Speaker 1: Are back, and joining me now from the Sengenberger compound
Speaker 1: is Junny Sengenberger, who has written a column today and
Speaker 1: the Denver Gazette come out yesterday's epic clapback by Mayor
Speaker 1: Mike Kaufman and the fake controversy ginned up by media
Speaker 1: horror and racist s grifter Tay Anderson. I think that's
Speaker 1: a pretty good introduction to what we're talking about here, Jimmy.
Speaker 2: I think that fits pretty well. It has been just
Speaker 2: an absolutely wild time, but that's what happens when Tay
Speaker 2: Anderson decides to become a victim again and again and again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean this is such a pattern of behavior,
Speaker 1: it's comical, it really is. I mean, he's one step
Speaker 1: away from becoming a slip and fall artist who just
Speaker 1: makes a living slipping and falling in a Walmart and
Speaker 1: then suing for just under the amount that Walmart will
Speaker 1: settle for, you know what I mean. Like, that's how
Speaker 1: he feels. He got run out of Denver. He got
Speaker 1: run out of Denver, and now he has taken up
Speaker 1: and taken up camp in Aurora.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, Mandy, what he has complained about slipping and
Speaker 3: fall type situations before in a target or being pushed
Speaker 3: by police.
Speaker 4: So actually, what.
Speaker 2: You're saying has literally happened before.
Speaker 1: Of course, of course it has. So what happened on
Speaker 1: Monday night, let's start there.
Speaker 2: Well, bottom line is Hey Anderson has been off the
Speaker 2: board for the Denver School District for a little over
Speaker 2: a year since with the end of November of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three, and since then he has really leaned into
Speaker 2: his role as an activist and an agitator, and so
Speaker 2: for months and months he and other so called protesters
Speaker 2: have shown up at city council meetings in Aurora to
Speaker 2: protest things a variety of different matters, but particularly the
Speaker 2: death of Kylan Lewis, who was shot by police after
Speaker 2: he did not abide by commands. It's a really tragic story,
Speaker 2: but the guy was he was charged with attempted murder
Speaker 2: of a sixty three year old blind man leading up
Speaker 2: to his death. But they have treated the law enforcement
Speaker 2: as though they.
Speaker 4: Are guilty and responsible.
Speaker 2: And need to be held entirely accountable. So, needless to say,
Speaker 2: they've shown up and they have consistently derailed meetings, derailed
Speaker 2: town homes put on by city council members as.
Speaker 4: Well you name it time and time again.
Speaker 2: At the very end of the meeting on Monday, a
Speaker 2: guy who introduced himself as Ted d he spoke up
Speaker 2: and threw a ton of s bombs. Ted deathbomb counter
Speaker 2: is eight, because that's what you do when you're keeping
Speaker 2: classy in your speeds to wrap things up. And it
Speaker 2: was terrible, and clearly.
Speaker 5: That was sort of I think at least feels like
Speaker 5: the last draw for Kaufman, who I.
Speaker 2: Would surmise recognizes that this is tas doing. He's always
Speaker 2: trying to put people up for a show. And he
Speaker 2: went out there to after the meeting and confronted Tay
Speaker 2: and was yelling at him over the death of and
Speaker 2: lead up to the death of a seventeen year old
Speaker 2: kid a few years ago in Denver public schools who
Speaker 2: had shot two deans, a guy by the name of
Speaker 2: Austin Lyle and later took his own life. And he
Speaker 2: was like, you killed or you killed Austin Lyle because
Speaker 2: your policies kept police out of schools.
Speaker 6: And he's not wrong.
Speaker 1: You have to think that a if Austin Lyle knew
Speaker 1: that he was going to be padded down as he
Speaker 1: was every day by police officers. He probably would have
Speaker 1: thought twice about having a gun on his person when
Speaker 1: he knew there was going to be padded down.
Speaker 6: He obviously thought he was going.
Speaker 1: To be able to get away with it because it
Speaker 1: was two administrators and the entire situation is so avoidable.
Speaker 1: Tay Anderson is fully responsible for that. What's interesting about
Speaker 1: the whole thing you said about killing Lewis. John Killner
Speaker 1: presented that case to the grand jury, so the grand
Speaker 1: jury had an opportunity to indict those police officers, and
Speaker 1: they did not. Mister Lewis had a rap sheet of violence,
Speaker 1: and that at that point when police say turn around
Speaker 1: and show us your hands. When you put your hand
Speaker 1: in your pocket and then turn around, things are not
Speaker 1: going to end. Well. What's really gross, and that's the
Speaker 1: word I'm gonna use here, Jimmy, is that by continuing
Speaker 1: to use killing Lewis to forward his own media wore tendencies,
Speaker 1: Tay Anderson is not doing that family any favors. You know,
Speaker 1: he is just keeping the pain of that death going.
Speaker 1: He's picking the scab all the time for his own
Speaker 1: self aggrandizement and I just think that's gross.
Speaker 2: So what happened in the scene is that Kraffman approached
Speaker 2: to Anderson and the protesters were singing a takeoff of
Speaker 2: an old spiritual that they were using as a protest
Speaker 2: song basically, and Kaufman was yelling at Anderson and then
Speaker 2: showed up in front of Anderson, and that guy ted
Speaker 2: Dee jumped in front of him and said, what the
Speaker 2: eff are you doing? Who the f do you think
Speaker 2: you are? And Tay made this all like, oh my gosh,
Speaker 2: my life was in danger. I didn't know what that
Speaker 2: what was going to happen?
Speaker 6: And well what did they do?
Speaker 5: He was so dangerous that the group followed Kaufman out
Speaker 5: of the room as he went to with.
Speaker 2: The you know, Danielle Jarinsky city council woman put her
Speaker 2: arm around his back and kind of led Kaufman out
Speaker 2: of the room, and they, including Tay, followed him, continuing
Speaker 2: to sing as he went to the elevator, and a
Speaker 2: nearby police officer got in between them and walked up
Speaker 2: to the mayor. There was no physical contact from anybody,
Speaker 2: Tokay Anderson. There was no attack, There was nothing of
Speaker 2: the sort. And if it was so dangerous, why.
Speaker 4: Did they follow Kaufman to further antagonize them.
Speaker 2: And this goes to the point you were just making,
Speaker 2: because this is not about a grieving family and pain.
Speaker 2: It is about putting on another show, nothing more and
Speaker 2: nothing less.
Speaker 1: And that's what's so disgusting about it, It really is.
Speaker 1: Does he think he's going to run for office in Aurora?
Speaker 1: Is that what he's ginning up for now now that
Speaker 1: he's been I mean, let's just face it, he's been
Speaker 1: dismissed from Denver, right. He ended his school board career
Speaker 1: that was mired in controversy after he was found to
Speaker 1: be you know, creepily contacting teenage girls and making sexually
Speaker 1: aggressive passes while he was.
Speaker 6: On the school board, which is just disgusting.
Speaker 1: He then decided he was going to run for a
Speaker 1: house seat, and when it became clear that he stood
Speaker 1: no chance of winning that, he's now vacated and moved
Speaker 1: to Aurora. Do you think he's event Do you think
Speaker 1: he's ginning up for some kind of political move in Aurora?
Speaker 1: Or is he grifting successfully enough off of this community
Speaker 1: organizer business to pay the bills without gofundmeeds to you know,
Speaker 1: you know that he is famous for at.
Speaker 2: This point, and I think he likes being a professional activist.
Speaker 2: I see him if he's going to run for something,
Speaker 2: waiting a little bit in time. Maybe he'll see something
Speaker 2: in the next year or two.
Speaker 4: But teller me skeptical about that at this point.
Speaker 2: I think he's probably enjoying professional activism. But Mandy, you
Speaker 2: were hitting at something, which is his tenure on the
Speaker 2: school board. So much of it was really about and
Speaker 2: I covered this very closely for years, about distraction and
Speaker 2: making things about himself and being a disruption.
Speaker 4: And I'll just give you one example, because.
Speaker 2: I was there for a particular meeting where they were
Speaker 2: talking about whether or not I'm hearing public comment as
Speaker 2: well about whether or not to bring back school resource
Speaker 2: officers law enforcement to campuses, which Kay had took charge
Speaker 2: in Banning in twenty twenty. They ultimately did no, thanks
Speaker 2: to Anderson, who voted against it. But at this meeting
Speaker 2: they had the Chief of Police, Ron Thomas there and
Speaker 2: he was answering questions. But Michelle Quadobaum, one of Kay's
Speaker 2: colleagues on the board who's still on the board, she
Speaker 2: took eighteen minutes of that time, asked very few questions.
Speaker 2: Mostly was going on about racism of police and all this.
Speaker 5: And ultimately the school board president at the time, so
Speaker 5: she got Tan cut her mic and then Tay.
Speaker 2: Made a big fit about it and said, you know what, this.
Speaker 4: Is oppressive, that's oppressive. Why don't you Mike His mic
Speaker 4: was cut and he walked down to the staff and
Speaker 4: pointing his finger.
Speaker 2: Kind of like Mike Kaufman did today.
Speaker 5: The raveszeb come complying with the president of the school board.
Speaker 4: And this is a.
Speaker 2: Guy who after Monday is complaining about aggression and how
Speaker 2: Mike Koffman was treating him. And that's just one of
Speaker 2: many examples of Tay Anderson's antics, like that, it must.
Speaker 1: Be amazing to be Tay Anderson, who's not a small man,
Speaker 1: and he's beached up a little bit over the last
Speaker 1: few years. It must be terrifying to be him, to
Speaker 1: run around sure that at any moment the mayor of
Speaker 1: Aurora is gonna come after you and beat you up,
Speaker 1: and you're completely incapable while you're surrounded by supporters of
Speaker 1: defending yourself. He must live, I mean, he must just
Speaker 1: be afraid to leave his house alone.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess so, and I make the point that
Speaker 3: relax on, Tay guess what.
Speaker 4: It's probably not the case of the sixty.
Speaker 2: Nine year old mayor is going to go mortal combat
Speaker 2: on you.
Speaker 5: I could be wrong, but it is a probably not
Speaker 5: gonna happen.
Speaker 4: But that's where I get to my.
Speaker 2: Line in the piece that taking Kay Anderson seriously is
Speaker 2: like debating a dad joke.
Speaker 4: It's pointless, over the top.
Speaker 2: And guaranteed to make you grow.
Speaker 4: And I think that's true.
Speaker 6: Yeah, amen to that.
Speaker 1: We are not even getting to the best part of
Speaker 1: this whole story, and that is Mayor Mike Coffin cracked
Speaker 1: back yesterday on Facebook and basically he said, Tay sit
Speaker 1: down and shut up. I mean, he called him out
Speaker 1: six ways to Sunday. It was a thing of beauty
Speaker 1: to see someone not cower to Tay Anderson's threats of
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call you a racist, I'm gonna accuse you
Speaker 1: of racism, because Mike Coffin was basically like, you know what,
Speaker 1: shut up, you got nothing for you and Aurora and
Speaker 1: we really don't.
Speaker 6: Need to hear anything more.
Speaker 1: And I've never felt more proud of Mayor Coffin in
Speaker 1: my life.
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh, oh me too.
Speaker 2: I read that and I was like, very good, and
Speaker 2: I went and shared it on multiple platforms. I'm look
Speaker 2: at it this way. I have known Kaufinan since I
Speaker 2: was sixteen and he was running for Secretary of State.
Speaker 2: And if he gets in a way where he's fired
Speaker 2: up passionately like this, like he was on Monday, and
Speaker 2: then in his follow up, you know that he's got
Speaker 2: something very specific in mind that has brought him to
Speaker 2: that point. Because he's a very even keeled, level headed
Speaker 2: kind of guy. And there are some people on the
Speaker 2: right who've given him this reputation that he's some kind
Speaker 2: of rhino who's.
Speaker 4: Love me no, But this is a guy who's.
Speaker 2: Just he's very shrewd, he's very shabby when he picks
Speaker 2: his battles, and if he's going to bring a fight
Speaker 2: like this to Tay Anderson, he's gonna give it as all.
Speaker 4: And I guess that's what happens.
Speaker 2: When you were a career military officer in both the
Speaker 2: Army and the Marines, and then you get in a
Speaker 2: position like mayor of Aurora.
Speaker 1: Amen to that, my friend. One of the things I
Speaker 1: like about my confident one of the reasons that people
Speaker 1: do say things like he's a rhino, he knows who
Speaker 1: his constituents are.
Speaker 6: He's not serving himself.
Speaker 1: He is serving the people of Aurora, and sometimes that
Speaker 1: comes into conflict with people who are very, very conservative
Speaker 1: or may have a different viewpoint. But he doesn't serve
Speaker 1: you unless you live at Aurora. So, Jimmy, I don't
Speaker 1: know if you saw.
Speaker 6: This, did you? It's a totally out of left field.
Speaker 1: Did you see that the Florida jury found CNN to
Speaker 1: famed the US Navy veteran.
Speaker 2: I saw the headlined that didn't get to read anything remarkable.
Speaker 2: The come up is for these legacy TV media outlets.
Speaker 1: Well, the jury only awarded him five million dollars in
Speaker 1: compensatory damages. An undisclosed settlement was reached later Friday regarding
Speaker 1: punitive damages. Details of that settlement not immediately available. Jimmy Segenberger,
Speaker 1: keep doing what you're doing. You're writing these great columns
Speaker 1: in the Denver Gazette, and you will be heard here
Speaker 1: on Monday. You're filling in for Ross for inauguration Day,
Speaker 1: so you're going to kind of be with people as
Speaker 1: they do the oath and all that good stuff. So
Speaker 1: tune in on Monday to here, Jimmy and Jimmy, I'll
Speaker 1: talk to you again soon.
Speaker 2: It'll be great. Stay warm, have a great weekend.
Speaker 6: You too, my friend, you too. So this story CNN.
Speaker 1: I cannot tell you how much I love the fact
Speaker 1: that CNN lost this case.
Speaker 6: I just I cannot. I love it. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1: I heard Ross talking earlier about the fact that Rudy
Speaker 1: Giuliani has now settled with the women that he defamed
Speaker 1: and he's going to be give them some amount of money.
Speaker 1: But he could never pay the one hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: million dollar judgment. He just doesn't have the money. And
Speaker 1: he's like eighty years old, and he's ruined his legal career,
Speaker 1: so he's pretty much left with what he's got.
Speaker 6: But I guess they figured that out.
Speaker 1: And Ros said, I almost feel sorry for him.
Speaker 6: I do not. And here's why.
Speaker 1: When an attorney who knows the law better than your
Speaker 1: average bear does.
Speaker 6: Something so blatantly.
Speaker 1: Stupid as to disparage people without evidence in a public forum,
Speaker 1: he gets what he deserves.
Speaker 6: And he knew the law.
Speaker 1: You know, my dad always used to say, ignorance of
Speaker 1: the law has no.
Speaker 6: Excuse, and he's right.
Speaker 1: You can't say, oh, I didn't know that was against
Speaker 1: the law. If you break the law. You could just
Speaker 1: pretend I didn't know robbing a bank was against the law.
Speaker 6: I had no idea.
Speaker 1: And in this case, I feel no sympathy for Rudy
Speaker 1: Giuliani because he's a freaking attorney. If I, as a
Speaker 1: talk show host, know what defamation is, surely an attorney
Speaker 1: he knows what defamation is and he did it anyway.
Speaker 6: So yeah, sorry about your look.
Speaker 1: It's really sad to see how Rudy Juliana has fallen
Speaker 1: from his days, as you know, America's mayor in New
Speaker 1: York City, when he took a cesspool of New York
Speaker 1: City and turned it around in a way that was
Speaker 1: shocking at the time, and it still remains in great
Speaker 1: shape because of Rudy Giuliani. And now he's just absolutely
Speaker 1: destroyed his own legacy by becoming just a blatant sycophant
Speaker 1: for for Donald Trump. You know, I get loyalty, but
Speaker 1: but don't lie on behalf of someone else when you
Speaker 1: know better. So now he's having to pay the piper
Speaker 1: on that one. Ryan Edwards has joined us in the
Speaker 1: studio today.
Speaker 6: Hello. Ryan Edwards. Hello, it's good to see you.
