WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.600 --> 00:00:03.240 The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock 2 00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:04.759 accident and injury lawyers. 3 00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:18.559 No, it's Mandy Connell on KAM. 4 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.559 Got nice. 5 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:23.679 By Connell. 6 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:30.239 Sad bab Welcome, Welcome to a Wednesday edition of the show. 7 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.000 I'm your host for the next three hours, Mandy Connell, joined, 8 00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:35.640 of course, by my right hand man. He's a rod 9 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.880 but you can call him Anthony Rodriguez. Today we've got 10 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.520 a bunch of stuff on the blog and some big topics. 11 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.000 My brain kind of hurts a little bit because I've 12 00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:47.359 been doing a deep dive into cutter. Used to be qatar, 13 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:50.640 but now it's cutter. And you know this. 14 00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:52.520 Again? 15 00:00:52.600 --> 00:00:54.520 Is it katar? No, it used to be it used 16 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:55.520 to bear. 17 00:00:56.719 --> 00:00:57.479 I thought it was kaar. 18 00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:58.359 Are we back to guitar? 19 00:00:58.600 --> 00:00:59.359 I lost track? 20 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:02.240 Wait, check it on the internet. See what the Internet says. 21 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.719 Internet is always right. Abraham Lincoln said that I read 22 00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.920 that on the Internet anyway, while he's googling to find 23 00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.920 out if it's cutter or a Qatar or something totally 24 00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:14.439 different that we're not up to speed. 25 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.599 On the most Apparently, according to aos Okay, the most 26 00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.879 common English pronunciation is qatar katar. Some speakers especially those 27 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.959 with Middle Eastern connections, may pronounce it closer to cutter. 28 00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:30.280 Okay, Qatar, we're gonna go with guitar either. 29 00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.799 I'm just gonna say Qatar, and I'm just gonna decide 30 00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:34.799 it right now until I forget that I decided it 31 00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:36.799 and refer to it in a different way. But nonetheless, 32 00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:41.159 this Middle Eastern swing by President Trump, if you just 33 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.640 miss Leland Vitter on Ross's show, Leland put it so well, 34 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:50.599 Donald Trump is upended American foreign policy in the Middle 35 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:55.599 East with one visit, and oh, thank goodness, thank you Jesus, 36 00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.840 because I our Middle East policy has been an unmitigated 37 00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.599 disaster in my opinion. Now, granted I have the benefit 38 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:06.319 of hindsight, it's easy to look back at something and say, boy, 39 00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.919 was that stupid? And I feel that about a lot 40 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.520 of the things we've done in the Middle East, Boy 41 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:16.400 was that stupid? One are the things that is becoming 42 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:21.159 incredibly crystal clear. And this is driving the left crazy 43 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.319 because the left assumes that Donald Trump is doing whatever 44 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.919 it is he's doing only to benefit himself, and they're 45 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.000 always trying to find the way that Donald Trump is 46 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.759 enriching himself through his presidency. And when he does things 47 00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:39.159 like try to take a jet from Cutter. Uh, yeah, 48 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:41.159 I don't know. I realized I just said Cutter. I 49 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:44.240 just I caught myself, even though I was going with guitar. 50 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:50.080 But now it's Cutter. I don't know that place. And 51 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:54.240 in hindsight, you look at everything we've done in the 52 00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.879 Middle East, and we've done it because for a very 53 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:00.639 long time they were so energy dominant that we were 54 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:05.080 forced to play a certain game in order to continue 55 00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:09.960 having access to that energy. Well, we're not energy reliant 56 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.400 on them anyway. I mean, if worst case scenario, right, 57 00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:17.080 everybody retreats to their borders and nobody is exporting any 58 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.319 kind of natural gas or energy or oil or anything 59 00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:22.800 like that, we're going to be fine. We are aoka, 60 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:31.319 So that motivation is no more. And Donald Trump, I 61 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.879 believe he is the first anti war president we've had 62 00:03:34.960 --> 00:03:39.080 in a very long time. But where other people see 63 00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:43.879 reasons to fight, reasons to send their young men to die, 64 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:49.680 Donald Trump sees wasted opportunity. So he is anti war 65 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:54.680 and pro economic development because he believes that when prosperity happens, 66 00:03:55.360 --> 00:03:58.840 people are going to be far less anxious to try 67 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.759 and take over the world when their little corner of 68 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:04.000 the world is pretty dang good. Now, I know that 69 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.919 that's not going to tamp down all the world's violence, 70 00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:10.439 but a rising tide lifting all ships and whatnot. I mean, 71 00:04:10.479 --> 00:04:13.800 that's there's something to that. When people are happy with 72 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:17.040 their lives, they're far less likely to get sucked into 73 00:04:17.079 --> 00:04:19.800 some kind of you know, war or some sort of 74 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.079 aggression against their neighbors now their idea logues, especially in 75 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.279 the Middle East. And this is another reason why our 76 00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:31.480 foreign policy has just been a disaster because culturally, the 77 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.959 Islamists are playing a much different game than the game 78 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.040 we are playing. And it's a game they've been playing 79 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:39.040 since the founding of their religion, and that is the 80 00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:43.839 game of conquering and destroying everybody else who doesn't believe 81 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.720 what they believe. So we can't we don't have that 82 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:50.839 kind of stamina because we're not motivated by the same thing. 83 00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:54.360 We're not on a mission from God, you know. I mean, 84 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.360 people may be motivated motivated by their faith, but the 85 00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:59.759 United States of America is not on a mission from God. 86 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.800 Are in their minds, they are, and that's a very 87 00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.199 powerful motivator, especially when they're their countries are you know, 88 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.600 seen as oppressive or the United States the scene as decadent? 89 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.079 So yeah, it was time anyway, gosh, I didn't even 90 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.240 do the blog yet. Sorry about that. Let's do that now. Fine, fine, 91 00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:17.759 I know it did get distracted. 92 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:18.519 Uh. 93 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:22.879 Find the blog at mandy'sblog dot com.

And you know what 122 00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:06.040 I was thinking, uh a rod. I talked about this 123 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:07.800 briefly the other day, and I threw it into the ether, 124 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.160 hoping someone would volunteer to make it happen. But no 125 00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.000 one has, so I'm probably gonna have to do it myself. 126 00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.519 Just fine, you have like forty jobs, you don't need 127 00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.000 another one. I want to do it like a series 128 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:21.480 of movies like wouldn't it be fun to rent out 129 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.959 a theater and invite listeners to come watch politically and 130 00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:28.160 correct movies? And Idiocracy might be our first one. 131 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:34.759 If I may, mister Reesience Theater three thousand round, There 132 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.680 we go, Mandy Connell special. 133 00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:39.800 Yes, we'll bring some of our friends. Maybe that Ryan 134 00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:43.240 Schuling from over across the hall. He's funny, you know, 135 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:48.480 Maybe that Ross Kaminski sneki a koa cast exactly. Well, 136 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.040 I'm not to do this. I have no idea how 137 00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.600 to execute this. So I'll bring this up to somebody 138 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:54.480 and see if we can make it happen. I think 139 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.759 it'd be super fun. But I'd forgotten about Idiocracies opening 140 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.639 three minutes, which is an absolute delight, a delight. It's 141 00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:07.319 almost freakish to know how long ago this movie came out. 142 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:10.199 And in twenty twenty eight, Terry Crews really runs as president. 143 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.319 I mean not a bad candidate at this point. I 144 00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:17.639 mean anything is possible. 145 00:08:17.759 --> 00:08:18.240 Stephen A. 146 00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.560 Smith versus Terry Crews first, Donald Trump in his third 147 00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:24.759 term versus the spirits of Joe Biden. 148 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.879 Why a four man race? Why wellocracy? 149 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.560 Three man on a Ghost. That's true. So if you're 150 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:33.879 offended by bad language, don't watch it. But it's so 151 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.679 funny and just the first three minutes is going to 152 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:38.840 make you go, oh my goodness. 153 00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:41.759 There's an argument to be made that no movie holds 154 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:43.279 up more than Antiocracy. 155 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.639 I think it actually is getting better with age. Hey, 156 00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:49.480 you know it's it's it's aging like a fine wine. 157 00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:52.159 It came out in two thousand and six, and it 158 00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.600 just keeps getting I know, this is what I'm saying. Yeah, 159 00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.720 it's almost twenty years old, and it just keeps getting 160 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.559 more and more fairly accurate every single time. 161 00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:04.039 I gotta watch it again. 162 00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.080 Now I know you can't watch it. You don't make 163 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:07.519 sure there's not a mic on, because there's a lot 164 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.159 of potty milthing in there, a lot of potty mouthing 165 00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:10.519 going on. 166 00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:11.279 Great cast. 167 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.600 Oh yeah, everybody was in it, and it flew under 168 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:15.080 the radar at the time when it came. 169 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:18.039 Out again cult classic. 170 00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:21.399 Yep, Well wait a minute, maybe we start with PCU. 171 00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.879 Have you ever seen Political Correctness University? I believe that 172 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:29.080 came out in like maybe nineteen eighty one. Look up 173 00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.919 and see when PCU came out nineteen ninety four. Okay, 174 00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:35.720 so it's much later than I thought, but still same thing. 175 00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:42.080 It's all about how college campuses go absolutely batpoof crazy, crazy, 176 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.399 insane with political correctness. And it's exactly what happened on 177 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.120 college campuses. I mean like they got the script and 178 00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:52.799 we're like, oh, we can totally play this role. Yeah, 179 00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:55.720 it's the role I was born to play. So maybe 180 00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:59.320 we start with PCU and then go to idiocracy. Let's see, 181 00:09:59.360 --> 00:10:02.399 I'm announced the textures on the common uh Common Spirit 182 00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:07.600 health text line.

I don't even know. 209 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.120 This is going to make me look like the biggest 210 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.039 idiot in the world. But you, guys, I promise I'm 211 00:11:23.039 --> 00:11:26.039 smart about other stuff. I have no idea how to 212 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:31.639 close the windows on my iPad, so scroll up. But 213 00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.159 then where do I know? I chuck will pick up 214 00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.039 my iPad though, good lord, woman, I have no idea 215 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:38.879 that they're all open. I don't know what that is. 216 00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.440 This is the part where I make you feel bad. 217 00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:42.080 You feel like an idiot. 218 00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:46.039 iPhone is vastly considered the simpler platforms. 219 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.200 Oh god, well, maybe there you go. 220 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.360 Soh not saying you're dumb. 221 00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:55.720 Yeah yeah, iPhone is easier, I'm okay, more straightforward. 222 00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:00.519 Yeah, just saying, but again, how how do we get 223 00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:02.480 the movie? People who are texting about this? 224 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:05.519 You give us seven dollars. 225 00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:09.440 Yeah, seven dollars, that's all it is. But how do 226 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:11.519 you get the movie? That's what I need to know. 227 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:13.639 What do you mean? How do you get the movie? 228 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.039 How do you like if we want to play PCU, 229 00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:18.000 how do we get that movie? Do we have to 230 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:20.080 buy a DVD? Because I bet you I can find 231 00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:22.080 a DVD or whatever? What format? 232 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:22.840 How do you get them? 233 00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:24.480 That's the question. 234 00:12:24.519 --> 00:12:25.919 To ask the theater? What platform? 235 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:28.759 Okay, let's call the theater. Call find a theater that's 236 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:30.279 open right now, and let's call a theater and see 237 00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:31.519 if it' A manager will come on the show and 238 00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:32.480 answer these questions. 239 00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:35.679 I know they won't refer us to someone in PR. 240 00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:38.360 No, it's fine. Just tell me some questions. So we 241 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:40.559 have questions about how to rent a theater so we 242 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:42.600 can show a movie to our listeners. They're going to 243 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:43.799 want to talk about it. We'll just get them to 244 00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:45.480 do it on the air. Call make it happen. No, 245 00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.679 do that right now? Okay, coming up at one o'clock today, 246 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.879 this show's already off the rails. I don't I don't 247 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.000 know if you guys notice it. It's completely I have 248 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.240 no cluence going on right now. I one o'clock the 249 00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:00.480 gets back on the rails. Probably hopefully before that, We're 250 00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:02.200 going to talk to Cliff May from the Foundation for 251 00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:06.240 the Defensive Democracies. You just wrote a column about Indian Pakistan. 252 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:09.240 And though I have been paying sort of, you know, 253 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:12.879 corner of the eye attention to Indian Pakistan because they 254 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.360 are both nuclear nations, so if they really go at it, 255 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:19.799 that could be very, very, very bad, but I did 256 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.159 not have a lot of history or context, and Cliff 257 00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:24.759 wrote a column that gave me both. So reached out 258 00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:26.279 to him this morning and said, hey, can you come 259 00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.399 on the show. He's coming on at one to talk 260 00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:32.720 about that, But I also want to talk about the 261 00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:35.159 Middle Eastern swing that President Trump is on right now. 262 00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:36.519 I want to talk about whether or not I can 263 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:41.919 trust Cutter Qatar Cutter. I'm going with Cutter. It rolls 264 00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.000 off the town a little bit better. Going to Cutter, 265 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.279 I'll be wrong. Everybody else will be saying guitar again, 266 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:48.759 and I'll be the one saying cutter. I don't care, 267 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:51.919 you know, I'm gonna say Qatar from now on, right, 268 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.320 because I just line in the sand one more time. 269 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:55.320 So in the. 270 00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:57.399 Past couple of days, I've just been reading a lot 271 00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:02.159 about laws that have past in that country, because there's 272 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:06.600 no doubt that Cutter has been funding terror for many, 273 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.919 many decades. There's no doubt. It's not in question. The 274 00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:12.799 current premiere of I don't know what the head guy 275 00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.360 is there, I don't know what actual title is. His 276 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.960 mother tweeted out support for the October October seventh attackers. 277 00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.200 So they are not friendly in the sense that they 278 00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:26.240 are friendly to all of our allies. But the reality 279 00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:28.960 is is that Donald Trump is making a swing through 280 00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.559 the Middle East in order to get as many allies 281 00:14:32.799 --> 00:14:36.679 on our side as he possibly can, because everybody is 282 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:42.000 posturing for an actual fight with Iran. Israel has been 283 00:14:42.200 --> 00:14:48.080 absolutely bombing the crap out of the Hoothies, out of Hesbola. 284 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:52.159 They are absolutely trying to dismantle all of these sort 285 00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.600 of proxy organizations that Iran has been using to attack 286 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:59.240 them for years. And why are they doing that. They're 287 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:02.159 not going to stop with the Houthis and Hesbela and 288 00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:06.440 Hamas because they know that, like they're already wildly the 289 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:09.200 way Israel I think is looking at this, and I'm 290 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:12.000 just an outsider who pays close attention. I think Israel 291 00:15:12.080 --> 00:15:14.159 is like, you know what, the rest of the world 292 00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:18.799 again has turned their backs on us again. So we 293 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.080 are not going to rely on anyone else's advice or 294 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.200 anyone else's whatever. We are going to go and we 295 00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:28.120 are going to destroy the root of the problem, and 296 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.080 that is Iran. And they are working their way there now. 297 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:34.440 And it doesn't mean that they can't establish a truce 298 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:39.559 with Hamas currently because there's a pretty good chance it 299 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:42.159 had not been confirmed by the time I published the blog. 300 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.039 There's a pretty good chance they killed the last high 301 00:15:45.120 --> 00:15:48.480 level member of HAMAS that helped plan the October seventh attack, 302 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:52.360 and he was widely believed to have been to have 303 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:55.120 been I'm sorry. Oh wait, we got the manager. 304 00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.879 We have, yes, Josephine on the line from AMC Orchard 305 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:03.240 AMC Theater an Orchard up north, and we can answer 306 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:04.840 some general questions about renting out of theater. 307 00:16:04.960 --> 00:16:09.159 Perfect.

I'll cover it up front, but I 321 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:41.120 want my money back. 322 00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:41.799 Yeah, for sure. 323 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:44.120 You know that's a really good idea, cold Feet.

We can't put people 367 00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:50.400 on the air without telling them they're Let me just 368 00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:52.799 say in a former show that I used to work for, 369 00:18:53.720 --> 00:18:56.680 we made our stock in trade was middle of the 370 00:18:56.799 --> 00:19:00.400 night prank phone calls to twenty four hour place, and 371 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:01.839 we never told people. 372 00:19:01.559 --> 00:19:02.200 That arend the air. 373 00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:02.759 I did know that. 374 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:05.359 I appreciate the remind I mean, yeah, wow, but it 375 00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:08.559 was funny. It was really really funny. All right, we'll 376 00:19:08.559 --> 00:19:10.359 be back in just a second. When we get back, 377 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:15.119 the Republicans have explained how they are going to cut Medicaid, 378 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:17.839 and before you freak out, I just want you to 379 00:19:17.920 --> 00:19:20.359 understand what it is they're cutting and what it is 380 00:19:20.359 --> 00:19:22.960 they're requiring. And I promise you you will be like, 381 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:26.119 why isn't it already like that? We'll do that next. 382 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:28.960 We can't pick our own movie. You can only like 383 00:19:29.079 --> 00:19:35.440 rent a private you know, screening for yourself. That's pretty cool, 384 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.680 by the way, you know, that's that's kind of cool 385 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.680 to do that. We'll talk more about that later after 386 00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:44.160 I figured this out. Okay, so let's talk about medicaid 387 00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:50.079 cuts for a minute, because there were so many posts 388 00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:55.559 yesterday on X from my liberal friends, liberal pundits, liberal 389 00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:01.440 commentators about how medicaid cuts are a sure surefire indicator 390 00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:07.160 that people will die. They will die if we cut medicaid, 391 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.680 you are killing people, just like if you didn't wear 392 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:13.079 a mask, you were killing Grandma. I mean, I just 393 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:17.880 drew that analogy very quickly. So the House Republicans are 394 00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:22.480 trying to bring spending under control, trying to do something 395 00:20:22.640 --> 00:20:25.000 about the deficit. I mean, this bill is not going 396 00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:27.440 to go nearly far enough, but it is a huge start. 397 00:20:27.880 --> 00:20:30.119 It's going to be a reconciliation bill, which means that 398 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:32.920 you know, there's a bunch of stuff in the quote 399 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:37.759 big beautiful bill. I hate big beautiful bills. I want 400 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.440 to see individual budgets. I want to see individual budgets debated. 401 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.920 I want to see individual budgets pass the way it's 402 00:20:43.960 --> 00:20:48.960 supposed to. Be this big beautiful bill. Crap is garbage. Unfortunately, 403 00:20:49.000 --> 00:20:50.559 this is the only way to make this happen in 404 00:20:50.599 --> 00:20:55.480 the current political climate. So we all decided on the right. 405 00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:00.359 The means justify the ends. I'm kidding, it never does less. 406 00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:02.440 This is where we are. And as part of that, 407 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.960 they are looking to shave eight hundred and eighty billion 408 00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:08.359 dollars out of Medicaid. And that is a lot of money. 409 00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.720 I mean, that is a big old chunk of change. 410 00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:12.519 So where's it. 411 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:16.079 Going to come from? Because as I see on X, 412 00:21:16.720 --> 00:21:20.039 people will die. And I don't mean to make light 413 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:24.839 of people having access to healthcare at all. I mean, 414 00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:27.279 I want everybody to have some kind of access to healthcare. 415 00:21:27.319 --> 00:21:30.200 But the reality is is that Medicaid is a program 416 00:21:30.359 --> 00:21:33.720 that was designed to serve a very specific group of people, 417 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:38.680 mothers with children in poverty and the elderly in poverty. 418 00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:39.480 It's pretty much it. 419 00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:39.880 Guys. 420 00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.680 I don't know, you got left out because I guess 421 00:21:41.720 --> 00:21:43.880 they figured, you know, you're a dude. You can always 422 00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:45.319 go out there and bus rocks if you need to 423 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:50.079 for money. But the reality is is that now, because 424 00:21:50.119 --> 00:21:53.400 of things specifically that happened during the Biden administration, not 425 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.119 that the Biden administration started this whole out of control 426 00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:01.000 nonsense that we have now. There was tremendous growth in 427 00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:04.200 Medicaid spending in the last two years of the Biden administration, 428 00:22:04.319 --> 00:22:08.640 partly because of the pandemic. There were pandemic Medicaid expansions 429 00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.519 that were encouraged during the pandemic. Of course, you want 430 00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:13.839 people to have health care. There's a pandemic going on. 431 00:22:14.160 --> 00:22:18.119 But then they were supposed to expire at the end 432 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:22.799 of the COVID Public Health Emergency, except the Biden administration 433 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:25.880 extended the public health Emergency into the spring of twenty 434 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:30.799 twenty three, which kept ineligible people on Medicaid much longer. 435 00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:36.200 And then when the Biden administration took regulatory action to 436 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:40.480 keep ineligible people on the program longer and to validate 437 00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:44.960 state financing gimmicks that actually fleece taxpayers quite a bit 438 00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:50.079 and raise Medicaid rates as well. You know, they made 439 00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:52.359 it so much worse in the past two years, and 440 00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:56.319 I really truly believe that they kept it bad now. 441 00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:59.920 Expanding it during COVID one could understand that, not contract 442 00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:02.880 it and then fighting to keep it expanded well after 443 00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:05.960 the Public Health emergency was over. That was simply designed 444 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:09.400 to a put more people on the government dole because 445 00:23:09.400 --> 00:23:11.599 people on the government dole are easier to convince to 446 00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:13.200 hope for you, because all you have to say is 447 00:23:13.680 --> 00:23:15.559 that guy is going to kick you off the public dole. 448 00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:21.319 And you know, people on Medicaid. There's so many people 449 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:21.839 on Medicaid. 450 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:22.039 Oh. 451 00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.200 In another part of this whole thing, the Biden administration 452 00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.400 actually expanded Medicaid to include people making up to one 453 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:33.799 hundred percent of the poverty level and that were healthy 454 00:23:33.880 --> 00:23:38.000 and had no real issues. Why is this a big deal, Well, 455 00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:43.119 they incentivized through a series of priority rules. They incentivized 456 00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:47.160 those people being seen first. So the very people that 457 00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:50.839 this program was designed for, the really poor, mothers with children, 458 00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:54.720 and the elderly, were fighting it harder to get service 459 00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:58.960 and harder to be taken care of. We have to 460 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:00.960 reign in Medicaid costs. So we have to rein in 461 00:24:01.039 --> 00:24:05.400 how states use Medicaid dollars because right now there's an 462 00:24:05.400 --> 00:24:11.559 incentive for states to increase hospital fees because that increases 463 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:14.279 their Medicaid reimbursements. Now, what does that do for the 464 00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:17.079 rest of us? It leaves us with hospital facility fees. 465 00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:24.200 What exactly is that fee for? Does anybody know? Anyone? No, me, neither, 466 00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:28.759 no clue, but we're all paying it. So we've got 467 00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:31.359 to reign in Medicaid. But you have to understand. Listen 468 00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:34.799 to the ways that they want to reform Medicaid. Prepare 469 00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:38.599 to be horrified. Prepare to have your jaw drop into 470 00:24:38.599 --> 00:24:43.079 your lap at the heartlessness of these reforms. Listen to this. 471 00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:47.119 To be eligible for Medicaid, there would be new community 472 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:52.799 engagement requirements of at least eighty hours per month of work, education, 473 00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:58.839 or service for able bodied adults without dependence. So people 474 00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:02.240 who don't have children, who are perfectly fit and able 475 00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:05.960 would either have to have a job for twenty hours 476 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:09.519 a week, or be in some kind of educational program 477 00:25:09.599 --> 00:25:13.680 for twenty hours a week, or volunteer for twenty hours 478 00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:16.799 a week in order to remain on Medicaid. God, that's horrible. 479 00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:21.000 That's the worst thing I've ever heard. I'm being sarcastic. 480 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:25.599 Of course, people would also have to verify their eligibility 481 00:25:25.599 --> 00:25:28.279 to be in the program twice a year, rather than 482 00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:31.880 just once. The bill also adds a more rigorous income 483 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:35.079 verification for those who enrolled in the Affordable Care Acts 484 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:41.960 healthcare coverage. Now that last part about more rigorous requirements 485 00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.359 for that. That's a good thing, because if you think 486 00:25:45.640 --> 00:25:47.720 you are going to sign up in such a way 487 00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:50.480 to get a larger subsidy than you are legally entitled to, 488 00:25:50.880 --> 00:25:53.039 and that the government isn't going to take it out 489 00:25:53.039 --> 00:25:55.759 of your income tax refund the next year, you've lost 490 00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:59.960 your mind. The government's always going to get their money, 491 00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:02.799 So making sure that you have verified your income is 492 00:26:02.839 --> 00:26:04.799 only going to benefit you in the long run. Now 493 00:26:05.680 --> 00:26:10.279 here are some different things to think about. Some Medicaid 494 00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:12.200 recipients who make more than one hundred percent of the 495 00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:14.720 federal poverty level, that's about thirty two thousand dollars a 496 00:26:14.839 --> 00:26:18.119 year for a family of four would be required to 497 00:26:18.160 --> 00:26:21.680 pay out of pocket cost to for some services. Those fees, 498 00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:25.680 which would not apply to emergency room visits, prenatal care, 499 00:26:26.039 --> 00:26:30.119 pediatric visits, or primary care checkups, would be limited to 500 00:26:30.200 --> 00:26:33.920 thirty five dollars per visit. Now, less you think this 501 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.640 is heartless and cruel, talk to your doctor. If your 502 00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:43.680 doctor serves Medicaid patients, just ask your doctor. Are Medicaid 503 00:26:43.680 --> 00:26:49.160 patients reliable in showing up for appointments. Are they reliable 504 00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:51.839 in following through on the instructions or orders or even 505 00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:56.200 medication that you give them. Because I've talked to doctors 506 00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.240 in Kentucky, doctors in Florida, doctors in Colorado that took 507 00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.920 Medicaid patients, and though here's the thing, they still accept 508 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:07.319 Medicaid patients. They want to help people, but they will 509 00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:10.519 express frustration at the level of no shows because there's 510 00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:12.839 no fees and there's no way to ding people right. 511 00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:16.160 No shows, or parents that bring their kids in and 512 00:27:16.200 --> 00:27:19.799 then don't get the medication that will be free for them. 513 00:27:19.920 --> 00:27:22.359 There's a lot of frustration there because a lot of 514 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:25.240 times people in poverty have a lot of other issues, right, 515 00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:28.319 There's a lot of stuff going on, and so they're 516 00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:31.559 not always the best patient. And sometimes you've got to 517 00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:33.440 have a little skin in the game to make it matter. 518 00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:36.680 And I don't want to, you know, to be unable 519 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:38.960 to afford something. I do think that this will lead 520 00:27:38.960 --> 00:27:41.960 to an increase in emergency room visits. I really believe 521 00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:47.480 that applicants, by the way, could also not qualify for 522 00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:51.880 Medicaid if they have a home that is valued at 523 00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:56.240 more than a million dollars. Now I have concerns about 524 00:27:56.240 --> 00:28:00.799 this specifically because if you have a home's valued at 525 00:28:00.839 --> 00:28:02.519 over a million dollars and you still low a bunch 526 00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:04.720 of money on it, now that's a dumb financial decision. 527 00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:07.680 Should probably sell it. I think there needs to be 528 00:28:07.720 --> 00:28:10.839 equity in there instead, Like, if you have a million 529 00:28:10.839 --> 00:28:13.000 dollars in equity in your home, you should not be 530 00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:15.920 on Medicaid. You should sell that home. If you have 531 00:28:15.960 --> 00:28:20.039 a remaining spouse, move into something more reasonable and pay 532 00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:24.319 for your health care. I know it sucks. The proposed 533 00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:28.319 bill also targets any immigrants who are living in the 534 00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:33.960 country illegally or without documentation. It reduces by ten percent 535 00:28:34.440 --> 00:28:37.400 to share the federal government pays to states such as 536 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:42.319 New York or California or Colorado that allow those immigrants 537 00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:44.960 to sign up for Medicaid. To qualify for the ACA 538 00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.359 coverage enroll, these would have to prove they are lawfully present. 539 00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:55.200 And this is what Democrats are freaking out about. You know, 540 00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:00.519 there's a case to be made that we have to 541 00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:04.279 make sure that people are taken care of, but we 542 00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:08.880 also don't need to supplement or subsidize people that are 543 00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:15.000 otherwise capable of participating. More in their own care, so 544 00:29:15.759 --> 00:29:18.319 that those are the things in the Medicaid cust Now 545 00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:20.440 what would I do if I could wave the magic wind, 546 00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:22.559 if I were the federal government, I would immediately go 547 00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.000 to a Medicaid block grant program that works like this. 548 00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:28.319 The federal government, I don't even know how you've come 549 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:30.799 up with these numbers. Maybe use the last five years, 550 00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:35.519 an historical average, that kind of thing, and you say, okay, Colorado, 551 00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:39.400 you traditionally have this population, this amount of people, this 552 00:29:39.480 --> 00:29:43.599 part of your population that is utilizing Medicaid that meet 553 00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:48.359 our standards, and that's going to cost you five billion dollars. 554 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:51.440 So here's five billion dollars. You're not getting a penny more. 555 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:55.279 No incentives for states to try and jack up Medicaid 556 00:29:55.599 --> 00:29:59.319 rates or payments. They have to manage the money, and 557 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:01.880 when they run out, the taxpayers are going to have 558 00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:03.839 to pay for it. I think that will lead to 559 00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:07.079 much more fiscally sound policies here in the state of Colorado, 560 00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:12.880 for one. So that's what's in Medicaid five sixty six nine. 561 00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:15.279 OHO is the common Spirit health text line. I'd love 562 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:16.920 to hear from you. We need it to be there, 563 00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:20.680 especially for elderly people. Who need assistance and having a 564 00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:23.160 place to live. Somebody hit a text and talking about 565 00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.119 the homes. By the way, I just found out Landmark 566 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:29.079 over here in Greenwood Village, which is a lovely little theater, 567 00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:33.720 great parking, good restaurants all around. I'll be checking with 568 00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:35.480 them today because I can do a private rental there. 569 00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:37.640 So all of you who are texting, thank you for that. 570 00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:40.680 We were talking about the provision that if you own 571 00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:45.440 a home that is over a million dollars then you 572 00:30:45.480 --> 00:30:50.319 cannot qualify for medicaid, and someone said this, let me 573 00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:59.720 see here. What let me see trying to find is 574 00:30:59.759 --> 00:31:03.039 there is there a provision if you have over one 575 00:31:03.039 --> 00:31:06.000 million dollars in a stock market account when you apply 576 00:31:06.039 --> 00:31:09.440 for medicaid, they go through all your assets. If you 577 00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:11.200 have a million dollars in a stock market account, you 578 00:31:11.279 --> 00:31:15.319 cannot qualify for medicaid. It's not just income based because 579 00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:18.920 most people, elderly people, they don't have income other than 580 00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:21.440 social Security, so that doesn't really mean much. But they 581 00:31:21.440 --> 00:31:24.039 do look at your assets and before you think to yourself, 582 00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:27.319 I'm gonna sign my assets over to my kids. Most 583 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:30.039 states have a what's called a five year look back 584 00:31:30.640 --> 00:31:33.480 where they go back five years and see when exactly 585 00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.359 you transferred your stuff to your kids. So if you're 586 00:31:36.359 --> 00:31:38.720 planning on doing that, like you're gonna go ahead and 587 00:31:38.799 --> 00:31:40.559 sign a house over to your kid, you need to 588 00:31:40.559 --> 00:31:42.559 do it now and hope they don't kick you out 589 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:45.559 before you're ready. Just saying, Mandy, I'm a dentist in 590 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:48.079 Colorado's Springs and I've been taking Medicaid since I've been 591 00:31:48.119 --> 00:31:52.119 here seventeen years. I would say the book, Oh Dagnavity 592 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:54.680 just updated. Hang on, I would say the book of 593 00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:58.000 my patients are Medicaid, and it is very frustrating. The 594 00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.160 no shows, the no skin in the game. It lost 595 00:32:00.240 --> 00:32:03.160 me money to schedule them and not schedule another patient 596 00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:05.880 and they don't show up. Fees are less than normal. 597 00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:08.599 I will admit it's been frustrating to see the amount 598 00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:11.119 of it with people with Medicaid have a nicer car 599 00:32:11.240 --> 00:32:13.640 than me and have the newest phone and tell me 600 00:32:13.680 --> 00:32:16.480 about their vacations to Hawaii when I have yet to 601 00:32:16.559 --> 00:32:21.599 even be to Hawaii or go to Hawaii. So that 602 00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.240 is consistent with the conversations that I've had. And again, 603 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:26.839 these doctors and I didn't even think about dentists. I've 604 00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:30.000 never asked a dentist about it. They serve this population 605 00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:32.880 because they think it's important, right, but they still can 606 00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:39.119 be very, very frustrating. Maybe the new Medicaid policies, this 607 00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:41.920 Texter says, will put more pressure on the healthcare system 608 00:32:42.279 --> 00:32:45.200 to be more accountable of their pricing because the people 609 00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:48.119 will have a more direct line to billing. I think 610 00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:51.319 that would be good instead of easily soaking up our 611 00:32:51.440 --> 00:32:55.319 tax dollars. I'm just going to say this, and you 612 00:32:55.359 --> 00:32:58.240 know I have had good experiences here. I should say 613 00:32:58.279 --> 00:33:02.640 this my several experiences, like my vocal cord surgery, my 614 00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:05.839 other stuff. I had a very good experience here when 615 00:33:05.880 --> 00:33:09.559 it came to hospital billing. But I have had experiences 616 00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:11.920 in the past in Florida when I was selling insurance 617 00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:14.400 to older people. I would try to help these people 618 00:33:14.480 --> 00:33:17.519 sort out their billing from a hospital, and in one case, 619 00:33:18.119 --> 00:33:22.519 I spent eight hours reconciling Medicare bills to statements, to 620 00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:26.599 hospital bills to statements because this hospital was telling one 621 00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:29.720 of my clients that she owed them fourteen thousand and 622 00:33:29.759 --> 00:33:33.240 eight hundred and something dollars in change, right, And I 623 00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.480 was like, there's no way with the Medicare supplement you have, 624 00:33:35.720 --> 00:33:37.839 all of this is covered. So I spent eight hours 625 00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:40.319 going through everything, matching up every bill. It took me forever. 626 00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:43.000 Then I called the hospital billing department and I said, Hi, 627 00:33:43.319 --> 00:33:45.640 I'm here with so and so. I am working with 628 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:48.519 her to reconcile her hospital bills, and we need to 629 00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.960 make an appointment to come in and talk to someone 630 00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:53.799 about this outstanding balance that you say. She owes. The 631 00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:55.960 hospital billing lady says, well, let me pull it up. 632 00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:56.640 She pulls it up. 633 00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:58.960 She says, it seems here that we have fourteen it's 634 00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:01.720 fourteen thousand, eight hundred and something dollars in change. And 635 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:05.519 I said no. After I reconciled everything, I got to 636 00:34:05.759 --> 00:34:08.400 like four hundred and forty dollars or actually was like 637 00:34:08.440 --> 00:34:10.840 four hundred and eighty dollars, was like a tenth of 638 00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:13.960 what the actual number was. And she said, oh, that 639 00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:18.239 sounds fine. Just send that in. And you know how 640 00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:20.039 you go into something and you're ready for a fight, 641 00:34:20.559 --> 00:34:22.880 like you're you know, you're jacked up, you got the evidence, 642 00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:25.519 you spent eight hours going through all this stuff, you 643 00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:28.480 know what you're talking about. You are ready to fight somebody. 644 00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:30.519 And she's like, oh, no, that just send that a 645 00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:34.880 that'll settle it. And it was at that moment I 646 00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:38.000 was like, so hospital billing is just a racket then, 647 00:34:38.840 --> 00:34:41.920 I mean, it's just a legal racket. They are counting 648 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:46.679 on older people to be too daunted by the thought 649 00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:48.400 of doing what I did for eight hours and it 650 00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:51.199 took me forever. It was horrible, and I'm not good 651 00:34:51.239 --> 00:34:53.960 at that stuff. So it was like, you know, for me, 652 00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:55.880 maybe for somebody who's good at accounting, it would have 653 00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:57.920 been easy, breezy, but for me, it was just an 654 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:00.199 uphill battle. And this woman was just like, I can't 655 00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:04.280 do it. It was four years of breast cancer treatment bills. 656 00:35:04.639 --> 00:35:07.920 Imagine imagine what kind of paper we're we're talking about. 657 00:35:08.599 --> 00:35:11.519 And so she either just casually wrote off another ten grand, 658 00:35:12.480 --> 00:35:17.360 you know, another fourteen grand, or it's all just a racket. 659 00:35:18.159 --> 00:35:22.639 I don't know. Anyway, we're going to take a very 660 00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:24.480 quick time out. When we get back. My friend Cliff 661 00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:27.440 May joins us from the Foundation for the Defensive Democracies. 662 00:35:27.679 --> 00:35:29.960 We're going to talk a little bit about India and Pakistan, 663 00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:32.679 and we're also going to talk oh you know what 664 00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:34.480 else I didn't talk about with this medicaid stuff. I 665 00:35:34.480 --> 00:35:38.320 got to come back to that ten percent cut could 666 00:35:38.320 --> 00:35:41.000 be very devastating for Colorado because I don't know if 667 00:35:41.000 --> 00:35:44.440 you guys know this, but Democrats gave illegal immigrants access 668 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:47.679 to medicaid here in Colorado too.

We're 682 00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:39.360 going to start with the Indian Pakistan, but we got 683 00:36:39.480 --> 00:36:41.679 to talk about Trump's Mid East wing. We got to 684 00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:42.599 talk about a lot of stuff. 685 00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:47.079 Cliff, Wow, Okay, we'll try to do our best to 686 00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:48.119 beat so thinks. 687 00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:51.519 So let's talk Because I said earlier, I said, I've 688 00:36:51.519 --> 00:36:54.199 been following the Pakistan India conflict kind of out of 689 00:36:54.239 --> 00:36:56.920 the corner of my eye, right, not really paying that 690 00:36:57.119 --> 00:36:59.880 much attention, but paying attention because you have two new 691 00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:03.599 powers been at war for how long have they been 692 00:37:03.760 --> 00:37:05.559 warring over the Kashmir district. 693 00:37:06.480 --> 00:37:10.440 Since the partition of India into two states, one Hindu 694 00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:14.559 majority one Muslim majority. Pakistan was a brand new state 695 00:37:14.599 --> 00:37:16.679 after nineteen forty seven, so. 696 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:19.440 A while now they have been at war over this 697 00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:22.119 piece of real estate in the middle. And because they're 698 00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:25.280 nuclear powers, when things flare up, we got to pay attention. 699 00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:28.840 And I loved your column today is this call them 700 00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:31.320 in Today's Washington Times or yesterday's. 701 00:37:30.840 --> 00:37:34.119 Great edition the Washington Times today, and it's still and 702 00:37:34.239 --> 00:37:37.119 it's online as well under Washington Times dot com. 703 00:37:37.599 --> 00:37:39.400 You did a nice job of sort of laying out 704 00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:41.800 the background, and if you could do that here and 705 00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:44.519 kind of bring people up to speed on how we 706 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:47.599 got first of all, how India and Pakistan were divided, 707 00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:51.039 how they've been fighting over the Kashmir region, and what 708 00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:53.559 happened to kind of flare things up. 709 00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:56.559 Now, Okay, let me let me try to do that 710 00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:59.039 as succinctly as I can. Let me just make this point. 711 00:37:59.360 --> 00:38:02.119 A lot of the media. Here's where the media coverage 712 00:38:02.360 --> 00:38:07.079 has been right and wrong. Like the mainstream media has 713 00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:10.559 reported that Indian Pakistan are quarreling over Kashmir, and that's 714 00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:14.800 a territory in the northernmost region of the Indian subcontinent. 715 00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:17.639 So far, so good. They're right about that, but they 716 00:38:17.719 --> 00:38:20.320 infer from that, or they tend to that because they're 717 00:38:20.320 --> 00:38:25.039 fighting over a territory. This is a territorial dispute. That's misleading. 718 00:38:25.360 --> 00:38:28.320 They also imply a lot of them BBC, for example, 719 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:33.599 they imply a morally equivalence between Indian Pakistan. Now that's 720 00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:38.280 dead wrong. This particular flare up conflagration called which you 721 00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:42.320 will almost a full scale war, not quite, and Trump 722 00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:47.000 and Dvance and Marco Luvil they put a halt to it, 723 00:38:47.280 --> 00:38:50.679 a ceasefire, not peace, a ceasefire. This flared up in 724 00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:54.039 April twenty second when you had a group probably five 725 00:38:54.440 --> 00:38:59.159 Islamis terraces coming in from Pakistan. The Kashmir will get 726 00:38:59.159 --> 00:39:04.119 to cement. It is along a line of control going 727 00:39:04.199 --> 00:39:06.639 back to the war in nineteen forty seven forty eight 728 00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:10.480 over this territory so they come across into the part 729 00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:16.079 of Kashmir that the Indians administer claim as their own citizens. 730 00:39:16.960 --> 00:39:22.239 They then try to begin to identify the people they meet. 731 00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.199 A lot of them are tourists. Kashmir is a beautiful place, 732 00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.360 and tourists from indiacome newlywed to come on their honeymoon. 733 00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:31.679 All that wud they identify them? Are you Muslim or 734 00:39:31.800 --> 00:39:34.960 are you Hindu? And if they figure they're Hindu, and 735 00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:37.039 I'll tell you in a second how they figure that out, 736 00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:40.679 then they kill them, including killing men in front of 737 00:39:40.719 --> 00:39:44.280 their new brides right there. They kill them. How do 738 00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.000 they know, Well, they may ask them recite the follow 739 00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:49.440 you know, some verses from the Quran. If they can't 740 00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:51.760 do it, you're a Hindu. The the way they may 741 00:39:51.880 --> 00:39:54.159 do it is say, and they didn't see this report 742 00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:56.119 in a lot of places, but I'm telling you it's true, 743 00:39:56.800 --> 00:40:00.880 pull down your pants because Hindus are not certain and 744 00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:03.880 Muslims are. And so if you're not circumcised, we kill you. 745 00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:07.559 So that's what's going on. Okay, that's what they did. 746 00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:11.239 Now the final death, by the way, the final there 747 00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:15.400 was a Christian and a local Muslim who attempted to 748 00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:18.679 protect some of these Indian civilians. We're talking about civilians 749 00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:21.920 who are murdered. The final death toll is twenty six. 750 00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:27.280 Now what happens. The Indians in response, conducted precision air 751 00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:31.360 and missile strikes against I believe it was nine terrorists 752 00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:37.119 infrastructure sites in Pakistan and the Pakistani administered half of 753 00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:41.679 Kashmir had Pakistan to those strikes are an active war. 754 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:46.840 Now you have after that cross border artillery and drone exchanges. 755 00:40:47.599 --> 00:40:51.320 Pakistan claims that it down several Indian fighter jets. Not 756 00:40:51.440 --> 00:40:53.559 quite clear that sue. I think it's probably true at 757 00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:57.119 least two. India then reduced the flow of water going 758 00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:01.039 to Pakistan. There's a treaty about water saying you know, 759 00:41:01.159 --> 00:41:03.599 you know, you get there. No more water coming, not 760 00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:07.599 for drinking, not for agriculture. You're not getting anymore. And 761 00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:12.800 again escalation became possible. And that's when Marco Rubio advance 762 00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:16.119 on orders from Trump, began making a million phone calls 763 00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:21.159 and they managed to get a cessation of hostilities. The 764 00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:24.519 real roots of this conflict go back to after World 765 00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:26.840 War II, when the sun was setting on the British Empire. 766 00:41:28.079 --> 00:41:30.800 Britain was pulling out of India. Britain was pulling out 767 00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:35.159 of Palestine at the same Around the same time when 768 00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:38.239 the British are pulling out of India, the leader of 769 00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:40.800 the Muslims there a guy the name of Muhammad Ali 770 00:41:40.880 --> 00:41:44.559 Jinnah who is head of something called the Old India 771 00:41:44.639 --> 00:41:48.599 Muslim League. He says, well, we Muslims in this country. 772 00:41:48.719 --> 00:41:52.400 We can't live in a Hindu dominated, Hindu majority. We 773 00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.440 want our own country. So the next thing that happens 774 00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:59.599 is there's an Indian Independence Act with the partition. Again 775 00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:03.000 like the U and did to do a partition of Palestine, 776 00:42:03.400 --> 00:42:07.119 they did a partition and then you had millions, millions 777 00:42:07.280 --> 00:42:12.480 of Hindus moving out of the two major Muslim areas 778 00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:17.199 that were earmarked to become Pakistan, one of the Far 779 00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:20.079 East one of the Far West. You had the Muslims 780 00:42:20.480 --> 00:42:24.039 moving out of India to go to the new country 781 00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:28.000 of Pakistan Stan. This was not a peaceful exchange. It 782 00:42:28.239 --> 00:42:32.000 was one of the biggest and bloodiest population transfers in 783 00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:36.639 all of history. Roughly fifteen million people if you can 784 00:42:36.719 --> 00:42:39.880 imagine that, across these new borders. About as many as 785 00:42:39.960 --> 00:42:45.599 two million were killed in clashes between Muslims and Hindus 786 00:42:45.880 --> 00:42:49.280 and Muslims and Sikhs. Now. It's interesting, even after that, 787 00:42:50.320 --> 00:42:54.679 about twenty five percent of Pakistan's population was still Hindu 788 00:42:55.679 --> 00:42:58.480 and about ten percent of India's population at that point 789 00:42:58.639 --> 00:43:01.639 was still Muslim. What's happened over the years since, well, 790 00:43:01.679 --> 00:43:04.599 the Muslim population of India has grown. It's now the 791 00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:08.880 fourteen percent of India's population Muslim. By contrast, the non 792 00:43:09.000 --> 00:43:13.920 Muslim population of Pakistan less than four percent. And that's 793 00:43:14.039 --> 00:43:19.400 because over the years, Islamists in Pakistan have implemented policies 794 00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:24.159 that caused Hindus and Sikhs and Christians and others, and 795 00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:27.280 a lot of very i would say moderate Muslims to 796 00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:30.559 leave the country, to get out, to emigrate. It's much 797 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:34.679 less diverse country now than it was. By the way, 798 00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:38.159 I just mentioned, I talked to you about Muhammad Ali Jina. 799 00:43:38.239 --> 00:43:43.000 He was Gritish educated, very well dressed, favored pluralism, tolerance. 800 00:43:43.039 --> 00:43:44.800 But he died in forty eight and eight years later 801 00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:49.239 Pakistan declared itself in Islamic Republic. And it's been and 802 00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:52.840 that's the way it's gone since then. So I'll stop there. 803 00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:55.000 Permitted for this, a lot of things we can talk. 804 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:59.320 About I wouldn't ask militarily because obviously India is far 805 00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:02.000 more popular and more developed. I mean, India has got 806 00:44:02.000 --> 00:44:05.320 a lot more going on for it than Pakistan does. Militarily, 807 00:44:05.480 --> 00:44:08.920 how do they stack up? And who is Pakistan as 808 00:44:08.920 --> 00:44:12.400 an Islamist nation allied with that could possibly provide them 809 00:44:12.519 --> 00:44:14.159 weapons for a war with India. 810 00:44:14.840 --> 00:44:19.039 Okay, so militarily India is stronger than no question. But 811 00:44:19.239 --> 00:44:22.320 having nuclear weapons a nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are the 812 00:44:22.360 --> 00:44:25.320 great equalizer, aren't they. You know, that's one of the 813 00:44:25.360 --> 00:44:29.079 reasons Iran, the Islamic Republic of Iran, wants nuclear weapons 814 00:44:30.480 --> 00:44:35.320 because that means they could wipe out a whole city 815 00:44:35.440 --> 00:44:37.960 with one bomb if it gets through. Both countries do 816 00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:41.199 have nuclear weapons, but if they were not for the 817 00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:43.719 nuclear weapons, no question that India is the bigger and 818 00:44:43.800 --> 00:44:50.320 stronger country. Look, Pakistan is very close to China, and 819 00:44:51.159 --> 00:44:54.320 India has been close to Russia still is, though closer 820 00:44:54.360 --> 00:44:57.880 and closer to the US. It's relations. It's close relations 821 00:44:57.920 --> 00:45:01.440 with Russia are somewhat I would say, of an impediment 822 00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:05.159 to its evolving relations with the US, but not entirely. 823 00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.920 Don't forget this is the most populous democracy on the planet. 824 00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:11.320 But you know they were if you go back to years, 825 00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:13.679 they were part of the non Aligned movement, which wasn't 826 00:45:13.719 --> 00:45:16.519 really not aligned. It was closer to the Soviet Union. 827 00:45:16.719 --> 00:45:18.840 They have their their weaponry, they have a lot of 828 00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:22.679 Russian weaponry, uh in their arsenal, and they're still getting 829 00:45:22.679 --> 00:45:25.239 spare parts. They're getting closer to the US but not 830 00:45:25.960 --> 00:45:29.400 but again they still there. They still have this and 831 00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:32.920 they're in things like bricks that you know what that is, Yeah, 832 00:45:33.159 --> 00:45:38.039 you know, an organization trade agreement. But they're all kind 833 00:45:38.039 --> 00:45:41.000 of anti American, and you know, includes Russian incluse, China, 834 00:45:41.119 --> 00:45:44.960 includes Iran. They're all kind of anti American. What Indian 835 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:47.360 to tell you is, look, we're your friends within bricks. Okay, 836 00:45:48.119 --> 00:45:49.840 it's good to have us there. We keep an eye 837 00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:51.960 on things, We tell you what's going on. We keep 838 00:45:52.039 --> 00:45:54.280 it from going off the deep end. So it's not 839 00:45:54.440 --> 00:45:59.079 such a problem. But that anyhow, But America, do you think. 840 00:45:58.960 --> 00:46:04.119 That India being cozy in bricks and being cozy with Russia. 841 00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.320 I don't think that dissuades Donald Trump. I think and 842 00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:09.559 I want to shift gears just a little bit here 843 00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:12.000 because it's sort of connected and yet not he's in 844 00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:14.519 the Middle East. Right now, he stopped in Saudi Arabia. 845 00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:18.880 He's going to UAE, He's going to Cutter. These people 846 00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.559 are people, especially Saudi Arabia. We know nineteen hijackers came 847 00:46:22.599 --> 00:46:25.360 from Saudi Arabian's flu plains into our buildings. We know 848 00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:28.719 that Cutter has funded terror against Americans over and over, 849 00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:32.039 but we also realize that in the Middle East, the 850 00:46:32.199 --> 00:46:35.039 enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Saudi Arabia 851 00:46:35.119 --> 00:46:38.159 certainly needs our help with Iran. And I think Donald 852 00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:43.239 Trump used Cutter as an opportunity to insert, or rather 853 00:46:43.519 --> 00:46:47.159 maybe put some space between Cutter and Iran, and a 854 00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:50.800 little less space between the US and Cutter if they 855 00:46:50.880 --> 00:46:54.440 give Cutter legitimacy. The reason I talk about that is 856 00:46:54.519 --> 00:46:57.480 because isn't the same couldn't the same thing exist with 857 00:46:57.599 --> 00:46:59.559 India in Donald Trump's size. 858 00:47:00.480 --> 00:47:03.480 Yeah, I don't entirely agree with your analysis there, and 859 00:47:03.480 --> 00:47:06.400 I'll tell you why in a second. But we are 860 00:47:06.440 --> 00:47:13.000 getting closer to India. Modi has had good relations with Trump. 861 00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:15.360 There's a lot of good reasons for us to be 862 00:47:16.119 --> 00:47:19.039 for India to become our ally and to pull them away. 863 00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:22.679 And I think that is possible from Russia, especially at 864 00:47:22.679 --> 00:47:27.039 a time when Russia has a no limits partnership with 865 00:47:27.239 --> 00:47:31.159 communist China, and Communist China is an enemy of India. 866 00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:36.320 They have also fought, they have border disoots that China 867 00:47:36.360 --> 00:47:40.199 and India are are not friends. What role China may 868 00:47:40.239 --> 00:47:43.400 have had in terms of becoming Pakistan. This is a 869 00:47:43.440 --> 00:47:46.199 good time maybe for some terrorists to come in and 870 00:47:46.960 --> 00:47:50.000 knew this for various reasons. Who knows. I know there 871 00:47:50.000 --> 00:47:53.119 are theories of rumors out there about that. What I 872 00:47:53.159 --> 00:47:57.559 would tell you about Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia was very 873 00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:02.360 bad after the nineteen seventy nine revolution in Iran. Why 874 00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:05.599 because Iran, the revolution in Iran wisinness Islamic Revolution was 875 00:48:05.639 --> 00:48:09.719 the first nation state committed to jihad against the West, 876 00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:13.599 and they felt, we have to show that we're committed 877 00:48:13.639 --> 00:48:19.199 to Jihat two and so they began to finance madrasas 878 00:48:19.280 --> 00:48:21.800 in Pakistan and I do a lot of bad things. 879 00:48:22.119 --> 00:48:24.519 Eventually Al Kada came back and bit them. I am 880 00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:28.760 convinced that so the Saudis at this point wants stability 881 00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:31.519 in the region. They want to develop their country in 882 00:48:31.599 --> 00:48:34.519 a very different way. Certainly, I'm talking about the Crown 883 00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:37.320 Prince effects to the king of fifty years from now. 884 00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:40.880 And he wants to transform Saudi Arabia that is producing 885 00:48:41.039 --> 00:48:43.719 much more than just oil and gas, right. He wants 886 00:48:43.760 --> 00:48:49.199 a country that is in the forefront, intellectually, academically, indust 887 00:48:49.360 --> 00:48:51.559 all kinds of ways. Can't have that. And he knows 888 00:48:51.639 --> 00:48:54.840 that the Islamic Republic of Iran is an enemy. Qatar 889 00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:58.000 is a whole different kettle of fish. There's a piece 890 00:48:58.039 --> 00:49:01.400 out today in the Free Press by journalist named Jay Solomon, 891 00:49:01.480 --> 00:49:05.760 recommend you cut our plays both ends against the Middle arm. 892 00:49:06.280 --> 00:49:09.119 Wait, clist, I got to tell you, I, for the 893 00:49:09.199 --> 00:49:11.280 last forty eight hours have gone down this rabbit hole 894 00:49:11.440 --> 00:49:14.440 right about Cutter. This is and I but here's here's 895 00:49:14.480 --> 00:49:16.119 my problem. And we're going to get into this because 896 00:49:16.159 --> 00:49:18.320 the Free Press article is a perfect jumping off point 897 00:49:18.519 --> 00:49:22.199 and it's on today's blog. My issue is that there 898 00:49:22.280 --> 00:49:26.119 are a lot of very important people in the United 899 00:49:26.159 --> 00:49:28.360 States of America who have been on the payroll of Cutter. 900 00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:32.840 They've spent three hundred billion dollars buying good pr in 901 00:49:32.920 --> 00:49:35.800 the United States of America. Now I can't figure out 902 00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:37.639 where I'm going to get good intel. But at the 903 00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:41.519 same time, they've also over the last ten years especially 904 00:49:42.039 --> 00:49:46.519 passed some reforms internally in Cutter that are encouraging that 905 00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:49.119 that indicate to me that they do want to join 906 00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:51.920 the modern world and treat people with a little modicum 907 00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:54.559 of respect, at least on the on the letter of 908 00:49:54.639 --> 00:49:57.559 the law. So you say they're playing both sides against 909 00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:00.159 the middle to what advantage? Tell me, Tell tell me 910 00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:02.800 what Cutters long game is in your. 911 00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:06.679 View, Cutter, I'm afraidy to tell you, is a Muslim 912 00:50:06.840 --> 00:50:13.880 brotherhood state. Cut They they dressed you know better, but 913 00:50:14.039 --> 00:50:17.639 they support must They have supported Al Keeda, They have 914 00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:23.000 been cozy with Iran whenever necessary. But they also buy influence. 915 00:50:23.079 --> 00:50:26.760 Their influence effort is in the US is unbelievable. There's 916 00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:30.199 a reason more than one, but there's among the main 917 00:50:30.360 --> 00:50:34.679 reasons why almost every middle he studies department at every 918 00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:40.480 major university in America is his pro Islamist at this 919 00:50:40.599 --> 00:50:44.400 point and viciously anti Israeli. And it goes back to 920 00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:49.639 Cutter buying up these departments. Al Jazeera is very anti American. 921 00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:53.480 That's an Arabic news service owned and operated by cut 922 00:50:53.599 --> 00:50:55.320 I understand you know how many you know how many 923 00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:56.679 cut Turry citizens there are. 924 00:50:57.119 --> 00:50:58.440 Isn't there like three hundred thousand. 925 00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.840 They're not very big three hundred thousand. There's about two 926 00:51:01.840 --> 00:51:04.800 million people in the peninsula. They're all servants. They'll never 927 00:51:04.840 --> 00:51:08.360 get miss citizenship. They can't. They're there to they're there serve. 928 00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:10.719 And yet it has something like twelve percent of the 929 00:51:10.840 --> 00:51:13.719 energy resources in the world. They are so rich they 930 00:51:13.840 --> 00:51:17.159 have they don't know what they don't. Money means nothing 931 00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:21.440 to them. And Biden made them a major non NATO ally, 932 00:51:21.800 --> 00:51:23.960 and they said, and they said, and the fact, oh, 933 00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:28.000 it's great that we have Hamas officials here as billionaires, 934 00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:32.760 either from donor money the aid money getting skimmed, or 935 00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:35.840 maybe directly from the Qataris, because then we can negotiate 936 00:51:35.920 --> 00:51:38.519 them think how well they need right away after nine 937 00:51:38.559 --> 00:51:40.519 ten seven. First of all, they shouldn't have been at 938 00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:43.559 ten seven, because the Qataris should have known what was 939 00:51:43.599 --> 00:51:47.039 going on, since they had high level officials of Hamas 940 00:51:47.320 --> 00:51:50.719 in their hotels, very rich guys, billionaires. They should they 941 00:51:50.719 --> 00:51:53.920 should have said, you're not doing something like this, because 942 00:51:54.000 --> 00:51:57.400 that's that's not good. Our American out after it happened, 943 00:51:57.599 --> 00:52:00.360 it should have been at the American president that point. 944 00:52:00.360 --> 00:52:02.880 It says all right, this is what we pay you, 945 00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:05.679 this is this is who you are. We said, you're 946 00:52:05.679 --> 00:52:08.519 a non NATO ally. At least get every American out, 947 00:52:08.599 --> 00:52:10.519 and I mean today. And here's how you do it. 948 00:52:10.760 --> 00:52:13.639 You tell the you tell the Hamas officials who are 949 00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:17.039 in your hotels that they either make this call, make 950 00:52:17.119 --> 00:52:20.800 this order that the hostages leave, or they leave the 951 00:52:20.920 --> 00:52:24.239 hotels and they leave the hotels and handcuffs and they 952 00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:26.480 go either into one of our prisons or get extradited 953 00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:29.280 to the United States. None of that happened. Now we 954 00:52:29.360 --> 00:52:32.239 finally got the lab the last living American out. Okay, 955 00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:35.239 that's great, that's really good. But that's but look, but 956 00:52:35.639 --> 00:52:38.880 really what has cuts are done. They have campuses that 957 00:52:38.960 --> 00:52:44.599 they pay for for many universities, and again they're indoctrinating, indoctrinating, indoctrinating. 958 00:52:45.639 --> 00:52:49.800 They have law firms, they have pr firms. They there's 959 00:52:49.840 --> 00:52:54.199 a big counter gate in Europe where they've bribed government officials. 960 00:52:54.840 --> 00:52:59.440 It's again, I think Jay Solomon is spot on in 961 00:52:59.559 --> 00:53:04.480 his colum today about the unbelievable historic influence operation that 962 00:53:04.599 --> 00:53:11.159 Culter has. And again, their aims are Muslim brotherhood aims, 963 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:12.760 and that's frightening. 964 00:53:12.800 --> 00:53:14.480 And I just want to read some of the column 965 00:53:14.519 --> 00:53:16.320 that he's talking about in the Free Press today, and 966 00:53:16.360 --> 00:53:18.800 the headline of the column is how Cutter bought America, 967 00:53:19.440 --> 00:53:21.400 And I just want to read some of the connections 968 00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:25.079 in the Trump administration with Cutter. The airplane deal was 969 00:53:25.119 --> 00:53:27.760 signed off by Attorney General Pam Bondi. She used to 970 00:53:27.800 --> 00:53:30.679 work at a Washington, DC lobbying firm that received one 971 00:53:30.760 --> 00:53:33.880 hundred and fifteen thousand dollars a month from Cutter to 972 00:53:34.000 --> 00:53:37.639 fight human trafficking. She's not the only one. President Trump's 973 00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:41.400 chief of Staff, Susie wilds led lobbying firm Mercury Public 974 00:53:41.440 --> 00:53:46.000 Affairs when it represented Cutter's embassy in Washington. FBI director 975 00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:48.960 Cash Battel worked as a consultant for Cutter, though he 976 00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:52.239 didn't register as a foreign agent. Then there is Steve Whitkoff, 977 00:53:52.480 --> 00:53:56.000 President Trump's longtime friend and senior advisor, who's accompanying him 978 00:53:56.079 --> 00:53:58.519 on the trip this week. For months now, he has 979 00:53:58.559 --> 00:54:01.239 served as Trump's Special Envoy to the Middle East, and 980 00:54:01.559 --> 00:54:04.039 he happens to be a beneficiary of Cutter's largest In 981 00:54:04.159 --> 00:54:07.719 twenty twenty three, Cutter's sovereign wealth fund bought out his 982 00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:11.719 Faltering investment in New York's Park Lane Hotel for six 983 00:54:11.880 --> 00:54:16.000 hundred and twenty three million dollars. The Trump organization is 984 00:54:16.039 --> 00:54:18.960 putting a luxury golf resort near Doha, and next week, 985 00:54:19.039 --> 00:54:22.000 Donald Trump Junior will speak at the invitation only Cutter 986 00:54:22.400 --> 00:54:26.920 Economic Forum in a session entitled investing in America. I mean, 987 00:54:27.639 --> 00:54:30.679 if this were the Biden administration, Republicans would be losing 988 00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:31.199 their minds. 989 00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:36.639 Well, that's right, there were, but again, the Biden administration 990 00:54:36.920 --> 00:54:39.880 had no didn't say hey, we got a problem here 991 00:54:39.960 --> 00:54:42.320 on the contract. Two things Biden did when he got 992 00:54:42.360 --> 00:54:45.840 into office is one, he designated Kuttar as a major 993 00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:50.079 non NATO ally. That is huge and that allows anybody 994 00:54:50.079 --> 00:54:51.840 you just on that list to say, wait a minute, 995 00:54:52.039 --> 00:54:55.119 this is an American ally. They want my help. That 996 00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:58.039 on my council, my advice. Why wouldn't I give it 997 00:54:58.119 --> 00:55:00.440 to a major ally? How is that a problem? 998 00:55:01.400 --> 00:55:01.559 You know? 999 00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:03.960 Biden also said the who these we're not We're taking 1000 00:55:04.000 --> 00:55:06.199 them off the terrorists list. I don't think they're terrorists 1001 00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:08.360 after all. And that was a big gift to Iran. 1002 00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:11.440 Try to get them back into you know that the 1003 00:55:11.800 --> 00:55:19.840 Obama's Iran deal. But you know, there's no question in 1004 00:55:19.960 --> 00:55:23.239 my mind that when Kutchar does these things, they want 1005 00:55:23.320 --> 00:55:25.719 something in return. They think they're going to get something 1006 00:55:25.840 --> 00:55:28.559 in return. And I can see how that Again, I 1007 00:55:28.599 --> 00:55:31.639 can understand how people say, all they're doing is they're 1008 00:55:31.679 --> 00:55:34.159 paying me for my advice. I'm very smart, I know 1009 00:55:34.280 --> 00:55:37.360 how government works. Why should there be a problem. They're 1010 00:55:37.400 --> 00:55:40.800 not an adversary. But this is, this is, this is 1011 00:55:40.960 --> 00:55:45.559 a very strategic attempt at what is sometimes called state capture. 1012 00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:48.519 You just you know, you just buy every every pr 1013 00:55:48.639 --> 00:55:53.559 frot and they and I've met with Katari diplomats, they're 1014 00:55:53.880 --> 00:55:57.039 very slick, they're very smart. They say, hey, you know, 1015 00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:00.199 yes we have hamas, but you know the Americans this 1016 00:56:00.360 --> 00:56:02.719 they wanted us to do that. They need somebody, you know, 1017 00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:05.239 to act as a mediator. It's a way we set 1018 00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:08.840 up a channel of communication and we're doing our best. Honestly, 1019 00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:11.119 we are what we you know, really, what do you 1020 00:56:11.159 --> 00:56:14.840 want us to do? But I think it's I think 1021 00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:18.840 it's it's it's very shrewd, it's very clever. Uh. They've 1022 00:56:18.880 --> 00:56:22.880 all you know, they have done. They know they've bribed 1023 00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:28.920 to get sports events in Katar and huge bribes. We 1024 00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:32.639 know that the people who work on a broad or 1025 00:56:32.719 --> 00:56:39.119 off and very badly mistreated. Al Jazeera doesn't report on that. Yeah, 1026 00:56:40.159 --> 00:56:42.599 al Jazeera has been bad from the beginning, but plenty 1027 00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:45.719 of plenty of American journalists went to work for Al Jazeera. 1028 00:56:46.199 --> 00:56:50.480 Maybe made you remember Dave Marrish did years ago, a 1029 00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:52.639 very well known New York journalist, and then eventually he 1030 00:56:52.719 --> 00:56:55.199 quitit and he said, no, I kind of I thought 1031 00:56:55.199 --> 00:56:57.079 it was a good gig, and then I kind of 1032 00:56:57.159 --> 00:56:59.039 understood who they were and what they were really doing. 1033 00:56:59.239 --> 00:57:04.159 There you go journalists from Ala Rabia who I remember 1034 00:57:04.239 --> 00:57:05.960 talking to one and saying, who said, he used to 1035 00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:08.119 work for Al Jazeera And I said, what's the difference. 1036 00:57:08.159 --> 00:57:12.440 He said, well, Al Rabir Arabia I can be reasonably 1037 00:57:12.679 --> 00:57:17.039 free journalists, not entirely, but reasonably Al Jazeera no, no way, 1038 00:57:17.320 --> 00:57:20.480 And Al Jazeera's had influence on the BBC and vice versa. 1039 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:23.400 It's I mean, we've got to be able to see 1040 00:57:23.440 --> 00:57:25.880 what's under our nose here. Even but again I give 1041 00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:29.719 them credit. They are very very clever about what they're doing, 1042 00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:32.840 and they have and money is no object because when 1043 00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:35.280 you got that kind of hundreds of billions of dollars 1044 00:57:35.320 --> 00:57:38.760 in just three hundred and fifty thousand citizens. It on. 1045 00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:42.840 You can do what you want to do, clib The Saudis, 1046 00:57:42.920 --> 00:57:46.280 the Saudis are. The Saudis are really down on Katari's 1047 00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:51.400 and the Saudis have have criminalized the Muslim brotherhood, as 1048 00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:54.880 have the Amuradis. They will tell you the Qataris are 1049 00:57:54.920 --> 00:57:55.880 the Muslim brotherhood. 1050 00:57:56.039 --> 00:57:58.159 Oh, Cliff May, you didn't make me feel better at all. 1051 00:57:58.320 --> 00:58:03.280 I mean, come on read cliffs column. It is an 1052 00:58:03.360 --> 00:58:05.400 Indian Pakistan I put it linked to on the blog today, 1053 00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:07.599 as well as the story we were just talking about 1054 00:58:07.599 --> 00:58:09.440 from the Free Press. Cliff A joy to talk to you. 1055 00:58:09.519 --> 00:58:12.280 We'll talk again soon, all right, I have a good one. 1056 00:58:12.639 --> 00:58:14.199 We'll be right back. We had a text or say 1057 00:58:14.199 --> 00:58:18.199 it's guitar now. I'm just I don't care. So there's 1058 00:58:18.239 --> 00:58:23.400 a website called memory dot org mri i dot org 1059 00:58:23.559 --> 00:58:27.840 and it is an English language website that tells you 1060 00:58:28.000 --> 00:58:31.599 what is happening in Arab media and right on the 1061 00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:33.800 front page. If you just heard my interview with Cliffmay, 1062 00:58:34.679 --> 00:58:37.119 I'm asking like, what's the truth about cutter? I don't know, 1063 00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:44.880 And listen to this. Listen to this. Uh, the Qatari 1064 00:58:45.159 --> 00:58:51.039 media has recently published articles and cartoons insulting US President 1065 00:58:51.079 --> 00:58:54.199 Donald Trump, and the Katari owned Al Jazeera network in 1066 00:58:54.320 --> 00:58:57.960 Arabic continues to serve as a mouthpiece for anti Trump 1067 00:58:58.079 --> 00:59:04.639 terrorist Islamis and arrange below our examples. The Katari government 1068 00:59:04.719 --> 00:59:08.039 daily Al Shark recently published on March twenty fifth, two 1069 00:59:08.280 --> 00:59:13.880 articles harshly castigate US President Donald Trump appeared in the paper, 1070 00:59:14.920 --> 00:59:18.480 describing Trump as a hostage to the Israeli positions. He 1071 00:59:18.639 --> 00:59:21.480 claims that the American president has put on a Jewish 1072 00:59:21.559 --> 00:59:24.239 skull cap which sits on top of his yellow hair, 1073 00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:27.519 and has started to behave like Theodore Hertzel, the founder 1074 00:59:27.559 --> 00:59:30.599 of the Zionist movement. He mocks Trump's efforts to present 1075 00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:33.639 himself as a superhero and leader capable of bringing change, 1076 00:59:34.000 --> 00:59:38.000 when he is nothing of the sort. He then compared 1077 00:59:38.639 --> 00:59:45.400 hamas terrorists to John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and 1078 00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:49.320 George Washington. He then called Trump a terrorists for threatening 1079 00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:51.880 to annex Canada and take control of the Panama Canal. 1080 00:59:52.599 --> 00:59:56.760 And this is regular from him, and they put the 1081 00:59:56.840 --> 00:59:58.840 columns so you can read it yourself. They have anti 1082 00:59:58.920 --> 01:00:03.519 Trump cartoons showing Trump as a big fat baby. 1083 01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:06.079 Yeah. 1084 01:00:06.840 --> 01:00:12.280 The most recent example of Al Jazeera in Arabic, Hotsi 1085 01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:16.320 spokesman nas Rudin ammer President Trump is a criminal, a liar. 1086 01:00:16.800 --> 01:00:18.599 He was the one who suggested to cease fire. The 1087 01:00:18.679 --> 01:00:22.519 Americans abandoned Israel, but we won't abandon the Palestinians. We 1088 01:00:22.559 --> 01:00:27.119 will continue blocking Israeli ships and imposing an aerial siege. Now, 1089 01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:31.519 one has to believe that people in the Trump administration 1090 01:00:31.800 --> 01:00:36.960 are also reading this website. And here's the thing. I 1091 01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:40.599 don't necessarily think that Trump loves to be. He loves 1092 01:00:40.679 --> 01:00:44.239 to be you know, fitted, as they say, He loves 1093 01:00:44.280 --> 01:00:47.079 to be having you know, adoration showered upon him, formal 1094 01:00:47.159 --> 01:00:50.199 state dinners and all that good stuff. But whether or 1095 01:00:50.239 --> 01:00:55.039 not he really believes that these people are you know, 1096 01:00:55.159 --> 01:00:58.599 willing to talk about peace, or he understands who he's 1097 01:00:58.639 --> 01:01:02.480 dealing with, That's the only question I care about. And 1098 01:01:02.599 --> 01:01:05.280 I'm inclined to believe that even though he loves having 1099 01:01:05.320 --> 01:01:08.639 his ego stroked, he is not stupid. I do not 1100 01:01:08.719 --> 01:01:12.440 believe President Trump is stupid, and I do not believe 1101 01:01:13.119 --> 01:01:16.079 that he likes having his ego stroke so much that 1102 01:01:16.159 --> 01:01:19.079 he loses sort of the bigger picture here about who 1103 01:01:19.159 --> 01:01:22.960 we are allied with and treats them thusly. Okay, I 1104 01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:24.559 want to move on because I didn't want to stay 1105 01:01:24.599 --> 01:01:25.840 with that. But I just looked that up and thought, 1106 01:01:25.880 --> 01:01:28.760 oh that's great. So Cliff was right, So yeah, okay, awesome. 1107 01:01:30.840 --> 01:01:33.239 Arod sent me a video maybe two weeks ago, and 1108 01:01:33.320 --> 01:01:35.239 it was a young woman and she was like, I 1109 01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:38.519 am never using Uber again because they said they were 1110 01:01:38.519 --> 01:01:40.719 going to pull out of Colorado if this bill pass. 1111 01:01:40.960 --> 01:01:43.960 It's all about safety, and they hate safety. I'm just 1112 01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:47.719 going to be true to Lyft. And I published the 1113 01:01:48.320 --> 01:01:52.199 video and in my little caption, I said, oh, oh, precious. 1114 01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:55.079 If you think Lyft is going to keep operating in 1115 01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:58.880 Colorado when Uber says we're out, you've lost your mind. 1116 01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:02.079 There is a new bill that has been passed. It 1117 01:02:02.199 --> 01:02:07.280 is awaiting the governor's signature, and it requires things of 1118 01:02:07.400 --> 01:02:09.840 Uber and Lyft, some of which are really great ideas, 1119 01:02:10.360 --> 01:02:13.559 really great ideas, things we can get behind. But some 1120 01:02:13.719 --> 01:02:18.239 of them are very, very unwieldy and very very expensive, 1121 01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:22.559 things like having twenty four to seven camera and then 1122 01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:26.800 storing that data endlessly. It's not so much about recording, 1123 01:02:26.800 --> 01:02:28.119 and it's what do you do with it. When you've 1124 01:02:28.159 --> 01:02:32.920 recorded it, where do you put it? So Uber has 1125 01:02:33.039 --> 01:02:35.280 been very vocal about the fact that if this passes 1126 01:02:35.320 --> 01:02:37.440 in Colorado, they're just going to leave the market. And 1127 01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:40.119 everybody's like, Oh, they're just kidding. Why would they do that, 1128 01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:44.920 that's terrible. They're not They've done it before. Austin, Texas 1129 01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:49.159 passed some legislation about Uber that they thought was going 1130 01:02:49.199 --> 01:02:52.320 to help people get paid more by the card sharing services. 1131 01:02:54.119 --> 01:02:56.599 They passed bill and Uber kept saying, yeah, we're we're 1132 01:02:56.639 --> 01:02:58.400 not going to do that. We're we're not going to 1133 01:02:58.440 --> 01:03:00.719 do that at all. We're not going to do that 1134 01:03:00.840 --> 01:03:04.880 at all. And Austin did it anyway. And so what 1135 01:03:05.039 --> 01:03:11.119 happened Uber and Lyft left They left Austin Texas. What 1136 01:03:11.400 --> 01:03:14.599 happened after Uber and Left left Texas Because I've actually 1137 01:03:14.639 --> 01:03:18.119 heard people say this will allow other ride sharing platforms 1138 01:03:18.199 --> 01:03:22.440 to flourish in Colorado if Uber and left leave, Well, 1139 01:03:22.519 --> 01:03:27.239 let me tell you what happened with Austin Texas. They 1140 01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:30.440 pulled out of Austin, Texas, and there were multiple apps 1141 01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:33.400 that immediately popped up. They were springing up everywhere, except 1142 01:03:34.519 --> 01:03:36.639 they weren't working right. They kept crashing. 1143 01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:39.760 They were very very. 1144 01:03:39.760 --> 01:03:43.159 Understaffed, so people couldn't get a car. And then south 1145 01:03:43.239 --> 01:03:49.719 By Southwest came and OMG south By Southwest where celebrities 1146 01:03:49.840 --> 01:03:53.400 and musicians flood the city of Austin, Texas and they're 1147 01:03:53.400 --> 01:03:55.280 not going to rent a car because they don't rent cars, 1148 01:03:55.360 --> 01:03:58.960 that's not what they do. They flew into south By Southwest, 1149 01:03:59.000 --> 01:04:02.599 all of these new apps all collectively crashed. No one 1150 01:04:02.719 --> 01:04:06.119 could get a ride. There was no no rides to 1151 01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:10.159 be had, and the legislature was like, yeah, we're not 1152 01:04:10.239 --> 01:04:12.119 gonna let you do that to ride share anymore. We're 1153 01:04:12.119 --> 01:04:15.239 gonna we're gonna pass our own regulations that you surp yours. 1154 01:04:16.159 --> 01:04:20.079 And Uber and Lyft came back, you know. So the 1155 01:04:20.159 --> 01:04:22.199 notion that somebody is just gonna step into this void 1156 01:04:22.280 --> 01:04:24.119 and it's gonna be seamless and we're not even gonna 1157 01:04:24.119 --> 01:04:27.480 and that's just dumb. And the notion that Uber and 1158 01:04:27.519 --> 01:04:29.679 Lyft will not just say sorry, we're turning off the 1159 01:04:29.719 --> 01:04:33.679 app in Colorado is also crazy because look at it 1160 01:04:33.719 --> 01:04:36.920 from their perspective. If they roll over and let the 1161 01:04:36.960 --> 01:04:40.280 state of Colorado put requirements that they feel are so 1162 01:04:40.960 --> 01:04:44.239 onerous and expensive on them in Colorado and they take it. 1163 01:04:45.320 --> 01:04:47.840 That just opens up forty nine other states to do 1164 01:04:47.960 --> 01:04:52.800 the exact same thing. The only option Uber and Lyft 1165 01:04:52.880 --> 01:04:54.599 have are to pull out of the market and just 1166 01:04:54.679 --> 01:04:58.039 let it collapse. Can you imagine how vibrant Denver would be? 1167 01:04:58.119 --> 01:04:58.280 Then? 1168 01:05:00.199 --> 01:05:02.280 Guys on those little bike pedal things would probably make 1169 01:05:02.320 --> 01:05:04.880 a fortune. They can get you at least one or 1170 01:05:04.920 --> 01:05:09.039 two blocks closer to where you needed to be. Uh, Mandy, 1171 01:05:09.079 --> 01:05:11.039 I wonder what they thought of Trump as the pope 1172 01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:17.960 in Cotter. I don't know. I have no idea, Mandy. 1173 01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:19.599 I was a little shocked that you were shocked about 1174 01:05:19.599 --> 01:05:21.880 the jet graft. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you're 1175 01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:23.840 upset about it. I just wish you would get irritated 1176 01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:25.800 about all his other scams he's currently running from the 1177 01:05:25.800 --> 01:05:28.400 White House too. Made a list, but my top one 1178 01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:31.159 this week besides the jet is buy some bitcoin and 1179 01:05:31.239 --> 01:05:34.320 get a dinner with the President. Absolutely shameful. You know why, 1180 01:05:34.440 --> 01:05:36.719 I don't have a problem with that because it's all 1181 01:05:36.840 --> 01:05:40.079 perfectly transparent, and you, as a voter, can look at 1182 01:05:40.119 --> 01:05:43.280 what he's doing and go, wow, that's really gross. He's 1183 01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:46.800 profiting off the presidency of the United States of America. 1184 01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:49.559 But the reason I don't have a problem with it 1185 01:05:49.880 --> 01:05:54.039 is look at the net worth of the Obamas, of 1186 01:05:54.119 --> 01:05:58.199 the Bidens, of the Clintons, of the Bushes before they 1187 01:05:58.280 --> 01:06:01.119 became president, and then when they were done being president, 1188 01:06:01.559 --> 01:06:05.199 look at their networth. Then people have been profiting off 1189 01:06:05.239 --> 01:06:08.199 their position as president of the United States behind the 1190 01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:12.480 scenes for far too long. Do I still think it's gross, Yes, 1191 01:06:12.559 --> 01:06:14.760 I do. I think it's gross. I think it's in 1192 01:06:14.880 --> 01:06:17.159 the South, we don't say gross, we say it's tacky, 1193 01:06:18.000 --> 01:06:21.320 and he's being really, really tacky. There is gonna be 1194 01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:25.079 a really really fun schedule release show tonight with Broncos 1195 01:06:25.159 --> 01:06:28.039 Country Tonight, Dave Logan's gonna stop by. They're gonna chit 1196 01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:31.039 chat about the upcoming schedule. We do know one game 1197 01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:35.000 is going to be in Julio'd England. They wanted to 1198 01:06:35.039 --> 01:06:37.159 go to Germany apparently, and who could blame them because 1199 01:06:37.280 --> 01:06:39.800 Munich in October wow. 1200 01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:41.320 Wow. 1201 01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:44.679 But they are gonna be playing the Indianapolis Colts on 1202 01:06:44.760 --> 01:06:48.360 October twelfth in London, and I think I'm gonna I'm 1203 01:06:48.360 --> 01:06:51.679 gonna try and go to that game. I'm sure they're 1204 01:06:51.719 --> 01:06:54.519 not gonna let me go from the station officially, but 1205 01:06:55.519 --> 01:06:57.639 that would be super cool. That's kind of a bucket 1206 01:06:57.679 --> 01:07:01.199 list thing a little bit, don't you think Broncos? Does 1207 01:07:01.239 --> 01:07:03.880 anybody else think that's a bucketless thing? Because I gotta 1208 01:07:03.920 --> 01:07:07.239 tell you, London is the coolest city. It is, just 1209 01:07:08.280 --> 01:07:11.079 it is expensive as all get out. So if you 1210 01:07:11.119 --> 01:07:13.280 think you're gonna do it on the cheap, unless you're 1211 01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:16.360 gonna stay in a hostel, which I am far too 1212 01:07:16.440 --> 01:07:19.840 old to stay in a hostel. That stopped appealing to 1213 01:07:19.880 --> 01:07:24.239 me like thirty years ago. So it is expensive. But 1214 01:07:25.039 --> 01:07:27.559 what a great city, and what a fun time to 1215 01:07:27.719 --> 01:07:31.880 go and watch the Broncos play. That'd be neat anybody else. 1216 01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:34.400 Five six six, And I know is this a bucket 1217 01:07:34.440 --> 01:07:36.840 list thing for you guys? I think it's super cool. 1218 01:07:37.079 --> 01:07:39.800 I always wonder like how much do the Brits really 1219 01:07:39.960 --> 01:07:43.599 understand about the game itself? Because I feel this way 1220 01:07:43.599 --> 01:07:45.880 when I go to hockey games. I don't know anything 1221 01:07:45.920 --> 01:07:49.119 about hockey, and please don't tell me. I don't want 1222 01:07:49.119 --> 01:07:52.559 to know. It's just not my favorite sport. I don't 1223 01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:54.639 hate anybody. I love the Abs. I'm cheering for them, 1224 01:07:54.679 --> 01:07:56.519 but I have no idea what's going on on the IYCE, 1225 01:07:56.760 --> 01:07:59.119 no clue. I'm fine with it. It's good. 1226 01:08:00.239 --> 01:08:01.519 Am I just now hearing this? 1227 01:08:02.039 --> 01:08:03.920 Oh, you can ask Chuck. It drives him crazy because 1228 01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:05.480 every time we go to a hockey game he tries 1229 01:08:05.519 --> 01:08:06.320 to teach me and I'm like. 1230 01:08:06.679 --> 01:08:10.599 Just bounce, have failed you. I just I know hockey, 1231 01:08:10.760 --> 01:08:14.119 it's my favorite sport. What the hell I it's just 1232 01:08:14.480 --> 01:08:15.440 for some here. 1233 01:08:15.519 --> 01:08:17.800 Okay, here's a little truth about me, a rod. When 1234 01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:20.840 someone tries to teach me something that I don't care about, 1235 01:08:21.680 --> 01:08:26.359 it's like this, this wall of you know, ignorance, disinterest 1236 01:08:26.640 --> 01:08:28.239 drops down over my eyeballs. 1237 01:08:28.439 --> 01:08:30.479 No ignorance and whatever you. 1238 01:08:30.520 --> 01:08:32.560 Know people are trying to put in it, just think, think, 1239 01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:35.800 it just bounces off. And then, because I don't care, 1240 01:08:35.840 --> 01:08:37.560 I try to explain this to my daughter a lot. 1241 01:08:38.279 --> 01:08:41.039 She tells me really intricate stories about some of the 1242 01:08:41.119 --> 01:08:43.279 things in the books that she's reading, and then later 1243 01:08:43.399 --> 01:08:44.920 on she'll try and update me, and I'll say, wait 1244 01:08:44.920 --> 01:08:47.680 a minute, go back and refresh, you know, refresh where 1245 01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:49.399 we are so I can understand, because I do want 1246 01:08:49.439 --> 01:08:51.119 to know. I want to know what she thinks is interesting. 1247 01:08:51.399 --> 01:08:53.159 But that she's like, how can you not remember? I'm like, 1248 01:08:53.279 --> 01:08:56.279 I remember that India and Pakistan had been a worse 1249 01:08:56.319 --> 01:08:57.880 since nineteen forty seven. How about you. 1250 01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:03.720 Things from your own daughter about a book. I listened 1251 01:09:03.720 --> 01:09:07.560 to the important things to important well, and I do 1252 01:09:08.359 --> 01:09:10.439 get up to speed and then I get the resolution of. 1253 01:09:10.479 --> 01:09:14.000 Whatever she's reading. Whatever makes you feel better, Yeah, Mandy, 1254 01:09:14.039 --> 01:09:16.640 I've watched hostile. Nope, nope, nope.

He spelled it. Hostile. Hostile is el Probably he 1260 01:09:24.279 --> 01:09:30.000 put there's quotes in here and capitalization. Yeah, Mandy, I 1261 01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:31.640 think more of a bucket list thing for me would 1262 01:09:31.640 --> 01:09:35.680 be watching the Broncos in Kansas City on Christmas. Oh 1263 01:09:35.760 --> 01:09:39.000 to the person London sucks, stop it, stop it right now, 1264 01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:47.119 I reject that. I reject that right now anyway. So, yeah, 1265 01:09:47.359 --> 01:09:50.239 hockey players are the cutest. They are cutey. I love 1266 01:09:50.279 --> 01:09:53.239 the hockey hair. I mean, super cute, manly, even without 1267 01:09:53.279 --> 01:09:53.640 the teeth. 1268 01:09:54.279 --> 01:09:54.920 A lot of hockey. 1269 01:09:57.239 --> 01:09:59.800 Did you you had the party in the front, business 1270 01:09:59.840 --> 01:10:03.399 and the wait either business in the front, party. 1271 01:10:03.199 --> 01:10:03.479 In the back. 1272 01:10:03.840 --> 01:10:05.279 He was a party both sides. 1273 01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:06.880 I dare you to grow a mullet. Now I heard 1274 01:10:06.920 --> 01:10:07.640 they were coming back. 1275 01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:09.000 I could pipe pull it off. 1276 01:10:09.119 --> 01:10:11.239 I think you could I think you could one of 1277 01:10:11.279 --> 01:10:15.560 my Jimmy Keys who owns Gutter Helmet and Keys Concrete Coatings. 1278 01:10:15.720 --> 01:10:20.720 Love that family. His son had a pretty epic mullet 1279 01:10:20.760 --> 01:10:22.960 going for a while. I mean he's like in his twenties. 1280 01:10:23.079 --> 01:10:26.199 He's not a little kid. And it actually, I'm gonna 1281 01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:27.399 say it, it kind of looked good. 1282 01:10:27.479 --> 01:10:28.840 Yeah, there might be a cutoff, big. 1283 01:10:28.720 --> 01:10:31.039 Ethan shout out right there for that. It's a little 1284 01:10:31.039 --> 01:10:33.800 bit shorter than it was a cutoff. I saw what 1285 01:10:33.840 --> 01:10:37.600 you did there. Oh, didn't even do it on purpose. 1286 01:10:38.319 --> 01:10:39.800 That is when you know you were really good at 1287 01:10:39.840 --> 01:10:41.640 dad jokes, when they just come naturally. 1288 01:10:41.880 --> 01:10:44.840 Mandy, I had your back on the whole iPhone inferiority thing. 1289 01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:48.319 But hockey is vastly superior to football, no question. And 1290 01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:52.159 here's a news slash. My favorite sport is baseball. I know, 1291 01:10:52.520 --> 01:10:56.439 I know, I don't. I can't explain myself, and I 1292 01:10:56.560 --> 01:10:59.880 like Nickelback and Barry Manilow. There it is, guys, I 1293 01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:02.880 just slammed the closet door open, and now you know 1294 01:11:02.960 --> 01:11:03.439 all the dirt. 1295 01:11:03.479 --> 01:11:04.039 Yeah, you're a mess. 1296 01:11:04.319 --> 01:11:08.760 I know this person said London does well, they live 1297 01:11:08.800 --> 01:11:10.479 there for a year, so yeah, maybe they know better 1298 01:11:10.520 --> 01:11:12.279 than I do. It's a fun place to visit. How 1299 01:11:12.319 --> 01:11:15.880 about that? And the Broncos will be visiting that by 1300 01:11:15.920 --> 01:11:18.680 the way, tonight during the schedule release show, they're gonna 1301 01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:21.199 be giving away a pair of home tickets to a 1302 01:11:21.319 --> 01:11:25.199 home game, not the London game, a home game and 1303 01:11:25.920 --> 01:11:28.720 you can also go to Instagram and x at Kowa 1304 01:11:28.840 --> 01:11:31.680 Colorado and register to win those tickets. 1305 01:11:31.840 --> 01:11:35.800 Has one to three chances. Three chances there, you go make. 1306 01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:38.079 It happen, Mandy, I agree to go to London and 1307 01:11:38.079 --> 01:11:39.760 to see a Broncos game.

I got a story from 1322 01:12:30.760 --> 01:12:32.840 nine News on the blog today about a couple of 1323 01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:38.600 office buildings downtown and in twenty nineteen US someone valued 1324 01:12:38.640 --> 01:12:43.319 them at about two hundred million dollars twenty nineteen. So 1325 01:12:43.399 --> 01:12:46.640 what did they just sell for? They sold for three 1326 01:12:46.760 --> 01:12:53.439 point two million dollars. Remember twenty nineteen two hundred million dollars, 1327 01:12:54.279 --> 01:12:58.920 twenty twenty five three point two million dollars. That's quite 1328 01:12:58.960 --> 01:12:59.319 the swing. 1329 01:13:01.199 --> 01:13:01.319 Now. 1330 01:13:01.560 --> 01:13:05.319 Nine News does a decent job talking about the stresses 1331 01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:12.119 of downtown real estate and vacancies being just ridiculous experts. 1332 01:13:12.199 --> 01:13:14.720 This is from the story. Experts estimate that office buildings 1333 01:13:14.760 --> 01:13:17.960 in downtown Denver have lost forty to fifty percent of 1334 01:13:18.039 --> 01:13:21.880 their pre pandemic value. The city central Business district currently 1335 01:13:21.920 --> 01:13:25.239 faces vacancy rates of twenty five percent to thirty percent, 1336 01:13:25.640 --> 01:13:28.600 although this remains lower than tech heavy cities like Austin, 1337 01:13:28.720 --> 01:13:34.159 San Francisco and Seattle, where remote work has been particularly prevalent. 1338 01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:37.880 And then they go on to talk about why, you know, people, 1339 01:13:38.039 --> 01:13:40.279 the rents are too expensive, and now this guy bought 1340 01:13:40.319 --> 01:13:42.600 these two buildings and is going to convert them. Into apartments, 1341 01:13:43.000 --> 01:13:45.079 which is great. There's nothing wrong with any of this 1342 01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:47.600 in the story, except I feel like there's a big 1343 01:13:47.640 --> 01:13:51.840 glaring omission in this story, and that is that Denver's 1344 01:13:52.119 --> 01:13:57.039 new Green Dream requirements for large buildings are going to 1345 01:13:57.119 --> 01:14:02.199 be so expensive to retrofit a building for if the 1346 01:14:02.239 --> 01:14:06.319 building has any age on it whatsoever, because older buildings, 1347 01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:08.279 you know, thirty forty years ago, they did not have 1348 01:14:08.399 --> 01:14:11.159 the energy efficiencies they have now. They didn't have the 1349 01:14:11.199 --> 01:14:14.800 building codes that they have now. There's not remotely as 1350 01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:17.399 energy efficient as a new building. So they pretty much 1351 01:14:17.560 --> 01:14:22.439 destroyed the market for older office buildings in Denver because 1352 01:14:22.479 --> 01:14:23.760 the new owners are going to have to bring the 1353 01:14:23.760 --> 01:14:27.840 buildings up to the new code and it's just prohibitively expensive. 1354 01:14:28.680 --> 01:14:31.399 And that is I think a big, huge issue that 1355 01:14:31.520 --> 01:14:35.119 nine News didn't even mention. So I think that's an 1356 01:14:35.199 --> 01:14:38.760 oversight that should be corrected because if that is definitely 1357 01:14:39.279 --> 01:14:43.000 I've talked to business owners who have said, yeah, there 1358 01:14:43.039 --> 01:14:46.640 are opportunities, like there are people in real estate development 1359 01:14:46.800 --> 01:14:49.600 that become people other people call right They'll call you 1360 01:14:49.680 --> 01:14:51.840 and say, hey, I got a deal, I got this building. 1361 01:14:52.279 --> 01:14:54.680 They're offering them buildings in downtown Denver. They're like, not 1362 01:14:54.800 --> 01:14:58.359 a snowballs chance in hell, because those older buildings are 1363 01:14:58.439 --> 01:15:00.560 going to be like you were talking when I say 1364 01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:04.199 a lot of money. You could be like twenty five million, 1365 01:15:04.399 --> 01:15:08.479 fifty million to retro fift these buildings, and most people 1366 01:15:09.439 --> 01:15:11.439 are not willing to commit, especially for an older building, 1367 01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:13.119 because you never know what other problems you're going to find. 1368 01:15:14.199 --> 01:15:16.960 So that's a huge part of this conversation that is 1369 01:15:17.039 --> 01:15:19.279 not being had in this nine news story. This is 1370 01:15:19.399 --> 01:15:24.800 a crazy story out of Manitoo Springs right now. Manito 1371 01:15:24.960 --> 01:15:28.880 Springs has told the people of Manitou Springs that they 1372 01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:34.039 cannot shower. Yeah, you heard me right. What's going on 1373 01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:36.680 is that they had a bunch of snow in this 1374 01:15:36.800 --> 01:15:39.880 last snowstorm and then it melted really fast and it 1375 01:15:39.960 --> 01:15:43.119 has kicked off all of these organics into organic compounds 1376 01:15:43.199 --> 01:15:47.239 into their drinking water supply, and now they have a 1377 01:15:47.319 --> 01:15:51.520 strict water emergency going on in Manito Springs. According to 1378 01:15:51.560 --> 01:15:56.720 the city. The following is prohibited dishwashing except for sanitation. 1379 01:15:57.199 --> 01:16:00.840 Is there another reason to dishwash being genuine in this? 1380 01:16:01.079 --> 01:16:04.239 I mean, do people just for fun? I think I'm 1381 01:16:04.279 --> 01:16:07.000 just gonna wash my dishes today who is that person? 1382 01:16:07.960 --> 01:16:11.199 And we need to get them some help. You're not 1383 01:16:11.279 --> 01:16:16.000 supposed to do laundry, take showers. Obviously, you don't use irrigation, 1384 01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:20.039 and you can't wash your car. Commercial and industrial use 1385 01:16:20.159 --> 01:16:24.720 is not essential to drinking. I find this fascinating. They've 1386 01:16:24.720 --> 01:16:28.119 closed schools, they've closed the fitness centers because they don't 1387 01:16:28.119 --> 01:16:30.000 have any water. Now, what's ironic about this? And I 1388 01:16:30.159 --> 01:16:33.399 say this with so much love for Manitoo Springs. Do 1389 01:16:33.479 --> 01:16:35.600 you like Manitud Springs if you ever spend any time 1390 01:16:35.680 --> 01:16:37.600 down there? Ayrod Uh? 1391 01:16:38.640 --> 01:16:39.479 Not in the hot springs. 1392 01:16:40.319 --> 01:16:44.399 No, it's adorable. Manituo Springs is adorable. And everybody smells 1393 01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:48.159 like petuli, which is good because now you can't shower. 1394 01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:50.640 So there's every store in Manituo Springs. You can buy 1395 01:16:50.920 --> 01:16:54.520 some crystals to use as deodorant and some petuli because 1396 01:16:54.520 --> 01:16:57.960 you're gonna neat it. What's super ironic is that, when 1397 01:16:58.000 --> 01:16:59.920 you think about it, Manitou Springs has a freaking river 1398 01:17:00.119 --> 01:17:02.640 running right through the middle of it. For them to 1399 01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:06.760 have a water emergency, that's like wow, water water everywhere 1400 01:17:06.920 --> 01:17:12.600 and not a drop to drink. Yeah, manday, they should 1401 01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:14.279 have sold it to the city of Denver, it seems 1402 01:17:14.319 --> 01:17:17.920 they like to overpay. Yes, but only for homeless hotels. 1403 01:17:19.039 --> 01:17:21.640 And to the person who said McBride for Colorado governor, 1404 01:17:21.680 --> 01:17:23.920 has this dude been on the show yet, I would 1405 01:17:23.920 --> 01:17:27.199 be curious what his viewpoints are. I'm gonna be really 1406 01:17:27.319 --> 01:17:29.680 honest with you, guys. I am not ready to jump 1407 01:17:29.760 --> 01:17:33.760 into the next election. We absolutely will be inviting all 1408 01:17:33.840 --> 01:17:36.159 of the candidates on both sides of the aisle. We 1409 01:17:36.239 --> 01:17:39.239 will invite all well, Okay, if there's like a crazy 1410 01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:41.560 person that has no chance, I'm not gonna invite him 1411 01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:44.760 on the show. But all legitimate you know, if you 1412 01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:47.920 have any fundraising to speak of, I'm gonna invite you 1413 01:17:48.000 --> 01:17:51.079 on the show. Both Democrat and Republican, especially the Democrats. 1414 01:17:51.119 --> 01:17:53.640 I'm gonna try and get on the show because the 1415 01:17:53.720 --> 01:17:57.640 way it looks right now, unless there's some unicorn Republican 1416 01:17:57.720 --> 01:18:00.840 out there with absolutely no skeleton in the closet and 1417 01:18:00.920 --> 01:18:03.880 the clear ability to articulate why conservative positions would be 1418 01:18:03.920 --> 01:18:07.359 great for Colorado, we're going to have another Democratic governor. 1419 01:18:08.800 --> 01:18:12.479 A lot has to happen to change my view of that, 1420 01:18:13.600 --> 01:18:15.520 so I will have them on the show. I just 1421 01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:18.039 am not ready to jump right in to another one, 1422 01:18:19.159 --> 01:18:21.800 just not yet. I hope you understand. So if you're 1423 01:18:21.800 --> 01:18:24.399 going to Manitou, you may want to bring a little 1424 01:18:25.399 --> 01:18:28.079 what's that stuff called Vic's vapor rub, like the emmes us. 1425 01:18:28.760 --> 01:18:32.680 Just put it right under your nostrils. I mean, I'm 1426 01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:35.800 just saying there's a lot of hippies in Manito Springs, 1427 01:18:36.640 --> 01:18:43.039 a lot of hippies, a lot of witches, wickens, weirdos, 1428 01:18:43.119 --> 01:18:44.760 And I mean that in the best possible way. I 1429 01:18:44.800 --> 01:18:45.880 happen to be pro weirdo. 1430 01:18:46.960 --> 01:18:47.119 I do. 1431 01:18:47.520 --> 01:18:51.520 I'm pro weirdo. I think weirdos make life interesting. Weirdos 1432 01:18:51.560 --> 01:18:53.840 make life fun. I mean, not the dangerous whack of 1433 01:18:53.840 --> 01:18:57.520 doodle weirdos, just your run of the mill normal weirdos. 1434 01:18:57.640 --> 01:19:01.239 Everybody needs some weirdos in their life. You think, I know, 1435 01:19:01.399 --> 01:19:07.560 I do, Mandy? Do those hippie shower anyway? I don't know, Hi, Mandy, 1436 01:19:07.640 --> 01:19:10.520 My Band's Sundance Revival is playing in Manitou Springs this 1437 01:19:10.640 --> 01:19:13.800 Sunday at one o'clock at the Armadillo Ranch. Come out 1438 01:19:13.840 --> 01:19:16.800 and have a glass of water. Now you rebel? Are 1439 01:19:16.840 --> 01:19:19.600 you just gonna bring bottled water and like like just 1440 01:19:19.960 --> 01:19:21.800 throw it all over everybody in the crowd. 1441 01:19:21.960 --> 01:19:22.319 Just as a. 1442 01:19:22.359 --> 01:19:28.359 Flex I would. This is a fascinating study. Someone decided 1443 01:19:29.000 --> 01:19:34.720 to do something and put a value proposition on concert tickets. 1444 01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:39.159 They went and got the prices for various concerts, and 1445 01:19:39.319 --> 01:19:43.800 then they went and got the set list, and they 1446 01:19:43.880 --> 01:19:47.680 divided the price of the concert with the number of songs, 1447 01:19:47.760 --> 01:19:49.920 and they got a value proposition like what are you 1448 01:19:50.000 --> 01:19:54.319 paying per song? Hey, Runner, you're a Lna del Rey fan. 1449 01:19:56.680 --> 01:19:58.600 I don't know if I if I could identify a 1450 01:19:59.279 --> 01:20:01.119 Lna del Race, I'm going to slap me in the face. 1451 01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:03.079 I don't know. 1452 01:20:03.239 --> 01:20:05.960 I mean I think she's she leads with. 1453 01:20:06.000 --> 01:20:09.520 The priciest concert performer at sixteen dollars and two cents 1454 01:20:09.560 --> 01:20:13.840 per song. I mean, that's that's kind of nuts. Pass 1455 01:20:15.239 --> 01:20:19.039 Oasis generates the most revenue for song at wait for it, 1456 01:20:19.840 --> 01:20:23.000 eight hundred and fifty eight twenty four dollars, with nightly 1457 01:20:23.079 --> 01:20:27.640 earnings of seventeen point one six million across their Reunion 1458 01:20:27.680 --> 01:20:31.600 tour shows. Budget conscious fans get the best value from 1459 01:20:31.720 --> 01:20:35.199 Ed Sheeran just ninety one cents per minute and Usher 1460 01:20:35.479 --> 01:20:38.800 at three dollars and seventy six cents per song. Now 1461 01:20:39.439 --> 01:20:41.039 let me just go back in the way back machine. 1462 01:20:41.279 --> 01:20:44.840 Back when I was a kid. I remember the first 1463 01:20:44.920 --> 01:20:46.840 concert that I bought tickets for that I had to 1464 01:20:46.880 --> 01:20:48.399 save up money and I had to go, you know, 1465 01:20:48.520 --> 01:20:52.039 wait in line. I gotta tell you, Like as easy 1466 01:20:52.960 --> 01:20:54.840 as it is to sit in your computer in a 1467 01:20:54.920 --> 01:20:57.640 queue when tickets go on sale on Ticketmaster, there was 1468 01:20:57.720 --> 01:21:00.520 something magical about camping out for tickets for a show 1469 01:21:00.600 --> 01:21:02.600 you really wanted to see. Right, you go to the 1470 01:21:02.640 --> 01:21:04.960 record store, you set up your lawn chair, you got 1471 01:21:05.000 --> 01:21:07.479 your cooler, and you hang out with a bunch of 1472 01:21:07.560 --> 01:21:10.239 other nerds who are in line waiting for a concert. 1473 01:21:10.359 --> 01:21:12.079 And then you're like first in line the next day, 1474 01:21:12.159 --> 01:21:13.680 and it was you still got ten throw seats, And 1475 01:21:13.720 --> 01:21:20.600 you're like, what happened? But artists back then, when tickets 1476 01:21:20.640 --> 01:21:22.800 were thirty seven dollars, I had to save up thirty 1477 01:21:22.880 --> 01:21:24.600 seven dollars, which was a lot of money to me 1478 01:21:24.680 --> 01:21:27.399 in nineteen eighty seven. But in the grand scheme of things, 1479 01:21:27.439 --> 01:21:30.000 when people are paying hundreds of dollars for a concert ticket, 1480 01:21:30.039 --> 01:21:33.159 now I feel pretty lucky. But back then, artists made 1481 01:21:33.279 --> 01:21:36.439 money on album sales. Right, we all went and we 1482 01:21:36.479 --> 01:21:38.760 bought their album, We bought their CD, we bought their cassette. 1483 01:21:38.800 --> 01:21:40.479 We bought their eight track depending on how old you were, 1484 01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:44.720 and they made money off of all of that. But 1485 01:21:44.880 --> 01:21:50.479 now streaming pays so little that they may have tons 1486 01:21:50.560 --> 01:21:53.760 more downloads, but the actual payout per play is much much, 1487 01:21:53.880 --> 01:21:57.000 much lower, so they have to make money on these concerts. 1488 01:21:57.600 --> 01:22:00.479 I will tell you, I feel like the Tailor swift 1489 01:22:01.000 --> 01:22:03.640 Eras tour that had to be a good value because 1490 01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:10.399 she sang so many songs. I mean so many songs. 1491 01:22:11.680 --> 01:22:15.880 Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball Tour follows at thirteen point nine 1492 01:22:16.039 --> 01:22:18.680 seven cents per song and two forty seven a minute. 1493 01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:23.359 That's two dollars and forty seven cents a minute. Beyonce 1494 01:22:23.720 --> 01:22:26.039 rounds out the top three with her Cowboy Carter and 1495 01:22:26.119 --> 01:22:30.119 the Rodeo Chitlin Circuit Tour at thirteen dollars and sixty 1496 01:22:30.199 --> 01:22:34.319 three cents per track. Her generous thirty six song two 1497 01:22:34.319 --> 01:22:38.439 and a half hour spectacles command premium pricing, averaging four 1498 01:22:38.560 --> 01:22:44.760 hundred and ninety one dollars per seat. Yike, you guys, 1499 01:22:44.840 --> 01:22:46.640 how do you take your kids to stuff like that? 1500 01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:50.399 I mean, how do you? We've now now with my daughter, 1501 01:22:50.600 --> 01:22:53.840 that's all she wants for Christmas is she asked for concerts, 1502 01:22:53.880 --> 01:22:55.439 and a lot of the music she listens to or 1503 01:22:55.479 --> 01:22:57.439 not is no music that we have here in the station. 1504 01:22:58.640 --> 01:23:01.880 But thankfully they're not big star they're not super celebrities. 1505 01:23:01.920 --> 01:23:07.000 They're you know, lower tier musicians on the way up, 1506 01:23:07.560 --> 01:23:10.479 I think most of them. But still it's like, you know, 1507 01:23:10.760 --> 01:23:14.600 eighty five ninety dollars a ticket, it's like oof, that hurts. 1508 01:23:15.680 --> 01:23:18.319 With my best friend in nineteen eighty five camping out 1509 01:23:18.359 --> 01:23:21.560 at Independent Records to get Rush tickets so fun, I 1510 01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:28.000 will never forget. I camped out for two days, two nights, 1511 01:23:28.279 --> 01:23:30.359 two days, two nights, three nights, I guess three days, 1512 01:23:30.399 --> 01:23:33.279 two nights to get Eric Clapton tickets on my twenty 1513 01:23:33.359 --> 01:23:35.840 first birthday. I didn't camp out on my twenty first birthday. 1514 01:23:35.880 --> 01:23:38.920 The concert was on my twenty first birthday and it 1515 01:23:39.960 --> 01:23:44.159 was worth it. And the last day I used to 1516 01:23:44.199 --> 01:23:46.720 work at a restaurant called the Mill Bakery, Etery and Brewery, 1517 01:23:47.039 --> 01:23:48.760 and we had donuts and muffins and stuff like that. 1518 01:23:49.199 --> 01:23:51.279 The last day of the camp out, right before tickets 1519 01:23:51.319 --> 01:23:53.880 went on sale, I got the manager to bring donuts 1520 01:23:53.920 --> 01:23:56.680 for everybody in line, and I was I was the 1521 01:23:56.760 --> 01:23:58.039 hero of the day and I was in the front 1522 01:23:58.039 --> 01:24:00.920 of the line, so I was I was like, yeah, God, 1523 01:24:00.960 --> 01:24:03.479 it was so fun. Back in the day, the Dead 1524 01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:05.960 never made money on their records. Sharing music sure paid 1525 01:24:06.000 --> 01:24:09.079 off for them, Yeah, I did, Mandy. I saw in 1526 01:24:09.199 --> 01:24:11.880 nineteen eighty two saw Queen and Billie Squire from the 1527 01:24:12.000 --> 01:24:16.520 Eighteenth paid twelve bucks for the whole show, Mandy. I 1528 01:24:16.600 --> 01:24:19.199 was seventeen when I saw my first live concert Led 1529 01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:22.720 Zeppelin in nineteen seventy three at Kazar Stadium in San Francisco. 1530 01:24:22.800 --> 01:24:26.319 We camped overnight. It was epic ticket price seven dollars 1531 01:24:26.359 --> 01:24:30.479 and fifty cents. Back in my day, you could go 1532 01:24:30.760 --> 01:24:33.359 see a concert for a reasonable an out of money. 1533 01:24:34.640 --> 01:24:37.800 Not anymore. But at what point, I wonder, at what 1534 01:24:37.960 --> 01:24:42.359 point the people start saying, uh, yeah, I'm not going 1535 01:24:42.439 --> 01:24:45.319 to pay four hundred dollars a ticket for bad money. 1536 01:24:48.319 --> 01:24:49.960 I guess as long as there's people willing to pay, 1537 01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:52.159 they could get them. By the way, I'll begrudge you 1538 01:24:52.159 --> 01:24:56.000 anybody making money. I really don't, but it does feel 1539 01:24:57.000 --> 01:24:59.760 inaccessible for a lot of people to be able to 1540 01:24:59.800 --> 01:25:02.880 pay four hundred and fifty bucks for concert ticket. I mean, 1541 01:25:02.920 --> 01:25:04.520 at that point you're like, do I pay my rent 1542 01:25:04.680 --> 01:25:06.720 or do I go see Beyonce. I have a video 1543 01:25:08.119 --> 01:25:11.399 a young Chinese woman did an undercover report on the 1544 01:25:11.520 --> 01:25:17.640 working conditions for fast fashion giant San And if you 1545 01:25:17.760 --> 01:25:22.880 buy from Shean, you're buying from people who are not 1546 01:25:23.039 --> 01:25:26.640 being treated well. But you know, hey, whatever, it's fine. 1547 01:25:27.119 --> 01:25:30.000 That's on the blog today. The Office has a new 1548 01:25:30.039 --> 01:25:32.800 spin off, and I have to say I love the 1549 01:25:32.960 --> 01:25:37.760 concept so much. It almost has a Christopher guest waiting 1550 01:25:37.840 --> 01:25:41.520 for Guffman feel to it. And it is about a 1551 01:25:41.640 --> 01:25:44.399 small town newspaper who has run out of money and 1552 01:25:44.520 --> 01:25:46.439 the editor is trying to keep the whole thing afloat 1553 01:25:46.920 --> 01:25:52.479 with volunteer reporters. Already, I'm excited about the premise Oscar 1554 01:25:52.600 --> 01:25:56.279 will be a part of this show. What network? Where's 1555 01:25:56.319 --> 01:25:58.520 this airing? It's not on regular television? 1556 01:25:59.159 --> 01:26:02.920 Is it Paramid on NBC? No, It's on Peacock plus 1557 01:26:03.039 --> 01:26:03.640 Peacock Yes. 1558 01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:06.239 Yeah, So this is the new way they're trying to 1559 01:26:06.279 --> 01:26:09.399 make us all get streaming services. Ha jokes on them. 1560 01:26:09.439 --> 01:26:14.199 I already have that one. Anyway, I want to talk 1561 01:26:14.239 --> 01:26:17.479 for just a moment about again. I mean, this is 1562 01:26:18.640 --> 01:26:23.520 I really don't understand why Jeff co parents aren't constantly 1563 01:26:23.720 --> 01:26:26.199 up in arms about the things that are happening in 1564 01:26:26.239 --> 01:26:32.560 their district. You may remember that there was a female 1565 01:26:32.680 --> 01:26:37.079 teacher who not only groomed a female student towards a 1566 01:26:37.119 --> 01:26:41.439 sexual relationship, she also helped the student commit fraud by 1567 01:26:41.600 --> 01:26:44.960 lying on FAFSA forms those are Federal student aid forms 1568 01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:48.279 and declaring her homeless, even though everybody knew she wasn't. 1569 01:26:49.920 --> 01:26:53.319 Since the girl turned eighteen, she conveniently left the state 1570 01:26:53.439 --> 01:26:57.199 to go live with the teacher, and Jefferson County Public 1571 01:26:57.239 --> 01:27:03.680 Schools has done nothing productive about it until now. Until now, 1572 01:27:04.680 --> 01:27:07.760 I just want to let you know what Jeffco Superintendent 1573 01:27:08.319 --> 01:27:11.920 Tracy Doorland is doing about this. Listen to this good 1574 01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:17.119 morning from an email for Inquiring Minds. Tracy's breakfast meeting 1575 01:27:17.199 --> 01:27:19.319 with us tomorrow at Columbine High School where all this 1576 01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:22.119 took place, is an opportunity for her to share her 1577 01:27:22.199 --> 01:27:26.399 support and the district support of Columbine and Scott, the 1578 01:27:26.479 --> 01:27:28.600 principal who knew about it and helped it happen anyway, 1579 01:27:28.640 --> 01:27:30.880 and when the mother complained said this teacher was just 1580 01:27:30.960 --> 01:27:35.000 helping this girl navigate her sexuality. I would say, so, 1581 01:27:37.000 --> 01:27:40.800 let me start again for Inquiring Minds, Tracy's breakfast meeting 1582 01:27:40.840 --> 01:27:42.800 with us tomorrow morning is an opportunity for her to 1583 01:27:42.880 --> 01:27:46.479 share her support and the district support of Columbine and 1584 01:27:46.720 --> 01:27:49.840 Scott as related to the leanne Kearney news stories in 1585 01:27:49.880 --> 01:27:53.520 the past weeks. Last week, a small group collaborated on 1586 01:27:53.640 --> 01:27:56.840 the importance of making a statement in defense of Scott 1587 01:27:57.039 --> 01:27:59.880 and Columbine as we feel the news has portrayed a 1588 01:28:00.079 --> 01:28:03.640 horribly negative and false image of Columbine and how the 1589 01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:11.319 situation was handled. Because that's what happened. The media didn't 1590 01:28:11.359 --> 01:28:15.479 have to spin anything out of control. A principle of 1591 01:28:15.560 --> 01:28:20.600 a school guidance counselors of a school committed fraud and 1592 01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:27.520 helped a female lesbian teacher groom a female student at school. 1593 01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:31.760 I mean what, I'm sorry, did I miss something we're 1594 01:28:31.880 --> 01:28:34.600 in that we're in that is just the Oh, they 1595 01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:38.960 just mishandled one situation. There were a series of purposeful 1596 01:28:39.159 --> 01:28:43.199 choices by school officials to separate this girl from her 1597 01:28:43.279 --> 01:28:47.479 family so she could be preyed upon by their colleague. 1598 01:28:49.359 --> 01:28:52.039 I admit, that's pretty clear. I don't think we need to, 1599 01:28:52.239 --> 01:28:56.520 you know, there's no reason. I sorta nibble around the edges. Thankfully. 1600 01:28:56.600 --> 01:28:58.960 By the way, while Tracy Dorelin, the superintendent, has just 1601 01:28:59.000 --> 01:29:02.079 been ignoring parents were outraged about this. At least she's 1602 01:29:02.119 --> 01:29:04.239 gonna go to the school to let them know the 1603 01:29:04.399 --> 01:29:07.640 district is going to support them as they're being investigated 1604 01:29:07.680 --> 01:29:12.479 for the fraud they perpetrated allegedly. I am really fascinated 1605 01:29:12.520 --> 01:29:16.039 to see how this thing turns out, really fascinated. And 1606 01:29:16.199 --> 01:29:18.600 I again, I don't understand why jeff Co parents, and 1607 01:29:18.640 --> 01:29:21.960 why this is okay. I don't understand why you're not 1608 01:29:22.039 --> 01:29:25.359 at every single school board meeting demanding the resignation of 1609 01:29:25.439 --> 01:29:31.199 Tracy Dorlund for her blatant ineptitude in this and so 1610 01:29:31.279 --> 01:29:34.800 many other matters. But hey, I don't live in jeff Co. 1611 01:29:34.880 --> 01:29:40.720 You guys are on your own anyway. Can we talk 1612 01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:47.439 about you know, sometimes people will balk, like if you've 1613 01:29:47.479 --> 01:29:51.039 ever rented a vrbo and Airbnb, there's usually a list 1614 01:29:51.119 --> 01:29:53.760 of rules. Right when Chuck and I got married, we 1615 01:29:53.840 --> 01:29:56.399 actually came out here for our honeymoon because we were 1616 01:29:56.399 --> 01:29:58.479 living in Southwest Florida or living on the sun as 1617 01:29:58.520 --> 01:30:00.319 I like to call it. So I told you we 1618 01:30:00.359 --> 01:30:03.199 got married in December, and I said I for our honeymoon, 1619 01:30:03.560 --> 01:30:05.239 I want to go to a place with four feet 1620 01:30:05.279 --> 01:30:08.039 of snow. I want to have a hot tub outside, 1621 01:30:08.920 --> 01:30:10.960 and I want it to be really private. So we 1622 01:30:11.039 --> 01:30:14.640 rented a cabin and divide. It was so good, it 1623 01:30:14.800 --> 01:30:17.760 was absolutely fantastic. But when we thought when we got 1624 01:30:17.840 --> 01:30:20.520 this deal done, so this is two thousand and seven, 1625 01:30:21.600 --> 01:30:23.319 and a lot of stuff was still being done, Like 1626 01:30:23.399 --> 01:30:26.720 we got this emailed contract because Airbnb wasn't a thing then, 1627 01:30:27.439 --> 01:30:29.640 or if it was, I wasn't aware of it, and 1628 01:30:29.760 --> 01:30:32.720 they emailed us this contract and I am not joking you. 1629 01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:37.199 It was like fifteen pages long, written in tiny mice 1630 01:30:37.319 --> 01:30:39.800 type of all of these rules that you had to 1631 01:30:39.880 --> 01:30:43.039 follow to stay in this cabin. And Chuck looked at 1632 01:30:43.039 --> 01:30:46.079 it and was like, you have got to be kidding me. 1633 01:30:46.560 --> 01:30:48.439 With all these rules, I said, you have to understand 1634 01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:51.640 every one of these rules is in response to some 1635 01:30:51.960 --> 01:30:56.279 stupid thing that someone else did already. I mean, there 1636 01:30:56.319 --> 01:30:59.960 were things I wish I could remember the most ridiculous one, 1637 01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:03.600 but they were so ridiculous. You know, someone did it 1638 01:31:04.079 --> 01:31:05.439 and they had to make a rule so it didn't 1639 01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:08.680 happen again. So that's kind of how I feel about 1640 01:31:08.720 --> 01:31:11.920 this rule change. At CON the Film Festival, you know, 1641 01:31:11.960 --> 01:31:16.239 the Con Film festival, massive Hollywood event in France. It's 1642 01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:18.239 one of the biggest film festivals in the world, if 1643 01:31:18.319 --> 01:31:20.439 not the biggest film festival in the world, and it's 1644 01:31:20.479 --> 01:31:27.199 their seventy eighth annual event. So this year the cann 1645 01:31:27.359 --> 01:31:32.119 website has added something to the website. One of those 1646 01:31:32.199 --> 01:31:37.720 things is the dress code. Listen to this for the 1647 01:31:37.800 --> 01:31:42.000 Graham Theater Lumire Gallas greenings taking plays around seven to 1648 01:31:42.119 --> 01:31:45.800 ten PM, which are attended by the artistic teams evening 1649 01:31:45.880 --> 01:31:50.079 where long dress tuxedo is required. Alternatively, you may also 1650 01:31:50.239 --> 01:31:53.760 wear a little black dress, a cocktail dress, a dark 1651 01:31:53.840 --> 01:31:56.760 colored pantsuit, a dressy top with black pants, elegant shoes 1652 01:31:56.800 --> 01:32:00.119 and sandals with or without a heel, no sneakers, a 1653 01:32:00.199 --> 01:32:02.319 black or blue navy suit with bow tie or dark 1654 01:32:02.359 --> 01:32:05.399 colored a tie. Tope bags, backpacks or large bags are 1655 01:32:05.520 --> 01:32:08.159 prohibited for decency reasons. 1656 01:32:09.239 --> 01:32:13.560 Nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as 1657 01:32:13.640 --> 01:32:18.279 in any other area of the festival. Voluminous outfits, in 1658 01:32:18.359 --> 01:32:21.520 particular those with a large train that hinder the proper 1659 01:32:21.600 --> 01:32:24.159 flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the 1660 01:32:24.199 --> 01:32:29.319 theater are not permitted. They had to make a rule 1661 01:32:29.439 --> 01:32:32.960 that you couldn't show up naked to the can Film Festival. 1662 01:32:33.279 --> 01:32:37.560 That's where we are in society right now. The funniest 1663 01:32:37.600 --> 01:32:39.399 part about this is I'm pretty sure you can go 1664 01:32:39.479 --> 01:32:41.800 to the beach in can and see a bunch of 1665 01:32:41.840 --> 01:32:44.479 topless women, but you're not gonna see them at the 1666 01:32:44.479 --> 01:32:48.159 film festival. This is what Hollywood has done. All of 1667 01:32:48.239 --> 01:32:52.159 these Hollywood starlits, trying to get some kind of traction, 1668 01:32:52.680 --> 01:32:54.680 trying to be the thing that was talked about the 1669 01:32:54.760 --> 01:32:57.880 next day, have now set a standard where in France, 1670 01:32:57.960 --> 01:33:01.439 of all places, they have to clearly say no nudity 1671 01:33:01.720 --> 01:33:06.199 of any kind. Now this article that I read the 1672 01:33:06.279 --> 01:33:11.439 headline is very misleading. It says Halle there he was 1673 01:33:11.479 --> 01:33:14.399 supposed to change at Cans last minute, not going to 1674 01:33:14.439 --> 01:33:16.439 break the rules, and then they start out with the 1675 01:33:16.520 --> 01:33:19.159 naked part. You're like, Halle was not about to go naked. 1676 01:33:19.319 --> 01:33:23.960 Because Halle normally ninety nine point one percent of the 1677 01:33:24.039 --> 01:33:29.840 time is flawless on a red carpet. She is gorgeous, 1678 01:33:30.439 --> 01:33:33.760 she has incredible style, she has a rock and body. 1679 01:33:34.399 --> 01:33:36.920 I only say ninety nine point one percent of the 1680 01:33:37.000 --> 01:33:42.479 time because her Met Galla dress was not good. It 1681 01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:46.680 was it was not good. It just it was It 1682 01:33:46.760 --> 01:33:49.479 was the opposite of good. It was bad. It had 1683 01:33:49.600 --> 01:33:53.439 sheer panels sewn in with kind of in this striped way, 1684 01:33:54.000 --> 01:33:56.800 and there was a black panel in the middle of 1685 01:33:56.880 --> 01:33:59.680 her body that went right down, you know, and covered 1686 01:33:59.720 --> 01:34:03.199 the uh the private area, do you know what I mean. 1687 01:34:04.279 --> 01:34:06.319 But then there was two sheer panels on either side 1688 01:34:06.359 --> 01:34:07.720 of it, so you could sort of like, oh, can 1689 01:34:07.800 --> 01:34:10.199 I see No, you could not, but it just it 1690 01:34:10.279 --> 01:34:14.199 did not work. Mandy has Scott a principle or a pimpsicle? 1691 01:34:15.119 --> 01:34:18.720 Uh huh. I don't think he is trying to pimp 1692 01:34:18.760 --> 01:34:20.800 people out, but I think he was asleep at the wheel. 1693 01:34:21.880 --> 01:34:25.239 I think he trusted the word of a teacher who 1694 01:34:25.319 --> 01:34:27.720 was a predator, because we still don't think of women 1695 01:34:27.840 --> 01:34:32.560 as predators, and yet they are. We've had two stories. 1696 01:34:32.600 --> 01:34:34.239 I have a story on the blog today about a 1697 01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:38.640 Douglas County teacher, a male teacher, being arrested for child 1698 01:34:38.720 --> 01:34:41.600 abuse of some sort. And then I heard in Keenan's 1699 01:34:41.640 --> 01:34:44.079 news we got a guy at a cherry creek or somewhere. 1700 01:34:45.039 --> 01:34:46.960 But these are both dudes, right, so we you know, 1701 01:34:47.079 --> 01:34:50.239 when that happens, we're like, okay, we need to think 1702 01:34:50.319 --> 01:34:54.520 that women can be predators because they can be Mandy. 1703 01:34:54.600 --> 01:34:56.720 Did they also have to include thou shalt not kill 1704 01:34:56.920 --> 01:34:59.319 in the rules it can what and make sure that 1705 01:34:59.399 --> 01:35:01.560 Alec baldw you could never come again. That would be 1706 01:35:01.680 --> 01:35:06.479 mean to single him out like that, Nandy, they do 1707 01:35:06.640 --> 01:35:09.479 not take a bath with a toaster clause is standard 1708 01:35:09.600 --> 01:35:12.279 in rental agreements. No, it was way worse than that. 1709 01:35:12.439 --> 01:35:16.960 It was things very specific like don't put an open 1710 01:35:17.119 --> 01:35:20.720 container of tuna fish in the refrigerator and leave it. 1711 01:35:21.079 --> 01:35:24.399 I mean that it was that kind of level of specificity, 1712 01:35:25.439 --> 01:35:27.880 and they were just more absurd. They either got my 1713 01:35:28.239 --> 01:35:31.800 thinking was the people who own this area or own 1714 01:35:31.880 --> 01:35:34.039 this home that we rented. It's now a private residence. 1715 01:35:34.079 --> 01:35:36.119 We found it again, but you can't rent it anymore. 1716 01:35:36.960 --> 01:35:39.079 I think they either got super drunk and just made 1717 01:35:39.159 --> 01:35:40.800 up the wildest rules that they could ever think of 1718 01:35:40.880 --> 01:35:43.079 in their lives, or all of these things had been 1719 01:35:43.119 --> 01:35:48.359 done by prior renters. Mandy, private area, whatever do you 1720 01:35:48.479 --> 01:35:52.079 mean if you don't know, I cannot help you. Nope, 1721 01:35:52.760 --> 01:35:56.199 do not Nope. And I cannot read the other text 1722 01:35:56.319 --> 01:36:02.439 about that because it will it will get me fired anyway. 1723 01:36:02.600 --> 01:36:05.840 This text message gets it right, Nandy. My life motto 1724 01:36:06.000 --> 01:36:10.159 is there's always one schmuck and it's true. It absolutely 1725 01:36:10.520 --> 01:36:14.039 is true. So here we go. We've gone from Jeffco's schools. 1726 01:36:14.079 --> 01:36:18.880 We've gone to the what's the word I'm looking for, 1727 01:36:19.880 --> 01:36:22.399 the halle Berry situation. But I do want to get 1728 01:36:22.439 --> 01:36:24.960 into this story. I should have done it earlier because 1729 01:36:25.000 --> 01:36:26.720 this is something we've talked about and I think that 1730 01:36:26.880 --> 01:36:30.319 it is one of those things that it's really important 1731 01:36:31.439 --> 01:36:41.880 to understand the damage around alcohol that we have sort 1732 01:36:41.960 --> 01:36:45.079 of pushed to the wayside. And there's a story in 1733 01:36:45.119 --> 01:36:47.800 the Wall Street Journal right now about women and alcohol. 1734 01:36:47.840 --> 01:36:49.720 And we've talked about this before. I've talked about how 1735 01:36:49.760 --> 01:36:54.760 I really don't like mommy wine culture. And it's not 1736 01:36:54.880 --> 01:36:56.800 that I don't like women drinking wine. That's not it 1737 01:36:56.880 --> 01:36:58.680 at all, obviously not I have the wine again in 1738 01:36:58.720 --> 01:37:01.319 the show we talk about wine. I drink in moderation, 1739 01:37:01.439 --> 01:37:04.000 although hardly ever anymore, but simply because it prevents me 1740 01:37:04.039 --> 01:37:09.840 from sleeping. Ever. So, mommy wine culture is more the 1741 01:37:11.039 --> 01:37:13.079 women who walk around with the t shirts that say 1742 01:37:13.680 --> 01:37:17.319 your why Mommy drinks, or they walk around with the 1743 01:37:17.399 --> 01:37:21.640 win o'clock shirts like they're walking around as an active 1744 01:37:21.720 --> 01:37:26.079 promotion of a habit that is not a healthy habit. Yeah, 1745 01:37:26.119 --> 01:37:28.359 you can have wine and moderation and it's good for 1746 01:37:28.439 --> 01:37:30.560 you and all that stuff. That's one of those nutrition 1747 01:37:30.720 --> 01:37:33.439 stories that one day alcohol will be bad, one day 1748 01:37:33.520 --> 01:37:35.319 wine will be good, one day beer'll be good, then 1749 01:37:35.319 --> 01:37:37.840 it'll be bad. I mean, we don't really know, and 1750 01:37:37.960 --> 01:37:41.079 I don't think that. Like I'm never in favor of like, 1751 01:37:41.239 --> 01:37:43.680 let's just never sell alcohol again. That's not it at all. 1752 01:37:43.960 --> 01:37:48.680 I'm for responsible usage. But now women are not just 1753 01:37:48.800 --> 01:37:54.359 drinking more, they're also dying more. Men by far, die 1754 01:37:54.479 --> 01:37:58.920 more often of alcohol related issues by far, but women 1755 01:37:58.960 --> 01:38:02.920 are catching up. Women who turn thirty five between twenty 1756 01:38:02.960 --> 01:38:06.159 eighteen and twenty nineteen were more sixty percent more likely 1757 01:38:07.159 --> 01:38:11.000 to report binge drinking or alcohol use disorder symptoms than 1758 01:38:11.079 --> 01:38:14.600 women who turn thirty five earlier than that. Doctors are 1759 01:38:14.640 --> 01:38:18.000 now witnessing more hospitalizations of women for liver disease, and 1760 01:38:18.199 --> 01:38:22.800 some researchers suspect alcohol consumption is contributing to a rise 1761 01:38:22.920 --> 01:38:27.079 in the rates of breast cancer. Women are also experiencing 1762 01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:30.840 alcohol related deaths at a faster clip than men, and 1763 01:38:31.039 --> 01:38:34.840 they're saying it's not pay parity, it's drinking parity. So 1764 01:38:36.279 --> 01:38:38.640 I always like people to just think about be purposeful 1765 01:38:38.880 --> 01:38:42.479 in your vices, right, think about what you're doing. Just 1766 01:38:42.520 --> 01:38:45.119 don't do it because it's habit. And if you enjoy 1767 01:38:45.159 --> 01:38:47.720 a glass of wine and you love having a delicious 1768 01:38:47.720 --> 01:38:49.920 bottle of wine with your dinner on occasion, I'm here 1769 01:38:50.000 --> 01:38:52.520 for you one hundred percent. Just pay attention to what 1770 01:38:52.600 --> 01:38:56.920 you're doing. Pay attention if it's negatively impacting your relationships 1771 01:38:56.960 --> 01:38:59.479 in your life, if it's making more difficult to do 1772 01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:02.880 your job. At that point, you may need to recognize 1773 01:39:02.920 --> 01:39:05.359 that you were headed down a very very bad road 1774 01:39:05.560 --> 01:39:07.279 and right edwards. I'm gonna ask you this because Ryan 1775 01:39:07.359 --> 01:39:09.560 just came in the studio. Did you have friends in 1776 01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:13.239 college who were like party, party, party, party, party, of course, 1777 01:39:13.399 --> 01:39:14.840 and then they got out of college and they were 1778 01:39:14.920 --> 01:39:15.560 like I'm done. 1779 01:39:16.039 --> 01:39:17.079 Oh yeah, yeah, I'm done. 1780 01:39:17.199 --> 01:39:19.439 And then you have the friends that never did They 1781 01:39:19.640 --> 01:39:22.680 never got over it, right, and now they're forty and 1782 01:39:22.800 --> 01:39:26.399 they're bloated and they're a full blown alcoholic. And that 1783 01:39:26.560 --> 01:39:28.920 is the most depressing thing because I think if you've 1784 01:39:28.960 --> 01:39:31.279 gone to college, you have people that fit in both those. 1785 01:39:31.119 --> 01:39:34.520 Categories, correct, And I even lived in a house with 1786 01:39:34.720 --> 01:39:37.760 three other guys, and I can immediately tell you two 1787 01:39:37.840 --> 01:39:40.680 of them that that went on to have successful lives 1788 01:39:40.680 --> 01:39:42.319 and then the one guy that really did not. 1789 01:39:43.680 --> 01:39:46.439 Everybody has a blue dough from animal House. Everybody's got 1790 01:39:46.479 --> 01:39:49.159 a blue do in there, and it's depressing because mine 1791 01:39:49.239 --> 01:39:49.600 is dead. 1792 01:39:50.560 --> 01:39:51.079 So there you go. 1793 01:39:51.239 --> 01:39:52.399 So and I mean mine is not. 1794 01:39:52.640 --> 01:39:55.319 But to that point, it's like, you know, when you're 1795 01:39:55.520 --> 01:39:58.079 in your early twenties, you know, there's a certain amount 1796 01:39:58.079 --> 01:40:00.880 of acceptance we have with that lifestyle while you know 1797 01:40:00.960 --> 01:40:03.359 your forties and fifties, and then it's kind of like, Okay, 1798 01:40:03.399 --> 01:40:04.039 what was going on? 1799 01:40:04.199 --> 01:40:07.840 I gotta tell you. I have a few friends that 1800 01:40:07.960 --> 01:40:11.560 were great friends in my twenties that if I plan 1801 01:40:11.680 --> 01:40:13.079 to see them because they live in a different city, 1802 01:40:13.119 --> 01:40:14.840 so I'm gonna go visit them, and I make sure 1803 01:40:14.880 --> 01:40:16.880 to go see them early in the day. Yeah, cause 1804 01:40:16.880 --> 01:40:18.199 I just I don't want to be a part of it. 1805 01:40:18.319 --> 01:40:22.039 I don't like it. You know, there's nothing worse than 1806 01:40:22.119 --> 01:40:23.800 like a fifty year old sloppy drunk. 1807 01:40:24.359 --> 01:40:26.319 No. And the other side of that, too, is when 1808 01:40:26.399 --> 01:40:29.680 you have elected to either scale back or maybe not 1809 01:40:29.800 --> 01:40:33.000 drink at all. They don't want to be around you either, 1810 01:40:33.159 --> 01:40:35.439 because you're a reminder of the constant reminder of what 1811 01:40:35.520 --> 01:40:37.039 they probably should be doing with their life. 1812 01:40:37.119 --> 01:40:40.119 I actually think younger people are more tolerant of non drinkers. 1813 01:40:40.479 --> 01:40:42.560 Like when we were young, if you have those nightsperens like, look, 1814 01:40:42.560 --> 01:40:44.039 I gotta go to work tomorrow at four o'clock in 1815 01:40:44.039 --> 01:40:46.560 the morning, I'm not drinking. I was like, what, you're 1816 01:40:46.640 --> 01:40:49.560 not drinking? It became a challenge, right, like, oh, I'm 1817 01:40:49.560 --> 01:40:51.640 just going to buy one shot. That doesn't count, but 1818 01:40:51.840 --> 01:40:54.520 yet it all counts. I do think younger people are 1819 01:40:54.600 --> 01:40:57.359 much more tolerant of not drinking, which is great. Yeah, 1820 01:40:57.600 --> 01:40:59.520 you know, and like I said, if you enjoy a 1821 01:40:59.560 --> 01:41:02.600 glass of wine or whatever, just be thoughtful about it, right, 1822 01:41:02.840 --> 01:41:05.399 Just make sure that you're paying attention to what you're 1823 01:41:05.439 --> 01:41:08.039 doing and don't let yourself get to a point where 1824 01:41:08.039 --> 01:41:11.640 you're damaging relationships or your overall health because it's simply 1825 01:41:11.760 --> 01:41:13.560 it's not working. And for the person who's that, aren't 1826 01:41:13.560 --> 01:41:16.000 you And the wine called yogi just contributing to the culture. 1827 01:41:16.359 --> 01:41:19.800 You notice we're not talking about yellowtail chardonnay, right, Like, 1828 01:41:20.479 --> 01:41:23.399 if you're going to do it, Phronsia, Yeah, at least, Hey, 1829 01:41:23.399 --> 01:41:26.399 don't knock the phronsie that got me through right there again. 1830 01:41:28.840 --> 01:41:31.199 You know, that's that's why we talk about really quality wine, 1831 01:41:31.279 --> 01:41:34.640 because you know, I'm not a teetotaler. I don't expect 1832 01:41:34.680 --> 01:41:36.399 people to be a teetotal I'm just asking people to 1833 01:41:36.439 --> 01:41:39.079 be purposeful in their choices, that's all. It's just make 1834 01:41:39.119 --> 01:41:42.359 sure in whatever you do, be purposeful in your choices. Anyway, 1835 01:41:42.800 --> 01:41:45.159 Now it's time for the most exciting segment on the 1836 01:41:45.279 --> 01:41:50.680 radio of its kind in the world of the day. 1837 01:41:51.840 --> 01:41:56.800 All right, I have a dad joke today.
