33
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>about it, thanks Nancy oh Sinry. Didn't mean to step

34
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>on Nancy. I appreciate her approval every day after the blog.

35
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 2>It means a lot to me.

36
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:10.439
<v Speaker 1>There obviously is not a lot on the blog today,

37
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 1>although there's good stuff on the blog. Because we're done

38
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>in approximately eighteen minutes now, I want to draw your

39
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>attention to a social media post by our governor and

40
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>if you ever ever ever wanted to know why I

41
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:28.719
<v Speaker 1>think this guy is probably going to somehow be president

42
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of the United States. Look no further than this social

43
00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:35.879
<v Speaker 1>media post about the polling that they just did on

44
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>the Colorado one fifty pedestrian walkway that was supposed to

45
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 1>celebrate our one hundred and fiftieth anniversary by building a

46
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:48.439
<v Speaker 1>super ugly meandering walkway to nowhere. No one wanted this

47
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>at all, and so Jared Polis, realizing that he was

48
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>promoting something that was wildly unpopular, and I do mean

49
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>wildly unpopular, he put up a survey online and said

50
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 1>I will abide by the survey, and the survey was

51
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.439
<v Speaker 1>an absolute slaughter. I'm gonna skip to the end of

52
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>his post and then I'm gonna come back to the post.

53
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:10.639
<v Speaker 2>In just a moment.

54
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:15.439
<v Speaker 1>Over eighty thousand people participated in just five days.

55
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:17.560
<v Speaker 2>Now a Rod, did you look at these results yet?

56
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 2>I have?

57
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:22.719
<v Speaker 1>They are yeah, Oh this was this was a a

58
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.680
<v Speaker 1>just a beyond massacre, right. So out of eighty thousand

59
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:31.400
<v Speaker 1>people that voted, eighty two thousand, three hundred and thirteen

60
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.680
<v Speaker 1>of them voted no, ninety three point nine percent, two

61
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>point three percent said maybe, three point eight percent said yes.

62
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.479
<v Speaker 1>Total votes eighty seven thousand, six hundred and eighty six.

63
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>It was an absolute she lacking. We hate the bridge,

64
00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.319
<v Speaker 1>We don't want the bridge. The bridge is awful. It's

65
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe the worst idea in the history of ideas. And

66
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>this is what the governor tweeted out about the bridge

67
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 1>and the survey. He says, color right who took part

68
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 1>in our online survey have voted not to proceed with

69
00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.319
<v Speaker 1>the Colorado one fifty pedestrian walkway to celebrate our one

70
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fiftieth anniversary as a state. Thank you to

71
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.199
<v Speaker 1>everyone who shared their opinions and voted. I will commit

72
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:17.759
<v Speaker 1>my time and effort to prevent this walkway from being built,

73
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:20.680
<v Speaker 1>even if I have to chain myself to the Capitol

74
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>Plaza to stop it.

75
00:04:22.759 --> 00:04:24.519
<v Speaker 2>And then he gives the stats that I just gave you.

76
00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.839
<v Speaker 2>So not only is.

77
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 1>He saying the people have spoken and there will be

78
00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>no bridge, he's also saying I will fight for you, Colorado.

79
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 1>I will fight to make sure that this terrible, awful,

80
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.079
<v Speaker 1>no good idea ever it's built.

81
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wonder if he's dizzy from all this spinning.

82
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>But this is a perfect example of why I think

83
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:55.519
<v Speaker 1>Jared Polus could be president. Someday, because he operates in

84
00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 1>such a way as to create an alternate reality. And God,

85
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.800
<v Speaker 1>I hate to break it to you. You in the

86
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>talk radio audience, generally speaking, and this is borne out

87
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>by polling data.

88
00:05:05.879 --> 00:05:08.240
<v Speaker 2>This has been proved long before I said it on

89
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>the radio.

90
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:13.800
<v Speaker 1>People listen to talk radio are smarter than people who don't. Okay,

91
00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you're more informed, you're well informed, you know exactly what's

92
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:18.399
<v Speaker 1>going on.

93
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>But the reality is.

94
00:05:21.319 --> 00:05:24.879
<v Speaker 1>A vast jordy of the other people who are not

95
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 1>listening to talk radio are gonna see this tweet or

96
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:30.920
<v Speaker 1>this social media and they're gonna read it and they're

97
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like, oh good, yeah, Okay, that's not happening.

98
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:36.439
<v Speaker 2>Oh he's gonna chain himself to the capitol CLAUSEA. That's cool.

99
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he cares about the people of Colorado. He's counting

100
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:45.319
<v Speaker 1>on and it's gonna work. I'm telling you it's gonna work.

101
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 2>I will say I.

102
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Kind of like I have a love hate relationship with

103
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Governor Jared Poulis's x feed because some of it is

104
00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>so bad.

105
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:56.920
<v Speaker 2>But he has.

106
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:01.839
<v Speaker 1>Really leaned in on using AI and photoshop to create

107
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 1>these pictures that he's using and it's really smart, because

108
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>that gets your stuff seen by more people.

109
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually in the process.

110
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:11.800
<v Speaker 1>I told you guys, I was using groc every day

111
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 1>to create an image for the blog. And I'm doing

112
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:17.600
<v Speaker 1>that for a couple of weeks, and then I'm gonna

113
00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 1>go back and I'm gonna not do that, and I'm

114
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.399
<v Speaker 1>gonna see which gets seen more often? You know what

115
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.839
<v Speaker 1>gets seen more on social media because battling social media algorithms,

116
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a nightmare, and it never ever stops because they're

117
00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:31.519
<v Speaker 1>always changing them. It's like they want to make it

118
00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.480
<v Speaker 1>harder for us to use their product. I don't understand that.

119
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:40.439
<v Speaker 1>It's fine, it's just fine. Anyway, that's on the blog today.

120
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>You can find it there and see it for yourself.

121
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 2>Now.

122
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>I also have some stuff on the blog that I

123
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:48.079
<v Speaker 1>think is really really interesting. I am not going to lie.

124
00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I have not been following along with the Tina Peters

125
00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>habeas you know request, I just haven't been following along

126
00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.920
<v Speaker 1>because I don't care. I don't care if Tina Peter

127
00:07:00.120 --> 00:07:02.040
<v Speaker 1>gets released from prison. I don't care if she stays

128
00:07:02.040 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 1>in prison. And it doesn't have anything to do with

129
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:07.759
<v Speaker 1>how I feel about Tina Peters. Tina Peters was convicted

130
00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>by a Republican prosecutor by a jury for.

131
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Doing dumb things, and people.

132
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>Want her out of jail because they think her motives

133
00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>were true. That only works for Hillary Clinton. Tina Peters

134
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:27.959
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get to use that defense. But now, for some reason,

135
00:07:29.040 --> 00:07:34.040
<v Speaker 1>she is appealing her conviction in state court. Okay, But

136
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 1>for some reason a federal judge has been dragged in

137
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:41.000
<v Speaker 1>to talk about whether or not he could make some

138
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.639
<v Speaker 1>kind of ruling that would allow her to be released

139
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:49.199
<v Speaker 1>under a hebeis corpus claim. Right, But the problem is

140
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:52.120
<v Speaker 1>is that it's long been established that the federal court

141
00:07:52.199 --> 00:07:55.920
<v Speaker 1>system cannot interfere in the state court system. Stuff.

142
00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:00.639
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know where the this is going. But

143
00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:01.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the only one.

144
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>The judge, the federal judge who is hearing this case

145
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:12.079
<v Speaker 1>from the bench, has been expressing his confusion.

146
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.639
<v Speaker 2>He said, listen to these questions from the judge.

147
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Are they under bond? Are they under a state court bond?

148
00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Are they supervised by federal pre trial release? What if

149
00:08:22.600 --> 00:08:25.639
<v Speaker 1>a petitioner violates that bond? Can the state court revoke

150
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:27.439
<v Speaker 1>the bond? Do I revoke the bond?

151
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:28.000
<v Speaker 2>What do we do?

152
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:30.879
<v Speaker 1>And these are the questions I have, he said, I

153
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:34.440
<v Speaker 1>haven't come across and I don't think petitioner has cited

154
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.960
<v Speaker 1>a single case ever in the history of the United

155
00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>States where a federal court granted habeas on an appeal bond.

156
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:47.159
<v Speaker 1>So this is not you know, it's just this whole

157
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.919
<v Speaker 1>thing is just insane, absolutely insane.

158
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:52.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay.

159
00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:58.080
<v Speaker 1>So that that conversation, this this hearing ended with the

160
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 1>judge asking both of the attorneys, the prosecution and the defense,

161
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 1>has Peters adequately presented her arguments for release pending appeal

162
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>to the Court of Appeals prior to raising those grounds

163
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>in federal court. She has, and that appeal is pending.

164
00:09:17.480 --> 00:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>This is just a giant mess, and it's a political

165
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.720
<v Speaker 1>mess because we're Tina Peters, not on the side of

166
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump. There's no way that this would be happening

167
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 1>right now with a federal judge. So we'll see what happens.

168
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 1>But I don't think Tina is going to getting out

169
00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:35.639
<v Speaker 1>of jail anytime soon, as the judge tries to sort

170
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:38.440
<v Speaker 1>out whether or not he even has the right to

171
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.440
<v Speaker 1>let her out, which is fascinating, I mean, really really fascinating.

172
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:46.879
<v Speaker 1>Phil Wiser has picked a fight another one and this

173
00:09:46.919 --> 00:09:51.879
<v Speaker 1>one could be very interesting. Phil Wiser's launched a probe

174
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>into four law enforcement agencies in Colorado, including the Colorado

175
00:09:55.320 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>State Patrol.

176
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:57.919
<v Speaker 2>What is he looking for?

177
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's up set because they pulled over. Mason County

178
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Sheriff's deputy pulled over a woman from Utah in early

179
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:12.759
<v Speaker 1>June because she was tailgating a truck. She then, well,

180
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I guess in the process of giving her a ticket.

181
00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>He then shared her personal information with the Department of

182
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Homeland Security. So Caroline Dias Guncalvese. She's a nineteen year

183
00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:30.399
<v Speaker 1>old nursing student who came to US from Brazil as

184
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>a child with her family. She's now applied for asylum.

185
00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:38.600
<v Speaker 1>She got pulled over. He used a signaled chat to

186
00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:41.519
<v Speaker 1>share her license plate number in her car's description because

187
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.320
<v Speaker 1>he said she may be in the country without documentation.

188
00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:46.200
<v Speaker 2>Now.

189
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Phil Wiser said that the law enforcement information shared with

190
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:53.399
<v Speaker 1>federal immigration authorities could be a direct violation of state

191
00:10:53.480 --> 00:10:58.840
<v Speaker 1>laws passed last year. Those laws specifically prohibit Colorado State,

192
00:10:58.879 --> 00:11:02.759
<v Speaker 1>County and local employees from disclosing personal identifying information for

193
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:08.159
<v Speaker 1>the purpose of investigating, for participating, in cooperating with, or

194
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 1>assisting in federal immigration enforcement. But is that law legal

195
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>when you start talking about supremacy of the federal government,

196
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:25.679
<v Speaker 1>that's the question. So what is going to happen? Is

197
00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>he going to put these people in jail? That's what

198
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I want to know.

199
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 2>What does he think? I mean, what are we going

200
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:32.039
<v Speaker 2>to do here?

201
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Because if I am this law enforcement officer, I'm going

202
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to fight this and I don't know how it would

203
00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:42.840
<v Speaker 1>make it its way up to the Supreme Court.

204
00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>But why wouldn't it?

205
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>These laws are clearly not clearly otherwise I would be

206
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:50.799
<v Speaker 1>able to say clearly, but they're not. They don't make

207
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 1>a lot of sense when it comes down to the

208
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:54.879
<v Speaker 1>federal supremacy clause.

209
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 2>It really doesn't. So what are we supposed to do

210
00:11:57.720 --> 00:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>with all this?

211
00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:05.240
<v Speaker 1>So it is a very interesting thing that's going on.

212
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 1>I got an email from a Texter or an emailer

213
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.679
<v Speaker 1>this morning. We said, Mandy, this case could feasibly end

214
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:14.879
<v Speaker 1>up at the Supreme Court somehow.

215
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yeah, I could. I don't know. We'll have

216
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:21.120
<v Speaker 2>to wait and see. But Colorado, I'm dying to know.

217
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I have a story on the blog today about how

218
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Colorado will excuse me, California, Minnesota, and Illinois have ended

219
00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Medicaid for people who do not have legal status. Right,

220
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>They've just ended it, you know why, because they couldn't afford.

221
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:40.440
<v Speaker 2>To take the hit.

222
00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Colorado is preparing to take the same hit.

223
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm just saying, what are we going to do here?

224
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:53.559
<v Speaker 2>We have states?

225
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>By the way, Louisville, Kentucky also run by Democrats for

226
00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the longest time.

227
00:12:58.080 --> 00:12:59.240
<v Speaker 2>I know that because I live there.

228
00:13:00.799 --> 00:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>They have ended their sanctuary policies in Louisville just repealed

229
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.039
<v Speaker 1>them all because they were tagged a sanctuary city and

230
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the federal government was like, hey, yeah, whatever money you

231
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>think you're getting, you're not getting it. And Louisville folded

232
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 1>like a cheap suit. I mean, just bam doing over nothing.

233
00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.159
<v Speaker 1>To see what happens in Colorado. We are we so

234
00:13:22.360 --> 00:13:26.120
<v Speaker 1>wedded to the virtue signaling that our mayor Mike Johnson

235
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 1>loves to talk about.

236
00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>We're a welcoming city. We welcome people. It doesn't matter

237
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.399
<v Speaker 2>if they're here illegally or illegally, we welcome them.

238
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Is it more important for Denver and Colorado to be

239
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 1>seen as a welcoming city or is it more important

240
00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:45.519
<v Speaker 1>that we're able to pay our bills and not cut

241
00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.320
<v Speaker 1>services and not fire employees. Now, don't get me wrong,

242
00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I'd love to see and no offense if you are

243
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.799
<v Speaker 1>a state employee. But I'd love to see our state

244
00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:57.720
<v Speaker 1>government roles trimmed quite a bit. They've grown exponentially in

245
00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:03.519
<v Speaker 1>the last nine years. But that being said, is Colorado

246
00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>so worried about looking good and being able to talk

247
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>at their boulder cocktail parties about how welcoming and warmed

248
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:15.720
<v Speaker 1>they are as they hire security to keep the great

249
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:17.200
<v Speaker 1>underwashed masses out of there.

250
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Just saying.

251
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:23.559
<v Speaker 1>Mandy, My exact thoughts were that he set this dumb

252
00:14:23.679 --> 00:14:26.799
<v Speaker 1>ugly walkway project up to show he listens to people

253
00:14:27.080 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>he knew would fail, and then listen to the voters.

254
00:14:29.919 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 1>Props to Polis for master manipulation, says this Texter. I

255
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.159
<v Speaker 1>actually think there's something to that, but not for that reason.

256
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I think we've got a special session coming up, We've

257
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.480
<v Speaker 1>got Denver laying off people, We've got all kinds of stuff,

258
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:47.039
<v Speaker 1>all kinds of stuff going on here that he doesn't

259
00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:47.799
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about.

260
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:50.480
<v Speaker 2>So why not gin.

261
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Up this idiotic bridge to nowhere that everyone's gonna hate,

262
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:55.120
<v Speaker 1>Get everybody talking about that, and then we don't talk

263
00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>about the other stuff, right. I mean, it's a classic move.

264
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:02.320
<v Speaker 1>It's very effective, very very effective. Great column on the

265
00:15:02.320 --> 00:15:06.279
<v Speaker 1>blog today by Joshua Scharff at Complete Colorado, page two,

266
00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>although we have page two anymore now, it's just Complete

267
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Colorado and the Headlight, Colorado's auto theft capital gives a

268
00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:17.000
<v Speaker 1>green light to car thieves. He starts the column by

269
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:19.519
<v Speaker 1>sharing about how his car was stolen out of his driveway.

270
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.759
<v Speaker 1>But then it gets better. Colorado, says Joshua Sharf, is

271
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.879
<v Speaker 1>now routine lee one of the three worst states in

272
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:30.399
<v Speaker 1>the country per capita for car theft. Denver Aurora Centennial

273
00:15:30.759 --> 00:15:35.080
<v Speaker 1>is the seventh worst metro area in the country. It

274
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.879
<v Speaker 1>rated four hundred and thirty fifts per one hundred thousand people.

275
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.840
<v Speaker 1>That was an improvement from twenty twenty three, when we

276
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>were the worst state overall with five hundred and eighty

277
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:48.879
<v Speaker 1>three thefts per hundred thousand people. According to the FBI's

278
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Crime Data Explorer, from nineteen eighty five until about two thousand,

279
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Colorado averaged about one thousand stolen cars per month. Increasing

280
00:15:57.039 --> 00:16:01.159
<v Speaker 1>population and recession pushed that number slowly upward to briefly

281
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:05.399
<v Speaker 1>touch two thousand in two thousand and six, before returning

282
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:10.039
<v Speaker 1>to the previous average for another decade. Then, in twenty fourteen,

283
00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the Colorado legislature, without any dissenting votes, passed a law

284
00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to tie the level of criminal mischief for car theft

285
00:16:16.759 --> 00:16:20.080
<v Speaker 1>to the value of the car stolen, while lowering the

286
00:16:20.159 --> 00:16:23.960
<v Speaker 1>overall penalties. The sliding scale of punishment not only encouraged

287
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.919
<v Speaker 1>more theft, but it also encouraged thieves to pick on

288
00:16:27.000 --> 00:16:31.399
<v Speaker 1>poor and working class people, and so unsurprisingly, carthift began

289
00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>to rise again. In Denver reported theft's climb to nearly

290
00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:43.799
<v Speaker 1>fifteen thousand a year in twenty twenty two, fifteen thousand

291
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:45.039
<v Speaker 1>in Denver.

292
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.279
<v Speaker 2>Finally officials started to take action.

293
00:16:49.639 --> 00:16:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Theft rights have finally dropped after legislatures in the city

294
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.799
<v Speaker 1>of Aurora enacted things like mandatory minimum sentences, and the

295
00:16:56.840 --> 00:17:01.960
<v Speaker 1>state legislature finally did an about face. Theft rates have

296
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.039
<v Speaker 1>declined significantly to about three thousand per month statewide eighty

297
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:10.160
<v Speaker 1>six hundred annually in Denver, But those numbers are still insane.

298
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Why did you care about this? Why do you think

299
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:18.400
<v Speaker 1>your auto insurance is so expensive? That is why we

300
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.920
<v Speaker 1>have two things in Colorado. We used to just have

301
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:22.599
<v Speaker 1>one thing. Which was hail damage.

302
00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Hale.

303
00:17:23.400 --> 00:17:25.960
<v Speaker 1>We can't do anything about until I find someone who's

304
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.279
<v Speaker 1>willing to run out into the parking lot and throw

305
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:30.480
<v Speaker 1>their bodies over my car in every hailstorm.

306
00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.160
<v Speaker 2>We're just gonna have to deal with Hale.

307
00:17:32.279 --> 00:17:35.079
<v Speaker 1>Right, it would be nice if we had more covered parking,

308
00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:39.599
<v Speaker 1>like at the iHeart Studios. I'm just saying, but the

309
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.599
<v Speaker 1>reality is we can't control Hale, but we should be

310
00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:46.440
<v Speaker 1>able to do a better job controlling car thefs. And

311
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.599
<v Speaker 1>here's the other kicker. The car thefts aren't just to

312
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:52.000
<v Speaker 1>take the cars and sell them, right, that would be lovely.

313
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Just take the cars, chop them up, sell them, do

314
00:17:53.680 --> 00:17:56.599
<v Speaker 1>whatever you're gonna do. But that's not how it works.

315
00:17:57.480 --> 00:17:59.759
<v Speaker 1>How it works is they steal the car and then

316
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:01.359
<v Speaker 1>you to commit other crimes.

317
00:18:01.359 --> 00:18:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Spoiler alert.

318
00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:04.839
<v Speaker 1>In the column, they did catch the guy who stole

319
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Joshua's car, and he is pressing charges. And that's the

320
00:18:09.920 --> 00:18:13.400
<v Speaker 1>only way to stop this. Press charges. Make sure people

321
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 1>who steal cars go to jail, not after they steal

322
00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>the second and third car. As Bill Wiser Ones famously

323
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:23.279
<v Speaker 1>said before that read the whole thing. It's very very interesting. Now,

324
00:18:23.279 --> 00:18:26.400
<v Speaker 1>if you've heard Rich Guggenheim on the show before I

325
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 1>want to give a special shout out because he has

326
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:33.559
<v Speaker 1>written a book and just the cover art alone is

327
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:36.000
<v Speaker 1>worth the purchase, even if you buy it on Kendall.

328
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:40.519
<v Speaker 1>It's called Escaping the Rainbow Plantation. Gay rights activist Rich

329
00:18:40.559 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 1>Gugenheim exposes that gender ideology hijack the LGB movement, medicalized kids,

330
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.480
<v Speaker 1>and corrupted institutions.

331
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:48.759
<v Speaker 2>You can buy it at the.

332
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Link on my blog today at mandy'sblog dot com. That

333
00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:55.880
<v Speaker 1>music means that it's time to make way for the Rockies.

334
00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:58.400
<v Speaker 1>They will be playing the Saint Louis Cardinals and good

335
00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:00.920
<v Speaker 1>news you get to see Nolan aeronauto with Course Field again.

336
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:04.359
