ABOUT THOSE FIRED CLIMATE SCIENTISTS So I saw this breathless story about how Trump sacked all the climate scientists who were supposed to create a required report for Congress on Climate Change and immediately I suspected what was up by the people quoted in this story. When you start by talking to the Environmental Defense Fund I know it's only left wingers working on this thing, and they are left wingers who rely on government money to continue their research so OF COURSE they are going to say we're all going to die. Then I saw this column by my new BFF Dr. William Wielicki about it and so he's on today at 1pm to talk about what this really means and what should happen next. You should subscribe to his Substack here.

WHO IS MIKE O'DONNELL? He's a dude I follow on X whose bio says this: I've spent much of my working life in education and economic development.

A HUGE RAID IN COLORADO SPRINGS FINDS DRUGS, GUNS AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS And some members of the military from Fort Carson, either partying or working as security at what is being called an "underground" nightclub, though I'm not sure exactly what that means. More than 100 people who are in the country illegally were swept up in the raid that also found drugs and guns. This was a DEA investigation in cooperation with ICE, so it wasn't JUST about finding people in the country illegally. I've got someone from the DEA on today at 2:30 to find out more details.

ABOUT THAT SO-CALLED COLORADO DOGE And I'm going to call it a grift. I saw something on Facebook that purportedly said it was Colorado DOGE and it was asking for money. I clicked through to their fundraising page only to find a BUNCH of words and a donate money, but nothing that said who was behind it and what they were raising money FOR. They called themselves a non-profit, but gave no Tax ID information to indicate they have any sort of actual non-profit status where you can deduct those deductions, which I think is a pretty big omission. I asked on the air last week if anyone new about this and Natalee Tennant has the skinny. She joins me with Todd Watkins on to talk about the latest from the angry group of Republicans bitterly trying to hold onto power rather than actually win a race at 1.

JOSHUA GRIFFIN WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR And he joins me today to talk about his plans for Colorado, some of which I am not a fan of. We'll do a deep dive into what he stands for at 1, find out more about him here.

WEATHER WEDNESDAY AT 12:30 So get your weather questions ready for Fox 31's Dave Fraser.

MAYOR MIKE COFFMAN JOINS ME TODAY AT 1 And we're going to talk about the progress of the new homeless campus and how things are going in Aurora overall. Mostly we're going to do a deeper dive into this report by the Common Sense Institute about homelessness in Colorado. Spoiler alert: it's not good.
