I’m finally through the crazy holidays and now I once again have time to rededicate myself to this podcast. Listen by clicking play above, or click here to download the file and listen later. As always, follow me on Twitter at @jeffscottshow and find me on Facebook at Jeff Scott Show.
With a record-setting cold snap hitting most of the country this week, it’s a good opportunity to point out that global warming is pure bull. Again, don’t let them call it “climate change.” Their theory is based on carbon dioxide acting as a greenhouse gas to heat the atmosphere and cause temperatures to rise. Just two months ago though the Obama administration claimed that public health was being harmed by high temperatures due to global warming. I love the story of the global warming research vessel being trapped in the ice in Antarctica during the summer, requiring a rescue from a Chinese vessel, and then both needing rescue by the United States. If they are actually going to use those idiotic carbon offsets, they’ll have to plant a whole forest to cover all of their offsets.
Global warming is far from the biggest threat to mankind; the supercaldera under Yellowstone National Park is much more dangerous, and could actually wipe out humanity.
Yes, it’s cold. But do NOT do this. Do this instead—it’s really cool.
Avowed socialist Senator Bernie Sanders says that Democrats have the Pope on their side. Sadly, he’s right.
Obama criticized Republicans for taking the holidays off…while he was on a two-week vacation in Hawaii. The sad part is that he’ll likely get away with his hypocrisy.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker tells tea partiers to focus on beating Democrats rather than fellow Republicans. This is true, unless those Republicans are big-government, big-spending, Democrat-lite establishment type guys. Then we have to beat the Republicans too.
One Republican we need to beat is Rep. Peter King, who says that the NSA is “doing exactly what it’s supposed to be doing” and that Sen. Rand Paul “doesn’t deserve to be in the United States Senate.” King has gone full-on police statist.
The NSA won’t say whether or not they spy on members of Congress. Actually, I’d probably support that mission.
Iraq may be falling apart, and always-eager-for-war Senators Lindsay Graham and John McCain seem to be ready to send American troops back.
With pot legalization being so popular in Colorado that it is leading to shortages at stores, the social conservatives are flailing about trying to impose their morality on America. Fortunately for lovers of freedom, they’re losing. The tide is turning against government intervention on pot, marriage, and abortion. Besides, even dolphins get high.
History may repeat itself, but is 2014 a lot like 1914? One historian says so.
A former administration official admits that “maybe” Obama isn’t good at governing. “Maybe?”
The FBI no longer considers law enforcement their primary mission; it is now national security.
A Democrat staffer in Colorado was fired for hanging out with a Republican staffer. But I thought Democrats were the tolerant ones?
States are turning against electric cars because gas tax revenues are dropping. Money is more important to politicians than environmentalism.
A candidate for Senate in Nebraska wants to move the nation’s capital to Nebraska, saying that DC is “sick” and “dysfunctional.” If I was a Nebraska voter, he just lost my vote.
2013 set a new record for gun sales across the country.
It is now legal to buy a car in Cuba, but nobody can afford one under the government monopoly.
Another brilliant column by Thomas Sowell, this one on the lie behind the left’s “trickle down” message.
Three out of four illegal immigrants can’t pass a written test to get a driver’s license in Nevada. Clearly the test is racist.
What does your favorite adult beverage say about your politics? Results for me are mixed, but then so are my politics.
Yesterday was the most depressing day of the year. Look at the bright side—it’s all uphill from here!
What happens when you break into an MMA fighter’s home? You get your ass kicked, possibly to death.
San Antonio, Texas has the nation’s first bookless government library.
A new study has figured out that dogs like to align themselves with the Earth’s magnetic field while pooping.
A new study shows that moms who drink wine while pregnant have better behaved kids. Wine really may be the healthiest thing in the world.
A man ate nothing but McDonald’s for 90 days and lost weight. It’s all in what you eat.
A Seattle woman consumed only food and drinks from Starbucks for an entire year. I have to say, I expected her to be fat.
Rock star Morrissey (who?) says that he sees no difference between eating meat and pedophilia. No, there’s a huge difference. Also, who is this guy?
Oops: USA Hockey sent a 67-year-old Vancouver man a text message saying that he would be on the Olympic team.
A drug dealer under house arrest is begging to be thrown in jail just so he can get away from his nagging wife. This could never happen in America; the drug dealer wouldn’t have a wife here.
Somebody taped firecrackers to his lips and then lit them. I’m telling you, Darwin is working in reverse now. Idiocracy is upon us.
This week’s Sign of the Decline of Western Civilization: More than half of the female Marines can’t meet the physical fitness requirements. Loosening requirements in order to achieve “diversity” will lead to a weaker Corps.
