Killer Storm Milton is a Warning Unheeded

are joining me. You know, I do have some listeners in Florida, and I'm just if you haven't gotten out, you can't and so I hope you're safe. Hurricane Milton is vacillating between A four and five. It's kind of like Chinatown and fade dunaway sister daughter, sister, daughter four or five, four or five, And I make light of it, but of course it is no laughing matter. This is

a hugely killer storm. And as I said, right now, as we speak, there are people alive that are going to be dead tomorrow at this time because of a hurricane. And this keeps happening, and we keep hearing the terms once in a lifetime, once in a generation, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah uh. And the fact of the matter is that it's not. This is It's what I keep telling everyone here in Las Vegas about Las Vegas weather. This is not an aberration. In other words,

we are October ninth, We're nine days into October. We're still having one hundred degree temperatures. That's never happened. It's the longest end of the season in the summer that we've ever had one hundred degree temperatures. That's going to be normal, Okay, that's not going to be like, oh my god, record every day people are being forced to see record breaking once in a lifetime. And it's not. This is what we have done to the planet already, but we continue to do more every day, and there

is no urgency to fix it on anyone's behalf. Greta gets made fun of because of how she tries to say, no, the time is right now, right now, And Milton, the waters in the Gulf have warmed. Why because we've warmed them.

We've warmed the planet, and the water is on the planet, and so the water is warmer now much warmer, and that much warmer water is fueling these killer We're going to have to expand they're already talking about expanding the hurricane scale from five up to perhaps six or seven or even ten, because these storms and their intensity are

getting stronger and stronger and stronger. And you know, people in Florida and other places, they're acting like this is a run of the mill hurricane, and they did with Helene. Oh well, it's just a hurricane. We know, heat waves, flooding. Everything that's now happening is not run of the mill, nor is it like it was. It's a new normal. And we have not built infrastructure for it. In fact, our infrastructure is buckling everywhere the weather goes. We have

not built anything to survive this. Our homes, nothing. And as these disasters become more and more and more prevalent, and they're going to we're going to have to make some tough choices, and we won't. And that's what's really on my mind, outside of what I talked about yesterday, which you know, I didn't magically get better overnight. You know how I told you yesterday, I spend most of the day thinking about dying and I wish, you know,

I wish more people did. I know that sounds odd, but I currently may be making an appointment in Los Angeles with a neurologist because I am not content to have my thigh muscle. I'm sorry my calf muscle jump around for more months. It's been seven. I want a treatment, or I want to at least be told there's not a treatment because it's this, this or this. I want to know exactly why my left calf muscle is jumping around. Why last night in my sleep my biceps had daggers

through them. Now I'm told it can be my neck. You know why my voice is getting hoarse. I want to know these things, and then I want to act upon them. You know, there's a whole longevity movement in this country and in the world. Billionaires are trying to extend their lives for what and I mean that honestly, people want to live to be one hundred. Why the planet is going to be hugely inhospitable and we're not doing anything about it. We're not moving major crops. Okay,

so there's going to be food shortages. I mean, that's just going to happen. It's not fantasy. It's not you know, al gore being you know, too much of a ah, you know, too scary. It's real, it's happening, and we are acting like climate change is not a real thing that is going to kill us. It is more dangerous than nuclear war. According to the scientist, we have a bigger threat from the environment than we do Russia or China.

But we spend billions on trying to protect ourselves from Russia and China and spend a fraction of that to make changes for climate change. And there's no one, not one government willing to make the sweeping changes immediately. Milton is going to crash into Tampa, kill people, tear down infrastructure, tear down buildings, destroy people's homes, and we're not going to do a thing about it. I often wonder if

humans have a death wish. Maybe we feel we don't belong, maybe we feel we don't deserve to continue as a species,

but we have a death wish. Only idiots would do what we do now as a race, and I'm talking worldwide, but in the United States specifically, only idiots would know that the number one cause of death for children are guns and do nothing about it, and claim that it's politics or a piece of paper with one sentence that was originally written in calligraphy, that's stopping us from protecting

our children. That's stupid. Only idiots would say, yeah, the climate's changing, but we're making these steps by twenty thirty and by twenty fifty. Screw that. Fossil fuels should be outlawed by twenty twenty five. By the end of next year period, meat and dairy farming, and meat and dairy consumption should be slashed by eighty percent over the next twelve months, eighty percent less cows, pigs, chickens, eighty percent.

You should only have available to you twenty percent of the meat and dairy that you have available to you now. And I don't want to hear about how it's my right to eat meat. No it's not. It is no longer your right to not be a plant based eater, because your diet is literally killing the planet. Your diet, if you are not a vegan, your diet is causing Milton.

You are partially responsible for the deaths in Helene and in Milton and in every other storm because you continue to contribute to climate change and will do nothing about it. Because you've got your excuses. Oh, well, what's it matter if I do it. China's not going to do it, Russia is not going to do it. What's it matter if I do it? Corporations aren't going to do it. That attitude is what's killing us, and that attitude is

all just self serving. We are so self serving that we do not believe we shouldn't have to make or need to make sacrifices, real sacrifice to save the planet. We won't make real sacrifices to save our children. We'd rather send our children to school and let them have active shooter drills and be terrorized that they're going to be killed than to get rid of guns. We would rather have the diets that we have, have the cars that we have, generate electricity the way that we generated

get transportation. In other words, you're you know, having a car. We would rather have all that convenience than actually save the planet. You know, we should be outlying all forms of public transportation except I'm sorry, all forms of transportation except public transportation. All cities should just say within our city limits, no cars, no trucks. You're gonna have to move your goods and services another way. Because you're killing the planet and we're not going to have tens of

thousand or millions. There are millions of people that now have to relocate, and they're not We're not telling Florida. We're not going to ensure any home in Florida. So if you live there, you're on your own. We're not going to have FEMA respond to any event in Florida, period. No more federal aid for your emergencies. You need to relocate. We're not going to allocate billions of dollars like the three hundred billion we gave to Ukraine to help cities relocate.

We're not going to give American families any kind of help to move out of climate dangerous zones into areas that aren't so dangerous. We're not going to build and expand all this vast property that we have in this country to give room for people to move to new places where the climate isn't going to be so severe. We're not going to do that. So the Earth is going to kill us in great numbers in my lifetime and in your lifetime. And you just have to wonder,

is it really big business that's preventing this. I used to think it was money. I used to think, you know, until it becomes profitable, they're just not going to save the planet. I used to think that, But now I think it's individual greed, and I mean that, each of you and me. We won't give up our cars. Oh no, I need a car. I've got to get to work. I've got to do this. I've got to do that. I've got to get to the target. I've got to

get to the Walmart. We won't give up having things shipped to us from across the globe, like fruits and vegetables. We won't build vertical hydroponic gardens to start bringing produce and fruits and vegetables to the areas where they are consumed. Los Angeles doesn't produce all of its own food. Vada certainly doesn't produce all of its own food. Las Vegas

should be one hundred percent food independent. There should be vertical, climate controlled gardens that provide all the fruits and vegetables that everybody in Nevada needs right here in Nevada. We shouldn't have mangoes from India and grapes from Colombia and watermelon from you know, Georgia. That it shouldn't be that way because it takes so much fossil fuel and so many resources to get that food to where it needs to be that it's killing the planet. But we won't

do it. We won't make people eat regionally eat and make them come up with solutions, because we would come up with solutions. If you told people we're phasing out personal automobiles. You can have public transportation. We'll have little ubers transport pods that can come pick you up and take you places. But you're not going to own a car.

We won't tell people that. We'll say you can own an electric motorcycle, you could own an electric golf cart or whatever, but you're not owning a fucking Ford F twenty five hundred the eight super blah blah blah gas guzzling piece of crap. We won't say even that. We are not going to sell you a truck or a giant suv if your job doesn't require it. We won't limit what people can buy. We won't do anything to save ourselves at all. We just won't. And yet we

want to live longer. We spend a fortune on healthcare because we want to survive. Why why do we want to survive? If we don't think about the survival of our planet, of our species, and who wants to live in a world that's one hundred and ten degrees all the time with no rain and storms killing I mean, really, we've never given thought to any of this. And now, as Milton serves as another reminder that the climate is

already almost irreparably damaged, we don't heed the warning. We don't say, you know what, we have got to We've got to stop, like today, we have to stop we have mass shootings. We don't heed the warnings. We don't say we've got to outlaw guns tomorrow, Like get Congress together and if they don't vote them all out and put someone in that will we get We just can't let this just go on willy nilly. You know, I spend a lot of time trying to think about what

disease does I have. I wish America and the world would worry.

By the way, whoever's in the chat room and said they just paused a Phil Hendry editorial to come and see me? He

would approve. Phil and I are friends, good friends, like family. We're family. Phil and I We've been through so much. And David G. Hall just had his sixtieth birthday, which just blew me away. I can't believe Davy is sixty. I can't, you know, I can't. And David G. Hall, the former program director of KFI who created Me and Phil and Doctor Laura and everybody else, is possibly one of the greatest men I've ever known in my life. And Phil, you know, Phil's gone through a lot of drama,

personal drama. He went through a phase of too much alcohol, didn't we all, And he's emerged a strong legend. And that's what he is. He is a legend. He still does me sometimes. Me and Andrew. I'm Corell and I'm Andrew. And it just I've been crying a lot recently, you know, And maybe this climate change topic really speaks to something. You know that the Tropicana Hotel was blown up last night made a large sound throughout the valley. Trust me. They had a really cool drone show, which is how

I want firework shows to be now. It was so impressive. The drone show all posted on my social media. It was something. They had the logo of the Tropicana. They had the years of the Tropicana. They had a spinning circle with text in the middle. They had all this drone show was like freaking incredible, off the charts, just really really cool. And then it counted down. The drones counted down five, four, three, and then boom, there there went the two towers. And I cried. I cried this

morning when I watched it. I'm not making this up. I cried. And I cried because Andrew and I had sex in one of those rooms looking out the window. The window was open and we were literally in the window having sex. He was bent over right there in the window, and we were laughing because we thought if people look up, they could you know, I won five hundred dollars, my first jackpot ever back in like Andrew and I had only been together a couple years, so

it would be like eighty nine, you know. And oh, I took my me and my mom and Andrew out to dinner, and I bought a beautiful lion brooch at their gift shop that had diamonds in it, and oh, I was. I was, you know, well, the N word rich is what my mom would have called it. I don't know why that was a terrible saying, but but yes I was. You know, so the Tropicana has memories

to me. But more importantly, you know, the Tropicana was put up in nineteen fifty four, eight years before me, and so much of my era is passing, the Tropicana gone. So many of the celebrities that I grew you know, Bruce Willis has dementia and is out of the picture. Now we're losing celebrities every day. Streisands eighty two shares almost eighty, Diana Ross is eighty. You know, so many people that I love are now going to die soon, and so many institutions that I love and things that

I grew up with are just disappearing. And so when I saw the Tropicana making room for this half a billion dollar ballpark, you know, being destroyed. I'm not against progress. Progress is great, you know it is, and I love new things I do. But as you age, you sort of see it slipping away, and you realize that there's less time ahead of you than behind you, and so you want it to matter, You want it to count, and that's why there's such urgency. For instance, when it

comes to climate change. We have less time in front of us that the earth will be survivable than we do behind us. We are on a very limited clock and no one has that urgency. It's like with the election, America is not going to survive another Donald Trump term. It's not. And I worry that so many of us are worn out by the election. Like, how many of you have watched all the interviews Kamala has done recently, the view Howard Stern, which was a great interview. She's

so much like Obama in so many ways. She really is someone you'd want to go to dinner with. I love when she was talking about going to the sphere here in Las Vegas and said, don't go in there high. Well, she said, she didn't say hi, but then Howard said, in other words, don't be high, and she was. She's

like yep, you know. And she's just really genuine. And whether they use my song, Oh, by the way, I just got there's gonna be a benefit in New York October twenty first a play a stage reading about life before Roe v. Wade and it's got huge stars, big stars like Tyne Daily and I could read the text to you it's got big stars, Christine Lottie and all these other stars. And I was just asked by the producer of this benefit if they could sing We're not

going back at the end of the show. So all these big stars, Tyne Daily and Christine Lottie and Deborah Messing and all these stars are going to sing my song. October twenty first, at a benefit in New York. I was I I'm flabber gosted, and I'm deeply honored. They called and said, look, you wrote an incredible song. And whether Kamala picks it up or not, this song speaks to women about women's rights. That's why I know Kamala hasn't heard it. It'd be being played tomorrow if she's

heard it. But I'm so honored by that. But anyway, so and I'm worried that at this stage of my life, I'm finding something I really love to do, write songs and sing them, and that I'm running out of time. And I wish that America felt the urgency that I do about life. Life can be good right now. We don't have to wait five years for life to be good if we make the right choices. I exercise every day I'm a vegan. I'm trying to live longer and

do what's right for the planet. You know, if we make the right choices and they're easy to make, they're not easy to implement though, lifestyle changes of any kind that wire sacrifice, and we've gotten lazy. You know, our lawmakers they wouldn't sacrifice their lives for the United States. The founders did and would again. But our lawmakers wouldn't. You know, if there was a bill that they signed and by signing it it meant they could be killed

and their fortunes taken, they wouldn't sign it. Our founders did. Our parents made huge, actual sacrifices to make sure that we had food, we had what we needed, or at least they tried to get it at the expense of their own bodies, of their own life, of their own happiness. They did these things. Nowadays people don't want to sacrifice anything at all. In fact, they want more. But that's

not how life works. Life could be so great right now for me, Life could be great with a definitive diagnosis, you know, knowing why my land is jumping, and having that diagnosis not be a terrible disease ALS or MS, or whatever, you know, because I want to get on. I want to write more songs. I want I really want to come and see you guys. You don't know how every day I wish that I could find a venue, you know. I mean. Will Durst is doing a show. The man had a stroke and he's doing the Punchline

in San Francisco. You should go see him. He's gonna do sit down comedy. But bravo to Will five years ago. Had a stroke on October seventh, and now he's going back to stage. I loved Will Durst. He was a great guest on my show. I want to be that person. I want to move forward, and I know you do too, and we're stuck in this muck. Trump keeps trying to pull us back. His supporters keep trying. They even say

make America great again. I wrote a song called We're Not going Back because we don't want to go back into that swamp. We want to evolve. But evolution is not easy. It is painful, like birth. Ask a woman, you know, and we are not evolving, We're devolving. They want to go back. That's devout. Devolve is it? Devolution? Is that such a word? Regression? But to de evolve. They want to go backwards. You and I we want to go forward because life can be good. We need

to be able to afford it. Look, if I had the money, or if one of you want to give that, it's a property owner or whatever. I would love to live in the Castro of San Francisco. I just would. I've always loved that area. I'd love to live there. It would be a dream for me to have a town home with a little yard where I could walk to the Presidio or walk down to the Embarcadero or whatever. I know. The downtown is full of crime and stuff.

I'm used to that. I don't care. I want to live where I can hop on a bart and go somewhere, go to the doctors on the bart, where I don't have to have a car. I want to live in San Francisco so badly. And I look at all these condos for sale, and they have this thing that's below market rate. But you have to be a first time buyer. I'm not so I can't afford six hundred, seven hundred, eight hundred thousand dollars for a condo or whatever. I can't And all of my years of being on in

the Bay Area. Not one listener that's had a guest house has ever said, Correll, come and live in my guest house. Come on, I live right in the Bay Area, and you know what, you and Mburg just come and live in our guest house. You could pay me a little bit of rent. And that's that. That's never happened. Ray Taliaferroll got his great place because someone died. A listener died and willed it to him in a way. You know, I don't have any you know, no one's died and left me a fabulous place to live in

the Bay Area. But that's where I'd love to be. I talk about leaving the country. San Francisco and San Jose and the West Coast has been so good to me professionally. I'd love to be there. Life can be good. It can be, but we've had darkness for so long. George Bush was this enormous storm cloud over us. Reagan an enormous storm cloud, Trump a full blown hurricane, and we've had so much regression that every time we try to make strides to go forward, gay rights, women's rights,

civil rights, diversity, equity, inclusion. I just got appointed to the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Panel of Grammy, my third appointment at Grammy. I'm so thrilled, But you know, we used to want to. We were moving forward, and then we just keep getting pulled back and that exhausts us, and so a lot of us quit, we give up. We're like, look, I'm not fighting the battles anymore. I'm not doing it. I'm sick. I can't do it. And I worry that that exhaustion is going to affect Kamala

because we're just so tired. We want to vote tomorrow. We want you know, we want to be done with it. We just we want it over and we want her to win. And we're tired of Trump. We're tired of debates, We're tired of the media. The media has exhausted us, just exhausted us. But we don't have to be exhausted. Life can really be wonderful. Love, family, friends, the beauty of nature, the beauty of your pets, a good meal, the ability to cook it. There's such greatness in humans

and in life. I don't know why we don't fight harder for it. And I think maybe because we don't see it anymore. We don't see that life is actually great and fun and fabulous, and that it's just a joyous gift. We look at life as a burden, something to get through, and that's sad and they've done that

to us. And that's why I hope you're not exhausted, that you go vote for Kamala Harris, you vote Blue all the way down the ticket, and we put an end to this insanity and try to move forward, you know, together. That's what I hope. All Right, I'll be back tomorrow Thursday, God willing, and hurricanes don't come. If you're in Florida, please be safe. If you have family there, please tell them to be safe. I don't want anyone to die, but I know they will, but I don't want them to.

You know, I am Corel. You'll be who you want to be so long as doesn't hurt me, Budy. I'll be back tomorrow, Thursday, the tenth, Where's talks totally. You'll be Halloween pod looking out the Christmas or are you gonna be anything for Halloween? Life is so scary.
