Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are back, and joining me now from the Sengenberger compound
is Junny Sengenberger, who has written a column today and
the Denver Gazette come out yesterday's epic clapback by Mayor
Mike Kaufman and the fake controversy ginned up by media
horror and racist s grifter Tay Anderson. I think that's
(00:20):
a pretty good introduction to what we're talking about here, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I think that fits pretty well. It has been just
an absolutely wild time, but that's what happens when Tay
Anderson decides to become a victim again and again and again.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, And I mean this is such a pattern of behavior,
it's comical, it really is. I mean, he's one step
away from becoming a slip and fall artist who just
makes a living slipping and falling in a Walmart and
then suing for just under the amount that Walmart will
settle for, you know what I mean. Like, that's how
he feels. He got run out of Denver. He got
(00:58):
run out of Denver, and now he has taken up
and taken up camp in Aurora.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
So, yeah, Mandy, what he has complained about slipping and
fall type situations before in a target or being pushed
by police.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
So actually, what.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You're saying has literally happened before.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Of course, of course it has. So what happened on
Monday night, let's start there.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, bottom line is Hey Anderson has been off the
board for the Denver School District for a little over
a year since with the end of November of twenty
twenty three, and since then he has really leaned into
his role as an activist and an agitator, and so
for months and months he and other so called protesters
(01:47):
have shown up at city council meetings in Aurora to
protest things a variety of different matters, but particularly the
death of Kylan Lewis, who was shot by police after
he did not abide by commands. It's a really tragic story,
but the guy was he was charged with attempted murder
(02:10):
of a sixty three year old blind man leading up
to his death. But they have treated the law enforcement
as though they.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Are guilty and responsible.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
And need to be held entirely accountable. So, needless to say,
they've shown up and they have consistently derailed meetings, derailed
town homes put on by city council members as.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Well you name it time and time again.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
At the very end of the meeting on Monday, a
guy who introduced himself as Ted d he spoke up
and threw a ton of s bombs. Ted deathbomb counter
is eight, because that's what you do when you're keeping
classy in your speeds to wrap things up. And it
(02:56):
was terrible, and clearly.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
That was sort of I think at least feels like
the last draw for Kaufman, who I.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Would surmise recognizes that this is tas doing. He's always
trying to put people up for a show. And he
went out there to after the meeting and confronted Tay
and was yelling at him over the death of and
lead up to the death of a seventeen year old
kid a few years ago in Denver public schools who
had shot two deans, a guy by the name of
(03:26):
Austin Lyle and later took his own life. And he
was like, you killed or you killed Austin Lyle because
your policies kept police out of schools.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
And he's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You have to think that a if Austin Lyle knew
that he was going to be padded down as he
was every day by police officers. He probably would have
thought twice about having a gun on his person when
he knew there was going to be padded down.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
He obviously thought he was going.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
To be able to get away with it because it
was two administrators and the entire situation is so avoidable.
Tay Anderson is fully responsible for that. What's interesting about
the whole thing you said about killing Lewis. John Killner
presented that case to the grand jury, so the grand
jury had an opportunity to indict those police officers, and
(04:15):
they did not. Mister Lewis had a rap sheet of violence,
and that at that point when police say turn around
and show us your hands. When you put your hand
in your pocket and then turn around, things are not
going to end. Well. What's really gross, and that's the
word I'm gonna use here, Jimmy, is that by continuing
to use killing Lewis to forward his own media wore tendencies,
(04:40):
Tay Anderson is not doing that family any favors. You know,
he is just keeping the pain of that death going.
He's picking the scab all the time for his own
self aggrandizement and I just think that's gross.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So what happened in the scene is that Kraffman approached
to Anderson and the protesters were singing a takeoff of
an old spiritual that they were using as a protest
song basically, and Kaufman was yelling at Anderson and then
showed up in front of Anderson, and that guy ted
Dee jumped in front of him and said, what the
eff are you doing? Who the f do you think
(05:16):
you are? And Tay made this all like, oh my gosh,
my life was in danger. I didn't know what that
what was going to happen?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And well what did they do?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
He was so dangerous that the group followed Kaufman out
of the room as he went to with.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The you know, Danielle Jarinsky city council woman put her
arm around his back and kind of led Kaufman out
of the room, and they, including Tay, followed him, continuing
to sing as he went to the elevator, and a
nearby police officer got in between them and walked up
to the mayor. There was no physical contact from anybody,
Tokay Anderson. There was no attack, There was nothing of
(05:52):
the sort. And if it was so dangerous, why.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Did they follow Kaufman to further antagonize them.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And this goes to the point you were just making,
because this is not about a grieving family and pain.
It is about putting on another show, nothing more and
nothing less.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And that's what's so disgusting about it, It really is.
Does he think he's going to run for office in Aurora?
Is that what he's ginning up for now now that
he's been I mean, let's just face it, he's been
dismissed from Denver, right. He ended his school board career
that was mired in controversy after he was found to
be you know, creepily contacting teenage girls and making sexually
(06:32):
aggressive passes while he was.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
On the school board, which is just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
He then decided he was going to run for a
house seat, and when it became clear that he stood
no chance of winning that, he's now vacated and moved
to Aurora. Do you think he's event Do you think
he's ginning up for some kind of political move in Aurora?
Or is he grifting successfully enough off of this community
organizer business to pay the bills without gofundmeeds to you know,
you know that he is famous for at.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
This point, and I think he likes being a professional activist.
I see him if he's going to run for something,
waiting a little bit in time. Maybe he'll see something
in the next year or two.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
But teller me skeptical about that at this point.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I think he's probably enjoying professional activism. But Mandy, you
were hitting at something, which is his tenure on the
school board. So much of it was really about and
I covered this very closely for years, about distraction and
making things about himself and being a disruption.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
And I'll just give you one example, because.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I was there for a particular meeting where they were
talking about whether or not I'm hearing public comment as
well about whether or not to bring back school resource
officers law enforcement to campuses, which Kay had took charge
in Banning in twenty twenty. They ultimately did no, thanks
to Anderson, who voted against it. But at this meeting
(07:56):
they had the Chief of Police, Ron Thomas there and
he was answering questions. But Michelle Quadobaum, one of Kay's
colleagues on the board who's still on the board, she
took eighteen minutes of that time, asked very few questions.
Mostly was going on about racism of police and all this.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And ultimately the school board president at the time, so
she got Tan cut her mic and then Tay.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Made a big fit about it and said, you know what, this.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Is oppressive, that's oppressive. Why don't you Mike His mic
was cut and he walked down to the staff and
pointing his finger.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Kind of like Mike Kaufman did today.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
The raveszeb come complying with the president of the school board.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
And this is a.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Guy who after Monday is complaining about aggression and how
Mike Koffman was treating him. And that's just one of
many examples of Tay Anderson's antics, like that, it must.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Be amazing to be Tay Anderson, who's not a small man,
and he's beached up a little bit over the last
few years. It must be terrifying to be him, to
run around sure that at any moment the mayor of
Aurora is gonna come after you and beat you up,
and you're completely incapable while you're surrounded by supporters of
defending yourself. He must live, I mean, he must just
(09:16):
be afraid to leave his house alone.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Well, I guess so, and I make the point that
relax on, Tay guess what.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It's probably not the case of the sixty.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Nine year old mayor is going to go mortal combat
on you.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I could be wrong, but it is a probably not
gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
But that's where I get to my.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Line in the piece that taking Kay Anderson seriously is
like debating a dad joke.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's pointless, over the top.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And guaranteed to make you grow.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
And I think that's true.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Yeah, amen to that.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
We are not even getting to the best part of
this whole story, and that is Mayor Mike Coffin cracked
back yesterday on Facebook and basically he said, Tay sit
down and shut up. I mean, he called him out
six ways to Sunday. It was a thing of beauty
to see someone not cower to Tay Anderson's threats of
(10:14):
I'm gonna call you a racist, I'm gonna accuse you
of racism, because Mike Coffin was basically like, you know what,
shut up, you got nothing for you and Aurora and
we really don't.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Need to hear anything more.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And I've never felt more proud of Mayor Coffin in
my life.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah, uh, oh me too.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I read that and I was like, very good, and
I went and shared it on multiple platforms. I'm look
at it this way. I have known Kaufinan since I
was sixteen and he was running for Secretary of State.
And if he gets in a way where he's fired
up passionately like this, like he was on Monday, and
then in his follow up, you know that he's got
(10:51):
something very specific in mind that has brought him to
that point. Because he's a very even keeled, level headed
kind of guy. And there are some people on the
right who've given him this reputation that he's some kind
of rhino who's.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Love me no, But this is a guy who's.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Just he's very shrewd, he's very shabby when he picks
his battles, and if he's going to bring a fight
like this to Tay Anderson, he's gonna give it as all.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
And I guess that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
When you were a career military officer in both the
Army and the Marines, and then you get in a
position like mayor of Aurora.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Amen to that, my friend. One of the things I
like about my confident one of the reasons that people
do say things like he's a rhino, he knows who
his constituents are.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
He's not serving himself.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
He is serving the people of Aurora, and sometimes that
comes into conflict with people who are very, very conservative
or may have a different viewpoint. But he doesn't serve
you unless you live at Aurora. So, Jimmy, I don't
know if you saw.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
This, did you? It's a totally out of left field.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Did you see that the Florida jury found CNN to
famed the US Navy veteran.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I saw the headlined that didn't get to read anything remarkable.
The come up is for these legacy TV media outlets.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Well, the jury only awarded him five million dollars in
compensatory damages. An undisclosed settlement was reached later Friday regarding
punitive damages. Details of that settlement not immediately available. Jimmy Segenberger,
keep doing what you're doing. You're writing these great columns
in the Denver Gazette, and you will be heard here
on Monday. You're filling in for Ross for inauguration Day,
(12:26):
so you're going to kind of be with people as
they do the oath and all that good stuff. So
tune in on Monday to here, Jimmy and Jimmy, I'll
talk to you again soon.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It'll be great. Stay warm, have a great weekend.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
You too, my friend, you too. So this story CNN.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I cannot tell you how much I love the fact
that CNN lost this case.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
I just I cannot. I love it. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I heard Ross talking earlier about the fact that Rudy
Giuliani has now settled with the women that he defamed
and he's going to be give them some amount of money.
But he could never pay the one hundred and fifty
million dollar judgment. He just doesn't have the money. And
he's like eighty years old, and he's ruined his legal career,
so he's pretty much left with what he's got.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
But I guess they figured that out.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
And Ros said, I almost feel sorry for him.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
I do not. And here's why.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
When an attorney who knows the law better than your
average bear does.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Something so blatantly.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Stupid as to disparage people without evidence in a public forum,
he gets what he deserves.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
And he knew the law.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You know, my dad always used to say, ignorance of
the law has no.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Excuse, and he's right.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You can't say, oh, I didn't know that was against
the law. If you break the law. You could just
pretend I didn't know robbing a bank was against the law.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And in this case, I feel no sympathy for Rudy
Giuliani because he's a freaking attorney. If I, as a
talk show host, know what defamation is, surely an attorney
he knows what defamation is and he did it anyway.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
So yeah, sorry about your look.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
It's really sad to see how Rudy Juliana has fallen
from his days, as you know, America's mayor in New
York City, when he took a cesspool of New York
City and turned it around in a way that was
shocking at the time, and it still remains in great
shape because of Rudy Giuliani. And now he's just absolutely
(14:25):
destroyed his own legacy by becoming just a blatant sycophant
for for Donald Trump. You know, I get loyalty, but
but don't lie on behalf of someone else when you
know better. So now he's having to pay the piper
on that one. Ryan Edwards has joined us in the
studio today.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Hello. Ryan Edwards. Hello, it's good to see you.
Speaker 1 (14:46):

tired of being cold.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
But it's been consistently cold for so many days in
a row. Like we had a reprieve the last two
days yesterday, glorious, glorious, coorious, right, But I mean up
until then, we had like the entire month of December
felt like sub freezing temperatures quite literally every day, and
it does get a little old.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
It was actual pretty bomby in December. Yeah it was mommy.
Just last week it got cold.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Yeah it was Bommy because he didn't really feel like

I mean, it wasn't great on special teams not you know,
special teams is changing though because of the new rules. Yes,
I feel like it's going to be not a whole
new ballgame, but it's definitely changed. I don't I get
why they change the rules. But from a fan perspective.
Speaker 6 (20:22):
I do not love it. I've tried to like it. Yeah,
it's about safety, I get it.
Speaker 4 (20:26):
It is.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
I think that they're trying to tweak it. I mean,
and I think they're going to continue to look at it.
But yeah, we'll get into it. Because I think on surface,
it's a bit surprising, but then when you sort of
dig into it actually makes you love sense.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
All right, that's all coming up. Keep it right here.
I'll be back on Monday, but i'll be back from
Puerto Rico. Coming up next.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
Skaway Sports
Are back, and joining me now from the Sengenberger compound
is Junny Sengenberger, who has written a column today and
the Denver Gazette come out yesterday's epic clapback by Mayor
Mike Kaufman and the fake controversy ginned up by media
horror and racist s grifter Tay Anderson. I think that's
(00:20):
a pretty good introduction to what we're talking about here, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
I think that fits pretty well. It has been just
an absolutely wild time, but that's what happens when Tay
Anderson decides to become a victim again and again and again.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, And I mean this is such a pattern of behavior,
it's comical, it really is. I mean, he's one step
away from becoming a slip and fall artist who just
makes a living slipping and falling in a Walmart and
then suing for just under the amount that Walmart will
settle for, you know what I mean. Like, that's how
he feels. He got run out of Denver. He got
(00:58):
run out of Denver, and now he has taken up
and taken up camp in Aurora.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
So, yeah, Mandy, what he has complained about slipping and
fall type situations before in a target or being pushed
by police.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
So actually, what.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
You're saying has literally happened before.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
Of course, of course it has. So what happened on
Monday night, let's start there.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Well, bottom line is Hey Anderson has been off the
board for the Denver School District for a little over
a year since with the end of November of twenty
twenty three, and since then he has really leaned into
his role as an activist and an agitator, and so
for months and months he and other so called protesters
(01:47):
have shown up at city council meetings in Aurora to
protest things a variety of different matters, but particularly the
death of Kylan Lewis, who was shot by police after
he did not abide by commands. It's a really tragic story,
but the guy was he was charged with attempted murder
(02:10):
of a sixty three year old blind man leading up
to his death. But they have treated the law enforcement
as though they.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Are guilty and responsible.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
And need to be held entirely accountable. So, needless to say,
they've shown up and they have consistently derailed meetings, derailed
town homes put on by city council members as.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Well you name it time and time again.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
At the very end of the meeting on Monday, a
guy who introduced himself as Ted d he spoke up
and threw a ton of s bombs. Ted deathbomb counter
is eight, because that's what you do when you're keeping
classy in your speeds to wrap things up. And it
(02:56):
was terrible, and clearly.
Speaker 5 (02:58):
That was sort of I think at least feels like
the last draw for Kaufman, who I.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Would surmise recognizes that this is tas doing. He's always
trying to put people up for a show. And he
went out there to after the meeting and confronted Tay
and was yelling at him over the death of and
lead up to the death of a seventeen year old
kid a few years ago in Denver public schools who
had shot two deans, a guy by the name of
(03:26):
Austin Lyle and later took his own life. And he
was like, you killed or you killed Austin Lyle because
your policies kept police out of schools.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
And he's not wrong.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You have to think that a if Austin Lyle knew
that he was going to be padded down as he
was every day by police officers. He probably would have
thought twice about having a gun on his person when
he knew there was going to be padded down.
Speaker 6 (03:52):
He obviously thought he was going.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
To be able to get away with it because it
was two administrators and the entire situation is so avoidable.
Tay Anderson is fully responsible for that. What's interesting about
the whole thing you said about killing Lewis. John Killner
presented that case to the grand jury, so the grand
jury had an opportunity to indict those police officers, and
(04:15):
they did not. Mister Lewis had a rap sheet of violence,
and that at that point when police say turn around
and show us your hands. When you put your hand
in your pocket and then turn around, things are not
going to end. Well. What's really gross, and that's the
word I'm gonna use here, Jimmy, is that by continuing
to use killing Lewis to forward his own media wore tendencies,
(04:40):
Tay Anderson is not doing that family any favors. You know,
he is just keeping the pain of that death going.
He's picking the scab all the time for his own
self aggrandizement and I just think that's gross.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
So what happened in the scene is that Kraffman approached
to Anderson and the protesters were singing a takeoff of
an old spiritual that they were using as a protest
song basically, and Kaufman was yelling at Anderson and then
showed up in front of Anderson, and that guy ted
Dee jumped in front of him and said, what the
eff are you doing? Who the f do you think
(05:16):
you are? And Tay made this all like, oh my gosh,
my life was in danger. I didn't know what that
what was going to happen?
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And well what did they do?
Speaker 5 (05:26):
He was so dangerous that the group followed Kaufman out
of the room as he went to with.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The you know, Danielle Jarinsky city council woman put her
arm around his back and kind of led Kaufman out
of the room, and they, including Tay, followed him, continuing
to sing as he went to the elevator, and a
nearby police officer got in between them and walked up
to the mayor. There was no physical contact from anybody,
Tokay Anderson. There was no attack, There was nothing of
(05:52):
the sort. And if it was so dangerous, why.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Did they follow Kaufman to further antagonize them.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And this goes to the point you were just making,
because this is not about a grieving family and pain.
It is about putting on another show, nothing more and
nothing less.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
And that's what's so disgusting about it, It really is.
Does he think he's going to run for office in Aurora?
Is that what he's ginning up for now now that
he's been I mean, let's just face it, he's been
dismissed from Denver, right. He ended his school board career
that was mired in controversy after he was found to
be you know, creepily contacting teenage girls and making sexually
(06:32):
aggressive passes while he was.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
On the school board, which is just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
He then decided he was going to run for a
house seat, and when it became clear that he stood
no chance of winning that, he's now vacated and moved
to Aurora. Do you think he's event Do you think
he's ginning up for some kind of political move in Aurora?
Or is he grifting successfully enough off of this community
organizer business to pay the bills without gofundmeeds to you know,
you know that he is famous for at.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
This point, and I think he likes being a professional activist.
I see him if he's going to run for something,
waiting a little bit in time. Maybe he'll see something
in the next year or two.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
But teller me skeptical about that at this point.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I think he's probably enjoying professional activism. But Mandy, you
were hitting at something, which is his tenure on the
school board. So much of it was really about and
I covered this very closely for years, about distraction and
making things about himself and being a disruption.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
And I'll just give you one example, because.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I was there for a particular meeting where they were
talking about whether or not I'm hearing public comment as
well about whether or not to bring back school resource
officers law enforcement to campuses, which Kay had took charge
in Banning in twenty twenty. They ultimately did no, thanks
to Anderson, who voted against it. But at this meeting
(07:56):
they had the Chief of Police, Ron Thomas there and
he was answering questions. But Michelle Quadobaum, one of Kay's
colleagues on the board who's still on the board, she
took eighteen minutes of that time, asked very few questions.
Mostly was going on about racism of police and all this.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And ultimately the school board president at the time, so
she got Tan cut her mic and then Tay.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Made a big fit about it and said, you know what, this.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Is oppressive, that's oppressive. Why don't you Mike His mic
was cut and he walked down to the staff and
pointing his finger.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Kind of like Mike Kaufman did today.
Speaker 5 (08:35):
The raveszeb come complying with the president of the school board.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
And this is a.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
Guy who after Monday is complaining about aggression and how
Mike Koffman was treating him. And that's just one of
many examples of Tay Anderson's antics, like that, it must.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Be amazing to be Tay Anderson, who's not a small man,
and he's beached up a little bit over the last
few years. It must be terrifying to be him, to
run around sure that at any moment the mayor of
Aurora is gonna come after you and beat you up,
and you're completely incapable while you're surrounded by supporters of
defending yourself. He must live, I mean, he must just
(09:16):
be afraid to leave his house alone.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Well, I guess so, and I make the point that
relax on, Tay guess what.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
It's probably not the case of the sixty.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Nine year old mayor is going to go mortal combat
on you.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
I could be wrong, but it is a probably not
gonna happen.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
But that's where I get to my.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Line in the piece that taking Kay Anderson seriously is
like debating a dad joke.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
It's pointless, over the top.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
And guaranteed to make you grow.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
And I think that's true.
Speaker 6 (09:49):
Yeah, amen to that.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
We are not even getting to the best part of
this whole story, and that is Mayor Mike Coffin cracked
back yesterday on Facebook and basically he said, Tay sit
down and shut up. I mean, he called him out
six ways to Sunday. It was a thing of beauty
to see someone not cower to Tay Anderson's threats of
(10:14):
I'm gonna call you a racist, I'm gonna accuse you
of racism, because Mike Coffin was basically like, you know what,
shut up, you got nothing for you and Aurora and
we really don't.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Need to hear anything more.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
And I've never felt more proud of Mayor Coffin in
my life.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Yeah, uh, oh me too.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I read that and I was like, very good, and
I went and shared it on multiple platforms. I'm look
at it this way. I have known Kaufinan since I
was sixteen and he was running for Secretary of State.
And if he gets in a way where he's fired
up passionately like this, like he was on Monday, and
then in his follow up, you know that he's got
(10:51):
something very specific in mind that has brought him to
that point. Because he's a very even keeled, level headed
kind of guy. And there are some people on the
right who've given him this reputation that he's some kind
of rhino who's.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Love me no, But this is a guy who's.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Just he's very shrewd, he's very shabby when he picks
his battles, and if he's going to bring a fight
like this to Tay Anderson, he's gonna give it as all.
Speaker 4 (11:19):
And I guess that's what happens.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
When you were a career military officer in both the
Army and the Marines, and then you get in a
position like mayor of Aurora.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Amen to that, my friend. One of the things I
like about my confident one of the reasons that people
do say things like he's a rhino, he knows who
his constituents are.
Speaker 6 (11:36):
He's not serving himself.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
He is serving the people of Aurora, and sometimes that
comes into conflict with people who are very, very conservative
or may have a different viewpoint. But he doesn't serve
you unless you live at Aurora. So, Jimmy, I don't
know if you saw.
Speaker 6 (11:49):
This, did you? It's a totally out of left field.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Did you see that the Florida jury found CNN to
famed the US Navy veteran.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I saw the headlined that didn't get to read anything remarkable.
The come up is for these legacy TV media outlets.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Well, the jury only awarded him five million dollars in
compensatory damages. An undisclosed settlement was reached later Friday regarding
punitive damages. Details of that settlement not immediately available. Jimmy Segenberger,
keep doing what you're doing. You're writing these great columns
in the Denver Gazette, and you will be heard here
on Monday. You're filling in for Ross for inauguration Day,
(12:26):
so you're going to kind of be with people as
they do the oath and all that good stuff. So
tune in on Monday to here, Jimmy and Jimmy, I'll
talk to you again soon.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
It'll be great. Stay warm, have a great weekend.
Speaker 6 (12:37):
You too, my friend, you too. So this story CNN.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
I cannot tell you how much I love the fact
that CNN lost this case.
Speaker 6 (12:45):
I just I cannot. I love it. I absolutely love it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
I heard Ross talking earlier about the fact that Rudy
Giuliani has now settled with the women that he defamed
and he's going to be give them some amount of money.
But he could never pay the one hundred and fifty
million dollar judgment. He just doesn't have the money. And
he's like eighty years old, and he's ruined his legal career,
so he's pretty much left with what he's got.
Speaker 6 (13:11):
But I guess they figured that out.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
And Ros said, I almost feel sorry for him.
Speaker 6 (13:17):
I do not. And here's why.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
When an attorney who knows the law better than your
average bear does.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Something so blatantly.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Stupid as to disparage people without evidence in a public forum,
he gets what he deserves.
Speaker 6 (13:36):
And he knew the law.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
You know, my dad always used to say, ignorance of
the law has no.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Excuse, and he's right.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
You can't say, oh, I didn't know that was against
the law. If you break the law. You could just
pretend I didn't know robbing a bank was against the law.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
I had no idea.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
And in this case, I feel no sympathy for Rudy
Giuliani because he's a freaking attorney. If I, as a
talk show host, know what defamation is, surely an attorney
he knows what defamation is and he did it anyway.
Speaker 6 (14:03):
So yeah, sorry about your look.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
It's really sad to see how Rudy Juliana has fallen
from his days, as you know, America's mayor in New
York City, when he took a cesspool of New York
City and turned it around in a way that was
shocking at the time, and it still remains in great
shape because of Rudy Giuliani. And now he's just absolutely
(14:25):
destroyed his own legacy by becoming just a blatant sycophant
for for Donald Trump. You know, I get loyalty, but
but don't lie on behalf of someone else when you
know better. So now he's having to pay the piper
on that one. Ryan Edwards has joined us in the
studio today.
Speaker 6 (14:43):
Hello. Ryan Edwards. Hello, it's good to see you.

tired of being cold.
Speaker 7 (15:42):
But it's been consistently cold for so many days in
a row. Like we had a reprieve the last two
days yesterday, glorious, glorious, coorious, right, But I mean up
until then, we had like the entire month of December
felt like sub freezing temperatures quite literally every day, and
it does get a little old.
