Speaker 1: about it, thanks Nancy oh Sinry. Didn't mean to step
Speaker 1: on Nancy. I appreciate her approval every day after the blog.
Speaker 2: It means a lot to me.
Speaker 1: There obviously is not a lot on the blog today,
Speaker 1: although there's good stuff on the blog. Because we're done
Speaker 1: in approximately eighteen minutes now, I want to draw your
Speaker 1: attention to a social media post by our governor and
Speaker 1: if you ever ever ever wanted to know why I
Speaker 1: think this guy is probably going to somehow be president
Speaker 1: of the United States. Look no further than this social
Speaker 1: media post about the polling that they just did on
Speaker 1: the Colorado one fifty pedestrian walkway that was supposed to
Speaker 1: celebrate our one hundred and fiftieth anniversary by building a
Speaker 1: super ugly meandering walkway to nowhere. No one wanted this
Speaker 1: at all, and so Jared Polis, realizing that he was
Speaker 1: promoting something that was wildly unpopular, and I do mean
Speaker 1: wildly unpopular, he put up a survey online and said
Speaker 1: I will abide by the survey, and the survey was
Speaker 1: an absolute slaughter. I'm gonna skip to the end of
Speaker 1: his post and then I'm gonna come back to the post.
Speaker 2: In just a moment.
Speaker 1: Over eighty thousand people participated in just five days.
Speaker 2: Now a Rod, did you look at these results yet?
Speaker 2: I have?
Speaker 1: They are yeah, Oh this was this was a a
Speaker 1: just a beyond massacre, right. So out of eighty thousand
Speaker 1: people that voted, eighty two thousand, three hundred and thirteen
Speaker 1: of them voted no, ninety three point nine percent, two
Speaker 1: point three percent said maybe, three point eight percent said yes.
Speaker 1: Total votes eighty seven thousand, six hundred and eighty six.
Speaker 1: It was an absolute she lacking. We hate the bridge,
Speaker 1: We don't want the bridge. The bridge is awful. It's
Speaker 1: maybe the worst idea in the history of ideas. And
Speaker 1: this is what the governor tweeted out about the bridge
Speaker 1: and the survey. He says, color right who took part
Speaker 1: in our online survey have voted not to proceed with
Speaker 1: the Colorado one fifty pedestrian walkway to celebrate our one
Speaker 1: hundred and fiftieth anniversary as a state. Thank you to
Speaker 1: everyone who shared their opinions and voted. I will commit
Speaker 1: my time and effort to prevent this walkway from being built,
Speaker 1: even if I have to chain myself to the Capitol
Speaker 1: Plaza to stop it.
Speaker 2: And then he gives the stats that I just gave you.
Speaker 2: So not only is.
Speaker 1: He saying the people have spoken and there will be
Speaker 1: no bridge, he's also saying I will fight for you, Colorado.
Speaker 1: I will fight to make sure that this terrible, awful,
Speaker 1: no good idea ever it's built.
Speaker 2: I mean, I wonder if he's dizzy from all this spinning.
Speaker 1: But this is a perfect example of why I think
Speaker 1: Jared Polus could be president. Someday, because he operates in
Speaker 1: such a way as to create an alternate reality. And God,
Speaker 1: I hate to break it to you. You in the
Speaker 1: talk radio audience, generally speaking, and this is borne out
Speaker 1: by polling data.
Speaker 2: This has been proved long before I said it on
Speaker 2: the radio.
Speaker 1: People listen to talk radio are smarter than people who don't. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're more informed, you're well informed, you know exactly what's
Speaker 1: going on.
Speaker 2: But the reality is.
Speaker 1: A vast jordy of the other people who are not
Speaker 1: listening to talk radio are gonna see this tweet or
Speaker 1: this social media and they're gonna read it and they're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh good, yeah, Okay, that's not happening.
Speaker 2: Oh he's gonna chain himself to the capitol CLAUSEA. That's cool.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he cares about the people of Colorado. He's counting
Speaker 1: on and it's gonna work. I'm telling you it's gonna work.
Speaker 2: I will say I.
Speaker 1: Kind of like I have a love hate relationship with
Speaker 1: Governor Jared Poulis's x feed because some of it is
Speaker 1: so bad.
Speaker 2: But he has.
Speaker 1: Really leaned in on using AI and photoshop to create
Speaker 1: these pictures that he's using and it's really smart, because
Speaker 1: that gets your stuff seen by more people.
Speaker 2: I'm actually in the process.
Speaker 1: I told you guys, I was using groc every day
Speaker 1: to create an image for the blog. And I'm doing
Speaker 1: that for a couple of weeks, and then I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go back and I'm gonna not do that, and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna see which gets seen more often? You know what
Speaker 1: gets seen more on social media because battling social media algorithms,
Speaker 1: it's a nightmare, and it never ever stops because they're
Speaker 1: always changing them. It's like they want to make it
Speaker 1: harder for us to use their product. I don't understand that.
Speaker 1: It's fine, it's just fine. Anyway, that's on the blog today.
Speaker 1: You can find it there and see it for yourself.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I also have some stuff on the blog that I
Speaker 1: think is really really interesting. I am not going to lie.
Speaker 1: I have not been following along with the Tina Peters
Speaker 1: habeas you know request, I just haven't been following along
Speaker 1: because I don't care. I don't care if Tina Peter
Speaker 1: gets released from prison. I don't care if she stays
Speaker 1: in prison. And it doesn't have anything to do with
Speaker 1: how I feel about Tina Peters. Tina Peters was convicted
Speaker 1: by a Republican prosecutor by a jury for.
Speaker 2: Doing dumb things, and people.
Speaker 1: Want her out of jail because they think her motives
Speaker 1: were true. That only works for Hillary Clinton. Tina Peters
Speaker 1: doesn't get to use that defense. But now, for some reason,
Speaker 1: she is appealing her conviction in state court. Okay, But
Speaker 1: for some reason a federal judge has been dragged in
Speaker 1: to talk about whether or not he could make some
Speaker 1: kind of ruling that would allow her to be released
Speaker 1: under a hebeis corpus claim. Right, But the problem is
Speaker 1: is that it's long been established that the federal court
Speaker 1: system cannot interfere in the state court system. Stuff.
Speaker 2: So I don't know where the this is going. But
Speaker 2: I'm not the only one.
Speaker 1: The judge, the federal judge who is hearing this case
Speaker 1: from the bench, has been expressing his confusion.
Speaker 2: He said, listen to these questions from the judge.
Speaker 1: Are they under bond? Are they under a state court bond?
Speaker 1: Are they supervised by federal pre trial release? What if
Speaker 1: a petitioner violates that bond? Can the state court revoke
Speaker 1: the bond? Do I revoke the bond?
Speaker 2: What do we do?
Speaker 1: And these are the questions I have, he said, I
Speaker 1: haven't come across and I don't think petitioner has cited
Speaker 1: a single case ever in the history of the United
Speaker 1: States where a federal court granted habeas on an appeal bond.
Speaker 1: So this is not you know, it's just this whole
Speaker 1: thing is just insane, absolutely insane.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So that that conversation, this this hearing ended with the
Speaker 1: judge asking both of the attorneys, the prosecution and the defense,
Speaker 1: has Peters adequately presented her arguments for release pending appeal
Speaker 1: to the Court of Appeals prior to raising those grounds
Speaker 1: in federal court. She has, and that appeal is pending.
Speaker 1: This is just a giant mess, and it's a political
Speaker 1: mess because we're Tina Peters, not on the side of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. There's no way that this would be happening
Speaker 1: right now with a federal judge. So we'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: But I don't think Tina is going to getting out
Speaker 1: of jail anytime soon, as the judge tries to sort
Speaker 1: out whether or not he even has the right to
Speaker 1: let her out, which is fascinating, I mean, really really fascinating.
Speaker 1: Phil Wiser has picked a fight another one and this
Speaker 1: one could be very interesting. Phil Wiser's launched a probe
Speaker 1: into four law enforcement agencies in Colorado, including the Colorado
Speaker 1: State Patrol.
Speaker 2: What is he looking for?
Speaker 1: Well, he's up set because they pulled over. Mason County
Speaker 1: Sheriff's deputy pulled over a woman from Utah in early
Speaker 1: June because she was tailgating a truck. She then, well,
Speaker 1: I guess in the process of giving her a ticket.
Speaker 1: He then shared her personal information with the Department of
Speaker 1: Homeland Security. So Caroline Dias Guncalvese. She's a nineteen year
Speaker 1: old nursing student who came to US from Brazil as
Speaker 1: a child with her family. She's now applied for asylum.
Speaker 1: She got pulled over. He used a signaled chat to
Speaker 1: share her license plate number in her car's description because
Speaker 1: he said she may be in the country without documentation.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Phil Wiser said that the law enforcement information shared with
Speaker 1: federal immigration authorities could be a direct violation of state
Speaker 1: laws passed last year. Those laws specifically prohibit Colorado State,
Speaker 1: County and local employees from disclosing personal identifying information for
Speaker 1: the purpose of investigating, for participating, in cooperating with, or
Speaker 1: assisting in federal immigration enforcement. But is that law legal
Speaker 1: when you start talking about supremacy of the federal government,
Speaker 1: that's the question. So what is going to happen? Is
Speaker 1: he going to put these people in jail? That's what
Speaker 1: I want to know.
Speaker 2: What does he think? I mean, what are we going
Speaker 2: to do here?
Speaker 1: Because if I am this law enforcement officer, I'm going
Speaker 1: to fight this and I don't know how it would
Speaker 1: make it its way up to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2: But why wouldn't it?
Speaker 1: These laws are clearly not clearly otherwise I would be
Speaker 1: able to say clearly, but they're not. They don't make
Speaker 1: a lot of sense when it comes down to the
Speaker 1: federal supremacy clause.
Speaker 2: It really doesn't. So what are we supposed to do
Speaker 2: with all this?
Speaker 1: So it is a very interesting thing that's going on.
Speaker 1: I got an email from a Texter or an emailer
Speaker 1: this morning. We said, Mandy, this case could feasibly end
Speaker 1: up at the Supreme Court somehow.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I could. I don't know. We'll have
Speaker 2: to wait and see. But Colorado, I'm dying to know.
Speaker 1: I have a story on the blog today about how
Speaker 1: Colorado will excuse me, California, Minnesota, and Illinois have ended
Speaker 1: Medicaid for people who do not have legal status. Right,
Speaker 1: They've just ended it, you know why, because they couldn't afford.
Speaker 2: To take the hit.
Speaker 1: Colorado is preparing to take the same hit.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, what are we going to do here?
Speaker 2: We have states?
Speaker 1: By the way, Louisville, Kentucky also run by Democrats for
Speaker 1: the longest time.
Speaker 2: I know that because I live there.
Speaker 1: They have ended their sanctuary policies in Louisville just repealed
Speaker 1: them all because they were tagged a sanctuary city and
Speaker 1: the federal government was like, hey, yeah, whatever money you
Speaker 1: think you're getting, you're not getting it. And Louisville folded
Speaker 1: like a cheap suit. I mean, just bam doing over nothing.
Speaker 1: To see what happens in Colorado. We are we so
Speaker 1: wedded to the virtue signaling that our mayor Mike Johnson
Speaker 1: loves to talk about.
Speaker 2: We're a welcoming city. We welcome people. It doesn't matter
Speaker 2: if they're here illegally or illegally, we welcome them.
Speaker 1: Is it more important for Denver and Colorado to be
Speaker 1: seen as a welcoming city or is it more important
Speaker 1: that we're able to pay our bills and not cut
Speaker 1: services and not fire employees. Now, don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: I'd love to see and no offense if you are
Speaker 1: a state employee. But I'd love to see our state
Speaker 1: government roles trimmed quite a bit. They've grown exponentially in
Speaker 1: the last nine years. But that being said, is Colorado
Speaker 1: so worried about looking good and being able to talk
Speaker 1: at their boulder cocktail parties about how welcoming and warmed
Speaker 1: they are as they hire security to keep the great
Speaker 1: underwashed masses out of there.
Speaker 2: Just saying.
Speaker 1: Mandy, My exact thoughts were that he set this dumb
Speaker 1: ugly walkway project up to show he listens to people
Speaker 1: he knew would fail, and then listen to the voters.
Speaker 1: Props to Polis for master manipulation, says this Texter. I
Speaker 1: actually think there's something to that, but not for that reason.
Speaker 1: I think we've got a special session coming up, We've
Speaker 1: got Denver laying off people, We've got all kinds of stuff,
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff going on here that he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to talk about.
Speaker 2: So why not gin.
Speaker 1: Up this idiotic bridge to nowhere that everyone's gonna hate,
Speaker 1: Get everybody talking about that, and then we don't talk
Speaker 1: about the other stuff, right. I mean, it's a classic move.
Speaker 1: It's very effective, very very effective. Great column on the
Speaker 1: blog today by Joshua Scharff at Complete Colorado, page two,
Speaker 1: although we have page two anymore now, it's just Complete
Speaker 1: Colorado and the Headlight, Colorado's auto theft capital gives a
Speaker 1: green light to car thieves. He starts the column by
Speaker 1: sharing about how his car was stolen out of his driveway.
Speaker 1: But then it gets better. Colorado, says Joshua Sharf, is
Speaker 1: now routine lee one of the three worst states in
Speaker 1: the country per capita for car theft. Denver Aurora Centennial
Speaker 1: is the seventh worst metro area in the country. It
Speaker 1: rated four hundred and thirty fifts per one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 1: That was an improvement from twenty twenty three, when we
Speaker 1: were the worst state overall with five hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: three thefts per hundred thousand people. According to the FBI's
Speaker 1: Crime Data Explorer, from nineteen eighty five until about two thousand,
Speaker 1: Colorado averaged about one thousand stolen cars per month. Increasing
Speaker 1: population and recession pushed that number slowly upward to briefly
Speaker 1: touch two thousand in two thousand and six, before returning
Speaker 1: to the previous average for another decade. Then, in twenty fourteen,
Speaker 1: the Colorado legislature, without any dissenting votes, passed a law
Speaker 1: to tie the level of criminal mischief for car theft
Speaker 1: to the value of the car stolen, while lowering the
Speaker 1: overall penalties. The sliding scale of punishment not only encouraged
Speaker 1: more theft, but it also encouraged thieves to pick on
Speaker 1: poor and working class people, and so unsurprisingly, carthift began
Speaker 1: to rise again. In Denver reported theft's climb to nearly
Speaker 1: fifteen thousand a year in twenty twenty two, fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: in Denver.
Speaker 2: Finally officials started to take action.
Speaker 1: Theft rights have finally dropped after legislatures in the city
Speaker 1: of Aurora enacted things like mandatory minimum sentences, and the
Speaker 1: state legislature finally did an about face. Theft rates have
Speaker 1: declined significantly to about three thousand per month statewide eighty
Speaker 1: six hundred annually in Denver, But those numbers are still insane.
Speaker 1: Why did you care about this? Why do you think
Speaker 1: your auto insurance is so expensive? That is why we
Speaker 1: have two things in Colorado. We used to just have
Speaker 1: one thing. Which was hail damage.
Speaker 2: Hale.
Speaker 1: We can't do anything about until I find someone who's
Speaker 1: willing to run out into the parking lot and throw
Speaker 1: their bodies over my car in every hailstorm.
Speaker 2: We're just gonna have to deal with Hale.
Speaker 1: Right, it would be nice if we had more covered parking,
Speaker 1: like at the iHeart Studios. I'm just saying, but the
Speaker 1: reality is we can't control Hale, but we should be
Speaker 1: able to do a better job controlling car thefs. And
Speaker 1: here's the other kicker. The car thefts aren't just to
Speaker 1: take the cars and sell them, right, that would be lovely.
Speaker 1: Just take the cars, chop them up, sell them, do
Speaker 1: whatever you're gonna do. But that's not how it works.
Speaker 1: How it works is they steal the car and then
Speaker 1: you to commit other crimes.
Speaker 2: Spoiler alert.
Speaker 1: In the column, they did catch the guy who stole
Speaker 1: Joshua's car, and he is pressing charges. And that's the
Speaker 1: only way to stop this. Press charges. Make sure people
Speaker 1: who steal cars go to jail, not after they steal
Speaker 1: the second and third car. As Bill Wiser Ones famously
Speaker 1: said before that read the whole thing. It's very very interesting. Now,
Speaker 1: if you've heard Rich Guggenheim on the show before I
Speaker 1: want to give a special shout out because he has
Speaker 1: written a book and just the cover art alone is
Speaker 1: worth the purchase, even if you buy it on Kendall.
Speaker 1: It's called Escaping the Rainbow Plantation. Gay rights activist Rich
Speaker 1: Gugenheim exposes that gender ideology hijack the LGB movement, medicalized kids,
Speaker 1: and corrupted institutions.
Speaker 2: You can buy it at the.
Speaker 1: Link on my blog today at mandy'sblog dot com. That
Speaker 1: music means that it's time to make way for the Rockies.
Speaker 1: They will be playing the Saint Louis Cardinals and good
Speaker 1: news you get to see Nolan aeronauto with Course Field again.
Speaker 1: We'll be back tomorrow or I won't. I'll be back Friday.
