Speaker 1 (01:12):
Alrighty, let's get to it. Go up, So Brownie insults
me in abstentia. That takes That takes some nerve. Well,
I'm gonna get even by scaring away his regular listenership. Hmmm,
who wins? Then I'm John calderin for the big Man.
(01:34):
Give me a call. Three h three seven one three
eight two five five. You heard it in the news,
Brenda Stewart telling us that Aurora is going to impound
your car if you don't have your driver's license, registration,
proof of insurance. This is a good way to get
rid of a chunker. By the way, that's pretty cool.
(02:01):
What do you think about it? Do you think? Do
you think that's the right way to do it?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I have been caught without proof of insurance and it's embarrassing. No, no,
it's my car. I just can't find a little slip
of paper. And if you take away my car, I'll
be unable to get to my job. Am I unable
to get to my job? I'll be happy and relaxed
(02:30):
and spend the day watching television and drinking beer. Wait
a man, this is a good idea, all of it's
a great idea. What do you think is this something?
Is this something that is good stuff? Now? What's so
weird about this is if somebody steals your car, nothing happens.
(02:57):
If you don't have a piece of paper to show
your compliance with the law, they take away your stuff.
This is this is what's different. This is what we
call mixed signals. Am I right? Three or three seven?
(03:17):
One three eight two five five seven one three talk
I add if you don't know. I run the Independence Institute,
Colorado's premier force for limited government and individual freedom. And
we have this wonderful, wonderful headquarters building pretty close to
(03:38):
the Capitol, within walking distances. It's an amazing facility. We're
very very proud of it. We own it, we bought it.
And sometimes being in Denver, we have to clean up
from Michael Johnson's finest who like to hang out around
(03:59):
the property, drop their needles, drop their bags, drop their poop,
drop their vomit, and leave a mess for everyone else
to clean up. Including Sometimes they just won't leave, so
I've had to call the police to shoe these folks
along and get them off of private property. I remember
one time I got so frustrated that instead of calling
(04:21):
the non emergency line. I called nine one one. It's
like nobody's coming. So I called nine to one one
Denver nine one one, and I'm put on hold for
four minutes and then I'm cut off. I had to
call back and then wait about four minutes, saying I'm
(04:44):
very glad I'm not getting stabbed right now, and the
nice person said, oh, we'll send some cops over as
soon as as soon as possible. As soon as possible
was four hours later, and these two cops walk in
the door. This time the guy we were trying to
get rid of has has moved along to his next victim.
(05:09):
And I wanted the guy arrested. I didn't want him
shoot away. I wanted him arrested. He wouldn't move, he
was getting belligerent. No, I want him gone. So they
come four hours later, and these two cops looked like
death warmed over their just beat. You could just see
(05:31):
it in their poor eyes. And I asked him, so,
how's it going? Oh you know, no, really, how's it going?
Cop looked at me and said, look, let me put
it this way. Yesterday I arrested a guy for stealing
four cars, and then two hours later I arrested the
(05:56):
exact same guy for stealing a car. So even when
you arrest them, they don't they don't stay around. They're
in there, out it's like a traffic ticket, and they're
back to work. So no wonder, no wonder. The cops
(06:19):
feel so beat up. By the way, these are the
same cops that the mayor is going to have armed
and on the border of the city and county for
when the federal agents come to get the illegals. Yes,
the mayor said, yeah, let's see them do it with
a police at the border. So, oh my god, these
(06:40):
guys are so burnt up. They can't they can't arrest
people who are stealing cars. Do you think that they're
really going to fight off federal agents who are there
to get the illegals, or do you think they'll just
quietly go over there. There's one of them right over there,
(07:01):
save me the truck. Seven one, three, eight, two, five five.
So now in Aurora, which has taken a different approach,
if you're in a car that doesn't have your registration
or your proof of insurance, it could be impounded. If
(07:23):
you've ever had a car impounded, and everyone has at
some point, it's a pain, it's an expense. It's it's
one of those great stupidity taxes. They tow your car
because it was in the wrong place or way. Back
(07:45):
when I was married, my wife parked in front of
somebody's driveway, not knowing it was somebody's driveway. Because it
was a massive snowstorm, you couldn't see whether or not
it was a driveway or just in front of somebody's house.
So of course they had to toe the car. Yep,
how else could they get out of their driveway? And
(08:06):
what a pain to get the car back. So is
it a good idea that the police can take your
car because you don't have a little form that says
(08:26):
you're complying with all the rules and REGs or put
it a little differently. And the same cops who are
barred from really pursuing people who steal cars now can
steal your car because you don't have the right paperwork.
(08:49):
Something just doesn't seem kosher there. And also this is
a good way for them to to catch people who
are stealing cars. But if you're pulling them over, I
hope you catch them. Anyway, this was several years ago,
my god, this must be ten fifteen years ago. Buddy
of mine in Denver had his car stolen, I know, shocker.
(09:14):
And then he's walking down the street and he sees
his car it has been moved. He quickly calls the
police and says, right there, right there, my car's right there.
And the cops were like, yeah, well then you should
(09:35):
take it. First of all, they really didn't want to
take the report that it was stolen to begin with,
and now that he found it, their advice was, well,
let's hang on go down there and see who gets
into it so he can arrest him. What do you
think might be the way to do that, It was, well,
if you still have a key, go go steal it back.
(09:57):
Go steal it back. This is how we're going to
handle car thepts. Have you had your car stolen? Have
you had it have you had it impounded unfairly or
even fairly? Is this a good policy? I think what
(10:20):
Aurora is trying to do is to draw a very
strong contrast between Denver and its own city of Aurora, Denver,
which has been very lenient on crime, Aurora, which is
trying to be tougher on crime, except, of course, Venezuelan gangs,
(10:42):
which don't exist here. They don't exist. They never took
over that apartment building. By the way. Hmmm, when they
take your car, does it ever come back in the
same shape. It never seems to. Always seems to get
(11:05):
banged up and scratched up in something. But it's a
fascinating policy idea. You better have your driver's license on you,
you better have the paper. When you think about it,
a lot of it is you must comply. You have
to show you've complied with the increasing rules and regulations.
(11:26):
You have to show that you paid your taxes on
the car. That's the registration. You have to prove that
you've got your missions done, that's the registration. You have
to prove that you've got insurance, and you have to
prove that you are you. Now the same people who
claim you don't have to prove you are you when
(11:47):
it comes to voting. Sure like the idea of proving
you are you when you're driving or cashing a check
or anything else. What a silly, silly way to handle it. Oh,
I don't know if you heard the news story. This
is breaking. It's big, it's huge. The President will pardon
(12:14):
the Thanksgiving Day turkey. Yep, it's gonna be today, it's
gonna be a big deal. The pardon. This will be
him pardoning the turkey for the last time, trying to
give an idea to Trump. Please pardon me as well.
I hate this thing. Out of all the traditions, and
(12:37):
I'm not one for traditions. This is a stupid one. God.
I hate it every year when the President stands there
and behind that table and there's a big white bird
and he says, oh, we're pardoning, and it's a photogop
and all the cameras come out because it's a slow
news day. For a couple reasons. One, it's a waste
(13:00):
of a good bird. Two. If you're going to pardon
that turkey, which was given to you and usually they're
given to the president by whatever turkey foundation or turkey association,
and you you don't eat it, but on Thanksgiving you
(13:22):
eat a different bird. You really haven't saved any bird's life,
you just switch one. It's a sophie's choice. I'm pardoning
this bird so that I can eat that bird. You know,
if you really want to be logical about it, pardon
that turkey and then eat tofu for Thanksgiving. Get it.
(13:48):
It's a cute little thing I found out later saw
some report that these turkeys don't live that long. Once
they're pardoned. They go to some petting zoo or some
other place, but they're bread to be eaten. Have you
ever noticed that the turkeys that that the president pardons
(14:11):
looks nothing like the wild turkey you occasionally see crossing
a road or running around in a neighborhood, which I've
been seeing more of. It's really cool when you see
your first turkey, It's like, wait, that's a wild turkey
out there. What is it doing here? And I've been
seeing a lot more of them lately. Saw one in
Boulder just the other day. It's kind of hanging out
(14:32):
by the roadside. It's kind of cool. But it doesn't
look like the big, fluffy white birds that stands in
front of the president. So what happens with that bird
that's been bred to be eaten? It goes to a
(14:53):
petting zoo and it dies a horrible death because it's
obese like most talk show hosts, and it just lingers
there because it's too fat to walk around, much like
some talk show hosts, and it dies early. So instead
(15:14):
of a nice swift death where it can be enjoyed
by a family for it seems months on end, until
you can't take any more turkey. It goes someplace, people
pet it and it dies a slow, horrible, agonizing death.
Yay yay. So when did this become a tradition? When
(15:41):
Presidents George W said he did it, he said it
was done fifty years ago by President Truman. A little
research here from the AP says, no, that's that's not
Truman was the first to be given a turkey by
the National Turkey Fed. What a great name. But it
(16:04):
wasn't the first to pardon a turkey. It seems as
though Reagan. Reagan was the first to use the term
I'm partying this turkey in the eighties. The first reprieve,
the first reprieve of a turkey was a presentation from
(16:27):
the Turkey Federation in nineteen sixty three to Kennedy. A
sign hung around the turkey's neck that said, good eating,
mister President. Good eating, mister President. So the intent was
(16:48):
the President to eat it, but Kennedy said, for whatever reason,
well we'll just let this one grow. It was an
LA Times headline in nineteen sixty three of that event
that described it as a presidential pardon, but it wasn't
actually a pardon. Following Kennedy Nixon, Carter sent their turkeys
(17:12):
to petting zoos, but the word pardon wasn't used until
nineteen eighty seven when President Reagan decided to pardon Charlie
the Turkey. It was during the Iran Contra crisis and
Sam Donaldson of ABC yelled the question about whether Reagan
(17:33):
would pardon Oliver North and John Poindexter, who were involved
in that Iran Contra affair. Reagan deflected, saying, if they'd
given me a different answer on Charlie in his future,
I would have pardoned him. Not that, not that. So
(17:57):
apparently it was George w. George HW that was the
first to officially pardon. That was in nineteen eighty nine.
Let me assure you, and this fine Tom Turkey, he
said that he will not end up on anyone's dinner table,
not this guy. He's presented a presidential pardon as of
(18:20):
right now, and allow him to live out his days
on a children's farm not far from here. You know
what that sounds like. It sounds like every time I
try to get rid of my dog and I tell
the kids, oh no, no, No, there's a wonderful farm
not far from here where we're gonna let the dog
(18:43):
run and chase rabbits all day. He's gonna be so
happy in that. You know. We're just that farm not
far from here. What happened to my guinea pigon? Dad? Oh?
You know we brought him to that farm not far
from here. Where is running and playing? Old? Where's my
(19:04):
pet buddy rabbit? Oh? We we brought him the farm.
Kind of like him, all right? Three O three seven
one three eight two five five seven one three talk?
Have you had your car impounded? Is it theft?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Keep it here?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Your out pretty one minutes after I'm John Caldera. Give
me a call three or three seven one three eight
two five five. Not to worry, Brownie. You will be
back if they can find him. Hm hm, So do
(19:48):
you want to be not arrested but have your car taken?
If if you don't have all your paperwork? Texts for
someone to c clarify John. In order to qualify for impound,
the vehicle operator must fail to produce a valid license,
insurance document, and registration all three. Otherwise, it is not
(20:13):
necessarily subject to impound under that ordinance. All right, good clarification,
not necessarily m.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
John.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I hope your second hour will be on podcasts so
I can catch up on this topic. Need to pass
this on to my boyfriend who wants to drive without insurance.
Have a great day, John, Always good to have you
fill in in my opinion. Oh, thank you, Summer. Somebody
(20:47):
likes me. Yeah, if your boyfriend is driving without insurance,
how to put this? Get a new boyfriend? Now? Just
just make it clear this is not a good prospect
for you. You don't want to be motoring around in
(21:12):
a machine that can kill people and not have some insurance.
This is what we call what's the term? Oh, yes,
a bad judgment. Do not date men with bad judgment now,
mind you. As a single man, I have to date
women with a poor judgment because who else is going
(21:35):
to go out with me? Or this one from the
text line, John, I think they're finally going to get
all the drivers without plates or registrations and probably without licenses. Well,
you can get them anyway. Can't you just arrest a
person or take them for driving without a license, driving
(21:59):
without insurance it's against the law, But to take away
their property. I don't know that that just gives me
a weird vibe. You know, it's it's it's your property.
There should be some sort of due process before they
(22:21):
just take it. That's my sense. Mind you I I
like my car. All right, let's get back to the phones.
Let's talk to Nathan. Nathan, good morning. You're with John Caldera.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Welcome, com Marian, John, comorian, John, how you join?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I'm terrific.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
The first thing I want to tell you is I
just moved to South Carolina in June. I was a
car at, a lifelong native.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So now you're a refugee from you had to leave
the socialistic state, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Exactly? I got two quick stories for you. So one time,
this probably twenty five thirty years ago, my dog, her
car was broken, and she wanted to go to this
concert down at the Gothic down there our Broadway. Yeah,
she goes in parks in the King Suver's parking lot
right there, and she comes out and the car's gone
in one of those they had one of those twenty agreements,
(23:14):
and she had to call me to come get her
and tell me she got my car. Not a pleasant funny.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Wait a second, Wait a second, So you also have
a daughter, and you've also woken up to the fact
that now you've got to go get your own car
back from some impact a lot because they parked in
the wrong spot. Yes. Interesting, I've had that very experience
because it comes along with having daughters.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah great, great, I was like, actually I wasn't as
mad as I thought I would be.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
But yeah, the same way because I remember being stupid.
And also it's your daughter. Let's let's remember that. I
guess it's in the concert institution or something that daughters
get to play their daddy's like a bad violin. You know,
we're just we're powerless to them. Whereas if your son
parked in the wrong place and your car got towed you,
(24:12):
you'd rip them a new one because probably he's a boy,
and you know what boys are. You don't know what
girls are. I think it's the same way with mothers
and sons. I just don't think, yeah, yeah, you were
never you were never a boy. If you're a mom,
so you don't know what the kid's going through. But
if you're a father and you have a son, oh,
(24:34):
you know, I kind of crap. He's trying to pull
off because you were there too, you know, everything he's doing.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
So one more quick story, way back then, then back again.
About thirty years ago, I was delivering newspapers for extra money,
and I go into this apartment complex this newspaper. I
come out and some guys jumping in my current and
stole my car. So I call him the stolen team
there do the whole bit. I don't know if we'll
ever find a type of thing. It was about four
(25:05):
days later I've I'm working. I was a manager at
this restaurant and I get a phone call and this
guy goes, do you own a A ninety two prelude?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I go yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
He goes, it's in my parking lot in this bar
on East Colfax.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
I don't know. I can't remember why my phone number was.
It had to be in there somewhere. You know. I
used to be on your on your paperwork, your registrations
all that time. You know, I have my tires stuff.
I don't know, you know. So he calls me, and
it was funny because it calls me a work so
it was my work number. So I don't remember how
(25:42):
he got the number.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Probably in your glove box or something maybe.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
So he calls me. So I get a friend to
drive me down there, and there's my car. It's in
this parking lot. It's just been abandoned. They took out
my stereo system and it was kind of beat up,
but you know, as the inside was beat up, but
a couple of flat tires and I got my car back.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I think I can beat that story. So yeah, just
let me lay it out and see if this one
beats you. So my next door neighbor, dead of winter,
is gonna drive his wife to the airport, packs up
the car, turns it on to heat it up, goes inside,
gets distracted by some sporting event on the television set.
(26:26):
And it's early, it's like five in the morning, and
then they walk out, you know, a few minutes later,
to get their car. Their car is gone. In its
place is a bicycle. So what happened is some guy
pedals along. Somebody who stole a bicycle is pedaling along, going, oh,
look a car running with a key in it. That's
(26:49):
even nicer than my bicycle. Drops the bicycle, grabs it
and leaves, so they're furious. A day later, they get
a call from their McCann and the mechanic says, yeah,
what do you need done on the car? Go huh, yeah,
what what do you need done on the car? So
you dropped it off. Dropped it off, the guy who
(27:12):
stole it left it in the parking lot, just by
chance of the place where they get the car repaired.
And the guy was like, oh my god, that's spectacular.
But I don't have a key now because the guy
the key was in the in the was in the
drop in the in the car, and we can't find
(27:34):
the spare key yet. Can you make me another key?
And the guy says sure, Yeah, we'll make you another key.
It'll take a couple hours. Great, I'll come by in
a couple hours. An hour later, the mechanic calls the
guy again my neighbor and says, oh, you found your
spare key. What what are you talking about? I thought
(27:54):
my spare key because you took your car. I didn't
take my car. The guy who stole it parked it there,
did whatever he was supposed to do, and then and
then stole it again, and then finally this, Oh my god.
So the whole family packs up in whatever cars they have,
they go to where this place is and they're searching
all around for the stolen car, and sure enough, by
(28:17):
the railroad tracks, in good Chris Farley fashion, they find
the car by a bunch of by a homeless encampment,
and just like what you said, they open it up
and it smells and it reeks, and it's been beat up,
and they stole some stuff out of it and including them,
including the stereo. I don't think they had it tested.
(28:42):
A lot of a lot of insurance companies will have
it tested for meth or fentanyl because you get your
car back, but if it's been you know, traces of
drugs in it, you don't want to be driving around
in it. The same reason why Bold and other libraries
would close when they found high concentrations of meth in
(29:06):
the bathrooms and they had to go and clean out
the uh yeah, the bathrooms and clean out the ventilation systems.
The same thing after we put homeless people in the
rec centers that they need a day to clean up
after it because of the fils. So I think that
one beats your story.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
That's a pretty good that's a pretty good one. But
I don't think my insurance company cared about these thirty
years ago. They didn't care about drugs in the car
back then yeah, yeah, I think they check for all
that now, But well, I.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Mean, think about it, car back. If the guy was
doing a bunch of fence and al or meth or
something in your car, one is probably not good for
you to be in the vehicle. And two, when you
get pulled over and some some drug sniffing dog goes
crazy for your car and finds you know that whatever
trace of fentanyl is that the guy didn't pick up,
(29:59):
you don't want to go to for that. Not that
anybody would go for jail, but who knows. Yeah, okay,
trust me, officer, my car was stolen. What's funny now
is that you can track your car, so not that
anybody would steal my very sexy twenty ten Ultima. Why
(30:22):
do I drive a twenty ten Ultima? Because I know
what the ladies like. That's why so I put a
I put a one of those little air tags from
apple Is in the car, so if I can't find
where I parked, I can find it that way. Wouldn't
you have loved that years ago? Many times have you
(30:44):
not been able to find where you parked? Any hoosels?
I'm glad you got your car back, Have a good one.
Three oh three seven, one three, eight two five five
seven one three talk how about this one, John, Insurance
requirements make sense, But why should I be required to
(31:07):
register my private property? That's a great question. Let me
try it this way. There's not a constitutional right to
a car, and I don't believe you have to register
your car if you keep it on your property. Now
(31:27):
that sounds crazy to people who live in cities and
in the burbs, But if you live on a farm,
you might not register your truck. If this truck is
for driving around on your farm and you're not on
public roads, I don't know if you have to register
it or not. Mind you in Colorado, if you register it,
(31:50):
you also then have to pay all the new fees,
like the faster fee that Bill Ritter put us under
without a vote of the people. And it really hurts
people who are farmers. Why, because they've got lots of
trailers things that they hook up to their truck. They've
got lots of vehicles, and it's not like they're getting
(32:11):
any more services for the extra they have to pay
for each and every one of those things that has
wheels on. It makes me wonder why you should be
required to register a gun when there's a constitutional right
to it and it's your private property. Anyway. Have you
had your car impounded? Has it been towed, has been stolen?
(32:34):
Can you beat that story? Three or three seven, one, three, eight,
two five five in for Browning. I'm John Caldera. Keep
it here ten minutes to the top. Good morning, I'm
John Caldera. Hey, check out my organization, Independence Institute. We've
(32:56):
been around from good God nearly forty years, pointing out
to the north star of personal and economic freedom. Over
those years, we've taken crazy ideas and turned them into reality.
Things like the taxpayer Bill of Rights, term limits, school choice,
charter schools, concealed carry permits, privatization, open meetings, more transparency
(33:22):
in government. All these reforms we've made possible. Why because
we believe still that Colorado can be the land of
liberty as it once was. So go to thinkfreedom dot org.
Thinkfreedom dot org. Sign up for our newsletter. Sign up
for my newsletter so you can get my really bad jokes.
(33:43):
That's that's really what all this is about, me trying
to tell terrible jokes. In the meantime, let's grab a
phone call. Three h three seven one three eight two
five five, let's go to Westminster. Mike, Good morning. You're
with John.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Morning John, And there's no doubt about it. You are
going bad jokes. First of all, the guys that are
running around with no tags on their cars that, yeah,
they should impound the cars. Why because they know the
rules and they're they have two months to get their
tags up to date and they didn't do it, So
(34:19):
just yank it.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Isn't there a better way to punish them rather than
taking away their mobility?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
No, because ten to one they'll probably just go find
another one and ride that until they get caught again.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Well, if they stole the car, then they should be
punished for stealing a car.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Well, yeah, if they stole again. I'm just talking about
I mean, I'm seeing people that have tags that are
two years old that they haven't been updated, i mean
new new car tags at all.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
So really, what that means is not that the government
doesn't know who has the car. They just haven't paid
their taxes.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
On it, right, right, And if if you lose, if
you don't pay your property tax, you lose your house.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yes, but there's at least some due process and you
don't get kicked out of your house. If you ever
pay your property tax, you get a lean on your house.
You still get to live there, but when you go
to sell it, they're going to take a bunch of
that money.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
True.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Anyway, the reason I called yes, I saw on your
newsletter that you just had a root canal.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Oh, yes, a joyful, lovely, slow root canal.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
So many moons ago, I had a root canal, and
I was in that time period between grilling it out,
waiting everything to die, and putting in the crowd.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yep, I'm in that spot right now.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
So I was at work one day, and.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
This is going to be a horror story I don't
want to hear. I can tell already.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
I was at work. In my cheek was a marshmallow
and I could barely talk. And I called the dentist
and I said, I got to see the dentist. I'm
in pain. Well, we can't see you till it this afternoon.
I said, I got to see something. That's the best
we can do. All right, Fine, So I'm popping my
Perkodet percocet like candy, and it just wouldn't go away,
(36:10):
and just wouldn't go away. So I got into the
tool room and got me, got me a drill bit no, yes, no,
And I cracked that temporary filling and all that infection
just oozed out like and I mean, it was better
than sex. And I went into the dentist that afternoon
(36:34):
and he said, I thought you were in pain?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (36:37):
And I told him and he shivered.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Oh my god, So let me see if I got this.
So I haven't even gotten the temporary yet, am I?
That week after? You know, it's still kind of sore.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
And then you should be have the temporary Now you're
just waiting for everything inside to die so they can
put in the crown.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
All right, Well I haven't they put in the temporary filling,
but I haven't got I don't have the temporary crown yet.
Did they go in and take them mold and then
they give you a temporary crown or something like that,
and it's that takes a little while. So yeah, I've
got the little temporary feeling. Oh so it got infected
underneath the temporary filling and you pop the filling out.
(37:22):
Oh my god. First of all, you get extra points
on your man card for that.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
You just you know that it's pain card all get
rid of the pain, all right.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
So when I when I said, you know, women have
the childbirth thing and they can hold that over a heads. No,
you've got this one that you win that one. Hey,
thanks so much for the phone call. Really appreciate It's
three oh three seven one three eight two five five

me in abstentia. That takes That takes some nerve. Well,
I'm gonna get even by scaring away his regular listenership. Hmmm,
who wins? Then I'm John calderin for the big Man.
(01:34):
Give me a call. Three h three seven one three
eight two five five. You heard it in the news,
Brenda Stewart telling us that Aurora is going to impound
your car if you don't have your driver's license, registration,
proof of insurance. This is a good way to get
rid of a chunker. By the way, that's pretty cool.
(02:01):
What do you think about it? Do you think? Do
you think that's the right way to do it?
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:08):
I have been caught without proof of insurance and it's embarrassing. No, no,
it's my car. I just can't find a little slip
of paper. And if you take away my car, I'll
be unable to get to my job. Am I unable
to get to my job? I'll be happy and relaxed
(02:30):
and spend the day watching television and drinking beer. Wait
a man, this is a good idea, all of it's
a great idea. What do you think is this something?
Is this something that is good stuff? Now? What's so
weird about this is if somebody steals your car, nothing happens.
(02:57):
If you don't have a piece of paper to show
your compliance with the law, they take away your stuff.
This is this is what's different. This is what we
call mixed signals. Am I right? Three or three seven?
(03:17):
One three eight two five five seven one three talk
I add if you don't know. I run the Independence Institute,
Colorado's premier force for limited government and individual freedom. And
we have this wonderful, wonderful headquarters building pretty close to
(03:38):
the Capitol, within walking distances. It's an amazing facility. We're
very very proud of it. We own it, we bought it.
And sometimes being in Denver, we have to clean up
from Michael Johnson's finest who like to hang out around
(03:59):
the property, drop their needles, drop their bags, drop their poop,
drop their vomit, and leave a mess for everyone else
to clean up. Including Sometimes they just won't leave, so
I've had to call the police to shoe these folks
along and get them off of private property. I remember
one time I got so frustrated that instead of calling
(04:21):
the non emergency line. I called nine one one. It's
like nobody's coming. So I called nine to one one
Denver nine one one, and I'm put on hold for
four minutes and then I'm cut off. I had to
call back and then wait about four minutes, saying I'm
(04:44):
very glad I'm not getting stabbed right now, and the
nice person said, oh, we'll send some cops over as
soon as as soon as possible. As soon as possible
was four hours later, and these two cops walk in
the door. This time the guy we were trying to
get rid of has has moved along to his next victim.
(05:09):
And I wanted the guy arrested. I didn't want him
shoot away. I wanted him arrested. He wouldn't move, he
was getting belligerent. No, I want him gone. So they
come four hours later, and these two cops looked like
death warmed over their just beat. You could just see
(05:31):
it in their poor eyes. And I asked him, so,
how's it going? Oh you know, no, really, how's it going?
Cop looked at me and said, look, let me put
it this way. Yesterday I arrested a guy for stealing
four cars, and then two hours later I arrested the
(05:56):
exact same guy for stealing a car. So even when
you arrest them, they don't they don't stay around. They're
in there, out it's like a traffic ticket, and they're
back to work. So no wonder, no wonder. The cops
(06:19):
feel so beat up. By the way, these are the
same cops that the mayor is going to have armed
and on the border of the city and county for
when the federal agents come to get the illegals. Yes,
the mayor said, yeah, let's see them do it with
a police at the border. So, oh my god, these
(06:40):
guys are so burnt up. They can't they can't arrest
people who are stealing cars. Do you think that they're
really going to fight off federal agents who are there
to get the illegals, or do you think they'll just
quietly go over there. There's one of them right over there,
(07:01):
save me the truck. Seven one, three, eight, two, five five.
So now in Aurora, which has taken a different approach,
if you're in a car that doesn't have your registration
or your proof of insurance, it could be impounded. If
(07:23):
you've ever had a car impounded, and everyone has at
some point, it's a pain, it's an expense. It's it's
one of those great stupidity taxes. They tow your car
because it was in the wrong place or way. Back
(07:45):
when I was married, my wife parked in front of
somebody's driveway, not knowing it was somebody's driveway. Because it
was a massive snowstorm, you couldn't see whether or not
it was a driveway or just in front of somebody's house.
So of course they had to toe the car. Yep,
how else could they get out of their driveway? And
(08:06):
what a pain to get the car back. So is
it a good idea that the police can take your
car because you don't have a little form that says
(08:26):
you're complying with all the rules and REGs or put
it a little differently. And the same cops who are
barred from really pursuing people who steal cars now can
steal your car because you don't have the right paperwork.
(08:49):
Something just doesn't seem kosher there. And also this is
a good way for them to to catch people who
are stealing cars. But if you're pulling them over, I
hope you catch them. Anyway, this was several years ago,
my god, this must be ten fifteen years ago. Buddy
of mine in Denver had his car stolen, I know, shocker.
(09:14):
And then he's walking down the street and he sees
his car it has been moved. He quickly calls the
police and says, right there, right there, my car's right there.
And the cops were like, yeah, well then you should
(09:35):
take it. First of all, they really didn't want to
take the report that it was stolen to begin with,
and now that he found it, their advice was, well,
let's hang on go down there and see who gets
into it so he can arrest him. What do you
think might be the way to do that, It was, well,
if you still have a key, go go steal it back.
(09:57):
Go steal it back. This is how we're going to
handle car thepts. Have you had your car stolen? Have
you had it have you had it impounded unfairly or
even fairly? Is this a good policy? I think what
(10:20):
Aurora is trying to do is to draw a very
strong contrast between Denver and its own city of Aurora, Denver,
which has been very lenient on crime, Aurora, which is
trying to be tougher on crime, except, of course, Venezuelan gangs,
(10:42):
which don't exist here. They don't exist. They never took
over that apartment building. By the way. Hmmm, when they
take your car, does it ever come back in the
same shape. It never seems to. Always seems to get
(11:05):
banged up and scratched up in something. But it's a
fascinating policy idea. You better have your driver's license on you,
you better have the paper. When you think about it,
a lot of it is you must comply. You have
to show you've complied with the increasing rules and regulations.
(11:26):
You have to show that you paid your taxes on
the car. That's the registration. You have to prove that
you've got your missions done, that's the registration. You have
to prove that you've got insurance, and you have to
prove that you are you. Now the same people who
claim you don't have to prove you are you when
(11:47):
it comes to voting. Sure like the idea of proving
you are you when you're driving or cashing a check
or anything else. What a silly, silly way to handle it. Oh,
I don't know if you heard the news story. This
is breaking. It's big, it's huge. The President will pardon
(12:14):
the Thanksgiving Day turkey. Yep, it's gonna be today, it's
gonna be a big deal. The pardon. This will be
him pardoning the turkey for the last time, trying to
give an idea to Trump. Please pardon me as well.
I hate this thing. Out of all the traditions, and
(12:37):
I'm not one for traditions. This is a stupid one. God.
I hate it every year when the President stands there
and behind that table and there's a big white bird
and he says, oh, we're pardoning, and it's a photogop
and all the cameras come out because it's a slow
news day. For a couple reasons. One, it's a waste
(13:00):
of a good bird. Two. If you're going to pardon
that turkey, which was given to you and usually they're
given to the president by whatever turkey foundation or turkey association,
and you you don't eat it, but on Thanksgiving you
(13:22):
eat a different bird. You really haven't saved any bird's life,
you just switch one. It's a sophie's choice. I'm pardoning
this bird so that I can eat that bird. You know,
if you really want to be logical about it, pardon
that turkey and then eat tofu for Thanksgiving. Get it.
(13:48):
It's a cute little thing I found out later saw
some report that these turkeys don't live that long. Once
they're pardoned. They go to some petting zoo or some
other place, but they're bread to be eaten. Have you
ever noticed that the turkeys that that the president pardons
(14:11):
looks nothing like the wild turkey you occasionally see crossing
a road or running around in a neighborhood, which I've
been seeing more of. It's really cool when you see
your first turkey, It's like, wait, that's a wild turkey
out there. What is it doing here? And I've been
seeing a lot more of them lately. Saw one in
Boulder just the other day. It's kind of hanging out
(14:32):
by the roadside. It's kind of cool. But it doesn't
look like the big, fluffy white birds that stands in
front of the president. So what happens with that bird
that's been bred to be eaten? It goes to a
(14:53):
petting zoo and it dies a horrible death because it's
obese like most talk show hosts, and it just lingers
there because it's too fat to walk around, much like
some talk show hosts, and it dies early. So instead
(15:14):
of a nice swift death where it can be enjoyed
by a family for it seems months on end, until
you can't take any more turkey. It goes someplace, people
pet it and it dies a slow, horrible, agonizing death.
Yay yay. So when did this become a tradition? When
(15:41):
Presidents George W said he did it, he said it
was done fifty years ago by President Truman. A little
research here from the AP says, no, that's that's not
Truman was the first to be given a turkey by
the National Turkey Fed. What a great name. But it
(16:04):
wasn't the first to pardon a turkey. It seems as
though Reagan. Reagan was the first to use the term
I'm partying this turkey in the eighties. The first reprieve,
the first reprieve of a turkey was a presentation from
(16:27):
the Turkey Federation in nineteen sixty three to Kennedy. A
sign hung around the turkey's neck that said, good eating,
mister President. Good eating, mister President. So the intent was
(16:48):
the President to eat it, but Kennedy said, for whatever reason,
well we'll just let this one grow. It was an
LA Times headline in nineteen sixty three of that event
that described it as a presidential pardon, but it wasn't
actually a pardon. Following Kennedy Nixon, Carter sent their turkeys
(17:12):
to petting zoos, but the word pardon wasn't used until
nineteen eighty seven when President Reagan decided to pardon Charlie
the Turkey. It was during the Iran Contra crisis and
Sam Donaldson of ABC yelled the question about whether Reagan
(17:33):
would pardon Oliver North and John Poindexter, who were involved
in that Iran Contra affair. Reagan deflected, saying, if they'd
given me a different answer on Charlie in his future,
I would have pardoned him. Not that, not that. So
(17:57):
apparently it was George w. George HW that was the
first to officially pardon. That was in nineteen eighty nine.
Let me assure you, and this fine Tom Turkey, he
said that he will not end up on anyone's dinner table,
not this guy. He's presented a presidential pardon as of
(18:20):
right now, and allow him to live out his days
on a children's farm not far from here. You know
what that sounds like. It sounds like every time I
try to get rid of my dog and I tell
the kids, oh no, no, No, there's a wonderful farm
not far from here where we're gonna let the dog
(18:43):
run and chase rabbits all day. He's gonna be so
happy in that. You know. We're just that farm not
far from here. What happened to my guinea pigon? Dad? Oh?
You know we brought him to that farm not far
from here. Where is running and playing? Old? Where's my
(19:04):
pet buddy rabbit? Oh? We we brought him the farm.
Kind of like him, all right? Three O three seven
one three eight two five five seven one three talk?
Have you had your car impounded? Is it theft?
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Keep it here?
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Your out pretty one minutes after I'm John Caldera. Give
me a call three or three seven one three eight
two five five. Not to worry, Brownie. You will be
back if they can find him. Hm hm, So do
(19:48):
you want to be not arrested but have your car taken?
If if you don't have all your paperwork? Texts for
someone to c clarify John. In order to qualify for impound,
the vehicle operator must fail to produce a valid license,
insurance document, and registration all three. Otherwise, it is not
(20:13):
necessarily subject to impound under that ordinance. All right, good clarification,
not necessarily m.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
John.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
I hope your second hour will be on podcasts so
I can catch up on this topic. Need to pass
this on to my boyfriend who wants to drive without insurance.
Have a great day, John, Always good to have you
fill in in my opinion. Oh, thank you, Summer. Somebody
(20:47):
likes me. Yeah, if your boyfriend is driving without insurance,
how to put this? Get a new boyfriend? Now? Just
just make it clear this is not a good prospect
for you. You don't want to be motoring around in
(21:12):
a machine that can kill people and not have some insurance.
This is what we call what's the term? Oh, yes,
a bad judgment. Do not date men with bad judgment now,
mind you. As a single man, I have to date
women with a poor judgment because who else is going
(21:35):
to go out with me? Or this one from the
text line, John, I think they're finally going to get
all the drivers without plates or registrations and probably without licenses. Well,
you can get them anyway. Can't you just arrest a
person or take them for driving without a license, driving
(21:59):
without insurance it's against the law, But to take away
their property. I don't know that that just gives me
a weird vibe. You know, it's it's it's your property.
There should be some sort of due process before they
(22:21):
just take it. That's my sense. Mind you I I
like my car. All right, let's get back to the phones.
Let's talk to Nathan. Nathan, good morning. You're with John Caldera.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Welcome, com Marian, John, comorian, John, how you join?
Speaker 1 (22:38):
I'm terrific.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
The first thing I want to tell you is I
just moved to South Carolina in June. I was a
car at, a lifelong native.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So now you're a refugee from you had to leave
the socialistic state, didn't you?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Exactly? I got two quick stories for you. So one time,
this probably twenty five thirty years ago, my dog, her
car was broken, and she wanted to go to this
concert down at the Gothic down there our Broadway. Yeah,
she goes in parks in the King Suver's parking lot
right there, and she comes out and the car's gone
in one of those they had one of those twenty agreements,
(23:14):
and she had to call me to come get her
and tell me she got my car. Not a pleasant funny.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
Wait a second, Wait a second, So you also have
a daughter, and you've also woken up to the fact
that now you've got to go get your own car
back from some impact a lot because they parked in
the wrong spot. Yes. Interesting, I've had that very experience
because it comes along with having daughters.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Yeah great, great, I was like, actually I wasn't as
mad as I thought I would be.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
But yeah, the same way because I remember being stupid.
And also it's your daughter. Let's let's remember that. I
guess it's in the concert institution or something that daughters
get to play their daddy's like a bad violin. You know,
we're just we're powerless to them. Whereas if your son
parked in the wrong place and your car got towed you,
(24:12):
you'd rip them a new one because probably he's a boy,
and you know what boys are. You don't know what
girls are. I think it's the same way with mothers
and sons. I just don't think, yeah, yeah, you were
never you were never a boy. If you're a mom,
so you don't know what the kid's going through. But
if you're a father and you have a son, oh,
(24:34):
you know, I kind of crap. He's trying to pull
off because you were there too, you know, everything he's doing.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
So one more quick story, way back then, then back again.
About thirty years ago, I was delivering newspapers for extra money,
and I go into this apartment complex this newspaper. I
come out and some guys jumping in my current and
stole my car. So I call him the stolen team
there do the whole bit. I don't know if we'll
ever find a type of thing. It was about four
(25:05):
days later I've I'm working. I was a manager at
this restaurant and I get a phone call and this
guy goes, do you own a A ninety two prelude?
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I go yeah.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
He goes, it's in my parking lot in this bar
on East Colfax.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
You.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
I don't know. I can't remember why my phone number was.
It had to be in there somewhere. You know. I
used to be on your on your paperwork, your registrations
all that time. You know, I have my tires stuff.
I don't know, you know. So he calls me, and
it was funny because it calls me a work so
it was my work number. So I don't remember how
(25:42):
he got the number.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Probably in your glove box or something maybe.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
So he calls me. So I get a friend to
drive me down there, and there's my car. It's in
this parking lot. It's just been abandoned. They took out
my stereo system and it was kind of beat up,
but you know, as the inside was beat up, but
a couple of flat tires and I got my car back.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
I think I can beat that story. So yeah, just
let me lay it out and see if this one
beats you. So my next door neighbor, dead of winter,
is gonna drive his wife to the airport, packs up
the car, turns it on to heat it up, goes inside,
gets distracted by some sporting event on the television set.
(26:26):
And it's early, it's like five in the morning, and
then they walk out, you know, a few minutes later,
to get their car. Their car is gone. In its
place is a bicycle. So what happened is some guy
pedals along. Somebody who stole a bicycle is pedaling along, going, oh,
look a car running with a key in it. That's
(26:49):
even nicer than my bicycle. Drops the bicycle, grabs it
and leaves, so they're furious. A day later, they get
a call from their McCann and the mechanic says, yeah,
what do you need done on the car? Go huh, yeah,
what what do you need done on the car? So
you dropped it off. Dropped it off, the guy who
(27:12):
stole it left it in the parking lot, just by
chance of the place where they get the car repaired.
And the guy was like, oh my god, that's spectacular.
But I don't have a key now because the guy
the key was in the in the was in the
drop in the in the car, and we can't find
(27:34):
the spare key yet. Can you make me another key?
And the guy says sure, Yeah, we'll make you another key.
It'll take a couple hours. Great, I'll come by in
a couple hours. An hour later, the mechanic calls the
guy again my neighbor and says, oh, you found your
spare key. What what are you talking about? I thought
(27:54):
my spare key because you took your car. I didn't
take my car. The guy who stole it parked it there,
did whatever he was supposed to do, and then and
then stole it again, and then finally this, Oh my god.
So the whole family packs up in whatever cars they have,
they go to where this place is and they're searching
all around for the stolen car, and sure enough, by
(28:17):
the railroad tracks, in good Chris Farley fashion, they find
the car by a bunch of by a homeless encampment,
and just like what you said, they open it up
and it smells and it reeks, and it's been beat up,
and they stole some stuff out of it and including them,
including the stereo. I don't think they had it tested.
(28:42):
A lot of a lot of insurance companies will have
it tested for meth or fentanyl because you get your
car back, but if it's been you know, traces of
drugs in it, you don't want to be driving around
in it. The same reason why Bold and other libraries
would close when they found high concentrations of meth in
(29:06):
the bathrooms and they had to go and clean out
the uh yeah, the bathrooms and clean out the ventilation systems.
The same thing after we put homeless people in the
rec centers that they need a day to clean up
after it because of the fils. So I think that
one beats your story.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
That's a pretty good that's a pretty good one. But
I don't think my insurance company cared about these thirty
years ago. They didn't care about drugs in the car
back then yeah, yeah, I think they check for all
that now, But well, I.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
Mean, think about it, car back. If the guy was
doing a bunch of fence and al or meth or
something in your car, one is probably not good for
you to be in the vehicle. And two, when you
get pulled over and some some drug sniffing dog goes
crazy for your car and finds you know that whatever
trace of fentanyl is that the guy didn't pick up,
(29:59):
you don't want to go to for that. Not that
anybody would go for jail, but who knows. Yeah, okay,
trust me, officer, my car was stolen. What's funny now
is that you can track your car, so not that
anybody would steal my very sexy twenty ten Ultima. Why
(30:22):
do I drive a twenty ten Ultima? Because I know
what the ladies like. That's why so I put a
I put a one of those little air tags from
apple Is in the car, so if I can't find
where I parked, I can find it that way. Wouldn't
you have loved that years ago? Many times have you
(30:44):
not been able to find where you parked? Any hoosels?
I'm glad you got your car back, Have a good one.
Three oh three seven, one three, eight two five five
seven one three talk how about this one, John, Insurance
requirements make sense, But why should I be required to
(31:07):
register my private property? That's a great question. Let me
try it this way. There's not a constitutional right to
a car, and I don't believe you have to register
your car if you keep it on your property. Now
(31:27):
that sounds crazy to people who live in cities and
in the burbs, But if you live on a farm,
you might not register your truck. If this truck is
for driving around on your farm and you're not on
public roads, I don't know if you have to register
it or not. Mind you in Colorado, if you register it,
(31:50):
you also then have to pay all the new fees,
like the faster fee that Bill Ritter put us under
without a vote of the people. And it really hurts
people who are farmers. Why, because they've got lots of
trailers things that they hook up to their truck. They've
got lots of vehicles, and it's not like they're getting
(32:11):
any more services for the extra they have to pay
for each and every one of those things that has
wheels on. It makes me wonder why you should be
required to register a gun when there's a constitutional right
to it and it's your private property. Anyway. Have you
had your car impounded? Has it been towed, has been stolen?
(32:34):
Can you beat that story? Three or three seven, one, three, eight,
two five five in for Browning. I'm John Caldera. Keep
it here ten minutes to the top. Good morning, I'm
John Caldera. Hey, check out my organization, Independence Institute. We've
(32:56):
been around from good God nearly forty years, pointing out
to the north star of personal and economic freedom. Over
those years, we've taken crazy ideas and turned them into reality.
Things like the taxpayer Bill of Rights, term limits, school choice,
charter schools, concealed carry permits, privatization, open meetings, more transparency
(33:22):
in government. All these reforms we've made possible. Why because
we believe still that Colorado can be the land of
liberty as it once was. So go to thinkfreedom dot org.

for my newsletter so you can get my really bad jokes.
(33:43):
That's that's really what all this is about, me trying
to tell terrible jokes. In the meantime, let's grab a
phone call. Three h three seven one three eight two
five five, let's go to Westminster. Mike, Good morning. You're
with John.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
Morning John, And there's no doubt about it. You are
going bad jokes. First of all, the guys that are
running around with no tags on their cars that, yeah,
they should impound the cars. Why because they know the
rules and they're they have two months to get their
tags up to date and they didn't do it, So
(34:19):
just yank it.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Isn't there a better way to punish them rather than
taking away their mobility?
Speaker 4 (34:25):
No, because ten to one they'll probably just go find
another one and ride that until they get caught again.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Well, if they stole the car, then they should be
punished for stealing a car.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Well, yeah, if they stole again. I'm just talking about
I mean, I'm seeing people that have tags that are
two years old that they haven't been updated, i mean
new new car tags at all.
Speaker 1 (34:46):
So really, what that means is not that the government
doesn't know who has the car. They just haven't paid
their taxes.
Speaker 4 (34:53):
On it, right, right, And if if you lose, if
you don't pay your property tax, you lose your house.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
Yes, but there's at least some due process and you
don't get kicked out of your house. If you ever
pay your property tax, you get a lean on your house.
You still get to live there, but when you go
to sell it, they're going to take a bunch of
that money.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
True.
Speaker 4 (35:15):
Anyway, the reason I called yes, I saw on your
newsletter that you just had a root canal.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Oh, yes, a joyful, lovely, slow root canal.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
So many moons ago, I had a root canal, and
I was in that time period between grilling it out,
waiting everything to die, and putting in the crowd.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yep, I'm in that spot right now.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
So I was at work one day, and.
Speaker 1 (35:43):
This is going to be a horror story I don't
want to hear. I can tell already.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
I was at work. In my cheek was a marshmallow
and I could barely talk. And I called the dentist
and I said, I got to see the dentist. I'm
in pain. Well, we can't see you till it this afternoon.
I said, I got to see something. That's the best
we can do. All right, Fine, So I'm popping my
Perkodet percocet like candy, and it just wouldn't go away,
(36:10):
and just wouldn't go away. So I got into the
tool room and got me, got me a drill bit no, yes, no,
And I cracked that temporary filling and all that infection
just oozed out like and I mean, it was better
than sex. And I went into the dentist that afternoon
(36:34):
and he said, I thought you were in pain?
Speaker 1 (36:36):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (36:37):
And I told him and he shivered.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
Oh my god, So let me see if I got this.
So I haven't even gotten the temporary yet, am I?
That week after? You know, it's still kind of sore.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
And then you should be have the temporary Now you're
just waiting for everything inside to die so they can
put in the crown.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
All right, Well I haven't they put in the temporary filling,
but I haven't got I don't have the temporary crown yet.
Did they go in and take them mold and then
they give you a temporary crown or something like that,
and it's that takes a little while. So yeah, I've
got the little temporary feeling. Oh so it got infected
underneath the temporary filling and you pop the filling out.
(37:22):
Oh my god. First of all, you get extra points
on your man card for that.
Speaker 4 (37:29):
You just you know that it's pain card all get
rid of the pain, all right.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
So when I when I said, you know, women have
the childbirth thing and they can hold that over a heads. No,
you've got this one that you win that one. Hey,
thanks so much for the phone call. Really appreciate It's
three oh three seven one three eight two five five
