Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm watching the news last night.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
And Jared Polis and a bunch of yahoos show up
in Boulder, and look they're they're Yahoo's regardless of what
happened in Boulder, Jared Poulis and the Democrats are they're all.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
A bunch of yahoos. City council and boulderst a bunch
of yahoos. Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
But they show up and they're talking about you know,
I mean, I get so tired of you.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Know, Boston strong, Boulder strong, all that. You know.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Come on, it's this is the real world we live in,
and bad things happen. It's good versus evil, and yes,
you know we're strong, but you know, life goes on too.
The the thing that struck me was and I don't
have any sound from it because I don't. Yeah, I
really don't care to play what they said, but to paraphrase,
(00:52):
something that Polis said was to the effect that all
of these officials are here, and all all these officials
are here to show that we.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
All stand together.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
What he failed to mention is that and I don't
know whether this particular person was there or not. She
may or may not have been, but what I do
know is the Boulder City Council decided to write a
strongly worded letter, and so they wrote a letter about
the incident that occurred Sunday in which this nut job
(01:24):
from Egypt, who should not have been in the country
in the first place, decided that, Hey, I think I'll just,
you know, take a bunch of Molotov cocktails and I'll
throw all these molotov cocktails into a crowd of both
Jews and Gentiles who are trying to support the hostages
held by a state sponsored terrorist organization Hamas. Anybody can
(01:46):
write a letter BFD right, and anybody can write a letter.
Passing a letter condemning an anti Semitic attack is pretty
much an easy thing to do. It doesn't take much
courage or fortitude to write and then vote on and
pass a letter. However, it does take a lot of
(02:09):
hootsbah for an individual to not sign the letter, which
is exactly what a councilwoman by the name of Taisha
ty Taysha, Tisha, Tysha, I don't know. Last name's Adams,
tayd Taya, No, it's not tell you Tysha Adams. Some woman. Now,
(02:30):
why did she not sign the letter? The letter condemned
the anti Semitic attack that took place in Boulder. She's
upset because the letter did not did not also condemn Zionism. Hmm,
I wonder why she did that. Why would she be
opposed to a letter because if it it condemned the
(02:58):
anti Semitic attack, which is clearly what it is that
took place in Boulder. But she's upset because it didn't
mention Zionism. She's an anti Zionist. Okay, anybody know what
that means. Well, first, let's senk what zionism is. Zionism
(03:20):
is you would consider me a Zionist. It's a political
movement that advocates for the establishment and the support of
a Jewish homeland, especially in Israel, the support of a
Jewish state. So if you're opposed to that, what is
your ideological opposition? Will you reject the concept of a
(03:42):
Jewish state as a form of nationalism or ethno religious exclusivity.
Now some argue that conflicts with principles of universal equality
or secular government governance. Opposing the policies are the actions
of the State of Israel. Without necessarily rejecting the idea
(04:07):
of a Jewish homeland, is something that a pluralistic society
like Israel does on a regular basis. I think a
lot of people have the idea that Israel is this
monolithic country, that it is nothing but Jews, and they,
in fact, they must all be just strict Orthodox Jews too,
(04:30):
which is clearly enough tastes and it shows a blatant,
overwhelming ignorance about Israel. You ever go to Israel, you'll
find obviously a lot of Jews, a lot of Gentiles.
You'll find Muslims of all things, lots of Muslims. You'll
find air quote here so called Palestinians, so opposing the
(04:56):
policies or actions of the Kanessean whatever you know their
congress may do or not do.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
That's just part of a pluralistic society that is governed
in a democratic fashion, in which people debate issues and
have a representative government that decides that, hey, this is
going to be the policies and not the policies by
which we have a social compact and the laws by
which we live by. But challenging the legitimacy of Israel's establishment,
(05:30):
questioning the historical or the moral basis for Jewish self
determination in the region, that's what she's upset about. Now,
some groups, including certain Jewish communities, particularly ultra Orthodox groups,
they might oppose Zionism, but they might oppose Zionism on
(05:53):
religious grounds because they believe that the Jewish state really
should not exist until divine redemption, until God in human
form actually returns to the earth. Now, anti Zionism is
distinct from anti Semitism. Often though the two are conflated
(06:16):
in debates. Critics just trying to be objective here. Critics
of anti Zionism argue that it can sometimes serves as
a pretext, and I think it does in this case,
serves as a pretext for antisemitic rhetoric or actions. Well,
anti Zionists maintain that their stance target to political ideology
or state policies, not the Jewish people as a group,
(06:39):
And the nuance truly depends heavily on context, intent and expression.
So in this context, where you had an individual in
this country illegally violently attack burn people I found out
last night too and use that well there was a
dog injured, also really got me pissed off. So you
(07:04):
in the context of just condemning the attack, Taysha Adams
decides not to sign the letter because it doesn't also
at the same time condemn Zionism.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
HM.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Well, in that context, it seems to me that she
might herself be exhibiting some traits of anti Semitism. So
when Jared Polus stands up in front of a crowd
and says that everyone stands here together and that we
all condemn apparently Facia Adams does not condemn it. Now again,
(07:45):
I go back to the point that I think writing
a letter is you know, kind of whopooped to do.
I mean, you know, well, you know, considering it's the
Boulder City Council, I mean, writing a strong letter condemning
anti Semitism must have taken a lot of courage on
this their part, must have taken a lot of effort
and energy to compose that letter and make it such
(08:06):
an I haven't read the other because I frank they don't
give her brats asked what the letter says, because I
know that probably you know, they Oh, they're upset, they're
upset that they've got some I mean, we got the Sundance,
you know, film festival coming and we're gonna spend a
lot of taxpayer money on that. And now we've got,
you know, an act of violence of all places, the
pro street mall, oh my gosh, we can't have that.
(08:27):
So we got to put together a letter condemning it.
And one councilwoman, Taysha Adams, decides that she can't sign
the letter because it doesn't also condemn Zionism. So is
she opposed to universal equality or secular governance? Is she
(08:49):
opposed to any particular policies or actions in the state
of Israel? I bet she is. I bet she really is.
I bet she's actually a Hamas supporter, or a at
least a gaz And supporter. And she probably claims that
Israel is, you know, starving the people in Gaza and
it's killing children left and right. I don't know, but
(09:11):
I would just guess that. So I just thought it
was interesting that while we have everybody's standing up and
saying we're all unified, conveniently leave out the fact that
one individual decided not to sign a letter. I mentioned
(09:32):
casually yesterday that there's this disturbing new trend in Russian
espionage and it's raising alarms across Europe. Political had a
report that the Kremlin is trying to turn not try
and they actually are turning to ordinary civilians, and they're
recruiting these ordinary civilians to act as freelance agents to
(09:55):
carry out access habotage. For example, just last month this
I told you about this massive fire. Well I got
some more details about it. This massive fire tore through
the I'm not purposely bastardizing it. I'm just not very
good at pronouncing these Polish names. Mariwillska, the Mariwilska forty
(10:16):
four shopping mall. It's in Warsaw. It destroyed about eighty
percent of the complex, completely destroyed almost fifteen hundred stores.
So imagine something like Park Medals, the big mall down
here in South Denver. Imagine massive fire just ripping through
that place, destroying eighty percent of that complex, which is
(10:39):
a huge complex, and destroying fourteen hundred of more stores. Now,
officials originally thought this was an accident, and the Polish
officials originally came out and said it was arson. Then
they discovered it was actually orchestrated by civilians that were
recruited by Russia through encrypted apps like telegram.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Right, a little maybe signal, Maybe they were using a signal.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
The Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski told the BBC that Russia
paid those individuals to set the blaze. So this is
part of what I'm finding out that experts are calling
Russia's gig model. You know, we have a gig economy,
the gig economy where you you do the.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh, what is it? A rod?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You know where you uh, you go online and you
pay somebody to go grocery grocery shopping for you and
they bring in groceries.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
What's that called? You don't have a clue either, do you?
What is it?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You also have the gig economy that is well Uber
and Lyft, those are gig economies. Or you hire an
individual to do some you know, small task for you,
a gig economy. Well, Russia has adopted that same model
up for terrorism and subversion, where anybody students construction workers,
(12:05):
even in this case part time models can be hired
for one off acts of sabotage. In the United Kingdom,
there are attacks that have been linked to Moscow that
if targeted properties connected to Prime Minister Kere Starmer, with
suspects including a oh wait a minute, the Russians are
recruiting a Ukrainian student.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Instacart. What was the other one.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
You say, there's Postmates, Housemates, Postmates.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Postmates, Postmates Postmates. Obviously I've never used either one, but
I do understand that people make a lot of money
on Instacart. Well, now, if you want to do a
gig economy, because for all of the illigal aliens in
this country, you know that we have no idea where
they're from. All these Chinese nationals and you know, all
these Egyptian nationals and others. Hey, here's an opportunity to
(12:56):
turn some money if you can't get a if you
can't get a work permit since Biden's out of office now,
I mean, I just find this hilarious. So they in
the attacks in the UK, they hired a Ukrainian student
and a Romanian worker, recruited as obviously disposable agents because
(13:17):
they don't care whether they live or die. The director
of mi I five says that Russia is increasingly right
relying on these proxies, private opera, these small time, part
time criminals to do their dirty work. They're freelancers. Imagine
that freelance terrorism, free lance, sabotage, And then you wonder
(13:37):
why you think sometimes I put a tinfoil hat On,
and I wonder about hmm, that fire seems oddly strange,
that wildfire. I don't remember any storms being in that area,
so I don't remember any lightning strikes. You know, you
got all the fires going up in Canada right now.
I wonder how many of those were started by free
(13:59):
lancers paid by the Kremlin. Now, obviously they operate, according
to Politico anyway, in a gray zone because it makes
it nearly impossible to directly tie their action to the Kremlin.
So you got sabotage cars in Germany, to disrupted train
(14:19):
lines in Sweden. Now, I want you to think about
every little thing you know yesterday the big news. And
I'm not saying this is what happened. I'm just saying
every time you start hearing one of these stories, you
might think back to this segment and think, hmm, I wonder,
(14:43):
just wonder. Now we'll get more details. But I'm talking
about the accident on the seventy that shut down. I
was at Westbound and I don't know shut down, I
seventy And when I went to bed last night it
was I seventy was still shut down, And having put
together my notes for the story, I started thinking, oh,
(15:06):
what a way to disrupt commerce. Just shut down the
major economic truck route between here in Salt Lake City
I seventy or here in the West Coast I seventy
And just cause you know, you do it here, you
do it in Kansas City, you do it down in Houston,
you do it in Chicago somewhere, you do it in
I ninety five, you do it almost anywhere. Who's to
(15:30):
say that the Kremlin's not doing it? Because if you're
going to sabotage cars in Germany, if you're going to
disrupt train lines in Zweden, and that tactic is sowing
chaos all across Europe, well who says that they couldn't
be doing it here? And clearly that poses a nightmare
for Western intelligence agencies. They're trying to track and then
(15:54):
stop all these now decentralized threats, which means it's a.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Whole new world, an entirely different world now.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I mean, well, well, hijackers still try to hijack planes
and fly them into buildings as on nine to eleven,
Sure they will, but at least we secured the cockpit door.
Or maybe they'll just start shutting down interstate highways transit systems, airports,
any number of things you ever thought about. Oh if
(16:27):
we've got a broken or have we've got it? Well,
first of all, I can't claim this is true for Newark,
But what if Newark the problem with the internet service?
You know, they're building it, you know, I forget whether
it's Verizon or AT and T, but somebody's building a
fiber optic line so that air traffic control can get
back up and running and they can increase the traffic.
(16:50):
Oh what if somebody breaks the line. It's almost as
if it's out of a movie, you know, in the
movies where you know they they paint the try to
look like a utility van, and it's some you know,
electrician or electrical company contractor or something, and they find
some uniforms, they steal some uniforms, and they make their
(17:10):
way into Hey, we're here to check on your Here,
we're here to check on your on your fuse box.
And sure enough you go in and you're not really
checking in on the fuse box. You're there to detonate something
or to create havy So as Russia ramps up this
use of free lance, sabateurs, that's the word I want
(17:32):
you to remember. At least in Europe, they're now scrambling
to tighten security encounter this shadowy new form of aggression.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
What are we doing here? Huh?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We've got so much infrastructure that is totally unprotected. Next
time you see a substation somewhere, just think how.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Easy would it be. They don't wait, you don't have
any good ones. You don't have any at all.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Oh well, those are both the same thing. You only
get good ones. I've listened, I've worked this show a
couple of times. I know you forget you know, in
old age.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Trust me, I'll block it that every time you.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Want to yea, yeah, you know what, old age things happen.
I understand. I'm not going to blame you for it.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Who are you? You, young whipper snapper? Who are you?
I don't have a red beard, you don't.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I have not yet transformed into a dragon behy working
with you for a couple of weeks may.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And you have and you know what, and.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You you have a a Hispanic surname like Rodriguez.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
How do we allow you in the building? I mean, oh,
oh you are You're a diversity higher That's what.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
It is, Yaya.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It all makes sense. Now, yeah, I totally get it.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Years of not knowing.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Let's put the Rodriguez guy in with the brown guy
and we'll have.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Oh, diversity.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well done, so we can celebrate whatever a month we
get to celebrate, which all of the months we get
to celebrate every damn month. This is what it kills
me about you guys, you goobers. I just used the
I seventy accident as something to just think about. I
(19:25):
didn't say, In fact, I think I very specifically said,
I'm not claiming that the I seventy wreck was one
of these Russian you know, gig saboteurs. But then I
get this from sixty six ninety eight. Yeah, which, don't
get me wrong, I appreciate the information because this is
the kind of story that I would not pay much
(19:46):
attention to at all, Michael, without being anywhere near that
accident on seventy, I'm about ninety percent sure that I
know why it happened. The right lane coming up that
hill has so many ruts in it that it throws
vehicles side to side. Via If a semi was passing
another one as it got thrown to the side, they
could easily make contact and have an accident. I'm a
(20:07):
commercial driver in no firsthand just how bad it is.
This is a failure of the Democrat leadership.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Of this state.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Have fun with this squirrel, Well, I will, because once
again set aside that there's any implication that the I
seventy shut down in that accident was part of the
Russian sabatur program that probably really is operating in this country.
We just don't really realize it yet. We haven't woken up.
We're too damn We're too damn asleep. But what I
(20:36):
love about this is that it's another example of why
is Colorado. Remember yesterday I said that Colorado. Somebody in
a talk back said that we are we're getting almost
as bad as California, and I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no. We have caught up to California. And in fact,
(20:56):
right now, if we were a horse race, it's neck
and neck as we approach the finish line. And if
Polis and the Yahoo's out of the Colorado Pullet Bureau
have their way, we will win by a nose. We
might leave, we might win by a length if we're
lucky or unlucky. And I say, actually, I say lucky
because you know what, the quicker. We surpassed California. The quicker.
(21:20):
We go down the toilet that they've made Colorado into.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
The quicker.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
We come out the other end, and we can start
fixing this damn place, which makes me want to go
to I finally, I went through my notes last night
about the bag fee. So let's go through the bag fee.
Although I'm not really sure. I can't guarantee you that
this has any coherent logic to it, it's just what
(21:47):
I've been able to find out because I thought, which
shows sometimes how I just gloss over some stories. I
thought that Colorado was not necessarily directly collecting the fee,
but that some of the fee was going to the
State of Colorado.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I was I'm not totally wrong.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
The State of Colorado does not directly collect the ten
cent bag fee. It's managed by the municipalities and the counties.
So I had go to back. I had to go
back to House Bill twenty one eleven sixty two. You
put the do you remember what the name of the
bill was? We all know it's the bag fee bill, right,
but you remember what it was called the Plastic Pollution
(22:29):
Reduction Act. So the basic question is has this reduced
plastic pollution in the state of Colorado. Now, my, how
time flies when we're having fun. The bill became effect
of January one, twenty twenty three. Retailer's charge a ten
(22:51):
cent fee per single use plastic or paper bag. Now
we know that we've since gone full board no plastic
bags soever, at least at the checkout. Now we know
that the plastic bags still exists everywhere else in the store.
You know, you want to put your head of broccoli
in something, you put it in a plastic bag, or
(23:14):
if you're like me and you always use you know,
we have this routine that you go through on trash day.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
So the night before, you know, because you go, hey,
go have your.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Trash out by a certain time, we put the trash out.
And then, rather than waste an entire other trash bag,
we went onto Amazon and we bought the plastic bags
like you would have gotten at King Supers or Safeway
or Sprouts.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Or anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And now we use those as a little mini trash
bag just for the morning trash because even though you
have to have your trash out, you know, by six
am on trash day, it never gets picked up until
two or three in the afternoon, so we we we
still buy and still have trash bags. And by the way,
I still use plastic trash when I'm walking the dogs
(24:01):
to pick up the dog poop. So my use of plastic,
probably if it's been reduced, is minimal at best.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
So anyway, we'll go back.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
So ten cents fee per single use plastic or paper bag.
Sixty percent is supposed to be paid to the local
municipality or the county, and then forty percent gets retained
by the retailer to cover administrative costs. Huh, you mean
(24:35):
the cost of putting in your pos your point of
sales system. Just a few lines of code that asks
you which dragon and I still answer no. You know,
at least at my King Supers it says how many
bags would you like to purchase? Well, my answer to
(24:56):
that question is zero. I would not like to purchase
any bags.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I may have two or three paper bags there that
I'm going to use, but I don't want to purchase them.
So until King Soupers actually changes the question, I'll continue
to answer the question. Honestly, I don't want to purchase
any now. If they ever ask me how many of
our paper bags. Are you are you using that we
(25:24):
need to charge you for? Then I'll tell them it's
two or three. But until then, I'm not going to
tell them anything. So they get to keep forty percent,
forty cents or four cents, yes technically four cents to
cover their administrative costs. But here's what I found out.
There is no centralized state level data that exists anywhere
(25:47):
that I can find on the total revenue collective state wide,
and that the Colorado Department of Revenue does not administer
or collect this fee or maintain any records at least
that I can find without going full FOYA full color
Open Records Act and finding out anything. But I did
find a few specifics because some cities have reported their
(26:11):
collections for last year. So here's some at least deminimous
insight into how much revenue they've collected. Let's start with Denver.
Denver collected almost seven hundred thousand dollars last year from
the bag fee, contributing to a total of six point
(26:33):
two million since Denver's bag fee program began in twenty
twenty one, six point two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Now I don't know, I mean, I'm tell you.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I'm gonna tell you in a minute what they're supposed
to use the money for. But I know what they
could they could use the money for. Fill the damn potholes,
fix the traffic lights, repair some bridges I don't know,
clean up the damn streets, do that, Sweep some homeless
(27:07):
people and druggies.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Maybe hire some cops. Six point two million dollars, hire
some cops.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Aurora.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Aurora collected one million, six hundred and sixty one thousand
dollars in twenty twenty four. I find that's just what
the number show. Pueblo collected three hundred thousand dollars. Colorado
Springs reported approximately one point two million in annual revenue
(27:39):
based on a sample sided in a twenty twenty five
legislative discussion about the bank fee that I found, Let's
go up to a little town like mead Me collected
about nine hundred dollars. One of the lowest annual reports
that I could find. Let's go up, I said, mean
drive up to Gramby. Gramby generated per capita revenue of
(28:03):
about eight dollars and twenty four cents. But I couldn't
find the total annual revenue, so i'd have to calculate
the population, you know, figure out what it is at
eight dollars and twenty four cents per capita. Now those
figures reflect only obviously a sample of cities, because state
wide totals are not aggregated in any sort of available
resources that I could find. Maybe you could find somebody,
(28:24):
I couldn't find any. Now, the smaller municipalities, especially those
that do not have any sort of established remittance process,
they actually can allow the business to keep the ten
cent bag fee for air quote here waste diversion programs,
(28:49):
which further complicates getting any sort of state white estimates.
So this real quickly before the break. A rough extrapolation
based on Dimro's population seven hundred and ten thousand people
and it's six hundred or almost seven hundred thousand dollars
collection suggests that for Colorado's five point eight million residents,
(29:10):
total municipal collections could be in the range of several
million dollars annually. But that's total speculation on my part.
But what does the bag fee go to? Obviously I
have to carry this over into the next hour, but
I want you to now think about this.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Now, remember this bill is you know, the.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Plastic Reduction Waste Act or some stupid thing like that.
So now we know that we're collecting millions of dollars
mess stupid bag fee. So where's the money going. The
sixty percent of the bag fee revenue that's given to
the cities and the counties is primarily used for environmental
(29:50):
and community programs, which means it's going into a black hole.
And that black hole is a black hole that the
favored you know, constituents, city councils or counties, you know
their friends, are getting contracts to provide these different kinds
(30:14):
of programs. Well, what kind of programs are we paying
for with your stupid bag fee? Waste reduction and diversion programs?
You know, in criminal justice, you have what's called a
diversion program. It's where you take someone who has, you know,
been accused of a crime and they plead guilty to
(30:34):
the crime and you put them in a diversion program.
It's it's like probation, it's like a deferred sentence, and
you put them in that program and say, okay, if
you be a good person, if you be a good
little boy for the next two years, will divert you
and then you can come back and if you've been
a good boy for two years, we'll drop the charges. Well,
I guess you know we're saying to plastic bags now,
if you'll just go away for a couple of years,
(30:56):
We're going to hire some people to put together a
waste reduction and diversion program. So what does that do well?
That those money support recycling, composting, and other waste diversion initiatives.
For example, Denver uses its share to reduce plastic waste
through programs like something called Reuse Denver. What does that
(31:20):
do well?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That helps?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
That's the only where I could find helps restaurants transition
to reusable food service where like you know, you get
your you go to the Chinese restaurant and you get
the container to put your Chinese food in. It's at
least every Chinese restaurant I've been to, it's plastic. Well,
(31:44):
Denver's wanting to help restaurants convert to reusable food service ware,
you know, plates, cups, you know for dine in services.
I would just say, based on anecdotal experience, that program
is an utter failure, and utter failure, which I'm happy
(32:06):
for because trust me, I don't want flimsy, crappy stuff
to bring my leftovers home. No. In fact, I kind
of prefer the kind that's really good that you can
put it right into the microwave.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That's the best kind. Oh, but there are
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Other things, well, we got four or five other things
to cover about where your money's going
I'm watching the news last night.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
And Jared Polis and a bunch of yahoos show up
in Boulder, and look they're they're Yahoo's regardless of what
happened in Boulder, Jared Poulis and the Democrats are they're all.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
A bunch of yahoos. City council and boulderst a bunch
of yahoos. Blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
But they show up and they're talking about you know,
I mean, I get so tired of you.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Know, Boston strong, Boulder strong, all that. You know.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Come on, it's this is the real world we live in,
and bad things happen. It's good versus evil, and yes,
you know we're strong, but you know, life goes on too.
The the thing that struck me was and I don't
have any sound from it because I don't. Yeah, I
really don't care to play what they said, but to paraphrase,
(00:52):
something that Polis said was to the effect that all
of these officials are here, and all all these officials
are here to show that we.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
All stand together.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
What he failed to mention is that and I don't
know whether this particular person was there or not. She
may or may not have been, but what I do
know is the Boulder City Council decided to write a
strongly worded letter, and so they wrote a letter about
the incident that occurred Sunday in which this nut job
(01:24):
from Egypt, who should not have been in the country
in the first place, decided that, Hey, I think I'll just,
you know, take a bunch of Molotov cocktails and I'll
throw all these molotov cocktails into a crowd of both
Jews and Gentiles who are trying to support the hostages
held by a state sponsored terrorist organization Hamas. Anybody can
(01:46):
write a letter BFD right, and anybody can write a letter.
Passing a letter condemning an anti Semitic attack is pretty
much an easy thing to do. It doesn't take much
courage or fortitude to write and then vote on and
pass a letter. However, it does take a lot of
(02:09):
hootsbah for an individual to not sign the letter, which
is exactly what a councilwoman by the name of Taisha
ty Taysha, Tisha, Tysha, I don't know. Last name's Adams,
tayd Taya, No, it's not tell you Tysha Adams. Some woman. Now,
(02:30):
why did she not sign the letter? The letter condemned
the anti Semitic attack that took place in Boulder. She's
upset because the letter did not did not also condemn Zionism. Hmm,
I wonder why she did that. Why would she be
opposed to a letter because if it it condemned the
(02:58):
anti Semitic attack, which is clearly what it is that
took place in Boulder. But she's upset because it didn't
mention Zionism. She's an anti Zionist. Okay, anybody know what
that means. Well, first, let's senk what zionism is. Zionism
(03:20):
is you would consider me a Zionist. It's a political
movement that advocates for the establishment and the support of
a Jewish homeland, especially in Israel, the support of a
Jewish state. So if you're opposed to that, what is
your ideological opposition? Will you reject the concept of a
(03:42):
Jewish state as a form of nationalism or ethno religious exclusivity.
Now some argue that conflicts with principles of universal equality
or secular government governance. Opposing the policies are the actions
of the State of Israel. Without necessarily rejecting the idea
(04:07):
of a Jewish homeland, is something that a pluralistic society
like Israel does on a regular basis. I think a
lot of people have the idea that Israel is this
monolithic country, that it is nothing but Jews, and they,
in fact, they must all be just strict Orthodox Jews too,
(04:30):
which is clearly enough tastes and it shows a blatant,
overwhelming ignorance about Israel. You ever go to Israel, you'll
find obviously a lot of Jews, a lot of Gentiles.
You'll find Muslims of all things, lots of Muslims. You'll
find air quote here so called Palestinians, so opposing the
(04:56):
policies or actions of the Kanessean whatever you know their
congress may do or not do.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Well.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
That's just part of a pluralistic society that is governed
in a democratic fashion, in which people debate issues and
have a representative government that decides that, hey, this is
going to be the policies and not the policies by
which we have a social compact and the laws by
which we live by. But challenging the legitimacy of Israel's establishment,
(05:30):
questioning the historical or the moral basis for Jewish self
determination in the region, that's what she's upset about. Now,
some groups, including certain Jewish communities, particularly ultra Orthodox groups,
they might oppose Zionism, but they might oppose Zionism on
(05:53):
religious grounds because they believe that the Jewish state really
should not exist until divine redemption, until God in human
form actually returns to the earth. Now, anti Zionism is
distinct from anti Semitism. Often though the two are conflated
(06:16):
in debates. Critics just trying to be objective here. Critics
of anti Zionism argue that it can sometimes serves as
a pretext, and I think it does in this case,
serves as a pretext for antisemitic rhetoric or actions. Well,
anti Zionists maintain that their stance target to political ideology
or state policies, not the Jewish people as a group,
(06:39):
And the nuance truly depends heavily on context, intent and expression.
So in this context, where you had an individual in
this country illegally violently attack burn people I found out
last night too and use that well there was a
dog injured, also really got me pissed off. So you
(07:04):
in the context of just condemning the attack, Taysha Adams
decides not to sign the letter because it doesn't also
at the same time condemn Zionism.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
HM.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Well, in that context, it seems to me that she
might herself be exhibiting some traits of anti Semitism. So
when Jared Polus stands up in front of a crowd
and says that everyone stands here together and that we
all condemn apparently Facia Adams does not condemn it. Now again,
(07:45):
I go back to the point that I think writing
a letter is you know, kind of whopooped to do.
I mean, you know, well, you know, considering it's the
Boulder City Council, I mean, writing a strong letter condemning
anti Semitism must have taken a lot of courage on
this their part, must have taken a lot of effort
and energy to compose that letter and make it such
(08:06):
an I haven't read the other because I frank they don't
give her brats asked what the letter says, because I
know that probably you know, they Oh, they're upset, they're
upset that they've got some I mean, we got the Sundance,
you know, film festival coming and we're gonna spend a
lot of taxpayer money on that. And now we've got,
you know, an act of violence of all places, the
pro street mall, oh my gosh, we can't have that.
(08:27):
So we got to put together a letter condemning it.
And one councilwoman, Taysha Adams, decides that she can't sign
the letter because it doesn't also condemn Zionism. So is
she opposed to universal equality or secular governance? Is she
(08:49):
opposed to any particular policies or actions in the state
of Israel? I bet she is. I bet she really is.
I bet she's actually a Hamas supporter, or a at
least a gaz And supporter. And she probably claims that
Israel is, you know, starving the people in Gaza and
it's killing children left and right. I don't know, but
(09:11):
I would just guess that. So I just thought it
was interesting that while we have everybody's standing up and
saying we're all unified, conveniently leave out the fact that
one individual decided not to sign a letter. I mentioned
(09:32):
casually yesterday that there's this disturbing new trend in Russian
espionage and it's raising alarms across Europe. Political had a
report that the Kremlin is trying to turn not try
and they actually are turning to ordinary civilians, and they're
recruiting these ordinary civilians to act as freelance agents to
(09:55):
carry out access habotage. For example, just last month this
I told you about this massive fire. Well I got
some more details about it. This massive fire tore through
the I'm not purposely bastardizing it. I'm just not very
good at pronouncing these Polish names. Mariwillska, the Mariwilska forty
(10:16):
four shopping mall. It's in Warsaw. It destroyed about eighty
percent of the complex, completely destroyed almost fifteen hundred stores.
So imagine something like Park Medals, the big mall down
here in South Denver. Imagine massive fire just ripping through
that place, destroying eighty percent of that complex, which is
(10:39):
a huge complex, and destroying fourteen hundred of more stores. Now,
officials originally thought this was an accident, and the Polish
officials originally came out and said it was arson. Then
they discovered it was actually orchestrated by civilians that were
recruited by Russia through encrypted apps like telegram.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Right, a little maybe signal, Maybe they were using a signal.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
The Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski told the BBC that Russia
paid those individuals to set the blaze. So this is
part of what I'm finding out that experts are calling
Russia's gig model. You know, we have a gig economy,
the gig economy where you you do the.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oh, what is it? A rod?
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You know where you uh, you go online and you
pay somebody to go grocery grocery shopping for you and
they bring in groceries.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
What's that called? You don't have a clue either, do you?
What is it?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
You also have the gig economy that is well Uber
and Lyft, those are gig economies. Or you hire an
individual to do some you know, small task for you,
a gig economy. Well, Russia has adopted that same model
up for terrorism and subversion, where anybody students construction workers,
(12:05):
even in this case part time models can be hired
for one off acts of sabotage. In the United Kingdom,
there are attacks that have been linked to Moscow that
if targeted properties connected to Prime Minister Kere Starmer, with
suspects including a oh wait a minute, the Russians are
recruiting a Ukrainian student.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Instacart. What was the other one.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
You say, there's Postmates, Housemates, Postmates.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Postmates, Postmates Postmates. Obviously I've never used either one, but
I do understand that people make a lot of money
on Instacart. Well, now, if you want to do a
gig economy, because for all of the illigal aliens in
this country, you know that we have no idea where
they're from. All these Chinese nationals and you know, all
these Egyptian nationals and others. Hey, here's an opportunity to
(12:56):
turn some money if you can't get a if you
can't get a work permit since Biden's out of office now,
I mean, I just find this hilarious. So they in
the attacks in the UK, they hired a Ukrainian student
and a Romanian worker, recruited as obviously disposable agents because
(13:17):
they don't care whether they live or die. The director
of mi I five says that Russia is increasingly right
relying on these proxies, private opera, these small time, part
time criminals to do their dirty work. They're freelancers. Imagine
that freelance terrorism, free lance, sabotage, And then you wonder
(13:37):
why you think sometimes I put a tinfoil hat On,
and I wonder about hmm, that fire seems oddly strange,
that wildfire. I don't remember any storms being in that area,
so I don't remember any lightning strikes. You know, you
got all the fires going up in Canada right now.
I wonder how many of those were started by free
(13:59):
lancers paid by the Kremlin. Now, obviously they operate, according
to Politico anyway, in a gray zone because it makes
it nearly impossible to directly tie their action to the Kremlin.
So you got sabotage cars in Germany, to disrupted train
(14:19):
lines in Sweden. Now, I want you to think about
every little thing you know yesterday the big news. And
I'm not saying this is what happened. I'm just saying
every time you start hearing one of these stories, you
might think back to this segment and think, hmm, I wonder,
(14:43):
just wonder. Now we'll get more details. But I'm talking
about the accident on the seventy that shut down. I
was at Westbound and I don't know shut down, I
seventy And when I went to bed last night it
was I seventy was still shut down, And having put
together my notes for the story, I started thinking, oh,
(15:06):
what a way to disrupt commerce. Just shut down the
major economic truck route between here in Salt Lake City
I seventy or here in the West Coast I seventy
And just cause you know, you do it here, you
do it in Kansas City, you do it down in Houston,
you do it in Chicago somewhere, you do it in
I ninety five, you do it almost anywhere. Who's to
(15:30):
say that the Kremlin's not doing it? Because if you're
going to sabotage cars in Germany, if you're going to
disrupt train lines in Zweden, and that tactic is sowing
chaos all across Europe, well who says that they couldn't
be doing it here? And clearly that poses a nightmare
for Western intelligence agencies. They're trying to track and then
(15:54):
stop all these now decentralized threats, which means it's a.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Whole new world, an entirely different world now.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
I mean, well, well, hijackers still try to hijack planes
and fly them into buildings as on nine to eleven,
Sure they will, but at least we secured the cockpit door.
Or maybe they'll just start shutting down interstate highways transit systems, airports,
any number of things you ever thought about. Oh if
(16:27):
we've got a broken or have we've got it? Well,
first of all, I can't claim this is true for Newark,
But what if Newark the problem with the internet service?
You know, they're building it, you know, I forget whether
it's Verizon or AT and T, but somebody's building a
fiber optic line so that air traffic control can get
back up and running and they can increase the traffic.
(16:50):
Oh what if somebody breaks the line. It's almost as
if it's out of a movie, you know, in the
movies where you know they they paint the try to
look like a utility van, and it's some you know,
electrician or electrical company contractor or something, and they find
some uniforms, they steal some uniforms, and they make their
(17:10):
way into Hey, we're here to check on your Here,
we're here to check on your on your fuse box.
And sure enough you go in and you're not really
checking in on the fuse box. You're there to detonate something
or to create havy So as Russia ramps up this
use of free lance, sabateurs, that's the word I want
(17:32):
you to remember. At least in Europe, they're now scrambling
to tighten security encounter this shadowy new form of aggression.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
What are we doing here? Huh?
Speaker 2 (17:44):
We've got so much infrastructure that is totally unprotected. Next
time you see a substation somewhere, just think how.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Easy would it be. They don't wait, you don't have
any good ones. You don't have any at all.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Oh well, those are both the same thing. You only
get good ones. I've listened, I've worked this show a
couple of times. I know you forget you know, in
old age.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Trust me, I'll block it that every time you.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Want to yea, yeah, you know what, old age things happen.
I understand. I'm not going to blame you for it.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Who are you? You, young whipper snapper? Who are you?
I don't have a red beard, you don't.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
I have not yet transformed into a dragon behy working
with you for a couple of weeks may.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
And you have and you know what, and.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
You you have a a Hispanic surname like Rodriguez.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
How do we allow you in the building? I mean, oh,
oh you are You're a diversity higher That's what.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
It is, Yaya.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
It all makes sense. Now, yeah, I totally get it.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
Years of not knowing.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
Let's put the Rodriguez guy in with the brown guy
and we'll have.
Speaker 1 (18:56):
Oh, diversity.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Well done, so we can celebrate whatever a month we
get to celebrate, which all of the months we get
to celebrate every damn month. This is what it kills
me about you guys, you goobers. I just used the
I seventy accident as something to just think about. I
(19:25):
didn't say, In fact, I think I very specifically said,
I'm not claiming that the I seventy wreck was one
of these Russian you know, gig saboteurs. But then I
get this from sixty six ninety eight. Yeah, which, don't
get me wrong, I appreciate the information because this is
the kind of story that I would not pay much
(19:46):
attention to at all, Michael, without being anywhere near that
accident on seventy, I'm about ninety percent sure that I
know why it happened. The right lane coming up that
hill has so many ruts in it that it throws
vehicles side to side. Via If a semi was passing
another one as it got thrown to the side, they
could easily make contact and have an accident. I'm a
(20:07):
commercial driver in no firsthand just how bad it is.
This is a failure of the Democrat leadership.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Of this state.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Have fun with this squirrel, Well, I will, because once
again set aside that there's any implication that the I
seventy shut down in that accident was part of the
Russian sabatur program that probably really is operating in this country.
We just don't really realize it yet. We haven't woken up.
We're too damn We're too damn asleep. But what I
(20:36):
love about this is that it's another example of why
is Colorado. Remember yesterday I said that Colorado. Somebody in
a talk back said that we are we're getting almost
as bad as California, and I said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no no. We have caught up to California. And in fact,
(20:56):
right now, if we were a horse race, it's neck
and neck as we approach the finish line. And if
Polis and the Yahoo's out of the Colorado Pullet Bureau
have their way, we will win by a nose. We
might leave, we might win by a length if we're
lucky or unlucky. And I say, actually, I say lucky
because you know what, the quicker. We surpassed California. The quicker.
(21:20):
We go down the toilet that they've made Colorado into.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
The quicker.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
We come out the other end, and we can start
fixing this damn place, which makes me want to go
to I finally, I went through my notes last night
about the bag fee. So let's go through the bag fee.
Although I'm not really sure. I can't guarantee you that
this has any coherent logic to it, it's just what
(21:47):
I've been able to find out because I thought, which
shows sometimes how I just gloss over some stories. I
thought that Colorado was not necessarily directly collecting the fee,
but that some of the fee was going to the
State of Colorado.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
I was I'm not totally wrong.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
The State of Colorado does not directly collect the ten
cent bag fee. It's managed by the municipalities and the counties.
So I had go to back. I had to go
back to House Bill twenty one eleven sixty two. You
put the do you remember what the name of the
bill was? We all know it's the bag fee bill, right,
but you remember what it was called the Plastic Pollution
(22:29):
Reduction Act. So the basic question is has this reduced
plastic pollution in the state of Colorado. Now, my, how
time flies when we're having fun. The bill became effect
of January one, twenty twenty three. Retailer's charge a ten
(22:51):
cent fee per single use plastic or paper bag. Now
we know that we've since gone full board no plastic
bags soever, at least at the checkout. Now we know
that the plastic bags still exists everywhere else in the store.
You know, you want to put your head of broccoli
in something, you put it in a plastic bag, or
(23:14):
if you're like me and you always use you know,
we have this routine that you go through on trash day.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
So the night before, you know, because you go, hey,
go have your.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Trash out by a certain time, we put the trash out.
And then, rather than waste an entire other trash bag,
we went onto Amazon and we bought the plastic bags
like you would have gotten at King Supers or Safeway
or Sprouts.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Or anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
And now we use those as a little mini trash
bag just for the morning trash because even though you
have to have your trash out, you know, by six
am on trash day, it never gets picked up until
two or three in the afternoon, so we we we
still buy and still have trash bags. And by the way,
I still use plastic trash when I'm walking the dogs
(24:01):
to pick up the dog poop. So my use of plastic,
probably if it's been reduced, is minimal at best.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
So anyway, we'll go back.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
So ten cents fee per single use plastic or paper bag.
Sixty percent is supposed to be paid to the local
municipality or the county, and then forty percent gets retained
by the retailer to cover administrative costs. Huh, you mean
(24:35):
the cost of putting in your pos your point of
sales system. Just a few lines of code that asks
you which dragon and I still answer no. You know,
at least at my King Supers it says how many
bags would you like to purchase? Well, my answer to
(24:56):
that question is zero. I would not like to purchase
any bags.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Now.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
I may have two or three paper bags there that
I'm going to use, but I don't want to purchase them.
So until King Soupers actually changes the question, I'll continue
to answer the question. Honestly, I don't want to purchase
any now. If they ever ask me how many of
our paper bags. Are you are you using that we
(25:24):
need to charge you for? Then I'll tell them it's
two or three. But until then, I'm not going to
tell them anything. So they get to keep forty percent,
forty cents or four cents, yes technically four cents to
cover their administrative costs. But here's what I found out.
There is no centralized state level data that exists anywhere
(25:47):
that I can find on the total revenue collective state wide,
and that the Colorado Department of Revenue does not administer
or collect this fee or maintain any records at least
that I can find without going full FOYA full color
Open Records Act and finding out anything. But I did
find a few specifics because some cities have reported their
(26:11):
collections for last year. So here's some at least deminimous
insight into how much revenue they've collected. Let's start with Denver.
Denver collected almost seven hundred thousand dollars last year from
the bag fee, contributing to a total of six point
(26:33):
two million since Denver's bag fee program began in twenty
twenty one, six point two million dollars.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Now I don't know, I mean, I'm tell you.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
I'm gonna tell you in a minute what they're supposed
to use the money for. But I know what they
could they could use the money for. Fill the damn potholes,
fix the traffic lights, repair some bridges I don't know,
clean up the damn streets, do that, Sweep some homeless
(27:07):
people and druggies.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Maybe hire some cops. Six point two million dollars, hire
some cops.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Aurora.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Aurora collected one million, six hundred and sixty one thousand
dollars in twenty twenty four. I find that's just what
the number show. Pueblo collected three hundred thousand dollars. Colorado
Springs reported approximately one point two million in annual revenue
(27:39):
based on a sample sided in a twenty twenty five
legislative discussion about the bank fee that I found, Let's
go up to a little town like mead Me collected
about nine hundred dollars. One of the lowest annual reports
that I could find. Let's go up, I said, mean
drive up to Gramby. Gramby generated per capita revenue of
(28:03):
about eight dollars and twenty four cents. But I couldn't
find the total annual revenue, so i'd have to calculate
the population, you know, figure out what it is at
eight dollars and twenty four cents per capita. Now those
figures reflect only obviously a sample of cities, because state
wide totals are not aggregated in any sort of available
resources that I could find. Maybe you could find somebody,
(28:24):
I couldn't find any. Now, the smaller municipalities, especially those
that do not have any sort of established remittance process,
they actually can allow the business to keep the ten
cent bag fee for air quote here waste diversion programs,
(28:49):
which further complicates getting any sort of state white estimates.
So this real quickly before the break. A rough extrapolation
based on Dimro's population seven hundred and ten thousand people
and it's six hundred or almost seven hundred thousand dollars
collection suggests that for Colorado's five point eight million residents,
(29:10):
total municipal collections could be in the range of several
million dollars annually. But that's total speculation on my part.
But what does the bag fee go to? Obviously I
have to carry this over into the next hour, but
I want you to now think about this.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
Now, remember this bill is you know, the.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Plastic Reduction Waste Act or some stupid thing like that.
So now we know that we're collecting millions of dollars
mess stupid bag fee. So where's the money going. The
sixty percent of the bag fee revenue that's given to
the cities and the counties is primarily used for environmental
(29:50):
and community programs, which means it's going into a black hole.
And that black hole is a black hole that the
favored you know, constituents, city councils or counties, you know
their friends, are getting contracts to provide these different kinds
(30:14):
of programs. Well, what kind of programs are we paying
for with your stupid bag fee? Waste reduction and diversion programs?
You know, in criminal justice, you have what's called a
diversion program. It's where you take someone who has, you know,
been accused of a crime and they plead guilty to
(30:34):
the crime and you put them in a diversion program.
It's it's like probation, it's like a deferred sentence, and
you put them in that program and say, okay, if
you be a good person, if you be a good
little boy for the next two years, will divert you
and then you can come back and if you've been
a good boy for two years, we'll drop the charges. Well,
I guess you know we're saying to plastic bags now,
if you'll just go away for a couple of years,
(30:56):
We're going to hire some people to put together a
waste reduction and diversion program. So what does that do well?
That those money support recycling, composting, and other waste diversion initiatives.
For example, Denver uses its share to reduce plastic waste
through programs like something called Reuse Denver. What does that
(31:20):
do well?
Speaker 1 (31:21):
That helps?
Speaker 2 (31:23):
That's the only where I could find helps restaurants transition
to reusable food service where like you know, you get
your you go to the Chinese restaurant and you get
the container to put your Chinese food in. It's at
least every Chinese restaurant I've been to, it's plastic. Well,
(31:44):
Denver's wanting to help restaurants convert to reusable food service ware,
you know, plates, cups, you know for dine in services.
I would just say, based on anecdotal experience, that program
is an utter failure, and utter failure, which I'm happy
(32:06):
for because trust me, I don't want flimsy, crappy stuff
to bring my leftovers home. No. In fact, I kind
of prefer the kind that's really good that you can
put it right into the microwave.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
That's the best kind. Oh, but there are
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Other things, well, we got four or five other things
to cover about where your money's going
