Speaker 1 (00:00):
Second hour of a four hour broadcast before we make
way for the big dogs, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton.
In the meantime, they're the big dogs. I'm just a
little chihuahua on the map of talk radio. Jimmy Lakey
is my name. Glad to have you here on the show. Indeed,
I am thrilled, pleasured, and pleased to have you here.
We're heading forwards election season. I think you know that

(00:22):
early October the ballots start to fly here in Colorado.
They drop some states, they've already started an issue this week.
I believe in Pennsylvania being one of those. Colorado. I
think the week of October the seventh issue, that's the
week that they start to fly here, and you'll get
them in your bailbox shortly after that week. So trying
to highlight as many things as possible that we'll be

(00:42):
on the ballot, including a couple of state House and
State Senate races, some local races, and put out a
couple of invitations yesterday to Republican and Democratic candidates to
come into my studio and I will moderate fairly and
adjudicate much better than the a C moderators did, and
have a discussion of the issues with different candidates. So

(01:04):
if you've got a local race that you'd like to
maybe you're participating in a local race or maybe you're
following one, send me the information. Make sure I know,
and I'll let you do. I've already sent some invites
yesterday and we'll see how many confirmations I get. But
if you have got a race that you want to request,
I might have already sent it out, might have not,
but send that to me. Jimmy Lakey at iHeartMedia dot com.

(01:28):
Jimmy Lakey at iHeartMedia dot com. I often tell you
on this program that we oftentimes shake our fist at Washington,
d C. And we're angry with Donald Trump or Kamala
Harris or Raingrew, Nancy Pelosi. We oftentimes shake our hand
and shake our fists so much and focus a lot
on the national politics. But there's things in our backyard

(01:50):
that you've got to be paying attention to. You need
to know who's on your town council, you need to
follow the county commission. I know it's not as sexy,
but very important that we highlight some of these races.
That's why we're going to do some of these debates
that I've proposed and discussions here in my studio. But
another thing you got to keep a sharp eye on
is your board of education, your school board. And I

(02:11):
think most of you probably understand why, but have you
taken time to focus on the school board and do
you know who's even on the school board? I want
to bring into the conversation now some of the serves
on the Thompson school Board, the Thompson Board of Education.
One of the directors there is Nancy Rumfeldt, and she
joins us on the hotline. Longtime friend of the program. Nancy,

(02:32):
welcome back to the show. It's been a while, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
It has been a while. I've just been plugging away,
trying to fight for reason and common sense in our classrooms.
And it is true most people don't really know who's
on their school board. And as far as local politics,
the school board is really where it starts because in
the classroom is where they just really start teaching kids

(02:57):
all of these things that as we've seen, we now
have millennials who actually believe things like socialism is great,
what's wrong with it? And now in our own backyard,
because it's not just a national news story. We have
the fight to protect our girls for Title nine in
sports and locker rooms and bathrooms and hotel rooms. And

(03:20):
people need to understand. You have to be engaged because
your kids. This is so important to your kids, and
we have to protect We have to protect our kids.
And I would tell everyone every local candidate running this election,
you ask him what is your position on the gender
identity politics in our classrooms? And if they won't take

(03:42):
a position, and I don't care what party they're with,
they don't deserve your vote.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
I have a note here that in Thompson, the Thompson
School Board that excuse me, the Thompson School District, female
athletes are currently being forced to compete against males. Males
who say they're girls, Hey, they're transgender, but the girls
of Thompson, right in our backyard, are being forced to
compete against males. And explain what's happening. How extensive is

(04:11):
this and is it true that girls are being forced
in Thompson to go against biological boys.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
It is true, and it's not just in Thompson. And
one of the things that motivated me to hold this
town hall on this Sunday, September twenty second, is. At
our August twenty first meeting, there was over ninety minutes
of public comment asking why a cross country coach was dismissed.
It's still unclear. All I know is it has to

(04:39):
do with the transgender cross country runner, and so we
need to understand this is here, it is happening. Many
many students don't speak up. Many parents don't speak up
because you know what happens to me. When you do,
You get ridiculed, You get accused of being hateful, all

(04:59):
of these things, and you cannot have a good dialogue.
You can't come to any sort of rational conclusion of
what should we do with it? How should we protect
everybody's rights, not just the rights of transgender students, but
the rights of all students. And that's what we need
to focus on, and that's what this town hall is
really about, is how do we protect all students, and

(05:22):
especially our female students who are just trying. We're just
trying to, you know, earn an opportunity in sports and
have scholarships. And there are some that I know who
have been injured, have been forced to play, and have
actually lost and been removed from any opportunity of moving
forward in their particular sports, and we need to talk

(05:43):
about this. Coaches are afraid, teachers are afraid, students are afraid,
and we can't in America. This just isn't something to
me that comports with our values. We need to start
being able to talk openly about it. It's not just
you know, we shouldn't allow just everyone on one side
to be able to talk. We should all be able

(06:05):
to talk, and we should be able to do it
with respect. I mean, that's what makes America great, having good,
respectful conversations to find out what's real. How do we
do this? And so that's what this town hall is
about on the twenty second, two to four pm at
the Forge Event Center here in Loveland. You can get

(06:25):
information about it on my website nancyfourtsd dot com. And
it's really everyone, whether you're in Greeley, for Collins, Loveland,
Long Lunt, this is a town hall where you learn information.
We'll have an attorney there, we'll have pans from the
Independence Institute, and we will have Jennifer Say, who is

(06:46):
the very outspoken former Levi Strauss executive who absolutely will
talk about you must start standing up and speaking. Silence
is consent and we can't be silent anymore, Jenny.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
If you're a parent, especially and you have a female athlete,
whether maybe they're not in high school yet, but you
need to know what's coming up down the pike. They're
going to be forced. Yeah, if you even heard in
some districts across America, not sure this happened in Colorado.
You have a biological boys that declare themselves as female athletes,
they start competing in the female competition, and then if

(07:19):
you have a travel team, your girl got to shack
up and share the hotel room with a biological boy.
I mean that's happening in some places across America. It
ain't just on the court that awkward situations are happening.
It's not just in the locker room. I mean girls
are being forced if they want to be on the
travel team, you're the roommate of the biological boy. And
don't think anything of it.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Right, That is true, and that is happening. And I
have pointed out that we should also extend to parents
that they can say I do not want my daughter
or my son to share a hotel room with the
opposite biological sex, because again, the rights should go both directions.

(08:00):
Everybody has a right to feel comfortable and safe in
their hotel room, in their bathroom, in their locker room,
and on whatever sports team that they're playing with. I
don't know why this has to be such a contentious subject.
This is about protecting kids. All kids and parents have
a right to be involved and know what's going on.

(08:22):
And in Thompson they will. They have actually openly said
we will make a gender transition plan for your child
and we won't notify you. And I just I keep
speaking out against it, and we need we need to
stop it, and we need we need legislators who will
actually stand up against us.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
You're seen the voice of Nancy Rumfeld. She's on the
Thompson Board of Education. And this coming Sunday, September the
twenty second, from two to four, she's hosting a town hall.
Everybody's walking to be there. It's going to be the
Forge Event Center in Loveland, and it's about the protection
of female sports. It's not just a news story where
Riley gains and some Division one swimming competition. It's happening

(09:03):
right here in your backyard in Colorado. Female athletes are
being forced to compete against biological males and a lot
of girls of starting to walk away, losing scholarship opportunity.
It's all fact and you need to learn more about it.
And it's this Sunday. There's a town hall and there
will be an open discussion. Nancy Runfelt will be there.
Pambagnino will be there. From the Independence Institute, a list

(09:25):
of characters. You will give you the website in just
a moment for more information. But you're on the Thompson
school Board. Talk about again. You said there was ninety
minutes of public discussion at the last school board meeting
back in August about the dismissal of a cross country coach.
And nobody knows why the cross country coach was dismissed,
but speculation is because of maybe an objection to girls

(09:49):
or a transgender and where they competed at and that
person was dismissed. What do we what do we know?
What don't we know?

Speaker 2 (10:00):
So we tell a lot more that we don't know.
And just to be clear, you know, I must always
state that you know, these are my own personal opinions
and I am not speaking on behalf of the board.
But we still don't know. Even last night there were
people speaking about asking can we not give the coach
a second chance? Can we not allow her to get

(10:20):
some additional coaching to understand how to deal with this
situation instead of just being dismissed from apparently what looks
like one complaint. Again, I wish I knew more, and
you'd think I would as the school board member, but
I do not, And so I think parents they just
need to keep showing up and speaking up, and students

(10:42):
as well. I know it can be scary, but students,
we have to hear from you. We have to understand
from you that you want your coach back. She's so
well respected coach Torres, and I think it's important that
we give these students a voice and a choice, and
we have to understand what happens. Otherwise we're going to

(11:04):
start losing really good coaches because who's going to want
to coach in this environment? Jenny who? Because you have
no idea?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Yeah, let me ask you. People think, Nancy, don't you
doesn't the school board know all things on a day
to day basis. I know you can only kind of
speak of your observation of what happens at the Thompson board.
Where do these decisions come from. If a coach decides
that they're uncomfortable with the biological boy competing against the
girl and they express that and they get terminated, does

(11:32):
that happen at the local school level? Is that the superintendent?
It seems like the school board is kind of hearing
about it after the fact. Where do these policies emanate from?
Where do they come from, and who implements them?

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Typically it's you know, in the HR department. They take
points on it, they run their quote investigations, and then
if you hear anything. Typically, I didn't even know that
this was happening until we started receiving emails from students
and parents. And that's often what happens, and so even

(12:08):
the superintendent oftentimes isn't aware of it. It's almost like
to keep us insulated, so we have plausible deniability about everything.
But we're elected to govern along with the superintendent, and
I just feel like we turn over. There's just the
bureaucracy has too much power over what's happening in school,

(12:29):
not just in Thompson, but in all school districts, and
we really need to start understanding that it's not our
job to just sit there and wait for the administrative
people to tell us this is what you need to
vote on and you need to vote yes. It's like, no,
you need to give us the information so we can
have a rational conversation, understand the fact, and then we'll
decide what's best, not the staff. And that's kind of

(12:52):
where school boards have ended up, where the staff is
actually running it, and it seems like the school board
members we're just kind of did you know, figureheads. We
just sit up there and we class for celebrations, but
we don't actually do much of substance. So I keep
trying to change on our school board.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
But there's a national story out there that the Congressional
Oversight Committee looking into the July thirteenth assassination at temp
against Trump is a bloominhal of Democrat. Republicans are all saying,
why is no one cooperating we're overseeing this, and they
were the bureaucracy of the federal government won't release witnesses,
won't release toxicology and autopsuit reports. And you've got people

(13:34):
from both parties going, hey, we're the oversight here. Instead
the bureaucracy thinks they run the show there. And it
sounds like that's what's happening in our school districts. You
have these educrats that are in the classroom, and you've
got these elected that are sitting in the ivory towers
of the school district and they're making decisions and hoping
that you, as the school board, will hand out a

(13:55):
certificate and clap for someone on the retirement and twenty
years of service, but don't do anything else what they
handle the day to day. That sounds like it's the
same as the federal government happening in the local school districts.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Absolutely, and that's just something that needs to change. I mean,
that's why we're elected. My loyalty, my obligation is not
to the bureaucracy, does not to the school district. It
is to every voter, every parent, every teacher, every student
in the district. That is who I represent. I don't

(14:29):
represent the school district at eight hundred South past I
represent the Thompson School District community and the people in it,
and it is my job to make sure, along with
the rest of the board, that every student gets the
best education possible that we can afford. And we are failing,

(14:49):
in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
The voice of Nancy Rumfeld, She's a Thompson Board of
Education director beseeching you there for Brethren and sistern to
first of all, getting in your local school district, whether
it's the Thompson or whether it's Saint Vrain or whether
it's a Pewter or it doesn't matter, get involved. Go
to these board meetings. The board needs to hear from you,
and yes that includes the students. Now here's a chance

(15:12):
for you to interact directly on this topic of Title
nine and female sports. It's coming up this Sunday, the
twenty second day of September. It's going to be the
Forge Event Center. Thompson Board of Education Director Nancy Rumfeld
is going to be there. She's on the horn of
me now, but she's going to be there this Sunday
for an open discussion town hall. There's guest, there's speakers,

(15:34):
there's attorneys, and everybody's going to find out what you
can do to help protect females girls' sports, not just
in Thompson, but maybe in your district as well, and
how to protect your female athletes from having to compete
against biological boys, risking injury, etc. Not just scholarships, but
actual physical injuries happening in some of these sports there, Nancy,

(15:55):
I appreciate the time. Tell us again your website if
folks want to learn more again this Sunday from two
to four at the Forge Even Center that's on fourteenth
Street in Loveland. But if they want more information about
this upcoming town hall this Sunday and the fight to
protect Title nine and female sports is a local interaction,
where do they go? What's the website?

Speaker 2 (16:18):
The website is Nancy for f O r TSD dot
com on my Facebook on Facebook, it's also nancyforts dot com.
This is important. You can download the flyer at either
of those websites. You can also invite your Hispanic friends.
We will have a translator there because that's a community
that also needs to understand what's happening. And I really

(16:40):
look forward to seeing everyone there and have a respectful, engaging,
thoughtful discussion about this important issue.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
It's just Sunday, and again look up Nancy TSD. Nancy
FORO TSD is your website and you can find her
on social media. Nancy Rumfeldt from the Thompson Board of
Education be there Sunday if it all possible, because a
very important topic that we've got to get involved in
and again. Don't be just shaking your hands in Washington,
