right hand man, wearing a lovely shade of seaphone green.
Today it's Anthony Rodriguez. Everybody, you can call me rod.
Did you not know that color was called seafoam green?

Speaker 5 (00:49):

Days until the actual beginning of fall on the calendar.
But I'm ready.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Put me in coach.

Speaker 4 (01:06):

Speaker 2 (01:11):
I get it. Everybody's like, but what about the long days?
Don't you love it?

Speaker 4 (01:17):
I love it all, but as I get older. The heat,
just those those weeks of like over ninety five, I
just cannot do it anymore. Just makes me miserable. Anyway,
I'm yeah, yeah, we are ready now. Winter no winter falls,
a long, nice, gentle fall with maybe not even a
snowfall until right around Halloween, just.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
That, you know, but a little drowne no no, no, no, no,
well after Halloween, thank you, after Halloween, I'll ask. That
would be a nightmare.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
So that's what we're looking for right now. Let's do
the blog because I got a lot of stuff on
the blog today. I got a couple of guifts coming
up today. But we have to talk about Trump moving
space Force. As you just heard on the news. This
is a really big deal but not surprising at all.
And let's jump into that after I jump into this.

Rip White House correspondent Mark.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
Doler, you need to be bored.

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Whoo. Those are the headlines on the blog, Oh Winter,
Thank you, Nancy. Those are the headlines on the blog.
And I got to tell you, guys, I left a
lot of news on the table today, left a lot
of stories, and I didn't get to you. They may
make an appearance tomorrow. We shall have to see Mandy.
It's going to be eighty four in Denver today. A
sweater gross, I too, am wearing long sleeves. I have

(04:16):
in a long sleeved T shirt.

Speaker 6 (04:17):
It's nice and chili in our studios. Yeah, so I
don't want to be cold. Yeah, maybe I'll take it
off when I leave today.

Speaker 4 (04:24):
Texter on the Common Spirit Health text line. By the way,
you can always text us by texting two five six
six nine. Oh, here's one. The announcer at Colorado National
Speedway in DAKOONA sounds a lot like someone I've heard
on KOA. Can you verify if this is correct? Well,
that depends on who you think you've heard.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
Jk our very own.

Speaker 4 (04:43):
Anthony Rodriguez is the track announcer at the Colorado International
or Colorado National Speed.

Speaker 6 (04:49):
Yes, what a great time to be a reminder to
me to say hello to Richard, who walked up to
me after the races said he loves listening to the
show works up at the casino in Blackhawk.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Hello Richard, Hello Richard.

Speaker 6 (05:03):
Yes, rich want to say specifically hello to you as well. Nandy,
Hi Richard, very nice individual?

Speaker 7 (05:08):
Can he you?

Speaker 3 (05:08):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (05:09):
There you go? H? Mandy?

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Is rush Limba always said elections have consequences. The way
Colorado has treated President Trump has been horrible. Griswold tried
to take his name off the ballot. Now we pay
the price, but I'm confident our security will not suffer.
And what this texture is talking about is the announcement
we just had in the news that President Trump has
decided that Space Force.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Will be moved to Alabama.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Now, this has been a political football, obviously between the
Biden administration and the Trump administration and Democrats and Republicans,
because Republicans this is where it gets good. Republicans wanted
Space Force in Alabama, and considering that we already have
NASA facilities in Huntsville, like we already have space stuff

(05:52):
happening in Alabama. You could make a really compelling argument
that this needed to be in Alabama. And when Biden
was in office, he was made the argument that, hey,
all the pieces are in place here to have a
space force. We already got the hunspal location for now,
so we got all the space stuff. Happened in Huntsville
and Joe Biden went, no, I'm not going to do it.

(06:15):
You know why, because Alabama is a deeply red state. Now,
when that happened, I don't recall a lot of people
on the left talking about how Alabama clearly had the
edge when it comes to facilities and the infrastructure that
already exists in Alabama, that they could just seamlessly bring

(06:38):
in space force right into that.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
They chose to go with.

Speaker 4 (06:41):
See, oh, it would just be so expensive to move it,
so expensive, so so expensive, except not really, I mean,
military bases upside downsize all the time. So what's going
to be really funny now is now that we have
Donald Trump in office and the State of Colorado, Denver

(07:04):
public schools, the City of Denver have all chosen to
adopt the posture. And I'm going to say it is
fully a posture. They have decided to drop back, just
like they learned in kickboxing, and they are going to
fight fight, fight the Trump administration. The problem is is
that they're wholly reliant on the federal government to balance

(07:25):
our budget here in Colorado, you know, the federal government.
Too much money flows through the state from the federal government.
And now we're in this difficult position where we've got
the you know, the Democratic leadership of this state that's
running around with their little resist stickers across their chess

(07:46):
and they're fighting the Trump administration. At the same time,
he's deciding whether or not to move Space Force Command,
which is currently in the Springs, from the Springs to
the totally Republican controlled state of Alabama, where the argument
can be made the infrastructure exists much better in Alabama
than it does in Colorado. Now Colorado, by the way,

(08:07):
you guys, I don't want to see Space Force move
from Colorado.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
It's bad for Colorado.

Speaker 4 (08:12):
It's bad for the people that rely on the people
who work at Space Force for their businesses in the
Springs and all of that stuff. So I want to
be clear, I don't want to move it. But the
reality is this is a political football until it gets
completely established and they start, I don't know, firing rockets

(08:32):
into space.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
This is going to remain a political football. So Trump
looks like he just settled it because we're early enough
in the Trump administration that they can uproot everybody. So
then the argument is we should move it back. Why
superior facilities that are already geared for this. Nope, can't
make that argument. So this is not surprising. I mean,

(08:55):
this is what political retaliation looks like. It's what political
paybacks look like. Because Alabama they voted for Donald Trump. Colorado, Nope,
not so much, not so much. Mandy, we are fighting
people like you. Now, wait a minute, is that you're
fighting people like me? Or you're fighting people like me?

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Like?

Speaker 4 (09:19):
Are you calling me a fighting person? Or are you
saying you're fighting me personally?

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Like?

Speaker 4 (09:26):
What I need clarification? I feel like there should be
a comma in that that might be helpful, so I
have a better understanding of whether I should be insulted
or complimented. Generally, either way, Mandy, we are fighting people
like you could go either way. You could be like
complimenting my fighting spirit, or you could be like people

(09:47):
like you or the problem, but I don't know which
it is, so Texterter, I need to just clarify. Just
text back with insult or compliment, and then I'll know
which way to go with it. Mandy, Huntsville is already
known as the Rocket City. Huh surprising? Surprising, Mandy. This

(10:07):
is Camera and Eye, along with about fifty other people
I know, recently moved to Huntsfield from Cheyenne to work
for a military contractor. We're super excited here for SpaceX.
The comments on the Denver TV Facebook pages of liberal
hate is hilarious. Hey, Mandy, Colorado is playing a serious
game of FAFO with Trump. Correct Mandy, It's okay, Randy.

(10:31):
These buffoons will raise taxes to make up any short
loss by the loss of jobs.

Speaker 3 (10:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (10:38):
Yeah, Still no word on if I'm a fighting person
or if I'm a person being fought with. In case
you're hanging on the edge of your seat waiting for
that update, this texture says I'm a vast majority of
Space Force is already in Alabama. My nephew has been
in Space Force SIN since inception. He's been in Alabama
since twenty twenty one. He retired after twenty years and June.

(11:00):
This is space force command. To be clear, this is
what we're talking about.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
So you know, uh, Mandy, would you.

Speaker 4 (11:09):
Say the potential space force moves analogous to Denver stealing
the MLB All Star Game from Atlanta a few years ago,
but in reverse.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yes, kind of, yes, little bit.

Speaker 4 (11:20):
Yeah, it's called tit for tat, it's called pettiness smallness,
and both sides do it with equal vigor. So yeah,
I'm just calling him out on it, Mandy. Just do
the normal woman thing. If there's a positive way to
take it in a negative way, choose the negative. No no,
no oh text or no contrary. My husband when we

(11:42):
got before we got married, actually said something to me
one day that was one of those things where it
was like wait a.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
Minute, what and he stopped me.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
He said, wait, wait, wait, something you need to know
about me. If there is something I say that can
be taken two ways, always assume that it is in
a positive way, because I'm never going to say things
in the mean way that are designed to hurt you,
So always take it in a positive way. I have
just expanded that to always assuming positive intent. Now if
I need clarity, I will ask for clarity. But when

(12:12):
you always assume positive intent and you ask for clarity
instead of reacting, your life is so much better.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
It really is, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
My wife was on the proposal team the House Space
Command in the Springs. We won it twice. Trump overwrote
it both times. Oh yeah, this has been going on
for forever. Seriously, there will be a serious brain drain.
No one wants to move to Alabama. Y'all have obviously
never been to Huntsville. And I'm not being sarcastic. Huntsville, Alabama.

(12:40):
Don't sleep on Huntsville. It is a cool town.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
Is it Denver? No, It's Alabama.

Speaker 4 (12:46):
Okay, so it's hot in the summer, it's muggy, but
Huntsville is a very cool town. It has a lot
of hip spaces, mostly because of the space industry that's there.
There's not a brain drain, guys, really, isn't, Mandy. Alabama
and rocket science usually don't go together, except the Huntsville
Space Center has been there for forever, forever, Mandy, this

(13:10):
is crazy. Griswold and companies fault. They're bad for Colorado.
Oh no, no, no, I cannot lay this at the
feet of Jenna Griswold. She is just one toe on
the foot of this thing. It's been a death by
a thousand cuts. It's been immigrants welcome in the first
Trump administration, hanging all outside city Hall. It's been going

(13:32):
on since back then. It's just gotten way worse when
Colorado Democrats decided that protecting illegal immigrants was more important
than protecting Colorado's and, in all honesty, if you want
to see how ridiculous reactionary politics can be, you really
need to look no further than the way that the

(13:52):
Colorado Democrats respond to everything that the Trump administration does.
I'm surprised we didn't have flag burnings when he came
out with a new rules against flag burning. I'm genuinely
surprised he has them actively working. And I have a
story on the blog about this. We're gonna get to it. No,
I'll get to it right now. I've got plenty of time.
I have a story on the blog today. Jimmy Sangenberger

(14:13):
wrote a column about it yesterday and the Denver Gazette.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
There are.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
There is an internet connection that lawyers use to upload
filings into the system. It's a court filing system, and
on Friday, attorneys who were trying to upload information into
the state's filing system got to pop up warning.

Speaker 2 (14:39):
That popped up.

Speaker 4 (14:40):
Before they could continue to access the information and upload
the stuff they needed to upload, and.

Speaker 2 (14:47):
Jimmy got a copy of it.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
It was a disclaimer that says, I will not use
personal identifying information as defined by this law, obtained from
this database for the purpose of investigating, for participating, in,
cooperating with, or assisting in federal immigration enforcement, including enforcement
of civil immigration laws, unless required by federal or state law,

(15:08):
to comply with a court issued subpoena, warrant, or court order.
So they're making lawyers affirm under penalty of perjury and
you know, basically saying you're going to face all these charges.
And if they did not agree to that, they could
not access the system. Now by I don't know today

(15:30):
that is now gone. But think about this for a second.
Here we are the state of Colorado. We're about to
lose a ton of federal dollars. By the way, we're
going to lose a ton of federal money. And we're
losing federal money because we are a sanctuary state. We
have our governor who has an attorney general that is
suing you know deputies who they allege conspired with Ice.

(15:54):
Now this lawsuits off because the deputy quit. But we
have an attorney general who's literally suing law enforcement officer
for cooperating with Ice. At the same time, our governor
is standing there with a straight face and selling a
line of horsecrap that is so long with a straight face.

Speaker 2 (16:10):
Like I keep waiting for.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Him to go, haha, gotcha, you're being punk. But we're
not because he's out there going we're not a sanctuary state.
I mean, there's no clear definition of a sanctuary state.
I mean what, we're not one. Even if there is one,
we're not one. Except our attorney general is now suing
a member of law enforcement for sharing information about someone

(16:34):
he pulled over. How how do those how do those
two things go together? And why has not a single
member of the press that the governor will talk to
pressed him on this. If it walks like a duck
and it talks like a duck, it's a duck. Colorado
is a sanctuary state. You can say it's not. You

(16:55):
can stand around and go na uh na uh na
uh like a five year old.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
But either you think we're.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
All so stupid that if you keep saying it, we'll
believe it or no one has really pressed him on
whether or not he's so stupid.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
So one of his is stupid, right.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
I think it's him.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
He thinks it's me. But unfortunately, like actual laws that
are on the.

Speaker 4 (17:21):
Books and the actions of the Attorney General seem to
gird my point rather than him. So that means the
governor is stupid. But he's not stupid. We all know
this about Jared Polis. The guy is very very intelligent.
He's just signaling really really hard that he thinks we're
dumber than we think. He is dumb, super aggravating Mandy

(17:42):
from our Common Spirit Health text line at five sixty
six nine. Oh, I find it humorous that people want
to text in making jokes about people in Alabama being dumb,
not knowing the history of Huntsville fairly typical for the
elitist mindset of the people of Colorado. That's a great point.
And I've actually been to Huntsville. I think it's a
cool town and it's lots lots of smarty pants has

(18:03):
live there, lots of them.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Mandy.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
I work in Colorado Springs for a company headquartered in Huntsville,
Huntsville is known to have the most PhD residents per
capita of any city in the country.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
That's interesting, Hi, Mandy, I.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Find it interesting the Democrats never talk about the positivity
of their party. They only talk about anti Trump rhetorick
because that's all they've got. Mandy, Colorado is saying they
only want clean energy as nonsense. Once the power hits
the grid, it's all the same, no difference between clean Wyoming, coal,
nuclear or wind.

Speaker 2 (18:32):
Correct.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
Huntsville is an island of nerds surrounded by a sea
of rednecks. That is also correct, Mandy.

Speaker 2 (18:40):
Maybe Wiser can file.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
Another lawsuit against the Trump administration. Phil Wiser, according to Ross,
and I don't know if this is for public consumption,
but I think it is, so I'm gonna say it anyway.
Ross said, phil Wiser's already said he's gonna sue Trump
over this. Well, he can sue his little pants off.
And why isn't anybody asking Phil Wiser how much time, energy,
and money of the taxpayers has been spent on dumbass

(19:01):
posturing for the governor's race, sorts of lawsuits that are
going to do absolutely nothing. Deputy John Gray of the
ARAPO County Sheriff's Department and his faithful companion, Rex. You,
by the way, is now my faithful companion. Rex has
taken up residents right.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
By my feet.

Speaker 4 (19:16):
He is the cutest little black lab, fun, fun, action
packed little Dogma.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
How old is he now, John, He's going to turn
five in March, so he's about four and a half.

Speaker 4 (19:27):
He still has a lot of energy for a almost
five year old.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
You're supposed to be more mature. Rex. What does Rex
do for the Sheriff's Department?

Speaker 3 (19:35):
So?

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Rex is a multipurpose dog.

Speaker 8 (19:38):
So his full time job is he works with me
as a school resource officer, and we're assigned to elementary schools,
and so he comes and works as a therapy dog
with me in the schools. But he's also an explosive
detection dog.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Oh wow. And then he can track for missing people too.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
Whoa che you little multitasker.

Speaker 8 (19:56):
He's a talented fellow. He has set the precedence for us,
you know, and that's how we were able to really
get a lot of other dogs.

Speaker 4 (20:03):
I was going to say, because when I first met
you guys, I mean, wasn't he one of the first
ones or was he the.

Speaker 8 (20:07):
First, he was the first dog to work in Colorado
as in that dual purpose capacity, so not only is
just a therapy dog, but also able to do detection
work and find We started with firearms and then we
branched onto all explosives, right.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Rex, I get it, man.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
We're all doing more jobs than we used to pal
for no more money either.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
So just get used to it. How many dogs?

Speaker 4 (20:29):
When you guys we were just talking off the air
and you were talking about the fact that Rex's family
line is now a huge part of the Sheriff's department,
like a lot of your dogs are related.

Speaker 8 (20:38):
Yeah, So we have a team of five and all
of them are related, and four of them did the
exact same job. So we have four of our dogs
that are bomb dogs, therapy dogs, and three of them track,
and then we also have an electronics detection dog, which
is actually Rex's brothers. So, like you said, a family affairs,
we have some brothers, and then we have a couple

(21:00):
of our dogs are their nephews, but they're actually littermates.
And then we have another one other dogs kind of
like a cousin. So if you look at their lineage,
it's kind of cool to see that we've taken five
of them from eight weeks old and basically train them
all into the police dog line.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
Is that on purpose because Rex's personality is so suited
to this kind of stuff, or is it? I mean,
do you kind of do that once you find you
have a good dog, maybe say well, maybe see if
we can get some more out of this bloodline, because
I mean, anyone with hunting dogs will tell you that
bloodline matters.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
Oh definitely.

Speaker 8 (21:31):
And while you can never say one hundred percent that
every hunting dog will be a champion hunting dog, you
can definitely stack the stack the cards, right, And so
for us, we just found some really good bloodline hunting dogs.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Y'all waiting for a deputy to throw his toy for him?
He's Rex is just backing up as dogs do, like
I'm waiting. I'm waiting. Oh now we're going to play tags? Yeah,
So what is the difference or is it just training?
When you say three of the dogs can also track
if they're looking for someone, Is that just a matter
of additional training or do some dogs prove to not

(22:06):
necessarily be great for that? How is that decision making process?

Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, A lot of it's training.

Speaker 8 (22:11):
I mean, and sure different dogs have you know, different
levels of drive, but it all just boils down to,
you know, how how we train them. So all dogs
can track, right, and they use that skill to find
food or sticks to chew on or whatever. It's just
teaching them to do it when we want them to
do it, that's the tricky part, right. And so absolutely, yeah,

(22:32):
we put them to you know, to a basically a
sixteen week school that they went to, and we actually
are the ones that we train them, right, And so
we had to work with a trainer, and we're the
hands on trainers with the dog as they give us guidance.
And so it's a cool process to see them really
kind of learn how to use that skill more effectively.

(22:52):
But to be able to find a child who you know,
maybe has autism and wandered away from school, right, you know,
that's a huge concern of our especially with you have
bodies of water or things like that that are dangerous. Right,
and then we have a lot of people that unfortunately
have dementia and go missing too. Yeah, and so for
that ability to you know literally footstep for you know,

(23:15):
footstep track that person is super helpful.

Speaker 4 (23:18):
So I think and I remember I pulled this out
of fit air, or I remembered it from somewhere. They
either have like four forty thousand times more sensitive sniff
than we do, or four hundred thousand. There's smell receptors
are dramatically higher.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
It's crazy.

Speaker 8 (23:35):
I like to use the analogy just because it's easy
for people to visualize. We as people can smell a
teaspoon of sugar in a cup of coffee. A dog
can smell that in two Olympic swimming pools.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
Oh holy cow.

Speaker 8 (23:48):
So their noses are just and their nostrils actually work independently,
so we smell and we just smell whatever it is
at once. Right, their nostrils, they can have one passage
that's taking in the smell of the grass, and there
are other nasal passages taking in whatever's on top of it, right,
another dog or whatever, So they smell those two things independently,

(24:09):
which makes them very effective.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Well, these growing programs with knines that are you know, valuable,
incredibly valuable to law enforcement, they have to be supported,
of course by something, and that's let's talk about the
REX Run for Positivity. This is the fourth annual Rex
Run for Positivity it's a fun day of dogs and running.
Tell people what's going on here, because I know you've
done this before.

Speaker 8 (24:31):
Yeah, So this event is you know, it's obviously inspired
by Rex, but it's really all about the dogs.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
So the purpose of the event. It's a five k
run walk family event.

Speaker 8 (24:42):
So even if nobody wants to in your family wants
to run, you can come out and just see the
dogs and kind.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
Of learn more about them.

Speaker 8 (24:49):
We do demonstrations with them, We have a live auction
as a there's tons of stuff for kids to do.
But the event is all to raise money for the dogs. Right,
So we have equipment needs. A lot of times, our
equipment breaks down fast.

Speaker 2 (25:04):
Yeah like that.

Speaker 8 (25:05):
Yeah, I mean even things like leashes, right, Our leashes
breakdown fast and as she gets pulled across the room,
so you know it's and and training aids too, So
we do a lot of detection training with the dogs,
and so we need we need training aids to do
that with. And so all this stuff comes at a cost.
And dogs do silly things sometimes they have medical expenses,
and I think people sometimes overlook how valuable their donation

(25:30):
or even just coming to the REX run is right
and say you know, I always just say it's really
good to come out and meet the dogs and to
see what they do and to see why.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
It's it's important to support it.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
You know.

Speaker 8 (25:42):
It's it's cool to be at you know, to see
where your money goes, right, It's really cool.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
So where is this event?

Speaker 8 (25:48):
So it's at the Arapo County Fairgrounds on September sixth,
and it goes from seven to noon. And like I said,
you get if you registered to do the runner the walk,
you can bring your dog. It's a dog friendly event,
so can.

Speaker 4 (26:01):
I'm going to add something to that. If your dog
is remotely well trained, you can bring your dog to
this event. If you have a reactive or aggressive dog,
this might not be the event for you.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
I'm just gonna say.

Speaker 8 (26:10):
And if you show up, your dog obviously has to
be on a six foot leash, you know. And but
there's it's the cool thing is it's a really big area.
There's plenty of space for you to have your dog
out there. We have lots of cool things that I
think are cool for the dogs. You know, last time
we were out there, the dogs I think just enjoyed
walking the trail right to where the five k.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
Actually really a traditional five k in the sense you're
not road racing. It's more of a trail race. I
just saw that on the website.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yeah, it's actually really cool. I mean, and it's you're
not doing laps.

Speaker 8 (26:38):
It's one continuous track, which I think is a little
bit commander.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I like that.

Speaker 8 (26:44):
Yeah, and so and you know, like I said, if
if people aren't wanting to run or to walk, they
can still You can even bring your dog and you
can get them sworn in by the sheriff as an
honorary deputy.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
That's so cute, you know. It's uh, you get a
little badge.

Speaker 8 (27:01):
Yeah, they get a little bad the little certificate and
the and the sheriff does a swearing in ceremony.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
It's kind of fun. So oh, I love it.

Speaker 8 (27:09):
We just you know, and we love meeting people that
support the dogs. There's a lot of people that I
think throughout the year they make donations or things like that.
But it's just a fun opportunity for people to actually
interact with the dogs.

Speaker 4 (27:19):
So now I'm not saying that Rex is not still
adorable at the rifled age of five, but I just
saw Canine Riley.

Speaker 2 (27:25):
Is Riley still that.

Speaker 8 (27:26):
Little Unfortunately they are all grown up now, but you
know it's so hard to it's when they're lab puppies
like that.

Speaker 2 (27:34):
He just it's hard.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
Kind of yeah, Mandy, I was today years old when
I learned that dogs smell in stereo. That's from our
text line. One last question, Deputy John Gray with us,
at what age do you start that intensive training so.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
We actually bring them to work literally at eight weeks old,
and we can start developing disruptive coworkers whatever, you know.

Speaker 8 (27:55):
Yeah, especially when people see a canine car and then
outcomes like a tiny right, what is that dog gonna do?

Speaker 2 (28:01):
But but yeah, it's kind of a neat.

Speaker 8 (28:04):
Opportunity for us to really get the dog comfortable in
a lot of different environments, which is unique. Right, So
when I can say, hey, we can bring the dog
to the schools, we can bring them into our community
and do all these things. By the time they're this old,
they're so socialized that we really comfortable in a multitude
of situations.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
I have all the information about the Rex run for
positivity and Deputy John Gray, great to see you again
as well. You hit some devil Rex. You can find
all this on the blog go ahead and sign up.
It's this weekend, but if you sign up ahead of time,
that way you make sure that you get all the
stuff on the website. Rexrun dot com, rexrun dot com.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Good to see you, man, Thanks for having me. All right,
we'll be right back.

Speaker 5 (28:44):
It's a very important day and an important announcement with
great friends of mine. I think I can say this
group is every one of them I rate a ten.
I can't always say that even if they're Republicans, and
these are Republicans, great Republicans. I want to thank you
off of being here for this important announcement seven years
in the making.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
As you know, this has been going.

Speaker 5 (29:06):
On for a long period of time, and I am
thrilled to report that the US Space Command Headquarters will
move to the beautiful locale of a place called Huntsville, Alabama,
forever to be known from this point forward as Rocket City.

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Okay, so Huntsville, Alabama. We love Alabama.

Speaker 5 (29:30):
I only want it by about forty seven points. I
don't think that influenced my decision though, right, that didn't, right,
But we had a lot of competition for this, and
Alabama is getting it, Huntsville in particular, So congratulations everybody.

Speaker 2 (29:46):
Katie, congratulations.

Speaker 5 (29:48):
This will result in more than thirty thousand Alabama jobs
and probably much more than that, and hundreds of millions
of dollars of investment. And that's bidions, because it can't
be millions, it's billions and billions of dollars. Most importantly,
this decision will help America defend and dominate the high frontier,
as they call it. I want to thank Secretary Pete

(30:08):
haig Seth, he's doing a fantastic job. And Secretary of
the Air Force, Troy make Troy, thank you very much.
Great job you're doing, Troy. This is such a big deal.
This is one that everybody wanted to know, what are
you doing. I also want to thank Senators Katie Britt
and I want to get my condolences your grandmother. Her

(30:29):
grandmother just passed away. She was one hundred right well,
and she was very proud of you. Thank you very much,
very very proud of you. So thank you, Katie.

Speaker 7 (30:38):
Woman.

Speaker 5 (30:38):
She must have been to produce you. Indirectly, I can
tell you she had to be Tommy Tubberville, who's a
great coach. And uh, I won't say anything about what
happened with Alabama football this weekend. But you're not used
to that, right, you're not used to that. But Tommy
Auburn one, so you're happy. Tommy has been a great senators,

(31:04):
you know, and fantastic, fantastic guy all around. He was
also a tremendous coach. House Armed Services Committee Chair Mike Rogers,
Thank you, Mike. With Mike, Mike, thank you very much
doing great Mike. Representatives, Barry Moore, all great friends, Robert Adderholt,
Gary Palmer and Dale Strong. Thank you all very much, fellas,

(31:25):
appreciate it. In my first term, we created and I
created a thing called Space Force so important. You know,
we were losing the race in space very badly to
China and to Russia, and now we're far and away
number one in space. And re established Space Com with

(31:47):
a mission to protect American space assets and detect.

Speaker 2 (31:50):
Any threat to our homeland.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
We initially selected Huntsville for the Space comm headquarters, yet
those plans were wrongfully obstructed by the Biden administration, and
as you know, they moved them to a different locale.
And today we're moving forward with what we want to
do and the place that we want to have this
and this will be there for hopefully hundreds of years.

(32:13):
That's where it's going to be. I will say I
want to thank Colorado. The problem I have with Colorado.
One of the big problems they do mail in voting.
They went to all mail in voting, so they have
automatically crooked elections and we can't have that.

Speaker 2 (32:29):
When the state is for mail in.

Speaker 5 (32:31):
Voting, that means they want dis honest elections, because that's
what that means. So that played a big factor also
in Huntsville Space com we'll play a key role in
building the Golden Dome. As you know, that's going to
be a big thing. Everybody wants to be a participant
in it. Missile defense shield. We're going to be having
a golden dome that the likes of which nobody's ever

(32:53):
seen before, the finest, the best, and by the way,
Canada call they want to be a part of it,
and that'll be great, and it wants very much to
be included in that. Then we're going to work something
out with them. I hope to also ensure that our
technological capabilities, of which we're way ahead of anybody else's
nobody close, remain unmatched long into the future. So I'd

(33:17):
like to ask Secretary heik Seth to say a few words.
He was very much a part of it, and really
everybody behind me was. Every one of these people would
call me and lobby me. I said, Katie, I.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Don't want to talk to you anymore. I know, I
know what you want.

Speaker 5 (33:30):
She said, that's right, sir, that's what I want. And
they got their way. So I just want to congratulate.
These are really special people. They're politicians in many ways,
but they're great patriots, I think even more so than politicians.
So they fought very hard to get it, and it's
an honor to give it to Huntsville.

Speaker 2 (33:49):
Pete say a few words. Please thank you, mister President.

Speaker 9 (33:55):
As usual, right place, right time, for the right reason.
In your first administration, you established the Space Force at
a time when we knew we had to be looking
to that domain of space.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
You also re established Space comp.

Speaker 9 (34:07):
To ensure that priority was put in place, and you,
through the Air Force, independently identified that Huntsville, Alabama was
the right place to put it. For other reasons, in
the next administration under Biden, they decided to move it
somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Well.

Speaker 9 (34:20):
During that time, the DoD Inspector General, the Government Affairs Office.
They did their own assessments and where did they say
space comp to go Huntsville, Alabama. So what you're doing today,
mister President, is restoring it to precisely where it should
be based on what the Space Force, the Air Force,
your leadership believes will give us strategic advantage in the future.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
That is Huntsville, Alabama.

Speaker 9 (34:42):
We are way ahead in space, but this will ensure
we say leaps and bounds ahead, because that's the most
important domain.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Whoever controls the skies will control the future of.

Speaker 10 (34:52):
Warfare, and miss President today you're ensuring that happens.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
Thank you. All right, let's go ahead and dip out
of this press conference because it's said what they were
going to say. They're moving into Huntsville, not a surprise.
We'll talk more about this on the other side of
the break. After we talked with my friend David Strong
from Hot Air. He wrote a really interesting column about
a post that President Trump made about Big Farmer. We're
gonna jump into all that when we get back.

Speaker 2 (35:14):
Keep it on KOA.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock,
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
No, it's Mandy Connell and Donna.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
Ka ninetyma God wait say the niceycause the free Thyronald Keith,
you real sad babe.

Speaker 4 (35:42):
Welcome, We welcome to the second hour of the show.
I have lots to say about the move of Space
Force Command in a few moments, but I'm going to
talk to my friend David Strong from hotair dot com first,
because this popped up over the weekend and I saw it,
but I didn't I was busy when I read it,
and I was like, oh, I don't even not even
sure what Donald Trump is saying in this post on

(36:03):
truth Social. But David Strom paid attention and he wrote
a whole column about it because in the post that
President Trump put on truth Social, it seemed to me
after he went back and read it again a bit
of a shot across the bow at both Pfizer and
RFK Junior. So there was like shots fired in all directions.

(36:25):
But then I thought I would let David come on
and talk about it because he did such a great
job in his column. Good to see you again, my friends, Hey,
how are you? I am fantastic? So what did that
that post on truth Social seem to address?

Speaker 2 (36:40):
In your view, David, Well.

Speaker 7 (36:44):
Donald Trout for the past five years has been bragging
about Operation Warp speed and the development of the COVID vaccines,
and he's been very consistent about that until this weekend.
And what he did was open up the question about
whether or not he's been lied to, basically by the

(37:07):
big pharma companies. He says that, you know, Pfizer in particular,
showed him a bunch of numbers about how many millions
of lives they saved, not just with the COVID vaccine actually,
but also with drugs like Paxelvin, which a lot of
doctors say is a very dangerous drug because of liver toxicity,

(37:31):
and there are accusations at least that it is.

Speaker 10 (37:37):
Just far more dangerous that it's worth.

Speaker 7 (37:41):
And basically Trump's challenged them to dump out all the
data and show justification for all the claims that they
made to him. And you will notice that these companies
have not been nearly as vocal in recent months and

(38:02):
years about how great these vaccines are. And Trump seems
to be opening up the question of whether fraud was committed.
And this has a major major impact because it's not
just a public relations problem. If that's the case, these

(38:23):
vaccines were put out under an emergency deco aptorization, and
you know, they made representations and that's how they got immunity,
and if fraud was committed, that immunity could in fact

(38:45):
be taken away.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Well, David, for me personally, one of my great regrets
as a talk show host was I read the studies
that were released by fiz Or. I read all of
the stuff that they put out, and I said to
my audience, I'm going to take this vaccine. I think
you should, and I encourage people to get the vaccine
because I was using the information that Fieserre made available.
Pfizer apparently kept all kinds of information behind the scenes.

(39:10):
And I know that I should have been more doubting
by the fact that they had to be given you know,
liability immunity going forward. That should have been the big
clanging you know, warning.

Speaker 2 (39:20):
Sign, red flag for me.

Speaker 4 (39:21):
But apparently I, just as sometimes I did with men previously,
I just blew right through those warning signs. But this
to me feels significant because he also says, look, you know,
I want them to show now to the CDC and
the public and clear up this mess one way or
the other. Right, So, is he also calling Bobby Kennedy

(39:43):
Junior onto the carpet tour, you know, not producing clearer
documentation or does he saying that documentation doesn't necessarily exist
within the CDC because the drug companies are not giving it.

Speaker 7 (39:58):
Well, I mean, it all depends upon how the data
turns out. I mean, he certainly leaves open the question about,
you know, who's right and who's wrong, which is a
very new thing. And you know what his position on
Kennedy throughout all this time, I think he's been very,

(40:20):
very supportive on the preventative medicine stuff, particularly nutrition and
other things make America healthy again. He has been more ambiguous,
I think on the question of vaccines and one of
the things that we.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Have to keep in mind.

Speaker 7 (40:41):
I mean, you know, Kennedy is the guy who, as
the Secretary of Health and Human Services people have the
most familiarity with.

Speaker 10 (40:50):
But the people underneath him, uh, you know, doctor v n. A.

Speaker 7 (40:55):
Prossad and Jay Batakaria, the are medical professionals with decades
of experience. Badakari is one of the best public health
and virologists out there, and Prisad has very nuanced positions

(41:16):
on vaccines and of course You've got Martin mccery as
well at the FDA, and these are all really top notch,
exceptional people, and I think that they're going to be
the ultimate judges of this, the people who give advice.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
To drump on it.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Well.

Speaker 4 (41:36):
I mean, I just I thought this was extremely interesting.
I'm interested to see what happens next, because it's going
to be hard to argue that if a drug company
was given protection from liability based on incomplete information, I'd
like to know more about that process.

Speaker 2 (41:52):
How was the.

Speaker 4 (41:53):
Decision made to give them immunity from liability from these vaccines?
Was that decision made with all the information available? I
doubt it was.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
So those are the kind of.

Speaker 4 (42:03):
Things implications, Yeah, I mean, this could have incredibly far
reaching ramifications. And I think you said it best in
your column today at hot air dot Com. I'm not
anti big pharma across the board. But what I am
anti big pharma about is the notion that drugs somehow

(42:24):
need to be underpatent indefinitely so generics can never be made,
and the way they gain the system to their advantage
over and over and over again. I am very frustrated
with the industry as a whole. And would like to
see them perhaps brought to heal. I don't necessarily want
to see them destroyed, but I would like to see
them brought to heel just a bit, and this may
be a starting way to do that.

Speaker 5 (42:46):
Well.

Speaker 10 (42:47):
Yeah, and one of the things that we have to understand.

Speaker 7 (42:49):
I thought about this quite a bit because I'm actually
a major consumer pharmaceuticals.

Speaker 10 (42:55):
I had heart issues.

Speaker 7 (42:59):
And you know, even if, for instance, liability the liability
shield is taken away from Pfizer, that would not actually
mean that and Peiser went down that which would be
the result of that.

Speaker 10 (43:17):
There's no question about it.

Speaker 7 (43:18):
I mean, even if the evidence is ambiguous, put any
of these cases in front of a jury, and I
guarantee you they're going to pick the injured person over
the pharmaceutical company, even if the evidence is ambiguous. That's
just the way that the jury system works. So what
would happen, Well, first of all, you know, Peiser as

(43:41):
a company might go down, It might get stripped, but
all the intellectual property would exist, all the people, you know,
it's basically the executives who would be out on the
researchers would still be there.

Speaker 10 (43:57):
They would be picked up by other people.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
It would not actually be a death blow to the
kinds of research that are going on, but it would
be an enormous impact on the way in which pharmaceutical
companies operate, which is clearly ropped.

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Well, I'd love to believe that that's true.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
But Perdue Pharma in twenty twenty five agreed to a
seven point four billion dollar settlement on oxy cotton alone.
Right now, the Sackler family has now backed out of
Purdue Pharma, like, oh, we're just we're gonna wash our
hands of this. Nobody went to jail. Nobody in that
family is never going to pay the price for what
they did in unleashing the opioid epidemic in this country

(44:40):
by lying to doctors, by misrepresenting information. So I don't
think there's any reason to think that Ifiser ended up
having to pay significant settlements. I think seven points four
billion dollars would probably cover a lot of people who
have a vaccine injury or may have lost a loved one.
But the reality is is that these are just little
speed bumps for these companies. They're just little price of

(45:02):
doing business type things. And I'd like to see to
your point, I'd like to see someone go to jail
like you're lying to the president, which seems to be
what the President is implying.

Speaker 2 (45:11):
Here, go to jail. That's what I want to see.

Speaker 4 (45:15):
And I think that would be far more compelling than
thousands and millions and billions of dollars in fines or
judgments or whatever. Send somebody to jail, and every other
pharmaceutical company has to pay attention.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
Well, I think that's right. I'm skeptical as you are
that it would actually happen. I think ultimately the place
where the real pressure point is going to be is
in reforming the FDA, reforming the CDC. And you can

(45:49):
see because ultimately they're the people who push this over
the hump.

Speaker 10 (45:54):
I mean, we should not expect a pharmaceutical company to.

Speaker 7 (45:59):
Voluntar tarly, uh you know, go out of their way
to tell people that, well, here's this product that's going
to make us hundreds of billions of dollars. Uh, you know,
and that's what we're talking about, hundreds of billions of dollars.

Speaker 10 (46:16):
They're not going to go out of their way.

Speaker 7 (46:19):
To volunteer bid information about that. It is the responsibility
of our regulators to ensure that they've got all the data,
and our regulators failed absolutely miserably that they were bound
and determined to get a vaccine out and they were

(46:42):
at least as complicit in lying about it.

Speaker 10 (46:45):
And uh there were I mean, there was not a
lot of coverage of this.

Speaker 7 (46:50):
You know, we're now hearing about this, this satanist who
quit the US at the FDA or I'm sorry, the CDs,
and everybody is crying about it. But actually the top
two vaccine regulators during COVID actually did not want to

(47:12):
have the COVID boosters approved. They said, there's we don't
have enough data about this, we're making representations, there's no
safety data on this, and the media so they resigned.
I mean, the top two FDA regulators resigned during that.
And I guarantee you that ninety nine nine percent of

(47:34):
Americans don't know about.

Speaker 10 (47:36):
That, whereas they know about the guy with the you know,
the leather pentagram as a hero. I mean, it's just bizarre.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
Yep, Amen to that. David Thram is my guest today.
You can read his work at hot air dot com.
I appreciate you making time for me today.

Speaker 10 (47:52):
David always Mandy.

Speaker 2 (47:54):
All right, man, I'll talk to you soon.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
I have a link to that article today as well
on the blog at Mandy's that story. That's like a
developing story. We're gonna watch that. But let me get
back to the fact that Space Command, and thank you
to the texter who said, Mandy, wait, hang on, it's
a little nitpicky, but it's just space Command. Space Force
is different. It's not nitpicky. It is accurate. So thank
you Texter for reminding me of that. I've been trying

(48:18):
to say that, but obviously have not been saying it
the way it needs to be said. Space Command is
moving to Huntsville, Alabama, and I have many, many, many
people on my text line who are very upset with
what I'm guessing they perceive to be my cavalier attitude
about this. First of all, I don't want Space Command
to move to Huntsville, Alabama. Let me just be clear
about that. I don't want anything to hurt Colorado Springs's economy.

(48:41):
I don't want to lose really really smart people who
may have really really smart families and kids that would
be in the area. I don't want to lose any
of that. But this is the least surprising development in
the history of developments, and it's all about politics. It
was all about politics when Joe Biden decided to keep
Space Command here. You just heard Pete Heggseth say all

(49:05):
of the breaches involved said Huntsville would be a better option.
Plus this according to Stars and Stripes magazine and a
bunch of other sources, the Air Force has estimated that
relocating the headquarters to Huntsville would be four hundred and
twenty six million dollars cheaper than remaining in Colorado Springs
over a fifteen year period. This perceived savings comes from

(49:25):
lower personnel and construction costs in Huntsville. The Department, the Department,
excuse me, The Defense Department's Inspector General confers with that figure,
qualifying it as a one time cost advantage for moving
to Huntsville. Now, the General Accountability Office said that a

(49:46):
new facility in Huntsville could cost approximately one point five
billion dollars, and Defense officials have previously noted that the
entire relocation process could take three to four years and
cost hundreds of milli millions of dollars in total. But again,
going back, the Air Force, which is the branch that

(50:07):
oversees Space Force, says over the long.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
Term, it's going to be cheaper.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
So if you weren't mad about the politics of it
when Joe Biden kept it here, which was good for Colorado,
by the way, good for Colorado, then I know it's frustrating,
but you can't be mad about the politics taking it
out of here when there's a lot of justification for
taking it out of here, even as it sucks. What
I'd love to know is what our democratic members of Congress,

(50:37):
what are democratic members of the Senate.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
What our governor did to try and stop this.

Speaker 4 (50:42):
Did they lobby the president, did they make the case,
did they ask to meet with President Trump over this issue?
Or did they run around trying to find new fights
and new ways to sue Donald Trump over everything, To
pass sanctuary state laws that are directly in opposition to
the Trump administration, to have sex education policies that are
so gross the Department of Education is now stepping in

(51:04):
at the federal level. I mean, everything they've done has
been antagonistic, and like it or not, you guys, politics
is always going to be a part of these things.
Politics is a part of every single aspect of every
single budgeted item in the United States of America at
the federal level.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Don't believe me.

Speaker 4 (51:25):
Do you ever wonder how a weapons system that we
contracted to make in like nineteen ninety one could still
be in development after all these years with no weapon.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
To show for it.

Speaker 4 (51:35):
Now, I don't know about the exact timeline, but I
knew know that defense contracts that start really never go away.
And you know why they never go away because there's
a member of Congress and the US Senate. They're going
in saying, man, you can't cut that contract that's in
my district.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
We'll lose jobs.

Speaker 4 (51:49):
People will be out of work, And so the American
taxpayer is on the hook for buying the votes of
the people whose jobs are not lost because of that intervention.
It sucks when you're on the short into the stick,
and we are on the short end of the stick
this time one one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (52:05):
And it is purely, well not purely. It is a political.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
Decision first, but it's also not a bad strategic or
long term financial decision. Those two things can be happening
at the exact same time. And yeah, we're getting screwed
here royally. But other than Phil Wiser rushing out to
sue Donald Trump over. I don't even know what I mean.
I really don't. I have no idea what he's its just,

(52:33):
you know, sue everybody. Phil Wiser is so desperate to
make sure everybody knows he's the guy who's gonna fight Trump.
Even though if we elect a governor Donald Trump doesn't
live in Colorado, I'd much rather have a governor who's
gonna focus on Colorado's stuff, not just resisting Trump, but
to get through the primary, he's got appeal to those

(52:54):
hard left, wack of noodle voters, just like Republicans have
to appeal to the hard right wack of doodle voters.
And so therefore it will be all about how many
times he sued Trump, not how many times he's been successful,
just how many times he sued. But I I you know,
I'm not aware that Governor Jared Polis reached out to
the Trump administration.

Speaker 2 (53:14):
Maybe he did.

Speaker 4 (53:15):
I would not say that there's a zero percent chance
that Governor Jared Pulis did not reach out. He's not stupid,
but he's also not one to probably waste his own time.
So maybe he did, Maybe he didn't. Did Michael Bennett
reach out? Did John Hickenlooper reach out. Did Diana to
get reach out Jason crow Rech, Oh no, wait, they
didn't have time to reach out because they were busy
touring an ice facility on a day that.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
It was closed.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
I mean, I'm just gonna I don't know until we
hear otherwise from the Democratic leadership in this state about
the constructive action steps they took. I'm going to have
to assume one hundred percent of political decision with one
hundred percent no pushback until I hear otherwise. So you know,

(53:58):
I'm sure, by the way that the members of Alabama's
delegation reached out to Joe Biden at some point. As
a matter of fact, I'll see if I can find
that out.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
On this break.

Speaker 4 (54:08):
I'm very interested in that, because even if it's a
purely political decision, and even if the Democrats know that
it's a political decision and there's nothing they can do
about it, they still have to go through the motions, right,
they still have to demonstrate that they're trying, or they
just perfectly content to sit back and use this as
another reason for everybody to hate Donald Trump. I mean,

(54:32):
either way, I would say there's political points to be scored,
because now you have people in the Springs who probably
voted for Donald Trump, who were going to be negatively
affected by this particular decision, who very well could turn
against Trump and the Republican Party. I mean, I wouldn't
blame them with you. We'll see what happens. But yeah,

(54:57):
Colorado Springs voted for it, said this texter on the
comm No excuse me. That was on on Twitter. We
did a little video on Twitter and we're asking for
your reaction. Is that on instant as well? It's also
on Instagram. Check it out at KA Colorado. Do that
on the break and we'll be right back. The Florida
State Seminoles not just beat Alabama, but, as Dave Logan says,

(55:19):
beat the breaks off of them.

Speaker 6 (55:21):
It wasn't quite the Bill Belichick beating last night, but
it was. It was pretty good.

Speaker 4 (55:25):
It was an impressive football game. You know what, though,
a rod taking last season off, just not playing any
games last season like Florida State decided to do. That's
what I told myself, by the way, and I'm just
gonna stick to it. Seems to have paid off.

Speaker 2 (55:37):
Had a different team dressing up last year and everything.

Speaker 4 (55:40):
I just know there's no games. They just they just
never showed up. They just pretended they just took the
season off.

Speaker 6 (55:45):
Well, it's either you take a season off or you
have a great season and don't get represented in a
certain game.

Speaker 4 (55:49):
That was the year before, and that's why they took
the season off arod. They just were like, Nope, we're
not gonna participate in you don't make little game.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
And so they just didn't.

Speaker 4 (55:57):
They didn't play last season and then this season starting
off with a bang. Pretty excited about that. See you
disappointing end.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Of their game. Yeah, not ideal, not an ideal start.

Speaker 4 (56:07):
But can we just have a moment on the fact
that coach Dion Sanders not only has a little potty
on the sidelines, he got it sponsored now. Coach Prime
came out and talked about his battle with bladder cancer
and that he had to essentially get a new bladder
and it was not working quite as well as he

(56:28):
wanted it to. So he was very open about the fact, y'all,
I gotta pee when I got to pee.

Speaker 5 (56:33):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (56:33):
And so they've got a little private crapper right there
on the field, and it's got a little, you know,
a little shell around it so nobody can see what's
going on in there, and it's sponsored by wait for
it depends, Come on, you guys, that is that is
freaking brilliant.

Speaker 2 (56:52):
Is it depend with a with an ass? Is it plural?
Because you know it's just it's just depends.

Speaker 4 (56:58):
It's just depends under rents because you get multiples in
the box, right, it's depend undergarments.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
You can depend on us depend and that is.

Speaker 4 (57:10):
Who sponsors Coach Prime's little you know, honeypot right there
on the side.

Speaker 2 (57:16):
Is it just for him?

Speaker 4 (57:20):
I mean, are you really going to be that guy
who's like, no, you can't use my bathroom, like some
kind of CEO corner sweet guy with a private john
that he won't let anybody else use. Are you just
going to be like, look, if you got to go,
try to go at halftime, and if you have an
emergency and only number one, not number two, because that
would be just rude. You know, sure, unless I mean
it's again, it's his toilet. But even then, I don't

(57:42):
think he wants to have people like having a you know,
clean up some kind of taco bell extravaganza after the game.
You know, But I just thought that was genius. Of
course they got it sponsored, of course they did by
depend of course brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Now, I got a
couple of things on the blog that I want to

(58:02):
get to today, one of which I have to say
a big shout out to the Colorado State Fair and
you guys. I interviewed Scott Stoleer, the general manager of
the fair, several times over the last few years. Nicest guy,
super nice guy. Loved love love talking to him. So
when I saw this story, I was like, Scott, what
are you doing?

Speaker 2 (58:22):
It's not Scott.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
Scott like stepped down. He retired last year. So I
got a new fair general manager.

Speaker 2 (58:29):
And this video. Did you see this video from the
Fairy Rod? Did you see it?

Speaker 8 (58:34):
No?

Speaker 2 (58:35):
I joke.

Speaker 4 (58:35):
Actually, right now, I need you to go to the
blog mandy'sblog dot com. You know how to find it
latest post blah blah blah. There's video of one of
the bits of entertainment from the Colorado State Fair. And
if ever, if ever, there was a situation where oh boy, no.

Speaker 2 (58:54):
I need you to watch it. I need you to
watch it. I've seen it.

Speaker 4 (58:58):
You have to see it.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Go.

Speaker 2 (59:00):
It is a woman of some heft.

Speaker 4 (59:05):
And she is wearing like leotarde shorts kind of things,
and like a tight fitting top. And she is performing
at an outdoor stage at the Colorado State Fair on
a stripper pole. Now, guys, they're called stripper poles for
a reason. Right there, and I realized that there's lots

(59:25):
of exercise classes, there's pole dancing classes. And do not
for a second think I'm underestimating the kind of physical
strength you need.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
To pole dance. It requires a lot of me.

Speaker 4 (59:38):
I'm just saying, I'm not knocking her dancing. What I'm
knocking is the following number one. We don't need to
encourage kids to get on the pole. Okay, we don't
need to do that. My job, as the mother of
a daughter is to keep my daughter off the pole, right,
That's like job number one. And stripper poles are inherent

(01:00:00):
sexualized items. Now, the person who put this on, by
the way, this is the third year this event has
happened at the fair. The woman who put it on
said this. I just want to she said this about
pole dancing. It is a legitimate sport and art form,
a recognized worldwide, with strength, flexibility, musicality, and storytelling at

(01:00:23):
its core. I did not get any of that from
this performance, And I just think, you know what, why
do you continue to do things that create any kind
of kerfuffle? Like why can't we just say, you know what,
if they wouldn't have proved it for the fair fifty
years ago, let's not approve it for the fair now.

Speaker 6 (01:00:42):
The not the biggest crowd, no taking this in in
this video, but man, they are locked in like a
car accident.

Speaker 2 (01:00:47):
You can't turn away.

Speaker 4 (01:00:48):
From yep, yep, yep, yep, man yep. And I'm I'm
just like, can you can you pole dance in leggings?

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
That's my question?

Speaker 4 (01:00:57):
Leggings might have been a better choice, might have showed
off the athleticism a little differently and showed off a
little less of other parts.

Speaker 6 (01:01:06):
Yeah, and the first first ten frames of the video
all established this is not for being athletic and events.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
They know what they're doing. Yep. Yeah, this is for
it being what you would think it would be. Yep,
that's fair. I might see that first ten frames.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
Can I ask a question because somebody asked me this
question and I didn't really have an opinion because I've
only been to the State Fair here, which I've already said,
I thoroughly enjoyed.

Speaker 2 (01:01:31):
I like a fair because when I was.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
A kid, I grew up in a small town, in
a rural community, and the fair coming in.

Speaker 2 (01:01:37):
The fall was the biggest deal.

Speaker 4 (01:01:40):
All of the kids, every teenager was out there every
night with our little wristband, riding the rides that are
all put together by mets, smoking carnies that were trying
to get us to come behind the ride with them
and you know, hang out and have cigarettes or something.

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
But I love the fair.

Speaker 4 (01:01:54):
I love all the the animals, I love all the
slobber goods not dead last, and I'm proud of it.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
Proud of it.

Speaker 4 (01:02:04):
Anthony. Well, you know what, I can't beat a guy
who can shove a whole slopper down his pie hole
in forty five seconds.

Speaker 2 (01:02:10):
I should have come instead, you should. I can make
that happen. I might have to.

Speaker 4 (01:02:16):
I'm telling you, man, I'll put you in for us both.
I'm not doing that again. But nonetheless, I love the fair.
So it evokes all of these sort of community childhood memories.
And I know that especially down in Douglas County. You've
got the fair in Douglas County that is supposed to
be really really good. You've got the kiowaffair that is
very like lots of cow centrics. But city folks, this

(01:02:38):
doesn't feel like a big deal to you, right because
if you want to go ride rides, you go to Elitch's.

Speaker 7 (01:02:43):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:02:45):
Is it a thing that you even know does didn't
even have a fair.

Speaker 2 (01:02:49):
Let's just say this.

Speaker 6 (01:02:50):
I drove by it on the way down south this
weekend and I go, oh, it's over there. Oh that's
the that's the fair.

Speaker 2 (01:02:57):
I was like, that's it. Have you ever been to it? No?

Speaker 6 (01:02:59):
Maybe I just came like drove by the wrong angle
because it didn't look like a big old thing.

Speaker 4 (01:03:05):
It's not the biggest state fair, like the Kentucky State
Fair is insane, it's ridiculous. The Kentucky State Fair is massive.
So it's not as big as that, but it's.

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Still very pleasant.

Speaker 4 (01:03:15):
We had a nice time. We walked around, we talked
to people, we went to boots, we had fair food,
we rode some rides.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
It was good.

Speaker 4 (01:03:20):
It was just an affordable, fun afternoon.

Speaker 10 (01:03:23):
I liked it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:23):
I mean, Colorado has a fair. It's called the Renaissance Fair. Yeah,
the Ren's Fair here is amazing. That's our thing.

Speaker 4 (01:03:29):
I keep telling people that this Renaissance Fair in Larkspur
is one of the best I've.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Ever been to in my life.

Speaker 6 (01:03:34):
Yeah, when you think it's gonna be awesome, this was
our first time going. It is so well done. Every
bit of it, every single aspect of it is immaculate.
It's like Little Disneylander World.

Speaker 4 (01:03:45):
It is so cool for Renaissance festivals, it's it's one
of the best I've ever been to, and I have
been to more than my share of Renaissance festivals.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
I will tell you a.

Speaker 4 (01:03:54):
Full on geek like I'm I heard I have nerdy qualities,
but I'm not a full on geek. But boy do
I love a rent us On.

Speaker 6 (01:04:00):
We were big nerds and it gave everything we wanted
in more and I expected the turkey leg to be
mid and it was so delicious.

Speaker 4 (01:04:07):
Oh now a turkey legs, smoke turkey legs, there's nothing
better than that. Come on, well, the thing is do
do right. Yes, we had a bad smoke turkey flag.
I've never had a bad smoke turkey leg. It was
ever so good. Mandy, I'm surprised it isn't a three
hundred pound tranny dancing Denver's Fair is pride.

Speaker 2 (01:04:24):
Okay, that's fair.

Speaker 4 (01:04:25):
H how about this Peblo State Fair is okay, but
it's more of a street fair. You know what, that's
kind of fair. That's a fair fair analysis, right there,
fair fair, Mandy, our priorities are all wrong if you
see that at a fair, and you know what, Texter,
that is kind of the point I was making. We
don't need to normalize everyone's hobbies.

Speaker 2 (01:04:45):
Okay, just you asked the question why, just why? Yeah, yeah, why, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (01:04:50):
Douglas County is decent, but o c. Los Angeles, and
San Diego have better fairs. Well, I don't live in
any of those places.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
I'm just saying, I.

Speaker 4 (01:04:59):
Wonder if the fairs weren't those things that's kind of
lost its way, you know, like Christmas parades, things like that.

Speaker 2 (01:05:04):
It was such a staple childhood. Yeah, maybe all the
way you feel the midness, it's like, well.

Speaker 4 (01:05:14):
It's just dripping with half assery.

Speaker 2 (01:05:16):
Yes, is that what it is? Yeah? I could see that.
Did I mention? Already?

Speaker 4 (01:05:20):
The floor of State beat Alabama decisively. I just want
to begin and end this segment on that happy note.
I want to talk very quickly about a story that
is very interesting. I saw this tweet yesterday and then
read the accompanying article that went with it, famous restaurant
tour Troy Guard. Troy Guard has been one of I

(01:05:42):
think the leading edge chefs in Denver in terms of
building what has been Denver's restaurant seen. He has been
one of a handful that kind of everybody knows. He
owns Garden Grace, that's Los Chinones. He owns a bunch
of different properties, well fewer properties than he used to.
Troy Guard last year moved to Houston, Texas. Somebody caught

(01:06:07):
up with him and asked him about running a restaurant
in Denver. This is what he had to say. I
want nothing to do with it anymore. I don't live
in Denver anymore. I don't want to open in Denver anymore.
It's not my favorite place to do business. I have
more opportunities in Houston. So then I went read the
rest of the article, and the rest of the article
is about what restauranteurs are facing in Denver and how

(01:06:28):
very very quickly we are driving mom and pop restaurants,
little immigrant restaurants, all of them out of business. A big, big,
big part of it is the ridiculous minimum wage for servers.
It has created such a disparity between the front of
the house and the back of the house.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
Why anyone would work.

Speaker 4 (01:06:46):
Their butts off in the kitchen for half the money
that the servers are making is beyond me, and restauranteurs
who can't make the numbers work.

Speaker 2 (01:06:55):
Listen to this.

Speaker 4 (01:06:57):
Denise Michelson of the Colorado Restaurant Association and said most
operators are are just trying to survive twenty twenty five.
Though restaurants across the US faced similar challenges, she believes
Colorado is one of the hardest places to operate CRA
and USA Today reported that Colorado had the highest menu
price inflation in the country in twenty twenty three. One

(01:07:20):
operator told her costs are up thirty nine percent since
last year, while menu prices only rose fifteen percent. She's
in the red, said Miss Michelson. She's lost so much
money in the last three years. She doesn't know if
they're going to make it through Christmas. Last month, cap
City Tavern at Denver staple that Mayor Mike Johnston eulogized
in his July State of the City address, closed a

(01:07:41):
note on its Instagram read. The increase in minimum wage,
costs to food and the taxes and fees that the
City of Denver is imposing on restaurants has become too
much to bear. Sadly, we are not alone, as the
community of independently owned restaurants in Denver is literally going extinct.

Speaker 2 (01:08:00):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:08:02):
I realize it's obnoxious when someone says I told you so,
but let's just do.

Speaker 2 (01:08:07):
That for a moment, shall we. This is exactly exactly what.

Speaker 4 (01:08:14):
Talk show hosts and people like me have been warning
the Denver City Council and the state of Colorado for years.

Speaker 2 (01:08:22):
Now businesses will.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
Reach a point where they say it's not worth it,
or even worse, owning a restaurant is now a hobby.
I can no longer afford right. Forget about making money
for retirement. Forget about having an asset that can grow
in value that maybe you could sell to someone.

Speaker 2 (01:08:39):
No, forget about all that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:41):
We are going to be left in downtown Denver in
the surrounding areas with nothing but Chaine restaurants who can
afford to run on incredibly thin margins because they can
make it up elsewhere. I this past week went and
looked at the menu. I was having dinner with a
new client, lee Er Capital. I'm very excited about that
and that their president, and we had dinner at the

(01:09:02):
Old Hickory Restaurant in the Gaylord Hotel because he literally
flew in and flew out, so we had rest right
there at the gay Lord.

Speaker 2 (01:09:08):
It's a perfectly fine restaurant.

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
I'm not knocking this restaurant at all, Okay, but they
have other locations for this restaurant.

Speaker 2 (01:09:15):
And I'm looking at the menu.

Speaker 4 (01:09:16):
I wanted to see what the restaurant was like before
we go. And I pull up the menu for the
Old Hickory Steakhouse or whatever it's called, and I'm looking
at the prices and I was like, oh my god,
these prices are so cheap. Do you know what I
thought was cheap? A seven ounce pil a for fifty
three dollars, and in my mind in Denver, I was like,
holy crap that. Then I realized those were the prices

(01:09:38):
for Tennessee, not Denver. Same steak here, seventy eight dollars.
Why I don't know, I don't know, but I mean
a twenty five dollars difference for the same amount of meat.
That seems ridiculous and crazy. And that is what Colorado
restaurant tours are dealing with every day, and more and

(01:10:00):
more restaurant diners like me and Chuck. We hardly ever
go out to dinner anymore, we really don't. We'll go
out to breakfast. We love going out to breakfast because
that's still relatively affordable. But going out to dinner, I mean,
just for the two of us, even without drinks, it's.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
Like a hundred bucks.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
And that's not even in a super nice place. So,
I mean, we are in a really bad way. And
politicians would do well to pay pay attention to the
people who have said I've had enough, I'm leaving, I'm
taking my business, I'm taking my jobs, and I'm taking
my fantastic restaurants, and I'm going to somewhere where we
will be appreciated and not hated and treated as a

(01:10:38):
blank check.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock,
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:10:44):
No, it's Mandy Connell and.

Speaker 3 (01:10:49):
On FM.

Speaker 2 (01:10:54):
Got the nicey nicronkey thing. You really sad base.

Speaker 4 (01:11:05):
We blahcah blah NL to a Monday edition of the show. Wait,
it's Tuesday. But it feels like Monday because we had
a short week. Ha ha tha, that's fantastic. Anyway, we
got a lot of stuff on the blog today. We've
already covered a lot of stuff. We've talked pretty extensively
about Space Command moving to Huntsville, Alabama, and how that

(01:11:27):
sucks for Colorado Springs, but is honestly, absolutely unsurprising in
the nakedly.

Speaker 2 (01:11:33):
Political world that we live in.

Speaker 4 (01:11:35):
So before you get all freaked out, this is expected
over the next fifteen years, according to the Air Force's calculations,
to save about five hundred million dollars, even after having
to build a facility upfront out there. So it's not
just political, but it's mostly political. Okay, We've talked about

(01:11:56):
that today. We've also spent a little bit of time
talking about some various things that have happened. We've got
an interesting story on the blog today by Jimmy Seckenberger
about attorneys being forced to swear that they would not
assist ice in any way, shape or from. Hey, ay Rod,
did I mention that Florida State beat Alabama yet today?

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Did I get that in? Did you? I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:12:18):
I just want to point out on Saturday, Florida State
manhandled Alabama.

Speaker 2 (01:12:24):
I don't think you mentioned that. Okay, good.

Speaker 4 (01:12:26):
I just want to make sure I get that in
make sure we get that. This next story that I have,
I want to know if you guys spent any time
in our national parks this year. I have only done
state parks this summer, and the state parks I've seen
no impact on anything. They're all wonderful and as a
matter of fact, we had.

Speaker 2 (01:12:43):
So much rain this summer.

Speaker 4 (01:12:45):
Some of the state parks that are normally crispy by
this time, like where everything's brown and crunchy, still green
and gorgeous. Okay, but I saw this yesterday on x
and it was a text, or not a text, a
tweet from a guy named Ryan Auger. Never heard of
this guy before in my life, but he said. I
was just banned from Reddit's National Park subreddit for saying

(01:13:07):
that Glacier National Park was in great shape despite staff reductions.
And this is what the guy posted. He said, just
backpack for three days in Glacier National Park and the
panic over staff reductions is widely overblown. I asked a
few rangers how they were handling staff reductions, and they
said their trail crews were down.

Speaker 2 (01:13:28):
About fifty percent.

Speaker 4 (01:13:29):
However, while hiking the Higline trail GNP to fIF we
had two separate rangers ask us for our passes in
ten years. This is the first time we've ever been
asked trail maintenance. Why is it seemed perfectly fine over
all thirty three miles of our hike. I didn't see
a single piece of trash on the ground anywhere over
the course of five days. The park was crowded, lots

(01:13:52):
of people, but the services seem fine. Shuttles running on time,
toilets good, campsites clean whoopsie, do not mean to click
of that campsite clean? And the only issue that was
at Fish Creek the toilets and campsite CEE were out,
but A and D were working. I called my state
senators and those in Montana and Utah both over the
NPS initial reduction and a hiring pause, as well as

(01:14:15):
over the sale of public lands, to fight against them,
and we won. This year, the pause was removed too
late to fully restaff all seasonal employees, but next year
it should be back up to the full eight or
nine thousand. The outcome is that the parks are staffed
pretty well and aren't going to be sold. I don't
think there's a huge cause for concern. Everyone seems to
panic and post a new article on here every day

(01:14:35):
for and they blocked him. But that's only part of
the story. He gets blocked on Reddit and when he
asked about it, he said, I posted about my experience
at a national park and it was locked within an hour.

Speaker 2 (01:14:48):
Why?

Speaker 4 (01:14:49):
And the national park moderator responded with this, Sorry, we
don't tolerate lying about staffing funding conditions at national parks
when the fact that both are having an impact are
well documented.

Speaker 2 (01:15:01):
So who are you gonna believe us?

Speaker 4 (01:15:04):
Are your own lion eyes? So imagined by delight. When
I saw a story today about from the Denver Gazette,
it's an editorial, as a matter of fact, and it's
an editorial that says essentially the same thing that all
of Colorado's parks are doing just fine this year, that

(01:15:25):
they've had a lot of people, but there's not big
piles of trash or parks being closed early, or animals
dying or whatever we were told was going to happen
when they said we have to cut the budget for
parks and wildlife. According to this Denver Gazette editorial.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
Panic.

Speaker 4 (01:15:41):
Cries of crisis and imminent doom were wide ranging when
the Trump administration began its question trim federal fat last January.
Among the dire fore warnings was one that our national
parks would collapse if forced to reduce staff. And then
they had an in depth Gazette news report, it's been

(01:16:02):
business as usual at Rocky Mountain National Park. That's, of course,
the most prominent and visited of the state's four national parks.
In mid July, a peak month in the Front Range Jewel,
all operations appeared normal, the gauzette reported, after assessing data
as well as input from visitors and locals alike. Bathrooms
at the Beaver Meadows Visitors Center were clean, park rangers

(01:16:24):
assisted visitors at the front desk, and trails were no
more littered than usual, and then it just goes on.
The normalities stood in sharp contrast to the worries after
the Trump administration imposed a mass layoff at the National
Park Service in another federal agencies in February. At the time,
many predicted a dire situation of delayed openings, closed campgrounds,
perhaps canceled guided tours, and even uncollected trash and uncleaned restrooms.

(01:16:48):
But see, here's the thing, you guys. Government workers are
just like the rest of us, especially workers who work
in an environment that they love and they care about.
I was telling somebody from the time I started in
this building thirteen years ago, I think our staff is
maybe a third of what it was when I started,
maybe a little more. So many people that used to

(01:17:09):
be here are not here anymore. So many jobs that
used to be here are not here anymore. They just
don't exist in this company anymore, in this market. And
you know what everybody else has done. They've picked up
the slack, they've been given more responsibilities, and they've managed.

Speaker 6 (01:17:23):
And does it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:23):
Is it great?

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
No, it's not. It's not great.

Speaker 4 (01:17:27):
Is it ideal? No, it's not ideal. But it's what
we do when we have some kind of pride in
our work. And hats off to the men and women
of the National Park Service who decided to go to
work as they have for probably years now and take
care of our beautiful national parks with less. But as
for like a degree of you know, sympathy like this

(01:17:49):
should never happen that I don't have that because in
private business. We've been doing this for years, and the
fact that the federal government has to do the same now,
you know, I don't have a ton of sympathy that
they're being asked to tighten their belts the way we've
tightened ours for a long time. Now, just throwing that
out there. We're gonna take a quick time out back

(01:18:10):
after this. Ay, Rod, what did you do to make
a gorilla flip you off at the Shyanne Mountain Zoo?

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
Nothing at all. Just went and enjoyed his presence and
he was just.

Speaker 4 (01:18:20):
Like, Hey, you look like a guy I'm gonna flip off.

Speaker 6 (01:18:22):
To be fair, it was like a whole group of people,
So it wasn't directed directly exclusively at me.

Speaker 4 (01:18:27):
But just in general. It's just the waving of the
ural number one. Well it was in it was in
my direction, in your general direction. Yeah, Okay, what can
be awesome?

Speaker 2 (01:18:37):
Yes? Cool? Well, tricky and adorable, you know what.

Speaker 4 (01:18:41):
I'm trying not to just make assumptions about a movie
that's coming out in November. But according to the coverage
that the carpenter's son is getting, they seem to have
made a biblical horror story, not horror horror horror story.

(01:19:08):
Horror story. The movie, written and directed by Lotfi Nathan
and this is a quote, tells the dark story of
a family hiding out in Roman Egypt. The Sun, known
only as the Boy, is driven to doubt by another
mysterious child and rebels against his guardian, the Carpenter, revealing

(01:19:28):
inherent powers and a fate beyond his comprehension. As he
exercises his own power, the Boy in his family become
the targets of horrors, horrors, natural and divine horrors.

Speaker 2 (01:19:42):
Horrors.

Speaker 4 (01:19:44):
Just make sure that he's not being attacked by horse.

Speaker 2 (01:19:47):
Okay, so this is a movie.

Speaker 4 (01:19:52):
By the way, the trailer is not worth sharing because
the trailer is twenty seconds of moody nonsense with no
dialogue that tells.

Speaker 2 (01:20:03):
You nothing I mean and who's starring in it? Say it.
I'm just gonna say.

Speaker 4 (01:20:08):
Can we all just agree that though he has had
stellar roles in his career, at this stage, Nicholas Cage
just seems to be going, Oh, well, your check clear, Yes,
I'll do your film.

Speaker 6 (01:20:21):
Have you watched the Nicholas Cage movie about Nicholas Cage
with Pedro Pascal, Oh my god, it's so funny.

Speaker 2 (01:20:27):
So good.

Speaker 4 (01:20:27):
It's it's one of my favorite Nicholas Cage movies for
a really long time.

Speaker 8 (01:20:31):
What is it?

Speaker 2 (01:20:31):
It's called the something something something of Nicholas Cage.

Speaker 4 (01:20:34):
The incredible weight of being what the incredible genius, incredible
wave of the genius or something something.

Speaker 2 (01:20:41):
The unbearable weight of massive talent. That's it.

Speaker 4 (01:20:44):
And it's so and it's Pedro Pascal and Nicholas Cage
as himself only it's just so entertaining.

Speaker 2 (01:20:51):
It's incredible. It's so meta. It's it's meta's definitions.

Speaker 4 (01:20:55):
Okay, people don't understand what meta means. What does meta means?
Go ahead defining it. I didn't use the word.

Speaker 2 (01:21:02):
I don't know how to define it. What what find
does meta mean? Slang?

Speaker 4 (01:21:09):
Because I know you know in slang, meta means something
that is self referential, self aware, or comments on its
own nature or context. And the whole movie is Nicholas
Cage being a complete jerk as Nicholas Cage and having
this like full arc of self discovery in this crazy
movie about drug dealers and cartels, and it's so good.

Speaker 6 (01:21:33):
It's just beautiful irony that like makes fun of itself
that you go, aha, I see what you're doing.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Yeah kind of thing. Yeah, that's what meta.

Speaker 4 (01:21:41):
And Nicholas Cage is so perfect. It really is the
role he was born to play. And now and now
he's playing Jesus's father in a horror movie about Jesus. Now, you, guys,
does nobody ever go you know, guys, this could be offensive.

Speaker 2 (01:21:58):
People might be offended if.

Speaker 4 (01:22:00):
We're taking their Lord and savior and turning him into
kind of a punchline in a horror movie. Horror movie,
I bet you. And I'm just gonna go on a
limb here.

Speaker 2 (01:22:13):
I bet you.

Speaker 4 (01:22:13):
Nobody's gonna make a movie with Mohammed as some kind
of you know, horror star.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
I'm just gonna say it. This movie will park the
Red Sea among viewers, I would guess.

Speaker 3 (01:22:28):
So.

Speaker 4 (01:22:29):
I just it's amazing that nobody ever goes is this
a good idea?

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
No, it's not. They never seem to have that notion.
They see the best idea and then they see things like, uh, the.

Speaker 6 (01:22:42):
Like the ad not the AI, the works of Winnie
the Pooh and Mickey Ago one hundred years beyond.

Speaker 2 (01:22:50):
Oh, we can do these things now, Yeah, but they
haven't been done for a reason. Yeah, and this as
well beyond one hundred year thing. I would say, so
just by a few years. This text or it has horrors.
Sign me up. No horrors, horrors, horrors, horror. HHO R

(01:23:11):
R O R S.

Speaker 4 (01:23:15):
Mandy, did you was it was your first pitch better
than Ryan's? Ryan Edwards will be joining us at the
end of the show to discuss his first pitch.

Speaker 2 (01:23:25):
I don't remember yours, but his was. His was pretty good.
It was a good pitch. It's pretty good.

Speaker 4 (01:23:29):
I don't know if I could. I don't have an
angle where I can compare who is more over the plate?

Speaker 2 (01:23:35):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (01:23:36):
I mean the fact that you get close to the
plate is the winning itself. Yeah, close to the plate
and you don't spike the ball and you don't air
air air mail.

Speaker 4 (01:23:44):
It no, no, Mandy. So, I was just watching the
midday news on NBC. The reporter just stated that Trump
is using the fact that Colorado has mail in voting
as the soul or a key justification for moving space
command to Alabama. Weird, fake news. We probably said it.
Here's the thing, you guys. We started to run the
president's press conference, and immediately I was sorry I did,

(01:24:06):
because this is we tuned in just to hear, Oh,
Katie Britt, you're so great. No, you're great, mister President.

Speaker 2 (01:24:11):
No, you're great.

Speaker 4 (01:24:11):
Your grandmother must be great, and she raised you. And
I was like, what are we doing? But then we
got to the media of the situation and Pete Headseth,
the sec Deaf, the Secretary of Defense, actually got up
and said, look, the Air Force, the government, they all
wanted us to put it in Alabama, and Joe Biden
chose not to. So we're just putting it where the

(01:24:32):
military wants it. That's one reason. But whatever political reason you.

Speaker 2 (01:24:37):
Might have heard, of course, it's all politics.

Speaker 4 (01:24:40):
We've been talking about the fact that Space Commanda is
going to be moving to Huntsville, Alabama. Yeah, it's a
political decision, but not one. And this is where I
am interested to see the argument that Phil Wiser is
going to be making. You just heard him in the news,
if you just heard Keenan's News talking about how it's
going to affect readiness in the it's just a bad

(01:25:00):
idea and it's bad for America.

Speaker 2 (01:25:02):
Well, he's going to have to prove that.

Speaker 4 (01:25:04):
And right now, the as it stands, in the last
six years, this has been evaluated multiple times by the
Air Force, which is the organization the umbrella that Space
Force resides under, and the Air Force chose hunts Phil
back in twenty twenty one, and the Biden administration said no.

(01:25:26):
So it's going to be very interesting to watch this
process as bil Weiser tries to stop this and he's
going to have to argue against what the organization that
actually runs this thing said back in twenty twenty one.
So we're going to be keeping an eye on this.
It does suck terribly for Colorado Springs and the workers
who are working at Space Force Space Command, excuse me,

(01:25:50):
Space Command.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:25:51):
I have to get this in because I enjoyed this
so much today that I wanted to share it with you.
Kind of think of it as as like a happy
way to end the day. I want to take you
to a group called the Capital Research Center. They called
themselves America's investigative think tank, and they looked back in time,

(01:26:14):
back twenty years ago, twenty years ago. Hurricane Katrina hit
New Orleans on August twenty ninth, twenty two thousand and five,
and they decided that they were going to go back
and check in on a few things that one, mister
Alfred Gore. No, he's Albert, isn't He's Albert Gore.

Speaker 2 (01:26:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:26:34):
Albert Gore Junior threw out into the ether back in
two thousand and six when he released a and I'm
putting air quotes around documentary. When he released a doomsday
documentary that won him an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize.
It was called An Inconvenient Truth, and in it he
did his dead level best to scare everyone who watched

(01:26:56):
it into thinking that we were going to die, and
we were going to die right away, and we were
going to die like tomorrow. And they went back and checked.
As explained in a January twenty twenty three Capital Research
magazine report on Gore's career, he was happy to toss

(01:27:18):
some Katrina shaming into his narrative and in the.

Speaker 2 (01:27:21):
Book or Excuse Me.

Speaker 4 (01:27:22):
In the film, al Gore said, we have seen in
the last couple of years a lot of big hurricanes.

Speaker 2 (01:27:27):
And that's true.

Speaker 4 (01:27:29):
In two thousand and four, two thousand and five, there
were so many hurricanes that hit the state of Florida.
And I know because I lived there, live through all
of them. There was Charlie, there was Wilma, there was Iris,
there was Hugo, there was all of these different hurricanes
that hit Florida and hit the East coast. So yeah,
there was a lot of hurricanes in those two years,

(01:27:49):
and that led al Gore to say that Gore claimed
the lesson to learn was that we had been ignoring
warnings that hurricanes would get stronger because of human inflicted
climate change. The National Oceanic and ATMOSPHERICUS Administration NOAH as
we call it, hosts a regularly updated web page titled
global Warming and Hurricanes and Overview of current research results,

(01:28:13):
and the update as of October twenty twenty two has
this to say. We conclude that the historical Atlanta hurricane
data at this stage do not provide compelling evidence for
a substantial greenhouse warming induced century scale increase in frequency
of tropical storms, hurricanes or major hurricanes, or the proportion

(01:28:34):
of hurricanes that become major hurricanes. NOAH lists six named
hurricanes making landfall in the continental US in two thousand
and five, including four major ones, but since then not
so much. In the next ten years. Since two thousand
and six through twenty sixteen, not a single major hurricane

(01:28:56):
hit the United States during seven of those years and
nine to twenty fifteen, just four total hurricanes of any
kind made landfall, three of them category one and one
a category two. And you allow someone who's lived through
storms of all these sizes. Category one, you don't even
like you have friends over. You might even barbecue because

(01:29:16):
it's just going to be rain in a little bit
of wind. Category two, you're like, ah, we might want
to hunker down, but you're not leaving. Category three, you're like,
I'm out of here.

Speaker 2 (01:29:26):
If you're smart.

Speaker 4 (01:29:28):
No comparable era of docile hurricanes appears in the Noah
records going back more than a century. This period of
unprecedented calm following immediately on the heels of gorse hurricane
hyperbole was one.

Speaker 2 (01:29:42):
For the books. But that's not all.

Speaker 4 (01:29:47):
Al Gore also, by the way, said all kinds of stuff,
and they did a full report.

Speaker 2 (01:29:55):
How about this the glacial recount.

Speaker 4 (01:29:59):
Yeah, he's been thirty years since al Gore was transformed
from US senator into a climate alarmist. By the way,
in that same timeframe, al Gore's net worth went from
about two million dollars roughly when he stopped being vice president,
to about three hundred million dollars. Now, you don't make
all that from book deals. Now, just remember, al Gore

(01:30:24):
is the one who told us that the glaciers were
going to be gone from Glacier National Park. Yep, yep,
they were going to be totally, totally gone. And this
is what he had to say. He said at the end, Oh,
hang on one second, let me see here. Within fifteen years,

(01:30:46):
this will be the park formerly known as Glacier. Now,
this is two thousand and five or two thousand and
six that he made this prediction. The keepers of the
park even agreed. At some point or another. They affixed
signs telling tourists to say goodbye to Glaciers, and the
computer models indicate the glaciers will all be gone by

(01:31:08):
the year twenty twenty. That prophecy kind of just went
away in twenty twenty one. And here's the kicker. By
twenty twenty, Glacier National Parks say Goodbye to the Glacier
signs had been sheepishly replaced with carefully vague warnings that
the glaciers are indeed shrinking and will one day vanish,

(01:31:30):
but the reality is they're still there. Glacier National Park's
website also says the onset of a warming trend at
the end of that little ice age called glaciers to
begin their retreat, and that their continued pace of decline
is quote due to both natural and human caused climate change.
That's a way to hedge without assigning, you know, kind

(01:31:54):
of blame, without actually assigning blame.

Speaker 2 (01:32:00):
That's not all he said.

Speaker 4 (01:32:02):
Remember when he said that it was going to be
the end of snow, that there would be no more snow.

Speaker 2 (01:32:07):
Kids would not know what a snow day is.

Speaker 4 (01:32:11):
Within the decade, there will be no more snows of Kilimanjarro.
Except again, still wrong. As of November twenty twenty two,
snow forecast dot Com, a webpage for skiers, reported that
an average of ninety three combined inches of snowfall that's
about eight feet hits just the middle altitudes of Kilimanjarro

(01:32:32):
during November and December. Nine inches of combined snowfall is
the average expected for the middle elevations in July and August.
Those are the lightest two month periods for snowfall. The
upper altitudes of Kilimanjarro still get pummeled, with an average
of fourteen feet of snow during November and December. Another

(01:32:53):
ten inches is expected during April and May. For a perspective, Syracuse,
New York, sometimes crowned America's snowiest city, records an average
snowfall of one hundred and twenty seven inches for the
entire year.

Speaker 2 (01:33:07):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:33:08):
Going on seven years past the day when Gore said
there'd be no more snore on Kilimanjaro, the mountain still
catches more annual snow than the people who live in
the snowiest American city will ever see over several years.

Speaker 2 (01:33:20):
But that's not all they got wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:33:22):
We'll keep going and remind you of the greatness of
an inconvenient truth. How about sea levels? Remember how sea
levels we were all going to be swallowed. The whole
state of Florida was.

Speaker 2 (01:33:33):
Going to be gone, completely gone.

Speaker 10 (01:33:38):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:33:40):
While net sea change has been upward, according to NASA,
happening as a result of human cause global warming, the
tracker also shows a few sharp declines. During one ten
month period from twenty ten to twenty eleven, the ocean
dropped nine point one millimeters. By the way, that's about
the thickness of six pennies. Yep, six pennies. But here's

(01:34:06):
the kicker. Al Gore could have reminded us that adaptation
is feasible, but he didn't. Instead, he showed the consequences
of a wildly hypothetical twenty foot increase in sea level.
This was done with an alarmius video showing Manhattan, most
of Florida, of Beijing, Shanghai, and many other regions submerged

(01:34:29):
under the waves. At the current rate of sea level increase,
it will take one thousand, eight hundred years for the
ocean to go up another twenty feet.

Speaker 2 (01:34:40):
Now, this is kind of interesting.

Speaker 4 (01:34:44):
Biblical scholars estimate the Gospel of John was written roughly
nineteen hundred years ago, so there's no easily recognizable technological
marker to properly convey progress over the last eighteen hundred years. However,
if human ingenuity was sufficient to accident caused the ocean
to rise somewhat more over the past mere century or so,
then we have a lot of time left to develop

(01:35:06):
better and cheaper ways.

Speaker 2 (01:35:08):
To adapt to the process. Now.

Speaker 4 (01:35:10):
I just saw something yesterday that in the North Sea,
Brits are currently excavating an underwater village. It didn't used
to be underwater. It's not like we had fish people
back in the day. But this village was a village
until well the oceans rose and covered the village. Now,

(01:35:33):
we're pretty sure that all of the people in that
village did not stand there shocked and appalled as the
water slowly but surely, over eighteen hundred years rose up
over their heads.

Speaker 2 (01:35:44):
They adapted, they moved, they overcame.

Speaker 4 (01:35:49):
You know, we in Colorado have evidence of cultures that existed,
and now it's widely believed that they existed in Colorado
until the climate changed and the native peoples that were
living there migrated somewhere else to find a better quality
of life. So the notion that somehow we cannot adapt
an overcome is absolutely ridiculous. But don't let al Gore

(01:36:10):
stop there. Nope, absolutely not. Then we can talk about
renewable energy and CO two. In two thousand and six,
al Gore said, are we going to be left behind
as the rest of the world moves forward? All of
these nations have ratified the Kyoto Treaty.

Speaker 2 (01:36:31):
There are only two.

Speaker 4 (01:36:32):
Advanced nations in the world that have not ratified Kyoto.

Speaker 2 (01:36:35):
We are one of them. The other is Australia.

Speaker 4 (01:36:40):
Since two thousand and six, when al Gore spoke those
words through twenty twenty one, total US carbon emissions fell
by seventeen point three percent, roughly back to the American
carbon emissions of nineteen eighty eight, and I would say
in the years since our carbon emissions have dropped even further.
On a per capita basis, the decline was twenty six

(01:37:01):
point five percent, a bigger drop than what Germany accomplished,
and close to the European Union's twenty eight percent per
capita decline. Instead of left behind, we leaped ahead. It
was the fossil fuel industry that made it happen. Natural gas,
it emits half the carbon per unit of the energy
produced of coal.

Speaker 2 (01:37:22):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:37:22):
The reason that Europe has had so much success, although
now they're trying to unwind this is they leaned on
nuclear energy. So, you know, Al Gore again worried about
stuff that isn't going to happen. I really wish somebody
should go back and really do a video on all
this and break it all down. If I was so inclined,
i'd do it, but I'm not. I'm too lazy and

(01:37:43):
I don't know how to do that. It's just, you know, whatever.
But I thought it'd be fun to kind of review
how Al did how things turned out?

Speaker 2 (01:37:52):
One thing is for sure.

Speaker 4 (01:37:54):
Al Gore has made an absolute pantload of money, lots
and lots and lots of money running this scam.

Speaker 2 (01:38:06):
Hey, Rod, are you.

Speaker 4 (01:38:07):
Gonna get a side hustle with Ilitch's for fright Fest
this year? They're hiring scary people and you fit the bill. Oh,
I'm a little busy with what I do at thirteenth Floor?

Speaker 6 (01:38:13):
Am I not?

Speaker 4 (01:38:14):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:38:14):
Are you working with them again? I will be hitting
up their GM very soon. What's uh? Have you been
working on a theme at what?

Speaker 10 (01:38:25):
I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:38:25):
You know last year you were like the creepy clown? Like,
I mean, do you have an idea?

Speaker 2 (01:38:31):
I'm open to all possibilities this year. Want to see.
We'll see if you're going to be scary. You know
what was scary?

Speaker 4 (01:38:41):
Ryan Edwards and his first pitch not the Rockies game?

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
Very good?

Speaker 4 (01:38:45):
Okay, So we went to the Rockies game on Saturday night.
And you have to understand I have long been a
fan that even when I wasn't watching a lot of games,
I was paying attention you guys. I sat there and
watched and there were so many players that I had
never heard of before.

Speaker 2 (01:39:00):
On our team on the Rockies, Yeah, on our team.

Speaker 6 (01:39:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:39:04):
And it was just like, I've never heard of any
of these guys, not one. And all of the jerseys
that I saw at the game, most of which were
Cubs jerseys. It was a Cubs home game, one hundred
percent absolutely was Was.

Speaker 2 (01:39:15):
It Friday night too?

Speaker 6 (01:39:16):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:39:17):
There was not a single jersey that I saw of
a player that still is on the Rockies, even like
a Tovar. Nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:39:24):
Really.

Speaker 4 (01:39:24):
There was Chris bryan there was Aeronato. I saw Charlie Blackman.
I did not see a single jersey. I didn't see
a ton of Rockies jerseys. I probably saw maybe fifteen total.
Of that, eight of them were Chris Bryant jerseys.

Speaker 8 (01:39:39):
Well, listen, I mean you're you're not wrong, right, I
mean that's they've been calling up some guys, whether injury
or performance for otherwise. I mean, one thing that I
will give them credit for is get an opportunity to
see some of these like warming Burner Bernabelle. Right, see
a guy like that who actually had unbelievable week a
couple of.

Speaker 4 (01:39:58):
Weeks, he had a good outing in this game. He
came in an unfortunate situation, but he had a good
outing in this game. And there's a young pitcher. The
guy who pitched the starting pitcher's name I cannot remember
right now because it was the first time I heard.

Speaker 2 (01:40:10):
He's young. Yeah, he's not super young.

Speaker 4 (01:40:12):
He's twenty five, but he hasn't pitched in a lot
of majorling games because he had Tommy John surgery.

Speaker 2 (01:40:16):
He pitched very well.

Speaker 8 (01:40:17):
Yeah, So I mean, you had a chance to see
these guys. So the point is going to make is
you have a chance to see these guys. It's a
last season obviously, Yep, you've been eliminated for the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (01:40:23):
Don't you think it's beyond a last season?

Speaker 5 (01:40:25):
Though?

Speaker 4 (01:40:25):
I mean, this is the kind of season that, in
my mind, if I own the team, there would be
a massive shakeup after this. And that's not to say
there's not quality people in the organization, but coming off this.

Speaker 8 (01:40:39):
Year, I mean, we've had this debate on the show
a lot. It's historically the Rockies. It's not how they
do business.

Speaker 2 (01:40:49):
They tend to the.

Speaker 4 (01:40:50):
Rockies way is not winning well.

Speaker 8 (01:40:52):
Yeah, and so maybe this is an opportunity to take
a deeper dive and a look at what you're doing,
and maybe you make some changes, but you can't really
make changes wholesale, and you can't completely gut the roster,
right the roster.

Speaker 4 (01:41:03):
The roster, Yeah, you're talking about talking about the roster process.
Everybody that put the roster together. That's the unfortunate truth.
And I think there's the least likely to be fired
because I think Dick Monfort gets comfortable with people and
he likes them genuinely, and as long as he's comfortable
with those people, he is less likely to hold them
accountable for their performance.

Speaker 2 (01:41:24):
He's loyalty above a lot of things.

Speaker 4 (01:41:26):
Maybe they would offer a contract. And when mister Ryan Edwards,
that good, But you know what, Ryan, here's the thing.
When you throw the ball that slowly as you and
I do, you're going to get a strike just from
the confusion factor.

Speaker 2 (01:41:39):
Wow, okay, confusion.

Speaker 8 (01:41:42):
No.

Speaker 4 (01:41:42):
When I threw mine and I threw a strike similar
to yours, uh huh, the catcher actually said to me
that probably would have been a strike because nobody would
have believed that a ball going that slow could make
it over the plate.

Speaker 8 (01:41:54):
They maybe a little hate on yours that. I'm not
saying touch triple digits or anything like that. I mean
nobody's gonna accuse me of that. But at the same time,
I feel like I was, at least in the high
forties you threw the dotlet down saying don't don't be
shown up by a girl. You did a good job
and so yeah, so you did not collapse under pressure.

(01:42:15):
They actually had the head coach of Summit go up there. Yeah,
some soccer team and she pitched first. Yeah, and they
did some kind of crack similar to what you said
to me on the air of like, hey, don't let
her show you up.

Speaker 2 (01:42:26):
And I'm like, you know, she's an athlete, Like it's okay,
it's okay.

Speaker 4 (01:42:31):
You did fine, you did. Just find Ryan Edwards and
out It's time for the most exciting segment on the
radio on this guy in the world.

I've never never been certain friends that I will not
go in their homes because when you leave, you stink
of petruli so much like you can only wear barking
stocks after that, you're not allowed to. So I won't
go to their houses anymore because it's just like, dude,
