Speaker 1 (00:00):
Top of the morning to you, Michael and Dragon, wishing
you just a delightful Saint Patrick's Day today? Can I
be a heretic?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Let me ask you a question. All right, today is Monday,
March seventeen. Uh huh aka Saint Patrick's Day. Sure, yeah,
do you give a flying.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I wore the green? Yeah, uh huh. You're gonna get pinched,
remember that in.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
High school or junior higher. Then you get cool and
you try to hide the green.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, you know, because then the rule is if somebody
pinched you while you were wearing green, you get to
pinch them back twice.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Twice. Yes, and of course you do it twice. It's
hard to of course.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Of course, so as a guy, you was like, all right,
my underwear is green, so nobody can see it. So
when they pinch me, and then.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I go, it's so stupid. Yep, and I have a
really difficult time. It's like, see go demayo, it's an
excuse to go drink and get drunk.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Of course, I just.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And because I don't like I mean, I like to drink,
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy, you know, a nice cocktail,
a nice class of wine. But I just I don't
enjoy beer. I just I just cannot yet excited about it.
Are they going to turn the Chicago River green today?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
They do that over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh, they did over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Because you do the parades, and most of the parades
were on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh so is that why? Because I saw Grant here Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yes, that's why he was here for cakes and eggs
for our sister station.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
But did they do kegs and eggs on Friday?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Friday morning?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yep? Why did they do it Friday morning?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You not do it this morning because it's a Monday.
Nobody wants to go and party at seven am on
a Monday. Take it. Take a Friday, then you can
take the whole.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So this just absolutely your honor. You know. I move
for some rejudgment because obviously the facts of the case
applied to the law are that it's nothing more excuse
to go drink. Correct, So the date has absolutely nothing
to do with There will people, There will be people
(02:08):
people who will drink today because it is their day
to drinks. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, think of it like this. If your birthday was
on a Monday, would you take that Monday off or
would you take the Friday off and take the whole weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, if you take the Monday, you've taken the whole weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But then you got to go back to work hungover
on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'd rather go to work hungover than spend my Saturday
and Sunday hungover, sure, Oka, because that's how my personal time.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'd rather continue drinking on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Probably not because I don't drink that much. I had
one cocktail the entire weekend Friday Saturday, say I had one,
had one? You know. Part of the problem is on
getting that age where if I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Have my one hundred and thirteen's pretty rough and you.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Know few already Monday morning, six old nine, I've a
way told you that f off. It's like, but I've
gotten to that age where if if I drink like
you know, five, six, seven o'clock at night, it just
really screws up my sleep badly.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So now now I'm a morning drinker. I just wait
and drink kind of a Martin. It's lunch time eleven
thirty because we eat lunch early, right, because you know,
we get our Yeah yeah, so uh can I kind
of a Martini trolley dirty uh auto insurance premium. This
(03:34):
comes to us from a newser Auto insurance premiums are
on the rise across the United States. Let me tell you,
get me to tell you. I crap my pants? Have
I mentioned this on area?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You have not mentioned this on area yet?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Okay? Well, the breakdown has a number of facets, but
the following reflects the average cost of full coverage. Now
remember this is a full coverage for one vehicle. You
own two vehicles, right, that is correct. You don't pay
for the mother in laws. Go, yeah, she has one
(04:10):
because she takes the grog. Correct, yeah, you take that side.
So this breakdown is for per vehicle. The ten burst.
The ten burst the ten best and worst on the list,
which includes Washington, d C. Where costs other hot are
the highest. Number one. Coming in number one is Florida
and an average cost of four thousan two ten dollars
(04:33):
ten dollars for a for a vehicle. New York comes
in second at four thousand dollars. Louisiana comes in third
at a close to four thousand and three thirty nine
ninety eight. Nevada comes in four thirty six sixty and
there's a little owle Colorado, smack dab in the middle,
in the middle at three thousand, two hundred and twelve dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
We made a top ten list.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
We've made the top ten, and I will tell you
that is correct because if you own seat now, that's
per vehicle, So three two hundred twelve dollars would be
nine six hundred seven dollars nine thousand, six hundred thirty
six dollars if you owned three vehicles. Mine's not quite
(05:19):
that bad, but mine's close to it. Let's just round
it off at seven grand. Just that's a little high.
That's just rounding it up, not rounding it down. But
let's say that it's just around seven grand. That's a
significant increase over last year. I've not had a ticket
in four years. The only accident that I've had has
(05:43):
been the fault of someone else. I already do one
thousand dollars deductible because it's just easier, you know, just trying.
I'm now actually thinking about calling the the the broker
and just saying, what would what could I get if
I increased the deductible to two thousand dollars Because you want,
(06:07):
I'll just go put two grand in a saving account
somewhere and just say save that. So if you know,
somebody bumps into us, or we bump into somebody, and
you know you just for example, a little old lady,
a little eighty I think eighty five eighty six year
old woman just kind of backed into Tamar's car a
little bit. Now, when Tamer brought the car home, it's
(06:29):
been a couple of months ago. I'll tell you what
it actually ended up being. She I looked at it,
she goes, yeah, it's pretty minor. And I looked at it, like,
I see the quarter panel was it's not exactly aligned.
And then I looked at the piece and I realized, oh,
that goes all at that's one piece coming all the
way around to the other side. And Tamer was like, yeah,
it's fighting a cost very much. And I said, Sweedie,
(06:50):
it's it's gonna cost you more. And you think, here,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It didn't so much.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And then the best part is the adjuster came out
and looked at it and asked him gave an asked
of about I think around eighteen hundred dollars or something,
and I thought, mmm, don't I still don't think that's
gonna be right.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Because you're still gonna spend If you're gout one thousand
dollars directly, you're still spending eight hundred.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Well, remember this is not her fault, so she should
be doing true right. So anyway, we're just looking at
the toll. I'm looking at the total cost, and the
total cost I don't think it's going to be anywhere
near fifteen or eighteen hundred. It turns out to be
almost four thousand dollars. Yeah, And of course Tarror feels
and I understand why she feels sorry for the woman.
She's eighty five, eighty six years old, she had just
lost her husband, like, you know, maybe thirty days before
(07:36):
or something, and she was just backing out. You know,
she's driving a kind of like my mom was doing. Driving.
Why do old women drive big vans? I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
So they don't get hit. People will see them, so
they're not gonna get hit by people.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
But when they're trying to back out, they can't see squat.
And so when they can't see squad because they're driving
this you know, eighteen wheeler it's a Dodge van, they
just they and she just actually backed she and she
got out of it. She was shaking and crying, all upset,
all worried about Tamaran, and Tamer's like listen, gave her
a huge You're okay, it's okay, we're gonna relax, relax,
(08:10):
but I and I look, my whole point is it's
so dang expensive. And then of course, once they got
the car into the shop, they I did, I hope
she's still asleep. I hope she's not up listening yet.
(08:32):
They then told her it would be I think she
took it in on a Monday. They thought they'd have
it ready by Friday, and I bet choked my diet coke.
I thought, no, that's not gonna happen. It ain't gonna happen.
So she you know, they provide a rental car, but
you know, she has to pay for the insurance. And
I told her to just put it on like the
American Express or put it on the Chase because they cover,
(08:55):
you know, damaged to rental cars, so you don't need
to pay that. But she didn't trust U. She's she
went and paid herself. Well after the first week, she realized,
y oh, I think I'll go back to the rolling company.
And I think I'll take that off and put it
on the credit card just to you know whatever. But
(09:17):
I can't. I know people will tell us this because
of hail damage. I haven't had a haill claim on
a car.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
My car lives outside and that there's there's no hail damage.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Have you seen the new devices that blow up and
provide a bubble of rend your car?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Those are just funny. Hey, you know, if you can
sell them and get away with it, go for it.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Man.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh, I agree.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And if I parked that all the time and it
was springtime in Colorado and there was a storm coming,
I might go out and blow it up. I think
it's self inflates are sad. I believe so too. Yeah,
I don't think you have to do anything. So anyway,
Colorado's made another list. I think that's fantastic. The lowest
costs Now, I want you to think about this. Florida
at the highest four dollars, coming in at number fifty,
(10:04):
well fifty one, because let's let's count d C.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Where was d C?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh there number seven at threeenty sixteen. Coming in number
fifty one is Idaho at fourteen hundred dollars, about a
fourth of what Florida is at four two hundred and
ten dollars. I interestingly, So, you know, we had the
(10:28):
tornado at our house, well almost two years ago. Yeah,
I think it'll be two years ago sometime this spring,
and the insurance company paid out I think about one
hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars on repairs in the house.
I mean it was a whopping amount of money. So
the first renewal I got, I was like, it is
like opening, Did I get admitted to law school? Did
(10:49):
I get into law school? Do I look? Do I look?
And I get that notice and of course it's email.
I like, do I click open? Do I click open?
And I clicked open and it went up I think
three or four hundred dollars. That's not too bad. No,
it's not too bad at all. I get to renew
it for this year.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, just you wait.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
No, I opened it. I was like, what's it gonna
be this year? Open it up? About three hundred dollars?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Huh? All right?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And it's still and it's still, in my opinion, a
reasonable amount. So everybody bitches about homeowner's insurance, but I
think it's auto insurance that's the killer in the state.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, we have some of our leadership saying we're not
gonna arrest you for stealing cars until the third or
fourth car you steal. You know, maybe that could have
something to do with the reason why that the insurance
costs have gone up, just thinking, you know, maybe possibly so.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
At some point, I don't know where that breaking point is,
and I think that breaking point may include law abiding,
reasonable citizens who don't want to have their assets put
at risk. And obviously, you know, let's say that, I mean,
(12:06):
let's say that it had been Tammer's fault and the
damage to her car was close to four thousand dollars.
Do I want to drag four thousand dollars out of
savings or a brokerage account or something to pay for
a car. No, that's why you have auto insurance. That's
why you have any kind of insurance. But at some
point the trade off.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Becomes doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Doesn't make any sense, It doesn't make any sense at all.
And if you're willing to roll the dice, I can
hear insurance out there, agent's out there right now having
a heart attack that I'm even thinking along these lines.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I'm pretty sure we hear in card are legally obligated
to must care.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
So how many casts? So, boy, that's the Now it's
six nineteen. It's been about what ten minutes since I
told you to f off, and now you're telling me, oh, well, Michael,
insurance is required in color routers, so you have to
have it. H Shall we go out and up the
number of cars on the twenty five or the two
(13:02):
seventy of the you know wherever they are today and
just you know, do a random check and see how
many people actually have insurance?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You want?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Do you want to go do that?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
How many of those cars actually have those cars registered registered?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Oh, they may be registered, but it's expired. I saw
one this weekend that was two years old. Oh wow,
two years old?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Was it one of attempt tags?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
There was no, it was a regular tag. They just
had me knew it in two years it still showed,
It still showed twenty Was it two years twenty three? Yeah? No, yeah,
it was twenty No, it was twenty twenty two. It
was twenty two because it was like April of twenty two.
Because I remember seeing the twenty two and trying to.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It wasn't one of those idiots that like, No, I
know it was.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Like April's April. So I looked over it was no,
it was April, because I thought, well, maybe I misread
it and it's just you know it's due next month. No,
I look closer, it's twenty two speaking. I wasn't gonna
do well, wait a minute, I will do this, our friend.
And what I want to know is Gooba number zero
(14:18):
five three eight? How come you didn't leave this as
a talkback if you're what do you think? This is
the trading post? What do you have? You know? We
got Billy Bob over here online too. Billy Bob would
like to give away. He's got four chickens he'd like
to give away. Now you know what the price of
eggs are right now, and then chickens are pretty damn expensive.
(14:41):
So which is Billy's got four hens over here laying chickens,
laying eggs all day long. But Billy needs a new
trap retire.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Which is funny because we know that this person leaves
talkbacks because he signed in and signed out the same
way he does on the talkbacks.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yes, because this is hilarious. So and now I know
who zero five three eight is too. Also yep, Mike
or Michael smart ass, you know, Good morning from Yeah,
I wish taking dam to Teyo's voice.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Good Good morning from South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Good morning from South Dakota. If any Tesla owners are
hating on Elon Musk, I will take their tesla or
cyber truck off their hands. I won't even charge a
pickup fee. I will take them for free. Please contact
me through the situation with Michael Brown. Everyone have a
great day.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
He's not exactly wrong. I mean, I'll take anybody up
on that offer too.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I I hate the cyber trucks same but I think
they're ugly.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
But taking a free car from somebody sure.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So somebody posted on ex over the weekend that no
wonder the cyber truck is designed the way it's supposed to.
And they have a photo of some sort of like
communist truck used in South Africa back in the thirties
or forties. I don't know how long ago it was,
but it's this big, ugly truck and they're trying to
see see Elon's just a South African communist. He was,
(16:09):
you know, a member of apartheid or something.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh he is African, so he's South African so maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh yeah, brief exactly what the hell? So let's let
me get over here to my bookmarks. Because over the weekend,
the honorable Mark Kelly, who is the senior Senator from
the pathetic state of Arizona. Because they always say, you
(16:36):
know my you know my fellow senator, my good friend,
the honorable Mark Kelly from the great state of Arizona.
Well he's one of the a holes that has already
gone out and he has traded in a Tesla. I
don't know what it was, but he's traded in a
Tesla for a vehicle. And he was to make sure
(17:01):
that you know how great he is virtue signaling.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
All right, here I am with my new ride, stubby Girl,
Sluby Tahoe here in Washington.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Du save that one is in Tucson, because.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Wow, this fund was moved by Union Roader United honand
Workers in Arlington, Texas. I was good to buy Union cars,
incredibly reliable, and I'm looking at color to drive in
this for.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Many many years. All Right, he's really excited because, by
the way, and the reason I found this is because
Mark Kelly also just recently gone on TikTok and so
now he has a TikTok account because they're all trying
to do well, they're all trying to be the cool kids.
(17:50):
So I saw his original TikTok, which led me to
this TikTok about how he has a new Chevy Tahoe
or whatever it is. Well, the great thing about X
is something called community notes. So he gets noted and
(18:11):
it's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
That's nice, good morning from South Dakota. The reason I
left that in a Texas morning instead of a talkback
is that visiting with the grandchildren on eastern South Dakota
and they were on the floor in the bedroom sleeping
like little burritos.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Everyone have a great day. So he cares more about
the sleeping grandchildren, uh huh than he does about leaving
a talk back for this program.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Or you know, like getting up and leaving the room
so they could they could continue to I mean, I'm
sure where you are all staying. It's it's not, you know,
a studio apartment. Even still in a studio apartment, you
can go outside.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You could go outside. But then again it's you know,
it's what where is it? South Dakota, South Dakarta, Yeah,
South Dakota.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I bet that North Dakota girl would have gone outside
in the exact not trying to start a war between
North and South Dakota, but that.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Would be fun, just saying, right, a war that nobody
care about. Gouba number seventy one, seventy one, that's a
great number. Will Tamra be joining the other teachers on
Thursday to storm the capitol? What did I miss?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
There are teachers storming the capitol?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I guess Thursday. It says, will Tamara be joining the
other teachers on Thursday to storm the capitol? Wait a minute,
Oh oh, because this week's spring break. That's when they
can do it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Well, not everywhere, not every school district has spring break
at the same time, but sure, yeah, I'm sure why not?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Eighty two? Oh too, Michael. I live on the north
side of the Metroplex. We have a twenty seventeen and
two twenty nineteen vehicles with high payouts because we have
a million dollar umbrella policy. We also have a homeowner's
policy with a two thousand dollars deductible. Our annual premium
was sixty threeh eight this year. Are you talking about
(20:11):
the two vehicles or the two vehicles and the homeowners.
So I need clarification on that given Amber zero four
to three three. The other day I saw a TEMP
tag that expired in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You beat me.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Two blocks later I saw another TEMP tag.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Did you eat this one?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Dragon?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I had none.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Two blocks later I saw another TEMP tag that expired
in two thousand and nineteen. Wow. Now I'm not very
good at math, but this is twenty twenty five, and
that's twenty nineteen. I think that's about six years ago.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And thinking about them, all the money that they saved,
I know, and.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I wonder, is there a way then to take the
car to say New Mexico or Oklahoma or Kansas, and uh,
you know, do a bill a sale to like your
white spouse or somebody else, and then just go register
the car new, you know, do a new registration. You're
the new owner who ends up paying all that back
(21:15):
those back registration fees. In other words, if I, if
I was the owner of that car twenty nineteen, I
transfer title to you. You take it to Kansas as
a new owner and register it in Kansas? Do you
just pay that year's registration fee.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I'm a new owner. I don't care what the previous
owner did.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Right, Yeah, I wonder how that work because just don't
run into US zero ninety three eight. Just don't run
into a rivian repair costs are ridiculous. Oh, here we go.
We got Sarasota, Florida, which came in at number one
(21:59):
in Sarah. So to my twenty twenty two Polestar EV
I just like saying Polestar is twenty four hundred dollars.
My twenty fifteen Corvette C seven ten year anniversary April
nineteen was just reduced to eleven seventy six. Why say
(22:22):
that's not too bad ten year old car? Though? I mean,
I'm not really sure. Okay, So let's go back to
Senator Astronaut Mark Kelly. So, while Mark Kelly is dissing
on elon Musk and Tesla, his former employer in NASA
(22:46):
is relying on tests or not Tesla. I've been relying
on Musk and SpaceX to bring those stranded astronauts back.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
All right, Here I am with my new ride.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Here in Washington.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Du say got one of these in Tucson.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So he's got two of them. He's got two of them.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
As Wow, this one was made by Union.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Labor made by Union labor in anand workers in Arlington, Texas.
I was good to buy Union times, incredibly reliable and
I mean looking in color to drive in this floor
Testless sold in the US are made in America, with
(23:33):
a majority of their parts coming from the United States.
The Chevy Tahoe does not qualify for the Made in
America label under the American autand would be a labeling
act since only a small fraction of its assembly occur
even just even a small fraction of the assembly only
(23:55):
occurs in Arlington, Texas. Old domestic content score at thirty
seven percent according to co god dot America dot edu.
They're Auto index for twenty twenty two or Business Insider,
these cars are the most made in America. Uh and
(24:19):
let's see what they list. Oh oh no, I don't
want to log it. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna
log it and do it right now. So a trade
in from a car that's one hundred percent American made
to a car that's eighty two percent point five eighty
two point five percent American made is a step down.
(24:41):
That's according to Detroit News, the Chevy Tahoe is not
one percent US parts, only thirty seven percent domestic content,
yet it is indeed partly assembled in the US by
United Auto Workers. Six Tesla models have greater than eighty
(25:01):
percent domestic content. Tesla is the only American automaker whose
workers are not represented by a union. Again, according to Wikipedia,
or I mean the Book of Knowledge ORKBB dot com.
Isn't it fascinating this whole idea that I'm going to
(25:25):
stick it to Elon Musk Because you've already purchased the Tesla,
you may have already had a service by a Tesla dealer.
And my guess is someone like Mark Kelly who can
afford it because the taxpayers are paying his salary and
(25:46):
he's getting all of the insider trading, and he's getting
probably a you know, pension from NASA, so he's double dipping.
My guess is that. Oh, and get Gabby Giffords, former
congressman from Arizona. She probably has a some sort of
pension too. So they're a lot more wealthy. They're wealthier
than you and I are. They probably have a charging
(26:08):
station built into their homes in DC and in Arizona.
So this is the very definition of virtue signaling. So
I kept trying to think, how possibly could they be
sticking it to Elon Musk. Now, I assume when you
(26:30):
trade in a Tesla that a dealer, so he goes
to a Chevy dealership in Tucson. I assume that Chevy
dealer will take the Tesla as a trade in Okay.
So are they gonna scrap it? Are they gonna take
it to the auto auction and just point it off
(26:53):
because they can't deal with it? Because if they do that,
because the only the only effect that I I think
it would possibly have is that you've now increased the
supply of used Teslas. So you're driving down the price
of used Teslas because you're putting more of them into
the market. But that means you've exposed more people to Tesla.
(27:19):
So people that could not afford a new Tesla but
wanted one are now able to get one. So it's
one virtue signaling you're not accomplishing anything. And you would
think that someone that is an astronaut and the United
States senator would understand basic economics, would understand that you're
(27:45):
actually making an idiot of yourself.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
And I just.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I'm befuddled by the dumba. No, I'm not I'm not
befuddled at all. This is the stupidity of the Democrat
Party right now. And think about what they're protesting that
you could say that you can make an argument. I'll
see this argument. You can make an argument that they're
(28:12):
protesting Elon Musk and they don't like Elon Musk because
he's the richest man in the world. Okay, well, are
you anti capitalists? Are you anti SpaceX? Are you anti Starlink?
Are you anti boring Company? Are you anti PayPal? Are
you anti Tesla? Are you? I mean, why, he's the
(28:33):
he personifies innovation and capitalism. And what's he doing. Let's
set aside all of his private sector business. What's he
doing in the public sector? Oh, he's exposing waste, fraud
(28:53):
and abuse. Is that what you're protesting? Because I think
that it is. I think what you're doing is you're
upset because he's exposing your grift. He's exposing how all
of you have got all of these You know, it
was revealed over maybe not over the weekend, but I
saw it over the weekend that JB. Pritzker, the heir
(29:17):
to the Hyatt hotel family, his family has something like
they're involved in thirty two. By involved, I mean they're
a part of thirty two different NGOs, all of which
they're getting money from the federal government. These a holes. God,
(29:38):
I wish I could say that word in the air,
because this is truly what they are today. They're absolutely
a holes that are grifting off hard working Americans at
anyone that's paying federal income tax, or if you don't,
your grandchildren, who are going to be left with this
thirty two thirty seven, thirty nine trillion dollar national debt,
(29:58):
whatever it is today, it changes every day that we're
gonna have to somehow pay for. They're they're double triple,
quadruple dipping on the American taxpayers, and that's what they
object to. They they don't want the waste, fraud, and
abuse exposed. They don't want to reduce the size of government.
(30:21):
This is why I think that the Democrat Party's poll
numbers are the lowest in the history of the Democrat Party,
because they want the grift to keep going.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
In Colorado, you're an immigrant, you don't need a driver's license,
insurance or a registered car of insurances.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
View at that point, I'm sure that helps with the
r rate. Sneering in Colorado. There's there's so many factors
and that, and then those are factors because of unsured motors.
So you got to you know you, my my free
(31:02):
non legal advice is certainly do not go without uninsured
motorist coverage, and of course the weather. But I also
think that insurance companies, and I know I sound like
a liberal when I say this, but they don't care.
(31:24):
They don't care there whatever their margin is. I don't
know what the profit margin is on auto insurance, but
they want to maintain that and they're going to maintain
it at all costs. And then you've got the inflationary
pressures of just you know, you think about of course,
I can never I can never repair a car anyway
(31:45):
I have. I have zero skills. I can change the oil,
change a flat, uh, probably change out a battery. Beyond that,
probably windshield wipers. Can't do much beyond that, and everything
is I think about, even the Jeep Grand Cherokee so
much computerized. So repair costs are outrageous. But at some
(32:07):
point people will no longer be able to afford that,
and they'll make a choice. Do we want to buy
groceries or do we want to run the risk that
we just hope that we don't get hit or that
we don't hit someone else. It's a horrible choice to make,
but I think people will make that choice. So I
(32:27):
just casually mentioned the fact about or somebody had asked
me if timer was going to storm the Capitol on Thursday.
I didn't realize this. Here's a message from Adam's twelve
five star schools. Hear five star community. Adam's twelve five
star schools will now they don't have spring break. Let
(32:52):
me emphasize they don't have spring break in the Adams
twelve school district, but they will be closed on Thursday.
Adam's twelve five star schools will be closed for students
on Thursday, March twenty, twenty twenty five, due to labor shortages.
This decision has been made because hundreds of teachers have
(33:13):
indicated they will take personal leave on that Thursday to
participate in the Colorado Education Associations the unions planned statewide
rally of educators at the Capitol. Due to insufficient staffing,
we are unable to maintain our commitment to a safe
and productive learning environment. As a result, there will be
(33:34):
no school for students on Thursday. March twentieth. Although students
will not be present, this remains a workday for all
school and district employees. Those not at work that day
must use personal time. What we will continue on March
twenty after school, athletics and activities will proceed as scheduled
unless you hear differently from the school. Childcare childcare we
(33:58):
offer childcare at schools. I'm some kind of naive. Childcare
will only be available for families currently enrolled in base,
whatever the hell base is. Families will hear directly from
their base director with additional information and locations. What will
not take place on March twenty Field trips and activities
originally scheduled during the school day will not proceed unless
(34:20):
you hear differently from your school. No make up day
will be necessarily unless we have multiple snow days before
the end of the school year. We apologize for any
inconvenience that many cause our families. Our hope is that
making you aware of the situation and with advanced noticeable health,
families make arrangements. All schools will be open and operate
on normal schedule for Friday, March twenty one. Thank you
(34:41):
for your partnership in supporting student success in the five
Star district. Now background, according to the Union, they're promoting
a day of action for educators to rally at the
Colorado State capital because quote, the Colorado Legislature is considering
an almost one hundred and fifty million dollars cut education funding.
(35:04):
Because if governor police this proposed student count averaging chain
So you don't care about the kids at all, You're going,
why not just take why not protest Friday too, Just
take
Top of the morning to you, Michael and Dragon, wishing
you just a delightful Saint Patrick's Day today? Can I
be a heretic?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Sure?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
Let me ask you a question. All right, today is Monday,
March seventeen. Uh huh aka Saint Patrick's Day. Sure, yeah,
do you give a flying.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I wore the green? Yeah, uh huh. You're gonna get pinched,
remember that in.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
High school or junior higher. Then you get cool and
you try to hide the green.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, you know, because then the rule is if somebody
pinched you while you were wearing green, you get to
pinch them back twice.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Twice. Yes, and of course you do it twice. It's
hard to of course.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Of course, so as a guy, you was like, all right,
my underwear is green, so nobody can see it. So
when they pinch me, and then.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I go, it's so stupid. Yep, and I have a
really difficult time. It's like, see go demayo, it's an
excuse to go drink and get drunk.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Of course, I just.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
And because I don't like I mean, I like to drink,
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy, you know, a nice cocktail,
a nice class of wine. But I just I don't
enjoy beer. I just I just cannot yet excited about it.
Are they going to turn the Chicago River green today?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
They do that over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Oh, they did over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Because you do the parades, and most of the parades
were on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Oh so is that why? Because I saw Grant here Friday.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Yes, that's why he was here for cakes and eggs
for our sister station.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
But did they do kegs and eggs on Friday?
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Friday morning?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yep? Why did they do it Friday morning?
Speaker 2 (01:40):
You not do it this morning because it's a Monday.
Nobody wants to go and party at seven am on
a Monday. Take it. Take a Friday, then you can
take the whole.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
So this just absolutely your honor. You know. I move
for some rejudgment because obviously the facts of the case
applied to the law are that it's nothing more excuse
to go drink. Correct, So the date has absolutely nothing
to do with There will people, There will be people
(02:08):
people who will drink today because it is their day
to drinks. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, think of it like this. If your birthday was
on a Monday, would you take that Monday off or
would you take the Friday off and take the whole weekend.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Well, if you take the Monday, you've taken the whole weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
But then you got to go back to work hungover
on Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'd rather go to work hungover than spend my Saturday
and Sunday hungover, sure, Oka, because that's how my personal time.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I'd rather continue drinking on Saturday and Sunday.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
Probably not because I don't drink that much. I had
one cocktail the entire weekend Friday Saturday, say I had one,
had one? You know. Part of the problem is on
getting that age where if I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Have my one hundred and thirteen's pretty rough and you.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Know few already Monday morning, six old nine, I've a
way told you that f off. It's like, but I've
gotten to that age where if if I drink like
you know, five, six, seven o'clock at night, it just
really screws up my sleep badly.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So now now I'm a morning drinker. I just wait
and drink kind of a Martin. It's lunch time eleven
thirty because we eat lunch early, right, because you know,
we get our Yeah yeah, so uh can I kind
of a Martini trolley dirty uh auto insurance premium. This
(03:34):
comes to us from a newser Auto insurance premiums are
on the rise across the United States. Let me tell you,
get me to tell you. I crap my pants? Have
I mentioned this on area?
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You have not mentioned this on area yet?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Okay? Well, the breakdown has a number of facets, but
the following reflects the average cost of full coverage. Now
remember this is a full coverage for one vehicle. You
own two vehicles, right, that is correct. You don't pay
for the mother in laws. Go, yeah, she has one
(04:10):
because she takes the grog. Correct, yeah, you take that side.
So this breakdown is for per vehicle. The ten burst.
The ten burst the ten best and worst on the list,
which includes Washington, d C. Where costs other hot are
the highest. Number one. Coming in number one is Florida
and an average cost of four thousan two ten dollars
(04:33):
ten dollars for a for a vehicle. New York comes
in second at four thousand dollars. Louisiana comes in third
at a close to four thousand and three thirty nine
ninety eight. Nevada comes in four thirty six sixty and
there's a little owle Colorado, smack dab in the middle,
in the middle at three thousand, two hundred and twelve dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
We made a top ten list.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
We've made the top ten, and I will tell you
that is correct because if you own seat now, that's
per vehicle, So three two hundred twelve dollars would be
nine six hundred seven dollars nine thousand, six hundred thirty
six dollars if you owned three vehicles. Mine's not quite
(05:19):
that bad, but mine's close to it. Let's just round
it off at seven grand. Just that's a little high.
That's just rounding it up, not rounding it down. But
let's say that it's just around seven grand. That's a
significant increase over last year. I've not had a ticket
in four years. The only accident that I've had has
(05:43):
been the fault of someone else. I already do one
thousand dollars deductible because it's just easier, you know, just trying.
I'm now actually thinking about calling the the the broker
and just saying, what would what could I get if
I increased the deductible to two thousand dollars Because you want,
(06:07):
I'll just go put two grand in a saving account
somewhere and just say save that. So if you know,
somebody bumps into us, or we bump into somebody, and
you know you just for example, a little old lady,
a little eighty I think eighty five eighty six year
old woman just kind of backed into Tamar's car a
little bit. Now, when Tamer brought the car home, it's
(06:29):
been a couple of months ago. I'll tell you what
it actually ended up being. She I looked at it,
she goes, yeah, it's pretty minor. And I looked at it, like,
I see the quarter panel was it's not exactly aligned.
And then I looked at the piece and I realized, oh,
that goes all at that's one piece coming all the
way around to the other side. And Tamer was like, yeah,
it's fighting a cost very much. And I said, Sweedie,
(06:50):
it's it's gonna cost you more. And you think, here,
that's right.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It didn't so much.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And then the best part is the adjuster came out
and looked at it and asked him gave an asked
of about I think around eighteen hundred dollars or something,
and I thought, mmm, don't I still don't think that's
gonna be right.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Because you're still gonna spend If you're gout one thousand
dollars directly, you're still spending eight hundred.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Well, remember this is not her fault, so she should
be doing true right. So anyway, we're just looking at
the toll. I'm looking at the total cost, and the
total cost I don't think it's going to be anywhere
near fifteen or eighteen hundred. It turns out to be
almost four thousand dollars. Yeah, And of course Tarror feels
and I understand why she feels sorry for the woman.
She's eighty five, eighty six years old, she had just
lost her husband, like, you know, maybe thirty days before
(07:36):
or something, and she was just backing out. You know,
she's driving a kind of like my mom was doing. Driving.
Why do old women drive big vans? I don't get it.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
So they don't get hit. People will see them, so
they're not gonna get hit by people.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
But when they're trying to back out, they can't see squat.
And so when they can't see squad because they're driving
this you know, eighteen wheeler it's a Dodge van, they
just they and she just actually backed she and she
got out of it. She was shaking and crying, all upset,
all worried about Tamaran, and Tamer's like listen, gave her
a huge You're okay, it's okay, we're gonna relax, relax,
(08:10):
but I and I look, my whole point is it's
so dang expensive. And then of course, once they got
the car into the shop, they I did, I hope
she's still asleep. I hope she's not up listening yet.
(08:32):
They then told her it would be I think she
took it in on a Monday. They thought they'd have
it ready by Friday, and I bet choked my diet coke.
I thought, no, that's not gonna happen. It ain't gonna happen.
So she you know, they provide a rental car, but
you know, she has to pay for the insurance. And
I told her to just put it on like the
American Express or put it on the Chase because they cover,
(08:55):
you know, damaged to rental cars, so you don't need
to pay that. But she didn't trust U. She's she
went and paid herself. Well after the first week, she realized,
y oh, I think I'll go back to the rolling company.
And I think I'll take that off and put it
on the credit card just to you know whatever. But
(09:17):
I can't. I know people will tell us this because
of hail damage. I haven't had a haill claim on
a car.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
My car lives outside and that there's there's no hail damage.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Have you seen the new devices that blow up and
provide a bubble of rend your car?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Those are just funny. Hey, you know, if you can
sell them and get away with it, go for it.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Man.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh, I agree.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And if I parked that all the time and it
was springtime in Colorado and there was a storm coming,
I might go out and blow it up. I think
it's self inflates are sad. I believe so too. Yeah,
I don't think you have to do anything. So anyway,
Colorado's made another list. I think that's fantastic. The lowest
costs Now, I want you to think about this. Florida
at the highest four dollars, coming in at number fifty,
(10:04):
well fifty one, because let's let's count d C.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Where was d C?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Oh there number seven at threeenty sixteen. Coming in number
fifty one is Idaho at fourteen hundred dollars, about a
fourth of what Florida is at four two hundred and
ten dollars. I interestingly, So, you know, we had the
(10:28):
tornado at our house, well almost two years ago. Yeah,
I think it'll be two years ago sometime this spring,
and the insurance company paid out I think about one
hundred and sixty eight thousand dollars on repairs in the house.
I mean it was a whopping amount of money. So
the first renewal I got, I was like, it is
like opening, Did I get admitted to law school? Did
(10:49):
I get into law school? Do I look? Do I look?
And I get that notice and of course it's email.
I like, do I click open? Do I click open?
And I clicked open and it went up I think
three or four hundred dollars. That's not too bad. No,
it's not too bad at all. I get to renew
it for this year.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Yeah, just you wait.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
No, I opened it. I was like, what's it gonna
be this year? Open it up? About three hundred dollars?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Huh? All right?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And it's still and it's still, in my opinion, a
reasonable amount. So everybody bitches about homeowner's insurance, but I
think it's auto insurance that's the killer in the state.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Well, we have some of our leadership saying we're not
gonna arrest you for stealing cars until the third or
fourth car you steal. You know, maybe that could have
something to do with the reason why that the insurance
costs have gone up, just thinking, you know, maybe possibly so.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
At some point, I don't know where that breaking point is,
and I think that breaking point may include law abiding,
reasonable citizens who don't want to have their assets put
at risk. And obviously, you know, let's say that, I mean,
(12:06):
let's say that it had been Tammer's fault and the
damage to her car was close to four thousand dollars.
Do I want to drag four thousand dollars out of
savings or a brokerage account or something to pay for
a car. No, that's why you have auto insurance. That's
why you have any kind of insurance. But at some
point the trade off.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Becomes doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Doesn't make any sense, It doesn't make any sense at all.
And if you're willing to roll the dice, I can
hear insurance out there, agent's out there right now having
a heart attack that I'm even thinking along these lines.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
I'm pretty sure we hear in card are legally obligated
to must care.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
So how many casts? So, boy, that's the Now it's
six nineteen. It's been about what ten minutes since I
told you to f off, and now you're telling me, oh, well, Michael,
insurance is required in color routers, so you have to
have it. H Shall we go out and up the
number of cars on the twenty five or the two
(13:02):
seventy of the you know wherever they are today and
just you know, do a random check and see how
many people actually have insurance?
Speaker 3 (13:08):
You want?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Do you want to go do that?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
How many of those cars actually have those cars registered registered?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Oh, they may be registered, but it's expired. I saw
one this weekend that was two years old. Oh wow,
two years old?
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Was it one of attempt tags?
Speaker 1 (13:27):
There was no, it was a regular tag. They just
had me knew it in two years it still showed,
It still showed twenty Was it two years twenty three? Yeah? No, yeah,
it was twenty No, it was twenty twenty two. It
was twenty two because it was like April of twenty two.
Because I remember seeing the twenty two and trying to.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
It wasn't one of those idiots that like, No, I
know it was.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Like April's April. So I looked over it was no,
it was April, because I thought, well, maybe I misread
it and it's just you know it's due next month. No,
I look closer, it's twenty two speaking. I wasn't gonna
do well, wait a minute, I will do this, our friend.
And what I want to know is Gooba number zero
(14:18):
five three eight? How come you didn't leave this as
a talkback if you're what do you think? This is
the trading post? What do you have? You know? We
got Billy Bob over here online too. Billy Bob would
like to give away. He's got four chickens he'd like
to give away. Now you know what the price of
eggs are right now, and then chickens are pretty damn expensive.
(14:41):
So which is Billy's got four hens over here laying chickens,
laying eggs all day long. But Billy needs a new
trap retire.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Which is funny because we know that this person leaves
talkbacks because he signed in and signed out the same
way he does on the talkbacks.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Yes, because this is hilarious. So and now I know
who zero five three eight is too. Also yep, Mike
or Michael smart ass, you know, Good morning from Yeah,
I wish taking dam to Teyo's voice.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Good Good morning from South Dakota.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Good morning from South Dakota. If any Tesla owners are
hating on Elon Musk, I will take their tesla or
cyber truck off their hands. I won't even charge a
pickup fee. I will take them for free. Please contact
me through the situation with Michael Brown. Everyone have a
great day.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
He's not exactly wrong. I mean, I'll take anybody up
on that offer too.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I I hate the cyber trucks same but I think
they're ugly.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
But taking a free car from somebody sure.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
So somebody posted on ex over the weekend that no
wonder the cyber truck is designed the way it's supposed to.
And they have a photo of some sort of like
communist truck used in South Africa back in the thirties
or forties. I don't know how long ago it was,
but it's this big, ugly truck and they're trying to
see see Elon's just a South African communist. He was,
(16:09):
you know, a member of apartheid or something.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh he is African, so he's South African so maybe maybe.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Oh yeah, brief exactly what the hell? So let's let
me get over here to my bookmarks. Because over the weekend,
the honorable Mark Kelly, who is the senior Senator from
the pathetic state of Arizona. Because they always say, you
(16:36):
know my you know my fellow senator, my good friend,
the honorable Mark Kelly from the great state of Arizona.
Well he's one of the a holes that has already
gone out and he has traded in a Tesla. I
don't know what it was, but he's traded in a
Tesla for a vehicle. And he was to make sure
(17:01):
that you know how great he is virtue signaling.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
All right, here I am with my new ride, stubby Girl,
Sluby Tahoe here in Washington.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Du save that one is in Tucson, because.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Wow, this fund was moved by Union Roader United honand
Workers in Arlington, Texas. I was good to buy Union cars,
incredibly reliable, and I'm looking at color to drive in
this for.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Many many years. All Right, he's really excited because, by
the way, and the reason I found this is because
Mark Kelly also just recently gone on TikTok and so
now he has a TikTok account because they're all trying
to do well, they're all trying to be the cool kids.
(17:50):
So I saw his original TikTok, which led me to
this TikTok about how he has a new Chevy Tahoe
or whatever it is. Well, the great thing about X
is something called community notes. So he gets noted and
(18:11):
it's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
That's nice, good morning from South Dakota. The reason I
left that in a Texas morning instead of a talkback
is that visiting with the grandchildren on eastern South Dakota
and they were on the floor in the bedroom sleeping
like little burritos.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Everyone have a great day. So he cares more about
the sleeping grandchildren, uh huh than he does about leaving
a talk back for this program.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Or you know, like getting up and leaving the room
so they could they could continue to I mean, I'm
sure where you are all staying. It's it's not, you know,
a studio apartment. Even still in a studio apartment, you
can go outside.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
You could go outside. But then again it's you know,
it's what where is it? South Dakota, South Dakarta, Yeah,
South Dakota.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
I bet that North Dakota girl would have gone outside
in the exact not trying to start a war between
North and South Dakota, but that.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Would be fun, just saying, right, a war that nobody
care about. Gouba number seventy one, seventy one, that's a
great number. Will Tamra be joining the other teachers on
Thursday to storm the capitol? What did I miss?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
There are teachers storming the capitol?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
I guess Thursday. It says, will Tamara be joining the
other teachers on Thursday to storm the capitol? Wait a minute,
Oh oh, because this week's spring break. That's when they
can do it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Well, not everywhere, not every school district has spring break
at the same time, but sure, yeah, I'm sure why not?
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Eighty two? Oh too, Michael. I live on the north
side of the Metroplex. We have a twenty seventeen and
two twenty nineteen vehicles with high payouts because we have
a million dollar umbrella policy. We also have a homeowner's
policy with a two thousand dollars deductible. Our annual premium
was sixty threeh eight this year. Are you talking about
(20:11):
the two vehicles or the two vehicles and the homeowners.
So I need clarification on that given Amber zero four
to three three. The other day I saw a TEMP
tag that expired in twenty twenty one.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
You beat me.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Two blocks later I saw another TEMP tag.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Did you eat this one?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Dragon?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
No?
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I had none.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
Two blocks later I saw another TEMP tag that expired
in two thousand and nineteen. Wow. Now I'm not very
good at math, but this is twenty twenty five, and
that's twenty nineteen. I think that's about six years ago.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
And thinking about them, all the money that they saved,
I know, and.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
I wonder, is there a way then to take the
car to say New Mexico or Oklahoma or Kansas, and uh,
you know, do a bill a sale to like your
white spouse or somebody else, and then just go register
the car new, you know, do a new registration. You're
the new owner who ends up paying all that back
(21:15):
those back registration fees. In other words, if I, if
I was the owner of that car twenty nineteen, I
transfer title to you. You take it to Kansas as
a new owner and register it in Kansas? Do you
just pay that year's registration fee.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I'm a new owner. I don't care what the previous
owner did.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Right, Yeah, I wonder how that work because just don't
run into US zero ninety three eight. Just don't run
into a rivian repair costs are ridiculous. Oh, here we go.
We got Sarasota, Florida, which came in at number one
(21:59):
in Sarah. So to my twenty twenty two Polestar EV
I just like saying Polestar is twenty four hundred dollars.
My twenty fifteen Corvette C seven ten year anniversary April
nineteen was just reduced to eleven seventy six. Why say
(22:22):
that's not too bad ten year old car? Though? I mean,
I'm not really sure. Okay, So let's go back to
Senator Astronaut Mark Kelly. So, while Mark Kelly is dissing
on elon Musk and Tesla, his former employer in NASA
(22:46):
is relying on tests or not Tesla. I've been relying
on Musk and SpaceX to bring those stranded astronauts back.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
All right, Here I am with my new ride.
Speaker 1 (23:01):
Here in Washington.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Du say got one of these in Tucson.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
So he's got two of them. He's got two of them.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
As Wow, this one was made by Union.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Labor made by Union labor in anand workers in Arlington, Texas.
I was good to buy Union times, incredibly reliable and
I mean looking in color to drive in this floor
Testless sold in the US are made in America, with
(23:33):
a majority of their parts coming from the United States.
The Chevy Tahoe does not qualify for the Made in
America label under the American autand would be a labeling
act since only a small fraction of its assembly occur
even just even a small fraction of the assembly only
(23:55):
occurs in Arlington, Texas. Old domestic content score at thirty
seven percent according to co god dot America dot edu.
They're Auto index for twenty twenty two or Business Insider,
these cars are the most made in America. Uh and
(24:19):
let's see what they list. Oh oh no, I don't
want to log it. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna
log it and do it right now. So a trade
in from a car that's one hundred percent American made
to a car that's eighty two percent point five eighty
two point five percent American made is a step down.
(24:41):
That's according to Detroit News, the Chevy Tahoe is not
one percent US parts, only thirty seven percent domestic content,
yet it is indeed partly assembled in the US by
United Auto Workers. Six Tesla models have greater than eighty
(25:01):
percent domestic content. Tesla is the only American automaker whose
workers are not represented by a union. Again, according to Wikipedia,
or I mean the Book of Knowledge ORKBB dot com.
Isn't it fascinating this whole idea that I'm going to
(25:25):
stick it to Elon Musk Because you've already purchased the Tesla,
you may have already had a service by a Tesla dealer.
And my guess is someone like Mark Kelly who can
afford it because the taxpayers are paying his salary and
(25:46):
he's getting all of the insider trading, and he's getting
probably a you know, pension from NASA, so he's double dipping.
My guess is that. Oh, and get Gabby Giffords, former
congressman from Arizona. She probably has a some sort of
pension too. So they're a lot more wealthy. They're wealthier
than you and I are. They probably have a charging
(26:08):
station built into their homes in DC and in Arizona.
So this is the very definition of virtue signaling. So
I kept trying to think, how possibly could they be
sticking it to Elon Musk. Now, I assume when you
(26:30):
trade in a Tesla that a dealer, so he goes
to a Chevy dealership in Tucson. I assume that Chevy
dealer will take the Tesla as a trade in Okay.
So are they gonna scrap it? Are they gonna take
it to the auto auction and just point it off
(26:53):
because they can't deal with it? Because if they do that,
because the only the only effect that I I think
it would possibly have is that you've now increased the
supply of used Teslas. So you're driving down the price
of used Teslas because you're putting more of them into
the market. But that means you've exposed more people to Tesla.
(27:19):
So people that could not afford a new Tesla but
wanted one are now able to get one. So it's
one virtue signaling you're not accomplishing anything. And you would
think that someone that is an astronaut and the United
States senator would understand basic economics, would understand that you're
(27:45):
actually making an idiot of yourself.
Speaker 4 (27:48):
And I just.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
I'm befuddled by the dumba. No, I'm not I'm not
befuddled at all. This is the stupidity of the Democrat
Party right now. And think about what they're protesting that
you could say that you can make an argument. I'll
see this argument. You can make an argument that they're
(28:12):
protesting Elon Musk and they don't like Elon Musk because
he's the richest man in the world. Okay, well, are
you anti capitalists? Are you anti SpaceX? Are you anti Starlink?
Are you anti boring Company? Are you anti PayPal? Are
you anti Tesla? Are you? I mean, why, he's the
(28:33):
he personifies innovation and capitalism. And what's he doing. Let's
set aside all of his private sector business. What's he
doing in the public sector? Oh, he's exposing waste, fraud
(28:53):
and abuse. Is that what you're protesting? Because I think
that it is. I think what you're doing is you're
upset because he's exposing your grift. He's exposing how all
of you have got all of these You know, it
was revealed over maybe not over the weekend, but I
saw it over the weekend that JB. Pritzker, the heir
(29:17):
to the Hyatt hotel family, his family has something like
they're involved in thirty two. By involved, I mean they're
a part of thirty two different NGOs, all of which
they're getting money from the federal government. These a holes. God,
(29:38):
I wish I could say that word in the air,
because this is truly what they are today. They're absolutely
a holes that are grifting off hard working Americans at
anyone that's paying federal income tax, or if you don't,
your grandchildren, who are going to be left with this
thirty two thirty seven, thirty nine trillion dollar national debt,
(29:58):
whatever it is today, it changes every day that we're
gonna have to somehow pay for. They're they're double triple,
quadruple dipping on the American taxpayers, and that's what they
object to. They they don't want the waste, fraud, and
abuse exposed. They don't want to reduce the size of government.
(30:21):
This is why I think that the Democrat Party's poll
numbers are the lowest in the history of the Democrat Party,
because they want the grift to keep going.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
In Colorado, you're an immigrant, you don't need a driver's license,
insurance or a registered car of insurances.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
View at that point, I'm sure that helps with the
r rate. Sneering in Colorado. There's there's so many factors
and that, and then those are factors because of unsured motors.
So you got to you know you, my my free
(31:02):
non legal advice is certainly do not go without uninsured
motorist coverage, and of course the weather. But I also
think that insurance companies, and I know I sound like
a liberal when I say this, but they don't care.
(31:24):
They don't care there whatever their margin is. I don't
know what the profit margin is on auto insurance, but
they want to maintain that and they're going to maintain
it at all costs. And then you've got the inflationary
pressures of just you know, you think about of course,
I can never I can never repair a car anyway
(31:45):
I have. I have zero skills. I can change the oil,
change a flat, uh, probably change out a battery. Beyond that,
probably windshield wipers. Can't do much beyond that, and everything
is I think about, even the Jeep Grand Cherokee so
much computerized. So repair costs are outrageous. But at some
(32:07):
point people will no longer be able to afford that,
and they'll make a choice. Do we want to buy
groceries or do we want to run the risk that
we just hope that we don't get hit or that
we don't hit someone else. It's a horrible choice to make,
but I think people will make that choice. So I
(32:27):
just casually mentioned the fact about or somebody had asked
me if timer was going to storm the Capitol on Thursday.
I didn't realize this. Here's a message from Adam's twelve
five star schools. Hear five star community. Adam's twelve five
star schools will now they don't have spring break. Let
(32:52):
me emphasize they don't have spring break in the Adams
twelve school district, but they will be closed on Thursday.
Adam's twelve five star schools will be closed for students
on Thursday, March twenty, twenty twenty five, due to labor shortages.
This decision has been made because hundreds of teachers have
(33:13):
indicated they will take personal leave on that Thursday to
participate in the Colorado Education Associations the unions planned statewide
rally of educators at the Capitol. Due to insufficient staffing,
we are unable to maintain our commitment to a safe
and productive learning environment. As a result, there will be
(33:34):
no school for students on Thursday. March twentieth. Although students
will not be present, this remains a workday for all
school and district employees. Those not at work that day
must use personal time. What we will continue on March
twenty after school, athletics and activities will proceed as scheduled
unless you hear differently from the school. Childcare childcare we
(33:58):
offer childcare at schools. I'm some kind of naive. Childcare
will only be available for families currently enrolled in base,
whatever the hell base is. Families will hear directly from
their base director with additional information and locations. What will
not take place on March twenty Field trips and activities
originally scheduled during the school day will not proceed unless
(34:20):
you hear differently from your school. No make up day
will be necessarily unless we have multiple snow days before
the end of the school year. We apologize for any
inconvenience that many cause our families. Our hope is that
making you aware of the situation and with advanced noticeable health,
families make arrangements. All schools will be open and operate
on normal schedule for Friday, March twenty one. Thank you
(34:41):
for your partnership in supporting student success in the five
Star district. Now background, according to the Union, they're promoting
a day of action for educators to rally at the
Colorado State capital because quote, the Colorado Legislature is considering
an almost one hundred and fifty million dollars cut education funding.
(35:04):
Because if governor police this proposed student count averaging chain
So you don't care about the kids at all, You're going,
why not just take why not protest Friday too, Just
take
