Speaker 1 (00:00):
The interview of Tucker Carlson with former Congressman Kurt Weldon.
Will take many people down a rabbit hole. Not sure
where everybody is on the spectrum of what you believe,
what you don't believe. But we should all agree on
something that we should be able to ask our government
questions and when things don't make sense, they should provide
(00:20):
honest answers instead of covering up in line about so
many things that should be our baseline at a minimum.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's early.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Hey, I'm John Caldera. No, I do not know where
Michael Brown is. He doesn't tell me anymore.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Although he's looking forward to getting shot in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
And I was going to say we could just you know,
check his check his ankle bracelet. And I think that's
a good tracker what you're doing in Chicago.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Some speaking engagement in dodging bullets, Hey, speaking engagement in
dodging bulls.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And judging bulls.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Not just because he's Michael Brown, just because he's in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yes, very similar to Colorado.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Well good, you know Chicago deserves him. Hey, give me
a call three O three seven one three eight two
five five seven to one three talk really, just just
to start your morning up in a stupid way. The
world's first sperm race will take place before a live audience.
(01:38):
I'm just reading it, all right, I'm just reading it
a live audience of more than a thousand people and
where else but Los Angeles this week. Ironically, even though
the event has thousands of spectators for the matchup, they
won't be actually able to see the participants.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's just what it sounds like, a race between sperm.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
On its website, sperm Racing, the name of the startup
organizes the sperm races, explains that it's built a special
microscopic racetrack for the two sperm samples.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
We don't need to see the creation of the sperm, Dewey, It's.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Just you have to pay extra for that too early.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What makes the racetrack unique is that it mimics the
reproductive system, chemical symbols, dynamic fluid and synchronized starts. Importantly,
you won't be able to to actually work watch the
sperm since there and I'm reading this really small, Although
(02:48):
not to worry, sperm Racing says we'll track each sperm's
movement with a high resolution camera to track its microscopic moves.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Don't tell me. Is there betting on this event, the
one million dollar event? Oh boy, if.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You thought it was a huge joke, you're not alone.
I'm reading from a column. I thought the founders of
sperm Racing were just how to troll us. However, according
to Traded, an outlet that publishes news about venture capital
and other investments, the startup recently raised one million dollars
for its sperm race. While sperm Racing does place a
(03:26):
lot of emphasis on the race itself, the startup says
the project is about something much bigger, male fertility, and
it's company of manifesto. They cite that male fertility is
declining and that no one's really talking about it, and
(03:48):
at twenty twenty two study found that human sperm count
has fallen by more than fifty percent around the world.
That's over the last fifty years, sparking a controversy and
alarm alung among male fertility experts and rejoicing from female
(04:11):
fertility experts.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Really, here's the quote.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I think one of the fundamental functions of any species
is reproduction.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, every man thinks that, So I.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Think if there's a signal that reproduction is in decline,
I think it's a very important issue, said the urologist
and professor at Stanford on a CNN interview.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
All right, where do all the sperm go? God?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
No, it's just too early for those jokes. I'm not
gonna I had a whole routine. I am not doing
it because I am mature now. God, it stinks being mature.
Three or three one, three, eight, two, five five. The
Earth's sperm count is down fifty percent. Why, I don't know.
(05:11):
Is it a problem? It is if it's happening to you,
Is it good for the Earth? Maybe it depends on
who you want to ask. And will I find this
event on on one.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Of those betting apps? Can? Can? Can I go to
MGM bets and put some money down on the sperm race?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Which, of course gets us to the very important topic
of the talk you have with your children. You know,
the talk, the talk that most parents don't want to have,
the talk that ninety five percent of all parents have
too late and kids already know it. And the talk
(06:02):
that now schools do instead of parents. You know, the
birds and the bees talk.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So I God bless my late father.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
He tried, He tried on this one. And I remember
when he gave me the talk and sat me down
and explained it all to me. And I had to
explain to him that I was twenty three years old,
(06:37):
and he said, I just wanted to wait until you
were ready for it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I remember, I remember the talk.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I don't know how old I was, and it was
a little too late. Now. I remember my father when
I asked where do babies come from?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
It's so much easier to say the stork.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
He would say that, well, a man gives a woman
a seed. And as a.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Little kid, you get an answer like that.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
You think it kind of well literally, So I thought that, wow,
where do you buy the seed? Where do you go
to buy to buy the seed? And you know, should
use those seeds just be laying around? What if somebody
(07:30):
eats at the don't buy mistake? What happens if you
put it in the ground. These are important questions because
you think of things literally. Now, that was my literal
interpretations as a young boy. My older brother when he
got the talk.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
How to put it? As a kid, you think, you
think it's literal.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
So my father, again God rest his beautiful soul, decided
with my older brother to use a pamphlet you know
something that that had some illustrations to explain what goes on,
and he explained that that sperm, it goes through a
(08:25):
man's penis into a woman, and it's kind of hard
to explain what a sperm is. So on the pamphlet
was a picture of a sperm. So when I asked,
how many of them go through your penis? Dad said, oh, millions.
(08:48):
What he didn't realize was he was showing a picture
of a.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Sperm which was two inches long because it was a sperm.
Explained to my brother that millions of these goldfish sized things.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Come out of you when when you have sex, and
we wonder why at sixty five the man is still celibate.
How how was your story, by the way, was was
it better than that poor kid?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Millions?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Without without the simple little fact that no, oh no, no,
this this picture isn't a scale that should have been,
that should have been, like the first thing. But you
forget this when you're a parent, You forget that you're
you're supposed to, you know, explain these things because.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Kids take you.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Literally all right, How how's that for a way to
start off your morning?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Give me a call three oh three seven one three
eight two five five. I am I am curious if
if you had a similarly bad.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Birds and bees story from your folks. We do have
a text message here at three three one oh three.
Just text Mike or Michael first off, and then Gouber
number six two eight eight Mike, just wondering if transgender
sperm is allowed in the sperm race. It depends on
how the sperm identifies. You could have two different leagues.
(10:28):
You have the Female Sperm League and the male Sperm League.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That's true, that's true. It would be a Title nine thing. Yeah,
that's a good, good point, good point, thank you dragon. Yeah,
that's that's important.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
This week, I think on Wednesday there is a committee
meeting for is it House Bill thirteen twelve, speaking of
transgender this is the misgendering bill. There are so many
truly horrid bill's working their way through the Colorado legislature.
(11:13):
I have never seen in my thirty five years of
doing things like this such god awful legislation. Not only
the gun law that just passed and is now law.
We have until is it next August to buy your guns?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah that sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, I find it interesting that they chose until next August,
towards the end of Polis's term. Michael Bennett said that
he would sign that bill, and he's proud of Polish
for signing that bill. I get so tired as a
gunny taking it on the chin when when it's time
(12:00):
to do something about gun safety. So if you don't
know what this bill is, it's it is the nation's
most restrictive permitting scheme and licensing scheme to buy a gun. Now,
keep in mind, semi automatic guns or self loading guns
(12:21):
are about you know, ninety percent of all guns that
are sold. They are the most common of guns. You're
not talking about machine guns. We're not talking about automatic weapons.
We're talking about guns that when you pull the trigger
once only one and only one bullet comes out the barrel.
(12:43):
And when this gun law passes, it is so vague
and it is so cumbersome. We don't know what it's
going to cost. You have to go take a class,
and I believe it is a fourteen hour class that
you cannot take online.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You must take in person.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But in order to take the class and pay for
this class, you must are you ready for this? Go
get a permission slip from your county sheriff. How long
does the sheriff have to okay you to do that, Well,
there's no time limit.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
How much can the sheriff charge. Well, they can charge.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Al their costs, including quote indirect costs, which means they
can charge whatever they want. Meaning this has opened itself
up for every anti gun sheriff. You might recall way
back in the day, I think it was Andrew Sullivan.
(13:52):
Was it Andrew Sullivan, the Irapo County sheriff who is
so very anti gun.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
He could just choose not to issue it.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
See, the beautiful thing about our concealed weapons permit is
that when we passed it, we made sure to have
a shall issue. There's a certain amount of time that
a sheriff has to issue this gun permit at a
certain cost.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Well, those two limitations don't apply in this new law.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
So a sheriff can charge whatever he wants, and he
can wait until you're dead.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So it's just hanging out there. We don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And I've always by myself asking the same question, why
do progressives hate the poor?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I mean, why do they hate the poor?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
They keep the poor and failing schools, they make sure
the poor do not have transportation because they give him
a bus pass instead of a car, and they use
transit money to make sure that people with cars don't
have to pay parking when they go to a Rockies game,
as if that's the reason we pay this money. We
pay this money to give those people who are transit
(15:09):
dependent transportation. We can go through all these things.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And explain, explain how it hurts the poor.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But your Second Amendment right, which is a right.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Now will be much more expensive. Not only is there
a six.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
And a half percent sind tax because you've sinned now
on every round of ammunition and every gun you buy.
That went into effect at the start of this month.
But now you've got to go through these hoops in
order to.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Get a gun. And if you're wealthy, yeah, you can pay.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
When some anti gun sheriff decides, oh no, the fee
to get your permission slip to go get a gun
is going to be five hundred dollars. And then you
have to spend two days four days whatever it is
in person, cannot be at the same day to take
your class. Now, a poor person working on an hourly wage,
(16:15):
that's two days, three days of lost wages. A guy
who makes his money off of his investments, well.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
He doesn't have to worry about that. And then what
about this one.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
So in this training, you're supposed to be taught how
to shoot more accurately. You're gonna learn everything about guns.
You'll have live fire training, which means that the next
mass shooter who has to go through this to.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Buy his gun.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Will be the most well trained mash shooter in Colorado.
We're training our mass shooters.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Non think about this.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I know it's not tough thing to wake up to,
but we're going to be training our mass shooters to
be better shots.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
In order to kill more people.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
How is this good for quote gun safety? At the
same time, we've dropped all gun safety classes from schools.
I was talking to a guy just yesterday who back
in the day went to Rapahole High School, and he said, yeah,
very often there'd be guys with gun racks and guns
(17:47):
in the parking lot because before school they they went
hunting or they were on the shooting team. I know
guys who said that they were keep their rifle in
their locker because they were gonna go shooting on the
shooting team after school. The NRA has a program called
(18:12):
Eddie Eagle. Eddie Eagle is a gun safety plan for kids.
So a wonderful little kid program that teaches kids not
to touch guns, to leave the area, and gotel with
an adult. They offer the material for free to school districts.
They'll even white the NRA's the game offered it. No
(18:36):
urban or suburban school in Colorado that I'm aware of
does that trade.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Michael Dragon, this is Colorado under the leadership of Governor
Poulos and the commies at the State House.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Could you imagine can you imagine doing that in any
other nation? Can you imagine in.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
North Korea, in China and Russia having having a show
where you could where you could make that toilet noise
and rip on your your leaders. We take it for
granted here and it's a good thing. I'm worried that
(19:45):
it's starting to change. Hey, I'm John.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Caldarian for the Big Man.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Give me a call three oh three seven one three
eight two five five seven to one three talk that
kind of caller feedback.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
And why I've been thinking about that.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Is this dead naming bill and misgendering bill that's working
its way through the legislature. It's been getting a lot
of national news. It does much more damage than just that.
It takes away a lot of parental rights, and it
it makes it so that parents can't direct how their
(20:26):
kids live.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
The state can.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
But it also makes it illegal to call someone who
is biologically male.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Male. And it's a speech code.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
And here's what's.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So bizarre for me. I'm old enough.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
You might be old enough to remember when it was liberals,
when it was democrats who fought for people's civil liberty
to say things that offended other people. Now, personally, I
think most Americans, although they're scared to say it because
we live in a very cancel happy society, most Americans
(21:14):
believe that when a man says he's a woman, he's
still actually a man.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
But they're very uncomfortable saying it. They're very very uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Saying it because they don't want to be ostracized, they
don't want to be shamed, they don't want to be canceled.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And this law would codify that.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Saying that you know somebody who wants to be called
a woman who isn't a woman, well you still must
call that person a woman. Wait a second, this is
being passed by the Democrats in the state legislature, the
same Democratic Party who in my childhood would fight for
(21:59):
First Amendment free speech protections for some of the worst
people I think about, the brave folks at the old ACLU.
These are the people who fought for neo Nazis to
parade in Skokie, Illinois and in other places. Now they
despised Neo Nazis. The ACLU has a fair amount of.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Jewish lawyers and Jewish supporters.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
And they're fighting for the right of neo Nazis who
want them exterminated, to have the free speech to say
just that.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Isn't it? Isn't that wild? Isn't that principled? I remember
you remember.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
That that. Liberals used to say things like I disagree
with what you say, but I defend to my death
your right to say it. They used to say ridiculous
things like the ends do not justify the means, and
today's left, well, the ends justify everything, including stifling free speech.
(23:18):
These these were the liberals, the Democrats who who came
to defend pedographers and misogynists like Larry Flint of Hustler magazine.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But now they're gone. They're gone. What happened to old liberals?
What happened to old.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Good social liberals, the ones that put principle over expediency.
Help me out with this one three h thirty seven
one three eight two five five seven to one three talk.
I don't know if any of them exist under forty
(24:04):
years old. Yeah, I know, I know some old ones.
I know some guys have been around who are true
old school civil libertarians. They fought for these rights for
people they don't like. So here's the thought experiment. Let's
(24:25):
assume that when a man identifies as as a woman,
that somehow his chromosomes change, They morph, moves from an
XX to an x y, and there they have it,
and this guy has literally and biologically transformed into a
(24:45):
woman who can menstright and have babies and all the rest.
Do you still have a right to call that person
a man? You know which point I would go, Well, no,
that's obviously now look check the chromosomes. There you have it.
(25:09):
But should you be able to call that woman a man?
The old school liberals would say, of course you do.
You have the right to say whatever it is you want,
and we will defend to our death your right to
say it. Now we live in this nineteen eighty four
dystopian world where if you say the truth, if you
(25:34):
say the truth, you will be guilty and can be penalized.
If you say that biological man is in fact a
biological man, then then you'll be breaking the law.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
What world is this? What in the world has happened
to the left?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Have they gone completely off the rails? Well, yeah, that's obvious.
It's now the right, and often the social right, who's
there working to protect your civil liberties to say what
you want to say. And what scares me so much
(26:25):
and worries me so much is that we're indoctrinating our
kids in school to lie and that telling FIBs are okay.
And so you're told if you do not call this
person who is obviously a boy a girl, then you're
(26:48):
hateful and we shame you. We don't even tell people
that they have a right to use the words they want.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
So I.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Have a son who's handicapped, and I have to go
through these odd trainings to take care of my own kid.
It's part of the Medicare craziness. And a segment of
this training is how to use the right terms, how
to have the right terms. What words to use now
(27:27):
could be good, could be bad, it's awful. Let's just
be honest. And nowhere in this training did they say,
by the way, you have a constitutionally protected right to
use the words you wish to use.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
That's not trained anywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
It's not in our kids' schools, it's not in the
training for medicaid. You have to be told you cannot
use these, that you'll be a racist, you'll be a hater,
you'll be ignorant.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
If you use the words you choose.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Not even with a qualification that, yeah, you'll be a racist,
you'll be a hater, you'll be ignorant. But that's your right.
It is your protected right to use the words you wish.
Nowhere is that training, and so kids today are indoctrinated
to use their pronouns. You don't think this is why
(28:33):
Trump was elected. I don't think the left gets it.
I hope this bill passes. I hope this misgendering bill
passes as just as stupid as it is. Why because
(28:53):
it will hasten Colorado's comeback. This type of overary, this
type of hubris, this type of nineteen eighty for true hatred,
just won't stand. People won't have it at some point
(29:15):
they know it's wrong. Heard me spout off about this
before the forced speech issue. The whole you will comply,
You will say what we tell you to say, not
what you want to say, was a massive reason. I
(29:35):
think one of the overwhelming reasons Trump won. There are
three reasons Trump won. The economy, open borders, and wokeness,
men in girls' sports, and this pronoun police. Very rarely
do you get to vote on this stuff anonymously. You
(29:58):
were able to do it when you had the bud
Light boycott. Now what did bud Light do?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Not much?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
They just threw a few cans to a trans guy. Here,
you put your face on a couple of cans, tell
your followers on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
That's all. And they lost twenty percent of their market
share for it.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
That seems completely out of out of balance to the
sin that they created, which was no sin at all.
But the reason they people reacted was there was no
other way to react. At work, you're told to call
this man a woman, or lose your job, and so,
in other words, lie or go unemployed and watch your
(30:44):
kids starve at school. You're told to use these words
or you won't pass the class, maybe get kicked out
of school altogether. You can't go to college. So you're
not allowed to speak up. You're not allowed to have
free speech about any of this. And then bud Light
gives you a reason, gives you a way to express
(31:05):
yourself anonymously. You just buy the other beer instead of
bud Light. And they lost twenty percent twenty percent market share.
What's the other way to have an anonymous vote in
the ballot box? That was the second time people could
(31:27):
truly vote their conscious and not tell anyone how they
felt about this woke silliness. And Trump is the president
because of that. All of which to say, go ahead,
pass this misgendering law, take away our guns, our Second
Amendment rights, take away our First Amendment rights. In the
(31:51):
long run, the left will pay a price. Tell me
I'm wrong. Either give me a text or please, I'd
prefer give me a phone call.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Three or three.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I've been one three eight, two five, five seven one
three talk in for the big man. I'm John Calderrek.
Keep it right here, you're on six thirty kW.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Senator Michael Bennett is just showing us true colors. He
posted yesterday that Colorado's struggling, housing, healthcare, childcare costs there
too much, schools and businesses are struggling. Remind me who
has been in control of Colorado the last for sure,
(32:28):
exclusively six years, but more than decade plus. Oh, that's right,
your team.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Fair point. Hey, I'm John Caldera. Good morning. Michael Brown's
out of town. Don't worry. You got me for a
little while.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Three oh three seven one three eight two five five
seven one three talk.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It was interesting.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
That the Denver Post opined that Michael Bennett should resign
from the United States Senate if he's gonna run for office.
I was a little surprised, because you know, the Post
usually is very milk toast when it comes to criticizing
(33:13):
their team.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I think they're right. Michael Bennett is going.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
To come into this race for governor and he's gonna
have lots of money. I mean not Polus types of money,
because he's not as rich as Polis, but after sixteen
years in Washington, he's he's got this down. He's gonna
have lots and lots of cash. What's troubling about Michael
(33:45):
Bennett's run was his statement that he's gonna wait until
he wins the gubernatorial race, and then he'll replace his
own his own senator. Shouldn't you know? Shouldn't we know
who's going to replace him.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Before we vote for him?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Because if you vote for Michael Bennett, you're voting for
two people. You're voting for a new governor, Michael Bennett,
and a new Senator, which Michael Bennett will choose.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Shouldn't you know that before
The interview of Tucker Carlson with former Congressman Kurt Weldon.
Will take many people down a rabbit hole. Not sure
where everybody is on the spectrum of what you believe,
what you don't believe. But we should all agree on
something that we should be able to ask our government
questions and when things don't make sense, they should provide
(00:20):
honest answers instead of covering up in line about so
many things that should be our baseline at a minimum.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's early.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Hey, I'm John Caldera. No, I do not know where
Michael Brown is. He doesn't tell me anymore.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Although he's looking forward to getting shot in Chicago.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
And I was going to say we could just you know,
check his check his ankle bracelet. And I think that's
a good tracker what you're doing in Chicago.
Speaker 4 (00:54):
Some speaking engagement in dodging bullets, Hey, speaking engagement in
dodging bulls.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
And judging bulls.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Not just because he's Michael Brown, just because he's in Chicago.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yes, very similar to Colorado.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Well good, you know Chicago deserves him. Hey, give me
a call three O three seven one three eight two
five five seven to one three talk really, just just
to start your morning up in a stupid way. The
world's first sperm race will take place before a live audience.
(01:38):
I'm just reading it, all right, I'm just reading it
a live audience of more than a thousand people and
where else but Los Angeles this week. Ironically, even though
the event has thousands of spectators for the matchup, they
won't be actually able to see the participants.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
It's just what it sounds like, a race between sperm.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
On its website, sperm Racing, the name of the startup
organizes the sperm races, explains that it's built a special
microscopic racetrack for the two sperm samples.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
We don't need to see the creation of the sperm, Dewey, It's.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Just you have to pay extra for that too early.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
What makes the racetrack unique is that it mimics the
reproductive system, chemical symbols, dynamic fluid and synchronized starts. Importantly,
you won't be able to to actually work watch the
sperm since there and I'm reading this really small, Although
(02:48):
not to worry, sperm Racing says we'll track each sperm's
movement with a high resolution camera to track its microscopic moves.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Don't tell me. Is there betting on this event, the
one million dollar event? Oh boy, if.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You thought it was a huge joke, you're not alone.
I'm reading from a column. I thought the founders of
sperm Racing were just how to troll us. However, according
to Traded, an outlet that publishes news about venture capital
and other investments, the startup recently raised one million dollars
for its sperm race. While sperm Racing does place a
(03:26):
lot of emphasis on the race itself, the startup says
the project is about something much bigger, male fertility, and
it's company of manifesto. They cite that male fertility is
declining and that no one's really talking about it, and
(03:48):
at twenty twenty two study found that human sperm count
has fallen by more than fifty percent around the world.
That's over the last fifty years, sparking a controversy and
alarm alung among male fertility experts and rejoicing from female
(04:11):
fertility experts.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Really, here's the quote.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I think one of the fundamental functions of any species
is reproduction.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, every man thinks that, So I.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Think if there's a signal that reproduction is in decline,
I think it's a very important issue, said the urologist
and professor at Stanford on a CNN interview.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
All right, where do all the sperm go? God?
Speaker 3 (04:46):
No, it's just too early for those jokes. I'm not
gonna I had a whole routine. I am not doing
it because I am mature now. God, it stinks being mature.
Three or three one, three, eight, two, five five. The
Earth's sperm count is down fifty percent. Why, I don't know.
(05:11):
Is it a problem? It is if it's happening to you,
Is it good for the Earth? Maybe it depends on
who you want to ask. And will I find this
event on on one.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Of those betting apps? Can? Can? Can I go to
MGM bets and put some money down on the sperm race?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Which, of course gets us to the very important topic
of the talk you have with your children. You know,
the talk, the talk that most parents don't want to have,
the talk that ninety five percent of all parents have
too late and kids already know it. And the talk
(06:02):
that now schools do instead of parents. You know, the
birds and the bees talk.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
So I God bless my late father.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
He tried, He tried on this one. And I remember
when he gave me the talk and sat me down
and explained it all to me. And I had to
explain to him that I was twenty three years old,
(06:37):
and he said, I just wanted to wait until you
were ready for it.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I remember, I remember the talk.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I don't know how old I was, and it was
a little too late. Now. I remember my father when
I asked where do babies come from?
Speaker 2 (06:56):
It's so much easier to say the stork.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
He would say that, well, a man gives a woman
a seed. And as a.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Little kid, you get an answer like that.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
You think it kind of well literally, So I thought that, wow,
where do you buy the seed? Where do you go
to buy to buy the seed? And you know, should
use those seeds just be laying around? What if somebody
(07:30):
eats at the don't buy mistake? What happens if you
put it in the ground. These are important questions because
you think of things literally. Now, that was my literal
interpretations as a young boy. My older brother when he
got the talk.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
How to put it? As a kid, you think, you
think it's literal.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
So my father, again God rest his beautiful soul, decided
with my older brother to use a pamphlet you know
something that that had some illustrations to explain what goes on,
and he explained that that sperm, it goes through a
(08:25):
man's penis into a woman, and it's kind of hard
to explain what a sperm is. So on the pamphlet
was a picture of a sperm. So when I asked,
how many of them go through your penis? Dad said, oh, millions.
(08:48):
What he didn't realize was he was showing a picture
of a.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
Sperm which was two inches long because it was a sperm.
Explained to my brother that millions of these goldfish sized things.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Come out of you when when you have sex, and
we wonder why at sixty five the man is still celibate.
How how was your story, by the way, was was
it better than that poor kid?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Millions?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Without without the simple little fact that no, oh no, no,
this this picture isn't a scale that should have been,
that should have been, like the first thing. But you
forget this when you're a parent, You forget that you're
you're supposed to, you know, explain these things because.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Kids take you.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Literally all right, How how's that for a way to
start off your morning?
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Anyway?
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Give me a call three oh three seven one three
eight two five five. I am I am curious if
if you had a similarly bad.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Birds and bees story from your folks. We do have
a text message here at three three one oh three.
Just text Mike or Michael first off, and then Gouber
number six two eight eight Mike, just wondering if transgender
sperm is allowed in the sperm race. It depends on
how the sperm identifies. You could have two different leagues.
(10:28):
You have the Female Sperm League and the male Sperm League.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
That's true, that's true. It would be a Title nine thing. Yeah,
that's a good, good point, good point, thank you dragon. Yeah,
that's that's important.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
All right.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
This week, I think on Wednesday there is a committee
meeting for is it House Bill thirteen twelve, speaking of
transgender this is the misgendering bill. There are so many
truly horrid bill's working their way through the Colorado legislature.
(11:13):
I have never seen in my thirty five years of
doing things like this such god awful legislation. Not only
the gun law that just passed and is now law.
We have until is it next August to buy your guns?
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah that sounds about right.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Yeah, I find it interesting that they chose until next August,
towards the end of Polis's term. Michael Bennett said that
he would sign that bill, and he's proud of Polish
for signing that bill. I get so tired as a
gunny taking it on the chin when when it's time
(12:00):
to do something about gun safety. So if you don't
know what this bill is, it's it is the nation's
most restrictive permitting scheme and licensing scheme to buy a gun. Now,
keep in mind, semi automatic guns or self loading guns
(12:21):
are about you know, ninety percent of all guns that
are sold. They are the most common of guns. You're
not talking about machine guns. We're not talking about automatic weapons.
We're talking about guns that when you pull the trigger
once only one and only one bullet comes out the barrel.
(12:43):
And when this gun law passes, it is so vague
and it is so cumbersome. We don't know what it's
going to cost. You have to go take a class,
and I believe it is a fourteen hour class that
you cannot take online.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
You must take in person.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
But in order to take the class and pay for
this class, you must are you ready for this? Go
get a permission slip from your county sheriff. How long
does the sheriff have to okay you to do that, Well,
there's no time limit.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
How much can the sheriff charge. Well, they can charge.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Al their costs, including quote indirect costs, which means they
can charge whatever they want. Meaning this has opened itself
up for every anti gun sheriff. You might recall way
back in the day, I think it was Andrew Sullivan.
(13:52):
Was it Andrew Sullivan, the Irapo County sheriff who is
so very anti gun.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
He could just choose not to issue it.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
See, the beautiful thing about our concealed weapons permit is
that when we passed it, we made sure to have
a shall issue. There's a certain amount of time that
a sheriff has to issue this gun permit at a
certain cost.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Well, those two limitations don't apply in this new law.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
So a sheriff can charge whatever he wants, and he
can wait until you're dead.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
So it's just hanging out there. We don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And I've always by myself asking the same question, why
do progressives hate the poor?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
I mean, why do they hate the poor?
Speaker 3 (14:48):
They keep the poor and failing schools, they make sure
the poor do not have transportation because they give him
a bus pass instead of a car, and they use
transit money to make sure that people with cars don't
have to pay parking when they go to a Rockies game,
as if that's the reason we pay this money. We
pay this money to give those people who are transit
(15:09):
dependent transportation. We can go through all these things.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
And explain, explain how it hurts the poor.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
But your Second Amendment right, which is a right.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Now will be much more expensive. Not only is there
a six.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
And a half percent sind tax because you've sinned now
on every round of ammunition and every gun you buy.
That went into effect at the start of this month.
But now you've got to go through these hoops in
order to.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
Get a gun. And if you're wealthy, yeah, you can pay.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
When some anti gun sheriff decides, oh no, the fee
to get your permission slip to go get a gun
is going to be five hundred dollars. And then you
have to spend two days four days whatever it is
in person, cannot be at the same day to take
your class. Now, a poor person working on an hourly wage,
(16:15):
that's two days, three days of lost wages. A guy
who makes his money off of his investments, well.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
He doesn't have to worry about that. And then what
about this one.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
So in this training, you're supposed to be taught how
to shoot more accurately. You're gonna learn everything about guns.
You'll have live fire training, which means that the next
mass shooter who has to go through this to.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Buy his gun.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Will be the most well trained mash shooter in Colorado.
We're training our mass shooters.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Non think about this.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I know it's not tough thing to wake up to,
but we're going to be training our mass shooters to
be better shots.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
In order to kill more people.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
How is this good for quote gun safety? At the
same time, we've dropped all gun safety classes from schools.
I was talking to a guy just yesterday who back
in the day went to Rapahole High School, and he said, yeah,
very often there'd be guys with gun racks and guns
(17:47):
in the parking lot because before school they they went
hunting or they were on the shooting team. I know
guys who said that they were keep their rifle in
their locker because they were gonna go shooting on the
shooting team after school. The NRA has a program called
(18:12):
Eddie Eagle. Eddie Eagle is a gun safety plan for kids.
So a wonderful little kid program that teaches kids not
to touch guns, to leave the area, and gotel with
an adult. They offer the material for free to school districts.
They'll even white the NRA's the game offered it. No
(18:36):
urban or suburban school in Colorado that I'm aware of
does that trade.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Michael Dragon, this is Colorado under the leadership of Governor
Poulos and the commies at the State House.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Could you imagine can you imagine doing that in any
other nation? Can you imagine in.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
North Korea, in China and Russia having having a show
where you could where you could make that toilet noise
and rip on your your leaders. We take it for
granted here and it's a good thing. I'm worried that
(19:45):
it's starting to change. Hey, I'm John.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
Caldarian for the Big Man.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Give me a call three oh three seven one three
eight two five five seven to one three talk that
kind of caller feedback.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
And why I've been thinking about that.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
Is this dead naming bill and misgendering bill that's working
its way through the legislature. It's been getting a lot
of national news. It does much more damage than just that.
It takes away a lot of parental rights, and it
it makes it so that parents can't direct how their
(20:26):
kids live.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
The state can.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
But it also makes it illegal to call someone who
is biologically male.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Male. And it's a speech code.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
And here's what's.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
So bizarre for me. I'm old enough.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
You might be old enough to remember when it was liberals,
when it was democrats who fought for people's civil liberty
to say things that offended other people. Now, personally, I
think most Americans, although they're scared to say it because
we live in a very cancel happy society, most Americans
(21:14):
believe that when a man says he's a woman, he's
still actually a man.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
But they're very uncomfortable saying it. They're very very uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Saying it because they don't want to be ostracized, they
don't want to be shamed, they don't want to be canceled.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
And this law would codify that.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Saying that you know somebody who wants to be called
a woman who isn't a woman, well you still must
call that person a woman. Wait a second, this is
being passed by the Democrats in the state legislature, the
same Democratic Party who in my childhood would fight for
(21:59):
First Amendment free speech protections for some of the worst
people I think about, the brave folks at the old ACLU.
These are the people who fought for neo Nazis to
parade in Skokie, Illinois and in other places. Now they
despised Neo Nazis. The ACLU has a fair amount of.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Jewish lawyers and Jewish supporters.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
And they're fighting for the right of neo Nazis who
want them exterminated, to have the free speech to say
just that.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Isn't it? Isn't that wild? Isn't that principled? I remember
you remember.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
That that. Liberals used to say things like I disagree
with what you say, but I defend to my death
your right to say it. They used to say ridiculous
things like the ends do not justify the means, and
today's left, well, the ends justify everything, including stifling free speech.
(23:18):
These these were the liberals, the Democrats who who came
to defend pedographers and misogynists like Larry Flint of Hustler magazine.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
But now they're gone. They're gone. What happened to old liberals?
What happened to old.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Good social liberals, the ones that put principle over expediency.
Help me out with this one three h thirty seven
one three eight two five five seven to one three talk.
I don't know if any of them exist under forty
(24:04):
years old. Yeah, I know, I know some old ones.
I know some guys have been around who are true
old school civil libertarians. They fought for these rights for
people they don't like. So here's the thought experiment. Let's
(24:25):
assume that when a man identifies as as a woman,
that somehow his chromosomes change, They morph, moves from an
XX to an x y, and there they have it,
and this guy has literally and biologically transformed into a
(24:45):
woman who can menstright and have babies and all the rest.
Do you still have a right to call that person
a man? You know which point I would go, Well, no,
that's obviously now look check the chromosomes. There you have it.
(25:09):
But should you be able to call that woman a man?
The old school liberals would say, of course you do.
You have the right to say whatever it is you want,
and we will defend to our death your right to
say it. Now we live in this nineteen eighty four
dystopian world where if you say the truth, if you
(25:34):
say the truth, you will be guilty and can be penalized.
If you say that biological man is in fact a
biological man, then then you'll be breaking the law.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
What world is this? What in the world has happened
to the left?
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Have they gone completely off the rails? Well, yeah, that's obvious.
It's now the right, and often the social right, who's
there working to protect your civil liberties to say what
you want to say. And what scares me so much
(26:25):
and worries me so much is that we're indoctrinating our
kids in school to lie and that telling FIBs are okay.
And so you're told if you do not call this
person who is obviously a boy a girl, then you're
(26:48):
hateful and we shame you. We don't even tell people
that they have a right to use the words they want.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
So I.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
Have a son who's handicapped, and I have to go
through these odd trainings to take care of my own kid.
It's part of the Medicare craziness. And a segment of
this training is how to use the right terms, how
to have the right terms. What words to use now
(27:27):
could be good, could be bad, it's awful. Let's just
be honest. And nowhere in this training did they say,
by the way, you have a constitutionally protected right to
use the words you wish to use.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
That's not trained anywhere.
Speaker 3 (27:49):
It's not in our kids' schools, it's not in the
training for medicaid. You have to be told you cannot
use these, that you'll be a racist, you'll be a hater,
you'll be ignorant.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
If you use the words you choose.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Not even with a qualification that, yeah, you'll be a racist,
you'll be a hater, you'll be ignorant. But that's your right.
It is your protected right to use the words you wish.
Nowhere is that training, and so kids today are indoctrinated
to use their pronouns. You don't think this is why
(28:33):
Trump was elected. I don't think the left gets it.
I hope this bill passes. I hope this misgendering bill
passes as just as stupid as it is. Why because
(28:53):
it will hasten Colorado's comeback. This type of overary, this
type of hubris, this type of nineteen eighty for true hatred,
just won't stand. People won't have it at some point
(29:15):
they know it's wrong. Heard me spout off about this
before the forced speech issue. The whole you will comply,
You will say what we tell you to say, not
what you want to say, was a massive reason. I
(29:35):
think one of the overwhelming reasons Trump won. There are
three reasons Trump won. The economy, open borders, and wokeness,
men in girls' sports, and this pronoun police. Very rarely
do you get to vote on this stuff anonymously. You
(29:58):
were able to do it when you had the bud
Light boycott. Now what did bud Light do?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Not much?
Speaker 3 (30:06):
They just threw a few cans to a trans guy. Here,
you put your face on a couple of cans, tell
your followers on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
That's all. And they lost twenty percent of their market
share for it.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
That seems completely out of out of balance to the
sin that they created, which was no sin at all.
But the reason they people reacted was there was no
other way to react. At work, you're told to call
this man a woman, or lose your job, and so,
in other words, lie or go unemployed and watch your
(30:44):
kids starve at school. You're told to use these words
or you won't pass the class, maybe get kicked out
of school altogether. You can't go to college. So you're
not allowed to speak up. You're not allowed to have
free speech about any of this. And then bud Light
gives you a reason, gives you a way to express
(31:05):
yourself anonymously. You just buy the other beer instead of
bud Light. And they lost twenty percent twenty percent market share.
What's the other way to have an anonymous vote in
the ballot box? That was the second time people could
(31:27):
truly vote their conscious and not tell anyone how they
felt about this woke silliness. And Trump is the president
because of that. All of which to say, go ahead,
pass this misgendering law, take away our guns, our Second
Amendment rights, take away our First Amendment rights. In the
(31:51):
long run, the left will pay a price. Tell me
I'm wrong. Either give me a text or please, I'd
prefer give me a phone call.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Three or three.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
I've been one three eight, two five, five seven one
three talk in for the big man. I'm John Calderrek.
Keep it right here, you're on six thirty kW.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Senator Michael Bennett is just showing us true colors. He
posted yesterday that Colorado's struggling, housing, healthcare, childcare costs there
too much, schools and businesses are struggling. Remind me who
has been in control of Colorado the last for sure,
(32:28):
exclusively six years, but more than decade plus. Oh, that's right,
your team.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
Fair point. Hey, I'm John Caldera. Good morning. Michael Brown's
out of town. Don't worry. You got me for a
little while.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Three oh three seven one three eight two five five
seven one three talk.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
It was interesting.
Speaker 3 (32:53):
That the Denver Post opined that Michael Bennett should resign
from the United States Senate if he's gonna run for office.
I was a little surprised, because you know, the Post
usually is very milk toast when it comes to criticizing
(33:13):
their team.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
I think they're right. Michael Bennett is going.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
To come into this race for governor and he's gonna
have lots of money. I mean not Polus types of money,
because he's not as rich as Polis, but after sixteen
years in Washington, he's he's got this down. He's gonna
have lots and lots of cash. What's troubling about Michael
(33:45):
Bennett's run was his statement that he's gonna wait until
he wins the gubernatorial race, and then he'll replace his
own his own senator. Shouldn't you know? Shouldn't we know
who's going to replace him.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Before we vote for him?
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Because if you vote for Michael Bennett, you're voting for
two people. You're voting for a new governor, Michael Bennett,
and a new Senator, which Michael Bennett will choose.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Shouldn't you know that before
