wake up. Honestly, I don'tknow, but I'm trying to manage expectations.

(01:06):
It's always better to, you know, tamp expectations down and then surprise

Is this really a tipping point onimmigration? Global warming skipped us this year.
Wolf kills adorable and cuddly baby cow. I too, am tired of

neighbor exchange. This girl will neverget hired again. How to share Apple
photos with Android users. Those arethe head lines on the blog at mandy'sblog

(03:01):
dot com. And though I tryto include lots of useful information on the
blog, there has never been amore useful piece of information on the blog
than the short video that shows Appleusers what they need to do to their
camera settings so they can share thingswith people who have Android phones. I'm
just saying it is so easy,so easy, and all you have to

(03:25):
do is toggle a toggle and allof a sudden, your photos work everywhere.
Big troble, though, Is thatfor just sending or receiving as well,
because otherwise you need to tell otherpeople to do that? Settup?
Well, no, because Android photossend everywhere without a problem. Yeah,
they don't. Wait, you havean Apple, don't you. Yeah,
Okay, hang on a stile aphoto right now. I'll try Android sending

(03:47):
you a photo right this second.Let me how we're here. Okay,
I'm sending this to a rod.Let me see the message. It's video
I have the problem with. Okay, well, let me try. I
got a video of Jink's uh turningdown a walk the other day. Hang
on one second. She was beinga lazy dog and I took a video
of it. Send an s D. I can't wait, Well let me

(04:09):
okay, Well, let's just seewhat happens here and I'll take an hour.
In an hour, okay, we'llsee what happens anyway. So uh
yeah, it's super easy, andyou could you could fix it so everybody
can get your photos. Because Applecreates this proprietary crap. That is designed
to try and force other people intogetting Apple phones. But I'm not doing
it the superior devices. Yeah,my god, Yeah, sure it's fine.

(04:30):
Well, okay, it's okay.If you ever had an iPhone out
of curiosity and for one look,you're gonna have hold on, hold on,
because you're about to get one opportunity. You're you're nearly screwing it up.
So hold on, You're about toget one opportunity for me to do
this in a polite way to notrip Android. Yeah, I asked you,
honestly, have you ever actually hadan iPhone? I already said no,
okay, why not have you?I have integrated everything. I have

(04:56):
a pixel phone. Everything is integratedacross, across, good, integrated out.
It is fantastic. My entire systemtalks to each other. Yeah,
everything on my computer talks to myphone and vice versa. Everything is integrated
seamlessly. I don't have to toggleany You have no Apple devices? No.
I do have an iPad, butI use it on airplanes to watch
movies. That's all I use myiPad. I got your movie hey,

(05:16):
and actually, and I know it'spretty low death. I want to see
it. Bring in it here andlet me see it anyway. It looks
terrible. It's not gonna that's sadfor me to say about Jings because the
wow that is you can look atthe pixels from here. Uh huh.
Yeah. Yeah, it's working eventhough it's so it's a little better.
It's working fine, it's working justfine. Now send me a video from
Apple and we'll see who has thenolitary. Yeah, there you go.

(05:40):
Yeah, are you paid by Youpay for your text one at a time?
Now? Is that what you do? Now? You've gone back to
You've gone back to two thousand andseven. Hey, today's economy. You
got to cut cost. You canexactly. No, that is not a
thing. But if you want tobe a kind Apple user who has people
in your family that have an Android, this is the way to solve the
problem. And no, no,no, I'm think a bit it out

(06:03):
in my Apple and I'll be happyabout it. Thank you. Oh,
this is a fun headline on FoxNews that just popped up. Eight migrant
squatters arrested with gun and drugs.Fantastic, fantastic. Today, we've got
a really good show plan. I'mvery excited about this. I love any
organization that truly helps people move forwardin life and doesn't just I'm a hand
up organization person rather than a handoutperson. And the Master's Apprentice is one

(06:27):
of those organizations. It is fantasticand it actually helps kids who are from,
you know, backgrounds where maybe theydon't know people who have jobs in
construction. And I've told this storybefore on the air, but it made
it such an impact on me thatit sort of changed the way I look
at the notion of they should justpull themselves up by the bootstraps. I

(06:50):
was working with some kids at ahigh school in Louisville, Kentucky, and
this was a high school that hada very high population of kids living in
poverty. I was there to helpthis group of kids that had sort of
been selected as having a lot ofpotential, and I was working with them
on public speaking, that was whatI was in there to do. And
I was trying to explain a conceptto them and I said, well,

(07:12):
do you do you know anybody whoowns a business. Do you know anybody
like a hair salon or whatever?Do you know anybody who owns a business?
And they were just they all justlooked to me, Nope, okay,
And I said, well, doyou know anybody who and I can't
remember the second question I asked,and then one of them said, we
don't know anybody who has a job, And I was like wow, because

(07:35):
what you see around you becomes aspirationalto a certain extent, right, I
mean, that's what you know,that's what you're comfortable with. So you
have young people and they don't seepeople going to work every day, and
they don't see people moving up intheir jobs. They don't see people owning
companies, and so they don't aspireto that because they don't. It's foreign

(07:59):
to them. It seems on theirreach. Other people do that. So
when I see an organization like thisone, the Master's Apprentice, which is
helping disadvantage young adults get into theconstruction traits using apprentice programs, I love
this. And we've got one ofthe founders, Scott Flores, coming on
at twelve thirty, so we'll talkabout it in a few minutes. And
then I don't know if you guysknew this, but World Pilots Day is

(08:20):
coming up. An aviation theme brewery, Flight Co Tower and Denver's Blonde Bombers.
They are an all women flying team. They're joining forces to raise funds
so the Blonde Bombers can do across country air race. And this sounds
like the coolest thing ever, supercool. So we're going to talk to
them a little bit later in theshow and excited to find out more about

(08:45):
that. You know, Erron,have you ever thought about getting your pilot's
license? Well, coming from anaviation family, dad dad was an air
traffic controller thirty five years. Hedid some piloting as well. We flew
all over the country. I haveI can say I have a little Sessona
forest eater. I've put eleven.He was in the main spot. Obviously
I was just holding the thing,but uh, it's I probably wouldn't because

(09:09):
of the hours you have to putin to maintain the license. Like wet
we would often growing up going goto vance Brand Airport up in a long
line and send the parking lot andjust watch him take off and circle land
take off just to maintain hours,and a lot of them. You have
to do a lot of night hourstoo, So for that reason I probably
wouldn't. I we've been thinking aboutit. Chuck and I have both been
thinking about Chuck really wants to gethis pilot's license. As a matter of

(09:33):
fact, if anybody in our listeningaudience either went through a program or knows
of a great program, let meknow. Email me at Mandy at koanewsradio
dot com because I would like tolook into that a little bit more,
or you can text us five sixsix nine zero on the Common Spirit Health
text line Mandy. Android users,everything is great with Android, but Apple
sex because they won't make their excellentsoftware available to me. I don't want

(09:56):
their software. I just want theirpictures to send in a format that is
recognizable by everybody else tried there softWell, I'm just I can't speak both
sides because I've tried both, andguess what's better Apple. I've had a
crapple cryphone and they blanking sucks.That's my question. I follow up to
you, was the last time youhad one? Because they used to be
terrible? Mandy. I agree onthe Android versus iPhone and I have had

(10:20):
an iPhone. Hated it. Yeah, yeah, uh. My kids loved
their Apple iPhone. They kept tellingme to upgrade to an iPhone, so
I did. I kept the phonefor a month and sold it for seventy
five dollars, biggest waste of moneyI ever spent. Will never own an
Apple product. So I am notalone. I am not alone. A

(10:41):
lot of people on the text linewow, wow, I'm shocked. Real
Ralph says, real engineers use Android, Apple is proprietary crap. I love
that argument. I love it.Yeah, yeah, if you you have
the alid I've heard that. Yeah, yeah, it's true. It's true.
Oh I got my first weather asnot climate. How many tides lest

(11:05):
you idiots be it? Revi diedbecause I made a comment, and I
did this purposely to aggravate this typeof person. I have a story on
the blog today that we took thelongest end that we've taken in forty one
years to hit seventy degrees. Youknow, we always have that little break
where we get into the sixties,like in February usually, and then we'll
HiT's hit seventies sometime in March.Well, we've gotten all the way to

(11:28):
April. Yesterday we hit seventy degreesfor the first time, and so I
always put global warmings skipdesks this year, and you know that I would get
that comment it's weather as not climate. How many times must do idiots be
it revine it? Well, whatis climate then? Isn't it just an
aggregation of all the weather that we'vehad. Just throwing that out there because

(11:50):
it is. It is. Andthe funny thing is that though we cannot
accurately predict the weather beyond like twoor three days, you're telling me you
can predict the climate, which isabsolute crap. Let me do this story
because this kind of got me startedon this. So I have a story
on the blog today that's actually aninterview and as a matter of fact,
A rod I want you to trackdown the sky in this interview because I

(12:11):
want to get his book and Iwant to talk to him. Climatologist David
Leggates is not all in on greenenergy and not all in on carbon dioxide
is the problem. He's written anew book, and his new book is
called Climate and Energy the Case forRealism, co authored by E. Calvin

(12:31):
Weisner, And in this interview hegoes he says several several things, and
I want to share this one partwith you. Part of the issue,
he says, is that carbon dioxide. We're told that it's a magic climate
controlled No, that essentially if youput more carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous

(12:52):
oxide into the atmosphere, temperatures goup, you get more hurricanes, more
tornadoes, more droughts, more floods, more all the bad stuff people don't
want to see. If we somehowkept carbon dioxide to a minimal level somewhere
between three hundred and fifty parts permillion to two hundred and eighty six parts
per million, that life would begood. We wouldn't have hurricanes, we
wouldn't have tornadoes. All these badthings would stop happening. Temperature would stop

(13:16):
rising, the seas would stop rising, as former President Barack Obama said,
and magic happens. And the problemis it's not connected directly to carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is a bit player inall of this. So I think
that one of the TAKEO messages isthat carbon dioxide isn't the climate control knob.
For most of climate history, we'veactually seen that air temperature leads and

(13:39):
carbon dioxide follows. And that makestotal sense because when air temperature goes up,
water becomes warmer, there's more outgassingof carbon dioxide, and so as
your temperature of the ocean's rises,carbon dioxide is given off by the oceans,
the atmospheric concentrations increase, so generally, historically we've seen temperatures go up

(14:01):
carbon dioxide follows. Now, thequestion is, if carbon dioxide goes up,
we'll temperature follow and the answer isyes, slightly. However, most
of the absorption bands that we havewith carbon dioxide are already saturated. So
what that means is that essentially,if you add no carbon dioxide or no
greenhouse gases in the atmosphere at all, the addition of some makes a big

(14:24):
deal. But as you start toadd more and more and more, you
get less of an impact. Andso by the time we are where we
are now, more carbon dioxide reallydoesn't do a whole lot. And so
if we doubled carbon dioxide now weget maybe a degree celsius of warning warming
and that would be it. Andcertainly it's not worth the economic inputs that

(14:46):
people want it to have. Soyou really need to go and read this.
Whether it's not climate, it's not. It's just not. The people
who say weather is not climate arethese same people who claim hurricane as proof
of climate change. That from atexture that the whole hurricane thing is also
addressed, and the severity of stormsand things of that nature in this interview,

(15:11):
And like I said, I'm gonnatry and get this guy on the
show because he's very fascinating. Andthis is consistent with interviews that I have
done over the course of my careersince two thousand and five, when I've
had my own show, where I'vehad scientists on who have had alternate theories
of global warming and alternate theories ofwhat we need to do to mitigate global

(15:31):
warming. It's not that we canstop it. It's just hubrius that makes
us think that we can somehow flipa switch and change things, and we
can all of a sudden control theweather. Why don't we throw a virgin
into a volcano now? Will bejust as effective as what we're doing right
now. I mean, but thehumans has been around since the Mayans through
virgins into volcanoes because they thought itwould appease the gods and give them better

(15:54):
weather for the summer crops. Right, I mean, we've been doing this
dance for a long time, andback then it was just a few virgins
who were getting killed. But nowwe are going to starve people in third
world countries under the guise of savingthe Planet. I heard the I heard
Ross's show earlier, and he wastalking about how the left wants to destroy

(16:17):
religion because they want people who willwillfully follow their big government schemes, or,
in the case of climate change,their new climate change God. And
if they could get people to bescared enough of climate change, then they
can get them to agree to anything. It's the same with gun control,
guys. It is the exact samething. If they can scare you badly

(16:38):
enough. They did it with COVID. You know what, if you don't
get this vaccine, you are goingto kill your grandmother. You're going to
kill your grandmother. Do you wantto be responsible for killing your grandmother?
You better get this vaccine. It'sall a means of control. And if
you believe in God, and ifyou believe that God is the end,

(17:00):
all, be all, and allpowerful, and that God is going to
be the one making the decisions andthe choices here to a certain extent,
because free will is a huge partof Christianity, then you're not going to
believe that man has the answer tocontrolling the environment that God created. And
so they have to undermine religion seriously. It is this person on the tech

(17:23):
side. I thought hurricanes happened becausepeople didn't get the job. No,
Grandma died because people didn't get thejab just saying, just saying anyway,
So that is on the blog todayas well. I've got a bunch of
things that I want to cover.That is that is under the headline fact

(17:44):
checking the warmes. So there youhave that. When we get back here,
we're going to talk to the Master'sapprentice about what they're doing and how
you can support the organization because,like I said, I love, love,
love love any organization that is aup organization. And to the person
who just got mad because I readtheir text in a demeaning voice, you're

(18:06):
disgusting, that's what they said.You're disgusting. Yeah, yeah, disgusting.
You didn't hurt my feelings text,or you need to try harder.
And I'll read all of them inthat annoying voice because that's how I hear
you. That's the voice that youhave in my head. So keep them
coming. I'm spoiling for a fighttoday. And if you want it,

(18:26):
I got it because I'll make it. I'll make it wildly entertaining for everybody
else. See that's really what thetext line is all about. How can
we use the text line to really, you know, make it entertaining for
everybody else? There you go?Now, yeah, somebody else pointed out.
He pointed out, you got thevaccine, Manny, and I have
expressed regret. I have expressed regretfor telling people to get the vaccine.

(18:48):
I've expressed regret for getting the vaccine. People are allowed to make dumb choices,
but they have to live with theirmistakes, now, don't they don't
they like your mom did down tomorrowat Greggor Square, but not during this
time slot. If you want tohear me tomorrow, you got to tune
in nine to noon. I'm goingto be teamed up with Rosskaminski. We're
going to be right outside Tom's watchBar in McGregor Square on that sort of

(19:12):
not the alleyway. We're not inthe open part. We're in the alleyway
part, right next to Tom's watchbar. So stop by and say hi
if you're coming down for opening day. It's always a fun party. Ross
said, say hi. He wantedyou to say hi as well. Now
I'm going to say hi to aman named Scott Flores, who was one
of the founders of an organization thatcalled The Master's Apprentice, and recently the

(19:36):
Master's Apprentice got a huge one milliondollar grant from the Loew's Foundation to continue
their great work. Scott, welcometo the show. Well, thank you,
Mandy. I sure appreciate the opportunityto share about our wonderful program with
your listeners. Well, tell mylisteners what the Master's Apprentice does. Sure
you've got we're a faith based nonprofitnow. Ten years ago we started a

(20:00):
but pre apprentice program to help youngadults find a bridge to a career in
the skilled trades. The skilled trades, as you know, is desperate for
quality workers, and it's a greatopportunity for young adults to earn a great
living without having to pay tuition,So they can earn while they're learning,
and learn while they're earning. It'sa great opportunity. They don't have to
pay tuition. In four years they'llget their journeyman's license, they'll be making

(20:23):
sixty to eighty grand a year,and they'll have no college tuition to pay
off. So it's a wonderful opportunityand a career path for them. You
know, yesterday there was an articlein the Wall Street Journal that gen Z
is becoming the Hammer generation. Theyare seeing what the millennials are dealing with
with college debt and being underemployed,and they're going into the trades. This

(20:45):
is just I love this, Scott. I mean, what made you and
your fellow founder louis the foundness inthe first place. What inspired this.
I've always been I'll call myself aneducational activist for the last twenty years,
trying to reform K twelve education andcame to the realization, just give me
these guys after they graduate, andwill teach them what they should have learned

(21:07):
in high school. So we teachthem financial literacy, a game which is
about work ethics, conflict resolution,all the soft skills. Because everyone gets
hired based on their hard skills,but they get fired based on their soft
skills. So I think it's veryimportant that we teach these saft skills to
these young adults. The reason westarted it. My background is an entrepreneur

(21:30):
manufacturer, as a former chair ofthe Hispanic chamer of Commerce, and the
number one issue for small business isthey can't find good employees. And through
our volunteer work in the inner citywe have a lot of youth that can't
find good opportunities, So the Master'sappearance was created to be a bridge between
those looking for good employees and thoseyouth that are looking for good opportunities.

(21:52):
Scott, I just relate a storythat happened when I lived in Louisville,
Kentucky, when I was trying tohelp a bunch of kids who are essentially
living in poverty with their public speakingskills right, and I asked them if
they knew anybody who owned a business, and one of them said, I
don't even know anybody who has ajob. And it's easy to say you
should pull yourself up by your bootstraps, but when you're surrounded by people who

(22:15):
don't necessarily show you what opportunity lookslike, it's really hard. Is that
kind of what you find when you'redealing with kids who are coming from poverty,
they don't have those role models intheir immediate area to look up to.
Exactly after doing this for th forseveral decades, the number one issue
is the breakup of the family.I'd say eight out of ten of our

(22:37):
students don't have a male role model, a father figure in their lives.
Right, and those who were blessedenough to have a good father or grandfather
teach you how to measure things,how to make a doghouse, how to
fix the lawnmore. You learn theseskills by watching others do it. So
we try to implement that. Andthat's one of our secret sauces, so
to speak, because we have volunteercoaches, retired and semi retired guys who

(23:00):
come in and teach the curriculum tothese young adults. So you're seeing this
generation gap being bridged also between theboomers who are retiring and the XYZ generation
who is hungry to learn stuff.So it's meeting a need for both the
boomers and the Z generation. No, specifically the master's apprentice. Do you
guys concentrate on construction or do youalso do other trades like milling work and

(23:25):
things like that? Because I knowthat machine shop. I read somewhere that
the average age of people working ina machine shop is like sixty and that
people are not necessarily going into thosekinds of trades. Do you do those
as well? Yeah, that's agreat question, man, Thanks for asking.
Right now, I call it thegreat tsunami. All boomers are retiring.

(23:47):
They're retiring at the tune of aboutten thousand people a day, and
there's nobody coming up underneath to replacethem. So you have the tsunami of
boomys retiring, you have the growingneeds in construction, and that's creating a
huge gap between the supply and demand. Our focus is on what I call
journeyman trade skills such as electrical plumbing, HVAC, carpentry. All of these

(24:10):
have a license you can obtain,and this license is portable. You can
take it wherever you go, whetherit's Nebraska or Kansas or Colorado, wherever.
You don't have to stay with thesame company. Once you have that
license, it's similar to a collegedegree. You can take it with you.
It's transportable. How many kids havecome through this program now, we're
well over six hundred in the lastcouple of years. But with this Lowe's

(24:33):
Gable grant, we're going to bedoubling our capacity in the next eighteen months.
So our projection for this year isabout a little over two hundred,
and next year we'll have three hundredkids in the trade. Now, how
do you connect with you? Doyou connect with specific companies? Do companies
reach out to you and say we'dlike these apprentice apprentices with us. How
does that connection happen? That's great. Yeah, that's one of our reasons

(24:57):
I'd like being on the radio withyour audit. It is because we need
more quality companies that are in searchof pre apprentices that we can fill these
needs for them. And it's awin win situation because we do the vetting
for them. We know these kids, I'll call them kids, but they're
students between eighteen and say forty.We vetted them for six weeks. We

(25:17):
know they show up on time,they're reliable, they're hungry, which is
the key thing every company. Thebiggest issue is are they going to be
reliable? Right? Are they coachable? And our students are that. So
it's a win win situation. Soif these companies want to get in touch
with us, we'd be happy tomeet with them and introduce them to our
graduates. We currently have a classgraduating next week. As a matter of

(25:38):
fact, we'll be placing about thirtyof these students with quality companies. See
I love this. I love lovethis, Scott. I think what you
guys are doing is incredibly valuable,not just for the kids, but because
you're filling those roles that are goingunderfilled now and you're providing these kids a
chance to have a career, thatthey can actually have a wonderful life.

(26:00):
You know, they can build somethingwith this literally and figuratively. So hats
off to you and the Master's Apprentice. And I put a link on the
blog today if anyone listening in myaudience would like to reach out to work
with some of these kids, bringthem on board and knowing that they've been
well trained not just in the hardskills, but also the soft skills.

(26:22):
I think that's a wonderful piece ofthis got I really think that that is
probably what differentiates you from maybe justa straight apprenticeship, is those soft skills
that you talked about earlier. Yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, we're
totally disrupting the traditional workforce model.As a faith based nonprofit, we're able
to get the kids what they needand at the same time provide the companies

(26:44):
with quality embedded workers. All right, that's Scott Flores with the Master's Apprentice.
If you want to find out more, if you want to make a
donation, if you want to workwith them, or if you maybe know
of a kid that could benefit fromthis program. You can find out more
on their website, which I havelinked today at the blog at mandy'sblog dot
com. It's in the top article. So Scott, thank you so much
for making time today. Okay,Mandy, somebody just asked somebody just asked

(27:10):
this question. Is this only inDenver currently? Yes, but hopefully with
the lows of support, we'll beable to branch out another metropolitan areas.
So if you if somebody is listeningin a different area and maybe they want
to start one of these branches ina different area, maybe they can reach
out to you through the website aswell. Yeah, I having contact us

(27:30):
right now. We have currently wehave students come from as far away as
Sport Collins in Colorado Springs. Ohwow, but it's growing all right,
Scott, I appreciate it. Thankyou so much for all you're doing.
All right, thank you. Thatis just a fantastic organization. We'll be
right back. We've got the BlondeBombers coming up. I am not a
part. I want to find outif they're going to make me an honorable

(27:52):
blonde bomber. I've got the blondepart down and I launch bombs from this
radio station all the time. Rhetorical. Of course. There's a really good
article on what you can expect forOpening Day tomorrow. Don't forget. Ross
and I are going to be downby Tom's watch bar and we're going to
be there from nine to noon andthen Kaoi Sports takes over at noon and
they'll take you right up to thegame at one point thirty. And it's

(28:15):
Opening day, people, it's OpeningDay. A Rod's going to be there
too, and unlike last year,he will not be eating bull testicles.
No, there will be no bowltesticles being consumed this year. And if
you missed that from last year,oh you missed it. He ate them
like a champ too. They're delicious, really here they are. They're not
they're just chewy. They're cartilogy.Yeah, I can't argue with that.

(28:37):
Cartilogy is probably the right word.Yep. It is now a little bit,
a little bit really good article fromnine News. I have to give
Kyle Clark credit and nine News creditfor I know, hey, Rod,
it's true, but you know what, I call them out when I disagree,
but I also have to give themcredit where credit is due. They

(28:57):
have been pretty dogged in trying toget information from the Mayor's office about the
total spending on homelessness in Colorado.And yesterday, if you heard the conversation
with Rob Dawson in this segment yesterdayabout the meeting that the finance committee for
the House one thousand program came beforethe Denver City Council committee to answer questions.

(29:22):
But boy, they didn't have alot of answers to a lot of
questions. But what they did answerwas that they don't consider dying to be
a negative outcome, regardless of whetheryou're murdered or you die of an overdose,
because you at least died inside.And isn't that doesn't have more dignity.
Isn't dying of an overdose inside betterthan dying of an overdose outside.

(29:45):
Isn't getting murdered inside nicer than gettingmurdered outside? I mean honestly, really,
But they actually broke down some ofthe questions that we did not get
to yesterday, and some of thequestions that were answered, we're very pointed.
And that was something that Rob saidyesterday, is that the tone of

(30:06):
the questions has gotten far more pointedthan it has before. Counsel Woman Stacy
Gilmore asked, what is the monthlycost on average for the hotel sites?
Counsel Woman Jamie Torres asked, wasforty six dollars forty six million dollars needed
for the first house one thousand goal. Council Woman Amanda Sawyer asked, so
we are looking at actuals of seventyfive million in twenty twenty four for this

(30:29):
project. Counsel Woman Sarah Parody says, we just need to see that this
feels really incomplete to me. SoI'm guessing I'm hoping anyway that they are
going to go back. And youknow what, I just found out there
are things that you can get AIto do for you that I did not
know you could get AI to dofor you, And apparently one of them

(30:53):
is you can have AI create anExcel spreadsheet for you. And I'm not
saying that the Mayor's office needs tohave AI create an Excel spraysheet for themselves,
but if they need it, justthrowing that out is a suggestion,
right. Xcel is one of thosethings that I know I should do.
You know how to make an doyou know how to use Xcel like a
like a ball? Do you knowhow to You know how to do a

(31:15):
lot of stuff technologically, but whereare you on your Excel skills? A
rod really good. I usually doit in Google's version. But yes,
I I XL is honestly like it'slike hieroglyphics to me. I have no
idea it's adding up correctly. Thatnever happens to me. Oh yeah,

(31:36):
it's a little bit of a hybridof coating and yeah. No, no,
it's like it's like a foreign languageto me. And I just now
that I know I can do it, I will never worried about it again.
I've okay, do that. Youtake care of that when, of
course you will, of course youwill. When we get back, we
have our first victim of the wolfimportation. An adorable fuzzy baby carew was

(32:00):
massacred by an imported wolf, andI just want to talk about it.
So the liberals feel bad because thisbaby cow, this's Adore, you know
what. I bet his name wassomething like Pickles, something like that.
And now Pickles is dead because ofyou people. Dead. I am joined
by, first of all, oneof a team of women who are trying

(32:22):
to do a cross country race inairplanes. Mind you not just any race.
They're not they're not hooking it,they're not driving it. This is
an airplane race. And Elena,Elena Bravo is probably your real last name.
That's a very piloty sounding last name. Is that Is that your real
last name or is that your blondebomber name? Elena? It is it

(32:45):
is my real last name. Ilucked out for sure. And we've got
pilot and one of the co foundersof flight Co Tower of brewery Flight Co
Tower, Eric Serani with us aswell. Thank you both for joining me
to talk about this event. AndI want to start with you, Elena,
because this whole fundraiser that we're aboutto talk about is so you guys

(33:07):
can join an air race, right, So what is this? What is
an air race? How do youwhat is this? Yes, the air
Race Classic is an all women's airrace. The first race dates back to
nineteen twenty nine and it's been goingon ever since then. I think the
only time we ever missed one wasthrough the COVID season, of course.

(33:30):
But the race is really meant tocarry on traditions of female pilots and pioneering
women in aviation from those early daysall the way up till now. So
how did you become a pilot.I became a pilot because my dad's a
pilot. I was always interested inaviation when I was a little girl.

(33:50):
Did the responsible thing and went tocollege first, and then after I had
a good career going, I decidedto go ahead and get my pilot's license.
I was certified in twenty sixteen.That's excellent. Now, Eric,
you're also a pilot and a brewer, and I'd like to know how you
went from pilot to brewer. Firstoff, how did you become a pilot
in the first place. Oh,man, I've been flying since I was

(34:15):
about three years old. I wentup to my grandfather's nineteen forty six plane.
Just kind of always been around itmy whole life. When I was
old enough, he had a friendthat was a flight instructor that he paid
to give me lessons, and Isoloed on my sixteenth birthday and got my
private pilot's license when I was seventeen. It's as young as you you can

(34:37):
bet. But I also had otherdreams and aspirations out to school. When
engineering school, that's where I startedhomebrewing with my business partner, Jason Slingsby.
We went off into various engineering degreesand careers and realized that that wasn't
what we wanted to do, sowe came back to brewing in a few

(35:00):
friends said they liked it enough thatthey would invest in us if we ever
did it. One thing led toanother and we're here. So yeah,
aviations and beer has been long,long pillars in my life for me.
Well, you guys, where's flyCo Brewing? Where are you guys?
Located? First of all, ouroriginal location is off of thirty eighth and

(35:22):
Tennyson Street in Northwest Denver. Wejust celebrated five years over there, and
then about a year and a halfago we opened in the old Stapleton Airport
Control Tower building over in Central Parkneighborhood. This is twenty five thousand square
feet of family fund center. It'sbowling, mini golf arcades, X throwing.

(35:43):
What else we got golf sims,three bars, full restaurant. Yeah,
it's quite an operation over here.So how are those two things?
I was trying to get to thetower so I could get to the fundraiser
that we're doing here. How isthat tower coming into play to support the
blonde bombers? Well, yeah,we we just started opening up the tower

(36:06):
to hut tours. We have acouple tours a week. It's all stairs,
about three hundred stairs that you haveto run up, and we thought
this would be a great way foran aviation event like the Blonde Bombers to
raise money for their air ras.So they will be hosting tours on World

(36:30):
Pilots Day on Friday, April twentysixth, and all the money that is
raised during during those tours will godirectly to the Blonde Bombers in their and
their efforts. Now, Elena,you do realize he just said three hundred
stairs that you have to quote runup, So I'm guessing you're going to
do that a few times before theend of this day. How much does

(36:50):
this cost to get one of thesetours? The tours are twenty dollars and
you can get tickets by going toBlonde Bombers dot com. And yes,
I don't think we're going to makepeople run up the stairs, but it's
definitely a hike. Amanda and Iam my fine partner. We've done the
tower tour. It's amazing views upthere and they let you take your drink,

(37:14):
so oh come for lunch, Comefor the happy hour tour. Come
and you can sip your beverage onyour way up those stairs and it's not
so bad. Well, I lovethis because and you guys do a lot
of support it. Flightco for variousorganizations that are trying to help people get
into flying. Is that accurate,Eric, Yeah, that's correct. I

(37:38):
got a scholarship when I was sixteenyears old to get my private pilot's license
when my grandfather passed away, andhis group of friends stepped up and helped
me get across the finish line.So that's always been a big piece of
the brand for me, as wedonate ten percent of our profits to scholarships
youth engagement try to get other peopleinto the industry. It's a very hard

(38:02):
industry with the high barrier of entryto get into and requires a lot of
mentorship. But it's really great,it's really fulfilling. It can change the
life of anyone that decides to pursueit. Now, Elena and I don't
know your flying partner is if eitherof you ever wanted to go fly and
work for a commercial airline or thingslike that. Because I was a flight

(38:22):
attendant back in the nineties for Delta, and I flew with one female captain
and she was a hoot. Imean she looked like Dolly Parton, like
the big hair, the whole nineyards. She started out as a crop
duster and that's how she got intothe pipeline because at the time, when
she was younger, you couldn't flyin the military if you were female.

(38:43):
There was not a lot of femalepilots. Is that something you would ever
pursue her? Is that one ofthe things that you're trying to encourage other
young women to go into flying,to maybe bring more women into the field
overall? Yeah, I personally flyfor fun and for recreation and I want
to stay there. I absolutely loveaviation as a hobby and I find that

(39:05):
it makes me a better manager atwork, you know, better in all
other areas of life. And there'sso many lessons to learn from aviation that
you can apply all over life.So for me, it's an amazing,
challenging hobby. But absolutely part ofour goal as the Blonde Bombers, and
part of the goal of the AirRace Classic, is to encourage and promote
women's roles in aviation and to havecommunity for women in aviation to really learn

(39:28):
about different opportunities that are out therefor women. So you can go a
corporate route. You can go tothe airlines, of course, but there
are plenty of other opportunities you mentionedagriculture corrupt justing there. I recently met
a female pilot who does like aerialsurveillance for firefighting operations. There are so

(39:49):
many really amazing opportunities that are openingup for women all over the aviation industry.
Now, tell me about the race. Tell me where the race starts,
Tell me where the race goes.How long is the race? So
the race is a four day racethat it'll start in Carbondale, Illinois,
and it's going to cover about twothree hundred nautical miles going cross country.

(40:13):
So we'll travel northwards to the UpperPeninsula and then kind of snake our way
across the country westward and it endsright here in Loveland, Colorado. Now,
you guys have also got to gofund me. If people can't come
on World Pilot's Day and do atower tour, you've also got to go
fund me. What is it isthis just to pay for your fuel cost

(40:34):
and your overall cost and participating inthe event. Yes, it's for fuel
costs. Our biggest cost is goingto be renting the aircraft and then paying
for fuel, and neither of usare lucky enough to own our own aircraft
right now. It's a goal thatwe'd love to have, but renting the
aircraft, the fuel. Of course, our hotel and food along the way

(40:55):
are some minor expenses too, butthat's what we've got the go fundme for.
We appreciate everyone's support and is ableto give to that. So this
is our opportunity to bring the airRace Classic Trophy back to Colorado or to
Colorado if it's never been here before, and you guys could wait on your
home turf, that would be prettyamazing. It would be amazing. Yes,

(41:17):
absolutely, we'll be competing against upto sixty other teams or sixty teams
total in the race, and soit'll be stiff competition, but definitely friendly
competition, and we're looking forward tojust you know, being out there and
representing well and doing the best jobthat we can. Now do people have
to sign up for the Tower Tourin advance, and if so, how

(41:38):
do they do that? Tickets arelimited, so we do recommend sign up.
We've got space available on our lunchtour. We've got a three thirty
pm tour. We're thinking about evenadding tours. I think our sunset tour
is just about sold out. Wecan only have I think, Eric,
it is like thirty people up thetower at one just for safety reasons.

(42:00):
We don't want it to be toocrowded, want you at all to be
able to enjoy those views. Sodefinitely head to the website and reserve your
spot early if possible. All right, I put a link on my blog
to both the blonde bombers. Ididn't put one to flight code, but
I will rectify that, Eric,as soon as we get to a commercial
break. This is such a coolevent. It's all happening on April twenty

(42:21):
six. I fully expect a report. And when you guys, get your
satin jackets. Okay, I wanta blonde bomber's satin jacket because I've asked
Elena. I want to be madean honorary bomber, so I feel like
satin jackets are required. So whenthat happens, let me know. And
after you win, we're going todo the assumed clothes here. And after
you win, you can come inand parade your hardware from winning on the

(42:45):
show. I would love to haveyou guys back in too here more and
you may see me on four twentysix. This sounds really intriguing and I
love whenever I travel, I alwaysgo to the place that has the best
view. And I bet you theview from the tower is pretty spectacular,
Eric, is it? I mean, do you do you let people rent
out the tower? Now? Not, we haven't done private events up there

(43:07):
yet, but you are correct.It is the best view in Denver.
It's you get the city skyline withthe mountains behind it. You can see
all the way to Pike's Peak,up the Long Speak and even further.
It's it's pretty incredible. All right, this is all happening April twenty six.
Guys, thank you so much formaking time today. I really appreciate
it. And best of luck,Lena. I hope you and your partner

(43:29):
fly like the wind and win thisrace and raise all the money you need
and have a great time doing itand represent Colorado. Well. Thank you
so much. Mandy, really appreciatebeing on. Stay all right and go
visit Eric at Flight Co Brewing.You can go to the old Stapleton Tower
they got all kinds of good stuffgoing on. You can entertain the entire

(43:49):
family. If your family is fun, you can entertain your entire family.
There, Eric, thanks for comingon the show today. Thanks for having
us me all right. Thanks guys. That is Alena Bravo and Eric Seraani,
who is one of the founders offlight Co Brewing. That's really cool.
That's really really cool. I dothink they need satin jackets. Where

(44:12):
can we get satin jackets made forthem? Because I think that, you
know, we should have satin jacketsmade for the show. A rod,
would you wear a satin jacket ifI got you on? Like a cool
one? I mean, I thinkto Google exactly what we need a logo.
We need a show logo that weput on the back of a satin
jacket. Oh you know what Imean? Would be cool. I wonder
if any of our listeners would buyour satin jackets. That would be fantastic,

(44:37):
absolutely fantastic. Oh, guys,I just saw Mandy. Why didn't
I ask them what type of airplanethey're flying? I don't know. They
have a great website that has theirstory, how they're racing. It has
all kinds of information on it,and that's what I linked to on the
blog today as well. So thisperson, let's let's talk about the poor

(44:58):
baby cow, the baby adoor.I'm sure it was just the cutest.
I bet it was like one ofthose little black and white spotted cows that
are just and I bet it hadbig moonpie eyes that just looked up at
you while it looked up at youand wanted you, wanted you to pet
it, little baby cow. Andthen all of a sudden, little baby
cow's hanging out with its mom,just not minding its own business, just

(45:21):
doing its thing, baby cow thing, maybe having a little drink from mom,
you know, And then all ofa sudden, out of nowhere,
here comes a wolf, probably awolf with a collar. You know what
I'm saying. A wolf with acollar comes out of nowhere and attacks and
rips the baby cow of shreds,and they're Pickles is laying on the ground
dead. Because liberals in Boulder inDenver voted for wolfree introduction, I want

(45:45):
them to know that Pickles's blood ison their hands. Absolutely one, this
person says on the text line Mandy, and no one will care about Pickles
being dead until the West slope,transplanted wolves are retransplanted to the front range,
and a few fluffies and Fido's disappear. That from Brian. That from

(46:07):
Brian. Yep, yep, yep, yep. I just saw a video
last night of a woman getting toHighland Scottish highland cows calves, little ones,
and they're wandering around her house.And honestly, now I want a
cow and I don't even have aplace for a cow. I don't think

(46:28):
my neighbors would be appreciative of mehaving a cow. I think Jenks would
love having a cow. She wouldthink having a cow was awesome, absolutely
awesome. Oh this person, saysMandy. Any influencer has merched. I
gotta tell you, I don't know. I don't know that I think of
myself as an influencer. That word, like it just feels very pretentious,

(46:53):
you know what I mean? Like, what do you do? I'm an
influencer? Well, what do youinfluence people to do? I mean,
don't get me wrong. If Ichange your mind about something and you start
thinking about something the way I thinkabout something, that's great. But that's
not my end game here. Myend game here is to give you something
to think about, maybe make youlook at it from a slightly different perspective

(47:14):
than you were thinking about it,or maybe just reaffirm what your perspective is.
I don't care and do it inan entertaining fashion. My job is
not to go and now, wellthat's not true. I take that back.
My job is to go. Andnow you will call fix at twenty
four to seven and get your accleaned for thirty nine dollars for first time
customers, or you will now goto Inemacs and buy yourself a new bed.

(47:36):
I guess from that perspective, Iam trying to influence you because my
advertisers are the reason that we're hereand that I have a job, So
please support my average. Let meinfluence you in that direction. This person
said, Mandy, I was goingto eat pickles anyway, but the death
would have been painless and quick,just a bam cattle prod to the head

(47:57):
and lights out pickles instead of beingagonizingly eaten to death by a wolf probably
still alive for part of it.Oh yeah, yeah, Oh, we
got one in for a satin jacket. This person says, you, guys,
the same global warmer is still inthe text line shows you know nothing
about farming. Black and white cowsare Freezians, dairy cows, not cattle

(48:21):
in the mountains. Maybe I'm beingsarcastic. Maybe the cow didn't even have
a name, but I named itPickles. Just make a point. Ah,
the humorlessness of the left on displayevery day on the text line they're
flying a Cessna one seventy two.I just got that answer, Mandy.

(48:42):
I think that the perpetrator of themurder of Pickles the calf was named Marlin
the wolf. Yes, indeed,the animal loving first gentleman. We should
name a wolf after him, andthat way, every time he tears into
the flesh of another animal, maybethe first gentleman will feel it in his
bones. They'll be horrified because he'sa vegan. That would be cool for

(49:07):
you can just transfer those feelings over. Yeah, yeah, this person,
the city at Boulder, Denver,and the surrounding counties need to be rewilded
with wolves. I agree, butnot the surrounding counties where I live,
because I didn't vote for it.Only the counties that voted for it should
get wolves. That's what it shouldhave been. The ballot initiative should have

(49:30):
said should we reintroduce gray wolves intoyour county. If your county votes yes,
we will reintroduce wolves into your countybecause you know what, if you
go back far enough, I betyou there was wolves roaming through the area
that is now Civic Center Park.I bet you they were all up and

(49:52):
down the Platte River. I betyou they were all over the Denver Tech
Center. Yeah, we should reintroducethem back into that part of Colorado.
But right now, Oh, someonesaid, let's send pictures of the calf
remains along with a before photo tothe governor's husband. Oh yeah, yeah,

(50:17):
since the cattle farmer will be reimbursedwith tax dollars, does that mean
the Colorado taxpayers are footing the billfor the wolves to eat veal? Yes,
Indeedy Texter, great point, excellentpoint. Is this the first cow
to die because of a wolf inColorado? Asking for a friend? No
it is not. Here's a funfact. We already have wolves in Colorado

(50:39):
and they've killed livestock many times,the other wolves, but this is the
first time that reintroduced wolves have killeda baby cow. Pickles, rip pickles
will miss you. You could havebeen delicious at some point, but instead,
you're just deads. I think everyone'sbeing hard on a wolf that just

(51:02):
wanted some good tashimi, says thistexter. Can you say it's sashimi or
it's more tartar? Just looking fora little veal tartar, because that's what
he got. Mandy, why didn'tthe first husband demand vegetarian wolves be reintroduced?
Well, that's a good question,that is a very good question.

(51:23):
I don't know. Well, youknow, you got Michael Bennett trying to
change cow diets to slow down theirburps, and that's a real thing that's
happening right now. Our tax dollarsare being spent on studies on cow urbs.
Yeah, this is exactly what ourit's I'm sure it's fine. I'm
sure it's going to be fine,perfectly fine. This person said, maybe

(51:49):
we should reintroduce Buffalo's along I twentyfive. Great idea that would make rush
hour even more fun when we getback. I've got to share with you
a Twitter thread on Bill Clinton thatsomeone put together in order to demonstrate how
far left the Democratic Party has lurchedin the last thirty years, and it
is really really interesting. That's comingup next. A guy named, and

(52:14):
I don't know this guy is he'sa let me check, he's a blue
check. Oh, he's a polster, meaning he does pulls. His name
is Patrick Raffini. And he dida whole thread on Bill Clinton. One
of the things that I was thinkingabout this the other day for no appair
reason, because this is how mymind works. I'm driving in my car
and I was thinking about the factthat everybody on the left likes to talk

(52:37):
about the fact that Trump is ahorrible horn dog, and they like to
talk about the grab him by theblank comment that he made to Billy Bush.
And they like to talk about thefact that he cheated on his wives
with porn stars, and they liketo act like somehow they have the vapors
because of it, because this isjust beyond the pale. But it isn't

(53:00):
that the party that gave us BillClinton, a man who was so credibly
accused of rape that Paula Jones wona massive settlement against him. But they
didn't stop there. No, theythen nominated his wife, who spent decades
protecting the sexual predator known as BillClinton. And then and then they're gonna
look at Donald Trump and they pretendthere there's some kind of moral high ground

(53:22):
there. It's it's fascinating. Really, I just want to kind of reenact
that this is your brain on drugscommercial. No it wasn't. This is
your brain on drugs. Remember whenthe guy comes into his kids bedroom and
he's like, where did you getthis juff? And the kids like,
I learned it from you? Okay. That's what I feel like we should
all say to the Democrats, welearned it from you. Okay. We

(53:42):
were told back then that it wasjust a private matter between he and Hillary,
and that the fact that George Stephanopolos, who now has a prominent role
with ABC News, spent most ofhis days tamping down quote bimbo eruptions.
We're supposed to ignore all that.I mean, that was back then,
this is now now. It's horrible. Back then it was like, ooh,
no big deal, personal matter.But that is neither here nor there

(54:06):
for the purposes of the thread thatI'm about to share with you, I'm
just going to read it because Ithink that will be the best way.
It's not that long, Bill Clintonsays. Patrick Graffini was reelected in nineteen
ninety six by eight point five pointsthe most resounding victory by a Democrat since
LBJ. I don't think people realizewhat a stick in the eye. His
campaign was to liberal Democratic orthodoxy,a thread an appreciation of Clinton's ninety six

(54:34):
reelection. After losing the nineteen ninetyfour mid terms, Clinton was in a
political funk, written off for dead. Then he hired Dick Morris, the
party hopping Republican who helped Clinton winhis nineteen eighty two come back bid in
Arkansas. Soon after Clinton had hisgroove back. One of Morris's first moves
was to launch an ad blitz inthe summer of nineteen ninety five, sixteen

(54:59):
months before the election. The issuecrime. Clinton seamlessly blended talk of gun
control with support for more police,a both and strategy that eludes Democrats today.
Morris's strategy became known as triangulation.Written up in this November nineteen ninety
five Lloyd Grove column from The WashingtonPost, this position Clinton above the fray,

(55:23):
distinct from unpopular, gang rich Republicansand the Democratic left. The biggest
sign of the positioning Clinton would adopther in the campaign came during the nineteen
ninety six State of the Union address, when he declared the era of big
government is over. Clinton endorsed abalanced budget and got it done in his

(55:44):
second term. Now I could takeissue with the he got it done.
That was all new gingrich with thebalance budget, and Clinton knew that the
Republicans had the votes to overwrite aveto. Let's be real about that.
But nonetheless, we got a balancebudget. Raffini continues. At the same
time, President and his surrogates continuedto distance themselves from their party's soft on

(56:05):
crime image. Here's Hillary Clinton talkingabout super predators in January of nineteen ninety
six. Can I have my audio? Very very quill? Nope, not
yet. Yeah, oh this islong. I thought it was shorter,
but it's no, it's not.Let's see here. Let's just come on
c spand okay, give me myaudio. Now. His challenge is to
take back our streets from crime,gangs, and drugs. And we have

(56:30):
actually been making progress on this countas a nation because of what local law
enforcement officials are doing, because ofwhat citizens and neighborhood patrols are doing.
We're making some progress. Much ofit is related to the initiative called community
policing. Because we have finally gottenmore police officers on the street. That
was one of the goals that thePresident had when he pushed the crime bill

(56:52):
that was passed in nineteen ninety four. He promised one hundred thousand police.
We're moving in that direction, andsee it already makes a difference, because
if we have more police interacting withpeople, having them on the streets,
we can prevent crimes. We canprevent petty crimes from turning into something worse.
But we also have to have anorganized effort against gangs. Just as

(57:15):
in a previous generation we had anorganized effort against the mob. We need
to take these people on. Theyare often connected to big drug cartels.
They are not just gangs of kidsanymore. They are often the kinds of
kids that are called super predators,no conscience, no empathy. We can
talk about why they ended up thatway, but first we have to bring
them to heal and the present.Now, I'm gonna stop it right there.

(57:37):
This is Hillary Clinton. Compare thisto what the Democratic Party is now.
The Democratic Party right now is allowinggang members from Venezuela and other places
to walk across the southern border.I didn't have the story on the blog
today but there's a story out ofVirginia, a group of gang members who
walked across the southern border. Theywere part of MS thirteen, a very

(58:00):
violent Latin American gang, and they'rein prison because they were arrested for something.
They're in jail and they murdered aguard dog inside the prison that was
trying to protect the prison guard fromthem. And the Democrats here in Colorado
they don't want to increase penalties forstealing a gun, and they want to

(58:24):
move money from police into community programs. That alone is stunning. But then
Patrick Rafini continues, Clinton's positioning oncrime and immigration would be unthinkable for a
Democrat today. Consider this clip fromnineteen ninety five State at the Union,
where he talks about the need tostop illegal aliens, saying they take jobs

(58:46):
and social services from America, notonly in the states most heavily affected,
but in every place in this country. Are rightly disturbed by the large numbers
of illegal aliens entering our country.The jobs they hold might otherwise be held
by citizens or legal immigrants. Thepublic service they use impost burdens on our

(59:06):
taxpayers. That's why our administration hasmoved aggressively to secure our borders more by
hiring a record number of new borderguards, by deporting twice as many criminal
aliens as ever before, by crackingdown on illegal hiring, by barring welfare
benefits to illegal aliens. And thebudget I will present to you, we
will try to do more to speedthe deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested

(59:29):
for crimes, to better identify illegalaliens in the workface, as recommended by
the commission headed by a former CongresswomanBarbara Jordan. Now I want to stop
that there. Now we have Democratsgiving illegal immigrants eight hundred dollars a month
cards to use, debit cards touse. We have them providing free housing.

(59:51):
We have them buying them bus ticketsto other parts of the country here
in Denver. That's how far theDemocratic Party has changed, how much has
changed since Bill Clinton. But Raffinicontinues, the signature of the Morris triangulation
campaign was a series of micro initiativesto pinch Clinton to culturally conservative voters concerned
about the decline of traditional values.In February nineteen ninety six, Clinton came

(01:00:16):
out for school uniforms in public schools, and Clinton endorsed a V chip installed
in TV sets to allow parents toblock violence in smut. V chips were
included in the nineteen ninety six TelecommunicationsAct he signed into law, which also
banned internet porn. This provision waslater struck down by the courts. The

(01:00:37):
biggest legislative accomplishment of nineteen ninety sixwas welfare reform, an issue pushed relentlessly
by Republican Congress. A stick inthe eye to the left and yet another
example of Clinton swiping an issue fromout from under the Republican's noses. Dick
Morris's strategy would outlast Morris on thecampaign. During the convention, his affair

(01:00:58):
with a prostitute was revealed and heresigned, but Bill Clinton's remaining advisors stuck
with the plan, concluding why fixit if it ain't broken. In the
dead of night of September twentieth,just weeks before the election, Clinton signed
the Defense of Marriage Act, establishingmarriage as between a man and a woman
for the purposes of federal law.While Clinton didn't go out of his way

(01:01:21):
to tout DOMA with a huge billsigning ceremony, his campaign bragged about it
in stealth ads on Christian radio theelection was effectively over. Long before Labor
Day. Clinton drove home the ageissue with Bob Dole with his slogan building
a bridge to the twenty first century. And then they talk about ads and
whatnot, and we all know whathappened. But think about where we are

(01:01:45):
now compared to where Bill Clinton wasin nineteen ninety six with the Democratic Party.
What Bill Clinton ran on and wonin nineteen ninety six. Somebody said,
uh, oh, shoot, hangon one second, it's just updated.
Are you going to go over?How far the Republican MAGA Party has
gone right? And I challenge youTexter to tell me what issue the Republican

(01:02:08):
Party has actually moved right on.They are now more accepting, according to
polling data, of gay marriage.They have given up the fight over gay
marriage completely. They are still forenergy and dependence. They are still a
pro life party. They are stillfor lower taxes. Now they are not
for lower spending. They can nolonger make that argument anymore. But that

(01:02:31):
moves them to the left, notto the right. They're still for border
security, which Bill Clinton was forback in the day. They're still for
all fighting crime, law and order. They're still for all of those things.
If anything, the Republican Party hasmoved left as well. So you

(01:02:51):
know, I mean, man manyClinton was a horrible husband, but did
have some good ideas a reasonable person. Clinton was an incredibly smart political animal,
and Dick Morris's strategy as laid outhere was brilliant because after nineteen ninety
four, remember nineteen ninety four wasa Republican wave and put the Republicans firmly

(01:03:13):
in house in charge of Congress.So he knew that he was up against
a Congress that did not share hisvalue system right, but he instead of
fighting it and being petulant about it, he simply made it seem like things
like a balance budget were his ideawhen they clearly were not. You go
back and look at the budgets thatBill Clinton actually proposed. You know,

(01:03:36):
the president always proposes a budget,so you can go back and see what
he actually proposed as opposed to thebalanced budget that he eventually signed. Because
he knew that he was going tolose on that issue. He knew he
was going to be overridden as Vetowas going to be overridden if he vetoed
it, so he just made ithis own. It was genius, But

(01:03:57):
I don't think it's because philosophically that'swhat he believed. I think because he's
such a clever political animal. I'lltalk politicians that are amazing at politics.
I'm gonna give you my list.Bill Clinton amazing at politics. Mitch McConnell
amazing at politics, Jared Polis amazingat politics. They all share the same

(01:04:23):
sort of uncanny ability to put themselveswherever they need to be to accomplish whatever
goal they think they need to accomplish. I mean, look at our own
governor. He will tell you heembraces in the national media, he embraces
this libertarian Democrat crap. But youlook at the bills that he has signed

(01:04:43):
from the Democratic legislature. Here's thekicker, you guys. He doesn't have
to sign bills for them to becomelaw. If he doesn't sign him,
they become law anyway. He justdoesn't have to sign him. But he
has signed all of these bills thathave over and over and over again restricted
the freedoms of Colorado's whether it comesto gun ownership or other areas of our

(01:05:04):
lives. And yet he gets pressednationally about being this business friendly libertarian that
is being brilliant at politics. That'swhat that is. And that's why I'm
pretty sure Jared Police is going tobe president someday, because not enough people
in the national media are asking enoughquestions about what he's actually done instead of

(01:05:27):
what he says he's done, andthose two things are very, very different.
We'll be right back. You guysare cracking me up about whether or
not I win Powerball so many Ifyou actually won, you'd have to be
sneaky about it, because if peopleknew you were a billionaire, every nutcase
would come out of the woodwork.Well, they would not be able to

(01:05:48):
find me at my moated house behindmy gates and my sharks with lasers in
my motes. Not worried about that, Mandy, you forgot to pay taxes
on your lump star into your bankaccount, unless, of course, I
just slide into a Swiss bank accountand do that now, I'm just kidding.
Of course, you'd have to paytaxes if I won the power Ball,

(01:06:11):
says this text. Or I'd comeback to work just to collect the
vacation days and sick days that theyowe me, and then I would start
a new life in the Virgin Islands. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mandy.
If I were you in one powerball, I wouldn't say anything and
come to work like nothing happened.Wait till you've consulted with an attorney before
you tell anyone, including Chuck.That could take some time. Once the

(01:06:33):
legal and financial plans are in place, then you tell Chuck claim the prize,
do it and honestly anonymously through atrust or LLC. Then suddenly don't
show up for work. If yousuddenly were off the air Monday or any
day after a massive lottery, thatwould be suspicious and people might look you
up, which I'll bet has alreadyhappened anyway. Now, this clever texture

(01:06:55):
is probably exactly what I would do, but I'm trying to throw everyone off
the scent, so when I showup for work on Monday, they will
have no idea that I actually wonthe lottery. See what I'm doing here,
It's reverse psychology, Mandy. IfI want, I would let you
interview me, but you'd have tochange my voice and I'd have to wear
diskuis in studio. Deal, absolutely, deal, Hi, Mandy. Here's

(01:07:17):
another caption for the lips of TikTokvideo on your blog that I unfortunately just
chose to see when you're wearing adress and all you see when you look
down is your stomach, then youreally need Soto weight loss. Yeah,
that guy hasn't seen below his bellybutton in a a while. Maybe he
didn't know, Maybe he had noidea. What's in that video? I

(01:07:39):
don't know. Maybe maybe not theother video that I want to direct people's
attention to a rod. You sentme to this this morning and it made
me angry. You know what videoI'm talking about, don't you? I
do very much, and I'm veryI I got angry this morning. It's
a video of this girl who's likeunethical ways to not do work at work

(01:08:03):
or whatever. And she's like,you know, you could do this and
basically lie to your boss and notwork at all. And she's like,
of course, you don't have todo it, but this is just a
suggestion. And she gives all ofthese suggestions on how not to work at
work, and as a hard worker, this pisces me off. You make
good points, However, they're allreally creative. I don't care how creative

(01:08:29):
they are. If I worked withthis girl, I would rat her out
at every opportunity. That she doesn'tdo any of them. Well, I
bet she's never going to get hiredby anybody else. Again, would you
hire her? I wouldn't hire her. The creativity of it, No,
it makes me think about it.No. No, If you use your
powers for good, then I wouldhire you. But if you use your
powers for evil, which she is, I am not a man like you.

(01:08:50):
You appreciate the fact that I too, am very hard working, and
usually that kind of stuff would reallyannoy me. But the creativity of all
the ideas, Nope, I'm gonnaget it out a lot. Give it
no grace, And I give nograce because I've been in the workforce since
i was fourteen years old, sothat's forty years that I've been in the
workforce, and I have had coworkerswho do crap like this all the time.

(01:09:12):
And when I was younger, itwas more important for me to be
liked than it was for me tocall out people on their bs. But
now I'm old and I don't careif people like me. So if she
was in this office doing this crap, I would throw her under the bus
every opportunity until she got fired,and I would let her know the second
time I caught her doing something likethis, I'm going to keep riding you
out until you get fired. Sothat's where we are right now, because

(01:09:35):
I don't have time for this anymore. I do not have time. There
are too many people who work toohard at their jobs. If you don't
like the job, find another one, but don't sit there and pretend to
work, because you're essentially stealing moneyfrom your boss if you do this crap
and don't do your job as intended. Ugh, it torked me off today.

(01:09:56):
I was pissed. I mean Iwas pissed. I have always told
my daughter, like, whatever jobyou do, and I don't care if
you want to be a teacher,if you want to be a cop,
if you want to be an accountant, if you want to be a CEO,
if you want to be an astronaut, if you want to be whatever,
whatever you want to be, youbetter work harder than anybody else at

(01:10:16):
whatever you're doing, because there's nothingworse. There's nothing worse than having a
fellow employee who sucks. And thatgirl in this video sucks. I don't
I wanted to punch her in theface. Of course, I do not
want people to punch her in theface, but I wanted to, but
I wouldn't. Just to let youknow when we get back in the who

(01:10:39):
was their first question about Israel andPalestine? I had the answer when we
get back. This just came outon our friends Fox thirty one KDVR.
They have confirmed that the City ofDenver is conducting a full scale security check
at the Trouble Tree. The TroubleTree, of course, the Farmer Double
Tree where people have been murdered andit's just been an absolute disaster. And

(01:11:02):
the check is being conducted by Denver'sHousing Stability Office with support from the Denver
Police Department. They are searching eachroom. They say, what we're engaging
in is a comprehensive security inspection underwayof the entire property, all guest rooms,
all common areas, all areas ofthe grounds. They are looking for

(01:11:24):
prohibited items like weapons. Now,guests were notified of the inspection before it
happened, so we'll see if theyactually find anything. I mean, I
just have this vision of them goingin and tossing everything like a prison warden,
you know what I mean. Butthat's going on right now. I
wanted to share this because and Ishare two things on the column to are

(01:11:45):
on the blog today related to Israel. One of them is an outstanding column
by David Strom where he said,I'm just furious about the anti Israel propaganda
and it is so good, andyeah, there's some what aboutism is in
it, but the whole purpose ofthe column is to demonstrate that Israel is
always held to a standard that noone else is held to. No one

(01:12:08):
else because if we want to stopthe fighting in Israel right now and the
Gaza strip, all that has tohappen is Hamas has to release the hostages.
That's all. That's all they haveto do. They release the hostages,
everything stops. In that column yousee video of Hamas taking control of

(01:12:29):
the un AID trucks rolling into theinto gaza. As soon as they come
in, they hop on the trucks. They then control how the aid is
given out. We're just replenishing Hamas'ssupplies when it comes to food and medicine
and things of that nature. Theyare not giving it to the Palestinian people.
I shared a survey from the Palestinianpeople who said like seventy nine percent

(01:12:50):
said that aid was distributed based onpolitics and that it was not distributed fairly,
and yet we're still saying we needmore aid to No, that's aid
to Hamas. That's what that isaid to Hamas. So this is a
little history for those people who wantto quote restore Palestine, free Palestine,

(01:13:13):
as if Palestine was a thing.So we're gonna do this real quick.
It's longer than you might think,but it's worth it. Number One,
Before Israel, there was a BritishMandate, not a Palestinian state. Before
the British Mandate, there was theOttoman Empire, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Ottoman Empire, there wasthe Islamic state of the Mamluks of Egypt,

(01:13:36):
not a Palestinian state. Before theIslamic State of the Mamluks of Egypt,
there was an Ayubid Arab Kurdish Empire, not a Palestinian state. Before
the Ajubid Empire, there was theFrankish and Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem, not
a Palestinian state. Before the Kingdomof Jerusalem, there was the Umaiyad and
Fatimi Empires, not a Palestinian state. Before the and Fatimid Empires, there

(01:14:00):
was the Byzantine Empire, not thePalestinian state. Before the Byzantine Empire,
there were the Sassanids, not aPalestinian state. Before the Sassanid Empire,
there was the Byzantine Empire, nota Palestinian state. Before the Byzantine Empire,
there was the Roman Empire, nota Palestinian state. Before the Roman
Empire, there was the Hasmonian State, not a Palestinian state. Before the

(01:14:24):
Hasmonian State, there was a Seleucidnot a Palestinian state. Before the Seleucid
Empire, there was the Empire ofAlexander the Great, not a Palestinian state.
Before the Empire of Alexander the Great, there was the Persian Empire,
not a Palestinian state. Before thePersian Empire, there was the Babylonian Empire,
not a Palestinian state. Before theBabylonian Empire, there were Kingdoms of

(01:14:46):
Israel and Judah, not a Palestinianstate. Before the Kingdoms of Israel and
Judah, there was the Kingdom ofIsrael, not a Palestinian state. Before
the Kingdom of Israel, there wasthe Theocracy of the Twelve Tribes of Israel,
not a Palestinian state. Before theTheocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel.
There was an agglomeration of independent Canaanitecity kingdoms, not a Palestinian state,

(01:15:11):
the Kingdom of David. And itshows a historic map for those wondering
how the region looked over two thousandyears ago and how deep the roots of
the Jewish people run in these lands. So everybody who says we need to
restore the Palestinian state, they're probablythe same people who do land acknowledgments before
they do anything on land that waspreviously owned by Native Americans, therefore implying

(01:15:32):
that somehow Native Americans own this now. If that's what we're doing, then
the Jews have DIBs on the entirestate of Israel. Just saying, Mandy,
this texter said, everyone says putpressure on Israel to change their ways,
how about we put pressure on Hamasto change their ways. Steve,
you are exactly right, and thatis the point of the David Strom column.

(01:15:58):
We are not asking anything of Hamas. And lest we forget, it
was Hamas's decision to launch a fullscale attack where women were so violently raped
before their breasts were cut off thattheir pelvises were broken, where babies and
families were murdered in their beds wherethey slept, Where people at a dance

(01:16:19):
festival that was supposed to be afestival of peace were slaughtered as they tried
to run away. That was Hamas, That wasn't Israel, And you're asking
Israel to live side by side witha place that is run by the people
who launched that attack. Can youimagine if Tomorrow and Tucson, Arizona,

(01:16:42):
Mexico, launched an attack into Tucsonwhere they randomly started murdering people in the
streets American citizens, where they shotbabies and strollers, where then they decided
to go into shops in Tucson andrape the women that were working there.
And then after they raped them,they murdered them, and they threw their
bodies in the back of a pickuptruck and they touted them around while other
Mexicans slapped at the bodies in theback of the truck. Can you imagine

(01:17:06):
if any other country came to theUnited States and said, hey man,
you guys need to ratchet it back. You need to be more careful in
your response because innocent citizens are dying. And then there was polling data that
showed the Mexican citizens, even afterwe attacked them, still supported the government
to launched that attack because we havethat polling data from the Palestinian people.

(01:17:30):
Can you imagine what we as Americanswould say to another country that said,
hey man, you got to ratchetthat back or we're not going to support
you. We would give them themiddle finger, so hard, so hard.
And you know what else we woulddo. We would annex all of
Mexico. We would say, youknow what, Mexico, you can't control
the cartels and your government is outof control, coming to attack us.

(01:17:53):
We're going to take your country andthere's nothing you can do about it.
And everybody who stood up to tellus we were doing it wrong, we
would tell them to froid off.And yet when that's what happens in Israel,
when that attack is launched, whenthose people are murdered in that way
by an organization who's founding documents saythat it is the responsibility of the Palestinian

(01:18:15):
people to murder Jews at every turn. And the same people that say not
that there should be a two statesolution, but that Israel doesn't have a
right to exist, and you're goingto sit here from the White House and
tell them that they need to backoff in fighting, that they need to
take it down a peg. Imean, we've got some nerve. Lest

(01:18:38):
we forget that as we well,as we disastrously left Afghanistan. Our drones
strike killed a family of eleven whowere putting water into their car. And
you know what Joe Biden did,the outraged Joe Biden, who's outraged now
about a horrible attack that killed AIDworkers, which is terrible. I'm not
giving Israel a pass on this,but you know what Joe Biden, after

(01:19:00):
we killed a family of eleven witha drone strike, he went on vacation
to Delaware. That's how broken uphe was about it, That's how infuriated
he was. So the what aboutism is necessary in this case because Israel
has always been held to a higherstandard than anybody else. Absolutely not.
They have always been treated differently,and I think they're just at the point

(01:19:25):
now where they don't care. Theydon't care what you say, because there's
a lot of people in Israel whostill remember the mindset of the creation of
Israel was necessary because when Jews werebeing slaughtered in Europe, flaughtered thrown into
ovens, and starved and thrown intomass graves and having their hair and their

(01:19:48):
shoes stolen and all of their possessionstaken. Nobody saved them, nobody came
to help them, and they werenever going to put themselves in a position
to have to rely on someone elseto protect them. Ever. Again,
that is why we have Israel,and that is the mindset in Israel.

(01:20:09):
So if you don't understand why theybasically don't give a crap what Joe Biden
says, I mean, I know, I don't. That's why because the
United States of America sat and watchedsix million Jews get slaughtered and didn't do
a damn thing. So yeah,they're going to take care of their own.
They're going to take care of themselves. And I don't think it matters
what iota what Joe Biden thinks orsays. Now interesting stuff though, in

(01:20:31):
Israel there have now been protests antigovernment protests. They want net Yahoo out
and you know, I have totrust the people of Israel. Like if
you reelected him, if you wantto unelect him, if you want to
bounce him out office, that's fine. I don't have a dog in that
fight. But I find it hardto believe that anyone would become the prime
Minister of Israel and all of asudden reverse course and all of a sudden

(01:20:57):
say, you know what, We'renot going to continue fighting because here's the
thing, you guys. If theydon't end this now, it will never
end. It's never going to enduntil they bring ams to their knees,
until they kill every single part oftheir leadership, until they make sure they
cannot operate ever again. In thetunnels below Gaza, that they took millions

(01:21:21):
and millions of dollars of international aidand instead of helping the Palestinian people build
a community with an economy and waterproduction and electricity production, they used it
to build tunnels with the sole purposeof attacking Israel. And until they destroy
it from I mean, root itout, kill it all, it will
never change. So that's a littlehistory lesson for you, for these idiots,

(01:21:45):
these young skulls full of mush thatbelieves somehow the answer is to,
you know, just go easy onthem and it'll be fine. They don't
really, it's fine, it's great, it's great. This person said,
I think you're wrong about Mexico attackingArizona. The modern Democrats would support Mexico
over a red state like Arizona.Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.

(01:22:12):
Anyway, Ryan Everards just came inthe studio right now, Ryan,
we're gonna be downtown tomorrow for openingday, and for once, the weather
is going to be glorious, glorious, It's fantastic. I'm a little bit
torn right now. I'm like,tomorrow would possibly be a short stay,
but it's going to be cold whenRoss and I get there, right you,
guys, I don't know. I'mnot a shorts person, so you're

(01:22:34):
asking the wrong person. Wait aminute, you're not a shorts person.
Why don't you do shorts? Whatdo you have? Chicken legs? It's
just this thing I don't. Idon't like shorts. I don't like the
wind blowing through. I don't knowif you never wonder why him and Dragon
just hate each other. Well knewthat. I see him circling each other
in the parking lot for years,like swinging everyone. I've never met a
man. I don't think he doesn't. When you go home, you don't

(01:22:58):
put shorts on, like Jim shortsor anything like. I do not.
I'm scared of redheads. That's whyno, No, are you married to
a redhead? Redhead? Yeah?There so no. I I put up
sweatpants, you know, so itdoesn't matter what time of year. I'm
good. There you. I wearflannel all the time. This shouldn't surprise
you. I'm actually I'm a littlethis out of everything I've learned about Ryan

(01:23:21):
Edwards, this is the thing thatmade me go one hundred degrees. Did
not say, like seriously, likemiddle of summer humidity? Yeah, for
good, great, I don't haveto wear it starts, but I don't
have to wear sunscreen either, andI don't have to worry about cancer.
But when did this start? Likewhen you were a kid? Were you
anti shorts? Were you like youngSheldon and you never were short? I

(01:23:42):
mean but even in young Shelter.I wear shorts in my twenties, and
I don't know, I just kindof grout of it. I'm your flabbergast
on this right now. My husbandwould wear shorts everywhere if I like,
he has dress shorts. Yes thathe's like, I'll put these on when
we're going someplace now. But puttinghim in pants, he's very unhappy.
My dad's the same way. Mydad wore shorts literally everywhere, and he

(01:24:04):
would have worn him to work evenas a forester. So it's not genetic.
It's not genetic. I don't know. I just it's not it.
It's not a thing I don't.I don't own shorts. I don't own
shorts. I don't wear shorts.I am so like if I bet you,
like we could have a bet onsomething, and I would be like,
you have to wear shorts for aday. Ooh, you wouldn't take
the bet. I'd have to gobuy shorts first. Huh. I might

(01:24:26):
have some like sweat shorts somewhere likeburied in the Yeah, that's somebody hues.
But I don't know. You wearshorts, right, you know I
do not that often, but Ido not often. I like that you
went on a cruise, right,so you're gonna, oh, yeah,
I'm not crazy, Okay. Iwear swim now. I wear swim trunks
because I mean, like, youhave to wear you know, like thirty

(01:24:47):
thirty seven day, thirty seven daysto as cruise. No, I'm I'm
I guess growing up in Florida,this is the most foreign concept. I
have friends that don't wear actual shoes. I have a friend who went to
to a school in Boston with onlyflip flops in the middle of winter in
Boston and walk through the snow withflip flops. So my people are the

(01:25:08):
opposite. I just I'm always preparedwith pants, like in jeans, like
I like, no matter what ishappening with the weather, I'm good with
it. And then if I hadto roll them up or something like that,
and I guess I deal with that. You can never do that anyway
around, like Buster or Brown withyour cuffs on your jeans. How far
I could carry that? But god, hey, hey, Ryan, let's

(01:25:32):
get some Let's go get some shellfishover there. Yeah, a flood or
something. What do you guys havecoming up on K Sports? Oh man,
we're gonna have a lot of funtoday. Stand by the shorts thing,
I'm I'm a little fuddled right now. I get that a lot.
There's a lot of things that Isay on that show and otherwise that people
are like, I can't believe thisis the thing you actually live it.
So no, no, we're gonnahave some fun. Obviously, we're we're

(01:25:55):
three weeks away from the draft,so we have a lot of draft stuff
to get to. The Nuggets playingfor a top three seed tonight if they
get that win, and we're goingto continue a little bit of conversation with
the Chiefs stadium stuff. That wasit. That was a very interesting outcome.
But to you, I actually thinkthat public sentiment across the country has
turned against this because there's too muchdata that shows that it never quite pans

(01:26:19):
out for the average taxpayer the waythey say it's going to. If you
want to throw in a free gamea year just for the taxpayers, you
know, like Denver Zoo does that, you know, I know it's not
feasible, but the reality is isthat most people are like, I can't
afford to go to a game.No, and listen, I understand it.
And Alfred certainly was arguing from thatside. I guess I come back

(01:26:41):
to the other thing, and theChief's kind of intimated a little bit that
hey, we'll do what's the bestinterest of our time. We may consider
moving all those kinds of things,And I guess I would never want to
risk that because I know what itmeans for the local economy to have an
NFL team, right. I justimagine Denver without the Broncos, like And
that was something that had Bowling didsort of threaten at the time, Hey,

(01:27:02):
if this doesn't pass, why wemight consider our options here. And
it's like, can you imagine Denverlast twenty years without an NFL team and
