| 0:00.0 | this is the Tom Harbin program. Wow, there is a lot going on. Welcome to the program today. |
| 0:20.9 | This is remarkable and it's going to get to 103 this week here in Portland. So, climate |
| 0:27.0 | change is on the calendar. The IPCC is calling a code red. But first there are three things that in |
| 0:33.1 | particular that I want to get to and a couple of things that are just incidental to the day. For |
| 0:37.6 | example, today was the anniversary of the U.S. dropping its second nuclear bomb. This one on |
| 0:44.0 | Nagasaki a total of 700,000 between Hiroshima and Nagasaki people were killed. That was in 1945 |
| 0:51.1 | and there's a fascinating piece over at BBC. In fact, it's titled the forgotten |
| 0:59.2 | mine, the built the atomic bomb and not only were we mining uranium here in the United States, |
| 1:06.6 | but back in the 40s. We were importing very, very high-quality yellow cake uranium from Nigeria. |
| 1:13.2 | That, by the way, I mean, this is the same stuff. Remember when Joe Wilson came out and said Dick |
| 1:17.8 | Cheney was lying about Saddam Hussein importing yellow cake from Nigeria? Well, that was the stuff |

| 1:34.9 | started a new feature over at HarbinReport.com, which is basically a discussion thread where you can |
| 1:40.0 | do a deep dive into a particular topic, if you'd like. And you just click on our daily discussion |
| 1:46.8 | threads at the top and you'll see it. And my question today, and I throw this out to you as well, |
| 1:52.6 | Rand Paul is trying to start an anti-mask movement. He's even talking about lawsuits and how, |
| 2:01.4 | you know, not wearing a mask is a right and asking people to wear a mask is tyranny and all this |
| 2:07.6 | kind of stuff. You know, he's promoting his libertarian view of society that we should be a we |
| 2:13.2 | should be a me society instead of a we society. It's bizarre. It's twisted. It's narcissistic. It |
| 2:19.2 | reflects iron Rand and the and the child murderer that she based the heroes of her novels on. You |
| 2:25.4 | know, Mr. Hickman. And sadly, it has a lot of followers. The question that I asked in our daily |
