and I am anti this kind of toddler trickery. Those
are the headlines on the blog aatmandy'sblog dot com.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
And we got some good videos.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Obviously, the last video did not embed properly on the
last I'll fix that, but it's a.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Bit of toddler trickery.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
All if you've had a toddler, you know that on
occasion as a parent, you have to engage in some
kind of skullduggery to get the result that you want.
This is a couple of parents pretending that they're pouring
with cream into their little one's mouth, when in reality
they're squeezing vegetables, period vegetables. And though I appreciate the
(03:26):
craftiness of this, I also appreciate that it's not going
to do it in the long run. Do what they
think it's going to do, which is get the kid
need vegetables. You have to choose your battles, right, you
really do. You have to choose your battles on this stuff.
But I'm generally speaking, I'm pro sneaking vegetables into other foods.
You know, you can do that with a lot of
vegetables and a lot of foods. You can sneak all
(03:47):
kinds of vegetables into all kinds of foods with kids.
But I'm also pro having your kid understand that they
have to try something, and that we always used to
tell the que you have to try it with an
open mind. You can't try it when you think you're
gonna hate it, and then you say I'm gonna hate this,
but I'm gonna try it in that's not with an
open mind.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And to this day, she'll try pretty much anything. Now.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
When she tries something and goes, ooh, I never want
to eat that again, I'm like, okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
The kid will not eat cook carrots.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
She's like, cook carrots are the most disgusting vegetable ever,
And part of me is like, yeah, I could see it.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Sometimes they taste like dirt. You know, They're not as
bad as beats.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I love beats.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
To be clear, I am one of those people that
I love beats, but I totally understand when people hate
beats because on occasion you get a beat, it tastes
so disgusting you're like, oh god, I never want to
eat that again. And someone rightly points out, what, you
know what, that never happens with a rod. You never
have that happen with Dorito's. Now, do you know you
get a nacho cheese torito and they taste the same
(04:48):
every single time, that little bag.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Full of chemicals, they taste exactly the same every single time.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
We also have some good videos. Steph Curry, what would
you say, is that a six point shot? A ten
point shot?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
You win game?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
He is walking towards the tunnel and hurls the ball
all the way across the court and it just nothing.
But I know it was like a bowling shot, you know,
yeah it was. It's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That is why he's the best any point anything shooter
of all.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Well, I mean, do you think he could make that
shot twice or three times?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
No, I don't either. I don't either, But once.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's spectacular, it's spectacular. We also have a Marvel house.
This would make a great short term rental where this
guy has decorated the outside of his house with my
lifetime Marvel characters.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I sent you that in in privacy. You can't tell
people where I live. You can't show them my house.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
No, stop it, stop it. You wish it was your house?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Damn Right, does Joscelyn know that this is going to
be happening at your house as soon as you can afford.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Some of these life size models?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Slowly trying.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
So okay, there's a little little, one little piece of
you know, memorabilia at a time.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, there you go. I have a very interesting video from.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
From Ben Shapiro, and it's a video of this young
man going to these protests anti Semitic protests college campuses
and asking college students what they're saying, not like, repeat
to me what you just said, but he's like, hey,
you're saying from the river to the sea.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Do you know what river and what sea? And of
course they're like, uh, what what do you what are
you talking about?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And he asked one of the girls, so, were you
chancing bring back the ento fauda And she was like yeah,
He's like you know what that means, right, She's like no,
He's like, you're calling for the murder of all Jews
wherever they are.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And she was like, what, what?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
How?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
This is what I don't get And maybe maybe this
is so foreign to me because my father always, I
mean from the time I was little, my father didn't
ever tell me things about like taking care of you know,
my retirement planning or you know, how to invest, like
you didn't tell me any of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
But one thing he told me from a.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Very young age and reiterated is that, like whatever comes
out of your mouth is an indication of your character.
So if you don't understand something, you need to find
it out before you run around and parrot something that
you heard someone else say, because they may be idiots,
and you're gonna run around parrot something that idiots said.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And it stuck with me.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So before I'm gonna chant something, I'm gonna understand what
I'm chanting. These college students apparently didn't get that message
from their parents. Now we're gonna you know what a rod,
let's talk about this this Jonathan Major's thing like on Friday,
because I think it's interesting and I think this video
that I have on the blog today and Jonathan Major
is an actor who was going to play the central
(07:46):
binding character for the next Marvel arc until he got
arrested for slapping a girl.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
For the non nerds think what they did with Fanos.
For quite a while, that was the that was the plan.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well, and he was simmarily dumped out of the Marvel universe. Well,
he's he's working to rehab his image, and I got
to tell you this video a good way to do it.
So we'll see if he can work his way back in.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yeah, now that you know, if it wasn't a Disney product, maybe,
but now that it is and has been, probably not.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
We'll see, We'll see, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I happen to believe that once people, I mean he's
already he added it. Was it he found not guilty
or was he found guilty?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
You know, I figured hearing this, I was like, oh,
was he acquitted or you know, is he in the clear?
And not really, I mean parts of it were I
think stretched, But I think he was found guilty on
some of the issues.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So yeah, you know, I don't know. He was arraigned,
pretty sure he was guilty of some.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Let me see trial and conviction.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
He pleading not guilty to mister ener assault and harassment charges.
On December eighteenth, he was found guilty of one count
of reckless assault in the third degree and a charge
of harassment as a violation.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
He was acquitted of the more serious charges.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Okay, and he is going to be.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Sentenced or he was sentence.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
He was sentenced to fifty two weeks of a domestic
violence intervention program and probation.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
See here's my thinking, though.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Not very clear, but some of the stuff was, Yeah,
and you know, at what point do we allow people
to have a second chance, right what people do? At
what point do we say, Okay, look, you know you've
done this. Here's you, You've followed through, you've completed your
your you know, whatever it is, we have to allow
people to have second chances.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I agree with you, and I'm not saying I agree
with what I'm going to say, but anything outside of Disney,
you'd be right.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
But I don't think Disney would take chances in that sphere,
in that realm.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
I don't. I don't their their brand can't in their
minds at all, possibly be tarnished with the possibility that
they have someone that could have potentially done that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I know that's a lot of strings, but I just
don't think I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I can't really argue with that at all. So okay,
we've got to s short show today. I want to
start out by saying, over the weekends, former Congresswoman me
A Love passed away of brain cancer.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
She was forty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And normally I don't talk about someone who's not in
Congress anymore who's died, because you know, even the big ease,
I kind of just hold my fire. But this one,
she was very much a trailblazer. She was the first
African American woman elected by Republicans, She was the first
Republican African American woman sent to Congress from Utah. She
was just a really dynamic woman. I had the opportunity
(10:30):
to see her speak many years ago, and she definitely
fit the category of a happy warrior for conservative causes.
And she was another person that I felt did a
great job articulating why a smaller government, you know, free
market view of the world is a better place to go.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And I just wanted to make a note that.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
She is noteworthy not just because she was the first
black woman Republican elected to Congress, but because she was
such a great advocate for conservative ideals and conservative policy positions,
and it's a shame that she passed away so young.
Forty nine is just too young in my view. As
I said here at fifty five, forty nine is too
(11:16):
young to do that. Okay, guys, the side hustle is live.
I got a link on a blog today. I have
a link to Kevin Lundberg. He spent a lot of
time in the legislature, and now he is spending a
lot of time paying attention to the legislature. I actually
just reached out to him a rod to get him
on the show. But he does the Lundberg Report, which
(11:37):
is really good, and I don't know how it flew
under my radar until now.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
A little bit annoyed by that.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And he's got a breakdown of what bills are working
their way through the legislature, and he breaks them down
by good bills and bad bills, and of course there's
going to be far more bad bills. And oddly enough,
you're going to be shocked to find out that most
of the good bills have been killed in committee by Democrats.
Killed in committee, killed in committee, killed in committee, killed
(12:06):
in committee, killed in committee, killed in committee killed in committee.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I mean, the Republicans are trying, you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
One of the reasons I want to bring your attention
to Kevin's site is you need to know how hard
Republicans are trying in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You really do need to know.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
They're just so hopelessly outnumbered, completely hopelessly outnumbered, and they
just can't get anything done.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
So that is on the blog as well.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Today I have a very long column by a guy,
and I want to talk about this because I think
this is really important. So I started following this guy
at a substack called the Forgotten Side of Medicine. He's
a Midwestern doctor, is what he writes as, and he
writes very interesting stuff that was during COVID. He was
(12:57):
one of the first people that I saw that is
kind of questioning the narrative a little bit and talking
about things like doing a deep dive into what the
Pfizer papers did not say about the the COVID vaccine
and all of this stuff, and everything he said back
then turned out to be true. He was the first
(13:19):
person that I saw that said, yeah, this vaccine is
not going to prevent any transmission and Pfizer doesn't say
it's going to So when I saw this article on
the forgotten side of medicine called wire statins so dangerous,
I knew I was gonna read it first of all,
and then I knew I was going to share it
with you because millions of Americans are on statins right now.
(13:41):
Statins are drugs which lower cholesterol. And if you talk
to your doctor, if your cholesterol is a little high,
and my cholesterol is a little high, so my doctor,
I love my doctor, and she always says, you know,
you may want to consider a statin. I'm like, and
maybe I won't.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Maybe I won't.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And I sent her this column for to read because
it's all footnoted. There's all kinds of references. You can
click through and look through all of them. But he
maintains that growing evidence that lowering cholesterol does not reduce
heart disease, the medical industry continues to push statins. Studies
have shown that the benefits of statins are minimal, with
(14:18):
data manipulated to exaggerate their effectiveness. They're aggressively promoted not
because of their efficacy, but due to financial interests in
the pharmaceutical industry. Guidelines on cholesterol and statins are often
created by experts who work for companies that make statins,
and many doctors and patients are actually penalized for not
(14:41):
taking a statin. I mean, it's crazy, and they have
significant harm and a large number of people are going
to have side effects to a statin. Now, if you're
on a statin right now, I don't want you to
throw in the trash. I don't want you to do
that because I'm not a doctor. I don't even play
one on the radio. I do, however, read a lot
of medical stuff. What I want you to do is
take this article into your doctor, ask them to read it,
(15:05):
ask them to click through the links, because unfortunately, doctors,
being as busy as they are, they are seeing patients
all day. I mean, I don't want to be a doctor.
It sounds like a horrible job. I'm not gonna lie,
but they're seeing patients all day. So the information that
they are getting about the drugs that they are prescribing
are coming from where the drug companies who want you
to buy them. So they're only getting one side of
(15:29):
this information. And there's a lot of evidence out there
that says, yeah, they might lower your cholesterol, but they
don't lower your chance of mortality with any significance. Let
me see if I can find this number very very quickly,
he goes. He goes to the history. By the way,
listen to this. In the nineteen sixties and seventies, a
debate emerged over what caused heart disease. On one side,
(15:51):
John Yutken effectively argued that the sugar being added to
our food by the processed food industry was the chief culprit.
On the other side, Ansel Keys, who attacked Yudkin's work,
argued that it was due to saturated fat and cholesterol.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Ansel Keys one.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yudkin's work was largely dismissed, and Keys became a nutritional dogma.
A large part of Key's victory was based on his
study of seven countries Italy, Greece, Former Yugoslavia, Netherlands, Finland, America,
and Japan, which showed that as saturated fat consumption increased,
heart disease increased in a linear fashion. However, what many
(16:30):
don't know, as this study is still frequently cited, is
that this result was simply a product of the country's
keys chose. For example, if Finland, Israel, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France,
and Sweden has been chosen.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
The opposite would have been found.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So when you read this, you begin to understand how
captive our medical community is to the pharmaceutical companies. The
FDA has long been inhabited by people who just recycle
from the pharmaceutical companies to go ahead and get everything approved.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
And a lot of people are taking medicines that.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Not only are not helping, they can actually be harmful
to your health. They could actually in some people some
we don't know. This is all just correlation, not causation,
but they have been shown to increase the chance of
type two diabetes.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I mean, come on, you guys, listen to this.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Taking a statin daily for approximately five years resultant in
living on average. Hey Rod, how much longer do you
think taking a statin for five years resultant in people
living according to.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
This study, I don't know, tell me three to four
days longer.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So for five years, every day you're taking a pill
that has side effects to live three or four days longer.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I mean, it's just it's insane.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You've got to read this column, you guys, because ultimately,
what doctors should be doing is talking to people about nutrition.
What they're putting in their bodies, how they're moving their
bodies or not, and lifestyle changes that cost zero to implement.
But in most medical schools, if you get any nutrition
training at all, it's maybe a week, maybe a week
(18:14):
of nutrition training. So, guys, if you're on a stat
and take this to your doctor, ask them to read
it in its entirety and then have a conversation, because ultimately,
your doctors are being sold a bill of goods by
the people who are profiting from the drugs that they
are sending.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
To the doctors with this bill of goods.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So and if your doctor is not receptive to having
a conversation about this, find a new doctor or ask
them what happens if patients don't take a statin?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
And what happens for you when patients do take a statin?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Are they getting pressure from a hospital system, are they
getting pressure from drug manufacturers?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Are they being.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Penalized in any way, shape or form. I'd love to
know the answers to these questions. All right, that's on
the blog today. When we get back, I've got to
talk about this story at Durango because it's so appalling
on so many levels. Durango did not shine. Let me
just say that we'll be right back after this on Kowa.
If we rented a bus to drive down to Pueblo
(19:11):
to go to Bojangles when it opened, and you guys
had to pay to get on the bus, because I'm
not paying for your bus, we should have the bow
Jangles Express when it opens. A listener actually suggested this,
but I need to make sure I have enough people
who would like It'd probably be like, I don't know,
like thirty bucks or something round trip to get us
down there and back. Although it's been a while since
I rented a bus, I don't know how much that
(19:32):
would cost. Just an idea I'm kicking around there. You
can text me on the Common Spirit Health text line
at five sixty six nine oh if you would like
to go with us on the Boajangles bus. Maggie Connall
Mini adventure, Yes, yes, a little baby adventure. I used
to do this stuff a lot when I worked for
other radio stations, but it just doesn't it's not as
(19:53):
organic as this is.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Mandy does your study mention? Red yeast Rice.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I was told that the natural problem is what the
synthetic statin drugs were trying to mimic.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
The issue is and if you're just joining us, I
just shared part of an.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Article about statins and the statin article is on today's blog.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Go to mandy'sblog dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Looks for the headline that says three twenty four to
twenty five blog on the latest post section and it
is the fourth article on today's blog.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And it has a link to the column so you
can read it yourself. It is the The blog is up.
I don't know why you can't find it today. I
don't know. I do not know the answer, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
At my doctor's insistence, I've taken every kind of stat
and available. I was not able to tolerate any of them.
They are they make me so tired. I was not
able to function. I now have refused them for several years.
Here's the kicker, you guys. It appears that cholesterol plaque
may be a healing thing like you had damaged your artery,
and the cholesterol pack is how your body heals it.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
So we don't even know. We have no idea. I
want to go on that adventure. Great, Oh we got three.
We got three in.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
We're gonna need more, but we'll work on that later. Now,
I got to talk about this story out of Durango, Colorado.
So in Durango, there was a woman who, after recovering
from breast cancer, she finally got the clear to go
back to the gym and work out. So she's in
I believe, the Durango Rec Center and she's got her
hat on that says make America Healthy Again, Maha right,
(21:30):
and an old man walks up to her in the gym,
gets in her face, starts screaming in her face, and
eventually hits her hat like three times, trying to knock
it off right. Well, after the confrontation, the victim, Bernadette Lake,
went on Twitter and posted about the incident, was like, dude,
this is insane. And now the guy who yelled at her,
(21:54):
Donald Ratcliffe, sixty nine years old, of Durango. He's been
charged with disturbing the peace. An issue to summons on Wednesday. Now,
the only reason to bring this up is because it
is yet another example you can throw in the people
kying or trying to destroy or vandalize Tesla's.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You can bring in all of.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
The people who've made Luis Luigi Mangioni into some kind
of cult hero because he murdered someone. You know, and
I'd never want to hear anybody on the left ever, ever,
ever again, ever, ever, ever again talk about violence on
the right, because violence on the right is nothing compared
(22:37):
to violence on the left, and they think they've got
the moral high ground. I can't wait till all of
these people who are being filmed desecrating Tesla's on the
tesla's camera get arrested and charged with domestic terrorism.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I love that, I love it, love it now.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I don't think they're actually going to get charged with
domestic terrorism for king a car. The people being charged
with domestic terrorism are the ones throwing off Molotov cocktails everywhere.
So oh yes, a lot of people are in for
the bow Jangles Mini trip.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Mandy.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I love your show, but are your ratings so low
that you get pre emptied by Rockies preseason baseball?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Let me just say this one more time.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
We are contractually obligated, due to us being the Rockies
home affiliate, to air a certain number of spring training games.
Because spring training games are almost all in the afternoon,
they are going to pre empt my show. It has
nothing to do with ratings, It has nothing to do
with anything else. It just has to do with the
fact that we are the Rocky Station and that is
(23:37):
part of the deal. So Mandy, I took statins for
a little over a year. My whole body ached every day.
I weaned off and told my doctor there's got to
be a better way. Yep, yep, yep yep. Now this
story out of Durango should be embarrassing to people. I mean,
(23:57):
I oh, by the way, as the guy was at
her and hit her hat to try and flip it off.
She's not a young woman and this is an older woman.
People applauded at the rec center because he was yelling
at her about her hat.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
A hat people, A hat A hat form.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
A woman who has worked in India trying to save
poor people by helping them get decent nutrition, a woman
who believes that our entire food system needs an overhaul,
a woman who just fought cancer, and this guy got
applauded at the Durango rec center.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Durngo? I love Durrango. We had a great time in
Drango when we went down there many years ago. I
just don't understand why people can be so ugly and
then feel themselves to be mortally superior because of it. Yeah,
Mandy Statton's cause a reduction in cholesterol, which reduces your
body's ability to produce testosterone. Nobody talks about it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Huh huh.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
January sixth was not violent for a vast majority of people.
Know it wasn't for a handful of people. Yes, it was,
But think about the difference between January sixth, one off
one incident and the ongoing vandalization molotov cocktails, people getting
attacked in gyms.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Now that's a thing.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Now, it is ongoing, and it is relentless, and it's
happening to people in normal communities.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
And it started way back when all.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
The people on the left were saying, Yeah, Sarah, hu
could be Sanders should not be allowed to dine out.
If you see a Republican in a restaurant, walk up
to them and scream in their faces. So, yeah, j
six not the finest moment, but a vast majority of
people that were there for January sixth did not do
any violence at all.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
They may have walked through the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Some of them actually prayed. I know, so violent, those
violent prayers. Anyway, what the hell is Bojangles asked this texter.
It is some of the best fried chicken you will
ever have in your life at a chain, and they
have delicious biscuits, and they have dirty rice, which is fantastic.
And they're opening their first Colorado store in Preblo sometime
(26:10):
in the middle of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And we're gonna make it. We're gonna make a bowj Angles.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
What's the word I'm looking for, pilgrimage, A pilgrimage to
bowch Angles. I wonder if I reached out to the
corporate offices, if they would like give us T shirts
or something for our pilgrimage.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I wonder, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I've been watching a bunch of YouTube videos on health,
mainly about type two diabetes. One of the comments I
heard blaming LDL for artery disease is like blaming firefighters
for the fires they are fighting.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
And that's what people are starting to see.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
What came first, you know, was the plaque there.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
There's just so much we don't know, but what we
do know is that statins are very very very dangerous
for very very very small impact.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
That's it, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Am I the only one who's thinking, why am I
not lucky enough for someone to confront me darned touton.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, I don't like I don't like confrontation. I don't
like it.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I never have.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
But I'm at the point now in my life where
it's not that I would welcome it, but I certainly
wouldn't back down. I would not back down. I would
give as good as I got. As they say, Mandy,
I got called a sea word for having a let's
Go Brandon on my car. I removed it. They took
away my freedom of speech. I live in Greeley. Conservative.
(27:33):
Was conservative the sea word or was it the other
sea word?
Speaker 5 (27:39):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And if you took it off because you got yelled at,
then you they did not take away your freedom of speech.
You took away your freedom of speech. I'm not saying
you need to put it back on there, but make
sure you understand you merely capitulated to the pressure. But
then again, I've never agreed with putting really confrontational bumper
stickers on my car. Why you're not gonna change anybody's
(28:02):
mind with that, please, Okay, We're gonna take a quick
time out back to wrap up the show before we
hand things over to the Rockies at one o'clock for
the last.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Spring training game.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Keep it right here on Kowe the chicken pilgrimage that
I'm gonna reach out to bow Jangles and say, Okay,
what are you gonna do for us if we do this?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I'm dead serious. I freaking love their chickens so much.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
There are certain things that I missed from living in
the South, and having incredible fried chicken at multiple locations
is one of them, because fried chicken is God's perfect food,
except it will kill you eventually.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
But will it?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We don't know. We don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Anyway, got a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Of other stuff on the blog today that I'm not
gonna get to, but I do want to get into
this very very quickly. There's two things that have to
do with speech from the Colorado Legislature. Now, you know
that the Colorado Legislature is in session right now and
they are trying to find ways to make buying a
gun damn near impossible and make our lives a living hell.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Add as many taxes and.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Fees to us, well, fees, but the reality is they're
just taxes without our permission. I mean, the legislature has
destroyed the business environment, and now they're working on the
free speech environment as well. John Caldera has a really funny,
as John Caldera is prone to do, column about a
law that is going to require a warning on gas pumps.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
The warning is gonna.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Say, combustion of this product releases greenhouse gases known by
the State of Colorado to be linked to global heating
and significant health impacts.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Or are they gonna put that sticker on the outside
every Taco bell bag too? Are they gonna put that
sticker on every single thing that is.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Delivered by a truck, which is all of them?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I mean, it's just so absurd, And John, of course
is making the point that is absolutely compelled speech. You
are compelling gas station owners to force to make a
statement that they don't want to get freaking love their chicken.
I did not freaking love their chicken. I would not
drop an F bomb on the radio. And trust me,
a Rod would be well, ah, yeah, no, no, freaking
(30:15):
I love their freaking chicken.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I said freaking freaking chicken.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Anyway, Now, the second story that I have today is
actually from Fox News, and it's just it's such a whopper.
It is so incredibly stupid. I just want to play
the audio from this very very quickly. This is uh representative.
Let me see who this is and make sure I
know who I'm talking about here. It's a representative I'm
(30:40):
not familiar with. So Colorado Republican State rep kindograph was
on the floor of the House.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Listen, listen, listen to this.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Anybody's wondering the reason that because I had to cover
up this and then they couldn't stand my sticker and
I had no I can't. We had it it said
shall not be infringed and signed to a and that
was considered offensive.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
So I'll just tell you what I say, A Eric.
Can you not hear him? I can't turn it up.
It's as loud as he's gonna.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Okay, So he's in the will, he's in the well
speaking to the House, and he's got a little post
it note on the back of his computer that he
was forced to put there because he has a sticker
that says shall not be infringed, signed Second Amendment on
his computer and that was deemed offensive by the Democrats
in the House of Representatives. So now they're offended by
(31:30):
the Constitution. I mean legit defended, because all that is
shall not be infringed is part of the Second Amendment.
Oh boy, now everybody's in for the chicken trip. Exciting, exciting,
my friends, exciting. So we've got Democrats compelling speech and
(31:52):
then blocking speech they disagree with. But they're the party
of freedom. That's what they tried to tell us in
the campaign. Now I have a couple of stories that
should be extremely concerning to Democrats and the Democratic Party.
According to AP vote cast analysis, President Trump won forty
seven percent of the eighteen to twenty nine year old
(32:15):
demographic in the twenty twenty four election. That is up
up eleven percentage points from twenty twenty. The rating in
this age group his approval rating since January, Trump's approval
rating has improved by nearly twenty three percentage points since January.
(32:35):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, but listen to this from a
different article. Finally, Shore provides some definitive evidence that Democratic
messaging about Trump's anti democratic characteristics.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Fell on rocky ground.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
By an astonishing seventy eight percent to eighteen percent margin.
Voters said quote delivering change that improves American lives was
more important than quote preserving America's institutions. This finding suggested
in twenty twenty four and right now, Democrats should exploit
Trump's broken promises about the economy and other practical concerns
(33:12):
instead of focusing on how Trump has broken those promises.
But I think that is kind of the same. But
what are Democrats doing right now? As Trump is trying
to cut the government spending, they are trying to protect
the government institutions that young people have said they are
not interested in protecting.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
So go figure that strategy out.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Howdy, Mandy, I'll drive down from northeast of Shyenne for
the chicken trip.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Oh, everybody's in it, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Maybe we should put a sticker on the environmental terrorists
blowing up Tesla's Well. I just saw on X a
little while ago a video of a guy who has
a Tesla and he's like, look, I brought it for
the dog feature where you can leave your dog in
the car and it'll keep your air conditioning going, and
because it's good for the environment. And on the back
of it a Ukraine sticker and anti elon Tesla Owner Club.
(34:03):
And yet they still threw something at my car and
I just started laughing. I mean, I just started laughing.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
It was so funny. It was so so so funny.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Anyway, I also have one more story I want to
get in before we go to Rocky's spring training baseball,
and that is this, Go Woke, Go broke.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
This time we're talking about Nike.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Nike sales have dropped nine percent, which represents about one
point one six billion dollars in lost revenue. They have
warehouses full of products that they cannot move, and if
you are like me, you look directly back to their
hiring of Colin Kaepernick and their idiotic Olympic commercial where
they tried to tell women that sexism was the reason
(34:50):
that they can't succeed, when in reality, it's because they're
competing against men.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
All right, kids, we are going to take our leave.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
We'll be back tomorrow with a full show, Congressman Thomas
Matthew joining us.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Then Rockey's Baseball Now

Guy can the Noisy through Ray Bendy Connell keeping sad day.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Welcome, Welca, Welcome to a Monday edition of the show.

Unfortunately for us all, it's a tiny little show because
the final preemption of spring training baseball happens today at
one p m. As the Rockies take on someone for
the last game that winter up this program. Although on
Friday it is Opening Day. Now that doesn't mean Opening

I've got a rod keeping things on track as best
you can, as best they can. That's the key there. See.
I don't want to put too much pressure on you.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
I mean, because I know what a herculean task you
have every day just to keep me on track.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Okay, I know what's going on.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
All right, guys, I'm gonna jump right into the blog
because we do have a short show. Find the blog
by going to mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com.
Look for the headline that says three twenty four twenty
five blog Baseball at one, But why statons are bad?
First click on that and here are the headlines you

Speaker 2 (01:28):
Any in office half of American all with ships and clippers.
A team that's going to press plat.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Today on the.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
Blog, it's the last spring training game of the year. Today,
this side hustle is live. Good bills versus bad bills
in Colorado, before you pop that statn copshop. Cop shops
everywhere are undermanned. An intolerant man is charged for assaulting
a woman at a Durango gym. Canada says illegal immigrants
are bringing guns and drugs. How Aura is attacking the
(01:58):
TDA problem. Once Beach is compelled by government in dumb ways.
Colorado Democrats offended by the Bill of Rights. DIA is
the number two walking distance airport in the country. Democrats
are losing young people, go woke, go broke. Nike Edition
ESG Investing is dead in the US. About the crowd
(02:18):
claims that the Bernie aoc rally the bedeubling details of
the Khalio case. Rip mea Love can Jonathan Majors rehab
his way back into Marvel when college students find out
what they're chanting a real.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
House of marvel? Is this a six point shot?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Work life balance is for working on someone else's dream.
Guys who avoid prostate checks are more likely to die.
Honda cuts a deal with Toyota Toyota to avoid tariffs,
and I am anti this kind of toddler trickery. Those
are the headlines on the blog aatmandy'sblog dot com.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
And we got some good videos.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Obviously, the last video did not embed properly on the
last I'll fix that, but it's a.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Bit of toddler trickery.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
All if you've had a toddler, you know that on
occasion as a parent, you have to engage in some
kind of skullduggery to get the result that you want.
This is a couple of parents pretending that they're pouring
with cream into their little one's mouth, when in reality
they're squeezing vegetables, period vegetables. And though I appreciate the
(03:26):
craftiness of this, I also appreciate that it's not going
to do it in the long run. Do what they
think it's going to do, which is get the kid
need vegetables. You have to choose your battles, right, you
really do. You have to choose your battles on this stuff.
But I'm generally speaking, I'm pro sneaking vegetables into other foods.
You know, you can do that with a lot of
vegetables and a lot of foods. You can sneak all
(03:47):
kinds of vegetables into all kinds of foods with kids.
But I'm also pro having your kid understand that they
have to try something, and that we always used to
tell the que you have to try it with an
open mind. You can't try it when you think you're
gonna hate it, and then you say I'm gonna hate this,
but I'm gonna try it in that's not with an
open mind.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
And to this day, she'll try pretty much anything. Now.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
When she tries something and goes, ooh, I never want
to eat that again, I'm like, okay, that's fine.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
The kid will not eat cook carrots.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
She's like, cook carrots are the most disgusting vegetable ever,
And part of me is like, yeah, I could see it.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Sometimes they taste like dirt. You know, They're not as
bad as beats.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Now.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I love beats.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
To be clear, I am one of those people that
I love beats, but I totally understand when people hate
beats because on occasion you get a beat, it tastes
so disgusting you're like, oh god, I never want to
eat that again. And someone rightly points out, what, you
know what, that never happens with a rod. You never
have that happen with Dorito's. Now, do you know you
get a nacho cheese torito and they taste the same
(04:48):
every single time, that little bag.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Full of chemicals, they taste exactly the same every single time.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
We also have some good videos. Steph Curry, what would
you say, is that a six point shot? A ten
point shot?
Speaker 2 (04:59):
You win game?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
He is walking towards the tunnel and hurls the ball
all the way across the court and it just nothing.
But I know it was like a bowling shot, you know,
yeah it was. It's pretty impressive.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
That is why he's the best any point anything shooter
of all.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Well, I mean, do you think he could make that
shot twice or three times?
Speaker 4 (05:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
No, I don't either. I don't either, But once.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
It's spectacular, it's spectacular. We also have a Marvel house.
This would make a great short term rental where this
guy has decorated the outside of his house with my
lifetime Marvel characters.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
I sent you that in in privacy. You can't tell
people where I live. You can't show them my house.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
No, stop it, stop it. You wish it was your house?
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Damn Right, does Joscelyn know that this is going to
be happening at your house as soon as you can afford.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Some of these life size models?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Slowly trying.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
So okay, there's a little little, one little piece of
you know, memorabilia at a time.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, there you go. I have a very interesting video from.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
From Ben Shapiro, and it's a video of this young
man going to these protests anti Semitic protests college campuses
and asking college students what they're saying, not like, repeat
to me what you just said, but he's like, hey,
you're saying from the river to the sea.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Do you know what river and what sea? And of
course they're like, uh, what what do you what are
you talking about?
Speaker 1 (06:34):
And he asked one of the girls, so, were you
chancing bring back the ento fauda And she was like yeah,
He's like you know what that means, right, She's like no,
He's like, you're calling for the murder of all Jews
wherever they are.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And she was like, what, what?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
How?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
This is what I don't get And maybe maybe this
is so foreign to me because my father always, I
mean from the time I was little, my father didn't
ever tell me things about like taking care of you know,
my retirement planning or you know, how to invest, like
you didn't tell me any of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
But one thing he told me from a.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Very young age and reiterated is that, like whatever comes
out of your mouth is an indication of your character.
So if you don't understand something, you need to find
it out before you run around and parrot something that
you heard someone else say, because they may be idiots,
and you're gonna run around parrot something that idiots said.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And it stuck with me.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
So before I'm gonna chant something, I'm gonna understand what
I'm chanting. These college students apparently didn't get that message
from their parents. Now we're gonna you know what a rod,
let's talk about this this Jonathan Major's thing like on Friday,
because I think it's interesting and I think this video
that I have on the blog today and Jonathan Major
is an actor who was going to play the central
(07:46):
binding character for the next Marvel arc until he got
arrested for slapping a girl.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
For the non nerds think what they did with Fanos.
For quite a while, that was the that was the plan.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
Well, and he was simmarily dumped out of the Marvel universe. Well,
he's he's working to rehab his image, and I got
to tell you this video a good way to do it.
So we'll see if he can work his way back in.
Speaker 5 (08:08):
Yeah, now that you know, if it wasn't a Disney product, maybe,
but now that it is and has been, probably not.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
We'll see, We'll see, you know.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I happen to believe that once people, I mean he's
already he added it. Was it he found not guilty
or was he found guilty?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
You know, I figured hearing this, I was like, oh,
was he acquitted or you know, is he in the clear?
And not really, I mean parts of it were I
think stretched, But I think he was found guilty on
some of the issues.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So yeah, you know, I don't know. He was arraigned,
pretty sure he was guilty of some.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Let me see trial and conviction.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
He pleading not guilty to mister ener assault and harassment charges.
On December eighteenth, he was found guilty of one count
of reckless assault in the third degree and a charge
of harassment as a violation.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
He was acquitted of the more serious charges.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Okay, and he is going to be.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Sentenced or he was sentence.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
He was sentenced to fifty two weeks of a domestic
violence intervention program and probation.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
See here's my thinking, though.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Not very clear, but some of the stuff was, Yeah,
and you know, at what point do we allow people
to have a second chance, right what people do? At
what point do we say, Okay, look, you know you've
done this. Here's you, You've followed through, you've completed your
your you know, whatever it is, we have to allow
people to have second chances.
Speaker 5 (09:31):
I agree with you, and I'm not saying I agree
with what I'm going to say, but anything outside of Disney,
you'd be right.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
But I don't think Disney would take chances in that sphere,
in that realm.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
I don't. I don't their their brand can't in their
minds at all, possibly be tarnished with the possibility that
they have someone that could have potentially done that.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
I know that's a lot of strings, but I just
don't think I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
I don't. I don't.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
I can't really argue with that at all. So okay,
we've got to s short show today. I want to
start out by saying, over the weekends, former Congresswoman me
A Love passed away of brain cancer.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
She was forty nine years old.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
And normally I don't talk about someone who's not in
Congress anymore who's died, because you know, even the big ease,
I kind of just hold my fire. But this one,
she was very much a trailblazer. She was the first
African American woman elected by Republicans, She was the first
Republican African American woman sent to Congress from Utah. She
was just a really dynamic woman. I had the opportunity
(10:30):
to see her speak many years ago, and she definitely
fit the category of a happy warrior for conservative causes.
And she was another person that I felt did a
great job articulating why a smaller government, you know, free
market view of the world is a better place to go.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And I just wanted to make a note that.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
She is noteworthy not just because she was the first
black woman Republican elected to Congress, but because she was
such a great advocate for conservative ideals and conservative policy positions,
and it's a shame that she passed away so young.
Forty nine is just too young in my view. As
I said here at fifty five, forty nine is too
(11:16):
young to do that. Okay, guys, the side hustle is live.
I got a link on a blog today. I have
a link to Kevin Lundberg. He spent a lot of
time in the legislature, and now he is spending a
lot of time paying attention to the legislature. I actually
just reached out to him a rod to get him
on the show. But he does the Lundberg Report, which
(11:37):
is really good, and I don't know how it flew
under my radar until now.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
A little bit annoyed by that.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
And he's got a breakdown of what bills are working
their way through the legislature, and he breaks them down
by good bills and bad bills, and of course there's
going to be far more bad bills. And oddly enough,
you're going to be shocked to find out that most
of the good bills have been killed in committee by Democrats.
Killed in committee, killed in committee, killed in committee, killed
(12:06):
in committee, killed in committee, killed in committee killed in committee.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I mean, the Republicans are trying, you guys.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
One of the reasons I want to bring your attention
to Kevin's site is you need to know how hard
Republicans are trying in Colorado.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
You really do need to know.
Speaker 1 (12:24):
They're just so hopelessly outnumbered, completely hopelessly outnumbered, and they
just can't get anything done.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
So that is on the blog as well.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Today I have a very long column by a guy,
and I want to talk about this because I think
this is really important. So I started following this guy
at a substack called the Forgotten Side of Medicine. He's
a Midwestern doctor, is what he writes as, and he
writes very interesting stuff that was during COVID. He was
(12:57):
one of the first people that I saw that is
kind of questioning the narrative a little bit and talking
about things like doing a deep dive into what the
Pfizer papers did not say about the the COVID vaccine
and all of this stuff, and everything he said back
then turned out to be true. He was the first
(13:19):
person that I saw that said, yeah, this vaccine is
not going to prevent any transmission and Pfizer doesn't say
it's going to So when I saw this article on
the forgotten side of medicine called wire statins so dangerous,
I knew I was gonna read it first of all,
and then I knew I was going to share it
with you because millions of Americans are on statins right now.
(13:41):
Statins are drugs which lower cholesterol. And if you talk
to your doctor, if your cholesterol is a little high,
and my cholesterol is a little high, so my doctor,
I love my doctor, and she always says, you know,
you may want to consider a statin. I'm like, and
maybe I won't.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Maybe I won't.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
And I sent her this column for to read because
it's all footnoted. There's all kinds of references. You can
click through and look through all of them. But he
maintains that growing evidence that lowering cholesterol does not reduce
heart disease, the medical industry continues to push statins. Studies
have shown that the benefits of statins are minimal, with
(14:18):
data manipulated to exaggerate their effectiveness. They're aggressively promoted not
because of their efficacy, but due to financial interests in
the pharmaceutical industry. Guidelines on cholesterol and statins are often
created by experts who work for companies that make statins,
and many doctors and patients are actually penalized for not
(14:41):
taking a statin. I mean, it's crazy, and they have
significant harm and a large number of people are going
to have side effects to a statin. Now, if you're
on a statin right now, I don't want you to
throw in the trash. I don't want you to do
that because I'm not a doctor. I don't even play
one on the radio. I do, however, read a lot
of medical stuff. What I want you to do is
take this article into your doctor, ask them to read it,
(15:05):
ask them to click through the links, because unfortunately, doctors,
being as busy as they are, they are seeing patients
all day. I mean, I don't want to be a doctor.
It sounds like a horrible job. I'm not gonna lie,
but they're seeing patients all day. So the information that
they are getting about the drugs that they are prescribing
are coming from where the drug companies who want you
to buy them. So they're only getting one side of
(15:29):
this information. And there's a lot of evidence out there
that says, yeah, they might lower your cholesterol, but they
don't lower your chance of mortality with any significance. Let
me see if I can find this number very very quickly,
he goes. He goes to the history. By the way,
listen to this. In the nineteen sixties and seventies, a
debate emerged over what caused heart disease. On one side,
(15:51):
John Yutken effectively argued that the sugar being added to
our food by the processed food industry was the chief culprit.
On the other side, Ansel Keys, who attacked Yudkin's work,
argued that it was due to saturated fat and cholesterol.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Ansel Keys one.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Yudkin's work was largely dismissed, and Keys became a nutritional dogma.
A large part of Key's victory was based on his
study of seven countries Italy, Greece, Former Yugoslavia, Netherlands, Finland, America,
and Japan, which showed that as saturated fat consumption increased,
heart disease increased in a linear fashion. However, what many
(16:30):
don't know, as this study is still frequently cited, is
that this result was simply a product of the country's
keys chose. For example, if Finland, Israel, Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, France,
and Sweden has been chosen.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
The opposite would have been found.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So when you read this, you begin to understand how
captive our medical community is to the pharmaceutical companies. The
FDA has long been inhabited by people who just recycle
from the pharmaceutical companies to go ahead and get everything approved.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
And a lot of people are taking medicines that.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
Not only are not helping, they can actually be harmful
to your health. They could actually in some people some
we don't know. This is all just correlation, not causation,
but they have been shown to increase the chance of
type two diabetes.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
I mean, come on, you guys, listen to this.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Taking a statin daily for approximately five years resultant in
living on average. Hey Rod, how much longer do you
think taking a statin for five years resultant in people
living according to.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
This study, I don't know, tell me three to four
days longer.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
So for five years, every day you're taking a pill
that has side effects to live three or four days longer.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
I mean, it's just it's insane.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You've got to read this column, you guys, because ultimately,
what doctors should be doing is talking to people about nutrition.
What they're putting in their bodies, how they're moving their
bodies or not, and lifestyle changes that cost zero to implement.
But in most medical schools, if you get any nutrition
training at all, it's maybe a week, maybe a week
(18:14):
of nutrition training. So, guys, if you're on a stat
and take this to your doctor, ask them to read
it in its entirety and then have a conversation, because ultimately,
your doctors are being sold a bill of goods by
the people who are profiting from the drugs that they
are sending.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
To the doctors with this bill of goods.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
So and if your doctor is not receptive to having
a conversation about this, find a new doctor or ask
them what happens if patients don't take a statin?
Speaker 3 (18:42):
And what happens for you when patients do take a statin?
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Are they getting pressure from a hospital system, are they
getting pressure from drug manufacturers?
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Are they being.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Penalized in any way, shape or form. I'd love to
know the answers to these questions. All right, that's on
the blog today. When we get back, I've got to
talk about this story at Durango because it's so appalling
on so many levels. Durango did not shine. Let me
just say that we'll be right back after this on Kowa.
If we rented a bus to drive down to Pueblo
(19:11):
to go to Bojangles when it opened, and you guys
had to pay to get on the bus, because I'm
not paying for your bus, we should have the bow
Jangles Express when it opens. A listener actually suggested this,
but I need to make sure I have enough people
who would like It'd probably be like, I don't know,
like thirty bucks or something round trip to get us
down there and back. Although it's been a while since
I rented a bus, I don't know how much that
(19:32):
would cost. Just an idea I'm kicking around there. You
can text me on the Common Spirit Health text line
at five sixty six nine oh if you would like
to go with us on the Boajangles bus. Maggie Connall
Mini adventure, Yes, yes, a little baby adventure. I used
to do this stuff a lot when I worked for
other radio stations, but it just doesn't it's not as
(19:53):
organic as this is.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
Mandy does your study mention? Red yeast Rice.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I was told that the natural problem is what the
synthetic statin drugs were trying to mimic.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
The issue is and if you're just joining us, I
just shared part of an.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Article about statins and the statin article is on today's blog.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Go to mandy'sblog dot com.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Looks for the headline that says three twenty four to
twenty five blog on the latest post section and it
is the fourth article on today's blog.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
And it has a link to the column so you
can read it yourself. It is the The blog is up.
I don't know why you can't find it today. I
don't know. I do not know the answer, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
At my doctor's insistence, I've taken every kind of stat
and available. I was not able to tolerate any of them.
They are they make me so tired. I was not
able to function. I now have refused them for several years.
Here's the kicker, you guys. It appears that cholesterol plaque
may be a healing thing like you had damaged your artery,
and the cholesterol pack is how your body heals it.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
So we don't even know. We have no idea. I
want to go on that adventure. Great, Oh we got three.
We got three in.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
We're gonna need more, but we'll work on that later. Now,
I got to talk about this story out of Durango, Colorado.
So in Durango, there was a woman who, after recovering
from breast cancer, she finally got the clear to go
back to the gym and work out. So she's in
I believe, the Durango Rec Center and she's got her
hat on that says make America Healthy Again, Maha right,
(21:30):
and an old man walks up to her in the gym,
gets in her face, starts screaming in her face, and
eventually hits her hat like three times, trying to knock
it off right. Well, after the confrontation, the victim, Bernadette Lake,
went on Twitter and posted about the incident, was like, dude,
this is insane. And now the guy who yelled at her,
(21:54):
Donald Ratcliffe, sixty nine years old, of Durango. He's been
charged with disturbing the peace. An issue to summons on Wednesday. Now,
the only reason to bring this up is because it
is yet another example you can throw in the people
kying or trying to destroy or vandalize Tesla's.
Speaker 3 (22:12):
You can bring in all of.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
The people who've made Luis Luigi Mangioni into some kind
of cult hero because he murdered someone. You know, and
I'd never want to hear anybody on the left ever, ever,
ever again, ever, ever, ever again talk about violence on
the right, because violence on the right is nothing compared
(22:37):
to violence on the left, and they think they've got
the moral high ground. I can't wait till all of
these people who are being filmed desecrating Tesla's on the
tesla's camera get arrested and charged with domestic terrorism.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
I love that, I love it, love it now.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I don't think they're actually going to get charged with
domestic terrorism for king a car. The people being charged
with domestic terrorism are the ones throwing off Molotov cocktails everywhere.
So oh yes, a lot of people are in for
the bow Jangles Mini trip.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Mandy.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I love your show, but are your ratings so low
that you get pre emptied by Rockies preseason baseball?
Speaker 3 (23:13):
Let me just say this one more time.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
We are contractually obligated, due to us being the Rockies
home affiliate, to air a certain number of spring training games.
Because spring training games are almost all in the afternoon,
they are going to pre empt my show. It has
nothing to do with ratings, It has nothing to do
with anything else. It just has to do with the
fact that we are the Rocky Station and that is
(23:37):
part of the deal. So Mandy, I took statins for
a little over a year. My whole body ached every day.
I weaned off and told my doctor there's got to
be a better way. Yep, yep, yep yep. Now this
story out of Durango should be embarrassing to people. I mean,
(23:57):
I oh, by the way, as the guy was at
her and hit her hat to try and flip it off.
She's not a young woman and this is an older woman.
People applauded at the rec center because he was yelling
at her about her hat.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
A hat people, A hat A hat form.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
A woman who has worked in India trying to save
poor people by helping them get decent nutrition, a woman
who believes that our entire food system needs an overhaul,
a woman who just fought cancer, and this guy got
applauded at the Durango rec center.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
What is wrong with you?
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Durngo? I love Durrango. We had a great time in
Drango when we went down there many years ago. I
just don't understand why people can be so ugly and
then feel themselves to be mortally superior because of it. Yeah,
Mandy Statton's cause a reduction in cholesterol, which reduces your
body's ability to produce testosterone. Nobody talks about it.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Huh huh.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
January sixth was not violent for a vast majority of people.
Know it wasn't for a handful of people. Yes, it was,
But think about the difference between January sixth, one off
one incident and the ongoing vandalization molotov cocktails, people getting
attacked in gyms.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Now that's a thing.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Now, it is ongoing, and it is relentless, and it's
happening to people in normal communities.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
And it started way back when all.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
The people on the left were saying, Yeah, Sarah, hu
could be Sanders should not be allowed to dine out.
If you see a Republican in a restaurant, walk up
to them and scream in their faces. So, yeah, j
six not the finest moment, but a vast majority of
people that were there for January sixth did not do
any violence at all.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
They may have walked through the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
Some of them actually prayed. I know, so violent, those
violent prayers. Anyway, what the hell is Bojangles asked this texter.
It is some of the best fried chicken you will
ever have in your life at a chain, and they
have delicious biscuits, and they have dirty rice, which is fantastic.
And they're opening their first Colorado store in Preblo sometime
(26:10):
in the middle of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
And we're gonna make it. We're gonna make a bowj Angles.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
What's the word I'm looking for, pilgrimage, A pilgrimage to
bowch Angles. I wonder if I reached out to the
corporate offices, if they would like give us T shirts
or something for our pilgrimage.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
I wonder, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I've been watching a bunch of YouTube videos on health,
mainly about type two diabetes. One of the comments I
heard blaming LDL for artery disease is like blaming firefighters
for the fires they are fighting.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
And that's what people are starting to see.
Speaker 5 (26:41):
Now.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
What came first, you know, was the plaque there.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
There's just so much we don't know, but what we
do know is that statins are very very very dangerous
for very very very small impact.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
That's it, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Am I the only one who's thinking, why am I
not lucky enough for someone to confront me darned touton.
Speaker 3 (27:04):
Yeah, I don't like I don't like confrontation. I don't
like it.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
I never have.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
But I'm at the point now in my life where
it's not that I would welcome it, but I certainly
wouldn't back down. I would not back down. I would
give as good as I got. As they say, Mandy,
I got called a sea word for having a let's
Go Brandon on my car. I removed it. They took
away my freedom of speech. I live in Greeley. Conservative.
(27:33):
Was conservative the sea word or was it the other
sea word?
Speaker 5 (27:39):
I mean?
Speaker 1 (27:40):
And if you took it off because you got yelled at,
then you they did not take away your freedom of speech.
You took away your freedom of speech. I'm not saying
you need to put it back on there, but make
sure you understand you merely capitulated to the pressure. But
then again, I've never agreed with putting really confrontational bumper
stickers on my car. Why you're not gonna change anybody's
(28:02):
mind with that, please, Okay, We're gonna take a quick
time out back to wrap up the show before we
hand things over to the Rockies at one o'clock for
the last.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Spring training game.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Keep it right here on Kowe the chicken pilgrimage that
I'm gonna reach out to bow Jangles and say, Okay,
what are you gonna do for us if we do this?
Speaker 3 (28:20):
I'm dead serious. I freaking love their chickens so much.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
There are certain things that I missed from living in
the South, and having incredible fried chicken at multiple locations
is one of them, because fried chicken is God's perfect food,
except it will kill you eventually.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
But will it?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We don't know. We don't know.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
Anyway, got a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Of other stuff on the blog today that I'm not
gonna get to, but I do want to get into
this very very quickly. There's two things that have to
do with speech from the Colorado Legislature. Now, you know
that the Colorado Legislature is in session right now and
they are trying to find ways to make buying a
gun damn near impossible and make our lives a living hell.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
Add as many taxes and.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Fees to us, well, fees, but the reality is they're
just taxes without our permission. I mean, the legislature has
destroyed the business environment, and now they're working on the
free speech environment as well. John Caldera has a really funny,
as John Caldera is prone to do, column about a
law that is going to require a warning on gas pumps.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
The warning is gonna.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
Say, combustion of this product releases greenhouse gases known by
the State of Colorado to be linked to global heating
and significant health impacts.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Or are they gonna put that sticker on the outside
every Taco bell bag too? Are they gonna put that
sticker on every single thing that is.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
Delivered by a truck, which is all of them?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I mean, it's just so absurd, And John, of course
is making the point that is absolutely compelled speech. You
are compelling gas station owners to force to make a
statement that they don't want to get freaking love their chicken.
I did not freaking love their chicken. I would not
drop an F bomb on the radio. And trust me,
a Rod would be well, ah, yeah, no, no, freaking
(30:15):
I love their freaking chicken.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
I said freaking freaking chicken.
Speaker 1 (30:20):
Anyway, Now, the second story that I have today is
actually from Fox News, and it's just it's such a whopper.
It is so incredibly stupid. I just want to play
the audio from this very very quickly. This is uh representative.
Let me see who this is and make sure I
know who I'm talking about here. It's a representative I'm
(30:40):
not familiar with. So Colorado Republican State rep kindograph was
on the floor of the House.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Listen, listen, listen to this.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Anybody's wondering the reason that because I had to cover
up this and then they couldn't stand my sticker and
I had no I can't. We had it it said
shall not be infringed and signed to a and that
was considered offensive.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
So I'll just tell you what I say, A Eric.
Can you not hear him? I can't turn it up.
It's as loud as he's gonna.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Okay, So he's in the will, he's in the well
speaking to the House, and he's got a little post
it note on the back of his computer that he
was forced to put there because he has a sticker
that says shall not be infringed, signed Second Amendment on
his computer and that was deemed offensive by the Democrats
in the House of Representatives. So now they're offended by
(31:30):
the Constitution. I mean legit defended, because all that is
shall not be infringed is part of the Second Amendment.
Oh boy, now everybody's in for the chicken trip. Exciting, exciting,
my friends, exciting. So we've got Democrats compelling speech and
(31:52):
then blocking speech they disagree with. But they're the party
of freedom. That's what they tried to tell us in
the campaign. Now I have a couple of stories that
should be extremely concerning to Democrats and the Democratic Party.
According to AP vote cast analysis, President Trump won forty
seven percent of the eighteen to twenty nine year old
(32:15):
demographic in the twenty twenty four election. That is up
up eleven percentage points from twenty twenty. The rating in
this age group his approval rating since January, Trump's approval
rating has improved by nearly twenty three percentage points since January.
(32:35):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, but listen to this from a
different article. Finally, Shore provides some definitive evidence that Democratic
messaging about Trump's anti democratic characteristics.
Speaker 3 (32:46):
Fell on rocky ground.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
By an astonishing seventy eight percent to eighteen percent margin.
Voters said quote delivering change that improves American lives was
more important than quote preserving America's institutions. This finding suggested
in twenty twenty four and right now, Democrats should exploit
Trump's broken promises about the economy and other practical concerns
(33:12):
instead of focusing on how Trump has broken those promises.
But I think that is kind of the same. But
what are Democrats doing right now? As Trump is trying
to cut the government spending, they are trying to protect
the government institutions that young people have said they are
not interested in protecting.
Speaker 3 (33:33):
So go figure that strategy out.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
Howdy, Mandy, I'll drive down from northeast of Shyenne for
the chicken trip.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Oh, everybody's in it, Mandy.
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Maybe we should put a sticker on the environmental terrorists
blowing up Tesla's Well. I just saw on X a
little while ago a video of a guy who has
a Tesla and he's like, look, I brought it for
the dog feature where you can leave your dog in
the car and it'll keep your air conditioning going, and
because it's good for the environment. And on the back
of it a Ukraine sticker and anti elon Tesla Owner Club.
(34:03):
And yet they still threw something at my car and
I just started laughing. I mean, I just started laughing.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
It was so funny. It was so so so funny.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Anyway, I also have one more story I want to
get in before we go to Rocky's spring training baseball,
and that is this, Go Woke, Go broke.
Speaker 3 (34:25):
This time we're talking about Nike.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
Nike sales have dropped nine percent, which represents about one
point one six billion dollars in lost revenue. They have
warehouses full of products that they cannot move, and if
you are like me, you look directly back to their
hiring of Colin Kaepernick and their idiotic Olympic commercial where
they tried to tell women that sexism was the reason
(34:50):
that they can't succeed, when in reality, it's because they're
competing against men.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
All right, kids, we are going to take our leave.
Speaker 1 (34:56):
We'll be back tomorrow with a full show, Congressman Thomas
Matthew joining us.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
