As a first-generation American on his mom's side, with his grandparents escaping a communist dictatorship in Yugoslavia to be granted asylum in the United States, Ryan can relate to Venezuelans and their emotional, positive response the Trump Adminstration extracting Nicolas Maduro from power in their home country. It is also why Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) are both so passionate about this issue, as first-generation Americans of Cuban descent.

This is six thirty K out Denver's talk station, den
iHeartRadio station, guaranteed.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Human phone lines now wide open if you want to
check in with your pick for governor in the GOP
primary field that continues to win O down, or at
least it would appear so now it has grown by
one in the form of Joe Oltman, and he will
join me during our final hour, the nine o'clock hour
here in the Mountain time zone, coming up a little
(00:32):
later today three zero three seven to one, three eight
two five five. In the meantime, if you want to
check in anything you just heard from Representative Scott Bottoms,
who remains in the race and also remains in the
candidate forum this Saturday, again a law of diminishing returns here.
Mandy Connell of KOA, yours truly on this microphone, will
(00:52):
be on that microphone, moderating the Republican Governor candidate Forum
hosted by Steve Wells of Wells Ranch, big donor within
the GOP and Wild County Sheriff Steve Reims will be
m seeing the events. So it's a corny coopia of
stars and also me and if you want to attend,
I think there's a few tickets left.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I'm looking right at it right now.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Simply search Republican Governor Candidate Forum on the Google Searches
or wherever else you use a search engine, and that'll
be hosted by the Double Tree by Hilton Greeley at
Lincoln Park this Saturday, so three days from today one
thirty pm to three thirty pm. Now, just to update
on this question from a text or you're right, JT.
(01:34):
Here will hi JT and thanks for tuning in. You
can text five seven seven thirty nine as well. Thought
Lopez canceled Saturday. You are correct. My conversation with representing
Scott Bottoms needs to be updated there and Lopez will
be in attendance, so I'll see him there and you
will too if you attend. I also spoke with Adam Derido,
(01:54):
who is a guest earlier this week. He is the
primary challenger Representative Gabe Evans in the eighth Congressional Day
which is right up there Greeley Wild County, and he
is likely to attend. So it should be an interesting
kind of combination of sorts of people that are observing
this at least in real time, and there are only
three candidates remaining that will be participating. Scott Bonhams is
(02:16):
one of those. Senator Bob Kirkmeyer, you'll hear from her
tomorrow morning. My conversation with her, as she is one
of the leading candidates when it comes to fundraising. I
gotta update on that as well in just a moment.
And you heard from Sheriff Jason mike Sel of Teler
County yesterday on this program. He will be participating as well,
(02:36):
so be those three now. Victor Marx, he declined the invitation.
He's got events in Florida that are far more important. Apparently,
State Senator Mark Baisley. I asked him this question. I'm
going to reach out tomorrow hopefully get him on soon
because I point blanks, said, Hey, what made you decide
to run in the governor's race instead of the US
Senate race when you're a senator at the state level
(02:57):
and you could easily enter the race challenge John Hick
and Loup Hick and Looper is going to be eighty
years old if he does win this next election. In
this year's twenty twenty six campaign, he will turn eighty
by the time that term is over Mark basically much
younger than that, and he is now running in that race,
(03:18):
so I'm going to get an update from him.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I think he's a strong candidate there.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
We need strong, credible, electable candidates who stand on principle.
You know, you go back to the axidum that I
have to stick to on this program, which is a
pragmatic and practical approach with priorities based in principle. Now,
you don't want to compromise those principles, but you do
want to pick your battles. And this is something I
(03:44):
know many of you who were listening to the Dan
Kapla show yesterday, Dick Wadams comes on GOP strategist and consultant.
The last time Colorado went red in an election, he
was a big part of that. Last time we won
a statewide race was Ganol for the Board of Regents,
see you, Boulder. But as far as like elected office
(04:05):
at either the national level or the state level, it
was Senator Corey Gardner. And why did he win. It's
a discipline message that stays on task, that has the
conversations with people in the unaffiliated middle kitchen table issues
things that affect their everyday lives, crime, cost of living.
(04:26):
These are the sort of I think winning issues that
Republicans can come down and really make a difference in
chipping away at the margins of what takes to win
in Colorado. And it will not be easy. I mean,
there's just no two ways about that. Let's go to
who do you got here?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Online?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
One? Shan sus Susanne. Very happy to hear from you.
Thanks for checking in here on Ryan Sholing Live.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Welcome right.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I live in Boulder. I get a newsletter from see
you once in a while, and I got one yesterday
from the woman who is over the Center for Humanities
and the Arts, and I kind of took me by
surprise because of what the content was. She was saying,
(05:17):
made comments that she thought what we lived in a
please and I'm getting kind of forgetful now a fascist state,
and went on and on about Trump and what was
happening in Venezuela, and it just seemed out of place
(05:40):
to be coming from cu ahead of a center there.
That happened at eight thirty and by three thirty I
got another email from the site saying, oh, she meant
to include some information that wasn't included in the first
which was I am speaking on my own behalf and
(06:00):
as over the Center for Humanities.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And I was just about to ask that, Suzanne, because
if this was an official email sent out blast on
behalf of CU Boulder, they would have to ascribe their
own a name to that. And apparently somebody got to
her and said, hey, look, you're off the reservation here.
If you're speaking on your own behalf, that's one thing,
but you don't speak on behalf of a department within
the university. One other question I have, Suzanne, based on
(06:24):
what you just told me, she's saying we live in
a fascist state. Does she mean a fascist state of
Colorado or a FASc fascist nation of the United States
under Donald Trump?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, okay, I misrepresented that name.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
That's okay, that's okay. Glad to hear you.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
So I just want someone to look into it because
I would suspect that she's going to lose her I
would hope that she would lose her position.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
See you, Okay, you're.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Coming out with that now, Suzanne, Thanks for that, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
If you have some thoughts to share, you can do
so at three zero three seven one, three eight two
five five shan Man, you sent me a screen shot here.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
What do we got.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The woman who runs the department to Apparently, who's whose
amm was talking about. That's the CHA director, Jennifer Hoe,
a professor in the department. Now, it's no surprise in
a Seed of Boulder people's republic, right. I mean, we
know the political orientation virtually everybody on that campus. And
I've said it many times and I'll put that offer
out there again. If they want to truly diverse staff
(07:23):
on the faculty at see You Boulder and they want
somebody to come in to help with instruction on broadcast
performance writing, I'm your guy.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I'm your guy.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I'm a straight white conservative dude who's worked in this
business over a quarter century.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'm qualified. I'm rip rarin and ready. A lot of the.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Students might hate me, that's fine, but I'm telling you this.
That would be a diverse hire, and that'd be a
smart hire by CEO Boulder.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm not campaigning for a job here, I'm.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Just saying, if diversity is truly what they're looking for,
I'm your guy. Was that Ralphie? Is that what that was?
Shan I mean, I'm serious. Do they have somebody like me,
just a regular old white guy, Christian conservative straight mail
(08:14):
on their faculty. Do you think so? How many can
you count it on one hand? Can you count them
on one finger? That's all I'm saying. Okay, I knew
you'd go somewhere with that, But as far as fascist regimes, listen,
stop with the noise, stop with the nonsense, stop with
the bull blank.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Now, if we're having beers and Shan doesn't drink it anymore,
but if he and I were having beers and you
happen to join us, well you know the language that
you get because I take this issue very personally, and
you can hear it when you listen to Secretary of
State Marco Rubio, who is the son of Cuban refugees,
A first generation American, I am a first generation American
(08:54):
on my mom's side. My grandparents fled the communist dictatorship
of and Yugoslavia. Little Marco and Senator Ted Cruz as
well first generation Americans parents fled Cuba, a communist dictatorship
of squalor and complete disarray. The coastal liberal elite morons,
(09:20):
many of which in that category, reside on cu Boulder's
campus as well, by the way, have no point of reference.
They throw on their Shei Guavara t shirts. They think
they're cool. They believe that there's some kind of redeemable
quality within the tenets of socialism, which are a scourge
and an inherent evil. That's all that it is. And
(09:43):
if you need further proof of this, don't watch the
wealthy white chicks protesting in New York City or college
campuses or whatever that don't know their heads from a
hole in the ground.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Again, I'm cleaning up my language here.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Let's hear from an Arkansas resident from Venezuela and get
her take on the American mission to decapitate the Maduro regime,
to invade Venezuela and capture Nicholas Maduro.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Listen to her.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Whatever situation you have ever lived in the United States
will never ever compare to the famine, persecution, and destruction
that we have entered to twenty six years. I had
friends that took whatever somebody threw on the trash and
(10:36):
tried to eat the leftovers. We see it as salvation, Honestly,
that's the way we see it.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
We see it as the opportunity to hog our family again,
you know, because I'm sorry. We fought way too hard
and we were either killed, run over by their tanks,
taken to preson and disappeared.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
People that I studied.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
With, they just disappeared.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
They just took them away, They vanished them.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
And I think it is terribly disrespectful for anybody to
tell the Venezuela how.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
We should react to that.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I think is.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Terrible disrespectful to the people that have died, saying that
Maduda shouldn't be where he.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Is and there will be a day that is a family.
I'm gonna go hug them all again. Who we're going
to say that we make it, and that's because real
men in uniform went and took that man away, and
that is the truth.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Real men on behalf of the US military in a
flawlessly executed mission without losing a single life of a
single American troop.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
There were injuries sustained, but no deaths.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Mowing down thirty of Nicholas Maduro's thugs who are protecting
him in his position there in Caracas, Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I want to give this woman a hug, she says.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
We see it as salvation, the opportunity to hug Our
family again cites people picking through the trash. This is
the ultimate and inevitable result of socialism and communism, squalor, despair, hopelessness, fear.
There is no other destination on the path of socialism.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's where it all leads.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Be it Venezuela, be it Cuba, be a Yugoslavia, be
at the Soviet Union.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
That's just a fact of the matter. Jack.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And then we hear somebody like this absolute mental midget,
Representative Sean Scott, Democrat, State of Washington Legislature. And thank
God for a journalist like Brandy Cruz because she's playing
the part of me here. Just listen to this bunk.
And again, this is one of those Shai Guavara T
(12:58):
shirt wearing social up with the revolution bs type of
dudes who's never been challenged in his way of thinking,
who's been inculcated in some kind of echo chamber on
a college campus most likely, and not brought to task
on the tenets of socialism which are completely destructive.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Listen to this bunk.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
I want you to give me one example of socialism
you think working well somewhere.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
A good example of socialism working well somewhere it's this
is a really really cool question. I think of Cuban particular,
very very high literacy rate, number one, number two, extremely
strong commitment to public health. Oh so that's one example
that I can think of that with great example pretty
much anybody in our state who cares about education or healthcare.
(13:45):
Would you disagree with that people flee.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
On makeshift rafts and die in the ocean to flee
Cuba for the United States.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
Yeah, And I think that that is something that absolutely
we have to be sensitive to. But you asked me
about institutions that are working really really well.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
About places socialism is working, and you chose a country
that people will risk their lives to flee from this
to this country.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
There's a reason for that, chump.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
There was a revolution in Cuba, that is correct.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
They still do it to this day. They show up
on the beaches of Miami because they would rather be
here and would risk their lives in shark infested water
to flee the country that you just gave me an
example of.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
And if if the situation were reversed, the injuries and
the ailments that they sustain as a result of migrating
to a place where they believe that they're going to
be better off. I believe that they can be treated
in a much better way than American health care facilities are.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Currently able to treat people.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
So that's one example that I can think of. Oh
my god, socialism working no very well in public health
and in education.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
All right, all right, what else can you say?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
This guy is irretrievable from the dumpster fire of dumbness.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Well, if they did come.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
To this country to flee all the horror and awfulness
of the Cuban communist regime, they should at least get
better healthcare than what they left. My god, man, would
a person make a makeshift raft out of the door
or car carcass of a fifty seven Chevy, because that's
(15:20):
what they're driving around there on the island of Cuba
after the revolution one of nineteen fifty nine and Fidel
Castro in all of the absolute destruction that followed in
his wake.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Create a raft.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Sail across those shark infested waters from Cuba to Miami,
set foot on South Beach somewhere in South Florida, and
thank God that they got there. If they get there,
because falling over the raft and into the ocean, to
be devoured by sharks is a preferable alternative to living
a life of absolute disaster and nightmarish circumstances in Cuba. Oh,
(15:58):
but they have a higher literacy rate, better healthcare.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I don't think we've ever had a stronger nominee for
our Fool of the Week than Sean Scott, State Representative
of Washington.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
There.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
It doesn't stop there. Though, it doesn't stop there, Zorn, Mom, Donnie, Now,
I don't disagree with him on principle here, but real quick,
we'll get his take on the World Cup and whether
tickets to this event are affordable or not, and why
aren't they and if they aren't, what can he do
about it?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
As mayor of New York.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
City, I had in New York and the other day
come up to me and ask me if there was
any way I could help him get World Cup tickets,
because he was saying that the costs that he saw
for a game was six hundred dollars. Right, this is
increasingly out of reach. We have made what used to
be a working class game into a luxury experience, and
there are too many for whom it doesn't matter where
the World Cup is being played in the world. They
(16:51):
know where they're going to watch it. It's TV, and
we want to ensure that there are more experiences available
to each and ever New York.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't disagree with his premise. I felt this two
and the problem is we have a lot of what
I would call blue collar ascendant individuals in the United States,
and that's a great success story. One of those success
stories is our own Dan Caplis. Dan grew up with
nothing on the South Side of Chicago. His dad was
(17:18):
a hard working police officer. His mom was a stay
at home mom and homemaker. They didn't have, you know,
two Nichols to rub together. And Dan never forgets that experience.
It's what drives him to the success that he's enjoyed
in his career to this day. But now Dan can
not only afford, through Capitalist Law to have suites at
every major sporting event in Denver and CU Boulder if
(17:40):
he wants to. His law firm, Capitalist Law is the
official law firm of Ball Arena for both the Avalanche
and the Nuggets.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
That's great, that's great stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But what I'm saying is the Dan Caplis say the
nineteen sixties is a youngster and the Dan caplis that
runs capitalist law. Now are two very different people with
two very different means levels of means, and there are
a lot of those out there again, great American success
stories which have driven up the cost of tickets to
sporting events, the demand for those, the interest in those.
(18:10):
Because my dad was saying when his father would take
them to double headers at Tiger Stadium on Sundays, because
you got two for one. You got two games for
the price of one. And my grandpa was real frugal.
That the fan base was much more blue collar. Back then,
you didn't see kind of hoity toity types that worked
in corporate America going to sporting events.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
They didn't have that interest.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
But now that the baby boomers and a little bit
younger some Gen xers, let's say, have grown up, become successful,
but had that core root interest as working class Americans
in sports that stays with them. They're still at their
fundamental core, those people, but they have the means now
to pay what it takes to get the ticket prices
(18:53):
that these sporting events demand. So for Zora and Mandani
ensuring that World Cup tickets are availed, well all it
doesn't even apply to him. I think he forgets he's
the mayor of a city and he's not like a
governor of a territory, and there's nothing he can do
really to affect the prices of sporting event tickets. One
more here on the issues and tenets of socialism, what
(19:15):
a scourge they are, and why it is evil, and
why it is not only a law of diminishing returns
but a destination on the path to failure.
Speaker 10 (19:23):
I think the reality is is that for centuries we've
really treated property as an individualized good and not a
collective good, and we are going to and transitioning to
treating it as a collective good and towards a model
of shared equity. No will require that we think about
it differently, and it will mean that families, especially white families,
(19:48):
but some POC families who are homeowners as well, are
going to have a different relationship to property than the
one that we currently have.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
This is brain Rod, a different relationshi ship to property
than we currently have.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
This is CEA.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Weaver, New York City Tenant Director under now new mayor
Zora Mundani, transitioning from treating property as an individual good
to a collective good. No rich people or poor people
from now on, we'll all be the same.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Wait a minute, I got to think about that will
lead us two kings.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You can find that on the Tadacious D album from
about twenty five years ago. By the way, I've seen
reports now that her own family, her own parents, live
in a one point six million dollar home. So here
we go with the liberal white guilt crap and that
we shouldn't have private property ownership in this country.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
One of the driving factors.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Is to what makes us individual Americans with rights and
liberties and freedoms that we can call our own home
something that is one of our belongings, possessions and assets.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
They want to remove that.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
No, thanks, private property ownership is essential to maintaining the
dignity rights not just of white people, but she meant
people of color that have worked hard to buy their
own home, to have their own homestead, to own their
own property, to have their own backyard.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
That's the American dream, and they want to squash it.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
The timeout, We're back some based Fetterman to cleanse the
palette on Ryan Schuling Live after this and now everybody's
favorite Democratic Congress with another edition of Based Fetterman. That's
John Fetterman telling it like it is and somebody else
who does that'll be joining us in just a moment.
Jimmy Sangenberger, occasional fill in host on this program and
(21:38):
investigat columnist and writer for the Denver Gazette. Your thoughts
at three zero three seven one three eight two five
five your text as well five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
You can follow him at Saying Center.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Scnng cen t e Er. Jimmy Sangenberger our guest on
Ryan Schuling Live. Jimmy, Welcome back.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Morning for happy new year, and congrats on the slot.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Appreciate that, Jimmy. Looking forward to having you fill in
on the regular when I am out. So you're going
to be the go to guy for that in my opinion,
and I think I might have a say in that.
So talk to us a bit about your latest here
in the Gazette, David Weiss, I mean this curious story
here you say that jeffco Schools families deserve answers and
(22:26):
the title of your op ed is a year later,
still no accountability in Jeff Coast Schools.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
You would take it from there, please?
Speaker 11 (22:32):
Yeah? Remember a year ago, the big buzz was that
the chief of schools that would be the number three
in the district. In Jefferson County Schools, David Wise had
just taken his own life following an investigation into child
pornographic material, and this rock jeff Coost Schools, especially because
(22:58):
at the time it was the latest than what was
already a string of scandals of sexual abuse in Colorado's
second largest school district. But this time it was somebody
who wasn't just one of the top administrators, but was
involved with advising the district accountability committee that includes the
public and parents. On that committee, he was involved in
(23:22):
shaping and implementing the district so called trusted adult culture
and policies and different activities in the district, and so forth,
in making trust with teachers of this idea of a
trusted adult an institution as opposed to letting it naturally develop,
which is of course what's supposed to be essential for
(23:44):
kids is to naturally develop with adults a trusted relationship,
as opposed to, hey, find an adult that you trust
and make them your trusted adult. But he was also
involved in disciplinary evaluations and teacher evaluations as well. So
this is a guy who was heavily involved in intricate
(24:04):
things in the district into this day, Ryan, they have
not re examined all the different cases of sexual abuse
or related impropriety type cases involving teachers or staff that
Weiss was involved in. For example, the Columbine High School investigation.
He was aware of this student who had been groomed
(24:27):
for years by a teacher and then remember was declared
homeless under this federal McKinney Vento Act. And he was
involved in attending meetings on emails, knew about the communications
that were going on with the student and his teacher,
and didn't do anything about it himself. And yet again Ryan,
(24:50):
the district had not looked into these cases that one
or others that Weiss was involved in.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Jiv Steingenberger our guest with his latest a year later,
still no accountability in Jeffco's school. This is fruit of
the poisonous tree type stuff with David Weiss, as you
just mentioned, because he himself was embroiled in controversy which
no doubt led to his suicide with this child pornography racket.
And I believe he killed himself over on the East coast,
as I recall, If that's correct. And then the case
(25:16):
that you mentioned is just one of several Jimmy in
the jeff Coo School district, the grooming case in Columbine.
We know that Lindsay Dadco Jeffco Kids First has been
working diligently and very well, I might add an exposing
other types of leude in lascivious conduct within the school district.
And how do they get away with just kind of
(25:37):
trying to run out the clock here? I guess a
year later, Like you said, no accountability, nobody holding their
feet to the fire, other than maybe Lindsay Dadco, yourself
and the media. I'm not sure about the mainstream media
and the coverage that it's getting there.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
But is there.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Legal action that might force them to do so or
are we just kind of caught in a holding pattern
for the time being.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
That's an interesting question. In terms of legal action, I
don't know that would be I think what it'll come
down to is more public pressure. I mean, we do
have in Jefferson County School's three new school board members,
and if I were a jeff Co resident, I would
be getting on the phone, calling them up or sending
them emails saying please have the district look in to
(26:20):
re examine these cases. As you mentioned, Lindsay, Dadko and
Jefficool Kids First have done a fantastic job of really
spotlighting this. And I quote Lindsey in my piece, they've
identified some thirty three or so cases that Weis was
involved in or at least may have been involved in
(26:40):
investigating or what have you, because he was at the
district during that time of all of those cases. So
bringing that public public pressure to bear on new school
board members might help. Then again, there's only so much
that a board members willing to do, and they're new
on the board, so it's not just about letting them know.
(27:01):
It's also about keeping the public awareness out there, not
just through JEFCO Kids First or me or you, but
through everyday parents letting their fellow parents know about what's
been happening in Jeffco.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
And the true power belongs to the parents who are
also voters in that school district, in that county, And
when the time comes when the elections are on the ballot,
maybe this next year as well, they can vote for
the change that they want. If Jeffco continues to move
in well, no direction at all, right, Jimmy, Yeah.
Speaker 11 (27:33):
Well, and not only that it is so important now
when yesterday we got a big reminder of this gravity
of this crisis in Jeffco's schools and other school districts.
We've seen more stories come out of Douglas County, but
yesterday and Nevada high school teacher News Broke had been
arrested with ten counts of really just terrible, terrible charges
(27:58):
regarding children. No word on if any of the kids
that might have been victims of this alleged the suspect
were students in Jeff coost schools. But it has to
do in this case as I understand it with up
and Boulder. But this is a teacher out of high school,
I think, an English teacher and another instance of Jeff
(28:20):
COO's schools just royal time after time. And here's the thing.
I make this point in my piece. They say that
those who do not learn from history are doomed to
repeat it. The number one reason to look into cases
that David Weiss touched is not just that wife did it,
but whether or not there are lessons to be learned
(28:41):
from how they were handled in the past that can
help us now in moving forward.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
That's the key on the front lines of this reporting,
doing very important work. Jimmy Sangenberger his op ed you
can find it in the Denver Gazette a year later.
Still no accountability in Jeff COO's schools. Follow him on
Exit Saying Center, senng Center.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
See on teer.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Jimmy, thanks for your time as always and great job
on the reporting once again.
Speaker 11 (29:05):
Thanks brother, Happy New year.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Happy New year to you. A time out.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
We're back your tax five seven, seven, three nine, your
calls three zero three seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Still to come. Top of the hour.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Joe Oltman now in the race for governor on the
Republican side. He'll join us for the first segment of
the nine o'clock hour here on Ryan Schuling Live. President
Trump there addressing members of Congress on the Republican side
at an event. This from listener Jennifer and Parker. Venezuela
Live updates. US Forces board oil tanker in challenge to Russia.
(29:40):
The US military intercepted a Russian flag tanker as part
of its pressure campaign against Venezuela. It also stopped a
second ship in the Caribbean, and Jennifer says, we're taking
tankers good.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Because I'm going to present it this way.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Who do we trust more to handle the assets the
profits of Venezuelan oil, the richest oil reserves in the
world on the planet. Nicholas Maduro and his corrupt regime
of narco terrorists, Russia, China, Iran, an axis of evil
with whom Venezuela had diplomatic ties and alliances. A Russian
(30:16):
tanker absconding with Venezuelan oil, how much of those proceeds
profits would be going to the Venezuelan people. The Venezuelan
people are desolate and broke. The country is beyond bankrupt
outside of the power regime that was run by Nicholas Maduro.
(30:37):
President Trump. Caroline Lovett has confirmed this that yes, the
US is going to be running the oil racket for
Venezuela in the interim for the time being. The remnants
of the Maduro regime which remain in power and in place,
need to know that they answer to the Big Orange Man,
and that ultimately they will be replaced by free and
(30:58):
fair elections in Venezuela, by the people of Venezuela, who
will choose their own leaders, and they will finally be
allowed to enjoy the rightful profits of the oil industry
within that nation, rather than going to a corrupt regime
and the rest of the proletariat being boxed out. That
(31:18):
is the ultimate destination, as I said, of socialism and communism.
The very proletariat that these revolutionaries pretend to represent and
protect gum on the bottom of the shoe of the
quasi new neo bourgeoisie that ultimately manifests itself in the
(31:42):
form of a centralized government. They enjoy all the profits
those that are in power, and those that are not.
They don't even get the scraps they have to pick
off the garbage heap.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
They have to shoot pets in the street to eat.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
That's Venezuela today, but the Venezuela tomorrow, which is just
on the horizon. Find me one Venezuelan national, and I
presented one during this hour, a woman tremendously emotional who
lives in Arkansas, about what this means to remove Maduro
from power in that country and restore power to the people.
(32:19):
All of them are dancing in the streets celebrating this,
thanking President Trump and the United States for what they
have done.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
And there's no surprise as to why.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
This email to close out about my earlier conversation with
Representative Scott Bottoms and once again you can attend the
GOP candidate forum coming up this weekend at the Double
Tree by Hilton Greeley at Lincoln Park.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
It is sponsored by Wells Ranch.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
That's Steve Wells and will be mc by Wild County
Sheriff Steve Rahems, Mandy Connell, and myself will be moderating
the event with Representative Scott Bottoms, Senator Barb Kirkmeyer, who
you hear from tomorrow morning in lead up to this event,
and Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikexel. Those three top candidates
participating in this forum. But much of the chagrin apparently
(33:03):
of this email or who sends me this, when the
leading candidating quotes this is talking about Scott Bottoms has
to come on and spend time talking about he said,
she said, and name names but not all of them,
and describe all the dirty laundry crap. It just turns
people off. This is why the Republicans can't get anyone elected.
This guy hasn't talked about anything relevant to his plans
(33:23):
for Colorado. He has spent the whole show talking about
what he didn't say on a phone call, or who
he is trying to or who is trying to do
something unethical. Brief aside, Scott Bottoms was generous with this time,
and during the second hour, I think did outline a
lot of his plans and policy positions with me continuing though,
because I want to give this email a full voice,
(33:46):
I find it amazing that he smugly contends that he
is the runaway leader in presumptive nominee, but still gets
mired in the stupid infighting with other Republicans. You have
to appeal to the moderate centrist to win as a
Republican in Colorado. People like Bobert can win a highly
Republican district but largely repulses the centrists. You can love Trump,
but alignment with Trump will not winning Colorado. I don't
care about your religion, and I don't care about abortion.
(34:08):
I do care about undoing the californication that has occurred
in Colorado. If you can do that, spend all your
time telling us about that. Stop with the dirty laundry
and talk about what matters. John fuller Well said, John,
I'm going to tell you this. You're gonna have another
alternative coming up after the break. Joe Oltman will join us.
Conservative fire brand has thrown his hat into the ring
(34:29):
for this governor's race, so we'll get his take on
all of this and more. We come back final hour
of Ryan Schuling Live Straight Ahead, coming in the Bowl
and playoff season for football here in January. You want
to make sure that you have a game plan for
your retirement, and you can find out how easy it
can be by calling trajent Well today for your free consultation.

you in Broomfield Greenwood Village in Loveland at seven two
oh nine fifteen three thousand. That number once again, seven
to two oh nine fifteen three thousands. One thing to
save for retirement, but it's another thing all together to
feel ready for it. Trajan Wealth helped me build a
real plan. It's a plan that I needed. It's a
plan that I knew that I needed, but I didn't
know how to get there. And with less guests, work,
(35:12):
more peace of mind, Trajan Wealth put me on the
path to success. They explained everything to me very clearly.
No Jargon gave me options, never once tried to sell
me on something I didn't need, and now I'm a
client ever since the summer months of last year, and
I couldn't be happier as I track my investments and
my plan and path for retirement. If you want that
clear path forward, call Trajan Wealth today seven two oh nine,

Human phone lines now wide open if you want to
check in with your pick for governor in the GOP
primary field that continues to win O down, or at
least it would appear so now it has grown by
one in the form of Joe Oltman, and he will
join me during our final hour, the nine o'clock hour
here in the Mountain time zone, coming up a little
(00:32):
later today three zero three seven to one, three eight
two five five. In the meantime, if you want to
check in anything you just heard from Representative Scott Bottoms,
who remains in the race and also remains in the
candidate forum this Saturday, again a law of diminishing returns here.
Mandy Connell of KOA, yours truly on this microphone, will
(00:52):
be on that microphone, moderating the Republican Governor candidate Forum
hosted by Steve Wells of Wells Ranch, big donor within
the GOP and Wild County Sheriff Steve Reims will be
m seeing the events. So it's a corny coopia of
stars and also me and if you want to attend,
I think there's a few tickets left.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
I'm looking right at it right now.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Simply search Republican Governor Candidate Forum on the Google Searches
or wherever else you use a search engine, and that'll
be hosted by the Double Tree by Hilton Greeley at
Lincoln Park this Saturday, so three days from today one
thirty pm to three thirty pm. Now, just to update
on this question from a text or you're right, JT.
(01:34):
Here will hi JT and thanks for tuning in. You
can text five seven seven thirty nine as well. Thought
Lopez canceled Saturday. You are correct. My conversation with representing
Scott Bottoms needs to be updated there and Lopez will
be in attendance, so I'll see him there and you
will too if you attend. I also spoke with Adam Derido,
(01:54):
who is a guest earlier this week. He is the
primary challenger Representative Gabe Evans in the eighth Congressional Day
which is right up there Greeley Wild County, and he
is likely to attend. So it should be an interesting
kind of combination of sorts of people that are observing
this at least in real time, and there are only
three candidates remaining that will be participating. Scott Bonhams is
(02:16):
one of those. Senator Bob Kirkmeyer, you'll hear from her
tomorrow morning. My conversation with her, as she is one
of the leading candidates when it comes to fundraising. I
gotta update on that as well in just a moment.
And you heard from Sheriff Jason mike Sel of Teler
County yesterday on this program. He will be participating as well,
(02:36):
so be those three now. Victor Marx, he declined the invitation.
He's got events in Florida that are far more important. Apparently,
State Senator Mark Baisley. I asked him this question. I'm
going to reach out tomorrow hopefully get him on soon
because I point blanks, said, Hey, what made you decide
to run in the governor's race instead of the US
Senate race when you're a senator at the state level
(02:57):
and you could easily enter the race challenge John Hick
and Loup Hick and Looper is going to be eighty
years old if he does win this next election. In
this year's twenty twenty six campaign, he will turn eighty
by the time that term is over Mark basically much
younger than that, and he is now running in that race,
(03:18):
so I'm going to get an update from him.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
I think he's a strong candidate there.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
We need strong, credible, electable candidates who stand on principle.
You know, you go back to the axidum that I
have to stick to on this program, which is a
pragmatic and practical approach with priorities based in principle. Now,
you don't want to compromise those principles, but you do
want to pick your battles. And this is something I
(03:44):
know many of you who were listening to the Dan
Kapla show yesterday, Dick Wadams comes on GOP strategist and consultant.
The last time Colorado went red in an election, he
was a big part of that. Last time we won
a statewide race was Ganol for the Board of Regents,
see you, Boulder. But as far as like elected office
(04:05):
at either the national level or the state level, it
was Senator Corey Gardner. And why did he win. It's
a discipline message that stays on task, that has the
conversations with people in the unaffiliated middle kitchen table issues
things that affect their everyday lives, crime, cost of living.
(04:26):
These are the sort of I think winning issues that
Republicans can come down and really make a difference in
chipping away at the margins of what takes to win
in Colorado. And it will not be easy. I mean,
there's just no two ways about that. Let's go to
who do you got here?
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Online?
Speaker 1 (04:44):
One? Shan sus Susanne. Very happy to hear from you.
Thanks for checking in here on Ryan Sholing Live.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Welcome right.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
I live in Boulder. I get a newsletter from see
you once in a while, and I got one yesterday
from the woman who is over the Center for Humanities
and the Arts, and I kind of took me by
surprise because of what the content was. She was saying,
(05:17):
made comments that she thought what we lived in a
please and I'm getting kind of forgetful now a fascist state,
and went on and on about Trump and what was
happening in Venezuela, and it just seemed out of place
(05:40):
to be coming from cu ahead of a center there.
That happened at eight thirty and by three thirty I
got another email from the site saying, oh, she meant
to include some information that wasn't included in the first
which was I am speaking on my own behalf and
(06:00):
as over the Center for Humanities.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And I was just about to ask that, Suzanne, because
if this was an official email sent out blast on
behalf of CU Boulder, they would have to ascribe their
own a name to that. And apparently somebody got to
her and said, hey, look, you're off the reservation here.
If you're speaking on your own behalf, that's one thing,
but you don't speak on behalf of a department within
the university. One other question I have, Suzanne, based on
(06:24):
what you just told me, she's saying we live in
a fascist state. Does she mean a fascist state of
Colorado or a FASc fascist nation of the United States
under Donald Trump?
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Yeah, okay, I misrepresented that name.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
That's okay, that's okay. Glad to hear you.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
So I just want someone to look into it because
I would suspect that she's going to lose her I
would hope that she would lose her position.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
See you, Okay, you're.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Coming out with that now, Suzanne, Thanks for that, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
If you have some thoughts to share, you can do
so at three zero three seven one, three eight two
five five shan Man, you sent me a screen shot here.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
What do we got.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The woman who runs the department to Apparently, who's whose
amm was talking about. That's the CHA director, Jennifer Hoe,
a professor in the department. Now, it's no surprise in
a Seed of Boulder people's republic, right. I mean, we
know the political orientation virtually everybody on that campus. And
I've said it many times and I'll put that offer
out there again. If they want to truly diverse staff
(07:23):
on the faculty at see You Boulder and they want
somebody to come in to help with instruction on broadcast
performance writing, I'm your guy.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I'm your guy.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
I'm a straight white conservative dude who's worked in this
business over a quarter century.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I'm qualified. I'm rip rarin and ready. A lot of the.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
Students might hate me, that's fine, but I'm telling you this.
That would be a diverse hire, and that'd be a
smart hire by CEO Boulder.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
I'm not campaigning for a job here, I'm.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Just saying, if diversity is truly what they're looking for,
I'm your guy. Was that Ralphie? Is that what that was?
Shan I mean, I'm serious. Do they have somebody like me,
just a regular old white guy, Christian conservative straight mail
(08:14):
on their faculty. Do you think so? How many can
you count it on one hand? Can you count them
on one finger? That's all I'm saying. Okay, I knew
you'd go somewhere with that, But as far as fascist regimes, listen,
stop with the noise, stop with the nonsense, stop with
the bull blank.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Now, if we're having beers and Shan doesn't drink it anymore,
but if he and I were having beers and you
happen to join us, well you know the language that
you get because I take this issue very personally, and
you can hear it when you listen to Secretary of
State Marco Rubio, who is the son of Cuban refugees,
A first generation American, I am a first generation American
(08:54):
on my mom's side. My grandparents fled the communist dictatorship
of and Yugoslavia. Little Marco and Senator Ted Cruz as
well first generation Americans parents fled Cuba, a communist dictatorship
of squalor and complete disarray. The coastal liberal elite morons,
(09:20):
many of which in that category, reside on cu Boulder's
campus as well, by the way, have no point of reference.
They throw on their Shei Guavara t shirts. They think
they're cool. They believe that there's some kind of redeemable
quality within the tenets of socialism, which are a scourge
and an inherent evil. That's all that it is. And
(09:43):
if you need further proof of this, don't watch the
wealthy white chicks protesting in New York City or college
campuses or whatever that don't know their heads from a
hole in the ground.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Again, I'm cleaning up my language here.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Let's hear from an Arkansas resident from Venezuela and get
her take on the American mission to decapitate the Maduro regime,
to invade Venezuela and capture Nicholas Maduro.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Listen to her.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
Whatever situation you have ever lived in the United States
will never ever compare to the famine, persecution, and destruction
that we have entered to twenty six years. I had
friends that took whatever somebody threw on the trash and
(10:36):
tried to eat the leftovers. We see it as salvation, Honestly,
that's the way we see it.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
We see it as the opportunity to hog our family again,
you know, because I'm sorry. We fought way too hard
and we were either killed, run over by their tanks,
taken to preson and disappeared.
Speaker 7 (11:01):
People that I studied.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
With, they just disappeared.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
They just took them away, They vanished them.
Speaker 7 (11:06):
And I think it is terribly disrespectful for anybody to
tell the Venezuela how.
Speaker 5 (11:11):
We should react to that.
Speaker 6 (11:12):
I think is.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
Terrible disrespectful to the people that have died, saying that
Maduda shouldn't be where he.
Speaker 7 (11:19):
Is and there will be a day that is a family.
I'm gonna go hug them all again. Who we're going
to say that we make it, and that's because real
men in uniform went and took that man away, and
that is the truth.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Real men on behalf of the US military in a
flawlessly executed mission without losing a single life of a
single American troop.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
There were injuries sustained, but no deaths.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Mowing down thirty of Nicholas Maduro's thugs who are protecting
him in his position there in Caracas, Venezuela.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
I want to give this woman a hug, she says.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
We see it as salvation, the opportunity to hug Our
family again cites people picking through the trash. This is
the ultimate and inevitable result of socialism and communism, squalor, despair, hopelessness, fear.
There is no other destination on the path of socialism.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
That's where it all leads.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Be it Venezuela, be it Cuba, be a Yugoslavia, be
at the Soviet Union.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
That's just a fact of the matter. Jack.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
And then we hear somebody like this absolute mental midget,
Representative Sean Scott, Democrat, State of Washington Legislature. And thank
God for a journalist like Brandy Cruz because she's playing
the part of me here. Just listen to this bunk.
And again, this is one of those Shai Guavara T
(12:58):
shirt wearing social up with the revolution bs type of
dudes who's never been challenged in his way of thinking,
who's been inculcated in some kind of echo chamber on
a college campus most likely, and not brought to task
on the tenets of socialism which are completely destructive.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Listen to this bunk.
Speaker 8 (13:19):
I want you to give me one example of socialism
you think working well somewhere.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
A good example of socialism working well somewhere it's this
is a really really cool question. I think of Cuban particular,
very very high literacy rate, number one, number two, extremely
strong commitment to public health. Oh so that's one example
that I can think of that with great example pretty
much anybody in our state who cares about education or healthcare.
(13:45):
Would you disagree with that people flee.
Speaker 8 (13:48):
On makeshift rafts and die in the ocean to flee
Cuba for the United States.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
Yeah, And I think that that is something that absolutely
we have to be sensitive to. But you asked me
about institutions that are working really really well.
Speaker 8 (14:03):
About places socialism is working, and you chose a country
that people will risk their lives to flee from this
to this country.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
There's a reason for that, chump.
Speaker 9 (14:12):
There was a revolution in Cuba, that is correct.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
They still do it to this day. They show up
on the beaches of Miami because they would rather be
here and would risk their lives in shark infested water
to flee the country that you just gave me an
example of.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
And if if the situation were reversed, the injuries and
the ailments that they sustain as a result of migrating
to a place where they believe that they're going to
be better off. I believe that they can be treated
in a much better way than American health care facilities are.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
Currently able to treat people.
Speaker 9 (14:40):
So that's one example that I can think of. Oh
my god, socialism working no very well in public health
and in education.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
All right, all right, what else can you say?
Speaker 1 (14:52):
This guy is irretrievable from the dumpster fire of dumbness.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Well, if they did come.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
To this country to flee all the horror and awfulness
of the Cuban communist regime, they should at least get
better healthcare than what they left. My god, man, would
a person make a makeshift raft out of the door
or car carcass of a fifty seven Chevy, because that's
(15:20):
what they're driving around there on the island of Cuba
after the revolution one of nineteen fifty nine and Fidel
Castro in all of the absolute destruction that followed in
his wake.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
Create a raft.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Sail across those shark infested waters from Cuba to Miami,
set foot on South Beach somewhere in South Florida, and
thank God that they got there. If they get there,
because falling over the raft and into the ocean, to
be devoured by sharks is a preferable alternative to living
a life of absolute disaster and nightmarish circumstances in Cuba. Oh,
(15:58):
but they have a higher literacy rate, better healthcare.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Shut up.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
I don't think we've ever had a stronger nominee for
our Fool of the Week than Sean Scott, State Representative
of Washington.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
There.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
It doesn't stop there. Though, it doesn't stop there, Zorn, Mom, Donnie, Now,
I don't disagree with him on principle here, but real quick,
we'll get his take on the World Cup and whether
tickets to this event are affordable or not, and why
aren't they and if they aren't, what can he do
about it?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
As mayor of New York.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
City, I had in New York and the other day
come up to me and ask me if there was
any way I could help him get World Cup tickets,
because he was saying that the costs that he saw
for a game was six hundred dollars. Right, this is
increasingly out of reach. We have made what used to
be a working class game into a luxury experience, and
there are too many for whom it doesn't matter where
the World Cup is being played in the world. They
(16:51):
know where they're going to watch it. It's TV, and
we want to ensure that there are more experiences available
to each and ever New York.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I don't disagree with his premise. I felt this two
and the problem is we have a lot of what
I would call blue collar ascendant individuals in the United States,
and that's a great success story. One of those success
stories is our own Dan Caplis. Dan grew up with
nothing on the South Side of Chicago. His dad was
(17:18):
a hard working police officer. His mom was a stay
at home mom and homemaker. They didn't have, you know,
two Nichols to rub together. And Dan never forgets that experience.
It's what drives him to the success that he's enjoyed
in his career to this day. But now Dan can
not only afford, through Capitalist Law to have suites at
every major sporting event in Denver and CU Boulder if
(17:40):
he wants to. His law firm, Capitalist Law is the
official law firm of Ball Arena for both the Avalanche
and the Nuggets.
Speaker 3 (17:47):
That's great, that's great stuff.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
But what I'm saying is the Dan Caplis say the
nineteen sixties is a youngster and the Dan caplis that
runs capitalist law. Now are two very different people with
two very different means levels of means, and there are
a lot of those out there again, great American success
stories which have driven up the cost of tickets to
sporting events, the demand for those, the interest in those.
(18:10):
Because my dad was saying when his father would take
them to double headers at Tiger Stadium on Sundays, because
you got two for one. You got two games for
the price of one. And my grandpa was real frugal.
That the fan base was much more blue collar. Back then,
you didn't see kind of hoity toity types that worked
in corporate America going to sporting events.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
They didn't have that interest.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
But now that the baby boomers and a little bit
younger some Gen xers, let's say, have grown up, become successful,
but had that core root interest as working class Americans
in sports that stays with them. They're still at their
fundamental core, those people, but they have the means now
to pay what it takes to get the ticket prices
(18:53):
that these sporting events demand. So for Zora and Mandani
ensuring that World Cup tickets are availed, well all it
doesn't even apply to him. I think he forgets he's
the mayor of a city and he's not like a
governor of a territory, and there's nothing he can do
really to affect the prices of sporting event tickets. One
more here on the issues and tenets of socialism, what
(19:15):
a scourge they are, and why it is evil, and
why it is not only a law of diminishing returns
but a destination on the path to failure.
Speaker 10 (19:23):
I think the reality is is that for centuries we've
really treated property as an individualized good and not a
collective good, and we are going to and transitioning to
treating it as a collective good and towards a model
of shared equity. No will require that we think about
it differently, and it will mean that families, especially white families,
(19:48):
but some POC families who are homeowners as well, are
going to have a different relationship to property than the
one that we currently have.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
This is brain Rod, a different relationshi ship to property
than we currently have.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
This is CEA.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
Weaver, New York City Tenant Director under now new mayor
Zora Mundani, transitioning from treating property as an individual good
to a collective good. No rich people or poor people
from now on, we'll all be the same.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
Wait a minute, I got to think about that will
lead us two kings.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
You can find that on the Tadacious D album from
about twenty five years ago. By the way, I've seen
reports now that her own family, her own parents, live
in a one point six million dollar home. So here
we go with the liberal white guilt crap and that
we shouldn't have private property ownership in this country.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
One of the driving factors.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
Is to what makes us individual Americans with rights and
liberties and freedoms that we can call our own home
something that is one of our belongings, possessions and assets.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
They want to remove that.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
No, thanks, private property ownership is essential to maintaining the
dignity rights not just of white people, but she meant
people of color that have worked hard to buy their
own home, to have their own homestead, to own their
own property, to have their own backyard.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
That's the American dream, and they want to squash it.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
The timeout, We're back some based Fetterman to cleanse the
palette on Ryan Schuling Live after this and now everybody's
favorite Democratic Congress with another edition of Based Fetterman. That's
John Fetterman telling it like it is and somebody else
who does that'll be joining us in just a moment.
Jimmy Sangenberger, occasional fill in host on this program and
(21:38):
investigat columnist and writer for the Denver Gazette. Your thoughts
at three zero three seven one three eight two five
five your text as well five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
You can follow him at Saying Center.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Scnng cen t e Er. Jimmy Sangenberger our guest on
Ryan Schuling Live. Jimmy, Welcome back.
Speaker 11 (22:00):
Morning for happy new year, and congrats on the slot.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
Appreciate that, Jimmy. Looking forward to having you fill in
on the regular when I am out. So you're going
to be the go to guy for that in my opinion,
and I think I might have a say in that.
So talk to us a bit about your latest here
in the Gazette, David Weiss, I mean this curious story
here you say that jeffco Schools families deserve answers and
(22:26):
the title of your op ed is a year later,
still no accountability in Jeff Coast Schools.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
You would take it from there, please?
Speaker 11 (22:32):
Yeah? Remember a year ago, the big buzz was that
the chief of schools that would be the number three
in the district. In Jefferson County Schools, David Wise had
just taken his own life following an investigation into child
pornographic material, and this rock jeff Coost Schools, especially because
(22:58):
at the time it was the latest than what was
already a string of scandals of sexual abuse in Colorado's
second largest school district. But this time it was somebody
who wasn't just one of the top administrators, but was
involved with advising the district accountability committee that includes the
public and parents. On that committee, he was involved in
(23:22):
shaping and implementing the district so called trusted adult culture
and policies and different activities in the district, and so forth,
in making trust with teachers of this idea of a
trusted adult an institution as opposed to letting it naturally develop,
which is of course what's supposed to be essential for
(23:44):
kids is to naturally develop with adults a trusted relationship,
as opposed to, hey, find an adult that you trust
and make them your trusted adult. But he was also
involved in disciplinary evaluations and teacher evaluations as well. So
this is a guy who was heavily involved in intricate
(24:04):
things in the district into this day, Ryan, they have
not re examined all the different cases of sexual abuse
or related impropriety type cases involving teachers or staff that
Weiss was involved in. For example, the Columbine High School investigation.
He was aware of this student who had been groomed
(24:27):
for years by a teacher and then remember was declared
homeless under this federal McKinney Vento Act. And he was
involved in attending meetings on emails, knew about the communications
that were going on with the student and his teacher,
and didn't do anything about it himself. And yet again Ryan,
(24:50):
the district had not looked into these cases that one
or others that Weiss was involved in.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Jiv Steingenberger our guest with his latest a year later,
still no accountability in Jeffco's school. This is fruit of
the poisonous tree type stuff with David Weiss, as you
just mentioned, because he himself was embroiled in controversy which
no doubt led to his suicide with this child pornography racket.
And I believe he killed himself over on the East coast,
as I recall, If that's correct. And then the case
(25:16):
that you mentioned is just one of several Jimmy in
the jeff Coo School district, the grooming case in Columbine.
We know that Lindsay Dadco Jeffco Kids First has been
working diligently and very well, I might add an exposing
other types of leude in lascivious conduct within the school district.
And how do they get away with just kind of
(25:37):
trying to run out the clock here? I guess a
year later, Like you said, no accountability, nobody holding their
feet to the fire, other than maybe Lindsay Dadco, yourself
and the media. I'm not sure about the mainstream media
and the coverage that it's getting there.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
But is there.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Legal action that might force them to do so or
are we just kind of caught in a holding pattern
for the time being.
Speaker 11 (25:56):
That's an interesting question. In terms of legal action, I
don't know that would be I think what it'll come
down to is more public pressure. I mean, we do
have in Jefferson County School's three new school board members,
and if I were a jeff Co resident, I would
be getting on the phone, calling them up or sending
them emails saying please have the district look in to
(26:20):
re examine these cases. As you mentioned, Lindsay, Dadko and
Jefficool Kids First have done a fantastic job of really
spotlighting this. And I quote Lindsey in my piece, they've
identified some thirty three or so cases that Weis was
involved in or at least may have been involved in
(26:40):
investigating or what have you, because he was at the
district during that time of all of those cases. So
bringing that public public pressure to bear on new school
board members might help. Then again, there's only so much
that a board members willing to do, and they're new
on the board, so it's not just about letting them know.
(27:01):
It's also about keeping the public awareness out there, not
just through JEFCO Kids First or me or you, but
through everyday parents letting their fellow parents know about what's
been happening in Jeffco.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
And the true power belongs to the parents who are
also voters in that school district, in that county, And
when the time comes when the elections are on the ballot,
maybe this next year as well, they can vote for
the change that they want. If Jeffco continues to move
in well, no direction at all, right, Jimmy, Yeah.
Speaker 11 (27:33):
Well, and not only that it is so important now
when yesterday we got a big reminder of this gravity
of this crisis in Jeffco's schools and other school districts.
We've seen more stories come out of Douglas County, but
yesterday and Nevada high school teacher News Broke had been
arrested with ten counts of really just terrible, terrible charges
(27:58):
regarding children. No word on if any of the kids
that might have been victims of this alleged the suspect
were students in Jeff coost schools. But it has to
do in this case as I understand it with up
and Boulder. But this is a teacher out of high school,
I think, an English teacher and another instance of Jeff
(28:20):
COO's schools just royal time after time. And here's the thing.
I make this point in my piece. They say that
those who do not learn from history are doomed to
repeat it. The number one reason to look into cases
that David Weiss touched is not just that wife did it,
but whether or not there are lessons to be learned
(28:41):
from how they were handled in the past that can
help us now in moving forward.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
That's the key on the front lines of this reporting,
doing very important work. Jimmy Sangenberger his op ed you
can find it in the Denver Gazette a year later.
Still no accountability in Jeff COO's schools. Follow him on
Exit Saying Center, senng Center.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
See on teer.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
Jimmy, thanks for your time as always and great job
on the reporting once again.
Speaker 11 (29:05):
Thanks brother, Happy New year.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Happy New year to you. A time out.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
We're back your tax five seven, seven, three nine, your
calls three zero three seven one three eight two five five.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Still to come. Top of the hour.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
Joe Oltman now in the race for governor on the
Republican side. He'll join us for the first segment of
the nine o'clock hour here on Ryan Schuling Live. President
Trump there addressing members of Congress on the Republican side
at an event. This from listener Jennifer and Parker. Venezuela
Live updates. US Forces board oil tanker in challenge to Russia.
(29:40):
The US military intercepted a Russian flag tanker as part
of its pressure campaign against Venezuela. It also stopped a
second ship in the Caribbean, and Jennifer says, we're taking
tankers good.
Speaker 3 (29:52):
Because I'm going to present it this way.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Who do we trust more to handle the assets the
profits of Venezuelan oil, the richest oil reserves in the
world on the planet. Nicholas Maduro and his corrupt regime
of narco terrorists, Russia, China, Iran, an axis of evil
with whom Venezuela had diplomatic ties and alliances. A Russian
(30:16):
tanker absconding with Venezuelan oil, how much of those proceeds
profits would be going to the Venezuelan people. The Venezuelan
people are desolate and broke. The country is beyond bankrupt
outside of the power regime that was run by Nicholas Maduro.
(30:37):
President Trump. Caroline Lovett has confirmed this that yes, the
US is going to be running the oil racket for
Venezuela in the interim for the time being. The remnants
of the Maduro regime which remain in power and in place,
need to know that they answer to the Big Orange Man,
and that ultimately they will be replaced by free and
(30:58):
fair elections in Venezuela, by the people of Venezuela, who
will choose their own leaders, and they will finally be
allowed to enjoy the rightful profits of the oil industry
within that nation, rather than going to a corrupt regime
and the rest of the proletariat being boxed out. That
(31:18):
is the ultimate destination, as I said, of socialism and communism.
The very proletariat that these revolutionaries pretend to represent and
protect gum on the bottom of the shoe of the
quasi new neo bourgeoisie that ultimately manifests itself in the
(31:42):
form of a centralized government. They enjoy all the profits
those that are in power, and those that are not.
They don't even get the scraps they have to pick
off the garbage heap.
Speaker 3 (31:52):
They have to shoot pets in the street to eat.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
That's Venezuela today, but the Venezuela tomorrow, which is just
on the horizon. Find me one Venezuelan national, and I
presented one during this hour, a woman tremendously emotional who
lives in Arkansas, about what this means to remove Maduro
from power in that country and restore power to the people.
(32:19):
All of them are dancing in the streets celebrating this,
thanking President Trump and the United States for what they
have done.
Speaker 3 (32:26):
And there's no surprise as to why.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
This email to close out about my earlier conversation with
Representative Scott Bottoms and once again you can attend the
GOP candidate forum coming up this weekend at the Double
Tree by Hilton Greeley at Lincoln Park.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
It is sponsored by Wells Ranch.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
That's Steve Wells and will be mc by Wild County
Sheriff Steve Rahems, Mandy Connell, and myself will be moderating
the event with Representative Scott Bottoms, Senator Barb Kirkmeyer, who
you hear from tomorrow morning in lead up to this event,
and Teller County Sheriff Jason Mikexel. Those three top candidates
participating in this forum. But much of the chagrin apparently
(33:03):
of this email or who sends me this, when the
leading candidating quotes this is talking about Scott Bottoms has
to come on and spend time talking about he said,
she said, and name names but not all of them,
and describe all the dirty laundry crap. It just turns
people off. This is why the Republicans can't get anyone elected.
This guy hasn't talked about anything relevant to his plans
(33:23):
for Colorado. He has spent the whole show talking about
what he didn't say on a phone call, or who
he is trying to or who is trying to do
something unethical. Brief aside, Scott Bottoms was generous with this time,
and during the second hour, I think did outline a
lot of his plans and policy positions with me continuing though,
because I want to give this email a full voice,
(33:46):
I find it amazing that he smugly contends that he
is the runaway leader in presumptive nominee, but still gets
mired in the stupid infighting with other Republicans. You have
to appeal to the moderate centrist to win as a
Republican in Colorado. People like Bobert can win a highly
Republican district but largely repulses the centrists. You can love Trump,
but alignment with Trump will not winning Colorado. I don't
care about your religion, and I don't care about abortion.
(34:08):
I do care about undoing the californication that has occurred
in Colorado. If you can do that, spend all your
time telling us about that. Stop with the dirty laundry
and talk about what matters. John fuller Well said, John,
I'm going to tell you this. You're gonna have another
alternative coming up after the break. Joe Oltman will join us.
Conservative fire brand has thrown his hat into the ring
