Speaker 1 (00:00):
Michael, you went off the air for a little bit,
and I've told you you have to reach over and
slap Dragon upside the head.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Every now and then to keep them awake.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It's not Dragon, it's the hamster. Everybody knows we have
a hamster that powers the transmitter, and apparently ours had
just died, so it's we're going to have to wait
until the pet shop opens in order to replacement hamster.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Now I understand that the hamster over at KOA had died.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Also just had a mild heart attack. It's back. Oh,
it's back. So they just did it aed on it
and correct. Yeah, and so it's back up and running.
But the stepchild station, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We have to wait till the pet shop opens to
go get a new hamster ours because they were too
busy resuscitating the hamster for KOA. That khow hamster just died,
correct you. Now I'm just curious are we really dead?
Because you told me you had it cranked up to
(00:58):
where if it actually came back on, it would have
burst your ear drums that you could faintly hear us.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Now, I normally keep my audio level right around negative twenty.
I gotta go up to like positive twelve in order
to hear something on k how so you.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Can hear it.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
So we're probably transmitting right, but there's something wrong right
in the levels or something correct. All right, So just
so we're aware of that, Dragons put in a trouble ticket.
So we'll have this fixed in five weeks, give or
take five weeks. Imagine before we had streaming, before we
(01:42):
had digital, we'd just be off the air, yep.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
We'd just be.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Saying I mean, and the funny thing is manage what
would tell you just keep talking because you never know
what you're gonna come back on. So you would just
be talking to yourself sometimes for thirty minutes and while
well somebody exactly well that's because nobody's listening. While somebody
would run out, you know, drive up the mountain to
(02:08):
try to you know, plug it back in. You know,
some bear tripped over the plug and lugged it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Actually we were being funny about tripping over the plug.
But that's happened.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Why do you think I use it as the example
because and the number of times that somebody out here
on the we're all of the I call them servers,
but I don't know what they're actually called along.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
The wall, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Rack wall where people have like the door's been opened
and people have bumped into it and disconnected stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Just amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'm going to get to my reasoning of.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Or my proof, my evidence if you will, of why
the Democrats are tone deaf and don't understand that they're
just digging their hole deeper and deeper, to which I say,
just keep digging up, because you know, when your enemies
digging a hole, just let them keep digging, or whatever
the stupid state saying is. But because we reached the
seven o'clock hour and some of you shlubs out there
(03:24):
are foolishly driving to work today thinking that you're going
to get ahead, that you know you're gonna the money
you earn today is going to be years to keep.
A Yesterday, while I'm perusing the local news channels, and yes,
I saw a proof yesterday that the I forget the
(03:51):
name of the company, they own News Nation that owns Katievr.
That company has bought Tegna, which owns nine News. So
that's gonna be interesting. I assume that I don't know
whether they're gonna keep, they're gonna merge, or they just
bought the company. I just the story. I said, they
just bought the company. So that'll be interesting to see
(04:13):
what they do because they're kind of polar apart when.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
It comes to I don't see a big issue on
that thing. I mean, we've got why don't.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
See a big issue. I just think it's gonna be
interesting how they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, we get along very well with our liberal stations downstairs.
Oh absolutely, yeah, So I mean this, I don't don't
leave you along with I mean that they do their thing,
we do our thing.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, but if they're going to merge, you now have
which I guess under current I think under FCC current
current rules is permissible. But that means they would own,
uh half half of the four major stations. They don't
(05:00):
two of the four major stations in Denver one company.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You put the word major in there, I mean there,
there's still plenty of other Denver, Colorado stations.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, I'm talking about the networks. Networks. Yeah, so you
have a fought NBCNBC and CBS.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
They don't go by the major quote unquote, they just
quote go by the number.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So oh, I agree, I'm talking about networks the networks.
Don't don't argue early in the morning. You'll tell me grumpy,
and then that would be put on my permanent records,
on my permanent record that sometimes I'm grumpy.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Don't argue with you.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I walked in at five forty five and started arguing
with you. Huh, that's the first thing I do every morning.
I try and fight with you.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I know you just came in and just you're just
looking for a fight. It's like, why leave me alone
just to piss you off.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well, I come in pissed off because you're here, and
I know you're here. So yesterday before he so rudely
interrupted me and got me off track, I was looking for,
you know, the story to do for the Michael Brown
minute over on Freedom and I get to speaking of
(06:18):
the television stations. I get to Katie v R's website
and I don't have that in front of me now,
but just and it would have changed since yesterday anyway.
But as I glanced just at the you know, the
landing page. I just glanced and there's there's a story
about a crash. There's a story about I twenty five.
(06:41):
I think it was I twenty five. It doesn't make
a difference. There's a story about one of the interstates
being closed. There's a story about a hit and run. Uh,
there's you know, there's there's been a shooting. There's been
a stabbing there. You know, you heard the news about
some stabbing out at Stanton State Park or something. So
it's it's like the Chicago crime report, but most of
(07:03):
it had to do with traffic accidents. And so I
scrolled down to you know what I call below the fold,
the old newspaper term. So I scrolled down the landing
page to get to the local stories, and there's a
local story about.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
We made the list again.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yes, Aurora ranks in the top five cities for the
worst drivers, particularly road rage drivers, in the entire United States.
So congratulations Aurora. So yesterday we get the trend of
Aragua crime raid at the same time that you have
(07:45):
the worst you're in the top five. I think you
were ranked number four for the worst drivers in the country. Congratulations.
But that's not what really hit me about the story.
Auroral went from sixty fourth in the nation last year
(08:05):
to fourth this year. Now, that's some serious work on
your part to go from the bottom of the heap
to near the top of the heap, and then I
dig in the story because now we know about Colorado.
We were already the fourth worst place to drive, the
(08:27):
worst drivers in the country, number four, But as Colorado
is progressive, we've done better. We're now number three. Aren't
you proud? I have a theory, you know, hang on
what I've got a theory? Right, I've got a theory.
(08:49):
As I drive around Denver. This happened to me yesterday
leaving a studio. Nobody knows how to drive. No body
knows how to drive, So you know, I get onto
the twenty five southbound after I leave here, assuming I'm
not going to a meeting somewhere. I get on the
twenty five southbound at Bellevue and twenty five, and I
(09:14):
swear that ramp has to be probably the true ramp
to where if you don't merge at a particular point,
you're now going to be exiting on Orchard. So it's
got to be at least half a mile long from
where you make the right turn to get onto the
(09:35):
ramp to where you can merge into traffic, so you
have plenty of time to get up to the flow
of traffic to the speed of the flow of traffic
so that you can merge. And I swear too that
there were at least six cars in front of me
that by the time they got to the top of
the ramp where it was time to merge, they were
(09:57):
doing maybe thirty five or forty miles. No, Meanwhile, everybody
else is doing seventy eighty.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
So of course, fortunately I'm in a beamer, so I've
got it in sport mode. So I you know, I'm like, okay,
I got to get old.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I got it. There's my helping boom. I take off. Now.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Do I have internal road rage? Yes, I probably do.
I don't exhibit it. Well, maybe I do exhibit it
because I busted their ass and went right around them,
But good grief, I think it's because And then, of course,
when I'm doing that in that particular part of I
twenty five, you got to make certain that you're just
(10:38):
exactly in a certain part of the lane, because if
you don't, you're going to hit the places where they've
tried to repair the potholes. So it's going to be
kaboom kaboom. So you want to wind, there's road rage, huh.
Drive around Colorado for a while, and then we're in
a deficit. You know, we're in a a almost billion
(11:01):
dollar deficit. And as I told you yesterday, I calculated
that Colorado revenues increased year by year, year over year
over year, except between twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four,
when they did drop, but then they started increasing again
in twenty twenty four. We just we have a spending problem.
(11:25):
And the spending problem is not that it is that
we do spend too much money, and then on top
of that, we spend money on all the wrong things,
which gets me too. An example of why I think
this New York Times article is I think what the
New York Times article is. It's factually correct, but it's
(11:48):
a warning. It's a warning shot across the bow to
get Democrats to wake the f up, because do you
think their gleefully report this. No, they're trying to shake
up the Democrat leadership, the Democrat fundraisers, the Democrat munkety MUCKs.
(12:09):
That guys, you got a problem and you're not doing
anything to fix it. Well, let me tell you, the
New York Times article is falling on deaf ears you,
Honor may I introduced into evidence Exhibit A. The Governor
of Illinois, JB. Pritzker, a Democrat, the heir to the
(12:34):
Hyatt fortune that the family that owns.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Eye At hotels. Obviously he wants to be president.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He and Gavin Newsom, among others diff debt, are all
running on the Democrat side. He signed into bill. He
signed a bill into law opening financial aid to all all.
(13:02):
I'm trying to think of the right word to use,
not citizens. Maybe let's use the word residents to everybody
residing in Illinois, regardless of your immigration status. So this
bill will allow illegal immigrants, illegal aliens that are in
(13:23):
Illinois to get Illinois taxpayer money in addition to probably
federal taxpayer money. Unless Pam Bondi and Secretary Descent and
Donald Trump were able to really cut off the flow
of all money to sanctuary cities. That means that you
and I'll be paying for part of this in indirectly also,
(13:45):
so they'll get monetary benefits for education. And he said
I tried to find him a sound bite of him
saying this, but I couldn't find it. But he says
this in the story that I found a student who
is an Illinois resident and who is not otherwise eligible
for federal financial aid, including but not limited to, a
(14:07):
transgender student who has disqualified for failure to register for
selecting service, or a non citizen student who has not
obtained lawful permanent residence shall be eligible for financial aid
and benefits. Come to the country illegally, move to Illinois,
(14:31):
get a free education at taxpayer benefits at taxpaar cost.
A state cenatored by the name of Selina, Illinois villain
Villanueva Democrat Duh says that this is quote about making
sure no student is left behind. Oh, no child left behind.
(14:55):
Is about making sure no student is left behind because
of where they were born. Now, if you take that
to its logical conclusion, then if you're a student anywhere
in the world and you want to attend the University
of Chicago, you want to attend Illinois State University, you
(15:15):
want to attend Loyola just well it's a private school,
but wasn't I guess it doesn't make any difference. Just
make your way to you know, make your way to O'Hare.
Get off the plane. I'm sure there's free transportation somewhere.
Somebody will reimburse you or pay you for it or whatever,
(15:37):
find find a free place to live, and then get
a free education. A congressman from Illinois, Mary Miller, Republican,
she opposes the bill allowing taxpayer funded financial aid for
illegal aliens is a slap in the face the hard
working Illinois families and students. Our state is drowning in debt,
(15:59):
yet ab Pritzker is determined to drain even more taxpayer
dollars to reward illegals. So under this law, all students
residing in Illinois are eligible for financial aid programs that
are funded or administered by the state or local governments
or by public universities. This is how tone deaf and
(16:26):
blinded that Democrats are, and I think this is why
they're losing registration. You don't have to be a partisan
to understand that this is just ethically, morally, and quite frankly,
in my opinion, legally wrong. We're going to pay illegal
aliens to get an education in Illinois, and then you
(16:49):
wonder why. Oh, I've already closed out that story, but
I'm fairly certain if I go back to that story
that chart Illinois would be one of those states that
is losing Democrats voters. Well, shazam. I wonder why that's happening.
This is why I say, just keep doing it, just
(17:10):
keep doing it. In fact, I'm about to the stage
where I'm less support them doing. Not that it makes
any difference what I have to say because j D.
Pritsker doesn't don't meet well, he probably does, but way
to go, JB. Keep digging that hole.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Just people, Mike, I thought you guys already went through this.
I thought you guys got a breeding pair of hamsters,
so you'd have an endless supply of hamsters.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
What happened, Yeah, but they and they both identified as male. Well,
and yeah, we have to respect that.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
We do.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
And then and they're still over there and they're they're
living happily ever after. They're having a fabulous day. Their
house is very well decor it's one of the best
looking hamster cages. I've ever seen in my entire life.
It is fabulous. And they're really worn out from you know,
(18:15):
the month of June. They were just there's exhausted from
all the celebrations. So they just don't have time to
even attempt to reap. You get a whole month, so
they got a whole month or celebratory. You see why
you're so tired.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
So Trump issued an executive order d bank, banning the
d banking of individuals or organizations. And as I kind
of dug through that, there are a lot of top
banking executives that are alleging now that it's funny how
you know, eventually the truth does come out, right, that
(18:50):
both Barack Obama and Joe Biden put pressure on these
financial institutions to cut off services to both in industries
and businesses based on the political ideological viewpoint of those
individuals or those businesses. De banking the practice of closing
(19:11):
bank accounts or denying services like you know, you can't
use your master card or your American Express or your
visa or whatever, you know, to buy a gun or
or you know, to go to a particular store, or
or we're just going to close your account, often done
without explanation.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
They were kind of like you know, civil asset forward
to just just do it now.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Although linked initially to anti money laundering regulations because see
this is how you do it. You come up with
a legitimate purpose. You know, we want to stop money laundering,
unless of course it's NGOs. But that's a different story.
And then you start using that regulation because it is
a regulation. Congressman pass the laws are regulation. It is
(19:57):
now being weaponized for political discrimination. Two anonymous executives from
major US banks said that regulators exploited vague federal REGs
to push banks to deny the services. Operation choke Point
launched under Obama to target fraud prone industries, that started
(20:21):
the groundwork, and that pressure, they say, these anonymous sources
say continued under Biden. One of the senior executives said
this quote, those pressures were very very real. When your regulator.
This is such an insight into the administrative state. This
(20:42):
is Soviet style of tactics. Those quote, those pressures were
very very real. When your regulator gives you a suggestion,
it's not a suggestion, it's an order. This political stuff
is very real. Pressures are very very real. So Trump
(21:03):
issued the executive order prohibiting banks from denying services based
on somebody's political or some organizations political beliefs. It directs
federal agencies that they must investigate these claims of politically
motivated debanking. That's actually having an impact. Just a footnote here.
(21:29):
I think one of the reasons there is such this.
Let's take crime footnote. Take crime for example. Trump's doing
what he can to set an example, and the best
place to sett an example about how to reduce crime
(21:51):
is increase police presence. So he takes the one place
where he can legitimately do that by deploying the National
Guard into the district of Columbia. He has the absolute, unequivocal,
unassailable legal right to do so, so he does it.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
That is a that is an example.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
That is a signal showing too, governors, mayors, city councils,
county commissioners, everybody that look, increased policing has an effect.
Just the presence reduces crime. Or let's see that that
that's a good example, or just just the whole example
(22:40):
about the border and sanctuary cities. I'm going to cut
off funding. Oh, I'm going to just enforce existing laws.
And what do we have now? We have essentially it's
not because I don't think it ever will be one
hundred percent, but we have a you know, ninety nine
(23:00):
percent secure southern border. In response to both of those issues,
what do Democrats do.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Well?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Or take Ukraine? That's another good example. So now he
is working toward peace, something that Biden made zero attempt
to do. Remember, Biden's strategy just will just give you
whatever you need, whatever it takes. That's not a strategy,
that's just well, here's that's just saying to your teenage kid,
(23:31):
here's a credit card. In all of those instances, crime, Ukraine,
or the border, what has been the Democrats response? Those
are all issues in which I would say, those aren't
eighty twenty issues. Those are like ninety nine to one issues.
(23:54):
People want to reduce crime. They want to feel safe
in their communities, their homes, their cities, their places of business.
Nobody wants to feel unsafe. Democrats response, Oh, it's wrong,
you can't do that. It's not really reducing crime. It's
like they come out and they're for crime or the border.
(24:16):
I even have to explain that one they are for
an open border, they want the invasion or then you
go to Ukraine. No matter what Trump does, it's wrong.
So but he's doing something and you're opposed to it.
That's the Democrats reaction. And the same is true here
(24:37):
with this whole point about all these JP Morgan Chase.
They've already updated their internal policies claiming that they have
not now whether that's true or not, I question, but
that they will not close accounts based on political affiliation,
but they JP morgan Chase also says that regulators continue
(25:04):
to pressure them to flag suspicious activities, which could potentially
result in indirect dbanking. But nonetheless, JP morgan Chase is saying,
in terms of our policies, we're taking the action because
we don't believe that we should dbank people on their
political beliefs, their First Amendment rights to begin with. The
(25:27):
deep state, the administrative state, however, continues to push against that.
The point I want to make, I guess the point
I'm trying to make is are Democrats really that stupid?
I guess the answer is yes, because the only conclusion
I can make is they are for open borders, which
(25:48):
I think is pretty well established. They're for crime because
they oppose anything that has to do with policing or
an increased law enforcement presence.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Even though this happens to be the National Guard.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
That might be a little, you know, a subtle difference,
but nonetheless it's policing trying to reduce crime. Apparently Democrats
are against reducing crime. They're apparently against peace in Ukraine
and between Ukraine and Russia. They I guess they just
went the killing to continue. They they just want to
Maybe it's the military industrial complex and they just wanted
(26:23):
to finally blow up and for to really turn into
World War three because they can make money off it.
Democrats are freaking insane, absolutely insane. You know, you think
back to Trump, his own business became the subject of
a high profile de banking case. Remember that in March
(26:45):
they sued Capital One because they were alleging Trump's organ
the Trump Organization was alleging that more than three hundred
business accounts were closed back in twenty twenty one because
of unsubstantiated woke believes in the lawsuit alleged the bank
believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing
(27:05):
so well. Trump's team is alleging that the closures caused
considerable financial harm. They're they're proving their damages. And it's
not just in this country. This kind of stuff goes
on overseas too. The bank has been used internationally. Nigelle Faraj,
the Reform Party leader in the United Kingdom. He was
debanked because his views were not compatible with the bank's values.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Not compatible with a bank's value. What's the bank's value.
I think a bank's value is bring as many customers
customers as you can get, as many deposits, savings accounts, CDs,
whatever you can, so you can make loans and make business,
so you can return a value and a profit to
your share a divoten into your shareholders. Apparently Democrats are
(27:52):
against that too. Are you saying that atlask should shrug
at this point?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Perhaps?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
But remember them from Atlas Shrug, Colorado is worth saving it.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I really do.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I vacillate between letting Atlas shrug and trying to save it.
I think let's just thing through tree. Look the Democrat Party.
My point about Fox News is they're actually giving them
very sage and sound advice about how to save themselves.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I want the Democrat Party to implode. They might as
well go ahead and admit they're on the road to Marxism.
They're they're they're all a freeway to Marxism. Go ahead
and go because I think these New York Times numbers
point out that we are the majority of Americans are rejecting.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That we there.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I guess there's still enough boomers and millennials and gen
Xers that understand just how dangerous socialism, Marxism, communism, all
the isms are that we don't want that. We want
free markets, individual liberty, individual freedom. And we see the
Democrats going in exactly the opposite direction. And I think
there's something even more insidious than just the whole political philosophy.
(29:19):
I think there's also the idea that e pluribus unum,
that out of many come one US Americans. So when
you have Zoefram Donnie in New York, a guy that's
never done anything in his life except live off mommy
and daddy, now wants to be the mayor of New York,
(29:41):
wants almost everything that Omar Fatal wants in Minneapolis, which
is just free everything, get rid of the cops, get
rid of prisons, crime, just run rampant. I mean they are.
They are the quintessential Marxists that want to create the
chaos that they I think will leave the elite only
(30:01):
to the revolution. And you know, they wanted to be
some sort of mousey doing revolution so that they can
inflict upon unwinning citizens their political philosophy. So I say
let them go do that. Denver. I don't know that
(30:22):
Denver can be saved. I think Colorado can.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Because when you.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Look at the geography and you look at the rural
urban divide, and you even look at the divide within
the front range, the political divide there. I had a
discussion with a friend the other day about Douglas County
and how Douglas County worries me because it has and
in fact, this friend of mine said that he knows
(30:51):
personally of hardcore liberals who during COVID decided to move
out of downtown Denver, to get out of the city
and county in Denver. And where did they go. They
went to Douglas County. So that's the equivalent of Californians
(31:12):
moving to Colorado. It's also happening internally. People are getting
sick of what's happening there and so then they go
to Douglas County or maybe al Paso County. Look at
the mayor of El Paso County, I mean the mayor
of Colorado Springs. So it's beginning to change also, but
I think it can be reversed. I just know that
(31:33):
Denver can be real quickly before well, and I really
don't have time. I don't have time at all. I
was going to talk about the Metropolitan Police Department and
how you know Denver PD was puttson around with the numbers. Well,
it turns out that the Metropolitan Police Department has been
manipulating crime data so they can present a lower crime
(31:54):
rate in DC, which leads me to the conclusion believing
anything you read until you get to the second, third, fourth,
or even fifth level of finding original source documents and
then even questioning those and then doing an ab test
(32:17):
against different even the
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Original source documents, you never know what to believe.
Michael, you went off the air for a little bit,
and I've told you you have to reach over and
slap Dragon upside the head.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Every now and then to keep them awake.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It's not Dragon, it's the hamster. Everybody knows we have
a hamster that powers the transmitter, and apparently ours had
just died, so it's we're going to have to wait
until the pet shop opens in order to replacement hamster.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Now I understand that the hamster over at KOA had died.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Also just had a mild heart attack. It's back. Oh,
it's back. So they just did it aed on it
and correct. Yeah, and so it's back up and running.
But the stepchild station, yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
We have to wait till the pet shop opens to
go get a new hamster ours because they were too
busy resuscitating the hamster for KOA. That khow hamster just died,
correct you. Now I'm just curious are we really dead?
Because you told me you had it cranked up to
(00:58):
where if it actually came back on, it would have
burst your ear drums that you could faintly hear us.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Now, I normally keep my audio level right around negative twenty.
I gotta go up to like positive twelve in order
to hear something on k how so you.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Can hear it.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
So we're probably transmitting right, but there's something wrong right
in the levels or something correct. All right, So just
so we're aware of that, Dragons put in a trouble ticket.
So we'll have this fixed in five weeks, give or
take five weeks. Imagine before we had streaming, before we
(01:42):
had digital, we'd just be off the air, yep.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
We'd just be.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Saying I mean, and the funny thing is manage what
would tell you just keep talking because you never know
what you're gonna come back on. So you would just
be talking to yourself sometimes for thirty minutes and while
well somebody exactly well that's because nobody's listening. While somebody
would run out, you know, drive up the mountain to
(02:08):
try to you know, plug it back in. You know,
some bear tripped over the plug and lugged it.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Actually we were being funny about tripping over the plug.
But that's happened.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Why do you think I use it as the example
because and the number of times that somebody out here
on the we're all of the I call them servers,
but I don't know what they're actually called along.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
The wall, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Rack wall where people have like the door's been opened
and people have bumped into it and disconnected stuff.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Just amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
I'm going to get to my reasoning of.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Or my proof, my evidence if you will, of why
the Democrats are tone deaf and don't understand that they're
just digging their hole deeper and deeper, to which I say,
just keep digging up, because you know, when your enemies
digging a hole, just let them keep digging, or whatever
the stupid state saying is. But because we reached the
seven o'clock hour and some of you shlubs out there
(03:24):
are foolishly driving to work today thinking that you're going
to get ahead, that you know you're gonna the money
you earn today is going to be years to keep.
A Yesterday, while I'm perusing the local news channels, and yes,
I saw a proof yesterday that the I forget the
(03:51):
name of the company, they own News Nation that owns Katievr.
That company has bought Tegna, which owns nine News. So
that's gonna be interesting. I assume that I don't know
whether they're gonna keep, they're gonna merge, or they just
bought the company. I just the story. I said, they
just bought the company. So that'll be interesting to see
(04:13):
what they do because they're kind of polar apart when.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
It comes to I don't see a big issue on
that thing. I mean, we've got why don't.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
See a big issue. I just think it's gonna be
interesting how they're gonna.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, we get along very well with our liberal stations downstairs.
Oh absolutely, yeah, So I mean this, I don't don't
leave you along with I mean that they do their thing,
we do our thing.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Yeah, but if they're going to merge, you now have
which I guess under current I think under FCC current
current rules is permissible. But that means they would own,
uh half half of the four major stations. They don't
(05:00):
two of the four major stations in Denver one company.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You put the word major in there, I mean there,
there's still plenty of other Denver, Colorado stations.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
No, I'm talking about the networks. Networks. Yeah, so you
have a fought NBCNBC and CBS.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
They don't go by the major quote unquote, they just
quote go by the number.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
So oh, I agree, I'm talking about networks the networks.
Don't don't argue early in the morning. You'll tell me grumpy,
and then that would be put on my permanent records,
on my permanent record that sometimes I'm grumpy.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Don't argue with you.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I walked in at five forty five and started arguing
with you. Huh, that's the first thing I do every morning.
I try and fight with you.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I know you just came in and just you're just
looking for a fight. It's like, why leave me alone
just to piss you off.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Well, I come in pissed off because you're here, and
I know you're here. So yesterday before he so rudely
interrupted me and got me off track, I was looking for,
you know, the story to do for the Michael Brown
minute over on Freedom and I get to speaking of
(06:18):
the television stations. I get to Katie v R's website
and I don't have that in front of me now,
but just and it would have changed since yesterday anyway.
But as I glanced just at the you know, the
landing page. I just glanced and there's there's a story
about a crash. There's a story about I twenty five.
(06:41):
I think it was I twenty five. It doesn't make
a difference. There's a story about one of the interstates
being closed. There's a story about a hit and run. Uh,
there's you know, there's there's been a shooting. There's been
a stabbing there. You know, you heard the news about
some stabbing out at Stanton State Park or something. So
it's it's like the Chicago crime report, but most of
(07:03):
it had to do with traffic accidents. And so I
scrolled down to you know what I call below the fold,
the old newspaper term. So I scrolled down the landing
page to get to the local stories, and there's a
local story about.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
We made the list again.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Yes, Aurora ranks in the top five cities for the
worst drivers, particularly road rage drivers, in the entire United States.
So congratulations Aurora. So yesterday we get the trend of
Aragua crime raid at the same time that you have
(07:45):
the worst you're in the top five. I think you
were ranked number four for the worst drivers in the country. Congratulations.
But that's not what really hit me about the story.
Auroral went from sixty fourth in the nation last year
(08:05):
to fourth this year. Now, that's some serious work on
your part to go from the bottom of the heap
to near the top of the heap, and then I
dig in the story because now we know about Colorado.
We were already the fourth worst place to drive, the
(08:27):
worst drivers in the country, number four, But as Colorado
is progressive, we've done better. We're now number three. Aren't
you proud? I have a theory, you know, hang on
what I've got a theory? Right, I've got a theory.
(08:49):
As I drive around Denver. This happened to me yesterday
leaving a studio. Nobody knows how to drive. No body
knows how to drive, So you know, I get onto
the twenty five southbound after I leave here, assuming I'm
not going to a meeting somewhere. I get on the
twenty five southbound at Bellevue and twenty five, and I
(09:14):
swear that ramp has to be probably the true ramp
to where if you don't merge at a particular point,
you're now going to be exiting on Orchard. So it's
got to be at least half a mile long from
where you make the right turn to get onto the
(09:35):
ramp to where you can merge into traffic, so you
have plenty of time to get up to the flow
of traffic to the speed of the flow of traffic
so that you can merge. And I swear too that
there were at least six cars in front of me
that by the time they got to the top of
the ramp where it was time to merge, they were
(09:57):
doing maybe thirty five or forty miles. No, Meanwhile, everybody
else is doing seventy eighty.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Miles an hour.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
So of course, fortunately I'm in a beamer, so I've
got it in sport mode. So I you know, I'm like, okay,
I got to get old.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
I got it. There's my helping boom. I take off. Now.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Do I have internal road rage? Yes, I probably do.
I don't exhibit it. Well, maybe I do exhibit it
because I busted their ass and went right around them,
But good grief, I think it's because And then, of course,
when I'm doing that in that particular part of I
twenty five, you got to make certain that you're just
(10:38):
exactly in a certain part of the lane, because if
you don't, you're going to hit the places where they've
tried to repair the potholes. So it's going to be
kaboom kaboom. So you want to wind, there's road rage, huh.
Drive around Colorado for a while, and then we're in
a deficit. You know, we're in a a almost billion
(11:01):
dollar deficit. And as I told you yesterday, I calculated
that Colorado revenues increased year by year, year over year
over year, except between twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four,
when they did drop, but then they started increasing again
in twenty twenty four. We just we have a spending problem.
(11:25):
And the spending problem is not that it is that
we do spend too much money, and then on top
of that, we spend money on all the wrong things,
which gets me too. An example of why I think
this New York Times article is I think what the
New York Times article is. It's factually correct, but it's
(11:48):
a warning. It's a warning shot across the bow to
get Democrats to wake the f up, because do you
think their gleefully report this. No, they're trying to shake
up the Democrat leadership, the Democrat fundraisers, the Democrat munkety MUCKs.
(12:09):
That guys, you got a problem and you're not doing
anything to fix it. Well, let me tell you, the
New York Times article is falling on deaf ears you,
Honor may I introduced into evidence Exhibit A. The Governor
of Illinois, JB. Pritzker, a Democrat, the heir to the
(12:34):
Hyatt fortune that the family that owns.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Eye At hotels. Obviously he wants to be president.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
He and Gavin Newsom, among others diff debt, are all
running on the Democrat side. He signed into bill. He
signed a bill into law opening financial aid to all all.
(13:02):
I'm trying to think of the right word to use,
not citizens. Maybe let's use the word residents to everybody
residing in Illinois, regardless of your immigration status. So this
bill will allow illegal immigrants, illegal aliens that are in
(13:23):
Illinois to get Illinois taxpayer money in addition to probably
federal taxpayer money. Unless Pam Bondi and Secretary Descent and
Donald Trump were able to really cut off the flow
of all money to sanctuary cities. That means that you
and I'll be paying for part of this in indirectly also,
(13:45):
so they'll get monetary benefits for education. And he said
I tried to find him a sound bite of him
saying this, but I couldn't find it. But he says
this in the story that I found a student who
is an Illinois resident and who is not otherwise eligible
for federal financial aid, including but not limited to, a
(14:07):
transgender student who has disqualified for failure to register for
selecting service, or a non citizen student who has not
obtained lawful permanent residence shall be eligible for financial aid
and benefits. Come to the country illegally, move to Illinois,
(14:31):
get a free education at taxpayer benefits at taxpaar cost.
A state cenatored by the name of Selina, Illinois villain
Villanueva Democrat Duh says that this is quote about making
sure no student is left behind. Oh, no child left behind.
(14:55):
Is about making sure no student is left behind because
of where they were born. Now, if you take that
to its logical conclusion, then if you're a student anywhere
in the world and you want to attend the University
of Chicago, you want to attend Illinois State University, you
(15:15):
want to attend Loyola just well it's a private school,
but wasn't I guess it doesn't make any difference. Just
make your way to you know, make your way to O'Hare.
Get off the plane. I'm sure there's free transportation somewhere.
Somebody will reimburse you or pay you for it or whatever,
(15:37):
find find a free place to live, and then get
a free education. A congressman from Illinois, Mary Miller, Republican,
she opposes the bill allowing taxpayer funded financial aid for
illegal aliens is a slap in the face the hard
working Illinois families and students. Our state is drowning in debt,
(15:59):
yet ab Pritzker is determined to drain even more taxpayer
dollars to reward illegals. So under this law, all students
residing in Illinois are eligible for financial aid programs that
are funded or administered by the state or local governments
or by public universities. This is how tone deaf and
(16:26):
blinded that Democrats are, and I think this is why
they're losing registration. You don't have to be a partisan
to understand that this is just ethically, morally, and quite frankly,
in my opinion, legally wrong. We're going to pay illegal
aliens to get an education in Illinois, and then you
(16:49):
wonder why. Oh, I've already closed out that story, but
I'm fairly certain if I go back to that story
that chart Illinois would be one of those states that
is losing Democrats voters. Well, shazam. I wonder why that's happening.
This is why I say, just keep doing it, just
(17:10):
keep doing it. In fact, I'm about to the stage
where I'm less support them doing. Not that it makes
any difference what I have to say because j D.
Pritsker doesn't don't meet well, he probably does, but way
to go, JB. Keep digging that hole.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
Just people, Mike, I thought you guys already went through this.
I thought you guys got a breeding pair of hamsters,
so you'd have an endless supply of hamsters.
Speaker 1 (17:40):
What happened, Yeah, but they and they both identified as male. Well,
and yeah, we have to respect that.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
We do.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
And then and they're still over there and they're they're
living happily ever after. They're having a fabulous day. Their
house is very well decor it's one of the best
looking hamster cages. I've ever seen in my entire life.
It is fabulous. And they're really worn out from you know,
(18:15):
the month of June. They were just there's exhausted from
all the celebrations. So they just don't have time to
even attempt to reap. You get a whole month, so
they got a whole month or celebratory. You see why
you're so tired.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
So Trump issued an executive order d bank, banning the
d banking of individuals or organizations. And as I kind
of dug through that, there are a lot of top
banking executives that are alleging now that it's funny how
you know, eventually the truth does come out, right, that
(18:50):
both Barack Obama and Joe Biden put pressure on these
financial institutions to cut off services to both in industries
and businesses based on the political ideological viewpoint of those
individuals or those businesses. De banking the practice of closing
(19:11):
bank accounts or denying services like you know, you can't
use your master card or your American Express or your
visa or whatever, you know, to buy a gun or
or you know, to go to a particular store, or
or we're just going to close your account, often done
without explanation.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
They were kind of like you know, civil asset forward
to just just do it now.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Although linked initially to anti money laundering regulations because see
this is how you do it. You come up with
a legitimate purpose. You know, we want to stop money laundering,
unless of course it's NGOs. But that's a different story.
And then you start using that regulation because it is
a regulation. Congressman pass the laws are regulation. It is
(19:57):
now being weaponized for political discrimination. Two anonymous executives from
major US banks said that regulators exploited vague federal REGs
to push banks to deny the services. Operation choke Point
launched under Obama to target fraud prone industries, that started
(20:21):
the groundwork, and that pressure, they say, these anonymous sources
say continued under Biden. One of the senior executives said
this quote, those pressures were very very real. When your regulator.
This is such an insight into the administrative state. This
(20:42):
is Soviet style of tactics. Those quote, those pressures were
very very real. When your regulator gives you a suggestion,
it's not a suggestion, it's an order. This political stuff
is very real. Pressures are very very real. So Trump
(21:03):
issued the executive order prohibiting banks from denying services based
on somebody's political or some organizations political beliefs. It directs
federal agencies that they must investigate these claims of politically
motivated debanking. That's actually having an impact. Just a footnote here.
(21:29):
I think one of the reasons there is such this.
Let's take crime footnote. Take crime for example. Trump's doing
what he can to set an example, and the best
place to sett an example about how to reduce crime
(21:51):
is increase police presence. So he takes the one place
where he can legitimately do that by deploying the National
Guard into the district of Columbia. He has the absolute, unequivocal,
unassailable legal right to do so, so he does it.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
That is a that is an example.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
That is a signal showing too, governors, mayors, city councils,
county commissioners, everybody that look, increased policing has an effect.
Just the presence reduces crime. Or let's see that that
that's a good example, or just just the whole example
(22:40):
about the border and sanctuary cities. I'm going to cut
off funding. Oh, I'm going to just enforce existing laws.
And what do we have now? We have essentially it's
not because I don't think it ever will be one
hundred percent, but we have a you know, ninety nine
(23:00):
percent secure southern border. In response to both of those issues,
what do Democrats do.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
Well?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
Or take Ukraine? That's another good example. So now he
is working toward peace, something that Biden made zero attempt
to do. Remember, Biden's strategy just will just give you
whatever you need, whatever it takes. That's not a strategy,
that's just well, here's that's just saying to your teenage kid,
(23:31):
here's a credit card. In all of those instances, crime, Ukraine,
or the border, what has been the Democrats response? Those
are all issues in which I would say, those aren't
eighty twenty issues. Those are like ninety nine to one issues.
(23:54):
People want to reduce crime. They want to feel safe
in their communities, their homes, their cities, their places of business.
Nobody wants to feel unsafe. Democrats response, Oh, it's wrong,
you can't do that. It's not really reducing crime. It's
like they come out and they're for crime or the border.
(24:16):
I even have to explain that one they are for
an open border, they want the invasion or then you
go to Ukraine. No matter what Trump does, it's wrong.
So but he's doing something and you're opposed to it.
That's the Democrats reaction. And the same is true here
(24:37):
with this whole point about all these JP Morgan Chase.
They've already updated their internal policies claiming that they have
not now whether that's true or not, I question, but
that they will not close accounts based on political affiliation,
but they JP morgan Chase also says that regulators continue
(25:04):
to pressure them to flag suspicious activities, which could potentially
result in indirect dbanking. But nonetheless, JP morgan Chase is saying,
in terms of our policies, we're taking the action because
we don't believe that we should dbank people on their
political beliefs, their First Amendment rights to begin with. The
(25:27):
deep state, the administrative state, however, continues to push against that.
The point I want to make, I guess the point
I'm trying to make is are Democrats really that stupid?
I guess the answer is yes, because the only conclusion
I can make is they are for open borders, which
(25:48):
I think is pretty well established. They're for crime because
they oppose anything that has to do with policing or
an increased law enforcement presence.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
Even though this happens to be the National Guard.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
That might be a little, you know, a subtle difference,
but nonetheless it's policing trying to reduce crime. Apparently Democrats
are against reducing crime. They're apparently against peace in Ukraine
and between Ukraine and Russia. They I guess they just
went the killing to continue. They they just want to
Maybe it's the military industrial complex and they just wanted
(26:23):
to finally blow up and for to really turn into
World War three because they can make money off it.
Democrats are freaking insane, absolutely insane. You know, you think
back to Trump, his own business became the subject of
a high profile de banking case. Remember that in March
(26:45):
they sued Capital One because they were alleging Trump's organ
the Trump Organization was alleging that more than three hundred
business accounts were closed back in twenty twenty one because
of unsubstantiated woke believes in the lawsuit alleged the bank
believed that the political tide at the moment favored doing
(27:05):
so well. Trump's team is alleging that the closures caused
considerable financial harm. They're they're proving their damages. And it's
not just in this country. This kind of stuff goes
on overseas too. The bank has been used internationally. Nigelle Faraj,
the Reform Party leader in the United Kingdom. He was
debanked because his views were not compatible with the bank's values.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Not compatible with a bank's value. What's the bank's value.
I think a bank's value is bring as many customers
customers as you can get, as many deposits, savings accounts, CDs,
whatever you can, so you can make loans and make business,
so you can return a value and a profit to
your share a divoten into your shareholders. Apparently Democrats are
(27:52):
against that too. Are you saying that atlask should shrug
at this point?
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Perhaps?
Speaker 3 (27:59):
But remember them from Atlas Shrug, Colorado is worth saving it.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
I really do.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I vacillate between letting Atlas shrug and trying to save it.
I think let's just thing through tree. Look the Democrat Party.
My point about Fox News is they're actually giving them
very sage and sound advice about how to save themselves.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Stop it.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
I want the Democrat Party to implode. They might as
well go ahead and admit they're on the road to Marxism.
They're they're they're all a freeway to Marxism. Go ahead
and go because I think these New York Times numbers
point out that we are the majority of Americans are rejecting.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
That we there.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
I guess there's still enough boomers and millennials and gen
Xers that understand just how dangerous socialism, Marxism, communism, all
the isms are that we don't want that. We want
free markets, individual liberty, individual freedom. And we see the
Democrats going in exactly the opposite direction. And I think
there's something even more insidious than just the whole political philosophy.
(29:19):
I think there's also the idea that e pluribus unum,
that out of many come one US Americans. So when
you have Zoefram Donnie in New York, a guy that's
never done anything in his life except live off mommy
and daddy, now wants to be the mayor of New York,
(29:41):
wants almost everything that Omar Fatal wants in Minneapolis, which
is just free everything, get rid of the cops, get
rid of prisons, crime, just run rampant. I mean they are.
They are the quintessential Marxists that want to create the
chaos that they I think will leave the elite only
(30:01):
to the revolution. And you know, they wanted to be
some sort of mousey doing revolution so that they can
inflict upon unwinning citizens their political philosophy. So I say
let them go do that. Denver. I don't know that
(30:22):
Denver can be saved. I think Colorado can.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
Because when you.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Look at the geography and you look at the rural
urban divide, and you even look at the divide within
the front range, the political divide there. I had a
discussion with a friend the other day about Douglas County
and how Douglas County worries me because it has and
in fact, this friend of mine said that he knows
(30:51):
personally of hardcore liberals who during COVID decided to move
out of downtown Denver, to get out of the city
and county in Denver. And where did they go. They
went to Douglas County. So that's the equivalent of Californians
(31:12):
moving to Colorado. It's also happening internally. People are getting
sick of what's happening there and so then they go
to Douglas County or maybe al Paso County. Look at
the mayor of El Paso County, I mean the mayor
of Colorado Springs. So it's beginning to change also, but
I think it can be reversed. I just know that
(31:33):
Denver can be real quickly before well, and I really
don't have time. I don't have time at all. I
was going to talk about the Metropolitan Police Department and
how you know Denver PD was puttson around with the numbers. Well,
it turns out that the Metropolitan Police Department has been
manipulating crime data so they can present a lower crime
(31:54):
rate in DC, which leads me to the conclusion believing
anything you read until you get to the second, third, fourth,
or even fifth level of finding original source documents and
then even questioning those and then doing an ab test
(32:17):
against different even the
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Original source documents, you never know what to believe.
