00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 5>Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, and welcome to a Friday edition of

8
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 5>the show Altogether. Now that air hit cup wait that

9
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:48.000
<v Speaker 5>first air warn is how I feel today. I feel

10
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:49.719
<v Speaker 5>like I've been hit by truck a rod and I

11
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:50.759
<v Speaker 5>got back last night.

12
00:00:51.640 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 6>Yes, that is how I feel.

13
00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 5>That's how I felt like starting in the Monday and

14
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:57.759
<v Speaker 5>then down. We got back last night at like ten thirty.

15
00:00:58.799 --> 00:01:03.079
<v Speaker 5>Watch the speech last night on the aeroplane and we

16
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 5>have those to talk about. But I think both of

17
00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 5>us are feeling rather exhausted. I mean, I'm I'm way

18
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 5>older than you, Aerod, and I'm gonna tell you I

19
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 5>feel like I've been I've run a marathon in the

20
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 5>last four days.

21
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:16.439
<v Speaker 6>It's been nuts.

22
00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 7>I felt pretty good this morning, and then ironically after

23
00:01:19.640 --> 00:01:21.519
<v Speaker 7>I drink a Red Bull to get even a little

24
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 7>bit more feeling good.

25
00:01:23.319 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 8>Got it the other way. I'm not more tired. It

26
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:26.480
<v Speaker 8>makes no sense.

27
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 5>No it's a sugar crash. That's what you did to yourself.

28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.200
<v Speaker 5>You're sugar sugar free. Oh yeah, that's true. I guess

29
00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:34.239
<v Speaker 5>you're right about that energy. I don't know what's just

30
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 5>can of chemicals that sugar free Red bull. Anyway, So

31
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:41.079
<v Speaker 5>today's the day that we can dish the dirt on

32
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 5>the Democratic National convention because I.

33
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 6>Am no longer at their party.

34
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:47.879
<v Speaker 5>As I said all week, I was at their party

35
00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:49.640
<v Speaker 5>and did not want to pee in the punch bowl.

36
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:53.640
<v Speaker 5>So today let the peeing commence. Anyway, let's do the

37
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 5>blog because I got a lot of stuff on the

38
00:01:55.239 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 5>blog that we need to talk about. And then next

39
00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 5>week we'll get back to hopefully, I mean, actually, let me.

40
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:01.599
<v Speaker 6>Just say this.

41
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 5>What I was about to say was next week we'll

42
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 5>get back to kind of a better mix of politics

43
00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 5>and other stuff. Right, we have a little bit of

44
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:12.000
<v Speaker 5>other stuff today on the show, but I can't say

45
00:02:12.039 --> 00:02:15.879
<v Speaker 5>that because we are in the most insane election cycle

46
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 5>that I have ever experienced in my lifetime, and anything

47
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:22.919
<v Speaker 5>could happen, right, I mean, anything could happen.

48
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 6>That's how I.

49
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 5>Feel now, because right now we live in a world

50
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 5>where the Democratic Party just had a convention where they

51
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.439
<v Speaker 5>just were like, Hey, you know what, we love everything

52
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:37.159
<v Speaker 5>Republicans love. We love it all even though everything in

53
00:02:37.240 --> 00:02:39.560
<v Speaker 5>their policy says otherwise. We're gonna get into this a

54
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 5>little bit. Let's go to the blog. You can find

85
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.800
<v Speaker 5>feel free, you ask thro VR text line five six

86
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 5>six nine zero. You just shoot that over to the

87
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 5>Common Spirit Health text line. And I am going to

88
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.120
<v Speaker 5>answer these questions so because I've already got them coming in,

89
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:41.399
<v Speaker 5>because we were we were observers a rod. That was

90
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:45.959
<v Speaker 5>what I viewed my role as observing, allowing the Democrats

91
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 5>to make their case. And I have to give a

92
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 5>lot of credit to the Democratic Party whoever planned the

93
00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 5>DNC because it was equal parts anti Trump and equal

94
00:04:57.800 --> 00:04:59.600
<v Speaker 5>parts fluff, and.

95
00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:02.399
<v Speaker 6>They had musicians playing.

96
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 5>I believe that they leaked a rumor last night that

97
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.839
<v Speaker 5>Taylor Swift or Beyonce were going to appear so young

98
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 5>people would watch the convention. I honestly believe that, because

99
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.519
<v Speaker 5>that's what I would do if I wanted young people

100
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:16.759
<v Speaker 5>to watch the convention. I'm saying, you know what, you

101
00:05:16.800 --> 00:05:18.800
<v Speaker 5>know who's going to be there. Taylor Swift is going

102
00:05:18.839 --> 00:05:21.879
<v Speaker 5>to perform tonight or Beyonce is going to perform tonight.

103
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.240
<v Speaker 5>And it didn't happen, but they probably got more young

104
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 5>eyeballs because of it. And last night Kamala Harris gave

105
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:32.319
<v Speaker 5>a speech in which she appeared to be incredibly likable.

106
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 5>For some reason, she told her story again, even after

107
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.240
<v Speaker 5>it's been told like fifty times during the convention, she

108
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:43.439
<v Speaker 5>told it again. But she was engaging, she was likable,

109
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 5>and she delivered that speech incredibly well. So when I

110
00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:51.240
<v Speaker 5>say Kamala Harris knocked it out of the park, I

111
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.040
<v Speaker 5>am talking about she knocked it out of the park

112
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.439
<v Speaker 5>to the people that are the low information voters. I

113
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 5>think Rischlimbah really nailed it when he coined the term

114
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.959
<v Speaker 5>low information voters. There are people that watched last night

115
00:06:07.040 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 5>for five minutes and we're like, Nope, she's my girl.

116
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.360
<v Speaker 6>Listen to her. She's so positive that joy I can't

117
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.120
<v Speaker 6>the vibe is so good, and they're going to vote

118
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:15.800
<v Speaker 6>for her based on that.

119
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 9>Now.

120
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.959
<v Speaker 5>I say that because realistically, you guys, the Republican Party

121
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:26.680
<v Speaker 5>has five weeks from today to rewrite the story of

122
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:30.319
<v Speaker 5>Kamala Harris. They have five weeks from right now, because

123
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:35.480
<v Speaker 5>in five weeks, ballots start dropping across the country, and

124
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 5>once ballots drop, it doesn't matter how you define your

125
00:06:38.519 --> 00:06:41.720
<v Speaker 5>opponent because people will have already cast their votes. This

126
00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:44.000
<v Speaker 5>is one of the things I hate about early voting.

127
00:06:44.319 --> 00:06:47.040
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I really hate it about early voting because

128
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.720
<v Speaker 5>people will cast their ballots and like in the primary,

129
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.279
<v Speaker 5>you'll cast your ballot and somebody will drop out before

130
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.360
<v Speaker 5>your actual primary day and your vote is just for

131
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:59.120
<v Speaker 5>no one, absolutely no one. So I don't like early voting.

132
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:02.600
<v Speaker 5>But the reality is is that the Republican Party has

133
00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.839
<v Speaker 5>about five weeks to redefine Kamala Harris or define her

134
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 5>positions for her, which is the strategy I think they

135
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:15.079
<v Speaker 5>have to adopt because the news media has proven itself

136
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 5>to be wildly uninterested in forcing the issue of why

137
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.399
<v Speaker 5>she hasn't had a press conference, why she hasn't sat

138
00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:26.079
<v Speaker 5>down for a lengthy interview except with Tim Walls, and

139
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.079
<v Speaker 5>they're like, you know what, there's just so much of

140
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:30.560
<v Speaker 5>a vibe going on right now.

141
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.040
<v Speaker 6>We don't need any meat on the bones. It's a vibe.

142
00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:36.399
<v Speaker 5>Kamala Harris is the candidate who is Obamacare. We have

143
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.959
<v Speaker 5>to elect her to find out what she's going to do.

144
00:07:39.839 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 5>And it is incredibly important that the Republican Party go

145
00:07:44.959 --> 00:07:47.959
<v Speaker 5>back and remind everyone of what she said she was

146
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.160
<v Speaker 5>going to do when she was actually running for president.

147
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:54.920
<v Speaker 5>You know, the thing that shocked me the most this

148
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:59.720
<v Speaker 5>past week, and I'll just be straight up, the thing

149
00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.399
<v Speaker 5>that shocked me the most was that literally no one

150
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:05.759
<v Speaker 5>at all, at all, at anywhere was talking about the

151
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:10.759
<v Speaker 5>fact that for the second time, party leaders in the

152
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.879
<v Speaker 5>DNC decided who was going to be the candidate, not

153
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:16.800
<v Speaker 5>the voters. Remember what they did to Bernie Sanders in

154
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 5>twenty sixteen. They absolutely decapped him, and this time they

155
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.519
<v Speaker 5>didn't even recap the opponent.

156
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 6>They didn't let anyone else in the race.

157
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 5>They are still still right now today they are fighting

158
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 5>in court to keep RFK Junior off the ballot in

159
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:35.759
<v Speaker 5>different states because they don't want you to have options.

160
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.320
<v Speaker 5>They don't even want you to have the candidate that

161
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 5>you voted for. And they who exactly who were the

162
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 5>deciders who named Kamala Harris the candidate? I'd love to

163
00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.080
<v Speaker 5>know the answer to that question. Where was the meeting,

164
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.200
<v Speaker 5>When did it take place? Was it open to Democrats?

165
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.639
<v Speaker 5>Did they have a discussion, were other candidates talked about?

166
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 6>No, none of these things happened.

167
00:08:57.519 --> 00:09:02.399
<v Speaker 5>So we have Democratic Party leadership that is just deciding everything,

168
00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:04.679
<v Speaker 5>and then you have a willing news media who is

169
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 5>doing the bidding for Kamala Harris. Whether it is the

170
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.559
<v Speaker 5>choice by certain journalists who only cover the DNC and

171
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.759
<v Speaker 5>not the RNC. You can just figure out who I'm

172
00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 5>talking about there. I mean, just you know, or it

173
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 5>is the absolute unseeriousness of them just accepting that a

174
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:28.080
<v Speaker 5>major candidate, actually the most big candidate right now leading

175
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 5>in the polls, has released one policy position one.

176
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 6>One.

177
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 5>That's where we are right now. So yeah, but Republicans

178
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.279
<v Speaker 5>better get their heads out of their asses. Because Donald

179
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.320
<v Speaker 5>Trump has no discipline at this point. Donald Trump needs

180
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.440
<v Speaker 5>to be rained in. He needs to be put on message.

181
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.000
<v Speaker 5>And if you want to see a perfect example of that,

182
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.000
<v Speaker 5>I want you to go back and watch Donald Trump's

183
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 5>acceptance speech, which for the first twenty three minutes was

184
00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 5>rivening because he talked about being shot, and for the

185
00:09:57.080 --> 00:10:01.320
<v Speaker 5>next hour was a rambling mess. And last night Kamala

186
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 5>Harris stayed on message. She stayed on point, in out

187
00:10:04.039 --> 00:10:07.440
<v Speaker 5>in thirty seven minutes. Nobody was yawning, nobody was falling asleep.

188
00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 5>That's how you do an acceptance speech at a convention.

189
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:14.000
<v Speaker 5>So somebody needs to rein in Donald Trump's worst instincts.

190
00:10:14.279 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 5>They need to be hammering the fact that she is

191
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:22.039
<v Speaker 5>a full blown leftist progressive bordering on socialism, which she

192
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:24.919
<v Speaker 5>talks about things like the government needs to build more

193
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.799
<v Speaker 5>affordable housing. No, that is not what needs to happen. No,

194
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.279
<v Speaker 5>she never talks about unleashing the American economy. She talks

195
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:39.200
<v Speaker 5>about government doing these things. It's terrible, I mean absolutely terrible.

196
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.960
<v Speaker 5>So let me get some of these questions, because there

197
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:44.679
<v Speaker 5>are a bunch they are coming in. Are you not

198
00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.039
<v Speaker 5>going to cover RFK dropping out coming up in a

199
00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 5>few I absolutely will. But I googled that this morning

200
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:52.399
<v Speaker 5>and I didn't have a time, I didn't have a place.

201
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.440
<v Speaker 5>There was nothing about it in the news this morning.

202
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 6>So as soon as that.

203
00:10:55.639 --> 00:10:58.799
<v Speaker 5>Happens, and if he endorses Trump, I will absolutely talk

204
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.080
<v Speaker 5>about that. We've talked about it throughout the week. As

205
00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:03.799
<v Speaker 5>soon as the news broke, we talked about it. I

206
00:11:03.919 --> 00:11:08.200
<v Speaker 5>don't know that it's a huge positive if he endorses Trump,

207
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:10.639
<v Speaker 5>but every little bit helps because I do think this

208
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:16.440
<v Speaker 5>election is going to be very, very close. Mandy, if

209
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:19.799
<v Speaker 5>you missed Chicago Beef hot Dog, Chicago Mike's Beef and

210
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:23.200
<v Speaker 5>hot Dogs on Briarwood Avenue, I've only had their beef.

211
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:24.480
<v Speaker 6>See they have thin.

212
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.720
<v Speaker 5>Crust pizza two. Okay, good, I'll take that. It was

213
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:28.720
<v Speaker 5>all Trump fear pandering, says this texter.

214
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:31.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was.

215
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:35.279
<v Speaker 5>It was all Boogeyman Trump Project twenty twenty five and

216
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:39.919
<v Speaker 5>the Republicans rejected a bipartisan border deal.

217
00:11:40.200 --> 00:11:44.200
<v Speaker 6>And do you guys realize that all of those talking.

218
00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:48.679
<v Speaker 5>Points are self inflicted wounds by the Republican Party. The

219
00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:53.919
<v Speaker 5>Heritage Foundation under Kevin Roberts, has made so many critical

220
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.360
<v Speaker 5>errors that have absolutely derailed their mission, which is to

221
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.759
<v Speaker 5>put conservative policy positions forward by presenting Project twenty twenty

222
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:06.320
<v Speaker 5>five as a hey, we've created this guide for your

223
00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.840
<v Speaker 5>first year in office, and attaching themselves to Donald Trump,

224
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:12.360
<v Speaker 5>they could very well be the reason he loses this election,

225
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:13.399
<v Speaker 5>among other things.

226
00:12:15.039 --> 00:12:18.240
<v Speaker 6>So we got that. We have Mitch McConnell, who sends

227
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:21.360
<v Speaker 6>a one Republican in the.

228
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.279
<v Speaker 5>Negotiated deal who's not up for reelection for six years.

229
00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:27.919
<v Speaker 5>Mitch McConnell knows that there is a huge section of

230
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:31.000
<v Speaker 5>the United States that wants cheap labor from over the

231
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:31.720
<v Speaker 5>southern border.

232
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.200
<v Speaker 6>He was coltowing to them.

233
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:35.320
<v Speaker 5>He set him up for failure, and now they've given

234
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.039
<v Speaker 5>them the talking point that Republicans are the problem on

235
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:38.399
<v Speaker 5>the border.

236
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:39.879
<v Speaker 7>Yes, a roy and he by the way it looks

237
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:41.879
<v Speaker 7>like right now, and I think we probably will be

238
00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:43.519
<v Speaker 7>able to carry it if it happens during a good

239
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.399
<v Speaker 7>time in the show. It looks like RFK is going

240
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:48.960
<v Speaker 7>to address the nation in moments and Fox News is

241
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:52.000
<v Speaker 7>CG says right now, RFK Junior speaks the mind reports

242
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.159
<v Speaker 7>he'll drop out, And previously, just a few moments ago

243
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.559
<v Speaker 7>they had mentioned about the reports about him endorsement Trump.

244
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.519
<v Speaker 8>So he's scheduled to talk any minutes, so we can

245
00:12:58.519 --> 00:12:58.840
<v Speaker 8>carry that.

246
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.120
<v Speaker 6>We will, we'll grab it. If we can't, we will

247
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 6>will grab it and see if we can cover that.

248
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 5>So again, I don't know if it's a game changer,

249
00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:09.720
<v Speaker 5>but clearing the decks does help in the long run.

250
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 5>The Democrat the Democratic Party is so fake. They became

251
00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:15.720
<v Speaker 5>patriotic gun police wall lovers overnight.

252
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:18.399
<v Speaker 6>Exactly right, exactly right.

253
00:13:19.279 --> 00:13:23.240
<v Speaker 5>They're they're trying to just steal the Republican issues that

254
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:26.159
<v Speaker 5>Republicans have been banging the drum about, and they're doing

255
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.159
<v Speaker 5>it to appeal to moderates who don't like Donald Trump.

256
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.919
<v Speaker 6>And you know what, it might work.

257
00:13:32.759 --> 00:13:36.600
<v Speaker 5>It just may work. Somebody said on one of my posts. Yeah,

258
00:13:36.639 --> 00:13:39.480
<v Speaker 5>they're getting ready to steal the election. If you think

259
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.919
<v Speaker 5>there is not enough hatred of Donald Trump to get

260
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:46.440
<v Speaker 5>Kamala Harris into the White House, you are just being

261
00:13:46.679 --> 00:13:47.879
<v Speaker 5>willfully ignorant.

262
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.679
<v Speaker 6>People that don't like Donald Trump just don't like him.

263
00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.519
<v Speaker 5>They hate him, and they're looking for anybody that seems

264
00:13:55.600 --> 00:14:00.879
<v Speaker 5>reasonable to vote for. Ah, Mandy, what omen and or

265
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.919
<v Speaker 5>person almost pushed you over the edge to say, bs

266
00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:09.480
<v Speaker 5>that is a lie? Wednesday Night Speaker after speaker after speaker,

267
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:12.000
<v Speaker 5>and when Governor Jared Polis stood up there with that

268
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:16.200
<v Speaker 5>asinine copy of the Damn Project twenty twenty five book

269
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:20.399
<v Speaker 5>and blatantly lied about what was in it, that was

270
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:20.639
<v Speaker 5>for me.

271
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.440
<v Speaker 6>I was like, I'm done out.

272
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:26.519
<v Speaker 5>I cannot do this because I know Jared Pulus well

273
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:30.080
<v Speaker 5>enough to know he is an incredibly intelligent person, so

274
00:14:30.360 --> 00:14:32.320
<v Speaker 5>he knew what he was saying.

275
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:32.960
<v Speaker 6>Up there was a lie.

276
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.000
<v Speaker 5>He did it anyway to suck up to the Democratic

277
00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:39.759
<v Speaker 5>Party because he wants to be president. Liar liar, pants

278
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:41.840
<v Speaker 5>on fire. Mandy, did you enter a pie in the

279
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:44.879
<v Speaker 5>state fair competition this year? I did not, mostly because

280
00:14:44.879 --> 00:14:47.879
<v Speaker 5>I was going to be gone This week. Mandy Polis

281
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:50.720
<v Speaker 5>blamed Trump for the COVID mandate in Colorado. Yes, I

282
00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:53.360
<v Speaker 5>heard that. He said it on my show, but because

283
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:55.960
<v Speaker 5>I was being on my best behavior allowing you to

284
00:14:56.039 --> 00:14:59.799
<v Speaker 5>hear directly from the Democrats' mouths without interruption.

285
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:00.360
<v Speaker 6>Let it go.

286
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:03.840
<v Speaker 5>But you all know, you all know exactly what happened

287
00:15:03.840 --> 00:15:05.559
<v Speaker 5>when he told you that you were going to kill

288
00:15:05.679 --> 00:15:07.480
<v Speaker 5>Grandma and wear a damn mask.

289
00:15:08.080 --> 00:15:08.519
<v Speaker 6>Remember that.

290
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:11.600
<v Speaker 8>How dare you not challenge what on your show? Would

291
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.120
<v Speaker 8>they say something you disagree with.

292
00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:14.799
<v Speaker 5>When I was at their house, I didn't want to

293
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:17.039
<v Speaker 5>pee in their punch bowl. Now I am not at

294
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.759
<v Speaker 5>their house, and now I am peeing away. Rhetorically, you must.

295
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.159
<v Speaker 7>Attack at all times, though, Mandy, one hundred the time attacking.

296
00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.559
<v Speaker 6>I know, I know, I know, but that's not how

297
00:15:27.600 --> 00:15:30.159
<v Speaker 6>I roll and never will. Just not not how I

298
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:31.679
<v Speaker 6>do things. And I really wanted to have.

299
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:34.759
<v Speaker 5>The same experience at the at the u DNC that

300
00:15:34.919 --> 00:15:38.279
<v Speaker 5>I had at the RNC, which is just letting people

301
00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.759
<v Speaker 5>talk and letting you make up your own minds, right,

302
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.440
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I just think that that's the way that

303
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.799
<v Speaker 5>we should be doing things. I also trust this audience

304
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:49.960
<v Speaker 5>and I trust you guys to hear the same things

305
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.159
<v Speaker 5>I hear. Right, I think you're smart. I don't need

306
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:57.279
<v Speaker 5>to walk you through, you know, a word by word

307
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.679
<v Speaker 5>of what you should think like other people do. I'm

308
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 5>just saying, let me see here, trying to get this

309
00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:08.440
<v Speaker 5>to update, and it won't all right, So lots of

310
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:10.879
<v Speaker 5>these are coming in and I'm trying get it was

311
00:16:10.919 --> 00:16:13.399
<v Speaker 5>a great speech to batter pants didn't catch on fire,

312
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:15.919
<v Speaker 5>says that text her Mandy. It was a group therapy

313
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.919
<v Speaker 5>session for people who think they were hurt by Trump

314
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.279
<v Speaker 5>before and think he's coming to hurt them again. So

315
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:23.799
<v Speaker 5>I heard very well done Texter, Mandy, thank you and

316
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:27.480
<v Speaker 5>the KAA team reporting was there. Was there the same

317
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:30.679
<v Speaker 5>demonstrations that the RNC as we saw at the DNC. No,

318
00:16:31.799 --> 00:16:34.840
<v Speaker 5>there was one demonstration. It was called march on the RNC.

319
00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:37.799
<v Speaker 5>They said tens of thousands of people were gonna come.

320
00:16:37.840 --> 00:16:41.039
<v Speaker 5>It ended up being tens of people and the.

321
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:45.320
<v Speaker 9>The the so called.

322
00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 6>Protests that were expected at this did not materialize.

323
00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:54.080
<v Speaker 5>Although did you see a rod that apparently last night

324
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 5>as people were trying to leave, Palestinian protesters were standing

325
00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.519
<v Speaker 5>in front of the ride share cars. Can you imagine

326
00:16:59.519 --> 00:17:07.079
<v Speaker 5>how angry everyone was at that? Oh boy, yeah, yeah, yeah,

327
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.839
<v Speaker 5>you guys, after the after the convention is over, everyone,

328
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.119
<v Speaker 5>so thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people

329
00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:17.920
<v Speaker 5>pour out into the streets, a vast majority of whom

330
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:18.960
<v Speaker 5>we're trying to get a ride share.

331
00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:19.640
<v Speaker 3>It was.

332
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:22.640
<v Speaker 5>It was pretty remarkable, uh, the way they had that

333
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.720
<v Speaker 5>set up, and it seemed to work pretty well. We

334
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.559
<v Speaker 5>of course just had to walk back to our abode,

335
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:32.680
<v Speaker 5>which was right down the street. It was fantastic, let's

336
00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.079
<v Speaker 5>do this let's take a very quick time out. I'm

337
00:17:35.079 --> 00:17:39.319
<v Speaker 5>going to organize these questions a little bit and we're

338
00:17:39.319 --> 00:17:42.119
<v Speaker 5>gonna just wait and see if RFK drops out, we

339
00:17:42.160 --> 00:17:43.799
<v Speaker 5>will cover that for you because I also want to

340
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:44.039
<v Speaker 5>hear it.

341
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:46.799
<v Speaker 6>And uh so we'll get that as we do.

342
00:17:46.920 --> 00:17:48.079
<v Speaker 5>But we got to take a quick time out and

343
00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.480
<v Speaker 5>get some news, traffic and weather back after this. We

344
00:17:50.599 --> 00:17:52.680
<v Speaker 5>were just talking about this off the air, and and

345
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.240
<v Speaker 5>you know what was offered to r f K Junior,

346
00:17:55.279 --> 00:17:57.920
<v Speaker 5>because all of this stuff, all these endorsements are very transactional,

347
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:00.880
<v Speaker 5>right so uh and and A Rod said, well, do

348
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.920
<v Speaker 5>you think that Kamala Harris.

349
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:04.039
<v Speaker 6>Said, you know, didn't offer it.

350
00:18:04.160 --> 00:18:07.599
<v Speaker 5>I don't think that the Democrats are concerned at all,

351
00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.640
<v Speaker 5>well maybe a little bit about about him endorsing Trump

352
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.359
<v Speaker 5>because they didn't think it would happen. They've been working

353
00:18:14.480 --> 00:18:16.839
<v Speaker 5>very diligently to just keep him off the ballot.

354
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 8>Well, the Democratic what was that bluff?

355
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 5>Called yes, exactly, So we'll see what this means. But

356
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:26.759
<v Speaker 5>you just said something A Rod I thought was kind

357
00:18:26.759 --> 00:18:28.799
<v Speaker 5>of interesting. A Rod said, now I don't even have

358
00:18:28.880 --> 00:18:32.079
<v Speaker 5>the chance to consider voting for him, right, like like

359
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:34.440
<v Speaker 5>that was going to be your respite in the storm

360
00:18:34.839 --> 00:18:36.559
<v Speaker 5>if you can't figure out a way to vote for

361
00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:39.839
<v Speaker 5>either of these and uh yeah, I think a lot

362
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:41.680
<v Speaker 5>of his followers are going to be super mad.

363
00:18:42.119 --> 00:18:45.400
<v Speaker 6>I think super super mad. So where they end up,

364
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:47.240
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. I have no idea.

365
00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.720
<v Speaker 7>Those votes kind of null and void because those that

366
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:51.839
<v Speaker 7>maybe were considered voting for him just don't vote, and

367
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:53.279
<v Speaker 7>then it just doesn't matter at the end of the

368
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.240
<v Speaker 7>day because it was either an RFK vote or no vote.

369
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:56.839
<v Speaker 5>At the end of the day, I think some of

370
00:18:56.880 --> 00:18:58.960
<v Speaker 5>them will take their marbles and go home and leave

371
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:02.799
<v Speaker 5>it blank. I do think that it really depends on

372
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.519
<v Speaker 5>how much they hate Trump, and you know, whether or

373
00:19:06.519 --> 00:19:09.519
<v Speaker 5>not they can stomach voting for Kamala Harris not knowing

374
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:13.799
<v Speaker 5>anything about what she would be like as a prisondent

375
00:19:13.960 --> 00:19:16.119
<v Speaker 5>because we don't know. Let me rip through some of

376
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:19.160
<v Speaker 5>these text messages because there is a lot of them,

377
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:22.839
<v Speaker 5>and I want to get this to you, Mandy. I

378
00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:25.880
<v Speaker 5>don't think low information voters are confined to the Democratic Party.

379
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:28.839
<v Speaker 5>I would almost say party affiliation these days is probably

380
00:19:28.880 --> 00:19:31.759
<v Speaker 5>more assigned that you're a low information voter than paying

381
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:36.200
<v Speaker 5>attention as an affiliate unaffiliated voter depends on who you

382
00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:38.480
<v Speaker 5>are in the party, right, you know? I mean there

383
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:40.920
<v Speaker 5>are people in the that are very active in both

384
00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:43.920
<v Speaker 5>parties that are that are passionate about this stuff. But

385
00:19:44.279 --> 00:19:47.160
<v Speaker 5>I agree they are low information voters on both sides.

386
00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:49.200
<v Speaker 5>There are also a lot of low information voters that

387
00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:52.519
<v Speaker 5>are affiliated. There's a reason they're unaffiliated because they can't

388
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:54.720
<v Speaker 5>pick a side. Mandy, did you happen to bring back.

389
00:19:54.640 --> 00:19:56.279
<v Speaker 6>Anything cruss pizza from Chicago?

390
00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:56.519
<v Speaker 3>No?

391
00:19:57.200 --> 00:19:59.640
<v Speaker 5>I got stymied because a Rod and I we have

392
00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 5>this this momentary flash of hope that we'd be able

393
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:06.279
<v Speaker 5>to get on an earlier flight, and then we got

394
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:10.720
<v Speaker 5>into Chicago traffic, and that hope was dashed into the dust,

395
00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:15.720
<v Speaker 5>absolutely into the dust. So no, I didn't get more

396
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.519
<v Speaker 5>thin Crest pizza, but I also didn't.

397
00:20:18.319 --> 00:20:20.319
<v Speaker 6>Make the earlier flights.

398
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.559
<v Speaker 5>It was just complete wash and super irritating, and I'm

399
00:20:23.640 --> 00:20:27.359
<v Speaker 5>very unhappy about that anyway, Mandy man Baby Trump responds

400
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:29.039
<v Speaker 5>in real time during Kamala's speech.

401
00:20:29.480 --> 00:20:30.240
<v Speaker 6>Where's Hunter?

402
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:32.519
<v Speaker 5>By the way, Doug m Hoff is the one who

403
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:35.680
<v Speaker 5>had the affair with the nanny, not Waalts. Yes, I

404
00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:39.759
<v Speaker 5>clarified that yesterday when I just had the wrong name

405
00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:41.440
<v Speaker 5>in my head and Honestly.

406
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.880
<v Speaker 6>The exhaustion had just fit in.

407
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:46.240
<v Speaker 5>How are we supposed to compete with people that all

408
00:20:46.319 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 5>they do is lie? And worst of all, the sheep

409
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:49.319
<v Speaker 5>believe it.

410
00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:50.039
<v Speaker 10>You know.

411
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:54.440
<v Speaker 5>I saw an interesting comment about Trump lying versus Kamala

412
00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:56.480
<v Speaker 5>Harris lying and the Democratic Party and the kind of

413
00:20:56.599 --> 00:20:58.799
<v Speaker 5>lying they do, and I'm gonna have to say I

414
00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:02.359
<v Speaker 5>agreed with it. Trump lies about dumb crap that doesn't matter.

415
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:07.319
<v Speaker 5>He lies about self aggrandizing, hyperbolic just to make himself

416
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:12.319
<v Speaker 5>look better. But I cannot have I cannot think. And

417
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:14.079
<v Speaker 5>I thought about this after I saw this comment on

418
00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:16.599
<v Speaker 5>X yesterday. I was trying to think about things that

419
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.079
<v Speaker 5>Donald Trump just blatantly lied about when it came to

420
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:24.640
<v Speaker 5>important issues, and I could not think of them. Maybe

421
00:21:24.680 --> 00:21:26.440
<v Speaker 5>there are, and if you want to text them to

422
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.680
<v Speaker 5>five six six nine, oh please do. But Kamala Harris

423
00:21:29.799 --> 00:21:32.799
<v Speaker 5>and the Democratic Party lied about a bunch of stuff

424
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.519
<v Speaker 5>last night and the night before.

425
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:38.160
<v Speaker 6>They're this lying about Project twenty twenty five. Is genius

426
00:21:38.359 --> 00:21:38.920
<v Speaker 6>on their part.

427
00:21:39.079 --> 00:21:42.759
<v Speaker 5>I mean genius because nobody's gonna read a nine hundred

428
00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:45.880
<v Speaker 5>page document and all these people are just gonna assume

429
00:21:46.400 --> 00:21:47.680
<v Speaker 5>that what they're saying is true.

430
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:50.160
<v Speaker 6>It's a really smart move.

431
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.640
<v Speaker 5>She doesn't even have policy positions on our website, but

432
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:55.279
<v Speaker 5>there's a nine hundred page pdf you can download on

433
00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:57.880
<v Speaker 5>the Democrat page. Because they don't want you to pay

434
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:00.680
<v Speaker 5>attention to them. This is all look over you, look

435
00:22:00.720 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 5>over here.

436
00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.519
<v Speaker 6>That's all the whole convention was. Look over here. Don't

437
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.799
<v Speaker 6>ask us look over there. Oh yeay, yay. It was

438
00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:17.640
<v Speaker 6>really really, really bad. Let's see, Mandy.

439
00:22:17.880 --> 00:22:20.119
<v Speaker 5>It is not true that the Republican Party has been

440
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:23.400
<v Speaker 5>railroaded by Trump's threats to primary them if they don't

441
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:27.200
<v Speaker 5>bow to the king. Adam Kenzinger's speeches are always impressive

442
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:30.279
<v Speaker 5>and on point. Adam Kenzinger needs to just become a Democrat.

443
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:33.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he just needs to stop pretending that he's not.

444
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:36.680
<v Speaker 5>And I'm just gonna say this about the Republicans who

445
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:39.839
<v Speaker 5>showed up at the Democratic National Convention to talk about

446
00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:43.079
<v Speaker 5>why they couldn't vote for Trump. They are officially useful idiots,

447
00:22:43.319 --> 00:22:45.880
<v Speaker 5>because if you're a real Republican and you know anything

448
00:22:46.279 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 5>about the policies that Kamala Harris espoused when she ran

449
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.519
<v Speaker 5>for president the first time, you cannot support that ticket.

450
00:22:53.559 --> 00:22:54.359
<v Speaker 6>You just can't.

451
00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 5>So they all became useful idiots by talking about how

452
00:22:58.200 --> 00:22:59.920
<v Speaker 5>they could not get behind Trump.

453
00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:01.279
<v Speaker 6>And I understand it, I truly do.

454
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.319
<v Speaker 5>You guys know this, But I would never appear at

455
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:06.279
<v Speaker 5>a Democratic Convention to say that.

456
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:07.759
<v Speaker 6>I just wouldn't.

457
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.839
<v Speaker 5>There's a big difference between complaining about Donald Trump as

458
00:23:10.839 --> 00:23:15.440
<v Speaker 5>a Republican and quite another than appearing at a DNC

459
00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:19.799
<v Speaker 5>to support people that are espousing And we will do

460
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.759
<v Speaker 5>everything that you find to be horrible for the United

461
00:23:22.799 --> 00:23:25.720
<v Speaker 5>States as I do. Big, big, big difference. We're going

462
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:28.319
<v Speaker 5>to take a quick time out. We're gonna hear from

463
00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:30.720
<v Speaker 5>RFK Junior hopefully right when we get back.

464
00:23:31.119 --> 00:23:34.599
<v Speaker 6>Stick around. We're coming right back on KWA keep everybody waiting.

465
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:39.839
<v Speaker 10>Sixteen months ago, in April of twenty twenty three, I

466
00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.640
<v Speaker 10>launched my campaign for President of the United States.

467
00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:47.519
<v Speaker 9>I began this journey as a Democrat, the party my father,

468
00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:49.799
<v Speaker 9>my uncle, the.

469
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:53.400
<v Speaker 10>Party which I pledge my own allegiance to long before

470
00:23:53.480 --> 00:23:57.599
<v Speaker 10>I was old enough to vote. I attended my first

471
00:23:58.319 --> 00:24:02.680
<v Speaker 10>Democratic Convention at the age of six in nineteen sixty

472
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.559
<v Speaker 10>and back then, the Democrats were the champions of the

473
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:15.160
<v Speaker 10>Constitution of civil rights. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship,

474
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:22.119
<v Speaker 10>against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars. We were the party

475
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:27.079
<v Speaker 10>of labor of the working class. The Democrats were the

476
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:31.880
<v Speaker 10>party of government transparency and the champion of the environment.

477
00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:36.279
<v Speaker 10>Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and

478
00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.240
<v Speaker 10>corporate power.

479
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:40.960
<v Speaker 9>True to its name, it was the Party of democracy.

480
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:45.319
<v Speaker 10>As you know, I left that party in October because

481
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.960
<v Speaker 10>it had departed so dramatically from.

482
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:52.039
<v Speaker 9>The core values that I grew up with. It had

483
00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:52.440
<v Speaker 9>become the.

484
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:58.799
<v Speaker 10>Party of war, censorship, corruption, big pharm a, big tech,

485
00:25:01.119 --> 00:25:05.920
<v Speaker 10>and big money we wanted abandoned democracy by canceling the

486
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:11.400
<v Speaker 10>primary to CEO the cognitive decline of the sitting president.

487
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:14.839
<v Speaker 10>I left the party to run as an independent.

488
00:25:16.440 --> 00:25:18.519
<v Speaker 9>The mainstream of American.

489
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:23.559
<v Speaker 10>Politics and journalism derided my decision. Conventional wisdom said that

490
00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:25.920
<v Speaker 10>it would be impossible even to get on the ballot

491
00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:31.279
<v Speaker 10>as an independent because each state poses an insurmountable tangle

492
00:25:32.319 --> 00:25:36.880
<v Speaker 10>of arbitrary rules for collecting signatures. I would need over

493
00:25:36.960 --> 00:25:41.000
<v Speaker 10>a million signatures, something no presidential candidate in history had

494
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:45.359
<v Speaker 10>ever achieved, and then I need a team of attorneys

495
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:49.759
<v Speaker 10>and millions of dollars to handle all the legal challenges

496
00:25:49.799 --> 00:25:54.240
<v Speaker 10>from the d N. To say the naysayers told us

497
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:56.319
<v Speaker 10>that we were climbing a glass.

498
00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:58.119
<v Speaker 9>Version of Mount Impossible.

499
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:01.000
<v Speaker 10>So the first thing I want to tell you is

500
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:04.480
<v Speaker 10>that we prove them wrong. We did it because, beneath

501
00:26:04.519 --> 00:26:09.799
<v Speaker 10>the radar of mainstream media organs, we inspired a massive

502
00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:11.200
<v Speaker 10>independent political movement.

503
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:13.079
<v Speaker 9>More than one hundred.

504
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:17.000
<v Speaker 10>Thousand volunteers sprang into action, hopeful that they could reverse

505
00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.880
<v Speaker 10>our nation's decline. Many work ten hour days, sometimes in

506
00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:27.960
<v Speaker 10>blizzards and blazing heat. They sacrifice family time, personal commitments,

507
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:31.839
<v Speaker 10>and sleep month after months. Energized by a shared vision

508
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.559
<v Speaker 10>of a nation yield of its divisions, they set up

509
00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:39.400
<v Speaker 10>tables at churches and farmers' markets.

510
00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:41.759
<v Speaker 9>They canvas door to door.

511
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:47.960
<v Speaker 10>In Utah and in New Hampshire, volunteers collected signatures in snowstorms,

512
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 10>convincing each supporter to stop in the frigid cold, to

513
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.799
<v Speaker 10>take off their gloves, and to sign legendly. During a

514
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:01.160
<v Speaker 10>heat wave in nevadaim And a tall, athletic volunteer who

515
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:03.880
<v Speaker 10>cheerfully told me that he had lost twenty five pounds

516
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:08.279
<v Speaker 10>collecting signatures and then one hundred and seventeen degree heat.

517
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:13.240
<v Speaker 10>To finance this effort, young Americans donated their lunch money

518
00:27:13.880 --> 00:27:18.160
<v Speaker 10>and senior citizens gave up there part of their social

519
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:23.119
<v Speaker 10>Security checks. Our fifty state organization collected those millions of

520
00:27:23.200 --> 00:27:27.960
<v Speaker 10>signatures and more. No presidential campaign, any political American political history,

521
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:31.319
<v Speaker 10>has ever done that, And so I want to thank

522
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:36.960
<v Speaker 10>all of those dedicated volunteers and congratulate the campaign's staff

523
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:46.319
<v Speaker 10>who coordinated this enormous logistical feat. Your accomplishments were regarded

524
00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:50.599
<v Speaker 10>as impossible. You carried me up that class mountain. You

525
00:27:50.759 --> 00:27:54.440
<v Speaker 10>pulled off a miracle. You achieved and all the puntinents

526
00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:58.319
<v Speaker 10>said could never be done. You have my deepest gratitude,

527
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:01.480
<v Speaker 10>and I'm never going to forget that, not just for

528
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.720
<v Speaker 10>what you did for my campaign, but for the sacrifices

529
00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:07.880
<v Speaker 10>you made because you.

530
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:09.079
<v Speaker 9>Love our country.

531
00:28:10.160 --> 00:28:13.359
<v Speaker 10>You show to everyone that democracy is still possible here.

532
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:17.480
<v Speaker 10>It continues to survive in the press and in the

533
00:28:17.640 --> 00:28:22.480
<v Speaker 10>idealistic human energies that still thrive beneath the canvas of

534
00:28:22.640 --> 00:28:24.279
<v Speaker 10>neglect and of.

535
00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:26.839
<v Speaker 9>Official and institutional corruption.

536
00:28:28.160 --> 00:28:30.319
<v Speaker 10>Today, I'm here to tell you that I will not

537
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:34.799
<v Speaker 10>let allow your efforts to go to waste. I'm here

538
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:38.000
<v Speaker 10>to tell you that I will leverage your tremendous accomplishments

539
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:42.240
<v Speaker 10>to serve the ideals that we share. The ideals of peace,

540
00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:48.440
<v Speaker 10>of prosperity, of freedom, of health, all the ideals that

541
00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:53.880
<v Speaker 10>motivated my campaign. I'm here describe the power forward you've

542
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:59.240
<v Speaker 10>opened with your commitment and with your hard labors. Now

543
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.000
<v Speaker 10>in an honor system, I believe that I would have

544
00:29:04.079 --> 00:29:09.000
<v Speaker 10>won the election in a system that kind my father

545
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:15.839
<v Speaker 10>and my uncles thrived in. The system was open debates

546
00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:20.599
<v Speaker 10>with their primers, with regularly scheduled debate with their primers,

547
00:29:20.759 --> 00:29:24.880
<v Speaker 10>and with a truly independent media, untainted by government propaganda

548
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:30.480
<v Speaker 10>and censorship. In a system of nonpartisan courts and election boards,

549
00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:36.599
<v Speaker 10>everything would be different. After all, the polls consistently showed

550
00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:40.920
<v Speaker 10>me beating each of the other candidates, both in favorability.

551
00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:42.559
<v Speaker 9>And also in head to head matchups.

552
00:29:43.640 --> 00:29:46.680
<v Speaker 10>But I'm sorry to say that while democracy may still

553
00:29:46.759 --> 00:29:50.599
<v Speaker 10>be alive at the grassroots, it has become a little

554
00:29:50.640 --> 00:29:54.519
<v Speaker 10>more than a slogan for our political institutions, for our media,

555
00:29:55.680 --> 00:29:58.480
<v Speaker 10>and for our government, and most sadly at all, for me,

556
00:29:59.400 --> 00:29:59.640
<v Speaker 10>for the.

557
00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:00.640
<v Speaker 9>Democ Credit Party.

558
00:30:01.759 --> 00:30:05.960
<v Speaker 10>In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set

559
00:30:05.960 --> 00:30:10.720
<v Speaker 10>itself to dismantling it, lacking confidence in its candidate.

560
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:14.799
<v Speaker 9>That his candidate could win in a fair election.

561
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:20.279
<v Speaker 10>At the voting booths, the DNC wage continual legal warfare

562
00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:24.480
<v Speaker 10>against both President Trump and myself. Each time that our

563
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:29.599
<v Speaker 10>volunteers turned in those towering boxes of signatures needed to

564
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:34.200
<v Speaker 10>get on the ballot, the DNC agniscent to court state

565
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:39.000
<v Speaker 10>after state, attempting to erase their work and to subvert

566
00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:42.279
<v Speaker 10>the will of the voters who had signed those petitions.

567
00:30:43.319 --> 00:30:47.240
<v Speaker 10>It deployed DNZ aligned judges to throw me and other

568
00:30:47.400 --> 00:30:51.759
<v Speaker 10>candidates off the ballot and to throw President Trump in jail.

569
00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:56.759
<v Speaker 10>He ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent

570
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:02.519
<v Speaker 10>any serious challenge to President Biden. Then, when a predictably

571
00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:07.960
<v Speaker 10>bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden,

572
00:31:08.839 --> 00:31:14.799
<v Speaker 10>the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor, also without

573
00:31:14.839 --> 00:31:15.319
<v Speaker 10>an election.

574
00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:17.160
<v Speaker 9>They insold a.

575
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:20.759
<v Speaker 10>Candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped

576
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:25.880
<v Speaker 10>out in twenty twenty without winning a single delegate. My

577
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.839
<v Speaker 10>uncle and my father both relish debate. They prided themselves

578
00:31:30.880 --> 00:31:33.880
<v Speaker 10>on their capacity to go toe to toe with any

579
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:36.519
<v Speaker 10>opponent and the battle over ideas.

580
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:38.279
<v Speaker 9>They would be.

581
00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:42.079
<v Speaker 10>Astonished to learn of a Democratic Party presidential nominee who

582
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:46.640
<v Speaker 10>like Vice President Harris has not appeared in a single

583
00:31:46.720 --> 00:31:52.519
<v Speaker 10>interview or an unscripted encounter with voters for thirty five days.

584
00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:58.079
<v Speaker 10>This is profoundly undemocratic. How are people to choose when

585
00:31:58.160 --> 00:32:01.640
<v Speaker 10>they don't know on their using and how.

586
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:03.319
<v Speaker 9>Can this look to the rest.

587
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:06.759
<v Speaker 10>Of the world. My father and my uncle were always

588
00:32:06.880 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 10>conscious of America's image abroad because of our nation's role

589
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:16.519
<v Speaker 10>as the template for democracy, the role model for democratic processes,

590
00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:20.680
<v Speaker 10>and the leader of the free world. Instead of showing

591
00:32:20.799 --> 00:32:25.200
<v Speaker 10>us her substance and character, the DNC and its media

592
00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:30.160
<v Speaker 10>organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris

593
00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:38.200
<v Speaker 10>based upon well, nothing, no policies, no interviews, no debates.

594
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.960
<v Speaker 10>I'm only smoking mirrors and balloons in a highly reduced

595
00:32:44.039 --> 00:32:50.240
<v Speaker 10>Chicago's circus. They are in Chicago history of Democratic speakers

596
00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:54.680
<v Speaker 10>mentioned Donald Trump one hundred and forty seven times just

597
00:32:54.799 --> 00:32:58.359
<v Speaker 10>on the first day. Who needs a policy when you

598
00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:02.920
<v Speaker 10>have Trump to hate? In contrast, at the RNC convention,

599
00:33:03.200 --> 00:33:04.200
<v Speaker 10>President Biden.

600
00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:06.880
<v Speaker 5>You guys, we are going to butt in right now

601
00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.480
<v Speaker 5>to RFK Junior. We're gonna actually we're rolling.

602
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:09.920
<v Speaker 6>On this right now.

603
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:12.759
<v Speaker 5>Gotta tell you, I kind of agree with what he's

604
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:14.880

<v Speaker 5>We'll do more of this on the other side of

00:33:46.119 --> 00:33:48.559
<v Speaker 5>Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show.

613
00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:51.480
<v Speaker 5>We ran tate on our FK junior so we could

614
00:33:51.519 --> 00:33:54.119
<v Speaker 5>play it for you. Ay Rod, summarize what we're what

615
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:57.920
<v Speaker 5>we're missing between when we cut off and.

616
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.400
<v Speaker 7>What we're going to He's basically continue you like you

617
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 7>like you heard him talk about the ways of the

618
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 7>Democratic Party has failed bull democracy and in his words,

619
00:34:07.279 --> 00:34:10.880
<v Speaker 7>basically saying that democracy is a slogan, which is which

620
00:34:10.920 --> 00:34:13.280
<v Speaker 7>is which is pretty strong and how you know, I

621
00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:15.280
<v Speaker 7>like we like we heard him talk about that there

622
00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:17.559
<v Speaker 7>should have been a primary, should had the opportunity, and

623
00:34:17.840 --> 00:34:20.920
<v Speaker 7>now he's leading into essentially what we assume here in

624
00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:23.400
<v Speaker 7>just mere moments, you're going to hear him him endorsing

625
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:24.199
<v Speaker 7>President Trump.

626
00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:25.840
<v Speaker 5>Go ahead and go to the By the way, I'm

627
00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 5>getting a lot of comments, why does he sound like this?

628
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:31.440
<v Speaker 5>He has a condition called spasmodic dysphonia. We actually talked

629
00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:34.639
<v Speaker 5>about it with my voice doctor, and uh, just so

630
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:36.920
<v Speaker 5>you know, it's a it's a medical condition, not just

631
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:39.280
<v Speaker 5>him being horse, go ahead and play his comments.

632
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:44.159
<v Speaker 10>Polling consistently showed that why he is staying on the

633
00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:47.960
<v Speaker 10>ballot in the battle ground states, I would likely hand

634
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:52.920
<v Speaker 10>the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree

635
00:34:53.840 --> 00:35:00.800
<v Speaker 10>on the most existential issues censorship, war and chronic disease. Oh,

636
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.840
<v Speaker 10>I want everyone to know that I am not terminating

637
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:07.760
<v Speaker 10>my campaign. I am simply suspending it.

638
00:35:09.079 --> 00:35:16.760
<v Speaker 9>And not ending it. My name. My name will remain

639
00:35:17.000 --> 00:35:18.599
<v Speaker 9>on the ballot in most states.

640
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:22.280
<v Speaker 10>If you live in a blue state, you can vote

641
00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.960
<v Speaker 10>for me without harming or helping President Trump or or

642
00:35:26.639 --> 00:35:27.519
<v Speaker 10>Vice President Harris.

643
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:30.239
<v Speaker 9>In red stage, the same will apply.

644
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:35.079
<v Speaker 10>I encourage you to vote for me, and if enough

645
00:35:35.159 --> 00:35:37.519
<v Speaker 10>of you do vote for me, and neither of the

646
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:40.599
<v Speaker 10>major party candidates win two hundred and seventy votes, which

647
00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:44.599
<v Speaker 10>is quite possible. In fact, today our polling shows them

648
00:35:44.679 --> 00:35:49.239
<v Speaker 10>tying it two sixty nine to sixty nine, and I

649
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.000
<v Speaker 10>could conceivably still end up in the White House in

650
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:53.079
<v Speaker 10>a contingent election.

651
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:58.840
<v Speaker 8>But that's not going to happen in about ten.

652
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:03.119
<v Speaker 10>Battleground states where my presence would be as a spoiler.

653
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:05.679
<v Speaker 9>I'm going to remove my name and I've.

654
00:36:05.559 --> 00:36:08.480
<v Speaker 10>Already started that process and urge voters not to vote

655
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:12.800
<v Speaker 10>for me. It's with a sense of victory and not

656
00:36:13.000 --> 00:36:18.239
<v Speaker 10>defeat that I'm suspending my campaign activities. Not only did

657
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:22.199
<v Speaker 10>we do the impossible by collecting a million signatures, we

658
00:36:22.400 --> 00:36:27.800
<v Speaker 10>changed the national political conversation forever. Chronic disease, free speech,

659
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:32.440
<v Speaker 10>government corruption breaking, our addiction to war have moved to

660
00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:35.920
<v Speaker 10>the center of politics. I can say all have worked

661
00:36:36.000 --> 00:36:39.840
<v Speaker 10>so hard the last year and a half. I thank

662
00:36:39.920 --> 00:36:44.360
<v Speaker 10>you for a job well done. Three ka great causes

663
00:36:44.480 --> 00:36:47.559
<v Speaker 10>drove me. Damn It's race in the first place, primarily,

664
00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:51.360
<v Speaker 10>and these are the principal causes that persuaded me to

665
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:56.880
<v Speaker 10>leave the Democratic Democratic Party and run as an independent

666
00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:03.360
<v Speaker 10>and now to throw my support the President Trump. The

667
00:37:03.960 --> 00:37:08.880
<v Speaker 10>causes were free speech, a war in Ukraine, and the

668
00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:12.480
<v Speaker 10>war on our children. I've already described some of my

669
00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:15.719
<v Speaker 10>personal experiencesn't struggles with.

670
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:18.199
<v Speaker 9>A government censorship industrial complex.

671
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:21.039
<v Speaker 10>I want to say a word about the Ukraine war

672
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:26.559
<v Speaker 10>the military industrial conplex has provided us with a familiar

673
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:28.320
<v Speaker 10>comic book.

674
00:37:28.400 --> 00:37:31.480
<v Speaker 5>John, Okay, we're gonna We're gonna go out now. He

675
00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:34.320
<v Speaker 5>should have said all that before. But interesting, he's not.

676
00:37:35.400 --> 00:37:37.039
<v Speaker 5>He's not ending his campaign.

677
00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:38.639
<v Speaker 6>He will be on the.

678
00:37:38.679 --> 00:37:42.800
<v Speaker 5>Ballot in solidly red or solidly blue states, but he's

679
00:37:42.880 --> 00:37:46.920
<v Speaker 5>removing his name from the ballot in swing states. This

680
00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:50.440
<v Speaker 5>is fascinating to me because there's a zero percent chance

681
00:37:50.519 --> 00:37:53.280
<v Speaker 5>of what he said could happen. And you know, in

682
00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:56.280
<v Speaker 5>a provisional election, I can know you're not gonna wind

683
00:37:56.360 --> 00:38:01.079
<v Speaker 5>up being president. So he's kind of I don't know,

684
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:04.559
<v Speaker 5>I mean, is he's splitting the baby here because he's

685
00:38:04.960 --> 00:38:08.880
<v Speaker 5>not going to say to his followers that I'm out.

686
00:38:10.039 --> 00:38:12.119
<v Speaker 5>But if you're an RFK person, we're not in a

687
00:38:12.199 --> 00:38:15.239
<v Speaker 5>swing We're not a swing state anymore. We're solidly blue,

688
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:20.559
<v Speaker 5>solidly blue. Someone just pointed out, let me see here.

689
00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:26.400
<v Speaker 5>So Biden's stutter is fair game for ridicule. But RFK

690
00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:30.599
<v Speaker 5>has a medical condition, gotcha do better? Of course they

691
00:38:30.679 --> 00:38:35.280
<v Speaker 5>put you better, of course, of course. And to be clear,

692
00:38:35.559 --> 00:38:37.480
<v Speaker 5>I make fun of Joe Biden for being old and

693
00:38:37.639 --> 00:38:40.079
<v Speaker 5>adult and not being able to follow a teleprompter.

694
00:38:40.199 --> 00:38:43.559
<v Speaker 6>But I've never made fun of his stutter. I don't

695
00:38:43.599 --> 00:38:44.199
<v Speaker 6>feel the need to.

696
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:46.840
<v Speaker 5>There's so much else to make fun of in that man.

697
00:38:47.800 --> 00:38:49.480
<v Speaker 5>By the way, he's on vacation again. I know you're

698
00:38:49.480 --> 00:38:51.480
<v Speaker 5>all gonna be happy to see that. Today on the blog,

699
00:38:51.559 --> 00:38:55.039
<v Speaker 5>I do have a story that asks the simple question, who,

700
00:38:56.000 --> 00:38:58.880
<v Speaker 5>who exactly is running the country right now?

701
00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:03.880
<v Speaker 6>Because uh, yeah, Kamala obviously is not.

702
00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:09.119
<v Speaker 5>And Biden went from a weekend in Delaware to decide

703
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.800
<v Speaker 5>to drop out, a long weekend at Camp David to

704
00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:16.880
<v Speaker 5>relax and rest, and now five days in California to

705
00:39:17.079 --> 00:39:19.639
<v Speaker 5>relax and rest. So who exactly is running things at

706
00:39:19.639 --> 00:39:23.159
<v Speaker 5>the White House? I think that's a fair question, because

707
00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:28.679
<v Speaker 5>certainly we do not have that right there. Hey, hey, Rod,

708
00:39:28.760 --> 00:39:31.400
<v Speaker 5>I want to play this trum Oh hang on, sorry

709
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 5>about that.

710
00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:32.679
<v Speaker 6>I want to play this.

711
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:37.400
<v Speaker 5>This happened at the RNC. Betty Johnson took his show

712
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:40.639
<v Speaker 5>to the RNC and asked a bunch of people outside

713
00:39:41.119 --> 00:39:45.679
<v Speaker 5>the DNC or inside what they why they were supporting

714
00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:46.360
<v Speaker 5>Kamala Harris.

715
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:48.039
<v Speaker 6>So just just listen to this.

716
00:39:48.280 --> 00:39:50.280
<v Speaker 2>Trumper, Kamala What do you think Trump? Kamala Harris?

717
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:52.199
<v Speaker 9>Oh God, it's Kamala.

718
00:39:52.280 --> 00:39:55.719
<v Speaker 8>Definitely yes, yeah, absolutely, what's.

719

<v Speaker 7>Your favorite thing Kamala done last four years?

00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:00.360
<v Speaker 2>Honestly died?

721
00:40:02.320 --> 00:40:03.440
<v Speaker 9>Actually, don't use.

722
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:08.840
<v Speaker 2>This, Yeah, Kamala why, well.

723
00:40:08.800 --> 00:40:09.280
<v Speaker 8>She's.

724
00:40:12.000 --> 00:40:13.519
<v Speaker 6>Okay, Well, I'm I'm not gonna lie.

725
00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:15.760
<v Speaker 4>I'm not super knowledgeable, so I can't really speak too

726
00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:16.079
<v Speaker 4>much on.

727
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:18.679
<v Speaker 6>It because Trump's sucks ass the pretty much same thing.

728
00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Yep, yeah, what do you think?

729
00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:22.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

730
00:40:22.119 --> 00:40:22.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

731
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Do you know Tim Wallas he's telling shirts?

732
00:40:25.119 --> 00:40:26.639
<v Speaker 6>This guy is holding on shirts, he's selling.

733
00:40:26.679 --> 00:40:29.119
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I'm asking the same question, right, I've been

734
00:40:29.159 --> 00:40:31.639
<v Speaker 4>doing my research lately. Yeah, so I ain't got I

735
00:40:31.679 --> 00:40:34.280
<v Speaker 4>ain't a hundred percent yet, so I can't answer that.

736
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:38.559
<v Speaker 6>Trumper Kamala huggers he's selling shirt he was.

737
00:40:38.880 --> 00:40:41.360
<v Speaker 7>What's your favorite thing about the last four years that

738
00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:43.280
<v Speaker 7>Kamala Harris been vice president?

739
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.079
<v Speaker 9>She was she was the president.

740
00:40:49.039 --> 00:40:50.920
<v Speaker 8>Because she was the president vice president.

741
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:54.559
<v Speaker 7>Of course, that's a no braina right.

742
00:40:54.639 --> 00:40:57.079
<v Speaker 6>She's a woman, she's a woman.

743
00:40:57.719 --> 00:40:58.559
<v Speaker 2>How's it been selling?

744
00:40:58.639 --> 00:40:59.280
<v Speaker 8>How's it been selling?

745
00:40:59.320 --> 00:40:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Good shirts?

746
00:41:00.840 --> 00:41:07.679
<v Speaker 6>And he says, not so much. We just had a

747
00:41:07.760 --> 00:41:14.039
<v Speaker 6>bunch of police tell us to burn our shirts. Yep, yep, yep.

748
00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:16.840
<v Speaker 7>Do you not remember when regarding shirts? What happened to

749
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:21.679
<v Speaker 7>us on the way back one night. No remember now

750
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:26.480
<v Speaker 7>what happened that they were selling stolen T shirts?

751
00:41:26.519 --> 00:41:28.239
<v Speaker 6>Oh my god, I forgot about that.

752
00:41:28.719 --> 00:41:31.639
<v Speaker 5>So this guy has like a wagon and a little

753
00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:34.639
<v Speaker 5>card table and he's literally yelling at people as they're

754
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:35.840
<v Speaker 5>leaving the convention.

755
00:41:36.400 --> 00:41:40.599
<v Speaker 6>Stolen shirts twenty dollars. Stolen shirts twenty dollars. And I

756
00:41:40.719 --> 00:41:45.519
<v Speaker 6>was like, well, I guess advertising.

757
00:41:46.639 --> 00:41:47.119
<v Speaker 8>I don't know.

758
00:41:49.079 --> 00:41:51.000
<v Speaker 6>We did not buy a shirt, though, So how effective

759
00:41:51.039 --> 00:41:53.039
<v Speaker 6>it was? You know, how effective was it?

760
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:56.480
<v Speaker 8>Really? I mean pretty effective? I thought of like half

761
00:41:56.519 --> 00:41:58.119
<v Speaker 8>a second more than I ever normally.

762
00:41:58.239 --> 00:42:00.199
<v Speaker 5>Was you really were gonna like, I'll just buy the

763
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:03.280
<v Speaker 5>shirt because it's stolen. I'm buying the hottest shirt in town.

764
00:42:04.960 --> 00:42:05.360
<v Speaker 8>Marketing?

765
00:42:06.119 --> 00:42:09.360
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, not that good, but yeah, he offered to

766
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:12.719
<v Speaker 5>sell us. We offered to sell a stolen shirt, so

767
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:14.599
<v Speaker 5>we got that going for us. I did not see

768
00:42:14.639 --> 00:42:17.719
<v Speaker 5>any political memorabilia that I wanted to buy. I bought

769
00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:21.119
<v Speaker 5>some buttons at the RNC because they were hilarious and

770
00:42:21.199 --> 00:42:23.000
<v Speaker 5>I shared them on my social media that that are

771
00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:27.719
<v Speaker 5>just really funny. And I didn't see anything entertaining in

772
00:42:27.800 --> 00:42:29.880
<v Speaker 5>the swag there. Did you see any of the crazy

773
00:42:29.960 --> 00:42:30.639
<v Speaker 5>stuff that we saw?

774
00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:30.960
<v Speaker 11>Did you?

775
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:32.960
<v Speaker 6>I mean did you. I looked at a couple of swag.

776
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:35.000
<v Speaker 5>Tables, but I didn't really see anything, and they didn't

777
00:42:35.000 --> 00:42:36.800
<v Speaker 5>have a bunch of swag inside the event.

778
00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:40.880
<v Speaker 6>It was it was kind of weird, you know, kind

779
00:42:40.920 --> 00:42:41.239
<v Speaker 6>of weird.

780
00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:42.599
<v Speaker 8>Aperiance is your swag?

781
00:42:43.239 --> 00:42:43.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

782
00:42:43.760 --> 00:42:47.000
<v Speaker 6>Okay, the excellent Yeah, jo, So that you have inside

783
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:48.400
<v Speaker 6>you is your swag?

784
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:49.039
<v Speaker 9>Yeah?

785
00:42:49.159 --> 00:42:52.960
<v Speaker 5>Let me let me go back to some of our texters.

786
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:55.320
<v Speaker 5>It's an ask me anything about the d NC kind

787
00:42:55.360 --> 00:42:57.119
<v Speaker 5>of day. We're not going to talk about it anymore

788
00:42:57.159 --> 00:42:59.679
<v Speaker 5>after today because I'm tired of talking about it, but

789
00:42:59.760 --> 00:43:02.159
<v Speaker 5>I do want to answer some questions and you can

790
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:04.000
<v Speaker 5>text us on our common Spirit health text.

791
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:07.320
<v Speaker 6>I have six six N I O, and let me

792
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.159
<v Speaker 6>go down to where we are.

793
00:43:11.239 --> 00:43:14.760
<v Speaker 5>Kamalo was strong when talking about prosecuting Trump and Republicans,

794
00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:18.119
<v Speaker 5>but comes across like a teenage girl when talking about herself,

795
00:43:18.559 --> 00:43:21.159
<v Speaker 5>swaying and tilting her head.

796
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:23.199
<v Speaker 6>This thing keeps updating.

797
00:43:23.280 --> 00:43:25.679
<v Speaker 5>Hang on, Mandy, did you see the Denver seven fact

798
00:43:25.760 --> 00:43:28.159
<v Speaker 5>check on police's DNC speech. They must not have received

799
00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:31.119
<v Speaker 5>this stand down memo. I was very proud of Denver

800
00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:36.360
<v Speaker 5>seven for doing that. I mean very very proud, very proud.

801
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:42.159
<v Speaker 5>Adam Kinzinger has to stay a Republican to stay relevant

802
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:46.760
<v Speaker 5>the Democrat Party. Correct, Yes, yes, indeed, our ballots need

803
00:43:46.840 --> 00:43:48.920
<v Speaker 5>a none of the above option, and if that box

804
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:51.840
<v Speaker 5>gets a certain percentage of the total vote, both parties

805
00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:53.960
<v Speaker 5>have to go back to the drawing board. There are

806
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:57.199
<v Speaker 5>multiple European countries that have a no confidence option on

807
00:43:57.360 --> 00:43:59.880
<v Speaker 5>every ballot, and if you don't like either of the candidates,

808
00:43:59.920 --> 00:44:02.360
<v Speaker 5>you vote no confidence and the parties have to go

809
00:44:02.440 --> 00:44:05.400
<v Speaker 5>back and find someone else. Mandy, Seriously, I heard a

810
00:44:05.440 --> 00:44:08.079
<v Speaker 5>younger person say they prefer the Socialist Party and voting

811
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:08.360
<v Speaker 5>for them.

812
00:44:08.440 --> 00:44:09.000
<v Speaker 6>I asked why.

813
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:13.639
<v Speaker 5>They said, because they are very social not kidding, and

814
00:44:13.800 --> 00:44:19.599
<v Speaker 5>makes me wonder how many people think this? Yeah, how

815
00:44:19.679 --> 00:44:22.880
<v Speaker 5>far left has the Democratic Party? If JF or RFK

816
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:30.800
<v Speaker 5>junior endorses Trump yep, yep, yep yep RFK for CIA director,

817
00:44:30.840 --> 00:44:34.039
<v Speaker 5>imagine a Kennedy with all those secrets. Really enjoyed your

818
00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:36.960
<v Speaker 5>coverage at both DNC and RNC. Thanks and darned you, Manny,

819
00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:40.599
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, you're very welcome. What fell out of Nancy's pants?

820
00:44:41.079 --> 00:44:43.760
<v Speaker 5>Apparently when Nancy Pelosi was walking up to the podium

821
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:46.719
<v Speaker 5>something a note card is what it is, and I've

822
00:44:46.760 --> 00:44:49.639
<v Speaker 5>looked at the pictures like the Zuppruder film and it

823
00:44:49.840 --> 00:44:54.559
<v Speaker 5>was indeed a note card. So we will figure out. Yep,

824
00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:55.480
<v Speaker 5>you've convinced me.

825
00:44:55.719 --> 00:44:58.559
<v Speaker 6>I'm going to ignore policy and vote for the vibe.

826
00:44:59.000 --> 00:44:59.519
<v Speaker 6>Thanks again.

827
00:44:59.760 --> 00:44:59.800
<v Speaker 12>Not.

828
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:02.559
<v Speaker 5>I hope people who vote Harris get what they voted for.

829
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:06.079
<v Speaker 5>A sad part is they inflict that on me. Alexa

830
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:09.599
<v Speaker 5>has this great text, Mandy isn't an ironic. The DNC

831
00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:12.719
<v Speaker 5>theme was they are not going back yet. The most

832
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:17.320
<v Speaker 5>prominent speakers were from the past. Great point, Alexa. And no,

833
00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:21.519
<v Speaker 5>Chuck did not go because he his head would have

834
00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:24.360
<v Speaker 5>exploded and he doesn't have the edit button that I have.

835
00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:27.800
<v Speaker 5>Just to let you know, it would somebody would have

836
00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:31.800
<v Speaker 5>gotten killed by Chuck. I mean maybe not, but somebody would.

837
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:33.519
<v Speaker 5>There would have been a fight. There would have been

838
00:45:33.599 --> 00:45:38.920
<v Speaker 5>multiple fights, and that's why Chuck did not go. Says here,

839
00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:43.679
<v Speaker 5>I'll bet you mentioned I'll bet you that last voter

840
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:46.920
<v Speaker 5>you mentioned calls yourself an independent but votes liberal all

841
00:45:47.119 --> 00:45:48.280
<v Speaker 5>the effing time.

842
00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:49.960
<v Speaker 6>Quite possibly.

843
00:45:51.239 --> 00:45:53.840
<v Speaker 5>Will the Democrats continue to keep Harris out of the

844
00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:58.400
<v Speaker 5>public eye if they can, If they can, more hookers

845
00:45:58.440 --> 00:46:01.079
<v Speaker 5>at the RNC or DNC. Hey, Ron, we didn't run

846
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:04.159
<v Speaker 5>into any hookers. I feel like we've done something wrong.

847
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.760
<v Speaker 5>No hookers, Mandy. I'm scared to death about Democrats being

848
00:46:07.800 --> 00:46:09.880
<v Speaker 5>in charge of our country for another four years. It's

849
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:12.000
<v Speaker 5>like the last three and a half years did not exist.

850
00:46:12.440 --> 00:46:14.719
<v Speaker 5>But the Republican Party is in such shambles, and there

851
00:46:14.719 --> 00:46:17.559
<v Speaker 5>are too many people who absolutely hate Trump. I'm voting

852
00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:20.079
<v Speaker 5>for policies, but unfortunately too many people vote for the

853
00:46:20.119 --> 00:46:24.079
<v Speaker 5>person instead of the policies. And I'm sorry that when

854
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:27.320
<v Speaker 5>I said Alexa, you're Alexa went off and I bet

855
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:32.559
<v Speaker 5>I said a whole bunch more off. Yeah, Alexa, play kaway, Yeah,

856
00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:36.320
<v Speaker 5>Alexa play koway on iHeartMedia.

857
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:38.039
<v Speaker 8>On iHeartMedia.

858
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:41.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, there you go. And Andy, please describe the pizza

859
00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:42.880
<v Speaker 6>you had one more time. I'm hungry.

860
00:46:42.960 --> 00:46:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Here we go.

861
00:46:43.559 --> 00:46:47.920
<v Speaker 5>It was a delicious Chicago thin crust pizza with roasted

862
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:51.159
<v Speaker 5>tomatoes chopped up on it, a nice layer of soaprisetta

863
00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:54.480
<v Speaker 5>and then drizzled with hot honey. Oh my god, it

864
00:46:54.639 --> 00:46:58.199
<v Speaker 5>was so good, and little blobs of whipped ricotta on

865
00:46:58.360 --> 00:47:00.840
<v Speaker 5>each piece, and it was party. It was not cut

866
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:03.320
<v Speaker 5>into wedges. It was cut into little pieces. And now

867
00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:05.599
<v Speaker 5>I want that to I want it to.

868
00:47:06.360 --> 00:47:09.440
<v Speaker 8>As good as the Chicago Dog, though you know, the

869
00:47:09.519 --> 00:47:10.239
<v Speaker 8>Chicago Dog.

870
00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:11.239
<v Speaker 6>Was outstanding, Mandy.

871
00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:14.239
<v Speaker 5>They shouldn't sell swag because they don't believe in capitalists,

872
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.559
<v Speaker 5>even though most of them are multi millionaires and a

873
00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:20.800
<v Speaker 5>fewer billionaires. Yeah, swag bag from the DNC would be

874
00:47:20.800 --> 00:47:22.639
<v Speaker 5>a clean needle and an at home abortion kit.

875
00:47:23.000 --> 00:47:25.079
<v Speaker 6>I wish that that was Like, I wish that that

876
00:47:25.239 --> 00:47:33.960
<v Speaker 6>was just funny and not real. So yeah, I wish

877
00:47:34.000 --> 00:47:34.480
<v Speaker 6>that that was.

878
00:47:36.079 --> 00:47:39.239
<v Speaker 5>I wish that was something that was actually not, you know,

879
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:47.880
<v Speaker 5>not it's it's funny, but it's sadly accurate. Ryan Schuling

880
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:49.400
<v Speaker 5>asked me yesterday when I was talking to him on

881
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:52.719
<v Speaker 5>his show, what was the most disturbing thing at the

882
00:47:52.840 --> 00:47:57.239
<v Speaker 5>DNC and the abortion and vasectomy bus that had been

883
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:04.119
<v Speaker 5>provided by Planned hairn Hood was really gross to me,

884
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:05.639
<v Speaker 5>just gross.

885
00:48:06.519 --> 00:48:08.639
<v Speaker 6>I mean, the vasectomy thing not that big a deal.

886
00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:11.480
<v Speaker 5>A lot of vasectames can be reversed, not all of them,

887
00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:15.639
<v Speaker 5>but most vasectames can be reversed. An abortion, of course, cannot,

888
00:48:16.719 --> 00:48:18.559
<v Speaker 5>So there you go, Mandy. I tried a few times

889
00:48:18.599 --> 00:48:21.280
<v Speaker 5>to watch the convention but gave up. I couldn't make

890
00:48:21.360 --> 00:48:24.679
<v Speaker 5>it through the cringe. What was the cringiest thing for you.

891
00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:27.920
<v Speaker 5>Cringiest thing, cringiest thing, Aaron.

892
00:48:27.639 --> 00:48:29.119
<v Speaker 6>What do you think the cringiest thing was?

893
00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:32.039
<v Speaker 7>Was that something we saw in person or like after

894
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:34.960
<v Speaker 7>the fact, like on TV or like a report or something,

895
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:38.159
<v Speaker 7>because trying to think, I mean.

896
00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:41.599
<v Speaker 8>A lot of the stuff with the with the Project

897
00:48:41.639 --> 00:48:43.239
<v Speaker 8>twenty twenty five prop was to be.

898
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:46.480
<v Speaker 6>It was just they were just lying. They were just

899
00:48:46.840 --> 00:48:47.880
<v Speaker 6>making stuff up.

900
00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:53.119
<v Speaker 7>On making sure everyone knows how to pronounce Kamala's name

901
00:48:53.480 --> 00:48:55.519
<v Speaker 7>was a little a little a little cringey.

902
00:48:56.880 --> 00:48:58.400
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, that was that was Yeah.

903
00:48:58.440 --> 00:48:59.320
<v Speaker 8>With their nieces, that.

904
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:03.519
<v Speaker 6>Was Tama la la la. Let's all say it together.

905
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:07.960
<v Speaker 5>It was just you know, it's fine, Yeah, it's fine.

906
00:49:08.159 --> 00:49:10.679
<v Speaker 5>Can I get your feeling on rfkjun you're supporting Trump.

907
00:49:10.960 --> 00:49:12.679
<v Speaker 5>We talked about this a little bit when it kind

908
00:49:12.679 --> 00:49:14.960
<v Speaker 5>of broke earlier this week that this might happen. I

909
00:49:15.000 --> 00:49:19.079
<v Speaker 5>think the way he's doing it, he's trying to trying

910
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:20.719
<v Speaker 5>to have his cake and eat it too, in that

911
00:49:21.119 --> 00:49:23.639
<v Speaker 5>he's not fully dropping out. He will be on the

912
00:49:23.679 --> 00:49:27.679
<v Speaker 5>ballot in red or blue states, but he's going to

913
00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:31.599
<v Speaker 5>remove his name from swing state ballots, and I think

914
00:49:31.760 --> 00:49:35.760
<v Speaker 5>that is maybe more confusing than not. If that makes

915
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:38.440
<v Speaker 5>sense to you, guys like I don't know. We'll have

916
00:49:38.519 --> 00:49:43.760
<v Speaker 5>to see if it has any any I don't know,

917
00:49:44.000 --> 00:49:47.559
<v Speaker 5>any staying power if it ends up mattering.

918
00:49:48.960 --> 00:49:50.159
<v Speaker 6>So there you go, Mandy, would you.

919
00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:52.039
<v Speaker 5>Go back to Chicago for a vacation? Is it a

920
00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:56.360
<v Speaker 5>vacation destination? Absolutely? A Ron and I both loved it.

921
00:49:56.559 --> 00:49:57.440
<v Speaker 6>We loved it.

922
00:49:57.599 --> 00:50:02.639
<v Speaker 5>Yesterday we walked seven miles. We got up early after

923
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:06.880
<v Speaker 5>a late night and we went and went to the Bean,

924
00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:10.480
<v Speaker 5>which of course is cloud Gate and we walked over

925
00:50:10.639 --> 00:50:13.239
<v Speaker 5>from the Bean over the Navy Pier, which was quite

926
00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:15.400
<v Speaker 5>the hike, but it was a lovely walk down the

927
00:50:15.480 --> 00:50:18.920
<v Speaker 5>waterfront and everything. We crossed the bridge over the Chicago River.

928
00:50:19.039 --> 00:50:21.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean it was, and the weather was glorious.

929
00:50:22.280 --> 00:50:24.760
<v Speaker 7>I had thought about it, and I'm ready to make

930
00:50:24.760 --> 00:50:28.280
<v Speaker 7>it official. Chicago has the best food scene for me,

931
00:50:28.400 --> 00:50:30.000
<v Speaker 7>in the dustry, in the country.

932
00:50:30.199 --> 00:50:32.639
<v Speaker 5>It was outstanding. Every single thing that we ate was

933
00:50:32.719 --> 00:50:33.719
<v Speaker 5>absolutely delicious.

934
00:50:33.760 --> 00:50:35.519
<v Speaker 7>I've been to forty nine of the fifty states and

935
00:50:35.599 --> 00:50:37.199
<v Speaker 7>Chicago has the best food that I've had in the

936
00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:38.079
<v Speaker 7>entire country.

937
00:50:38.480 --> 00:50:41.800
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it was. It was outstanding. Outstanding. Mandy. Do you

938
00:50:41.880 --> 00:50:43.880
<v Speaker 6>mean the planned parenthood, spay and neuter bus.

939
00:50:44.159 --> 00:50:47.559
<v Speaker 5>Yes, and Andy, that is what I meant right there, Mandy,

940
00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:50.199
<v Speaker 5>I did a project for the Obama DNC. There was

941
00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:55.840
<v Speaker 5>an escort liaison. Shut up, shut up, So there was

942
00:50:55.880 --> 00:51:03.960
<v Speaker 5>a pimp on the payroll. That's crazy, absolutely crazy, Mandy.

943
00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:07.039
<v Speaker 5>Did you notice that DNC speakers in Harris only talked

944
00:51:07.079 --> 00:51:10.599
<v Speaker 5>about Kamala's time as Attorney General as a prosecutor. Never

945
00:51:10.760 --> 00:51:12.679
<v Speaker 5>did they talk about her as a senator, And of

946
00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:15.199
<v Speaker 5>course they couldn't talk about her as VP. You would

947
00:51:15.280 --> 00:51:17.760
<v Speaker 5>never know that she was anything other than a prosecutor.

948
00:51:18.199 --> 00:51:21.719
<v Speaker 5>Exactly right, because what she's doing right now, and I

949
00:51:21.760 --> 00:51:24.960
<v Speaker 5>will say this, she took credit last night for everything

950
00:51:25.000 --> 00:51:28.920
<v Speaker 5>good that happened during the Biden administration, but she sure

951
00:51:29.000 --> 00:51:31.960
<v Speaker 5>doesn't want to actually have a conversation about what she

952
00:51:32.199 --> 00:51:34.920
<v Speaker 5>actually did, right Mandy.

953
00:51:35.000 --> 00:51:37.400
<v Speaker 6>How much poop did you see on the streets? None?

954
00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:39.079
<v Speaker 5>Zero?

955
00:51:39.639 --> 00:51:41.599
<v Speaker 6>Ay Rod? How many encampments did we see?

956
00:51:42.360 --> 00:51:42.639
<v Speaker 8>None?

957
00:51:43.039 --> 00:51:43.559
<v Speaker 6>And zero?

958
00:51:43.679 --> 00:51:46.599
<v Speaker 8>I don't even think any homeless. Maybe one homeless, maybe.

959
00:51:46.519 --> 00:51:49.960
<v Speaker 5>One person laying in the park yesterday when we were walking,

960
00:51:50.000 --> 00:51:51.400
<v Speaker 5>but they didn't appear to have a bunch.

961
00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:52.920
<v Speaker 6>Of stuff with them. It could just be somebody sleeping

962
00:51:52.960 --> 00:51:53.280
<v Speaker 6>in the park.

963
00:51:53.360 --> 00:51:53.760
<v Speaker 8>I don't know.

964
00:51:55.079 --> 00:52:00.000
<v Speaker 6>They cleaned up Chicago really really well, didn't know Clinton

965
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:02.559
<v Speaker 6>didn't pronounce her name wrong. Also, he did that.

966
00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:08.280
<v Speaker 5>He slaughtered Kamala's name in his speech. He called her

967
00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:11.760
<v Speaker 5>Kamala over and over and over again. So obviously Bill

968
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:13.840
<v Speaker 5>Clinton is a racist as well as.

969
00:52:13.760 --> 00:52:20.079
<v Speaker 6>A horn dog. There you go, Mandy. I tried to

970
00:52:21.159 --> 00:52:24.679
<v Speaker 6>who was talking? Oh, hit it, I'm about to start speaking.

971
00:52:25.199 --> 00:52:27.000
<v Speaker 6>Oh he's about to start speaking. Everybody has to say

972
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:29.960
<v Speaker 6>he's everybody has to say. Blah blah, blah blah blah.

973
00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:30.320
<v Speaker 6>Here we go.

974
00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:33.920
<v Speaker 5>We will find out as he is accepting the sort

975
00:52:33.960 --> 00:52:36.239
<v Speaker 5>of nom or endorsement of.

976
00:52:38.000 --> 00:52:38.559
<v Speaker 6>Donald Trump.

977
00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:44.800
<v Speaker 10>We just had a very nice uh endorsement from RFK Junior.

978
00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:49.159
<v Speaker 8>Bobby and I'll be talking about that.

979
00:52:49.280 --> 00:52:51.199
<v Speaker 9>We're heading out right after this. We're going to be

980
00:52:51.239 --> 00:52:54.519
<v Speaker 9>going to Arizona. We'll be talking about that and a

981
00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:56.800
<v Speaker 9>lot of other things too. But I just want to

982
00:52:56.840 --> 00:52:59.920
<v Speaker 9>thank everybody, and I want to thank Bobby. Those very nice.

983
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:03.079
<v Speaker 9>That was really a very answer. That's big. He's a

984
00:53:03.079 --> 00:53:07.639
<v Speaker 9>great guy, respected by everybody. So thank you all for

985
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:11.760
<v Speaker 9>this incredible welcome we're getting.

986

<v Speaker 10>And I'm going to tell Abby here, the next time

<v Speaker 10>we do this together, he's going to get me.

988
00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:18.840
<v Speaker 9>A little light up here, gonna give me a little

989
00:53:18.920 --> 00:53:21.440
<v Speaker 9>light so you can read this a little speech. But

990
00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:22.960
<v Speaker 9>you know what it does, It makes you speak a

991
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:27.400
<v Speaker 9>little bit less. So that's okay too. What I do

992
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:30.119
<v Speaker 9>want to thank you all, and I want to thank Javier.

993
00:53:30.239 --> 00:53:34.599
<v Speaker 9>This is a fantastic restaurant and the reputation is as

994
00:53:34.639 --> 00:53:36.639
<v Speaker 9>good as it gets, as good as it gets. And

995
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:38.800
<v Speaker 9>I'm going to come here next time to eat. Is

996
00:53:38.880 --> 00:53:44.199
<v Speaker 9>that okay? I will be doing that too. We have

997
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:47.360
<v Speaker 9>with US Lieutenant Governor Stavros.

998
00:53:47.599 --> 00:53:49.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, we're going to just go to break because when

999
00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:51.840
<v Speaker 5>we get back, we're changing gears completely for a moment.

1000
00:53:52.280 --> 00:53:57.719
<v Speaker 5>There's a big event tomorrow in Glendale for well season citizens.

1001
00:53:57.280 --> 00:53:59.519
<v Speaker 6>Over sixty five. It's actually really cool. We're going to

1002
00:53:59.559 --> 00:53:59.840
<v Speaker 6>talk to you.

1003
00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:03.519
<v Speaker 5>I lean about that next so stick around. We're going

1004
00:54:03.599 --> 00:54:04.719
<v Speaker 5>to do some news, trafficking.

1005
00:54:04.360 --> 00:54:05.599
<v Speaker 6>And weather right here on KOA.

1006
00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:08.920
<v Speaker 5>It's the thirty fifth annual Salute to Seniors. It is

1007
00:54:09.039 --> 00:54:13.599
<v Speaker 5>part of the Colorado Gerontological Societies thirty fifth celebration and

1008
00:54:13.719 --> 00:54:16.159
<v Speaker 5>joining me now is the executive director of the Colorado

1009
00:54:16.239 --> 00:54:20.519
<v Speaker 5>Gerontological Gerontological Society, Eileen Doherty.

1010
00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:22.079
<v Speaker 6>Eileen, welcome to the show.

1011
00:54:23.719 --> 00:54:25.119
<v Speaker 12>Nuns I'm happy to be here with you.

1012
00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:28.519
<v Speaker 5>First of all, what is the Colorado Gerontological Society. Let's

1013
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:29.000
<v Speaker 5>start with that.

1014
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:36.079
<v Speaker 13>Long process organization that was established in nineteen eighty and

1015
00:54:36.719 --> 00:54:40.880
<v Speaker 13>we work in three basic different areas. We work in education,

1016
00:54:41.159 --> 00:54:47.039
<v Speaker 13>training and information. We work in some legislative public policy work.

1017
00:54:47.559 --> 00:54:50.239
<v Speaker 13>And then we do some we don't call them.

1018
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:51.039
<v Speaker 12>They're like not.

1019
00:54:51.199 --> 00:54:53.599
<v Speaker 13>Direct services in the sense that it's not like a

1020
00:54:53.679 --> 00:54:57.000
<v Speaker 13>home care agency, but we like I have a grant

1021
00:54:57.079 --> 00:55:02.760
<v Speaker 13>program to help people with dental services, and we volunteers

1022
00:55:02.920 --> 00:55:08.000
<v Speaker 13>with telephone buddies, and we deliver Christmas baskets and holiday

1023
00:55:08.079 --> 00:55:10.599
<v Speaker 13>baskets over the holidays. So we do some of those

1024
00:55:10.719 --> 00:55:15.920
<v Speaker 13>kinds of programming, right. And then let's say we do

1025
00:55:16.039 --> 00:55:19.480
<v Speaker 13>some legislative work, mostly at the state level, that sometimes

1026
00:55:19.519 --> 00:55:23.039
<v Speaker 13>we get drawn into the national stuff on Medicare or

1027
00:55:23.159 --> 00:55:24.480
<v Speaker 13>Social Security as well.

1028
00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:29.519
<v Speaker 5>I think that's all incredibly important because I used to

1029
00:55:29.559 --> 00:55:30.679
<v Speaker 5>sell Medicare supplements.

1030
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:32.400
<v Speaker 6>This is where this is coming from, what I'm about

1031
00:55:32.440 --> 00:55:32.679
<v Speaker 6>to say.

1032
00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:36.519
<v Speaker 5>And just at a point when some seniors, certainly not

1033
00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:41.559
<v Speaker 5>all seniors, maybe have some trouble grasping things right, understanding

1034
00:55:41.679 --> 00:55:45.239
<v Speaker 5>things complicated new, we throw them into the medicare system,

1035
00:55:45.639 --> 00:55:49.440
<v Speaker 5>which is completely different and complicated. I'm glad you guys

1036
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:51.760
<v Speaker 5>work on that kind of stuff. Let's talk about the

1037
00:55:51.960 --> 00:55:54.280
<v Speaker 5>thirty fifty and it will salute to seniors. What is

1038
00:55:54.320 --> 00:55:55.159
<v Speaker 5>this event all about?

1039
00:55:57.159 --> 00:56:01.400
<v Speaker 13>So it's an senior expo, if youll, and we've always

1040
00:56:01.519 --> 00:56:04.920
<v Speaker 13>prided ourselves in making it a fun event that is

1041
00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:10.079
<v Speaker 13>also then filled with lots of education, information and resources.

1042
00:56:10.920 --> 00:56:15.800
<v Speaker 13>So there's entertainment, there's lots of games. There's lots of

1043
00:56:17.400 --> 00:56:21.320
<v Speaker 13>food vendors joining us this year, so there'll be a

1044
00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:25.360
<v Speaker 13>lot of opportunity to just experience different things, play trivia,

1045
00:56:26.920 --> 00:56:32.599
<v Speaker 13>play bingo. We're doing a new program this year called Triangles,

1046
00:56:33.039 --> 00:56:35.920
<v Speaker 13>which is a math program, so there'll be.

1047
00:56:35.960 --> 00:56:36.880
<v Speaker 12>Lots of things to do.

1048
00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:41.360
<v Speaker 13>And we have about fifty different vendors that have joined

1049
00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:45.920
<v Speaker 13>us with information on resources for seniors as well. So

1050
00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:51.880
<v Speaker 13>they range the gamut from housing to medical alert equipment

1051
00:56:52.280 --> 00:56:57.360
<v Speaker 13>to a wide variety of things home care agencies, et cetera.

1052
00:56:57.719 --> 00:57:01.320
<v Speaker 5>So pretty much anything you would need or yourself or

1053
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:03.559
<v Speaker 5>an aging parent. It sounds like you're going to be

1054
00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:06.800
<v Speaker 5>able to get some information here at this event. Yes,

1055
00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:10.239
<v Speaker 5>you're also giving away a couple of pairs of Broncos tickets.

1056
00:57:10.280 --> 00:57:11.840
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you've got some fun stuff going on. Is

1057
00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:13.840
<v Speaker 5>there going to be food? Is there going to be music?

1058
00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:15.119
<v Speaker 5>Is it going to be a fun party?

1059
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:22.079
<v Speaker 12>Be a fun party? So yes, Sprouts and Target and.

1060
00:57:24.599 --> 00:57:28.719
<v Speaker 13>Sam's Club are all donating snack kinds of food and drinks,

1061
00:57:28.760 --> 00:57:31.519
<v Speaker 13>so there's lots of snacks and foods going on. There's

1062
00:57:31.639 --> 00:57:35.679

1065
00:57:45.480 --> 00:57:48.920
<v Speaker 13>us with some country music. And then there'll be a

1066
00:57:49.039 --> 00:57:53.280
<v Speaker 13>trio that will play like rock and kind of soft music.

1067
00:57:55.000 --> 00:58:01.199
<v Speaker 13>As I said, there's bingo. Additionally, the Ronco tickets are

1068
00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:06.239
<v Speaker 13>preseason tickets. There's also lots of drawings. Sprouts is giving

1072
00:58:19.480 --> 00:58:20.400
<v Speaker 13>and outside your car.

1073
00:58:20.519 --> 00:58:23.119
<v Speaker 6>I want one of those, miss yes, exactly.

1074
00:58:23.719 --> 00:58:27.159
<v Speaker 12>Enter toy, so sorry, it'll be available for somebody else.

1075
00:58:28.199 --> 00:58:32.079
<v Speaker 13>We also got a large number of candles and plants

1076
00:58:32.239 --> 00:58:36.360
<v Speaker 13>and various things donated from Target, and so there'll be

1077
00:58:36.480 --> 00:58:39.400
<v Speaker 13>lots and lots of drawings and different things to give

1078
00:58:39.440 --> 00:58:40.079
<v Speaker 13>away Tomorrow.

1079
00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:43.199
<v Speaker 5>I put a link to the blog on my blog

1080
00:58:43.239 --> 00:58:46.480
<v Speaker 5>at mandy'sblog dot com to your website so people can

1081
00:58:46.679 --> 00:58:49.559
<v Speaker 5>sign up. Do you have to r s VP? Does

1082
00:58:49.599 --> 00:58:52.440
<v Speaker 5>it cost anything to come? What does that process look like?

1083
00:58:54.360 --> 00:58:58.320
<v Speaker 13>You do not have to r s VP, it's suggested,

1084
00:58:58.440 --> 00:59:00.519
<v Speaker 13>but at this like date, don't worry about it.

1085
00:59:02.559 --> 00:59:04.519
<v Speaker 12>The event is free.

1086
00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:07.960
<v Speaker 13>Additionally, we are at the Greek Events Center, which is

1087
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:11.320
<v Speaker 13>at forty six to ten East Alameda, so there is

1088
00:59:11.519 --> 00:59:16.880
<v Speaker 13>parking on the Greek Events campus. Additionally, we have some

1089
00:59:17.079 --> 00:59:20.840
<v Speaker 13>parking that's available at the Jewish Community Center, which is

1090
00:59:21.079 --> 00:59:24.239
<v Speaker 13>on the other side of Dallias Street and Leedsdale, and

1091
00:59:24.280 --> 00:59:28.920
<v Speaker 13>there's also parking at Augustana Lutheran Church in of Age

1092
00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:32.840
<v Speaker 13>is going to rotate their buses, so there'll be a

1093
00:59:32.960 --> 00:59:36.239
<v Speaker 13>central place where you can get picked up and you

1094
00:59:36.400 --> 00:59:38.119
<v Speaker 13>just park your car in one of those lots and

1095
00:59:38.159 --> 00:59:41.559
<v Speaker 13>then they'll bring you up to the campus, so that

1096
00:59:41.760 --> 00:59:45.920
<v Speaker 13>hopefully people will be able to navigate that easier. The

1097
00:59:46.000 --> 00:59:48.360
<v Speaker 13>other thing I've forgot to mention in terms of things

1098
00:59:48.440 --> 00:59:51.320
<v Speaker 13>to do, which again I wish I had wasn't running

1099
00:59:51.360 --> 00:59:51.760
<v Speaker 13>the show.

1100
00:59:53.480 --> 00:59:56.679
<v Speaker 12>But the Assumption Cathedral Church.

1101
00:59:58.159 --> 01:00:02.599
<v Speaker 13>Is going to be doing a guided tour of the

1102
01:00:02.800 --> 01:00:05.519
<v Speaker 13>church with and if you have never been in the church,

1103
01:00:05.840 --> 01:00:10.480
<v Speaker 13>there's an incredible amount of art and statuary there and

1104
01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:12.480
<v Speaker 13>they're going to be running a tour of that, so

1105
01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:18.880
<v Speaker 13>that's another feature. Additionally, Forny Museum of Transportation is going

1106
01:00:19.039 --> 01:00:22.679
<v Speaker 13>to be bringing four classic cars, so if you're into

1107
01:00:22.960 --> 01:00:23.880
<v Speaker 13>old cars.

1108
01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:26.000
<v Speaker 12>Come join us and talk with the folks from forty

1109
01:00:27.119 --> 01:00:29.000
<v Speaker 12>so there are lots of things to do. There will

1110
01:00:29.000 --> 01:00:33.000
<v Speaker 12>also be a farmer's market. It sounds photo booth.

1111
01:00:33.119 --> 01:00:35.159
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it sounds like a great way to spend a day.

1112
01:00:35.719 --> 01:00:36.400
<v Speaker 6>I mean a great way.

1113
01:00:36.440 --> 01:00:39.280
<v Speaker 5>It starts at nine thirty goes until three. I've got

1114
01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:43.639
<v Speaker 5>a link to the website. The website is Senioranswers dot

1115
01:00:43.840 --> 01:00:46.079
<v Speaker 5>org and from there it's very easy to find the

1116
01:00:46.199 --> 01:00:50.119
<v Speaker 5>information about the event. Eileen, this sounds absolutely fantastic.

1117
01:00:50.239 --> 01:00:51.159
<v Speaker 6>I hope you have an.

1118
01:00:51.159 --> 01:00:55.719
<v Speaker 5>Absolutely smashing Saturday as you celebrate seniors at the thirty

1119
01:00:55.800 --> 01:00:58.199
<v Speaker 5>five annual Salute to Seniors event.

1120
01:00:58.320 --> 01:00:59.840
<v Speaker 6>Thank you so much for making time for it.

1121
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:03.880
<v Speaker 12>Hey, thank you how all your listeners can join us.

1122
01:01:04.199 --> 01:01:06.880
<v Speaker 5>All right, that is Eileen Doherty, thank you so much.

1123
01:01:07.079 --> 01:01:10.320
<v Speaker 5>And that sounds like a very nice way to spend

1124
01:01:10.360 --> 01:01:13.159
<v Speaker 5>a day with your with your folks. If your folks

1125
01:01:13.199 --> 01:01:16.239
<v Speaker 5>are older, or maybe you're getting older, head on down

1126
01:01:16.320 --> 01:01:20.599
<v Speaker 5>and get all that good information. Now, hey, Rod, how

1127
01:01:20.599 --> 01:01:25.400
<v Speaker 5>about now we're trying to take care of a tech issue. Now, okay,

1128
01:01:25.559 --> 01:01:27.559
<v Speaker 5>let's take a quick time out. We will be right

1129
01:01:27.679 --> 01:01:31.559
<v Speaker 5>back after this. Kamala Harris said that she whispered, she

1130
01:01:31.760 --> 01:01:34.760
<v Speaker 5>was the voice that whispered in Joe Biden's ear about

1131
01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:39.039
<v Speaker 5>withdrawing from Afghanistan, essentially saying, yeah, do it. So I

1132
01:01:39.159 --> 01:01:42.840
<v Speaker 5>just thought, in the spirit of you know, accountability for

1133
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:45.800
<v Speaker 5>hers and she implied that she was the one that

1134
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:48.159
<v Speaker 5>kind of pushed that over the edge, thought we do

1135
01:01:48.199 --> 01:01:50.559
<v Speaker 5>a little check in real quick in Afghanistan. I know,

1136
01:01:50.639 --> 01:01:53.679
<v Speaker 5>we don't talk about Afghanistan much because it's gone back.

1137
01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:56.119
<v Speaker 6>To being a complete hell whole.

1138
01:01:57.119 --> 01:02:00.360
<v Speaker 5>But as long as they don't allow terrorists to launch

1139
01:02:00.400 --> 01:02:02.519
<v Speaker 5>another attack on our country, what business is it of

1140
01:02:02.639 --> 01:02:05.320
<v Speaker 5>mine if Afghanistan wants to be a hell hole?

1141
01:02:05.880 --> 01:02:09.280
<v Speaker 6>You know, I do want to share with you some

1142
01:02:09.440 --> 01:02:10.320
<v Speaker 6>of the new laws that.

1143
01:02:10.360 --> 01:02:14.719
<v Speaker 5>Have recently been passed in Afghanistan thanks to the Party

1144
01:02:14.760 --> 01:02:18.840
<v Speaker 5>of Women who decided to desert Afghanistan with no plan

1145
01:02:19.039 --> 01:02:26.320
<v Speaker 5>to maintain security. The Taliban rulers have issued new rules

1146
01:02:27.480 --> 01:02:31.119
<v Speaker 5>as part of its propagation of virtue and the prevention

1147
01:02:31.400 --> 01:02:36.800
<v Speaker 5>of vice laws. A new one hundred and fourteen page

1148
01:02:36.880 --> 01:02:40.800
<v Speaker 5>thirty five article document has been seen by the Associated Press.

1149
01:02:41.199 --> 01:02:44.119
<v Speaker 5>It's the first formal declaration of vice and virtue laws

1150
01:02:44.159 --> 01:02:49.599
<v Speaker 5>in Afghanistan since the takeover. The laws empower the Ministry

1151
01:02:50.400 --> 01:02:53.639
<v Speaker 5>of Vice and Virtue to be at the forefront of

1152
01:02:53.800 --> 01:03:00.320
<v Speaker 5>regulating personal conduct, administering punishments like warnings or arrest if

1153
01:03:00.440 --> 01:03:04.280
<v Speaker 5>enforcers alleged that Afghans had broken the law. Article thirteen,

1154
01:03:04.400 --> 01:03:07.519
<v Speaker 5>that's the fun one that relates to women. It says

1155
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:10.880
<v Speaker 5>it is mandatory for a woman to veil her body

1156
01:03:11.000 --> 01:03:13.840
<v Speaker 5>at all times in public, and that a face covering

1157
01:03:14.039 --> 01:03:19.880
<v Speaker 5>is essential to avoid temptation and tempting others. Clothing should

1158
01:03:19.920 --> 01:03:24.440
<v Speaker 5>not be thin, tight or short. Women should veil themselves

1159
01:03:24.519 --> 01:03:27.800
<v Speaker 5>in front of all male strangers, including Muslims, and in

1160
01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:32.360
<v Speaker 5>front of all non Muslims to avoid being corrupted. A

1161
01:03:32.440 --> 01:03:37.000
<v Speaker 5>woman's voice is deemed intimate and so should not be

1162
01:03:37.159 --> 01:03:42.400
<v Speaker 5>heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is

1163
01:03:42.480 --> 01:03:44.760
<v Speaker 5>forbidden for women to look at men they are not

1164
01:03:44.880 --> 01:03:49.440
<v Speaker 5>related to by blood or marriage, and vice versa. Article

1165
01:03:49.519 --> 01:03:53.480
<v Speaker 5>seventeen bans the publication of images of living beings, threatening

1166
01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:58.280
<v Speaker 5>an already fragile Afghan media landscape. Article nineteen bans the

1167
01:03:58.320 --> 01:04:03.000
<v Speaker 5>playing of music, the insportation of solo female travelers, and

1168
01:04:03.159 --> 01:04:06.280
<v Speaker 5>the mixing of men and women who are not related.

1169
01:04:05.920 --> 01:04:06.480
<v Speaker 6>To each other.

1170
01:04:06.960 --> 01:04:11.199
<v Speaker 5>The law also obliges passengers and drivers to perform prayers

1171
01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:16.280
<v Speaker 5>at designated times. According to the ministry website, the promotion

1172
01:04:16.360 --> 01:04:20.039
<v Speaker 5>of virtue includes prayer aligning the character and behavior of

1173
01:04:20.119 --> 01:04:23.559
<v Speaker 5>Muslims with Islamic law, encouraging women to wear a job,

1174
01:04:23.960 --> 01:04:24.920
<v Speaker 5>and inviting.

1175
01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:26.920
<v Speaker 6>People to comply with the five Pillars of Islam.

1176
01:04:27.239 --> 01:04:30.800
<v Speaker 5>It also says the elimination of vice involves prohibiting people

1177
01:04:31.159 --> 01:04:32.199
<v Speaker 5>from doing things.

1178
01:04:32.000 --> 01:04:36.519
<v Speaker 6>Forbidden by Islamic law. So that seems to be going well.

1179
01:04:37.199 --> 01:04:42.719
<v Speaker 5>You know, I remember back when the Taliban took over

1180
01:04:43.239 --> 01:04:45.880
<v Speaker 5>and the New York Times had a story that was like, hey,

1181
01:04:45.960 --> 01:04:48.480
<v Speaker 5>you know what, They're going to be awesome for women's

1182
01:04:48.559 --> 01:04:49.320
<v Speaker 5>rights this time.

1183
01:04:50.199 --> 01:04:53.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, don't pay attention to what.

1184
01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:56.559
<v Speaker 5>They did way back then before we depose them and

1185
01:04:56.679 --> 01:05:01.400
<v Speaker 5>actually instituted laws that allowed women to do crazy things

1186
01:05:01.639 --> 01:05:02.519
<v Speaker 5>like be in.

1187
01:05:02.519 --> 01:05:04.039
<v Speaker 6>The streets and talk.

1188
01:05:05.559 --> 01:05:10.519
<v Speaker 5>Like have jobs, go to school, crazy nutty stuff that

1189
01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:13.880
<v Speaker 5>happened in the twenty years that we were running Afghanistan.

1190
01:05:13.960 --> 01:05:17.480
<v Speaker 5>And I actually feel incredibly sorry for the women who

1191
01:05:17.599 --> 01:05:20.719
<v Speaker 5>lived through those twenty years because now they have gone

1192
01:05:21.239 --> 01:05:21.639
<v Speaker 5>right back.

1193
01:05:21.719 --> 01:05:24.000
<v Speaker 6>Talk about taking something back, you know.

1194
01:05:24.199 --> 01:05:27.800
<v Speaker 5>But if past performance is any indication of future behavior,

1195
01:05:27.880 --> 01:05:30.960
<v Speaker 5>and don't you always hear that on commercials for things

1196
01:05:31.119 --> 01:05:35.280
<v Speaker 5>like financial services, past.

1197
01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:36.440
<v Speaker 6>Performance is not an indication of future behavior.

1198
01:05:37.320 --> 01:05:40.119
<v Speaker 5>Well, you can look at someone's past history and unless

1199
01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:46.239
<v Speaker 5>they have, you know, fully explained their evolution of their

1200
01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:49.840
<v Speaker 5>prior positions. And I'm just throw this out here totally unconnected.

1201
01:05:50.159 --> 01:05:54.559
<v Speaker 5>Say candidate president or vice president Harris. She just a

1202
01:05:54.639 --> 01:05:57.800
<v Speaker 5>few years ago wanted a bandfracking, was in favor of

1203
01:05:57.880 --> 01:06:00.679
<v Speaker 5>defunding the police. She actually urged people to donate to

1204
01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:03.519
<v Speaker 5>a bail fund as they were burning Minneapolis down to

1205
01:06:03.559 --> 01:06:05.800
<v Speaker 5>get them out of jail so they could burn more stuff.

1206
01:06:06.159 --> 01:06:08.960
<v Speaker 5>She has had all these wild positions. She wants to

1207
01:06:09.079 --> 01:06:12.639
<v Speaker 5>reimagine ice, get rid of ice. She wants to decriminalize

1208
01:06:12.679 --> 01:06:14.480
<v Speaker 5>coming over the southern border at least.

1209
01:06:14.320 --> 01:06:15.599
<v Speaker 6>I mean back in twenty nineteen.

1210
01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:20.920
<v Speaker 5>So if you think you know past performance and statements

1211
01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:23.119
<v Speaker 5>would be an indication of future performance, just keep all

1212
01:06:23.199 --> 01:06:27.559
<v Speaker 5>that in mind. This person just asked, you think OnlyFans

1213
01:06:27.599 --> 01:06:29.239
<v Speaker 5>Afghanistan will be successful.

1214
01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:37.639
<v Speaker 6>Hmmm hmm, yeah, yeah, I don't know.

1215
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:39.320
<v Speaker 3>I do not know.

1216
01:06:40.239 --> 01:06:45.599
<v Speaker 5>Axios in Trump officials back away from the twenty twenty

1217
01:06:45.679 --> 01:06:48.920
<v Speaker 5>Taliban peace deal after withdrawal.

1218
01:06:49.639 --> 01:06:50.039
<v Speaker 6>Chaos.

1219
01:06:51.800 --> 01:06:57.880
<v Speaker 5>So the Trump administration, from what I understand, was very

1220
01:06:58.000 --> 01:07:01.559
<v Speaker 5>firm on leaving enough for is there to maintain stability.

1221
01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:03.960
<v Speaker 5>And last I saw that was about fifteen hundred forces

1222
01:07:04.119 --> 01:07:06.199
<v Speaker 5>was what they estimated they would need to have in

1223
01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:10.480
<v Speaker 5>place just to maintain stability, and none of those were

1224
01:07:10.559 --> 01:07:14.760
<v Speaker 5>left there, none of those. Biden used that as an

1225
01:07:14.800 --> 01:07:17.719
<v Speaker 5>excuse to follow through with the agreement. He said, we

1226
01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:20.079
<v Speaker 5>don't want to fight with the Taliban, there would be

1227
01:07:20.159 --> 01:07:24.440
<v Speaker 5>more troops required. And now Biden has blamed Trump for

1228
01:07:24.480 --> 01:07:27.199
<v Speaker 5>the chaos in Afghanistan, saying the former president in bolden

1229
01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:30.400
<v Speaker 5>the Taliban and left the insurgency group in the strongest

1230
01:07:30.679 --> 01:07:33.760
<v Speaker 5>position militarily since two thousand and three. The reality is

1231
01:07:33.840 --> 01:07:37.079
<v Speaker 5>is that we never decimated and defeated the Taliban, and

1232
01:07:37.760 --> 01:07:43.679
<v Speaker 5>for eight years of that. That was Barack Obama's job

1233
01:07:44.159 --> 01:07:47.880
<v Speaker 5>for eight years prior to Trump. Just throwing that out there,

1234
01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:49.280
<v Speaker 5>just throwing it out there.

1235
01:07:49.559 --> 01:07:52.199
<v Speaker 6>We will be right back it is. Ask me anything

1236
01:07:52.199 --> 01:07:52.960
<v Speaker 6>about the DNC.

1237
01:07:53.199 --> 01:07:56.440
<v Speaker 5>After a flurry of questions, they've calmed down, So your questions,

1238
01:07:56.519 --> 01:07:58.079
<v Speaker 5>new questions coming up next.

1239

<v Speaker 6>Keep it right here on KOWA.

<v Speaker 6>Welcome, well for welcome. We are working our way through

01:08:29.960 --> 01:08:32.640
<v Speaker 6>a Friday, third hour of the show.

1248
01:08:32.800 --> 01:08:35.279
<v Speaker 5>And at the beginning of the show, I said, okay,

1249
01:08:35.359 --> 01:08:38.960
<v Speaker 5>let's have our last conversations about the DNC today. I

1250
01:08:39.079 --> 01:08:41.279
<v Speaker 5>am no longer at the party, So if you'd like

1251

<v Speaker 5>me to pee in the punch bowl, just let me

1252
01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:46.079
<v Speaker 5>know what you'd like to know about the DNC. You

1259
01:09:10.600 --> 01:09:14.920
<v Speaker 5>members of the Colorado Coalition who totally never responded to

1260
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:18.000
<v Speaker 5>our request to come on the show. Hey, Rod, let's

1261
01:09:18.000 --> 01:09:21.000
<v Speaker 5>threw some people under the bus real quick, okay, because

1262
01:09:21.079 --> 01:09:24.279
<v Speaker 5>you reached out to every member of the Democratic Party

1263
01:09:24.359 --> 01:09:27.680
<v Speaker 5>that is in the congressional delegation here from Colorado.

1264
01:09:28.039 --> 01:09:29.279
<v Speaker 6>And what were the responses.

1265
01:09:29.920 --> 01:09:31.680
<v Speaker 7>Well, obviously, like you mentioned, we had we had the

1266
01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:34.520
<v Speaker 7>two senators on Senator to Hickenlooper and and we appreciated

1267
01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:35.960
<v Speaker 7>both of those fantastic interviews.

1268
01:09:36.039 --> 01:09:37.479
<v Speaker 8>Governor Polis dot Buy as well.

1269
01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:38.199
<v Speaker 6>Appreciate that.

1270
01:09:40.399 --> 01:09:44.920
<v Speaker 7>Representative Peterson I believe did not respond at all. Let

1271
01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:48.760
<v Speaker 7>me one hundred percent confirm that stand by. In the meantime,

1272
01:09:48.840 --> 01:09:52.039
<v Speaker 7>I will tell you that it's Peterson Patterson.

1273
01:09:52.119 --> 01:09:52.359
<v Speaker 8>Okay.

1274
01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:56.520
<v Speaker 7>Week week of we could not find the right scheduling

1275
01:09:56.600 --> 01:09:59.079
<v Speaker 7>for Representative Crow. There was an effort there, but it

1276
01:09:59.119 --> 01:10:02.720
<v Speaker 7>wound up turning in to no appearance. That worked out

1277
01:10:02.800 --> 01:10:06.720
<v Speaker 7>time wise, yep. And the same for Representative to Get

1278
01:10:07.000 --> 01:10:10.960
<v Speaker 7>And I believe let me double check here, I believe

1279
01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:14.680
<v Speaker 7>we didn't get Yeah, we got absolutely nothing from from

1280
01:10:14.840 --> 01:10:15.640
<v Speaker 7>Negoose's team.

1281
01:10:15.760 --> 01:10:16.960
<v Speaker 8>Representative ne Goose.

1282
01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:20.000
<v Speaker 5>Nothing, just crickets chirping. Couldn't be bothered to even.

1283
01:10:19.840 --> 01:10:25.279
<v Speaker 7>Say counting here we got one, two, three total emails

1284
01:10:25.600 --> 01:10:29.079
<v Speaker 7>to no Goose's team, the initial email, all the details,

1285
01:10:29.119 --> 01:10:30.560
<v Speaker 7>two follow ups and nothing.

1286
01:10:30.720 --> 01:10:33.199
<v Speaker 8>Same with Representative Patterson.

1287
01:10:33.479 --> 01:10:38.119
<v Speaker 7>And then it was crow and to get with week

1288
01:10:38.159 --> 01:10:40.920
<v Speaker 7>of communication but cannot find the right scheduling time.

1289
01:10:41.920 --> 01:10:42.800
<v Speaker 9>Okay, there we go.

1290
01:10:42.960 --> 01:10:43.520
<v Speaker 14>Just letting you know.

1291
01:10:43.680 --> 01:10:46.199
<v Speaker 5>We were trying to get everybody on and as you heard,

1292
01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:48.960
<v Speaker 5>I was very respectful. I let people make their points.

1293
01:10:49.359 --> 01:10:52.079
<v Speaker 5>I didn't inject my opinion in any evident until Michael

1294
01:10:52.079 --> 01:10:54.199
<v Speaker 5>Bennett said we needed a new agency. And then I

1295
01:10:54.279 --> 01:10:57.079
<v Speaker 5>had to stop that nonsense. Right then I was like, no,

1296
01:10:57.640 --> 01:10:59.319
<v Speaker 5>no more agencies. But then he said I could pick

1297
01:10:59.359 --> 01:11:02.039
<v Speaker 5>one to get rid of. I chose the irs. He said, No,

1298
01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:05.640
<v Speaker 5>this is how negotiations happened, people. This is what the

1299
01:11:05.680 --> 01:11:06.840
<v Speaker 5>back and forth is all about.

1300
01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:10.279
<v Speaker 6>Mandy. If you apply this is from the text line.

1301
01:11:10.319 --> 01:11:13.039
<v Speaker 5>If you apply past performance is an indicator of future

1302
01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:16.920
<v Speaker 5>performance of Harris, you must apply that to Trump as well.

1303
01:11:17.319 --> 01:11:21.680
<v Speaker 5>So we may have riots, incited, denigration of individuals, disrespect

1304
01:11:21.760 --> 01:11:24.800
<v Speaker 5>for NATO, friendship with Putin, and, in Trump's words, a

1305
01:11:24.920 --> 01:11:28.359
<v Speaker 5>dictatorship for at least a day. Right, Okay, I'll break

1306
01:11:28.399 --> 01:11:32.800
<v Speaker 5>this down. I would go back to the time when

1307
01:11:32.880 --> 01:11:35.399
<v Speaker 5>the economy was chugging along. I would go back to

1308
01:11:35.479 --> 01:11:40.399
<v Speaker 5>an administration that was slowly but surely rolling back useless

1309
01:11:40.439 --> 01:11:42.800
<v Speaker 5>regulations that are still on the books by passing a

1310
01:11:43.279 --> 01:11:45.600
<v Speaker 5>If you pass a regulation, well you have to get

1311
01:11:45.680 --> 01:11:46.079
<v Speaker 5>rid of two.

1312
01:11:47.319 --> 01:11:48.159
<v Speaker 6>I would go back to that.

1313
01:11:49.319 --> 01:11:52.600
<v Speaker 5>I would go back to a president who really wanted

1314
01:11:52.600 --> 01:11:55.159
<v Speaker 5>to unleash all of our energy opportunities.

1315
01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:56.479
<v Speaker 6>I would go back to that.

1316
01:11:56.640 --> 01:11:58.840
<v Speaker 5>I would go back to a president who didn't necessarily

1317
01:11:58.880 --> 01:12:01.359
<v Speaker 5>want to create edicts that tell me I have to

1318
01:12:01.399 --> 01:12:04.279
<v Speaker 5>buy an electric car after a certain year. I would

1319
01:12:04.319 --> 01:12:07.159
<v Speaker 5>absolutely go back to that. I would go back to

1320
01:12:07.439 --> 01:12:11.720
<v Speaker 5>a lot of these things. And for Trump, disrespect for

1321
01:12:11.840 --> 01:12:15.920
<v Speaker 5>NATO is comical. Do you know what Trump did with NATO?

1322
01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:19.279
<v Speaker 5>Trump did with NATO what I have been asking anyone

1323
01:12:19.720 --> 01:12:23.000
<v Speaker 5>to do with NATO for like twenty years. Trump told NATO,

1324
01:12:23.399 --> 01:12:28.239
<v Speaker 5>we are tired of being your unlimited piggybank for your defense.

1325
01:12:28.600 --> 01:12:30.920
<v Speaker 5>And while you're providing all of these neat services for

1326
01:12:31.039 --> 01:12:34.279
<v Speaker 5>your people. We are expected to end your crappy ass

1327
01:12:34.359 --> 01:12:37.319
<v Speaker 5>countries if you get into any kind of trouble because you.

1328
01:12:37.439 --> 01:12:39.600
<v Speaker 6>Don't spend what you have committed.

1329
01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:43.159
<v Speaker 5>I don't even know how many years ago they were

1330
01:12:43.199 --> 01:12:46.199
<v Speaker 5>not spending even two percent of GDP on their defense.

1331
01:12:46.479 --> 01:12:48.279
<v Speaker 5>They were relying on us to take care of them.

1332
01:12:48.920 --> 01:12:51.640
<v Speaker 5>And when Trump threw the gauntlet, guess what happened. Guess

1333
01:12:51.800 --> 01:12:55.439
<v Speaker 5>who's spending more on their own defense NATO members.

1334
01:12:56.479 --> 01:12:56.720
<v Speaker 2>Huh.

1335
01:12:57.359 --> 01:12:58.600
<v Speaker 6>Imagine that if.

1336
01:12:58.560 --> 01:13:02.319
<v Speaker 5>Disrespecting someone is asking them to pay a bill they've

1337
01:13:02.399 --> 01:13:05.119
<v Speaker 5>promised to pay, then disrespect away.

1338
01:13:06.000 --> 01:13:07.600
<v Speaker 6>Just disrespect away.

1339
01:13:09.279 --> 01:13:13.920
<v Speaker 5>And as for being Putin's friend, he certainly wasn't comfortable

1340
01:13:14.359 --> 01:13:17.359
<v Speaker 5>rolling into Ukraine while Trump was president. As a matter

1341
01:13:17.399 --> 01:13:21.000
<v Speaker 5>of fact, let's think we'll just go back and remember together.

1342
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:24.279
<v Speaker 5>Since we're all going back in time to remember past performance,

1343
01:13:24.600 --> 01:13:27.239
<v Speaker 5>let's talk about all of the wars that broke out

1344
01:13:27.279 --> 01:13:35.039
<v Speaker 5>with our allies connected to them during the Trump administration. Nope,

1345
01:13:35.079 --> 01:13:41.239
<v Speaker 5>there aren't any, are not Nope, Nope they're not there.

1346
01:13:42.760 --> 01:13:45.159
<v Speaker 5>So yeah, Trump, You guys know how I feel about him.

1347
01:13:45.560 --> 01:13:47.720
<v Speaker 5>It pains me sometimes to have to defend him. But

1348
01:13:47.920 --> 01:13:51.479
<v Speaker 5>policy wise, there's no comparison, absolutely not. I got a

1349
01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:53.960
<v Speaker 5>text message from a friend of mine this morning said, Mandy,

1350
01:13:53.960 --> 01:13:57.239
<v Speaker 5>I'm beginning to think that the Republicans are trying to

1351
01:13:57.359 --> 01:14:00.800
<v Speaker 5>lose this election because they know that on the trajectory

1352
01:14:00.880 --> 01:14:03.199
<v Speaker 5>we're going with our debt, we are going to spend

1353
01:14:03.239 --> 01:14:05.880
<v Speaker 5>ourselves into insolvency, which will lead us to a very

1354
01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:10.439
<v Speaker 5>dark place in the United States of America. That's how,

1355
01:14:10.760 --> 01:14:12.960
<v Speaker 5>by the way, that's how empires go out right, I mean,

1356
01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:15.079
<v Speaker 5>they fall and then very dark times.

1357
01:14:15.159 --> 01:14:17.039
<v Speaker 6>The dark ages came after the fall of the Roman

1358
01:14:17.039 --> 01:14:17.760
<v Speaker 6>Empire kind of thing.

1359
01:14:18.279 --> 01:14:20.439
<v Speaker 5>And I was like, I wish I could say I

1360
01:14:20.479 --> 01:14:23.760
<v Speaker 5>thought you were wrong, because policy wise, what we do

1361
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:27.079
<v Speaker 5>know about Kamala Harris was so bad when she rolled

1362
01:14:27.079 --> 01:14:30.000
<v Speaker 5>it out last Friday night that the media immediately stopped

1363
01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:30.479
<v Speaker 5>talking about it.

1364
01:14:30.560 --> 01:14:31.479
<v Speaker 6>Do you know how many.

1365
01:14:31.560 --> 01:14:35.279
<v Speaker 5>Times I heard someone anyone at the DNC talking about

1366
01:14:35.319 --> 01:14:39.279
<v Speaker 5>her ridiculous ideas to give people twenty five thousand dollars

1367
01:14:39.359 --> 01:14:42.479
<v Speaker 5>for their first time only certain home buyers, by the way, certain,

1368
01:14:43.239 --> 01:14:45.880
<v Speaker 5>not all. Only certain home buyers would get twenty five

1369
01:14:45.920 --> 01:14:49.159
<v Speaker 5>thousand dollars to buy a home in a housing market

1370
01:14:49.479 --> 01:14:53.039
<v Speaker 5>that is already distorted because of the already high levels

1371
01:14:53.079 --> 01:14:56.359
<v Speaker 5>of demand and low levels of supply. She is an

1372
01:14:56.439 --> 01:15:00.880
<v Speaker 5>economic idiot, and Trump maybe a lot of things. And

1373
01:15:01.000 --> 01:15:02.800
<v Speaker 5>he's a big spender too. I want to be clear

1374
01:15:02.840 --> 01:15:05.000
<v Speaker 5>about that. We've got to get somebody serious about debt.

1375
01:15:05.560 --> 01:15:08.039
<v Speaker 5>But all she's talking about is more giveaways, more spending.

1376
01:15:08.319 --> 01:15:10.800
<v Speaker 6>Let us do this for you. We're gonna take care

1377
01:15:10.880 --> 01:15:12.479
<v Speaker 6>of you. I'll be your mam la.

1378
01:15:14.079 --> 01:15:17.720
<v Speaker 5>And yeah, I'll take Trump all day long over all

1379
01:15:17.800 --> 01:15:21.239
<v Speaker 5>of that, even with all of his obvious and glaring flaws,

1380
01:15:22.640 --> 01:15:25.640
<v Speaker 5>I will one hundred percent take those policies all day long.

1381
01:15:27.319 --> 01:15:28.279
<v Speaker 6>I can't wait.

1382
01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:32.960
<v Speaker 5>Until every single state codifies abortion into their constitution so

1383
01:15:33.039 --> 01:15:35.439
<v Speaker 5>we can stop talking about it. And I truly believe

1384
01:15:35.479 --> 01:15:38.640
<v Speaker 5>that that is going to happen, if not by next year,

1385
01:15:38.880 --> 01:15:43.199
<v Speaker 5>surely after that, as politicians start losing races, as women

1386
01:15:43.279 --> 01:15:47.600
<v Speaker 5>start saying, wait a minute, we want options, and like

1387
01:15:47.680 --> 01:15:51.319
<v Speaker 5>it or not, this is a pro choice country we

1388
01:15:51.439 --> 01:15:56.039
<v Speaker 5>live in absolutely one hundred percent. So yeah, anyway, I

1389
01:15:56.119 --> 01:15:58.000
<v Speaker 5>got to take a quick time out, be right back.

1390
01:15:58.159 --> 01:16:00.279
<v Speaker 5>You can text me your questions about the DNA see

1391
01:16:00.560 --> 01:16:01.479
<v Speaker 5>two five six.

1392
01:16:01.439 --> 01:16:04.279
<v Speaker 6>Six nine zero. We will get those when we get back.

1393
01:16:04.439 --> 01:16:07.520
<v Speaker 5>Keep it on Kowa coming up at two thirty, Representative

1394
01:16:07.560 --> 01:16:10.359
<v Speaker 5>Lisa Frizzell is joining us. Not only did she used

1395
01:16:10.359 --> 01:16:14.159
<v Speaker 5>to be Douglas County's county assessor, giving her special insight

1396
01:16:14.199 --> 01:16:16.239
<v Speaker 5>into property taxes, she's going to give us a preview

1397
01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:19.760
<v Speaker 5>of the upcoming special session where the legislature is going

1398
01:16:19.840 --> 01:16:23.880
<v Speaker 5>to try and prevent us the voters from slapping some

1399
01:16:24.079 --> 01:16:28.000
<v Speaker 5>significant handcuffs on them. So we'll get the latest from

1400
01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:30.560
<v Speaker 5>her about that in just a few minutes. I want

1401
01:16:30.600 --> 01:16:33.439
<v Speaker 5>to answer some questions about the DNC. It has asked

1402
01:16:33.479 --> 01:16:36.760
<v Speaker 5>me anything about the DNC. Now's your chance. We're not

1403
01:16:36.840 --> 01:16:39.600
<v Speaker 5>going to talk about it anymore after today because.

1404
01:16:39.319 --> 01:16:44.720
<v Speaker 6>I'm done this one. Was the DNC really a clown

1405
01:16:44.760 --> 01:16:47.000
<v Speaker 6>show as appeared on TV? It really wasn't.

1406
01:16:47.840 --> 01:16:49.760
<v Speaker 5>And you know who was missing a red I thought

1407
01:16:49.760 --> 01:16:52.119
<v Speaker 5>about this, yes, last night as we were flying home.

1408
01:16:52.399 --> 01:16:54.399
<v Speaker 5>Do you know what we didn't see at the DNC

1409
01:16:55.199 --> 01:17:00.600
<v Speaker 5>drag queens? We didn't see, Yeah, we didn't see any queens.

1410
01:17:00.640 --> 01:17:03.479
<v Speaker 5>We didn't see any over the top. We didn't see

1411
01:17:03.640 --> 01:17:06.039
<v Speaker 5>like a parade of trans people. I'm sure there was

1412
01:17:06.079 --> 01:17:09.520
<v Speaker 5>trans people there. We didn't see the most extreme parts

1413
01:17:09.840 --> 01:17:11.880
<v Speaker 5>of the Democratic Party.

1414
01:17:11.880 --> 01:17:13.279
<v Speaker 6>And I thought that that was by design.

1415
01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:18.000
<v Speaker 5>The DNC was all designed to tell you that the

1416
01:17:18.079 --> 01:17:21.520
<v Speaker 5>DNC is just like us, like like democrats.

1417
01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:26.039
<v Speaker 6>We're just the same. We're just like you. We love freedom.

1418
01:17:26.520 --> 01:17:29.640
<v Speaker 6>Look at us wave a flag, look at us. We

1419
01:17:29.760 --> 01:17:33.279
<v Speaker 6>wag flags too, just like you. And I think it.

1420
01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:36.079
<v Speaker 6>Actually they did a really good job with that, a

1421
01:17:36.199 --> 01:17:39.880
<v Speaker 6>really good job with that. So here we go. Let

1422
01:17:39.960 --> 01:17:41.319
<v Speaker 6>me rip through some of these questions.

1423
01:17:41.359 --> 01:17:43.840
<v Speaker 5>Mandy, is it true that Trump is going to make

1424
01:17:44.000 --> 01:17:47.680
<v Speaker 5>transgender illegal or take away transgendered rights?

1425
01:17:47.760 --> 01:17:49.960
<v Speaker 6>So it is just for trans kids?

1426
01:17:50.399 --> 01:17:57.600
<v Speaker 5>Okay, No, no, we're not making someone illegal because they're transgender.

1427
01:17:58.279 --> 01:18:01.159
<v Speaker 5>What is being discussed right now, and not just by

1428
01:18:01.159 --> 01:18:07.039
<v Speaker 5>the Trump campaign, is limiting access to medical gender affirming

1429
01:18:07.119 --> 01:18:12.560
<v Speaker 5>care for children because the science is not there, the

1430
01:18:12.680 --> 01:18:15.640
<v Speaker 5>science behind transitioning.

1431
01:18:15.079 --> 01:18:17.840
<v Speaker 6>A young child without their.

1432
01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:24.960
<v Speaker 5>Ability to understand that you are making them sterile, possibly

1433
01:18:25.079 --> 01:18:30.720
<v Speaker 5>unable to experience sexual joy, and making them a permanent

1434
01:18:30.800 --> 01:18:31.560
<v Speaker 5>medical patient.

1435
01:18:31.920 --> 01:18:34.720
<v Speaker 6>You can't do that to children. So I don't know

1436
01:18:34.760 --> 01:18:35.640
<v Speaker 6>what we're looking at.

1437
01:18:35.720 --> 01:18:39.880
<v Speaker 5>I'm hoping the medical you know, people actually decide that

1438
01:18:40.039 --> 01:18:42.399
<v Speaker 5>the evidence is not there, because now after the cast

1439
01:18:42.439 --> 01:18:45.319
<v Speaker 5>review in the UK, we do know that the evidence

1440
01:18:45.439 --> 01:18:45.880
<v Speaker 5>is not there.

1441
01:18:46.600 --> 01:18:49.199
<v Speaker 6>And we're hurting people. We're hurting children.

1442
01:18:49.880 --> 01:18:53.159
<v Speaker 5>And if you just look, if you google de transitioners,

1443
01:18:53.680 --> 01:18:55.800
<v Speaker 5>you would be shocked at how many of these people

1444
01:18:56.159 --> 01:18:59.600
<v Speaker 5>physically look exactly like women. You know, you look at them,

1445
01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:03.640
<v Speaker 5>they look exactly like women. But they're heartbreaking stories of

1446
01:19:03.800 --> 01:19:06.600
<v Speaker 5>what they've gone through that they now live with constant pain,

1447
01:19:07.119 --> 01:19:11.359
<v Speaker 5>trying to be turned into cosmetically a woman. They're horrifying,

1448
01:19:11.880 --> 01:19:15.920
<v Speaker 5>absolutely horrifying, and they're there. So no, they're not making

1449
01:19:16.079 --> 01:19:22.319
<v Speaker 5>transgender people illegal. We're just looking at curtailing the mutilation

1450
01:19:22.439 --> 01:19:25.199
<v Speaker 5>of children before they're old enough to make that choice

1451
01:19:25.199 --> 01:19:25.760
<v Speaker 5>for themselves.

1452
01:19:26.000 --> 01:19:28.680
<v Speaker 6>According to Kamala, it would seem Trump has been in charge.

1453
01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:29.800
<v Speaker 6>Time for a change.

1454
01:19:30.000 --> 01:19:35.479
<v Speaker 5>No, it's a new way forward, a new way, new way,

1455
01:19:36.359 --> 01:19:39.399
<v Speaker 5>even though she's actually part of the administration that's been

1456
01:19:39.439 --> 01:19:44.439
<v Speaker 5>running things for four years, a new way forward. Kamala

1457
01:19:44.520 --> 01:19:46.840
<v Speaker 5>is getting whiter and whiter every day. See her makeup.

1458
01:19:47.119 --> 01:19:48.520
<v Speaker 6>I don't think that's accurate.

1459
01:19:48.680 --> 01:19:52.079
<v Speaker 5>I think she still looks like a woman of Southeastern

1460
01:19:52.319 --> 01:19:56.000
<v Speaker 5>and Jamaican descent. I thought she looked great, but I

1461
01:19:56.079 --> 01:19:59.960
<v Speaker 5>got to tell you, I realize that stylists are telling

1462
01:20:00.399 --> 01:20:04.199
<v Speaker 5>power suits like power suit, power suit but my god,

1463
01:20:05.199 --> 01:20:08.399
<v Speaker 5>her clothing is boring, and I wish that they would

1464
01:20:09.000 --> 01:20:11.880
<v Speaker 5>do something about that, at least a little bit. Hang on,

1465
01:20:11.960 --> 01:20:14.199
<v Speaker 5>let me turn this so it only updates every sixty seconds,

1466
01:20:14.239 --> 01:20:17.399
<v Speaker 5>so I can get these questions in before they roll through.

1467
01:20:17.560 --> 01:20:18.159
<v Speaker 6>Let me do this.

1468
01:20:18.479 --> 01:20:25.039
<v Speaker 5>Let me see here, Mandy, aren't we the current Aren't

1469
01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:27.880
<v Speaker 5>we the largest energy producer in the world. Yes, we are,

1470
01:20:29.239 --> 01:20:31.119
<v Speaker 5>but we have a whole bunch more energy that we

1471
01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:33.520
<v Speaker 5>could tap into if you want to see a shift

1472
01:20:34.039 --> 01:20:40.479
<v Speaker 5>in geopolitical strength. If we absolutely crank up the spickets

1473
01:20:40.720 --> 01:20:44.039
<v Speaker 5>on oil and gas, we could drive down the cost

1474
01:20:44.119 --> 01:20:46.279
<v Speaker 5>of energy, which is not ideal for energy companies, I

1475
01:20:46.359 --> 01:20:48.560
<v Speaker 5>get it, But we could drive down the cost of

1476
01:20:48.720 --> 01:20:51.239
<v Speaker 5>energy to a point that Russia would.

1477
01:20:50.960 --> 01:20:53.920
<v Speaker 6>Be severely, severely.

1478
01:20:53.479 --> 01:20:56.520
<v Speaker 5>Hurt because the vast majority of their economic output comes.

1479
01:20:56.640 --> 01:20:57.560
<v Speaker 6>From the sale of oil.

1480
01:20:58.840 --> 01:21:03.279
<v Speaker 5>We could uh newter some of the most I don't know,

1481
01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:08.960
<v Speaker 5>irritating Middle Eastern countries that currently have a ton of

1482
01:21:09.000 --> 01:21:10.479
<v Speaker 5>money because of their oil revenues.

1483
01:21:11.640 --> 01:21:14.560
<v Speaker 6>So uh yeah, there you go. Mandy.

1484
01:21:16.159 --> 01:21:17.560
<v Speaker 5>Just saw a dude that went all in on the

1485
01:21:17.600 --> 01:21:19.479
<v Speaker 5>broccoli cut died it green and everything.

1486
01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:23.239
<v Speaker 6>Oh no, you guys, stop it, stop it, stop it.

1487
01:21:23.319 --> 01:21:27.119
<v Speaker 6>Stop it. Stop It look to me that instead of

1488
01:21:27.119 --> 01:21:28.079
<v Speaker 6>abortion pills.

1489
01:21:27.880 --> 01:21:31.159
<v Speaker 5>And vasectomy freebies, I should have handed out ozempic. Never

1490
01:21:31.239 --> 01:21:33.119
<v Speaker 5>seen so much beef in all my life. I am

1491
01:21:33.159 --> 01:21:34.760
<v Speaker 5>going to disagree with that. And a Rod, I want

1492
01:21:34.800 --> 01:21:37.399
<v Speaker 5>your opinion. I there, of course there was heavy people, right,

1493
01:21:37.479 --> 01:21:40.960
<v Speaker 5>there's heavy people everywhere. I thought that the crowd looked

1494
01:21:41.840 --> 01:21:43.479
<v Speaker 5>most for the most part, pretty fit.

1495
01:21:44.159 --> 01:21:44.279
<v Speaker 3>You know.

1496
01:21:44.359 --> 01:21:46.760
<v Speaker 6>It wasn't like a bunch of you know, it wasn't

1497
01:21:46.760 --> 01:21:47.880
<v Speaker 6>a bunch of choky monkeys.

1498
01:21:47.880 --> 01:21:50.079
<v Speaker 5>There were some heavy people there, but overall I thought

1499
01:21:50.119 --> 01:21:53.680
<v Speaker 5>the crowd was an attractive crowd, although I will say

1500
01:21:53.680 --> 01:21:56.359
<v Speaker 5>the R and C was more attractive people traditionally like

1501
01:21:56.479 --> 01:22:01.039
<v Speaker 5>in a traditionally attractive sense. I didn't know that, But

1502
01:22:01.199 --> 01:22:04.000
<v Speaker 5>I don't think there was a bunch of people who

1503
01:22:04.079 --> 01:22:06.159
<v Speaker 5>should have been on a zembic. Maybe you saw it

1504
01:22:06.279 --> 01:22:06.720
<v Speaker 5>on TV.

1505
01:22:07.600 --> 01:22:09.880
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. Mandy and a Rod, two questions for you.

1506
01:22:10.760 --> 01:22:14.159
<v Speaker 5>Were you embarrassed as color Ridden's After Polis's speech, I

1507
01:22:14.319 --> 01:22:18.520
<v Speaker 5>was angry. I was infuriated by his speech because he

1508
01:22:18.640 --> 01:22:23.560
<v Speaker 5>knew he was lying. I knew he was lying, but

1509
01:22:23.680 --> 01:22:25.920
<v Speaker 5>he still did it every way anyway, just making it sure,

1510
01:22:26.079 --> 01:22:29.800
<v Speaker 5>you know, never doubt that Jared Poulis can jump right

1511
01:22:29.840 --> 01:22:33.159
<v Speaker 5>into the political pool and play second.

1512
01:22:32.960 --> 01:22:34.039
<v Speaker 6>Playing thorns and roses.

1513
01:22:34.119 --> 01:22:36.279
<v Speaker 5>Can you point out the number one positive and the

1514
01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:39.640
<v Speaker 5>number one negative from your experience at the DNC thanks

1515
01:22:40.079 --> 01:22:42.479
<v Speaker 5>one by Wednesday night, listening to some of the speeches

1516
01:22:42.640 --> 01:22:45.920
<v Speaker 5>was killing me, killing me the rose.

1517
01:22:46.600 --> 01:22:47.880
<v Speaker 6>I actually met some really.

1518
01:22:47.800 --> 01:22:52.199
<v Speaker 5>Nice people, very nice rank and file, nice people, people

1519
01:22:52.520 --> 01:22:54.600
<v Speaker 5>in the media, just random people.

1520
01:22:55.159 --> 01:22:57.560
<v Speaker 6>The people there were very nice. We'll be right back.

1521
01:22:57.680 --> 01:23:00.159
<v Speaker 5>There is going to be a lot of stuff at

1522
01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:03.039
<v Speaker 5>the Capitol and they're going to be trying to sort

1523
01:23:03.159 --> 01:23:07.760
<v Speaker 5>out a property tax compromise that would lead to Michael

1524
01:23:08.239 --> 01:23:11.439
<v Speaker 5>Fields from Advance Colorado. We talked to Christy Burton Brown

1525
01:23:11.920 --> 01:23:15.079
<v Speaker 5>about this last week about what Advance because she's with

1526
01:23:15.159 --> 01:23:20.640
<v Speaker 5>Advance as well, and they seem to feel confident that

1527
01:23:20.840 --> 01:23:23.000
<v Speaker 5>they are going to be able to strike a deal

1528
01:23:23.520 --> 01:23:25.199
<v Speaker 5>that would inspire them.

1529
01:23:25.159 --> 01:23:27.279
<v Speaker 6>To pull these ballot measures off the ballot.

1530
01:23:27.359 --> 01:23:30.039
<v Speaker 5>And joining me now is a member of the House,

1531
01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:33.439
<v Speaker 5>Colorado House who also has a lot of knowledge about

1532
01:23:33.439 --> 01:23:36.399
<v Speaker 5>this particular issue because she was the former county assessor

1533
01:23:36.439 --> 01:23:37.279
<v Speaker 5>for Douglas County.

1534
01:23:37.560 --> 01:23:40.880
<v Speaker 6>Lisa Frazzelle. Welcome to the show, and let's start there.

1535
01:23:41.079 --> 01:23:43.840
<v Speaker 5>Let's start with your experience as a counting assessor, because

1536
01:23:44.640 --> 01:23:48.039
<v Speaker 5>your county of which I am a part, got crushed

1537
01:23:48.359 --> 01:23:49.920
<v Speaker 5>by these property tax increases.

1538
01:23:50.039 --> 01:23:53.880
<v Speaker 6>Mine went up forty percent four d percent.

1539
01:23:55.079 --> 01:23:58.720
<v Speaker 5>So what do you bring as an assessor to this

1540
01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:00.960
<v Speaker 5>conversation that made you think is lacking?

1541
01:24:02.640 --> 01:24:05.079
<v Speaker 15>Well, I mean able and Mandy, thanks so much for

1542
01:24:05.159 --> 01:24:07.279
<v Speaker 15>having me on. It's great to talk to you today.

1543
01:24:08.239 --> 01:24:11.000
<v Speaker 14>You know, I bring a lot of kind of the

1544
01:24:11.159 --> 01:24:15.600
<v Speaker 14>nuts and bolts detail understanding of how this process works,

1545
01:24:15.760 --> 01:24:21.079
<v Speaker 14>this property tax property valuation process works. And so for example,

1546
01:24:21.119 --> 01:24:26.079
<v Speaker 14>when we're talking about changing the rates the assessment rates

1547
01:24:26.119 --> 01:24:30.399
<v Speaker 14>for non residential property, for some reason, I just think

1548
01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:33.720
<v Speaker 14>this is really unfortunate. The draft bill, and actually the

1549
01:24:33.800 --> 01:24:40.199
<v Speaker 14>bill is, it's going to be introduced on Monday, bifurcates.

1550
01:24:40.720 --> 01:24:42.479
<v Speaker 15>Non residential property by class.

1551
01:24:42.680 --> 01:24:47.279
<v Speaker 14>So it gives one assessment rate for commercial property, another

1552
01:24:47.399 --> 01:24:50.840
<v Speaker 14>assessment rate for industrial property, another assessment rate.

1553
01:24:51.079 --> 01:24:53.840
<v Speaker 15>For vacant land. And that is extremely.

1554
01:24:53.439 --> 01:24:58.640
<v Speaker 14>Confusing to people and especially those property owners, and it's

1555
01:24:58.920 --> 01:25:02.199
<v Speaker 14>candidly just ridiculous. So I'm hoping too, I'm going to

1556
01:25:02.199 --> 01:25:06.199
<v Speaker 14>be running an amendment to fix that. Hopefully the bill

1557
01:25:06.279 --> 01:25:08.880
<v Speaker 14>sponsors will do that. Themselves that I don't actually think

1558
01:25:08.960 --> 01:25:09.800
<v Speaker 14>that they're planning.

1559
01:25:09.560 --> 01:25:10.000
<v Speaker 7>On doing that.

1560
01:25:10.199 --> 01:25:12.199
<v Speaker 5>Now, you are a member of the Republican Party. You

1561
01:25:12.279 --> 01:25:15.079
<v Speaker 5>are hopelessly outnumbered in the House of Representatives right now.

1562
01:25:15.720 --> 01:25:19.239
<v Speaker 5>But have you been privy to any of the conversations

1563
01:25:19.319 --> 01:25:22.760
<v Speaker 5>that are happening right now in advance of the special session?

1564
01:25:23.039 --> 01:25:24.600
<v Speaker 6>I have a story on the blog today.

1565
01:25:24.399 --> 01:25:27.680
<v Speaker 5>That apparently the Democratic Caucus has been meeting quite often

1566
01:25:27.800 --> 01:25:32.640
<v Speaker 5>in private, which I find very, very very concerning because

1567
01:25:33.119 --> 01:25:36.680
<v Speaker 5>because of their majorities, there's a chance that anything that

1568
01:25:36.760 --> 01:25:39.199
<v Speaker 5>comes out of those private meetings could end up being

1569
01:25:39.680 --> 01:25:40.439
<v Speaker 5>the legislation.

1570
01:25:41.000 --> 01:25:43.039
<v Speaker 6>Have you been privy to any of those conversations. Is

1571
01:25:43.079 --> 01:25:43.880
<v Speaker 6>anybody talking to you.

1572
01:25:43.920 --> 01:25:46.600
<v Speaker 5>From the Democratic Party and getting your input?

1573
01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:47.680
<v Speaker 4>No?

1574
01:25:48.960 --> 01:25:50.600
<v Speaker 6>Oh, well, okay, then I thought.

1575
01:25:50.479 --> 01:25:52.560
<v Speaker 5>There's going to be more of that answer, like, yes,

1576
01:25:52.720 --> 01:25:55.960
<v Speaker 5>but it's early in the you know, And so do

1577
01:25:56.079 --> 01:25:58.000
<v Speaker 5>you think they're going to be able to get this

1578
01:25:58.159 --> 01:26:03.039
<v Speaker 5>compromise that I'm not even sure who negotiated this compromise

1579
01:26:03.119 --> 01:26:03.840
<v Speaker 5>in the first place.

1580
01:26:04.119 --> 01:26:05.000
<v Speaker 6>I'm a little clear.

1581
01:26:05.439 --> 01:26:08.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm not clear on the history of where this sort

1582
01:26:08.680 --> 01:26:11.439
<v Speaker 5>of compromise that we're taking to the special session came from.

1583
01:26:12.560 --> 01:26:15.439
<v Speaker 14>Yeah, so I think that's a great question, and it's

1584
01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:18.680
<v Speaker 14>also one that I'm not completely clear on either. And

1585
01:26:18.720 --> 01:26:21.479
<v Speaker 14>I apologize for my abrupt answer before, but literally no,

1586
01:26:21.760 --> 01:26:24.439
<v Speaker 14>I have not done at the table in this conversation.

1587
01:26:24.680 --> 01:26:27.760
<v Speaker 14>I was very much part of the conversation with two

1588
01:26:27.840 --> 01:26:31.600
<v Speaker 14>thirty three, which passed on the last day of session.

1589
01:26:32.159 --> 01:26:34.079
<v Speaker 14>Put my name on that bill because I believe that

1590
01:26:34.159 --> 01:26:36.720
<v Speaker 14>we were working to create a really solid framework. I

1591
01:26:36.800 --> 01:26:40.399
<v Speaker 14>also didn't believe that it went far enough, but we negotiated.

1592
01:26:41.119 --> 01:26:44.720
<v Speaker 14>Barbara Kirkmeer and Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer and I negotiated with

1593
01:26:44.800 --> 01:26:49.479
<v Speaker 14>the Democrats really strenuously, and we were able to get

1594
01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:55.119
<v Speaker 14>some great concessions for our citizens. It is really important

1595
01:26:55.159 --> 01:26:58.960
<v Speaker 14>to understand that we are in the super minority in

1596
01:26:59.039 --> 01:27:02.079
<v Speaker 14>the House and almost a super minority in the Senate

1597
01:27:02.520 --> 01:27:06.119
<v Speaker 14>with a Democrat governor, and so the change that we're

1598
01:27:06.319 --> 01:27:10.119
<v Speaker 14>actually able to effect is not great. But we were

1599
01:27:10.199 --> 01:27:12.359
<v Speaker 14>able to leverage.

1600
01:27:12.119 --> 01:27:16.560
<v Speaker 15>Everything that we could, and I was, you know, it

1601
01:27:16.600 --> 01:27:18.720
<v Speaker 15>didn't go far enough that it was better than what we.

1602
01:27:18.800 --> 01:27:23.399
<v Speaker 14>Had, which was raised rising property taxes. Again, the thing

1603
01:27:23.479 --> 01:27:27.600
<v Speaker 14>that's really and this is really important for your listeners

1604
01:27:27.680 --> 01:27:32.560
<v Speaker 14>to understand, Nandy, is that Gallagher was repealed in twenty twenty.

1605
01:27:32.800 --> 01:27:36.680
<v Speaker 14>That was a bill that the Democrats led, a referendum

1606
01:27:36.800 --> 01:27:40.279
<v Speaker 14>coming out of the legislature that the Democrats led. They

1607
01:27:40.399 --> 01:27:42.960
<v Speaker 14>promised that they were going to work to replace it.

1608
01:27:43.439 --> 01:27:46.600
<v Speaker 14>They have had four years to replace it and they

1609
01:27:46.680 --> 01:27:49.359
<v Speaker 14>have not. They have created a band and they created

1610
01:27:49.359 --> 01:27:52.199
<v Speaker 14>a band aid in twenty twenty one, they created another

1611
01:27:52.279 --> 01:27:54.800
<v Speaker 14>band aid in twenty twenty two, and in twenty twenty

1612
01:27:54.840 --> 01:27:59.000
<v Speaker 14>three we saw the disaster that was Proposition Hh. Yeah,

1613
01:28:00.239 --> 01:28:03.479
<v Speaker 14>here we are, and so I am very frustrated listening

1614
01:28:03.560 --> 01:28:08.920
<v Speaker 14>to the Democrats today and all last week talk about

1615
01:28:09.079 --> 01:28:13.039
<v Speaker 14>how they were being forced to negotiate with Michael Fields

1616
01:28:13.079 --> 01:28:14.239
<v Speaker 14>and Colorado Concern.

1617
01:28:14.640 --> 01:28:15.319
<v Speaker 9>Here's the thing.

1618
01:28:15.800 --> 01:28:19.159
<v Speaker 15>If Michael Fields and Colorado Concern, who have been at.

1619
01:28:19.079 --> 01:28:22.680
<v Speaker 14>The table running initiatives in twenty twenty one to force

1620
01:28:22.760 --> 01:28:25.520
<v Speaker 14>the Democrats to come to the table and Laura assessinaries

1621
01:28:25.720 --> 01:28:29.920
<v Speaker 14>in twenty twenty two, they ran initiatives before the title

1622
01:28:30.000 --> 01:28:33.319
<v Speaker 14>Board to get the Democrats to come to the table

1623
01:28:33.399 --> 01:28:36.479
<v Speaker 14>at the end of session and again provide property tax relief.

1624
01:28:36.960 --> 01:28:40.279
<v Speaker 14>They did it last year and we got Proposition ahh.

1625
01:28:40.840 --> 01:28:43.000
<v Speaker 15>They had to do it again. The only reason why

1626
01:28:43.079 --> 01:28:44.840
<v Speaker 15>we have had any property.

1627
01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:48.960
<v Speaker 14>Tax relief from between today and twenty twenty is because

1628
01:28:49.000 --> 01:28:51.279
<v Speaker 14>of Colorado concern and Michael Fields.

1629
01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:52.560
<v Speaker 15>And you know what we should be thinking for.

1630
01:28:52.840 --> 01:28:57.000
<v Speaker 5>I agree, and I find it a little challenging to

1631
01:28:57.199 --> 01:28:59.800
<v Speaker 5>hear from people when Michael says, look, if they pass

1632
01:29:00.479 --> 01:29:03.199
<v Speaker 5>this bill, as we've talked about it, then we're going

1633
01:29:03.279 --> 01:29:04.560
<v Speaker 5>to pull these ballot initiatives.

1634
01:29:04.600 --> 01:29:07.920
<v Speaker 6>And a lot of people don't understand that. You know,

1635
01:29:07.960 --> 01:29:09.199
<v Speaker 6>a lot of people are saying, well, we want to

1636
01:29:09.239 --> 01:29:11.159
<v Speaker 6>vote on it, we want to vote on it. It

1637
01:29:11.319 --> 01:29:15.000
<v Speaker 6>is not a sure thing. It is not a done deal.

1638
01:29:15.399 --> 01:29:16.920
<v Speaker 6>It costs a ton of money.

1639
01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:19.439
<v Speaker 5>And if you don't think that, you are going to

1640
01:29:19.479 --> 01:29:23.399
<v Speaker 5>be swamped with millions and millions of dollars in advertising

1641
01:29:23.640 --> 01:29:26.359
<v Speaker 5>against these initiatives. They're going to tell you that if

1642
01:29:26.399 --> 01:29:28.880
<v Speaker 5>you pass these, if you vote for this, we're going

1643
01:29:28.920 --> 01:29:30.960
<v Speaker 5>to have to fire every teacher and every police officer

1644
01:29:31.000 --> 01:29:33.399
<v Speaker 5>in our town. That is exactly what is going to happen.

1645
01:29:33.720 --> 01:29:35.560
<v Speaker 5>So it is not a done deal. It is not

1646
01:29:35.720 --> 01:29:37.840
<v Speaker 5>a sure thing. And if we can get a lot

1647
01:29:38.119 --> 01:29:41.560
<v Speaker 5>of what they're proposing, I'll take it one hundred percent.

1648
01:29:41.680 --> 01:29:43.479
<v Speaker 6>I will take it. So, Lisa, what would you like

1649
01:29:43.560 --> 01:29:45.079
<v Speaker 6>to see come out of this special session.

1650
01:29:46.239 --> 01:29:49.600
<v Speaker 14>I want Actually, what the governor is asking for is

1651
01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:52.239
<v Speaker 14>property tax relief for the citizens of Colorado.

1652
01:29:52.399 --> 01:29:56.640
<v Speaker 15>We need to improve on what we started with two

1653
01:29:56.760 --> 01:30:02.760
<v Speaker 15>thirty three. We need to not have a lot of theatrics.

1654
01:30:02.880 --> 01:30:06.520
<v Speaker 14>We need to not have a lot of statement vanity bills,

1655
01:30:06.800 --> 01:30:11.439
<v Speaker 14>which is happening. We need to get to work, do

1656
01:30:11.720 --> 01:30:16.079
<v Speaker 14>this and get out. People don't understand. These special sessions

1657
01:30:16.119 --> 01:30:21.000
<v Speaker 14>are expensive. They're very expensive, and so you know, we've

1658
01:30:21.079 --> 01:30:22.680
<v Speaker 14>wasted enough taxpayer dollars.

1659
01:30:22.760 --> 01:30:23.239
<v Speaker 15>Let's move on.

1660
01:30:23.680 --> 01:30:27.000
<v Speaker 5>So are people filing bills unrelated to this in the

1661
01:30:27.039 --> 01:30:30.760
<v Speaker 5>special session or are they filing bills they're somehow what

1662
01:30:31.000 --> 01:30:32.800
<v Speaker 5>their version of what they'd like to have happened.

1663
01:30:33.640 --> 01:30:41.479
<v Speaker 14>Both we're seeing bills that are unrelated to the negotiated bill.

1664
01:30:42.600 --> 01:30:45.720
<v Speaker 14>There are going to be anywhere from ten to twenty

1665
01:30:45.760 --> 01:30:50.359
<v Speaker 14>bill additional bills that are introduced on Monday in both

1666
01:30:50.399 --> 01:30:53.479
<v Speaker 14>the House and the Senate. One of the ones that

1667
01:30:53.640 --> 01:30:57.960
<v Speaker 14>I find particularly frustrating is coming out of two very

1668
01:30:58.079 --> 01:31:02.359
<v Speaker 14>extreme Democrats. And what it does is it says that

1669
01:31:02.640 --> 01:31:06.800
<v Speaker 14>the framework from two thirty three and this negotiated bill

1670
01:31:07.199 --> 01:31:09.760
<v Speaker 14>only applies to primary residences.

1671
01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:12.720
<v Speaker 15>And I think that's fascinating.

1672
01:31:13.479 --> 01:31:17.079
<v Speaker 14>So it only applies to the primary primary residences and

1673
01:31:17.239 --> 01:31:19.039
<v Speaker 14>everybody else, you know, has to.

1674
01:31:21.800 --> 01:31:22.239
<v Speaker 9>Pay more.

1675
01:31:22.399 --> 01:31:23.199
<v Speaker 13>Well, what.

1676
01:31:24.840 --> 01:31:29.159
<v Speaker 14>These are the people who who are dumputting down their

1677
01:31:29.279 --> 01:31:31.119
<v Speaker 14>arms about affordable housing all the time.

1678
01:31:31.199 --> 01:31:33.920
<v Speaker 15>And what I apparently they didn't understand is this particular

1679
01:31:34.039 --> 01:31:37.199
<v Speaker 15>bill will in and of itself raise rents.

1680
01:31:38.039 --> 01:31:40.439
<v Speaker 5>Yeah oh yeah, yeah yeah, And that sounds to me

1681
01:31:40.560 --> 01:31:44.439
<v Speaker 5>like they're going after people with short term rental properties also.

1682
01:31:44.680 --> 01:31:49.199
<v Speaker 5>Would they be scooped up in this higher tax rate? Wow,

1683
01:31:49.560 --> 01:31:53.359
<v Speaker 5>that's really big. I know that the perception, and there's

1684
01:31:53.399 --> 01:31:55.680
<v Speaker 5>probably some truth to it in the mountain towns that

1685
01:31:55.800 --> 01:31:59.920
<v Speaker 5>the short term rental market has distorted the actual market

1686
01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:02.880
<v Speaker 5>for long term renters. But a lot of people who

1687
01:32:02.960 --> 01:32:07.039
<v Speaker 5>own short term rentals, especially people who are retired. I

1688
01:32:07.720 --> 01:32:11.479
<v Speaker 5>met someone fairly recently that owns seven short term rental properties,

1689
01:32:11.800 --> 01:32:14.119
<v Speaker 5>and that is her retirement. That is the money that

1690
01:32:14.239 --> 01:32:17.520
<v Speaker 5>she brings in. She gets a tiny bit from Social Security.

1691
01:32:17.960 --> 01:32:20.319
<v Speaker 5>So if they go after her stuff, that is a

1692
01:32:20.600 --> 01:32:23.279
<v Speaker 5>huge hit. But I think that the perception is that

1693
01:32:23.359 --> 01:32:24.920
<v Speaker 5>if you want a short term rental, you want a

1694
01:32:25.000 --> 01:32:28.600
<v Speaker 5>second house, you're loaded over here and you can pay more.

1695
01:32:29.640 --> 01:32:30.279
<v Speaker 15>And that's the thing.

1696
01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:32.520
<v Speaker 14>So this has been a really hot topic in the

1697
01:32:32.640 --> 01:32:36.359
<v Speaker 14>legislature of the last several sessions. And what people don't

1698
01:32:36.439 --> 01:32:39.079
<v Speaker 14>understand is that seventy five percent of the short term

1699
01:32:39.159 --> 01:32:42.560
<v Speaker 14>rentals are owned by Colorado.

1700
01:32:42.439 --> 01:32:48.920
<v Speaker 15>Residents, and the vast majority of them are second home ish,

1701
01:32:49.119 --> 01:32:51.119
<v Speaker 15>but they are they pay.

1702
01:32:51.000 --> 01:32:55.279
<v Speaker 14>For themselves by short rentaling, otherwise they can't afford to

1703
01:32:55.359 --> 01:32:55.720
<v Speaker 14>have this.

1704
01:32:56.319 --> 01:32:58.439
<v Speaker 15>And this is my neighbor next door.

1705
01:32:58.920 --> 01:33:02.800
<v Speaker 14>Who's daughter is really into ski racing, and so they

1706
01:33:02.920 --> 01:33:06.279
<v Speaker 14>have a place up in winter Park and they go

1707
01:33:06.399 --> 01:33:09.479
<v Speaker 14>out there as often as they can so that they can.

1708
01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:11.319
<v Speaker 15>Enjoy the beauty that is Colorado.

1709
01:33:11.680 --> 01:33:15.159
<v Speaker 14>But they can't afford that place unless they supplement it

1710
01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:16.279
<v Speaker 14>with short term rentals.

1711
01:33:16.760 --> 01:33:19.600
<v Speaker 15>And that is the vast majority of those What the?

1712
01:33:20.119 --> 01:33:21.439
<v Speaker 15>What the again?

1713
01:33:21.800 --> 01:33:25.079
<v Speaker 14>These unintended consequences if you shut down the short term

1714
01:33:25.159 --> 01:33:29.119
<v Speaker 14>rental market. If my neighbor can no longer afford to

1715
01:33:30.000 --> 01:33:33.520
<v Speaker 14>have that short termental because her property tax taxes go

1716
01:33:33.720 --> 01:33:36.039
<v Speaker 14>so high, she has to sell it.

1717
01:33:37.760 --> 01:33:40.039
<v Speaker 15>The short term rental industry is.

1718
01:33:40.359 --> 01:33:45.479
<v Speaker 14>Largely responsible for affordable lodging in our mountain community.

1719
01:33:46.039 --> 01:33:50.000
<v Speaker 15>And so if you if you dry that up, that

1720
01:33:50.239 --> 01:33:51.680
<v Speaker 15>is going to impact.

1721
01:33:51.439 --> 01:33:54.199
<v Speaker 14>Ultimately your sands tax base because you're not going to

1722
01:33:54.319 --> 01:33:56.199
<v Speaker 14>have the tourists coming to.

1723
01:33:57.800 --> 01:33:58.640
<v Speaker 15>Enjoy our mountains.

1724
01:33:59.439 --> 01:34:02.920
<v Speaker 5>Lisa, I got a text here that said, are we

1725
01:34:03.079 --> 01:34:06.239
<v Speaker 5>ever will we get what a minute? Is there a

1726
01:34:06.359 --> 01:34:10.079
<v Speaker 5>chance that will bring us real relief this year? Or

1727
01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:12.479
<v Speaker 5>are we still just talking about future increases?

1728
01:34:15.119 --> 01:34:18.359
<v Speaker 14>So for twenty twenty four, what has been proposed is

1729
01:34:18.600 --> 01:34:24.760
<v Speaker 14>just essentially caring forward twenty twenty three's arrangement that the

1730
01:34:24.840 --> 01:34:29.039
<v Speaker 14>Democrats crammed down our throats in special session last November.

1731
01:34:29.399 --> 01:34:33.199
<v Speaker 15>And then next year. Next year is a reappraisal year.

1732
01:34:33.239 --> 01:34:38.399
<v Speaker 14>We're looking at fairly flat valuation, very few increases statewide,

1733
01:34:38.920 --> 01:34:41.920
<v Speaker 14>so we can expect to see slight decreases in property

1734
01:34:42.000 --> 01:34:46.520
<v Speaker 14>taxes based on what we're talking about, and then the plan,

1735
01:34:46.800 --> 01:34:51.279
<v Speaker 14>the hope is is that we will remain fairly stable.

1736
01:34:51.800 --> 01:34:55.479
<v Speaker 14>We're not going to go down to taxes people paid

1737
01:34:55.760 --> 01:34:56.439
<v Speaker 14>two years ago.

1738
01:34:56.640 --> 01:34:57.159
<v Speaker 6>Okay, so my.

1739
01:34:57.239 --> 01:34:59.640
<v Speaker 5>Forty percent increase is going to be a forty percent

1740
01:34:59.720 --> 01:35:01.359
<v Speaker 5>increase and there's nothing I can do about it.

1741
01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:04.600
<v Speaker 14>We would hope that it wasn't that much, but I

1742
01:35:04.960 --> 01:35:08.119
<v Speaker 14>feel your pain. I also had a forty actually forty

1743
01:35:08.199 --> 01:35:12.600
<v Speaker 14>five percent increase, so I know exactly and this is

1744
01:35:12.680 --> 01:35:16.279
<v Speaker 14>the thing, and I get really frustrated with our local

1745
01:35:16.359 --> 01:35:19.560
<v Speaker 14>governments because I was in the tax Commission.

1746
01:35:19.680 --> 01:35:22.439
<v Speaker 15>I actually just came from the tax Commission, the.

1747
01:35:22.840 --> 01:35:26.880
<v Speaker 14>Property tax Commission, and we're hearing from the special districts

1748
01:35:27.399 --> 01:35:30.720
<v Speaker 14>that you know, they're going to have to leave, they're

1749
01:35:30.760 --> 01:35:31.800
<v Speaker 14>going to have to lay people off.

1750
01:35:31.880 --> 01:35:33.399
<v Speaker 15>And that's just even with the deal.

1751
01:35:33.479 --> 01:35:38.000
<v Speaker 14>It's not even talking about Initiative fifty or one o

1752
01:35:38.159 --> 01:35:42.119
<v Speaker 14>eight that's talking. They're talking about that here. And what

1753
01:35:42.319 --> 01:35:45.479
<v Speaker 14>they are angling for is they want state backfill. And

1754
01:35:46.239 --> 01:35:50.000
<v Speaker 14>we've been down this road. I am completely opposed to

1755
01:35:50.079 --> 01:35:52.640
<v Speaker 14>the state getting into the backfield business or staying in

1756
01:35:52.720 --> 01:35:54.920
<v Speaker 14>the backfield business because we've been doing that.

1757
01:35:55.159 --> 01:35:56.199
<v Speaker 6>Holy So let me ask you this.

1758
01:35:56.279 --> 01:35:58.359
<v Speaker 5>And then when we're almost out of time, I think

1759
01:35:58.439 --> 01:36:02.960
<v Speaker 5>everybody listening is like, Okay, state local governments are going

1760
01:36:03.039 --> 01:36:06.239
<v Speaker 5>to get a huge increase in the amount of money

1761
01:36:06.680 --> 01:36:10.199
<v Speaker 5>that they are going to get. Yet they are now saying,

1762
01:36:10.239 --> 01:36:13.520
<v Speaker 5>if we don't get that huge increase and only get

1763
01:36:13.560 --> 01:36:16.479
<v Speaker 5>a really really big increase, we want the state to

1764
01:36:16.680 --> 01:36:19.119
<v Speaker 5>pay us the difference, even though they're already getting a

1765
01:36:19.199 --> 01:36:19.800
<v Speaker 5>huge increase.

1766
01:36:20.479 --> 01:36:23.640
<v Speaker 6>Yep, Okay, that's just dumb. I mean, that's just really dumb.

1767
01:36:23.800 --> 01:36:26.319
<v Speaker 14>Well and further, this is the thing that really torts

1768
01:36:26.359 --> 01:36:28.119
<v Speaker 14>me up is it comes out of the t So

1769
01:36:28.640 --> 01:36:32.840
<v Speaker 14>these backfill dollars come out of tabor surplus, which should

1770
01:36:32.880 --> 01:36:34.199
<v Speaker 14>be going where to us.

1771
01:36:34.520 --> 01:36:37.520
<v Speaker 5>Well, they're already given our tabor surplus away to everybody else,

1772
01:36:37.760 --> 01:36:40.520
<v Speaker 5>all those groups that they've decided or should get my

1773
01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:42.840
<v Speaker 5>money instead of me. I can't even talk about that.

1774
01:36:43.000 --> 01:36:46.319
<v Speaker 5>That's infuriating, Lisa Frazille. Let's let's touch base next.

1775
01:36:46.199 --> 01:36:46.880
<v Speaker 6>Week if we could.

1776
01:36:47.239 --> 01:36:49.399
<v Speaker 5>I'll get with the Laurel and kind of get an

1777
01:36:49.479 --> 01:36:52.199
<v Speaker 5>update on what's happening, if we could make that happen.

1778
01:36:52.239 --> 01:36:54.720
<v Speaker 5>I appreciate your coming on the show today, and I

1779
01:36:54.760 --> 01:36:58.279
<v Speaker 5>appreciate you trying to fight for me as one of

1780
01:36:58.359 --> 01:36:59.199
<v Speaker 5>your constituents.

1781
01:36:59.359 --> 01:37:03.119
<v Speaker 6>And I hope that the Democrats listen.

1782
01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:06.640
<v Speaker 5>That's all or I, you know, the Colorado people will

1783
01:37:07.159 --> 01:37:09.039
<v Speaker 5>handcuff them in such a way that could be really

1784
01:37:09.119 --> 01:37:11.680
<v Speaker 5>inconvenient going forward. So I hope the threat of that

1785
01:37:11.800 --> 01:37:15.760
<v Speaker 5>hanging over them leads to real action you and me both.

1786
01:37:15.640 --> 01:37:18.720
<v Speaker 14>Mandy, thank you so much. I really appreciate your time

1787
01:37:18.840 --> 01:37:21.000
<v Speaker 14>today and I would love to visit next week.

1788
01:37:21.159 --> 01:37:22.960
<v Speaker 6>Perfect. That's representative Lisa Frizzelle.

1789
01:37:23.000 --> 01:37:25.680
<v Speaker 5>She's also running for Senate, and I put both of

1790
01:37:25.720 --> 01:37:27.720
<v Speaker 5>those links for her on the blog so you can

1791
01:37:27.760 --> 01:37:29.920
<v Speaker 5>find out more information about that.

1792
01:37:30.239 --> 01:37:32.800
<v Speaker 6>So that's something we have to look forward to. Is

1793
