>> Tim Wildmon: Boat, get on a glacier. Like this is Disney World or something.
>> Ed Vitagliano: No, I've talked to people who have gone on Alaskan cruises and they'll take you to a glacier. and then you, you slide down and you can. Well, no, it's, it's, it's flat for miles.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah. I, I, if it gets too close to where the glaciers cal is what they're calling when they kind of break off, it can get kind of dangerous. I don't believe they're we're getting off the boat and, but we're stopping in Catch can and another town in Alaska and then Victoria and then Catch it.
>> Tim Wildmon: Catch Cam.
>> Steve Jordahl: Catch a Can, I think it's called.

>> Ed Vitagliano: Yes.
>> Steve Jordahl: I'm going to miss the Colbert Show.
>> Tim Wildmon: Are you?
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, I've been missing it for 10 years and, so I'm going to continue missing it.
>> Tim Wildmon: Stephen Colbert. Oh, yeah. You haven't.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, I've watched it once.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. Listen, the now somebody. Well, CBS is canceling the Stephen Colbert. It's called the Late show, right.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yes, that.
>> Tim Wildmon: Was that the one that David Letterman started?
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yes.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, so he started it.
>> Steve Jordahl: He left NBC to start it, because.
>> Tim Wildmon: And he used to come on after Jay Leno.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yep.
>> Tim Wildmon: Who, did the Tonight show for many years and then before him, obviously the, Johnny Carson era.
>> Steve Jordahl: But, Jimmy Fallon now has the Tonight Show. It's not going to be for them either, but.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, I don't watch any of them.
>> Ed Vitagliano: I don't watch any of them. But I will say this, Jimmy Fallon is the least objectionable to me.
>> Tim Wildmon: Right.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: They were mean spirited and nasty.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: Ah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And so dismissive and insulting towards conservatives, that I couldn't stand them. Jimmy Fallon, I think he still kind of leans left, but he didn't seem to me to be that, that kind of nasty.
>> Steve Jordahl: He it booked Donald Trump in the, during the first campaign and joked around with him, even pulled his hair with everything. And he got next to canceled. He was, they were not happy with him. You're humanizing him. You're humanizing him. And so then he stopped doing that. He started being a little left leaning. But the conservatives online are now kind of celebrating the Colbert cancellation and everything. But what they're saying is that late night has just stopped being funny altogether. it just, it's just not funny. I mean, yeah, you got the political, but even when it's not political, it's not funny. And they have a clip from the Colbert show to prove it. And it is a stupid little video.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Is this where they danced around?
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Vaccine.
>> Steve Jordahl: No. Well, okay, that was, that was the Colbert Show.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah.
>> Steve Jordahl: And that was the vac.
>> Ed Vitagliano: When he's on Comedy Central.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, no, that was just tonight. It was 2022. He was, he was in the Tonight show, or the Late show. and very cringe. Oh, it was. But what they have on, the Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon is, he's dancing around. He and Ferrell. What's his, Colleen E. Montague Farrell. No, the other one.
>> Tim Wildmon: Will Ferrell.
>> Steve Jordahl: Will Ferrell jumping around and they're wearing jeans, cut off jeans and they're calling them jorts. And they just sit around saying, where are my jorts? Where are my jorts? It's the stupidest, least funny thing I've ever seen. And that's what they're using as the example of why late night has gone the way of the dodo bird. Its demise is imminent.
Johnny Carson launched a lot of comedian comedians with his Tonight show
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, Johnny Carson, the reason he was so popular, of course, back in that era talking 6070s even into the 80s, is because there wasn't, there wasn't cable TV yet. It was just now coming, to pass. So there wasn't much competition yet. So you were obviously going to get a larger audience.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Right?
>> Tim Wildmon: So. But Johnny Carson had a, good personality for late night tv. He would poke fun at both sides of the political aisle.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Right.
>> Tim Wildmon: But it was like good natured humor. It wasn't mean spirited.
>> Ed Vitagliano: and he poked fun at himself.
>> Tim Wildmon: Ugly. Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: He would tell kind of corny jokes. They would bomb, but it was all.
>> Steve Jordahl: Part of the deadpan look.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And he would mock himself for the badger.
>> Steve Jordahl: He, he was a king maker. comedians would come on and they would just hope and pray that they would be invited over to the couch. Because if you, if you were invited.
>> Tim Wildmon: Over the couch on the Johnny Carson.
>> Steve Jordahl: Johnny Carson show, comedians would come out.
>> Tim Wildmon: And the Tonight show with Johnny Carson.
>> Steve Jordahl: He, he launched a lot of comedian comedians, including, Seinfeld was early on his. Steve Martin was early.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Jim Carrey.
>> Steve Jordahl: Jim Carrey was early with Carson. So. Yeah.
Cut 10 Fire Aid raised $100 million for wildfire victims in California
>> Tim Wildmon: All right, next story.
>> Steve Jordahl: All right. Hey, there's a currently, have we loaded cut 10? There's a currently, a, little scandal developing in Southern California. I know you're going to be surprised to find that there's a scandal going on in California, but you remember the Palisades fire that happened, earlier. This was earlier this year.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Oh, yeah.
>> Steve Jordahl: Lots of homes, were,
>> Tim Wildmon: Was that last fall already or when was that?
>> Steve Jordahl: I have to look, January.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Done with the story. I'll look it up.
>> Steve Jordahl: Well, so they, they decided to do a celebrity concert, one of these we are the world type things where they invited all these celebrity musicians in and they called it fire aid. And they raised $100 million.
>> Ed Vitagliano: January, January, January this year.
>> Steve Jordahl: Well, one of the people that lost her home is an investigative reporter and someone pointed out, another neighbor of hers pointed out, I haven't seen any of the money. Wonder where it went. So she went looking for the money. This is what she found. Cut 10 Fire Aid that star studded concert that raised $100 million for wildfire victims.
>> Tim Wildmon: But where did all that money go? Investigative journalist Sue Pasco has been digging for answers. All this news money are going to nonprofits and then nonprofits will take care of making sure the money's distributed. Initially they gave $50 million to about 120 nonprofits.
>> Steve Jordahl: I would urge everyone to just go.
>> Tim Wildmon: To the nonprofits that are listed if you want a good laugh.
>> Steve Jordahl: I mean, one of the nonprofits cleans preschool bathrooms. Not a dime has been seen by any of the. Any of the people.
>> Ed Vitagliano: The actual people.
>> Steve Jordahl: Actual people. And now I'm seeing that squatters are coming and setting up tents and mobile homes on the properties of the people who lost their homes. And they can't. The people who own the property if they want, if they wanted to rebuild or whatever, they can't get them off. Gotta get.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah, because you gotta, you gotta go through a. Something.
>> Steve Jordahl: I don't.
>> Ed Vitagliano: What is the deal too? I, I, It seems like gov. Governor Gavin Newsom had announced last week. I just saw the headline in this. Wasn't able to actually click through and read the article. Is there a move on the part of California to snap up this property and build public housing?
>> Steve Jordahl: I saw the headline as well and I did not read the article. I think that's correct. I'd have to do a little bit of research to be able to report on it accurately. But I saw that same headline, low income housing, which doesn't surprise anybody. But. Yeah, so.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And they would take it by eminent domain and they would say for, for the public use. You're taking your property.
>> Steve Jordahl: They can do that. Now they, they would compensate them market value. Usually they don't have to, but they, they would. I think these are very rich and pop, you know, powerful people.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And these people don't want to give up that land. They want to rebuild. Yeah, I'm not talking about the wisdom of rebuilding in these.
>> Steve Jordahl: Even if they want to rebuild, remember, they're rebuilding in California. And it takes about four times as much effort to build in California as it does anywhere else in the world because of all the regulations. so things are not going well in the fire country in Southern California.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, these kinds of things. And again, it might be a good story if you, if you have time, you got plenty to do. But, the. Remember the fire in Hawaii?
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Ah, there are a lot of people talking about, okay, what's going to happen to that property now? Is the state going to use eminent domain to snap it up? And I just lost, I just lost touch with the story. I don't know what's happened over there, but it's always very. People get suspicious about the start of the fires. And I'm not trying to promote some kind of conspiracy theory because that's just not me.
>> Tim Wildmon: No, it's not.
>> Ed Vitagliano: But, but it is. And listen, it's hard for me to feel badly for rich elites in California who probably despise my values. but I don't think it's right for the state to Just take that and say, hey, we're going to give it away to somebody else.
>> Steve Jordahl: It's quite socialist of you.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yes.
>> Tim Wildmon: Next story. Steve.
Tim Ferriss: Iranian foreign minister speaks out against Hamas and Hezbollah
>> Steve Jordahl: All right, so the Iranian foreign minister, his name is Abbas, Arachi, sat down, at Fox News with Bret Baer Special Report, and they had a little interview. And he asked him a whole number of questions. But what interested me was the questions he asked. He said, you know, I hear every day, we hear reports of you starting your legislative session with the chance of death to America, death to Israel. What's that about? He said he asked, and this was the answer.
>> Speaker D: Kari, The Supreme Leader and other officials in Iran have always said that death to America is, in fact, debts to the, you know, hegemonic policies of the United States, not to the, people of, United States. Yes, there are some, perhaps radicals, persons or groups, here and there, in different places, inside, outside of Iran, who may say something, like what you said, but that has never been our policy, and they will never be in our policy in the future. This, is not our policy to kill anybody, outside Iran, let alone the president of another country.
>> Tim Wildmon: With all due respect, you're supplying arms and drones and missiles to Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. The Houthis are firing on US and international ships. Obviously, the actions of Hamas and Hezbollah, no matter what you say their motivation is, are causing death.
>> Speaker D: We believe that, those freedom fighters, let me say, Hamas, Hezbollah, they are fighting for a just cause. And, we have always supported them politically, and, in other ways, because we think that they are, as I said, fighting, for something absolutely legitimate.
>> Tim Wildmon: Even if that fighting, in their words, is about wiping Israel off the face of the map.
>> Speaker D: Well, if, we have never said that they have. Well, that. That is. That is up to them. They are fighting for their own homeland, so they may say anything.
>> Tim Wildmon: All right, listen, just one note here. That was the Iranian foreign minister, correct? He said we've. He said we, talking about Iran, has never said wipe Israel out the face of the earth.
>> Steve Jordahl: That's what he said.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, so when you say death to America, death to Israel, could that not be interpreted as wiping them off the face of the earth?
>> Ed Vitagliano: It's clearly a metaphor, Tim. In his words, metaphor.
>> Tim Wildmon: He wants a friendly one.
>> Steve Jordahl: He wants death to the hegemonic policies of the United States.
>> Tim Wildmon: Well, why didn't he say that? That needs to be their opening chant. Death to the hum.
>> Steve Jordahl: Hegemony.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Hegemony.
>> Tim Wildmon: Death to the hegemony. Policies of the United States, not death to America. That way we wouldn't confuse the two or conflict the 2.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Death to hegemonic policies.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, that's what I would say.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: That they need to say.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah. Then he said, we never said that. And he said, yeah, but you did. And he goes, yeah. He said, well, some, How did. How did he phrase it at the end?
>> Ed Vitagliano: He said, freedom fighters.
>> Steve Jordahl: Freedom.
>> Tim Wildmon: Hamas and Hezbollah. Yeah, that's what he. So there. There you go.
>> Steve Jordahl: He said, well, some of them may say that.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, listen, I'm just gonna say. I'm just gonna say this, and I'm going to be, Be kind here, but radical, radical Islam is a blight on the human race.
>> Tim Wildmon: Right.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Because if you won't condemn Hamas and Hezbollah after the things they've said and the things they've done, then you are no different than any other kind of fascist ideology.
>> Tim Wildmon: And they're for them. he's saying the Iranian government, and we know this, they're kind of out in the open. They're. They're for, Oh, yeah, for the. What we would call terrorists who are trying to wipe out the Jews and.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah, no, that's my point.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yes.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Is that Iran is run by radical Islamists.
>> Tim Wildmon: They call them freedom fighters.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yes.
>> Tim Wildmon: That's their idea.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: Hamas and Hezbollah. So.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, and the hoodies, which I wish.
>> Tim Wildmon: We don't know about.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Brett Baer was, interviewing him. I wish he had thought to say to the Iranians, well, we applaud the Israeli freedom fighters that, destroyed your, nuclear facilities. They're freedom fighters. What do you think of that? And if you attack any Americans, the freedom fighters that come on our aircraft carriers are going to teach you a thing or two about.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, I don't think Brett Baer would say that, but, yeah, that's what Donald Trump has said for sure. I've been seeing, some pop ups on my Twitter feed of some Muslim radical Muslim voices, in America who have said, we're done wanting to assimilate.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Right.
>> Steve Jordahl: we are one voice as a gal that said, so you're worried about going to prison? Well, if that's the cost for jihad, then go to prison. We're done playing around. Another guy said, we don't want to assimilate, we want to conquer. So it's a very, strident, ah, religion.
Once they claim a country or a territory, they believe it belongs to them forever
And they do. And once they claim a country or a territory, they believe it belongs to them forever.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Right. Well, yeah, that's actually a good point, Tim. because these jihadis need to understand that that's the way we feel about our country. It's ours forever.
>> Tim Wildmon: Forever.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And you ain't getting it right.
Steven Colbert: Everybody should consider being an organ donor
>> Tim Wildmon: Next story.
>> Ed Vitagliano: I'm just suddenly in a bad mood and I don't know why.
>> Tim Wildmon: I'm going to put you in a good Stephen Colbert.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah, maybe brought him up and you've.
>> Tim Wildmon: Been in a bad mood ever since.
>> Steve Jordahl: Let me put you in a good mood. You have an organ donation, symbol on your card. You an organ, don't you?
>> Ed Vitagliano: Not.
>> Tim Wildmon: I do.
>> Ed Vitagliano: First of all, nobody wants my organs. I'm. I'm at the age where people go, no, thank you.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yes, some people. I'm there too.
>> Tim Wildmon: But wait a minute, wait a minute. Now who's an organ donor in this room? Let's raise.
>> Steve Jordahl: I'm not.
>> Tim Wildmon: Are you an organ donor? No. Brent, are you?
>> Steve Jordahl: I would.
>> Tim Wildmon: Steven, our.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, I would be. Is it possible you'd be an organ donor and not know?
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, you want some countries, you won't.
>> Tim Wildmon: Know when they come for them, I'll tell you that. Right. Well, No, I'm kidding. I'm not meaning to, But everybody should consider being an organ donor because I considered it.
>> Steve Jordahl: Wait until you wait until they fix this before you do that, though. This is a cautionary tale.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yes, go ahead.
>> Ed Vitagliano: So make me put me in a good mood. You said.
>> Steve Jordahl: an investigation by the Health Resources and Services Administration, found that, there have been several families that have slated surgeons to attempt to initiate organ retrievals while the patients were still alive.
>> Tim Wildmon: No, no, no. Yes, that and it's what doesn't need to happen.
>> Steve Jordahl: I know.
>> Tim Wildmon: I've told them that. And now you know, I put on that certificate. Not until I said I better be dead.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, in defense of those who do this. Okay, what?
>> Tim Wildmon: Do what?
>> Ed Vitagliano: Who. Who, harvest. That's just awful.
>> Tim Wildmon: Change Picard. Now.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Harvest. I don't want to be is. They do need to keep the body alive.
>> Ed Vitagliano: So that the organs don't begin to die. So they have to determine whether a person can come out of whatever state they're in. And if they say no, this person's brain dead, for example. He's not going to make it. But we keep his body alive so we can harvest some stories we should.
>> Tim Wildmon: Just stay away from. I don't want to be too late. Listen, I don't want to be quasi. I don't want to hear him in the background going, why is he dead or not? Take that liver.
>> Ed Vitagliano: He's not saying anything.
>> Tim Wildmon: Take that liver or not.
>> Steve Jordahl: So the study Found that.
>> Tim Wildmon: Listen, we're kidding around here. This. This is. This is a science. Okay? This is a m. Serious medical thing. And listen, Oregon.
>> Steve Jordahl: Don't say there's some stories if you bring on ti. This is how this goes.
>> Tim Wildmon: I know we probably should not do stories like this. because, it's left. It's left to me to. To keep us on task and make this a serious issue. And your eyesight, in all seriousness, people have gained eyesight.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Oh yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: lives have been saved by heart and other organ transplants that have been donated by people. So it's a yes.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And it is.
>> Steve Jordahl: It is a good thing. The study finds that rushed decision making in organ demands are taking priority over donor safety in Kentucky. I'll say more than 70 cancer organ removals alone should have been stopped sooner than they were because patients showed signs of revival in Kentucky alone, according Where.
>> Tim Wildmon: Who's reporting this now?
>> Steve Jordahl: This is the, Health Resources and Services Administration. Dr. Or Secretary Robert Kennedy is pledging to reform the whole kitten caboodle.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Okay, that's scary.
>> Steve Jordahl: I know.
California's lost 18,000 fast food jobs because they raised minimum wage
That's why I brought it in.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Patience. Sh showed signs of revival and they said, well, too late.
>> Tim Wildmon: Health resources and services administrators keep the art. Administration tends to write a letter. This may be the same group that text me every week.
>> Ed Vitagliano: How are you feeling?
>> Steve Jordahl: That's why you better start answering him. But then. Right.
>> Ed Vitagliano: You got a sec? We want to just say how you're feeling.
>> Tim Wildmon: You're a kidney.
>> Steve Jordahl: He thought it wasn't you thought you needed to not answer them. But maybe you do.
>> Tim Wildmon: Health reserve. Anyway. That's. I did not need to know that story.
>> Ed Vitagliano: Yeah, you wanted to go all self righteous on west and I didn't.
>> Tim Wildmon: And then. So, So y' all aren't. Anyway, go ahead. You got about 30 seconds. What do you got left?
>> Steve Jordahl: I got 10 seconds. California's lost, 18, 000 jobs fast food industry because they raised the minimum wage to $20 an hour.
>> Tim Wildmon: Told you. Told you.
>> Steve Jordahl: So they've lost these jobs and they're not getting 18, 000 jobs. It's cost them now.
>> Tim Wildmon: Now the ice cream machine will never work.
>> Steve Jordahl: Never.
>> Tim Wildmon: Because we were having trouble when we had the 18,000 fast food restaurant workers now. Huh?
>> Steve Jordahl: Huh?
>> Ed Vitagliano: Well, you think.
>> Tim Wildmon: Don't tell me their ice cream repairman wasn't canned.
>> Ed Vitagliano: If you think if you.
>> Tim Wildmon: If.
>> Ed Vitagliano: If you're paying them $20 an hour, they should at least keep the ice cream machine working at McDonald's.
>> Steve Jordahl: That's how I look at it. Yeah, a lot of those jobs moved to Tennessee, so it's gonna be interesting to see if Tennessee ice cream machines work.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Ed Vitagliano: By the way, we had, Kirk Cameron on, who's from California.
>> Steve Jordahl: He's moved.
>> Ed Vitagliano: He moved many years ago to Nashville. He loves. Oh, you heard that? He loves in and out.
>> Steve Jordahl: We both do. He and I are similar fans.
>> Tim Wildmon: All right. probably thankful that this hour and a half is over.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, that's right.
>> Ed Vitagliano: And, that was good radio.
>> Tim Wildmon: We'll move on till tomorrow and have a great day, everybody. Keep listening to American Family Radio.
