Wednesday the 30 of January I'm back step and this happens to be. Jay is in Jennifer v. Is in the Victoria program carousel and is at the controls in our studio in Washington well equipped to deal with whatever things there are developing technically that may have a problem attached to Victoria's line or generous lives he's well equipped to keep things on the up and up so she's equipped Victoria's Secret Jennifer you're equipped to take their kids well 110000000 Americans are threatened right now by the polar vortex which has taken over I think 75 percent of the country is feeling a cold cold cold weather this morning there are life threatening temperatures across the United States and in the Midwest specifically that are impacting all of these Americans extreme cold record breaking temperatures are blasting North Dakota to Missouri and into Ohio after this powerful snowstorm pounded into the region earlier in the week we're hearing temperatures that are almost unheard of 75 degrees below 0 was reported in Grand Forks North Dakota on Tuesday morning so these temperatures are so cold they're saying it's the coldest weather in years and it's putting a lot of people and animals through the Midwest of the United States at risk for hypothermia and frostbite speak it can happen in just minutes in temperatures like this so there are there are places around the country that are losing their heat because the power is going out so you've got people who are stuck inside with lost power they don't have the generators to help keep things going the big concern is for animals that live outside for instance there is a big warning about cats feral cats in North Dakota they're just freezing on the streets because there's just no place for them to go away and out right now 8000 residents are. Are without power in the Twin Cities metro area there it's just it's pretty incredible to see that these numbers with these temperatures are kind of going in combo with each other so really tense times I think for people who are battling all this cold I I'm in Los Angeles so when I hear 75 degrees below 0 I don't even know how to fathom that kind of temperature and that kind of wind chills so it's seems really really dangerous a lot of crews are trying to help restore power and try to get people into shelters so that everybody makes it through this well I just was saying before we are on the air in this hour I have to know from a friend of mine that I work with in Minnesota told me that that the moment the wind chill factor there is 50 below 0 and you go out in that and you can your if you have any more secure on your lips any more secure in your nostrils you know are covered up freeze instantly and you will be able to breathe in that circumstance so with asthma that just freaks me out because it just cold weather as it is activates my asthma and. I can even imagine being in weather like that buckle up your overcoat. And the wind is free so the the essence of all this is that people are on to global warming and all that other stuff I think we've talked about that enough lately there is I remember frankly so you may or may not have memory back to February of 2015 which is when I stopped working on the farm because of what happened in that snowstorm where there are 11 feet of snow that had gathered since the 1st of January we had one storm after another there were $56.00 storms each of them couple of feet and the snow on the level was 11 feet we had 30 foot drifts and we had piles that were 4045 feet of where snow was piled up the cars area that feedlot the shelter area where the cows were outside became so difficult to maneuver in we were getting feed to the cows but they're on their feet because you know they're stepping in the manure and manure freezes almost as it hits the ground and their feet some of them froze to the ground and their bags where the milk was were frostbitten and 8 of them died and harvest that was and that was the end of it for me so I ship the cars down to another farm in Pennsylvania with 3 guys in all the time which if you think about it like you know the summer is over there you know yeah well you don't think that that So but the point about the temperature is that came out of that story we had for 3 days in a row I was and I was in California and my guy Joe sent me a picture each morning of the temperature reading on his truck and it was minus 30 to 3437 and it is can't you don't sustain things like this or that kind of an operation. Without some cash and I just did and whether it was the cause meant too much to me I don't know what I just said. Without giving it any real thought were done and so there are a lot of people who get into those circumstances and you can't really what can you do about Mother Nature you can't do a thing about it this this weather is coming directly from the North Pole more directly than Santa Claus coming from the North Pole as it is coming from the North Pole the jet stream is flowing in such a way that it's pulling it's pushing the storms that are on the East Coast out to sea and then allowing that vacuum Mother Nature aids a vacuum so all of that air that's up there is getting sucked down from Idaho pretty much across and there was quite a bit of snow wondering about Atlanta on Sunday what's the latest on the situation or what they expect to be the weather in Atlanta and situation also people who are driving because they don't want to pay a $1000.00 to fly Delta down to Atlanta for Boston what do the drivers face anybody seen any reports on that the I haven't seen anything about the drivers I do know that they're in sunny conditions in Atlanta and clear so obviously they're going to have to on Sunday yes 60 degrees on $24.00 corners there right now so they'll be Ok that most of this is blowing I learned. It's just about freezing here I am on the farm this morning but tomorrow at this time it will be maybe 15304050 degrees and then it will go up on Friday and it will be warmer on Saturday that's the way the story was so much closer here with the wind chill it's 6 degrees here right now in New Jersey really here we don't know the 1st time it's warmer in Massachusetts that well if you look at the if you look at those the maps that they're weather people have or you can just go to weather channel or to Accu Weather and you can see what it's going to look on my hear I have heard about the you ladies going to be very impressed with this I have my i Phone and I'm clicking on the weather here it is you know. This is this when I say I use Accu Weather on my computer and I have the Weather Channel on my phone in the other channels as tomorrow I just have 18 degrees up to 40 over the weekend and it's the next it's the next 48 hours that we need to get through yeah you know better snow we did rise or e. And yeah that's the next That's And then after that will be Ok we've got we've got some snow yesterday and I really thought that today was just supposed to be a cold day but I'm also looking at my weather channel out and it's supposed to be negative 9 with the wind chill tomorrow morning as we learn just be don't really get here you guys might not see me tomorrow I might just. As kids very lovely try to so that's weather situation football situation I guess we've got that under control pretty much everybody knows the Patriots are going to win and that when I was you Jennifer you have the counter to that knowing right if the Rams win just for an upset yeah because you know I think that the Rams are great I think the Patriots are great but I actually like the Patriots better than the Rams to be I really have it's kind of in the face of my hometown team I hope the Rams when I think it'll be good for l.a. But I will be sad I left on Brady I love grown guy like I'm one of the few people who I'm sure that likes the Patriots so now you can't get me I'm sorry I wish I could tussle with you on this one now but we have the Dodgers face off against the Red Sox Why that's. Ok you want to toss all that old fashioned Brinker fighting words is what I say let's have a fight you're ready for a fight John Bolton and his notes. Unless you tell me he's great and. Well the 5000 troops memo Yeah of course that was on his legal pad Yeah well how did he get from his legal pad into the Twitter sphere as it's what I would like to say what a zoom lens for whom and that much of a zoom it was just you know he just had a you brought his no pad to the podium and one of the reporters zoomed in on a certain crowd and so he took a picture of it and then they blew it up and that's what's caused the big Twitter controversy saying that there was something written on his no pad that said $5000.00 troop deployment to Venezuela so he was asked if it meant whether or not we were planning to send troops to Venezuela or to their neighbors and he said all options are on the table which is his usual round of b.s. . And trust him any further like it's wrong but that brought right around you know level time zone now but here's the thing I think that it's only why didn't know what your options are and in fact I would and I would tell you that any country on earth that we already have options that are already built for every scenario that people can think of at the Pentagon that's their job their job is to think through every scenario so that we're not taken by surprise so I think to say that he's being phony about that I think it's clear I'm not saying he would be here phony No no I didn't I didn't mean that to be the case I think he's just a phony in general but in this circumstance it appears that they are as you have suggested discussing this as an option so what is our interest to me why would we send healing proved deployments to of Colombia to do what I don't how is that what would be. Wouldn't be Colombia that's not what they're talking about Venezuela where the troops going they're not going to land in Venezuela and have to be stationed I have to be just that it's a Colombia that's where the Colombia thing came into it and he had Thank you written on his you know Pad that's where the great so I think there are a couple of things people are probably just trying to to read into what he. Wrote on his notepad I'm far less interested in his scribbles I think the problem in Venezuela is probably is a big one and if we had to get involved a humanitarian crisis would probably dictate us to send a small number of troops to try to provide order to the country because it's getting ready to flip the new president the one that we're recognizing is one quite 0 and why is it in our interest to do this there are a lot of countries that have hasn't John doesn't want to interfere in anything but there are a lot of factions at play here China and Russia are begging us not to do this because they're so deeply tied to it Cuba also so deeply types of the government of Venezuela they're using it for money this is a very very rich and wealthy country that some of the people we don't want to line up with are making a lot of money from so there could be reasons from China from Russia from Cuba that would cause us for some reason to go in there I would say that I don't think that we will certainly I think that we are trying to help give legitimacy to the president that we're recognizing over manure Oh but if the troops go in I would imagine it would be for the far greater scope and picture rather than just what's happening inside of us will there be a lot of discussion and probably argument about this back and forth speculation postulation level but I found it interesting and I knew that it would have and we'd have a little bit of a tussle and so we did now we can think about it a little bit more see where develops Meanwhile let's talk about what's developing in your body more specifically what's developing in your intestine does it need to cleanse you even know what's going on you burp and you've got a lot of gas from both ends maybe that means there are parasites organisms that live off of your body that's where life change t.
