Speaker 5: out now.
Speaker 6: I thought they were getting VIP tickets to watching that
Speaker 6: right here.
Speaker 5: I mean whatever, Nope, I mean, can you imagine them?
Speaker 5: They're out of control? Theyir thirty drunk its twelve oh nine. Well,
Speaker 5: you know you. I'm just saying. I got a lot
Speaker 5: of stuff on the blog today, and a lot, a lot,
Speaker 5: a lot, a lot a lot of stuff on the
Speaker 5: blog about the vile nonsense that is continuing to swirl
Speaker 5: around the killer of Charlie Kirk. And we're going to
Speaker 5: get into that in a little bit. The first, I
Speaker 5: want to talk about last night's event that I was
Speaker 5: a co moderator for. I was invited by the just
Speaker 5: phenomenal group of people who have created an organization called
Speaker 5: Douglas County Citizenry, and though it is a right of
Speaker 5: center organization, they welcome all and last night we did
Speaker 5: a forum with the eight school board candidates that are
Speaker 5: running in Douglas County. We have two slates of school
Speaker 5: board candidates running together and the slate emerged gosh years
Speaker 5: ago I mean they did slates back in you know,
Speaker 5: when I was in Louisville, because the Teachers' Union, generally speaking,
Speaker 5: would hand pick their candidates, and then the teachers Union
Speaker 5: would spend a bunch of money to support those four
Speaker 5: candidates all at one time. They would put them all
Speaker 5: on the same mailer, they'd put them all on the
Speaker 5: same billboard, and they would do that. Now now conservatives
Speaker 5: have recognized that it's impossible to fundraise enough as an
Speaker 5: individual candidate, so they have created slates as well. So
Speaker 5: in Douglas County, we have a slate of conservative leaning candidates,
Speaker 5: and we have a slate of people who excuse me,
Speaker 5: who though the Teachers' Union has endorsed them. Last night,
Speaker 5: we asked specifically about things like the collective Bargaining Agreement
Speaker 5: and things of that nature, and some of them actually said,
Speaker 5: I have not committed in any way, shape or form
Speaker 5: to the collective Bargaining Agreement. And the only reason I
Speaker 5: bring that up is, and I'm bringing this up at all,
Speaker 5: was that the event was wonderful. It was respectful, We
Speaker 5: heard different opinions from the candidates. Nobody was rude, no
Speaker 5: one and was disparaging towards their opponent. We learned a lot,
Speaker 5: We asked a bunch of questions. We had audience that
Speaker 5: was respectful as well. I mean, they supported their candidates,
Speaker 5: but they didn't get out of control, and nobody was
Speaker 5: rude from the audience, and it was just it was great.
Speaker 5: It was really, really great. I liked it. I learned
Speaker 5: a lot. It's going to be put online. It will
Speaker 5: be put online at some point, so we'll let you
Speaker 5: know when it is up. I'll share it on the blog.
Speaker 5: So if you live in Douglas County, you can do
Speaker 5: the same. But the reason I bring it up on
Speaker 5: this show when most of you don't live in Douglas County,
Speaker 5: is that I would love for other people, other civic
Speaker 5: minded people, to start to use this model of informed debate,
Speaker 5: of civic conversation, and let's just get that going at
Speaker 5: the grassroots, because we've lost control at the national level,
Speaker 5: right our national politicians. And you know, I am not
Speaker 5: going to both sides what happened to Charlie Kirk, Because
Speaker 5: as much as the left has tried to tell me
Speaker 5: it's both sides in this case, the political violence lately
Speaker 5: has been all from the left and it's been dramatic
Speaker 5: and it has been murderous, and it's not the same
Speaker 5: as saying things that people disagree with, right, I mean,
Speaker 5: it just isn't. But I'd love for us to at
Speaker 5: the grassroots level, at the local level, create events where
Speaker 5: I mean dep floor and I we spent like an
Speaker 5: hour and a half on the phone on Saturday just
Speaker 5: trying to craft questions that were open ended so we
Speaker 5: could just ask the candidates like, here's the question, open
Speaker 5: ended question, just answer the question in however you want.
Speaker 5: We didn't want to create leading questions. We didn't want
Speaker 5: to create questions that put anybody on their back feet.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 5: We tried really hard to really make this a chance
Speaker 5: for people to just hear from the candidates themselves what
Speaker 5: they thought, what their vision was, and I think it
Speaker 5: was a very successful event. So I would urge you to,
Speaker 5: first of all, if you are in a different district,
Speaker 5: if you're not in Douglas County, if you're in jeff Co.
Speaker 5: And you're in Denver, or you're in any of these
Speaker 5: other counties, maybe follow Douglas County Citizen read four ideas
Speaker 5: on how to make this happen. If you do join
Speaker 5: the private group and then cause problems, we will kick
Speaker 5: you out. It is a private group on Facebook, but
Speaker 5: we do have a public page as well. And the
Speaker 5: whole point of this is to create dialogue and create
Speaker 5: real dialogue where people can learn about things. So it
Speaker 5: is going to hopefully you and I and real people
Speaker 5: in our community can change the dialogue and change the narrative. Mandy,
Speaker 5: why would you allow teachers union backed liberals. They deserve
Speaker 5: nothing because they're running for office, because they have put
Speaker 5: their hat in the ring. And some of them, by
Speaker 5: the way, have really strong concerns and really strong ideas.
Speaker 5: And I you know, after the debate last night, it
Speaker 5: wasn't really a debate is more of a forum. And
Speaker 5: after the forum last night, I thought to myself, you know,
Speaker 5: I sure hope that the people up on that stage
Speaker 5: that don't win, whoever it is, on either side, I
Speaker 5: hope that they don't give up trying to bring their
Speaker 5: ideas to the board. And I would hope that the
Speaker 5: new board members would welcome those ideas even if they
Speaker 5: aren't their ideas right, because there were some good ideas
Speaker 5: laid out last night. So I want to hear from
Speaker 5: everybody and in all honesty, you guys, When I have
Speaker 5: candidates on the show that I disagree with, and I
Speaker 5: may push back a little bit, but that's not why
Speaker 5: I have a candidate for office on this program. It's
Speaker 5: not so you can hear me argue with them. My
Speaker 5: goal in having a candidate on the show, whether I
Speaker 5: agree with them or disagree with them, is to ask
Speaker 5: them questions so that you, the listener, can hear them
Speaker 5: answer and you can hear straight from the horse's mouth
Speaker 5: without a filter, without some kind of intermediary. You can
Speaker 5: hear straight from the horse's mouth and you can make
Speaker 5: up your own mind. And sometimes people are like, you
Speaker 5: should have pushed them. No, they're a candidate for office.
Speaker 5: I don't need to push them. You heard what they said.
Speaker 5: It evoked a reaction. So therefore you can build your
Speaker 5: vote on whether or not you liked that or you
Speaker 5: did not like that. So when we're talking about candidates
Speaker 5: for office, I want people to have the opportunity to
Speaker 5: speak and for you guys, to use your own brains
Speaker 5: to figure out whether or not they have earned your vote.
Speaker 5: It's really that simple. Now, I saw the list. I
Speaker 5: saw the list for Republican candidates for governor that have
Speaker 5: already announced. Guys, there's a zero percent chance I'm going
Speaker 5: to have all of those people on the show. Zero
Speaker 5: There's so many people on this list, and many of
Speaker 5: them will drop out. They'll never really form a real candidacy.
Speaker 5: They just put their name in because they, you know,
Speaker 5: they got a momentary thought where they thought, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna and they have no
Speaker 5: infrastructure and they have no plan, and they have enough.
Speaker 5: But there are numerous people on this list that are
Speaker 5: going to be competitive and are going to be candidates.
Speaker 5: But there are people that I probably won't have on
Speaker 5: the show because you know, I'm just going to use
Speaker 5: Greg Lopez as an example. I like Greg. I think
Speaker 5: he's a nice guy. Greg is never going to win
Speaker 5: the governor's race. It's not going to happen. He has tried,
Speaker 5: He has tried multiple times to win multiple offices. For
Speaker 5: whatever reason, people are not going to vote for Greg Lopez.
Speaker 5: And I know Greg, and I can tell you exactly
Speaker 5: what his positions are on everything. So yeah, I'm going
Speaker 5: to be a little choosy about that stuff, but I
Speaker 5: do I try to give the candidates both candidates. I
Speaker 5: like candidates. I disagree with the opportunity to make their
Speaker 5: case to you because I trust the audience that you
Speaker 5: guys are not stupid. That's the reality, Mandy. Did you
Speaker 5: see the trash ABC put out about how romantic the
Speaker 5: text messages were from the Kirk killer to his roommate
Speaker 5: lover about how and why he killed Kirk? Truly unbelievable
Speaker 5: garbage from ABC News, fake news, despicable, and my friends,
Speaker 5: this brings me back to a large chunk of the
Speaker 5: blog today. I am trying to rise above and I
Speaker 5: don't mean rise above the murder of Charlie Kirk, because
Speaker 5: that I don't know if I'm going to get over
Speaker 5: that anytime soon, if ever. What I'm trying to rise
Speaker 5: above is my frustration that people on the left not
Speaker 5: only have not dialed down the rhetoric, they are amping
Speaker 5: it up, even right here in Colorado. And I gathered
Speaker 5: up a few examples because here's the thing. You know,
Speaker 5: I've gone through different cycles in my show. It's like,
Speaker 5: do I amplify this because it's so horrible, and then
Speaker 5: I'm just giving, you know, more publicity to someone horrible
Speaker 5: who said something awful. But the reality is this our
Speaker 5: silence has been mistaken as for approval.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 5: I saw a girl last night on social media and
Speaker 5: this I can't say girl. She was a woman, She
Speaker 5: was a woman maybe late twenties, early thirties, and she's
Speaker 5: talking to the camera and she said, what is it
Speaker 5: about this Charlie Kirk assassination that has been such a
Speaker 5: big deal. She's like, all of a sudden, people on
Speaker 5: social media who never said anything about politics are saying things,
Speaker 5: what is it? Why this thing? And she was genuinely confused,
Speaker 5: like really had no idea why people were so upset,
Speaker 5: and I just thought, I can't. I can't. I'm not
Speaker 5: ready to rise above yet. I'm ready to fight back.
Speaker 5: I'm ready to gently and politely, because that's who I am,
Speaker 5: shut down the people that I know and that I
Speaker 5: see in my life who are posting things that are,
Speaker 5: in my mind a personal attack. And that's how this
Speaker 5: feels for me. If you're gonna tell me what a
Speaker 5: bad guy Charlie Kirk was, you are telling me that
Speaker 5: I am a bad person as well, because I believe
Speaker 5: a lot of the same things he believed. Not everything.
Speaker 5: We didn't have the exact same lockstep views on everything,
Speaker 5: but you know what, I agreed with a lot of it.
Speaker 5: So when people say Charlie Kirk didn't deserve to die,
Speaker 5: but after that point, after that, but you're talking about me,
Speaker 5: and you're talking about me, what if I died, you
Speaker 5: would be like, oh, she didn't deserve to die. But
Speaker 5: it's all it's deeply personal. And the people on the
Speaker 5: left that are celebrating, they don't understand that. What's been
Speaker 5: really heartening is over the last twenty four hours, I
Speaker 5: have seen so many videos, so many videos from not
Speaker 5: just in the United States, people around the world who
Speaker 5: are taking to the streets over the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 5: What they have unleashed a movement and they're not ready
Speaker 5: for it. They really aren't, Mandy. Have you seen Kyle
Speaker 5: Clark and nine News post on Facebook? The comments of
Speaker 5: their followers is something truly pathetic and sick, and Kyle
Speaker 5: acts as if he isn't part of the problem. Hey,
Speaker 5: you know what, let's talk about nine News for just
Speaker 5: a moment. Nine News decided and I think probably tomorrow
Speaker 5: I will send an email to the editor of the
Speaker 5: program on nine News that made the decision to air
Speaker 5: a story about a black pastor in Virginia who has
Speaker 5: gone on a hate field rant. Oh geez, I linked
Speaker 5: to the wrong thing. Did I do this back?
Speaker 10: Oh?
Speaker 8: I did?
Speaker 5: No, I did not do that. I have to fix this.
Speaker 5: I linked to the wrong thing. So there was a
Speaker 5: black pastor in Alexandria, Virginia, right who has gone viral. Yep,
Speaker 5: they've gone viral because he is can in Charlie Kirk
Speaker 5: from the pulpit. Now, why in the world would nine News, Hey,
Speaker 5: ay Rod, didn't nine News move their offices to Virginia
Speaker 5: that he says? No sore? Still are you sure there's
Speaker 5: still based here? I mean I recently drove by their
Speaker 5: big building downtown and it still had nine News on
Speaker 5: the side. So I mean, I'm assuming they're still here
Speaker 5: in Colorado. But yet they chose, out of every story
Speaker 5: that has occurred, out of every ramp that has taken place,
Speaker 5: out of everyone who's commented on the Charlie Kirk story,
Speaker 5: they chose a black pastor who condemned Charlie Kirk from
Speaker 5: his pulpit as the story to amplify. So is it
Speaker 5: any wonder? Is it any wonder at all that their
Speaker 5: followers would you know, take to their Facebook page to
Speaker 5: also dance on the grave of Charlie Kirk. And here's
Speaker 5: the thing, you, guys, if you are in any way,
Speaker 5: shape or form excusing or celebrating, or in any way
Speaker 5: commenting on what a horrible person Charlie Kirk was, you
Speaker 5: are justifying political murder. Now, you can try and convince
Speaker 5: yourself that it isn't. But what's happening on the left,
Speaker 5: what's happening, with incredible clarity, is that the cognitive dissonance
Speaker 5: on the left of people on the left who have
Speaker 5: always assumed that their party was the party of moral
Speaker 5: superiority are being faced with the fact that they are
Speaker 5: not the good guys and that their party is the
Speaker 5: party of death, and they can't handle it. They can't
Speaker 5: handle it. So anything that would force them to come
Speaker 5: to a reckoning with the rock that exists in their
Speaker 5: party that led a young man to murder someone in
Speaker 5: front of his wife and child and two thousand college students,
Speaker 5: it's too much for them. So instead they'll go to
Speaker 5: nine News's Facebook page and write nasty things about a
Speaker 5: guy who's dead and about children who don't have a father.
Speaker 5: Doesn't really seem like moral superior to me. But hey,
Speaker 5: nine News, you do you? When we get back, Fox
Speaker 5: thirty one's chief meteorologist Dave Fraser joins us, we're going
Speaker 5: to pepper him with questions about when we are going
Speaker 5: to get the first snowfall in Denver, the man who
Speaker 5: controls the weather here in the Denver Metro. No, I'm kidding,
Speaker 5: I'm kidding, Dave Fraser, Hi, buddy, welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hey there, I'm glad to be with you on this Wednesday.
Speaker 3: I can't believe you're making a rod wait for burles
Speaker 3: while we talk weather.
Speaker 5: Well we did at the end of the show, so
Speaker 5: you know, we'll start with you and then we'll end
Speaker 5: with you know, beautiful women doing Halloween burlesque here in
Speaker 5: the studio. So we got a lot on our plate.
Speaker 5: I already have two standard questions that we have to
Speaker 5: ask every year at this time. First of all, Dave Frasier,
Speaker 5: when are you blowing out your sprinklers?
Speaker 3: Not yet?
Speaker 7: Now yet?
Speaker 3: My lawn looks fantastic, as do a lot of lawns
Speaker 3: that I see driving up.
Speaker 7: And down the front range, especially those that.
Speaker 3: Had benefited from rain. We had some decent showers last night,
Speaker 3: so I always pay attention to the forecast lows, and
Speaker 3: when I start to see those lows being a little
Speaker 3: more consistent and closer to the freezing mark, I sometimes
Speaker 3: will just drain the external.
Speaker 7: Pipe so that that doesn't freeze.
Speaker 3: And crack, which is an easy thing to do, but
Speaker 3: may not blow them all out just yet. I'll wait
Speaker 3: until I see something it's going to be a little
Speaker 3: more permanent. Remember, the sprinklers are way down. The lines
Speaker 3: are in the ground, so they're protected by the warm
Speaker 3: temperatures in the ground. It takes a while for cold
Speaker 3: to penetrate. But it's that external pipe that I'll keep
Speaker 3: an eye out. If I see a thirty two, thirty three,
Speaker 3: thirty four, I'll probably blow it out and maybe turn
Speaker 3: them back on, because you know how we can ebb
Speaker 3: and flow in September and October, going from freezing nights
Speaker 3: to very warm stretches at times.
Speaker 5: So now let's ask question number two, which almost goes
Speaker 5: with question number one, but not really, Dave, when will
Speaker 5: the metro be getting our first measurable snowfall?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we get these kind of nips of fall in
Speaker 3: the morning.
Speaker 5: Like this morning, lovely this morning.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're going to.
Speaker 2: Have more of that by the way.
Speaker 3: Moving forward, we'll have a few showers around tonight. Not
Speaker 3: a lot going on, but there will be some showers,
Speaker 3: and then we kind of enter a dry period. We'll
Speaker 3: have overnight lows right around forty eight to fifty, afternoon
Speaker 3: temperatures close to eighty degrees, which is about average, a
Speaker 3: couple of degrees above average. We've got a nice stretch
Speaker 3: of weather coming for the next seven to ten days.
Speaker 3: Really going to feel like fall and warm temperatures at
Speaker 3: this time of the year. Seventy eight seventy nine, eighty degrees,
Speaker 3: like a warm blanket. It's not really heap by any means.
Speaker 3: You know, the question always comes up at the seventy.
Speaker 7: Year we start to look at the long range models.
Speaker 3: You know, Denver's average first snowfall measurable, which is a
Speaker 3: tenth of an inch or more, is around the eighteenth
Speaker 3: of October. We're not obviously there yet. Last year we
Speaker 3: waited till November fifth before we got that first snowfall.
Speaker 3: And then back in twenty twenty one we had the
Speaker 3: latest first snowfall, which was December tenth. I think everybody
Speaker 3: remembers that one was like where's the snow?
Speaker 7: But I will tell you, Mandy, looking at some of
Speaker 7: the computer models and some.
Speaker 3: Of the prognostications of what might be coming. We've got
Speaker 3: warm Pacific waters to the west, We've got colder waters
Speaker 3: to the east, and what that does is kind of
Speaker 3: open up Canada to and the Arctic to kind of
Speaker 3: push cold air down our way.
Speaker 7: So we're thinking as we.
Speaker 3: Head into the winter that we may be Last year
Speaker 3: we kind of ebbed and flow with snow. We came
Speaker 3: up about eight to nine inches shy of the normal,
Speaker 3: which is fifty six for Denver, and we had bouts
Speaker 3: of snow, and then we had periods where it didn't snow.
Speaker 11: I think this year is going.
Speaker 7: To be a little more normal, and I do think
Speaker 7: we're going to.
Speaker 3: Get bouts of cold air that clipped northeast Colorado. Whether
Speaker 3: or not it backs into Denver, we'll see, but certainly
Speaker 3: the northeast plains.
Speaker 12: And I think once that.
Speaker 3: Cold air breaks free, because you've opened up the gates
Speaker 3: to the Arctic, it may stick around for long periods
Speaker 3: of time. So maybe, you know, November, Thanksgiving to Christmas
Speaker 3: and everything could be a cold period for us. So
Speaker 3: I'm expecting ebbs and flows of cold blasts and maybe
Speaker 3: an average season of snowfall, which would mean the heaviest
Speaker 3: snow would come in.
Speaker 7: Like March, you know, February, March, and April.
Speaker 3: To get us to that fifty sixth.
Speaker 5: Well, look to me at the radar as I was
Speaker 5: checking the radar as one of the storms was going
Speaker 5: through in the last few days. Looks like the mountains
Speaker 5: have been getting a little bit of snow. What kind
Speaker 5: of the snowfall are they getting up there? I mean,
Speaker 5: are we talking, you know, half an inch or a
Speaker 5: inch or what are we looking at there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was on the air last night during our
Speaker 3: nine to ten and I could see on our radar
Speaker 3: colors the snow is blue and it was literally you
Speaker 3: could see it on radar, was clipping the cond of Divie.
Speaker 3: So I asked one of our producers to go ahead
Speaker 3: and pull some cameras up near the Eisenhower Tunnel and
Speaker 3: we found it and it was on the grass and
Speaker 3: you're right, it was about a half an inch maybe
Speaker 3: a little more. It did not stick to the roads.
Speaker 3: Roads were just wet.
Speaker 7: Obviously we haven't gotten that.
Speaker 3: Cold blash yet, but yeah, mountains have seen several battles
Speaker 3: of a sprinkling or a smattering of snow, and that's
Speaker 3: going to continue. They'll get a little bit of that
Speaker 3: tonight as we get some rain showers here, they'll get
Speaker 3: a rain snow mixed, or maybe a little bit of snow.
Speaker 3: I think Trail Ridge Road was closed this morning because
Speaker 3: they had some icy conditions, so the moisture up there
Speaker 3: kind of froze for a little bit. I don't know
Speaker 3: if they've reopened, but that's typical for the time of
Speaker 3: the year where they'll start to get a little bit
Speaker 3: of that, and whether or not it sticks on the roads,
Speaker 3: probably not. We got to wait a little bit for
Speaker 3: the gold.
Speaker 5: All right, I've got this question from our text line.
Speaker 5: Please ask Dave about the ever increasing Denver temperature records
Speaker 5: as it relates to the perpetual move east of official
Speaker 5: reporting sites, originally near the Platte River, then Stapleton Airport location,
Speaker 5: and now even further into the high desert surrounding DIA.
Speaker 5: Also the impact of an ever more sprawling metro area
Speaker 5: of more asphalt and fewer trees. Thank you. So let's
Speaker 5: take the first question first, because those are two very
Speaker 5: different questions in my view, and the first question, I
Speaker 5: mean how valid are those concerns because we all know,
Speaker 5: like I live in Douglas County, Dave, and when I
Speaker 5: look at the weather, like we were going to Golden
Speaker 5: on Sunday to see a play. I check the weather
Speaker 5: in Golden. It's like a completely different state, right than
Speaker 5: my weather in Parker. So it feels like that's really significant,
Speaker 5: and maybe there should be an asterisk on some of these,
Speaker 5: like hottest temperatures. Ever since we moved out to DIA.
Speaker 3: There is on the National Weather Service website, and I
Speaker 3: have brought this question up many times, and we get
Speaker 3: this question a lot. Denver's official recording in its record
Speaker 3: keeping since the late eighteen hundreds, that site has moved
Speaker 3: four times twice downtown, once out at Stapleton and then
Speaker 3: finally in the nineties out to Denver International. The temperatures
Speaker 3: were measured at Denver International when they moved the stick.
Speaker 3: The snow recordings lagged a little behobbling behind before it
Speaker 3: went out there, and there is an image that shows
Speaker 3: that the historical amounts of snow in a season is
Speaker 3: higher over the Denver metro area points west and south
Speaker 3: than it is as you migrate out to the airport
Speaker 3: and you can see it. And so they kind of
Speaker 3: mapped out the differences between.
Speaker 7: The sites downtown Denver, the.
Speaker 3: Stapleton area, which is just a little further east and north,
Speaker 3: and then of course out at THEA and you can
Speaker 3: see the progression that as you go to the north
Speaker 3: and east, the snow totals are lower. And that would
Speaker 3: also go into the part of the question about the temperatures.
Speaker 3: Obviously Denver's footprint has sprawled, and that impact of the
Speaker 3: heat island as we call it, the concrete, the buildings,
Speaker 3: the expansion of the roadways and everything plays into a
Speaker 3: warmer environment.
Speaker 7: So the question is valid, and I really don't have
Speaker 7: an answer to. You know, how we compare records. We
Speaker 7: argue amongst ourselves, as Meeta dolosers all the time. You know,
Speaker 7: we hit a record.
Speaker 3: High, what record did we break?
Speaker 7: Well, we broke a record from the eighteen hundreds, Well,
Speaker 7: how do we compare that when the censor for the
Speaker 7: eighteen hundreds was so many miles to the west. So
Speaker 7: it's a challenge and I always tell people it's just
Speaker 7: it's just a barometer, It's just a comparison, right, It's
Speaker 7: not a perfect record because it moved four times. But
Speaker 7: it's a comparison to say, today was a record high day,
Speaker 7: today was a record cold day, so there was a
Speaker 7: record snowfall amount. It's a comparison to kind of put
Speaker 7: the event in perspective, albeit not maybe exactly scientific, and
Speaker 7: think about it.
Speaker 3: We will look at temperatures now, Mandy, in tenths of
Speaker 3: a degree, right, there's some rounding going on when.
Speaker 7: It comes to whether or not we're at an average
Speaker 7: or not.
Speaker 3: Right now, we're four tenths of.
Speaker 7: An inch behind for the average for the months of September.
Speaker 3: They weren't taking temperatures in the eighteen hundreds and early
Speaker 3: nineteen hundreds and tenths of a degree.
Speaker 5: Well, I mean there was like a guy walking outside
Speaker 5: putting his finger up and going, yep, it feels like
Speaker 5: thirty two to me.
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, exactly exactly. So listen, take it,
Speaker 7: take it as a comparison.
Speaker 3: But don't take it as a hard line.
Speaker 13: Yeah.
Speaker 7: No, this is the hottest we've ever.
Speaker 5: Bet right, Okay, So I just want to continue. I
Speaker 5: need you to continue to order up more weather like
Speaker 5: today for the next you know, for the next couple
Speaker 5: of months. Would be great if you could just whip
Speaker 5: that up in your little cauldron, your little weatherman cauldron,
Speaker 5: and make it happen. I sure what appreciated, Dave.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am with you, guys, both you and a Rod.
Speaker 3: I'm loving the morning lows in the forties.
Speaker 5: I love the.
Speaker 3: Afternoon seventy five to eighty. I love the sunny skies.
Speaker 3: But a little bit of rain has been helpful.
Speaker 7: We'll get a little bit of that today.
Speaker 12: And if we do take that.
Speaker 3: Turn and we start to get the blast of cold
Speaker 3: and the snow is not far behind, I'm okay with
Speaker 3: that too. I love all four seasons, and that's why.
Speaker 6: I love living in Colorado.
Speaker 5: One last point for you. It's not really a question,
Speaker 5: just a request. Can you please ask Dave to include
Speaker 5: you Ray in his weather forecast. We really don't know
Speaker 5: what the weather's going to be. The apps are always
Speaker 5: wrong saying it's sunny when it's raining, snowing when it's clear.
Speaker 5: So you Ray is asking for help, Dave, if you
Speaker 5: could just throw that in.
Speaker 14: Yeah, we have on our map.
Speaker 3: Tell you right, we don't have you Ray.
Speaker 7: We get that from viewers all the time.
Speaker 3: Everybody wants their town on. We try and pick towns
Speaker 3: that have sensors that we can rely on, right and
Speaker 3: that have that we have spatial recognition, if you will.
Speaker 7: We have towns spaced out enough.
Speaker 3: On our maps that you can kind of get a
Speaker 3: perspective of what things are going to be like. But
Speaker 3: we get requests all the time to add certain towns,
Speaker 3: and sometimes that town just doesn't have a sensor that
Speaker 3: we can use. And other areas they're too crowded.
Speaker 8: I've got a group of cities that.
Speaker 3: Are on top of each other, and then you've got
Speaker 3: Urray and Ridgeway and tell you Ride in the Southwest.
Speaker 7: And so we have tell you Ride. Unfortunately, I don't.
Speaker 3: Know if I'll be able to wedge your ray in
Speaker 3: down there, but I understand the concern.
Speaker 5: All right, Dave Frasier, thanks so much. You can see
Speaker 5: his very accurate forecast on Fox thirty one unless you're
Speaker 5: in u Ray, and we'll talk to you next week,
Speaker 5: my friend, have a.
Speaker 7: Good one day, have fun this afternoon. I'll be listening,
Speaker 7: all right, thanks man.
Speaker 5: We'll be right back. To be clear, I have no
Speaker 5: issue with any of the posts that nine News put
Speaker 5: up there. Their news posts about Charlie Cook memorials and
Speaker 5: things like that. They're very even keeled, very right down
Speaker 5: the middle. But the responses show exactly who is listening
Speaker 5: and watching to nine News. Now, I want to share
Speaker 5: this text message really quick. So my team is evil
Speaker 5: if I don't share your outrage about your person well team,
Speaker 5: your team shot up kids in Evergreen High School last week,
Speaker 5: and they shot up the CDC the week before that,
Speaker 5: and they shot at a minnesot A state legislator and
Speaker 5: her husband a couple months before that. I don't really
Speaker 5: recall all of your outrage about your team when those
Speaker 5: shootings happened. Actually, maybe these crazy people on on your
Speaker 5: team or my team, Mandy, maybe they're just crazy people.
Speaker 5: But for the record, I haven't really appreciated you calling
Speaker 5: me personally evil this week because I'm not apoplectic about
Speaker 5: your guy. To be clear, I don't find you evil
Speaker 5: for not being apoplectic. What I find evil is people
Speaker 5: trying to justify the murder of Charlie Kirk by putting
Speaker 5: things up like he was a really bad guy and
Speaker 5: then cherry picking stuff that he said. That's what I
Speaker 5: find evil. If you like me, when someone on the
Speaker 5: other side of the aisle that I disagree as strongly
Speaker 5: dies just keep your opinion to yourself, which is what
Speaker 5: decent people do. I don't think you're evil, but I
Speaker 5: think there are a lot of people who have shown
Speaker 5: exactly where their heart is, and it's not in a
Speaker 5: good place. Now. Kevin reached out to me via text
Speaker 5: and said, Hey, I got a longer question. Kevin, you
Speaker 5: got one minute? Can you get it in?
Speaker 14: I hope so I want to get your take on this, Mandy.
Speaker 15: I tend to lean right on most things, but I've
Speaker 15: been catching a lot of flak from my friends on
Speaker 15: the right because I believe and I want your take
Speaker 15: on it, all of the right leaning media seems to
Speaker 15: be blaming the left for the shooting and for all
Speaker 15: the hate. In my opinion, they're spreading hate themselves by
Speaker 15: blaming the left. They shouldn't say the left had just
Speaker 15: left did that? I believe it should be. Hey, we
Speaker 15: need to cut this out. Trump did it the other
Speaker 15: day in a press conference, you know, blaming the left.
Speaker 15: What is your take on this? I mean, do you
Speaker 15: feel it's the left or do you feel we all
Speaker 15: need to just stop and calm down.
Speaker 5: Let me give you and Kevin, I'm gonna have to
Speaker 5: start this answer before the break and then I'm gonna
Speaker 5: have to finish it after the right because it's a
Speaker 5: long answer and it's a valid criticism for me. Remember
Speaker 5: after Trump got shot, we were all asking for togetherness,
Speaker 5: we were all asking to, you know, lower the tone
Speaker 5: of the rhetoric. Right, That's what we did after Trump
Speaker 5: got shot. But killing Charlie Kirk is different. And when
Speaker 5: we get back, I will tell you why. And I
Speaker 5: very much appreciate the question, Kevin. We'll do this right
Speaker 5: after this.
Speaker 1: The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Speaker 1: Accident and Injury Lawyers.
Speaker 2: No, it's Mandy connellyn on Ka.
Speaker 4: Ninetym got way, Kenn Nicey got through three many Connell
Speaker 4: keeping you're.
Speaker 2: Real sad, babe.
Speaker 5: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show.
Speaker 5: A little bit later, we are talking about Halloween burlesque.
Speaker 5: Oh yes, you heard me right. But right now, I
Speaker 5: want to respond to a question that listener Kevin had
Speaker 5: and it's a legitimate question. And Kevin said, look, I
Speaker 5: lean right on a lot of stuff, but I'm being
Speaker 5: getting a lot of crap from my friends on the
Speaker 5: right for pointing out that by blaming the left for
Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk's murder. You are engaging in the kind of
Speaker 5: hateful rhetoric that you are accusing the left of engaging in.
Speaker 5: And you, guys, that is a fair criticism. It is
Speaker 5: one hundred percent accurate. But now I just said in
Speaker 5: the last hour, anything that comes after the butt negates
Speaker 5: anything I just said right there. You can't negate the
Speaker 5: fact that he's making a solid point that we are
Speaker 5: now engaging in the kind of rhetoric that we're worried about.
Speaker 5: Except with one big exception, when I talk about people
Speaker 5: on the left showing their dark souls by celebrating and
Speaker 5: justifying the death of Charlie Kirk, not one single time
Speaker 5: have I advocated any kind of vibelits have I said
Speaker 5: these people are a threat to the United States of America.
Speaker 5: Now other people have. Other people absolutely have, and I
Speaker 5: think that's counterproductive, and I think in that case, Kevin
Speaker 5: is one hundred percent correct. But the reality is this,
Speaker 5: you guys, Charlie Kirk broke something in a lot of
Speaker 5: people that otherwise have been going about their business keeping
Speaker 5: their mouths shut, not getting into it with their liberal friends,
Speaker 5: because the friendship is more important than you know, winning
Speaker 5: an argument. They have now realized that not only not
Speaker 5: only did someone on the left, inspired by left wing rhetoric,
Speaker 5: by left wing conversations, decided that the answer was to
Speaker 5: murder a man who was not a politician. He hadn't
Speaker 5: been elected into office with a long history of you know,
Speaker 5: disparaging or disappointing constituents. We're used to presidents getting shot.
Speaker 5: We're used to politicians getting shot. I hate it, but
Speaker 5: it's true. That's why people started to make the comparison
Speaker 5: between Charlie Kirk's murder and Martin Luther King's murder because
Speaker 5: Martin Luther King Junior was not a politician. He was
Speaker 5: the leader of a movement. Now that movement had a
Speaker 5: political bent. That Martin Luther King Junior wasn't running for president.
Speaker 5: He was trying to change the country. Charlie Kirk wasn't
Speaker 5: running for president. He was trying to change the country
Speaker 5: and for a lot of people, people like me. When
Speaker 5: I hear people on the left, and some of them
Speaker 5: are people that I have cared deeply about for a
Speaker 5: very very long time, when I hear them trying to
Speaker 5: justify the murder of Charlie Kirk by saying well, you know,
Speaker 5: he wasn't a good guy.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 5: What they're saying is, hey, this guy that I disagree with,
Speaker 5: that you happen to agree with a lot of things
Speaker 5: that he believed, and that he said he's not a
Speaker 5: good guy, so therefore you are not a good guy either.
Speaker 16: Right.
Speaker 5: Isn't that how you take it? That's how it feels
Speaker 5: to me. It very much feels that way to me.
Speaker 5: And even Jesus had a moment where he flipped the
Speaker 5: tables and yelled at the money changers, and that's kind
Speaker 5: of where I am. I'm ready to flip some tables.
Speaker 5: I'm ready to push back because frankly, it's not about
Speaker 5: urging violence. It's not about urging you know anything. It
Speaker 5: is about holding them to account for their culpability in
Speaker 5: creating an atmosphere where a twenty two year old man
Speaker 5: decided that the quote was some hate can't be negotiated from.
Speaker 16: Right.
Speaker 5: That was a quote from his own text messages. Where
Speaker 5: does that sound? Does that sound familiar at all? Well,
Speaker 5: let me run through some of the quotes that I
Speaker 5: just pulled up in the I don't know six minutes
Speaker 5: between Kevin's call and now Representative Jasmine Crockett. She said,
Speaker 5: I think that you punch. I think you punch. I
Speaker 5: think you okay with punching. She also said Senator Ted
Speaker 5: Cruz has to be knocked over the head, like hard, right,
Speaker 5: like there's no niceties in him, like at all, you
Speaker 5: go clean off on him. That's Jasmine Crockett. Governor Gavin Newsom,
Speaker 5: he said, we're gonna punch these sons of bitches in
Speaker 5: the mouth. Former Representative Veto O'Rourke said, instead of awaiting
Speaker 5: the punch thrown by those would be fascist, we'll get
Speaker 5: to the word fascist in just a moment to hit
Speaker 5: us in the face and then respond, I want us
Speaker 5: to punch first. I want us to punch harder. Representative
Speaker 5: Maxine Waters. If you see anybody from that cabinet in
Speaker 5: a restaurant, a department store, at a gasoline station, you
Speaker 5: get out and you create a crowd and you push
Speaker 5: back on them and you tell them they're not welcome
Speaker 5: anymore anywhere. House Lead House Minority Leader Hi King jeffries,
Speaker 5: we're gonna fight it legislatively, We're gonna fight it in
Speaker 5: the courts, We're gonna fight it in the streets. That
Speaker 5: kind of rhetoric along with the constant drumbeat of Republicans
Speaker 5: or Nazis. Trump is a fascist. First of all, you
Speaker 5: demean the atrocities that were perpetrated by actual Nazis and
Speaker 5: actual fascists by saying that, because it is so detached
Speaker 5: from reality, and for a very long time, people like me,
Speaker 5: we just you know what, we're like, we'll agree to disagree,
Speaker 5: and we took it and we're not taking it anymore.
Speaker 5: So I am here to hold them accountable because there
Speaker 5: is a huge level of denial going on right now.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, when the text messages between this shooter
Speaker 5: and his boyfriend were released yesterday already on X they're like,
Speaker 5: oh my god, twenty year olds do not.
Speaker 17: Talk like that.
Speaker 5: Well, if they use voice to text, they do, because
Speaker 5: if you use voice to text and just say a sentence,
Speaker 5: that's what it texts. But by the way, the boyfriend
Speaker 5: is cooperating completely because he sure as hell doesn't want
Speaker 5: to go to jail. So we're in a position right
Speaker 5: now where we can do exactly what you're saying. We
Speaker 5: can rise above until the next time. Because what we've
Speaker 5: seen on the left, and I'm not even talking about
Speaker 5: from elected officials and I haven't even gotten to Joe
Speaker 5: Biden and everything Joe Biden said. Do you remember Joe's
Speaker 5: dark Joe Biden's speech where he literally said Donald Trump
Speaker 5: and Maga Republicans are a threat to democracy and he
Speaker 5: used that throughout the entire campaign. They are a threat
Speaker 5: to democracy. They are trying to destroy the foundations of
Speaker 5: this country. Is that productive political speech or is that
Speaker 5: an incitement to violence for a crazy person who has
Speaker 5: decided that this is the way to go.
Speaker 18: Now.
Speaker 5: I have my own opinions about this shooter. I think
Speaker 5: he was a very very conflicted gay man from a
Speaker 5: conservative family in a state where it's not okay to
Speaker 5: be gay, and I think he had he thought this
Speaker 5: was going to be some kind of grand, romantic gesture
Speaker 5: that was not only going to show his beloved how
Speaker 5: much he loved him, but was also going to man
Speaker 5: him up right. None of that, None of that should
Speaker 5: have happened, None of it. So I feel this very deeply.
Speaker 5: And to see people that I thought were my friends
Speaker 5: piling on using cherry picked quotes that demonstrate clearly that
Speaker 5: not only they've never listened to a single thing Charlie
Speaker 5: Kirk ever said by the way, I've watched more Charlie
Speaker 5: Kirk content in the past five days than I have
Speaker 5: watched in my entire life. Before he was shot. I
Speaker 5: wasn't in his demo. He wasn't talking to me, right,
Speaker 5: he was talking to college students. And that's the other thing.
Speaker 5: This wasn't just an attack on Charlie Kirk, an attack
Speaker 5: on people who think like I do. It was an
Speaker 5: attack on free speech. Aren't we always told when Black
Speaker 5: Lives Matter happened. Weren't we told we had to have
Speaker 5: a conversation, we needed to have a national reckoning on race.
Speaker 5: We were told that over and over and over again,
Speaker 5: only to find out that the conversations were lectures from
Speaker 5: racist who wanted to sit and tell a bunch of
Speaker 5: white people that we were all inherently racist and there
Speaker 5: was nothing we could do to get the racism out
Speaker 5: of our soul, and therefore we needed to give them
Speaker 5: money or something in order to get absolution from the
Speaker 5: racism that we can't get out of our souls. We
Speaker 5: were told we needed a conversation. Well, guess what Charlie
Speaker 5: Kirk was having a conversation. He was trying to talk
Speaker 5: to people he didn't agree with He gave them an
Speaker 5: open microphone from which they were allowed to come up, pontificate,
Speaker 5: share their views, and many times they shared them in
Speaker 5: a very aggressive fashion, and he was never nasty. He
Speaker 5: would push back, but he was never nasty even to
Speaker 5: people who were nasty to him, because he knew he
Speaker 5: could win the argument. He knew that the facts were
Speaker 5: on his side, and that being so dangerous to people
Speaker 5: on the left that they're celebrating the death of Charlie
Speaker 5: Kirk because they disagreed with what he said. How does
Speaker 5: that not feel like it puts you on notice? How
Speaker 5: does not feel like you could be next? I mean,
Speaker 5: maybe I feel this way. Maybe I feel a heightened
Speaker 5: sense of this because of what I do for a living.
Speaker 5: There's a real possibility of that that I just have
Speaker 5: such a heightened sense of emotion here because it feels
Speaker 5: very possible that this could be my fate because someone
Speaker 5: disagrees with what I say. It is so completely antithetical
Speaker 5: to the American ideals that I have long believed in.
Speaker 5: You know, I say I am a free speech absolutist.
Speaker 5: When Jimmy Seenberger was in here yesterday and we were
Speaker 5: talking about these horrific websites and reddit, you know, subreddits
Speaker 5: or whatever where people are watching murder and everything. As
Speaker 5: you hear me say, they should be taken down. No,
Speaker 5: I just said kids shouldn't be allowed to go there.
Speaker 5: I think they're vile and disgusting, and I think that
Speaker 5: I wish, I just wish that at white hat hackers
Speaker 5: would go in and they would identify the people in
Speaker 5: these chat rooms, so we will all know who to
Speaker 5: look out for. That would be what I would like
Speaker 5: to see happen. Oh, you want to watch videos of
Speaker 5: school shootings. I want to know who you are, and
Speaker 5: I'm keeping an eye on you from here on out.
Speaker 5: But I don't know what I'm taken down. You can't
Speaker 5: be a free speech absolutist and not believe that it
Speaker 5: is not the government's role to curtail speech. But at
Speaker 5: the same time, I ran it out a teacher in
Speaker 5: Meet County who apparently a substitute, is now teaching her
Speaker 5: class for her nasty comments. You know why, I'm not
Speaker 5: the government, And I've been told for years now, for
Speaker 5: years by people on the left, that there should be
Speaker 5: accountability when you say things that upset people. Well, boy, howdy,
Speaker 5: this went well beyond saying things that upset people. Now
Speaker 5: I'm having my Jesus flipping the tables moment. I am
Speaker 5: having the moment where I am so viscerally angry that
Speaker 5: I am determined to never be silent again. When someone
Speaker 5: I know and love and care about says some dumb
Speaker 5: ass left wing thing, I can assure you that I
Speaker 5: will gently and completely let them know just how dumb
Speaker 5: what they just said was. Because they have this impression
Speaker 5: that more people in the world agree with them than not.
Speaker 5: They have this impression that they can go on the Internet,
Speaker 5: which is a public forum, by the way, and they
Speaker 5: can say the nastiest things that they can think of.
Speaker 5: They can cheer and show videos of their children. Oh,
Speaker 5: I didn't even talk about this yesterday. I'm gonna bring
Speaker 5: this in here. I'm gonna bring this into this conversation,
Speaker 5: so I hope Kevin begins to understand. Yesterday on the
Speaker 5: blog Heaven, if you didn't see it, there was a
Speaker 5: video that was filmed by a mother and then put
Speaker 5: on line by the same mother. And in this video
Speaker 5: you have two little children and the mom comes up
Speaker 5: he goes, I have the best news ever, and I'm paraphrasing,
Speaker 5: but I'm pretty close. I have the best news ever.
Speaker 5: And one of the children says Donald Trump died, and
Speaker 5: the mom laughs and it's like, no, that's not what happened.
Speaker 5: And the other one goes, Jadie Vance died, and you
Speaker 5: should see the hope in their faces for the death
Speaker 5: of people that their parents disagree with politically. Be clear,
Speaker 5: those kids learned that from their mother. So if calling
Speaker 5: out that level of hate is hate speech, well sometimes
Speaker 5: you got a punch a bully in the face. And
Speaker 5: I don't mean that literally, I mean it rhetorically. The
Speaker 5: other part of this whole thing is watching people on
Speaker 5: the left cry crocodile tears over losing a job because
Speaker 5: people rated them out because they said all horrible things
Speaker 5: that showed absolutely no humanity, y'all. I am like stone
Speaker 5: when I see these people crying. I don't care, because
Speaker 5: in my twenty years of doing a talk show, I
Speaker 5: have had at least four concerted, organized efforts by people
Speaker 5: on the left to either get all of my advertisers
Speaker 5: to cancel their contracts with me or to actively work
Speaker 5: to get me fired. So I've already been through this
Speaker 5: four separate occasions. I have had to file police reports
Speaker 5: because of threats that I received at the radio station
Speaker 5: on more than one occasion. So my sympathy is zero
Speaker 5: because they did it to me. Now I realized that
Speaker 5: at some point, we're all gonna have to rise above.
Speaker 5: We're all gonna have to figure out a way to
Speaker 5: bring the country back together. And guys, I want to
Speaker 5: be a part of that. I really do. But I
Speaker 5: also know they will never stop unless they pay some
Speaker 5: kind of consequences for their lack of humanity. And the
Speaker 5: government can't do it, but the people can. We can
Speaker 5: use the exact same rule book that was written by
Speaker 5: people on the left that has been deployed against people
Speaker 5: on the right for decades. Now, if you ever listen
Speaker 5: to Russia Limbaugh, you know that Rush Limbaugh was constantly
Speaker 5: the subject of a group of people that would attack
Speaker 5: all of his advertisers on every local station, and they
Speaker 5: would say, I'm a dedicated customer and I'm never shopping
Speaker 5: there again as long as you advertise on the Rush
Speaker 5: Limbaugh Show. He talked about it openly on the air.
Speaker 5: So we are now picking up the rule book that
Speaker 5: the left laid down, and until they decide that the
Speaker 5: rule book needs to go for everybody. We have no
Speaker 5: choice because now they've gone from calling us Nazis, and
Speaker 5: they've gone from calling us fascists, and they've gone from
Speaker 5: comparing us to Joseph Kerbels on the floor of Congress.
Speaker 5: They've gone from merely saying we need to be punched
Speaker 5: in the face to now one of our people, a
Speaker 5: young man with two small children and a wife, whose
Speaker 5: crime was going on college campuses and getting young people
Speaker 5: whose heads had been jammed full with so much just
Speaker 5: mush from the left that run our universities, and making
Speaker 5: them question their belief system. He never bludgeon them over
Speaker 5: the head rhetorically and tried to force them to believe
Speaker 5: what he believed. He asked them questions to make them
Speaker 5: question the dumb ass things that they believe, and they
Speaker 5: killed him.
Speaker 9: They murdered him.
Speaker 5: So I realized that it is a very contradictory feeling.
Speaker 5: I don't like feeling this way. If you guys have
Speaker 5: listened to the show, you know I'm not a name caller,
Speaker 5: I'm not a pejorative slinger. Yeah, I am highly critical
Speaker 5: of the Democrats in this state and the way they
Speaker 5: run it, But I have never lobbed a personal attack.
Speaker 5: I have never said go down to the Capitol and
Speaker 5: punch someone in the face. I have never advocated for
Speaker 5: violence in any way, shape or form, and I have
Speaker 5: certain I have never celebrated an attack on a political opponent.
Speaker 16: Ever.
Speaker 5: And yet for me, is that enough to get me
Speaker 5: shot and then have people here celebrate it? The people
Speaker 5: on the nine news facebook page? Are they going to
Speaker 5: celebrate my death too? This is different because it's different.
Speaker 5: This is different because it will never stop until we
Speaker 5: stop it. And I hate that this is where we are.
Speaker 5: I hate it with a fire of a thousand sons.
Speaker 5: I really do. I would much rather have substantial conversations
Speaker 5: about policy decisions that are going to affect our lives
Speaker 5: on a daily basis, as boring as that may be,
Speaker 5: I would much prefer that. But this moment was thrust
Speaker 5: upon us, and I'm tired of being nice. I'm tired
Speaker 5: of feeling like I have to curtail my viewpoint because
Speaker 5: someone on the other side is gonna call me a racist,
Speaker 5: a homophobe, a fascist, a Nazi, a whatever. Frankly, I
Speaker 5: don't care about any of that. Honestly, I just I
Speaker 5: don't fight with people because I can't be bothered now
Speaker 5: I'm bothered now it matters. So I hope Kevin, this
Speaker 5: helps you understand. It's not going to excuse the point
Speaker 5: that the dialogue on the right is now matching the
Speaker 5: dialogue on the left. It's not gonna excuse that. But,
Speaker 5: like I said, we have to stop this, and frankly,
Speaker 5: I think the only way we stop it is by
Speaker 5: using the exact same tactics that we learn from the
Speaker 5: left on them, so they decide to not use them
Speaker 5: on us anymore. Because it sucks, sucks for everybody. I
Speaker 5: hate everybody right now, you guys, I really do. I
Speaker 5: don't mean I hate it. I don't hate a rod.
Speaker 5: I don't hate you guys listening to the audience, I
Speaker 5: have no reason to hate ay right runs like, dude,
Speaker 5: what did I do? No, Seriously, I hate the political discourse.
Speaker 5: I hate the political dialogue. I hate what this country
Speaker 5: is becoming. But I genuinely am starting to believe until
Speaker 5: we get serious about shoving it back down their throats,
Speaker 5: it will never ever end. Now, when we get back,
Speaker 5: I'm going to open up the phone lines. I'm gonna
Speaker 5: let you guys weigh in, and then We're not going
Speaker 5: to talk about this in the two o'clock hour. I
Speaker 5: have like a million other things that I want to
Speaker 5: talk about. Okay, So when we get back from break,
Speaker 5: phone lines open three O three seven to one, three
Speaker 5: eighty five eighty five, will be right back. Are we
Speaker 5: spreading hate speech? Are we doing what they say? You
Speaker 5: know what we say they're doing. Are we now doing?
Speaker 16: Yeah?
Speaker 5: We kind of are. And I wish we weren't. I
Speaker 5: wish I didn't feel this way. I wish I didn't
Speaker 5: believe that the only way to stop this is to
Speaker 5: kind of give as good as we get. Three O
Speaker 5: three seven one three eighty five eighty five. That's three
Speaker 5: oh three seven one three eighty five eighty five. David
Speaker 5: in Pueblo. On your mind, David.
Speaker 10: Mandy.
Speaker 19: I recently started to listening to you.
Speaker 12: I drive a truck and called out of.
Speaker 19: Four quick items and I'll be fast.
Speaker 12: I think I liked your reference.
Speaker 19: Is mandy spelt.
Speaker 14: Different than a stripper?
Speaker 19: Secondly, you talked about being a cheerer in high school
Speaker 19: and being on the bottom of the pyramids and all that.
Speaker 19: It's gonna ask you how tall you were, and you
Speaker 19: never answered that question.
Speaker 5: I'm five ten, and I've been five to ten since
Speaker 5: the ninth grade.
Speaker 11: But there you go.
Speaker 5: Y was funny.
Speaker 19: Thirdly, yeah, give as good as you can get. You
Speaker 19: know what it's been on for years, kind of like
Speaker 19: the frog and put it in the pot and turn
Speaker 19: of the heat on.
Speaker 20: Ye.
Speaker 19: And the Democrats have abused this, the legacy media has
Speaker 19: abused this. The education which I watched my children and
Speaker 19: another state go through. The indoctrination is over the top.
Speaker 19: I'll just leave that alone.
Speaker 5: But what really is the lead of all this?
Speaker 8: Mandy?
Speaker 19: And no one wants to deal with it. And I'm
Speaker 19: finding people that are so scared. Yes there's been laws,
Speaker 19: but they're not legit. All elections, their selections where Machin
Speaker 19: needs need to go.
Speaker 10: And I mailed at work and I reach out to
Speaker 10: poets all the time.
Speaker 19: To three Tina Peter's partner, because she's corruptly in jail.
Speaker 5: We'll agree to disagree about Tina Peters. Because Tina Peters
Speaker 5: was tried by a Republican prosecutor in a district that
Speaker 5: probably had a mostly Republican jury, and from what I
Speaker 5: know from following the trials, she clearly violated the law clearly.
Speaker 5: Now is ther sent and successive. Yeah, I think it is.
Speaker 8: I do.
Speaker 5: I think it's successive. But she clearly violated the law,
Speaker 5: so we will agree to disagree on that, Dave. But
Speaker 5: all the rest of your points are are you gratefully accepted?
Speaker 5: I appreciate that, No problem.
Speaker 19: Well you might want to every want research on that
Speaker 19: trial because she never really got a fair trial.
Speaker 5: Well, there's a lot of reasons for that as well.
Speaker 5: But they were choices that she made. So it's like
Speaker 5: when someone makes a bad choice about who they hire
Speaker 5: as an attorney. That's the choice that they've made, and
Speaker 5: she made that. Never mind, we'll go into that later. Jack,
Speaker 5: you're on Koway What's on your Mind?
Speaker 8: By Mandy.
Speaker 11: I keep hearing public figures, some of them politicians, some
Speaker 11: of them entertainers, most recently Jamie Curtis making references that are.
Speaker 8: Its hoowful? They are appropriate, yes, that regard, but who
Speaker 8: simply say I couldn't disagree more with Charlie Kirk's ideas.
Speaker 8: I don't hear anyone enumerate what those ideas are. I
Speaker 8: don't even hear them say I disagree completely with Charlie
Speaker 8: Kirk's approach or his technique and I'd like for someone
Speaker 8: to tell me what those ideas are. Even the person
Speaker 8: under arrest talked about some ideas can't be negotiated with.
Speaker 8: Has anyone on that stand expressed what ideas I think?
Speaker 5: Well, I think there's a couple of things that work here.
Speaker 5: And I'm glad you brought up Jamie Lee Curtis because
Speaker 5: I'm a huge fan. She is on the left, openly
Speaker 5: on the left. She has a trans daughter, and so
Speaker 5: she gave what I thought were incredibly gracious comments about
Speaker 5: Charlie Kirk. She is a person of faith. She is
Speaker 5: a woman who says, look, I was saved by AA
Speaker 5: and I have a great relationship with my creator. And
Speaker 5: I thought her comments were very gracious. But people on
Speaker 5: the left must qualify their comments because if they are
Speaker 5: perceived by people on the left as being too sympathetic
Speaker 5: to the death of Charlie Kirk, well then the knives
Speaker 5: come out for them, right, And so I think that
Speaker 5: there is a lot of that going on where they
Speaker 5: feel like they have to say, well, I didn't agree
Speaker 5: with anything he said, and I bet you a vast
Speaker 5: majority of them could not clearly articulate a single thing
Speaker 5: that Charlie Kirk said, but that's like the disclaimer, so
Speaker 5: they don't get annihilated by their side while they're trying
Speaker 5: to do something kind and express some sympathy. So, you know,
Speaker 5: I think that's a fair question, Jack, But I don't
Speaker 5: think the time is now to say, I'm going to
Speaker 5: press you on this, right, like, let them at least
Speaker 5: do the decent thing and say this man did not
Speaker 5: deserve to die and condemn in no uncertain terms of
Speaker 5: political violence. Because to your point, there have been people
Speaker 5: on the left that have said that. But I think
Speaker 5: that they have to give themselves cover or otherwise they
Speaker 5: know their next right. And it's sad but true.
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, I don't quite know what to say in
Speaker 8: response to that, other than until those ideas are articulated,
Speaker 8: there's really no discussion that we can hit. But you
Speaker 8: know what, miserating with the family.
Speaker 11: We agree on that with people like Jamie Lee Curtis.
Speaker 11: But Jack, here's the thing that they have a compulsion
Speaker 11: to tell us that they disagree. Why is that even
Speaker 11: necessarily Well, part because.
Speaker 5: They have to they have to to give themselves cover
Speaker 5: with their side. The reality is is that Jack, there
Speaker 5: are such good things happening in the background right now.
Speaker 5: They're a turning Point USA. The organization started by Charlie
Speaker 5: Kirk has They said they had over forty two thousand
Speaker 5: requests in the last week for students who wanted to
Speaker 5: start a Turning Port chapter at their schools, whether it
Speaker 5: was middle school or high school or their colleges. You
Speaker 5: have all of these people, some of who had never
Speaker 5: even heard of Charlie Kirk before consuming his content at
Speaker 5: a very high level. And as soon as those people
Speaker 5: understand and truly grasp what Charlie Kirk was about, those
Speaker 5: are the people that are going to be going to
Speaker 5: be fighting back. Those are the people that are going
Speaker 5: to be doing exactly what you say you need and
Speaker 5: I agree needs to happen. But I do think it's
Speaker 5: been a week. There is still We're still early in
Speaker 5: the grief curve and things are are happening behind the
Speaker 5: scenes that will come to fruition later that I think
Speaker 5: will provide you some satisfaction on this particular measure. Jack,
Speaker 5: I appreciate the phone call. Let me get Mark. You
Speaker 5: are on KOA from Golden What's on your mind?
Speaker 12: Hi? Mandy. An earlier show you were talking about no
Speaker 12: More Cherry Creek School District, no more valid Victorians.
Speaker 5: Yes, that was yesterday.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I was reading about the Colorado Teacher of the Year
Speaker 12: and one of the finalists was a teacher from Cherry
Speaker 12: Creek High School, So I think they should take that
Speaker 12: away too.
Speaker 5: Mark, that is an excellent point that you just made.
Speaker 5: If they're not going to let the kids have superlative,
Speaker 5: surely they can't have a teacher get a superlative either. Hey, Mark,
Speaker 5: you're in Golden Are you familiar with the Miners Alley
Speaker 5: Theater there? The little theater right there off of the
Speaker 5: main drag. It's so good. You should go see a
Speaker 5: play there.
Speaker 12: Yeah, Myners Hardware thirty five years.
Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am, exactly. They do great work there. I just
Speaker 5: saw my first show there on Sunday and absolutely loved it.
Speaker 5: Stown Yep, I appreciate it.
Speaker 13: Man.
Speaker 5: That's a great point, Mark, A fine point, Isn't that funny? Mandy?
Speaker 5: I think the the shooter's problem with Charlie that he
Speaker 5: mentioned in the text exchange was probably his stance on homosexuality.
Speaker 5: Sounds like this kid might have been gay, but everything
Speaker 5: in his upbringing told him that was not good. And
Speaker 5: my guess is was Charlie was not a fan. If
Speaker 5: I'm a If I'm a I don't that's dude. Well,
Speaker 5: here's the thing. There's a lot of content of Charlie
Speaker 5: Kirk speaking directly to people who come up and say
Speaker 5: I'm queer or I'm gay or whatever. And Charlie Kirk
Speaker 5: was always very clear. He said, look, because of my faith,
Speaker 5: I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Speaker 5: But I also believe that gay people are welcome in
Speaker 5: the conservative movement. And there's a video floating around yesterday.
Speaker 5: I should probably grab it. I'll see if I can
Speaker 5: find it of him actually pushing back on a student
Speaker 5: who got up to a microphone and said basically like,
Speaker 5: how can you welcome gay people if you say you're
Speaker 5: a Christian? And Charlie Kirk pushed back really hard on
Speaker 5: that and said, what would you do with these people?
Speaker 5: Of course, of course they're welcome. So though he personally
Speaker 5: believed that homosexuality was a sin, he never went out
Speaker 5: and said you're wrong, you're going to hell, you're a
Speaker 5: bad person, you're all of these things. He just said,
Speaker 5: my beliefs are this. Shouldn't you be able to say that?
Speaker 18: Now?
Speaker 5: I disagree with it. Charlie Kirk and I disagree on homosexuality.
Speaker 5: His is biblically informed and I understand that and appreciate it.
Speaker 5: Mine is a little more loosey goosey. I kind of
Speaker 5: feel like God made us all in this, you know,
Speaker 5: in a way. So I disagreed with him all that,
Speaker 5: But he was never nasty about it. He never said, hey,
Speaker 5: you giant homo, sit down and shut up. That never happened.
Speaker 5: So if this kid was radicalized because of that, And
Speaker 5: I think it's a safe assertion to say that a
Speaker 5: man in a relationship with another man who is trying
Speaker 5: to become a woman but is still a man, you
Speaker 5: are gay if you are in that relationship. If you
Speaker 5: are a man in a relationship with another man with
Speaker 5: a penis, you are in a gay relationship. And where
Speaker 5: I sit, there's nothing wrong with that. Hey, Chris, what's
Speaker 5: on your mind?
Speaker 14: Hey Mandy A longtime listener. I'm a construction worker. I
Speaker 14: agree with you about you know, if you speak out,
Speaker 14: I mean, what is this in nineteen forty two? Again?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it does feel that way that only they prove
Speaker 5: narrative is allowed.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's just it's unbelievable I don't you know. I
Speaker 14: hope your station will give you some money to pay
Speaker 14: for your security.
Speaker 5: We have talked about it, yes, yes, we have indeed
Speaker 5: talked about it. So yeah, there are things work in there.
Speaker 18: You know.
Speaker 14: It's just absurd. I didn't think I'd ever live in
Speaker 14: a country like this. It just bothers me away. I'm like,
Speaker 14: come on, people, it's okay to talk to each other.
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, it used to be encouraged,
Speaker 5: but here we are, Chris. I appreciate the phone call man,
Speaker 5: Thanks for listening as well. Hey David in Golden you're
Speaker 5: on KOA.
Speaker 7: Hi Mandy, Hi David again, same same thing, long time listener.
Speaker 10: I absolutely love your show. God bless you for what
Speaker 10: you do.
Speaker 15: Thank you.
Speaker 5: I appreciate that.
Speaker 10: Uh, dang it. I just wish they'd bring battle Box back.
Speaker 7: Well.
Speaker 5: Battle Bots actually has an entire facility in Las Vegas now,
Speaker 5: they have like a building in Las Vegas. So I'll
Speaker 5: find out about that and I'll let you know if
Speaker 5: battle Bots is making a comeback anytime soon.
Speaker 7: Oh that would be awesome.
Speaker 10: Maybe we could, you know, work out our differences on
Speaker 10: with our battle box.
Speaker 5: That would be amazing to have one battle bot be
Speaker 5: read one battle bot be blue. Then you have a
Speaker 5: porcupine battle bot for the Libertarian Party and just duke
Speaker 5: it out in the battle fock ring and let our
Speaker 5: robots do the talking forest. That would be fantastic.
Speaker 10: Yeah, they only have a thing. Uh you know, I
Speaker 10: watched the news this morning and they were talking about
Speaker 10: the lack of funding for RSOs. I wonder if somebody
Speaker 10: I wouldn't be able to do it, but I wonder
Speaker 10: if somebody could put together a volunteer organization to supplement
Speaker 10: the RSOs in the school district.
Speaker 5: Well, I do think this is going to get renewed
Speaker 5: attention for a variety of reasons. I know that Douglas
Speaker 5: County just had a big meeting last night about school
Speaker 5: security and they have to change. They have to change
Speaker 5: some stuff legislatively to be able to provide SROs for
Speaker 5: every school. There's some things that has to happen. But
Speaker 5: whatever community you're in, David, I would start to reach
Speaker 5: out to the school board and say, what is the
Speaker 5: situation on SROs. How can we get more SROs in
Speaker 5: the schools? Because if they hear from people, if they
Speaker 5: get phone calls and say this is important to me.
Speaker 5: I want to make sure our kids have the best chance,
Speaker 5: and I think SROs would be a big part of it.
Speaker 5: It will make a difference. So I would urge you
Speaker 5: and everybody listening to make that phone call to the
Speaker 5: school board respectfully, politely ask them about increased security for
Speaker 5: kids because we got to do something. I appreciate the
Speaker 5: phone call David very much. I want to read one
Speaker 5: email before we go to break. It's real short. It
Speaker 5: just says, Mandy, please don't use my name. I work
Speaker 5: in a newsroom. What you just said today inspired me
Speaker 5: to push harder. It's been an uphill battle to get
Speaker 5: conservative viewpoints heard and represented. You're vilified for expressing and
Speaker 5: opposing viewpoint. You want to discuss coverage from a memorial
Speaker 5: for Charlie Kirk and someone suggests doing a piece about
Speaker 5: the difference between hate speech and political rhetoric. How about
Speaker 5: a story regarding a human being who was about free speech.
Speaker 5: I don't have to agree with what you say, but
Speaker 5: I'm going to stand up for your right to say it.
Speaker 5: I hate seeing where we are in a society today.
Speaker 5: We cannot openly discuss opposing viewpoints in a peaceful manner
Speaker 5: and maybe gain a better understanding. We'll be right back.
Speaker 1: The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Speaker 1: Accident and injury Lawyers.
Speaker 2: No, it's Mandy Connell and.
Speaker 20: Nine am say I want to stay the nicety Prey and.
Speaker 2: Connal Key is sad bab.
Speaker 5: Welcome, Wellcot, Welcome to the third hour of the show.
Speaker 5: I'm your host, Mandy Connell. I got Anthony Rodriguez was there.
Speaker 5: We got the wine Yogi doing her airhorn. As a
Speaker 5: matter of fact, I really would love for you guys
Speaker 5: to go to the blog today. I had like a
Speaker 5: whole show planned. I did not mean to spend the
Speaker 5: entire show talking about the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk
Speaker 5: assassination and the political discourse in this country. It's only
Speaker 5: been a week. I'm still not over it. I did
Speaker 5: not mean to go completely down this way today. But
Speaker 5: there's a lot of people, based on the responses I'm
Speaker 5: getting there sort of in the same position. So we
Speaker 5: will continue this for a couple more phone calls and
Speaker 5: then I've got other stuff on the blog at mandy'sblog
Speaker 5: dot com that I really want to get to. But
Speaker 5: I want to talk to Vicky and Greeley first, Vicky,
Speaker 5: you're on kaway. What's on your mind?
Speaker 21: Hi, thank you for taking my call. Yes, just observations
Speaker 21: from two years ago. Uh, during the whole George Floyd
Speaker 21: and black lives matters, uproars and everything, the cops, the
Speaker 21: police officers, the school resource officers were not wanted in
Speaker 21: the schools. They were not welcome in the school, nor
Speaker 21: were they welcome pretty much anywhere. But now, all of
Speaker 21: a sudden you kind of almost get suggist that it
Speaker 21: was almost the school resource officer's fault and Evergreen, And
Speaker 21: I mean, it's just an observation that why the cops
Speaker 21: were not welcome back then, but now it's all of
Speaker 21: a sudden that they're needed and wanted everywhere. So it's
Speaker 21: just the hypocrisy is driving me to drink, and it's
Speaker 21: a little bit of a WTF allment.
Speaker 5: Well, you know, and I get to you, Vicky, and
Speaker 5: I appreciate the phone call. I totally understand that feeling.
Speaker 5: And it's when you say it's the SRO's fault. In Evergreen,
Speaker 5: the s RO was on medical leave and there was
Speaker 5: another SRO that was split between two schools, and so
Speaker 5: there was no SRO in the schools at that time.
Speaker 5: So that's kind of I think what Vicky was referring to.
Speaker 5: But yeah, they're bad, they're good. The problem is is that,
Speaker 5: just as people like me said when they defund the police,
Speaker 5: movement really got rolling on the left. We all sat
Speaker 5: here and we're like, you know, crime's gonna go up, right,
Speaker 5: I mean, you do know criminals are going to fill
Speaker 5: that void, right, And all of a sudden, everybody's like,
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, we need an SRO because bad things
Speaker 5: are gonna go Well, yeah, that's well. I'm just glad
Speaker 5: they got there eventually. Vicky. I'm just glad they, you know,
Speaker 5: figured it out. Just be grateful for that. Sharon and Thornton,
Speaker 5: I'll let you have the last word. What's on your mind?
Speaker 13: Hi, it's Karen actually, but never mind. My granddaughters went
Speaker 13: to Erie High School. They were in middle school when.
Speaker 7: Sandy Hook hit Yeah, and I had a thought.
Speaker 13: Then I talked to their school principal and supposedly, someone
Speaker 13: who's gonna call me from the district and it never did.
Speaker 13: And if somebody suggested, I'm sorry.
Speaker 7: But my thought was they could find a lot of retired.
Speaker 13: Grandparents parents who would gladly go to the school and
Speaker 13: not have to pay them a plug nickel just to
Speaker 13: keep the kids safe.
Speaker 5: Well, in some schools, like my daughter's charter school in
Speaker 5: Douglas County had a program like that and they called
Speaker 5: it Watchdogs. Yeah, they called it watchdogs, and they basically
Speaker 5: were parents or grandparents that just were in the schools.
Speaker 5: They would walk around the grounds and make sure that,
Speaker 5: you know, everything looked fine, and they would kind of
Speaker 5: keep an eye on things. And it really just takes
Speaker 5: one family or one person coordinating the volunteer situation. I
Speaker 5: don't know about a true traditional public school how welcoming
Speaker 5: they would be, but our charter school loved it and
Speaker 5: they encouraged it, and we had a great group of parents.
Speaker 5: My husband was one of them that just was were
Speaker 5: on campus. So to your point, that exists, but it
Speaker 5: is usually, to your point, again, a volunteer organization. So
Speaker 5: perhaps if you're listening to this right now and you're
Speaker 5: one of those retired grandparents who would love to help out,
Speaker 5: reach out and see if you can start a chapter
Speaker 5: in the school near you. I appreciate the phone call.
Speaker 5: Somebody just pointed out something and I am embarrassed that
Speaker 5: I forgot about this. It is Constitution Day. How ironic
Speaker 5: is that that the Constitution, which includes the Bill of Rights,
Speaker 5: one of the greatest documents, in my view, ever to
Speaker 5: create a system of government that was designed with one goal,
Speaker 5: and that was to ensure that the people who lived
Speaker 5: under that document could remain free, and that included the
Speaker 5: right to free speech and just for fun. I want
Speaker 5: you to all do this with me, because we all
Speaker 5: learned it the same way. We all learned the Preamble
Speaker 5: to the Constitution. If you're my age, if you're gen X,
Speaker 5: you know where I'm going with this. Hey, Rod, can
Speaker 5: you sing the preamble with me?
Speaker 11: Do you know it?
Speaker 5: Do you know the song? We the people in order
Speaker 5: to form them more perfect, and establish justice and ensure
Speaker 5: a domestic drink with let ee provide for the common defense,
Speaker 5: promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of our
Speaker 5: liberty to ourselves and our posterity to our dain, and
Speaker 5: distablish this Constitution of the United States of americ I
Speaker 5: guarantee you there's like everyone my age was singing that song.
Speaker 6: Ever heard of schoolhouse Rock?
Speaker 5: That's how we learned everything in Jai and I never
Speaker 5: heard that one. Oh god, look it up right now,
Speaker 5: Look up Schoolhouse rock preample of the Constitution. Phenomenal. All
Speaker 5: the Schoolhouse rocks are amazing. I have them on DVD.
Speaker 17: They're so good.
Speaker 5: Today is Constitution Day. So let's not take that for granted,
Speaker 5: shall we, Because this, all of this, the whole thing
Speaker 5: we've been talking about for the show. It's all about
Speaker 5: free speech and free speech. But you know, I see
Speaker 5: this all the time on the show when people say,
Speaker 5: you know, why do we have to have this, or
Speaker 5: why do we have to have gun violence? Why do
Speaker 5: we have the guys, we live ostensibly in a free nation,
Speaker 5: and in a free nation, it's messy, it's not clean.
Speaker 5: And Charlie Kirk made the point. Charlie Kirk made the
Speaker 5: point about the Second Amendment. He started out, by the way,
Speaker 5: if you've seen that little snippet from people saying he
Speaker 5: wanted kids dead, die because of this, that's not at
Speaker 5: all what he said. In the longer context of that clip,
Speaker 5: he goes on to talk about things that we as
Speaker 5: a society have decided are worth the trade off. He
Speaker 5: uses the example of fifty thousand people die in car
Speaker 5: accidents every year. Fifty thousand people die live, snuffed out
Speaker 5: by car accidents. And yet we as a society are
Speaker 5: not saying, well, we got to give up our cars,
Speaker 5: We got to get that. That's it's it's inconvenient.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: We've decided that fifty thousand deaths were willing to roll
Speaker 5: the dice and hope we're not one of them. And
Speaker 5: the point he was trying to make that in order
Speaker 5: to allow us to push back against a tyrannical government,
Speaker 5: we have to have arms, and there's no way that
Speaker 5: we could fight back. I mean, you look at some
Speaker 5: of these Look at the people in Venezuela. They're living
Speaker 5: under a totalitarian who has destroyed their economy. People are
Speaker 5: literally starving. They were eating zoo animals at one point,
Speaker 5: and you know they don't have any way to fight back.
Speaker 5: Same in Cuba, because as soon as these totalitarians get
Speaker 5: into office, the first thing they do is disarm the population.
Speaker 5: And if that doesn't give you pause, I don't know
Speaker 5: if I can help you. Be kind about my singing
Speaker 5: they preamble to the constitution. Several of you noticed that
Speaker 5: it was a little off key. Whatever singing voice I
Speaker 5: had went completely away after my vocal cord surgery, so
Speaker 5: the fact that I even did that, it just shows
Speaker 5: how much I love you and how much I love that.
Speaker 5: It's Constitution Day today and many of you are hitting
Speaker 5: up the text line with announcing I'm just a bill
Speaker 5: or a conjunction junction, what's your function? And it's amazing
Speaker 5: to me as a member of the gen X community.
Speaker 5: Let me just tell the kids listening, and yeah, there's
Speaker 5: some younger people listening.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: Back when we were kids, we didn't have cartoons all day.
Speaker 5: We didn't have the cartoon Network. We got cartoons on
Speaker 5: Saturday morning and we would get up and we would
Speaker 5: pour a giant bowl of some kind of incredibly unhealthy cereal.
Speaker 5: For me, Lucky Charms was my poison, and we would
Speaker 5: eat this bowl of cereal while shoveling in just you know,
Speaker 5: cartoons on Saturday morning, because you literally got three hours
Speaker 5: of cartoons before, like news shows started, and schoolhouse Rock
Speaker 5: taught us all so much stuff, Like there's so many
Speaker 5: other good schoolhouse Rock videos, like the shot heard around
Speaker 5: the world about the beginning of the American Revolution. You'd
Speaker 5: be surprised how much of that when you remember. But
Speaker 5: but what do kids consume now, you know, Like why
Speaker 5: don't we have because Schoolhouse Rock was based really in
Speaker 5: the foundation of the country and based in patriotism. This
Speaker 5: is back in the nineteen seventies. We were coming up
Speaker 5: to the bi centennial in nineteen seventy six, and people
Speaker 5: were invested in learning about what made this country great.
Speaker 5: And now we have kids in school where all they're
Speaker 5: learning is everything we did wrong. We have to get
Speaker 5: to a balance with what kids are learning. You absolutely
Speaker 5: have to learn about the mistakes that have been made
Speaker 5: in this country because we have never lived all the
Speaker 5: way up to the ideals that we have put forth
Speaker 5: in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. There's always
Speaker 5: somebody getting the short end of the stick, right, So
Speaker 5: it doesn't mean we shouldn't continue to try to live
Speaker 5: up to those ideals, because I strongly believe that we
Speaker 5: should continue to try to live up to those ideals.
Speaker 5: But it's amazing how much that stuck, isn't it. I mean,
Speaker 5: think about it. I can remember that, And what was
Speaker 5: the other one? Remember the wagon wheel guy that used
Speaker 5: to make snacks for after lunch, the guy with the
Speaker 5: little cane and the hat, what was his name? All
Speaker 5: these flashbacks from childhood are coming in now that I'm
Speaker 5: talking about the Schoolhouse Rock and you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock,
Speaker 5: you really should. When my daughter was really little, Oh god,
Speaker 5: I forgot about this. So my daughter was really little
Speaker 5: and I tried to like introduce Schoolhouse Rock to her
Speaker 5: and she was like, oh, this isn't so boring because
Speaker 5: we sat down to watch it all in a row, right.
Speaker 5: But back in the day, they were just interspersed on
Speaker 5: a commercial break. The networks literally took time out of
Speaker 5: their programming to teach us about how a bill gets passed,
Speaker 5: or the preamble of the Constitution, or what started the revolution.
Speaker 5: I mean, come on, Mandy, I would have thought you'd
Speaker 5: watch Bandstand or he Haw Saturday mornings. Well they came
Speaker 5: on after he Haw. By the way, it was at
Speaker 5: seven pm on Saturday night. I can also sing gloom, despair,
Speaker 5: agony on me. Oh that spooky music indicates we're going
Speaker 5: to talk about something Halloween related, But instead of blood
Speaker 5: and guts and jump scares, we're talking about maybe some
Speaker 5: feather boas. I don't know AC's we're talking about burlesque.
Speaker 5: The show is called Nightmare on St.
Speaker 2: Strip.
Speaker 5: That's hard to say right on Strip Street. Kelly not
Speaker 5: there on Strip Street.
Speaker 22: Say that about fourteen thousand times day. So, yes, it's
Speaker 22: Nightmare on Strip Street here in Denver, of started in
Speaker 22: July going through November.
Speaker 5: From wait, it's been going on since July? Yes, how
Speaker 5: did I just hear about this? Is it just as
Speaker 5: we're coming up to Halloween?
Speaker 9: I think that's the case.
Speaker 5: And I am out of the burlesque demo mostly, you.
Speaker 22: Know not you would be surprised when you come see
Speaker 22: the show. If we can get you to come see
Speaker 22: the show, you will be surprised by the variety of
Speaker 22: ages that we have there. A lot of couples, of
Speaker 22: couples come for date night or or what have you.
Speaker 22: But yeah, this is a city that we're doing this
Speaker 22: particular show in, right, and the production company is developing
Speaker 22: it here.
Speaker 9: So we started in mid July through August.
Speaker 22: We sold out every show, so the producers decided to
Speaker 22: extend us through November.
Speaker 5: Second, so let me ask this question for anybody listening,
Speaker 5: because already I can feel the judge people and they're like,
Speaker 5: maybe you're having strippers on that program and no, what
Speaker 5: is the difference between burlesque In a more graphic form
Speaker 5: of we called the shoe show.
Speaker 22: Here on the program that you the ladies are just
Speaker 22: wearing shoes. What is the difference. The difference is that
Speaker 22: this is burlesque. It is much more choreographed directed. This
Speaker 22: is high level dancing. The dancers we have here today
Speaker 22: and the dancers in our show are elite athletes.
Speaker 5: There.
Speaker 22: This is something you'll see in Vegas. This is not
Speaker 22: what you'll see at Shotgun Willies. God bless everyone there.
Speaker 22: But this is not somebody who decides to just get
Speaker 22: up there and shake.
Speaker 5: Their hip right.
Speaker 22: This is highly choreographed, highly directed, highly elite dancing.
Speaker 5: Well, we have Jamie and Brandon in with us today
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna start with Janie. Janie, when you were little,
Speaker 5: were you like, God, I want to be a burlesque
Speaker 5: dancer when I grow up. How did you get here?
Speaker 8: Not quite?
Speaker 18: Hi, No, I've I've always wanted to be a dancer,
Speaker 18: but this sort of just like fell into my lap
Speaker 18: this year. So this is my first time doing a
Speaker 18: burlesque show. But it's a blast and I love it.
Speaker 5: Did you have reservations at all like the concept of burlesque?
Speaker 5: What were your thoughts about it when when you found
Speaker 5: out about it? Where did you have any reservations at all?
Speaker 18: Me personally, No, I'm a very open book though. I'm
Speaker 18: a heels dancer, so I'm used to like the sexy
Speaker 18: nature of the show.
Speaker 9: But yeah, not for me.
Speaker 5: How about now, Brandon, most people would not necessarily think
Speaker 5: a dude in a burlesque show. So what do you
Speaker 5: do in the show?
Speaker 23: So the show is because it's a parody burlesque show,
Speaker 23: it has a comedy asset to it, right, So on
Speaker 23: top of the comedy asset, there's a lot of i'm
Speaker 23: gonna say, audience participation moments. Okay, and it's me and
Speaker 23: another dude, okay, So we have a little skit where
Speaker 23: it's I don't want to give anything away, but it's
Speaker 23: an audience participation moment and it it's your blood flowing.
Speaker 23: It makes things a little spicy, it guess. But just
Speaker 23: as the ladies we have a little bit less moment.
Speaker 23: We have, you know, a little bit of clothes taken off.
Speaker 23: But it's the difference I would say with you know,
Speaker 23: a ship called what you're talking about or is it's
Speaker 23: more sensual instead of like overtly you know what I mean?
Speaker 23: It's it's more like a classy way to like. It's
Speaker 23: it's like a tease. It's not like a poem in
Speaker 23: your face tea.
Speaker 5: And I have to say Didavon Tea is really I
Speaker 5: think we'll just call her the godmother of modern burlesque
Speaker 5: because she brought the art form back, yes, and has
Speaker 5: had such stunning success and she every And I have
Speaker 5: a few friends who are in burlesque troops in other
Speaker 5: places and they're like, ah dita, you know so, but
Speaker 5: it's taken off.
Speaker 22: It has there's a huge burlesque movement here in Denver.
Speaker 22: If you don't know about that right now, there are
Speaker 22: a lot of troops that are performing burlesque. Of course,
Speaker 22: the Clockwork Cabaret, it does an amazing job there. Ophelia's
Speaker 22: den had used to host the National Burlesque Competition. Denver
Speaker 22: is really really kind of a before this type of
Speaker 22: performance art right now.
Speaker 5: Do you think it's because it allows you to sort
Speaker 5: of push the envelope without pushing it too far exactly?
Speaker 22: I mean, it's it's something that you can enjoy. You
Speaker 22: can see the costumes, the spectacle.
Speaker 5: The spectacle is a line at the production. The little
Speaker 5: snippets that are online and I was shocked at the
Speaker 5: production value. Yes, I mean they're very impressive.
Speaker 4: They are.
Speaker 9: That's why I'm saying this is a Vegas style show.
Speaker 22: I mean we have I referenced to the splash zone
Speaker 22: a little earlier, the very large champagne cup with a
Speaker 22: dancer in it.
Speaker 5: You don't know, you have to understand, when I was
Speaker 5: a kid, I always wanted to like the Honeymoon in
Speaker 5: the Poconos, sure, because I wanted to be in the
Speaker 5: champagne glass hot tubs. And there's just like some nostalgia
Speaker 5: there with the champagne glass that I have to admit
Speaker 5: to because that just always looks so cool.
Speaker 9: Yeah, the production values here are amazing.
Speaker 22: The costumes, the staging, the direction, the choreography, all of
Speaker 22: that brings so much higher level to all of this.
Speaker 22: Both of these these dancers are incredible. The heights that
Speaker 22: Brandon gets to it is just amazing on this stage.
Speaker 22: So I highly encourage anyone who is a little bit
Speaker 22: hesitant because they're not sure about this type of situation.
Speaker 22: This is absolute a very very very highly wonderful show.
Speaker 22: It's not you don't throw dollars on the stage, you
Speaker 22: don't touch any.
Speaker 5: On the stage.
Speaker 2: What roles.
Speaker 5: Do you play in the show?
Speaker 18: I play several. I'm leatherface, I played Jason.
Speaker 5: Of course you were born to play I think so,
Speaker 5: I think you.
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And do you have the Jason music? Please tell me
Speaker 5: have the Jason music?
Speaker 20: I know?
Speaker 5: Is it copyrighted?
Speaker 22: It's actually our music for the show is a highly
Speaker 22: curated special set of music that as the parody.
Speaker 9: It's so incredible, Okay, so incredible.
Speaker 18: I also am Jake saw.
Speaker 9: What else do I pay.
Speaker 5: This show?
Speaker 9: Are you still in the I'm a nun?
Speaker 13: Yes, pinhead?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 7: What else?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 9: I think that's all of them.
Speaker 5: How did you They just looked at you and like,
Speaker 5: she can play everyone evil in this show? A fine job?
Speaker 5: What can I say?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Now, when you guys started working on this show, and
Speaker 5: I'll ask all three of you this, like, at any
Speaker 5: point did you say, well, this is kind of crazy, right,
Speaker 5: I mean, we're making a Halloween show that's burlesque that's
Speaker 5: also funny, but it almost feels like a throwback to
Speaker 5: Vaudeville in a way, that kind of way you're describing
Speaker 5: it a little bit where it encompasses everything.
Speaker 22: Yeah, I love burlesque personally, and I do a lot
Speaker 22: of theater around town. And so the thing that happened though,
Speaker 22: is that I worked with Empire Strips back when it
Speaker 22: was here last year. We're going to talk about that
Speaker 22: and much is our Star Wars burlesque show. I loved
Speaker 22: it because I'm such a major Star Wars fan and
Speaker 22: it was such a good show. So when they called
Speaker 22: me to ask me to work this show, I said,
Speaker 22: this is the perfect follow up. This is just blow
Speaker 22: my mind. I can't believe somebody thought of this. It's
Speaker 22: really good.
Speaker 5: Now there's taking the show to other cities. Will you
Speaker 5: guys be going Are they going to recast in other cities?
Speaker 5: Or do you know how that word they're They're giving
Speaker 5: me the look like we do not know the answer.
Speaker 5: It's a way up there.
Speaker 22: There is another cast in San Francisco. San Francisco is
Speaker 22: the next city this show is going to.
Speaker 9: In fact, it is in rehearsals right now.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, So I mean when you went back Brandon
Speaker 5: and you said to your friend, Oh, I just got
Speaker 5: this cool job and I'm working in this burlesque show
Speaker 5: about all of the serial like murderers in the horror movies.
Speaker 23: And what does your friends say, Well, I mean, I'm
Speaker 23: originally from New York City, right, so this is kind
Speaker 23: of normal.
Speaker 17: It's not really out of the ordinary.
Speaker 23: You know, I've been a professional dancer for like ten
Speaker 23: fifteen years, so I've been You look.
Speaker 5: Like you're like fifteen years old.
Speaker 9: By the way, thank you.
Speaker 17: I just turned thirty one.
Speaker 5: Oh, congratulations to you. Whatever skincare regime you're doing that,
Speaker 5: keep up that good work.
Speaker 17: Thank you so much.
Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean it's when I explain everything, like, because
Speaker 23: if you explain it separately, you're gonna look at me like,
Speaker 23: what right do you so? Halloween parody but also burlesque
Speaker 23: at the same time, like it it doesn't seem like
Speaker 23: it makes sense. And even when I like got hired
Speaker 23: for it, I was kind of thinking like that too,
Speaker 23: you know, I'm like, how is this gonna how does
Speaker 23: it work?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 9: How does it work?
Speaker 17: How is it gonna look? How's it gonna?
Speaker 11: Like?
Speaker 17: How are they gonna put everything together?
Speaker 23: But then, honestly, like once we finally started getting into
Speaker 23: everything and like the show, after the first week of
Speaker 23: the shows, we were like, oh, okay, but.
Speaker 5: Don't you love it when you see a plan come together?
Speaker 5: Like I've always loved the creative process and working with
Speaker 5: other people, especially when you kind of don't know how
Speaker 5: it's gonna turn out, and then all of a sudden
Speaker 5: you're part of it and you start to see it
Speaker 5: all gel and it's it's a very powerful experience to
Speaker 5: create an artistic endeavor from scratch.
Speaker 8: It just is.
Speaker 22: It's the best life, It really is. I've seen the
Speaker 22: show fifty four times now, and.
Speaker 2: Well we are.
Speaker 22: And I love it every single time. It's amazing. And
Speaker 22: you should see the ladies go nuts for ghost Face
Speaker 22: and Mike Myers when Brandon and his compatriot even come out.
Speaker 5: It is crazy. Well, it's anything like women do at
Speaker 5: a mail strip review. I got to tell you, I
Speaker 5: am embarrassed for my gender when I see that kind
Speaker 5: of behavior. Is just shocking to me.
Speaker 22: Mostly most of the time people behave themselves, but I
Speaker 22: get to handle the.
Speaker 9: Ones who don't.
Speaker 5: So let me ask you, guys, because Kelly's talked extensively
Speaker 5: about this is an athletic group of performers. What is
Speaker 5: your athletic routine?
Speaker 12: What do you mean by that?
Speaker 5: You do just dance toward Don't get me wrong, they
Speaker 5: just dance. If you're dancing eight hours a day. That
Speaker 5: is a tremendous amount of exercise. But do you have
Speaker 5: other things that you do to keep in shape?
Speaker 18: Oh yeah, I mean I'm a personal trainer, so I
Speaker 18: strength train all the things.
Speaker 9: I also teach dance.
Speaker 17: You can speak on like gymnastics. Yeah, I go to
Speaker 17: the gym every day. I look small, but licks of
Speaker 17: deceiving you know.
Speaker 8: You mean?
Speaker 23: And uh, I'm a former gymnast that was a competitive
Speaker 23: gymnast all the way up until I was sixteen seventeen.
Speaker 23: So and also the other male dancer is a former
Speaker 23: like huge competitive cheerleader.
Speaker 5: Weill still. Yeah, we tumble a.
Speaker 23: Lot in the show too, and we break dance and
Speaker 23: we do all those type of things. So it's just
Speaker 23: a lot of athletic dancing. Like and with this is
Speaker 23: you think bur lesque, You think subtle movement, you soft?
Speaker 5: These these girls are full out.
Speaker 23: Yeah, Like they're dancing super full out with a giant
Speaker 23: heavy mask on and not no.
Speaker 24: Vision is always fun. It has a question for you guys. Yes,
Speaker 24: guys that are going burlesquesh. I can't wait to go
Speaker 24: to bless. Even Dave Fraser was mocking iLiad's gonna helpen time. No, no, no,
Speaker 24: now I'm the ten percent of guys that are here
Speaker 24: for the amazing kickstart to my Halloween horror genre season.
Speaker 24: So can you guys pitch to me how satisfying this
Speaker 24: will be in terms of the entire horror genre And
Speaker 24: like you mentioned, all the different characters you play will
Speaker 24: how satisfied will that be for me in that realm?
Speaker 22: Well, you will never see Freddie or Jason or Mike
Speaker 22: Myers or ghost Face in the same way. Again, everyone
Speaker 22: else you ever see dressed as those characters will seem
Speaker 22: like complete posers. So not he's my eighties language there,
Speaker 22: But yeah, Freddy is in the huge champagne cup. Oh
Speaker 22: my god, that's incredible. Leather Face, which she referenced, is
Speaker 22: pretty amazing. We have the slash streaked boys, do you perform?
Speaker 22: Which is a highlight for me personally my favorite are
Speaker 22: going to have to double back?
Speaker 6: Actually because I ask twice, not triple back? Splash Zone.
Speaker 16: These people, these people that are getting tickets, you're surely
Speaker 16: be siting on VIP.
Speaker 3: What what are we?
Speaker 6: What are we talking about?
Speaker 3: Here?
Speaker 6: Was splash Zone.
Speaker 9: It's not a huge splash like you get at water World.
Speaker 22: Our dancer, we have two dancers that do that particular scene,
Speaker 22: they will slop a little bit.
Speaker 9: Out of the cup. If you are in the front
Speaker 9: row of.
Speaker 25: VIP champagne glass yass okay, So if you're in the
Speaker 25: front row of the VIP uh, we usually tell our
Speaker 25: customers to pull their drinks back a little bit.
Speaker 2: We cover.
Speaker 5: I'm going to top on that the rest of.
Speaker 22: The theater that you're not going to get it. You're
Speaker 22: just going to see those vi P people get a
Speaker 22: little sprinkle.
Speaker 5: I just had someone on the text line ask what
Speaker 5: ages are appropriate hair?
Speaker 22: It is an eighteen and overshow okay? We do We
Speaker 22: do ask that only eighteen in upcome. We do have
Speaker 22: a bar, so the bar will card you, but eighteen

Speaker 22: a lady who was like celebrating her eighty six birthday.
Speaker 22: Ye a lot of be like her when I grow
Speaker 22: up to eighty six, wheeled in the wheelchair and she
Speaker 22: had the best time of that is.
Speaker 5: Well, you know what, in eighty six, you just don't
Speaker 5: care anymore, do you. You're just like I got zero
Speaker 5: blanks to give.
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna go.

Speaker 5: out of time. Let's talk about Empire Strips Bashu, which
Speaker 5: is coming next year. Next gonna be next year's performance
Speaker 5: that I looked at a bunch of videos on that.
Speaker 5: That is crazy. The accuracy of Java the hut alone
Speaker 5: is incredible. So tell me a little bit about that one.

Speaker 22: by several of our crew.

Speaker 22: And for the ladies, Hans Solo and Shubaka do some
Speaker 22: really amazing means.
Speaker 5: I love that, you know, taking something like horror movies
Speaker 5: or taking something like Star Wars and turning it into
Speaker 5: something that's a little ridiculous and over the top, but
Speaker 5: it sort of acknowledges like, Okay, nerds, we have this
Speaker 5: for you now in a weird way. So are you
Speaker 5: guys going to try and participate in that one as well?
Speaker 21: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean, have you you're been a professional dancer for

Speaker 18: the house, everyone there. We get along so well. It's
Speaker 18: been such a good experience.
Speaker 5: I think it's kind of got to be hard to
Speaker 5: be upset or angry or or anything other than kind
Speaker 5: of joyful doing this kind of stuff, you know.
Speaker 8: What I mean.
Speaker 22: Yeahh that's absolutely the case. And so all our patrons
