1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and buck 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: Sexton Show podcast. Welcome in Clay Travis buck Sexton Show. 3 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: We appreciate all of you listening to us. We are 4 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:15,600 Speaker 1: dealing with the catastrophic potential impacts of Hurricane Ian as 5 00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: it nears nears nears the west coast of Florida. And 6 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: right now, let's take one minute of Ron de Santas, 7 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 1: who is speaking giving the latest on this hurricane. Then 8 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 1: we're going to be joined by Joe Bastardi, who is 9 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: incredible at covering all of these weather related events for Fox. 10 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: But first, just a quick check in with Governor Rond 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: de Santas standing water and please, if you're going to 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: use a generator for your home, do not allow that 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: to be inside. The exhaust needs to be outdoors. Stay 14 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: out of the way of emergency crews, out of floodwaters, 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,880 Speaker 1: and away from all down power lines. Stay off the roads. 16 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: There's no need to rush back. You're going to have 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: a massive surge of people that are going to be 18 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: going in to provide, of course, life safety assistance for 19 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: those who may have stayed in some of the more 20 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: hazardous areas. You're also going to have power workers going in. 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: We were just in Lake City. I was thanking we 22 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: had all these power workers, these line workers from all 23 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: these different states. I saw him from Texas, Louisiana, all 24 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: these different places. Stage, we have a massive, massive mobilization. Okay, 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,319 Speaker 1: that's Ronda Santis, and we appreciate everybody who's going in 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: from so many different states to help people in Florida. 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: We will update you with any additional information that he 28 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: is providing right now, live with his update, But we 29 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: want to bring in now Joe Bastardi, who has been 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: covering storms like these for a very long time. He's 31 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 1: got a book, The Weaponization of Weather in the Phony 32 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: Climate War. Most recently he is the chief forecaster at 33 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: WeatherBell Analytics LC. Joe, Thanks, sir. I know it's been 34 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: a crazy day for you, certainly as you track this storm. 35 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: What should our listeners, both in Florida and beyond know 36 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: about the latest on this storm? First of all, this 37 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: is what the Good Lord above made me to do, 38 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: and we actually I actually posted a blog. It got 39 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, but it was written Monday on Sea Fact. 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys, I posted quite often 41 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: there on Sea Fact, trying to get people ahead of 42 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: the game on the weather. And the title of the 43 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: blog last Wednesday was attention Governor de Santists. And part 44 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,600 Speaker 1: of the reason I wrote that was because we were 45 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: even then, before this was even developing. We were saying, 46 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: telling our clients, this is coming for Florida's go on 47 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: the a major impact storm. And you wonder, well, how 48 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: the heck you're saying that it's because of what the 49 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: old time pattern recognition. I'm sixty seven years old. My 50 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: dad was a meteorologist. He taught me that you should 51 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: have a functional, working knowledge of what the atmosphere is 52 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: doing before you go rely on computer models. So we 53 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: got way ahead of the storm. And one of the 54 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: biggest things about this storm I'm emphasizing to everyone is 55 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: while Governor to Santists has done a unbelievable job mobilizing 56 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,080 Speaker 1: this army, the army needs to be fed, and the 57 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: supply chain situation in the country for people recovering here 58 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: is not good. It's not like it was three or 59 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: four years ago. For while we've got the electric crews 60 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: and all these people staging and they're in there. When 61 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 1: you start considering the logistic of what about windows blown 62 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: out and what about the idea that this is not 63 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: just done here. Even though it will be a lesser 64 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: intense storm, this is going to be a major, perhaps devastating, 65 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: impactful storm from Jacksonville up toward Charleston as far as 66 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: the coastal communities go. And it won't be the amount 67 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: of wind the window probably seventy five eighty miles an hour, 68 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: but the fact that in those areas that I want 69 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: to talk about, those areas for people, because everybody's focused 70 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: on Fort Myers. We started focusing yesterday, you know Fort Myers, 71 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: Naples in there. We start focusing yesterday further north because 72 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: there's a second battle coming here. It's already starting because 73 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: this big cool high in the northeast is this strong 74 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: northeasterly winds already piling water up from Jacksonville into Savannah 75 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: and Charleston. The tides are coming up, and then this 76 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: is going to come off the coast, probably near Cape 77 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: Canaveral tomorrow afternoon Tomorrow night, and then come north between 78 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: Savannah and Charleston, I think later Friday. So you'll have 79 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: the water that's two three four feet above normal and 80 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: then the storm surge coming up, and so we want 81 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 1: to we want to be concerned about that area. This 82 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: is a done deal as far as these areas, they're 83 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: going to be devastated and been my you know people 84 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 1: people that I talked to a week ago, some of 85 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,600 Speaker 1: my friends then there. I say, you got to get 86 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: out there and stay out of there. And the reason 87 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: why is the recovery. It may not be you know, three, 88 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: four or five days. You know, Charlie it was four days, 89 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: but Charlie was a much smaller store as far as 90 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: stature goes, as far as the size, and it ran 91 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: through Florida. This thing is going to crawl five to 92 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 1: ten miles an hour. It's probably going to break non 93 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: thunderstorm wind speed records. You know, you get a thunderstorm, 94 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: you get these big strong wind gusts. But you know, 95 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: places like Orlando and even on up the I four quarter, 96 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,559 Speaker 1: all these places are going to probably have wind gusts 97 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 1: over hurricane force and not just for five ten minutes. 98 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: There'll be twelve eighteen hours where the wind will be gusting. 99 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: It won't always be over hurricane force, but it's a 100 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: very very slow moving system. Those of you who have 101 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: been in a hurricane, especially on the East coast, although 102 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: we've had no landfalling hurricanes in Long Island or New England. 103 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: Sandy went to the south, of course, in New Jersey, 104 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: but we've had no landfalling hurricanes in thirty two years 105 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: in the northeast. And for those of you who remember hurricanes, 106 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: because they used to hit once every seven year years, 107 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: hurricanes were much more frequent from the thirties on into 108 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: the early nineties. They move fast, even in Florida, they're 109 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 1: usually moving pretty fast. When you get something that moves 110 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: slow like Harvey did. Harvey gets trapped by a cold 111 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: upper trough the same way the upper trough of blow 112 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: pressures capturing this storm and making it move slower. When 113 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: they move slow like this, it's a relentless pounding. It's 114 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: not only it's a psychological thing. It's like being in 115 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 1: a trench and you can't come out for a long time. 116 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: So we were trying to get people out of there. 117 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: Even if there were in areas where, well, my building 118 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: can take two hundred miles hour winds, that's fine, but 119 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: what if you're still without water seven eight days behind? 120 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: And that is a product of what has happened with 121 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: the supply chain in this country. Okay, Joe, So you 122 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 1: coming on, Joe Bustardi. You said you've been using and 123 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: using your knowledge. You're sixty seven years old. What does 124 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: this storm remind you of in terms of a hurricane 125 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: that other people out there listening to us right now 126 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: might have experienced. Where is the analogy that you would 127 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: draw as to what it may be like when it 128 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: is finally here and finished. Well, it's a slower moving 129 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: version of Donna in nineteen sixty Right, Florida hasn't been hit. Guys. 130 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: This is only the sixth time since nineteen sixty five 131 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: a major hurricane has crossed the south south coast of Florida. 132 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: In the fifty years before that, there were sixteen hurricanes. 133 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: I can't go I can reference the forty seven hurricane. 134 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: I can reference this Cape Sable hurricane which came across 135 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: near Cape Sable, went out and then turned around hit Savannah. Right, 136 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: I can reference us. But who remembers those And that's 137 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: one of the problems that See, the reason why people 138 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,119 Speaker 1: get after me and this climate change thing is because 139 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: they're relying on the fact that nobody knows these things. 140 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: So when you know and understand that, you can communicate 141 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 1: with people. So this simply hasn't been a storm like 142 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: this since we were back in the nineteen forties. Florida 143 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,679 Speaker 1: looked like railroad tracks crossing it. Now we had Andrew, 144 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: of course, and we had Charlie. But Charlie was a 145 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 1: small storm that moved quite fast. All Right, this one's 146 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: going to take its time. And in addition, because it's 147 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: going to take its time and get back over the Atlantic. 148 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: And this is something my company has been those of 149 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: you watching what's going on on Twitter, and some people 150 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: follow me, you've been watching our track and then the 151 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,079 Speaker 1: hurricanes undergoes to our track. And this morning we made 152 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: a big deal about intensity, and I see their latest 153 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: bullet and his is back up to sixty five miles 154 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: an hour again off the Florida coast when it goes 155 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: into South Carolina there too. So as far as the 156 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: reference goes, the slow movement of the storm is very unusual. 157 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: It's not climate change because it's not because it's it's 158 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: moving slow because a trough of low pressure has captured 159 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: it in the upper levels of the Joe just to 160 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: be Joe, just to be clear, and we've got Joe 161 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: Bus starting with us. Now, who's sharing his expertise and 162 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: exactly this hurricanes and what's going on right now in Florida. 163 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: It sounds like you're saying this is the most the 164 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: most destructive force hurricane that we have seen in a 165 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: hundred years. Is that the totality of it? Okay, Let's 166 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: see there are many many different problems here, guys. Okay, 167 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 1: think about this. The Saint John's River, all right, it 168 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: flows north, doesn't flow south like most rivers. And I say, so, 169 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: what right, Well, if you get two feet of rain 170 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: in the river basin area, and meanwhile, northeast winds are 171 00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: jamming a coastal surge into the inlet where the Saint 172 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,320 Speaker 1: John Saint John's River empties into what's going to happen 173 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: when the coastal surge meets the flood The flood surge 174 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: coming in this case downstream, which is north right. So 175 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: you have you have one set of circumstances after another here. 176 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,200 Speaker 1: But it was all you could see it coming. That's 177 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: what That's what really bothers me about this whole thing. 178 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: The pattern recognition said, you know, we had Earl, then 179 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: we had Fiona developing in a certain place, and you 180 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: could see western Caribbean. Here it comes right. You can 181 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 1: see it down the road from ten to fifteen days away, 182 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 1: as plain as the nose in my Italian face. And 183 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 1: the reason we knew that is previous storms had developed 184 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,559 Speaker 1: in their. Okay, you got Wilma that developed in there, 185 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: for instance, Charlie developed in their They had similar patterns. 186 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: But the difference now is in the end game of 187 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: the storm and the logistics of trying to clean up 188 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: after the storm. So it's and it's moving up the 189 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 1: Eye four corridor. Charlie went up the four corridor, but 190 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: it was a very small storm, weakened dramatically and it 191 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: was in and out in six to twelve hours. This 192 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: is coming up through Orlandello, it's going to Cape Kennedy 193 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: in those areas and then getting out of the water 194 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: and coming back north. Each storm, you know, when I 195 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: bring up storms, each one it's like a family going 196 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: to a family reunion. But every member of the family 197 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: is not the same, so you have to deal with 198 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,319 Speaker 1: the unique situation that the storm is in. The genesis 199 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: of this was very easy to see where it's going 200 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: to go and the way I say, well, it was 201 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: easy to see. Just go look at what was said 202 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: by my company. Okay, and from half far out right. 203 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: So Joe, you're saying, obviously, it's going to be really, 204 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: really bad on the west coast of Florida, and that's 205 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: where people are focusing on right now. But you're telling us, 206 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: as this storm slowly moves across Florida, that places like 207 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: Orlando and then up on the Atlantic coast, the Jacksonville's, 208 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: the Savannahs, the Charleston's, they're gonna, in your mind, also 209 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: deal with some substantial damage from this storm. And in 210 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: other words, it's not just going straight across Florida back 211 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: out into the Atlantic. It's going to sweep up around 212 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: the Atlantic coast for the South. I wouldn't to hit 213 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 1: a bunch of these places too. Yeah, I would say 214 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 1: it's going to move northward. So I think Orlando will 215 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 1: probably have their highest wind gust on record from a 216 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: tropical cyclone. I don't think Jacksonville beats would happen in 217 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four. Like Tampa, Jacksonville doesn't get hit by 218 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 1: major hurricanes because of the configuration of the coastline. Jacksonville 219 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: got hit one time nineteen sixty four. Doors their benchmarks storm, 220 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: the benchmark storm in Savannah's nineteen forty seven. I don't 221 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: think it's going to beat that. I don't think it's 222 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: going to be You going Charleston or Gracie in Charleston. 223 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: But it is going to be a top ten impact 224 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: event for those areas. Also, obviously for this area of Florida, 225 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: it's probably going to be ranked as number one. Although 226 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: if Donna, Donna came today to that area, right, people 227 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: don't remember in nineteen sixty with Donna was well as 228 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: every bit as bad as this, right, But it moved 229 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: right through and then it hit North Carolina, then it 230 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: went up and hit New England, and every state from 231 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: Maine to Florida had hurricane force wins. In this particular case, 232 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: this will be confined to the southeast. I don't really 233 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: think this gets much further north in the mid Atlantic 234 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: states than what it does. It will just be a 235 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: regular Northeastern won't be a big problem. But the second 236 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: part of this storm is going to be a significant, 237 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: major event. Later Thursday into Saturday morning. Joe but Starring, 238 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: chief forecaster at WeatherBell Analytics. His book is The Weaponization 239 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: of Weather in the Phony Climate War. Joe, we know 240 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: you're super busy. Thank you for sharing your expertise with 241 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: us day. Appreciate you being on. Yeah, thanks for having me. 242 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: I've always wanted to be on with you guys, always 243 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 1: been a big fan. Enjoy that the only whether you go, 244 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: we might have to talk to you again later this week. 245 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: I got expertise in weather and great radio else and 246 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: there you go. It's clearly but I mean really the 247 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: historical knowledge, their incredible discussion. We may have talked to 248 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: him later this week or early next week about the 249 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,199 Speaker 1: lasting impact here. But again right now, Ian coming ashore 250 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: into Florida, and it sounds like a lot of you 251 00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: listening in very many different communities throughout Florida and also 252 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: Georgia and South Carolina are going to be substantially impacted 253 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: by Ian as well. Watching TV shows, movies, docs on 254 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: demand on your phone or smart TVs become a new 255 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: way of life. Even your computer operates as a TV 256 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: screen these days. One college has taken note of that, 257 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 1: Hillsdale College, and they've gone and created a video series 258 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: on demand that informs and entertains us. At the same time, 259 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,600 Speaker 1: Hillsdale's faculty and administration focused on delivering on their mission, 260 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: explain and defend our nation's freedoms and liberties and how 261 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: they came to be. It's one thing to do that 262 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: in the classrooms and lecture halls, but it's another thing 263 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 1: to take the learning and give it online to a 264 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: video series, available free of charge for all who are interested. 265 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: That's what Hillsdale College is doing right now. Several million 266 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: Americans have already treated themselves to their experience of checking 267 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: out this series. You might want to join them as well. 268 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: Online video series compelling conversations and without any quizzes or 269 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: test You don't have to worry about whether or not 270 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: you're going to pass this class. They're online for you 271 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: just to learn. It's that simple. Again, You're free Hillsdale 272 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: College course today at Clay and Buck four Hillsdale dot com. Again, 273 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:32,400 Speaker 1: that's Clay and Buck four Hillsdale dot Com. Do it today. 274 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: Come back to Clay and Buck. We just had Joe 275 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: Bastardi breaking down everything about the history of major storm systems, 276 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: major hurricanes like this and where he thinks this hurricane 277 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: Ian is gonna hit hardest, and what's coming up in 278 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 1: the hours and days ahead. There are going to be 279 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: people already, there have been some who immediately try to 280 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: use this as a political opportunity. It's gross. It is 281 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: going to happen though, And also those who try to 282 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: make this about an issue that they think they're going 283 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: to score some kind of a point on. When it 284 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: comes to climate change. Don Lemon not somebody I would 285 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: turn to for advice about science everybody. He had a 286 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: moment here on CNN. Listen, you said, you want to 287 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: talk about climate change. Well, what effect does climate change 288 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: have on this phenomenon that is happening now, because it 289 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: seems these storms are intensifying. That's a question. I don't 290 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: think you can link climate change to any one event 291 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: on the whole. On the cumulative climate change may be 292 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: making storms worse, but to link it to any one event, 293 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: I would caution against them, caution against it. How about 294 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: we just talked of it. I mean, the guy's been 295 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 1: very nice to Don. We just talked about the history 296 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: of Jobastardi. There were more hurricanes in you know, there 297 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: have been less in the last thirty years than there 298 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 1: weren't the thirty years before that, So so how does 299 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: that track with what they're telling us? And also you're 300 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 1: on CNN, you likely have a lot of people from 301 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: Florida watching you for information. Know the moment, Don Lemon, 302 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: I mean there's time if you are a climate change zelot, 303 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: there's time to talk about climate change that may actually 304 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: make sense while you're talking to an expert who is 305 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: discussing the current weather conditions. Is not that time? Right? 306 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: And Don Lemon, who is getting demoted from his primetime 307 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,679 Speaker 1: show we played last week the British woman dunking on 308 00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: him over reparations every time he goes viral. Now it's 309 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: for looking bad and making poor choices as a host. 310 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 1: And that is why Don Lemon, you have been demoted 311 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: to early mornings on CNN when even fewer people are 312 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: going to be watching your idiocy on a day to 313 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: day basis. It takes a lot to get kids interested 314 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: in history. Good storytelling can really help makes it interesting 315 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: and relatable. School history of books are boring and often 316 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 1: focus on the wrong things. Plus, many kids have activist 317 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 1: teachers who want to teach them Revisionist history make students 318 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 1: feel ashamed of our country, in some cases, ashamed to 319 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: be Americans.

We appreciate you listening in 341 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: the great state of Colorado, as I said, and we 342 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: are joined now by Heidi Ganal, who is making a 343 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: big run in Colorado to turn that state back into 344 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: a red state. And we're trying to emphasize and focus 345 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,560 Speaker 1: on so many of these battleground states and elections that 346 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 1: might not be getting enough attention. And Heidi, we know 347 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: how busy you are running your campaign, but thanks for 348 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: coming on with us. And one of the topics that 349 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: Buck and I have been talking about a great deal 350 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: is the rise in crime. And Colorado, particularly the Denver area, 351 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 1: is seeing a surgeon crime due to the Democrat failed 352 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: policies on crime. What are you seeing there? How would 353 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: you change it? Well? Thanks, Clay. I so appreciate the time, 354 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: love you guys and all you do for our cause 355 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 1: and just being a voice for those of us that 356 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: don't have one socially out in Colorado where our state 357 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: has taken a terrible turn in the last few years 358 00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 1: under Jared Polis. We are number two in fentinol desks 359 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: in the country. Here it's just flowing across our border 360 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: because Polis made us a sanctuary state, and he decriminalized 361 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: s fentinol. So that's beating a lot of the crime. 362 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: But we have all the wrong stats on crime. I mean, 363 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,479 Speaker 1: you think we were talking about Chicago. We're number one 364 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: in auto fest number one in property crime, number one 365 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 1: in bank robberies here in Colorado. So it's just a 366 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: hot mess here now. Jared Polis, you mentioned at Heidie 367 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: It's block thanks for being with us, that he declared 368 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 1: a sanctuary city. He made in twenty nineteen possession of 369 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,360 Speaker 1: up to four grams of fentanyl a misdemeanor. I mean, 370 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: I think that's usually when people think of decriminalization, they 371 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: think of marijuana. Decriminalizing fentanyl possession, that seems like something 372 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: people need to know about. It's terrible. I mean, we 373 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 1: are just losing kids left and right. It's we call 374 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: it fentinyl poisoning because it's not really overdose. They don't 375 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: even know that the xanex or the odder all they're 376 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 1: messing around with is blaced with it. I've had so 377 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 1: many families come up and talk to me about losing 378 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: you know, their loved ones, their kids, their sisters, their brothers, 379 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: and fentanyl is just everywhere in Colorado, law enforcement said Unfortunately, 380 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: their hands are tied because we're a sanctuary state. They 381 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: can't coordinate with ice to stop it from flowing across 382 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: our southern border of Colorado, and so it's everywhere, and 383 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 1: it's fueling a lot of the crime and the homelessness. 384 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: Homelessness is terrible here. It's taken over Denver Drango Grant Junction, 385 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,880 Speaker 1: and the governor drives by Denver every day, he lives 386 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: in Boulder, sees what's going on. Haven't done, you know, 387 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: alick to do to fix it. It's just not getting 388 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: handled here in Colorado. So I call myself a mom 389 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: on a mission. I've got four great kids. I want 390 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: to turn our state around. I'm the only elected statewide 391 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,199 Speaker 1: Republican in Colorado right now, so I'm excited. We've got 392 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: a great shot to take out Jared Pullis and to 393 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 1: get our Colorado back. Heidi, We've talked to a lot 394 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: of moms. We've had a lot of them, and you 395 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: may have heard him some on this show running all 396 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: over the country, who are just fed up. I'm a dad, 397 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: frankly who's fed up, but so many suburban moms in particular. 398 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: You just mentioned that you have four kids. It seems 399 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: are open to the message based on crime, based on inflation, 400 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: also based on frankly, what's going on in our schools? 401 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: What are you hearing from other moms as you run 402 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: around the state of Colorado. We should also mention, by 403 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 1: the way, that you are going to be having the 404 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 1: first debate against the governor there tonight in Pueblo, Colorado. 405 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: KCSJ is our affiliate there. What are you hearing from 406 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: moms and what do you expect to do in this 407 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: debate tonight? Well, just like what happened in Virginia, parents 408 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 1: across Colorado are really ticked off, including me. They flipped 409 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: ten school boards last year, and we've got an incredible 410 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: parents coalition. We've got a great some other coalitions that 411 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 1: are helping us. But at the end of the day, 412 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: I think parents are going to be who flipped Colorado. 413 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: We've got one of the highest suicide rates for kids, 414 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: one of the highest drug addiction rates for kids here 415 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 1: in Colorado. Obviously Fenton all plays into it. You know, 416 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: we have school shootings here and the governor and Democrats 417 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 1: have decided to pull school resource officers out of schools here. 418 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: So I call Colorado one of the most dangerous states 419 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: for kids now, which is just terrible. That is not 420 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: who we are here. We're speaking of Heidiganal. She's running 421 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: for the governor's office in Colorado. Heidi, tell us about 422 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 1: inflation in your states specifically and how it ties to 423 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: the policies of the Polish administration. Well, we are number one, 424 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: another great award in inflation in the country fifteen point 425 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: six percent since Biden took office, and a lot of 426 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: that is due to Jared Polis's tax and spem policies. 427 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: He's added eighty five new taxes and fees. He's grown 428 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,360 Speaker 1: the size of government here in Colorado by twenty five percent. 429 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 1: He's added four thousand new full time employees into the 430 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: agencies and done over five hundred executive orders. So it's 431 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: comical to me when he goes on the mainstream media 432 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: and talks about how moderate he is or he's libertarian. 433 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: There is nothing moderate about Jared Polis. He is doing 434 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 1: very extreme things here in Colorado and he wants to 435 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: run for president to do it to the rest of 436 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 1: the country. So when you look at this race, you 437 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: also have a really competitive Senate race. Many people are 438 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: not paying attention to Colorado. Sometimes that can work to 439 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,400 Speaker 1: your advantage. What are you seeing on the ground about 440 00:24:55,440 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: the independence moving potentially towards the Republican Party and this 441 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: being something of because I think it's going to happen 442 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 1: a red wave, Like we're a little bit less than 443 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: six weeks away from this election. Are you seeing it 444 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 1: growing as you travel around the state? It is? You know, 445 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 1: I say, we're going to have to win by hand 446 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: to hand combat on the ground, Like we are door knocking, 447 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: going to rallies, having town halls, We're meeting voters where 448 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 1: they are, and we're not just talking to Republicans. We 449 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: love our Republicans, but we're talking to unaffiliated voters who 450 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: make up forty five percent of the voters in Colorado. 451 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: And we're talking to Democrats too. I went to the 452 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: cider festival in Morrison, right by Red Rocks last weekend, 453 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: and I talked to probably twenty different Democrats and not 454 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: one of them would commit that they were voting for 455 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: Jared Polis. They're they're as upset as we are about inflation, 456 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 1: about crime, about homelessness, and about sentinel. Where can people 457 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: go hid? I mean, this is a winnable race for you. 458 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 1: You are running a great campaign so far, and it 459 00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,199 Speaker 1: would be so fantastic to have some sanity in the 460 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: governor's mansion for Colorado, a great state that has been 461 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 1: governed poorly in recent years. For Colorados who want to 462 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 1: get involved, want to help, where should they go? They 463 00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: should go to Heidi forgov dot com. Like I said, 464 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,159 Speaker 1: I'm a mom who cares about education and school choice. 465 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm a small business owner. I built Camp bow Wow, 466 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,719 Speaker 1: the franchise company all over the country and helped entrepreneurs. 467 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: And finally, I'm the daughter of a police officer who 468 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 1: cares about law and order. I missed the old Colorado 469 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: and I want to get it back. I'm gonna be 470 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: on the front line, fighting as hard as I can 471 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: for the next forty days to make that happen.

And you know, 479 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 1: they're lacking tea. Folks, Testosterone is not at the levels 480 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: for a lot of people needs to be, and there's 481 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: something you can actually do about it.

Tea levels, my friends, they've decreased 485 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: every year for the past fifty years with changes in diet, 486 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,919 Speaker 1: all the stress, the workloads. Look, human beings are not 487 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: meant to sit in cubicles all day and it'll be 488 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: eating on the fly and not getting sunshine and exercise. 489 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: So of course tea levels are going down for people. 490 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 1: What can you do to actually bring them back up?

You're come up to New York City. 527 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna spend some time here together in studio. So 528 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: Clay is going to be stepping out here in just 529 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:43,040 Speaker 1: a few minutes. I'll be manning the Fort solo for 530 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: the third hour. But I do think that the the 531 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,640 Speaker 1: as we go into this midterms, the issue of the 532 00:29:52,760 --> 00:30:00,160 Speaker 1: left trans ideology in schools, particularly including athletic competition, and 533 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 1: I think Republicans are still that kind of shy. Obviously 534 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: Senator ramp Paul doesn't, but some Republicans kind of shy 535 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: away from this. This is a ninety five percent issue 536 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: in the country, at least a ninety percent plus issue. 537 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: They've managed to convince people that they're going to be 538 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: called transphobic, and the way that I would address this 539 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: is it's not transphobic at all to say that men 540 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: should compete against men and women should compete against women, 541 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: anymore than it's age phobic to say, hey, eighteen year 542 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: olds shouldn't be able to play Little League Baseball, right like, 543 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: But sports are designed so that competition remains even. And 544 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: I think that a lot of Republicans are just afraid 545 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 1: of being called transphobic. The way that I would address this, 546 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: and I've been pretty clear about this for a long time, 547 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: is I think if you're over eighteen and you want 548 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: to change your gender, I think it's unlikely to make 549 00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,479 Speaker 1: you a lot happier. But you're an adult. You can 550 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: make choices that may or may not be ones that 551 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: I would make. If you're under eighteen and you are 552 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 1: getting a gender reassignment surgery, it should be illegal. In 553 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: my opinion, we don't let eighteen year olds. I mean, 554 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of people out there say why 555 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: don't we let thirteen year olds get tattooed. Some people 556 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 1: know exactly what they want tattooed on their arms for 557 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,959 Speaker 1: the rest of their lives. I've got a fourteen year 558 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 1: old right now, I would tackle him if he told 559 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: me that he was going to go try to get 560 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 1: a tattooed to put on his arm. Right now, how 561 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,719 Speaker 1: in the world are their parents out there that think 562 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: it's okay to let fourteen year olds change their gender. 563 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: And to your point about the differences that we recognize 564 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: even in age and development. I remember I went to 565 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: a school in New York City that ended in the 566 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: eighth grade, and you had to actually apply for a 567 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 1: high school. You had to apply to all these different 568 00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: high schools. But we did. In our athletic conference, they're athletic, 569 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: we're you know, twelve thirteen years old. But in our 570 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: athletic league here in New York City, there were some 571 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: schools that just tacked on a ninth grade. And I 572 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: remember being an eighth grade all these sports teams and 573 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: look at those ninth graders and I was like, that 574 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: guy looks like he's got a beard and three kids 575 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: at home. You know what I mean, Like you mustache factor. 576 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,560 Speaker 1: Puberty is a big difference between a thirteen year old 577 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: who hasn't really hit that level on the fourteen year 578 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: old who has athletically speaking, oh yeah, you know, it's 579 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: it's night and day. My sixth grader played tackle football 580 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: this year buck the eighth. The sixth graders don't play 581 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: varsity by and large, unless they're just freaks already themselves. 582 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: Eighth graders do, eighth graders can't play. I mean that 583 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: one or two year age difference is massive in terms 584 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: of tackle football. Everybody out there listening remembers the first 585 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: kid to get a mustache. You know, there's there's full 586 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: grown eighth graders now, like some guys are like six 587 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: foot and they don't grow any but even as an adult, 588 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:38,479 Speaker 1: like if you're out there, if you're you know, I 589 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,040 Speaker 1: coached high school soccer, and if you told me that 590 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 1: I didn't coach football, obviously, if you told me that, 591 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, a twelve or thirteen year old was gonna 592 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,240 Speaker 1: tackle me, it'd be like, yeah, whatever, you told me 593 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,360 Speaker 1: a fifteen or sixteen year old's gonna tackle me, and 594 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,960 Speaker 1: be like that could be a big outchie. You know, 595 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 1: there's a huge difference. So we recognize that even for 596 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: those relative small age gaps, the gap when you add 597 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: puberty into it, and between women and men, the fact 598 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,240 Speaker 1: that we even have to have but they I just 599 00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:09,120 Speaker 1: want to be clear, they force us to have the conversation. 600 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: That's right, because if you don't have it, they get 601 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: what they want, which is the destruction of women's sports. Well, 602 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:16,360 Speaker 1: and that's why I give credit to Riley Gaines, who's 603 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 1: a University of Kentucky swimmer, for speaking out and she's 604 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 1: going to be on Buck with you and Rand Paul 605 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:25,240 Speaker 1: at two thirty. I also want to mention we just 606 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: talked with Heidi Gannal who is running. They're a pole 607 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 1: that just came out from Trafalgar today. Single digit race 608 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: in Colorado for both the governors and the Senate race. 609 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: There are Joe O'Day is running in that Senate race. 610 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 1: So I just want to encourage and then I want 611 00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,640 Speaker 1: to give you an update on this one too. Carry 612 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 1: Lake up three points in Arizona, who we believe is 613 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: going to be a big time stud But we had 614 00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: last week Christine Drayson, who is running for the governor 615 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,959 Speaker 1: of Oregon. She told us there had not been a 616 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,040 Speaker 1: Republican governor in Oregon since the nineteen eighties, since Top 617 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:11,520 Speaker 1: Gun one was in the theaters. She's now according to 618 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: the Oregonian poll that just came out today, she is 619 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:19,000 Speaker 1: up one point in that race. So my point on 620 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: This is if you're out there listening to us in 621 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 1: Oregon or Washington or Colorado, and you have been frustrated 622 00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: because you have seen consistently Democrats win elections in your states. 623 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: These are very winnable races. So I don't want you 624 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 1: to be curled up in the fetal position like, oh, 625 00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: the liberals always win, left wingers always win in the 626 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,759 Speaker 1: state Colorado, Washington, Oregon, just as an example, all winnable 627 00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:50,960 Speaker 1: races right now for Republicans. Don't let them convince you 628 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 1: that these are not real races. And here in my 629 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: home state of New York, we have Lee Zelden going 630 00:34:57,120 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 1: to be joining us tomorrow here on the show. I 631 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: honestly I would sit down with that. I would sit 632 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: down with any Democrat, and I would really want to 633 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: push them on. How could Kathy Hokel. I don't say 634 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 1: this to be mean. I really don't like. We're actually 635 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: two very nice guys in general. I think in the 636 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, we're nice guys, Like we can 637 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,279 Speaker 1: be a little salty, but we actually mean people well 638 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: and want the best for everybody. I don't say it 639 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: to be mean. The governor of New York is a moron. Okay, 640 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: she's not up for the job. That's way more devastating. 641 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,120 Speaker 1: After you say I'm a nice guy, would you say 642 00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,400 Speaker 1: she's a more just I'm just so that if you 643 00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 1: were just like, she's a moron, you go through it's devastating. 644 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 1: We're pretty nice guys, but she's really bad at her job. 645 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 1: She's just really bad at the job, and people are 646 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: suffering as a result. Lee Zelman, for any of the 647 00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: New Yorkers out there who are thinking one way or 648 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 1: the other, he's going to do things that are better 649 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,719 Speaker 1: for the state. You may not agree with everything he 650 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: says about everything. You will be safer, the economy will 651 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: be stronger, you will be less harassed. But I mean, 652 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 1: I just go down the list to the things that 653 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: matter to people who live in my home state. So 654 00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: I bring it up, Clay, because these are races that 655 00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: are winnable. Yes, New York is winnable. Oregon is looking winnable. 656 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,280 Speaker 1: Heidie ganologies on from Colorado. If there is a surge 657 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: here at the last moment of interest and support, that 658 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 1: may be winnable too. Independence are breakage events here politically 659 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: for us.
