Speaker 1: Yet you need advice, so you don't have.
Speaker 2: Come running.
Speaker 3: Just as fast as we can, Shooter's gonna help come.
Speaker 4: Man, This is the Troubleshooter Show. Now Tom Martino, Hey,
Speaker 4: Tom Martino here, welcome to the show, and we are
Speaker 4: here to help you solve problems, answer questions, to take complaints,
Speaker 4: make your life a little easier. There's Marky Pooh at
Speaker 4: the bottom right of your screen if you're streaming us,
Speaker 4: is a fellow garbage. Hey, fellow garbage. Oh he starts
Speaker 4: right out. My god. Anyway, welcome fellow garbage and listen.
Speaker 4: Speaking of and by the way, there's a lot of
Speaker 4: election there's We're not when I talk elections and policies,
Speaker 4: I'm not talking about people here.
Speaker 5: Mark.
Speaker 4: I'll leave that to Mark. But the Supreme Court did
Speaker 4: do something that was courageous at the last minute. They
Speaker 4: cleared the way for Virginia to block those sixteen hundred
Speaker 4: non citizens from the voter rolls. These people were admittedly
Speaker 4: not citizens, they registered, the state took them off the
Speaker 4: voting roles. Democrats took the state to court, claiming that
Speaker 4: they should be able to vote. And you can't make
Speaker 4: this crap up. The federal government the federal judge said, yes,
Speaker 4: you must put them back on the voting roles, even
Speaker 4: though they are illegal. One of the things he cited
Speaker 4: was it's too soon to the election, it's within ninety
Speaker 4: days or whatever. I don't know, some rule he had
Speaker 4: in his brain. Then the governor took some emergency action.
Speaker 4: They took that. They took it to the Supreme Court,
Speaker 4: who reversed that decision. Now what they did say is
Speaker 4: they will be taken off the voter rolls and then
Speaker 4: the matter will be taken up after the election. So
Speaker 4: what I don't understand is, let's say the election came
Speaker 4: down to these votes, sixteen hundred votes, could you imagine,
Speaker 4: and then the Supreme Court has to decide after the
Speaker 4: election if they're going to count those votes. They did
Speaker 4: a movie one time. I don't know if you ever
Speaker 4: saw this where one guy was the deciding vote for
Speaker 4: some reason, it was it was a movie you look
Speaker 4: at up, Oh.
Speaker 5: I saw that.
Speaker 6: I think it was that dude in Canada. I forget
Speaker 6: the actors.
Speaker 4: I remember Kevin Costner one vote. I don't know how
Speaker 4: they wrote that scenario, but they did so. I do
Speaker 4: remember that. Hey, what did you think was it?
Speaker 6: Julia Roberts that came out in the commercial for Kala
Speaker 6: that says, if you're a woman, just vote for Harris
Speaker 6: and lie to your husband about it. It is the
Speaker 6: craziest commercial I have ever heard. I got to say this,
Speaker 6: if you've got to lie to your spouse about who
Speaker 6: you're voting for, I would say your marriage has much
Speaker 6: bigger problems than the voting itself.
Speaker 4: So that's a good point. The Supreme Court did, though,
Speaker 4: say you take them off the rolls. But around the
Speaker 4: country this is what I don't understand. And maybe a
Speaker 4: registered Democrat And by the way, if you call an
Speaker 4: all mute mark because he will, I want you to
Speaker 4: tell me why you believe the official it seems to
Speaker 4: be the official stance because around the country they're fighting
Speaker 4: to prevent identification at the polls and to allow non
Speaker 4: citizens to vote.
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean that's exactly why they open the border.
Speaker 6: I mean, everybody knows that time there's no this isn't someone.
Speaker 4: But I want to know why.
Speaker 5: I want.
Speaker 4: I want a Democrat to call, with all due respect
Speaker 4: I will give them, and I, honest to God, want
Speaker 4: them to tell me why they believe non citizens should vote.
Speaker 4: I really want them to tell me. Now, by the way,
Speaker 4: I have some.
Speaker 6: Other Democrats and Republicans, everybody included in the country. Eighty
Speaker 6: three percent believe you should be a citizen in.
Speaker 4: Order to vote and we should have strong But the
Speaker 4: ones fighting against it are exclusively the ones fighting for
Speaker 4: non citizens to vote are exclusively Democrats. Where there are
Speaker 4: the squad people, Man, it's the people. So it's you're saying,
Speaker 4: it's even a minority of the Demo.
Speaker 6: It's a very small minority of the Democrat Okay, good, it's.
Speaker 4: Not fair to them all. No, good, good, Okay, yes, Doc,
Speaker 4: And I want to go to the calls, Wilburt, Caitlin, Dan,
Speaker 4: go ahead.
Speaker 7: When we get a chance.
Speaker 8: You need to talk about the ballots and how difficult
Speaker 8: it is to understand the proposition.
Speaker 4: I want to go. I want to go through those
Speaker 4: amendments because and propositions, because those are the ones where
Speaker 4: you know, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you want
Speaker 4: what's best, you think. So we're going to go through that,
Speaker 4: and it's not personality based. Let's talk to you first
Speaker 4: about your power steering issue from yesterday, Wilbert, what's going on, sir, Hey,
Speaker 4: tom As. I remember Sheridan Auto Tech was going to
Speaker 4: take a look at it for you. You got a power
Speaker 4: steering went out in the twenty twelve Chevy Malibu. You
Speaker 4: took it to a shop. It's been there three weeks.
Speaker 4: They're claiming they have to reprogram this uh steering, the
Speaker 4: steering module they put in go ahead, okay.
Speaker 2: So so so I called them yesterday and I said,
Speaker 2: this is Wilburt with the Chevy mellible, what what is
Speaker 2: the situation with my car? And they said, well, we's
Speaker 2: the graviy. We were very sorry. We couldn't really repair
Speaker 2: your car and the parts that we put on there
Speaker 2: to fix it, it wasn't it wasn't registering right, or
Speaker 2: it wasn't it was.
Speaker 4: They're just what I think they're lying to you because
Speaker 4: they they they did a wall job on you. That's
Speaker 4: where they park it up against the wall, and they
Speaker 4: forgot about it. So are you gonna pick it up?
Speaker 2: Yeah? So so they told me, well you can pick
Speaker 2: it up today, And before I hung up, they told me,
Speaker 2: well just yesterday you can pick it up tomorrow. We'll
Speaker 2: put it back together and you can pick it up.
Speaker 2: So it's probably something you have to take to the
Speaker 2: to the dealer.
Speaker 4: You can take to Kevin Caulkin. Share it an auto tech? Really?
Speaker 4: Sare He came on and said, look Tom, this is routine.
Speaker 4: I know what it is. And he said, I'll even
Speaker 4: take a look at it free of charge. He's on
Speaker 4: Colfax West wads Worth three oh three four five five
Speaker 4: seventy forty two. So what about it?
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll take I'll take it there. And then then
Speaker 2: I said, then before I hung up, I said, you're
Speaker 2: not gonna charge me for this? W are you? And
Speaker 2: then the guy said, well, uh, we put a lot
Speaker 2: of work up to that car, sir, but you're gonna
Speaker 2: have to take that up with the owner.
Speaker 4: Oh come on, man, Oh are you kidding me? They
Speaker 4: didn't repair it, They put a lot of work into it,
Speaker 4: and they didn't do it right, and they want to
Speaker 4: charge you. I doubt that. What's the name of the shop.
Speaker 2: It's called Auto Tick.
Speaker 4: Auto Tech? And where is that is that on a
Speaker 4: rapp a ho?
Speaker 2: No, it's on it's on Uh, it's in Aurora.
Speaker 4: Do they spell that T E K? Do they spell
Speaker 4: that T E K?
Speaker 9: Uh?
Speaker 2: I think K yeah auto something like that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, T I think, I think, I know. Listen,
Speaker 4: you call us back please and let us know what's
Speaker 4: going on with that one three h three seven one
Speaker 4: three A two five five Caitlin, an issue with a
Speaker 4: car dealership? What's going on with you? Caitlin. Welcome to
Speaker 4: the show. Hi, what's going on? Yes, Caitlin, what's happening? Hi?
Speaker 10: So I I have a really bad situation with a
Speaker 10: car dealer.
Speaker 4: What happened? So?
Speaker 10: I actually I currently would in Montana. I'm from Colorado
Speaker 10: and I had a friend going down to Salt Lake City,
Speaker 10: and so I went down there to look at this
Speaker 10: one car I'd seen on Facebook Marketplace and I had
Speaker 10: even pulled them when I was there. You know, so
Speaker 10: my dad was killed in Afghanistan. It was back in
Speaker 10: twenty eleven. And I told them that, you know, I'm
Speaker 10: hoping just for transparency, you know, like on the vehicle,
Speaker 10: and they ended up I realized afterwards taking advantage of me.
Speaker 10: It was soon after I purchased the vile.
Speaker 4: What did you look at? What did you look at
Speaker 4: in Salt Lake City? What kind of car?
Speaker 10: It's a two thousand and eight Honda CRV one hundred
Speaker 10: and I had like around one hundred and thirty four
Speaker 10: thousand miles on it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's you're always going to have trouble. You're always
Speaker 4: going to have trouble. Over one hundred thousand, it's not
Speaker 4: if you will have trouble. It may not be serious,
Speaker 4: but you're going to have trouble. And over one fifty
Speaker 4: you're going to have serious problems. In over two hundred,
Speaker 4: the car's going to be trashed no matter what. I
Speaker 4: don't care where you buy it. One in a hundred, no,
Speaker 4: one in maybe a thousand might turn out not that way.
Speaker 4: So here's what I want to know.
Speaker 11: Did you have it.
Speaker 4: Checked out by a shop while you were there in
Speaker 4: Salt Lake City?
Speaker 10: They had told me that they had it checked out
Speaker 10: by a shop, and that they were telling me what
Speaker 10: the shop had said.
Speaker 4: Oh come on, so okay, tell me what happened. Did
Speaker 4: you buy it and take it home to Montana?
Speaker 12: I did?
Speaker 10: And so what I'm saying is, as I was driving
Speaker 10: it back to Montana, then I guess they must have
Speaker 10: cleared the dashlights. So these dash lights came on. I
Speaker 10: took it to a shop up here. They said the
Speaker 10: car is actually completely unsafe to drive. The air bag
Speaker 10: system needs replaced and the seat belt doesn't work, so
Speaker 10: they had previously deployed. I looked up car facts and everything,
Speaker 10: and I had actually asked them even in writing about
Speaker 10: if that was repaired, and they said it was. But
Speaker 10: it's over three thousand dollars to fix.
Speaker 4: What did you pay for the car?
Speaker 10: Seventy seventy five hundred plus a four ninety nine dealer fee.
Speaker 4: It was a dealer you went to. Yeah, you went
Speaker 4: to a dealer and okay, so and when you were
Speaker 4: driving home, which lights.
Speaker 10: Came on, the tire light and the airbag light?
Speaker 4: Okay?
Speaker 10: And I had something specifically about the airbag and he
Speaker 10: told me that the airback system was fine.
Speaker 4: I know, but okay, So here's what's going to happen,
Speaker 4: and you're going to see it on your contract. We're
Speaker 4: going to if we call the dealer for you and
Speaker 4: say why did you do this to Caitlin, you told
Speaker 4: her she specifically asked about the airbag light. She specifically
Speaker 4: asked about this, She specifically asked about that, And they're
Speaker 4: going to say, no, she didn't. That's either that's one
Speaker 4: or they're going to say, well, we thought it was okay,
Speaker 4: that would have been acceptable to either one of those,
Speaker 4: or they might say, have her look at the contract
Speaker 4: for the two words as is, did you see those
Speaker 4: words on your contract?
Speaker 13: I did.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: But the purpose of this call is not to make
Speaker 4: you feel bad, Caitlin. It's to let everyone know the
Speaker 4: common mistakes we hear every single day on buying a
Speaker 4: used car. Now, if it's going to cost three grand,
Speaker 4: are you sure you're not being taken advantage of Did
Speaker 4: you get someone to truly look at that car? And
Speaker 4: did you get a second opinion?
Speaker 10: I went to two different mechanics.
Speaker 4: So had you done that in Salt Lake, there's a
Speaker 4: good chance you would have found this out before you
Speaker 4: bought it.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 10: The issue was I was in a rush because my
Speaker 10: friends needed to leave out of Salt Lake pretty quickly,
Speaker 10: so she needed to know whether or not she could
Speaker 10: drop me off or not. So I had and I
Speaker 10: had a shorter time.
Speaker 4: To and you drove it home. How is it running
Speaker 4: right now?
Speaker 10: So I also need to get yeah, new tires on it?
Speaker 4: Which well tires then also.
Speaker 10: Like a stab, Yeah, a stabilizer I need to get
Speaker 10: fixed as well. And there were a couple of things
Speaker 10: I knew I was going to need to get fixed
Speaker 10: on it.
Speaker 4: You need. Here's what you need to do. At this point,
Speaker 4: you're not going to the name of the dealer down there.
Speaker 4: Who is it?
Speaker 10: It's right Auto Sales.

Speaker 4: It's a chart, and Mark walk us through it. Is
Speaker 4: Mark there, walk us through it. I don't hear him.
Speaker 4: Am I disconnected? Or what I think he might have? Okay,

Speaker 4: live on the air. I'm sorry about Dad. Listen small,
Speaker 4: but sorry about Dad.
Speaker 5: Listen.
Speaker 6: Go ahead, markin So basically, it's a chart from Real
Speaker 6: Clear Politics, and it goes over Arizona and the Vada, Wisconsin,
Speaker 6: all the swing states. Trump is way up in Georgia,
Speaker 6: up in Pennsylvania, up in North Carolina, up in Nevada,
Speaker 6: up in Arizona.
Speaker 4: The only thing where Harris is up.
Speaker 6: Is Michigan in Wisconsin, where she's only up.
Speaker 4: I like point two. It's pretty remarkable. It's pretty remark Okay,
Speaker 4: So Thomas let's go through when we have a chance
Speaker 4: some propositions as well. Put your camera back on. I
Speaker 4: want you to say hi to Brook Brooks here today
Speaker 4: red rocks, roof and solar. I want to ask real
Speaker 4: quick here Brook, is there any any danger of tax
Speaker 4: credits going away for solar systems? I don't think either
Speaker 4: party would ever do that. That's that's my opinion.
Speaker 14: Have you heard anything, No, Baby Bush is the one
Speaker 14: who started it in two thousand and seven, and then
Speaker 14: both parties have passed it on and Trump extended it
Speaker 14: from twenty six percent to thirty percent. So solar tax
Speaker 14: credits are pretty safe.
Speaker 4: Bet okay, cool? Do we have anything else that might
Speaker 4: be coming down the pike to make it? You said
Speaker 4: there in Denver they're actually requiring or is it Colorado
Speaker 4: for businesses to have systems new business.
Speaker 14: Yeah, Denver is requiring commercial projects, depending on the square
Speaker 14: footage size of the project, to have solar powering their business.
Speaker 14: So in twenty twenty six, twenty seven, and twenty eight,
Speaker 14: those requirements are going to be put in force. So
Speaker 14: if you don't have solar and you've got a commercial
Speaker 14: building in Denver.
Speaker 4: Even retroactively, or is that only new business any any building? Wow,
Speaker 4: crap mark, did you know that that's any building?
Speaker 14: I did Denver re energize.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, initiative. Let's go to the phones. Three
Speaker 4: oh three seven one three talk and So, Caitlin, you
Speaker 4: bought a car in Monte you live in Montana. You
Speaker 4: went to Salt Lake City, Facebook marketplace, right Auto Sales
Speaker 4: to look at a two thousand and eight Honda CRV
Speaker 4: one hundred and thirty four thousand miles seventy five hundred bucks.
Speaker 4: It's going to cost you now three grand or more
Speaker 4: to fix it. When she bought it, she was assured
Speaker 4: certain things. Of course, none of that matters. It's as Is, Caitlin. Wait,
Speaker 4: just for the hell of it, did you call the
Speaker 4: dealer back?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 10: I had spoken to him last week on the phone.
Speaker 10: This was when I got before.
Speaker 4: What did they say, Let's just let's just let's just
Speaker 4: talk about what they said? What what did they say?
Speaker 13: He was extreme?
Speaker 10: He was just terrible to deal with. He was really
Speaker 10: Bruis started yelling at me on the phone.
Speaker 4: And did he say, as is saying that he's.
Speaker 10: He's saying, I'm trying.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 10: He was like, you know, I'm trying to work with you.
Speaker 10: I'm trying to work with you.
Speaker 4: Oh what does that mean? Okay, so what does that mean?
Speaker 4: I'm trying to work with you exactly? Yeah, well what
Speaker 4: does it mean anything?
Speaker 14: He did?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: Listen, I want deputy. I want deputy Deputy Bows in
Speaker 4: the studio. Deputy Bow, you want to make a quick
Speaker 4: call the dealership.
Speaker 7: I have nothing.
Speaker 4: I don't know what. Okay, whoever you want, Caitlin, I
Speaker 4: don't know what we can do, but we can give
Speaker 4: him a call. Meanwhile, when you're in a situation like this,
Speaker 4: did you pay for this car in full?
Speaker 15: I did?
Speaker 4: I did? Okay. When you're in a situation like this,
Speaker 4: sometimes it's not ideal. But sometimes what you do is
Speaker 4: you go to a reputable dealer and you say, please
Speaker 4: go through this with a fine tooth comb and tell
Speaker 4: me what I need to do to make it safe
Speaker 4: and reliable, including fluids, belts, hoses and everything. Now, I
Speaker 4: know this sounds terrible, but let's say you come up
Speaker 4: with and we did the math once already with this
Speaker 4: when I had a car expert in and it's it's
Speaker 4: called taking the sting out of a mistake. So let's
Speaker 4: say that car. What year is it? Did you say
Speaker 4: it's a eight? So even though it's an O eight,
Speaker 4: if you and it's a Honda CRB. So let's say
Speaker 4: there's no major problems and you can fix that up
Speaker 4: for even four or five thousand. Now that's terrible, that's
Speaker 4: unheard of. But if you could get a loan and
Speaker 4: do it, or even do it over a three year period,
Speaker 4: you know, invest a little out of time as you
Speaker 4: have it, you may be better off than trying to
Speaker 4: get rid of it and losing money and then trying
Speaker 4: to get something else. What I mean is you could
Speaker 4: actually make it. Unless it is a major piece of crap,
Speaker 4: you can maybe salvage the deal, but you'll be in
Speaker 4: it for more money, but it'll be at least a
Speaker 4: car that you know is dependable because you did the work.
Speaker 4: So that is a glimmer of hope. Now, so my
Speaker 4: question is it a total piece of crap significantly tarnished?
Speaker 4: I don't think so.
Speaker 10: I mean, other things mechanically seem okay with it. It's
Speaker 10: just the airbags and the seat bell at this point,
Speaker 10: better than me.
Speaker 4: What's how's the body would be?
Speaker 10: It's it's fine, there's no rest you know, everything that
Speaker 10: I could check out myself seemed fine. The brakes are fine, okay,
Speaker 10: so everything.
Speaker 2: Else is fine.
Speaker 4: This is I'm going to have bow see if they
Speaker 4: would chip in anything at all or do anything for
Speaker 4: you at all, if they would rescind the deal. Fine.
Speaker 4: But but if you can make a car okay and
Speaker 4: it'll last you, it might be worth doing a credit
Speaker 4: card or do it you know now and then, Like
Speaker 4: I said, you don't have to do everything at once,
Speaker 4: but you do the most critical stuff and you finance
Speaker 4: it and just pay it off as soon as possible.
Speaker 4: And that's the best advice. But right now, bo, let's
Speaker 4: see what they say to you. Three oh three seven
Speaker 4: one three talk seven one three eight two five five Dad?
Speaker 4: What is your issue with Century Linked to what's going on?
Speaker 16: Yes, sir link, I'm moving.
Speaker 13: I told my house about a new house. They don't
Speaker 13: have comcasts. The only the only thing we could use
Speaker 13: for internet. There're a century Link.
Speaker 4: I love, I love Centry Link.
Speaker 13: Yeah, so I'm fine.
Speaker 14: So potentially they can sell my internet until January.
Speaker 4: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 13: And I uh, you have a five G Do you have.
Speaker 4: A five G phone?
Speaker 17: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You know you can take that five G phone with
Speaker 4: a hotspot and it's pretty damn good.
Speaker 13: Yeah. What about my television?
Speaker 4: You can actually run it? I've done it. I mean
Speaker 4: you actually can. You can? You can do a hotspot
Speaker 4: when run through a hotspot?
Speaker 11: So fast?
Speaker 13: Well we have.
Speaker 4: You have true? You have true five G? Right?
Speaker 16: I believe shell?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Do you do you have hot spot? Do you have
Speaker 4: a hot spot on it?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 11: What I use?
Speaker 4: This is a deputy D talking now, Deputy d Okay.
Speaker 18: So I have what Verizon's Home Internet five G service
Speaker 18: and it only costs me twenty five dollars a month
Speaker 18: because I sanged up for it. At the same time
Speaker 18: I got a new phone and there is no data
Speaker 18: limit and I can stream movies without any interruption or
Speaker 18: drop in quality.
Speaker 11: It's it's amazing.
Speaker 4: What do you have?
Speaker 11: It's called Verizon.
Speaker 18: It's called Verizons five G Home Internet service, and it's
Speaker 18: like a big square antenna that I put in my window.
Speaker 2: Full.
Speaker 11: Oh it's I've used.
Speaker 18: It for three years, cost twenty five dollars a month,
Speaker 18: unlimited data.

Speaker 18: solution for us at the station.
Speaker 4: Mark, dude, it's it's now.
Speaker 18: If you don't have Verizon cell phone service, it's much
Speaker 18: more expensive, but it's only like eighty or ninety dollars
Speaker 18: a month. But it's twenty five bucks for me. They
Speaker 18: haven't changed the price in I would say three years
Speaker 18: that I've been using it.
Speaker 4: No, fool, Oh, it's a miracle.
Speaker 6: Has his thirty five bucks or forty nine bucks a
Speaker 6: month and it apparently it works good. I tried it
Speaker 6: at our house, but it didn't work out here.
Speaker 4: No, Mark, Now I have I have Zon Oh maybe, well,
Speaker 4: why don't you look into it?
Speaker 19: Go to their store, go to their stat They don't

Speaker 17: Pardon?
Speaker 20: Oh?
Speaker 11: Yeah?
Speaker 18: Just go to the Verizon store, not the authorized dealer,
Speaker 18: but the actual Verizon company operated store and tell them
Speaker 18: you're looking for that home Internet service box.
Speaker 4: Yes, it's the official name again what's the official name.
Speaker 18: Well, my bill it appears as Verizon Home Internet Service.
Speaker 18: That's what they call it. Yeah, they just added it.
Speaker 18: So it's twenty five dollars plus all the junk taxes.
Speaker 18: But they never changed the price I expected. Like with Quest,
Speaker 18: they used to bring my price all the time, unlimited,
Speaker 18: unlimited data.

Speaker 4: oh three nine two zero sixteen twenty two. Hi, I'm
Speaker 4: Tom Martino three O three seven one three talks seven one, three, eight, two,
Speaker 4: five five. Brett has a comment on Caitlin. Caitlin bought
Speaker 4: a car in Salt Lake City. She lives in Montana.
Speaker 4: She drove well, she went all the way down there
Speaker 4: to get the car. Drove at home, lights came on.
Speaker 4: She's got about three to four grand worth of work
Speaker 4: she has to do. She bought it as is, even
Speaker 4: though she says in the world things words the infamous words,
Speaker 4: and I have to do a post on this. I
Speaker 4: made it clear, or I specified, or they said or
Speaker 4: they guaranteed, blah blah blah. Go ahead, Brett.
Speaker 21: The only thing I have is if I'm not mistaken,
Speaker 21: when you put an air bag and a seatbelt with
Speaker 21: regards to the sale of the car, that becomes a
Speaker 21: a safety issue that falls back onto the dealer providing
Speaker 21: an unsafe car to put back on the road, somewhat
Speaker 21: like a service engine lightning.
Speaker 4: Okay, get okay, there are Okay. We were told a
Speaker 4: million times by Norris when he had his SOS Right, Mark,
Speaker 4: he would say that legally, you can't sell a car
Speaker 4: that is unsafe for the road, right remember that, Mark, Well,
Speaker 4: that's true. Yet we could find not one person, not
Speaker 4: one in the state, not one anywhere that would enforce it.
Speaker 4: Nor have we ever seen that law enforced anywhere at
Speaker 4: any time. So if Utah, by the way, because that's
Speaker 4: where it was, If Utah has such a law, what
Speaker 4: she needs to do is go to the Utah Attorney
Speaker 4: General or to a district attorney or someone who's going
Speaker 4: to enforce that law. And I'm going to tell you
Speaker 4: right now, no one is going to enforce the law. Now,
Speaker 4: she can enforce the law by using it. It's called
Speaker 4: negligence per se, meaning you broke the law, so you're negligent.
Speaker 4: So I'm going to sue you and use the law
Speaker 4: as my evidence. That's right, okay, So Brett, we're right
Speaker 4: back to suing you. See what I'm saying. The law
Speaker 4: makes it a little easier technically, there could be a
Speaker 4: law that says that. There could be So it's a
Speaker 4: good comment, but still puts her in a bad position.
Speaker 4: In other words, I would contend it's easier for her
Speaker 4: to make the repairs than to go through that brain damage.
Speaker 4: Where we stand with that three zero three seven to
Speaker 4: one three talk seven one three eight two five five,
Speaker 4: all right, I'm getting a lot of a lot of
Speaker 4: texting here and guess who it's about. Oh, it's about Mark. Okay,
Speaker 4: I'm not going to read everyone, but I'm gonna say
Speaker 4: they're eight to two in favor of everything he's saying.
Speaker 4: We must have a very conservative audience here and then
Speaker 4: it says here the one guy said. The Virginia voting situation,
Speaker 4: the Democrats extreme extreme racism shines again, like when Biden said,
Speaker 4: if you don't vote for me, you're not black. By
Speaker 4: assuming illegal aliens will vote for them, that is in
Speaker 4: itself racist. God, I have said that forever.
Speaker 6: When he told black people that they're not black if
Speaker 6: they don't vote for him, I could not believe there
Speaker 6: wasn't more of an uproar.
Speaker 4: I mean, how I hear that. I want to add
Speaker 4: and I want to hear this. I want to hear
Speaker 4: this not from any white people. I want to hear
Speaker 4: this from blacks. I want to hear this from African Americans.
Speaker 4: I want to hear this from people directly. If you
Speaker 4: can call me, do you resent when Democrats use you
Speaker 4: like a pawn, assuming if you're black, you're a Democrat,
Speaker 4: that you don't look at the issues, that you don't
Speaker 4: care about the issues that they have you in the pocket.
Speaker 4: Do you find I would find that I would be
Speaker 4: resentful for it? I want to know, boy, you would
Speaker 4: sure think so. Now I'm listening to the podcast. This
Speaker 4: is one of our many, many thousands podcasts from If
Speaker 4: the Truth be Told, more popular than all of our
Speaker 4: already has put together. I cannot believe the lies Doc
Speaker 4: and Mark are spewing. The government didn't go after Trump,
Speaker 4: you jackasses. The States did because Trump did things wrong,
Speaker 4: whether you believe they were wrong or not. It wasn't
Speaker 4: weaponizing the Justice Department. Tell the the two morons. No,
Speaker 4: I'm not going to call morons. Those are that's a
Speaker 4: badge of honor for our YouTube people. But tell these
Speaker 4: two people to get their facts straight and not spew
Speaker 4: misinformation all over the place. What a jackass? Whoever? They go, Hey, hey, jackass.
Speaker 4: What I have learned is that most people in America
Speaker 4: are stupid. There you go, Okay, so that's hey, we're
Speaker 4: just garbage floating out. Well, I'm reading these things. Man,
Speaker 4: Let's say another one here and okay, after yes, them
Speaker 4: pretty much over it?
Speaker 6: They Oh, I remember during COVID we would get those
Speaker 6: every day.
Speaker 4: Hold on, I wish you the best in your journey
Speaker 4: if you decide to fall. Oh, never mind, hold on?
Speaker 4: Is this who I think it is? Hold on? You
Speaker 4: owe us six hundred and ninety do what what is
Speaker 4: this talking about? I have? Who is this person? I'm
Speaker 4: pretty much over it. They can move forward however they want.
Speaker 4: I paid for what I got. I may have gotten
Speaker 4: a next dose or two, but I'm not paying for it.
Speaker 4: I know what I got. I didn't steal any meds. Okay,
Speaker 4: So this guy, I guess was being charged for some
Speaker 4: extra meds that he said he never got. He's not
Speaker 4: paying for him anyway. Sorry about that this one, Tom,
Speaker 4: Please please stop letting Drew on the air. He's a
Speaker 4: waste of time and no longer entertaining on that. We
Speaker 4: did that yesterday, the guy from Jersey, He's permanently banned
Speaker 4: from the show from now on. And then I was
Speaker 4: sent a YouTube of that Trump is about him pulling
Speaker 4: up in that trench. That's exactly what we were just saying. God,
Speaker 4: was that good?
Speaker 6: And then can you believe that Harris calling all of us?
Speaker 6: And you know, I realized your boss said it, but
Speaker 6: she works for him and feels the same way. But
Speaker 6: calling over half the country garbage.
Speaker 4: It's nuts. And then then they try to walk it
Speaker 4: back like he.
Speaker 6: Didn't say it, Like we're so stupid, we can't actually
Speaker 6: watch a video and hear exactly what he.
Speaker 4: Said coming out of his own mouth. They're like, no,
Speaker 4: it wasn't me. Didn't see anything here real quick. Another text,
Speaker 4: a registered electrician noticed on YouTube that my light was
Speaker 4: going on and off and then it went out. And
Speaker 4: that was an LED that I only had for I
Speaker 4: mean hundreds of hours, not thousands. It was relatively new.
Speaker 4: And they said, he said, if you change an LED
Speaker 4: bulb with the power on, that'll ruin it. Somebody else says,
Speaker 4: if it's on a dimmer circuit and you dim, even
Speaker 4: if that bulb doesn't dim, you're killing it. So thank
Speaker 4: you for all your information. People were very concerned they
Speaker 4: couldn't see my pretty face when the lights went out.
Speaker 4: So right now I don't have a Halloween costume on,
Speaker 4: so thank you for the joke I hear every year.

Speaker 15: They wouldn't they wouldn't.
Speaker 7: Allow them to call.

Speaker 4: three talk three oh three seven one three eight two
Speaker 4: five five Welcome. I want to talk to uh Deputy
Speaker 4: Bow right now. I want to bring up something that
Speaker 4: happened on the show. Not long ago. A woman called
Speaker 4: and said, I'm a neighbor and I haven't seen my
Speaker 4: older neighbor in weeks. And then the daughter called and said, yeah,
Speaker 4: that's my mom. I haven't seen her, and some other
Speaker 4: people noticed they haven't seen her. They called the ror police,
Speaker 4: who went over there, but did not go through the door.
Speaker 4: They said they had no reason to, they couldn't hear anything,
Speaker 4: and so they left it. So another few days went by.
Speaker 4: They were very upset. So we had Deputy Bow, who, uh,
Speaker 4: did you call the police Bow again or did you just.
Speaker 11: Go over there?
Speaker 15: Diana called the show on September twenty third, as we
Speaker 15: got heard. Okay, so I went over there and the
Speaker 15: h away was there telling her not to get involved.
Speaker 4: I just they couldn't do.
Speaker 11: Anything to me.
Speaker 15: Did you call the police, No, I called the fire
Speaker 15: department because I'm on the show mentioned it that because
Speaker 15: I forget the fire department would be more responsive. So
Speaker 15: the person that called in gave us good advice. So
Speaker 15: they did come out, and then.
Speaker 7: They sent a rescue some a rescue.
Speaker 15: Team, and they waited around for twenty minutes, and we
Speaker 15: told him the situation, how she was making all of
Speaker 15: these calls, and then they did.
Speaker 11: They did force.
Speaker 15: Open the back door and a lady was kind of
Speaker 15: semi conscious. She was in bed with her arms folded,
Speaker 15: and then they asked us to kind of step away.
Speaker 15: They went in and they took her an ambulance to
Speaker 15: the hospital. So I called Diana the other day to
Speaker 15: follow up what happened.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So her name is Mary.
Speaker 15: She was in the hospital for a week and a half,
Speaker 15: extremely dehydrated. I don't know the other medical issues, and
Speaker 15: then they put her in a rehabilitation for three weeks
Speaker 15: and she just got back.
Speaker 11: I believe a couple of weeks ago, and.
Speaker 15: Aurora Social Services is coming in every day and checking
Speaker 15: on her. So I believe when Diana called the show
Speaker 15: got hold of us, she saved her life because no
Speaker 15: one was taking any action and trying to get this
Speaker 15: lady help.
Speaker 4: And thank you very much that you at least took
Speaker 4: the initiative to call the fire.
Speaker 18: I think Bo's being modest here because if it wasn't
Speaker 18: for him. I remember when he left the studio, he said,
Speaker 18: I'm going to break in and if I get arrested, So.
Speaker 4: Then he called the fire department and somebody did call it.
Speaker 4: One of the callers called in and said. One of
Speaker 4: the listeners said, you know, police may not break in,
Speaker 4: but I'll pitch you firefighters or emergency or rescue people would,
Speaker 4: and they sure as hell did well.
Speaker 15: The trouble there, The Troubleshooter Show is definitely instrumental in
Speaker 15: getting this gi.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like coordinating everything, taking the call, the listener calling in,
Speaker 4: recommending the fire department. Bo running over there. And so
Speaker 4: right now is she back at her apartment?
Speaker 15: She got back a couple of weeks ago, and social
Speaker 15: she's still I don't know her medical situation.
Speaker 7: But at least she's got help.
Speaker 15: From social services and they're going over there, I believe
Speaker 15: three times a week in checking on her.
Speaker 4: Thank you, BO appreciate that very much. Let's talk to
Speaker 4: Ronnie wants to talk about a furnace. Go ahead, Ronnie,
Speaker 4: what's happening?
Speaker 5: Hi, Tom?
Speaker 13: I have a furnace that quit working or I couldn't.
Speaker 5: Get it going.
Speaker 22: This year, I had home Smart come out because I
Speaker 22: overpaid them for years for furnace protection.
Speaker 4: Yeah, home Smart is home stupid. It should be called
Speaker 4: home stupid. Is that the Excel program? I guess.
Speaker 22: So anyways, the guy says, well, this type of furnace,
Speaker 22: it can't be repaired.
Speaker 5: It's too old.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: How old is it, by the way, how old is it?
Speaker 22: Somewhere around twenty years and it's in a cross space right.
Speaker 13: But well, if it's.
Speaker 4: Twenty years old, it may not be wise to repair.
Speaker 4: It's going to cost a lot. So what happened then?
Speaker 22: So so for the last twenty years, they've come out
Speaker 22: and serviced it every year, did a half job on that.
Speaker 22: But anyway, so the guy says that I.
Speaker 5: Can't fix it.
Speaker 22: I can't get to that thing, and I'm like, anything
Speaker 22: mechanical could be repaired to replace, right, but he says,
Speaker 22: I got to have the salesman and all he wanted
Speaker 22: to do was sell.
Speaker 13: Me a new furnace. Right, So then I.
Speaker 22: Got a second I had a second place come out
Speaker 22: and the guy said the same thing. We can't get
Speaker 22: to that the igniter. Somehow, they the way they built
Speaker 22: the furnace, that igniter is not serviceable.
Speaker 5: And then what needs a gas valve?
Speaker 4: Okay, that's not unusual for a twenty year old furnace.
Speaker 4: What happened then?
Speaker 22: So now now, so let me take a step back.
Speaker 22: The house is in probate, right, the judge gave some guy,
Speaker 22: you know, personal representatives over me, which I live in
Speaker 22: the house?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: Wait wait, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, Ronnie,
Speaker 4: wait a minute, man, now you're really throwing a brinkle
Speaker 4: into this. Let me get this sere. Yeah, why are
Speaker 4: you just wait a second, why are you living in
Speaker 4: the house.
Speaker 22: Because it was my mom and dad bought the house
Speaker 22: thirteen years ago. My mom died right well, when she died,
Speaker 22: there was ten of her grown children living in the house,
Speaker 22: you know that lived here because of mental illness, drugs,
Speaker 22: not drugs, alcohol or alcohol?
Speaker 4: And then what happened? Okay, so walk me through it.
Speaker 4: Then happen after?
Speaker 22: So now now since the last the last ten years,
Speaker 22: nine of them have died that lived in the house.
Speaker 13: I'm the last.
Speaker 5: One, okay.
Speaker 4: But the house was never transferred to any of the
Speaker 4: siblings or you.
Speaker 22: Right, Well, they said that it was transferred to my
Speaker 22: brother Jim. But Jim can never We used to ask
Speaker 22: Jim where's the paperwork? He can never come.
Speaker 13: Up with it.
Speaker 4: And then Jim did Jim die?
Speaker 22: Yeah, Jim died, and three weeks ago I came across
Speaker 22: the will and testament that says the house was his.
Speaker 4: Okay, So when he died, then what happened?
Speaker 22: I just continue to live he died.
Speaker 4: Three years ago, and you continued to live there. Then
Speaker 4: what happened?
Speaker 22: So then I have a sister who thought the house
Speaker 22: was in Jim's name. Once she got whipp of the
Speaker 22: house being not being in Jim's name.
Speaker 4: She said it was hold on, hold on, hold on,
Speaker 4: you can't keep going. You said it was in Jim's name.
Speaker 4: Now you're telling me the sister got with it was
Speaker 4: not in Jim's name.
Speaker 22: Well, all right, So Jim never put the house.
Speaker 13: He can never find in the paperwork to.
Speaker 5: Put it in his name.
Speaker 4: Okay, he was left the house, but he never transferred title.
Speaker 5: Yes, okay, so.
Speaker 4: Where do we stand. So then the sister found this out,
Speaker 4: Then what happened?
Speaker 22: So now she's then let me take another step back.
Speaker 22: I have a brother in Seattle who died last year. Also, right,
Speaker 22: my mom had fifteen children, j Ronnie, I don't need
Speaker 22: to know the whole story.
Speaker 4: Just keep going, man, just keep so what about what
Speaker 4: does this brother in Seattle have to do with Jim
Speaker 4: not having the house in his name?
Speaker 13: Now it doesn't.
Speaker 22: I just want to tell you the story. So the
Speaker 22: brother in Seattle didn't have a will. The state of
Speaker 22: Seattle hired a guy to take care of his estates.
Speaker 4: Right, that's called the public administrator. Is that what they're
Speaker 4: doing for you right now?
Speaker 22: Well, now, this public administrator says he can't close my
Speaker 22: brother's estate until he closes Rita's the state, which is
Speaker 22: my mom's name.
Speaker 4: So that's true. That's all true. Because Ronnie, the siblings
Speaker 4: and you guys were a bunch of idiots, okay, drug
Speaker 4: addicts and alcoholics, and they all died and none of
Speaker 4: them took care of business. So Ronnie, you don't own
Speaker 4: that house. In fact, Ronnie, you have no rights to
Speaker 4: that house until all of the estates are closed out,
Speaker 4: and it's likely when all of that is done, you're
Speaker 4: going to own it along with your sister.
Speaker 22: Well, my sister is in cohoots with the guy from Seattle.
Speaker 13: They're forcing me to sell the house.
Speaker 4: Well, first of all, the guy in Seattle, the guy
Speaker 4: in Seattle on your brother's estate has nothing to do
Speaker 4: with Colorado and your mom's estate.
Speaker 22: Yes, yes, because the judge appointed him personal representative here
Speaker 22: in Colorado.
Speaker 4: Hold on Seattle. Wait a minute, a Seattle judge appointed
Speaker 4: that person, or did a Colorado judge?
Speaker 13: A Colorado judge did.
Speaker 4: Okay, here's what the Colorado judge thought. He thought, you
Speaker 4: know what, since this guy is already familiar with the family,
Speaker 4: we're going to put this guy in charge of this estate. Here.
Speaker 4: Is that attorney licensed in Colorado?
Speaker 5: No, he's not.
Speaker 22: He has hired a lawyer here and allow for in Colorado.
Speaker 4: Now I know what's happening. Now, I know what's happening.
Speaker 4: But here's what's going to happen. Ronnie. Okay, the reason
Speaker 4: the public administrator. By the way, the furnace is the
Speaker 4: least of your problem. The reason that a public administrator
Speaker 4: is now ordering that your home be so, and the
Speaker 4: reason they hired a law firm here in Colorado. I
Speaker 4: want you to listen. How much is that house worth.
Speaker 22: It's a six somewhere around it's a six bedroom houses
Speaker 22: somewhere around four hundred thousand.
Speaker 13: Okay, it's in, it's in.
Speaker 5: It's in a depleted you.
Speaker 4: Know, it's yeah, it's in bad condition. Let's say, hold on,
Speaker 4: let's say it's worth five hundred thousand. Is that right?
Speaker 5: Yeah, let's okay, okay.
Speaker 4: If it's worth five hundred thousand dollars and it's paid off,
Speaker 4: this attorney or this public administrator in Seattle is seeing
Speaker 4: dollar signs. In fact, all public all public administrators, see
Speaker 4: dollar signs. There's nothing different about him than the one
Speaker 4: here that he hired. So those two attorneys got together
Speaker 4: on the phone and said, here's an opportunity for us
Speaker 4: to make about two hundred and fifty thousand dollars each.
Speaker 4: Since none of these kids know what the hell they're doing,
Speaker 4: and I'm representing a dead brother in Seattle and in Colorado,
Speaker 4: you have a numskull named Ronnie living there. He has
Speaker 4: no clue what's going on, and his sister is greedy.
Speaker 4: So here's what we're going to do. We're going to
Speaker 4: rape and pillage the estate. We're going to take every
Speaker 4: dime we can, and maybe when it's all said and
Speaker 4: done and we submit our bills to the courts, maybe
Speaker 4: Ronnie and his sister might get ten thousand dollars each. Now, Ronnie,
Speaker 4: I want you to write down the day. It's Halloween.
Speaker 4: And it sounds scary, but I want you to write
Speaker 4: it down Thursday, October thirty. First, it's eleven eighteen in
Speaker 4: the morning, and Tom Martino predicted what's going to happen.
Speaker 4: It will happen. They will rape and pillage the entire estate.
Speaker 4: They will order the house sold. You will be homeless.
Speaker 4: You and your sister will get a minority of the estate,
Speaker 4: and public trustees will split the majority. That's because the
Speaker 4: public administration system in the United States is corrupt, in moral,
Speaker 4: and disgusting. Okay, and in my opinion, in my opinion,
Speaker 4: did I make myself clear?
Speaker 22: Oh Tom, you know what, uh, everything you said I've
Speaker 22: already found out.
Speaker 2: But here's the issue.
Speaker 5: Here's my question to you.
Speaker 22: If I if I turned in Jim's my brother Jim,
Speaker 22: that the house is left to him, does that change anything?
Speaker 4: If you do what.
Speaker 2: I have?
Speaker 22: I have his will and testament here, It's never been
Speaker 22: turned into the courts.
Speaker 5: Like, what does his will?
Speaker 4: What does his will and testament say?
Speaker 13: He doesn't have one.
Speaker 22: This is just between my mom left the house to him.
Speaker 22: But the dummy can never find.
Speaker 5: In the paperwork.

Speaker 4: Mark back in and we have Redrocks, roof and Solar
Speaker 4: with us as well. I'm going to go to the phones,
Speaker 4: though I have a few questions here I want to
Speaker 4: get to and Mike has a comment on Mary and Bow.
Speaker 4: Mary the woman that was left to die. Basically no
Speaker 4: one attended to her and then finally the emergency services
Speaker 4: broke in. Go ahead, Mike, Hi.
Speaker 17: Tom, thanks for taking the call. I'm the retired firefighter
Speaker 17: that called the show.
Speaker 4: And yeah, you sound familiar. You called the show and said, hey,
Speaker 4: even though police aren't doing anything, you should call the
Speaker 4: fire department.
Speaker 17: Right because often the cops are so worried about probable
Speaker 17: cause and warrants and happen to write a report about
Speaker 17: doing damage. The fire department doesn't care. They're out to
Speaker 17: solve the problem. And that's exactly what they did. And
Speaker 17: I've got another tip for your listeners that's going to
Speaker 17: be a little controversial. Well, let me back up. First
Speaker 17: of all, I'm very, very faithful that she was alive
Speaker 17: and they were able to save her. Yes, I've been
Speaker 17: to dozens of these yeah, and a good portion of
Speaker 17: them do not turn out so well. Yeah, but they
Speaker 17: still need to be dealt with if they've passed. Okay,
Speaker 17: that's the important issue. So I'm thankful she's alive. The
Speaker 17: other tip I have for your listeners is this. Recently,
Speaker 17: I had a prowler around my house and it took
Speaker 17: dem Repd four hours to even think about responding to
Speaker 17: my house. So, if they are it's a listener sure
Speaker 17: that someone is trying to break into their house while
Speaker 17: they're inside, call the fire department and tell them that
Speaker 17: they smell smoke and that commotion will drive anyone away
Speaker 17: because they don't want the attention, and they'll be there
Speaker 17: usually within four minutes instead of four hours.
Speaker 5: Wow.
Speaker 17: And yes it's false reporting, but there isn't a firefighter
Speaker 17: in the world that's going to have them secuted.
Speaker 4: Well, you're right, it is controversy. Interesting. Yeah, why does
Speaker 4: it take.
Speaker 6: So long otherwise because Denver is a very liberal city.
Speaker 5: They funded the past.
Speaker 4: You know this.
Speaker 9: You know it's uh, we're talking not talking about police's
Speaker 9: talking about firefighters, and so cops don't want to work
Speaker 9: in Denver.
Speaker 17: And so oh okay, he is talking have problems stealing
Speaker 17: police cards.
Speaker 4: I see. Well, thank you for calling again, Mike, appreciate
Speaker 4: the information you give us. Now, Art and Nancy, sorry
Speaker 4: for the wait. What's going on?
Speaker 15: Hi?
Speaker 4: Tom, Hi Art? What's going on?
Speaker 13: Yeah, we're calling you back.
Speaker 23: We're the couple that had the problem with dental implants
Speaker 23: from a month.
Speaker 4: Oh wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute,
Speaker 4: wait a minute. Did I put both I'm wondering if
Speaker 4: I put both of your names down? Let me make
Speaker 4: were Nancy? Yeah, yeah, no, I get you.
Speaker 14: Man.
Speaker 4: And when did you call in? How long ago?
Speaker 23: Three weeks ago? And then the first time was about
Speaker 23: a month and a half.
Speaker 5: Ago.
Speaker 4: Okay, give us the rundown. What's going on now?
Speaker 23: And Nancy had dental implants that cost us forty five dollars.
Speaker 4: Yeah, ten implants, and it was from Dental Associates of
Speaker 4: Auror and after she had a six hundred dollars dental
Speaker 4: cleaning done, but they charged for dental insurance thirteen hundred
Speaker 4: you talked about after that. And then now Nancy's coverage
Speaker 4: allowance is seven hundred dollars short. Is that we got
Speaker 4: that back? Okay? Good? So now what's going on now?
Speaker 23: We tried to call Dental Associates of Aurora to see
Speaker 23: if they could correct the mistake they made.
Speaker 4: And which mistake are you talking about? Which mistake?
Speaker 23: The implants are all wrong?
Speaker 4: What do you mean? They're all on ten implants and
Speaker 4: they're all wrong.
Speaker 23: Yeah, they were. We had two other a dentist look
Speaker 23: at them and they said that they were implanted wrong.
Speaker 23: They're crooked and they're loose.
Speaker 4: The implants themselves or the restoration on top of the implant,
Speaker 4: the tooth.
Speaker 23: Well, the implants are touching the nerve and the other
Speaker 23: then the top implant is rocking every time she tries two.
Speaker 4: Okay, so the top the restoration or the tooth is
Speaker 4: on an implant, which is the anchor. It's not a
Speaker 4: top implant and a bottom implant. Okay, you're saying that
Speaker 4: her actual anchors, the implants are touching nerves.
Speaker 5: Correct?
Speaker 4: How many implants are touching nerves?
Speaker 23: The new dentists we went to said two or three
Speaker 23: are touching the nerve?
Speaker 4: And did he say they have to be removed?
Speaker 23: They're saying that if they explode down there, if they
Speaker 23: get too close, they can cause considerable pain and swelling.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so they need to be they need to be removed,
Speaker 4: and they need to fill that bottom area and then
Speaker 4: they need to read reinsert a shorter one. Is that
Speaker 4: what he's saying.
Speaker 23: Yeah, they're they're saying that. And they're also saying that
Speaker 23: the top right implant is too long because they took
Speaker 23: out a sixth implant and so it's really unstable and
Speaker 23: so now they want us to bring it in or
Speaker 23: go in there and have them cut the top implants
Speaker 23: make it fit.
Speaker 20: Right.
Speaker 4: This is what I don't Okay, what is too long?
Speaker 4: The tooth or the implant?
Speaker 5: Art?
Speaker 4: If you honest to god, I mean, I'm not trying
Speaker 4: to be an a hole here about what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: But if you go to a dentist or talk to them,
Speaker 4: the implant is only the steel part driven into the bone.
Speaker 4: Everything else on top of it is the tooth. So
Speaker 4: what's too long? The implant or the tooth?
Speaker 23: The tooth on top?
Speaker 4: Okay, now listen, it sounds to me, first and foremost
Speaker 4: ten implants sound impossible to me, and it almost sounds
Speaker 4: like malpractice. They would recommend it, and let me explain why. Normally,
Speaker 4: if someone needs that many implants, they recommend just doing
Speaker 4: anchor implants, four to six of them to hold complete dentures.
Speaker 4: You know, when you get into that many implants, did
Speaker 4: they ever recommend are all the implants on the top
Speaker 4: or bottom?
Speaker 23: Yes, there's one set on the bottom or one set on.
Speaker 4: Top, So there's five and five.
Speaker 23: Yeah, there's five on the bottom. I'm supposed to be
Speaker 23: six on top, but they had to take one out.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right? Why would you want to go back
Speaker 4: to such a shlock dentist to have it fixed? Why
Speaker 4: would you ever want to do that?
Speaker 23: Well to get I agree with you, But the only
Speaker 23: way we can get a fix is she can't afford
Speaker 23: to gony Welles anywhere else because they're going to want
Speaker 23: another twenty five thousand dollars to fix it.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you some bad news.
Speaker 7: Guy in the jet for a second job.
Speaker 4: You can in a minute, Okay, I'm going to give
Speaker 4: you some bad news. You're not going to get them
Speaker 4: to do this free, right, Okay unless you sue them,
Speaker 4: And suing them is going to cost more than fixing it.
Speaker 4: That's the bad news and the God's honest truth.
Speaker 3: What were you going to say, Doc, Well, I spoke
Speaker 3: to Art to follow up on this, and when I
Speaker 3: spoke to him, he said he was working with the
Speaker 3: Loventhal practice and that he would call me and let
Speaker 3: me know what they said.
Speaker 7: So I haven't heard from him.
Speaker 4: Practice.
Speaker 8: They are, they are the biggest malpractice attorneys in Colorado.
Speaker 4: Did you talk to a malpractice attorney?
Speaker 23: Yeah, we talked to uh Yeah. Then they sent us
Speaker 23: to Hillary Rank.
Speaker 4: Well, what did they say, Tom?
Speaker 23: They said that there's there's a case there, but it's
Speaker 23: too small for them to.
Speaker 4: That's right, that's right, right, that's right.
Speaker 23: So so what we called dental associates to see if
Speaker 23: they could at least maybe fix it, and then they
Speaker 23: said that that Nancy was dismissed from their office and
Speaker 23: that we were harassing them.
Speaker 7: Did you call the dental board.
Speaker 23: We're trying to get hold of dental board. It's a
Speaker 23: lot of uh, trying to get in out talk to
Speaker 23: the right person. But we're that's our next step.
Speaker 4: Well, you have to you have to file a complaint
Speaker 4: with the dental board. You really do, and and that
Speaker 4: can be done online. There's no did he get it out?
Speaker 7: Did you go to Dora dot or or or dot gov?
Speaker 23: I mean, yeah, we're in the process.
Speaker 4: Okay, Well that's what you need to do, because the
Speaker 4: bad news is Art and Nancy they're not going to
Speaker 4: take the no, no malpractice attorney is going to take this.
Speaker 4: And that's why I said, it's going to cost you
Speaker 4: more to fight it than to fix it. I'm not
Speaker 4: saying you don't go after them, but look at can
Speaker 4: we Did we ever have anyone called Dental Associates of Aurora?
Speaker 8: I was I always assigned the case. When I talked
Speaker 8: to Art, I offered to call them, and he.
Speaker 7: Said, let's wait, are you going to call him now?
Speaker 7: Well I will. I will talk to Art off the
Speaker 7: air and find out what's going on.
Speaker 4: Well, we just heard what's going on? Nothing? Did they
Speaker 4: told him he's harassing and they said they would do nothing.
Speaker 7: Did you have your medical records?
Speaker 5: Well, he must have records.
Speaker 4: Do you have them?
Speaker 5: Yes? We do?
Speaker 4: Okay, good, listen, we need to do something about this, Doc.
Speaker 4: If you don't feel comfortable, I'll give it to you.
Speaker 7: Tell me what I didn't. I didn't say you feel no, No.
Speaker 4: I just want to know because this is this is
Speaker 4: a serious thing I know. And who's the doctor out
Speaker 4: there at a Dental Associates of Aurora?
Speaker 17: Doctor Lee?
Speaker 5: Help?
Speaker 4: He did he? Is he the one? Is he still there?
Speaker 5: Still there?
Speaker 23: I think he's the owner.
Speaker 4: Well, let's at least get a Dora thing filled out
Speaker 4: so you can go talk to deputy doc and call him.
Speaker 1: This.
Speaker 4: This is ridiculous. If you have professionals say that they
Speaker 4: put in implants wrong and they won't correct it. What
Speaker 4: reason did they give you for turning down that down?
Speaker 4: When you ask them? What reason.
Speaker 23: Why they wouldn't work on it?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 23: Yeah, the new gunnis?
Speaker 4: What new dentist? What about the old dentist?
Speaker 23: Well we went and had two other dennis look at it,
Speaker 23: and they both and said, uh not good art.
Speaker 4: You're not answering my question. I'm only going to ask
Speaker 4: one more time. Why did the current people at Dental
Speaker 4: Associates of Aurora refuse to fix it?
Speaker 23: They said that Nancy is the smith because when we
Speaker 23: have that dispute with them over the insurance, they did
Speaker 23: not like that they overcharge insurance.
Speaker 4: All right, we got more coming up on the Troubleshooter Show.

Speaker 4: dot com to list your home with Remax Alliance three
Speaker 4: all three nine two zero sixteen twenty two. Really quick,
Speaker 4: I want to go to Dan McKenzie. Dan, this is
Speaker 4: such a complicated case. I'm gonna I'm just girlly gonna
Speaker 4: summarize it. I'm not gonna listen to Ronnie again, basically,
Speaker 4: and I might have numbers wrong a little here, but
Speaker 4: here's the basic story. His mom died okay nine, He
Speaker 4: and nine siblings lived in the house with her. She died,
Speaker 4: They stayed in the house, either drug addicts or alcoholics,
Speaker 4: and they all died thatpt for Ronnie. The house was
Speaker 4: never transferred to any of the siblings. Ever, it was
Speaker 4: nine years ago this happened, and the mom so when
Speaker 4: she died, the house remained in her name, and these
Speaker 4: kids all died off except for Ronnie. Now, there was
Speaker 4: a will that no one ever found that would have
Speaker 4: left the house to one of the siblings that died,
Speaker 4: and Ronnie has a copy of that will. Meanwhile, a
Speaker 4: sister who doesn't live in that house and is not deceased,
Speaker 4: she wants part of her She wants part of that house,
Speaker 4: and so she petitioned the courts, and the courts assigned
Speaker 4: a public trustee. To make matters worse, it was a
Speaker 4: public trustee out of state that was already working with
Speaker 4: another deceased brother in another state, and that public administrator
Speaker 4: hired an attorney here in Denver. Now, the public trustees
Speaker 4: want the house sold so Ronnie and his sister can
Speaker 4: settle their dispute. Unfortunately, I fear what I I've seen
Speaker 4: a million times, and that is a house worth about
Speaker 4: five hundred grand. By the time two public administrators are
Speaker 4: done with it, they're not going to have much money
Speaker 4: left over. What are your thoughts?
Speaker 24: Yeah, but what choice do they have?
Speaker 4: Okay, that's what I was going to ask you. Can
Speaker 4: they petition the courts if they can get along? Can
Speaker 4: they petition the courts to just take over the probate
Speaker 4: since it's their own mother?
Speaker 24: Yeah, that could happen. I think you can always ask
Speaker 24: a court to do anything, right, So sure, sure, Why.
Speaker 4: Would the court be in favor of a stranger as
Speaker 4: opposed to a member of the family.
Speaker 24: Just because you know, the members of the family are
Speaker 24: involved in both sides of the dispute and having them
Speaker 24: try and do that might not be real straightforward. Sometimes
Speaker 24: having an outsider who just has no emotional attachment to
Speaker 24: any of this it's more efficient.
Speaker 4: Frankly, Why don't the courts have better oversight on administrators public?
Speaker 5: I mean do that?
Speaker 13: You know they do?
Speaker 24: They tell you that they require the reporting and the
Speaker 24: accounting and everything else.
Speaker 4: So there is something Listen, if I was on a
Speaker 4: scavenger hunt and somebody asked me to find satan, I
Speaker 4: would go to a public administrator.
Speaker 24: Yeah, I mean, how far are they into this process?
Speaker 24: They don't want the household?
Speaker 14: Is that what we're well?
Speaker 4: No, well Ronnie would like to live there, but that's
Speaker 4: going to be tough because if his sister wants some
Speaker 4: of the proceeds, that's not going to happen. My concern,
Speaker 4: Dan is that by the time they sell the house
Speaker 4: and these two bloodsuckers get their fees, there's not going
Speaker 4: to be much left for Ronnie to get another place.
Speaker 24: I mean, that's a valid concern. And then probably I mean,
Speaker 24: I guess the best thing because you could do is
Speaker 24: maybe cooperate with them if that's not already happening, just
Speaker 24: make sure they have all the information.
Speaker 4: Now, they're still going to find a reason to suck
Speaker 4: it dry, you know they are. I know, you don't
Speaker 4: want to say it because it's not politically correct, but
Speaker 4: you know they're not going to come out with a
Speaker 4: lot of money, you know that.
Speaker 24: I mean, obviously they have less incentive to try and
Speaker 24: you know, preserve the estate and others. But you know
Speaker 24: they've got a produciary due they are supervised by the courts.
Speaker 24: You're right, I don't want to just I mean, I
Speaker 24: don't know anything about who they are.
Speaker 4: And anyway, Dan McKenzie, if you have trust me, go

Speaker 4: something higher. An attorney like McKenzie law and have them
Speaker 4: and have him take care of the problem or petition
Speaker 4: the courts to put it back in the family, and
Speaker 4: they would do that. If you can't do that, there's

Speaker 4: from Red Rocks, Roof and Solar, and calls have subsided
Speaker 4: a little bit slammed all day, So I do have
Speaker 4: a chance to get to some of these texts about solar.
Speaker 4: And somebody wants to know they heard that both bantered
Speaker 4: about a thirty percent tax credit and a forty percent
Speaker 4: Is there ever a forty percent tax credit available? Brook?
Speaker 14: Yeah, absolutely so there's called a domestic tax credit or
Speaker 14: the bi American Act Tax Credit, and that's ten percent.
Speaker 14: There's also a community tax credit that's a ten percent,
Speaker 14: or a low income that's another ten percent. So it
Speaker 14: just depends on the project.
Speaker 4: Wait wait, wait, wait that ten ten and ten just
Speaker 4: added to thirty on its own.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it just depends on the project specifics I've got.
Speaker 4: So some projects have thirty percent credit, some projects go
Speaker 4: up as high as sixty percent credit.
Speaker 14: Some projects can go up to eighty percent tax credit
Speaker 14: depending on it. But those are commercial or industrial. Mostly
Speaker 14: for residential, it's either going to be thirty or forty
Speaker 14: depending on the specifics.
Speaker 4: Of the person and what gets them that extra ten percent.
Speaker 4: In a residential system.
Speaker 14: It's the demographic information and where they're at. So if
Speaker 14: their veteran status, if they're disabled, if they're in a
Speaker 14: disadvantage community zone documented by the federal get an yep,
Speaker 14: it's all dependent on.
Speaker 4: The where they're at.
Speaker 14: And then they're still debating about that domestic tax credit
Speaker 14: going from just commercial to residential.
Speaker 4: Now now somebody said that they're solar. Person said they
Speaker 4: have to check to make sure their area is approved
Speaker 4: for solar. What the Heck does that mean does an
Speaker 4: area have to be approved for solar? I never heard that.
Speaker 14: This person was probably talking about the utility company and
Speaker 14: if the utility company could handle them adding solar.
Speaker 4: Okay, well what does I mean? Why wouldn't they be
Speaker 4: able to If solar takes off pressure from the grid, they.
Speaker 14: Still have to move the energy, so they still need
Speaker 14: to make sure that their wirelines and transformers can handle
Speaker 14: the influx of power.
Speaker 4: So even if you have domestic service with a power company,
Speaker 4: it could be so that you can get electrical service,
Speaker 4: but not necessarily net meter back to them. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 14: So in those cases, you'd have to do an off
Speaker 14: grade solar system.
Speaker 4: So there are places where they won't accept the electricity
Speaker 4: that you send. Yeah, but you can still do a
Speaker 4: solar system, you just won't get credit for that power. Yeah.
Speaker 14: What what happened is we install what's called a disconnect switch.
Speaker 14: It's a fire safety thing. You just would click that
Speaker 14: so your solar system power wouldn't go back up to
Speaker 14: the grid. It would just power your home.
Speaker 4: So you have to consciously do that every time you're
Speaker 4: using your solar system. Uh. Yeah, it's a pain in
Speaker 4: the butt then, Yeah, so if you're in an area,
Speaker 4: But why wouldn't the government force power companies to accept
Speaker 4: grid power from solar systems. If they're truly wanting to
Speaker 4: make solar ubiquitous around the country to lower our need
Speaker 4: for oil, why wouldn't they require that.
Speaker 14: So solar is very much state based. So in the
Speaker 14: state of Colorado, the utility companies have to have so
Speaker 14: much of their power coming from renewable sources and it
Speaker 14: needs to continue upticking until twenty forty. So in Colorado
Speaker 14: we do have those regulations and requirements, and the solar
Speaker 14: companies do have to give you full net metering one
Speaker 14: to one ratio retail value for the power you send them.
Speaker 14: So we're in a great state for solar. Take a
Speaker 14: state like Isla, which is where I'm from. The utility
Speaker 14: company can say we're really glad you build a solar system,
Speaker 14: thanks for the free power.
Speaker 4: We're not giving you a credit on your bill.
Speaker 14: So it depends on the state as to how the
Speaker 14: regulations are in that area, and it's also specific to
Speaker 14: the utility company.
Speaker 4: That you're working with. Wow. Three oh three seven one
Speaker 4: three talk seven one three eight two five five, Okay,
Speaker 4: So that is solar if you have any questions, you
Speaker 4: can always call them directly, and that's redrocksars dot com.
Speaker 4: By the way. Uh, they're great people to deal with.
Speaker 4: Three oh three seven zero four two four, four and nine.
Speaker 4: Now let's go back to news of the day, Mark,
Speaker 4: do you do anything special for Halloween?
Speaker 6: We're going to an actual uh Halloween party tonight, so
Speaker 6: we'll dress up and that's about it.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 4: Is it a private one or like at a place?
Speaker 20: No?
Speaker 4: No, no private party, friends of our Okay, now here.
Speaker 11: Is what I'm going at.
Speaker 4: Let's see Trump, you garbage with my trash vest and everything.
Speaker 4: Are you gonna really? Do you have the wig? No?
Speaker 4: I do not have the wig, but I'll wear a hat. So,
Speaker 4: oh the maga hat? And then well what else would
Speaker 4: distinguish you? Are you going to do an orange glow
Speaker 4: or some the trash vest? Okay? Now, the House concurrent
Speaker 4: Resolution twenty three, one thousand and two. Now, this is
Speaker 4: a property tax exemption for veterans with disabilities. I don't
Speaker 4: mind that at all. What it means is it requires
Speaker 4: a fifty five percent approval. It'll amend the Constitution of
Speaker 4: Colorado to expand the tax exemption for veterans with disabilities.
Speaker 4: It's going to help veterans who have non service connected
Speaker 4: disabilities rated at one hundred percent. That is twenty three,
Speaker 4: one thousand and two. Nothing wrong with that amendment, right, Mark,
Speaker 4: would you agree with?
Speaker 7: Why would anybody vote against that?
Speaker 4: Right now?
Speaker 11: I don't see an issue with it at all.
Speaker 4: Here's the next one, twenty three one thousand and one.
Speaker 4: Judical discipline procedures. Now this gets tricky. Listen to the
Speaker 4: Confidentiality shall be an Amendment of Colorado's Constitution concerning judicial
Speaker 4: discipline and connection therewith establishing this is the part that's tricky.
Speaker 4: Establishing an independent judicial discipline board, setting standards for review
Speaker 4: of a discipline case, and clarifying when discipline proceedings become public.
Speaker 4: What that is saying, vote against it. What that is
Speaker 4: saying is you're going to have a committee, and you
Speaker 4: know it's going to be totally political. It's a judicial
Speaker 4: judicial committee, and what they will do is decide on
Speaker 4: a case, on a case by case if it should
Speaker 4: be public or not. I'm sorry, no, why can't everything
Speaker 4: be public? That is an no. No, that's how concurrent
Speaker 4: it's amendment. H Let's just put it that way amendment. H. Now,
Speaker 4: so we did g which is the disability? That's okay? H,
Speaker 4: I say, is a no, no, I listen to this
Speaker 4: one a bill. It's an exemption for first degree murder
Speaker 4: a bail. So if it's an amendment concerning the creating
Speaker 4: of an exception to the right to bail for cases
Speaker 4: of murder in the first degree when proof is evident
Speaker 4: or presumption is great. I don't like that either, because
Speaker 4: if you're going to have, in my opinion, now you
Speaker 4: may want this mark a law and order guy, you
Speaker 4: may want Hey, no bail if it looks like you're guilty,
Speaker 4: that's what they're saying. If it looks like you're guilty
Speaker 4: of first agree murder, there's no bail. I say, you
Speaker 4: can set the bail high enough, but should you not
Speaker 4: have a right to bail? That's really that can go
Speaker 4: either way.
Speaker 8: One thing people need to think about is that they
Speaker 8: may be in favor of something that should be a
Speaker 8: statute that can be amended later on, as opposed to
Speaker 8: a constitutional amendment that's right extremely difficult to undo. Laws
Speaker 8: right always undo.
Speaker 4: There have been people who have made that argument that
Speaker 4: they say no to all amendments and say, if it
Speaker 4: means that much to you, make it a statute. What
Speaker 4: did you say, Mark?
Speaker 6: Well, right now, basically, a no vote on that would
Speaker 6: require judges to set bail for all persons charged with
Speaker 6: first degree murder.
Speaker 4: A yes vote, they could deny bail. That's a definite yes.
Speaker 4: Can't they deny bail anyway? No, they can't now.
Speaker 6: The only time they couldn't deny bail before is if
Speaker 6: it was a death penalty case. And of course we
Speaker 6: abolish the death penalty in Colorado now.
Speaker 7: But it should be a statute, not an amendment amendment?
Speaker 4: Jay, shall there be an amendment in the Colorado Constitution
Speaker 4: removing the ban on Say?
Speaker 6: Wait, wait, I know we just totally glossed over that doc.
Speaker 6: If you vote no on it, I don't care what
Speaker 6: it is. If you vote no on an amendment, I
Speaker 6: then judges have to set bail for people charged with
Speaker 6: first degree murder.
Speaker 4: That's crazy. There's cases. Are you sure that, Mark?
Speaker 8: Are positive of that? I still think it should be
Speaker 8: a statute.
Speaker 6: I don't give a crap what you think. That's not
Speaker 6: what's on the ballot.
Speaker 7: Well on it, that's all okay?
Speaker 4: Thanks? And and of course you have a right to
Speaker 4: do that. Now, here's what it says, repealing the definition
Speaker 4: of marriage in the Constitution. The constant repealing the constitutional
Speaker 4: definition of marriage. But see Amendment Jay's title. I'm all
Speaker 4: for repeal the definition of marriage. I'm all for it,
Speaker 4: but it's not what it says. Then it says it
Speaker 4: will be an ant to the Colorado Constitution removing the
Speaker 4: ban on same sex marriages. Here, first of all, I believe,
Speaker 4: you know, I have a radical belief here again, and
Speaker 4: I believe the government shouldn't be involved in marriage at all,
Speaker 4: period done it is none of their purview. The first time.
Speaker 4: First of all, this is what's ridiculous. The first time
Speaker 4: marriage was ever mentioned ever anywhere. And this is for
Speaker 4: people who want to see separation of church and state,
Speaker 4: then you should never have the state involved in marriage
Speaker 4: because marriage was only only look at every holy book
Speaker 4: in the world. It was only mentioned in the Bible
Speaker 4: period marriage. That's the only time marriage. Now there were
Speaker 4: people together, there were stories of people together, but the
Speaker 4: actual marriage, ceremony and marriage and dissolution of marriage is
Speaker 4: only mentioned in the Bible, and the government has nothing
Speaker 4: to do with it. And people shouldn't have to be
Speaker 4: tied to any definition of marriage. It's not the state's
Speaker 4: job to tell people they can get married or not.
Speaker 8: But I agree with you in principle, But what happens. See,
Speaker 8: I think if two people get married civilly, they the
Speaker 8: church can decide or not to accept that as a marriage.
Speaker 4: But exactly wait, but when.
Speaker 8: It comes to children and assets and division of property,
Speaker 8: the state has to step in and have rules about how.
Speaker 7: It should be administered.
Speaker 4: Okay, First of all, I don't agree with you whatsoever.
Speaker 4: If there are people all day long making stupid partnerships
Speaker 4: on all kinds of things in life, all kinds of
Speaker 4: things that affect all kinds of people, and the government
Speaker 4: doesn't pre determine how the contract is done. Okay, they
Speaker 4: don't predetermine. They determine after it in the laws of
Speaker 4: the civil courts. Now, if you want a set of
Speaker 4: rules for domestic partnerships that's a whole different story than
Speaker 4: a marriage. Then you don't get into who should be
Speaker 4: married and who shouldn't be married, and you just have laws.
Speaker 4: For example, Ill, if your partnership in Colorado, if or
Speaker 4: in most states, if your partnership in a business, if
Speaker 4: your agreement was deficient in one or two areas, or
Speaker 4: unconscionable in one or two areas. The state's partnership laws
Speaker 4: would fill in the blanks. That's what it is. It's
Speaker 4: the partnership laws. Now, Now, why in marriage should people
Speaker 4: tell I mean, it's ridiculous, and upon a dissolution of marriage,
Speaker 4: it's a damn contract because most of them nowadays aren't
Speaker 4: for life anyway, and they're all ridiculous. If you want
Speaker 4: to get married in the church, that's up to you.
Speaker 4: You can do that all you want all day long.
Speaker 4: And God love you. Though you're bringing a kid into it,
Speaker 4: what do you do about the kid might have not
Speaker 4: been there when everything was put together? Let me ask
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this doc, what happens in a
Speaker 4: civil contract for any kind of care or service or
Speaker 4: keeping that you're bringing people into it?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 4: What?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 4: There are laws? There are laws that talk about contracts
Speaker 4: and and equality and laws of equity and the court
Speaker 4: of equity. You don't have to predetermine anything. You know,
Speaker 4: it's ridiculous that a court would tell. First of all,
Speaker 4: what right does a court have to tell you who
Speaker 4: should be a parent?
Speaker 8: How else you adjudicated? What if one parent says, I
Speaker 8: want full custody. The other parent says, I want full custody.
Speaker 8: How how do you adjudicate that that argument?
Speaker 4: Well, how do they do it now? Doc? How do
Speaker 4: they do it now?
Speaker 7: They go before a judge?
Speaker 4: But who says hold on? Who says they can't go
Speaker 4: before a judge? Why does there have to be a
Speaker 4: definition and a control of the marriage contract for that
Speaker 4: to happen? Why does there have to be an institution
Speaker 4: of marriage by the government for that to happen? If
Speaker 4: you get if you live together and have kids and
Speaker 4: you want to and you want full custody, you end
Speaker 4: up in court anyway.
Speaker 7: Tell me why I'm agreeing with you.
Speaker 5: I know you're not.
Speaker 4: You're you're telling me there's got to be a marriage.
Speaker 4: No I'm not.
Speaker 8: I'm just saying that when that the courts are there
Speaker 8: to resolve issues.
Speaker 7: I've been you.
Speaker 4: Never loved on DOC, Unless I'm crazy. I never said
Speaker 4: do away with courts to resolve issues. In fact, I
Speaker 4: said the very opposite. I said, the courts are there
Speaker 4: to resolve issues, and you don't need an institution of
Speaker 4: marriage to do it. I agree with you.
Speaker 7: I agree with you.
Speaker 4: I mean the institution of marriage is taking something biblical
Speaker 4: and religious and saying, Okay, the state's now going to
Speaker 4: give you a damn license for it. Do they give
Speaker 4: you a license to be baptized? Of course they don't. Tom.
Speaker 4: I'm on all the tax ramifications. The taxes are not
Speaker 4: gonna be affected, but you should be able to have
Speaker 4: the same tax benefits if you have a domestic partnership
Speaker 4: with with a donkey. For God's sakes, I don't care.
Speaker 4: I mean, what I'm saying is the state has no
Speaker 4: place in our lives when it comes to that. We
Speaker 4: have more coming right up, Go with a sure thing

Speaker 4: back to this problem because we have we have Deputy
Speaker 4: d who worked on this and Iron Mountain Collision. There
Speaker 4: was Sewn the original caller on it. No, who was
Speaker 4: the original.
Speaker 18: Caller on it, Sage. We got a call from a
Speaker 18: lady named Sage up in Loveland, Okay.
Speaker 4: Sage said that she had an Alfa Romeo A taken
Speaker 4: to Iron Mountain Collision in August of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 4: It disappeared off her lot. They're lot in June of
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four and their stonewallinger she can't find it.
Speaker 4: And so what did you find out about first? At
Speaker 4: your comment? Caller, Sean, go ahead.
Speaker 20: Yes, I was just want letting you know that she
Speaker 20: was on Loveland Facebook yesterday reaching out for help, and
Speaker 20: I kind of looked up Iron Mountain their record on
Speaker 20: Better Business Speer and there's some.
Speaker 13: Bad guys, man.
Speaker 20: I mean, it's dirty how they.
Speaker 11: Did and oh no, no, no, there goes way beyond.
Speaker 4: They're way dirty, way dirty.
Speaker 11: It goes way beyond.
Speaker 20: So well, listen to this, Tom Well. Anyway, during the
Speaker 20: Facebook page, their employees were getting on there, and someone
Speaker 20: was saying, hey, you need to call Tom Martino back,
Speaker 20: and one of their employees got on there. Oh that's
Speaker 20: the same Tom Martino that filed bankruptcy in twenty eleven
Speaker 20: and all this stuff, and.
Speaker 4: They were going on it was twenty ten, and it
Speaker 4: was a real estate. It wasn't personal yet it was
Speaker 4: real est I know, I know.
Speaker 20: I'm a painful listener. I know what happened.
Speaker 18: So it was at the extent of their defense of
Speaker 18: their dirty practices that I'm a bad People always say,
Speaker 18: you know that, that's that's old hat attacking me.
Speaker 4: What here's the deal man, Okay. And by the way,
Speaker 4: in the Great Recession, having property that went down in value,
Speaker 4: you had no control over, zero control. But I don't
Speaker 4: want to get into it. I didn't have one, not one,
Speaker 4: not one personal debt that went unpaid. Not one. So
Speaker 4: now let's talk about let's talk about Iron Mountain.
Speaker 5: Go ahead.
Speaker 18: Well, you know, one of the most shocking things about
Speaker 18: Sage's allegations was that Iron Mountain, having done no work
Speaker 18: on her vehicle, charged her tens of thousands of dollars
Speaker 18: for storage of the vehicle. And I started doing some
Speaker 18: research on Iron Mountain Collision, and I found that it's
Speaker 18: owned by a guy by the name of Kevin Rowley,
Speaker 18: who apparently, from what I've found, at least at least
Speaker 18: two body repair shops that he owns up in the
Speaker 18: Fort Collins Loveland area. And in just a very brief
Speaker 18: period of time, I've uncovered three active civil cases in
Speaker 18: the Larrama County District Court. I read those complaints and
Speaker 18: they all seem to be carbon copies.
Speaker 4: Of each other hundreds of thousands.
Speaker 18: There are some that there's one pickup truck that was
Speaker 18: in and no repairs were done, and they charged that
Speaker 18: customer approximately fifty thousand dollars for storage on that truck,
Speaker 18: and the customer's insurance company took them to district court.
Speaker 18: But I have you know, I've written down at least
Speaker 18: three cases. But it gets darker than that. It turns
Speaker 18: out if this is the same Kevin Rowley, there was
Speaker 18: another Kevin Rowley up in Loveland who got busted for
Speaker 18: He got busted with about twelve hundred pounds of marijuana
Speaker 18: in a couple of warehouses over there. And this was
Speaker 18: a case from nineteen ecume from twenty nineteen or twenty
Speaker 18: twenty yea. And I looked up the details on that.
Speaker 18: The birth date on that Kevin Rowley kind of matches
Speaker 18: what I would expect to.
Speaker 4: See on this Kevin marijuana. I mean, I know it's
Speaker 4: a crime, but he's still in probation, Okay, And so
Speaker 4: I reached out to the it doesn't I'm more concerned
Speaker 4: about how he screwed people.
Speaker 18: Oh well, it appears to be a pattern, right, So
Speaker 18: these are these complaints all look like carbon copies of
Speaker 18: each other too.
Speaker 4: Okay. Where he takes a car, doesn't do anything in
Speaker 4: charge of storage.
Speaker 11: ONRNS A thousand, that's the car.
Speaker 18: Then he keeps the car. Yeah, that's what he did. Allegedly,
Speaker 18: that's what he did with Sage's car. So she doesn't
Speaker 18: know where the car is. They won't return it to her,
Speaker 18: and that's what precipitated her call. But this seems to
Speaker 18: be a pattern of behavior.
Speaker 4: Doesn't that sound like forty mark? Doesn't that sound almost
Speaker 4: identical to forty fourth auto?
Speaker 6: I don't take it, store it, don't do any work,
Speaker 6: take some money up front, never give it back.
Speaker 4: It's it's them. O is your camera offers is still on? No?
Speaker 4: I killed it? Okay, all right? So here's the deal.
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a problem that we had with
Speaker 4: forty fourth Auto and whatever that guy's name was. It's
Speaker 4: like a bad dream and this is the new player,
Speaker 4: and he's basically delaying repairs. When people get frustrated and
Speaker 4: want their car back, he invokes thousands and thousands of
Speaker 4: dollars in storage, which makes them and then he takes
Speaker 4: the car.
Speaker 18: That's yeah, based on what I've read on the court
Speaker 18: filing so far, that's what's been going on. And so
Speaker 18: you know, we were able to find several law firms
Speaker 18: that have very recent experience suing Kevin Rowley's.
Speaker 4: Are there any judgments against them?
Speaker 18: You know, I haven't gotten that far. I haven't been
Speaker 18: able to how these cases were resolved. They're very recent.
Speaker 18: So two of them were filed in the spring.
Speaker 4: Is it Kevin Rowley?
Speaker 11: Kevin Rowley R O W.
Speaker 9: L E. Y.
Speaker 11: That's correct.
Speaker 18: And so I did reach out to the district attorney
Speaker 18: to get a copy of the terms and conditions of
Speaker 18: his probation to see if this might be a violation
Speaker 18: of the of his probation.
Speaker 4: And uh, perhaps have they commented to us, No, not yet.
Speaker 18: It was only yesterday that I reached out to the DA.
Speaker 18: I also reached out to the police department to get
Speaker 18: his get a copy of his booking photo just so
Speaker 18: that I can compare his videos.
Speaker 11: But yeah, he runs very.
Speaker 18: Successful TikTok channel with several hundred thousand followers.
Speaker 4: Is it the same guy?
Speaker 18: Yeah, he talks about how to beat up how he
Speaker 18: beats up the insurance companies for UH to pay to
Speaker 18: pay for damaged cars that are turned into his country.
Speaker 4: Like, does he mean beats them up for the consumer,
Speaker 4: Like he's a good guy.
Speaker 18: Well, it sounds like he beats them up for himself.
Speaker 18: I mean he in these court followings, I've read that
Speaker 18: he's collected well fifty thousand dollars in insurance payments from
Speaker 18: one of them.
Speaker 4: He literally is on TikTok.
Speaker 15: Pay.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let me get rid of that sound. I'm looking.
Speaker 4: I was on TikTok that's what you heard. So what
Speaker 4: is he under? Kevin rally On?
Speaker 11: I don't know.
Speaker 18: It was Saged who uncovered his So, Sage, if she's listening,
Speaker 18: it would be great if you can send Tom and
Speaker 18: me a link to his TikTok channel.
Speaker 4: And rally here.
Speaker 11: So it is a sordid affair.
Speaker 4: And the more I rally. This one has nine followers.
Speaker 18: This, yeah, the one we're talking about has a couple
Speaker 18: hundred thousand followers. Okay, so I did submit. I sent
Speaker 18: in four requests for common There.
Speaker 4: Is Iron Mountain. Let's see what he's got there. So
Speaker 4: it's Kevin Rally, Iron Iron Mountain and uh.
Speaker 11: Fair Mountain collision.
Speaker 4: And he gets on one view he had three hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty thousand, and another he has fifty nine thousand.
Speaker 4: On one he had one million. So this is Kevin Rally.
Speaker 4: Let's give a listen to this. This is Kevin Rally.
Speaker 11: Hold on aared Iron Mountain.
Speaker 25: We have the Chevy Z seventy one. It came in
Speaker 25: it was hit by a plowd truck. Well guess what
Speaker 25: they were set to the preferred shop. And I know
Speaker 25: this is gonna be a real shocker, but they wrote
Speaker 25: an est one up for this customer for thirty three
Speaker 25: hundred bucks.
Speaker 11: You can't fix the bed for that.
Speaker 4: Not only that, there's nothing wrong with what he's saying.
Speaker 11: I mean, I have a broken back.
Speaker 4: I mean so these posts.
Speaker 25: Seconds to look over and see this cab corner, he's
Speaker 25: got a whole punched in it.
Speaker 4: So he's talking about the ridiculous of assurance companies and
Speaker 4: I'm gonna like that one. But I don't know. I
Speaker 4: don't think. But if you would, I don't think he talks.
Speaker 4: Let me let me just see what he uh okay, keep.
Speaker 18: Yeah, if he would, all, there's nothing wrong with that,
Speaker 18: with what he says in those particular videos. That's the
Speaker 18: follow up that's missing. This is how he trolls for
Speaker 18: potential customers. And then there's this pattern of activity that
Speaker 18: I've been able to find where he allegedly does not
Speaker 18: do the repairs, charges many tens of thousands of dollars
Speaker 18: in so called storage fees, and then the customers are
Speaker 18: left without their car repaired or not. I mean one
Speaker 18: in one of these cases I saw they also had
Speaker 18: to file for replevent action.
Speaker 11: Just to get their wrecked car back from him.
Speaker 4: Okay, So in any case, we're going to keep looking
Speaker 4: into this. People three oh three seven one three talks
Speaker 4: seven one three eight two five five go with a
Speaker 4: sure thing Denver's Best Roofer excel roofing dot com. You
Speaker 4: don't pay a cent until you're content, wait time for

Speaker 4: two zero sixteen twenty two. Hi, Tom Martino, your troubleshooter
Speaker 4: three O three seven one three talks seven one three
Speaker 4: h five five Troy as a comment on Amendment one seven.
Speaker 4: Now I'm not sure what he's talking about one twenty
Speaker 4: seven looking it up. Go ahead, Troy, Yeah, go ahead, sir, yes,
Speaker 4: sir yeah.
Speaker 16: So one twenty seven Colorado Proposition one twenty seven is
Speaker 16: the proposition to prohibit the hunting of mountain lions, bobcats.
Speaker 2: And a link.
Speaker 11: I got it.
Speaker 4: Prohibit trophy hunting is how they title it, which sounds
Speaker 4: oh yeah right, that's good. Right.
Speaker 16: So in the state of Colorado, so I'm a hundred
Speaker 16: d instructor in the state of Colorado, uh, it is
Speaker 16: already prohibited to hunt any wildlife as for trophy hunting.
Speaker 16: So when you hunt wildlife in the state of Colorado,
Speaker 16: you're required to consume the meat. So the biggest problem
Speaker 16: with one twenty seven is how they have you know,
Speaker 16: skewed the ballot and the reason.
Speaker 4: Well, basically it basically says, it basically says it prohibits
Speaker 4: the intentional killing, wounding, pursuing, and trapping or discharging a weapon,
Speaker 4: a blah blah blah on a lion linkspotcat creating eight
Speaker 4: exceptions protection of life, human, life, property, and livestock. What's
Speaker 4: wrong with that?
Speaker 16: Well, so that's already allowed. So the difference is that
Speaker 16: the way that is the difference. Yeah, this was a
Speaker 16: ballid initials that was written by the state. And what
Speaker 16: they're throwing out there is they're saying we're going to
Speaker 16: stop all hunting of the mountain lion. Uh because you
Speaker 16: know they're saying that it's trophy.
Speaker 4: I listen, I don't trust the government. I don't trust
Speaker 4: anybody like that when it comes to initiatives. What I
Speaker 4: need to know is this, what why did they even
Speaker 4: need it? If you're saying and why are you upset
Speaker 4: with it? Because if if it's already prohibited the trophy
Speaker 4: hunting already and it's already allowed for protection of life,
Speaker 4: property and livestock, Then why do they need this additional one.
Speaker 16: Yeah, So what they're trying to do is they're trying
Speaker 16: to so currently the management of wildlife is managed by
Speaker 16: the Colorado.
Speaker 13: Parks and Wildlife.
Speaker 16: This would put a total prohibition on any kind of hunting.
Speaker 16: So the Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
Speaker 4: Doesn't doesn't say that, well it doesn't, let me finish. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: let me finish.
Speaker 16: The way that Colorado Parks and Wildlife manage wildlife is
Speaker 16: a inventory the number of wildlife that are in the area,
Speaker 16: and you know what the habitat can support. So they say, okay, well,
Speaker 16: there's say, you know, twenty mountain lions in this area.
Speaker 16: The habitat can only support fifteen. We're going to issue
Speaker 16: a license to hunt five of those mountain lions that
Speaker 16: the habitat cannot support. So this initiative would bar the
Speaker 16: Colorado Parks and Wildlife from issuing those licenses to manage
Speaker 16: the wildlife. So then the only way that you would
Speaker 16: be able to shoot a mountain lion is if it
Speaker 16: was destroying your live.
Speaker 13: Sock or if it was.
Speaker 4: Okay, I get what you're saying, so, but okay, what
Speaker 4: is I got to take this break Hold on a second,

Speaker 4: two zero sixteen twenty two. I want to go back
Speaker 4: to Troy. I'm Tom Martino.
Speaker 9: Man.
Speaker 4: In that short amount of time that you talked about this, Troy,
Speaker 4: I've gotten at least nine texts, and about five of
Speaker 4: them say vote it down, and four of them say
Speaker 4: it's good for the environment to you know. But the
Speaker 4: ones that say voted down say it is a sneaky
Speaker 4: way to try to get a ban on cat hunting.
Speaker 4: Is that it?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 16: So, mountain lions consume approximately one deer per per week
Speaker 16: per adult lion, and there are approximately four thousand mountain
Speaker 16: lions in the state. So right now, the Colorado Parks
Speaker 16: and Wildlife try to manage that number, to say it
Speaker 16: about four thousand by issuinghunting licenses for the Mountain lions.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 16: So if this passes, then Colorado Parks and Wildlife will
Speaker 16: not be able to issue those hunting licenses.
Speaker 4: Okay. So you're saying they will no longer be able
Speaker 4: to call the herd because of I don't know if
Speaker 4: you call it a herd, call the population because of
Speaker 4: management reasons. It will only be to protect livestock in life.
Speaker 4: Correct And do you think so you're saying it's basically
Speaker 4: a sneaky ban on all hunting of cats no matter what.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 4: But here's what I want to know. The people behind
Speaker 4: the initiative, don't they know what you're saying, if what
Speaker 4: you're saying is true, Don't they know that you have
Speaker 4: to regulate the population of cats or you're going to
Speaker 4: have too much in the elk population.
Speaker 16: What they're what they're trying to do is they're trying
Speaker 16: to do what they did in California. So you know,
Speaker 16: it's called the California Cation of Colorado. So anything that
Speaker 16: California does.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but what why you said that they that the lions,
Speaker 4: the cats help control the population of deer and elk, right.
Speaker 16: Well, they do so the and that's the way it's
Speaker 16: been for years. But Colorado Parks and Wildlife manages the
Speaker 16: control of the lions because the lions are the apex predator.
Speaker 2: So I get that.
Speaker 4: So my question, sir, I have a very simple question,
Speaker 4: and that is, if you if you don't let people
Speaker 4: hunt them anymore, won't that, by natural logic, increase the
Speaker 4: elk population? No, I mean decreasing. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: I'm sorry. I'm confused. Do away, That's what I meant.
Speaker 4: Do away practical with the won't won't it hurt the
Speaker 4: state even more?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 16: Yeah, because uh Colorado. Yeah, we've got you know, guys
Speaker 16: that are coming from Texas all over the know if.
Speaker 5: You that's right.
Speaker 4: They want to keep the population balanced with the elk
Speaker 4: and deer and and I think that what you're saying
Speaker 4: is true, and it would wreak havoc on the population.
Speaker 4: It would it would take.
Speaker 16: Away the other sports.
Speaker 5: In other words, it.
Speaker 4: Would also it would also decrease the hunting of deer
Speaker 4: and elk because they would be eaten by the lions.
Speaker 4: I mean they're trying to they're trying to control. Go

Speaker 4: you solve problems, answer questions, take complaints, make your life
Speaker 4: a little easier. I'm gonna go to the phones. We
Speaker 4: have also with us, we have Brook with us. Brooke
Speaker 4: White from Redbrosars dot com. I got a couple of
Speaker 4: texts there. Steve wants a comment. So many people are
Speaker 4: commenting on one twenty seven. Now it's proposition one twenty seven.
Speaker 4: And I don't think I've had as many texts in
Speaker 4: a short amount of time ever as I had about
Speaker 4: this issue. I mean in a short amount of time
Speaker 4: I said I had like eight of them or nine
Speaker 4: of them. I have like twenty three of them right now.
Speaker 4: Twenty three text or emails or excuse me, text or
Speaker 4: comments on this about one to twenty seven. Proposition one
Speaker 4: twenty seven prohibiting bobcat LINX and mountain lion hunting. They
Speaker 4: said four trophies. But what somebody says is it's a
Speaker 4: sneaky way to prohibit all hunting of those animals because
Speaker 4: they're only allowed. You're only allowed to hunt them for
Speaker 4: protection of livestock or your life or property, which means
Speaker 4: in all other cases you wouldn't be able to hunt them.
Speaker 4: And they're saying right now, a certain amount of hunting
Speaker 4: is allowed when the population gets too big. Wildlife controls
Speaker 4: it in order not to exhaust or diplenish the deer
Speaker 4: population or the elk population. And again, if you let
Speaker 4: cats go and not have that culling of the population.
Speaker 4: It's going to wreak havoc on the rest of the ecosystem.
Speaker 4: That's what the people against it are saying. That people
Speaker 4: who are for it, they say, are secretly trying to
Speaker 4: ban hunting eventually where not only where will there be
Speaker 4: a bunch of mountain lions and cats and all that,
Speaker 4: but there won't be enough deer to hunt to begin with.
Speaker 4: Or elk Steve, what is.
Speaker 26: Your comment, Thanks Tom, Yeah, you presented that very well.
Speaker 26: Those are the two sides, and this goes back to
Speaker 26: the buzzword of trophy hunting is the same thing the
Speaker 26: left uses in assault weapons. They're not applicable terms in
Speaker 26: either case. This is conservation and environmentalism gone nuts, and
Speaker 26: we just had the biggest disaster. We're in the middle
Speaker 26: of it still where Colorado Parks and wildlife and even
Speaker 26: the left eco left is admitting that the wolf reintroduction
Speaker 26: is a total disaster. What you have, and you explained
Speaker 26: it on one side, is you have environmental ideologists who want,
Speaker 26: ultimately yes to ban all honey.
Speaker 4: Colorado is one of.
Speaker 26: The few states that has written into its constitution that
Speaker 26: you can't trap animals. And I'm not a big trap fan,
Speaker 26: but there are certain cases like living down here in
Speaker 26: Douglas County along the Plum Creek Watershed, both Plum Creek
Speaker 26: East and West plum Creek beavers have gone wild and
Speaker 26: people have to take it into their own hands to
Speaker 26: cut down some of their dam from time to time
Speaker 26: and take the animals out because they destroy property. I
Speaker 26: don't know how to more clearly say this, but we
Speaker 26: have scientists, and your previous caller before the break set
Speaker 26: it very well and I think you were getting it.
Speaker 26: We have scientists. These are people that have gone to
Speaker 26: school and college and work in the field every single
Speaker 26: day to determine what the carrying capacity is for certain animals.
Speaker 26: For example, bear, the holding capacity for the state of
Speaker 26: Colorado has been established for many years now and it's
Speaker 26: around twelve thousand animals. We have over twenty two thousand bears.
Speaker 26: And this isn't Colorado Parks and Wildlife fault, and it's
Speaker 26: not even the Eco Left's fault. We just have fewer
Speaker 26: hunters now, but we have a bear population that has
Speaker 26: gone wild. So maybe you can derive out of my
Speaker 26: rambling rant here is that you can't let the eco
Speaker 26: left run these things. It has to be done on science.
Speaker 4: I remember, that's pretty logical. That's pretty logical if you
Speaker 4: want an ecosystem that's balanced, obviously, I mean, I mean,
Speaker 4: we would all love everything to live in peace and
Speaker 4: harmony forever, but I mean, it just doesn't work that.
Speaker 13: Way, correct, you know.
Speaker 26: And it even goes down to the signage when you
Speaker 26: go into the state forests and the national forest.
Speaker 5: It used to be you.
Speaker 26: Would go into let's say, up in outside of Sedalia,
Speaker 26: up into Deckers, it's the Pike National Forest. All of
Speaker 26: those signs and markers showing the boundary of entering the
Speaker 26: National forest used to say land of many uses. That
Speaker 26: was taken away many years ago. They don't say that
Speaker 26: anymore because it's not the land of many uses. It
Speaker 26: is the land of conservation. Uber allis over management. The
Speaker 26: left does not want management.
Speaker 4: They want you know, it's really fun you know, it's
Speaker 4: really funny, ste you. The left actually coined a phrase
Speaker 4: called believe the science. And during COVID and by the way,
Speaker 4: climate change and every other thing that they attack, the
Speaker 4: last thing they do is believe the science.
Speaker 26: And in fact it's gaslighting, and in fact it's all
Speaker 26: it's all emotion.
Speaker 4: It's emotion versus science. They should have yard signs that
Speaker 4: say believe your emotions, because when it comes to science,
Speaker 4: they don't follow science because they they just don't. And
Speaker 4: and what's amazing to me is that's become a battle
Speaker 4: cry to them believe.
Speaker 26: The science applied you for I applaud you for having
Speaker 26: the bravery to say those words.
Speaker 4: Is well, it's true. Show I don't work for nine News.
Speaker 4: I can talk truth. I mean, I mean, listen, it's
Speaker 4: it's it's just true. You can't run life on emotion,
Speaker 4: by the way, I mean that for everything, including faith,
Speaker 4: including every aspect of your life. Don't let just emotion
Speaker 4: run what you do. I mean, look, look, I don't
Speaker 4: want to get into each and every detail, but if
Speaker 4: you think about it, Steve, it all comes down to
Speaker 4: people following emotion first and not facts and not science.
Speaker 26: They don't Conversation of the Day on your program, Now, Steve, I.
Speaker 4: Want to, I want to. I want to explain something
Speaker 4: else that is going to get me canceled. And that's this.
Speaker 4: There is a four million hours it four hundred four
Speaker 4: I think it's a four million, four million year fossil
Speaker 4: record that they examined in ice and stone and sedimentary
Speaker 4: layers to find the atmospheric conditions, temperatures, and life over
Speaker 4: a four four million year period, and they found the
Speaker 4: same exact climactic cycles happened millions of years ago. There
Speaker 4: was not a car on the There was not even
Speaker 4: a car thought of, and not a factory. Nothing. Now,
Speaker 4: I'm not saying the Earth is not going through cycles.
Speaker 4: It is. It is going through cycles, and it will
Speaker 4: continue to go through cycles. And that four million year
Speaker 4: study proved that we go through cycles. Look it up.
Speaker 4: And here's what's amazing about that. We can't change it. Now,
Speaker 4: don't get me wrong. We should be stewards of our earth.
Speaker 4: We should. We should scientifically control animal herds, We should
Speaker 4: scientifically control emissions when we can and where we can,
Speaker 4: to a point, but we can't control volcanoes. We can't
Speaker 4: control the main source of climate change. And the sort
Speaker 4: that the sources we can control amount to literally less
Speaker 4: than a thimble in all of the oceans of the world.
Speaker 4: That that is the volume, the actual volume of gases
Speaker 4: that we emit compared to what the volume is of
Speaker 4: our atmosphere. But people do not want to look at facts.
Speaker 4: Their emotions blind them. And then then here's another famous
Speaker 4: thing they say. If you don't let emotion blind you,
Speaker 4: do you know what? They call you hateful? You're it's
Speaker 4: no longer disagreeing, you're hateful. Why are you hateful? Because
Speaker 4: you disagree with something and you have good reason to
Speaker 4: it all sucks anyway, Thanks for calling you got me

Speaker 4: I want you to listen to this. Okay, I want
Speaker 4: you to listen. I look this up. This study okay.
Speaker 4: And in a landmark study, scientists discovered just how much
Speaker 4: the Earth's climate has changed in nearly five hundred million years.
Speaker 4: The new research shows that the Earth's climate has never
Speaker 4: been stable over more than a few thousand years. They
Speaker 4: went back it gets so technical, but they went back
Speaker 4: into the fossil record, and it went back to sea levels,
Speaker 4: and it went back to some kind of fossil records
Speaker 4: that show wildfires, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes. They have gone back
Speaker 4: studying prehistoric climates for decades. They produced reliable, comprehensive views
Speaker 4: of the Earth's surface. Now how they did it, You're
Speaker 4: just going to have to read it because I'm doing
Speaker 4: this live. Okay. They have a robust and reproducible curve
Speaker 4: gain based on what they found with estimated prehistoric temperatures.
Speaker 4: And they talk about oxygen isotopes and prehistoric rock layers
Speaker 4: and fossils and trapped samplings of the air. Dozens of
Speaker 4: palaeoclimate community in the community built a database of one
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty thousand estimates and put them all together
Speaker 4: into a comprehensive study com do with it. Ice corners
Speaker 4: they were using, that was part of it, but also
Speaker 4: regular other fossils. Now, it said that the results covered
Speaker 4: Earth's temperatures over four hundred and eighty five million years, okay,
Speaker 4: And it said that basically that the Earth has been
Speaker 4: very very unstable. Climate has been very very unstable, and
Speaker 4: the Earth went through continual periods of increasing average temperatures
Speaker 4: to decreasing average temperatures. And in fact, they even quoted
Speaker 4: from fifty one wait where is it fifty one degrees
Speaker 4: to oh damn. It's so hard to do this when
Speaker 4: you're doing this live, right, But all I have to
Speaker 4: tell you is this, how can you ever say that
Speaker 4: the period of time from our industrial age till now
Speaker 4: had any significant impact? You're all a bunch of fear mongers. Now,
Speaker 4: don't cancel me saying I don't care about the Earth.
Speaker 4: Of course I do. We should be good stewards of
Speaker 4: our planet and of our earth and our atmosphere. But
Speaker 4: for God's sakes, average temperature spanned from fifty one point
Speaker 4: eight degrees fahrenheit to ninety six point eight degrees fahrenheit. Now,
Speaker 4: how the hell is that gonna work with all you
Speaker 4: climate fear mongers and the Church of climate change. If
Speaker 4: for the Church of climate change, this should be your
Speaker 4: holy scriptures, But it's not. Why Because as with most
Speaker 4: issues today, people deal with emotion and not facts, emotion
Speaker 4: and not facts, or politics not facts, And then they
Speaker 4: have the nerve to say, well, you're hateful, hateful hate,
Speaker 4: God Almighty hate has become the bullet Pooh, you're hateful,
Speaker 4: You're hateful. Bang, bang, you're hateful.
Speaker 5: No I'm not.
Speaker 4: I just don't want to see six foot four men
Speaker 4: say that they're a woman with a penis and get
Speaker 4: let into a woman's prison where they rape inmates. Boy,
Speaker 4: that's pretty damn hateful of me, isn't it. And I
Speaker 4: don't want to see my teenage daughter pummeled in high
Speaker 4: school sports and never have a chance. I don't want
Speaker 4: to see our lives significantly changed over a fear of
Speaker 4: a climate cycle that's been going on for four hundred
Speaker 4: and eighty five million years. Yet I consider myself an environmentalist.
Speaker 4: I consider myself very liberal in some areas. I consider
Speaker 4: myself very conservative in some area is And I have
Speaker 4: to tell you something, No, we don't all come in
Speaker 4: one flavor, shape or size, for God's sakes, and we shouldn't.
Speaker 4: And one thing is for sure, one thing is for
Speaker 4: Assley sure. Not one ounce of hate rules what I
Speaker 4: think about. It is based on fact and figures.
Speaker 5: Not just emotion.
Speaker 4: Emotion plays into it in some way. But you know what,
Speaker 4: I am so sick and tired. This study blows the
Speaker 4: hell out of any climate theory in the entire universe.
Speaker 4: Look in Smithsonian magazine. That's one of them. Smithsonian has it,
Speaker 4: and you can also find it in Smithsonian is the
Speaker 4: biggest one, but you'll find it as Science dot org.
Speaker 4: Our recent study titled A four hundred and eighty five
Speaker 4: million Year History of the Earth's Surface Temperature offers a
Speaker 4: comprehensive reconstruction of the Earth's climate over the past four
Speaker 4: hundred and eighty five million years. The research published in
Speaker 4: Science in September twenty twenty four and co led by
Speaker 4: the Smithsonian Institution and the University of Arizona. The study
Speaker 4: combines fossil records and climate models to provide detailed insights
Speaker 4: into historic fluctuations and climatic change. And guess what they found?
Speaker 4: There was never a period more than a few thousand
Speaker 4: years of stability. And guess what for a big part
Speaker 4: of this four hundred eighty five million years, we didn't
Speaker 4: have cars, we didn't have cow farts. What the hell
Speaker 4: is going on? How dare these people? How dare they
Speaker 4: come out with a study like this? Take the fifteen break?
Speaker 4: Or am I going crazy? I am good? I want
Speaker 4: to go to the phone. So I'm sorry, Go ahead, Wong?
Speaker 4: What's happening?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 25: Tom?
Speaker 2: Do you hear me?
Speaker 4: I sure can Wong? What's going on? Yeah?
Speaker 12: I have a internet with comcat Actinity for ten two
Speaker 12: thousand and eighteen to now okay, and I start, it's
Speaker 12: helped me fifty five bucks a month and then going
Speaker 12: yeavery year. Now it's going to nineties. And they said,
Speaker 12: I they just get from my credit card with now
Speaker 12: I AUTHORII or anything. And I called him and they said,
Speaker 12: look at my rag.
Speaker 4: Now wait a minute. Long are you complaining? Because the
Speaker 4: service has increased over the years right, But okay, so
Speaker 4: why don't you change to another service? No?
Speaker 12: No, he hit the point your tom. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 12: from a six years they have me, Oh, but have
Speaker 12: me sixteen hundred dollars and I ignore. And I didn't
Speaker 12: know how fast it is, so they said, because I
Speaker 12: have the fast, super fast speed. But I said, the
Speaker 12: modem they give me, I look it up now and
Speaker 12: I didn't get it, only three hundred myths, So I
Speaker 12: didn't get the Soviet what they said?
Speaker 11: Okay, so long?
Speaker 4: How many years do you claim you were being overcharged
Speaker 4: because you were not getting the modem to extract the
Speaker 4: service you were paying?
Speaker 12: Ye, from twenty eighteen to two? Now, just clock up
Speaker 12: of my night start look into.
Speaker 4: That and do they acknowledge this? Are they willing to
Speaker 4: make an adjustment?
Speaker 13: No, they don't.
Speaker 12: They said, I refret to upgrade my modem and so
Speaker 12: on so forth. But currently my modem two. I look
Speaker 12: at it. My modem, it can only run maximum three
Speaker 12: hundred myth Okay, how much I much?
Speaker 4: Hold on, bro? How much were you paying for.
Speaker 12: Right now? I pay a lot too, munth. I played
Speaker 12: ninety something dollar and then I'm talking to the said,
Speaker 12: oh no, no.
Speaker 4: Here's the wan Wang Wang Wong. Hold on, you said
Speaker 4: your modem will only support three hundred rate, right right? Okay?
Speaker 5: And that's hold on.
Speaker 4: And how much of a rate were you paying for?
Speaker 4: How many myths were you paying for?
Speaker 13: Right now? I'm paying for it myth?
Speaker 4: Okay, I get it. I get it. So if you
Speaker 4: were paying for eight hundred myths all these years but
Speaker 4: never able but you were never able to use it,
Speaker 4: why why did they mismatch your service with your modem
Speaker 4: all these years?
Speaker 20: Right exactly?
Speaker 4: I want okay, Wong? Did you ask them why they
Speaker 4: mismatched your service with your motive? Right?
Speaker 12: They ended? I'm just saying always send yes now, but
Speaker 12: I didn't know anything about that.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. I I do believe they should
Speaker 4: do some kind of an adjustment for you. I think
Speaker 4: you have a good case.
Speaker 5: Here that you get up to eight hundred.
Speaker 4: So in that three hundred and okay. And by the way,
Speaker 4: what's the initials of that service? Is it? MPs?
Speaker 13: Is it?
Speaker 9: What is it?
Speaker 5: Mega?
Speaker 4: M pbs mpbs? Yeah, yes, it is mega. Okay, So
Speaker 4: listen here, here's what I want to say. I want
Speaker 4: to I want to I want to take your care.
Speaker 4: I want deputy d to to to call over there
Speaker 4: on Xfinity. Okay, where were you going to say, d Wong?
Speaker 11: What do you use this modem for? What do you
Speaker 11: use the broadband? What do you use your internet for?
Speaker 12: I did pol what's a TV? And do some shirt
Speaker 12: and looking for thing you know, like YouTube and things
Speaker 12: like that.
Speaker 2: Okay, and I don't know how fast it is.
Speaker 18: So have you experienced any problems watching TV and YouTube
Speaker 18: and internet?
Speaker 5: Show?
Speaker 4: And you're saying, yeah, but he could have had a
Speaker 4: plan with much lower speeds.
Speaker 18: Yeah, that's I'm saying that he might have over purchased
Speaker 18: the plan to begin with. But if he did over purchase,
Speaker 18: they should have matched the motive.
Speaker 12: But I didn't. I didn't reap this team, the modem,
Speaker 12: speed or anything. The guy I didn't know.
Speaker 4: So when you first when did you first hold on?
Speaker 4: When did you first sign up for this?
Speaker 11: Twenty eighteen?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 4: He he said he had this high speed? Since then?
Speaker 4: Is that when you signed up to begin with? Right?
Speaker 12: I signed up in twenty eighteen on my building from scene.
Speaker 12: Now they checked me, yet you have sixteen seventy eighteen
Speaker 12: ninety now so on together they always have me sixteen hundred.
Speaker 11: So did you ask for a refund?
Speaker 4: You know, so you can notice I would make that
Speaker 4: argument in small cleaves card. Did you ask him for
Speaker 4: a refund?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 12: I did, and I sent it to the I checked
Speaker 12: the office and the guy just end that on FCC
Speaker 12: and I probably did to say come name the SEC
Speaker 12: and the FCC told me, uh they yet basically they
Speaker 12: just in the middle guy. They just tried to talk
Speaker 12: to back and far between uh uh at Trinity and me.

Speaker 4: the people that buy solar, are they buying it for
Speaker 4: the environment, are they buying it for the economy of it?
Speaker 4: What are they buying it for? Mostly when you talk
Speaker 4: to people, what do you find?
Speaker 14: Almost always the economy, it's.
Speaker 4: Us They want to save money yep.
Speaker 14: And then the second behind that is mostly distrust of
Speaker 14: the grid, so having a backup power source in case
Speaker 14: something goes wrong. And then I would say third is environment.
Speaker 14: Environment's pretty well, most of the folks I deal with
Speaker 14: or are looking for those top two reasons.
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, so they just want to save money. How
Speaker 4: long somebody wants to know truly, how long if you
Speaker 4: haven't installed correctly, will the solar system go without needing service? Ooh? Roughly?
Speaker 4: I mean, in your experience, what do you think these
Speaker 4: components are pretty solid state. There's no moving parts, right, Yeah.
Speaker 14: There's no moving parts. The solar panels themselves can last
Speaker 14: thirty forty fifty years. The inverter is going to need
Speaker 14: work maybe every ten.
Speaker 4: To fifteen years. That's nothing.
Speaker 14: And then you might need a service tech to come out,
Speaker 14: like say the grid goes down or something wonky happens,
Speaker 14: just to reset your system. But typically they're pretty self sufficient.
Speaker 4: Do you run a service department?
Speaker 14: Oh, yeah, absolutely, we prefer services.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's cool. So if you have a system, even
Speaker 4: if they didn't put it in there, three oho three
Speaker 4: seven zero four two four four nine. Man, I'm getting
Speaker 4: a lot of interesting texts as well, people about this
Speaker 4: man did this mountain lion thing? Holy crap, did this
Speaker 4: mountain lying thing really really hit a nerve? The bottom
Speaker 4: line and the consensus from the people I'm hearing from,
Speaker 4: they say that it's just a sneaky way to ban
Speaker 4: hunting or discourage hunting, not just of cats, but that
Speaker 4: by increasing the cat population and not allowing you to
Speaker 4: hunt them will decrease the other populations of animals, making
Speaker 4: it unattractive to go hunting, so it will eventually be
Speaker 4: a place where you don't hunt. Now, I don't know
Speaker 4: if that's sure enough, but they see that's the hidden
Speaker 4: agenda behind it be very interesting to see what happens
Speaker 4: with this proposition as we go on.
Speaker 7: And talk about one.
Speaker 4: Okay, so one thirty one is basically the establishing of
Speaker 4: an all candidate primary and ranked choice. Is this a
Speaker 4: controversial topic?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 4: See personally ranked choice voting doesn't concern me as much
Speaker 4: as it does other people because I've always thought years ago,
Speaker 4: I want to say this very quickly, years ago, when
Speaker 4: I was doing a consumer jury on Channel four, meaning
Speaker 4: I would have products we would test, and we would
Speaker 4: have five products, and let's say that I would At first,
Speaker 4: when I first started doing it, I said, okay, if
Speaker 4: I had a panel of twenty, whoever got the most
Speaker 4: first place votes one?
Speaker 5: But then I.
Speaker 4: Realized, what if they got one got consistently number two?
Speaker 4: Like people loved it, but it was number two, but
Speaker 4: they varied on number one. So what I did back
Speaker 4: then was I gave a certain number of points for first,
Speaker 4: a certain number of points for second, a certain number
Speaker 4: of points for third, and a certain number of points
Speaker 4: for fourth. The way I did that was how many
Speaker 4: others they beat out and then I applied to formula
Speaker 4: and that was ranked choice voting. So what it really
Speaker 4: did was it took the product that appeared in the
Speaker 4: top three the most, and it ranked it on a
Speaker 4: weighted score. And isn't that what this is doing. It's
Speaker 4: taking the candidates that appear in the top choices the most.
Speaker 7: But don't you think it's going to lead to tyranny
Speaker 7: of the majority?
Speaker 20: Tom?
Speaker 7: If you're in a heavily democratic area.
Speaker 8: I think there should be a choice between the parties
Speaker 8: rather than having four Democrats or else people voting for
Speaker 8: the worst candidate in the other party so that they
Speaker 8: rigging the election, so that if there's a candidate who's
Speaker 8: let's a way out on the right, and the Democrats
Speaker 8: are voting for him or her, they're going to have
Speaker 8: somebody who doesn't belong in a ballot and get no votes.
Speaker 4: See, this is what I don't understand. I'm not going
Speaker 4: to pretend to understand this particular proposition, and I know
Speaker 4: a lot of conservatives are against it and a lot
Speaker 4: of progressives are for it. Now here's I just have
Speaker 4: to ask this does it work? Are you telling me?
Speaker 4: Let's say, let's take a Senate race and there's six
Speaker 4: people in it, and four of them are Democrat and
Speaker 4: two are Republican fighting. Now, normally the Republicans would just
Speaker 4: fight against the Republicans in the primary, and the Democrats
Speaker 4: against the Democrats. Right, are you saying they would all
Speaker 4: be heaped into one one voting.
Speaker 7: That's exactly what one does.
Speaker 19: So now top four, So if the top four just
Speaker 19: happened to be Democrats, you only have a Democrat on
Speaker 19: the ballot.
Speaker 9: But is it?
Speaker 4: Okay? But which demos? If the top four, the top
Speaker 4: four vote getters would be, you would have four candidates
Speaker 4: on the ballot.
Speaker 19: And all would be Democrats in theory, No, no, I
Speaker 19: get what you're saying.
Speaker 4: For sure, Okay, so what if? Though? What? But but
Speaker 4: isn't there a better I don't know. Isn't there a
Speaker 4: better chance of you being in an election having ranked
Speaker 4: choice than not? You're because with if you don't have
Speaker 4: ranked choice, you're either in a round. Oh but what
Speaker 4: you're saying is what you don't like is the conglomeration
Speaker 4: of the party.
Speaker 19: Correct the way it is now, you will have some
Speaker 19: Democrats and some Republican to each or so far rank
Speaker 19: choices you could possibly have either all Democrats.
Speaker 5: I see all Republican.
Speaker 4: I see that, and you're right. It does have a
Speaker 4: bit of a majority. If the majority of voters are Democrat,
Speaker 4: they're going to vote for the choices that are our
Speaker 4: Democrat first, second, third, and fourth, and the rank choice
Speaker 4: will mostly likely be whatever the majority party is. What
Speaker 4: if they had ranked choice voting. Listen to this on
Speaker 4: the Republican side versus Republican and Democrats versus Democrat, and
Speaker 4: then you take two from each.
Speaker 8: Well, that's what the primaries do, tom, If you have
Speaker 8: Republican primary, you get the best Republican candidate, and.
Speaker 4: You kind of do You're right, You're absolutely right. Yeah,
Speaker 4: you know what for for the food choices and for
Speaker 4: the comparisons I was doing in consumer stuff, it worked.
Speaker 4: I don't know if it works this way, because, as
Speaker 4: Dragon pointed out, you could end up with you know,
Speaker 4: a number of candidates from the same party running against.
Speaker 7: That was my initial concern.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I get it. I get it all right,
Speaker 4: three oh three, seven to one three talk. I don't
Speaker 4: know why my camera went dead, but it did. I'll
