Speaker 1 (00:00):
Book.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
Nobody likes Democrats anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We have no voters left because of all of our
woke trans bullship. Not even black people want to vote
for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need
new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens
free healthcare, we might be able to get them on
our side so they can vote for us.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
They can't even speak English.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke
pieces of shit, you know, at least for a while
until they learn English and they realize they hate us too.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This is all part of a video meme. Obviously.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's artificial intelligence representing Chuck Schumer's voice. And you heard
the music the mariachi band in the background. What was
featured was minority leader in the House, hockeym Jeffreys in
a sombrero. Check out the kid and this sombrero Steve
and a mustache. And this, of course not only drew
the ire of Democrats in the left, but they lost
their minds. It's just like John Fetterman warned them, we
(00:58):
can't be like cats with the red laser and react
to everything Trump says and does, but they do they
can't help themselves. That's part of Trump arrangement syndrome, and
that was on full display for Araqeen Jeffries here appearing
with Stop the Hammering Laurence O'Donell on MSNBC.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Leading a lot for our discussion tonight.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Is House Democratic Leader Chris from King Jeffries of New York.
Thank you very much for joining us tonight, mister leader.
And I'm not showing this video that Donald Trump put
out about you and Chuck Schumer today, This fake video.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
People are going to see it.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
They'll they'll see it another way, and that shows it's
easy to find. But it is absolutely disgusting in every way.
It is a lie. It's the man you met with
has not lied about what you said after that meeting.
Could you give us your reaction to that Trump posted
video tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
This should be good.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
It's a disgusting video, and we're going to continue to
make clear bigotry will get you no way. How's that
big A Fighting to protect the health care of the
American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault
on all the things Medicaid, Medicare, Affordable Care Act, Republicans
are closing our hospitals, nursing homes, and community based health clinics,
(02:15):
and have effectively shut down medical research in the United.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
States of America.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Clearly, Donald Trump and Republicans know that they have a
very weak position because they are hurting everyday Americans while
continuing to reward their billionaire donors, just like they did
in that one big ugly bill with.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Massive tax breaks.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Democrats are united in the House and the Senate, and
the point that we've made will continue to be clear.
We are fighting to lower the high costs of health care,
prevent these dramatically increased premiums, copays, and deductibles that will
take place in a matter of days unless Republicans are
willing to act in terms of renewing the Affordable Care tax.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Credits for illegal aliens, leaving that part out now.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
VP of Vance points this out in this comment.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
In the One Big Beautiful Bill, President Trump and congressional
Republicans turned off that money to healthcare funding for illegal aliens.
The Democrats want to turn it back on and in
their initial proposal, the first thing that they put out
to reopen the government, they actually turned that money for
healthcare benefits for illegal aliens back on.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So it's not something that we made up.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
It's not a talking point.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
It is in the text of the bill that they
initially gave to us to reopen the government. It's preposterous
for them to run away from it now. But look,
let's set that all to the side. Let's open up
the government. Let's negotiate on all these healthcare policy issues.
Obviously we're not going to support healthcare benefits for illegal aliens, Nope.
But we will work with them to lower healthcare costs
(03:50):
for American citizens if they're willing.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
To do so, and they are not, at least to
this point. Vice President of Vance then in a press
conference was asked about the sombrero.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Means will they stop? Well, they just stop.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
The President's been posting some images of Leader Jeffees and
Sandra Schumer.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
You've said that you're interested in good faith negotiations with.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
These leaders, But you know what message does that sound?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Is it helpful just.
Speaker 9 (04:13):
To post pictures of Leader Jeffvies and the sombrero if
you're trying to have quick faith talks to him?
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Oh, I think it's funny. The President's joking and we're
having a good time.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You can negotiate in.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Good faith while also poking a little bit of fun
at some of the absurdities of the Democrats' positions, and
even you know, poking some fun at the absurdity of
the Democrats themselves. I mean, I'll tell Hakeem Jeffries right now,
I make this solemn promise to you that if you
help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I talk to the.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
President of the United States about that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's this simple.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
One side has a sense of humor, including about themselves.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Have you ever seen.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Jd Vance post the meme where he's this bald headed
guy with the small facial features and they're I dothnically
land It's it's hilarious, and he uses it himself.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And Donald Trump knows that. You know, he's kind of
a performer. He's p T.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Barnes of our time. And we know that the Left,
though they don't have a sense of humor about themselves. Luckily,
Steven L. Miller has a great sense of humor. He
joins Us now host of the Versus Media podcast. You
can find that online through his substack, and also follow
him on x follow him to freedom at red Stea's
he joined us in Ryan Schuling Live Stephen, welcome back.
Speaker 9 (05:21):
Would just want to issue the correction that the name
of the jd Vance memes are titled Rare Dvances. So
you can go look those up on Google and you
will see about five thousand different rare vance memes.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Rare Advance. Where did that name come from?
Speaker 9 (05:37):
It's kind of stooped in internet lore and internet culture
and you know forums and stuff like that. That's so
the idea is that you're collecting rare trading cards.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
It's sort of like making.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
Fun of NFTs and so, yes, I'm sure you're very
engaged four chan like redded audience will understand that.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Okay, rare vance memes, collect.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Them all, Hasbro, there's a lot of them, Stephen. Just
to encapsulate what we're hearing here, the righteous anger and
moral outrage of the left at these means that they
are racist, They are a form of bigotry, and that
only welcomes and encourages and invites more of them.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
Yeah, even at Kaitlin Collins from CNN kind of complaining that,
you know, I can't believe they're doubling down on this after.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
We criticize them, And I mean, I think you know me.
Speaker 9 (06:30):
Well enough to think I'm not a fan of the
President of the United States doing this kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Night.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
I kind of still believe in decorum. I also think
we're long past that point. And so to hear the
media bemoan that you know, the president is doubling down. Yeah,
that's kind of what happened when you accuse the last
nice guy to run for president, Romney.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Of like killing his dog.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
Okay, and so this idea that.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
You ten years in haven't learned the fact that Donald
Trump likes to double down once you express your anger
or frustration at him, to show you that they hadn't
learned very much. This is probably the first time in
my adult life where the media and the Democrat Party
had really lost the plot on.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
A government shutdown.
Speaker 9 (07:12):
They're not pinning this on the Republicans, but it's kind
of crazy. Every times like this happens, it's depend on
the political rights and on the Republicans. They're called hostage takers,
and they really are kind of out in left field
right now. They don't really know how to out crazy
or you know, I should say moderate, like you said
with Fetterman their positions. They're still here out here trying
(07:34):
to out praising the crazy guy in the Oval office,
and it's just making them increasingly unpopular.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Steven el Miller, our guest at Redste's on X, one
of the most critical eyes when it comes to social
commentary and the performance, and that word is stressed by
our mainstream media host of the Versus Media podcast. Now again,
they're taking these kind of niche positions, Steven. On so
many issues, it's as if they're only having conversations in
(08:01):
the high class coffee cafes of liberal coastal elite cities,
and they're hearing what each other's saying, and they agree
with one another, and they wouldn't think to question one another.
And why I bring this up is because you know,
it pains me to say. At one point, very early
in my career, I worked overnights at CMU Public Radio
part of NPR in Central Michigan University, and I was
(08:24):
proud of that. I enjoyed that, I enjoyed the people
that I worked with, and part of that funding came
from the federal government, and part of it came from
listeners like you on WCMU Public Radio. Eighty nine point
five FM, and now the federal funding has been removed.
This has been a Trump executive order, and it appears
that PBSNPR they don't know quite how to navigate these waters.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
They've never been forced to do so before.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But what's your take real quick on that and where
it goes from here for public broadcasting.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
I think it will be a great day in this
country when our public schools have all the money that
they need and NPR will have to hold a bake sale.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I mean, these outlets.
Speaker 9 (09:05):
You know what's so funny is they're kind of using
the same excuse that for funding healthcare for you know,
illegal migrants that they did for NPR. It's it's only
you know, it's only a fraction of the money then,
in which case, then why are you fighting so hard
for it? These are outlets PBS and NPR. They have large,
blantic donors, they have people like Mackenzie Bezos throwing millions
(09:30):
of dollars at them. They don't really need the small
federal funding. And I kind of find myself maybe in
a small minority where I do like NPR. I do
listen to it despite the craziness. But that's kind of also,
my job is to bathe in the craziness. And I
think if we had actual down the line news that
is publicly funded, that doesn't veer one way or the other.
(09:53):
As I know what a kind of fantastical idea that is,
I don't think people would be opposed to funding it.
And I'm, you know, one of these small d libertarian,
classical liberal types that hates any kind of government.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
But the fact is it hasn't become that.
Speaker 9 (10:06):
It's become a propaganda outlet for progressive last of the
Democratic Party, which is why they're throwing a hissy fit
every time it gets taken off the air, similar to
Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel. And so this is kind of where,
you know, people see this, and you know, you go
and you turn.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
On NPR, and within ten minutes you're hearing something.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
About racial injustice as opposed to the climate of aborigine
species of birds in some third world country, and people
just don't have a use for that anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Steven L.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Miller read STS on X, host of the Versus Media podcasts,
and it's fascinating to watch all this playout in real time.
I mean, the moral of this story and really the
theme is Donald Trump is an effective troller. The response
to that is always weak and muted. It invites more
of it, and it doesn't really affect Donald Trump himself. Now,
there was a similar kind of TATA day, Steven that
(10:57):
you're very familiar with, and you just mentioned it. Jimmy
Kimmel on his own airwaves, showing emotion, but only when
it was his show that was threatened. And then he
kind of came forward and said, I never meant to
say what I said, but I didn't say it.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
But he did say it. We heard what he said.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He tried to blame MAGA for the shooter himself, taking
out Charlie Kirk and absolved the Left of any blame
for that. He endured a suspension the next star. The
Saint Clair stations pulled their affiliates from airing his show.
Then he was put back on and he received record
ratings on that one night where he had a chance
to apologize, to make amends. Maybe he talks directly to
(11:30):
Erica Kirk and make it good and maybe bring some
of us, you me listeners to this show back in
the fold and go, you know what, maybe Jimmy's going
to call more balls and strikes. Here, we can watch
a show, we can enjoy it. We can know he's
gonna maybe play things a little bit more. Even Keel,
that was not gonna happen. We never anticipated that it would,
and now we've seen his ratings predictably drop off from that.
(11:51):
Is there any long standing, long term effect that will
remain in place from this whole dust up involving Jimmy
Kimmel or will he just receive back into irrelevance.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
I think he's seeing back to his normal audience.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
To tell in all of this is yeah, he's since
has kind of come back. It was failed as one
of the most important moments in media in this nation's history.
I think that's a direct quote from Sena and brand
Selter is that he's now lost something like thirty seven
to forty percent of that audience. So everyone just went
back to normal, right. And what's interesting is even the
people pushing him in media aren't talking about him anymore.
(12:26):
The CNNs have stopped kind of talking about him.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
He was on.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Stephen Colbert's show. He's in New York, Kindles in New
York for a week, like he does every year. He's
on Stephen Colbert's show, and that became late night group
therapy for Lib's inception, where they just basically hugged.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Each other and had a good cry. And again this
kind of goes back.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
To the idea of I don't know who the audience
for this is anymore. People have, you know, decidedly said
we're part of its tuning out because we have other
options to look at stuff late at night. We don't
have to go see our latest celebrity promoting their film.
Instead we get a political left sure, and there just
really isn't an audience for it. Sponsors are tired of it,
(13:04):
which is why Stephen Colbert is off the air. Although
I do have to say I am really anxious to
see Stephen Colbert wax on about his new boss at
CBS News, Barry Weiss, tonight.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I was just going to go there and Steven, per usual,
provides me with the perfect segue. And we've heard this
from the left in a particular David Letterman, and he
might not be entirely wrong that there's a merger that's
going to happen that paramount CBS. They want to make
sure it goes smoothly. And now they've acquired Free Press
run by Barry Weiss and her news standing with CBS News.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
What I saw in just a.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Clip here is that Scott Pelly of sixty Minutes is
sitting down with witnesses to the Charlie Kirk assassination. I
found that to be interesting from an editorial standpoint or
decision that they've made. But what does Barry Weiss represent,
Stephen And already you've already quot tweeted one of these.
The left is up in arms about it and needs
to be fitted for a straight jacket.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
Yeah, I mean Barry Weiss for your audience that doesn't
really know her, she's kind of a moderate liberal.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
She was kind of chased out of The New York.
Speaker 9 (14:06):
Times for just having contradictory opinions around things like the
EI of things like the Floyd Bryants, around things like COVID.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Also Jewish things became.
Speaker 9 (14:15):
A problem at the New York Times for her, and
so she went over to Substack and she built an
outlok called The Free Press, which became pretty much one
of the most powerful and popular out independent media outlets
that really launched Substack.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
And the interesting thing about that.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
Is all of these journalists that have been leaving corporate media.
The Jim Acostas, the Terry Moranz, the Chuck Todd's and
Jennifer Rubens. They're all following the model of someone they hate.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
In Barry White.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
And what I think is interesting is, yeah, she's just
been named editor in chief of CBS News starting Monday,
so they have a couple of days to clean out.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Their desks before they freak out.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
I think it's interesting she's going back to a corporate
media model that she herself made pretty obsolete.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
I think she views this as a challenge.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
To kind of try to rehab corporate media and try
to make it relevant again. There's obviously the dollar sign
of that the Ellison purchased for about what around.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
What's being reported one hundred and fifty millions, So.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
Of course there's that aspect of it, but the fact
that she's returning to a format of corporate news that
seems pretty obsolete in today's just instant streaming media and
independent media model. I myself, I'm on SUBSEAC. I think
it's really going to be interesting to watch. And while
I don't always agree with everything that Barry Rice or
(15:31):
her team at the Free Past Best Rights or produces.
She will be responsible. And so it's not really about
pro Trump, anti Trump, pro left anti left.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It's about are.
Speaker 9 (15:42):
We going to be responsible journalists and follow facts and
stories no matter who it favors or disfavors. And so
that's what's going to be really interesting to watch among
who decides to flame out at CBS because they can't
stand the idea of working for, seriously, one of the
most moderate, boring people in all of media.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
They can't stand it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
They can't assum they've never been forced to, and now
that they're may be in that box, they want to
escape it.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Steven L.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Miller, our guests, you talk about journalistic responsibility and this
just happening a very serious subject from Disclosed TV that
you quote tweeted here Steven UK's counter terrorism Police named
Manchester synagogue attacker as Jihad al Shaeney, a thirty five
year old UK citizen of Syrian descent. Now you have
(16:26):
a still shot here in your quote tweet that says, Okay, guys,
how are we going to spend that his name is
literally Jihad?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Pitch your ideas first? What is that still from?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I see Roger Sterling from Madman fame and how will
they spend this.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
That's from Spotlet's from the movie Spotlight, which was again
a Best Picture winner, about how brave and great our journalists.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Are, and that's kind of a dig I.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
Very much enjoyed the film Spotlight, but it's the idea that,
you know, how how are we going to figure out
to not pin this on clearly, what is radical immigration
policies coming to the UK.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I'm not one of these immigration hawks.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
I generally believe if people are truly trying to escape
a bad place, so we should give them the option.
That's not seeming there's no assimilation happening with that. This
would be like if one of if one of the
hijackers full of plane into the World Trade Center, if
his name was nine to eleven. And so it's going
to be kind of funny to watch how our media
(17:22):
spins this. Maybe they'll just say, hey, he was having
a spiritual struggle, like we heard from the mayor of
New York City. We've already seen him. Just blame this
on Benjamin Nett and Yahood, which is kind of their
their playbook.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Maybe they'll blame jk.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
Rowling on this planet. I don't know, but it is.
Every time they try to get you know, the media
and especially BBC style medium Sky News try to spin
this anything that it is. It's going to be real
hard to get around the fact the guy's name is
literally Jihad and it.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
All comes back to JK Rowling sitting lely enough. Steven L.
Miller eloquent in his pros.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You can follow him on x at red Ste's and
be sure to listen to his podcast, The Versus Media
Podcasts on his sub stack from there as well.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Steven great stuff is always. Thank you as always for
your time.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Thanks Ryan anytime.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
All right, Steven ELM. Miller makes his home right here
in Colorado. Proud home, Steven L.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Miller.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Get your tax five seven seven three nine. Ryan, you
were not just born with the Y chromosome. You were
conceived and created with the Y chromosome. You had that
immutable trait before you were born. You were correct, Texter.
But I certainly had it when I was born, and
that's the point I was making with Zach and myself.
And it can't be changed, it can't be erased. It
can't be undone either can this show. So we'll try
(18:39):
to get it right when we come back more, Ryan Schuling,
Live Lord Almighty. So no matter which of those two
it was, it was before Zach it was BZ.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Time measurement. How many of the Spice girls can you name?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Zach?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Go what there's scary? Sporty?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Posh?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, isn't Ginger one my favorite? Oh yeah? I think
that's all I got?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Jerry Hallowell Mio and Baby Baby I should have gotten
that one.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
You got.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
You got eighty percent of them, though, and I think
you got the more difficult ones first that the oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That one Posh is the one I think, Oh yeah,
did you have a favorite Spice girl?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Young?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I don't even know which is I know the names,
but like if you showed me faces, I could not
match match the two.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's definitely Ginger for me.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
And that is in conflict with my Gilligan's Island take,
which I think as a younger, more impressionable boy who
knew nothing of women or the ways of women, still
down by the way, but even more so. Back then,
Ginger was the flashier one.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
But then as you got to kind of watch.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
The series and Don Wells, I'm telling you, Mary Ann
John and I have had entire segments dedicated.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
To this topic. This and uh in Star Trek and
the Beatles.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I missed, I miss John Caldera Independence Institute, so I'll
have to settle for the next best thing. And I
mean that like silver medal. Jimmy Sangenberger short only to
John Caldera, he of the Gazette. Jimmy Sangenberger and folks,
You're going to be shocked, shocked to learn that there
(20:29):
is another controversy coming out of the jeff Co Public schools.
I know, I was just as surprised as you were.
This is a buy the book public school district. Nothing
normally goes awry or off kilter or off the rails,
and the jeff Co Public Skuy.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You know about it. I can't even keep up the
lie anymore. Jimmy. Welcome to Ryan Schuling Life.
Speaker 10 (20:49):
Ryan. I'm glad that instead of all a's, all the
time for Caldera, you have all e's, all the time
for Sangenburger today. Brother, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You know I love that you can observe.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
That's a very cogent observation, as is the title of
your article. Lakewood's shady school deal gets even shadier. Jimmy,
how shady.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
Did it get a shady business going on? Lakewood and Jeffco.
I wrote about this last week and I'm glad to
talk with you about it because there's not enough awareness.
So a few years ago Jeffco Schools put up for
sale well closed and therefore would put up for sale
several schools, including Emery Elementary School, which is located in Lakewood. Now,
(21:36):
the valuation of that school, at least according to the
county assessor in Jeffco, is twelve million dollars. That includes
just shy of a million dollars worth for the land
itself and then of course the rest for the school.
And you know, when you do a market sale, you
never know how much of the value you're actually going
(21:58):
to get for something like that. Normally, you would put
it out for private bidding or public bidding, where basically
you can have cities, you can have private developers what
have you, go ahead and place their bids on the
property when it's put up for sale. Well, instead, what
Jeffco's Schools did was an early last year create a
(22:21):
process called the Municipal Interest process, which simply put bypasses
public bidding, open bidding, and the municipality in this case,
Lakewood gets first and only DIDs on the property.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
And guess what.
Speaker 10 (22:38):
They reached a deal, that tentative deal expected to close
in December, for only four million dollars from Lakewood to
the district. That is a third of what the potential
market value is for the property. The city of Lakewood
spends four million dollars and then they're turning that around
(22:59):
and for one million dollars they are selling the building
and surrounding parking lots. So that means most of that
property ten acres of seventeen acres to a homeless focused
nonprofit called the Action Center for just one million dollars. Again,
twelve million value that potentially the district could get, ultimately
(23:23):
getting passed through Lakewood to a nonprofit for a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Now, my next question I think is a fairly obvious one, Jimmy,
and that is that they think they could get away
with this, I know, hold the laugh track there, and
that a reporter I don't know, like Jimmy Sangingberger from
the Gazette would not find out about it.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
I think they still expect to get away with it,
and I think they probably will get away with it.
But the public needs to have a say and keep
in mind that, yeah, there is the school board elections
coming up. There are Lakewood municipal elections coming up. Like
in the next couple of weeks, you will start getting
balls in your inbox, in your mailbox for you to
(24:04):
cast your local votes. You need to keep that in mind.
Let folks know about this if you're in Lakewood, if
you're in Jeffco schools, because this just keeps getting shadier.
And to add even more to this, Ryan too little points.
Emory Elementary School is in a neighborhood and that's where
they want to set up this nonprofit. And the Action
(24:25):
Center's been around since I think the nineteen sixties, so
it's a long standing institution in Jeffco. It's got two
existing buildings that they own at fourteenth and Colfax, and
the city is going to buy those buildings from the
Action Center and leads them to the Action Center tending
(24:47):
when the Action Center that's the nonprofit, can move into
Emory Elementary School. To just sort of put a pin
on what that means, the district will basically be paying
the Action Center to the property that they're selling to
the Action Center for a million dollars or excuse me,
the city.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
We'll be doing that.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Well, the real make this stuff up.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
No, this is not fabricated fiction, although I think Jimmy Sangenberger,
if challenged to produce that, could do so.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But will the real slim shady please stand up?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
We might not know Lakewood's shady school deal gets even shadier.
That by Jimmy Sangenberger from a week ago in the Gazette. Jimmy,
you work in any stories right now? You got your
press pass, sun you got your Fedora going well.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
I will be doing a follow up. It'll be out
Sunday instead of tomorrow. On this Amy Patten, the DA
in a Rapahoe County not being recalled. No recall paperwork
was turned in with signatures, so that will not happen.
And she seems to be taking.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
A victory lap.
Speaker 10 (25:50):
Yeah, but I don't think she's out of the woods
yet And so that'll be Sunday's upcoming come.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
That is quite a tease.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
And not to mention Jimmy Sangenberger, you can see him
live if your Jimmy Junior Blues band, Jimmy is coming
to Parker tell us.
Speaker 10 (26:04):
More Takota Tavern Tomorrow night from seven thirty to eleven
thirty in Parker. We've been doing gigs that are more
out in dactually coincidentally Jeff co or further up north.
We're playing in wheat Ridge next week if the Birds
from five to eight on that Saturday. But Tomorrow night
(26:24):
we're down south and Parker at Dakota Tavern from seven
thirty to eleven thirty. We're going to have Darren Ron,
who is a multi time Grammy nominated sax player. He's
got a tune that is song that is number thirteen
on the Billboard charts. He's also our friend Priscilla Ron's husband,
that's right, and he's going to be sitting in for
a few tunes tomorrow. And Little Birdie told me you
(26:47):
might be making an appearance to check out the gig tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I might be incognito, but I will be there Jimmy
to support you, because that's how much it means to
me to be there for Jimmy plains harmonica And wait a.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Minute, you just listed four hours.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You guys got a set that will last four hours
or how long of a break's going on?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
What's going on with.
Speaker 10 (27:05):
All that that means we will be playing four sets
over a four hour period. Yes, lots of music. Wow,
we're wrapped up and ready.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
To go bro just like the Rolling Stones coming back
from more Jimmy Sangenberger. Check that out, coming up tomorrow
night in Parker. And oh, by the way, Jimmy, give
the works a look up there in wheat Ridge while
you're there. I'm gonna have the owner on with me
tomorrow talking about kind of a sticky wicket that he
found himself and through no fault of his own. That's
(27:35):
Paul Porter, owner of the works in wheat Ridge. So
just tip the cap there for you to give that
place a look.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
Well, I have to do that, brother, Thank you, all.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Right, Jimmy Sangenberger joining us from the Gazette. I will
see him tomorrow and maybe you will too. Text the
show five seven, seven, three nine. We round it out,
hoping to bring home a Tiger's victory. They had a
big inning while Steven L. Miller was on the air
with me. I will forever refer to him as good Luck,
good Luck Miller. Okay, time out, we're back. Ryan Schuling
Life concludes after this the trifecta of Michael McDonald and
(28:10):
the yacht rock. Let's go to the text five seven
seven three nine, Ryan, my wife has yacht rock as
a preset on her serious. My car doesn't have serious,
Otherwise we would both have it as a preset.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I think you should count this as two votes for David.
I will and I just did. Ryan.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Now that these words have been watered down, tell me
what stings more racist, sexist, Nazi or JK. Rowling's surgical
word smith ory Ooh, what a great question. The takedown
that she had there was so eloquent, so even keeled,
so level headed, so precise, so accurate, not being too verbose,
(28:54):
but just enough to make a little extra point on M. L. Woltson,
think that outweighs any of those pejoratives that you just named. Honestly, now,
let's say eighties nineties. Okay, somebody goes, why and you're racist?
Wait wait a minute, I know I'm not. What are
you talking about? I take that very personally. That's a
very serious accusation, sexist, Nazi.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Any of those that you said, especially the Nazi one,
was like, wait a minut.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
My grandmother's relatives were gassed at concentration camps.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
By Nazi Germany.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So I'm not exactly sympathetic to their cause now or
at any other time in my life or at any
point in the future. The Serbs were considered gypsy, nomadic,
swarthy people. These were my people, my mom's people. Okay,
they were not Aryan at all, and so they were
thrown in the Yugoslavs into the gas chambers and Auschwitz
(29:48):
and Dachau and all that other stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
So yeah, when.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Somebody calls me a Nazi, I just laugh. I mean,
it's it's laughable. It's like they're calling Jewish people Nazis,
and I went, wait, wait minute, that's not possible, at
least be accurate with your historical references Nazis.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It's too clean for them. It's it's too easy, it's
too lazy. That that's all they have. I mean, that's
all they have.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
That's when you know you've won this Texterter says, of course,
Jeff Coo thinks they can get away with it, because
they most likely will. It does nothing in the state
anymore for good reporters to find out about these things,
because nothing usually ends up happening. Well, text he we're
trying to change that. Whether it's Lindsay Datko and jeffco
kids first, and believe me, she's a bur in their saddle.
(30:35):
To put it mildly, she's awesome. Aaron Lee Pooter School District.
The lawsuit that she has filed, that's before the Supreme
Court of the United States for consideration, and they're going
to make that decision. I've been told by Aaron herself
within this next week to see if they're going to
put it on the docket for consideration to be heard
as a case before the Supreme Court of the United States.
(30:58):
So pray for her a little harder, if you would please.
We all should be anyway, because she nearly had her
daughter taken right away from her by the indoctrination of
a so called art club that was a facade for
a LGBTQ indoctrination club. Do you feel insecure in your
own body, twelve year old girl? Well, yeah, doesn't every
(31:19):
twelve year old girl feel insecure in their body?
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Is changing?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Things are happening now, yeah everywhere. If for a guy,
I can tell you it wasn't comfortable, that doesn't mean
we're the opposite gender, you fools. And even if somebody
has gender dysphoria. A vast majority of the time, an
individual either grows out of that or they confront the
fact that maybe they are in fact homosexual, gay, lesbian,
(31:44):
and there's nothing wrong with that, and you don't have
to chop off.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Body parts and you can live your life. And I
think Steven L.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Miller made the point, not in this last appearance today,
but in his previous one, that there's been no better
time in world history than to be a gay person
in the United States of America, Right, Yeah, And he's right, Ryan.
Did you ever in your wildest dreams think we have
a president that wastes time meme tweeting on a regular
basis or creating memes?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I didn't the first time around, and then I learned better,
and that's who he is. They gound or believe it.
You can have fun with it, you can laugh about it.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
And I think I'd rather have a president that uses
humor as his weapon of choice and goes on offense.
How many figurative and literal slings and arrows has Donald
Trump taken in his life over the last ten years,
including a literal bullet to his ear. So if he's
going to fire off a couple of mean tweets and
some hilarious memes.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I'm here for it, and.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I'll stay here for it, and Zach's going to stay
here just for the postgame show. The Good Doctor coming
up next. Matt Dunn filling in for Dan Caflis. You've
been listening to Ryan Schuwing Live. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
Book.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
Guys, there's no way to sugarcoat it.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
Nobody likes Democrats anymore.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We have no voters left because of all of our
woke trans bullship. Not even black people want to vote
for us anymore. Even Latinos hate us. So we need
new voters. And if we give all these illegal aliens
free healthcare, we might be able to get them on
our side so they can vote for us.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
They can't even speak English.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
So they won't realize we're just a bunch of woke
pieces of shit, you know, at least for a while
until they learn English and they realize they hate us too.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
This is all part of a video meme. Obviously.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
That's artificial intelligence representing Chuck Schumer's voice. And you heard
the music the mariachi band in the background. What was
featured was minority leader in the House, hockeym Jeffreys in
a sombrero. Check out the kid and this sombrero Steve
and a mustache. And this, of course not only drew
the ire of Democrats in the left, but they lost
their minds. It's just like John Fetterman warned them, we
(00:58):
can't be like cats with the red laser and react
to everything Trump says and does, but they do they
can't help themselves. That's part of Trump arrangement syndrome, and
that was on full display for Araqeen Jeffries here appearing
with Stop the Hammering Laurence O'Donell on MSNBC.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Leading a lot for our discussion tonight.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Is House Democratic Leader Chris from King Jeffries of New York.
Thank you very much for joining us tonight, mister leader.
And I'm not showing this video that Donald Trump put
out about you and Chuck Schumer today, This fake video.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
People are going to see it.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
They'll they'll see it another way, and that shows it's
easy to find. But it is absolutely disgusting in every way.
It is a lie. It's the man you met with
has not lied about what you said after that meeting.
Could you give us your reaction to that Trump posted
video tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
This should be good.
Speaker 6 (01:52):
It's a disgusting video, and we're going to continue to
make clear bigotry will get you no way. How's that
big A Fighting to protect the health care of the
American people in the face of an unprecedented Republican assault
on all the things Medicaid, Medicare, Affordable Care Act, Republicans
are closing our hospitals, nursing homes, and community based health clinics,
(02:15):
and have effectively shut down medical research in the United.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
States of America.
Speaker 6 (02:21):
Clearly, Donald Trump and Republicans know that they have a
very weak position because they are hurting everyday Americans while
continuing to reward their billionaire donors, just like they did
in that one big ugly bill with.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Massive tax breaks.
Speaker 6 (02:36):
Democrats are united in the House and the Senate, and
the point that we've made will continue to be clear.
We are fighting to lower the high costs of health care,
prevent these dramatically increased premiums, copays, and deductibles that will
take place in a matter of days unless Republicans are
willing to act in terms of renewing the Affordable Care tax.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Credits for illegal aliens, leaving that part out now.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
VP of Vance points this out in this comment.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
In the One Big Beautiful Bill, President Trump and congressional
Republicans turned off that money to healthcare funding for illegal aliens.
The Democrats want to turn it back on and in
their initial proposal, the first thing that they put out
to reopen the government, they actually turned that money for
healthcare benefits for illegal aliens back on.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So it's not something that we made up.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
It's not a talking point.
Speaker 7 (03:30):
It is in the text of the bill that they
initially gave to us to reopen the government. It's preposterous
for them to run away from it now. But look,
let's set that all to the side. Let's open up
the government. Let's negotiate on all these healthcare policy issues.
Obviously we're not going to support healthcare benefits for illegal aliens, Nope.
But we will work with them to lower healthcare costs
(03:50):
for American citizens if they're willing.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
To do so, and they are not, at least to
this point. Vice President of Vance then in a press
conference was asked about the sombrero.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Means will they stop? Well, they just stop.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
The President's been posting some images of Leader Jeffees and
Sandra Schumer.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
You've said that you're interested in good faith negotiations with.
Speaker 8 (04:10):
These leaders, But you know what message does that sound?
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Is it helpful just.
Speaker 9 (04:13):
To post pictures of Leader Jeffvies and the sombrero if
you're trying to have quick faith talks to him?
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Oh, I think it's funny. The President's joking and we're
having a good time.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
You can negotiate in.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
Good faith while also poking a little bit of fun
at some of the absurdities of the Democrats' positions, and
even you know, poking some fun at the absurdity of
the Democrats themselves. I mean, I'll tell Hakeem Jeffries right now,
I make this solemn promise to you that if you
help us reopen the government, the sombrero memes will stop.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
I talk to the.
Speaker 7 (04:40):
President of the United States about that.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's this simple.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
One side has a sense of humor, including about themselves.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Have you ever seen.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Jd Vance post the meme where he's this bald headed
guy with the small facial features and they're I dothnically
land It's it's hilarious, and he uses it himself.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
And Donald Trump knows that. You know, he's kind of
a performer. He's p T.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Barnes of our time. And we know that the Left,
though they don't have a sense of humor about themselves. Luckily,
Steven L. Miller has a great sense of humor. He
joins Us now host of the Versus Media podcast. You
can find that online through his substack, and also follow
him on x follow him to freedom at red Stea's
he joined us in Ryan Schuling Live Stephen, welcome back.
Speaker 9 (05:21):
Would just want to issue the correction that the name
of the jd Vance memes are titled Rare Dvances. So
you can go look those up on Google and you
will see about five thousand different rare vance memes.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Rare Advance. Where did that name come from?
Speaker 9 (05:37):
It's kind of stooped in internet lore and internet culture
and you know forums and stuff like that. That's so
the idea is that you're collecting rare trading cards.
Speaker 8 (05:47):
It's sort of like making.
Speaker 9 (05:48):
Fun of NFTs and so, yes, I'm sure you're very
engaged four chan like redded audience will understand that.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Okay, rare vance memes, collect.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Them all, Hasbro, there's a lot of them, Stephen. Just
to encapsulate what we're hearing here, the righteous anger and
moral outrage of the left at these means that they
are racist, They are a form of bigotry, and that
only welcomes and encourages and invites more of them.
Speaker 9 (06:21):
Yeah, even at Kaitlin Collins from CNN kind of complaining that,
you know, I can't believe they're doubling down on this after.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
We criticize them, And I mean, I think you know me.
Speaker 9 (06:30):
Well enough to think I'm not a fan of the
President of the United States doing this kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
Night.
Speaker 9 (06:34):
I kind of still believe in decorum. I also think
we're long past that point. And so to hear the
media bemoan that you know, the president is doubling down. Yeah,
that's kind of what happened when you accuse the last
nice guy to run for president, Romney.
Speaker 4 (06:49):
Of like killing his dog.
Speaker 8 (06:50):
Okay, and so this idea that.
Speaker 9 (06:54):
You ten years in haven't learned the fact that Donald
Trump likes to double down once you express your anger
or frustration at him, to show you that they hadn't
learned very much. This is probably the first time in
my adult life where the media and the Democrat Party
had really lost the plot on.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
A government shutdown.
Speaker 9 (07:12):
They're not pinning this on the Republicans, but it's kind
of crazy. Every times like this happens, it's depend on
the political rights and on the Republicans. They're called hostage takers,
and they really are kind of out in left field
right now. They don't really know how to out crazy
or you know, I should say moderate, like you said
with Fetterman their positions. They're still here out here trying
(07:34):
to out praising the crazy guy in the Oval office,
and it's just making them increasingly unpopular.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Steven el Miller, our guest at Redste's on X, one
of the most critical eyes when it comes to social
commentary and the performance, and that word is stressed by
our mainstream media host of the Versus Media podcast. Now again,
they're taking these kind of niche positions, Steven. On so
many issues, it's as if they're only having conversations in
(08:01):
the high class coffee cafes of liberal coastal elite cities,
and they're hearing what each other's saying, and they agree
with one another, and they wouldn't think to question one another.
And why I bring this up is because you know,
it pains me to say. At one point, very early
in my career, I worked overnights at CMU Public Radio
part of NPR in Central Michigan University, and I was
(08:24):
proud of that. I enjoyed that, I enjoyed the people
that I worked with, and part of that funding came
from the federal government, and part of it came from
listeners like you on WCMU Public Radio. Eighty nine point
five FM, and now the federal funding has been removed.
This has been a Trump executive order, and it appears
that PBSNPR they don't know quite how to navigate these waters.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
They've never been forced to do so before.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
But what's your take real quick on that and where
it goes from here for public broadcasting.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
I think it will be a great day in this
country when our public schools have all the money that
they need and NPR will have to hold a bake sale.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I mean, these outlets.
Speaker 9 (09:05):
You know what's so funny is they're kind of using
the same excuse that for funding healthcare for you know,
illegal migrants that they did for NPR. It's it's only
you know, it's only a fraction of the money then,
in which case, then why are you fighting so hard
for it? These are outlets PBS and NPR. They have large,
blantic donors, they have people like Mackenzie Bezos throwing millions
(09:30):
of dollars at them. They don't really need the small
federal funding. And I kind of find myself maybe in
a small minority where I do like NPR. I do
listen to it despite the craziness. But that's kind of also,
my job is to bathe in the craziness. And I
think if we had actual down the line news that
is publicly funded, that doesn't veer one way or the other.
(09:53):
As I know what a kind of fantastical idea that is,
I don't think people would be opposed to funding it.
And I'm, you know, one of these small d libertarian,
classical liberal types that hates any kind of government.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
But the fact is it hasn't become that.
Speaker 9 (10:06):
It's become a propaganda outlet for progressive last of the
Democratic Party, which is why they're throwing a hissy fit
every time it gets taken off the air, similar to
Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel. And so this is kind of where,
you know, people see this, and you know, you go
and you turn.
Speaker 4 (10:21):
On NPR, and within ten minutes you're hearing something.
Speaker 9 (10:24):
About racial injustice as opposed to the climate of aborigine
species of birds in some third world country, and people
just don't have a use for that anymore.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Steven L.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Miller read STS on X, host of the Versus Media podcasts,
and it's fascinating to watch all this playout in real time.
I mean, the moral of this story and really the
theme is Donald Trump is an effective troller. The response
to that is always weak and muted. It invites more
of it, and it doesn't really affect Donald Trump himself. Now,
there was a similar kind of TATA day, Steven that
(10:57):
you're very familiar with, and you just mentioned it. Jimmy
Kimmel on his own airwaves, showing emotion, but only when
it was his show that was threatened. And then he
kind of came forward and said, I never meant to
say what I said, but I didn't say it.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
But he did say it. We heard what he said.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He tried to blame MAGA for the shooter himself, taking
out Charlie Kirk and absolved the Left of any blame
for that. He endured a suspension the next star. The
Saint Clair stations pulled their affiliates from airing his show.
Then he was put back on and he received record
ratings on that one night where he had a chance
to apologize, to make amends. Maybe he talks directly to
(11:30):
Erica Kirk and make it good and maybe bring some
of us, you me listeners to this show back in
the fold and go, you know what, maybe Jimmy's going
to call more balls and strikes. Here, we can watch
a show, we can enjoy it. We can know he's
gonna maybe play things a little bit more. Even Keel,
that was not gonna happen. We never anticipated that it would,
and now we've seen his ratings predictably drop off from that.
(11:51):
Is there any long standing, long term effect that will
remain in place from this whole dust up involving Jimmy
Kimmel or will he just receive back into irrelevance.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
I think he's seeing back to his normal audience.
Speaker 9 (12:04):
To tell in all of this is yeah, he's since
has kind of come back. It was failed as one
of the most important moments in media in this nation's history.
I think that's a direct quote from Sena and brand
Selter is that he's now lost something like thirty seven
to forty percent of that audience. So everyone just went
back to normal, right. And what's interesting is even the
people pushing him in media aren't talking about him anymore.
(12:26):
The CNNs have stopped kind of talking about him.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
He was on.
Speaker 9 (12:29):
Stephen Colbert's show. He's in New York, Kindles in New
York for a week, like he does every year. He's
on Stephen Colbert's show, and that became late night group
therapy for Lib's inception, where they just basically hugged.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Each other and had a good cry. And again this
kind of goes back.
Speaker 9 (12:43):
To the idea of I don't know who the audience
for this is anymore. People have, you know, decidedly said
we're part of its tuning out because we have other
options to look at stuff late at night. We don't
have to go see our latest celebrity promoting their film.
Instead we get a political left sure, and there just
really isn't an audience for it. Sponsors are tired of it,
(13:04):
which is why Stephen Colbert is off the air. Although
I do have to say I am really anxious to
see Stephen Colbert wax on about his new boss at
CBS News, Barry Weiss, tonight.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
I was just going to go there and Steven, per usual,
provides me with the perfect segue. And we've heard this
from the left in a particular David Letterman, and he
might not be entirely wrong that there's a merger that's
going to happen that paramount CBS. They want to make
sure it goes smoothly. And now they've acquired Free Press
run by Barry Weiss and her news standing with CBS News.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
What I saw in just a.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Clip here is that Scott Pelly of sixty Minutes is
sitting down with witnesses to the Charlie Kirk assassination. I
found that to be interesting from an editorial standpoint or
decision that they've made. But what does Barry Weiss represent,
Stephen And already you've already quot tweeted one of these.
The left is up in arms about it and needs
to be fitted for a straight jacket.
Speaker 9 (13:58):
Yeah, I mean Barry Weiss for your audience that doesn't
really know her, she's kind of a moderate liberal.
Speaker 8 (14:04):
She was kind of chased out of The New York.
Speaker 9 (14:06):
Times for just having contradictory opinions around things like the
EI of things like the Floyd Bryants, around things like COVID.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Also Jewish things became.
Speaker 9 (14:15):
A problem at the New York Times for her, and
so she went over to Substack and she built an
outlok called The Free Press, which became pretty much one
of the most powerful and popular out independent media outlets
that really launched Substack.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
And the interesting thing about that.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
Is all of these journalists that have been leaving corporate media.
The Jim Acostas, the Terry Moranz, the Chuck Todd's and
Jennifer Rubens. They're all following the model of someone they hate.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
In Barry White.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
And what I think is interesting is, yeah, she's just
been named editor in chief of CBS News starting Monday,
so they have a couple of days to clean out.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Their desks before they freak out.
Speaker 9 (14:51):
I think it's interesting she's going back to a corporate
media model that she herself made pretty obsolete.
Speaker 8 (14:58):
I think she views this as a challenge.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
To kind of try to rehab corporate media and try
to make it relevant again. There's obviously the dollar sign
of that the Ellison purchased for about what around.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
What's being reported one hundred and fifty millions, So.
Speaker 9 (15:11):
Of course there's that aspect of it, but the fact
that she's returning to a format of corporate news that
seems pretty obsolete in today's just instant streaming media and
independent media model. I myself, I'm on SUBSEAC. I think
it's really going to be interesting to watch. And while
I don't always agree with everything that Barry Rice or
(15:31):
her team at the Free Past Best Rights or produces.
She will be responsible. And so it's not really about
pro Trump, anti Trump, pro left anti left.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
It's about are.
Speaker 9 (15:42):
We going to be responsible journalists and follow facts and
stories no matter who it favors or disfavors. And so
that's what's going to be really interesting to watch among
who decides to flame out at CBS because they can't
stand the idea of working for, seriously, one of the
most moderate, boring people in all of media.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
They can't stand it.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
They can't assum they've never been forced to, and now
that they're may be in that box, they want to
escape it.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Steven L.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Miller, our guests, you talk about journalistic responsibility and this
just happening a very serious subject from Disclosed TV that
you quote tweeted here Steven UK's counter terrorism Police named
Manchester synagogue attacker as Jihad al Shaeney, a thirty five
year old UK citizen of Syrian descent. Now you have
(16:26):
a still shot here in your quote tweet that says, Okay, guys,
how are we going to spend that his name is
literally Jihad?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Pitch your ideas first? What is that still from?
Speaker 3 (16:36):
I see Roger Sterling from Madman fame and how will
they spend this.
Speaker 9 (16:41):
That's from Spotlet's from the movie Spotlight, which was again
a Best Picture winner, about how brave and great our journalists.
Speaker 4 (16:46):
Are, and that's kind of a dig I.
Speaker 9 (16:49):
Very much enjoyed the film Spotlight, but it's the idea that,
you know, how how are we going to figure out
to not pin this on clearly, what is radical immigration
policies coming to the UK.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
I'm not one of these immigration hawks.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
I generally believe if people are truly trying to escape
a bad place, so we should give them the option.
That's not seeming there's no assimilation happening with that. This
would be like if one of if one of the
hijackers full of plane into the World Trade Center, if
his name was nine to eleven. And so it's going
to be kind of funny to watch how our media
(17:22):
spins this. Maybe they'll just say, hey, he was having
a spiritual struggle, like we heard from the mayor of
New York City. We've already seen him. Just blame this
on Benjamin Nett and Yahood, which is kind of their
their playbook.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Maybe they'll blame jk.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
Rowling on this planet. I don't know, but it is.
Every time they try to get you know, the media
and especially BBC style medium Sky News try to spin
this anything that it is. It's going to be real
hard to get around the fact the guy's name is
literally Jihad and it.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
All comes back to JK Rowling sitting lely enough. Steven L.
Miller eloquent in his pros.
Speaker 3 (17:59):
You can follow him on x at red Ste's and
be sure to listen to his podcast, The Versus Media
Podcasts on his sub stack from there as well.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
Steven great stuff is always. Thank you as always for
your time.
Speaker 8 (18:10):
Thanks Ryan anytime.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
All right, Steven ELM. Miller makes his home right here
in Colorado. Proud home, Steven L.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Miller.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Get your tax five seven seven three nine. Ryan, you
were not just born with the Y chromosome. You were
conceived and created with the Y chromosome. You had that
immutable trait before you were born. You were correct, Texter.
But I certainly had it when I was born, and
that's the point I was making with Zach and myself.
And it can't be changed, it can't be erased. It
can't be undone either can this show. So we'll try
(18:39):
to get it right when we come back more, Ryan Schuling,
Live Lord Almighty. So no matter which of those two
it was, it was before Zach it was BZ.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Time measurement. How many of the Spice girls can you name?
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Zach?
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Go what there's scary? Sporty?
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Posh?
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, isn't Ginger one my favorite? Oh yeah? I think
that's all I got?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Jerry Hallowell Mio and Baby Baby I should have gotten
that one.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
You got.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
You got eighty percent of them, though, and I think
you got the more difficult ones first that the oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
That one Posh is the one I think, Oh yeah,
did you have a favorite Spice girl?
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Young?
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I don't even know which is I know the names,
but like if you showed me faces, I could not
match match the two.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
It's definitely Ginger for me.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
And that is in conflict with my Gilligan's Island take,
which I think as a younger, more impressionable boy who
knew nothing of women or the ways of women, still
down by the way, but even more so. Back then,
Ginger was the flashier one.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
But then as you got to kind of watch.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
The series and Don Wells, I'm telling you, Mary Ann
John and I have had entire segments dedicated.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
To this topic. This and uh in Star Trek and
the Beatles.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
I missed, I miss John Caldera Independence Institute, so I'll
have to settle for the next best thing. And I
mean that like silver medal. Jimmy Sangenberger short only to
John Caldera, he of the Gazette. Jimmy Sangenberger and folks,
You're going to be shocked, shocked to learn that there
(20:29):
is another controversy coming out of the jeff Co Public schools.
I know, I was just as surprised as you were.
This is a buy the book public school district. Nothing
normally goes awry or off kilter or off the rails,
and the jeff Co Public Skuy.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
You know about it. I can't even keep up the
lie anymore. Jimmy. Welcome to Ryan Schuling Life.
Speaker 10 (20:49):
Ryan. I'm glad that instead of all a's, all the
time for Caldera, you have all e's, all the time
for Sangenburger today. Brother, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
You know I love that you can observe.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
That's a very cogent observation, as is the title of
your article. Lakewood's shady school deal gets even shadier. Jimmy,
how shady.
Speaker 10 (21:11):
Did it get a shady business going on? Lakewood and Jeffco.
I wrote about this last week and I'm glad to
talk with you about it because there's not enough awareness.
So a few years ago Jeffco Schools put up for
sale well closed and therefore would put up for sale
several schools, including Emery Elementary School, which is located in Lakewood. Now,
(21:36):
the valuation of that school, at least according to the
county assessor in Jeffco, is twelve million dollars. That includes
just shy of a million dollars worth for the land
itself and then of course the rest for the school.
And you know, when you do a market sale, you
never know how much of the value you're actually going
(21:58):
to get for something like that. Normally, you would put
it out for private bidding or public bidding, where basically
you can have cities, you can have private developers what
have you, go ahead and place their bids on the
property when it's put up for sale. Well, instead, what
Jeffco's Schools did was an early last year create a
(22:21):
process called the Municipal Interest process, which simply put bypasses
public bidding, open bidding, and the municipality in this case,
Lakewood gets first and only DIDs on the property.
Speaker 9 (22:37):
And guess what.
Speaker 10 (22:38):
They reached a deal, that tentative deal expected to close
in December, for only four million dollars from Lakewood to
the district. That is a third of what the potential
market value is for the property. The city of Lakewood
spends four million dollars and then they're turning that around
(22:59):
and for one million dollars they are selling the building
and surrounding parking lots. So that means most of that
property ten acres of seventeen acres to a homeless focused
nonprofit called the Action Center for just one million dollars. Again,
twelve million value that potentially the district could get, ultimately
(23:23):
getting passed through Lakewood to a nonprofit for a million dollars.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Now, my next question I think is a fairly obvious one, Jimmy,
and that is that they think they could get away
with this, I know, hold the laugh track there, and
that a reporter I don't know, like Jimmy Sangingberger from
the Gazette would not find out about it.
Speaker 10 (23:42):
I think they still expect to get away with it,
and I think they probably will get away with it.
But the public needs to have a say and keep
in mind that, yeah, there is the school board elections
coming up. There are Lakewood municipal elections coming up. Like
in the next couple of weeks, you will start getting
balls in your inbox, in your mailbox for you to
(24:04):
cast your local votes. You need to keep that in mind.
Let folks know about this if you're in Lakewood, if
you're in Jeffco schools, because this just keeps getting shadier.
And to add even more to this, Ryan too little points.
Emory Elementary School is in a neighborhood and that's where
they want to set up this nonprofit. And the Action
(24:25):
Center's been around since I think the nineteen sixties, so
it's a long standing institution in Jeffco. It's got two
existing buildings that they own at fourteenth and Colfax, and
the city is going to buy those buildings from the
Action Center and leads them to the Action Center tending
(24:47):
when the Action Center that's the nonprofit, can move into
Emory Elementary School. To just sort of put a pin
on what that means, the district will basically be paying
the Action Center to the property that they're selling to
the Action Center for a million dollars or excuse me,
the city.
Speaker 9 (25:05):
We'll be doing that.
Speaker 10 (25:07):
Well, the real make this stuff up.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
No, this is not fabricated fiction, although I think Jimmy Sangenberger,
if challenged to produce that, could do so.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
But will the real slim shady please stand up?
Speaker 3 (25:18):
We might not know Lakewood's shady school deal gets even shadier.
That by Jimmy Sangenberger from a week ago in the Gazette. Jimmy,
you work in any stories right now? You got your
press pass, sun you got your Fedora going well.
Speaker 10 (25:31):
I will be doing a follow up. It'll be out
Sunday instead of tomorrow. On this Amy Patten, the DA
in a Rapahoe County not being recalled. No recall paperwork
was turned in with signatures, so that will not happen.
And she seems to be taking.
Speaker 9 (25:49):
A victory lap.
Speaker 10 (25:50):
Yeah, but I don't think she's out of the woods
yet And so that'll be Sunday's upcoming come.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
That is quite a tease.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
And not to mention Jimmy Sangenberger, you can see him
live if your Jimmy Junior Blues band, Jimmy is coming
to Parker tell us.
Speaker 10 (26:04):
More Takota Tavern Tomorrow night from seven thirty to eleven
thirty in Parker. We've been doing gigs that are more
out in dactually coincidentally Jeff co or further up north.
We're playing in wheat Ridge next week if the Birds
from five to eight on that Saturday. But Tomorrow night
(26:24):
we're down south and Parker at Dakota Tavern from seven
thirty to eleven thirty. We're going to have Darren Ron,
who is a multi time Grammy nominated sax player. He's
got a tune that is song that is number thirteen
on the Billboard charts. He's also our friend Priscilla Ron's husband,
that's right, and he's going to be sitting in for
a few tunes tomorrow. And Little Birdie told me you
(26:47):
might be making an appearance to check out the gig tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I might be incognito, but I will be there Jimmy
to support you, because that's how much it means to
me to be there for Jimmy plains harmonica And wait a.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Minute, you just listed four hours.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
You guys got a set that will last four hours
or how long of a break's going on?
Speaker 1 (27:04):
What's going on with.
Speaker 10 (27:05):
All that that means we will be playing four sets
over a four hour period. Yes, lots of music. Wow,
we're wrapped up and ready.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
To go bro just like the Rolling Stones coming back
from more Jimmy Sangenberger. Check that out, coming up tomorrow
night in Parker. And oh, by the way, Jimmy, give
the works a look up there in wheat Ridge while
you're there. I'm gonna have the owner on with me
tomorrow talking about kind of a sticky wicket that he
found himself and through no fault of his own. That's
(27:35):
Paul Porter, owner of the works in wheat Ridge. So
just tip the cap there for you to give that
place a look.
Speaker 10 (27:41):
Well, I have to do that, brother, Thank you, all.
Speaker 3 (27:43):
Right, Jimmy Sangenberger joining us from the Gazette. I will
see him tomorrow and maybe you will too. Text the
show five seven, seven, three nine. We round it out,
hoping to bring home a Tiger's victory. They had a
big inning while Steven L. Miller was on the air
with me. I will forever refer to him as good Luck,
good Luck Miller. Okay, time out, we're back. Ryan Schuling
Life concludes after this the trifecta of Michael McDonald and
(28:10):
the yacht rock. Let's go to the text five seven
seven three nine, Ryan, my wife has yacht rock as
a preset on her serious. My car doesn't have serious,
Otherwise we would both have it as a preset.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
I think you should count this as two votes for David.
I will and I just did. Ryan.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Now that these words have been watered down, tell me
what stings more racist, sexist, Nazi or JK. Rowling's surgical
word smith ory Ooh, what a great question. The takedown
that she had there was so eloquent, so even keeled,
so level headed, so precise, so accurate, not being too verbose,
(28:54):
but just enough to make a little extra point on M. L. Woltson,
think that outweighs any of those pejoratives that you just named. Honestly, now,
let's say eighties nineties. Okay, somebody goes, why and you're racist?
Wait wait a minute, I know I'm not. What are
you talking about? I take that very personally. That's a
very serious accusation, sexist, Nazi.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Any of those that you said, especially the Nazi one,
was like, wait a minut.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
My grandmother's relatives were gassed at concentration camps.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
By Nazi Germany.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
So I'm not exactly sympathetic to their cause now or
at any other time in my life or at any
point in the future. The Serbs were considered gypsy, nomadic,
swarthy people. These were my people, my mom's people. Okay,
they were not Aryan at all, and so they were
thrown in the Yugoslavs into the gas chambers and Auschwitz
(29:48):
and Dachau and all that other stuff.
Speaker 1 (29:51):
So yeah, when.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
Somebody calls me a Nazi, I just laugh. I mean,
it's it's laughable. It's like they're calling Jewish people Nazis,
and I went, wait, wait minute, that's not possible, at
least be accurate with your historical references Nazis.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It's too clean for them. It's it's too easy, it's
too lazy. That that's all they have. I mean, that's
all they have.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
That's when you know you've won this Texterter says, of course,
Jeff Coo thinks they can get away with it, because
they most likely will. It does nothing in the state
anymore for good reporters to find out about these things,
because nothing usually ends up happening. Well, text he we're
trying to change that. Whether it's Lindsay Datko and jeffco
kids first, and believe me, she's a bur in their saddle.
(30:35):
To put it mildly, she's awesome. Aaron Lee Pooter School District.
The lawsuit that she has filed, that's before the Supreme
Court of the United States for consideration, and they're going
to make that decision. I've been told by Aaron herself
within this next week to see if they're going to
put it on the docket for consideration to be heard
as a case before the Supreme Court of the United States.
(30:58):
So pray for her a little harder, if you would please.
We all should be anyway, because she nearly had her
daughter taken right away from her by the indoctrination of
a so called art club that was a facade for
a LGBTQ indoctrination club. Do you feel insecure in your
own body, twelve year old girl? Well, yeah, doesn't every
(31:19):
twelve year old girl feel insecure in their body?
Speaker 4 (31:21):
Is changing?
Speaker 3 (31:22):
Things are happening now, yeah everywhere. If for a guy,
I can tell you it wasn't comfortable, that doesn't mean
we're the opposite gender, you fools. And even if somebody
has gender dysphoria. A vast majority of the time, an
individual either grows out of that or they confront the
fact that maybe they are in fact homosexual, gay, lesbian,
(31:44):
and there's nothing wrong with that, and you don't have
to chop off.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Body parts and you can live your life. And I
think Steven L.
Speaker 3 (31:51):
Miller made the point, not in this last appearance today,
but in his previous one, that there's been no better
time in world history than to be a gay person
in the United States of America, Right, Yeah, And he's right, Ryan.
Did you ever in your wildest dreams think we have
a president that wastes time meme tweeting on a regular
basis or creating memes?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
I didn't the first time around, and then I learned better,
and that's who he is. They gound or believe it.
You can have fun with it, you can laugh about it.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
And I think I'd rather have a president that uses
humor as his weapon of choice and goes on offense.
How many figurative and literal slings and arrows has Donald
Trump taken in his life over the last ten years,
including a literal bullet to his ear. So if he's
going to fire off a couple of mean tweets and
some hilarious memes.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
I'm here for it, and.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I'll stay here for it, and Zach's going to stay
here just for the postgame show. The Good Doctor coming
up next. Matt Dunn filling in for Dan Caflis. You've
been listening to Ryan Schuwing Live. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
