Join John Rush and Jersey Joe as they tackle the contentious subject of chemtrails and their alleged impact on the environment. Throughout the episode, they not only debate the validity of climate change concerns but also address misconceptions about atmospheric conditions and plane contrails. With clear examples and insightful commentary, they provide listeners with the necessary tools to critically assess the myriad of theories surrounding climate change and environmental impacts. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, this episode provides a fresh perspective on some of the most widely discussed environmental topics today.
SPEAKER 10 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 14 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes.
SPEAKER 04 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 13 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did. Get a job, sir. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 09 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You felt it your entire life. That there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 13 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 10 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 11 :
And we’re back. Welcome. Hour number three, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Jersey Joe joining us now. Joe, what’s up, sir?
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, John, you know, we thought we’d talk today about conspiracy theories, and I’ve been doing so much research, my head hurts.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, let’s start with—we’ve got two things I want to talk about. One being chemtrails, which we touched on the other day, but then I had a few listeners that were basically— Not necessarily, you know, arguing with me, but just had some questions and I’ll get into some of those as well. But then also had one that because of my conversation last night on the island that they are going to now start immigrating people out of and sending them to Australia because they’re worried about it being buried under seawater because of the rising seas. That person also thinks that I’m crazy and that I’m a climate denier, which I am not a denier, Joe, that climate does cycle things. and change, but there is no global warming in the sense that we need to fleece everybody out of their money for it.
SPEAKER 15 :
There’s no man-made or anthropogenic global warming, and it goes in cycles. You know, we had a nice age, and there was the medieval warming period. And if you look back over 300 years, John, we’ve gone up and down, up and down, up and down. So, yes, are we in a warming cycle? Yes, we’ve been in a warming cycle. No argument.
SPEAKER 11 :
Which, by the way, and we talk about this a lot. I have experts on that talk about this quite often, Joe. Reality is that’s actually a good thing. We grow better crops. We have better production. I mean, there’s all sorts of things that we do when things are warmer versus when it’s super cold.
SPEAKER 15 :
And not only that, the small increase in CO2 levels, You know what? I’ve got actually a friend in the Denver area. He’s in the marijuana business. You know they actually pump CO2? Pipe it in.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yep, they pipe it in.
SPEAKER 15 :
He’s got big cylinders of CO2. That’s right. He gets a truckload of CO2 cylinders because CO2 enhances plant growth. That’s right. So it’s good for every crop we have, wheat, corn, soybeans, you name it. Increased CO2 levels will increase plant production, as will warmer temperatures because more land will be arable soil. For longer, for more weeks of the year.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, in other words, it extends. And again, we’ve had folks on from the CO2 Coalition, for example. We’ve had folks, you know, experts on that talk about these things. And no, for all of you listening, these are not nut jobs. They’re very highly acclaimed, very astute, very honest individuals. And one of the questions or one of the comments that I got today, Joe, is, you know, why wouldn’t I believe what NASA says? puts out. And for those of you listening, well, number one, NASA is a government organization, and they have to be funded. And so the way I’ve always looked at it is follow the money. So anybody that’s talking about climate in a way where their funding comes from verifying what government wants you to believe, Joe, I’m a skeptic of.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. And actually, I have some NASA stuff here, which I’ve cross-checked. And what you find, John, is a So here, I want to read, this is from NASA Sea Level Change Observations from Space, by the way. And they talk about how sea level changes very dramatically depending on where you take the reading. It said between 1993 and 2018, which is basically a 25-year period, sea levels rose from 12 to 15 millimeters per year, which is half an inch, in some regions, and then went down by that same amount in others. But on average, it has gone up by only three millimeters per year, which is one-tenth of one inch. Now, there’s another NOAA, National Oceanic Atmospheric, that has a chart on sea level rise going back to 1850, which was 175 years ago. Do you know what the sea level rise was? 150 years ago, 175 years ago?
SPEAKER 11 :
No idea.
SPEAKER 15 :
Three millimeters per year.
SPEAKER 11 :
So it’s actually less than it was then.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, no, in other words, the rate of rise of the ocean has been three millimeters per year for 175 years now.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.
SPEAKER 15 :
So it hasn’t changed. Because if it was due to man, if it was anthropogenic, you would see a hockey stick. Got it. But the three millimeters per year hasn’t changed. Now, why has it been increasing? One of the biggest things, there’s something called land subsistence. Like in Hawaii, when you have a volcano and all that, you know Hawaii grows every year, right?
SPEAKER 11 :
That’s right. The Big Island’s growing every year because of the lava flowing in, basically it’s making more land.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. And every time it rains all over the world, you get erosion from higher parts to lower parts. It goes in the ribbon and spreads out. and you get a land growth at the mouth of rivers where they empty into the ocean. So you get that. Now, do you know how many active undersea volcanoes there are in the world?
SPEAKER 11 :
More than probably most people can imagine, Joe.
SPEAKER 15 :
19,000 is the best guess.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, 19,000. That’s a lot, by the way. Meaning, really quick, I think I know where you’re going here. Meaning that as they’re growing, it’d be like if you put a rock into a bathtub, a large rock to a bathtub, the water would naturally rise, right?
SPEAKER 15 :
Yes, you’ve got 19,000 active undersea volcanoes spewing lava out. from inside the earth to outside the earth. And it’s, it’s, you know, it’s like, you know, again, it’s making, making the water rise as you add mass to the water. Again, if you have a, if you had a glass full of water and you, and you’re full to the brim and you drop the golf ball in it, the water is going to overflow the top of the glass. Well, so the fact that the rate of increase has been three millimeters per year for 170 years without changing clearly what man is doing in the last, 20 or 30 years hasn’t changed it one iota, not one iota. So yes, our sea level’s rising. By the way, I did something else. I went back. Most people don’t know this, but when you do a Google search, you can set a time boundary. You can say, I only want hits from this year to this year. So I went back and I did a Google search from 1980 to 2000. And I said, sea level rise predictions, but I bounded it for that 20 year period. 1980 to 2000. This was back when Al Gore was doing all of this stuff. And they were, you know, three feet, four feet, six feet. Not a single one of those, John, not one of them came remotely close to being true. It stayed at three millimeters per year. So, by the way, the other thing that changes, and this comes with El Nino… You know that warm water is less dense than cold water. So as the ocean warms, it will expand rising sea levels. Correct. melting icebergs do not change the water level, because when an iceberg melts, it takes the same volume.
SPEAKER 11 :
It’s no different than the ice melting in your glass. I’ve used that example many, many times. I don’t know why this one’s so hard for folks to understand. If you’ve got that, which we Americans, we love ice in our drinks. In fact, in a lot of cases, people will ask for a drink with no ice because they get a lot more quantity of drink than they would otherwise, but we Americans like a lot of ice with our drink. But Joe… Given the fact that in most cases I’m one of these where I’ll fill up the glass entirely with ice, and then I’ll put whatever drink, water, whatever I want on top of that. As the ice melts, does my cup overflow?
SPEAKER 15 :
No, it doesn’t. And even if you don’t want to overflow, if you were to, let’s say you fill a glass up 75% of the way, and you take a crayon and you mark, here’s my water level. Of course, the ice always floats above. Some of the ice is always above the water level. If you watch every ice cube melts, when every ice cube is melted, the level in your glass has not changed because the melting, because the ice is less dense than water. And the melted water from the ice takes up the same volume as the amount of ice.
SPEAKER 11 :
So then why is it so many, quote-unquote, scientists even will tell all these people that because we’re losing ice caps, which that’s another debatable thing we could get into maybe today or a different day, but a reality is even if those things melted fully, would we really see, you know, rising levels?
SPEAKER 15 :
Not in the Arctic, but there is some landmass. So the only time that melting ice is going to raise is the sea level is if it’s ice that is on land. Now, on the Antarctic, you do. It’s both. And in Greenland. So to the extent that glaciers melt and some land-based ice in the Antarctic melts, yes. But if the Arctic ice on the North Pole melts, John, there’s no land under there.
SPEAKER 11 :
So, Joe, here’s another question or something that I’ve thought of. I didn’t mention this back in my response to the person that emailed me today. But the other thing I keep thinking about in the back of my mind is, okay, if we were so worried about all of this, you know, what you’re talking about, where if we’re so worried about rising sea levels and so on, the things that you and I are talking about right now, Why don’t we do, and maybe it’s a net negative and it doesn’t make any difference, but why don’t we do more desalinization? Because that would then be taking ocean water out. Granted, that fresh water, some of that we’re not drinking and so on, may make its way back into the ocean at some point. But all of it won’t because we’ll be using it for drinking water and other things. Or at the end of the day, is it just a net negative because if we desalinate, we don’t use some of the other fresh water?
SPEAKER 15 :
You know, probably the latter, John, probably the latter.
SPEAKER 11 :
So at the end of the day, it’s a net nothing. It doesn’t make any difference.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s a net nothing. Gotcha. But, John, anyway, the oceans have been rising for the past 175 years at 3 millimeters per year, which is one-tenth of an inch per year. Now, in some areas, it’s more so. Anybody wants to make a case, they can pick a place.
SPEAKER 11 :
whereas when rising more, so that they… And I also read, too, Joe, that because our Earth is not symmetrical, that the gravitational pull of the moon, too, depending upon where it is at different times and so on, the tides will change, and that can also change measurements and readings and so on. So you’ve got to take… all of these things into account. And where I kind of come back at, Joe, with a lot of this is, this is one of those things that’s extremely difficult to get a constant out of to where you know you’re getting the exact same reading every time. Or am I wrong in my thought process?
SPEAKER 15 :
No, you’re correct, John. And by the way, NASA is using telemetry from a satellite that is 100 miles out in space. And they’re trying to measure, John, they’re taking an instrument that’s more than 100 miles above us, trying to measure something plus or minus 3 millimeters. Tell me about the margin of error. I don’t know what sort of calipers you use or measuring instrument. I’m a little skeptical since I’ve got an instrument that’s 100 miles away. And I can tell you plus or minus – I can tell you if – Down to the millimeter?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, I don’t think so.
SPEAKER 15 :
Down to the millimeter.
SPEAKER 11 :
Anyway. Yeah, that one I have a hard time – okay. So we got that one pretty well covered. For all of you listening, there’s a lot of data on this as well. And, again, I still go back to one of the comments that this particular person made, and I hope they’re listening. And I appreciate all the comments and the emails that I get. But the fact of the matter is, you know, do I always trust something NASA says? Joe, I don’t trust anything anybody says until I go look at some of the sources and find out exactly what’s going on. Just like I talked about a moment ago with the opinion piece that was out of Zero Hedge. At the end of the day, I want to know who’s writing it. And on top of that, I want to know who’s paying for it. Because at the end of the day, if you’re tainted by your paycheck, things are going to change.
SPEAKER 15 :
Absolutely. And, Jim, one more thing on undersea volcanoes. In addition to the additional landmass that they’re creating, Don’t you think 19,000 undersea volcanoes might have some tiny warming effect on the ocean water?
SPEAKER 11 :
Yes. Yes, absolutely would. All right, let’s talk about chemtrails. That was another one where I got, you know, and one of the things that I had earlier, and somebody actually texted this in, Joe, where they texted me an image where there were two planes in the sky. And by the way, I don’t know what the size or type of planes or engines on the planes were, but one had a long tail. You know, contrail coming out of it. And the other one had a short one coming out of it. And that was in this particular texture’s opinion. That was proof that those are chemtrails because otherwise they would be both exactly the same. And by the way, I was accused of because I don’t understand that end of things that I should just go back to fixing cars. because I have no idea what I’m talking about. That one I take a little bit of offense to, Joe, because, by the way, I can take my car knowledge and apply it to this, meaning that if there’s different-sized planes, different-sized engines, of course they’re going to have different contrails.
SPEAKER 15 :
And if, Jonathan, you’re 1,000 feet different altitude… Which you cannot see from here. Which you cannot see from here. John, I defy anybody to look up and say, That plane’s at 32,000 feet, and that one’s at 35,000 feet. Nobody on this planet can look up and tell me. And there’s something, John, called the lapse rate, which is 1.4 degrees centigrade, which is roughly two degrees Fahrenheit per thousand feet. So every thousand feet of change. you’re getting a 2-degree Fahrenheit change in the air atmosphere.
SPEAKER 11 :
So if one’s at 30, one’s at 35,000 feet, that’s a 10-degree difference, or could be.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s a 10-degree delta, which is more than enough to… So by the way, every jet engine is spewing out hundreds of pounds of water vapor an hour. That’s basic physics. You take a hydrocarbon fuel, you combine it with oxygen, the two byproducts are CO2 and H2O. So the question the guy would be asking, why was the plane that was spewing out
SPEAKER 11 :
steam basically h2o steam why wasn’t that steam being converted to fog because you know when you cool steam when you look at a cooling tower up an air conditioning system it you know on a cold morning it you see the white i mean really quick i can give some of those answers and some of you again this is just in my opinion common sense and i can even at this elevation so across the denver metro area knowing that we have spots where things could be colder Or warmer. I mean, my wife and I can go on a walk at night, Joe, and walk near a creek, and it will be colder. We can get away from the creek, and by God, it warms up. What do you know, Joe? Things change even here on the surface. Reality is, even in that scenario, you can have a power plant in one area that is spewing a lot more steam and go a mile away and have a totally different situation.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, even better, John. You can come up I-25 in the morning, and you can drive by a building that’s got a cooling tower. And at 830, you’re seeing clouds of what we were calling it steam. It’s actually, it’s not, steam is actually clear, but you’ll see steam. And you drive by an hour later, it’s gone. Did they shut down the unit? No. The temperature changed three degrees.
SPEAKER 11 :
Just warmed up. That’s right.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. So it’s still spewing out the same amount of water vapor. You could see it at 830. You can’t see it at 1030. The same thing when you’ve got planes at different altitudes. If there’s a 10 degree difference, you’re not going to see it. Now, I did some other math, John. By the way, I looked up chemtrails and I said, what is supposedly in the chemtrails? John, nobody can definitively say what it is. Some people say it’s particles to block the sun and prevent global warming. Other people say it’s birth control. It’s chemical warfare. Well, first of all, there is no biological molecule that can survive that. going through an 1,800-degree incinerator, because that’s what the inside of a jet engine is, 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. There is no biological compound that you can put together.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, when somebody said, well, you know, if they’re spewing aluminum through that, aluminum doesn’t melt at that, so the aluminum is still going to come out. But, Joe, I didn’t know aluminum would be toxic.
SPEAKER 15 :
No, aluminum isn’t toxic. Some people say, well, it’s barium. Well, John, when you go to get an x-ray, you drink barium, so… So what’s the point? If it was aluminum, why? And what damage is it going to do to you? Because that was one of the theories, that it’s aluminum to deflect the sun and slow down global warming. Well, so what?
SPEAKER 11 :
And I always go back to, and this is just my own, I guess my own pea-brained common sense, Joe, when I look up in the sky and I think, okay, our sky is literally vast here. And even if you put 1,000 planes above the top of Denver and you watch them roll around and spew things out, Joe, it would take them days upon days upon days upon days, if not years, of doing the same thing over and over and over and over again to have any kind of ill effect when it’s all said and done.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, and I actually looked that up, John. By the way, aluminum melts at 1,221 degrees Fahrenheit. So aluminum going through an 1,800-degree Fahrenheit jet engine is absolutely going to be melted immediately.
SPEAKER 11 :
Somebody texted in or emailed in and said something about something melting at 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t know what metal that would be, and I didn’t bother. I didn’t look because, honestly, Joe, it’s irrelevant.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s irrelevant. By the way, I did look. A 737 burns 865 gallons of fuel. Let’s round it up to 850 per hour. 850 an hour. If you put 10% of non—and jet fuel is nothing but kerosene. Right. first of all, if you put 10% of a foreign substance that is not combustible, like aluminum or titanium or barium, first of all, the pilot is going to notice the difference in power output. When I would fly my plane, John, I could look down and say, yep, we’re burning exactly just like miles per gallon on your car. I mean, if you’ve been getting 23 miles per gallon on your car and all of a sudden you’re getting 19, you’re going to say, what the hell is wrong? This is something wrong with my engine. But let’s assume that somebody was putting 10% of something in the jet fuel that was non-combustible. Well, if it’s non-combustible, that means you’re not getting any power, which is the same as you’re only getting 90% of the power you’re supposed to. But if at 10%, 850 gallons per hour, that’s 85 gallons per hour of of whatever it is.
SPEAKER 11 :
And then I just want to add this really quick before you move on, because just in my head I’m thinking, again, because everybody accuses me of just being an automotive guy, meaning I’m stupid somehow, Joe. I think that’s what a lot of these guys insinuate is I should just go back to fixing cars and not do this because I have no idea what I’m talking about. But I also know because of cars, Joe, that if you’re running a foreign substance, through the injectors that are making the jet engine run, wouldn’t that have ill effect upon the injectors? In other words, if I’m going to run aluminum through the fuel, that’s now becoming an abrasive that the fuel itself is running through. So am I not going to wear out my injectors into that jet engine by running that aluminum through it if in fact they were?
SPEAKER 15 :
Absolutely, 100%. Thank you. You’ve got injector and you’ve got multiple. You’ve actually got a ring, John, of depending on the size of the injectors, right? You’ve got a ring. It goes all the way around. You might have 16-24.
SPEAKER 11 :
36 injectors per engine that are roughly i did look this one up they’re roughly 10 11 11 millimeters in inner diameter so think about a 10 millimeter socket for all of you thinking about it and that size and it’s high pressure because that’s what has to happen to to atomize the the fuel coming in so the jet engine will then burn it just like any other engine that’s out there by the way it doesn’t matter whether it’s your car whether it’s a jet engine has to be atomized joe to do that it has to be at pressure otherwise it’s not going to atomize meaning that you’re forcing the fuel through the injector, meaning that if the fuel is abrasive, you’re going to wear injectors out.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. And here’s one more thing, John. There are literally dozens of refineries around the country that make jet fuel. Correct. Dozens. How are they getting – is every refinery in the country in collusion? I don’t know, Joe. How are they getting this stuff into the field?
SPEAKER 11 :
I don’t know. That’s part of the whole conspiracy theory thing that I just – I always have to question. It’s like, okay, those of you that believe in this, who and where are these toxins being put into the fuel?
SPEAKER 15 :
And how? How do you – how would you be injecting what would have to be tens of thousands of pounds a week? A week, John. Tens of thousands of pounds a week in refineries all across the country.
SPEAKER 11 :
In fact, not to argue, you’re probably off on that. It’s probably hundreds of thousands of pounds a week.
SPEAKER 15 :
John, you’re probably right. It’s probably hundreds of thousands of pounds per week every week. Because you’d have to be trucking it in, John. You’d have to have tank trucks. By the way, tank trucks come into refineries empty and they leave full. You don’t have tank trucks coming in full and leaving empty. You’d have to be trucking in. massive numbers of tank trucks every week into refineries, hooking them up, injecting them into the jet fuel storage tanks or the pipeline. Right. I just don’t see this happening.
SPEAKER 11 :
Well, and somebody else just brought up a great point. They said no airline, knowing how expensive all of these things are, Joe, no airline’s going to let anything like that happen to million dollar plus engines.
SPEAKER 15 :
No, absolutely not. Well, that’s it. But, but the, the, the consideration people say, well, they don’t know what’s happening. You know, it’s, It’s being secreted into the jet fuel, and they don’t know what they’re doing.
SPEAKER 11 :
Baloney. Baloney. I know well enough because I’ve done some work out at the airport for some of the different airlines and so on. I’ve talked to some airline mechanics and so on. Joe, I can tell you right now that those guys do testing on those sorts of things, on fuel systems, the fuel itself and so on, on a routine basis.
SPEAKER 15 :
And, John, here’s one other thing. Every – You know, I used my plane, it was a turboprop, but it took jet fuel. Correct. Every flight, you take a fuel sample out of each wing. Yeah, I was going to say that. You’ve got a little cup, and you hold it up to the light. John, if there were aluminum flecks in my fuel when I held it up to the sunlight, you typically hold it up to make sure there’s no water, you know, any water droplets mixed in. But you would take the fuel, and you’d hold it up, and it’s got a nice yellow color. John, anything that didn’t belong there would show up when you checked the fuel. And, by the way, the fuel trucks themselves, they sample. When they bring the tanker truck over to the filling station, they’ve got a big tank like a Centennial, and they fill the truck up. The first thing the guy does is he’s got a big, like a quart-sized sample jar. He pulls a sample out of the bottom of his truck, and he looks to see, is this the right, different grades of fuel have different, so there’s blue, there’s yellow. And he holds it up, and he checks to make sure. So, John, there’s so many times that fuel is tested and checked. Trust me, if there was aluminum in your fuel, it would show up.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, and for those that believe in chemtrails, the reason why we’re talking about all of this versus just a military airplane running around doing this, which that’s a whole other conversation, which even goes beyond what we’re talking about now, Joe. But the reality is there isn’t enough of them to have any kind of an ill effect. You can’t have hardly an ill effect with the commercial aircraft that’s flying, Joe, meaning that you’d have to be doing this on commercial aircraft because there’s just not enough other planes flying to make any difference. And there’s not enough aircraft, by the way, even in the civilian sides of things to make any difference. But even if they were, it’s not. There’s no way military planes have enough capability either.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, correct. And so one of the first questions you should ask anybody who insists this is happening, say exactly what is it that’s being added to the fuel and why? And nobody, John, there was nobody, there was like 16 different entities.
SPEAKER 11 :
Joe, it’s mind control. They’re chemicals. I’ve read some of this. It’s chemicals that change, you know, it’s mind control, Joe. They’re making you and I, they’re brainwashing us through chemtrails. That’s what they’ll say.
SPEAKER 15 :
And again, John, there’s no biological compound that can survive an 1,800-degree incinerator.
SPEAKER 11 :
I get it, Joe. All right, man, it’s been fun. That was great. Thank you for both of those. I appreciate that. I think that set the record straight on a couple of items, and I appreciate your wisdom.
SPEAKER 15 :
All right. Anytime, John. You take care.
SPEAKER 11 :
You bet. Appreciate it very much. Have a great rest of your day. And Geno’s Auto Service coming up next. Speaking of vehicles and engines and all the different things I talked about with Joe when it comes to chemtrails, guess what? Your vehicle, unless it’s an EV, it has an engine as well. It has to be in its top working order. There’s lots of things that go on to make that happen. Geno’s can help you with all of that. Plus, make sure the air conditioning is working fine as well. It’s genosautoservice.com, and Geno starts with a J.
SPEAKER 08 :
Air conditioning season is here. Take advantage of Geno’s Auto’s air conditioning recharge special. Is your vehicle’s air conditioning ready to keep you cool on hot days? We all know how fast Colorado can heat up during the day. The refrigerant in your air conditioning system gets contaminants, evaporates, and breaks down over time. That refrigerant needs to be able to absorb heat to be able to cool your vehicle’s interior. Geno’s uses a cooling machine that takes out the old refrigerant and cleans it. Then they put the clean refrigerant back, topping off with Freon at the right level. To make your life simpler, Geno’s offers loaner vehicles so you can drop your car off and pick up when ready. We back up our work with NAPA’s nationwide 36-month, 36,000-mile warranty. Stay cool this summer by making sure your system is up to date and ready for this year’s summer heat. Give us a call or go online to schedule an appointment. We’re AAA approved and located at Bowles and Platt Canyon. Stop in or visit us online at genosautoservice.com.
SPEAKER 11 :
All right, Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning. And, hey, when it comes to your air conditioning system, there’s lots of things that can affect it not cooling right, and it’s always not just the fact that it needs more Freon. If you’re not cooling correctly and you’ve got problems, please give Hunter a call today at Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning. Find him at klzradio.com.

All right, Veteran Windows and Doors, there may be an Energy Star rate change coming in the first of the year. Find out today how that affects you. Veteran Windows and Doors, find them at klzradio.com.
SPEAKER 13 :
Veteran Windows and Doors is committed to installing only the right windows and doors engineered specifically for your Colorado home. Every product they install is energy certified, code compliant, and carefully chosen for our unique climate and elevation. Here’s the truth. Federal regulations are written for the entire country, not for homes at Colorado’s high altitude. And those blanket rules, they can actually increase your carbon footprint, not reduce it. Windows that aren’t made for our elevation let in more heat, force your AC to work harder, and drive up your energy bills. Other companies will try to sell you windows that meet the new Department of Energy and EPA standards going into effect this January. Those windows won’t work properly here. Veteran Windows and Doors will make sure you get sustainable, efficient windows that are truly right for your home before the new laws kick in. Find Veteran Windows and Doors at klzradio.com.
SPEAKER 03 :
This is Rush to Reason on KLZ 560. All right, we are back.
SPEAKER 11 :
Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. So, Charlie was making fun of me during the break that you just go back to fixing cars. I get that a lot, by the way. I think some people think that might really rub on me and bug me when somebody says that. You know what? I kind of wear that with a badge of honor because, you know, over all the years, growing up in the industry, learning how to fix cars at a very early age, by the way. I mean, I watched technicians do things when I was, you know, 10, 11 years of age, started actually working on cars when I was 14 years of age. And, yeah, I don’t turn a wrench anymore daily, and I haven’t since my mid-40s. It’s very hard on your body, by the way. Any of you that have ever turned a wrench for a living know exactly what I’m talking about. It’s extremely difficult on your body. I have a bad back, bad hands, things like that from doing that all those years. Not that I’m incapable of doing things today, but it definitely is hard on your body, no doubt about it. I always say that it’s a young man’s game. And you better, if you’re going to be an auto technician, you need to have an exit strategy by the time you get into your late 40s, early 50s. Yes, you can keep doing it after that, but you’re not going to do it the same way you did when you were 25. It’s like playing football. Was Tom Brady the same at 40 as he was at 25? Not even close. Being an auto technician is no different. So I kind of wear some of that with a badge of honor that, you know, fixing cars taught me lots of things throughout the years. How to read. how to research things. I didn’t have the Internet when I first started working on vehicles. In fact, I’m going through a bunch of the old books and things that my dad has kept over all these years and going back in time and remembering what it was like to even look things up in a book because nowadays you don’t do that. It’s all on computer. You don’t have to get a book out anymore. But when I was a kid, you got the book out. If you wanted to know how to do XYZ or what a certain torque specification was or what a certain timing specification was and on and on we go, you had to get a book out. We didn’t have anything else to go look at. In fact, most auto shops in our case, you had this shelf assembly, if you would, that literally there was rows and rows of books where you had to go find the exact make model and what you were working on. And you wouldn’t pull that book out and then did all the research and figured out what you needed. And off you go. The plus side to that is it taught you how to do that. Which I think even today, I have an advantage over even folks that are probably a half or third of my age because I know how to look things up based upon what I had to do as a kid being an auto technician. You had to do those things or you didn’t get cars fixed. You know, wiring diagrams, things like that. You got the book out and you had to figure out what color is what and where is it going and so on. It’s like reading a map. And you learn those things at an early age. Today, on the computer end of things, you guys probably don’t know this, but wiring diagrams today are such that they’re so electronic that a guy can literally, a technician can literally find the diagram, click that particular circuit, and it highlights the entire wire. You no longer have to trace it out with your finger. It literally lights it up and shows you it goes from here to here. And if it makes a color change, you know, goes to a junction block, whatever, all that’s highlighted. In the old days, literally, you had to follow it through. You had to almost with a highlighter or something, and you didn’t want to do that because you didn’t want to screw it up for the next guy looking, so you had to, like, trace it out. Or sometimes you’d cheat, go to the photocopy machine, copier, and you’d copy that page, and then you could highlight whatever you were working on and do it that way. That’s about the only way you could cheat back in the day. So my point is some of you, I think, at times, some of you that are on the left, think that you’re really going to get under my skin by saying, you know, just go back to fixing cars. Well, I actually enjoy fixing cars. It was a challenge over all those years. And at the end of the day, I helped somebody with their vehicle, get it back on the road and go from A to B in doing so. I felt that was very honorable and it was an honorable profession to be in because I helped people do what they needed done so that they could actually go to work and school and take care of their family and so on. And in some cases, they could recreate four-wheel drives and so on. They’d go up in the mountains and off-road and hunt and fish and all of that. So I really felt like, you know what, I’m helping people do not only what they enjoy, but now what they need to do with their family as well. And in some cases, it was a commercial vehicle. They were earning their living with that vehicle. So I never looked at it as anything low scale whatsoever. So those of you that will say, you know, just go back to fixing cars, meaning I’m too dumb to do this. Go fix cars. I don’t think you really understand what it takes to fix cars. And it’s not a dumb man’s game, by the way, or a dumb girl’s game to fix cars. You have to be halfway intelligent or you’re not going to fix cars. So, again, not to belabor this, but for those of you that always throw that out, keep throwing it out, because you know what? It doesn’t bother me at all when you say that, because, again, I don’t look at that as being demeaning or degrading at all. I really look at that as a badge of honor. I mean, I built really good, solid businesses. fixing cars over three-plus decades. I still help people that are in that world do that because I sold my businesses back in 2012, 2013. So I look at that maybe differently than you all do. And I was able to build a business, put my kids through college, do all sorts of things along those lines. I built a very good life out of fixing cars and pretty much semi-retired by the time I was 50. So was fixing cars all that bad? No, folks. It really was good to me. And I have no complaints about fixing cars and thoroughly enjoy doing it and still enjoy getting my hands dirty and fixing things and doing things. And the other thing it taught me to do is pretty much fix anything. Because if you can fix something that rolls down the road, you can pretty much fix anything that’s stationary. I also learned that over the years. So not to take anything away from any of the other trades, but I always felt like if I could fix something that’s mobile, that’s rolling down the road, that’s doing things, you know, perpetual motion moving forward, if you can fix that, you can pretty much fix anything. And that’s the one thing that I learned. I think if there’s anything my dad taught me, it was that as well. One thing my dad always taught and I’ve always had, and I tell my wife this sometimes – A man built it, a man can fix it. That’s always how I look at things that need fixed. A man built it, a man can fix it. And it’s kind of the motto that I’ve lived by. So sorry to kind of get off track, but I’ve had two or three of those comments this week that have basically said that I’m too stupid to be on the radio, go back to fixing cars. Well, guess what, guys? I’m not going anywhere, and I’m going to keep doing radio. Roof Savers of Colorado coming up next. Dave Hart, who I talked to earlier today, by the way.

SPEAKER 04 :
The best export we have is common sense. You’re listening to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 11 :
Yeah, and you know what? That comment right there, that intro, that’s exactly right. I think one thing that being an auto technician also taught me, and my dad force-fed it, was having common sense and knowing how to figure things out and fix things and so on. I was chuckling as I was coming in from break because a lot of you on your text messages, I can’t read what some of you have written in support of me in regards to some of these people that are saying some of those things. I can’t say some of those things on air, but thank you, by the way, for your support. And you make me laugh, so I appreciate that. that greatly you guys are great and i appreciate it and somebody texted in also and said you know over the years i’ve been called you know just an electrician just a cowboy just to this just to that and little do they know and yeah little do they know so thank by the way for all of you that are in the trades that have done some of the things that i have done over the years thank you You’re the guys and gals that keep things rolling along. Not that folks with the white-collar jobs and so on don’t as well. But those of you that are in the trades, thank you very much for what you do. It’s because of you that things keep rocking and rolling, and I appreciate that greatly. All right. This is an interesting topic. I was going to save this for next Wednesday. But I was watching a few videos on this and I thought, you know, probably should mention this even prior to Wednesday, because some of you listening are parents and or have employees. And some of you probably need to know about this because I didn’t until watching a video on it last night. And then it happened to be in USA Today as I was reading through some things today. Products with opioid-like effects are sold at gas stations. They might be banned as illicit substances, but they’re not right now. And I didn’t know these. I don’t go to gas stations inside. I mean, I go fill up and I leave. I don’t go inside ever. Just no need to. In fact, side note, I’m one of those guys where if the pump doesn’t take my credit card, I’m going to another station. I am not going in and paying. Those of you that are gas station owners, if your pumps don’t work, I’m not staying. I don’t have time to dink around and go inside and wait in line and all that. I’m going to the next place. I’m not dinking around inside. And I’m not buying anything in there anyway. So I’m buying gas. I’m leaving. So the FDA is recommending banning a compound found in unregulated tablets, gummies, and drink mixes that are sold online and at gas stations and convenience stores that Trump administration announced last week. The substance known as 7-OH. will be scheduled as an illicit drug if the Drug Enforcement Administration, a branch of the U.S. Justice Department responsible for classifying drugs as controlled substances, approves the sanction under review. So dark innovations in chemistry have exacerbated the additional crisis in this country, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said. It’s synthetic opioids like… Carfentanil and the substance that we’re taking on action today, it’s 7-hydroxamidagrianine. I think I said that right. It’s 7-OH. That’s the acronym for it. It’s a deliberative additive, or it’s a deliberately add… Sorry. It’s deliberately addictive… And it’s a powerful opioid against many more times potent than morphine, believe it or not. And right now it’s being sold over the counter at convenience stores and gas stations. And I watched this video last night where, I don’t know, somebody interviewed a gas station attendant, and there was a 12-year-old kid that was coming in wanting to buy this particular product, and he was out. And the kid threw an absolute royal temper tantrum because this product didn’t exist. And the guy interviewing said, what’s going on here? And the guy’s like, this stuff is flying off the shelves, and when I don’t have it, this is what they do, meaning it must be very addictive or they wouldn’t be behaving that way when they come in to buy it. So I’m like, holy cow, I’ve got to talk about this on air. I was going to wait until next Wednesday. I had no idea. Charlie, did you know this stuff even existed? He says no. I’m guessing most of you didn’t know this stuff existed. Now, it’s sold under several different names and labels, and you’ll just have to be aware of it, but a lot of it is sold right at the counter of most gas stations and convenience stores. And I don’t know – I hate to say this, but I haven’t been in one. I guess I need to walk in a couple of them and see if this stuff is actually being sold and what the name brand it’s under and so on. The stuff that I saw online was it was blue in a little blue bottle, sort of like the instant energy drinks that are in that little blue plastic or the little black plastic bottle. I think the energy drinks are red and blue, if I want to say, or – Five-hour energy, red and blue and black or whatever, right? Red and black. And they’re little. They’re not very tall. They’re what, probably a couple ounces maybe, Charlie? Yeah. So from what I saw in the video, and I should have paid more attention to the brand name. I apologize I didn’t. I just figured I’d mention this and I’ll do a little more research and even come back maybe this next Wednesday with exactly what these things are. But they’re little bottles like the five-hour energy, but it’s not five-hour energy. It’s containing things that are very addictive to where, like I said, even some of these young kids are addicted to this and they’re coming into the stations. And if it’s not there, throwing apps. I mean, in this one case, the kid was not only throwing a fit, he was knocking stuff off the shelves and just throwing an absolute temper tantrum and then left. I mean, it’s like they’re so addictive that they’re having withdrawals is basically what’s happening. So know that’s out there. Know it’s out there for your kids and, in some cases, your employees. And I guess I’m just trying to bring awareness to that this stuff exists. Be careful. Know it’s out there. And watch for your kids buying and drinking and using this stuff.

All right, Kevin Flash, 303-806-8886. He is our attorney, civil, criminal, you name it. Kevin is there to help you. Again, his number, 303-806-8886.
SPEAKER 05 :
Here’s why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. The idea is that you’re going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist’s perspective is that you’re going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we’re talking about six people that you don’t know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you’re the one who’s hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it’s worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don’t know and were witnesses to believe that’s what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks. Call now for a free consultation, 303-806-8886.

It’s time to leave your safe space. This is Rush to Reason on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 11 :
Okay, just as a side note. That Huey Lewis, I Want a New Drug song, Charlie picked out hours ago, not because of what I was just talking about. So it’s weird. I know. Charlie had no idea. He doesn’t see my notes. He had no idea I was going to talk about that at that time. I didn’t know I was going to talk about that at that time. And yet that’s the song he picks out. The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways is about all I can say. I do have some of the names. Oh, somebody else asked, do I ever use 5-Hour Energy? I don’t use 5-Hour Energy. I don’t drink any of the energy drinks. My wife, it would drive her crazy if I did anything other than what I already am like. I am one of those guys that I wake up and I’m just ready to go. I have coffee in the mornings just because I like the taste. I don’t need coffee to get going. So I’m one of those people, and I know I drive my wife crazy. Love you, dear, because I know I drive her crazy at times. I brought in an entire case of Diet Coke today because I don’t drink Diet Coke, and I figured somebody else would use it. But, yeah, I don’t drink any of that. And I don’t drink any of that kind of stuff. I don’t need it. I get up and I get going. And it’s just me. It’s my personality. And it’s why I drove my mom crazy when I was a young kid because I’ve kind of been this way my whole life. So, no, I don’t do 5-Hour Energy or any of that kind of stuff because, frankly, I don’t need it. Okay, some of the names of these products. that I was telling Charlie, or I was telling all of you about, by the way, which I’ve not seen these. Now, I just looked up an article where there’s pictures of these. You guys can do the same. I’ll put this article in my notes, by the way. So it’s Tiana Zaza. Neptune’s Fix, Pegasus, and TD Red. They’re often marked as a dietary supplement or nootropic, which can mislead consumers about their safety. They call it gas station heroin. That’s the nickname that these little bottles have. It’s tianapetine. I think that’s the right word for it, but really the short is gas station heroin. And they come in, now that I see all the pictures, they come in little blue bottles, green bottles, black bottles, pink bottles, light green bottles, orange bottles, yellow bottles. So the most common one it looks like is this TD, whatever I just said a moment ago. Sorry, I’ve got to go back to my place here and find it. The TD red. Looks like a lot of them are TD red. Now, TD Red is a pill, not a drink or anything like that. And I don’t know whether all of these are pills, whether some of these are liquid. I’ve never bought this stuff. Don’t know. Maybe I’ll buy a bottle just to open it and see what it looks like. I told Charlie maybe we’ll meet in the bathroom and actually try it out. No, I’m just kidding. We won’t do that. No, not here. Yeah, I don’t know if this stuff is like an upper or a downer. I’m going to have to do more research because I don’t know. It gives you the feeling of euphoria is all I read in this particular article. And just as a side note, I’m not one of those people that did drugs as a kid, never smoked pot, never did anything along those lines. I’m not somebody that knows what that’s like. Again, for me, as hyped up as I always am, I don’t need a drug. And my wife will tell you that. If I did drugs, I don’t know what that would be like. I’m maybe I need downers. I don’t know. But I’m not somebody that needs anything to get going. I’m just one of those people that naturally has energy and I get going and it’s just who I am. And yeah, I’m 60 years old and I don’t feel it. I’ll just tell you straight up. I do not feel 60. I still feel like I’m in my 30s and 40s. I still do things like I’m in my 30s and 40s. Sometimes I get a little more tired now than maybe I used to, but I don’t feel like I’m 60 years of age, and I’m very thankful for that. I’m very healthy, and I say this a lot, and I mean it. I don’t have to take a drug every day to stay alive, which I’m extremely, extremely thankful for because there’s a lot of folks out there, even some of you listening, where I know you do, and my heart and prayers go out to you, of course, because that’s not a fun place to be in, and I’m extremely, extremely grateful that I am in good health, and I don’t have to do any of that. That’s it for today, guys. Always a fun Thursday. We’ll be back tomorrow. Andy’s got movies. Really quick, I can look these up really quick. Let me find what we’re doing tomorrow. Tomorrow, Naked Gun and Bad Guys 2, followed up by your favorite comedy. So have a great night. We’ll see you tomorrow. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560.
