Bill Maher has made a lot of progress in his 'black-pill' journey recognizing the shortcomings of the Left, but he slides back in a conversation with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe on which side of the political spectrum most of the violence and chaos is originating.
Jerry Schemmel, play-by-play voice of the Rockies on KOA alongside Jack Corrigan, joins Ryan with a quarter-pole season update on the struggling Rockies (7-33) after the team recently moved on from manager Bud Black and bench coach Mike Redmond. Third base coach Warren Schaeffer has been named interim manager, with former Rockies manager Clint Hurdle adding the title of bench coach to his previous roles as special assistant to the general manager and hitting coach.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Seriously, this is a serious problem for Democrats. Less than
one in four Democrats under thirty say they're proud to
be an American. Fifty four percent say they're embarrassed by it.
Embarrassed like America as your mom picking you up at school.
We're embarrassed to be an American. Well, guess what the
feeling's mutual because you have no perspective. Is America perfect? No,
(00:25):
of course not, no country is. Although don't get Tucker
Carlson started on Russia, globalize the Intifada is the catchphrase
that's really catching on these days, as if worldwide suicide
bombing and costplaying Islamic revolutionaries is the answer to our problems.
At an AOC Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month,
(00:45):
someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag and
the crowd erupted in approval. What should have happened after
that is one of the adults on stage should have
told their young loyal followers, this is not a symbol
of freedom.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
This is Bill Maher.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Bill Maher in his own program, pointing to the American flag.
What needs to happen? Kind of tying into the baseball
theme because Jerry Shemml's gonna be joining us in a
little over five minutes voice of the Colorado Rockies along
with Jack Corgan. They're on the road in Texas tonight.
Catch that action over on KOA. Jesse Thomas running the
show there and Bud Black being let go as manager
(01:27):
of the Rockies.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Get all the latest details on that.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
But in baseball, there was an example what Bill maher
is talking about, and I think Shannon wouldcall this episode.
Rick Monday, outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. There are
a couple hippies trying to burn an American flag in
the outfield using lighter fluid. But they were stupid and
obviously not boy Scouts because they didn't know how to
light a fire. They didn't start the fire, but they
(01:51):
were trying to light it and they weren't trying to
fight it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, I'm going down the Billy Joel Road.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Rick Monday saw what they were trying to do, and
he ran and scooped up the flag in an iconic
image that lives on to this day. Showed how much
of a patriot he was in loving this country. Now,
a lot of people think you're being jingoistic or corny.
If you say love it or leave it. Guess what, folks,
Bill Maher's saying it now to his own side, because
(02:17):
they're insane.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
America is not perfect. He's right. Nobody ever claimed that
it was.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
What I always tell people is the idea of America
and the pursuit of its excellence is perfect, and it
is the most perfect nation on this planet.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's not close.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Bill Maher continues with why the Democrats are losing and
why they're losing in gen Z, which we spoke about
in our number one, a couple of great young minds
from Colorado First Action, David Proctor and James Raemond. Bill
Maher continues, the thought leader is.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And the Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking the
idea that America is cringe and the people who run
Gaza are great. The Democrats are doomed. Alyssa Slopkin's right.
Liberals are weak and woke, especially the white ones, and
they indulge all sorts of nonsense from their kids, a
pattern that then continues on in the Democratic Party. Last election,
(03:22):
it was all the gender stuff, the insistence that men
can have babies and such, and now I fear that
we like the terrorists is the new that liberals need
to push back on the dumb ideas that come from
their children. The democrats problem is the energy the parties
with the young and the younger with the terrorists.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So talk to your children and remind them you don't
really want to live like your heroes in Hamash you
do all day it was all.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Made in America.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Your smartphone, your grub hub, your freedom to bitch about America,
that's all American stuff. If you tell your phone you
want a milkshake and a guy brings it to your house, please,
you couldn't survive a week living an into fat Aville.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Strong times create weak men and women too in this instance,
and I think that's where we're at on that cycle.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Look at that graph. Bill mar nails that.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I just hope the Left doesn't listen to him, and
I hope they don't listen to David Hogg, of all
people who had it. He's got to figure it out.
He's got the solution to the Da Vinci code in
all of this. But the Democrats cannot help themselves. They
are hell bent and diving headfirst into the deep end
of the woke pool, and it's getting them nowhere. It's
losing them traction, it's losing them votes, it's losing them power.
(04:40):
And I don't think they can convert enough illegal aliens
into voters quickly enough, in large enough numbers in order
to account for the bleeding that's taking place from their
other flank. They have abandoned any pretense of moderation. Look
at what they just tried to pull in the Colorado
General Assembly. That's not moderate s center left, common sense,
(05:02):
that's nothing like that. And in the process of this pursuit,
the Democrats are winnowing down their basive support into a
number that will be untenable for a winning margin going forward.
We can only hope that they continue down that same
path five seven, seven, three nine. If you want to
text in again, Jerry Shemil joining us in mere moments, Ryan, So,
(05:25):
what are the Democrats going to insist that we give
that back the statue of liberty?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah? I think they have.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Actually, I believe that they don't feel what we deserve.
It this what's funny. This from our previous segment, the
aforementioned David and James apparently picking up some fans. Okay,
I guess I need to officially become a cougar since
all the manly men will be in gen z laughing
face emoji that that might be a little closer to
the target than you know. Five, seven, seventh, three nine
(05:54):
the number to send your texts along too. And as
you know if you follow baseball, all about the Rockies
over the weekend making some big changes about the quarter
pole of the season.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Almost exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
It was Sparky Anderson, manager of my beloved Detroit Tigers, said,
you don't know what you got until your forty games
in then you know. Well, apparently the Rockies new and
after forty games they were seven and thirty three. Out
goes Bud Black as manager. He was just signed to
an extension, as well as bench coach Mike Redman, Warren Schaeffer,
the third base coach now the interim manager, and a
(06:27):
familiar name wearing a lot of hats.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
We'll see how many he's going to keep on with.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Our next guest, Clint Hurdle, remember him manager of the
two thousand and seven National League champion Rockies who went
to the World Series against the Red Sox. Well, he
started the season a special assistant to the general manager.
Then he replaced Hensley Mullins as hitting coach. Now he's
adding the title of bench coach. Jerry Shemil, played by
play Voice of the Rockies along with Jack Corrigan, joins
(06:52):
us before they're broadcast tonight on KOA in Arlington as
the Rockies get set to take on the Texas Rangers,
who just took to a three from My Tigers. Jerry, welcome,
Thank you, appreciate you having me on. And Jesse's there too,
Jesse Thomas, who is the executive producer.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Is he in the background there.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Jerry, he is, He's right behind me. You're standing right there,
the biggest life, all right, and so are you.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Jerry. I appreciate your time. We know you're busy.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
There's never really a day off, especially with something that
happens like it did over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Can you take us through.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Let's start with Clint Hurdle and how many of these
roles is he going to maintain going forward?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I think you'll just stay the two that he has
right now.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
He remained the hitting coach and had a little chat
with him just real shortly earlier today and he.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Said, I have no problem being the hitting coach.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
And then I'll just kind of slide over a couple
of notches in that dugout and help Warren Shaffer through
the game.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
So he'll stay as the hitting.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Coach, and he's enjoying that, and I think he's up
for the challenge of helping a young manager in the
interim as well with Warren Schaffer.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
And let's talk about Warren Schaffer a little bit, Jerry,
because that might be a name that Rockies fans in
this audience might not be as familiar with Clint Hurtle.
Pretty much everybody knows, but what can you tell us
about Warren sa the third base coach now turned interim manager.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah, he's a Rocky selection. He came out of Virginia
Tech several years ago. He's forty years old now, so
that's been a while. He spent six years the Miners
and really didn't do a whole lot but love the
game and loved the organization. When he was done playing
as a player, after six years of Miners, he wanted
a coach, and the Rockies hired him. And they've been
a coach and a hitting coach, an infield coach, and
(08:23):
a manager at almost every level of the Miners and
the last couple of years. This is third year is
the third base coach of the Rockies, but the last
couple of years. He's a triple A manager at Albuquerque
and had a lot of success.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
But just a guy.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
That's extremely personals a. He has a personality a lot
like Bud Black. I think just a great communicator, a
great guy, great baseball guy, and I think a guy
that's up for the challenge of taking over for a
Bud Black.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Noow, Jerry Shemil joining us. He'll be in the booth
tonight along with Jack Corgan, the two voices of the
Colorado Rockies on KOA starting up a series against the
Texas Rangers, Jerry seven and thirty three.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
There's no delicate way to put it.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I mean that is historically bad in terms of a
record through the quarter pole, rivaling that of the nineteen
eighty eight Orioles who started the season zero to twenty one.
I just want to get your perspective as a broadcaster.
You're with this team day in and day out. I've
been in those trenches in the minor leagues as you have.
We both work for the buildings Mustangs, but just the
vibe of the team, how difficult that was, and as
(09:24):
announcer trying to tell that story to the fans, you
can't really ignore it, but you don't want to dwell
on it either.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, that's right, there's a balance you can find. I
think what Jack and I try to do is concentrate
on what our job is, and that is called to
play by play. To explain on the radio what's happening
on the field, and not be a judge of it,
not be a columnist or a sports talk show host,
but just tell people what's going on. And when you
say there're seven and thirty three, people know they're not
(09:50):
very good. You don't have to dwell on a whole lot.
Just you give the record. Or you know, you get
beat twenty one to nothing in a game, you know
that's a rough outing and it's a very difficult thing
for everybody connected, which was what happened on Saturday. So
I think you just keep that perspective of hey, you're
the play by play guy. You're not necessarily somebody needs
to take shots at a team, and you don't have
(10:12):
to overpraise them when they're doing great either. It just
called the play by play. And I think we've done.
I think a decent job of doing that through this
rugged early season and.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Jerry over this past week in particular, when the Detroit
Tigers came to town. We saw the margins of victory
for Detroit and then the margins of victory for San Diego,
including infamously that twenty one nothing game. Do you think
the fate what might have been any different for Bud
Black had it been like four to three losses. They're
playing hard, they're closed, but they're just missing it. But
that was these large blowout losses. That was really the
(10:43):
final straw.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I do.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I think that the game on Saturday had a lot
to do with it.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
When you get me twenty one to nothing, you know,
everybody connected with the organization is embarrassed by something like that,
and there's a lot of reaction to it. And the
reaction this time is going to be, all right, we're
gonna have to make a move. Made a move to
put hitting coach in place already, which I think was a,
you know, a good move for the Rockies. I think
they needed a new voice with Clint Hurdle, and I
think we've seen some of the good results of that move.
(11:10):
But yeah, I figured it would happen at some point.
Budds was extended, but only, like you said, for one year,
and so I thought it might happen the end of season.
There would be a change. I didn't think it would
be during the season. But when you get beat twenty
one to nothing and you'd become in the process six
and thirty three, something's probably going to have to change.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Jerry Shemil, play by play voice of the Rockies, joining
US broadcast tonight over on KOA as they start a
series in Arlington against the suddenly hot Texas Rangers. So, Jerry,
you look at where the Rockies are and they didn't
get here overnight. And it's not just one thing that's
going wrong or that they're doing wrong.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But where does it start?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I think Clint Hurdle brings this kind of balanced perspective
to it. He's had some good times here in Colorado.
But it's not about necessarily putting a winning streak together.
You're seven thirty three. It's about winning a game, or
it's about winning it about winning just one play. Where
does it start in your mind that you might be
able to see some positive, tangible results that turn this
thing around at least heading in the right direction.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I think there's two things Ryan that way. One there
has to be more consistently with his starting pitching. I
really thought coming to the season, the starting pitcher might
be a strong point for the team, and maybe the
weaker aspect of that would be the bullpen, and that's
been switched around a little bit. Bullpen hasn't been great lately,
but as a group, they've done a pretty good job
out there with some young and exciting arms. By the way,
(12:31):
I think it starts. It always starts to me with
starting pitching. You're a baseball guy, you know that it
starts with your starting pitching. And when it's inconsistent, when
it's up and down, when you've had the years that
Kyle Frielan has been bouncing around, inconsistent. Aermon Marquez looked
great yesterday, but he's been inconsistent. You got some injuries
with the rotation, Ryan Feltner and Austin Gombre bole still out.
(12:52):
I think it starts there. You have to have some consistence.
You got to get some traction. I think, first of all,
with that rotation, the other thing that needs cleaned up
as a defense. I mean, coming in this season, I
thought that was a strong point for the team. I mean,
there's gold glovers all over the place and they haven't
performed like that other than Ryan McMahon. So I think
those two things, maybe a third thing would get would
(13:14):
be to get your middle infield in position, get isekiol
Tobar back, which I think is going to happen probably
the next two or three days at shortstop. Great player there,
great young player. And then Tyrostrada, who got hurt and
in spring is supposed to be your second baseman. He's
working his way back. I think once you solidify up
the middle, and you've got Brenton Doyle in center already,
I think you'll see bast improvement defensively.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Jerry, broadcast time five thirty tonight or what time, yes,
sir for a six to ozho five first pitch. On
the other side, Tyler Molly going the right hander for
the Rangers. And here's an exciting young arm that's drawn
some retention with not only within the organization but throughout
Major League Baseball, and that's Chase Dolander. Here's the thing, Jerry,
that makes it so difficult in Colorado when you play
(13:57):
half your games at Corpsfield, very difficult to draw. And
let's say a free agent pitcher a big ticket item
and sign him to a big contract to pitch half
his games. There but the chance to scout draft and
develop a guy like Chase. You see that guy and
what he's capable of. Are there more of those types
of arms, in your opinion in the Rockies organization that
might be coming to help.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Yes, there are, I can definitely say yes to that
at that question is my answer, and we saw some
of those in spring training. Gabriel who Hughes as a
former number one pick. He's at Double A Hartford. He
was the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week last week,
got a great arm. There's some other lefties that are
in Double A and even highst high A that are
(14:38):
going to develop into major league players. And we had
a glimpse of some of those guys in spring training.
So yes, that Ryan, there's reinforcements on the way both
I think in a rotation as starters in a bullpen
as well. There's some already some very exciting young arms
in that bullpen. I mean Zach Agnos. Zach Dagnos has
had one of the best minor league careers.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Of any Rocky in franchise history.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
If you look back at his numbers, he was dominant
through that and yet he's the twenty six prospect in
the Rockies organization because he doesn't throw real hard as
Seth Halverson is averaging with his fastball one hundred miles
an hour, exciting young arms there, and I think we'll
see some more of those as probably this season progresses,
and certainly in the next couple of seasons.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
And Chase Dolander going tonight on the Mountain, the right
hander just twenty three years of age, but has showed
great promise, is rocketed through the Rockies minor league system
and finds himself in the major league rotation for a
team that has nowhere to go but up. You can
listen to Night starting at five point thirty pm over
on KOA along with Jack Corrigan, our guest Jerry Shemel,
the voices of the Colorado Rockies. Thank you so much,
(15:38):
Jerry for your time today, and let's hope it gets
better going up from here.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You bet my pleasures.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Thanks for having me, Jerry Shemel, and we want to
thank Jesse Thomas for helping set that up as well.
Five seven seven three nine the number to text us at.
I was at all three games of the Detroit Tigers series,
and I got to tell you, the Rockies played very well.
In that first game, it went to extra innings, very exciting.
Rockies grabbed the lead, a big lead early. Tigers are
a good team. They fought back and they just found
(16:04):
a way to win. And that's where the Rockies, I think,
when you lose, there's this mentality of here we go again,
especially when you lose to the degree that they have.
At seven and thirty three, and my brother and I
were joking about the scene from The Natural. They bring
in the psychologists. He goes, losing is a disease like
bulbonic plague. And then Robert Redford as Roy Hobb steps up.
I'm not gonna do it, Pop, I'm here to play baseball.
(16:27):
So they get things turned around from there. The New
York Knights, did, I mean things were going pretty bad.
I know it's fiction, okay, But the Colorado Rockies, you know,
they're an institution in this state and they're in a
very difficult division in the NL West. Here's hopeus some
young players get a look and like Chase doll Ender
to night maybe you can start a winning streak and
we get that road to recovery started. Take this time out,
(16:48):
come back with much more after this. Ryan Schuling Live continues.

once again for another edition of Trump's Hot Takes, charting
(18:57):
the forty seventh president's ethic interactions with the fake news media.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I mean, I'll tell you a story. Friend of mine
who's a business man, very very very top guy. Most
of you would have heard of him.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
A highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight, and he takes
the fat.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The fat shot drug. And he called me up and
he said President. He calls me. He used to call
me Donald. Now he calls me president. So that's nice. Respect.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
It's a rough guy, smart guy, very successful, very rich.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I wouldn't even know how we would know.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
This, but because he's got comments the president.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Could I ask you a question. What I'm in London
and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I said, it's not working, he said, He said, I
just paid eighty eight dollars and in New York I'd
paid thirteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (19:59):
This this fat drug shot and he's telling me he's
taking this is not working. He checks that, like to
make sure that the guy he's talking about knows that
the President feels that the fat SHOT's not working.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
This fat shot drug might.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Be ozempic, but I don't want to give them free advertising.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Wouldn't be fair. Oh wow, Donald Trump. Another hot take
edition of that five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
The text to send in now.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Often on this program you will hear me sing the
praises of one Bill Maher.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I've been a fan of his going way back.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I kind of distanced myself when he was really deeply immersed,
I mean, neck deep in Trump derangement syndrome. But he
seems to have woken up from that a bit. He's awake,
not woke. He's definitely not woke. I want to give
him credit for that. And he goes down the right
path here talking about comp Aaron Trump to Hitler. It's
(21:01):
so lazy, it's trite, it's overdone, it's cliche, it's lost
its meaning. It's white noise, and it's a surefire away
to figure out who has the stuff to argue with
you and who really doesn't.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Narrie David tanaima Nazi, he did well, he said, I
had dinner with Hitler.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean how and by the way,
and I think literally when we say we do it
to themselves, how dare anyone call Trump Hitler? That is
a that is is such an insult to the Jewish people.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's exactly what I said when I did an interview
about it, that it's like, among other things, first of all,
when you as soon as you play the Hitler card,
you've kind of lost the argument unless.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
You're really dealing with Hitler, which yes we're not.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
But agreed, like it is quite insulting to the ones
at Hitler, I mean Hitler. I keep calling him the
goat of evil. He's the goat.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, you know, you can't.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Don't try to, you know, don't answer that conversation like
who was better than Michael Jordan's Okay, it's Hitler, all right,
Hitler's Michael Jordan of evil.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, all right, Lebron's great. It's different.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, six rings, yeah, six million people dead, and you
know it's just like stop it, yeap.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
How do you think Michael Jordan feels about that comparison.
I'm know Michael Jordan fan, as a lifelong Bad Boys
Pistons fan, I don't have a lot of love lost
for Michael Jordan and the Bulls and Phil Jackson and
Scottie Pippen and blah. However, to equate Jordan's six NBA
Championship rings to Hitler killing six million Jews, I'm pretty
(22:53):
sure Michael Jordan doesn't want any part of that comparison.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
But that's what happens when you do this After Dark special.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
That Bill Maher does when he's totally stoned out of
his mind. He's smoking pot during this thing. Tony Hinchcliff
part of the Kill Tony tour. He was with Joe
Rogan when Rogan came here. You guys might remember that
Belco Theater, Tony drew a lot of controversy speaking at
a Republican event for Donald Trump not long before the election.
Remember that told an off colored joke, But that made
(23:25):
me like him even more. This is what's happening, people,
This is what the theme of today's show is. If
there is one you start calling everything that's that's not
woke misogynist and evil and hilarian and Nazi and patriarchy
and white supremacist, then a bunch of us, and I'm
(23:47):
talking a big number of us who were not always
hard right, I include myself in this portion of the conversation.
You have pushed us there hard left. Congratulations. You have
made it absolutely lock down that many people like me,
who might have been considered at one point a persuadable voter,
(24:10):
will never vote Democrat again.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Not the way the current Democratic Party is.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Constituted, Not with what we got into to start this hour,
where Bill Maher was calling out the woke tendencies, the
weak tendencies.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Of the left.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
No self respecting American man who wants to be respected,
who values that respect, who wants to show respect for others,
but isn't going to be beholden or bend the knee
to them. None of those types of voters are ever
gonna vote Democrat. Yeah, you're gonna get a Tim Walls,
You're gonna get a David Hogg. You might even get
a Bill Maher, but maybe not for much longer. But
(24:47):
you're missing the middle entirely. You're not even talking about
issues that matter to somebody who's in the political middle.
It's as if those people don't exist or you don't
think you need them to win. Trying to figure out
the calculus here by the left going hard left, saying
not only are we going to trans the kids, but
if you disagree as a parent, we're gonna take your
(25:09):
kid away from you. That's what just happened here in Colorado,
that bill awaiting Jared Poulis's signature. Goodness, gracious, I mean,
any pretense of being proud of being an American, valuing
the institutions of American family. You know, living together under
(25:31):
the same roof going on family vacations.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
This is anathema to the left.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
They view that as being part of the patriarchy and
part of white supremacy upon which this nation was founded.
According to them, are white imperialist father forefathers.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
This is insane. We know that.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
And Bill Maher I thought he was there. I thought
he was getting it. And then he says something stupid
like this, and Tony Hinchcliffe even pushes back, and he
does so very astutely.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's just the leftist kind of thinking and that kind
of stuff, because they are as crazy in their own way,
they're just not as dangerous, right, you mean the left
is the left is not as dangerous because they still.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Would say that they are. That's an interesting because it
seems like the right wingers are the ones with the
guns and this and that, and we'll.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Take it feels that way.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
But I mean, all of a sudden, alast couple a
few years, I'm looking at who the mass shooters are
and this and that, and it is great.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I'm talking about our way of life, which is which
is governed by the type of government we have, and
what they are still constitutionalists and institutionalists. Now, have they
nibbled at the edges?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Have they invited? As always what we were saying with
the other thing, there's always an invited backlash when you
go too far. So you know, did Joe Biden do
things that were Imperial presidency things?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yes? Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
He would go on to mention that President Biden to
circumvent a Supreme Court ruling that no, you cannot forgive,
wipe away, make other American taxpayers pay for defaulted upon
student loans.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And he said it in his speech, Biden did I
don't care what this show. I'm gonna do it anyway, paraphrasing,
but not by much.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
And you out there in the listening audiences of Colorad
and had to choke on your coffee if you're still
drinking at this time of day, or maybe you started
into something else.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
And God love you if you have about the fact.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
That they're the constitutionalists, the democrats, the left, they're the
ones who respect our institutions. Are you insane the aforementioned
thirteen twelve bill Here in Colorado, we want to cut
your kid's body parts off, and if you disagree, shut up,
or we'll take you to court and take your kids
(27:52):
away from you.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That's happening here.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Just passed a bill with the governor's signature in a
back room because he didn't want to publicize too much,
taking our right.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
To bear arms away.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Semi automatic weapons, which are virtually every firearm where you
can depress the trigger one time and get one bullet.
That's what semi automatic means. This will not stand up
to the scrutiny of the Second Amendment in our constitutional
rights through the course, but that could take years, and
until then, our rights here are being infringed. Bill Maher
(28:30):
in Colorado, Jared Paulo's is no libertarian. This is laughable.
How about burning the charging stations, burning Tesla's, kying Tesla's,
threatening Tesla drivers, threatening to assassinate Elon Musk, justifying the
assassination of the United Healthcare CEO by Luigi Mangioni, cheering
(28:56):
him as a sex symbol like Taylor Lorenz is miss
me with this commentary, Bill Maher, your side is insane.
You're pointing it out and then you stop there. How
about Chaz and Chop. How about the George Floyd riots,
fiery but mostly peaceful. How about using violence as a
(29:16):
means to an end and having it be justified because
the unjustifies the means, because there's a bigger purpose and
goal that supersedes any constitutional rights institutions confines parameters guard rails.
The left is off the rails, not the right mass shooters.
(29:36):
Look at what happened in Tennessee. Details of that mass
shooting were kept under wraps because the person involved identified
as trans and wanted to take out Christian kids.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
The violence is coming from the left.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Don't get me this crap about the proud Boys or
the oathkeepers of the three percenters or whatever else. They
are fringe elements that don't see the light of day
unless the left mentions them.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
They're not part of my everyday existence.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I do a talk radio show for Republicans on the right,
for conservatives, for libertarians, for populace. Never do I ever
cross paths with oathkeepers, proud Boys, three percenters.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
They're nowhere.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
The hard left, on the other hand, runs the Democratic Party.
The so called moderates like those here in Colorado, run
from the far left, lunatic fringe elements of their own party,
scared to death that they'll be unseated, that they might
suffer a fate like we'll see maybe with Chuck Schumer
and EOC. There's a reckoning coming from the hard left
(30:47):
and the moderate Democrats are terrified of their own people.
So this is a falls flat obviously, as an analysis
from Bill Maher, He's otherwise been very good. This is
horse bleep. It's total garbage and we all know it
here in Colorado. Final time out wrapping things up. Your
text five seven seven three nine, This Monday edition of
(31:08):
Ryan Shuling Live after this. Hopefully you're not driving one
headlight out there and you get pulled over.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Maybe you won't. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
Well, Shannon's got a Ryan Shuling the Detroit connection plus one.
Kelly's back from her walk get her daily report on
that in just a moment. Your text at five seven
seven three nine. Steven Littlson retired a law enforcement officer.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Thank you for your service. Steve, as always, is.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Not a large part of the Colorado legislature guilty of
aiding and abetting child abuse.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yes, I think on multiple fronts.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Now, the fact that they're pushing through that's trans the
Kids Bill without parental consent and a stifling that consent
by saying you don't go along if you don't sign
on to your child's gender dysphoria pronouns identifying as the
opposite gender, getting hormone surgeries, and take your kids away
(32:02):
from you and take you to court, and it'll be
used against you in a court of law.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
At least in our miranda rights. We have those read
to us.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
These are hidden in the bill, the details, the devils
in the details literally in this case, and then nuking
a bill brought to the table by Representative Brandy Bradley,
who will join Dan Kaplis in just a little bit
that would make sure there would be hard time served
for child sex predators who rape kids, certainty in sentencing,
(32:37):
not just probation. No, no, no, No. Democrats booted that one.
Why what is the argument against that? I would like
to know five seven seven three nine Kelly conclusion from
your walk You love squirrels, but.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
You hate birds?
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Yeah, okay, explain it's on like donkey kong.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Okay? Are they magpies?
Speaker 8 (33:02):
I basically caught more than a few birds taking the
squirrel nuts that I put out to give the squirrels.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
What kind of peanuts? No, they're corn nuts? What kind
of nuts?
Speaker 8 (33:20):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
What kind of birds? What kind of birds are we
talking about?
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Well, they're like almonds and and uh oh geez, you're
getting classic nuts and and uh pecans and all this
different stuff. But no, no, I literally went out the
back door and I saw a damn bird.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
What kind of bird? Kind of bird? It's gray?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Okay, so not the magpies, the beautiful.
Speaker 8 (33:49):
And white, the black and white.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
No, I don't know what fun fact about magpies. They're
one of the only species of animals.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
That can see their own reflection.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
To recognize themselves in a mirror.
Speaker 8 (33:58):
Yes, no, this didn't happen. Now it's online docing. I
am so done with.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
You right now, War on Birds has begun.

If you want to join in the fight Texas at

for bringing it all together and helping me land this plane.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Stay tuned. The Dan Kaplis Show is next.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
I'll talk to you again tomorrow Tuesday edition the Ryan
Sholing Live right here
Seriously, this is a serious problem for Democrats. Less than
one in four Democrats under thirty say they're proud to
be an American. Fifty four percent say they're embarrassed by it.
Embarrassed like America as your mom picking you up at school.
We're embarrassed to be an American. Well, guess what the
feeling's mutual because you have no perspective. Is America perfect? No,
(00:25):
of course not, no country is. Although don't get Tucker
Carlson started on Russia, globalize the Intifada is the catchphrase
that's really catching on these days, as if worldwide suicide
bombing and costplaying Islamic revolutionaries is the answer to our problems.
At an AOC Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month,
(00:45):
someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag and
the crowd erupted in approval. What should have happened after
that is one of the adults on stage should have
told their young loyal followers, this is not a symbol
of freedom.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
This is Bill Maher.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Bill Maher in his own program, pointing to the American flag.
What needs to happen? Kind of tying into the baseball
theme because Jerry Shemml's gonna be joining us in a
little over five minutes voice of the Colorado Rockies along
with Jack Corgan. They're on the road in Texas tonight.
Catch that action over on KOA. Jesse Thomas running the
show there and Bud Black being let go as manager
(01:27):
of the Rockies.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Get all the latest details on that.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
But in baseball, there was an example what Bill maher
is talking about, and I think Shannon wouldcall this episode.
Rick Monday, outfielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers. There are
a couple hippies trying to burn an American flag in
the outfield using lighter fluid. But they were stupid and
obviously not boy Scouts because they didn't know how to
light a fire. They didn't start the fire, but they
(01:51):
were trying to light it and they weren't trying to
fight it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Yeah, I'm going down the Billy Joel Road.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Rick Monday saw what they were trying to do, and
he ran and scooped up the flag in an iconic
image that lives on to this day. Showed how much
of a patriot he was in loving this country. Now,
a lot of people think you're being jingoistic or corny.
If you say love it or leave it. Guess what, folks,
Bill Maher's saying it now to his own side, because
(02:17):
they're insane.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
America is not perfect. He's right. Nobody ever claimed that
it was.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
What I always tell people is the idea of America
and the pursuit of its excellence is perfect, and it
is the most perfect nation on this planet.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
It's not close.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Bill Maher continues with why the Democrats are losing and
why they're losing in gen Z, which we spoke about
in our number one, a couple of great young minds
from Colorado First Action, David Proctor and James Raemond. Bill
Maher continues, the thought leader is.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
And the Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking the
idea that America is cringe and the people who run
Gaza are great. The Democrats are doomed. Alyssa Slopkin's right.
Liberals are weak and woke, especially the white ones, and
they indulge all sorts of nonsense from their kids, a
pattern that then continues on in the Democratic Party. Last election,
(03:22):
it was all the gender stuff, the insistence that men
can have babies and such, and now I fear that
we like the terrorists is the new that liberals need
to push back on the dumb ideas that come from
their children. The democrats problem is the energy the parties
with the young and the younger with the terrorists.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's not good.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So talk to your children and remind them you don't
really want to live like your heroes in Hamash you
do all day it was all.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Made in America.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Your smartphone, your grub hub, your freedom to bitch about America,
that's all American stuff. If you tell your phone you
want a milkshake and a guy brings it to your house, please,
you couldn't survive a week living an into fat Aville.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Strong times create weak men and women too in this instance,
and I think that's where we're at on that cycle.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Look at that graph. Bill mar nails that.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I just hope the Left doesn't listen to him, and
I hope they don't listen to David Hogg, of all
people who had it. He's got to figure it out.
He's got the solution to the Da Vinci code in
all of this. But the Democrats cannot help themselves. They
are hell bent and diving headfirst into the deep end
of the woke pool, and it's getting them nowhere. It's
losing them traction, it's losing them votes, it's losing them power.
(04:40):
And I don't think they can convert enough illegal aliens
into voters quickly enough, in large enough numbers in order
to account for the bleeding that's taking place from their
other flank. They have abandoned any pretense of moderation. Look
at what they just tried to pull in the Colorado
General Assembly. That's not moderate s center left, common sense,
(05:02):
that's nothing like that. And in the process of this pursuit,
the Democrats are winnowing down their basive support into a
number that will be untenable for a winning margin going forward.
We can only hope that they continue down that same
path five seven, seven, three nine. If you want to
text in again, Jerry Shemil joining us in mere moments, Ryan, So,
(05:25):
what are the Democrats going to insist that we give
that back the statue of liberty?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah? I think they have.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Actually, I believe that they don't feel what we deserve.
It this what's funny. This from our previous segment, the
aforementioned David and James apparently picking up some fans. Okay,
I guess I need to officially become a cougar since
all the manly men will be in gen z laughing
face emoji that that might be a little closer to
the target than you know. Five, seven, seventh, three nine
(05:54):
the number to send your texts along too. And as
you know if you follow baseball, all about the Rockies
over the weekend making some big changes about the quarter
pole of the season.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Almost exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
It was Sparky Anderson, manager of my beloved Detroit Tigers, said,
you don't know what you got until your forty games
in then you know. Well, apparently the Rockies new and
after forty games they were seven and thirty three. Out
goes Bud Black as manager. He was just signed to
an extension, as well as bench coach Mike Redman, Warren Schaeffer,
the third base coach now the interim manager, and a
(06:27):
familiar name wearing a lot of hats.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
We'll see how many he's going to keep on with.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Our next guest, Clint Hurdle, remember him manager of the
two thousand and seven National League champion Rockies who went
to the World Series against the Red Sox. Well, he
started the season a special assistant to the general manager.
Then he replaced Hensley Mullins as hitting coach. Now he's
adding the title of bench coach. Jerry Shemil, played by
play Voice of the Rockies along with Jack Corrigan, joins
(06:52):
us before they're broadcast tonight on KOA in Arlington as
the Rockies get set to take on the Texas Rangers,
who just took to a three from My Tigers. Jerry, welcome,
Thank you, appreciate you having me on. And Jesse's there too,
Jesse Thomas, who is the executive producer.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Is he in the background there.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
Jerry, he is, He's right behind me. You're standing right there,
the biggest life, all right, and so are you.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Jerry. I appreciate your time. We know you're busy.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
There's never really a day off, especially with something that
happens like it did over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Can you take us through.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Let's start with Clint Hurdle and how many of these
roles is he going to maintain going forward?
Speaker 4 (07:25):
I think you'll just stay the two that he has
right now.
Speaker 5 (07:27):
He remained the hitting coach and had a little chat
with him just real shortly earlier today and he.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Said, I have no problem being the hitting coach.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
And then I'll just kind of slide over a couple
of notches in that dugout and help Warren Shaffer through
the game.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
So he'll stay as the hitting.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Coach, and he's enjoying that, and I think he's up
for the challenge of helping a young manager in the
interim as well with Warren Schaffer.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
And let's talk about Warren Schaffer a little bit, Jerry,
because that might be a name that Rockies fans in
this audience might not be as familiar with Clint Hurtle.
Pretty much everybody knows, but what can you tell us
about Warren sa the third base coach now turned interim manager.
Speaker 5 (08:02):
Yeah, he's a Rocky selection. He came out of Virginia
Tech several years ago. He's forty years old now, so
that's been a while. He spent six years the Miners
and really didn't do a whole lot but love the
game and loved the organization. When he was done playing
as a player, after six years of Miners, he wanted
a coach, and the Rockies hired him. And they've been
a coach and a hitting coach, an infield coach, and
(08:23):
a manager at almost every level of the Miners and
the last couple of years. This is third year is
the third base coach of the Rockies, but the last
couple of years. He's a triple A manager at Albuquerque
and had a lot of success.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
But just a guy.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
That's extremely personals a. He has a personality a lot
like Bud Black. I think just a great communicator, a
great guy, great baseball guy, and I think a guy
that's up for the challenge of taking over for a
Bud Black.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Noow, Jerry Shemil joining us. He'll be in the booth
tonight along with Jack Corgan, the two voices of the
Colorado Rockies on KOA starting up a series against the
Texas Rangers, Jerry seven and thirty three.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
There's no delicate way to put it.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
I mean that is historically bad in terms of a
record through the quarter pole, rivaling that of the nineteen
eighty eight Orioles who started the season zero to twenty one.
I just want to get your perspective as a broadcaster.
You're with this team day in and day out. I've
been in those trenches in the minor leagues as you have.
We both work for the buildings Mustangs, but just the
vibe of the team, how difficult that was, and as
(09:24):
announcer trying to tell that story to the fans, you
can't really ignore it, but you don't want to dwell
on it either.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
Yeah, that's right, there's a balance you can find. I
think what Jack and I try to do is concentrate
on what our job is, and that is called to
play by play. To explain on the radio what's happening
on the field, and not be a judge of it,
not be a columnist or a sports talk show host,
but just tell people what's going on. And when you
say there're seven and thirty three, people know they're not
(09:50):
very good. You don't have to dwell on a whole lot.
Just you give the record. Or you know, you get
beat twenty one to nothing in a game, you know
that's a rough outing and it's a very difficult thing
for everybody connected, which was what happened on Saturday. So
I think you just keep that perspective of hey, you're
the play by play guy. You're not necessarily somebody needs
to take shots at a team, and you don't have
(10:12):
to overpraise them when they're doing great either. It just
called the play by play. And I think we've done.
I think a decent job of doing that through this
rugged early season and.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Jerry over this past week in particular, when the Detroit
Tigers came to town. We saw the margins of victory
for Detroit and then the margins of victory for San Diego,
including infamously that twenty one nothing game. Do you think
the fate what might have been any different for Bud
Black had it been like four to three losses. They're
playing hard, they're closed, but they're just missing it. But
that was these large blowout losses. That was really the
(10:43):
final straw.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I do.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
I think that the game on Saturday had a lot
to do with it.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
When you get me twenty one to nothing, you know,
everybody connected with the organization is embarrassed by something like that,
and there's a lot of reaction to it. And the
reaction this time is going to be, all right, we're
gonna have to make a move. Made a move to
put hitting coach in place already, which I think was a,
you know, a good move for the Rockies. I think
they needed a new voice with Clint Hurdle, and I
think we've seen some of the good results of that move.
(11:10):
But yeah, I figured it would happen at some point.
Budds was extended, but only, like you said, for one year,
and so I thought it might happen the end of season.
There would be a change. I didn't think it would
be during the season. But when you get beat twenty
one to nothing and you'd become in the process six
and thirty three, something's probably going to have to change.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Jerry Shemil, play by play voice of the Rockies, joining
US broadcast tonight over on KOA as they start a
series in Arlington against the suddenly hot Texas Rangers. So, Jerry,
you look at where the Rockies are and they didn't
get here overnight. And it's not just one thing that's
going wrong or that they're doing wrong.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
But where does it start?
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I think Clint Hurdle brings this kind of balanced perspective
to it. He's had some good times here in Colorado.
But it's not about necessarily putting a winning streak together.
You're seven thirty three. It's about winning a game, or
it's about winning it about winning just one play. Where
does it start in your mind that you might be
able to see some positive, tangible results that turn this
thing around at least heading in the right direction.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
I think there's two things Ryan that way. One there
has to be more consistently with his starting pitching. I
really thought coming to the season, the starting pitcher might
be a strong point for the team, and maybe the
weaker aspect of that would be the bullpen, and that's
been switched around a little bit. Bullpen hasn't been great lately,
but as a group, they've done a pretty good job
out there with some young and exciting arms. By the way,
(12:31):
I think it starts. It always starts to me with
starting pitching. You're a baseball guy, you know that it
starts with your starting pitching. And when it's inconsistent, when
it's up and down, when you've had the years that
Kyle Frielan has been bouncing around, inconsistent. Aermon Marquez looked
great yesterday, but he's been inconsistent. You got some injuries
with the rotation, Ryan Feltner and Austin Gombre bole still out.
(12:52):
I think it starts there. You have to have some consistence.
You got to get some traction. I think, first of all,
with that rotation, the other thing that needs cleaned up
as a defense. I mean, coming in this season, I
thought that was a strong point for the team. I mean,
there's gold glovers all over the place and they haven't
performed like that other than Ryan McMahon. So I think
those two things, maybe a third thing would get would
(13:14):
be to get your middle infield in position, get isekiol
Tobar back, which I think is going to happen probably
the next two or three days at shortstop. Great player there,
great young player. And then Tyrostrada, who got hurt and
in spring is supposed to be your second baseman. He's
working his way back. I think once you solidify up
the middle, and you've got Brenton Doyle in center already,
I think you'll see bast improvement defensively.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Jerry, broadcast time five thirty tonight or what time, yes,
sir for a six to ozho five first pitch. On
the other side, Tyler Molly going the right hander for
the Rangers. And here's an exciting young arm that's drawn
some retention with not only within the organization but throughout
Major League Baseball, and that's Chase Dolander. Here's the thing, Jerry,
that makes it so difficult in Colorado when you play
(13:57):
half your games at Corpsfield, very difficult to draw. And
let's say a free agent pitcher a big ticket item
and sign him to a big contract to pitch half
his games. There but the chance to scout draft and
develop a guy like Chase. You see that guy and
what he's capable of. Are there more of those types
of arms, in your opinion in the Rockies organization that
might be coming to help.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Yes, there are, I can definitely say yes to that
at that question is my answer, and we saw some
of those in spring training. Gabriel who Hughes as a
former number one pick. He's at Double A Hartford. He
was the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week last week,
got a great arm. There's some other lefties that are
in Double A and even highst high A that are
(14:38):
going to develop into major league players. And we had
a glimpse of some of those guys in spring training.
So yes, that Ryan, there's reinforcements on the way both
I think in a rotation as starters in a bullpen
as well. There's some already some very exciting young arms
in that bullpen. I mean Zach Agnos. Zach Dagnos has
had one of the best minor league careers.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Of any Rocky in franchise history.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
If you look back at his numbers, he was dominant
through that and yet he's the twenty six prospect in
the Rockies organization because he doesn't throw real hard as
Seth Halverson is averaging with his fastball one hundred miles
an hour, exciting young arms there, and I think we'll
see some more of those as probably this season progresses,
and certainly in the next couple of seasons.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
And Chase Dolander going tonight on the Mountain, the right
hander just twenty three years of age, but has showed
great promise, is rocketed through the Rockies minor league system
and finds himself in the major league rotation for a
team that has nowhere to go but up. You can
listen to Night starting at five point thirty pm over
on KOA along with Jack Corrigan, our guest Jerry Shemel,
the voices of the Colorado Rockies. Thank you so much,
(15:38):
Jerry for your time today, and let's hope it gets
better going up from here.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
You bet my pleasures.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Thanks for having me, Jerry Shemel, and we want to
thank Jesse Thomas for helping set that up as well.
Five seven seven three nine the number to text us at.
I was at all three games of the Detroit Tigers series,
and I got to tell you, the Rockies played very well.
In that first game, it went to extra innings, very exciting.
Rockies grabbed the lead, a big lead early. Tigers are
a good team. They fought back and they just found
(16:04):
a way to win. And that's where the Rockies, I think,
when you lose, there's this mentality of here we go again,
especially when you lose to the degree that they have.
At seven and thirty three, and my brother and I
were joking about the scene from The Natural. They bring
in the psychologists. He goes, losing is a disease like
bulbonic plague. And then Robert Redford as Roy Hobb steps up.
I'm not gonna do it, Pop, I'm here to play baseball.
(16:27):
So they get things turned around from there. The New
York Knights, did, I mean things were going pretty bad.
I know it's fiction, okay, But the Colorado Rockies, you know,
they're an institution in this state and they're in a
very difficult division in the NL West. Here's hopeus some
young players get a look and like Chase doll Ender
to night maybe you can start a winning streak and
we get that road to recovery started. Take this time out,
(16:48):
come back with much more after this. Ryan Schuling Live continues.

once again for another edition of Trump's Hot Takes, charting
(18:57):
the forty seventh president's ethic interactions with the fake news media.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
I mean, I'll tell you a story. Friend of mine
who's a business man, very very very top guy. Most
of you would have heard of him.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
A highly neurotic, brilliant businessman, seriously overweight, and he takes
the fat.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
The fat shot drug. And he called me up and
he said President. He calls me. He used to call
me Donald. Now he calls me president. So that's nice. Respect.
Speaker 1 (19:28):
It's a rough guy, smart guy, very successful, very rich.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I wouldn't even know how we would know.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
This, but because he's got comments the president.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Could I ask you a question. What I'm in London
and I just paid for this damn fat drug I take.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
I said, it's not working, he said, He said, I
just paid eighty eight dollars and in New York I'd
paid thirteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
What the hell is going on?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (19:59):
This this fat drug shot and he's telling me he's
taking this is not working. He checks that, like to
make sure that the guy he's talking about knows that
the President feels that the fat SHOT's not working.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
This fat shot drug might.
Speaker 6 (20:19):
Be ozempic, but I don't want to give them free advertising.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Wouldn't be fair. Oh wow, Donald Trump. Another hot take
edition of that five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
The text to send in now.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Often on this program you will hear me sing the
praises of one Bill Maher.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I've been a fan of his going way back.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
I kind of distanced myself when he was really deeply immersed,
I mean, neck deep in Trump derangement syndrome. But he
seems to have woken up from that a bit. He's awake,
not woke. He's definitely not woke. I want to give
him credit for that. And he goes down the right
path here talking about comp Aaron Trump to Hitler. It's
(21:01):
so lazy, it's trite, it's overdone, it's cliche, it's lost
its meaning. It's white noise, and it's a surefire away
to figure out who has the stuff to argue with
you and who really doesn't.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
Narrie David tanaima Nazi, he did well, he said, I
had dinner with Hitler.
Speaker 7 (21:21):
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean how and by the way,
and I think literally when we say we do it
to themselves, how dare anyone call Trump Hitler? That is
a that is is such an insult to the Jewish people.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
That's exactly what I said when I did an interview
about it, that it's like, among other things, first of all,
when you as soon as you play the Hitler card,
you've kind of lost the argument unless.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
You're really dealing with Hitler, which yes we're not.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
But agreed, like it is quite insulting to the ones
at Hitler, I mean Hitler. I keep calling him the
goat of evil. He's the goat.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Yeah, you know, you can't.
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Don't try to, you know, don't answer that conversation like
who was better than Michael Jordan's Okay, it's Hitler, all right,
Hitler's Michael Jordan of evil.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, all right, Lebron's great. It's different.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yeah, six rings, yeah, six million people dead, and you
know it's just like stop it, yeap.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
How do you think Michael Jordan feels about that comparison.
I'm know Michael Jordan fan, as a lifelong Bad Boys
Pistons fan, I don't have a lot of love lost
for Michael Jordan and the Bulls and Phil Jackson and
Scottie Pippen and blah. However, to equate Jordan's six NBA
Championship rings to Hitler killing six million Jews, I'm pretty
(22:53):
sure Michael Jordan doesn't want any part of that comparison.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
But that's what happens when you do this After Dark special.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
That Bill Maher does when he's totally stoned out of
his mind. He's smoking pot during this thing. Tony Hinchcliff
part of the Kill Tony tour. He was with Joe
Rogan when Rogan came here. You guys might remember that
Belco Theater, Tony drew a lot of controversy speaking at
a Republican event for Donald Trump not long before the election.
Remember that told an off colored joke, But that made
(23:25):
me like him even more. This is what's happening, people,
This is what the theme of today's show is. If
there is one you start calling everything that's that's not
woke misogynist and evil and hilarian and Nazi and patriarchy
and white supremacist, then a bunch of us, and I'm
(23:47):
talking a big number of us who were not always
hard right, I include myself in this portion of the conversation.
You have pushed us there hard left. Congratulations. You have
made it absolutely lock down that many people like me,
who might have been considered at one point a persuadable voter,
(24:10):
will never vote Democrat again.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Not the way the current Democratic Party is.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Constituted, Not with what we got into to start this hour,
where Bill Maher was calling out the woke tendencies, the
weak tendencies.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Of the left.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
No self respecting American man who wants to be respected,
who values that respect, who wants to show respect for others,
but isn't going to be beholden or bend the knee
to them. None of those types of voters are ever
gonna vote Democrat. Yeah, you're gonna get a Tim Walls,
You're gonna get a David Hogg. You might even get
a Bill Maher, but maybe not for much longer. But
(24:47):
you're missing the middle entirely. You're not even talking about
issues that matter to somebody who's in the political middle.
It's as if those people don't exist or you don't
think you need them to win. Trying to figure out
the calculus here by the left going hard left, saying
not only are we going to trans the kids, but
if you disagree as a parent, we're gonna take your
(25:09):
kid away from you. That's what just happened here in Colorado,
that bill awaiting Jared Poulis's signature. Goodness, gracious, I mean,
any pretense of being proud of being an American, valuing
the institutions of American family. You know, living together under
(25:31):
the same roof going on family vacations.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
This is anathema to the left.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
They view that as being part of the patriarchy and
part of white supremacy upon which this nation was founded.
According to them, are white imperialist father forefathers.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
This is insane. We know that.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
And Bill Maher I thought he was there. I thought
he was getting it. And then he says something stupid
like this, and Tony Hinchcliffe even pushes back, and he
does so very astutely.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
It's just the leftist kind of thinking and that kind
of stuff, because they are as crazy in their own way,
they're just not as dangerous, right, you mean the left
is the left is not as dangerous because they still.
Speaker 7 (26:10):
Would say that they are. That's an interesting because it
seems like the right wingers are the ones with the
guns and this and that, and we'll.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Take it feels that way.
Speaker 7 (26:19):
But I mean, all of a sudden, alast couple a
few years, I'm looking at who the mass shooters are
and this and that, and it is great.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
I'm talking about our way of life, which is which
is governed by the type of government we have, and
what they are still constitutionalists and institutionalists. Now, have they
nibbled at the edges?
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (26:41):
Have they invited? As always what we were saying with
the other thing, there's always an invited backlash when you
go too far. So you know, did Joe Biden do
things that were Imperial presidency things?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yes? Okay.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
He would go on to mention that President Biden to
circumvent a Supreme Court ruling that no, you cannot forgive,
wipe away, make other American taxpayers pay for defaulted upon
student loans.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
And he said it in his speech, Biden did I
don't care what this show. I'm gonna do it anyway, paraphrasing,
but not by much.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
And you out there in the listening audiences of Colorad
and had to choke on your coffee if you're still
drinking at this time of day, or maybe you started
into something else.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
And God love you if you have about the fact.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
That they're the constitutionalists, the democrats, the left, they're the
ones who respect our institutions. Are you insane the aforementioned
thirteen twelve bill Here in Colorado, we want to cut
your kid's body parts off, and if you disagree, shut up,
or we'll take you to court and take your kids
(27:52):
away from you.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
That's happening here.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
Just passed a bill with the governor's signature in a
back room because he didn't want to publicize too much,
taking our right.
Speaker 2 (28:04):
To bear arms away.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Semi automatic weapons, which are virtually every firearm where you
can depress the trigger one time and get one bullet.
That's what semi automatic means. This will not stand up
to the scrutiny of the Second Amendment in our constitutional
rights through the course, but that could take years, and
until then, our rights here are being infringed. Bill Maher
(28:30):
in Colorado, Jared Paulo's is no libertarian. This is laughable.
How about burning the charging stations, burning Tesla's, kying Tesla's,
threatening Tesla drivers, threatening to assassinate Elon Musk, justifying the
assassination of the United Healthcare CEO by Luigi Mangioni, cheering
(28:56):
him as a sex symbol like Taylor Lorenz is miss
me with this commentary, Bill Maher, your side is insane.
You're pointing it out and then you stop there. How
about Chaz and Chop. How about the George Floyd riots,
fiery but mostly peaceful. How about using violence as a
(29:16):
means to an end and having it be justified because
the unjustifies the means, because there's a bigger purpose and
goal that supersedes any constitutional rights institutions confines parameters guard rails.
The left is off the rails, not the right mass shooters.
(29:36):
Look at what happened in Tennessee. Details of that mass
shooting were kept under wraps because the person involved identified
as trans and wanted to take out Christian kids.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
The violence is coming from the left.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Don't get me this crap about the proud Boys or
the oathkeepers of the three percenters or whatever else. They
are fringe elements that don't see the light of day
unless the left mentions them.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
They're not part of my everyday existence.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
I do a talk radio show for Republicans on the right,
for conservatives, for libertarians, for populace. Never do I ever
cross paths with oathkeepers, proud Boys, three percenters.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
They're nowhere.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
The hard left, on the other hand, runs the Democratic Party.
The so called moderates like those here in Colorado, run
from the far left, lunatic fringe elements of their own party,
scared to death that they'll be unseated, that they might
suffer a fate like we'll see maybe with Chuck Schumer
and EOC. There's a reckoning coming from the hard left
(30:47):
and the moderate Democrats are terrified of their own people.
So this is a falls flat obviously, as an analysis
from Bill Maher, He's otherwise been very good. This is
horse bleep. It's total garbage and we all know it
here in Colorado. Final time out wrapping things up. Your
text five seven seven three nine, This Monday edition of
(31:08):
Ryan Shuling Live after this. Hopefully you're not driving one
headlight out there and you get pulled over.

seven three nine. Steven Littlson retired a law enforcement officer.
Speaker 2 (31:31):
Thank you for your service. Steve, as always, is.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
Not a large part of the Colorado legislature guilty of
aiding and abetting child abuse.
Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yes, I think on multiple fronts.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
Now, the fact that they're pushing through that's trans the
Kids Bill without parental consent and a stifling that consent
by saying you don't go along if you don't sign
on to your child's gender dysphoria pronouns identifying as the
opposite gender, getting hormone surgeries, and take your kids away
(32:02):
from you and take you to court, and it'll be
used against you in a court of law.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
At least in our miranda rights. We have those read
to us.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
These are hidden in the bill, the details, the devils
in the details literally in this case, and then nuking
a bill brought to the table by Representative Brandy Bradley,
who will join Dan Kaplis in just a little bit
that would make sure there would be hard time served
for child sex predators who rape kids, certainty in sentencing,
(32:37):
not just probation. No, no, no, No. Democrats booted that one.
Why what is the argument against that? I would like
to know five seven seven three nine Kelly conclusion from
your walk You love squirrels, but.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
You hate birds?
Speaker 8 (32:55):
Yeah, okay, explain it's on like donkey kong.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Okay? Are they magpies?
Speaker 8 (33:02):
I basically caught more than a few birds taking the
squirrel nuts that I put out to give the squirrels.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
What kind of peanuts? No, they're corn nuts? What kind
of nuts?
Speaker 8 (33:20):
I don't know?
Speaker 2 (33:22):
What kind of birds? What kind of birds are we
talking about?
Speaker 9 (33:24):
Well, they're like almonds and and uh oh geez, you're
getting classic nuts and and uh pecans and all this
different stuff. But no, no, I literally went out the
back door and I saw a damn bird.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
What kind of bird? Kind of bird? It's gray?
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Okay, so not the magpies, the beautiful.
Speaker 8 (33:49):
And white, the black and white.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
No, I don't know what fun fact about magpies. They're
one of the only species of animals.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
That can see their own reflection.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
To recognize themselves in a mirror.
Speaker 8 (33:58):
Yes, no, this didn't happen. Now it's online docing. I
am so done with.
