MICHAEL BROWN IS INVADING KOA Permanently at 9am on November 10th, as Ross moves to 6a-9a, but temporarily today at 2:30 as I welcome the crotchety old man to the station properly.

A WYOMING MOM LOOKING FOR ANSWERS IS ACCUSED OF STALKING And now she's won in cases brought by the School Board members who retaliated against her. I've got Goldwater Institute's Parker Jackson on at 12:30 to talk about the case and how Wyoming needs to do a better job protecting citizens from retaliation.

Fox 31's Dave Fraser joins for Weather Wednesday, why are their car washes on top of car washes, and a new study says gut health is the key to a healthy lifespan.

Dad joke of the day, word of the day, Mandy's trivia question of the day & jeopardy! It's OF THE DAY! Today's opponent: Zach Segars.

WHAT'S IN YOUR GUT? Hippocrates way back in 400 BCE taught that all health begins in the gut, and we seem to be having a full circle moment as science is studying the connection between gut health and overall wellness. Today at 2:30 I've got Alex Martinez from Intrinsic Medicine on to talk about this study which showed that a healthy gut microbiome was the key to a healthy long life. His company Intrinsic Medicine is working with human milk to create a synthetic version that can boost heath and hopefully help with diseases like Parkinsons. Find out more here. He joins me at 2:30 to discuss.

CAR WASHES ARE SPROUTING LIKE WEEDS And the wonderful lady we just met because of the Gleam Haunted Car Wash wants to sound the alarm on car washes popping up everywhere. I had this story about why so many seem to be popping up and it has nothing to do with clean cars and everything to do with tax breaks for ultra wealthy people. But real people who are in the business to make a living are in the cross hairs and Emilie Baratta pops back in to talk about it at 1.

WEATHER WEDNESDAY AT 12:30 As Fox 31's Dave Fraser pops back in to talk cold and maybe snow at some point soon.

Professor Eric Kaufmann joins me to talk about the drop in trans identification among young people, Gavin Newsom cosplays poor, and who I like in three school board races.

TRANS ID SEEMS TO BE DROPPING And it's dropping most in young people, thank God. Professor Eric Kaufmann, who I caught up with this past weekend for an interview, says it is and brings the data to back it up. Read the first story in Unherd here, and then check out his Substack that refutes all the nerdy statistical criticisms here. Follow him on X here. And he's at the University of Buckingham, not Birmingham as I saw at the end of the interview.

Another wildfire protection system, we need catastrophic health insurance again, and what is Trump even doing in Venezuela?

ANOTHER WAY TO PROTECT YOUR HOME FROM WILDFIRES I was talking about a story on a new wildfire protection system for homes when I got an email from a guy named Randy Lang with waveGUARD™ Corporation about HIS fire protection system for homes. I had no idea this sort of stuff even existed so I figured I'd have Randy on today at 1 to talk about it. Find out more by clicking here.

WE NEED TO LEGALIZE CATASTROPHIC HEALTH INSURANCE PLANS FOR EVERYONE If we could do this ONE THING your health insurance life would be so much better and cheaper than it is now. Catastrophic health plans, those that don't kick in until you hit a pretty high deductible, are available, but only to people under 30 who show financial hardship. That's the law for Obamacare and in this column my pal Steve Moore explains that it needs to be available for EVERYONE who wants to buy it. Y'all, if you could buy this plan and then do a Direct Primary Care plan your lif would change. You'd have a better quality of healthcare with the comfort of knowing big stuff is covered. Why won't Democrats let this happen? Because they are trying to condition us for single payer where everything is "free". Steve joins me at 12:30 to discuss.

How qualified immunity changes for police have changed law and order, it's a free for all Friday, and an apology from the Johnstown Breeze.

WE PUT THE COPS ON THE HOOK And it is affecting how policing is done and not in a good way. DA Michael Allen of the 4th Judicial District was listening the other day when we talked about this study by the Common Sense Institute about how we've stopped putting criminals in jail and crime has gone up. He reached out to remind me that the changes made to qualified immunity for cops has also had negative pressure on policing, so we're going to check in with him about that today at 2:30.
