110624 Jimmy Hour 1

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Yeah, I tell you walk home to the show. Everybody
nice to have you, Jimmy Lakey News Talk, six hundred
kcol how's everybody doing?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
How late?

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Did it just stay out? Did you watch the speeches?
So I started dozing off a little bit again. I
wake up really early in the morning, and I did
not take a nap yesterday, so I was last night.
I was starting to fade I'm like, gosh, hey, gotta
call this election soon. We need to do something. And
then I tweeted. I think my last tweet of the

(00:44):
night was when they came out. Some guy came out
and made a speech for Kamala that said she was
going to go to bed and she was gonna talk
about it tomorrow. Well that was very reminiscent of a
comma of a Hillary Clinton back in twenty sixteen. I
don't want to see this. I'm gonna go to bed,
And I said, Okay, Kamala knows that she's not making

(01:05):
a victory speech tonight and she was going to go
to bed. So that's what I said, Okay, I can
fade off here. They're going to declare victory soon. I
stayed up as long as I possibly could, and then
I said, I gotta go to bed. I've got to
wake up. Either I'm pulling an all nighter or I'm
going to go to bed. So I I faded out
about an hour after that, and then shortly after that

(01:26):
was the actual declaration, but it was heading that direction
for sure. Good to have you here on the program. Everybody,
everybody good, everybody good. Now, this was on the schedule
before and this is not about the election, but it's
probably apropos. We talked to doctor Carol Lieberman about this
stress and anxiety that some people have because they have

(01:49):
been propagandized by the media about Donald J. Trump. And
today is International Stress Awareness Day. So to all of
you that maybe feeling stress. Whether this was on the
calendar before it was Donald Trump declaring victory, or even
after he declared victory, or before if Kamala would have won,

(02:10):
today still would have been International Stress Awareness Day. So
to all of you, let me just say happy to
all of you. We'll get through the news and I'll
go through the election and all the details, but happy
International Stress Awareness Day.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
I mean that is Happy International Stress Awareness Day.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
Stress Awareness Day. Stressing out, I'm so stressed out, stressed out.
What I'm hearing, is you stressed out? I'm more than
stressed out. I'm freaked out.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
This visual we stressed through, we foster you.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Just stressing everyone out. I really think it's time for
us to do something. It's show time, all right, there's
showtime International Stress Awareness Day. And I'm sure there's some
folks that have threatened to leave the country, or some
folks that got propagandayes and suddenly you're going to prison
or something that Donald Trump has been elected forty seventh

(03:02):
president of the United States of America. Just relaxed, taking
deep breath. That's going to be fine. You survive four years.
You'll survive another four years. And look at it this way.
Be optimistic, okay, be optimistic. That really, well, this is true,
this is true story. Donald Trump has about two years.
He's got about two years to be the president in

(03:23):
full force and implement the changes he wants to do,
and to close up the border and shut down some
of these crazy wars that have us on the verge
of World War three. He's going to have about two
years and really then the midterm elections, Democrats are going
to take back to try to take back the House
of the Senate, and then you've got about two years
before everybody starts declaring for president, and so he's going

(03:46):
to be a lame duck. And so for if you
can survive four years, you'll be going. If you can
survive two years, it'll be great. Four years. Well, all right,
here's some audio. He gave a twenty five minute victory
speech that ended that about two fifty Eastern time. So
do the math. We have twelve to fifty, just before
mid just before one o'clock in the morning Mountain time.

(04:07):
So if you had gone to bed and you missed
part of it, let me play a snippet of it.
Here he is claiming victory to become the president of
the United States once again, Donald J. Trump, declaring victory
to be number forty seven. Play the audio.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Look what happened? Is this crazy? I want to thank
the American people for the extraordinary honor of being elected
your forty seventh president and your forty fifth president. Hi
to every citizen. I will fight for you, for your
family and your future. This will truly be the Golden

(04:47):
age of America. That's what we have to.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
All right, that was it. You might have gone to bedman,
you might have missed it. I woke up to many
text messages this morning, even phone calls from afric We're
waiting on my phone. I did answer to them after
I went to bed. I went to bed turned off
the noise on the phone. So I woke up to
many that said fs and bad words. I mean, he said, yes,

(05:13):
the many. I actually woke up to a couple that
said congratulations, Ambassador Lacky. Well from your lip to God's ears,
We'll see. Nice to have you here on the show.
I have not heard yet from the Trump administration, but
we shall see if that all happens. But yeah, it's
a whole different story away. Welcome to the program, everybody.
It's the sixth day of November, the day after. You

(05:34):
can safely watch television tonight and not have political ads.
They should be all done. We will go through all
the results of the election this morning, and again if
you're just waking up because the declaration happened well past
my bedtime. I stayed up as long as I possibly could.
But if you did go to bed, you're waking up

(05:55):
to it looks like the president of the United States,
Donald's a Trump number forty seven. I told you I
did tell you this last night, I think we'll have
a lot of speakle I be a week before we
have an answerressor now you're going to have an election,
election night or election morning answer. You're going to have that.
So I did predict that correctly, and I also predicted

(06:15):
that privately. I said, Hey, Donald J. Trump's going to
win this thing. I wasn't braggadocious. I don't believe in braggadociam.
I believe in letting the results speak for themselves. But
I told all my friends who were very nervous, I said, hey, am,
I am quietly confident that this is going to be
a good night for us. And it was a good
night for Republicans, not just at the presidential level, but

(06:37):
at the House and the Senate level as well. It
looks like right now where we're at, Donald Trump is
at fifty one percent of the vote. It also looks
like Kamala Harris is at forty seven and almost a
half percent of the vote. It looks like Derek Caravello
is ahead in the eighth district, but it also that's

(07:00):
not been declared yet. Where at what I'm seeing as
we wake up this morning, Proposition one thirty one which
I voted against, is a fifty five percent yes. That
is ranked choice voting. That is not good for Colorado.
But it looks like we're headed that way. House District three,
which was Jeff Heard versus Adam Frisch, Jeff Heard the

(07:22):
Republican looks like Jeff Heard has is ahead in that race.
They have not declared it officially. Lauren Bobert has won
her seat. Of the fifty three percent that has been
declared immediately, and Lauren Bobert going back to Congress, but
she's going back in a different district than previous Amendment

(07:43):
eighty which puts school choice for parents in the constitution.
You already have the right that went down in defeat.
Not official, but it is fifty two percent. Banning a
mountain lion hunting that has gone down fifty five to
forty four percent. And the definition of marriage has been
changed in the Constitution. It was already changed in statute.

(08:07):
It's been changed by sixty three percent of the vote.
If you voted with Amendment seventy nine that was also
going to go into the Constitution about your right to
have an abortion, that's at sixty one percent, authorizing a
new level of veterinarian professionals in Colorado. That has gone up,

(08:28):
and they're going to be able to have a new
level of people at your veterinary in office that will
be able to administer care to them. Fifty two percent
has gone up there. I voted against that. By the way,
proposition KK firearms excise tax. People said, yeah, US taxos bullets,
tax of KK has gone up, which will do nothing.

(08:50):
They said, it's going to raise the taxes and it
will go to mental health care in Colorado. Mark my word,
in two to four years, you're going to hear people going,
we have mental health crishes in color Well, I thought
we passed KK. Well you did, but none of the
money goes here. It's like all the time they passed
these things that we eraised taxes is for mental health.
We're gonna raise taxes is for the kids. We raise

(09:11):
taxes for healthcare. And we never seen solve any problems,
do we except the cost of living in Colorado goes up?
But an ex science tax on firearms. And here's the
other thing that will happen with KK. Mark my word
is that a lot of mom and pop gun shops
will go out of business. And if you want to
buy a gun, You're going to be led to only
the big, big stores that can keep up with it,

(09:35):
and a lot of local businesses will go out of business.
So once again, congratulations, Colorado. We're in screwing yourself of
small business and not protecting small businesses. Proposition KK has
enacted a new tax. What else do we have in Colorado?
You have a sales tax increase on Denver health that
was a Denver issue, the slaughterhouse band in Denver. They said,

(09:59):
now we're not going to banned the slaughterhouses in Denver.
So a lot of local races, a lot of more
localized races that we don't have right here in front
of me. But I'll go through throughout the course of
the morning. But it looks like Donald J. Trump is
going to be your next president of the United States,
and January the twentieth will be the day that he

(10:21):
has inaugurated in Now Kamala did go to bed again.
I thought that was very crazy. You run this race,
you do this thing. And her people came out at
Howard Brown University made a speech and said, hey, Kamala's
going to go to bed. We're going to watch this
thing all she had to do is stay up an
extra hour and close this thing out. But she didn't.

(10:42):
And that's the point that I knew that Kamala knew
that this was done, that she knew she had no
path to victory. And that was before they called Pennsylvania,
that was before they called Michigan. But she just knew
that it wasn't going to happen, and so she headed
off to bed. And Newsmax was the very first one,
I believe to preject it. Surfing between a lot of
channels last night, I was at News Nation, I was

(11:04):
at CNN, I was at Fox News. One of my
friends was streaming to a television, my television, the Daily Wire.
I also subscribed to the Tucker Carlson Network, and he
was at Marlago. He wasn't into a lot of coverage.
He was in a lot of interviews, and so I
switched off that pretty quickly. But Newsmax was the first

(11:25):
network tot predicted declare the winner projected at their news desk.
And then you had Fox News, but it wasn't interesting.
They were slow rolling as much as possible. But you know,
it was a great sign when pretty early, decently early
in the night Georgia flipped back to Donald J. Trump
and Joe Biden barely won that thing, and it switched

(11:46):
back to Donald J. Trump. All right, what are you thinking?
Anybody got thoughts on this thing? Anybody? First of all,
remember all the fear intrepidation you were fed and spoon
fed by the media, the Provda media, you that you
should be fearful. Oprah Winfrey orca got up there. Excuse me,
Oprah Winfrey got up there and she said, she said

(12:08):
that this may be the last selection you ever vote in.
Is anybody I feel we've had this morning? Hopefully you're not.
Hopefully you're recognizing that this is just an exercise in
democracy and sometimes you'll win some, sometimes you'll lose some,
and Republicans have lost plenty. Believe me, we lost four
years ago, and there were probably some people saying there

(12:29):
was going to be doom and gloom in America. But
we have survived four years, barely. But we have survived
four years, and you're going to survive four years. And
I say this again, I think it's important to recognize.
If you're a Trump fan, you get four years of
Donald J. Trump in the Oval office, god willing, but
you also only have about two years of activity, maybe

(12:51):
even less, because you're heading towards a lame duck presidency,
and you're heading towards a you're heading towards a mid
terminal life in which they don't have to have the
endorsement of Donald Trump. So anything that's going to happen
has to happen very quickly, and we shall see how
that happens. It looks like the Republicans are going to

(13:11):
gain the House and the Senate. I think one of
the post mortems of this election is going to be
the question about whether the Democrat party reads anything in
the team leaves about how it is that they have
lost not just the executive branch, but it looks like,

(13:32):
if I'm reading it correctly, they have also are on
the verge of losing the legislative branch. What is it
that the Democrats, and maybe you're a Democrat out there,
what is it that your party should learn and can
learn and needs to learn that they have lost. You
always have to do a post mortem. You always have
to do some naval gazing, and I think it's important

(13:54):
for both parties. If you lose and you get swept,
you need to say, hey, what did we do wrong
our message? And how is it that we didn't win
this thing? I would suggest on the opening that Kamala
Harris was never running for something. She was running against
Donald J. Trump. And when you're making a big election,

(14:17):
you need to say this is what I'm running for.
For instance, Joe Biden four years ago, Joe Biden could say,
now he failed at it, but he would say that
he was running for normalcy. Let's get America back to normal,
Let's get America back past the drama. Let's get America.
But what did he do? He exacerbated with Merrick Garland
as his attorney general, and America never got to normal

(14:39):
as a matter of fact, that people thought that the justice
system was rigged, a lot of warfare, lawfair going on.
He didn't ever get us back to that, even Keel.
And then when Kamala Harris again I'm just doing a
quick post mortem, had the chance to say, Kamala, what
would you do different? What would you change about the
last four years? And she told on the view and
I heard this bitch in some commentating last night on

(15:01):
some of the networks that that was probably the biggest
screw up that she said. She wouldn't change anything, because
if you looked at the exit polling yesterday, Americans were
not thrilled with the way we were headed as a country.
And when Kamala was asked with these softball interviews, what
would you change, she said, I can't really think of anything,

(15:22):
and so she said, I can't think of anything to
change from Joe Biden, but they campaigned but this is
a new way forward. But she couldn't define what the
new way was. She couldn't define what she was going
to change, what the new way forward meant, and she
also couldn't define how she was truly a new generation

(15:43):
of leadership. But those were her campaign slogans. So outside
of sloganeering, Kamala Harris pretty much said the same damn thing,
that we're going to keep doing what we've done. And
the exit polling, which is usually not favorable to Republicans
that was coming out yesterday, which I usually ignore, it
caught my attention because it was somewhat favorable and people said,

(16:07):
I'm just tired of the status quo. I'm tired of
what's happening in this country. And Kamala Harrison, even though
she had some slogans and said, this is a new
way forward, and this is a new generation of leadership.
She had some great slogans, but she had no policy detail.
And I think that will be the greatest post mortem. Now,

(16:27):
who celebrates this morning? I think there's a couple of
people to celebrate this morning. I think privately you're going
to have Gavin Newsom that sees an opening that he
knows now he does. If Kamala would have won, Gavin Newsom,
Gretchen Whittmer, Shapiro, all of these, Josh Shapiro would have
had to wait really eight years to run for president.

(16:48):
And in eight years, you put on a few wrinkles,
some more gray hair, your life changes, you got grandkids, great,
whatever you have. And so the people that are privately
again privately, they're not going to say ay thing publicly
going okay, now's my chance, and are going to start
gearing up now privately for a presidential runner going to

(17:08):
be Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, You're going to have Josh Shapiro.
Even our own governor, Jared Polis is probably going, okay, Marlin,
He's talking to his partner, how much money should I
put into this thing? Because I'll try to buy the
presidency as well. So there are some Democrats who view
this as an upsign. Now, yes, they technically, I guess

(17:30):
they would have liked to have their girl in office,
but they're going to have an upside and that they're
going to be able to in the next let's say,
twelve to eighteen months and even maybe sooner start floating
the idea of their presidential candidacy, and this clears the
way from them. And that's why there's people that speculated
that one of the reasons you never saw Gavin Newsom

(17:53):
out on the campaign trail was one that he was
waiting for his turn to run himself. I'm not sure
what Gavin Newsom brings you, because it's California and they're
kind of crazy out there and most people know it,
but Gavin wants to run. You had Gretchen doing stupid
things like offering Communion the Holy Ordinance of Holy Communion

(18:14):
with the ritos to people. That was weird. She wasn't
helping Kamala that much. Josh Shapiro made a few appearances,
but he wasn't out campaigning, and there's some speculation that
they were like, Okay, let's get this over with. If
we win, we win, but if we don't, I'm going
to gear up my presidential campaign. So you're starting. We'll
start seeing in the next several months, the forum starting

(18:38):
to get together. The group started to get together that
is going to run for president in four years to
probably that point to take on jd Vance. But Jade
Vance will not have an open primary. Other people jump
in that thing. But you got Donald Trump for a
couple of years and then it's going to be a
lame dug presidency and we shall move on. Here's another
question to watch out for him. Are the Democrats this

(19:01):
morning going to come up with a narrative to say
Russia stole the election? Remember, Republicans talk about election integrity
and we get chastised and called bad, bad names. But
Democrats did that in twenty sixteen and it really stemy
the start of the first presidential term. Back Donald J.
Trump as Hillary Clinton launched that narrative of Russia and

(19:25):
Vladimir Putin stole the election. Will there be similar cries
this time? I'm not sure. Waiting to hear from Kamala
Harris this morning, but ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the program.
Drive safe, you're going to have some slick roads out there,
some dusting of snow, especially not a lot of them. Well,
hang on, stand by six hundred case. Wel Now, I

(20:21):
know that the race has pretty much been called for Trump.
He's at two seventy seven electoral votes only to seventy.
It looks like Nevada and Arizona still out. Both of
those probably likely could go for Trump, and I think
at that point you end up with what we call

(20:42):
the electoral landslide. At that point. But here's another interesting thing.
At this moment, Donald Trump is about eight million, nine
million votes ahead to be in the popular vote. Again,
that could all change, but the poppy vot vote is
going to Donald Trump as well. And at least at

(21:04):
this moment, all the counting has not been completed. Wisconsin
is still out there, I guess, but we'll see. But
at this point, Donald Trump is ahead of the popular
vote as well by a pretty substantial margin. And I
think it begs back the question, and again, this is
a very fair question. You've got to do some naval gazing,
you got to do a post mortem. At which point

(21:25):
do the modern Democrat party look and say, Okay, maybe
we are playing overplaying your hand. Now. I know there's
some of you that drink kool aid, and no matter
whether it's no matter what what, what style of blue
jersey they have on, you're going to vote for him
because you're a you've been propaganda's and you're a cult member.
But there's a lot of folks out there that say,

(21:46):
you know, I normally sided with the Democrats, but they've
gone a bridge too far in several different areas. For instance,
you dear with Caravel it looks like she's going to
win that eighth congressional district seat, which disappoints me because
he's my congresswoman and she will, in my estimation, has
been a disappointment. But did she campaign as her true self? No,

(22:08):
Even the outside money coming in for her framed her
as an independent and but you look at her voting records,
she was never independent. She was a She was a
hack for Nancy Pelosi. She was a hack for Alexandra
Cassio Cortes. She couldn't go in and campaign saying I'm
your deer at Caravello, here's my record. Instead, they kind

(22:30):
of framed her as an independent voice and sometimes win
against her own party. She went against your own party
like one percent of the time. So if you voted
for your dear at Caraveo, God bless him, and you
voted for her because you thought she was an independent
voice and she was up there fighting for you. All
you had to do is look at her voting resume

(22:51):
and realize that she was not an independent voice. Your
dear at Caraveo is just as radical as Alexandria Cassio Corte.
Now she's going to go back to Congress, but her
voting record is not independent. Even though the outside money
scratched the word democrat from the advertising and they put
independent dar At Caraveo, and they tried to make you

(23:13):
think that she was not she was not a radical,
but she is. But nevertheless, she voted for her. And
it looks like she's going to win that seat over
Gabe Evans. So the eighth district, now Jeff Hurd is
winning and going to win that seat up in the
high Country that a lot of folks thought the Aspen
City council guy Adam Frisch might win that thing. He

(23:34):
declared as soon as he lost last time to Lauren
Bobert in that district, he declared he was running again
and thought he may have the leg up that Lauren
Bobert changed districts but relocated, but now he's not need
to have a chance. Adam Frisch got pretty much as
heine spanked as well. So anyway, it looks like we
have the status quo as far as the number of
red and blue seats we have in the hallow halls

(23:56):
of Congress. And my friend Jeff Crank heading off to
Congress soon. Lauren Bobert is gonna head back to Congress.
I asked Lauren. I was talking to her off air,
not on the radio, but off air. I was talking
to her, and I said, hey, if you go back
in the new this other district that you're now taking
over the seat that's currently being held by Greg Lopez,

(24:16):
my friend, and before that was held by Kenny Buck.
Remember Kenny Buck. Oh, Kenny Buck. He abandoned post, he
abandoned his oath of office and just gotta headed off
into the Kenny Buck just walked away. I don't know
if he's getting I don't know if he's is he institutionalized.
I don't know where Kenny Buck went. Kenny Buck said
he was going to come back and he look forward

(24:38):
to being back at the hometown. And yet I'm not
sure Kenny Buck, there's been no sighting he's he could
be on the side of a milk cart. And does
he even live in Colorado anymore? I don't know Kenny Buck.
Greg Lopez stepped up and filled that seat. Greg Lopez
doesn't like the phrase placeholder. But Lopez is in that seat,
and Lauren Bober's gonna take the seat. I asked Lauren,

(24:58):
I said, are you going to change offices that you're
in a different district? She goes, Now, I'm going to
keep my same office. So show the same office location,
same address, just different district as she's representing. So there
is that. I think some of the post mortems, and
this is where I look at it as a I'm
a guy that issue know. I don't get all of
these guys geeked out on the polls and the numbers

(25:20):
and the stats, and you know, I look at everything
pretty much from a thirty five thousand foot angle. I
just look at the high level stuff and trying not
to get into if this district does this and this
precinct does that. That's why Bill Himmer last night on
Fox News I like Fox News, but I couldn't watch
it much because sometimes Bill Himmer was talking about some

(25:43):
district and flashing it up on the screen. I'm like,
I don't know what the hell you're talking about. I
don't know, you know, aka Akabanga County somewhere. You're making
up some name, and I'm like, I don't know what
this means. What's this relevant to me? I live in
Welld County, Colorado. That's where I live. Sometimes I got
confused by Bill Himmer. He got a little bit too
detail oriented. But they do that every year. Evidently works

(26:06):
in the ratings form, but I thought it was kind
of It's a little bit too much microscopic for me
on the old Fox News network. But some people geek
out on that stuff. And who did you watch last night?
Did you watch the Fox News again? I watched Fox
News News Nation, CNN. My friend had a stream of

(26:28):
the Daily Wire that we could access, and I had
a stream of the Tucker Carlson Show that we could go.
Tucker was at mar A Lago. But Tucker was doing
a lot of interviews. He wasn't doing a lot of
doing a lot of election coverage. I was not streaming
the Newsmax, But I was watching the Newsmax on my computer,
so I was going again. I wasn't trying to get

(26:49):
my information from one source. I was trying to get
the as much information as Again. I think the most
interesting thing about these elections is going to be the
next couple of days, even through January the twentieth, which
is inauguration Day. I think one of the biggest conversation
is going to be what is learned from this election?

(27:13):
Number one? Is there going to be some naval gazing
by the media. The media did everything they could to
get Kamala across the finish line, and they couldn't get
across the finish line. Is there going to be any
return to journalism or are they going to continue to
shoot themselves in the foot by becoming very disrespected and
propagandist and nobody's doing real journalism out there. That's one

(27:37):
thing I think that will be interesting as what role
the media will look at and say, Okay, yeah, we
screwed this up. We should have covered this with a
little bit more non bias, or are they going to
come back and say we got a double I don't
know how they could double down the NBCCBS, particularly, we're
so in the bag for Kamala that I don't know
if they could have worked any harder for her and
it didn't work. Will they wake up and say, Okay,

(27:59):
that's role. We failed at it, so maybe let's try
true journalism. I don't know if they'll do that. I
think the other thing that the Democrat Party might look at,
assuming that it looks like the Republicans are going to
gain seats in the House. They've taken over the Senate,
so you're going to have a Republican ruled in Washington,
will the Democrat Party look and say, okay, we need

(28:22):
to make some adjustments, we need to again, you dearer,
Cara Veo is a great example, you dearer. Cara Veo's
as radical and crazy as anybody in Washington, d C.
And yet it looks like she maintains her seat. And
the only way she maintains her seat is by pretending
in the eighth Congressional District that she was something she wasn't.
She was as crazy and look at her voting record
as Alexandria Cassio Cortez, but she couldn't tell to the

(28:45):
district that is there going to be a Democrat Party
that comes back and says, Okay, maybe rather than just
running ads that say we're not crazy, maybe we should
stop being crazy. Maybe we should start being more reflective
in represent what we would call mainstream America, because if
you look at those who were successful, they were ones

(29:08):
that were portrayed and or reality were more mainstream. And
so I think that will be I think that'll be
very interesting to see just if the Democrat Party makes
any adjustments in their leadership. Who is Chuck Schumer going
to maintain the leader of the Senate, is Hakeem Jeffery

(29:28):
is going to maintain the speakership of his majority leader
in the House. Is there going to be any change
in the Democrat Party. I don't think there will be,
but the party itself, I think would want to do
some naval gazing in reflection, the same way Republicans would
do if they had lost a chamber of the House.
But that's going to be interesting to see. I think

(29:51):
the other story that I think will be interesting to
read is going to be the story of the comeback
of Donald J. Trump. January sixth, four years ago. Amost
years ago, nobody would have suspected discou would be not
just the nominee, but you wouldn't suspect it that he
would actually be the president. But he is number forty seven.
All right, everybody, stand by your reflections on the election.

(30:14):
Election reflections. I like the sound of that. It's poetic,
isn't it? Eight sixty six triple eight fifty four to
forty nine? Or send me an email Jimmy Lakey at
iHeartMedia dot com. Stand by six hundred KCl All right here,

(31:10):
we are glad to have you here. Drive safe out there, kids.
For the most part, depending on where you're at, the
side streets are pretty clear. You're gonna have some snow
sticking on some of the off surfaces, but just drive
safe you because you never know. You have a lot
of elevation changes in Colorado. So I say the side

(31:30):
streets are clear, and sure enough, you're gonna not have
the side streets clear because it is. Yeah, you're gonna
not have the side streets clear because of the elevation
you're at. So anyway, dusting of snow last night for
many of you and perhaps more for others of you.
Last night as you watched the results of the election
come in, did you burn your fireplace. It would have

(31:53):
been a great night for the fireplace. I was in
my cigar room, so I did not have the fireplace
on in the great room. But I've got a beautiful fireplace.
I know that if I turned that fireplace on, I
can pretty much heat the whole house. That thing puts
out heat. It's a linear flame, beautiful fire pit. It
is perfectly centered, a fireplace, perfectly centered on the fire
pit in the backyard. And there's actually glass there. You

(32:15):
can see both of the fires going if both are
going on at the same time. But it's an open flame.
It burns clean and mean and lean, and it's not
glassed in like some indoor fireplaces. This thing puts out heat.
It really really does. Listen, do you like your fireplace?
You got to go to western fireplace and if you
were hoping for a nice fire last night, maybe your

(32:35):
fireplace puts out too much heat, or maybe it's not
a great heat source, maybe it's spotty. Listen, A lot
of that can be changed with a gas insert, change
that up. Maybe you want to do a whole remodel
and have something better looking at your fire at your house.
Maybe even thinking about a wood burning stove. Maybe you
were thinking, Wow, I'd like a fireplace in this room,
but I don't know how to exhaust it. They have

(32:55):
exhaustless fire pits. It's an amazing options. Some amazing options
they have at Western Fireplace fourteen o eight Riverside Avenue
in Fort Collins. This is Colorado's largest place. You'll ever
find fireplaces forty or so displaced on the showroom floor.
Western Fireplace dot Com, Western fireplace dot com. Now is
the time to get in there. You're gonna pick out

(33:16):
your firepedalplace, talk about a wood burning stove, whatever the
case may be. They're gonna get everything you want ready
to go. In house installers come to you and you'll
be ready to go within just a matter of a
couple of weeks, probably maybe quicker. They're gonna get you
all in there, and a lot of folks don't start
thinking about it until later, and then they're like they
miss half the winter. Western Fireplace dot Com. They also

(33:38):
have an outdoor fire garden. You can see some options
for an outdoor firepin or outdoor fireplace as well. Western
Fireplace dot com, Western Fireplace dot com, Western Fireplace dot com.
And you be sure now to tell them that Jimmy
Lakey's talking about him on the radio Western Fireplace dot Com.
All right, I have solidified finally. I had a lot
of emails out going this morning and in the middle

(34:01):
of the night, and a lot of folks who finally
get my confirmation. Of course, we'll have our regular check
in with mister Steve Laffey coming up next. He has
joined with me for many years and he's been predicting
that Donald Trump, who he did not vote for, has
not voted for, but Donald Trump would win the presidency.
So he will do his victory lap. He's not a

(34:22):
voter for Donald Trump and laughing. Going to be on
the program coming up at seven oh five. That's the
next segment. Also next hour, Barbara Kirkmeyer. She was uncontested
in her race for the state Senate, and so I
thought it was an uncontested person. I'd have Barbara Kirkmeyer
to kind of give me not just the post mortem
of her race, but what she's seeing across the state,
especially as it comes to the state legislature. Barbara Kirkmeyer

(34:46):
on with me the seven o'clock hour, and our old
friend Jeff Hayes, He's going to be on the program.
He was the former chairperson of the Colorado GOP and
I was messaging him and he's listen. I don't have
a lot of deep dive analysis, but Jeff is moved
to Texas and Ted Cruz won that Texas Senate seed
by a larger margin than some people expected. And Jeff

(35:08):
Hayes is going to give some overall thoughts about the
election and where we head is America now. And then
our former law enforcement officer and police crime expert Michael
Lett's going to be on the show as well. So
we have a big time cast of characters on the show.
I look forward to chatting with all of them, Steve Laughing,
Barbara Kirkmeer, Jeff Hays, and Michael lets all. Finally, it
took me a while to get some of their confirmations in,

(35:31):
but again, everybody's paying attention to elections last night and
not necessarily checking their emails. So we will a cast
of characters, great guest on the show begin in the
next segment of the show, including our check in with
mister Steve Laffey. All right, if you're just waking up,
you went to bed. Donald J. Trump is your president

(35:52):
elect in America and at this point, there's still a
couple of states out there, but he's got He's winning
not just the electoral vote, which could increase in his
victory margin today, but he is also a head right
now in the popular vote. He is showing the lead

(36:14):
in Nevada, it's not been declared. He's showing the lead
in Arizona, it's not been declared. And it looks like
the lead in Wisconsin. Is that right, He's in the
lead there. Kamala is in the lead in Maine, but
that has not been declared. So it could be that
we have a whole suitep for Donald J. Trump. He

(36:35):
wins the electoral and the popular vote, and as I said,
that's going to be one of the greatest stories of
political comeback in American history. Everybody stand by Lakey on
the radio. Good Morning Colorado, six hundred k col Macy's

(37:08):
next stages of music and fun, beginnings of a pressure,
virtual yellow and rising every day influence today
