Speaker 1: Yeah, ripped, you need you don't have?
Speaker 2: Camaroni is just as fast as we can.
Speaker 1: Shooter's gonna help.
Speaker 3: Come six. It's the Troubleshooter Show.
Speaker 4: Now Tom Martino, Welcome to the Tom Martino Show. This
Speaker 4: is your Coucina colorI kind of filling in right now.
Speaker 4: We are trying to establish connection and you know you
Speaker 4: can always call us with any sort.
Speaker 3: Of trouble you have.
Speaker 4: We are at three oh three Martino, which is three
Speaker 4: oh three six two seven eight four sixty six. Again,
Speaker 4: that's three oh three six two seven eight four sixty six.
Speaker 4: And we're going to go ahead and go to the
Speaker 4: phones and talk to Chuck, who has a comment on RTD.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Chuck, what's up?
Speaker 5: Yes, So, I work with disabled people, many of them
Speaker 5: blind and low vision, and right now the RTD board
Speaker 5: is in the process of changing the system. There's a
Speaker 5: part of the RTD system is something called Access on Demand,
Speaker 5: which subsidizes car rides for people with disabilities, and the
Speaker 5: people with disabilities pay the first five dollars.
Speaker 2: I believe.
Speaker 5: RTD and it's been incredibly beneficial to people with disabilities.
Speaker 5: They're able to go to work, they're able to go
Speaker 5: to the doctor. It's really been beneficial today lifestyle, and
Speaker 5: right now OURTD is in the process of gutting that system.
Speaker 5: They say it's too expensive. It's costing about, as I
Speaker 5: understand it, about one point two million dollars a month,
Speaker 5: but they want to significantly cut back the routes that
Speaker 5: they'll cover, and it will put lots and lots of
Speaker 5: people in difficult situations. Many of them will be forced
Speaker 5: to give up their jobs because of these cuts.
Speaker 4: Now are you speaking about the accessor ride that I
Speaker 4: see the show up buses.
Speaker 5: It's actually an addendum to accessor Ride. And I don't
Speaker 5: know if you're familiar with accessor Ride, but basically the
Speaker 5: problem with accessor Ride as I understand it, there's a
Speaker 5: two hour window, So if you had a ten o'clock appointment,
Speaker 5: you need to be ready to go to that appointment
Speaker 5: either at nine o'clock when you might get picked up,
Speaker 5: or eleven o'clock when you might get picked up, which
Speaker 5: certainly impacts your ability to travel to work because you
Speaker 5: might be an hour late or you might be there
Speaker 5: an hour early. If you use accessor right with access
Speaker 5: on Demand, you can use Uber and Lyft. The rider
Speaker 5: pays the first five dollars, and I believe art D
Speaker 5: covers the next twenty five dollars.
Speaker 4: Okay, so you are basically saying that you are in
Speaker 4: you are not in favor of some subsidiaries like Uber
Speaker 4: and Lyft getting into the private sector of.
Speaker 5: I'm very much in favor of Uber and Lyft. They've
Speaker 5: been phenomenal in the service they provide.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 5: ARCHID does not want to subside them as much as
Speaker 5: they are, and they want to cut back the routes
Speaker 5: which will limit the ability of blind and low vision
Speaker 5: people especially and other people with disabilities, the ability to
Speaker 5: go work every day, and the ability to visit their
Speaker 5: doctors and things of that nature. I'll tell you from experience.
Speaker 5: I've worked with blind people a lot, and I found
Speaker 5: out I would meet with people halfway between their home and.
Speaker 2: My home.
Speaker 5: And I found out for them to travel, for me
Speaker 5: to travel fifteen minutes is fifteen minutes. For them to
Speaker 5: travel fifteen minutes might take an hour and a half
Speaker 5: because the difficulty in them being able to get on
Speaker 5: a bus, find a connecting route, all of those things.
Speaker 5: So the total cost, if I understand it right now,
Speaker 5: is about one point two million dollars a month. The
Speaker 5: state is spending about a billion dollars a year testing
Speaker 5: that's that's come on.
Speaker 3: Okay, how do I sound a little loud? I can
Speaker 3: bring it. I can bring hold on. Okay, testing one too, Okay, sorry,
Speaker 3: all right, here you go for some reason, guys, Sorry,
Speaker 3: I'm here, Telly, thank you? Okay, great, all right now
Speaker 3: who we're talking with? Kelly? Help me and thank you
Speaker 3: so much for doing that.
Speaker 4: Chuck Is has a comment on rt D and the
Speaker 4: I'll let him wrap it up for you.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, okay, yes, go ahead, sir, so Tom.
Speaker 5: I work with disabled people, specifically blind and low vision people.
Speaker 5: Probably not a lot of people are aware they're there's
Speaker 5: a system out there as part of ARTD called Access
Speaker 5: on Demand. The subsidizes Uber and Lipp rides for people
Speaker 5: that are blind. Look people right, disabled?
Speaker 3: Most of these exactly are blind?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, the cost is about one point two million
Speaker 5: dollars a month right now. Yes, the state or the
Speaker 5: RTD is going to gut that system for the people
Speaker 5: that are disabled.
Speaker 3: Now why are they doing that? Are they going to?
Speaker 3: Is accessor ride still around?
Speaker 5: Accessorides still around? I don't know if it's with accessor ride, the.
Speaker 3: Success ride is more for people who are who are
Speaker 3: severely handicapped, right, more severely handicapped.
Speaker 5: Well, it's for people that are handicapped. But generally, as
Speaker 5: I understand that, with accessor Ride, you're given a two
Speaker 5: hour window. So if they tell you if you have
Speaker 5: an eleven o'clock appointment, we may pick you up at
Speaker 5: ten o'clock, we may pick you up at twelve o'clock.
Speaker 5: So it's it's very difficult, and I understand it's a
Speaker 5: nice service. But this Uber called Access on this system
Speaker 5: called Access on Demand allows people to use Uber and lyft.
Speaker 5: They pay the first five dollars, the state or OURTD
Speaker 5: will pay the next twenty five dollars, and then anything
Speaker 5: above that again falls into the lap of the rider.
Speaker 5: They're going to gut that system significantly, they say, the
Speaker 5: one point two million dollars a month that it's costing
Speaker 5: right now, they can't afford we can afford six million
Speaker 5: dollars to reintroduce rules into Colorado, but we can't afford
Speaker 5: to provide the service to blind and low vision.
Speaker 3: And severely So what did What is their alternative at
Speaker 3: this point?
Speaker 5: Well, their alternative is they've held hearings. I was listening
Speaker 5: to some of the hearings and basically they're saying we're
Speaker 5: gonna we're gonna cut some of the routes. Typically what
Speaker 5: they I believe the explanation was if you had to
Speaker 5: go someplace that was within three quarters of a mile
Speaker 5: of a bus route, you could use uber and lift.
Speaker 5: Now they're going to cut that back significantly.
Speaker 3: So okay, So so I mean, listen, I this is
Speaker 3: something where I understand your frustration and it's noted. I'm
Speaker 3: just not sure what we can do about it.
Speaker 5: Well, i's nothing else, you know, I don't bring it.
Speaker 6: This is bo Have you thought of actually calling the
Speaker 6: RTD board and attending a meeting to express these concerns?
Speaker 5: Sure I did, And look we've all been to meetings
Speaker 5: like that. They they listen to everything you say and
Speaker 5: then they're gonna do what they want to do.
Speaker 6: Maybe you need to get a group of people together,
Speaker 6: numbers in force, and go down there again because they're
Speaker 6: elected officials.
Speaker 3: I mean that's about it.
Speaker 5: I guess yeah, that was that was Well. The main
Speaker 5: thing I wanted to do is Tom, You've got a
Speaker 5: pretty big audience out there. I'll be honest, with you.
Speaker 5: My hope is Elon Musk decides to write a check
Speaker 5: for twelve million dollars for the next year for RTD
Speaker 5: to cover the cost of this.
Speaker 3: But oh, sure, sure that's going to happen.
Speaker 5: Yeah, lots of people in Colorado, listen, want to write
Speaker 5: a check for twelve million dollars.
Speaker 3: Listen. We uh, okay, it all comes down to this.
Speaker 3: There is no magic. Basically, the bottom line is this,
Speaker 3: we have priorities that authorities have put into place, okay,
Speaker 3: and we have to vote them out if we don't
Speaker 3: like their priorities. It's that easy. We literally have to
Speaker 3: get rid of them if we don't like what they're doing.
Speaker 3: And I don't know what else to say. Okay, this
Speaker 3: mayor will go to jail to keep illegal immigrants on
Speaker 3: the streets in Denver when we don't have enough money
Speaker 3: to pay for them, and then we'll take OURTD and
Speaker 3: we'll gut it. Okay, I don't know what to say
Speaker 3: about it. Just like with Homeland Security and with every
Speaker 3: single thing we have going on, people are making priorities.
Speaker 3: I don't know how they base their priorities. I really don't.
Speaker 3: I mean, Chuck, obviously, there is no answer to this.
Speaker 3: I mean people always try to equate. Okay, we have
Speaker 3: money to do this, but we don't have money to
Speaker 3: do that, and they are two separate entities or four
Speaker 3: separate or five or ten. So bottom line is this, truly,
Speaker 3: I know what you're saying, and everyone's ox gets killed, right,
Speaker 3: and then we are pissed off at our government. But
Speaker 3: then you have others who are happy. Why because we
Speaker 3: don't all have priorities the same priorities. What do you suggest, Chuck, seriously,
Speaker 3: what do you suggest.
Speaker 5: I'll be honest with you, Tom, I I agree with
Speaker 5: everything you're saying, but I wanted to take an opportunity
Speaker 5: to get on your platform. No, I get it to
Speaker 5: make this people aware of this out there. I think
Speaker 5: it's it's terrible.
Speaker 3: Look at me, it's common sense. Yeah, it's common sense.
Speaker 5: Here's I appreciate. I appreciate just the fact that you've
Speaker 5: given me the opportunity to voice my displeasure with what
Speaker 5: RTD is choosing to do. And people need to realize
Speaker 5: it's going to affect the lives of thousands of people
Speaker 5: who who have who have been screwed over numerous other
Speaker 5: times in their life, and this is one more kicking
Speaker 5: the ass to those people. I'm sorry, but that's.
Speaker 7: What it is.
Speaker 3: Well it is, so we got to do with it
Speaker 3: what we did. Look, the country already did a big backlash,
Speaker 3: didn't they against certain policies. You could tell they're pissed
Speaker 3: off Denver and Colorado. Colorado, by the way, is more
Speaker 3: liberal than all of California. We have more it is,
Speaker 3: and we have a governor, and we have mayors, and
Speaker 3: we have governments that make a priority. And their priority
Speaker 3: is not the better off live. It's not for the
Speaker 3: well being of Colorado's It's not okay. If anyone thinks
Speaker 3: it is, they're crazy their priorities. I don't know why.
Speaker 3: I don't know if they wake up one day and say,
Speaker 3: you know what, I want to piss off every hard
Speaker 3: working man and woman in this state. I want to
Speaker 3: start spending money on others and not priority ties, our schools,
Speaker 3: our transportation, our own handicapped people. No, let's not do that.
Speaker 3: Let's instead, let's take all of our money and first
Speaker 3: help the newcomers. Now, I'm not telling you I hate newcomers,
Speaker 3: I personally and I don't want to get into this.
Speaker 3: I hate when people do this but I do personally
Speaker 3: support many, many immigrant families who are taking steps to well,
Speaker 3: first of all, they're here on legal asylum right now, temporary,
Speaker 3: they're taking steps to become citizens, and they're working and
Speaker 3: they're trying. So I don't know what to do. There
Speaker 3: is no answer. It's kind of like you echo the
Speaker 3: thoughts of everyone, but you're echoing thoughts for people about
Speaker 3: your concern is RTD. There's someone else calling in saying, well,
Speaker 3: what about this that was cut or our You know
Speaker 3: how many things have you noticed going undone in Denver
Speaker 3: and in Colorado in favor of something else. Well, here's
Speaker 3: the bottom line. We either have to prioritize or just
Speaker 3: raise enough money to take care of them all.
Speaker 2: Isn't that?
Speaker 3: I mean, that's really the God's honest truth. By the way,
Speaker 3: I'm Tom Martine. Three oh three seven one three Talks

Speaker 9: a year ago, and so, you know, I checked around shops.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: Some needed to take the bumper off one hundred and
Speaker 9: fifty dollars. Another one wanted me to leave it.

Speaker 9: all right, of course I don't like that it's a
Speaker 9: little high, but okay, cook it over Wednesday. The guy,
Speaker 9: the owner of the shop, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 9: attempted to do it. He put it in, you know,
Speaker 9: he started up my car, turned the wheel to the right,
Speaker 9: and then attempted to get in it, you know, with
Speaker 9: the space he had. And then he went back attempted,
Speaker 9: you know, to yank the wheel again to the right.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 9: He finally he finally got the light bulb in there,
Speaker 9: and you know, and we noticed, you know, the right
Speaker 9: side is brighter than the left side, you know. Okay,
Speaker 9: no big deal, boo.
Speaker 3: Okay, so you mean the new bulb. The new bulb
Speaker 3: is brighter, No.

Speaker 3: Calkin with us are expert at shared and auto tech
Speaker 3: love Uncle Kevin, and Kevin, I don't understand this. Frick
Speaker 3: has a Mercedes Okay, it's it's the twenty eleven C
Speaker 3: three hundred and the side marker lights. He said, one
Speaker 3: of them went out on the left. The last year,
Speaker 3: he had the right one done. This year he had
Speaker 3: the left one done and not a big deal. They
Speaker 3: what's that, sir?
Speaker 9: He had the right done this year?
Speaker 3: Great? Okay, sorry, right, okay, yeah, okay, got it. Okay,
Speaker 3: So he had the right side ball replaces around forty bucks. Now,
Speaker 3: he says, after that, what happened, Rick? You got in
Speaker 3: your car after they did it, and it wouldn't.
Speaker 9: Start, wouldn't start, wouldn't turn over at all. And I
Speaker 9: noticed the steering wheel was not locked. Okay, so the
Speaker 9: steering h lock was broke, is what I'm saying, basically, Uh,
Speaker 9: And I watched the guy do it. I mean he
Speaker 9: got in the car, started up, turned the wheel to
Speaker 9: the right, and then he got out, attempted to get
Speaker 9: to the to the marker, and then we got back
Speaker 9: the steering wheel and he didn't start the car up,
Speaker 9: or didn't didn't get in it. He just tempted to
Speaker 9: a steering wheel and what I really want to do
Speaker 9: is get the videotape because the whole place has video cameras.
Speaker 3: What do you think, Kevin, what could have been done? Kevin?
Speaker 3: What could have been done? Well?
Speaker 12: Unless he forced it in some way, because when you
Speaker 12: crank the wheel all the way, you know, and turn
Speaker 12: the key off, sometimes you got to wiggle the steering
Speaker 12: wheel to get it to release because it's in a bind.
Speaker 5: It's possible, he.
Speaker 3: Says, his steering he says, the steering wheel is not locked.
Speaker 12: I know, when the back turned the wheel all the
Speaker 12: way to access the fender well behind the tire, he
Speaker 12: probably put the steering you know how sometimes if you're
Speaker 12: parked and the wheels turned all the way, you got
Speaker 12: to kind of take some pressure off it to get
Speaker 12: the key to turn. So he may have the steering lock,
Speaker 12: but it's just normal operational. Shouldn't have had any There's
Speaker 12: really not much he.
Speaker 3: Could But yeah, that's what I'm saying. When what could
Speaker 3: he have done to replace that bulb that totally screwed
Speaker 3: up the car? Now the car won't even.
Speaker 9: Run it, and you know took him the mechanic that
Speaker 9: did it took him, you know, five minutes at the
Speaker 9: most and put it in there on the lip.
Speaker 3: He rick, is, so is the car still not running?
Speaker 9: Yeah, as far as I know, I had a toe
Speaker 9: to Mercedes to you know, get a picture. Now. He
Speaker 9: did do a diagnostic on it. He told me exactly
Speaker 9: what it was. Steering wheel column was, the lock was broke,
Speaker 9: the module.
Speaker 10: Was broke.
Speaker 9: Fifteen hundred dollars. He's looking at me like, yeah, okay,
Speaker 9: fifteen hundred and he's the last one in my car
Speaker 9: turning the string wheel.
Speaker 3: I guess, I guess going to ask this again. Did
Speaker 3: your car get fixed?
Speaker 9: Well, it's in the shot now. It said, uh and
Speaker 9: it what is the diagnosis.
Speaker 10: For your pardon?
Speaker 3: What's the diagnosis?
Speaker 9: The same thing he diagnosed steering will uh broke the lock,
Speaker 9: broke the module inside it, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 9: What all comes with breaking?
Speaker 3: Kevin? I think I think he could have done it.
Speaker 3: Did he have to turn the wheel excessively to get
Speaker 3: to that bulb or something?
Speaker 12: Yes, that's what he did. Instead of pulling the wheel,
Speaker 12: you turn the wheel all the way to one side
Speaker 12: or the other and then you have more room. But
Speaker 12: it's normal operation.
Speaker 3: For the car. It's not something I don't understand how
Speaker 3: when you turn a wheel you get more room. I don't, Oh,
Speaker 3: you mean outside you get more room when you turn
Speaker 3: the wheel.
Speaker 12: So that wheel is wheel the left, So the wheel
Speaker 12: now you have got it room between the wheel and
Speaker 12: the front fender. Yeah, pretty common way of doing that. Okay,
Speaker 12: it's an normal operation.
Speaker 3: So Rick, Rick, Now, I totally understand what you're saying. Rick,
Speaker 3: I think he did break it if he turned that
Speaker 3: thing all the way to try to get under that
Speaker 3: tire and up to the fender. I agree with you.
Speaker 3: I agree with you, And the only thing the only
Speaker 3: thing you can do is get an opinion from Mercedes
Speaker 3: right now and use it for like maybe small claims
Speaker 3: court or we'll call the guy. But what you need
Speaker 3: to do first is get it fixed. You'll have a damage,
Speaker 3: and then we try to collect it. That's the only
Speaker 3: thing I can say. Okay, Kevin, would you be able
Speaker 3: to tell the cause?
Speaker 12: Well, Mercedes would be the ideal place where it's at
Speaker 12: right now, you know.
Speaker 3: Okay, So Rick, So Rick, tell them, tell them you
Speaker 3: think that guy broke it by turning the wheel. They'll
Speaker 3: know they can tell.
Speaker 9: Yeah I did already. It should be ready today and
Speaker 9: it's uh three down.
Speaker 8: And knows so you know whoa my mynd.
Speaker 3: God right, so you know, And what's the name of
Speaker 3: the shop that did it.
Speaker 9: That's gonna be uh Buerrero's Auto House, thirty four Bueros Yeah,
Speaker 9: thirty four eleven West Coopex. I got the boone number
Speaker 9: and the owner did the work, Miguel.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't think the guy did it on purpose.
Speaker 3: I'm not thinking the guy's a crook. I'm just thinking
Speaker 3: he did it. I mean, it's too much of a coincidence. Kevin,
Speaker 3: would you say it's a good it's a good bet.
Speaker 12: He did it, more than likely, But it's gonna be
Speaker 12: hard to prove negligence that he did it, you know,
Speaker 12: and not just normal operation of the vehicle.
Speaker 3: Well okay, Well he turned it excessively to one side.
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, turned it all the way sure, just like
Speaker 12: you would in a parking lot. So it's I agree
Speaker 12: that it happened there, but it's going to be a hard,
Speaker 12: hard slide I think to prove damages.
Speaker 5: Okay, Well, I.
Speaker 3: Don't know what to tell you. Man, get some information
Speaker 3: from Mercedes and then get back to us. That's all
Speaker 3: we can do is get information from them, all right,
Speaker 3: three h three seven one three talks seven one three
Speaker 3: two five five. I can identify with the frustration, Kevin.
Speaker 3: We've used the expression before. When you touch it, you
Speaker 3: own it. When a mechanic, yeah, when a mechanic touches

Speaker 3: So it was kind of Now, why did you not
Speaker 3: call police? Why did you not call police?
Speaker 7: Rush hour traffic? I was on I was an idiot.

Speaker 3: us the call. It's getting close to the end of
Speaker 3: the year. Let's clean out the closet, let's get rid
Speaker 3: of crap. I know there's a lot of stuff on
Speaker 3: my mind right now. I'll tell you really, this drone
Speaker 3: thing has me absolutely perplexed. I now Honest to God,
Speaker 3: I just don't understand it. Do you know? As a pilot,
Speaker 3: I can't lift my freaking helicopter up two feet without
Speaker 3: being harassed. If I don't call in and report to
Speaker 3: a control authority, you can't fly an airplane. Why are
Speaker 3: drones allowed to fly around?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 3: Let me explain something. Airplanes used to violate airspace all
Speaker 3: the time, and no one knew who they were, the
Speaker 3: little crop dusters out in the country, whatever, whatever, whatever.
Speaker 3: There was a rule called I want you to learn
Speaker 3: this because it's important, adsb out. What that means is
Speaker 3: every single plane in the country had to be equipped
Speaker 3: by a certain year twenty twenty with what they called
Speaker 3: adsb out. That means that your plane had to have
Speaker 3: the ability no matter how little it was, whether it's
Speaker 3: a crop duster, it didn't matter. It had to have
Speaker 3: the ability to transmit itself. In other words, when you
Speaker 3: fly around, you have to have an adsb out transmit.
Speaker 3: They call it out because you're transmitting. So you had
Speaker 3: to have an ADSB transmitter that sent out your end number.
Speaker 3: It also sent out where you are. Now why did
Speaker 3: they do that? Because they knew radar did not cover
Speaker 3: the entire country. So if you're flying out in the
Speaker 3: country and someone else flying out the country, you can
Speaker 3: each see each other. But it was more important than
Speaker 3: that the government can cobody. No, a transponder is. A
Speaker 3: transponder works like this. When you're flying around and radar
Speaker 3: hits it, it excites it and sends a signal back.
Speaker 3: That's all a transponder does. Okay, that's what a transponder does.
Speaker 3: It doesn't necessarily and and now the new transponders tell you.
Speaker 3: So it tells them how fast approximately, and what height,
Speaker 3: and what what elevation or what altitude you're flying at.
Speaker 3: But that's only when you're in airspace. A radar catches it.
Speaker 3: If there's no radar on a tower, you know, if
Speaker 3: it's a small little field somewhere, transponders do nothing. Okay,
Speaker 3: So the transponder wasn't enough. They wanted a way to
Speaker 3: know who was flying where and when. That's why now
Speaker 3: you can go to call a program. Right now, any
Speaker 3: of you can go to a program called flight aware.
Speaker 3: Flight Aware is a website. And when you go to
Speaker 3: FlightAware dot com and put in I shouldn't even tell
Speaker 3: you this because you get my end number. You can
Speaker 3: tell where I am, when I am, how I am. Oh,
Speaker 3: you put an end number in and you'll see where
Speaker 3: that plane is at all times. At all times, it's
Speaker 3: last flight, where it went, it's flight track, if it
Speaker 3: did circles, donuts, You see everything, everything you did. That's
Speaker 3: how a lot of instructors check on their student pilots.
Speaker 3: If there's student pilots that I went on across country.
Speaker 3: You see, back in the day, we had to prove
Speaker 3: we went on across country. You know how we did
Speaker 3: that when we had to do it for our license.
Speaker 3: When we flew to a remote airport and landed, we
Speaker 3: had to have somebody there sign it saying that they
Speaker 3: saw us there in this airplane. You did, and you
Speaker 3: put that in your log. That's how you proved you
Speaker 3: did your cross country. Now nowadays you don't have to
Speaker 3: prove anything. They just go to flight Aware to see
Speaker 3: if you landed there. You can't cheat anymore. Pilots used
Speaker 3: to sheet all the time. You can't say I went flying,
Speaker 3: honey and I flew to somewhere for lunch. If you didn't,
Speaker 3: she can go on fly towear dot com and find
Speaker 3: out in a heartbeat if you flew and where you
Speaker 3: flew too, every private jet even I even looked up,
Speaker 3: but Taylor Swift's jet when she was flying around where
Speaker 3: it was in the air, where it landed. Now why
Speaker 3: am I saying all this? Okay, let me get back
Speaker 3: to the point. If they require or every single aircraft
Speaker 3: in the entire country airspace to have ADSB, why don't
Speaker 3: they require drones to have the same thing. I'll tell
Speaker 3: you what. It's dangerous. Drones fly around mostly where helicopters do.
Speaker 3: I don't like that. I can't tell you how many
Speaker 3: times I've come across drones. They could have taken me out.
Speaker 3: And then another thing, they can fly as high as
Speaker 3: a fricking airliner when they're coming in and doing certain maneuvers.
Speaker 3: I don't think they go up to thirty or forty
Speaker 3: thousand feet, but they can go to heights when they're
Speaker 3: coming in and out of airports and controlled areas. So
Speaker 3: why aren't drones more controlled? Then there would be no question.
Speaker 3: Do you know what would happen if I just tried
Speaker 3: to fly around my ultra lights somewhere like that? Do
Speaker 3: you know what would happen? They would shoot you down.
Speaker 3: For God's sakes. Why are they letting these drones fly
Speaker 3: indiscriminately everywhere? Why they shouldn't be able to do it.
Speaker 3: It's dangerous, it's dangerous, it's stupid. They should control drones
Speaker 3: because drones are aircraft. Period. You pick a size, if
Speaker 3: it's bigger than I don't know, your hand or whatever,
Speaker 3: pick a size and pick a power, and they should
Speaker 3: be regulated. It isn't it common sense? For God's sake?
Speaker 3: Think about it. They're flying around, you know where the
Speaker 3: rescue helicopters, the ambulance helicopters, all of the light aircraft
Speaker 3: and airlines coming in and out of major airports. They
Speaker 3: are flying around without any control whatsoever.
Speaker 2: None.
Speaker 3: You don't have to have a license, you don't have
Speaker 3: to know what you're doing. You don't have to have
Speaker 3: a registration. You should have all of that. Why should
Speaker 3: you be playing with something like that without having that? Okay,
Speaker 3: isn't that common sense? And why are we letting these
Speaker 3: drones just fly around not knowing what they're gonna do?
Speaker 3: Do you think by chance there might be a terrorist? Thinking?
Speaker 3: pH we went through all the trouble trying to sneak
Speaker 3: over the border. We went through all the trouble of
Speaker 3: trying to teach people how to fly airliners. We went
Speaker 3: through all the trouble. We don't have to do any
Speaker 3: of that. People, We can take a drone for one
Speaker 3: thousand dollars and put poisonous gas in it and crash
Speaker 3: into the Capitol. I does anyone find this as disturbing
Speaker 3: as I do? I'm serious. There are no controls whatsoever,
Speaker 3: and they watch them. The FA frustrated, The FBI is frustrated.
Speaker 11: Tom, Look what the government is frustrated. Look what the
Speaker 11: Ukrainian is doing with their their you know, five hundred
Speaker 11: dollar drones. They're take me out tanks. They just they
Speaker 11: just put a little bomb on it. And anybody could
Speaker 11: do that now.
Speaker 3: And don't you think, don't you dare think it's not
Speaker 3: going to happen. It absolutely will happen. Do you think
Speaker 3: terrorists are stupid? They're watching this now? Tell me why
Speaker 3: aren't we Okay, first and foremost, we're not shooting him
Speaker 3: down because it could cause danger to people. I don't know,
Speaker 3: but I know this. They could flyp and investigate them,
Speaker 3: but they don't. They're not doing anything nothing. I swear
Speaker 3: to God, I don't understand it. So bottom line, all
Speaker 3: drones should be regulated. Like it or not, they should
Speaker 3: be Eileen, what's going on with you? Hello? Eileen? You
Speaker 3: said you had a two thousand and seven A four.
Speaker 7: OUTI oh my, oh my god.
Speaker 17: Thank you?
Speaker 10: And you were hit for getting back to.
Speaker 3: Okay, thank you, Lean and you were hit on November Eileen.
Speaker 3: We're gonna do it this way now. Now I'm going
Speaker 3: to talk and ask simple questions. Okay, on November twenty, First,
Speaker 3: you were hit by another driver. He claims you hit him. Now,
Speaker 3: now you're dealing with insurance. Now you don't agree. You
Speaker 3: say that you hit him. Excuse me? He hit you?
Speaker 3: He says you hit him. There's no way to prove
Speaker 3: it one way or the other. Now, if there's no
Speaker 3: way to prove it, your insurance do you have? I
Speaker 3: don't think you have collision coverage on A two thousand
Speaker 3: and seven A four OUTI do you? Oh?
Speaker 18: Yes, I do?
Speaker 7: I had complete?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Okay, all right that okay, So your insurance then
Speaker 3: should take care of that damage.
Speaker 7: Yes, So let me tell you and Tom it's so
Speaker 7: nice to talk to you.
Speaker 19: Okay.
Speaker 15: They originally told me that they would cover thirty thousand,
Speaker 15: nine hundred ninety two dollars for.
Speaker 3: Whatever. It doesn't matter, if that part doesn't matter. They
Speaker 3: originally said they would cover the damage.
Speaker 15: Right, and then my the collision. The Colorado coach said
Speaker 15: that the estimate went up from that amount to thirteen
Speaker 15: seventy eight dollars and fifteen cents.
Speaker 3: And I was like, you mean you mean an additional okay, yes,
Speaker 3: So they agreed to pay around thirty grand and it
Speaker 3: went up by thirteen grand.
Speaker 15: Well, thirteen hundred for thirteen hundred, and it went outside
Speaker 15: thirteen seventy eight.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're not talking now.
Speaker 3: Well why wouldn't they So why wouldn't they pay that
Speaker 3: additional money?
Speaker 7: Well, that's what I am.
Speaker 3: This is all you have to do. Listen, listen, Eileen.
Speaker 3: Let me just put it to you this way. Okay,
Speaker 3: all they have to do. All you have to do
Speaker 3: is pay your deductible and they should pay the collision,
Speaker 3: should pay for your car up to a certain amount.
Speaker 3: Then they total your car. So I just need to
Speaker 3: know this. Are they going to total your car or
Speaker 3: are they going to fix your car?
Speaker 7: No, they're saying they are going to total my car.
Speaker 7: And that's okay.
Speaker 3: Now now that's the point.
Speaker 15: Okay, car is totally drivable.
Speaker 3: Okay, Arleen, This happens all the time. Okay, Eileen, listen, Okay,
Speaker 3: I get it. Let me explain this to you. You
Speaker 3: don't have to explain that you're angry and that you
Speaker 3: don't agree. I know that I get this call all
Speaker 3: the time. Here's what they're saying, and you agreed to it,
Speaker 3: and you agreed to it in your policy. Okay, here's
Speaker 3: what you agreed to that. It's their choice to either
Speaker 3: pay you the value of the car or repair it.
Speaker 3: It's up to depth.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 3: Now, if they want to total your car, the best
Speaker 3: you can do is to make a settlement and buy
Speaker 3: another car. If you don't agree with the totaling, there's
Speaker 3: nothing you can do about it. What you can do, however,
Speaker 3: is offer to buy the car back. But that almost never, ever, ever, ever,
Speaker 3: ever works out for consumers when they want to buy
Speaker 3: the car back and fix it. I don't recommend it.
Speaker 3: How much are they willing to give you for this car?
Speaker 7: Okay, you are so sweet. Let me just tell you
Speaker 7: one thing, Tom, and thank you for listening to me.
Speaker 15: They are okay, Initially, they are going to give me
Speaker 15: a settlement of sixty five hundred dollars for if they
Speaker 15: take ownership of my car. Now, if I retain my car,
Speaker 15: which is what I want to do, is fifty nine
Speaker 15: one hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: And that's not bad. That's not a that And how
Speaker 3: much is the total repair?
Speaker 15: Which is so weird is because the repair.
Speaker 3: How much is the total repair bill?
Speaker 15: Eileen, I'm telling you fifty six hundred and twenty dollars
Speaker 15: in twenty nine cents, which is less than.
Speaker 7: What they are going to give me as a retainment.
Speaker 3: Of my Eileen. It is their choice. It is their choice.
Speaker 3: Here's how it works, Okay. When an insurance company, Eileen,
Speaker 3: if you listen, i'll tell you. Okay, you don't have
Speaker 3: to keep telling me about your dismay. Okay. Here, here's
Speaker 3: what it is. They look at what's damaged and they
Speaker 3: decide is it worth fixing for fifty six hundred and
Speaker 3: they decide no, we would rather give her fifty nine hundred.
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna tell you why. Because if they pay
Speaker 3: fifty six hundred to fix it, they are afraid that
Speaker 3: a two thousand and seven, A four AUDI with all
Speaker 3: of those repairs are going to be a nightmare for them.
Speaker 3: And They don't want you coming back with complaints. They
Speaker 3: would rather make a full and final settlement and give
Speaker 3: you fifty nine hundred bucks and let you keep the car,
Speaker 3: or give you sixty five hundred and just salvage the
Speaker 3: car in a wrecking yard. That's okay. Those are your choices. Now.
Speaker 3: If you can get that car fixed for fifty six
Speaker 3: hundred and they're willing to give you fifty nine hundred,
Speaker 3: then you can do it and yet it fixed. But
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you something, and I want you
Speaker 3: to remember this day. If you take fifty fifty nine
Speaker 3: hundred from your insurance and you put fifty six hundred
Speaker 3: into a two thousand and seven, a four OUTI with
Speaker 3: ninety five thousand miles that has been wrecked to that degree,
Speaker 3: it would be the worst decision you have ever made.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 3: That is my That is my advice. You you called
Speaker 3: for my advice. So what I'm telling you is this.
Speaker 3: If you do not, if you do not fix it,
Speaker 3: take the sixty five hundred and buy another car. If
Speaker 3: you have the choice, fifty six and you're gonna are
Speaker 3: fifty nine and I'll fix it myself, or sixty five
Speaker 3: and I'll walk away, My recommendation is that you walk
Speaker 3: away three oh three seven one three talks seven one

Speaker 3: get your calls in with problems, questions and complaints. By
Speaker 3: the way, Deputy Bodeputy doc in the studio. Deputy d
Speaker 3: here with me any if you have anything file?
Speaker 11: Yes, sir, you know John full has made a believer
Speaker 11: right of me. If this lady had spent one hundred
Speaker 11: and fifty bucks for a dash cam, it would be over.
Speaker 18: So I would it pick up a side swipe though?
Speaker 18: Would it pick up a side swipe? Yeah, it would
Speaker 18: pick up the fact that she didn't sit swipe. Count
Speaker 18: well because you look forward and so if the if
Speaker 18: the video you're watching didn't swipe, you didn't do it.
Speaker 8: See.
Speaker 11: It also has a wide angle, so you can get
Speaker 11: you can get it's not just straight ahead. It's a
Speaker 11: wide angle lens. You can get more than you think.
Speaker 11: But like I say, for one hundred and fifty bucks,
Speaker 11: you get none of this would happen. But if you don't,
Speaker 11: if you don't have a dashcam, what you need to
Speaker 11: do at the scene of the accident is take some
Speaker 11: pictures before you move the cars out of the roadway.
Speaker 11: That also will protect you because you can tell from
Speaker 11: the angle.
Speaker 3: Of it and call the police.
Speaker 11: Well, if you're not going to call the police, at
Speaker 11: least take pictures and you can tell who who's out
Speaker 11: of their lane and you know how to interpret the accident.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 3: So here's the bottom line. If you have a dash cam,
Speaker 3: it's definitely better than not having one, unless you're like
Speaker 3: maybe me and you don't want to convict yourself.
Speaker 2: Ha, just kidding.
Speaker 3: Three or three seven one three talk seven one three
Speaker 3: two five five Guys, you have any follow ups?
Speaker 13: Yeah, dude, what do you got? Well, it's kind of
Speaker 13: a tragic situation. We got a call a few days
Speaker 13: ago from a guy named Daniel. He's homeless and he
Speaker 13: was living in an RV that he bought for about
Speaker 13: twelve hundred bucks. Long story short, the cops towed away
Speaker 13: the RV. He got thrown in the slammer. He then
Speaker 13: got extradited too. I think Missouri. Where the slammer again?
Speaker 13: He just got uh why was he arrested? You know
Speaker 13: it's it's here's the short version of it. The police
Speaker 13: were trying to stop him. He didn't know. He claims
Speaker 13: he didn't know they were behind him. They shot a
Speaker 13: tracking dart into his RV and then such a thing,
Speaker 13: oh ye tracking dark. Yeah, it's like a big sticky
Speaker 13: thing and they fired from the front of the police car.
Speaker 13: And then it's got a GPS locator and then they
Speaker 13: come and find you at their convenience, which is what
Speaker 13: happened to poor Daniel. So the issue now is that
Speaker 13: he's stuck in Kansas City, can't afford a bus ticket.
Speaker 2: His car.
Speaker 13: I did track this, yeah, it was still definitely impounded.
Speaker 13: He thought it was an Aurora. I spoke with Aurora.
Speaker 13: They don't have it, but they did help me track
Speaker 13: it down to Denver. I verified that Denver Sheriff's Department
Speaker 13: is holding it. Unfortunately, it's been over thirty days. They're
Speaker 13: getting ready to either sell or scrap it. All he
Speaker 13: wants is access to the RV to get his tools out.
Speaker 13: He has some tools in there that he uses to
Speaker 13: eke out a very modest income. He can't get in
Speaker 13: because he's not the registered owner of the RV. Who is, Well,
Speaker 13: the God knows who's the registered owners. He bought it
Speaker 13: from a storage yard and it was abandoned, So all
Speaker 13: we're trying to do. He has a bill of sale,
Speaker 13: it's got his name, it's got the pin number no
Speaker 13: well if. Yeah, there are plates on it, but they're
Speaker 13: not his, so they're the previous owner and God knows
Speaker 13: who that was. So I've been trying to get either
Speaker 13: the Sheriff's department or their mayor's office. I've been sending
Speaker 13: left messages and I send emails to both of their
Speaker 13: press relations offices.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the mayor won't listen unless you tell him he's
Speaker 3: an illegal allien. He's carrying weapons.
Speaker 13: Yeah, the mayor is going to go to jail to
Speaker 13: keep the trend.
Speaker 3: Tell the mayor, he's an illegal alien, an illegal immigrant
Speaker 3: carrying weapons and fetanol. And then he'll fight to get about.
Speaker 13: This mayor of Denver ran on the platform of helping
Speaker 13: the homeless, and all I'm getting is silence on what
Speaker 13: we're trying to do is get the dude's tools back.
Speaker 13: He already gave up. He can't afford to take the
Speaker 13: to pay the impound fee and the storage fee. He
Speaker 13: just points his tools out. That's not too much to
Speaker 13: ask for. I get nothing but silence from Denver Sheriff's
Speaker 13: office and from Denver Mayor's office.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't know what to say, man, I just
Speaker 3: don't know what to say. It's heartbreaking, it is, and
Speaker 3: we run across these things again, priorities. Are people happy
Speaker 3: with this mayor? I mean, he was like a nice
Speaker 3: guy as a person. He just seems like an all
Speaker 3: around nice guy. But no, that's a politician's trick. That's
Speaker 3: that's the politician persona.
Speaker 13: He puts on.
Speaker 3: Amber, what's happening, Amber, Yes, this is what's going on. Yes,
Speaker 3: what's happened?
Speaker 20: Okay, So back on just Ver.
Speaker 21: First, the vehicle I was in posession of got stolen
Speaker 21: from me.
Speaker 14: However, my dog and her six puppies were in the backseat.
Speaker 20: Okay, who my vehicle?
Speaker 22: Well, yeah, whoever stole my vehicle ended up in a
Speaker 22: pursuit with the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department, and I guess
Speaker 22: they ended up getting away, but my dogs ended up
Speaker 22: getting taken to the animal shelter by Officer Richie who
Speaker 22: is the.
Speaker 21: Animal control ufser. Now I found out this out that night,
Speaker 21: same night he got taken and the next day I
Speaker 21: went up to the Riverside or Riverdale animal Control or
Speaker 21: not in the control, their animal shelter, and I went
Speaker 21: up there to go get my dogs. I got told
Speaker 21: by the animal control officer that they would not be
Speaker 21: released to me unless I talked to Adams County since
Speaker 21: they were involved in a crime.
Speaker 3: Now they and where exactly are they right now?
Speaker 21: Right now they have been moved apparently to a shelter,
Speaker 21: to a foster care.
Speaker 7: I don't know where they're at anymore.
Speaker 3: First they were brought first they.
Speaker 21: To where the Riverdale animal shelter.
Speaker 3: Okay now Riverdale then sent them out to private foster.
Speaker 21: Now they have yes, it's now been.
Speaker 3: Foster or were they adopt? Is it foster care? Or
Speaker 3: were they adopted out?
Speaker 21: They're in a foster care family right now, is what
Speaker 21: I've been told.
Speaker 3: Okay, so that means that they're up for adoption.
Speaker 21: Not yet, since they will be up for adoption, Yeah,
Speaker 21: they will, and they're too.
Speaker 13: Young to be adopted. What about the mother dog?
Speaker 21: Apparently the mother dog bought them?

Speaker 3: your troubleshooter three L three seven one three talks seven
Speaker 3: one three two five five. So on December first, her
Speaker 3: car was stolen, her dog and six puppies were inside.
Speaker 3: The thief was caught, dogs were brought to Riverdale Animal
Speaker 3: Shelter and then uh after that, she wants to get
Speaker 3: him back, but they were sent to foster care and
Speaker 3: somehow someone told her she can't get him back. Now
Speaker 3: without saying any naughty words, Chamber, why can't you get
Speaker 3: him back? What was the reason given to you?
Speaker 14: I was told by auser Richie the Animal Control after
Speaker 14: that unless I gave her a name of the driver
Speaker 14: of this vehicle, that I would not be allowed to
Speaker 14: get my dogs.
Speaker 3: And now why did okay? I don't understand that. I
Speaker 3: don't what does that mean either the driver meaning the thief,
Speaker 3: the thief or you.
Speaker 14: Yes, the thief, the thief whoever stole the car?
Speaker 3: Now, why did you have okay? Are they saying you
Speaker 3: knew the thief?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 23: That's what she kept telling me is that's the reason
Speaker 23: why if.
Speaker 21: I don't give them a name of whoever was driving
Speaker 21: during the pursuit, then am I not getting my dogs?
Speaker 23: I think they were assuming that.
Speaker 3: What was the reasoning? What was the reasoning? But Amber,
Speaker 3: what was the reasoning behind wanting you to know the
Speaker 3: name of the thief?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 17: I have no idea what the reason.
Speaker 3: Well did you ask here? Did you ask?
Speaker 23: Did you say I wasn't able to pick up my dogs?
Speaker 23: And her only response was that there was a police
Speaker 23: hold through Adam County Jeff's department, And I talked to
Speaker 23: Adam Kelly's department. They told me that once the dogs
Speaker 23: were in her custody, they didn't they had no more,
Speaker 23: they had nothing to do with it.
Speaker 13: They didn't care.
Speaker 23: So basically I got back and forth.
Speaker 10: Back and forth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, why do you think what kind of dogs are they?
Speaker 14: She is a pitbull at blue heather mixed and so
Speaker 14: are her puppies.
Speaker 13: Are those outlawed in the jurisdiction where the where the
Speaker 13: chase came to an end.
Speaker 23: No, because there she's a mix, so she's a mutt.
Speaker 13: Really, Amber, if the Animal Control just wants the driver's
Speaker 13: name that's available to you in the police report that
Speaker 13: was generated at the time, I.
Speaker 3: Don't understand the reason for that. I don't get what
Speaker 3: they're getting at. I think we need hold on, Amber,
Speaker 3: let's I think we exhaust asked them. Why don't you
Speaker 3: let me call Richie and ask Okay, it's a ridiculo.
Speaker 3: Who who cares who the driver is? She wasn't driving
Speaker 3: the cars.
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Or you call Riverdale. But there's a reason the dog's
Speaker 3: not being given back. We're just not hearing.
Speaker 13: These reasons we need to make. I need to make Amber.
Speaker 13: Do they suspect you, Amber? Do they suspect you of
Speaker 13: being an unlicensed dog breeder? Is that a suspicion?
Speaker 3: I've never heard of this.
Speaker 13: The government suspects you, lie?
Speaker 3: I've never heard of a licensed dog breed yea.
Speaker 13: They're required in Colorado.
Speaker 3: And if you which means what that if you're going
Speaker 3: to breed dogs or any dogs, what if your dog
Speaker 3: gets knocked up and has puppies?
Speaker 10: Are you in.
Speaker 3: Violation of the law?
Speaker 13: Is that what happened to Amber? Or is this not
Speaker 13: the first time that any dog.
Speaker 23: You ownt had had poppysgnant?
Speaker 21: And I necessarily I didn't.
Speaker 3: And how all the other dogs hold on? That's a
Speaker 3: good question. If they did suspect that, they would have
Speaker 3: told her that. But what I'd like to know is
Speaker 3: what they did They say you're an unlicensed breeder or
Speaker 3: but he asked, did you ever have did you have
Speaker 3: these puppies intentionally?
Speaker 9: No?
Speaker 21: I didn't. I mean they they were born, and I
Speaker 21: didn't you know, I knew she got pregnant, but I
Speaker 21: didn't want her to get pregnant, like I didn't purpose
Speaker 21: you to get her bregnant.

Speaker 3: that right. Here's another one. How much is the pound
Speaker 3: fee for the guy wanting to get his tools? Well,
Speaker 3: they let him get his tools.
Speaker 13: The impound fee when I looked it up online on Friday.
Speaker 13: It all added up to almost twelve hundred dollars.
Speaker 3: This guy said he's willing to pay it.
Speaker 13: Well, there's some question about whether or not they're even
Speaker 13: to release the RV to him, because well, first of all,
Speaker 13: I really want to get this guy's contact information. But
Speaker 13: the Devi Sheriff's office says they actually require someone to

Speaker 3: Am I saying? Am? I saying that correctly? Kalia?
Speaker 20: Thanks, thank you for asking.
Speaker 7: It's Kaleia Kalaiah.
Speaker 3: What a pretty name? Are you Hawaiian?
Speaker 20: Thank you? No, my name is Hawaiian.
Speaker 2: Give me oh?
Speaker 3: Okay, oh okay, sweetheart? What's going on? Kalia?
Speaker 20: Yes, thank you Tom for on taking my call. I
Speaker 20: currently have been out of my home for over two
Speaker 20: years and due to water that has entered from the
Speaker 20: ex terrier and the roof.
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, you've been out of it? Is this one
Speaker 3: you own or rent?
Speaker 20: Yes, sir, this is my condo that I have owned
Speaker 20: for clothes.
Speaker 3: And when did you buy it? Okay? Ten years ago? Okay,
Speaker 3: that's all I need to know. So you've owned a
Speaker 3: condo for ten years and you've been out of it
Speaker 3: for how long?
Speaker 5: For over two years?
Speaker 3: But hold on a second, that doesn't make sense to me.
Speaker 3: Tell me what happened.
Speaker 20: Yes, So, back in twenty twenty two of August, I
Speaker 20: came home. I'm an educator, I'm a teacher the Denver Republic.
Speaker 20: I came home and there was water literally shooting out
Speaker 20: of the walls. It was a horrific scene and water
Speaker 20: was shooting out of the walls and multiple rooms.
Speaker 2: What was it?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 20: So it all It was detected to be failure of
Speaker 20: the roof and not the HOA the association homeowners association
Speaker 20: not keeping their gutters cleaned.
Speaker 3: And since then, I now, hold on, hold on, wait, wait,
Speaker 3: because this story going to go on. I want to
Speaker 3: ask a few things. So the water coming through the
Speaker 3: walls was due to a defective.
Speaker 20: Roof, yes, the negligence of the homeowner's association keeping their gutters, well,
Speaker 20: do they do.
Speaker 3: They acknowledge that they were negligent? I know you keep
Speaker 3: saying that. Do they say, oh, my goodness, Kalia, we
Speaker 3: should have fixed this.
Speaker 20: They're never going to say that. However, they disfile several
Speaker 20: cleans to assist me because matters just kept getting worse
Speaker 20: and worse.
Speaker 3: Talk what about did what about your homeowners? What did
Speaker 3: your eight what did your homeowners cover?
Speaker 20: So my homeowners currently right now, the association is supposed
Speaker 20: to be covering my out of pocket expenses and a
Speaker 20: place for me to live currently right now?
Speaker 3: Now, hold on, is that some kind of a written agreement, Well.
Speaker 20: That's in there, that's in their policy. They have multiple
Speaker 20: policies through there. I guess they're brokers and obvious. Please
Speaker 20: where it gets sticky at is that because nobody wants
Speaker 20: to pay. I sent multiple contractors out to my home
Speaker 20: and they've sent all of their findings to the association
Speaker 20: with pictures and written, Wait a minute, so what about
Speaker 20: now you still we're skating something here.
Speaker 3: You have insurance. Normally what happens, Kalia is your insurance
Speaker 3: would cover this and then go after the responsible party.
Speaker 20: Yep, so my insurance because of my condo, my insurance
Speaker 20: covered my out of pocket expenses and everything for the
Speaker 20: last two years. When I questioned farmer's insurance.
Speaker 3: What about the repairs? Are they going to do the
Speaker 3: repairs too?
Speaker 20: So unfortunately every repair company that has come in they
Speaker 20: stopped working and they viewed my place and they said,
Speaker 20: you still have water from the outside coming in. They said,
Speaker 20: so because they're continuously it's too much more.
Speaker 3: I get it. There's in other words, they're saying, there's
Speaker 3: no sense fixing it if it's still broke.
Speaker 7: Exactly exactly so, But Khalia.
Speaker 3: There's Kalaia. I don't want to gloss over this. This
Speaker 3: is very important. Does the does your insurance company agree
Speaker 3: to fix it once the water stops.
Speaker 20: Yes, they've agreed to say okay once the water stops. Now,
Speaker 20: the reason why they have not gone after the association
Speaker 20: is because in their bylaws, from what farmers have told me,
Speaker 20: it states that insurances for whatever reason, cannot go after
Speaker 20: the h away. There are no really governing documents in
Speaker 20: the state of Colorado. Excuse me to hold homeowners assoshi.
Speaker 3: Now does the okay hold on? This is so complicated
Speaker 3: that I'm cutting your short so I can ask follow
Speaker 3: up questions. I'm taking notes so I am listening that
Speaker 3: I want to know this. Does the HOA acknowledge that
Speaker 3: there is still a water intrusion problem? Yes? And yeah,
Speaker 3: then why don't they fix it? Why don't they fix it?
Speaker 20: That's an excellent question, Tom, And what they continuously keep
Speaker 20: doing is putting band aids on problems that need to
Speaker 20: be completely ripped out and remodel and refixing its entirety.
Speaker 20: I have literally suffered for the last two years.
Speaker 3: And again I am on my but here's the way
Speaker 3: it works. Here's the way it's going to work. Legally, well,
Speaker 3: it's not legal advice, but let's say logistically, here's how
Speaker 3: it's going to work. Listen carefully, the HOA Well, in
Speaker 3: a perfect world, the HUA stops the water intrusion, the
Speaker 3: HOA repairs whatever is owned by the HOA, and your
Speaker 3: insurance company takes care of everything in your unit from
Speaker 3: the dry wall in. At the end of all of this,
Speaker 3: when you're back in your place, your insurance company and
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with you, will go after the
Speaker 3: HOA if they can to subrogate. If they can't, then
Speaker 3: they don't. But you should not be the victim. So
Speaker 3: we have a number of steps here. The first one is,
Speaker 3: if the HOA acknowledges there is a water problem, why
Speaker 3: are they not fixing it? You saying they're trying to
Speaker 3: cheap out right.
Speaker 20: Yes, So what they told me via email they said, Kaleia,
Speaker 20: just get everything fixed and then we'll figure out who's
Speaker 20: that fault.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but but you can't. No, No, we're not talking
Speaker 3: about who's at faul. I don't think you're hearing what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I hope you do. All you care about
Speaker 3: right now, all you care about right now is that
Speaker 3: the HOA stops the water infiltration. It's not the right time,
Speaker 3: and to ask them to fix your condo. The first
Speaker 3: thing is to let them acknowledge they have a water
Speaker 3: problem and get it stopped. So where are we with that?
Speaker 20: So where we are with this is that? And again
Speaker 20: I'm hearing you loud and clear, trust me, where go ahead?
Speaker 20: That the Board of Health has finally signed them, even
Speaker 20: though they were supposed to find them two years ago.
Speaker 20: So with that being said, I am now trying to
Speaker 20: the border of Health has told me that I have
Speaker 20: to be present. They have to be present, and whichever
Speaker 20: contracting company that the HOA has decided to bring in
Speaker 20: to see why the water continuously continues to come into
Speaker 20: my home, we have to figure out a day in
Speaker 20: a time, so that day is supposed to be the.
Speaker 3: Exciting Okay, okay, that's good. Then what.
Speaker 20: And then hopefully everything gets fixed. However, the issue again
Speaker 20: is is yes, they've acknowledged that they there has been
Speaker 20: issues with their roofs and that they are negligent. That's
Speaker 20: why they foiled a claim for me. But unfortunately none
Speaker 20: of their adjusters have given me next steps. The HOA
Speaker 20: has stopped talking to me. My law firm that I
Speaker 20: did have at the time continuously sent them demand letters
Speaker 20: and they've ignored all of that, and so I have
Speaker 20: literally been stuck with everything. Okay, it I can't afford
Speaker 20: on a teacher salary, still paying my mortgage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but isn't your insurance paying for your temporary housing?
Speaker 20: And that's what I was trying to mention earlier. For
Speaker 20: after two years they stopped. It's been past two years
Speaker 20: and their point of why they chose to stop is, well,
Speaker 20: because you've exhausted your policy and we paid for that.
Speaker 20: And I told them I have I have new mold
Speaker 20: that has developed. My first claim that I put in was.
Speaker 13: For the water.
Speaker 3: My second thing, I have a couple of things to
Speaker 3: tell you. And you're a teacher, so I know you're
Speaker 3: you're you truly do have a group on this. So
Speaker 3: to recap this thing, it's the place, but they're not
Speaker 3: going to fix the place that is still having problems.
Speaker 3: So the HA has to stop the water intrusion. The
Speaker 3: HA acknowledges there is a water problem, but for some reason,
Speaker 3: they're dragging their feet. Why are they dragging their feet? Why?
Speaker 20: To be honest with you, Tom, I this is not
Speaker 20: what they have told me. However, the emails don't lie,
Speaker 20: and the phone calls don't lie.
Speaker 9: I just feel like they do not.
Speaker 20: Want to pay, and unfortunately I'm not the only person suffering. Yeah,
Speaker 20: they know that if they fix a building.
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yeah, I agree. So here's what we're going
Speaker 3: to do if the h A acknowledges there is a
Speaker 3: water problem. But they are dragging their feet and you're
Speaker 3: all having a meeting on Friday? Is that right?
Speaker 20: Yes, sir, the meeting scheduled for Friday at one.
Speaker 3: Okay, Now, I'd like one of my people there. I
Speaker 3: would love that to observe to find out where we stand.
Speaker 3: I'm taking volunteers Friday at one. I don't want to
Speaker 3: get you on the air on Friday. I just want
Speaker 3: to have somebody there to look at it and see
Speaker 3: what's going on here because we need we need someone
Speaker 3: to be there and observe. As your friend, and you're
Speaker 3: allowed to have that volunteers, I'll be happy to go. William.
Speaker 13: Yeah, you're here in the metro area.
Speaker 8: I take it.
Speaker 3: Where are you?
Speaker 5: Yes? You my address.
Speaker 13: Are what's a big intersection.
Speaker 20: Where's your area like Blas and Parker.
Speaker 3: Oh she's right near us.
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, I'll go.
Speaker 3: Well, you're right near us. No, fooling. Now you're in
Speaker 3: a condo where what project are we talking about? How
Speaker 3: far away from that intersection are you east or west
Speaker 3: of it?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 20: My gosh, I'm so visual.
Speaker 3: I tell you. Well, what I mean is if you're
Speaker 3: if you're standing at Parker and Iliff, do you head
Speaker 3: towards the mountains to get to your place? Yes? Really? Okay?
Speaker 3: Are you near Cherry Creek Country Club? Not that far down?
Speaker 20: I'm across the street from. Do you want me to
Speaker 20: just I'm not on the air, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you are, of course off. Hold on, no, no,
Speaker 3: we're gonna give this this h kitchen is going to
Speaker 3: get your info. We're going to send somebody there to
Speaker 3: help you. Here's here's what I want to see, Don,
Speaker 3: and I'm telling this as much to D as you.
Speaker 3: I want to make sure that the HUA acknowledges that,
Speaker 3: and eventually, if they're at fault, they should fix your place.
Speaker 3: But they're not going to, and I'll tell you why
Speaker 3: because they have an anti subrogation clause in there somewhere.
Speaker 3: But technically here's the steps. First, the HUA must stop
Speaker 3: the water because they can't you can't do repairs if
Speaker 3: there's still a problem. They have to stop the water,
Speaker 3: make the repairs, and then they have to do repairs
Speaker 3: up to your unit, your h your insurance has to
Speaker 3: fix from the dry wall in that's what they have
Speaker 3: to do. Then after all that's done, I think you'll
Speaker 3: have a claim against the HA for this extra for
Speaker 3: this extra living expense. But you don't make that threat
Speaker 3: on Friday. Hold on, Okay, Khalia, Deputy d you know
Speaker 3: you want me to that basically, you got it.
Speaker 13: Yeah, I'll give her a call. I'll get her address
Speaker 13: right here.

Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'm just so I'm so upset with

Speaker 3: Mark Shamansky genesistotalexteriors dot com. I got a question for
Speaker 3: you that came in on a text. Okay, thank you.
Speaker 3: Let me find it here, all right, Mark, He says,
Speaker 3: I don't know what he means, but he has Oh
Speaker 3: wait wait, I just had it. Oh Tom, how did
Speaker 3: you get your head on my body? Stop this?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on, let me find it where. I'm
Speaker 3: trying to find the guy that just had his dog gnet.
Speaker 3: He said he had a deck. I'm trying to find
Speaker 3: the damn thing. And I, okay, here's here's what he said.
Speaker 3: I got a deck here. He is Kolorado Springs, fifteen
Speaker 3: by fifteen deck. Here's what I don't understand. He says,
Speaker 3: with ledgers attached to my house over ten years ago.
Speaker 3: These ledgers. I don't know what he means. But he
Speaker 3: has a deck with ledgers. Do you know someone that
Speaker 3: can install a roof on my deck with the ledgers
Speaker 3: and posts? Do you have any idea what he means?
Speaker 16: Well, I mean you know a ledsgureboard that's against your house.
Speaker 16: That's what all the deck boards are screw into, or
Speaker 16: not screw into, but get nailed to with a Joyce hanger.
Speaker 16: And so again, I mean you can have that like that,
Speaker 16: that's fine, and then you wouldn't want to.
Speaker 9: You know, yeah, you just have to have all proper framing.
Speaker 16: And then yes, you can put a roof over that deck.
Speaker 3: Okay, would you have to what do you hang the
Speaker 3: roof off of?
Speaker 16: Well, you need to go ahead, run posts down the ground,
Speaker 16: put cathons in the ground, and I have that support
Speaker 16: the roof to get your proper snow.
Speaker 3: Load that So wait a minute, so that are you
Speaker 3: taking from what he's reading that the deck does not
Speaker 3: have posts.
Speaker 9: Right, Well, it's hard to say if that would be
Speaker 9: Canada levered.
Speaker 2: And not just.
Speaker 3: Because he said it's a fifteen by fifteen deck. He says,
Speaker 3: it's a fifteen by fifteen deck with ledgers.
Speaker 16: So yeah, I wonder if it's can't leave it out,
Speaker 16: but that'd be too far out. You can't leave her out.
Speaker 3: Oh, you can't do a fifteen foot deck? Can I
Speaker 3: leave it?
Speaker 2: Ever?
Speaker 3: Okay? Right? So in any case, in any case, you
Speaker 3: go to the springs, right, yeah, we do. I'm gonna
Speaker 3: have I'm gonna have them call uh okay, I'm definitely
Speaker 3: putting your name. You're right here. Okay, And let me
Speaker 3: ask you something. When you do that and hang a
Speaker 3: roof over you attach it to the house, how do
Speaker 3: you keep that from leaking behind?
Speaker 16: Well, you have to tie it into the existing roof.
Speaker 3: And well, okay, but what if the deck is lower
Speaker 3: than the roof? See what I'm picturing though, Let's say
Speaker 3: you have a deck and the deck is nowhere near
Speaker 3: your roof. You know what I'm saying, Like, it's just
Speaker 3: you can't if you had to hang it off the
Speaker 3: side of the house.
Speaker 16: Right, and so then you'd have roof choice that you're
Speaker 16: gonna have built, and you're gonna you're gonna frame back
Speaker 16: into that existing roof, and then you'll shingle that and
Speaker 16: you know, you'll have some valleys there, and you'll shingle
Speaker 16: that and gutter it, and now you'll keep it from
Speaker 16: Lincoln and you know, and also keeping the water between
Speaker 16: the deck and the house dry.
Speaker 3: Okay, So if you had the roof an existing roofline
Speaker 3: near that deck, you could do that. But if the
Speaker 3: deck let's say, let's say it's a shoe story house
Speaker 3: and the deck is on the first floor and it
Speaker 3: comes out fifteen feet and he wants to put a
Speaker 3: roof over it, a shedding roof, so it'll be tied
Speaker 3: onto the wall. Okay, well, and you can, yes, So
Speaker 3: you could put it on the wall and then flash
Speaker 3: it so it doesn't leak. Correct.
Speaker 16: Correct, You're gonna remove some siding, you're gonna put in
Speaker 16: proper flashing, some waterproofing and uh, and then re above
Speaker 16: that roof and okay. Now, then the water that hits
Speaker 16: that roof then obviously run off away.
Speaker 10: From the house.
Speaker 3: Okay, got it, by the way, Uh, thank you. Genesis,
Speaker 3: Tootalexteriors dot com always love your comments. And okay, so
Speaker 3: I got I got my YouTuber's mad at me because

Speaker 3: referral list at referral list dot com. Okay three h
Speaker 3: three seven one three talks seven one three eight two
Speaker 3: five five. Now it's uh Tim's turn. Okay, Tim, what's
Speaker 3: going on?
Speaker 10: Hey, good afternoon, guys. How are you doing?
Speaker 11: Hey man?
Speaker 3: What happened? What's happening?
Speaker 10: And so me and my wife we purchased a vehicle
Speaker 10: back in April this year from Echo Park in Thornton Park.
Speaker 10: And uh yeah, about three weeks after having the vehicle,
Speaker 10: we noticed that when you drive it with jerk cat
Speaker 10: of nowhere and now this was.
Speaker 3: A twenty twenty one Chevy Equinox, right correct? And Tim,
Speaker 3: how many miles on it?
Speaker 10: It's got about fifty three thousand miles on it right now.
Speaker 3: Oh that's not bad, So okay, keep going.
Speaker 10: So as as I took it by myself to go
Speaker 10: for a drive, I have to go cook up my
Speaker 10: daughters from Broomfield. I'm driving on the highway doing about
Speaker 10: sixty five miles an hour, heading left. Found on I
Speaker 10: seventy and my back end completely locked up, spun out
Speaker 10: on the highway and I almost almost claimed my life that.
Speaker 3: Day, and all right, Hold on a second, Hold on
Speaker 3: a second. You bought it when and then when did
Speaker 3: the lockout happen?
Speaker 10: So I bought it in April twentieth of this year.
Speaker 10: The first block up Okay, it happened January, all right.
Speaker 10: The first lockup happened July first, and then the last
Speaker 10: lockup that the sertest one just happened was about well,
Speaker 10: hold on months ago after the first.
Speaker 3: After the first lockup happened? What happened? What did you
Speaker 3: do after the first one?
Speaker 10: I contacted the dealership to have them look into what
Speaker 10: was going on with it. Echo Parks said they wanted
Speaker 10: nothing to do with it, so I had to go
Speaker 10: take it to foul or Chevy. They took it in
Speaker 10: their shopping.
Speaker 3: Well, well, okay, to their defense, this happened okay, April
Speaker 3: twenty third, right, so it happened May June July, three
Speaker 3: months later, basically correct, right, Okay. So they're thinking, yeah,
Speaker 3: I get it, but they're thinking, I don't think anyone
Speaker 3: has the skill to time that, you know, exactly like that.
Speaker 3: But look at I'm not trying to make light of this.
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is it truly may be something they
Speaker 3: have no control over. It's a used car, although it
Speaker 3: doesn't have a lot of miles on it. That's what
Speaker 3: confuses me. It's only got it only had fifty seven
Speaker 3: thousand miles on it, or you put miles on it.
Speaker 3: But in any case, in July, the rear end locked up.
Speaker 3: I've never had that. I've never even heard of that.
Speaker 3: So you're driving along and it's like both wheels just locked.
Speaker 10: Yep, both wheels locked up, and it said service Emergency
Speaker 10: park Break service ECS. My traction control light was on,
Speaker 10: My park break was locked on.
Speaker 3: So what did the dealer do at the time. What
Speaker 3: did the dealer do at the time?
Speaker 10: Told me to total it out and do an insurance
Speaker 10: claim on it.
Speaker 3: Why did you wreck it?
Speaker 9: No, I didn't reckon.
Speaker 3: Well, you don't get an insurance claim on a mechanical failure, Tim,
Speaker 3: you don't get a So wait a minute. So in July,
Speaker 3: when your rear end locked up, you took it to
Speaker 3: a dealer to fix, and the dealer said you should
Speaker 3: total the car out.
Speaker 10: My wife's sitting right here, she can vouch for me.
Speaker 10: They told me what they say.
Speaker 3: Tim, Tim, I believe you. You don't you don't need
Speaker 3: to put on witnesses. Tim, Tim, don't worry. I believe you.
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to clarify in when your rear end
Speaker 3: locked up, the dealer told you it's not worth fixing,
Speaker 3: that you should total it out. Is that correct?
Speaker 10: If the place I bought it from, Echo Park said that, yes, okay,
Speaker 10: but there.
Speaker 3: Is no insurance claim for a mechanical failure, so you
Speaker 3: can't go to your insurance for a mechanical failure. It's
Speaker 3: it's so, so what happened? Then you said it happened again,
Speaker 3: So apparently they must have fixed it right?
Speaker 10: No, negative, they didn't do anything to it. They told
Speaker 10: me that I leaned up on the park break buttons.
Speaker 3: Oh okay, so you're calling me now. You're calling me
Speaker 3: now for something that happened in July, right, So, in
Speaker 3: other words, it's been sitting there the whole time.
Speaker 10: So when they said that they were going to look
Speaker 10: at it, they never did. They gave me the car
Speaker 10: back and then it locked back up.
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, hold on, say you see with Tim, Tim,
Speaker 3: I am so puzzled. Please, I'm really trying to understand.
Speaker 3: You said it locked up, they told you this is
Speaker 3: no good total it out and do an insurance claim,
Speaker 3: but you were able to drive it away. What happened?
Speaker 3: How did they get it unlocked?
Speaker 10: I had to reset the battery.
Speaker 26: I had to take the.
Speaker 10: Positive and negative terminals off the car to restart the
Speaker 10: car and then look everything back up for it to
Speaker 10: clear itself in order for it to drive.
Speaker 3: Okay, hold on, that's genius. How did you know to
Speaker 3: do that, Tim, That's a genius move. How did you know?
Speaker 10: I'm I'm fifteen plus your mechanics.
Speaker 3: Okay, so the dealers did not know how to do that,
Speaker 3: but you did, right.
Speaker 10: So when the car got to them at the dealership,
Speaker 10: it was already done. It wasn't locked up, it was
Speaker 10: able to drive, but they weren't able to figure out
Speaker 10: what was going on.
Speaker 3: And so wait a minute, So the dealer you drove
Speaker 3: your car, your truck in or your equinox into the
Speaker 3: dealer and it was running and you could drive it.
Speaker 3: But they told you you should have it totaled by
Speaker 3: your insurance company.
Speaker 10: Correct.
Speaker 3: What would you have claimed with your insurance company that
Speaker 3: you didn't like your truck anymore? Or what what would
Speaker 3: have been or your suv?
Speaker 2: What?
Speaker 3: What claim did they suggest you could do?
Speaker 10: They told me to go totally.
Speaker 3: Don't you mean like to reck it on purpose? Wait?
Speaker 3: Wait wait they they told you to commit insurance fraud.
Speaker 10: Yes, what.
Speaker 3: And they told you you should get into an accident
Speaker 3: on purpose? Yeah?
Speaker 13: Can I say something?
Speaker 3: Wait no, not yet. This is important. They're encouraging him
Speaker 3: to commit in insurance fraud so he could buy another truck,
Speaker 3: another Equinox. But hold on, So so you said forget
Speaker 3: that and you drive it away? Then what keep going?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: I want to hear the rest of your story. Go ahead.
Speaker 10: So after they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it,
Speaker 10: I continue to drive it. And I have my family.
Speaker 10: I have four daughters and I having this big alright.
Speaker 3: Good good bye bye, goodbye? Hold on, just put them on,
Speaker 3: oh bye, we can't I got almighty. Just wait for
Speaker 3: our delay, bro, bro, I can't you know? All right?

Speaker 28: become part of our routine vernacula. These all these words
Speaker 28: that you can't say on the radio, people just use
Speaker 28: them indiscriminately. It's just normal conversation these days.
Speaker 3: Three O three seven one three talks seven one three
Speaker 3: A two five five. All right, listen, we gotta take
Speaker 3: a break and let's regroup, Tim. But here's what I
Speaker 3: want you to tell Tim. I need to know where
Speaker 3: this is going because we got to figure this out. Okay,
Speaker 3: I do want to figure it out. It happened again.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure it's anyone's fault, but but we got
Speaker 3: to explore it. I want to get Jeff thick on

Speaker 3: feat Your eyes on that people. Okay, now, Tim, listen, man,
Speaker 3: I would be so upset, especially with only fifty seven
Speaker 3: thousand miles. You got a twenty twenty one. It's relatively new.
Speaker 3: You bought it not long ago. But what we have
Speaker 3: to figure out is if the dealer somehow hid this
Speaker 3: from you or covered it up or lied to or
Speaker 3: knew about it. Because if it's truly something that happens,
Speaker 3: there's not you don't have an issue against the Echo Park.
Speaker 10: You see.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
Speaker 3: Right, Tim?
Speaker 10: Hey, this is the fourth vehicle from them that has
Speaker 10: ACKed up, so it's won right after the year.
Speaker 3: Why do you keep going back? Why do you keep
Speaker 3: going back?
Speaker 27: Man?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 10: You know, as try and throw hard in life to
Speaker 10: take care of my family, I don't have many options, man.
Speaker 10: So I was lucky that Echo Park actually was able
Speaker 10: to get me into a car.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, hey listen, let's talk about the fix. Maybe
Speaker 3: it's not that bad. Do you know what it is.
Speaker 3: I wanted to get Jeff Thick on. Did we get
Speaker 3: Jeff Onye? I want to get an expert on. I
Speaker 3: know you're somewhat of an expert. What do you think
Speaker 3: it is? Have you gotten it estimated?
Speaker 10: So the last time that happened on September twenty third,
Speaker 10: they took it into Chevy and they had it from
Speaker 10: September twenty fifth to November eleventh, and they started a
Speaker 10: pack case with Chevy where they investigated it and they
Speaker 10: said nothing's wrong with it. But right after I got
Speaker 10: it back, but they got a recall. They issued a
Speaker 10: recall for over four thousand vehicles for rear wheel lock up.
Speaker 3: For what year.
Speaker 10: From twenty nineteen up?
Speaker 3: Then why don't Okay, so why don't you bring it
Speaker 3: in for the recall?
Speaker 10: Because they say nothing's wrong with it?
Speaker 3: But what is the recall? In other words, what do
Speaker 3: they perform? Is there an action that they perform.
Speaker 10: They're saying that something's wrong with the transmission, the transmissions
Speaker 10: manufactured in these vehicles causing the rear wheels to lock up.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But what what I'm saying is when somebody comes
Speaker 3: in with a recall, what do they do with a
Speaker 3: vehicle that meets the recall?
Speaker 2: What do they do.
Speaker 10: Running the VN make sure that the vehicle is actually
Speaker 10: on the recall this and then they've serviced the vehicle that.
Speaker 3: Did they do that with yours? Did they do that
Speaker 3: with yours?
Speaker 10: I'm unsure what they did. All they said was okay, hold.
Speaker 3: On a second, hold on a sec Jeffick. Jeffick is
Speaker 3: an expert in transmissions and stuff, and Jeff Fick kimmera transmission.
Speaker 3: I'm going to ask him a few questions. Jeff, I'm
Speaker 3: not sure if you know about this, but the twenty
Speaker 3: twenty one Chevy Equinox he was driving after he bought it,
Speaker 3: it only has fifty seven miles a hundred or so,
Speaker 3: and the rear end just locked up. Scared the hell
Speaker 3: out of him. Now, what he said was he was
Speaker 3: able to reset it by disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it.
Speaker 3: Is that right, Tim, Yes, sir. And then he took
Speaker 3: it to a dealer who could find nothing wrong with it,
Speaker 3: So he took it back and it happened again. Now, Tim,
Speaker 3: in total, how many times has it happened?
Speaker 10: It's locked up ten good times, but two times it
Speaker 10: could have been fatal.
Speaker 3: And each time you had to reset it by disconnecting
Speaker 3: the battery cable.
Speaker 10: I've only had to reset it twice, so other times
Speaker 10: if I just sit and wait, it'll eventually unlock itself.
Speaker 3: Okay, here's the else sort. I know, Tim, Can you
Speaker 3: be driving literally down the highway of fifty or sixty
Speaker 3: and it locks up?
Speaker 10: That's what happened September twenty third.
Speaker 3: That could kill you.
Speaker 10: Yeah, there's two eighteen wheelers behind me, trust me.
Speaker 14: I know.
Speaker 3: Hey, Jeff, have you ever heard of this?
Speaker 8: I have not. I'm actually punching it in right now.
Speaker 8: So if anybody else has complained about it.
Speaker 3: But he said there's a recall, He says, there's a recall?
Speaker 3: Is it only on the equinox? The recall? Tim? What's
Speaker 3: the recall on?
Speaker 9: He?
Speaker 3: Hey, hold on? You found it? Hold on, deputy deputy
Speaker 3: found Deputy d What did you find? He?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 13: According to Car and Driver, which is the side I'm
Speaker 13: looking at now, The recall effects twenty twenty through twenty
Speaker 13: twenty two, Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra Yukon and Escalade. Our
Speaker 13: callers car is not on that list. However, the recall
Speaker 13: is for exactly this thing. There's a transmission valve that
Speaker 13: caused the rear wheels to lock up?
Speaker 3: Really, and what do they do about it? Well, they're
Speaker 3: going to fix it.
Speaker 13: But is it a valve kind of it's called it's
Speaker 13: some kind of valve in the transmission Jeff. But but
Speaker 13: but Chevy equinox is not part of this recall.
Speaker 3: But doesn't it seem likely Jeff, that it's that or not?
Speaker 8: Does it sound like? Yeah, I mean that's pretty much
Speaker 8: the same platforms.
Speaker 3: Yeah? How much would that cost to fix? Jeff? Approximately?
Speaker 8: I'm not familiar with it, so I would have to
Speaker 8: do more investigation into what to know.
Speaker 3: No, I mean aval like if you just had to
Speaker 3: do a valve in a transmission, I don't know. Maybe
Speaker 3: that's asked.
Speaker 8: If you were changing out a valve body and a
Speaker 8: tech them, you're probably is it roughly around nineteen hundred?
Speaker 3: Oh my god.
Speaker 13: By the way, this recall fix is a software update.
Speaker 3: It's a software update, that's all it is.
Speaker 13: That's what they're doing. Four hundred and sixty one thousand vehicles.
Speaker 3: Jeff, Which, which if he brought a car in like that,
Speaker 3: could you do a software update on it? Or do
Speaker 3: you not do that there.
Speaker 8: Yeah, we do software updates. We can take a look
Speaker 8: and see if we have access to it.
Speaker 3: You know, Tim, that might be something to try first.
Speaker 3: Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 10: Well, right, definitely, But here's and now I'm.
Speaker 3: Serious about that. I mean, we don't want to kiss
Speaker 3: you off on this. But the sad truth is I
Speaker 3: don't think Echo Park selling it to you has an
Speaker 3: obligation at this point. I mean, yeah, a moral obligation
Speaker 3: maybe to say, Man, you know, we didn't know about
Speaker 3: this blah blah blah, but you bought it as is.
Speaker 3: And Tim, I want you to first start maybe Jeff,
Speaker 3: you can even call him, give him a then number,
Speaker 3: and maybe he can run it and just see if
Speaker 3: he can get a software update for you. That might
Speaker 3: be all. Are you kidding me? Dmitri? That's all that
Speaker 3: That's all the recall does is upgrade the software.
Speaker 13: Yeah, that's what it says in about half a million.
Speaker 3: You know what it sounds like software to meet Jeff?
Speaker 3: If all if he does, if it resets itself, do
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying? Or if he disconnects the battery,
Speaker 3: doesn't that sound like he's rebooting it?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Yeah, it's pretty much clearing out codes at that point.
Speaker 3: So that's what I'm thinking. Listen here here is uh,
Speaker 3: we can.
Speaker 8: Get into it and look for that. Let's just see
Speaker 8: what has that.
Speaker 3: Tim. I would suggest before it because really, before you
Speaker 3: do anything else, at least you'll have ammunition. I mean,
Speaker 3: but I think you might be able to get it
Speaker 3: fixed without a be hassle. Let me give you let

Speaker 3: here's a text, Tom. I think Doc has a point.
Speaker 3: More and more people are dropping four letter words f
Speaker 3: bombs people you don't even expect. It's been a common thing. Hmmm.
Speaker 3: When do you think the country will ever ease up
Speaker 3: on the air, like with the FCC, Because if you
Speaker 3: think of about how the country has changed, there's stuff
Speaker 3: on TV now would never be allowed, right anyway? Three
Speaker 3: zero three seven one three talk seven one three eight
Speaker 3: two five five All right, back to the phones. Oh,
Speaker 3: we have empty lines for the first time today, so
Speaker 3: you can get right through. So now I can talk
Speaker 3: about things that are truly on my mind. One of
Speaker 3: them the drones. I don't mean to harp on this,
Speaker 3: but there's got to be a reason there has been
Speaker 3: nothing done. There's got to be and I think the
Speaker 3: president is keeping us in the dark or whoever. Why
Speaker 3: would they allow these drones this big to hover over
Speaker 3: cities in airspace? Do you know, by the way people
Speaker 3: say it's not controlled airspace? It actually is okay, No, no, yeah,
Speaker 3: there's ye space without calling controls if you have, there's
Speaker 3: certain VFR corridors they're called, and places you can fly
Speaker 3: without necessarily being in constant contact or on radar or
Speaker 3: all of that. But you certainly have to have an identification.
Speaker 3: This is what puzzles me. Everything in the air is
Speaker 3: required to have a beacon on board that transmits your location.
Speaker 3: I'm not talking about a transponder. It goes far beyond that.
Speaker 3: It came into effect in twenty twenty and it was
Speaker 3: the ADSB mandate that every plane must broadcast its n
Speaker 3: number and its position that goes along with the altitude,
Speaker 3: the lat long exactly where you are, and it was
Speaker 3: required you transmit. It wasn't required that you receive that information.
Speaker 3: But when you transmit it, government can pick it up.
Speaker 3: That's all they care about. As I said before, flight
Speaker 3: aware picks it up. And flight aware is the best.
Speaker 3: I mean, I love flight aware flight aware dot com.
Speaker 3: And you can track any plane with any end number anywhere,
Speaker 3: and in fact there are places this is what I do.
Speaker 3: When there was an accident or something, you can track
Speaker 3: that plane. They won't take it down. And then not
Speaker 3: only track it. But then when you see where it is,
Speaker 3: you go to this ATC website. I don't know if
Speaker 3: it's a government website, but it's an ATC. The I
Speaker 3: have a bookmarked where you not only now can track
Speaker 3: the airplane, but you can track everyone he's talked to
Speaker 3: along the way, and you can download the radio transmission.
Speaker 3: I once put together a video of the track of
Speaker 3: an airplane that flew out of Centennial. It was a
Speaker 3: serious aircraft. Veterinarian was driving it, was flying it, and
Speaker 3: he crashed down south. And I put together that along
Speaker 3: with the ATC communications with the tower, because I wanted
Speaker 3: to see, you know, what it all looked and heard
Speaker 3: like when you put it all together, so you can
Speaker 3: put together the complete story. You can hear people. I
Speaker 3: mean they don't, they don't censor that. You can hear
Speaker 3: radio communications right up to the last second.
Speaker 11: Hey Tom, And in this case, yeah, Because what you're saying,
Speaker 11: even like if you get a gift as a toy,
Speaker 11: even these small drones, is every single drone that you
Speaker 11: buy have to have that.
Speaker 3: Nothing has to have it. No drones have to have it.
Speaker 3: That's the point I'm making. Every single aircraft does with
Speaker 3: an n number. Every single registered aircraft in the United
Speaker 3: States has to have an ADS beacon. That's the point
Speaker 3: I'm making. What's the difference between all of those helicopters
Speaker 3: flying around in that airspace and light aircraft and drones
Speaker 3: flying around in the same airspace? What's the difference? Why
Speaker 3: do not why do they get away with not identifying
Speaker 3: themselves whatsoever? And then what about the skill level? Why
Speaker 3: is it that anyone can buy it on Amazon and
Speaker 3: fly it anywhere? It is the most ridiculous thing I
Speaker 3: have ever heard of in my life. I'm all for
Speaker 3: freedom and all of that, but this is dangerous. And
Speaker 3: again I've said this and I'll say it again. Terrorists,
Speaker 3: they gotta be thinking, we don't have to We don't
Speaker 3: have to hijack aircraft anymore, We don't have to do anything.
Speaker 3: We just buy a drone. Well, we'll buy one on Amazon,
Speaker 3: equip it with explosives or seir and gas or some
Speaker 3: other thing, and guess what. The Air Force won't do anything.
Speaker 26: The Army with one power stations for a while too.
Speaker 26: That the good way.
Speaker 3: I No one won't do anything. No one will you anything?
Speaker 13: What Tom I do have a theory why they're not
Speaker 13: doing anything about these These are US government drones and
Speaker 13: what actually theory, what I think they're doing is they're
Speaker 13: looking for you'll see they're flying a grid search pattern.
Speaker 13: They're looking for radioactive material. They have reason to believe,
Speaker 13: in my in my in my view is that somebody
Speaker 13: has smuggled something that will make that will become a
Speaker 13: dirty bomb, and they're looking for radioactive material. They're following
Speaker 13: up on some kind of intelligence. So these drones belong
Speaker 13: to one or more of the eighteen US intelligence services,
Speaker 13: and they're not exactly sharing that information with the rest
Speaker 13: of us.
Speaker 3: You truly truly believe it.
Speaker 13: Yes, they're looking for radioactive material and they have what
Speaker 13: is it?
Speaker 3: What I don't get it? What do you mean radioactive material?
Speaker 13: Like that's what dirty bombs are made with.
Speaker 3: So you think they have some kind of special cameras
Speaker 3: and stuff.
Speaker 13: They have some kind of sensors that will deter that
Speaker 13: will be kept radioactive signatures.
Speaker 3: Okay, if you had to make a theory, I'll take theories.
Speaker 3: What are your theories? People give me some theories, my morons,
Speaker 3: give me some theories. I'd like to know. Seriously, now,
Speaker 3: this I'm not kidding around. I am concerned. Now, I
Speaker 3: have some selfish concern. I fly around in that airspace.
Speaker 3: That's where I live. Chopper will tell you that's where
Speaker 3: we fly right all the time now. But even light aircraft,
Speaker 3: and I should say it's not even limited to helicopters
Speaker 3: in light aircraft. If you think about air airliners, they
Speaker 3: come in and out of that lower tier of airspace
Speaker 3: all the time. When they transition to and from airports.
Speaker 3: They have a certain that the airspace gets lower and
Speaker 3: lower and lower, the controlled airspace. This is absolutely unacceptable,
Speaker 3: and we're not being told, and they're just What I
Speaker 3: don't understand is the Air Forces, oh yeah, we're concerned.
Speaker 3: The FAA says, oh yeah, we're concerned, the fbis, oh yeah,
Speaker 3: we're everybody's concerned.
Speaker 25: How do you think the public will react THO it's like, hey, yeah,
Speaker 25: we're putting drones out there because we think somebody is
Speaker 25: building a dirty bomb.
Speaker 26: Do you think everybody's gonna be a well, okay, let
Speaker 26: them do their job.
Speaker 3: But what they could do, what they could do seriously
Speaker 3: is at least say, guess what we are. It's they are.
Speaker 3: They belong to this agency or that agency. What's wrong
Speaker 3: with that? I mean, you know, just admit their government,
Speaker 3: because otherwise we think it's foolhardy and stupid. I'm Tom Martinez.
