In this episode, we're diving into the history behind Cinco de Mayo, but it's not what you think. We're not talking about a Mexican holiday, but rather how it became an American phenomenon. From its origins as a single battle in the Mexican-American war to its transformation into a major drinking day in the US, we're exploring the fascinating story behind this cultural celebration. We'll also be discussing the marketing genius behind its commercialization and how it's become a spectacle in cities across America.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning with South Dakota. In the eighteen hundreds, mayonnaise
was invented in New England. It became a popular garnishment
on the East coast. The people in California heard about
the marvelous mayonnaise and wanted to experience it. So, due
to the Trans Continent Railroad, not Bill Yet commissioned a
full ship of mayonnaise to sail around the southern tip
of South America, and in early May, during the trip,
the ship encountered a severe storm off the east coast
(00:21):
of Mexico. Sadly, in early May, the ship was lost
in the storm, and that is why on May fifth
each year we observed the sink of de Mail. Everyone
have a great day.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
You're not everybody out here, you know. I let me
take the story I've got here about single Tomaio. Can
you come here and just at this in the trash
for me? I just don't know, Thank you, gee, I
did all this research last night. I didn't find that
particular version of it. So today's what they teach in
(00:51):
South Dakota. Apparently so apparently so, or he's just listened
to us too much and just makes up you know what. Wait,
he's pulling our chain. I know, I'm shocked, right, So
it is Sinkle demile. Let me just kind of let
me give you a road map in today's program, because
it's kind of like driving up Pipe's Peak or something.
(01:13):
It's kind of like, you know, you got a bunch
of hairpin curves and we might go off the ledge
on one or two of these hairpin curves today. We've
never done that before. Well you've never done it before.
I'm just saying today, and the seat belts aren't working,
the brakes aren't working. It's just like I have a
feeling today may just go into the crapper real quickly.
Seat belts are just for decoration, that's right. So somewhere
(01:36):
I think around eleven fifteen or so, Olivia, Olivia is
going to come up those elevators that you see behind me.
See those elevators right there, I mean you can see them,
and then she's going to the door's going to open,
and she's going to step into our reception area. Olivia
is with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
(02:00):
or for me, I'm a member of people eating tasty animals,
and Olivia Dragon will be watching. And then when she
comes in dragon will escort her into the studio and
she's going to deliver us vegan tacos for single DeMaio.
And that's from Vegan Van. Well, it is Vegan Van.
(02:21):
She sent you an info about this, right.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
This is the same information that you got. You just
chose not to read it. I read the email something.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Which is interesting because that's the inverse of how it
usually occurs, because usually you're the one that doesn't read
squat and I'm the one that reads every single word
of every email email. So I messed it. But did
that come from I can't remember her name. I have
to go look, it came from Nicole Nicole. Yes, Nicole
is the one that's been corresponding with me, So thank
you Nicole. We look forward to Olivia and and of
course we will have if if Gina's still here, which
(02:52):
she may be because she she's a hard worker and
like you and me, if Gina still here, will let
her try the vegan tacos for if anybody else news
and we don't like that, we'd like to have them
try the the vegan talcos first to see if they
go into convulsions or spasmodic you know, contractions of some
sort before we try them. We could ask Rob, you know,
to do it. Rob eat anything, We could do that, Shannon.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But Shannon, yeah, nothing nothing. Chen's a cockroach, nothing like
kill Shan, just like the ones in your desk exactly.
So that's going to happen around eleven fifteen.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Did you happen to look at well, you didn't read
the email. You could click on the link and get
the vegan van the menu.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Oh no, I did not. Wow. When did this come in? This?
You forwarded it to me? You have this email? My goodness,
you're terrible. Let me see here's Nicole. Okay, yes, thanks
so much. I'll let Olivia know. Hey again, Michael following
up in the meantime, have a great weekend. Uh confirming
(03:53):
the address? Uh? Do do do? Do? Do do? I
don't see anything here? Wow?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Okay, Well, they've got the Taco Tuesday section, which I
think that's probably what they'll they'll bring to us since
it is single tomato and taco Tuesday. So there's a
taki tacos so I'm assuming they put some seasoned.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Satan beef. Well, that doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound good.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Sour cream, lettuce, takis and three cheese blend crispy chicken taco.
I'm just reading what. I don't know if this is
what they're bringing. I'm just reading from their cheesy Gordido crunch,
cheesy Fiesta potatoes, double decker taco, chicken, street taco beef,
(04:39):
street tacos, carne asada, street tacos.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
We'll to see what they bring. Well, that's interesting because
that's either not really a vegan taco truck or their
line toos. When they say barnitas, they say a beef,
they say.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Chicken, it says the Satan beef and the Satan beef,
and that's how you pronounce it. S e I t
a n Satan beef sitting setan.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Who knows should we google that or not? Somebody google
that and tell us what s E t I N
is to h s e I s c I Satan beef. Okay,
all right, so that's the first thing I want to
get out of the way. The second second thing I
want to get out of the way is in about
(05:26):
eight minutes you will be able to read. But you
can already read my first substack post. Many of you
have asked for and oftentimes I get emails from the
audience asking, uh, where did you get that story? Or
can I can I get a transcript of what you
(05:47):
talked about? Blah blah blah blah. I mean all sorts
of things. And I've been talking to one of my
marketing people about what I should do, and they recommended
a substack. So there is a new substack account. Now
it hasn't quite propagated yet, but eventually it will be
heck of a Job dot com. Right now, it's heck
of a Job dot substack dot com. And if you
(06:10):
go there, there is an introductory explanation of what I
intend to do on that substack. There will be two things.
I describe it two ways. One is there are things
that I do on the air, which is going to
be the first story that I post that post some
type schedule I think at nine to twenty or something
where I talk, for example, about Commissioner Abe Laden, who's
(06:33):
one of the Douglas County commissioners, posting on Facebook about
the free free link transportation service being provided by the
taxpayers of Douglas County and people ask, and I went
through on air a little bit, but very quickly the
financials of how that is free ends up. It's going
(06:53):
to cost you about thirty million dollars, so that's how
free it is. But that first post is an example
of one of the types of topics that I want
to do, something that I've done on air but I
didn't fully flesh out, and there's even more information that
I could have done. But you know you, after a while,
people get bored of listening about you know, free link
(07:16):
rides and all the details, and sometimes the details are
difficult to give on air. So I'm going to use
that substack one as a way to do that, to
give you additional details. The second type of article that's
going to appear on Heck of a Job substack is
things that I would never I probably would not do
on air, or if I did, i'd very just quickly
(07:37):
mention it. For example, I'm working on a piece right
now about you know how I've always talked about there
are three races Mongoloid, Caucasian, and Negroid. Well, apparently that
is an outdated model based on some eighteen hundred sociologists
and anthropologists and others, and considering the topics we talked
about yesterday where there's kind of this new the Supreme
(08:01):
Court kind of getting back to the old Constitution, which
I call the new Constitution, which is, yeah, we're going
to actually treat everybody based on oh they're citizens of
the country. We're going to treat them equally and not
put them into the Democrats verticals of identity politics. So
it's an article that I'm working on about post America,
you know, post racial America, and how these racial categories
(08:25):
are outdated and we need to focus on the human
aspect of each other as opposed to you know, who
do you sleep with, what do you sleep with, what
do you eat, what are you not vegan? Non vegan, Democrat,
left right, all of that, and just focus on the
human aspect of everything. So that is and you can
get It's free right now. It's free. I'm not charging.
(08:46):
I find it interesting dragon that when I first posted
it last night, several people, some friends, some just listeners,
and some people I have no clue of who they are,
have already pledged to pay for it. Would you look
at that? I know now, I was planning to first
establish I mean, here, here's what the marketing people told me,
(09:08):
post some really interesting things for say, you know, two
a week for say a month, and then at some
point after you get beyond. You get beyond, say a month,
and people are kind of enticed by what you're reading.
Then you can slowly put in, you know, some different tiers,
like still be a free tier, but then there's a
paid pier, a tier, and there's a you know anyway,
(09:30):
I haven't done that yet, but people are already offering
to pay. Now. I didn't see you signing up, and
I haven't seen you offering to pay yet.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I'm forced to listen to you here. I'm not gonna
pay for anything you do. Real quick, We're got to
jump back because we're on one of those hair pin turns. Yes, yes,
turns out. The satan beef, Yes, it's pronounced sa y
t a n all right. Satan beef is a popular
vegan meat substitute made from wheat gluten, often called wheat
(10:00):
meat due to its chewy, meat like texture. And if
you don't believe me on the pronunciation, let's just go
over to Google here and see what that does.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
How do I pronounce felt satan beef? Thank you very much? Wow?
And then a rubbery, chewy texture. So the other night
we went to there with the kids, and I had
a Surnoin steak medium rare, and I don't remember it
(10:34):
being rubbery or chewy. I don't like to describe my
steaks as rubbery or chewy. Sounds delicious. My stomach is
already up. Honestly, you know what I think about when
I hear the word chewy. The online pet place where
you can get dog fools and dog toys, and there's
(10:54):
not even a chewy vet thing down on Hiden's ranch.
I have no idea. I'm sure it's outrageously expensive, but yeah, chewie, chewye,
that's what I think of, Julie. Let's get to the
real history. You want the real history. You come in
here to get the real story. So I'm going to
give you the real story. The Battle of Puebla capital
May five, eighteen sixty two, A poorly equipped Mexican force
(11:20):
under General Ignatio Zaragoza or something defeated a much larger
and better armed French army that had been sent by
Napoleon the Third. And it was the best way to
describe it. It was it was a David versus Goliath upset.
So the Mexicans at the Battle of Puebla on May five,
eighteen sixty two did beat the French army. Don't get
(11:42):
too excited. The French weren't done. I'd like today when
you just say boo to the French and they're done.
We give vote. They regrouped, sent reinforcements, and by eighteen
sixty three, just about what whether it be Saturny eight
months later, had captured Mexico City. Napoleon the Third then
(12:03):
installed Archduke Maximilian of Austria as the Emperor of Mexico,
a puppet ruler, obviously, and France effectively controlled Mexico until
eighteen sixty seven, when Maximilian was overthrown and executed. So yes,
the French won the actual war, and the Mexican celebrated
one battle while losing the broader conflict for years afterward.
(12:23):
But here's the kicker. Sinkl Demayo is barely celebrated in
Mexico itself. It's primarily observed in the state of Puebla
with some civic ceremonies. It became a major American holiday
largely through the nineteen eighties. This isn't this, This is
ancient American history. Nineteen eighty chimany, what was you doing
(12:46):
in nineteen eighty dragon. Uh less than less than yeah,
less land. That's right, Well, we're going to talk about
what I was doing. In nineteen eighty beer and spirits
marketing campaigns by Corona, Joseicquerrevo and others turned it into
a drinking occasion Mexican American communities, particularly in California, had
(13:07):
observed since the eighteen sixties as a symbol of resistance.
But the mass commercial explosion is purely and uniquely American,
and now it's one of the biggest drinking days on
the US calendar. So happy single demo everybody. Today, millions
of Americas are going to raise a margarita, slam ash out
at tequila, and celebrate with the vegan taco in these
studios for a battle that Mexico won before promptly losing
(13:29):
the entire war. You can't make that up, right, So
that's the history it is. It is not a Mexican holiday.
It is an American holiday about Mexico, in the same
way that Saint Pat's Day is an American holiday about Ireland,
celebrated by people's Your great great great grandmother might have
once met someone from County Court in Mexico. May fifth
(13:52):
is a modest city observance, mostly in the state of Puebla.
There's no national day off, no massew street festivals, no specials.
But here in the US it's a cultural phenomenon, one
of the biggest drinking days of the entire year, right
up there with New Year's even Super Bowl. Beer distributors
love the holiday more than they do their own birthdays.
I think the marketing geniuses at Corona and Cuervo essentially
(14:15):
invented segul Demi on the nineteen eighties, and frankly, you
gotta respect the hustle. It is a pretty good hustle, right.
They took an obscure military anniversary from the war in
Mexico technical lost and turned it into a multi billion
dollar annually event. That is elite level marketing. And what's
funny is the best part is we know how it
plays out in Denver Federal Boulevard. I saw this on
(14:38):
like several days ago, not like yesterday. I'm talking about
maybe most the day's tuesdays I'm broadcasting. This was probably
maybe over the weekend. The Denver PD was already out
announcing the traffic setups for Federal Boulevard. Wow, I try
to avoid Federal Boulevard at all costs, not because it's
predominantly Hispanic, but because as one of the major thoroughfares
(15:02):
in the city and county of Denver, it sucks. It
absolutely sucks. But down there you'll see the low riders, music,
street food celebrations that goes on for miles. It's loud,
and it is colorful, and it is genuinely a spectacle.
The Federal Boulevard's got of a spectacle any day of
any week, everywhere from Chicago to Denver, to Los Angeles
(15:24):
to right here in the Mile High City. Bars hang
sombreros on the wall, restaurants run two for one marg
vita specials, and people who haven't thought about or don't
know squad about Mexican history, probably didn't learn anything in
the eighth grade become very passionate about something that they
don't even know what it's really about. The Battle Puebla,
which again was a single battle in the war that
(15:45):
Mexico lost. Now there is something genuinely meaningful about the
original story, the smaller force defeating a military superpower. Yes,
that's pretty good. That's kind of what we did with
the British Red Coat right, we're using the memory of
one victorious afternoon in eighteen sixty two. It's just an
enthusiastic excuse to day, drink, eat excellent food, and I
(16:09):
might add eat vegan tacos, which I am not ready
to put in the same category. It could be good,
I may tell you, I honestly have a very open
mind about the vegan tacos. So tonight, when you raise
that glass, maybe take a second to appreciate the full
(16:29):
and glorious ridiculousness of what you're celebrating. So to General Zaragoza,
who won the day, and here's the French who won
the war but lost the holiday. And here's to the
United States of America, which took the whole complicated mess,
stripped out most of the history out of the salt
rim and called it a party. Salute Brownie, Happy five
(16:52):
O the Mayo, just letting you know, I'm driving the
hell out of this truck and you don't normally drive
the hell out of that truck. Wonder where he is,
because you know we're getting ready to have you. You know,
it's weather alert day or whatever they call it over
at katv R because it's going to snow in April. Everybody,
(17:12):
you know, cover your pipes, cover your plants, go shake
the trees. Traffic was horrible this morning. I'm just curious
as to how many he's already had. Well do you
think it it ever varies? Yeah, it's not eveny different
from any other day. But it's just the what he's
(17:34):
drinking today. So today it's tequila. Got it? So I
mentioned the last segment that i've and it's still it's
still in the development stage because I still need to
get you know, the podcasts up and and other things
on the substack page. But it's at heck of a
job dot substack dot com, and I really would appreciate
(17:56):
it if you ever read. I'll put a story up
today about the link so called free ride down in
Douglas County with all of the financial details so that
you can share that with all of the taxpayers and
quite frankly, taxpayers all over the country because the thing
that this link service does is the same thing that
(18:17):
you see happening all across the country. Republicans and Democrats
that like to do it, and it drives me up
the freaking wall. They come to you and tell you, oh,
look we're going to do something, it's only going to
cost you X. Think about the train in California. Think
about the Cuckoo for Coco Puffs train that they're going
to build, that they want to build, not in our
life's time, not not until the end of civilization, from
(18:41):
where Fort Collins down to Pueblo or something. And they
tell us it's going to cost X number of dollars,
is going to cost you X squared or excubed by
the time they finally do it. And so that story
on the substack page is an example of how I
take a story that we've talked about and expand it.
Here's another example. Governor Polis posted on X last week
(19:04):
that he has a plan to save Colorado homeowners up
to eight hundred dollars a year on their insurance. Now
I appreciate the ambition, I really do. In fact, I
appreciate the eight hundred dollars. Although eight hundred dollars is
about well, maybe it's about twenty five percent of I pay.
I think I pay about thirty two three thirty three
hundred dollars a year for my homeowner's insurance. And that's
(19:28):
only because after the tornado hit it, which was an
act of God, the previous carrier. In fact, I even
talked to him about it. They said, yeah, actually, what
we're doing, we're raising everybody's premium, whether you're hitting damage
or not, because we just we're trying to price They
literally admitted to me they were trying to price themselves
out of the market. So rather than just say we're
(19:50):
pulling out of Colorado, they just priced you out. Where
I went somewhere else, same thing happened if you undisposed location.
Now in New Mexico, we got a renewal notice, you know.
And if we haven't had a fire down there for
like five years, maybe it's been longer. I forget how
long the fire was. I know I was over on
KO and that was way back in the beginning. In fact,
(20:10):
I think it may have even been in the afternoon,
that's how long ago it's been. It wasn't even in
the morning program anyway. So the local company, the local agent,
I was all upset that I was changing. And I'm like, well,
if I can save fifty sixty seventy five percent of
my homeowners premium, why wouldn't I change? And well, as
long as that's the reason why, and what I know
(20:33):
You've been great to me. It's such the people that
you represent are charging that amount. So Paul says he's
going to save this eight hundred dollars on our insurance
premiums colud of homeowners insurance has doubled since twenty eighteen. Well,
the United States saw a bad fifty eight percent increase.
(20:53):
Colorado had one hundred percent. Yeah, good for Colorado. We're
now ranked somewhere between fourth and eighth most expensive state
in the nation for homeowners insurance. Average premium is running
nearly five thousand dollars a year. And now if you
live up in the foothills, you might be north with
seventy five Yeah, seventy five hundred dollars. So how does
(21:14):
police plan to get us eight hundred dollars back? Mostly
through a listen closely, a grant program. Where do you
get money for a grant? Oh? From the taxpayers. He
wants to do a grant program for hail resistant roofs.
(21:35):
And a new law requiring insurers to show you how
your wildfire risks score is. And something called the Fair
Plan that's just really a last resort insure for people
who can't find coverage at all. Something they did that
in Florida. Republicans in't. I'm calling everybody out on this
one Republican has tried to do it in Florida with
(21:56):
a state backed you know, reinsurance program's broke. I haven't
checked lately, but I think it's broke. But here's what
Governor Polis did not mention in his tweet. His own legislature,
the Democrats and Republicans together down for bullup Bureau just
killed his biggest insurance tool, a reinsurance program that would
(22:17):
have actually helped carry or stay in Colorado, Colorado's market
instead of running for the exit rams. When that bill died,
his own spokesman called it a failure quote in broad daylight.
And here's the other thing. Police leaves office at the
beginning of twenty twenty seven, and he's promising eight hundred
dollars in savings that would arrive if they ever do,
(22:40):
on the next governor's watch. Now, so you believe he's
really I mean, he's out there posting on X all
the time. He's running for something. You know what it is.
He's either running the US Center to go back to
DC or he must be. He must to be in
some Democrat president's cabinet or Hell's belligi. He must to
be the president himself, old bald headed Polish ones to
(23:03):
be you know, you got to go to advance. Here's
what you got to do. Yeah, Is any of this
Polus's fault? Everything specifically, not entirely. The hail alley that
we live in really is. It's a real thing. Wildfire
risk is a real thing too. The Marshall fire, burning
more than a thousand homes in scared every insure in
the entire country. But Colorado did allow decades of development
(23:28):
into these wildfire prone areas with no unified building code,
nothing that required fire resistant construction. That did change a
little bit in twenty twenty five, and the state's regulatory
environment historically held down rated increases, but that forced the
insurers to either leave or slam a policyholder like you
with a sudden massive hike. And Colorado law made it
(23:51):
easy to file roof replacement claims for minimal hail damage
till that bat. The carriers paid billions on that for years,
and they're just done eating it. We're not going to
eat that crap anymore. So when the governor says we're
taking action, well, that's fine, But the honest answer to
(24:12):
why Colorado insurance costs are through the roof is years
of growth at all cost, development into the fire zones,
a regulatory structure that prevented market correcting rate adjustments until
the dam finally just broke, and a liability environment that
treated roofs like lottery tickets. So the ahndular roadmap, it's
(24:32):
a press release to something that is truly a structural problem.
And I wanted to do that story today because there
are a lot other things that you know, when he
talks about his roadmap to reduce homeowners insurance, which is
what he called it on X, well, he leaves out
a lot of the financial information. That's something that I
(24:54):
want to do on the substack is rather than bore
you with numbers here, just kind of give you the
t old rs the cool kids like to say about
here's what he said, and here's how stupid it is.
And then eventually over on substack, I'll give you the
deats about why it is just a bunch of bull
crap that the governor's trying to, you know, shove down
your throat. So that's that heck of a job. Dot substack,
(25:17):
Dot com. It hasn't. It's the domain. The domain name
has been bought heck of a job dot com, but
it hasn't propagated yet. So you need to go to
the substack and you can search for heck of a
job and you'll find right now that your free uber
isn't free. Douglas County commissioners forgot to tell you who's
really paying.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Good morning, Michael Dragon, happy sing domyo, I mean happy
gringo DeMaio.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Uh have a good day, guys. Bye bye, yeah, just stop,
just stop by your head. Good agree. James Comy, the
former director of the FBI, is I think in serious
legal trouble. I've done some more into the case against him,
But why I find most interesting is the cabal, the
(26:06):
dominant media, the mainstream media, desperately wants you to believe otherwise.
So let's kind of lay it out a little bit
like a prosecutor would, because well, uh, that's kind of
what we're dealing with, is a prosecution fact number one.
Last Tuesday, a federal grand jury in the Eastern District
of North Carolina indicted James Comy, the former director, twice.
(26:30):
Indicted him twice two counts threatening the life of the
president of the United States and transmitting a threat in
interstate commerce. So let's think about the basics. A now
deleted Instagram photo that Comy posted last year, seashells on
the Beach, arranged the spell out eighty six forty seven.
Prosecutors say eighty six is a symbol for getting rid
(26:52):
of someone or something, and forty seven refers to Trump.
The forty seven the president now, Colemy says that he
didn't realize that some people associate those numbers with violence,
to which I say, yeah, whatever, your law enforcement. That's
fact number one. Fact number two. Apparently, this is not
(27:14):
a rogue prosecution built on the beach photo. Acting Attorney
General Todd blanche set on meet the Press just this
past Sunday that this is quote about a body of
evidence that the grand jury collected over the series, over
a series of about eleven months, eleven months of investigation.
(27:37):
That's not political theater, and that's telling me there's something
more than a now deleted Instagram post that had seashells
arranged to say eighty six forty seven. That's a case
that's being methodically built and accepted by the grand jury.
That's fact number two. There's fact number three, and this
(27:59):
is where it gets kind of really kind of ironic.
Fotal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia have revived
a separate, interrelated investigation into whether Comby leaked classified information
to his old friend Daniel Richmond. Remember that guy, He
was the Columbia University law professor. They're looking into that too.
That's part of the grand jury investigation. Those memos that
(28:22):
detail Comee's private conversations with President Trump got passed on
to Professor Richmond, who then conveyed those contents to The
New York Times, and that fueled the twenty seventeen front
page story that did what That was the match that
lit the string, the fuse going to the oh, the
(28:45):
Russia collusion arraty. Now, no decision has been made yet
to present that particular case to a grand jury, but
the deliberations are active and the trajectory is clear. But
the irony that should not be lost in anybody is this.
The Department of Justice's own Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, who
was an Obama appointee, has already concluded that Comby violated
(29:10):
FBI policy by retaining and then leaking his memos, and
the Inspector General called that a dangerous example. That's not
a GOPI Republican talking point. That is the government's own
internal watchdog. The Inspector General, who is an Obama appointee,
looking at and saying, mm, yeah, this is probably a
(29:33):
violation of the law. Now, if the Virginia charges move forward,
it would decount them the third time that the Trump
Justice Department has tried to indict James Comy since last fall. Now,
the defenders of Komy are going to say, obviously, this
is a weaponized Department of Justice going after a political enemy. Now,
(29:53):
that argument, I think has some appeal on the surface.
The problem is that argument is meant to I mean,
that's a political argument, and it's meant to make you think, oh,
here's Trump trying to get revenge. The problem is that
narrative runs directly into the Inspector General's findings. It comes
(30:17):
up and slams against the wall with a federal grand
jury that deliberated for nearly a year, and of course
it runs into OH Title eighteen, the same criminal statutes
that Comy himself used to go after the members of
the Trump team. James Comy once said that, well, the
wheels of justice turns slowly, but they do turn. Well, Jimbo,
(30:39):
guess what I think they are turning. And I think
that if I were you, you can put up all
the little Instagram videos about how you think this is.
You know, they're just coming to get you and you're
being you know, you're being scapegoaded, and blah blah blah blah. Hmmm.
That's interesting because, uh, I think the overall verdict, they're
(31:02):
solid and accurate material facts. I think the only caution
is distinguishing the filed North Carolin indicte North Carolina indictment
from the Virginia probe, which is still in the investigative
and deliberation phase being undertaken, and looking at not just oh,
the Instagram photo, but looking at the emails, the leaking
(31:23):
of classified information, the violation of confidentiality between the FBI
director and the President of the United States of America,
and using that start the Russian collusion hoax. Now, Jimbo
might want to be a little careful
Good morning with South Dakota. In the eighteen hundreds, mayonnaise
was invented in New England. It became a popular garnishment
on the East coast. The people in California heard about
the marvelous mayonnaise and wanted to experience it. So, due
to the Trans Continent Railroad, not Bill Yet commissioned a
full ship of mayonnaise to sail around the southern tip
of South America, and in early May, during the trip,
the ship encountered a severe storm off the east coast
(00:21):
of Mexico. Sadly, in early May, the ship was lost
in the storm, and that is why on May fifth
each year we observed the sink of de Mail. Everyone
have a great day.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
You're not everybody out here, you know. I let me
take the story I've got here about single Tomaio. Can
you come here and just at this in the trash
for me? I just don't know, Thank you, gee, I
did all this research last night. I didn't find that
particular version of it. So today's what they teach in
(00:51):
South Dakota. Apparently so apparently so, or he's just listened
to us too much and just makes up you know what. Wait,
he's pulling our chain. I know, I'm shocked, right, So
it is Sinkle demile. Let me just kind of let
me give you a road map in today's program, because
it's kind of like driving up Pipe's Peak or something.
(01:13):
It's kind of like, you know, you got a bunch
of hairpin curves and we might go off the ledge
on one or two of these hairpin curves today. We've
never done that before. Well you've never done it before.
I'm just saying today, and the seat belts aren't working,
the brakes aren't working. It's just like I have a
feeling today may just go into the crapper real quickly.
Seat belts are just for decoration, that's right. So somewhere
(01:36):
I think around eleven fifteen or so, Olivia, Olivia is
going to come up those elevators that you see behind me.
See those elevators right there, I mean you can see them,
and then she's going to the door's going to open,
and she's going to step into our reception area. Olivia
is with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
(02:00):
or for me, I'm a member of people eating tasty animals,
and Olivia Dragon will be watching. And then when she
comes in dragon will escort her into the studio and
she's going to deliver us vegan tacos for single DeMaio.
And that's from Vegan Van. Well, it is Vegan Van.
(02:21):
She sent you an info about this, right.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
This is the same information that you got. You just
chose not to read it. I read the email something.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
Which is interesting because that's the inverse of how it
usually occurs, because usually you're the one that doesn't read
squat and I'm the one that reads every single word
of every email email. So I messed it. But did
that come from I can't remember her name. I have
to go look, it came from Nicole Nicole. Yes, Nicole
is the one that's been corresponding with me, So thank
you Nicole. We look forward to Olivia and and of
course we will have if if Gina's still here, which
(02:52):
she may be because she she's a hard worker and
like you and me, if Gina still here, will let
her try the vegan tacos for if anybody else news
and we don't like that, we'd like to have them
try the the vegan talcos first to see if they
go into convulsions or spasmodic you know, contractions of some
sort before we try them. We could ask Rob, you know,
to do it. Rob eat anything, We could do that, Shannon.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
But Shannon, yeah, nothing nothing. Chen's a cockroach, nothing like
kill Shan, just like the ones in your desk exactly.
So that's going to happen around eleven fifteen.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Did you happen to look at well, you didn't read
the email. You could click on the link and get
the vegan van the menu.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Oh no, I did not. Wow. When did this come in? This?
You forwarded it to me? You have this email? My goodness,
you're terrible. Let me see here's Nicole. Okay, yes, thanks
so much. I'll let Olivia know. Hey again, Michael following
up in the meantime, have a great weekend. Uh confirming
(03:53):
the address? Uh? Do do do? Do? Do do? I
don't see anything here? Wow?
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Okay, Well, they've got the Taco Tuesday section, which I
think that's probably what they'll they'll bring to us since
it is single tomato and taco Tuesday. So there's a
taki tacos so I'm assuming they put some seasoned.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Satan beef. Well, that doesn't sound good. It doesn't sound good.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Sour cream, lettuce, takis and three cheese blend crispy chicken taco.
I'm just reading what. I don't know if this is
what they're bringing. I'm just reading from their cheesy Gordido crunch,
cheesy Fiesta potatoes, double decker taco, chicken, street taco beef,
(04:39):
street tacos, carne asada, street tacos.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
We'll to see what they bring. Well, that's interesting because
that's either not really a vegan taco truck or their
line toos. When they say barnitas, they say a beef,
they say.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Chicken, it says the Satan beef and the Satan beef,
and that's how you pronounce it. S e I t
a n Satan beef sitting setan.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Who knows should we google that or not? Somebody google
that and tell us what s E t I N
is to h s e I s c I Satan beef. Okay,
all right, so that's the first thing I want to
get out of the way. The second second thing I
want to get out of the way is in about
(05:26):
eight minutes you will be able to read. But you
can already read my first substack post. Many of you
have asked for and oftentimes I get emails from the
audience asking, uh, where did you get that story? Or
can I can I get a transcript of what you
(05:47):
talked about? Blah blah blah blah. I mean all sorts
of things. And I've been talking to one of my
marketing people about what I should do, and they recommended
a substack. So there is a new substack account. Now
it hasn't quite propagated yet, but eventually it will be
heck of a Job dot com. Right now, it's heck
of a Job dot substack dot com. And if you
(06:10):
go there, there is an introductory explanation of what I
intend to do on that substack. There will be two things.
I describe it two ways. One is there are things
that I do on the air, which is going to
be the first story that I post that post some
type schedule I think at nine to twenty or something
where I talk, for example, about Commissioner Abe Laden, who's
(06:33):
one of the Douglas County commissioners, posting on Facebook about
the free free link transportation service being provided by the
taxpayers of Douglas County and people ask, and I went
through on air a little bit, but very quickly the
financials of how that is free ends up. It's going
(06:53):
to cost you about thirty million dollars, so that's how
free it is. But that first post is an example
of one of the types of topics that I want
to do, something that I've done on air but I
didn't fully flesh out, and there's even more information that
I could have done. But you know you, after a while,
people get bored of listening about you know, free link
(07:16):
rides and all the details, and sometimes the details are
difficult to give on air. So I'm going to use
that substack one as a way to do that, to
give you additional details. The second type of article that's
going to appear on Heck of a Job substack is
things that I would never I probably would not do
on air, or if I did, i'd very just quickly
(07:37):
mention it. For example, I'm working on a piece right
now about you know how I've always talked about there
are three races Mongoloid, Caucasian, and Negroid. Well, apparently that
is an outdated model based on some eighteen hundred sociologists
and anthropologists and others, and considering the topics we talked
about yesterday where there's kind of this new the Supreme
(08:01):
Court kind of getting back to the old Constitution, which
I call the new Constitution, which is, yeah, we're going
to actually treat everybody based on oh they're citizens of
the country. We're going to treat them equally and not
put them into the Democrats verticals of identity politics. So
it's an article that I'm working on about post America,
you know, post racial America, and how these racial categories
(08:25):
are outdated and we need to focus on the human
aspect of each other as opposed to you know, who
do you sleep with, what do you sleep with, what
do you eat, what are you not vegan? Non vegan, Democrat,
left right, all of that, and just focus on the
human aspect of everything. So that is and you can
get It's free right now. It's free. I'm not charging.
(08:46):
I find it interesting dragon that when I first posted
it last night, several people, some friends, some just listeners,
and some people I have no clue of who they are,
have already pledged to pay for it. Would you look
at that? I know now, I was planning to first
establish I mean, here, here's what the marketing people told me,
(09:08):
post some really interesting things for say, you know, two
a week for say a month, and then at some
point after you get beyond. You get beyond, say a month,
and people are kind of enticed by what you're reading.
Then you can slowly put in, you know, some different tiers,
like still be a free tier, but then there's a
paid pier, a tier, and there's a you know anyway,
(09:30):
I haven't done that yet, but people are already offering
to pay. Now. I didn't see you signing up, and
I haven't seen you offering to pay yet.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
I'm forced to listen to you here. I'm not gonna
pay for anything you do. Real quick, We're got to
jump back because we're on one of those hair pin turns. Yes, yes,
turns out. The satan beef, Yes, it's pronounced sa y
t a n all right. Satan beef is a popular
vegan meat substitute made from wheat gluten, often called wheat
(10:00):
meat due to its chewy, meat like texture. And if
you don't believe me on the pronunciation, let's just go
over to Google here and see what that does.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
How do I pronounce felt satan beef? Thank you very much? Wow?
And then a rubbery, chewy texture. So the other night
we went to there with the kids, and I had
a Surnoin steak medium rare, and I don't remember it
(10:34):
being rubbery or chewy. I don't like to describe my
steaks as rubbery or chewy. Sounds delicious. My stomach is
already up. Honestly, you know what I think about when
I hear the word chewy. The online pet place where
you can get dog fools and dog toys, and there's
(10:54):
not even a chewy vet thing down on Hiden's ranch.
I have no idea. I'm sure it's outrageously expensive, but yeah, chewie, chewye,
that's what I think of, Julie. Let's get to the
real history. You want the real history. You come in
here to get the real story. So I'm going to
give you the real story. The Battle of Puebla capital
May five, eighteen sixty two, A poorly equipped Mexican force
(11:20):
under General Ignatio Zaragoza or something defeated a much larger
and better armed French army that had been sent by
Napoleon the Third. And it was the best way to
describe it. It was it was a David versus Goliath upset.
So the Mexicans at the Battle of Puebla on May five,
eighteen sixty two did beat the French army. Don't get
(11:42):
too excited. The French weren't done. I'd like today when
you just say boo to the French and they're done.
We give vote. They regrouped, sent reinforcements, and by eighteen
sixty three, just about what whether it be Saturny eight
months later, had captured Mexico City. Napoleon the Third then
(12:03):
installed Archduke Maximilian of Austria as the Emperor of Mexico,
a puppet ruler, obviously, and France effectively controlled Mexico until
eighteen sixty seven, when Maximilian was overthrown and executed. So yes,
the French won the actual war, and the Mexican celebrated
one battle while losing the broader conflict for years afterward.
(12:23):
But here's the kicker. Sinkl Demayo is barely celebrated in
Mexico itself. It's primarily observed in the state of Puebla
with some civic ceremonies. It became a major American holiday
largely through the nineteen eighties. This isn't this, This is
ancient American history. Nineteen eighty chimany, what was you doing
(12:46):
in nineteen eighty dragon. Uh less than less than yeah,
less land. That's right, Well, we're going to talk about
what I was doing. In nineteen eighty beer and spirits
marketing campaigns by Corona, Joseicquerrevo and others turned it into
a drinking occasion Mexican American communities, particularly in California, had
(13:07):
observed since the eighteen sixties as a symbol of resistance.
But the mass commercial explosion is purely and uniquely American,
and now it's one of the biggest drinking days on
the US calendar. So happy single demo everybody. Today, millions
of Americas are going to raise a margarita, slam ash out
at tequila, and celebrate with the vegan taco in these
studios for a battle that Mexico won before promptly losing
(13:29):
the entire war. You can't make that up, right, So
that's the history it is. It is not a Mexican holiday.
It is an American holiday about Mexico, in the same
way that Saint Pat's Day is an American holiday about Ireland,
celebrated by people's Your great great great grandmother might have
once met someone from County Court in Mexico. May fifth
(13:52):
is a modest city observance, mostly in the state of Puebla.
There's no national day off, no massew street festivals, no specials.
But here in the US it's a cultural phenomenon, one
of the biggest drinking days of the entire year, right
up there with New Year's even Super Bowl. Beer distributors
love the holiday more than they do their own birthdays.
I think the marketing geniuses at Corona and Cuervo essentially
(14:15):
invented segul Demi on the nineteen eighties, and frankly, you
gotta respect the hustle. It is a pretty good hustle, right.
They took an obscure military anniversary from the war in
Mexico technical lost and turned it into a multi billion
dollar annually event. That is elite level marketing. And what's
funny is the best part is we know how it
plays out in Denver Federal Boulevard. I saw this on
(14:38):
like several days ago, not like yesterday. I'm talking about
maybe most the day's tuesdays I'm broadcasting. This was probably
maybe over the weekend. The Denver PD was already out
announcing the traffic setups for Federal Boulevard. Wow, I try
to avoid Federal Boulevard at all costs, not because it's
predominantly Hispanic, but because as one of the major thoroughfares
(15:02):
in the city and county of Denver, it sucks. It
absolutely sucks. But down there you'll see the low riders, music,
street food celebrations that goes on for miles. It's loud,
and it is colorful, and it is genuinely a spectacle.
The Federal Boulevard's got of a spectacle any day of
any week, everywhere from Chicago to Denver, to Los Angeles
(15:24):
to right here in the Mile High City. Bars hang
sombreros on the wall, restaurants run two for one marg
vita specials, and people who haven't thought about or don't
know squad about Mexican history, probably didn't learn anything in
the eighth grade become very passionate about something that they
don't even know what it's really about. The Battle Puebla,
which again was a single battle in the war that
(15:45):
Mexico lost. Now there is something genuinely meaningful about the
original story, the smaller force defeating a military superpower. Yes,
that's pretty good. That's kind of what we did with
the British Red Coat right, we're using the memory of
one victorious afternoon in eighteen sixty two. It's just an
enthusiastic excuse to day, drink, eat excellent food, and I
(16:09):
might add eat vegan tacos, which I am not ready
to put in the same category. It could be good,
I may tell you, I honestly have a very open
mind about the vegan tacos. So tonight, when you raise
that glass, maybe take a second to appreciate the full
(16:29):
and glorious ridiculousness of what you're celebrating. So to General Zaragoza,
who won the day, and here's the French who won
the war but lost the holiday. And here's to the
United States of America, which took the whole complicated mess,
stripped out most of the history out of the salt
rim and called it a party. Salute Brownie, Happy five
(16:52):
O the Mayo, just letting you know, I'm driving the
hell out of this truck and you don't normally drive
the hell out of that truck. Wonder where he is,
because you know we're getting ready to have you. You know,
it's weather alert day or whatever they call it over
at katv R because it's going to snow in April. Everybody,
(17:12):
you know, cover your pipes, cover your plants, go shake
the trees. Traffic was horrible this morning. I'm just curious
as to how many he's already had. Well do you
think it it ever varies? Yeah, it's not eveny different
from any other day. But it's just the what he's
(17:34):
drinking today. So today it's tequila. Got it? So I
mentioned the last segment that i've and it's still it's
still in the development stage because I still need to
get you know, the podcasts up and and other things
on the substack page. But it's at heck of a
job dot substack dot com, and I really would appreciate
(17:56):
it if you ever read. I'll put a story up
today about the link so called free ride down in
Douglas County with all of the financial details so that
you can share that with all of the taxpayers and
quite frankly, taxpayers all over the country because the thing
that this link service does is the same thing that
(18:17):
you see happening all across the country. Republicans and Democrats
that like to do it, and it drives me up
the freaking wall. They come to you and tell you, oh,
look we're going to do something, it's only going to
cost you X. Think about the train in California. Think
about the Cuckoo for Coco Puffs train that they're going
to build, that they want to build, not in our
life's time, not not until the end of civilization, from
(18:41):
where Fort Collins down to Pueblo or something. And they
tell us it's going to cost X number of dollars,
is going to cost you X squared or excubed by
the time they finally do it. And so that story
on the substack page is an example of how I
take a story that we've talked about and expand it.
Here's another example. Governor Polis posted on X last week
(19:04):
that he has a plan to save Colorado homeowners up
to eight hundred dollars a year on their insurance. Now
I appreciate the ambition, I really do. In fact, I
appreciate the eight hundred dollars. Although eight hundred dollars is
about well, maybe it's about twenty five percent of I pay.
I think I pay about thirty two three thirty three
hundred dollars a year for my homeowner's insurance. And that's
(19:28):
only because after the tornado hit it, which was an
act of God, the previous carrier. In fact, I even
talked to him about it. They said, yeah, actually, what
we're doing, we're raising everybody's premium, whether you're hitting damage
or not, because we just we're trying to price They
literally admitted to me they were trying to price themselves
out of the market. So rather than just say we're
(19:50):
pulling out of Colorado, they just priced you out. Where
I went somewhere else, same thing happened if you undisposed location.
Now in New Mexico, we got a renewal notice, you know.
And if we haven't had a fire down there for
like five years, maybe it's been longer. I forget how
long the fire was. I know I was over on
KO and that was way back in the beginning. In fact,
(20:10):
I think it may have even been in the afternoon,
that's how long ago it's been. It wasn't even in
the morning program anyway. So the local company, the local agent,
I was all upset that I was changing. And I'm like, well,
if I can save fifty sixty seventy five percent of
my homeowners premium, why wouldn't I change? And well, as
long as that's the reason why, and what I know
(20:33):
You've been great to me. It's such the people that
you represent are charging that amount. So Paul says he's
going to save this eight hundred dollars on our insurance
premiums colud of homeowners insurance has doubled since twenty eighteen. Well,
the United States saw a bad fifty eight percent increase.
(20:53):
Colorado had one hundred percent. Yeah, good for Colorado. We're
now ranked somewhere between fourth and eighth most expensive state
in the nation for homeowners insurance. Average premium is running
nearly five thousand dollars a year. And now if you
live up in the foothills, you might be north with
seventy five Yeah, seventy five hundred dollars. So how does
(21:14):
police plan to get us eight hundred dollars back? Mostly
through a listen closely, a grant program. Where do you
get money for a grant? Oh? From the taxpayers. He
wants to do a grant program for hail resistant roofs.
(21:35):
And a new law requiring insurers to show you how
your wildfire risks score is. And something called the Fair
Plan that's just really a last resort insure for people
who can't find coverage at all. Something they did that
in Florida. Republicans in't. I'm calling everybody out on this
one Republican has tried to do it in Florida with
(21:56):
a state backed you know, reinsurance program's broke. I haven't
checked lately, but I think it's broke. But here's what
Governor Polis did not mention in his tweet. His own legislature,
the Democrats and Republicans together down for bullup Bureau just
killed his biggest insurance tool, a reinsurance program that would
(22:17):
have actually helped carry or stay in Colorado, Colorado's market
instead of running for the exit rams. When that bill died,
his own spokesman called it a failure quote in broad daylight.
And here's the other thing. Police leaves office at the
beginning of twenty twenty seven, and he's promising eight hundred
dollars in savings that would arrive if they ever do,
(22:40):
on the next governor's watch. Now, so you believe he's
really I mean, he's out there posting on X all
the time. He's running for something. You know what it is.
He's either running the US Center to go back to
DC or he must be. He must to be in
some Democrat president's cabinet or Hell's belligi. He must to
be the president himself, old bald headed Polish ones to
(23:03):
be you know, you got to go to advance. Here's
what you got to do. Yeah, Is any of this
Polus's fault? Everything specifically, not entirely. The hail alley that
we live in really is. It's a real thing. Wildfire
risk is a real thing too. The Marshall fire, burning
more than a thousand homes in scared every insure in
the entire country. But Colorado did allow decades of development
(23:28):
into these wildfire prone areas with no unified building code,
nothing that required fire resistant construction. That did change a
little bit in twenty twenty five, and the state's regulatory
environment historically held down rated increases, but that forced the
insurers to either leave or slam a policyholder like you
with a sudden massive hike. And Colorado law made it
(23:51):
easy to file roof replacement claims for minimal hail damage
till that bat. The carriers paid billions on that for years,
and they're just done eating it. We're not going to
eat that crap anymore. So when the governor says we're
taking action, well, that's fine, But the honest answer to
(24:12):
why Colorado insurance costs are through the roof is years
of growth at all cost, development into the fire zones,
a regulatory structure that prevented market correcting rate adjustments until
the dam finally just broke, and a liability environment that
treated roofs like lottery tickets. So the ahndular roadmap, it's
(24:32):
a press release to something that is truly a structural problem.
And I wanted to do that story today because there
are a lot other things that you know, when he
talks about his roadmap to reduce homeowners insurance, which is
what he called it on X, well, he leaves out
a lot of the financial information. That's something that I
(24:54):
want to do on the substack is rather than bore
you with numbers here, just kind of give you the
t old rs the cool kids like to say about
here's what he said, and here's how stupid it is.
And then eventually over on substack, I'll give you the
deats about why it is just a bunch of bull
crap that the governor's trying to, you know, shove down
your throat. So that's that heck of a job. Dot substack,
(25:17):
Dot com. It hasn't. It's the domain. The domain name
has been bought heck of a job dot com, but
it hasn't propagated yet. So you need to go to
the substack and you can search for heck of a
job and you'll find right now that your free uber
isn't free. Douglas County commissioners forgot to tell you who's
really paying.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
Good morning, Michael Dragon, happy sing domyo, I mean happy
gringo DeMaio.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Uh have a good day, guys. Bye bye, yeah, just stop,
just stop by your head. Good agree. James Comy, the
former director of the FBI, is I think in serious
legal trouble. I've done some more into the case against him,
But why I find most interesting is the cabal, the
(26:06):
dominant media, the mainstream media, desperately wants you to believe otherwise.
So let's kind of lay it out a little bit
like a prosecutor would, because well, uh, that's kind of
what we're dealing with, is a prosecution fact number one.
Last Tuesday, a federal grand jury in the Eastern District
of North Carolina indicted James Comy, the former director, twice.
(26:30):
Indicted him twice two counts threatening the life of the
president of the United States and transmitting a threat in
interstate commerce. So let's think about the basics. A now
deleted Instagram photo that Comy posted last year, seashells on
the Beach, arranged the spell out eighty six forty seven.
Prosecutors say eighty six is a symbol for getting rid
(26:52):
of someone or something, and forty seven refers to Trump.
The forty seven the president now, Colemy says that he
didn't realize that some people associate those numbers with violence,
to which I say, yeah, whatever, your law enforcement. That's
fact number one. Fact number two. Apparently, this is not
(27:14):
a rogue prosecution built on the beach photo. Acting Attorney
General Todd blanche set on meet the Press just this
past Sunday that this is quote about a body of
evidence that the grand jury collected over the series, over
a series of about eleven months, eleven months of investigation.
(27:37):
That's not political theater, and that's telling me there's something
more than a now deleted Instagram post that had seashells
arranged to say eighty six forty seven. That's a case
that's being methodically built and accepted by the grand jury.
That's fact number two. There's fact number three, and this
(27:59):
is where it gets kind of really kind of ironic.
Fotal prosecutors in the Eastern District of Virginia have revived
a separate, interrelated investigation into whether Comby leaked classified information
to his old friend Daniel Richmond. Remember that guy, He
was the Columbia University law professor. They're looking into that too.
That's part of the grand jury investigation. Those memos that
(28:22):
detail Comee's private conversations with President Trump got passed on
to Professor Richmond, who then conveyed those contents to The
New York Times, and that fueled the twenty seventeen front
page story that did what That was the match that
lit the string, the fuse going to the oh, the
(28:45):
Russia collusion arraty. Now, no decision has been made yet
to present that particular case to a grand jury, but
the deliberations are active and the trajectory is clear. But
the irony that should not be lost in anybody is this.
The Department of Justice's own Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, who
was an Obama appointee, has already concluded that Comby violated
(29:10):
FBI policy by retaining and then leaking his memos, and
the Inspector General called that a dangerous example. That's not
a GOPI Republican talking point. That is the government's own
internal watchdog. The Inspector General, who is an Obama appointee,
looking at and saying, mm, yeah, this is probably a
(29:33):
violation of the law. Now, if the Virginia charges move forward,
it would decount them the third time that the Trump
Justice Department has tried to indict James Comy since last fall. Now,
the defenders of Komy are going to say, obviously, this
is a weaponized Department of Justice going after a political enemy. Now,
(29:53):
that argument, I think has some appeal on the surface.
The problem is that argument is meant to I mean,
that's a political argument, and it's meant to make you think, oh,
here's Trump trying to get revenge. The problem is that
narrative runs directly into the Inspector General's findings. It comes
(30:17):
up and slams against the wall with a federal grand
jury that deliberated for nearly a year, and of course
it runs into OH Title eighteen, the same criminal statutes
that Comy himself used to go after the members of
the Trump team. James Comy once said that, well, the
wheels of justice turns slowly, but they do turn. Well, Jimbo,
(30:39):
guess what I think they are turning. And I think
that if I were you, you can put up all
the little Instagram videos about how you think this is.
You know, they're just coming to get you and you're
being you know, you're being scapegoaded, and blah blah blah blah. Hmmm.
That's interesting because, uh, I think the overall verdict, they're
(31:02):
solid and accurate material facts. I think the only caution
is distinguishing the filed North Carolin indicte North Carolina indictment
from the Virginia probe, which is still in the investigative
and deliberation phase being undertaken, and looking at not just oh,
the Instagram photo, but looking at the emails, the leaking
(31:23):
of classified information, the violation of confidentiality between the FBI
director and the President of the United States of America,
and using that start the Russian collusion hoax. Now, Jimbo
might want to be a little careful
