WE ARE PAYING FOR ANTI OIL AND GAS LOBBYING This column by Jon Caldara just burned me up to quote my late math teacher Nancy Hunter. He writes here about how taxpayer dollars are funneled to anti-oil and gas groups who then lobby against affordable and reliable energy. Jon is on at 2:30 to chat about it.

WHY DOES HOLLYWOOD HATE WHITE PEOPLE? Of course I'm being sarcastic when I say that but our friend Christian Toto reminds us here that when Hollywood REALLY cares they spring into action but they haven't sprung much for hurricane victims right now. He joins me at 1 to discuss.

I'M GUESSING WE'LL CHAT ABOUT HURRICANE MILTON When we do Weather Wednesday with Fox 31 Chief Meteorologist Dave Fraser at 12:30 but get your weather questions ready.

AL SHARPTON'S HISTORY OF STOKING ANTISEMITISM And boy am I happy that my guest today did a documentary for the Wall Street Journal on Al Sharpton's long history of anti-Semitism and the havoc he created in Crown Heights many years ago. I'm talking to filmmaker Michael Pack about "Get the Jew": The Crown Heights Riot, which you can watch for free here.

ABOUT FEMA AND NORTH CAROLINA I've said on earlier blogs that I'm holding fire about the federal response because I've lived through hurricanes and the aftermath so I know how hard it is to do help and recovery. That being said, time is ticking and we're seeing stories like this one about private citizens being threatened for HELPING. I've got former FEMA director and current KHOW morning show host Michael Brown on at 2:30 to talk about what the realities of recovery really are in a situation like this.

TINA PETERS FINDS OUT HER FATE TODAY And I'm talking to Jimmy Sengenberger, who made the trip to the courthouse for the sentencing, at 1pm or maybe later to talk about what happens to Tina Peters for her role in breaking multiple laws to "prove" that Trump lost via cheating. She faces up to twenty years in prison.

KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD IS COMING TO THE SPRINGS THIS WEEKEND And he's stopping by the show for a minute today at 12:30. His song Blue on Black is on my Top 10 Songs of All Time List. He's in the Springs Sunday with a list of other musicians as part of the Experience Hendrix Tribute Tour and you can buy tickets to see that show here. His new album is out and it's fantastic and you should buy it here.
