12-16-25 - 10am - Ford EV & EV Busses and Republican Leadership in Colorado

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Do you have any information regarding whether any of the
survivors of the shooting yet Brown saw the shooter.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
I do not.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
I honestly haven't paid a lot of attention to the
Brown shooting, not for any particular reason, just that it's
an ongoing criminal investigation. Brown University is a very small
in terms of its footprint, is a very small maybe
a quarter mile by quarter mile square. It's in Providence,

(00:37):
it's it's it's a small place now on the campus
once or twice. That's been years ago, and I don't
remember much about it. Oh, let me remind you. The
text line for this program is what mister Redbeard three
three one oh three. That's correct? Three three one zero

(00:59):
three three three one zero.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Three text micro Michael to start off your message. Yes,
keyword micro Michael.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Because well I just noticed because they left the old
I'll just freely admit they left the old text lineup
here and it's open and I just glanced at it. Uh, Yep,
you got the wrong number, three three one zero three,
keyword micro Michael.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Got it? Mark it in your message app.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Come on, Oh, I think you you can pin it
to any of your favorites.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
You could you know what, we should be one of
their favorites. How many favorites on an iPhone can you have?
I think as many as you want. I have no idea.
Well I think I have three, but I think you can.
I think no, wife, daughter, son.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
I was thinking Lienburger, Lienberger, and then I was trying
to figure out who the third was.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
A camera.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
No, No, it's uh, it's McDonald's order.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
What it is.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (02:04):
Yesterday, both The Wall Street Journal and CNBC published somewhat
similar headlines. Ford the Motor Company found on road dead
fixer Repair Daily to record nineteen and a half billion
dollars in special charges as it pulls back on their
electric vehicle plans. Ford expects to record about nineteen and

(02:28):
a half billion in special items, mostly during the fourth quarter,
they said Monday. The charges are related to restructuring of
its business priorities and a pullback in its all electric
vehicle investments. And let's see, that's that's the CNBC story.
That's pretty much all you need to know. Well, I
guess I would say that the day of reckoning for

(02:48):
Ford Motor Company's decision to feed whole hog at the
Biden subsidy trough finally came to an end yesterday. They
were just up and down the trough. They cut to
the end of it. No, I can't. I got my
throat all screwed up.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
I mean, they put a lot of money into that lightning.
And for the people that like trucks just to say
that they have a truck, sure, go ahead, get a
Ford lightning. They're probably really great. But if you're getting
a truck to get a truck truck, truck to hall stuff, bad.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Idea, bad idea, bad idea.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
If you want one just for the sake of Hey, look,
I've got a really cool looking truck, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
I don't look I've actually seen that. Of course I'm
not looking. If I start looking, maybe I'll start noticing.
I don't think I've ever seen. I don't think I
can tell you what a Ford lightning looks like. Does
it look like a F one fifty or what it does?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
It does?

Speaker 4 (03:47):
But does it say does it it says lightning on
the back or on the side, And like on.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
The back is he says the Bolden in Boston light
I think it.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Still just says F one fifty And then in the corner,
says Lightning. Don't quote me on this kind of stuff.
I'm pretty sure, but it just looks like a really
cool new truck.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Do they come in black and gray or just like pink.

Speaker 4 (04:10):
Pastel, whatever color you want, or Michael, whatever.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Color you want.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
So they their decision, well it wasn't was it their
decision or did they really just come to the end
of the trough and there were no more subsidies, So
the decision was made for them. Because whether it was
their decision or the fact they ran out of the
subsidies in materialized in the form of almost twenty billion

(04:38):
dollars in special.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
Charges as they recognize.

Speaker 3 (04:42):
That they've got to reorganize and write down their stupid
investments in high dollar battery electric vehicles like that Lightning
and the Mustang mock e. You know, I never I've
driven Mustangs, but I've never owned a Mustang. But it
just seemed sacrilegious to make a Mustang into an EV.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Now when I.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Think it's also a Ford or that Ford Mustang that
the new EV, Well, you can put what you're.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
A little you'll rag at the end all on the
back seat because that's all it would fit in the
backseat of the last Ford Mustang.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I was in.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
No, it looks almost like a like a crossover suv.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
And then when I when I reached out to my
son in law, who's the kind of the car guy
in the family about you know, I was going to
trade them the m Sport. He was trying to convince
me that portion now makes I don't know whether it's
a boxer or a carrot or whatever whatever it is,
that they have an ev one that he's actually thinking about.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I texted him back and said, are you out
of your mind?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
And he goes, eh, you know, I thought I'd just
try him, because he trades like every year or something.
I might just try it, or maybe I'll get it
for my you know, my daughter, for his wife. And
I thought to myself, I think you should have that
conversation first.

Speaker 4 (05:57):
And if you're kind of enough money for the Porsche,
I don't think you're getting it for you know, the
cross country road trip. So it's probably a second or
third car anyway.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
So well, he drives back and forth to work in Scottsdale,
which is I don't know, maybe a ten mile commute,
so yeah, maybe so, but he's still a he's a
heavy foot driver, He's going to eat up that battery.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
I don't know anyway.

Speaker 3 (06:20):
I think that it's going to reorganize its alternative vehicle
of investments around making lower price evs and hybrid versions
of its internal combustion models. A somewhat amazing eight and
a half billion of the nineteen and a half billion
dollars total is going to come in the form of
a write down of the company's EV investments, including canceling

(06:44):
a next generation of large all electric trucks in exchange.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
For smaller, more affordable evs.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
And then trying to rebalance its investments in their core
products such as trucks and SUVs. Now again, going back
to the CNB story, hilariously, they report that the company's
stock price act. What do you think their stock price
did when they announced So here's a company that has
been feeding at the troph of subsidies. They realized the

(07:15):
subsidies has come to an end. They also realized they
got a lot of stock on their lots and they
can't sell. So they're gonna write down twenty billion. They're
gonna write down twenty billion dollars in charge offs. What
do you think the stock does.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
It probably fell a little bit.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
No, it went up.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
It went up because I here's my take. I think
that the market recognized how Morban forged prospects have become
under the deaf guidance of CEO Jim Farley and his
rent seeking management team all pursuing all of these subsidies.

(07:54):
And now that that's kind of come to an end,
I think investors realize, oh, they're going to get back
to actually banking cars and trucks that run on gas.
So maybe I'll buy this because the stocks probably on
an increase over time. Here's an excerpt from the CNBC
CNBC story. Farley told CNBCS fill Lebou the last couple

(08:16):
of months have been really clear to us. The very
high end evs, the fifty thousand, seventy eighty thousand dollars vehicles,
they just weren't selling Ford. This is continuing. Ford said
the changes are expected to provide a path to profitability.
Force Model E Electric Vehicle business buy twenty twenty nine

(08:39):
checks calendar. Oh yeah, four years away, well maybe three
years away, targeting annual improvements beginning in twenty twenty six.
The automaker also said it expects the changes to improve
profits in its traditional Ford Blue unit and Ford Pro
commercial and fleet business over time, with early signs of
benefits in the next year. The automakers that it expects

(09:03):
approximately fifty percent of its global volume by twenty thirty
will be hybrids and fully electric vehicles, up from seventeen
percent in twenty twenty five. Ford said it will concentrate
as North American electric vehicle development on this new low cost,
flexible universal EV platform that's expected to underpin a quote
high volume family of smaller, highly efficient and affordable electric vehicles.

(09:27):
The first vehicle from the new platform will be a
quote fully connected Missize pickup truck assembly at the company's
Louisville assembly plant starting in twenty twenty seven. Wow from
the Wall Street Journal. Instead of plowing this is Ford again,
Chief executive Jim Farley in an interview. Instead of plowing

(09:49):
billions into the future knowing these large evs will never
make money, we are pivoting.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
We now know enough.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
About the US market where we have a lot more
certainty in this second inning of reduced emission power trains. Second,
hitting my butt, this is the bottom of the night
for you, Jimbo. You either hit a walk off or
the investors are going to revolt. And I think that's
what you sent the signal to the margin. That's why
the stock went up. Now the company they continue in

(10:21):
the journal, the company said it remains on track to
produce a thirty thousand dollars EV pickup for sale by
twenty twenty seven, which the company says will be the
first in a new string of low cost evs. Quote, now,
this is the core of our EV strategy in America.
We've got to land the plane. Why I am. How

(10:45):
about you just make cars that American consumers actually want
to are willing to and do buy, you know, like
your own four f one fifty which runs on gas
or diesel. This really isn't hard, unless, of course, you
make it hard, which they seem to do. Then they

(11:06):
continue to boost revenue. Ford Food Ford will turn this
Kentucky EV battery factory into a battery storage business for
customers such as utilities, wind and solar power developers, and
massive data centers that train AI. Ford set up plans
to hire thousands of new employees across the United States,
though some sixteen hundred workers at the battery plan will

(11:29):
be laid off while it gets repurposed. Well, maybe those
workers could learn to code. No, no, wait, wait a minute,
AI is taking over that realm. I guess they just
that luck they can't learn to code. That's not going
to help. Four continues about well the story continues, I
shouldn't say, four continues. They now talk about GM. General Motors,

(11:54):
forced to retreat from plans to have an all EV
lineup by twenty thirty five, wrote down one point six
billion in EV assets in the third quarter, signaled that
more write downs are in store as it pulls back
on their EV capacity. GM recognized that equipment it bought
for a planned EV factory was wasted once the company

(12:14):
decided to make gas vehicles there instead. Now they don't
They say one point six million, but I can't wait
to see the magnitude of the additional write downs coming
from General Motors, which they have worked over time to
conceal their EV related losses in the bowels of their financials.
At least Farley and Ford had been transparent about their

(12:36):
FIESCO that they were creating for the investors. Once again,
was why I think the stock went up. Farley continued,
said the company will be better off with a variety
of vehicle types rather than going all in on a
single technology. He said, this is a better solution for customers.

(12:56):
None of us really know what the future is going
to be, but Ford knows the enough about the future
to know that.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
This mix is the right mix, well one at least.

Speaker 3 (13:09):
They are now focused on solutions for their customers. If
you're trying to sell something that your customers don't want, yeah,
investors are going to pull back and your lots are
going to remain full, sales remain stagnant, and then, oh,
you think you know enough about the future. I don't

(13:31):
think Farley has the slightest clue what he's doing. So
let's just take a scattergun approach to his corporate strategy.
It hopes that he might just land on something it
actually works. Now, in the same society, that kind of
crap would be criminal under the sec but here not really. Now,

(13:54):
let's go on to Saskatchewan. You ever been to Saskatchewan.
It's a great place. You've ever been to Regina? Now,
it's kind of an interesting place. But you keep going
further north, you get to the Northwest Territories and there's
some great lake trout fishing and you can use the
occasionally see of moose or a bear.

Speaker 2 (14:12):
Two.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
I want you to listen as the city's transit director
tells the Saskatchewan City Council members that they've wasted a
stunning two million dollars per bus on seven electric buses
that can hold a charge for maybe two to three
hours a day in the wintertime. I know this comes

(14:34):
as a shock to many of you that live below
the thirtieth parallel, but you get about, well, you get
to Montana, even although it wasn't cold this this past week,
it is gold up there, and Saskatchewan and Northwest Territories,
it's gold.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
The city has.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
The Regina does thirteen more of these costly beasts, these
buses on order. They voted last September to actually continue
to buy the stupid things because they wanted to convert
the entire fleet to full ev buses or hybrids. Now
you've got to love a city council who asks if

(15:15):
they can just use the ev buses. Can we just
use them in the spring, summer, fall, and then just
use diesel in the winter. You know when the electric
one suck total costs of the twenty in service or
on order. Thus far fifty million dollars split between the
city and the federal government of Canada profligate waste. Nowfeesis

(15:36):
by public officials, all based on pseudoscience and of course
the religion of the Church of the climate activists. But
I'm sure it will go unpunished.

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Asking me, I'm not in favor of electric.

Speaker 1 (15:48):
Buses at all. It's not for the Saskatchewan weather.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
For the venture of their battery dies very quickly and
they can just run for two three hours, that's all.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
That's very interesting.

Speaker 4 (15:56):
We cut electric busses regarded that fleet to maintain services.
Would you be happy with that?

Speaker 1 (16:00):
Elecalty happy with that?

Speaker 5 (16:01):
Before we were happy with the electric buses also when
we haven't seen them on the road there because it
will save some fuel, we were thinking, and it's going
with the environment there.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
We were happy to do with that.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
But now when we see after two hours of drive
their battery comes to fifteen percent, oh wow, didn't even
know what if facebook everywhere last Friday there was four buses.
Four buses we have to change off with a fifteen
person battery.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
The electric bus question. One hundred and firty three buses.
I think in the swet twenty one. Electric diesels pretty expensive,
is thereny reason why we couldn't use the buses. They
don't use the gas in the fall, spring and summer
for fuel savings, and just use the dealel ones and
winter when the electric one store.

Speaker 5 (16:27):
If we haven't tried in summer yet, we have to
wait till summer. Now for the electric business, this is
the first time we got during the wintertime. I think
with the one charge the maximum how many two hundred
kilometers they can go with one charge full charge? So
we're spending money on electricity there too. Right if we're
saving on fuel, you're spending on electricity and we can't
rely on them. Whether diesel buses we have a sign.
We know that it will go this long, the electric buses,
especially in winter.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
A big note. This is business fust win A big no.
It's hilarious.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
I don't know why that audios can sped up, seems
to be sped up.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
May can we just can.

Speaker 3 (16:55):
We use the electric quines in the summer and just
use the gas wins and the diesel ones in the sude?
I don't know, you know, and won't you have to
buy more because you've already invested so much in the
electric buses, you're going to have to spend more to
buy more gas buses. M That's how devoted they are
to the religion. Absolutely devoted to it, you.

Speaker 7 (17:18):
Know, Michael, You just having come back from Montana. Many
of us who lived there had block heaters in our
trucks for the winter time with that little electric court
sticking out the front. And I cannot tell you how
many California's wanting to work out mile Electric picked up
from long before Ford.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Raper put them ount.

Speaker 7 (17:38):
Yeah, not the brightest pulps out there.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
You go to a public parking garage in Regina, Saskatchewan,
and they'll have all of those outlets for you know,
if you're working in an office building and there's a
parking garage next to it, there'll be an outlet there
so you can plug your block eater into the into
that outlet. And oh my gosh, are the because the

(18:06):
winners are just so long and so dirty and so
nasty and so much snow and ice everything else that
the parking garages are just nasty. They're just nasty with
dirt and you know, you know how you know when
the snow melts, it's caught all the dirt and dust
and everything. Now that's that's the parking garages in Saskatchewan.
Here's where here, here's an example of why you need

(18:28):
to use three three one zero three keyword, Mike or Michael,
if you want to text me something, because Goober thirty
seven ninety three just sent me a text at well
not just at ten eighteen, but I just saw it
during the break, and they're going to hijack the next segment,

(18:48):
maybe even the next two segments where chasing a squirrel dragon.

Speaker 4 (18:53):
That's why we love the text line in the talk back.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
That's right, we love them. But you got to use
the ride number three three one zero three. And here's
prove three three one oh three three three one zero three.
That's right, you got it, You got it exactly right.
You just can't say the words correctly. You need to
use your big boy words. Uh thirty seven ninety three
White writes, Mike, do you see in quotes any do

(19:19):
you see any emerging conservative or Republican leadership in Colorado?
The police takeover seems to be complete. The Republicans don't
seem to fight back or have any plans other than
rolling over and wetting themselves well. Republicans are very good
at that. They roll over and wet themselves very very well.

(19:41):
But you may or may not be aware that there was.
In fact, I was introduced to the individual that's running
for a governor because his pr or manager or whatever.
This is a friend of mine. But I don't do
political interviews. I don't interview people running for office, one
primarily because I find them incredibly boring. Two, if there's

(20:05):
anything that's likely to derail and go off the rails
very very quickly, is me questioning a politician and a
politician giving me bull.

Speaker 1 (20:16):
Crap talking point answers.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Because I like to go to second, third, fourth, fifth
level in terms of answers, so it usually turns out
to be pretty lousy radio. And I don't make any friends,
not that I'm trying to make friends. And the other
reason is it's just it's boring.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
It's boring.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
But that question makes me think about something that maybe
we should talk about a little bit, and that is.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Are there any and is so?

Speaker 3 (20:51):
Who are they? And where are they? Are they worth chasing?
Are they worth trying to deal with? Are they? How
should I put it? Let me put it this way?

(21:11):
I try to manage two political instincts. You can have
two thoughts in your brain at the same time. The
first instinct is my own ideology, which if you've been
listening to me for any lead the time I'm seven,
you know, almost twenty years on radio now, you know

(21:32):
that I am conservative libertarian, and I leant pretty staunchily
over to the right side of the political spectrum. But
I'm also aware that many ideas within my coalition called
the Republican Party are outdated, just not very good ideas,

(21:55):
not very many original ideas, and we're not very good
at communicating our ideas. That's the first side of my brain.
And the second side of my brain is the pragmatic
side of the brain, which is not always aligned with
the ideological side of my brain. And when I think
about that disconnect, I think about a person that I

(22:18):
had to deal with a lot when I was the undersecretary.
She's the current senior citizen, senior citizen. She's the current
senior centate citizen. She is the current senior senator from
the state of Maine, Susan Collins. Susan Collins is a
coin flip on any pressure packed vote in the US Senate.

(22:44):
You never know. She sometimes is on the right side
of the vote. Sometimes she's on the wrong side of
the vote in my brain, maybe not yours, but in mind.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yet after three Trump.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Era presidential elections in Maine, and also tell you this,
she is the only Republican who can win that seat
in Maine. You can successfully primary Susan Collins if you want,
but I guarante an to you that you will lose
the seat because primary Susan Collins is a mistake. Oh

(23:19):
what you think that makes me a rhino. I just
know that a fast pitch is going to get hit
in that state. It's going to be a Grand Slam,
So I'm gonna throw a curveball instead. Sometimes we wind
up having to replace retiring candadates, take MTG. Marjorie Taylor

(23:40):
Green or Don Bacon over in Nebraska. But most of
the time when we are shouting primary, it's because cannadas
have really screwed the pooch. And I could name a.

Speaker 1 (23:54):
I don't know. I can name a bunch of candidates
who has screwed the pooch.

Speaker 3 (23:58):
The flea bag Indiana senator who are fine letting Democrats
and Trump their seats in in Stone in a state
that Trump won by nineteen points. Have no issue with
Virginia flipping four Republican seats in a state that Harris
one by six. They can all go find something else
to do. And I'd be happy to partner with anyone

(24:19):
and everybody in Indiana to provide mapping and analytics to
make sure they all become lobbyists by twenty twenty seven,
because in almost all cases, if you fail to fight
the Democrats, you're gonna get primary. But Susan Collins is
an example of those that if you primary her, you're
going to lose the seat. So what does that had
to do with the original question from Guber number thirty

(24:43):
seven to ninety three? Do I see any emerging conservative
or Republican leadership in Colorado? No?

Speaker 2 (24:56):
I know.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
That just made every candidate, including somebod I know, personally
pissed off. I'm not convinced that a Republican can win
the governor's seat in Colorado because the Republican Party. Remember
I said, I have two things in my brain. I've
got ideology over here, those things that I believe in,

(25:20):
those things that I want, those things I want to
obtain for the state of Colorado and my prigmatist mind
over here that says you got to win first. In
order to win first, you have to attract the unaffiliated
and a few, maybe not many, but a few Democrats.
Most Republican candidates don't know how to fight for the center.

(25:43):
They don't know how to fight for the unaffiliated. They mean,
how to talk to the unaffiliated voters. And I certainly
don't look to me because I'm not very good at
talking to unaffiliated voters. Oh, I can explain economics, I
can explain the consequences, but I'm also sure that I
can do it sly to get them to come over
to my side instead, I get I said this to

(26:09):
somebody before the program started. It drives me crazy. If
we focus solely on the gubernatorial race, why aren't you instead?
I'm not picking on you, thirty seven ninety three, but
your text message gives me an opportunity to say what
I'm about to say.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
After the break, Michael, girl, Dad, I have lost one
hundred degrees off my ambient temperature and return to the
last frontier where it is minus thirty or lower.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
And can I just appreciate something for a second?

Speaker 2 (26:42):
Here?

Speaker 1 (26:42):
The power runs it works. I'm in my house, it's
going to be on all day.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
I have no concerns about how effective the coal's can
it be? Is this a good time to ask how
Colorado's power system is going?

Speaker 1 (26:56):
Why do you live there?

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Lived there? So as long as you're there, I'm going
to be here. When you're here, I'll be there. How
about that? Don't call in here and bragging about how
you're still at home, the heats on, the powers working,
you're warm, you're comfortable.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
Yeah, bite my ass, just you know, go away, go away?
Was that really him? Didn't sound like him? No, I
believe it to be him. Did you okay?

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Even wondering why he believed he needed to say that
it was girl dead because it sounded like him.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, well maybe because he said it was. I immediately thought, yeah,
you're lying to us like everybody else does. So back
to the question about are there any really Republicans conservative Republicans?
I think what you really mean that that can win?
There's anybody that I would endorse? You know, let's focus.
I haven't read it yet or watched it, but apparently

(27:53):
Caldera did something about we can video. He was either
interviewing or was interviewed. I forget, I don't know which
it was, and gosh, I hate to give Calder any publicity,
but I but I will in this case. He's in
drunken stupor, so he won't know anyway. He points out
that Colorado can be turned around, but it's going to

(28:15):
take hard work, and he's right about that. But let
me give you some practical Winning the governor's race and
still having the Democrats control the legislative branch is not
going to accomplish anything because the legislative branch, if we

(28:36):
got to go back to Civics one oh one, that's
where the laws are written. So if we're going to graduate,
because we're not going to win Coloro back in one
election cycle, it's not going to happen in twenty twenty six,
it's not going to happen in twenty twenty eight. But
over time, if we work hard, we can get Colorado

(28:57):
back on track where people quit listening to me because
you don't want to you don't want to do the
hard work, and you don't want to hear the truth.
And the truth is this, I don't give a rat
task about the governor's seat. I care more about getting
control of either the Colorado at the Colorado polit Bureau,
either the House or the Senate, one or the other.

(29:21):
I want Republicans to have a majority in one or
the other so we can at least stop the madness.
The analogy I would draw is the same analogy that
we had about illegal immigration until you seal the border.
All this talk about comprehensive immigration reform was bullcrap, total bullcrap.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Well, the same is true.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
About well we got elector Republican governor in Colorado. Yeah,
I'd love to have a Republican governor, but you tell me,
I want you to think about this. What would a
Republican governor be able to accomplish on his own? Nothing?
Because the legislature, as long as it's controlled with the Democrat,
that's where the bills are going to originate, and they're
gonna do what they want to do.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
That's where the.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Marxists, that's where the socialists all resigne. That is the
honey trap right there. So you've got to recognize that
you've got to swap that honey trap and get control
of at least half of it both houses. Oh, that'd
be a wet dream for me, But at least get
control of one or the other. Get control of the House,
get control of the Senate, have a majority there. So

(30:26):
quit focusing on the governor's race and focus on the
cabal at the pulp Bureau. Once you get those Democrats
out of there, you can at least stop the madness
from getting worse. And once you show the rest of
the state, oh, look, we've slowed down the madness. We've
stopped the madness, and now we can start turning it

(30:49):
back the other way. Then Now, I'm not saying, don't
get me wrong, I'm not saying don't go vote Republican
for governor, because I certainly will whoever gets the nomination.
If Dragon Red Beer got the Republican nomination for governor
for twenty twenty second, I'd vote for him because my
choices right now are those those three amigos what's her

(31:12):
name the Secretary of State Jennet Griswold or Michael the
dumbass Bennett or phil let Sue Trump Wiser. No, I'm
not gonna vote for any of them under any circumstances.
All vote for my dog if they're the Republican nominee,
because it doesn't matter. No, I shouldn't say it doesn't

(31:32):
matter completely, but it's it's not the problem, the problems
with the legislature. Just like if you have problems in
your county like we have in Douglas County, it's, well,
guess what it is in Douglas County, it's the Republican
County commissioners. They're the problem. So it might be breake time,
but I'm going to roll here.
