Speaker 1 (00:00):
On Friday, Donald Trump came to what we will loosely
call Aurora the Gaylord Hotel out by the airport, and
did a big rally there, and there were some guest speakers,
including my next guest, who I'll bring on in a second,
but I want to share a little audio first, and
Lauren Bobert was there as well, and some other folks.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And much of the.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Topic of Donald Trump's conversation was illegal immigration and crime
committed by illegal aliens. And you know, immigration is maybe
the issue that won Donald Trump the election in twenty sixteen,
and it's still a big issue right now. Might not
(00:42):
be as big as inflation and the cost of living.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
But it's still big.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's still on a lot of people's minds, and Donald
Trump came here to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I would say that the person who brought the.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Issue into national consciousness is Danielle Jorinsky, Aurora City councilwoman
who is also a US Air Force veteran. She is
also an entrepreneur small businesswoman, owns multiple businesses in Aurora,
and she joins us. Before I bring her on, I
just want to share a few seconds of Danny Jorinsky
(01:19):
speaking with great passion on Friday about these issues.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I witnessed it with my own two eyes. I saw
how these people were living in my city, in my hometown.
I have been in Aurora, Colorado, my entire life. I
own businesses in Aurora. I'm a single mom. I'm a
community college graduate of Aurora. Everything about Aurora is my home.
(01:52):
And let me tell you something. You come into this
city and you threaten the residents of Aura, Colorado, I.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Will come for you.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Daniel Dreinski, Welcome back to Kowa. It's good to have you, Danny.
Thanks for being here.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Hey, thank you for having me. You can tell my
voice is still worse, but I'm here.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
All right.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Well, we'll make the best of it and drink some
tea with Honey when we get off, when we get
off the radio, before we talk about the substance of
all that in the issue. What was it like for
you to do that, to be there, and did you
meet the Donald? Just tell us a little the personal
story of what Friday was like for you.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Sure it was. I mean it was surreal, it was
very very surreal, but it was it was empowering. It
was very empowering. The energy level that was there. I
mean people after reading in long, long lines, people that
change early hours of the morning. I mean, these people
(02:57):
had so much energy, and I think right now, being
a Republican in this state, it was really rejuvenating, to
be honest with you, and then it showed unity. It
brought us together. And as you know, Ross, you know
there's some divide even at the state GOP level. But
(03:19):
what I saw on Friday, what I saw on Friday
was unity, Ross, and we haven't seen that in our
party in this state in a little while, so I
think it was reinvigorating. I did meet President Trumplin and
he thanked me. He thanked me, and that meant a
(03:42):
lot because I know how hard I've worked on this.
I have fought against many media outlets, I have fought
against activists. It's been nothing but a battle. But I
refused to remain silent on it.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I will also note to listeners that another listener who
was at the event on Friday took a video that
he sent me that I posted on my blog today
at Rosskominsky dot com and you can go see it,
and it's a video of him just using his camera
to follow the line of people on foot, not in cars,
the line of people to get into the Trump rally
(04:19):
at the Gaylord Hotel on Friday. And another friend of
mine who was who was there for a different thing
actually and was leaving when this was starting. She told
me she thought the line was over a mile long
of people, right, not cars. And the enthusiasm, as Danny
Jornsky is describing.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
You know, whatever you think of any of this, I
mean you that was real. It was It was. It
was remarkable. Go ahead, Danny.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I agree. I agree. I see the energy, the passion.
Like I said, you know, Donald Trump gets accused of
a lot of being a divider in this state. Like
I said, within our own party, we have been fractured,
we have been divided. But I am telling you on Friday,
(05:07):
we were unified and I haven't seen that. I haven't
felt that in quite a few years in this state.
And it ross. It just it was positive. It was
so positive and people were so happy. People moved the gates.
I don't know if you saw what I posted on experts,
(05:29):
people moved the gates for a World War two veteran
and his wife to cut everybody in line. I just ross.
I can't even describe describe how I believe this brought
us together.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So backing out a little bit on the issue.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Now, there's been a lot of discussion.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Of course, the Democrats are going to say and did say.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I think it was Polis who said that, you know,
this was in your imagination, and I criticized him on
the air in public for saying that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
By the way, I don't know if you heard, but
you know.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
There there's been some disagreement within the Republican Party here.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
About the level of the problem.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
And you probably heard that JD Mance thing on ABC News.
How should we how should we think about the scale
of the problem on a range of there's absolutely nothing
to see here and there never was on one on
one end, and the other end being it's escaped from
New York now it's escape from Aurora, and we need
(06:44):
Snake Plisken to save us all.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, you know, to clarify, and I've clarify this many
many times, the entire city of Aurora was not has
not been taken over. But just like j Events did
an interview and I am so impressed he said exactly
what I have been saying. If you also go on
(07:08):
my ex account you will see or I reposted something
that Jason Crow said, and I said, how many apartment
complexes how to be overtaken for this to be an issue?
Because the Democrats just period, there's no issue. There's no
issue at all. And three apartment complexes in Aurora were
(07:33):
completely taken over by this game. They were under the
complete control of this game. It's in police reports. They
said if the property manager returned, they were going to
fill them with bullets. There's police report after police report.
There is so much overwhelming evidence of this. And what
this comes down to is they decided to play politics
(07:55):
with people's lives because it's an election here, you know,
that's the bottom line. I didn't do this to bolster
Donald Trump, make no mistake of it. Donald Trump was
not on my mind at all. What was on my
mind is that I found out that there were Americans trapped.
There were people, human beings, a family trapped living behind
(08:21):
five locks and a door brace, with men outside their
door constantly with guns. What was on my mind was
getting those people who didn't have the memes on their own,
because if they did, they would have already been gone.
What was on my mind is getting those people. It
(08:41):
was getting those people out of that complex with by
the way, both of their vehicles filled with bullet holes.
So I said to Jason grow on X, what is
it going to take? Well, how many complexes? How many people?
Is there a threshold? Is there a threshold for the
Democrat to admit the full truth about this gang and
(09:04):
how dangerous this gang is? Three apartment complexes isn't enough?
How many.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's very powerful. It's a remark, it's very powerful. And
what you're saying. And also what jd Vance said basically
the same thing to Martha raddits is exactly the right answer,
Like how many is okay? Do you hear yourself right now?
Is what she said what he said to her, And
Kawane News actually just played that a few minutes ago.
Let's see, I've got some other follow ups with you here,
(09:34):
and I don't know how far you want to go
down this road with me, but I got the sense
that you and maybe some other folks thought that the
at some point the Aurora Police Department didn't tell the
truth about what was going on in those complexes at
the time.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
At least, Do.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
You have that feeling now that you were not told
the truth?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I got that feeling since d one. That's why I
said in my speech on Friday that when I got
tired of asking questions, of asking for answers. Remember ross
this came to me from police officers. This came to
me from police officers with photos, with videos, with their
(10:24):
own you know, eyewitness testimony of what was going on
in these complexes and their knowledge of this trendy Aragua gang.
So and this wasn't just one or two, This wasn't
even ten. This started being an overwhelming amount of officers
that were coming to me. And when I was sitting
(10:45):
in meetings and I was asking questions about this gang,
what do we know? What's going on? Where's the staff
at these properties? Because there is no staff, so then
who is in control? What is the truth? And when
I just kept being told over and over and over
(11:05):
about code enforcement violations. Again, like I said in my
speech on Friday, I have never once in my life
that the police officer that is scared of code enforcement violations.
And remember it came out even that trendy Arragua put
a green light on our officers in the Denver metro area.
(11:28):
That's how serious this was to these officers.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You mean, like a laser pointer. Is that what you're
talking about?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
No, they put a green You didn't read Oh you mean.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Oh oh, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, like you're you can go kill the cops, is
what you're talking about?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did. I did read that story
game up.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And season police officers, so so our police officers absolutely
were becoming increasingly afraid. And one of the very reasons
is because they're out there, boots on the ground, front line, fighting,
fighting with this gang, and their own leadership is downplaying it.
(12:08):
A war of police leadership told officers, we will not
identify any of them, We will not connect anybody to
any kind of gang activity. They I mean, they refuse
to acknowledge any of it.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
A couple of listeners want to know where the evidence
is of these gangs having taken over multiple buildings.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well, Ross, look, that's the interpretation, right, everybody's interpretation of
a takeover. Yeah, A police support came out November fourteenth,
a police report came out. That police report is that
this gang severely and the video footage is out there,
severely beat one of the property me so badly, so badly,
(13:03):
he was hospitalized. They then held a gun to the
maintenance man's head and said, you will never return to work.
They then held a gun to the cleaning lady and
they robbed her for all of the deposit money that
was in the office, robbed her and told her you
(13:25):
will never return to work. How does a takeover start
because none of them ever returned to work.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Separate from the issue of the gang takeover again, I
have multiple listeners asking a similar question about.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
A few people are using the term slumlord.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Do you think Aurora has an issue there with people
owning properties and not keeping them up even to a
half decent standard.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Perhaps then allows.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
This other kind of thing to happen, or even without
the gang thing, is this an issue for Aurora that
you're going to be looking at, you know, maybe when
the intensity of this current illegal immigration problem is behind us.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
A little more well ro First and foremost, I've gone
after apartment complexes myself, and I can prove that. I
can prove that with emails I have had, you know, folks,
and this is totally separate from the trendy iraval issue,
but I have had folks reach out to me with pictures,
photo evidence of their living conditions, and I have gotten
(14:36):
city staff to go after some apartment complexes. Now, do
I think that more than one thing in this situation
could be true? Absolutely? Do I think that this property
owner maybe let some things go into neglect, maybe could
have done a couple things better, specifically with the known property, Yeah,
(14:59):
I think. But does that mean that the people living
there deserve to fall under complete control of a Venezuelan gang.
A man jumping out of the fourth story of the
building for in fear of his life for these from
this gang. Does that mean that a man deserves to
(15:21):
be kidnapped and dumped off in Southlands? Absolutely not. And
the other thing is, and the other thing is is
While I agree more than one thing can be true,
Shame on the City of Aurora for signing off on
all three building inspections on the Nome Street property in
(15:42):
twenty twenty three, the last one being in November of
twenty twenty three. Shame on the city.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Wow, we're talking with Daniel Jerminsky, Aurora City councilwoman.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You can hear she's been.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Talking a lot. And oh, Danny, if you have a chance,
I don't know if you're a member of a health
club anywhere, but if you've got access to a steam room.
I promise you, because I've been through what you're dealing with.
Now go somewhere and get some steam. It'll help.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
This is from doctor Opperman, all right, So go get
some steam.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
All right?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
One last question for you, following up on something from
before you said on Friday at the rally and just
now that you think the police didn't tell you the truth,
and you've thought that from the beginning. Do you think
you're getting the truth now now that there's a new
chief And I don't know whether you whether you were
getting the wrong stuff under the previous guy or under
the current guy, do you sense any change there?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
You know, that's a tough one. That's a tough one,
Ross because as of right now, the new chief still
has himself surrounded by the old guard, the ones who
did not tell the truth, the ones who denied even
knowing about a gang problem. So until there's real change
(17:01):
within the Aurora police leadership, I don't know that there
will be any kind of real effective change within the
Aurora Police Department.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I mean, you have a new chief, right so I
guess it comes down to whether he wants change in
the department then, and I don't know if the city
council or the city manager or somebody could force out
like the number two, three, four, five people.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I have no idea how that works. To you, city.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Manager, city manager could get involved.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Absolutely, Danielle, you've really you've brought this to national level
of national attention, and I'm sure it's gonna stay there
for a while.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And I applaud your efforts.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
And also just to make sure people really understand what's
going on in the sense of right, it's not that
there's no problem, but it's also not that Aurora is
a hell hole. It's been, it's been a real thing
in a few places. I will also Noteanelle and I
put this in my blog while at hub just put
out a survey today of the safest cities and nothing
in Colorado does particularly well. But in that survey, Aurora
(18:12):
comes up as safer than both Denver and Colorado Springs.
And so for those picturing, you know, snake plisken, it's
not like that. And I'll give you the last seventeen
seconds because I like prime numbers.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh, I would push back on that a little bit rough.
Denver's the first largest city, Colorado is the second largest city.
Or I'm sorry, colabus. Rings is the second largest city,
Aurora is the third largest city. So if Aurora is
Ring third and Colorado Springs second and Denver first for
being the worst in crime, I mean that sort of
makes sense. Ultimately, bottom line, it doesn't matter. This entire
(18:49):
state is under decline and has been under decline under
the leadership of Jared Polis and the current elected Democrats.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Danielle Jerinski, member of the Auroras City Council, US Air
Force veteran entrepreneur. Thanks for your time, Danielle, go get
some rest on that voice.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Thanks to talk to you.
On Friday, Donald Trump came to what we will loosely
call Aurora the Gaylord Hotel out by the airport, and
did a big rally there, and there were some guest speakers,
including my next guest, who I'll bring on in a second,
but I want to share a little audio first, and
Lauren Bobert was there as well, and some other folks.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
And much of the.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
Topic of Donald Trump's conversation was illegal immigration and crime
committed by illegal aliens. And you know, immigration is maybe
the issue that won Donald Trump the election in twenty sixteen,
and it's still a big issue right now. Might not
(00:42):
be as big as inflation and the cost of living.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
But it's still big.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
It's still on a lot of people's minds, and Donald
Trump came here to talk about it.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Now.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I would say that the person who brought the.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Issue into national consciousness is Danielle Jorinsky, Aurora City councilwoman
who is also a US Air Force veteran. She is
also an entrepreneur small businesswoman, owns multiple businesses in Aurora,
and she joins us. Before I bring her on, I
just want to share a few seconds of Danny Jorinsky
(01:19):
speaking with great passion on Friday about these issues.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
I witnessed it with my own two eyes. I saw
how these people were living in my city, in my hometown.
I have been in Aurora, Colorado, my entire life. I
own businesses in Aurora. I'm a single mom. I'm a
community college graduate of Aurora. Everything about Aurora is my home.
(01:52):
And let me tell you something. You come into this
city and you threaten the residents of Aura, Colorado, I.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Will come for you.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Daniel Dreinski, Welcome back to Kowa. It's good to have you, Danny.
Thanks for being here.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
Hey, thank you for having me. You can tell my
voice is still worse, but I'm here.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
All right.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Well, we'll make the best of it and drink some
tea with Honey when we get off, when we get
off the radio, before we talk about the substance of
all that in the issue. What was it like for
you to do that, to be there, and did you
meet the Donald? Just tell us a little the personal
story of what Friday was like for you.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Sure it was. I mean it was surreal, it was
very very surreal, but it was it was empowering. It
was very empowering. The energy level that was there. I
mean people after reading in long, long lines, people that
change early hours of the morning. I mean, these people
(02:57):
had so much energy, and I think right now, being
a Republican in this state, it was really rejuvenating, to
be honest with you, and then it showed unity. It
brought us together. And as you know, Ross, you know
there's some divide even at the state GOP level. But
(03:19):
what I saw on Friday, what I saw on Friday
was unity, Ross, and we haven't seen that in our
party in this state in a little while, so I
think it was reinvigorating. I did meet President Trumplin and

(04:19):
at the Gaylord Hotel on Friday. And another friend of
mine who was who was there for a different thing
actually and was leaving when this was starting. She told
me she thought the line was over a mile long
of people, right, not cars. And the enthusiasm, as Danny
Jornsky is describing.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
You know, whatever you think of any of this, I
mean you that was real. It was It was. It
was remarkable. Go ahead, Danny.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I agree. I agree. I see the energy, the passion.
Like I said, you know, Donald Trump gets accused of
a lot of being a divider in this state. Like
I said, within our own party, we have been fractured,
we have been divided. But I am telling you on Friday,
(05:07):
we were unified and I haven't seen that. I haven't
felt that in quite a few years in this state.
And it ross. It just it was positive. It was
so positive and people were so happy. People moved the gates.
I don't know if you saw what I posted on experts,
(05:29):
people moved the gates for a World War two veteran
and his wife to cut everybody in line. I just ross.
I can't even describe describe how I believe this brought
us together.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
So backing out a little bit on the issue.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Now, there's been a lot of discussion.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Of course, the Democrats are going to say and did say.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I think it was Polis who said that, you know,
this was in your imagination, and I criticized him on
the air in public for saying that.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
By the way, I don't know if you heard, but
you know.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
There there's been some disagreement within the Republican Party here.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
About the level of the problem.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
And you probably heard that JD Mance thing on ABC News.
How should we how should we think about the scale

Snake Plisken to save us all.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, you know, to clarify, and I've clarify this many
many times, the entire city of Aurora was not has
not been taken over. But just like j Events did

What was on my mind is getting those people. It
(08:41):
was getting those people out of that complex with by
the way, both of their vehicles filled with bullet holes.
So I said to Jason grow on X, what is
it going to take? Well, how many complexes? How many people?
Is there a threshold? Is there a threshold for the
Democrat to admit the full truth about this gang and
(09:04):
how dangerous this gang is? Three apartment complexes isn't enough?
How many.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
It's very powerful. It's a remark, it's very powerful. And
what you're saying. And also what jd Vance said basically
the same thing to Martha raddits is exactly the right answer,
Like how many is okay? Do you hear yourself right now?
Is what she said what he said to her, And
Kawane News actually just played that a few minutes ago.
Let's see, I've got some other follow ups with you here,
(09:34):
and I don't know how far you want to go
down this road with me, but I got the sense
that you and maybe some other folks thought that the
at some point the Aurora Police Department didn't tell the
truth about what was going on in those complexes at
the time.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
At least, Do.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
You have that feeling now that you were not told
the truth?
Speaker 3 (09:58):
I got that feeling since d one. That's why I
said in my speech on Friday that when I got
tired of asking questions, of asking for answers. Remember ross
this came to me from police officers. This came to
me from police officers with photos, with videos, with their
(10:24):
own you know, eyewitness testimony of what was going on
in these complexes and their knowledge of this trendy Aragua gang.
So and this wasn't just one or two, This wasn't
even ten. This started being an overwhelming amount of officers
that were coming to me. And when I was sitting
(10:45):
in meetings and I was asking questions about this gang,
what do we know? What's going on? Where's the staff
at these properties? Because there is no staff, so then
who is in control? What is the truth? And when
I just kept being told over and over and over
(11:05):
about code enforcement violations. Again, like I said in my
speech on Friday, I have never once in my life
that the police officer that is scared of code enforcement violations.
And remember it came out even that trendy Arragua put
a green light on our officers in the Denver metro area.
(11:28):
That's how serious this was to these officers.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
You mean, like a laser pointer. Is that what you're
talking about?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
No, they put a green You didn't read Oh you mean.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Oh oh, I know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, like you're you can go kill the cops, is
what you're talking about?
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did. I did read that story
game up.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
And season police officers, so so our police officers absolutely
were becoming increasingly afraid. And one of the very reasons
is because they're out there, boots on the ground, front line, fighting,
fighting with this gang, and their own leadership is downplaying it.
(12:08):
A war of police leadership told officers, we will not
identify any of them, We will not connect anybody to
any kind of gang activity. They I mean, they refuse
to acknowledge any of it.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
A couple of listeners want to know where the evidence
is of these gangs having taken over multiple buildings.
Speaker 3 (12:37):
Well, Ross, look, that's the interpretation, right, everybody's interpretation of
a takeover. Yeah, A police support came out November fourteenth,
a police report came out. That police report is that
this gang severely and the video footage is out there,
severely beat one of the property me so badly, so badly,
(13:03):
he was hospitalized. They then held a gun to the
maintenance man's head and said, you will never return to work.
They then held a gun to the cleaning lady and
they robbed her for all of the deposit money that
was in the office, robbed her and told her you
(13:25):
will never return to work. How does a takeover start
because none of them ever returned to work.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Separate from the issue of the gang takeover again, I
have multiple listeners asking a similar question about.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
A few people are using the term slumlord.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Do you think Aurora has an issue there with people
owning properties and not keeping them up even to a
half decent standard.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Perhaps then allows.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
This other kind of thing to happen, or even without
the gang thing, is this an issue for Aurora that
you're going to be looking at, you know, maybe when
the intensity of this current illegal immigration problem is behind us.
Speaker 3 (14:12):
A little more well ro First and foremost, I've gone
after apartment complexes myself, and I can prove that. I
can prove that with emails I have had, you know, folks,
and this is totally separate from the trendy iraval issue,
but I have had folks reach out to me with pictures,
photo evidence of their living conditions, and I have gotten
(14:36):
city staff to go after some apartment complexes. Now, do
I think that more than one thing in this situation
could be true? Absolutely? Do I think that this property
owner maybe let some things go into neglect, maybe could
have done a couple things better, specifically with the known property, Yeah,
(14:59):
I think. But does that mean that the people living
there deserve to fall under complete control of a Venezuelan gang.
A man jumping out of the fourth story of the
building for in fear of his life for these from
this gang. Does that mean that a man deserves to
(15:21):
be kidnapped and dumped off in Southlands? Absolutely not. And
the other thing is, and the other thing is is
While I agree more than one thing can be true,
Shame on the City of Aurora for signing off on
all three building inspections on the Nome Street property in
(15:42):
twenty twenty three, the last one being in November of
twenty twenty three. Shame on the city.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Wow, we're talking with Daniel Jerminsky, Aurora City councilwoman.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
You can hear she's been.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Talking a lot. And oh, Danny, if you have a chance,
I don't know if you're a member of a health
club anywhere, but if you've got access to a steam room.
I promise you, because I've been through what you're dealing with.
Now go somewhere and get some steam. It'll help.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
This is from doctor Opperman, all right, So go get
some steam.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
All right?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
One last question for you, following up on something from
before you said on Friday at the rally and just
now that you think the police didn't tell you the truth,
and you've thought that from the beginning. Do you think
you're getting the truth now now that there's a new
chief And I don't know whether you whether you were
getting the wrong stuff under the previous guy or under
the current guy, do you sense any change there?
Speaker 3 (16:39):
You know, that's a tough one. That's a tough one,
Ross because as of right now, the new chief still
has himself surrounded by the old guard, the ones who
did not tell the truth, the ones who denied even
knowing about a gang problem. So until there's real change
(17:01):
within the Aurora police leadership, I don't know that there
will be any kind of real effective change within the
Aurora Police Department.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I mean, you have a new chief, right so I
guess it comes down to whether he wants change in
the department then, and I don't know if the city
council or the city manager or somebody could force out
like the number two, three, four, five people.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
I have no idea how that works. To you, city.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Manager, city manager could get involved.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Absolutely, Danielle, you've really you've brought this to national level
of national attention, and I'm sure it's gonna stay there
for a while.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
And I applaud your efforts.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
And also just to make sure people really understand what's
going on in the sense of right, it's not that
there's no problem, but it's also not that Aurora is
a hell hole. It's been, it's been a real thing
in a few places. I will also Noteanelle and I
put this in my blog while at hub just put
out a survey today of the safest cities and nothing
in Colorado does particularly well. But in that survey, Aurora
(18:12):
comes up as safer than both Denver and Colorado Springs.
And so for those picturing, you know, snake plisken, it's
not like that. And I'll give you the last seventeen
seconds because I like prime numbers.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Oh, I would push back on that a little bit rough.
Denver's the first largest city, Colorado is the second largest city.
Or I'm sorry, colabus. Rings is the second largest city,
Aurora is the third largest city. So if Aurora is
Ring third and Colorado Springs second and Denver first for
being the worst in crime, I mean that sort of
makes sense. Ultimately, bottom line, it doesn't matter. This entire
(18:49):
state is under decline and has been under decline under
the leadership of Jared Polis and the current elected Democrats.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Danielle Jerinski, member of the Auroras City Council, US Air
Force veteran entrepreneur. Thanks for your time, Danielle, go get
some rest on that voice.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Thanks to talk to you.
