Speaker 1 (00:00):
Give Michael Brown a following on X at Michael Brown USA. Yesterday,
he did a great post to Shelley Bradberry and the
Denver Posts about what they're planning to do with at
do Better Denver and exposing some of the contributors. It's
(00:21):
very thoughtfully written and points out a lot of the issues.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, that's very kind of you, and I would encourage
you to go read that post on X and if
you don't, I'll be reading it to you shortly. And
this may seem an odd way to start out that
I do want to talk about do Better Denver, But
I want.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
To back up.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You know, sometimes we get these issues that are thrown
right in our face and we have this visceral reaction
to it. And part of what I do on this
program is I opened the kimono and just pretty much
exposed myself. Yeah, really trust me. You need a lot
(01:15):
of may locks to overcome that nausea.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And so the when.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Everything blew up yesterday, actually this for me, this whole
do Better Denver thing started on Sunday and here we
are on Wednesday. And I'll tell you why it started
on Sunday in a minute. But again, I want to
I want to get you in my head before we
get to that particular points.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
As I told you, I've been doing it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You know, I've missed reading a lot, so I've been reading.
I've got you know, I got a pile of books again,
and I'm reading multiple books at the same time again,
which is something I used to do all the time,
and I'm back doing that again.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I got like three or four book's going on and
I and.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I'm going back over some of my old favorites, The
Power Broker by Robert Carrow. I'm going through some more
of I'm not reading the entire book again, but I'm
going through parts of it that are really good. I'm
doing some more reading on the Revolutionary War. I'm going
back and I'm reading things like C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity,
(02:22):
which you know originally aired in parts over the radio
in England during World War Two before you know he
turned it into into into the short book. There's a
chapter in Mere Christianity on Hope. I mean, that's that's
chapter ten. That's that's the entire title of the chapter, Hope.
(02:46):
And as I as I was reading through it, it
struck me as really important to the cause of freedom
throughout the world. You know, I know I've mentioned it
at least a couple of times this week, that there
is this this really dark blanket of tyranny that is
being draped over the world, and at least in this country,
(03:07):
we are really beginning to push back on that. We
recognize that it's there's a darkness out there, and we
are pushing back on it. Well, his chapter on hope
struck me as pretty important to the cause of worldwide
freedom now, primarily because I share the faith of C. S.
(03:29):
Lewis and because of my own determination to use my
life however I can to make the world a better place.
I don't know that I've done any good whatsoever. It's
not for me. I don't sit and I don't well.
I do contemplate it sometimes, and I oftentimes wonder, particularly
(03:50):
as you get older, have I really done anything worthwhile?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Have I?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And it's something that I would encourage you to pause
think about for a moment. Doesn't have to be something big.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
It can be.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Something as simple yet as complicated as raising your children.
I think about Dragon Redbeard, and I think about Dragon's
background and his kids and.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Their mother, which we will not speak too much of
and how.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Dragon has been been able to successfully raise these these
these amazing children. And as much as he and I
go back and forth and make fun of each other,
I admire him for that. I truly admire him for that.
So in my perspective of Dragon, he has accomplished something
great and something incredibly incredibly complicated, and something that could
(04:49):
have gone off the could have gone off the deep end,
but through no fault of his own, just something.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know that one of them just.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Turned into a serial killer, but they didn't. And I
think that has a lot to do with him. In
that chapter, in chapter ten, C. S. Lewis writes, it
is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the
other world that they have become so ineffective in this world.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Let me tell you that again. Let me read that
to you again.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of
the other world that they have become so ineffective in
this In this world, I told you on Monday that
I had been you know, it's the twentieth anniversary of Katrina,
and I'm being inundated with all these requests and I
(05:40):
ask you for your input, and I listened to all
of your input. Some of you were I mean, and
I will tell you it ran the gamut. It ran
the gamut from you know, do absolutely nothing to do
absolutely everything. I've chosen a middle course. And I don't
know what's going to become of that, of course yet,
(06:01):
but h and it's risky and I and I spoke
to I told you that Susan Page of USA Today
had reached out to me about a month or so ago,
and so I decided to reach back out to Susan
Page at USA Today. I think she was shocked to
hear my voice. And I said, I've been avoiding everybody,
(06:24):
and I've decided instead, I want to talk to you.
I don't know, I have no idea what it is
that you'd.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Like to do.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm not even sure what it is that I'd like
to do, but I'd like to start the conversation because
and I said something to the effect that the narratives
have been established and regardless and irrespective of anything that
I write or say, or that a reporter asks me
or anything else, it's just going to solidify the embedded
(06:56):
narratives that certain people have in their minds. And I
am not going to change those, And quite frankly, I
don't give a rats ask anymore about changing those narratives,
because I've written an entire book about what took place,
and people can choose to read that if they want
to and see my point of view about what took place,
and I've i've me I included in that, and in fact,
(07:18):
I think somebody said to me, maybe on the text line,
that one of the things that they found interesting about
the book.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
By the way, the name of the book is Deadly Indifference.
If you want to read.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It, is that being the lawyer that I am. I
attached in the in the index portion. In fact, it
maybe it's near the end of the book, all of
the emails to back up everything that I was talking about.
I didn't want people just take my word. Here, here
are the receipts, as the kids say today, here are
the receipts. So I told Susan that I want to
(07:55):
do something, and so we went through a whole different
you know, scenario, of different ideas of what we could do.
You know, we could do a conversation, we could do
just you know, a straight reporting reporter asking questions. She
even suggested that perhaps she talks to the editorial board
and that I, you know, maybe I do an editorial
about you know, things that have learned, or even just
(08:17):
make it a personal editorial about you know, how it
affected me individually, which kind of intrigued me because I
oftentimes think that those who have embedded narratives in their
mind never stop and think about the individual that is
Michael Brown and what took place and how that affected me,
My family affected you know, my career affected everything. And
(08:39):
so perhaps and editorial to that, you know, that effect
might be kind of kind of interesting. So we we
kind of have it open ended right now and it's
all being discussed. But it still brings me back to C. S.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Lewis.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of
the other world, that they had become so ineffective in
this world. There are people like Dragon and others who
knowingly or unknowingly, wittingly or unwittingly are actually in a
certain way thinking of the other world by the things
(09:17):
that they do in this world. And there is a
there is a group that is, as Alexa pointed out
in that tuk back, that I've known about for I
don't know a couple of years now, maybe i'd have
to go back and figure out when it is. I've
first kind of discovered them, and they're doing good, and
(09:43):
they're being vilified for it, and they're being attacked for it,
and the Denver Post has.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Well before.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I'll let them speak for themselves in just a moment,
through it, through a statement. Let me back up again
for just a moment. On Sunday, I had an appointment
that was down in Colfax, and I decided that on
(10:16):
the way home, I wanted to grab a diet coke.
So I weave mile Way around to Broadway and was
going south on Broadway because there's a MacDonald's at the
corner of Alameda and Broadway, and I thought, oh, that's
a great place. That'll help me avoid part of the
twenty five and the trash and the ditrius and the
(10:39):
garbage and everything on twenty five and I can grab
a diet coke and then get on twenty five near
the Broadway and what it's a Broadway twenty five interchange. Well,
unbeknownst to me, there was some sort of festival going
on on Broadway.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I have no clue what it is, though I don't
care what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
But I found myself stopped at the corner of Broadway
in East First Avenue, and I was sitting there, you know,
behind a couple of cars, and I could see through
the bike lane because you know, the bike lane was
so full of so many bikes, but I was able
to squeeze just a little pinch of us A very
(11:22):
quick sighting of a homeless person on East First Avenue.
So I pulled into the next block and I parked,
and I walked around and I took two photographs, two photographs.
(11:43):
I I didn't touch the individual, but I did try
to ascertain whether or not the person was actually alive
or not, because I was trying to decide whether or
not I needed to call nine one one, And I
ascertained that they appeared to be alive. Skin color everything
in the cave, there's no I couldn't at least observe
(12:05):
any rigor mortis. There wasn't blood that is sent to
the bottom, so I think they were blood still circulating.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So I took a photograph.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I then sent the photograph to an x account that
goes by the moniker of do Better Denver, Do Better
d n the R So if you want to follow
along on X, it's at Do Better d n v
(12:38):
R Do Better Denver. I will tell you up front,
I do not know who is behind this account. I
woke up this morning with a message on X from
(13:00):
someone who I know tangentially because they work for an
organization that I've spoken to before and that I know,
and that if I told you the name of the organization,
you go, oh, well, of course you know those people.
You have Gord blah blah blah. And they left me
a message that said, let me just pull it up.
(13:24):
They left a message that said, where my messages here?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
They are.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Hi, this is blank, and I am the blank. At blank,
I saw your support for Do Better Denver. If you
would like to call them, please do I know they're
looking for support, and she this person gave me the number.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
So at at fourth four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Sometime this morning, I wrote back and said, good morning,
I'll certainly call them today. What prompted all of this
is that yesterday, well, let me back up. I also
had sent Do Better Denver that photograph and said, I
don't care whether you use this or not. You know,
feel free if you want to use it. Whatever they
(14:10):
had not they had not as of at least this morning,
used the photograph, and I doubt that they will now
use the photograph. Since I have now done it, there's
no reason for them to put it up too. But
nowly they may or may not. And quite frankly, I
don't care whether they use it or not. I was
just trying to be helpful because I believe in their mission.
(14:33):
Yesterday I saw that Mandy what does our what does
our truck driver call her?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
The blonde over blonde woman across the hall, the.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Blonde woman across the hall.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So the blonde woman across the hall that goes by
the name of Mandy had posted on the on her
website on KOA that she too had heard what I
had heard, and that was that the Denver Post, the
Denver Compost, and an individual by the name of Shelley Bradbury.
(15:07):
Shelley Bradbury is a reporter for the Denver Post. She
says that she's the criminal investigative reporter for the Denver Post.
She comes to us from I forget Pennsylvania somewhere. She
comes to us from two or three other places before
she arrived in Denver. What I had heard without telling
(15:28):
you the source.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Is that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
The Denver Post was planning to do a hit piece
on do Better Denver because apparently they don't like what
they're doing. They're pointing out and if you've now looked
at the account, you know that what they do is they,
through photographs and other medium including videos, they track the
(15:55):
degradation of society in Denver by capturing and then posting
online the photographs, the videos, whatever they have of different
homeless people, drug addicts, criminals, the dreads of society that
the mayor and the city council and quite frankly, the
(16:16):
Governor of Colorado, Jared Polus, frankly don't give a rats
ass about. As I've said before, homelessness is an industry.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
It is.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
It is absolutely an industry that taxpayers have sunk billions
of dollars across the country trying to solve by giving
money to NGOs and other organizations which have no interest
in solving the problem, because indeed, they survive by the problem.
(16:48):
They survive by the money that they get through these
money laundering schemes. Of you, as a working taxpayer, pay
your state income taxes, your federal income taxes, and then
those moneies get laundered back into an NGO that then
does offer service. Now, some NGOs offer services that do help,
(17:09):
but they don't do anything that solves the problem. So
the Denver Post decided that they were going to do
a hit piece, which infuriates me, absolutely infuriates me. I
texted the trucking last night. It's said, I don't have
(17:32):
a subscription to the Denver Post. I haven't had one
for years, and I don't intend to have one. But
apparently we have access to the Denver Post here. So
I said, would you look in the morning and see
if they actually did post a hit piece. Well, as
of six twenty four this morning, they had not posted
the peace. But nonetheless, I want to shine a big
(17:52):
bright light this morning on do Better Denver and the
Denver Posts, because what Mandy did is Mandy had heard
the same story about the hit piece. He reached out
to Do Better Denver and asked for a statement. I'll
share that statement with you and then my comments next.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Oh my god, I just spit my eggs on my plate.
When Michael said he was going to expose himself.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Oh my god, that's some small breakfast sausage.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Wait a minute, somebody in this audience can afford eggs
and to be able to spit them out.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I'm just sinking they got tight deep breakfast. That's kind
of nice.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And in mere Christianity. C. S. Lewis writes, this hope
is one of the theological virtues. This means that a
continual looking forward to the eternal world is not, as
some modern people think, a form of escapism. We're wishful thinking,
but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.
It does not mean that we are to leave the
(18:52):
present world as it is. If you read history, you
will find that the Christians who did the most for
the present world were just those who thought most of
the next world. The Apostles themselves, who set on foot
the conversion of the Roman Empire, the great men who
built up the Middle Ages, the English evangelicals who abolished
(19:13):
the slave trade, all left their mark on earth precisely
because their minds were preoccupied. Their minds were occupied with heaven.
It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of
the other world that they have become so ineffective in
this world. Aim at Heaven and you will get earth
thrown in. Aim at earth, and you will get neither
(19:39):
do Better Denver. I don't know what their theology is.
I don't know what their religion is. I don't have
anything at all about them other than what I see
them doing to try to affect something here. How many
times have I talked about your sphere of influence doesn't
(20:00):
makeny difference. How whether that's one person a million people,
it doesn't make any difference. You have a sphere of
influence just as they have a sphere of influence, and they're.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Having an effect.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So what prompted all of this kerfuffle? Well, I had heard,
Mandy had heard servilists have heard that they were that
the Denver Post was planning to do a hit piece.
So let me just read for you their statement. This
is do Better Denverse statement in response to Mandy's request
(20:36):
for a statement about the hit piece, which has yet
to appear. Doesn't mean it won't, but it didn't as
we expected. I am do better Denver. Let me just
stop right there. Actually we are all do better Denver.
Several people very cleverly in response to my post and
(20:58):
others said oh hey, hi, I do better Denver. No, no, no,
you can't be. I'm do better Denver. I'm spartacus, I
am spartacus. I am Do Better Denver, and my mission
is to champion transparency, accountability, and positive change in Denver
by amplifying the voices of concerned citizens and exposing issues
(21:20):
that affect our community. It's a damn good mission. Statement
founded in July of twenty three at Do Better Denver
as a platform for Denver residents to share their experiences, evidence,
and concerns about critical issues including government accountability, public safety, crime,
and public drug use. My goal is to raise awareness,
(21:40):
share compelling stories through videos and first hand accounts, and
advocate for solutions that restored Denver to the city we
all once loved. Do Better Denver, they write, was born
from growing unease among residents about the direction of our
city and the lack of open dialogue on pressing til challenges.
(22:01):
Supported by thousands of contributors, Dude Better Denver is a
collective driven by a shared commitment to truth and transparency. Everyday,
citizens submit videos, photos and information to spotlight issues like crime, homelessness,
and government failures. We share these responsibly to foster constructive conversations,
(22:23):
not to target individuals or to incite harm.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
I am alarmed.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
They write that Shelley Bradbury, a reporter with a Denver Post,
plans to publish a story naming at least three private
citizens as do better Denver contributors based on their submissions
and information requests. Naming them risks jeopardizing their personal safety, livelihoods,
(22:52):
and privacy, a move that contradicts journalistic ethics and the
principles of free expression. They continue, instead of investigating the
systemic issues I raise, such as government transparency or public safety,
the Denver Post appears to be doing Mayor Johnston's bidding,
prioritizing the silencing of dissenting voices over the pursuit of truth.
(23:19):
This undermines journalism's role in holding the powerful accountable and
threatens the well being of innocent residents. I urged the
Denver Post in Shelley Bradbury to reconsider this approach and
focus on investigating the substantie issues our community is raised.
I also call on Denver residents and supporters to stand
(23:40):
with us in defending free speech and protecting those who
contribute to My mission infuriates me. It infuriates me so
that resulted in me posting the following Hello at Dennie
Posts and at Shelley Bradbury.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
You're planning on.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Doing a hit piece on people who contribute to at
Do Better Denver. Surely there are plenty of other stories
that merit the attention of your criminal investigative reporter, then
that of citizens who want a better Denver. And you've
surely considered that doxing is illegal in certain cases in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
But I digress. If you're interested in any of us.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Who follow Do Better Denver Well here, I am so
Denver Post and Shelley Bradbury. Here I am I support
Do Better Denver. I have contributed to Do Better Denver,
and I did so in this post. So if you
want to come after somebody, come after me here. I
(24:51):
am forty six ninety five South Monico, Denver, Colorado, eight
zero two three seven. Feel free to text email anytime
you want to know more details about the photo I've posted.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Ask me.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
As I said, If you're interested in any of us
who follow do Better Denver well here I am. I
can't say that I have contributed to them other than
mutually following each other occasionally reposting or messaging in at
a boy for good work that they do in which others,
including the Denver Post, should be doing in the spirit
of the purpose of Do Better Denver. Let me show
(25:35):
you what I observed this past weekend on Broadway, specifically
First Avenue and Broadway on Sunday afternoon. Timeline.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I have to go look at the photo.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'm guessing somewhere around Oh, I don't know, two fifty
three o'clock in the afternoon, maybe just a little later.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yep, suns out, buns out.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yep, suns out, buns out. All right? Does this photo
make me a bad person?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Or is it just another example of thousands around Denver
one could find if if an enterprising newspaper wanted to
actually find the photograph's not copyrighted, feel free to use it,
feel free to share it with at Mike justin Colorado
and the Denver City Council.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Ask them what.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They're doing about all of the documentary evidence that at
Do Better Denver and their contributors have shown the public.
I fully support and endorse the efforts of Do Better
Denver parentheses, which account, by the way, has not asked
for nor requested any response to their statement from me
close prim but you can rest assured that my audience
(26:41):
will know about what you do. That's not a threat,
just telling you what my show prep looks looks like
as of right now.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Had a nice.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Day, so I woke up. I checked the Denver Post timeline.
I check checked Missus Bradbury's timeline. Nothing Dragon check the Post.
Nothing there yet. But here's the other thing that I understand,
and I'm just paraphrasing here, but it's my understanding. The
(27:11):
Denver Post has actually reached out to an employer of
someone who has contributed a photograph to do better at Denver. Well,
my employer's name is my program director's name is Dave Tepper,
and his boss is Jojo Turnbo, and his boss is
Brenda Egger, and you're certainly free to reach out to them.
(27:34):
They work at the same address I do. And by
the way, doxing in this particular case, I'll leave it
up to the lawyers to advise you. I'm not here
giving you advice. Doxing in certain circumstances in Colorado is
a crime. It may or may not be. Certainly, I
(27:58):
don't think it is with respect to me, since I'm
outing myself here, but it could be to other people.
But beyond the legality of doxne. What journalistic standards are
you trying to uphold by outing individuals who are mere
(28:18):
citizens of Denver, who feel disenfranchised, who feel as if
they have no voice, who feel as if their tax
dollars are being abused and misused, who feel that nothing
is being done about the crime, the homelessness, the dereliction
of duty of the Denver City Council and the Mayor
of Denver, Mike Johnston. What do you accomplish other than
(28:44):
intimidation by reporting their names, their employers, or even reaching
out to their bosses. The mere act of reaching out
to their employer without reaching out to them directly, is,
in my opinion, an act of intimidation in and of itself.
(29:10):
You're a newspaper. The reporter is a criminal investigative reporter,
according to her own ex profile. Hello, my name's Sherry Bradbury.
I'm the criminal investigative reporter for the Denver Post. I'd
like to talk to you about some things that you
have posted on x or that you have contributed to
(29:33):
do better Denver. Do you understand that for someone who's
never been in the public eye, who is simply trying
to be a good citizen who is trying to actually
participate in this representative government that we have, that they're
simply trying to do what they can while protecting their
(29:54):
own privacy. Do you understand that at all?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I don't know whether you've decided that you are or
you are not going to post this article. Doesn't make
any difference to me whether you do or not, other
than if you do, I will do whatever I can
to support those that you want.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
To docs or out or however however.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
You want to do it. I would suggest I'm not
a journalist, but I would suggest if you want to
do some journalism, maybe you ought to actually look at
what do Better Denver's account has exposed and ask yourself,
what have we done? What have we, as the Denver
Post done to expose the degradation of this community, of
(30:40):
this city. I've been here, I don't know, thirty some
years or longer, and it's turned into a craphole city,
an absolute crap hole city run by a bunch of
Marxists that are wasting taxpayer dollars on And if you
want to and if you want to know, you're certainly welcome.
(31:01):
All of our podcasts are up their subject matter. You
can do word searches, you can do whatever you want
to do. I talk about this.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
More than I'd ever want to, Michael.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
It reminds me of saying my mom and dad had
when I was a kid. You're so earthly minded, you're
no heavenly good. And I think that's exactly where we're
at right now. We just keep thinking that this is
our home, and in reality it isn't. We all know
we're going to die, and so we need to think
about what can we leave behind that would be even better?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Thanks, you know, you're absolutely right, And I look. I
told Dragons during the break that what really pisses me
off about this entire story is here are you know?
I beg and plead all of you to find some
way to get involved, Like Kathleen who just left the
(31:54):
talk back message, who does the government classes about how
to be involved, specific involvement classes. Well, you could be
on a planning commission, you could be on the zoning board,
you could be on a park board, a library board,
any number of things, and then grow that into something,
you know, even greater you you know, and it doesn't
even have to be that. You mean, you can go
(32:14):
volunteer or you could even do something like what at
Do Better Denver's doing. And it really just pisces me
on irritation that now I don't know what the Denver
Post is ultimately going to do. We're not going to do.
I have no idea, nor do I really care, because
I know that Do Better Denvers on the side of
(32:38):
the angels, and they're doing what I've asked all of
you to do. Carve out a way, a place, time, man,
or whatever it is, in which you can do something
in your sphere of influence to make this world just
a little bit better place. And that's what they're doing.
(33:01):
There is a story that Westward did in February of
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Chris Perez, I think was the reporter.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
We have it posted up, Michael says, go here dot com.
I'd encourage you to go read it, and I want
you to read it because while it's it's fairly it's
it's not a Poodlcher winning prize piece, but it does
give I think, both sides of the story, and of
course the Mayor's office in twenty twenty four denounced at
(33:33):
Do Better Denver as being, you know, a bunch of
whack jobs that are out there posting unverified information, and
you know they can't they can't possibly know what they're
talking about. And then it even cites a group when
I talked about how homelessness is an industry, it cites
the public information officer for the Colorado Coalition for the
(33:55):
Homeless who talks about how degrading these folks are. You know,
it crossed my mind about the photograph that I took,
which you can find on my x timeline. Are you
gonna put that up on the website?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Right?
Speaker 4 (34:10):
You can also find it if Michael says go here.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Okay, you can also find that photo. Michael says, go
here dot com. And after I took the photo, I thought, now,
why am I going to do with this? And the
conclusion I came to is, well, I'm gonna show it.
I'm gonna expose it. There is absolutely zero expectation of
(34:32):
privacy when you're when you got your butt crack showing
and you're drugged out, passed out on a public sidewalk,
there is no expectation of privacy.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
You made that choice, not me,
Give Michael Brown a following on X at Michael Brown USA. Yesterday,
he did a great post to Shelley Bradberry and the
Denver Posts about what they're planning to do with at
do Better Denver and exposing some of the contributors. It's
(00:21):
very thoughtfully written and points out a lot of the issues.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Well, that's very kind of you, and I would encourage
you to go read that post on X and if
you don't, I'll be reading it to you shortly. And
this may seem an odd way to start out that
I do want to talk about do Better Denver, But
I want.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
To back up.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
You know, sometimes we get these issues that are thrown
right in our face and we have this visceral reaction
to it. And part of what I do on this
program is I opened the kimono and just pretty much
exposed myself. Yeah, really trust me. You need a lot
(01:15):
of may locks to overcome that nausea.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
And so the when.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Everything blew up yesterday, actually this for me, this whole
do Better Denver thing started on Sunday and here we
are on Wednesday. And I'll tell you why it started
on Sunday in a minute. But again, I want to
I want to get you in my head before we
get to that particular points.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
As I told you, I've been doing it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You know, I've missed reading a lot, so I've been reading.
I've got you know, I got a pile of books again,
and I'm reading multiple books at the same time again,
which is something I used to do all the time,
and I'm back doing that again.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I got like three or four book's going on and
I and.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
I'm going back over some of my old favorites, The
Power Broker by Robert Carrow. I'm going through some more
of I'm not reading the entire book again, but I'm
going through parts of it that are really good. I'm
doing some more reading on the Revolutionary War. I'm going
back and I'm reading things like C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity,
(02:22):
which you know originally aired in parts over the radio
in England during World War Two before you know he
turned it into into into the short book. There's a
chapter in Mere Christianity on Hope. I mean, that's that's
chapter ten. That's that's the entire title of the chapter, Hope.
(02:46):
And as I as I was reading through it, it
struck me as really important to the cause of freedom
throughout the world. You know, I know I've mentioned it
at least a couple of times this week, that there
is this this really dark blanket of tyranny that is
being draped over the world, and at least in this country,
(03:07):
we are really beginning to push back on that. We
recognize that it's there's a darkness out there, and we
are pushing back on it. Well, his chapter on hope
struck me as pretty important to the cause of worldwide
freedom now, primarily because I share the faith of C. S.
(03:29):
Lewis and because of my own determination to use my
life however I can to make the world a better place.
I don't know that I've done any good whatsoever. It's
not for me. I don't sit and I don't well.
I do contemplate it sometimes, and I oftentimes wonder, particularly
(03:50):
as you get older, have I really done anything worthwhile?
Speaker 3 (03:55):
Have I?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
And it's something that I would encourage you to pause
think about for a moment. Doesn't have to be something big.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
It can be.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Something as simple yet as complicated as raising your children.
I think about Dragon Redbeard, and I think about Dragon's
background and his kids and.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Their mother, which we will not speak too much of
and how.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Dragon has been been able to successfully raise these these
these amazing children. And as much as he and I
go back and forth and make fun of each other,
I admire him for that. I truly admire him for that.
So in my perspective of Dragon, he has accomplished something
great and something incredibly incredibly complicated, and something that could
(04:49):
have gone off the could have gone off the deep end,
but through no fault of his own, just something.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know that one of them just.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Turned into a serial killer, but they didn't. And I
think that has a lot to do with him. In
that chapter, in chapter ten, C. S. Lewis writes, it
is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the
other world that they have become so ineffective in this world.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Let me tell you that again. Let me read that
to you again.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of
the other world that they have become so ineffective in
this In this world, I told you on Monday that
I had been you know, it's the twentieth anniversary of Katrina,
and I'm being inundated with all these requests and I
(05:40):
ask you for your input, and I listened to all
of your input. Some of you were I mean, and
I will tell you it ran the gamut. It ran
the gamut from you know, do absolutely nothing to do
absolutely everything. I've chosen a middle course. And I don't
know what's going to become of that, of course yet,
(06:01):
but h and it's risky and I and I spoke
to I told you that Susan Page of USA Today
had reached out to me about a month or so ago,
and so I decided to reach back out to Susan
Page at USA Today. I think she was shocked to
hear my voice. And I said, I've been avoiding everybody,
(06:24):
and I've decided instead, I want to talk to you.
I don't know, I have no idea what it is
that you'd.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
Like to do.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'm not even sure what it is that I'd like
to do, but I'd like to start the conversation because
and I said something to the effect that the narratives
have been established and regardless and irrespective of anything that
I write or say, or that a reporter asks me
or anything else, it's just going to solidify the embedded
(06:56):
narratives that certain people have in their minds. And I
am not going to change those, And quite frankly, I
don't give a rats ask anymore about changing those narratives,
because I've written an entire book about what took place,
and people can choose to read that if they want
to and see my point of view about what took place,
and I've i've me I included in that, and in fact,
(07:18):
I think somebody said to me, maybe on the text line,
that one of the things that they found interesting about
the book.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
By the way, the name of the book is Deadly Indifference.
If you want to read.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
It, is that being the lawyer that I am. I
attached in the in the index portion. In fact, it
maybe it's near the end of the book, all of
the emails to back up everything that I was talking about.
I didn't want people just take my word. Here, here
are the receipts, as the kids say today, here are
the receipts. So I told Susan that I want to
(07:55):
do something, and so we went through a whole different
you know, scenario, of different ideas of what we could do.
You know, we could do a conversation, we could do
just you know, a straight reporting reporter asking questions. She
even suggested that perhaps she talks to the editorial board
and that I, you know, maybe I do an editorial
about you know, things that have learned, or even just
(08:17):
make it a personal editorial about you know, how it
affected me individually, which kind of intrigued me because I
oftentimes think that those who have embedded narratives in their
mind never stop and think about the individual that is
Michael Brown and what took place and how that affected me,
My family affected you know, my career affected everything. And
(08:39):
so perhaps and editorial to that, you know, that effect
might be kind of kind of interesting. So we we
kind of have it open ended right now and it's
all being discussed. But it still brings me back to C. S.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Lewis.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of
the other world, that they had become so ineffective in
this world. There are people like Dragon and others who
knowingly or unknowingly, wittingly or unwittingly are actually in a
certain way thinking of the other world by the things
(09:17):
that they do in this world. And there is a
there is a group that is, as Alexa pointed out
in that tuk back, that I've known about for I
don't know a couple of years now, maybe i'd have
to go back and figure out when it is. I've
first kind of discovered them, and they're doing good, and
(09:43):
they're being vilified for it, and they're being attacked for it,
and the Denver Post has.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Well before.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
I'll let them speak for themselves in just a moment,
through it, through a statement. Let me back up again
for just a moment. On Sunday, I had an appointment
that was down in Colfax, and I decided that on
(10:16):
the way home, I wanted to grab a diet coke.
So I weave mile Way around to Broadway and was
going south on Broadway because there's a MacDonald's at the
corner of Alameda and Broadway, and I thought, oh, that's
a great place. That'll help me avoid part of the
twenty five and the trash and the ditrius and the
(10:39):
garbage and everything on twenty five and I can grab
a diet coke and then get on twenty five near
the Broadway and what it's a Broadway twenty five interchange. Well,
unbeknownst to me, there was some sort of festival going
on on Broadway.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
I have no clue what it is, though I don't
care what it is.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
But I found myself stopped at the corner of Broadway
in East First Avenue, and I was sitting there, you know,
behind a couple of cars, and I could see through
the bike lane because you know, the bike lane was
so full of so many bikes, but I was able
to squeeze just a little pinch of us A very
(11:22):
quick sighting of a homeless person on East First Avenue.
So I pulled into the next block and I parked,
and I walked around and I took two photographs, two photographs.
(11:43):
I I didn't touch the individual, but I did try
to ascertain whether or not the person was actually alive
or not, because I was trying to decide whether or
not I needed to call nine one one, And I
ascertained that they appeared to be alive. Skin color everything
in the cave, there's no I couldn't at least observe
(12:05):
any rigor mortis. There wasn't blood that is sent to
the bottom, so I think they were blood still circulating.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So I took a photograph.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I then sent the photograph to an x account that
goes by the moniker of do Better Denver, Do Better
d n the R So if you want to follow
along on X, it's at Do Better d n v
(12:38):
R Do Better Denver. I will tell you up front,
I do not know who is behind this account. I
woke up this morning with a message on X from
(13:00):
someone who I know tangentially because they work for an
organization that I've spoken to before and that I know,
and that if I told you the name of the organization,
you go, oh, well, of course you know those people.
You have Gord blah blah blah. And they left me
a message that said, let me just pull it up.
(13:24):
They left a message that said, where my messages here?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
They are.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Hi, this is blank, and I am the blank. At blank,
I saw your support for Do Better Denver. If you
would like to call them, please do I know they're
looking for support, and she this person gave me the number.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
So at at fourth four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Sometime this morning, I wrote back and said, good morning,
I'll certainly call them today. What prompted all of this
is that yesterday, well, let me back up. I also
had sent Do Better Denver that photograph and said, I
don't care whether you use this or not. You know,
feel free if you want to use it. Whatever they
(14:10):
had not they had not as of at least this morning,
used the photograph, and I doubt that they will now
use the photograph. Since I have now done it, there's
no reason for them to put it up too. But
nowly they may or may not. And quite frankly, I
don't care whether they use it or not. I was
just trying to be helpful because I believe in their mission.
(14:33):
Yesterday I saw that Mandy what does our what does
our truck driver call her?
Speaker 4 (14:38):
The blonde over blonde woman across the hall, the.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Blonde woman across the hall.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So the blonde woman across the hall that goes by
the name of Mandy had posted on the on her
website on KOA that she too had heard what I
had heard, and that was that the Denver Post, the
Denver Compost, and an individual by the name of Shelley Bradbury.
(15:07):
Shelley Bradbury is a reporter for the Denver Post. She
says that she's the criminal investigative reporter for the Denver Post.
She comes to us from I forget Pennsylvania somewhere. She
comes to us from two or three other places before
she arrived in Denver. What I had heard without telling
(15:28):
you the source.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Is that.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
The Denver Post was planning to do a hit piece
on do Better Denver because apparently they don't like what
they're doing. They're pointing out and if you've now looked
at the account, you know that what they do is they,
through photographs and other medium including videos, they track the
(15:55):
degradation of society in Denver by capturing and then posting
online the photographs, the videos, whatever they have of different
homeless people, drug addicts, criminals, the dreads of society that
the mayor and the city council and quite frankly, the
(16:16):
Governor of Colorado, Jared Polus, frankly don't give a rats
ass about. As I've said before, homelessness is an industry.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
It is.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
It is absolutely an industry that taxpayers have sunk billions
of dollars across the country trying to solve by giving
money to NGOs and other organizations which have no interest
in solving the problem, because indeed, they survive by the problem.
(16:48):
They survive by the money that they get through these
money laundering schemes. Of you, as a working taxpayer, pay
your state income taxes, your federal income taxes, and then
those moneies get laundered back into an NGO that then
does offer service. Now, some NGOs offer services that do help,
(17:09):
but they don't do anything that solves the problem. So
the Denver Post decided that they were going to do
a hit piece, which infuriates me, absolutely infuriates me. I
texted the trucking last night. It's said, I don't have
(17:32):
a subscription to the Denver Post. I haven't had one
for years, and I don't intend to have one. But
apparently we have access to the Denver Post here. So
I said, would you look in the morning and see
if they actually did post a hit piece. Well, as
of six twenty four this morning, they had not posted
the peace. But nonetheless, I want to shine a big
(17:52):
bright light this morning on do Better Denver and the
Denver Posts, because what Mandy did is Mandy had heard
the same story about the hit piece. He reached out
to Do Better Denver and asked for a statement. I'll
share that statement with you and then my comments next.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Oh my god, I just spit my eggs on my plate.
When Michael said he was going to expose himself.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Oh my god, that's some small breakfast sausage.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
Wait a minute, somebody in this audience can afford eggs
and to be able to spit them out.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
I'm just sinking they got tight deep breakfast. That's kind
of nice.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
And in mere Christianity. C. S. Lewis writes, this hope
is one of the theological virtues. This means that a
continual looking forward to the eternal world is not, as
some modern people think, a form of escapism. We're wishful thinking,
but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.
It does not mean that we are to leave the
(18:52):
present world as it is. If you read history, you
will find that the Christians who did the most for
the present world were just those who thought most of
the next world. The Apostles themselves, who set on foot
the conversion of the Roman Empire, the great men who
built up the Middle Ages, the English evangelicals who abolished
(19:13):
the slave trade, all left their mark on earth precisely
because their minds were preoccupied. Their minds were occupied with heaven.
It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of
the other world that they have become so ineffective in
this world. Aim at Heaven and you will get earth
thrown in. Aim at earth, and you will get neither
(19:39):
do Better Denver. I don't know what their theology is.
I don't know what their religion is. I don't have
anything at all about them other than what I see
them doing to try to affect something here. How many
times have I talked about your sphere of influence doesn't
(20:00):
makeny difference. How whether that's one person a million people,
it doesn't make any difference. You have a sphere of
influence just as they have a sphere of influence, and they're.
Speaker 3 (20:11):
Having an effect.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
So what prompted all of this kerfuffle? Well, I had heard,
Mandy had heard servilists have heard that they were that
the Denver Post was planning to do a hit piece.
So let me just read for you their statement. This
is do Better Denverse statement in response to Mandy's request
(20:36):
for a statement about the hit piece, which has yet
to appear. Doesn't mean it won't, but it didn't as
we expected. I am do better Denver. Let me just
stop right there. Actually we are all do better Denver.
Several people very cleverly in response to my post and
(20:58):
others said oh hey, hi, I do better Denver. No, no, no,
you can't be. I'm do better Denver. I'm spartacus, I
am spartacus. I am Do Better Denver, and my mission
is to champion transparency, accountability, and positive change in Denver
by amplifying the voices of concerned citizens and exposing issues
(21:20):
that affect our community. It's a damn good mission. Statement
founded in July of twenty three at Do Better Denver
as a platform for Denver residents to share their experiences, evidence,
and concerns about critical issues including government accountability, public safety, crime,
and public drug use. My goal is to raise awareness,
(21:40):
share compelling stories through videos and first hand accounts, and
advocate for solutions that restored Denver to the city we
all once loved. Do Better Denver, they write, was born
from growing unease among residents about the direction of our
city and the lack of open dialogue on pressing til challenges.
(22:01):
Supported by thousands of contributors, Dude Better Denver is a
collective driven by a shared commitment to truth and transparency. Everyday,
citizens submit videos, photos and information to spotlight issues like crime, homelessness,
and government failures. We share these responsibly to foster constructive conversations,
(22:23):
not to target individuals or to incite harm.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
I am alarmed.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
They write that Shelley Bradbury, a reporter with a Denver Post,
plans to publish a story naming at least three private
citizens as do better Denver contributors based on their submissions
and information requests. Naming them risks jeopardizing their personal safety, livelihoods,
(22:52):
and privacy, a move that contradicts journalistic ethics and the
principles of free expression. They continue, instead of investigating the
systemic issues I raise, such as government transparency or public safety,
the Denver Post appears to be doing Mayor Johnston's bidding,
prioritizing the silencing of dissenting voices over the pursuit of truth.
(23:19):
This undermines journalism's role in holding the powerful accountable and
threatens the well being of innocent residents. I urged the
Denver Post in Shelley Bradbury to reconsider this approach and
focus on investigating the substantie issues our community is raised.
I also call on Denver residents and supporters to stand
(23:40):
with us in defending free speech and protecting those who
contribute to My mission infuriates me. It infuriates me so
that resulted in me posting the following Hello at Dennie
Posts and at Shelley Bradbury.
Speaker 3 (24:03):
You're planning on.
Speaker 2 (24:03):
Doing a hit piece on people who contribute to at
Do Better Denver. Surely there are plenty of other stories
that merit the attention of your criminal investigative reporter, then
that of citizens who want a better Denver. And you've
surely considered that doxing is illegal in certain cases in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (24:24):
But I digress. If you're interested in any of us.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Who follow Do Better Denver Well here, I am so
Denver Post and Shelley Bradbury. Here I am I support
Do Better Denver. I have contributed to Do Better Denver,
and I did so in this post. So if you
want to come after somebody, come after me here. I
(24:51):
am forty six ninety five South Monico, Denver, Colorado, eight
zero two three seven. Feel free to text email anytime
you want to know more details about the photo I've posted.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Ask me.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
As I said, If you're interested in any of us
who follow do Better Denver well here I am. I
can't say that I have contributed to them other than
mutually following each other occasionally reposting or messaging in at
a boy for good work that they do in which others,
including the Denver Post, should be doing in the spirit
of the purpose of Do Better Denver. Let me show
(25:35):
you what I observed this past weekend on Broadway, specifically
First Avenue and Broadway on Sunday afternoon. Timeline.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
I have to go look at the photo.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
I'm guessing somewhere around Oh, I don't know, two fifty
three o'clock in the afternoon, maybe just a little later.
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yep, suns out, buns out.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Yep, suns out, buns out. All right? Does this photo
make me a bad person?
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Or is it just another example of thousands around Denver
one could find if if an enterprising newspaper wanted to
actually find the photograph's not copyrighted, feel free to use it,
feel free to share it with at Mike justin Colorado
and the Denver City Council.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Ask them what.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
They're doing about all of the documentary evidence that at
Do Better Denver and their contributors have shown the public.
I fully support and endorse the efforts of Do Better
Denver parentheses, which account, by the way, has not asked
for nor requested any response to their statement from me
close prim but you can rest assured that my audience
(26:41):
will know about what you do. That's not a threat,
just telling you what my show prep looks looks like
as of right now.
Speaker 3 (26:49):
Had a nice.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Day, so I woke up. I checked the Denver Post timeline.
I check checked Missus Bradbury's timeline. Nothing Dragon check the Post.
Nothing there yet. But here's the other thing that I understand,
and I'm just paraphrasing here, but it's my understanding. The
(27:11):
Denver Post has actually reached out to an employer of
someone who has contributed a photograph to do better at Denver. Well,
my employer's name is my program director's name is Dave Tepper,
and his boss is Jojo Turnbo, and his boss is
Brenda Egger, and you're certainly free to reach out to them.
(27:34):
They work at the same address I do. And by
the way, doxing in this particular case, I'll leave it
up to the lawyers to advise you. I'm not here
giving you advice. Doxing in certain circumstances in Colorado is
a crime. It may or may not be. Certainly, I
(27:58):
don't think it is with respect to me, since I'm
outing myself here, but it could be to other people.
But beyond the legality of doxne. What journalistic standards are
you trying to uphold by outing individuals who are mere
(28:18):
citizens of Denver, who feel disenfranchised, who feel as if
they have no voice, who feel as if their tax
dollars are being abused and misused, who feel that nothing
is being done about the crime, the homelessness, the dereliction
of duty of the Denver City Council and the Mayor
of Denver, Mike Johnston. What do you accomplish other than
(28:44):
intimidation by reporting their names, their employers, or even reaching
out to their bosses. The mere act of reaching out
to their employer without reaching out to them directly, is,
in my opinion, an act of intimidation in and of itself.
(29:10):
You're a newspaper. The reporter is a criminal investigative reporter,
according to her own ex profile. Hello, my name's Sherry Bradbury.
I'm the criminal investigative reporter for the Denver Post. I'd
like to talk to you about some things that you
have posted on x or that you have contributed to
(29:33):
do better Denver. Do you understand that for someone who's
never been in the public eye, who is simply trying
to be a good citizen who is trying to actually
participate in this representative government that we have, that they're
simply trying to do what they can while protecting their
(29:54):
own privacy. Do you understand that at all?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Now?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I don't know whether you've decided that you are or
you are not going to post this article. Doesn't make
any difference to me whether you do or not, other
than if you do, I will do whatever I can
to support those that you want.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
To docs or out or however however.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
You want to do it. I would suggest I'm not
a journalist, but I would suggest if you want to
do some journalism, maybe you ought to actually look at
what do Better Denver's account has exposed and ask yourself,
what have we done? What have we, as the Denver
Post done to expose the degradation of this community, of
(30:40):
this city. I've been here, I don't know, thirty some
years or longer, and it's turned into a craphole city,
an absolute crap hole city run by a bunch of
Marxists that are wasting taxpayer dollars on And if you
want to and if you want to know, you're certainly welcome.
(31:01):
All of our podcasts are up their subject matter. You
can do word searches, you can do whatever you want
to do. I talk about this.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
More than I'd ever want to, Michael.
Speaker 5 (31:13):
It reminds me of saying my mom and dad had
when I was a kid. You're so earthly minded, you're
no heavenly good. And I think that's exactly where we're
at right now. We just keep thinking that this is
our home, and in reality it isn't. We all know
we're going to die, and so we need to think
about what can we leave behind that would be even better?
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Thanks, you know, you're absolutely right, And I look. I
told Dragons during the break that what really pisses me
off about this entire story is here are you know?
I beg and plead all of you to find some
way to get involved, Like Kathleen who just left the
(31:54):
talk back message, who does the government classes about how
to be involved, specific involvement classes. Well, you could be
on a planning commission, you could be on the zoning board,
you could be on a park board, a library board,
any number of things, and then grow that into something,
you know, even greater you you know, and it doesn't
even have to be that. You mean, you can go
(32:14):
volunteer or you could even do something like what at
Do Better Denver's doing. And it really just pisces me
on irritation that now I don't know what the Denver
Post is ultimately going to do. We're not going to do.
I have no idea, nor do I really care, because
I know that Do Better Denvers on the side of
(32:38):
the angels, and they're doing what I've asked all of
you to do. Carve out a way, a place, time, man,
or whatever it is, in which you can do something
in your sphere of influence to make this world just
a little bit better place. And that's what they're doing.
(33:01):
There is a story that Westward did in February of
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Chris Perez, I think was the reporter.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
We have it posted up, Michael says, go here dot com.
I'd encourage you to go read it, and I want
you to read it because while it's it's fairly it's
it's not a Poodlcher winning prize piece, but it does
give I think, both sides of the story, and of
course the Mayor's office in twenty twenty four denounced at
(33:33):
Do Better Denver as being, you know, a bunch of
whack jobs that are out there posting unverified information, and
you know they can't they can't possibly know what they're
talking about. And then it even cites a group when
I talked about how homelessness is an industry, it cites
the public information officer for the Colorado Coalition for the
(33:55):
Homeless who talks about how degrading these folks are. You know,
it crossed my mind about the photograph that I took,
which you can find on my x timeline. Are you
gonna put that up on the website?
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Right?
Speaker 4 (34:10):
You can also find it if Michael says go here.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Okay, you can also find that photo. Michael says, go
here dot com. And after I took the photo, I thought, now,
why am I going to do with this? And the
conclusion I came to is, well, I'm gonna show it.
I'm gonna expose it. There is absolutely zero expectation of
(34:32):
privacy when you're when you got your butt crack showing
and you're drugged out, passed out on a public sidewalk,
there is no expectation of privacy.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
You made that choice, not me,
