Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, it's State Representative Shannon Bird. Earlier this year, your
legislators passed a balanced budget, but thanks to Congressman Gabe
Evans and his vote to pass the federal Republican budget,
Colorado now has a one point two billion dollar hold
to fill in our own state budget and because of this,
every Colorado's costs are going to increase. Gabe voted for
(00:22):
this bill to take away tax refunds for Colorado residents
and also health insurance coverage for over one hundred and
ninety three thousand people in our to fund tax cuts
for billionaires. This is the time when we should be
doing everything we can to protect middle class families in
our state.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
We cannot make people's lives harder.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
We'll be doing the work this legislative special session to
make sure we minimize the damage.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh okay, Well, that's Representative Shannon Bird, and she is
running for Congress in the eighth So that's why she
took aim at Representative Gabe Evans, who is doing a
phenomenal job, I might add in the swing district of
the eighth and this is her best line of attack.
Tip of the cap, and good luck to her because
(01:08):
she's going to need it and Gable roll to victory
because he's getting the job done for Colorado's like you
and me, I got a tax cut. I stood to
benefit from the big beautiful bill, did you. I bet
you did. If you have a job and you pay taxes,
you'll be paying less in taxes. And I'm no billionaire,
not even close, not a millionaire. I'm a proud thousandaire
(01:31):
couple thousand. Maybe got to check my big account.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Anyway, that'll be after the show.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
To blame the state budget woes and a one point
two billion with a b dollar shortfall on the Congressional
Republican Gabe Evans for a federal budget that provides federal
funds but are going.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
To cut some of those funds to Colorado.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Trying to figure out how the federal budget should impact
in any way, shape, matter of form, Colorado's state budget.
I also take they passed a balanced budget. Let's check
with somebody who knows. How about Representative Brandy Bradley joining
us here on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Brandy, always good to talk to you, Thanks for joining me.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Absolutely so much gas lighting to untack in that short
little segment, isn't there is?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Representative Bird correct in saying that you guys passed a
balanced budget.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
You have to pall us a balance budget. But we
warn them, listen, seventeen billion dollars is what we need
for the one Department of Healthcare Policy and financing. Nine
billion of that comes from the federal government. And we said,
guess what, Trump's going to cut our funding because you
guys keep funding illegal immigrants instead of the citizens of Colorado.
And guess what he's done. He is followed through all
(02:48):
those promises. You know, when you hire Trendy or Ragua
gang members, your federal funding is going to get caught.
It's just that simple.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So that's what's happened.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I want to get your thoughts too on a story
that we've been covering today and I just had a
conversation with Daniel Durinski. There are a city council on
the big drug and gun bust in Aurora, there where
eight members of Trendy Arago were among thirty charged, including
three TD eight leaders. Various drugs, sixty nine weapons were
seized in this bust. Your thoughts on Trendy Aragua's presence
(03:18):
making Colorado and Aurora it's hub, it's ground zero.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well, listen. I love Councilwoman Danielle Durinsky. She is like me,
she is fear, She's a patriot. He stands for her
community and she stands for keeping them safe. Cindy Ramira
was a lovely lady. I've met that Danielle came and rescued.
We've been saying this, We've been screaming this from the
roofstoups that Kyle Clark all he went to report on
is how conservative women of the problem. Instead of keeping
(03:45):
our state safe, we fluctuate between the second and third
least safe state in the country.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Incredible, that is for sure when you look at the impact.
Let's go back to the federal portion of this, and
like you said, there's a lot to unpack with what
Representative Shannon Bird said, the Big Beautiful Bill that was
passed by a Republican Congress, including all four of our
Republican members.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Thank god, we've got four out of eight. Somehow in the.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Deep blue state of Colorado, half of our representatives in
the House are Republicans, along with Jeff Crank and Lauren Bobert,
and of course Jeff Heard Gave Evans voted for the
Big Beautiful Bill. Is that a net positive or a
net negative for Colorado citizens in your view, Representative Bradley, it's.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
A net positive. We have people that need to be
on Medicaid, which is for Mullican kids, seniors, and people
with disabilities. We have people in my district who have
kids with disabilities that are getting Medicaid cuts. These are
the people that it was supposed to be for. It
certainly was not written to be for transgender, mentally ill
people that want to look like men, that want to
(04:46):
look like women. It wasn't meant to pay for that.
It was not meant to pay for the setiside of babies,
and it certainly wasn't meant to pay for omni Salute,
which I will tell you we've spent about seventy three
million dollars on for the past two years so that
illegal immorg and have full coverage without paying a dime
for mental and physical healthcare.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Representative Brandy Bradley joining us representing the thirty ninth District
Republican of course, here on our program, Ryan Schuling Live.
Now we're less than forty eight hours away from this
special session called by Governor Jared Poulis. You had mentioned
and you are right. Barb kirk Meyer over in the
Senate as well as talking about this, you warn Democrats
like this is coming, It's going to happen, We've got
(05:26):
to account for it, and the ignored your warnings. Of course,
what do you anticipate is going to go down? How
is this going to play out on Thursday?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Brandy? And what do you expect?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Oh, exactly what you expect. They are coming after small
businesses instead of actually repealing things that have cost a
lot of money, like omni salute, like I don't know,
funding illegal citizens with full on healthcare that costs hundreds
of millions of dollars, warnes, see and eliminate state sales
tax vendor fee so that small businesses get no reimbursement
(05:57):
for their administrative burden for having sales tax and having
to remit that to the state. We're going to see
an elimination of the Regional Home Office tax credit, which
is going to increase costs for businesses and the consumers
will be paying more. And then you're going to see
a qualified Business Income Deduction buyback, which is going to
take away a previously deductible item for businesses and add
(06:18):
it back to the state.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Taxable income.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
So if you think Democrats are for businesses, you're wrong.
That's why we're the sixth most regulated state and about
two hundred thousand state rules in the state of Colorado
for businesses.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Representative Bradley, I spoke with your colleague, Representative Carlos Born,
and I thought he was in foreigned voice on the matter.
That's difficult to combat because he is the son of
immigrants to this country and successful ones at that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And he said, just.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Line item, if we were to eliminate state funding, taxpayer
Colorado citizen funding of illegal alien programs that should only
be available to citizens. We're talking about Medicare, Medicaid, Social
Secure already and then state funded programs along those lines
as well, that alone would balance the budget.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Is that true? That's true.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I mean it's pretty darn close. And you know we
spend just let your viewers know, we spend a million
dollars so that inmates and the Department of Correction that
our men can have cosmetic surgeries to feel more like women.
That's what we're spending our money on. So to go
after small businesses while Polus builds his two billion dollar
railroad system that no one's ever going to passenger relatistem
(07:29):
that no one will ever ride do that at that spending.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
You know, the.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Republicans are going to be the mature adults in the
room once again after the last session where we passed
seven hundred bill one of the people of Colorado, and
we're going to make her messaging.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Known over in the Senate.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
When I had that conversation with Senator Barb Kirkmeyer, I
know that she has a pretty strong working relationship with
my state Senator Jeff Bridges, the dude as I call him,
nice guy I've interviewed v for He's one of the
few Democrats that have come on this program. I think
part of it is he's my state senator, and I
would hope he would. But he is one of these few,
maybe open minded, so called moderate Democrats that might come
(08:06):
to the middle on some form of compromise that you're
talking about to help Colorado businesses and such. And yet
he has voted so many times it seems straight party
line with some of these far left, radical, insane bills
that have become law. How would you kind of assess
either that relationship between the two parties and the Senate,
how it compares to what you're dealing with in terms
(08:28):
of House Democrats. Where does it all stand for you
as you head into Thursday's special session.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I think we've lost her there for a second.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Zich ahead and try to reconnect with her, and if
her signal comes back, we'll get her answer to that.
I left everybody hanging with that cliffhanger of a question.
But in the meantime, we'll read some texts from you
at five seven, seven, three nine. If you've got thoughts
on the budget shortfall one point two billion dollars, what
you hope Republicans are going to try to stand and
deliver on? Okay, coming back, Sorry, we lost your signal
(09:02):
Jo just for a moment, represented Bradley, so we didn't
hear any of your answers.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
So if you just want to rewind, and I'm not.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Sure if you heard my entire question, but if you did,
go right ahead, can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You sound great?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Awesome. I think that the state Senators are more about
being fiscally responsible and actually trying to make Colorado more
affordable for the people of Colorado, and instead we have
these progresses in the State House that I don't think
are willing to meet.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
In the middle and help at all on anything. Well,
I mean the things.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
That I'm seeing coming for. I do not have any
hope that we in the middle on anything in the
special session.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Well, and I.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Think back as well, Representative Brandy Bradley, our guest Republican
in District thirty nine. I think back to the whole
property tax debacle when Gallagher was repealed and there was
nothing to replace it, and then property taxes were spiraling
out of control and Governor poul Has called a special session.
Then now he presents himself and you and I bo no,
this is farcical as a libertarian, as somebody that wants,
(10:04):
you know, low taxes, less government. That's entirely the opposite
of what he stands for and what he signed into
a law. But is there a possibility the Governor Polis,
knowing that this is something he called he's calling this
special session regarding the budget shortfall, that he might be
able to come in and help broker a deal. Or
is he just going to reinforce what the far left, progressive,
wacko Democrats in the House are.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Trying to do.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Well, I certainly hope that he will veto any bills
that put any more regulations on the people the businesses
of Colorado. I think that you know, he called this
special session because his precious AI Bill was killed by
his own party at the stroke of midnight the night
before session ended. And I believe that that special session
is aimed at just that. I don't know that he
(10:49):
has any real hopes of trying to make anything better
for the people of Colorado, and I certainly don't believe
he will.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, I wouldn't start with that presumption at all, and
I wouldn't blame you one bit.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Representative Bradley. I got to ask you about this.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It was a heartbreaking conversation that I had yesterday on
this program with a woman named Brittany Kurse who lost
her mother in a bizarre well, it was an accident,
but then it wasn't. At a McDonald's parking lotch She's
with her mother in a car. They order, they go
through the drive through, they're told the pull ahead. This
happens from time to time, and as they're sitting there waiting,
a vehicle comes by side swipes them, hits their door.
(11:22):
They get out, and this vehicle with this lunatic driver
hits her mother drags her a couple hundred feet, kills her,
but ends up walking free because he was deemed incompetent
to stand trial. Her account of what happened in court
was this defendant stood up and was asked, do you
know what incompetent means? And he replied, it means all
(11:44):
of this goes away. Are you going to bring this up?
I mean there's even a Democrat, Amy Padden, the eighteenth
Judicial District Attorney, who is coming out against these new
again insane levels of competency determination laws that if you
can go shrink shopping and find a psychiatrist to deem
you incompetent to stand trial, bingal, there you go, get
(12:06):
out of jail free card you never have to be
charged again. And we see that play out again with
Solomon Gallaghan, that sex offender who was deemed incompetent and
they have no choice but to release them to a
mental hospital and then he'll be released back into the public.
Are you going to stand up for this or Republican's
going to.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Take this issue?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I don't know in the special session, but when it
could be addressed, well, I'm.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Hopeful that they will address it. I was one of
nine people that voted against that bill in the first place,
and now you see the aftermath for it. It's incredibly heartbreaking.
I was supposed to be at a press conference talking
to all of those families. There's also the man that
threw the molotov cocktail on the poor Holocaust survivor that
we're hearing is also going to be deemed incompetent will
(12:46):
be released as well. These are the bills and laws
that are plaguing the safety of our state, and Republicans
agents need to be on them and be they don't
need to vote for them, and we have got to
clean up this mass next session.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Absolutely hold on represented Bradley. You just said you were
one of nine to vote against it. That number tells
me there were several Republicans that went along with this
competency law change.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Why and how did that happen?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
There was a Republican on the bill because it was
broad and enter them, and the way it was put
forward was that this is going to help the judges.
I guess with the incompetency and what we're seeing now
is that's not really true, not.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
At all, and this is having devastating consequences and this
needs to be revisited. It's of many terrible bills that
have been passed into law that is right up there
near the top, at least at the moment. Representative Brandy
Bradley our guest final question, Brandy, I always appreciate your time.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We wish you luck heading into that special session.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But as far as your constituents are concerned, as far
as like attainable ground, We're going to use a football
analogy here. If you move in the football down the
field as the season begins, high school, college, and pro,
where is there maybe the most amount of hope or
confidence for you, issues that you feel are important that
you need to address that you might be able to
get over the finish line.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Oh, I think getting over the finish line is all
the social media input. My bill, which I haven't released
to the public, I'm happy to talk about real quick
is to stop medicaid funding for abortions, transgender mutilation, and
illegal immigrants. So that will gain the state about five
hundred and fifty million dollars back. We can balance the
budget by doing just that and start spending money on
(14:26):
people that are on disability waivers that can't get the
Medicaid services that they were promised by our state. So
let's cut the fat, trim the fat, and get the
citizens of Colorado a more affordable, safer state.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
She is a true conservative in the House and we
are lucky to have her there and on this program.
Representative Brandy Bradley, representing the thirty ninth District. Brandy, thanks
as always for your time. Go get them on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Oh don't worry, I will.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Thanks Ran five nine.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
You know what we feature on this program that I've
noticed and today stands out strong Republican conservative women. And
that's what bothers the left, I think most of all,
is somebody like Representative Carlos Barone does too.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
So you have people that have a life.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Experience shaped by legal immigration who stand firmly against illegal aliens,
like Representative Barone.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But how do you attack him?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Do you call Carlos Barone a xenophobe, some kind of
racist even though he is an immigrant who came here
from Mexico, Like, how does that factor in the mathematical
equation the calculus?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Because the left is so lazy, it's so easy to
be a leftist.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You just throw out these ad hominin attacks and these
talking points and labels, and you're never getting a challenged
on them, not by the mainstream media. So you just
go into this reflexive kind of gibberish, racist, xenophobe, misogynist
is Randy is Brandy Bradley a misogynist? Is Daniel Cherinsky?
As methinks not? But what is the line of attack there?
(16:05):
It's very difficult to do. And so this is what
drives someone like Comrade Kyle nuts. And you've heard Representative
Bradley mention him directly, and I do two from time
to time because I know some things that happened behind
the scenes. I know, for instance, that Kyle Clark ignored
a plea via email from Cindy Romero, our guest in
(16:25):
the next segment.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
She went to him because she was a big fan
of nine News.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
She was a Democrat, and Kyle Clark was the star
of that television station, which is going to be acquired
by the group that owns Fox thirty one. That might
be interesting for Kyle Clark's future. We'll just kind of
keep tabs on that. However, the email that Cindy Romero
sent was pleading for nine News to cover the fact
(16:53):
that her cameras installed outside her apartment at edge of
Lowry in Aurora, were capturing image of trendy I Ragwa
gang members who were heavily armed, who were commandeering the
building and units within it, who were kicking out regular
lease paying residents from it, and we're using that premises
(17:14):
to run guns and drugs and women. He ignored her.
I've called him out several times. I would encourage you
to do the same, peacefully, not fiery, but mostly peaceful.
Entirely peacefully, and see if you get an answer, because
he won't answer me every time. He kind of pops
off here on X. He hasn't blocked me yet, which
is probably in his best interest because I'm just gonna
(17:36):
put him on blast. He did not respond to Cidney Ramero.
He does not deny responding to Sidney Romero. He's constantly
thirsting after Representative Lauren Bolbert for a one on one interview.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
She won't grant it to him. She finds him kind
of creepy and weird.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And then you hear stories from Danielle Jirinsky, from Brandy
Bradley and Heidi Ganall.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Kyle Clark has a conservative woman problem.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I'd like to help him, but I don't think I
can cidy Rameril next on Ryan Schuling.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Life long undercover operation here in Colorado, and this case
tells the story of illegal weapons, drugs and violence and
a warning some details are disturbing.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You're in this investigation.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
The ATF undercover agents met individuals that that compared murder
to playing games such as golf. These same individuals described
to our undercover agents that not only would they commit murder,
but they would bring heads of their victims back for
additional compensation.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
In total, thirty people were indicted, including three leaders of TDA,
one in the US two in Columbia. Charges include murder
for hire, firearms trafficking, and drug distribution agencies sixty nine
firearms through the course of the investigation and the case
began nearly ten months ago after a rise of violent
crime in Colorado. US Attorney four call Colorado Peter mcneiely
(19:01):
said some of the defendants who offered to carry out
murders were the same individuals committing crimes in Aurora apartment complexes. Now,
this is one of several properties in Aurora where multiple
crimes have been reported, including incidents just this summer.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Aurora police say TDA first.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Targeted the city back in late twenty twenty three, choosing
locations with little law enforcement presence and minimal oversight from
property management. McNeely warns the threat from TDA remains, but
efforts to disrupt the gang are ongoing.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
I have a message specifically for TDA. We will not
let you use Colorado as your headquarters in the United States.
If you bring your dangerous crimes to Colorado, we will
hunt you down, and we will bring you to justice,
and we will go anywhere in the world in pursuit of.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
You, an ATF agent say. Even though Colorado is considered
the hub for TDA gang activity, this investigation also involves
cities like Miami, at Chicago and Kansas.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
City, Colorado, Colorado the hub of TDA activity.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Who at a thunkket right.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
A pro tip on the production side. I talked about
this with Zach during the last hour one. Never do
your live stand up on television where there are jackhammers
being used in the background. That's point one point two.
Back in the production truck or the station wherever this
is going on. When she tosses to a clip, turn
her audio down. We don't need her ambient sound underneath
(20:27):
the clips that she's tossing to Little pro Field Production
News one on one there, Kelly Coulcare is back. Kelly,
I want to task you with something because I want
to make sure that I'm right on this.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
But I think that I am.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
So on the invite I sent you and Zach for
our next guest, I included the link to the Denver
Post article that talked about these trend'a Ragua arrests eight
of them total. Out of thirty who were charged, three
of them were leaders of the gang.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Well, hold on our good.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Friend Shelley Bradbury both the article if you remember her,
she's the one that docks do better Denver.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No, no, no, I'm trying to be nicer, okay, So.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
She's the one that docks do better Denver. And the
three women that were providing information to the woman who
runs it, but didn't Docks the actual woman running it,
because that person has stayed anonymous.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Thank god.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
But in Shelly Bradbury's article in the Denver Post about
this very story that you just heard the reporter that
you heard in the field, I distinctly recall her saying
Aurora more than once in the Denver Post article what
I saw, what I remember, and I could be wrong,
and please correct me if I am. I saw a
Metro Denver and Aurora was not mentioned once. I am,
(21:45):
Will you go.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Back and check that for me, because I hate to
put that out there and have it not be right.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Somebody okay, well, somebody that I know called past tense
Aurora home is our next guest and she is a hero.
Cindy Romero, along with her husband Ed, they set up
cameras outside their apartment because nobody was listening to them,
including their rora PD at that time. Now, talking about
Chief Chamberlain, he's done a good job, but he's got
a heavy lift. The preceding chiefs were downplaying this held
(22:13):
a public press conference denying it was happening at all.
Governor Jared Polis called all of these accusations a feature
of Daniell Jorreinsky's imagination. And as I mentioned the previous segment,
Kyle Clark, lead anchor nine News, top rated news program
and station in the market Denver Boulder, did not respond
to email queries from Cindy Romero, and she joins US
(22:35):
Now and Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Cindy, do I have that right?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
And we go back in time and you initially sent
that email to Kyle Clark.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
You never got a response and still have it to
this day. True, never at all.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Yeah, thank you so much for having me Ryan. That's
absolutely correct. I reached out to him first, and he
still has yet to respond to me.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Oh, you still got a chance to do it, and
let us know if he does.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Now what you just heard in that report, Cindy, remember
talking about that with you, chapter in verse almost to
the letter of what was just described. You saw it firsthand,
going on how long ago.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
August?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
It was a year yesterday, actually a year yesterday from
the video. But there were several crimes that I reported
before then, and it's all coming around now now they're
getting ready to go to try and they're getting ready
to go to court, and they're going to finally prosecute
some of these people.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Why did it take so long? And why?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I mean, obviously it's the Trump administration that's making this
a priority and by doing so, basically proving everyone who
was on the inside. Correct yourself, Danielle Driinski, John Fabrigatory,
those of us who had those conversations with you, Do
you feel vindicated at all?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Does this mean anything to you At this.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
Point, I feel vindicated. The vindication started a couple months
back when I actually seen changes starting to happen in
a rod and lots and lots of reports of my
neighborhood watch friends in Aurora, in my old neighborhood saying
that they haven't heard gunshots in months. So it makes
me feel very vindicated. I do feel bad for all
(24:14):
the victims that have continued to go on while they
were sticking to this narrative that it was just a handful.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
And that current police chief and Aurora's Todd Chamberlain, and
in our previous hour Daniell Jerinsky of Aurora City Council
gave him very high marks and rave reviews. So we're
open to having the chief join us on this program.
We'd love to talk to him about this and this
success which was manifested and aided you have to think
by Aurora PD cooperating with federal officials. And it wasn't
(24:43):
just Ice, it was Dea, it was ATF that was
involved in this big bust of sixty nine firearms, various
drugs like cocaine and meth. We're talking hard drugs here,
trendy or Ragwag gang members. It had everything Unke Stefan,
the old Bill Hayes, your character on Saturday Night Live
Weekend Up.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
They could have everything.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
So Cindy, as you recall it, dealing with a lot
of the and I'm talking gang members you were interacting with,
speaking with in Spanish, negotiating with, providing them with things
like blankets and food, etc. To kind of broker a
deal with them to leave you alone. As you think
back to your time there, as horrific as it was,
now we know that they were running guns and drugs
(25:25):
and that's part of the bust. Were they also running
women prostitution?
Speaker 8 (25:30):
Yes, women prostitution and it was out in the open.
They didn't try to hide it. If they knew I
had cameras, they didn't.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Try to hide it.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
And I feel so in a unique position to where
I could give the police all these videos. I gave
them a year and a half worth of videos, and
now they're able to use those videos to compile reco
cases against these individuals.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
At what point, Cindy, as you think back with you
and your husband Ed and what you encountered and what
you experienced, at what point were you most in fear
for your own personal safety.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
The weeks leading up to the August eighteenth shooting of
my friend never weeks we were terrified. We could not sleep.
There was no end to the harassment and the destruction
of the property, and the torture and the noise and
the fighting. There was just no end to it. The
weeks before the actual shooting, we knew that we had
(26:31):
to get out.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Unfortunately, we went to.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Many many different new apartments, probably one of them being
the Ivy Crossing actually and See to Run and others
that have been exposed.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
As being harboring gang members.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
We went to several of them looking for another place
to live. So we knew the gang members were there,
and we reported that to the police. Well before you
know the famous video.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
The one that went viral, Cindy Romero our guest.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You can follow her on ex at e NC two
six six. That is her handle on X That's the
real hur I've interacted with her. She's the real deal.
I want to go back to this portion of the
ending of this package from Fox News and just put
this in perspective, the scope.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And the scale of this.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
We will not let you use Colorado as your headquarters
in the United States, if you bring your dangerous crimes
to Colorado, we will hunt you down, and we will
bring you to justice, and we will go anywhere in
the world.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
In pursuit of you.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
An ATF agent say, even though Colorado is considered the
hub for TDA gang activity, this investigation also involves cities
like Miami, at Chicago, and Kansas City.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
If you had presented me with a multiple choice quiz,
and this was a question, and one of these four
cities was the hub of trendy or ragua gang activity
for the entire country, and my multiple choice selections were Chicago, Miami,
Kansas City, and Aurora.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I don't know that Aurora would have been my third guest.
It might have been my last guest.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
So, Cindy, as best as you can explain it, how
did it happen here?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Why did it happen here?
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Well, Todd Chamberlin actually came forward and said, one of
the main reasons is lack of police interactions. They knew
that the police were not responding to calls. They knew
that I would call the police repeatedly and they wouldn't
show up, So why wouldn't they They had already ran
off the manager of the apartments with from attacking them.
(28:38):
They had already put them in the hospital and run
them off the property. Why wouldn't they dig in and
decide to make Aurora their home?
Speaker 9 (28:45):
And it wasn't until the current Trump administration.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Started coming in that they actually started making it a priority.
Once the video went viral, they could hardly deny it.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
You know, I think of all the pop culture like
Miami Vice and the movie Scarface, and that's South Florida,
that's Miami.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
The whole show was based on that.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
We don't have a show like that based in Aurora.
But I guess Cindy, we should. Well.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
I feel like the Democratic leaders in Aurora and Denver,
especially Denver had all these homeless illegal immigrants, and what
they did was they pushed them out to the surrounding
county and they bust them in and they dropped them
off and they were able to get gain a toe
hold that way.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well, we're happy to report that Cindy is into a
new job and her husband ed doing well as well.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
They've relocated.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I won't say where, but Cindy, I hope you feel
a lot safer where you are right now.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
I do, I do I feel much safer, and I
feel like we should all feel a little bit safer. However,
I agree with them in the ats, and there is
so much more to be done, so much more. It
is not just Aurora anymore, it's everywhere.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Cindy Reynold was on the front lines as she was
brave enough to speak out, and she got to meet
President Trump when he came to Aurora during last presidential cycle.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Sindy, thank you so much for your time. We'll talk
again soon anytime.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Ryan, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
All right, Cindy Romero.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Right there, we're closing out a brand new fill in
guest for Dan Caplis.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I'll give you three guesses, but.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Not a fourth where you turn after this on Ryan
Shielding Life texted five seven seven three nine, including this one.
Leave it to Alexa to provide the perfect segue looking
forward to doctor Dunn. Well, I've got some good news
for you, Alexa, and for everybody else out there. I'm
(30:41):
gonna be handing off the baton to doctor Matt Dunn.
And he is in studio with me right now making
his Dan Kaplis fill in premiere debut.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
All of those things we rolled out the red carpet,
Doctor Dunn.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
Welcome, Yeah, appreciate that red carpet. I'm feeling extraordinarily welcome.
I'm wanted to find my way in and like where
to park and all that. But once you think of
the red Room, a lot of people get freaked out
by that. It's very slick, very fancy. Around here called
it the shrine aggressive, the shining.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Room, like when the blood comes down from the elevators
and the twins and all that, and it's just kind
of it freaks me out every time I'm in there. So,
doctor Dunn, for our audience members that might be hearing
you for the first time, how would you introduce yourself
to our audience.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Well, I would say I'm just sort of some dude who.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
Grew up right around here, Terry Creek High School grad,
and I practice dentistry actually not too far from here,
Dennis down in Centennial Area. I've got four little kiddos
and I have a mini van, and so when I'm
not practicing dentistry or get a chance to come in
and fill in for my good friend. I'm a big
(31:45):
fan of Dan Kaplis.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
You know, I'm loading them up in the minivan.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
I'm going to swim practice, soccer practice, piano recitals, field hockey,
choir practices.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
That's sort of what I do all the time. Has
Stephan Hubbs changed his dunists to you? Because what an
upgrade that would be, if you know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (32:06):
Should I say no comment on that one longtime friend,
the Stephen Tubbs.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I'll tell you he was in here yesterday. I believe
he was on the show. Yeah, okay, yes, couldn't track
him down in person. See you came in person and
we got to get stuff and to do that sometime soon.
Speaker 9 (32:22):
Personal appearance, that's you know, just yeah, I've got an
edge on mister Tubbs this day.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I love it. And you could follow him and his
entire apparatus. I call it at Backbone Radio, right, And
what is what is backbone Radio?
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Yep?
Speaker 9 (32:34):
There's a program called Backbone Radio that I was the
host of for many a year in the Denver metro
area and somehow fell into that kind of as a
hobby and it went on for technically twenty years and
it was a Sunday program. And I did conclude that
(32:55):
program last year, last summer, so exactly a year ago.
Since I've been sitting behind a microphone, blabbing away about anything, bloviating,
and I think I think that's been much appreciated in
the Denver metro areaal that I have sort of.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Not been around. No, we got to reprise you. We
got to have like zombie backbone radio and bring it back.
Speaker 9 (33:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
That's today, right, yeah, right here, right now.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah, what do you plan on discussing with the people
at large today?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Well, I hadn't really thought about it.
Speaker 9 (33:23):
Yeah, I figured out figure something to talk about, but
I want to hit kind of the big stuff, you know,
Ukraine tariffs and the.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Rest of it.
Speaker 9 (33:31):
But I was struck by You're talking about James Komy
being a swifty and I had not heard that. I
get in the car, I turn you on and oh god,
I was like, that sounds like James Comy and sure enough,
and it made me think, what is going on with
James Komy that he would want to try to latch
on to Taylor Swift to try to save his bacon
(33:53):
in some way?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Do you get the sense that he's feeling.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
Worried about something, maybe a little desperate about something. Till
see Gabbard really and all the stuff. The DNI releasing
some materials on Russia, Russia, Russia, Gates. It makes me
wonder if Komy is concerned about something and wants to
I would say, cynically latch on too Taylor Swift to
try to like get his pr up in some way
(34:16):
with a certain community.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Well, if he is a Swift, he should know better
than to try to tangle Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
So I don't like his chances in that.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Matchup, But I do like Doctor Dunn's chances of filling
in for Dan Caplis because he's gonna do it whether
you're ready or not. Stay tuned for that coming up next.
That'll do it for me. From here for now, I'll
talk to you tomorrow. Right here, I'm Ryan Schruling Live
Hi, it's State Representative Shannon Bird. Earlier this year, your
legislators passed a balanced budget, but thanks to Congressman Gabe
Evans and his vote to pass the federal Republican budget,
Colorado now has a one point two billion dollar hold
to fill in our own state budget and because of this,
every Colorado's costs are going to increase. Gabe voted for
(00:22):
this bill to take away tax refunds for Colorado residents
and also health insurance coverage for over one hundred and
ninety three thousand people in our to fund tax cuts
for billionaires. This is the time when we should be
doing everything we can to protect middle class families in
our state.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
We cannot make people's lives harder.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
We'll be doing the work this legislative special session to
make sure we minimize the damage.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Oh okay, Well, that's Representative Shannon Bird, and she is
running for Congress in the eighth So that's why she
took aim at Representative Gabe Evans, who is doing a
phenomenal job, I might add in the swing district of
the eighth and this is her best line of attack.
Tip of the cap, and good luck to her because
(01:08):
she's going to need it and Gable roll to victory
because he's getting the job done for Colorado's like you
and me, I got a tax cut. I stood to
benefit from the big beautiful bill, did you. I bet
you did. If you have a job and you pay taxes,
you'll be paying less in taxes. And I'm no billionaire,
not even close, not a millionaire. I'm a proud thousandaire
(01:31):
couple thousand. Maybe got to check my big account.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Anyway, that'll be after the show.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
To blame the state budget woes and a one point
two billion with a b dollar shortfall on the Congressional
Republican Gabe Evans for a federal budget that provides federal
funds but are going.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
To cut some of those funds to Colorado.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Trying to figure out how the federal budget should impact
in any way, shape, matter of form, Colorado's state budget.
I also take they passed a balanced budget. Let's check
with somebody who knows. How about Representative Brandy Bradley joining
us here on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Brandy, always good to talk to you, Thanks for joining me.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Absolutely so much gas lighting to untack in that short
little segment, isn't there is?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Representative Bird correct in saying that you guys passed a
balanced budget.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
You have to pall us a balance budget. But we
warn them, listen, seventeen billion dollars is what we need
for the one Department of Healthcare Policy and financing. Nine
billion of that comes from the federal government. And we said,
guess what, Trump's going to cut our funding because you
guys keep funding illegal immigrants instead of the citizens of Colorado.
And guess what he's done. He is followed through all
(02:48):
those promises. You know, when you hire Trendy or Ragua
gang members, your federal funding is going to get caught.
It's just that simple.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
So that's what's happened.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I want to get your thoughts too on a story
that we've been covering today and I just had a
conversation with Daniel Durinski. There are a city council on
the big drug and gun bust in Aurora, there where
eight members of Trendy Arago were among thirty charged, including
three TD eight leaders. Various drugs, sixty nine weapons were
seized in this bust. Your thoughts on Trendy Aragua's presence
(03:18):
making Colorado and Aurora it's hub, it's ground zero.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Well, listen. I love Councilwoman Danielle Durinsky. She is like me,
she is fear, She's a patriot. He stands for her
community and she stands for keeping them safe. Cindy Ramira
was a lovely lady. I've met that Danielle came and rescued.
We've been saying this, We've been screaming this from the
roofstoups that Kyle Clark all he went to report on
is how conservative women of the problem. Instead of keeping
(03:45):
our state safe, we fluctuate between the second and third
least safe state in the country.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Incredible, that is for sure when you look at the impact.
Let's go back to the federal portion of this, and
like you said, there's a lot to unpack with what
Representative Shannon Bird said, the Big Beautiful Bill that was
passed by a Republican Congress, including all four of our
Republican members.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Thank god, we've got four out of eight. Somehow in the.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Deep blue state of Colorado, half of our representatives in
the House are Republicans, along with Jeff Crank and Lauren Bobert,
and of course Jeff Heard Gave Evans voted for the
Big Beautiful Bill. Is that a net positive or a
net negative for Colorado citizens in your view, Representative Bradley, it's.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
A net positive. We have people that need to be
on Medicaid, which is for Mullican kids, seniors, and people
with disabilities. We have people in my district who have
kids with disabilities that are getting Medicaid cuts. These are
the people that it was supposed to be for. It
certainly was not written to be for transgender, mentally ill
people that want to look like men, that want to
(04:46):
look like women. It wasn't meant to pay for that.
It was not meant to pay for the setiside of babies,
and it certainly wasn't meant to pay for omni Salute,
which I will tell you we've spent about seventy three
million dollars on for the past two years so that
illegal immorg and have full coverage without paying a dime
for mental and physical healthcare.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Representative Brandy Bradley joining us representing the thirty ninth District
Republican of course, here on our program, Ryan Schuling Live.
Now we're less than forty eight hours away from this
special session called by Governor Jared Poulis. You had mentioned
and you are right. Barb kirk Meyer over in the
Senate as well as talking about this, you warn Democrats
like this is coming, It's going to happen, We've got
(05:26):
to account for it, and the ignored your warnings. Of course,
what do you anticipate is going to go down? How
is this going to play out on Thursday?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Brandy? And what do you expect?
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Oh, exactly what you expect. They are coming after small
businesses instead of actually repealing things that have cost a
lot of money, like omni salute, like I don't know,
funding illegal citizens with full on healthcare that costs hundreds
of millions of dollars, warnes, see and eliminate state sales
tax vendor fee so that small businesses get no reimbursement
(05:57):
for their administrative burden for having sales tax and having
to remit that to the state. We're going to see
an elimination of the Regional Home Office tax credit, which
is going to increase costs for businesses and the consumers
will be paying more. And then you're going to see
a qualified Business Income Deduction buyback, which is going to
take away a previously deductible item for businesses and add
(06:18):
it back to the state.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Taxable income.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
So if you think Democrats are for businesses, you're wrong.
That's why we're the sixth most regulated state and about
two hundred thousand state rules in the state of Colorado
for businesses.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Representative Bradley, I spoke with your colleague, Representative Carlos Born,
and I thought he was in foreigned voice on the matter.
That's difficult to combat because he is the son of
immigrants to this country and successful ones at that.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And he said, just.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Line item, if we were to eliminate state funding, taxpayer
Colorado citizen funding of illegal alien programs that should only
be available to citizens. We're talking about Medicare, Medicaid, Social
Secure already and then state funded programs along those lines
as well, that alone would balance the budget.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Is that true? That's true.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
I mean it's pretty darn close. And you know we
spend just let your viewers know, we spend a million
dollars so that inmates and the Department of Correction that
our men can have cosmetic surgeries to feel more like women.
That's what we're spending our money on. So to go
after small businesses while Polus builds his two billion dollar
railroad system that no one's ever going to passenger relatistem
(07:29):
that no one will ever ride do that at that spending.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
You know, the.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Republicans are going to be the mature adults in the
room once again after the last session where we passed
seven hundred bill one of the people of Colorado, and
we're going to make her messaging.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Known over in the Senate.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
When I had that conversation with Senator Barb Kirkmeyer, I
know that she has a pretty strong working relationship with
my state Senator Jeff Bridges, the dude as I call him,
nice guy I've interviewed v for He's one of the
few Democrats that have come on this program. I think
part of it is he's my state senator, and I
would hope he would. But he is one of these few,
maybe open minded, so called moderate Democrats that might come
(08:06):
to the middle on some form of compromise that you're
talking about to help Colorado businesses and such. And yet
he has voted so many times it seems straight party
line with some of these far left, radical, insane bills
that have become law. How would you kind of assess
either that relationship between the two parties and the Senate,
how it compares to what you're dealing with in terms
(08:28):
of House Democrats. Where does it all stand for you
as you head into Thursday's special session.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
I think we've lost her there for a second.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Zich ahead and try to reconnect with her, and if
her signal comes back, we'll get her answer to that.
I left everybody hanging with that cliffhanger of a question.
But in the meantime, we'll read some texts from you
at five seven, seven, three nine. If you've got thoughts
on the budget shortfall one point two billion dollars, what
you hope Republicans are going to try to stand and
deliver on? Okay, coming back, Sorry, we lost your signal
(09:02):
Jo just for a moment, represented Bradley, so we didn't
hear any of your answers.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
So if you just want to rewind, and I'm not.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Sure if you heard my entire question, but if you did,
go right ahead, can you hear me?
Speaker 2 (09:11):
You sound great?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Awesome. I think that the state Senators are more about
being fiscally responsible and actually trying to make Colorado more
affordable for the people of Colorado, and instead we have
these progresses in the State House that I don't think
are willing to meet.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
In the middle and help at all on anything. Well,
I mean the things.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
That I'm seeing coming for. I do not have any
hope that we in the middle on anything in the
special session.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Well, and I.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
Think back as well, Representative Brandy Bradley, our guest Republican
in District thirty nine. I think back to the whole
property tax debacle when Gallagher was repealed and there was
nothing to replace it, and then property taxes were spiraling
out of control and Governor poul Has called a special session.
Then now he presents himself and you and I bo no,
this is farcical as a libertarian, as somebody that wants,
(10:04):
you know, low taxes, less government. That's entirely the opposite
of what he stands for and what he signed into
a law. But is there a possibility the Governor Polis,
knowing that this is something he called he's calling this
special session regarding the budget shortfall, that he might be
able to come in and help broker a deal. Or
is he just going to reinforce what the far left, progressive,
wacko Democrats in the House are.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Trying to do.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
Well, I certainly hope that he will veto any bills
that put any more regulations on the people the businesses
of Colorado. I think that you know, he called this
special session because his precious AI Bill was killed by
his own party at the stroke of midnight the night
before session ended. And I believe that that special session
is aimed at just that. I don't know that he
(10:49):
has any real hopes of trying to make anything better
for the people of Colorado, and I certainly don't believe
he will.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, I wouldn't start with that presumption at all, and
I wouldn't blame you one bit.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Representative Bradley. I got to ask you about this.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It was a heartbreaking conversation that I had yesterday on
this program with a woman named Brittany Kurse who lost
her mother in a bizarre well, it was an accident,
but then it wasn't. At a McDonald's parking lotch She's
with her mother in a car. They order, they go
through the drive through, they're told the pull ahead. This
happens from time to time, and as they're sitting there waiting,
a vehicle comes by side swipes them, hits their door.
(11:22):
They get out, and this vehicle with this lunatic driver
hits her mother drags her a couple hundred feet, kills her,
but ends up walking free because he was deemed incompetent
to stand trial. Her account of what happened in court
was this defendant stood up and was asked, do you
know what incompetent means? And he replied, it means all
(11:44):
of this goes away. Are you going to bring this up?
I mean there's even a Democrat, Amy Padden, the eighteenth
Judicial District Attorney, who is coming out against these new
again insane levels of competency determination laws that if you
can go shrink shopping and find a psychiatrist to deem
you incompetent to stand trial, bingal, there you go, get
(12:06):
out of jail free card you never have to be
charged again. And we see that play out again with
Solomon Gallaghan, that sex offender who was deemed incompetent and
they have no choice but to release them to a
mental hospital and then he'll be released back into the public.
Are you going to stand up for this or Republican's
going to.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Take this issue?
Speaker 3 (12:21):
I don't know in the special session, but when it
could be addressed, well, I'm.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
Hopeful that they will address it. I was one of
nine people that voted against that bill in the first place,
and now you see the aftermath for it. It's incredibly heartbreaking.
I was supposed to be at a press conference talking
to all of those families. There's also the man that
threw the molotov cocktail on the poor Holocaust survivor that
we're hearing is also going to be deemed incompetent will
(12:46):
be released as well. These are the bills and laws
that are plaguing the safety of our state, and Republicans
agents need to be on them and be they don't
need to vote for them, and we have got to
clean up this mass next session.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Absolutely hold on represented Bradley. You just said you were
one of nine to vote against it. That number tells
me there were several Republicans that went along with this
competency law change.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Why and how did that happen?
Speaker 4 (13:13):
There was a Republican on the bill because it was
broad and enter them, and the way it was put
forward was that this is going to help the judges.
I guess with the incompetency and what we're seeing now
is that's not really true, not.
Speaker 3 (13:27):
At all, and this is having devastating consequences and this
needs to be revisited. It's of many terrible bills that
have been passed into law that is right up there
near the top, at least at the moment. Representative Brandy
Bradley our guest final question, Brandy, I always appreciate your time.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
We wish you luck heading into that special session.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
But as far as your constituents are concerned, as far
as like attainable ground, We're going to use a football
analogy here. If you move in the football down the
field as the season begins, high school, college, and pro,
where is there maybe the most amount of hope or
confidence for you, issues that you feel are important that
you need to address that you might be able to
get over the finish line.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Oh, I think getting over the finish line is all
the social media input. My bill, which I haven't released
to the public, I'm happy to talk about real quick
is to stop medicaid funding for abortions, transgender mutilation, and
illegal immigrants. So that will gain the state about five
hundred and fifty million dollars back. We can balance the
budget by doing just that and start spending money on
(14:26):
people that are on disability waivers that can't get the
Medicaid services that they were promised by our state. So
let's cut the fat, trim the fat, and get the
citizens of Colorado a more affordable, safer state.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
She is a true conservative in the House and we
are lucky to have her there and on this program.
Representative Brandy Bradley, representing the thirty ninth District. Brandy, thanks
as always for your time. Go get them on Thursday.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Oh don't worry, I will.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Thanks Ran five nine.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
You know what we feature on this program that I've
noticed and today stands out strong Republican conservative women. And
that's what bothers the left, I think most of all,
is somebody like Representative Carlos Barone does too.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
So you have people that have a life.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Experience shaped by legal immigration who stand firmly against illegal aliens,
like Representative Barone.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
But how do you attack him?
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Do you call Carlos Barone a xenophobe, some kind of
racist even though he is an immigrant who came here
from Mexico, Like, how does that factor in the mathematical
equation the calculus?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Because the left is so lazy, it's so easy to
be a leftist.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
You just throw out these ad hominin attacks and these
talking points and labels, and you're never getting a challenged
on them, not by the mainstream media. So you just
go into this reflexive kind of gibberish, racist, xenophobe, misogynist
is Randy is Brandy Bradley a misogynist? Is Daniel Cherinsky?
As methinks not? But what is the line of attack there?
(16:05):
It's very difficult to do. And so this is what
drives someone like Comrade Kyle nuts. And you've heard Representative
Bradley mention him directly, and I do two from time
to time because I know some things that happened behind
the scenes. I know, for instance, that Kyle Clark ignored
a plea via email from Cindy Romero, our guest in
(16:25):
the next segment.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
She went to him because she was a big fan
of nine News.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
She was a Democrat, and Kyle Clark was the star
of that television station, which is going to be acquired
by the group that owns Fox thirty one. That might
be interesting for Kyle Clark's future. We'll just kind of
keep tabs on that. However, the email that Cindy Romero
sent was pleading for nine News to cover the fact
(16:53):
that her cameras installed outside her apartment at edge of
Lowry in Aurora, were capturing image of trendy I Ragwa
gang members who were heavily armed, who were commandeering the
building and units within it, who were kicking out regular
lease paying residents from it, and we're using that premises
(17:14):
to run guns and drugs and women. He ignored her.
I've called him out several times. I would encourage you
to do the same, peacefully, not fiery, but mostly peaceful.
Entirely peacefully, and see if you get an answer, because
he won't answer me every time. He kind of pops
off here on X. He hasn't blocked me yet, which
is probably in his best interest because I'm just gonna
(17:36):
put him on blast. He did not respond to Cidney Ramero.
He does not deny responding to Sidney Romero. He's constantly
thirsting after Representative Lauren Bolbert for a one on one interview.
Speaker 2 (17:46):
She won't grant it to him. She finds him kind
of creepy and weird.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
And then you hear stories from Danielle Jirinsky, from Brandy
Bradley and Heidi Ganall.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Kyle Clark has a conservative woman problem.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
I'd like to help him, but I don't think I
can cidy Rameril next on Ryan Schuling.
Speaker 5 (18:02):
Life long undercover operation here in Colorado, and this case
tells the story of illegal weapons, drugs and violence and
a warning some details are disturbing.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
You're in this investigation.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
The ATF undercover agents met individuals that that compared murder
to playing games such as golf. These same individuals described
to our undercover agents that not only would they commit murder,
but they would bring heads of their victims back for
additional compensation.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
In total, thirty people were indicted, including three leaders of TDA,
one in the US two in Columbia. Charges include murder
for hire, firearms trafficking, and drug distribution agencies sixty nine
firearms through the course of the investigation and the case
began nearly ten months ago after a rise of violent
crime in Colorado. US Attorney four call Colorado Peter mcneiely
(19:01):
said some of the defendants who offered to carry out
murders were the same individuals committing crimes in Aurora apartment complexes. Now,
this is one of several properties in Aurora where multiple
crimes have been reported, including incidents just this summer.
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Aurora police say TDA first.
Speaker 5 (19:18):
Targeted the city back in late twenty twenty three, choosing
locations with little law enforcement presence and minimal oversight from
property management. McNeely warns the threat from TDA remains, but
efforts to disrupt the gang are ongoing.
Speaker 7 (19:32):
I have a message specifically for TDA. We will not
let you use Colorado as your headquarters in the United States.
If you bring your dangerous crimes to Colorado, we will
hunt you down, and we will bring you to justice,
and we will go anywhere in the world in pursuit of.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
You, an ATF agent say. Even though Colorado is considered
the hub for TDA gang activity, this investigation also involves
cities like Miami, at Chicago and Kansas.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
City, Colorado, Colorado the hub of TDA activity.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Who at a thunkket right.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
A pro tip on the production side. I talked about
this with Zach during the last hour one. Never do
your live stand up on television where there are jackhammers
being used in the background. That's point one point two.
Back in the production truck or the station wherever this
is going on. When she tosses to a clip, turn
her audio down. We don't need her ambient sound underneath
(20:27):
the clips that she's tossing to Little pro Field Production
News one on one there, Kelly Coulcare is back. Kelly,
I want to task you with something because I want
to make sure that I'm right on this.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
But I think that I am.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
So on the invite I sent you and Zach for
our next guest, I included the link to the Denver
Post article that talked about these trend'a Ragua arrests eight
of them total. Out of thirty who were charged, three
of them were leaders of the gang.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Well, hold on our good.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Friend Shelley Bradbury both the article if you remember her,
she's the one that docks do better Denver.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
No, no, no, I'm trying to be nicer, okay, So.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
She's the one that docks do better Denver. And the
three women that were providing information to the woman who
runs it, but didn't Docks the actual woman running it,
because that person has stayed anonymous.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
Thank god.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
But in Shelly Bradbury's article in the Denver Post about
this very story that you just heard the reporter that
you heard in the field, I distinctly recall her saying
Aurora more than once in the Denver Post article what
I saw, what I remember, and I could be wrong,
and please correct me if I am. I saw a
Metro Denver and Aurora was not mentioned once. I am,
(21:45):
Will you go.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
Back and check that for me, because I hate to
put that out there and have it not be right.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Somebody okay, well, somebody that I know called past tense
Aurora home is our next guest and she is a hero.
Cindy Romero, along with her husband Ed, they set up
cameras outside their apartment because nobody was listening to them,
including their rora PD at that time. Now, talking about
Chief Chamberlain, he's done a good job, but he's got
a heavy lift. The preceding chiefs were downplaying this held
(22:13):
a public press conference denying it was happening at all.
Governor Jared Polis called all of these accusations a feature
of Daniell Jorreinsky's imagination. And as I mentioned the previous segment,
Kyle Clark, lead anchor nine News, top rated news program
and station in the market Denver Boulder, did not respond
to email queries from Cindy Romero, and she joins US
(22:35):
Now and Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Cindy, do I have that right?
Speaker 3 (22:37):
And we go back in time and you initially sent
that email to Kyle Clark.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
You never got a response and still have it to
this day. True, never at all.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Yeah, thank you so much for having me Ryan. That's
absolutely correct. I reached out to him first, and he
still has yet to respond to me.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Oh, you still got a chance to do it, and
let us know if he does.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
Now what you just heard in that report, Cindy, remember
talking about that with you, chapter in verse almost to
the letter of what was just described. You saw it firsthand,
going on how long ago.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
August?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
It was a year yesterday, actually a year yesterday from
the video. But there were several crimes that I reported
before then, and it's all coming around now now they're
getting ready to go to try and they're getting ready
to go to court, and they're going to finally prosecute
some of these people.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Why did it take so long? And why?
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I mean, obviously it's the Trump administration that's making this
a priority and by doing so, basically proving everyone who
was on the inside. Correct yourself, Danielle Driinski, John Fabrigatory,
those of us who had those conversations with you, Do
you feel vindicated at all?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Does this mean anything to you At this.
Speaker 8 (23:50):
Point, I feel vindicated. The vindication started a couple months
back when I actually seen changes starting to happen in
a rod and lots and lots of reports of my
neighborhood watch friends in Aurora, in my old neighborhood saying
that they haven't heard gunshots in months. So it makes
me feel very vindicated. I do feel bad for all
(24:14):
the victims that have continued to go on while they
were sticking to this narrative that it was just a handful.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
And that current police chief and Aurora's Todd Chamberlain, and
in our previous hour Daniell Jerinsky of Aurora City Council
gave him very high marks and rave reviews. So we're
open to having the chief join us on this program.
We'd love to talk to him about this and this
success which was manifested and aided you have to think
by Aurora PD cooperating with federal officials. And it wasn't
(24:43):
just Ice, it was Dea, it was ATF that was
involved in this big bust of sixty nine firearms, various
drugs like cocaine and meth. We're talking hard drugs here,
trendy or Ragwag gang members. It had everything Unke Stefan,
the old Bill Hayes, your character on Saturday Night Live
Weekend Up.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
They could have everything.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
So Cindy, as you recall it, dealing with a lot
of the and I'm talking gang members you were interacting with,
speaking with in Spanish, negotiating with, providing them with things
like blankets and food, etc. To kind of broker a
deal with them to leave you alone. As you think
back to your time there, as horrific as it was,
now we know that they were running guns and drugs
(25:25):
and that's part of the bust. Were they also running
women prostitution?
Speaker 8 (25:30):
Yes, women prostitution and it was out in the open.
They didn't try to hide it. If they knew I
had cameras, they didn't.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Try to hide it.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
And I feel so in a unique position to where
I could give the police all these videos. I gave
them a year and a half worth of videos, and
now they're able to use those videos to compile reco
cases against these individuals.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
At what point, Cindy, as you think back with you
and your husband Ed and what you encountered and what
you experienced, at what point were you most in fear
for your own personal safety.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
The weeks leading up to the August eighteenth shooting of
my friend never weeks we were terrified. We could not sleep.
There was no end to the harassment and the destruction
of the property, and the torture and the noise and
the fighting. There was just no end to it. The
weeks before the actual shooting, we knew that we had
(26:31):
to get out.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
Unfortunately, we went to.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
Many many different new apartments, probably one of them being
the Ivy Crossing actually and See to Run and others
that have been exposed.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
As being harboring gang members.
Speaker 8 (26:47):
We went to several of them looking for another place
to live. So we knew the gang members were there,
and we reported that to the police. Well before you
know the famous video.
Speaker 2 (26:58):
The one that went viral, Cindy Romero our guest.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
You can follow her on ex at e NC two
six six. That is her handle on X That's the
real hur I've interacted with her. She's the real deal.
I want to go back to this portion of the
ending of this package from Fox News and just put
this in perspective, the scope.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
And the scale of this.
Speaker 7 (27:17):
We will not let you use Colorado as your headquarters
in the United States, if you bring your dangerous crimes
to Colorado, we will hunt you down, and we will
bring you to justice, and we will go anywhere in
the world.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
In pursuit of you.
Speaker 5 (27:31):
An ATF agent say, even though Colorado is considered the
hub for TDA gang activity, this investigation also involves cities
like Miami, at Chicago, and Kansas City.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
If you had presented me with a multiple choice quiz,
and this was a question, and one of these four
cities was the hub of trendy or ragua gang activity
for the entire country, and my multiple choice selections were Chicago, Miami,
Kansas City, and Aurora.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I don't know that Aurora would have been my third guest.
It might have been my last guest.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
So, Cindy, as best as you can explain it, how
did it happen here?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Why did it happen here?
Speaker 8 (28:14):
Well, Todd Chamberlin actually came forward and said, one of
the main reasons is lack of police interactions. They knew
that the police were not responding to calls. They knew
that I would call the police repeatedly and they wouldn't
show up, So why wouldn't they They had already ran
off the manager of the apartments with from attacking them.
(28:38):
They had already put them in the hospital and run
them off the property. Why wouldn't they dig in and
decide to make Aurora their home?
Speaker 9 (28:45):
And it wasn't until the current Trump administration.
Speaker 8 (28:48):
Started coming in that they actually started making it a priority.
Once the video went viral, they could hardly deny it.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
You know, I think of all the pop culture like
Miami Vice and the movie Scarface, and that's South Florida,
that's Miami.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
The whole show was based on that.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
We don't have a show like that based in Aurora.
But I guess Cindy, we should. Well.
Speaker 8 (29:12):
I feel like the Democratic leaders in Aurora and Denver,
especially Denver had all these homeless illegal immigrants, and what
they did was they pushed them out to the surrounding
county and they bust them in and they dropped them
off and they were able to get gain a toe
hold that way.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Well, we're happy to report that Cindy is into a
new job and her husband ed doing well as well.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
They've relocated.
Speaker 3 (29:38):
I won't say where, but Cindy, I hope you feel
a lot safer where you are right now.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
I do, I do I feel much safer, and I
feel like we should all feel a little bit safer. However,
I agree with them in the ats, and there is
so much more to be done, so much more. It
is not just Aurora anymore, it's everywhere.
Speaker 3 (30:00):
Cindy Reynold was on the front lines as she was
brave enough to speak out, and she got to meet
President Trump when he came to Aurora during last presidential cycle.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
Sindy, thank you so much for your time. We'll talk
again soon anytime.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
Ryan, thank you for having me.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
All right, Cindy Romero.
Speaker 3 (30:15):
Right there, we're closing out a brand new fill in
guest for Dan Caplis.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I'll give you three guesses, but.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
Not a fourth where you turn after this on Ryan
Shielding Life texted five seven seven three nine, including this one.
Leave it to Alexa to provide the perfect segue looking
forward to doctor Dunn. Well, I've got some good news
for you, Alexa, and for everybody else out there. I'm
(30:41):
gonna be handing off the baton to doctor Matt Dunn.
And he is in studio with me right now making
his Dan Kaplis fill in premiere debut.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
All of those things we rolled out the red carpet,
Doctor Dunn.
Speaker 9 (30:52):
Welcome, Yeah, appreciate that red carpet. I'm feeling extraordinarily welcome.
I'm wanted to find my way in and like where
to park and all that. But once you think of
the red Room, a lot of people get freaked out
by that. It's very slick, very fancy. Around here called
it the shrine aggressive, the shining.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Room, like when the blood comes down from the elevators
and the twins and all that, and it's just kind
of it freaks me out every time I'm in there. So,
doctor Dunn, for our audience members that might be hearing
you for the first time, how would you introduce yourself
to our audience.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Well, I would say I'm just sort of some dude who.
Speaker 9 (31:24):
Grew up right around here, Terry Creek High School grad,
and I practice dentistry actually not too far from here,
Dennis down in Centennial Area. I've got four little kiddos
and I have a mini van, and so when I'm
not practicing dentistry or get a chance to come in
and fill in for my good friend. I'm a big
(31:45):
fan of Dan Kaplis.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
You know, I'm loading them up in the minivan.
Speaker 9 (31:49):
I'm going to swim practice, soccer practice, piano recitals, field hockey,
choir practices.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
That's sort of what I do all the time. Has
Stephan Hubbs changed his dunists to you? Because what an
upgrade that would be, if you know what I mean?
Speaker 9 (32:06):
Should I say no comment on that one longtime friend,
the Stephen Tubbs.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
I'll tell you he was in here yesterday. I believe
he was on the show. Yeah, okay, yes, couldn't track
him down in person. See you came in person and
we got to get stuff and to do that sometime soon.
Speaker 9 (32:22):
Personal appearance, that's you know, just yeah, I've got an
edge on mister Tubbs this day.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
I love it. And you could follow him and his
entire apparatus. I call it at Backbone Radio, right, And
what is what is backbone Radio?
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Yep?
Speaker 9 (32:34):
There's a program called Backbone Radio that I was the
host of for many a year in the Denver metro
area and somehow fell into that kind of as a
hobby and it went on for technically twenty years and
it was a Sunday program. And I did conclude that
(32:55):
program last year, last summer, so exactly a year ago.
Since I've been sitting behind a microphone, blabbing away about anything, bloviating,
and I think I think that's been much appreciated in
the Denver metro areaal that I have sort of.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Not been around. No, we got to reprise you. We
got to have like zombie backbone radio and bring it back.
Speaker 9 (33:14):
Man.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
That's today, right, yeah, right here, right now.
Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah, what do you plan on discussing with the people
at large today?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Well, I hadn't really thought about it.
Speaker 9 (33:23):
Yeah, I figured out figure something to talk about, but
I want to hit kind of the big stuff, you know,
Ukraine tariffs and the.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Rest of it.
Speaker 9 (33:31):
But I was struck by You're talking about James Komy
being a swifty and I had not heard that. I
get in the car, I turn you on and oh god,
I was like, that sounds like James Comy and sure enough,
and it made me think, what is going on with
James Komy that he would want to try to latch
on to Taylor Swift to try to save his bacon
(33:53):
in some way?
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Do you get the sense that he's feeling.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
Worried about something, maybe a little desperate about something. Till
see Gabbard really and all the stuff. The DNI releasing
some materials on Russia, Russia, Russia, Gates. It makes me
wonder if Komy is concerned about something and wants to
I would say, cynically latch on too Taylor Swift to
try to like get his pr up in some way
(34:16):
with a certain community.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Well, if he is a Swift, he should know better
than to try to tangle Travis Kelcey.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
So I don't like his chances in that.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Matchup, But I do like Doctor Dunn's chances of filling
in for Dan Caplis because he's gonna do it whether
you're ready or not. Stay tuned for that coming up next.
That'll do it for me. From here for now, I'll
talk to you tomorrow. Right here, I'm Ryan Schruling Live
