Today's blog.

Speaker 6 (01:00):
You know, there's some days when I start the blog
because the way I do the blog is I go
through all the news and I have a bunch of
tabs up at the top, you know, and then I
go through when I read the news stories, and then
I eliminate tabs they don't make the cut, and then
I go back in and I put everything in the blog.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
So this morning I eliminated the.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
First round of tabs and I was like, oh, I
don't know, and then I did a fresh search, new eyes,
that kind of thing, and bada bing blata boom. We've
got tons of stuff on the blog now.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
So you're welcome, by the way for the extra effort.

Speaker 6 (01:30):
I realize it's a dark and gloomy Tuesday, but your
faithful talk show host is still working on your behalf.
Find the blog by going to mandy'sblog dot com. Mandy'sblog

twenty five blog A Titanic exhibit is coming along with
Irish dancing not together. Click on that and here are
the headlines you will find with it.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Tech twell, I didn't office half of American all with
ships and clipments that press plat.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
Today on the blog, a new exhibit on a famous
disaster hits down. Who doesn't love Irish music and dancing?
Representative Britney Petterson makes the loocke's own funding personal. Colorado
Democrats double down on sanctuary laws. More idiocy from DPS.
The real estate market is weird? How should Aurora deal
with protesters who won't stop that AI porn you're making

(02:21):
is soon going to be illegal. Tina Peters hits a
roadblock in her quest for freedom. No, we don't need
to change the name of Veterans Day. Can you change
lanes in an intersection? I wish Charles Harrington Elster we're
alive to see this. This is the thread on the
history of Gaza I mentioned yesterday. It's time to end
aid to Israel. This as Israel annihilates Youman's airport. Now

(02:42):
we're rewarding horribly racist behavior. Trump commencement address was telling
things aren't going so hot in China right now. Near
death experiences change the perspective on work.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Just Nolan being Nolan, Robots gone wild, Smile Bill, the.

Speaker 6 (02:58):
News has no sense of humor. No, the Broncos didn't
bid for the draft. Wow, nuggets got us.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
That's a record.

Speaker 6 (03:06):
Colorado isn't doing so hot under a democratic rule.

Speaker 5 (03:09):
Those are the headlines.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
I'm out of breath now on the blog at mandy'sblog
dot com.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
And if you heard yesterday's program, I've heard that was
a lot. I know some of us work hard for
our listeners. Ross Kaminski, you're making me.

Speaker 7 (03:24):
So we've all heard these stories like a new kid
gets a job and comes in and works real hard
and than the old people.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
Who are in the union. Yes, and you're making us
all look bad. Don't work that hard.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
Yeah, I feel like you're doing that to me with
all that much stuff on the blog.

Speaker 6 (03:38):
You know what I'm here for my listeners, Ross and
what you do or do don't do is none.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Of my concern.

Speaker 7 (03:42):
Can I just can I ask one thing and don't
give away too much because you might talk about it
on the show, But give me a hint of the
thing that you wish Charles Harrington Elster were around to talk.

Speaker 6 (03:53):
I was going to play it on the radio, but
it doesn't make any sense without the subtitles, okay.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
And it's just I love this girl.

Speaker 6 (03:59):
She does these very close her skits where she kind
of plays all these different characters. And in this skit
she starts out as the Oxford Comma and she's talking
to different forms of punctuation. It is absolutely brilliant. I
mean it is a must watch if you are in
any way, shape or form a language nerd because she

(04:19):
gives each punctuation mark its own personality and it is
spectacular and the Oxford Comma of course, you know the
droll l you people kind of you know, Oh it's
so sood. That is on mandy'sblog dot com. On today's
blog there Roskemenski. No, Charles would have loved that. I mean,

(04:39):
he would have.

Speaker 5 (04:40):
Laughed his head off.

Speaker 6 (04:41):
And if you don't know who Charles Harrington Elster is for,
I don't even know how.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
Long a couple decades.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
Maybe Charles Harrington Elster was a part of Mike Rosen's
show and then my show, and he just answered questions
about language and words and just grammar and everything, and
he was just he was a great great guests and
a great man.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
And I thought of him immediately when I saw that
fabulous because it's so well done.

Speaker 6 (05:05):
Okay, let's talk about why Ross is crashing my show now.
Yesterday I had an expert on I've never talked to
this expert as an expert before and after yesterday, forget
about it. Ross was actually part of a very very
very good paper. I did not put it on today's
blog too. It's on yesterday's blog a link to it.
But a great paper from the Common Sense Institute about

(05:25):
how relentlessly tabor and our taber refunds have been attacked
and what that means for us in real dollar terms
as individual filers. I mean it was it's very thorough
and it's infuriating when you realized that you should have
gotten maybe seven hundred and eighty six more dollars this year,
perhaps if they hadn't taken all of your refunds and

(05:47):
given them to other people.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
But Ross sent me a message.

Speaker 6 (05:50):
Today and said, uh, oh, I forgot something very important
in experting. I forgot to get to a point that
was a big point. So what point did you forget
to get to you?

Speaker 7 (05:59):
Yes, when you and I were talking about this yesterday,
you and I have the same feeling about it.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
We feel so.

Speaker 7 (06:04):
Viscerally about what the government is doing stealing all this money.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
So we just talked about that, and it's all important, olga.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
But there was a point I really wanted to make
that The actual smart person on this report his name
is Eric with a K, Eric gam and he's just
a brilliant researcher, much smarter than I am.

Speaker 5 (06:21):
At the Commons Ins Institute.

Speaker 7 (06:22):
In the first half of this report talks about the
benefits to the state from the fact that Tabor refunds
actually went back into the private sector and didn't stay
with government, right, And I didn't talk about this yesterday,
but based on Eric's analysis, he estimates that the fact
that government doesn't get to keep and waste that money
and it comes back to the private sector where we

(06:43):
can do so much more with it, much more you know,
positive multipliers, effect effects, and so on. He estimates over
fifteen thousand jobs a year are are kept or created
in Colorado because the Tabor refunds came back to us.
He estimated two and a half, I'm sorry, two point

(07:04):
eight billion dollars of additional GDP for the state and
over nine point six billion dollars of total additional personal
income to the people of the state of Colorado. And
that again uses his assumptions or the models assumptions for
multipliers of multiplier effects.

Speaker 5 (07:22):
But we get this money back and we get to
go do.

Speaker 7 (07:25):
Real things with it rather than have government wasted however
government wasted, and just the positive effects. Like you and
I focused on the negatives of government stealing all of
our money, right, but the positive effects of the.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
Money coming back to the people is just something I.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
Forgot to mention you that, and this is why I
worry about Colorado going forward. This entire thing I'm about
to say, Taber. The limits that Taber has put in
place that the Democrats really, really, really hate when it
comes to growing the size of government, are why we
are not in the same position that California is in
or Illinois is in, where they have spent themselves into

(07:59):
a debt hole that they are just clinging to until
the right amount of Democrats are at the federal level
so they can get a bailout from the fence. This
is what I predict for California, for Illinois, for all
of these you know, blue states that have spent themselves
into oblivion.

Speaker 5 (08:14):
And this is what I worry about Colorado.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
Because taper limits being what they are, they have curtailed
spending to a certain point. But when we have the
growth of government that we've had over the last five years,
all of those people in the retirement system, all of
those benefits that have to be paid now they're going
to unionize, so the costs are going to get even
higher in the next ten years. There's no way the

(08:37):
people of Colorado are going to be able to not
vote themselves at tax increase or the entire government's going
to collapse, and I don't want to be here when
that bill comes due.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
Look, I couldn't agree more, but I think we live
in a world, maybe at the federal level two, where
things are going to get worse until they are. The
pain is so bad. I mean, there's a reason my
son's middle name is rand right. And if you know
the story about the Shrug, it's basically this kind of
government scaring away all the productive people because they just

(09:08):
want to redistribute all the income. And suddenly the productive
people say I'm not playing anymore.

Speaker 5 (09:13):
We're gone. And you know it's it's a novel, but.

Speaker 6 (09:18):
It's playing out right now in California. They're losing a
New York state. They've lost so many high earners out
of New York State that they have like a billion
dollars in tax revenue that's.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Just gone because of those people.

Speaker 6 (09:31):
And all of the things that they engaged in and
did in New York that people are shrugging and leaving,
and politicians.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
Always think, what are they going to do? Where are
they going to move? No place is as good as
this place.

Speaker 6 (09:44):
Guess what, when you're talking about millions of dollars in
difference in tax burden.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
You can learn to love Nevada, you know what.

Speaker 7 (09:52):
I mean, Well, they are learning, They've already learned to
love Florida and Texas.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
I mean, this is the thing, and I just I
have great concerns.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
So I'm glad you guys did that aspect of it,
because that's the part. It's the same with the attacks
on oil and gas, Like, where do they think the
money that used to be generated by oil and gas
excise taxes and all of those other taxes that that
industry paid. Where do they think that money's going to
come from now that they've driven enough of it out
of the state to make an impact. It's just it's

(10:23):
it's so shortsighted, and I don't know how to how
to just appeal to the legislators to say, people will
change their their their minds.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
They will leave, and they seem to ignore that.

Speaker 8 (10:37):
Right.

Speaker 7 (10:37):
The people who do this stuff seem to think that
the rich, productive, successful people are just these sort of
inert amieva who won't react no matter how you change
the environment around them. And of course nobody's going to
react more than that. These people are rich for a reason.

Speaker 6 (10:51):
Exactly, and Colorado is one of the most beautiful places
I've ever been in my life. Yeah, But when you're
talking about the difference in a ton of money that
is just being skimmed off the top by the government.
I mean, people are going to make decisions in their
own best interest, and they can move anywhere.

Speaker 5 (11:08):
That's the other thing. They can move anywhere. It's not
like me where I'm like, can I afford to move
across the country, right, I mean, that's a big expense.

Speaker 6 (11:15):
These people can pick up and buy a new place
and be there in three months.

Speaker 7 (11:18):
So last thing I'll say on this it's not just
that they can move, or even that they will move
when the taxes get too high and so on.

Speaker 5 (11:27):
That I feel and I don't and I think you
probably feel.

Speaker 7 (11:31):
I don't know how many of our listeners do that
this is becoming a state where the serious entrepreneurs and
the people who either have businesses or want to start businesses.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Feel less and less welcome.

Speaker 7 (11:42):
Right. You feel like the government is trying to hurt
you instead of trying to help you. And why would
you go to or stay in a place like that.

Speaker 6 (11:53):
I don't know if you saw it or if you
talked about it, but TIAA, the big financial services for
they're moving the rest of their people out of Colorado.
They've offered them jobs in Frisco, Texas, but they're essentially
shutting their downtown office completely. They used to be one
of the biggest lesson wors what do you call so
it have less ease of in this office building and

(12:16):
now they're closing up shop.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
And it was like a blip on the radar. Why
is that?

Speaker 6 (12:20):
Why are they closing their office here? Who is asking them?
Why are you closing the office here? And what are
the answers?

Speaker 7 (12:27):
The answer is that democrats in the state legislature look
at them the same way that a leech looks at
the vein on my ankle, as.

Speaker 9 (12:36):
They should have washed that.

Speaker 5 (12:40):
Thank you very much, Thank you very much. Mandy.

Speaker 6 (12:44):
You trying to bump Ross's ratings or hurt yours? Yes,
I'm trying to just make Ross's better in mine work. No,
I you guys, that's my salty texture. By the way,
Ross salty about everything.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
Everything.

Speaker 6 (13:01):
Mandy and a Rod, what's going on with your broadcast?
I keep hearing bits and phrases being repeated. I know
you have a disclaimer at the beginning of the broadcast
that portions are pre recorded.

Speaker 5 (13:10):
But is all of your show prerecorded? Or is it live?

Speaker 10 (13:13):
Is the iHeartRadio app?

Speaker 5 (13:14):
And we are aware it's.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Okay, so it's glitching. The matrix, sir, is glitching. You
have to choose a pill coming up momentarily, right, that's red.

Speaker 11 (13:25):
Yeah, okay, we neo does We had to think about it. Yep,
come back some time.

Speaker 6 (13:32):
This question, why are so many rich people big time lips?
I have theories about this, which I will now share.
This is actually one of my favorite topics because this
is one of those things when I'm driving in silence.
This is the kind of stuff I ponder, and I've
pondered this particular question. Why are so many rich people
big time lips? We'll put them into two camps.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
One camp is inherited money. These are people whose parents
or grandparents created something amazing and it created a fortune.
And now now this inheritor is either working in the
family business or has just inherited gobs and gobs of
money from the family business. Think the left winger in
the Disney family or Pat Striker, who's husband Maybe I

(14:16):
can't remember who started their medical company.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
But they're inherited money.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
They themselves did not have to worry about making payroll,
did not have to sleep, you know, three or four
hours a night as.

Speaker 5 (14:29):
They built a business.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
They did not have to pour their own blood, sweat
and tears into building that business.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
So to them, money is easy.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Right.

Speaker 6 (14:38):
There's no blood, sweat and tears attached to the money
that they have, well not theirs. So it's really easy
for them to embrace the notion that somehow we should
give money away, we should take it away from someone
who did earn it through blood, sweat and tears and
give it to someone else because this rich person who
has never been invested in earning money that they themselves

(15:01):
had to earn. To them, money is no big deal,
like people just get more money. If we take this money,
they'll just get more money. Then there are the super
rich people who have built something, created something, made something.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Depending on what it is, it could be.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
Let's take Mark Zuckerberg as one example of the I'd
say easy money. Now, I'm not saying that working in
tech and building Facebook and all of the things that
he's done is easy in the sense that you know,
anybody could do it. But he became incredibly wealthy after
just a few years, so from his perspective, again, perhaps

(15:40):
money is easy. But I especially think with younger people
who have made a lot of money, they feel a
sense of guilt. They look around at people that haven't
and they feel some guilt that they've been successful.

Speaker 5 (15:51):
I reject the notion that if you work your.

Speaker 6 (15:53):
Butt off and you become successful and wealthy, that you
should ever ever apologize for that. I don't like this
sort of downplaying of success that has been happening for
the last fifteen years.

Speaker 5 (16:07):
Success should be celebrated.

Speaker 6 (16:10):
So you've got those people that earned it, but they
feel a sense of guilt or they want to make
sure that when the little people rise up, they have
the right reputation as being one of the good ones.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
So it's just an insulating measure.

Speaker 6 (16:30):
Now, there are also a lot of rich people that
are under the radar rich. I'm talking about people who
have Pat Striker's grandfather, thank you. They're under the table rich.
They're like Warren Buffett rich in the sense that Warren
Buffett still lives in the house that he's lived in
since nineteen fifty nine or some crazy number like that.
You know, he drives like an F one to fifty

(16:50):
or something.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
He's not flashy. He's incredibly wealthy.

Speaker 6 (16:52):
There's a lot of those millionaires out there, and I
think they tend to lean conservative because their wealth comes
from their blood, sweat and tears. They gave up years
of spending time with their family, of going on vacation,
of buying a new house, to dedicate themselves to making.

Speaker 5 (17:12):
It in business. And for them that.

Speaker 6 (17:15):
Money has value in a way that it does not
for people with inherited money.

Speaker 10 (17:20):
That's my theory.

Speaker 5 (17:22):
I think it's pretty good.

Speaker 6 (17:23):
Actually, I've mulled this over a whole bunch because it
just makes no sense to me. But that's because my dad.
Whatever my dad had when he passed away, and he
was not a wealthy man by any stretch of the imagination,
he earned every bit of it. The money that I
have or that I will have when I die, I've
earned every bit of it. I've gotten nothing from anyone,

(17:44):
no inheritance, no nothing. So yeah, money is a part
of my life. I tell this to my son. My
oldest son is more liberal than I am.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
It just is.

Speaker 6 (17:53):
And he made a comment once about inheritance tax and
I was like, wait a minute, what are that inheritance?

Speaker 5 (18:01):
Is right?

Speaker 6 (18:01):
Whatever nest egg I leave behind that is representative of
hours of my life that I trade it for money,
because that's what work is. You're trading hours of your
life for money. So you better love it or it
better pay really, really well, because you're trading hours of
your life for money. So to look at whatever I've
accumulated at the end of my life, as you know.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
Your heirs don't deserve that.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
They whoever I give it to is who deserves it,
because it's mine. This texter said, check out The Millionaire
next doore study books and audiobooks. I have not only
read that book, I've read the second book.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
I give that book to.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
College graduates because if you haven't read The Millionaire next Door,
it gives you a much different view of these everyday
millionaires that I'm talking about, and they're far more of
them than there are the people that we hear about
in the news all the time. So yeah, anyway, Mandy,
you just describe Boulder and Jared Polis as the two

(19:02):
types of lips. You know what, though, Jared Poulis made
his own money and Granity started with a big advantage
because his parents had money, but he had an idea
and he brought it to Fruition and I respect the
heck out of that. I will never ever, ever downplay
what Jared Polis created ever because I respect it and

(19:22):
I think you should too, even if you don't care
for his politics, you got to respect that. There's something
coming to the Exhibition Hub and joining me now the
executive director of Exhibition Hub, John Zoller, to talk about
an exhibit that I have a thinking feeling about.

Speaker 12 (19:35):
John, That's right.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
See what I did there was.

Speaker 12 (19:39):
An immersive voyage.

Speaker 6 (19:41):
An immersive voyage? Was that on on purpose as well? Immersive?

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Well?

Speaker 13 (19:45):
Yeah, I mean we created immersive experiences. So we did
Bubble Planet with dun van Go all over the country
and we wanted to take it to another level using
historical artifacts, this incredible story of Titanic, but placing you
in the story like never before.

Speaker 5 (20:02):
Okay, so what can people expect?

Speaker 6 (20:03):
Because I went to the Van Go exhibit, which was
very cool, but that was artwork projected on the walls
and everything, and it was very cool, but it was
sort of that was it. That's right, not to downplay it,
but that was it. But how is this different.

Speaker 13 (20:15):
So with a lot of immersive shows, and you know,
people say, oh, it's immersive, it means it's a projection
on the wall. But what immersive really means is it
takes you out of the every day. It places you
in a different environment. And with Titanic at Immersive Voyage,
we're taking all that stuff off the walls and giving
you sets that you walk through. You board the ship,

(20:35):
you become a passenger. On board the ship, we give
you a boarding pass. I gave you a couple of
yeah games, those are very cool. You walk the hallways
of the first class hallways, you explore the grand staircase,
the Titanic's first class dining room, and then we take
you to the night of April fourteenth, nineteen twelve, where
you're standing on the bridge and you're watching those ice

(20:57):
warnings come in. You go into the Crow's new and
you try to spot the iceberg before it appears. And
then you walk the hallways of the ship that are
crooked and are sinking. The ship is actually feels like
it's sinking around you. And then you're sitting in a
lifeboat watching Titanic go down while her wireless messages are
being sent out in SOS.

Speaker 5 (21:17):
Wow, that sounds really cool.

Speaker 13 (21:20):
I've done a lot of Titanic exhibits. I've done twenty
five years I've been doing Titanic exhibits. Right, this is
the best Titanic exhibit I've ever done. And the installation
in Denver at thirty nine hundred Allotti Street is the
best one I've ever seen.

Speaker 6 (21:34):
So let me ask you this because I I was
a theater major in college and I did a lot
of lighting tech because I just thought it was fascinating.
Is this about how do you go about creating that
immersive experience? Is it using projection and light?

Speaker 14 (21:48):
Like?

Speaker 5 (21:48):
How do you even begin the process? Do you storyboard
it first?

Speaker 13 (21:51):
So you know, you know, with every good play or
every good piece of content, it starts with the written
word and that idea that gets written down. So we say,
how can we tell a Titanic story in a way
that hasn't been told before? And what we did was
we said what were Titanic's final words right the ship herself?
And we went through all the wireless messages that she

(22:12):
sent throughout the entire journey, and we also really studied
those last couple of hours when Titanic was above water
sending out to stress signals, and we focused that on
an immersive experience, projection based but you're sitting in a
life size replica of a lifeboat, and from there we
built out. We said, okay, what other parts of the
story can we tell? So we tell the story of

(22:34):
all the lore, all the fascination with Titanic. We actually
have a lot of artifacts from the movies in the
first part of the in the first part of the exhibit,
and we have a big photo of the bio of
the ship where you can do your King of the
World show. So it's really just to lighten the mood
and say, you know, Titanic means something to everybody, we're
all drawn to it, but what does it mean to you?

(22:54):
And then we take you back in time to that
entire story of immigration, the creation of Titanic, boarding the
ship and exploring all of her opulent all of our
opulent staterooms and accommodations.

Speaker 6 (23:07):
Why do you think this story is so enduring? Why
is there still so much interest in something that happened
over one hundred years ago.

Speaker 13 (23:13):
Well, Titanic really is the Greek tragedy of our modern era.
It has over two thousand people on board. It's the
largest moving object ever created, it's unsinkable. All the Hubrists
and all the fanfare around it, all the hopes and dreams,
and then the cruel hand of fate and Iceberg and
the exact spot Titanic was in the middle of the ocean,

(23:36):
in the middle of the night. It's a story that
you couldn't make up. It's so unreal, but it's something
that really happened. And no matter where you are in
your life, as you journey through your life, there's going
to be some person on Titanic that you can relate to.

Speaker 12 (23:50):
Because every class, every.

Speaker 13 (23:52):
Age, every hope, every dream were represented on board that ship.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
Tell me a little bit about the nuts and bolts here.
You just mentioned that it is at the exhibit exhibition
Hub Art Center. That's thirty nine hundred Elotti Street, kind
of at the intersection of I seventy and I twenty five.

Speaker 5 (24:08):
What exit do you use to get off there?

Speaker 13 (24:10):
I'd have to check Google Maps, use Google maps. What
is the is the assembly? Student housing is also part
of it, so that's a good way to find it.
And you know, as a lot of people want to
bang goo, a lot of people want to bubble plant
the same exact space.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Okay, what's the price on this?

Speaker 13 (24:25):
So we're starting at twenty eight eight ninety five and
then we go up from there.

Speaker 12 (24:30):
We do have some student tickets.

Speaker 13 (24:31):
That are in the lower twenties, and then there's a
standard ticket and we also do have a VIP ticket.
Either way, you can also experience the virtual reality, which
we haven't talked about.

Speaker 12 (24:43):
I can tell you about.

Speaker 13 (24:45):
But in the virtual reality, you actually dive to the
wreck of the Titanic.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
So do you do that with VR goggles?

Speaker 12 (24:51):
VR goggles?

Speaker 10 (24:52):
Okay?

Speaker 13 (24:52):
And you can see the wreck of the Titanic better
than if you actually dove to it in a submersible.
So it's an incredible experience. So all this stuff we've
talked about obviously excites me a lot.

Speaker 12 (25:04):
It's an incredible show.

Speaker 13 (25:05):
But the virtual reality it's worth it's worth the price alone.
It's worth a visit alone, just to go see that
VR in action.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
What are the dates on this?

Speaker 13 (25:15):
So we're opening Thursday and we're here through the summer.
Oh okay, good, and hopefully we'll be able to extend
with the support of the community. It's kind of how
we see how people like it. There's been a lot
of interest so far. We're open every day except for Tuesdays.
During the week we open at ten and on the
weekends we open at nine thirty.

Speaker 6 (25:32):
About what timeframeer you looking to have the whole experience?
How long does it take?

Speaker 13 (25:36):
I would say you could you could do it in
sixty minutes, but it's really more like a ninety minute
experience because there's so much to take in, and if
you really want to make more of a day of it,
you could spend a couple hours in there.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
Okay, John Zallar, I really appreciate you coming in. This
sounds absolutely fascinating, and I've had the opportunity, like I've
been to the Titanic shipyard and stuff like that, so
it's it is interesting that it's still so fascinating, and
it just to your point, the egos that led to
the loss of so many lives, you know, it is

(26:11):
it is kind of you know, flying.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
Too close to the sun a little bit, isn't it.
It is a little bit.

Speaker 13 (26:16):
It's also just that the power of a tragic story
draws us in because we see every aspect of humanity
revealed in those moments, and you really do get that
on Titanic. I mean, you're going to have that boarding
pass with that passenger's name on it, and you're going
to check at the end and see if your passenger
survived it was lost. And that makes it really real
for everybody in terms of Wow, this is a real story.

(26:38):
Real people were affected by this. There's always something more
to learn from Titanic. I do think the hubris element
is definitely one that we learn about, but there's always
something new to learn about from Titanic from the story itself.

Speaker 6 (26:52):
I have one question from the text line. Can you
ask why Rose didn't move over and make room for
Jack on the floating door?

Speaker 13 (26:59):
I get that question every time there's there was room
on that door.

Speaker 5 (27:03):
There absolutely was room on the door. Rose just was
just too much of a door.

Speaker 6 (27:07):
Hoog to let it happen anyway. I'm just kidding John.
Thank you so much, Ken. This is gonna be a
stellar exhibit. I put on the blog today. I put
the links so you can go to mandy'sblog dot com
and click over and get your tickets. Now, I think
I'm gonna come do this. This sounds really really cool.

Speaker 12 (27:23):
You're gonna love it. Yeah, you're gonna You're gonna love it.

Speaker 6 (27:25):
So it's it just sounds interesting and different, and I
love a good cruise ship, so I'd like to tour
this one.

Speaker 5 (27:30):
There you go, you get the footage or did you?

Speaker 6 (27:33):
How did you create the footage of the name, staircase
and all of that stuff?

Speaker 13 (27:37):
So, uh, all the recreations that we did, so all
the sets that we made were built from the actual
Titanic builders plans, So everything you see in there is
a one to one recreation of the sets. When it
comes to the storytelling of the actual immersive and the sinking,
we used video animation. Obviously, we got this great model

(27:57):
of the Titanic and floated on the over and you know,
figured out exactly how to break it, break it up, right,
you see it sink.

Speaker 12 (28:04):
Oh wow, sitting in life, but you see it go down.

Speaker 13 (28:07):
And then for the VR, we created a model from
all the incredible scans that have been done over the
past forty years of the of the wreck itself, and
we take you down there and you do this incredible tour.
It's like visiting Halloed ground right right.

Speaker 5 (28:21):
Sounds very very cool. Check it out. I got a
link on the blog today John thanks so much for
your time.

Speaker 12 (28:25):
Man.

Speaker 5 (28:26):
We will be right back.

Speaker 6 (28:27):
I've got a story from the Denver Gazette today about
the real estate market. And you know, I always try
to keep you up to speed on the real estate
market in case you want to sell, need to sell,
or just want to know what the home value is doing.
As for most of us, our homes are our biggest investment.
I like to know what's happening in the market and
very interesting stuff right now. And I have to say,

(28:48):
it's just the market is weird. It's very weird. The
number of homes for sale is up in the Denver
metro The number of active listings at the end of
the month swared more than seventy percent compared to a
year ago. So we got more houses on the market.
But are people buying, Yes, yes they are. The officials

(29:13):
from the Denver Metro area are excuse me. Denver Metro
Association of Realtors described Denver's home sales market as moving
forward with cautious momentum, driven more by life changes than
by speculation or urgency. What that means, that's that's code
for buyers are being very picky.

Speaker 5 (29:33):
But the numbers are good.

Speaker 6 (29:35):
Sales prices grew modestly, with the average sales price reaching
seven hundred thousand, two hundred and twenty two thousand. Wait,
seven hundred and twenty two thousand, seven hundred and ninety
that's up three point five to six percent from March
and down less than a percentage point from April of
twenty twenty four median prices.

Speaker 5 (29:56):
That's the center more.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
You know where that halfway mark is with six hundred
and seven thousand dollars up one point five to one
percent month over month and zero point eight thirty percent
year over year.

Speaker 5 (30:08):
So what does this mean.

Speaker 6 (30:09):
It means that the real estate market, it's not a
buyer's market.

Speaker 5 (30:14):
It's not a seller's market.

Speaker 6 (30:16):
It's a you better have the right real estate agent
or your house could sit for a really long time
kind of market. And you know who I'm talking about anyway,
real quick, I want to weigh in very very quickly
on the Tina Peter stuff.

Speaker 5 (30:32):
Since I did the blog.

Speaker 6 (30:33):
I have a story on the blog today about how
and why a federal judge rejected Tina Peter's claims of
habeas corpus.

Speaker 5 (30:43):
She's trying to get out of prison.

Speaker 6 (30:45):
As her appeal works This way through the courts, which
is not something that never happens, especially for non violent offenses.
But she made a few arguments in her request that
she did not give any backing evidence for. So the
judges kicked it back to Tina Peter's team and given
them thirty days to respond to decide how she wants

(31:05):
to move forward.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
So that's delayed even more.

Speaker 6 (31:09):
But there's a lot of questions about whether a federal
judge can even intercede here. In the first place, she
was found guilty of violating state law. She wasn't found
guilty of violating federal law. These are state laws she broke,
So I'm not sure what a federal judge has to
do with this. But then Donald Trump sent out on

(31:30):
a truth social where every good you know presser comes
from these days, and said Tina Peters should be freed
from prison. Well, why why should Tina Peters be freed
from prison?

Speaker 5 (31:42):
She was found guilty by a jury.

Speaker 6 (31:44):
Now, this wasn't a judge only trial. A jury found
her guilty. She was prosecuted by a Republican.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
And now for just because.

Speaker 6 (31:54):
The president says she should get that's not okay. It's
not okay if a Democrat doesn't, it's it's not okay
if a Republican does it. It's not okay to just
randomly go my political allies should be able to get
away with anything, which is essentially what he's saying, because
nobody's saying she didn't do what she was found guilty of.

Speaker 5 (32:14):
That's the thing. Nobody's saying.

Speaker 6 (32:16):
She didn't lie, give access to her computer systems to
a guy who did not have any kind of background check,
used someone else's ID to help him get into the system,
turned off security cameras so they wouldn't catch her doing this.

Speaker 5 (32:33):
It doesn't matter what her motives were.

Speaker 6 (32:37):
It doesn't matter that she thought she was finding all
kinds of fraud that she never found. What matters is
she violated the laws that she was entrusted in executing
as being in charge of these elections. So that's all
I'm gonna say about Tina Peters. I realized she still
has a lot of supporters. I truly don't understand why.

(33:01):
I really don't. There were so many other.

Speaker 5 (33:05):
Ways that are outlined in statute that she could have
protested the results of this election. You can look at
other counties who did follow the rules nobody in those
counties are going to jail. So the notion that somehow
that she's supposed to get out because Donald Trump said
she should get out is just ridiculous, especially in this state.

Speaker 6 (33:30):
There's not a Republican power to be seen here. So yeah,
I mean, I don't know. I just think to myself, like,
this is the hell you're gonna die on. This is
this is it? This is what you've chosen. I mean,
don't get me wrong, I've chosen some dumb things in
the past as a hill to die on, but this one,

(33:50):
there were such clear violations of the law by Tina Peters.
And it doesn't excuse your motives just because your heart
is pure. It doesn't mean you get to break the
law with impunity, as she's now finding out. When we
get back, we have our second guest, and I'm kind
of excited because I bet she has an Irish accent.

Speaker 5 (34:10):
This is a she, right, a aert? Is it a she?
We don't know.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
I will be honest about Irish names. Sometimes it looks
looks like a dude name, but it turns out to
be a woman's name. But I believe it's Alia O'Hare alia.
She's joining us next to talk about something fun right
after this.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
No, it's Mandy Connell and Dona Ka.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Ninety one FM.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
Got the nice through Rame Andy Connell.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
No sad thing.

Speaker 5 (34:55):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.

Speaker 6 (34:57):
You took a second hour of the show. I have
a public service announcement. Via the text line, it just
says this is a public service announcement. I've bought our
forecast for Woodland Park saying we would get twenty one.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
Inches of snow with total BS.

Speaker 6 (35:09):
However, we already have three inches sticking down the pavement
more than that on the ground in sixteen hours to go.
So that is your public service announcement. I have more
good news for you, and it has to do with
a show that is making its way in multiple venues
across Colorado and it is called The Taste of Ireland.
And I'm thrilled to have one of the extremely talented dancers,

(35:32):
Aleah O'Hare on the show with me right now to
talk about a Taste of Ireland.

Speaker 5 (35:37):
First of all, Leah, welcome to the show. Thank you,
Thank you for having me.

Speaker 6 (35:42):
I love that you've got your best pro shop trucker
hat on Where did that?

Speaker 5 (35:46):
Where did that come from? We picked that up?

Speaker 8 (35:50):
I think it was in some part of Tennessee anyway,
or Texas.

Speaker 5 (35:55):
One of the two.

Speaker 8 (35:56):
But yeah, we all we all love a bass pro shop.

Speaker 5 (35:59):
So we all went and grabbed one.

Speaker 6 (36:01):
Well, very stylish and now you're practically American. Just to
let you know if you get a Bucky's T shirt
at some point in that citizenship right there.

Speaker 8 (36:10):
Oh, I've tried, but they didn't have them in my
side terribly.

Speaker 5 (36:15):
Let's talk a little bit a taste of Ireland.

Speaker 6 (36:18):
It is a It is a spectacular show and I
have had multiple occasions where I've been able to see
specific performances of Irish dance.

Speaker 5 (36:27):
I love Irish music.

Speaker 6 (36:28):
You guys have put it all together, and this looks
like extremely high energy.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
I mean, am I am I right in thinking?

Speaker 8 (36:37):
Yes, definitely, it's definitely high energy, which is great because
then the crowds feel the energy, and you know, it's
so easy to be high energy when you've done with
some of your best friends and perform them with some
of your best friends. And I felt like the audience
can really seen off that. And then they become high energy,
and yeah, everyone's always up on that feet, hopping along.

Speaker 5 (36:57):
It's great.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
Let's talk about this Irish dance for a moment because
it is very specific, it's very precise.

Speaker 5 (37:05):
It looks really.

Speaker 6 (37:06):
Hard to me as fast as your feever. That looks
really hard. How long have you been dancing?

Speaker 8 (37:12):
So I'm at twenty two now, and I've been dancing
since i was six, So yeah, I've been dancing for
a very long time. And I think everyone in the
company started with obviously doing competitions, and we all competed
on a world class level, and then we auditioned for
the show, and we decided to take it, you know,

(37:34):
into a performance level. And I've been with the show
now since I started in twenty nineteen. I did a
short stimp with them, and then I rejoined in twenty
twenty two and have been touring with them ever since.

Speaker 6 (37:49):
So let me ask this, because I mean, you guys,
how hard do you rehearse or workout or exercise or
whatever while you're on tour?

Speaker 5 (37:57):
Because this how long is the show?

Speaker 6 (37:59):
It looks like workout in and of itself, So how
much more do you get?

Speaker 8 (38:02):
The show is definitely a workout.

Speaker 5 (38:04):
It's two hours long with.

Speaker 8 (38:06):
A twenty minute intermission, and we do a lot of dancing.
The dancing is all live, so you know, you've definitely
got to rehearse for a while. We always do rehearsals
for about a week before the show starts, but we've
all been doing the show for a while, so you know,
even before rehearsals, we'll make sure we go over all

(38:26):
the steps and drid all the steps. Because it's live.
You know, you can't miss any beats. There's no no
no covering you. And then mask run tour. You've got
to stay healthy. You've got to eat good. You know,
you've got to go to the gym, make sure you
because it's some of the dancers are long as well,
so you've got to have the fitness to keep going.

Speaker 5 (38:47):
And yeah, doing it every night. So it's fun.

Speaker 6 (38:50):
You guys are traveling all over the place. And what
I always find fun in Saint Patrick's Day here is,
as you now know, is a massive holiday. And yes,
for some reason everybody thinks that they are Irish when
you guys are out in it. Do they tell you like, oh,
my great grandfather's second cousin was from Ireland.

Speaker 8 (39:09):
Yes, everyone loves everyone always has. I feel like in
America and at home, everyone always has a little bit
of Irish in them and everyone wants to be Irish.
So it's definitely fun.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
So let me talk to you.

Speaker 6 (39:20):
A little bit about the tradition of Irish dancing in
Ireland because you started when you.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Were six years old.

Speaker 6 (39:26):
How important is Irish dancing culturally within Ireland.

Speaker 8 (39:31):
Yeah, it's definitely very important. You know, it's a big
part of the culture. And I think even if you
don't have any Irish in you, the show takes you
all through Ireland's history. It takes through the tultuous parts,
and then it also takes you through some of the
fun parts, like the hurling and all good things like
that through music and dancing. So it's good to learn

(39:55):
if you don't know anything about Ireland, but if you
do have Irish cultural or background, you think it's a
great way to connect to that. And it's so nice
for me as my family is Irish, so it's a
great way for me to connect. Well, you guys are
heritage to you.

Speaker 5 (40:08):
Guys have shows.

Speaker 6 (40:09):
Let me read all of these off that are within
driving distance. Starting Sunday, May eighteenth. You guys are in Greeley,
then Parker, then Colorado Springs, then Grand Junction, then Denver,
then Cheyenne, and then Laramie. So that's within our reasonable
radio broadcast era.

Speaker 5 (40:26):
Actually, let me go ahead.

Speaker 6 (40:27):
They're going to be a Lincoln, Nebraska too because we
have people who listen up there as well. So you
have tons of dates coming up, and the tickets are
very reasonably priced. When you guys are doing these shows,
what kind of I mean, I imagine the reaction has to
just be incredible.

Speaker 8 (40:44):
Yes, we love touring America because the reaction is always incredible.
The crowds, you know, they love the show. They're always
up on their feet by the end of it. They're
always singing along. And after the show we always do
pot that's called sign and so we go out and
we can take pictures with the crowds and speak to them,

(41:06):
and you know, they always love it. So yeah, it's
it's definitely very rewarding.

Speaker 5 (41:11):
Aliah O'Hare is my guest.

Speaker 6 (41:12):
She is a dancer with a Taste of Ireland, which
is a show that is coming all over the place.
As I just said, they have tons of dates. Although
I did look earlier a lot of these dates only
have like a few single tickets here and there, so
it's I know, the show in the Springs has some
good seats still available. The Show and Parker is almost
sold out, So if you're gonna buy tickets, you're gonna

(41:34):
buy them like today for these shows.

Speaker 5 (41:38):
Aliah, I hope you enjoy you've gone to.

Speaker 6 (41:40):
You've got a lot of smaller towns, which is kind
of really cool, I'm guessing for.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
You, because you get to see the whole country.

Speaker 8 (41:50):
Yes, definitely, it's definitely so cool. And to see the
difference as well between the smaller towns and then obviously
we do the bigger towns too, so it's nice to
see the difference in the comparison between the two.

Speaker 5 (42:02):
Sounds like you really have to America.

Speaker 6 (42:05):
Yeah, I mean, but where are the places that if
somebody that you knew back home said where should I
go on.

Speaker 5 (42:09):
Vacation, what would you say?

Speaker 8 (42:12):
Well, I love, love, love the cowboy, the cowboy vibe.
So I love Tennessee and I love Texas, but I'm
really excited to go to Colorado because I've never been,
so yeah, have you. I'm really excited And I know
that Denver and Colorado Springs. It looks it looks quideous,
very excited.

Speaker 6 (42:33):
Well, I didn't know you'd never been here before, because
I was going to ask you, do you know about
altitude because altitude is weird tough. Yeah, drink lots and
lots of water before you get here, lots and lots
of like excessive amounts of water.

Speaker 11 (42:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (42:47):
We did another few shows that the alsitude was very,
very high, so we're used to it. It makes it
a little bit harder, but it's it's a good challenge.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
Well, you know football teams that come to play our
football team here in the Mile High they have oxygen
tanks on the sideline, so there, guys can suck oxygen.

Speaker 5 (43:04):
Do you guys have oxygen backstage?

Speaker 8 (43:06):
But we don't, but we were, we were looking into it,
so we might might be getting some for Colorado.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
We'll see.

Speaker 8 (43:13):
But we're all very fit.

Speaker 5 (43:14):
So we can we can, we can survive.

Speaker 6 (43:17):
I can't even imagine dancing like you guys dance at altitude,
so I may have to come see you just to.

Speaker 5 (43:23):
Watch you pull it off. Yes, yes you should, Alio Hare.

Speaker 6 (43:27):
Thank you so much for making time for us today.
I've got the link to a Taste of irelandshow dot com.
I've got it on my blog at mandy'sblog dot com.
Go and buy your tickets today. Aliah, thank you so.

Speaker 8 (43:38):
Much, thank you for having me.

Speaker 5 (43:40):
Thank you all right, by bye.

Speaker 6 (43:43):
What a lovely accent, one of our text line, says Mandy.
Just listening to her voice, I could be in love
me too, because she was super cute as well, extremely cute,
and she had the accent, and she's a dancer.

Speaker 5 (43:56):
Stop it.

Speaker 6 (43:58):
When I was in elementary school in my small little
town that I grew up in, the only private school
when I was in school was a Catholic school and
it was Epiphany Catholic School, and they had Irish Catholic
nuns that were in the convent, and we had an
Irish Catholic priest.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
And so Sister Anne was so scary. She was so
so scary.

Speaker 6 (44:25):
And I've mentioned before she had a paddle that she
called the Panacea, which I didn't understand how funny that
was until much later. But she was really scary, very stern,
very stern woman. But when we were done with lunch,
she would come out on the playground with us and
she would teach us how to do the Irish Jig,
not remotely what they do with this show.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
But I still remember.

Speaker 6 (44:45):
The basic steps of the Irish jig, which I don't
know how different that is, but it was just it
was so much fun.

Speaker 5 (44:50):
And she would tell.

Speaker 6 (44:53):
Tell us about doing the Irish Jig when she was
a girl in Ireland and it was It was one
of those humanizing moments that when you're a little kid,
you don't think of these big, scary people as you know,
just human beings who have a life. It was just
very very cool. Mandy, thank you for letting me know
about this performance. I went to the River Dance performance
decades ago and loved it. Just popped on and bought

(45:14):
my tickets and we're going to go on May twenty fourth.

Speaker 5 (45:16):
There you go.

Speaker 6 (45:17):
And that's why we do these interviews because a lot
of stuff flies under the radar. No, it was not
dualalipa texter, not at all. And the Mandy Connell song
does not say Mandy Connell ruined the day.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
Rules rules, the day rules.

Speaker 10 (45:35):
Rules.

Speaker 5 (45:35):
It's not ruined, Anthony. I mean, stop it.

Speaker 10 (45:39):
Two syllables and rules isn't too syllables.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
I would to respond to a text message that I
got prior to the break at the bottom of the hour,
And I don't know what inspired it, because I honestly,
once I say it on the radio, I don't remember
it anymore.

Speaker 6 (45:51):
So I don't remember what happened at the end of
the hour. But nonetheless, the text message just says, Mandy,
is there any thing that Trump is doing that isn't
authoritarianism at this point? And I'm genuinely confused by this,
because everything that he's doing that maybe you're saying is

(46:13):
authoritarian is merely rolling back true totalitarianism, you know, when
you think about things that we have dealt with in
this country that are stupid.

Speaker 5 (46:28):
Oh oh, I'm gonna tell you guys a story. Ayrod,
you are not you get ready? Get ready? Okay.

Speaker 6 (46:34):
If you're driving, you may want to pull over before
this story. So I met the my nephew's wedding this
past weekend and I was talking to a very good
friend of mine. She was speaking with her longtime family doctor.
They've been seeing him for decades. They become very.

Speaker 5 (46:47):
Friendly with him. Great guy, love him whatever.

Speaker 6 (46:50):
His son is in the process of graduating from Columbia
Medical School to be an obstetrician ng yn as part
of his final board exam, he had to do an
actual pelvic exam on a patient.

Speaker 5 (47:06):
They evaluate how.

Speaker 6 (47:07):
He does a pelvic exam as an obgyn. And for
those of you who don't know what an obstetrician or
gynecologist is, obgyn they deliver babies and deliver women's healthcare,
meaning when you go in for a pelvic exam where
they remove cervical cells so they can make sure you
don't have cancer. As you can imagine, it's pretty invasive.

(47:29):
He has to do a pelvic exam as his final
guys gals. They brought him a trans woman, a trans
woman with male genitalia. Now he's sitting in front of
a board of doctors they're evaluating him on his pelvic exam,

(47:54):
and they have brought him a man who's dressed like
a woman. He was forced to pretend to deliver a
pelvic exam to a man dressed like a woman, who,
by the way, was visibly excited throughout the entire endeavor.
We are living in lunacy. We are living in the

(48:19):
world of.

Speaker 5 (48:19):
The mad Hatter.

Speaker 6 (48:20):
It's like we've dropped into the rabbit hole and we've
all been dosed with acid and they're trying to tell
us things that are obviously not true, and yet.

Speaker 5 (48:30):
We're supposed to believe them. You could put Jared Polis.

Speaker 6 (48:34):
Saying that Colorado is in a sanctuary stage into this category.
You can say that, yes, please do a pelvic exam
on a mail to pass your final exam. By the way,
I'm so gobsmacked. I never found out if he passed.
I think he did. I don't know, but I'm calling
Columbia's Medical school to ask if that is a possibility.

(48:55):
I want to find out if this is true, and
if it is, I'm going to make sure that everyone
in the entire world world knows the insanity going on
at Columbia's medical school. And I got to tell you,
I'm gonna be looking at people's medical degrees when I
go into a new doctor now. So crazy, absolutely nuts, Mandy,

(49:16):
I thought you rude the day makes me want to
kiss this guy and eat some effing pie. Yep, yep, Mandy,
I hear it all the time. Definitely says ruins the
day A lot to live up to, but keep trying.
You know what, text her, I never give up, never surrender,
never give up. Mandy not accent Brogue, Rocky Mountain, bronxpill.

(49:40):
You're correct, Mandy red Hair to know this girl was blonde,
she was hot.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
Wasn't she a rod? Did you see her? Did you
even look at her?

Speaker 10 (49:48):
I work back here.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
Uh uh huh mm.

Speaker 6 (49:53):
The story about the doctor example for Columbia University.

Speaker 5 (49:56):
I hope to hell it is not true.

Speaker 6 (49:58):
Me too, But this came from an extremely reliable source,
someone I've known my entire life, almost with absolutely no
reason to disbelieve. So there's a guy and I want
to say he's in France. I had this story on
the blog like four or five months ago, long time
a gynecologist in France and a trans woman calls to

(50:23):
make an appointment with this gynecologist, and the gynecologists was
very is like, look, that's not my specialty. You don't
have the parts for me that I'm that I'm you know,
here to fix. And the transman filed a complaint and
the French doctor was forced to apologize for not doing
a fake pelvic exam on someone without a cervix, a

(50:47):
real vagina, or any of the other parts that women have.
They have cosmetically created. Maybe, but I don't even know
if this guy even had that. When you are encouraging
that level of mental illness and do not tell me
that that is not mental illness. To believe that though
you don't have the same parts, though you don't have

(51:08):
the parts that that doctor.

Speaker 5 (51:10):
It'd be like me going for a prostate exam. Could
you imagine just going into my doctor and saying, you.

Speaker 6 (51:16):
Know what, I can feel it, I think I have
a prostate issue. I think I need a PSA test,
and I need a prostate exam.

Speaker 5 (51:23):
My doctor would be like, you don't.

Speaker 6 (51:25):
Have that part. That's not a thing you have in
your body. And they're supposed to what indulge the illusion
for me? No, no, no, no, no no. We can
still be kind to trans people while also saying this
particular part of the delusion is not happening. You don't

(51:48):
have these parts, You're not going to have these parts,
So having this kind of doctor look at you makes
no sense whatsoever. Which I'm guessing is what would happen
if I went to the doctor and asked for you
know what, I think I might have testicular cancer.

Speaker 5 (52:02):
Can somebody check that out? Can you just give it
a give it a look? See what are they gonna
do a What are they gonna cut my fake you
know whats I mean?

Speaker 6 (52:10):
Come on, it's absolutely crazy, absolutely nuts on Geyino exam
you slay me?

Speaker 5 (52:19):
Yep, sorry sorry, Mandy? Did you screenshot a picture of
her for your male listeners?

Speaker 11 (52:25):
Come on?

Speaker 5 (52:25):
Hook us up? I should have. I'm so sorry, so
so sorry.

Speaker 6 (52:31):
Can you say nineteen eighty four two plus two is five?

Speaker 5 (52:35):
OMG?

Speaker 6 (52:36):
Perfect analogy, Texter, Absolutely perfect.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
Because that's where we are.

Speaker 6 (52:44):
Ooh, pelvic exams on men sounds like a lucrative, an
easy side hustle. You are correct, text. Maybe there's a
whole new business there, you know, just those all right.
I want to talk about this Britney Patterson story, which
I think is very interesting, but I don't think there's
room for conversation on it, so let me just give
it to you. Representative Britney Patterson has written a letter

(53:06):
to HHS asking Secretary Robert F. Kennedy to preserve federal
funding for an opioid overdose prevention program that distributes the
loock zone that's also Narcan, same thing, but it went
well beyond just asking him to protect the funding, which,
by the way, no funding decisions have been made.

Speaker 5 (53:25):
This was a preemptive sort of letter.

Speaker 6 (53:28):
She got very personal, and she admitted that her mother
had had a decade long battle with opioid addiction after
being prescribed pain pills to treat a back injury. And
in the letter she wrote, in one year alone, my
mom overdosed more than twenty times, and even overdosed three

(53:48):
times in a single day.

Speaker 5 (53:51):
But she's one of the lucky ones.

Speaker 6 (53:53):
Time and time again ministered in a locksone and eventually
she was finally able to receive the treatment she needed.
She's now been sober for seven years.

Speaker 5 (54:03):
So her point is.

Speaker 6 (54:05):
People that die of an overdose don't ever have the
chance to make better choices and get better. And by
the way, some people are going to die of overdoses
and never make that right choice. But I thought it
was an interesting strategy and an interesting story, and something
that she certainly did not have to put into the
public sphere. I think one of the good things about JD.

(54:28):
Vance talking about his mother struggle with addiction is that
it sort of opened the door to share more personal
stories as legislators, not just Britney Peterson, but legislators who
are making legislation around drug issues, being honest and open
about it. I think is a better way to go,
and it really gives me a better understanding of her

(54:49):
in this particular situation. Again, the HHS has not made
any decisions about spending cuts, but this.

Speaker 5 (54:56):
Was a preemptive strike. You can read about it. I
got a link on the blog today.

Speaker 6 (55:00):
You can check it out there when we get back
Colorado Democrats, who are, by the way, the reason that
we're being sued for being a sanctuary state in the
first place. Instead of saying, hey, you know what, we're
being sued by the federal government for sanctuary state policies,
maybe we should just stamp pat Oh no, no, no, no,

(55:24):
it's a double down of massive proportions.

Speaker 5 (55:26):
We'll talk about it next. This is so, this is
so passive aggressive, you guys. I love good passive aggressiveness.
I truly do.

Speaker 6 (55:34):
I like the good you don't realize later until you've
been sick burned kind of thing.

Speaker 5 (55:39):
But the Democratic.

Speaker 6 (55:41):
Folks in the legislature are about to poke a bear
that not only as much bigger than they are, but
they also rely on for a steady gravy train of
money from right. This is essentially a teenager stamping at
their foot and saying you're not the buss me to
their parents, who clearly are the boss of me. Now,

(56:04):
I'm a big believer in federalism. Let me make that
perfectly clear. There's far too much federal intervention in the
economy from state to state. I think we should pull
back a lot of what the Commerce Clause covers allegedly.
All of that being said, there are certain things that
the federal government has been tasked with doing. Immigration is
one of them. Clearly, immigration is one of them. There's

(56:27):
no doubt about that.

Speaker 5 (56:28):
There's nowhere where it says immigration is left to the states.
It is a federal gig. Period.

Speaker 6 (56:35):
Now that being said, there are times when the federal
government relies on local law enforcement to assist them in
getting people out of the country who are here when
they are not supposed to be. Okay, Colorado has passed
multiple laws that prevent this easy flow of information from

(56:55):
going back and forth. And Colorado has done this over
and over and over and over again. So the Department
of Justice, with US Attorney General Pam Bondi at the head,
they are now suing the state of Colorado and the
city of Denver for their sanctuary state policies. Now, if
you were a thinking, rational person in the legislature, perhaps

(57:18):
you would say, you know what, maybe we don't need
to pass any more immigration related stuff this year since
we're being sued. Oh But as I said, if you
were a thinking person, you would think that way. But
instead the legislature just voted completely along the party line

(57:39):
to make more sanctuary laws here in Colorado.

Speaker 5 (57:45):
Just listen to what this law, which.

Speaker 6 (57:47):
By the way, the Senate passed after the DOJ filed suit.
Listen to what this dumpster fire of a law does.
It repeals the requirement for an affidavit stating that an
undocumented person has applied for lawful presence or will apply
for lawful presence as soon as they are eligible, when
an undocumented person is applying for in state tuition or

(58:11):
an identification document. So it does a weigh with a tiny,
little tiny bit where they have to swear they're going
to ask for some kind of status. That tiny little
bit was too much to ask of illegal immigrants who
want a driver's license. It prohibits jail custodians from delaying
the release of a defendant for the purpose of an

(58:32):
immigration enforcement operation. And I've been told by people in
the know who work for ICE that the rules say
they will not call ICE more than an hour before
the person's release. So they call ICE and say, you
got an hour to get here. Now you think to yourself,
why can't I get there in an hour? Well, sometimes
they're doing other things. It's not like we just have

(58:55):
a number, you know, a countless number of ICE agents.
They're doing stuff during the day, not just sitting waiting
for somebody to call from the jail to let them
know someone's getting out of jail. This is my favorite
part of this new sanctuary law.

Speaker 5 (59:09):
This is wow.

Speaker 6 (59:12):
It extends the ability to petition a court to vacate
a guilty plea to cast Class three misdemeanors as classified
at the time.

Speaker 5 (59:21):
Of the plea, if the defendant was not.

Speaker 6 (59:25):
Adequately advised of the adverse immigration consequences of a guilty plea,
or if the guilty plea was constitutionally infirm.

Speaker 5 (59:36):
Now what does this mean.

Speaker 6 (59:37):
It means that an illegal immigrant can go to the
courts and say, you know what, I pleaded guilty to
a Class three misdemeanor eight years ago. I want to
withdraw that plea, and now the district attorney has to
try and rebuild a case eight years earlier or eight
years later. They may not know where the witnesses are anymore,

(59:58):
they may not know where the evidence is anymore. But
they're supposed to rebuild the case because an illegal immigrant
who came to the country illegally knowing it was illegal.

Speaker 5 (01:00:05):
Then broke the law again. But they should be able
to just you know, sorry, miss well.

Speaker 6 (01:00:11):
Can someone else who gets convicted of a misdemeanor, Can
they go back later and say I had no idea
that this was going to prevent me from getting the
job I wanted. Can you I want to rescind that.
Let's redo it. This won't be chaotic at all. This
will not create havoc, not one bit, not even a
little bit. It also extends the prohibition of local law

(01:00:34):
enforcement from enforcing a civil immigration detainer to also include
peace officers. It prevents probation officers and departments from sharing
personal information about a person with pre trial officers or
pre trial services employees, and it prevents employees of a
detention facility from allowing federal immigration authorities into the non

(01:00:56):
public portions of a detention facility unless they are in
investigating a federal crime, or is required by a federal
warrant to transfer an inmate to or.

Speaker 5 (01:01:06):
From federal custody.

Speaker 6 (01:01:07):
You may have seen the video of the illegal immigrant
running at the courthouse. That's what happens when you don't
allow for the safe transfer. Where is their security in
the area. So this is the bill they're trying to pass.
At the same time, Governor Jared Polis, They're a fearless leader,
is literally looking at the news cameras and saying, oh,

(01:01:29):
we're not a sanctuary state. No, we're not a sanctuary state.
I mean, part of me admires his ability to George
Costanza this up because George always says.

Speaker 5 (01:01:42):
It's not a lie if you believe it.

Speaker 6 (01:01:44):
Jerry, and Governor Jared Polis, I truly like, if you
strapped him to a lie detector, I bet he could
pass because he has convinced himself that what is happening
is not actually a sanctuary state life, even though clearly
all of this stuff is designed to make it harder

(01:02:05):
for the federal government to get alien criminals out of
the country. Every single bit of it is so what
I'd love the opportunity to ask the governor, but I'll
never have it to just say, okay, great, define sanctuary state.
What is your definition of sanctuary state that we are not?
You know, I don't know what else they could do
other than saying, if you're here illegally and you commit

(01:02:28):
a crime, you're okay. Just don't worry about it. We're
not going to worry about that at all. Just go
ahead and do whatever you want. Steal everything you can,
take over, apartment complexes, go crazy because you, guys, you're oppressed.
And that's the crux of the issue. The Democrats and
people on the left have decided that the people who

(01:02:50):
have broken into the country are oppressed, and you know what,
they are in their home countries, especially Venezuela, they are oppressed,
but instead of staying there to fix that problem or
applying for legal immigrant status, they just decided to break
into our country. And the Democrats are now seeing them

(01:03:12):
as oppressed by the Trump administration. Somebody was circulating a
video and I tried to find it on X this
morning and I couldn't. A video of Obama talking about
the enforcement measures that he was putting in place.

Speaker 5 (01:03:24):
They are exactly the same as.

Speaker 6 (01:03:27):
The measures that Donald Trump is being called a xenophobe
and a horrible person about it's amazing how things change,
really really amazing. As a matter of fact, when we
get back, everybody's talking about the dropping the GDP in
this first quarter. You remember, this is a big story.
Drop me work minus three percent GDP. That's not great,

(01:03:49):
that's not good news. But I decided to use my
new friend chat GBT, and I asked it a question.
I said, what have been the biggest drops in first
quarter GDP?

Speaker 5 (01:04:03):
What year? And why? I got that for you.

Speaker 6 (01:04:07):
When we get back, you might be surprised. I mean,
I wasn't, but I pay attention to such things. I
gotta tell you, I'm starting to love AI a little.

Speaker 5 (01:04:14):
Too much, little too much.

Speaker 6 (01:04:16):
So I asked chat GBT, since nineteen seventy what were
the largest contractions of the economy in the first quarter?

Speaker 5 (01:04:28):
Try to get some perspective.

Speaker 6 (01:04:30):
We had a minus three percent growth in the first
quarter of this year, chat GBT says, driven by a
forty one point three percent surgeon imports ahead of impending tariffs,
leading to the largest import increase since twenty twenty and
the biggest GDB subtraction since nineteen forty seven. Experts rows,

(01:04:50):
exports rose just one point eight percent in the same period.
Additional factors included decreased federal spending and to slow down
in consumers. So that's the trump point three percent contraction
in twenty twenty five. Before that, in twenty twenty two,
we contracted minus one point four percent. The decline then

(01:05:15):
was attributed to a record surgeon imports ahead of expected tariffs,
which significantly impacted the US economy, reducing GDP by a
record four point eighty three percentage points twenty twenty two.

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
Tariffs HM, Were they good then? Just curious? Of course.

Speaker 6 (01:05:38):
In twenty twenty, the onset of the COVID nineteen pandemic
led to widespread economic shutdowns, causing a significant contraction in
economic activity minus five percent in twenty twenty. Back during
the Great Recession in two thousand and nine, the economy
contracted minus six point four percent. The economy contracted sharply

(01:06:01):
due to the financial crisis and collapsing housing market in
nineteen eighty two minus six point one percent. High interest
rates implemented the combat inflation led to a severe recession
with significant declines in industrial production and employment.

Speaker 5 (01:06:18):
That was Reagan's recession.

Speaker 6 (01:06:23):
That was a sharp v recession, straight down, straight up,
and unleashed the boom of the nineteen eighties. In nineteen eighty,
the economy faced a short but deep recession, influenced by
tight monetary policy and energy price shocks. Nineteen seventy four
contracted point minus three point four percent. The aftermath of

(01:06:46):
the nineteen seventy three oil crisis and stock market crash
led to stagflation character raised by high inflation and unemployment,
and in nineteen seventy minus point six percent, a mild
recession occurred, part due to monetary tightening and reduced consumer spending.
So the only difference right now is that the news

(01:07:07):
media is telling you it's the.

Speaker 5 (01:07:09):
End of the world.

Speaker 6 (01:07:11):
I don't recall, and I'm going to be going to
be frank here when I say, when I saw, oh,
twenty twenty two we had minus one point four percent GDP,
I don't remember us being told it was the end
of the world. Now, don't get me wrong, we went
to or or didn't mean to say we went to.

(01:07:36):
It's not great that we've contracted the economy, but a
couple big things leap out. One that trade deficit number,
that's massive, absolutely huge, and Secondarily, if a pullback in
federal spending is going to affect our GDP that traumatically

(01:07:57):
have any of the GDP numbers been anything we can count?
I don't think federal spending should be added into gross
domestic product because all of that spending has to be
taken out of the private economy in order to be
wandered through myriad bureaucracies in government before a fraction of
it is spent on something a good or service.

Speaker 5 (01:08:19):
Right, A lot gets lost in that middle part. So
it's interesting.

Speaker 6 (01:08:25):
Manby the only difference right now is that it is
completely self inflicted for no apparent reason.

Speaker 5 (01:08:30):
I disagree with this.

Speaker 6 (01:08:32):
Even if you think tariffs are stupid, I do you
have to look at what Trump is trying to accomplish
with the tariffs and understand it's not just tariffs for
tariff's sake. He's trying to level the playing field for trade.
He's trying to check China, and it's never ending violations
of the World Trade Organization's regulations that it's signed.

Speaker 5 (01:08:53):
Up to a bide by. It's not for nothing.

Speaker 6 (01:08:58):
There's a great call him on the blog today about
Donald Trump's commencement address to the University of Alabama. That
happened to maybe last week, a couple weeks of the most.
I didn't even pay attention to it. I didn't even
give it a second thought. I'm not one to pour
over commencement speeches as a general rule, because no one
has ever invited me to do a commencement speech. I'm

(01:09:19):
just saying, but in the column, and it may be
pay Walden. I didn't think about that until right now.
On the Free press dot com that I check every day,
one of their reporters went through it and said, look,
Trump essentially gave us a window into what makes him tick.

Speaker 5 (01:09:35):
He gave these kids.

Speaker 6 (01:09:37):
Ten different things, ten different values that he says guide him.
And one of them is like, be aggressive, don't make
don't make small decisions, make big decisions because small problems
are just as easy to solve as big problems are.

Speaker 5 (01:09:54):
Right, So it's like, go beg or go home. And
that's what we're seeing, go begg or go home.

Speaker 6 (01:10:01):
And he believes that patience is going to make him
the victory in all this, and in making him the victor,
it's making all of us the victor.

Speaker 5 (01:10:09):
When we get back. I have a story out of China.

Speaker 6 (01:10:12):
That has shifted my perception a little bit about China's
ability to withstand a long term tariff battle.

Speaker 5 (01:10:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:10:20):
You know, China is such a closed economy and country
that it's really hard for me to believe that what
I'm getting is one hundred percent accurate. But this gives
me a little bit of hope.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:10:37):
No, it's Mandy Connell and.

Speaker 5 (01:10:47):
M got Static and the nicy.

Speaker 3 (01:10:54):
Andy Connall keeping sad thing well the local Welcome to
the third hour of the show.

Speaker 5 (01:11:01):
I'm your host, Mandy Connell. And that guy right there
is Anthony Rodriguez. We call him a rod You can
call him whatever you want, just don't call him late
for lunch. We have a lot of stuff on the
blog today. If you're just joining us.

Speaker 6 (01:11:15):
You really should go to the blog because I've got
some great stories on there. I have so many there's
no way we can talk about them all up. And
we just found out the Rockies game is officially postponed
for tonight. Did they announce when they're playing the makeup?
Do we know when they're playing the makeup.

Speaker 11 (01:11:32):
It will be part of a doubleheader one ten on Thursday.

Speaker 6 (01:11:39):
There's already a okay, so they added an evening game
there right now, because we already preempted by them on Thursday,
So I'm bad. That's good. I hope they add an
evening game on Thursday.

Speaker 5 (01:11:51):
That would be amazing because tomorrow is sixty right, So as.

Speaker 6 (01:11:55):
Long as they didn't ad another day game tomorrow because
it's supposed to rain through tomorrow, I mean at least
for a while there we see here, So I just
wanted to.

Speaker 11 (01:12:04):
Get Yeah, first game at one ten and then the
second thirty minutes after the conclusion on Thursday.

Speaker 5 (01:12:09):
Okay, excellent.

Speaker 6 (01:12:10):
So they are playing two on Thursday and not too
on Wednesday. Yes, that means we have another full show tomorrow.
Was a little bit concerned about that, but let's see,
let's just check really quickly.

Speaker 5 (01:12:21):
Okay, it is.

Speaker 6 (01:12:21):
Going to rain, rainity, rainity rain until like three o'clock tomorrow.
That's why they didn't add it tomorrow. That would have
been dumb. Okay, anyway, that's done. We don't have to
worry about that anymore. In any case, I do want
to share this story because the other day I was
talking about, uh. I was talking about China, and China's

(01:12:43):
ability to withstand a long tariff battle because of the
oppressive nature of their government, right, I mean, they don't
have to. They don't do elections, and if they do
do elections to give the appearance of some kind of
control or self determined, they're only candidates that were chosen
already by the Chinese Communist Party.

Speaker 5 (01:13:05):
Right, they don't have free elections.

Speaker 6 (01:13:07):
So I thought, Okay, they're going to be able to
withstand this more than weekend because they look at us
and say, hey, we've only got to make this four years,
and then you're going to get new government et cetera,
et cetera starting and see where I'm going. Well, then
I saw this story, and now I can't find it,
So bear with me. And while I find it here,
I've just looked. Let me just do that. I can't

(01:13:28):
even search my own blog. It's so big.

Speaker 5 (01:13:30):
Okay, here we go.

Speaker 6 (01:13:31):
It's right into the Trump inauguration speech, which I put
on the blog if you want to watch it. Protests
are up in China as furious workers demand back pay
as Trump's tariffs on imports jolt the economy.

Speaker 5 (01:13:45):
Protests.

Speaker 6 (01:13:45):
Now, I need to give this a little bit of
context if you haven't been paying attention to what life
is like in Chinese. In communist China, they don't really
accept protests as a thing.

Speaker 7 (01:14:00):
You know.

Speaker 6 (01:14:01):
I'm not saying they're going to run over every protester
with a tank, but we already know how that went
back in tannem And Square. So the fact that we're
starting a story with protests from furious factory workers in
China demanding.

Speaker 5 (01:14:14):
Back pay or spreading across the.

Speaker 6 (01:14:15):
Country after President's Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports began impacting
the communist nation's economy. Unrest has been reported across the
country as workers have taken to the streets.

Speaker 5 (01:14:27):
This is a huge deal.

Speaker 6 (01:14:29):
They're protesting unpaid wages and challenging unfair dismissals following the
closures of factories squeezed by US tariffs. This according to
Radio Free Asia, Chinese industry leaders are extremely anxious. That's
a quote about the steep duties with many telling factories.

Speaker 5 (01:14:48):
Whoop bang on one second, got a pop up ad?
Thanks New York Post. How do I make this pop
up ad go away?

Speaker 10 (01:14:56):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:14:56):
There it is okay?

Speaker 6 (01:15:01):
Extremely anxious about the steep duties, with many telling factories
and suppliers to halt or delay supplies. Wang Jing that
from the head of the industry group representing more than
two thousand Chinese merchants.

Speaker 5 (01:15:11):
He told that to.

Speaker 6 (01:15:12):
The Financial Times, at least sixteen million jobs across many
industries in China are at risk due to the one
hundred and forty five percent tariff on Chinese goods.

Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
A twenty six year old toy.

Speaker 6 (01:15:24):
Factory worker told The Financial Times it's not easy at
the moment. His employer in the Chinese city of Xijiang
mostly sells to the US, and management recently forced workers
to take two weeks off unpaid in the face of
the tariffs. Last month, construction workers threatened to throw themselves
off the buildings they were working on unless they received

(01:15:46):
their unpaid wages in the northeastern city of Tunglio. Elsewhere,
sporting goods factory in southern Hunan Province also shut without
warning last month, offering no compensation or social security benefits,
leaving hundreds of workers to go on strike. Protests in
China have increased since the COVID pandemic as the Chinese
economy has struggled to bounce back. Now, China hung on

(01:16:11):
to the zero COVID stance for way too long. I mean,
they were trying to get it, so there were zero
COVID cases. That actually concerns me quite a bit. I
never really talked about this, but should it concern us
that the Chinese, who I believe were intimately involved with

(01:16:31):
the creation of the coronavirus. I don't necessarily believe they
leaked it on purpose, but I do believe they were
involved in the creation of this virus. They know more
about what it does than anybody else, and they're not talking.

Speaker 5 (01:16:45):
So the fact that they were all like, we're going
to get to zero COVID.

Speaker 6 (01:16:49):
That's unnerving. The rest of us are like, look, we're
gonna get COVID.

Speaker 5 (01:16:51):
It's gonna suck.

Speaker 6 (01:16:52):
We might could sick people are hardly anybody's dying from it. Now,
it's fine, It's a okay. Chinese authorities have acknowledged that
tariffs are impacting the country's economy. In April, China's factory
activity slowed its steepest contraction in sixteen months, while new
export orders dropped to their lowest levels in three years.

(01:17:12):
Since the pandemic experts are fearful about President Trump's aggressive tactics. However,
the contraction in Chinese industrial output and the protest show
the president may still have leverage. Chinese President Jijinping has
also traveled to nearer countries China shore up that business.

Speaker 5 (01:17:33):
And this is not what I was expecting.

Speaker 6 (01:17:36):
I thought China would be doing a better job protecting
workers at least. But then again, a friend who owns
a business that has one part of his business is
made in China because it's simply not made any other place. Period,
It's just not made any other place. And his Chinese

(01:18:01):
counterpart told him, if you think China cares about the worker,
let understand that they let millions of people die millions
of COVID and covered it up from the world.

Speaker 5 (01:18:14):
Right. So uh yeah, yeah, that's on the blog today.

Speaker 6 (01:18:19):
Like, as I said, I was actually kind of surprised
by some of that, just a little bit. Thought it
was super interesting too. All right, let's try to oh
hang on, maybe uh I've lost Oh here we go.
I'm sorry, my computer just decided to do its own
thing there for a second. Okay, I'm gonna take a
quick time out. I have so much stuff on the

(01:18:41):
blog today that we're not going to get to, including
one of my favorite videos of all time. Charles Harrington.
Elster would have absolutely loved this video where a woman
plays the different roles of all of the parts of punctuation.
I embedded on the blog today the the long thread

(01:19:01):
on X about the history of Gaza, and we're going
to talk about that next because this morning, while we
were sleeping, the Israeli military destroyed the airport in Yemen,
absolutely annihilated it.

Speaker 5 (01:19:16):
But here's the kicker. They issued a warning first. They
took over television and radio in Yemen to let people
know they were about to bomb the crap out of
the airport and they should get out.

Speaker 6 (01:19:28):
Horrible, horrible people. Even the way they fight war tries
to protect human life. I'm going to read the history
of Gaza when we get back. Some of you might
be surprised. Some of you might be like, ah, I've
been right all along.

Speaker 5 (01:19:40):
This dude on X.

Speaker 6 (01:19:42):
Those names Noam Kotna, he lives in Israel. He did
a thread that I think is really important because a
lot of people do not remember the history of Gaza,
and a lot of these young people who want to
tell you that Israel is the oppressor, that they they've
created a prison around Gaza. Nothing of the history of
the Gaza strip in two thousand and five, and I'm

(01:20:04):
just going to read his stuff really quick. In two
thousand and five, Israel carried out one of the most
painful concessions in its history, the complete withdrawal from Gaza.
Over eight thousand Israelis were uprooted from their homes, not
during war, but during a time of relative calm. These
families were forced to abandon towns they'd lived in for decades.

(01:20:24):
It wasn't easy, it wasn't cost free. It was a
gamble for peace. But this wasn't just about people. Israel
left behind infrastructure, greenhouses, homes, farms, synagogues were left standing.
International donors pledged to support Gaza's growth, many of them
by the way Jewish donors. The world watched, and many

(01:20:45):
hope this would be a turning point, a moment when
Palestinians could prove they were ready for peace and self governance.
Israel didn't leave under fire, it didn't retreat after defeat.
It left with open hands, taking a step few other
nations ever have that Gaza would become Singapore on the Mediterranean,
the reality a nightmare fueled by fanaticism. Less than two

(01:21:07):
years later, Gaza was engulfed by bloodshed, not from Israel,
but from within. In two thousand and seven, Hamas sees
power in a violent coup. They threw Fatah officials off rooftops,
executed rivals in the streets, and silenced any hope of democracy.
Gaza wasn't liberated, it was hijacked. Hamas didn't come to
build a state. They came to build a base of jihad.

(01:21:30):
They didn't invest in education or health care. They poured
resources into smuggling, rocket production, and ideological indoctrination.

Speaker 5 (01:21:38):
They didn't care about Gaza's future. They cared about Israel's destruction.

Speaker 6 (01:21:42):
Since taking over, Hamas has launched over twenty thousand rockets
at Israeli civilians. They aim not at military targets, but
at cities, homes, schools. This isn't resistance, it's terrorism, and
they wear it proudly. One of the most damning indictments
of Hamas comes from what they.

Speaker 5 (01:21:59):
Did to the greenhouses.

Speaker 6 (01:22:01):
These were gifted to the Palestinians after Israel's withdrawal. Full
functioning agricultural hubs that could have created jobs, fed thousands,
and sparked the local economy.

Speaker 5 (01:22:11):
What did Hamas do? Many were looted and destroyed.

Speaker 6 (01:22:15):
Some were sold for scrap, others were left to rot
because food security doesn't serve Hamas's goals, but tunnel networks
and rocket factories do. Billions in aid were funneled into Gaza,
un funds, European donations, Katari cash, yet the people saw
little of it. Why because the mass steals it.

Speaker 5 (01:22:34):
They used the.

Speaker 6 (01:22:34):
Money to buy weapons, dig terror tunnels under kindergartens, and
fund lavish lifestyles for their leaders in Qatar. And it's
not a failure of governance, it's a deliberate strategy of war.
Let's expose the lie of the so called siege. Gaza
has two borders, one with Israel and one with Egypt,
and yet you rarely hear about Egypt's role.

Speaker 5 (01:22:54):
Why because it blows up the narrative.

Speaker 6 (01:22:57):
Egypt also restricts access, shutting down its crossings, blocking imports,
monitoring traffic, not because they support Israel, but because they
fear Hamas.

Speaker 5 (01:23:08):
Hamas has attack the Egyptian border.

Speaker 6 (01:23:10):
Post, it has collaborated with isis cells in the Sinai.
It has funneled weapons through underground tunnels. Egypt knows that
an open border with Gaza means inviting terrorism into its
own backyard. Despite everything, despite the rockets, they hate the incitement,
Israel still sends humanitarian aid into Gaza every day. Truckloads
of food, medicine, fuel, and supplies are allowed through. Israel

(01:23:34):
checks every package, every crate, every box, not because they
want to, but because they must. Time and time again,
a moss has proven they'll weaponize anything. They've smuggled explosives
inside baby formula. They've used ambulances to transport terrorists. They've
stolen fuel intended for hospitals and diverted it to rocket production.
Every cement meant for rebuilding homes has been used to

(01:23:57):
line terror tunnels. AMAS counts on international sympathy to cover
their crimes, and it works. Every time Israel titans inspections
after a.

Speaker 5 (01:24:05):
Security thread, the media cries sage, but they don't ask
why those trucks are inspected.

Speaker 6 (01:24:11):
AMAS doesn't want a two state solution. They don't want peace.
They want one Islamic state from the river to the sea.
That's not a call for freedom, it's a call for genocide.
Their charter openly calls for the murder of Jews, not
Israelis Jews. They train children to be suicide bombers. They
run summer camps where children learn to stab, shoot, and hate.

(01:24:32):
They broadcast cartoons glorifying martyrdom, and when those kids die
from human shield tactics or failed rocket launches, they exploit
their corpses for pr purposes. Now that's just the history
of Gaza. When we get back, we're moving on to
something different that You can find this entire thread on
the blog at mandy'sblog dot com.

Speaker 5 (01:24:54):
Look for the headline and.

Speaker 6 (01:24:55):
The latest post section. It says five six twenty five blog. Oh,
I wasn't gonna do that, and you just confuse the
crap out of me because I just clicked the button.

Speaker 5 (01:25:05):
Dad, Did I've turned that on?

Speaker 7 (01:25:07):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:25:07):
Stop it. Check it out. It's there when we get back.
A listener has a question.

Speaker 6 (01:25:12):
About Ross's laugh and Mike Tyson's laugh. We'll find out
if they're remotely similar when we get back. Before the break,
I teased we may have something about Ross, but then
doing some investigation, Ara believes we do not have something
about Ross. Now to give you the full details a text.

(01:25:33):
Oh come on, I'm having a fit with computers today.
It's just one of those days where I cannot make
things work right and it's driving me absolutely crazy. Okay,
let's do this. We're gonna do this over here. We're
gonna put this there and do that, and I'm just
gonna run with it the way it is, which is

(01:25:54):
totally wrong. A texter sent a message earlier, and trying
to get us off task is not that difficult, right,
It just isn't. Hey, Mandy, this is off topic. But
Ross goes off topic all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:26:07):
Haha. I heard Ross's short burst laugh.

Speaker 6 (01:26:10):
This morning, and it reminded me if Mike Tyson laughed.
YouTube Mike Tyson's laugh and tell me what you think.

Speaker 5 (01:26:15):
So we did.

Speaker 6 (01:26:16):
I got my crack investigative team.

Speaker 5 (01:26:18):
Of a rod yeah on this.

Speaker 6 (01:26:20):
And first, let's let's play the short burst laugh from
Ross Kaminski so people can sort of judge if it's
weird or not.

Speaker 5 (01:26:30):
I don't think that's super weird.

Speaker 10 (01:26:31):
No, no, no.

Speaker 11 (01:26:33):
But then we're gonna pull back the curtain and make
our listeners understand that isolating a Mike Tyson laugh, Yeah,
that isn't either him swearing or other people swearing and
interviews he's a part of. Is almost impossible in my
last five ten minutes of efforting that because.

Speaker 6 (01:26:48):
I found a bunch of stuff online, but I cannot
listen to audio in my computer because you know, the
whole setup in here, and I sent it to a
rod I'm like, see if this week.

Speaker 5 (01:26:55):
No, we cannot use any of it.

Speaker 11 (01:26:57):
Half of the videos are either just the radio portion
visually of the meme of him hysterically laughing, right, yeah,
does may popular or he's swearing or him laughing so
maybe oddly that everyone else is laughing with him and
you can't tell which laugh is Mike's because he's a
funny guy. Yeah, So it's either one of those problems
that I really can't find a good one.

Speaker 5 (01:27:19):
Okay, so we're just gonna go with the No.

Speaker 6 (01:27:22):
We've done an investigative, a deep dive into does Ross
laugh like Mike Tyson, only to come up with the
entirely disappointing answer of no, because we can't prove it,
and I we just we can't do the on the air.
But that just you just gave me a question, a
question for you, what what meme or or gift.

Speaker 5 (01:27:41):
Do you use a.

Speaker 11 (01:27:42):
Lot o oh, mister mister Robert Redford, the one that
goes slowly in on him, Yeah, and then he nods, yes.

Speaker 10 (01:27:52):
I use that all the time.

Speaker 5 (01:27:54):
I use a beat Arthur one all the time.

Speaker 6 (01:27:56):
That's just like the dull stare of the dairy cow
and she's just looking at you. And I feel like
that's a that's a strong one for me in particular,
because that's really sometimes how I look at people in
my mind.

Speaker 11 (01:28:06):
Or the slow pan in on justin Timberlake, just giving
you the really look.

Speaker 10 (01:28:12):
Really, that one's great.

Speaker 5 (01:28:14):
Yep. That one's good. That was very good.

Speaker 11 (01:28:16):
Elmo on Fire where like the fires behind him, he's
just holding his hands up like.

Speaker 5 (01:28:20):
Dumpster fire one. I use that one quite a bit, the.

Speaker 11 (01:28:22):
One that's in all that one, the actual dumpster cartoon
in the house on fire and it says this is fine,
It's fine, yep.

Speaker 5 (01:28:30):
Or the little girl standing in front of the burning house.
That one's a good one too.

Speaker 11 (01:28:34):
It'll make you feel even older when you realize that
all these popular memes and all these kids and all
these memes.

Speaker 5 (01:28:39):
Are like twenty thirty years old exactly.

Speaker 11 (01:28:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:28:41):
Yeah, I've learned that recently I heard, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:28:43):
There are things Well, I mean, ay, Rod, you're not
there yet, but you're rapidly approaching the age where you
go to a you go to a professional baseball game
and you realize, like, you remember the year that some
of these players were born.

Speaker 5 (01:28:55):
You were, you were old enough.

Speaker 6 (01:28:56):
To be able to like, yeah, I totally have memories
of that year when I realized that they were born.

Speaker 5 (01:29:02):
Well after when I graduated from high school, that's when
it really starts to hurt. Right, Oh, I'll do you
one better.

Speaker 11 (01:29:09):
Most professional athletes now, none of them are born with
a year starting with the one stop it.

Speaker 10 (01:29:15):
They all the year starting two zero something.

Speaker 6 (01:29:21):
Oh, by the way, on the blog today, as a beautiful,
spectacular Nolan Aeronaudo catch in the crowd.

Speaker 5 (01:29:28):
And it gives the ball to a little girl and
it should a bit of a Rocky's uniform.

Speaker 11 (01:29:32):
That's enough about the Yeah, but we missed the part
where he fell on the fam that didn't look like
a It's.

Speaker 5 (01:29:38):
Fine, he gave him a ball. They were all happy.
Nolan Aeronado can fall in my lap anytime yours.

Speaker 10 (01:29:43):
I want to go on. Little kids that he fell into, well, they're.

Speaker 5 (01:29:47):
Fine, it's part of the action.

Speaker 1 (01:29:48):
Now.

Speaker 6 (01:29:49):
Now they touched Nolan aeronauto, It's more than I've done.
I mean, that sounded a little creepy when I said that.
Didn't mean it to sound as creepy as it just did.
You know, I am getting at that age when I
talk about young man, I probably need to make sure
I'm not being creepy.

Speaker 11 (01:30:02):
Yeah, I gotta watch You're gonna watch it these days.

Speaker 6 (01:30:06):
My brother has a book coming out in the fall.
You'll be hearing him interviewed here. I was already like,
I better get the first interview or I'm gonna be mad,
which I probably won't and I'll just I won't be mad.
But he's got a book coming out about life stuff.
And and my mom said, well, what's your book about.
He said, well, I wrote it to my twenty seven
year old self because I was such an idiot back then,

(01:30:27):
and I just all the advice that I should have had.
I wrote it to myself. And he talked about his
time on The Apprentice. He was on the third season
of The Apprentice back of the day and with Donald.

Speaker 5 (01:30:37):
Yeah, he just rewatched it. He made it halfway through.

Speaker 6 (01:30:40):
And I've talked about the fact that before the show
even started filming, he told me he was not going
to make it because when they were taking the pictures,
the promotional pictures, they did him in this big V
and they did all the promotional pictures the same. So
there's a big V with all the contestants going out,
Donald Trump in the middle. Well, my brother's six 's
four and with his hair at the time, he was
like six' six And Donald trump's next to him for

(01:31:01):
one photo and, SAID i don't want to be next to.

Speaker 5 (01:31:03):
This guy because my brother was taller than.

Speaker 6 (01:31:05):
Him and he was, Like trump's not gonna pick me
Because i'm taller than he, is and he, doesn't you,
Know AND i was.

Speaker 10 (01:31:09):
Like that's.

Speaker 6 (01:31:10):
Ridiculous so he makes it halfway through the, show but
he's rewatching the series with his kids now his kids are.

Speaker 5 (01:31:16):
Teenagers and at one point he was talking to one
of the other women on the team and he was, like, look,

Speaker 10 (01:33:00):
In the argument.

Speaker 3 (01:33:00):
Out.

Speaker 6 (01:33:01):
OKAY i got an interesting story on the blog today
about what happens to people after a near death.

Speaker 5 (01:33:07):
Experience and if you've listened to.

Speaker 6 (01:33:08):
The show for any length of, time you KNOW i
am fascinated by near death experiences And i've interviewed multiple
people that have had near death. Experiences and my favorite
interview in the history of interviews was with a guy
who had a near actually had an after death. Experience
he was dead for like two hours in a body, bag.

Speaker 5 (01:33:25):
Going to the. Morgue but listen to.

Speaker 6 (01:33:28):
This so they're studying people who have had a near death,
experience and what they found is that a majority of,
them after a near death experience came back and viewed
work completely. Differently now you might think to, yourself they
don't want to work anymore because they realize it's a
waste of, time but actually it's much. Different through interviews

(01:33:52):
with working adults who had experienced, NDEs researchers identified profound
changes in how these individuals approached their work. Lives many
participants reported that traditional career achievements and financial success plummeted
in importance following their close call with. Death for many nd,
survivors the transformation was. Dramatic many quit their jobs in

(01:34:17):
search of more meaningful. Work as one participant, described they
chose to pursue entrepreneurship rather than corporate, advancement focusing on
spiritual fulfillment rather than ego. Gratification others crafted their existing
jobs to align with their new, values developed heightened empathy
for colleagues and, customers or incorporated unusual abilities they believe

(01:34:39):
they developed over their near death. Experience one participant explained
how they suddenly gained the ability to intuitively sense injuries
in accident, victims including details like seat belt, injuries, whiplash broken.

Speaker 5 (01:34:53):
Bones and head. TRAUMA i just think that's the coolest thing.

Speaker 6 (01:34:57):
Ever by the, way their occupations spanned a ton of different, fields, farming, marketing, entrepreneurship, waiting,
tables and research has identified six major themes about a
near death, experience insights and new, realizations personal, transformations reprioritization of,
work job, changes motivation and change. Relationships most participants reported

(01:35:22):
profound spiritual.

Speaker 5 (01:35:23):
Insights following their.

Speaker 6 (01:35:25):
Ends they were deeply felt revelations that reshaped their identities
and approaches to life and.

Speaker 5 (01:35:31):
Work why is?

Speaker 6 (01:35:33):
This why are these similar things happening to people who
have near death? Experiences, well people who have had near death,
experiences especially very vivid, ones develop a belief system that
there is a collective oneness among all.

Speaker 5 (01:35:51):
