Yesterday, to astronauts returned to Earth that were stranded for
several months. The Pooties were bombed, and Trump had peace
talks with the Russian president. Whereas Trump calls it tuesday.
Everyone have a great day.

Last or sometime yesterday. I'm doing my.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Uh show prep, which is just you know, I'm I'm
I'm skimming porn is what I'm really doing. You know,
I call it show prep. I just I just look
at porn all day long. And then I come across
the story. Now I'm holding in my hand right now, dragon,
you see what I'm holding.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
You have got an air tag.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
I got an air tag, and I come across this
story that.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Let's see where did it go? Now? Dang it? What
did I do? Did I did? I?

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Well? At least nobody can ever say you don't come prepared.
Well you just have it in your hand.

Speaker 3 (01:01):
No, no, no, no, I'm trying to find the story that
I had pulled up, okay from because it had a
great it had. Well, let me go back to Oh,
I know it's on my put or profile. That's where
I'll go. I can pull it back up there. Here
we go. So I'm reading. I'm reading through and I

(01:24):
come across this story. Let's get through the advertisement first
and then and I'll play the story for you. But
here's the headline, Denver Popo, although I think it says
police Denver Police to give out free air tags Apple
air Tags.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Nice. I'll take a free air tag.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
There, I just I had the Apple website up. You
can get a package of three for ninety nine or
one for twenty nine.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Yeah, that saves me thirty bucks. I'll take it.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
So, or you know you got three you have three cars.
You have three cars, so the package is actually saving you.
And they're free.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
They're free free.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
So here is let me pause this and then unmute it,
and then let's take a listen to this story.

Speaker 5 (02:09):
Well, how does this all work? Yeah, I mean very
interesting concept.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, I mean a very interesting concept. I'm not quite sure, Garrett.

Speaker 6 (02:19):
You know, we're talking about Denver, a city where just
years ago we were high up in the nation, number
one in the nation for car that's getting a nationwide attention.
There's been a number of different efforts to try and
reduce the numbers, some very successful in the last few years.
Let's talk about today the new effort to try to

(02:40):
catch bad guys in action, prevent that's all together.

Speaker 5 (02:42):
It has to do with air tags.

Speaker 6 (02:44):
So four hundred fifty free air tags, Colorado Auto Theft
Prevention Authority.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Four hundred and fifty. What's the population in Denver? How
many cars were registered in Denver, Colorado?

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Slightly more than that? Okay?

Speaker 6 (02:56):
Or KATPA is partnering with DPD to give these air
tag and smart tag Bluetooth location tracking devices to Denver
residents who register for the Denver Track Auto Theft Prevention program.
Now keyword register here. This is starting at two pm today.
Denver residents can sign up for a time slot for
an in person Denver Track registration and track or giveaway event.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
So you can do this.

Speaker 6 (03:22):
We just put it on our website. There's a low
link run.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
What's funny about this is this video. This is from
yesterday on KDVR. While she's talking, well the little reporterett
is talking, their b roll is of it's the twenty
five near Santa Fe. So it because I can see
the overhead signs and it's just b role of just hundreds,

(03:49):
if not thousands of cars backed up on the crappy
twenty five. The porty maintained trashy dirty I twenty five,
I might add, So she's talking about four hundred and
fifty air tags that we're going to be given away
yesterday at two pm. If you showed up, got your

(04:12):
little time slot, and you showed up to register your
car to be tracked by the Denver Police Department, and
that fantastic. Yeah, that's fantastic because I've seen more than
four hundred and fifty cars in the B role that
they've been playing. Then they have cars to give away,
the air tags to give.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Away right there.

Speaker 6 (04:29):
Then if you do get that registration slot, the in
person events will start tomorrow the nineteenth, then continue the
twentieth and the twenty first from six to eight pm.
They'll be at Denver six different district stations.

Speaker 5 (04:43):
Now what is this track program?

Speaker 6 (04:45):
Well, it started in twenty twenty three, one of those
newer attempts to curb best where drivers. They'll pre authorize
Denver officers to work with GPS information on your car
if it's reported stolen, getting them that location info quicker
they can try to catch the person that stole your
car and get it back too faster.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
I do stress.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
At no point our officers able to access any GPS
or tracking directly. It's actually the driver, the car owner
who contacts their GPS service or finds their location and
shares it with officers or gives them the verbal consent
to get it in real time. Now we actually are
speaking with Denver police and KATA at nine point thirty today.

(05:28):
I want to ask some more questions because I know
we've covered stories in the past where people have the location,
share it with police and tell us that it's still
a big wait time. So we're wondering if this preauthorization
actually makes that go away. You know what the results are,
But any effort to really curb Karthef's great news here
in Denver report.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Oh see, Now that's there's so much unpacked there because
the thing that probably drives me the baddest is what
does she have an essence submit at the very end,
And we're not really sure this is going to do anything,
but it makes us feel.

Speaker 6 (06:01):
Good authorization actually makes that go away? Oh you know
what the results are, But any effort to really curb
car deffs great news here.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Any effort we do anything, it's great news and we'll
cover it right here on KDVR. Now, don't get me wrong,
I love KDVR. They're probably the most objective news station
in the entire state. But good grief, come on the
Then here's the first sentence in the story. In the

(06:30):
in the printed's printed story, the Denver Police Department is
giving away free air tags. They're not free, somebody paid
for them. The Denver Police departments are giving away free
air tags to help prevent car thefts and to catch
these quicker. So I've got questions. I got some questions.
I get an air tag in my backpack, and let's

(06:52):
seehere else. I've got a couple of other I'd have
to look at my phone. I've got a couple of
air tags, and I track some of my I track
some of my devices, which I don't have to do
with an air tag. But I keep one of my
backpack in particular because sometimes I might be in this
building and i've left. Now, I generally always carry my backpack.

(07:15):
Let's just say I usually I don't leave my backpack
laying around.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
Well at the top of the RP break, I mean,
you do leave it in the studio, but you're not
far away.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I'm not far away, and I don't and there's nobody
else here. True, right, So I'm not really worried about that.
But there is a reason why I keep my backpack
with me at all times. And if if Dragon were decided,
if Dragon decided to steal my backpack and drive, you know,
drive away with it, uh, the air tag did nothing

(07:46):
to prevent that from being from happening. If you put
the air tag in your car and your car's parked
out front of this building or your house or wherever else,
and a thief breaks into it and steals your car,
the air tag does nothing to that's the car theft.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
What's even more awesome about the whole Apple devices and
everything is they now give you a warning on your
phone if an unknown AirTag device is following you. So
I'll get the notification after I've stolen your bag, going
I've got an air tag following me, I will rifle
through your bag, find the air tag, throw it out

(08:23):
the window, keep the bag.

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Well no, I well, that's true if you have an iPhone. True,
And that presupposes that the car thieves have an iPhone.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
That's the most popular phone out there, so.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well true, And then that they that they would have
the brains because First of all, they stole the car,
so they don't have any brains to begin with. And
then second that they have the brains to check to
see if there's an air tag following them.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Well, mine, mine vibrates on me. Here's an unknown air
tag following you. Oh okay, then I can and you
kind of like that vibration, don't you? Totally okay? Keep
in the pocket on the left side. But yes, I will.
I will the item that I have stolen, whether it
be the car or the bag, I'll rifle through that,
find the air tag, throw it out the window. Now

(09:08):
I've got a free car, that's.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Right, a free car, and.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
You and you still have the problem of Now I
don't know if any way, if you register, if you
go to they claim that the Denver Police Department cannot
track you until you notify them. But I'm not quite
sure that's what they really mean. I think what they
really mean is that the Denver Police Department can't track

(09:35):
you period because, for example, nobody except me can track
this particular air tag because it's registered on my phone.
I'm not sure I can register my like I'm not
sure I could register this air tag on two separate phones,
Like I could register on my phone and then register
it on Dragon's phone.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
Would you then have to give them your Apple account?

Speaker 3 (09:55):
In fact, see that's what. No, that ain't happening. That
ain't happening. So this is total, complete bull crap. But
here we go again about the Democrats in liberal The
Democrats in Colorado think that somehow that this First of all,
it's nothing more than.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
Where where did the money come from?

Speaker 3 (10:17):
Four hundred and fifty air tags now divided by three
times ninety nine whatever that amount is. I know that's
a piddly little amount, but nonetheless it's bull crap and
it's meant to it, and it's what do they do?
They issue a press release and then the local media
picks it up, and the media runs with this story,
all making you feel good like they're doing something. They're

(10:38):
really doing something, at least this reporter, whoever, this particular
reporter was, I mean, for fifteen grand, fifteen grand is
what it is. Yeah, okay, then you have to pay
the officers to be out there and hand them out
and everything. So however long that's.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Going, and that's like over a three day period or something.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
Just said set up the website for the applications, all
that kind of stuff. So it costs more than that.
So well read twenty twenty.

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Yeah, okay, And as she admitted in the story itself.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
Try to catch the person that stole your car and
get it back to you faster.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
They do strap so.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Your car gets stolen, then they can track it, and
then they can maybe get it back to you faster
before they completely demolish it.

Speaker 6 (11:20):
Is it no point are officers able to access any
GPS or tracking directly.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
It's actually the I like the word directly.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
They can't do it directly. Well, does that mean they
can do it indirectly?

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Driver the car owner who contacts their GPS service or
finds their location and shares it with officers or gives
them the verbal consent to get it in really.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Now that bothers me? Or you give them the verbal
consent to get it. So do they already have a
way to get it? And if I call Denver Police
Department and say, hey, my car's been stolen, they'll go, oh, well,
what's your you know, what's your Apple air tag number
or serial number?

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Whatever? Do they do they have a way to do it.

Speaker 4 (12:07):
We also do have a couple of text messages saying
that the Android phones will actually also tell you if
an air tag is following.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
Oh they will, so not just the apple for all.

Speaker 6 (12:17):
Right, Well, time now we actually are speaking with Denver
police and KATA at nine point thirty today. I want
to ask some questions because I know we've covered stories
in the past where people have the location, share it
with police and tell us that it's still a big
wait time.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
So at least Katie dr spoke the truth. Right.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Do you think Kyle Clark over at Channel nine is
gonna speak the tree? Do you think he'll do that?

Speaker 2 (12:43):
I don't know. I haven't heard, so I don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
But the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority, what the hell
is that? Well, if you go to the Colorado State
Patrol website CSP dot Colorado dot gov, you'll see that,
you know, here's here's a they have a pro gram director,
they got a grant manager, oh, a grant manager. They
got a program assistant Media inquiries for insurance assessment. And

(13:08):
then here it is present to Caliber revised Statue forty
two five, the CAPTA office is limited to no more
than eight percent of the moneys in the fund, whereby
these moneies may be used for operational and administrative expenses
of the authority. They have four full time staff to organize, administer,

(13:29):
and report to the board.

Speaker 2 (13:31):
Well great, what have you been doing? What you been doing?

Speaker 3 (13:36):
These processes involve the department, the development and education of
grant guidelines.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
So this is just about getting money, the use.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
Of the color add grants management system, providing solicitation and
instructions for appetants, and performing conformance tests to grant awards, monitoring, oversight, reporting,
and administrative compliance and financial stewardship. That's the statue. That's
the enabling statute, according to the website. So what is
the in a nutshell wants to call it Attle Theft
Prevention Authority a money laundering scheme. Yes, it's a state

(14:09):
agency by which you will pay fees. I assume when
you get your license plates for your cars, you get
your tags, and then they've gone out and they've gotten
a grant from the state or from the Fed somewhere,
and now they've got what'd you say, it was fifteen
grand or.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
Something for yeah, for the tags themselves.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah, So they wrote a grant and they got fifteen
grand from the FEDS or somebody and then they bought
and they went to Apple, which is great because that
helps my stock price of my Apple stock, so that's
really good. And then they give them away and they
get all this press about how we're doing all of
this work to help stop auttle thefts in Colorado.

Speaker 4 (14:47):
I would also like to point out that, yes, sir, yeah,
typical air tag battery last roughly a year. So come
April twenty twenty six, all those car thiefs out.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
There, everybody's just fine, that's right, just just saying, yeah,
just make sure you just you know, I wonder if
there's a way to like detect before you get in
the car, if there's an air tag in the car.
I mean, I don't considering the phone call I had
this morning about someone being hacked.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
You know, my guess is there probably is.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
I know, for the when they're moving with you, that's
when you get those notifications, whether or not. One's just like,
I'm not going to get a notification saying Michael's AirTag is,
you know, fifteen feet away from me.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Now I do get a notification because I had to
change it because sometimes I would on my phone get
a notification when I went to take a whiz during
the break find I will get me an alert.

Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah, you're too far away, too far away from your bag. Yeah,
I had to change.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
That your stuff to your stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
Right.

Speaker 4 (15:47):
That's not going to say my stuff to your stuff
or your stuff to my stuff.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
Right.

Speaker 3 (15:51):
But we you know, but as long as we got
stuff to stuff and we know where people's stuff is,
then we don't care.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
Because you won't know where that stuff is in a
year when the battery well, the lower it is.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
In a year.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
And as they point out on KDVR, you call and
you say, hey, find my says my car is at
forty six ninety five South Monico, Denver, Colorado, eight.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
O two three seven. Would you please go? You know,
someone stolen my car. It's there, Would you go get it?
Nine one one? What's your emergency? My my, my car
has been stolen.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Please hold, we'll get to it in three hours.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
We'll get to it in three hours, we'll get to
it in three days.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
Should the car will still be there?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Sure? Well, the car will still be there.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
You know why because it's been stripped of everything, or
it's got so much ventoyl or heroin or whatever else
in this in the inside that you know you can,
you're gonna have to have a few. Well, you're gonna
empty you know it, just totally totally, that's right, they're
gonna go total, absolutely totally. Let's see under the UH
State Patrol to see there's talk with us when happs
you hit the Talk with Us tab, select a service

(16:51):
blow you can talk to a p IO, the Central
Records Unit, file a compliment or a complaint. Recruiting headquarters
off this blah blah blah blah blah.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
You know.

Speaker 3 (17:02):
The other thing that I've noticed lately, just as long
as we're talking about bull crap that goes on, and
is why now all of a sudden is the collagist
State Patrol and the Denver Police Department and other jurisdictions
around the state, not just those two now posting on
Facebook photos of the radar with the car that they've

(17:24):
stopped in front of them. Why look, I stopped this
guy doing eighty five miles an hour in a forty
five mile an hour zone.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
He's gonna lose his license or he's going to do
this or that?

Speaker 4 (17:34):
Is that a look at me? I'm doing my job.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
I think so it's so bizarre or I think it's
also be afraid, don't you speed. We're gonna get you.
We're gonna catch you somewhere. Because we're posting it on Facebook.
I'm not really sure that the people that are reading
Facebook like I am, really give a ratsass that you
caught somebody out.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
There and outside of the news organizations. Who follows the
police department on Facebook?

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Which raises a good question, why is that showing up
in my news feet because I've seen at least three
photos they're all very similar, Neil. They got the photo
of the radar with the car kind of out of
focus right in front of them, and they got some
caption about little this guy's in good trouble. Now what
did he did? He steal air tags or what air tag? Well,

(18:24):
there's your BF for the morning, Tobo ball crap that
makes you feel good, doesn't it.

Speaker 7 (18:37):
Hey, Good morning, Michael Dragon. Actually, if you do have
an Android of roller two an AirTags following you, I
had somebody put one in a semi trailer I was pulling.
I got the Dan red er Yard can even make
it beat trying.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
To find it?

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Somebody put it so great.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
But anyways, have a great day, guys.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Goober number sixty six twenty one. You're right, Michael, State Patrol.
I assume you mean colorless. State Patrol has turned all
of their all of the all of their comments off
after getting trashed for supporting these protests downtown.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Of what protests are you talking?

Speaker 3 (19:20):
I know that there's a protest scheduled for tomorrow Thursday
because some of the school districts are closing schools because
they lend me teachers because the teachers are out protesting.
Those are don't have spring break this week. So what
I need more details? I need more details? Nine zero
six zero rights, Michael. I find it fascinating that our

(19:41):
government has no problem spending money on Apple and Microsoft products,
but when Elon Musk wants to give Starlink to FOB
to help with communications in the disaster area, or we
can do that because he's.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
A billionaire or a millionaire.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, And of course this goes without saying eighty three
seventy eight, Michael, if you or I went to the
Apple store, we could get three air tags from.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Ninety nine dollars. But this is the government.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
You know, they paid no less than five hundred thousand
dollars for four hundred and fifty air tags. Well, in
to Dragon's point, it's not just the cost of the
air tags. There's the cost of the public Information officer
who had to write the press release send it out.
And then there's the person that, probably the same PIO
that does all the interviews with the local media about
what a great program this is. They've got to maintain

(20:27):
the website. Then they have to do all of the
you know what is it today, Tomorrow and Friday. They're
doing the registrations from six to eight pm. That's probably
outside normal work hours, so there'll probably be some overtime.
And then, by the way, somebody I think this is Kathleen,
told me that Captain is a citizen volunteer board. Yes, you,

(20:49):
if you are a good conservative, you should apply to
be on that board because maybe you could eventually eliminate it. Yep,
you could do that. Let's see, Michael, the money came
from USAID, don't you know anything, Well, of course he
came from USAID.

Speaker 2 (21:06):
Android.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
Yeah, plus all the overhead to issue the air tags.
That's right, and well, of course fifty five sixty six, Mike,
be honest, it's the taxpayer that's paying for it.

Speaker 2 (21:15):
Duh.

Speaker 3 (21:17):
Of course we're paying for it. That's why I make
a joke about it being free. They're not free or
thirty six oh two, Michael, do you want the government
to know the location of your car? Privacy? You know
what bugs me about privacy in the state. It's non existent.
So you know on the four seventy and now on

(21:38):
the on the gap projects out between Castle Rock and
Color out of springs, on the express lanes, on the
seventy and the twenty five, I suppose everywhere now they've
got these cameras that catch you and those same So
I had to renew the tags on the jeep. So
I had I may or made not I have told

(21:59):
this story, but I'm pissed. I'm still pissed off about it.
So my Chatfield pass, my Chatfield State Park Pass, expired
the end of December. So in January I got I
got a new park pass, knowing that I was going
to renew my plates in March for the jeep, so

(22:19):
I was going to get a refund because I thought, well,
I paid seventy five dollars or whatever it is for
the stupid Chatfield pass, why not just do the twenty
nine dollars and then I'll get a pro rated refund. Well,
they stopped the pro rated refunds unbeknownst to me until
I went online to get the refund. So I paid
seventy five dollars for the Chatfield Pass plus the twenty
nine dollars for the stupid you know, Keep Colorado Wild

(22:41):
Pass or whatever it is. So anyway, screw screw you Colorado.
But you know how they track you when you get
when you get the little collar keep Colorado Wild thing
on your registration paper because I checked it at Chatfield yesterday.
The exact same setup cameras that they use to read

(23:02):
your license plate on the express lanes they have set
up to the entrance of Chatfield State Park. So every
time I drive through with the jeep with the dogs,
they take a little picture of my tag and run
it through their system to see if I've paid my
park fee to get into the park. There is no
privacy in the state, no privacy anywhere. And then there's

(23:24):
this text message, which I feel compelled to answer because
you make a good point, but you're missing another point entirely.
This comes from ninety four eighty three. I'm not quite sure.
I have to look up your area code, but Mike,
If you really want to help the Republicans, then consider this.

(23:44):
State governments make money from businesses in more ways than one.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Gee, master of the obvious.

Speaker 3 (23:51):
Really, if you stay where you are, then liberal Colorado
is getting money from you. Several states such as Texas
and Florida and Louisiana would welcome you number one. I'm
not quite sure Louisiana would welcome me. In fact, that
reminds me I need to respond to a reporter.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
In Louisiana because they want to do an interview about something.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yeah, Texas and Florida they might welcome me, But Louisiana,
I'm not sure. But let's be honest. I don't want
to live in Florida. I certainly don't want to live
in Louisiana. I might consider Texas, but not really. But
when you find me, because I love I love the
job that I do, when you find me a pro

(24:34):
a radio program that will make as much money as
I make now now the nationally syndicated program I can
do from anywhere. But I'm not quite sure that iHeart
Denver would be happy if I were doing this program,
say from the Key TRH studios in Houston. I'm not
quite sure they'd be happy about that. So I understand

(24:56):
that in many ways I'm supporting the Democrats because I
pay state income tax, I pay property taxes, I pay
sales taxes. I pay taxes out the wazoo all the time.
But this is where I live, this is where I work,
So I'm going to continue to bash heads as long
as I can. And you know, if you packed up

(25:20):
and left, good for you. Maybe you have a job
that allows you to do that.

Speaker 4 (25:25):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Let's see, there's another Colorado story that I wanted to
do this morning, because this one when I was doing
my research last yesterday for my Michael Brown minette. The
Denver Gazette, which I blasted earlier in the day for
another story, had this headline. Colorado building owners faced seventeen
million dollars per year fine under Energy Bill, a measure

(25:51):
aimed at easing some of the near term requirements from
a twenty twenty one law that seeks to reduce greenhouse emissions,
is facing opposite from the industry it claims to be assisting,
with businesses noting the bill allows for tens of millions
of dollars in fines. Now listen to this bull crap.
I mean, this is how again, how stupid this state is.

(26:14):
House Bill twelve sixty nine, sponsored by Democrats, of course,
wants to ease some of the requirements outlawed in this
stupid energy bill that created the Colorado Energy Office back
in twenty twenty one. Under that bill, the old bill,
buildings that are larger than fifty thousand square feet, which

(26:37):
equates to more than eighty three hundred buildings in this
state are required mandated to achieve a seven percent reduction
in greenhouse gas emissions by next year. Now, so the
building owners have said, this is impossible. If you would
designate this as a goal instead of a require, will try,

(27:01):
But as one person points out, for their building a
loan it would cost them one million dollars. And this
is not a giant like downtown office building. This is
just a standard you know, like Strip mall kind of
place A million dollars to outfit it with more sustainable
energy or whatever bull craft they want to do. Well,

(27:25):
the critics maintain that the quick Transition is failing to
protect American consumers, particularly low income residents. Why are we
always concerned about low income residents? I mean, it's not
that we shouldn't be concerned about low income residents, but
this affects everybody. I don't care how much money you make. iHeartMedia.

(27:45):
This building is obviously more than five thousand square feet
or fifty thousand square feet. So this building, to meet
the requirements, would have to reduce its carbon footprint by
seven percent next year or it's going to face all
these fine.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
We probably have to get rid of a big diesel
generator too.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
We got our back that I love when they test it.
It's good, that smell good, its great. It makes so
much noise. I'm sure that the condo owners just to
the north of us really love it when we're when
we crank that thing up to keep.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
The power on. But you know what, buyer, beware before
you rent it.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
You should have should have checked around, Hey, are there
any noises around you or anything. So now the Democrats
are trying to which shows you. Well, just listen to this.
While building owners and real estate developers applauded the bill's provisions.

Speaker 2 (28:34):
To relax the deadlines that their view as unachievable.

Speaker 3 (28:38):
They are worried about the bill's creation of the Building
Decarbonization Enterprise. So in order to satisfy the building owners
who are complaining legitimately that we can't meet these requirements.
They're they're like, okay, well, we're going to drop the requirement,
uh temporarily, but we're also going to create a new

(28:59):
building Decarbonization Enterprise. And what's that going to do. That's
going to have the state provide technical and financial assistance,
financial assistance? Where's that coming from taxpayers? To help building
owners implement the changes necessary to meet Colorado's decarbonization requirements?

(29:24):
And that new organization is going to cost building owners
a four hundred dollars annual feet. Oh, you know what,
that's kind of I hadn't thought about that number. Let's
let's do that calculation real quickly. So there are at
least eighty three hundred times four hundred dollars to maintain this.
So three point three million dollars taken out of the

(29:47):
private sector, taken out of building owners profits to fund
the Building Decarbonization Enterprise, which will do what, Oh, they're
going to provide technical and financial assistance any laundering scheme.
In one part of the story, they point out that
the here it is, the twenty twenty one bill carried

(30:11):
a maximum penalty of five thousand dollars per month, which
is obviously sixty thousand dollars per year. House Bill twelve
sixty nine that they're currently considering the Politbureau will remove
that cap and revert the fee to forty seven thousand,
three hundred and fifty seven dollars per day per violation.

(30:37):
Wait a minute, so you're you're going to make it
a goal, but you're going to increase the fine if
the insanity never stops.

Speaker 4 (30:46):
My mama told me to grow up and be something.
I'm irredeemably deplorable.

Speaker 3 (30:52):
I'm garbage and I'm greedy. I really ah, maybe I'll
do it right now anyway, because Chuck Schumer went on
the view. Now, why would Chuck Schumer go on the
view because he knows that the clapping seals that are

(31:16):
a part of the view are going to love what
he has to say. But he also goes on the
view because Chuck Schumer's under attack, and I think it's
absolutely hilarious. So why is he under attack? Because they
capitulated and they voted for the continuing Resolution that funds
the government for another what a few months or something,

(31:37):
and the far left wing of the Democrat Party, the
progressive Marxist wing, but they pretty much all are, including
Chuck Schumer in my opinion. In fact, if you listen
to what he says in just a second, you'll realize
that Chuck Schumer probably is a Marxist because they don't believe,

(31:58):
to your point from the talkback, you are a deplorable
and you have a horrible attitude about your own life
and your job.

Speaker 8 (32:07):
Listen to this, and you know what their attitude is.
I made my money all by myself. How dare your
government take my money from me? I don't want to
pay taxes? Or I built my company with my bare hands.
How dare your government tell me how I should treat
my customers, the land and water that I owned, or
my employees.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
They hate governments.

Speaker 8 (32:29):
Government's a barrier to people, a barrier to stop them
from doing things. They want to destroy it.

Speaker 2 (32:35):
We are not letting them do it, and we're united. Wow.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Wow, that's really what they believe. You work hard, whether
you own a business or you work for a business,
or you're retired and you've got your investments and you're
living off your retirement that you've saved and worked for.
They think that's their money, and that if you have

(33:05):
the attitude that I built this business, this is Barack Obama,
this is Barack Obama redo the same thing all over again.
They truly believe that everybody, all of you driving to
work this morning, all of you that are you know,
working from home, that not government workers, but other people

(33:25):
that might be working from home. You're making phone calls,
you're trying to sell stuff, you're doing whatever you're doing,
they believe, They truly believe that what you're doing is
to support them. And in fact that it kind of
is what we're doing, isn't it when you look at
the amount of taxes that we pay. But then for

(33:46):
us to say, wait a minute, you're over regulating us,
you're you're spying on us, you're doing all of these things,
and we're sick of it and we wanted to stop.
Then you suddenly become the bad guy. Why it's it's
totally inverted. It's totally upside down inside out. They work

(34:06):
for us, and if you can't, if you can't live
within your means, you know what happens in the private sector.
You end up well, you end up broke, or you
end up going to buy ankruptcy court and doing a
Chapter seven in liquidating or doing a Chapter eleven or thirteen.
If the business or an individual and you start reorganizing

(34:26):
your debts, you do whatever you can do. This company
right year has done it, Airlines do it, Businesses do
it all the time. I think we've you know, I
don't know. I mean, it was obviously royal the financial markets,
but maybe that's that's okay. But in terms of what

(34:47):
Trump's trying to do to keep the do you know
that the tax cuts if they expire, that your taxes
are that all taxes paid by by by individuals and
business well all individuals. Businesses don't really pay taxes their
customers do their clients do? Seven trillion dollars seven trillion
dollars more sucked out of the private economy, out of

(35:09):
the private sector, and this a hole. The Senate minority
leader believes that, Oh, no, what's wrong with you? Oh
do you want to keep your own money? You don't
want government? No, I want government to do what it
should be doing. Do you want government to be doing everything?

Speaker 2 (35:27):
That's the difference
