Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock,
accident and injury lawyers. Well, no, it's Mandy Connell and
Connall KA ninety m god.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Say, can the nicey's through? Three many Connell keeping sadda Welcome, Welcome,
Welcome to a Thursday edition of the show. It's a
very short show. We've got Rockies Baseball coming up at
twelve thirty. Thanks to Grant for being here because a
Rod worked the morning shift, and we're gonna rip through

(00:39):
a half hour and I'm gonna tell you we're gonna
do the blog here in just a second. What is
not on the blog is anything about the court ruling
that leaves the True Clown Show in charge of the
Colorado Republican Party. Needless to say, I'm going to have
some things about that tomorrow. But if you just didn't
hear the end of Ross's show being hosted by Jimmy Sangenberger,

(00:59):
I really did it this time. I actually managed to
change my party affiliation because I'm done and I don't
have anything in common with the people on the Central
Committee who want to keep Dave Williams in power. Because
I want to win races. I want to be successful.

(01:20):
I want to have a respectable, decently sized conservative pushback
in the legislature, and we don't want the same things.
So the old adage I did not leave the Republican Party.
The Republican Party in Colorado has most certainly left me.
So that's just a little sipet of what we're talking
to tomorrow. But today I got a lot of stuff

(01:41):
on the blog, even though we've only got let's see here,
eighteen more minutes left. So let's jump right in. Go
to mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look for
the headline that says nine to twenty six twenty four
blog say a little prayer for Florida today. Click on
that and here are the headlines you will find within.
I didn't listening office half of American all with ships

(02:02):
and clipments and say that's got a press plant today
on the blog, let's all say a little prayer for
Florida today. Got an Express lane violation? Gavin Newsom can
just calm down? Could a Nordic spa be coming to
Doug Coo? More stars of the Aurora Apartment Complex video
are identified, and who always breaks the ceasefire like to

(02:24):
lie still and want free Elitch's tickets. Hey, lefties, they've
already tried to kill him twice. New York's mayor has
been indicted to get what you want, shut up, insider
trading or a lucky coincidence. Rural Americans don't live as long.
The ten reasons to abolish the Department of Education. Jordan
Peterson analyzes Trump and Harris, Life advice from a ninety

(02:45):
five year old, and this comedy spoke to me. Those
are the headlines on the blog Mandy's blog dot com.
And to those of you lighting up the text line
h pointing out that I said, decent Republicans need to
take a stand, so I whitched my affiliation. Yeah, okay,
that makes sense. The Central Committee is beholden to Dave

(03:06):
Williams for whatever reason. I think everyone that is still
supporting this man is utterly and completely delusional. And when
the Republican Party completely disappears from the Colorado landscape in
any meaningful way, you'll have no one to blame but yourselves.
So there you go. I've got videos on the blog

(03:27):
today that are really good. I will tell you that
Ted Alexandro's comedy, it's got some salty language in it,
but it's very, very funny, and it really did speak
to me today. So U, I have wisdom from a
woman who is ninety six years old and she is
doing push ups. So now, after I was complained about
it yesterday, now I got a ninety six year old

(03:48):
woman doing push ups at ninety six and I'm thinking
to myself, shut up, Buttercup, and do the damn push ups.
Come on, come on. Now here are the high points
on the blog today. I would ask you, if you
are the prayer ful sort, if you are the spiritual
kind who likes to send good juju, send it to

(04:08):
the Panhandle of Florida, and that these are my old
stomping grounds. I have a lot of friends who live
in the general vicinity and in the specific like straight
line of this hurricane, and it is going to be very,
very devastating. The only good news is it's really fast moving,
so hopefully it will be a short lived, miserable evening
for the people of Florida. But if you could send

(04:30):
them some good energies, some good juju prayers for you know,
the least damage possible, I would appreciate that. So I
got an email the other day from a guy who
got a lane violation on one of the express lanes
and he had crossed the white lines and I said,
did you cross the double white lines? And he said, yes,
I did, Well, you did break the rules. But he

(04:52):
was saying, look, I didn't even get a chance to
argue my case because what happened was he couldn't get
in in the entrance period, so he entered and then
remained in the express lane, so he was paying the
tolls as he went. He just crossed at the wrong
point to get in. So now there's a story about
how the system on these lanes is actually set up,

(05:13):
and it seems incredibly stacked against anyone who gets a ticket,
Like there's no real meaningful way to appeal, and the
people that you're appealing to can't listen to reasonable explanations
and change mind, right. I mean, they don't have the
power to say you don't have to pay this ticket,

(05:34):
which is absurd. So it's like, what are we doing here?
And I feel like that is rife for a lawsuit
of some sort. You cannot face your accuser in court.
It's all done via mediation, and I just this stinks.
I mean it stinks. I despise the mediation clauses that
are in everything now, and I know exactly why they

(05:56):
do it. If you don't know what this is, if
you have assigned any kind of contract, and I mean
for a cell phone, for pretty much anything. If you've
purchased a refrigerator at a big box store, somewhere in
the contract you signed it probably has a clause that says,
if there's legal action, it has to go through a mediator,

(06:16):
and that robs us of our ability to seek redress
in front of a jury. I hate it, but it's
a money saving thing, right, It's a cost saving thing.
It also dissuades people from filing stupid lawsuits.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Right.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
But this is a governmental entity on behalf of the
government that is stripping away our rights to seek actual
redress in front of a judge who has the power
to overturn a ticket. It's kind of crazy. You got
to read that on the blog today. Didn't mean to
go on that long about that, but when I saw

(06:52):
this story the other day, I was like, first of all,
I feel sorry for the people in Roxboro Park who
are now fighting this, because I'm gonna let you you
know right now, you're fighting losing bottle because everything in
Douglas County that is attached around or near a neighborhood
that is not green space is eventually going to be captured, right,

(07:12):
It's going to be taken and is going to be
developed in some way, shape or form. And Roxburgh Park's great,
it's beautiful over there. Well, now a developer wants to
build either a Nordic spa or some more houses out there,
and everybody's freaking out. There's a lot of boring stuff
about access and things like that, But is anybody else

(07:33):
excited about the possibility of a Nordic spa anywhere in
the metro? Do we have a Nordic spa? Grant see
if we have the Nordic spa somewhere, look it up,
use the Google because I know that there's a Russian
like spa in Parker by the there's a big King

(07:54):
super like in that area. There's a Russian spa where
they'll hit you with reeds. I'd like to know more
about this hitting with the reads, but it's a thing.
It's a Russian thing. So a Nordic spa got all excited.
So I'm sorry about the people who are being displaced.
Let me just say this because I went through this
in my neighborhood. When I bought my house in my neighborhood,
there was a really big patch of green space and

(08:18):
it was not protected green space. And eventually they started
to develop it and a lot of the neighbors got
really mad and did some dumb things and really created problems,
and ultimately the land was going to be developed. But
somebody pointed out, like all of the neighbors we had
thirty five years or forty years to buy the property,
right Like we could have all gotten together as a

(08:39):
community and said, hey, we're going to buy that property
and keep it green space. But we didn't. And that's
if you live in a beautiful neighborhood that has space
that could be developed, get with your neighbors talk about
buying it, because otherwise it's going to be developed. And
if it's going to be a Nordic spa, I'm going totally.
I Am absolutely going. So you may not have seen,

(09:01):
but Joe Biden came out of his vacation chair to
ask that, or rather demand, ask demand whatever I mean,
you could take it however you want. He is asking
for an immediate cease fire in Lebanon between Israel and
Hezblah to allow for diplomacy and any interference, any interference

(09:31):
in the way Israel is fighting this war is ridiculous
because they have dealt with us, their staunchest ally, staunchest
ally holding back weapons from them, talking about holding more
weapons from them before eventually delivering them. But they have
had to deal with our waffling because of the lack

(09:55):
of leadership on this issue in this country. And so
why would they listen to us for for a second?
I mean, why why would he? Why why would he?
Because if I was Israel, I would just send back
a laughing emoji, like the laughing crying emoji. That's what
I would send back. And by the way, Israel has
already said, no, thank you, we're good. We'll just execute

(10:17):
this war the way we're gonna execute this war. Because
here is my assessment of what is happening right now.
Israel has sufficiently neutered hamas. Notice we're not hearing anything
about what's happening in Gaza right now. It's because there
are so few of hamas left in Gaza there now
just probably going tunnel to tunnel clearing everything and busting

(10:38):
up the rest of the tunnels. So that is almost done, right,
And so you've had Hesbela lobbing rockets at Israel. All
of the northern border cities in Israel have been evacuated.
So there's sins of thousands of Jews that have been evacuated.
They might be ara of Israelis, I don't know, but
they're not in their homes. And the only way to

(11:01):
make that stop is to completely newter hezbolah. So what
has Israel been doing. They've been just surgically taking out
houses that held cruise missiles. They have been bombing strategic
buildings that are full of ammunition. And now they're going
to listen to the United States where we've been waffling

(11:21):
on our support, where we have anti Semitic protests on
college campuses. I mean, come on, So Israel's just like, yeah, no,
thanks were good, were absolutely good. So yeah, that's gonna
go well. And I just want to point this out.
I went back and looked for this today and was unable.

(11:43):
I spent about twenty five minutes trying to find any instance,
any instance where Israel was the one who broke the
ceasefire and could not find any Israel is not the
one who.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
Starts firing rockets, So why in the world should they subject,
you know, subject themselves to a ceasefire that just allows
Hezbollah to get re armed from Iran.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
They're doing it, they're in it to win it. They're
not They're done playing, you know, they're just done playing.
They don't care. They just don't care. On the blog today,
I have a post from the View and Joe Biden
finally found time to stop by the View. He looked

(12:32):
just as dazed and confused as he normally does. But
I want to let you hear this exchange with Whoopi
Goldberg to Joe Biden, and then I'll tell you what.
You'll hear a little thump and I'll tell you what
that was.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Then he just wouldn't go.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
It was like a bug. He just kept being there. Well,
hang on, guys, it was like a like a bug
right there. So you felt, yeah, you know, whoo pee
Goldberg is calling Trump a bug buzzing around and then
Joe Biden smacks the table like he's smacking a bug.

(13:11):
I did they already forget about the two assassination attempts?
How quickly m so weird, absolutely weird, Mandy. If Israel
wasn't receiving billions in aid from the US, they wouldn't
pay heed. They would have to pay heed to the
Biden administration. And they're not. That's the thing they're not.
People think that we are somehow funding Israel's plans and

(13:35):
that we are a foreign aid to Israel. If we
stopped it, it would somehow cripple them. The foreign aid
we give to Israel almost eat all of it immediately
comes back to the United States and defense contracts, so
it's basically welfare for defense contractors that get cycled through
a foreign country that is currently in a war. So

(13:56):
if we stopped with the foreign aid, Israel has the
money to pay cash money, they can do it. So Yeah,
if Hamas is completely demolished in Gaza, then where are
the hostages? I said, they're in the tunnels. They're looking
for the rest of it collapsing the rest. I think
they're all underground, all of them, including the hostages. I

(14:18):
think you maybe underestimate how many miles of tunnels are
underneath Gaza. I mean like three four hundred miles of tunnels.
So it's taken a hot minute plus they're all booby trapped,
so you can't just roll in there and kind of
go through it, you know what I mean. Anyway, Dear Mandy,

(14:41):
this is Stephen Firestone. I'm going to bestow the highest
honor I can give you by giving you my vote
on the proposal to clump all the candidates in one primary.
I don't understand it too well, so I'm trusting you
with this decision. Thank you for being you well, especially
after what happened today with the Republic, I am all
in for rank choice voting, not just because of that,

(15:03):
but because what we have now is so unsatisfactory for
people that do not march lockstep with either party. It's
just so unsatisfactory. Another thing that is not like excitingly satisfactory.
That kind of is, but it's also there's parts of
this story that are distressing. So New York City Mayor
Eric Adams has been indicted, and this morning I was like, well,

(15:26):
you can indict a ham sandwich, which is true. Oh,
never forget, you can indict a ham sand You can
get an indictment for anything. Can you get a conviction? Well,
this morning, when I did the blog, they were very
dodgy about what he was actually being charged with. They
have since cleaned it up, and oh my goodness, it
is a very, very long list. So we'll have to

(15:49):
watch what happens with Mayor Eric Adams. But the sad
part about this story is that, actually, oh, oh my gosh,
I forgot about this text exchange I had with a
friend of mine this morning one moment. She lives in
New York City. She said, our mayor has been indicted
and I said, but they are being super clear about
what he's done. I find that fishy. She said bribes,

(16:12):
and I said, yeah, but no details. I'm no fan
of his, but I'm suspicious of political indictments on the face.
Isn't that a terrible awful thing to think that we
have to wait to find out if this was some politicized,
trumped up charge against a Democrat mayor that I honestly

(16:32):
think is doing a terrible job, just a terrible job.
So it is going to be very very interesting to see. Eh. Yeah,
with rane choice voting, the top winners will all be Democrats,
not in Republican areas. You guys, right now, if you're

(16:53):
laboring under the illusion in some districts that if there's
a d in an R ballot, they stand an equal chance. No, no,
not even remotely. Candidates are gonna have to campaign, right though.
That's I'm gonna say that they're gonna have to stop
campaigning in such a partisan matter and really make the

(17:17):
case for themselves rather than trying to tear down everybody else.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Fun story on the blog. But I'm sure it's just
a coincidence. Paul Pelosi rumer him. He's Nancy Pelosi's husband.
He is a trader, by I mean that's his He
works the market. That is his job. So apparently, less
than three months before the credit card giant was slapped
with federal antitrust charges, Nancy Pelosi's husband unloaded more than

(17:44):
five hundred thousand dollars worth of Visa stock. Visa was
it with a lawsuit on Tuesday that alleged the company
has illegally monopolized the debit card market, and Visa allegedly
used its dominant market position to penalize customers and merchants
use competing payment processors. So coincidence. This is one of

(18:08):
those things where I don't believe in coincidences. When high
ranking politicians of either political party do something that profits
them greatly, right before some government action is taken. I
don't trust that. I mean, man, Mandy, I emailed Colorado

(18:30):
Cocoa Pod yesterday. She won't deliver it. Still, it's cooler.
That's the Dubai Chocolate Bar. However, she will have a
pop up on Sunday at Resolute Brewery in Arvada. They
have many yummy chocolates on their website. Thank you for
letting me know that. All right, kids, we're gonna make
room for Rockies baseball because that's what we do, just

(18:51):
to be kind, you know, be kind. Rewind tomorrow, obviously,
I'll have a lot more on what's happening with the
Colorado Republican Party, of which I am no longer remember.
But right now, Rockies, Charlie Blackman's last season. It's almost over,
ladies and gents, almost over. We'll be back tomorrow. Keep
it on, Koa
