(00:24):
Sad bab Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to a Wednesday edition of
the show. And this is going to be an extremely
short edition of the show. I am joined for my
big half hour with Anthony Rodriguez. You can call him
a Rod. Yeah, we don't have time to play the
longer version today. Rod, Let's say, don't keep a tight,
keep a tight, because we had a stop. Stop it stop.

(00:48):
You're wasting precious minutes of airtime and we have so
few of them. Let's do that. Let's do the blog
by going to mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com.
Look for the headline and it says nine eighteen twenty
four blog tiny show but full blog. Click on that
and here are the headlines you will find within. I

(01:09):
think you's in office, half American and all with ships
and clipments and seen that's court a press plat today
on the blog what will the Fed do? Speeding towards
the assassination? More details on the hesband of Pager story.
Caraveo is having to dig deep to attack Gabe Evans. Yes,
slum lords own the buildings. I wonder who is seeking

(01:31):
uninsured medical care. Denver says they will spend less on
illegal immigrants next year. Arvada is about to do something.
Stupid strippers need wage protection too. Good luck suing Casabanita.
I guess it won't ruin the tour after all. Just
say no to the slaughterhouse. Ban Texas is going after TDA.
Why are we at peak stress looking for funfall events?

(01:54):
CNN could be in big trouble. Is America racist? More
sheep hurting video? And if you've been considering the ten
ex program, those are the headlines on the blog at
mandy'sblog dot com. And if you're one of those saucy
blog readers, they're gonna send me a message saying the
blog today's really short. Well, I'm haf with you the
show already. It is not huge. It's a very small blog.

(02:17):
It's a very small blog, probably done by the Clintons.
They do small things over there in the Clinton the
Biden camp, small things, very small things. Now, after I
wrote the blog today, New News broke because I have
a kind of an update on the Hesbala pager's blowing
up yesterday, and I just if you listened to the

(02:39):
Cross Talk with Jimmy Sangenberger, who's filling in for Ross,
we were talking about the long term ramifications of this situation. Woo,
you guys. The Federal Reserve just cut interest rates fifty
basis points, that is zero point five percent in the
grand scheme of it. And that's a big deal. That's

(03:02):
a big cut. That's a really big cut. As a
matter of fact, the smaller cut, the point two five percent,
would be a more conservative cut. But obviously the jobs
numbers of the past few months have the Fed concerned.
And there are some other economic indicators in the economy

(03:22):
that are not great. Credit card debt is skyrocketing, defaults
on car loans and credit card debt are going up.
Not significant. We're not talking in you know, like fifty percent. No,
it's but it's like seven percent, ten percent, thirteen percent
people paying late. So there are some beacons in the
economy that are not good. So the Fed has lowered

(03:45):
the rate by a half a percentage point. The decision
lowers the rate to about four point nine percent, that
down from its more than two decade high. So we'll
see if we get a soft landing. I have not
checked to see what the market is doing right now.
It is actually up on the news dramatically, like it

(04:07):
just popped up right after they made the announcement, so
good news. Yeah, we will see what happens there. But
right before the show broke, going back to what I
was just talking about, Uh, there is another attack in
Lebanon today, and this one involved walkie talkies that apparently

(04:28):
Hezbollah had given out to its fighters and the people
involved intimately in the Hesbela infrastructure because they had told
them all to stop using cell phones because the Israelis
contract cell phones. So then they got them all these
pagers from Taiwan that somehow someone we don't know who,
but let's just say it rhymes with misery. Real. I

(04:52):
think Israel has not taken any sort of credit for
these attacks, but really, who else is going to do it?
So here's what they think happened with the pagers and
obviously with they said of rocky talkies in a different way,
but the same way. So Hesbela orders a ton of
pagers because they're going straight back to the nineteen eighties, right,

(05:12):
and they ordered these pagers from a Taiwanese company, and
at some point after they left the Taiwanese company and
before they were delivered to Hesbola, somewhat probably Israel got
a hold of them, added a small amount of explosives
and a trigger code, and yesterday they set them all off.

(05:33):
Now it's speculated that they believed that there the jig
was up. They believed that someone had begun to suspect
that something was in the pagers. So that's why they
ignited them when they did well today, follow up today
with more explosions because Hesbela, I guess it handed out
walkie talkies for people to communicate with because they don't

(05:55):
want anything that's connected to the web, they don't want
anything that's connected to the cloud. They don't want anything
that they think Israel can track. So now Israel has
blown up their two forms of communication that they could
use without being heard or seen by Israel. So now

(06:15):
now they're just going to be passing notes. Uh, carrier
pigeon might be an option. I really don't know what
they're going to do to communicate. But then this morning
I'm thinking about it, I'm like, wait a minute. So,
if I'm Israel and I'm about to roll a big
ass offensive into Lebanon, because you guys, we don't talk

(06:35):
about this, but Hesbela has been firing rockets at Israel
NonStop since October seventh, NonStop. Okay, the hoo thieves have
been trying. Now the who this have missiles that can
actually actually reach Israel, so that's a problem. But they've
been a firing missiles at Israel this entire time, and
as Israel has been handling Hamas and taking care of

(06:56):
that problem they've been dealing with with Hesbela firing rockets,
say in the entire time. Now, if I'm Israel and
I'm about to roll some kind of major offensive into Lebanon,
the first thing I need to do is knock out
their ability to communicate and mission accomplished. So it could
be nothing. It could just be Israel putting everyone in
the country of Lebanon on notice that they can get

(07:19):
them wherever they are and that no one is safe,
and it could just be you know, I don't know,
but wow, it's fascinating. And I said on the blog
it is like a Tom Clancy book what's going on
right now. I mean, the level of psychological warfare that's
taking place is it's just got to be if I

(07:42):
am a person living in Lebanon, especially someone connected to HESBLA,
and maybe a family member, maybe my husband, maybe me.
I don't know. I'm getting rid of anything electronic in
my house right now, like I'm not having anything. They
could be blown up from anywhere in my house. That
is not not going to happen. So we'll have a
bigger conversation about that tomorrow, trying to get some experts

(08:07):
on what's going on over there on the show tomorrow,
so we'll make that happen. Got some other stuff on
the blog that I want to get to. The Denver
Post did a great bit of journalism on the history
of CBZ management. They are the slum lords who have
been running these apartments in Aurora into the ground. And
as I've said the entire time, two things can be

(08:29):
true at once. The landlords can be slum lords and
gangs could have taken over these apartment buildings. Both of
those things can be true. So the Denver Post did
a really good deep dive on all of the code
violations going back years and not even they haven't even
owned these buildings that long. But when you see the
conditions that people were supposed to be living in this

(08:52):
in these apartments, with these landlords that refuse to fix anything,
I'm not saying they deserved it, but I'm saying, don't
we have this? I mean, we have we have housing support,
we have we have housing places, I mean departments of housing.
Why are these people allowed to continue to own any
buildings if this is what they're going to do. I

(09:15):
really it's baffling. But yes, they are Slan lords. And
I still believe that recently Venezuelan gangs were in control
of some of these apartment complexes. I still believe that
both of those things are true. So that's on my
blog today if you want to read it. It's a
great story. They did a really good job. I wonder,
just wonder, wonder, wonder what has happened in the past

(09:36):
couple of years that would make Denver Health have one
hundred and fifty five million dollars in uninsured care that
they are taking care of now, Just to give you
a perspective, just in the city of Denver. I'm not
I'm not going to do outside the city of Denver.
I'm just going to do outside the city of Denver,

(09:58):
or excuse me, inside the city of Denay. Were people
from the city of Denver. In twenty nineteen, there was
forty two million point one dollar forty two point one
million dollars in uncompensated care. Fast forward to twenty twenty four,
and that is one hundred and eighteen million dollars. And

(10:18):
when you factor in people from outside Denver, that us
Denver Health as the medical provider of last resort for
people who do not have health insurance. Although how does
no one have health insurance? When Obamacare was going to
solve that whole problem, it wasn't. It was never going
to do that. Oh so funny anyway, So this year

(10:39):
one hundred and fifty five million dollars in uncompensated care
now went up in twenty twenty two. It went up
to about one hundred and twenty million in twenty twenty two,
went up to one hundred and forty million in twenty
twenty three, and now it's one hundred and fifty five
million in twenty twenty four. Could be using these medical services?

(11:03):
Could it be all the people that have come here
over the southern border who probably have not had any
quality medical care in their entire lives and are now
coming here to have all of their illnesses treated because
they know they can do it for free. Just a thought,
Just a thought. Good news though, on the illegal immigrant front, y'all,
this show is going to be a head snapper because

(11:24):
I got a lot of stuff to get through and
I have how many minutes left? I've got five minutes left. Five.
So Denver is slashing the spending on illegal immigrants next year.
After spending almost one hundred million bucks this year, they
say they're only going to spend twelve million next year.
The reason the changes made at the border, taking border

(11:46):
the border security back to the Trump error rules has
slowed the flow of people coming over the southern border.
Isn't that weird? Isn't that so weird? When President Biden
finally decided to do something after years of not doing anything,
all of a sudden, there's fewer people coming over the
southern border. Now, what could be happening this year that

(12:08):
would have made him do that? Let's see, I think
he did it before he got stabbed in the back
by his fellow Democrats and bounced out of the race.
Yes he did, so good news, Denver Rights. You're not
going to be paying for the housing, training, cell phones,
computers of people who walked over the border illegally. You
will not be paying as much for that next year. Now.

(12:30):
I love the concept of a homeless navigation center. I
love it. I think it's the way to go where
you have all of these different agencies and all of
these different nonprofits under one roof, so homeless people can
be brought in and then sort of triaged right and
figure out what it is they need. Do they need
drug and alcohol help? Okay, we're going to send him

(12:50):
over here. Do they need mental health help, We're going
to send him over here. Do they just need to
help getting into the Veterans Benefit system so they can,
you know, get some help from the VA. We can
do that over here. I love the concept, but where
you put it is incredibly important. And Arvada is about
to make a bad choice. Okay, Arvada bought a building

(13:11):
that used to be a school, and the school, the
former Early College of Arvada, is in the Arlington Meadows neighborhood.
And I'm just gonna say this. They say this isn't
going to be a shelter, right, there's not a shelter.
But you're going to have a bunch of people who

(13:32):
are struggling so much that they're living on the street,
many of them with drug and alcohol probriate problems, many
of them with severe mental health issues. And you're going
to drop them into a neighborhood. That is not a
good idea. And if I live in that neighborhood, I
am at every meeting until you just say no, we're
not doing this. You can't put it in a place
where you can negatively affect the property values around you.

(13:54):
This is what's happening right now with the homeless hotels.
As the people who live on the other side of
that fence from neighborhood or from the homeless hotels, what's
going on there. It's not good. It's not good at all.
Good luck suing Casabanita. If you choke on a soap apia,
you have given up your right for a jury trial

(14:15):
just by signing their terms of use when you make
the reservation. Oh yeah, Casabanita has locked into what corporations
are doing left and right, which I think is fundamentally wrong,
which is saying you cannot sue us. If you want
to sue us, we will do it through mediation, and
we will pick the mediator. This is happening more and
more and more as corporations are using that as a

(14:38):
way to prevent lawsuits that could be costably public and expensive.
And I don't like it because there are they're taking
but you can't negotiate it. That's the thing. If you
want to go to Casabanita, you have to sign this.
It's not like you can go to Casabaneda and say, Okay,
look right, this is unreasonable. And this is in so many,

(15:00):
oh many contracts that you sign. And this is one
of those things where I feel like the corporations need
to be checked and they need to be checked and
someone needs to like push this because they're taking away
my right to seek redress in front of a jury
of my peers. And that's kind of a big deal.
I mean, it's a very big deal. So I don't

(15:21):
like that. Maybe I'll never go to Casabanita. I don't know.
I keep thinking I want to go, but then I
don't really and I'm sure, so I'm not going to
get in a line of people that's fifty thousand long
just to try and make a reservation. If somebody wants
to go to Casabanita and make the reservation and invite
me to come with you, I'll totally do that. Did
you ever go, AERD? I did not go when I

(15:42):
got that email, but it still allowed me to get
on the cool little VIP whatever, Founder's club, Founder's club whatever,
And apparently my parents informed I did go when I
was a kid. So right there, All right, guys, we
got to wrap it up because we got to do
some commercials and then the Rockies are going to play.
Hopefully they will beat their diamond again. They are playing that.
I'm in VECC today, right, that's Slyway day. Okay, hopefully

(16:03):
they'll do that again. We will be back tomorrow with
a full show. Keep it right here. Oh oh, I
got a minute? Wait, well you asked I asked you
what time and you told me earlier. Yeah, yeah, you
still got a minute. Someone didn't pay attention. You said
twenty one fifty two. I wrote it down like you said,
what your clock is wrong? What time is it in
your clock? In? Twenty one? Fifteen, twenty one, sixteen, twenty one, seventeen. Wow,

(16:28):
I'm a minute fast. That's weird. Okay, I do have
something at the bottom of the blog. First of all,
I have another sheep hurting video. If you have seen
the ads for the ten X program. Have you seen
any of these ads for the TENX fitness program by
Gary Breck? Okay, so watch the podcast at the bottom
of the blog. It's first of all, it's my brother's podcast,
and it's really good and he sort of started on

(16:50):
the ten X path and then is like, yeah, this
is not for everyone, and if you've seen all the ads,
you probably want to watch this before you do it.
