Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Well, no, it's Mandy Connell, Andy ton.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Koa Ninetema Godoy study.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
Can the Nicety three by Donald Keeping Your Sad Bab.
Welcome Local, Welcome to a Thursday edition of the show.
I'm your host for the next three hours. Mandy Connell
is my name, and today I am joined by one
mister Grant Smith in for the vacationing Anthony Rodriguez. Good

(00:39):
to see you on Bolo Tie Thursday. Grant, Yeah, got
chucks on today?

Speaker 5 (00:43):
Oh nice?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Nice?

Speaker 5 (00:44):
That was actually his dad's.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yeah, so Grandpa Jack, Grandpa Jack's bowlow tie on today,
and I'm thrilled that that that thing is getting as
much use as it is.

Speaker 5 (00:54):
You know what, guys, let me just say this.

Speaker 4 (00:55):
If you have something interesting like a bolo tie that
you never wear, but then a strapping young man starts
wearing bolo ties on Thursday at work, and you think
to yourself, you know what, We're going to give him
that bowlow tie. And that's why Grant is wearing my
late father in law's bolow tie right now.

Speaker 6 (01:12):
And those are my favorites are the ones that have
a story to him, you know, those are the ones
that stick out.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
Do you remember where things came from?

Speaker 7 (01:19):
This is almost always.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
This is one of the things that makes me wonder
if my brain is normal, because I have a lasagna
pan that was a gift for my first wedding, and
I can tell you exactly you gave it to me.
I can't remember his wife's name, but I can tell
you exactly what they gave me for a wedding gift
for you know, and that was in you know, twenty
six years ago.

Speaker 7 (01:39):
Yep, we have a candy bowl that we would never own.

Speaker 6 (01:42):
But one of my mom's friends, her mom passed away,
and said, I don't know what the hell I'm going
to do with all this stuff. So Gwenn, my mom's friend,
her mother's candy bowl now lives on in Olivia and
I's house.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
The worst part about this stuff is that all of
your things, and this goes true to pretty much everything,
unless you're like, you know, one of those families is
like great great great Grandpa built this in seventeen eighty
five or something. I know, most people are a little
more mobile at this point and have gotten rid of
some of that stuff. But however meaningful your stuff is

(02:15):
to you, it becomes crap the minute you die, because
all that meaningful stuff for whatever reason, like you know,
you just get attached to you remember that moment on vacation.
You know, you remember exactly where you were when you
bought that thing or someone gave you this gift for that.
I mean, I remember all of that stuff. It's almost
it's almost bizarre. But all that being said, just remember

(02:38):
it's all crap to whoever has to go through it
after you die.

Speaker 6 (02:41):
By the way, not that your theme song is crap,
but I was not a fan of it when it
first started.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Thrown on you, hasn't it.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
I sing along to it every you know what? And
it makes you happy, doesn't It doesn't. It's a mocker song.
I love the happy song. And it was made by
a guy named Ty Shade and he is just a
listener to the show and just got a wild hair
and use some AI music programs and lyrics City Road
it is.

Speaker 5 (03:07):
That that's where it came from.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Mandy. Just as your listeners enjoy weekly whether Wednesday, I'd
like to see a money market Monday guy or gal
to recap previous week and current week on the stock market.
As you can see, ever since the party you elected
to represent America has caused severe losses in the market.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Weekly updates would.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Be nice, guys. I've said it before. I actually think
we're gonna end up in a bit of a recession
before it's all said and done, but after the recession
if all of these policies go into effect, tariffs being
an outlier. Today, we're going to talk to Steve Moore
at about two thirty about tariffs. He is on the
Trump Economic advisory team, and he is a staunch free

(03:49):
market guy. I mean, I know this about Steve. I've
interviewed Steve for ten years now. He is as free
market as a free market guy can be. So I
am guessing he is not thrilled with these tariffs. But
we're gonna to him and find out what his thoughts
are about what the President's motives are in these tariffs. Now,
I heard something the other day and I have not

(04:09):
been able to go back and read it and see
if it's actually a proposal, if it's just something you
see on the internet. Somebody was talking about the possibility
of getting rid of the irs. Now, if you get
rid of income tax, which by the way, would require
a constitutional amendment. So this is one of those things
where it sounds really good to say it, but the
reality of what that is is just so far outside

(04:30):
the realm of what's possible in the current environment.

Speaker 5 (04:34):
So don't get excited.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
That being said, if you change the way the government
is funded from the backs of the people who work
and produce here to people who want to sell things
into the country, which is how it was funded for
a very long time.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
It sounds great, but will it work.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
No, because that's where you're going to run up against
intractable government. And even if it were the best idea ever,
it would have to be ratified by two thirds of
the state legislatures, and there are legislatures in this country
that would never give Donald Trump a win of that size. Never,
because that's the official position currently at the Democrats is

(05:12):
just whatever he's not. And you know, I said it
a couple of days, I said it yesterday. It's like
sometimes the blind squirrel finds a nut, right, and that's
bad posturing. What's been fascinating watching over the last twenty
four hours is how many Democrats have come out to
be critical of what the Democrats did at this speech.

(05:34):
That has been kind of surprising to me, and I
heard Ross talking about this. You know what, Let me
do the blog and then I'll come back to the
Gavin Newsom podcast because I have that on the blog today.
So right now Jared Polis is trying to figure out
a way how to go podcasts be podcast with Gavin
Newsom without it making it look like he's going podcast
v podcast with Gavin Newsom.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
That story is just.

Speaker 8 (06:02):

A man and boy talk about life, and a girl
and a woman talk about life. Those are the headlines
on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com. Now, while there's
a lot more stuff on the blog than I realized
till I lost my breath, there got a couple of videos.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Few videos at the bottom.

to work today.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Then if you're feeling sad, slap on a big old
fake smile and hold it there. Studies show it will
actually elevate your mood. And then two videos back to back.
This is so cute. I'm going to do it with
my grandsons this weekend because I'm going to see him
this weekend. A boy and a man talk about life.
They sit and ask each other questions about life, and

(08:26):
it's the cutest thing. And then they have a girl
and a woman and it's adorable. It's very, very cute.
Those things are on the blog now. I want to
talk about the Gavin Newsom stories since I talked about
it earlier. But at one o'clock we've got Gary and
Brad from Bell and Pollock. They're coming in. I love
ask the lawyer stuff because I like knowing other people's business.
So we're gonna help them.

Speaker 9 (08:47):
Come in.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
And if you have a question about personal injury, and
I actually have two questions to ask them, one hypothetical
one real life when it comes to medical malpractice, and
get those questions ready, because they're going to be at
one o'clock to do that now. Gavin Newsom and I
have this on Today's blog, has launched a podcast, The
Media Product no one was asking for, Grant the Gavin

(09:11):
Newsom Show, or this is Gavin Newsom, This is Gavin Newsom.

Speaker 7 (09:15):
I'm already sick of this guy. Like this an end
to it.

Speaker 4 (09:20):
I think I'm actually going to go listen to it,
because here's what's happening. You know how, I like to
give our governor, Governor Jared Polis high marks for his
ability to be a political animal. He's better at politics
than pretty much anybody in the game right now, period.
And he's already running for president, not officially, but he's
running for president. You look at every decision he makes,

(09:41):
everything he posts on social media is designed with his
presidential run in mind.

Speaker 5 (09:47):
Okay, he's laying the breadcrumbs.

Speaker 4 (09:49):
Of Look how we've lowered costs in Colorado, which is
just a blatant lie, a blatant lie, Grant, how much
of your costs gone down in Colorado in the last
few years.

Speaker 7 (10:00):
The only change in cost I've seen has been up.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
Yes for everything, yes, yes, and not all of this
is Jared Polos's fault.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
Let's be clear.

Speaker 4 (10:09):
I mean, there's been a pandemic, and there's been all
kinds of stuff, and inflation has been out of control,
but Colorado's inflation has been worse than the rest of
the nation.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
I have that on the blog today.

Speaker 10 (10:19):
So enter.

Speaker 5 (10:20):
This is Gavin Newsome his new podcast.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
He's pledged to sit down with people from across the aisle.
This guy's blazing through the Democratic primary. He's already working
on the general election by talking to people from across
the aisle.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Let's find those areas of commonality.

Speaker 4 (10:40):
And guess what. A guy who has been a full
throated champion of children keeping their gender transition to them
away from their parents has now come out and said
that he thinks men should not be able to compete
in women's sports. And he said, I think that it's
an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on

(11:00):
that it is an issue of fairness. It's deeply unfair.
I'm not wrestling with the fairness issue. I totally agree
with you. Now here's my question. How does Jared Poulis
launch his podcast now without making it look like he's
just trying to go podcast be podcast with Gavin Newsom.

Speaker 5 (11:20):
And how mad is he that.

Speaker 4 (11:23):
Gavin Newsom already took kind of a cool name. This
is Gavin Newsom, like, not all that stuff you've seen
in the media before. Not the guy who kind of
oversaw the decline of California even more, not that guy.
This is Gavin Newsom, the reasonable guy. He talks to
people across the aisle. Heck, he's practically a libertarian. When

(11:47):
Gavin Newsom comes out with his first I'm a Libertarian commercial,
I'm gonna fall on the floor and die of laughter.
You guys will have to revive me. You'll have to
get the paddles, whatever that old thing is. It's just
we are seeing this is the beginning of the Democratic
campaign for twenty twenty eight. We're watching it right now,

(12:08):
and people may not realize outside of Colorado that this
is Jared Poulis's aspiration. But let me explain to you
something if you are just getting new to the party
about Jared Poulis. Jared Polis was a successful, very successful entrepreneur,
made a lot of money, and for that I'd begrudge
him nothing. I think, you know, good job, well done.

(12:29):
But then Jared Polis spent more money than had ever
been spent before in a Board of Education race to
get onto the Colorado Board of Education, the most money
that had ever been spent. And then he proceeded to
decide he wanted to.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
Run for Congress.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
So what did he do? He spent the most money
ever spent to get into Congress, and after he served
in Congress for a little bit, he then decid he
was going to run for governor. So he then spent
the most money ever spent in a governor's race to
win the governorship, and then spent an obscene amount of

(13:12):
money that, by his standards prior to the money spent
that he spent prior, would have been an insane amount
of money to keep an office that he was already
widely expected to win. Carrett Police has been running for
president since he paid to get on the Board of Education.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
I mean, that is it.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
He has had a very clear view of what he
has wanted to do, and maybe the timeline isn't exactly
what he thought it would be, you know, maybe it
really depends on who wins the race and what party
holds the seat and all that stuff. So there were
variables beyond his control. But he has had a mission
since he ran for Board of Education, and we are

(13:50):
seeing the beginning of his presidential run now. And y'all
don't sell the man short. He is the best politician
I've seen in a very long time. He understands the game,
he understands human emotion, he understands all kinds of stuff.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
He's good.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
There's a very good chance that he could be president,
depending on how the next four years goes. Because here's
what I'm counting on. I'm counting on after the first
six months of chaos that is sure to happen in
the beginning of this Trump administration.

Speaker 5 (14:23):
We're seeing it now.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
And by the way, when I say chaos, let me
be clear, I'm not opposed to all the chaos. It's
just a lot.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Some of it I love.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Some of it is really disruptive in a way that
I don't think people who voted for Trump to do
these things thought they were going to be directly affected.
I mean, that's the kind of chaos that we're seeing here.
I do think we're going to see a recession, but
I also think when the economy adjusts and all of
that money that was going to the government starts going

(14:56):
into the private economy again.

Speaker 5 (14:58):
Then you see explosive of economic growth.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
I hope I'm right. And even if you hate Donald Trump,
I think you probably hope I'm right.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
Even when I didn't like Joe.

Speaker 4 (15:09):
Biden had wanted him out of office, I didn't want
America to suffer to make that happen. I always want
to see us, the United States people succeed, which is
why I'm a small government, free market person. That being said,
we're watching this, we're gonna see it. Do not sell
the man short. He could very well be the next

(15:29):
president or the president after that, of the United States
of America. He's a savvy dude. He's got a lot
of money.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
He's done his.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
Bidding for the Democratic Party.

Speaker 4 (15:39):
He did that stupid bit where he ripped pages out
of twenty twenty five at the DNC, although he's been
known to do stupid bits before, so maybe they didn't
have to twist his arm for that one. But he's
a man on a mission, Mandy. When I served on
the school board, Jared Polus in a box of chocolates
every Christmas to all school board members in the state.

(16:02):
Must have cost a chunk of change. Mandy Jared Polis
isn't good looking enough to run for president.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
But Jared Polis is gay. He's openly gay.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
And guess what we haven't had We haven't had an
openly gay president in the White House. Nope. So he
checks an identity box that until now has been very
important to the Democratic Party. Although the conversations that I've
seen from people inside the Democratic Party are not necessarily

(16:36):
party leaders, but people who are Democrats. They are ready
to throw all of this kind of social causes under
the bus. They're done with the whole transgender sports issue.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
They are done with all of it. So it's going
to be very interesting to see.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
How it works. Mandy. If Jared Polis is going to
run for president, he should probably get on the gop
one treatment.

Speaker 11 (16:59):
Now.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
He kind of has that slash fun You look to himself.
What I got That didn't make any sense, Mandy. He
might be that good, But there won't be a gay
guy's president anytime soon. That is a lot of money wasted.
You know what, I would have believed you twenty years ago.
But I think that a couple of things. There are

(17:22):
enough people who want to vote for someone still based
on whatever their identity is because now we've created intersectionality,
so all oppressed minorities are supposed to support each other.
I know that doesn't really happen, does not happen, but
here we are, that's what's supposed to happen. I'm just
letting you know what their rules are. We'll see, though, guys,

(17:45):
we'll see. Do not sell him short and do not
count him out. We will be back, and I've got
so much stuff on the blog. We're gonna start well,
we're gonna start with, Oh, you know what, do you
remember the guys who froze in the backyard in Kansas City?

Speaker 7 (17:58):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (17:58):
Yeah, I have an update. I saw it today and
I was like, oh, finally an update. We'll do that next.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
January of last year.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
There were three dudes in Kansas City that went over
to their buddy's house to watch the game, and he
said he went upstairs and went to bed, and then
a couple days later they found the dudes frozen in
the guy's backyard. Now we have more information because two
arrests have been made, and I know that I isn't
it awful grant that now when I see anyone who's

(18:29):
young who dies, I immediately go damn drugs. Yeah, unless
they say car accident or something. You know, that's my
first thought is.

Speaker 5 (18:38):
Oh, it was drugs, and in this case it was drugs.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
Yeah, and that seems to be you know, you're not
wrong for making that assumption because the numbers.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
I know, but I just I hate it that that's
where we are. It's like a reflex, you know, and
God forbids someone just die. Oh It's like immediately you're
you're disparaging their character, you know, assuming, But it's sad. Well,
these guys currently bought uh, some cocaine from a guy
and two guys, Jordan Willis and Ivory Carson. They've now

(19:09):
been charged with three counts of involuntary manslaughter and two
counts of delivery of a controlled substance. Court records indicate
that Carson, who went by Blade Brown, supplied and sold
cocaine to Willis and the victims, and that his DNA
was found on a bag of fentanyl, so it was
a drug overdose.

Speaker 5 (19:26):
And then the dudes froze to death.

Speaker 4 (19:28):
And I'm just like, oh uh, and everybody was casting
dispersions on the guy who owned the house without knowing anything.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
What a terrible story. You know, I gotta tell you
this is.

Speaker 4 (19:39):
Gonna sound like a horrible thing to say, so prepare
your angry emails now. I'm glad I was young when
I was, when a vast majority of the time, if
you went out and you partied with your friends, you
weren't gonna die. And now it seems like with the
spread of fentanyl, it's and I'm not recommending going out
buying illegal drugs. Please don't take it that way. But

(20:01):
you know, we just had to worry about AIDS and herpies.
We didn't have to worry about somebody giving our kid
a pill at a party.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
That will instantly kill them.

Speaker 7 (20:10):
Back in the good days, when cocaine was just cocaine.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Yeah, exactly, you know, when the water was clean but
their minds were dirty or something.

Speaker 5 (20:19):
My late mother in law used to say.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
It's just sad. And before everybody gets sends the sanctimonious
I can't believe you're defending people who use illegal drugs.
Then I want to follow up and tell me that
you've never made an enclossally stupid decision in your life,
because if you haven't, you've had a boring, unchallenged life.
I mean Honestly, I've learned the most from the colossally

(20:43):
stupid decisions that I've made in my life. Some of
them I would not want to do again, except for
the fact that they were so instructive.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
But none of them killed me. I guess I have
that going for me. Anyway.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
Mandy wasn't one of the home wasn't one of the
ones arrested homeowner. I do not believe that it was
Wait a minute, nope, Oh no, you're right. Oh no,
I misread that entire article.

Speaker 5 (21:13):
It was the homeowner. He was one of them.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
Oh, thank you, Texter. I was feeling sorry for that guy.
Now I know he's part of the problem. He's a
big part of the problem. Half of it, to be exact.
Thank you, Texter. I completely misread that article this morning.
When I was reading it, I was in a hurry
this morning. I have so much stuff on the blog
it's not even funny. Including I went around and did

(21:36):
some digging this morning. Oh on the blog today, Mike
Johnston testified yesterday. I thought about playing more audio today,
but I think that I don't know if you guys
heard all of it, but a lot of it got
played on Kawa all day long, and I just I.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
Don't want to keep playing it over and over again.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
But on the blog today you can go see the
video of the mayor's opening statement, so you can get
the vibe he was going for. And then Representative Gabe Evans,
and then Representative Lauren Bobert, and then Representative Jim Jordan,
who obviously is not local, but he absolutely really came
after Mike Johnston. It was pretty intense. And then Representative

(22:18):
Jeff Craik. I have some of his I can't find
his entire questioning online, so I could not do that.
So that is all on the blog today. Also on
the blog today, I was starting to I'm trying to
dig down more on the tariff situation and make sure
that I'm educated so in looking at what we're talking about. Yesterday,
the President gave a special dispensation, a thirty day waiver

(22:38):
for three carmakers, one of them owned by a bunch
of foreigners and headquartered in the Netherlands, but they happened
to own American brands, and he gave them an exemption
because even if the cars are assembled in the United States,
a lot of the parts and components for some car
companies are made elsewhere. A lot a Ford product, I

(23:01):
mean a lot is made in factories either in Canada, Mexico,
or China, one of those three. So I thought this
morning as I was reading this, I was like, you
know what, what is the most American made car? You
know you can do that.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
There's a website I think it's called American Maid. That's
not where I went.

Speaker 4 (23:19):
I went somewhere else and it took me to these
trucks that I put on the blog today. I was
kind of surprised to find out that the cars that
are I would say the most American made, meaning they
are assembled in the United States and an overwhelming majority
of their parts and components are also made in the
United States. What brand do you think Grant would be

(23:40):
the most American made cars? Not necessarily all the lines,
but you know, Chevy, you would be totally wrong.

Speaker 5 (23:49):
It would be Honda.

Speaker 7 (23:51):
Really not even Japanese company, correct.

Speaker 5 (23:55):
So Chuck's Chuck Drisa Tundra. I love that truck.

Speaker 4 (23:58):
By the way, if you're looking for a truck, a
toy Potochondra is amazing, especially the crew cab, super comfortable.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
For my whole family, we all have long legs.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
This is not a sponsored ad, but he has a
Tundra and it's one of the most American built trucks
is the Toyota Candra because it's built in Alabama, and
most of the components are in the United States. But
Honda makes Accura and Honda, and they have plants in
Mary's Bill, East Liberty, and they have Mary's Miville in

(24:26):
East Liberty, Ohio. And then they have Honda Manufacturing of
Indiana and Honda Manufacturing of Alabama. And when the least
amount of components that are made in the United States
is sixty percent, so sixty percent of the Integra, those
parts are made in the US, and the Civic and
the CRV everything else is higher than that in terms

(24:48):
of percentage of parts made in the United States of America,
with the Honda Passport being seventy five percent made here
in the US. It's fascinating when you start digging down
on this stuff because to so the point grant Ford
Motor Company, now.

Speaker 5 (25:03):
They have a lot of assembly plants here.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
They have them in Michigan, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio. And
the highest number of US made components is forty seven
percent in the Lincoln Coursair. That's the Oh no, I'm sorry,
the Mustang. Sixty percent of the Mustang's parts are made
in the United States. The rest of them are probably,

(25:29):
i'd say average thirty percent.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
That's mind blowing to me.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Well, now they still make the parts right, Ford still
makes the parts at a Ford factory in Canada, Mexico,
or China. So they're going to get killed on that
tariff bringing their parts in. Even though they an American
company make them, they make them.

Speaker 6 (25:48):
Somewhere else, which is why they reached out to Trump
and got a delay on these tariffs.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Now General Motors is a little bit better. They're their
percentages are kind of all over the place, the highest
being the Cadillac Lyric Sixty two percent of those parts
are made here, but they're in the high thirties forties
that you know area. But Stilantis, which is Dodge Cheap
and Ram, even though it's headquartered in the Netherlands, a

(26:15):
lot of their cars are made in the United States
as well, but not as high as Honda. Honda has
the highest number. So it's really interesting when we think
of American car brands and American car makers, but the
reality is that cars are just assembled here for the
most part, and.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Those cars all source parts from all over the world.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
So it's it's that kind of manufacturing that I think
Trump is trying to restart. I think one of the
interesting points that he made in that speech the other
night was when he talked about the fact that we
don't have the underlying manufacturing capacity for steel and for
aluminum and for these things to do the kinds of

(26:57):
things in our defense like build ships.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
And I think he's right about that.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
I mean, if we if we are entirely reliant on
Chinese steel and then we go to war with China,
what does that do. And it's not like you can,
you know, just flip the switch on a steel mill
and just crank it back up. So I think there's
things that we need to be concerned about. I mean,
think about what we went through in COVID in terms
of being able to get medications, remember the generic medication shortage,

(27:25):
because all of those.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
Pills are made in China.

Speaker 9 (27:27):
So it's.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
A valid concern. I'm hoping it works out. It may
or may not. We'll see, we'll all see together.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
All the way. All of these charts, by the way,
are invented on the blog at Mandy's blog dot com.
If you want to see it, you can check it
out there. I want to talk about the EU for
just a moment. If nothing else. Trump has their attention
and they seem to be springing into action.

Speaker 5 (27:51):
We'll do that next.

Speaker 4 (27:53):
Let's talk about what's happening in Europe right now. Today's
going to be a fast and furious day. We've got
Gary and Brad from Bell and Pollock coming up.

Speaker 5 (27:59):
At one o'clock.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
We're playing an hour of aff the Personal Injury Attorneys.
Because I love hearing other people's problems. Mostly I love
hearing solutions to them, but I love hearing about other
people's problems. So that's coming up at one. In the meantime, though, Grant,
I have a question for you. Has there ever been
a more pretentious name than European Commissioned President Ersla vonder

(28:20):
Layan Ivondo Layan. Hey, I'm Ursla?

Speaker 7 (28:29):
Oh does she?

Speaker 9 (28:29):
And what do you?

Speaker 5 (28:30):
How do you introduce yourself?

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Vonder Layanursla vonder Layan.

Speaker 7 (28:35):
That doctor you had and yesterday should have a name
like that.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
There you ac exactly.

Speaker 7 (28:39):
I could listen to him talk about anything.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Why do you think I had him on the topic. Interesting,
But you can get an Irish guy on the show
whenever I can. Just a thing, So back to something serious.
The EU right now, today, right this minute, well maybe
not right this minute, maybe happened earlier today, European Union
leaders met and had a closed door meeting, and according
to the AP, European Union leaders have failed to reach

(29:04):
consensus on a common stance in defense of Ukraine at
its war against Russia. A statement was signed off among
twenty six EU members, with a loan member state out.
Hungary has long been a holdout in previous attempts to
reach consensus. The EU says it wants to back Ukraine
with funds and military material so it can negotiate from

(29:27):
a position of strength. Hungary says such measures would only
extend the war. So the European Union is in a
tizzy right now. They're freaking out, completely freaking out, because
all of a sudden, we the United States of America,
who they've always been able to count on to jump

(29:47):
in wherever necessary, no matter what it causes. Hey, you guys,
we got this. We're the friend who always picks up
the check, right, Except now we're broke, and nobody ever
has to pick up the check for us. Nobody ever says, no,
let me get you. I know you've been going through
a hard time. I know you with some people some money.
I got you, I got this.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
They never do that. So right now, what's happening in
the European Union is this.

Speaker 4 (30:11):
They're all freak it out because they realize that all
of a sudden they are vulnerable because we have a
president who's like, hey, you know what, why don't you
guys follow up to your commitments and spend the amount
of money that you're supposed to be spending on your
own defense, which you haven't done for like sixty years.
And Europe for the first time is like, oh crap,

(30:32):
I think they mean it.

Speaker 9 (30:33):
This is for real.

Speaker 5 (30:34):
He's not kidding.

Speaker 4 (30:36):
So now there's this glory of activity and all of
these commitments to essentially allow Europe to go into deficit
debt itself, because to be a part of the European Union,
you're supposed to not be able to run deficits beyond
a certain limit and for a certain period of time.
They're very strict because they already had to bail out Greece,
and they don't want everybody else to fail. So they're

(30:56):
talking about lifting those limits that would allow the Europeans
to expand their defense spending without cutting their social spending
at home. Because essentially, since World War Two, every taxpayer
in the United States of America has subsidized the NHS
in the UK, other healthcare benefits, generous vacation benefits, all

(31:18):
of that stuff. Because what they're using that money for
is there people where we're using our money.

Speaker 5 (31:23):
To pay to protect them.

Speaker 4 (31:25):
And it sounds heartless and horrible, but that's the reality
of what's been going on. We've been subsidizing Europe and
their lifestyles since World War Two, and we finally have
a president that's like, you know, I don't think we're
gonna do that anymore because you guys are not following
through with a little bit that we asked you to do.
So now they're doing it because they have no choice.

(31:46):
I love one sentence from this article. It really really
really stuck out, and it was by the aforementioned EU
Commissioner er Slavon Delayin. She said, a new.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
Era is upon us.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Some of our fundamental assumptions are being undermined to their
very core. Now I think what she means is that
the assumption that the United States would always have their
back because we are, you know, great partners and great allies.
But what she really means is the fundamental assumption that
someone else was going to do the heavy lifting when
it came to keeping bad actors in check. Yeah, that

(32:24):
probably needs to shift, and I welcome more input. By
the way, the more independent Europe gets from our influence
when it comes to things like defense, the less influence
we have over them.

Speaker 5 (32:38):
And frankly, I'm okay with it. I'm okay with it.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
When we get back, we've got Gary and Brad from
Bell and Pollock. We're playing an hour of Ask the Lawyer,
because I want to hear your personal injury questions.

Speaker 2 (32:51):
I have too.

Speaker 5 (32:53):
I'm going to ask them if I consume.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
My neighbors if they don't clear their sidewalk and I
fall invest my butt, and then I have a medical
malpractice question as well. It's gonna be a great hour,
super interesting. I love this stuff, so we're gonna do
that when we get back. Keep it right here on KOA.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
The Mandy Connall Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock,
Accident and Injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Well, no, it's Mandy Connell.

Speaker 4 (33:17):
Andy ConA.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Koam got Waitty Canny Frey, Andy Connell keeping sad bab
local local.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Welcome to the second hour of the show. And you
may be confused when you hear these next two voices.
You might think to yourself, Wait, those gentlemen are on
Saturday morning when I'm running errands. That's what I listen
to the Bell and Pollock Personal Injury Show, and I
say it all the time.

Speaker 5 (33:50):
Every time I.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
Listen, I learn something new and it makes me feel
a little dumber but then a little smarter by the
end of the show. Joining me in the studio now
from Bell and Pollock, I've got Bell and Brad Pollock.

Speaker 12 (34:02):
Hello, Mandy, how you.

Speaker 7 (34:03):
Doing, Hello Manday's time to do legal rock and roll.
Let's get going here.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
Well, I told you, guys, I love hearing other people's problems.
I know that sounds weird, but I find it fascinating
the things that happen in society on a regular basis
that you don't necessarily think about.

Speaker 7 (34:18):
You guys have been doing this for how long we've
been doing the show twenty five thirty years now, So
do you know the.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
Weirdest case you've ever had. Do you have one that
springs forth when you go, wow, that was a doozy?

Speaker 7 (34:29):
Yeah, we have several. But you know, speaking of that,
we had a great call on our show a while back,
and the guy says, I am so mad at my neighbor.
He lived in eastern Colorado out on the plains. I'm
so mad at my neighbor because so what's the problem. Well,
he put a beehive on the fins next to my property.
Well it's on his property, and so can you guys
do anything about it? And what are the rights? So

(34:51):
that was pretty wild and what I mean?

Speaker 4 (34:53):
But what happens then? Do you have the right to
tell somebody to move their beehive?

Speaker 7 (34:56):
Yeah, that's great because I know that you're you are
a big proper the owner person. So yeah, so are
we Okay, So you can use your property, you just
can't create a nuisance, okay. And so then but and
then the argument is, well, that's my property. I can
do what I want, but you can't create a nuisance.
Like if you had water overflowing or or something like
that would be anisance. The other thing was that on

(35:17):
this case he had plenty of places to put it
down the fence away from the guys.

Speaker 5 (35:22):
He was just mena Jersey.

Speaker 7 (35:23):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
Well, I want to open the phone lines to anyone
who has any kind of situation where they have been wronged,
they have been harmed by the negligence of someone else.
If you if you've been in that situation and you
have a question, and I will tell you guys that
in the past, when I have done these on various shows,
various markets, it's a lot of people who call and say,
should I have called an attorney?

Speaker 13 (35:47):
Right?

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Should I have called? I think, why don't people just
pick up the phone and ask the questions? Let me
get the phone over out three O three seven one
three eighty five eighty five.

Speaker 5 (35:56):
That's seven.

Speaker 4 (35:57):
Let me try that again, three O three seven to
one three eighty five eighty five, and Grant.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Will screen your call in just a second.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
I mean, how often do you think people just don't
make the call or they don't investigate, and they end
up getting shorted.

Speaker 14 (36:11):
That's the problem. A lot of times people don't call
when they should call. The call is free, there's no
reason not to call. Get some initial advice, figure out
what you want to do, and you get people that
don't make the call when they should. And I'd say
fifty percent of the calls I get that are late
is just because somebody was afraid to pick up the
phone and.

Speaker 12 (36:30):
Talk to their lawyer.

Speaker 4 (36:31):
As a daughter of an attorney, I mean from the
time I was five years old, I think I knew
in any situation, even if everything is perfectly fine and
everything's going your way, you better have somebody there because
you don't know what they know you know in any situation.
So I have a couple questions for you guys that
I want to get answered to, and one of them
is this. So I know I am not alone in

(36:51):
asking this question here in the Great Metro. But after
it snows in my neighborhood, there are sidewalks around some houses.
Not all houses, the sidewalks in every part, but some
Most people, a vast majority of people in this neighborhood,
they all do the right thing. They shovel their sidewalks.
The only reason this matters is because when they plow
the road, it creates this huge mountain of snow between

(37:13):
the street and the sidewalks. So if they don't shovel
their sidewalks, then you have the choice of walking through
sometimes really deep snow or even worse, it gets packed
down and it gets turns into ice. And it's not
only inconvenient, it is like, I mean, I have a
Saint Bernard, so anything could go wrong at any time
when I'm walking my dog. What responsibilities and what repercussions

(37:34):
if I fall and kill myself on their sidewalk? What
is there.

Speaker 9 (37:41):
There?

Speaker 5 (37:41):
What do they have to be responsible for?

Speaker 7 (37:43):
Okay, I'm gonna ask for a part of and then
you're gonna catch the common law part of it. Listen,
you live in Douglas County. There's an ordnance in Douglas
County called the Snow and Ice Ordinance Number zero zero
seven zero zero three. Okay, what does it say? It
says property owners are directly respond for clearing sidewalks bordering
their property. They can hire it out, but they're ultimately responsible.

Speaker 12 (38:06):
Okay.

Speaker 7 (38:06):
It also says, what's the time frame? When do you
have to do this? Right when it s nos? The
ordinance says snow and ice both must be removed within
twenty four hours after the snow stops falling. Okay, that's
the time frame, and then should should they shovel the
snow on the street. No, the order says you got
to put it on your lawn.

Speaker 5 (38:24):
Well, that makes sense. It also waters your line.

Speaker 7 (38:26):
Exactly, so, so that's the ordinance part. That's what we
call lawyers call the statutory part. Brad's going to explain
to you what the property liability common law statute is
for the duty and responsibility if you don't comply.

Speaker 12 (38:39):
Well, it's pretty simple.

Speaker 14 (38:41):
If you've not exercised reasonable care and taken care of
your property, you're going to be responsible for injuries that
are caused by your failure to exercise that reasonable care.
One of the things you have to do in reasonable
care is remove the snow and ice from your sidewalks.
Probably should be careful because you probably want to remove
it from the driveway.

Speaker 12 (39:00):
Also, that was a follow up question.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
I got to this. A delivery driver said, I'm delivering
huge boxes. Are people responsible if I fall and you
wipe out in their driveway that has not shoveled.

Speaker 14 (39:12):
Right, Well, if they've had twenty four hours it has
been snowing. Under law and even under the common law,
especially if they're ordering those packages, they're having people come
to their property.

Speaker 12 (39:24):
You've got to make your property safe for people.

Speaker 14 (39:26):
And the bottom line is is get the snow shoveled,
get the ice melt out, take care of your sidewalk,
take care of your driveway, and avoid the problem.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
Okay, so I'm just gonna leave a little note. I'm
gonna start leaving little post it notes on people's doors.
There's a tiny handful of people that does this, right,
but boy, it makes it awful and dangerous and not
fun to be out there. And some of us we
got it.

Speaker 5 (39:49):
I gotta walk my dog.

Speaker 7 (39:50):
You just said the keyword in the statue, dangerous, dangerous condition.
That's what it causes. But boy, would I love to
cross exam in one of those neighbors that doesn't do this.
That would be so easy to do. Okay, Suppose this
neighbor didn't clean his driveway and he says, well, the
Organs doesn't say driveway, it says sidebark, mister Bell, right, Well,
I would find out immediately how many packages you've had

(40:10):
delivered in the last year through your driveway, and then
then I had on you.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
Okay, So I'm glad I asked this question. I am
now armed to the teeth with the information that I need.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (40:21):
Very much.

Speaker 5 (40:21):
But I have callers on the line who want to
join the party.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
So let me go to Jeff.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
You are on with Gary and Brad from Bell and Pollock.

Speaker 14 (40:30):
Hi.

Speaker 9 (40:30):
I have a question pertaining to a dog.

Speaker 7 (40:34):
A dog fight, a dog fight?

Speaker 5 (40:37):
Oh bite? Okay?

Speaker 13 (40:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (40:39):
So if somebody has a dog that's on a path
and they let that dog bite you, what are the
recall or what are the actions that can be taken
for that?

Speaker 7 (40:53):
All right, I'm going to give you the first part. Brad,
I'll give you the second part. Thanks for the question. Uh,
the laws change in Colorado. It used to be this
old adage of every dog gets his first bite. That
was the old adage. That's kind of comical, sometimes not
so comical. But that change and they passed the statute
eight nine ten years ago that says their strict liability

(41:13):
for dog bites. What does that mean to you? That
means if they let their dog go, or they don't
let their dog go, and or if their bite dog
bites you for any reason whatsoever, whether he's had a
dog bite before, whether he was considered dangerous before, it
doesn't matter. It's strict liability and they owe you automatically
for all your medical bills. Now that doesn't cover the

(41:34):
rest of your damages, but for all your medical bills,
and I've seen some of them fifty sixty thousand dollars
of face repair on dog bites. But rather the rest
of the damages are recoverable.

Speaker 14 (41:43):
Sure that statue to CRS thirteen twenty four, and it's
it's very simple.

Speaker 12 (41:49):
The dog owner is automatically liable.

Speaker 14 (41:52):
Whether or not the owner is negligent and caring for
the dog, or whether or not the dog he has
ever shown signs of aggression, They're going to be liable, period.
They got the responsibility. Now that liability under the statute
is for the expense of taking care of the dog bite.
Obviously there's times when you have more than the expense
of taking care of the dog bites.

Speaker 12 (42:14):
The emotional problems this can cause.

Speaker 14 (42:15):
If it's a young child, it can cause a whole
lot of emotional problems for the child.

Speaker 12 (42:20):
Then they start looking into a little bit more.

Speaker 14 (42:22):
Did you know the dog had dangers to propensities were
you're not properly taking care of the dog, or where
you're not properly kenneling the dog when you had people over,
did you get any any kind of training for the dog.
Did you get any kind of disciplinary actions with the
dog so that you could control the dog? And that's
when you start getting into even greater damages that you're

(42:42):
going to be responsible for as the owner or as
the person on the property who you're responsible for that dog.

Speaker 7 (42:50):
I'm so sorry. One more point. So medical bills are
strict liability. You get them, you should get them, and
they pay the rest of your damages. You have to
prove and you have to go out of see in
the ordinary way. Gotcha?

Speaker 4 (43:03):
All right, Jeff? Does that help?

Speaker 7 (43:04):
Thank you very much?

Speaker 2 (43:05):
Thank you.

Speaker 4 (43:07):
Let me go to John.

Speaker 5 (43:08):
You're on with Gary and Brad from Bell and Pollock.

Speaker 10 (43:12):
Hey, guys, thank you so much for letting to say that.
I had the opportunity to have the gentlemen as lawyers,
but I got dropped from them because I refused to
do a needle test. I was definitely afraid of needles,
and which was the test was going to be done

(43:32):
during surgery anyway, so.

Speaker 9 (43:33):
I eventually had to test out, but they dropped me
as a client.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Because John, I'm going to say this, I would prefer
you take this up with them at their office because
I can't verify anything that you're saying right now, and
they're both sitting here looking at me and shaking their heads.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
Everybody know. Just letting everybody know how that would be.

Speaker 4 (43:51):
You know, guys, Sometimes and this is my responsibility here,
people will call up that are not necessarily engaged with
the with the people on the show and try to
say something that's negative and we don't have any way
of verifying that. And I hope he does call with
you guys and follows it up with you guys. Anyway,
glad to take the car? Yeah, three oh three seven one,

(44:14):
three eighty five eighty five Bill you're on with Gary
Brad from Bell and Pollock.

Speaker 15 (44:20):
Hey, guys, Mandy's honor. I have a I bought a
twenty two ionics five from Handey and the car broke
down and it was in the shop total for almost
a year, like literally eleven and a half months. I'm
a ten ninety nine client, I'm a taxi driver and

(44:41):
I bought the.

Speaker 10 (44:41):
Car to be an owner operator.

Speaker 15 (44:45):
During that time, I lost over thirty thousand dollars. And
all had I told you was we gave you a honor.
They wouldn't honor the meeting lemonhav business business.

Speaker 5 (44:58):
Wait, is that accurate?

Speaker 11 (44:59):
So lemon law?

Speaker 4 (45:00):
Lemon laws don't apply to businesses when they buy a vehicle.

Speaker 14 (45:03):
It's usually to consumers who buy a new vehicle where
the lemon law applies. They will fight you to say
that they're not responsible under the lemon law for a
business operation or a business endeavor where you're losing money. However,
there are other ways to go after him. And the
other ways to go after him are to hold them

(45:23):
responsible with it. But they have to have the knowledge
that that's what you intend to use the vehicle for,
and they have to be selling it to you for
that purpose for you to be using the vehicle as
a commercial vehicle.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
And did they know that?

Speaker 6 (45:35):
Bill?

Speaker 15 (45:37):
I did mention it to the guy when I was buying.

Speaker 13 (45:40):
It to the salesman.

Speaker 15 (45:41):
I don't know if you mentioned it to the finance guide,
but I did mention it to the salesman.

Speaker 7 (45:45):
Okay, Well for my take. You know a lot of
people talk about the lemon law. We got the lemon law.

Speaker 11 (45:50):
Wow.

Speaker 7 (45:51):
Sometimes you don't want to be subject to the lemon
law because you got to take it back a number
of times. You have to give them a fair opportunity
to repair and I've seen that not work out more
than i've seen it work out. But back to your issue,
So if the limit law doesn't apply, what you know,
what what representations were made by you them? And this

(46:11):
would this would involve a little bit of consultation with
you to go over because if you bought it for
specific purposes or purpose, there's implied warranties that need to
be explored. Implied warranty for fitness of a particular purpose,
implied implied warranty and merchant ability, et cetera, et cetera.
So it's hard to just give you a black and
white answer. I'd be glad to be glad to help you.

(46:34):
But if they misrepresented or if they knew the purpose
you were using the vehicle for and it didn't work
out and it was known, you can't be secret. If
it was known, then I think you got remedies as
bread sad.

Speaker 4 (46:47):
Maybe follow up with them in their office.

Speaker 15 (46:50):
That's other plan that other lawyers tell me it's a
winnable case, but it takes too long.

Speaker 12 (46:56):
Well what do they mean by it takes too long?

Speaker 14 (46:58):
I mean you know a lot of things about but
lawyers wanting to get cases done fast. Sometimes getting case
done fast isn't what you need. Sometimes you need to
make sure you do the right job and you approach
it correctly.

Speaker 12 (47:11):
So I don't know why they say it takes too long.

Speaker 14 (47:13):
I think I think you got to sit down with
some lawyers who have the willingness to stick it out
for you.

Speaker 15 (47:20):
I would love a consultation.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
All right, give me a call there, Thank you very much.
Okay Roberts, you're a McGerry and Brad from Dell and Pollock.

Speaker 5 (47:29):
What's your question?

Speaker 13 (47:32):
Yes, a underage driver that lives down the street took
his mom's suburban and hit three of my vehicles, and
I recently got a judgment or approximately seventeen thousand dollars.
The question is, and the owner of the car was
the mother's boyfriend. So I'm wondering the fifteen year old.

(47:57):
I don't think he's going to have a job forever.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Uh what do I do?

Speaker 13 (48:03):
Is there any legal recourse? Do I have to get
a lawyer to sue the parents or the owner of
the vehicle? I guess that's basically it.

Speaker 7 (48:11):
Let me ask you a couple of questions and then
Brad can start flying over here. Legally. Uh, you said
you got a judgment? You use that word. Did you
go to court and get a judgment? Yes, against the minor?

Speaker 13 (48:24):
Yes, you're the only one charged.

Speaker 12 (48:26):
In state court, in criminal court?

Speaker 7 (48:28):
Carry oh, I was always in. It was a bit.

Speaker 12 (48:31):
It was restitution that you got, wasn't it right?

Speaker 3 (48:33):
Yes?

Speaker 7 (48:34):
Okay, don't you haven't sued in civil court anybody?

Speaker 11 (48:38):
No?

Speaker 7 (48:38):
Okay, Well, if you did, we'll be glad to consult
with you. But if you did what you have to
do and you avoid a bunch of the legal mumble
John Jumbill called race ju da kata and collateral stopp well,
all that means this, you have to bring all your
claims that you're ever going to bring. I guess everybody
you're ever going to bring them. And so if you
sued the minor but you didn't sue the parents, assuming

(49:00):
the parents meet the test, which is another conversation, then
you're not doing yourself justice. So that's the civiliability of it.
So don't just walk down to the courthouse finally complaining
against just one of them. Investigate it and before you
do that, because you can lose rights when you do.
That sounds weird, crazy, but the way it is, Brad,
can you.

Speaker 12 (49:19):
Sue a kid, Well, it's probably not going to do
any good.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
Can you even do that? We can't hold you know,
miners responsible for contracts, so can they be sued?

Speaker 5 (49:29):
They can be found liable in that case.

Speaker 7 (49:31):
Absolutely.

Speaker 14 (49:32):
In this case, yes, you have a judgment against the
kid for restitution. That doesn't include a number of other
elements of damages that you're entitled to. That's probably just
the amount necessary to fix the vehicle or your cars.

Speaker 12 (49:48):
Yeah, that's exactly it.

Speaker 14 (49:49):
And it probably doesn't compensate you for the time without
the cars, and for any rental cars you're gonna have,
and other expenses you're gonna have.

Speaker 12 (49:57):
That takes going to court.

Speaker 14 (49:58):
This will be a county court action, and to be
an action that you should be able to get a lawyer.
Give us a call at our office. We'll talk to
you about it.

Speaker 12 (50:07):
It's something you can do to go against the parents.

Speaker 14 (50:11):
You start looking at who had the responsibility to watch
over that vehicle, who had the responsibility to make sure
it was safely tucked away in the driveway or in
the garage or along the curb. And you weren't going
to have an agurus driver drive it.

Speaker 7 (50:25):
Maybe mother's boyfriends should come into the picture. HEROD, let's
get it going on that.

Speaker 5 (50:29):
But I'm sure he was thrilled that his vehicle was used,
really really thrill or.

Speaker 7 (50:34):
But let me tell you one thing. You might already
have the most powerful remedy because you've got restitution. What
does that mean if you stood in civil courts, you
have to go through a trial, all that stuff, you
got to get a judgment, but you've got an order
of court granting you restitution. So if anybody violates the order,
then they're in contempt of court. So you can wait,

(50:55):
and I guess you can wait, but you can wait
till a little bit longer, till you get your job, okay,
because that order is not going away. It's right there.
And it's easier for lawyers to say, you've got to order.
Of course you have to comply, other than I'm going
to sue you. We do both, but it's just easier
when you've got an order already there.

Speaker 4 (51:13):
Right, Is there any way to hold anybody else responsible
for that restitution order? But it's court orders to the kid?
I mean, because let's be real, kid's fifteen years old.
He's right this kid's not going to have a job
that pays well for I mean a decade if that, right,
So that seems like a silly, silly thing.

Speaker 5 (51:31):
I guess there's no other way to do it, though,
is there.

Speaker 7 (51:34):
Look, look, you haven't done a civil action yet, so
you can make a claim against the boyfriend's insurance company
and they're going to say, well, we're not responsible.

Speaker 13 (51:42):
What Yeah, he was uninsured unsure.

Speaker 9 (51:49):
Get my vehicles.

Speaker 13 (51:51):
All of my vehicles had liability Insuran. It's really high
liability insurants. They're all paid for.

Speaker 7 (51:57):
And yeah, well listen, I think there's some hope left
on the on the horise in here. We we did
a lot of legal shows called finding Insurance, okay, and
and the the grapham on the bottom line for you
right now is the kid didn't have any insurance, But
and the and the boyfriend didn't have any insurance. But
there's anybody in the household that lives there that might

(52:18):
be related as a resident relative that has insurance? Or
are we just talking about nobody has insurance?

Speaker 13 (52:24):
I I don't know, but I don't believe any of
them had.

Speaker 7 (52:29):
Are you sure that's no insurance? You sure there's no insurance?

Speaker 13 (52:35):
Well, sure, I mean he there was he when the
boyfriend walked up the street with the mom, they had
no proof of insurance. And then I think they found
a card, but it was expired.

Speaker 7 (52:48):
No, no, you haven't heard directly from the insurance company yet.
We could help you do this for free. You you
need to make them on the insurance. No, you make
demand on the insurance company. We got to find out
who it is and let them tell you. And when
we get that answer, a lot they say I'm sorry, sorry,
there's no insurance.

Speaker 9 (53:05):
Prove it.

Speaker 7 (53:05):
Well, here's how you're going to prove it.

Speaker 12 (53:07):
Do you have uninsured and insured motors covered?

Speaker 9 (53:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (53:09):
He said he was.

Speaker 5 (53:10):
He was covered up to the limits.

Speaker 14 (53:12):
So yeah, you have uninsured motors coverage included on your policy.

Speaker 9 (53:15):
Right.

Speaker 7 (53:16):
I think he said they only had liability of coverage.

Speaker 12 (53:18):
That's what I'm trying to find out.

Speaker 13 (53:19):
It was just yeah, just liability.

Speaker 7 (53:23):
Yeah, yeah, no, you I.

Speaker 12 (53:24):
Am okay, all right.

Speaker 14 (53:26):
You know this is one where some pressure asked me
applied against the the boyfriend, against mom exactly. Somebody negligently
supervised that child and didn't take care of what he
was supposed to be doing. Another question is do you
know if the if the fifteen year old had started
driving yet.

Speaker 12 (53:44):
No, okay, so he wasn't on a permitted and.

Speaker 13 (53:48):
Yeah, nothing okay the police. I asked the police about
the insurance from the boyfriend, and the police said, well,
there's no insurance. Uh, so I have no idea how
to find out.

Speaker 7 (54:02):
Yeah, you know, okay, but I have no record. I'm
sorry to interrupt you, but take that with a grain
of salt, because what they usually in police usually means
is they didn't have any proof of insurance and a
lot of accidents people I don't know what main Schorge
card is. Just because they don't have proof doesn't mean
they have They don't have insurance and needs to be pushed, pressed, investigated.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
Come see us, give them a call at their office.
Three oh three seven nine five fifty nine hundred. We're
going to take a quick time out. We're with Gary
and Brad from Bell and Pollock. Gets your injury questions
ready now three O three seven one three eighty five
eighty five back after this. I have some follow up
questions from our icy sidewalk via the text line. If
we can do those real quick and then we'll get

(54:43):
back to calls. Uh, Mandy asks them if home insurance
covers that dog bite if it happens on a trail
or away from your property, if you have a big
liability policy, would that cover something that happened to off
your property with your dog?

Speaker 7 (54:56):
So probably, the answer is probably, and we've done it before. Yes,
and so homeowners need to get the best coverage you can.
But since a strict liability for the medical bills, as
we said, it's gonna pay, there's somebody's gonna pay. It
might as well be the insurance company, all right.

Speaker 4 (55:12):
I have multiple follow ups about the icy driveway. One
of them is I live on two acres in Parker
and my driveway is really long. I shovel the walkway
from the driveway to my house about fifteen feet.

Speaker 5 (55:24):
However, I rarely shovel the driveway. Do I have liability?

Speaker 12 (55:28):
Okay, Ron, I'm gonna, you know, mean something like that.
The idea is, if you have.

Speaker 14 (55:33):
A common house in a common neighborhood where people are
going to be going up and down, and you're gonna
have deliveries into your driveway, or you're gonna have people
that might be using your driveway.

Speaker 12 (55:43):
If you're talking about where you're living.

Speaker 14 (55:45):
The most I would worry about there is shoveling a
path that somebody can walk up your driveway in a
safe and reasonable manner without falling or slipping on ice
or snow, not drive not part, not shoveling the entire driveway.

Speaker 4 (55:59):
So they could file to take that path from their
front door and just zip it out.

Speaker 9 (56:03):
They can.

Speaker 7 (56:04):
But my answer goes, that's a private, private driveway, but
is it used for public like the public sidewalk. So
for example that when we used earlier Mandy was if
you got deliveries, and you might have deliveries, and you
know deliveries are going to come there, then you got
a duty and responsibility. Okay, but if nobody's ever going
to use your driveway up the driveway sure on private property,

(56:26):
you know, probably no requirement whatsoever.

Speaker 12 (56:28):
But if you order from Amazon, shovel the side a
path for the.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
Amazon driver will thank you. All right, Let's go to Jeff. Jeff,
his mom was involved in a car accident. Jeff, you're
on with Carry and Brad from Bell and Pollock.

Speaker 16 (56:41):
Hi, my question is dealing with the insurance companies and
the actual police report that happened for this accident. My
mother che boned a fella who was in a truck
trying to back a trailer across the country road, couldn't
see any lights or anything, and the other person got
sited for improper backing a trailer or something like that. However,

(57:03):
when we went to get satisfaction from the insurance companies,
they both said, oh, yeah, your mom's a fault here too,
and we're like, well, send a thing up the subrogation,
let's get you know, let's get a third party to
rule on this. And they both came back and said, yeah,
even though the other guy was sighted, your mom's still
a fault. And that's just not making much sense to me.

(57:27):
When the other guy was sighted, and you know, my
mom sustained some pretty serious head injuries because their airbags
didn't deploy. And I'm just kind of wondering, you know,
what kind of what can we do here with this
kind of a situation.

Speaker 7 (57:42):
Okay, a couple of questions, and I'll jump all over
for you.

Speaker 16 (57:44):
When did this happen back in October? Last October? Okay,
last year.

Speaker 7 (57:50):
We're losing the war against time, okay, and we'll be
glad to talk to you, glad to meet with you,
there's no charge anything. Here's the deal. This is what
lawyers they never tell you TV or otherwise. But this
is what lawyers call a fact driven machine, a fact
driven circumstances. So what does that mean? That means what
are the actual facts? Because the insurance company are going

(58:12):
to say, they use these fancy words comparative negligence, meaning
your mother was a fault, We're not gonna pay, We're
not gonna pay. No, But what are the facts? And
sometimes you have to get if there's injuries involved, you
have to get engineers to back up the facts. You
have to get engineers to accident reconstruct the accident. But
there's other ways to do it as well. And so
what does the intersection look like?

Speaker 10 (58:33):
What? What does this?

Speaker 7 (58:34):
Backing up a trailer? You can't back up a trailer.
So what are the facts? You understand what I'm saying.
The actual facts have to be investigated. And I'm not
just talking about a casual, you know, cup of coffee conversation.
I'm talking about in detail.

Speaker 14 (58:47):
Brad, you're taking, well, the guy was backing a trailer
rope across a public road. The cause acid in a
crash stop? It just tell the insurance company. We don't
want to hear it. They need to pay. That's my
add Now, you know, maybe they've got something your mom
was speeding or she should have seen it or whatever.
You know that that's where you need to have an
advocate for you that says that you're not going to

(59:09):
buy that. Of course, the insurance company's going to say
they don't.

Speaker 7 (59:12):
Want to pay.

Speaker 12 (59:13):
Of course, they ain't never want to pay anybody. That's
just the way insurance companies work.

Speaker 7 (59:17):
So I'm going to tell you what we tell our
listeners a lot, okay, and our Saturday morning show us
seven o'clock on kay how and otherwise, sometimes you don't
need a lawyer, and they're kind of surprised when you
say that, but in this case, you need a lawyer
period period.

Speaker 4 (59:34):
Jeff, give them a call tomorrow at the office.

Speaker 7 (59:37):
All right, thank you, very all right, thank you, Jeff.

Speaker 4 (59:39):
I want to get in one more before we have
to take a break here in about two and a
half minutes.

Speaker 5 (59:43):
Andrea, you're on McGary and Brad.

Speaker 7 (59:45):
Hello, Hello, Hi.

Speaker 11 (59:48):
My son took a trip down to Cancun, Mexico in
December of twenty three, and I talked to a couple
of people about it, and they told me it wasn't
worth pursuing, but I thought I'd just call by. He
was visibly ill on the flight, and after the flight
I noticed because a woman took his phone from him

(01:00:09):
while I was talking to him and said he had
thrown up a couple of times. He had passed out
about twice before he actually got out of the terminal.
He had no recollection of being sick or what had happened.
And the reason I know that the flight attent knew
he was sick is the next day, when he was
leaving with my husband, the flight attendant ran up to

(01:00:32):
him and said, are you okay? You were really bad yesterday.
And so I'm just wondering, are they supposed to get
medical attention for somebody who's visibly ill on the aircraft
during flight when he arrived.

Speaker 12 (01:00:46):
They sure should be doing something.

Speaker 14 (01:00:48):
It's crucial to inform the flight attendants or make sure
they know and they can provide some assistance based on symptoms.

Speaker 4 (01:00:55):
Can I speak as a former flight attendant on the
one let me just say this, and I'm not trying
to disparage yourself, but a flight out of cancuon a
young man vomiting on that flight is not unusual because
there was probably a lot of alcohol consumed. I'm not again,
I don't know what your son, but that is not
an uncommon situation. Similarly, out of Las Vegas, if we
had medical attention for every purposon who threw up flying

(01:01:16):
out of Las Vegas on a six am flight, it
would be NonStop ambulances wherever they landed.

Speaker 14 (01:01:20):
And that's where they have to assess the symptoms and
decide whether or not they think those are something out
of the ordinary or if it's something they see every day,
based on what's going on, who the person is, and
what's been happening.

Speaker 11 (01:01:30):
Right, and makes it as to that he has a
VP shunt in his head. And I am sure that
it was a malfunction because it was an early morning
flight to Philly and then from Philly to Cancoon. This
kid does not drink when he's traveling, so he was
just arriving there to meet something.

Speaker 5 (01:01:49):
Oh, he was arriving in Cancun.

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
I apologize he was a riving and he kills me.

Speaker 11 (01:01:54):
He has zero memory of getting on the flight in
Philadelphia and zero wreck colection of Actually, there's nothing between
getting off the flight and talking to me in the
hospital in Cancuns. And the flight of tenant recognized him
the next day in the terminal when he was with
his father, who flew down that night at midnight to

(01:02:15):
bring him home, and said, man, are you okay? You
were really bad? And so why didn't think I was
on the phone with the people at the Kancun airport,
I said, my son is in there somewhere. He needs attention.
Please find him, please, and nobody can find him. He
had managed to get himself in a taxi has no

(01:02:36):
memory of any of this. So when your son's malfunctions,
are you guys familiar with VP shunt brain? Yeah, and
when the pressure goes up, you can get very sick
really quickly, have no memory, be very nauseous, throw up,
and you can even pass out. And these are all
things that happened to him in the terminal. And yeah,

(01:03:00):
the flight attendant recognizing him, you know, is just wondering
if I have your recourse with the airline. So if
he was sick on the aircraft, can we.

Speaker 4 (01:03:08):
Get the answer. I have to let you go only
because I have to take a break. We'll get the
answer on the other side. All right, we will be
right back for our prior caller who was looking for
some maybe some recourse from an airline because she felt
like the flight attendants were not responsive enough he were
a son who was ill.

Speaker 14 (01:03:25):
Sure, the first steps I'd take is I would go
get in touch with the doctor who put the shunt
in or was managing the shunt, and sit down with
the doctor, talk about what happened to the sun, talk
about the symptoms the sun had, talk about what might
be his problem is see if the doctor believes that
this is the result of something that the airlines did
wrong or that the flight attendant did wrong. It doesn't

(01:03:48):
sound like the flight attendant did anything wrong. So the
question is was the cabin properly pressurized? Sounds like it was.
Doesn't sound like there's a lot of complaint there. But
the first step is going to the medical profession in
finding out whether or not the symptoms that her son
had are something that can come from being on that flight.

Speaker 7 (01:04:08):
Well, the other thing I say is, you know, everybody
should have personal responsibility, and in this situation, the young
man should have personal responsibility if he or the mother
knows about a condition that reacts to pressure reacts to flying,
then they should disclose that or not are not fly.
That's not necessarily automatically the airlines flight fault, and I

(01:04:28):
don't really see it. Look, airlines fly people from point
A to point B. They're not emergency rooms. They're not hospitals.
And God bless the flight to gendants. They do a
great job. They've got emergency kits on board and they
do the best they can. But they're not emergency rooms.
So if the patient knows they have a condition, it

(01:04:49):
should be disclosed. And I have seen people that are
dying of cancer said I'm not going to tell anybody.
I gotta get on this. I got to go from
back home to Cleveland or to New York, so I'm
not going to tell anybody. Well, that's not the air
line's fault. The other thing I would tell the mom
is you talked to the doctor about the word causation.

Speaker 12 (01:05:07):
And what does that mean?

Speaker 7 (01:05:08):
In legal mumble jumbal it means did what's the airline
do or not do? Or what happened on the flight?
Did it cause anything that wasn't gonna happen anyway? Did
it cause something different? And remember, they almost have no
duty in this situation. That being said, I know flight
attendants that are very professional. They tell the pilots. Sometimes

(01:05:30):
pilots radio ahead right, they get instructions, They do the
best they can. They're not doctors. And I just don't
I don't see it, but I wouldn't stop looking for lawyers.

Speaker 4 (01:05:40):
Ma'am, all right, we are going to talk to Tom.
This is probably our last one. We only have a
few minutes left. Tom, quickly, you're on with Bell and Pollock.

Speaker 5 (01:05:47):
What happened?

Speaker 9 (01:05:49):
Sure, good gentlemen.

Speaker 17 (01:05:50):
On January twenty first, I was picking up a passenger
at the height on Fourteenth Place in Denver. Gentlemen happened
to be using a wheelchair. When I picked him up,
I let him into the help him get into the backseat,
and I was putting his wheelchair in the back of
my hatch. When doing so, his wheelchair kind of slid

(01:06:13):
out and nailed me hard in the thumb. I had
not yet on the apps started the fair itself, but
I was in the process of picking up the gentleman
he was assigned to me. I was able to get
him to his destination and complete the fare that way.
Addictive over their response team a call letting him know

(01:06:36):
I was injured in the process of transporting the customer.
I did speak to Progressive, who happened to be their
accident insure and at that time also my personal auto insurre,
and on both sides they told me that neither the

(01:06:58):
insurance from the Uber side was going to going to
the doctor. I wound up going to use your urgent
here and wound up getting a bill for three hundred
and twenty five dollars on my own. At that time
when I had Progressive, I did have the Uber ride Share.

Speaker 2 (01:07:18):
Amend.

Speaker 17 (01:07:18):
I'm the writer on there in case.

Speaker 9 (01:07:20):
That something wants to happen.

Speaker 4 (01:07:23):
So real quick, because we're out of time, Tom, I'm
just gonna ask does who does he go after?

Speaker 14 (01:07:27):
Here?

Speaker 5 (01:07:27):
Guys, which insurance company?

Speaker 7 (01:07:31):
Okay, so you make the claim. I don't think they're
going to cover it, be honest with you, unless you
prove there was some defect in the wheelchair. I it
was a normal operating wheelchair. I don't think they're going
to cover it. They have to look for somebody's negligence
or breach of a duty. And if the guy that
owns the wheelchair doesn't have a defective wheelchair, I just
don't think they're I don't think they're going to cover it.

Speaker 12 (01:07:51):
You need to call me. We can talk about a claim.

Speaker 7 (01:07:54):
Uber.

Speaker 14 (01:07:54):
Quite often these instances will send it to mandatory arbitration
and give you a chance at proving your case and arbitration. Uh,
it's longer than what we have a chance to talk
to you today about. But call the office, talk to me,
and we'll see what we can do to get you
set up to get access to making a queen.

Speaker 4 (01:08:11):
All right, guys, Tom, I hope that helps. I have
five and or more questions on the text line. I
have three people hanging online right now. All of these things.
This is the kind of stuff you talk about on
both shows. When is your show on k hell?

Speaker 5 (01:08:24):

I'm just hanging on. I'm gonna send a text really quick, Hay, Steve,
just reminding you of our interview in thirty minutes period.

Speaker 5 (01:09:46):
We'll call you exclamation point.

Speaker 4 (01:09:49):
You ever know anybody who's kind of like the nutty professor,
kind of the absent minded, distracted, that's Steve Moore. Dude
is brilliant, but struggles to do basic things like remember
where he's supposed to be and pick up the phone
where we call him.

Speaker 5 (01:10:04):
In half an hour.

Speaker 4 (01:10:05):
We're gonna talk to him. He's part of the Trump
Economic Advisory team, but he is also a super super
super free market guys. So we're gonna have a conversation
about tariffs and what those tariffs might look like on
the blog today.

Speaker 5 (01:10:18):
Have I went down a tariff rabbit hole and just
found out did some.

Speaker 4 (01:10:23):
Investigating into three American car brands because three companies actually
that own all of the big American car brands were
given a special dispensation by Donald Trump when it comes
to the tariffs on parts from China, Mexico and Canada.
And I did a little digging about what percentage of

(01:10:44):
cars and their parts are made in the United States
of America.

Speaker 5 (01:10:47):
Super interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:10:48):
I put all those graphs on the blog today and
so you should check that out at mandy'sblog dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:10:53):
It's always good and then sometimes it's even better.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
I also have all the video on the blog today
of Mayor Mike Johnston's appearance on Capitol Hill yesterday. I
have his opening statement that will give you what his
whole vibe was. We also have Representative Gabe Evans questioning
Denver Mayor's and it was good.

Speaker 5 (01:11:13):
It was a scorcher.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
And by the way, Representative Gabe Evans joining us tomorrow
afternoon on the show at two thirty. And then we
have Representative Lauren bobert Uh and then we have Representative
Jim Jordan, and then we have part of Representative Jeff
Crank talking.

Speaker 5 (01:11:27):
To the mayor.

Speaker 4 (01:11:28):
So that is all on the blog today as well.
So this story, did you hear this story about the
boy that was kidnapped seven years ago? Grant and just
a chance like series of events, Yes, So they what
happened was this guy's selling a house in the ranch

(01:11:48):
and he saw somebody on his security cameras and then
realized they walked into his house.

Speaker 5 (01:11:53):
So he called cops.

Speaker 4 (01:11:54):
Cops show up, and they realized that this couple, who
had two kids in the car with them, were actually
holding a child that had been kidnapped seven years ago
by the non custodial mother. His name is Abdullah Ziz Khan,
and he was kidnapped from the Atlanta area, Oh wait,

(01:12:14):
Louisiana in twenty seventeen. And I saw this story and
I got to tell you, I'm so conflicted, because, first
of all, I'm overjoyed for the father who has been
looking for his son for seven years. I cannot, as
a parent imagine if Chuck had taken off with the

(01:12:36):
cue when she was seven years old and I didn't
see her again until she was fourteen. I cannot imagine
being robbed of seven years of my child's life. I
just that is so gut wrenching and so heartbreaking, and
just so incredibly fantastic that this man is now going
to have a chance to rebuild his relationship.

Speaker 5 (01:12:57):
With his son. But on the flip side, this.

Speaker 4 (01:13:01):
This poor boy, his life was ripped apart seven years ago.
But he was only seven years old. So for the
last seven years, God knows what this woman told him.

Speaker 5 (01:13:12):
About his dad.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
Did she tell him his dad was dead or that
his dad didn't.

Speaker 5 (01:13:16):
Want him anymore?

Speaker 4 (01:13:17):
Or what what do you tell a kid that you
that you take when they're seven years old and you're
running away, What are you saying about the dad? By
the way, she was about to lose a custody dispute
in twenty seventeen. So now the father's been reunited with
his son, but it is going to be a bumpy road.

(01:13:38):
For this kid, and you know, say a little prayer
for this family. All of these terrible, awful, horrific decisions
by the mother have now been visited upon the sun.
And that kind of stuff is just to me, incredibly
sad but incredibly happy.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
This story is like it was the best of times,
it was the worst of times, Just a.

Speaker 4 (01:13:59):
Tough situation all the way around by a mom who
just did something that was absolutely horrible. So on occasion,
if you don't follow me on Twitter, you probably should
because on occasion I see things on Twitter and then
I lose my mind.

Speaker 5 (01:14:11):
And that happened yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
And I'm just gonna read the tweet that I saw
from Governor Jared Poulis. It's a whole picture is He's
standing at a podium looking very official, and a series
of headlines, and the headlines say Colorado among states that
could be hardest hit by Trump tariffs on Canadian oil

(01:14:34):
new stealing aluminum tariffs imposed by Trump could impact Colorado's
craft brewers, Colorado agriculture producers, brice for tariff impacts. I'm
governor nervous about tariff endgame. Polus urges Trump not to
impose new tariffs and then he captioned this photo with
the following he actually or someone typed this out on

(01:14:57):
his path.

Speaker 5 (01:14:59):
This is what made me lose my mind.

Speaker 4 (01:15:01):
It says, and there's no like just in case you
were warning, there's no laughing face emoji, there's no winky
face emoji. It just says, in Colorado, we worked a
lower cost, not raise them, and I will continue to
fight for the Colorados and Americans affected by Trump's reckless tariffs.

(01:15:22):
He put that on the internet where people could see it,
where people's property taxes have gone up forty and fifty
percent because they repealed.

Speaker 5 (01:15:35):
An amendment and they didn't fix it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:39):
They just let it kick in so they could then
dole out a minuscule property tax decrease and claim victory.
This is the same guy who has overseen growth of
the regulatory state that has slowed our economy dramatically. This
is the guy that's overseen increases in the minimum wage.

(01:16:00):
He's overseen the growing number of regulations. He's hired what
was it, seventeen thousand new government employees for sixteen different departments.

Speaker 5 (01:16:11):
He has overseen the growth.

Speaker 4 (01:16:13):
Of government in Colorado at a level I don't think
has been seen in a very long time, and he's
going to say with a straight face.

Speaker 5 (01:16:21):
In Colorado, we work to lower costs, not raise them.

Speaker 4 (01:16:26):
Who among us right now, who in my listening audience
has seen their cost of living go down? I will
sit here patiently through the break. I will be looking
for your hands in the air. I bet I've seen
Naria one. We'll be right back. I have a chart
on the blog today that I want to share with you.

(01:16:48):
Inflation in the United States from twenty twenty one to
twenty twenty four state rankings. The Senate Joint Economic Committee
estimates how much more each month were household and each
state was paying in December of twenty twenty four to
purchase the same combination of food, shelter, transport, energy, and
other items that they purchased in January of twenty twenty one.

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
Where are we.

Speaker 4 (01:17:13):
If you guessed at the very top with a whopping
thirteen hundred dollars in twenty nine excuse me, thirteen twenty nine,
thirteen hundred and twenty nine dollars per month. The Colorados
are paying more now, thank god, they're making it affordable.
Can you only imagine we made twenty five hundred bucks

(01:17:34):
a month if the Democrats weren't working so dang hard
to make everything so gang affordable. By the way, at
the other end of the spectrum, Arkansas seven hundred and
ninety one dollars a month. But then you have to
live in Arkansas. Jka, if you're from Arkansas. I got
no beef with Arkansas.

Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
I think I've only been to Little Rock on you've
ever been to Arkansas?

Speaker 9 (01:17:53):
Grant?

Speaker 4 (01:17:54):
I waited till Grant started eating never, and then I
brought him into the show. I've been to Little Rock once.
Are there other cities in Arkansas that we should know about?

Speaker 5 (01:18:04):
Arkansas?

Speaker 16 (01:18:05):
Little Rock?

Speaker 2 (01:18:09):
Eh?

Speaker 7 (01:18:09):
What I mean?

Speaker 5 (01:18:12):
There are other cities in Arkansas?

Speaker 10 (01:18:14):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:18:14):
I mean there are, Uh, there's Hot Springs. That's that's
in Arkansas. Arkansas cities. Hang on, I'm gonna pull them
up right now. Top of major city. You got Little Rock,
you got Fort Smith, you got Fayetteville, you got Springdale,

(01:18:34):
Pine Blood, Benonville that's for.

Speaker 6 (01:18:36):
Walmarts is headquartered the glorious owners of the Broncos where
they make it.

Speaker 4 (01:18:43):
Yeah, and also the location of Dave and Jenny mars On.
Fix a Rupper, No, they're not fixed a Rupper. Wait,
I'm trying to remember what HGTV show they are. Hometown
is Ben and Aaron, Joanne and Ship texa Rupper. Wait
a minute, what are they? Are they fixed?

Speaker 9 (01:19:01):
Right?

Speaker 5 (01:19:01):
No, they're I can't remember what they are now what?

Speaker 4 (01:19:04):
In any case, they're my three favorite shows, along with
Mary to Real Estate with Egypt and her husband whose
name just.

Speaker 7 (01:19:09):
Went right out of my head, gets your ship black? Ready?

Speaker 4 (01:19:11):
Now, I'm not a fan of shiplap. I'm ready for
shiplap to not be a thing. But that's fine. Okay,
So now I don't even know why we were looking
to see why there are cities in Arkansas. Oh, by
the way, they are fixed your upper fix the Repper.

Speaker 7 (01:19:22):
Okay, good.

Speaker 5 (01:19:23):
I love David Jenny in Bentonville moving everybody to the Walmart.

Speaker 4 (01:19:28):
Mandy, I'm from Cabot. I will just Mandy. I hate
to say it because I've actually considered moving there, but Bentonville,
Arkansas is pretty cool and it has an amazing art
gallery that is funded by Walmart. See I'm telling you,
and David Jenny lived there. If I moved to Bentonville,
I would immediately call up and be like, I want
David Jenny to do my house. Take some piece of crap.
Here's one hundred grand, make it beautiful, two hundred grand. Whatever,

(01:19:51):
It's fine, Mandy. Our property taxes went up again this year,
nine hundred dollars. In twenty twenty two, we paid twenty
seven to fifty in property tax is. This year we
had to pay forty six seventy five. How do fixed
income Colorado citizens do this? We can't pull us the
libertarian Well.

Speaker 6 (01:20:11):
When you think about it, the ripple effect of that too,
with the property tax increases my rent? What was this
previous year because the property tax went up for the owners?

Speaker 4 (01:20:20):
Yeah, because in all honesty, if you own a rental property,
you're not gonna you're not gonna come out of pocket
every month for your rental property.

Speaker 5 (01:20:27):
So if your hard costs go up, then rent is
going up as well.

Speaker 4 (01:20:31):
Although rent seemed to have stabilized quite a bit in Denver,
they're definitely not, you know, raging upward upward like they
were for so many years. They're still ridiculously high, crazy,
crazy high fixed sort of fabulous. Thank you Texters, you
guys rock yeah chi fix Yeah. Fixer of Fabulous is
David Jenny and I love their show again there're no

(01:20:53):
been an aera. No, I'm just kidding. I know a
little too much about HTTV. Can I just hear this
sweet story out of Kremlin. This is one of those
stories that is all about living in a small town.
So the former mayor of Kremling is a guy named
Tom Clark. He was mayor for I think sixteen years,

(01:21:14):
and he recently passed away. He was well liked by
the people of Kremlin. Kremling is tiny. It's a very
small little town. And someone found out that his body
was kind of just sitting there because he had no
family to handle final arrangements. So a guy in Kremling
stepped up to do a gofund me and raise money
to get a cremation done for the mayor of Kremling,

(01:21:39):
and then they're going to release his ashes at Kodosha Passes,
which is a place he was very, very fond of.

Speaker 5 (01:21:45):
But this is what small town life is like.

Speaker 4 (01:21:48):
You know, the former mayor dies, doesn't have any family,
and somebody's like, well, we can't let Tom go out
like that.

Speaker 5 (01:21:54):
We're going to take care of it. By the way,
I just looked at there go fund me.

Speaker 4 (01:21:57):
They were trying to raise seventeen hundred dollars to pay
for the cremation in a basic earned and now they've
raised twenty one hundred.

Speaker 5 (01:22:04):
So I just I thought that story was sweet.

Speaker 7 (01:22:06):
That's the stuff that warms your heart exactly, and the.

Speaker 4 (01:22:08):
Best parts about living in a small town right there
in one story. We'll be right back with Steve Moore,
assuming when.

Speaker 5 (01:22:14):
We call him he picks up the phone. On tariffs
coming up next.

Speaker 4 (01:22:18):
One of my favorite eggheads, my favorite nerd, and well,
Steve Moore, economic advisor to the Trump administration. But I
have to ask this this way, Steve, because you and
I we go way back. We go way back. I
know you're a free market guy. What are your thoughts
about these tariffs?

Speaker 9 (01:22:37):
And Maddy, how are you?

Speaker 4 (01:22:39):
I'm good, I'm jumping right in. I got stuff to
talk about.

Speaker 5 (01:22:42):
I want to make sure you get it all in.

Speaker 9 (01:22:43):
You waste one minute, no pleasantry anyway, It's great to
be to you. It's been a while, so listen. I
you've known me a long time. I'm a free trade guy.
I don't like tariffs, but Trump, you know here all
sorts of different trumps terroriffs out there. I do believe
we should get tough with China because China is not

(01:23:06):
in the United States and they are a threat to
the United States and they don't play by the RULD.
So I think we should get very tough with China.
I don't quite understand the thing with Canada. I mean,
to day, practically out of the fifty first state already.

Speaker 7 (01:23:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:23:19):
Yeah, and you know, like Canada and Mexico are two
most important allies in the world, no question about it.
And I've always been a believer that we should have
a unified kind of Canada, United States Mexico free trade
zone that would make North America the dominant continent, which
we are well on the world to becoming. So that's it. Look,

(01:23:42):
I think the markets are very frazzled by what Trump
is doing. Keeps talking about terrorist day after day. I
think what we should be concentrating on the tax bill,
making sure that we're not going to have the biggest
tax increase in history in January, and less about terrorists.
That's my take.

Speaker 4 (01:23:59):
Well, Libia, this because I've sort of maintained this and
one thing I have learned. I mean, Steve I told
somebody this the other day. I've had my own show
since two thousand and five. Right, So I've lived through
multiple administrations. I have never in my career had to
try and consume, digest, sort out, and then communicate about
so much as I have in the first six weeks

(01:24:21):
of the Trump administration.

Speaker 9 (01:24:23):
Yeah, it's no, I feel the same way. You're right,
it's just he the man does not slow down, and
his every day it's like five or six new major initiatives.
He wants to make his place in history, thinking about
his legacy, and you know, he understands that he only
has four years and actually probably realistically two years and
two years from now many will be talking about the

(01:24:44):
next election.

Speaker 5 (01:24:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:24:45):
So so he's he's secretariat out of the gate, and
I think most of the stuff he's doing is very positive.

Speaker 7 (01:24:53):
I love Doge, I love the you know, yeah, I.

Speaker 9 (01:24:56):
Hate the idea of you know, men playing women's sports
and that kind of thing. So he's hitting all the
right buttons. But I think the tariff thing is hurting
him right now, man, because the market is worried, you know,
the latest report on the GVH in the case, we're
going to be of a negative quarter, you know, which
is worrisome. So let's be totally attentive of growing the
economy and getting a platient under control.

Speaker 4 (01:25:18):
Well, let me ask you this, going back to the
whole thing I just said about this, it's just coming
out so fast and curious.

Speaker 5 (01:25:23):
I have speculated on the.

Speaker 4 (01:25:25):
Show that Donald Trump's view of tariffs is using it
as leverage, right, using it as a sledgehammer in order
to force people to the table to have negotiations. Do
you think that he'd used it as a tool or
it ends in and of itself.

Speaker 9 (01:25:40):
Well, I think a little bit of both. I mean,
you're clearly right that he does use tariffs as a
negotiating tool, and he's very effectively. I mean, that's what
got the NATO companies in Europe to pay their NATO
does That's why did you remember when Columbia said, well,
we're not going to take back these refuge and sure
enough a week later they said, okay, we'll take them.
Can't even Mexico has started to get help for some

(01:26:02):
of the you know, drug warlords that are importing this
poison into our society. So, yes, he's and instantly I
want to make sure your listeners understand this. And the
only country that could get away with this is the
United States, because we're the country, we're the hub of
the world economy of every country needs to compete with
us and then to trade with us. And so when

(01:26:23):
Trump takes away that carrot, you know, for example, China
would go into a great depression if they couldn't sell
things to us.

Speaker 4 (01:26:30):
Right. So now we see that that there are special
dispensations being carved out for car makers. I heard today
we're talking about special dispensations for certain agriculture products. So
in my mind, that says he doesn't believe that this
is an ends unto itself, right, because if you believe
that tariffs were the way to actually fund the government,

(01:26:52):
as he's kind of indicated in the past, then you
wouldn't back down. But the reality is is he is
aware of especially in the car mean extra saying look,
we're going to have to shut down plants. I think
that probably had an impact on him, But to me,
it indicates that this is more of a negotiating tactic
and a tool. One of the things I thought was
interesting about that speech the other night, Steve was that

(01:27:12):
he was very clear and saying, look, they have tariffs
against so many of our products, and we really just
want to be treated fairly. How accurate in your estimation
is that in terms of are we over tariffed by
other countries in compared to what we care of other countries.

Speaker 9 (01:27:30):
Yes, there's no doubt about that. We're the low tariff
country in the world. We have the lowest terrorists and
a better way. We're advantaged by that because you know,
it means that when we buy things from Mexico or
coffee from Brazil or whatever it is, we won't pay
a huge price for it. But it would be ideal

(01:27:50):
if Trump could force these other countries, which I think
he will do, to lower their terrorists because that way
we're all better off. And the point is that all
these comes well, if you're going to raise your terrorists
on us, we're going to raise our terrorists on you.
That doesn't work for them because we don't. If we
can't trade with Mexico, it hurt us. But if Mexico

(01:28:11):
can't trade with us, their economy collapses, so they can't
win a tip for tat war. I I just want
to go back to this point though, that we need
to focus on getting the economy back on his feet.
You know, we've inherited a complete mess from Biden and
to start with terroriffs, I think is a mistake. What

(01:28:32):
I would do, and I've advised President Trump to do this,
do that. Get our tax cut done. Is it was
a huge success. It's not a tax cut for the rich.
It's the tax cut for every small business in Colorado.
Every single family in Colorado get a tax cut from
that bill. And so get that made permanent and then
you know, get the economy will start to rev up,

(01:28:52):
and then you can talk about terrorists. But that was
not a good time to do it because it's thrown
the global financial markets into a kind of pandemonium.

Speaker 4 (01:29:00):
Is there any way to do it when it won't
have that effect? Because I gotta tell you, Steve, if
I look back to the Reagan administration, and I was
just a kid, okay, during the first Reagan administration, and
I know that the actions that were taken by the
Fed to contract the amount of money in the economy,
we took a hit. And you to your point, we're
looking at maybe having a negative quarter. I think we're
going to see a recession. I not a huge one,

(01:29:21):
not a wrong I hope so too. But I think
it's going to be like the Reagan recession was a
sharp v recession. Down quick, up quick, you know. And
I think if all of this stuff is allowed to
sort of settle in, then.

Speaker 5 (01:29:35):
Perhaps that what that's what happened.

Speaker 4 (01:29:37):
But I do believe a lot of the steps are
taking will unleash the economy on the other side in
the same way that it did in the nineteen eighties.

Speaker 17 (01:29:44):
Yeah, I agree with that.

Speaker 9 (01:29:45):
And I think if we go back to nineteen eighty
one eighty two, you know, when Reagan came in, you know,
the economy was really in the tank back then. I
mean we had eleven percent inflation, and you know, the
mortgage interest rate went up to eighteen percent. And remember
that it was a disaster and Trump, I mean, Reagan
had to it was shock therapy, right, it's chemote therapy

(01:30:06):
that we had to apply to the economy because it
was in such lousy shape and it was so danger
of dying. And uh, and we had a tough time.
The first year of Trump's Reagan's administration was not good.
It was a tough, very tough times. I remember that.
And then once we once we took the medicine, boy,
the economy just boomed under Reagan, and I think that's

(01:30:29):
exactly what would happen under Trump. But except people have
short memories. Now, yeah, I don't think they could tolerate
six months of negative, negative growth.

Speaker 4 (01:30:39):
Well, I do think it's going to be really hard.
And then the temptation comes for politicians in office to
want to quote do something, you know, inevitably, Padfuyres.

Speaker 9 (01:30:48):
That's when you want to run for the fire escape
when they say do something. Yeah. Yeah, most of the
time what they do is wrong. But the tax cut
has got to get done. I know I want Johnny
one note on that, but we cannot We cannot afford
the failure is not an option on this. And if
it doesn't get done quickly, I think that there's gonna
be more panic on Wall Street that this isn't going

(01:31:08):
to happen, and that would be a disaster. So, mister President,
I know you're listening to Mandy Show, Please please stop
with the terrorists. Let's get the tax get done. Then
when we do that, and oh, by the way, I
love what I haven't talked to you for a while,
so I love with what Elon is doing with it. Yeah,
which I think it's fantastic. I mean, and I don't
understand why all the Democrats, and you've got a lot

(01:31:31):
of Democrats there in Colorado, why.

Speaker 7 (01:31:33):
Are they against Doge Dose.

Speaker 9 (01:31:35):
Is telling us where the waste and inefficiency and the
duplication in fraudo. If you're a good government person, you
should want to see that happen.

Speaker 4 (01:31:42):
Well, I got to tell you, I said this the
other day. I believe that Trump two point zero, which
is why where I'm calling this, you know, uh a term.
Trump two point zero has broken the Democratic Party, Steve,
And it was evidenced in the fact that they sat
there the other night during that speech and could not
even get up to clap for a little boy with
brain cancer who's made an honorary member of the Secret Service.

Speaker 5 (01:32:05):
And he has broken the party.

Speaker 4 (01:32:08):
He has broken them in such a way that they
have positioned themselves as anti whatever he says. Right, So
to your point, it's like, of course, everybody should be
for a more efficient government, but Trump likes it, so
they are anti and it's just put him in a
really untenable situation I think going forward.

Speaker 9 (01:32:25):
Yeah, and it makes them look I mean when I
first arrived in Washington thirty years ago, we used to
work work with Democrats all the time, you know, And
I'm not a row Republican. I mean, Republicans can be
as bad as Democrats. And yet now you know, excuse me,
I agree with you. I think the performance of those
Democrats was just a disaster for their party and it

(01:32:47):
was embarrassing. Frankly that you know, it's basically become the
party of AOC and Elizabeth Warren and crazy people. And
so I don't I don't think it's healthy for the country.

Speaker 2 (01:32:57):
I want.

Speaker 9 (01:32:57):
I want a vibrant Democratic party where we can have
real debates about issues, not just left wing tripe that
comes out of the Democrats today. And so I mean, look,
Bill Clint was a Democrat. We pardon one. Bill Clint
was president, remember that.

Speaker 4 (01:33:12):
Oh yeah, those were the helcy on days of balanced budgets.

Speaker 1 (01:33:14):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:33:15):
Trump did have one passing line about balance budget and
I got a little tingle. I was all excited. But
I'll believe it when I see it. Let me ask that, right,
Let me ask you your perception, because you were also
on the economic advisory team for the first Trump one
point zero and now you are working with this on
Trump two point zero. How is Trump different between those

(01:33:36):
two terms?

Speaker 13 (01:33:36):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:33:36):
That's a great question. So, by the way, I'll just
tell you one quick story. You know, I have a
book out right now with us a laugher called the
Trump Economic Miracle, and the uh we went to see
Trump about eight months ago or so to show them
the book and show them the graphs and stuff in there.
And he loves to look at pictures. You don't like
to read, but anyway, so we uh we show them

(01:34:00):
all bunch of the graphs showing how well that's better
of the account has darned when he was president than
when Bagen was president. And then when he got the enemy,
he said, what are you guys going to call this book?
And I said, well, mister president, we're going to call
it Trump two point zero. And he said, now I
like that, He said, call it a Trump Econock Miracle.

Speaker 7 (01:34:18):
So I too much.

Speaker 9 (01:34:21):
So but here's where I think he's different, and I
get asked that question a lot. First of all, he's
much more confident, he's he's under he knows where the
men's room. In other words, when you're first elected, it
takes six months just to figure out, you know, how
everything operates.

Speaker 4 (01:34:37):
And he was under attacked from he was under attacked
from the moment he got elected.

Speaker 9 (01:34:42):
And that's the other thing that I think is so
interesting because there's a new pollout. He has a fifty
four percent approval rating now and that's gigantic for Trump.
In the first term, he never hasd anywhere near fifty percent,
and now he's fifty four thirty four, which is you know,
plus twenty and so I found it to be really interesting.
When Trump one in twenty sixteen, I think the country

(01:35:04):
was fearful. Yeah, they were afraid of what he was
going to do. And I have nieces who wouldn't even
talk to me. They were so angry and so nervous
about it. I think now the country is they're not fearful,
they're hopeful. They're hopeful of what he's going to do
to make America great again. So I think that's the
key difference. And he's matured. I mean, he knows exactly
what to do, and he knows the clock is sticking.

(01:35:26):
Yeah's got him at quickly if he wants to save
the country.

Speaker 4 (01:35:29):
Well, I said this to.

Speaker 5 (01:35:30):
Someone the other day.

Speaker 4 (01:35:31):
It's like the people who are assuming that they're dealing
with the same Donald Trump. Because I do think in
the first term. To your point about that learning curve,
it felt much more like he was just kind of
throwing stuff against the wall in some respects and seeing
if it sticks.

Speaker 9 (01:35:48):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:35:48):
But I from the moment he has taken office, I
like it it too. The first, you know, series of
plays in any NFL game have already been written by
the coach before the game starts on offense. Right, you
have that first set of plays. He's got the first
set of plays, and he has I think it feels
like a clear plan. I would like to be more

(01:36:09):
privy to the details of the clear plan, if I'm honest, right,
I'd like to know what he's thinking that we're not
hearing yet, because I see what I what I what
I you know, conjure up to be what could be
a master plan going forward when it comes to relations
with Ukraine and China and everything else. But I'd like
to hear a clear macro view of what he is

(01:36:30):
trying to accomplish other than we're going to make America
great again. I need I just want a little more
meat on those bones, if you know what I mean.

Speaker 9 (01:36:38):
Yeah, well he's going to I mean, if you look
at the big four issues, tax policy, Obviously he's got
that picture, right. You know, I like the idea. He
not only wants to make the tax cuts from the
first term permanent, but he also wants to go to
a fifteen percent rate for companies that invest in the
United States. Yeah, he wants no tax on tips, you
know in the other Well, I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:36:57):
That's I mean, Steve, he's only doing that, no tax
on tips for his billionaire friends. I mean, obviously, obviously
it's so clear.

Speaker 9 (01:37:05):
Right, Yeah, Well, you know, my first job, I don't
know if I ever told you this was parking towers
when I was seventeen and eighteen years old, and I
made all my money on tips. And I'm going to
tell you a little secret because I know this TV
this radio show is off the record. But I didn't
claim tip money my taxes.

Speaker 5 (01:37:22):
You know what, here's my shock face see more.

Speaker 4 (01:37:24):
Yeah, here's my Why do you think when I pay
with a credit card in a restaurant, I tip in cash?
Why do you think I do that? So more?

Speaker 9 (01:37:31):
That's so interesting. You know that you're about the third
person who's told me that in the last few weeks
that if you if you, if you tip in cash,
then yeah, because that's the thing.

Speaker 11 (01:37:41):
You know.

Speaker 7 (01:37:42):
I would walk away.

Speaker 9 (01:37:43):
Sometimes some nice with like forty bucks in my pocket
and tips. Yeah, and that was back when forty dollars
was a lot of money.

Speaker 4 (01:37:48):
Yeah, that's cute. Now now I'm talking about forty dollars
tips had I.

Speaker 9 (01:37:52):
Had a big cookie jar, you know, with all sort
you know. My mom was like, what are you gonna
do with all that money?

Speaker 5 (01:37:59):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:38:01):
You just looked at her and said, you know what
I'm not doing, mom, I'm not paying taxes on it.
That's what I'm talked Steve Moore, We're at a time.
I know, I know it flies. I gotta get you.

Speaker 5 (01:38:12):
I say this every time, but you are hard to
pin down. Mister.

Speaker 4 (01:38:15):
You're a busy person. All right, we'll talk to you again.
You now you're just blowing smoke up my tazoo. Yes,
right again, all right, Steve, I'll talk to you.

Speaker 5 (01:38:26):
Suvee my friend, I have a good one.

Speaker 4 (01:38:28):
That's Steve Moore, part of Trump's economic team and honestly.

Speaker 5 (01:38:31):
One of my favorite people.

Speaker 4 (01:38:33):
As fastic as he is on the radio, he's like
twice as fastic as that on real life. He's just
all over the place, all the time, much like our
own Rob Dawson convention. Yeah, for like a hot minute
we got we got interviews dangled in front of us,
and then nothing came of it. That was so aggravating. Anyway,

(01:38:54):
Rob Dawson is in here, and that means it's time
for the most exciting segment on the radio, on its
guide in the world.

Speaker 5 (01:39:07):
Of the day. All right, anyway we are doing what
are we doing? First, We've got dad.

Speaker 4 (01:39:14):
Joke of the day. I have an idea. I forgot
to tell you guys this. You would probably do it,
for sure. I bet you went to Rob Dawson when
I at some point today, I have like fifty things
that I have to take care of this afternoon. But
wouldn't it be fun if we all recorded ourselves telling
a joke video and then put it on our Facebook
page or our social media and just started an entire
movement of people recording themselves telling a joke and just
posting on social media.

Speaker 7 (01:39:37):
Y yeah, good yaps on social media.

Speaker 5 (01:39:40):
So I'm going to do that this afternoon, and I'll
challenge I'll let's do the same. This is what I
have going on my life.

Speaker 7 (01:39:45):
The day just makes me laughing.

Speaker 4 (01:39:48):
He's the only one that goes down meat. Yes, you
know the change like if or was playing out of
the day.

Speaker 3 (01:39:54):
There you go.

Speaker 4 (01:39:55):
What is our dad joke?

Speaker 9 (01:39:56):
Please?

Speaker 7 (01:39:57):
Dad joke of the day? Breaking news.

Speaker 6 (01:40:00):
A man was admitted to the hospital today with twenty
five plastic horses inserted in his rectum. What doctors have
described his condition as stable?

Speaker 4 (01:40:09):
Oh yeah, wow, wow, I'm just gonna pretend that never happened.
What's the word.

Speaker 9 (01:40:18):
Of the day.

Speaker 6 (01:40:19):
You don't want me to repeat that, jo job, I
have the day today. Career, but not the career you're
thinking of a verb, career spelled the same way career
cr is to fly off, you know, like you're heading
in the right direction.

Speaker 5 (01:40:36):
Career A career is and it's a verb. You said
a verb.

Speaker 4 (01:40:42):
I'm going to say it's a slip, slide out of control,
a similar swerve out of the way.

Speaker 9 (01:40:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (01:40:47):
Uh, maybe a half point for both of you.

Speaker 6 (01:40:50):
To career is to go at top speed, especially in
a headlong manner.

Speaker 4 (01:40:54):
Okay, in a headlong manner, not just you know, top
just willy Billy, just put it out there, okay. Today's
trivia question. The Stacks Museum of American Soul Music in Memphis,
Tennessee houses a twenty four carrot plated gold Cadillac. To
which musician did this cadillac once belong? I feel like

Speaker 7 (01:41:18):
Like a Bbking or something.

No, but it makes perfect sense. I already read the answer.
