Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Michael and Dragon. I have a question for you.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you were to attend a free event at a
public facility, say at County Fairgrounds, and you were wearing
an article of clothing, say a hat, a T shirt, backpack, whatever,
and it has a slogan on it or an American flag,
the word USA, or make America great again, or go
from Mexico, or anything of that nature, do the organizers
(00:28):
at said facility have the ability to ask you to
remove that article of clothing because they think whatever slogan
it may be, which isn't rude or raunchy or inappropriate.
Somebody goes to the organizers and says, hey, that triggered me.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
They need to remove their hat, t shirt, backpack. Is
that a violation of free speech or not? What are
the rules?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Generally speaking, it is not a violation of the First Amendment. However,
it depends on the circumstances of whether or not you
are what you're attending is a public accommodation or not.
For example, there are stories about the airlines airlines requiring
(01:17):
someone to take what they consider to be an obscene
hoodie off. Most of the times those are upheld because
you are you're in a private facility which happens to
(01:40):
be the airline, and it's not generally open to the public,
so it's not technically a public accommodation. And the airlines,
i think, in almost all cases, have been upheld in
allowing or them being allowed to say you want to
fly with us. We think it's disruptive, and so we
(02:02):
make the determination that you can't. But you go to
a county fair, that you in a really gray area
because a county fair is the government county fair. You
go to some private circus probably be the same thing.
But a county fair put on you know, Pueblo or
(02:24):
the state fair down in Pueblo, I'm not sure they
can do it. The real question is why do you
ask what happened? That's what I really want to know. Polturia.
Stuff that I want to go through, one of which
was going to be Michael Brown minute, but Dragon's got
(02:46):
it here in Dragons pos All. He's got another one
too that I haven't really read yet, but I'm going
to get through it. But most municipal zoning codes require
are any kind of development, whether it's you know, in
a central business district or even a subdivision even in subdivisions,
(03:08):
you might have this requirement and that is a certain
number of parking spots to accommodate. What is the they
and they've got some formula, and that formula is based
on historical patterns of what kind of business you have.
You're opening a franchise somewhere, and you're going to build
(03:32):
a freestanding MacDonald someplace, Well, they have historical data that shows,
you know, how many customers they can expect based on
the population and the location and everything else. And so
to build that freestanding McDonald's, you're going to have to
have and a lot a certain number of parking spaces.
I think those are reasonable zoning regulations because we live
(03:58):
in a society that is automobile centric. I saw, speaking
of memes, I saw a funny meme on X yesterday
about why is it that Americans don't like to ride trains,
And the other half of the meme was because Americans
(04:23):
and them in flight. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty true. And
most European countries are tied together by an extensive rail
system because they're compact, close, easy to In fact, I
love riding the trains in most foreign countries, but not here.
(04:45):
We don't have the infrastructure, and every time we attempt
to build the infrastructure, it turns out to be a flop.
You know, we've watched what's happened in California with the
train to nowhere. It's billion into millions of dollars over budget.
They've barely built what maybe a mile or something of it.
And suppose he was going to connect I forget San
(05:07):
Francisco in La or La and eventually San Diego. I
don't know, but they haven't done anything, and it's just
cost overrun after cost overrun after cost overrun. Trump's threatened
to kill it. I don't know how he can, but
I hope that he does. It's stupid, because that will
set a precedent so that when Jared Polus wants to
build his stupid high speed rail from Fort Collins to Denver,
(05:31):
it's one it's never going to get built. The cost
over runs will be astronomical. And then think about the practicality.
Have you ever taken the Essella. The Essella is the
high speed rail that runs between Philadelphia and Boston. Primarily
it's used between d C and New York, but you
(05:52):
can you can travel from Philadelphia to d C to
New York and on to Boston. That train many a time.
It's America's so called high speed rail. I think now
it may have changed. It's been twenty years since I've
been on the Aessella. Now maybe less, but it's been
(06:13):
quite a while since I've been on the Essella. I
think the highest speed it ever attains, and that's only
for maybe thirty minutes, is eighty four miles an hour. Well,
between you and me, I can do better than that
on I twenty five coming back from the undisclosed location
in New Mexico. So why would I want to get
(06:35):
on a train. But here's the other kicker, here's why
our so called high speed rail is not high speed rail. One.
We are physically geographically spread out now, even along the
Front Range, where you might say, well, Michael, you know
it's not that far from Denver to Longmont to Loveland
(06:57):
to Fort Collins. It's not very far from you know,
denm to Loan Tree to Castle Rock to you know,
a monument to Colorado Springs. Aha. But therein lies the problem.
Every little government authority all the way from Fort Collins,
then to Loveland and then maybe at the BUCkies, and
(07:20):
then in Longmont, and then maybe at Highway fifty two,
and then somewhere at one hundred and twentieth or one
hundred and forty fourth, and then again somewhere at eighty fourth,
and then maybe finally from eighty fourth or maybe the
Boulder Turnpike all the way into downtown Denver. Every little
government entity will want what a stop? So you're gonna
(07:43):
have to stop it. You know what? Eight what I
outlined just eight or ten different places between Fort Collins
and Denver before you get and you're gonna do that
high speed. Do you know the physics of a train.
How long it takes this train to get up to
its maximum speed. You'll never get up to the maximum
speed before you reach it's the next stop and have
to slow down and come to a stop. So it's
(08:03):
never going to it's never going to come to fruition.
Well that's all a part of my beef about not
my beef. Well, yeah, he is a beef about zoning.
The Denver City Council advanced a proposal in a nine
to one vote last week to abolish the parking minimums.
(08:27):
This is a story that appeared in Westward Now when
I first read it, I misunderstood the headline. They want
to abolish the parking minimums. So Denver has a zoning ordinance,
and that zoning ordinance says, if you're going to build, say,
high rise apartments somewhere in Loto or you know, at
(08:49):
Broadway in or at I twenty five and Santa Fe
or I twenty five Broadway, and you're going to build
a complex that contains, you know, two hundred apartment which
would become small, but two hundred apartments, you need to
allocate two hundred parking spots, assuming that everyone's going to
(09:11):
have most people will have one vehicle if they don't
have a vehicle, they'll have visitors, you'll have service trucks,
you'll have delivery trucks, you'll have everything else coming in
and out serving that apartment. So you have parking minimums.
Denver wants to abolish those. So the apartment developer could
build a two hundred apartment, two hundred unit complex in
(09:35):
that crowded area already, and there'd be no place to
park and you have to go looking for street parking. Now,
why is that stupid? It's stupid because parking in Denver
is already a cluster, a cluster. F it's a disaster. Well, Westward,
(10:00):
some people what they thought about it. This gives me
hope that well, it doesn't give me hope. It proves
to me that there are some smart people and there
are some dumb people, and sometimes the dumb people outweigh
smart people. The trio of bills to remove parking minimums
from Denver zoning code passed a preliminary Denver City Council
(10:21):
vote on last Monday. The final council vote in public
hearing schedule for August four. In the meantime, readers of
Westward did not waste any time parking their opinions. Clever
wording there. Who wrote this, doesn't say Josh clever wording there, Josh.
In the meantime, Westward readers didn't waste time parking their
(10:43):
opinions on the Westward Facebook page. Says Jay, that's about
to be a disaster because it already is, adds Jonathan,
this is dumb as f There's already not enough parking
in Denver to facilitate the amount of people, especially around
the apartment complexes, and nobody's gonna want to live somewhere
that they have to fight to find street parking, responds Rick.
(11:09):
By the way, ricks must be cool because Rick is
spelled ryk. He has millennial parents, I guess, not boomer parents.
No boomer parents would never do that. There's plenty of parking,
and buildings can still provide whatever number of spaces they need.
No business will ignore the parking needs of their residents
and risks not being to fill their units. That's some
(11:33):
kind of stupid. He must not know. Developers build it
and they will come and then they'll bitch about, oh
there's not a garage, oh aug somewhere else. Well, trust me,
there's eight people behind the person that says they'll go
somewhere else that will do it, because well, they want
to write the RTD. Jeffrey sums it up perfectly. If
(11:56):
I didn't know any better, I think Dinner Denver was
past aggressively trying to get people to get rid of
their cars. No feasy, Sherlock. You think that's what it is.
Of course, that's what it is. Denver once again is
proving that they are just they're social, they're Marxists. They
(12:17):
want to control how you live, where you live, how
you get to and from you live, for where you
live to work and back and forth. You know, they
want you all to go to the you know, they
want you to go to whatever grocery store that they're
going to require be built. You know, with them, it's
a fifteen minute city. They're trying to turn Denver into
a fifteen minute city. Now this one, I hate, no
(12:43):
pun intended. I'm not sure I want to touch this one.
And you wonder why, compared to him, I think of
myself as Einstein, this the bowling one? Yes, how did you?
How did you know that? How did you live?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
The thing went over there?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
That you would pause for so long at You want
to go bowling? Not not with me, but you want
to go first of all, bowling.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
More than five years but less than ten. Okay, yeah,
I enjoyed bowling. I wasn't one time.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I enjoyed so much. You've gone five years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I'm busy. I'm working for my tips. I'm busy working
for tips. But I'm not sure I would do this bowling.
It seems like that could at times hurt like I
want them packaged. I want them you know, secure, not.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
See.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I don't know what I can say? Can I can
I use that phrase? This in the first sentence.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I didn't read the first I read the title. The
title's fine.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Okay, the title's fine.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
To the headline, hanh okay, that's the first sentence.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Balls out Bowling is back for the ultimate bowling experience.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah, bowling balls. What's the problem.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Okay. Pittsburgh Area Naturalists are hosting another balls out Bowling
event where you can bowl in the nude. I just
don't want to see it.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Unless you're from behind. Huh, especially from behind?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Well, if if they're all number ten models, they're all
like Playboy bunnies, then.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, but I don't think it's with that. I don't
think balls out Bowling means what you think.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
It means, the bowling balls.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I think you're wrong. I think you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
I have no idea what else it could be.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Okay, no photography, no photography or videos allowed, and the
event is a ticketed event. No tickets will be so
at the door. More info can be found here, which
is the website which I don't see balls out Bowling.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
You know what, if you want a free ball, it's
a ticket event. You have to buy it. It's not
free bawling.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
You've read the thing.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I'm just paying attention to what you read.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
What is the more common phrase that I love you
among couples over the age of fifty five, according to research. Huh,
so it must be true. But huh but that's exactly right,
that's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
What did you say?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
A poll of two thousand adults in relationships found nearly
half of all couples forty six percent have fallen out
because they haven't heard each other properly. While twenty have
we been married? That long?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Seems like we have been years? Have been together?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
How long?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Half years? Three years?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I don't know, but it's it seems like our thirtieth
It seems like our which is the go which is
the silver anniversaries? Is that twenty five or something? Seems
like we're celebrating our twenty fifth anniversary because it's been
a long, long slog. Uh. Twenty eight percent get into
an argument a few times a week at least over mishearings,
and this leaves them feeding a range of emotions when
(16:26):
not listened to. I listen, but sometimes I don't hear true.
And sometimes I don't listen because I'm I'm a man,
and I don't listen and I deeply, deeply apologize that
come won or she's with him listening distance, yet she's
(16:47):
on her way back from them. Just both location. That's
all I got, Stay tuned, I guess some other stuff.
(17:09):
Michael is the camera always within listening distance because she
should have the iHeart app and she can hear you
via streaming. Yeah, but she doesn't always listen. She gets
I have two wives. I have two, both redheaded, by
(17:32):
the way, and to think of it, one's just bald
and the other's not. An active shooter was killed this
morning after entering the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol building
near the Mcalli International Airport down Tajos. The gunman who
(17:59):
I can't find whose I can't find any Ida yet
ambush the federal agents during the incident. Now there was
a witness says the man was armed with a rifle
wearing tactical gear when he launched the attack. Border patrol
agents responded by neutralizing the threat. I love that language.
(18:21):
Here's how I would have written this story. According to
a witness, the man was armed with a rifle and
wearing tactical gear when he launched the attack. Border patrol
agents responded by inflicting a taxpayer relief shot or if
you want to conserve syllables. Border patrol agents responded by
(18:41):
killing him. They say it appears to be intentional Border
patrol agents purposely targeted. Indicates that a McAllen cop was
wounded during the exchange, but apparently he may be okay.
Now here's just for some perspective of the story. We
(19:02):
should not be surprised by this. This follows what weeks,
at least at least two weeks, if not longer, of
political agitation by Democrat lawmakers who some of who have
been directly I mean outright calling for action against US
immigrations and custom enforcement agents. And some Democrat officials have
(19:25):
actually been arrested for physically interfering with ICE, including remember
Congresswoman Lamonica MacIvor, the Democrat from New Jersey. She's been charged,
she's paid not guilty to assaulting in ICE in front
of a federal court back in June. Democrat Party vice
presidential nominee and president want to be governor Tim Wallas.
(19:46):
He has publicly likened ICE agents to the Gestapo, you
know from Hitler's Germany. Might just call him Hitler? Why not?
Right in June Cuddy, Hea California, the vice mayor, I
forget what her name was. She's the one that posted
the social media video and what she called upon Hispanic
(20:10):
gangs and the cartels to come defend illegal aliens from
ICE agents. If you don't think that there's a causal
link between the language and the actions of the I
forgot about Alligator Alligator Alcatraz. They all rush that facility
(20:31):
trying to get in there, and they were denied entry.
You know, if you're a member of Congress and you
know that, all you have to do is called the
Secretary of Homeland Securities Office or the White House. Either
one speak to either the chief of staff the deputy
chief of staff. Speak to the secretary or the deputy
(20:51):
or the undersecretary and say that you would like to
arrange a tour of any facility. They'll do that, but
they don't want that. They want because the cameras will follow,
the cameras and the microphones will show up, and they
(21:11):
want this violence. They want the encounters. The Democrats are despicable,
you know. I Trump said over the weekends, I think
in the speech that he gave in Ohio, something to
affect about how the Democrats hate Trump speaking in the
third term and in the third person, and he's third
(21:36):
term and speaking in the third person. But he went
on to say that he hates them too. I can say,
I really don't hate them in the meaning of hate.
In my brain, I despise them. I dislike them. I
think they're a bunch of goofballs. I think they're stupid.
I think they're idiots. I just have you know, in
(22:00):
many ways I feel sorry for them because they're so pathetic.
So this incident where they at the McCallen International Airport.
I may have flown into McCallen once or twice in
my life. Every single flight gets delayed while the authorities
tried to secure the area. That's the Democrats. So can
(22:26):
you imagine if we've got a plane out of Denver
International and yeah, it would probably be parked at the FBO,
it'd probably be parked over where FedEx and everybody else is.
But let's say it's over on the main runways, it's
parked over one of the concourses. Can you imagine them
(22:46):
delaying flights out of DEIA while the Denver Police Department
and the FBI, and well, I would say TSA, but
they're not much use while they try to secure the airport.
How pissed off would you be that your flight's delayed
because a bunch of Democrat elected officials who should know
(23:07):
better storm the airport. It's just it's totally absurd, and
they're doing it solely. This is all they got. All
they have is let's try to get the media to
let me rephrase that I was gonna say something really stupid.
I was gonna say, let's get let's let's try to
(23:29):
get the media to cover it. No, you don't have
to try it. All all you have to do is
tell the media that, hey, we're gonna show up at
this airport. We're gonna show up at McCallan because we
know they're getting ready to deport some illegal aliens and
we're gonna storm the place. Well you know that CNN
and MSNBC in the networks. Of course Fox will be
(23:49):
there too. They're all going to show up because they're
all looking for the fight and they and they know it.
This is when I think they ought to be charged.
I am not normally four. I mean, obviously, if you
commit a crime, you you know, you murder somebody and
you're a congressman, or you rape, or you molest a
(24:10):
kid or whatever, then yeah, I want you charged. But
if you show up at a facility that's a federal
facility and you, you know, just you show up and
you ask to be let in, I don't think I
don't even think that's trespassing. One, you're not inside the gate.
But when you start disrupting operations, now you you're involved
(24:34):
in disrupting the operations of federal authorities, and I think
you ought to be charged with it. Now, what's what's
the judge going to do? I have no idea. Unfortunately,
that's going to be the call of what kind of
judge do you get? Oh? It drives me crazy. Let's
(24:54):
go back to the nineteen nineties switch gears here. George
Soros Open Society Institute actually partnered with Radio Free Europe
and Radio Liberty, which at that time was a US
government funded independent public broadcaster, which is not really independent.
They partnered together to establish something called the Open Media
(25:18):
Research Institute omri OMRII. It was a joint venture headquartered
in the Czech capital of Prague. They took over the
analytical responsibilities of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberties dissolved
Research Institute and freely operated it from nineteen ninety four
(25:39):
to nineteen ninety seven. So Jenica pounds over on X
She goes by, if you don't follow this account, you
really need to follow this account. She's at Data Republican.
At Data Republican, if you follow her, tell her I
told you to follow her. She dug into the archive
material and it confirms that the OMRI work fed directly
(26:06):
into Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberties reporting. In other words,
their information services department ran all of the news. The
Open Society Foundation George Soros in partner with these Radio
Free Europe and Radio Liberty. They partnered up and they
(26:26):
wrote the news. They wrote the news for them. The documents,
according again to Data Republican, were later deposited with the
VERA and Donald Blincoln Open Society Archives, named after their father,
Anthony Blincoln, the Secretary of State under Joe Biden. Now
(26:48):
at the same time, Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty, classified
as a five one C three nonprofit operating under a
given taxpayer identification number, was and is still funded by
the US Agency for Global Media. In the last fiscal year,
they got more than one hundred and sixty seven million
(27:10):
dollars in federal funds, actually one sixty seven point seven
one sixty seven point five of which came from the
US Agency for Global Media. There were no sub recipients
listed for any of the monies. So the financial structure
of that arrangement does what That shows you that there
(27:31):
was a long running public private fusion partnership between our
federal government messaging efforts and Soros backed information infrastructure, all
operating under the guys are so called independent journalism. And
then the bleak in archives after they quit formally processed
(27:56):
revised the records back in two thousand and three. The
archival listing directly says that AMRI was the institutional successor
to the Radio Free Year from Radio Liberty's internal analysis unit,
but totally ignores that it was actually integrated with the
Soros back foundations due to the entirety operation. Kerry Lake
(28:22):
ran for governor and Senator in Arizona, who's running Radio
Free American now. For decades, American taxpayers have been forced
to bankroll an agency that's been riddled with dysfunction, bias,
and waste. And that ends now. I say, just get
rid of no I take that back. I don't want
(28:45):
to get rid of Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, I
don't want to get rid of any of them. I
think they serve a very good information source for people
who are hidden behind an iron curtain and can't get
the information that we can. But good grief, start stop
the partnering with Soros.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I love you, Michael, I do. I'm a I'm a
longtime avid listener. I'm in San Antonio, Texas. But this
is why they caught outrage radio this kind of news.
I mean, earlier we were rehashing the same old behavior
and a few little things changed.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
But this is the same we expected.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Now that we're angry all the time and you guys
love it. It's gonna be a falling down, you remember, Michael.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Michael, Michael. Thanks. I thought it was gonna say Douglas Michael.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
That was it started to sound like it was a
d so Michael, Douglas Michael. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
But what's gonna be the downfall?
Speaker 4 (29:48):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I mean, the cabal, Yeah, I think that will be
a downfall. You know, But but you raised the point
that I'm gonna let you derail the last segment of
the program. I have a really difficult time with show
prep because, for example, I spent a little over an
(30:13):
hour this morning about you say, you're down in San Antonio,
so you're already inundated with all the local news coverage
plus the national news coverage, so you can't escape it.
And now I'm very grateful that you're listening to me
in San Antonio. I appreciate that, but I can't let
(30:36):
what they're doing. I mean I can, because I make
a choice, and my choice is I have to point
out the falsehoods. And it's not always acts of co mission,
like claiming, oh, all these floods were caused by climate change.
That's an active co mission, that is actively telling you
(30:59):
that what occurs in Texas over the fourth of July
weekend was all because of climate change, and that's bull crap.
In fact, I've got some climate stuff I wanted to
get through today, but honestly, I was tired of talking
about Texas, so I saved it. I may do it
tomorrow about climate change, and I'm going to debunk that.
(31:19):
But it drives me personally crazy sometimes talking about these
things because I feel an obligation and then I choose
to come in here and debunk that stuff. Now, if
I'm angry, I'm not angry at any of you. I'm
angry at the dumbasses that are out there propagating all
(31:39):
the falsehoods about what's going on and the acts of
oh mission by not explaining why couldn't Fox News, For example,
I was furious at Fox News driving in Why couldn't
a Fox News said, Yes, this is a horrible tragedy,
And just to give you some perspective, similar tragedies have
happened in these exact same spots for the past hundred
(32:03):
years and more like way beyond before we even kept records.
Just to let people know that this is part of
living in a physical world where Mother Nature has the
last word.
Good morning, Michael and Dragon. I have a question for you.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
If you were to attend a free event at a
public facility, say at County Fairgrounds, and you were wearing
an article of clothing, say a hat, a T shirt, backpack, whatever,
and it has a slogan on it or an American flag,
the word USA, or make America great again, or go
from Mexico, or anything of that nature, do the organizers
(00:28):
at said facility have the ability to ask you to
remove that article of clothing because they think whatever slogan
it may be, which isn't rude or raunchy or inappropriate.
Somebody goes to the organizers and says, hey, that triggered me.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
They need to remove their hat, t shirt, backpack. Is
that a violation of free speech or not? What are
the rules?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Generally speaking, it is not a violation of the First Amendment. However,
it depends on the circumstances of whether or not you
are what you're attending is a public accommodation or not.
For example, there are stories about the airlines airlines requiring
(01:17):
someone to take what they consider to be an obscene
hoodie off. Most of the times those are upheld because
you are you're in a private facility which happens to
(01:40):
be the airline, and it's not generally open to the public,
so it's not technically a public accommodation. And the airlines,
i think, in almost all cases, have been upheld in
allowing or them being allowed to say you want to
fly with us. We think it's disruptive, and so we
(02:02):
make the determination that you can't. But you go to
a county fair, that you in a really gray area
because a county fair is the government county fair. You
go to some private circus probably be the same thing.
But a county fair put on you know, Pueblo or
(02:24):
the state fair down in Pueblo, I'm not sure they
can do it. The real question is why do you
ask what happened? That's what I really want to know. Polturia.
Stuff that I want to go through, one of which
was going to be Michael Brown minute, but Dragon's got
(02:46):
it here in Dragons pos All. He's got another one
too that I haven't really read yet, but I'm going
to get through it. But most municipal zoning codes require
are any kind of development, whether it's you know, in
a central business district or even a subdivision even in subdivisions,
(03:08):
you might have this requirement and that is a certain
number of parking spots to accommodate. What is the they
and they've got some formula, and that formula is based
on historical patterns of what kind of business you have.
You're opening a franchise somewhere, and you're going to build
(03:32):
a freestanding MacDonald someplace, Well, they have historical data that shows,
you know, how many customers they can expect based on
the population and the location and everything else. And so
to build that freestanding McDonald's, you're going to have to
have and a lot a certain number of parking spaces.
I think those are reasonable zoning regulations because we live
(03:58):
in a society that is automobile centric. I saw, speaking
of memes, I saw a funny meme on X yesterday
about why is it that Americans don't like to ride trains,
And the other half of the meme was because Americans
(04:23):
and them in flight. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty true. And
most European countries are tied together by an extensive rail
system because they're compact, close, easy to In fact, I
love riding the trains in most foreign countries, but not here.
(04:45):
We don't have the infrastructure, and every time we attempt
to build the infrastructure, it turns out to be a flop.
You know, we've watched what's happened in California with the
train to nowhere. It's billion into millions of dollars over budget.
They've barely built what maybe a mile or something of it.
And suppose he was going to connect I forget San
(05:07):
Francisco in La or La and eventually San Diego. I
don't know, but they haven't done anything, and it's just
cost overrun after cost overrun after cost overrun. Trump's threatened
to kill it. I don't know how he can, but
I hope that he does. It's stupid, because that will
set a precedent so that when Jared Polus wants to
build his stupid high speed rail from Fort Collins to Denver,
(05:31):
it's one it's never going to get built. The cost
over runs will be astronomical. And then think about the practicality.
Have you ever taken the Essella. The Essella is the
high speed rail that runs between Philadelphia and Boston. Primarily
it's used between d C and New York, but you
(05:52):
can you can travel from Philadelphia to d C to
New York and on to Boston. That train many a time.
It's America's so called high speed rail. I think now
it may have changed. It's been twenty years since I've
been on the Aessella. Now maybe less, but it's been
(06:13):
quite a while since I've been on the Essella. I
think the highest speed it ever attains, and that's only
for maybe thirty minutes, is eighty four miles an hour. Well,
between you and me, I can do better than that
on I twenty five coming back from the undisclosed location
in New Mexico. So why would I want to get
(06:35):
on a train. But here's the other kicker, here's why
our so called high speed rail is not high speed rail. One.
We are physically geographically spread out now, even along the
Front Range, where you might say, well, Michael, you know
it's not that far from Denver to Longmont to Loveland
(06:57):
to Fort Collins. It's not very far from you know,
denm to Loan Tree to Castle Rock to you know,
a monument to Colorado Springs. Aha. But therein lies the problem.
Every little government authority all the way from Fort Collins,
then to Loveland and then maybe at the BUCkies, and
(07:20):
then in Longmont, and then maybe at Highway fifty two,
and then somewhere at one hundred and twentieth or one
hundred and forty fourth, and then again somewhere at eighty fourth,
and then maybe finally from eighty fourth or maybe the
Boulder Turnpike all the way into downtown Denver. Every little
government entity will want what a stop? So you're gonna
(07:43):
have to stop it. You know what? Eight what I
outlined just eight or ten different places between Fort Collins
and Denver before you get and you're gonna do that
high speed. Do you know the physics of a train.
How long it takes this train to get up to
its maximum speed. You'll never get up to the maximum
speed before you reach it's the next stop and have
to slow down and come to a stop. So it's
(08:03):
never going to it's never going to come to fruition.
Well that's all a part of my beef about not
my beef. Well, yeah, he is a beef about zoning.
The Denver City Council advanced a proposal in a nine
to one vote last week to abolish the parking minimums.
(08:27):
This is a story that appeared in Westward Now when
I first read it, I misunderstood the headline. They want
to abolish the parking minimums. So Denver has a zoning ordinance,
and that zoning ordinance says, if you're going to build, say,
high rise apartments somewhere in Loto or you know, at
(08:49):
Broadway in or at I twenty five and Santa Fe
or I twenty five Broadway, and you're going to build
a complex that contains, you know, two hundred apartment which
would become small, but two hundred apartments, you need to
allocate two hundred parking spots, assuming that everyone's going to
(09:11):
have most people will have one vehicle if they don't
have a vehicle, they'll have visitors, you'll have service trucks,
you'll have delivery trucks, you'll have everything else coming in
and out serving that apartment. So you have parking minimums.
Denver wants to abolish those. So the apartment developer could
build a two hundred apartment, two hundred unit complex in
(09:35):
that crowded area already, and there'd be no place to
park and you have to go looking for street parking. Now,
why is that stupid? It's stupid because parking in Denver
is already a cluster, a cluster. F it's a disaster. Well, Westward,
(10:00):
some people what they thought about it. This gives me
hope that well, it doesn't give me hope. It proves
to me that there are some smart people and there
are some dumb people, and sometimes the dumb people outweigh
smart people. The trio of bills to remove parking minimums
from Denver zoning code passed a preliminary Denver City Council
(10:21):
vote on last Monday. The final council vote in public
hearing schedule for August four. In the meantime, readers of
Westward did not waste any time parking their opinions. Clever
wording there. Who wrote this, doesn't say Josh clever wording there, Josh.
In the meantime, Westward readers didn't waste time parking their
(10:43):
opinions on the Westward Facebook page. Says Jay, that's about
to be a disaster because it already is, adds Jonathan,
this is dumb as f There's already not enough parking
in Denver to facilitate the amount of people, especially around
the apartment complexes, and nobody's gonna want to live somewhere
that they have to fight to find street parking, responds Rick.
(11:09):
By the way, ricks must be cool because Rick is
spelled ryk. He has millennial parents, I guess, not boomer parents.
No boomer parents would never do that. There's plenty of parking,
and buildings can still provide whatever number of spaces they need.
No business will ignore the parking needs of their residents
and risks not being to fill their units. That's some
(11:33):
kind of stupid. He must not know. Developers build it
and they will come and then they'll bitch about, oh
there's not a garage, oh aug somewhere else. Well, trust me,
there's eight people behind the person that says they'll go
somewhere else that will do it, because well, they want
to write the RTD. Jeffrey sums it up perfectly. If
(11:56):
I didn't know any better, I think Dinner Denver was
past aggressively trying to get people to get rid of
their cars. No feasy, Sherlock. You think that's what it is.
Of course, that's what it is. Denver once again is
proving that they are just they're social, they're Marxists. They
(12:17):
want to control how you live, where you live, how
you get to and from you live, for where you
live to work and back and forth. You know, they
want you all to go to the you know, they
want you to go to whatever grocery store that they're
going to require be built. You know, with them, it's
a fifteen minute city. They're trying to turn Denver into
a fifteen minute city. Now this one, I hate, no
(12:43):
pun intended. I'm not sure I want to touch this one.
And you wonder why, compared to him, I think of
myself as Einstein, this the bowling one? Yes, how did you?
How did you know that? How did you live?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
The thing went over there?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
That you would pause for so long at You want
to go bowling? Not not with me, but you want
to go first of all, bowling.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
More than five years but less than ten. Okay, yeah,
I enjoyed bowling. I wasn't one time.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
I enjoyed so much. You've gone five years ago.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I'm busy. I'm working for my tips. I'm busy working
for tips. But I'm not sure I would do this bowling.
It seems like that could at times hurt like I
want them packaged. I want them you know, secure, not.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
See.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
I don't know what I can say? Can I can
I use that phrase? This in the first sentence.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
I didn't read the first I read the title. The
title's fine.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Okay, the title's fine.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
To the headline, hanh okay, that's the first sentence.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Balls out Bowling is back for the ultimate bowling experience.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah, bowling balls. What's the problem.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Okay. Pittsburgh Area Naturalists are hosting another balls out Bowling
event where you can bowl in the nude. I just
don't want to see it.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Unless you're from behind. Huh, especially from behind?
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Well, if if they're all number ten models, they're all
like Playboy bunnies, then.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, but I don't think it's with that. I don't
think balls out Bowling means what you think.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
It means, the bowling balls.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
I think you're wrong. I think you're wrong.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
I have no idea what else it could be.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Okay, no photography, no photography or videos allowed, and the
event is a ticketed event. No tickets will be so
at the door. More info can be found here, which
is the website which I don't see balls out Bowling.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
You know what, if you want a free ball, it's
a ticket event. You have to buy it. It's not
free bawling.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
You've read the thing.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
I'm just paying attention to what you read.
Speaker 3 (15:28):
What is the more common phrase that I love you
among couples over the age of fifty five, according to research. Huh,
so it must be true. But huh but that's exactly right,
that's exactly right.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
What did you say?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
A poll of two thousand adults in relationships found nearly
half of all couples forty six percent have fallen out
because they haven't heard each other properly. While twenty have
we been married? That long?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Seems like we have been years? Have been together?
Speaker 3 (16:02):
How long?
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Half years? Three years?
Speaker 3 (16:04):
I don't know, but it's it seems like our thirtieth
It seems like our which is the go which is
the silver anniversaries? Is that twenty five or something? Seems
like we're celebrating our twenty fifth anniversary because it's been
a long, long slog. Uh. Twenty eight percent get into
an argument a few times a week at least over mishearings,
and this leaves them feeding a range of emotions when
(16:26):
not listened to. I listen, but sometimes I don't hear true.
And sometimes I don't listen because I'm I'm a man,
and I don't listen and I deeply, deeply apologize that
come won or she's with him listening distance, yet she's
(16:47):
on her way back from them. Just both location. That's
all I got, Stay tuned, I guess some other stuff.
(17:09):
Michael is the camera always within listening distance because she
should have the iHeart app and she can hear you
via streaming. Yeah, but she doesn't always listen. She gets
I have two wives. I have two, both redheaded, by
(17:32):
the way, and to think of it, one's just bald
and the other's not. An active shooter was killed this
morning after entering the Rio Grande Valley Border Patrol building
near the Mcalli International Airport down Tajos. The gunman who
(17:59):
I can't find whose I can't find any Ida yet
ambush the federal agents during the incident. Now there was
a witness says the man was armed with a rifle
wearing tactical gear when he launched the attack. Border patrol
agents responded by neutralizing the threat. I love that language.
(18:21):
Here's how I would have written this story. According to
a witness, the man was armed with a rifle and
wearing tactical gear when he launched the attack. Border patrol
agents responded by inflicting a taxpayer relief shot or if
you want to conserve syllables. Border patrol agents responded by
(18:41):
killing him. They say it appears to be intentional Border
patrol agents purposely targeted. Indicates that a McAllen cop was
wounded during the exchange, but apparently he may be okay.
Now here's just for some perspective of the story. We
(19:02):
should not be surprised by this. This follows what weeks,
at least at least two weeks, if not longer, of
political agitation by Democrat lawmakers who some of who have
been directly I mean outright calling for action against US
immigrations and custom enforcement agents. And some Democrat officials have
(19:25):
actually been arrested for physically interfering with ICE, including remember
Congresswoman Lamonica MacIvor, the Democrat from New Jersey. She's been charged,
she's paid not guilty to assaulting in ICE in front
of a federal court back in June. Democrat Party vice
presidential nominee and president want to be governor Tim Wallas.
(19:46):
He has publicly likened ICE agents to the Gestapo, you
know from Hitler's Germany. Might just call him Hitler? Why not?
Right in June Cuddy, Hea California, the vice mayor, I
forget what her name was. She's the one that posted
the social media video and what she called upon Hispanic
(20:10):
gangs and the cartels to come defend illegal aliens from
ICE agents. If you don't think that there's a causal
link between the language and the actions of the I
forgot about Alligator Alligator Alcatraz. They all rush that facility
(20:31):
trying to get in there, and they were denied entry.
You know, if you're a member of Congress and you
know that, all you have to do is called the
Secretary of Homeland Securities Office or the White House. Either
one speak to either the chief of staff the deputy
chief of staff. Speak to the secretary or the deputy
(20:51):
or the undersecretary and say that you would like to
arrange a tour of any facility. They'll do that, but
they don't want that. They want because the cameras will follow,
the cameras and the microphones will show up, and they
(21:11):
want this violence. They want the encounters. The Democrats are despicable,
you know. I Trump said over the weekends, I think
in the speech that he gave in Ohio, something to
affect about how the Democrats hate Trump speaking in the
third term and in the third person, and he's third
(21:36):
term and speaking in the third person. But he went
on to say that he hates them too. I can say,
I really don't hate them in the meaning of hate.
In my brain, I despise them. I dislike them. I
think they're a bunch of goofballs. I think they're stupid.
I think they're idiots. I just have you know, in
(22:00):
many ways I feel sorry for them because they're so pathetic.
So this incident where they at the McCallen International Airport.
I may have flown into McCallen once or twice in
my life. Every single flight gets delayed while the authorities
tried to secure the area. That's the Democrats. So can
(22:26):
you imagine if we've got a plane out of Denver
International and yeah, it would probably be parked at the FBO,
it'd probably be parked over where FedEx and everybody else is.
But let's say it's over on the main runways, it's
parked over one of the concourses. Can you imagine them
(22:46):
delaying flights out of DEIA while the Denver Police Department
and the FBI, and well, I would say TSA, but
they're not much use while they try to secure the airport.
How pissed off would you be that your flight's delayed
because a bunch of Democrat elected officials who should know
(23:07):
better storm the airport. It's just it's totally absurd, and
they're doing it solely. This is all they got. All
they have is let's try to get the media to
let me rephrase that I was gonna say something really stupid.
I was gonna say, let's get let's let's try to
(23:29):
get the media to cover it. No, you don't have
to try it. All all you have to do is
tell the media that, hey, we're gonna show up at
this airport. We're gonna show up at McCallan because we
know they're getting ready to deport some illegal aliens and
we're gonna storm the place. Well you know that CNN
and MSNBC in the networks. Of course Fox will be
(23:49):
there too. They're all going to show up because they're
all looking for the fight and they and they know it.
This is when I think they ought to be charged.
I am not normally four. I mean, obviously, if you
commit a crime, you you know, you murder somebody and
you're a congressman, or you rape, or you molest a
(24:10):
kid or whatever, then yeah, I want you charged. But
if you show up at a facility that's a federal
facility and you, you know, just you show up and
you ask to be let in, I don't think I
don't even think that's trespassing. One, you're not inside the gate.
But when you start disrupting operations, now you you're involved
(24:34):
in disrupting the operations of federal authorities, and I think
you ought to be charged with it. Now, what's what's
the judge going to do? I have no idea. Unfortunately,
that's going to be the call of what kind of
judge do you get? Oh? It drives me crazy. Let's
(24:54):
go back to the nineteen nineties switch gears here. George
Soros Open Society Institute actually partnered with Radio Free Europe
and Radio Liberty, which at that time was a US
government funded independent public broadcaster, which is not really independent.
They partnered together to establish something called the Open Media
(25:18):
Research Institute omri OMRII. It was a joint venture headquartered
in the Czech capital of Prague. They took over the
analytical responsibilities of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberties dissolved
Research Institute and freely operated it from nineteen ninety four
(25:39):
to nineteen ninety seven. So Jenica pounds over on X
She goes by, if you don't follow this account, you
really need to follow this account. She's at Data Republican.
At Data Republican, if you follow her, tell her I
told you to follow her. She dug into the archive
material and it confirms that the OMRI work fed directly
(26:06):
into Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberties reporting. In other words,
their information services department ran all of the news. The
Open Society Foundation George Soros in partner with these Radio
Free Europe and Radio Liberty. They partnered up and they
(26:26):
wrote the news. They wrote the news for them. The documents,
according again to Data Republican, were later deposited with the
VERA and Donald Blincoln Open Society Archives, named after their father,
Anthony Blincoln, the Secretary of State under Joe Biden. Now
(26:48):
at the same time, Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty, classified
as a five one C three nonprofit operating under a
given taxpayer identification number, was and is still funded by
the US Agency for Global Media. In the last fiscal year,
they got more than one hundred and sixty seven million
(27:10):
dollars in federal funds, actually one sixty seven point seven
one sixty seven point five of which came from the
US Agency for Global Media. There were no sub recipients
listed for any of the monies. So the financial structure
of that arrangement does what That shows you that there
(27:31):
was a long running public private fusion partnership between our
federal government messaging efforts and Soros backed information infrastructure, all
operating under the guys are so called independent journalism. And
then the bleak in archives after they quit formally processed
(27:56):
revised the records back in two thousand and three. The
archival listing directly says that AMRI was the institutional successor
to the Radio Free Year from Radio Liberty's internal analysis unit,
but totally ignores that it was actually integrated with the
Soros back foundations due to the entirety operation. Kerry Lake
(28:22):
ran for governor and Senator in Arizona, who's running Radio
Free American now. For decades, American taxpayers have been forced
to bankroll an agency that's been riddled with dysfunction, bias,
and waste. And that ends now. I say, just get
rid of no I take that back. I don't want
(28:45):
to get rid of Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, I
don't want to get rid of any of them. I
think they serve a very good information source for people
who are hidden behind an iron curtain and can't get
the information that we can. But good grief, start stop
the partnering with Soros.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I love you, Michael, I do. I'm a I'm a
longtime avid listener. I'm in San Antonio, Texas. But this
is why they caught outrage radio this kind of news.
I mean, earlier we were rehashing the same old behavior
and a few little things changed.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
But this is the same we expected.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
Now that we're angry all the time and you guys
love it. It's gonna be a falling down, you remember, Michael.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
Michael, Michael. Thanks. I thought it was gonna say Douglas Michael.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
That was it started to sound like it was a
d so Michael, Douglas Michael. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
But what's gonna be the downfall?
Speaker 4 (29:48):
I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I mean, the cabal, Yeah, I think that will be
a downfall. You know, But but you raised the point
that I'm gonna let you derail the last segment of
the program. I have a really difficult time with show
prep because, for example, I spent a little over an
(30:13):
hour this morning about you say, you're down in San Antonio,
so you're already inundated with all the local news coverage
plus the national news coverage, so you can't escape it.
And now I'm very grateful that you're listening to me
in San Antonio. I appreciate that, but I can't let
(30:36):
what they're doing. I mean I can, because I make
a choice, and my choice is I have to point
out the falsehoods. And it's not always acts of co mission,
like claiming, oh, all these floods were caused by climate change.
That's an active co mission, that is actively telling you
(30:59):
that what occurs in Texas over the fourth of July
weekend was all because of climate change, and that's bull crap.
In fact, I've got some climate stuff I wanted to
get through today, but honestly, I was tired of talking
about Texas, so I saved it. I may do it
tomorrow about climate change, and I'm going to debunk that.
(31:19):
But it drives me personally crazy sometimes talking about these
things because I feel an obligation and then I choose
to come in here and debunk that stuff. Now, if
I'm angry, I'm not angry at any of you. I'm
angry at the dumbasses that are out there propagating all
(31:39):
the falsehoods about what's going on and the acts of
oh mission by not explaining why couldn't Fox News, For example,
I was furious at Fox News driving in Why couldn't
a Fox News said, Yes, this is a horrible tragedy,
And just to give you some perspective, similar tragedies have
happened in these exact same spots for the past hundred
(32:03):
years and more like way beyond before we even kept records.
Just to let people know that this is part of
living in a physical world where Mother Nature has the
last word.
