Speaker 4: SAT Day.
Speaker 5: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the first hour of a three
Speaker 5: hour program.
Speaker 6: It is Tuesday. I am Mandy.
Speaker 5: That guy in the producer seat today, that's Grant Smith
Speaker 5: in for a Roddy was doing our incredibly good coverage
Speaker 5: of training camp that you can see on all of
Speaker 5: our social media platforms at KOA, Colorado. He's really posting
Speaker 5: some cool stuff, including Ross trying to Would you try
Speaker 5: to What do you want to do?
Speaker 6: You want to catch him football? You want to cat
Speaker 6: from the machine? Yeah? From the machine those The ball
Speaker 6: comes out of that machine so fast.
Speaker 5: Have you ever gone to the NFL experience before the
Speaker 5: Super Bowl?
Speaker 2: No, they have.
Speaker 6: You can do that there?
Speaker 7: Have you done it?
Speaker 4: Oh?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've done it multiple Did you catch it? I
Speaker 5: did catch the ball, but I was not successful in
Speaker 5: the speed portion where you have to go through kind
Speaker 5: of an obstacle course to get to where the pass
Speaker 5: is coming.
Speaker 6: I caught the pass once I was there, but I
Speaker 6: was a little slower than the other guy.
Speaker 7: I was just watching a receiver on the sidelines near
Speaker 7: the end of practice the other day, just catching the
Speaker 7: ball froming out of the machine.
Speaker 6: And it's not slow. No, it's got quite an arm
Speaker 6: on it. Now, I'd like to just note one other thing.
Speaker 7: Who do you think is a better mustache the Broncos
Speaker 7: new Australian punter or producer Grant?
Speaker 6: Grant's is a pretty good stash. Yeah, but it's not
Speaker 6: as bushy as the as the punter. Yeah, what do
Speaker 6: you think Grant? I thought, I'm going to give it
Speaker 6: to the new Denver punter. Wow, I like that guy.
Speaker 5: Like, if you ask the new Denver punter that question,
Speaker 5: you'd be like, that's not a mustache.
Speaker 6: This is a mustache. Nice, exactly nice.
Speaker 5: This little crock Dundee throw it back right there. Why
Speaker 5: is Ross in the studio with me? Other than the
Speaker 5: fact that we're pals, Well, funny you should ask ross Is. Also,
Speaker 5: I'm gonna put my pinky out as I have my coffee,
Speaker 5: as like.
Speaker 4: Rollis is now a fellow at the Common Sense Institute,
Speaker 4: which means they've hired him for his brain.
Speaker 6: Certainly not his looks. Is it okay to put up
Speaker 6: a pinky with coffee? I mean, I get it.
Speaker 8: I did.
Speaker 5: I couldn't do it with my coffee, I was I
Speaker 5: didn't want to spill on myself. So yeah, I pinkied out,
Speaker 5: but I was struggling to actually consume the coffee there
Speaker 5: on that one. Yeah, I'm not a pinky out person apparently. Anyway,
Speaker 5: Ross and two other experts from the Common Sense Institutrik
Speaker 5: gam and Sergio yuckez Caro did a new policy paper
Speaker 5: on Colorado health policy at a Crossroads. They say, growth,
Speaker 5: costs and Consequences. Now, we're gonna do the blog in
Speaker 5: eight minutes because Ross has to go in eight minutes.
Speaker 5: And Ross said to me via text message, this is
Speaker 5: a pretty dense topic. I'm afraid it won't be interesting.
Speaker 5: And I said, shame, shame, Ross. We can make anything interesting.
Speaker 6: Okay, Okay, let's try. Let's talk about this because it
Speaker 6: is a dense topic.
Speaker 5: But the reason this is so important is because healthcare
Speaker 5: spending consumes the largest chunk of the Colorado budget period. Like,
Speaker 5: that's why this matters. So what did you guys discover?
Speaker 5: Give me the thumbnail sketch the elevator speech, if you will.
Speaker 7: Okay, So the thumbnail is, and this probably won't surprise
Speaker 7: anybody listening to your show or mine that in the
Speaker 7: last six years or so, there have been one hundred
Speaker 7: and eighty two new bills coming out of our state
Speaker 7: legislature about healthcare, and more than a third of them
Speaker 7: expand and state healthcare services or add new regulation.
Speaker 6: Stuff like this.
Speaker 7: So, right, not surprisingly with the Democrat government, right, it
Speaker 7: just keeps growing and growing and growing.
Speaker 6: But there's a couple of big problems.
Speaker 7: So one is when they did the expansion after Obamacare,
Speaker 7: more people joined than so that's a cost to government.
Speaker 7: And then in the short term, and this is really
Speaker 7: the big thing for now, this well, let me say
Speaker 7: there's two things. The expansion of the cost of Medicare,
Speaker 7: even without the Big Beautiful Bill, is putting a big
Speaker 7: squeeze on our state budget. As you said, it's an
Speaker 7: enormous thing. And the cost of healthcare is going up
Speaker 7: and the number of people on it and are going up.
Speaker 7: And so even already before the Big Beautiful Bill, the
Speaker 7: legislators were having to go find ways to cut the
Speaker 7: state budget in order to not cut Medicaid and they
Speaker 7: may come back in the special session if there is one,
Speaker 7: and do it again, and then the Big Beautiful Bill
Speaker 7: is going to massively reduce the amount of federal dollars
Speaker 7: coming to Colorado, although not right away. Most provisions are
Speaker 7: the Big Beautiful Bill that relate to Medicaid don't even
Speaker 7: start until twenty eight and those will be the relatively
Speaker 7: smaller ones, and then the huge ones are a couple
Speaker 7: of years later.
Speaker 5: The interesting thing about this for me is that we
Speaker 5: cover far too many people in our Medicaid program. We
Speaker 5: cover illegal immigrants, we cover people who are a eble
Speaker 5: bodied and don't have children.
Speaker 6: This is well beyond the scope of.
Speaker 5: The Medicaid program, and yet we have people who seem
Speaker 5: very invested in making sure that no cuts to any
Speaker 5: of those groups occurs. This is the classic scare tactic.
Speaker 5: If you vote for that guy, he's going to take
Speaker 5: away your Medicaid benefits.
Speaker 6: But the reality is they we can't afford this.
Speaker 5: We just can't afford it, so something's got to be done.
Speaker 5: I mean, what's the bottom line here, Do you guys
Speaker 5: just point out the growth or do you make any
Speaker 5: hard suggestions?
Speaker 7: Well, a little of both, So we cover to me,
Speaker 7: this is a shocking number, but about twenty percent of
Speaker 7: the population of Colorado was on Medicare.
Speaker 5: Nineteen point two. Yeah, I read the paper, right, Okay,
Speaker 5: so that nineteen percent number was the number at the
Speaker 5: end of last year. Right now it's even a little higher.
Speaker 5: So it's around twenty or twenty point two.
Speaker 7: Now it's drifted up. We used end of twenty twenty
Speaker 7: four data in the paper.
Speaker 6: Do you know what the poverty rate here in Colorado is?
Speaker 6: I don't. In twenty twenty two is nine point three percent. Right,
Speaker 6: So this is supposed to.
Speaker 5: Be healthcare for the poor, right and people who are
Speaker 5: destitute who don't have any other options.
Speaker 7: And so by definition under Obamacare, the under the Obamacare
Speaker 7: Medicaid expansion, they said you can get into this if.
Speaker 6: You are at one hundred and thirty thirty eight percent.
Speaker 7: So they're bringing in all these people, and then, like
Speaker 7: you said, they're bringing in able bodied people of working age.
Speaker 6: Who don't have children. It's all pretty infuriating.
Speaker 7: There are actually lots of states that have a higher
Speaker 7: percentage of their population on Medicaid than we do. But
Speaker 7: per employee, we spend more than not employee, per enroll lye,
Speaker 7: we spend more than average. And in general, the states
Speaker 7: that did Medicare expansion under Obamacare are spending not just
Speaker 7: more because they added more people, but they're spending twenty
Speaker 7: three percent more per enrollee than the states that didn't
Speaker 7: do the expansion. So to answer your question, what can
Speaker 7: we do to reduce the cost of you can, well,
Speaker 7: there is oh, go ahead, no go ahead, I'll just
Speaker 7: real quick.
Speaker 6: You can reduce the number of people who qualify for Medicaid.
Speaker 7: You can reduce which kinds of medical treatments Medicaid will
Speaker 7: pay for.
Speaker 6: You can reduce the amount of money you pay the
Speaker 6: doctor for various treatments.
Speaker 7: And smarter people than I and people with political motivations
Speaker 7: as well as economic ones, are going to be making
Speaker 7: those decisions.
Speaker 5: I would love to see the federal government go to
Speaker 5: a block grant for Medicaid. I think that they should
Speaker 5: look at the last five years of spending, last ten years,
Speaker 5: whatever average it out per person, and say, here is
Speaker 5: your seventy five million dollars, seventy five billion dollars, whatever
Speaker 5: it is. That's your Medicaid money, Colorado, and that's what
Speaker 5: you get to spend if you want to see efficiencies
Speaker 5: in the system. You have to limit the federal input
Speaker 5: because right now it's just a slush fund. They tack
Speaker 5: on all these stupid hospital provider fees that I think
Speaker 5: were just killed in the big beautiful bill, or at
Speaker 5: least limited or limited, and they created this Medicaid sort
Speaker 5: of circular billing system here in Colorado. And as long
Speaker 5: as the federal government's going to keep sending checks, they
Speaker 5: have no incentive to fix the system.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think. I'm sure you've talked about it
Speaker 6: on your show.
Speaker 7: I don't think a lot of people understand just how
Speaker 7: big this grift is when it comes to the unreal
Speaker 7: these provider fees. So you know, there's one part of medicaid,
Speaker 7: the old part of Medicaid, where if the state spends
Speaker 7: a dollar, the federal government will send another thirty cents
Speaker 7: or something like that. But the newer expansion part, this
Speaker 7: whole grift. The state will spend a dollar and the
Speaker 7: federal government matches it with nine dollars. Yeah, nine dollars.
Speaker 7: And the thing is the states, including Colorado, they see
Speaker 7: that and they feel like they can kind of expand
Speaker 7: Medicaid a lot.
Speaker 6: It doesn't really cost very much.
Speaker 7: But now all of a sudden, you get the Trump administration,
Speaker 7: and if the Trump people end up saying and they
Speaker 7: haven't done this yet, but if they end up saying,
Speaker 7: we're going to give you eight dollars instead of nine, right,
Speaker 7: then you're going to be talking about just that is
Speaker 7: going to be an eleven percent cut to the money
Speaker 7: coming into Colorado. And these folks, the people who are
Speaker 7: in charge now in Colorado are people who love medicaid
Speaker 7: and always want it bigger. They are going to be
Speaker 7: and they're going to have a very hard time, and
Speaker 7: they're not gonna have a choice. They're gonna have to
Speaker 7: do some combination of what I said.
Speaker 6: And I'm here for it.
Speaker 5: So I mean, when I first started looking into Medicaid
Speaker 5: and how it was structured, I was in Florida, and
Speaker 5: the match from Medicaid from the federal government in Florida
Speaker 5: was fifty percent. Fifty percent if you look at the
Speaker 5: way Florida does Medicaid, and you have to understand, in
Speaker 5: Florida there are so many old people who rely on
Speaker 5: Medicaid for long term care.
Speaker 6: Which is extremely expensive.
Speaker 5: So a big chunk of their Medicaid budget is already
Speaker 5: allotted for that long term care needs.
Speaker 6: For people in poverty.
Speaker 5: So Florida has managed to keep their per person spending
Speaker 5: dramatically lower than ours is, even though they're shelling out
Speaker 5: for long term care situations for way more people in
Speaker 5: Florida than they are in Colorado.
Speaker 6: I mean, it's like, what is the incentive to do better?
Speaker 5: As long as the federal government is willing to backfill
Speaker 5: whatever you spend, And that's.
Speaker 6: What it's been up to this point.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, you get a sugar daddy who will
Speaker 7: let you go shop at Gucci just as well as
Speaker 7: you can go shop it at Marshalls.
Speaker 6: Go to Gucci.
Speaker 5: I still go to Marshalls and pocket the difference. I'm
Speaker 5: just saying I'm far too practical for that.
Speaker 6: All Right, boring guests Rock Kininsky, someone.
Speaker 5: Did ask will Mandy's boring guest or Ross's AI guest
Speaker 5: be better?
Speaker 6: Ross did a pretty good job.
Speaker 5: I'll have to see how he does up against the AI.
Speaker 5: I'm here on the way to see our friends at Region.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm going and just folks, if you want to

Speaker 5: off your supplements and your prescriptions, you're kind of cranky.
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, you guys. I couldn't sleep last night.
Speaker 5: I've been sleeping so well because of the Blue Sky
Speaker 5: CBD sleep jails that I've been taking. That's not a
Speaker 5: paid commercial diss just my reality. And last night girl
Speaker 5: woke up three thirty grant. I was like, I should
Speaker 5: call Grant to see what we're gonna do on the
Speaker 5: show today, because that's how I'm wide awake.
Speaker 6: I was well, actually I was away last night too. Well,
Speaker 6: dang it missed opportunity.
Speaker 5: When I was a flight attendant, we flew to Europe
Speaker 5: or like way out of our time zone. One of
Speaker 5: our secrets that we had, and if you ever traveled
Speaker 5: with a group of people, this is a great secret.
Speaker 5: Although many hotel rooms no longer have phones in them,
Speaker 5: I just realized that this is back in the day, though,
Speaker 5: and I would you would call down to the front
Speaker 5: desk and say, hey, can you turn on the message
Speaker 5: light in so and so's phone, and if they were awake,
Speaker 5: they would see it, and then they could call down
Speaker 5: and find out who else was awake, and if they weren't,
Speaker 5: I guess now you just sent a text.
Speaker 6: Well that was fun while it lasted. Gosh, that made
Speaker 6: me feel like I was. I feel like I was
Speaker 6: from olden times after telling you that story. But back
Speaker 6: when we had the wagon wheels and we were going
Speaker 6: across the planes in.
Speaker 5: The covered wagons, we had them turn on each other's lights.
Speaker 4: And now hotel rooms and then we knew we could
Speaker 4: go get a drink together.
Speaker 6: And then Martha died of consumption. I mean, you know,
Speaker 6: dysent terry took down the whole group.
Speaker 4: That was.
Speaker 5: That did make me feel really old when I realized that, like,
Speaker 5: my daughter is never going to need that service. Right,
Speaker 5: there's things that were an integral part of my life
Speaker 5: that my daughter's just never going to need that thing,
Speaker 5: not a thing, no landline, no we anyway, I did
Speaker 5: not mean to go off on a tangent. Coming up
Speaker 5: at one o'clock, we have my friend David Strom from
Speaker 5: hot air dot com on to talk about a couple
Speaker 5: of things. I saw a couple of stories yesterday and
Speaker 5: have an email and said, hey, but I need John twice.
Speaker 5: I need John on two things. So that is going
Speaker 5: to happen. Hang on one second. I am in the
Speaker 5: process number two call, and I'm gonna get to this
Speaker 5: in one second. What I'm doing there. So he's got
Speaker 5: a story on Glenn Kessler. If you're not a political junkie,
Speaker 5: if you don't read the Washington Post regularly, First of all,
Speaker 5: I haven't regularly read the Washington Post since I canceled
Speaker 5: my subscription like five years ago. It used to be
Speaker 5: every day I read the Washington Post, but it just
Speaker 5: got so tedious. The thing that bugs me the most
Speaker 5: about the Washington Post they have never apologized for anything
Speaker 5: that they have won Pulitzer Prizes for it that they
Speaker 5: then found out later was completely fabricated.
Speaker 6: They don't even have the decency to say, yeah, we're
Speaker 6: sorry about that. Eh, oh bad.
Speaker 5: But nonetheless, Glenn Kessler has been working as a fact
Speaker 5: checker at the Washington Post.
Speaker 6: For decades now. He's the guy that gives out five pinocchios. Oh,
Speaker 6: this is the four pinocchio, three pinocchio.
Speaker 5: Except yesterday or the day before, I don't remember which
Speaker 5: day he announced to you had taken a buy out
Speaker 5: from the Washington Post. We'll talk about David. Talk about
Speaker 5: this with David a little bit later on the show.
Speaker 5: And someone posted that and said, oh, Glenn, you'll be missed,
Speaker 5: and then people, because the internet is amazing on x
Speaker 5: people started posting screenshots of all the garbage fact checks
Speaker 5: he's done over the years that turned out to be
Speaker 5: the exact opposite. And he's not just a fact checker.
Speaker 5: He was snarky about it, like, oh yeah, scientists say
Speaker 5: that could have never escaped from a Lamb, except.
Speaker 10: No, I do.
Speaker 5: So much stuff that he was just like cookline and
Speaker 5: synchron and no apologies for being wrong and no shame.
Speaker 5: If your job is to fact check and you get
Speaker 5: so much stuff wrong, wouldn't you be embarrassed? Wouldn't you
Speaker 5: just come to work on Dan and go You know what, Guys,
Speaker 5: I don't think I'm very good at this. Maybe we
Speaker 5: can find them me a new role. Since I keep
Speaker 5: screwing this one. I don't feel like I'm nailing this
Speaker 5: fact check thing very well. I'm really not getting it.
Speaker 5: So Glenn Gessler's out and Jeff Bezos continues to remake
Speaker 5: The Washington Post, so it could be very interesting to
Speaker 5: see what happens at the Post. I love it if
Speaker 5: the Washington Post became read again. And before you tell
Speaker 5: me go to the Washington Times, I do, but the
Speaker 5: Washington Times is biased in the other direction.
Speaker 6: I just want the news. I want the who, what, why, when, where? Whatever?
Speaker 5: I want the facts. I don't need you to tell
Speaker 5: me what to think about it on either side. Now,
Speaker 5: the interview that I'm trying to set up right now
Speaker 5: at two thirty, which is not on the blog, but
Speaker 5: there is a story about what we're going to talk about.
Speaker 5: There is a social media account called do Better Denver,
Speaker 5: and if you don't follow do Better Denver, you follow it,
Speaker 5: don't you Grant?
Speaker 6: I think I follow it, but I know exactly what
Speaker 6: you're talking about.
Speaker 5: Do Better Denver post videos of homeless people, urban outdoorsmen, garbage,
Speaker 5: and they post it because our current administration seems to
Speaker 5: be unaware of all of these things going on. But
Speaker 5: a funny thing is happening from the Mayor's office. We
Speaker 5: know that the mayor wants to know who's behind the
Speaker 5: Do Better Denver account. It is an anonymously run account,
Speaker 5: and now the Denver Post has been doing some sneaking
Speaker 5: around and tomorrow I guess they have a story coming
Speaker 5: out where they are going.
Speaker 6: To expose three whole people who.
Speaker 5: Have sent videos to do Better Denver to post online.
Speaker 5: To be clearer, thousands of people have sent videos to
Speaker 5: Do Better Denver and they're targeting three people. So we're
Speaker 5: going to talk to Do Better Denver at some point
Speaker 5: a little bit later in the show, but first we're
Speaker 5: going to take a very quick time out, and when
Speaker 5: we get back, I just have a quick question for
Speaker 5: you because I realized something as I was making a
Speaker 5: cup of coffee before the show. Oh, by the way,
Speaker 5: the discount code for Blue Sky, Mandy, m A and
Speaker 5: d Y gets thirty percent off forever, but not on
Speaker 5: a subscription which is already discounted. Anyway, when we get back,
Speaker 5: I have an unpopular opinion, and I want to know
Speaker 5: if anybody else has the same unpopular opinion, or I
Speaker 5: want to know what yours are. We're going to do
Speaker 5: one segment of that, and then we're gonna do serious
Speaker 5: stuff after that.
Speaker 4: I promise.
Speaker 5: You know, we've all had a teacher that made a
Speaker 5: huge difference in our lives.
Speaker 6: I know I did.
Speaker 5: They believed in us, they helped me. One of my
Speaker 5: favorite teachers helped me even when I went to college.
Speaker 5: I would call her for advice and things of that nature.
Speaker 5: And now iHeart has a program called Thank a Teacher.
Speaker 5: It's powered by donors. Choose you can nominate an outstanding
Speaker 5: public school teacher who's gone above and beyond for their students.
Speaker 5: They could possibly win five thousand dollars to stock their classroom.
Speaker 6: It's easy to do it.
Speaker 5: Go to nominate your favorite teacher at iHeartRadio dot com,
Speaker 5: slash teachers and go ahead and submit that nomination and
Speaker 5: maybe your favorite teacher can get a thank you in
Speaker 5: the form of five thousand dollars for their school supplies.
Speaker 5: So that's a very nice little thing that's going on there. Okay,
Speaker 5: let's talk for a moment about Do Better Denver, because
Speaker 5: they may be coming on the show today, but we
Speaker 5: may record it.
Speaker 6: They have some trepidation.
Speaker 5: Under standably, the Denver Post is trying to out them
Speaker 5: and anyone who's associated with them. It kind of turned
Speaker 5: into like a Spartacus moment yesterday on Twitter, where me
Speaker 5: and a lot of other people were saying, I am
Speaker 5: do Better Denver. We're going to talk about a new
Speaker 5: Spartacus reboot a little bit later in the show that
Speaker 5: is so ridiculously unbelievable that I can't get behind it.
Speaker 5: But I want to talk about an unpopular opinion that
Speaker 5: I have, Grant. I want to know if you too
Speaker 5: have an unpopular opinion that you'd like to share, and
Speaker 5: you can talk to that by going to our text line,
Speaker 5: our Common Spirit Health text line at five six six'.
Speaker 1: Nine, oh.
Speaker 6: And my own popular opinion is.
Speaker 5: This we have multiple ways you can consume coffee here At,
Speaker 5: iHeartMedia and one of them is we have a cure.
Speaker 5: Rig AND i know curregs are very, divisive BUT i
Speaker 5: bring my own coffee pods from. HOME i buy them
Speaker 5: Because i'm particular about. Coffee AND i just stood next
Speaker 5: to the currig Here, grant AND i looked at the
Speaker 5: little carousel of you're a. Cups we had a little.
Speaker 5: Carousel it's. Full there's not one.

Speaker 5: unpopular opinion today because apparently everyone besides me flavored, coffee
Speaker 5: AND i don't even like like medium rose Cot NOW
Speaker 5: i want dark roast. Coffee i'm pretty, straightforward pretty. Simple
Speaker 5: give me a dark roast and just make it. Bold
Speaker 5: make it navy. Coffee you know What i'm, Saying like
Speaker 5: stick with the spoon. In it doesn't, move just cool
Speaker 5: right in the. Middle, anyway that is my unpopular opinion for.
Speaker 5: Today you can text me your unpopular opinion at five
Speaker 5: sixty six nine, oh or you can text me to
Speaker 5: tell Me i'm right about flavored, coffee BECAUSE i, clearly clearly.
Speaker 6: AM i have to.
Speaker 5: Ask the city Of denver is in the process of
Speaker 5: laying off actual human beings from their.
Speaker 6: Jobs.
Speaker 5: NOW i do think that our government is so bloated
Speaker 5: that we could stand to thin the herds a little.
Speaker 5: Bit with that being, said choices are being. Made that's
Speaker 5: kind of the point That i'm getting. To are the
Speaker 5: mayor Of, Denver Mayor Mike johnston has seen to be
Speaker 5: very okay with laying people off because he is not
Speaker 5: taking measures THAT i think would make more. Sense for,
Speaker 5: instance did you know that the city Of denver is
Speaker 5: still giving out e bike. Vouchers what is an e bike,
Speaker 5: voucher you might ask. Yourself, well, good it is a
Speaker 5: voucher that will get you a discount on an e
Speaker 5: bike that you buy at one of their participating bike.
Speaker 5: Stores so you can't go to LIKE E bikes OR
Speaker 5: us and get a cut rate e. Bike, nope you
Speaker 5: have to go to one of their participating bike. Stores
Speaker 5: so YESTERDAY i went to probably ten of their participating
Speaker 5: bike stores to see what e bikes. Cost this e
Speaker 5: byte rebake will give you four hundred and fifty dollars
Speaker 5: off an e bike at any of these. Retailers that
Speaker 5: sounds like a lot of, money, Right this is. Good
Speaker 5: we're going to get poor people e. Bikes except the
Speaker 5: rest of the e bike is going to cost you
Speaker 5: about two grand. Geez, yes, WELL i could not fight
Speaker 5: The the cheapest one THAT i found that was a full,
Speaker 5: size like grown up. Bike you can find little kid
Speaker 5: e bikes for, less but a full size grown up
Speaker 5: e bike at the stores where you can use this.
Speaker 5: Voucher the cheapest ONE i found was twenty four ninety,
Speaker 5: Nine so we are you're still paying two grands, oh, yeah.
Speaker 5: Easily so what we're doing is we're subsidizing e bike
Speaker 5: purchases for people that already have, money because you can
Speaker 5: make up to ninety eight thousand dollars a year and
Speaker 5: still get one of these. Coupons but if you're making
Speaker 5: twenty five thousand dollars a, year do you really have
Speaker 5: two grand to spend on an e bike that more
Speaker 5: than likely is not going to be your primary mode of,
Speaker 5: transportation especially in the.
Speaker 6: Winter why Is denver still doing?
Speaker 5: THIS i, mean it seems to me like they could
Speaker 5: have left this on the cutting room, floor not a
Speaker 5: single person other than the bike shops who are benefiting
Speaker 5: from this by taking a four hundred and fifty dollars.
Speaker 6: Coupon why are we still doing?
Speaker 5: This And Michael brown on a ON x earlier today
Speaker 5: pointed out another idiotic expenditure of, money and that is
Speaker 5: This denver is laying people off and at the same
Speaker 5: time they're spending three million dollars three million dollars to
Speaker 5: urge you to eat less.
Speaker 6: Meat i'm not. Kidding do you know what they're doing
Speaker 6: it under the guise of saving the?
Speaker 5: Planet, yep. Yep and one of, them by the, way
Speaker 5: is clearly clearly a campaign.
Speaker 6: Ad what DO i?
Speaker 5: Mean will the ads say things like eat less meat
Speaker 5: or eat more plant based? Meals and then here's the
Speaker 5: one that to me is clearly some kind of campaign
Speaker 5: violation because they're using tax dollars to say the, following
Speaker 5: vote for climate conscious. Leaders that is what your taxpayer
Speaker 5: dollars are paying for right. Now the tips come from
Speaker 5: a do more list That Mayor Mike johnston's administration posted
Speaker 5: as part of its three million dollar marketing campaign that
Speaker 5: aims to persuade residents to help the city reach its climate. Goals,
Speaker 5: additionally posters have been popping up around the, city including foguns.
Speaker 6: That say it's the end of the end of the.
Speaker 5: World behind the public relations splits is The office Of Climate,
Speaker 5: Actions sustainability And Resiliencies Do, more Do, Less Do something. Campaign,
Speaker 5: notably the city said eating less meat and a host
Speaker 5: of other actions would help.
Speaker 6: The planet and protect.
Speaker 5: COMMUNITIES i don't know if you're getting it from the
Speaker 5: Way i'm reading, it BUT i despise everything in that marketing,
Speaker 5: campaign AND i am absolutely annoyed that taxpayer, dollars not
Speaker 5: a single dollars.
Speaker 6: Should have been spent on any of that clap trap
Speaker 6: by the, way just in case we're.
Speaker 5: Wondering colorado's agricultural industry is the state's second largest economic.
Speaker 5: Driver it accounts for about forty seven billion in. Activity
Speaker 5: it employs more than one hundred and ninety five thousand.
Speaker 5: People but let's keep attacking At. Democrats let's it'll be so.
Speaker 5: Fun they do, more do, Less Do. Something campaign is
Speaker 5: funded By Denver's Climate Protection, fund which voters approve to
Speaker 5: raise forty million dollars each year for urgent action to
Speaker 5: mitigate the causes of climate. Change, now isn't it interesting
Speaker 5: that politicians can just take money out of things like
Speaker 5: transportation and move it to other pet projects that they.
Speaker 5: Have BUT i bet if you, said why are we
Speaker 5: still spending this money on? This why are we not
Speaker 5: putting it back in the city, coffers they would all
Speaker 5: get the vapors.
Speaker 6: And, say, oh we can't do. That it's to save the.
Speaker 5: Environment so that's something that we're also paying. For AND
Speaker 5: i hope you love it as much AS i. DO
Speaker 5: i have bad news for, You, grant BECAUSE i know

Speaker 6: Grace they're looking for a new executive, chef which is
Speaker 6: always a little.
Speaker 5: UNNERVING i had a friend who has since passed away
Speaker 5: In louisville who was a wonderful chef and he had several,
Speaker 5: properties and he would when he was hiring a new,
Speaker 5: chef he would Invite chuck AND i to come in and.
Speaker 5: Try because they make you cook for, you. Right they basically,
Speaker 5: say go in the, kitchen show me what you, got,

Speaker 5: menu come on, down and it would just like Get
Speaker 5: we were the focus. Group it was, fantastic one of

Speaker 4: Had, WELL i would Imagine Troy, guard who Owns, yeah
Speaker 4: The tag restaurant group And Garden grace and former guest
Speaker 4: of The Taking it For granted. Podcast, YES i would
Speaker 4: imagine he'll have a pretty strenuous interview process for whoever's coming.
Speaker 4: In AND i, mean to be, honest there's so many
Speaker 4: chefs there that are. WORKING i, mean you can see
Speaker 4: the kitchen while you're while you're Eating, Yeah AND i
Speaker 4: mean it's got to be basically like routine for.
Speaker 6: Them it's not like their menu as as that.
Speaker 5: Adventurously here's the thing you want in my, view, okay
Speaker 5: as a as a you, know former restaurant. Manager in my,
Speaker 5: view when you have a restaurant of the caliber Of Garden,
Speaker 5: grace you want to if you have the, opportunity you're
Speaker 5: going to bring in an executive.
Speaker 6: Chef you want someone who is going to maintain the.
Speaker 5: Integrity of your core menu, items Right like they're not
Speaker 5: going to change any of the fan.
Speaker 6: Favorites they're not going to mess with the.
Speaker 5: Steaks they're not going to do that At Garden, Grace
Speaker 5: but you do maybe that's an opportunity to maybe freshen your,
Speaker 5: menu maybe you, know lean in on different things that.
Speaker 6: You're not leaning in on.
Speaker 5: Now so it's it's important to get the right. Fit
Speaker 5: and you also don't want to bring in like A
Speaker 5: Gordon ramsey when you don't have A Gordon ramsey vibe
Speaker 5: in your, kitchen you, know and you're you gotta have
Speaker 5: the Right it's it's almost, LIKE i this is gonna
Speaker 5: sound so stupid to some, people BUT i promise you
Speaker 5: that in a well run, restaurant it is a, symphony,
Speaker 5: Right it's a symphony of, people especially in the, kitchen
Speaker 5: and if you get somebody who messes up the, music
Speaker 5: it is, very very. Disruptive SO i hope that they
Speaker 5: find a new chef and if anybody would like to
Speaker 5: executive former executive Chef brent Turnip.
Speaker 6: Seed but the coolest name.
Speaker 4: Ever did they starting his own restaurant or?
Speaker 6: Something, no it WAS i saw, this, wait hang on

Speaker 5: one but two articles on hot air dot com THAT
Speaker 5: i was, like, DUDE i got.
Speaker 6: To talk to you about this.
Speaker 5: ONE i don't think we are over stating it when

Speaker 5: States we gave up nothing and got everything in. Return
Speaker 5: and we're gonna talk about. That And Glenn, kessler he
Speaker 5: who used to give out the pinocchios At Washington, post
Speaker 5: is gone at the end of this. Month i'm not
Speaker 5: sad about it at, all and it's been kind of
Speaker 5: funny to see people react on The internet by posting
Speaker 5: his garbage fat checks before and he also wrote a
Speaker 5: column on The Sydney sweeney.
Speaker 6: Kerfuffle AND i.
Speaker 5: Really don't care about, this AND i think the only
Speaker 5: reason that it's a story is guys just want to
Speaker 5: have an excuse to keep watching the.
Speaker 4: COMMERCIAL i don't understand it, either So i'd love. IT
Speaker 4: i can't wait to hear his. TAKE i REALLY i don't.

Speaker 5: all of our social media platforms AT, Koa Colorado Grant
Speaker 5: smith in for a Rod. Now YESTERDAY i was perusing
Speaker 5: hot air dot, com AS i am prone to do on,
Speaker 5: occasion AND i saw a couple of stories by my
Speaker 5: Friend David, strom and he mailed him immediately and, said not,
Speaker 5: one but two THINGS i must speak with you.
Speaker 6: About, So David, strong welcome back to the. Show first of, all.
Speaker 8: It's always my pleasure he did.
Speaker 5: Say anything for you WHEN i, said you want to
Speaker 5: come on the show tomorrow and talk about.
Speaker 6: It so here you.
Speaker 4: Are let's.
Speaker 8: Start i'm going to regret that NO i will ask you.
Speaker 5: What you're going to do for a klondake, bar THOUGH
Speaker 5: i mean that's really what everybody wants to. Know let's
Speaker 5: start with a tariff story, first BECAUSE i, think and
Speaker 5: please correct me If i'm, wrong you AND i have
Speaker 5: shared a viewpoint On trump's use of tariffs that perhaps
Speaker 5: the endgame was not the tariff, itself but the tariff
Speaker 5: was a tool to, push, shove cajole whatever you want
Speaker 5: word you want to use people that were cutting trade
Speaker 5: deals with to achieve other.
Speaker 6: Goals is that a fair assessment of your view thus?
Speaker 9: Far, ABSOLUTELY i think the evidence is very clear that
Speaker 9: that that is what he has. Done When trump's start
Speaker 9: talking about tariffs months and months. AGO i thought it
Speaker 9: was an open question because he talked about, terriffs big beautiful,
Speaker 9: tariffs as if they were good in. Themselves AND i
Speaker 9: wrote several pieces Saying trump's terift strategy can either be
Speaker 9: pure genius or a recipe for, disaster depending upon what
Speaker 9: he was trying to. Do AND i was at about
Speaker 9: sixty five thirty five thinking this was, negotiation not that
Speaker 9: he thought teriffs were good in. Themselves AND i think
Speaker 9: that has turned out to be ninety percent correct with one,
Speaker 9: edition which Is trump had a goal to create what's
Speaker 9: essentially a cover charge for foreign countries to get in the.
Speaker 9: Door you, know, basically you pay fifteen bucks and you
Speaker 9: have a two drink.
Speaker 5: Minimum you say cover, CHARGE i say cost of, admission,
Speaker 5: RIGHT i mean it's the price to. Ride you want
Speaker 5: access to our, Markets here's what it's going to cost.
Speaker 9: You.
Speaker 8: Yeah, NO i think that's exactly.
Speaker 9: Right and it's based Upon trump's really genius recognition that
Speaker 9: there is no alternative for companies to be successful if
Speaker 9: they cannot get into The United. States there's just no
Speaker 9: other economy out there that has this much consumer. Power
Speaker 9: and it's based the reason why a lot of people
Speaker 9: don't understand this is they look at The United states and, say,
Speaker 9: well they're the largest, economy but they're still only twenty
Speaker 9: to twenty five percent of the. World but that actually
Speaker 9: hides an important, fact which is we're about seventy five
Speaker 9: percent of the consumer economy in the, world which is
Speaker 9: a totally different. THING i, mean there's h we have
Speaker 9: a lot more disposable rights.
Speaker 5: And that that that there's the Rub, YEAH i would
Speaker 5: some of the most interesting commentary That i've seen on
Speaker 5: this is the commentary about the fact that this is
Speaker 5: an upending of the world order Since World War. Two
Speaker 5: because After World War, two we were the lone industrial,
Speaker 5: power we were THE, uh we were, everything we were a,
Speaker 5: superpower and The Cold war was going, on so we
Speaker 5: had to have this aggressive footing that we. Had but
Speaker 5: since The Cold war is, over, ESSENTIALLY i, mean we
Speaker 5: still have conflagrations around the, world but as as.
Speaker 6: The Cold world was, over we were still in the same,
Speaker 6: position especially when it came To. Europe and this is
Speaker 6: some of the commentary scene on the deal that they
Speaker 6: made with THE.
Speaker 5: Eu europe has always been a benefactor of The United
Speaker 5: states in terms of our military. PROWESS, Uh they've had
Speaker 5: pretty unfettered access to our markets up to this, point
Speaker 5: and in return we sort of accepted or or were
Speaker 5: given that unchecked superpower status by. Them it's, like, oh
Speaker 5: it's The United. States we're going to get access to their,
Speaker 5: markets but they're going to take care of us. Militarily
Speaker 5: trump is the first guy to come along and say,
Speaker 5: no that's not good, enough where that that dynamic needs to.
Speaker 5: End and he's one hundred percent right about. That WHAT
Speaker 5: i find, Fascinating, david is that there are still commentators
Speaker 5: out there who don't understand.
Speaker 6: How trump views. Things, Right he's viewing things like you
Speaker 6: need me more THAN i need. You let's do a
Speaker 6: deal that reflects. That and that's what we saw in
Speaker 6: THIS eu.
Speaker 9: Deal oh that's one hundred percent. RIGHT i MEAN us
Speaker 9: trade policy for The Postcold war. Era it was essentially
Speaker 9: the same AS us trade policy during The Cold. War
Speaker 9: and we had that policy in The Cold war basically
Speaker 9: because we, wanted you, Know europe basically to bend to our.
Speaker 9: Will so what the deal, was you're going to get economic.
Speaker 9: Benefits you, know you're not going to have to spend
Speaker 9: money on defense as you as you might otherwise have,
Speaker 9: to and you're, going you, know from The Marshall plan
Speaker 9: to favorable trade and all of. That but that means
Speaker 9: that when foreign policy comes, along you guys are going
Speaker 9: to do what we.
Speaker 8: Say that was the, deal.
Speaker 9: And you, know during The Cold war it made a
Speaker 9: lot of sense to do, that but in a lot
Speaker 9: of ways over the past fifteen twenty years things have totally.
Speaker 9: Inverted we still have this position where we've been given
Speaker 9: Europe an incredible deal and they've been trying to bully
Speaker 9: us net, zero all the censorship, stuff the Regulating american,
Speaker 9: companies they're looking down their noses and trying to bully.
Speaker 9: Us they're interfering in our. Politics actually far more Than russia.
Speaker 9: DOES i mean THE uk, actually you, know The Labor
Speaker 9: party sent campaign workers for Domal.
Speaker 8: Ayrs you, know compare that to anything.
Speaker 9: You, Know putin was supposed to have. Done it's far.
Speaker 9: Worse you, know THE eu tried to Keep trump off
Speaker 9: Of twitter OR. X i mean they literally Threatened Elon
Speaker 9: musk with billions of dollars of fines for Allowing Donald
Speaker 9: trump to speak ON. X so you, know we really
Speaker 9: got to rebalance, things and you, Know trump basically kicked
Speaker 9: them in the shins and you, know about two feet.
Speaker 5: HIGHER i was going to, SAY i was going to,
Speaker 5: say you kicked them a bit, higher but then you
Speaker 5: added that on. THERE i do want to correct. Myself
Speaker 5: one of our texters pointed, OUT i said beneficient benefactor
Speaker 5: instead of. Beneficiary europe has been our beneficiary for all
Speaker 5: of these.
Speaker 6: Years it's been really.
Speaker 5: Interesting to Watch trump, negotiate not just the trade, deals
Speaker 5: but also the way he has approached dealing With, putin you,
Speaker 5: know with the just the wild flattery leading up to,
Speaker 5: negotiations but then Once putin demonstrated clearly he doesn't really
Speaker 5: give a ratspetutity What trump.
Speaker 6: Thought now the rhetoric has.
Speaker 5: Changed so do you think that because we are now
Speaker 5: two days away from the sort of, big beautiful, tariffs
Speaker 5: the blanket tariffs to go into effect on all of
Speaker 5: the nations that have not.
Speaker 6: Cut trade deals WITH.
Speaker 5: Us we were told we're gonna get two hundred trade,
Speaker 5: deals how many of these smaller players begin to fall
Speaker 5: now that THE, Eu japan and somewhat Of china has been. Announced, well.
Speaker 8: You put me on the, spot because you know the short.
Speaker 9: ANSWERS i don't, know BUT i think that most of
Speaker 9: The doma knows are going to.
Speaker 8: FALL i, mean the THE.
Speaker 9: EU i mean you have to remember they started, out
Speaker 9: as Said, china with you, know basically Flipping trump the,
Speaker 9: bird thinking, that, uh you, know he was going to back.
Speaker 9: Off remember the whole taco. Thing trump always chickens out
Speaker 9: that The democrats were, pushing uh and, uh you, know
Speaker 9: clearly The europeans figured, out, no he's not going to chicken.
Speaker 8: Out, uh you, know he's he's going to squeeze us.
Speaker 9: By you, know he's got to buy the short hairs and,
Speaker 9: uh you, Know trump understands that now With. Putin H
Speaker 9: a lot of people don't understand the reason why he
Speaker 9: always Flattered putin is not because he Loved, putin but, because,
Speaker 9: uh he saw That putin is driven often by this
Speaker 9: sense of. Insecurity H russia has been for actually, centuries
Speaker 9: has always seen itself as in To. Europe you, know
Speaker 9: if you, Look russian food is just Modified french food
Speaker 9: because they, wanted you, Know france was the big.
Speaker 8: Player you, know in the eighteenth.
Speaker 9: Century they always wanted to be A Western european country
Speaker 9: and they always knew that they. Weren't and that same
Speaker 9: thing is true. Today so he's trying To he tried
Speaker 9: to Flatter. Putin NOW i think he wants to crush.
Speaker 6: Him, yeah, OH i, AGREE i.
Speaker 5: AGREE i mean he did the exact same thing in
Speaker 5: his first term With Kim young un Of North. Korea
Speaker 5: remember that whole flirtation With Kim young. Un and then
Speaker 5: when he Realized Kim young un is crazy and cannot
Speaker 5: be reasoned, with he just moved. ON i don't think
Speaker 5: you said the guy's name in the last eight. YEARS i,
Speaker 5: MEAN i just he just ceased to, exist so because
Speaker 5: he's not important enough to need any. Time so you,
Speaker 5: know the tariffs so far have not been have not
Speaker 5: caused a direct rise in prices of any real.
Speaker 6: Significance we have not seen that.
Speaker 5: Yet it remains to be seen what kind of impact
Speaker 5: on prices this is going to have in the long.
Speaker 6: Term BUT i do think coming off the heels of.
Speaker 5: Inflation this is gonna sound so, crazy but coming off
Speaker 5: the heels of that massive jump in prices that we
Speaker 5: just went through in the last few, YEARS i think
Speaker 5: companies are going to be far less likely to pass
Speaker 5: those costs on to the consumer because they know the
Speaker 5: consumers have hit their breaking.
Speaker 6: Point on a lot of.
Speaker 5: Stuff so it's going to be very interesting to see
Speaker 5: how this all plays. Out AND i do think it
Speaker 5: is a fair statement to say that thus far on
Speaker 5: Tariff's trump is.
Speaker 9: Winning, yeah oh, Absolutely and even economists are saying. That
Speaker 9: there are a bunch of economists who have come out and, said,
Speaker 9: WELL i think we were wrong on, This and you,
Speaker 9: know some of that has to do with the fact
Speaker 9: that they Misunderstood trump's, strategy and a lot of it
Speaker 9: has to do with the fact that.
Speaker 8: If you look at this is always the case in economics.
Speaker 9: Or any social, science or any science for that, matter
Speaker 9: you break things down into little chunks and you look
Speaker 9: at them in. Isolation you create, models and the only
Speaker 9: way that you can do that is to disambiguate by
Speaker 9: throwing out all other. Variables, so you, know it's like
Speaker 9: when you're doing ballistics when you first learn, it you
Speaker 9: leave out wind, resistance you leave out all, sorts you,
Speaker 9: know all sorts of, variables just so that you, understand in,
Speaker 9: principle here's how things. Work you, know in, principle you
Speaker 9: drop a feather in a bowling ball and they'll fall
Speaker 9: at the same. Rate only in the real world they
Speaker 9: don't because of all the other. Variables same thing with the.
Speaker 9: Terriffs there are just so many variables in there that
Speaker 9: economists just you can't model the real world in the same.
Speaker 5: Way economists kind of suck at human behavior when you
Speaker 5: get right down to an economists do a bad job
Speaker 5: mitigating for human, behavior which is in.
Speaker 6: A lot of areas kind of.
Speaker 5: Predictable you, know we're all moved in a very similar.
Speaker 5: Way we could do that conversation another, time BUT i
Speaker 5: want to talk about something different BEFORE i run out of.
Speaker 5: Time talking With David strom from hot are dot. Com,
Speaker 5: yesterday he had an Article Glen kessler of The Washington,
Speaker 5: post he of the Fact checker, page giving out the.
Speaker 5: Pinocchios we won't Have Glen kessler's fact checks to kick
Speaker 5: around anymore because he's out at The Washington. Post he
Speaker 5: has taken a buyout By Jeff bezos And. DAVID i
Speaker 5: don't know if you saw ON x, yesterday whenever anyone
Speaker 5: would comment about, this people would start lighting up the
Speaker 5: replies with all of the absurd fact checks That Glenn
Speaker 5: kessler has done over the recent years that turned out
Speaker 5: to be completely, wrong, right just totally. Wrong it's been
Speaker 5: a wild. Time what do you think is happening over
Speaker 5: at The Washington post right? Now where do do this
Speaker 5: thing end?
Speaker 9: Up, well they're Clearly Jeff bezos is clearly really tired.
Speaker 8: Of all the drama over.
Speaker 9: There if you, look you know it's not Just Jack Glenn,
Speaker 9: kessler It's Taylor lorenz's, Gone Jennifer.
Speaker 8: Ruben Philip.
Speaker 9: BUMP i, mean you can go down the list and
Speaker 9: all the most irritating people are being kicked, out and,
Speaker 9: they you, know not, once but several. Times there have
Speaker 9: been memos that have gone. Out they haven't named, names
Speaker 9: although you don't know what conversations took place behind closed,
Speaker 9: doors but they were all basically of the you, know
Speaker 9: get on board or get out.
Speaker 8: VARIETY i love, that by the.
Speaker 6: WAY i love.
Speaker 5: That it's almost like there's a new sheriff in, town
Speaker 5: and if you want to play, ball then we'll play.
Speaker 5: Ball but if you, don't don't let the door hit
Speaker 5: you where the Good lord split you kind of.
Speaker 6: Thing you, know like bye.
Speaker 3: Bye.
Speaker 6: YEAH i would love to know.
Speaker 5: If the fact check industry as it really exists right
Speaker 5: now hopelessly left. Wing every major fact check out At
Speaker 5: PolitiFact left. Wing we've got these guys left Wing we've Got,
Speaker 5: snopes which is just whack of do left wing, like
Speaker 5: don't even bring me A snopes fact check. Anymore are
Speaker 5: we seeing the end of the fact check industry because
Speaker 5: they were so demonstrably, wrong especially DURING, Covid.
Speaker 9: Yes and, NO i mean they. CERTAINLY i think that
Speaker 9: the fact check industry is. Dying it will survive to
Speaker 9: some small extent because there's a market for, it in
Speaker 9: the way that there's a market FOR.
Speaker 8: Msnbc.
Speaker 9: Uh you, know it's it's not dead dead, dead but
Speaker 9: it's going to be really a niche. Thing AND i
Speaker 9: you know it's going to be you, know The Los
Speaker 9: Angeles times probably won't have anyone doing, It The Washington
Speaker 9: post won't have anyone doing.
Speaker 8: It you'll still have the nonprofits like LID a Fact.
Speaker 6: See that are out.
Speaker 5: THERE i don't even know if they're going to survive
Speaker 5: BECAUSE i THINK ai is going to kill fact.
Speaker 6: Checking and here's.
Speaker 5: Why because right NOW i can go to groc, OR
Speaker 5: i can go to CHAT, gbt my best, friends by the,
Speaker 5: way we're, pals we hang out all the, time.
Speaker 6: AND i can say To, grock give me this side
Speaker 6: of this.
Speaker 5: Issue give me the left version of medicaid, expansion AND
Speaker 5: grok can pull up all kinds of data and give
Speaker 5: me a very clear picture of the left view of that.
Speaker 5: Issue and THEN i can, say give me the right
Speaker 5: version of, this AND grok can do the same. Thing
Speaker 5: SO i can essentially fact check. MYSELF i don't need
Speaker 5: to have someone else interpret the. DATA i can look
Speaker 5: up WHAT i want to look. UP ai can split
Speaker 5: out the, information and THEN i can figure out my own.
Speaker 5: Mind AND i think it's more people realize that THAN
Speaker 5: i think that a human fact checker with the notion
Speaker 5: of bias and all of that other, stuff AND i
Speaker 5: REALIZE ai has bias as, Well but the perception that
Speaker 5: a human being is probably more likely to inject their
Speaker 5: bias in still exists even THOUGH ai is not.
Speaker 9: Perfect you're, rational, Though oh there is a midway class out,
Speaker 9: there the people WHO i call them the one point
Speaker 9: FIFTEEN iq. Set you, know they are above average and
Speaker 9: intelligence but think they're way smarter than they actually.
Speaker 8: Are, yeah and they love, Credentials they love.
Speaker 9: Authority they love being able to SAY i read it
Speaker 9: in The New York times or The, atlantic and.
Speaker 8: You know it massages their.
Speaker 9: Ego they don't actually want to know what the reality
Speaker 9: is they want someone to confirm their prejudices, right and
Speaker 9: so oh you, know they're the people who love and
Speaker 9: pr because it tells them they're good, people because they
Speaker 9: Hate Donald.
Speaker 8: Trump AND i like. YOU i like the for.
Speaker 6: THAT i like the midwit.
Speaker 5: Class i'm gonna use that the midwit class gonna have
Speaker 5: to remember That david from well above the midwit class

Speaker 5: you have to watch that commercial before you could write
Speaker 5: your article On Sidney sweeney?
Speaker 6: Yesterday, david we should talk.
Speaker 9: About this Because i've got an article coming up tomorrow about.
Speaker 9: It because there's there is actually a new. Angle there
Speaker 9: there's now a woke right version of. This really it's The.
Speaker 8: Jews oh of.
Speaker 6: Course, yeah it's always The. Jews, okay, Yeah, NO i.
Speaker 5: Just have a firm policy THAT i have A bs
Speaker 5: limit for stories on the, show and that one did
Speaker 5: not cross the threshold of THE bs.
Speaker 6: Limit so it's. Out David, strom a joy to talk,
Speaker 6: to is always my.
Speaker 8: Friend all, right thanks a, lot, bandy all, right.
Speaker 6: We'll talk to you.
Speaker 5: Soon That davidstrom fromhatter dot. Com LET cnn make one
Speaker 5: more comment about the, tariffs you. Know and by the,
Speaker 5: way this video is on the blog, TODAY i really
Speaker 5: urge you to go watch, it just to watch.
Speaker 6: The faces of the people ON.
Speaker 5: Cnn you would think they were reporting on a plane
Speaker 5: crash the way their little faces look so disappointed in this.
Speaker 6: Exchange is it?
Speaker 10: All the bottom line is this is the biggest trade
Speaker 10: deal In President trump's effort to effectively reshape the global
Speaker 10: trading order that has been one of his central priorities
Speaker 10: since taking office In. January he's been issuing many threats of,
Speaker 10: tariffs but they clearly have been working in terms of
Speaker 10: bringing other, countries allies and adversaries alike in some cases
Speaker 10: to the negotiating. Table and the latest example was today
Speaker 10: here In scotland when the leader of The European, commission
Speaker 10: who of course is negotiating afore The European, union she
Speaker 10: agreed to a fifteen percent across the board. Tariff, now
Speaker 10: that is significantly higher than the ten percent of tariff's
Speaker 10: in existence now, since but it's much lower than the
Speaker 10: thirty percent threat that was coming On friday and the
Speaker 10: fifty percent threat that was made In. May so clearly
Speaker 10: there has been an instance where The president has been
Speaker 10: using his threats of higher tariffs as a negotiating.
Speaker 2: Tact this, case it certainly.
Speaker 8: Worked.
Speaker 6: Huh LET'S cnn.
Speaker 5: Fascinating fascinating, that by the, way is on the blog.
Speaker 5: Today that's ALL i had to say about. That if
Speaker 5: you've LOST, cnn you've lost the. Narrative by the, way
Speaker 5: you knew who else came out and SAID i was
Speaker 5: wrong About trump on.
Speaker 6: Tariffs Bill, Maher Bill, maher who never.
Speaker 5: Has anything good to say About. TRUMP a lot of
Speaker 5: people are eating crow on. This i'm not ready to
Speaker 5: say that the tariffs have worked exactly As trump said
Speaker 5: they were going to. Work i'm not willing to say
Speaker 5: that yet because anything that impacts us. Economically you have
Speaker 5: to kind of wait a little bit to see what
Speaker 5: happens in the long. Term but just the fact that
Speaker 5: so many of our major trading partners have come to
Speaker 5: the table and have freed up a lot of stuff
Speaker 5: giving us access to their markets in a way that
Speaker 5: we haven't had. BEFORE i already that right there is
Speaker 5: A Secs so we've got that going for.
Speaker 6: Us, Hey, grant have you ever heard that you need
Speaker 6: to walk ten thousand steps a? Day have you heard?
Speaker 5: This everybody's heard. It by the, way that's a trick,
Speaker 5: question of course you. Have do you know where that
Speaker 5: ten thousand steps a day number came?
Speaker 4: From no.
Speaker 6: IDEA i found out the details.
Speaker 5: TODAY i knew it was from A japanese marketing campaign
Speaker 5: for a. Pedometer so they had a new pedometer thing
Speaker 5: that counts you, steps and The japanese were trying to
Speaker 5: come up with a way to get people buy, it
Speaker 5: and they chose ten thousand. Steps for one, reason it
Speaker 5: wasn't based on any health. Guidance In japanese, characters the
Speaker 5: number ten thousand.
Speaker 4: Looks like a person. Walking, oh so it's all just
Speaker 4: a marketing marketing. Scheme But i'll have to inform my.
Speaker 5: Grandma, well just before you tell grandma too, Much i've
Speaker 5: got better news. Now actual science on how many steps
Speaker 5: you really need to take in a day is. Out
Speaker 5: so we have a real science, now and good news
Speaker 5: for those of you that thought ten thousand was too
Speaker 5: high a bar to. Reach seven thousand steps is the
Speaker 5: is the number the sweet spot if you. Will, now
Speaker 5: walking at all on a daily basis is like a miracle.
Speaker 5: Drug according to a new, study people who took at
Speaker 5: least seven thousand steps a day almost had their risk
Speaker 5: of all cause, mortality that, is their chance of dying
Speaker 5: of any cause within a certain period of. Time even
Speaker 5: walking four thousand steps a day showed marked reductions in
Speaker 5: the risk of cardiovascular, disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, depression and.
Speaker 5: Falls though the benefits did continue with higher daily step,
Speaker 5: counts the size of improvements slowed down after seven thousand,
Speaker 5: steps meaning this could be a more achievable target for
Speaker 5: people instead of ten thousand, steps and in all, honesty
Speaker 5: after seven thousand steps the differences were so minimal that
Speaker 5: it's almost, like, eg you don't need those three, thousand
Speaker 5: so really just stop as. Them, yeah seven is all you.
Speaker 5: Need seven is the magic. Number after that the but
Speaker 5: listen to. This at seven thousand, steps the results were.
Speaker 5: Dramatic all couse mortality went down by forty seven, percent
Speaker 5: the risk of dementia fell thirty eight, percent falls by
Speaker 5: twenty eight, percent and cardiovascular disease by twenty five. Percent
Speaker 5: there were also reductions of the risk of, depression type, two,
Speaker 5: diabetes and. Cancer walking is a miracle, drug you. Guys
Speaker 5: exercise is the miracle drug that we've all been waiting.
Speaker 2: For it really.
Speaker 5: IS i have a story on the blog today About
Speaker 5: alzheimer's disease and a pretty significant study about making, big,
Speaker 5: big big lifestyle changes and the impact that it has
Speaker 5: On alzheimer's.
Speaker 6: DISEASE i, mean this is a very, very very big.
Speaker 5: Deal so they took people who had been recently diagnosed
Speaker 5: With alzheimer's disease and they put them on a, plan
Speaker 5: a workout, plan and a nutrition. Plan, now studying nutrition
Speaker 5: is notoriously difficult because generally, speaking people want to eat
Speaker 5: what they want to, eat and they lie and they
Speaker 5: cheat on these long longitudinal, studies, right they just. Lie
Speaker 5: but when you tell someone With, alzheimer's we think making
Speaker 5: lifestyle choices can actually slow down Your alzheimer's or even
Speaker 5: reverse some of the.
Speaker 6: Damage people tend to adhere to it a little bit.
Speaker 6: Closer so.
Speaker 5: After twenty weeks they were talking about one of the
Speaker 5: specific people that was in the. Study after twenty weeks
Speaker 5: in a randomized clinical trial designed to drastically change, diet,
Speaker 5: exercise stress, level and social interactions made as cognition made
Speaker 5: at being a woman, improved she was able to read
Speaker 5: and recall novels and correctly balanced.
Speaker 6: Spreadsheets.
Speaker 5: AGAIN a blood test even found levels of, amyloid a
Speaker 5: hallmark Of alzheimer's.
Speaker 6: Disease were retreating in. Her so not only does it stave.
Speaker 5: Off alzheimer's, disease it can actually in some cases reverse. It,
Speaker 5: NOW i will say, this this did not work for.
Speaker 5: Everyone it worked for a little less than. Half but
Speaker 5: this is one of those things Where i'm trying to
Speaker 5: think of the best way to say this without being really.
Speaker 5: Insulting some people get a, disease especially a disease like this,
Speaker 5: one and they're going to sit down and die very very,
Speaker 5: slowly maybe, quickly but they're going to sit down and
Speaker 5: die because they've been given this disease and that's all
Speaker 5: there is to, it and they're just not going to
Speaker 5: do a whole lot about, it, Right and then there
Speaker 5: are people who are, Like i'm not going out like.
Speaker 6: This i'm going to do everything in my.
Speaker 5: POWER i have a very good friend who eventually did
Speaker 5: pass of a very aggressive form of. Cancer but when
Speaker 5: the doctor's here SAID i we're tapped. Out there's nothing
Speaker 5: else we can. Do he flew To mexico for a
Speaker 5: whole series wack of dooodal treatments that actually gave him
Speaker 5: like another eighteen months of life because he just was,
Speaker 5: Like i'm gonna fight it with Everything i've. Got so
Speaker 5: if you're a fight it with everything you've, got, person
Speaker 5: it's time to pay attention to Doctor Dean. Ornish he
Speaker 5: is big on plant based diets to reverse cardiovascular. Disease
Speaker 5: and this he's the guy that actually presented this. Study
Speaker 5: forty six percent showed, improvement thirty seven point five.
Speaker 6: Percent showed no decline in.
Speaker 5: Cognition then over eighty three percent of patients improved or
Speaker 5: maintained their cognition during a five month. Program Now i'm
Speaker 5: guessing that each of these people is probably doing the
Speaker 5: exact same things that they were doing. Before, Right if
Speaker 5: you know that it's, working then, yeah you're gonna keep doing.
Speaker 6: It what's in the lifestyle?
Speaker 5: Intervention he calls it eat, well move, more stress, less
Speaker 5: and love. More this is the second time Or niche
Speaker 5: has done. It the first time a randomized clinical trial
Speaker 5: that coronary artery disease could be reversed with nothing more than, diet,
Speaker 5: exercise stress, reduction and social. SUPPORT i, mean nobody wants
Speaker 5: to eat a vegan diet on, purpose, RIGHT i, Mean
Speaker 5: i'm just going to be. Honest although it has gotten
Speaker 5: a lot easier to get a, vegan to be a,
Speaker 5: vegan the vegan food is so much better than it
Speaker 5: was WHEN i was a. Kid WHEN i was a,
Speaker 5: kid we would have to go to the weird health
Speaker 5: food store every once in a. While it always smelled
Speaker 5: that in. There isn't there a weird health food store In?
Speaker 6: Athens the? Pharmacy oh, yes, yeah but it also smells.
Speaker 4: Weird it's so, weird and everybody in there just looked
Speaker 4: sick and pasty delicious honey in there, Though oh, really we.
Speaker 6: Can Get my neighbor has bees, now And i'm not gonna.
Speaker 5: Lie it's ALTHOUGH i will say the honey That roskaminsky
Speaker 5: gave me might be some of the finest HONEY i
Speaker 5: have ever had in my.
Speaker 6: Life And i'm something of a honey.
Speaker 4: Snob, well you, Know i've Asked ross for his honey multiple,
Speaker 4: times and you, know to make the.

Speaker 5: Cut you should probably, Compliment i'm on how much fun
Speaker 5: you had during this Show, Again.
Speaker 6: I'll be right.
Speaker 5: Back there's got to be a lot of, Jobs like
Speaker 5: if you're a, Nurse i'm figuring you got to hit
Speaker 5: those kind of. Steps IF i had that kind of,
Speaker 5: JOB i would absolutely wear a fitness. TRACKER i wear

Speaker 5: ninety five.
Speaker 6: Hundred and WHEN i.
Speaker 5: First got my fitness, tracker he used to aggravate me
Speaker 5: THAT i wouldn't get into ten, thousands So i'd go

Speaker 5: Steps that's WHAT i do in the. Morning, yeah, wow
Speaker 5: that's just that that is about five for. Me it's

Speaker 5: SINCE i went on that. Walk that's what iationary job
Speaker 5: and a desk will do for, you you, know. Totally,
Speaker 5: Hey Denver Public, schools, well you know, What The Denver
Speaker 5: gazette did not necessarily say the word, lied But i'm
Speaker 5: going to say the word lied because you may, Remember
Speaker 5: Denver Public schools filed a federal lawsuit against THE Us
Speaker 5: department Of Homeland security In. February district leaders claimed one
Speaker 5: of the consequences of The trump administration's immigration enforcement stuff
Speaker 5: was that students were not showing up to. School so
Speaker 5: The Denver gazette pulled some records and looked at when
Speaker 5: students were missing school and when they, weren't and sworn
Speaker 5: affidavits submitted with a. Complaint Superintendent Alex morrero and other
Speaker 5: school officials blamed changes to the administration's sensitive locations policy
Speaker 5: for a noticeable dip in. Attendance they said it was
Speaker 5: widespread fear of getting swept up in the raids among
Speaker 5: immigrants unlawfully staying in The United. States marrero said in
Speaker 5: court filings not only were people followed fearful following the,
Speaker 5: raids but they also did not have any guarantee that
Speaker 5: the next raid would not be at the. School Except
Speaker 5: The Denver gazette pulled those attendance records and what they
Speaker 5: saw was On january twenty, first the day after the
Speaker 5: inauguration and THE US ice policy rollback, announcement attendance dropped
Speaker 5: significantly across district front, schools regardless of a Campus's hispanic.
Speaker 6: Composition what else happened that?
Speaker 5: Day it was the day after The Martin Luther King
Speaker 5: junior holiday, weekend so people just didn't come back from
Speaker 5: their you, know tripent. Time, similarly The Denver gazette continues
Speaker 5: to report two days before the widely reported ice rate
Speaker 5: at the seat of run apartments in other, locations attendance
Speaker 5: On february third showed another district wide. Decline but you
Speaker 5: know what happened on that, Day that would be The
Speaker 5: day Without Immigrants. DAY i actually forgot that was a
Speaker 5: thing because my life was not impacted at all that.
Speaker 6: DAY i didn't suffer any sort of slow.
Speaker 5: Down nothing, happened but a lot of kids didn't show
Speaker 5: up for. School the only other day where there's a
Speaker 5: major disconnect where a lot of kids didn't go to,
Speaker 5: school there was a major Snowstorm february twenty, first and
Speaker 5: attendance plunged on that. Day other than, that attendance has
Speaker 5: been kind of.
Speaker 6: Normal so, YEAH i don't, know, UH i, MEAN i
Speaker 6: the word lie is. STRONG i get. IT i get.
Speaker 5: It it's a Strong but what is it when you
Speaker 5: say something was caused by something when clearly it. Wasn't
Speaker 5: and if people are afraid of you, KNOW ice, enforcement
Speaker 5: then they would have stopped going to school, altogether don't you.
Speaker 6: Think instead of those just those just those. Days in
Speaker 6: the days and weeks.
Speaker 5: Before the, raid schools with a Higher hispanic enrollment tended
Speaker 5: to see lower than usual, attendance particularly On february, third
Speaker 5: which coincided with The day Without, immigrants.
Speaker 6: And they have lower attendance.
Speaker 5: Overall the ten Most Hispanic latino, schools generally, speaking have lower.
Speaker 5: ATTENDANCE i, mean it mirrors what happens in other. Schools it's,
Speaker 5: not you, know dramatically that far. Off but whereas another
Speaker 5: school might be at eighty eight. PERCENT A hispanic high
Speaker 5: school maybe eighty. Percent, Right so much ado about. Nothing
Speaker 5: by the, way they lost the. Lawsuit i'm sure you're
Speaker 5: broken up about. That i'm sure when we get back
Speaker 5: in the next. HOUR i talked about this a little
Speaker 5: bit at the beginning of the, show and since THEN
Speaker 5: i have spoken With Do Better denver And i'm going
Speaker 5: to show her a little bit about what's going on
Speaker 5: with The Denver post is apparently getting ready to publish

Speaker 4: THIS i don't have, TikTok SO i don't, either BUT
Speaker 4: i know he's been all Over instagram AND X, Okay.
Speaker 5: Instagram AND x is WHERE i see it AND i
Speaker 5: always repost. It so he's out there doing. That But
Speaker 5: grant's gonna keep it here with us for the next. Hour,
Speaker 5: now there's a little bit of drama going on right
Speaker 5: now about a social media, account and NORMALLY I i'm
Speaker 5: gonna be honest with.
Speaker 6: YOU i don't care what happens in social media.
Speaker 5: WORLD i DON'T i don't care how many followers you,
Speaker 5: have how many followers you lost ON x BECAUSE i don't.
Speaker 5: CARE i don't make money from social. Media THEREFORE i
Speaker 5: don't care about social media in most. Cases, however on
Speaker 5: occasion there is an account that is worth talking, about
Speaker 5: and one of those accounts is Do Better. Denver Do
Speaker 5: Better denver was started a couple of years, ago AND
Speaker 5: i became aware of it pretty early. ON i was
Speaker 5: an early advocate Of Do Better denver because the account
Speaker 5: does a few, things but mostly it posts videos of
Speaker 5: the things in The denver metro that are happening That
Speaker 5: Mayor johnson's administration is trying to gaslight this. About this
Speaker 5: is why when he talks about declaring victory on, homelessness
Speaker 5: and he hasn't fully declared, victory but he'll tell you
Speaker 5: things are so much better than they were, before but
Speaker 5: they're really. Not and people who are concerned about you,
Speaker 5: know labs in their neighborhoods.
Speaker 6: And people who are being accosted.
Speaker 5: By urban outdoorsmen when they're walking to work in the,
Speaker 5: morning they contribute a lot of these.
Speaker 6: Videos no one.
Speaker 5: Person could possibly just drive Around nver all day and you,
Speaker 5: know videotape these, things and sometimes they're really hard to.
Speaker 5: Watch they are people in the throes of addiction and mental.
Speaker 6: Illness they are. Suffering they're staggering.
Speaker 5: Around like, Zombies they've had people having sex in the
Speaker 5: middle of the street On Do Better. Denver they do,
Speaker 5: blur by the, way but the point is not to
Speaker 5: humiliate these. People the point is not to you, know
Speaker 5: cause them personally any. Strife the point is to push
Speaker 5: back on the narrative that everything is about, them which
Speaker 5: is what you hear from The mayor's. Office and this
Speaker 5: has become a problem for the mayor's. Office Now Do
Speaker 5: Better denver has done a couple of things, lately and
Speaker 5: one of them was to do A corer request to
Speaker 5: find out if there were emails between The mayor's office
Speaker 5: and The Denver Police department asking them to unmask the
Speaker 5: person Behind Do Better. Denver, now that has not been
Speaker 5: proven beyond a shadow of a, doubt but there is
Speaker 5: circumstantial evidence that certainly makes it seem like there's some
Speaker 5: kind of there. There and, now After Denver police said,
Speaker 5: no we're not going to do that freedom speech and
Speaker 5: all that Crazy First amendment, stuff apparently the mayor's office
Speaker 5: seems to have made a call to The Denver post
Speaker 5: because there's a reporter at The Denver post who has
Speaker 5: been working very diligently doing background on three people that
Speaker 5: have submitted items to Do Better denver or filed a corner,
Speaker 5: Request and now The Denver post is going to do
Speaker 5: an expose on these three people whose only crime is
Speaker 5: contributing to Do Better.
Speaker 6: Denver that's the, problem that's the only.
Speaker 5: Crime and the reality is that they are going to
Speaker 5: out three people In denver in such a way that
Speaker 5: it is probably going to cause them a great deal of.
Speaker 5: Strife one of them has already come out and said
Speaker 5: they called my. Boss they called my boss at my
Speaker 5: job to confirm THAT i work there and ask about my.
Speaker 5: Salary what is? That, now in the grand scheme of,
Speaker 5: things the only reason that The Denver post would have
Speaker 5: any interest in outing the people that Do Better denver
Speaker 5: is to scare people into not contributing to Do Better.
Speaker 5: Denver if you want to silence things like, this threaten
Speaker 5: to expose the people who are just trying to get
Speaker 5: their neighborhood cleaned. Up, because let me tell you what
Speaker 5: happens when stuff appears on Do Better, denver a complete
Speaker 5: coincidence action gets. Taken so now citizens who have called
Speaker 5: three to one one seven thousand, times who have called
Speaker 5: nine to one one only to be told there's nothing
Speaker 5: they can. Do they're now contributing To Do Better denver
Speaker 5: to actually get action on the things that are happening
Speaker 5: in their neighborhoods and on their, Streets so of course
Speaker 5: it has to be shut. Down WHAT i don't understand
Speaker 5: is why The Denver post wouldn't investigate some of the
Speaker 5: things that are exposed On Do Better denver instead of
Speaker 5: trying to expose the person Behind Do Better. Denver, NOW
Speaker 5: i BECAUSE i was an early, ADOPTER i have been
Speaker 5: in contact with The Do Better denver, account never in.
Speaker 5: Person i've never met the person behind The Do Better denver,
Speaker 5: account to be, Clear BUT i reached out today and,
Speaker 5: said you, know do.
Speaker 6: You want to do something on?
Speaker 5: This and we talked about doing an, interview but they
Speaker 5: have a lot of concern that someone would recognize their
Speaker 5: voice and things along those, lines and so uh THEY i, said,
Speaker 5: hey CAN i submit a statement? Instead AND i said,
Speaker 5: absolutely we can one hundred percent make that. Happen SO
Speaker 5: i am sharing with you the statement that was sent
Speaker 5: to me today By Do Better denver to The Denver
Speaker 5: post article that is supposed to come out tomorrow the
Speaker 5: NEXT i don't know the exact. Timeline we'll see when
Speaker 5: it does come. Out the statement, SAYS i Am Do
Speaker 5: Better denver and my mission is to champion, transparency, accountability
Speaker 5: and positive change In denver by amplifying the voices of
Speaker 5: concerned citizens and exposing issues that affect our. Community founded
Speaker 5: In july of twenty twenty three At Do Better denver
Speaker 5: as a platform For denver residents to share their, experiences,
Speaker 5: evidence and concerns about critical issues including government, accountability public, safety,
Speaker 5: crime and public drug. Use my goal is to raise,
Speaker 5: awareness share compelling stories through videos and first hand, accounts
Speaker 5: and advocate for solutions that Restore denver to the we
Speaker 5: all once. Loved Do Better denver was born from a
Speaker 5: growing unease among residents about the direction of our city
Speaker 5: and the lack of open dialogue on pressing. Challenges supported
Speaker 5: by thousands of, Contributors Do Better denver is a collective
Speaker 5: driven by a shared commitment to truth and. Transparency every,
Speaker 5: day citizens submit, videos photos and information to spotlight issues like, crime,
Speaker 5: homelessness and government. Failures we share these responsibly to foster constructive,
Speaker 5: conversation not to target individuals or incite. HARM i am
Speaker 5: alarmed That Shelley, bradbury a reporter with The Denver post
Speaker 5: plans to publish a story naming at least three private
Speaker 5: citizens As Do Better denver contributors based on their submissions
Speaker 5: and information. Requests naming them risks jeopardizing their personal, safety,
Speaker 5: livelihoods and, privacy a move that contradicts journalistic ethics and
Speaker 5: the principles of free. Expression instead of investigating the systemic
Speaker 5: ISSUES i, raised such as government transparency or public, safety
Speaker 5: The Denver post appears to be Doing Mayor johnston's, bidding
Speaker 5: prioritizing the silencing of dissenting voices over the pursuit of.
Speaker 5: Truth this underman undermines journalism's role in holding the powerful
Speaker 5: accountable and threatens the well being of innocent. RESIDENCE i
Speaker 5: urge The Denver post In Shelley bradbury to reconsider this
Speaker 5: approach and focus on investigating the substantive issues our community is.
Speaker 5: RAISED i also call On denver residents and supporters to
Speaker 5: stand with us in defending free speech and protecting those
Speaker 5: who contribute to my.
Speaker 6: Mission, Sincerely Do Better denver your, Move Denver post.
Speaker 5: Want to share this onen This texter Said, mandy we
Speaker 5: should Dox shelley and that IS i absolutely understand that
Speaker 5: feeling because that's essentially what they're going to do to
Speaker 5: three people whose quote crime is contributing to the Do
Speaker 5: Better denver social media. Account, Right but, no, no doxing is,
Speaker 5: wrong even when it's done to someone you disagree.
Speaker 6: With that's kind of the point.
Speaker 5: Here AND i gotta tell you, GUYS i in the
Speaker 5: environment that we're in right, now it simply is not
Speaker 5: worth it to put someone's information out there in the
Speaker 5: hopes that something bad, Happens because.
Speaker 6: What if something bad does?
Speaker 5: Happen so what you've gotten someone that you disagree with
Speaker 5: killed because of something they.
Speaker 6: Did that's beyond the.
Speaker 5: Pale and, FRANKLY i wrote back this texture, said why
Speaker 5: what happened to fighting fire with? FIRE i am firmly
Speaker 5: in the we're better than that, camp you. KNOW i
Speaker 5: don't know if it's A southern, thing but sometimes and
Speaker 5: my grandmother would say this to me all the. Time
Speaker 5: you'd see kids kind of act in the, fool, right
Speaker 5: or doing something THAT i wanted to do BUT i
Speaker 5: didn't get to do because my nana was, like, no
Speaker 5: you're not doing.
Speaker 6: That and my nana would always.
Speaker 5: Just look at me and, say, well we're better than,
Speaker 5: that not we're better than the. People we're better than those, actions,
Speaker 5: Right AND i believe. THAT i try so hard to
Speaker 5: be consistent with my belief, system AND i understand the.
Speaker 5: URGE i get it at one hundred, percent BUT i
Speaker 5: don't want anyone. Doxed that does not solve the. Problem
Speaker 5: the texter, RESPONDED i just think she docks is the
Speaker 5: do better. Folks she deserves the same. TREATMENT i understand.
Speaker 5: That and you know, what if we all operate from
Speaker 5: a revenge, platform, fine But i'm just not Gonna i'm
Speaker 5: not going to. Participate i'm not going to suggest. It
Speaker 5: and maybe it goes back to the fact that WHEN
Speaker 5: i was eight and a half months, PREGNANT i pulled
Speaker 5: into my driveway and a guy pulled in behind me
Speaker 5: with a scary serial killer. VAN i am so pregnant
Speaker 5: it's not even. Funny he hops out of his van,
Speaker 5: Says oh my, Gosh, Mandy i've been looking all over for.
Speaker 5: YOU i, mean it was it's nothing bad. Happened he was,
Speaker 5: harmless but we did have THE swat team meet him
Speaker 5: on the way out of my neighborhood just in. Case,
Speaker 5: anyway head of THE swat team might have been a
Speaker 5: really good friend of, ours but it's terrifying to feel
Speaker 5: that at your. House AND i am one who BELIEVES
Speaker 5: i don't think we should protest outside politicians'. HOUSES i
Speaker 5: don't think we should protest Outside Supreme court justice. HOUSES
Speaker 5: i don't think any of that is. Acceptable we should
Speaker 5: be allowed to have some kind of. Boundaries and if
Speaker 5: The Denver post is willing to violate the boundaries of
Speaker 5: these three, People i'm not going to jump on and
Speaker 5: do the same thing As i'm sitting here giving them
Speaker 5: the business because.
Speaker 6: They're about to do.
Speaker 5: IT i understand the, URGE i really, do but that
Speaker 5: is not WHAT i want to have happened. Here WHAT
Speaker 5: i want to have happen is for them to rethink
Speaker 5: their decision to out three people whose crime and again
Speaker 5: air quotes around that is contributing to a website that
Speaker 5: is trying to shine a light on what needs to
Speaker 5: be In.
Speaker 6: Denver so there's more on. That we shall. See we shall.
Speaker 6: See we'll look for.
Speaker 5: The story in the next couple of. Days This texter,
Speaker 5: said my mother always, said remember who you.
Speaker 6: ARE i like that one.
Speaker 5: Too mandy isn't do Better denver in a, way a
Speaker 5: whistleblower kind of Organization that is a really good.
Speaker 6: Way to look at, IT a really good way to look.
Speaker 1: At, It.
Speaker 5: Mandy the problem With We're better is that mindset is
Speaker 5: it doesn't work both. WAYS i don't, care And i'll
Speaker 5: say this to my, kid AND i say it to.
Speaker 5: MYSELF i can't control anybody else's. BEHAVIOR i can't control
Speaker 5: a single. THING i can't Control chuck's. BEHAVIOR i can't
Speaker 5: control my daughter's. Behavior ALL i can do is control
Speaker 5: my own behavior and make sure that ANYTHING i touch
Speaker 5: the people That i'm, around THAT i am making their
Speaker 5: world and their lives better instead of making it. Worse
Speaker 5: so whatever they, DO i can't control. THAT i, mean you,
Speaker 5: know they're on their own and and you know, what
Speaker 5: if they docks these people and they lose their jobs
Speaker 5: or something horrible, happens then they can sit with.
Speaker 6: That maybe they don't. CARE i don't.
Speaker 5: Know, hey wouldn't it be, funny this is totally shifting.
Speaker 5: Gears wouldn't it be funny if we found out that
Speaker 5: all of the people that are trying to get us
Speaker 5: to net zero and all renewables in order to basically
Speaker 5: cripple our economy are being manipulated by The chinese communists wouldn't.
Speaker 6: It, yeah that's kind of what's. Happening i've got that.
Speaker 5: NEXT i refuse to engage on The Sydney sweeney as
Speaker 5: a Fascist nazi because she did A genes commercial thing
Speaker 5: and has a great. RACK i am now watching a.
Speaker 5: Video i'm not listening to it BECAUSE i you, KNOW
Speaker 5: i don't want MY iq to. Drop An African american
Speaker 5: woman who said Watching Sydney sweeney's commercial it broke her
Speaker 5: down in tears and she needs good white people to
Speaker 5: stand up and do something about. THIS i don't understand.
Speaker 5: It it's it's almost almost the dumbest Thing i've ever.
Speaker 4: Heard does she have like a history of being A trump? Supporter,
Speaker 4: okay her mom.
Speaker 5: Had she had a birthday party for her mom where
Speaker 5: they had hats Made. Grant they were red hats that
Speaker 5: they said make old great. Again get, it maga make.
Speaker 5: Old and that was all it took for The internet
Speaker 5: to decide That Sidney sweeney was an out.
Speaker 6: Set that's that's.
Speaker 5: It IF i Were Sidney, SWEENEY i would be, LIKE
Speaker 5: i don't, know we're not talking about. This we're going
Speaker 5: to talk about something more. Important this is an actual
Speaker 5: story that. Matters great commercials, though, yeah thank, you, yeah.
Speaker 5: Lovely they're nothing compared to The Brookshields Calvin klan commercials
Speaker 5: from back in the, day were she literally put on
Speaker 5: a pair.
Speaker 6: Of pants fantastic in the.
Speaker 5: Commercial, okay, okay let me just go over this really really.
Speaker 5: QUICKLY a couple of things are happening right Now. China
Speaker 5: china is developing more than four hundred and fifty coal
Speaker 5: mining sites Across, china four hundred and fifty nearly forty
Speaker 5: percent are under construction or in test.
Speaker 6: Operation and right, now coal miners from around the.
Speaker 5: World we don't have to worry about here in The
Speaker 5: United states because we've shut down all of our coal.
Speaker 5: Miners we've put people out of business over and over
Speaker 5: and over. Again But australia And indonesia are freaking out
Speaker 5: because If china digs coal at the rate that they
Speaker 5: look like they're about to dig, coal it.
Speaker 6: Is going to tank the price of.
Speaker 5: Coal, now WHEN i saw, THIS i immediately thought about
Speaker 5: the fact That, CHINA i think is well known and
Speaker 5: if you don't know, this well prepared to be, dazzled
Speaker 5: Because china has been funding the green movement for a
Speaker 5: very long. TIME i went to groc today BECAUSE i
Speaker 5: already knew. This i've read this a million. Times AND
Speaker 5: i went To groc AND i, Said, grog, uh just
Speaker 5: trying to fund our green energy organizations with. Sources and
Speaker 5: this is What groc had to. Say AND i clicked
Speaker 5: through the sources just to see where he grabbed. Him
Speaker 5: and this is indeed what those sources. Said, yes there
Speaker 5: are multiple, reports congressional, inquiries and analyzes indicating That, china
Speaker 5: through entities closely tied to The Chinese Communist, party provides
Speaker 5: funding to A us based green energy and climate advocacy.
Speaker 5: Organizations these finds are often channel via The Energy Foundation CHINA,
Speaker 5: efc A us registered five oh ONE c three nonprofit
Speaker 5: that spun off from the ORIGINAL Us Energy foundation in twenty.
Speaker 5: Nineteen while technically headquartered In San, FRANCISCO efc operates primarily
Speaker 5: out Of, beijing with deep connections to THE ccp officials
Speaker 5: and oversight By China's National Development Reform. Commission critics argue
Speaker 5: this funding Advances china's strategic interest by promoting policies that
Speaker 5: UNDERMINE us fossil fuel production while boosting reliance On chinese
Speaker 5: dominated renewable supply chains.
Speaker 8: Such as solar.
Speaker 6: Panels and.
Speaker 5: BATTERIES efc has reportedly granted over five hundred million to
Speaker 5: four thousand projects, globally INCLUDING us initiatives focused on energy,
Speaker 5: conservation efficiency and. Decarbonization although EESC's primary focus is On,
Speaker 5: china it provides grants to SOME us organizations working in these.
Speaker 5: Areas now you know, WHY i know That china does
Speaker 5: not care about the environment and carbon and fossil fuels
Speaker 5: in any of that, Stuff Because china's construction of new
Speaker 5: coal fired power plants reached a ten year high in
Speaker 5: twenty twenty. Four they have built ninety four point five
Speaker 5: five gigawatts of new coal power capacity and resumed three
Speaker 5: point three gigawatts of suspended projects in twenty twenty, four
Speaker 5: highest level of construction in ten.
Speaker 6: Years the accelerated build, out fueled by.
Speaker 5: Investment from the coal mining, sector raises critical concerns About
Speaker 5: china's ability to transition away from the fossil Fuel, really
Speaker 5: do you think it?
Speaker 6: Does do you think the fact that they've got four.
Speaker 5: Hundred and fifty coal mines in the works right now
Speaker 5: and they built more coal fired power plants in the
Speaker 5: last year than they have in the prior Ten do
Speaker 5: you think maybe those things together would indicate That china
Speaker 5: not only has no intention of lowering as carbon, emissions
Speaker 5: they are ramping them. Up and yet at the same,
Speaker 5: time they're very cleverly funding organizations that are telling every
Speaker 5: one of The United states that if we don't do
Speaker 5: something about carbon, emissions we're all gonna. Die you got
Speaker 5: Little gretethumburg running around the. World, wow dah YOU i
Speaker 5: Dare Grete thunberg go say that In?
Speaker 6: China that would be something to. Watch that'd be.
Speaker 5: COOL i, MEAN i wonder how old she'd be when
Speaker 5: she got out of. Prison this is such a great.
Speaker 5: STRATEGY i, mean this is the best Strategy i've heard
Speaker 5: in so. Long convince us that the most, abundant most
Speaker 5: efficient source of energy that we, have fossil, fuels is,
Speaker 5: bad so we will then further cripple our own industrial.
Speaker 5: Capacity when you look at What germany has. Done germany
Speaker 5: went all in on renewable energy about twenty years, ago
Speaker 5: and they have THAT i can't remember the name of.
Speaker 5: It it's Like gundervind or. Something it's Some german name
Speaker 5: for wind. Power and they went all. In and now
Speaker 5: these brief years, later two things have happened In germany
Speaker 5: that are incredibly. Significant energy prices are in absolutely. Nuts
Speaker 5: in the, winter it can be one thousand dollars to
Speaker 5: heat a five hundred square foot. Apartment one thousand dollars
Speaker 5: for that imagine in a house the size that we
Speaker 5: have here in The United. States And germany has absolutely
Speaker 5: gutted its industrial sector because no industry can operate without
Speaker 5: cheap and abundant. Power And germany just took it off the.
Speaker 5: Table and by the, way are they still net? Zero,
Speaker 5: no they're buying natural gas From, russia of all. Places
Speaker 5: this is a genius stroke by the COMMUNIST i mean,
Speaker 5: genius get us to destroy our own ability to create
Speaker 5: energy at the exact moment THAT ai is. ASCENDANT ai
Speaker 5: is incredibly energy. INTENSIVE i read an. ARTICLE i don't
Speaker 5: THINK i put it on the. Blog MAYBE i, Did
Speaker 5: MAYBE i. Didn't that the largest power grid in the,
Speaker 5: country it's A midwestern power. Grid it Covers, Illinois, Ohio
Speaker 5: it's Got West virginia and, there it's got all these
Speaker 5: states that are part of THE pgm power. Grid it's
Speaker 5: so big and they have so much energy production that
Speaker 5: usually they have a surplus of energy that they can
Speaker 5: then sell to other. Grids this year, alone they've had
Speaker 5: ten different days where they had to issue a warning
Speaker 5: to their customers that they were using at peak.
Speaker 6: Capacity you know WHY.
Speaker 5: Ai so now this power grid is telling artificial intelligence,
Speaker 5: companies if you're going to build AN ai, farm WHICH
Speaker 5: i guess is just thousands and thousands of servers doing
Speaker 5: all THIS ai, work you're going to have to provide
Speaker 5: your own power. Source so this got me to looking
Speaker 5: at different things around the. COUNTRY i looked and found
Speaker 5: one small nuclear reactor In, california which is. Fascinating it's
Speaker 5: actually a hydrogen. Plant it separates hydrogen from water and
Speaker 5: then it uses the hydrogen to burn for. Energy, right really,
Speaker 5: amazing and it uses a small nuclear reactor to power
Speaker 5: all this.
Speaker 6: Stuff it's. FASCINATING i reached out to the company to
Speaker 6: do an interview and they just. Declined.
Speaker 5: Today they were, like we appreciate your, interest but, No
Speaker 5: and that was, literally, wait let me just all read
Speaker 5: you the.
Speaker 6: Email the name of the company is called News.
Speaker 8: Scale where is?
Speaker 6: It where is? It where is?
Speaker 3: It?
Speaker 6: Oh dang. IT i might have deleted it out of.
Speaker 5: Aggravation but we're in a situation in The United states
Speaker 5: we're allowing our energy policy to be made by people
Speaker 5: that do not have our best interest at, heart not at,
Speaker 5: all not even a little.
Speaker 6: Bit so let me. See, oh here we.
Speaker 5: Go the name of the company Is New scale and it, says, Hello,
Speaker 5: mandy thank you for your interest in new scale. Power
Speaker 5: we appreciate your, request but politely declined the. Opportunity why
Speaker 5: why don't they want to talk about this.
Speaker 6: Stuff we have to.
Speaker 5: Figure out how to expose the people are being funded
Speaker 5: By chinese. Communists we have to figure out a way
Speaker 5: to expose the fact That china is not serious at
Speaker 5: all about carbon emissions.
Speaker 3: At.
Speaker 5: All they're not even pretending to be serious about carbon.
Speaker 5: Emissions what they're doing is sort of forcing us to
Speaker 5: decap our own ability to create.
Speaker 6: Power you, know.
Speaker 5: When you live In, florida on your, home it is
Speaker 5: a very smart move to have a generator because you
Speaker 5: have so many. Instances most of the power lines In
Speaker 5: florida are above. Ground and you think to, yourself that's.
Speaker 5: Stupid you guys get hit by. Hurricanes but the reality
Speaker 5: is is that in many parts Of, florida when you
Speaker 5: dig like you're gonna dig to bury, something there's so
Speaker 5: much water in the ground that you have to deal
Speaker 5: with a completely separate set of issues about buried power.
Speaker 5: Lines it can be, done but it's really expensive and
Speaker 5: really a. Pain so many of the power lines are
Speaker 5: above above, ground and you get hit with tropical storms
Speaker 5: and all kinds of events and you lose power so.
Speaker 5: REGULARITY i, mean not every, Day i'm not talking about,
Speaker 5: that but it's always nice to have a whole home
Speaker 5: generator on your.
Speaker 6: Home for those. Occasions i'm here to tell.
Speaker 5: You that if we keep going down this renewable energy
Speaker 5: path that we are, headed you better have a generator
Speaker 5: on your home because there's going to be rolling. Brownouts
Speaker 5: there's going to be blackouts because our energy demand is
Speaker 5: only getting. Bigger we're not reducing the need for. Energy
Speaker 5: everything in our lives runs on. Electricity how that electricity
Speaker 5: is generated is the only point of. Contention nobody's, saying
Speaker 5: you know, what we should not be using our lights
Speaker 5: at home at. Night we, should but they will tell
Speaker 5: you to run your air conditioner at eighty five when
Speaker 5: it's one hundred and two degrees. Outside by the, Way,
Speaker 5: no that's my. Answer, No i'm not doing. It And
Speaker 5: china has got to be just laughing their heads off
Speaker 5: at us about how easily we are. Manipulated just put
Speaker 5: out of video with some polar bears.
Speaker 6: And tell people they're.
Speaker 5: Dying they'll demands windmills or something that's inefficient and.
Speaker 6: Unreliable it's REALLY i, mean it's a great. Racket you.
Speaker 5: Know one of the things THAT i don't understand about
Speaker 5: our strategy when it comes To russia is why we
Speaker 5: don't just go and Pull american oil, producers pull them
Speaker 5: all in a room, together all the big, players and, say, look,
Speaker 5: GUYS i know that if we ask you to just
Speaker 5: drill your heads off and create as much oil as
Speaker 5: you could possibly get out of the, ground that it's
Speaker 5: going to tank oil prices because it'll be a glut
Speaker 5: on the. Market but we need you to do it
Speaker 5: anyway as a matter of national, security because if you
Speaker 5: can tank oil, prices you know what happens To russia's
Speaker 5: ability to Fight it completely.
Speaker 6: Disappears if you tank oil.
Speaker 5: Prices do you know what happens to A ron's ability
Speaker 5: to send missiles To, israel To iraq to anywhere.
Speaker 6: Else it's completely.
Speaker 5: Gone they have no other means in their economy of
Speaker 5: any significance other than oil. Production and if The United
Speaker 5: states simply. Decided you know, what, guys we've got to
Speaker 5: take one for the. Team whatever we need to. Do
Speaker 5: we're gonna subsidize oil. Companies we're gonna bottom out the.
Speaker 5: Market we're gonna subsidize the companies to keep them going
Speaker 5: until the market can come back. Up but we are
Speaker 5: going to starve all the bad actors that produce oil
Speaker 5: and bring them to their knees, economically because that will
Speaker 5: bring them to their knees.
Speaker 6: Militarily i've got to feel the same way About.
Speaker 5: China we're letting them make our policy when it comes
Speaker 5: to energy when we should be doing the exact. Opposite
Speaker 5: you want to make sure That china can't dominate, industry
Speaker 5: that we need to figure out ways to produce power
Speaker 5: at a high level that is consistent and. Inexpensive oh,
Speaker 5: wait we have natural. Gas what about small nuclear. Reactors
Speaker 5: we need to be getting on this stuff now instead
Speaker 5: of just running a talking about how windmills and solar.
Speaker 5: Panels by the, way solar panels which cannot be built
Speaker 5: unless we get rare earth minerals From, china and they're
Speaker 5: not all that, rare by the, way rare earth, minerals
Speaker 5: they're only rare because they're really hard to get out
Speaker 5: of the. Ground and in The United, states where we
Speaker 5: have an absolute crap ton of these, minerals the environmentalists
Speaker 5: will not let us mine. Them So, china where, ENVIRONMENTALISTS
Speaker 5: i guess they don't get a lot of. Play they're
Speaker 5: probably all dead or in. Prison they can't stop anything
Speaker 5: In china because it's The chinese communists and they do
Speaker 5: whatever they. WANT i, mean it's really a strategy that's.
Speaker 5: Masterful unfortunately it's someone else's strategy against. Us But i'm
Speaker 5: sure it'll be, fine totally positive that it will be.
Speaker 5: Fine nothing to, see look, away just keep on. Moving
Speaker 5: couple great videos on the blog today Before ryan comes.
