that I have every day. All of that,
you just anything organic things that go bad in the refrigerator,
(52:41):
Ember's poop that goes in the composter as well. So
I have this big jar that might or plastic tub.
That my two pounds of protein powder, which we're running
out of by the way, you non vegans, they're running
out of weigh protein powder because of all your craze
about protein. But anyway, so I have that, and so
(53:03):
every couple of days it fills up, and so I
dump that into the food processor and turn it on. Well,
it often gets stuck because of watermelon rhine or cantalope
rine or whatever, and I have to like dig in there. Oh,
it's just a mess. And today I said to myself,
why am I doing this? Why am I doing this?
(53:24):
I'm not gonna save the planet by doing this. You know,
corporations are the ones that are robbing and raping the
planet with impunity. Nesley is buying up all the water,
So why do I care if I take a five
minute fucking shower. Pretty Soon none of us are going
to be able to afford water, because it's going to
be owned by corporations, because we are stupidly sitting by
(53:45):
and letting people privatize water. That is the dumbest and
it's the most short sighted. And if I were president,
I would I would exercise eminent domain over every bit
of water and tell every corporation they don't own it.
If I were president, I would sign an executive order
that America owns every bit of water in America. The
(54:08):
US government owns it, not any corporation. But I'm not president,
and you know, I just think to myself, you, oh,
take a short shower. Why They've had seventy years to
fix the water problem in the West and they have
ignored it. And now their answer is for me to
(54:31):
take a three minute shower. Fuck you, I'm only on
planet Earth one time. This is it, It's all I got.
This is my time on the planet. And you want
to tell me that I need to deprive myself of electricity,
deprive myself of air conditioning, deprive myself of a long shower. Why,
Because you didn't prepare for the needs of the people.
(54:53):
Electricity being scarce or expensive is a failure of government.
There is more power from the sun every day that
washes over a planet Earth than we could use in
five thousand years. If we just captured the energy from
(55:14):
one day of sunlight, we would all have as much
power as we want for the rest of our lives.
The same with water. There is more water on the
planet than we need. It's just in the wrong place.
We need to redistribute it, but we won't. We'll build
(55:35):
pipelines for oil, but not for water. The ocean is rising.
We know this, well, we could use some of that water,
couldn't we Well, desalinization is expensive. It's this. It's that
I don't fucking care. We can't live without water. That
we should spend more money on water than anything else
(55:55):
other than air and food, which they're all related. You
gotta have water and air for food, it's all related.
That should be what we spend money on. That's it water, air, food, housing,
that's it power, Internet, That's what the federal government should
spend money on. Getting everybody internet, getting everybody electricity, getting
(56:18):
everybody drinkable water, and making sure there's a supply of
water for the people. That's all governments should really care about.
Stay the fuck out of abortion, same sex marriage, trans
people and where they pee, and make sure that when
I go into the bathroom, I don't worry about a
trans person, and I worry, you know about the water.
(56:39):
But no, no, you know so yeah, So when it
comes to conservation, I'm a bit of a curmudgeon. Now
I used to conserve everything. I mean, I wash all
of my plastic bags, my ziplock bags. I don't throw
them away. I wash them and use them until they're
(56:59):
just done. I have a composter on my patio and
I grind up left. Can you know how horrible it
smells after food has been in a container for four
days and you throw it into a processor and just
liquid in there that God knows what it is, and
you know, you spin it about and then you got
to scoop it into your ear. And I thought, why
am I doing this? No one else does it? No
one else cares about the environment. Everyone's like, fuck the environment.
(57:22):
I just can't. I don't like organic waste in my trash.
It stinks, and I don't like it. The same with
my shower. I take short showers anyway. Steve Cabral says,
I take hooker showers. I'm literally done in under three,
about three minutes. I take about three minutes in a shower,
maybe four, not even one song. I never even can
(57:44):
finish one song in the shower. I take quick showers,
always have, so I'm not really and I don't take baths.
I think baths are ridiculous. I don't understand baths. Let's
sit in my own dirt. I'll jacuzzi. If it's a
private jacuzzi, use public jacuzis cause you know the foam
on top, that's their dead skin and body fluids that
(58:05):
are turned in its protein. I have saltwater aquariums, and
you have a protein skimmer in your saltwater aquarium where
the water comes in and it's hit with a whole
bunch of air and then the protein foams up and
goes into the top. Well, that's what's happening in a jacuzzi.
The water's moving about and splashing and air rating, and
the protein in the water creates foam. That's what a foam.
(58:26):
If you ever see a foam me jacuzzi, that's dead
skin and body fluid. That's what it is. It's the protein,
which is why I don't go in. All right, we'll
be back tomorrow for our Wednesday show. I am Corell

It's another first for Donald Trump, and I'm gonna tell

it is a curl show. I am carell Happy Tuesday,
June sixteenth, So very glad you are joining me on
this whirlwind cavalcade. Well, another first for Donald Trump. Not
the cage match, not the guy calling Obama Michelle Obama man,
(01:17):
he should she should sue him, by the way, none
of that. No, no, no, no, no. In a first
for Donald Trump and the United States, we have surrendered. Now.
I've been watching the Lincoln documentary on Netflix and it
really shows the problems that Lincoln had with the Civil
War and how there were many times that we almost
(01:40):
lost it, and a few times we could have won
it if his generals would have behaved like he wanted to,
particularly this one named Warren, who could have put an
end to Lee and didn't and subsequently got fired right
after the midterms. But that being said, you know, ancient
history repeats itself. It does. We did not surrender. We
(02:04):
did after you know, Appomattox was a horrible massacre. We
did not surrender. In fact, we won the Union one
at Appomatics. And by the way, as I'm watching this documentary,
all I can do is go back to my show
that tells you that we the United States ended in
eighteen sixty one, when they show the map of the
(02:24):
Confederacy and it's red. The Confederacy was red. The color
of the Confederacy was red, and the North was blue.
That's where that came from, by the way, from the Confederacy.
And when you see the colors over the states that
were the Confederate states, it's the exact same states right
now that give us all the crap that pull us back,
(02:47):
that remain ignorant, that are filled with inbred backwoods hicks,
whether they're in the city or whether they're out in
the backwoods, and it is the birthplace of Maga. And
it started in eighteen sixty one, and it looks just
like it did now. When you look at a map
of Confederate states, they're all red. And what do you see?
(03:11):
A red Florida, a red Alabama, a red you know,
a red Georgia, a red Louisiana, a red Texas, a
red Kentucky, a red Tennessee. You see the exact same
red states that you see now, except on the maps.
In this show, they were read because they were the Confederacy.
On the maps nowadays they're red because they're mega. And
(03:33):
you want to tell me that Maga in the same, honey,
it's the same. It's the exact same. And so we
never surrendered the Union the North. And there were several
times that things looked bleak during the American Revolution. George Washington,
(03:54):
freezing cold alone, starving on the Potomac, never surrendered. And
yet today the United States surrendered to Iran. Because that
is what happened. That is what's in this deal. The
United States has surrendered to Iran. We have given them
almost everything they want. They still have the Ayatota holmony,
(04:18):
just a different one, and he hates us. We killed
his wife, his child and took his leg and his father.
Now maybe he didn't like his father, but he liked
his leg and assuming he liked his wife and kid.
So now we have a further to the right, pissed
off dictator in Iran who is not going to treat
his people any better. There is no nuclear solution on
(04:43):
the table. There is talking about a nuclear solution in
sixty days. In order to reopen the Strait of Hormouth,
we have to release the money that we froze that
belongs to Iran, thirty billion dollars. They lost ten thousand people.
(05:04):
According to some estimates, between five and ten thousand people
died in Iran, and America has lost over one hundred
people in this war. And for what for the United
States to surrender? Because that's what this deal is, the
(05:26):
deal that nobody's read, the deal that allegedly has been signed.
This man makes an enormous, enormous production out of signing
you know a check. I mean this guy whenever he
signs anything, he makes it an enormous production. But this deal,
now this signs it and sent it on.
Speaker 6 (05:47):
Why Because if you're really corell dot com daily.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
You're missing out.
Speaker 6 (05:54):
Get the podcast videos in the blug including recipes at
really corell dot com.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
That's k r e l dot com.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Show Time is here. No time to fear. Corrill is
so near because showtime is here. So on with the show.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Let's give it a go. Corrill is the one that
you need to know.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
And by the way, what Summer calling a deal, I
just call a payoff, because that's what it is. It's
a payoff. We are paying Iran to open the Strait
of Hormuth. That's that's what's happening. Let's stop sugarcoating all
this bullshit. Okay, this is a sad day in America.
He started a war with a pissant little country in
(06:40):
the Middle East and it beat our ass And every
account says that Iran is now in a much larger
geopolitical position than it used to be because it beat
the United States. Read it in the BBC, read it
in the Guardian, in the Irish Times, in the hint
Do Times, and read it all over the world except
(07:04):
in the Donald Trump controlled media of the United States CBS.
They're reporting what a great victory this is. It is
not a victory. He started a war and now he
has surrendered and we flip the bill. This is going
to cost us billions, all told, not him, us, You
(07:28):
and I and we ain't got the money we broke.
We deficit financing, honey. Everything in this country right now
is happening on a credit card at high percent interest.
So you know what we broke, and he broke us.
And now we have surrendered to Iran. To Iran, of
all countries, you know, maybe losing to Russia or China
(07:50):
our but to lose to Iran because they control an
eighty bity piece of ocean called the Strait of Hormouth.
If the world depends on that strait so much, then
the world needs to do business another way. That's like
relying only one drug dealer. That's just ridiculous. Any drug
(08:12):
addict will tell you got your main dealer, and then
you got your backup dealer, and then you got your backup,
backup dealer, and then you got the worst. Like with
pot when we lived in California before it was legal,
I had my pot dealer and she was fabulous. If
I couldn't get a hold of her, I had a
few other friends that I could call and probably get
some until I could get a hold of her. If
(08:33):
all out failed, we could drive through the Alley in Anaheim.
Everybody knew of it. It was behind Disneyland in an
apartment complex called and it was called the Alley, and
everybody knew about the alley. Or you could go to
Venice Beach and just score off the street, but you
never knew what you were gonna get. Sometimes one time
Ken and I got pine needles. But you know, and
(08:57):
that's the exact same thing. If oil is our rug
of choice, then having it, having it rely on that
one little stretch of waterway, that's just dumb. That's stupid.
So we're paying off the Iranians. We are surrendering, and
hopefully this will be over, will be billions more dollars
(09:20):
in debt. He's gonna hail it as a victory. We
all know that it's not. And there you have it.
That's what's happening in the world news today. He's over
meeting at the G five or G seven or whatever
it is, and I'm just embarrassed to have him there.
And every leader there knows that the United States is
surrendering to Iran. They read their own press. No one's
(09:44):
seen the actual draft of this deal, and I'm telling
you right now, I don't think it's gonna go through.
I think between now and Friday it's gonna blow up.
You wait and see why Israel. Israel has become the
scum of the earth. And I'll say it out loud.
The country of Israel, not the people, the country, the
(10:06):
leadership Metan Yahoo. Just like Trump has destroyed America, Netan
Yahoo has destroyed Israel. He won't get out of Lemaddan,
he won't adhere to the peace agreement. He committed genocide
in the West Bank and Gaza, which he still hasn't
been held accounted for. He is a war criminal Netanyahu
(10:28):
who has committed genocide, and he has destroyed the respect
the world once had for Israel. I have no respect
for Israel. None. None. I don't even care if it
remains a country. And I mean that, I really don't
after what Netanyahu has done, committed genocide, killed hundreds of
thousands of people, and continues to kill innocent civilians today. Also,
(10:54):
he can wipe out Hamas, which he will never ever
do because Hamas is an ideology and you can can't
wipe that out, just like we couldn't wipe out al Qaeda.
You can't wipe out an ideology just by killing a
bunch of people. We could kill every maggot in this
country and MAGA would still endure because you can't wipe
(11:14):
out an ideology. They tried to kill every Nazi in Germany.
Nazism still exists. There are still Nazis, so you know
you can't. He'll never get rid of Hamas. So that's
what's happening. And it's fucked up, and I don't like it.
You don't like it. It ruins our day to think
(11:36):
about it. That's just the way it is. But today
the United States has surrendered. Our only hope is that
Donald Trump's medical conditions take over and he has to
leave office, and then JD. Vance takes over right around
the mid terms and we get a Democratic House and
Senate and they impeach JD. Vance and put the Democratic
(11:57):
Speaker of the House in as president. That's our only hope. Otherwise,
for the next three years, it's gonna get worse and
worse and worse. Even with a Democratic House and Senate,
they'll find ways. They're evil people every day now. So
that's why I just you know what this morning, Mobile Alabama,
(12:18):
they're gonna take down their pride flags because one preacher complained.
Fuck that preacher. You know, who the hell cares what
some guy that believes in the fictitious God has to
say or complain about. But now they just cave. When
it comes to gay issues. No one stands up for us.
No city or state says, fuck you, we're leaving up
(12:39):
our flags. You don't like it, move, No one does that.
They all just cave, Just like Trump. He caved, he surrendered.
Oh he won't call it that. He'll say that he's
the victor. He's not. Now he says he's gonna work
on Ukraine and do what he can. Well, that's nothing.
(13:00):
You've been in for a year. You've talked to Putin
over and over and over again. You can't do anything
because you're an impotent, eighty year old, demented idiot that
nobody respects. So there we have it. That's life as
we have it, you know. And so in you know,
(13:21):
inflation is you know, soaring, and they think this is
going to help the Iran deal. It's not gonna help,
you know, it's it's not gonna help all prices will
come down a little. They're going to try to make
prices come down before the midterm so people aren't so upset.
But please, But if you heard the news Elon Musk
(13:43):
is now a trillionaire and your four oh one K
could be in trouble because of it. Yep, I told
you this whole SpaceX thing was bad. But now if
you I asked chat GPT this morning, I said, why
are four oh one ks in danger because of the SpaceX?
You know what what happened? Why are they in danger?
(14:07):
And I got an answer from chat GPT uh, and
it wasn't a good one, you know. But basically it
has to do with the way that your four oh
one K, how it uh has to invest in certain things,
you know? And I don't here. I'll have to read
(14:29):
you the answer because if I if I knew about
all this bullshit, i'd i'd own stock. I don't have
a four oh one K. Forty four percent of Americans
don't have a four oh one K. But if you
do have a four oh one K, let's see. Uh.
Some analysis are worried that millions of retirement investors could
be exposed to SpaceX much sooner than normal because major
(14:53):
stock indexes changed their rules ahead of the IPO, they
change their rules for SpaceX. Most furrow one k's own
index funds. Many retirement plans are invested in funds that
track indexes, such as the NASDAQ one hundred, Russell indexes
or the S and P five hundred. When an index
adds a stock, the funds tracking that index must buy
(15:17):
it okay, so at roughly one point seventy five trillion valuation,
SpaceX debuted as the world's largest company. Nasdaq shortened its
waiting period to fifteen days for inclusion the FTSC Russell
allows entry as few as five trading days. Critics argue
(15:40):
those charge changes were made partly because space SESSE is
so large and in such demand. The concern is SpaceX
is not yet profitable and has warned investors that profitability
may never occur. People rush to buy stock into a
company that may never ever be profitable. Some experts worry
(16:01):
that index funds could be forced to buy shares during
a period of intense hype and uncertain valuation in a
company that may never become profitable. So your four oh
one K could actually be at risk because of SpaceX
Because four O one ks have to buy into index funds,
(16:26):
and the stock exchanges changed their rules for SpaceX, so
it will be an index fund within fifteen days. Hey.
That great. Hey, but Elon Musk is a jillionaire. You
might lose a bunch of money in your four A
one k, but Elon Musk is a trillionaire. So there
(16:49):
you have it, all right? Is that enough horror for
the day? Have you had enough? Because I've had enough?
You know, I've I've had Have you had enough? Because
there's a much bigger controversy going on that I very
very much want to talk about. There really is, uh
(17:11):
and it's one that I got directly involved in online
because it was it all started, Okay, it all started
because I absolutely love an adore Jamie Lee Curtis and
Mariska Arkite. Okay, I adore them, and so it all
(17:31):
started because I adore them. And you're like, well, what
what giant controversy could there be about Mariska Hargitay? And sorry,
it's getting some things on the desktop here. So there
is a big controversy going on, and it's one that
I am uniquely qualified to speak about.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Uh.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
So let me play you this piece of video here
that explains the controversy. This was said by Jamie the
Curtis to Mariska Hargitay, okay, and then we'll talk water
in the next half hour. But listen to this.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
You explained to me that you were making a doc.
You explained to me that you had come back to
Los Angeles, that you had gone through the beginning of
the storage unit.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Because you just said Los Angeles, Okay.
Speaker 7 (18:22):
We had this argument and I says, los Angeles, okay,
but what do you call it? Los Felis?
Speaker 5 (18:28):
Yes, but we're not talking about feelings. You don't say loss, and.
Speaker 7 (18:33):
Let's say Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
And if I had like a jury here, everyone would.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
Vote for me. Go ahead, hey, feeling. But from now on,
I'm gonna say.
Speaker 7 (18:42):
Okay, somebody you probably live there. Do you live there?
Speaker 5 (18:45):
In a lous do you say los Angeles?
Speaker 7 (18:48):
Angelebody says that, okay.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Well, any guys, please God, let's move on. Please got
move on. But I apologize. I was with the fact
that when you said it, I go like this, You're saying,
deep I am, I'm.
Speaker 7 (19:01):
Like, I know, It's okay, you can laugh.
Speaker 5 (19:04):
You explained all right, there we have it, so I
posted underneath that Jamie Lee Curtis is right. It's Los
and heals. That's how you say it, Los Angeles. That's
how you say the city's name. Now a little bit
of background, okay, Or if you must say Angelus, you
(19:24):
can say Los Angelus. Now a little bit of background.
In nineteen fifty two, the mayor at daily of Los
Los Angeles, the mayor I live in Las Vegas. I
have lost on the mind. The mayor of Los Angeles
got a group of linguists together, all of them white,
(19:45):
to because there was such controversy about how to say
the city's name, and they all decided it was Loss
Los Loss. But there's still an a sound in there,
and that's wrong. Now most of California is named with
(20:05):
Hispanic names, okay. And I realized that Americans don't like
to adhere to, or pay tribute to, or be confined
by what another language sounds like. But the fact is
the name of the city is Los l long O
(20:26):
s on Helays. And if you must say Angelus, if
you're just so stupid you can't say on Heileas, then okay,
it's still Los l O s. I don't care what
a panel in nineteen fifty two said they were wrong.
I don't care what. Most of Americans say, they're wrong.
(20:47):
The pronuncia just like when you live there, you say
Los Felis, which is still wrong. It should be Los Felice,
but whatever, but they say it. And he used to
drive me crazy. In Long Beach. There is a street there,
j u n I p e r oh. How would
you all pronounce that? J U n I E p
r O. J u n I p e r O.
(21:08):
How would you pronounce I'll tell you one thing. It's
not want a pair of that means wanted is doll?
How would you pronounce it? I'll tell you now.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
It show.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
All right. We are back in Los Vegas loss because
Vegas as las. There are rules in Espanol. The male
pejorative is lows. Okay, l o s means the for
a masculine word, Okay, l o s lows loose. So
(22:03):
Jamie Lee Curtis is right. It's lows and hales. And
if you must say Angelus, then say it. But it's
still Los Angelus. It is just like Louis Felis, and
it's not San raffel is it. I believe it's San Raphael.
Isn't there an ae in there? Or is it our
a f e l You know? I mean, this is
(22:25):
how these things are pronounced. And so this argument and
before the break, I said j u n I p
e r O. In Long Beach, everybody says who Nippero.
I'm sorry, everyone says Juanapao. Everybody, and I'll always look
at them and say, what street is that? You know? Wanapao?
(22:45):
Nojuanapao would be j u a n y p e
r r o, and it would mean one and his
dog who Nippero? J u n I p e r
oh is the name of who Nippero Sarah, who established
all of the missions in California and is the namesake
(23:05):
of the street. The same with Heimino. Everybody in Long
Beach says x semino x I m e n o,
Except x I m e n O is not pronounced
x mino. First of all, there's no x sound in Espanol.
Second of all, the i is not pronounced i, and
the e is not pronounced e. It's jimeno, x I
(23:29):
m e n o is Hemino. It is not xemino,
it's los and haalays. It's hounipero, it's a hemino. And
I'm sure there are places where you live that everybody
mispronounces and they think they're just pronouncing it right. They're not.
(23:50):
Americans show their ignorance all the time by getting stuff
wrong and acting like it's right. Oh, I live in
Los Angeles. No, you don't. Ain't no city named Los
Angeles Las Angelus. There is no city named Las Angelus.
Angels is a male on heals. Angels is a male
(24:12):
pejorative word an Espanol, or it'd be angelas, that'd be
a female angel onjilas female angel and helays male angel
Los and Los Angeles. The angels l Sudad de Los
Angeles if you're American, or if you're Espanol elcidad, or
(24:37):
you can say lasio dada if you want, but it's
Elsiodad de Los Angeles. That's how it is. So Jamie
Lee is right and Mariska Hargete is wrong. And the
over two hundred commenters that have commented on my post
where I phonetically sounded it out underneath that say, no,
(24:58):
it's not it's loss. No, it's not just because some
white group of people in the fifties said it was
it's not. That's what I hate about America. We we
accept wrong things as right, and that just extends out
to every part of our lives. We accept wrong things
(25:19):
as right. And it starts with speech. You know, it
starts with speech. Good Lord, all right, los los los
and halays, how do you pronounce it wrong? Probably a
(25:41):
lot of you are in the Bay Area. It's not
is it? Is it san? How do they sell spell
San Rafel? Because I always thought it was San Rafael,
but maybe there's no e. Is it san Rafel san
r a F e L. Nope, it's a E L. Right,
So it's not San Rafel, It's it's son Rafael. That's
(26:05):
what it is. Son Raphael. That's the name of the city.
It is not San Rafel, It's son Raphael. That's what
it is. First of all, A in Espanol is not a.
It's a. It's so it's Sun son Rafael, that's what
it is. Oh Lord. So California has a whole bunch
(26:29):
of cities that just everybody mispronounces and they're well, we're
not in Mexico. It was part of Mexico. You rube.
These people are like, well, it's America. It's not part
of Mexico. It was part of Mexico. It was literally
named after Mexicans. God, have a little respect for culture,
(26:51):
can't we? I mean just a little. Can we at
least have a little tardy bit of respect for culture?
Just you know? It is Son Rafael, That's what it is.
I've heard so many people on kg O call Hi,
I'm calling from San Rafel. No you're not. That'd be
(27:15):
like SSA n R A f E L Son Rafael.
But that's not what the city is named. It's and Song,
I believe means Saint. I think it means Saint. I
think I have to look it up, so it would
be Saint Raphael. That's what the city would be named after.
(27:37):
So Son, I believe means Saint. I have to look
it up. Come as ay DC and espanel Saint anybody
anybody out there, anyone is fluent is s An in Spanish? Saint?
Or is that Santa? Son is the male version of Saint.
(27:57):
I was right. Santa is a female saint and Son
is a male saint. So Son Raphael is the male
Saint Raphael. That's what it is. His name is not Rafael.
Don't go renaming your saints. Okay, So it's son Rafael,
(28:17):
good Lord in Heaven, all right. Santa is a female saint,
Song is a male saint. Santo could be uh, but
I doubt it. Santo means something else. I think it
means sacred. So yeah, son means saint in Spanish. It's
the short masculine version of the word santo, so the
(28:42):
entire so santo male saint. They shorten it to son
Santa female saint by that, thinking Santa Claus is a female,
is a woman. But Santa Claus is not an estoniel,
so then yeah, Claus would be a female Santa Santa Claus.
(29:05):
But again we get everything wrong. He loath and hello Fan, Napael,
Fanta Maria, send me guidance every day. I pray thobodya
send me guy, didn't send me Gui didn't pretty please.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
It's broadcasting from a completely different point of view.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Yours listen daily to the.
Speaker 8 (29:32):
Corell cast on your favorite streaming service.
Speaker 6 (29:36):
He was you're listening to the corell cast driving you
home or driving you crazy. It's broadcasting from a completely
different point of view.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Yours listen daily to the.
Speaker 8 (29:56):
Corell cast on your favorite streaming service. You're listening to
the Carille cast driving you home or driving you crazy.
Speaker 5 (30:19):
And this is what's wrong with our country. It really
is we and the world. Because you know, I really
believe Jack Nicholson was right. Whoever wrote that scene. We
can't handle the truth. We can't. Christians cannot handle that.
Jesus Christ, well, first of all, didn't exist. They can't
handle that. But if he did exist, he would not
(30:40):
have looked like Brad Pitt or even my boy Sam
Wolf or Sam Ryder, who's doing him in Jesus Christ
Superstar over in the UK, who over and says, oh,
he looks so much like Jesus. No, he looks like
the zigzag man. He doesn't look like Jesus. Jesus would
look like a long haired Palestinian. That's what Jesus would
look like, because that's who he was. He was a
Jew from the Palestinian region, and he would have dark complexion.
(31:04):
He would look like the guy at the convenience smart,
you know, that's what Christ would look like. He would
look like the gentleman perhaps at the Kosher deli, like
a Hasidic Jew. He would look like an Arab because
he was an Arab. Okay, he would not look like
Brad Pitt. That is not what Christ would look like
(31:26):
if he existed. He did not, but if he did exist,
he would not look like Brad Pitt with long hair.
He would look like Ronnie Mallik or you know Pickin
Asian Kamal what's his name that he just got buff,
you know, man Johnny, that's who he'd look like. Hassan Piker.
(31:47):
He'd looked like Hassan Piker, who's very handsome. But he
would not look like Brad Pitt. So we get that wrong.
The basic fundamental of their faith, okay, the image of
Jesus in their head, and it's wrong. That's not what
he would look like. Okay, he'd look more black. He
(32:11):
would be closely more related to blacks than he would
be to whites. So that is not what he would
look like. It's loose, not lost. It's San Raphael, not
San Rafel. Christ does not look like Brad Pitt. We
could probably do a whole show of stuff society gets wrong.
(32:35):
And that's the problem. If you repeat something wrong long enough,
it becomes right. And that's the problem. You repeat a
lie or a half truth or something that's just wrong,
and you repeat it long enough and it becomes accepted
as fact even though it's not. And that's the danger
(33:01):
of social media because it repeats wrong things all day long,
very quickly, and suddenly those wrong things become fact. I
am in full full compliance and agreement with them banning
social media for kids in the UK and Australia. I
wish we'd do it here. So there's a lot of
(33:24):
things I'd love for your comments down below. What city
or streets do people in your area mispronounce or what
facts do we just get wrong? Like the Jesus myth,
he would not look like Brad Pitt. We mispronounced things,
we mislabel things, we miss gender things. I mean, if
(33:45):
there were a god, it'd be a woman. Only a
woman can create and only a man would think that
a god would be a man. Only a woman could
create people. Oh they need a man. A god wouldn't
if By the way, if there were a god, it
would be a hermaphrodite. It would be both sexes because
(34:07):
it created people without having sex. Therefore it would be
you know, both genders, because it created human life without
anyone else being involved. It had to be both genders.
God would have been asexual or hermaphrodite. Basically, Well, they
(34:32):
don't like to hear that either, do they. But it's true.
So we get a lot wrong. And I'd love to
see your comments down below about things that we accept
as right that are wrong. Everyone just accepts. People say
in Los Angeles that everyone just accepts it Los Angeles.
It's not Los Angeles, it's lose. Everyone accepts people saying
(34:55):
other words wrong, Sam Raphael, just other words, lots of
other words. They say them wrong, and everyone thinks it's okay.
It's not a thing. Everyone accepts that Jesus with white
he's wrong. He wouldn't have been, he never would and
that the danger of modern day society. Lives get repeated
so quickly and so much that we accept them. Effect

I need to pull up this story and it's not
pulling up properly. And I don't know why. Something is
just wrong. Things are always going wrong these days. I
(36:13):
don't know why, but they are. Save all Come on,
open God. I hate when technology fails, you, I really do.
All right, So there is a war being fought already.
Most of you are not aware of it, and I'm
going to tell you about it. Okay, So I tell
(36:36):
you a lot about it, but we're gonna make a
topic out of it today. Water in the Colorado River
is dwindling to levels that haven't been seen in decades decades,
children and the seven states seven that rely on the
river can't agree on a fair way to divide up
what's left. Negotiations are going no despite more than six
(37:02):
months six months of ongoing talks, plus cajoling by the
Trump administration, which twice gathered governors in hopes of a
breakthrough that never came. States are already sniping at aspects
of water use plans from the Federal Bureau of Reclamation,
which is set to unveil this summer and impose later
(37:24):
this year, and they're threatening to sue each other over
water deliveries, raising the prospects of prolonged legal battles, just
as Western states face demand to sharply reduce water use.
The River's system of reservoirs and canals was designed for
the climate and population a century ago. It has strained
(37:44):
to adapt to a declining water supply and enormous growth
in communities in the river basin. Despite improvements and efficiency
that mean even booming cities are using less water than
in the past. Water rights that may date back to
the arrival of your European settlers also complicate the matters,
and a year of extreme drought is making it even
(38:06):
harder to decide how much each state can draw from
the Colorado Now. It's not from a lack of effort.
We have invested time, effort, and money in trying to
facilitate a multi state agreement, says Scott Cameron, the acting
Commissioner of the Bureau of Reclamation. In an interview this month,
he said, moments after signaling a deal that could one
(38:27):
day augment the basin's supply, using desalinated water from a
plant in Carlsbad, California, which we desperately need. But a
day later, mister Cameron told a conference of water experts
in Boulder that states have repeatedly rejected proposals for compromise.
He said he doesn't expect any state to be pleased
with the measures the federal government is expected to take
(38:50):
to delay or prevent reservoirs from dropping to critical lows.
In the short term. Lake meat already is. It's a
thirty percent children. I think we've succeeded in making everyone
unhappy and maybe making everyone mad. About forty million people
and five and a half million acres of cropland depend
on the Colorado for drinking water and irrigation, but its
(39:13):
flow has gradually diminished over the past two decades as
the climate becomes warmer and more arid across the West. Now,
the arcane system of water rights governing the river and
titles each state and Mexico to far more water than
is actually available. The rules prioritize the longest established uses
of water, dating back to the eighteen fifties and the
(39:37):
eighteen sixties, but the states have been unable to agree
upon water cuts that would reflect this new reality. In
the river's lower basin, which includes urban areas in California, Arizona,
and Nevada, vast agricultural operations, and the nation's largest reservoir,
(39:57):
Lake Mead, which I live right next to, the nation's
largest reservoir, communities have agreed to significant reductions in recent years.
A new proposal that the states are asking the federal
government to consider would curtail even more, but the lower
basin states and tribal nations have asked upstream communities in
New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming to cut back two
(40:21):
But any time winter snowpack in the river's hedgewaters is meager,
the upper basin is forced to use less water, so
those states have resisted committing to permanent, annual water cuts.
While in nineteen twenty two, a one hundred and four
year old compact divides the United States share of the
rivers flow equally between the two basins, the less populated
(40:43):
upper basin consumes less water each year than the lower basin.
The stalemate between the basins has deepened as the stakes rise.
An existing water use plan expired this winter, and the
states missed key deadlines to agree on a new one,
which must be in place by October to avoid chaos
(41:04):
and confusion in water delivery. A mild winter and extreme
spring heat left winter snowpack so depleted that Lake Powell,
the nation's second largest reservoir, which straddles the Upper and
Lower Basins, wrisked falling below critical levels for hydro power
until federal officials began emergency actions to shift water around
(41:27):
and keep the dam generating electricity. So far, Trump officials
have resisted imposing any plan, though mister Cameron said the
Bureau had not been passive. It has offered four hundred
and fifty million dollars for water conservation projects across the basin,
using money left over from the Inflation Reduction Act, which
was passed under President Biden and included four billion for
(41:50):
drought response in the West. Mister Cameron said less than
one hundred million is left to help pay for more
water savings. We have floated three times punn in tended
solutions that we thought represented something that the seven states
could agree upon. Turns out they can't. With the states
unable to agree, the federal government is set to put
(42:11):
new guidelines in place. The new Interior Secretary Doug Bergham,
who I think ran a convenience store before, whose department
includes the Reclamation Bureau, to release a plan in July
to govern the use of the river for the next decade.
Before that plan becomes final, it would need approval from
the White House. A draft plan released in January included
(42:32):
a range of options, some of which would make significant
cuts across the lower basin, where the federal government's control
of the reservoirs gives it more powers to cut off flows.
The alternatives would force water shortages mostly in the lower
basin based upon reservoir conditions. This includes various levels of
cutbacks that would leave some risk of unplanned emergency water
(42:54):
shortages in the lower basin. Arizona is especially vulnerable because
of its heavy reliance on the reservoirs and its relatively
junior water rights. The federal plan would include room for
tweaks and negotiations every two years, but state officials from
across the region said that could make things worse. The
biggest problem is that reopening the whole plan every two
(43:17):
years would undermine any certainty over water supplies. As the
talks continue to stall, the threat of litigation is looming
bigger and bigger, even though negotiators have said they are
hoping to avoid court battles that would undoubtedly be lengthy, costly,
and unpredictable. Senator Mike Lee of Utah warren Wednesday on
(43:40):
Capitol Hill that he would seek to block federal drought
relief funds from any state that sue over the Colorado River.
Water in Arizona and Colorado, state officials have been readying
lawyers and setting aside public funds for a legal battle
over the water. Early this year, Television ads paid for
by a coalition of Arizona water uses warn that the
(44:02):
state is being targeted for crippling cuts. In public comments
submitted in response, the states have hinted at contradictory legal
interpretations of this nineteen twenty two compact, offer dueling arguments
that both suggest that the Trump administration was at risk
of violating the document. Arizona officials said the federal plan
(44:22):
would improperly prioritize maintaining Lake Powell at the expense of
downstream releases, including Lake Mead. Focusing on legal arguments could
keep the states from reaching a compromise because the nineteen
twenty two agreement is only seventeen hundred words long. Mister
Ensminger of Nevada suggested that the states might never agree
(44:46):
on what exactly of them, which what they're entitled to,
and that was all the more reason for them to
find common ground. The only way we're ever going to
have any certainty is the Supreme Court. That way you
avoid everything else. Drought has raised the alarm across Colorado
Basin River many times over the last quarter century, but
(45:09):
the current drought is arriving at a critical time for
states to adapt. Major water shortages are arriving at the
same time as the long awaited deadline to develop a
new river management plan. At a recent conference of Colorado
River officials, people were struck about the difficult task that remains,
even though everyone who relies on the river agrees that
someone needs to take some action and that people are
(45:32):
going to have to do with less water. There is
even talk of rationing in the lower basin states, including Nevada, Arizona, California,
and Utah. Well, there you have it. They've mentioned the
words rationing. Yep, Look, I live here, Okay, I live
(45:58):
in Nevada, and I'm telling you right now it is
far worse than you guys think. In the Bay Area wherever,
it is far worse than you think. There is no
fucking water, and the Las Vegas just keeps building. You know,
a moratorium. I believe it was in Switzerland. They were
(46:20):
going to cap their population at ten million. They just
went to the polls to vote about it. Now it failed,
but they wanted to cap their population at ten million.
At ten million, no one else could come, no immigrants, nothing,
We're done, We're full. I have maintained for the longest time,
Las Vegas is full. There's too many people here. There's
(46:42):
not enough water, not enough space, there's too much concrete.
Every time you build something, you put more concrete down.
You're just increasing the temperature. You're causing rapid climate change.
And there's no fucking water. If I were the governor
of the state of Nevada, I would put a population
limit on the Las Vegas Valley. I would. I know
(47:05):
it would be unpopular, but it doesn't matter. There's no
water and we are going to start rationing. You wait,
and because there's no water, we're going to run out.
Everyone says. The strip, the strip. The strip only uses
three percent of Las Vegas's water. That's it three percent.
(47:25):
They are so good at recycling over there, the Belagio,
the fountains, that water doesn't even come from Lake Mead.
The water and the Bolagio fountains come from their own spring.
They have their own spring for that water, so it
does not come from Lake Mead or the Colorado River.
So the casinos and the strip have done a stellar job.
(47:50):
Las Vegas itself takes very little water from Lake Mead.
And yet this morning I was at Desert Breeze Park
at seven am, and every spring in the park was on.
Sprinklers are the worst form of irrigation. They waste more
water than they give to the plants. Why we still
(48:11):
use them on public land is beyond me. There are
better ways to water the grass more water efficient. A
drip irrigation system should be installed in every public park
that has grass. This sprinkler just the water evaporates half
the time before it even hits to It was ninety
two degrees on our walk this morning. It is one
(48:33):
hundred and one outside already right now. So the water
just evaporates. But there's no solutions. Their solution is cut back.
That is not an answer to our water problem. Cutting
back is not going to bring water to the west.
The Colorado is drying up. It is going to dry
(48:57):
up either we find a way to flood the Colorado
River with water from the east coast, with rainwater that
we corrupt. There's gonna be flooding all week long across
the country, flooding, billions of gallons of water coming down,
and we don't save it, we don't collect it. We
just let it run off and cause mud slides. In California,
(49:20):
there's gonna be record rain because of the Super al Nino.
Where's all that water gonna go right back into the ocean.
It's not gonna be collected. There's no reservoirs to collect
the rain water. We have not built for the climate. Why,
because we've been so busy dicking around with where a
trans person peas, whether or not a gay person can
(49:41):
get married, what rights an immigrant may or may not have,
who gets healthcare and who doesn't. We have been so
preoccupied with God, guns and gays that the real issues
of the day, like fucking water that we cannot live without,
(50:04):
have been ignored. And now their answer, use less. No,
you know, I'm not going to use less fucking water.
That's on you. That's like yesterday, my thermostat my nest,
it set the temperature to eighty one and it said, oh,
it's rush hour and that's seven to eight when a
(50:24):
lot of electricity is being used. And it said, you know,
too much electricity is being used right now, we've cut
your air conditioner back to eighty one. I turned it
promptly back down to seventy six and said, fuck you.
We get more energy from the sun every day than
we need for a five thousand years. If you can't
find a way to capture that and get it to me,
that's on you. But I'm not going to be an
(50:46):
eighty one degree heat in my house.
Speaker 4 (50:52):
Stay now is show side?
Speaker 5 (51:08):
You know? This morning I had to do one of
my least favorite jobs. So I have this great device
called a HEMI. G e me, okay, a HEMI, And
it's a composter the size of a trash can. Okay,
it's great. It's out of my patio and you just
throw the scraps in it and it turns them into dirt.
It's just a wonderful device. And that keeps food scraps
(51:32):
out of the trash because they don't decompose quickly in
a landfill because they're in plastic and everything else, and
then they cause way too much methane gas and it's
a problem. No one should be throwing food waste away, period,
end of story. There should be separate trash cans like
there are in some city for compostable trash. Okay, no
(51:54):
one should just be putting food in the regular trash
and today, so I have found if you just throw
the food in the banana peels to orange peels and
all of that, that they're big and it takes a
long time for it to break down. But if you
grind it up first in your food processor, then it
(52:17):
turns into mash already, and you put that in and
it composts quickly. But it's a very messy and horrible job.
And I hate it because I store up a jar
full of composting stuff, you know, strawberry stuff, the tops
of strawberries, and any leftover food, my tea, you know
the tea that I have every day. All of that,
you just anything organic things that go bad in the refrigerator,
(52:41):
Ember's poop that goes in the composter as well. So
I have this big jar that might or plastic tub.
That my two pounds of protein powder, which we're running
out of by the way, you non vegans, they're running
out of weigh protein powder because of all your craze
about protein. But anyway, so I have that, and so
(53:03):
every couple of days it fills up, and so I
dump that into the food processor and turn it on. Well,
it often gets stuck because of watermelon rhine or cantalope
rine or whatever, and I have to like dig in there. Oh,
it's just a mess. And today I said to myself,
why am I doing this? Why am I doing this?
(53:24):
I'm not gonna save the planet by doing this. You know,
corporations are the ones that are robbing and raping the
planet with impunity. Nesley is buying up all the water,
So why do I care if I take a five
minute fucking shower. Pretty Soon none of us are going
to be able to afford water, because it's going to
be owned by corporations, because we are stupidly sitting by
(53:45):
and letting people privatize water. That is the dumbest and
it's the most short sighted. And if I were president,
I would I would exercise eminent domain over every bit
of water and tell every corporation they don't own it.
If I were president, I would sign an executive order
that America owns every bit of water in America. The
(54:08):
US government owns it, not any corporation. But I'm not president,
and you know, I just think to myself, you, oh,
take a short shower. Why They've had seventy years to
fix the water problem in the West and they have
ignored it. And now their answer is for me to
(54:31):
take a three minute shower. Fuck you, I'm only on
planet Earth one time. This is it, It's all I got.
This is my time on the planet. And you want
to tell me that I need to deprive myself of electricity,
deprive myself of air conditioning, deprive myself of a long shower. Why,
Because you didn't prepare for the needs of the people.
(54:53):
Electricity being scarce or expensive is a failure of government.
There is more power from the sun every day that
washes over a planet Earth than we could use in
five thousand years. If we just captured the energy from
(55:14):
one day of sunlight, we would all have as much
power as we want for the rest of our lives.
The same with water. There is more water on the
planet than we need. It's just in the wrong place.
We need to redistribute it, but we won't. We'll build
(55:35):
pipelines for oil, but not for water. The ocean is rising.
We know this, well, we could use some of that water,
couldn't we Well, desalinization is expensive. It's this. It's that
I don't fucking care. We can't live without water. That
we should spend more money on water than anything else
(55:55):
other than air and food, which they're all related. You
gotta have water and air for food, it's all related.
That should be what we spend money on. That's it water, air, food, housing,
that's it power, Internet, That's what the federal government should
spend money on. Getting everybody internet, getting everybody electricity, getting
(56:18):
everybody drinkable water, and making sure there's a supply of
water for the people. That's all governments should really care about.
Stay the fuck out of abortion, same sex marriage, trans
people and where they pee, and make sure that when
I go into the bathroom, I don't worry about a
trans person, and I worry, you know about the water.
(56:39):
But no, no, you know so yeah, So when it
comes to conservation, I'm a bit of a curmudgeon. Now
I used to conserve everything. I mean, I wash all
of my plastic bags, my ziplock bags. I don't throw
them away. I wash them and use them until they're
(56:59):
just done. I have a composter on my patio and
I grind up left. Can you know how horrible it
smells after food has been in a container for four
days and you throw it into a processor and just
liquid in there that God knows what it is, and
you know, you spin it about and then you got
to scoop it into your ear. And I thought, why
am I doing this? No one else does it? No
one else cares about the environment. Everyone's like, fuck the environment.
(57:22):
I just can't. I don't like organic waste in my trash.
It stinks, and I don't like it. The same with
my shower. I take short showers anyway. Steve Cabral says,
I take hooker showers. I'm literally done in under three,
about three minutes. I take about three minutes in a shower,
maybe four, not even one song. I never even can
(57:44):
finish one song in the shower. I take quick showers,
always have, so I'm not really and I don't take baths.
I think baths are ridiculous. I don't understand baths. Let's
sit in my own dirt. I'll jacuzzi. If it's a
private jacuzzi, use public jacuzis cause you know the foam
on top, that's their dead skin and body fluids that
(58:05):
are turned in its protein. I have saltwater aquariums, and
you have a protein skimmer in your saltwater aquarium where
the water comes in and it's hit with a whole
bunch of air and then the protein foams up and
goes into the top. Well, that's what's happening in a jacuzzi.
The water's moving about and splashing and air rating, and
the protein in the water creates foam. That's what a foam.
(58:26):
If you ever see a foam me jacuzzi, that's dead
skin and body fluid. That's what it is. It's the protein,
which is why I don't go in. All right, we'll
be back tomorrow for our Wednesday show. I am Corell
