Speaker 1 (00:00):
Charles Francis Potter and John J. Dumpy both admit that
the public school system in America is basically a school
of humanism, and that it needs to be the battleground
to teach humanism. The truth of the matter is is
(00:20):
that humanism is just a part of something greater, that
of far left progressivism.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Communism, the absence of God, the absence of any higher
being that we feel answerable to. I need a palate cleansing.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Dragon, Just go to any one of my stories.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That's That's what I've got here. This is we should
call it. It's palate cleansing because I've been so serious.
By the way. Somebody asked on the on the text
line if I had a link to a story that
(01:01):
I was using, and I can tell you that I don't,
because if i'm if I'm ever reading a paragraph from
a story, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
But we and then I generally try and find the
yeah drag yeah dragon.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
We can try to find it and put it up,
but most of the time I'm I'm riffing. And this
is extemporaneous based on notes and highlights that I've made
from stuff that i've so so here's what I do
I today. Today's a little different because I have an
appointment this afternoon, but I generally go home after the show,
(01:40):
and I grab the dogs and we go for a walk.
We'll walk for probably hour hour and a half, sometimes
two hours, and then by that time it's usually lunchtime
because I've been fasting, so I'm hungry, and so I'll
stop and grab something to eat, or it might go
to lunch with Tammer or do something. And then if
(02:02):
I've slepped good the night before, I won't take a
short nap. Sometimes I might take a power nap of
fifteen or twenty minutes, and then I go right back
to work, and I'm I keep.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
My word.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Microsoft Word open all the time. Start to say word perfect,
I keep word open all the time. Are you.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
When I said word my brain mean me? He went
to word perfect.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
How old did that? That was an eighties program.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It was the law It was the Lawyer's program. We
did not use Microsoft Word at all. Every lawyer used
word perfect, and man, we couldn't wait for an update.
And you know what was great about word perfect was
everything was formatted for briefs or memos or letters to clients.
(02:52):
It had all the great fonts that you know, because
in a court brief, margins have to be I mean,
this is how silly, silly, I understand why, but it
seems silly to a layman. A brief or emotion has
to have a certain margin at the top, certain margin
at the bottom, certain margins on the side, and they're
all different. If it's a brief, it has to be
(03:15):
styled a certain way. Motions have to be styled a
certain way, Footnotes have to be styled a certain way.
And word perfect did all of it for you automatically.
Is wonderful. And then so word perfect spilled over and
that became just what we use for letters to clients
or anything else. And then it died.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Apparently the French judiciary still uses it here as of
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
The what judiciary the French judiciary?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Really? Yeah, I didn't even know it still existed.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
The same here, That's why I had to look it up.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So word perfect still exists as a standalone word processor.
I think so, but it's only in French. Yes, well,
maybe we should just do our you know, do all
of our legal briefs and French see what capitalist uses.
I'm sure he uses Microsoft Word. No nobody uses word
and I don't think it's even available anymore. So that's
(04:08):
my schedule, and that's how we do show. That's how
I do show prep. And then I come here in
the morning and Dragon will tell you that I come
in and I open, I open word word, I open
word perfect, I open I open Microsoft Word, and then
I open uh. And and in that word document are notes, hyperlinks,
(04:34):
cut and paste, some things that I want to read verbatim.
That's all there. And then there are certain like I
got my I've got three tabs of just my X
account open, because there are things that I'll bookmark that
are either sound bites I want to use or data
that I want to use, or something that I get
off X. So that's all there, and that's and that's
(04:56):
how we do the program. And that's what I've been
doing for the past three hours. And now I'm sick
of it. I've just reached that point where if I
see Teriff one more time, I'm gonna scream. In fact,
let me let me shut out, shut down Drudge, because
I don't want to stare at that red ink anymore.
This this first story really bothers me. Comes from westward.
(05:21):
Reports of blocked bike lanes are and the words isn't
quote quotation marks reports of blocked bike lanes exploding in Denver.
Now are the reports exploding or the blocked bike lanes exploding?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Hmmm?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And the intro says that Denver cyclists run into all
kinds of obstacles, including blocked bike lanes. Every Tuesday, Lushia
Brown avoids trash and recycle binds set out on the
bike lanes at Bannock Street. And that's on top of
the usual blocking blocking she finds on her daily commute
(06:06):
through the Baker neighborhood. She says, you're forced to mix
in with traffic and that doesn't feel good. It's a
serious annoyance, you know. That's what I refer to you drive,
You're you're a serious annoyance. You're like a blocked bike lane.
Then she then the story says that construction construction, there's
(06:29):
construction going on. Never construction on West Alameda near South
Platte River forces Brown to detour through an industrial area
where big trucks block the bike lanes. What's they call
the cops built the meter maids give tickets to you
block a bu bike lane? When passing businesses, she swings
(06:53):
around the delivery trucks backed into bike lanes as drivers
unload cargo into the stores. Well, what are they supposed
to do? What are these? On her way home, she's
bound to find uber and Lyft drivers parked in bike
lanes while picking up passengers. Well that's better than parking
in the in the street and blocking the traffic, I say,
touchet uber and Lyft. Then she writes, or she says,
(07:18):
there are a lot of people who would like to
ride their bike more but don't feel comfortable because of traffic.
Will then move out of Denver, move somewhere where there's
any traffic, or better yet, obey the rules of the road.
I you know, my son is a fanatic bike rider,
(07:38):
mountain biking, fat biking, street biking, bike racing area. I
mean he's a fanatic about it. And I'll ask him like,
do you obey the rules of the road, And he's like, yeah,
because I want to live. I understand the laws of physics,
and even if I'm in the right of way, if
(08:00):
I'm dead, it doesn't matter if I had the ride away.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, bike versus car, one of these things is bigger, but.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
These these truckers, these people driving either delivery trucks or
the eighteen wheelers, and they and they're backing into the
dock so they can offload their their goods from China
that we're gonna tariff. See, I couldn't avoid tariffs. How
dare they block a bike lane? They should park on
the street and then we should hire illegal aliens to
(08:32):
take Dolly's and move all the stuff into the into
the warehouse.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I'm curious as to when she's riding your bike because
when my family owned the subway franchise, most of our
deliveries were done before the story even opened, and that was,
you know, four or five o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Did you have a sign on the back of your door,
no deliveries between a certain hour.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I've seen that on some places, no deliveries between like
ten and two or something. She says, if someone brings
their kids into a bike lane because it's safer, but
there's something in there that's forcing you and your kids
out into the traffic, that's going to have a real
dampening effect on people wanting alternative modes of transportation. Frustrated
(09:14):
cyclists have created their own ways to report obstructions in Denver.
After Chicago resident Christina Whitehouse was almost hit by a
car while in a bike lane, she created the bike
Lane Uprising app, similar to the now defunct app Things
in the Bike Lane Denver. Her app allows bike bikers
(09:37):
to take out their phones. Can you can you ride
a bike in text and bike at the same time? Legally,
that's what I want to know. Who somebody let or no?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I mean, it would seem much more dangerous than driving.
I know, does actually have to take your hand, and
it's it's harder to ride a bike. And if you're
gonna do two handed texting, then you have no and
you get a sabella on balance.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
That's just which.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
People can do. I've seen people riding. I've seen bikers
heading down University with you know, both hands off, you know,
they're stretching their backs or whatever, and I'm thinking, you know,
you just hit a rock or something and boom, you're gone.
You're gone. Let's see her apple allows bike bikers to
take out their phones and report bike lane obstructions to
a central database that posts live updates and a map
(10:23):
of hotspots of the most reported blockages. I gotta go
find this. She says, the number of reported obstructions is
exploding cars, wastebinds, glass potholes, flooding, and construction are a
slice of what local cyclists have recorded on the Bike
(10:44):
Lane Uprising app. Well we got the same thing, cars too,
damn many cars, waistbinds, same thing. If it's not wastebinds,
it's the trash on the highway. Good grief, the trash
on the highways in Colorado. Mostly the obstructions are downtown.
Well it's because downtown's a crap hole place anyway. Shocking.
(11:06):
I know only over seventy nine percent of bike lane
instructions in Denver currently listed on the APP are vehicles. Well,
maybe that's because they built the bike lanes in the
traffic lanes. Stop it is that Dom's domb one. Come
(11:27):
on back there, we got an engineering problem. Let's see
what else. Brown just wishes city enforcement agents would stop
more of the obstruction she sees every day. I'd like
to be able to ride my bike without my family
having to worry if I'm going to be all right.
I'd like to see more people getting out there and
taking an advantage of our great sunny weather and the
infrastructure that's out there. We've just got to keep the
(11:48):
pressure on the city to continue building out great infrastructure
that makes it safe for court. So highed of that crap.
Let's see, well, here's a feel good story how the
free line bike program changed to Denver homeless man's life again.
(12:09):
From westward, Max Cortel traveled over four thousand miles on
line bikes between four and nine a m in twenty
twenty four. He started at rock bottom, moved into the
Never Rescue Mission. His roommate attempted suicide, He ended up homeless, unemployed, depressed.
(12:29):
Starting in twenty twenty five, he lost one hundred and
fifteen pounds, got a job as a security dispatcher at
Denver Health, and then set a global record for riding
the most miles on line bikes in the early mornings
of twenty twenty four. I don't see the causal link here.
So your roommates attempt suicide, you move into the Denver
(12:52):
Rescue Mission, you become homeless, unemployed, and depressed. Then you
gain weight. He was nearly three hundred pounds starting that.
This is in twenty twenty three. Then by the beginning
of twenty twenty five, he had lost one hundred and
fifteen pounds, gotten a job as a security dispatcher at
(13:13):
Denver Health. And then it says, and set a global
record for riding the most miles on line bikes in
the early mornings of twenty twenty four. What does that
have to do with writing the the line bikes, the
line scooters, these scooters. It seems to me you made
a choice that you were going to lose weight find
a job. And I mean, if the scooters got you
(13:36):
to your job, that's great, But setting a record, I
don't see what. I don't see what's setting the record
has to do with changing your life. But I'm glad
you did. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad you did,
and I'm very happy for you. But Westward's getting desperate
for a story now. I yesterday, Timer and I decided
(13:56):
the last minute, we're going to eat some Chinese food.
So we were We've been I've been watching you know,
the weather, I'm KdV R as I normally do, and
so we left the TV on when we walked out,
because well, because we're well, we have white privilege and
we can leave the TV on for the dogs. And
I thought the dogs might want to know what the
weather report, the forecast is for today, so they would
(14:17):
know whether or we're gonna go out and walk in
you know, the hot weather, because to them this is hot,
or we're gonna walk in you know, rainy or snowy weather.
And then when we come back in, Wheel of Fortune
is on. Now I don't watch Wheel of Fortune, but
guess what Wheel of Fortune is this week? Do you know? Dragon?
It's the iHeart Week. So Ryan Seacrest, the host of
(14:40):
the Hosts, among you know the iHeart Hosts, is hosting
Wheel of Fortune. Does he do that permanently or is
that temporary?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I don't know and I don't care. Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Anyway, they got the iHeart logos spread everywhere. But there
was as I changed channels or some I think timers
changing channels. There was something about Jessica Simpson drinks snake
sperm in order to become a great singer. This comes
(15:14):
to us from from page six, So there's all you
need to know. Jessica Simpson insists that drinking snake sperm
helps her vocals. The Reptilian beverage tastes like a really
dark honey. When asked whether she would be interested in
(15:34):
officially endorsing the Chinese product. The Employee of the Month
star joked, well, I can't even read the bottle, so
I don't know how good I would be on some infomercial.
Maybe I'll make my own. Maybe maybe sure I should
do that. Why did you what? You just saw snake
sperm and printed this off?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Uh huh?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
And there, last, but not least, this isn't new Americans
not exactly getting charged up about EV's the five billion
dollars Biden era nationally elect Like Vehicle Infrastructure Act to
construct a national charging network didn't exactly roll out quickly,
(16:20):
didn't roll out at all. I don't think. Uh, that's
just a description of all the there's nothing in here dragon.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well you're complaining like I read it. Huh. I just
saw the headline and went okay, Well the headline.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Is America is not exactly getting charged up. Haha. How
clever about EV. And then, last, but not least, Nevada
man Nevada man Nevada. Nevada arrested after seven emotional support
tigers were seized from his home. What was that act?
What were the two guys that had the tigers in
(16:59):
Vegas sek freedom. Was it then? Who told you that?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I heard some other voice kellyping?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
She had no clue who it was.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Did you The one guy got attacked and now he's dead,
right uh?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
A seventy one year old man was arrested in Uhon
for having seven emotional support tigers in his home. This
fight's been going on since twenty twenty. He's swinging for
a million dollars in damage. He was released on six
thousand dollars bail. He did not respond to your request
(17:31):
for comment. I'd like to having emotionally supporting producers. What
I'd like to have.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
When a bicyclist or a pedestrian.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Tells me, well, I have the ride away, my standard
response is I'll make sure they put that on your tombstone.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
You know, if we just wanted to do bikes the
rest of the for the next half hour, we could
just do bikes to wall. You get people all start
up about that. So somebody asked AI to answer this question.
Let me pull back up. I asked this is on X.
(18:20):
I asked GROC which is the Twitter AI, to create
a comprehensive list of all taxes and fees that Jared
Polis signed into law. Needless to say, this list is long.
I don't want to go through the entire list, but
this is a summary of this. First of all, this
(18:42):
is groc's reply. Blow is a summary of notable tax
increases in fee signed into law by Colorado Governor Jared
Polis during his tenure, based on available information up to
April third. Polis has generally positioned himself as a governor
focused on reducing taxes and fee where possible, but some
legislation that he assigned includes new or increased fees, often
(19:06):
tied to specific policy goals like transportation, which let me
just footnote here. You know that the fat taxes and
fees that we pay to transportation are not going to
what you and I think of as transportation, like you know, roads, bridges,
and highways, to environmental protection or public health. Note that
(19:26):
this list focuses on explicit tax increases or new fees
and excludes tax couch credits or other relief measures unless
they are directly tied to an increase somewhere else. Are
you ready? June seventeen, twenty twenty one. Transportation funding fees
(19:48):
a road usage fee starting at two cents per gallon,
increasing to eight cents by twenty twenty eight, the delivery
fee that twenty seven cent fee, a ride sharing fee
at eleven and a quarter cents per ride, and increasing
over time. Electric vehicle registration fee starting at fifty dollars extra,
(20:09):
phased in with inflation adjustments to offset their lack of
fuel tax contributions. To raise about five point four billion
dollars over a decade for roads. Okay, good bridges, great
transit and climate friendly transportation options. Now where do you think? Now?
(20:37):
The Common Sense Institute has done study. I don't have
it in fun of me, but you can go read
the study of the five point four billion dollars supposedly
to be raised over a decade starting in twenty twenty two.
How much of that is going to road bridges versus
going to transit or climate friendly transportation. Well, we now know,
based on the Common Sense Institute, that most of it
(20:59):
is not going to roads bridges, it's not going to highways,
it's not going to potholes, it's not going to reservicing. No,
it's going to climate friendly transportation options like bike lanes.
What stupid bike lanes? Number two. This was June sixth,
twenty twenty four oil and gas production fee. Oh, it's
(21:20):
a fee. It's not a tax, A fee of up
to six cents per barrel of oil and gas produced.
By the way, you don't produce a barrel of gas.
You produce a cubic foot of gas. But I digress.
With the proceeds directed toward transit projects like the Front
(21:41):
Range passenger rail and Bustang bus services, as well as
land restoration. Yeah, that's I need good. They're trying to
offset pollution. According to the AI, the rental car fee
impose it. Have you ever, when's the last time you
(22:02):
rented a car? So the rental hurts will quote you, hey,
you can. You can rent this Jaguar for forty five
dollars a day. But then when you go to look
at all the fees and the taxes and the excise
taxes and the excise fees and everything else added, that
forty five dollars a day for your Jaguar instantly becomes oh,
(22:22):
it's two hundred and forty five dollars a day. This
is a two to three dollars a day fee on
rentals to ensure that tourists help pay for the wear
and tear in Colorado, roads, so come to Colorado, but
pay for the roads. A property tax filing fee increase
(22:45):
increases the filing fees to get your property tax exemption,
raises the fee for submitting property tax exemption applications, though
exact amounts vary by property type in our modestn scale.
The Pharmacy Benefit Managed Manager registration fee. This is May
of twenty three established as a fee based registration program
(23:06):
for pharmacy benefit managers. They got to pay an annual
registration fee so they can operate in Colorado. It's enforced
by the Colorado Commissioner on Insurance why to fund oversight
and regulation of the PBMs to ensure they engage in
fair practices in drug pricing. You know, that's a great
(23:27):
example of how do you measure that and do you
really believe that the Commissioner of Insurance is doing that?
And how much of that fee is going to pay
auditors or actuaries or you know, financial forensic analysts to
actually see and they gain and find out whether they, hey,
(23:49):
is my drug price right? Is it? You have no
idea and neither do they. A geothermal energy tax credit
offering that was announced in twenty two, twenty three an
administrative fees tied to the geo thermal energy grant program,
though these are not direct taxes on individuals, but rather
(24:10):
cost borne by program participants for the state. Wait a minute,
it seems like you are indeed charging a fee. They
want to fund geo thermal heating projects. Oh, so you're
going to collect the tax in order to give a grant.
(24:32):
They awarded fourteen point four million dollars in twenty twenty three.
Let's see twenty nineteen, his first year in office. House
to build nineteen twelve fifty seven will not a direct
tax increase. It enabled local governments to seek voter approval
(24:55):
for retaining the excess revenue under TABOR. That's the first.
That's the first big fight to destroy TABOR. And then
you get SB nineteen two two four. Regulation of tobacco
sales increase licensing fees for tobacco retailers, raise the annual fee.
And what was it to do to regulate tobaco sales
(25:17):
and fund compliance efforts. Let's go to twenty twenty. Cigarette
tax increase from eighty four cents to a dollar ninety
four per pack by next year. Other tobacco products tax
increase from forty to fifty percent new vaping tax of
thirty percent, rising to sixty two percent by twenty twenty seven.
(25:40):
And that's to fund the preschool program, education and health
initiatives with one hundred and seventy five million dollars annually. Now,
what it doesn't tell you is that preschool program that
this tax is supposed to pay for. Now, in fact,
the preschool program itself is completely in shambles. So there
(26:01):
you're paying tax for something that's not working. Alcohol delivery
fees imposed a one hundred dollars annual delivery permit fee
for liquor licensees. Okay, let's see in twenty twenty one,
you got the road usage fee, you got the delivery free,
the ride sharing fee you have, oh, the plastic bag fee.
By the way, we may get I'm not gonna tell
(26:24):
you who or when because it's it's on this list,
but we might at some point get a color of
Open Records Act request so we can analyze and find
out where is the ten cent fee per plastic bag going,
and how much of it has been distributed and for
(26:45):
what purpose? Wouldn't you like to know? I mean, I'd
love to know. Let's see in twenty twenty two, another
another repeal of Tabor. Twenty twenty three, the retail delivery
fee adjustment went from twenty seven to twenty eight, isn't it?
I think it's isn't it twenty nine cents now?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
So it's I think it's gone up pretty eight I thought,
But I could be what twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I thought?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Okay, so it hasn't gone up yet, so it's still
twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
So I started twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, it's now got up to twenty. It went up
to twenty eight cents starting July one of twenty twenty three.
The stockpile sales tax exemption fee adjusted tax exemptions with
administrative fees imposed a small fee set by regulation for
businesses to apply for a sales tax exemption on emergency
stock piles. And what's that four to cover administrative costs.
(27:36):
So you're going to pay a fee for them to
regulate you. Oh, I hadn't gotten to twenty twenty four.
I'll retweet this. You can find it on my ex account.
We'll be right back right this significance.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yes, I think you all to let dragons free plant
a whole shoe stock.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
So thing back to all those fees and taxes. By
the way, I've reposted it on my x timeline so
you can go read it for yourself. The majority of
if not almost all of them, seem to be related
to the environment. And of course, if you talked any
member of the Church of the climate activists, they're all
ecstatic about all these fees and regulations that are supposed
(28:23):
to mandate this reduction in greenhouse gass e missions, except
that developers and economists. So developers understand why, but economists
have no reason to be leaning one way or the other.
They're giving a grade of D and F respectively. Developers
are giving a D. Economists are giving an F to
(28:47):
Colorado and Denver in particular for all of these fee
funded regulations about the environment. For example, in Denver, the
Energized Denver Ordinance, adopted back in twenty twenty one, is
set a goal to reduce carbon emissions from large commercial
buildings by thirty percent by twenty thirty and by eighty
(29:12):
percent by twenty forty. Then the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission,
another deep state bureaucratic mumbo jumbo bull crap, they passed
their own regulation, their own packager regulations called Regulation twenty
eight after the legislature the POLUP Bureau passed that what
(29:34):
can only be described as a landmark climate bill back
in twenty twenty one. So now here we are in
twenty twenty five and where has it gotten us? Well,
it shows that there is a huge lag in economic
contributions that Colorado made that came from commercial development in
comparison to those of states around US, most notably Utah, Wyoming, Kansas,
(30:00):
New Mexico all throughout the Rocky Mountain region. One year ago,
the NAIOP the national it's a Commercial Real Estate and
History Association fifty state data showed that input to Colorado's
broadery economy from development and improvement of hotels, apartments, large
(30:24):
retail and offices was fourteen point eight one billion dollars.
Fourteen point eight billion dollars. That was the contribution by
the very businesses that are now being regulated, are now
being subject to these environmental regulations. So the fourteen point
eight billion dollars dropped last dropped from that fourteen point
(30:48):
eight billion dollars dropped two six point six seven billion
dollars in twenty twenty four. That is a fifty five
percent drop. But let's compare it the study. The same
study shows that Utah having gotten multiple favorable impacts from
(31:12):
commercial development in twenty twenty four. Other nearby states show
some declines at a moment when interest rates are probably
affecting real estate spending, but there's nothing on the size
of Colorado's loss. Carl Coldlean, president of Coldland Company, one
of the biggest industrial developers in the state, says what's
(31:38):
being asked of developers does not comport with what's feasible,
so they've started looking outside Colorado for their next development projects.
So they're going elsewhere. In other words, what we're doing
is we're driving business out of the state of Colorado
because we want to regulate CO two and the goals
(32:01):
are unachievable. The consequences of the POLYP Bureau is that
we're a craphole state now. Denver in particular has seen
a fifty five percent drop in industrial, retail large scale
development because they can't afford to do it. There's not
(32:21):
a return on investment. That stupid energized Denver regulation, which
Mike Johnson has tried to like. Okay, let's delay. Part
of it requires larger buildings fifty thousand square feet or
more or any city buildings twenty five thousand feet are
larger to cut their carbon use by those figures, I
was telling you you simply cannot do that. And then
(32:45):
with Excel increasing the cost of electricity. If you try
to first of all, to reduce the carbon footprint, it's
not just the type of energy you use to you know,
heat and cool your building. It's also the building materials
you use, because that has a carbon footprint also. And
they're trying to reduce all of that, all in the
(33:05):
name of saving the environment, all part of the church
of the climate activists. And what are they doing. You
think Denver sucks? Now, wait until these developers start pulling in,
Wait until growth begins to turn into negative territory. Yeah,
Denver will become even more of a craphole city. You
(33:27):
want to see the full story in the Denver Gazette.
It was from April five. It's a great in depth story.
Denver Gazette did an incredible job reporting on it.
Charles Francis Potter and John J. Dumpy both admit that
the public school system in America is basically a school
of humanism, and that it needs to be the battleground
to teach humanism. The truth of the matter is is
(00:20):
that humanism is just a part of something greater, that
of far left progressivism.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Communism, the absence of God, the absence of any higher
being that we feel answerable to. I need a palate cleansing.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Dragon, Just go to any one of my stories.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
That's That's what I've got here. This is we should
call it. It's palate cleansing because I've been so serious.
By the way. Somebody asked on the on the text
line if I had a link to a story that
(01:01):
I was using, and I can tell you that I don't,
because if i'm if I'm ever reading a paragraph from
a story, I'll tell you that.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
But we and then I generally try and find the
yeah drag yeah dragon.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
We can try to find it and put it up,
but most of the time I'm I'm riffing. And this
is extemporaneous based on notes and highlights that I've made
from stuff that i've so so here's what I do
I today. Today's a little different because I have an
appointment this afternoon, but I generally go home after the show,
(01:40):
and I grab the dogs and we go for a walk.
We'll walk for probably hour hour and a half, sometimes
two hours, and then by that time it's usually lunchtime
because I've been fasting, so I'm hungry, and so I'll
stop and grab something to eat, or it might go
to lunch with Tammer or do something. And then if
(02:02):
I've slepped good the night before, I won't take a
short nap. Sometimes I might take a power nap of
fifteen or twenty minutes, and then I go right back
to work, and I'm I keep.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
My word.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Microsoft Word open all the time. Start to say word perfect,
I keep word open all the time. Are you.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Well?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
When I said word my brain mean me? He went
to word perfect.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
How old did that? That was an eighties program.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
It was the law It was the Lawyer's program. We
did not use Microsoft Word at all. Every lawyer used
word perfect, and man, we couldn't wait for an update.
And you know what was great about word perfect was
everything was formatted for briefs or memos or letters to clients.
(02:52):
It had all the great fonts that you know, because
in a court brief, margins have to be I mean,
this is how silly, silly, I understand why, but it
seems silly to a layman. A brief or emotion has
to have a certain margin at the top, certain margin
at the bottom, certain margins on the side, and they're
all different. If it's a brief, it has to be
(03:15):
styled a certain way. Motions have to be styled a
certain way, Footnotes have to be styled a certain way.
And word perfect did all of it for you automatically.
Is wonderful. And then so word perfect spilled over and
that became just what we use for letters to clients
or anything else. And then it died.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Apparently the French judiciary still uses it here as of
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
The what judiciary the French judiciary?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Really? Yeah, I didn't even know it still existed.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
The same here, That's why I had to look it up.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
So word perfect still exists as a standalone word processor.
I think so, but it's only in French. Yes, well,
maybe we should just do our you know, do all
of our legal briefs and French see what capitalist uses.
I'm sure he uses Microsoft Word. No nobody uses word
and I don't think it's even available anymore. So that's
(04:08):
my schedule, and that's how we do show. That's how
I do show prep. And then I come here in
the morning and Dragon will tell you that I come
in and I open, I open word word, I open
word perfect, I open I open Microsoft Word, and then
I open uh. And and in that word document are notes, hyperlinks,
(04:34):
cut and paste, some things that I want to read verbatim.
That's all there. And then there are certain like I
got my I've got three tabs of just my X
account open, because there are things that I'll bookmark that
are either sound bites I want to use or data
that I want to use, or something that I get
off X. So that's all there, and that's and that's
(04:56):
how we do the program. And that's what I've been
doing for the past three hours. And now I'm sick
of it. I've just reached that point where if I
see Teriff one more time, I'm gonna scream. In fact,
let me let me shut out, shut down Drudge, because
I don't want to stare at that red ink anymore.
This this first story really bothers me. Comes from westward.
(05:21):
Reports of blocked bike lanes are and the words isn't
quote quotation marks reports of blocked bike lanes exploding in Denver.
Now are the reports exploding or the blocked bike lanes exploding?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Hmmm?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
And the intro says that Denver cyclists run into all
kinds of obstacles, including blocked bike lanes. Every Tuesday, Lushia
Brown avoids trash and recycle binds set out on the
bike lanes at Bannock Street. And that's on top of
the usual blocking blocking she finds on her daily commute
(06:06):
through the Baker neighborhood. She says, you're forced to mix
in with traffic and that doesn't feel good. It's a
serious annoyance, you know. That's what I refer to you drive,
You're you're a serious annoyance. You're like a blocked bike lane.
Then she then the story says that construction construction, there's
(06:29):
construction going on. Never construction on West Alameda near South
Platte River forces Brown to detour through an industrial area
where big trucks block the bike lanes. What's they call
the cops built the meter maids give tickets to you
block a bu bike lane? When passing businesses, she swings
(06:53):
around the delivery trucks backed into bike lanes as drivers
unload cargo into the stores. Well, what are they supposed
to do? What are these? On her way home, she's
bound to find uber and Lyft drivers parked in bike
lanes while picking up passengers. Well that's better than parking
in the in the street and blocking the traffic, I say,
touchet uber and Lyft. Then she writes, or she says,
(07:18):
there are a lot of people who would like to
ride their bike more but don't feel comfortable because of traffic.
Will then move out of Denver, move somewhere where there's
any traffic, or better yet, obey the rules of the road.
I you know, my son is a fanatic bike rider,
(07:38):
mountain biking, fat biking, street biking, bike racing area. I
mean he's a fanatic about it. And I'll ask him like,
do you obey the rules of the road, And he's like, yeah,
because I want to live. I understand the laws of physics,
and even if I'm in the right of way, if
(08:00):
I'm dead, it doesn't matter if I had the ride away.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Yeah, bike versus car, one of these things is bigger, but.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
These these truckers, these people driving either delivery trucks or
the eighteen wheelers, and they and they're backing into the
dock so they can offload their their goods from China
that we're gonna tariff. See, I couldn't avoid tariffs. How
dare they block a bike lane? They should park on
the street and then we should hire illegal aliens to
(08:32):
take Dolly's and move all the stuff into the into
the warehouse.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I'm curious as to when she's riding your bike because
when my family owned the subway franchise, most of our
deliveries were done before the story even opened, and that was,
you know, four or five o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Did you have a sign on the back of your door,
no deliveries between a certain hour.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
I've seen that on some places, no deliveries between like
ten and two or something. She says, if someone brings
their kids into a bike lane because it's safer, but
there's something in there that's forcing you and your kids
out into the traffic, that's going to have a real
dampening effect on people wanting alternative modes of transportation. Frustrated
(09:14):
cyclists have created their own ways to report obstructions in Denver.
After Chicago resident Christina Whitehouse was almost hit by a
car while in a bike lane, she created the bike
Lane Uprising app, similar to the now defunct app Things
in the Bike Lane Denver. Her app allows bike bikers
(09:37):
to take out their phones. Can you can you ride
a bike in text and bike at the same time? Legally,
that's what I want to know. Who somebody let or no?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I mean, it would seem much more dangerous than driving.
I know, does actually have to take your hand, and
it's it's harder to ride a bike. And if you're
gonna do two handed texting, then you have no and
you get a sabella on balance.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
That's just which.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
People can do. I've seen people riding. I've seen bikers
heading down University with you know, both hands off, you know,
they're stretching their backs or whatever, and I'm thinking, you know,
you just hit a rock or something and boom, you're gone.
You're gone. Let's see her apple allows bike bikers to
take out their phones and report bike lane obstructions to
a central database that posts live updates and a map
(10:23):
of hotspots of the most reported blockages. I gotta go
find this. She says, the number of reported obstructions is
exploding cars, wastebinds, glass potholes, flooding, and construction are a
slice of what local cyclists have recorded on the Bike
(10:44):
Lane Uprising app. Well we got the same thing, cars too,
damn many cars, waistbinds, same thing. If it's not wastebinds,
it's the trash on the highway. Good grief, the trash
on the highways in Colorado. Mostly the obstructions are downtown.
Well it's because downtown's a crap hole place anyway. Shocking.
(11:06):
I know only over seventy nine percent of bike lane
instructions in Denver currently listed on the APP are vehicles. Well,
maybe that's because they built the bike lanes in the
traffic lanes. Stop it is that Dom's domb one. Come
(11:27):
on back there, we got an engineering problem. Let's see
what else. Brown just wishes city enforcement agents would stop
more of the obstruction she sees every day. I'd like
to be able to ride my bike without my family
having to worry if I'm going to be all right.
I'd like to see more people getting out there and
taking an advantage of our great sunny weather and the
infrastructure that's out there. We've just got to keep the
(11:48):
pressure on the city to continue building out great infrastructure
that makes it safe for court. So highed of that crap.
Let's see, well, here's a feel good story how the
free line bike program changed to Denver homeless man's life again.
(12:09):
From westward, Max Cortel traveled over four thousand miles on
line bikes between four and nine a m in twenty
twenty four. He started at rock bottom, moved into the
Never Rescue Mission. His roommate attempted suicide, He ended up homeless, unemployed, depressed.
(12:29):
Starting in twenty twenty five, he lost one hundred and
fifteen pounds, got a job as a security dispatcher at
Denver Health, and then set a global record for riding
the most miles on line bikes in the early mornings
of twenty twenty four. I don't see the causal link here.
So your roommates attempt suicide, you move into the Denver
(12:52):
Rescue Mission, you become homeless, unemployed, and depressed. Then you
gain weight. He was nearly three hundred pounds starting that.
This is in twenty twenty three. Then by the beginning
of twenty twenty five, he had lost one hundred and
fifteen pounds, gotten a job as a security dispatcher at
(13:13):
Denver Health. And then it says, and set a global
record for riding the most miles on line bikes in
the early mornings of twenty twenty four. What does that
have to do with writing the the line bikes, the
line scooters, these scooters. It seems to me you made
a choice that you were going to lose weight find
a job. And I mean, if the scooters got you
(13:36):
to your job, that's great, But setting a record, I
don't see what. I don't see what's setting the record
has to do with changing your life. But I'm glad
you did. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad you did,
and I'm very happy for you. But Westward's getting desperate
for a story now. I yesterday, Timer and I decided
(13:56):
the last minute, we're going to eat some Chinese food.
So we were We've been I've been watching you know,
the weather, I'm KdV R as I normally do, and
so we left the TV on when we walked out,
because well, because we're well, we have white privilege and
we can leave the TV on for the dogs. And
I thought the dogs might want to know what the
weather report, the forecast is for today, so they would
(14:17):
know whether or we're gonna go out and walk in
you know, the hot weather, because to them this is hot,
or we're gonna walk in you know, rainy or snowy weather.
And then when we come back in, Wheel of Fortune
is on. Now I don't watch Wheel of Fortune, but
guess what Wheel of Fortune is this week? Do you know? Dragon?
It's the iHeart Week. So Ryan Seacrest, the host of
(14:40):
the Hosts, among you know the iHeart Hosts, is hosting
Wheel of Fortune. Does he do that permanently or is
that temporary?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I don't know and I don't care. Uh.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Anyway, they got the iHeart logos spread everywhere. But there
was as I changed channels or some I think timers
changing channels. There was something about Jessica Simpson drinks snake
sperm in order to become a great singer. This comes
(15:14):
to us from from page six, So there's all you
need to know. Jessica Simpson insists that drinking snake sperm
helps her vocals. The Reptilian beverage tastes like a really
dark honey. When asked whether she would be interested in
(15:34):
officially endorsing the Chinese product. The Employee of the Month
star joked, well, I can't even read the bottle, so
I don't know how good I would be on some infomercial.
Maybe I'll make my own. Maybe maybe sure I should
do that. Why did you what? You just saw snake
sperm and printed this off?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Uh huh?
Speaker 2 (15:59):
And there, last, but not least, this isn't new Americans
not exactly getting charged up about EV's the five billion
dollars Biden era nationally elect Like Vehicle Infrastructure Act to
construct a national charging network didn't exactly roll out quickly,
(16:20):
didn't roll out at all. I don't think. Uh, that's
just a description of all the there's nothing in here dragon.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Well you're complaining like I read it. Huh. I just
saw the headline and went okay, Well the headline.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Is America is not exactly getting charged up. Haha. How
clever about EV. And then, last, but not least, Nevada
man Nevada man Nevada. Nevada arrested after seven emotional support
tigers were seized from his home. What was that act?
What were the two guys that had the tigers in
(16:59):
Vegas sek freedom. Was it then? Who told you that?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I heard some other voice kellyping?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
She had no clue who it was.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
Did you The one guy got attacked and now he's dead,
right uh?
Speaker 2 (17:11):
A seventy one year old man was arrested in Uhon
for having seven emotional support tigers in his home. This
fight's been going on since twenty twenty. He's swinging for
a million dollars in damage. He was released on six
thousand dollars bail. He did not respond to your request
(17:31):
for comment. I'd like to having emotionally supporting producers. What
I'd like to have.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
When a bicyclist or a pedestrian.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
Tells me, well, I have the ride away, my standard
response is I'll make sure they put that on your tombstone.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
You know, if we just wanted to do bikes the
rest of the for the next half hour, we could
just do bikes to wall. You get people all start
up about that. So somebody asked AI to answer this question.
Let me pull back up. I asked this is on X.
(18:20):
I asked GROC which is the Twitter AI, to create
a comprehensive list of all taxes and fees that Jared
Polis signed into law. Needless to say, this list is long.
I don't want to go through the entire list, but
this is a summary of this. First of all, this
(18:42):
is groc's reply. Blow is a summary of notable tax
increases in fee signed into law by Colorado Governor Jared
Polis during his tenure, based on available information up to
April third. Polis has generally positioned himself as a governor
focused on reducing taxes and fee where possible, but some
legislation that he assigned includes new or increased fees, often
(19:06):
tied to specific policy goals like transportation, which let me
just footnote here. You know that the fat taxes and
fees that we pay to transportation are not going to
what you and I think of as transportation, like you know, roads, bridges,
and highways, to environmental protection or public health. Note that
(19:26):
this list focuses on explicit tax increases or new fees
and excludes tax couch credits or other relief measures unless
they are directly tied to an increase somewhere else. Are
you ready? June seventeen, twenty twenty one. Transportation funding fees
(19:48):
a road usage fee starting at two cents per gallon,
increasing to eight cents by twenty twenty eight, the delivery
fee that twenty seven cent fee, a ride sharing fee
at eleven and a quarter cents per ride, and increasing
over time. Electric vehicle registration fee starting at fifty dollars extra,
(20:09):
phased in with inflation adjustments to offset their lack of
fuel tax contributions. To raise about five point four billion
dollars over a decade for roads. Okay, good bridges, great
transit and climate friendly transportation options. Now where do you think? Now?
(20:37):
The Common Sense Institute has done study. I don't have
it in fun of me, but you can go read
the study of the five point four billion dollars supposedly
to be raised over a decade starting in twenty twenty two.
How much of that is going to road bridges versus
going to transit or climate friendly transportation. Well, we now know,
based on the Common Sense Institute, that most of it
(20:59):
is not going to roads bridges, it's not going to highways,
it's not going to potholes, it's not going to reservicing. No,
it's going to climate friendly transportation options like bike lanes.
What stupid bike lanes? Number two. This was June sixth,
twenty twenty four oil and gas production fee. Oh, it's
(21:20):
a fee. It's not a tax, A fee of up
to six cents per barrel of oil and gas produced.
By the way, you don't produce a barrel of gas.
You produce a cubic foot of gas. But I digress.
With the proceeds directed toward transit projects like the Front
(21:41):
Range passenger rail and Bustang bus services, as well as
land restoration. Yeah, that's I need good. They're trying to
offset pollution. According to the AI, the rental car fee
impose it. Have you ever, when's the last time you
(22:02):
rented a car? So the rental hurts will quote you, hey,
you can. You can rent this Jaguar for forty five
dollars a day. But then when you go to look
at all the fees and the taxes and the excise
taxes and the excise fees and everything else added, that
forty five dollars a day for your Jaguar instantly becomes oh,
(22:22):
it's two hundred and forty five dollars a day. This
is a two to three dollars a day fee on
rentals to ensure that tourists help pay for the wear
and tear in Colorado, roads, so come to Colorado, but
pay for the roads. A property tax filing fee increase
(22:45):
increases the filing fees to get your property tax exemption,
raises the fee for submitting property tax exemption applications, though
exact amounts vary by property type in our modestn scale.
The Pharmacy Benefit Managed Manager registration fee. This is May
of twenty three established as a fee based registration program
(23:06):
for pharmacy benefit managers. They got to pay an annual
registration fee so they can operate in Colorado. It's enforced
by the Colorado Commissioner on Insurance why to fund oversight
and regulation of the PBMs to ensure they engage in
fair practices in drug pricing. You know, that's a great
(23:27):
example of how do you measure that and do you
really believe that the Commissioner of Insurance is doing that?
And how much of that fee is going to pay
auditors or actuaries or you know, financial forensic analysts to
actually see and they gain and find out whether they, hey,
(23:49):
is my drug price right? Is it? You have no
idea and neither do they. A geothermal energy tax credit
offering that was announced in twenty two, twenty three an
administrative fees tied to the geo thermal energy grant program,
though these are not direct taxes on individuals, but rather
(24:10):
cost borne by program participants for the state. Wait a minute,
it seems like you are indeed charging a fee. They
want to fund geo thermal heating projects. Oh, so you're
going to collect the tax in order to give a grant.
(24:32):
They awarded fourteen point four million dollars in twenty twenty three.
Let's see twenty nineteen, his first year in office. House
to build nineteen twelve fifty seven will not a direct
tax increase. It enabled local governments to seek voter approval
(24:55):
for retaining the excess revenue under TABOR. That's the first.
That's the first big fight to destroy TABOR. And then
you get SB nineteen two two four. Regulation of tobacco
sales increase licensing fees for tobacco retailers, raise the annual fee.
And what was it to do to regulate tobaco sales
(25:17):
and fund compliance efforts. Let's go to twenty twenty. Cigarette
tax increase from eighty four cents to a dollar ninety
four per pack by next year. Other tobacco products tax
increase from forty to fifty percent new vaping tax of
thirty percent, rising to sixty two percent by twenty twenty seven.
(25:40):
And that's to fund the preschool program, education and health
initiatives with one hundred and seventy five million dollars annually. Now,
what it doesn't tell you is that preschool program that
this tax is supposed to pay for. Now, in fact,
the preschool program itself is completely in shambles. So there
(26:01):
you're paying tax for something that's not working. Alcohol delivery
fees imposed a one hundred dollars annual delivery permit fee
for liquor licensees. Okay, let's see in twenty twenty one,
you got the road usage fee, you got the delivery free,
the ride sharing fee you have, oh, the plastic bag fee.
By the way, we may get I'm not gonna tell
(26:24):
you who or when because it's it's on this list,
but we might at some point get a color of
Open Records Act request so we can analyze and find
out where is the ten cent fee per plastic bag going,
and how much of it has been distributed and for
(26:45):
what purpose? Wouldn't you like to know? I mean, I'd
love to know. Let's see in twenty twenty two, another
another repeal of Tabor. Twenty twenty three, the retail delivery
fee adjustment went from twenty seven to twenty eight, isn't it?
I think it's isn't it twenty nine cents now?
Speaker 4 (27:05):
So it's I think it's gone up pretty eight I thought,
But I could be what twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (27:08):
I thought?
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Okay, so it hasn't gone up yet, so it's still
twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
So I started twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Yeah, it's now got up to twenty. It went up
to twenty eight cents starting July one of twenty twenty three.
The stockpile sales tax exemption fee adjusted tax exemptions with
administrative fees imposed a small fee set by regulation for
businesses to apply for a sales tax exemption on emergency
stock piles. And what's that four to cover administrative costs.
(27:36):
So you're going to pay a fee for them to
regulate you. Oh, I hadn't gotten to twenty twenty four.
I'll retweet this. You can find it on my ex account.
We'll be right back right this significance.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Yes, I think you all to let dragons free plant
a whole shoe stock.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
So thing back to all those fees and taxes. By
the way, I've reposted it on my x timeline so
you can go read it for yourself. The majority of
if not almost all of them, seem to be related
to the environment. And of course, if you talked any
member of the Church of the climate activists, they're all
ecstatic about all these fees and regulations that are supposed
(28:23):
to mandate this reduction in greenhouse gass e missions, except
that developers and economists. So developers understand why, but economists
have no reason to be leaning one way or the other.
They're giving a grade of D and F respectively. Developers
are giving a D. Economists are giving an F to
(28:47):
Colorado and Denver in particular for all of these fee
funded regulations about the environment. For example, in Denver, the
Energized Denver Ordinance, adopted back in twenty twenty one, is
set a goal to reduce carbon emissions from large commercial
buildings by thirty percent by twenty thirty and by eighty
(29:12):
percent by twenty forty. Then the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission,
another deep state bureaucratic mumbo jumbo bull crap, they passed
their own regulation, their own packager regulations called Regulation twenty
eight after the legislature the POLUP Bureau passed that what
(29:34):
can only be described as a landmark climate bill back
in twenty twenty one. So now here we are in
twenty twenty five and where has it gotten us? Well,
it shows that there is a huge lag in economic
contributions that Colorado made that came from commercial development in
comparison to those of states around US, most notably Utah, Wyoming, Kansas,
(30:00):
New Mexico all throughout the Rocky Mountain region. One year ago,
the NAIOP the national it's a Commercial Real Estate and
History Association fifty state data showed that input to Colorado's
broadery economy from development and improvement of hotels, apartments, large
(30:24):
retail and offices was fourteen point eight one billion dollars.
Fourteen point eight billion dollars. That was the contribution by
the very businesses that are now being regulated, are now
being subject to these environmental regulations. So the fourteen point
eight billion dollars dropped last dropped from that fourteen point
(30:48):
eight billion dollars dropped two six point six seven billion
dollars in twenty twenty four. That is a fifty five
percent drop. But let's compare it the study. The same
study shows that Utah having gotten multiple favorable impacts from
(31:12):
commercial development in twenty twenty four. Other nearby states show
some declines at a moment when interest rates are probably
affecting real estate spending, but there's nothing on the size
of Colorado's loss. Carl Coldlean, president of Coldland Company, one
of the biggest industrial developers in the state, says what's
(31:38):
being asked of developers does not comport with what's feasible,
so they've started looking outside Colorado for their next development projects.
So they're going elsewhere. In other words, what we're doing
is we're driving business out of the state of Colorado
because we want to regulate CO two and the goals
(32:01):
are unachievable. The consequences of the POLYP Bureau is that
