Speaker 1 (00:00):
But uh ba bapa, I'm loving it and they're loving me.
I'm honored to have been elected McDonald's Employee of the Year.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What a tremendous honor.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
And the fake news is saying the only reason I
won is because of Russia.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Russia, Russia.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What a bunch of horrible people, such a disgrace. On
day one at McDonald's, I fixed the ice cream machine.
Nobody ever thought that was possible, but I did it.
I fixed the ice cream machine. And on day one
as your president, I'm going to fix our great country.
We will have a great country once again. I just
found out that I'm being indicted again. They say I
(00:37):
put too much salt on the French fries, too much salt,
and they say that I had a fifteen minute lunch
break that took seventeen minutes. And that's because the fake
news wouldn't let me go. They wanted to know how
I was doing, and I was doing so well. Kamala
never worked in McDonald's and the reason we know that
is because they wouldn't let her do her job interview
(00:58):
with a teleproptor. She said, that's not going to work.
We need the telepropter and it didn't work out. I
did so well at McDonald's they named a new meal
after me. It's called the mcwin and it comes in small, medium,
and mag size, and we're going to have a MAGA
sized mcwin on November fifth. So get out and vote
(01:19):
and let's make America great again.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Believe me, the very talented Sean Farage, who, for my money,
does the best Donald Trump impersonation out there.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's just number one. It's top of the charts. You know.
I do mine, and it's fine.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
But with Sean, he has the mannerisms, the intonations, the tone.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The vocal quality. He's got it all down cold.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And the reason I can affirm that is the first
time I heard Sean was on with Buck Sexton on
The Clean Buck Show, and they were having their show
live from mar A Lago. This is like a year
or so ago, maybe a little bit more. And the
ostensibly it was just Buck, as I recall, introduced Sean
as President Trump, and I tell you, for a good
(02:06):
two to three minutes I thought it was actually President Trump,
and then he said something, oh wait a minute, even
by President Trump's standards, that's a little out there.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That's a little crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And then they gave the reveal at the end, I'm like,
my god, that guy is so good, Kelly. Do you
know of a better Trump impersonator than Sean?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Oh, definitely not. He has everything.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
He's got the pacing which Jesse and I were just
talking about. He's just completely on and it comes so
natural it.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Does, and he's one of the top follows on X
and I strongly encourage you to do just that and
a lot of laughs, good fun. We're going to have
a lot of fun today and hopefully a lot of
fun fourteen days from now. We are exactly two weeks out,
and you could smell the desperation from the Harris camp.
For some reason, they're trotting good old BO back out
(02:58):
in Madison, Wisconsin, and I think it smells about as
good as BO. Because Barack Obama he is so old news, right,
he's yesterday's news. Even beyond that, he's never had coattails.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He certainly does it. Now.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We've been told repeatedly by Kamala Harris and other of
her handlers, Joe Biden is not on the ballot, right,
Joe Biden's not on the ballot.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, what would you do differently for Joe by Joe
Biden's not on the ballot? Well, why did Joe Biden
said Joe Biden's not on the ball but Barack Obama
is on the ballot. What is his tired old ass
doing out there on the campaign trail?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Now?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
He hasn't been relevant since twenty twelve? And if he
had coat tails, why didn't Hillary Clinton win in twenty sixteen?
People were sick of Barack Obama by the end of
his eight years in office.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
They just were.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Nothing else really explains how did Donald Trump defeat Hillary
Clinton out? Granted, Hillary was an old time unlikable candidate,
but she certainly was more qualified and capable and intelligent
just on those measures across the board than the current
nominee of the Democratic Party, Kamala Harris. Even those of
you that are farly entrenched in the right would have
(04:08):
to acknowledge that Hillary, for all of her evils and
I can't stand her, and she's a terrible person, et cetera,
et cetera, cognitively intellectually, vastly superior to Kamala Harris and
apparently with far more endurance. Donald Trump made this point, like,
why is Kamala Harris not sprinting to the finish with
(04:31):
fourteen days to go in the campaign. Madison's about as
key of an area for the Democrats as any. It
is a Democrat kind of stronghold the way that Boulder
is here in Colorado as a college town University of
Wisconsin along with the city of Milwaukee. It's that one
two punch in Wisconsin that makes it even competitive because
(04:53):
elsewhere in the state, even Green Bay, Kelly's favorite, that's
a red city, and even Wakegan to the south, which
is about halfway between Milwaukee in Chicago, is red. So
if you take out Madison in Milwaukee, and granted there's
tremendous population centers in each of those, which is exactly why,
(05:15):
like I said, Wisconsin is not only competitive, it tends
to lean left. It's governor's Democratic senator is Democratic Tammy Baldwin.
She's in the fight of her life against Eric Hovedy,
who is the best mustache since the Civil War of
any senatorial candidate I've ever seen. Plus he's sharp and
I'll defer to Kelly on this, but I think he's
a rather good looking guy. Kind of looks like Tom
(05:36):
Selleck in my opinion, a younger one but he's done
very well in debates against Tammy Baldwin. That could very
well be a pickup for the Republicans in Wisconsin. Kelly,
your take on.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Eric Covdy He's okay, look he yeah, he's decent looking
eye a right, yeah, yeah, I think that matters something
that helps.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
But you've got Barack Obama in Madison right now? Why not, Harris?
Where is what could she be doing right now? That's
more important than campaigning in the so called blue Wall states.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
She had to sit down interviews today.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
That's fine. Those are taped. I'm sure they're not live. No,
so you get those out of the way.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
That's what she was doing today.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Does Barack Obama campaigning in Madison, Wisconsin help her at all?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Kelly Coucerra, You.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Know, I don't know if either Brock or Bill Clinton
at this point are offering anything to this campaign.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And it's kind of I.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Think her people around her are absolutely scared and quaking
in their boots because they don't want her to go
off there because of all of her.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Her misgiving.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
The bread Bahar interview that dist but the sixty minutes
interview in CBS.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
We know it's edited, edited, that.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So let me have a question for you. Who's vice
president was Kamala Harris? Okay, why then is Barack Obama
ancient history walking around out there on the campaign trail
and not Joe Biden.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
No, it's a really good question, I think phil the
same reason for not rolling Kamala out there is why
they don't want to roll Biden out there.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, well, you know the answer. It was kind of
a rhetorical question. He's senile, we know that.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Right, and they're afraid of what he's going to say.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But the last three and a half, three point seventy
five years now have been under Who's watch Joe Biden's. Yes,
Kamala Harris is part of the Joe Biden administration. You
can't revert back to the good old days of Barack
Obama and say that Harris has anything to do with him.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
She doesn't.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Well, that's another tactic I think they're using as they're
really trying to distance her from Biden, and it's not
working because you really can't. But that's one of the
reasons why Barack is in Madison today and why Clinton
for I mean talk about ancient Yeah, why Clinton is
doing some doing some events too so I mean, honestly,
(08:07):
I think it has everything to do with them trying
to separate Kamala from the Biden administration. So you know,
she can basically say, well, my administration is.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Going to be different. But I mean, honestly, how can
it be.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Is she going to be just more like Barack Obama?
Is he the wedge or the distraction, the shiny object.
She's not. She's way too far to the left. I mean,
she is a progressive socialist.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And not only that, I think Barack has lost his fastball.
He's not what he used to be. I mean, this
guy's in decline.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I'm just talking from an energy standpoint, his messaging, you know,
all he's doing, He's getting out there, and their total
play right now is just not Trump. I know Kamala stinks,
but not Trump.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
And you know when Barack Obama did that stand up
town hall with all of the younger black gentleman.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And he was like, you have to vote for I
wasn't even a town hall, Kelly. That was just a
be behind the.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Scenes gathering, Okay, whatever you want to call it, but
it was just very like and then I don't know
if you've seen all of this stuff, on Twitter and
TikTok and things like that. Yeah, of these men who
are basically bad mouthing Barack Obama and saying, you don't
tell me who to vote.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
For black men. Yeah, that's an important DISTINCSI.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Also another question, why is Barack Obama in Madison, Wisconsin
and not everybody's favorite vice presidential candidate, Tim Walls, the
governor of Minnesota, a neighboring state, an Upper Midwesterner just
like the Wisconsinights.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Why is Tim Walls not delivering this speech in Madison?
Where is Tim Walls?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
That's a really good question.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
He's on the ticket, he was Kamala's choice.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
But we got Barack Obama out here from the Greatest
Hits album of two thousand and eight.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Right, Come on.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
This is desperation. This is pure panic.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And I don't want to get over confident, but I
do want to give people who are on our side
of the aisle hope faith and believe that this election
is trending in the right direction. And here's Donald Trump
working his ass off today and every day on this
campaign trail. He's doing it again today with a rally
in Tempe, Arizona. He was with Hispanics in South Florida yesterday,
(10:16):
and here's what he had to say, as I saw.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
A poll that we're actually leading with Hispanics. Has never
happened before. I don't know, but I don't know, but
it's going to be close. I mean, she's sleeping right now.
She couldn't go on the trail. You know, you think
when you have fourteen days left, you wouldn't be sleeping.
She's not doing anything today. I should take one of that.
I've We've gone fifty two days in a row, and
(10:39):
I'm going fourteen more days, and we're going to have
a big victory party, hopefully, and we're going to turn
our country around. We're going to make it great again.
As I say, We're going to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You know that Here's campaign has tried to bake a
big deal about Trump's age, you know, ironically so since
their candidate was into his early eighties. And then he said, well,
there's nothing to see here, there's nothing wrong here. He's
perfectly fine. He's fit as a fiddle, he's the best
Biden that's ever been. But she's not that much younger
than Donald Trump. Donald Trump is seventy eight years old.
Kamala just turned sixty. She's sixty. She's still a boomer.
(11:11):
She's not even gen X. She's sixty years old, and
maybe the fatigue is catching up to her on the campaign.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's kind of sad to say.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
But with fourteen days left, she doesn't have enough in
the tank to sprint to the finish.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
We know dj T does because he's doing it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
This explains once again Obama in Madison, Wisconsin, five seven,
seven thirty nine. You can send your texts along, start them, Ryan,
Jimmy Sangenberger coming up bottom of the hour. He's going
to expand on his op ed that is entitled for
once a school tax that works well that I'm already
kind of reluctant and resistant to that title.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
And we'll see what he has to say about that.
Now the envelope, please.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I have just busted out my ballot because I realized
over on Kowa, both Ross Kominski and Mandy cottle my
esteem colleagues like a voter guide of sorts, and you
can access those online and get their take on the election.
That's all well and good, but Mandy and I agree
on a lot. I would say Ross and I agree
(12:12):
on probably more than fifty percent of issues. But I
don't know that in this market for radio that there's
an option for somebody that would truly consider themselves to
be a Republican. Ross is not a Republican. Mandy is
no longer a Republican, though she does plan to vote
for Trump. And I'm very curious to see what Ross
actually does.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I am a Republican and I want Republicans to win unabashedly.
The Democratic Party is the bane of our existence right now.
They are absolutely backward in so many ways on so
many policies. They overton window is shifted so far to
the left when it comes to the Democratic Party, writ
large that people like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan are
(12:55):
falling off the wagon and coming over to our side
of things. And it's not so much coming over to
our side, but to sanity. Tulsey Gabbard, Rfk Junior. These
are all former Democrats. So I just wanted to give
you a flavor of where I'm coming from. And we'll
split this up probably into two segments or so, and
I want to get Kelly's take as well on the
ballot measures. Now, the first part of your ballot. Are
(13:17):
you know all the local races and the presidential on
down to the US House. There's no Senate race this
time around to regent at University of Colorado, state senator,
state rep. District attorney for wherever you are most likely
regional Transportation District director.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That's a big one.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And some judges judicial retentions, Kelly, isn't your policy you
always vote know on the judges?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Is that what you've told me? I think, yeah, okay.
I did vote yes on a few two that Dan
kaplis directly endorsed for me, and he knows these judges
because he deals with them. And then I also voted
yes on two of the Supreme Court justices who've voted
in favor of Donald Trump and against the idiotic, communistic
fashion just lawsuit that came before them that was going
(14:03):
to take Donald Trump off the ballot. Brian Boltwright is
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Chief Justice, and I believe he was appointed by John
Hickenlooper and he was really leading the effort to stall
that effort. It was a four to three decision, and
both Boltwright and Maria Burkincotter were on the right side
of that decision. So judges rarely get voted off, so
voting no, even if you do so like Kelly does,
rarely has any lasting consequence. But I think, just as
(14:30):
a statement for me, that's where I stand on the
judicial nominees. I also voted to retain based on Dan
Kaplis's advice, Don Jesse Toussaint, the judge the Honorable and
also Judge sh K. Whittaker the other ones. I voted no,
and then we get to the ballot measures. So we
don't have a lot of time left in this segment,
but we'll start here.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Amendment G.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado Constitution concerning
the expansion of eligibility for the property tax exemption for
veterans with the disability to include a veteran who does
not have a service connected disability rated as a one
hundred percent permanent disability, but does have individual unemployability status.
This seems like a language issue, Kelly, that they're cleaning
(15:14):
up and you and I are both firm supporters of
tunnel to towers, I believe, and I have so much
reverence and respect for those that have served our country
at home and abroad.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I voted yes on this one. What say you?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I did as well, Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
And I think that's a slam dunk. That's Amendment G eight.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Shall there be an Amendment to the Colorado Constitution concerning
judicial discipline and, in connection therewith great word establishing an
independent judicial discipline adjudicative board, another fifty cent word setting
standards for judicial review of a discipline case and clarifying
when discipline proceedings become public.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I voted yes on this.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I think it expands such a review board to include
both lawyers and individual dual citizens rather than just judges themselves.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Is that how you understand it, Kelly? And how did
you vote on that?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yes? And I voted yes as well.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Okay, So we are so far simpatico. Yes, all right.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Amendment I, Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado
Constitution concerning creating an exemption to the right to bail
for cases of murder in the first degree when proof
is evident or presumption is great. I think that's an
automatic yes. And I believe I got that input from
George Brockler as well.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Kelly.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Yes, I also voted yes, and we did talk to
George about that and he was very much a proponent
of this whole thing, and I think he was actually
one of the not a co sponsor, but I think
he did some work behind the scenes. I try to
get this so that's definite yes for me.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
A murder in the first degree, when proof is evident
or presumption is great, well I should to receive bail.
I mean that is obviously either a flight risk or
a risk to society at large potentially, and no such
person should receive bail. I'm completely fine with that. Amendment
j to the state Constitution. Shall there be an amendment
to the Colorado Constitution removing the ban on same sex marriage? Now,
(17:09):
this might divide our audience a little bit, Kelly, I'm
going to go to you first on this one.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Read me the language again. I kind of remember what
I voted on.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Let me read it very directly.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado Constitution removing
the ban on same sex marriage? No, you voted no
on that. I did, so there should still be a
ban in place.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
No, absolutely, I think I voted yes.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Well, then you've got to make up your mind. Here.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
My ballot's already been turned in.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Turn it in.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah, and there are people who would vote no on
a principle.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
No, I didn't vote no on this one, but I
was a little bit. I had to go back and
read it a few times because it's poorly worded.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
But I do think it's confusion. I agree with you
on that.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I vote yes.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Shall there be an amendment moving the band? So it's
kind of a double negative. I get what you're saying
this on same sex marriage. What this does is it
reinforces a Bergefell which was penned by Justice Neil Gorsich,
in which it includes the right to marriage for LGBT.
And you know, on just a comical level, I'm like,
(18:21):
you know, shouldn't gay people have just as much right
to suffer as the rest of us as straight people
get married and are miserable. But you know, in the
greatest context of marriage being a great thing and you
celebrate and it's a positive. I think the true conservative
position here that values exclusive unions between two people is
in favor of gay marriage. And I've always been I'm
(18:41):
notoriously I consider myself one of the most pro gay
Republicans out there, and going as far back as thirty
years on this issue, and I'm unwavering in this personally.
I know this deviates maybe from the norm and certainly
from the Dave Williams wing of the party, but I
do believe enshrining that in the Constitution an amendment to
(19:02):
remove the ban on same sex marriage is the right
move and it creates a bigger tent. It brings more
people in. There are a lot of gay conservatives out there,
and if they want to get married, I will celebrate that.
Jimmy Segenberger next on Ryan Schuling Live, sha.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Business going on here.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We'll see it shaddles everywhere.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
Business going on here? See it shaddles everywhere? To me,
what are you supposed to do when you feel about
a safe Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You hear a taste a flavor the Mouthpark harmonica from
our next guest, This is the Jimmy Junior Blues Band
finally assembled.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
At least that's the breaking news I've been given. You
heard it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Shady business going on the one, four or five classic
blues progression. I know what monicam about the musical scene
when it comes to that sort of thing, But Jimmy's
the real expert in Jimmy Sangenberger joins us now Jimmy,
welcome to it.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
What's going on, my friend? I feel like there's some
shady business in the it's a.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Good theme and we'll get to your op ed in
just a moment. But I want you to tell the people, Jimmy,
about your band where it stands now, whither and when
you'll be ready to perform live and if I can
be there.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Well, we are just getting out there pitching to get
some gigs going, so as soon as we've got news,
we'll make sure that it is heard right here on
Ryan Schuling Live when and where we will be playing.
But we have a great guitarist. His name is Eric Batucci.
We've got Ken Cornell on the bass, Mike Rossi on
the drums, and yours truly known as Jimmy Junior on
(21:26):
harmonica and doing vocals along with Ken and Eric. You
vocals too. So for some reason the drummer doesn't sing
or do anything like that. I don't know what's to
deal with our drummer, but he's great, he's one of
the best.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
He's just not Don Henley or Phil Collins, those types
of drummers that sing.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
And you know what, that's okay with me as long
as he's a badass on the drums. That's all that
I care.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
About, right.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
It's the Jimmy Junior Blues Band, And if you want
to hear the entire song, I was just sent that
file by Jimmy himself. You can text me at five
seven seven three nine with your email address and I'll
send it out to you. You can check it out.
Always good to look into local music and Jimmy doing
his level best to put this band together and entertain
the people, which I know you were invited Jimmy to
(22:09):
go down to the event coming up a week from Saturday.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
Yeah, who knows what what I'll do exactly, but I
have my briefcase full of blues ready to play some
harmonica at the Never Surrender.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Rally and we'll look forward to that and Jimmy Sangenberger
our guests. He's also, of course multi talented. He filled
in for Dan Kaplis yesterday fresh off of vacation to
San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
He survived without a poop map somehow.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
And came back to write this op ed for the
Denver Gazette as he has wont to do and the
title is a little scary, I gotta admit, it made
me skittish. Jimmy, I immediately recoil at the sound of
a tax that works. But that's the title of this
for once a school tax that works. Now you're going
to have to really do some heavy lifting here and
explaining this one go ahead.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Would you believe it if I said that the writer
of the column doesn't necessarily select the headline.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I think the headline does fit okay, fair enough, and
I know that you're not the headline right, that's correct.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
But it would fit in this respect in Woodland Park,
where there is some shady business going on in Woodland Park,
you know, the small city nestled on Pike's Peaks north slope.
There is a sales tax that voters put in place
in the municipality back in twenty sixteen one point nine
(23:33):
percent that is collected by the city and then transferred
to the school district. And now it makes up about
eleven percent of the school district's budget, bringing in roughly
three point two million dollars annually. And guess what, Usually
when you have a tax going place, it's just there
(23:53):
and you don't Yeah, a lot of times people don't
consider whether they're getting a real return on that money,
whether there's a good quality education for it. All too
often in this state. Ran you can look at Denver,
you can look at jeffco. You can look at Cherry
Creek schools. You have all this money that the voters
are willing to give them in bonds and mill Levey overrides,
(24:15):
and they misuse it and they failed time and time
again to provide a quality education, safety for their students,
you name it. But in Woodland Park we have actually
seen since the conservative reform minded school board majority took
over the school board in twenty twenty one, we have
actually seen noticeable improvements and the data shows this in
(24:39):
the quality of education there in addition to school choice
with the introduction of the Merit Academy charter school. So
you're actually getting a return on investments, so to speak,
from this sales tax and the support that has enabled
them to give a raise of sixteen percent raise to
the teachers there by the school board and actually have
(25:01):
some achievement. And yet the left of all things right,
the left that claims to be all behind you know,
wanting to fund schools, wants to repeal that tax.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It is counterintuitive, I mean, it's backwards Jimmy in so
many ways when you think about this along traditional line,
So what do you think I'm going to have you
kind of get behind the eight ball here of viewing
things from that opposing view. What is the motive from
the left here in repealing this particular tax that they
just want to fund things their way?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Is there what they feel to be a better way?
What's at play here?
Speaker 7 (25:38):
Yeah, that's the big three point two million dollar question, right,
And I really do think there is shady business going
on here. The only reason that I could think of
doing something like this is if you're seeing progress and
you want to stop that progress, Because then what happens
you have a reform majority on the board that's able
(26:01):
to tout achievement, improvements, being able to tout that, yes,
you can have success in the school district when you
introduce a charter school and give more choice and opportunity.
When you have achievement, you have opportunity that is broadened
out there, and it's attributable to the actions of the
(26:21):
people they despise, and by golly, you gotta undercut them,
don't you.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, just seems like you can't even get along.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Look when it looks like This is absolutely something everybody
should be able to agree on.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Jimmy, we just can't do it.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And this article I think is well timed, just with
everything that's going on kind of in a hornet's nests
around us. What do you think the final outcome of
this is going to be and where does it go
from here?
Speaker 7 (26:47):
You know, that is a question I'm not sure about.
The reed is a little difficult in part because one
of the interesting things is the Woodland Park School District
is within obviously this city of Woodland Party, but it
has a lot of families that go to these schools
that are in surrounding areas within Keller County, and they
(27:10):
don't have a vote on this, and surely there are
a lot of those parents who would say we should
keep the sales tax, but they can't vote. So it
really just comes down to what is going to happen
among the turnout with Woodland Park voters and how they're
going to come down on this. I think if you
(27:31):
see the tax stay in place, which is by the way,
this is really strange for a conservative like me to
say this, but if you see this sales tax in place,
you will continue to see improvements in Woodland Park Schools,
which is now, by the way, ranked number eighteen out
of some one hundred and seventy six I think school
(27:53):
districts in the state, just according to the most recent
data that's out there from the Department of Education. If
this tax goes away, then you will likely see cuts
to teacher pay and other cuts in the district because
they won't be able to afford nearly as much as
they have been in the things that are making this
(28:14):
district stronger and stronger every day.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Find it in the Denver Gazette or online at Denver
Gazette dot com. It's entitled for Once, a School Tax
that Works by Jimmy Segenberger, who you just heard from there. He,
of course is an investigative reporter and op ed writer
for the Denver Gazette and occasional fill in host on
this program and the Dan Kapli Show. Jemmy always thanks
you for your time, keep me posted on the band.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Okay, hey, Ryan, thank you. And I'll just say for
anybody in the state that has a bond or MLO
mill levy override tax increase for their school districts, make
sure that if you were voting yes, you're doing so
because they've shown a demonstrable return on investment, not a
reason for you to say, you know what, actually you're
(29:01):
not doing the job right, in which case you should.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Vote now foreshadowing for me, because Jimmy, you nailed it.
This is why I voted no on the Cherry Creek
tax mill levies because yeah, exactly that school district, as
Kelly will attest, is far and almost irretrievably left at
this point, I'm not going to vote to pay more
for it.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Jimmy Stangenberger, you're the best, you bet. I got you
a timeout.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
We're back with the scariest thing you will hear today.
We are two weeks out from election day, but we
are nine days ahead of Halloween, and I have a
Halloween theme fright night for you coming up when we
return on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Second.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Tired of the legative dinner mind up, buy you Dan
Joousion and begin.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
For us just saying no, we are not going backwards, are.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Going I'm terrified right now.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, it wasn't good.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
My goodness. Do you remember that theme that you just
heard there? Calloween? Halloween?
Speaker 4 (30:21):
The original Myers?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
What's scarier Michael Myers or the cacophony of the combination
of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris that you just heard.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Well, I think we both know the answer to that.
It would be the latter, not the former.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Yeah no, that was a very good pull there by you.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Well.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Dan originally sent me this audio that he wanted and
it was this kind of give and take between Hillary
yelling and a crowd about Donald Trump, and then Kamala
Harris has started yelling at crowds about Donald Trump and
how bad he is, and I'm like, this is kind
of freaky, and wait a minute, it's Halloween and hold on,
I've got the theme. So I mixed it together and
(31:02):
came up with the scariest thing that you'll hear today.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Are you friend? Are you terrified?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Yes? Okay, yeah, that was kind of terrifying.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Favorite installment of the Halloween film franchise go the first one,
the og, the original Yep, Donald Pleasance Yep. I think
he's a tremendous presence pleasance in that movie all the
way back.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Jesse Thomas, what say you Halloween? Favorite installment in that
film franchise series? Okay, number one, but the newest one
is also pretty awesome. I do like the newest one
super fun. It is fun and.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
It kind of tongue in cheek, makes fun of itself
and has some level of self awareness in it.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I do enjoy that, and it's one of those.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
It kind of launched the whole horror genre in the
sense that there would be installments, there would be sequels,
there would be too many sequels, Kelly. Another question to
put you on the spot, which horror movie franchise had
too many sequels?
Speaker 6 (32:02):
There?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
It was?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I was going to ask you either Halloween Friday, the
thirteenth Nightmare on ELM Street.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I think those are the three big ones, right. I
always Wouldgreen Screams had way too many. That would be
a more modern one. But yes, because you can only
play it out so far. Right, then you've got a
retcon because you've devoured this character, whether it's Michael Mauer
Meyers or Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger. They've been burned,
(32:28):
they've been maimed, they've.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Been disintegrated, they've been turned to ashes, and somehow you
got to reprise the character.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
So you just have to erase it.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
What's that one movie? Uh, what's it.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
It's not hostile, but what's it's like a It's like
a newer kind of thing. But it has a bunch
of sequels. Saw Saw What?
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Now?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Do you remember who was in the original Saw? That
was also in the Prince's Bride carry El's He's in
that And I did like the original Saw, But like
you said, you get in these kind of sequels and
there's too many of them. Hell Raiser was another really
good one, a little under the radar with a pinhead
(33:11):
as he was kind of affectionately known. So as we
are embarking upon this Halloween season, and you better bet
your bottom dollar Christian total is gonna be coming on
and giving us a full Halloween Fright Night preview of
his all time favorite classics in the horror genre. And
he's also an expert in that genre. What is your
favorite all time horror movie? Kelly go culture nice? Heo yes,
(33:35):
and Jesse go all the time favorite. It's a brand
new one and it's called in a Violent Nature. Okay,
I'm gonna have to ask Christian about that. A and
B if you could send me a link to that
Jesse via text, because I haven't seen it and I
do appreciate the genre. And Bruce Campbell remember him Detroit,
(33:55):
Michigan's own Evil Dead The Evil Dead that is one
and the reason I bring it up, thank you, Jesse,
is the sequel to Evil Dead two probably better than
the original, and very few of those types of movies.
Can you say that about Evil Dead two is top notch?
Evil Dead?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Cult classic? Yes, the original Evil Dead. They talk about this,
Kelly in one of our favorite movies. I think you
don't like it, High Fidelity.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Jack Black talks to John Cusack about It's like, tell
them you haven't seen Evil Dead two yet.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I haven't seen either one of the Evil deads, but.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
You've seen High Fidelity I have. Okay, you need to
see Evil.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Dead, one of my all time favorite. John cusad I
know movies.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Now, you could see Evil Dead two.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
This is rare in the canon of a film's catalog
without having seen the original, and I think still enjoy
and appreciate Evil Dead two even though you don't know
the origin story.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Of Bruce Campbell there. But yeah, like Jesse said, cult classics,
so we'll be taking those from you as well, your
all time favorite horror movies. I got to make sure
to enunciate that particular word on the radio.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Let's see here, and I appreciate this viewpoint. I want
to clarify this real quickly. Ryan on prop J, please
look at the wording they are trying to delete with
a yes, marriage is between a man and a woman.
Perhaps instead of deleting this definition, they should add wording
such as or to individuals of the same sex. I
voted no. I can respect that. I want to clarify
(35:27):
my position. Like the Jack Phillips case with the cakes,
I don't think any church should be forced to perform
a wedding for a gay couple, or a trans couple,
or anything else if it's against their fundamental beliefs. I
am very much a freedom of religion guy. You can
find a justice of the peace, you can find a
more liberal pastor to conduct a ceremony, But I don't
(35:48):
think you should force upon your beliefs, which may be
different from those of a real fundamentalist's establishment evangelical church.
But they should have to perform that only because there
are are alternatives, just like there are alternatives to Masterpiece
cake shop. If you don't like Jack Phillips or his beliefs,
then you go to another one, and then the problem
(36:09):
is solved.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
That's it. But if a Gate couple wants.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
To get married and celebrate a monogamous union, I support
and promote that. We'll have more on these propositions when
we come back
But uh ba bapa, I'm loving it and they're loving me.
I'm honored to have been elected McDonald's Employee of the Year.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What a tremendous honor.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
And the fake news is saying the only reason I
won is because of Russia.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Russia, Russia.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
What a bunch of horrible people, such a disgrace. On
day one at McDonald's, I fixed the ice cream machine.
Nobody ever thought that was possible, but I did it.
I fixed the ice cream machine. And on day one
as your president, I'm going to fix our great country.
We will have a great country once again. I just
found out that I'm being indicted again. They say I
(00:37):
put too much salt on the French fries, too much salt,
and they say that I had a fifteen minute lunch
break that took seventeen minutes. And that's because the fake
news wouldn't let me go. They wanted to know how
I was doing, and I was doing so well. Kamala
never worked in McDonald's and the reason we know that
is because they wouldn't let her do her job interview
(00:58):
with a teleproptor. She said, that's not going to work.
We need the telepropter and it didn't work out. I
did so well at McDonald's they named a new meal
after me. It's called the mcwin and it comes in small, medium,
and mag size, and we're going to have a MAGA
sized mcwin on November fifth. So get out and vote
(01:19):
and let's make America great again.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Believe me, the very talented Sean Farage, who, for my money,
does the best Donald Trump impersonation out there.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's just number one. It's top of the charts. You know.
I do mine, and it's fine.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
But with Sean, he has the mannerisms, the intonations, the tone.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The vocal quality. He's got it all down cold.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
And the reason I can affirm that is the first
time I heard Sean was on with Buck Sexton on
The Clean Buck Show, and they were having their show
live from mar A Lago. This is like a year
or so ago, maybe a little bit more. And the
ostensibly it was just Buck, as I recall, introduced Sean
as President Trump, and I tell you, for a good
(02:06):
two to three minutes I thought it was actually President Trump,
and then he said something, oh wait a minute, even
by President Trump's standards, that's a little out there.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That's a little crazy.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And then they gave the reveal at the end, I'm like,
my god, that guy is so good, Kelly. Do you
know of a better Trump impersonator than Sean?
Speaker 4 (02:24):
Oh, definitely not. He has everything.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
He's got the pacing which Jesse and I were just
talking about. He's just completely on and it comes so
natural it.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Does, and he's one of the top follows on X
and I strongly encourage you to do just that and
a lot of laughs, good fun. We're going to have
a lot of fun today and hopefully a lot of
fun fourteen days from now. We are exactly two weeks out,
and you could smell the desperation from the Harris camp.
For some reason, they're trotting good old BO back out
(02:58):
in Madison, Wisconsin, and I think it smells about as
good as BO. Because Barack Obama he is so old news, right,
he's yesterday's news. Even beyond that, he's never had coattails.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
He certainly does it. Now.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
We've been told repeatedly by Kamala Harris and other of
her handlers, Joe Biden is not on the ballot, right,
Joe Biden's not on the ballot.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Well, what would you do differently for Joe by Joe
Biden's not on the ballot? Well, why did Joe Biden
said Joe Biden's not on the ball but Barack Obama
is on the ballot. What is his tired old ass
doing out there on the campaign trail?
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Now?
Speaker 3 (03:34):
He hasn't been relevant since twenty twelve? And if he
had coat tails, why didn't Hillary Clinton win in twenty sixteen?
People were sick of Barack Obama by the end of
his eight years in office.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
They just were.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Nothing else really explains how did Donald Trump defeat Hillary
Clinton out? Granted, Hillary was an old time unlikable candidate,
but she certainly was more qualified and capable and intelligent
just on those measures across the board than the current
nominee of the Democratic Party, Kamala Harris. Even those of
you that are farly entrenched in the right would have
(04:08):
to acknowledge that Hillary, for all of her evils and
I can't stand her, and she's a terrible person, et cetera,
et cetera, cognitively intellectually, vastly superior to Kamala Harris and
apparently with far more endurance. Donald Trump made this point, like,
why is Kamala Harris not sprinting to the finish with
(04:31):
fourteen days to go in the campaign. Madison's about as
key of an area for the Democrats as any. It
is a Democrat kind of stronghold the way that Boulder
is here in Colorado as a college town University of
Wisconsin along with the city of Milwaukee. It's that one
two punch in Wisconsin that makes it even competitive because
(04:53):
elsewhere in the state, even Green Bay, Kelly's favorite, that's
a red city, and even Wakegan to the south, which
is about halfway between Milwaukee in Chicago, is red. So
if you take out Madison in Milwaukee, and granted there's
tremendous population centers in each of those, which is exactly why,
(05:15):
like I said, Wisconsin is not only competitive, it tends
to lean left. It's governor's Democratic senator is Democratic Tammy Baldwin.
She's in the fight of her life against Eric Hovedy,
who is the best mustache since the Civil War of
any senatorial candidate I've ever seen. Plus he's sharp and
I'll defer to Kelly on this, but I think he's
a rather good looking guy. Kind of looks like Tom
(05:36):
Selleck in my opinion, a younger one but he's done
very well in debates against Tammy Baldwin. That could very
well be a pickup for the Republicans in Wisconsin. Kelly,
your take on.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Eric Covdy He's okay, look he yeah, he's decent looking
eye a right, yeah, yeah, I think that matters something
that helps.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
But you've got Barack Obama in Madison right now? Why not, Harris?
Where is what could she be doing right now? That's
more important than campaigning in the so called blue Wall states.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
She had to sit down interviews today.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
That's fine. Those are taped. I'm sure they're not live. No,
so you get those out of the way.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
That's what she was doing today.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Does Barack Obama campaigning in Madison, Wisconsin help her at all?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Kelly Coucerra, You.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Know, I don't know if either Brock or Bill Clinton
at this point are offering anything to this campaign.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
And it's kind of I.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Think her people around her are absolutely scared and quaking
in their boots because they don't want her to go
off there because of all of her.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Her misgiving.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
The bread Bahar interview that dist but the sixty minutes
interview in CBS.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
We know it's edited, edited, that.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
So let me have a question for you. Who's vice
president was Kamala Harris? Okay, why then is Barack Obama
ancient history walking around out there on the campaign trail
and not Joe Biden.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
No, it's a really good question, I think phil the
same reason for not rolling Kamala out there is why
they don't want to roll Biden out there.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Well, well, you know the answer. It was kind of
a rhetorical question. He's senile, we know that.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
Right, and they're afraid of what he's going to say.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But the last three and a half, three point seventy
five years now have been under Who's watch Joe Biden's. Yes,
Kamala Harris is part of the Joe Biden administration. You
can't revert back to the good old days of Barack
Obama and say that Harris has anything to do with him.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
She doesn't.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Well, that's another tactic I think they're using as they're
really trying to distance her from Biden, and it's not
working because you really can't. But that's one of the
reasons why Barack is in Madison today and why Clinton
for I mean talk about ancient Yeah, why Clinton is
doing some doing some events too so I mean, honestly,
(08:07):
I think it has everything to do with them trying
to separate Kamala from the Biden administration. So you know,
she can basically say, well, my administration is.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Going to be different. But I mean, honestly, how can
it be.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Is she going to be just more like Barack Obama?
Is he the wedge or the distraction, the shiny object.
She's not. She's way too far to the left. I mean,
she is a progressive socialist.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And not only that, I think Barack has lost his fastball.
He's not what he used to be. I mean, this
guy's in decline.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I'm just talking from an energy standpoint, his messaging, you know,
all he's doing, He's getting out there, and their total
play right now is just not Trump. I know Kamala stinks,
but not Trump.
Speaker 5 (08:48):
And you know when Barack Obama did that stand up
town hall with all of the younger black gentleman.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And he was like, you have to vote for I
wasn't even a town hall, Kelly. That was just a
be behind the.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
Scenes gathering, Okay, whatever you want to call it, but
it was just very like and then I don't know
if you've seen all of this stuff, on Twitter and
TikTok and things like that. Yeah, of these men who
are basically bad mouthing Barack Obama and saying, you don't
tell me who to vote.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
For black men. Yeah, that's an important DISTINCSI.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
Also another question, why is Barack Obama in Madison, Wisconsin
and not everybody's favorite vice presidential candidate, Tim Walls, the
governor of Minnesota, a neighboring state, an Upper Midwesterner just
like the Wisconsinights.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Why is Tim Walls not delivering this speech in Madison?
Where is Tim Walls?
Speaker 7 (09:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:39):
That's a really good question.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
He's on the ticket, he was Kamala's choice.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
But we got Barack Obama out here from the Greatest
Hits album of two thousand and eight.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Right, Come on.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
This is desperation. This is pure panic.
Speaker 3 (09:53):
And I don't want to get over confident, but I
do want to give people who are on our side
of the aisle hope faith and believe that this election
is trending in the right direction. And here's Donald Trump
working his ass off today and every day on this
campaign trail. He's doing it again today with a rally
in Tempe, Arizona. He was with Hispanics in South Florida yesterday,
(10:16):
and here's what he had to say, as I saw.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
A poll that we're actually leading with Hispanics. Has never
happened before. I don't know, but I don't know, but
it's going to be close. I mean, she's sleeping right now.
She couldn't go on the trail. You know, you think
when you have fourteen days left, you wouldn't be sleeping.
She's not doing anything today. I should take one of that.
I've We've gone fifty two days in a row, and
(10:39):
I'm going fourteen more days, and we're going to have
a big victory party, hopefully, and we're going to turn
our country around. We're going to make it great again.
As I say, We're going to make America great again.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
You know that Here's campaign has tried to bake a
big deal about Trump's age, you know, ironically so since
their candidate was into his early eighties. And then he said, well,
there's nothing to see here, there's nothing wrong here. He's
perfectly fine. He's fit as a fiddle, he's the best
Biden that's ever been. But she's not that much younger
than Donald Trump. Donald Trump is seventy eight years old.
Kamala just turned sixty. She's sixty. She's still a boomer.
(11:11):
She's not even gen X. She's sixty years old, and
maybe the fatigue is catching up to her on the campaign.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's kind of sad to say.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
But with fourteen days left, she doesn't have enough in
the tank to sprint to the finish.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
We know dj T does because he's doing it.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
This explains once again Obama in Madison, Wisconsin, five seven,
seven thirty nine. You can send your texts along, start them, Ryan,
Jimmy Sangenberger coming up bottom of the hour. He's going
to expand on his op ed that is entitled for
once a school tax that works well that I'm already
kind of reluctant and resistant to that title.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
And we'll see what he has to say about that.
Now the envelope, please.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I have just busted out my ballot because I realized
over on Kowa, both Ross Kominski and Mandy cottle my
esteem colleagues like a voter guide of sorts, and you
can access those online and get their take on the election.
That's all well and good, but Mandy and I agree
on a lot. I would say Ross and I agree
(12:12):
on probably more than fifty percent of issues. But I
don't know that in this market for radio that there's
an option for somebody that would truly consider themselves to
be a Republican. Ross is not a Republican. Mandy is
no longer a Republican, though she does plan to vote
for Trump. And I'm very curious to see what Ross
actually does.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
But I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
I am a Republican and I want Republicans to win unabashedly.
The Democratic Party is the bane of our existence right now.
They are absolutely backward in so many ways on so
many policies. They overton window is shifted so far to
the left when it comes to the Democratic Party, writ
large that people like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan are
(12:55):
falling off the wagon and coming over to our side
of things. And it's not so much coming over to
our side, but to sanity. Tulsey Gabbard, Rfk Junior. These
are all former Democrats. So I just wanted to give
you a flavor of where I'm coming from. And we'll
split this up probably into two segments or so, and
I want to get Kelly's take as well on the
ballot measures. Now, the first part of your ballot. Are
(13:17):
you know all the local races and the presidential on
down to the US House. There's no Senate race this
time around to regent at University of Colorado, state senator,
state rep. District attorney for wherever you are most likely
regional Transportation District director.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
That's a big one.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And some judges judicial retentions, Kelly, isn't your policy you
always vote know on the judges?
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Is that what you've told me? I think, yeah, okay.
I did vote yes on a few two that Dan
kaplis directly endorsed for me, and he knows these judges
because he deals with them. And then I also voted
yes on two of the Supreme Court justices who've voted
in favor of Donald Trump and against the idiotic, communistic
fashion just lawsuit that came before them that was going
(14:03):
to take Donald Trump off the ballot. Brian Boltwright is
the Supreme Court.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Chief Justice, and I believe he was appointed by John
Hickenlooper and he was really leading the effort to stall
that effort. It was a four to three decision, and
both Boltwright and Maria Burkincotter were on the right side
of that decision. So judges rarely get voted off, so
voting no, even if you do so like Kelly does,
rarely has any lasting consequence. But I think, just as
(14:30):
a statement for me, that's where I stand on the
judicial nominees. I also voted to retain based on Dan
Kaplis's advice, Don Jesse Toussaint, the judge the Honorable and
also Judge sh K. Whittaker the other ones. I voted no,
and then we get to the ballot measures. So we
don't have a lot of time left in this segment,
but we'll start here.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Amendment G.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado Constitution concerning
the expansion of eligibility for the property tax exemption for
veterans with the disability to include a veteran who does
not have a service connected disability rated as a one
hundred percent permanent disability, but does have individual unemployability status.
This seems like a language issue, Kelly, that they're cleaning
(15:14):
up and you and I are both firm supporters of
tunnel to towers, I believe, and I have so much
reverence and respect for those that have served our country
at home and abroad.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I voted yes on this one. What say you?
Speaker 4 (15:27):
I did as well, Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
And I think that's a slam dunk. That's Amendment G eight.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Shall there be an Amendment to the Colorado Constitution concerning
judicial discipline and, in connection therewith great word establishing an
independent judicial discipline adjudicative board, another fifty cent word setting
standards for judicial review of a discipline case and clarifying
when discipline proceedings become public.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
I voted yes on this.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I think it expands such a review board to include
both lawyers and individual dual citizens rather than just judges themselves.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Is that how you understand it, Kelly? And how did
you vote on that?
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yes? And I voted yes as well.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Okay, So we are so far simpatico. Yes, all right.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Amendment I, Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado
Constitution concerning creating an exemption to the right to bail
for cases of murder in the first degree when proof
is evident or presumption is great. I think that's an
automatic yes. And I believe I got that input from
George Brockler as well.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Kelly.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Yes, I also voted yes, and we did talk to
George about that and he was very much a proponent
of this whole thing, and I think he was actually
one of the not a co sponsor, but I think
he did some work behind the scenes. I try to
get this so that's definite yes for me.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
A murder in the first degree, when proof is evident
or presumption is great, well I should to receive bail.
I mean that is obviously either a flight risk or
a risk to society at large potentially, and no such
person should receive bail. I'm completely fine with that. Amendment
j to the state Constitution. Shall there be an amendment
to the Colorado Constitution removing the ban on same sex marriage? Now,
(17:09):
this might divide our audience a little bit, Kelly, I'm
going to go to you first on this one.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Read me the language again. I kind of remember what
I voted on.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Let me read it very directly.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Shall there be an amendment to the Colorado Constitution removing
the ban on same sex marriage? No, you voted no
on that. I did, so there should still be a
ban in place.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
No, absolutely, I think I voted yes.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Well, then you've got to make up your mind. Here.
Speaker 4 (17:38):
My ballot's already been turned in.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Turn it in.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah, and there are people who would vote no on
a principle.
Speaker 5 (17:44):
No, I didn't vote no on this one, but I
was a little bit. I had to go back and
read it a few times because it's poorly worded.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
But I do think it's confusion. I agree with you
on that.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yeah, I'm pretty sure.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I vote yes.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Shall there be an amendment moving the band? So it's
kind of a double negative. I get what you're saying
this on same sex marriage. What this does is it
reinforces a Bergefell which was penned by Justice Neil Gorsich,
in which it includes the right to marriage for LGBT.
And you know, on just a comical level, I'm like,
(18:21):
you know, shouldn't gay people have just as much right
to suffer as the rest of us as straight people
get married and are miserable. But you know, in the
greatest context of marriage being a great thing and you
celebrate and it's a positive. I think the true conservative
position here that values exclusive unions between two people is
in favor of gay marriage. And I've always been I'm
(18:41):
notoriously I consider myself one of the most pro gay
Republicans out there, and going as far back as thirty
years on this issue, and I'm unwavering in this personally.
I know this deviates maybe from the norm and certainly
from the Dave Williams wing of the party, but I
do believe enshrining that in the Constitution an amendment to
(19:02):
remove the ban on same sex marriage is the right
move and it creates a bigger tent. It brings more
people in. There are a lot of gay conservatives out there,
and if they want to get married, I will celebrate that.
Jimmy Segenberger next on Ryan Schuling Live, sha.
Speaker 8 (19:35):
Business going on here.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
We'll see it shaddles everywhere.
Speaker 8 (19:45):
Business going on here? See it shaddles everywhere? To me,
what are you supposed to do when you feel about
a safe Oh?
Speaker 3 (20:13):
You hear a taste a flavor the Mouthpark harmonica from
our next guest, This is the Jimmy Junior Blues Band
finally assembled.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
At least that's the breaking news I've been given. You
heard it.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Shady business going on the one, four or five classic
blues progression. I know what monicam about the musical scene
when it comes to that sort of thing, But Jimmy's
the real expert in Jimmy Sangenberger joins us now Jimmy,
welcome to it.
Speaker 7 (20:43):
What's going on, my friend? I feel like there's some
shady business in the it's a.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Good theme and we'll get to your op ed in
just a moment. But I want you to tell the people, Jimmy,
about your band where it stands now, whither and when
you'll be ready to perform live and if I can
be there.
Speaker 7 (21:02):
Well, we are just getting out there pitching to get
some gigs going, so as soon as we've got news,
we'll make sure that it is heard right here on
Ryan Schuling Live when and where we will be playing.
But we have a great guitarist. His name is Eric Batucci.
We've got Ken Cornell on the bass, Mike Rossi on
the drums, and yours truly known as Jimmy Junior on
(21:26):
harmonica and doing vocals along with Ken and Eric. You
vocals too. So for some reason the drummer doesn't sing
or do anything like that. I don't know what's to
deal with our drummer, but he's great, he's one of
the best.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
He's just not Don Henley or Phil Collins, those types
of drummers that sing.
Speaker 7 (21:43):
And you know what, that's okay with me as long
as he's a badass on the drums. That's all that
I care.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
About, right.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
It's the Jimmy Junior Blues Band, And if you want
to hear the entire song, I was just sent that
file by Jimmy himself. You can text me at five
seven seven three nine with your email address and I'll
send it out to you. You can check it out.
Always good to look into local music and Jimmy doing
his level best to put this band together and entertain
the people, which I know you were invited Jimmy to
(22:09):
go down to the event coming up a week from Saturday.
Speaker 7 (22:13):
Yeah, who knows what what I'll do exactly, but I
have my briefcase full of blues ready to play some
harmonica at the Never Surrender.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Rally and we'll look forward to that and Jimmy Sangenberger
our guests. He's also, of course multi talented. He filled
in for Dan Kaplis yesterday fresh off of vacation to
San Francisco.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
He survived without a poop map somehow.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
And came back to write this op ed for the
Denver Gazette as he has wont to do and the
title is a little scary, I gotta admit, it made
me skittish. Jimmy, I immediately recoil at the sound of
a tax that works. But that's the title of this
for once a school tax that works. Now you're going
to have to really do some heavy lifting here and
explaining this one go ahead.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
Would you believe it if I said that the writer
of the column doesn't necessarily select the headline.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I think the headline does fit okay, fair enough, and
I know that you're not the headline right, that's correct.
Speaker 7 (23:12):
But it would fit in this respect in Woodland Park,
where there is some shady business going on in Woodland Park,
you know, the small city nestled on Pike's Peaks north slope.
There is a sales tax that voters put in place
in the municipality back in twenty sixteen one point nine
(23:33):
percent that is collected by the city and then transferred
to the school district. And now it makes up about
eleven percent of the school district's budget, bringing in roughly
three point two million dollars annually. And guess what, Usually
when you have a tax going place, it's just there
(23:53):
and you don't Yeah, a lot of times people don't
consider whether they're getting a real return on that money,
whether there's a good quality education for it. All too
often in this state. Ran you can look at Denver,
you can look at jeffco. You can look at Cherry
Creek schools. You have all this money that the voters
are willing to give them in bonds and mill Levey overrides,
(24:15):
and they misuse it and they failed time and time
again to provide a quality education, safety for their students,
you name it. But in Woodland Park we have actually
seen since the conservative reform minded school board majority took
over the school board in twenty twenty one, we have
actually seen noticeable improvements and the data shows this in
(24:39):
the quality of education there in addition to school choice
with the introduction of the Merit Academy charter school. So
you're actually getting a return on investments, so to speak,
from this sales tax and the support that has enabled
them to give a raise of sixteen percent raise to
the teachers there by the school board and actually have
(25:01):
some achievement. And yet the left of all things right,
the left that claims to be all behind you know,
wanting to fund schools, wants to repeal that tax.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
It is counterintuitive, I mean, it's backwards Jimmy in so
many ways when you think about this along traditional line,
So what do you think I'm going to have you
kind of get behind the eight ball here of viewing
things from that opposing view. What is the motive from
the left here in repealing this particular tax that they
just want to fund things their way?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Is there what they feel to be a better way?
What's at play here?
Speaker 7 (25:38):
Yeah, that's the big three point two million dollar question, right,
And I really do think there is shady business going
on here. The only reason that I could think of
doing something like this is if you're seeing progress and
you want to stop that progress, Because then what happens
you have a reform majority on the board that's able
(26:01):
to tout achievement, improvements, being able to tout that, yes,
you can have success in the school district when you
introduce a charter school and give more choice and opportunity.
When you have achievement, you have opportunity that is broadened
out there, and it's attributable to the actions of the
(26:21):
people they despise, and by golly, you gotta undercut them,
don't you.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, just seems like you can't even get along.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Look when it looks like This is absolutely something everybody
should be able to agree on.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Jimmy, we just can't do it.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
And this article I think is well timed, just with
everything that's going on kind of in a hornet's nests
around us. What do you think the final outcome of
this is going to be and where does it go
from here?
Speaker 7 (26:47):
You know, that is a question I'm not sure about.
The reed is a little difficult in part because one
of the interesting things is the Woodland Park School District
is within obviously this city of Woodland Party, but it
has a lot of families that go to these schools
that are in surrounding areas within Keller County, and they
(27:10):
don't have a vote on this, and surely there are
a lot of those parents who would say we should
keep the sales tax, but they can't vote. So it
really just comes down to what is going to happen
among the turnout with Woodland Park voters and how they're
going to come down on this. I think if you
(27:31):
see the tax stay in place, which is by the way,
this is really strange for a conservative like me to
say this, but if you see this sales tax in place,
you will continue to see improvements in Woodland Park Schools,
which is now, by the way, ranked number eighteen out
of some one hundred and seventy six I think school
(27:53):
districts in the state, just according to the most recent
data that's out there from the Department of Education. If
this tax goes away, then you will likely see cuts
to teacher pay and other cuts in the district because
they won't be able to afford nearly as much as
they have been in the things that are making this
(28:14):
district stronger and stronger every day.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Find it in the Denver Gazette or online at Denver
Gazette dot com. It's entitled for Once, a School Tax
that Works by Jimmy Segenberger, who you just heard from there. He,
of course is an investigative reporter and op ed writer
for the Denver Gazette and occasional fill in host on
this program and the Dan Kapli Show. Jemmy always thanks
you for your time, keep me posted on the band.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
Okay, hey, Ryan, thank you. And I'll just say for
anybody in the state that has a bond or MLO
mill levy override tax increase for their school districts, make
sure that if you were voting yes, you're doing so
because they've shown a demonstrable return on investment, not a
reason for you to say, you know what, actually you're
(29:01):
not doing the job right, in which case you should.
Speaker 3 (29:04):
Vote now foreshadowing for me, because Jimmy, you nailed it.
This is why I voted no on the Cherry Creek
tax mill levies because yeah, exactly that school district, as
Kelly will attest, is far and almost irretrievably left at
this point, I'm not going to vote to pay more
for it.
Speaker 2 (29:23):
Jimmy Stangenberger, you're the best, you bet. I got you
a timeout.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
We're back with the scariest thing you will hear today.
We are two weeks out from election day, but we
are nine days ahead of Halloween, and I have a
Halloween theme fright night for you coming up when we
return on Ryan Schuling Live.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Second.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
Tired of the legative dinner mind up, buy you Dan
Joousion and begin.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
For us just saying no, we are not going backwards, are.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Going I'm terrified right now.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Yeah, it wasn't good.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
My goodness. Do you remember that theme that you just
heard there? Calloween? Halloween?
Speaker 4 (30:21):
The original Myers?
Speaker 3 (30:23):
What's scarier Michael Myers or the cacophony of the combination
of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris that you just heard.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
Well, I think we both know the answer to that.
It would be the latter, not the former.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
Yeah no, that was a very good pull there by you.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Well.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Dan originally sent me this audio that he wanted and
it was this kind of give and take between Hillary
yelling and a crowd about Donald Trump, and then Kamala
Harris has started yelling at crowds about Donald Trump and
how bad he is, and I'm like, this is kind
of freaky, and wait a minute, it's Halloween and hold on,
I've got the theme. So I mixed it together and
(31:02):
came up with the scariest thing that you'll hear today.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
Are you friend? Are you terrified?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Yes? Okay, yeah, that was kind of terrifying.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Favorite installment of the Halloween film franchise go the first one,
the og, the original Yep, Donald Pleasance Yep. I think
he's a tremendous presence pleasance in that movie all the
way back.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Jesse Thomas, what say you Halloween? Favorite installment in that
film franchise series? Okay, number one, but the newest one
is also pretty awesome. I do like the newest one
super fun. It is fun and.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
It kind of tongue in cheek, makes fun of itself
and has some level of self awareness in it.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I do enjoy that, and it's one of those.
Speaker 3 (31:47):
It kind of launched the whole horror genre in the
sense that there would be installments, there would be sequels,
there would be too many sequels, Kelly. Another question to
put you on the spot, which horror movie franchise had
too many sequels?
Speaker 6 (32:02):
There?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
It was?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
I was going to ask you either Halloween Friday, the
thirteenth Nightmare on ELM Street.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I think those are the three big ones, right. I
always Wouldgreen Screams had way too many. That would be
a more modern one. But yes, because you can only
play it out so far. Right, then you've got a
retcon because you've devoured this character, whether it's Michael Mauer
Meyers or Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger. They've been burned,
(32:28):
they've been maimed, they've.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Been disintegrated, they've been turned to ashes, and somehow you
got to reprise the character.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
So you just have to erase it.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
What's that one movie? Uh, what's it.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
It's not hostile, but what's it's like a It's like
a newer kind of thing. But it has a bunch
of sequels. Saw Saw What?
Speaker 6 (32:50):
Now?
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Do you remember who was in the original Saw? That
was also in the Prince's Bride carry El's He's in
that And I did like the original Saw, But like
you said, you get in these kind of sequels and
there's too many of them. Hell Raiser was another really
good one, a little under the radar with a pinhead
(33:11):
as he was kind of affectionately known. So as we
are embarking upon this Halloween season, and you better bet
your bottom dollar Christian total is gonna be coming on
and giving us a full Halloween Fright Night preview of
his all time favorite classics in the horror genre. And
he's also an expert in that genre. What is your
favorite all time horror movie? Kelly go culture nice? Heo yes,
(33:35):
and Jesse go all the time favorite. It's a brand
new one and it's called in a Violent Nature. Okay,
I'm gonna have to ask Christian about that. A and
B if you could send me a link to that
Jesse via text, because I haven't seen it and I
do appreciate the genre. And Bruce Campbell remember him Detroit,
(33:55):
Michigan's own Evil Dead The Evil Dead that is one
and the reason I bring it up, thank you, Jesse,
is the sequel to Evil Dead two probably better than
the original, and very few of those types of movies.
Can you say that about Evil Dead two is top notch?
Evil Dead?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
Cult classic? Yes, the original Evil Dead. They talk about this,
Kelly in one of our favorite movies. I think you
don't like it, High Fidelity.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Jack Black talks to John Cusack about It's like, tell
them you haven't seen Evil Dead two yet.
Speaker 4 (34:28):
I haven't seen either one of the Evil deads, but.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
You've seen High Fidelity I have. Okay, you need to
see Evil.
Speaker 4 (34:34):
Dead, one of my all time favorite. John cusad I
know movies.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Now, you could see Evil Dead two.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
This is rare in the canon of a film's catalog
without having seen the original, and I think still enjoy
and appreciate Evil Dead two even though you don't know
the origin story.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Of Bruce Campbell there. But yeah, like Jesse said, cult classics,
so we'll be taking those from you as well, your
all time favorite horror movies. I got to make sure
to enunciate that particular word on the radio.
Speaker 3 (35:06):
Let's see here, and I appreciate this viewpoint. I want
to clarify this real quickly. Ryan on prop J, please
look at the wording they are trying to delete with
a yes, marriage is between a man and a woman.
Perhaps instead of deleting this definition, they should add wording
such as or to individuals of the same sex. I
voted no. I can respect that. I want to clarify
(35:27):
my position. Like the Jack Phillips case with the cakes,
I don't think any church should be forced to perform
a wedding for a gay couple, or a trans couple,
or anything else if it's against their fundamental beliefs. I
am very much a freedom of religion guy. You can
find a justice of the peace, you can find a
more liberal pastor to conduct a ceremony, But I don't
(35:48):
think you should force upon your beliefs, which may be
different from those of a real fundamentalist's establishment evangelical church.
But they should have to perform that only because there
are are alternatives, just like there are alternatives to Masterpiece
cake shop. If you don't like Jack Phillips or his beliefs,
then you go to another one, and then the problem
(36:09):
is solved.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
That's it. But if a Gate couple wants.
Speaker 3 (36:12):
To get married and celebrate a monogamous union, I support
and promote that. We'll have more on these propositions when
we come back
