I 379 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:49.480 don't want to do one hundred push ups today because 380 00:16:49.480 --> 00:16:50.000 I hate them. 381 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.240 No, it brings us back to the beginning of this 382 00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.320 story for whatever reason. I mean, I can do anything else. 383 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.480 I don't like some other exercise. I don't like tricep dips. 384 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.480 All got big triceps. Now it's kind of cool. 385 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.759 I kind of want to take my headphones off and 386 00:17:04.799 --> 00:17:05.960 do do a plank right now? 387 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:06.240 How long? 388 00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:09.319 Okay, we've got how many time? How long until we 389 00:17:09.359 --> 00:17:09.680 have to bring? 390 00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:11.079 Oh well, I'm not gonna do for four minutes. 391 00:17:11.400 --> 00:17:13.319 Well that's why I asked you. How long we had 392 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:15.680 until we had to bring Yeah, we have three and 393 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.359 a half minutes. 394 00:17:16.400 --> 00:17:19.319 Okay, you're get a plank for two minutes. 395 00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:20.720 Well, just tell me how long I want a plank 396 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:21.039 grind out? 397 00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:21.799 You want to do it? 398 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:24.240 Okay, I'll tell you when to go here, go ahead, 399 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:27.119 assume the position. He's gonna have to figure that out. 400 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.960 Turn your mic off so you can hear me. Are 401 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:33.680 you ready? Okay, and go okay. He's down now, and 402 00:17:34.640 --> 00:17:36.359 we'll just let him do that for two minutes while 403 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:40.359 I talk. My favorite exercise is flip flopping love Kamala Harris. 404 00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.720 That's very funny. Text her, Mandy. 405 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.319 I'm a runner who's had several injuries and starting a 406 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:48.440 twenty minute yoga flow every day. My injuries have disappeared. 407 00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:52.359 Hips and knees are thriving now. Yoga is a miracle drug. 408 00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:56.799 I do believe that Mandy doing one hundred pushups is 409 00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.319 not good for your joints. Twelve to twenty five is 410 00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:04.079 doable if done properly. Mandy can't run trying to avoid 411 00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.799 the knee replacement, trying to do the peloton two to 412 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:09.000 three times a week, six to ten miles a ride. 413 00:18:09.119 --> 00:18:11.640 Okay. I don't like riding a bike either. I don't 414 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:13.880 love it. I never have. Even when I was a kid, 415 00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:15.680 kids were like, hey, let's go ride bikes. I'm like, 416 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:22.880 you know, I'll just grab a skateboard. It'll be fine, Uh, Mandy. 417 00:18:23.319 --> 00:18:26.240 People who never skip a day of exercise are mentally off. 418 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.359 What would the purpose be of going for a job 419 00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:32.119 when it's six inches of and six degrees and snowing outside, 420 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.680 other than being able to tell people that you did it? 421 00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:38.680 Now, I used to believe that text, but. 422 00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:41.759 Now I have to have some kind of movement in 423 00:18:41.880 --> 00:18:45.759 my day or I'm just kind of cranky, A little 424 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:49.119 bit cranky over there, that's all. So now I get it, 425 00:18:50.599 --> 00:18:53.680 Mandy even better than the lunges Genufleck to borrow a 426 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:59.440 religious term, we call those curtsy lunges. And currently I 427 00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:03.240 am reh having a knee injury, so I cannot Curtsey lunch. 428 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:09.759 Somebody said, now I know why neither of you were 429 00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:14.880 in the military. No willpower. Yeah, that's probably why I 430 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:20.440 didn't join the military voluntarily, because you know what, you 431 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:21.039 were so close? 432 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.119 You made one forty five one? 433 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:27.039 No, I looked up, it was twenty three thirty was 434 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:27.319 my car? 435 00:19:27.559 --> 00:19:29.359 Twenty three forty five is when you went down? 436 00:19:29.519 --> 00:19:30.480 No, I felt like two minutes. 437 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:31.559 No, it was no. 438 00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:35.400 I felt good. I'm glad you did that. I already 439 00:19:35.440 --> 00:19:36.640 did my workout today. I'm good. 440 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:38.759 Fine, I just did it too. 441 00:19:38.799 --> 00:19:41.759 Fer Oh, listen to this off topic text. 442 00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:45.200 My wife counted twenty two expired license plates on our 443 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:47.720 way home from work last night. One was dated twenty 444 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:50.480 twenty two. Well, hopefully some of those people are going 445 00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:51.279 to get some tickets. 446 00:19:51.640 --> 00:19:56.559 Man the core, the core oohoo sounds good. 447 00:19:56.839 --> 00:19:59.599 Uh, Mandy, try a rower. I love a rower, but 448 00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.200 my husband does not. 449 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.400 So we had a rower, and I hope the people 450 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:07.240 who bought it from you are enjoying it. But we 451 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:09.400 gotta have treadmill, which I actually love having a treadmill, 452 00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:11.480 especially when winter is coming up, and it's a really 453 00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:12.039 good treadmill. 454 00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.759 So I'm kind of excited about that. Anyway. So when 455 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:17.640 we get back, we're gonna actually do some stuff on 456 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:18.240 the show today. 457 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:20.960 Sorry, I just squandered the entire first segment, but this 458 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.039 is what's on my mind. And now seeing the text line, 459 00:20:24.119 --> 00:20:29.519 everyone hates some kind of exercise, so there you go. Uh, 460 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.079 this is funny, Mandy. I don't really, I really just 461 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:34.680 don't like working out in the morning. I get no 462 00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:36.319 value from it. I can work out in the evening 463 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.759 and then I'll sleep like a baby. That's hilarious because 464 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:42.200 by the evening time, zero percent chance that's happening in 465 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.480 my household. I am an early riser, Get up, work out, 466 00:20:45.640 --> 00:20:48.640 get it out of my day and be done with it. Hey, 467 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:50.440 but you know what, this is what makes the world 468 00:20:50.480 --> 00:20:54.359 go round. Viva a different my friends. We'll be right back, 469 00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:57.440 joined by our friend and a smart weather guy, Dave 470 00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:58.720 Frasier from Box thirty one. 471 00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:01.599 Hello Dave, Hey, good afternoon. 472 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:03.599 I really enjoyed the Richard Simmons segment at. 473 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:04.160 The top of the show. 474 00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:10.799 But you know what exercise do you? A, Dave? Everybody 475 00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:11.279 has one. 476 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:14.559 Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard 477 00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:17.440 of the comedian Johnannette, Like you said, guy talks all 478 00:21:17.480 --> 00:21:19.319 about food and exercise. 479 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:20.319 I have not. 480 00:21:20.640 --> 00:21:21.759 I'm gonna have to go look him up. 481 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:25.720 Check out Jumping at He's fantastic and he first life 482 00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.519 tried to lose weight and he hider trainer and the 483 00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:30.720 trainer said we're going to start with some push ups 484 00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:32.599 and some sit ups. And he stopped and he said, listen, 485 00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:33.799 I don't do ups, I. 486 00:21:33.799 --> 00:21:34.319 Do down. 487 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:38.480 All right. 488 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:40.480 Then there's my exercise routine. 489 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:43.519 Okay, no problem then, So I just want to say 490 00:21:43.519 --> 00:21:46.799 a big fat thank you. This weather right now is spectacular. 491 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.039 How long do we get to keep this. 492 00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:54.839 For the next week. The seven day forecast, even I 493 00:21:54.920 --> 00:21:57.880 could extend that out to ten days, shows us staying dry. 494 00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:02.200 We just don't see any pattern shifts coming. It is 495 00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:05.079 a little warm. We're running about ten degrees above normal, 496 00:22:05.359 --> 00:22:09.400 and it is still possible that tomorrow and maybe on Sunday, 497 00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:14.240 we could reach ninety again, which isn't the latest we've 498 00:22:14.279 --> 00:22:17.319 seen a ninety degree temperature, but it's certainly something most 499 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:20.039 people don't want to deal with. But I've been stressing 500 00:22:20.079 --> 00:22:22.440 the last few days. While those temperatures are very warm 501 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:24.200 for this time of the year and it has been dry, 502 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.000 the reality is it's not like summer heat, right because 503 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:30.839 you're loving it because you go into the evenings and 504 00:22:30.960 --> 00:22:32.960 it just cools down so quickly, and the organizer are 505 00:22:33.000 --> 00:22:36.160 so refreshing. So that's the benefit of September, all right. 506 00:22:36.640 --> 00:22:39.519 I have a question from a listener that texts in 507 00:22:39.680 --> 00:22:42.640 a little bit, Mandy. Can you ask Dave Frasier about 508 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:47.359 weather conditions that create jet contrails. Some days there are 509 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.039 lots of them, other days not so much. 510 00:22:50.680 --> 00:22:52.440 It just has to do with the moisture in the 511 00:22:52.559 --> 00:22:56.039 high upper atmosphere. So when we have a day, let's 512 00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:58.680 take today for instance, if you have a day like 513 00:22:58.759 --> 00:23:01.960 today and it's completely sunning outside and you're looking up, 514 00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:05.160 I mean there's nothing but blue skies overhead. The air 515 00:23:05.319 --> 00:23:08.720 over us right now is extremely dry. So the number 516 00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:10.920 of jets going in and out of DIA flying over 517 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:14.079 Colorado the same today as they were yesterday. If you 518 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.200 add in moisture at higher levels, then the contrails will 519 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:20.160 become more visual and evidence. So it's just a matter 520 00:23:20.240 --> 00:23:22.359 of moisture in the atmosphere, and right now we're just 521 00:23:22.440 --> 00:23:24.440 too dry for that. So I mean, look up at 522 00:23:24.440 --> 00:23:26.599 the sky. You know there's planes out there, no evidence 523 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:29.200 that they're flying around. But if we seed a little 524 00:23:29.240 --> 00:23:32.920 higher humidity into the higher atmosphere, the contrails, the pressurization 525 00:23:33.359 --> 00:23:36.400 of the jet kind of condensing the moisture in the air, 526 00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:38.680 then you can see the streets in the sky. So 527 00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:41.680 just not the setup we have mass. It's all about moisture, Okay. 528 00:23:41.839 --> 00:23:43.119 So I wanted to ask you. 529 00:23:44.000 --> 00:23:47.880 We've got Hurricane Helene barreling towards the Gulf coast of Florida, 530 00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:50.319 and you know it's going to hit my friends in 531 00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:52.519 my hometown, not directly, but they're going to have a 532 00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:56.519 lot of rain and wind. This hurricane season has been 533 00:23:57.480 --> 00:24:01.640 far quieter than was anticipated, far quieter. 534 00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:02.920 Yep, yep. 535 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:04.960 Yeah. As a matter of fact, I mean only the 536 00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:09.440 sixth hurricane, and it's going to be the second one 537 00:24:09.519 --> 00:24:11.279 for that area. I don't know if you'll remember Debbie 538 00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.319 hit back there in the Big Bend area of Florida 539 00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:17.400 on August fifth of this year, so they haven't had 540 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:20.200 much of a break there in the Panhandle. Debbie was 541 00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:23.119 only a Category one when it came ashore near Tallahassee, 542 00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:26.359 and it caused a lot of damage related to flooding, 543 00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:28.480 and then it kind of went kind across Georgia and 544 00:24:28.640 --> 00:24:31.359 went back into the Atlantic before turning back into the Carolinas. 545 00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.559 This one's going to be stronger. We're talking about potentially 546 00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.200 a Category three hurricane. So the wines are going to 547 00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:39.279 be you know, up past one hundred and ten to 548 00:24:39.359 --> 00:24:41.240 maybe one hundred and thirty, so you're going to have 549 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:43.799 more wind component, you are going to have a low 550 00:24:43.880 --> 00:24:47.400 line flying from heavy rain, but also from the storm 551 00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:50.359 surge that rise in water that comes ashore. They're also 552 00:24:50.519 --> 00:24:53.440 warning of rip currents, dangerous rip currents because the storm's 553 00:24:53.440 --> 00:24:56.400 coming in perpendicular to the coast. And so the waves 554 00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:58.400 will be curling away from the coast. Of course, that's 555 00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:01.039 only an issue if people go into the water, and 556 00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:02.640 they will Gridians, Yeah, they will. 557 00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:04.200 There will be people that will go into the water. 558 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:05.000 I can tell you that now. 559 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:06.200 I know. 560 00:25:06.319 --> 00:25:09.519 It's just amazing. You see these waves in its category 561 00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:11.519 two or three, and there they are. I was just 562 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:14.559 kind of taking advantage of the syrup. So category three. 563 00:25:14.640 --> 00:25:18.640 Can can do is extremely destructive. 564 00:25:20.559 --> 00:25:23.400 I moved to Southwest Florida right after Hurricane Charlie, which 565 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:26.119 was a Category three when it made landfall at Puntagoda, Florida. 566 00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:29.000 And when you drove down I seventy five, the eye 567 00:25:29.119 --> 00:25:32.799 of the storm had tracked directly over I seventy five 568 00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:36.279 after it came in off of the coastline, and on 569 00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:39.160 one side of I seventy five, all of the you 570 00:25:39.240 --> 00:25:41.720 know those giant light poles they have on an interstate, 571 00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.839 they're massive. All of the trees on the on the 572 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.359 one side were flattened in one direction, and all of 573 00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:50.799 the trees and light poles on the other side were 574 00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:52.559 flattened in the opposite direction. 575 00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:54.640 Oh yeah, it was crazy. 576 00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:57.079 I mean it was like what just happened here? Because 577 00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:01.480 you know it was. It was really it destroyed that 578 00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:02.559 entire part of Florida. 579 00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:04.480 But it's rebuilds even better, So there you go. You 580 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.000 never know, Pudza Borda wasn't exactly nice before this. 581 00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:12.119 This area's been hard hit. I mean Adelia back in 582 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:15.799 August of twenty twenty three, and then you had hurricanes 583 00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:18.839 hit that same area in twenty sixteen, seventeen, and eighteen. 584 00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:21.400 So that part of the country, as you're well aware, 585 00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:23.599 it just doesn't get a break. And so this one 586 00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:26.200 will also bring heavy rain. Some of the heaviest rain 587 00:26:26.559 --> 00:26:28.680 will be on the northwest side of the storm, which 588 00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:31.440 is typical, and that's going to drive heavy rain as 589 00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:33.960 much as a foot up towards Atlanta not even have 590 00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:37.519 urbanized flooding. Yeah, it can be just a huge problem 591 00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:40.200 for those folks as well. So and you know, I 592 00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:43.400 did you mentioned that it's been a little quiet. I'm 593 00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.000 no hurricane expert, having you know, forecast most of my 594 00:26:46.119 --> 00:26:50.240 career inland, but I've been reading some published papers and stuff, 595 00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:53.839 and one of the compounding factors they believe is Saharan dust. 596 00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:56.960 There's a lot more of it in the upper atmosphere 597 00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:00.359 drifting over the Atlantic and not allowing the war to 598 00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:02.720 warm to the levels that they had expected. So the 599 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.400 forecast for the hurricane season has been reduced a couple 600 00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:08.279 of times because of that. The number of hurricanes and 601 00:27:08.319 --> 00:27:10.960 the number of main storms, and the number of major storms. 602 00:27:11.079 --> 00:27:13.279 A Category three would be a major storm. 603 00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:14.240 Oh that's a major storm. 604 00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:16.359 That's a I would not I'll stick around through a 605 00:27:16.400 --> 00:27:18.119 Cat too, but I will not stick around through a 606 00:27:18.200 --> 00:27:21.559 Cat three because it's it's incredibly destructive and it's going 607 00:27:21.599 --> 00:27:24.000 to be incredibly destructive when it lands. So I got 608 00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:25.880 one more question from a listener. I want to get 609 00:27:25.880 --> 00:27:28.359 in before we go here. Can the direction of the 610 00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:33.839 wind preceding a thunderstorm predict the direction the storm is moving? 611 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:36.920 And this is like, okay, so I am south of here, 612 00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.480 and when the storms are coming from the north, the wind. 613 00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:44.000 Is whipping up from the south. So does that mean 614 00:27:44.079 --> 00:27:47.119 that the wind is what pulling it? How does that work? 615 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:50.599 So no, it's not going to tell you the direction 616 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.079 it's moving. The direction the storms are going to move 617 00:27:53.599 --> 00:27:56.119 is based on the mid level winds that are pushing 618 00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:58.960 them along. They can also form on a cold punch, 619 00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:01.359 so they'll line up along the could front and march. 620 00:28:01.160 --> 00:28:01.680 As a team. 621 00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:05.039 But generally what you have is you have a giant vacuum. 622 00:28:05.720 --> 00:28:08.839 So the wind ahead of the storm is being sucked in. 623 00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:11.559 So as the storm is approaching you, the wind is 624 00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:14.680 probably going to come from you to the storm, so 625 00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.559 it's drawing the wind up. So depending on your location, 626 00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:20.000 that wind could be coming in from an easterly direction 627 00:28:20.440 --> 00:28:23.880 or a southeasterly direction. As the storm passes, you can 628 00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:25.880 get a cold outflow and the wind will go in 629 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:28.680 the opposite direction. We track out clothed boundaries all the time, 630 00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:32.599 so the wind within the individual thunderstorm is going to 631 00:28:32.680 --> 00:28:34.799 be erratic. It's going to be sucking in ahead of 632 00:28:34.839 --> 00:28:37.799 it and potentially blowing out behind it, and those directions 633 00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:40.839 are going to change. But the overall movement of the 634 00:28:40.920 --> 00:28:44.480 thunderstorms is going to be driven by generally a southwesterly wind, 635 00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:48.319 So storms will migrate from southwest to northeast in most instances, 636 00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:50.640 not always the case, and can always get what we 637 00:28:50.680 --> 00:28:54.880 call a backdoor cold front, so it's not always indicative 638 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:57.279 of which way the storm is going to move, all right. 639 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:00.599 Dave Rasier, another informative we need to announced what our 640 00:29:00.599 --> 00:29:01.920 weather is going to be like, I guess we kind 641 00:29:01.920 --> 00:29:03.599 of brushed on a little bit talking about how nice 642 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:06.279 it is, so no big one coming up, is what 643 00:29:06.599 --> 00:29:07.039 you're saying. 644 00:29:07.920 --> 00:29:10.799 Yeah, no, you know, a rob was asking me about Halloween. 645 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:12.119 Any chance it's going to be nasty? 646 00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:12.279 You know. 647 00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:15.039 The outlook for October still looks warm and drier than normal. 648 00:29:15.279 --> 00:29:18.400 That's been the pattern through September. Our first breeze is 649 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:20.839 usually the seventh of the month of October. We just 650 00:29:20.880 --> 00:29:23.119 don't see that happening. Our first know is the eighteenth. 651 00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:25.279 I think that's a stretch this year, so you just 652 00:29:25.319 --> 00:29:27.160 may have to wait for a little more of the fault. 653 00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:28.599 Whether we enjoyed this past weekend. 654 00:29:28.799 --> 00:29:30.480 All right, Dave Fraser, we'll talk to you next week, 655 00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:30.920 my friend. 656 00:29:31.759 --> 00:29:32.880 Thanks Manny, No, thank you. 657 00:29:33.880 --> 00:29:34.880 We will be right back. 658 00:29:35.200 --> 00:29:39.000 California Governor Gavin Newsom is making a fool of himself 659 00:29:39.720 --> 00:29:44.559 by trying to limit political speech. I'll explain. In California, 660 00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.759 a new law has been signed into being. It is 661 00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:51.200 set to take effect immediately. This new law makes it 662 00:29:51.240 --> 00:29:55.440 illegal to create and publish deep fakes related to elections. 663 00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:58.720 Hang on, one second, got to pop up there? That 664 00:29:58.880 --> 00:29:59.440 just popped up. 665 00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:04.079 It is illegal to create and publish deep fakes related 666 00:30:04.119 --> 00:30:08.240 to elections one hundred and twenty days before election day and. 667 00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:10.039 Sixty days thereafter. 668 00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:14.000 It also allows courts to stop distribution of the materials 669 00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.200 and impose civil penalties. 670 00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:17.880 This is comical. 671 00:30:19.519 --> 00:30:22.440 The First Amendment doesn't exist to protect your right to 672 00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:24.200 watch pornography. 673 00:30:24.319 --> 00:30:27.160 I mean, it's been interpreted that way, but. 674 00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:29.640 That's not why the founding fathers thought that it was 675 00:30:29.720 --> 00:30:31.960 important to let everybody know you had the right to 676 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.880 free speech in the United States of America when they 677 00:30:34.960 --> 00:30:36.319 drafted up the Bill of Rights. 678 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:39.680 I mean, it's right there in the first one. Like 679 00:30:39.799 --> 00:30:42.319 that to me says we think this one's kind of important. 680 00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:46.839 But the speech they were protecting was political speech, and 681 00:30:47.200 --> 00:30:50.440 like it or not, deep fakes and the production thereof 682 00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:55.440 is political speech. So any limits that are trying to 683 00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:57.200 keep it out, well, that would be like saying, you 684 00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:00.720 know what, you can't air any commercials for one hundred 685 00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:02.920 and twenty days before an election. Nope, you can't do it. 686 00:31:02.920 --> 00:31:08.200 It's as nine. This will be struck down one hundred percent. 687 00:31:09.079 --> 00:31:11.480 And I would imagine that there's probably organizations that are 688 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:14.960 trying to be the first that faces penalties so they 689 00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:16.519 can be the one to take the Supreme Court and 690 00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:19.359 have it struck down. Now, if California wants to say 691 00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:23.799 something along the lines of deep fakes must be identified 692 00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:28.759 as deep fakes during this time of the election or whatever, 693 00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:32.440 you know, you could make an argument there, just like 694 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:36.920 you have to disclose who pays for political advertising. You 695 00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:42.880 could make those same kind of declarations necessary. But when 696 00:31:42.920 --> 00:31:45.519 I saw this, I was like, what the Democrats are 697 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:50.920 becoming increasingly hostile to free speech because they want to 698 00:31:50.960 --> 00:31:54.400 control it all and never have to answer for anything 699 00:31:54.440 --> 00:31:57.480 that they might find unpleasant. And rather than just doing 700 00:31:57.559 --> 00:32:00.240 what everybody is supposed to do, which is answer bad 701 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:02.920 speech with good speech, they. 702 00:32:02.839 --> 00:32:03.880 Want to shut it all down. 703 00:32:04.720 --> 00:32:07.720 And as you recall, they want to shut down things 704 00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:11.359 like the origins of COVID, they want to shut down 705 00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:13.160 the Hunter by the laptop. 706 00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:15.000 I wonder why. 707 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:19.039 It's very specific the things they want to shut down. 708 00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:22.000 And now we have more and more Democrats. AOC has 709 00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:23.799 come out and said something to the effect of this 710 00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:26.119 free speech business has to be rained in. 711 00:32:26.279 --> 00:32:27.880 She didn't say it like that, but she's done it. 712 00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:28.559 Kind of life. 713 00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:29.119 You know that. 714 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:34.000 Nancy Pelosi has aired now said we have to do 715 00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:37.839 something about misinformation and disinformation. The problem is is that 716 00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:41.160 we don't get to know who's deciding what is misinformation 717 00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:44.240 or disinformation. As we saw on the last election cycle 718 00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:47.960 when it's partisans, the information that its censored is very 719 00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:54.000 specifically helpful to one side of the aisle. So no, no, 720 00:32:54.160 --> 00:32:59.519 Gavin Newsom. And by the way, Elon Musk, it must be. 721 00:32:59.799 --> 00:33:02.079 The only reason I would ever want to be like 722 00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:06.720 Elon Musk rich is because I actually, how rich do 723 00:33:06.759 --> 00:33:07.240 you think you have. 724 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:08.319 To be before? 725 00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:11.200 You just have what you view as few money and 726 00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:14.359 you're basically like, oh, yeah, Gavin Newsom, here's what I'm 727 00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:16.799 gonna do. I'm gonna encourage people to post deep fake 728 00:33:16.920 --> 00:33:20.160 videos of you on x come and get me like, 729 00:33:20.279 --> 00:33:21.960 how rich do you have to be? Because that's few 730 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:26.680 money right there? Jk Rowling in her stance against the 731 00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:32.400 transiting of our children, she has few money. She doesn't 732 00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:36.480 need another dime, and she'll be just fine for the 733 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:38.599 rest of her life and the rest of her children's lives. 734 00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:43.359 Right So, Elon Musk has few money. That's the only 735 00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:44.680 reason I would want to be that rich. 736 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.599 Seems like there's a lot of annoying pressure that comes 737 00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:50.759 along with that kind of money and you can't just 738 00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.400 kind of live, well, you could live under the radar. 739 00:33:53.440 --> 00:33:57.160 The Walton's kind of live under the radar, I guess. Yeah, 740 00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:59.920 So that's gonna be fun to watch, and we'll see 741 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:04.079 exactly when they try to bring it to Colorado, because yeah, 742 00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:06.799 I'm sure that'll happen sooner or later when we get back. 743 00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:14.519 Public comment has gotten out of control and now Aurora 744 00:34:14.840 --> 00:34:16.639 is taking steps to rein it back in. 745 00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:17.960 I'll explain after this. 746 00:34:18.880 --> 00:34:21.519 The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock 747 00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:23.039 accident and injury lawyers. 748 00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:26.400 No, it's Mandy Connell. 749 00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:34.599 And Connam got. 750 00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:43.800 Snynal keying sad thing. 751 00:34:44.760 --> 00:34:47.400 Well, welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show. 752 00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:49.639 You know, at some points in your future a ride. 753 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:53.880 We need to dip our toe into this Diddy story. 754 00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:56.119 Because I just saw a Twitter thread. 755 00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:57.239 I don't want to get into it now because I 756 00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:58.800 got a bunch of other stuff I want to talk about. 757 00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:02.000 But some of has gathered up a bunch of photographs 758 00:35:02.039 --> 00:35:05.800 of which celebrities were at did these parties, and it 759 00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:07.000 is a who's who. 760 00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:09.320 It's starting to seem like no one's safe. 761 00:35:09.920 --> 00:35:12.679 Well, this certainly goes. 762 00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:17.320 A long way towards, in my mind, validating the stories 763 00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:20.840 that have been told by people like Corey Feldman and 764 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:26.559 about being abused as children in the industry, and you know, 765 00:35:26.679 --> 00:35:29.320 the sort of salaciousness that we all expect. I have 766 00:35:29.480 --> 00:35:32.239 long said that I think if you're a parent who 767 00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:36.119 is moving your kid to Hollywood to pursue a career 768 00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:38.320 in Hollywood when they are children. 769 00:35:38.119 --> 00:35:40.639 You are not a good parent for variety of reasons. 770 00:35:41.639 --> 00:35:42.159 You're just not. 771 00:35:44.039 --> 00:35:50.000 Famous, so corrupting, so corrupting, especially for kids that don't 772 00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:50.840 understand otherwise. 773 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:52.599 Anyway, let me get back to what's local. 774 00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:56.760 The Aurora City Council has been dealing with a few 775 00:35:56.960 --> 00:36:00.559 issues when it comes to public comment, and I am 776 00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:02.559 of the mindset about public comment where I think it 777 00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:07.159 is incredibly important. And yet I've now watched enough and 778 00:36:07.199 --> 00:36:09.039 I'm not talking about Aurora. I'm just talking about in 779 00:36:09.159 --> 00:36:12.159 general city council, county commission meetings to know that a 780 00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.119 vast majority of the time, the people who need to 781 00:36:14.199 --> 00:36:14.639 hear what is. 782 00:36:14.679 --> 00:36:16.199 Being said are generally not paying attention. 783 00:36:16.280 --> 00:36:20.199 Anyway, not to say that it shouldn't happen, but there 784 00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:22.800 has to be a level of decorum that is observed. 785 00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:25.480 Otherwise the meetings go on forever. 786 00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:29.199 And nobody was ever convinced by having a bunch of 787 00:36:29.239 --> 00:36:32.320 people standing in a room yelling at them. You know, 788 00:36:33.599 --> 00:36:39.280 maybe they capitulate, but they're not convinced. And yet in Aurra, 789 00:36:39.440 --> 00:36:41.840 two things have been happening. Number One, they have allowed 790 00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:45.719 comment when they are because they stream all the meetings, 791 00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:49.320 so they've allowed comment to come in via phone or 792 00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:53.679 online as part of the meetings. And now people hiding 793 00:36:53.800 --> 00:37:00.559 behind handsets are calling in and making disparaging race and 794 00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:06.840 anti LGBTQ comments during the meetings. And so in order 795 00:37:06.920 --> 00:37:10.280 to prevent that, they are no longer going to allow 796 00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:11.400 remote commentary. 797 00:37:12.480 --> 00:37:14.519 And if people have trouble. 798 00:37:14.280 --> 00:37:17.719 Making it to the meeting, then they could ask someone 799 00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:22.480 else if they would go make a statement on their behalf. 800 00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:26.239 The second thing is that they are no longer going 801 00:37:26.280 --> 00:37:28.000 to allow people to sign up for the meetings like 802 00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:33.519 three hours in advance. Why is that Because Taitae Anderson 803 00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:38.800 has been leading protests over the death death of Killing 804 00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:41.119 Lewis at pretty much every meeting. 805 00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:47.719 They're yelling they're carrying on killing Lewis's mother, Ronda. 806 00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:52.119 James has been making public comment during every public comment 807 00:37:52.320 --> 00:37:53.599 period from. 808 00:37:53.440 --> 00:37:56.199 Her home in Georgia. She will no longer be allowed 809 00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:56.639 to do that. 810 00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:05.239 So they're trying to they're trying to allow public comment, 811 00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:08.599 but they're trying to make it less easy for bad 812 00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:11.559 actors to hog the entire period by signing up early 813 00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:17.760 when other people can't get there. So it's sad, really 814 00:38:18.039 --> 00:38:19.679 that it's come to this. And you can make the 815 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:21.760 argument that if you know, if we have a truly 816 00:38:21.840 --> 00:38:24.840 free society, then the white supremacist guy should be able 817 00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:27.000 to yell whatever he wants in a city council meeting, 818 00:38:27.039 --> 00:38:30.920 but that's not generally how it's worked. And as far 819 00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:34.639 as the protests go, I mean, you know, again, no 820 00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:38.760 one has ever been swayed by people standing and yelling 821 00:38:38.920 --> 00:38:39.679 in your face. 822 00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:43.159 That's just not an effective strategy in my mind. So 823 00:38:43.280 --> 00:38:44.760 that's what's happening in Aurora. 824 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:45.079 Now. 825 00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:49.159 Another thing update in Aurora. I am actually seeing this 826 00:38:49.880 --> 00:38:52.840 in the New York Post. I didn't look to see 827 00:38:52.840 --> 00:38:57.280 if they covered it locally here on any of the networks. 828 00:38:58.400 --> 00:38:59.239 From the New York Post. 829 00:38:59.280 --> 00:39:02.440 Police and Aurora, Colorado have charged three suspects from a 830 00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:06.559 viral video that showed heavily armed men breaking into an apartment, 831 00:39:07.039 --> 00:39:09.920 a clip that made the Denver suburb a byword for 832 00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:11.599 the spread of migrant crime. 833 00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:14.960 One of the men has now admitted that. 834 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:20.400 He's a member of the violent Venezuelan gang Arragua, federal 835 00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:23.760 law enforcement sources told the Post. Despite local cops saying 836 00:39:23.880 --> 00:39:27.719 none of the men were connected to the gang, Dee 837 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:32.079 Freit surpa Acosta, twenty years old, fessed up during an 838 00:39:32.119 --> 00:39:35.079 interview with immigration authorities that he was asked if he 839 00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:38.320 had any gang affiliation by immigration officers and has trend 840 00:39:38.400 --> 00:39:41.360 to Agua's signature crown tattoos to prove it. 841 00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:49.760 So weird, so weird. Now, all three of these criminals 842 00:39:49.800 --> 00:39:53.719 have lengthy rap sheets. They've been in and. 843 00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:58.119 Out of the country multiple times, and so we'll see 844 00:39:58.159 --> 00:39:59.599 what happens. I'm sure they're going to be deported and 845 00:39:59.599 --> 00:40:02.519 I'm sure are gonna come right back over the southern 846 00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:04.719 border again. So that's just a fun. 847 00:40:04.639 --> 00:40:09.280 Story about a gang member. What we know is a 848 00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:11.199 gang member, and the. 849 00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:14.360 Fact that he was in those apartments that some people 850 00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:17.239 said had been taken over by gang members, I'm sure 851 00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:22.039 it's not connected. Sure it's completely a coincidence, and that 852 00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:24.800 no other gang members were in that apartment. 853 00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:24.960 Gun. 854 00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:29.079 None, none of those other guys with guns. Nope, not 855 00:40:29.280 --> 00:40:35.199 gang members, just people you know, going dove hunting or something. 856 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:39.039 A couple more local stories that I want to get 857 00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:40.440 to that are just kind of things that I thought 858 00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:42.320 were interesting but not worthy of spending a ton of 859 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:45.280 time on. One of them is that Douglas County has 860 00:40:45.320 --> 00:40:48.079 now approved a camping dand with a fine of up 861 00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:50.199 to one thousand dollars for each violation. Now, as a 862 00:40:50.239 --> 00:40:53.159 Douglas County resident, I can tell you I do not 863 00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:56.559 believe we have a single encampment in Douglas County. Maybe 864 00:40:56.599 --> 00:41:01.440 there are some somewhere, I'm not sure, but I'm happy 865 00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:04.880 that Douglas County is being proactive in this and creating 866 00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:07.800 penalties and dissweding people. And the program that they have 867 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:11.719 in Douglas County called handouts don't help urge people not 868 00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:15.079 to give handouts at intersections, but to donate to the 869 00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:18.400 organizations that do the outreach programs in Douglas County to 870 00:41:18.519 --> 00:41:20.840 help people who are on the fringes or even living 871 00:41:20.920 --> 00:41:21.480 on the streets. 872 00:41:21.519 --> 00:41:22.039 So there you go. 873 00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:25.280 Douglas County now has a camping van, just like Denver does. 874 00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:28.400 By the way, just like Denver does, and we all 875 00:41:28.519 --> 00:41:29.679 know how. 876 00:41:29.639 --> 00:41:31.840 Successful that has been in Denver. 877 00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:35.320 Well, last story, and I wanted to throw this in 878 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:39.360 here because when I go to Cherry Creek, do you 879 00:41:39.400 --> 00:41:42.199 ever go to Cherry Creek anymore times? 880 00:41:42.480 --> 00:41:42.639 You know? 881 00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:45.199 Every so often I will go to Cherry Creek because. 882 00:41:44.960 --> 00:41:48.360 There's restaurants down there that I really like, and sometimes 883 00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:50.679 I want to go to the fancy mall on occasion. 884 00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:52.760 I never buy anything in the fancy mall, but sometimes 885 00:41:52.760 --> 00:41:54.760 I like to look and see what people who do 886 00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:55.440 buy things that. 887 00:41:55.480 --> 00:41:56.480 The fancy mall are buying. 888 00:41:57.440 --> 00:42:01.519 And the reason I don't go more is because traffic sucks. 889 00:42:02.480 --> 00:42:04.079 And now you've got to pay for parking at the mall. 890 00:42:05.599 --> 00:42:07.280 You can valet at a lot of the restaurants, which 891 00:42:07.320 --> 00:42:10.119 is extremely convenient, but a lot. 892 00:42:10.039 --> 00:42:12.559 Of those side street places they've got no parking and 893 00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:16.199 it's just not fun to go down there and try 894 00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:19.159 and find parking. Well, it is about to get really 895 00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:23.519 interesting in Cherry Creek for the time being because Denver 896 00:42:23.639 --> 00:42:28.559 City Council unanimously approved rezoning the west side of the 897 00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:33.440 Cherry Creek Shopping Center and it is gonna have a thirteen. 898 00:42:33.119 --> 00:42:36.440 Acre mixed use community known as Cherry Creek West. 899 00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:44.039 So the projected build out could take a decade, and 900 00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:47.800 the development as it's presented right now would deliver one 901 00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:50.920 point six million square feet of offices and apartments on 902 00:42:51.039 --> 00:42:56.079 the site. And obviously housing would be great, and the 903 00:42:56.119 --> 00:43:00.480 project would be entirely served with underground parking. 904 00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:03.119 That is the only upside here, underground parking. 905 00:43:05.239 --> 00:43:10.760 So residents obviously not happy about this, and it's very 906 00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:13.760 high density, which is not you know, what Cherry Creek 907 00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:18.639 normally does. But Cherry Creek, unlike Downtown Denver, a lot 908 00:43:18.719 --> 00:43:21.800 of the businesses that left Downtown Denver moved to Cherry Creek, 909 00:43:22.360 --> 00:43:25.599 so they don't have a ton of vacancies for office 910 00:43:25.599 --> 00:43:27.440 space and things of that nature in Cherry Creek. 911 00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:30.039 So it makes sense that they'd want to build something 912 00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:30.360 like this. 913 00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:33.639 But I feel like this is going to fundamentally change 914 00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:36.039 But I you know, I don't know, maybe Cherry Creek 915 00:43:36.079 --> 00:43:38.679 has had these big swings that I mean, when the 916 00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:41.119 Cherry Creek Mall was built, any of you guys that 917 00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:42.800 were living here when the Cherry Creek Mall was built, 918 00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:47.800 that probably was incredibly disruptive as well. So I'm just wondering. 919 00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:49.719 I'd love to know five six, six nine. Oh, if 920 00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:52.239 you live in Cherry Creek, love to know how you 921 00:43:52.360 --> 00:43:57.360 feel about it. But if you go to Cherry Creek, 922 00:43:58.480 --> 00:44:00.800 is this a positive or you know? 923 00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:02.760 I don't know. 924 00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:05.880 Hey, Mandy, if you want to learn Spanish, you should 925 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:08.239 go to the flat Urns Mall and Broomfield on the weekends. 926 00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:11.119 Broomfield is so far from me. 927 00:44:12.079 --> 00:44:14.400 Broomfield is like you should just say, Mandy, you should 928 00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:18.320 drive Awayoming. That's how it feels to drive to Broomfield 929 00:44:19.039 --> 00:44:21.960 so far. Elways is closing there because of that. Yes, 930 00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:27.559 indeedy they are, they are. There was a Fox News story. 931 00:44:27.360 --> 00:44:34.679 About Douglas County and the lack of homelessness. Well, Douglas County, 932 00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:38.800 we've had a few here and there, you know that 933 00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:41.480 stand by the roadways and beg for money. I just 934 00:44:41.599 --> 00:44:47.280 I don't think people give them money. So yeah, who decides? 935 00:44:49.199 --> 00:44:53.480 Who decides? Well, jeeves? Shootoot, shoot shoot. That's not what 936 00:44:53.559 --> 00:44:54.480 I wanted to read at all. 937 00:44:55.679 --> 00:44:58.000 This person about the city council meetings, similar to a 938 00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:02.880 Worris City council meetings. Council Colorado Springs courtrooms have had 939 00:45:02.920 --> 00:45:06.760 a rash of recent video conference hearings that were interrupted 940 00:45:06.800 --> 00:45:10.199 by some bad actors hacking into the meeting and showing porn. 941 00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:15.800 Oh that's fantastic. That's that's not good. 942 00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:19.159 We've all gotten a little too comfortable with these online meetings. 943 00:45:19.239 --> 00:45:19.960 I actually like it. 944 00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:20.559 I love it. 945 00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:23.760 I love an online meeting. I still don't have a 946 00:45:23.840 --> 00:45:25.119 nice background when I'm at home. 947 00:45:25.840 --> 00:45:28.840 My background is still terrible. Maybe I should just get 948 00:45:28.920 --> 00:45:30.880 like a curtain, a rod, just like a curtain and 949 00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:34.159 then draw some stuff on it. Or I could steal old. 950 00:45:34.039 --> 00:45:36.440 Thing from Woody page and just do a chalkboard behind me, 951 00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:39.199 you know what, different drawings every time I'm doing. 952 00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:51.280 Anyway, we have a couple of things on the ballot. 953 00:45:52.559 --> 00:45:55.639 That we're gonna be talking about. By the way, Ross 954 00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:57.639 and I were talking this morning, I think we're gonna 955 00:45:57.639 --> 00:46:02.559 do a voter Guy collapse this year, so you can 956 00:46:02.639 --> 00:46:04.639 see what both of us think in one place. Now, 957 00:46:04.719 --> 00:46:08.039 for the most part, Ross and I completely agree on 958 00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:13.920 a vast majority of our selections, but our rationale to 959 00:46:13.960 --> 00:46:16.679 get there could be a little bit different. So I 960 00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:19.039 think we're going to do a collaboration on our voter guide. 961 00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:21.559 But hopefully we'll have that out like Monday, because ballot 962 00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:24.159 drop at the beginning of October. Mandy, I won't go 963 00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:27.840 north of Landmark living in Parker. Have moved everything to 964 00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:32.519 the Springs Support Air Force Sports, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. 965 00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:32.840 Et cetera. 966 00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:35.800 It just feels much safer and then Denver and the 967 00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:38.440 drive is easier. So yeah, I'm kind of with you, 968 00:46:39.360 --> 00:46:41.400 kind of with you on Matt. I live in Cherry Creek. 969 00:46:41.480 --> 00:46:43.920 There's a lot of construction going on, but we figured 970 00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:46.840 it out. Still like living here. This project's going to 971 00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:50.320 be pretty big and pretty disruptive, although I'm guessing much 972 00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:53.440 like when they do downtown, they can confine it to 973 00:46:53.639 --> 00:46:54.159 that area. 974 00:46:55.159 --> 00:46:57.000 I don't know, Mandy. 975 00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:58.679 I feel like I need to take my passport to 976 00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:00.599 the outlet mall off I twenty five and one hundred 977 00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:03.599 and thirty sixth Avenue. I just had an experience in 978 00:47:03.679 --> 00:47:06.000 a Walmart where I could not find a single Walmart 979 00:47:06.039 --> 00:47:09.559 employee that spoke English, and I was like, you know, 980 00:47:10.679 --> 00:47:14.960 not for nothing. I'm now not going to buy anything 981 00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:17.880 that I came in here to get because no one 982 00:47:18.039 --> 00:47:18.920 can help me find it. 983 00:47:19.840 --> 00:47:22.880 No one are you learning any Spanish being married to 984 00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:24.199 your Spanish speaking wife. 985 00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:30.760 I'm always trying yeah, always attempting poquito, poquito, pekito. 986 00:47:30.920 --> 00:47:33.840 Yeah, because that would have been nice because I had 987 00:47:33.920 --> 00:47:36.480 nothing and they felt bad. But I was like, yeah, 988 00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:40.280 I need help and no one can help me. That's fine, 989 00:47:40.599 --> 00:47:46.119 Absolutely fine. One more story about Denver Real Quick Denver's 990 00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:49.480 median home price and how it compares internationally now or 991 00:47:49.519 --> 00:47:54.400 not internationally, that's silly. Nationally, the annual income buyers needed 992 00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:56.400 to afford a house fell for the first time since 993 00:47:56.480 --> 00:47:59.920 twenty twenty, driven by the first annual decline and mortgage 994 00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:03.679 rates in three years. Now, in order to afford a 995 00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:08.719 typical home nationwide, you would have to earn one hundred 996 00:48:08.719 --> 00:48:12.760 and fifteen four hundred and fifty four per year. That's 997 00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:16.360 down one point four percent since last year. But what 998 00:48:16.440 --> 00:48:19.559 does it look like in Denver. Well, the report ranked 999 00:48:19.599 --> 00:48:23.719 Denver twelfth among the fifty most populous metro areas in 1000 00:48:23.800 --> 00:48:28.239 the country. When it comes to housing affordability. The median 1001 00:48:28.280 --> 00:48:31.360 home price is five hundred and eighty six thousand dollars. 1002 00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:34.440 That means the median is different than the average. Okay, 1003 00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:36.920 the median is half the houses sold. 1004 00:48:36.719 --> 00:48:37.840 In Denver are more than that. 1005 00:48:38.400 --> 00:48:40.800 Half the houses sold in the metro are less than that, 1006 00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:45.639 So that's the middle price, the median home price. The 1007 00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:48.679 income here to afford a median priced home is one 1008 00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:52.920 fifty two five thirty seven. The median household income in 1009 00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:57.320 Denver is one oh nine seven to seventy one. And 1010 00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:01.199 that's why Denver feels unaffordable for a lot of people. 1011 00:49:01.360 --> 00:49:04.239 Mandy can't shop at the Walmart? Why can't I shop 1012 00:49:04.239 --> 00:49:04.840 at the Walmart? 1013 00:49:05.960 --> 00:49:07.239 What's wrong with the Walmart? 1014 00:49:08.480 --> 00:49:12.360 Don't go hating on Walmart, Mandy, A great background is 1015 00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:14.400 one of the folding Asian style screens. 1016 00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:16.639 Oh, that would be good. That'd be really good. 1017 00:49:16.800 --> 00:49:19.280 Do you know if Douglas County can compel a homeless 1018 00:49:19.280 --> 00:49:21.960 person to pay the one thousand dollars fine if they're 1019 00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:25.400 only income is social Security? I'm guessing that they can 1020 00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:29.159 compel them. But whether or not you can get blood 1021 00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:32.760 from a stone, I don't know. Let's see underground parking 1022 00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:36.800 next to Cherry Creek prone to flooding. Also believe some 1023 00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.159 of that area used to be a dump, like an 1024 00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:44.440 actual dump. A Rod, Google, did Cherry Creek in Denver 1025 00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:48.239 used to be a dump? Look that up for me, 1026 00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:51.639 Mandy A Rod not to worry. Then married to my 1027 00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:55.360 wife for fifteen years, and she knows zero Spanish. I 1028 00:49:55.480 --> 00:49:56.679 am fluently bilingual. 1029 00:49:56.960 --> 00:49:57.320 Here we go. 1030 00:49:58.360 --> 00:50:02.320 Make sure this is Cherry Creek in Colorado on second, 1031 00:50:02.480 --> 00:50:06.559 because it looks like that's true. Because of flooding, the 1032 00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:10.880 area around the creek, Cherry Creek was unsuitable for most 1033 00:50:11.039 --> 00:50:14.159 uses and became the city dump shut on. The original 1034 00:50:14.239 --> 00:50:16.960 Cherry Creek Shopping Center was built on the former dump 1035 00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:22.159 by Denver architect developer Temple hoin Buell in nineteen forty nine. 1036 00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:24.719 This from Cherry Creek East dot org. 1037 00:50:25.599 --> 00:50:34.000 Wow, that's fantastic. That's so ironic. In the mall is 1038 00:50:34.039 --> 00:50:34.880 built on a dump. 1039 00:50:35.039 --> 00:50:37.480 Yeah, in nineteen eighty four, the Cherry Creek Steering Community 1040 00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:39.280 blah bla, Oh that's nothing related, never mind. 1041 00:50:39.239 --> 00:50:40.159 But yeah, there you go. 1042 00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:41.000 Wow. 1043 00:50:42.360 --> 00:50:42.639 Wow. 1044 00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.480 The redevelopment of the Cherry Creek Shopping Center into the 1045 00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:47.559 Cherry Creek Mall that you see today was completed in 1046 00:50:47.679 --> 00:50:48.400 nineteen ninety. 1047 00:50:49.960 --> 00:50:52.599 Wow, built on the built on the former dump in 1048 00:50:52.679 --> 00:50:53.199 forty nine. 1049 00:50:54.800 --> 00:50:55.880 That's actually really cool. 1050 00:50:57.440 --> 00:50:59.000 Like like I said, because they had no choice because 1051 00:50:59.000 --> 00:51:01.639 like with the flooding, it was unsuitable for really anything 1052 00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:02.920 else other than being a dump. 1053 00:51:03.719 --> 00:51:06.159 That's fantastic. I don't know why I like that so much. 1054 00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:10.039 It's almost like it's almost like a Cinderella story, this 1055 00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:13.159 crappy piece of land, nothing could go there except a dump. 1056 00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:16.519 And then after the dump gets fulled up with everybody's garbage, 1057 00:51:16.960 --> 00:51:17.840 what can we do with it? 1058 00:51:18.239 --> 00:51:21.079 We can make it into a beautiful, sparkling shopping center 1059 00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:22.960 with all the fence and clothing and brands in it. 1060 00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:27.920 It's the Cinderella Story of the ages. Yes, it was 1061 00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:28.280 a dump. 1062 00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:30.559 We're getting a lot of confirmation on the text line 1063 00:51:30.719 --> 00:51:33.239 that you didn't know. The original Cherry Creek shopping center 1064 00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:36.119 of late nineteen forties was considered to be the most 1065 00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:37.239 innovative design. 1066 00:51:37.559 --> 00:51:40.639 Ever, how do you guys know this? 1067 00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:45.760 The Walmart near me has closed all the self checkout 1068 00:51:45.840 --> 00:51:47.920 lanes and usually only have two or three checkout lanes 1069 00:51:47.960 --> 00:51:50.559 open with a real live persons working in them. 1070 00:51:51.559 --> 00:51:56.199 Maybe they can build that big landfill east of town there, lol, Haha. 1071 00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:04.679 Let's see here. Apparently you can use the Walmart app 1072 00:52:05.360 --> 00:52:06.599 and find stuff in the. 1073 00:52:06.639 --> 00:52:08.039 Store one hundred percent actual. 1074 00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:10.280 Well, what if I don't know exactly what it's called. 1075 00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:13.719 Uh, you can roughly type in like the the thing 1076 00:52:13.800 --> 00:52:16.800 you're looking for, not specifically like the brand name right like, 1077 00:52:17.400 --> 00:52:19.400 it'll give you a rough idea of where things are. 1078 00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:22.639 Use it all, right, here. 1079 00:52:22.559 --> 00:52:23.639 We go anyway. 1080 00:52:25.400 --> 00:52:29.039 Oh, here's a question totally unrelated, but I'm gonna read it.

Okay, 1113 00:54:02.519 --> 00:54:03.960 let's take a time out. When we get back. 1114 00:54:04.760 --> 00:54:07.800 We have a story about Tell You Ride Ski Resort 1115 00:54:07.880 --> 00:54:10.519 and if I could give them the mom look right 1116 00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:13.840 now and be like, I am so disappointed in you 1117 00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:18.440 when you hear what they did, and honestly, oh, this 1118 00:54:18.599 --> 00:54:20.440 is such a dumb pr move. I'll share with that 1119 00:54:20.559 --> 00:54:23.039 next Tell Your Ride Ski Resort. You guys talk about 1120 00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:25.519 a self inflicted wound. First of all, I had no 1121 00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:28.159 idea Tell your Ride is one of the ski towns. 1122 00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:29.519 I have not been to Tell Your Ride yet. Have 1123 00:54:29.599 --> 00:54:32.199 you ever been there a rod Tell You Ride Colorado? 1124 00:54:32.880 --> 00:54:34.440 I haven't been since I was a child. 1125 00:54:35.760 --> 00:54:37.599 It's part of the state that I have not made 1126 00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:40.719 it to yet. I haven't gone to, like Paonia and 1127 00:54:41.280 --> 00:54:45.039 Montrose and like the whole area. I've been to Crested 1128 00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:48.119 Butte haven't been to the Four Corners either. So I've 1129 00:54:48.119 --> 00:54:50.880 got places to go in Colorado still. But Tell Your 1130 00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:53.880 Ride just gave themselves a black eye over something that 1131 00:54:54.000 --> 00:54:58.320 I have to believe could not have been costing them 1132 00:54:59.039 --> 00:55:03.400 very much money. For as long as any of the 1133 00:55:03.480 --> 00:55:06.239 locals can remember, the Tell Your Ride Ski Resort. 1134 00:55:06.039 --> 00:55:07.000 Has been giving. 1135 00:55:08.480 --> 00:55:14.239 People local citizens who turn eighty or older free ski passes. 1136 00:55:15.880 --> 00:55:18.719 So this has been like something that people. 1137 00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:20.440 Who live and Tell Your Ride get all excited about 1138 00:55:20.519 --> 00:55:22.719 because they're like, Oh, when I turn eighty, I can 1139 00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:24.800 get my free ski pass a to Tell You Ride 1140 00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:26.719 Ski Resort. And then the Tell You Ride Ski Resort 1141 00:55:26.840 --> 00:55:30.199 just said we're not doing it anymore, And I'm thinking 1142 00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:33.760 to myself, how many people on a daily basis. First 1143 00:55:33.760 --> 00:55:35.239 of all, you know they're probably skiing in the middle 1144 00:55:35.239 --> 00:55:39.320 of the week, right, So how many people over eighty 1145 00:55:39.480 --> 00:55:42.239 actually even live in Tell Your Ride And out of 1146 00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:47.599 those eighty, how many of them actually ski on a 1147 00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:52.199 regular enough basis to create a burden for the Tell 1148 00:55:52.239 --> 00:55:54.880 your Ride Ski resort to not want to give out 1149 00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:56.440 these free passes anymore. 1150 00:55:57.679 --> 00:56:00.840 Now. The only thing, and this is I thought about 1151 00:56:00.840 --> 00:56:05.400 this this morning. I was like, what, who decided to 1152 00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:08.400 make this change? And why in the world? 1153 00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:11.199 Why would they make this change when I just laid 1154 00:56:11.239 --> 00:56:14.039 out the reasons why it cannot be costing them. It's 1155 00:56:14.079 --> 00:56:17.119 not like the slopes are overrun with eighty five year 1156 00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:20.079 olds from Tell Your Ride that are skiing free, right, 1157 00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:21.039 That's not happening. 1158 00:56:22.599 --> 00:56:25.800 The only thing I can think of, and I bet 1159 00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:26.440 you this is it. 1160 00:56:26.920 --> 00:56:28.719 By the way, Fox thirty one reached out to the 1161 00:56:28.719 --> 00:56:30.800 scale Tell your Ride Ski Resort to ask why the 1162 00:56:30.880 --> 00:56:31.559 change was made. 1163 00:56:32.000 --> 00:56:35.679 They have not heard back yet. My guess is because 1164 00:56:36.000 --> 00:56:41.079 a lawyer got involved, and I just have this feeling 1165 00:56:41.159 --> 00:56:42.360 that it went something like this. 1166 00:56:42.960 --> 00:56:45.639 You know, I mean, people over eighty are far more 1167 00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:48.679 likely to break something if they fall on the mountain, 1168 00:56:48.679 --> 00:56:53.039 and here we are encouraging them to continue skiing after 1169 00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:56.199 they are an age where many people of that age 1170 00:56:56.280 --> 00:56:59.199 start to deal with, you know, bones that aren't as strong, 1171 00:57:00.039 --> 00:57:01.199 bodies that aren't as strong. 1172 00:57:02.480 --> 00:57:05.000 I bet you as a lawyer, and I'm not one 1173 00:57:05.039 --> 00:57:06.800 of those. We bot hate lawyers. My dad used to 1174 00:57:06.800 --> 00:57:07.239 be a lawyer. 1175 00:57:07.519 --> 00:57:07.880 I get it. 1176 00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:13.960 But why in the world, Oh, tell your ride was 1177 00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:21.280 bought by Veil Corp. What do you expect? Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. 1178 00:57:22.760 --> 00:57:27.679 Somebody took umbrage a rod with our conversation about people 1179 00:57:27.800 --> 00:57:32.480 driving around without their license plates. Oh, somebody said, I 1180 00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:35.000 don't know, the text is long gone, but it said something. 1181 00:57:34.840 --> 00:57:36.960 The effect of why don't you use just mind your 1182 00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:37.599 own business? 1183 00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:41.400 And I was like, well, see, it's it's about being 1184 00:57:41.480 --> 00:57:43.800 a good citizen. And when you are a good citizen 1185 00:57:43.840 --> 00:57:45.719 and you're paying the dumb ass taxes that we have 1186 00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:48.039 to pay to get our cars registered, and then you 1187 00:57:48.159 --> 00:57:50.119 see all these other people that are not being good 1188 00:57:50.159 --> 00:57:53.400 citizens and not paying their dumb ass taxes to get 1189 00:57:53.440 --> 00:57:54.280 their car registered. 1190 00:57:54.519 --> 00:57:55.599 It's annoying. 1191 00:57:57.000 --> 00:58:01.280 Because it details a disrespect of their civic responsibility. 1192 00:58:01.360 --> 00:58:05.800 And I hate it. I hate gigantic registration fees. 1193 00:58:05.840 --> 00:58:08.920 I think it's stupid, especially because se dot is squandering 1194 00:58:08.960 --> 00:58:11.760 all that money on dumbass ways to get us out 1195 00:58:11.760 --> 00:58:12.360 of our cars. 1196 00:58:14.119 --> 00:58:17.840 So, yeah, I don't care. 1197 00:58:17.960 --> 00:58:20.519 And so I said back, it's about being a good citizen, 1198 00:58:20.559 --> 00:58:22.199 and this person said, minding your. 1199 00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:24.119 Own business is being a good citizen. 1200 00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:35.119 Except whose role is it to encourage others by shaming 1201 00:58:35.159 --> 00:58:37.159 them on the radio to do the right thing and 1202 00:58:37.239 --> 00:58:37.920 be a good citizen. 1203 00:58:38.000 --> 00:58:40.239 I'm just asking, Mandy, have you been to the Swiss 1204 00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:43.960 Alps of Colorado? You r ridge? Yodel a he who 1205 00:58:44.480 --> 00:58:50.320 I knew exactly exactly what you were doing there, yodeler Uh, Mandy. 1206 00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:55.280 They're probably worried about being sued for injuries. Exactly right, exactly, Mandy. 1207 00:58:55.320 --> 00:58:58.159 I think everyone and Tell You're Right is rich. Yeah, 1208 00:58:58.199 --> 00:59:01.639 but people can be house rich and cash poor. If 1209 00:59:01.679 --> 00:59:03.639 you've lived in tel You're right for forty years in 1210 00:59:03.760 --> 00:59:06.119 the same house, you are house. 1211 00:59:06.000 --> 00:59:07.960 Rich, and you could be cash poor. You could be 1212 00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:11.360 cash rich too. I don't know, Mandy. 1213 00:59:11.400 --> 00:59:13.360 I don't think Tell your Right has been bought by 1214 00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:16.599 Veil Resorts. They do have a marketing agreement with them 1215 00:59:16.719 --> 00:59:19.239 on the full epic pass, because otherwise Fox would have 1216 00:59:19.320 --> 00:59:22.000 just reached out to Veil Resorts. You're right, Texter, Thank 1217 00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:26.280 you for the clarification, Mandy, what do you think the 1218 00:59:26.360 --> 00:59:28.159 percentage of those expired. 1219 00:59:27.760 --> 00:59:30.800 Plates are that do not have insurance? Well, it's my. 1220 00:59:30.960 --> 00:59:33.960 Understanding that if you don't have an up to date registration, 1221 00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:39.519 you cannot buy auto insurance. It's our business if you 1222 00:59:39.559 --> 00:59:43.920 don't have valid plates on you're on the roadway, fair Point, Texter, 1223 00:59:45.480 --> 00:59:49.239 fair Point, Mandy. Does the state DMV charge the a 1224 00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:53.039 fee if they register their vehicle after the prescribed date? Yes, 1225 00:59:53.679 --> 00:59:56.960 you were supposed to pay the difference from whenever you 1226 00:59:57.079 --> 00:59:59.360 are supposed to register the car to the point where 1227 00:59:59.400 --> 01:00:01.760 you register the car. So if you waited a year 1228 01:00:02.039 --> 01:00:04.760 or two years, you have to pay the registration fees 1229 01:00:04.800 --> 01:00:09.760 for those two years. But I think and I don't 1230 01:00:09.800 --> 01:00:13.440 know who told me this, but I think they are 1231 01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:15.559 they're able to waive those fees. 1232 01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:17.639 But I don't know what the I don't know what 1233 01:00:17.760 --> 01:00:20.599 the situation is there, Mandy. 1234 01:00:20.599 --> 01:00:23.480 Why are there so many postal trucks without license plates? 1235 01:00:24.159 --> 01:00:27.199 My guess is is maybe they were stolen, because if 1236 01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:28.960 I'm looking to steal a license plate to slap on 1237 01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:33.119 another car, well, they should have fleet vehicle for license plates. 1238 01:00:33.159 --> 01:00:33.719 Though I don't know. 1239 01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:35.760 I don't know the answer to that question. I got 1240 01:00:35.800 --> 01:00:37.840 a bunch of postal workers though. Is that a postal 1241 01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:41.519 thing or is that just where are the license plates going? 1242 01:00:42.079 --> 01:00:42.239 Five? 1243 01:00:42.360 --> 01:00:46.239 Six six nine oh? Text me the answer, Mandy. 1244 01:00:46.280 --> 01:00:49.440 I wish there was a monthly penalty after your plates expire. 1245 01:00:49.559 --> 01:00:52.280 Problem solved there is You're one hundred percent? 1246 01:00:52.360 --> 01:00:55.159 Is true, Mandy? Not true of the on the plates. 1247 01:00:55.239 --> 01:00:58.239 The worst ones are the exotic car owners. I call 1248 01:00:58.320 --> 01:01:00.199 my friends out all the time, like they're just not 1249 01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:08.280 getting their plates. What not true on the plates? Which part? 1250 01:01:08.480 --> 01:01:10.400 What are you talking about? Clarify? 1251 01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:13.199 If I see a car with no license plate, I 1252 01:01:13.280 --> 01:01:15.920 assume they have no insurance. I stay far away. I 1253 01:01:15.960 --> 01:01:18.320 will never park to somebody with an unregistered plate or 1254 01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:20.960 no plate. That's from the Texter. 1255 01:01:21.239 --> 01:01:23.079 I live in a Uror. I see twenty five or 1256 01:01:23.119 --> 01:01:32.760 thirty unregistered cars every day. UM wow, you guys, the 1257 01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:35.719 license plate thing is now going off on the text line. 1258 01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:36.920 Obviously we hit a nerve. 1259 01:01:36.960 --> 01:01:39.639 And I'm right when you see people not doing their 1260 01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:42.280 civic responsibility and you start to feel like a sucker, right, 1261 01:01:42.360 --> 01:01:44.000 you're like, what hey, Rod said it the other day, 1262 01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:46.400 Why am I doing this?

Are they enforcing expired tags, etc. To 1278 01:02:38.440 --> 01:02:40.679 clean the place up before Trump gets here, like cleaning 1279 01:02:40.719 --> 01:02:41.400 San Francisco. 1280 01:02:42.000 --> 01:02:42.920 I can assure you. 1281 01:02:44.599 --> 01:02:47.800 That a vast majority of the government here in the 1282 01:02:48.079 --> 01:02:50.960 Colorado Denver metro area does not give a rats. 1283 01:02:51.039 --> 01:02:54.159 Ask what Donald Trump sees when he comes here. 1284 01:02:55.039 --> 01:02:58.280 If he comes here, Mandy, I watched a person remove 1285 01:02:58.320 --> 01:03:01.760 a temporary plate and replace it with another temporary plate. 1286 01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:02.639 Hey, in their. 1287 01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:05.920 Defense, when I got my car. It took so long 1288 01:03:06.000 --> 01:03:07.719 for the Department of Motor Vehicles to send me my 1289 01:03:07.760 --> 01:03:10.599 new plate. I had to get a new temporary plate. 1290 01:03:11.840 --> 01:03:13.880 So there are reasons for that are that are not 1291 01:03:14.079 --> 01:03:19.400 the driver's fault. Mandy Aspen Highlands and snowmass used to 1292 01:03:19.440 --> 01:03:22.000 have a free pass for eighty year olds. My father 1293 01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:24.199 in law kept skiing until he got his pass. 1294 01:03:24.559 --> 01:03:27.880 He didn't ski one more day. All he wanted was 1295 01:03:28.000 --> 01:03:30.840 his pass. Oh, that's kind of cute, kind of sad. 1296 01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:35.400 I pay more for uninsured motorists in six months than 1297 01:03:35.440 --> 01:03:36.880 I used to pay for total. 1298 01:03:36.599 --> 01:03:39.440 Liability in a year. Sad, But for true, if you don't. 1299 01:03:39.320 --> 01:03:43.360 Have uninsured motorists coverage, you could find yourself screwed. 1300 01:03:43.760 --> 01:03:45.400 So get it today. We'll be right back. 1301 01:03:45.599 --> 01:03:47.800 We were looking for Mark Zuckerberg to lead the way 1302 01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:52.280 when it came to politics. Well, after doing something and 1303 01:03:52.679 --> 01:03:55.800 you know, Mark Zuckerberg seems like a decent egg, you 1304 01:03:55.880 --> 01:03:56.280 know what I mean. 1305 01:03:56.480 --> 01:03:58.840 He seems like he would be a decent human. 1306 01:03:58.880 --> 01:04:03.159 He's a nerd who has made billions of dollars with 1307 01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:06.679 Facebook and Meta and everything else. But last election cycle 1308 01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:09.559 he stepped up with his Zuckerbucks. I can't remember the 1309 01:04:09.639 --> 01:04:11.320 name of the actual organization. It was part of his 1310 01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:15.440 foundation where they gave UH grants and the purpose was 1311 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:19.159 to give grants to any voting district that needed it 1312 01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:22.000 to help mitigate the effects of COVID and ensure that 1313 01:04:22.039 --> 01:04:26.639 people could come and vote safely. A bunch of Democrat 1314 01:04:26.719 --> 01:04:29.760 cities took him up on it. No Republicans took him 1315 01:04:29.840 --> 01:04:31.239 up on it, and a. 1316 01:04:31.239 --> 01:04:33.400 Lot of people said, look, those Zuckerbucks they were used 1317 01:04:33.440 --> 01:04:33.800 to cheat. 1318 01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:37.480 Well, I think this is just wild speculation on my 1319 01:04:37.559 --> 01:04:39.800 part because I can't read into his mind or has sold. 1320 01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:42.440 But he strikes me as the sort there was, Like, dude, 1321 01:04:42.519 --> 01:04:45.679 I was trying to help, and now I'm being accused 1322 01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:48.599 of all of these things because none of the Republican 1323 01:04:48.679 --> 01:04:49.840 cities took me up on it. 1324 01:04:51.239 --> 01:04:55.920 So he has now said he's done, He's out no more. 1325 01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:02.000 He's been complaining to fellow billionaires. 1326 01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:04.000 Yeah, they all have meetings. Did you guys know this. 1327 01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:08.519 The Allen and Company conference? They call it summer camp 1328 01:05:08.599 --> 01:05:11.920 for billionaires? Aer Did you get your invitation to the 1329 01:05:12.039 --> 01:05:13.360 Allen and Company conference? 1330 01:05:13.639 --> 01:05:13.920 You know? 1331 01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:18.119 I haven't. I haven't yet. Did mine get lost? Did 1332 01:05:18.159 --> 01:05:18.519 you see it? 1333 01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:20.079 No? 1334 01:05:22.000 --> 01:05:22.960 Wellingess to this year. 1335 01:05:23.000 --> 01:05:25.199 Maybe we'll just hold our fingers crossed for next year. 1336 01:05:26.440 --> 01:05:29.480 But apparently Mark Zuckerberg has been complaining to people about 1337 01:05:29.480 --> 01:05:34.320 the blowback that came from him doing things with his philanthropy, 1338 01:05:34.480 --> 01:05:37.400 and he has now admitted that he is He's got 1339 01:05:37.440 --> 01:05:39.400 a bunch of employees that are trying to push him 1340 01:05:39.760 --> 01:05:43.280 further to the left, and he's done. He now has 1341 01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:46.840 decided he's like, look, I'm a classical liberal. 1342 01:05:48.280 --> 01:05:52.760 And he's just not going to participate anymore. So what 1343 01:05:52.840 --> 01:05:54.519 does this mean for Facebook? 1344 01:05:54.599 --> 01:05:59.320 Because Facebook was very active in censoring information during the 1345 01:05:59.400 --> 01:06:05.000 last election cycle, and it is uh, I just want 1346 01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:06.599 to know what that means for Facebook. 1347 01:06:06.679 --> 01:06:08.760 Listen to this from this New York Times article. 1348 01:06:09.000 --> 01:06:12.599 Privately, mister Zuckerberg now considers his personal politics to be 1349 01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:17.000 more like libertarianism or classical liberalism, according to people who 1350 01:06:17.039 --> 01:06:17.719 have spoken. 1351 01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:18.119 With him recently. 1352 01:06:18.679 --> 01:06:22.079 That includes a hostility to regulation that restricts business and 1353 01:06:22.199 --> 01:06:25.440 embrace the free markets and globalism, and an openness to 1354 01:06:25.519 --> 01:06:29.519 social justice reforms, but only if it stops short of 1355 01:06:29.639 --> 01:06:33.760 what he considers far left progressivism. And mister Zuckerberg and 1356 01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:37.639 his wife, doctor Priscilla Chan have been privately aghast about 1357 01:06:37.639 --> 01:06:40.639 what they see as the rise of anti Semitism on 1358 01:06:40.760 --> 01:06:44.440 college campuses, including their alma mater, Harvard. 1359 01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:48.119 Does that to you? Does anybody else like hear that? 1360 01:06:48.239 --> 01:06:48.400 And go? 1361 01:06:48.800 --> 01:06:51.880 Did Mark Zuckerberg get red pilled? Because it kind of 1362 01:06:51.960 --> 01:06:57.480 seems like maybe he did. Now he hasn't changed sides. Okay, 1363 01:06:57.559 --> 01:07:00.440 we're not gonna go crazy here, but he's this. This 1364 01:07:00.599 --> 01:07:03.079 is significant when you've got one of the richest guys 1365 01:07:03.119 --> 01:07:07.159 in the world saying I'm out. You know, that's a 1366 01:07:07.199 --> 01:07:10.440 big deal for politicians. Kamala Harris's campaign just got a 1367 01:07:10.519 --> 01:07:17.760 big fat cash infusion from Silicon Valley and the tech bros. Now, 1368 01:07:18.400 --> 01:07:19.920 I'm gonna tell you, I think there's a lot of 1369 01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:23.559 these guys that just march lockstep with whatever the prevailing 1370 01:07:23.639 --> 01:07:28.039 wind is. And if the prevailing wind shifts and people 1371 01:07:28.119 --> 01:07:30.840 start to see the big dogs Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg 1372 01:07:31.239 --> 01:07:35.920 dipping out and saying no man or even better, and 1373 01:07:36.039 --> 01:07:38.760 I mean this even better in a political sense, not 1374 01:07:38.880 --> 01:07:41.800 good for the country sense, because sometimes those things aren't 1375 01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:45.360 necessarily immediately the same. If Kamala Harris gets re elected 1376 01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:48.599 and she manages to raise taxes on everyone rich, those 1377 01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:52.000 tech pros, they're gonna have a much different perspective in. 1378 01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:56.599 The next election cycle about Democrats. So fingers crossed Kammally can. 1379 01:07:56.599 --> 01:08:00.159 Get it done if she gets elected, not fingers. 1380 01:08:00.360 --> 01:08:03.320 That she gets elected. To be clear, I just want 1381 01:08:03.360 --> 01:08:05.159 to make sure that no one thinks I said that. 1382 01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:05.679 Now. 1383 01:08:05.880 --> 01:08:08.679 Coming up at the next hour, I have a bunch 1384 01:08:08.840 --> 01:08:12.679 of stories for the two minute blog two minute drill rather, 1385 01:08:13.159 --> 01:08:15.519 and then I've got a bunch of stories for us 1386 01:08:15.559 --> 01:08:17.560 to talk about after that. If you have not looked 1387 01:08:17.600 --> 01:08:19.520 at the blog today, I have some really good videos. 1388 01:08:20.319 --> 01:08:22.800 One is an old video by Milton Friedman that I 1389 01:08:22.880 --> 01:08:25.640 put on the blog today because he did this at 1390 01:08:25.680 --> 01:08:28.359 the end of the nineteen seventies when inflation was much 1391 01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:28.880 higher than. 1392 01:08:28.840 --> 01:08:29.279 It is now. 1393 01:08:29.840 --> 01:08:33.560 But he explains where where inflation comes from. And if 1394 01:08:33.600 --> 01:08:36.000 you have anyone in your life who's like one of 1395 01:08:36.039 --> 01:08:40.000 those people who's like the inflation is because of corpet greed. 1396 01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:44.279 This is really written at like a fifth grade level. 1397 01:08:45.520 --> 01:08:47.560 So you should watch that video with your friends. And 1398 01:08:48.039 --> 01:08:50.359 in this next hour we're going to get into a 1399 01:08:50.479 --> 01:08:54.520 piece by doctor Thomas Krana Winner, who is on Ross's 1400 01:08:54.520 --> 01:08:57.479 show with some regularity. This is on the blog, and 1401 01:08:57.560 --> 01:09:02.199 if you have to try and explain why people like 1402 01:09:02.319 --> 01:09:02.960 Donald Trump. 1403 01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:05.560 Oh my gosh, you need to go click through on 1404 01:09:05.640 --> 01:09:08.159 this thread and read it. Today. We're going to do 1405 01:09:08.239 --> 01:09:09.520 the two minute trill when we get back. 1406 01:09:10.279 --> 01:09:12.920 The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock 1407 01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:14.439 Accident and Injury Lawyers. 1408 01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:17.399 No, it's Mandy Connell. 1409 01:09:17.880 --> 01:09:23.000 Mayn on kla Am. 1410 01:09:23.119 --> 01:09:33.479 Ninetym got wanna say the nicty three many Connell keeping 1411 01:09:33.920 --> 01:09:35.359 the real sad thing. 1412 01:09:36.840 --> 01:09:39.399 The two minute drill at two. Hey, we're gonna go 1413 01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:42.000 to two minute warnings rapid fire stories of the day 1414 01:09:42.119 --> 01:09:45.399 that we don't have more time for play check. Let's 1415 01:09:45.479 --> 01:09:48.079 call this so it will take longer than two minutes. 1416 01:09:48.159 --> 01:09:49.039 Are are you out? 1417 01:09:49.199 --> 01:09:51.640 Here's Mandy connall Ah. 1418 01:09:51.920 --> 01:09:52.399 You guys. 1419 01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:55.920 You may have heard or seen the breathless headlines shots 1420 01:09:56.039 --> 01:10:00.479 fired into Kamala Harris campaign headquarters, but then you read 1421 01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:02.880 this story and don't get me wrong, I think this 1422 01:10:03.039 --> 01:10:03.520 is stupid. 1423 01:10:03.600 --> 01:10:04.279 Whoever did it? 1424 01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:06.159 It's just an AS nine thing to do and there's 1425 01:10:06.199 --> 01:10:08.760 no place for any of this. But the shots fired 1426 01:10:09.239 --> 01:10:12.119 were from a baby gun. It was like the middle 1427 01:10:12.159 --> 01:10:13.239 of the night when no one. 1428 01:10:13.239 --> 01:10:15.520 Was there, and it just left little holes in the 1429 01:10:15.520 --> 01:10:16.439 plate glass window. 1430 01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:19.840 So can we stop acting like she has now survived 1431 01:10:19.880 --> 01:10:24.800 her own assassination attempt because someone idiot shot at her building. 1432 01:10:25.039 --> 01:10:27.720 I mean, I'm not saying that someone didn't do it. 1433 01:10:28.279 --> 01:10:32.399 I'm just saying, let's put it in its proper perspective, 1434 01:10:32.399 --> 01:10:35.640 which is not important at all. I guess that's really 1435 01:10:35.680 --> 01:10:36.600 all I have to say about that. 1436 01:10:38.119 --> 01:10:38.680 Drill it too. 1437 01:10:39.239 --> 01:10:42.960 So consumer confidence is a survey of how people think 1438 01:10:43.039 --> 01:10:47.079 the economy is actually doing, and the Conference Sports Consumer 1439 01:10:47.159 --> 01:10:52.399 Confidence Index fell almost seven points in September, the biggest 1440 01:10:52.439 --> 01:10:55.479 monthly droped since September of twenty twenty one. 1441 01:10:56.640 --> 01:10:57.760 Now why does this matter? 1442 01:10:58.560 --> 01:10:58.840 It is? 1443 01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:02.920 It matters because these are consumers that are surveyed, and 1444 01:11:03.119 --> 01:11:07.319 consumers are feeling like things are not going quite as well. 1445 01:11:07.760 --> 01:11:10.800 About thirty one percent of consumers said jobs were plentiful. 1446 01:11:11.239 --> 01:11:14.399 That's down two points from August. The share who said 1447 01:11:14.479 --> 01:11:17.880 jobs were hard to get jumped up one point five 1448 01:11:17.960 --> 01:11:21.800 points to eighteen point three percent in August as well. 1449 01:11:22.239 --> 01:11:27.079 Concerns about inflation haven't really totally supplanted by job market worries, 1450 01:11:27.159 --> 01:11:32.199 yet consumers pointing out that inflation had receded, So that's good, 1451 01:11:33.039 --> 01:11:36.319 the Conference Sport said, write in responses about election concerns 1452 01:11:36.800 --> 01:11:41.079 remain below those seen ahead of the twenty twenty and 1453 01:11:41.199 --> 01:11:44.159 twenty sixteen elections. So people are worried about the economy, 1454 01:11:44.600 --> 01:11:47.319 which is not good news because people often vote on 1455 01:11:47.520 --> 01:11:50.399 their own personal economy in the elections.

He is bringing sexy back, and I 1458 01:11:58.079 --> 01:12:02.520 guess his arrest in the Hampton will not ruin the tour, 1459 01:12:02.800 --> 01:12:06.159 as he told police. Justin Timberlake will be performing at 1460 01:12:06.239 --> 01:12:09.880 Paul Arena on January twenty eighth, and I am going 1461 01:12:09.920 --> 01:12:12.279 to this show because I want to see Justin Timberlake. 1462 01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:15.000 I bet he's great in concert.

Whatever, never mind, 1475 01:12:44.359 --> 01:12:46.880 forget I did the whole story. Fine, I'm sorry, you 1476 01:12:46.920 --> 01:12:47.880 can bring right down. 1477 01:12:47.960 --> 01:12:53.600 Fine, drill it too bad news. Retired NFL quarterback Brett Farve. 1478 01:12:53.399 --> 01:12:56.960 Says he has Parkinson's disease and doesn't take a big 1479 01:12:57.079 --> 01:13:00.520 leap to think that Parkinson's disease, which is a disease 1480 01:13:00.560 --> 01:13:02.800 that affects your brain and is kind of a in 1481 01:13:02.920 --> 01:13:06.079 the variety of wasting diseases. We just lost a friend 1482 01:13:06.119 --> 01:13:09.399 to this disease fairly recently, and it's not a fun 1483 01:13:09.479 --> 01:13:10.880 way to go out. 1484 01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:13.159 It is a very challenging. 1485 01:13:12.800 --> 01:13:15.720 Disease, and for a guy like Brett Farr, who has 1486 01:13:15.720 --> 01:13:18.439 spent his whole life as an athlete, I'm guessing this 1487 01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:22.039 could be really miserable. I'm hoping that he does as 1488 01:13:22.159 --> 01:13:29.920 well as Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh, he was 1489 01:13:29.960 --> 01:13:31.640 in Back to the Future Marty McFly. 1490 01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:35.000 Oh uh, oh god, I go to a fox. 1491 01:13:35.119 --> 01:13:38.479 Yes, Oh wow, that was the sweating thing right there. 1492 01:13:38.560 --> 01:13:41.279 I couldn't get that. But best wishes to Brett Farr. 1493 01:13:41.439 --> 01:13:43.159 You know the girl that he was involved with, well, 1494 01:13:43.159 --> 01:13:45.560 he wasn't involved with. He was sending the unwanted messages 1495 01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:48.720 to that was working for the Jets sideline. She sent 1496 01:13:48.800 --> 01:13:53.000 out some really nasty commentary about this, like basically, isn't 1497 01:13:53.039 --> 01:13:56.720 karma bitch? And I thought, that is not a flattering look, lady, 1498 01:13:57.399 --> 01:13:58.920 not a flattering look at all. 1499 01:13:59.079 --> 01:14:02.039 Oh yeah, Jen, Yeah whatever. 1500 01:14:02.159 --> 01:14:02.479 I don't know. 1501 01:14:02.560 --> 01:14:04.479 I just thought, you know what, Sometimes I grew up 1502 01:14:04.479 --> 01:14:05.960 in the South, where if you can't say anything nice, 1503 01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:06.800 don't say anything at all. 1504 01:14:07.119 --> 01:14:08.600 Maybe she should have done that instead. 1505 01:14:10.439 --> 01:14:13.720 It too really good story in the Westwood Westward right 1506 01:14:13.800 --> 01:14:18.720 now about downtown businesses who are struggling to stay open 1507 01:14:19.000 --> 01:14:23.039 under endless construction, who are now being hassled by the 1508 01:14:23.119 --> 01:14:27.800 City of Denver's Community Planning and Development Office for their signage. 1509 01:14:28.600 --> 01:14:31.399 This is just another example of why government sucks. If 1510 01:14:31.439 --> 01:14:34.279 you can't give these businesses a break, well, their entire 1511 01:14:34.439 --> 01:14:37.439 lives are being disrupted by all the crap you're doing 1512 01:14:37.479 --> 01:14:40.199 to downtown. This is why people hate government. In one 1513 01:14:40.279 --> 01:14:46.439 fell swoop and one last story for veterans right now, 1514 01:14:46.720 --> 01:14:48.800 if you get a text message saying, hey, this is 1515 01:14:48.840 --> 01:14:52.359 the VA, you may qualify from benefits. It is not 1516 01:14:52.640 --> 01:14:55.520 a scam now, just to be sure, you can hang 1517 01:14:55.640 --> 01:14:58.640 up and call the VA. But they're actually doing outreach 1518 01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:00.920 to veterans, you may qualify for benefits. 1519 01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:03.880 That they are not getting. This is new for the VA, 1520 01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:06.520 which usually does all in its power to keep people 1521 01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:08.800 from getting the benefits their own. Check it out. 1522 01:15:08.880 --> 01:15:10.560 I've got that link to the story in the Denver 1523 01:15:10.680 --> 01:15:13.520 Post as well. And have you heard about the Dubai 1524 01:15:13.640 --> 01:15:17.760 Chocolate Bar. It is a chocolate bar with this dessert 1525 01:15:18.000 --> 01:15:20.319 that they have in the Middle East that is made 1526 01:15:20.359 --> 01:15:24.000 up of shredded filo dough and pistachio cream and then 1527 01:15:24.039 --> 01:15:26.720 it's covered with chocolate and I want this so bad. 1528 01:15:27.199 --> 01:15:30.600 And now there are three places in Colorado that are 1529 01:15:30.640 --> 01:15:34.279 doing a knockoff version. So if you like me, if 1530 01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:36.880 you like me have wanted to try this thing since 1531 01:15:36.920 --> 01:15:40.680 you saw it on social media, absolutely now you can 1532 01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:43.039 find it at Reem's Bakery I know where that one is, 1533 01:15:43.479 --> 01:15:47.199 Colorado Cocoa Pod, which is an online bakery, and then 1534 01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:52.399 Conw's Corner Cafe on twenty ninth Avenue in Denver. So 1535 01:15:54.439 --> 01:15:56.920 these are expensive. Don't be thinking that you're gonna just 1536 01:15:57.000 --> 01:15:59.239 go get one and it's going to be like, you know, 1537 01:15:59.399 --> 01:16:00.720 a five bucks or whatever. 1538 01:16:01.399 --> 01:16:06.159 They're like twenty bucks. But they are really, really, really 1539 01:16:07.720 --> 01:16:09.520 challenging to make thank you, ay Rod. 1540 01:16:09.640 --> 01:16:13.319 According to some users on social media, some Rocky Mountain 1541 01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:17.239 Chocolate Factory locations are said to carry the Dubai chocolate bar, 1542 01:16:18.039 --> 01:16:22.079 but the Denver Gazette could not find it. A representative 1543 01:16:22.119 --> 01:16:25.119 of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory explained that the businesses are 1544 01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:29.479 individually operated franchisees, so call ahead and check to see 1545 01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:31.279 if location near you has it. I will have a 1546 01:16:31.319 --> 01:16:33.000 full report after I have it. We're gonna take a 1547 01:16:33.079 --> 01:16:35.039 quick time out. Okay, now I can take a break. 1548 01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:36.960 He used to be a former. 1549 01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:39.800 White House while he is a former White House OMB 1550 01:16:40.000 --> 01:16:43.840 Chief Economists, that's the Office of Management and Budget Chief Economists. 1551 01:16:44.079 --> 01:16:46.479 Doctor Van Skin joining me at two thirty. We haven't 1552 01:16:46.479 --> 01:16:49.479 talked about the fact that Congress just passed a continuing 1553 01:16:49.920 --> 01:16:55.399 resolution because they refuse to do what their job is 1554 01:16:55.640 --> 01:16:56.600 and that has pass. 1555 01:16:56.960 --> 01:16:59.720 Different budgets for different departments. 1556 01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:02.920 So we get another continuous resolution that keeps spending going 1557 01:17:03.000 --> 01:17:04.039 until the end of December. 1558 01:17:04.239 --> 01:17:05.199 Does anybody really think. 1559 01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:07.279 They're going to pass twelve budget bills by the end 1560 01:17:07.319 --> 01:17:10.760 of December. No, they're not, which means we'll get another 1561 01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:13.239 omnibus spending bill which is going to be chock full 1562 01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:16.319 of pork and deficits spending. So we're going to talk 1563 01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:17.920 to him in just a few minutes. I want to 1564 01:17:17.960 --> 01:17:19.000 dip into this Gallop. 1565 01:17:18.760 --> 01:17:23.880 Poll real quick. We see a lot of polls like, Oh, you're. 1566 01:17:23.720 --> 01:17:25.800 Gonna vote for Kamala Harris, You're gonna vote for Donald Trump, 1567 01:17:26.720 --> 01:17:32.439 and people are not necessarily looking at the underlying sort 1568 01:17:32.479 --> 01:17:39.319 of mood of the country. And Gallup has so Gallup 1569 01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:43.680 measures the president. They call it the presidential election environment. 1570 01:17:45.039 --> 01:17:50.199 Now lately they're looking at things. 1571 01:17:50.239 --> 01:17:55.960 That are in relationship to past presidential election outcomes, and 1572 01:17:56.039 --> 01:17:57.920 they have a whole list of things, things like party 1573 01:17:57.960 --> 01:18:02.520 identification and leaning, prey better able to handle most important problems, 1574 01:18:03.039 --> 01:18:08.680 US satisfaction, economic confidence, party better able to keep America prosperous, 1575 01:18:09.000 --> 01:18:13.960 presidential job approval, party favorable ratings, party better able to 1576 01:18:14.039 --> 01:18:18.920 keep America safe from international threats, preference for government activity, 1577 01:18:20.159 --> 01:18:25.920 and in all of those categories, Republicans are leading Democrats 1578 01:18:26.760 --> 01:18:32.720 according to Gallup. So when it comes to party identification 1579 01:18:32.800 --> 01:18:38.800 and leaning, forty eight percent currently lean Republican and are 1580 01:18:38.920 --> 01:18:44.520 Republican forty five percent Democratic are lean Democratic party better 1581 01:18:44.600 --> 01:18:49.880 able to handle the most important problem. The Republican party 1582 01:18:50.159 --> 01:18:54.279 is viewed at forty six percent, the Democratic Party forty. 1583 01:18:54.079 --> 01:18:55.199 One percent. 1584 01:18:56.960 --> 01:19:00.319 US satisfaction twenty two percent satisfied. 1585 01:19:01.119 --> 01:19:02.079 That's not a good number. 1586 01:19:02.439 --> 01:19:08.479 Economic confidence a minus twenty eight index score. Party better 1587 01:19:08.600 --> 01:19:13.159 able to keep America prosperous Democrats forty four percent, Republicans 1588 01:19:13.479 --> 01:19:18.359 fifty percent. Presidential job approval thirty nine percent. That modes 1589 01:19:18.399 --> 01:19:21.920 well for Republicans party favorable ratings. 1590 01:19:21.960 --> 01:19:24.439 I was kind of shocked by this, you guys. The 1591 01:19:24.560 --> 01:19:28.199 Republican Party is at forty three percent approval, Democratic Party 1592 01:19:28.279 --> 01:19:29.680 forty two percent approval. 1593 01:19:31.159 --> 01:19:34.359 Party better able to keep America safe from international threats, 1594 01:19:34.359 --> 01:19:39.920 and this is not even close. Republican Party fifty four percent, 1595 01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:43.960 Democratic Party forty percent preference for government activity fifty five 1596 01:19:44.039 --> 01:19:49.039 percent say do less, only forty one percent say do more. 1597 01:19:49.560 --> 01:19:53.399 And that, of course is good for Republicans. Congressional job 1598 01:19:53.479 --> 01:19:57.800 approval twenty percent approval. Obviously, no one is going to 1599 01:19:57.920 --> 01:20:02.920 find that helpful at all. So these numbers are kind 1600 01:20:02.960 --> 01:20:05.720 of and this is from September third to the fifteenth, 1601 01:20:07.439 --> 01:20:10.399 so you're seeing polls about the election, but then you're 1602 01:20:10.439 --> 01:20:14.399 seeing what people really believe, and one has to wonder 1603 01:20:14.880 --> 01:20:21.119 will people's visceral hatred of Donald Trump overwhelm the things 1604 01:20:21.199 --> 01:20:23.640 that they normally vote on. If that answer is yes, 1605 01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:26.840 then Kamala Harris wins. But if that answer is no, 1606 01:20:27.800 --> 01:20:29.920 then Donald Trump, I think, gets another term. But of 1607 01:20:29.960 --> 01:20:32.520 course I'm a terrible prognosticator, so don't ask me who's. 1608 01:20:32.279 --> 01:20:32.600 Going to win. 1609 01:20:32.640 --> 01:20:34.720 When we get back, we are going to talk about 1610 01:20:34.800 --> 01:20:37.439 something that I believe should be at the center of 1611 01:20:37.560 --> 01:20:40.680 every campaign and yet it isn't, and that is the 1612 01:20:40.800 --> 01:20:41.399 national debt. 1613 01:20:41.439 --> 01:20:42.159 We'll do that next. 1614 01:20:42.399 --> 01:20:45.720 Doctor Van skin he's an economist and a smart guy, 1615 01:20:45.840 --> 01:20:48.159 and he's as annoyed as I am that once again 1616 01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:52.720 Congress has completely abdicated their responsibility to pass budget bills 1617 01:20:52.720 --> 01:20:55.680 and have just passed another continuing resolution. 1618 01:20:56.560 --> 01:20:57.640 Fans, welcome to the show. 1619 01:21:00.319 --> 01:21:01.520 Hi many, it's a pleasure with you. 1620 01:21:01.640 --> 01:21:03.439 Thank you for having me on. And I am just 1621 01:21:03.520 --> 01:21:05.840 as upset about the deficit spending as you. 1622 01:21:06.520 --> 01:21:08.520 Now, what is your background? Give my listeners a little 1623 01:21:08.520 --> 01:21:09.720 bit of window of who you are. 1624 01:21:10.359 --> 01:21:15.720 Vance Yeah, so I worked at the Trump White House. 1625 01:21:15.760 --> 01:21:17.800 I was the chief economist for the Office of Management 1626 01:21:17.840 --> 01:21:20.039 and Budget for about a year from June twenty nineteen 1627 01:21:20.079 --> 01:21:22.279 and May of twenty twenty. I've also worked with a 1628 01:21:22.359 --> 01:21:25.560 lot of state think tanks and national think tanks across 1629 01:21:25.640 --> 01:21:27.359 the country, and do a lot. 1630 01:21:27.279 --> 01:21:27.760 Of other work. 1631 01:21:27.760 --> 01:21:30.039 I also have a podcast called let pul Prosper where 1632 01:21:30.079 --> 01:21:32.920 I talk a lot about these key important issues about 1633 01:21:32.960 --> 01:21:35.399 fiscal budgeting and monetary policy and a whole bunch of 1634 01:21:35.439 --> 01:21:36.039 other issues. 1635 01:21:36.439 --> 01:21:38.800 So, vance if you were part of the Trump administration, 1636 01:21:38.880 --> 01:21:41.439 then I'm gonna ask you a pointed question, because for me, 1637 01:21:41.680 --> 01:21:44.720 that was a big area of disappointment, and COVID threw 1638 01:21:44.800 --> 01:21:47.640 everything into chaos, so we don't know what would have 1639 01:21:47.760 --> 01:21:51.279 happened had his economic policies been allowed to unfold. 1640 01:21:50.960 --> 01:21:53.880 In a natural way. So I'm gonna concede that point. 1641 01:21:54.239 --> 01:21:58.039 But spending in the Trump administration, even before COVID was 1642 01:21:58.199 --> 01:22:00.279 well beyond what I thought it should have been. Is 1643 01:22:00.319 --> 01:22:03.640 there any hope that in another Trump administration we're going 1644 01:22:03.720 --> 01:22:05.199 to see And I'm not asking to speak for the 1645 01:22:05.239 --> 01:22:07.439 Trump campaign, by the way, I'm not doing that, But 1646 01:22:07.560 --> 01:22:10.640 what are your thoughts about the level of seriousness that 1647 01:22:10.960 --> 01:22:14.760 debt and deficit spending are seen in that administration? 1648 01:22:17.520 --> 01:22:20.640 Well, I also share your concern about how much was 1649 01:22:20.720 --> 01:22:23.319 being spent during the Trump of years. Of course, it 1650 01:22:23.399 --> 01:22:26.399 was Congress that spent passes the budgets, but the president 1651 01:22:26.520 --> 01:22:28.039 could have vetoed. 1652 01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:29.800 Them and done more to do that, and we were 1653 01:22:29.880 --> 01:22:30.960 trying to behind the scenes. 1654 01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:32.680 We were trying to push it to have lower spending 1655 01:22:32.760 --> 01:22:34.840 at the end of the day, and you're right, COVID 1656 01:22:34.880 --> 01:22:36.920 blew that out of the water even more with trillions 1657 01:22:36.960 --> 01:22:39.439 of dollars, and then Biden administration came in and put 1658 01:22:39.479 --> 01:22:42.159 that spending on steroids. So we've run up of another 1659 01:22:42.199 --> 01:22:44.760 twelve trillion dollars or so the last four plus years 1660 01:22:45.199 --> 01:22:47.439 as massive, and we're spending at trillion dollars just on 1661 01:22:47.560 --> 01:22:49.039 that interest payments on the debt alone. 1662 01:22:49.439 --> 01:22:50.279 It's just ridiculous. 1663 01:22:50.359 --> 01:22:52.720 And so one of the things that I'm still concerned about, though, 1664 01:22:52.760 --> 01:22:55.640 to your point, Mandy, is that the president hasn't taught 1665 01:22:55.760 --> 01:22:58.119 much about the budget. I mean, during that last presidential 1666 01:22:58.159 --> 01:23:00.159 debate or even the first one, I don't even think 1667 01:23:00.199 --> 01:23:01.560 spending was mentioned at all. 1668 01:23:01.640 --> 01:23:03.039 Nor the depsits were mentioned. 1669 01:23:02.800 --> 01:23:03.199 It at all. 1670 01:23:03.479 --> 01:23:06.000 And this is a huge concern for me that I 1671 01:23:06.079 --> 01:23:08.239 talk a lot about and I know you do too 1672 01:23:08.279 --> 01:23:10.920 as well. So this is something we've got to get 1673 01:23:10.920 --> 01:23:13.000 control over, and it's both parties. I mean, this is 1674 01:23:13.039 --> 01:23:16.119 a bipartisan spending crisis is the way I like to 1675 01:23:16.159 --> 01:23:19.199 put it. That's been happening for decades now, and we've 1676 01:23:19.279 --> 01:23:21.640 got to get under control. There are a few, you know, 1677 01:23:21.720 --> 01:23:23.439 that are out there that will talk a good game, 1678 01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:25.359 and I think are trying to do good things. Center 1679 01:23:25.439 --> 01:23:28.399 Rand Paul had his six penny plan, which is basically 1680 01:23:28.520 --> 01:23:30.880 cut six percent over the next few years and balance 1681 01:23:30.960 --> 01:23:34.399 the budget, but that was rejected today. At the same time, 1682 01:23:34.479 --> 01:23:37.279 they're spending in the cr bill more and more. So 1683 01:23:37.399 --> 01:23:39.000 it's a massive spending problem. 1684 01:23:39.720 --> 01:23:41.600 Ran Paul I lived in Kentucky for three years and 1685 01:23:41.640 --> 01:23:44.720 I'm a huge Rand Paul fan, along with Congressman Thomas Massey, 1686 01:23:45.039 --> 01:23:48.800 who has been very vocally opposed to the continuing resolutions 1687 01:23:48.840 --> 01:23:49.359 that we're seeing. 1688 01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:49.880 Why. 1689 01:23:50.319 --> 01:23:52.239 I mean, we're just going to have. 1690 01:23:52.319 --> 01:23:56.000 To get to a debt crisis situation before anybody in 1691 01:23:56.079 --> 01:23:58.520 Congress takes so seriously. That's what I'm afraid of. And 1692 01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:00.880 what does that look for look like for the American people. 1693 01:24:03.359 --> 01:24:05.520 Well, unfortunately, I think we're seeing a lot of that now. 1694 01:24:05.680 --> 01:24:08.279 We saw higher interest rates, right, the interest rates soward. 1695 01:24:08.399 --> 01:24:09.920 That's a big part of what you see during a 1696 01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:12.840 debt crisis. We saw inflation soar because the Federal Reserve 1697 01:24:12.920 --> 01:24:14.800 printed a lot of that money. I mean their balance. 1698 01:24:14.880 --> 01:24:17.399 She went from four trillion to nine trillion. It's still 1699 01:24:17.479 --> 01:24:19.920 seven trillion. It's way too high. You know, the Federal 1700 01:24:19.920 --> 01:24:22.720 Reserve cut interest rates by fifty basis points last week, 1701 01:24:23.079 --> 01:24:23.800 and I think that. 1702 01:24:23.920 --> 01:24:24.439 Was a mistake. 1703 01:24:25.079 --> 01:24:26.600 I think we're going to fall into the same traps 1704 01:24:26.640 --> 01:24:29.479 we did during the nineteen seventies whenever they cut interest 1705 01:24:29.560 --> 01:24:32.520 rates too fast and inflation shot up again. And now 1706 01:24:32.600 --> 01:24:35.199 we have even a worse situation because you know, Congress 1707 01:24:35.279 --> 01:24:37.680 is overspending more than they were back then, and so 1708 01:24:37.800 --> 01:24:40.840 this is going to lead more to increases and ammunition 1709 01:24:40.920 --> 01:24:43.479 for the Federal Reserve to print money, increase inflation in 1710 01:24:43.520 --> 01:24:46.439 the economy. And so I'm very concerned about a debt crisis. 1711 01:24:46.520 --> 01:24:49.119 And the spending crisis is happening now. A lot of 1712 01:24:49.159 --> 01:24:50.960 people will blame it on the Trump tax cuts and 1713 01:24:51.039 --> 01:24:54.560 other revenue issues, but it's not a revenue problem. This 1714 01:24:54.680 --> 01:24:56.920 is clearly a spending problem. And I think what we've 1715 01:24:56.960 --> 01:25:00.319 got to do is cut spending today and then strain 1716 01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:02.800 the growth of spending over time. If we do that, 1717 01:25:02.960 --> 01:25:04.479 we could find a better path forward. 1718 01:25:04.680 --> 01:25:08.079 Not only for the spending situation, but for the economy. 1719 01:25:07.800 --> 01:25:11.760 Because all this deficits and debt really matters also to 1720 01:25:11.920 --> 01:25:14.880 main street and on the economy because interest rates are 1721 01:25:14.920 --> 01:25:17.279 soaring and people can't afford homes and things that nature. 1722 01:25:17.319 --> 01:25:20.399 This is a major problem that's driven by Washington DC. 1723 01:25:21.000 --> 01:25:23.039 I have the video on the blog today by Milton 1724 01:25:23.079 --> 01:25:25.920 Friedman from like the late seventies, maybe nineteen eighty. I'm 1725 01:25:25.960 --> 01:25:27.920 not sure exactly what the ear is, but he does 1726 01:25:28.000 --> 01:25:31.279 this kind of like walk through on inflation, and it's 1727 01:25:31.359 --> 01:25:32.680 really at a fifth grade level. 1728 01:25:32.720 --> 01:25:34.000 I mean, that's why I put it on the blog. 1729 01:25:34.000 --> 01:25:35.560 I'm like, if you have somebody who doesn't understand this, 1730 01:25:36.000 --> 01:25:38.279 But what it comes down to what we're seeing right 1731 01:25:38.319 --> 01:25:41.159 now and we've seen since, especially since COVID, is that 1732 01:25:41.239 --> 01:25:45.880 the Federal Reserve is enabling the federal government's spending by 1733 01:25:46.000 --> 01:25:49.680 continuing to print money and buying treasury bonds. So they 1734 01:25:49.720 --> 01:25:53.399 are if the Fed doesn't keep printing money, then no 1735 01:25:53.479 --> 01:25:55.800 one's going to buy those treasury bonds, and the federal 1736 01:25:55.840 --> 01:25:57.560 government cannot continue spending. 1737 01:25:58.000 --> 01:26:00.119 Even though the Federal Reserve is supposed to be a 1738 01:26:00.239 --> 01:26:01.079 non you know. 1739 01:26:01.079 --> 01:26:04.119 It's supposed to be a non political entity. So people 1740 01:26:04.239 --> 01:26:07.399 need to understand that we flooded the money supply. We 1741 01:26:07.520 --> 01:26:10.239 flooded the country with money. We flooded all the markets 1742 01:26:10.279 --> 01:26:12.760 with money from the FED, and that's why we are 1743 01:26:12.840 --> 01:26:15.439 now paying the invisible tax that is inflation. 1744 01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:18.039 And too many people do not make that connection. 1745 01:26:18.560 --> 01:26:21.039 And it's super frustrating when I hear people say it's 1746 01:26:21.119 --> 01:26:24.640 corporate greed, it's you know, it's whatever. And Milton Friedman 1747 01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:28.199 actually uses the example of it's not union wages, you know, 1748 01:26:28.279 --> 01:26:31.199 because people will blame it on union wages driving Those 1749 01:26:31.239 --> 01:26:34.199 are a lagging indicator instead of leaking and e leading indicator. 1750 01:26:34.279 --> 01:26:36.960 So in your in your podcast one are the kind 1751 01:26:36.960 --> 01:26:40.239 of things that you explain when it comes to because 1752 01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:42.600 my big thing is this, somebody texts me. We have 1753 01:26:42.640 --> 01:26:45.239 a text line and they say things like, you know, 1754 01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:48.199 back in the nineteen fifties, we had the highest tax 1755 01:26:48.319 --> 01:26:51.560 rates on the one percent and we had prosperity. But 1756 01:26:51.720 --> 01:26:54.199 what really happened in the nineteen fifties is the government 1757 01:26:54.319 --> 01:26:57.119 contracted all that spending from World War Two and the 1758 01:26:57.199 --> 01:26:59.880 economy roared. Why is that lesson loss? 1759 01:27:00.319 --> 01:27:03.520 Yeah, yeah, it's a great point. 1760 01:27:03.560 --> 01:27:05.239 And Milton Freeman is my favorite economist. 1761 01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:07.640 So I watch a lot of his youtubes and I 1762 01:27:07.720 --> 01:27:09.800 talk a lot about these things on my podcast like 1763 01:27:09.920 --> 01:27:12.119 you Will Prosper Show and try to break it down 1764 01:27:12.159 --> 01:27:14.439 as simply as possible, because you're right. I mean, the 1765 01:27:14.520 --> 01:27:16.119 inflation is an inflation tax. 1766 01:27:16.439 --> 01:27:17.159 We all feel it. 1767 01:27:17.560 --> 01:27:19.800 That the crisis that's out there on spending, we're all 1768 01:27:19.840 --> 01:27:22.680 feeling it through higher interest rates today and everything else. 1769 01:27:22.760 --> 01:27:25.640 And so when people I think we've lost. 1770 01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:28.680 Sight of how good we have it in some sense today, 1771 01:27:28.760 --> 01:27:30.199 and some people want to go back to the nineteen 1772 01:27:30.239 --> 01:27:33.600 fifties or something else. But there's a lot of things 1773 01:27:33.640 --> 01:27:36.079 that I think America gets right today. The problem is 1774 01:27:36.159 --> 01:27:40.319 is in Washington, DC, they don't understand that's definicit spending 1775 01:27:40.439 --> 01:27:44.000 really matters, and it grows the size of government, which 1776 01:27:44.279 --> 01:27:45.520 which removes our liberty. 1777 01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:48.479 The government has no money. Nothing is free, and so 1778 01:27:48.600 --> 01:27:49.560 they take it from. 1779 01:27:49.439 --> 01:27:52.079 Us, out of the productive private sector, to redistribute it 1780 01:27:52.119 --> 01:27:54.720 to someone else. That's all the government spending is. It's 1781 01:27:54.800 --> 01:27:57.079 not some candy and sort of logic to where the 1782 01:27:57.199 --> 01:27:59.760 government can stimulate the economy and grow in a certain 1783 01:27:59.760 --> 01:28:01.920 area is no. What they do is they take it 1784 01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:04.520 from person a and give it to person B and 1785 01:28:04.640 --> 01:28:07.439 there's no growth in the economy. In fact, it reduces 1786 01:28:07.479 --> 01:28:11.279 the economy because it reduces the productive purposes that are 1787 01:28:11.319 --> 01:28:14.520 happening before they tried to redistribute that money. So I think, 1788 01:28:14.560 --> 01:28:16.560 you know, Milton Freema was exactly right. Too much money 1789 01:28:16.680 --> 01:28:19.319 chasing too few goods is what inflation is. And what 1790 01:28:19.399 --> 01:28:21.760 we see in the last especially four years, is a 1791 01:28:21.840 --> 01:28:24.520 lot of increasing the money supply driving demand, and then 1792 01:28:24.680 --> 01:28:27.560 high regulations at high tax and high spending that have 1793 01:28:27.680 --> 01:28:30.960 stifled the supply side of the economy and contributed to 1794 01:28:31.119 --> 01:28:33.640 massive amount of inflation. And this is why I think 1795 01:28:33.720 --> 01:28:36.520 we have an issue to where whether it's Harris or 1796 01:28:36.640 --> 01:28:40.000 Trump right now, there could be more inflationary pressures because 1797 01:28:40.039 --> 01:28:42.119 neither one of them were talking about spending. 1798 01:28:42.079 --> 01:28:45.840 No, no, and both of them, you know, I hesitate 1799 01:28:45.920 --> 01:28:48.920 to call them dumb ass ideas, but they've figed out 1800 01:28:48.960 --> 01:28:51.239 some real dumb ass ideas, both of them. I mean, 1801 01:28:51.279 --> 01:28:55.399 the Trump Terriff situation is not good for consumers. Harris 1802 01:28:55.560 --> 01:28:57.720 is trying to give away more money, but only the 1803 01:28:57.760 --> 01:29:02.279 people she chooses, and she, I guess, announced another no 1804 01:29:02.560 --> 01:29:06.359 interest small business loan program that if you've never if 1805 01:29:06.399 --> 01:29:09.039 you've ever dealt with government loan programs like the SBA. 1806 01:29:09.119 --> 01:29:12.399 You already know how cumbersome they are. Neither of these 1807 01:29:12.479 --> 01:29:15.000 people are blazing a trail on economics. So what does 1808 01:29:15.119 --> 01:29:16.319 what does an average citizen do? 1809 01:29:16.640 --> 01:29:18.319 What do you do if you're worried about this, like 1810 01:29:18.439 --> 01:29:21.960 I am, yeah, oh man, I've been kind of pulling 1811 01:29:21.960 --> 01:29:23.399 my hair out because you know, one day with Trump 1812 01:29:23.399 --> 01:29:26.159 will talk about, well, we're gonna exempt taxes and Social Security. 1813 01:29:26.199 --> 01:29:27.920 Then we're gonna exempt taxes on tips. 1814 01:29:28.199 --> 01:29:30.680 And the more that you narrow the tax base, the 1815 01:29:30.800 --> 01:29:32.760 higher that the rates are otherwise going to be, or 1816 01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:35.479 we're gonna's gonna run massive deficits. Instead, we should have 1817 01:29:35.560 --> 01:29:38.119 the broadest base possible with the lowest rates, and hopefully 1818 01:29:38.159 --> 01:29:40.239 a flat income tax rate is ultimately what we need 1819 01:29:40.479 --> 01:29:43.359 and cut government spending in the process. But until then, 1820 01:29:43.800 --> 01:29:45.840 I think, you know, there's gonna be a lot more 1821 01:29:45.920 --> 01:29:48.239 economic uncertainty. I've been writing a lot about this at 1822 01:29:48.279 --> 01:29:51.239 American's for Tax Reform and American Institute for Economic Research, 1823 01:29:51.479 --> 01:29:54.199 saying that the economic concertainty that's being brought forth by 1824 01:29:54.279 --> 01:29:56.880 both of these campaigns, Even though I do think that 1825 01:29:56.920 --> 01:29:58.880 the Trump campaign is having a little bit more pro 1826 01:29:59.039 --> 01:30:01.640 growth policies course than the Harris administration. 1827 01:30:02.039 --> 01:30:04.640 They're both leading to more economic uncertainty. And I'm a 1828 01:30:04.680 --> 01:30:07.439 free trade guy. I debated this a lot with Peter 1829 01:30:07.600 --> 01:30:10.239 Navarro and others within the White House. They didn't see 1830 01:30:10.239 --> 01:30:10.640 it my way. 1831 01:30:10.720 --> 01:30:12.800 The presidents didn't see my way. But I really think 1832 01:30:12.880 --> 01:30:15.239 that free trade is the way that we will pressure 1833 01:30:15.359 --> 01:30:19.119 China to change their habits. By putting tariffs on them 1834 01:30:19.159 --> 01:30:21.920 and everything else, it doesn't change their ways because they're 1835 01:30:21.920 --> 01:30:22.840 a communist country. 1836 01:30:23.079 --> 01:30:23.760 They don't care. 1837 01:30:23.600 --> 01:30:24.279 About their people. 1838 01:30:24.520 --> 01:30:27.000 But if you start, if you start changing the dynamics 1839 01:30:27.119 --> 01:30:30.239 of other trading partners, now, that influences them because that 1840 01:30:30.359 --> 01:30:32.640 reduces their power. And I'm hopeful that would be the 1841 01:30:32.720 --> 01:30:35.239 way we go. But unfortunately we're talking about tariffs all 1842 01:30:35.239 --> 01:30:35.520 the time. 1843 01:30:35.800 --> 01:30:35.960 Well. 1844 01:30:36.039 --> 01:30:38.359 I do think that in some ways Trump has a 1845 01:30:38.520 --> 01:30:43.399 very sort of nineteen fifties view of American manufacturing, right, 1846 01:30:43.479 --> 01:30:46.600 and I genuinely think he believes we can be the 1847 01:30:46.680 --> 01:30:49.520 leader in the world in manufacturing. But the reality is 1848 01:30:49.640 --> 01:30:52.359 is that our standard of living is very high now, right, 1849 01:30:52.920 --> 01:30:54.560 And that's good, that's great. 1850 01:30:54.439 --> 01:30:55.840 That we have a high standard of living. 1851 01:30:56.239 --> 01:30:58.600 So it makes it very difficult, difficult to compete with 1852 01:30:58.760 --> 01:31:03.600 places that don't like China, like Mexico, like developing economies 1853 01:31:03.960 --> 01:31:06.640 where they can make things much cheaper than they can 1854 01:31:06.720 --> 01:31:09.199 make them here because they pay people forty bucks a month. 1855 01:31:10.079 --> 01:31:12.520 So I mean, how is there a way? 1856 01:31:12.600 --> 01:31:12.760 Though? 1857 01:31:12.880 --> 01:31:15.560 I mean, this is something that I think is something 1858 01:31:15.640 --> 01:31:17.960 that needs to be addressed, and that is, how do 1859 01:31:18.039 --> 01:31:22.159 you ensure that the United States in an emergency situation 1860 01:31:22.439 --> 01:31:23.439 can get things done? 1861 01:31:23.560 --> 01:31:25.920 How do we build new aircraft carriers? How do we 1862 01:31:26.000 --> 01:31:27.399 make steal how do we. 1863 01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:31.359 Protect those things that protect our ability to defend ourselves? 1864 01:31:32.319 --> 01:31:33.720 This is totally off the beaten track. 1865 01:31:33.760 --> 01:31:35.319 I don't know if I'm asking you stuff outside your 1866 01:31:35.319 --> 01:31:35.960 wheelhouse here. 1867 01:31:35.960 --> 01:31:38.760 No, No, it's fine, it's fine. 1868 01:31:39.159 --> 01:31:41.920 These are all national security type threats, right, and that 1869 01:31:42.039 --> 01:31:45.000 I think are legitimate concerns that should be addressed. And 1870 01:31:45.479 --> 01:31:46.920 one of the things that I like to point out 1871 01:31:47.159 --> 01:31:49.359 is that when we point our fingers at someone else 1872 01:31:49.479 --> 01:31:52.319 like China, we've got three more fingers pointing back at ourselves. 1873 01:31:52.720 --> 01:31:54.800 There's more that we should be doing in America to. 1874 01:31:54.840 --> 01:31:57.760 Reduce the cost of business instead of just blaming other countries, 1875 01:31:58.159 --> 01:32:00.680 like reducing the corporate income tax rate. Trump has talked 1876 01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:03.000 about reducing it to fifteen percent. I would like for 1877 01:32:03.000 --> 01:32:05.840 it to be zero percent, because businesses don't play pay taxes. 1878 01:32:05.880 --> 01:32:09.319 People do through the form of higher prices, lower wages, 1879 01:32:09.359 --> 01:32:12.479 and fewer jobs. We also should be reducing regulations. 1880 01:32:12.680 --> 01:32:13.399 There's a lot of. 1881 01:32:14.479 --> 01:32:16.800 Hoops that we've got to jump jump through in order 1882 01:32:16.880 --> 01:32:18.800 to get stilled to the market. There's a lot of 1883 01:32:18.920 --> 01:32:21.399 jump hoops that were going to jump through to get 1884 01:32:21.479 --> 01:32:23.720 food to the market, and so much more that if 1885 01:32:23.760 --> 01:32:26.359 we remove those obstacles, we may to be much more 1886 01:32:26.439 --> 01:32:29.119 competitive and wouldn't have to blame other countries. And one 1887 01:32:29.119 --> 01:32:31.479 thing I like to note too about manufacturing is that 1888 01:32:31.800 --> 01:32:35.199 where we're reaching manufacturing highs and output, it's just that 1889 01:32:35.359 --> 01:32:38.720 the employment has declined over time. And that's not just 1890 01:32:38.840 --> 01:32:42.239 because of China and other countries through trade. A lot 1891 01:32:42.319 --> 01:32:44.720 of it was through automation, which has made our lives 1892 01:32:44.800 --> 01:32:47.720 better along the way. Not to say if there wasn't 1893 01:32:47.800 --> 01:32:50.520 a cost to those people losing their jobs, but there 1894 01:32:50.560 --> 01:32:52.720 were other jobs that were created in the process, and 1895 01:32:52.840 --> 01:32:55.760 we had cheaper products that we should you know, consumers 1896 01:32:55.800 --> 01:32:56.479 really like as well. 1897 01:32:56.560 --> 01:32:58.520 So there's a lot of factors that go into this. 1898 01:32:58.840 --> 01:33:00.680 One of the things I think people forget is that 1899 01:33:00.920 --> 01:33:05.319 trade free trade. It increases the buying power of people 1900 01:33:05.479 --> 01:33:08.079 on the lower ends of the socioeconomic spectrum a lot, 1901 01:33:08.640 --> 01:33:11.399 not a little, a lot. So when you're talking about 1902 01:33:11.439 --> 01:33:13.760 the sad part, that is, people are going to lose jobs, right, 1903 01:33:14.119 --> 01:33:16.279 but there are other people, a larger group of people 1904 01:33:16.359 --> 01:33:18.760 that are going to benefit quite a bit by having 1905 01:33:18.840 --> 01:33:20.319 that ability to buy something that. 1906 01:33:20.359 --> 01:33:21.760 They want at a very low price. 1907 01:33:21.880 --> 01:33:27.880 I mean, it's it sounds like we're not making progress, 1908 01:33:28.000 --> 01:33:30.279 but it feel like more people are talking about the 1909 01:33:30.359 --> 01:33:31.000 debt and deficit. 1910 01:33:31.119 --> 01:33:33.359 But honestly, and I hate to say. 1911 01:33:33.239 --> 01:33:36.680 This, vance I don't trust Republicans to care about it 1912 01:33:36.760 --> 01:33:39.279 after the election anymore. I feel like all the grown 1913 01:33:39.359 --> 01:33:41.680 ups in the room have left on this issue. Am 1914 01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:42.800 I too pessimistic? 1915 01:33:45.399 --> 01:33:47.640 I don't think so. I'm concerned about it as well. 1916 01:33:48.279 --> 01:33:50.640 You know, I'm hoping hopefully they will see the writing 1917 01:33:50.680 --> 01:33:52.359 on the wall and say, hey, you know what, we've 1918 01:33:52.399 --> 01:33:53.880 got to start doing something different. 1919 01:33:54.399 --> 01:33:57.039 But we've seen we I mean, this problem has been 1920 01:33:57.079 --> 01:33:58.079 around for a long time. 1921 01:33:58.640 --> 01:34:03.039 We've had Republics in Congress where they had the majority 1922 01:34:03.119 --> 01:34:05.399 in the House and the Senate, and a Republican president 1923 01:34:05.720 --> 01:34:08.439 and the deficit continue to go up or at least 1924 01:34:08.520 --> 01:34:10.079 running a deficit overall. 1925 01:34:10.479 --> 01:34:13.239 And you know, part of it is is that I 1926 01:34:13.680 --> 01:34:14.960 you know, one of the concerns I have. 1927 01:34:15.039 --> 01:34:17.439 With some Republicans is that they'll say, well, the tax 1928 01:34:17.520 --> 01:34:20.800 cuts will pay for themselves over time. And there's some 1929 01:34:20.880 --> 01:34:23.560 truth to that in the sense that I believe in incentives. 1930 01:34:23.039 --> 01:34:25.039 And that people work more and will get more output 1931 01:34:25.079 --> 01:34:26.520 and everything else. That's good. 1932 01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:29.600 But in the short run, there will be deficits if 1933 01:34:29.640 --> 01:34:32.039 you continue to spend like drunken sailors. 1934 01:34:32.359 --> 01:34:33.680 And that's what they end up doing. 1935 01:34:33.720 --> 01:34:36.119 And this populism is really a problem from the new 1936 01:34:36.199 --> 01:34:37.680 Right to where they want to give a lot of 1937 01:34:37.760 --> 01:34:40.479 handouts and spending and tax cuts. 1938 01:34:40.960 --> 01:34:42.680 Some of them even want to raise taxes. And the 1939 01:34:42.840 --> 01:34:44.000 number one thing you don't want to do. 1940 01:34:44.359 --> 01:34:48.439 To bring down a deficit is to raise taxes, because 1941 01:34:48.439 --> 01:34:50.880 then you slow economic growth. What we really need is 1942 01:34:50.920 --> 01:34:53.800 more economic growth, about a full percentage point more than 1943 01:34:53.840 --> 01:34:55.399 what we're having now two and a half percent. Get 1944 01:34:55.399 --> 01:34:57.079 it up to three and a half percent, and let's 1945 01:34:57.119 --> 01:34:59.520 rein in government spending. If you did that and had 1946 01:34:59.600 --> 01:35:02.359 spending one percent, we could balance the budget. 1947 01:35:02.079 --> 01:35:02.680 In eight years. 1948 01:35:02.760 --> 01:35:04.520 That's too long. In my view, i'd love. 1949 01:35:04.439 --> 01:35:06.880 To see the budget cut. We don't have to cut anything, 1950 01:35:06.960 --> 01:35:08.680 just slow the growth and you can have it balanced 1951 01:35:08.680 --> 01:35:09.199 with eight ears. 1952 01:35:09.359 --> 01:35:10.479 The sad thing is viance. 1953 01:35:10.600 --> 01:35:14.119 You mentioned Rand Paul's sixpenny plan. It was the one 1954 01:35:14.239 --> 01:35:16.640 penny plan the first time he put it up. If 1955 01:35:16.680 --> 01:35:19.840 they had just passed it, then we would be having 1956 01:35:19.920 --> 01:35:22.520 balanced budgets and we'd be working our way through the 1957 01:35:22.640 --> 01:35:25.720 national debt. And now it's the sixpenny plan. 1958 01:35:25.880 --> 01:35:26.159 Amen. 1959 01:35:26.439 --> 01:35:28.279 Vance Gin is my guest. 1960 01:35:28.359 --> 01:35:30.000 You can find him at vance skin dot com. I 1961 01:35:30.039 --> 01:35:32.319 put a link on the blog today. He has a newsletter, 1962 01:35:32.359 --> 01:35:34.640 he has a podcast. If you're a free market type, 1963 01:35:34.680 --> 01:35:35.359 you should check it out. 1964 01:35:35.439 --> 01:35:37.239 Vice. I really appreciate it. Hoping to talk again in 1965 01:35:37.319 --> 01:35:37.720 the future. 1966 01:35:39.840 --> 01:35:41.199 That was good, Mandy, thank you so much. 1967 01:35:41.239 --> 01:35:45.239 All right, thank you, sir, Nerdy egghead talk Bryan Edwards 1968 01:35:45.319 --> 01:35:45.840 before you're in. 1969 01:35:46.399 --> 01:35:47.159 I love that stuff. 1970 01:35:47.359 --> 01:35:51.680 I do too, although it's so and you know, someday 1971 01:35:51.720 --> 01:35:54.039 I'm going to be proven absolutely one hundred percent right, 1972 01:35:54.520 --> 01:35:56.199 and I don't want to be when it comes to 1973 01:35:56.479 --> 01:35:57.239 the national debt. 1974 01:35:57.319 --> 01:35:58.840 It is going to destroy this country. 1975 01:35:59.159 --> 01:36:02.359 It's going to destroy like all the little crappy pissant 1976 01:36:02.399 --> 01:36:05.119 stuff we're worried about right now is going to seem 1977 01:36:05.880 --> 01:36:07.920 like it's gonna we're gonna look back on it fondly 1978 01:36:08.560 --> 01:36:11.600 when the debt crisis comes, because when the debt crisis comes, 1979 01:36:12.000 --> 01:36:14.520 it's not just the United States the old adage when 1980 01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:16.560 we catch a cold, the world catches it too, and 1981 01:36:16.960 --> 01:36:17.399 it's going. 1982 01:36:17.359 --> 01:36:21.560 To be very, very bad, and no one in power 1983 01:36:21.680 --> 01:36:24.520 seems to care.
