W Well, then, how do you know? How do you

and you're right. Uh, my goodness is goober number fifteen twenty?
These three hours go fast? Where we used to listen

(01:31):
to you for four hours? Yeah, it's uh. I'm looking
at the clock going, whoa, And I know a lot
of you are looking at the clock going, is it
ever going to end?

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:42):
No, No, you'll you'll soon come to love us. Yeah
you will. I promise, I promise. You want to talk
about trucks for a moment, Let's talk about trucks for
a moment. Ford's over hype electric full size pick up
might be headed for the scrap heap of EV history.

(02:03):
It sure looks like that might be the ultimate decision
from the company c suite because of flagging sales and
pressure from investors that are tired of footing the bill.
Do you know what the the annual loss is for
Ford Fixed story pair daily found on the roadside dead

(02:23):
five billion dollars in annual losses in the company's Model
EEV division, The Wall Street Journal reported last Thursday, I
think it was that. And what made me think about
this story was I saw something on Facebook where an acquaintance,
I can't really say it's a friend an acquaintance on Facebook.
By the way, if you're not following me on Facebook, Instagram,

(02:45):
and Twitter, you need to do that on X I'm sorry,
excuse me, Elon it's X at Michael Brown USA, Go
give me a follow right now. The Wall Street Journal
was reporting that company executives are quote in act the
discussions about what to do about their they say, vaunted

(03:06):
electric truck for which there is really no demand now.
When Ford rolled this out onto the market in twenty
twenty one, Ford said its goal was to move one
hundred and fifty thousands, one hundred and fifty thousand of
these monstrosities yearly on an annual basis. They haven't even

(03:26):
made it into the ballpark of reaching that level. What
do you think that last year, how many units of
that truck were sold? Anybody want to take a guess
and got a number in your head. Thirty three thousand.
They were trying. When they rolled it out, they told
the country and their shareholders, we're going to sell on

(03:47):
one hundred and fifty thousand of these trucks on an
annual basis, and last year just sold thirty three thousand units,
and since then sales have slowed even.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Below that level.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
After Trump did away with California's suicidal ev mandate, isn't
that interesting? You mandate something and then you take away
the mandate and people go, oh, finally, I didn't want
that anymore. And he also eliminated the Inflation Reduction Acts
seven thousand dollars per unit subsidy as of the end

(04:22):
of September, So you take all of that away, Everybody goes, ah,
maybe I don't want to buy that truck after all.
It's amazing how economics works, isn't it. It's just like
the law of physics. The Adam Khrushar, I'm not sure.
I'm sure I'm bashardizing the name, but Adam he's the
owner of Lester Glenn Auto Group out in New Jersey.

(04:44):
In quoting he was quoted in the Wall Street Journal
said this, the demand is just not there. We don't
order a lot of them because we don't sell them. Okay, gosh,
a car dealer running his business on uh supply demand
principles in the face of massive marketing campaigns coming down

(05:06):
from corporate that's filled with I don't know, sugar plum
ferries or something.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
Look could have seen this one coming. And I know
I'm talking.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
About trucks, but stop and think about anything else where
you impose a mandate, and then on top of the mandate,
you subsidize. You create a false, fake market, and if
you don't really want that, you're going to look for
alternatives and you'll end up buying some other truck because

(05:36):
I don't want an EV and I don't trust the
EV yet. I mean, the battery technology is not to
the point yet where you can trust it to really
carry the loads that it's designed to load. And if
it does, for how long?

Speaker 2 (05:47):
How long?

Speaker 4 (05:49):
The Wall Street Journal said, that's a decision to cancel
the F one fifty Lightning. Actually, now, this is, according
to the Wall Street Journal, can spell the beginning of
the end of the US electric vehicle their attempts to
attrack consumers to a full size truck market, because they

(06:10):
note that, as we see every day, car makers are
struggling with their own dumb decisions to try to compete.
In that segment from the story comes this, no final
decision has been made yet, according to people familiar with
the discussions, but such a move by Forward could be
the beginning of the end for big EV trucks. Ram

(06:32):
truck maker stillants Jeep. Earlier this year called off plans
to make an electric version of its full side pick up.
General Motors execs have discussed discontinuing some electric trucks. According
to people familiar with the matter, sales of Tesla's angular
stainless steel cyber truck uglyistling on the earth. I'm sorry
if you have one, but I just think it's ugly

(06:54):
that tank. This year, and EV truck maker Rivian has
been cutting jobs to conserve cash. Riythian's also been doing
a lot of product placement. Tam and I were watching
some series about a kidnap and I'll sensibly a kidnapping.
I forget what streaming service service it was on, but
one of the main characters, the father of the missing boy,

(07:16):
drives a Rythan truck and oh, my gosh, did we
see Rivian. The camera would focus on the Rivian nameplay
and then slowly how we move away? Product placement still
not working?

Speaker 5 (07:29):
Mike or Michael listens Gooper eighty one hundred a P
one listener from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Want to welcome you
to K zero A. I'll be listening to you on
the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
I'm glad you're doing it. Let's get to the text line.
I'm gonna cover some texts. Remember the text numbers three
three one zero three three three one zero three.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Keyword is either Mike or Michael. You can just use
either one at the beginning of the text. You do
Mike or Mike. Yeah, you can be a smart ass
and do either one. Like that talkback we just heard.

Speaker 6 (08:04):
You don't have to use a keyword or anything on
a talkback that just comes straight to the station, straight
to me. But if you say Mike or Michael, it
just it's just.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
Irritating to me. So people do it to irritate me.
It makes Dragon happy. Uh, I love this. I've heard
your honest before. It honestly is one sided best for
journalists to admit that.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
I think a journalist should admit to their to their biases.
A journalist should try to be objective. Uh, that's why
I'm not a journalist. If if you tune into this
program and you expect to hear a journalist. Then you're
going to have uh a brain fart. You're gonna be like,

(08:49):
oh my god, what am I?

Speaker 2 (08:50):
What am I doing? What am I doing?

Speaker 4 (08:52):
I'm not a journalist. I don't pretend to be one.
I'm not one, never wanted to be one. That's not
my deal. My deal is to tell you what I
think about issues. And as I've told you, you know,
there's a guy that sat in this chair for decades
who always like to say to a listener to or callers,
but end up saying it. I want you to know

(09:13):
where I stand before I send. Well, I've told you
from the start of the program at nine o'clock this
morning that I am a right of center conservative slash
libertarian talk show host, and my point of view, my

(09:33):
POV is the cool kids say, is right of center. Now,
there occasionally when I will irritate people who are also
conservative or libertarian because I might dwell, you know, kind
of cross over a little bit.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Onto the other, to the dark side.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
But I'll tell you exactly why, because neither side has
some sort of lock on being right or wrong. But
I take it from a conservative point of view. So
if that's not your thing, that's not your thing. But
if your thing is you want to learn what conservatives

(10:09):
slash libertarians believe and you want to hear the rationale
and the reason and the logic behind that, then you're
in the right place. And I would encourage you to
stay and do that, because you know, what, where do
you think I get most of my material. I get
most of the material that i'd like that I like
to talk about.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
From over there.

Speaker 4 (10:30):
Yes, goober number seventeen fifty seven, Michael, welcome back to
the mothership. It is a mothership. We actually have a
seed that works too. Dragon word how long it'll last?
It's comfortable. Yeah, I could just sit here all day.
That blond chick from used to be from across the
hall that now you know comes in after me.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
You're the guy. You're a guy from across the hall.
Now I'm the guy. That's right, I'm the dumb ass
from across the hall. That's who I am.

Speaker 4 (10:58):
Let's see seventeen forty eight, Michael, big ass assumptions. I
see what you did there?

Speaker 3 (11:02):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Yes, and oh and a break time. One thing I
haven't heard anyone this is sixty four or fourteen. I
haven't heard anyone ask why they are forty million on Snap? Okay,
why are there forty million on Snap?

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Frannie? Speaking of trucks, you couldn't hide from me. I'm
still here. Good morning, Michael and Dragon.

Speaker 3 (11:25):
Welcome to a new time slot on KOA. I have
been trying desperately to give up some vices this past
a couple of months.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Something like that.

Speaker 3 (11:35):
Everything that I love seems to be killing me some
way or another. Whiskey, women, nicotine, and foul language. If
you could just hit a man with some curse words
or some cackles, yes, some kambala cackles, please hit me
with them. That really helped me.

Speaker 4 (12:01):
You, mister producer, are what we refer to as an enabler.
I don't know what you're talking about. He's trying to
get rid of those vices.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
He asked for it.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
So the guys, the guys that went the fentanyl over
here behind the McDonald's at Bellevue and Quebec, are desperate
for fentanyl, and so they asked for it. I'm supposed
to give it to him. By the way, if you
want to avoid the cackles, make sure you always leave

(12:34):
a talkback.

Speaker 2 (12:35):
We need talkbacks. Yep, you can do it. I I
can't decide whether to explain it or not. No explanation,
no explanation.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Okay, Zoe Fram, Mom Donnie, did you take any Zoe
Fram this morning?

Speaker 2 (12:58):
Because because I knew I was gonna work with.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Me, because we show up together again, Zofram Mondani will
be officially sworn in as I think the second young
I may be wrong about this, but no, no, Remember
somebody said I I'm full of myself.

Speaker 2 (13:14):
I'm never wrong. I'm more wrong than you can imagine.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
I think he will be the second youngest mayor in
the history of New York City, behind.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
A guy by the name of Hugh Grant. No, not
that Hugh Grant, but Hugh Grant.

Speaker 4 (13:32):
He'll be thirty four years old when he's sworn in
on January one, and I think he actually is sworn
in on January one. Dragon will be out partying, but
Zofram will be getting sworn in. Interestingly, both of these
young y'all who's represented the Democrat Party as the mayor
of New York City. But I would argue that Zoefram,

(13:55):
Mom Donnie's version of Democrat is really a far cry
from Hugh Grant's version of the Democrat Party. And to
that point, Mamdanni is a member of the Democrat Socialists
of America. He's a midtly a member of the DSA.
Go look at the people accuse me sometimes of overusing
your word Marxist and communists. I know none of you

(14:18):
would ever do that, particularly those of you who think
that you're, oh, I'm I'm right down the middle of
the road. Bull crap. Nobody's down the middle of the road,
and you know it. You just like to pretend you're
down the middle of the road. Go look up Democrats
Socialists of America and then tell me that that's what
you stand for, that that's what you believe, because then

(14:38):
I'll say, yes, you're a Marxist, you're a communist. So
unlike the traditional old school liberal Democrats who often tried
to hide their socialist event and sometimes really didn't even
have one, they were just like, oh, big government can
fix a lot of stuff. Zofram is an avowed socialist,
and he actually sees capitalism as the problem and big government, socialism, Marxism,

(15:02):
communism has the answer. In fact, he said that in
his speech, we will prove that there is no problem
too large for government to solve, and no concern too
small for it to care about. And somehow the no
Kings people are out there protesting, we don't want he kings.
You just elected a guy who already thinks of himself

(15:23):
as a king. I find it freaking hilarious. So the
question is it's a serious question. How much change and
how much damage can Zoe Frawnmandanni, Mom Donnie actually impose?
Can he really make the city's buses free? Can he
really make childcare free?

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Can he?

Speaker 4 (15:45):
Well, first of all, let's think about the word free
just now. For those of you who've listened to me
for over the years, do you know what kind of
despise the word free? Because there is nothing that is free.
Somebody somewhere, somebody along that chain, somebody pays for it.
But he wants to sell free buses and free childcare.
Which is why you like to use the free to

(16:07):
you iHeart Radio. I tried it is free to you
iHeartRadio app because well, we pay for it, yes we do.
In fact, we pay so much for it that they
don't pay Dragon and I enough so that you get
so that you can stream us and so that you
can leave talkbacks. So there, so I guess we do
get a benefit from it. Although isn't it good to

(16:27):
our truck drivers still out there listening?

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah? Come on, admit it, no coming, Yeah, you were
worried about it.

Speaker 4 (16:36):
Can can Zofram set up a bunch of city run
grocery stores? Can he force rent freezes across the entire
five boroughs of New York City? In short, I would ask,
can he actually do what he campaigned on doing?

Speaker 2 (16:50):
Now?

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Obviously, when you're campaigning your answers to very complex issues
that played in New York City. I was just there
a few weeks ago, the answers are pretty simplistic and
they're pretty unrealistic. I hate to say this, but I
think Andrew Cuomo kills old people. Was right when he
observed Mom Donnie during the last debate and said their quote,

(17:13):
there is no reason to believe you have any merit
or qualification for eight point five million lives. You don't
know how to run a government, you don't know how
to handle an emergency, and you literally never proposed a
bill on anything that you're not talking about in your campaign.
Cuomo might be a little careful about, you know, qualification

(17:35):
for taking care of eight point five million lives, because well,
he killed a lot of old farts, But Mom Donnie
really has he really has never run anything other than
this winning campaign. So think about his experience, his actually
his inexperience he certain they experience. Think about his inexperience.
How successful do you think he can be? And more importantly,

(17:58):
how much power will he have to well he have
in order to effect the changes that he has told
the voters that he would make. Now, this is going
to be really interesting to watch because when you look
at the the voter turnout predominantly eighteen to thirty five
year olds, and I think it narrow down even further

(18:19):
twenty one to thirty five year olds who voted for
him in record numbers. Now, New York is a heavily
like eighty ninety percent Democrat city, but they voted for
him on the belief that he was going to deliver
all of these lollipops and rainbows, snow cones. Everything was

(18:40):
going to be free, even the grocery stores, government run
grocery stores. Wait a minute, can he do that? Because
here's where Mom Donnie's refusal to endorse the current governor
of New York, Kathy Hochel, in return for her clearly
less than enthusiastic endorsement. It's probably going to come back to.

(19:02):
In fact, not only May, but has come back to
bite him. I give you an example. New York City's
trains and buses fall into the purview of the state
run Metropolitan Transit Authority. That's a state agencies. The members
are appointed by the governor, the CEO of the Metropolitan
Transit Authority. Someone by the name of John o'dieber said

(19:26):
that the transit agency doesn't treat New York like it's
doctor Frankenstein's lab. Let's just attach the electrodes and just
see what happens. I kind of like that phrase because
that's kind of what socialism and Marxism communism does. Hey,
we've never had the right people do it before, but
we are the ones. Remember Obama told us that we
are the ones that you've been waiting for. No, I

(19:46):
haven't been waiting for you. I've been dreading you, is
what I've actually been doing. But he is like going
to just attach the electrodes to doctor Frankenstein the five
boroughs of New York.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
He's going to see what happens.

Speaker 4 (19:59):
In other words, he does not have unilateral authority to
simply implement his free buses policy. And if he's going
to see any movement on that front, at the very least,
he's gonna have to get Kathy Hockle on board. Which
brings me to this breaking news. Governor Hokel has announced
that the state budget of New York cannot, let me

(20:22):
emphasize that again, cannot accommodate the free buses program being
proposed by the socialist New York City Mayor le zofram
Mon Donnie. Now, she did endorse Mom Donnie in his
in her campaign or in his campaign. She made the
comments during a political conference in Porto Rico on Saturday. Now,

(20:45):
you might ask payment what's she doing at a political
conference in Puerto Rico, because there's a lot to.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Puerto Ricans in New York City.

Speaker 4 (20:54):
She said, and I quote, I cannot set forth a
plan right now that takes money out of a system
that relies on the fares of the buses and the subways.
When we've reached the point in this country where you
have to be the master of the obvious, where you
have to state the obvious in order to let some

(21:17):
dumb ass, thirty four year old god that's never done anything.
A Ugandan Marxist claimed he's going to provide free buses.
Guess what, he doesn't even understand that he doesn't have
the authority of the power to do that. Now I
get don't get me wrong. He's got the power persuasion.
He can what set off riots. Tell all of those
eighteen to thirty five year olds that voted for him, Hey,

(21:41):
take out your trash and dump it all on the
streets in New York City. Well, that's not going to
do anything. The garbage piles up all the time on
the streets New York City anyway. And then Hoko went
on to highlight a three billion Medicaid deficit and of
course all the federal funding cuts as obstacles to implementing

(22:03):
his proposals. She said, and again I quote, our ambitions
are big, and I believe in them, and I want
to accomplish them. But we also have to figure out.
Now I'm in the whole three billion dollars already just
on Medicaid cuts. The promise of free stuff I thought

(22:28):
was the stuff of high school student council candidates. I
thought that if you were running for student council president,
that you offered you promised free pizza on Fridays, no
homework on the weekends. But that kind of bull crap
meets the reality of the real world, and Hochel, who

(22:50):
oversees the Metropolitan Transit Authority, eliminating fairs for New York
City buses will put the state and the city in
an even deeper budget hole. So while the Ugandan immigrant
had previously secured a pilot program for now, I want
you to think about this one free bus in each

(23:13):
city borough in twenty twenty three. That's what he promised
back in twenty twenty three. Now he never made he
never fulfilled the promise, But I want you to let's relate.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
It to the Front Range.

Speaker 4 (23:26):
It would be like Jared Polis or Mike Johnston, one
of them promising, Uh, we're gonna tell RTD there'll be
what one free bus in each of the cities along
the Front Range. So if you live in Boulder, you
get a free one free bus. If you live in Broomfield,
one free bus. If you live a Long mount one

(23:47):
free bus. If you live in Westminster, one free bus.
If you live in Denver, one free bus if you
if you live in Centennial, one free bus if you
live in Aurora, one free bus. If you live in
Highland's Ranch, one free months. Littleton Inglewood won free bus.

Speaker 2 (24:02):
That's it. No, he's asking for money too.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
Oh yeah, Zen's already asking for money. Let me see
if I can pull that up for your ross. Oh
he's begging for it.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
He's already got his ten cup out. Yeah, here we go. Well,
he's asking for money for his transition team.

Speaker 6 (24:20):
Right, his money's not fungible.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
Well, yes, And what I find funny is you have
to ask for money that you just got elected by
an old you know, a majority, what was it fifty
point nine percent or he got over fifty percent of
the vote, and he's having having to ask for money
for donations to fund the staff for his transition. Holy cow,

(24:45):
this guy's a bigger loser than I thought he was.
So anyway, Hokle has also addressed Mom Donnie's push for
free universal childcare.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
Wait a minute, Colredo, I'm looking at.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
You, free un versal childcare, and he noted that that
kind of program would require time to phase in. Why Well,
because one, they don't have the money to pay for
it up front. They don't have the trained workers, they
don't have the facilities.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
They don't have anything they.

Speaker 4 (25:16):
Need to provide free universal childcare for every kid that's
in the five boroughs.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
But this shows you how truthfully ignorant.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
Bruthfully ignorant generations behind us old fart boomers really are.
They think the free stuff is really free, and they
think that he can just easily implement this. And then
she said, but can we find a path to make
it more affordable for people who need help? Well, of

(25:48):
course we can, she claimed. So what she doing She's
trying to have it both ways. She's truly trying to
have it both ways. Now, what's mom? Donnie's answered this
to be to be objective. Let's see what he has
to say. Because his answer, of course, is he wants
to tax the rich. They all want to tax the rich.

(26:12):
I know you may be thinking, well, that's okay, Michael,
because that doesn't include me. It doesn't include you today
because you make more than let's just say, two hundred
thousand dollars a year. With inflation the devaluation of the
dollar continuing, pretty soon you'll be making three hundred thousand
dollars a year. There won't be any changing tax brackets
or anything else, and pretty soon you'll be making that

(26:33):
kind of money. Or let's say you're making sixty five
thousand dollars a year, but we only want to tax
those that are making one hundred thousand dollars a year.
Trust me, at some point you'll be rich. And even
if you never make more than sixty five or fifty
five thousand dollars a year, or hell's mails, you're making
twenty five thousand dollars a year, at some point they're
going to tax you too. Tax the rich is a
BS line. Oh, I almost forgot. He's the mayor. He

(27:00):
doesn't have any authority to let any new taxes. That's
the purview of the state Assembly in Albany, which importantly
also would require the signature of oh a governor. And
she wants to get reelected. So I doubt that she's
going to do that. I cannot. She says, set fourth

(27:21):
a plan right now that takes money out of a
system that relies on the fares of the buses and
the subways. Then again, Master, the obvious bottom line is
simply this, Mom Donnie is incredibly dangerous, and not just
because of his policies. Mom Donnie is incredibly dangerous from
a branding standpoint. Want you to look around at Colorado.

(27:46):
Many of you are new to this audience. How long
have you been living here? Have you seen the changes?
Because when they implemented the blueprint, when Striker and all
of them, Striker and Polis and Ken Gill all came
out with the blueprint and they showed how over you know,
just ten years or less, we're going to take over.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
Colorado, and they have.

Speaker 4 (28:09):
And now we're approving things like, oh, we wanted free
lunches and free meals three times six times whatever it
takes a day to feed a kid. And what happened.
It passed, It passed. It's going to cost us money.
We're already in a budget hole. Look around. I challenged
this new audience to do what I've challenged my other

(28:32):
audience to do. When you drive around Denver, looked closely.
Don't just stare at the car in front of you,
and don't just scoot down the twenty five or the
two seventy or wherever you're driving. Really look closely and
see how over time this place has truly deteriorated because
of the policies that emanate from the Pullet Bureau at

(28:56):
Colfax Broadway or Colfax Lincoln, wherever you want to look
at it, it's those policies, and it will be these
policies that will unilaterally turn the Big Apple Apple into
a socialist hell hope. And ironically, we can thank all
the trappings of government that make changing things so frustration

(29:16):
frustrating and so long and slow to take effect is
actually a blessing. Interesting that we all get upset because
the government shuts down because they can't reach an agreement.
Yet had they reached an agreement, had both sides capitulated
and done what the other side wanted, we'd be facing

(29:37):
even larger budget deficits. And that is true at the
federal level, state level, and the local level. Sometimes, even
though it's painful, you look around at what the founding
Father's designed in terms of this unified government that has
three branches that are separate, the whole concept of a

We're Illinois, We're in New York. It's happening everywhere. It's
happening even in red states like Texas. If you understand Texas,
you understand what's going on in places like Dallas, in
San Antonio and Austin and Harris County where Houston sits,
you'll understand that. Slowly but surely, that blueprint that started
in Colorado is spreading all across the country, and it's

(30:45):
being fed by the non government organizations and others that
go out and push like in the homeless industry. They
themselves go out and use taxpayer money that gets funneled
out to the NGOs to campaig things like the big
bond deal in Denver that passed. They're using all of that.

(31:06):
So that's the program. I want to say, give this
program time and if you don't like it, fine, If
you do like it, that's great. And remember you can
text any time of day or night. Numbers three three,
one zero three keyword micro Michael. I'll see you tomorrow.
