Happy Monday, welcome to another

0:02

huge episode of Trigger! Another

0:04

day with another big batch

0:07

of breaking news. And my

0:09

father seems to have an

0:11

extraordinary talent, more so perhaps

0:14

than ever before, for forcing

0:16

the left to make the

0:18

most unpopular positions, as they

0:21

melt down at each and

0:23

every turn. I know I've

0:25

said he's the 80-20 president,

0:28

right? He picks an 80%

0:30

issue, goes all in, the

0:33

Trump-arrangement syndrome, Democrats forced to

0:35

take the 20% because they

0:38

literally cannot help themselves. But

0:40

now, it may be more like,

0:42

90-10. And by the way, has

0:44

anyone, anyone, like in the history

0:46

of the world, maybe, Heroito

0:48

in Japan, maybe Napoleon going

0:51

into Russia, but like... Has

0:53

anyone overplayed their hand

0:55

more than Vladimir Zelenski on

0:57

Friday? So we're going to

0:59

get into all of that

1:01

in the news round down.

1:03

It's wild what's going on.

1:05

And later, we'll shift gears

1:07

and sit down with meteorologists

1:09

that Joe Bastardi started to

1:11

discuss all things whether... climate,

1:13

climate hysteria, and so on

1:15

and so forth. So you're

1:17

going to learn a lot.

1:19

1:23

1:25

major episodes. If you miss one

1:28

1:36

their podcast that way, make sure

1:38

1:40

how we get it out there.

1:42

MxM News. A little bit better

1:45

than the mainstream media will

1:47

show you everything and you

1:49

can actually make an informed

1:51

decision for Yet another brand

1:54

new sponsor, Burna Technologies. They

1:56

make these. We talk about it all

1:58

the time. Protecting yourself in a

2:00

time of crisis and doing it

2:02

with companies who support you. That's

2:04

why I've partnered with Burna a

2:06

leader in self-defiance. leading

4:07

Taiwanese microchip

4:09

manufacturer just announced

4:11

a $100 billion investment

4:13

in the United States

4:16

to avoid the tariffs

4:18

that were coming. This

4:21

is what America first

4:23

looks like, guys. protecting

4:25

American business interests, protecting

4:28

American jobs, and not

4:30

sending blank checks to

4:32

the rest of the

4:35

world at the expense

4:37

of the American taxpayer,

4:40

which inevitably brings

4:42

us to Ukraine, where

4:45

my father is showing

4:47

exactly what American strength

4:49

looks like. Don't

4:55

tell

4:58

us

5:01

what

5:04

we're

5:07

going

5:11

to

5:14

feel.

5:17

Honestly?

5:20

Again, as I said early, I'm not

5:23

sure if anyone in the

5:25

history of cards has

5:27

perhaps overplayed their hand,

5:30

like Zilinsky. He walks

5:32

into the Oval Office.

5:34

He makes maximum demands

5:36

with no leverage and

5:38

derails the entire mineral

5:41

deal and ultimately a

5:43

path towards peace. Does

5:45

Zilinsky even want peace?

5:47

Maybe he's used to dealing with

5:49

the other clown who we could come

5:52

in and he could browbeat and get

5:54

hundreds of billions of dollars and no

5:56

pushback, whatever it was be, you know,

5:59

maybe Joe was... getting 10% for

6:01

the big guy or Hunter was

6:03

going to be put on a

6:05

board, who knows what was extracted

6:07

from it. But think about this.

6:10

Imagine former actor Vladimir Zelinsky. Imagine

6:12

thinking that it's a great idea

6:14

to have a deal that was

6:16

supposed to be signed in Munich

6:18

and it was supposed to be

6:20

signed in Paris. Then it's going

6:23

to come to DC to sign.

6:25

And in the press briefing and

6:27

in a conversation in front of

6:29

the world. He tries to renegotiate

6:31

a deal that had been agreed

6:34

on with Donald Trump, like that's

6:36

the place to do it. I

6:38

mean, it only shows you how

6:40

incompetent this guy is. It's so

6:42

obvious to the world. You're going

6:45

to do that. You're going to

6:47

renege on an agreement in front

6:49

of people live with Donald Trump?

6:51

Like, it's not like, hey, we

6:53

got to change some nuance. It

6:56

was like, we're just going to

6:58

start over from scratch and forget

7:00

all those weeks of work that

7:02

you guys have been doing. What

7:04

exactly is he thinking? Well, here's

7:07

national security advisor Mike Waltz earlier

7:09

today. Success looks like President Zelensky

7:11

sitting down and talking the terms

7:13

of peace. talking about what he

7:15

needs to see, Ukraine needs to

7:18

see to get to a partial

7:20

ceasefire, a permanent ceasefire, and an

7:22

end to this war. And what

7:24

became so evident to us in

7:26

that session was he's not ready

7:28

to talk peace at all. But

7:31

here's the problem. Time is not

7:33

on his side, time is not

7:35

on the side of just forever

7:37

continuing this conflict. The American people's

7:39

patience is not unlimited. their wallets

7:42

are not unlimited, and our stockpiles

7:44

and munitions are not unlimited, that

7:46

we need for all kinds of

7:48

contingencies around the world. So the

7:50

time to talk is now, and

7:53

what we're hearing in terms of

7:55

alternatives, whether it's the Democrats or

7:57

leaders around the world, is essentially

7:59

continuing this grinding... World War I

8:01

style trench warfare that is a

8:04

meat grinder of people, munitions, and

8:06

national treasure. The president campaigned on

8:08

ending this war. He was elected

8:10

to end this war. He will

8:12

be the peacemaker in chief. But

8:15

it was really confounding to us

8:17

that Zwenzi could have left the

8:19

White House Friday having the U.S.

8:21

And Ukraine bound together economically for

8:23

a generation. You have the British

8:26

talking about troops on the ground

8:28

in a security guarantee, the French

8:30

talking about troops on the ground

8:32

in security guarantee. We even had

8:34

the NATO Secretary General talk to

8:36

the President just before the Zilinsky

8:38

meeting. So this was no ambush.

8:41

This was an opportunity and a

8:43

moment. And I think President Zilinsky

8:45

truly did his country a real

8:47

disservice by not having a positive

8:49

outcome Friday. And we'll see where

8:51

things are going forward. After Zalinsky's

8:54

disaster meeting last week, my

8:56

father is reportedly meeting

8:58

with key officials today to

9:00

discuss the possibility of

9:03

winding down the endless

9:05

taxpayer-funded aid. And Zalinsky

9:07

says half of its missing. He wants

9:09

to keep the war going on forever.

9:11

He said that, you know, he doesn't

9:13

see peace anytime anywhere soon, even remotely.

9:16

I mean, well, he's losing ground. I

9:18

can see that based on there's no

9:20

reports of them ever gaining ground, although

9:22

it would be interesting. I know Starlink

9:24

and Elon is basically their com system.

9:27

So I wonder if we could objectively

9:29

ask, because it's nothing the Russians don't

9:31

know. We wouldn't be giving up any

9:33

kind of national security or Ukrainian

9:35

security. You ask, where are the terminals

9:37

moving? Are they advancing forward towards Russia

9:40

to regain all the ground that they

9:42

lost, or are they regularly moving back?

9:44

Maybe the American public should actually... Know

9:47

that, because I think that would help

9:49

them formulate a decision, because right now

9:51

it feels like so many on the

9:53

left are basing this on the, in

9:56

my mind, incredibly ridiculous and false notion

9:58

that Ukraine is somehow winning. If we've

10:00

given them a quarter of a

10:02

trillion dollars and they're still losing,

10:04

what's the cost to actually win?

10:07

What does victory look like? Has

10:09

anyone even bothered to ask those

10:11

questions? Because I've been asking them

10:13

for three years, including two high-powered

10:15

people in Washington DC, and no

10:17

one seems to know the answer.

10:19

But I think the way to

10:21

get them to the table is

10:23

to wind down the aid. Because,

10:25

yeah, now that Europe's not stepping

10:28

up. There was an interesting chart

10:30

I posted on my Twitter today

10:32

that says a majority of the

10:34

Europeans really want to help increase

10:36

the aid of Ukraine. The only

10:38

problem with the second part of

10:40

the chart was very few of

10:42

them actually wanted to do that

10:44

by paying for it with their

10:46

own country's money. Huh? We got

10:49

America to be the schmuck for

10:51

the world. America could just keep

10:53

doing it. Who cares about their

10:55

kids and their schools and their

10:57

hospitals and their infrastructure? I mean...

10:59

Of course, I want to help

11:01

feed starving people all over the

11:03

world. I'd love to do that.

11:05

Have I ever going to give

11:08

up a meal? Probably not, guys.

11:10

I mean, the virtue signaling is

11:12

insane, but that's exactly what they're

11:14

saying. So winding down the aid

11:16

may be right. The New York

11:18

Post is reporting that this may

11:20

be the start of a pivot

11:22

away from the Ukraine conflict and

11:24

a pivot towards building alliances across

11:26

Latin America, with leaders like Buchale.

11:29

Mille and Maria Corina Machado who

11:31

we had on the show last

11:33

week from Venezuela. That's a big

11:35

deal. That's pretty useful. That's in

11:37

our backyard. That's relevant to us.

11:39

Before this conflict, I guarantee you

11:41

the vast majority of Americans couldn't

11:43

have found Ukraine on a map.

11:45

And while Kiev's a beautiful city,

11:47

I was there in the early

11:50

2000s. I don't think it's worth

11:52

mortgaging our future and our children's

11:54

future. You don't have to believe

11:56

me. Just look it. our own

11:58

governmental agencies talking about Ukraine, even

12:00

relative to Russia, before they somehow

12:02

became the deity. of Western civilization.

12:04

And get this guys. Zalinsky was

12:06

asked about his future and the

12:09

calls for him to resign or

12:11

at least hold an election. And

12:13

here's how he responded guys. You're

12:15

gonna really get a kick out

12:17

of this one. Since the incident

12:19

Senator Lindsay Graham said that perhaps

12:21

you should consider resigning, Speaker Mike

12:23

Johnson today said that maybe you

12:25

should consider resigning. Is your attitude

12:27

it's not their business? Lindsay

12:34

Graham is a very good

12:36

guy, a very nice, speaking

12:38

who must be the president

12:40

and whether I shall resign.

12:42

I can Give him the

12:44

citizenship of Ukraine, he will

12:46

become the citizen of our

12:48

country and then his voice

12:50

will start to gain weight

12:52

and I will hear him

12:55

as a citizen of Ukraine

12:57

on the topic of who

12:59

must be the president. But

13:01

Lindsay represents the party that

13:03

fights for democratic values and

13:05

Anyway, the president of Ukraine

13:07

will have to be chosen

13:09

not at home at Lindsay's

13:11

Graham home, but in Ukraine

13:13

So let me get this

13:15

straight. We're not going to

13:17

hold an election to preserve

13:19

democracy. I mean it sounds

13:21

almost like the Democrats in

13:23

Well for the last few

13:25

years Explain that to me,

13:27

please. The reality is this,

13:29

Zalinsky is so unpopular in

13:31

Ukraine, many polls have him

13:33

at 16% if he were

13:35

to run today. And by

13:37

the way, his only chance

13:39

to probably win an election

13:41

would be... to seed the

13:43

eastern half of Ukraine to

13:45

Russia because they're ethnic Russians

13:47

who are probably sick of

13:50

dying for something they don't

13:52

even believe in. Maybe that's

13:54

the way to do it.

13:56

Maybe that's his actual out

13:58

where he can remain in

14:00

power and the world will

14:02

feel really sorry for him.

14:04

Not because it's real, not

14:06

because it represents all of

14:08

Ukraine, but because that's probably

14:10

his only actual chance of

14:12

winning anything. And of course,

14:14

guys, the memes. The memes

14:16

and the reaction to this

14:18

whole sequence have been incredible.

14:20

Here's one video I posted

14:22

on X. Imagine if Zelinsky

14:24

and my father were at

14:26

a UFC press conference. How

14:28

many paper views with that

14:30

cell? I think it'd be

14:32

pretty epic. Not in a

14:34

good position. You don't have

14:36

the cards right now. With

14:38

us you start having cars.

14:40

Right now you don't have

14:42

your plane cars. You're playing

14:45

with. You're gambling with the

14:47

lives of millions of people.

14:49

You're gambling with World War

14:51

3. You're gambling with World

14:53

War 3. And what you're

14:55

doing is very disrespectful to

14:57

the country, this country. People

14:59

that died. You're running low

15:01

on soldiers. It would be

15:03

a damn good thing. And

15:05

then you tell us. I

15:07

don't want to ceasefire. I

15:09

don't want to ceasefire. I

15:11

want to go and I

15:13

want this. Look, if you

15:15

can get a ceasefire right

15:17

now, I tell you, you

15:19

take it. So the bullet

15:21

stopped flying and your men

15:23

stopped getting killed. Of course,

15:25

we want to stop the

15:27

war. But you're saying you

15:29

don't want to seize fire?

15:31

I want to seize fire

15:33

and tease. Because you get

15:35

a ceasefire faster than anything.

15:37

now actually has a bench

15:40

and a future beyond Trump

15:42

that just doesn't revert back

15:44

to neo-con, warmongering, weak conservatism

15:46

that we've seen from so

15:48

many. in the past few

15:50

decades. And just more importantly,

15:52

how much of an upgrade

15:54

we've gotten for our country

15:56

in the number two spot.

15:58

And just check out this

16:00

chart. This is what I

16:02

was talking about earlier, right?

16:04

The charts popping up here,

16:06

I forgot that this was

16:08

gonna be in the intro,

16:10

so I already talked about

16:12

it, but Europe keeps saying

16:14

that Ukraine needs more support.

16:16

But looking at these numbers.

16:18

They don't actually want to

16:20

do it if it comes

16:22

out of their own countries.

16:24

Think about that. They love

16:26

it. I want to support

16:28

everything. Everyone can win. I

16:30

don't want to pay for

16:32

it. They want America to

16:35

keep spending while they virtue

16:37

signal about saving democracy. You

16:39

can't make it up anymore.

16:41

Although I guess if you've

16:43

watched anything that has come

16:45

out of Europe in the

16:47

last few years, you realize

16:49

why there are a civilization

16:51

that is probably gone. And

16:53

it probably explains so much.

16:55

Meanwhile. A new report finds

16:57

that the Pentagon and officials

16:59

there were caught using taxpayer-funded

17:01

credit cards at casinos, bars,

17:03

and clubs. These cards need

17:05

to be turned off, and

17:07

the taxpayers need to reimburse

17:09

for this insanity. And how

17:11

long has this been going

17:13

on? Who was controlling it?

17:15

Did anyone even care? And

17:17

they're going to casinos, bars,

17:19

and whatever else? On American

17:21

taxpayer dime having nothing to

17:23

do with the purpose of

17:25

the credit card. And no

17:27

one was even watching, including

17:30

Republicans. No one even cared.

17:32

There was no over sight

17:34

to any of it. How

17:36

many other agencies and departments

17:38

are doing this too? It's

17:40

just another reason why we

17:42

need Doge more than ever.

17:44

I hope those kids, or

17:46

those computers, find it all.

17:48

I hope we expose it

17:50

for everyone to see, because

17:52

I can guarantee this, when

17:54

even the hardcore. Ridiculous Democrats

17:56

unless they're on the take

17:58

unless they're you know the

18:00

indoor or direct beneficiaries of

18:02

this waste, fraud, and abuse,

18:04

which I imagine many are,

18:06

I imagine even they too

18:08

will recognize that this probably

18:10

is not the best use of their

18:12

funds. In just six weeks,

18:15

Doge has saved American taxpayers

18:17

an estimated 105 billion dollars.

18:20

B. B. billions. Not millions,

18:22

billions. A hundred and five billion.

18:24

In a few weeks. They've covered

18:27

it up, they've seen it, they

18:29

realize how ridiculous is. Imagine what

18:31

four years of this can do. You

18:34

need to support them. You need to

18:36

not buy into the nonsense. Look into

18:38

the details. Look into the list of

18:40

the things that are finding. I'm literally

18:42

starting to write a new book about

18:44

it. It's that bad. It's that egregious.

18:46

Government spending is down.

18:49

illegal border crossings are down like

18:51

95% I mean think about that

18:53

so it was doable all along

18:55

right we we could do this

18:57

when we do something we could

18:59

do I mean you know can't

19:01

build a wall I mean historically

19:03

it's never worked especially like the

19:05

3,000 long mile wall in China like

19:07

I guess it worked down it wouldn't

19:10

work now deportations are

19:12

up investments into America

19:14

are up and the Democrats are

19:17

melting down As my father once

19:19

wrote, change your attitude and

19:21

gain some altitude. You'll love

19:23

it up here. And he

19:25

couldn't be more right. And

19:27

we have so much more

19:29

coming up with Joe Bastardi,

19:32

but first, another word from

19:34

a really important sponsor.

19:36

Now, like I always say,

19:38

we're cleaning out the waste

19:40

inside the IRS, but if

19:42

you are still overwhelmed with

19:44

back taxes or unfiled returns,

19:46

Tax Network USA is here

19:48

to help. Tax Network USA

19:50

is the nation's premier tax

19:52

relief firm and has negotiated

19:54

over $1 billion in tax

19:56

relief for their clients. Their

19:58

services include penalty forgiveness, hard

20:00

programs, compromise solutions for lump sum

20:02

21:18

founder of weatherbell.com, meteorologist Joe Bastardi.

21:20

Joe, good to have you back,

21:22

man. How's it going? It's excellent.

21:24

I want to say I'm one

21:26

of the sort of the co-founders

21:29

in that my CEO was the

21:31

founder, but I am. directly involved.

21:33

I was there at the beginning.

21:35

In fact, I tell people... Well,

21:37

you're also in the private sector,

21:39

so there's a there's consequence to

21:41

being wrong, unlike in government where

21:43

they just brush it under the

21:45

table and move on, right? Well,

21:47

yeah, the crucible competition, it's a

21:49

good thing, you know, I wear

21:51

the cross of my calling here.

21:53

Penn used to wrestle Penn State,

21:55

I'm around all the time, and

21:57

you realize that... both wrestling and

21:59

the weather. You have to be

22:01

right or be right most of

22:04

the time. If you're in the

22:06

private sector, why pay me? Why

22:08

pay me for anything if I'm

22:10

not adding value? So that's an

22:12

interesting situation since I'm the oldest

22:14

guy left on the block now.

22:16

Yeah. Well, that's always the joke.

22:18

Like I always wanted to be

22:20

the weatherman because you can be

22:22

right like 10% of the time

22:24

and still get paid. So I'm

22:26

wondering. Not in the private, not

22:28

in the private sector. It's not

22:30

like that at all. There's immense

22:32

competition. I think a few years

22:34

ago, there were 1,700 different meteorologists

22:36

or weather organizations that were considered

22:39

private sectors. So there's a lot

22:41

of competition among us. And of

22:43

course, the National Weather Service is

22:45

good. It's not that, you know,

22:47

people, people rip on them all

22:49

the time. And I've found over

22:51

the years that their forecasts are

22:53

improving. But that's good. I never

22:55

wanted to beat somebody because they

22:57

were bad. I always want to

22:59

beat someone because they were good.

23:01

And I do like to compete.

23:03

Well, listen, I think it's important.

23:05

Hopefully we fix some of that

23:07

stuff. I know there's a lot

23:09

of issues and some of the

23:11

agencies and some of the administration

23:14

and you know, whether it's Noah

23:16

or any of these other things.

23:18

So, you know, hopefully there's some

23:20

talent there, but it's probably the

23:22

leadership that seems to be the

23:24

overarching. So even if you have

23:26

talent, they're not allowed to do

23:28

things because they're beholden to, you

23:30

know, whatever the woke talking points

23:32

may be. Yeah, well, they have

23:34

to think about if they put

23:36

something out what the repercussions are,

23:38

you know, if you're actually a

23:40

scientist, you can't, you can't, you

23:42

can't sit there and say, well,

23:44

I'm coming up with a forecast

23:46

and the storms aimed here, but

23:49

I have to consider what that

23:51

means to the people, right? to

23:53

do is make the accurate forecast

23:55

and then the people in the

23:57

way of that will decide. We

23:59

put out a forecast. December 7th,

24:01

2023, outlining in red what was

24:03

going to happen in the hurricane

24:05

season of 2024. Now I don't

24:07

have a forecast like that this

24:09

year because I'm not certain, but

24:11

I was darn certain of what

24:13

I was looking at back in

24:15

23. We call it the hurricane

24:17

season from hell. It looked like

24:19

2017-2020 and by gosh it turned

24:21

out that way. You can do

24:24

that sometimes and when you get

24:26

way out in front of something

24:28

you literally set traps for the

24:30

climate hysterics that come back and say

24:32

well look what's going on so well

24:34

wait a minute how come this was

24:37

out a year in advance why didn't

24:39

you why didn't you take a look

24:41

at that? So what happens is one

24:43

of the biggest things that I've

24:45

always been not upset about

24:48

the Plus me angst, we're punching bags. I

24:50

was never taught to be a punching bag.

24:52

We wait for something to happen, like the

24:54

Tennessee flood or the wildfires or whatever. And

24:56

then the media gets right out there with

24:58

the climate change agenda, right? And this is

25:00

what Noah, the top of Noah, pushes this.

25:02

Not the, you know, it's all like the

25:05

FBI. You have a lot of great agents

25:07

in there and you have a lot of

25:09

guys that, no, I just love the weather

25:11

they want to forecast the weather, a forecast

25:13

the weather, but you just watch constant, constant,

25:15

constant, constant, constant, repetition, climate change, climate is

25:17

worse than ever. And what happens is

25:20

you have to change, you have

25:22

to change your focus, weather, weather,

25:24

weather. I think you know Alex

25:26

Epstein, for instance, he wrote, great

25:28

book, more case for fossil fuels.

25:30

And Alex is right, no matter

25:32

what's causing it, simply adapt to

25:34

it. That's what problems and adversity

25:36

are about. They are about us

25:39

advancing. Problem comes in your way,

25:41

you have to advance. The weather's

25:43

causing your problem and the weather's

25:45

always going to cause your problems,

25:48

Don, because we've got three times

25:50

as many people living in the

25:52

way of stuff with infrastructure that's

25:54

much more important. I always use

25:56

hurricane hazel at Myrtle Beach, October

25:59

15, 1954. by far my opinion, the latest,

26:01

greatest hurricane on record, a category for hurricane in

26:03

the middle of October, hitting North Carolina, South Carolina.

26:05

If it hit today, it probably be a quarter

26:07

trillion dollar storm because Myrtle Beach in that area

26:09

was not built up the way it is now,

26:11

right? So what happens is that you can get

26:13

guys like Al Gore. who have a very interesting

26:15

philosophy on our climate. They're the kind of guys

26:17

that they would put three times the amount of

26:20

pins on a bowling alley and say, look, I'm

26:22

knocking down more pins every time I throw a

26:24

ball. We've got more in the way. So there

26:26

is more risk involved and that involves getting out

26:28

in front in the forecast and also educating people

26:30

as to why these things are happening. Yeah, that's

26:32

actually really interesting. I never thought of it that

26:34

way. Hurricanes seem to be more violent. 20 years.

26:36

Well, well, actually the last 40-50 year, but what

26:38

happens is if you're a geek like me, for

26:40

instance, you see these Tennessee floods that just happened?

26:42

This is child's play compared to what happened in

26:44

37 in the Tennessee and Ohio River valleys with

26:47

that. I was looking at that today. The those

26:49

floods in there and the temperature contrast was even

26:51

greater than the temperature contrast we see today. In

26:53

fact, 3637. back-to-back was probably the worst winter flooding

26:55

in two winters in a row that we've seen

26:57

in the Ohio River Valley in those areas. We

26:59

have similar weather patterns, except it was on steroids.

27:01

There are a lot of people say to me,

27:03

the weather is going crazy, I go, I go

27:05

back and I look at the maps and that's

27:07

because my father was a meteorologist and he always

27:09

preached to me, look, the weather is an infinite

27:11

system, you're not going to be able to get

27:14

it right all the time because it's always changing.

27:16

You have a basis of it. But how many

27:18

Americans know what happened in 1937 in Tennessee? Nobody.

27:20

I know it. So when someone comes out and

27:22

tells me, well that's climate change, I go.

27:24

What are you, crazy? I

27:26

mean, you know, it's

27:28

interesting. One of my favorite

27:30

hurricane maps of all

27:32

time, and I don't want

27:34

people to get the

27:36

wrong impression about me. I

27:38

am a weather geek.

27:41

In September 4th, 1933, there

27:43

was a hurricane hitting,

27:45

category three, hitting at Mar

27:47

-a -Lago, all right? Another

27:49

category three was hitting at

27:51

Brownsville. Two category threes

27:53

hitting the US within 18

27:55

hours down along the

27:57

Gulf Coast, or the South

27:59

Gulf of America coast

28:01

there. And all I'm saying

28:03

is if that happened

28:05

today, do you realize what

28:08

the media would do?

28:10

And yet someone like me

28:12

goes, wait a minute,

28:14

I've seen things far worse

28:16

than this. And today

28:18

you get punished for knowing

28:20

stuff as opposed to

28:22

before you used to get

28:24

punished for not knowing

28:26

it. Yeah, well, we were

28:28

supposed to be underwater

28:30

a few years ago, according

28:32

to some of the

28:35

great meteorologists of our time,

28:37

Al Gore and Greta

28:39

Thunberg. But last week, J

28:41

.D. Vance told the Munich

28:43

Security Conference that if

28:45

we could survive a decade

28:47

of Greta Thunberg being

28:49

sort of the end -all,

28:51

be -all of meteorology, they

28:53

could handle a few minutes

28:55

of Elon Musk doing

28:57

what he's doing. And the

28:59

left is now attacking

29:01

the Trump administration and specifically

29:04

Doge, suggesting that the

29:06

cuts to government waste could

29:08

be bad for the

29:10

climate. I mean, that seems

29:12

to be insane, but

29:14

there's a recent article in

29:16

Forbes titled, Are tariffs

29:18

a bad idea for climate

29:20

change? Suggesting that tariffs

29:22

are bad because we can't

29:24

import many Chinese solar

29:26

panels. I mean, are these

29:28

people just absolutely insane?

29:31

Well, you know, I have

29:33

learned over the years

29:35

that I try to figure

29:37

out, well, what's the

29:39

other guy looking at? And

29:41

see with me, the

29:43

only reason I'm involved in

29:45

climate is because I

29:47

need it for what I

29:49

do, which is forecasting

29:51

the weather. Most of these

29:53

people that you're talking

29:55

about, if the whole climate

29:58

argument went away tomorrow,

30:00

what would they do? So

30:02

they... continually they always they always feed back

30:04

toward what their lifeline is and I hate to

30:06

say it so I know I'm sure we have

30:08

people on the left but listen

30:10

to this because they want to

30:12

pick out every word someone says

30:14

but you know what I understand

30:16

what your problem is if your

30:18

problem is that you have invested

30:20

your entire life if your God

30:22

is the climate then God forbid

30:24

Someone takes that away from you.

30:26

What are you going to do?

30:28

So you're going to understand you're

30:30

dealing with people who are fighting

30:32

as if they're fighting for their

30:34

very lives because of the way

30:36

it is. See, no matter what the

30:39

climate does, I get up the next morning

30:41

and I have to forecast the weather, right?

30:43

So every day is Christmas to me. And

30:45

that's the one thing I wanted to say,

30:47

you know, you need people in NOAA that love

30:50

the weather so much that they think they

30:52

hit the lottery by going to work

30:54

by going to work. Let's see, that's

30:56

how I think of, look, I have

30:58

internal gratitude toward my Heavenly Father for

31:01

giving me whatever talent I have, and

31:03

you need people like that. And when

31:05

you have people like that that love

31:07

something so much, they'll do anything to

31:10

make it right. And that's what we gotta

31:12

do. Yeah, I mean, I think you're 100%

31:14

right. The, you know, the left

31:16

has replaced God with various deities.

31:18

They're sort of always ever changing.

31:21

I've used the example, you know.

31:23

Greta Thunberg as the high priestess

31:25

of climate change, that becomes the

31:27

gospel. It goes, you know, Zilinsky

31:29

as the the Lord of Ukraine

31:31

and it's the most wonderful thing

31:34

in the world. We must now

31:36

go for this, you know, corrupt

31:38

nation and support them at all

31:40

costs. You have numerous other, you

31:42

know, Anthony Fauci is the high

31:45

priest of COVID. It's like

31:47

they're replacing the God that they

31:49

forgot all about or disavowed. The

31:51

reason that happens is they're lacking,

31:53

and it's our education system and our

31:55

belief system that has really taken a

31:57

hit over the last 40 to 50.

32:00

years. I think that when the Vietnam

32:02

War came around and people realized that

32:04

the government may be lying to them,

32:06

we lost faith in our government. We

32:09

started losing faith in our government. We

32:11

started losing faith in our government. And

32:13

then we started losing faith in our

32:15

God. And so what happens is you

32:18

have to, there's something God is putting

32:20

all of us to reach for something

32:22

bigger than ourselves. So what happens is

32:24

if you don't have the centering point

32:27

that you're supposed to have that you

32:29

were blessed with, you go look for

32:31

something else. It'll be climate, it'll be,

32:34

you know, the whole trans issue or

32:36

whatever. And you have to have something

32:38

that is bigger than you that you

32:40

can go for. And the problem is,

32:43

you know, I look at everything in

32:45

spiritual combat, the problem is, I don't

32:47

believe a person's inherently evil, but I

32:49

think there's evil out there. You know,

32:52

one of the wrestling coaches at Penn

32:54

State used to say, if something distracts

32:56

you, it's destructive. It's destructive. So what

32:59

is your true mission in life? that

33:01

you're worshiping, that you're actually, this is

33:03

more important than anything? Guess what? It

33:05

turns out to be destructive to what

33:08

your true causes. And that's what you

33:10

see. I mean, yeah, a 17-year-old female

33:12

is screaming and yelling at people. I

33:14

said, they're going, wait a minute. First

33:17

of all, I found out later, she

33:19

was a depressed person, and that's always

33:21

a hard thing to do. But that

33:23

sort of cured her depression. Every time

33:26

you have anger and rage, those endorphins

33:28

get set off and you feel better

33:30

about yourself and all this other stuff.

33:33

It was a giant, 20, 30 years

33:35

from now, people go look at it,

33:37

that was a giant exercise in simply

33:39

trying to correct a problem she had,

33:42

right? And yet the entire world just

33:44

piles in after her, or a lot

33:46

of people did. And then it's outdoor.

33:48

When has he been right about anything?

33:51

Or even Barack Obama. If you're telling

33:53

me to sea levels arising, what are

33:55

you doing? Building a mansion or buying

33:57

a mansion that's at the top of

34:00

a funnel-shaped bay at Martha's Vineyard. right?

34:02

You know, a funnel-shaped bay facing south?

34:04

You know what happens to water when

34:07

it enters a funnel-shaped bay? Let's say

34:09

like the 1938 hurricane. It goes out?

34:11

You know, I want to be friends

34:13

with Barack Obama so I could go

34:16

ride out a hurricane nears place. So

34:18

can you, yeah, we've brought up some

34:20

of the most egregious examples, but can

34:22

you explain where the left goes wrong

34:25

in their hysterical climate predictions? Again, you

34:27

know, according to Al Gore, we should

34:29

already be underwater. I mean, I live

34:32

on, at sea level in Florida. I

34:34

mean, I haven't seen much of a

34:36

change in the few years that I've

34:38

been here. They said we should have

34:41

been underwater a few years ago. They

34:43

always sort of then move the goalpost,

34:45

and it's going to be 10 more

34:47

years until. and what's the scam behind

34:50

all of it? Well, are they really

34:52

going wrong? They still have a great

34:54

deal of the population believing all this

34:56

stuff. So what is it really real

34:59

goal? They don't care about being actually

35:01

right about the weather. Are they getting

35:03

paid? Are they getting paid to promote

35:06

an agenda? And that agenda wants to

35:08

put shackles on the American freedom. that

35:10

we have, okay, wants to stop us

35:12

from advancing. Remember, this country is sort

35:15

of like what Rowing said, a man's

35:17

reach must exceed his grasp or what's

35:19

heaven for, right? As a country, we

35:21

should always be trying to exceed our

35:24

grass, our reach should exceed what we

35:26

can actually grab because that's where God

35:28

comes involved. So what these people are

35:31

actually doing is, they don't care about

35:33

the answer. They just want to get

35:35

the horse out of the barn and

35:37

get people. in this sound, by society,

35:40

this very distracted society to just buy

35:42

into it. And that's where we've gone

35:44

wrong. We've never understood that it's not

35:46

about the science. It's about their agenda,

35:49

right? And so, I mean, someday, Maralago

35:51

is liable to be underwater. As a

35:53

matter of fact, I don't know. You

35:55

know, it's kind of, it's kind of

35:58

funny. I look at the tracks of

36:00

the 19, in the 1940s, the hurricane,

36:02

with Marlotte, everybody's gonna use Marlotteau because

36:05

that's where, that's where you guys live,

36:07

right? They go, of course they're gonna

36:09

use that, right? But if I looked

36:11

at those tracks, I go, how the

36:14

heck is it not been hit by

36:16

a major hurricane since 1992? has not

36:18

been, we're on the west coast, we've

36:20

been with cycles on the west coast,

36:23

but it's remarkable that the area from

36:25

Palm, West Palm Beach Southward has not

36:27

had a major hurricane hit, they're in

36:30

a hurricane drought, compared to what's happened

36:32

before. Just like New England and Long

36:34

Island, they're in a hurricane drought. They

36:36

used to get hit once every seven

36:39

years, up until 1991, and then there's

36:41

nothing since then. So, what people, people

36:43

don't understand. care about the reality. Think

36:45

about this. So the Arctic ice cap

36:48

is going to melt, right? And that's

36:50

going to flood your house, right? Well,

36:52

how is that possible? If you put

36:54

ice cubes in water or in a

36:57

glass of water, when the ice cubes

36:59

melt, just a... Does the liquid overflow?

37:01

No. The ice cap could melt tomorrow

37:04

and you're not going to have any

37:06

problems. What you would have problems is

37:08

if the glaciers and all that stuff

37:10

are Greenland ice cap melted or the

37:13

Antarctic ice. Because they're above the surface.

37:15

Yeah, and that's not happening. Every year

37:17

I look at Greenland and it's above

37:19

normal snowfall up there. And that's the

37:22

other interesting thing that when I was

37:24

a kid, my dad. gave me a

37:26

book on, gave me a bunch of

37:29

books because he's a meteorologist and he

37:31

knew his son right off the bat

37:33

from where I was three. This is

37:35

all I ever wanted to do. So

37:38

I was eight years old, he gave

37:40

me this book, I think it was

37:42

Why the Weather, and there was a

37:44

chapter on climate change in. This is

37:47

1963, saying exactly what you're seeing now

37:49

would be going on, that it would

37:51

snow more in the northern area. is,

37:53

right? When there's more water vapor in

37:56

the air, it's warming up. Snow's more.

37:58

And so what happens is that starts

38:00

fighting back. Now what is it, what

38:03

is the left do? They say, oh,

38:05

more snow. First there was going to

38:07

be no snow. Now, oh, more snow.

38:09

That's a sign of climate change. It

38:12

doesn't matter. Good, good better or different?

38:14

If I were wrestling. every time my

38:16

opponent scored on me, I would get

38:18

the points. That's how they scored things.

38:21

And when you realize that that is

38:23

their gain, that their gain has nothing

38:25

to do with the weather and climate,

38:28

and a lot of guys don't, on

38:30

my side of the issue, and a

38:32

lot of scientists, they don't like when

38:34

I say that because they're involved in

38:37

the fight. You see what I'm saying?

38:39

It's sort of a cottage industry on

38:41

both sides, right? So what we do

38:43

is, hey, whatever's causinging it. adapt and

38:46

move on. We've got the ability to

38:48

move on. I mean, you look at

38:50

New Orleans, right? Who had the bright

38:52

idea of building a city 10 feet

38:55

underwater on the Gulf of Mexico? Which

38:57

it basically is, right? So guess what's

38:59

going to happen? So what people say

39:02

to me, well, look at what Katrina

39:04

did to New Orleans, I go far

39:06

more impressive is what the 38 hurricane

39:08

did to Providence. Providence is at 41

39:11

degrees north. It's not surrounded by 90

39:13

degree water. It's 12 feet above sea

39:15

level. and they went under 13 feet

39:17

of water. Now, which is more impressive,

39:20

a city on the Gulf of Mexico,

39:22

meteorologically, the city on the Gulf of

39:24

Mexico, a lot of it's below sea

39:27

level getting flooded, or some place up

39:29

into England, that's 10 feet above sea

39:31

level, getting 13 feet of water into

39:33

downtown Providence. So when you start looking

39:36

at things that way, folks, you understand

39:38

that their agenda. has nothing to do

39:40

with climate or science or weather, has

39:42

everything to do with this entire idea,

39:45

limit America, where we've stolen, you know,

39:47

Barack Obama said, we have 4% of

39:49

the population, but we use 25% of

39:51

the resources. Oh yeah? Well guess what?

39:54

We're not being selfish. We export all

39:56

our knowledge to other countries. Where would

39:58

we be without that? Where would the

40:01

world be without America? So think back

40:03

to what I'm saying. They believe that

40:05

we're guilty of stealing. And that's what

40:07

this is all about. They're trying to

40:10

stop us from stealing. It's nothing to

40:12

do with climate and science and weather.

40:14

Well Paris Climate Accords, right? China doesn't

40:16

have to sign on. They say, we'll

40:19

look at it in 2030 and a

40:21

few years, we'll keep firing up coal,

40:23

fire plants, India equally guilty. So America

40:26

basically is willing to destroy their middle

40:28

class to subsidize those who are going

40:30

to do nothing. And then when they

40:32

come sign for them to actually do

40:35

something about it, they'll renegotiate it at

40:37

that point and start the whole process

40:39

over again. I mean, it is never

40:41

really into this stuff. And then I,

40:44

you know, I use documents razor. I

40:46

simply eliminated every other motive. All right.

40:48

So what, so what's a little bit

40:50

warmer, right? We can adapt to that.

40:53

That's what we have to, that's what

40:55

we have to do. And then we're

40:57

going to have to adapt when it

41:00

gets colder. By the way, you know,

41:02

the scary thing is it. to continue

41:04

to warm the planet. The reason why

41:06

the planet got so warm the last

41:09

two years, we saw the spike, was

41:11

hunger, the volcano went off, and we

41:13

had a very strong aluminium. So you

41:15

pumped so much water vapor into the

41:18

air, water vapor releases energy, the release

41:20

of heat through water vapor, and water

41:22

vapor, and water vapor is the big

41:24

controlling, it's the head honcho as far

41:27

as climate goes, right? Excess water vapor,

41:29

we have this spike, oh my gosh,

41:31

how did this happen, it can't be

41:34

CO2, right? but you adapt to the

41:36

situation. But think about this. The warmer

41:38

against, the harder it is to get

41:40

warmer. The problem is if you cut

41:43

out one of the inputs to the

41:45

warming, the temperature will crash pretty quickly.

41:47

Now, if it crashes quickly, that's going

41:49

to affect a lot of people. in

41:52

an adverse manner. Cold kills a lot

41:54

more than heat does, for instance. And,

41:56

you know, it is a worry, not

41:59

in our generation, I don't think it's

42:01

going to happen in my lifetime, that

42:03

down the road, we're going to have

42:05

to face the fact that the planet's

42:08

a little bit cooler than what we

42:10

want it to be, by that time,

42:12

they may be 10 and 11, 12

42:14

billion people on the planet. But you

42:17

know what? You've got to, you've got

42:19

to wrestle the match in front of

42:21

you. do not have people just shoving

42:23

climate down your throat, making you feel

42:26

guilty about the fact that you might

42:28

be getting ahead, because it has nothing

42:30

to do with that. It has everything

42:33

to do with the limitations that be

42:35

put on us because of people who

42:37

are on this massive guilt trip that

42:39

America has been blessed the way it

42:42

is. And you want to know something?

42:44

Every blessing has its appointed time, and

42:46

if you don't take care of those

42:48

blessings, you can't be trusted with them.

42:51

So what happens, right? 100%? I mean,

42:53

you use history, science, etc. to guide

42:55

your predictions. I mean, you're naming storms

42:58

going back 100 years and using it

43:00

to predict future hurricanes and floods. Why

43:02

aren't others doing that? What is it

43:04

that you see that others in whether

43:07

the business, sort of so to speak,

43:09

don't want to admit? Because it seems

43:11

like, well, you're saying everything is so

43:13

obvious, it's so common sense, but it

43:16

seems to be totally disavowed. But it

43:18

seems to be totally disavowed. It's relatively

43:20

simple. It's like playing chess. If you're

43:22

a great chess player, I used to

43:25

be pretty good, but I'll probably just

43:27

try to simplify the board. Just take

43:29

off as many pieces as I can,

43:32

so it just comes down to your

43:34

piece against my piece, right? But then

43:36

again, if that's the attitude, if it's

43:38

supposed to be simple, there are a

43:41

lot of people who rely on complexities

43:43

that they need complexities to increase their

43:45

importance. You can't do this. You don't

43:47

know what it is. You're not following

43:50

the science. You're just someone that's just,

43:52

you know, out there. trying to earn

43:54

a paycheck, right? So you gotta understand,

43:57

you know, I have a philosophy, I'm

43:59

a wrestling coach at Penn State, was

44:01

a guy named Bill Cole, he's one

44:03

of the first men on the beach

44:06

in Normandy, and, you know, he's in

44:08

the, the reason we have a slam

44:10

rule in wrestling is he was so

44:12

mean, that's why he was, he was

44:15

said, a good coach makes himself obsolete,

44:17

right? Now think about that. If you're

44:19

a scientist, and you solve the problem.

44:21

Your goal should make yourself, to make

44:24

yourself obsolete, what the Department of Education,

44:26

what you guys are trying to do

44:28

with the Department of Education. You solve

44:31

the problems, you make yourself obsolete, that

44:33

means you're successful. But what happens to

44:35

all these guys, who their only importance

44:37

is attached to the fact that you

44:40

can't figure it out, I'm the scientist,

44:42

and that's that. You know, and it's

44:44

funny because most of the time, the

44:46

first answer, the simplest answer, is the

44:49

correct answer. But, you know, if you

44:51

make it more and more complex, then

44:53

people have to rely on you. This

44:56

is all about getting away from self-reliance.

44:58

You know, the common farmer in the

45:00

Midwest knows what's going on, right? But

45:02

he can't get up and explain it

45:05

mathematically or through equations, and so people's,

45:07

oh, well. He can't do this or

45:09

he can't do that. But it comes

45:11

down to simple basic forcing. It's like,

45:14

you know, I'm still in the body.

45:16

Big weights lead to big results. Well,

45:18

big forcing leads to big results in

45:20

the weather and climate. So it's the

45:23

simple big forces, the sun, the oceans,

45:25

the castic events, which are random events.

45:27

That is a big forcing idea. And

45:30

also, you know, the very design of

45:32

the system. That what makes you think

45:34

that the planet is designed for oh,

45:36

it's going to be 73 for a

45:39

high 57 for low to rain on

45:41

my plants from three to six o'clock

45:43

every morning. and I can just go

45:45

out with my unicorns and lollipops and

45:48

just dance around in the sun. See,

45:50

that's what people think, and that's not

45:52

the way it is. Everything in life

45:55

is designed for conflict. The weather, your

45:57

personal life, why is that? So you

45:59

can respond to become better. It's a

46:01

great design, and the weather is a

46:04

great design, too. So, you know, there's

46:06

obviously a lot of debate on how

46:08

NOAA should be reformed and how Doge

46:10

may look. at increasing the efficiency of

46:13

that agency like they're doing across the

46:15

board. You're right, they're trying to eliminate

46:17

the Department of Education by making themselves

46:19

obsolete by actually getting real results. You

46:22

know, what would reform at NOAA look

46:24

like to you? Because, you know, for

46:26

me, I see some of these things,

46:29

you know, they don't want people using

46:31

private boats, you know, at more than

46:33

10 miles an hour because of the

46:35

right whale and, you know, there's never

46:38

been a reported like... boat hit of

46:40

a right whale, but like we're going

46:42

to change the laws that affect every

46:44

person who's ever had a boat to

46:47

accommodate these things. It seems like there's

46:49

just just way overstepping their bounds. You

46:51

know, what would that reform look like

46:54

to you? Well, first of all, they're

46:56

way overstepping their bounds because that's where

46:58

the money is, right? You cannot believe

47:00

how much great stuff Noah has done.

47:03

I live on a lot of their

47:05

sites, not so much your forecasting sites,

47:07

but their reanalysis sites, their history sites,

47:09

and there's a lot of great stuff.

47:12

So what happens is, you can't use

47:14

a blunt hammer and say, I'm just

47:16

going to get corruptus thing, you have

47:18

to look at it surgically. You have

47:21

a tremendous amount of talent. Now I

47:23

suggested, you know, this whole buyout, if

47:25

you don't want to work, because you

47:28

think that the current president doesn't agree

47:30

with whatever philosophy you have, okay, You

47:32

know, you get your buyout and you

47:34

leave. You want people that are lean

47:37

and mean and dedicated to the mission.

47:39

Well, what is the mission? The mission

47:41

is not to scare the wits out

47:43

of people. It is to become better

47:46

and better at better at forecasting and

47:48

warning and also getting out in front.

47:50

They don't, you know, I watch the

47:52

NOAA publication and it's always something about

47:55

partners with the first warmest ever. And

47:57

I'm like going, okay, well, everybody is

47:59

reading your thing is alive and they're

48:02

probably having a paycheck if it's the

48:04

first warmest ever. Are you trying to

48:06

tell me that life is not as

48:08

better back in 1930 than what it

48:11

is now? What it is now? So

48:13

you have to have, you have to

48:15

look at things sort of individually. I

48:17

think our warning centers, our warning centers

48:20

are absolutely valuable. National Hurricane Center, but

48:22

they're things I do with the National

48:24

Hurricane Center. I'd like them to reanalyze

48:27

storms based on their size. not just

48:29

what the wind is right at the

48:31

center, for instance. That'll give people a

48:33

better perspective. So when a hurricane Milton

48:36

shows up, it's like, how do it

48:38

go from a category three to a

48:40

category five and back to a three

48:42

in 12 hours? How the heck did

48:45

that happen? Because they're just looking at

48:47

one wind speed, right? They're not looking

48:49

at the size of the storm. Things

48:51

like that you have to try to

48:54

educate the public. And you need a

48:56

director of communications that could get that

48:58

out there. You need someone in charge

49:01

in charge of Noah. that knows something

49:03

about business, but that loves the weather

49:05

and loves the mission and has to

49:07

define the mission. And the mission cannot

49:10

be, you can understand, Noah has to

49:12

understand that they are essential no matter

49:14

what. That the climate doesn't have to

49:16

change for Noah. All that has to

49:19

change is the more prosperous America gets,

49:21

the more essential Noah is if we

49:23

have more people. If we have more

49:26

infrastructure, more property, guess what? You're worth

49:28

more if you can nail a forecast

49:30

and get people prepared. And the further

49:32

out, you can go, the better. So

49:35

they have to do that. They have

49:37

to be able to do stuff like

49:39

we do, like September 8th, say, you

49:41

know, put it out over 100 times

49:44

on Twitter. Southeast part. the United States.

49:46

Last week of September, first week of

49:48

October, multiple hurricane hits coming, right? I

49:50

used to do attention Governor DeSantis to

49:53

try to get his attention that Florida

49:55

was going to get him. It is

49:57

two weeks in advance. So you get

50:00

out in front with Helene. If you

50:02

go out and say, biblical flooding coming

50:04

out four days away, people can get

50:06

ready for that kind of thing. So

50:09

you have to look at it in

50:11

a way where, let's say you took

50:13

over a football team. What's your favorite

50:15

football team. Yeah, the Giants, you know,

50:18

it's a little rough. The Giants, the

50:20

Giants, the Giants, first of all, you

50:22

don't trade away, Saquan, although I was

50:25

glad they did because I'm a Pennsylvania

50:27

guy, right? But the fact is, you

50:29

go, okay, what talent do we have?

50:31

Why are we not excelling with the

50:34

talent we have? And what do we

50:36

have to replace? Who do we have?

50:38

It's no different than that. You know

50:40

what, Don, it's really weird. Yet they

50:43

don't apply the same standard to how

50:45

the country should run. How would the

50:47

country be most successful? Well, obviously put

50:49

the best people with the most love

50:52

in the best places, the people that

50:54

want to do stuff. Noah definitely has

50:56

the core. They're already good, but good's

50:59

the biggest enemy of best, all right?

51:01

So they definitely have the core to

51:03

be great. And they've got to get

51:05

out of the whole, they've got to

51:08

get out of the whole climate thing.

51:10

I'm not saying don't research it. I'm

51:12

saying stop with every single little thing.

51:14

The statistics I read show something like

51:17

literally the climate has risen by like

51:19

0.2 degrees in like the last 75

51:21

years or whatever they were able to

51:24

record it accurately. I mean that does

51:26

not seem statistically significant. Well it rises

51:28

it rises much more in the coldest

51:30

driest areas temperatures and that's due to

51:33

water vapor. That's the thumb term water

51:35

vapor water vapor. So I would say

51:37

that if we're If we're going to

51:39

build a, let's say a boss stock,

51:42

we decided. a deal with the Russians

51:44

where we want to build a resort

51:46

at Vostok, we still have about a

51:48

billion years to go before Vostok and

51:51

Antarctica or whatever or something like that.

51:53

But it does rise quicker in those

51:55

areas and that gets incorporated in a

51:58

total temperature. So there might be a

52:00

seven, eight degree rise in the Arctic

52:02

in its winter time and that then

52:04

translates to the whole entire global temperature

52:07

when from 30 north to 30 south,

52:09

the rise may be one tenth of

52:11

a degree. Right? And you can't feel

52:13

that. And you can't feel that over

52:16

a generation. That's why I'm going to

52:18

use this term. Stone stupid to try

52:20

to claim that the migrant climate, the

52:23

migrant crisis is from climate change. Those

52:25

people are a generation. First of all,

52:27

they're more profitable and they're growing more

52:29

food than ever in Central America. All

52:32

right. But secondly, secondly, you can't feel

52:34

the difference in one tenth of a

52:36

degree. But you can't feel it yourself

52:38

in a day and over multiple generations.

52:41

You can't feel that. So the whole

52:43

thing again, please, the whole thing again

52:45

and people have to realize it, it

52:47

has nothing to do with climate, weather,

52:50

science, or making your life better. Quite

52:52

the contrary. It's likely to try to

52:54

discourage you from making your life better

52:57

because after all, you know, we got

52:59

all these kids with climate anxiety, right?

53:01

You know, my climate anxiety was if

53:03

my dad told me we were getting

53:06

six inches of snow, I was always

53:08

worried, but why can't we get a

53:10

foot? I wanted more. Never mind. What

53:12

do you mean the wind's only going

53:15

gust of 40 miles an hour? What

53:17

about 50? I had the exact kind

53:19

of opposite anxiety because I like when

53:22

the weather did extremes. I make a

53:24

joke about that. But kids soon have

53:26

climate anxiety. The whole thing is nuts

53:28

to me. Joe, do you see in

53:31

NOAA or some of the other weather

53:33

agencies the same kind of fraud and

53:35

abuse that you saw, you know, that

53:37

has been discovered in the last few

53:40

weeks at USAID? Again, I look you

53:42

know, listen, Don, I mean, I came

53:44

out of the private sector with Accie

53:46

Weather. I'm still in the private sector.

53:49

But let's remember, Accie Weather and the

53:51

National Weather Service for years were at

53:53

each other's throats. So much so that

53:56

when the last director of NOAA, the

53:58

last person to be nominated by your

54:00

father, Barry Myers, who was the CEO

54:02

of Accie Weather, I think about what

54:05

Accie Weather did. I mean, he had

54:07

50 great forecast was under one roof,

54:09

forecasted for the entire for the entire

54:11

planet, right? So, I mean, they knew

54:14

how to run things very, very efficiently

54:16

over there, but there was great objection

54:18

to it. And it was sort of,

54:20

you know, by that time, I was

54:23

out of ACI weather, but I had

54:25

a smile on my face because the

54:27

government union, there were three attempts at

54:30

putting a union into ACI weather, which

54:32

would have destroyed ACI weather because we.

54:34

where in the private sector we couldn't

54:36

pay people as much. Basically, basically you

54:39

had to really love the weather to

54:41

go to work there at the time,

54:43

right? So the third time the union

54:45

came in was the government weather service

54:48

union. And I don't know, how is,

54:50

they tried to come in, I couldn't

54:52

believe it, there were big advertisements in

54:55

the paper. The average five-year government weather

54:57

service guy is making, at that time,

54:59

$52,000 a year, average ad-adaki weather 29.

55:01

Of course you're feeding off the public

55:04

trough, right off the bat there, right

55:06

off the bat there, and this was,

55:08

just think about this. The argument would

55:10

have instantly been if someone in the

55:13

government looked at that and said, well,

55:15

how come we're paying all this money

55:17

to so many more people when these

55:19

guys are doing things that are a

55:22

threat? Because after all, if our forecast

55:24

is beating your forecast, you're the public

55:26

forecast, you feel threatened. So when you

55:29

look at that, I'm not going to

55:31

look at the books. What I want

55:33

to look at, what I want to

55:35

help out with, is advising on who

55:38

has the right attitude to run it,

55:40

communicate, and also specific changes involved with

55:42

the way things are done as far

55:44

as you know the hurricane center and

55:47

the severe storm center and that's not

55:49

actually that's not that may not be

55:51

cutting that may also the hurricane center

55:54

is really good at what they do

55:56

you know I used to get in

55:58

arguments with rush because I said rush

56:00

when rush go over to the national

56:03

hurricane center because you live what 30

56:05

miles away and go talk to them

56:07

and you'll realize They're not trying to

56:09

scare the daylight out of people. They're

56:12

putting out a forecast they want to

56:14

verify. So it comes down. There's plenty

56:16

to cut, I'm sure, right? But you

56:18

have to do it in a way

56:21

where you're looking at the New York

56:23

Giants or the FBI and you know

56:25

you've got a lot of good people

56:28

in there and you just got to

56:30

make it efficient. Well, Joe, great to

56:32

have you back. Always appreciate it. Joe
