Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Bell and Pollock

Speaker 2 (00:05):
No, it's Mandy Connell and Donna.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
KOAM ninety one FM, sad Way.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
The Nicey's through three by Connell Keeping in the Rig
SAT Day.

Speaker 5 (00:26):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the first hour of a three
hour program.

Speaker 6 (00:30):
It is Tuesday. I am Mandy.

Speaker 5 (00:31):
That guy in the producer seat today, that's Grant Smith
in for a Roddy was doing our incredibly good coverage
of training camp that you can see on all of
our social media platforms at KOA, Colorado. He's really posting
some cool stuff, including Ross trying to Would you try
to What do you want to do?

Speaker 6 (00:48):
You want to catch him football? You want to cat
from the machine? Yeah? From the machine those The ball
comes out of that machine so fast.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
Have you ever gone to the NFL experience before the
Super Bowl?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
No, they have.

Speaker 6 (00:59):
You can do that there?

Speaker 7 (01:00):
Have you done it?

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:00):
Yeah, I've done it multiple Did you catch it? I
did catch the ball, but I was not successful in
the speed portion where you have to go through kind
of an obstacle course to get to where the pass
is coming.

Speaker 6 (01:11):
I caught the pass once I was there, but I
was a little slower than the other guy.

Speaker 7 (01:16):
I was just watching a receiver on the sidelines near
the end of practice the other day, just catching the
ball froming out of the machine.

Speaker 6 (01:22):
And it's not slow. No, it's got quite an arm
on it. Now, I'd like to just note one other thing.

Speaker 7 (01:30):
Who do you think is a better mustache the Broncos
new Australian punter or producer Grant?

Speaker 6 (01:38):
Grant's is a pretty good stash. Yeah, but it's not
as bushy as the as the punter. Yeah, what do
you think Grant? I thought, I'm going to give it
to the new Denver punter. Wow, I like that guy.

Speaker 5 (01:50):
Like, if you ask the new Denver punter that question,
you'd be like, that's not a mustache.

Speaker 6 (01:55):
This is a mustache. Nice, exactly nice.

Speaker 5 (01:59):
This little crock Dundee throw it back right there. Why
is Ross in the studio with me? Other than the
fact that we're pals, Well, funny you should ask ross Is. Also,
I'm gonna put my pinky out as I have my coffee,
as like.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
Rollis is now a fellow at the Common Sense Institute,
which means they've hired him for his brain.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
Certainly not his looks. Is it okay to put up
a pinky with coffee? I mean, I get it.

Speaker 8 (02:24):
I did.

Speaker 5 (02:25):
I couldn't do it with my coffee, I was I
didn't want to spill on myself. So yeah, I pinkied out,
but I was struggling to actually consume the coffee there
on that one. Yeah, I'm not a pinky out person apparently. Anyway,
Ross and two other experts from the Common Sense Institutrik
gam and Sergio yuckez Caro did a new policy paper

(02:46):
on Colorado health policy at a Crossroads. They say, growth,
costs and Consequences. Now, we're gonna do the blog in
eight minutes because Ross has to go in eight minutes.
And Ross said to me via text message, this is
a pretty dense topic. I'm afraid it won't be interesting.
And I said, shame, shame, Ross. We can make anything interesting.

Speaker 6 (03:05):
Okay, Okay, let's try. Let's talk about this because it
is a dense topic.

Speaker 5 (03:10):
But the reason this is so important is because healthcare
spending consumes the largest chunk of the Colorado budget period. Like,
that's why this matters. So what did you guys discover?
Give me the thumbnail sketch the elevator speech, if you will.

Speaker 7 (03:25):
Okay, So the thumbnail is, and this probably won't surprise
anybody listening to your show or mine that in the
last six years or so, there have been one hundred
and eighty two new bills coming out of our state
legislature about healthcare, and more than a third of them
expand and state healthcare services or add new regulation.

Speaker 6 (03:46):
Stuff like this.

Speaker 7 (03:47):
So, right, not surprisingly with the Democrat government, right, it
just keeps growing and growing and growing.

Speaker 6 (03:52):
But there's a couple of big problems.

Speaker 7 (03:54):
So one is when they did the expansion after Obamacare,
more people joined than so that's a cost to government.
And then in the short term, and this is really
the big thing for now, this well, let me say
there's two things. The expansion of the cost of Medicare,
even without the Big Beautiful Bill, is putting a big
squeeze on our state budget. As you said, it's an

(04:16):
enormous thing. And the cost of healthcare is going up
and the number of people on it and are going up.
And so even already before the Big Beautiful Bill, the
legislators were having to go find ways to cut the
state budget in order to not cut Medicaid and they
may come back in the special session if there is one,
and do it again, and then the Big Beautiful Bill
is going to massively reduce the amount of federal dollars

(04:38):
coming to Colorado, although not right away. Most provisions are
the Big Beautiful Bill that relate to Medicaid don't even
start until twenty eight and those will be the relatively
smaller ones, and then the huge ones are a couple
of years later.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
The interesting thing about this for me is that we
cover far too many people in our Medicaid program. We
cover illegal immigrants, we cover people who are a eble
bodied and don't have children.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
This is well beyond the scope of.

Speaker 5 (05:04):
The Medicaid program, and yet we have people who seem
very invested in making sure that no cuts to any
of those groups occurs. This is the classic scare tactic.
If you vote for that guy, he's going to take
away your Medicaid benefits.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
But the reality is they we can't afford this.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
We just can't afford it, so something's got to be done.
I mean, what's the bottom line here, Do you guys
just point out the growth or do you make any
hard suggestions?

Speaker 7 (05:31):
Well, a little of both, So we cover to me,
this is a shocking number, but about twenty percent of
the population of Colorado was on Medicare.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
Nineteen point two. Yeah, I read the paper, right, Okay,
so that nineteen percent number was the number at the
end of last year. Right now it's even a little higher.
So it's around twenty or twenty point two.

Speaker 7 (05:53):
Now it's drifted up. We used end of twenty twenty
four data in the paper.

Speaker 6 (05:58):
Do you know what the poverty rate here in Colorado is?
I don't. In twenty twenty two is nine point three percent. Right,
So this is supposed to.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Be healthcare for the poor, right and people who are
destitute who don't have any other options.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
And so by definition under Obamacare, the under the Obamacare
Medicaid expansion, they said you can get into this if.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
You are at one hundred and thirty thirty eight percent.

Speaker 7 (06:20):
So they're bringing in all these people, and then, like
you said, they're bringing in able bodied people of working age.

Speaker 6 (06:25):
Who don't have children. It's all pretty infuriating.

Speaker 7 (06:29):
There are actually lots of states that have a higher
percentage of their population on Medicaid than we do. But
per employee, we spend more than not employee, per enroll lye,
we spend more than average. And in general, the states
that did Medicare expansion under Obamacare are spending not just
more because they added more people, but they're spending twenty

(06:51):
three percent more per enrollee than the states that didn't
do the expansion. So to answer your question, what can
we do to reduce the cost of you can, well,
there is oh, go ahead, no go ahead, I'll just
real quick.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
You can reduce the number of people who qualify for Medicaid.

Speaker 7 (07:06):
You can reduce which kinds of medical treatments Medicaid will
pay for.

Speaker 6 (07:11):
You can reduce the amount of money you pay the
doctor for various treatments.

Speaker 7 (07:16):
And smarter people than I and people with political motivations
as well as economic ones, are going to be making
those decisions.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
I would love to see the federal government go to
a block grant for Medicaid. I think that they should
look at the last five years of spending, last ten years,
whatever average it out per person, and say, here is
your seventy five million dollars, seventy five billion dollars, whatever
it is. That's your Medicaid money, Colorado, and that's what
you get to spend if you want to see efficiencies

(07:44):
in the system. You have to limit the federal input
because right now it's just a slush fund. They tack
on all these stupid hospital provider fees that I think
were just killed in the big beautiful bill, or at
least limited or limited, and they created this Medicaid sort
of circular billing system here in Colorado. And as long
as the federal government's going to keep sending checks, they

(08:05):
have no incentive to fix the system.

Speaker 6 (08:07):
Yeah, I don't think. I'm sure you've talked about it
on your show.

Speaker 7 (08:10):
I don't think a lot of people understand just how
big this grift is when it comes to the unreal
these provider fees. So you know, there's one part of medicaid,
the old part of Medicaid, where if the state spends
a dollar, the federal government will send another thirty cents
or something like that. But the newer expansion part, this
whole grift. The state will spend a dollar and the
federal government matches it with nine dollars. Yeah, nine dollars.

(08:33):
And the thing is the states, including Colorado, they see
that and they feel like they can kind of expand
Medicaid a lot.

Speaker 6 (08:40):
It doesn't really cost very much.

Speaker 7 (08:42):
But now all of a sudden, you get the Trump administration,
and if the Trump people end up saying and they
haven't done this yet, but if they end up saying,
we're going to give you eight dollars instead of nine, right,
then you're going to be talking about just that is
going to be an eleven percent cut to the money
coming into Colorado. And these folks, the people who are
in charge now in Colorado are people who love medicaid

(09:02):
and always want it bigger. They are going to be
and they're going to have a very hard time, and
they're not gonna have a choice. They're gonna have to
do some combination of what I said.

Speaker 6 (09:10):
And I'm here for it.

Speaker 5 (09:12):
So I mean, when I first started looking into Medicaid
and how it was structured, I was in Florida, and
the match from Medicaid from the federal government in Florida
was fifty percent. Fifty percent if you look at the
way Florida does Medicaid, and you have to understand, in
Florida there are so many old people who rely on
Medicaid for long term care.

Speaker 6 (09:31):
Which is extremely expensive.

Speaker 5 (09:34):
So a big chunk of their Medicaid budget is already
allotted for that long term care needs.

Speaker 6 (09:39):
For people in poverty.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
So Florida has managed to keep their per person spending
dramatically lower than ours is, even though they're shelling out
for long term care situations for way more people in
Florida than they are in Colorado.

Speaker 6 (09:52):
I mean, it's like, what is the incentive to do better?

Speaker 5 (09:55):
As long as the federal government is willing to backfill
whatever you spend, And that's.

Speaker 6 (09:58):
What it's been up to this point.

Speaker 7 (10:00):
Yeah, I mean, you get a sugar daddy who will
let you go shop at Gucci just as well as
you can go shop it at Marshalls.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
Go to Gucci.

Speaker 5 (10:08):
I still go to Marshalls and pocket the difference. I'm
just saying I'm far too practical for that.

Speaker 6 (10:13):
All Right, boring guests Rock Kininsky, someone.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
Did ask will Mandy's boring guest or Ross's AI guest
be better?

Speaker 6 (10:21):
Ross did a pretty good job.

Speaker 5 (10:22):
I'll have to see how he does up against the AI.
I'm here on the way to see our friends at Region.

Speaker 6 (13:37):
Oh my gosh, you guys. I couldn't sleep last night.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
I've been sleeping so well because of the Blue Sky
CBD sleep jails that I've been taking. That's not a
paid commercial diss just my reality. And last night girl
woke up three thirty grant. I was like, I should
call Grant to see what we're gonna do on the
show today, because that's how I'm wide awake.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
I was well, actually I was away last night too. Well,
dang it missed opportunity.

Speaker 5 (14:04):
When I was a flight attendant, we flew to Europe
or like way out of our time zone. One of
our secrets that we had, and if you ever traveled
with a group of people, this is a great secret.
Although many hotel rooms no longer have phones in them,
I just realized that this is back in the day, though,
and I would you would call down to the front
desk and say, hey, can you turn on the message
light in so and so's phone, and if they were awake,

(14:25):
they would see it, and then they could call down
and find out who else was awake, and if they weren't,
I guess now you just sent a text.

Speaker 6 (14:31):
Well that was fun while it lasted. Gosh, that made
me feel like I was. I feel like I was
from olden times after telling you that story. But back
when we had the wagon wheels and we were going
across the planes in.

Speaker 5 (14:43):
The covered wagons, we had them turn on each other's lights.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
And now hotel rooms and then we knew we could
go get a drink together.

Speaker 6 (14:51):
And then Martha died of consumption. I mean, you know,
dysent terry took down the whole group.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
That was.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
That did make me feel really old when I realized that, like,
my daughter is never going to need that service. Right,
there's things that were an integral part of my life
that my daughter's just never going to need that thing,
not a thing, no landline, no we anyway, I did
not mean to go off on a tangent. Coming up

(15:22):
at one o'clock, we have my friend David Strom from
hot air dot com on to talk about a couple
of things. I saw a couple of stories yesterday and
have an email and said, hey, but I need John twice.
I need John on two things. So that is going
to happen. Hang on one second. I am in the
process number two call, and I'm gonna get to this

(15:49):
in one second. What I'm doing there. So he's got
a story on Glenn Kessler. If you're not a political junkie,
if you don't read the Washington Post regularly, First of all,
I haven't regularly read the Washington Post since I canceled
my subscription like five years ago. It used to be
every day I read the Washington Post, but it just

(16:09):
got so tedious. The thing that bugs me the most
about the Washington Post they have never apologized for anything
that they have won Pulitzer Prizes for it that they
then found out later was completely fabricated.

Speaker 6 (16:23):
They don't even have the decency to say, yeah, we're
sorry about that. Eh, oh bad.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
But nonetheless, Glenn Kessler has been working as a fact
checker at the Washington Post.

Speaker 6 (16:38):
For decades now. He's the guy that gives out five pinocchios. Oh,
this is the four pinocchio, three pinocchio.

Speaker 5 (16:46):
Except yesterday or the day before, I don't remember which
day he announced to you had taken a buy out
from the Washington Post. We'll talk about David. Talk about
this with David a little bit later on the show.
And someone posted that and said, oh, Glenn, you'll be missed,
and then people, because the internet is amazing on x
people started posting screenshots of all the garbage fact checks

(17:08):
he's done over the years that turned out to be
the exact opposite. And he's not just a fact checker.
He was snarky about it, like, oh yeah, scientists say
that could have never escaped from a Lamb, except.

Speaker 10 (17:22):
No, I do.

Speaker 5 (17:24):
So much stuff that he was just like cookline and
synchron and no apologies for being wrong and no shame.
If your job is to fact check and you get
so much stuff wrong, wouldn't you be embarrassed? Wouldn't you
just come to work on Dan and go You know what, Guys,
I don't think I'm very good at this. Maybe we
can find them me a new role. Since I keep
screwing this one. I don't feel like I'm nailing this

(17:45):
fact check thing very well. I'm really not getting it.
So Glenn Gessler's out and Jeff Bezos continues to remake
The Washington Post, so it could be very interesting to
see what happens at the Post. I love it if
the Washington Post became read again. And before you tell
me go to the Washington Times, I do, but the
Washington Times is biased in the other direction.

Speaker 6 (18:07):
I just want the news. I want the who, what, why, when, where? Whatever?

Speaker 5 (18:12):
I want the facts. I don't need you to tell
me what to think about it on either side. Now,
the interview that I'm trying to set up right now
at two thirty, which is not on the blog, but
there is a story about what we're going to talk about.
There is a social media account called do Better Denver,
and if you don't follow do Better Denver, you follow it,
don't you Grant?

Speaker 6 (18:32):
I think I follow it, but I know exactly what
you're talking about.

Speaker 5 (18:35):
Do Better Denver post videos of homeless people, urban outdoorsmen, garbage,
and they post it because our current administration seems to
be unaware of all of these things going on. But
a funny thing is happening from the Mayor's office. We

(18:56):
know that the mayor wants to know who's behind the
Do Better Denver account. It is an anonymously run account,
and now the Denver Post has been doing some sneaking
around and tomorrow I guess they have a story coming
out where they are going.

Speaker 6 (19:10):
To expose three whole people who.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
Have sent videos to do Better Denver to post online.
To be clearer, thousands of people have sent videos to
Do Better Denver and they're targeting three people. So we're
going to talk to Do Better Denver at some point
a little bit later in the show, but first we're
going to take a very quick time out, and when
we get back, I just have a quick question for

(19:33):
you because I realized something as I was making a
cup of coffee before the show. Oh, by the way,
the discount code for Blue Sky, Mandy, m A and
d Y gets thirty percent off forever, but not on
a subscription which is already discounted. Anyway, when we get back,
I have an unpopular opinion, and I want to know
if anybody else has the same unpopular opinion, or I

(19:58):
want to know what yours are. We're going to do
one segment of that, and then we're gonna do serious
stuff after that.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
I promise.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
You know, we've all had a teacher that made a
huge difference in our lives.

Speaker 6 (20:09):
I know I did.

Speaker 5 (20:10):
They believed in us, they helped me. One of my
favorite teachers helped me even when I went to college.
I would call her for advice and things of that nature.
And now iHeart has a program called Thank a Teacher.
It's powered by donors. Choose you can nominate an outstanding
public school teacher who's gone above and beyond for their students.
They could possibly win five thousand dollars to stock their classroom.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
It's easy to do it.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Go to nominate your favorite teacher at iHeartRadio dot com,
slash teachers and go ahead and submit that nomination and
maybe your favorite teacher can get a thank you in
the form of five thousand dollars for their school supplies.
So that's a very nice little thing that's going on there. Okay,
let's talk for a moment about Do Better Denver, because

(20:54):
they may be coming on the show today, but we
may record it.

Speaker 6 (20:57):
They have some trepidation.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
Under standably, the Denver Post is trying to out them
and anyone who's associated with them. It kind of turned
into like a Spartacus moment yesterday on Twitter, where me
and a lot of other people were saying, I am
do Better Denver. We're going to talk about a new
Spartacus reboot a little bit later in the show that
is so ridiculously unbelievable that I can't get behind it.

(21:22):
But I want to talk about an unpopular opinion that
I have, Grant. I want to know if you too
have an unpopular opinion that you'd like to share, and
you can talk to that by going to our text line,
our Common Spirit Health text line at five six six'.

Speaker 1 (21:34):
Nine, oh.

Speaker 6 (21:36):
And my own popular opinion is.

Speaker 5 (21:39):
This we have multiple ways you can consume coffee here At,
iHeartMedia and one of them is we have a cure.
Rig AND i know curregs are very, divisive BUT i
bring my own coffee pods from. HOME i buy them
Because i'm particular about. Coffee AND i just stood next
to the currig Here, grant AND i looked at the
little carousel of you're a. Cups we had a little.

(22:01):
Carousel it's. Full there's not one.

Speaker 4 (22:05):
Single coffee pod that's just, coffee crim, breulet, bananas, Foster.

Speaker 5 (22:11):
French, toast, chocolate, strawberry, cinnamon. SIR i hate they're all
these weird, peppermint mint or. WHATEVER i hate flavored. COFFEE

BEER i want beer to taste like, beer AND i.

Speaker 6 (22:28):
Want coffee to taste like. COFFEE i don't want to
have some weird flavoring in.

Speaker 5 (22:32):
It and we're we're less than a month away from pumpkin,
spice where everybody goes, crazy And i've now tried it
like three times.

Speaker 6 (22:39):

BREW i ugh so.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Good you, know IF i want pumpkin, SPICE i will
make pumpkin with some, spice and maybe.

Speaker 6 (22:50):
In the form of.

Speaker 5 (22:50):
Bread maybe. MUFFINS i don't, know but that is my
unpopular opinion today because apparently everyone besides me flavored, coffee
AND i don't even like like medium rose Cot NOW
i want dark roast. Coffee i'm pretty, straightforward pretty. Simple
give me a dark roast and just make it. Bold

(23:12):
make it navy. Coffee you know What i'm, Saying like
stick with the spoon. In it doesn't, move just cool
right in the. Middle, anyway that is my unpopular opinion for.
Today you can text me your unpopular opinion at five
sixty six nine, oh or you can text me to
tell Me i'm right about flavored, coffee BECAUSE i, clearly clearly.

Speaker 6 (23:30):
AM i have to.

Speaker 5 (23:33):
Ask the city Of denver is in the process of
laying off actual human beings from their.

Speaker 6 (23:39):
Jobs.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
NOW i do think that our government is so bloated
that we could stand to thin the herds a little.
Bit with that being, said choices are being. Made that's
kind of the point That i'm getting. To are the
mayor Of, Denver Mayor Mike johnston has seen to be
very okay with laying people off because he is not

(24:02):
taking measures THAT i think would make more. Sense for,
instance did you know that the city Of denver is
still giving out e bike. Vouchers what is an e bike,
voucher you might ask. Yourself, well, good it is a
voucher that will get you a discount on an e
bike that you buy at one of their participating bike.

(24:25):
Stores so you can't go to LIKE E bikes OR
us and get a cut rate e. Bike, nope you
have to go to one of their participating bike. Stores
so YESTERDAY i went to probably ten of their participating
bike stores to see what e bikes. Cost this e
byte rebake will give you four hundred and fifty dollars

(24:46):
off an e bike at any of these. Retailers that
sounds like a lot of, money, Right this is. Good
we're going to get poor people e. Bikes except the
rest of the e bike is going to cost you
about two grand. Geez, yes, WELL i could not fight
The the cheapest one THAT i found that was a full,
size like grown up. Bike you can find little kid
e bikes for, less but a full size grown up

(25:06):
e bike at the stores where you can use this.
Voucher the cheapest ONE i found was twenty four ninety,
Nine so we are you're still paying two grands, oh, yeah.
Easily so what we're doing is we're subsidizing e bike
purchases for people that already have, money because you can
make up to ninety eight thousand dollars a year and
still get one of these. Coupons but if you're making

(25:28):
twenty five thousand dollars a, year do you really have
two grand to spend on an e bike that more
than likely is not going to be your primary mode of,
transportation especially in the.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
Winter why Is denver still doing?

Speaker 5 (25:40):
THIS i, mean it seems to me like they could
have left this on the cutting room, floor not a
single person other than the bike shops who are benefiting
from this by taking a four hundred and fifty dollars.

Speaker 6 (25:52):
Coupon why are we still doing?

Speaker 5 (25:56):
This And Michael brown on a ON x earlier today
pointed out another idiotic expenditure of, money and that is
This denver is laying people off and at the same
time they're spending three million dollars three million dollars to

(26:21):
urge you to eat less.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
Meat i'm not. Kidding do you know what they're doing
it under the guise of saving the?

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Planet, yep. Yep and one of, them by the, way
is clearly clearly a campaign.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
Ad what DO i?

Speaker 5 (26:40):
Mean will the ads say things like eat less meat
or eat more plant based? Meals and then here's the
one that to me is clearly some kind of campaign
violation because they're using tax dollars to say the, following
vote for climate conscious. Leaders that is what your taxpayer

(27:01):
dollars are paying for right. Now the tips come from
a do more list That Mayor Mike johnston's administration posted
as part of its three million dollar marketing campaign that
aims to persuade residents to help the city reach its climate. Goals,
additionally posters have been popping up around the, city including foguns.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
That say it's the end of the end of the.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
World behind the public relations splits is The office Of Climate,
Actions sustainability And Resiliencies Do, more Do, Less Do something. Campaign,
notably the city said eating less meat and a host
of other actions would help.

Speaker 6 (27:39):
The planet and protect.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
COMMUNITIES i don't know if you're getting it from the
Way i'm reading, it BUT i despise everything in that marketing,
campaign AND i am absolutely annoyed that taxpayer, dollars not
a single dollars.

Speaker 6 (27:57):
Should have been spent on any of that clap trap
by the, way just in case we're.

Speaker 5 (28:02):
Wondering colorado's agricultural industry is the state's second largest economic.
Driver it accounts for about forty seven billion in. Activity
it employs more than one hundred and ninety five thousand.
People but let's keep attacking At. Democrats let's it'll be so.
Fun they do, more do, Less Do. Something campaign is

(28:25):
funded By Denver's Climate Protection, fund which voters approve to
raise forty million dollars each year for urgent action to
mitigate the causes of climate. Change, now isn't it interesting
that politicians can just take money out of things like
transportation and move it to other pet projects that they.

(28:48):
Have BUT i bet if you, said why are we
still spending this money on? This why are we not
putting it back in the city, coffers they would all
get the vapors.

Speaker 6 (28:55):
And, say, oh we can't do. That it's to save the.

Speaker 5 (28:59):
Environment so that's something that we're also paying. For AND
i hope you love it as much AS i. DO
i have bad news for, You, grant BECAUSE i know
The Garden grace is your anniversary. Restaurant is it still every? Year,
well they're now going to have a new executive. Chef

(29:20):

Name brent turnip but it does have AN e on
the end to kind of make it. Fancy brent Turnip.

Speaker 9 (29:33):
You?

Speaker 6 (29:33):
YEP i sure.

Speaker 5 (29:34):
Am that was one of Those Old west, insults you
know WHAT i? Mean, like you watch what did we
watch the other? Day we watched was It Big jake
With John? Wayne and at one point he goes and
picks a bar fight with the biggest guy in the
bar and stops the fight by, going you ever been To?
Nagodosius that's where he stops the.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
Fight the other guy's, like Naggot? Noosius?

Speaker 5 (29:56):
What and what's funny Is chuck had said to me
the day, before you ever been To? Nagagdosius AND i,
went what he's, Like Big? Jake he's, LIKE i got,
Nothing i'd no idea what you're talking. About and then
it happened to be on the next day and he
showed me what he was talking. About but, yeah you're
a real turn up. Seed that was like An Old west. Insult, well,

(30:16):
Now Brent turnups the former executive chef has Left guard And.

Speaker 6 (30:20):
Grace they're looking for a new executive, chef which is
always a little.

Speaker 5 (30:24):
UNNERVING i had a friend who has since passed away
In louisville who was a wonderful chef and he had several,
properties and he would when he was hiring a new,
chef he would Invite chuck AND i to come in and.
Try because they make you cook for, you. Right they basically,
say go in the, kitchen show me what you, got,
Right so you have to cook for whoever's hiring.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
You that's part of the. Process and he would always call.

Speaker 5 (30:49):
Us and, HEY i got a guy's working on the,
menu come on, down and it would just like Get
we were the focus. Group it was, fantastic one of
the greatest FRIENDSHIPS i ever.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Had, WELL i would Imagine Troy, guard who Owns, yeah
The tag restaurant group And Garden grace and former guest
of The Taking it For granted. Podcast, YES i would
imagine he'll have a pretty strenuous interview process for whoever's coming.
In AND i, mean to be, honest there's so many
chefs there that are. WORKING i, mean you can see
the kitchen while you're while you're Eating, Yeah AND i

(31:21):
mean it's got to be basically like routine for.

Speaker 6 (31:23):
Them it's not like their menu as as that.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
Adventurously here's the thing you want in my, view, okay
as a as a you, know former restaurant. Manager in my,
view when you have a restaurant of the caliber Of Garden,
grace you want to if you have the, opportunity you're
going to bring in an executive.

Speaker 6 (31:40):
Chef you want someone who is going to maintain the.

Speaker 5 (31:43):
Integrity of your core menu, items Right like they're not
going to change any of the fan.

Speaker 6 (31:47):
Favorites they're not going to mess with the.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
Steaks they're not going to do that At Garden, Grace
but you do maybe that's an opportunity to maybe freshen your,
menu maybe you, know lean in on different things that.

Speaker 6 (31:58):
You're not leaning in on.

Speaker 5 (31:59):
Now so it's it's important to get the right. Fit
and you also don't want to bring in like A
Gordon ramsey when you don't have A Gordon ramsey vibe
in your, kitchen you, know and you're you gotta have
the Right it's it's almost, LIKE i this is gonna
sound so stupid to some, people BUT i promise you
that in a well run, restaurant it is a, symphony,

(32:19):
Right it's a symphony of, people especially in the, kitchen
and if you get somebody who messes up the, music
it is, very very. Disruptive SO i hope that they
find a new chef and if anybody would like to
executive former executive Chef brent Turnip.

Speaker 6 (32:34):
Seed but the coolest name.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
Ever did they starting his own restaurant or?

Speaker 6 (32:39):
Something, no it WAS i saw, this, wait hang on
the quote here.

Speaker 5 (32:44):
Is Turnip seed Told fox thirty one On monday that
he's looking for a new opportunity as, well and provided
the following. Statement troy AND i have known each other
over ten years and both felt like the restaurant and
myself had different.

Speaker 6 (32:55):
Needs i'm currently looking for a new.

Speaker 5 (32:57):
Opportunity that sounds like to me that he wanted to,
experiment maybe wanted to open the menu, up maybe wanted
to do, things and And Troy gard was, like, Nah
i'm good for good. Reason if it's not, broke thank you,
WELL i fix it. Exactly you, know and especially in
this environment when it's so challenging In, denver or have

(33:18):
a restaurant minimum wage and you, know people's dining habits
have changed and all of that, Stuff so you don't
want to rock the. Boat and don't get me, Wrong
i'm not saying anything That Brent Turnip steed.

Speaker 6 (33:27):
Wanted to do was. Bad we don't. Know it just
sounded like he wanted.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
To move in a different direction and someone will be
able to hire him and get his services as. Well
but that's that's a pretty plum, job you, know it really.
IS i, mean if you're a, chef that is a plum.
Position all, right we're going to take a quick time
out when we get. Back my Friend David strong from
hotair dot com joins. Me YESTERDAY i had, two not,
one but two articles on hot air dot com THAT

(33:53):
i was, like, DUDE i got.

Speaker 6 (33:54):
To talk to you about this.

Speaker 5 (33:55):
ONE i don't think we are over stating it when
we say That trump shocked.

Speaker 6 (34:03):
The world with THE eu deal this.

Speaker 5 (34:05):
Weekend THE eu trade deals insanely good for The United.
States we gave up nothing and got everything in. Return
and we're gonna talk about. That And Glenn, kessler he
who used to give out the pinocchios At Washington, post
is gone at the end of this. Month i'm not
sad about it at, all and it's been kind of

(34:25):
funny to see people react on The internet by posting
his garbage fat checks before and he also wrote a
column on The Sydney sweeney.

Speaker 6 (34:33):
Kerfuffle AND i.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Really don't care about, this AND i think the only
reason that it's a story is guys just want to
have an excuse to keep watching the.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
COMMERCIAL i don't understand it, either So i'd love. IT
i can't wait to hear his. TAKE i REALLY i don't.
KNOW i don't know Why Sidney sweeney is A. Nazi
i'm genuinely confused by, this but he talked about it.

Speaker 6 (34:54):
All will do that.

Speaker 1 (34:54):

Show I'm Mandy. Connell that guy over there in For Anthony,
rodriguez who was doing amazing coverage of training camp on
all of our social media platforms AT, Koa Colorado Grant
smith in for a Rod. Now YESTERDAY i was perusing
hot air dot, com AS i am prone to do on,
occasion AND i saw a couple of stories by my
Friend David, strom and he mailed him immediately and, said not,

(35:48):
one but two THINGS i must speak with you.

Speaker 6 (35:51):
About, So David, strong welcome back to the. Show first of, all.

Speaker 8 (35:56):
It's always my pleasure he did.

Speaker 5 (35:59):
Say anything for you WHEN i, said you want to
come on the show tomorrow and talk about.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
It so here you.

Speaker 4 (36:04):
Are let's.

Speaker 8 (36:05):
Start i'm going to regret that NO i will ask you.

Speaker 5 (36:08):
What you're going to do for a klondake, bar THOUGH
i mean that's really what everybody wants to. Know let's
start with a tariff story, first BECAUSE i, think and
please correct me If i'm, wrong you AND i have
shared a viewpoint On trump's use of tariffs that perhaps
the endgame was not the tariff, itself but the tariff
was a tool to, push, shove cajole whatever you want

(36:33):
word you want to use people that were cutting trade
deals with to achieve other.

Speaker 6 (36:38):
Goals is that a fair assessment of your view thus?

Speaker 9 (36:41):
Far, ABSOLUTELY i think the evidence is very clear that
that that is what he has. Done When trump's start
talking about tariffs months and months. AGO i thought it
was an open question because he talked about, terriffs big beautiful,

(37:02):
tariffs as if they were good in. Themselves AND i
wrote several pieces Saying trump's terift strategy can either be
pure genius or a recipe for, disaster depending upon what
he was trying to. Do AND i was at about
sixty five thirty five thinking this was, negotiation not that

(37:25):
he thought teriffs were good in. Themselves AND i think
that has turned out to be ninety percent correct with one,
edition which Is trump had a goal to create what's
essentially a cover charge for foreign countries to get in the.

(37:49):
Door you, know, basically you pay fifteen bucks and you
have a two drink.

Speaker 5 (37:54):
Minimum you say cover, CHARGE i say cost of, admission,
RIGHT i mean it's the price to. Ride you want
access to our, Markets here's what it's going to cost.

Speaker 9 (38:06):
You.

Speaker 8 (38:08):
Yeah, NO i think that's exactly.

Speaker 9 (38:10):
Right and it's based Upon trump's really genius recognition that
there is no alternative for companies to be successful if
they cannot get into The United. States there's just no
other economy out there that has this much consumer. Power

(38:32):
and it's based the reason why a lot of people
don't understand this is they look at The United states and, say,
well they're the largest, economy but they're still only twenty
to twenty five percent of the. World but that actually
hides an important, fact which is we're about seventy five

(38:55):
percent of the consumer economy in the, world which is
a totally different. THING i, mean there's h we have
a lot more disposable rights.

Speaker 5 (39:07):
And that that that there's the Rub, YEAH i would
some of the most interesting commentary That i've seen on
this is the commentary about the fact that this is
an upending of the world order Since World War. Two
because After World War, two we were the lone industrial,
power we were THE, uh we were, everything we were a,

(39:29):
superpower and The Cold war was going, on so we
had to have this aggressive footing that we. Had but
since The Cold war is, over, ESSENTIALLY i, mean we
still have conflagrations around the, world but as as.

Speaker 6 (39:41):
The Cold world was, over we were still in the same,
position especially when it came To. Europe and this is
some of the commentary scene on the deal that they
made with THE.

Speaker 5 (39:49):
Eu europe has always been a benefactor of The United
states in terms of our military. PROWESS, Uh they've had
pretty unfettered access to our markets up to this, point
and in return we sort of accepted or or were
given that unchecked superpower status by. Them it's, like, oh
it's The United. States we're going to get access to their,

(40:12):
markets but they're going to take care of us. Militarily
trump is the first guy to come along and say,
no that's not good, enough where that that dynamic needs to.
End and he's one hundred percent right about. That WHAT
i find, Fascinating, david is that there are still commentators
out there who don't understand.

Speaker 6 (40:31):
How trump views. Things, Right he's viewing things like you
need me more THAN i need. You let's do a
deal that reflects. That and that's what we saw in
THIS eu.

Speaker 9 (40:42):
Deal oh that's one hundred percent. RIGHT i MEAN us
trade policy for The Postcold war. Era it was essentially
the same AS us trade policy during The Cold. War
and we had that policy in The Cold war basically
because we, wanted you, Know europe basically to bend to our.

(41:07):
Will so what the deal, was you're going to get economic.
Benefits you, know you're not going to have to spend
money on defense as you as you might otherwise have,
to and you're, going you, know from The Marshall plan
to favorable trade and all of. That but that means
that when foreign policy comes, along you guys are going

(41:30):
to do what we.

Speaker 8 (41:31):
Say that was the, deal.

Speaker 9 (41:34):
And you, know during The Cold war it made a
lot of sense to do, that but in a lot
of ways over the past fifteen twenty years things have totally.
Inverted we still have this position where we've been given
Europe an incredible deal and they've been trying to bully
us net, zero all the censorship, stuff the Regulating american,

(41:59):
companies they're looking down their noses and trying to bully.
Us they're interfering in our. Politics actually far more Than russia.
DOES i mean THE uk, actually you, know The Labor
party sent campaign workers for Domal.

Speaker 8 (42:15):
Ayrs you, know compare that to anything.

Speaker 9 (42:18):
You, Know putin was supposed to have. Done it's far.
Worse you, know THE eu tried to Keep trump off
Of twitter OR. X i mean they literally Threatened Elon
musk with billions of dollars of fines for Allowing Donald
trump to speak ON. X so you, know we really

(42:41):
got to rebalance, things and you, Know trump basically kicked
them in the shins and you, know about two feet.

Speaker 5 (42:49):
HIGHER i was going to, SAY i was going to,
say you kicked them a bit, higher but then you
added that on. THERE i do want to correct. Myself
one of our texters pointed, OUT i said beneficient benefactor
instead of. Beneficiary europe has been our beneficiary for all
of these.

Speaker 6 (43:04):
Years it's been really.

Speaker 5 (43:05):
Interesting to Watch trump, negotiate not just the trade, deals
but also the way he has approached dealing With, putin you,
know with the just the wild flattery leading up to,
negotiations but then Once putin demonstrated clearly he doesn't really
give a ratspetutity What trump.

Speaker 6 (43:23):
Thought now the rhetoric has.

Speaker 5 (43:24):
Changed so do you think that because we are now
two days away from the sort of, big beautiful, tariffs
the blanket tariffs to go into effect on all of
the nations that have not.

Speaker 6 (43:36):
Cut trade deals WITH.

Speaker 5 (43:37):
Us we were told we're gonna get two hundred trade,
deals how many of these smaller players begin to fall
now that THE, Eu japan and somewhat Of china has been. Announced, well.

Speaker 8 (43:54):
You put me on the, spot because you know the short.

Speaker 9 (43:56):
ANSWERS i don't, know BUT i think that most of
The doma knows are going to.

Speaker 8 (44:01):
FALL i, mean the THE.

Speaker 9 (44:03):
EU i mean you have to remember they started, out
as Said, china with you, know basically Flipping trump the,
bird thinking, that, uh you, know he was going to back.
Off remember the whole taco. Thing trump always chickens out
that The democrats were, pushing uh and, uh you, know

(44:24):
clearly The europeans figured, out, no he's not going to chicken.

Speaker 8 (44:27):
Out, uh you, know he's he's going to squeeze us.

Speaker 9 (44:31):
By you, know he's got to buy the short hairs and,
uh you, Know trump understands that now With. Putin H
a lot of people don't understand the reason why he
always Flattered putin is not because he Loved, putin but, because,
uh he saw That putin is driven often by this
sense of. Insecurity H russia has been for actually, centuries

(44:57):
has always seen itself as in To. Europe you, know
if you, Look russian food is just Modified french food
because they, wanted you, Know france was the big.

Speaker 8 (45:10):
Player you, know in the eighteenth.

Speaker 9 (45:13):
Century they always wanted to be A Western european country
and they always knew that they. Weren't and that same
thing is true. Today so he's trying To he tried
to Flatter. Putin NOW i think he wants to crush.

Speaker 6 (45:27):
Him, yeah, OH i, AGREE i.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
AGREE i mean he did the exact same thing in
his first term With Kim young un Of North. Korea
remember that whole flirtation With Kim young. Un and then
when he Realized Kim young un is crazy and cannot
be reasoned, with he just moved. ON i don't think
you said the guy's name in the last eight. YEARS i,
MEAN i just he just ceased to, exist so because

(45:49):
he's not important enough to need any. Time so you,
know the tariffs so far have not been have not
caused a direct rise in prices of any real.

Speaker 6 (46:00):
Significance we have not seen that.

Speaker 5 (46:01):
Yet it remains to be seen what kind of impact
on prices this is going to have in the long.

Speaker 6 (46:06):
Term BUT i do think coming off the heels of.

Speaker 5 (46:09):
Inflation this is gonna sound so, crazy but coming off
the heels of that massive jump in prices that we
just went through in the last few, YEARS i think
companies are going to be far less likely to pass
those costs on to the consumer because they know the
consumers have hit their breaking.

Speaker 6 (46:25):
Point on a lot of.

Speaker 5 (46:26):
Stuff so it's going to be very interesting to see
how this all plays. Out AND i do think it
is a fair statement to say that thus far on
Tariff's trump is.

Speaker 9 (46:36):
Winning, yeah oh, Absolutely and even economists are saying. That
there are a bunch of economists who have come out and, said,
WELL i think we were wrong on, This and you,
know some of that has to do with the fact
that they Misunderstood trump's, strategy and a lot of it
has to do with the fact that.

Speaker 8 (46:58):
If you look at this is always the case in economics.

Speaker 9 (47:02):
Or any social, science or any science for that, matter
you break things down into little chunks and you look
at them in. Isolation you create, models and the only
way that you can do that is to disambiguate by
throwing out all other. Variables, so you, know it's like

(47:23):
when you're doing ballistics when you first learn, it you
leave out wind, resistance you leave out all, sorts you,
know all sorts of, variables just so that you, understand in,
principle here's how things. Work you, know in, principle you
drop a feather in a bowling ball and they'll fall
at the same. Rate only in the real world they

(47:45):
don't because of all the other. Variables same thing with the.
Terriffs there are just so many variables in there that
economists just you can't model the real world in the same.

Speaker 5 (47:59):
Way economists kind of suck at human behavior when you
get right down to an economists do a bad job
mitigating for human, behavior which is in.

Speaker 6 (48:08):
A lot of areas kind of.

Speaker 5 (48:10):
Predictable you, know we're all moved in a very similar.
Way we could do that conversation another, time BUT i
want to talk about something different BEFORE i run out of.
Time talking With David strom from hot are dot. Com,
yesterday he had an Article Glen kessler of The Washington,
post he of the Fact checker, page giving out the.
Pinocchios we won't Have Glen kessler's fact checks to kick

(48:31):
around anymore because he's out at The Washington. Post he
has taken a buyout By Jeff bezos And. DAVID i
don't know if you saw ON x, yesterday whenever anyone
would comment about, this people would start lighting up the
replies with all of the absurd fact checks That Glenn
kessler has done over the recent years that turned out
to be completely, wrong, right just totally. Wrong it's been

(48:55):
a wild. Time what do you think is happening over
at The Washington post right? Now where do do this
thing end?

Speaker 9 (49:00):
Up, well they're Clearly Jeff bezos is clearly really tired.

Speaker 8 (49:09):
Of all the drama over.

Speaker 9 (49:11):
There if you, look you know it's not Just Jack Glenn,
kessler It's Taylor lorenz's, Gone Jennifer.

Speaker 8 (49:19):
Ruben Philip.

Speaker 9 (49:20):
BUMP i, mean you can go down the list and
all the most irritating people are being kicked, out and,
they you, know not, once but several. Times there have
been memos that have gone. Out they haven't named, names
although you don't know what conversations took place behind closed,

(49:43):
doors but they were all basically of the you, know
get on board or get out.

Speaker 8 (49:49):
VARIETY i love, that by the.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
WAY i love.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
That it's almost like there's a new sheriff in, town
and if you want to play, ball then we'll play.
Ball but if you, don't don't let the door hit
you where the Good lord split you kind of.

Speaker 6 (50:00):
Thing you, know like bye.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Bye.

Speaker 6 (50:01):
YEAH i would love to know.

Speaker 5 (50:06):
If the fact check industry as it really exists right
now hopelessly left. Wing every major fact check out At
PolitiFact left. Wing we've got these guys left Wing we've Got,
snopes which is just whack of do left wing, like
don't even bring me A snopes fact check. Anymore are

(50:26):
we seeing the end of the fact check industry because
they were so demonstrably, wrong especially DURING, Covid.

Speaker 9 (50:37):
Yes and, NO i mean they. CERTAINLY i think that
the fact check industry is. Dying it will survive to
some small extent because there's a market for, it in
the way that there's a market FOR.

Speaker 8 (50:54):
Msnbc.

Speaker 9 (50:56):
Uh you, know it's it's not dead dead, dead but
it's going to be really a niche. Thing AND i
you know it's going to be you, know The Los
Angeles times probably won't have anyone doing, It The Washington
post won't have anyone doing.

Speaker 8 (51:14):
It you'll still have the nonprofits like LID a Fact.

Speaker 6 (51:19):
See that are out.

Speaker 5 (51:20):
THERE i don't even know if they're going to survive
BECAUSE i THINK ai is going to kill fact.

Speaker 6 (51:23):
Checking and here's.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
Why because right NOW i can go to groc, OR
i can go to CHAT, gbt my best, friends by the,
way we're, pals we hang out all the, time.

Speaker 6 (51:32):
AND i can say To, grock give me this side
of this.

Speaker 5 (51:36):
Issue give me the left version of medicaid, expansion AND
grok can pull up all kinds of data and give
me a very clear picture of the left view of that.
Issue and THEN i can, say give me the right
version of, this AND grok can do the same. Thing
SO i can essentially fact check. MYSELF i don't need
to have someone else interpret the. DATA i can look
up WHAT i want to look. UP ai can split

(51:57):
out the, information and THEN i can figure out my own.
Mind AND i think it's more people realize that THAN
i think that a human fact checker with the notion
of bias and all of that other, stuff AND i
REALIZE ai has bias as, Well but the perception that
a human being is probably more likely to inject their
bias in still exists even THOUGH ai is not.

Speaker 9 (52:18):
Perfect you're, rational, Though oh there is a midway class out,
there the people WHO i call them the one point
FIFTEEN iq. Set you, know they are above average and
intelligence but think they're way smarter than they actually.

Speaker 8 (52:36):
Are, yeah and they love, Credentials they love.

Speaker 9 (52:41):
Authority they love being able to SAY i read it
in The New York times or The, atlantic and.

Speaker 8 (52:49):
You know it massages their.

Speaker 9 (52:52):
Ego they don't actually want to know what the reality
is they want someone to confirm their prejudices, right and
so oh you, know they're the people who love and
pr because it tells them they're good, people because they
Hate Donald.

Speaker 8 (53:08):
Trump AND i like. YOU i like the for.

Speaker 6 (53:12):

Speaker 6 (53:53):
Yesterday, david we should talk.

Speaker 9 (53:56):
About this Because i've got an article coming up tomorrow about.
It because there's there is actually a new. Angle there
there's now a woke right version of. This really it's The.

Speaker 8 (54:13):
Jews oh of.

Speaker 6 (54:15):
Course, yeah it's always The. Jews, okay, Yeah, NO i.

Speaker 5 (54:20):
Just have a firm policy THAT i have A bs

Speaker 6 (54:28):

to is always my.

Speaker 8 (54:32):
Friend all, right thanks a, lot, bandy all, right.

Speaker 6 (54:35):
We'll talk to you.

Speaker 5 (54:36):
Soon That davidstrom fromhatter dot. Com LET cnn make one
more comment about the, tariffs you. Know and by the,
way this video is on the blog, TODAY i really
urge you to go watch, it just to watch.

Speaker 6 (54:50):
The faces of the people ON.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Cnn you would think they were reporting on a plane
crash the way their little faces look so disappointed in this.

Speaker 6 (54:59):
Exchange is it?

Speaker 10 (55:00):
All the bottom line is this is the biggest trade
deal In President trump's effort to effectively reshape the global
trading order that has been one of his central priorities
since taking office In. January he's been issuing many threats of,
tariffs but they clearly have been working in terms of
bringing other, countries allies and adversaries alike in some cases

(55:23):
to the negotiating. Table and the latest example was today
here In scotland when the leader of The European, commission
who of course is negotiating afore The European, union she
agreed to a fifteen percent across the board. Tariff, now
that is significantly higher than the ten percent of tariff's
in existence now, since but it's much lower than the

(55:47):
thirty percent threat that was coming On friday and the
fifty percent threat that was made In. May so clearly
there has been an instance where The president has been
using his threats of higher tariffs as a negotiating.

Speaker 2 (55:59):
Tact this, case it certainly.

Speaker 8 (56:01):
Worked.

Speaker 6 (56:02):
Huh LET'S cnn.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
Fascinating fascinating, that by the, way is on the blog.
Today that's ALL i had to say about. That if
you've LOST, cnn you've lost the. Narrative by the, way
you knew who else came out and SAID i was
wrong About trump on.

Speaker 6 (56:20):
Tariffs Bill, Maher Bill, maher who never.

Speaker 5 (56:27):
Has anything good to say About. TRUMP a lot of
people are eating crow on. This i'm not ready to
say that the tariffs have worked exactly As trump said
they were going to. Work i'm not willing to say
that yet because anything that impacts us. Economically you have
to kind of wait a little bit to see what
happens in the long. Term but just the fact that

(56:48):
so many of our major trading partners have come to
the table and have freed up a lot of stuff
giving us access to their markets in a way that
we haven't had. BEFORE i already that right there is
A Secs so we've got that going for.

Speaker 6 (57:02):
Us, Hey, grant have you ever heard that you need
to walk ten thousand steps a? Day have you heard?

Speaker 5 (57:07):
This everybody's heard. It by the, way that's a trick,
question of course you. Have do you know where that
ten thousand steps a day number came?

Speaker 4 (57:12):
From no.

Speaker 6 (57:13):
IDEA i found out the details.

Speaker 5 (57:15):
TODAY i knew it was from A japanese marketing campaign
for a. Pedometer so they had a new pedometer thing
that counts you, steps and The japanese were trying to
come up with a way to get people buy, it
and they chose ten thousand. Steps for one, reason it
wasn't based on any health. Guidance In japanese, characters the

(57:37):
number ten thousand.

Speaker 4 (57:38):
Looks like a person. Walking, oh so it's all just
a marketing marketing. Scheme But i'll have to inform my.

Speaker 5 (57:45):
Grandma, well just before you tell grandma too, Much i've
got better news. Now actual science on how many steps
you really need to take in a day is. Out
so we have a real science, now and good news
for those of you that thought ten thousand was too
high a bar to. Reach seven thousand steps is the

(58:06):
is the number the sweet spot if you. Will, now
walking at all on a daily basis is like a miracle.
Drug according to a new, study people who took at
least seven thousand steps a day almost had their risk
of all cause, mortality that, is their chance of dying
of any cause within a certain period of. Time even

(58:27):
walking four thousand steps a day showed marked reductions in
the risk of cardiovascular, disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, depression and.
Falls though the benefits did continue with higher daily step,
counts the size of improvements slowed down after seven thousand,
steps meaning this could be a more achievable target for

(58:48):
people instead of ten thousand, steps and in all, honesty
after seven thousand steps the differences were so minimal that
it's almost, like, eg you don't need those three, thousand
so really just stop as. Them, yeah seven is all you.
Need seven is the magic. Number after that the but
listen to. This at seven thousand, steps the results were.

(59:10):
Dramatic all couse mortality went down by forty seven, percent
the risk of dementia fell thirty eight, percent falls by
twenty eight, percent and cardiovascular disease by twenty five. Percent
there were also reductions of the risk of, depression type, two,
diabetes and. Cancer walking is a miracle, drug you. Guys

(59:30):
exercise is the miracle drug that we've all been waiting.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
For it really.

Speaker 5 (59:34):
IS i have a story on the blog today About
alzheimer's disease and a pretty significant study about making, big,
big big lifestyle changes and the impact that it has
On alzheimer's.

Speaker 6 (59:50):
DISEASE i, mean this is a very, very very big.

Speaker 5 (59:53):
Deal so they took people who had been recently diagnosed
With alzheimer's disease and they put them on a, plan
a workout, plan and a nutrition. Plan, now studying nutrition
is notoriously difficult because generally, speaking people want to eat
what they want to, eat and they lie and they
cheat on these long longitudinal, studies, right they just. Lie

(01:00:17):
but when you tell someone With, alzheimer's we think making
lifestyle choices can actually slow down Your alzheimer's or even
reverse some of the.

Speaker 6 (01:00:24):
Damage people tend to adhere to it a little bit.
Closer so.

Speaker 5 (01:00:31):
After twenty weeks they were talking about one of the
specific people that was in the. Study after twenty weeks
in a randomized clinical trial designed to drastically change, diet,
exercise stress, level and social interactions made as cognition made
at being a woman, improved she was able to read
and recall novels and correctly balanced.

Speaker 6 (01:00:52):
Spreadsheets.

Speaker 5 (01:00:52):
AGAIN a blood test even found levels of, amyloid a
hallmark Of alzheimer's.

Speaker 6 (01:00:57):
Disease were retreating in. Her so not only does it stave.

Speaker 5 (01:01:04):
Off alzheimer's, disease it can actually in some cases reverse. It,
NOW i will say, this this did not work for.
Everyone it worked for a little less than. Half but
this is one of those things Where i'm trying to
think of the best way to say this without being really.

(01:01:24):
Insulting some people get a, disease especially a disease like this,
one and they're going to sit down and die very very,
slowly maybe, quickly but they're going to sit down and
die because they've been given this disease and that's all
there is to, it and they're just not going to
do a whole lot about, it, Right and then there

(01:01:44):
are people who are, Like i'm not going out like.

Speaker 6 (01:01:46):
This i'm going to do everything in my.

Speaker 5 (01:01:48):
POWER i have a very good friend who eventually did
pass of a very aggressive form of. Cancer but when
the doctor's here SAID i we're tapped. Out there's nothing
else we can. Do he flew To mexico for a
whole series wack of dooodal treatments that actually gave him
like another eighteen months of life because he just was,
Like i'm gonna fight it with Everything i've. Got so
if you're a fight it with everything you've, got, person

(01:02:10):
it's time to pay attention to Doctor Dean. Ornish he
is big on plant based diets to reverse cardiovascular. Disease
and this he's the guy that actually presented this. Study
forty six percent showed, improvement thirty seven point five.

Speaker 6 (01:02:27):
Percent showed no decline in.

Speaker 5 (01:02:30):
Cognition then over eighty three percent of patients improved or
maintained their cognition during a five month. Program Now i'm
guessing that each of these people is probably doing the
exact same things that they were doing. Before, Right if
you know that it's, working then, yeah you're gonna keep doing.

Speaker 6 (01:02:50):
It what's in the lifestyle?

Speaker 5 (01:02:52):
Intervention he calls it eat, well move, more stress, less
and love. More this is the second time Or niche
has done. It the first time a randomized clinical trial
that coronary artery disease could be reversed with nothing more than, diet,
exercise stress, reduction and social. SUPPORT i, mean nobody wants
to eat a vegan diet on, purpose, RIGHT i, Mean

(01:03:14):
i'm just going to be. Honest although it has gotten
a lot easier to get a, vegan to be a,
vegan the vegan food is so much better than it
was WHEN i was a. Kid WHEN i was a,
kid we would have to go to the weird health
food store every once in a. While it always smelled
that in. There isn't there a weird health food store In?

Speaker 6 (01:03:30):
Athens the? Pharmacy oh, yes, yeah but it also smells.

Speaker 4 (01:03:35):
Weird it's so, weird and everybody in there just looked
sick and pasty delicious honey in there, Though oh, really we.

Speaker 6 (01:03:44):
Can Get my neighbor has bees, now And i'm not gonna.

Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
Lie it's ALTHOUGH i will say the honey That roskaminsky
gave me might be some of the finest HONEY i
have ever had in my.

Speaker 6 (01:03:53):
Life And i'm something of a honey.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
Snob, well you, Know i've Asked ross for his honey multiple,
times and you, know to make the.

Speaker 6 (01:03:59):
Cut, SOMEHOW i never make the.

Speaker 5 (01:04:00):
Cut you should probably, Compliment i'm on how much fun
you had during this Show, Again.

Speaker 6 (01:04:06):
I'll be right.

Speaker 5 (01:04:07):
Back there's got to be a lot of, Jobs like
if you're a, Nurse i'm figuring you got to hit
those kind of. Steps IF i had that kind of,
JOB i would absolutely wear a fitness. TRACKER i wear
it now and IF i most DAYS i get like
ninety five.

Speaker 6 (01:04:25):
Hundred and WHEN i.

Speaker 5 (01:04:26):
First got my fitness, tracker he used to aggravate me
THAT i wouldn't get into ten, thousands So i'd go
walk around my house for five hundred.

Speaker 6 (01:04:31):
Step Now i'm, LIKE i don't. CARE i just don't. Care,
like what do you?

Speaker 5 (01:04:35):
Do you do you have a fitness TRACKER a? Grant,
Nope i'm at five thousand something steps right, now six.

Speaker 4 (01:04:41):
Thousands SO i go on a walk almost every day
that's about two miles.

Speaker 5 (01:04:44):
Long that's WHAT I that'll get me to about five thousand.
Steps that's WHAT i do in the. Morning, yeah, wow
that's just that that is about five for. Me it's
about five thousand steps because they do that with jinks
in the. Morning So i've only had a thousand steps
SINCE i went on that. Walk that's what iationary job
and a desk will do for, you you, know. Totally,
Hey Denver Public, schools, well you know, What The Denver

(01:05:08):
gazette did not necessarily say the word, lied But i'm
going to say the word lied because you may, Remember
Denver Public schools filed a federal lawsuit against THE Us
department Of Homeland security In. February district leaders claimed one
of the consequences of The trump administration's immigration enforcement stuff

(01:05:32):
was that students were not showing up to. School so
The Denver gazette pulled some records and looked at when
students were missing school and when they, weren't and sworn
affidavits submitted with a. Complaint Superintendent Alex morrero and other
school officials blamed changes to the administration's sensitive locations policy

(01:05:56):
for a noticeable dip in. Attendance they said it was
widespread fear of getting swept up in the raids among
immigrants unlawfully staying in The United. States marrero said in
court filings not only were people followed fearful following the,
raids but they also did not have any guarantee that
the next raid would not be at the. School Except

(01:06:20):
The Denver gazette pulled those attendance records and what they
saw was On january twenty, first the day after the
inauguration and THE US ice policy rollback, announcement attendance dropped
significantly across district front, schools regardless of a Campus's hispanic.

Speaker 6 (01:06:37):
Composition what else happened that?

Speaker 5 (01:06:39):
Day it was the day after The Martin Luther King
junior holiday, weekend so people just didn't come back from
their you, know tripent. Time, similarly The Denver gazette continues
to report two days before the widely reported ice rate
at the seat of run apartments in other, locations attendance

(01:06:59):
On february third showed another district wide. Decline but you
know what happened on that, Day that would be The
day Without Immigrants. DAY i actually forgot that was a
thing because my life was not impacted at all that.

Speaker 6 (01:07:14):
DAY i didn't suffer any sort of slow.

Speaker 5 (01:07:17):
Down nothing, happened but a lot of kids didn't show
up for. School the only other day where there's a
major disconnect where a lot of kids didn't go to,
school there was a major Snowstorm february twenty, first and
attendance plunged on that. Day other than, that attendance has
been kind of.

Speaker 6 (01:07:35):
Normal so, YEAH i don't, know, UH i, MEAN i
the word lie is. STRONG i get. IT i get.

Speaker 5 (01:07:49):
It it's a Strong but what is it when you
say something was caused by something when clearly it. Wasn't
and if people are afraid of you, KNOW ice, enforcement
then they would have stopped going to school, altogether don't you.

Speaker 6 (01:08:04):
Think instead of those just those just those. Days in
the days and weeks.

Speaker 5 (01:08:10):
Before the, raid schools with a Higher hispanic enrollment tended
to see lower than usual, attendance particularly On february, third
which coincided with The day Without, immigrants.

Speaker 6 (01:08:22):
And they have lower attendance.

Speaker 5 (01:08:24):
Overall the ten Most Hispanic latino, schools generally, speaking have lower.
ATTENDANCE i, mean it mirrors what happens in other. Schools it's,
not you, know dramatically that far. Off but whereas another
school might be at eighty eight. PERCENT A hispanic high
school maybe eighty. Percent, Right so much ado about. Nothing

(01:08:46):
by the, way they lost the. Lawsuit i'm sure you're
broken up about. That i'm sure when we get back
in the next. HOUR i talked about this a little
bit at the beginning of the, show and since THEN
i have spoken With Do Better denver And i'm going
to show her a little bit about what's going on
with The Denver post is apparently getting ready to publish

(01:09:09):
a story maybe, tomorrow maybe the day. AFTER i don't
know what the publishing schedule, is where they are going
to out three people who had either contributed video along
with thousands of other people by the, way who've contributed
video To Do Better denver or done A corr, request
and now they're being outed AS i don't. Know i'm

(01:09:32):
interested to see what the story. Says i'll give you
the rest of the, details AND i got an official
statement From Do Better.

Speaker 6 (01:09:38):
Denver we'll do that.

Speaker 1 (01:09:39):

i know he's been all Over instagram AND X, Okay.

Speaker 5 (01:10:42):
Instagram AND x is WHERE i see it AND i
always repost. It so he's out there doing. That But
grant's gonna keep it here with us for the next. Hour,
now there's a little bit of drama going on right
now about a social media, account and NORMALLY I i'm
gonna be honest with.

Speaker 6 (01:10:57):
YOU i don't care what happens in social media.

Speaker 5 (01:11:00):
WORLD i DON'T i don't care how many followers you,
have how many followers you lost ON x BECAUSE i don't.
CARE i don't make money from social. Media THEREFORE i
don't care about social media in most. Cases, however on
occasion there is an account that is worth talking, about
and one of those accounts is Do Better. Denver Do

(01:11:22):
Better denver was started a couple of years, ago AND
i became aware of it pretty early. ON i was
an early advocate Of Do Better denver because the account
does a few, things but mostly it posts videos of
the things in The denver metro that are happening That

(01:11:43):
Mayor johnson's administration is trying to gaslight this. About this
is why when he talks about declaring victory on, homelessness
and he hasn't fully declared, victory but he'll tell you
things are so much better than they were, before but
they're really. Not and people who are concerned about you,
know labs in their neighborhoods.

Speaker 6 (01:12:01):
And people who are being accosted.

Speaker 5 (01:12:05):
By urban outdoorsmen when they're walking to work in the,
morning they contribute a lot of these.

Speaker 6 (01:12:11):
Videos no one.

Speaker 5 (01:12:12):
Person could possibly just drive Around nver all day and you,
know videotape these, things and sometimes they're really hard to.
Watch they are people in the throes of addiction and mental.

Speaker 6 (01:12:22):
Illness they are. Suffering they're staggering.

Speaker 5 (01:12:26):
Around like, Zombies they've had people having sex in the
middle of the street On Do Better. Denver they do,
blur by the, way but the point is not to
humiliate these. People the point is not to you, know
cause them personally any. Strife the point is to push
back on the narrative that everything is about, them which

(01:12:46):
is what you hear from The mayor's. Office and this
has become a problem for the mayor's. Office Now Do
Better denver has done a couple of things, lately and
one of them was to do A corer request to
find out if there were emails between The mayor's office

(01:13:08):
and The Denver Police department asking them to unmask the
person Behind Do Better. Denver, now that has not been
proven beyond a shadow of a, doubt but there is
circumstantial evidence that certainly makes it seem like there's some
kind of there. There and, now After Denver police said,

(01:13:30):
no we're not going to do that freedom speech and
all that Crazy First amendment, stuff apparently the mayor's office
seems to have made a call to The Denver post
because there's a reporter at The Denver post who has
been working very diligently doing background on three people that
have submitted items to Do Better denver or filed a corner,

(01:13:53):
Request and now The Denver post is going to do
an expose on these three people whose only crime is
contributing to Do Better.

Speaker 6 (01:14:04):
Denver that's the, problem that's the only.

Speaker 5 (01:14:08):
Crime and the reality is that they are going to
out three people In denver in such a way that
it is probably going to cause them a great deal of.
Strife one of them has already come out and said
they called my. Boss they called my boss at my

(01:14:28):
job to confirm THAT i work there and ask about my.
Salary what is? That, now in the grand scheme of,
things the only reason that The Denver post would have
any interest in outing the people that Do Better denver
is to scare people into not contributing to Do Better.
Denver if you want to silence things like, this threaten

(01:14:50):
to expose the people who are just trying to get
their neighborhood cleaned. Up, because let me tell you what
happens when stuff appears on Do Better, denver a complete
coincidence action gets. Taken so now citizens who have called
three to one one seven thousand, times who have called
nine to one one only to be told there's nothing
they can. Do they're now contributing To Do Better denver

(01:15:13):
to actually get action on the things that are happening
in their neighborhoods and on their, Streets so of course
it has to be shut. Down WHAT i don't understand
is why The Denver post wouldn't investigate some of the
things that are exposed On Do Better denver instead of
trying to expose the person Behind Do Better. Denver, NOW

(01:15:34):
i BECAUSE i was an early, ADOPTER i have been
in contact with The Do Better denver, account never in.
Person i've never met the person behind The Do Better denver,
account to be, Clear BUT i reached out today and,
said you, know do.

Speaker 6 (01:15:48):
You want to do something on?

Speaker 5 (01:15:49):
This and we talked about doing an, interview but they
have a lot of concern that someone would recognize their
voice and things along those, lines and so uh THEY i, said,
hey CAN i submit a statement? Instead AND i said,
absolutely we can one hundred percent make that. Happen SO
i am sharing with you the statement that was sent

(01:16:11):
to me today By Do Better denver to The Denver
post article that is supposed to come out tomorrow the
NEXT i don't know the exact. Timeline we'll see when
it does come. Out the statement, SAYS i Am Do
Better denver and my mission is to champion, transparency, accountability
and positive change In denver by amplifying the voices of

(01:16:33):
concerned citizens and exposing issues that affect our. Community founded
In july of twenty twenty three At Do Better denver
as a platform For denver residents to share their, experiences,
evidence and concerns about critical issues including government, accountability public, safety,
crime and public drug. Use my goal is to raise,
awareness share compelling stories through videos and first hand, accounts

(01:16:56):
and advocate for solutions that Restore denver to the we
all once. Loved Do Better denver was born from a
growing unease among residents about the direction of our city
and the lack of open dialogue on pressing. Challenges supported
by thousands of, Contributors Do Better denver is a collective
driven by a shared commitment to truth and. Transparency every,

(01:17:18):
day citizens submit, videos photos and information to spotlight issues like, crime,
homelessness and government. Failures we share these responsibly to foster constructive,
conversation not to target individuals or incite. HARM i am
alarmed That Shelley, bradbury a reporter with The Denver post
plans to publish a story naming at least three private

(01:17:39):
citizens As Do Better denver contributors based on their submissions
and information. Requests naming them risks jeopardizing their personal, safety,
livelihoods and, privacy a move that contradicts journalistic ethics and
the principles of free. Expression instead of investigating the systemic
ISSUES i, raised such as government transparency or public, safety

(01:18:00):
The Denver post appears to be Doing Mayor johnston's, bidding
prioritizing the silencing of dissenting voices over the pursuit of.
Truth this underman undermines journalism's role in holding the powerful
accountable and threatens the well being of innocent. RESIDENCE i
urge The Denver post In Shelley bradbury to reconsider this
approach and focus on investigating the substantive issues our community is.

(01:18:23):
RAISED i also call On denver residents and supporters to
stand with us in defending free speech and protecting those
who contribute to my.

Speaker 6 (01:18:31):
Mission, Sincerely Do Better denver your, Move Denver post.

Speaker 5 (01:18:38):
Want to share this onen This texter Said, mandy we
should Dox shelley and that IS i absolutely understand that
feeling because that's essentially what they're going to do to
three people whose quote crime is contributing to the Do
Better denver social media. Account, Right but, no, no doxing is,

(01:19:01):
wrong even when it's done to someone you disagree.

Speaker 6 (01:19:04):
With that's kind of the point.

Speaker 5 (01:19:06):
Here AND i gotta tell you, GUYS i in the
environment that we're in right, now it simply is not
worth it to put someone's information out there in the
hopes that something bad, Happens because.

Speaker 6 (01:19:20):
What if something bad does?

Speaker 5 (01:19:22):
Happen so what you've gotten someone that you disagree with
killed because of something they.

Speaker 6 (01:19:26):
Did that's beyond the.

Speaker 5 (01:19:27):
Pale and, FRANKLY i wrote back this texture, said why
what happened to fighting fire with? FIRE i am firmly
in the we're better than that, camp you. KNOW i
don't know if it's A southern, thing but sometimes and
my grandmother would say this to me all the. Time
you'd see kids kind of act in the, fool, right
or doing something THAT i wanted to do BUT i

(01:19:49):
didn't get to do because my nana was, like, no
you're not doing.

Speaker 6 (01:19:51):
That and my nana would always.

Speaker 5 (01:19:54):
Just look at me and, say, well we're better than,
that not we're better than the. People we're better than those, actions,
Right AND i believe. THAT i try so hard to
be consistent with my belief, system AND i understand the.
URGE i get it at one hundred, percent BUT i
don't want anyone. Doxed that does not solve the. Problem

(01:20:17):
the texter, RESPONDED i just think she docks is the
do better. Folks she deserves the same. TREATMENT i understand.
That and you know, what if we all operate from
a revenge, platform, fine But i'm just not Gonna i'm
not going to. Participate i'm not going to suggest. It
and maybe it goes back to the fact that WHEN
i was eight and a half months, PREGNANT i pulled
into my driveway and a guy pulled in behind me

(01:20:40):
with a scary serial killer. VAN i am so pregnant
it's not even. Funny he hops out of his van,
Says oh my, Gosh, Mandy i've been looking all over for.
YOU i, mean it was it's nothing bad. Happened he was,
harmless but we did have THE swat team meet him

(01:21:02):
on the way out of my neighborhood just in. Case,
anyway head of THE swat team might have been a
really good friend of, ours but it's terrifying to feel
that at your. House AND i am one who BELIEVES
i don't think we should protest outside politicians'. HOUSES i
don't think we should protest Outside Supreme court justice. HOUSES
i don't think any of that is. Acceptable we should

(01:21:22):
be allowed to have some kind of. Boundaries and if
The Denver post is willing to violate the boundaries of
these three, People i'm not going to jump on and
do the same thing As i'm sitting here giving them
the business because.

Speaker 6 (01:21:36):
They're about to do.

Speaker 5 (01:21:37):
IT i understand the, URGE i really, do but that
is not WHAT i want to have happened. Here WHAT
i want to have happen is for them to rethink
their decision to out three people whose crime and again
air quotes around that is contributing to a website that
is trying to shine a light on what needs to

(01:21:59):
be In.

Speaker 6 (01:22:01):
Denver so there's more on. That we shall. See we shall.
See we'll look for.

Speaker 5 (01:22:09):
The story in the next couple of. Days This texter,
said my mother always, said remember who you.

Speaker 6 (01:22:13):
ARE i like that one.

Speaker 5 (01:22:15):
Too mandy isn't do Better denver in a, way a
whistleblower kind of Organization that is a really good.

Speaker 6 (01:22:22):
Way to look at, IT a really good way to look.

Speaker 1 (01:22:24):
At, It.

Speaker 5 (01:22:26):
Mandy the problem With We're better is that mindset is
it doesn't work both. WAYS i don't, care And i'll
say this to my, kid AND i say it to.
MYSELF i can't control anybody else's. BEHAVIOR i can't control
a single. THING i can't Control chuck's. BEHAVIOR i can't
control my daughter's. Behavior ALL i can do is control

(01:22:47):
my own behavior and make sure that ANYTHING i touch
the people That i'm, around THAT i am making their
world and their lives better instead of making it. Worse
so whatever they, DO i can't control. THAT i, mean you,
know they're on their own and and you know, what
if they docks these people and they lose their jobs
or something horrible, happens then they can sit with.

Speaker 6 (01:23:09):
That maybe they don't. CARE i don't.

Speaker 5 (01:23:10):
Know, hey wouldn't it be, funny this is totally shifting.
Gears wouldn't it be funny if we found out that
all of the people that are trying to get us
to net zero and all renewables in order to basically
cripple our economy are being manipulated by The chinese communists wouldn't.

Speaker 6 (01:23:30):
It, yeah that's kind of what's. Happening i've got that.

Speaker 5 (01:23:32):
NEXT i refuse to engage on The Sydney sweeney as
a Fascist nazi because she did A genes commercial thing
and has a great. RACK i am now watching a.
Video i'm not listening to it BECAUSE i you, KNOW
i don't want MY iq to. Drop An African american

(01:23:54):
woman who said Watching Sydney sweeney's commercial it broke her
down in tears and she needs good white people to
stand up and do something about. THIS i don't understand.
It it's it's almost almost the dumbest Thing i've ever.

Speaker 4 (01:24:11):
Heard does she have like a history of being A trump? Supporter,
okay her mom.

Speaker 5 (01:24:18):
Had she had a birthday party for her mom where
they had hats Made. Grant they were red hats that
they said make old great. Again get, it maga make.
Old and that was all it took for The internet
to decide That Sidney sweeney was an out.

Speaker 6 (01:24:33):
Set that's that's.

Speaker 5 (01:24:35):
It IF i Were Sidney, SWEENEY i would be, LIKE
i don't, know we're not talking about. This we're going
to talk about something more. Important this is an actual
story that. Matters great commercials, though, yeah thank, you, yeah.
Lovely they're nothing compared to The Brookshields Calvin klan commercials
from back in the, day were she literally put on
a pair.

Speaker 6 (01:24:53):
Of pants fantastic in the.

Speaker 5 (01:24:55):
Commercial, okay, okay let me just go over this really really.
QUICKLY a couple of things are happening right Now. China
china is developing more than four hundred and fifty coal
mining sites Across, china four hundred and fifty nearly forty

(01:25:18):
percent are under construction or in test.

Speaker 6 (01:25:20):
Operation and right, now coal miners from around the.

Speaker 5 (01:25:24):
World we don't have to worry about here in The
United states because we've shut down all of our coal.
Miners we've put people out of business over and over
and over. Again But australia And indonesia are freaking out
because If china digs coal at the rate that they
look like they're about to dig, coal it.

Speaker 6 (01:25:38):
Is going to tank the price of.

Speaker 5 (01:25:41):
Coal, now WHEN i saw, THIS i immediately thought about
the fact That, CHINA i think is well known and
if you don't know, this well prepared to be, dazzled
Because china has been funding the green movement for a
very long. TIME i went to groc today BECAUSE i

(01:26:06):
already knew. This i've read this a million. Times AND
i went To groc AND i, Said, grog, uh just
trying to fund our green energy organizations with. Sources and
this is What groc had to. Say AND i clicked
through the sources just to see where he grabbed. Him
and this is indeed what those sources. Said, yes there
are multiple, reports congressional, inquiries and analyzes indicating That, china

(01:26:28):
through entities closely tied to The Chinese Communist, party provides
funding to A us based green energy and climate advocacy.
Organizations these finds are often channel via The Energy Foundation CHINA,
efc A us registered five oh ONE c three nonprofit
that spun off from the ORIGINAL Us Energy foundation in twenty.

(01:26:49):
Nineteen while technically headquartered In San, FRANCISCO efc operates primarily
out Of, beijing with deep connections to THE ccp officials
and oversight By China's National Development Reform. Commission critics argue
this funding Advances china's strategic interest by promoting policies that
UNDERMINE us fossil fuel production while boosting reliance On chinese

(01:27:11):
dominated renewable supply chains.

Speaker 8 (01:27:14):
Such as solar.

Speaker 6 (01:27:15):
Panels and.

Speaker 5 (01:27:15):
BATTERIES efc has reportedly granted over five hundred million to
four thousand projects, globally INCLUDING us initiatives focused on energy,
conservation efficiency and. Decarbonization although EESC's primary focus is On,
china it provides grants to SOME us organizations working in these.

(01:27:37):
Areas now you know, WHY i know That china does
not care about the environment and carbon and fossil fuels
in any of that, Stuff Because china's construction of new
coal fired power plants reached a ten year high in
twenty twenty. Four they have built ninety four point five

(01:28:00):
five gigawatts of new coal power capacity and resumed three
point three gigawatts of suspended projects in twenty twenty, four
highest level of construction in ten.

Speaker 6 (01:28:10):
Years the accelerated build, out fueled by.

Speaker 5 (01:28:15):
Investment from the coal mining, sector raises critical concerns About
china's ability to transition away from the fossil Fuel, really
do you think it?

Speaker 6 (01:28:24):
Does do you think the fact that they've got four.

Speaker 5 (01:28:27):
Hundred and fifty coal mines in the works right now
and they built more coal fired power plants in the
last year than they have in the prior Ten do
you think maybe those things together would indicate That china
not only has no intention of lowering as carbon, emissions
they are ramping them. Up and yet at the same,

(01:28:47):
time they're very cleverly funding organizations that are telling every
one of The United states that if we don't do
something about carbon, emissions we're all gonna. Die you got
Little gretethumburg running around the. World, wow dah YOU i
Dare Grete thunberg go say that In?

Speaker 6 (01:29:03):
China that would be something to. Watch that'd be.

Speaker 5 (01:29:07):
COOL i, MEAN i wonder how old she'd be when
she got out of. Prison this is such a great.
STRATEGY i, mean this is the best Strategy i've heard
in so. Long convince us that the most, abundant most
efficient source of energy that we, have fossil, fuels is,

(01:29:30):
bad so we will then further cripple our own industrial.
Capacity when you look at What germany has. Done germany
went all in on renewable energy about twenty years, ago
and they have THAT i can't remember the name of.
It it's Like gundervind or. Something it's Some german name
for wind. Power and they went all. In and now

(01:29:52):
these brief years, later two things have happened In germany
that are incredibly. Significant energy prices are in absolutely. Nuts
in the, winter it can be one thousand dollars to
heat a five hundred square foot. Apartment one thousand dollars
for that imagine in a house the size that we

(01:30:13):
have here in The United. States And germany has absolutely
gutted its industrial sector because no industry can operate without
cheap and abundant. Power And germany just took it off the.
Table and by the, way are they still net? Zero,
no they're buying natural gas From, russia of all. Places

(01:30:36):
this is a genius stroke by the COMMUNIST i mean,
genius get us to destroy our own ability to create
energy at the exact moment THAT ai is. ASCENDANT ai
is incredibly energy. INTENSIVE i read an. ARTICLE i don't
THINK i put it on the. Blog MAYBE i, Did

(01:30:56):
MAYBE i. Didn't that the largest power grid in the,
country it's A midwestern power. Grid it Covers, Illinois, Ohio
it's Got West virginia and, there it's got all these
states that are part of THE pgm power. Grid it's
so big and they have so much energy production that
usually they have a surplus of energy that they can
then sell to other. Grids this year, alone they've had

(01:31:19):
ten different days where they had to issue a warning
to their customers that they were using at peak.

Speaker 6 (01:31:24):
Capacity you know WHY.

Speaker 5 (01:31:26):
Ai so now this power grid is telling artificial intelligence,
companies if you're going to build AN ai, farm WHICH
i guess is just thousands and thousands of servers doing
all THIS ai, work you're going to have to provide
your own power. Source so this got me to looking
at different things around the. COUNTRY i looked and found

(01:31:46):
one small nuclear reactor In, california which is. Fascinating it's
actually a hydrogen. Plant it separates hydrogen from water and
then it uses the hydrogen to burn for. Energy, right really,
amazing and it uses a small nuclear reactor to power
all this.

Speaker 6 (01:32:03):
Stuff it's. FASCINATING i reached out to the company to
do an interview and they just. Declined.

Speaker 5 (01:32:07):
Today they were, like we appreciate your, interest but, No
and that was, literally, wait let me just all read
you the.

Speaker 6 (01:32:13):
Email the name of the company is called News.

Speaker 8 (01:32:17):
Scale where is?

Speaker 6 (01:32:18):
It where is? It where is?

Speaker 3 (01:32:19):
It?

Speaker 6 (01:32:20):
Oh dang. IT i might have deleted it out of.

Speaker 5 (01:32:23):
Aggravation but we're in a situation in The United states
we're allowing our energy policy to be made by people
that do not have our best interest at, heart not at,
all not even a little.

Speaker 6 (01:32:36):
Bit so let me. See, oh here we.

Speaker 5 (01:32:41):
Go the name of the company Is New scale and it, says, Hello,
mandy thank you for your interest in new scale. Power
we appreciate your, request but politely declined the. Opportunity why
why don't they want to talk about this.

Speaker 6 (01:32:54):
Stuff we have to.

Speaker 5 (01:32:57):
Figure out how to expose the people are being funded
By chinese. Communists we have to figure out a way
to expose the fact That china is not serious at
all about carbon emissions.

Speaker 3 (01:33:10):
At.

Speaker 5 (01:33:10):
All they're not even pretending to be serious about carbon.
Emissions what they're doing is sort of forcing us to
decap our own ability to create.

Speaker 6 (01:33:21):
Power you, know.

Speaker 5 (01:33:24):
When you live In, florida on your, home it is
a very smart move to have a generator because you
have so many. Instances most of the power lines In
florida are above. Ground and you think to, yourself that's.
Stupid you guys get hit by. Hurricanes but the reality
is is that in many parts Of, florida when you
dig like you're gonna dig to bury, something there's so
much water in the ground that you have to deal

(01:33:46):
with a completely separate set of issues about buried power.
Lines it can be, done but it's really expensive and
really a. Pain so many of the power lines are
above above, ground and you get hit with tropical storms
and all kinds of events and you lose power so.
REGULARITY i, mean not every, Day i'm not talking about,
that but it's always nice to have a whole home
generator on your.

Speaker 6 (01:34:07):
Home for those. Occasions i'm here to tell.

Speaker 5 (01:34:10):
You that if we keep going down this renewable energy
path that we are, headed you better have a generator
on your home because there's going to be rolling. Brownouts
there's going to be blackouts because our energy demand is
only getting. Bigger we're not reducing the need for. Energy

(01:34:32):
everything in our lives runs on. Electricity how that electricity
is generated is the only point of. Contention nobody's, saying
you know, what we should not be using our lights
at home at. Night we, should but they will tell
you to run your air conditioner at eighty five when
it's one hundred and two degrees. Outside by the, Way,
no that's my. Answer, No i'm not doing. It And

(01:34:55):
china has got to be just laughing their heads off
at us about how easily we are. Manipulated just put
out of video with some polar bears.

Speaker 6 (01:35:05):
And tell people they're.

Speaker 5 (01:35:06):
Dying they'll demands windmills or something that's inefficient and.

Speaker 6 (01:35:11):
Unreliable it's REALLY i, mean it's a great. Racket you.

Speaker 5 (01:35:16):
Know one of the things THAT i don't understand about
our strategy when it comes To russia is why we
don't just go and Pull american oil, producers pull them
all in a room, together all the big, players and, say, look,
GUYS i know that if we ask you to just
drill your heads off and create as much oil as

(01:35:36):
you could possibly get out of the, ground that it's
going to tank oil prices because it'll be a glut
on the. Market but we need you to do it
anyway as a matter of national, security because if you
can tank oil, prices you know what happens To russia's
ability to Fight it completely.

Speaker 6 (01:35:49):
Disappears if you tank oil.

Speaker 5 (01:35:52):
Prices do you know what happens to A ron's ability
to send missiles To, israel To iraq to anywhere.

Speaker 6 (01:35:57):
Else it's completely.

Speaker 5 (01:35:59):
Gone they have no other means in their economy of
any significance other than oil. Production and if The United
states simply. Decided you know, what, guys we've got to
take one for the. Team whatever we need to. Do
we're gonna subsidize oil. Companies we're gonna bottom out the.
Market we're gonna subsidize the companies to keep them going

(01:36:19):
until the market can come back. Up but we are
going to starve all the bad actors that produce oil
and bring them to their knees, economically because that will
bring them to their knees.

Speaker 6 (01:36:30):
Militarily i've got to feel the same way About.

Speaker 5 (01:36:33):
China we're letting them make our policy when it comes
to energy when we should be doing the exact. Opposite
you want to make sure That china can't dominate, industry
that we need to figure out ways to produce power
at a high level that is consistent and. Inexpensive oh,
wait we have natural. Gas what about small nuclear. Reactors

(01:36:56):
we need to be getting on this stuff now instead
of just running a talking about how windmills and solar.
Panels by the, way solar panels which cannot be built
unless we get rare earth minerals From, china and they're
not all that, rare by the, way rare earth, minerals
they're only rare because they're really hard to get out
of the. Ground and in The United, states where we

(01:37:17):
have an absolute crap ton of these, minerals the environmentalists
will not let us mine. Them So, china where, ENVIRONMENTALISTS
i guess they don't get a lot of. Play they're
probably all dead or in. Prison they can't stop anything
In china because it's The chinese communists and they do
whatever they. WANT i, mean it's really a strategy that's.

(01:37:38):
Masterful unfortunately it's someone else's strategy against. Us But i'm
sure it'll be, fine totally positive that it will be.
Fine nothing to, see look, away just keep on. Moving
