Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:21):
All right, glad to have you here. You ever notice
a talk shows, cable news shows, it doesn't matter what, what,
what channel, which network, they all get fascinated by these polls.
And I guess listeners like them, viewers like them. You
see a poll, Oh, new polls, new polls out and
am I the only guy that says, wait, hang on,

(00:41):
let me look at the pole. I mean there's polls
that show Trump up here to Harris up here. And
the key is, you got to be polling what matters.
And you've got to be not over sampling one crowd
or one group. You've got to you've got to be
do you only have two names on the ballot? Are
you're considering three or four, five other names that may
get one five percent between them. I mean, there's a

(01:02):
lot of these polls that I just out looked at
a couple of websites in there a new pole, new pole,
new poll this week. And then I looked over the
left of the television screen has a new Well they're
doing the analysis of polls and screens, and I'm like,
until you look at the internal of a poll, I
don't care if it's a Fox poll or a CNN poll.
Or an ap pole or a Harris poll or a
rest mooosen pole. You got to look at the what

(01:24):
they're polling. That's a very important thing there. But so
in this election season, please do not let your mood
be swung by somebody said there's a poll out, because
you can. You can make a polls say anything that
you want to say if you just and sometimes they
do it purposefully. Sometimes they just don't know how to
poll very well, or they you know, where did your

(01:44):
sample come from? If you, let's say, interview somebody that's
a registered party member, a Democrat Republican in one area,
it's going to get a different result than a registered
party member in another area. So getting that balance of
people is a is a tough thing to do in
polling is difficult because some of these poles I still

(02:05):
get I don't know where they get my number. I
get messages on the phone we're taking a poll, which
you respond and I'm like stop and they come back
the next week and ask again. And it used to
be easier because they could call landlines. Now people don't
have as many landlines. So again not that there aren't
some good polls out there. And by the way, the
Real Clear Politics average off the Real Clear policy. That's

(02:26):
that's a farce. That's that's not even worth your time to.
I mean, it's nice to see an average, but you
got it's averaging. They're really bad polls, and they're really
good polls, and somehow one shows that somebody said fifty percent,
the other says they're two percent. They average it now
they're twenty five percent, and it's not an accurate poll
because they're they're putting in bad data, putting in bad data.

(02:47):
And that's yeah, anyway, just be careful with the polling stuff,
all right, Just get out there and work, work your
ass off, help your Candida out there campaign, vote right,
tell your friends to vote right, and don't let the
polls sway you either way with encouragement or discouragement. Because
again this is real clear. A lot of folks side
the Real Clear Politics average and it means nothing, my friends,

(03:10):
because it can be some bad bad polling data, bad data,
bad entry. They just in poll it right. All right,
good to have you here on the radio show. Jimmy
is my name. I hope you're feeling well. I hope
you're doing real well out there. And if you're not
doing real well, well, I don't have a drink. It's
National rum Day. You could enjoy that. It's also national

(03:32):
kool Aid data that made me can feel good as well.
Patrick Simmons is on the hotline. He is the vice
president for public Information at the National Right to Work
Legal Defense Foundation. He's filling in this week for Mark Mixed,
who's usually on the program. Who marks out on a vacation.
Sometimes they say, well, deserved vacation. Okay, we'll say it.
I don't know if it's true. But Patrick Simmons walking

(03:53):
on the program surfrom Right to Work Foundation.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
It's great to be with Jimmy.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
Patrick. Let's dive in here. There's a story that I
had reached out to have you guys comment on that.
Evidently Donald Trump and Elon Musk kicked off the United
Auto Workers because they filed federal charges against him because
they dared to talk about a worker strike in their
interview on X the other day. What do we know
about this? Tell us a story here?

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Yeah, well, this is very much a story of union
bosses and how they play politics as other people's money.
So you know, of course, when this charge gets filed,
it's got Sean Fain's name on it. He's the top
president of the UAW. No actual rank and file UAW
members had any role in doing this, but you know

(04:41):
they are all in for first, they were all in
for Biden, and you know you're talking about polling before
I came on here, and I don't know if he
polled his members, but he did say right after he
endorsed Biden, and this he said this on television. People
can look it up to let me be clear about this,
A great majority of our members will not vote for
President Biden. And that's what he said right as he

(05:02):
endorsed Biden. And of course he's now switched to Harris.
But they are all in for Harris now because they
think she's going to be the one who's going to
grant extreme force unionism powers to him so he can
force more people to pay him money and then he
can do more politics. And I think this charge that
was filed is very much about union officials going all

(05:25):
in on politics and seeing their source of power is Washington,
d C. And it's in state capitals. It's not actually
on the shop floor with the members who they claim
to represent. So this is a political attack and unfortunately
because the Biden Harris Labor Board has become so aggressive
and it's been so willing to weaponize its powers against

(05:47):
the enemies of union officials like Sean Fain. He thinks
he can make some hay out of this, and you know,
I think ultimately if this goes to a federal court,
it won't go anywhere. But you know, they'll drag it
out for a couple months and maybe it'll be in
a television ad or something that they use to try
and swing the election.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
It is funny when he did that endorsement for the
United Auto Workers, he led, you're right, He led the
press conference saying, now the rank and file people don't
agree with this, but we the top dogs, are going
to endorse endorse the president Harris. Help us understand why
is there this disconnect between the party or the union

(06:27):
bosses of the UAW and the rank and file members.
What are these rank and file members that don't share
the endorsement of Harris. What do the rank and file
members see or not see that their leadership elected sees.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
Yeah, well, I mean, you know, rank and file workers,
they see the same kind of things that I think
are most Americans. You know, they're worried about inflation, they're
worried about their jobs, or they're looking at, you know,
how whats things cost to the grocery store. That's the
kind of things to concern them. And when you talk
about the UAW specifically, you know, I mean the electric
vehicle mandates have been really bad for jobs at the

(07:04):
UAW and automakers all across the country, and so you know,
they're worried about that type of thing. But the UAW,
you know, getting back to our said, their power comes
from the government. It's the government that allows them to
force workers, even those who don't want the union, under
their so called representation. And then in the twenty four

(07:26):
states where we don't have right to work laws that
make do voluntary, they get to tell those workers you
have to pay me money or I can have you fired.
And so that's where most of their money comes from.
That's where most of their power comes from. And that's
why they're so focused on who controls political power as
opposed to, you know, negotiating and doing the kinds of

(07:46):
things that unions. Maybe most people think about unions as
having as their core activity being that sort of workplace representation,
but instead they're focused on politics, and they're focused on
union official power, like the power to force people to
pay dues or be fired. Even though you know, we
know from you know polls has to getting back to Polsian.
But every indication is that it makes perfect sense. Rank

(08:09):
and file workers like right to work. They like having
that choice, they like knowing that the union is doing
a good job they can pay. But if this union
goes off the rails and start advocating for things that
are putting their jobs at risk or extreme political positions
that they disagree with, they have that ability to at
least make sure they're not funding those activities.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Patrick Simmons is my guest, and he's the Right to
Work Foundation. We'll give you more information about them. Of course,
we chat with Mark Mixed from Right to Work on
a regular or somewhat regular basis. So it's good to
have Patrick on the program, changing it up for us
for those who don't know. And we'll come back to this.
This is what the United Auto Workers said on Tuesday
this week that they're going to file federal labor charges

(08:50):
with the Labor Board against President Trump and Tesla CEO
Elon Musk after their conversation on X talked about a
worker striking, and let me give you the exact quote
from Axios and is flagging this comment by Donald J.
Trump quote I quote. I can't do an impersonation or
I would you walk in, you say you want to quit,
They go on strike. I won't mention the name of
the company. But they go on strike, and you say

(09:12):
that's okay, You're all gone. You're all gone, So every
one of you is gone. And evidently is he illegal
to threaten to fireworkers for going on strike or actually
to do so? The union says Elon Musk laughed at
the comment, and the uaw's upset about that. So was
that comedy illegal? It was he threatening to fire someone
on an illegal basis? There?

Speaker 2 (09:33):
No, No, I don't think so at all. And I've
listened to that. I've listened to a bigger context. I mean,
the idea that laughing at Donald Trump joke on Twitter
is now illegal according to the UAW, and they're asking
the National Labor Relations Board to rule that way is
absolutely outrageous. I mean, we have a first men in
this country, and that is all is talking about things

(09:54):
the actual incident. It's a little hard to tell what
they're referring to, because it's it's you know, this brief
five or six second clip in you know, two hour
long conversation. But I mean, I think this is something
that happened a couple of years ago at Twitter. The
Statute of limitations for the National Libor Relations Act of
six months so a that you know, to extend anything

(10:15):
that they're describing took place. That's a long time ago.
And actually I looked it up because obviously, you know,
this is this has become big news.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
The Biden Harris Labor Board and Administrative Law judge just
last month, in a case against Twitter for that whole incident,
said that actually nothing was wrong and they didn't violate
the law at all. So you know, this is very much,
I think a political stunt, a political attack. But they

(10:45):
they unfortunately have a friendly agency at at the National
Labor Relations Board, which is of course, you know, is
stocked with Biden appointees, and and they do criminalize speech
just basically because unions don't like it. I mean, they've
prosed suited people for jokes on Twitter already. The Amazon
of Amazon CEO was on CNBC and he made a

(11:08):
simple comment about the fact that, well, if you're bring
in a union to the workplace, that's going to add
a lot of bureaucracy, which is pretty much the definition
of a union. And maybe some people think that's good
in some circumstances, but I don't think anyone could argue
that that's just a purely factual statement. And yet you've
got this National Labor Relations Board trying to prosecute him
for that, claiming that's a threat against workers. So you

(11:29):
can see how extreme they go in these situations, and
you know, freedom of speech is not something that seems
to concern them very much.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Patrick Simmons, and I guess one more quick question for you.
Sean Fain, the UAW president, said in a statement after
filing with the National Labor Relations Board. He says, quote,
both Trump and Musk want working class people to sit
down and shut up, and they laugh about it openly.
It's disgusting, illegal, and predictable from these two clowns. UAW

(12:01):
President Sean Fain. Forget the disparaging comment of calling people clowns.
Is it true or untrue? And should workers be fearful
out there that Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Let's say
Donald Trump's running for office, Elon's not. Is there anybody
any reason that people should be fearful that Donald Trump,
if you're a working class person, wants you to sit
down and shut up? Is there any proof of that? No?

Speaker 2 (12:24):
I don't think so. In fact, it's kind of the opposite.
I mean, Sean Fain is the one who's telling his
own members, I'm going to spend all your money on
candidates that I know many of you will not support.
He's the one saying, you know, famey or be fired,
And that's, you know, really what I think. Grow test here,
and frankly, let's also forget. This is the guy who's

(12:44):
under a federal investigation for corruption. Supposedly, according to recent reports,
he was trying to get financial benefits for his girlfriend
and he demoted another UAW official who wouldn't go along
with that. So he's got his own problems, and he's
wasted plenty of his members money on this stuff already.
And if he had actual respect for the rank and
file workers, he would let them choose whether or not

(13:07):
to support him in his outrageous politics instead of forcing
the pay up or be fired.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
Patrick Simmons, I appreciate you filling in a little bit,
taking a hit for Mark Mix who's out on vacation.
For those who are not familiar with the National Right
to Work Committee and the National Right to Work Legal
Defense Foundation, give us summation of it. You've got two
point eight million member public policy organization. And if folks
want to learn more or need the help of the
National Right to Work Committee, what do they do? Sure?

Speaker 2 (13:37):
Yeah, So the National Right to Work Committee, they lobby
for right to work laws. They lobby against more forced dues,
powers for union bosses, both in Washington, d c. And
in state capitals, and then assist the organization. The National
Right to Work Foundation assists workers who had their rights
vilely by force unionism. And if you go to www

(13:57):
dot NRTW dot org, people can learn about those rights
and they can learn how they can request free legal aid.
They can also call us at three one hundred three
three six thirty six hundred. We represent employees for free
when the rights.

Speaker 1 (14:11):
Are violated in RTW dot org. That's correct, National Right
to Work right, that's it in RTW dot org. If
you wanted to learn more about it and how you,
as a worker might be able to get some free
legal representation in these types of matters. Patrick Simmons, pleasure,
thanks for hopping on the program. Give us some clarification

(14:31):
on this filing of a charge with the National Labor
Relations Board against Donald Trump and blah Elon Musk. Yeah,
you're you're welcome. I had forgotten about that story about
the Amazon CEO saying that, and he said it's going
to have bureaucracy, which then that drives the price up.
It's going to drive the price up at Amazon. They're
to pay for that bureaucracy, but they want to get

(14:52):
that guy in trouble as well for daring to say that.
All right, good to have you here on the radio show.
I just got this wonderful information I want to pass
on to you. To know what yappy hour is. It's a

(15:58):

But Christy Nome's still not going to be out today'
to take your dog on a walk of the park. Sorry,
Friday the thirtieth, all right, now, my mom? Oh reading going?

(16:41):
Where did I screw that one up? I don't know anyway,
that's all right. It's as long as your dog's say
from Christy Nomes, that's the thirtieth. Okay, so the thirty
not today. If you take your dog there today, it
may not be live music or something. I don't know.
All right, Good to have you here on the radio show.
Jimmy is my name. It may have been following this
Matthew Perry thing. They've charged five people, and one of

(17:03):
the people that they charged is a lady that has
a nickname of the Ketamine Queen. Well, what kind of
nickname is that? That's a crazy the Ketamine Queen. It's
really fascinating evident. They've uncovered text messages between doctors going
how much will this idiot pay for this stuff? So,
I mean it was really almost a conspiracy to get

(17:24):
him ketamine. He wanted it, he had struggled in an addiction.
He's trying to get it through back channels and they're like, well,
how much the hell is going to pay for it?
And they I think the charge says these doctors should
have been protecting him and helping him stay sober, and
instead they were trying to figure out how much money
they could get out of Matthew Perry. It's a real

(17:45):
tragedy and I kind of like seeing that the drug
deals being held responsible, the devers being held responsible. I
wish we'd do the same thing for fentanyl. Yeah, I
wish we would may be strict on this stuff. I'll
be back Lakey on the radio six hundred a col Well,

(18:42):
Heidi ho neighbors. It's Friday. I like Fridays. You like Fridays.
I don't think Fridays are very nice. They're very good.
I think everyday should be a Friday. I don't know
how that works, so never mind, ladies and gentlemen. Good
to have you here on the show. It's nash Little
kool Aid Day, National kool Aid Day, so maybe get

(19:02):

we were kids. Kool Aid just my kid. My son
was never fascinated by kool aid. And you know so
the kool Aid Day is today. It's also National Telejoke Day.
And the only joke I can remember is one that's
not appropriate for radio. I'm not good at remembering jokes,
but I'm gonna go to Christy Burnon, brad let' tell

(19:24):

She sent me an email Jimmy Lake at Heheartmedia dot com. Hey, Jimmy,
did you hear about the blonde that tried Rocky Mountain
oysters for the first time? She ended up in the
er And I wondered, Linda, how did she end up
in the er? Well, she tried Rocky Bound oysters for
the first time and got kicked in the face three
times and dragged a half a mile rim shop. Please,

(19:47):
all right, thank you Linda for your humor about Rocky
mount oysters. All right, ladies and gentlemen, I want to
bring into the conversation with Advanced Colorado. She used to
be the chairperson of the Colorado GOP and she's on
the hotline. Christy Burton Brown is my guest talking about
the special session of the Legislature. Christy Burton, proud to welcome.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
Back on Thanks so much, Jamy, great to be here.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
We've the gallagram mimbigat. Also, we've screwed up that thing.
A couple of years ago in the state of Colorado,
property taxes have been just out of control. In the
state of Colorado, Jared pulld Us called a special session
that kind of did absolutely nothing. Supposedly, in the last
session of the legislature, the very last minute, they put
together a bipartisan bill that was supposed to fix our

(20:30):
property taxes. Nothing's gotten better, really, just a whole lot
of saying that we're going to do it, or we
have done it, and now we're going to have another
special session to fix the property tax debacle in this state.
To catch us up to date.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Absolutely, and you're right, it's been a whole series of
missteps by the governor and the Democrat controlled legislature claiming
to fix property taxes for people and failing to actually
give real relief. I do expect this special session to
be different because what's driven them to the table this
time are the two ballot measures that it is Colorado

(21:05):
is sponsoring that would be a cut in a cap
to people's property taxes. That honestly, the Democrats are very
afraid of these ballot measures, and so they've come back
to the table and said, Hey, is there a deal
we can reach? And so this deal, if they do
pass what they have agreed to pass in the special session,
we are supportive of it. We would pull our measures

(21:26):
off the ballot if they follow through on their end
of the deal, because it would guarantee a cut in
caps of property taxes to Colorado and save a total
of one point six billion dollars per year if this passes.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
What what how would people have? What's the practicality of
how would people A lot of people say their property
taxes doubled or went up by fifty percent. What would
be the practical impact if they passed the bill that
they say they're going to pass in the special session.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
Yeah, that's a great question. And on average across the state,
those property taxes went up at twenty five or thirty percent,
So it's a giant spike. A key component of this
bill that was also in our ballot initiative is a
permanent cap on property taxes so they cannot spike in
the future. This bill, it would be a five point
twenty five percent cap on local governments, a six percent

(22:17):
or inflation cap on school districts. And that's a big
piece that was missing in the legislative bill during the
regular session. They didn't want to cap school districts at all.
And that's a significant portion of people's property tax bill,
and so we got that included. It's a really, really
big win for people. And then in addition to a
cap is also you know, a cut to the rates

(22:38):
both for commercial that affects a lot of businesses in
Colorado and residential. It would cut it down to six
point three or six point four percent for residential right now.
It's supposed to go up to six point seven percent
next year. So people actually, if this passes, we'll see
a decreased property tax bill next year. And it takes
commercial from twenty nine percent down to twenty five percent,

(22:58):
so big decrease there as well. And then Jimmy, I
think one of the biggest wins for people is the
ballot language that would be included in this bill. If
a local government ever wants to go beyond the cap
and reverse it. They have to go to the people.
So like caper for property taxes, which is what we
were demanding in our ballot measures, but the specific ballot
language is actually included where they can't lie to people

(23:20):
and trick them into getting rid of the property tax cap.
It will have to directly say and ask people if
they want to repeal the property tax caps in their district.
I think that's essential.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
So in theory, once this passes, assuming get passes and
assigned by the governor, in the next time we get
a property tax bill or your assessment, it should go
down because of the everything's changing, so that everybody would notice,
obviously a different person to person, but everybody in every
county the city would notice a lowering of their property

(23:50):
tax bill, which would help us here in this state. Now,
if the legislature gets together and they say they're going
to pass this bill and Jared Poula says he's going
to sign it under thread of Advanced Colorado running these
ballot initiatives, what happens if the legislature gets together and
they start adding amendments and adding things and taking things away.
I mean, it's possible that what's been negotiated privately and

(24:12):
good faith. They could change it all once the legislature
gets a session. Am I incorrect?

Speaker 3 (24:17):
No, you're absolutely right, And you know, I think on
one hand, this has been negotiated not just with Democrats
a large with the actual leadership and the governor, the
governor's office, and so I do think they're extremely motivated
to make sure they go get the vote and also
that they stick to the deal, because here's our side
of it. Without that deal being followed exactly on what

(24:37):
we've agreed on, we will run our ballot measures and
we are confident that we can go to the people
and win. But I think that's going to be the
result if they go beyond the deal, if they don't
quite meet the deal, and they let you know, Democrat
Progressive Democrats and the legislature run away with their own
plan instead, well, a deal to the deal, and if
you don't meet the deal, we don't need. So I

(25:00):
think that's what's on the table there is they've really
got to stay within the bounds of this deal or
they're going to face these ballot measures, and we're happy
to go either way. I think the advantage to this
deal Jimmy is that it is a guaranteed win for
the voters of Colorado. Obviously, whenever you bring a ballot measure,
I mean you've got to go raise millions of dollars
while the other side is trying to raise millions of dollars.
Maybe you go win everything, but maybe you get nothing.

(25:23):
Whereas with this how it's been negotiated, it's a guaranteed
cut in cap of property taxes for the people of Colorado.
That's locked in by Tabor as well the.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Voice of Christy Burton Brown. She's working with Advanced Colorado.
And the special session kicks off and a week or
so and we'll follow it right here on the program.
Christi Bertenberg, what does it tell us? And this is
I'm glad they've coming to the table and they're willing
to put a solution on the table. But what's really
I think the most interesting thing is they could have
solved this longer to go. They could have done this

(25:52):
a word serious. Jared Poulos has been devoid of leadership
in this. He should have been the last legislative session
in the spring sorted in January. He should have said, hey,
I'm want to touch it any bill until we fix this.
They have just not been that interested in solving this
huge problem that affects everybody in Colorado. What does it
tell you about their desire and their motivation to help people,

(26:15):
and that they're almost kind of being held over the
barrel here to do this.

Speaker 3 (26:19):
Well, I think you're so right about that, Jimmy. I mean,
Gallagher is repealed years ago, and there was always the
promise of, Oh, we're going to fix property taxes. Well
they didn't fix it, and people got that thirty percent
spike last year and could easily be more spikes in
the future with how the laws currently set up. So
I think despite the governor's the constant language of oh,
saving Colorado his money, he hasn't pushed his legislature until

(26:41):
now to find an actual solution. What forced him to
get to the table now, it's the voice of the people.
It's people supporting ballot measures that will save themselves money,
that will cut in cat property taxes, and with the
governor sees that that is a real a real threat
for the people of Colorado rising up and saying we'll
do it for ourselves if you're not going to do
it for us. Now they're back at the table and.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Yeah, so suddenly I gotta do it. Suddenly they're real solution.
They've wasted money in a special session that was a
farce last year. I mean they've they've it's all been
smoking mirrors and hopefully now we get a real solution.

I remember this week that Steve Laffey joins us every
Tuesday on the program. Right, Steve Laffy is joining us? No,
he every Wednesday. Steve's on Wednesday. Every week he's here,
And this week he wasn't here on Wednesday because he

(29:15):
had had to fly. So we came in on Tuesday
on the show and see he was going out to
fly to see a Boston Red Sox game and his daughter,
Sarah Grace, he talked about on the radio on Tuesday
and said the Wednesday be is he talked about she
was going she was going to sing the national anthem there.
And if you followed Steve and been on the show,
and we talked a little bit about a private matter.

(29:38):
Sarah Grace many years ago was diagnosed with cancer, and
by the grace of God, she is still here with us,
but still considered to have stage four cancer and she
lies at least now. She's a wonderful young lady. She
was in her teen years when she was first diagnosed
with cancer. And again, miracles and miracles, she's still with us.
But she got the opportunity need to sing the national anthem,

(30:01):
and Steve posted up some audio of her singing the
national anthem Wednesday for the Boston Red Sox baseball game.
I almost said football because I got I got football
on my mind. It's almost that time. Let me play
this audio. This is Sarah Grace. This is just a
portion of it, the audio from the Boston Red Sox game.

(30:23):
Let me play it. This is Sarah Laffy, Sarah Grace

version of it. You hear Steve Laughy mean the brown

Pray for Sarah Gray. She's still got that cancer and
