Speaker 3 (00:50):
Now our podcast is royalty music free. We don't have

technology behind that for the stream. But it does make
it much easier and it's so infectious.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
Today on the blog Rockies Eat the Show at twelve thirteen,
watch my dumb video with Chuck about our Japan and
Korea trip whole perspective. An email got me to thinking
of the drama in the Colorado GOP goes to court.
Honey Boo boo can't find housing scrolling scrolling. Wait a minute,
why is it time to buy a generator? About Venezuelan
(01:52):
gangs in Aurora? Scrolling, scrolling, The first gentleman can't scan
the social media heat a Rarea campus protesters whining about
repercussions about those sexually charged social studies standards in Colorado.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
And I've been revisiting Eddie Izzard lately.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Those are the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
Are you familiar with the comedy of Eddie Izzard?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Do you know who he is?
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I'm okay, He's a British dude.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Who often appears on stage wearing makeup and heels. But
he's he's like, he's like, he's kind of he's not
a trans person. I think he's just more of a transvestite, right,
just like's wearing all the accouterments of women's clothing. But
I saw a T shirt the other day that said
cake or Death, and I should have put cake or
Death on here, but I used to James Bond instead,
(02:40):
and it reminded me of this is a memory. So
I go over to my friend Michelle's house, this is
like twenty years ago, and she goes, you have got
to watch this comedy special with me. You're going to
die laughing. So already the bar set very high, grant
dying laughing, and it was Eddie Izzard, and I literally
almost almost had a heart attack. I was laughing so hard.
(03:02):
And it was Dressed to Kill, I believe is the
name of that stand up video. But now I've been
going through all Eddie Izzard all the time because that's.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
What YouTube is feeding me. And omg, he's hilarious.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
I can't wait to watch the James Bond. Oh yes,
what's the other one? Cake or Death from the Dress
to Kill performance? So I believe it's called dress to
kill something like that, but look up cake or Death.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
And I actually just bought Michelle a T shirt that
says cake or Death.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Anyway, So moving on, I've got a lot of stuff
on the blog today. A very interesting email came in
and I actually shared the email and my response, and
it has to do with my coverage right now of
the electoral process. And it's from a guy named Kevin,
and Kevin wrote, Hi, Mandy, so much I want to say,
but I can't bring up every single issue. Just well, hey,
(03:51):
how you doing? Just why can't you, even as a
Trump backer, give facts about both parties? Since I live
in Colorado, I feel obligated to keep up with Colorado events,
news and commentary to keep myself saying I just chuckle
and laugh at your takes.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
I disagree with.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yes, I realize you're fighting for your party, but leaving
out relevant facts from both sides, good and bad sucks.
But oh well, I have to listen. Anyways, I do
appreciate the research you do and blog. Have a good day,
slash evening that from Kevin. I really thought about my response,
and here's my response to Kevin. First off, thanks for listening,
even though we don't agree. I've been very critical of
(04:28):
Trump in the past. That being said, it is apparent
to me that not only is Donald Trump running against Kamala,
he's running against the media. And being at the Democratic
National Convention and watching democrat after Democrat say one blatant,
easily demonstrably false thing after another, only to have the
media lap it up like it was God's word has
me very frustrated.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
I hate that Trump is the GOP candidate. Hate it.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
But what I hate more is that when I see
the country being sold a bill of goods about Kamala
Harris that is fabricated out of whole cloth, and being
expected to take it, we're not seeing a fair and
balance process. And yes, this is politics, but everyone in
the country knows every bad and stupid thing about Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
He's not a man of good morals.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
But I can tell you how he will govern because
we've already lived through it. January sixth was a horrible
stain on him and his followers, but ultimately our system
worked and he didn't establish himself as a dictator. I
believe in our systems enough to put him back into
office because I know how he will govern and his
policies work for our country. Kamala Harris is now allegedly
(05:33):
against everything she campaigned on in twenty nineteen, from banning
fracking to Medicare for all that kills private insurance, to
defunding the police to getting rid of ice. She held
all these positions and now she says she wants to
build a.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Wall she called racist.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
She is a chameleon saying whatever she wants to get elected,
and the media is largely silent, so someone has to
say it, and right now it's me.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Thank you for weighing in.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And if we can get through this election, or if
the media starts treating Kamala Harris as the candidate instead
of the chosen one, we can get back to normal programming.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And it goes beyond that.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
And the fact that she is sitting down with Tim
Walls instead of doing an interview by herself has me
up in arms. It is so deeply offensive to all
of the women who came before her, who have said
for years we need a president who is female. Do
you really think if Nikki Haley were the candidate, she
would have to sit down with her VP or do
(06:29):
you think she could sit down for an interview by herself.
So now we have a woman who very well may
be the next president. It could happen. I absolutely believe
it could happen, because there is going to be a
concerted effort to hide this woman, her positions, her former positions.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
They're even allowing her to campaign as a new way forward.
She's the plankinty plank incumbent.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
So until or unless we can get the same kind
of meat treatment for Kamala Harris that we're getting for
Donald Trump, unfortunately, I am put in a position I
do not enjoy, which is having to support a guy
that I still can't believe I am voting for again.
John Caldera has a great column and I linked to
it on the blog today about that very thing, about
(07:18):
why someone who said January sixth was it I cannot
ever vote for him.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Again, which is exactly what I said. But here we are.
What it comes down to is two very simple concepts
for me. Very simple.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Number one, it really ticks me off that someone has
been chosen by some group of people we don't know who,
we don't know when the meeting was that everybody determined
that Kamala Harris was going to be the nominee, so
I don't know who those people are to hold accountable.
And secondarily, if there is the first woman president and
she's too incompetent to sit down for a pre recorded
(07:54):
interview by herself, do you think she's going to be
a good president?
Speaker 4 (07:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (08:00):
And do you know how long it will be before
another woman gets a chance if she's a bad president? Decades?
Because you can be a man and fail and it
won't prevent another man from being elected. But if you're
a woman and you fail, you have tainted your gender
for the foreseeable future. And I would love, love, love
to not think that, but I do, because time and
(08:23):
time again, women get one shot and they hire the
worst woman to do it. In radio, it is like
standard procedure to go out and instead of finding someone
to give a Nashally syndicated show who is a woman,
they give it to Megan McCain because her daddy was
John McCain. When Rush Limbaugh finally decides to have a
woman sit in for him, he chooses Mary Madeleine, who
(08:46):
had never done a radio show before in her life,
and she was an abject failure. And guess how many
other women got to fill in for Rush zero zero.
These things happen, so as a woman who wants to
know that my daughter does not have to face glass
ceilings ever, again, this is a disaster. So that is
why I am not giving the same amount of information
(09:08):
about both parties. Because if you want to know everything
that's wrong with the Republican Party, you can watch Kyle Clark,
who spent this past week trying to tell Danielle Durinsky
that she was crazy for believing what her constituents were
telling her about Venezuelan gangs.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I mean, you can listen to a million.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Other sources to hear every horrible, awful, unsubstantiated rumor about
Donald Trump and his campaign and his vice president.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
You can hear that anywhere, and I do mean anywhere.
So I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I guess I'm not sorry. I guess I'm sorry that
I feel like I'm put in this position, but here
we are. I don't think this country can afford another
four years of a Democrat like Kamala Harris because frankly,
no one knows how she's gonna govern.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
No one has any clue what she's.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Gonna do after she gets elected, because she was either
lying back then or she's lying now, which is it?
But we don't have any idea and because no one's
ever asked her to explain her shift in position. And
this interview Tonight with Dana Bash on CNN. If Dana
Bash says why were you against fracking and now you're
(10:16):
for it?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
What changed? And she gives some word salad of fracking is.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
An important part of our economy, that means nothing's changed.
She's just been coached on what to say. And Dana
Bash better ask follow up questions anyway, So there you go.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I have that on the blog.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Today we have uh oh, by the way, Grant, did
you watch our dumb video that Chuck and I did
on our South Korean Japan trip.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
I haven't got to Orisley like to call it the annual.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
Marriage killer filming this video because Chuck and I are
completely opposite style wise, and we have to work together
on this video. But we finally, after nine of these videos,
we finally have gotten better at it. So there wasn't
a knockdown, drag out fight after this one. So if
you want to see, you know, but it's really good.
It's really good. This person said, why would someone listen
(11:05):
to your show if they don't agree with you or
like it. Oh, because Democrat ideas aren't worth a poop
and they can't get radio shows. No, there's a lot
of people who just want to know what's happening on
the other side, you know, they just want It's one
of the reasons I listened to NPR. I listened to
NPR to hear what perspective people that are on the
left in this state are hearing, because I want to
(11:28):
know what their information flow is giving them and what
it's not giving them. And to Kevin's point, And by
the way, I thought Kevin's email was spot on. I
appreciated it. It gave me pause, It made me think
about stuff. So I'm glad he sent it. I'm very
glad he sent it. So Mandy, I love Eddie Izzard. However,
(11:51):
I now think that he is fully transitioning. I just
hope that it doesn't make them any less funny. I
don't know, hang on, I have to look this up now.
Is at a Lizard transitioning. He's been kind of dodgy
about that in the past. He's come out as a transvestite.
(12:13):
She is, no, he's he identifies as a transwoman.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
And wants to be based in girl mode.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
But I don't think he's necessarily going to have any
medical interventions.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't know. I still love him. I think he's hilarious,
absolutely hilarious. Nothing there changes, Mandy.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
How are you supposed to represent Kamalo when she won't
represent herself. I know, I know, this person said, I
listened to you because I want to hear what you say.
I regularly want to blow my brains out when I'm listening,
but it's important, Well, don't do that, because I need
all the listeners I could get, even the ones that
disagree with me. Regarding people listening to don't agree. Some
(12:57):
people just find the topic interesting. But the Howard Stern
movie in the nineties indicated that people dislike Howard Stern
were listening longer than those who liked him, and that's
probably true. We've talked about my hate listeners who just
listen for three hours so.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
They can let the hate food through the zanes.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Now I have a bunch of stuff on the blog
today about the back and forth Kyle Clark, who hates
all conservative women. That's the only conclusion I can I
can come to because he ignores so much idiocy from
the Democratic Party and only focuses on what Republican women
say like a laser.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
And to be clear, I now feel no need.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
To pull any punches, not that I pulled them before,
because I asked Kyle Clark to come on the show
and he said no, and I'm like, okay, we could
have hashed it all out. I could have expressed my
displeasure at the way he does things like he's been doing.
Danielle Jerinsky has been very outspoken that Venezuelan gangs have
taken over sir apartment complexes.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Now Mayor Mike Kaufman for.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Reasons which I could guess at, has come out and said, oh,
you know, those those apartment complexes are being condemned not
because of Venezuelan gangs but because the owners are slum lords. Okay,
but both of those things can be true at the
same time. Right, you can condemn it because it's being
(14:23):
run by a slum lord who doesn't take care of it,
but it can also have been taken over.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
By Venezuelan gangs. And lo and behold new video.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
And I have this video on the blog today of
a group of gentlemen grant check out the video of
the of the gang.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Oh well, I'm gonna I don't want to jump to conclusions.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I mean, maybe they were just coming back from the range,
strapped up, carrying their handguns in their hands, like they're
ready to shoot up an apartment. Uh, maybe they were
just maybe they're hunters.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Maybe that's it.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
Maybe they were elk hunting or just sighting up for
you know, huntings season. I mean, they look legit like
they I mean, they're just they seem normal. Any thinking
person would look at this and say, well, that certainly
does appear to be a Venezuelan gang. So Danielle Djorinsky
posts that I can't wait to see, uh if Kyle
Clark apologizes, but my prediction is this much like he
(15:19):
did when Heidigenal had the nerve to say that people
that she had met talked about furries at schools, and
he came out and said, that's the dumbest thing I've
ever heard.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
What kind of morale you basically you ignoramus.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
But then when I guess parents called him and said, no,
this is actually happening in schools, he just shifted to
why are you attacking these kids for being different?
Speaker 2 (15:42):
There was no apology.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
There was no wow, we missed that story, or wow,
we probably should have investigated before casting aspersions. None of
that happened. It was just shifting the narrative. So I'm
guessing that we're going to get to Obviously, these people
who are here for a better life are just engaging
in shooting sports somewhere. But I'm sure it's a coincidence
(16:04):
that they happen to be doing this in the same
apartment complexes that Daniel Jorinsky keeps saying have been.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Taken over by n Aezhelan Games.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Totally a coincidence, Grant, no connection whatsoever.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
Those guns in that video are terrified, yeah, yeah, by
and you see they're not hiding them. That's fi the
most concerning.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
There's no like effort to conceal there's no effort to
conceal their faces.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
They don't care because they're part of it. Venezuela gang.
Oh you know what, let's do that right this second. Grant.
All right, my friends, do we have a trivia question? Grant?
Can you come up with one really fast?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
No?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Why don't we just do this? What don't we just?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Do you want text or a caller? What do you
prefer pick your poison grant, get a caller. We number
seven seven, Lucky number seven is gonna get registered to
win a pair of Broncos season tickets. We pick that
next week, right, I mean we have September. Okay, September six,
we're gonna pick this. You can get registered right now,
be caller number seven three oh three, seven one three.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Eighty five, eighty five. Get that done.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
So I've got more information about this, by the way,
because unlike nine News citizen journalists pulled the nine one
one logs for I think this apartment complex, and I
know you're all gonna get ready to put your shocked
face on, but I know that you are going to
be shocked to hear that there is an incredibly high
(17:30):
number of nine to one one calls to this apartment
complex full of guns and possible Venezuelan gangsters. But don't
let that be, you know, impediment to whatever the narrative
you want to throw out there, folks. Don't let the
truth or your eyeballs get in the way.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Now.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I said earlier that I could only speculate why Mayor
Mike Coffin would maybe say kind of walk this back.
There's two things that could be in play here. Number one,
maybe there's a full scale investigation going on and they
don't want these gangsters to know that there's a scale
investigation going on until they're ready to swoop in.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
And make a rest. That is a possibility.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
Or it could simply be that Aurora has had this
reputation since the beginning of time, maybe of being a
high crime area, and Mayor Mi Kaufman has worked really, really,
really hard along with the city Council to stop the
kind of criminal situations that we've seen in Aurora, and
they don't want to admit that in this respect they
are failing. Could be something else, but those are my
(18:28):
best guesses. Okay, we're going to turn the station over
to the Colorado Rockies. We'll be back for a full
show and a Friday show tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Thanks Graham, you're welcome. Mandy. All right, well, we'll be
back tomorrow. Keep it right here on KOA.
