Transcript

What do I like about it? Real easy to use. I like that. Love my presets. If you're not using it, you're missing out. Go get it. Get in on what everyone's talking about and get the new and improved free iHeart Radio app today. Mike Porcaro, behind the mic of your 50,000-watt blowtorch. News Radio 650, KENI. Live from Anchorage, it's your news and information blowtorch. on the Sunshine here in Anchorage, 34 in Palmer, 40 in Soldot, 39 in Homer, 36 in Talkeetna, Fairbanks is 31, Prudence 7 above.

Seattle 50, 40 in New York, 63 in Akaroa, New Zealand, 59 in Pensacola, Florida, 58 in Tampa, Florida, 54 in Tifton, Georgia, and Lake Havasu City, Arizona. It's 64. All right, well, Crash, it's a Thursday. I got that right. All right, that's enough. I'm going home. That's it. Good night, everybody. No, don't go home yet. Some interesting facts for today. I thought we'd start to show a little something different. Today is a day that shall live in Chicken McNugget infamy, or history. You pick.

Today, there was a Chicken McNugget back in 2012 that looked like George Washington. George Washington! Yep. And it sold for $8,100. Excuse me? I was waiting. Halfway paying attention here. $8,100 for a Chicken McNugget. That looked like George Washington. So that just tears it on the way home and hit every McDonald's and try to find Chicken McNuggets that look like something. It was on this date in 2012 that some idiot paid $8,100 for the Chicken McNugget. Crazy.

I mean, why would you do that? Why would you want one that looked like George Washington? Why would you even look at it before you ate it? I don't know that I've ever looked at a Chicken McNugget and wondered what it looked like before I ate it. It just... You open the box, you take it, you fire it in there, you chew it up, move on to the next one. Aren't you like dipping it in sauce and stuff? No, I don't do that. You don't dip it in sauce? No.

Maybe ranch, I guess. I don't know. I'm not really a nugget guy. What part of the chicken does it come from? Right. That's what I want to know. I think it's extruded. One time I saw a Cheeto that looked like Jesus, but I've never seen a Chicken McNugget that looked like a historical figure. I could just see somebody going, look, George Washington. Well, that's a joke that we can't tell on the air. No.

But that's what would happen. Also today, in 1912, the Oreo was introduced to the world. Oh, how about that? Now, see, I think... And I know there's a lot of different kinds of Oreos now. And I guess maybe I'm just a purist. What's wrong with the original Oreo? I mean, it's a perfect cookie. No, they're good. There's the new one out there. It's the Post Malone Oreo. I don't know if you're familiar with the singer Post Malone.

Thankfully, it doesn't taste like Post Malone, if you know who Post Malone is. No, I don't, and I don't really want to know what it tastes like. Yeah, it would probably taste like a cross between, you know, BO and an ashtray, but it doesn't taste anything like... Post Malone. The cream filling is chocolate and salted caramel. Okay. Yeah, we had those at the station. Yeah, I like all the offshoots of the Oreos. My biggest gripe with the Oreos, they just don't put enough filling in them.

Well, now they've got double stuff, right? Why stop there? You want triple stuff? Even more. Give me ten times the amount. Well, we used to make our own. We used to take an Oreo and then...

Break another one. Yeah, yeah. You take two double stuffed Oreos. And glue them together. Yeah, and then you take the two chocolate pieces that are left over and eat them or fire them into the trash basket. No, yeah, eat them. And then you go ahead. Now, in my house, we buy the Oreos, and my daughter likes them.

look in the garbage and there's a bunch of half-eaten oreos with teeth marks scraped across the filling that's you yeah almost both my daughter and i so you'd rather you're a cream filling guy yeah i like that um My favorite cookie is, I'm not a big sweets guy.

They're made by the Nutter Butters, but it's not the one that looks like the peanut. They're like these weird wafers that has all this peanut butter filling inside of them. I don't even know how you'd explain it, but for me, that's the Grand Poobah cookies. That's the Coupe de Grace. when you're going through the cookie cabinet there. That's the one.

I don't eat a lot of that stuff, though. I'm not a sweets guy because it doesn't go well with beer. Normally, my one vice I have as far as dessert goes is ice cream. I love ice cream. Okay, now here's what you could do. You know, with the Oreo cookies that you have just scraped all of the...

Right, you put them on the ice cream. I don't like that crap on my ice cream. I don't like chunks and nuts and berries and twigs and all that stuff. Take a little slice of ice cream and put them between. Oh yeah, you could do that and make yourself an ice cream sandwich. I don't like all that junk.

in my ice cream. I like it smooth. So you don't like crunchy peanut butter and you like smooth ice cream? I've said it before and I mean it every time I say it. I like my peanut butter and my ice cream like my prostate. Smooth and uneventful. Well, I just did it for me. I take, you know, for crunchy peanut butter. This is nothing like my prostate, and I'll have none of it. Okay. Well, um...

Yesterday we were supposed to read something for the blood bank, and for some reason or other we missed it, but we're not going to miss it today because they're good people. And the blood bank of Alaska is currently in need of... Oh, blood types. Oh, blood types. And I want to thank everybody for the idea to write blood drive donors that made their donation at the ceremonial start last Saturday. All donors that donated receive a blood drive shirt.

marking the special milestone commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Gnome Serum Drive in 1925. Donate at the center all week and get your blood drive shirt purchased online. The link is bloodbankofalaska.org. That's bloodbankofalaska.org while supplies last. And they say thank you. And so do we for saving lives with the Blood Bank of Alaska. You can also call them at 907-222-5630 to schedule your appointment to give some blood.

Yeah, and if there's some shocking statistics that go along with donating blood, one in seven, we've all known somebody who's been in the hospital. One in seven hospital patients actually need blood during their treatment, and just 2% of Alaskans donate annually. Think about that. That's a shockingly low number.

compared to the demand. The demand is huge, and just 2% of us donate annually. And another statistic that might drive it home for you, by donating blood, it takes you under two hours, and that's a long appointment, right? Sometimes you get in and out in 45 minutes.

But worst case scenario, it would take you about an hour and 45 minutes, and every donation you make could save three lives. So under two hours out of your busy afternoon could conceivably save the lives of three fellow Alaskans. So it's well worth your time to go back there and do it again.

annually, that number needs to go up exponentially. So again, 2225630. You can check out their website. Or as is the case with everything in the lives we're living today, there is an app for that. You can schedule your appointment on the Blood Bank of Alaska.

donor app as well but check out the website for all the info you need bloodbankofalaska.org all right good it's a good place and if you've ever thought about giving blood now's the time because right now they need o-type bloods we'll be right back Get on with Mike and Crash weekdays at 3 on NewsRadio 650 KENI.

Looking around your lap. Close out the week. Some sunshine carries us into our Friday with tempters on the cooler side as we welcome in the weekend as we drop back into the mid-30s. For Alaska's weather source, I'm meteorologist Aaron Morrison. Now, back to the Mike Percaro Show. It's crap. All right, it is 420. 5220650 is our number. If you want to join us, please. If you don't want to join us, that's okay, too. I mean, you can...

Sit there and be amazed at the stuff that you'll hear coming out of your radio or out of your computer or your iPhone or whatever, however you listen to us. There was a question by one of the reporters today at the White House talking about fentanyl, and apparently 43 pounds of fentanyl was seized. that came in through Canada and this one reporter goes well what's the big deal it's only 43 pounds of fentanyl and this person quickly got an education

Remember yesterday, we had the doc on yesterday, and somebody asked a question about that. What is fentanyl for? What is fentanyl? How dangerous is it? And the doc was very, very explicit as to what it's used for. and how dangerous it actually is unless you are... in a control situation, and it is controlled by the dosage by a physician, and the administration of the fentanyl is actually handled by a licensed pharmacist.

So if there is fentanyl, it's going to be done by a doctor and a licensed pharmacist. The other thing he said was a lot of pills and things are laced with fentanyl. And it doesn't take very much fentanyl to kill you. In fact, two milligrams, which is like nothing, two milligrams can kill you. That's it. So when you look at 2 milligrams and you factor it into 43 pounds, that's enough fentanyl to kill 10 million people. So now maybe that reporter knows what the big deal is.

And maybe now that that reporter knows why President Trump is so adamant about stopping the flow of this drug into our country from wherever it comes. And we understand that the Chinese make a ton of it. And they bring it in through whatever portal they can. All right, it's 422.

There was also, during the President's speech, he was talking about waste and fraud, etc., and he was talking about Social Security. And, Crash, did you hear that line where he said there was one guy over 360 years old? Yeah, I did hear that. I mean, that's just, it's crazy. I'm thinking George Washington's still collecting Social Security. Maybe he's the guy that paid for that nugget. He did.

Well, Senator John Kennedy is a Republican from Louisiana. He had one of the new Social Security guys before his Senate committee. John Kennedy is just a delightful guy. He's this country humor. He pretends he's a laid-back country lawyer. Smart as a whip. And it's just a delight to hear him because he's usually pretty dead on when he's looking at things. So why don't we roll some tape on Senator Kennedy and the Social Security guy talking about...

the checks that are going to dead people. Quickly, do you think we ought to be sending government checks to dead people? No, Senator. I think that's poor management. During the pandemic. We sent out $1.4 billion of checks to dead people, didn't we? I don't have the figure, Senator, but I wouldn't be surprised by that. And they were cashed, weren't they? They generally get cash whether they're dead or not. What does that tell you?

Somebody's live. Yep. Now, Senator Carper and I passed a bill. It took us two years. To try to stop that, when you die... the state sends your name to the social security administration your name goes on what's called the death master file yes sir i went to social security and i said uh can i see the list they said sure

I said, who do you share this with? They said, nobody. We can't. We don't have statutory authority. So you don't share it with the do not pay folks at Treasury? They said, nope. It's against the law. Well, rather than argue with them. Senator Carpenter passed a bill. But believe it or not, to say Social Security, share the dead people list with the rest of government, for God's sakes. Put down the bong and share it with them.

And believe it or not, we had opposition. So we had to agree to a three-year trial period. That three-year trial, we saved a bunch of money. That three-year trial period is up at the end of 2026. I've got another bill, Gary Peters, to extend it, to make it permanent. You guys got any problem with that? Well, Senator, I cannot speak for the president or for Director Vogue. Oh, go ahead. But I can't. It's hard for me to imagine who would be opposed. Well, you'd be surprised.

And that's Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana. All I heard was put down the bong. I thought my dad was in the room. Put down the bong! Like, oh my God, how did he know? I mean, but, you know, here's... It's unbelievable. He's very funny. And very, very, very pointed. I mean, he makes a great argument. And that is, if you die, you go on this list. And shouldn't the people that write the checks know that you're dead? I mean, is that a hard one to follow? Am I missing something?

Am I piercing the void here? How hard is that? And the fact that they wanted to do an experimental program, that's insane. If you die, you don't get another Social Security check. That's it. If you do, somebody's committing fraud. I wish the good senator luck on his new legislation. All right, it is 427. Let us take a break. We'll come back. Mike Porcaro's show with Crash on NewsRadio 650 KENI. This is NewsRadio 650 KENI Anchorage.

Raven, Alaska is canceling flights to Homer because there's no more agreement with the airport. As of Tuesday, they could not arrive at an agreement. Charter schools in Anchorage want to move into the buildings that were previously occupied by two elementary schools that are now closed. The agenda for the latest school board meeting recommended that Highland Academy Charter and the German Immersion School take over the former campus locations. There were also calls for Anchorage.

Steam Academy and the Alaska Native Cultural Charter School to also be considered. Alaska State Troopers confirming the deaths of the three heliskiers caught in the avalanche Tuesday near Goodwood, West Fork of 20 Mile River. And for the Iditarod heading into the weekend, the top five include Matt Hall, Jesse Holmes, Michelle Phillips, and former champion Ryan Reddington. In first place, after the fifth and sixth checkpoints, veteran Paige Drobny here at the 2025 Iditarod. That's the latest.

I'm Jack Cronin. News Radio 650. KE&I. Depend on it. Looking at Cher, Alaska. Total traffic cameras on this Thursday afternoon. There is steady and heavy traffic now all around the Anchorage Bowl, mostly around our local area middle schools. There are some others. And the investigative podcast, Obscurum. Season 1, Invasion of the Drones, details the story of chilling aircraft sightings in the Midwest, sparking conspiracy theories and lies until the shocking truth was revealed.

There was a drone, then it actually rotated around our house, almost looking as if it was peering in each window of our home. Listen on America's number one podcast network, iHeart. Open your free iHeart app and search Obscurum and start listening. Now, back to the Mike Porcaro Show with Crash on NewsRadio 650. Over the break, Crash and I were having a spirited discussion about movies. And we were talking about, you know, what's happened to the movies. And I was mentioning...

What I was hearing was that people only go to the movies now twice a year. Right. And Crash, I know you're a big movie guy. I love going to the movies. I love it. And admittedly, I haven't gone as much since the whole shutdown thing, the COVID thing, when everything was shut down. My daughter and I, it was almost a weekly event.

enjoyed going so much it wasn't like oh I gotta go see that at the movies it was pull up what's playing this weekend is there anything you'd like to go see yeah you know you go we find a movie we just find a movie to watch right now we go to the movies when You see a trailer for something and you're really waiting for it to come out. But the only things that really make a dent in the box office anymore...

are big tentpole studio movies, superhero movies, or some sort of remake. We're going to do a live-action version of Snow White. Yeah, right. I know. Wow. Even some of the big superheroes. Even some of the big superhero movies, like the new Captain America movie came out. Harrison Ford, we're talking about it. I mean, one of the biggest movie stars in the history of movies. He's playing the incredible Hulk. in a movie. I mean, that type of...

tentpole movie has kind of taken over the industry. And if you look at what's happened on the opposite end of the spectrum, you have these massive movie stars and huge Hollywood names who are now lending their talents to streaming services. And excellent.

They're great. Don't get me wrong. I love it. But it just shows the temperament of the world. Like, we're in a place now where you don't wait six months for something to come out at the movies. It's too long of a wait. Now you get mad if the new season of 1923.

comes out and you're you're pissed off because they only gave you three and you have to wait another week you know what i mean well yeah see that's the thing and that's on paramount and i i that show is just amazing all of those yellowstone shows tyler shared we were talking about it off air he

He did 1883, which is excellent, 1923, which is my favorite of the three Yellowstones. And then there was Yellowstone. For my money, it kind of petered out a little bit towards the end. It turned into kind of a soap opera. And once it was apparent Kevin Costner wasn't coming back, he knew the wheels were coming back.

about to fall off but nonetheless there was four or five seasons of that where that was the biggest show on television and now he's got uh the land man with um uh with billy bob thornton and i believe demi moore's in it and john ham is great it's a really good

show. Yeah, and I can't remember her name. The blonde lady that plays Billy Bob Thornton's wife, Allie Larder. She was famous for the whipped cream bikini in that football movie when I was a kid that I learned to love so much. But now when I was a kid a big hollywood star would show up on tv and that normally meant love boat or fantasy island and that means you know you know the dad from the older yeah the dad from the brady bunch his career is pretty much over because he's now on television

For crying out loud, the Netflix movie, The Irishman, that was Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, Al Pacino, and directed by Martin Scorsese. And that went straight to a streaming service. It's really kind of replaced the event of going to the movie theater. I've got big screen TVs. People want to watch this stuff from the comfort of their own home. So, I mean, I'll go to the movies anymore if it's a movie where I can't wait to see it.

It's going to be three, four months before it comes out on a streaming service. I knew Star Wars or a Batman movie or something like that will go to. But even myself, a huge movie nut. I love it. The days of my daughter and I just pulling up, you know, the Fandango app on. phone let's find something to go see this weekend we don't really do that much anymore and it's kind of a shame because

Going to the movies has always been just as much about the experience as it's about watching the film. You get your popcorn and you do all that. And if you go to Century 16, they've got to pump your own butter station, which is absolutely glorious. I always bring a travel mug and fill that thing up.

I've mentioned it before on the show. It's a great life hack for you. If you go to Century 16 and you get a big bucket of popcorn, they always do the butter the same way. They always go half popcorn, butter.

rest of popcorn butter and if you tell them you know soak that stuff then they go a little bit overboard so what you do is you go to the pump your own butter station you get a half a dozen straws and you put them into the popcorn at various depths and then you pump the butter into the straw so So it coats that version or that region or that area of your popcorn. You're getting the right...

popcorn to butter ratio. To call it butter is doing it a disservice. It's just oily golden goodness. That's all that is. I don't know what it is. I don't know what it is, but it is. I'm here for it. So yeah, get your four to six straws, put them in various

depths and then pump the butter into those straws and you'll thank me for it later and then like i said if worse comes to worse just bring a travel mug and fill that thing up and every once in a while when the popcorn gets a little dry you can distribute the butter at your leisure Wow. See, now it's something I did not know. See? You learned something today. Now I know. Right. Now I know.

The Canadians are not just on the hook here for fentanyl, and apparently Trump and Trudeau had a very colorful discussion. I guess here in the last couple of days. And Trump has, what has he done? He's suspended some tariffs for Canada and Mexico. So apparently the tariffs are... Suspendable if Trump feels things are happening. So he and Trudeau apparently traded some profanity. And maybe Trudeau was swearing at him in French too. Who knows?

But somehow, if Trudeau's swearing at you, it just probably doesn't sound very ominous. You know, I mean, I can see Trump cutting loose with a... with a string of expletives. But Trudeau, I don't know. And the press secretary for... for President Trump today had a little jab at our good friends in Canada. She said, well, I don't know why Canada doesn't want to join America. She said, at least then they'll have a team that wins the Stanley Cup. So, I don't know.

Anyway, there's a scam that's going on, and I hadn't realized that this was going on, but it's coming out of Canada, believe it or not. have been charged with being part of a scheme to defraud hundreds of seniors in the United States. Of the 25 defendants named in the indictment unsealed yesterday, 23 were arrested in Canada on Tuesday over their alleged involvement in a $21 million scam targeted at 46 states.

Between the summer of 2021 and June of 2024, the defendants deceived people into thinking that a relative, typically a grandchild, had been arrested. after a car crash and needed money to post bond. And so this is what they do. They'll call and they'll say, you know, your grandson or your granddaughter so-and-so. was in a car crash and they're arrested and they need money for bond.

And we have a lawyer here that will talk to you. And so then they pass the phone to somebody who they say is a lawyer. The lawyer tells you, oh, no, I can get your grandson out or your granddaughter out. but you have to send me the money for the bond. Well, of course, the money isn't going to go to the court. They don't do business that way. Nobody does.

And this is how they scam people. And basically, they'll ask you for more if they think you have more. And they try to do a little bit of research on you. And this is a scam that people fall for. It's real simple. If you get a call from somebody who says your grandson or your granddaughter has been in a car crash and is arrested and needs money to get out of jail. Most grandparents have the phone numbers of their grandchildren. I mean, I don't think that's a stretch.

I would politely say, I'll call you back. Hang up the phone. Call your grandson or your granddaughter. and say, were you in an accident and so and so, and they would probably start to laugh and say no. So always check. The same thing when, you know, you get a text. that says, oh, you've got some strange transactions on your bank account or whatever it happens to be. All you have to do is click this box. First of all, if it comes in at a strange time, it's probably fake.

If you have that service from your bank or credit card, it is always better not to click anything and call them. You have a credit card, call the number on the back of the credit card. Call customer service and say, I just got a text. Was it from you? And, you know, a little bit of checking is a very safe thing to do because once these guys get a hold of your account,

They're going to take every dime you've got. And that's what they prey on. They prey on the fact that it's emotion, that you're not thinking, and that you want to help somebody quickly. And the time is just take a break. Take a breath. Step back. There's no emergency here, at least not yet. And if there is, then you can do it the right way. So shame on those Canadians for trying to steal money, and I hope that they spend some time in jail. We'll be right back. Call Mike and crash now.

Be a part of the show on NewsRadio 650 KENI. Looking at your Alaska total traffic cameras on this Thursday afternoon. Steady to heavy traffic now outbound on the Glenn Highway. Starting to back up. As we welcome in the weekend as we drop back into the mid-30s. For Alaska's weather source, I'm meteorologist Aaron Morrison. Use Radio 650. 448-5220-650. Let's go to Gary. Hi, Gary. Hey, Mike. I came across this very interesting...

picture that was taken from outer space. And this picture is of the Bering Sea. And it's on the Internet, and it's in the science department. category, and it shows the trails that the trawlers leave behind. Oh. It is amazing. So you can see it from outer space. Yes. And they've probably destroyed 30% of the ocean floor.

And then you look at what made me think of this while you were talking because I was listening to you about scams. And I'm going like, you know, I read the mission statement of what? Noah is supposed to be. And my take of it, and tell me if I'm wrong, is that it's a conservation bureaucracy that's into science. And they're supposed to inform the decision makers to make good decisions. Yeah, it's supposed to give us information.

science-based information so that we can make the right decisions for how we conduct our business. For conservation of the fisheries. Well, when I read that, and I'm thinking, and I'm listening to your scam, the scams that are going on, I'm going like, you know what? Noah is scamming Alaskans out of their salmon. Because NOAA doesn't have the right to issue trawling permits. That's something I think is congressional, or it has to go through a legislative process.

Yeah, it's regulated, absolutely. Right. And then when you look at the Magnuson-Stevens Act, that's also about conservation. And then you look at ANILCA, and that has a lot to do with... I'm losing words here, Mike, but it all has to do with the way the natives fish and stuff, right? Sure. And they're going against all these laws. And that's what I can't digest very well is how do they get the authority to do it? Because they're breaking so many laws.

And when you look at that picture of the Bering Sea and all the snail trails they're leaving behind, I'm thinking, where's their environmental protection study? How do they get away with it? And when you compare what the EPA does to mining and timber and oil, they take those measurements by the parts per billion. And this resource... has no oversight at all. And they're making billions and billions of dollars, and they're destroying our subsistence lifestyles.

Our Alaskan fishermen, they're destroying it all. And I don't know why more people aren't enraged about it. Well, I guess I would wonder why the legislature and our executive leaders aren't more enraged about it. Cash. Cash is king. Well, we'll see. Who knows? I don't know. Gary, I appreciate you bringing that up. Thank you very much. You bet. Bye. Okay. 522-0650.

It's 453. And warm temperatures and low snowpack are prompting the Alaska Division of Forestry and Fire Protection to issue a public order. declaring an early start to the fire season in much of southeast and south central, as well as smaller areas in western and interior Alaska. The areas with heightened fire danger include Copper River, Valdez, Mat-Su Valley, Kenai, Kodiak, McGrath, Southwest, and all.

of southeast Alaska. Burn permits will be required in those areas effective March 17. The Alaska fire season is off to an ominous start. According to the Alaska Interagency Coordination Center fire analyst Nate Perrine. The biggest concern is going to be if we get to be dominated by some high pressure later this spring or early this summer. If we continue to stay warm and dry, it will keep the grass from greening up and make it more...

available to burn. Now I've been talking about this for a while. I'm wondering where our state of Alaska is in terms of mediation of the fuels that are in the forests and around Anchorage and around the state of Alaska, especially populated areas, and I've yet to see anything.

criticizing the good folks in this division. I know they can only do what they can do with a budget that they have. And then when we were talking to a nice lady at the Halo Community Council she mentioned that one of the senators up here and the leader of the majority in the Senate Senator Giesel was asked about fire protection. The report was, Senator Giesel said, get your PFDs together and this is how you can protect yourself. Well, that's just crap.

Okay? I mean, let me just bluntly say it. The state of Alaska, I know we are facing some tough economic times. But... If you lose a part of your city here in Anchorage, you're going to lose a lot. And right now, we have some time. You want to know what it could look like? Go look at California. Go look at Los Angeles. Go look at Pacific, you know, Palisades. This can happen here. But...

For us to sit back and essentially know it could happen and do nothing about it, that to me is criminal. Yes, criminal. We'll be back. An advanced directive is your life on your terms. I want all the medical treatment available to me. I wouldn't want my family to have to make this decision. Talk with your family, your friends, your doctor. Know the options.

Decide what's right for you, then put it in writing. Documenting my wishes today means my family won't have to make heart-wrenching decisions later. Visit www.putitinwriting.org.

And some new temperatures, 37 in Anchorage, 34 in Palmer, 38 in Sodotna. 39 in Homer. Talkeetna is 35. Fairbanks is 31. And Prudhoe Bay is plus 6. Let's go to Katie. Hi, Katie. Hi, Mike. Listen, you are so right. Fire season has. started. We had a really productive meeting yesterday with AFD's wildfire division.

The group that was there were the leadership of the Wildland Urban Interface Community Action Team, what we're calling WUICAT, but you're going to hear a lot about that in the next few months. The fire season is underway. And we have a potential disaster facing us. Yes. The unity message, though, that we took away from yesterday is if you see smoke...

Call AFD. Do not delay call AFD. Call 911 immediately. In our parks, on our trails, if you see smoke, dial 911. But you need to follow up on that. After the fire... we need to call APD and ask for enforcement. See, AFD, the fire department, puts out the fires, but APD, the police department, is the one that enforces our laws.

And most of these campfires that start our woodland fires are illegal. We need to demand enforcement. And I'll tell you, this is really scary. In the last 20 years, we average... 106 wildland fire calls per year. Wow. Yeah. I mean, especially up here in this part of the city, I mean...

there's no help. I mean, it's the Pacific Palisades and Altadena and all of those places put together. And it's not like we don't know what could happen. It's not like we haven't seen what could happen in other places. And as I said at the end of the segment, for our state and our politicians and our elected officials to do nothing, it's criminal. I'm sorry. Yes.

Well, let me tell you, tonight is our Halo Candidate Forum, Halo being the Home and Landowners Organization Incorporated. We do a forum before every election. And the forum is tonight at the Alaska Zoo. We start at 630. And we're going to have a presentation from our AFD's wildfire division. They're going to talk about our resources that are available to us.

They're going to answer our questions, but we need to know what we've got coming this year. Do we have access to a helicopter and when? Because helicopters are how we do fire mapping and water drops. Speaking of water, where are our water sources? Are our creeks open yet? Where do we have water? We're also going to be talking about the planned projects we have. Some of them are going to be in your neighborhoods.

We've got a HALO project that's going to reestablish fire lines. We've got a lot of projects that are going this year, and this is going to be everyone's opportunity to ask... questions directly of the wildfire division, how this affects us. And we also have a candidate forum. We've got school board seat A and B and assembly districts four and six that are up for election.

And mail-in ballots will be coming out very soon. Well, this is all exciting. Does HALO come out with a list of candidates that they endorse, or are you just going to... No, we are completely... Completely nonpartisan. Some of us are on one side of the aisle, and some of our best friends are on the other side of the aisle. But we have civil conversations. Isn't that unique?

Well, it is, and it's a good thing to have. So who are the people that are going to be up there tonight? Well, in school board seats, we've got Marco Bellamy and Alexandra Rosales, Mark Anthony Cox and Kelly Lessons. And for assembly, we've got Aaron Baldwin-Day and Don Smith, Darren Colbury, and Keith McCormick. And they will each be discussing their ideas for the future of Anchorage, how we fix some of these problems.

And we have some problems to fix. Amen to that. All right, what time does this start again? 6.30? We start at 6.30. It's at the Alaska Zoo. Swing by after work. We have snacks, and I guarantee it'll be interesting. And if you want to ask questions of any of these people, this is the perfect time. Remember, these people are running for a job. We are interviewing the candidates that we're going to hire.

Absolutely. Well, Kenny, it's always great to talk to you. Halo does a great job. Basically, at the end of the meeting, if you think there's something that you'd like to share, With the greater audience here, we'd love to have you tell us your impressions. I absolutely will. Thank you so much for the time, Mike. You bet. Take care. Have fun tonight. Okay. Bye now. All right. Bye-bye. All right, it is 513.5-522-0650. Let's do this. Let's take our break now, and we'll come right back.

The Mike Porcaro Show with Crash on NewsRadio 650. K-E-N-I. Looking at your Alaska total traffic cameras on this Thursday afternoon. Steady to heavy traffic now outbound on the Glenn Highway. Starting to back up there at 5th Avenue at Airport Heights. That backup is extending back towards the 5th, 6th Avenue split. Also, it looks like Minnesota Drive is getting a pretty good slowdown starting in...

Benson, traffic backing up down towards Westchester Lagoon. From the Swickard Chevrolet Anchorage Traffic Studios, I'm Daryl Dean. This report is sponsored by Compassion International. Every day a child in poverty waits for a sponsor is another day of hopelessness. There are thousands of kids who've been waiting over a year.

In their week, some sunshine carries us into our Friday with temperatures on the cooler side as we welcome in the weekend as we drop back into the mid-30s. For Alaska's weather source, I'm meteorologist Aaron Morrison. Use Radio 650 KENI Anchorage. Welcome back everybody. 18-522-0650. Let's go to Rusty. Hi, Rusty. Hello, Mike. How are you today? Well, I'm doing good. Thank you. Well, I was listening about that scam going on.

And a couple years ago, my mom got a call saying that my son was in jail and needed some bail money. And it was pretty, they actually had his voice. And it sounded like him on the phone. And she immediately, she's in Georgia, and she called me right after that and said, what's going on? Why are you not getting that boy out of jail? I said, well, he hasn't called me.

And they never, but they did call her, and she was just about ready to send them money. Oh, geez. Yeah, that's, I mean, to me, that's so cruel. That is so cruel for those people. Yeah. But anyway, she did not send him any money. We got ahead of it before she did, but she was ready to send it. Because you'll do anything for your grandkids.

Of course you will. And that's why I say, you know, that most of the time you should have your grandkids' cell numbers so you can just call them and say, are you in jail? You know? He's like, yeah, and Willie's after me. Anyway, good talking to you. When you reported that, I thought, yeah, we went through that, but we didn't give her no money. That's good. That's very good. Yeah, just always take that breath and check it out yourself, because nine out of ten times, they're a scammer. D-Cast.

All right, I'm back. The coffee girl. Well, I hope. What are you getting? What are you ordering? Decaf Americano. Decaf Americano. All right. Yeah. With heavy cream. You've got to treat yourself to something, right? The decaf helps. Now, see, if you were in Canada, you know what they're calling those things? They're calling them Canadianos. Canadianos. It's like...

They're about as strong as... All right, Rusty. Hey, you take care. Enjoy your Americano. All right. Thank you. You bet. All right. 5-2-2-0-6-50. Let's go to Roland. Hi, Roland. You know, this thing about us suddenly needing taxes and everything else. Our legislators have been spending money like drunken sailors. You go out to a small village and they've got a huge school with a gym and all this wonderful stuff.

We still maintain them and everything else. They just expect us to keep doing this kind of stuff. I want to help the villages as much as anybody does. We're getting carried away with, they think that this money that is ours because of what we've done with the system, meaning we don't have any rights to our...

or oil or anything else, you know, that's been put into everybody's name, basically. But now the legislator just thinks, hey, they're so dumb. We're just going to keep spending this money, and they don't care. Well, I think by what Doge has done and stuff, this money that's been, you know, buying... $200 toilet seats and stuff like that has gotten a little out of hand. Yes, I think so. Especially when we're paying dead people.

Social security money. And I'll bet you a dollar we've got a lot of the same thing going on in this state where either it's dead people or it's people that... is a relative of whoever the politician is or whatever. So they're getting kickbacks and everything else. They just think we're just going to keep this up. Now they're starting to use, you know, they're starting to threaten on us, basically. And, you know, saying, you know, it's for the kids. Well, you know, if they give us something.

It's actually working, and we're getting kids that are smarter. I mean, I graduated, and I couldn't write a check after getting out of high school. I couldn't write a check without – I had to have the things written on the –

things so that I could actually write a check. I didn't know how to... I'm being honest. And that's graduating from here from Kugak High. Wow. And I don't think it's gotten any better. You know, I'm a lot smarter than I can... do right now, but I tell you what, they sure didn't treat me very good coming out of high school, and I doubt they're treating our kids that well either right now.

But they think we're just going to let them keep, oh, you know, we're saving you guys by not giving you this money. You know, you were talking about the Mackey plan. You know, I bet you they would buy us out. You're right. They would buy us out. They'd give us $1,400, and that would be our buyout. They're not going to give us a large amount of money. Because they think we're that dang stupid. They do. I'm sorry. I'm kind of upset right now. I can tell. They expect us to just...

Go along and be happy that they're giving us a pittance for things that, you know, we should be getting good money for. And, you know, years ago there was some politician that was told, We can't give them all that money because they just waste it. Well, they're wasting it. I'd rather waste it on myself versus them wasting it on what they want to waste it on. Exactly. If I'm going to blow money, it's going to be my money, not somebody else's. So, yeah, I hear what you're saying.

Roland, it's very sad. These people have no respect for us. And it's even some of our Republicans. Well, people that call themselves Republicans. And we've got to make some changes. Just no question. So I will let you know. Hopefully we're going to get, I think we should get a hold of Elon Musk and say, hey, when you're done. we'd like to borrow you probably for just a week. You could probably get this done in a week. Probably could. They've already got it figured out.

Yeah, they do, but I think we need to basically kick over the garbage cans and open up the desks and open the windows and let the light in. And, you know, daylight and transparency is the best medicine, and we need that. Yeah, I want to watch those cockroaches. Yeah, they'll run. Thanks, Roland. I don't belong in jail. Well, could be. Could be. All right. We've got to take a quick break. 526. We'll be right back. This is NewsRadio 650. KE&I. Anchorage.

The 2025 Iditarod heading into the weekend. Among the top five, former champion Ryan Reddington, Michelle Phillips, Jesse Holmes, and Matt Hall, with veteran Paige Drobny hitting both the fifth and sixth checkpoints in first place. Raven Alaska says they are...

discontinuing flights to Homer because they could not arrive at an equitable agreement with the airport. They have canceled flights as of Tuesday. Last state troopers are confirming the deaths of the three heliskiers were caught in that avalanche near Girdwood. West Fork of 20 Mile River on Tuesday afternoon. The skiers have been confirmed dead in the avalanche. And charter schools and acreage are looking to move into the vacant campuses now after the two elementary schools closed.

The agenda for the latest school board meeting is recommending that Highland Academy Charter and the German Immersion School take over the former campus locations. That's the latest. I'm Jack Cronin. This is News Radio 650. KENI Anchorage. Looking at your Alaska total traffic cameras on this Thursday evening. There is now... Now, back to the Mike Porcaro Show with Crash on NewsRadio 650 KENI.

5.30. Welcome back. Let's go to Wojtek. Hi, Wojtek. Hi, good afternoon, sir. I have a quick question. Have you heard anything about UAA inviting Liz Cheney for a speaking engagement. You know, I heard that. I hadn't really confirmed it, but I heard it, and I'm trying to remember where the heck I heard it. But it was also, again, this is all unfounded. I don't know if it's true or not.

Maybe somebody from UAA can call us. But I heard that they were paying her some astronomical amount of money and that the tickets were expensive. $151,000. Something like that, which seems to me to be strange, because if they're paying her that, then I'm worth at least $251,000. Absolutely. No question. But the question is, what is she going to be talking about, about how to destroy evidence? I guess it's like, I hate Trump, I hate Trump. That's probably what she'll say for an hour.

I mean, I don't know what you would... In May, in May, so isn't that like a free vacation? You know, if she would be coming in November or January, I got it, but middle of May... I don't know who is doing these invites over there at UAA, but this is totally wrong. Well, let's see. I've got something here. Defending democracy. This is from UAA. A conversation with Liz Cheney, Colleges of Arts and Sciences. And this is actually from UAA. And it says...

Thursday, May 1st, 6.30 p.m., the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts, the Atwood Concert Hall. So they're expecting a big... A big amount of people. Former Congresswoman Liz Cheney is at the fulcrum of our political divide, displaying courage, discipline, and integrity in the wake of a national crisis. Cheney's actions during her last term in Congress laid bare. her commitment to country and democracy over politics, and they pose new questions about the future of America's two-party system.

Here Cheney tells stories of how she arrived at her personal convictions, her remarkable career in Congress, and the road that lies ahead. Her insight into policy, principled leadership, and the future of bipartisanship. is unparalleled. Holy mackerel. Yeah, and her daddy didn't have nothing to do with her. No, I was going to say, I mean, if somebody wants to actually spend money on this, you know, good for them.

Well, my question is why UAA is paying her, if that's true, $151,000? That's the question. Yeah. Now, I don't know if that number is correct or not, Wojtek, but I'm sure they're paying or something. I mean, she wouldn't come up here for nothing. The other thing is, I mean, this is a 20, basically 2,000-seat arena here or whatever. I mean, that's where they held concerts.

I can't imagine the thing is going to be full, but maybe I'm crazy. Maybe. Well, there is enough Democrats to do it, but maybe they should get it at the Subaru dealership. I mean, they're going to have to charge at least $100 to have her. I can't imagine spending $100 hearing her. Well, probably we are on the same side, but there is enough people to spend even more for that. But I just thought that public money, UAE money spending for something like this, it's ridiculous.

Well, that's a good question. So are they going to invite a conservative up here? I would hope so. No, they, remember, they invited one doctor, what was his name, and then they sent him to the valley, right? for engagement. Our superintendent didn't allow him to speak. Oh, that's right. Yes, yes, yes. Yeah, because the kids needed to be in school. That's why. So anyway.

Sir, you have a wonderful rest of the afternoon. All right. I will do it. Thank you, Wojtek. Appreciate it. Thank you. Bye. Okay. All right. 535. So, yeah. No, Liz Cheney is coming up here May 1st. Crash, you're going to get your tickets? Oh, I'm part of the fan club. Are you? Front row. Front row, backstage, the whole nine yards. I mean, you know. It's America. She wants to come up here and speak. Come on up. I'll throw my panties on the stage. Don't. Don't.

Somehow that cheapens the whole thing. They're pretty expensive. Are they? Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, here's a woman who says she's a Republican. Maybe in her mind she thinks she is. And she voted to impeach Trump. She was on the January 6th committee. And she comes from the reddest state in America, Wyoming. I mean, nothing is redder than Wyoming. And she was just decimated at the polls.

And was that, I mean, she had to know. I mean, she doesn't seem like a dumb person. She had to know what was in store for her. But, you know, she basically is now ponied up, and she should really become a... progressive liberal Democrat, because that's kind of where she is on the spectrum. And, you know, she hates Trump, apparently. And, I mean, you know, so I don't know who's going to go. I mean, there's a lot of...

Liberal people up here are great. If you want to go see Liz Cheney, more power to you. Go enjoy it and spend your money. But if you brought up a conservative... Somehow there would be demonstrations and all sorts of stuff. And, you know, let me just pick this up. And I'm not picking on UAA because I think UAA is a great place. I like UAA.

But students and faculty at the University of Alaska are pushing back against a recent decision by the Board of Regents to strike diversity, equity, and inclusion language at the university and to change programs, if necessary, to comply with state and federal non-discrimination

laws and guidance now in case these students don't quite understand what's going on here it's about money money kids that's what it's about you see If suddenly they didn't do what was told to them by the administration, and... The administration said, well, look, I told you what we were going to do. We're going to stop the funding. You're not going to get any federal money because you're continuing with what we consider to be ridiculous programs. I'm sure the kids don't think so.

the administration does, and they've got the money. So what's going to happen is if you don't follow through, and I think the Board of Regents is being very prudent. and making a good decision here. Spending money on diversity, equity, and inclusion, to me that says I'm going to promote you because of what you say you are, what you look like, and the fact that you should be part of it instead of your merit.

Now, I don't know about you folks, and I'm sure folks listening to us in this audience, if you go to a doctor, you want to make sure the doctor is competent. And I don't care what the doctor looks like. I don't care what color the doctor is, what religion the doctor is. I don't care any of that stuff. Is the doctor good at what the doctor does? That's it. That's my gauge. Merit. Same thing with a pilot.

Same thing with anything. It's absolutely to me insane to think that I'm going to promote somebody over somebody else because of their color of their skin. I mean, didn't we go through a whole bunch of this stuff way back saying this was wrong? Well, it's wrong for all sides. Merit. Merit. That's the basis of what America is. Merit. So the university has said, no more. But yet, you've got...

These groups, I guess a student group and some faculty members, are very upset about this. Well, you know what? State money goes into this, and I have... a say too, just the way they do. And I disagree with them. I think the University Board of Regents said exactly the right thing. Because if they took away that federal money, And then with state money gone, you don't have very much of a university. So we've got a good university. Why don't we get behind it and keep it, right?

Resolutions passed in response by students and faculty leaders in the system fault the board for a lack of public notice. They argue that the board acted even though it's unclear if the federal guidance is legal. Well, they say it's legal. And that's what they did. A federal judge also issued an injunction against executive orders from the president.

that target university, diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Okay, that's a federal judge, one federal judge that certainly can be overturned. President of the Faculty Senate at the University of Alaska Fairbanks said that most faculty are stunned this happened without any notification or chance to discuss it.

Scrubbing our websites of DEI, in my view, is illegal because it infringes on my First Amendment rights and on the rights of all other students in this faculty and staff in university. He's a professor of neurobiology and neuropsychology. That sounds like a smart guy. Ralph Seekin, the board chair of the Regents, said in an interview that he doesn't criticize opponents for speaking out. And no.

Absolutely not. But he said he believes they do not understand the risk, this is what I said before, that the university faced of losing $200 million. in federal funds. That is a big enchilada. A January 20th executive order from Trump was among the key federal actions the board considered in its decision. That order rescinded the 60-year-old order from President Johnson that required federal contractors to create

create affirmative action programs to promote equal employment opportunities. That was followed by a memorandum from the Office of the Attorney General saying the Department of Justice will investigate. Eliminate and penalize illegal DEI programs, Sikin said. A U.S. Education Department letter to schools said they could lose federal funding if they considered race in employment decisions, scholarships, financial aid, and all other aspects of student, academic, and campus life.

Schools had two weeks to comply. The short timeline and complicated issues at hand are factors in why there was an advance notice on the agenda, Seekin said. He said the temporary injunction is not the final word, and the board needed to take action to protect. the university. That in and of itself is the story in a nutshell. The Board of Regents has a duty to protect the university and that's what they did.

Now, people may not like it, and people can argue about it now, I suppose, if they wish, but they had to do something to protect the university. And now, let's see how it all plays out. Everybody take a breath. We'll be back. Call Mike and crash now. Be a part of the show on News Radio 650 KENI.

Following the departure of the rain and the snow, we are going to see the trend towards drier conditions to close out the week. Some sunshine carries us into our Friday with tempters on the cooler side as we welcome in the weekend as we drop back into the mid-30s. For Alaska's weather source, I'm meteorologist. We are back. 522-0650. Well, it happened today. Representative Andy Ogles, a Republican of Tennessee, filed a resolution to punish the Democrats who derailed House floor proceedings.

as representative Al Green. I swear I thought that was the soul singer. Didn't you, Crash? Wow, what's Al Green doing in there? But no, he's a representative from Texas, I guess the Houston area. He was censured today. We have a country to run. The failed policies of the Joe Biden administration is why they lost the House, why they lost the Senate, and why they lost the presidency. They can lick their wounds all day, but they still have to behave on the House floor.

He told Fox News that he intends to deem the resolution privilege, meaning House leaders will have two legislative days to take the measure up. It was voted on. He was censured. Meanwhile, before the formal censure could be read, Green... And Democrats upended the House floor proceedings by gathering with the Texas Democrats singing, We Shall Overcome.

Johnson was forced to call the House into a recess after failing multiple times to quell the protest. This is the kind of stuff that these guys are doing. It's like you have a set of rules. Now, you don't have to like what Trump says. They don't have to like what you say. Nobody has to like what anybody says. But you have a set of rules. You're all people who are under the same rules.

And you agree, as a member of the House, to obey them. Because there's a reason for them. There should be decorum. There should be an opportunity for people to say what they want to say, of course. But it should be done... in as civil a manner as possible and not interrupt somebody else and not interrupt the business of the house. Meanwhile, that's what they did.

The House floor briefly descended into chaos as a small group of Republicans and Democrats continued confronting each other, with one Republican heard calling Democrats embarrassing. And they continue to do this. They've learned nothing. They are descending into a region into an abyss. I mean, I don't know what's wrong with these people.

It's like, I didn't just want you to think it couldn't get worse. It does. The Democrats at this point have nothing. This is it. This is how you conduct yourself. And Representative Green, I'll give him credit for saying, I'm ready to take whatever punishment they give me. Alright? You knew exactly what you were doing, and you knew exactly the fact that you were going to get punished in some way for your breach. So he was ready to take it. But take it!

Don't do this. And I'm sure that Mike Johnson, who's the Speaker of the House, probably thought, come on. We're above all of this. Let's stop this nonsense. Now those people that interrupted... the reading of this censure, they also should be censured. I mean, they were told time and time again to stop, get back to, you know, get back to decorum and move on. But that's not who they are. They've got nothing. When you've got nothing, this is how people act. Ogle's resolution...

first obtained by Fox News Directive Sergeant at Arms to provide a determination of which members ignored the Speaker's directive to leave the well of the House. Upon submission of that list,

the Speaker, they would be removed from any standing committee on which they currently serve through a remainder of the 119th Congress. Well, you know, maybe that's exactly what should happen. If you... essentially flout the laws that you're supposed to be living under and you know it I mean this this wasn't anything somebody didn't know they think this was willful they knew what they were doing then

There should be some consequence. Otherwise, everybody's going to do it. You know, I guarantee you, if the Democrats were in charge of the House, and a Republican did what Mr. Green did, hell would have been brought on that guy's head. And if the Republicans acted in the same manner, They would have been stripped of everything they could be stripped of. We have a double standard. Somehow the Democrats don't feel like they have to do anything they don't want to do.

They don't have to obey laws. They don't have to obey procedures. They can just do whatever they want. No. Those days are over with. You know, if you're going to become relevant, if you're going to be a part of this group that is supposed to be governing and helping to govern America, then act that way. Instead of like a bunch of junior high school kids who just lost the big game. I've got to tell you, I've never seen...

A party descend into an abyss like this so quickly. Trump has essentially defeated them, mind, body, and soul. And they have no way to come out of it. Because they have no direction. There's no leadership. They have nothing. This is the only thing they can do. You know? They can bark. That's it. All right. It is 554-522-0650. That's the telephone number. Tomorrow is the last day of the week.

Crash, what are you looking for this weekend? Do anything exciting? No, that's the way I want it. My wife and daughter are actually out of the country right now. And so I got the place to myself all weekend. Oh, my. Yeah, exactly. Oh, my. And they let you alone? Yeah, they didn't really have a choice.

Now, spring break started, right? It starts tomorrow? I believe so. I don't know. We didn't really pay attention to it because my daughter, she doesn't worry about it because she's gone. She's in Japan with my wife right now. Wow. And so then you're going to you're going to join them. Yes, spring break to start to starts tomorrow. So, yeah, I am. I'm leaving next Tuesday night. OK, so next Tuesday night. And you're not going to you're going to know what month it is when you.

No, I talked to my wife today. She had no idea what day of the week it was. And I was confused as well. I talked to her at 945 this morning and it was three in the morning on Friday where she was. Right. Yeah. So she was already in Friday. Yeah. But, you know, Japan's got a lot of cool stuff. My daughter was really enamored with the fact that they stayed at a hotel last night and they ordered room service and it was brought to the room by a robot. Yeah, I mean, it's a very high-tech country.

They really enjoy that stuff. And then your wife speaks Japanese. Yeah, she did the foreign exchange thing for two or three years while she was in high school. So she lived there for a couple of years. She's a teenager. It's one of those things where if you don't keep the muscle moving, you lose it a little bit. She's not completely fluent anymore, but she's the one that's going to get us through the trip. She will get you through the trip. Right.

She will know what she's doing. I know a little bit of Japanese, like aloha, that type of stuff. That's good. I think that means I'm hungry in Japanese. Elizabeth, I told you the story about the American baseball player who was over there, and he goes, man, he said, everything is foreign here. The only English words I've seen are Toyota. I'm just hoping I can find a good place for sushi. I think you will. Right.

I think you will. All right, well, you're on Monday? Yeah, I'm here tomorrow and Monday, and then after that I'm done for about a week and a half. Okay, sounds great. All right, well, we'll talk to you tomorrow. We will never fully understand what we've asked of our military service members, of their families or their children, asking them to deploy, patrol, stay on watch, on point.

asking them to put themselves in harm's way, to endure it all. But we do understand that it's our turn, our duty, to bring them all the way home. to keep them secure, to have their backs for the rest of their lives. Wounded Warrior Project long-term support programs do whatever it takes to help our most severely ill or injured veterans live independently. Find out how you can help at findwwp.org.
