Dr. Ken opens the show by revisiting decades of climate change predictions, questioning why past timelines and forecasts missed the mark and explaining why he remains skeptical of the broader narrative. The conversation shifts to local news, including the quiet closure of the Center for Self-Sufficiency amid federal audit and funding challenges. As he engages the YouTube chat, Dr. Ken pivots to cultural priorities — from a suspicious spam text to headlines about Rihanna’s home being shot at — asking whether we sometimes show more concern for celebrity incidents than violence happening in our own neighborhoods. A wide-ranging first hour blending national debate, local accountability, and cultural reflection.
