Speaker 1 (00:00):
Either way, Ashley Key so excited to have her live
on Ryan Schuling live and in studio. Ashley, thank you
for your time, Thank you for having me now. When
you approached me, this genesis of radio advertising was a
new world for you. It still a new world it
is and it is for me in a lot of
ways too. But what prompted you, what motivated you to

(00:21):
pursue this realm, was something that you felt very strongly about,
and that is parental rights, the fight that Jeff Co
Kids First is making, led by Lindsay Dako, who you've
become friends with. If you could just take our audience
through exactly, what was that kind of unifying moment where
you want, you know what, I want to do something.
I want to get out there. I want to get

(00:42):
my name out there, and I want to connect with
an audience like this one.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
So I think so much of it has to do
with my business used to be moving people to this
date com move to Colorado. There's elk, there's mountains, it's beautiful,
you can ski. And what has shifted is that people
are calling me now to move them out of the state.
And I'm seeing and feeling and experiencing a mass exodus

(01:06):
that I just thought I would love to help conservatives
who are weary of the politics here, the schools, things
like that, to get out of the state if they
choose to do that. So I love what you're about,
thank you, and grateful for your supportive Jeff co kids first,
and so it was just a natural fit for me

(01:27):
to partner with you.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
There are those and I get both sides of this that,
like Lindsay Dadco, I question her all the time, why
is this worth the fight? I mean, it's such an
uphill climb, and there's so much work and thicket to
cut through, and a lot of people, like you said,
they're just cutting and running and they're going to a
red state. And I don't blame them whatsoever. But there
are those that stand in the breach, who stand and fight,

(01:50):
who refuse to give up, and Lindsay Dadco is certainly
one of those people. But this is happening on a
lot of different fronts that Colorado is struggling. Cost of living,
so housing is one thing, but it's just across the boar,
the affordability of living in Colorado that has gone off
the charts in terms of expense, and we're seeing things
close down that typically have been very successful, like a

(02:13):
local brewery recently decided they were going to close up
their doors in a tap room that was very successful,
or at least it was for a time not that
long ago. And this from the Denver Post Judith Kohler.
Can downtown get its swagger back? Denver leaders agree it's
both possible and vital, and yet downtown is struggling. The
Sixteenth Street Mall being renamed Sixteenth Street, the Colorado economy

(02:36):
being what it is, So all of these factors, I
know they come into real estate Ashley and exactly what
you're looking at and who comes to you and what
they're telling you. But I just kind of gave like
a rough sketch there. But as you fill in the
details from just what you're hearing from clients about living
in Colorado, why has it become so problematic for so many?

Speaker 2 (02:56):
I think for me, you know, telling people you should
move here, have to also consider where will their kids
go to school, where will their husbands work?

Speaker 1 (03:06):
Is it safe?

Speaker 2 (03:07):
And I've sort of reached a crisis of conscience moving
people here, knowing that finding the right schools and you know,
working safely Downtown is just a harder thing than it
used to be. We moved here ten years ago, it
was very safe. I used to take my daughter downtown
in a stroller, and I would I would not do

(03:28):
that anymore, and so've I've had a hard time shifting
my messaging from you have to move here to I
understand if you need to leave, and I'd.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Love to help. Ashley Key, you can find out more
keyfront Range homes dot com. And going back to that point,
Colorado reporting a total of forty one breweries that closed
last year. This isn't COVID related stuff, not anymore, not
in your twenty twenty four, but that's from the Brewer magazine,
and it seems like one after the other, whether it's

(04:00):
in Colorado Springs or right here in Denver and the
surrounding metro area. This is an indicator because Colorado, along
with Michigan quite frankly in some of the Northwest states.
There are breweries in Oregon and Washington. But this is
one of the lifebloods of the experience of living in
Colorado is the craft beer world and exactly how many
destinations and venues that are here to be supported by

(04:23):
business that comes from investment from people who move here,
from people who live here, from people who choose to
dine here and go out. But this is what you
brought to my attention, Ashley. I want to share this
with the rest of the audience. This is from pods,
So you see these in a neighborhood, these big structures
that move materials. But they recently released. It's twenty twenty
five Moving Trends report highlighting the top US states and

(04:45):
cities people are moving from and two based on long
distance move data collected between January of last year and
March of this year. So it's fairly recent Top States
and Cities. I feel like David Leunteran right now, the
top states and cities people are leaving in twenty twenty five.
The report identifies several regions experiencing significant outbound migration. This

(05:07):
one won't surprise anybody, not even Gavin Newsom slash Patrick Bateman,
the governor of California American psycho. California continues to lead
with the highest number of moveouts, seven cities in the
top twenty. Think about that, seven cities in the top
twenty for outbound moves. Los Angeles tops the list for
the fourth consecutive year, followed by San Francisco, the Bay

(05:28):
Area in San Diego, San Diego. San Diego used to
be a dream destination for so many people. Why would
you leave San Diego. Factors contributing to this trend include
high housing costs, taxes, natural disaster risks. Florida might be
a surprise here. It was a hot state for a
long time. It's becoming very crowded and very expensive, it says.

(05:48):
Once a top relocation destination, Florida now sees a reversal,
with areas like South Florida, the Miami Metro, and Tampa
Bay raking high on the move outlist. Rising living costs,
including soaring home home insurance premiums, and property taxes, along
with increased natural disaster risks, are influencing residents to relocate.
Next on the list New York and New Jersey. They're

(06:09):
kind of lumped together. Both states continue to experience high
outbound migration, with Long Island and Central Jersey featuring prominently
on the Move out list. High taxes cost of living
are primary factors driving this trend. Illinois Chicago ranks among
the top cities people are leaving, influenced by concerns over
crime rates, taxes, cost of living. So, with the exception

(06:31):
of Florida, what do you got here so far? California,
New York, New Jersey, Illinois. These are some of the
most highly populated blue states. And if you look at
the forecasts for the twenty thirty census and the corresponding
House seats allocated, electoral votes allocated, there are forecasts now
that the presidential election might soon become unwinnable for Democrats

(06:54):
because California, New York, Illinois, even New Jersey right here
you just heard it. Are we going to be losing
representatives in Congress, in the House, losing electoral votes? And
where are they going? We're going to get to that
on this list as well. But the final in the
top five here Colorado, Denver has moved up in the
rankings now among the top ten cities people are moving

(07:15):
out of due to factors like rising housing costs and
urban congestion. I don't want to get two into the
weeds here, Ashley. But when it comes to property taxes,
and we've had some litigation along these lines, when it
comes to movement in the General Assembly, property tax relief
Gallagher Amendment being rescinded what is going to be the

(07:36):
stop gap for that? And there's been a lot of
trouble along those lines. What have you witnessed, especially in
your end of real estate, because you deal with a
lot of high end homes in very desirable locations, but
with regard to these ancillary expenses in addition to the
home itself.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
So I think it is the cost of living for sure.
How much more you can get another places is pretty astounding,
But I think bigger than that, it's where are property
values going. A lot of landlords have had to cash in.
They passed some a couple of laws in twenty twenty four,
in twenty twenty three that made being a landlord harder

(08:16):
property tenant rights versus landlord rights. So I've lost a
lot of investors that way. So it's the cost of living,
it's the politics, it's the schools, and you know, tenants
rights versus landlords rights.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
On that note, I'm glad you brought that up because
my colleague Ross Kominski across the hall at KOA, I
remember a time this was post COVID, immediately post COVID,
as I recall that he typically would be a home
buyer a home owner, and he got out of a
home and began to rent. And I kind of observed
that there were a lot of people that might otherwise

(08:53):
be homeowners home buyers that decided to rent apartments instead,
and that would drive up the cost of rent, it
would reduce the availability of apartments, therefore increasing the scarcity
of available apartments and affordable apartments for that matter. What
has been the trend maybe over these last several months
last calendar year, between those who are renting versus those

(09:15):
who are buying? Which direction is that going? What have
you noticed?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
I don't deal much in rentals.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Are there more people leaving rentals to buy, to come
to you to buy or is it going to.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
Other people are not buying as much now, waiting for
the interest rates to.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Go down, Yes, exactly.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
I always say they're waiting for the market to sober up.
It's just been a little bit of a wild ride
for a couple of years, and we're ready for it
to settle down and thanks to be a little bit
more predictable.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
Ashley Key joining us key front range homes dot com
is where you can find her. And kind of to
the earlier point about apportionment of House seats and electoral votes.
Here are the top states and cities people are moving
too in calendar you're twenty twenty five, and notice what
color these states are on the electoral map. The Southeast
region dominates the list of top moving destinations. North Carolina

(10:04):
leads with five cities in the top twenty for move ins,
including Raleigh, Charlotte, and Greensboro. The state's appeal lies in
its lower cost of living, job opportunities, a lot of
banking there, and access to outdoor activities. South Carolina. I
love South Carolina. Sites like Myrtle Beach, Greenville, Spartanburg are
attracting new residents, offering affordability and a laid back lifestyle. Tennessee.

(10:28):
Tennessee is scorching hot, not just in the summer, because
it is and it's real steamy there too, but the
smoky mountains and you've got Nashville. I think Nashville might
be the top of the list for Kelsey and me.
I hate to tell people that because I don't want
to give it up, but that's not even a secret anymore.
But cities like Knoxville, Nashville, Chattanooga on the list. Tennessee
appeals due to no state income tax. That's big, lower

(10:49):
housing costs, vibrant cultural scenes. Texas remains very hot. Dallas,
Fort Worth, San Antonio have reappeared on the move in list,
indicating a resurgence in popularity due to job opportunities and
a relatively lower cost of living compared to other major
US cities. Our friend Corey, friends Corey and Gretchen just
moved here from Colorado to Oklahoma. And that is, if

(11:12):
I'm going to offer a prediction, Oklahoma is ruby red.
Every county in Oklahoma went for Donald Trump. Montana is
hot too, for a lot of different similar reasons. But Oklahoma,
I predict, is going to appear on this list sooner
rather than later. But just this threshold, I guess, is
what I'm observing here, ashley of people flocking to these

(11:33):
red states. They have less government, they have lower taxes,
they have more affordability, they have more job opportunities, businesses hopping.
When you hear the states that I mentioned, what really
strikes you about that?

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Well, one thing when I was researching all of this
through leaving sanctuary cities sanctuary states, that's one hundred percent
of the ones that are in the top twenty are
all sanctuary cities and states, so crime is a big thing,
and then just being a to get more for your money.
In the other states, conservative states, being with like minded people,
no longer being like I've had to sort of silence

(12:08):
my voice, but have instead chosen not to painting myself
into the conservative corner, but just deciding to roll with it.
But in these other states, you're free to just be
who you are and support who you support and not
feel like it's going to affect your business, which it
has affected my business so affected in one way, in
a negative way. Just a lot of people know I'm conservative.

(12:30):
I chose to not silence myself at one point and
just noticed, you know, people sort of disappearing from my
client base. But I think I made the right choice.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
Well, I know that you did, and we're going to
make hopefully a lot of those clients reappear in your
client base from this listening audience, because folks, if you
want somebody who's like minded, that believes what we believe
here on this program. Fundamental rights, I mean basic stuff,
parental rights, fighting crime, I mean fighting against this madness,
transing the kids, finding against Phil Wiser, who we heard

(13:03):
earlier I'm gonna get political. I don't Nashley doesn't need to,
but I will saying that this fire bombing maniac who
said death to all Zionists, that lit an eighty eight
year old Holocaust survivor on fire, and Phil Wiser goes
on sea and I goes, well, you know, the family
might still be asylum worthy, and it's like, no, any

(13:23):
reasonable person is going to want to punt that family
clear out of Colorado and back across the border. And
that goes without saying. Similarly, Arapaho County and Amy Padden,
eighteenth District Attorney giving probation to a fifteen year old
illegal alien who commandeered his mom's vehicle without her permission,
who drove without a license, who drove ninety miles an

(13:46):
hour and a forty five with kids in the back
of the vehicle, t boning, broadsiding a young twenty four
year old woman and killing her. And yet Amy Patten goes, well,
we don't want him deport it because we needed that
kind of person here in Colorado, so probation only. Luckily
we have people like John Fabricatory working behind the scenes.

(14:07):
Tom Holman appearing with Sheriff Steve Reimsweld County earlier this
week when that family has been marked for deportation. But
to put a fine point on it for you, Ashley
to comment upon, and that is, people want to live
where they feel safe. People want to live where they
feel like their kids are safe. Right. People want to
live where they feel like they have agency and decision
making power over what happens to their kids in their schools,

(14:29):
on the streets. And these are some basic expectations that
I think most Colorados would agree with.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
I agree. I think it's when it comes to the
kids that's everything. So so grateful for the people that
choose to stay and fight, that use their voice for good,
like Lindsay dat Cohen, Jeff co kids first, but also
understand the people that have had enough and are ready
to move on.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
So whichever way you're going, Ashley can help you out.
I would love to key front range homes dot com.
That's key, key why front rangehomes dot Com. I'm a
nunciating there, but actually as kind of a final farewell
pitch for the listeners out there as to what they
will get if they enlist your services.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
That set you apart just one hundred percent all in
I'm if I'm committed to you, I'm committed to you.
I do really well getting top dollar for houses through staging, marketing,
through LIFs odabs, highlight photos, all the things.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
I've seen that you can go online and check some
of those out right at the website there.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yes, but it's just all in, one hundred percent committed
getting top dollar. My last two listings sold three days
on the market. We got a whole lot more than
other people thought we would, and it's just because of
that commitment to really showing your house off, putting it
in the best light.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
And something else that you've offered up that I've talked
about in reading what you have to offer for our
listeners out there is if you're not able for whatever
reason to help them directly personally, then you're going to
refer them to somebody or help them out and get
them on that right path right and.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
That would be very intentional, getting to know them, what
their needs are, where they are, and finding somebody that's
an expert in that area that would be the right
fit for them personally.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
You are the right fit for this program, Ashley. We
are so proud and excited to have you as a
sponsor of this show. We're going to do whatever it
takes to help drive business your way. And I know
a lot of listeners out there maybe they're looking for
someone like you. You say you lose clients because of your politics.
I think you're going to gain many more because of
what you stand for. And bring it on. That's right,

(16:30):
bring it on. She's a woman of integrity. Ashley Keith,
thank you so much for being here today. That's Keyfrontrange
homes dot Com, proud sponsor of Ryan Shuling Live. Ashley
Key joining me live in studio. We'll get more of
your reaction to fill none the wiser's comments. Somebody claiming
that he came up with a n in name before
I did. Come on, no, that's mine. I own that.
Ryan schuldingli rip, Christine McVie. I was fortunate enough to

(16:56):
see Fleetwood Mac at Vanandel Arena on Repids, Michigan about
ten years ago now, and of course they were fantastic.
Lindsay Buckingham very underrated guitarists and songwriter and rumors. If
you haven't listened to the whole album, what are you doing?
You're doing it wrong, Zack. That means you I believe
you have, though you probably have. You're ahead of your time.
He says, yes on Vinyl even my man, the Man

(17:20):
from the Top rope, I love it. I was so thrilled.
One day Tony Gates, he was the program director at
WLAV and that's ninety seven FM and Grand Rapids, Michigan,
the classic rock station, legendary, and Tony comes in. He goes, Hey, Ryan,
I know what a big Fleetwood Mac fan you are.
You want to sit in on this Steven Nickson interview? Yes,

(17:41):
And I tried, you know, not to be like Chris
Farley when you interviewed. Paul McCartney goes, you're awesome, but
I kind of was. And then I was able to
formulate a question about, you know, where does her songwriting,
where's that inspiration come from? And of course, in a
very notorious way for Fleetwood Mac, it came from their breakups.

(18:04):
Lindsay and Stevie were lovers, and in fact, Lindsay would
join Fleetwood Mac, an all male rock band at the time,
on the condition that they also allow Stevie to join
the band, and the fact that Stevie and Christine were
part of Fleetwood Mac made Fleetwood Mac made them stand out,
made them jump off the page. To incredible vocalists, very
different but very talented, each in their own way. You

(18:27):
can go your own way. You knew where I was
going with that, and great songwriters. But she told me
that her greatest songwriting in her life came from her
greatest moments of pain. And she told me that. I
thought it was pretty profound. And then, of course all
these breakup songs, Landslide being one of them, You can
Go your Own Way being another one. Just looking at

(18:48):
each other singing angrily on stage. How many couples that
are fighting wish they could do that, sort your differences
out that way in song I am singing to you
in anger in songy here tax five seven seven three nine.
We will get to in just a moment. But folks,
We've got a couple of installments of Trump's hot takes,
and this is one of them. Was it would turn

(19:10):
out no matter how you fought up felt about the
process of the election and the fraud allegations, etcetera. Joe
Biden was not running this country and he was not
elected as president. He didn't serve it was a cabal
of shadowy figures behind the scenes. Susan Rice, maybe Barack
Obama imparting his wisdom, doctor Jill Biden, ron Klain, there's

(19:33):
a list of others, but it wasn't Joe. It just
wasn't Joe. Five seven, seven three nine is where you
can reach us via text. Eric Manning saying Jason Crow
on CNN made that same comment. You're talking about the
film None the Wiser comment, Eric, who are these maniacs?
Crow and Wiser? They're just they're not intellectual giants. I'm

(19:54):
I guess disappointed. Isn't the word surprise a more surprised
to degree that would come from Wiser, who's he's intellectually intelligent,
but he's really point he had it on this one. Crow,
I mean, throw him out. Crow is mediocre at best

(20:16):
intellect he was. He is probably where Joe Biden on
his best day was, and that wasn't very good. We're
talking like late eighties Biden. Maybe Ryan, don't move. I
understand Colorado sucks, but stay and fight the fight, Patty.
I'm doing just that. I'm doing my level best. I'm

(20:37):
doing the work. Ryan. What towns in Texas did you mention?
Just currious? Fifth generation? Never thought I would consider leaving
San Antonio, which I love San Antonio. I've been there. Riverwalk.
I was there for a final four. It was the
one with Sister Jean. She's still alive, by the way,
she's like one hundred and forty years old or something
right now, but she was like one hundred and three
at the time. No, yeah, right around there. And that

(20:59):
was when the Michigans were in it. John Beeline coached
against the Villanova Wildcats, who ended up winning the national title.
But I did the River Walk, the restaurants, the Alamo.
I pretended I was pee wee Herman. I'm looking for
the basement at the album. There's no basement at the Alamo. Payway.
If I move, I'll be contacting. Ashley says this TEXTA. Well,

(21:19):
that's good. She's awesome, and the website is Keyfront Range
Homes dot com. Let's support her even if you're not moving.
If you know somebody who is, I'm telling you right now,
refer them to Ashley. She will take care of them.
And folks, she shares their values. How many people in
the business climate, especially here in Colorado, can you say
that about not a whole lot, not enough, not in

(21:42):
my opinion, and one final thing is we go to
break here and Ashley might be listening. I promised I
would send a shout out to her daughter, Georgia. Georgia, Hello,
really glad to have you on board as a listener.
You have a great mom, and I've been told you
have a great dad too. Be good, and good things will.
We'll take this time out, we'll wrap it up another

(22:03):
installment now. This will truly be a hot take from Trump.
And that's in the pejorative sense of oh, that's a
hot take. This is a hot take. And you gotta
call spade a spade, you gotta call balls and strikes.
And this one's gonna make you laugh when we come
back on Ryan Schuling. Live rift widens between Elon Musk

(22:25):
anyone who's ever met him. He's an not duck. He
always has been. I kind of appreciate that about him.
Most geniuses are because none of us can think on
his level. He must be so frustrating to be Elon Musk.
Here's this guy with his dizzying intellect, this creative mind
that is akin to Doc Brown hitting his head on
the toilet and coming up with a flex capacitor, except

(22:47):
he didn't need to hit his hand on the toilet.
You know, he helps invent and establish PayPal, SpaceX and
Tesla in between. I love that he named his company
Tesla after the serbianientist genius that was Nicola Tesla. Real
quick story there, My dad took my mom's aunt Zora

(23:10):
to green Field Village. Now Here it's Greenwood Village. I
always get those confused. But back home it's green Field
Village and the Henry Ford Museum. And at Greenfield Village
they have Thomas Edison's workshop and I think one of
his homes. Now you might say, hell, he's in New Jersey. Well,
he did some of his research and work in Detroit,

(23:30):
and he was a contemporary of Henry Ford's and he
was a rival of Nicola Tesla's. And there was a
movie along these lines, General Electric Westinghouse Who would back
which Horse? There was also the theory about which form
of electricity delivering would be more efficient, effective, powerful, affordable,
et cetera. And Thomas Edison was all in on direct

(23:54):
current DC. Nikola Tesla had a next level concept of
alternating current, which was the superior technology. What ended up
happening was Westinghouse Blue. Through all of Tesla's money. He
would die penniless, and Thomas Edison would basically commandeer and
steal all of Tesla's patents when it comes to ac

(24:16):
he was jealous in that regard, and he should have been.
Edison was a brilliant man. Nikola Tesla was next level.
And if anyone asks you it's Nicola, it's not Nicola,
and that includes Jokich. Okay, take it from a serb.
Nicola will tell you himself, it's that way, Cola, Nicola Jokic, No,

(24:37):
it's not that anyway. So my aunt Zora is touring
this and you could imagine she's very proud. She's a
Serbian woman, she's visiting America, and she sees all this
stuff in tribute to Thomas Edison and she just scoffs
and goes, Nikola Tesla invented all of this and walked away,
And she's right. Five seven, seven, three nine. The number

(25:00):
to texts a lot of questions about Ashley Key's appearance
with me, and we appreciate her time. I know that
one of the questions was what were those cities in
Texas that people are flocking to? I mentioned San Antonio,
but Dallas, Fort Worth was another. I've been to Dallas
Fort Worth a couple times covering the Cotton Bowl. Michigan
State Spartans went there and one it was a great
game against Baylor, and then they lost in the College

(25:21):
Football Playoff. Only time they've been there, trounced by Alabama. Anyway,
it's a metroplex and Dallas Fort Worth it's very spread out.
It's not what you would expect, like let's go downtown
Dallas and do something. Not quite set up that way.
Fort Worth you can go on over there. There's a
lot to do, with a lot of great barbecue restaurants
Texas style around Dallas Fort Worth. I'm a big officionado

(25:44):
of those. But yeah, that was the other driving force
and moving people to Texas. Ryan, Where can I find
that movie? And move out list? It was released by
Pods in their twenty twenty five Moving Trends Report Pods
Pods twenty twenty five Moving Friends Report. If you google it,
I anticipate you will be able to find it. Colorado

(26:06):
Democrats would have granted Osama bin Laden asylum. Uh fact check,
Maybe can't rule that one out. The notion that Phil
Wiser is on the fence about whether or not the
family of the firebombing wacko who wanted to want a
death to all Zionists. I don't care about his family.
At that point, he didn't care about my family, Why

(26:27):
should I care about his family. I'm breaking this down
in brass tacks. I don't care four year old we
cry a single tear. Like I said, I would have
been four years old in Australia if my dad had
moved there and taken that job. If my dad was
an absolute lunatic and through firebombs at twelve Aborigines, I
would expect my little four year old behind would be

(26:50):
punted from Australia, past New Zealand into the Pacific Ocean
or anywhere else, and I would have no right or
claim to asylum. Or well, maybe they should still be here. No,
definitely they should not still be here. It's like Scott
Jennings said, Obviously anti Semitic, anti American rhetoric is prevalent

(27:12):
within that house. Now, whether they knew about their father
or husband's plot to do this is irrelevant. It was
a breeding ground for this type of hatred. Get them out,
don't want them here. I want people here. This is
going to shock you that love America, that love the
idea of America, the freedom and the opportunities it provides,

(27:33):
the liberties that you were afforded as an American citizen,
somebody who wants more than anything else on this planet,
not to be here, not with their hands out, not
collecting off the government dime like medicaid. No, to come here,
to create something, to contribute, something, to learn English, to
become an American citizen, to assimilate to our culture, to

(27:54):
pledge allegiance to our flag, to sing our national anthem,
Yankee Doodle Dandy. Yes, that is part of becoming an American.
It should be, and I'm sick of pretending otherwise. You
don't bring your crap, your baggage, your skeletons here. You
leave those behind. You can bring your culture and everything
about it that's great and contribute to the melting pot

(28:16):
that is the United States. I love it. I am
part of that. But my family, my mother's side, immigrants
embraced the dream of America, loved the United States, felt
indebted to the United States for their freedom, the liberation
that they felt from the communist dictator of Yugoslavia Tito

(28:36):
that only in America could their dreams come true, and
they wanted to do whatever it took to hold up
their end of the bargain. It's in a chord, it's
a deal. It's a contract. We don't owe you anything.
You come here, you work hard, you do it the
right way. You become an American citizen. God love you.
I want those types of immigrants in our country, lots

(28:58):
of them. I want to lift the spirit of this
nation from people who truly appreciate it. Like Representative Carlos Barone.
He was born in Mexico. His family came here. His
dad made a living in Colorado oil and gas industry,
did it all on his own. That is to be admired,
That is to be respected, That is to be encouraged.

(29:20):
Not people looking for simply one direction. What do I get?
What am I entitled to? You're entitled to blank, said
Tony Soprano. That's what you're entitled to. You come here
to our country. You're a guest. It is a privilege
to be here, not a right. You don't have a
right to be here. Nobody has a right to be here.
That's a foreign national. I'm sorry. You're a citizen of

(29:41):
the world. We're citizens of the United States. We're a
sovereign nation with borders. We have laws that are to
be respected, and if you don't respect those, kindly leaf,
kindly leaf, and tomorrow your text tomorrow on a Friday edition.
We are suspending this week's version of the Right Side

(30:03):
of Hollywood because both Christian Tota, who will be in Pittsburgh,
and Deborah Flora, who I believe is in DC, will
not be present to attend. But Russ Waldman will join
me his thoughts on the terror attacks in Boulder from
a Jewish perspective right here on Ryan Juling Live
