Armstrong and Getty. And now here's Armstrong and Getty. More than a dozen airports across the country have refused to play a video of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at TSA checkpoints. It just really riles up the dogs.
A (0:42)
I had forgotten about that story.
C (0:44)
Take me a second. That's a hell of a. That's a funny joke. I get jokes, a couple of words about the whole climate change thing.
A (0:54)
Oh, you know what?
C (0:55)
Before I get to that, it's become clear to me, I don't know who blew the whistle or what, but the Democratic media establishment has gotten permission or looked around and given itself permission to say our left flank are lunatics and are going to ruin the party. And we gotta stop that. New York Times with a big article about that today. And Jonathan Martin, the senior political communist for Politico, out with a piece entitled something or other. What is it? Democrats keep falling for political fantasies. When will they learn?
A (1:29)
Well, that's interesting. And then the Wall Street Journal, which leans right, they've got an opinion piece on. Hey, Democrats, wake up. The mainstream media is doing you more harm than good.
C (1:39)
Yeah.
A (1:40)
And yeah, it's interesting.
C (1:41)
Yeah, Somebody, whether spoken or unspoken, said, hey now, now we got to do this. Maybe it was after the big no Kings protest and everybody just laughed at it except the people who were there and charged up about it. Anyway, so speaking of that sort of thing, National Review had a piece about the mayor, the woke mayor of Boulder, Colorado, Aaron Brockett. He's made so called social justice his whole public career. Website of Boulder, which is a very woke town, very. It says as part of the city's commitment to advancing racial equity, Mayor Brockett has attended the advancing racial equity role of government and bias and microaggression trainings. So you can trust him. Uh, what makes no sense, they write in the National Review, is that this, this mayor wants to have the power to remake national, even global energy policy. So he has filed suit against oil companies saying the problems of fossil fuels have hurt Boulder and therefore the energy companies owe Boulder. And they point out the the suit and others like it is preposterous on its face and threatens our economic well being and constitutional order. But the Colorado Supreme Court has allowed the suit to go forward despite the fact that it is a clear attempt to supersede federal environmental regulations. And the U.S. supreme Court is now considering whether to grant cert in the case. And Take up the novel and consequential issues it pre presents. Boulder has asserted specifically that the oil companies have committed a public nuisance. Boulder has asserted claims for public and private nuisance, trespass, unjust enrichment and civil conspiracy. Anyway, it doesn't. What they're claiming doesn't fit any of the legal definitions and it's ridiculous that the Colorado Supreme Court let it go. But that is the state of woke environmental. Well, not even environmental like climate change activism. And I came across this virtually at the same time that article came out. And it's written by Ted Nordhaus, who if you are super into the climate change thing, you might recognize his name. He was a climate expert, a scientist and author, and he's written a piece for the Free Press entitled I Thought Climate Change would End the World. I was wrong. My worldview is built on apocalyptic models sprung from faulty assumptions.
