Speaker 1 (00:00):
If you or your spouse have difficulty choosing what type
of food you want to go out to eat, go
on Amazon dot com now and search for dice for
type of food. It'll come up with various options, from
wood ones to steal, et cetera. And today some of
(00:22):
them are as low as just four dollars. Great way
to ease attention.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It's not gonna work because steak's gonna pop up and
she's gonna go No.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Right, it's just it's just an It's another step in
the whole process of finally getting the female in the
relationship to just tell us what you want to eat.
That's all we're asking, just what do you want to eat?
There there are a few times, not very often, that
(00:58):
there's something in particular I want to eat, and I'll
say it, I'd like to go eat Mexican tonight. I'd
like to go eat green beans tonight. Sometimes I do that.
It's okay, not always, but at least I've said this
is what I want to go eat.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The dice.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That's just substituting me suggesting things for the dice. Suggesting
things accomplishes nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I have made the mistake of going, hey, I'm going
to Taco Bell. Do you want anything? No, that's okay,
And no I don't want taco okay, So I go
to Taco Bell, get only what I want, bring it home,
and then she starts picking up my tacos, going this
is no, no, no, you did not want anything. This
(01:53):
is mine stay away.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Oh I'm sure that's what you say. This is my
stay away. You're making a second trip to Taco Bell?
Or now or now you're in the ca Now you're
in the cupboard digging out peanut butter and jelly.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I did that once, and I'm I'm still alive. Now
I know better if I go to Chick fil A,
I'm getting.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
How long was the recovery period?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'm smarter now I know. If I'm going to Chick
fil a, do you want anything?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
All right, extra chicken meal? Better bring home a Sunday too.
Vanilla shake, Vanilla shake. Gotta bring the vanilla shake.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And then of course you have the car fries on
top of that. Sure do so your your one meal.
It was going to be eighteen ninety five is now
thirty six ninety five because nothing, you know, you can't
you can't even go to the fast food crap old
places anymore, even for an individual, I guess unless you've
went to McDonald's and got the single the you know,
the little cheap hamburger, small rise of a small dyke coke.
(03:01):
I bet that's still ten bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Real quick, just because I can. Did Did Chick fil
A change their fries or how they cook them?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
They?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Why?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
They just I don't feel that there is crispy the
past few times that I've gone, and they just don't
quite taste the same. They changed the oil? They changed?
Did somebody somebody smarter than me? Did did chick fil
A change?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Which is the entire audience? Uh so, anybody the audience
answered this? Seriously, I haven't been chick flame quite a while.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Here's it just me?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Okay, you go the same chick fil A every time?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, Parker, okay, all right, we need to know did
chick fil A do something different? Now we're not gonna
look it up ourselves. That's what you're here.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
For, what we pay you for. They exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So the good news is, before I get into the
bad news, the good news is that the United Nations
Digital ID has a RYD. I don't see that's that's
the attitude to have. I don't many of you are
like squeamish kind of ooh, don't like this idea? Why
(04:07):
what could possibly go wrong with a digital identification system
that is developed and controlled by globalist elites who subscribe
to the Club of Rome philosophy that the world is,
you know, vastly overpopulated and we need to reduce the
number of people in the world by ninety percent. I
(04:28):
just don't understand why people are so upset about this,
and what are you worried about? I don't Maybe it's
just me. Did you find anything in that fifty five
seconds that bothered you? I mean it had you know.
It was really cute. She has a nice, pleasant voice,
(04:48):
The graphics were wonderful. I didn't find anything wrong with it.
So let's just analyze it for a second. Who when
she says how we managed? My first question was you
mean me, like, how do I manage? Or how do
(05:08):
they manage? That's my first concern. Then my second concern was,
what does the United Nations have to do with my id?
Are we now subjecting ourselves? Are we now genuflecting.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
To the great you know, Turtle Bay on the East Rivers?
That is that? What we're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
We're allowing them to now tell us the United States
of America, how we're going to use our IDs or
what kind of ideas we're going to use. That's the
second thing that one sent me into. How we're going
to listen to this closely access to platforms and buildings.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Now, if the.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Digital ID is going to give me access to platforms, buildings,
social benefits, whatever it might mean, everything that they listed there,
that means that someone has to on the other side
of that digital ID has to approve my access to
those platforms, which means they are the ones they decide
(06:18):
whether or not they get to access them. Hm. That's
a big ass problem for me. Oh, it's universal system wide.
It's called a hackers payday. All of your personal pay, medical,
all pension date all right there in the palm of.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Your hand.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
And their hand and their's, and there's and there's I
know that a lot of stuff that we virtually everything,
you know, I think about iHeart all of our payroll, pension, benefits,
everything is digital. But that's just iHeart. So iHeart controls
(07:13):
its flow of information about my benefits, salary, wages, blah
blah blah. Everything that's going back and forth between me
and that company. I don't want anybody else accessing that.
And in fact, you know, dragon's been quite a while
since we've gotten emails about watch out for this fishing
or or they sings. I haven't gotten a fake email
(07:35):
a long time, not a long time. If I have,
I've just deleted it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Now I've gotten more emails from corporate than the fake ones.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, giving you full control, giving them full control. You
get your biometrics on there too. This is fantastic, isn't it. Oh,
this is the utopia I've been waiting for.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Immutable.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Well, I don't think I've ever use the term immutable
on this program except to refer to immutable characteristics like
your race. But what's immutable about this? I'd say it's
completely mutable. It's not immutable. It's a totally mutable a
(08:18):
building block, meaning it's just the first of many steps
that we might take in controlling your life.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
The Common Sense Institute, which is one of the most
aptly named organizations in Colorado, is out with a study.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Real quick answer.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That last segment sound a little bit choppy on the podcast,
Just go check out, Michael says, go here dot com.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
You'll find that video there. Even that music.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Is it music that I put in there?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
That is this music? No, it's music I put in there.
The music.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yes, I sat down in the basement and they in
the studio last night and I strung my guitar and
put it on there.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Okay, do you doubt me very much?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
So? Well, okay, so I had I had my little
minstrul friend come over and do it, right, Yeah, I
had Joey come over and do it. Joey's a minstrel.
Joey said we could use it.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Michael says, go here dot.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Com because reasons, because reasons that I despise.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I despise them.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Anyway, they got to study, you know, they study all
sorts of topics, particularly primarily focused in Colorado. That's why
it's the Common Institute of Colorado. But they did one
about education, and I want to walk through it for
a little bit because it's absolutely infuriating. So let's start
(09:59):
with one undeniable fact that Colorado's public education system is
experiencing an unprecedented financial windfall. Yes, we're spending more and
more money than you could more money you could possibly imagine.
So you would assume incorrectly, you would assume that we're
(10:23):
getting some fantastic results from all this spending. Since twenty twenty,
total public education revenue from all sources increased by twenty
one percent. Education spending in this state went from fourteen
and a half billion, this is since twenty twenty to
seventeen point six billion dollars total spending followed suit spending
(10:48):
climb from this twenty four percent climb from fourteen point
six billion to eighteen point one billion. Those are record
breaking spending amounts by you and me as taxpayers in
this state, both at the state and the local level,
(11:08):
and all of that's been driven by policy changes and
rapidly increasing property taxes after the federal COVID relief funds
went away, which we knew they were going to weigh.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yet, all of.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
This fiscal generosity doesn't seem to be producing the results
that you would think it would produce. Enrollment in public
education in Colorado has declined five years in a row.
Student achievements slipped in twenty twenty five. There was a
brief improvement last year of Colorado's one hundred and seventy
(11:43):
eight school districts one hundred and sixteen loss students this year,
and one hundred and twenty, including the nine largest, served
fewer students than they did just a short five years ago.
Statewide enrollment and public education in Colorado is more than
three and a half percent below the peak in twenty twenty.
(12:06):
Per student spending now, remember, enrollment is down three and
a half percent. Spending per student surged forty eight percent
since twenty eighteen. Student per per student spending has gone
from eleven two hundred forty eight dollars in twenty eighteen
(12:28):
to more than sixteen thousand dollars today. So what are
you getting for that?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You're kidding?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Amazing results. Colorado ought to be the beacon for other
states on how to effectively and efficiently spend education dollars
so that we create a group of educated students that
can just go out and conquer the world, create new technologies,
(12:57):
create new efficiencies, up with new ideas that will improve
mankind beyond imagination. Because well, third grade reading in math
proficiency scores, they're slipping fewer than half. Fewer than half
(13:19):
of Colorado students now meet grade level expectations, even as
seventy one percent of Colorado schools earn the highest performance
rating under the current framework. Now that seems contradictory. Right now,
they're going to start these new finance formulas for the
(13:39):
twenty twenty five twenty twenty six school year, a new
finance formula adjusting district funding based on factors like counts
of special education students, English language learners, and at risk youth.
So in the first year alone, that will add more
(14:00):
than ninety one million dollars in new state education funding.
And then you add on to that house built twenty
five twelve seventy eight. That's going to reshape accountability. So
they're going to add a bunch of new testing standards
and obviously performance indicators. But to what end is that
(14:22):
really going to improve reading scores, math scores, science scores?
Is that going to get them maybe the grade level
with it, hopefully get them above grade level? This report.
Don't get me wrong, I admire them for doing this study,
(14:44):
but the study itself is infuriating. Declining enrollment is worse
than the Denver metro area, which lost more than six
percent of its student population since twenty twenty. The Northeast
region is the exception. In the Northeast region, out in
the eastern plains. It's grown every year since twenty twenty one. Now,
(15:07):
I don't know the reason for that. I could make
I could speculate one is people are moving away. They're
sick of the front range, so they're going out on
the western slope, They're going out on the eastern plains.
I do the same thing. But despite the growth in
that area that pays the least in teacher salaries, spends
the second least per pupil, and has the lowest graduation
(15:31):
rate statewide. Now the loss is most acute among young kids,
particularly in pre k and kindergarten, where enrollment fell seven
and eight percent, respectively since twenty twenty, even as.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
They're funding grew.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
So you're you've got a declining enrollment, increase spending, and
at the same time, guess what's happening. Oh yeah, scores
below grade level. If we could screw up stuff anymore
in Colorado, whether it be Rhodes bridges, highways, or education,
I don't know how they do it, but I'm sure
they'll find a way.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Hey, Michael, I know how to fix this entire problem.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Do what I do.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Cook. All women should know how to cook.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Because then they don't ever have to ask us for dinner.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
They can make it. Now.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I know that's stereotypical, but you know, I don't mind,
because then I'm in complete control.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
And you get to eat what I want to eat.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Just say, guess where we're going to dinner, And the
first guess she takes is where you go.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, I've heard that hack before. I can't recall as
to if I've tried it or not, but I think
she's also seen that on social media, so she's probably
wise to that. And the first thing cook will missus
Redbeard set the dishwasher on fire, so's she's not adept
in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Mm So, Cameron, you know we do eat out a lot,
but it's primarily on the weekends. During the week Tammer
cooks almost every evening. Now, she didn't last night because
she had been gone, Well I was gone. She was
up in Montana. I was in New York, and so
last night she didn't. You know, I just knew. Sometimes
I can tell by just opening the refrigerator and seeing
(17:17):
if they are you know, steaks or chicken or anything
falling out. But she's actually a fabulous cook. She does
really good. Now, the only thing that. And I'm not complaining,
but I'm just saying, but she cooks a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
There's just like, who have quantity?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, quantity like just too much? And did she some
days like if I have a business lunch, I tend
to come home and I'm not very hungry. So now
I come home and I've got you know, pork chops
(17:53):
and vegetables and scallop potatoes and you know, a whole
big plate and I have to pick up it and
kind of move it around like a kid, and you know,
and then try to.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Sneak it over into the trash.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know, there's a there's a to describe how Missus
Redbeard's cooks. There's a Rodney Dangerfield joke, and I'm sure
I'm going to bastardize it, but my wife's a terrible cook.
I didn't know toast, didn't I wasn't supposed to have bones,
the something long. I totally bastardized the joke. But that's just.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Makes me think of Rodney Dangerfield. So I just laugh.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And she she owns up to it. It's like, you know,
anytime she tries to make toast, you know, something terribly
could go wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Now, missus Redbeard works full time also, correct, Yeah, yeah,
whereas you may have a full time job, but you
don't work full time.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Oh yeah, of course, yeah, all right, and you cook
and she makes probably just more than twice what I do.
So I'm happy to be the house husband, do the
laundry and the cleaning and do the cooking. Yeah, I've
got no problem with that.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I used to cook a lot, and then I think
it was I used to cook all the time, and
then the DC stint that just went away.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah, when I was there half the.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Time by myself and the other half the time, even
when Tamara was living there, it was just too busy.
I mean, I was just too busy to cook. Yeah,
and I just didn't have time to cook at all anyway.
So even and she had a hard time with that
when she was there, because it wasn't like we could
have a fairly regular dinner time because I never knew.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
When I was coming home missus.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Raypert just texted me, she said, what does cook mean me?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's the guy in the kitchen at the restaurant. It's
getting the Chick fil a ready, That's who it is.
So yeah, I'm not complaining about I don't want to
sound like we go out to dinner every night. It's
just that whenever we do go out to dinner, like
we happened to last night, because of these circumstances, it's
just this, just.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Tell me what you want to eat because I don't care.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Because and again because I think if we lived closer
to Denver, where there's so many more choices, it might
be a little more complicated. But it's like, we don't
want to drive more than ten or fifteen minutes to
go to dinner. If that, and so then it becomes
this whole thing of it's the cuisine. It's not necessarily
(20:22):
the place because you know, well there's like fifteen different
Mexican places. There's two or three steak places, there's you know,
a bazillion Hamburger places. How I usually get her to
finally answer is when I can't get an answer, Okay,
we're going to McDonald's. That shuts it down. Now I
(20:43):
want to go here. That will get an answer.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You just start driving, let the car take you. And
we did see a couple of text messes coming about
the Chick fil a fries.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Oh I haven't seen it yet, yell yes.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
More than multiple people have said that they must have
changed the recipe even Yeah, yeah, that something is so
Exquishian's goody crispy anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
That's what made them great, Right, I want Crispy French fry.
Do you know how to get you know, the hack
to get crispy French fries at McDonald's request, No salt, Oh,
because then they have to cook a fresh bag. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
There was a recent article in the Guardian. This is
the story I've been planning to do, but I was
actually gonna wait till the end of October. But I'm
tired of waiting. And when you look at the forecast,
it doesn't look like we're gonna have between now and
the the hurricane season. It doesn't look like we're gonna
have thirty hurricanes every day, you know, for the next
or for forty five hurricanes for the next forty five days.
(21:42):
It's just not going to happen. But this was supposed
to be one of the most active hurricane seasons ever. Well.
What prompted this was an article in the Guardian humanitarian
visa must be created for Pacific islanders displaced by climate crisis.
(22:04):
Experts say, so, here we go again. Another alarmist narrative,
and this one is I'm gonna do the sea level rise.
We'll we'll do the hurricane stuff. Next is rising sea levels. Really,
(22:25):
they're not swallowing these low lying island nations tavalou kirbt no.
And they're not forcing my mass migration and requiring new
humanitarian visas for climate refugees to relocate to Western countries.
But that's exactly what they're pushing. The headline is hilarious.
(22:46):
I mean, humanitarian visas must be created for these Pacific
islanders that are being displaced by climate crisis, experts say.
The subheading calls for reform to allow people across the
Pacific threatened by climate crisis to more easily migrate, particularly
to New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Now, if I recall my geography correctly, I may be
wrong about this, but New Zealand is an island, just
like the Pacific islander. Islands are islands. So if the
climate crisis is displacing people on these small, tiny little
island nations, isn't the same thing happening to New Zealand. Now,
(23:33):
this article argues for international funding billions from of course,
the United States. They all want us to support this exodus,
and they frame it as some sort of moral imperative
in the face of inevitable submersion because of human cause
climate change.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Let's call it what it is.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
It's really just another attempt to try to get money
from us under the guise of a crisis that doesn't
even actually exist. So all these calls for all these
new visas cash flows, it's not even based on observable data.
It's rooted in exaggerated projections, and it ignores the resilience
(24:15):
of these atoll islands. Now, if islands were truly disappearing,
we'd see evidence in land area loss and accelerating erosion
on these island nations. Instead, the science shows the opposite.
Many are actually growing or stable. So it's not about
(24:35):
saving people. It's about leveraging the fear in order to
extract the resources, the money, you know, perpetuating a cycle
of dependency so that the activists and the policymakers pat
themselves on the back, They all their friends all make
money on this. The fear gets worse and.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Worse and worse.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
The poor, you know, Pacific islanders are sitting there like, oh,
we'll see, well, you don't care we're gonna give you
a v We're gonna give you a free visa to
go to New Zealand. Well I don't want to go
to New Zealand. Well you have to because Allen's disappearing. Really,
my house is in the same place, the tides are
the same and nothing's changed. Why satellite sea level data
(25:20):
shows suspicious upward adjustments and that coincides with new mission launches.
Have you heard of something like topex Poseidon to Jason
one that's ratcheting up reported rise rates without any of
the downward corrections that are necessary. Every noticeable jump in
the rate of sea level rise aligns with the transition
(25:43):
from one satellite to the next. Every new satellite corrects
the record upward, never downward. When you look at again,
you look at the trim lines, and you take a
trim line from nineteen ninety two two through twenty twenty
the global Means sea level seasonal signals. Now this is
(26:07):
when they change satellites, and the satellites are different colors.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
So the blue trend line, you know, continues upward.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Then the red side new satellite comes on and now
there's a downward trend, and then there's a green a
new satellite, Now the trend goes back up. Now you
get a new satellite, to train goes back down lip,
but the trend line remains the same. Tide gauges, which
are probably the most reliable metric, contradicts everything. There's a
(26:37):
peer review study that finds no significant celeration at ninety
five percent of the sites that are gauging the tides.
In fact, that's peer review study says the authors find
that about ninety five percent of suitable tide gauge records
show no statistically significant acceleration in the rate of sea
(27:00):
level rise. Now, of course you got you have local
dynamics too, subsistence, you know, like subsistence that'll explain the rest,
not global warming. So why the scary headlines Because acceleration
is firmly established in the manipulated satellite curve, not in reality.
And that's how they get the fear going.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Good morning again, your favorite here dragon. You're damn it.
I thought it was only me. Yeah, their fries suck.
Now I ask them for like make them extra crispy. Oh,
we don't do that. Well, so I don't know there
no more. Oh hey, have a good day.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Well they won't even you asked for extra. They won't
even do extra crispy fries for you.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
That sounds like an experiment. I may need to check
out for myself. Yeah, later today and oh three o'clock
when I get off.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
So before Tamer gets in the car and heads somewhere.
I had a solution that worked most of the time
to the food issue. I've done this maybe three times,
four times, so I don't know whether I'm pushing my luck.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Yet or not.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Uh she and she does. She gets the point where
we're gonna go eat right now. I'm hungry, I'm gonna eat.
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Where are we going? I don't know, So I just stay.
I just sit.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I don't move a muscle.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I don't move a muscle. And she she has even
been at the garage door. Are you coming? No, not
until you tell me where we're going to eat.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It sounds dangerous.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
It's very dangerous. It's very dangerous. But it's worked a
couple of days. It's worked maybe three, as I say,
maybe three four times. You might try that sometimes.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
No, No, I choose life.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And then there's this from Gouvernumber fifty five sixty six.
I love this and This drives me, baddie. It's it is.
Someone's done a skit about this. But as a Nebraska
farm boy, I love a good steak medium rare, of course.
No sauces, of course, No, you don't. All you need
is garlic, salt and pepper on your steak, and it
(29:12):
needs to be rare to medium rare. Beyond that you've
run a good.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
Piece of meat.
Speaker 3 (29:19):
But food is just a necessity. I have my favorites
at all the regular restaurants, and I can eat the
same thing every meal, was no problem. My brother in
law drives me nuts. He has to read the entire
menu that he's read before, then quizzes the waiter on
a dozen things before taking in another five minutes to decide.
(29:39):
That's like walking into the Taco Bell or walking into
the MacDonald's or the Chick fil A and you're in
line and they're just staring at the menu. It's like,
come on, it's freaking Taco Bell.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
They got tacos. Move, they got tacos and burritos.
Speaker 3 (29:54):
You've been in here a dozen times before, and if
you haven't, stay out of the line until you've read
the menu and then you can get them a line
are people in the grocery store that stop their carts
in the middle of the aisle and look, you know,
that's how they drive too, That's exactly how they drive.
If you or your spouse have difficulty choosing what type
of food you want to go out to eat, go
on Amazon dot com now and search for dice for
type of food. It'll come up with various options, from
wood ones to steal, et cetera. And today some of
(00:22):
them are as low as just four dollars. Great way
to ease attention.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
It's not gonna work because steak's gonna pop up and
she's gonna go No.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Right, it's just it's just an It's another step in
the whole process of finally getting the female in the
relationship to just tell us what you want to eat.
That's all we're asking, just what do you want to eat?
There there are a few times, not very often, that
(00:58):
there's something in particular I want to eat, and I'll
say it, I'd like to go eat Mexican tonight. I'd
like to go eat green beans tonight. Sometimes I do that.
It's okay, not always, but at least I've said this
is what I want to go eat.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
The dice.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
That's just substituting me suggesting things for the dice. Suggesting
things accomplishes nothing.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
I have made the mistake of going, hey, I'm going
to Taco Bell. Do you want anything? No, that's okay,
And no I don't want taco okay, So I go
to Taco Bell, get only what I want, bring it home,
and then she starts picking up my tacos, going this
is no, no, no, you did not want anything. This
(01:53):
is mine stay away.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Oh I'm sure that's what you say. This is my
stay away. You're making a second trip to Taco Bell?
Or now or now you're in the ca Now you're
in the cupboard digging out peanut butter and jelly.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I did that once, and I'm I'm still alive. Now
I know better if I go to Chick fil A,
I'm getting.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
How long was the recovery period?
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I'm smarter now I know. If I'm going to Chick
fil a, do you want anything?
Speaker 3 (02:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
All right, extra chicken meal? Better bring home a Sunday too.
Vanilla shake, Vanilla shake. Gotta bring the vanilla shake.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
And then of course you have the car fries on
top of that. Sure do so your your one meal.
It was going to be eighteen ninety five is now
thirty six ninety five because nothing, you know, you can't
you can't even go to the fast food crap old
places anymore, even for an individual, I guess unless you've
went to McDonald's and got the single the you know,
the little cheap hamburger, small rise of a small dyke coke.
(03:01):
I bet that's still ten bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Real quick, just because I can. Did Did Chick fil
A change their fries or how they cook them?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
They?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Why?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
They just I don't feel that there is crispy the
past few times that I've gone, and they just don't
quite taste the same. They changed the oil? They changed?
Did somebody somebody smarter than me? Did did chick fil
A change?
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Which is the entire audience? Uh so, anybody the audience
answered this? Seriously, I haven't been chick flame quite a while.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Here's it just me?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Okay, you go the same chick fil A every time?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, Parker, okay, all right, we need to know did
chick fil A do something different? Now we're not gonna
look it up ourselves. That's what you're here.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
For, what we pay you for. They exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
So the good news is, before I get into the
bad news, the good news is that the United Nations
Digital ID has a RYD. I don't see that's that's
the attitude to have. I don't many of you are
like squeamish kind of ooh, don't like this idea? Why
(04:07):
what could possibly go wrong with a digital identification system
that is developed and controlled by globalist elites who subscribe
to the Club of Rome philosophy that the world is,
you know, vastly overpopulated and we need to reduce the
number of people in the world by ninety percent. I
(04:28):
just don't understand why people are so upset about this,
and what are you worried about? I don't Maybe it's
just me. Did you find anything in that fifty five
seconds that bothered you? I mean it had you know.
It was really cute. She has a nice, pleasant voice,
(04:48):
The graphics were wonderful. I didn't find anything wrong with it.
So let's just analyze it for a second. Who when
she says how we managed? My first question was you
mean me, like, how do I manage? Or how do
(05:08):
they manage? That's my first concern. Then my second concern was,
what does the United Nations have to do with my id?
Are we now subjecting ourselves? Are we now genuflecting.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
To the great you know, Turtle Bay on the East Rivers?
That is that? What we're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
We're allowing them to now tell us the United States
of America, how we're going to use our IDs or
what kind of ideas we're going to use. That's the
second thing that one sent me into. How we're going
to listen to this closely access to platforms and buildings.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
Now, if the.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Digital ID is going to give me access to platforms, buildings,
social benefits, whatever it might mean, everything that they listed there,
that means that someone has to on the other side
of that digital ID has to approve my access to
those platforms, which means they are the ones they decide
(06:18):
whether or not they get to access them. Hm. That's
a big ass problem for me. Oh, it's universal system wide.
It's called a hackers payday. All of your personal pay, medical,
all pension date all right there in the palm of.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Your hand.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
And their hand and their's, and there's and there's I
know that a lot of stuff that we virtually everything,
you know, I think about iHeart all of our payroll, pension, benefits,
everything is digital. But that's just iHeart. So iHeart controls
(07:13):
its flow of information about my benefits, salary, wages, blah
blah blah. Everything that's going back and forth between me
and that company. I don't want anybody else accessing that.
And in fact, you know, dragon's been quite a while
since we've gotten emails about watch out for this fishing
or or they sings. I haven't gotten a fake email
(07:35):
a long time, not a long time. If I have,
I've just deleted it.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Now I've gotten more emails from corporate than the fake ones.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Yeah, giving you full control, giving them full control. You
get your biometrics on there too. This is fantastic, isn't it. Oh,
this is the utopia I've been waiting for.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
Immutable.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Well, I don't think I've ever use the term immutable
on this program except to refer to immutable characteristics like
your race. But what's immutable about this? I'd say it's
completely mutable. It's not immutable. It's a totally mutable a
(08:18):
building block, meaning it's just the first of many steps
that we might take in controlling your life.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
The Common Sense Institute, which is one of the most
aptly named organizations in Colorado, is out with a study.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Real quick answer.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
That last segment sound a little bit choppy on the podcast,
Just go check out, Michael says, go here dot com.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
You'll find that video there. Even that music.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Is it music that I put in there?
Speaker 4 (08:53):
That is this music? No, it's music I put in there.
The music.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Yes, I sat down in the basement and they in
the studio last night and I strung my guitar and
put it on there.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Okay, do you doubt me very much?
Speaker 3 (09:12):
So? Well, okay, so I had I had my little
minstrul friend come over and do it, right, Yeah, I
had Joey come over and do it. Joey's a minstrel.
Joey said we could use it.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
Michael says, go here dot.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Com because reasons, because reasons that I despise.
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I despise them.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Anyway, they got to study, you know, they study all
sorts of topics, particularly primarily focused in Colorado. That's why
it's the Common Institute of Colorado. But they did one
about education, and I want to walk through it for
a little bit because it's absolutely infuriating. So let's start
(09:59):
with one undeniable fact that Colorado's public education system is
experiencing an unprecedented financial windfall. Yes, we're spending more and
more money than you could more money you could possibly imagine.
So you would assume incorrectly, you would assume that we're
(10:23):
getting some fantastic results from all this spending. Since twenty twenty,
total public education revenue from all sources increased by twenty
one percent. Education spending in this state went from fourteen
and a half billion, this is since twenty twenty to
seventeen point six billion dollars total spending followed suit spending
(10:48):
climb from this twenty four percent climb from fourteen point
six billion to eighteen point one billion. Those are record
breaking spending amounts by you and me as taxpayers in
this state, both at the state and the local level,
(11:08):
and all of that's been driven by policy changes and
rapidly increasing property taxes after the federal COVID relief funds
went away, which we knew they were going to weigh.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Yet, all of.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
This fiscal generosity doesn't seem to be producing the results
that you would think it would produce. Enrollment in public
education in Colorado has declined five years in a row.
Student achievements slipped in twenty twenty five. There was a
brief improvement last year of Colorado's one hundred and seventy
(11:43):
eight school districts one hundred and sixteen loss students this year,
and one hundred and twenty, including the nine largest, served
fewer students than they did just a short five years ago.
Statewide enrollment and public education in Colorado is more than
three and a half percent below the peak in twenty twenty.
(12:06):
Per student spending now, remember, enrollment is down three and
a half percent. Spending per student surged forty eight percent
since twenty eighteen. Student per per student spending has gone
from eleven two hundred forty eight dollars in twenty eighteen
(12:28):
to more than sixteen thousand dollars today. So what are
you getting for that?
Speaker 4 (12:36):
You're kidding?
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Amazing results. Colorado ought to be the beacon for other
states on how to effectively and efficiently spend education dollars
so that we create a group of educated students that
can just go out and conquer the world, create new technologies,
(12:57):
create new efficiencies, up with new ideas that will improve
mankind beyond imagination. Because well, third grade reading in math
proficiency scores, they're slipping fewer than half. Fewer than half
(13:19):
of Colorado students now meet grade level expectations, even as
seventy one percent of Colorado schools earn the highest performance
rating under the current framework. Now that seems contradictory. Right now,
they're going to start these new finance formulas for the
(13:39):
twenty twenty five twenty twenty six school year, a new
finance formula adjusting district funding based on factors like counts
of special education students, English language learners, and at risk youth.
So in the first year alone, that will add more
(14:00):
than ninety one million dollars in new state education funding.
And then you add on to that house built twenty
five twelve seventy eight. That's going to reshape accountability. So
they're going to add a bunch of new testing standards
and obviously performance indicators. But to what end is that
(14:22):
really going to improve reading scores, math scores, science scores?
Is that going to get them maybe the grade level
with it, hopefully get them above grade level? This report.
Don't get me wrong, I admire them for doing this study,
(14:44):
but the study itself is infuriating. Declining enrollment is worse
than the Denver metro area, which lost more than six
percent of its student population since twenty twenty. The Northeast
region is the exception. In the Northeast region, out in
the eastern plains. It's grown every year since twenty twenty one. Now,
(15:07):
I don't know the reason for that. I could make
I could speculate one is people are moving away. They're
sick of the front range, so they're going out on
the western slope, They're going out on the eastern plains.
I do the same thing. But despite the growth in
that area that pays the least in teacher salaries, spends
the second least per pupil, and has the lowest graduation
(15:31):
rate statewide. Now the loss is most acute among young kids,
particularly in pre k and kindergarten, where enrollment fell seven
and eight percent, respectively since twenty twenty, even as.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
They're funding grew.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
So you're you've got a declining enrollment, increase spending, and
at the same time, guess what's happening. Oh yeah, scores
below grade level. If we could screw up stuff anymore
in Colorado, whether it be Rhodes bridges, highways, or education,
I don't know how they do it, but I'm sure
they'll find a way.
Speaker 4 (16:07):
Hey, Michael, I know how to fix this entire problem.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Do what I do.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Cook. All women should know how to cook.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Because then they don't ever have to ask us for dinner.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
They can make it. Now.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
I know that's stereotypical, but you know, I don't mind,
because then I'm in complete control.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
And you get to eat what I want to eat.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
Just say, guess where we're going to dinner, And the
first guess she takes is where you go.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yeah, I've heard that hack before. I can't recall as
to if I've tried it or not, but I think
she's also seen that on social media, so she's probably
wise to that. And the first thing cook will missus
Redbeard set the dishwasher on fire, so's she's not adept
in the kitchen.
Speaker 4 (16:53):
So that's it.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Mm So, Cameron, you know we do eat out a lot,
but it's primarily on the weekends. During the week Tammer
cooks almost every evening. Now, she didn't last night because
she had been gone, Well I was gone. She was
up in Montana. I was in New York, and so
last night she didn't. You know, I just knew. Sometimes
I can tell by just opening the refrigerator and seeing
(17:17):
if they are you know, steaks or chicken or anything
falling out. But she's actually a fabulous cook. She does
really good. Now, the only thing that. And I'm not complaining,
but I'm just saying, but she cooks a lot.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
There's just like, who have quantity?
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yeah, quantity like just too much? And did she some
days like if I have a business lunch, I tend
to come home and I'm not very hungry. So now
I come home and I've got you know, pork chops
(17:53):
and vegetables and scallop potatoes and you know, a whole
big plate and I have to pick up it and
kind of move it around like a kid, and you know,
and then try to.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Sneak it over into the trash.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
You know, there's a there's a to describe how Missus
Redbeard's cooks. There's a Rodney Dangerfield joke, and I'm sure
I'm going to bastardize it, but my wife's a terrible cook.
I didn't know toast, didn't I wasn't supposed to have bones,
the something long. I totally bastardized the joke. But that's just.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Makes me think of Rodney Dangerfield. So I just laugh.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
And she she owns up to it. It's like, you know,
anytime she tries to make toast, you know, something terribly
could go wrong.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
Now, missus Redbeard works full time also, correct, Yeah, yeah,
whereas you may have a full time job, but you
don't work full time.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Oh yeah, of course, yeah, all right, and you cook
and she makes probably just more than twice what I do.
So I'm happy to be the house husband, do the
laundry and the cleaning and do the cooking. Yeah, I've
got no problem with that.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
I used to cook a lot, and then I think
it was I used to cook all the time, and
then the DC stint that just went away.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah, when I was there half the.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Time by myself and the other half the time, even
when Tamara was living there, it was just too busy.
I mean, I was just too busy to cook. Yeah,
and I just didn't have time to cook at all anyway.
So even and she had a hard time with that
when she was there, because it wasn't like we could
have a fairly regular dinner time because I never knew.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
When I was coming home missus.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
Raypert just texted me, she said, what does cook mean me?
Speaker 3 (19:37):
It's the guy in the kitchen at the restaurant. It's
getting the Chick fil a ready, That's who it is.
So yeah, I'm not complaining about I don't want to
sound like we go out to dinner every night. It's
just that whenever we do go out to dinner, like
we happened to last night, because of these circumstances, it's
just this, just.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Tell me what you want to eat because I don't care.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Because and again because I think if we lived closer
to Denver, where there's so many more choices, it might
be a little more complicated. But it's like, we don't
want to drive more than ten or fifteen minutes to
go to dinner. If that, and so then it becomes
this whole thing of it's the cuisine. It's not necessarily
(20:22):
the place because you know, well there's like fifteen different
Mexican places. There's two or three steak places, there's you know,
a bazillion Hamburger places. How I usually get her to
finally answer is when I can't get an answer, Okay,
we're going to McDonald's. That shuts it down. Now I
(20:43):
want to go here. That will get an answer.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
You just start driving, let the car take you. And
we did see a couple of text messes coming about
the Chick fil a fries.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
Oh I haven't seen it yet, yell yes.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
More than multiple people have said that they must have
changed the recipe even Yeah, yeah, that something is so
Exquishian's goody crispy anymore.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
That's what made them great, Right, I want Crispy French fry.
Do you know how to get you know, the hack
to get crispy French fries at McDonald's request, No salt, Oh,
because then they have to cook a fresh bag. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:21):
There was a recent article in the Guardian. This is
the story I've been planning to do, but I was
actually gonna wait till the end of October. But I'm
tired of waiting. And when you look at the forecast,
it doesn't look like we're gonna have between now and
the the hurricane season. It doesn't look like we're gonna
have thirty hurricanes every day, you know, for the next
or for forty five hurricanes for the next forty five days.
(21:42):
It's just not going to happen. But this was supposed
to be one of the most active hurricane seasons ever. Well.
What prompted this was an article in the Guardian humanitarian
visa must be created for Pacific islanders displaced by climate crisis.
(22:04):
Experts say, so, here we go again. Another alarmist narrative,
and this one is I'm gonna do the sea level rise.
We'll we'll do the hurricane stuff. Next is rising sea levels. Really,
(22:25):
they're not swallowing these low lying island nations tavalou kirbt no.
And they're not forcing my mass migration and requiring new
humanitarian visas for climate refugees to relocate to Western countries.
But that's exactly what they're pushing. The headline is hilarious.
(22:46):
I mean, humanitarian visas must be created for these Pacific
islanders that are being displaced by climate crisis, experts say.
The subheading calls for reform to allow people across the
Pacific threatened by climate crisis to more easily migrate, particularly
to New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Now, if I recall my geography correctly, I may be
wrong about this, but New Zealand is an island, just
like the Pacific islander. Islands are islands. So if the
climate crisis is displacing people on these small, tiny little
island nations, isn't the same thing happening to New Zealand. Now,
(23:33):
this article argues for international funding billions from of course,
the United States. They all want us to support this exodus,
and they frame it as some sort of moral imperative
in the face of inevitable submersion because of human cause
climate change.
Speaker 4 (23:52):
Let's call it what it is.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
It's really just another attempt to try to get money
from us under the guise of a crisis that doesn't
even actually exist. So all these calls for all these
new visas cash flows, it's not even based on observable data.
It's rooted in exaggerated projections, and it ignores the resilience
(24:15):
of these atoll islands. Now, if islands were truly disappearing,
we'd see evidence in land area loss and accelerating erosion
on these island nations. Instead, the science shows the opposite.
Many are actually growing or stable. So it's not about
(24:35):
saving people. It's about leveraging the fear in order to
extract the resources, the money, you know, perpetuating a cycle
of dependency so that the activists and the policymakers pat
themselves on the back, They all their friends all make
money on this. The fear gets worse and.
Speaker 4 (24:54):
Worse and worse.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
The poor, you know, Pacific islanders are sitting there like, oh,
we'll see, well, you don't care we're gonna give you
a v We're gonna give you a free visa to
go to New Zealand. Well I don't want to go
to New Zealand. Well you have to because Allen's disappearing. Really,
my house is in the same place, the tides are
the same and nothing's changed. Why satellite sea level data
(25:20):
shows suspicious upward adjustments and that coincides with new mission launches.
Have you heard of something like topex Poseidon to Jason
one that's ratcheting up reported rise rates without any of
the downward corrections that are necessary. Every noticeable jump in
the rate of sea level rise aligns with the transition
(25:43):
from one satellite to the next. Every new satellite corrects
the record upward, never downward. When you look at again,
you look at the trim lines, and you take a
trim line from nineteen ninety two two through twenty twenty
the global Means sea level seasonal signals. Now this is
(26:07):
when they change satellites, and the satellites are different colors.
Speaker 4 (26:11):
So the blue trend line, you know, continues upward.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
Then the red side new satellite comes on and now
there's a downward trend, and then there's a green a
new satellite, Now the trend goes back up. Now you
get a new satellite, to train goes back down lip,
but the trend line remains the same. Tide gauges, which
are probably the most reliable metric, contradicts everything. There's a
(26:37):
peer review study that finds no significant celeration at ninety
five percent of the sites that are gauging the tides.
In fact, that's peer review study says the authors find
that about ninety five percent of suitable tide gauge records
show no statistically significant acceleration in the rate of sea
(27:00):
level rise. Now, of course you got you have local
dynamics too, subsistence, you know, like subsistence that'll explain the rest,
not global warming. So why the scary headlines Because acceleration
is firmly established in the manipulated satellite curve, not in reality.
And that's how they get the fear going.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
Good morning again, your favorite here dragon. You're damn it.
I thought it was only me. Yeah, their fries suck.
Now I ask them for like make them extra crispy. Oh,
we don't do that. Well, so I don't know there
no more. Oh hey, have a good day.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Well they won't even you asked for extra. They won't
even do extra crispy fries for you.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
That sounds like an experiment. I may need to check
out for myself. Yeah, later today and oh three o'clock
when I get off.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
So before Tamer gets in the car and heads somewhere.
I had a solution that worked most of the time
to the food issue. I've done this maybe three times,
four times, so I don't know whether I'm pushing my luck.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
Yet or not.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Uh she and she does. She gets the point where
we're gonna go eat right now. I'm hungry, I'm gonna eat.
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (28:17):
Where are we going? I don't know, So I just stay.
I just sit.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
I don't move a muscle.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
I don't move a muscle. And she she has even
been at the garage door. Are you coming? No, not
until you tell me where we're going to eat.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
It sounds dangerous.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
It's very dangerous. It's very dangerous. But it's worked a
couple of days. It's worked maybe three, as I say,
maybe three four times. You might try that sometimes.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
No, No, I choose life.
Speaker 3 (28:49):
And then there's this from Gouvernumber fifty five sixty six.
I love this and This drives me, baddie. It's it is.
Someone's done a skit about this. But as a Nebraska
farm boy, I love a good steak medium rare, of course.
No sauces, of course, No, you don't. All you need
is garlic, salt and pepper on your steak, and it
