(02:15):
affordable housing? What does the riverto the sea mean to protesters?
Those are the headlines on the blogat mandy'sblog dot com. And oh boy,
do I have some good stuff inhere. Now. I know not
all of you are baseball fans.And to the Texter who said, I
hope there's an of the Day whenyou finish today, because I only have

(02:35):
about seventeen minutes left, I amnot going to do of the Day today,
so you're gonna have to wait tilltomorrow because I've got a jam packed
seventeen minutes to talk about. Now. I know many of you are not
baseball fans, and you get supersalty when they pre empt my show to
give you baseball. But on theblog today, I've got some really good
videos to watch, including one fromHuberman Labs about how to build motivation and

(03:00):
he talks to doctor Adam Grant,who I love this guy and they the
thing I love, and you knowI love the Hubrean Labs podcast. The
thing I love is that they talkabout the scientific part of motivation and if
you have trouble getting motivated, andthis is something that I have had difficulty
with in the past, and insome circumstances I still struggle with in certain

(03:20):
areas of my life, but farfewer than I used to. There are
ways to help you build your motivationmuscle. And the more you force yourself
to do things that you must dobut you don't want to do, it
actually creates a part of your brain. It doesn't create the part, but
it helps a part of your brainresponsible for motivation and willpower grow and once

(03:44):
it grows, it never gets smaller. And the science around that is fascinating.
And this is a snippet of thelonger interview with doctor Adam Grant,
because if there's one thing I wouldknock Andrew Huberman about, it's that,
My god, his podcasts are long. They're like seventy bajillion hours long.
I'm like, do I have thiskind of time, doctor Huberman? I
do not, But he makes snippetsof these podcasts and you can got to

(04:09):
get a little bit of a feelfor what's going on. And this is
a really good one on how tobuild motivation I also have a fun video
where they went to West Hollywood wherethey're about to build a quote high rise.
I think it's like seven stories.It's not a skyscraper by any stretch
of the imagination of affordable housing units. And you think that in West Hollywood

(04:30):
it is just chock full of progressiveswho understand that it's important to provide affordable
housing for people because California has pricedeveryone out of the market, much like
here in Colorado. But this,of course is not that. This video
is those same progressives who say things. The statements start like this, I
understand the need for affordable housing,but and then whenever they say after the

(04:55):
butt pretty much negates the first partof that. But it's a really fun
nimby video. Oh, we needaffordable housing, but in someone else's neighborhood.
That's what we need in someone else'sneighborhood. And then I have Constantine
Kissick from the Triggernometry podcast asking peopleat a British pro Hamas protest what they

(05:15):
thought the signs that they were holdingactually meant. So he goes to protesters
and he's like, hey, you'reholding to sign this is from the river
to the sea. What does thatmean to you? And that's how we
ask the question what does that meanto you? The answers are staggeringly stupid,
mind blowingly stupid, just as youmight think. I tweeted out a

(05:40):
video yesterday of two young women whohad come down to NYU and an interviewer's
asking them, well, what exactlyis NYU doing that you want them to
stop? And I'm not kidding you. One of them says, uh,
I'm not really sure. I wishI was better educated about this. You're
at a bleeding protest, for God'ssake, and you have no idea what

(06:01):
you're actually doing there. This isbeyond absurd. I mean, this is
like those videos where they get peopleto sign a petition banning water by using
its actual scientific name. You know, h It's so just incredible, so

(06:23):
incredibly bad. Anyway, I haveother videos on the blog today. I
have a great video from the IndependenceInstitute. How much did that EXCEL induced
blackout actually cost? In real economicterms? You're gonna be absolutely blown away
by this video, and then you'regonna go out and buy a generator.
I'm just saying fix at twenty fourto seven, twenty percent off till the

(06:45):
end of April on Hell House generators, so that is on the blog as
well. And then I'm just gonnaplay this one because you may not have
heard this. Can I have mycomputer there? Thank you. This video
is of the Commander in Chief ofthe un United States of America, the
leader of the free world, thekeeper of the nuclear codes. And he's

(07:05):
giving a speech at some union organizationand Foundations for the Future or whatever.
It's some union NABTU whatever that is. And he's speaking, and I want
you to listen very carefully to whereright after he says four more and then
and then the speech writers wanted himto like take a minute to let the

(07:27):
crowd yell out years, right,so that just listen to what actually happens
here. Imagine what we can donext four more years par pa, He
says four more years. Pause.He literally read the word pause from the

(07:51):
teleprompter and did not realize that itwas designed for him to pause. Now,
the best part about this is ifyou've i've ever seen a speech in
a teleprompter when it has cues likethat, they actually put them in parentheses
so you know that it's a queue, not part of the speech. So
it was probably in parentheses and heread pause. But I'm sure it's fine.

(08:16):
I'm positive that there's nothing bad goingon. And his staff says he
is sharp as attack behind closed doors. Maybe he should start doing speeches from
behind closed doors. Maybe that wouldhelp. And the krem de la Creme
of videos on the blog today isfrom a fun event, a drag Queen

(08:37):
story Hour thrown by an organization calledValley Families for Palestine. I just want
to share with you, and I'mgonna I'm gonna paint this picture so you
can go to the blog at mandy'sblogdot com and pull it up and see
it yourself. I think I didsay Constantine kissen. Didn't I did?
I not? Somebody just tried tocorrect me. I said Kissen. In

(08:58):
any case, this uh drag queenwho's wearing a just a really super red
dress and she's got an orange wigon. I'm guessing there's some kind of
Annie connection because she kind of lookslike little orphan Annie in this get up.
So maybe her name is Annie WantsMe or something like that, because
the drag queens, generally speaking,have a sexually suggestive name or a funny

(09:20):
play on words or whatever. SoI want to play for you what went
down at this drag Queen story hourand just let you hear it. To
do what we're gonna gonna show,gonna hear that. Give you a dan
and you know it shall if you'rea drag man and you know it and

(09:41):
you really want to show it,you're a dragon and you know it shall,
That's what it is. So let'sjust review. Let me just let
me just go over what we justheard. Here we have a bunch of
little children sitting on the floor infront of a drag queen who is reading

(10:03):
a story about being a drag queen. And instead of having them shout,
you know, something like I'm adrag queen, which is honestly what I
think those prompts are supposed to mean, she then has them yell out free
Palestine instead. Now, I don'tknow if they brought little miniature bomb belts
in, little miniature machine guns sothey could pretend to be part of Hamas

(10:26):
at this library event. I'm notsure if that actually happened. But I
did do a little searching today onthe interwebs because I wanted to demonstrate my
point that I already knew to befact, which is in the Gaza strip,
homosexuality is not tolerated, and thathere's a fun fact. You guys
are gonna love this one. Startinglast year, Israel's courts decided that gay

(10:50):
and lesbian transgender people who are dragqueens they can actually apply for and be
granted asylum in for It Israel,so they can be safe from hamas who
would see them dead because they aregay. I mean, these people are
the dumbest, most idiotic morons thatI have ever seen. And you guys,

(11:16):
I'm trying in my life, andI've talked about this on the air.
I'm trying not to be judgmental.I'm trying to love my fellow humans,
whether I agree with them or not. I'm trying to extend that love.
But this kind of indoctrination where youare convincing children to be on the
side of a murderous regime that hasbeen named a terrorist organization that cut the

(11:39):
heads off Israeli citizens with a hoe, that raped and murdered women indiscriminately.
That is who you want your childrento be on the side of. If
these were children in a library andthere was a guy standing up front,
and he said, Hey, youknow what, today, we're not gonna

(12:00):
say whatever we're supposed to say.We're gonna say white power. And all
these little children are sitting there andthis guy is standing up there and he's
like, if you're a proud dragqueen, say and all the little kids
go white power? Is this anydifferent? This ideology is as toxic.

(12:20):
Wow, I mean wow, it'sabsolutely insane. And no to the text
he said, I wonder if shecould read in Palaestin know she absolutely could
not. Now I want to beclear. In the West Bank you don't
get murdered per se for being gay, but you are shunned. But in

(12:41):
Gaza it's perfectly acceptable if you havea gay family member to kill them in
an honor killing. That's perfectly fine. One hundred. As a matter of
fact, one leader of Hamas wasactually murdered for having sex with another man.
There you go, there you go. Now this is really, really,

(13:01):
really funny. Now do a segmenton all the crazy stuff churches make
children recite. Yeah, Christianity,that stuff's really bad. All that turn
the other cheek, all that youknow, minister to the poor, all
that love that neighbor. All thatcrap that's so bad, that's awful.
If you can find me a Christianchurch or church really of any kind in

(13:26):
the United States of America that takesits kindergarteners and teaches them to be a
martyr for Allah is the highest thingyou can aspire to. Because we have
video of Hamas taking the little theirlittle kindergarteners and putting them in bomb belts
so they can pretend to be suicidebombers, and they give them little tiny
machine guns that they can strap acrosstheir back, and they show little children

(13:48):
being taught to clear a building ofthose dirty Israelis. If you can show
me that happening in a Christian church, you can make your snotty comment.
But you can't. I mean,I hate to say it, but the
only faith in the United States,and there are so many, so many,
many, many many faiths, theonly one that I could think of
where that could possibly happen would bein a Muslim space. I don't think

(14:13):
it's happening. I have to havefaith that you know, our Muslim spaces
in the United States don't teach theculture of death. But now, first
of all, the parents who tooktheir children to this. I hope your
children grow up to be Republicans.That's the curse I wish on you.

(14:35):
I hope they grow up and theyjoin young Republicans in college and they never
look back because they'll realize how absolutelyabsurd what you're doing is you're on the
side of evil, and now you'reteaching your children to be on the side
of evil. This textter said,So if drag Queen's promoting Hamas is okay
in school, does that mean Icould go in there and have them say

(14:56):
the Lord's Prayer? Actually, Ibelieve this in a public library, so
it is not happening in schools.It is happening in a public library.
So there you go. There youhave it now. Also on the blog
today, because I do what timedo I need to be out, Jeff,
I should have asked you that beforewe got on the air. Get
a couple few minutes. Still,okay, we have a lot of good

(15:18):
news on the blog today. ColoradoBreweries just had a great showing at the
Beer World Cup. And if you'rea beer drinker, there's a whole bunch
of beers on this list. ThenI'm going to try because I still I
love beer. You know, I'vekind of given up drinking for the most
part, and the reality is isthat the only alcohol I miss is beer.

(15:39):
And there's some really good looking beers, but like, I'm just gonna
skip the extra strong, bitterer beer. I don't want that. I don't
understand why the goal of some beersis to taste as bad as possible.
Are you a beer guy, Jeff, oh a huge beer guy? Okay?
What are your favorite varieties of beer? Oh? I love ambers like
ales, IPAs. Are you asour guy or any other? And I

(16:00):
can't do sour, not as much. I don't not as much on the
sour occasionally make Here's the thing aboutIPAs. You can have an ipa that
is absolutely delightful. You order adifferent ipa from the same bar and it
tastes like a bag of grass clippingswas fermented to make beer, and it's
awful and undrinkable. It's so unknowingyou have no idea what you're about to
get. It's hard to find newIPAs because I'm too afraid to order them

(16:22):
in a bar. A lot oftimes I'll just ask for a taste before
I order it. Like, Igotta have a taste to this, So
there you go, There you go. We also have an update ranchers cannot
kill wolves. Colorado Parks and Wildlifehave come out and said that the wolves
in question appear to be denning,which means that they are reproducing and are

(16:45):
making little wolves. Interesting fun factthough, apparently the wolves have made their
way over to the Front Range andthey've been seen around Rocky Mountain National Park
according to their callers, do theynot know that the Front Range people voted
for them to be not on theFront Range? Did they not get the
little wolf memo? Should we havesigned it with a pawprint to get through

(17:07):
to them? I don't know.We'll just see when someone's dog gets killed
by a wolf. That'll be fun. I'm not saying I hope it's someone
in Bolder, but I hope it'ssomeone in Bolder. Couple editorials that I
want you to read today, oneof them about how the cuts to public
safety are actually walking the City ofDenver back from a promise made by the
mayor to bring our staffing levels atDPD up to where they're supposed to be.

(17:32):
We've got that on the blog today. Great great, great story well
done by CBS here locally about afamily who have a severely mentally ill daughter.
She is twenty four years old.And the story lays out so clearly
the helplessness that families feel when itcomes to getting an adult child help or

(17:55):
institutionalization that they need to stay alive. And it is heartbreaking. But if
you ever wondered, like if youever see someone on the streets that is
clearly having a psychotic break and yougo to yourself, where's their family?
Read this article you will understand howhelpless the families really are. All Right,
guys, we are going to turnthis over to the Colorado Rockies.

(18:17):
We will be back tomorrow with afull show and I've already got great guest
scheduled, so enjoy the rest ofyour day. I got you plenty of
stuff to read on the blog todaymandy'sblog dot com and keep it right here on KOA
