Speaker 4: Got Wait to Stay and the nicety cuts through prey
Speaker 4: by Coronald Keith sad Day.
Speaker 5: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, and welcome to a Friday edition of
Speaker 5: the show Altogether. Now that air hit cup wait that
Speaker 5: first air warn is how I feel today. I feel
Speaker 5: like I've been hit by truck a rod and I
Speaker 5: got back last night.
Speaker 6: Yes, that is how I feel.
Speaker 5: That's how I felt like starting in the Monday and
Speaker 5: then down. We got back last night at like ten thirty.
Speaker 5: Watch the speech last night on the aeroplane and we
Speaker 5: have those to talk about. But I think both of
Speaker 5: us are feeling rather exhausted. I mean, I'm I'm way
Speaker 5: older than you, Aerod, and I'm gonna tell you I
Speaker 5: feel like I've been I've run a marathon in the
Speaker 5: last four days.
Speaker 6: It's been nuts.
Speaker 7: I felt pretty good this morning, and then ironically after
Speaker 7: I drink a Red Bull to get even a little
Speaker 7: bit more feeling good.
Speaker 8: Got it the other way. I'm not more tired. It
Speaker 8: makes no sense.
Speaker 5: No it's a sugar crash. That's what you did to yourself.
Speaker 5: You're sugar sugar free. Oh yeah, that's true. I guess
Speaker 5: you're right about that energy. I don't know what's just
Speaker 5: can of chemicals that sugar free Red bull. Anyway, So
Speaker 5: today's the day that we can dish the dirt on
Speaker 5: the Democratic National convention because I.
Speaker 6: Am no longer at their party.
Speaker 5: As I said all week, I was at their party
Speaker 5: and did not want to pee in the punch bowl.
Speaker 5: So today let the peeing commence. Anyway, let's do the
Speaker 5: blog because I got a lot of stuff on the
Speaker 5: blog that we need to talk about. And then next
Speaker 5: week we'll get back to hopefully, I mean, actually, let me.
Speaker 6: Just say this.
Speaker 5: What I was about to say was next week we'll
Speaker 5: get back to kind of a better mix of politics
Speaker 5: and other stuff. Right, we have a little bit of
Speaker 5: other stuff today on the show, but I can't say
Speaker 5: that because we are in the most insane election cycle
Speaker 5: that I have ever experienced in my lifetime, and anything
Speaker 5: could happen, right, I mean, anything could happen.
Speaker 6: That's how I.
Speaker 5: Feel now, because right now we live in a world
Speaker 5: where the Democratic Party just had a convention where they
Speaker 5: just were like, Hey, you know what, we love everything
Speaker 5: Republicans love. We love it all even though everything in
Speaker 5: their policy says otherwise. We're gonna get into this a
Speaker 5: little bit. Let's go to the blog. You can find
Speaker 5: it at mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look
Speaker 5: for the headline that says eight twenty three to twenty
Speaker 5: four blog We're back and Kamala could be president.
Speaker 6: Click on that and here are the headlines you will
Speaker 6: find within and.
Speaker 9: Anyone's listing office.
Speaker 7: Half of American all with ships and clipments, and say
Speaker 7: that's corta press plant.
Speaker 5: Today on the blog. It's an ask Me Anything Friday.
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris knocked it out of the park last night.
Speaker 6: Scrollings, scrolling, scrolling, Just who is running.
Speaker 5: The country right now? Oh geez, I have to scroll
Speaker 5: all the way down because I invented all of Donald
Speaker 5: Trump's reaction posts from yesterday. Just who is running the
Speaker 5: country right now? Representative Lisa Prazzell joins me to talk
Speaker 5: about the special session next week, an event for the
Speaker 5: over sixty five crowd. Democrats now write their own rules,
Speaker 5: both nationally and at the state level. Scrolling, scrolling, PBR
Speaker 5: has moved and that's no ball about that massive jobs
Speaker 5: number correction. No, Democrats are not the Party of freedom,
Speaker 5: nerdy population facts for you. Most climate policies don't work.
Speaker 5: The Taliban Biden empowered subjugates women. More good food at DIA,
Speaker 5: epic or icon pass Lots to do in Colorado this weekend.
Speaker 5: Asking Kamala Harris supporters about why she has their support.
Speaker 5: Asking Tamala supporters about policy positions. John Stossel gives us
Speaker 5: Kamala Unfiltered Poverty and parents explain the achievement gap.
Speaker 6: Chick fil A is adding a new product to the lineup.
Speaker 5: Police made the top cringiest moments from the DNC vibe
Speaker 5: check RNC versus DNZ. Those are the headlines on the
Speaker 5: blog at mandy'sblog dot com. And as I said, you
Speaker 5: feel free, you ask thro VR text line five six
Speaker 5: six nine zero. You just shoot that over to the
Speaker 5: Common Spirit Health text line. And I am going to
Speaker 5: answer these questions so because I've already got them coming in,
Speaker 5: because we were we were observers a rod. That was
Speaker 5: what I viewed my role as observing, allowing the Democrats
Speaker 5: to make their case. And I have to give a
Speaker 5: lot of credit to the Democratic Party whoever planned the
Speaker 5: DNC because it was equal parts anti Trump and equal
Speaker 5: parts fluff, and.
Speaker 6: They had musicians playing.
Speaker 5: I believe that they leaked a rumor last night that
Speaker 5: Taylor Swift or Beyonce were going to appear so young
Speaker 5: people would watch the convention. I honestly believe that, because
Speaker 5: that's what I would do if I wanted young people
Speaker 5: to watch the convention. I'm saying, you know what, you
Speaker 5: know who's going to be there. Taylor Swift is going
Speaker 5: to perform tonight or Beyonce is going to perform tonight.
Speaker 5: And it didn't happen, but they probably got more young
Speaker 5: eyeballs because of it. And last night Kamala Harris gave
Speaker 5: a speech in which she appeared to be incredibly likable.
Speaker 5: For some reason, she told her story again, even after
Speaker 5: it's been told like fifty times during the convention, she
Speaker 5: told it again. But she was engaging, she was likable,
Speaker 5: and she delivered that speech incredibly well. So when I
Speaker 5: say Kamala Harris knocked it out of the park, I
Speaker 5: am talking about she knocked it out of the park
Speaker 5: to the people that are the low information voters. I
Speaker 5: think Rischlimbah really nailed it when he coined the term
Speaker 5: low information voters. There are people that watched last night
Speaker 5: for five minutes and we're like, Nope, she's my girl.
Speaker 6: Listen to her. She's so positive that joy I can't
Speaker 6: the vibe is so good, and they're going to vote
Speaker 6: for her based on that.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 5: I say that because realistically, you guys, the Republican Party
Speaker 5: has five weeks from today to rewrite the story of
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris. They have five weeks from right now, because
Speaker 5: in five weeks, ballots start dropping across the country, and
Speaker 5: once ballots drop, it doesn't matter how you define your
Speaker 5: opponent because people will have already cast their votes. This
Speaker 5: is one of the things I hate about early voting.
Speaker 5: I mean, I really hate it about early voting because
Speaker 5: people will cast their ballots and like in the primary,
Speaker 5: you'll cast your ballot and somebody will drop out before
Speaker 5: your actual primary day and your vote is just for
Speaker 5: no one, absolutely no one. So I don't like early voting.
Speaker 5: But the reality is is that the Republican Party has
Speaker 5: about five weeks to redefine Kamala Harris or define her
Speaker 5: positions for her, which is the strategy I think they
Speaker 5: have to adopt because the news media has proven itself
Speaker 5: to be wildly uninterested in forcing the issue of why
Speaker 5: she hasn't had a press conference, why she hasn't sat
Speaker 5: down for a lengthy interview except with Tim Walls, and
Speaker 5: they're like, you know what, there's just so much of
Speaker 5: a vibe going on right now.
Speaker 6: We don't need any meat on the bones. It's a vibe.
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris is the candidate who is Obamacare. We have
Speaker 5: to elect her to find out what she's going to do.
Speaker 5: And it is incredibly important that the Republican Party go
Speaker 5: back and remind everyone of what she said she was
Speaker 5: going to do when she was actually running for president.
Speaker 5: You know, the thing that shocked me the most this
Speaker 5: past week, and I'll just be straight up, the thing
Speaker 5: that shocked me the most was that literally no one
Speaker 5: at all, at all, at anywhere was talking about the
Speaker 5: fact that for the second time, party leaders in the
Speaker 5: DNC decided who was going to be the candidate, not
Speaker 5: the voters. Remember what they did to Bernie Sanders in
Speaker 5: twenty sixteen. They absolutely decapped him, and this time they
Speaker 5: didn't even recap the opponent.
Speaker 6: They didn't let anyone else in the race.
Speaker 5: They are still still right now today they are fighting
Speaker 5: in court to keep RFK Junior off the ballot in
Speaker 5: different states because they don't want you to have options.
Speaker 5: They don't even want you to have the candidate that
Speaker 5: you voted for. And they who exactly who were the
Speaker 5: deciders who named Kamala Harris the candidate? I'd love to
Speaker 5: know the answer to that question. Where was the meeting,
Speaker 5: When did it take place? Was it open to Democrats?
Speaker 5: Did they have a discussion, were other candidates talked about?
Speaker 6: No, none of these things happened.
Speaker 5: So we have Democratic Party leadership that is just deciding everything,
Speaker 5: and then you have a willing news media who is
Speaker 5: doing the bidding for Kamala Harris. Whether it is the
Speaker 5: choice by certain journalists who only cover the DNC and
Speaker 5: not the RNC. You can just figure out who I'm
Speaker 5: talking about there. I mean, just you know, or it
Speaker 5: is the absolute unseeriousness of them just accepting that a
Speaker 5: major candidate, actually the most big candidate right now leading
Speaker 5: in the polls, has released one policy position one.
Speaker 6: One.
Speaker 5: That's where we are right now. So yeah, but Republicans
Speaker 5: better get their heads out of their asses. Because Donald
Speaker 5: Trump has no discipline at this point. Donald Trump needs
Speaker 5: to be rained in. He needs to be put on message.
Speaker 5: And if you want to see a perfect example of that,
Speaker 5: I want you to go back and watch Donald Trump's
Speaker 5: acceptance speech, which for the first twenty three minutes was
Speaker 5: rivening because he talked about being shot, and for the
Speaker 5: next hour was a rambling mess. And last night Kamala
Speaker 5: Harris stayed on message. She stayed on point, in out
Speaker 5: in thirty seven minutes. Nobody was yawning, nobody was falling asleep.
Speaker 5: That's how you do an acceptance speech at a convention.
Speaker 5: So somebody needs to rein in Donald Trump's worst instincts.
Speaker 5: They need to be hammering the fact that she is
Speaker 5: a full blown leftist progressive bordering on socialism, which she
Speaker 5: talks about things like the government needs to build more
Speaker 5: affordable housing. No, that is not what needs to happen. No,
Speaker 5: she never talks about unleashing the American economy. She talks
Speaker 5: about government doing these things. It's terrible, I mean absolutely terrible.
Speaker 5: So let me get some of these questions, because there
Speaker 5: are a bunch they are coming in. Are you not
Speaker 5: going to cover RFK dropping out coming up in a
Speaker 5: few I absolutely will. But I googled that this morning
Speaker 5: and I didn't have a time, I didn't have a place.
Speaker 5: There was nothing about it in the news this morning.
Speaker 6: So as soon as that.
Speaker 5: Happens, and if he endorses Trump, I will absolutely talk
Speaker 5: about that. We've talked about it throughout the week. As
Speaker 5: soon as the news broke, we talked about it. I
Speaker 5: don't know that it's a huge positive if he endorses Trump,
Speaker 5: but every little bit helps because I do think this
Speaker 5: election is going to be very, very close. Mandy, if
Speaker 5: you missed Chicago Beef hot Dog, Chicago Mike's Beef and
Speaker 5: hot Dogs on Briarwood Avenue, I've only had their beef.
Speaker 6: See they have thin.
Speaker 5: Crust pizza two. Okay, good, I'll take that. It was
Speaker 5: all Trump fear pandering, says this texter.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 5: It was all Boogeyman Trump Project twenty twenty five and
Speaker 5: the Republicans rejected a bipartisan border deal.
Speaker 6: And do you guys realize that all of those talking.
Speaker 5: Points are self inflicted wounds by the Republican Party. The
Speaker 5: Heritage Foundation under Kevin Roberts, has made so many critical
Speaker 5: errors that have absolutely derailed their mission, which is to
Speaker 5: put conservative policy positions forward by presenting Project twenty twenty
Speaker 5: five as a hey, we've created this guide for your
Speaker 5: first year in office, and attaching themselves to Donald Trump,
Speaker 5: they could very well be the reason he loses this election,
Speaker 5: among other things.
Speaker 6: So we got that. We have Mitch McConnell, who sends
Speaker 6: a one Republican in the.
Speaker 5: Negotiated deal who's not up for reelection for six years.
Speaker 5: Mitch McConnell knows that there is a huge section of
Speaker 5: the United States that wants cheap labor from over the
Speaker 5: southern border.
Speaker 6: He was coltowing to them.
Speaker 5: He set him up for failure, and now they've given
Speaker 5: them the talking point that Republicans are the problem on
Speaker 5: the border.
Speaker 7: Yes, a roy and he by the way it looks
Speaker 7: like right now, and I think we probably will be
Speaker 7: able to carry it if it happens during a good
Speaker 7: time in the show. It looks like RFK is going
Speaker 7: to address the nation in moments and Fox News is
Speaker 7: CG says right now, RFK Junior speaks the mind reports
Speaker 7: he'll drop out, And previously, just a few moments ago
Speaker 7: they had mentioned about the reports about him endorsement Trump.
Speaker 8: So he's scheduled to talk any minutes, so we can
Speaker 8: carry that.
Speaker 6: We will, we'll grab it. If we can't, we will
Speaker 6: will grab it and see if we can cover that.
Speaker 5: So again, I don't know if it's a game changer,
Speaker 5: but clearing the decks does help in the long run.
Speaker 5: The Democrat the Democratic Party is so fake. They became
Speaker 5: patriotic gun police wall lovers overnight.
Speaker 6: Exactly right, exactly right.
Speaker 5: They're they're trying to just steal the Republican issues that
Speaker 5: Republicans have been banging the drum about, and they're doing
Speaker 5: it to appeal to moderates who don't like Donald Trump.
Speaker 6: And you know what, it might work.
Speaker 5: It just may work. Somebody said on one of my posts. Yeah,
Speaker 5: they're getting ready to steal the election. If you think
Speaker 5: there is not enough hatred of Donald Trump to get
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris into the White House, you are just being
Speaker 5: willfully ignorant.
Speaker 6: People that don't like Donald Trump just don't like him.
Speaker 5: They hate him, and they're looking for anybody that seems
Speaker 5: reasonable to vote for. Ah, Mandy, what omen and or
Speaker 5: person almost pushed you over the edge to say, bs
Speaker 5: that is a lie? Wednesday Night Speaker after speaker after speaker,
Speaker 5: and when Governor Jared Polis stood up there with that
Speaker 5: asinine copy of the Damn Project twenty twenty five book
Speaker 5: and blatantly lied about what was in it, that was
Speaker 5: for me.
Speaker 6: I was like, I'm done out.
Speaker 5: I cannot do this because I know Jared Pulus well
Speaker 5: enough to know he is an incredibly intelligent person, so
Speaker 5: he knew what he was saying.
Speaker 6: Up there was a lie.
Speaker 5: He did it anyway to suck up to the Democratic
Speaker 5: Party because he wants to be president. Liar liar, pants
Speaker 5: on fire. Mandy, did you enter a pie in the
Speaker 5: state fair competition this year? I did not, mostly because
Speaker 5: I was going to be gone This week. Mandy Polis
Speaker 5: blamed Trump for the COVID mandate in Colorado. Yes, I
Speaker 5: heard that. He said it on my show, but because
Speaker 5: I was being on my best behavior allowing you to
Speaker 5: hear directly from the Democrats' mouths without interruption.
Speaker 6: Let it go.
Speaker 5: But you all know, you all know exactly what happened
Speaker 5: when he told you that you were going to kill
Speaker 5: Grandma and wear a damn mask.
Speaker 6: Remember that.
Speaker 8: How dare you not challenge what on your show? Would
Speaker 8: they say something you disagree with.
Speaker 5: When I was at their house, I didn't want to
Speaker 5: pee in their punch bowl. Now I am not at
Speaker 5: their house, and now I am peeing away. Rhetorically, you must.
Speaker 7: Attack at all times, though, Mandy, one hundred the time attacking.
Speaker 6: I know, I know, I know, but that's not how
Speaker 6: I roll and never will. Just not not how I
Speaker 6: do things. And I really wanted to have.
Speaker 5: The same experience at the at the u DNC that
Speaker 5: I had at the RNC, which is just letting people
Speaker 5: talk and letting you make up your own minds, right,
Speaker 5: I mean, I just think that that's the way that
Speaker 5: we should be doing things. I also trust this audience
Speaker 5: and I trust you guys to hear the same things
Speaker 5: I hear. Right, I think you're smart. I don't need
Speaker 5: to walk you through, you know, a word by word
Speaker 5: of what you should think like other people do. I'm
Speaker 5: just saying, let me see here, trying to get this
Speaker 5: to update, and it won't all right, So lots of
Speaker 5: these are coming in and I'm trying get it was
Speaker 5: a great speech to batter pants didn't catch on fire,
Speaker 5: says that text her Mandy. It was a group therapy
Speaker 5: session for people who think they were hurt by Trump
Speaker 5: before and think he's coming to hurt them again. So
Speaker 5: I heard very well done Texter, Mandy, thank you and
Speaker 5: the KAA team reporting was there. Was there the same
Speaker 5: demonstrations that the RNC as we saw at the DNC. No,
Speaker 5: there was one demonstration. It was called march on the RNC.
Speaker 5: They said tens of thousands of people were gonna come.
Speaker 5: It ended up being tens of people and the.
Speaker 9: The the so called.
Speaker 6: Protests that were expected at this did not materialize.
Speaker 5: Although did you see a rod that apparently last night
Speaker 5: as people were trying to leave, Palestinian protesters were standing
Speaker 5: in front of the ride share cars. Can you imagine
Speaker 5: how angry everyone was at that? Oh boy, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 5: you guys, after the after the convention is over, everyone,
Speaker 5: so thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people
Speaker 5: pour out into the streets, a vast majority of whom
Speaker 5: we're trying to get a ride share.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 5: It was pretty remarkable, uh, the way they had that
Speaker 5: set up, and it seemed to work pretty well. We
Speaker 5: of course just had to walk back to our abode,
Speaker 5: which was right down the street. It was fantastic, let's
Speaker 5: do this let's take a very quick time out. I'm
Speaker 5: going to organize these questions a little bit and we're
Speaker 5: gonna just wait and see if RFK drops out, we
Speaker 5: will cover that for you because I also want to
Speaker 5: hear it.
Speaker 6: And uh so we'll get that as we do.
Speaker 5: But we got to take a quick time out and
Speaker 5: get some news, traffic and weather back after this. We
Speaker 5: were just talking about this off the air, and and
Speaker 5: you know what was offered to r f K Junior,
Speaker 5: because all of this stuff, all these endorsements are very transactional,
Speaker 5: right so uh and and A Rod said, well, do
Speaker 5: you think that Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6: Said, you know, didn't offer it.
Speaker 5: I don't think that the Democrats are concerned at all,
Speaker 5: well maybe a little bit about about him endorsing Trump
Speaker 5: because they didn't think it would happen. They've been working
Speaker 5: very diligently to just keep him off the ballot.
Speaker 8: Well, the Democratic what was that bluff?
Speaker 5: Called yes, exactly, So we'll see what this means. But
Speaker 5: you just said something A Rod I thought was kind
Speaker 5: of interesting. A Rod said, now I don't even have
Speaker 5: the chance to consider voting for him, right, like like
Speaker 5: that was going to be your respite in the storm
Speaker 5: if you can't figure out a way to vote for
Speaker 5: either of these and uh yeah, I think a lot
Speaker 5: of his followers are going to be super mad.
Speaker 6: I think super super mad. So where they end up,
Speaker 6: I don't know. I have no idea.
Speaker 7: Those votes kind of null and void because those that
Speaker 7: maybe were considered voting for him just don't vote, and
Speaker 7: then it just doesn't matter at the end of the
Speaker 7: day because it was either an RFK vote or no vote.
Speaker 5: At the end of the day, I think some of
Speaker 5: them will take their marbles and go home and leave
Speaker 5: it blank. I do think that it really depends on
Speaker 5: how much they hate Trump, and you know, whether or
Speaker 5: not they can stomach voting for Kamala Harris not knowing
Speaker 5: anything about what she would be like as a prisondent
Speaker 5: because we don't know. Let me rip through some of
Speaker 5: these text messages because there is a lot of them,
Speaker 5: and I want to get this to you, Mandy. I
Speaker 5: don't think low information voters are confined to the Democratic Party.
Speaker 5: I would almost say party affiliation these days is probably
Speaker 5: more assigned that you're a low information voter than paying
Speaker 5: attention as an affiliate unaffiliated voter depends on who you
Speaker 5: are in the party, right, you know? I mean there
Speaker 5: are people in the that are very active in both
Speaker 5: parties that are that are passionate about this stuff. But
Speaker 5: I agree they are low information voters on both sides.
Speaker 5: There are also a lot of low information voters that
Speaker 5: are affiliated. There's a reason they're unaffiliated because they can't
Speaker 5: pick a side. Mandy, did you happen to bring back.
Speaker 6: Anything cruss pizza from Chicago?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: I got stymied because a Rod and I we have
Speaker 5: this this momentary flash of hope that we'd be able
Speaker 5: to get on an earlier flight, and then we got
Speaker 5: into Chicago traffic, and that hope was dashed into the dust,
Speaker 5: absolutely into the dust. So no, I didn't get more
Speaker 5: thin Crest pizza, but I also didn't.
Speaker 6: Make the earlier flights.
Speaker 5: It was just complete wash and super irritating, and I'm
Speaker 5: very unhappy about that anyway, Mandy man Baby Trump responds
Speaker 5: in real time during Kamala's speech.
Speaker 6: Where's Hunter?
Speaker 5: By the way, Doug m Hoff is the one who
Speaker 5: had the affair with the nanny, not Waalts. Yes, I
Speaker 5: clarified that yesterday when I just had the wrong name
Speaker 5: in my head and Honestly.
Speaker 6: The exhaustion had just fit in.
Speaker 5: How are we supposed to compete with people that all
Speaker 5: they do is lie? And worst of all, the sheep
Speaker 5: believe it.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 5: I saw an interesting comment about Trump lying versus Kamala
Speaker 5: Harris lying and the Democratic Party and the kind of
Speaker 5: lying they do, and I'm gonna have to say I
Speaker 5: agreed with it. Trump lies about dumb crap that doesn't matter.
Speaker 5: He lies about self aggrandizing, hyperbolic just to make himself
Speaker 5: look better. But I cannot have I cannot think. And
Speaker 5: I thought about this after I saw this comment on
Speaker 5: X yesterday. I was trying to think about things that
Speaker 5: Donald Trump just blatantly lied about when it came to
Speaker 5: important issues, and I could not think of them. Maybe
Speaker 5: there are, and if you want to text them to
Speaker 5: five six six nine, oh please do. But Kamala Harris
Speaker 5: and the Democratic Party lied about a bunch of stuff
Speaker 5: last night and the night before.
Speaker 6: They're this lying about Project twenty twenty five. Is genius
Speaker 6: on their part.
Speaker 5: I mean genius because nobody's gonna read a nine hundred
Speaker 5: page document and all these people are just gonna assume
Speaker 5: that what they're saying is true.
Speaker 6: It's a really smart move.
Speaker 5: She doesn't even have policy positions on our website, but
Speaker 5: there's a nine hundred page pdf you can download on
Speaker 5: the Democrat page. Because they don't want you to pay
Speaker 5: attention to them. This is all look over you, look
Speaker 5: over here.
Speaker 6: That's all the whole convention was. Look over here. Don't
Speaker 6: ask us look over there. Oh yeay, yay. It was
Speaker 6: really really, really bad. Let's see, Mandy.
Speaker 5: It is not true that the Republican Party has been
Speaker 5: railroaded by Trump's threats to primary them if they don't
Speaker 5: bow to the king. Adam Kenzinger's speeches are always impressive
Speaker 5: and on point. Adam Kenzinger needs to just become a Democrat.
Speaker 5: I mean, he just needs to stop pretending that he's not.
Speaker 5: And I'm just gonna say this about the Republicans who
Speaker 5: showed up at the Democratic National Convention to talk about
Speaker 5: why they couldn't vote for Trump. They are officially useful idiots,
Speaker 5: because if you're a real Republican and you know anything
Speaker 5: about the policies that Kamala Harris espoused when she ran
Speaker 5: for president the first time, you cannot support that ticket.
Speaker 6: You just can't.
Speaker 5: So they all became useful idiots by talking about how
Speaker 5: they could not get behind Trump.
Speaker 6: And I understand it, I truly do.
Speaker 5: You guys know this, But I would never appear at
Speaker 5: a Democratic Convention to say that.
Speaker 6: I just wouldn't.
Speaker 5: There's a big difference between complaining about Donald Trump as
Speaker 5: a Republican and quite another than appearing at a DNC
Speaker 5: to support people that are espousing And we will do
Speaker 5: everything that you find to be horrible for the United
Speaker 5: States as I do. Big, big, big difference. We're going
Speaker 5: to take a quick time out. We're gonna hear from
Speaker 5: RFK Junior hopefully right when we get back.
Speaker 6: Stick around. We're coming right back on KWA keep everybody waiting.
Speaker 10: Sixteen months ago, in April of twenty twenty three, I
Speaker 10: launched my campaign for President of the United States.
Speaker 9: I began this journey as a Democrat, the party my father,
Speaker 9: my uncle, the.
Speaker 10: Party which I pledge my own allegiance to long before
Speaker 10: I was old enough to vote. I attended my first
Speaker 10: Democratic Convention at the age of six in nineteen sixty
Speaker 10: and back then, the Democrats were the champions of the
Speaker 10: Constitution of civil rights. The Democrats stood against authoritarianism, against censorship,
Speaker 10: against colonialism, imperialism, and unjust wars. We were the party
Speaker 10: of labor of the working class. The Democrats were the
Speaker 10: party of government transparency and the champion of the environment.
Speaker 10: Our party was the bulwark against big money interests and
Speaker 10: corporate power.
Speaker 9: True to its name, it was the Party of democracy.
Speaker 10: As you know, I left that party in October because
Speaker 10: it had departed so dramatically from.
Speaker 9: The core values that I grew up with. It had
Speaker 9: become the.
Speaker 10: Party of war, censorship, corruption, big pharm a, big tech,
Speaker 10: and big money we wanted abandoned democracy by canceling the
Speaker 10: primary to CEO the cognitive decline of the sitting president.
Speaker 10: I left the party to run as an independent.
Speaker 9: The mainstream of American.
Speaker 10: Politics and journalism derided my decision. Conventional wisdom said that
Speaker 10: it would be impossible even to get on the ballot
Speaker 10: as an independent because each state poses an insurmountable tangle
Speaker 10: of arbitrary rules for collecting signatures. I would need over
Speaker 10: a million signatures, something no presidential candidate in history had
Speaker 10: ever achieved, and then I need a team of attorneys
Speaker 10: and millions of dollars to handle all the legal challenges
Speaker 10: from the d N. To say the naysayers told us
Speaker 10: that we were climbing a glass.
Speaker 9: Version of Mount Impossible.
Speaker 10: So the first thing I want to tell you is
Speaker 10: that we prove them wrong. We did it because, beneath
Speaker 10: the radar of mainstream media organs, we inspired a massive
Speaker 10: independent political movement.
Speaker 9: More than one hundred.
Speaker 10: Thousand volunteers sprang into action, hopeful that they could reverse
Speaker 10: our nation's decline. Many work ten hour days, sometimes in
Speaker 10: blizzards and blazing heat. They sacrifice family time, personal commitments,
Speaker 10: and sleep month after months. Energized by a shared vision
Speaker 10: of a nation yield of its divisions, they set up
Speaker 10: tables at churches and farmers' markets.
Speaker 9: They canvas door to door.
Speaker 10: In Utah and in New Hampshire, volunteers collected signatures in snowstorms,
Speaker 10: convincing each supporter to stop in the frigid cold, to
Speaker 10: take off their gloves, and to sign legendly. During a
Speaker 10: heat wave in nevadaim And a tall, athletic volunteer who
Speaker 10: cheerfully told me that he had lost twenty five pounds
Speaker 10: collecting signatures and then one hundred and seventeen degree heat.
Speaker 10: To finance this effort, young Americans donated their lunch money
Speaker 10: and senior citizens gave up there part of their social
Speaker 10: Security checks. Our fifty state organization collected those millions of
Speaker 10: signatures and more. No presidential campaign, any political American political history,
Speaker 10: has ever done that, And so I want to thank
Speaker 10: all of those dedicated volunteers and congratulate the campaign's staff
Speaker 10: who coordinated this enormous logistical feat. Your accomplishments were regarded
Speaker 10: as impossible. You carried me up that class mountain. You
Speaker 10: pulled off a miracle. You achieved and all the puntinents
Speaker 10: said could never be done. You have my deepest gratitude,
Speaker 10: and I'm never going to forget that, not just for
Speaker 10: what you did for my campaign, but for the sacrifices
Speaker 10: you made because you.
Speaker 9: Love our country.
Speaker 10: You show to everyone that democracy is still possible here.
Speaker 10: It continues to survive in the press and in the
Speaker 10: idealistic human energies that still thrive beneath the canvas of
Speaker 10: neglect and of.
Speaker 9: Official and institutional corruption.
Speaker 10: Today, I'm here to tell you that I will not
Speaker 10: let allow your efforts to go to waste. I'm here
Speaker 10: to tell you that I will leverage your tremendous accomplishments
Speaker 10: to serve the ideals that we share. The ideals of peace,
Speaker 10: of prosperity, of freedom, of health, all the ideals that
Speaker 10: motivated my campaign. I'm here describe the power forward you've
Speaker 10: opened with your commitment and with your hard labors. Now
Speaker 10: in an honor system, I believe that I would have
Speaker 10: won the election in a system that kind my father
Speaker 10: and my uncles thrived in. The system was open debates
Speaker 10: with their primers, with regularly scheduled debate with their primers,
Speaker 10: and with a truly independent media, untainted by government propaganda
Speaker 10: and censorship. In a system of nonpartisan courts and election boards,
Speaker 10: everything would be different. After all, the polls consistently showed
Speaker 10: me beating each of the other candidates, both in favorability.
Speaker 9: And also in head to head matchups.
Speaker 10: But I'm sorry to say that while democracy may still
Speaker 10: be alive at the grassroots, it has become a little
Speaker 10: more than a slogan for our political institutions, for our media,
Speaker 10: and for our government, and most sadly at all, for me,
Speaker 10: for the.
Speaker 9: Democ Credit Party.
Speaker 10: In the name of saving democracy, the Democratic Party set
Speaker 10: itself to dismantling it, lacking confidence in its candidate.
Speaker 9: That his candidate could win in a fair election.
Speaker 10: At the voting booths, the DNC wage continual legal warfare
Speaker 10: against both President Trump and myself. Each time that our
Speaker 10: volunteers turned in those towering boxes of signatures needed to
Speaker 10: get on the ballot, the DNC agniscent to court state
Speaker 10: after state, attempting to erase their work and to subvert
Speaker 10: the will of the voters who had signed those petitions.
Speaker 10: It deployed DNZ aligned judges to throw me and other
Speaker 10: candidates off the ballot and to throw President Trump in jail.
Speaker 10: He ran a sham primary that was rigged to prevent
Speaker 10: any serious challenge to President Biden. Then, when a predictably
Speaker 10: bungled debate performance precipitated the palace coup against President Biden,
Speaker 10: the same shadowy DNC operatives appointed his successor, also without
Speaker 10: an election.
Speaker 9: They insold a.
Speaker 10: Candidate who was so unpopular with voters that she dropped
Speaker 10: out in twenty twenty without winning a single delegate. My
Speaker 10: uncle and my father both relish debate. They prided themselves
Speaker 10: on their capacity to go toe to toe with any
Speaker 10: opponent and the battle over ideas.
Speaker 9: They would be.
Speaker 10: Astonished to learn of a Democratic Party presidential nominee who
Speaker 10: like Vice President Harris has not appeared in a single
Speaker 10: interview or an unscripted encounter with voters for thirty five days.
Speaker 10: This is profoundly undemocratic. How are people to choose when
Speaker 10: they don't know on their using and how.
Speaker 9: Can this look to the rest.
Speaker 10: Of the world. My father and my uncle were always
Speaker 10: conscious of America's image abroad because of our nation's role
Speaker 10: as the template for democracy, the role model for democratic processes,
Speaker 10: and the leader of the free world. Instead of showing
Speaker 10: us her substance and character, the DNC and its media
Speaker 10: organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris
Speaker 10: based upon well, nothing, no policies, no interviews, no debates.
Speaker 10: I'm only smoking mirrors and balloons in a highly reduced
Speaker 10: Chicago's circus. They are in Chicago history of Democratic speakers
Speaker 10: mentioned Donald Trump one hundred and forty seven times just
Speaker 10: on the first day. Who needs a policy when you
Speaker 10: have Trump to hate? In contrast, at the RNC convention,
Speaker 10: President Biden.
Speaker 5: You guys, we are going to butt in right now
Speaker 5: to RFK Junior. We're gonna actually we're rolling.
Speaker 6: On this right now.
Speaker 5: Gotta tell you, I kind of agree with what he's
Speaker 5: saying about the way the Democratic Party is treated him.
Speaker 5: We'll do more of this on the other side of
Speaker 5: the break. Keep it right here in news, trafficking weather
Speaker 5: coming up next.
Speaker 1: The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Speaker 1: Accident and Injury Lawyers.
Speaker 2: No, It's Mandy Connell and KA ninety FM.
Speaker 4: Got stay the nicety through three Andy Connal, keithby sad Thing.
Speaker 5: Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show.
Speaker 5: We ran tate on our FK junior so we could
Speaker 5: play it for you. Ay Rod, summarize what we're what
Speaker 5: we're missing between when we cut off and.
Speaker 7: What we're going to He's basically continue you like you
Speaker 7: like you heard him talk about the ways of the
Speaker 7: Democratic Party has failed bull democracy and in his words,
Speaker 7: basically saying that democracy is a slogan, which is which
Speaker 7: is which is pretty strong and how you know, I
Speaker 7: like we like we heard him talk about that there
Speaker 7: should have been a primary, should had the opportunity, and
Speaker 7: now he's leading into essentially what we assume here in
Speaker 7: just mere moments, you're going to hear him him endorsing
Speaker 7: President Trump.
Speaker 5: Go ahead and go to the By the way, I'm
Speaker 5: getting a lot of comments, why does he sound like this?
Speaker 5: He has a condition called spasmodic dysphonia. We actually talked
Speaker 5: about it with my voice doctor, and uh, just so
Speaker 5: you know, it's a it's a medical condition, not just
Speaker 5: him being horse, go ahead and play his comments.
Speaker 10: Polling consistently showed that why he is staying on the
Speaker 10: ballot in the battle ground states, I would likely hand
Speaker 10: the election over to the Democrats, with whom I disagree
Speaker 10: on the most existential issues censorship, war and chronic disease. Oh,
Speaker 10: I want everyone to know that I am not terminating
Speaker 10: my campaign. I am simply suspending it.
Speaker 9: And not ending it. My name. My name will remain
Speaker 9: on the ballot in most states.
Speaker 10: If you live in a blue state, you can vote
Speaker 10: for me without harming or helping President Trump or or
Speaker 10: Vice President Harris.
Speaker 9: In red stage, the same will apply.
Speaker 10: I encourage you to vote for me, and if enough
Speaker 10: of you do vote for me, and neither of the
Speaker 10: major party candidates win two hundred and seventy votes, which
Speaker 10: is quite possible. In fact, today our polling shows them
Speaker 10: tying it two sixty nine to sixty nine, and I
Speaker 10: could conceivably still end up in the White House in
Speaker 10: a contingent election.
Speaker 8: But that's not going to happen in about ten.
Speaker 10: Battleground states where my presence would be as a spoiler.
Speaker 9: I'm going to remove my name and I've.
Speaker 10: Already started that process and urge voters not to vote
Speaker 10: for me. It's with a sense of victory and not
Speaker 10: defeat that I'm suspending my campaign activities. Not only did
Speaker 10: we do the impossible by collecting a million signatures, we
Speaker 10: changed the national political conversation forever. Chronic disease, free speech,
Speaker 10: government corruption breaking, our addiction to war have moved to
Speaker 10: the center of politics. I can say all have worked
Speaker 10: so hard the last year and a half. I thank
Speaker 10: you for a job well done. Three ka great causes
Speaker 10: drove me. Damn It's race in the first place, primarily,
Speaker 10: and these are the principal causes that persuaded me to
Speaker 10: leave the Democratic Democratic Party and run as an independent
Speaker 10: and now to throw my support the President Trump. The
Speaker 10: causes were free speech, a war in Ukraine, and the
Speaker 10: war on our children. I've already described some of my
Speaker 10: personal experiencesn't struggles with.
Speaker 9: A government censorship industrial complex.
Speaker 10: I want to say a word about the Ukraine war
Speaker 10: the military industrial conplex has provided us with a familiar
Speaker 10: comic book.
Speaker 5: John, Okay, we're gonna We're gonna go out now. He
Speaker 5: should have said all that before. But interesting, he's not.
Speaker 5: He's not ending his campaign.
Speaker 6: He will be on the.
Speaker 5: Ballot in solidly red or solidly blue states, but he's
Speaker 5: removing his name from the ballot in swing states. This
Speaker 5: is fascinating to me because there's a zero percent chance
Speaker 5: of what he said could happen. And you know, in
Speaker 5: a provisional election, I can know you're not gonna wind
Speaker 5: up being president. So he's kind of I don't know,
Speaker 5: I mean, is he's splitting the baby here because he's
Speaker 5: not going to say to his followers that I'm out.
Speaker 5: But if you're an RFK person, we're not in a
Speaker 5: swing We're not a swing state anymore. We're solidly blue,
Speaker 5: solidly blue. Someone just pointed out, let me see here.
Speaker 5: So Biden's stutter is fair game for ridicule. But RFK
Speaker 5: has a medical condition, gotcha do better? Of course they
Speaker 5: put you better, of course, of course. And to be clear,
Speaker 5: I make fun of Joe Biden for being old and
Speaker 5: adult and not being able to follow a teleprompter.
Speaker 6: But I've never made fun of his stutter. I don't
Speaker 6: feel the need to.
Speaker 5: There's so much else to make fun of in that man.
Speaker 5: By the way, he's on vacation again. I know you're
Speaker 5: all gonna be happy to see that. Today on the blog,
Speaker 5: I do have a story that asks the simple question, who,
Speaker 5: who exactly is running the country right now?
Speaker 6: Because uh, yeah, Kamala obviously is not.
Speaker 5: And Biden went from a weekend in Delaware to decide
Speaker 5: to drop out, a long weekend at Camp David to
Speaker 5: relax and rest, and now five days in California to
Speaker 5: relax and rest. So who exactly is running things at
Speaker 5: the White House? I think that's a fair question, because
Speaker 5: certainly we do not have that right there. Hey, hey, Rod,
Speaker 5: I want to play this trum Oh hang on, sorry
Speaker 5: about that.
Speaker 6: I want to play this.
Speaker 5: This happened at the RNC. Betty Johnson took his show
Speaker 5: to the RNC and asked a bunch of people outside
Speaker 5: the DNC or inside what they why they were supporting
Speaker 5: Kamala Harris.
Speaker 6: So just just listen to this.
Speaker 2: Trumper, Kamala What do you think Trump? Kamala Harris?
Speaker 9: Oh God, it's Kamala.
Speaker 8: Definitely yes, yeah, absolutely, what's.
Speaker 7: Your favorite thing Kamala done last four years?
Speaker 2: Honestly died?
Speaker 9: Actually, don't use.
Speaker 2: This, Yeah, Kamala why, well.
Speaker 8: She's.
Speaker 6: Okay, Well, I'm I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4: I'm not super knowledgeable, so I can't really speak too
Speaker 4: much on.
Speaker 6: It because Trump's sucks ass the pretty much same thing.
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, what do you think?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Do you know Tim Wallas he's telling shirts?
Speaker 6: This guy is holding on shirts, he's selling.
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm asking the same question, right, I've been
Speaker 4: doing my research lately. Yeah, so I ain't got I
Speaker 4: ain't a hundred percent yet, so I can't answer that.
Speaker 6: Trumper Kamala huggers he's selling shirt he was.
Speaker 7: What's your favorite thing about the last four years that
Speaker 7: Kamala Harris been vice president?
Speaker 9: She was she was the president.
Speaker 8: Because she was the president vice president.
Speaker 7: Of course, that's a no braina right.
Speaker 6: She's a woman, she's a woman.
Speaker 2: How's it been selling?
Speaker 8: How's it been selling?
Speaker 2: Good shirts?
Speaker 6: And he says, not so much. We just had a
Speaker 6: bunch of police tell us to burn our shirts. Yep, yep, yep.
Speaker 7: Do you not remember when regarding shirts? What happened to
Speaker 7: us on the way back one night. No remember now
Speaker 7: what happened that they were selling stolen T shirts?
Speaker 6: Oh my god, I forgot about that.
Speaker 5: So this guy has like a wagon and a little
Speaker 5: card table and he's literally yelling at people as they're
Speaker 5: leaving the convention.
Speaker 6: Stolen shirts twenty dollars. Stolen shirts twenty dollars. And I
Speaker 6: was like, well, I guess advertising.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 6: We did not buy a shirt, though, So how effective
Speaker 6: it was? You know, how effective was it?
Speaker 8: Really? I mean pretty effective? I thought of like half
Speaker 8: a second more than I ever normally.
Speaker 5: Was you really were gonna like, I'll just buy the
Speaker 5: shirt because it's stolen. I'm buying the hottest shirt in town.
Speaker 8: Marketing?
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, not that good, but yeah, he offered to
Speaker 5: sell us. We offered to sell a stolen shirt, so
Speaker 5: we got that going for us. I did not see
Speaker 5: any political memorabilia that I wanted to buy. I bought
Speaker 5: some buttons at the RNC because they were hilarious and
Speaker 5: I shared them on my social media that that are
Speaker 5: just really funny. And I didn't see anything entertaining in
Speaker 5: the swag there. Did you see any of the crazy
Speaker 5: stuff that we saw?
Speaker 11: Did you?
Speaker 6: I mean did you. I looked at a couple of swag.
Speaker 5: Tables, but I didn't really see anything, and they didn't
Speaker 5: have a bunch of swag inside the event.
Speaker 6: It was it was kind of weird, you know, kind
Speaker 6: of weird.
Speaker 8: Aperiance is your swag?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 6: Okay, the excellent Yeah, jo, So that you have inside
Speaker 6: you is your swag?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Let me let me go back to some of our texters.
Speaker 5: It's an ask me anything about the d NC kind
Speaker 5: of day. We're not going to talk about it anymore
Speaker 5: after today because I'm tired of talking about it, but
Speaker 5: I do want to answer some questions and you can
Speaker 5: text us on our common Spirit health text.
Speaker 6: I have six six N I O, and let me
Speaker 6: go down to where we are.
Speaker 5: Kamalo was strong when talking about prosecuting Trump and Republicans,
Speaker 5: but comes across like a teenage girl when talking about herself,
Speaker 5: swaying and tilting her head.
Speaker 6: This thing keeps updating.
Speaker 5: Hang on, Mandy, did you see the Denver seven fact
Speaker 5: check on police's DNC speech. They must not have received
Speaker 5: this stand down memo. I was very proud of Denver
Speaker 5: seven for doing that. I mean very very proud, very proud.
Speaker 5: Adam Kinzinger has to stay a Republican to stay relevant
Speaker 5: the Democrat Party. Correct, Yes, yes, indeed, our ballots need
Speaker 5: a none of the above option, and if that box
Speaker 5: gets a certain percentage of the total vote, both parties
Speaker 5: have to go back to the drawing board. There are
Speaker 5: multiple European countries that have a no confidence option on
Speaker 5: every ballot, and if you don't like either of the candidates,
Speaker 5: you vote no confidence and the parties have to go
Speaker 5: back and find someone else. Mandy, Seriously, I heard a
Speaker 5: younger person say they prefer the Socialist Party and voting
Speaker 5: for them.
Speaker 6: I asked why.
Speaker 5: They said, because they are very social not kidding, and
Speaker 5: makes me wonder how many people think this? Yeah, how
Speaker 5: far left has the Democratic Party? If JF or RFK
Speaker 5: junior endorses Trump yep, yep, yep yep RFK for CIA director,
Speaker 5: imagine a Kennedy with all those secrets. Really enjoyed your
Speaker 5: coverage at both DNC and RNC. Thanks and darned you, Manny,
Speaker 5: Thank you, you're very welcome. What fell out of Nancy's pants?
Speaker 5: Apparently when Nancy Pelosi was walking up to the podium
Speaker 5: something a note card is what it is, and I've
Speaker 5: looked at the pictures like the Zuppruder film and it
Speaker 5: was indeed a note card. So we will figure out. Yep,
Speaker 5: you've convinced me.
Speaker 6: I'm going to ignore policy and vote for the vibe.
Speaker 6: Thanks again.
Speaker 12: Not.
Speaker 5: I hope people who vote Harris get what they voted for.
Speaker 5: A sad part is they inflict that on me. Alexa
Speaker 5: has this great text, Mandy isn't an ironic. The DNC
Speaker 5: theme was they are not going back yet. The most
Speaker 5: prominent speakers were from the past. Great point, Alexa. And no,
Speaker 5: Chuck did not go because he his head would have
Speaker 5: exploded and he doesn't have the edit button that I have.
Speaker 5: Just to let you know, it would somebody would have
Speaker 5: gotten killed by Chuck. I mean maybe not, but somebody would.
Speaker 5: There would have been a fight. There would have been
Speaker 5: multiple fights, and that's why Chuck did not go. Says here,
Speaker 5: I'll bet you mentioned I'll bet you that last voter
Speaker 5: you mentioned calls yourself an independent but votes liberal all
Speaker 5: the effing time.
Speaker 6: Quite possibly.
Speaker 5: Will the Democrats continue to keep Harris out of the
Speaker 5: public eye if they can, If they can, more hookers
Speaker 5: at the RNC or DNC. Hey, Ron, we didn't run
Speaker 5: into any hookers. I feel like we've done something wrong.
Speaker 5: No hookers, Mandy. I'm scared to death about Democrats being
Speaker 5: in charge of our country for another four years. It's
Speaker 5: like the last three and a half years did not exist.
Speaker 5: But the Republican Party is in such shambles, and there
Speaker 5: are too many people who absolutely hate Trump. I'm voting
Speaker 5: for policies, but unfortunately too many people vote for the
Speaker 5: person instead of the policies. And I'm sorry that when
Speaker 5: I said Alexa, you're Alexa went off and I bet
Speaker 5: I said a whole bunch more off. Yeah, Alexa, play kaway, Yeah,
Speaker 5: Alexa play koway on iHeartMedia.
Speaker 8: On iHeartMedia.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there you go. And Andy, please describe the pizza
Speaker 6: you had one more time. I'm hungry.
Speaker 2: Here we go.
Speaker 5: It was a delicious Chicago thin crust pizza with roasted
Speaker 5: tomatoes chopped up on it, a nice layer of soaprisetta
Speaker 5: and then drizzled with hot honey. Oh my god, it
Speaker 5: was so good, and little blobs of whipped ricotta on
Speaker 5: each piece, and it was party. It was not cut
Speaker 5: into wedges. It was cut into little pieces. And now
Speaker 5: I want that to I want it to.
Speaker 8: As good as the Chicago Dog, though you know, the
Speaker 8: Chicago Dog.
Speaker 6: Was outstanding, Mandy.
Speaker 5: They shouldn't sell swag because they don't believe in capitalists,
Speaker 5: even though most of them are multi millionaires and a
Speaker 5: fewer billionaires. Yeah, swag bag from the DNC would be
Speaker 5: a clean needle and an at home abortion kit.
Speaker 6: I wish that that was Like, I wish that that
Speaker 6: was just funny and not real. So yeah, I wish
Speaker 6: that that was.
Speaker 5: I wish that was something that was actually not, you know,
Speaker 5: not it's it's funny, but it's sadly accurate. Ryan Schuling
Speaker 5: asked me yesterday when I was talking to him on
Speaker 5: his show, what was the most disturbing thing at the
Speaker 5: DNC and the abortion and vasectomy bus that had been
Speaker 5: provided by Planned hairn Hood was really gross to me,
Speaker 5: just gross.
Speaker 6: I mean, the vasectomy thing not that big a deal.
Speaker 5: A lot of vasectames can be reversed, not all of them,
Speaker 5: but most vasectames can be reversed. An abortion, of course, cannot,
Speaker 5: So there you go, Mandy. I tried a few times
Speaker 5: to watch the convention but gave up. I couldn't make
Speaker 5: it through the cringe. What was the cringiest thing for you.
Speaker 5: Cringiest thing, cringiest thing, Aaron.
Speaker 6: What do you think the cringiest thing was?
Speaker 7: Was that something we saw in person or like after
Speaker 7: the fact, like on TV or like a report or something,
Speaker 7: because trying to think, I mean.
Speaker 8: A lot of the stuff with the with the Project
Speaker 8: twenty twenty five prop was to be.
Speaker 6: It was just they were just lying. They were just
Speaker 6: making stuff up.
Speaker 7: On making sure everyone knows how to pronounce Kamala's name
Speaker 7: was a little a little a little cringey.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was that was Yeah.
Speaker 8: With their nieces, that.
Speaker 6: Was Tama la la la. Let's all say it together.
Speaker 5: It was just you know, it's fine, Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 5: Can I get your feeling on rfkjun you're supporting Trump.
Speaker 5: We talked about this a little bit when it kind
Speaker 5: of broke earlier this week that this might happen. I
Speaker 5: think the way he's doing it, he's trying to trying
Speaker 5: to have his cake and eat it too, in that
Speaker 5: he's not fully dropping out. He will be on the
Speaker 5: ballot in red or blue states, but he's going to
Speaker 5: remove his name from swing state ballots, and I think
Speaker 5: that is maybe more confusing than not. If that makes
Speaker 5: sense to you, guys like I don't know. We'll have
Speaker 5: to see if it has any any I don't know,
Speaker 5: any staying power if it ends up mattering.
Speaker 6: So there you go, Mandy, would you.
Speaker 5: Go back to Chicago for a vacation? Is it a
Speaker 5: vacation destination? Absolutely? A Ron and I both loved it.
Speaker 6: We loved it.
Speaker 5: Yesterday we walked seven miles. We got up early after
Speaker 5: a late night and we went and went to the Bean,
Speaker 5: which of course is cloud Gate and we walked over
Speaker 5: from the Bean over the Navy Pier, which was quite
Speaker 5: the hike, but it was a lovely walk down the
Speaker 5: waterfront and everything. We crossed the bridge over the Chicago River.
Speaker 5: I mean it was, and the weather was glorious.
Speaker 7: I had thought about it, and I'm ready to make
Speaker 7: it official. Chicago has the best food scene for me,
Speaker 7: in the dustry, in the country.
Speaker 5: It was outstanding. Every single thing that we ate was
Speaker 5: absolutely delicious.
Speaker 7: I've been to forty nine of the fifty states and
Speaker 7: Chicago has the best food that I've had in the
Speaker 7: entire country.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was. It was outstanding. Outstanding. Mandy. Do you
Speaker 6: mean the planned parenthood, spay and neuter bus.
Speaker 5: Yes, and Andy, that is what I meant right there, Mandy,
Speaker 5: I did a project for the Obama DNC. There was
Speaker 5: an escort liaison. Shut up, shut up, So there was
Speaker 5: a pimp on the payroll. That's crazy, absolutely crazy, Mandy.
Speaker 5: Did you notice that DNC speakers in Harris only talked
Speaker 5: about Kamala's time as Attorney General as a prosecutor. Never
Speaker 5: did they talk about her as a senator, And of
Speaker 5: course they couldn't talk about her as VP. You would
Speaker 5: never know that she was anything other than a prosecutor.
Speaker 5: Exactly right, because what she's doing right now, and I
Speaker 5: will say this, she took credit last night for everything
Speaker 5: good that happened during the Biden administration, but she sure
Speaker 5: doesn't want to actually have a conversation about what she
Speaker 5: actually did, right Mandy.
Speaker 6: How much poop did you see on the streets? None?
Speaker 5: Zero?
Speaker 6: Ay Rod? How many encampments did we see?
Speaker 8: None?
Speaker 6: And zero?
Speaker 8: I don't even think any homeless. Maybe one homeless, maybe.
Speaker 5: One person laying in the park yesterday when we were walking,
Speaker 5: but they didn't appear to have a bunch.
Speaker 6: Of stuff with them. It could just be somebody sleeping
Speaker 6: in the park.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 6: They cleaned up Chicago really really well, didn't know Clinton
Speaker 6: didn't pronounce her name wrong. Also, he did that.
Speaker 5: He slaughtered Kamala's name in his speech. He called her
Speaker 5: Kamala over and over and over again. So obviously Bill
Speaker 5: Clinton is a racist as well as.
Speaker 6: A horn dog. There you go, Mandy. I tried to
Speaker 6: who was talking? Oh, hit it, I'm about to start speaking.
Speaker 6: Oh he's about to start speaking. Everybody has to say
Speaker 6: he's everybody has to say. Blah blah, blah blah blah.
Speaker 6: Here we go.
Speaker 5: We will find out as he is accepting the sort
Speaker 5: of nom or endorsement of.
Speaker 6: Donald Trump.
Speaker 10: We just had a very nice uh endorsement from RFK Junior.
Speaker 8: Bobby and I'll be talking about that.
Speaker 9: We're heading out right after this. We're going to be
Speaker 9: going to Arizona. We'll be talking about that and a
Speaker 9: lot of other things too. But I just want to
Speaker 9: thank everybody, and I want to thank Bobby. Those very nice.
Speaker 9: That was really a very answer. That's big. He's a
Speaker 9: great guy, respected by everybody. So thank you all for
Speaker 9: this incredible welcome we're getting.
Speaker 10: And I'm going to tell Abby here, the next time
Speaker 10: we do this together, he's going to get me.
Speaker 9: A little light up here, gonna give me a little
Speaker 9: light so you can read this a little speech. But
Speaker 9: you know what it does, It makes you speak a
Speaker 9: little bit less. So that's okay too. What I do
Speaker 9: want to thank you all, and I want to thank Javier.
Speaker 9: This is a fantastic restaurant and the reputation is as
Speaker 9: good as it gets, as good as it gets. And
Speaker 9: I'm going to come here next time to eat. Is
Speaker 9: that okay? I will be doing that too. We have
Speaker 9: with US Lieutenant Governor Stavros.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're going to just go to break because when
Speaker 5: we get back, we're changing gears completely for a moment.
Speaker 5: There's a big event tomorrow in Glendale for well season citizens.
Speaker 6: Over sixty five. It's actually really cool. We're going to
Speaker 6: talk to you.
Speaker 5: I lean about that next so stick around. We're going
Speaker 5: to do some news, trafficking.
Speaker 6: And weather right here on KOA.
Speaker 5: It's the thirty fifth annual Salute to Seniors. It is
Speaker 5: part of the Colorado Gerontological Societies thirty fifth celebration and
Speaker 5: joining me now is the executive director of the Colorado
Speaker 5: Gerontological Gerontological Society, Eileen Doherty.
Speaker 6: Eileen, welcome to the show.
Speaker 12: Nuns I'm happy to be here with you.
Speaker 5: First of all, what is the Colorado Gerontological Society. Let's
Speaker 5: start with that.
Speaker 13: Long process organization that was established in nineteen eighty and
Speaker 13: we work in three basic different areas. We work in education,
Speaker 13: training and information. We work in some legislative public policy work.
Speaker 13: And then we do some we don't call them.
Speaker 12: They're like not.
Speaker 13: Direct services in the sense that it's not like a
Speaker 13: home care agency, but we like I have a grant
Speaker 13: program to help people with dental services, and we volunteers
Speaker 13: with telephone buddies, and we deliver Christmas baskets and holiday
Speaker 13: baskets over the holidays. So we do some of those
Speaker 13: kinds of programming, right. And then let's say we do
Speaker 13: some legislative work, mostly at the state level, that sometimes
Speaker 13: we get drawn into the national stuff on Medicare or
Speaker 13: Social Security as well.
Speaker 5: I think that's all incredibly important because I used to
Speaker 5: sell Medicare supplements.
Speaker 6: This is where this is coming from, what I'm about
Speaker 6: to say.
Speaker 5: And just at a point when some seniors, certainly not
Speaker 5: all seniors, maybe have some trouble grasping things right, understanding
Speaker 5: things complicated new, we throw them into the medicare system,
Speaker 5: which is completely different and complicated. I'm glad you guys
Speaker 5: work on that kind of stuff. Let's talk about the
Speaker 5: thirty fifty and it will salute to seniors. What is
Speaker 5: this event all about?
Speaker 13: So it's an senior expo, if youll, and we've always
Speaker 13: prided ourselves in making it a fun event that is
Speaker 13: also then filled with lots of education, information and resources.
Speaker 13: So there's entertainment, there's lots of games. There's lots of
Speaker 13: food vendors joining us this year, so there'll be a
Speaker 13: lot of opportunity to just experience different things, play trivia,
Speaker 13: play bingo. We're doing a new program this year called Triangles,
Speaker 13: which is a math program, so there'll be.
Speaker 12: Lots of things to do.
Speaker 13: And we have about fifty different vendors that have joined
Speaker 13: us with information on resources for seniors as well. So
Speaker 13: they range the gamut from housing to medical alert equipment
Speaker 13: to a wide variety of things home care agencies, et cetera.
Speaker 5: So pretty much anything you would need or yourself or
Speaker 5: an aging parent. It sounds like you're going to be
Speaker 5: able to get some information here at this event. Yes,
Speaker 5: you're also giving away a couple of pairs of Broncos tickets.
Speaker 5: I mean, you've got some fun stuff going on. Is
Speaker 5: there going to be food? Is there going to be music?
Speaker 5: Is it going to be a fun party?
Speaker 12: Be a fun party? So yes, Sprouts and Target and.
Speaker 13: Sam's Club are all donating snack kinds of food and drinks,
Speaker 13: so there's lots of snacks and foods going on. There's
Speaker 13: instrums candy, so we've got lots of good support from
Speaker 13: the food vendors. There will be some entertainment. Eddie Kendrick
Speaker 13: from Pork Collins, who's a guitar player, will be joining
Speaker 13: us with some country music. And then there'll be a
Speaker 13: trio that will play like rock and kind of soft music.
Speaker 13: As I said, there's bingo. Additionally, the Ronco tickets are
Speaker 13: preseason tickets. There's also lots of drawings. Sprouts is giving
Speaker 13: away one hundred dollars a couple of hundred dollars gift cards,
Speaker 13: as Giano's given away one hundred dollars gift card. UH

Speaker 13: and outside your car.
Speaker 6: I want one of those, miss yes, exactly.
Speaker 12: Enter toy, so sorry, it'll be available for somebody else.
Speaker 13: We also got a large number of candles and plants
Speaker 13: and various things donated from Target, and so there'll be
Speaker 13: lots and lots of drawings and different things to give
Speaker 13: away Tomorrow.
Speaker 5: I put a link to the blog on my blog
Speaker 5: at mandy'sblog dot com to your website so people can
Speaker 5: sign up. Do you have to r s VP? Does
Speaker 5: it cost anything to come? What does that process look like?
Speaker 13: You do not have to r s VP, it's suggested,
Speaker 13: but at this like date, don't worry about it.
Speaker 12: The event is free.
Speaker 13: Additionally, we are at the Greek Events Center, which is
Speaker 13: at forty six to ten East Alameda, so there is
Speaker 13: parking on the Greek Events campus. Additionally, we have some
Speaker 13: parking that's available at the Jewish Community Center, which is
Speaker 13: on the other side of Dallias Street and Leedsdale, and
Speaker 13: there's also parking at Augustana Lutheran Church in of Age
Speaker 13: is going to rotate their buses, so there'll be a
Speaker 13: central place where you can get picked up and you
Speaker 13: just park your car in one of those lots and
Speaker 13: then they'll bring you up to the campus, so that
Speaker 13: hopefully people will be able to navigate that easier. The
Speaker 13: other thing I've forgot to mention in terms of things
Speaker 13: to do, which again I wish I had wasn't running
Speaker 13: the show.
Speaker 12: But the Assumption Cathedral Church.
Speaker 13: Is going to be doing a guided tour of the
Speaker 13: church with and if you have never been in the church,
Speaker 13: there's an incredible amount of art and statuary there and
Speaker 13: they're going to be running a tour of that, so
Speaker 13: that's another feature. Additionally, Forny Museum of Transportation is going
Speaker 13: to be bringing four classic cars, so if you're into
Speaker 13: old cars.
Speaker 12: Come join us and talk with the folks from forty
Speaker 12: so there are lots of things to do. There will
Speaker 12: also be a farmer's market. It sounds photo booth.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it sounds like a great way to spend a day.
Speaker 6: I mean a great way.
Speaker 5: It starts at nine thirty goes until three. I've got
Speaker 5: a link to the website. The website is Senioranswers dot
Speaker 5: org and from there it's very easy to find the
Speaker 5: information about the event. Eileen, this sounds absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 6: I hope you have an.
Speaker 5: Absolutely smashing Saturday as you celebrate seniors at the thirty
Speaker 5: five annual Salute to Seniors event.
Speaker 6: Thank you so much for making time for it.
Speaker 12: Hey, thank you how all your listeners can join us.
Speaker 5: All right, that is Eileen Doherty, thank you so much.
Speaker 5: And that sounds like a very nice way to spend
Speaker 5: a day with your with your folks. If your folks
Speaker 5: are older, or maybe you're getting older, head on down
Speaker 5: and get all that good information. Now, hey, Rod, how
Speaker 5: about now we're trying to take care of a tech issue. Now, okay,
Speaker 5: let's take a quick time out. We will be right
Speaker 5: back after this. Kamala Harris said that she whispered, she
Speaker 5: was the voice that whispered in Joe Biden's ear about
Speaker 5: withdrawing from Afghanistan, essentially saying, yeah, do it. So I
Speaker 5: just thought, in the spirit of you know, accountability for
Speaker 5: hers and she implied that she was the one that
Speaker 5: kind of pushed that over the edge, thought we do
Speaker 5: a little check in real quick in Afghanistan. I know,
Speaker 5: we don't talk about Afghanistan much because it's gone back.
Speaker 6: To being a complete hell whole.
Speaker 5: But as long as they don't allow terrorists to launch
Speaker 5: another attack on our country, what business is it of
Speaker 5: mine if Afghanistan wants to be a hell hole?
Speaker 6: You know, I do want to share with you some
Speaker 6: of the new laws that.
Speaker 5: Have recently been passed in Afghanistan thanks to the Party
Speaker 5: of Women who decided to desert Afghanistan with no plan
Speaker 5: to maintain security. The Taliban rulers have issued new rules
Speaker 5: as part of its propagation of virtue and the prevention
Speaker 5: of vice laws. A new one hundred and fourteen page
Speaker 5: thirty five article document has been seen by the Associated Press.
Speaker 5: It's the first formal declaration of vice and virtue laws
Speaker 5: in Afghanistan since the takeover. The laws empower the Ministry
Speaker 5: of Vice and Virtue to be at the forefront of
Speaker 5: regulating personal conduct, administering punishments like warnings or arrest if
Speaker 5: enforcers alleged that Afghans had broken the law. Article thirteen,
Speaker 5: that's the fun one that relates to women. It says
Speaker 5: it is mandatory for a woman to veil her body
Speaker 5: at all times in public, and that a face covering
Speaker 5: is essential to avoid temptation and tempting others. Clothing should
Speaker 5: not be thin, tight or short. Women should veil themselves
Speaker 5: in front of all male strangers, including Muslims, and in
Speaker 5: front of all non Muslims to avoid being corrupted. A
Speaker 5: woman's voice is deemed intimate and so should not be
Speaker 5: heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is
Speaker 5: forbidden for women to look at men they are not
Speaker 5: related to by blood or marriage, and vice versa. Article
Speaker 5: seventeen bans the publication of images of living beings, threatening
Speaker 5: an already fragile Afghan media landscape. Article nineteen bans the
Speaker 5: playing of music, the insportation of solo female travelers, and
Speaker 5: the mixing of men and women who are not related.
Speaker 6: To each other.
Speaker 5: The law also obliges passengers and drivers to perform prayers
Speaker 5: at designated times. According to the ministry website, the promotion
Speaker 5: of virtue includes prayer aligning the character and behavior of
Speaker 5: Muslims with Islamic law, encouraging women to wear a job,
Speaker 5: and inviting.
Speaker 6: People to comply with the five Pillars of Islam.
Speaker 5: It also says the elimination of vice involves prohibiting people
Speaker 5: from doing things.
Speaker 6: Forbidden by Islamic law. So that seems to be going well.
Speaker 5: You know, I remember back when the Taliban took over
Speaker 5: and the New York Times had a story that was like, hey,
Speaker 5: you know what, They're going to be awesome for women's
Speaker 5: rights this time.
Speaker 6: Yeah, don't pay attention to what.
Speaker 5: They did way back then before we depose them and
Speaker 5: actually instituted laws that allowed women to do crazy things
Speaker 5: like be in.
Speaker 6: The streets and talk.
Speaker 5: Like have jobs, go to school, crazy nutty stuff that
Speaker 5: happened in the twenty years that we were running Afghanistan.
Speaker 5: And I actually feel incredibly sorry for the women who
Speaker 5: lived through those twenty years because now they have gone
Speaker 5: right back.
Speaker 6: Talk about taking something back, you know.
Speaker 5: But if past performance is any indication of future behavior,
Speaker 5: and don't you always hear that on commercials for things
Speaker 5: like financial services, past.
Speaker 6: Performance is not an indication of future behavior.
Speaker 5: Well, you can look at someone's past history and unless
Speaker 5: they have, you know, fully explained their evolution of their
Speaker 5: prior positions. And I'm just throw this out here totally unconnected.
Speaker 5: Say candidate president or vice president Harris. She just a
Speaker 5: few years ago wanted a bandfracking, was in favor of
Speaker 5: defunding the police. She actually urged people to donate to
Speaker 5: a bail fund as they were burning Minneapolis down to
Speaker 5: get them out of jail so they could burn more stuff.
Speaker 5: She has had all these wild positions. She wants to
Speaker 5: reimagine ice, get rid of ice. She wants to decriminalize
Speaker 5: coming over the southern border at least.
Speaker 6: I mean back in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 5: So if you think you know past performance and statements
Speaker 5: would be an indication of future performance, just keep all
Speaker 5: that in mind. This person just asked, you think OnlyFans
Speaker 5: Afghanistan will be successful.
Speaker 6: Hmmm hmm, yeah, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I do not know.
Speaker 5: Axios in Trump officials back away from the twenty twenty
Speaker 5: Taliban peace deal after withdrawal.
Speaker 6: Chaos.
Speaker 5: So the Trump administration, from what I understand, was very
Speaker 5: firm on leaving enough for is there to maintain stability.
Speaker 5: And last I saw that was about fifteen hundred forces
Speaker 5: was what they estimated they would need to have in
Speaker 5: place just to maintain stability, and none of those were
Speaker 5: left there, none of those. Biden used that as an
Speaker 5: excuse to follow through with the agreement. He said, we
Speaker 5: don't want to fight with the Taliban, there would be
Speaker 5: more troops required. And now Biden has blamed Trump for
Speaker 5: the chaos in Afghanistan, saying the former president in bolden
Speaker 5: the Taliban and left the insurgency group in the strongest
Speaker 5: position militarily since two thousand and three. The reality is
Speaker 5: is that we never decimated and defeated the Taliban, and
Speaker 5: for eight years of that. That was Barack Obama's job
Speaker 5: for eight years prior to Trump. Just throwing that out there,
Speaker 5: just throwing it out there.
Speaker 6: We will be right back it is. Ask me anything
Speaker 6: about the DNC.
Speaker 5: After a flurry of questions, they've calmed down, So your questions,
Speaker 5: new questions coming up next.
Speaker 6: Keep it right here on KOWA.
Speaker 1: The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Bell and Pollock
Speaker 1: Accident and injury Lawyers.
Speaker 2: No, it's Mandy Connell.
Speaker 9: Andy Condall on Kola.
Speaker 3: Ninem god way, can the nicety prey Bendy Donald Keith
Speaker 3: you sad thing?
Speaker 6: Welcome, well for welcome. We are working our way through
Speaker 6: a Friday, third hour of the show.
Speaker 5: And at the beginning of the show, I said, okay,
Speaker 5: let's have our last conversations about the DNC today. I
Speaker 5: am no longer at the party, So if you'd like
Speaker 5: me to pee in the punch bowl, just let me
Speaker 5: know what you'd like to know about the DNC. You
Speaker 5: can text those to the Common Spirit Health text line
Speaker 5: at five sixty six nine oh. That's five six six
Speaker 5: nine oh. And I will answer those questions. Who the
Speaker 5: heck is Congressman Joe the Goose. Is he related to
Speaker 5: Bronco Bomber? Maybe Camil or I don't know, Oh, Camil
Speaker 5: La Harris got it now? Joanah Goose one of the
Speaker 5: members of the Colorado Coalition who totally never responded to
Speaker 5: our request to come on the show. Hey, Rod, let's
Speaker 5: threw some people under the bus real quick, okay, because
Speaker 5: you reached out to every member of the Democratic Party
Speaker 5: that is in the congressional delegation here from Colorado.
Speaker 6: And what were the responses.
Speaker 7: Well, obviously, like you mentioned, we had we had the
Speaker 7: two senators on Senator to Hickenlooper and and we appreciated
Speaker 7: both of those fantastic interviews.
Speaker 8: Governor Polis dot Buy as well.
Speaker 6: Appreciate that.
Speaker 7: Representative Peterson I believe did not respond at all. Let
Speaker 7: me one hundred percent confirm that stand by. In the meantime,
Speaker 7: I will tell you that it's Peterson Patterson.
Speaker 8: Okay.
Speaker 7: Week week of we could not find the right scheduling
Speaker 7: for Representative Crow. There was an effort there, but it
Speaker 7: wound up turning in to no appearance. That worked out
Speaker 7: time wise, yep. And the same for Representative to Get
Speaker 7: And I believe let me double check here, I believe
Speaker 7: we didn't get Yeah, we got absolutely nothing from from
Speaker 7: Negoose's team.
Speaker 8: Representative ne Goose.
Speaker 5: Nothing, just crickets chirping. Couldn't be bothered to even.
Speaker 7: Say counting here we got one, two, three total emails
Speaker 7: to no Goose's team, the initial email, all the details,
Speaker 7: two follow ups and nothing.
Speaker 8: Same with Representative Patterson.
Speaker 7: And then it was crow and to get with week
Speaker 7: of communication but cannot find the right scheduling time.
Speaker 9: Okay, there we go.
Speaker 14: Just letting you know.
Speaker 5: We were trying to get everybody on and as you heard,
Speaker 5: I was very respectful. I let people make their points.
Speaker 5: I didn't inject my opinion in any evident until Michael
Speaker 5: Bennett said we needed a new agency. And then I
Speaker 5: had to stop that nonsense. Right then I was like, no,
Speaker 5: no more agencies. But then he said I could pick
Speaker 5: one to get rid of. I chose the irs. He said, No,
Speaker 5: this is how negotiations happened, people. This is what the
Speaker 5: back and forth is all about.
Speaker 6: Mandy. If you apply this is from the text line.
Speaker 5: If you apply past performance is an indicator of future
Speaker 5: performance of Harris, you must apply that to Trump as well.
Speaker 5: So we may have riots, incited, denigration of individuals, disrespect
Speaker 5: for NATO, friendship with Putin, and, in Trump's words, a
Speaker 5: dictatorship for at least a day. Right, Okay, I'll break
Speaker 5: this down. I would go back to the time when
Speaker 5: the economy was chugging along. I would go back to
Speaker 5: an administration that was slowly but surely rolling back useless
Speaker 5: regulations that are still on the books by passing a
Speaker 5: If you pass a regulation, well you have to get
Speaker 5: rid of two.
Speaker 6: I would go back to that.
Speaker 5: I would go back to a president who really wanted
Speaker 5: to unleash all of our energy opportunities.
Speaker 6: I would go back to that.
Speaker 5: I would go back to a president who didn't necessarily
Speaker 5: want to create edicts that tell me I have to
Speaker 5: buy an electric car after a certain year. I would
Speaker 5: absolutely go back to that. I would go back to
Speaker 5: a lot of these things. And for Trump, disrespect for
Speaker 5: NATO is comical. Do you know what Trump did with NATO?
Speaker 5: Trump did with NATO what I have been asking anyone
Speaker 5: to do with NATO for like twenty years. Trump told NATO,
Speaker 5: we are tired of being your unlimited piggybank for your defense.
Speaker 5: And while you're providing all of these neat services for
Speaker 5: your people. We are expected to end your crappy ass
Speaker 5: countries if you get into any kind of trouble because you.
Speaker 6: Don't spend what you have committed.
Speaker 5: I don't even know how many years ago they were
Speaker 5: not spending even two percent of GDP on their defense.
Speaker 5: They were relying on us to take care of them.
Speaker 5: And when Trump threw the gauntlet, guess what happened. Guess
Speaker 5: who's spending more on their own defense NATO members.
Speaker 2: Huh.
Speaker 6: Imagine that if.
Speaker 5: Disrespecting someone is asking them to pay a bill they've
Speaker 5: promised to pay, then disrespect away.
Speaker 6: Just disrespect away.
Speaker 5: And as for being Putin's friend, he certainly wasn't comfortable
Speaker 5: rolling into Ukraine while Trump was president. As a matter
Speaker 5: of fact, let's think we'll just go back and remember together.
Speaker 5: Since we're all going back in time to remember past performance,
Speaker 5: let's talk about all of the wars that broke out
Speaker 5: with our allies connected to them during the Trump administration. Nope,
Speaker 5: there aren't any, are not Nope, Nope they're not there.
Speaker 5: So yeah, Trump, You guys know how I feel about him.
Speaker 5: It pains me sometimes to have to defend him. But
Speaker 5: policy wise, there's no comparison, absolutely not. I got a
Speaker 5: text message from a friend of mine this morning said, Mandy,
Speaker 5: I'm beginning to think that the Republicans are trying to
Speaker 5: lose this election because they know that on the trajectory
Speaker 5: we're going with our debt, we are going to spend
Speaker 5: ourselves into insolvency, which will lead us to a very
Speaker 5: dark place in the United States of America. That's how,
Speaker 5: by the way, that's how empires go out right, I mean,
Speaker 5: they fall and then very dark times.
Speaker 6: The dark ages came after the fall of the Roman
Speaker 6: Empire kind of thing.
Speaker 5: And I was like, I wish I could say I
Speaker 5: thought you were wrong, because policy wise, what we do
Speaker 5: know about Kamala Harris was so bad when she rolled
Speaker 5: it out last Friday night that the media immediately stopped
Speaker 5: talking about it.
Speaker 6: Do you know how many.
Speaker 5: Times I heard someone anyone at the DNC talking about
Speaker 5: her ridiculous ideas to give people twenty five thousand dollars
Speaker 5: for their first time only certain home buyers, by the way, certain,
Speaker 5: not all. Only certain home buyers would get twenty five
Speaker 5: thousand dollars to buy a home in a housing market
Speaker 5: that is already distorted because of the already high levels
Speaker 5: of demand and low levels of supply. She is an
Speaker 5: economic idiot, and Trump maybe a lot of things. And
Speaker 5: he's a big spender too. I want to be clear
Speaker 5: about that. We've got to get somebody serious about debt.
Speaker 5: But all she's talking about is more giveaways, more spending.
Speaker 6: Let us do this for you. We're gonna take care
Speaker 6: of you. I'll be your mam la.
Speaker 5: And yeah, I'll take Trump all day long over all
Speaker 5: of that, even with all of his obvious and glaring flaws,
Speaker 5: I will one hundred percent take those policies all day long.
Speaker 6: I can't wait.
Speaker 5: Until every single state codifies abortion into their constitution so
Speaker 5: we can stop talking about it. And I truly believe
Speaker 5: that that is going to happen, if not by next year,
Speaker 5: surely after that, as politicians start losing races, as women
Speaker 5: start saying, wait a minute, we want options, and like
Speaker 5: it or not, this is a pro choice country we
Speaker 5: live in absolutely one hundred percent. So yeah, anyway, I
Speaker 5: got to take a quick time out, be right back.
Speaker 5: You can text me your questions about the DNA see
Speaker 5: two five six.
Speaker 6: Six nine zero. We will get those when we get back.
Speaker 5: Keep it on Kowa coming up at two thirty, Representative
Speaker 5: Lisa Frizzell is joining us. Not only did she used
Speaker 5: to be Douglas County's county assessor, giving her special insight
Speaker 5: into property taxes, she's going to give us a preview
Speaker 5: of the upcoming special session where the legislature is going
Speaker 5: to try and prevent us the voters from slapping some
Speaker 5: significant handcuffs on them. So we'll get the latest from
Speaker 5: her about that in just a few minutes. I want
Speaker 5: to answer some questions about the DNC. It has asked
Speaker 5: me anything about the DNC. Now's your chance. We're not
Speaker 5: going to talk about it anymore after today because.
Speaker 6: I'm done this one. Was the DNC really a clown
Speaker 6: show as appeared on TV? It really wasn't.
Speaker 5: And you know who was missing a red I thought
Speaker 5: about this, yes, last night as we were flying home.
Speaker 5: Do you know what we didn't see at the DNC
Speaker 5: drag queens? We didn't see, Yeah, we didn't see any queens.
Speaker 5: We didn't see any over the top. We didn't see
Speaker 5: like a parade of trans people. I'm sure there was
Speaker 5: trans people there. We didn't see the most extreme parts
Speaker 5: of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 6: And I thought that that was by design.
Speaker 5: The DNC was all designed to tell you that the
Speaker 5: DNC is just like us, like like democrats.
Speaker 6: We're just the same. We're just like you. We love freedom.
Speaker 6: Look at us wave a flag, look at us. We
Speaker 6: wag flags too, just like you. And I think it.
Speaker 6: Actually they did a really good job with that, a
Speaker 6: really good job with that. So here we go. Let
Speaker 6: me rip through some of these questions.
Speaker 5: Mandy, is it true that Trump is going to make
Speaker 5: transgender illegal or take away transgendered rights?
Speaker 6: So it is just for trans kids?
Speaker 5: Okay, No, no, we're not making someone illegal because they're transgender.
Speaker 5: What is being discussed right now, and not just by
Speaker 5: the Trump campaign, is limiting access to medical gender affirming
Speaker 5: care for children because the science is not there, the
Speaker 5: science behind transitioning.
Speaker 6: A young child without their.
Speaker 5: Ability to understand that you are making them sterile, possibly
Speaker 5: unable to experience sexual joy, and making them a permanent
Speaker 5: medical patient.
Speaker 6: You can't do that to children. So I don't know
Speaker 6: what we're looking at.
Speaker 5: I'm hoping the medical you know, people actually decide that
Speaker 5: the evidence is not there, because now after the cast
Speaker 5: review in the UK, we do know that the evidence
Speaker 5: is not there.
Speaker 6: And we're hurting people. We're hurting children.
Speaker 5: And if you just look, if you google de transitioners,
Speaker 5: you would be shocked at how many of these people
Speaker 5: physically look exactly like women. You know, you look at them,
Speaker 5: they look exactly like women. But they're heartbreaking stories of
Speaker 5: what they've gone through that they now live with constant pain,
Speaker 5: trying to be turned into cosmetically a woman. They're horrifying,
Speaker 5: absolutely horrifying, and they're there. So no, they're not making
Speaker 5: transgender people illegal. We're just looking at curtailing the mutilation
Speaker 5: of children before they're old enough to make that choice
Speaker 5: for themselves.
Speaker 6: According to Kamala, it would seem Trump has been in charge.
Speaker 6: Time for a change.
Speaker 5: No, it's a new way forward, a new way, new way,
Speaker 5: even though she's actually part of the administration that's been
Speaker 5: running things for four years, a new way forward. Kamala
Speaker 5: is getting whiter and whiter every day. See her makeup.
Speaker 6: I don't think that's accurate.
Speaker 5: I think she still looks like a woman of Southeastern
Speaker 5: and Jamaican descent. I thought she looked great, but I
Speaker 5: got to tell you, I realize that stylists are telling
Speaker 5: power suits like power suit, power suit but my god,
Speaker 5: her clothing is boring, and I wish that they would
Speaker 5: do something about that, at least a little bit. Hang on,
Speaker 5: let me turn this so it only updates every sixty seconds,
Speaker 5: so I can get these questions in before they roll through.
Speaker 6: Let me do this.
Speaker 5: Let me see here, Mandy, aren't we the current Aren't
Speaker 5: we the largest energy producer in the world. Yes, we are,
Speaker 5: but we have a whole bunch more energy that we
Speaker 5: could tap into if you want to see a shift
Speaker 5: in geopolitical strength. If we absolutely crank up the spickets
Speaker 5: on oil and gas, we could drive down the cost
Speaker 5: of energy, which is not ideal for energy companies, I
Speaker 5: get it, But we could drive down the cost of
Speaker 5: energy to a point that Russia would.
Speaker 6: Be severely, severely.
Speaker 5: Hurt because the vast majority of their economic output comes.
Speaker 6: From the sale of oil.
Speaker 5: We could uh newter some of the most I don't know,
Speaker 5: irritating Middle Eastern countries that currently have a ton of
Speaker 5: money because of their oil revenues.
Speaker 6: So uh yeah, there you go. Mandy.
Speaker 5: Just saw a dude that went all in on the
Speaker 5: broccoli cut died it green and everything.
Speaker 6: Oh no, you guys, stop it, stop it, stop it.
Speaker 6: Stop it. Stop It look to me that instead of
Speaker 6: abortion pills.
Speaker 5: And vasectomy freebies, I should have handed out ozempic. Never
Speaker 5: seen so much beef in all my life. I am
Speaker 5: going to disagree with that. And a Rod, I want
Speaker 5: your opinion. I there, of course there was heavy people, right,
Speaker 5: there's heavy people everywhere. I thought that the crowd looked
Speaker 5: most for the most part, pretty fit.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 6: It wasn't like a bunch of you know, it wasn't
Speaker 6: a bunch of choky monkeys.
Speaker 5: There were some heavy people there, but overall I thought
Speaker 5: the crowd was an attractive crowd, although I will say
Speaker 5: the R and C was more attractive people traditionally like
Speaker 5: in a traditionally attractive sense. I didn't know that, But
Speaker 5: I don't think there was a bunch of people who
Speaker 5: should have been on a zembic. Maybe you saw it
Speaker 5: on TV.
Speaker 6: I don't know. Mandy and a Rod, two questions for you.
Speaker 5: Were you embarrassed as color Ridden's After Polis's speech, I
Speaker 5: was angry. I was infuriated by his speech because he
Speaker 5: knew he was lying. I knew he was lying, but
Speaker 5: he still did it every way anyway, just making it sure,
Speaker 5: you know, never doubt that Jared Poulis can jump right
Speaker 5: into the political pool and play second.
Speaker 6: Playing thorns and roses.
Speaker 5: Can you point out the number one positive and the
Speaker 5: number one negative from your experience at the DNC thanks
Speaker 5: one by Wednesday night, listening to some of the speeches
Speaker 5: was killing me, killing me the rose.
Speaker 6: I actually met some really.
Speaker 5: Nice people, very nice rank and file, nice people, people
Speaker 5: in the media, just random people.
Speaker 6: The people there were very nice. We'll be right back.
Speaker 5: There is going to be a lot of stuff at
Speaker 5: the Capitol and they're going to be trying to sort
Speaker 5: out a property tax compromise that would lead to Michael
Speaker 5: Fields from Advance Colorado. We talked to Christy Burton Brown
Speaker 5: about this last week about what Advance because she's with
Speaker 5: Advance as well, and they seem to feel confident that
Speaker 5: they are going to be able to strike a deal
Speaker 5: that would inspire them.
Speaker 6: To pull these ballot measures off the ballot.
Speaker 5: And joining me now is a member of the House,
Speaker 5: Colorado House who also has a lot of knowledge about
Speaker 5: this particular issue because she was the former county assessor
Speaker 5: for Douglas County.
Speaker 6: Lisa Frazzelle. Welcome to the show, and let's start there.
Speaker 5: Let's start with your experience as a counting assessor, because
Speaker 5: your county of which I am a part, got crushed
Speaker 5: by these property tax increases.
Speaker 6: Mine went up forty percent four d percent.
Speaker 5: So what do you bring as an assessor to this
Speaker 5: conversation that made you think is lacking?
Speaker 15: Well, I mean able and Mandy, thanks so much for
Speaker 15: having me on. It's great to talk to you today.
Speaker 14: You know, I bring a lot of kind of the
Speaker 14: nuts and bolts detail understanding of how this process works,
Speaker 14: this property tax property valuation process works. And so for example,
Speaker 14: when we're talking about changing the rates the assessment rates
Speaker 14: for non residential property, for some reason, I just think
Speaker 14: this is really unfortunate. The draft bill, and actually the
Speaker 14: bill is, it's going to be introduced on Monday, bifurcates.
Speaker 15: Non residential property by class.
Speaker 14: So it gives one assessment rate for commercial property, another
Speaker 14: assessment rate for industrial property, another assessment rate.
Speaker 15: For vacant land. And that is extremely.
Speaker 14: Confusing to people and especially those property owners, and it's
Speaker 14: candidly just ridiculous. So I'm hoping too, I'm going to
Speaker 14: be running an amendment to fix that. Hopefully the bill
Speaker 14: sponsors will do that. Themselves that I don't actually think
Speaker 14: that they're planning.
Speaker 7: On doing that.
Speaker 5: Now, you are a member of the Republican Party. You
Speaker 5: are hopelessly outnumbered in the House of Representatives right now.
Speaker 5: But have you been privy to any of the conversations
Speaker 5: that are happening right now in advance of the special session?
Speaker 6: I have a story on the blog today.
Speaker 5: That apparently the Democratic Caucus has been meeting quite often
Speaker 5: in private, which I find very, very very concerning because
Speaker 5: because of their majorities, there's a chance that anything that
Speaker 5: comes out of those private meetings could end up being
Speaker 5: the legislation.
Speaker 6: Have you been privy to any of those conversations. Is
Speaker 6: anybody talking to you.
Speaker 5: From the Democratic Party and getting your input?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 6: Oh, well, okay, then I thought.
Speaker 5: There's going to be more of that answer, like, yes,
Speaker 5: but it's early in the you know, And so do
Speaker 5: you think they're going to be able to get this
Speaker 5: compromise that I'm not even sure who negotiated this compromise
Speaker 5: in the first place.
Speaker 6: I'm a little clear.
Speaker 5: I'm not clear on the history of where this sort
Speaker 5: of compromise that we're taking to the special session came from.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so I think that's a great question, and it's
Speaker 14: also one that I'm not completely clear on either. And
Speaker 14: I apologize for my abrupt answer before, but literally no,
Speaker 14: I have not done at the table in this conversation.
Speaker 14: I was very much part of the conversation with two
Speaker 14: thirty three, which passed on the last day of session.
Speaker 14: Put my name on that bill because I believe that
Speaker 14: we were working to create a really solid framework. I
Speaker 14: also didn't believe that it went far enough, but we negotiated.
Speaker 14: Barbara Kirkmeer and Senator Barbara Kirkmeyer and I negotiated with
Speaker 14: the Democrats really strenuously, and we were able to get
Speaker 14: some great concessions for our citizens. It is really important
Speaker 14: to understand that we are in the super minority in
Speaker 14: the House and almost a super minority in the Senate
Speaker 14: with a Democrat governor, and so the change that we're
Speaker 14: actually able to effect is not great. But we were
Speaker 14: able to leverage.
Speaker 15: Everything that we could, and I was, you know, it
Speaker 15: didn't go far enough that it was better than what we.
Speaker 14: Had, which was raised rising property taxes. Again, the thing
Speaker 14: that's really and this is really important for your listeners
Speaker 14: to understand, Nandy, is that Gallagher was repealed in twenty twenty.
Speaker 14: That was a bill that the Democrats led, a referendum
Speaker 14: coming out of the legislature that the Democrats led. They
Speaker 14: promised that they were going to work to replace it.
Speaker 14: They have had four years to replace it and they
Speaker 14: have not. They have created a band and they created
Speaker 14: a band aid in twenty twenty one, they created another
Speaker 14: band aid in twenty twenty two, and in twenty twenty
Speaker 14: three we saw the disaster that was Proposition Hh. Yeah,
Speaker 14: here we are, and so I am very frustrated listening
Speaker 14: to the Democrats today and all last week talk about
Speaker 14: how they were being forced to negotiate with Michael Fields
Speaker 14: and Colorado Concern.
Speaker 9: Here's the thing.
Speaker 15: If Michael Fields and Colorado Concern, who have been at.
Speaker 14: The table running initiatives in twenty twenty one to force
Speaker 14: the Democrats to come to the table and Laura assessinaries
Speaker 14: in twenty twenty two, they ran initiatives before the title
Speaker 14: Board to get the Democrats to come to the table
Speaker 14: at the end of session and again provide property tax relief.
Speaker 14: They did it last year and we got Proposition ahh.
Speaker 15: They had to do it again. The only reason why
Speaker 15: we have had any property.
Speaker 14: Tax relief from between today and twenty twenty is because
Speaker 14: of Colorado concern and Michael Fields.
Speaker 15: And you know what we should be thinking for.
Speaker 5: I agree, and I find it a little challenging to
Speaker 5: hear from people when Michael says, look, if they pass
Speaker 5: this bill, as we've talked about it, then we're going
Speaker 5: to pull these ballot initiatives.
Speaker 6: And a lot of people don't understand that. You know,
Speaker 6: a lot of people are saying, well, we want to
Speaker 6: vote on it, we want to vote on it. It
Speaker 6: is not a sure thing. It is not a done deal.
Speaker 6: It costs a ton of money.
Speaker 5: And if you don't think that, you are going to
Speaker 5: be swamped with millions and millions of dollars in advertising
Speaker 5: against these initiatives. They're going to tell you that if
Speaker 5: you pass these, if you vote for this, we're going
Speaker 5: to have to fire every teacher and every police officer
Speaker 5: in our town. That is exactly what is going to happen.
Speaker 5: So it is not a done deal. It is not
Speaker 5: a sure thing. And if we can get a lot
Speaker 5: of what they're proposing, I'll take it one hundred percent.
Speaker 6: I will take it. So, Lisa, what would you like
Speaker 6: to see come out of this special session.
Speaker 14: I want Actually, what the governor is asking for is
Speaker 14: property tax relief for the citizens of Colorado.
Speaker 15: We need to improve on what we started with two
Speaker 15: thirty three. We need to not have a lot of theatrics.
Speaker 14: We need to not have a lot of statement vanity bills,
Speaker 14: which is happening. We need to get to work, do
Speaker 14: this and get out. People don't understand. These special sessions
Speaker 14: are expensive. They're very expensive, and so you know, we've
Speaker 14: wasted enough taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 15: Let's move on.
Speaker 5: So are people filing bills unrelated to this in the
Speaker 5: special session or are they filing bills they're somehow what
Speaker 5: their version of what they'd like to have happened.
Speaker 14: Both we're seeing bills that are unrelated to the negotiated bill.
Speaker 14: There are going to be anywhere from ten to twenty
Speaker 14: bill additional bills that are introduced on Monday in both
Speaker 14: the House and the Senate. One of the ones that
Speaker 14: I find particularly frustrating is coming out of two very
Speaker 14: extreme Democrats. And what it does is it says that
Speaker 14: the framework from two thirty three and this negotiated bill
Speaker 14: only applies to primary residences.
Speaker 15: And I think that's fascinating.
Speaker 14: So it only applies to the primary primary residences and
Speaker 14: everybody else, you know, has to.
Speaker 9: Pay more.
Speaker 13: Well, what.
Speaker 14: These are the people who who are dumputting down their
Speaker 14: arms about affordable housing all the time.
Speaker 15: And what I apparently they didn't understand is this particular
Speaker 15: bill will in and of itself raise rents.
Speaker 5: Yeah oh yeah, yeah yeah, And that sounds to me
Speaker 5: like they're going after people with short term rental properties also.
Speaker 5: Would they be scooped up in this higher tax rate? Wow,
Speaker 5: that's really big. I know that the perception, and there's
Speaker 5: probably some truth to it in the mountain towns that
Speaker 5: the short term rental market has distorted the actual market
Speaker 5: for long term renters. But a lot of people who
Speaker 5: own short term rentals, especially people who are retired. I
Speaker 5: met someone fairly recently that owns seven short term rental properties,
Speaker 5: and that is her retirement. That is the money that
Speaker 5: she brings in. She gets a tiny bit from Social Security.
Speaker 5: So if they go after her stuff, that is a
Speaker 5: huge hit. But I think that the perception is that
Speaker 5: if you want a short term rental, you want a
Speaker 5: second house, you're loaded over here and you can pay more.
Speaker 15: And that's the thing.
Speaker 14: So this has been a really hot topic in the
Speaker 14: legislature of the last several sessions. And what people don't
Speaker 14: understand is that seventy five percent of the short term
Speaker 14: rentals are owned by Colorado.
Speaker 15: Residents, and the vast majority of them are second home ish,
Speaker 15: but they are they pay.
Speaker 14: For themselves by short rentaling, otherwise they can't afford to
Speaker 14: have this.
Speaker 15: And this is my neighbor next door.
Speaker 14: Who's daughter is really into ski racing, and so they
Speaker 14: have a place up in winter Park and they go
Speaker 14: out there as often as they can so that they can.
Speaker 15: Enjoy the beauty that is Colorado.
Speaker 14: But they can't afford that place unless they supplement it
Speaker 14: with short term rentals.
Speaker 15: And that is the vast majority of those What the?
Speaker 15: What the again?
Speaker 14: These unintended consequences if you shut down the short term
Speaker 14: rental market. If my neighbor can no longer afford to
Speaker 14: have that short termental because her property tax taxes go
Speaker 14: so high, she has to sell it.
Speaker 15: The short term rental industry is.
Speaker 14: Largely responsible for affordable lodging in our mountain community.
Speaker 15: And so if you if you dry that up, that
Speaker 15: is going to impact.
Speaker 14: Ultimately your sands tax base because you're not going to
Speaker 14: have the tourists coming to.
Speaker 15: Enjoy our mountains.
Speaker 5: Lisa, I got a text here that said, are we
Speaker 5: ever will we get what a minute? Is there a
Speaker 5: chance that will bring us real relief this year? Or
Speaker 5: are we still just talking about future increases?
Speaker 14: So for twenty twenty four, what has been proposed is
Speaker 14: just essentially caring forward twenty twenty three's arrangement that the
Speaker 14: Democrats crammed down our throats in special session last November.
Speaker 15: And then next year. Next year is a reappraisal year.
Speaker 14: We're looking at fairly flat valuation, very few increases statewide,
Speaker 14: so we can expect to see slight decreases in property
Speaker 14: taxes based on what we're talking about, and then the plan,
Speaker 14: the hope is is that we will remain fairly stable.
Speaker 14: We're not going to go down to taxes people paid
Speaker 14: two years ago.
Speaker 6: Okay, so my.
Speaker 5: Forty percent increase is going to be a forty percent
Speaker 5: increase and there's nothing I can do about it.
Speaker 14: We would hope that it wasn't that much, but I
Speaker 14: feel your pain. I also had a forty actually forty
Speaker 14: five percent increase, so I know exactly and this is
Speaker 14: the thing, and I get really frustrated with our local
Speaker 14: governments because I was in the tax Commission.
Speaker 15: I actually just came from the tax Commission, the.
Speaker 14: Property tax Commission, and we're hearing from the special districts
Speaker 14: that you know, they're going to have to leave, they're
Speaker 14: going to have to lay people off.
Speaker 15: And that's just even with the deal.
Speaker 14: It's not even talking about Initiative fifty or one o
Speaker 14: eight that's talking. They're talking about that here. And what
Speaker 14: they are angling for is they want state backfill. And
Speaker 14: we've been down this road. I am completely opposed to
Speaker 14: the state getting into the backfield business or staying in
Speaker 14: the backfield business because we've been doing that.
Speaker 6: Holy So let me ask you this.
Speaker 5: And then when we're almost out of time, I think
Speaker 5: everybody listening is like, Okay, state local governments are going
Speaker 5: to get a huge increase in the amount of money
Speaker 5: that they are going to get. Yet they are now saying,
Speaker 5: if we don't get that huge increase and only get
Speaker 5: a really really big increase, we want the state to
Speaker 5: pay us the difference, even though they're already getting a
Speaker 5: huge increase.
Speaker 6: Yep, Okay, that's just dumb. I mean, that's just really dumb.
Speaker 14: Well and further, this is the thing that really torts
Speaker 14: me up is it comes out of the t So
Speaker 14: these backfill dollars come out of tabor surplus, which should
Speaker 14: be going where to us.
Speaker 5: Well, they're already given our tabor surplus away to everybody else,
Speaker 5: all those groups that they've decided or should get my
Speaker 5: money instead of me. I can't even talk about that.
Speaker 5: That's infuriating, Lisa Frazille. Let's let's touch base next.
Speaker 6: Week if we could.
Speaker 5: I'll get with the Laurel and kind of get an
Speaker 5: update on what's happening, if we could make that happen.
Speaker 5: I appreciate your coming on the show today, and I
Speaker 5: appreciate you trying to fight for me as one of
Speaker 5: your constituents.
Speaker 6: And I hope that the Democrats listen.
Speaker 5: That's all or I, you know, the Colorado people will
Speaker 5: handcuff them in such a way that could be really
Speaker 5: inconvenient going forward. So I hope the threat of that
Speaker 5: hanging over them leads to real action you and me both.
Speaker 14: Mandy, thank you so much. I really appreciate your time
Speaker 14: today and I would love to visit next week.
Speaker 6: Perfect. That's representative Lisa Frizzelle.
Speaker 5: She's also running for Senate, and I put both of
Speaker 5: those links for her on the blog so you can
Speaker 5: find out more information about that.
Speaker 6: So that's something we have to look forward to. Is
Speaker 6: that Ryan Edwards who wants to play today?
Speaker 8: Yes, I mean I missed it all week, so listen.
Speaker 6: I know we didn't do it last week.
Speaker 5: I just figured it would be too to two, you
Speaker 5: know what I mean, just complicated, so much stuff going on. Hey, Ryan,
Speaker 5: really really appreciate you trying to help us out. We
Speaker 5: did not remotely come close to making that flight because

Speaker 7: and usually implies that this new thing is difficult for
Speaker 7: some to understand, like the interwebs.
