Send us a Text Message.James Mountain Inhofe , was an interesting man. He was Oklahoma's longest serving Senator, a pilot, and a man who served in office on every level of Government. He was Mayor of Tulsa, a Congressman and a Senator. He was a conservative advocate and a man who fought the Climate change movement every step of the way. He even famously once brought a snowball into the Senate Chamber to make his point. In this episode we will remember that famous moment and look back the years he served as Chairman of the Armed Services Committee too. He was a tireless advocate for veterans and active duty personnel too. He was most famously though, a man who fought for the needs of Oklahoma. We will look back at his career and in our last half hour let you hear from him on his final day in the United States Senate, in his farewell address. Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., described Inhofe on Tuesday as a "dear friend and mentor, a titan in Oklahoma, and a highly effective leader in D.C." He was an extraordinary figure in the Senate and in this episode we look back at his career. He died on July 9, 2024 at the age of 89.  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Fred Davis only ended up in politics due to a family tragedy and then a family connection, and yet has become one of the most creative and controversial ad makers in America. His clients include a who's who of Republican elected officials...from Bush to Dole to McCain to Schwarzenegger among dozens of others. And despite electing Presidents and numerous Republicans up and down the ballot, he's most famous for his unique perspective on advertising that has led to some of the most memorable and controversials spots of the last few decades...the McCain '08 ad comparing Senator Barack Obama to Paris Hilton, introducing soon-to-be Michigan Governor Rick Synder as "one tough nerd", "Demon Sheep" in California, and introducing the phrase "I'm Not a Witch" into popular culture.

David Waldman swears that he saw thousands of snow geese this weekend, and as proof shares a live feed of an apparently empty lake. Who knows what you might see if you look at something hard enough. How did you find us? If you listen to the podcast, but think of it as a “blog”, and remember our past defunct affiliations, just type in the URL and you're almost good to go... a few dozen characters, half a dozen slashes and EZPZ, you're with David and Greg Dworkin and KITM today, the best-kept secret on the Internet, and worth the effort. This weekend many were shocked to discover that famed 90's comic strip Dilbert is still being distributed, and perhaps even read in a few publications. That number of publications drops each time author Scott Adams reveals that he is a racist moron, and Scott Adams reveals that he is a racist moron each time the number of publications drops. Adams still has a friend in Elon Musk, who is always ready to Make Apartheid Great Again. We all know what Tucker Carlson will see when he looks at his cache of January 6 footage. He and his viewers can see it already. Tuck and the Gop took one look at the demographics of the Ohio county where the East Palestine train wreck occurred and saw White victimhood as far as their eyes could see. Conservative Canadian politicians were caught dining with a German ultra-right Anti-Islamic politician and were shocked to find out that people could look her up on Wikipedia. (She didn't like them either). Britons don't see what they saw in that guy, Boris Johnson. The US Department of Energy has concluded that the COVID-19 pandemic likely came from a lab leak, and as far as Republicans are concerned, that is the only department's opinion that counts. Senator Jim Inhofe admits that he retired due to “long COVID”, and as far as Inhofe's concerned, he's the first to admit that he has it. Nebraska state Senator Machaela Cavanaugh will filibuster every bill until anti-abortion and gender-affirming health care bills are withdrawn. You too can Blue policies passed in your Red state, by running statewide ballot initiatives. Republicans, on the other hand, simply install their judge, then run their cases through him, creating the law for the entire country. Jessa Duggar, of the multiplying Duggars, had an abortion recently, but it's OK, because she didn't call it “an abortion”. If you know what to call it, it's as easy as ordering a pizza.

We live in a desperately cynical world - christ, the Babble should know - but a few public figures remain untarnished, standing tall as beacons of trustworthiness while our shared consensus collapses around us. The O.G. Big Dave is perhaps the most trusted of them all, the mere idea of him lying too horrible to comprehend. Which is perhaps why, when *he* tells us the planet is on fire and it's all our fault - unlike, say, every climate activist - the message is heard, listened to, and believed. It's also why he must never be allowed to retire or, frankly, drop off the perch. So to celebrate his recent 96th birthday, we ask: who really is this nonagenarian newt nuzzler? What did he do before he was climbing mountains of bat shit on telly? And do his dodgy views about birth control mean he should be a permanent resident of Inhofe corner?

This episode delves into Peter Gwynne's Newsweek article "The Cooling World" from 1975. After showing that the purported "unanimous" consensus on global cooling was a myth, we explore how that myth has infected the Congressional Record through Senator Snowball aka Senator Jim Mountain Inhofe of Oklahoma.

United States Senator Jim Inhofe has been a fixture in Oklahoma politics since the 1960s. But in February the 87-year-old announced he would be resigning less than two years into his most recent term. The timing of his announcement is key. Inhofe said he would stay in office until next year, meaning that Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt can't nominate an interim replacement. Instead, a special election will be held later this year. The surprise opening of a coveted Senate seat resulted in a number of dominoes falling as candidates started appearing out of thin air.  Today on Listen Frontier, Frontier reporter Reese Gorman discuss Inhofe's resignation, how the race is shaping up, and a pending lawsuit that might stop the process just as it's getting started.

Also, more big names enter the race for Inhofe's US Senate seat.

One of Oklahoma's US Senators,https://www.oklahoman.com/story/news/2022/02/25/sen-jim-inhofe-oklahoma-endorses-chief-staff-luke-holland-successor/6930792001/ ( Jim Inhofe, announced he is retiring from the Senate) at the end of the year, just two years into his six-year term. While the state legislature recently changed the law to permit the Governor to appoint a replacement, the timing of Inhofe's resignation - before March 1st in an even-numbered year - means that Governor Stitt will NOT get to appoint someone. Instead, a special election will be held this November, meaning that both of Oklahoma's US Senate seats are up for election, one with incumbent James Lankford seeking reelection and the other now an open seat. In this episode, we discuss possible candidates for the seat and what the implications are for Oklahoma's political landscape.

A wise person once said that when it comes to buggering up the planet, prison is an underused deterrent. And just why should it be OK to be an Earth-nausing Inhofe with impunity? NO WE AGREE WITH YOU, IT SHOULD NOT. Enter a fearsome bunch of lawyers and campaigners that have been steadily building momentum behind getting 'ecocide' - deliberately harming the environment - adopted as an international crime. And if that's one of those ideas that makes you go 'wow yes, that seems very sensible' and also 'but how the Dickens would it actually work?', then you've come to the right place this week.

Where once this small island in the mid-atlantic was famous for exporting cricket, heavy industry, global oppression and the rule of law, we're now known for the contents of our bins. For, despite a promise by Boris Johnson (we know, we know) that the UK would stop sending our crap abroad, it turns out we're still doing just that. This barefaced porkie has provoked a child to start a petition, now signed by hundreds of thousands of irked humans. So this week we jump aboard the irk express and ask why TF we can't sort out our own rubbish in our own country.PLUS, we celebrate a non-maniac becoming world boss; get all goo-ey about the Guardian doing a green thing; blow gaskets at a Cumbrian coal mine; and expose Ol as the consumerist Inhofe he truly is.

In today's show, we talk about Republicans worrying that Trump may run again in 2024, Lindsey Graham trying to steal the Senate runoff elections in Georgia, whether a Biden DOJ should prosecute Trump, and how Fox News et. al. will try to make Trump the new Reagan whose message doesn't fade for decades. And we also delve into Scott Atlas' latest inanities. (PS I was wrong about Grassley! It was Inhofe who pulled the "wanna shake hands?" prank.)This is one of our free episodes.

Your haste, Rick Freedman will Chrome the climate hero and villain of the week along with discussing worldwide environmental issues, showcasing new products designed with the longevity of our planet in mind and putting the spotlight on the individuals making a big impact in helping the climate and pollution crisis through social media. Now your host, Rick Friedman. Rick: (https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/Edit?token=YgQrZdSymDLBxlTt8HjwoewRsIGuXWDiELrGI8jjQmuSo4KSb4oSGq0hnUfZIabGaRG3iUxfPsernz49BRpW3Y6Xv9I&loadFrom=PastedDeeplink&ts=37.311 (00:37)) What is deforestation? Deforestation is the clearing, destroying, or removal of trees through deliberate, natural or accidental means. It occurs in any area densely populated by trees and other plant life, but most of it is happening in the Amazon rain forest. I remember going to the Cleveland zoo and seeing the display showing deforestation. There was the sound of buzz saws zipping through trees above it. There was a running total of acreage lost. It's like a horrible scoreboard of forest con forever. Rick: (https://www.rev.com/transcript-editor/Edit?token=YgQrZdSymDLBxlTt8HjwoewRsIGuXWDiELrGI8jjQmuSo4KSb4oSGq0hnUfZIabGaRG3iUxfPsernz49BRpW3Y6Xv9I&loadFrom=PastedDeeplink&ts=68.24 (01:08)) Part of the problem is that we're converting more land to agriculture than ever before. There's more people on the planet they need to eat. Once a forest has lost agriculture, it's usually gone forever along with the plants and animals that once lived there. Billions of acres of forest are destroyed by fire. Fire is often used as a way to clear land for planting crops. Do you remember dr Seuss, his book, the Lorax? Think about the Brown Barbara Lutes and the Swami swamps and the humming fish that flood the forest for two reasons. One, they had to get away from the pollution.
