the blog at mandy'sblog dot com. Now, before you complain
about it, thanks Nancy oh Sinry. Didn't mean to step
on Nancy. I appreciate her approval every day after the blog.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
It means a lot to me.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
There obviously is not a lot on the blog today,
although there's good stuff on the blog. Because we're done
in approximately eighteen minutes now, I want to draw your
attention to a social media post by our governor and
if you ever ever ever wanted to know why I
think this guy is probably going to somehow be president
(02:28):
of the United States. Look no further than this social
media post about the polling that they just did on
the Colorado one fifty pedestrian walkway that was supposed to
celebrate our one hundred and fiftieth anniversary by building a
super ugly meandering walkway to nowhere. No one wanted this
(02:49):
at all, and so Jared Polis, realizing that he was
promoting something that was wildly unpopular, and I do mean
wildly unpopular, he put up a survey online and said
I will abide by the survey, and the survey was
an absolute slaughter. I'm gonna skip to the end of
his post and then I'm gonna come back to the post.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
In just a moment.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Over eighty thousand people participated in just five days.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Now a Rod, did you look at these results yet?
I have?
Speaker 1 (03:19):
They are yeah, Oh this was this was a a
just a beyond massacre, right. So out of eighty thousand
people that voted, eighty two thousand, three hundred and thirteen
of them voted no, ninety three point nine percent, two
point three percent said maybe, three point eight percent said yes.
(03:42):
Total votes eighty seven thousand, six hundred and eighty six.
It was an absolute she lacking. We hate the bridge,
We don't want the bridge. The bridge is awful. It's
maybe the worst idea in the history of ideas. And
this is what the governor tweeted out about the bridge
and the survey. He says, color right who took part
in our online survey have voted not to proceed with
(04:04):
the Colorado one fifty pedestrian walkway to celebrate our one
hundred and fiftieth anniversary as a state. Thank you to
everyone who shared their opinions and voted. I will commit
my time and effort to prevent this walkway from being built,
even if I have to chain myself to the Capitol
Plaza to stop it.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
And then he gives the stats that I just gave you.
So not only is.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
He saying the people have spoken and there will be
no bridge, he's also saying I will fight for you, Colorado.
I will fight to make sure that this terrible, awful,
no good idea ever it's built.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I mean, I wonder if he's dizzy from all this spinning.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
But this is a perfect example of why I think
Jared Polus could be president. Someday, because he operates in
such a way as to create an alternate reality. And God,
I hate to break it to you. You in the
talk radio audience, generally speaking, and this is borne out
by polling data.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
This has been proved long before I said it on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
People listen to talk radio are smarter than people who don't. Okay,
you're more informed, you're well informed, you know exactly what's
going on.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
But the reality is.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
A vast jordy of the other people who are not
listening to talk radio are gonna see this tweet or
this social media and they're gonna read it and they're
gonna be like, oh good, yeah, Okay, that's not happening.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Oh he's gonna chain himself to the capitol CLAUSEA. That's cool.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, he cares about the people of Colorado. He's counting
on and it's gonna work. I'm telling you it's gonna work.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
I will say I.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Kind of like I have a love hate relationship with
Governor Jared Poulis's x feed because some of it is
so bad.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
But he has.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Really leaned in on using AI and photoshop to create
these pictures that he's using and it's really smart, because
that gets your stuff seen by more people.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I'm actually in the process.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
I told you guys, I was using groc every day
to create an image for the blog. And I'm doing
that for a couple of weeks, and then I'm gonna
go back and I'm gonna not do that, and I'm
gonna see which gets seen more often? You know what
gets seen more on social media because battling social media algorithms,
it's a nightmare, and it never ever stops because they're
always changing them. It's like they want to make it
(06:31):
harder for us to use their product. I don't understand that.
It's fine, it's just fine. Anyway, that's on the blog today.
You can find it there and see it for yourself.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
Now.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
I also have some stuff on the blog that I
think is really really interesting. I am not going to lie.
I have not been following along with the Tina Peters
habeas you know request, I just haven't been following along
because I don't care. I don't care if Tina Peter
gets released from prison. I don't care if she stays
in prison. And it doesn't have anything to do with
(07:04):
how I feel about Tina Peters. Tina Peters was convicted
by a Republican prosecutor by a jury for.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Doing dumb things, and people.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Want her out of jail because they think her motives
were true. That only works for Hillary Clinton. Tina Peters
doesn't get to use that defense. But now, for some reason,
she is appealing her conviction in state court. Okay, But
for some reason a federal judge has been dragged in
(07:38):
to talk about whether or not he could make some
kind of ruling that would allow her to be released
under a hebeis corpus claim. Right, But the problem is
is that it's long been established that the federal court
system cannot interfere in the state court system. Stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
So I don't know where the this is going. But
I'm not the only one.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
The judge, the federal judge who is hearing this case
from the bench, has been expressing his confusion.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
He said, listen to these questions from the judge.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Are they under bond? Are they under a state court bond?
Are they supervised by federal pre trial release? What if
a petitioner violates that bond? Can the state court revoke
the bond? Do I revoke the bond?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
What do we do?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And these are the questions I have, he said, I
haven't come across and I don't think petitioner has cited
a single case ever in the history of the United
States where a federal court granted habeas on an appeal bond.
So this is not you know, it's just this whole
thing is just insane, absolutely insane.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So that that conversation, this this hearing ended with the
judge asking both of the attorneys, the prosecution and the defense,
has Peters adequately presented her arguments for release pending appeal
to the Court of Appeals prior to raising those grounds
in federal court. She has, and that appeal is pending.
(09:17):
This is just a giant mess, and it's a political
mess because we're Tina Peters, not on the side of
Donald Trump. There's no way that this would be happening
right now with a federal judge. So we'll see what happens.
But I don't think Tina is going to getting out
of jail anytime soon, as the judge tries to sort
out whether or not he even has the right to
(09:38):
let her out, which is fascinating, I mean, really really fascinating.
Phil Wiser has picked a fight another one and this
one could be very interesting. Phil Wiser's launched a probe
into four law enforcement agencies in Colorado, including the Colorado
State Patrol.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What is he looking for?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, he's up set because they pulled over. Mason County
Sheriff's deputy pulled over a woman from Utah in early
June because she was tailgating a truck. She then, well,
I guess in the process of giving her a ticket.
He then shared her personal information with the Department of
(10:21):
Homeland Security. So Caroline Dias Guncalvese. She's a nineteen year
old nursing student who came to US from Brazil as
a child with her family. She's now applied for asylum.
She got pulled over. He used a signaled chat to
share her license plate number in her car's description because
(10:41):
he said she may be in the country without documentation.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Phil Wiser said that the law enforcement information shared with
federal immigration authorities could be a direct violation of state
laws passed last year. Those laws specifically prohibit Colorado State,
County and local employees from disclosing personal identifying information for
the purpose of investigating, for participating, in cooperating with, or
(11:08):
assisting in federal immigration enforcement. But is that law legal
when you start talking about supremacy of the federal government,
that's the question. So what is going to happen? Is
he going to put these people in jail? That's what
I want to know.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
What does he think? I mean, what are we going
to do here?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Because if I am this law enforcement officer, I'm going
to fight this and I don't know how it would
make it its way up to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
But why wouldn't it?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
These laws are clearly not clearly otherwise I would be
able to say clearly, but they're not. They don't make
a lot of sense when it comes down to the
federal supremacy clause.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
It really doesn't. So what are we supposed to do
with all this?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So it is a very interesting thing that's going on.
I got an email from a Texter or an emailer
this morning. We said, Mandy, this case could feasibly end
up at the Supreme Court somehow.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I'm like, yeah, I could. I don't know. We'll have
to wait and see. But Colorado, I'm dying to know.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I have a story on the blog today about how
Colorado will excuse me, California, Minnesota, and Illinois have ended
Medicaid for people who do not have legal status. Right,
They've just ended it, you know why, because they couldn't afford.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
To take the hit.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Colorado is preparing to take the same hit.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I'm just saying, what are we going to do here?
We have states?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
By the way, Louisville, Kentucky also run by Democrats for
the longest time.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I know that because I live there.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
They have ended their sanctuary policies in Louisville just repealed
them all because they were tagged a sanctuary city and
the federal government was like, hey, yeah, whatever money you
think you're getting, you're not getting it. And Louisville folded
like a cheap suit. I mean, just bam doing over nothing.
To see what happens in Colorado. We are we so
(13:22):
wedded to the virtue signaling that our mayor Mike Johnson
loves to talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
We're a welcoming city. We welcome people. It doesn't matter
if they're here illegally or illegally, we welcome them.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Is it more important for Denver and Colorado to be
seen as a welcoming city or is it more important
that we're able to pay our bills and not cut
services and not fire employees. Now, don't get me wrong,
I'd love to see and no offense if you are
a state employee. But I'd love to see our state
government roles trimmed quite a bit. They've grown exponentially in
(13:57):
the last nine years. But that being said, is Colorado
so worried about looking good and being able to talk
at their boulder cocktail parties about how welcoming and warmed
they are as they hire security to keep the great
underwashed masses out of there.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Just saying.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Mandy, My exact thoughts were that he set this dumb
ugly walkway project up to show he listens to people
he knew would fail, and then listen to the voters.
Props to Polis for master manipulation, says this Texter. I
actually think there's something to that, but not for that reason.
I think we've got a special session coming up, We've
got Denver laying off people, We've got all kinds of stuff,
(14:44):
all kinds of stuff going on here that he doesn't
want to talk about.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So why not gin.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Up this idiotic bridge to nowhere that everyone's gonna hate,
Get everybody talking about that, and then we don't talk
about the other stuff, right. I mean, it's a classic move.
It's very effective, very very effective. Great column on the
blog today by Joshua Scharff at Complete Colorado, page two,
although we have page two anymore now, it's just Complete
Colorado and the Headlight, Colorado's auto theft capital gives a
(15:13):
green light to car thieves. He starts the column by
sharing about how his car was stolen out of his driveway.
But then it gets better. Colorado, says Joshua Sharf, is
now routine lee one of the three worst states in
the country per capita for car theft. Denver Aurora Centennial
is the seventh worst metro area in the country. It
(15:35):
rated four hundred and thirty fifts per one hundred thousand people.
That was an improvement from twenty twenty three, when we
were the worst state overall with five hundred and eighty
three thefts per hundred thousand people. According to the FBI's
Crime Data Explorer, from nineteen eighty five until about two thousand,
Colorado averaged about one thousand stolen cars per month. Increasing
(15:57):
population and recession pushed that number slowly upward to briefly
touch two thousand in two thousand and six, before returning
to the previous average for another decade. Then, in twenty fourteen,
the Colorado legislature, without any dissenting votes, passed a law
to tie the level of criminal mischief for car theft
to the value of the car stolen, while lowering the
(16:20):
overall penalties. The sliding scale of punishment not only encouraged
more theft, but it also encouraged thieves to pick on
poor and working class people, and so unsurprisingly, carthift began
to rise again. In Denver reported theft's climb to nearly
fifteen thousand a year in twenty twenty two, fifteen thousand
(16:44):
in Denver.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Finally officials started to take action.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Theft rights have finally dropped after legislatures in the city
of Aurora enacted things like mandatory minimum sentences, and the
state legislature finally did an about face. Theft rates have
declined significantly to about three thousand per month statewide eighty
six hundred annually in Denver, But those numbers are still insane.
(17:10):
Why did you care about this? Why do you think
your auto insurance is so expensive? That is why we
have two things in Colorado. We used to just have
one thing. Which was hail damage.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Hale.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
We can't do anything about until I find someone who's
willing to run out into the parking lot and throw
their bodies over my car in every hailstorm.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
We're just gonna have to deal with Hale.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Right, it would be nice if we had more covered parking,
like at the iHeart Studios. I'm just saying, but the
reality is we can't control Hale, but we should be
able to do a better job controlling car thefs. And
here's the other kicker. The car thefts aren't just to
take the cars and sell them, right, that would be lovely.
Just take the cars, chop them up, sell them, do
(17:53):
whatever you're gonna do. But that's not how it works.
How it works is they steal the car and then
you to commit other crimes.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
In the column, they did catch the guy who stole
Joshua's car, and he is pressing charges. And that's the
only way to stop this. Press charges. Make sure people
who steal cars go to jail, not after they steal
the second and third car. As Bill Wiser Ones famously
said before that read the whole thing. It's very very interesting. Now,
(18:23):
if you've heard Rich Guggenheim on the show before I
want to give a special shout out because he has
written a book and just the cover art alone is
worth the purchase, even if you buy it on Kendall.
It's called Escaping the Rainbow Plantation. Gay rights activist Rich
Gugenheim exposes that gender ideology hijack the LGB movement, medicalized kids,
(18:45):
and corrupted institutions.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You can buy it at the.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Link on my blog today at mandy'sblog dot com. That
music means that it's time to make way for the Rockies.
They will be playing the Saint Louis Cardinals and good
news you get to see Nolan aeronauto with Course Field again.
We'll be back tomorrow or I won't. I'll be back Friday.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
He said, listen to these questions from the judge.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Are they under bond? Are they under a state court bond?
Are they supervised by federal pre trial release? What if
a petitioner violates that bond? Can the state court revoke
the bond? Do I revoke the bond?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
What do we do?
Speaker 1 (08:28):
And these are the questions I have, he said, I
haven't come across and I don't think petitioner has cited
a single case ever in the history of the United
States where a federal court granted habeas on an appeal bond.
So this is not you know, it's just this whole
thing is just insane, absolutely insane.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So that that conversation, this this hearing ended with the
judge asking both of the attorneys, the prosecution and the defense,
has Peters adequately presented her arguments for release pending appeal
to the Court of Appeals prior to raising those grounds
in federal court. She has, and that appeal is pending.
(09:17):
This is just a giant mess, and it's a political
mess because we're Tina Peters, not on the side of
Donald Trump. There's no way that this would be happening
right now with a federal judge. So we'll see what happens.
But I don't think Tina is going to getting out
of jail anytime soon, as the judge tries to sort
out whether or not he even has the right to
(09:38):
let her out, which is fascinating, I mean, really really fascinating.
Phil Wiser has picked a fight another one and this
one could be very interesting. Phil Wiser's launched a probe
into four law enforcement agencies in Colorado, including the Colorado
State Patrol.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
What is he looking for?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Well, he's up set because they pulled over. Mason County
Sheriff's deputy pulled over a woman from Utah in early
June because she was tailgating a truck. She then, well,
I guess in the process of giving her a ticket.
He then shared her personal information with the Department of
(10:21):
Homeland Security. So Caroline Dias Guncalvese. She's a nineteen year
old nursing student who came to US from Brazil as
a child with her family. She's now applied for asylum.
She got pulled over. He used a signaled chat to
share her license plate number in her car's description because
(10:41):
he said she may be in the country without documentation.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Now.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Phil Wiser said that the law enforcement information shared with
federal immigration authorities could be a direct violation of state
laws passed last year. Those laws specifically prohibit Colorado State,
County and local employees from disclosing personal identifying information for
the purpose of investigating, for participating, in cooperating with, or
(11:08):
assisting in federal immigration enforcement. But is that law legal
when you start talking about supremacy of the federal government,
that's the question. So what is going to happen? Is
he going to put these people in jail? That's what
I want to know.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
What does he think? I mean, what are we going
to do here?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Because if I am this law enforcement officer, I'm going
to fight this and I don't know how it would
make it its way up to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
But why wouldn't it?
Speaker 1 (11:44):
These laws are clearly not clearly otherwise I would be
able to say clearly, but they're not. They don't make
a lot of sense when it comes down to the
federal supremacy clause.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
It really doesn't. So what are we supposed to do
with all this?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
So it is a very interesting thing that's going on.
I got an email from a Texter or an emailer
this morning. We said, Mandy, this case could feasibly end
up at the Supreme Court somehow.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
I'm like, yeah, I could. I don't know. We'll have
to wait and see. But Colorado, I'm dying to know.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I have a story on the blog today about how
Colorado will excuse me, California, Minnesota, and Illinois have ended
Medicaid for people who do not have legal status. Right,
They've just ended it, you know why, because they couldn't afford.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
To take the hit.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
Colorado is preparing to take the same hit.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
I'm just saying, what are we going to do here?
We have states?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
By the way, Louisville, Kentucky also run by Democrats for
the longest time.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I know that because I live there.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
They have ended their sanctuary policies in Louisville just repealed
them all because they were tagged a sanctuary city and
the federal government was like, hey, yeah, whatever money you
think you're getting, you're not getting it. And Louisville folded
like a cheap suit. I mean, just bam doing over nothing.
To see what happens in Colorado. We are we so
(13:22):
wedded to the virtue signaling that our mayor Mike Johnson
loves to talk about.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
We're a welcoming city. We welcome people. It doesn't matter
if they're here illegally or illegally, we welcome them.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Is it more important for Denver and Colorado to be
seen as a welcoming city or is it more important
that we're able to pay our bills and not cut
services and not fire employees. Now, don't get me wrong,
I'd love to see and no offense if you are
a state employee. But I'd love to see our state
government roles trimmed quite a bit. They've grown exponentially in
(13:57):
the last nine years. But that being said, is Colorado
so worried about looking good and being able to talk
at their boulder cocktail parties about how welcoming and warmed
they are as they hire security to keep the great
underwashed masses out of there.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Just saying.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Mandy, My exact thoughts were that he set this dumb
ugly walkway project up to show he listens to people
he knew would fail, and then listen to the voters.
Props to Polis for master manipulation, says this Texter. I
actually think there's something to that, but not for that reason.
I think we've got a special session coming up, We've
got Denver laying off people, We've got all kinds of stuff,
(14:44):
all kinds of stuff going on here that he doesn't
want to talk about.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
So why not gin.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Up this idiotic bridge to nowhere that everyone's gonna hate,
Get everybody talking about that, and then we don't talk
about the other stuff, right. I mean, it's a classic move.
It's very effective, very very effective. Great column on the
blog today by Joshua Scharff at Complete Colorado, page two,
although we have page two anymore now, it's just Complete
Colorado and the Headlight, Colorado's auto theft capital gives a
(15:13):
green light to car thieves. He starts the column by
sharing about how his car was stolen out of his driveway.
But then it gets better. Colorado, says Joshua Sharf, is
now routine lee one of the three worst states in
the country per capita for car theft. Denver Aurora Centennial
is the seventh worst metro area in the country. It
(15:35):
rated four hundred and thirty fifts per one hundred thousand people.
That was an improvement from twenty twenty three, when we
were the worst state overall with five hundred and eighty
three thefts per hundred thousand people. According to the FBI's
Crime Data Explorer, from nineteen eighty five until about two thousand,
Colorado averaged about one thousand stolen cars per month. Increasing
(15:57):
population and recession pushed that number slowly upward to briefly
touch two thousand in two thousand and six, before returning
to the previous average for another decade. Then, in twenty fourteen,
the Colorado legislature, without any dissenting votes, passed a law
to tie the level of criminal mischief for car theft
to the value of the car stolen, while lowering the
(16:20):
overall penalties. The sliding scale of punishment not only encouraged
more theft, but it also encouraged thieves to pick on
poor and working class people, and so unsurprisingly, carthift began
to rise again. In Denver reported theft's climb to nearly
fifteen thousand a year in twenty twenty two, fifteen thousand
(16:44):
in Denver.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Finally officials started to take action.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Theft rights have finally dropped after legislatures in the city
of Aurora enacted things like mandatory minimum sentences, and the
state legislature finally did an about face. Theft rates have
declined significantly to about three thousand per month statewide eighty
six hundred annually in Denver, But those numbers are still insane.
(17:10):
Why did you care about this? Why do you think
your auto insurance is so expensive? That is why we
have two things in Colorado. We used to just have
one thing. Which was hail damage.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Hale.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
We can't do anything about until I find someone who's
willing to run out into the parking lot and throw
their bodies over my car in every hailstorm.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
We're just gonna have to deal with Hale.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Right, it would be nice if we had more covered parking,
like at the iHeart Studios. I'm just saying, but the
reality is we can't control Hale, but we should be
able to do a better job controlling car thefs. And
here's the other kicker. The car thefts aren't just to
take the cars and sell them, right, that would be lovely.
Just take the cars, chop them up, sell them, do
(17:53):
whatever you're gonna do. But that's not how it works.
How it works is they steal the car and then
you to commit other crimes.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
Spoiler alert.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
In the column, they did catch the guy who stole
Joshua's car, and he is pressing charges. And that's the
only way to stop this. Press charges. Make sure people
who steal cars go to jail, not after they steal
the second and third car. As Bill Wiser Ones famously
said before that read the whole thing. It's very very interesting. Now,
(18:23):
if you've heard Rich Guggenheim on the show before I
want to give a special shout out because he has
written a book and just the cover art alone is
worth the purchase, even if you buy it on Kendall.
It's called Escaping the Rainbow Plantation. Gay rights activist Rich
Gugenheim exposes that gender ideology hijack the LGB movement, medicalized kids,
(18:45):
and corrupted institutions.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
You can buy it at the.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Link on my blog today at mandy'sblog dot com. That
music means that it's time to make way for the Rockies.
They will be playing the Saint Louis Cardinals and good
news you get to see Nolan aeronauto with Course Field again.
We'll be back tomorrow or I won't. I'll be back Friday.
