Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Car manufacturer Ford had bet thirty billion dollars that the
government would mandate consumers use evs forever. They just read
off nineteen point five billion dollars. Industries that are built
on policy rather than demand are going to be devastated

(00:21):
when policy shifts. Excel is planning to turn off power
to about half a million customers due to high wind
risks on Wednesday. Interesting that they raise our rates about
ten percent every year, and they're forcing us to go
to one hundred percent electricity by twenty fifty. I think

(00:45):
this is to help normalize the rolling brownouts down the
road that we're going to experience. Sad to hear about
the passing of Tony Carey yesterday for those in the
seventies and eighties, he was Luke on General Hospital, part
of the infamous Luke and Laura marriage.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Mike, what a day yesterday, Rob Reiner, Trump's comments about
Rob Reiner, Lindsey Graham coming out of the woodwork, Shoomer,
the bills, What is going on? Are they ever going
to fix South of care in this country? Emergency talkback,

(01:29):
emergency talkback, just a case, no gobblo, no gobbolo.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
No cala ma la ba La Ba La emergency talkback, Michael,
do you have any information regarding whether any of the
survivors of the shooting at Brown saw the shooter?

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Michael and Dragon, did the news ever clear up whether
or not the Australian police sat there and hit behind
their cars rather than Jeff into the fight.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Greetings from southeast of Colorado. I actually had to listen
to you in real time instead of the podcast coming
back from the gorgeous Lamar as I head across the
plains of eastern Colorado. Good to have you back, Dragon,
keep me in line. Back, Ronnie, It's okay.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
You can tell everybody I'm one of your favorites, you know.

Speaker 5 (02:26):
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
Californians wanting to work out my electric pickup from long
before Ford Raver put him mount Yeah. Not the brightest

(02:49):
pulps out there.

Speaker 7 (02:50):
Back 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, And.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Can I just appreciate something for a second. Here, the
power runs, it works, I'm in my house, it's going
to be on all day. I have no concerns about
how effective the coals can it be? Is this a
good time to ask how Colorado's power system is going?

Speaker 6 (03:18):
Why do you live there?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Michael?

Speaker 8 (03:20):
It's called playing small ball, right. We need to get
to the point where we can win back the small
things in order to win back the big things. We
keep swaying for the fences and we're always going to miss.
Get back to the fundamentals, and that means winning elections
at the local level, your county commissioner, your local officials,

(03:41):
your city council, and then we'll have a base to
work forward.

Speaker 9 (03:46):
Hey, Michael, isn't the point I guess more or less
that there's a possibility that they could be using innocent
people along with the drug talk cartel on these boats.
I mean, drug meals all the time, so why wouldn't
they use them in this case?

Speaker 6 (04:03):
Cool? It never ceases to amaze me how these various
congressional districts managed to send their village idiot instead of
the best in bryce to.

Speaker 10 (04:14):
Moment, Michael, there has not been one Democrat elected in
the state of Colorado. And I said elected since two
thousand and eight, not one of them have been elected.
How they end up, Well, they don't count votes in

(04:38):
this state. They count ballots.

Speaker 11 (04:42):
Hey, Grandpa, first, talk back here. Just heard your piece
about the voting. I didn't know if you thought we
should go back to paper files and fax machines too. Otherwise,
it just sounds like you want to lower voter turn
out or we need to make it a national holiday,
federally recognized so that everyone has a chance.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
All Right, Thanks a lot.

Speaker 6 (05:00):
This makes me.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Nervous teaching kids about their civic duty.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
When you vote in person, they don't see you voting
on the computer.
