She's 194 00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.960 not out there saying we need to re litigate twenty twenty. 195 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:11.360 That is not what this is about. This is about. 196 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.240 Securing our elections going forward, which every single person, regardless 197 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.919 of party, should want. You should want secure elections period. 198 00:09:21.320 --> 00:09:23.480 There should be no other way to do this. We're 199 00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:26.639 really one of the few developed countries in the world 200 00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.919 that doesn't have an ID requirement that allows the kind 201 00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:31.799 of mail in voting that we do, where you don't 202 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:33.919 even have to ask for a ballot in Colorado, they just. 203 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:34.519 Send them to you. 204 00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:38.879 And she's grown some pretty significant irregularities that need to 205 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:42.120 be addressed, so of course Jennia Griswell's. 206 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.159 Going to ignore them the height. 207 00:09:44.200 --> 00:09:45.559 He's going to be on a twelve thirty to talk 208 00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:47.600 about some of those issues. And then at one o'clock, 209 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:49.960 I have a guy named Steve ee Rash. He is 210 00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.440 running for State House District fifty two in Fort Collins. 211 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:58.519 He is not a Republican, he is not a Democrat. 212 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:02.360 He is a member of of this Center Party. The 213 00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:05.960 Center Party is an official minor party in Colorado. I 214 00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:07.519 had Steve on a couple of years ago when he 215 00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:09.840 was starting the party now as an official minor party, 216 00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:12.879 and I'm going to have him on because there isn't 217 00:10:12.919 --> 00:10:16.399 a Republican in that race. So I would encourage you, 218 00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:18.759 if you are in District fifty two to vote for 219 00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:21.639 Steve your rash in that district. He's running against a 220 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:27.720 really progressive opponent, and Steve is running a very moderate 221 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:33.039 campaign some would say, some would say a groundbreaking campaign 222 00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:39.480 where he has openly advocated for policies that would traditionally 223 00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.559 be associated with the right or left, and. 224 00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:43.840 He's got a mix of them. 225 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:48.200 Now, I'm just going to talk about this not having 226 00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:51.200 a Republican in House District fifty two for one second, 227 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:58.480 just to reiterate that the person that the Republican Central 228 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:02.600 Committee seems to want to leave in charge has basically 229 00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.000 three jobs. The chairman of the party has three jobs. 230 00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:11.360 Number one, raise money. Number two, support Republican candidates and 231 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:15.519 help them get elected. Number three make sure that they're 232 00:11:15.519 --> 00:11:18.759 a vacancy committee meetings to find people to run where 233 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:21.720 there are vacant seats or fine to run in every race. 234 00:11:22.039 --> 00:11:25.759 This is just another example of his failure to do 235 00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:29.639 even the most basic part of his job. He hasn't 236 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:32.039 been raising money, and the money that he has raised 237 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.759 is pretty much gone into his own pocket or gone 238 00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:37.519 to support his failed candidacy in the fifth Congressional district. 239 00:11:37.639 --> 00:11:40.480 Certainly didn't go to finding a candidate for State House 240 00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.639 District fifty two. But I hope you like Steve because 241 00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:47.279 he is the best choice for that district. So let's 242 00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.320 do this. We've got a couple of things that are 243 00:11:49.440 --> 00:11:52.960 they're not like, they're not big, like you know, big 244 00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.240 talk topics per se. 245 00:11:54.919 --> 00:11:55.919 But I'm kind of. 246 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.159 Stuck on this right now. 247 00:11:58.519 --> 00:12:02.720 I mean stuck on this story because I want to. 248 00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:04.039 Know the rest of the story. 249 00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:10.039 The RTD chief, former RTD police Chief Jewel Fitzgerald, we 250 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:15.279 now know was fired by RTD. RTD will not tell 251 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:19.279 anyone why he was fired, and yet they're required to 252 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:23.919 report to Colorado's Peace Officer Standards and Training Database, which 253 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:28.320 shows the employment and disciplinary status of Colorado law enforcement officers. 254 00:12:28.679 --> 00:12:32.360 It showed that Fitzgerald had been terminated for cause. The 255 00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:37.519 Colorado Attorney General's office oversees the post board, so CBS 256 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:42.559 four sent over an open records request asking for any 257 00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:46.240 open records about the termination or separation of Joel Fitzgerald, 258 00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:53.559 and RTD said they don't have any information any documents 259 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:58.679 that respond to that. So apparently no discussion, no discussion 260 00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:01.360 in any way, shape or form, on any email anywhere 261 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:03.759 about the chief being fired exists. 262 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:08.399 What the hell, you guys, what is going on. 263 00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:10.399 Now? 264 00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:17.799 I happen to live under the mindset and if you're 265 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:19.559 a law enforcement officer, he may not like this, but 266 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:23.759 hear me out. I believe that law enforcement officers who 267 00:13:23.799 --> 00:13:26.440 carry a gun and have the potential to end someone's 268 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:30.720 life in the course of their duties should be held 269 00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:34.360 to a higher standard when it comes to things like this, 270 00:13:36.039 --> 00:13:39.080 and this guy, because we don't know what it was, 271 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:42.000 could easily get hired by someone else. It seems to 272 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:44.759 me that once you reach a certain level in law enforcement, 273 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:47.600 finding a commensurate job like that in another state is 274 00:13:47.639 --> 00:13:48.559 really not that hard. 275 00:13:49.799 --> 00:13:51.919 So why are we not being open about why this 276 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.440 guy was fired? What did he do? 277 00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.320 Shouldn't we all get to understand what our tax dollars 278 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:00.840 paid for and why they are no longer paying for that. 279 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.799 I mean, don't even get me started on the mess 280 00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.600 that security is with RTD right now. You want to 281 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.759 know why people don't run and ride the lightrail because 282 00:14:09.799 --> 00:14:10.879 they don't want to be on the light reel with 283 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.600 people smoking mess, that's a big reason. 284 00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:15.840 Or hey, maybe they don't we get a shot on 285 00:14:15.879 --> 00:14:17.480 a bus? How about that? 286 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.840 So this is not exactly inspiring confidence. And I'm wondering, 287 00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:24.679 I mean, am I the only one that thinks this 288 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:26.080 is just super weird? 289 00:14:27.879 --> 00:14:28.639 Really weird? 290 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:38.519 So anyway, anyway, the Center Party is full blown Democrat. Lol, 291 00:14:38.679 --> 00:14:41.440 So she's allowed to bring up election security. I know 292 00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:43.159 you're conflating two things. 293 00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:43.440 Texter. 294 00:14:43.440 --> 00:14:46.440 Heidi Ganal is coming on at twelve thirty to talk 295 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:52.879 about some potential issues with election integrity. A separate guest 296 00:14:53.080 --> 00:14:55.399 from the Center Party is coming on to talk about 297 00:14:55.399 --> 00:14:58.440 his run for State House District fifty two, where there 298 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:01.600 are no Republicans running. And if you look at Steve's 299 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:06.759 policy positions, a lot of them are Republican, a lot 300 00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:10.720 of them are Democrat. It's an interesting mix. Mandy I 301 00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:13.279 met Chris Christoph person at DIA five years ago. He 302 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:15.960 could not have been nicer, talked for half an hour 303 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.080 and got a picture with him. I'll never forget it. 304 00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.600 See that's lovely, absolutely lovely, Mandy. John Ashton used to 305 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:23.840 come into my local pub and. 306 00:15:23.799 --> 00:15:27.759 Play trivia and have his iced tea regularly. 307 00:15:27.840 --> 00:15:29.799 Down to earth guy text or why am I just 308 00:15:29.840 --> 00:15:31.120 now hearing about this right now? 309 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:32.559 Listeners? 310 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:35.559 You have a responsibility. Okay, I'm just gonna let you 311 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:38.320 know exactly what's up right now. If you have a 312 00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.720 situation like this where you have a famous person that 313 00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.960 comes into your place of business on a regular basis, 314 00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:46.759 nice person, you have a responsibility to let me know 315 00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:48.039 so I can come stalk them. 316 00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:56.919 I mean, really, people, really, it's time. It's time. Make 317 00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:57.440 it happen. 318 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.600 Mandy, please make a distinction that Dave Williams you are 319 00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:04.080 talking about is different from Dave Williams running for Chaffey Counties, 320 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.279 Colorado House District thirteen for the Republicans. Are two different people. 321 00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:10.759 Dave will take down one more just because of his name. Now, 322 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.960 that is completely different. And I believe, if I'm not mistaken, 323 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.240 I know that Dave Williams in Chafey County and he's 324 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:23.240 a super nice guy and very involved in Bunavista, so 325 00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:24.879 I didn't even know he was running. He should have 326 00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.480 called me once again.

I started out 376 00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:31.599 with all my children and Ryan's hope, but then I 377 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.599 switched in college because everybody that I knew watched the 378 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:38.079 CBS soap So I feel sorry for kids now that 379 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:40.039 are sick and they stay home from school and there's 380 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:44.640 just daytime crap TV on because daytime TV now, oh god. 381 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.480 Every time we have a day off, like on holiday, 382 00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:49.799 I go downstairs. I make coffee because I don't really 383 00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:51.799 have to do anything right it's day off. And then 384 00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:53.960 I sit down and I turn the TV on and 385 00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:56.920 I go through the entire guide and then I'm like, 386 00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:58.960 get up, turn the TV off, find something better to 387 00:18:58.960 --> 00:18:59.599 do with my time. 388 00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:01.279 Hopes are still on these days. 389 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:04.720 Bold and the Beautiful is still on. General Hospital is 390 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:09.799 still on. Bolden the Beautiful is like a massive international 391 00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:11.279 celebrity thing. 392 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:13.799 I think Days of our Lives are still on. I 393 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:17.279 don't know. I mean, I'm working during the stories. I 394 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.920 don't know. When we get back. Heidigan All joins us, 395 00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:20.559 we're going to talk. 396 00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.839 A little bit about election security and stuff that we 397 00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:25.160 need to check out next. 398 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:27.960 Right now, we have a candidate for. 399 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.480 Colorado House District fifty two it is a district that 400 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:36.920 is in Fort Collins and there is no Republican running 401 00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:39.119 in that race. And I could go on for days 402 00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:43.079 about the incompetence of the Republican Party, but instead I'm 403 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:46.640 going to introduce you to a candidate running in the 404 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:48.319 Colorado Center Party. 405 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:49.759 His name is Steve eh Rash. 406 00:19:49.799 --> 00:19:51.680 He's been on the show before when he was first 407 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.920 building the Center Party, and now he is running for. 408 00:19:56.920 --> 00:19:59.519 The state House with a platform that. 409 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.599 Is I think very indicative of the sort of mission 410 00:20:05.079 --> 00:20:06.559 of the Center Party in the first place. 411 00:20:06.599 --> 00:20:07.920 Steve, welcome back to the show. 412 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:10.759 Thanks Mandy. 413 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.039 I appreciate all the things you've said about me and 414 00:20:13.119 --> 00:20:14.200 the campaign already. 415 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:14.720 Thanks you. 416 00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:17.079 So let's talk about the Center Party briefly, and then 417 00:20:17.079 --> 00:20:18.920 we're going to get into some issues, because I think 418 00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:23.880 your platform is really interesting in that you appear to 419 00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:26.319 pluck ideas that I guess you think are good ideas 420 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:29.079 from the right and the left. So tell people about 421 00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:31.759 the Center Party, the Colorado Center Party in and of itself. 422 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:38.680 So we got our minor party status last year August 423 00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:45.640 when we got over the one thousand registered voter affiliation threshold. 424 00:20:46.039 --> 00:20:50.440 We now have one thousand and nine hundred voters affiliating 425 00:20:50.440 --> 00:20:52.960 with us, so when you when you register to vote, 426 00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.319 we're one of the choices. And I started working on it, 427 00:20:57.400 --> 00:21:02.000 of course in twenty twenty one, so we have our 428 00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:06.119 full minor party status. We have two other candidates, Bernadette 429 00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:11.039 tedsco or Adams County Commissioner right or husband Chaz has 430 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.839 been county commissioner for a long time and is term limited. 431 00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:18.240 And we also have Skinny Winkler, who's also in Adams 432 00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.119 County running first State House. There is a Republican in 433 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.559 his race. Bernadette does not have a Republican in that 434 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:27.960 race for county commissioner. 435 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:31.200 Okay, the Center Party was formed. 436 00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:40.279 Why Oh, because neither major party was representing the majority 437 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:46.640 in the middle of the voters in Colorado are unaffiliated. 438 00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:49.759 They don't want to be associated with either of the 439 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:54.559 major parties. Both Democrats and Republicans have been losing registered 440 00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:59.720 voters by about one thousand every month. As a thousand 441 00:21:59.839 --> 00:22:05.000 or anyway, but they every month they lose registered voters. 442 00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:10.039 So the way the primaries are set up, the not 443 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:12.839 very many people vote in the primaries, and so your 444 00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:17.319 more extreme elements both Republicans and Democrats, will end up 445 00:22:17.400 --> 00:22:24.000 winning their primaries. Kim hernandez Elizabeth Epps in Denver were 446 00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:27.480 defeated in their primaries because there was a lot of 447 00:22:27.480 --> 00:22:29.960 money put in there and they made total fools of 448 00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:34.480 themselves in the legislature. My opponent, you are a Zochi, 449 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:38.240 is of that same ilk. She's a far left progressive 450 00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:42.839 and she won because there was no incumbent and her 451 00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:47.000 opponent in the primary ran a very poor campaign and 452 00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.200 is a lobbyist. Was I'm sorry, was a lobbyist for 453 00:22:51.319 --> 00:22:54.480 Excel Energy, and people don't want to vote for that 454 00:22:54.839 --> 00:22:58.720 right of background in a candidate. So I've served on 455 00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:01.519 the Larimer County Board well for CON's Electric Port. 456 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.759 So let's talk about your platform, because I think this 457 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:09.559 is very interesting. You have some traditionally conservative positions like 458 00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:13.240 supporting a school of choice, charter schools and local elementary schools. 459 00:23:13.759 --> 00:23:17.319 You want to maintain tabor tax refunds and tax increase 460 00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:23.079 limits to control spending. You are a local control guy 461 00:23:23.079 --> 00:23:25.319 when it comes to land use policy. You don't want 462 00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.880 this kind of one size fits all that the state 463 00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:30.440 is trying to shove down our throats. You are a 464 00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:35.480 Second Amendment guy, except you are in favor of red 465 00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:39.759 flag laws, and for many on the right, second Amendment 466 00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:44.319 is absolute and no limitations are the best limitations. You 467 00:23:44.359 --> 00:23:46.440 also go though, and say the gun controls we have 468 00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:50.240 today are sufficient enforce them. Now, where you start to 469 00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:53.480 go on the other side of the aisle is you 470 00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:56.440 want to protect women's reproductive rights and freedom. So I'm 471 00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:01.079 assuming that's access to abortion. We also, yep, we also 472 00:24:01.200 --> 00:24:06.279 have very much in favor of supporting teacher pay while 473 00:24:06.319 --> 00:24:09.279 not supporting the Pewter School mill levy. 474 00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:11.319 So you're kind of all over the place. 475 00:24:11.319 --> 00:24:16.160 How did you decide to go with these particular policy positions? 476 00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:18.400 And you could pick any of them as an example 477 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:19.319 of why you chose that. 478 00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.839 Well, the big one is abortion rights. 479 00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:27.519 And when you look back at the history in Colorado, 480 00:24:27.960 --> 00:24:30.880 the personhood Amendment, which was on the ballot quite a 481 00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:34.440 few years ago, only got twenty two percent of the vote. Yeah, 482 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:38.359 people do not want to restrict abortion rights. Now nationally, 483 00:24:38.400 --> 00:24:41.480 the polls will tell you that they're okay with restrictions 484 00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.359 in the third trimester. I'm not going to be able 485 00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:47.720 to come forward with any kind of a change in that. 486 00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:53.720 I don't think it's possible to legislate what the exceptions 487 00:24:53.759 --> 00:24:58.000 should be in the third trimester. My personal issue there 488 00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:02.559 is what if the fetus as a defect, down syndrome 489 00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.599 or brain defect. You know, it has to be between 490 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:10.519 a person and their doctor. But I want to defend 491 00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:15.799 crisis pregnancy centers so when they talk to at risk 492 00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:20.279 women who are at risk of having an abortion, that 493 00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:22.920 they are allowed to talk to them, right, so that 494 00:25:23.039 --> 00:25:26.519 you can try to reduce the number of abortions outside 495 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:27.880 of a change in the law. 496 00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.359 Also, nurses and doctors should not be. 497 00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:38.279 Forced to participate in abortion procedures if they are against 498 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.359 it philosophically or religiously. 499 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:43.599 They should not lose their job over that. 500 00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:47.119 And I think that might be an issue that will 501 00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:51.759 come before the legislature in the future. And so you know, 502 00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:56.119 there's other ways of dealing with the abortion issue besides 503 00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:57.799 just trying to create a. 504 00:25:57.799 --> 00:25:58.720 Law to ban them. 505 00:25:58.839 --> 00:26:01.359 So you're actually true, truly pro choice. 506 00:26:01.480 --> 00:26:05.200 You want women to have all the options available to them, 507 00:26:05.279 --> 00:26:08.000 including crisis centers that may try to talk them out 508 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:10.720 of an abortion, or have that available if that's their 509 00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:13.720 choice of last resort. What do you feel like the 510 00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:16.240 biggest issue facing Colorado. 511 00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:22.319 Is, well, the budget is going to be a problem 512 00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:25.799 if we slip into recession. We're going to have budgetary issues. 513 00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:29.079 You got the property taxes that have skyrocketed for a 514 00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:32.000 lot of people. That's going to really hurt seniors. And 515 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:35.400 the senior exemption is pretty small. And so you know, 516 00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:38.519 the legislature, the Democrats and the legislature had to be 517 00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:42.720 dragged kicking and screaming to get the final bill in 518 00:26:42.799 --> 00:26:48.079 the second special session to reduce the property taxes and 519 00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.680 people aren't aware of it, and so we need to 520 00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:55.200 protect that and make sure that the legislature doesn't backslide 521 00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:59.319 on it. Now, the local control, I think I have 522 00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:02.319 a lot of Democrats supporting me in my campaign. I 523 00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:04.799 have Democrats and Republicans because I've spent time in the 524 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:09.799 Republican Party, so personal friends through those connections are supporting me. 525 00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.799 And I have important issues on the Republican side, so 526 00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.400 they support me for that. But the Democrats are all 527 00:27:17.440 --> 00:27:21.279 pissed off about the local control of land use and 528 00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:24.119 what the state has done. Do you serve that, particularly 529 00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:29.319 in Fort Collins, the city council, very liberal, twice tried 530 00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:31.799 to change the land use code similar to what the 531 00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:36.680 state has done, and the preserved Fort Collins group collected 532 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:41.519 signatures to overrule the city council not once but twice, 533 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:45.920 and in the second time I carried petitions for that effort, 534 00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:50.359 So you know, and the state legislature may not be 535 00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:55.240 over with that, right. The U plus two or the 536 00:27:55.680 --> 00:27:59.519 number of people who live in one house is a 537 00:27:59.519 --> 00:28:03.880 big And you look at the trash that the Aurora 538 00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:08.160 apartment complexes, with all the trash building up. That wasn't 539 00:28:08.240 --> 00:28:11.079 a garbage collection issue. That was because of how many 540 00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.279 people are living in each unit. So they create a 541 00:28:14.319 --> 00:28:17.240 lot of trash and it's not getting picked up because 542 00:28:17.279 --> 00:28:21.160 it's too much. And so how many people are allowed 543 00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:24.559 to live in each unit is actually a very important issue, 544 00:28:24.640 --> 00:28:26.839 and I think that will come up again. 545 00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:29.200 Steve, who are you going to caucus with? Mostly? Do 546 00:28:29.240 --> 00:28:32.599 you feel if you are elected into the state House. 547 00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:39.559 I know, I think I will probably end up coxing 548 00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:43.680 with the Republicans. They don't have enough people to fill 549 00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:46.720 all their committee positions, right, And the Democrats, with the 550 00:28:46.920 --> 00:28:51.759 number of people they have with control and they're near supermajority, 551 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:54.000 they're not going to be interested in dealing with me, 552 00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:56.920 So I think by default I'll end up coxing with 553 00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:59.880 the Republicans to make sure I get some caucus assignment. 554 00:29:00.200 --> 00:29:03.400 Steve your Rash is my guest. He is running in 555 00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:07.359 House District fifty two. Fascinating platform, Steve. I wish you 556 00:29:07.400 --> 00:29:09.079 the best and I would love if people would vote 557 00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:11.559 for you in Fort Collins. Again, there's no Republican on 558 00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.279 the platform. You are probably the right kind of person 559 00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.000 to get elected in this race, and I'm going to 560 00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:18.880 be rooting for you from Afar. 561 00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:22.160 I appreciate you making time for me today. 562 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:24.000 Thank you, Mandy, I really appreciate it. 563 00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:24.400 All right. 564 00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:26.319 That is Steve you Rash. He's with the Center Party. 565 00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:28.119 I would tell you to go to the blog at 566 00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:32.559 mandy'sblog dot com and look at his page. It's fascinating 567 00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:34.759 and I think this is the way future. This is 568 00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:38.960 the way forward for conservatives in Colorado. 569 00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:41.759 Not to adopt all of his platform. 570 00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:45.079 Positions, but to just say, look, the Republican Party is dead. 571 00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:48.680 It's an albatross around the neck of good candidates. 572 00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:52.599 Just go it alone. So he's a chameleon. 573 00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:56.880 It's interesting that we cannot wrap our heads around someone 574 00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.200 who may be fiscally conservative they but socially liberal. 575 00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.200 But do you have any idea. How many people describe 576 00:30:03.240 --> 00:30:07.799 themselves exactly that way. They want government to be small. 577 00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:12.319 They don't want government telling anyone what to do, including 578 00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:13.480 on issues like abortion. 579 00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:16.680 They want low taxes. 580 00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:19.400 They want to be left alone, they don't want massive 581 00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:23.240 government programs. A lot of people in society feel that 582 00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:24.960 very way. I was looking at a poll and I 583 00:30:24.960 --> 00:30:26.440 didn't put it on the blog today because I had 584 00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:27.839 so much stuff, and I want to do a deep 585 00:30:27.880 --> 00:30:32.720 dive on it tomorrow. But and issue is an insights 586 00:30:32.759 --> 00:30:39.839 poll about people's underlying attitudes, not party identification, not candidate polling, 587 00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:43.400 because never of that matters. I was talking to my 588 00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:46.480 personal trainer today. She said, well, how do the polls look? 589 00:30:46.480 --> 00:30:49.079 And I said, honestly, I'm not paying attention to the polls. 590 00:30:50.079 --> 00:30:55.319 The polls got broken in twenty sixteen. And remember in 591 00:30:55.319 --> 00:30:57.319 twenty sixteen Hillary was going to walk. 592 00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:58.880 Away with it. We didn't even have to show up 593 00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:02.160 to vote. Hillary's got this. Just look at the polls. 594 00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:06.119 The only poll that matters is in November. And now, 595 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.880 I really, at this point in time, I believe that 596 00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:15.599 the poles serve no purpose other than to gin up 597 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:20.799 voter turnout or suppress voter turnout, because. 598 00:31:20.599 --> 00:31:22.519 If you think, well, if I go and vote, my 599 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:24.440 guy's still going to at least like people in Colorado 600 00:31:24.720 --> 00:31:26.279 who are like, well, it doesn't really matter what I 601 00:31:26.359 --> 00:31:27.799 vote for you they're gonna lose anyway. 602 00:31:28.240 --> 00:31:32.559 That's the exact wrong attitude, even if it's accurate. It's 603 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:34.519 one of the reasons that even though I'm in Colorado 604 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:38.200 and there's a zero percent chance that Donald Trump wins Colorado, 605 00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:41.799 I'm still going to cast my ballot for Donald Trump 606 00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:46.519 because it's important to be heard even if you in 607 00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:51.119 this state lose, and people like Steve ee Rash, who 608 00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:54.440 was who was looking, who looks at the problems right, 609 00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:57.279 looks at the problems and says, what do I think 610 00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:01.440 is the best solution, Not which is going to get 611 00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:03.400 me more Republican votes, or which is going to get 612 00:32:03.440 --> 00:32:06.400 me more Democrat votes, or what am I supposed to 613 00:32:06.519 --> 00:32:10.160 say because I'm a Democrat or a Republican. I think 614 00:32:10.200 --> 00:32:12.279 there's a whole bunch of that that goes on, where 615 00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:15.119 people running for office or spouting off opinions they don't 616 00:32:15.119 --> 00:32:17.799 believe in because they're in that party and they're expected 617 00:32:17.839 --> 00:32:20.240 to say it. Look no further than Kamala Harris in 618 00:32:20.240 --> 00:32:24.839 twenty nineteen or Kamala Harris in twenty twenty four, because 619 00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:29.240 she has now held every single position on every single issue, 620 00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:32.160 because she thought that whatever she was saying at that 621 00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:37.400 moment would benefit her politically. She started running in the 622 00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:39.839 general election and didn't have a primary and nobody voted 623 00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:40.119 for her. 624 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:42.480 She didn't have to win over the hardcore. 625 00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:44.200 Left wing of the Democratic Party like she was trying 626 00:32:44.240 --> 00:32:49.279 to in twenty nineteen. She was against racking, she wanted 627 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:51.839 open borders. She didn't think coming to the country illegally 628 00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:55.240 should be a crime. Now she wants to deport illegal 629 00:32:55.279 --> 00:32:58.599 aliens Bill Trump's Wall, which was racist in twenty nineteen. 630 00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:02.359 She's now adopted did all of the physicians, including not 631 00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:04.640 taxing tips that the Republican. 632 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:05.039 Party has adopted. 633 00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:11.599 At least, Steve seems to be being honest. No, there's 634 00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:14.319 no reason that he should lie. There's no reason to 635 00:33:14.359 --> 00:33:17.480 make up anything. I mean, he's just telling it like 636 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:18.119 he sees it. 637 00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.640 That's kind of refreshing. I don't know if it'll work. 638 00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:24.319 We'll see, Mandy. 639 00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:26.519 I'm in my late thirties and I'm exactly what you 640 00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:30.400 describe fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I tell people I'm 641 00:33:30.440 --> 00:33:33.519 a conservative, meaning I want small government at all levels, 642 00:33:33.920 --> 00:33:38.240 smallest government possible, always on ninety nine percent of issues. 643 00:33:39.519 --> 00:33:41.839 This Texter said Mandy, I would like to remind longtime 644 00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:45.400 listeners that even Mike Rosen to find himself as fiscally 645 00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:48.480 conservative and either socially liberal or libertarian. 646 00:33:50.000 --> 00:33:53.119 Mandy down thirty one pounds with soda in twelve weeks, 647 00:33:53.119 --> 00:33:56.319 still going, Thank you, mount and Grandma.

Heidigan 662 00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:53.039 All ran for governor and now she is not letting up. 663 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:57.280 She is out there, sounded the alarm about some potential 664 00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.599 issues in our voting system, and I'd had a presser 665 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:03.760 last week to talk about it. Good afternoon, Heidi Ganal. 666 00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.199 How are you, hi, miss Manny. 667 00:35:06.239 --> 00:35:07.039 I'm doing great. 668 00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:07.519 How about you? 669 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:08.920 I'm doing fantastic. 670 00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:12.199 And you know, Heidi, I know you a little bit now, 671 00:35:12.360 --> 00:35:15.719 as they say, And one of the things that impresses 672 00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:19.400 me about you is that you ran a very tough 673 00:35:19.480 --> 00:35:20.239 governor's race. 674 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.199 You did not succeed, but it has. 675 00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:28.480 Not stopped your passion for making sure that Coloraden's have 676 00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:32.320 a government that they can trust and that they can 677 00:35:32.440 --> 00:35:35.159 be proud of. And you've just pretty much not stopped 678 00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.400 since your race in continuing to find ways to make 679 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:39.159 Colorado better. 680 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:40.840 And I just appreciate that about you. 681 00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:42.559 Very very much, because a lot of people would have 682 00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:43.880 just taken their marbles and gone home. 683 00:35:44.159 --> 00:35:48.480 You know, I wanted to for a little bit, believe me, Mandy, 684 00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:50.400 but I care so much about this state and I 685 00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:52.960 want my kids to stay here, my grandkids to stay here. 686 00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:56.079 So after I learned so much about how the sausage 687 00:35:56.159 --> 00:35:57.760 is made. I think that's one of. 688 00:35:57.760 --> 00:36:02.000 The biggest disservices candidates can make to their voters is 689 00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:04.039 to just walk away and not share what they learned, 690 00:36:04.079 --> 00:36:06.400 what they would do differently, how we can make things better. 691 00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:08.719 So what did you What was your press conference about 692 00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:09.760 last week? Let's just jump in. 693 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:14.559 Yeah, so my press conference was about finding we made 694 00:36:14.800 --> 00:36:17.400 an I would call it an audit of the twenty 695 00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:21.360 two election regarding Douglas County, and it wasn't really about 696 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.800 my race. It was more about Kurt Huffman's race, who 697 00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:26.719 ran for House sister forty three and lost. It's in 698 00:36:26.800 --> 00:36:27.440 Highland's ranch. 699 00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:29.280 He lost in a Republican. 700 00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:31.800 Plus ten district in Douglas County, and Kurt ran a 701 00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:34.920 really good rate. He was incumbent, and the final numbers 702 00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:36.880 just didn't make a lot of sense. So we were 703 00:36:37.440 --> 00:36:39.480 looking at that, Kurt and I were talking about it. 704 00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:41.840 My numbers were even a little weird, so we said, well. 705 00:36:41.840 --> 00:36:44.360 Let's just ask for a recount. That's our right, you know, 706 00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:47.400 that's every citizen's right. And we did that right after 707 00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:50.239 the election, and the whole. 708 00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:52.559 Process was crazy. They just blocked us at every. 709 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:55.000 Turn wouldn't let us do what we were You know, 710 00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:58.119 our rights constitutionally are to do and get access to 711 00:36:58.159 --> 00:37:00.239 see things that we should have been able to see. 712 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:03.360 So that prompted me to hire an attorney. 713 00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:04.599 To dig in a bit and say, why are they 714 00:37:04.679 --> 00:37:06.679 blocking us? Why don't they want us to see things? 715 00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:11.039 And it took us about sixteen months to actually make 716 00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:13.400 any progress, but we did make progress. And I have 717 00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.000 to say, Cherry Davis, the clerk in Douglas County, has 718 00:37:16.000 --> 00:37:18.559 been wonderful to work with, very accommodating. 719 00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:19.519 So is her staff. 720 00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.119 I think this goes bigger to Jennick Griswold in the 721 00:37:22.159 --> 00:37:25.840 Secretary of State's office. And so it took two years 722 00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:28.599 to do this analysis and we got the results through 723 00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:30.800 the beginning of the results a couple of weeks ago, 724 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:32.320 so we wanted to share it with the public. 725 00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:34.440 So what did you guys discover? 726 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:38.639 And to be clear, Heidi, this is not about past elections, correct, 727 00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:42.599 This is just concerns that you guys have about our 728 00:37:42.639 --> 00:37:44.800 elections going forward. I want to be clear about that 729 00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:47.719 because I'm getting snotty, like you know, oh, she's an 730 00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.280 election tonight. This is not about any past election really, right, 731 00:37:51.400 --> 00:37:51.719 I mean. 732 00:37:51.679 --> 00:37:52.239 What you know? 733 00:37:52.679 --> 00:37:55.400 Yeah, So go ahead and talk about what you guys found. 734 00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:59.599 Yeah, Mandy, this is about restoring trust for the people 735 00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.119 that don't trust our elections and don't want to vote 736 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:05.239 because of it, and that's a travesty. So I thought, 737 00:38:05.280 --> 00:38:07.199 what can we do to restore trust? Well, I always 738 00:38:07.239 --> 00:38:08.400 believe sunshine is the. 739 00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:11.199 Best cure for that. So one of the things that we. 740 00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:15.000 Discovered, which we weren't really looking for, was that the 741 00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:19.800 machines the voting systems actually do have remote Wi Fi 742 00:38:20.079 --> 00:38:22.800 access and can connect to the Internet. And I'm not 743 00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:26.920 saying anything happened, but the potential for bad actors to 744 00:38:27.000 --> 00:38:29.239 do something is there. And this is what really ticks 745 00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:31.960 me off me Andie is that many of our public 746 00:38:32.000 --> 00:38:36.000 officials have been misleading I would venture to say lying 747 00:38:36.000 --> 00:38:38.079 in the case of Jenna Griswold, because she knows everything 748 00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:41.320 that goes on in our elections, and it really upsets 749 00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:43.679 me that they just aren't honest and talking about security 750 00:38:43.719 --> 00:38:44.400 and safety when it. 751 00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:45.599 Comes to the voting systems. 752 00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:47.599 And I'd love to read you a quote from Jenna 753 00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:48.800 Griswold if it would help. 754 00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:50.159 Put things in perspective. 755 00:38:51.639 --> 00:38:55.480 Okay, So December fifteenth, twenty twenty. She's talking to the 756 00:38:55.559 --> 00:38:58.400 Legislative Audit Committee and they're having a hearing on election 757 00:38:58.519 --> 00:39:02.320 integrity and genesis. Voting systems are never connected to and 758 00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:05.320 cannot be accessed through the Internet because Wi Fi and 759 00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:09.400 Bluetooth capability are stripped from the unit before use, and 760 00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:13.800 all other connective technology is disabled by the trusted build. 761 00:39:14.679 --> 00:39:18.639 Okay, So essentially they're not connected to the Internet. And 762 00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:19.719 what did you guys find? 763 00:39:21.119 --> 00:39:24.480 We found that through the purchase orders and through verifying 764 00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:28.440 it with Douglas County clerks. The voting systems used there, 765 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:33.360 how are have Wi Fi remote access cards within them 766 00:39:33.639 --> 00:39:37.440 that can be activated or be activated, but it's very 767 00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:41.679 complicated to do that and connect to the Internet remotely. 768 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:47.239 Okay, So the possibility exists, though we have no we're 769 00:39:47.280 --> 00:39:51.679 not saying that it is uh is happening, correct, right, Okay? 770 00:39:51.760 --> 00:39:56.039 So what needs to happen to give you and therefore 771 00:39:56.119 --> 00:40:00.320 others more confidence that these machines cannot be hacked, because 772 00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:01.280 that's what this is all about. 773 00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:01.480 Right. 774 00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:05.800 We've now had several hackers demonstrate with certain machines and 775 00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.840 other places how easy it is to hack into the system. 776 00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:11.960 We have not had that demonstration here in Colorado. But 777 00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.760 the possibility could exist, is that what we're. 778 00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:20.639 Saying absolutely, and we've been working with some really sophisticated 779 00:40:20.719 --> 00:40:23.159 smart people to figure out if this is accurate, if 780 00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:27.039 this is it, if it's actually a possibility, if this happened, 781 00:40:27.360 --> 00:40:30.199 it's very possible. And so what needs to happen is 782 00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:32.199 they need to take the cards out of the machines. 783 00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:35.119 It's not real complicated. And Douglas County said, well, we 784 00:40:35.360 --> 00:40:36.920 can't do that. The Secretary of. 785 00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:38.400 State has to talk to you about that. 786 00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:40.440 So we tried to set up a meeting and of 787 00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:43.239 course they didn't respond, so nobody. 788 00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:44.199 I mean, here's the thing. 789 00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:48.760 It's such a small thing and such an insignificant thing 790 00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:50.840 that sounds like it would be really easy to take 791 00:40:50.880 --> 00:40:52.880 care of, and you just can't get any traction and 792 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:54.960 even saying we should take care of this. 793 00:40:56.599 --> 00:40:59.639 Right anany What this comes down to is restoring trust 794 00:40:59.719 --> 00:41:03.639 with the voters. So well misled the public, so fix it. 795 00:41:04.000 --> 00:41:06.400 So make sure that there aren't these cards in any 796 00:41:06.440 --> 00:41:09.119 of our voting systems. And we only looked at Douglas County. 797 00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:11.320 We did not look at other counties. But it's very 798 00:41:11.559 --> 00:41:14.920 likely or possible that they are in the other voting systems, 799 00:41:14.960 --> 00:41:17.280 And I would encourage everybody to ask the county clerks 800 00:41:17.519 --> 00:41:20.119 that question, or your county commissioner, is that question? But 801 00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:24.000 it's the possibility, it's the rebuilding of trust. It's how 802 00:41:24.079 --> 00:41:26.880 we get people back on board with our elections and 803 00:41:26.960 --> 00:41:29.480 believing that they're the gold standard and not just full 804 00:41:29.480 --> 00:41:29.880 of gold. 805 00:41:30.239 --> 00:41:32.119 So the thing that gets me about this, and the 806 00:41:32.159 --> 00:41:34.440 reason why I think nothing is going to happen here, Heidi, 807 00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:37.760 is that the Democrats, they're like, there's nothing wrong with 808 00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:38.800 the election system. 809 00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:40.239 It's fine, there's nothing to see. 810 00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:42.559 So the only people that are like, yeah, we should 811 00:41:42.559 --> 00:41:44.639 probably make this secure seem to be coming from the right. 812 00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:47.199 And unfortunately in Colorado, the people on the right just 813 00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:49.920 don't matter very much to the Secretary of State. 814 00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:53.360 No, and I'm going to get called all kinds of names. 815 00:41:53.360 --> 00:41:56.639 I already am on Twitter. And what a really frustrating 816 00:41:56.719 --> 00:41:59.320 thing that happened around the press conferences we had. And 817 00:41:59.400 --> 00:42:01.639 I knew that we had color of Public Radio, we 818 00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:05.840 had Fox thirty one, we had a contract writer, I 819 00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:08.119 believe from the demo posts, and not one of them 820 00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:10.360 covered the story. They were all there they stayed for 821 00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:13.119 the entire conference, and none of them put a keep 822 00:42:13.199 --> 00:42:13.840 out about this. 823 00:42:14.840 --> 00:42:17.320 Like I said, people on the right don't matter in 824 00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:19.800 this state. And I mean, am I wrong? 825 00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:22.800 Because if there are a lot of people in this 826 00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:26.920 state who are concerned about election integrity, not because there's 827 00:42:26.960 --> 00:42:29.039 some kind of election denier, but they just want to 828 00:42:29.159 --> 00:42:31.760 know that their vote is not going to be canceled 829 00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:34.199 out by someone who is either dead. By the way, 830 00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:37.760 I have a story on the blog today about the 831 00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:42.000 new Jenni Griswold loss. She is now being forced to 832 00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:45.400 demonstrate that dead people are not registered. 833 00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:45.960 To vote in Colorado. 834 00:42:46.360 --> 00:42:49.400 This should be such a nothing burger that it should 835 00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:52.800 have already been done, But she fought it. She fought 836 00:42:53.280 --> 00:42:56.119 just making sure that we don't have thirty thousand dead 837 00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:59.280 people on our voter rolls right now. I mean that 838 00:42:59.320 --> 00:43:02.599 should indicate to me that this woman shouldn't be in charge. 839 00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:05.519 It should be in my view, Heidi, if someone comes 840 00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:08.800 and says, we have a legitimate concern that this is happening, 841 00:43:08.880 --> 00:43:10.599 and can you take care of it, the answer should 842 00:43:10.639 --> 00:43:13.400 be yes. If this is going to make people trust 843 00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:17.000 our system more, yes, let's do it. You're not asking 844 00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:18.719 for like crazy expensive stuff here. 845 00:43:20.440 --> 00:43:23.920 No, and it's not even just Jenna. The clerks know 846 00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:26.559 what they're ordering when they order these machines. And just 847 00:43:26.719 --> 00:43:30.400 in September, Sarah mccaffee, who's the spokesperson for the Jeffical 848 00:43:30.480 --> 00:43:35.559 Kennty Clerk's office, said, no counting machines in Colorado are 849 00:43:35.679 --> 00:43:37.159 connected to the Internet. 850 00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:40.559 And also this is a bipartisan thing. Wayne Williams has 851 00:43:40.559 --> 00:43:41.440 said the same thing. 852 00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:44.239 Back in sixteen. He said, to start with, none of 853 00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:47.199 our tabulation software and none of our tabulation machines are 854 00:43:47.239 --> 00:43:49.360 connected to the Internet, so they cannot be. 855 00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:50.480 Hacked from the outside. 856 00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:53.159 And finally, in June of this year, Bobby Growth and 857 00:43:53.239 --> 00:43:56.880 Mason County Clerk said, Masa County ballot processing equipment is 858 00:43:56.960 --> 00:43:59.840 not connected to the internet in any way. And I say, 859 00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.679 we don't know for sure in these other counties if 860 00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:04.760 it is or not, but it sure is the fact 861 00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:07.599 that Douglas Counties is to check with the rest of 862 00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:09.440 the counties to make sure that they're not and these 863 00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:12.199 people are being accurate and truthful when they're talking about 864 00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:13.199 their voting systems. 865 00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:17.239 Well, so, Heidi, I'm glad. I wish that we were 866 00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:18.679 not so polarized in this state. 867 00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:20.519 You know, there have been a couple of things that 868 00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:23.280 have happened lately that made me realize that if you're 869 00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:25.039 on the right in Colorado and you have the nerve 870 00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:28.360 to sound the alarm about anything, whether it is the 871 00:44:28.440 --> 00:44:32.079 takeover of apartment buildings by a Venezuelan gang or the 872 00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:36.239 possibility of bad actors interfering in our election, the only 873 00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:38.679 thing I could say is, I hope, Heidi, and I 874 00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:39.559 can't believe I'm going. 875 00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:41.519 To say this out loud. I hope that if some 876 00:44:41.800 --> 00:44:42.679 hardcore right. 877 00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:45.199 Wing computer hacker is listening to this, wouldn't it be 878 00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:47.719 funny if they hacked into the machines and all the 879 00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:49.360 Republicans won in the state. 880 00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:51.280 You better bet that election. 881 00:44:51.119 --> 00:44:52.760 Integrity would be at the top of the list for 882 00:44:52.840 --> 00:44:53.719 the Secretary of State. 883 00:44:53.800 --> 00:44:56.679 After that, Oh, cuche manny ciche. 884 00:44:56.840 --> 00:44:59.639 And there's a couple other two key issues I can 885 00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:02.440 go over real quickly that suns that are important if 886 00:45:02.480 --> 00:45:03.280 you have time for. 887 00:45:03.519 --> 00:45:05.360 One is the post office. 888 00:45:05.400 --> 00:45:08.559 The post office gets undeliverable ballots back and it is 889 00:45:08.760 --> 00:45:12.400 their responsibility to report to the county Clerk's office how 890 00:45:12.480 --> 00:45:14.559 many there were, and they actually get paid for those. 891 00:45:14.639 --> 00:45:17.599 So they sent an invoice. A group that we work with, 892 00:45:17.800 --> 00:45:21.199 colrad and for an Institute for Fair Elections, did an 893 00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:24.519 audit of the Post Office invoices and most of them 894 00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:29.119 were incorrect. They did eleven counties and significantly incorrect, and 895 00:45:30.039 --> 00:45:32.719 it couldn't be explained. There were over twelve thousand ballots 896 00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:35.719 that were just not accounted for. And so we've got 897 00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:38.480 to make sure that our accounting with the Post Office 898 00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:42.239 and the County Clots Office is accurate and that it 899 00:45:42.400 --> 00:45:45.119 meets at least basic accounting standards, which it doesn't right now. 900 00:45:45.800 --> 00:45:48.039 And then the third thing is the drop boxes. 901 00:45:48.480 --> 00:45:51.239 The way they monitor the drop boxes is silly. 902 00:45:51.519 --> 00:45:52.760 It's just plain silly. 903 00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:56.320 They use low definition cameras that cannot be admissible in 904 00:45:56.400 --> 00:45:58.679 court in most cases, and they point them in a 905 00:45:58.760 --> 00:46:01.679 direction where you can't actually see anything, and they record 906 00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:03.079 all this footage and they're. 907 00:46:02.960 --> 00:46:06.800 Supposed to be monitoring it for bad things happening. 908 00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:10.000 And they don't typically look at that. And so what 909 00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:12.639 we'd like to do is encourage citizens. And we fought 910 00:46:12.679 --> 00:46:14.639 the Secretary of State on this. We almost took her 911 00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:18.599 to a federal lawsuit over First Amendment rights. Citizens are 912 00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:22.039 allowed to observe those drop boxes, and there's certain guidelines 913 00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:24.920 you should use. You should never intimidate voters, but that's 914 00:46:24.960 --> 00:46:27.159 our right as citizens. So we're going to have more 915 00:46:27.199 --> 00:46:30.440 information about how people can do that to protect our 916 00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:34.559 drop boxes and make sure there's no bad actors dealing there. 917 00:46:35.320 --> 00:46:36.880 Okay, so there's a lot going on here. 918 00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:40.280 I wish that I thought anything would happen, but I 919 00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:44.800 just have no confidence in our politicized secretary of State's office. 920 00:46:45.400 --> 00:46:49.280 People need to understand that Jennack Groswald has been such 921 00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:53.199 an outlier for this position. She has been an absolute 922 00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:58.039 partisan hack in the one department, right, the one department 923 00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:01.440 where is critical for someone to at least give the 924 00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:06.039 appearance of impartiality, but she has done the exact opposite 925 00:47:06.119 --> 00:47:08.360 the entire time she's been in office. She should have 926 00:47:08.400 --> 00:47:11.400 been bounced out, but the hatred for Donald Trump was 927 00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:14.199 so big in this state and Republicans in general that 928 00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:16.039 she didn't get bounced out when she should have. So 929 00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:19.239 I'm glad that you're at least calling attention to this stuff, Heidi. 930 00:47:19.639 --> 00:47:21.440 I just don't have a lot of confidence that anything 931 00:47:21.480 --> 00:47:25.360 will happen because we are so thoroughly run by Democrats 932 00:47:25.800 --> 00:47:27.880 in this state and they just don't care what we think. 933 00:47:28.079 --> 00:47:28.840 That's the reality. 934 00:47:30.320 --> 00:47:30.880 Unfortunately. 935 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:33.239 I think you're right, Mannie, but I'm tenacious, you know that. 936 00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:35.360 Yes, they can call me names all they want. I'm 937 00:47:35.400 --> 00:47:36.960 going to keep on it and I'm. 938 00:47:36.840 --> 00:47:38.800 Going to make sure that this needs the light of 939 00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:41.039 day and that voters understand what's happening and we can 940 00:47:41.440 --> 00:47:44.119 do better to protect our vote. That's all we're asking 941 00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.760 is so that we can restore trust in our vote. 942 00:47:46.559 --> 00:47:47.280 Here in Colorado. 943 00:47:47.599 --> 00:47:49.840 I agree, Hidi Gan all thanks for everything you do, 944 00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:51.760 and we will talk to you again very soon. 945 00:47:52.880 --> 00:47:54.079 That's great, man, all right, thank you. 946 00:47:54.760 --> 00:47:57.599 And you know, this is one of those things that 947 00:47:57.760 --> 00:48:02.440 I don't get thought about. This, This is how this 948 00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:03.639 is how my brain works. 949 00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:07.320 If you really wanted to make a point about how 950 00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:10.360 insecure our elections are in the state of Colorado, here's 951 00:48:10.400 --> 00:48:14.239 what I would do. Here's my machiavellian plan. But I'm 952 00:48:14.320 --> 00:48:16.039 pretty sure even if I did all of it on 953 00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:20.079 camera to demonstrate how bad are the security around our 954 00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:23.679 election system really is, I'd still get arrested because what 955 00:48:23.719 --> 00:48:26.960 I'm talking about is completely illegal. Go round to every 956 00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:30.280 apartment complex starting right after the ballots, drop and gather 957 00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:32.719 up all of the ballots that are in the trash 958 00:48:32.800 --> 00:48:37.280 cans of all the apartment complexes, and then in a 959 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:40.400 small local race, decide who you're going to have win. 960 00:48:41.960 --> 00:48:44.559 And because you guys, some of these small local races 961 00:48:45.440 --> 00:48:50.639 are decided by like ten, fifteen, twenty votes, and go 962 00:48:50.760 --> 00:48:52.519 ahead and show him how easy it is to boost 963 00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:54.679 that candidate and show him how easy it is to win. 964 00:48:56.159 --> 00:49:01.000 I truly believe there's enough ballots in garbage cans around 965 00:49:01.159 --> 00:49:03.559 the metro area that you could go in and choose 966 00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:07.639 a race and pick the winner, and steal and return 967 00:49:07.960 --> 00:49:10.039 enough ballots to make a difference in that race. 968 00:49:11.159 --> 00:49:12.480 Just one race, just to prove it. 969 00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:14.760 I mean, it could be something like, you know, a 970 00:49:14.880 --> 00:49:19.000 town council somewhere, whatever, it doesn't matter, but just to 971 00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:22.400 demonstrate that our election system is not secure, and just 972 00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:26.440 because it hasn't been exploited yet, what's to prevent people 973 00:49:26.480 --> 00:49:27.679 from exploiting it in the future. 974 00:49:28.639 --> 00:49:29.159 One seat. 975 00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:31.400 I meant to grab this for the show today and 976 00:49:31.440 --> 00:49:35.840 I forgot. I think it was Arizona, a leaked conversation 977 00:49:36.079 --> 00:49:39.840 between Democrats about how many illegals they allowed to vote 978 00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:43.599 got out, not that they allowed all these illegals to 979 00:49:43.800 --> 00:49:47.320 register to vote, which they did. But the conversation about 980 00:49:47.440 --> 00:49:50.760 them talking about that and how if word got out 981 00:49:51.039 --> 00:49:53.880 it would give all of those election deniers fuel for 982 00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:58.599 their fire. Well, yeah, but you've got ten million new 983 00:49:58.679 --> 00:50:02.199 illegal immigrants during the Biden campaign and they're shipping many 984 00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:05.000 of them into swing states like Ohio. 985 00:50:05.159 --> 00:50:08.480 Like Pennsylvania. Do you think that's a coincidence? 986 00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:12.840 And now we find out like seventy thousand people in 987 00:50:12.920 --> 00:50:16.599 Arizona illegally they're registered to vote. Now, who's going to 988 00:50:16.639 --> 00:50:18.039 make sure they don't cast their ballots? 989 00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:21.719 How do you do that? How do you make sure 990 00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:23.719 that they are not allowed to cast a ballot? How 991 00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:26.559 do you do that? Mandy? 992 00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:29.599 From the Common Spirit Health text line at five sixty 993 00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:33.119 six nine, Ohero, It makes you really suspicious when anyone 994 00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:36.239 who questions how all these sketchy election things are being 995 00:50:36.400 --> 00:50:39.360 ignored are or demonized as being an election denier. 996 00:50:40.480 --> 00:50:44.239 There you go, There you go, Mandy. 997 00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:45.880 For those of us in other counties who want to 998 00:50:45.880 --> 00:50:48.639 ask our clerks and commissioners about this issue, what are 999 00:50:48.679 --> 00:50:51.760 the specific questions we should be asking as it relates 1000 00:50:51.800 --> 00:50:56.360 to the voting machines? Question number one, does this voting 1001 00:50:56.440 --> 00:51:00.599 machine have a card that connects it to the internet 1002 00:51:00.679 --> 00:51:02.519 in any way, shape or form, And they're going to 1003 00:51:02.559 --> 00:51:04.039 tell you yes, but they're deactivated. 1004 00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:07.159 Why not remove them? Why not just go into the 1005 00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:08.280 system and remove them. 1006 00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:11.239 That's what Heidi's asking for, because that's the only way 1007 00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:14.400 then we can truly prevent a hacker from having access. 1008 00:51:14.480 --> 00:51:19.320 Take away the access from a remote source. Period that 1009 00:51:19.559 --> 00:51:21.679 that's what has to happen. And if it's no big 1010 00:51:21.719 --> 00:51:23.480 deal to pull the card out, why can't we do that? 1011 00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:28.880 I don't understand the resistance to that. Mandy, didn't you 1012 00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:30.719 encourage people to collect ballots and get them to you 1013 00:51:30.840 --> 00:51:31.679 during the last election? 1014 00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:33.920 What did that show? No, I didn't do that. 1015 00:51:34.079 --> 00:51:36.480 I probably, you know, threw out my same idea that 1016 00:51:36.519 --> 00:51:38.199 I had this time. But again, I don't want to 1017 00:51:38.199 --> 00:51:42.400 get arrested. So how do you do that without getting arrested? 1018 00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:48.320 I don't know. Perhaps just a coincidence, says this text. 1019 00:51:48.519 --> 00:51:50.000 But we went to mail in ballots. 1020 00:51:50.119 --> 00:51:52.519 Ninety five percent of the issues and candidates that I, 1021 00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:55.159 as a conservative have supported have gone down in flames, 1022 00:51:55.800 --> 00:51:58.000 and the few issues that went my way were back 1023 00:51:58.039 --> 00:51:59.760 on the ballots next time to turn over. 1024 00:52:01.760 --> 00:52:02.000 Yeah. 1025 00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:06.079 Yeah, there should be a website so you can access 1026 00:52:06.199 --> 00:52:08.760 using a social Security number to see your vote and 1027 00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:12.119 who it went to, time and date. There is ballot 1028 00:52:12.159 --> 00:52:14.679 tracks allows you to see when your vote has been counted. 1029 00:52:14.800 --> 00:52:16.119 Oh you know what, let me just say one more 1030 00:52:16.159 --> 00:52:21.840 thing about the upcoming election. In a stroke of dumb assory, 1031 00:52:22.159 --> 00:52:25.639 several years ago, Republicans were told by dumbasses in the 1032 00:52:25.679 --> 00:52:30.519 Republican Party not to return their ballot early because somehow 1033 00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:33.480 that was going to bust the algorithms that the Democrats 1034 00:52:33.559 --> 00:52:36.480 used to cheat. It was like the dumbest thing in. 1035 00:52:36.559 --> 00:52:37.400 The entire world. 1036 00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:40.800 And I'm here to tell you that I want every 1037 00:52:41.039 --> 00:52:45.199 single Republican, Conservative independent, I want you all to return 1038 00:52:45.239 --> 00:52:51.039 your ballots on the first day because every ballot that 1039 00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:55.360 is out that requires money and effort by Republicans who 1040 00:52:55.400 --> 00:52:57.519 are trying to get out the vote to let them 1041 00:52:57.599 --> 00:53:00.480 know that you need to go vote. If you vote 1042 00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:02.239 on the first day, you save them a lot of 1043 00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:05.480 time and energy. When you get your ballot, fill it out, 1044 00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:08.440 take it back, drop it in a dropbox the same day, 1045 00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:11.400 that will save them a lot of get out the 1046 00:53:11.480 --> 00:53:15.559 vote money. So I did my ballot guide and as 1047 00:53:15.599 --> 00:53:17.079 a matter of fact, in the next segment, we're going 1048 00:53:17.159 --> 00:53:21.360 to talk about this. You guys, some of our ballots 1049 00:53:21.400 --> 00:53:24.440 are going to be five and six pages. 1050 00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:28.559 Long, front and back. It's like the Monika and Ross 1051 00:53:28.679 --> 00:53:34.719 breakup letter, except it's a ballot eighteen pages front and back. 1052 00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:38.639 That's from friends. If you didn't watch it, I'm sorry 1053 00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:40.119 you didn't get that joke. But it was very funny 1054 00:53:40.119 --> 00:53:44.079 and very well placed. So we're gonna go over the 1055 00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:46.000 ballot guy just a little bit. There are a ton 1056 00:53:46.239 --> 00:53:50.159 of ballot initiatives, and I did not do all of 1057 00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:53.400 the races everywhere. First of all, I don't have that 1058 00:53:53.519 --> 00:53:56.039 kind of time. Second of all, I don't have that 1059 00:53:56.159 --> 00:53:59.920 kind of time. Okay, But after I published this yesterday, 1060 00:54:00.400 --> 00:54:02.599 a listener sent me an email and said, Mandy, you 1061 00:54:02.760 --> 00:54:06.360 have got to put these Broomfield initiatives on your ballot guide, 1062 00:54:06.400 --> 00:54:08.079 and they sent me some information. I went and did 1063 00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:10.960 a little more research, and now the Broomfield ballot initiatives 1064 00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:12.599 that you all need to vote against are now on 1065 00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:15.079 the ballot guide. So if there's something in jeff Co. 1066 00:54:15.280 --> 00:54:19.159 Or Adams County, or Weld County or El Paso County 1067 00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:21.360 or wherever that you want me to look into. You 1068 00:54:21.440 --> 00:54:24.079 got to email me and say, Mandy, what about this now, 1069 00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:26.360 local races. 1070 00:54:26.519 --> 00:54:29.679 Local candidates. I don't have a lot for you on that. 1071 00:54:29.920 --> 00:54:32.719 I am asking you we need some Republicans in the 1072 00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:34.519 state to balance things out, but I don't know a 1073 00:54:34.559 --> 00:54:37.280 lot about the candidates who are running. So I kind 1074 00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:42.719 of just stepped away from that. But I have my 1075 00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:46.519 ballot guide out, and unlike Ross's, y'all, God bless Roskamenski, 1076 00:54:46.559 --> 00:54:49.599 I'm just going to say it, dude did a dissertation 1077 00:54:50.599 --> 00:54:52.159 on all of the ballot initiatives. 1078 00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:53.760 I did not mine. 1079 00:54:53.880 --> 00:54:57.440 Is a ballot guide for idiots, done by idiots for idiots. So, 1080 00:54:57.840 --> 00:55:01.000 fellow idiot, you're a pre siated and my ballot guide, 1081 00:55:01.000 --> 00:55:01.760 we're going to dip into it. 1082 00:55:01.880 --> 00:55:04.079 Next voter guide is on the blog. It will be 1083 00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:05.519 on the blog on the. 1084 00:55:05.599 --> 00:55:10.480 Top entry every single day until election. Well maybe not 1085 00:55:10.559 --> 00:55:13.280 every single day. Sometimes I forget. I try to put 1086 00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:19.639 it on there, but sometimes I forget. And the voter 1087 00:55:19.760 --> 00:55:23.239 guide is mostly about the ballot initiatives because there are 1088 00:55:23.440 --> 00:55:29.079 so many of them, so many of them, So I 1089 00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:31.639 want to dip my toe into just a little bit 1090 00:55:31.800 --> 00:55:35.760 of it, because good God, you guys. I have all 1091 00:55:35.800 --> 00:55:39.800 the Denver ballot initiative measures. I have some Douglas County 1092 00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:41.920 stuff on there because I live in Douglas County, so 1093 00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:43.239 I'm up to speed on that stuff. 1094 00:55:43.679 --> 00:55:45.400 I have the Broomfield initiatives. 1095 00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:46.440 I have. 1096 00:55:49.400 --> 00:55:55.239 A lot of stuff trying to scroll down here. I 1097 00:55:55.320 --> 00:55:58.119 didn't tell you like who to vote for in the 1098 00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:02.679 federal races. All I said was, look, we need more Republicans, 1099 00:56:03.239 --> 00:56:05.159 and so vote however you want to vote. 1100 00:56:05.440 --> 00:56:06.079 State races. 1101 00:56:06.079 --> 00:56:08.119 I'd love to see more Republicans win in the State House, 1102 00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:10.280 in the state Senate because right now this one party 1103 00:56:10.360 --> 00:56:14.639 rule is it's they're passing stuff, you guys, that is 1104 00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:17.440 going to make it prohibitively expensive to live here in 1105 00:56:17.440 --> 00:56:17.800 the future. 1106 00:56:17.800 --> 00:56:18.920 It's already starting to happen. 1107 00:56:19.679 --> 00:56:22.440 We see our economy slowing down because of the overregulation 1108 00:56:22.679 --> 00:56:26.599 passed by the Democratic legislature. We've been a shrining beacon 1109 00:56:26.760 --> 00:56:29.519 of economic freedom and business friendliness for a long time. 1110 00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:32.280 We're sliding down in those scales. We've just got to 1111 00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:36.039 put more Republicans in those offices. I'm voting no on 1112 00:56:36.199 --> 00:56:40.840 retaining all of the US Supreme Court justices, just on 1113 00:56:41.119 --> 00:56:43.239 I usually vote no on retaining judges anyway. 1114 00:56:43.320 --> 00:56:45.119 But our Supreme Court is a disaster here. 1115 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:47.840 But let me get to the ballot initiatives themselves, and 1116 00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:49.199 I'm not going to get through all of these in 1117 00:56:49.280 --> 00:56:51.599 this segment, So you're gonna have to go to mandy'sblog 1118 00:56:51.679 --> 00:56:53.599 dot com and check it out for yourself. 1119 00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:54.760 It is there. 1120 00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:57.440 You can also find it on my social media. Now, 1121 00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:02.480 state ballot measures look like this measure modify the property 1122 00:57:02.559 --> 00:57:05.400 tax exemption for veterans with disabilities. I'm voting yes on 1123 00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:11.000 this because this would specifically address veterans who are not 1124 00:57:11.079 --> 00:57:14.639 one hundred percent disabled, but they are disabled in such 1125 00:57:14.679 --> 00:57:18.800 a way that makes them unemployable and that is devastating. 1126 00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:22.400 And these are directly a result of them volunteering to 1127 00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:25.840 serve our nation in the military, and I want them 1128 00:57:25.880 --> 00:57:29.400 to have this property tax exemption extended to them as well. 1129 00:57:29.519 --> 00:57:30.320 That's a yes on that. 1130 00:57:31.039 --> 00:57:35.480 Judicial Discipline Procedures and Confidentiality Measure Number or Measure Letter H. 1131 00:57:36.960 --> 00:57:38.280 This would create an. 1132 00:57:38.239 --> 00:57:42.159 Independent panel made of citizens, lawyers, and judges to conduct 1133 00:57:42.239 --> 00:57:46.960 judicial misconduct hearings and impose disciplinary actions, and allows more 1134 00:57:47.079 --> 00:57:49.480 information on those actions to be shared with the public. 1135 00:57:50.960 --> 00:57:55.280 This after several instances over the past few years where 1136 00:57:55.960 --> 00:57:59.000 especially in the Supreme Court, you had justices behaving badly, 1137 00:57:59.519 --> 00:58:03.599 but the justices were in charge of disciplining themselves and 1138 00:58:03.960 --> 00:58:06.760 they exempted themselves from quarter requirements, so there was no 1139 00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:09.840 way to find out what was actually going. So if 1140 00:58:09.920 --> 00:58:13.280 the justices don't like this new panel, they did it 1141 00:58:13.360 --> 00:58:17.360 to themselves. I am voting yes on that measure I 1142 00:58:17.719 --> 00:58:21.159 constitutional bail except for first degree murder. I am voting yes. 1143 00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:24.639 I want our judges to be able to deny bail 1144 00:58:25.400 --> 00:58:29.760 right now. In Colorado law, you can deny bail for 1145 00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:35.719 capital offenses, but we don't have a functioning death penalty anymore, 1146 00:58:36.559 --> 00:58:39.599 so it's not something that district attorneys seek. They no 1147 00:58:39.719 --> 00:58:44.360 longer seek capital punishment. So capital offenses has been changed 1148 00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:47.280 or will be changed, to say that if someone has 1149 00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:50.800 been charged with first degree murder, judges can deny bail. 1150 00:58:50.880 --> 00:58:52.840 It doesn't mean they will always deny bail, but they 1151 00:58:52.920 --> 00:58:54.320 can deny bail. 1152 00:58:54.480 --> 00:58:57.119 Measure J, so that's a yes on that one. 1153 00:58:57.159 --> 00:59:00.519 By the way, Measure J repealing the definition a marriage 1154 00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:03.559 in the Constitution. This is a housekeeping measure that I 1155 00:59:03.639 --> 00:59:08.000 am voting yes for because gay marriage has been legitimized 1156 00:59:08.000 --> 00:59:11.320 by the Supreme Court, therefore rendering any kind of state 1157 00:59:11.400 --> 00:59:14.159 action on the issue moot. And this is just cleaning 1158 00:59:14.280 --> 00:59:17.440 up the state constitution to take out the definition of 1159 00:59:17.639 --> 00:59:20.559 marriage as being between a man and a woman, because 1160 00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:23.559 that's not how it is anymore. So yes on that 1161 00:59:24.719 --> 00:59:29.280 measure K modifying constitutional election deadlines. This seems like a 1162 00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:31.519 no big deal, saying like, oh, let's just give the 1163 00:59:31.559 --> 00:59:34.480 clerk of courts another week to get their work done 1164 00:59:34.599 --> 00:59:35.239 so they can get the. 1165 00:59:35.239 --> 00:59:36.159 Ballots out in time. 1166 00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:40.440 That is a big fat no for me because it 1167 00:59:40.679 --> 00:59:44.400 limits the times that citizens have to gather signatures to 1168 00:59:44.519 --> 00:59:48.039 get their ballot issues on the ballot in the first place. 1169 00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:51.159 And with technology, there's no reason for the clerk of 1170 00:59:51.199 --> 00:59:54.000 court in any county to need more time. There's no 1171 00:59:54.199 --> 00:59:56.760 reason for the Secretary of State to need more time. 1172 00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:01.519 They can figure it out. So I'm no on modifying 1173 01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:05.840 constitutional election deadlines. Now we get down to Amendment seventy nine. 1174 01:00:07.159 --> 01:00:12.480 This not only codifies abortion rights into the Constitution, it 1175 01:00:12.679 --> 01:00:16.280 also says taxpayers will pay for other people's abortions. 1176 01:00:17.039 --> 01:00:19.280 And that's where I have a real real issue. 1177 01:00:20.280 --> 01:00:22.119 So even if you're pro choice, I hope you would 1178 01:00:22.159 --> 01:00:25.239 understand why it would be patently offensive to use the 1179 01:00:25.360 --> 01:00:28.679 tax dollars of people who believe that every life is 1180 01:00:28.800 --> 01:00:32.360 sacred to pay for abortions that they find to be 1181 01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:34.679 murder And. 1182 01:00:36.199 --> 01:00:37.199 So that's a no for me. 1183 01:00:37.599 --> 01:00:41.000 I do believe that is going to pass because Colorado 1184 01:00:41.159 --> 01:00:43.639 has never voted to limit abortion. 1185 01:00:44.840 --> 01:00:46.280 Well, maybe they have in the past, they have. 1186 01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:48.960 It in the recent past, but I hope that enough 1187 01:00:49.000 --> 01:00:51.119 people say, wait a minute, I'm for women being able 1188 01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:53.880 to choose, but I'm not down with making other people 1189 01:00:54.320 --> 01:00:58.400 taxpayers pay for it. So no on Amendment seventy nine, 1190 01:00:58.719 --> 01:01:02.440 Amendment eighty the right school choice, I am a yes 1191 01:01:02.679 --> 01:01:06.119 on this, but I think that the people who are 1192 01:01:06.199 --> 01:01:10.960 worried about this amendment being used by government to interject 1193 01:01:11.039 --> 01:01:16.719 themselves into private schools, into homeschool and communities in other 1194 01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:21.000 ways is valid. I think it's a valid concern. However, 1195 01:01:22.079 --> 01:01:24.360 the Board of Education, the state Board of Education, is 1196 01:01:24.480 --> 01:01:29.400 increasingly hostile to school choice. Districts all over the state 1197 01:01:29.639 --> 01:01:35.119 are increasingly hostile to school choice, and by passing Amendment eighty, 1198 01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:38.800 we then codify into law the right of parents to 1199 01:01:38.880 --> 01:01:41.119 make a choice about their children's education. 1200 01:01:41.280 --> 01:01:43.559 And I think that's too important to not. 1201 01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:46.360 Just take a swing at it and hope that we 1202 01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:48.440 can put some meat on the bones of this later 1203 01:01:49.320 --> 01:01:53.599 that does not involve interrupting or interfering with private school 1204 01:01:53.639 --> 01:01:59.400 and homeschool communities. I know that government always takes advantage 1205 01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:01.079 of this stuff, so it's going to be interesting to 1206 01:02:01.119 --> 01:02:06.039 see how it gets sort of decided. But I am 1207 01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:11.039 a yes on Amendment eighty Measure JJ retain additional sports 1208 01:02:11.119 --> 01:02:16.880 betting tax revenue. This is a detaboring of sports betting revenue. 1209 01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:19.000 And you know what, everybody loves to say, You know what, 1210 01:02:19.199 --> 01:02:21.840 can we just keep the extra money that the casinos 1211 01:02:21.880 --> 01:02:24.639 pay because casinos are evil and they have lots of money, 1212 01:02:24.920 --> 01:02:26.760 and we just think we should keep their money. 1213 01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:28.440 No, No, we cannot. 1214 01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:33.119 This is another chance for government to take money that 1215 01:02:33.280 --> 01:02:37.360 they do not they do not deserve. We have plenty 1216 01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:41.639 of money in Colorado government plenty, but they keep spending it, 1217 01:02:42.719 --> 01:02:44.480 and they keep spending it in such a way that 1218 01:02:44.519 --> 01:02:46.320 they're going to need more in the future, and I'm 1219 01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:48.599 not willing to give it to them. So no on 1220 01:02:48.760 --> 01:02:53.280 Measure JJ, Measure KK Firearms and Ammunition excise tax. 1221 01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:57.239 That is a big, fat no from me. This is 1222 01:02:57.320 --> 01:02:58.440 another opportunity to. 1223 01:02:58.519 --> 01:03:03.199 Disarm people at the lower socioeconomic end of the of 1224 01:03:03.280 --> 01:03:09.440 the sphere here, because by raising taxes on firearms and ammunition, 1225 01:03:09.880 --> 01:03:12.360 you make it less affordable for people who may live 1226 01:03:12.400 --> 01:03:15.360 in high crime areas to be able to protect themselves. 1227 01:03:16.199 --> 01:03:19.599 This is an anti gun measure disguised as a tax measure. 1228 01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:25.960 No firm no, absolutely no Measure one seven to prohibit 1229 01:03:26.159 --> 01:03:28.280 bobcat links and mountain lion hunting. 1230 01:03:28.719 --> 01:03:32.159 Big fat no. We don't need more biology at the 1231 01:03:32.199 --> 01:03:32.800 ballot box. 1232 01:03:33.119 --> 01:03:35.760 We see how well the wolf every introduction is going, 1233 01:03:36.360 --> 01:03:38.760 and the last thing we need is more mountain lions 1234 01:03:38.840 --> 01:03:44.159 running around, fighting with each other and appearing in our neighborhoods. 1235 01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:48.519 So no on that Measure one twenty one Parole eligibility 1236 01:03:48.559 --> 01:03:51.960 for crimes of violence. This would require that people's sentence 1237 01:03:52.039 --> 01:03:54.920 to certain types of violent crime to serve at least 1238 01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:59.159 eighty five percent of their sentence before being eligible for parole. 1239 01:03:59.559 --> 01:04:02.400 It all so ads a three strikes you're out provision. 1240 01:04:03.320 --> 01:04:06.239 If you get convicted of three of these violent felonies, 1241 01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:09.920 you are not eligible for parole anymore. And I am 1242 01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:13.159 a solid yes on this. I don't know who could 1243 01:04:13.159 --> 01:04:17.119 be a no on keeping violent people out of society 1244 01:04:17.199 --> 01:04:21.480 for even longer. Yes, Measure one twenty nine establishing a 1245 01:04:21.599 --> 01:04:23.280 veterinary professional associates. 1246 01:04:24.079 --> 01:04:25.599 I am yes on this. 1247 01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:30.000 I realize that a lot of veterinarians and veterinary agencies 1248 01:04:30.159 --> 01:04:34.119 or associations are against this, but this would kind of 1249 01:04:34.199 --> 01:04:36.760 be the equivalent of what we have now in medical 1250 01:04:36.800 --> 01:04:39.639 practices for humans, where you either meet with a physician's 1251 01:04:39.639 --> 01:04:43.159 assistant or a nurse practitioner to do your basic care. 1252 01:04:43.519 --> 01:04:46.599 But if something more significant, like surgical procedures, all of 1253 01:04:46.639 --> 01:04:47.320 that stuff has. 1254 01:04:47.280 --> 01:04:49.480 To be done, it would be done by a veterinarian. 1255 01:04:49.559 --> 01:04:54.440 But this creates a position between veterinary tech and veterinarian 1256 01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:57.800 that could possibly take some of the pressure off are 1257 01:04:57.920 --> 01:04:59.119 overworked veterinarians. 1258 01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:00.519 They view it as competition. 1259 01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:02.840 I think it would be an awesome opportunity for them 1260 01:05:02.880 --> 01:05:07.199 to expand their practice. But hey, whatever, all right, I'm 1261 01:05:07.199 --> 01:05:09.840 gonna I'm gonna We're not even through you guys, the 1262 01:05:09.920 --> 01:05:13.679 state ballid initiatives. I'm gonna take a breath and a 1263 01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:16.559 break and be back with the rest of those and 1264 01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:20.519 the Denver ballot initiatives when we get back. Measure one 1265 01:05:20.679 --> 01:05:24.239 thirty one, excuse me, let me go back here. Measure 1266 01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:27.800 one thirty funding for law enforcement. This is a big 1267 01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:30.440 one and it does not require tax increase, but it 1268 01:05:30.559 --> 01:05:33.960 does require a three hundred and fifty million dollar injection 1269 01:05:34.079 --> 01:05:38.119 from the general fund in order to shore up law enforcement. 1270 01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:43.119 After the last few years of Democrats aggressively going after 1271 01:05:43.480 --> 01:05:47.400 law enforcement and making them part of the problem, now 1272 01:05:47.519 --> 01:05:49.679 they're all like, oh wow, we need more cups. We've 1273 01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:53.559 got to do something. So this particular injection of cash 1274 01:05:55.199 --> 01:05:58.519 would be given in the form of grants to local 1275 01:05:58.599 --> 01:06:02.119 law enforcement agencies I prove officer recruitment, training, and retention. 1276 01:06:02.800 --> 01:06:05.320 It would also require the state to provide a one time, 1277 01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:09.400 one million dollar death death benefit to the family of 1278 01:06:09.519 --> 01:06:12.360 each state and local law enforcement officer killed in the 1279 01:06:12.440 --> 01:06:14.800 line of duty, and the state would be required to 1280 01:06:14.960 --> 01:06:18.320 maintain that benefit even after the initial three hundred and 1281 01:06:18.360 --> 01:06:20.679 fifty million dollar fund is depleted. 1282 01:06:21.239 --> 01:06:22.039 I'm a yes on this. 1283 01:06:23.360 --> 01:06:27.360 I'm a yes Measure one thirty one establishing all candidate 1284 01:06:27.440 --> 01:06:30.159 primary and rank choice voting general elections. 1285 01:06:30.599 --> 01:06:32.000 I said this on the show the other day. 1286 01:06:32.119 --> 01:06:34.639 I'm a yes on this because I am not happy 1287 01:06:35.199 --> 01:06:37.119 with the way our system works now, and I think 1288 01:06:37.199 --> 01:06:41.000 that this is a great opportunity to allow people who 1289 01:06:41.119 --> 01:06:47.599 run solid, positive idea and solution oriented campaigns to get 1290 01:06:47.719 --> 01:06:49.880 votes from people that otherwise would feel like, well, it 1291 01:06:49.920 --> 01:06:52.880 would to waste my vote on that person. It works 1292 01:06:53.000 --> 01:06:55.760 like this, there's a primary with everybody on the primary 1293 01:06:55.800 --> 01:06:58.960 ballot one ballot. So if you're an independent, you're a Republican, 1294 01:06:59.039 --> 01:07:01.719 you're a Democrat, you all get to vote, and you 1295 01:07:01.800 --> 01:07:04.559 get to vote one time in the primary, just one vote, 1296 01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:07.719 and the top four vote getters go through to the 1297 01:07:07.800 --> 01:07:10.880 general election. In the general election, you will rank them 1298 01:07:11.199 --> 01:07:14.039 like this, one, two, three, and four that if you 1299 01:07:14.079 --> 01:07:16.280 don't want to vote for four or ranked four, you 1300 01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:19.639 can just vote for one. If you do choose to 1301 01:07:19.920 --> 01:07:23.400 rank them one, two, three, four, and your candidate does 1302 01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:25.239 not make it out of the first one, they go 1303 01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:28.760 to your second place choice. Now, somebody asked me a 1304 01:07:28.840 --> 01:07:30.320 question that I'm going to find out the answer to. 1305 01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:33.280 They said, what if your second choice vote has already 1306 01:07:33.320 --> 01:07:36.639 been eliminated in the first round. Well, they've already been 1307 01:07:36.639 --> 01:07:39.400 eliminated because the bottom vote getter will be eliminated. So 1308 01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:42.719 I'm guessing that that round your second place vote doesn't 1309 01:07:42.800 --> 01:07:43.400 even matter. 1310 01:07:43.519 --> 01:07:46.199 But I'm going to find out. What we're doing now 1311 01:07:46.360 --> 01:07:49.920 clearly sucks. So I'm open for that. 1312 01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:52.519 If you want me to talk more with people that 1313 01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:54.679 are extremely knowledgeable, I can have them on the show 1314 01:07:55.119 --> 01:07:59.199 about ranked choice voting. Last, but not least, do I 1315 01:07:59.239 --> 01:08:01.119 have to ironup time to go through all the Denver issues. 1316 01:08:01.159 --> 01:08:03.480 Here's what I'm gonna do tomorrow. I will go through 1317 01:08:03.519 --> 01:08:07.119 the Denver issues. We'll talk about the Broomfield issues, and 1318 01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:10.960 we'll go from there. If you have something that you 1319 01:08:11.039 --> 01:08:12.679 want me to weigh in on and it's not on 1320 01:08:12.760 --> 01:08:15.400 the voter Guide, because I didn't do everything, because my goodness, 1321 01:08:16.199 --> 01:08:19.000 there's a lot of stuff in this voter guide, a 1322 01:08:19.159 --> 01:08:19.760 lot of stuff. 1323 01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:21.239 Email me the. 1324 01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:25.600 Specifics, the specific initiative, whatever it is, and I will 1325 01:08:25.680 --> 01:08:28.000 add it. I am not adding a bunch of candidates 1326 01:08:29.159 --> 01:08:31.640 because that is too complicated. There are too many races. 1327 01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:34.800 So you're gonna have to figure that out for yourself. Now, 1328 01:08:36.319 --> 01:08:39.119 when we get back, we've got a lot of stories 1329 01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:42.319 for the two minute drill. We have to talk about 1330 01:08:42.319 --> 01:08:45.960 what's happening in Israel right now. Israel basically, like here's 1331 01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:48.760 my vision, I'm gonna stand up so Kover will get 1332 01:08:48.760 --> 01:08:52.600 to enjoy this, Like right now in Israel, Benjamin Dettnaw 1333 01:08:52.600 --> 01:08:55.319 who reads and he gets the paper. Maybe gets the paper, 1334 01:08:55.319 --> 01:08:56.880 I don't know, maybe he reads it online and he 1335 01:08:56.960 --> 01:08:59.640 reads how Joe Biden is going to talk to him 1336 01:09:00.000 --> 01:09:03.760 about a ceasefire and Lebanon, and Benjamin just stands up 1337 01:09:03.800 --> 01:09:08.600 and waves the middle fingers like, yeah, we no longer 1338 01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:12.520 matter to Israel right now and I'm here for it. 1339 01:09:13.560 --> 01:09:15.600 They're getting ready to roll into Lebanon. We'll talk about 1340 01:09:15.600 --> 01:09:17.199 that in the next hour as well. 1341 01:09:17.319 --> 01:09:19.720 Plus, oh my gosh, I got so many stories on 1342 01:09:19.760 --> 01:09:21.119 the blog, I'm not even gonna get through to it. 1343 01:09:21.399 --> 01:09:25.279 Oh so, could. 1344 01:09:26.560 --> 01:09:31.359 Hunt people make the Republican Party cool? We got to 1345 01:09:31.439 --> 01:09:33.920 talk about that because that is now a thing. And 1346 01:09:34.000 --> 01:09:36.039 I mentioned this when people ask me what's the difference 1347 01:09:36.039 --> 01:09:38.920 between the RNC and the DNC, One of the things 1348 01:09:39.399 --> 01:09:41.840 that I have to say is the people at the 1349 01:09:42.000 --> 01:09:45.119 RNC were far more attractive than the people at the DNC. 1350 01:09:45.279 --> 01:09:47.119 Now that wasn't to say there weren't attractive people at 1351 01:09:47.119 --> 01:09:50.439 the DNC, because there were, but overall, just as a 1352 01:09:50.600 --> 01:09:54.720 general percentage, the RNC people were way better looking than 1353 01:09:54.760 --> 01:09:56.479 the yeah than the DNC. 1354 01:09:57.319 --> 01:09:59.640 And that could be the thing that helps Republicans. We'll 1355 01:09:59.640 --> 01:10:00.479 get into a that the. 1356 01:10:00.479 --> 01:10:04.720 Next hour KOA eight fifty AM ninety four to one FM. 1357 01:10:06.279 --> 01:10:08.920 The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock 1358 01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:10.439 Accident and injury lawyers. 1359 01:10:11.159 --> 01:10:19.000 No, it's Mandy Connell, Andy con On KOA eight fifty am. 1360 01:10:19.119 --> 01:10:20.600 Ninety four one FM. 1361 01:10:20.920 --> 01:10:29.880 So god watty three Bandy Connell keeping. 1362 01:10:29.960 --> 01:10:34.039 A real sad thing.

Drinking. 1369 01:10:51.840 --> 01:10:56.439 Alcohol is linked to six types of cancer. Experts say 1370 01:10:56.720 --> 01:11:00.239 it is toxic and no amount of alcohol is for 1371 01:11:00.319 --> 01:11:03.720 the body. Apparently, more than five percent of all cancer 1372 01:11:03.800 --> 01:11:06.960 cases are caused by drinking. It is one of the 1373 01:11:07.159 --> 01:11:11.439 three modifiable risk cancers, which means things you can change 1374 01:11:11.520 --> 01:11:14.920 to reduce your chance of getting cancer. Alcohol is the 1375 01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:19.880 third biggest behind obesity and cigarette smoking. It's time to 1376 01:11:19.960 --> 01:11:22.640 talk about how alcohol can lead to certain types of 1377 01:11:22.760 --> 01:11:26.760 cancer of the head and neck, esophageal, squamous cell carcinoma, 1378 01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:31.880 and breast, colorectal, liver, and stomach cancers. Guys, it's time 1379 01:11:31.960 --> 01:11:35.840 to realize that cancer isn't just something that happens to everyone. 1380 01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:38.079 Some people are more likely to get it than others. 1381 01:11:38.359 --> 01:11:41.720 But the reality is lifestyle choices have an impact, and 1382 01:11:41.880 --> 01:11:44.640 all of these things are things you can change. 1383 01:11:45.880 --> 01:11:46.039 Too. 1384 01:11:46.439 --> 01:11:49.000 So this is an interesting new thing to worry about 1385 01:11:49.079 --> 01:11:52.520 if you've got an electric vehicle. Vehicles that are in 1386 01:11:52.680 --> 01:11:55.760 homes that have been flooded by salt water are finding 1387 01:11:55.800 --> 01:12:00.439 out that salt water and lithium batteries do not mix. 1388 01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:02.479 It can damage the battery. 1389 01:12:02.239 --> 01:12:06.560 Components, potentially leading to dangerous chemical reactions that could cause 1390 01:12:06.600 --> 01:12:08.239 the vehicle to catch fire. 1391 01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:11.199 Now, authorities in Florida. 1392 01:12:10.880 --> 01:12:13.720 Are saying, look, if you left electric vehicles behind when 1393 01:12:13.760 --> 01:12:17.359 you evacuated, you've got to let local emergency services know 1394 01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:20.600 because then when they respond to your house being on fire, 1395 01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:23.000 they need to know why it could be on fire, 1396 01:12:23.119 --> 01:12:26.720 because that is a completely different kind of fire to fight. 1397 01:12:27.039 --> 01:12:29.079 Does make you think that if you live near saltwater, 1398 01:12:29.199 --> 01:12:31.399 maybe an electric car isn't the best choice for you. 1399 01:12:33.479 --> 01:12:33.760 It too. 1400 01:12:34.439 --> 01:12:38.239 This next story is just sad on so many levels. 1401 01:12:38.720 --> 01:12:42.439 So the Alexander Mountain Fire in Larimer County, which started 1402 01:12:42.520 --> 01:12:45.479 on July twenty ninth and ended up burning almost ten 1403 01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:50.520 thousand acres, was started by one man. And this is 1404 01:12:50.560 --> 01:12:54.960 where it gets really, really sad and pathetic. So Jason 1405 01:12:55.119 --> 01:12:58.600 Alexander Hobby, a forty nine year old Loveland man, faces 1406 01:12:58.680 --> 01:13:01.800 charges of first degree are send, two counts of impersonating 1407 01:13:01.880 --> 01:13:05.960 a peace officer, felony, menacing, false imprisonment, and impersonating a 1408 01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:06.960 public servant. 1409 01:13:07.520 --> 01:13:10.880 He started the fires so he could be the hero. 1410 01:13:11.560 --> 01:13:13.960 Now, I have known people like this in my life 1411 01:13:14.359 --> 01:13:17.960 who so desperately wanted to be part of something important 1412 01:13:18.039 --> 01:13:20.840 and bigger than them that they've pretended to be things 1413 01:13:20.920 --> 01:13:23.880 they aren't. There's a very stolen valor sort of feel 1414 01:13:23.920 --> 01:13:26.359 to this when they found when they went to his 1415 01:13:26.479 --> 01:13:31.159 house to search his house, they found all kinds of 1416 01:13:31.439 --> 01:13:35.399 T shirts and firefighter gear and everything else you could 1417 01:13:35.399 --> 01:13:39.039 possibly imagine for a guy who wasn't at all a firefighter. 1418 01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:42.600 So now this man destroyed ten thousand acres structures, put 1419 01:13:42.600 --> 01:13:44.199 people out of their homes for about a week and 1420 01:13:44.239 --> 01:13:46.319 a half, all because he wanted to. 1421 01:13:46.319 --> 01:13:47.880 Be seen as a hero. 1422 01:13:48.159 --> 01:13:52.199 You guys, that is like the saddest, most pathetic personality 1423 01:13:52.319 --> 01:13:53.960 defect I've ever heard. 1424 01:13:54.119 --> 01:13:55.600 And now he's probably gonna. 1425 01:13:55.359 --> 01:13:57.720 Go to jail for it too. 1426 01:13:58.239 --> 01:14:01.880 I'm just gonna say this to JBS in Greeley. JBS 1427 01:14:01.960 --> 01:14:06.119 Foods meatpacking Plant in Greeley needs to tighten themselves up, 1428 01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:09.560 because we already know that animal rights activists are trying 1429 01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:13.399 to get the meatpacking plant in Denver shut down for 1430 01:14:13.680 --> 01:14:14.520 specious reasons. 1431 01:14:14.560 --> 01:14:15.800 They don't have much to do with them. 1432 01:14:16.279 --> 01:14:19.680 They're coming after JBS next, especially after a bunch of 1433 01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:23.159 Haitian immigrants were lord. They say they were lured to 1434 01:14:23.239 --> 01:14:26.279 the plant with promises that the plant would help them 1435 01:14:26.359 --> 01:14:29.840 find a place to live, and when they get there, 1436 01:14:30.439 --> 01:14:33.039 they're finding out that that place to live, according to 1437 01:14:33.119 --> 01:14:36.920 these migrants, was eight or ten people inside of one 1438 01:14:37.000 --> 01:14:41.600 motel room. The union alleges that as many forty people 1439 01:14:41.760 --> 01:14:43.159 lived in one hotel room. 1440 01:14:43.520 --> 01:14:44.479 And I'm just going to say this. 1441 01:14:45.560 --> 01:14:49.680 When I lived in Southwest Florida, I saw a migrant 1442 01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:53.720 worker housing in Mochallely, Florida, and it was the most 1443 01:14:53.840 --> 01:14:56.960 horrifying thing I've ever seen in my life. Imagine a 1444 01:14:57.079 --> 01:15:00.720 single wide trailer with like forty or fifty peeople living 1445 01:15:00.760 --> 01:15:00.960 in it. 1446 01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:04.199 So this is like kind of tracks for me, like 1447 01:15:04.359 --> 01:15:05.800 I believe this could be happening. 1448 01:15:06.359 --> 01:15:09.279 But right now, when meat packing and just generally eating 1449 01:15:09.359 --> 01:15:12.439 meat are under constant attack in this state, they need 1450 01:15:12.520 --> 01:15:15.840 to get it together, they say. JBS says they fired 1451 01:15:15.920 --> 01:15:19.319 their HR managers to make sure that people are Let me, 1452 01:15:19.439 --> 01:15:21.880 let me read this actual statement. We have put new 1453 01:15:22.119 --> 01:15:24.840 HR leaders in place at the facility and added new 1454 01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:29.479 recruitment training programs to ensure our teams follow JBS's strict 1455 01:15:29.840 --> 01:15:34.600 hiring compliance policies. Any allegations of poor living conditions are 1456 01:15:35.039 --> 01:15:38.239 unacceptable and upsetting, So what are they going to do 1457 01:15:38.279 --> 01:15:43.119 about it? They better do something about it now. It 1458 01:15:43.239 --> 01:15:47.159 too good news everybody. Kamala Harris went to the border 1459 01:15:47.279 --> 01:15:51.199 last Friday. Yes, and at the border of which she is, 1460 01:15:51.880 --> 01:15:54.760 the borders are. She told everybody that. 1461 01:15:54.880 --> 01:15:57.800 As soon as she was elected, she was going to 1462 01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:02.880 do something about this illegal immigrant business. That's it, that's 1463 01:16:02.880 --> 01:16:05.399 the whole story, because you know, she's at four years 1464 01:16:05.439 --> 01:16:07.760 and hasn't done anything, so really it's just like a 1465 01:16:07.840 --> 01:16:11.640 whole stupid thing that's happening right now, and they don't 1466 01:16:11.720 --> 01:16:16.000 really expect her to do anything. About that. So that's 1467 01:16:16.119 --> 01:16:19.319 that's the whole story. That's all you need to know too. 1468 01:16:19.840 --> 01:16:24.359 And finally, I have a story that is wait, hang on, 1469 01:16:24.479 --> 01:16:28.359 I didn't grab it right, the coolest thing made in Colorado. 1470 01:16:28.439 --> 01:16:30.520 Now I've talked about this contest. I think it's super cool. 1471 01:16:30.840 --> 01:16:33.600 This is the first time I've ever actually owned a 1472 01:16:33.760 --> 01:16:34.279 product that. 1473 01:16:34.399 --> 01:16:37.600 Was named the coolest product in Colorado, and it is. 1474 01:16:38.319 --> 01:16:40.840 It is the DNA Vibe. It is a red light 1475 01:16:41.039 --> 01:16:44.520 therapy machine that I have been using now to treat 1476 01:16:44.640 --> 01:16:48.039 my torn meniscus and my torn cartilage in my knee. 1477 01:16:48.319 --> 01:16:49.920 And I don't know if it's fixing it, but I 1478 01:16:49.960 --> 01:16:52.319 will tell you this. It takes away the pain. And 1479 01:16:52.479 --> 01:16:55.600 now it has been named the coolest thing made in Colorado. 1480 01:16:55.640 --> 01:16:58.199 You should read about it if you have you know, 1481 01:16:58.399 --> 01:17:00.960 arthritis pain, stuff like that. This thing is amazing and 1482 01:17:01.039 --> 01:17:02.800 I don't know if it's really working like it could 1483 01:17:02.840 --> 01:17:05.600 be the Placibo effect. I have no clue, but it's working. 1484 01:17:06.079 --> 01:17:08.279 So if it's just a Placibo, I'm doing it. But 1485 01:17:08.439 --> 01:17:12.560 now it is one the coolest thing made in Colorado. That, 1486 01:17:12.800 --> 01:17:16.279 my friends, is your two minute drill. I do want 1487 01:17:16.319 --> 01:17:18.039 to talk about this story next because I think it's 1488 01:17:18.119 --> 01:17:22.479 kind of interesting. Newsweek magazine, which is no longer a magazine. 1489 01:17:22.520 --> 01:17:24.439 I don't think they actually publish, They just have their 1490 01:17:24.479 --> 01:17:33.000 thing online. Newsweek magazine actually did an article the headline 1491 01:17:33.800 --> 01:17:36.479 how hot girls became the rights new obsession. 1492 01:17:37.439 --> 01:17:40.560 Now that in and of itself is stupid. Vacouver. 1493 01:17:40.640 --> 01:17:42.680 When did you lose as a man? When did you 1494 01:17:42.800 --> 01:17:44.439 lose your taste for hot women? 1495 01:17:44.600 --> 01:17:44.640 Like? 1496 01:17:44.720 --> 01:17:47.439 When did you stop being able to appreciate hot women? 1497 01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:48.359 When did that happen for you? 1498 01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:50.640 Wow, this seems like a question is going to get 1499 01:17:50.640 --> 01:17:51.159 me in trouble. 1500 01:17:51.359 --> 01:17:54.239 Well, you're not running around chasing them. I'm just talking 1501 01:17:54.239 --> 01:17:57.119 about appreciating hot women. When did you lose that as 1502 01:17:57.119 --> 01:17:57.439 a dude? 1503 01:17:57.520 --> 01:17:58.680 I don't think you lose it? 1504 01:17:58.800 --> 01:18:01.680 Correct, That is a core answer. My husband will be 1505 01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:05.079 on his deathbed and he'll be in a coma and 1506 01:18:05.479 --> 01:18:08.079 a super hot nurse will walk in and he will 1507 01:18:08.119 --> 01:18:15.079 immediately be like, Hello, men do not lose their love 1508 01:18:15.359 --> 01:18:16.079 of hot women. 1509 01:18:16.239 --> 01:18:19.760 But Newsweek, listen to this. This is hilarious. It all 1510 01:18:19.880 --> 01:18:22.239 began with Sidney Sweeney's cleavage. 1511 01:18:22.960 --> 01:18:25.920 In March, the twenty seven year old actress hosted Saturday 1512 01:18:26.000 --> 01:18:28.760 Night Live for the first time, wearing low cut outfits 1513 01:18:28.840 --> 01:18:31.239 during the start and clothes of the show, which featured 1514 01:18:31.239 --> 01:18:34.199 a number of jokes about her physical appearance, including a 1515 01:18:34.239 --> 01:18:38.960 sketch where she played a Hooters waitress. At the time, 1516 01:18:39.079 --> 01:18:42.560 Sweeney's appearance sparked much discourse and was lauded by a 1517 01:18:42.640 --> 01:18:45.760 number of right wing commentators as the death of woke. 1518 01:18:46.720 --> 01:18:48.279 The actress had become a so. 1519 01:18:48.439 --> 01:18:51.239 Called conservative hot girl, a pin up for the modern 1520 01:18:51.319 --> 01:18:54.239 day right wing movement as it attempts to expand the 1521 01:18:54.279 --> 01:18:58.520 appeal of conservatism beyond the confines of its largely older, 1522 01:18:58.760 --> 01:19:00.039 white male. 1523 01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:03.039 We'll get into the rest of this later, but it's 1524 01:19:03.359 --> 01:19:05.840 just hilarious. 1525 01:19:06.159 --> 01:19:09.479 That all of a sudden, if you're a hot woman, 1526 01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:13.399 you're somehow just gonna be objectified by the right. I 1527 01:19:13.520 --> 01:19:16.000 actually think this is the key to the Republican Party's future, 1528 01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:21.039 Republicans daring to like to look. 1529 01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:24.319 At hot girls. I know it's crazy, right, It's so crazy. 1530 01:19:26.600 --> 01:19:32.039 The conservative hot girl isn't a particularly new phenomena. Victoria can, an. 1531 01:19:31.960 --> 01:19:35.199 Associated professor at the University of East Anglia in the UK, 1532 01:19:35.840 --> 01:19:39.199 told Newsweek women have been positioned through the lens of 1533 01:19:39.359 --> 01:19:44.560 masculinist imagery and conservative populist politics for a very long time. 1534 01:19:46.279 --> 01:19:49.239 That's because people like to look at hot women. Guess 1535 01:19:49.279 --> 01:19:52.479 what newslash women like to look at hot women not 1536 01:19:52.600 --> 01:19:55.920 in a sexual way. Well, I can appreciate a woman 1537 01:19:55.960 --> 01:19:59.000 who has put it all together. It looks great. I'm 1538 01:19:59.000 --> 01:20:00.920 also that woman in the batht It was like, dang, 1539 01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:04.600 you look good. So this is really really funny. 1540 01:20:04.600 --> 01:20:06.600 I want to answer some of these text messages very 1541 01:20:06.680 --> 01:20:09.239 very quickly, Mandy. I thought regen rev took care of 1542 01:20:09.279 --> 01:20:12.279 all your knee pain. I have an actual injury, and 1543 01:20:12.359 --> 01:20:15.680 I went to regen Revolution first and they were like, Mandy, 1544 01:20:15.960 --> 01:20:20.720 we can't fix this. But regen Revolution also uses red 1545 01:20:20.800 --> 01:20:24.680 light therapy. So I'm not going rogue here. I'm just saying, 1546 01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:26.960 you know, I'm gonna throw everything at a kind of person. 1547 01:20:27.000 --> 01:20:30.000 I'm also going to physical therapy to take care of 1548 01:20:30.079 --> 01:20:34.159 my torn medial meniscus and my torn cartilage under my kneecap. 1549 01:20:35.560 --> 01:20:39.359 So let's see here, Mandy. 1550 01:20:39.600 --> 01:20:42.000 Every man knows the sound of a woman in heels 1551 01:20:42.079 --> 01:20:45.239 walking on a herd surface, and we all look it's 1552 01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:48.600 in the male DNA. Men are visual creatures, and I 1553 01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:50.279 think one of the things that I try to impart 1554 01:20:50.319 --> 01:20:53.920 to young women about relationships if they ask for my advice, 1555 01:20:54.039 --> 01:20:57.680 and sometimes they do, is that men are going to 1556 01:20:57.880 --> 01:21:00.800 look right, even if you're in a series relationship with 1557 01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:06.039 someone you love, men are going to look and my 1558 01:21:06.199 --> 01:21:09.039 husband and I I mean sometimes I will literally go, 1559 01:21:09.199 --> 01:21:11.760 did you see that? You know if somebody walks by 1560 01:21:11.840 --> 01:21:14.279 and the girls are out, you know what I mean, like, 1561 01:21:14.359 --> 01:21:14.800 did you see this? 1562 01:21:14.960 --> 01:21:15.000 Is? 1563 01:21:15.079 --> 01:21:18.520 Of course I saw it. It's like you're an amateur everything. 1564 01:21:18.600 --> 01:21:21.239 I didn't see that, Mandy. 1565 01:21:21.319 --> 01:21:23.920 I was watching ENNISNL with Sydney Sweeney. All I said, 1566 01:21:23.960 --> 01:21:27.720 with some excitement was, boobs are back my wife's side. 1567 01:21:28.159 --> 01:21:31.000 My daughter might have been mortified. Yeah, your daughter, Your 1568 01:21:31.079 --> 01:21:33.840 daughter was mortified. I can assure you of that, sir. 1569 01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:35.680 Uugh. 1570 01:21:36.800 --> 01:21:39.079 I want to be objective by women on the right, 1571 01:21:39.319 --> 01:21:42.239 says this texter. I can't think of basically any women 1572 01:21:42.279 --> 01:21:44.000 in the Fox lineup I wouldn't want to have keep 1573 01:21:44.039 --> 01:21:47.239 me in their basement. They're all hotties. And that, my friends, 1574 01:21:47.439 --> 01:21:50.199 is what the women at the Republican National Convention looked at. 1575 01:21:50.880 --> 01:21:57.640 And here's where I'm proposing Republicans lean in right, become 1576 01:21:58.239 --> 01:22:03.119 the party of the hot people, become the party where 1577 01:22:03.239 --> 01:22:07.880 everyone at a party looks good, become that person. 1578 01:22:08.479 --> 01:22:09.880 Become that party. 1579 01:22:09.880 --> 01:22:12.479 Because even if people are not attractive, they want to 1580 01:22:12.560 --> 01:22:14.399 believe they're attractive, and they want to hang out with 1581 01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:17.279 people that they believe are attractive. This is one of 1582 01:22:17.279 --> 01:22:20.319 the things that a lot of Republicans in Colorado not 1583 01:22:20.439 --> 01:22:23.359 the party because they're useless. But Republicans in Colorado are like, 1584 01:22:23.439 --> 01:22:26.279 how can we make our party fun and funny and 1585 01:22:26.479 --> 01:22:29.079 entertaining again? And I'm telling you right now, hot women 1586 01:22:29.199 --> 01:22:31.800 and the Babylon be those are the keys to success 1587 01:22:32.600 --> 01:22:34.560 for the Republican Party. All throw in hot men to 1588 01:22:35.159 --> 01:22:38.960 whatever is fine. Those are the keys to success. You 1589 01:22:39.119 --> 01:22:41.880 have to make your party a party that people want 1590 01:22:41.920 --> 01:22:44.399 to be a part of. And it sounds really surface 1591 01:22:44.439 --> 01:22:45.079 and really shallow. 1592 01:22:45.119 --> 01:22:46.279 And I know that there are many of you out 1593 01:22:46.279 --> 01:22:48.439 there who are eye rolling, like this is so ridiculous. 1594 01:22:49.159 --> 01:22:49.960 Trust me on this. 1595 01:22:52.119 --> 01:22:58.920 I have in my lifetime seen really miserable people successfully 1596 01:22:59.000 --> 01:23:03.359 attract other peace people because they simply hung out with 1597 01:23:03.600 --> 01:23:05.680 really attractive people in their circle. 1598 01:23:05.760 --> 01:23:08.039 And everybody wants to be a part of that. So 1599 01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:11.800 why not use it? Just because you've ordered doesn't mean 1600 01:23:11.840 --> 01:23:15.600 you can't look at the menu. Thank you, sir. Thank 1601 01:23:15.680 --> 01:23:17.840 you very much, sir. That's exactly what I'm talking about. 1602 01:23:18.079 --> 01:23:20.279 Uh, Cooper, has your wife ever caught you, you know, 1603 01:23:20.439 --> 01:23:22.399 taking a look at someone. 1604 01:23:23.800 --> 01:23:25.560 I'm sure she has. It's been a while though. 1605 01:23:26.279 --> 01:23:28.520 So my favorite story of Chuck and I were sitting 1606 01:23:28.520 --> 01:23:31.000 at a restaurant. We were in Beaver Creek. It was 1607 01:23:31.079 --> 01:23:32.880 mud season, so there wasn't a lot of people there, right, 1608 01:23:33.239 --> 01:23:36.239 so we walk in. The hostess walks over and seats us. 1609 01:23:36.319 --> 01:23:38.640 She is a young woman, she is generously endowed, and 1610 01:23:38.720 --> 01:23:39.520 the girls are out. 1611 01:23:39.920 --> 01:23:40.199 Okay. 1612 01:23:40.800 --> 01:23:43.199 About twenty minutes later, she comes over to the table 1613 01:23:43.319 --> 01:23:46.319 right next to ours, leans over forward, and begins to 1614 01:23:46.359 --> 01:23:47.000 rub the table. 1615 01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:51.880 Okay, she's three to four feet to the side. Chuck, 1616 01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:55.159 of course, you know, looks over there, and when he 1617 01:23:55.239 --> 01:23:57.159 looks back at me, I'm scaring at him. 1618 01:23:58.159 --> 01:23:59.640 And as she walks away, he just looks at me 1619 01:23:59.640 --> 01:24:03.279 and goes, they were right there. And I couldn't argue 1620 01:24:03.319 --> 01:24:04.840 with that. I was while they were they I mean, 1621 01:24:04.840 --> 01:24:08.479 they were right there. Anyway, when we. 1622 01:24:08.479 --> 01:24:10.520 Get back, we're gonna shift gears a little bit. We've 1623 01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:12.760 got to talk about what's happening in Israel right now. 1624 01:24:13.720 --> 01:24:14.119 It is. 1625 01:24:15.880 --> 01:24:17.800 What they're Wow, that's next. 1626 01:24:18.079 --> 01:24:21.279 Some stuff happened in Israel and Lebanon over the weekend 1627 01:24:21.560 --> 01:24:27.399 that is significant in demonstrating how far the United States 1628 01:24:27.439 --> 01:24:30.279 of America has fallen as an influential. 1629 01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:30.560 Part of the world. 1630 01:24:31.399 --> 01:24:31.600 Now. 1631 01:24:32.960 --> 01:24:40.079 Israel over the last several weeks has in very surgical fashion, 1632 01:24:41.079 --> 01:24:48.840 very surgical fashion, degraded and destroyed Hesbela's entire upper management deck. 1633 01:24:49.960 --> 01:24:51.880 I mean, they've taken out, you guys, like twenty five 1634 01:24:52.000 --> 01:24:56.760 people in the highest levels of HESBLA, including over the weekend, 1635 01:24:57.119 --> 01:25:03.399 Hazan Israla, the leader hasibula for decades, but they're not 1636 01:25:03.520 --> 01:25:04.079 stopping there. 1637 01:25:05.079 --> 01:25:08.359 Even as President Joe Biden. I mean, I'm guessing he 1638 01:25:08.439 --> 01:25:10.279 said it. It could have been someone sitting with a 1639 01:25:10.880 --> 01:25:13.000 hand up his back like they were talking with a 1640 01:25:13.079 --> 01:25:16.680 ventriloqus dummy. I don't know, because dude is obviously not 1641 01:25:16.920 --> 01:25:19.239 capable of being president, but yet here he is. So 1642 01:25:19.560 --> 01:25:21.000 the President Biden is said. 1643 01:25:20.920 --> 01:25:24.159 What we're getting with our world partners, and we're asking, 1644 01:25:24.239 --> 01:25:28.600 we're we're proposing a ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel in 1645 01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:29.880 order to use. 1646 01:25:29.840 --> 01:25:34.159 Diplomacy to ratchet things down before things get bigger in 1647 01:25:34.279 --> 01:25:34.720 the region. 1648 01:25:35.800 --> 01:25:38.560 And you know what, Israel did no, we're good. 1649 01:25:39.760 --> 01:25:44.800 Israel instead is massing troops and tanks and people on 1650 01:25:45.239 --> 01:25:48.399 the border of Lebanon, which is their northern border. So 1651 01:25:48.960 --> 01:25:51.760 if you've never seen him out of Israel, it's very skinny, right, 1652 01:25:51.840 --> 01:25:54.279 It's a very skinny state. And at the very top 1653 01:25:54.399 --> 01:25:56.479 you have the border with Lebanon, and then it goes 1654 01:25:56.560 --> 01:25:59.800 down and you have the border with Syria. Now I've 1655 01:25:59.800 --> 01:26:03.520 been into these borders in Israel. What we can't really 1656 01:26:03.760 --> 01:26:08.159 wrap our heads around is that for I don't know 1657 01:26:08.239 --> 01:26:12.359 how many miles, maybe a mile, half mile around the border, 1658 01:26:12.880 --> 01:26:15.720 I should ask my nephew this to get better statistics 1659 01:26:15.800 --> 01:26:18.399 for you. But about a half mile up to the border, 1660 01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:23.079 it is covered with land mines. Like there's signs everywhere 1661 01:26:23.119 --> 01:26:24.399 that say if you go off this road. 1662 01:26:24.279 --> 01:26:26.119 You can step on a landline and die. Pretty much, 1663 01:26:26.159 --> 01:26:27.000 that's what they're going to tell you. 1664 01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:28.279 So it's not like this. 1665 01:26:28.359 --> 01:26:29.479 Border is an open border. 1666 01:26:29.560 --> 01:26:34.039 It's already very well protected because of all the land mines. 1667 01:26:34.319 --> 01:26:39.920 But Israel is massing troops and tanks on Lebanon's border. 1668 01:26:40.000 --> 01:26:43.880 At the same time, they have been carrying out small 1669 01:26:43.960 --> 01:26:48.640 targeted raids into southern Lebanon, gathering intelligence and probing and 1670 01:26:48.840 --> 01:26:53.640 ahead of a possible wider ground incursion. And what this 1671 01:26:53.840 --> 01:26:57.359 says is that it doesn't matter what Joe Biden says. 1672 01:26:57.800 --> 01:27:01.319 Israel has decided they're going to fight this fight until 1673 01:27:01.439 --> 01:27:02.319 it's over. 1674 01:27:03.680 --> 01:27:03.840 Now. 1675 01:27:03.920 --> 01:27:06.600 We haven't heard a peep out of Hamas in the 1676 01:27:06.720 --> 01:27:10.680 last what several weeks now, because Hamas is like four 1677 01:27:10.800 --> 01:27:13.600 guys in a tunnel with a Wuiji board trying to 1678 01:27:13.600 --> 01:27:14.479 figure out how to get. 1679 01:27:14.399 --> 01:27:14.640 Out of it. 1680 01:27:14.800 --> 01:27:14.920 Right. 1681 01:27:14.960 --> 01:27:18.560 I mean, Hamas has been utterly and completely degraded in 1682 01:27:18.680 --> 01:27:22.239 terms of their capabilities on attacking Israel going forward, and 1683 01:27:22.359 --> 01:27:25.479 they are going to do the exact same thing with Hesbela. 1684 01:27:26.800 --> 01:27:28.039 They've been destroying tunnels. 1685 01:27:28.279 --> 01:27:32.000 They have demonstrated to Hesbela that not only do they 1686 01:27:32.159 --> 01:27:37.720 have eyes and ears everywhere, they know exactly where these 1687 01:27:37.760 --> 01:27:41.600 people are. The Biden administration is from the Wall Street Journal. 1688 01:27:41.760 --> 01:27:45.560 The Biden administration expects an imminent Israeli invasion of Lebanon. 1689 01:27:46.039 --> 01:27:48.840 US officials said much of the fighting is expected to 1690 01:27:48.880 --> 01:27:51.840 take place along the Israeli Lebanese border, though there is 1691 01:27:51.960 --> 01:27:55.079 concern in Washington that the war could expand geographically and 1692 01:27:55.239 --> 01:27:59.439 last longer than a short term campaign and Israeli officials 1693 01:27:59.439 --> 01:28:02.600 said that if there were to be a broader ground operation, 1694 01:28:02.880 --> 01:28:07.279 it would feature and this is a quote, localized limited 1695 01:28:07.399 --> 01:28:10.960 raids against Hesbela targets along the border with the objective 1696 01:28:11.000 --> 01:28:14.399 of destroying the capabilities of the road wind forces that's 1697 01:28:14.439 --> 01:28:18.680 the militant group Special Operations Unit. Israeli forces assess that 1698 01:28:18.760 --> 01:28:21.920 the group is making preparations for an attack as Amstad 1699 01:28:21.960 --> 01:28:26.640 before October seventh, including positioning closed weapons and other materials 1700 01:28:27.119 --> 01:28:33.439 along the border, and Israel's basically like, you know what, Nope, We're. 1701 01:28:33.319 --> 01:28:37.359 Not doing that again. And the most fascinating part of 1702 01:28:37.439 --> 01:28:41.399 this entire story about what happened over the weekend is 1703 01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:44.600 that the people of Lebanon, who, by the way, are 1704 01:28:44.840 --> 01:28:50.239 completely freaked out because now they know Israel has been 1705 01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:53.359 woven into Lebanese society. 1706 01:28:53.560 --> 01:28:55.159 And another part of this whole thing that we're not 1707 01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:58.439 talking about is in the north of Lebanon, hesbel is 1708 01:28:58.520 --> 01:29:01.479 not in control. So in the north of Lebanon people 1709 01:29:01.520 --> 01:29:04.760 were celebrating, they were partying when they heard in Israla 1710 01:29:04.880 --> 01:29:05.239 was killed. 1711 01:29:05.600 --> 01:29:07.239 They were excited because. 1712 01:29:07.000 --> 01:29:09.640 This guy's a butcher, he's a horrible people who's oppressed 1713 01:29:09.680 --> 01:29:12.680 the people of Lebanon for decades now. So there's this 1714 01:29:12.800 --> 01:29:16.000 group of people in Lebanon in the north that are like, yes, 1715 01:29:16.119 --> 01:29:17.199 let's get rid of Hesbelah. 1716 01:29:17.239 --> 01:29:17.640 They suck. 1717 01:29:18.760 --> 01:29:20.960 And then the southern part of Lebanon is completely taken 1718 01:29:21.000 --> 01:29:23.840 over and run by Hesbela. So what's happening now is 1719 01:29:23.880 --> 01:29:27.000 that the citizens in Beirut and other places in the 1720 01:29:27.079 --> 01:29:31.479 south of Lebanon are trying to leave. They're trying to 1721 01:29:31.560 --> 01:29:35.119 go right, They're trying to flee north, only be finding 1722 01:29:35.199 --> 01:29:37.479 out when they get north that these people are like, yeah, 1723 01:29:37.520 --> 01:29:39.439 you bring in Hesbela with you because we're not interested. 1724 01:29:41.479 --> 01:29:49.239 So listen to this story. So this story is from a. 1725 01:29:49.640 --> 01:29:55.279 Lebanese reporter who says that the people of Lebanon are 1726 01:29:55.359 --> 01:30:00.960 not mad. They're not venting their anger at Israel. They 1727 01:30:01.039 --> 01:30:07.239 want to know who've rated out Nazraala. Lebanese citizens held 1728 01:30:07.279 --> 01:30:10.239 a demonstration in Beirut, with dozens of young people standing 1729 01:30:10.279 --> 01:30:13.199 in the street, holding Lebanese flags and remaining silent. 1730 01:30:14.039 --> 01:30:16.439 Although they are still afraid of Hesbela operatives. 1731 01:30:16.520 --> 01:30:18.439 Their goal is to convey a message to the world 1732 01:30:18.800 --> 01:30:22.239 that Lebanon will remain Lebanon with or without the terrorists 1733 01:30:22.359 --> 01:30:26.319 organization and its leaders who have been eliminated. What's interesting 1734 01:30:26.439 --> 01:30:30.720 to discover that the people pointed fingers at Iran, not 1735 01:30:30.920 --> 01:30:35.880 at Israel. They abandon him, they said, in Beirut, Nezraala 1736 01:30:36.039 --> 01:30:40.119 was revered in Tehran's supreme leader Ali Kamani, brought him closer, 1737 01:30:40.439 --> 01:30:44.880 made him an ally, and abandon him. Kamani, so the 1738 01:30:44.960 --> 01:30:49.119 supporters claimed, has a habit of abandoning his allies. First 1739 01:30:49.439 --> 01:30:54.439 he abandoned Ismael Heimiea, then all of Gaza, and now Nesrali. 1740 01:30:54.560 --> 01:30:56.560 Why do I share that with you? Because does it matter? 1741 01:30:57.600 --> 01:30:57.720 Oh? 1742 01:30:57.800 --> 01:30:58.279 It matters. 1743 01:30:58.319 --> 01:31:02.520 So big One has been the big saber rattler. They've 1744 01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:05.399 been the ones arming the Huthis and Hesbela and Amas. 1745 01:31:05.640 --> 01:31:06.479 They've been very. 1746 01:31:06.479 --> 01:31:10.439 Happy to let their proxies take the hit. But then 1747 01:31:10.680 --> 01:31:13.680 when their proxies are taking the hit, where is Iran? 1748 01:31:14.479 --> 01:31:18.359 Nowhere? As a matter of fact, Iran's like uh yeah, 1749 01:31:18.760 --> 01:31:21.680 They're like, you know, Hesbul is calling like ring ring, 1750 01:31:22.119 --> 01:31:22.520 ring ring. 1751 01:31:23.279 --> 01:31:25.600 Iran picks up, They're like, hey, this is hesbla. Aron's 1752 01:31:25.600 --> 01:31:27.920 like rong number and hangs up. I mean, I don't 1753 01:31:27.920 --> 01:31:29.399 know if it actually happens like that, It kind of 1754 01:31:29.399 --> 01:31:33.359 feels like it should so now the people of Lebanon 1755 01:31:33.439 --> 01:31:39.319 are like who betrayed Hesbla. Conspiracy theories are circulating, with 1756 01:31:39.399 --> 01:31:41.840 one of them claiming that the Iranians betrayed him to 1757 01:31:41.920 --> 01:31:45.199 reach a new nuclear agreement with the Americans. According to 1758 01:31:45.279 --> 01:31:48.359 this theory, the Iranians lied to Nazraala that the fighting 1759 01:31:48.399 --> 01:31:50.760 against Israel would not last long, but. 1760 01:31:50.880 --> 01:31:52.159 Gave him up to the Israelis. 1761 01:31:52.600 --> 01:31:55.479 Some believe it was the Syrian intelligence officers who led 1762 01:31:55.560 --> 01:31:59.800 Israel to Nezrala. Either way, someone betrayed Hesbela and Israel 1763 01:31:59.880 --> 01:32:04.199 was able to discover the exact location of the organization's leadership. 1764 01:32:04.319 --> 01:32:08.960 Somehow Israel managed to discover the location and the participants 1765 01:32:09.319 --> 01:32:14.359 of the secret meeting. Now, somebody on Twitter posted a 1766 01:32:14.399 --> 01:32:16.159 story earlier and I didn't have time to grab it. 1767 01:32:16.159 --> 01:32:16.920 And put it on the blog. 1768 01:32:17.319 --> 01:32:20.119 But it's from two years ago, in twenty twenty two. 1769 01:32:21.359 --> 01:32:26.159 In twenty twenty two, Iran had created a special basically 1770 01:32:26.239 --> 01:32:32.600 a department that was in charge of looking for Israeli 1771 01:32:32.880 --> 01:32:38.720 spies in the ways that Israel has infiltrated Iran only 1772 01:32:38.760 --> 01:32:40.960 come to find out much later the guy they hired 1773 01:32:41.439 --> 01:32:47.720 to do that job was Masade. He was in Israeli spy. Now, 1774 01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:51.680 I laughed and laughed when I saw that. Oh my goodness, 1775 01:32:52.800 --> 01:32:56.560 so good, so funny. But the reality is is that 1776 01:32:56.720 --> 01:32:59.000 no one it has blot and feel safe. And I'm 1777 01:32:59.039 --> 01:33:02.680 okay with that. No one in Hesbela should feel like 1778 01:33:02.840 --> 01:33:07.159 they are not the target of a potential assassination in 1779 01:33:07.239 --> 01:33:13.000 the near future. And Israel's not stopping, and no one 1780 01:33:13.399 --> 01:33:16.119 is going to get Israel to stop. The US has 1781 01:33:16.159 --> 01:33:19.560 been trying to urge Israel to seek a quote diplomatic 1782 01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:23.640 solution and keep any ground operation targeted. 1783 01:33:23.720 --> 01:33:24.119 But guess what. 1784 01:33:24.960 --> 01:33:28.000 The US also told Israel not to go into Rafa. 1785 01:33:28.079 --> 01:33:29.560 You know what happened when we went into Rafa. 1786 01:33:30.279 --> 01:33:33.439 They completely dismantled what was left of Hamas and now 1787 01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:35.720 they've just got a bunch of rats in the tunnels 1788 01:33:36.159 --> 01:33:37.800 that they have to go through and find. 1789 01:33:39.159 --> 01:33:41.000 After the United States said don't do that. 1790 01:33:42.199 --> 01:33:45.199 So now Israel, when they roll into Lebanon, they will 1791 01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:46.640 take care of what they need to take care of. 1792 01:33:46.720 --> 01:33:48.640 And it's widely believed. 1793 01:33:49.800 --> 01:33:53.119 That the reason they're going into southern Lebanon is simply 1794 01:33:53.239 --> 01:33:58.640 to disable any opportunity for Hesbela to strike Israel anymore. 1795 01:33:58.720 --> 01:34:01.960 Because since October seventh, there has been a non stop 1796 01:34:02.119 --> 01:34:08.560 barrage of rockets coming into northern Israel. About seventy thousand 1797 01:34:08.640 --> 01:34:11.319 Israelis are displaced. By the way, not all of those 1798 01:34:11.399 --> 01:34:14.960 Israelis are Jewish, some of them are Arabs, some of 1799 01:34:15.000 --> 01:34:19.319 them are Drus, some of them are Israeli Jews. But 1800 01:34:19.399 --> 01:34:21.560 they've been out of their homes for a year because 1801 01:34:21.600 --> 01:34:24.840 Hesbela will not stop firing rockets at them. So Israel 1802 01:34:24.960 --> 01:34:29.159 is looking to completely destroy the ability of Hesbela to keep. 1803 01:34:29.039 --> 01:34:32.800 Doing those attacks. But in the process they've really. 1804 01:34:32.720 --> 01:34:35.720 Exposed through the war against Tomas and the war against Hesbela, 1805 01:34:36.000 --> 01:34:38.319 they have exposed to Iran as the paper tiger they 1806 01:34:38.359 --> 01:34:43.479 are for all of the fear that the Biden administration 1807 01:34:43.640 --> 01:34:47.399 has about Iran, And don't kid yourself, it is fear based. 1808 01:34:48.079 --> 01:34:51.640 Every foreign policy decision that Joe Biden has made, and 1809 01:34:51.760 --> 01:34:54.600 probably Kamala Harris has agreed with, is a decision made 1810 01:34:54.640 --> 01:34:55.159 out of fear. 1811 01:34:55.880 --> 01:35:00.239 And those are the worst. The withdrawal from Afghanistan made 1812 01:35:00.239 --> 01:35:03.079 out of fear. Well, if we don't stop this war, 1813 01:35:03.119 --> 01:35:04.600 people are going to hold this responsible. 1814 01:35:05.239 --> 01:35:08.880 You could have stopped it without giving away billions of 1815 01:35:08.960 --> 01:35:12.680 dollars of weapons to the Taliban, and this is what 1816 01:35:12.800 --> 01:35:15.439 this is. We're afraid that this is going to start 1817 01:35:15.479 --> 01:35:19.199 a larger conflagration in the Middle East. Another interesting thing, 1818 01:35:19.239 --> 01:35:20.560 I don't have this on the blog, but I saw 1819 01:35:20.600 --> 01:35:25.640 it earlier today. One of the big cheeses in Saudi Arabia, 1820 01:35:25.680 --> 01:35:28.079 one of the princes who's in charge there, was asked 1821 01:35:28.079 --> 01:35:30.840 about the Palestinian situation, and he was like, I don't 1822 01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:35.319 really care. I don't have an opinion. I'm still recognizing Israel. 1823 01:35:35.319 --> 01:35:37.800 We're still doing business with Israel. Saudi Arabia has not 1824 01:35:38.560 --> 01:35:41.319 closed its airspace to Israeli jets. 1825 01:35:42.359 --> 01:35:46.159 Saudi Arabia doesn't care. So it's going to be really 1826 01:35:46.199 --> 01:35:48.079 interesting to watch how all of this pans out in 1827 01:35:48.119 --> 01:35:50.840 the next few days. But I saw a video the 1828 01:35:50.920 --> 01:35:51.479 other day. 1829 01:35:52.880 --> 01:35:53.319 That was. 1830 01:35:54.920 --> 01:35:57.880 Really telling. 1831 01:35:59.720 --> 01:36:04.279 From balcony of an apartment in Tel Aviv, and it 1832 01:36:04.399 --> 01:36:08.800 was just video of rockets coming into Tel Aviv being 1833 01:36:08.960 --> 01:36:11.960 taken out by the Iron Dome. Right, So you see 1834 01:36:12.239 --> 01:36:14.520 you see the rocket incoming and then you see a 1835 01:36:14.560 --> 01:36:15.479 big explosion. 1836 01:36:16.319 --> 01:36:18.239 And by the way, when there's an explosion. 1837 01:36:17.880 --> 01:36:21.479 All that shrapnel falls down out of the sky. So 1838 01:36:21.560 --> 01:36:23.560 there are places all over Israel where You'll be walking 1839 01:36:23.600 --> 01:36:26.000 through the street and they'll be like shrapnel from rockets 1840 01:36:26.399 --> 01:36:29.920 on the ground. But the most interesting thing about this 1841 01:36:30.159 --> 01:36:32.399 was the conversation that was happening in the apartment as 1842 01:36:32.439 --> 01:36:33.119 the rockets. 1843 01:36:32.880 --> 01:36:33.439 Are being fired. 1844 01:36:33.680 --> 01:36:34.880 It was like, so, what do you want to have 1845 01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:36.760 for dinner? I don't know, what do you want to 1846 01:36:36.760 --> 01:36:39.680 do for dinner? Kids are playing in the background. It 1847 01:36:39.800 --> 01:36:42.119 was like the same conversation you have with your spouse 1848 01:36:42.159 --> 01:36:44.479 when you get home from work, only there are rockets 1849 01:36:44.520 --> 01:36:48.079 being fired directly at their apartment the whole time, and 1850 01:36:48.159 --> 01:36:49.039 they're just like, well, you. 1851 01:36:49.079 --> 01:36:50.159 Know, I don't know if we want to do this? 1852 01:36:50.239 --> 01:36:52.479 Do you want to go? I mean, it's just bizarre. 1853 01:36:53.600 --> 01:36:56.479 We cannot even begin to wrap our heads around what 1854 01:36:56.640 --> 01:36:59.159 the people of Israel lived through on a daily basis. 1855 01:36:59.479 --> 01:37:05.520 So for anyone in the United States to say anything about. 1856 01:37:05.239 --> 01:37:09.560 How Israel's executing this war is just ridiculous. Because let 1857 01:37:09.600 --> 01:37:14.399 me tell you something, if Mexico started hurling rockets every 1858 01:37:14.520 --> 01:37:18.279 day for a year at Tucson, Arizona, you better believe 1859 01:37:18.760 --> 01:37:22.560 that we would respond in kind, and we would respond brutally. 1860 01:37:23.800 --> 01:37:25.680 And then when the news media showed up and said, 1861 01:37:25.960 --> 01:37:28.279 you guys killed all these Mexican people. All they were 1862 01:37:28.319 --> 01:37:30.399 doing was ineffectively firing rockets at you. 1863 01:37:30.680 --> 01:37:31.600 And you killed them all. 1864 01:37:31.720 --> 01:37:34.359 We would be very, very upset that you were trying 1865 01:37:34.399 --> 01:37:35.840 to tell us how to take care of our business. 1866 01:37:36.840 --> 01:37:38.840 And yet that's what we've done with Israel for years. 1867 01:37:39.119 --> 01:37:42.600 Luckily though, for Israel, they've decided that if everyone in 1868 01:37:42.640 --> 01:37:46.119 the world is going to hate them anyway, which apparently 1869 01:37:46.520 --> 01:37:48.880 that's what's happening. You look at college campuses, in the 1870 01:37:48.920 --> 01:37:51.399 anti semitism in the United States of America, you look 1871 01:37:51.399 --> 01:37:55.439 at the anti semitism in the United States Congress. Why 1872 01:37:55.520 --> 01:37:57.640 in the world would you give a crap what any 1873 01:37:57.680 --> 01:38:00.399 other nation was going to say about you when you 1874 01:38:00.520 --> 01:38:05.720 have the opportunity to once and for all, definitively destroy 1875 01:38:05.880 --> 01:38:09.960 the people who are trying to destroy you. If you've 1876 01:38:09.960 --> 01:38:12.119 already got a bad rap internationally, go ahead and take 1877 01:38:12.159 --> 01:38:14.079 care of business. And that, I think is what's happening, 1878 01:38:15.000 --> 01:38:17.479 and I think it's a good strategy. You know, people 1879 01:38:18.439 --> 01:38:21.000 don't understand that there are still people in Israel. 1880 01:38:21.159 --> 01:38:27.000 Who lived through the Holocaust. They still remember and they remember. 1881 01:38:26.920 --> 01:38:32.119 That no one came to save them until six million 1882 01:38:32.239 --> 01:38:37.159 people were murdered by the Nazis. No one came, and 1883 01:38:37.239 --> 01:38:38.920 they're not going to let that happen again. Whether the 1884 01:38:39.039 --> 01:38:41.479 Nazis or German, or the Nazis are Arab, they're not 1885 01:38:41.560 --> 01:38:44.800 going to let that happen again. This isn't just some 1886 01:38:45.920 --> 01:38:48.600 you know, way to flex, way to show your your muscle. 1887 01:38:48.760 --> 01:38:49.520 This is life or. 1888 01:38:49.600 --> 01:38:54.119 Death from a people that truly experience life and death 1889 01:38:54.680 --> 01:38:57.479 in World War Two, and they have not forgotten that. 1890 01:38:58.359 --> 01:39:02.439 They will never forget that. I hope, I hope these young. 1891 01:39:04.039 --> 01:39:07.279 Kids living in Israel appreciate what's going on right now, 1892 01:39:07.359 --> 01:39:10.720 even as it makes their life a living hell. Standing 1893 01:39:10.760 --> 01:39:13.439 there talking about dinner, watching the rockets fly at you. 1894 01:39:13.880 --> 01:39:17.680 I mean, I can't even imagine, Just can't even imagine. 1895 01:39:17.720 --> 01:39:19.479 All right, So that is on the blog today. 1896 01:39:19.520 --> 01:39:20.039 Don't forget. 1897 01:39:20.520 --> 01:39:22.960 If you just joined us, and you join us later 1898 01:39:23.079 --> 01:39:26.079 on in the show then others.

As 1966 01:42:15.399 --> 01:42:18.479 they do so, they extract algae, plankton, and other food 1967 01:42:18.560 --> 01:42:19.439 particles from the water. 1968 01:42:19.600 --> 01:42:19.960 There you go. 1969 01:42:20.079 --> 01:42:23.399 Now you know how oysters eat.
