Mandy Connell joined by my right man, my right hand
man back in the saddle, Anthony Rodriguez, you can call
him a rock, and.

Speaker 4 (00:54):
Together we are going to make our way through a.

Speaker 5 (00:57):
Very busy broadcast day and coming up at twelve thirty,
my friend Cliff Made from the Foundation for the Defense
of Democracies is joining us. I reached out to him
this morning when it was reported that Israel had rolled
into Lebanon, but since then Iran has begun firing rockets
at Tel Aviv.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
And I just got a.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
Message from a friend of mine who said, are relative
of hers who is in Central Israel had just been
given the all clear to come out of the bomb shelter,
so this round of bombing appears to have stopped. Iran
says it was in response to the killing of the
leader of Hamas in Iran and the leading the killing
of Nassan Hasraala last weekend, the head of Hesbaalah, and

(01:39):
they are not going to fire any more rockets unless
Israel responds.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
We're going to get into that with Cliff in just
a few minutes. Come out of the weirdest Zoom problem?

Speaker 5 (01:51):
Can I just ask a technical zoom problem of my
listening audience and see if any of you can text
me the answer at five six six nine zero. When
I log into my Zoom account, and I have a
paid Zoom account, we use it all the time for
the show, and when I log in on my phone,
it shows my standard meetings that I have set up,
and I have a daily show meeting set up, so

(02:13):
during the show, I can just send that link to people,
and when I pull it up on my phone, all
of that shows up. When I pull it up on
the computer in order to send the Zoom link to
someone else, it's not there.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
It's just weird I mean, it's just weird, as in
the same link we send to everyone. Yes, it's not there,
but it's on my phone, but it's not on.

Speaker 6 (02:34):
The Well you need to be like me.

Speaker 7 (02:35):
I have a folder in my email that is literally
one email. In that folder, it's literally just as Zoom
and it's the Zoom link that I then keep easily
copy and paste in any other email.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Well, send that to me so I can send it
to Cliff. But I don't know if I can open
up the Zoom meeting today.

Speaker 4 (02:51):
Oh I can't phone.

Speaker 5 (02:52):
I can't on my phone. Don't worry about it. Yeah,
send me that email.

Speaker 6 (02:55):
So I can send that to a cliff Link.

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Weirdest thing, and then I'll try and figure that out
later today. But if you work for Zoom that week and.

Speaker 5 (05:53):
And we got a lot of stuff on the blog today.
I'm want to start with something out of Houston. Excuse me,
excuse me, El Paso, Texas. Ayron, if you could just
give me my audio for just a moment, just a second,
I would appreciate it. You ready, I just want to
play a breaking news from ABC seven in El Paso, Texas.

Speaker 9 (06:16):
Let's hear that we are in the ABC seven Alert
Center with breaking news. The Texas Department of Public Safety
is confirming to ABC seven that more than twenty suspected
Thren the Adagua gang members were arrested at the Gateway
Hotel in downtown al Paso. Texas Governor Greg Abbot designated
the gang as a terrorist organization on September sixteenth, calling

(06:38):
Al Passo quote ground zero for Thren the Adaguay activity.
A slide that was presented during his announcement featured documented
activity of the gang throughout Texas.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
Texas.

Speaker 9 (06:49):
DFPS provided information into ABC seven Thursday showing a large
concentration of arrests here in Opasso, including the March twenty
twenty four alleged vorder riot. Those arrested face various charges,
including human smuggling, prostitution, and.

Speaker 6 (07:04):
Possession of illegal drugs.

Speaker 9 (07:06):
Abbert Abbott rather offered a five thousand dollars reward for
any information on the suspected that then the Agua activity.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
That is amazing. And you know how they caught them.
They took over a hotel.

Speaker 10 (07:21):
M h.

Speaker 5 (07:23):
They took over the property. That's a crazy and breaking
news story for someone's imagination. Anyway, off to the races
today at twelve thirty, we're.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
Going to talk with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.
Is wait, let me try and say that Foundation for the.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
Defense of Democracies Cliff May should that be Democracy's apostrophe
as yes, because yes, I'm sorry. I had to do
a little grammar check there for myself. Cliff's gonna join us.
He's well up to speed on what's happening in the
Middle East. I have some questions about what's going on
over there, but I have to share you guys the
dumbest thing that I've seen in the longest time, and

(07:59):
it actually made me engage on this because I don't
know if I really explained to you when I lived
in Louisville, Kentucky. I worked for the station WHAS and
it's in Louisville, and for years, the sitting representative of
that area in Congress would come on the show and

(08:23):
so the hang on one second, I just spelled his
name wrong. So the sitting member of Congress when I
was there was a fellow named John Yarmouth, and John
Yarmouth and I tangled.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
Once a week he would come.

Speaker 5 (08:35):
On the show and it would be awful, and we
would argue and it just sometimes it got superheated and
it was awful. And then finally my boss was like,
I'm ending this because it's terrible radio. It's obviously you
guys hate each other. He referred to me in Louisville
as his weekly root canal. That's how much love we
had for each other. And since I left, I've given
him no thought. Even though he was chair of the

(08:56):
Budget Committee. He's now left office and someone else is
holding the seat.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
But he just tweeted out this.

Speaker 5 (09:03):
I can't shake the idea that Netanyahu instigated the Lebanese
offensive to create instability in the region and help Trump's campaign.
US leaders tried to stop him, but clearly we are
only a fair weather ally to bb y'all. That is literally,
if I were ever to curse on the radio, it
would be right now, because that is the best example

(09:26):
of dumb blankery that I have ever seen. You have Israel,
who was attacked on October seventh by a proxy of
Iran in Hamas. They have been I saw a guest
that one hundred thousand rockets have been fired into northern
Israel by Hesbula since.

Speaker 4 (09:44):
October eighth of last year, also a proxy of Iran.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
And in the last year, this is what Israel has
seen from their staunchest allies. They have seen protests across
college campuses where Jewish kids were chased into.

Speaker 4 (09:58):
Buildings that had to stay until someone could come get them.

Speaker 5 (10:01):
They've seen members of Congress display such wild anti Semitism
at the same time that our president has been issuing
edicts on how they're supposed to fight their war. Don't
you go into Rafa where Hamas is or they'll be
hell to pay. Well, guess what they did. They went
into Rafa and they absolutely neutered Hamas. So Israel's looking

(10:21):
at this, They're looking at all the criticism from around
the world. Everybody is saying Essentially, Israel, which was viciously
attacked by a murderous group of thugs on October seventh,
is the one that everyone's looking at and saying, well, aren't.

Speaker 4 (10:33):
They a problem? Look at Israel, Look at how they're
executing this war.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
They're not dropping enough leaflets telling people to leave cities
before they bomb them to destroy Hamas locations.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
So what does Israel have to lose right now. Nothing.
It's not like they're gonna lose standing in the world.

Speaker 5 (10:52):
They found out very clearly how the world feels about
Israel when they decided to defend themselves after the attacks
of October seventh. There's no doubt that they are on
their own. And the thought that any leader of Israel
would give a rats ass about Donald Trump getting elected
right this second, when they are still at war, is
the dumbest thing I have ever seen. And that man

(11:15):
John Yarmouth has set a lot of dumb crap in
the times that I've known him.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
But this is what Democrats do.

Speaker 5 (11:23):
They don't want to admit that this administration that they
have propped up, knowing.

Speaker 4 (11:26):
That Joe Biden has addled.

Speaker 5 (11:28):
They don't want to admit that every foreign policy decision
they have made has been wrong. And more importantly, they
don't want to admit that Israel seems to have made
a decision that.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
They are done with these little pissant.

Speaker 5 (11:41):
Wars every for years with Hesbla or Hamas or whoever,
and they are going to lop the head off of
the snake. And if you don't believe me, benjaminette Yahu
made some statements like, you know what, won't be long
before regime change in Iran, and then the Persian people
in Iran can coexist with the Israelis after regime change.

(12:04):
So Iran filres tons of rockets. Now here are my questions,
and I'm going to ask clift these in just a
few minutes. The US notified Israel of an impending attack
five hours before the attack. Now it is my understanding,
and maybe if you're a weapons expert you can clarify this.
It takes, from what I understand, about two hours for

(12:25):
the kind of missiles that Iran just fired at Israel
to get from Iran to Israel.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
Okay, it takes about two hours.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
So the United States five hours prior to the attack
notified Israel that an attack was imminent.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
How did the United States know. That's question number one.
I have a theory.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
My theory is that the Iranians are using backdoor channels
to the United States because the Iranians do not want
a bigger war with Israel, but they could not do nothing,
so in order to prevent damage that would force Israel
to respond in kN Iran reached out to the US
through whatever channels they have established. And I believe that

(13:05):
all governments have back channels, no matter how much animosity
do they have to to each other publicly, with maybe
the exception of like North Korean, those crazy outliers like that.
I think there's a back channels between all of these countries.
And I think they called the US knowing they would
call Israel because they wanted Israel to be ready to
knock down as many of these.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
Rockets as they can, because the last thing Aron wants
is to get into a hot war right now with Israel.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
And that is what Israel is itching for because they
know as long as Iran is allowed to stand as
it is now, they will never have peace in Israel.
They will never be allowed to live without rockets being
fired at them. From somewhere, I got an email from
someone yesterday and I said, look, you need to do

(13:50):
a little end of the study into the history of
the Israeli Arab situation there. And they came back and said, well,
I did a little reading, but I think Israel should
go it alone.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Why shouldn't they. Here's why, here's why Israel matters. Number one, Iran.
They don't just chant death to Israel.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
They chant death to Israel, death to America, death to
the Great Satan.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
We're the great Satan. As long as they're focused on Israel,
they're not focused on us. And I truly believe that. Secondarily,
the Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
They're the only place where people, including Arab Muslims, live freely, truly,
free to move about the country to love who they

(14:33):
want to worship the way they want to.

Speaker 5 (14:35):
They move freely about the country. The people that are
law abiding citizens in Israel, and we should protect that
because as soon as the entire Middle East falls to
the Islamic Caliphate, and that is the endgame of Ron,
then the next thing they come after is us. So
if you don't think Israel is important, look at it
as nothing more than a stop gap that keeps us

(14:58):
out of a extended battle with Ran somewhere, they would
prefer it to be here.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
I would prefer it to be there.

Speaker 5 (15:06):
Not to measure the fact that I have family members
who's live in Tel Aviv, so they were probably in
their bomb shelter with their little children today.

Speaker 4 (15:14):
That's a great way for somebody to live. I just
don't think it's right.

Speaker 5 (15:18):
And then one more issue about Israel than everybody else
who you know what, maybe you're not a Christian, maybe
you don't care, but there are so many Christian holy
sites in Israel that are protected and cared for by
the Jews, and I just don't trust the Arabs to
do the same.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
I just don't. They don't even take care of their
own stuff, so why would they take care of mine.

Speaker 5 (15:40):
So there's a lot of reasons to care about Israel,
and hopefully we'll see.

Speaker 4 (15:45):
What happens next. But if I'm Benjamin Nett Nawhu, I'm not.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Listening to anybody, because why would you what's the point.
You're going to be hated, you're going to be loathed,
you're going to be disdained, you're going to have people
marching against you all.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
Over the world. You may as well not be dead
while they're doing that.

Speaker 5 (16:02):
Right again, just like I said yesterday, in World War Two,
nobody came to save the Jews until six million of
them were dead.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
They remember that.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
They're not waiting for that again. They're gonna do what
needs to be done, and they're going to be aggressive
from this point forward because the Biden administration obviously has
zero impact on what's happening in Israel right now. I
mean I kind of jokingly said yesterday that I just
picture Benjamin net Yahoos just like giving the double birds

(16:35):
to the Biden administration, like standing on a balcony, like
take this, Joe, because that's what I would do when
we get back.

Speaker 4 (16:41):
Well, here from a guy who studies this even more
closely than.

Speaker 5 (16:44):
I do, Cliff may with a Foundation for the Defense
of Democracies coming up next. He is a familiar voice
too many of you here on KOWA. He's Cliff May.
So Cliff and Irt we're just talking off the air
about my theory that the Iranians back channeled the warning
to the United States that missiles were coming at Israel,
so the US would warn Israel so they would be

(17:05):
prepared iron dome it up, send their people to bomb
shelters as they did, just because Iran wanted to be
seen as strong by launching this attack, but they didn't
actually want to do enough damage that Israel would want
to respond forcefully. And you say, maybe, but maybe notne.

Speaker 10 (17:25):
Okay, Well, so look, I think it's a smart theory
and it makes a lot of sense. On the other hand,
if the for the regime to launch two hundred ballistic
missiles and not kill a single Israeli with them only
one Palestini in the West Bank who was hit by Shrapman,
we understand so far down full accounting.

Speaker 11 (17:48):
That's a bit of a humiliation.

Speaker 10 (17:49):
On the other hand, certainly they want to show that
we're responding to what the Israelis are doing. They said,
we're doing this because of the killing of Hastran and
Nostrala in his bunker and a route the killing of
a small Hania of Hamas who was killed in Tehran
in a guest house, and so they can show that
and they don't want the Israelis to hit back because

(18:10):
one of the things they are doing and doing successfully,
and they're doing so with funds that have been allowed
by the Biden administration. They're they're developing nuclear weapons and
the missiles to deliver them, not just to Israel, but
in ICBMs inter.

Speaker 11 (18:27):
Continentalistic missiles anywhere in the world.

Speaker 10 (18:30):
And they must be worried that the Israelis will siddly
set back that program. Or if I were the Israelis,
I'd also consider hittering karg Island, which would make it
virtually impossible, certainly difficult for the for the regime to
export oil. I think I cannot believe the Israelis, even
if they're being told by the Biden administration, take the wind,

(18:51):
take the wind, don't do anything more.

Speaker 11 (18:52):
This is the end of it. We don't want to escalate.
Hard for me to believe that they that they will
not do something fairly significant.

Speaker 10 (18:59):
In response to this, Daniel Hagari, the Idea of spokesman,
has said that plans are underway, but they're all trying
to think as strategically as they can. And that's what
you're doing, Mandy. You're trying to think strategically.

Speaker 5 (19:12):
Well, I mean, this is this is this is kind
of a new frontier in my lifetime or in recent
last twenty five years with Israel, because Israel has always
been able to count on the United States to have
just kind of unequivocal support, at least publicly.

Speaker 10 (19:28):
Right.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Maybe there's some shenanigans behind the scenes, but the US
government has been a staunch ally of Israel for a
very long time now, for the last twenty years or so.
So now after this last year cliff of anti Semitic
you know, protests on campus, anti Semitic members of Congress,
anti Semitism rising all over the world, do you think
Israel has just gone, you know what, They're gonna hate

(19:49):
us anyway, We're going to take care of business and
we don't really give a ratsass what you have to say.

Speaker 10 (19:55):
Well, I think that's true in as far as when
Israel thinks of what we call the international community, you know,
the UN, UN Secretary General Guteris, or the quote unquote
human rights organizations or a lot of people in the media.

Speaker 11 (20:11):
They don't like us. They won't like us if we
don't do anything, maybe they'll pity us. We don't really
want their pity. We'll do what we have to do.

Speaker 10 (20:19):
I would say the Obama administration was at best ambivalent
about Israel. After at the end of his second term,
President Obama, through the UN really stabbed Israel in the back.
I can talk about how they did that. They did
give assistance to Israel in terms of selling them weapons
of war and providing a lot of military assistance. No question,

(20:43):
I listen to the Israelis still do require. I mean
there's really by their munitions and their interceptors that knock
down all these missiles from rent, a lot of them
from the US, and the US I think should be
an arsenal for democracies. When we have allies fighting common enemies,
we should help them do that, especially if it means

(21:04):
no US boots on the ground, no US lives at risk.
But this regime in Iran, and as you know, I
was a reporter there in nineteen seventy nine during the
Islamic Revolution, death to America and death to Israel has
been their mantra over all these years.

Speaker 11 (21:21):
Israel is closer and an easier easier to take down,
and the supreme.

Speaker 10 (21:27):
Leader since nineteen eighty nine, al kama He has had
a very clever strategy.

Speaker 11 (21:32):
It's enough.

Speaker 10 (21:33):
Up to now it's been to not fight the Israelis directly,
but to use Arab pawns to establish what they call
a ring of fire around Israel. Hamas Haswa, the huthis
Shea militias in Syria and Iraq.

Speaker 11 (21:48):
That was the idea that they don't have to fight,
that they can say what do we know?

Speaker 10 (21:52):
And meanwhile there they have these foreign legions establishing essentially
their empire and also doing what they want to do,
which is what which is genocide, which is to destroy
Israel and exterminate israelis not just Jews, but those Jews
are Jason. Very interesting that these missiles today they were

(22:13):
targeted at Jerusalem. Yeah, well, this is a very large
Arab Muslim population in Jerusalem, and there's some fairly significant
moss like Alexa in Jerusalem.

Speaker 11 (22:23):
None of that seemed to matter to these guys. So
that's what that's the larger picture.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
Let me just ask this this kind of question, because
I think to your point about Iran never really wanting
to get into an actual hot war with Israel, I
think that there is and I have this from you know,
friends and people that I.

Speaker 4 (22:44):
Know in Israel.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
The attitude of the Israelis at this moment in time,
and of course it's not speaking for everyone, is that
this is the war, this is the this is the
last time we're going to do this, and the only
way you can say that is to incapacitate a moss check,
incapacitate the leadership of hazbla check, and incapacitate Iran's ability

(23:08):
to rearm, refund and rebuild these terror organizations. Do you
think that that is the end game? Do you think
that is the mission that they are looking at?

Speaker 4 (23:17):
Regime change?

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Bib said yesterday, regime change could come to Iran sooner
than you think. If that's not a veiled threat, I
don't know what is.

Speaker 11 (23:28):
So I think you're right.

Speaker 10 (23:30):
Keep in mind that what most is at least do
you understand, is that this is an existential war. In
other words, Israel's existence is at risk. You know, the
US can capitulate to the Taliban and go home. The
US can lose in Vietnam and go home. Israel can't
lose a war or it'll be a second Holocaust in

(23:51):
less than a century.

Speaker 11 (23:52):
We saw what we saw on ten seven.

Speaker 10 (23:54):
A year ago, was what Hamas and others want to
do to Israelis. They want to kill them, rape them,
burn the babies. That's what we're talking about. The Israelis
can't so that, I would say also to be fait.
The Israelis haven't had a clear strategy in response to
what I've just described as Kamani strategy of the Ring
of Fire. It's all been about always just need to

(24:16):
mold the lawn occasionally, so you get missiles from Amas
and Gaza, and you strike back at a very targeted
you don't try, try not to do too much damage,
and then you get what the Israelis always call quiet
for a while, that's no longer sufficient. I think they
understand that, so yes, they have to do something about
the Ring of fire. And yes, hamas is In is

(24:38):
close to being destroyed. It's no longer a military force.
It's now an insurgency hez Wela. They have done significant
damage because they've knocked off not just Hassan in Estrala,
but almost all his deputies. You're down to pretty much
very junior vice president levels. What you do about Iran
is much harder. But yes, I think they believe now

(25:00):
and I think they didn't before, that we do need
a strategy to make sure that at the very least
that this regime, which is genocidal, which is an ill imperialist,
cannot succeed in developing nuclear weapons that they could use
against us. We are a one bomb country, and even
if they didn't use the bomb, they'd have that nuclear
umbrella over there, various proxies and foreign legions.

Speaker 11 (25:24):
And so something has to be done about that. And
again I don't know for sure, but I would imagine
after today.

Speaker 10 (25:31):
They may think we've got now, we've now got a
good excuse to say, you know, we have to respond
to this. We may not get another excuse like this
for a while. We have to do some significant damage
to this regime in some way. And again, to me,
that probably means either something that delays the development of
nuclear weapons or really constrains the regime economically, such as

(25:55):
hitting oil. They may be thinking other things too.

Speaker 11 (25:59):
I've had is very high ISRAELI say to me, Cliffed.

Speaker 10 (26:02):
At anytime we do something and people like you say, yeah,
that's what I thought they'd do, we have failed.

Speaker 11 (26:07):
It has to happen. Is people like you said, oh god,
I never thought that way.

Speaker 10 (26:10):
They're using exec and people's belf never thought of that.

Speaker 11 (26:15):
That's when you know we've done that.

Speaker 5 (26:17):
We've done it right, all right, let me ask you
one last question. It's a long question, but I don't
have a lot of time, So I'm gonna ask you
to be succinct. Here two text messages totally different but
very much the same. This one says no, Israel does
not exist without US support, and another Texter said, uh,
we should just let Israel.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Go it alone. Why are those wrong?

Speaker 10 (26:39):
Well, if you if there are plenty of people who
would like to see millions of Jews murdered again like
they were in World War Two, It's true, you can't
kill an idea, and the Nazi idea is still around.
It's it's it's been transformed into a jihadist.

Speaker 11 (26:55):
Idea now, and that may be what they want. I
think that there are free countries, democracies where the leader
of the free world we should be. We don't want
to give up that.

Speaker 10 (27:05):
But I don't think we want to stop being the
leader of a free world, even if it's a shrunken
free world. I think we support people. It makes sense.
It was a Reagan policy. You support allies fighting common enemies.
You don't want those common enemies to prevail. That's pretty simple.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yep. Could Israel survive without our support?

Speaker 11 (27:28):
Yes?

Speaker 6 (27:28):
I mean what they need.

Speaker 10 (27:30):
Our support is important, particularly because they don't have the
weapons industry that we have, and we don't have the
weapons industry we should have the defense industrial conflicts we
need and our allies need. We has been shrinking for years.
We've now woken up to that. We're starting.

Speaker 11 (27:48):
But you know, they listen, they can do a lot.

Speaker 10 (27:51):
In nineteen forty eight they had the Israelis prevailed against
all the Arab nations around them, even though they had no.

Speaker 11 (27:58):
In support, including the US support.

Speaker 10 (28:00):
In nineteen sixty seven, they were attacked another war that
was meant to wipe them off the face of the earth.

Speaker 11 (28:05):
They got American support put kind of latedly on that.
Nineteen seventy three, the same thing.

Speaker 10 (28:10):
American support is very helpful to any nation under attack,
especially when you've got an access of aggressors China, Russia, Tehran, Venezuela, Cuba,
North Korea. Very helpful to have the US on your side,
no question about it. It's still a superpower. I think
it should be more of a superpower than it is.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
That's Cliff May with the Foundation for the Defensive Democracies.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Cliff A. Joy is always to see you and hopefully
we'll talk again soon. My pleasure to be with you, Mandy,
all Right, thanks, Cliff, will be right back.

Speaker 5 (28:40):
A friend of mine just sent me a series of
text messages she got from her cousin who lives in
central Israel, and this is what it says. They've been
shooting rockets at us for a year, burning the north
people living in a war zone for so long. They
literally targeted children while they were playing soccer and managed

(29:01):
to kill twelve of them. Didn't hear mccron asking for
a ceasefire? Then there are tens of thousands of people
living away from home for a whole year, many of
which have no homes to return to. Finally, when we
decide enough is enough, the world wakes up and asks
for a ceasefire. Where the hell were they until now?
That pisses me off big time, biggest hypocrisy ever. Like

(29:21):
any other country in the world would be willing to
tolerate this absurdity. They would have been wiped out twelve
months ago. But the Jews should just put their heads
down and endure. We should kick their asses and never
let them return anywhere near the border and make them
live their villages and then burn down every village within
fifteen kilometers from our border, So no Israeli kids should

(29:42):
ever have to run for shelter in their life again,
and the blanking world should shove it. That's my humble
opinion that from a woman living in Israel, and I
say it all the time. We can't even begin to
understand what israelis, what their daily lives are. We would
in no way tolerate any of it in the United States.

(30:04):
And yet we're going to sit over here and try
to tell people over there what they need to do
to execute this war. So that is that if anything
pops up, then we need to know. But apparently the
strike and thank you to Brett for sharing with me
a story about how fast the rockets got there. And

(30:26):
I thought they were the same kind of missiles that
they fired the last time, but they were not. These
were missiles that arrived in twelve to fifteen minutes. So
part of my theory that they gave us a heads
up so we could give Israel heads up, that's not
as important, I guess, yeah, if they knew they were

(30:48):
coming five hours early. At least six israe leased by
the way, we're killed in a shooting near the lightrail
and Jaffa shortly before the missile attack began. Two gunmen
were neutralized, which means they were killed the IDF, so
there you go. The military wasn't aware of any casualties.
Cliff just said that one Palestinian man was killed by

(31:09):
falling shrapnel. While a large number of the missiles were intercepted.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
There were impacts in the central and southern regions that
includes Tel Aviv. So they fired AROW three ballistic missiles,
they fired Aro two missiles and some other stuff as well.
So there you go. So we'll give you updates if
anything else happens. But in the meantime we're going to

(31:35):
talk about some other stuff that is Oh, I got
to do one more story really quick.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
I don't need to spend a lot of time on this,
but listen to this. So the former president of Iran
I mentioned this yesterday, but now I have the story
of the blog today and it's so good.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
So the former president of Iran was.

Speaker 5 (31:48):
Talking to CNN Turkey and said the following Israel organize
complex operations inside Iran. They could easily obtain information in Iran.
They are still silent about this. The man who was
in charge of the unit in Iran against Israel was
an Israeli agent and he, according to a Monadajade, was

(32:09):
not the only one besides the head of the Iranian
intelligence unit.

Speaker 4 (32:13):
Another twenty members of that unit turned out to be
Massad agents.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
A Monadajad claimed that they were the ones who managed
to steal the Iranian nuclear documents in twenty eighteen and
were also responsible for the elimination of Iranian nuclear scientists.

Speaker 4 (32:30):
And with that, I laughed, and I laughed and I laughed.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
When we get back, there's a debate tonight, Vice Presidential.
I want to get your predictions on what you think
is going to happen tonight.

Speaker 4 (32:41):
We're going to do that next.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Bell and Pollock
Accident and injury Lawyers.

Speaker 6 (32:47):
No, it's Mandy Connell and Dona.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Ninety FM. SAA God.

Speaker 3 (33:00):
He can the nicety through free They Connell keeping really
sad thing.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show.
I'm here, A Rod's here, and we're gonna take you
right up until three o'clock when Kaawa Sports takes over.
First of all, can we just talk about the death
of John Amos for a moment. When I was a kid,
I came home from school I watched General Hospital, and
then right after that Good Times was.

Speaker 4 (33:30):
On, and Good Times was such a great show. And
you know, as a kid, I'm like, this is what
it's like to live in the projects. Of course it's not,
because nothing on TV is quite right. But I loved him.

Speaker 5 (33:45):
He was like the dad you always wanted, who could
be super mean and super stern, but he also you
knew he loved you, right. So John Amos has passed away.
He's been in the news as of late because.

Speaker 6 (33:58):
One of his.

Speaker 5 (34:00):
Children, nieces nephews someone who's accusing someone else of elder
abuse and he had to come out and say no,
it's all good, which is weird. But he has passed away.
So people are dropping like flies, you guys, They're dropping
like flies.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
So we shall continue to report celebrities that are dropping
like flies. It's a big, big time for that, apparently.

Speaker 5 (34:23):
But rest in peace, mister Amos, and I hope his
family is comforted by his memory. So I want to
ask you, guys, tonight is the Tim Walls jd Vance debate,
and I wanted to give you the opportunity to sort
of weigh in via the Common Spirit Health text line
about what you First of all, I won't know if
you're gonna watch it. We're not doing a Kawa cast tonight,

(34:43):
so I will be live tweeting on x AT at
Mandy Connell. I actually love live tweeting these debates because
I can be snarky fast and I don't have to
actually interrupt what they're saying. I can just type it
out really quickly bya boom by to bings. So follow
on Twitter for all of that, But I got the hiccups.

Speaker 7 (35:05):
Hang on.

Speaker 5 (35:07):
Trying to swallow my hiccups, and I think it's working.
So in any case, I'm sorry. Text messages are popping up.
I'm easily distracted. I'm watching rockets flying to Tel Aviv
on TV, and I know, I know, I know, So
I want to ask you, first of all, if you're
gonna watch it. That's one thing. I am of the

(35:28):
mindset that I don't think anybody votes for or against
a vice presidential candidate.

Speaker 4 (35:33):
I just don't.

Speaker 5 (35:35):
So I don't think this is going to be a
game changer in any real respect. But the person who
has the most to gain in this debate is jd Vance.

Speaker 4 (35:46):
And here's why.

Speaker 5 (35:47):
Jd Vance I think has been treated very unfairly by
the news media, and.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
I think that they are.

Speaker 5 (35:56):
Going to see people are going to see JDV answer.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
For themselves tonight.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
He's very good at articulating policy positions, He's very good
in a situation like a debate, and I think he's
going to have a very strong performance against Tim Walls.
Tim Walls, on the other hand, has the most to
lose because Tim Walls is part of the joy ticket right,
Oh my gosh, how Joy fall. He's Kamala Harris's emotional

(36:21):
support animal, as we saw from her first interview where
she had to have Tim there even though nobody really
cared what.

Speaker 4 (36:25):
Tim had to say.

Speaker 5 (36:27):
So he has a lot to lose because he has
been protected by the news media from any real criticism.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
A couple things have come out today.

Speaker 5 (36:34):
Obviously the situation in Israel is going to be asked
about because this is significant. And I saw a very
interesting post on X from some guy.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
I don't even know who the guy is.

Speaker 5 (36:46):
It was just one of those things that caught my
eye and I have no idea who the guy was
that wrote it, but he said, here is something that
is going to be very unpopular, but it ran sending
ballistic missiles into Israel has changed the calculus for this guy.
He was a pair going to sit out the presidential election,
but now he said, I need to know who is
going to have Israel's back to make sure that Iron

(37:08):
doesn't send ballistic missiles our way. And I think that's
a very interesting point.

Speaker 4 (37:14):
So now they are this could be for some people
a game changer.

Speaker 5 (37:23):
There's no question that the Biden Harris administration has been
an abject disaster when it comes to foreign policy, and
they don't have any good answers. A new thing came
out today. Apparently Tim Walls, when he was in Congress,
spent a good bit of time waxing poetic about that
time when he was in Tienamen Square in China when

(37:44):
the Chinese government killed a bunch of activists in Tianamen Square.
But apparently it turns out he was not there. So
is he going to be asked about that tonight? CBS
has said they're not going to be fact checking, same format,
no audience, The mics will be hot the entire time.
I don't think that's a big deal with these two.
That's a much bigger deal when it is Donald Trump.

(38:05):
It's not a big deal without Donald Trump, So it's
gonna be I don't know, it's gonna be interesting. Aros
Kamenski calls him the weakest VP choice in the history
of America. I don't think that's accurate. One could argue
that dan Quayle fit that category.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
Dan Quaile was.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
Such a non factor that when he misspelled potato, it
was the biggest story. And he didn't misspell it by
the way, he went with an alternate spelling. It was
the biggest news story because there was nothing else about
dan Quayle that was particularly notable. At least Jade Vance
has an interesting story behind him.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
Mandy Vance more.

Speaker 5 (38:41):
Than holds his own on the Sunday shows with adverse
conditions over the past few months, I could see walls
falling on his face. Given he has had one interview
jointly with Kamala on CNN. We're gonna have to wait
and see. CBS I just said, is not going to
fact check the candidates. They're going to rely on the
other candidate to do the fact checking, which is what
should happen in a debate.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
Mandy, I'll definitely watch tonight.

Speaker 5 (39:05):
People say vps aren't gonna make a difference, but I
think Vance is important because Trump isn't exactly a young guy.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
Plus he seems to have a target on his forehead. Yeah,
a little bit there, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
Historically, for me, the VP debate shows how a potus
can communicate and lead to a subordinate based on how
the VP can communicate the policy.

Speaker 4 (39:27):
Mandy. I hope jd.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
Vance hands a copy of Hillbilly Elogy to mister Waltz
at the beginning of the debate. That would be kind
of funny, Mandy. I'll definitely watch tonight. People say vps
aren't going to make a difference.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
But I think Vance is important. Oh wait a minute,
I just read that.

Speaker 5 (39:41):
I'm so sorry not watching, not watching, and I'm pissed
that Republicans keep agreeing to these debates on hostile networks.
No mystery signs theater three thousand me no watchy debates.
So sorry about that. Sorry about that, Mandy. I hate
to be dark and go there. But maybe vice residential
debates matter a bit more since everybody keeps taking potshots

(40:03):
at Trump.

Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yes, yes, indeedy and.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
A debate predictions walls will avoid answering any questions in
advance will be attacked by the moderators. So we've got
two moderators, Nora O'Donnell and Margaret Brennanan Brennanman Brennan. Margaret Brennan,
brennanman is Amy Brennan, the actress, Margaret Brennan, the the
CBS anchor person for Meet the Press Brennan. Yes, I

(40:30):
just I got Amy Brennan on the mind from watching
The Old Man. Are you watching The Old Man on
FX yet? No, we talked a little bit about it yesterday.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
You must watch it. You must watch that. You must
watch Telsea now I know you Spooky Season. Oh sorry,
I didn't mean it. Are of spooky season with you?

Speaker 7 (40:46):
Come on.

Speaker 4 (40:48):
I'd love to know what would have.

Speaker 5 (40:51):
To happen tonight to make you feel like that is
going to be a difference maker, because I can't imagine
anything that what happened to My expectations are pretty much
set at this point.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
I am not a persuadable voter.

Speaker 5 (41:07):
My view is that Kamala Harris will be an extension
of the Biden administration, and the Biden administration has not.

Speaker 4 (41:13):
Been good in my view.

Speaker 5 (41:15):
You know what's killing me lately, and I don't understand
it because no one asked the following questions.

Speaker 4 (41:19):
Everybody on the left on news media, they keep saying
things like, Joe Biden's been such a consequential president.

Speaker 6 (41:26):
How in what way?

Speaker 5 (41:29):
Other than the fact that he allowed millions and millions
and millions of people to walk over the southern border unfettered.
What has been consequential about the Biden administration other than
the fact that he was literally stabbed in the back
by his own party and shoved out of the presidential
race after the primary votes had already been cast. What
makes it a consequential president? He's been an amazing president.

(41:52):
How has he been amazing? Pete food Edge.

Speaker 4 (41:56):
Edge tweeted out something the other day about we passed
the inflation Reduction acted. Inflation has come down. I'm like,
you can't be.

Speaker 5 (42:02):
That much of a dumbass that you don't realize it
was the FED contracting the money supply that brought inflation down.

Speaker 4 (42:10):
You can't be that stupid. But then I think to myself,
maybe he is. I don't know. He did not respond
to my tweet of that. ILK. I'm not waiting for
a response.

Speaker 5 (42:23):
Kamala says, says this Texter that you will be a
President for all Americans unless you watch Fox. That's so
funny you said it that way because I was listening.
I was reading some of the stuff about Jenna Griswold,
our secretary of State. And you know, secretary of state
is one of those offices that should never be hyperpartisan,
because the secretary of State is in charge of letting

(42:44):
every Colorado know that the elections are secure. And Ross
did an interview with a woman talking about election security
before you know, during his show, and I thought to myself, like,
Jenna Griswold apparently only wants to be secretary of State
for Democrats in Colorado. Because the secretary of state, in

(43:04):
my mind, it should go like this. Say I'm the
secretary of State, a job I would never want. But
say I'm the secretary of State. I am a right leader, right,
and a Democrat comes to me and says, hey, Secretary
of State, lady, we think we have some issues. The
issues that Heidegan all talked about yesterday were potentially these
machines could be hacked and we're worried about that. If

(43:25):
I'm the secretary of State in a completely nonpartisan way,
I say, you know what, good point, Let's look into it.
Let's see if there's an easy fix. Come along with
me while we take care of it. I fling open
the doors of transparency because my job is to convince
Coloradin's that everything is safe because it is.

Speaker 4 (43:46):
And this is the same thing.

Speaker 5 (43:47):
It's like, yeah, Kamala Heris wants to be president for everyone,
as long as you're on the left, Mandy, don't you
know it's fake news. They are only trying to rally
their people. They have an agenda, and I'm waiting for
someone on the radio to talk about what their endgame
is for with all what all this chaos is in
the country, you know, respectfully, like, what are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (44:10):
What are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (44:13):
My thing with the overall democratic strategy over the last
few years, and by the way, I have a story
on the blog that proves how successful it's been is
to get more and more people dependent on the government,
because if people are dependent on the government, then you
can control their votes. And it goes something like this.
Think about all of the times that someone in a

(44:35):
campaign looked across the isle at a Republican and said
that person is going to take away your Social Security
and Medicare benefits, and it becomes.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
A campaign tool.

Speaker 5 (44:44):
Right, So if you have more and more Americans reliant
on government aid, then it's easy to say that candidate
is going to take away what you have, and it
becomes an easy way to manipulate the masses. And you know,
many years ago, someone very much smarter than and he said,
you know, representative democracy is great until people understand that

(45:06):
they can vote themselves the treasury.

Speaker 4 (45:08):
And then it's over.

Speaker 5 (45:10):
Well, now we have people that are bolden to the
government at levels never seen in the United States before.
The Wall Street Journal did a very interesting analysis with
these cool infographics. But let me just read to you
about how many people are on government aid. The first
little map, it shows little tiny pockets of the United

(45:32):
States where people got more than twenty five percent of
their personal income from government assistance, meaning that twenty five
percent of the money that people have came from the government.
In nineteen seventy, fewer than one percent of America's counties
had a twenty five percent of the people or excuse me,

(45:54):
had people getting twenty five percent or more from the
government when it comes to their income. We're in the
most distressed economically, places like Appalachia and West Virginia and Kentucky,
pockets of Oklahoma, pockets of Colorado.

Speaker 4 (46:08):
Down south New Mexico, very very few, fewer than one percent.

Speaker 5 (46:13):
Fast forward to two thousand, roughly one in ten counties
drew a significant share of their income from federal and
state safety net and social program So now we're up
to ten percent.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
Of the United States ten percent.

Speaker 5 (46:32):
This is partly because America is getting older, and it
counts people on Medicare and people on Social Security in
these numbers, so there's a solid reason for that. But
then we jumped to twenty twenty two, more than half
of all US counties drew at least a quarter of
their income from government aid, and the.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
Map has exploded. The map is massive now.

Speaker 5 (46:56):
The Wall Street Journal says, why do we have this
dramatic growth? A much larger share of Americans are seniors,
and their healthcare costs have risen. At the same time,
many communities have suffered from economic decline because of challenges
including the loss of manufacturing, leaving government money as a
larger share of people's incomes.

Speaker 4 (47:14):
In such places.

Speaker 5 (47:16):
The Organization that puts Us Together used a government definition
of income that includes spending on programs that Americans pay
into such as Medicare and Social Security. Another major government
health program, Medicaid, is also counted. The analysis also included
unemployment insurance, food stamps, the Earned Income Tax Credit, veterans benefits,

(47:36):
PELL grants, COVID era payments, and other income support.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
States helped to pay for some of.

Speaker 5 (47:41):
These programs, such as Medicaid, but the federal government covers
roughly seventy percent of the total cost. Now, let me
ask you this. I've been talking about the debt bomb
that I see coming. Our debt is rapidly getting out
of control. We're now paying over a trillion dollars a
year just in interest payments on our debt. What happens

(48:03):
if we have a true debt crisis in the United
States where the federal government can no longer borrow money
and the federal government can no longer well spend the money. Now,
what I think what happened at that point is that
they were just hyperinflating our currency and all of these
people that are relying on government large to live would

(48:25):
then be living well below the poverty line because the
government doesn't keep up with the rate of inflation. When
you hit hyperinflation, which is likely what would happen. That's
what happens in countries when they run out of the
ability to borrow other money.

Speaker 4 (48:37):
From other people.

Speaker 5 (48:39):
So this story is very, very interesting, and to me
it shows a great strategy. Democrats have done a great job.
And the most interesting part of this whole thing. You
guys counties with significant government assistance by each year's presidential winner,
and I'm just going to do in twenty twenty. In

(49:00):
twenty twenty, two hundred and fifty of those counties went
for Democrats. Another seventeen hundred and fifty went for Republicans.
So the same people that are voting for smaller government
are the people that are getting more income from the
government at the same time.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
I mean, that's some irony right there. That's some real,
real irony.

Speaker 5 (49:26):
About seventy percent of counties in Michigan, Georgia, and North
Carolina are significantly reliant on government income. So are nearly
sixty percent of counties in Pennsylvania. In Arizona, thirteen to
fifteen counties are heavily reliant on safety net income. So
it's a fascinating article.

Speaker 4 (49:44):
It is Paywalld.

Speaker 5 (49:45):
I'm sorry about that. I tried to get a free
link and it didn't work. I just found out, so
you might be able to get the free link to work.
Maybe my it grabbed my my ISP address.

Speaker 4 (49:55):
I don't know. Mandy, Biden helped broker the Russian prisoner
exchange infrastructure. I don't know what that means, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (50:04):
I know a multi millionaire who's an electrical contract Journey
makes ninety percent of his money off government contracts, so
I'd consider him to kind of be on the government
doll too. At least he's providing a service for the government,
you know what I mean. And don't get me wrong,
I'm not mad at people on Social Security. I'm not
mad at people on Medicare. They did pay into those
programs for many, many years. I'm mad at the federal

(50:26):
government for squandering all the money. Because if the federal
government had just invested the money that we've been paying
into Social Security, we'd all have way more money than
we have right now in Social Security.

Speaker 4 (50:39):
We wouldn't be facing the potential.

Speaker 5 (50:43):
Benefit cuts in twenty thirty twenty thirty five when Social
Security runs out of money. So yeah, anyway, Hey, Mandy,
what is your take on Caraveo? Her commercials seem to
play right into Republican hands. They talk about common sense
Colorado and how she voted with Republicans for more vote
border agents, and she voted for Republicans to be.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
Harder on fentanyl. So I say, why not just vote Republican.

Speaker 5 (51:09):
I'm guessing that the polling data from inside Yadira Caraveo's
campaign shows that Gabe Evans is leading. So Yaderra Caraveo,
who was an absolute progressive when she was in the
Colorado Legislature, is now pretending to be a Republican. She's
not talking about all the times that she voted with
Democrats during her two years as the representative for that district.

Speaker 4 (51:34):
You know, I don't know Yadira Caraveo.

Speaker 5 (51:36):
I'm not going to cast dispersions on her character in
any way, shape or form. She's doing what many politicians
have done before her, and that is pretend to be
someone you are.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
Not to get elected now. She has voted with Republicans
on several issues.

Speaker 5 (51:50):
She voted to condemn Kamala Harris for the job she
did as borders are But she's not a Republican. And
my guess is is that either she gets more comfortable
and starts to vote with Democrats or I.

Speaker 4 (52:03):
Mean, have her values changed. I don't know. But again
I don't know her.

Speaker 5 (52:10):
I don't know anything about her character, the kind of
person she is. She's just trying to get reelected. And
this is what politicians do.

Speaker 7 (52:18):
So there you go.

Speaker 5 (52:19):
Uh, Mandy Obama yanked all those manufacturing jobs out of
red counties. No wonder those people were on the doll
You know, there's a lot of reasons for it. And
by the way, when we say on the doles, these
are not just welfare programs. These are all government programs,
including the ur and income tax credit, veterans benefits, everything else.
So when you say on the dole, it just makes

(52:40):
it sound like welfare people people getting welfare. Of some
those people are included, but they're not the only ones.
So yeah, we shall see, We shall see. Mandy Biden
finally delivered on an infrastructure bill that Trump kept promising
but never delivered on.

Speaker 4 (52:59):
You know, how's that working out?

Speaker 5 (53:01):
The forty billion dollars that was given to Kamala to
get rural broadband or all those Tesla chargers that we're
going to be built by that infrastructure bill.

Speaker 4 (53:11):
We're we'refall Did I miss those?

Speaker 8 (53:15):
Now?

Speaker 5 (53:17):
Because giant infrastructure bills are just payoff to labor unions.
When it comes to that, Mandy, don't look at my record,
listen to my campaign commercials and vote accordingly. Amen to that, Mandy,
Biden and Hunter caused the war in Ukraine being in
business with Parisma. They're also buying oil from Russia through China.
It was all a big deal and all of them
are in on it. I'm not going to blame Hunter

(53:38):
Biden for what's going on in Ukraine, but he certainly
was connected to Ukrainian oligarchs that were not good people,
not good people at all. When we get back about
the port workers strike and how many of our public
schools made the top fifteen in Colorado.

Speaker 4 (53:56):
I'll answer both of those. Next.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
A port workers strike goodreak havoc on the American economy.

Speaker 4 (54:03):
If you haven't heard about this.

Speaker 5 (54:04):
The port workers are asking for a significant raise, and
that's just to get them back to the table. Now,
these are people that are very well paid. Even for
Los Angeles or Miami or wherever the ports are located.

Speaker 4 (54:17):
These are very well paid people.

Speaker 5 (54:19):
Their whole thing is shipping. Companies are making billions. Therefore,
we deserve to make more. That's like somebody's saying McDonald's
makes billions, so we deserve to make thirty bucks an
hour for making fries. Now, what's fascinating about all this
is that this could significantly damage the chances for Kamala

(54:43):
Harris to get re elected because it'll work like this, Like,
right now, you know things are pretty well stocked on
store shelves, but if this strike goes on, then you're
gonna go to the store. Everything's gonna be empty. It's
just gonna be like it was during COVID again, remember
how awesome that was. And right before people cast their
ballots are gonna be walking into Walmart.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
There's not gonna be anything on the shelves. So that's nifty.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
From a purely American citizen perspective, I hope this doesn't happen.
From a political perspective, part of me is like, bring
it on. Bring it on, doc workers, because if you
want to make sure that your team, and I'm talking
about the Democrats is not there to support you in

(55:29):
all of your idiocy, then yeah, go ahead, keep it up.
Empty the shelves right before an election. This is the
most shortsighted, idiotic.

Speaker 4 (55:36):
Thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 5 (55:37):
I do have a question, though, and I don't remember
enough about this. So when Ronald Reagan fired all the
air traffic controllers back in the eighties, how was he.

Speaker 4 (55:48):
Able to do that? And why can't we do that
with dock workers?

Speaker 5 (55:51):
I mean, I know we won't because Joe Biden still
thinks that the union's are amazing.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
I'm glad that Reagan did that. That's how I had
got in. Yeah, I mean, why why can't we Why
can't we just fire them all? Mandy?

Speaker 5 (56:06):
The longshoreman have a monopoly on unloading ships. I've been
told government by the government, monopolies are bad. Therefore they
should be broken up to encourage competition. That is exactly right,
exactly right, Mandy. Who do we pay interest payments on
the national debt too? Isn't the Federal Reserve privately owned?

(56:28):
They print money whenever needed. Something about this is really
really off. No, we're paying interest on government treasury bonds.
We don't just get money from the Federal Reserve.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
It's not that simple.

Speaker 5 (56:41):
There's an old process, but we're we're paying interest on
treasury bonds. People bought treasury bonds because they thought that
their money was going to a solid investment with a
decent return.

Speaker 7 (56:51):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (56:54):
Hang on one second. I don't know who this is
looking right now? Oh well, that's why I didn't know this.

Speaker 5 (57:02):
Apparently somebody keeps texting me that Frank Fritz also died.

Speaker 4 (57:05):
Have you ever heard of Frank Fritz?

Speaker 7 (57:06):
Ay?

Speaker 5 (57:07):
Rod, Okay, you made me feel better than I had
not from American Pickers. That's one of those shows that
I don't understand why it's a show. Have you ever
seen an American Pickers?

Speaker 4 (57:16):
I don't think I've watched that one.

Speaker 5 (57:17):
I tried to watch it to figure out what I
was missing, and I watched a whole episode and at
the end I was.

Speaker 4 (57:21):
Like, Nope, I still don't get it.

Speaker 5 (57:23):
It's these guys who go into like giant barns full
of crap and they go through and they find these
little hidden treasures in the barn full of crap or
a storage area or whatever.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
I have to buy it like that.

Speaker 6 (57:37):
No, no, no, no no, no.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
People invite them, No, they invite they invite them in
to come look at stuff or whatever. I mean, it's
just it's one of those things. I'm not an antique
person though, Like I don't care about old. Yeah, we're thrifters,
so that show might be kind of fun.

Speaker 4 (57:50):
Thrifting I can get behind. This is me, This is more.

Speaker 2 (57:54):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (57:55):
I can't think of how to describe it. Just watch it,
report back on. But you won't see Frank Fritz because
apparently he died. He was the bearded Charmer of American pickers,
the bearded charmer and a stroke, I guess a couple
of years ago. So rip Frank Fritz. Now you can
go to the great picking grounds in the sky. Probably
found some great deals, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (58:17):
I believe the air traffic control workers had it in
their contract they were not allowed to go on strike.

Speaker 4 (58:21):
That gave Reagan the authority to fire him. So why
in the world.

Speaker 5 (58:26):
Would we not put that in the union contract for
the long shoreman who control the American economy. And oh yeah, okay,
so the air traffic controllers were federal employees. Thank you
all of you Texters who did that.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
Longshoremen are not government employees, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (58:48):
The dock workers want to participate in profits.

Speaker 4 (58:50):
If the shipping companies start losing money, would they like
to participate in the losses? Also, that is a great question,
great question We don't know. Oh, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (59:02):
I had a good friend this from an email who
worked the docs out in Long Beach, California when I
lived there. They were paid absolutely ridiculous amounts of money
to walk around and do virtually nothing. He was in
the Union, and he used to laugh about how much
he was paid to walk around with a clipboard and
look busy. He's retired now and has a bulletproof pension.

(59:22):
And that's why I don't have a lot of sympathy
for the position of the longshoreman.

Speaker 4 (59:28):
I really don't.

Speaker 5 (59:29):
And I saw some guy talking about, uh, he's some
kind of leader in the longshoreman and he's like, you know.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
What, We're gonna cripple this economy. And I'm like, see,
you know what, that makes me not like you? Makes
me not like you when you wield that sort of
power and then and then brag about it.

Speaker 5 (59:52):
Right, It's kind of like when people brag about how
rich they are, I'm immediately suspect that they're not exactly
rich at all. When people have to tell you how
much power they have, I'm like, Okay, I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:00:04):
Know about that. We shall see anyway.

Speaker 5 (01:00:11):
That's all I'm saying about that. I don't care unless
I can't get toilet paper. I'm not saying stock up,
I'm just saying I might be stocking up, might be
doing that. If you're flying out a DIA this week,
heads up and a warning. There will be some train
maintenance this week.

Speaker 4 (01:00:25):
And we all know a rod. Can I walk from
the main terminal to terminal C? Can I walk there
a rod?

Speaker 10 (01:00:31):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:00:33):
Trains at DEA are scheduled to undergo maintenance this week.
It will create a partial suspension of service. Trains will
not operate between the terminal and Concourse A overnight for
two nights. Instead, passengers will use the bridge. Maintenance will
only impact train service between the terminal and Concourse A,
and train service will still be available for transit between

(01:00:54):
all three concourses. This is from eight pm through one
am on Wednesday wait today, so Tuesday October first, eight
pm through one am on Wednesday October second, so from
eight pm to one am tonight, and then from eight
pm to one am tomorrow night.

Speaker 4 (01:01:12):
So just you've been warned.

Speaker 5 (01:01:15):
If you've got to go, you're gonna have to walk
to Terminal A, which is not a bad bad walk
at all. I mean it's it's not like Atlanta walking
in between the concourses, where I'm.

Speaker 4 (01:01:24):
Pretty sure you walk across the entire state of Georgia.

Speaker 5 (01:01:28):
Also on the blog today, many of you requested it,
and I have Mike Rosen's voter guide on the blog today.
We agree on everything but ranked choice voting. He is
staunchly one hundred percent against it. You can also find
the link to my voter guide. As a matter of fact,
in the next hour. We didn't get through the Denver
ballot initiatives yesterday, so we'll do that and I'll talk

(01:01:50):
about a couple other things on my voter guide today
because I tried to put as much stuff as I
could into these voter guides, but you know you can
only put so much stuff in before we'll just stop reading.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
So there you go.

Speaker 5 (01:02:03):
I'm just like trying to get everything in here. Oh
I want to do this story.

Speaker 4 (01:02:09):
I got time.

Speaker 5 (01:02:10):
A recent study has revealed the top schools in Colorado.
A website called Niche released it's twenty twenty five branking
of best school districts in the country. The list includes
both private and public schools. The public schools also encompass
traditional charter and magnet schools as well. Several factors are
taken into account, including academics, diversity, clubs and activities, college preparation,

(01:02:36):
and sports. They no longer use SAT and ACT scores though,
because those are not as important for getting into college.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
Just I'm gonna give you a little spoiler. There is
one traditional public high school on this list, that is
Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village. The rest of
the schools on this list are either private.

Speaker 5 (01:02:56):
Schools or charter schools also public schools, schools or public schools,
but not a single traditional middle school or high school
or an elementary school on the list, and most of
them are in the Denver metro most of them. Some
of them are in Lafayette, Colorado Springs has a few, Carbondale,

(01:03:20):
edwards Vale. Yeah, not a good look for traditional public schools,
But hey, what are you going to do?

Speaker 4 (01:03:27):
Right when we get back? The weed boom is over?
I'll explain next.

Speaker 5 (01:03:34):
Has anybody else noticed a bunch of weed stores that
have closed? I've driven by the last because like on
Mondays when I go to Region Revolution, I have to
go up through Denver and then cut over to go
to Haravada and got kind in traffic. On I twenty five,
thought I was gonna be cool and go around it
using ways, And I went through a neighborhood in Denver,

(01:03:54):
a not a residential neighborhood, just a business type neighborhood,
and I saw two closed pot stores and I was like, Wow,
that's kind of crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:04:02):
Well, now we know. I think we've hit peak marijuana
in Denver, Colorado, and Colorado overall.

Speaker 5 (01:04:09):
Colorado's marijuana sales and tax revenue are back on the
decline after a hopeful end of twenty twenty three, indicating
there's more fueling the market than simply recovering from the pandemic. Now,
we all know that during the pandemic, when everybody was
working from home, apparently.

Speaker 4 (01:04:26):
Everybody just got high all day while they were like,
I don't know if you were like, oh, let me
just mute my microphone and my camera and do a
bong hit over here while I'm doing my zoomie, I
don't know what was going on. But man, people were
smoking a lot of pot.

Speaker 5 (01:04:41):
So the other part of this is something that everyone
with half a brain had to see coming, and that
was as other states legalized marijuana, people stopped coming here
for pot.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
Pot tourism was a real phenomenon.

Speaker 5 (01:04:58):
I know this because I friends that planned a trip
to Colorado for the first time in their lives because
they wanted to come to Colorado and they wanted to let.

Speaker 4 (01:05:07):
Go into a pots store and they wanted to stand
there and giggle like, Oh my god, this is so amazing,
Oh my god, I can't believe this.

Speaker 5 (01:05:14):
Did that on more than one occasion with me. These
are grown ass people, y'all. These are like twenty two
year old children. These are grown ass people. There was
a novelty thing to it, right, it was.

Speaker 6 (01:05:24):
It was it was kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (01:05:26):
It's kind of different.

Speaker 5 (01:05:27):
Well now it's old, same old, and so people are
not coming here anymore for pot tourism. Presented by the
Colorado Legislative Council staff. This from the Post Independent.

Speaker 4 (01:05:37):
Preliminary numbers for the twenty twenty three to twenty twenty
four fiscal year show a twelve point eight percent decrease
in total tax revenue from the marijuana industry compared to
the year before.

Speaker 5 (01:05:49):
Our tax revenue reached two hundred and forty eight point
two million in twenty three twenty four. The forecast for
the next fiscal years expected.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
To continue far before hitting a three point two increase
in twenty five twenty six.

Speaker 5 (01:06:04):
Where do you I don't understand where that came from.
I mean it's optimist, but I don't know where they
get that. Marijuana hit its peak during the pandemic. August
twenty twenty saw the largest sum ever collected in marijuana taxes,
nearly thirty nine point seven million dollars in that month.

Speaker 4 (01:06:26):
And now prices are coming down.

Speaker 5 (01:06:28):
They're the cheapest they've been in several years, about sixty
three percent lower, and people are saying things like this.

Speaker 4 (01:06:36):
Tax revenue.

Speaker 5 (01:06:39):
From marijuana is falling across most states where recreational marijuana
is legal due to declining demand after the pandemic, but
states that legalize marijuana early, like Colorado, Washington, and Oregon
are seeing the biggest declines in sales. So here's my theory.
And you can text me at five six six nine
ozero and I will not out.

Speaker 4 (01:06:59):
I will not I will not out you.

Speaker 5 (01:07:02):
But I have a theory, and that is like people
can't afford to buy as much pot. They're having to
spend their money on things like food and car.

Speaker 4 (01:07:11):
Repairs and childcare. And we know, we're spending twenty percent
more than we did two years ago. So is that
your pot money?

Speaker 5 (01:07:19):
I'd love to know if any of you are in
that category, or if you have significantly reduced your pot consumption,
and maybe that's from five joint a month to one
joint a month.

Speaker 4 (01:07:29):
I'm not saying that you're, like, you know, super consumer
out there. Why have you flowed your role on this?
I think it's the economy, at least in part.

Speaker 5 (01:07:40):
Although there are certain vices like liquor, alcohol and liquor,
they never really seem to get hit in a recession
because people use alcohol to not the pain of a recession,
so they're considered to be recession proof.

Speaker 4 (01:07:55):
But is pot.

Speaker 5 (01:07:56):
I don't know the answer to that question. I'd like
to No, you can text me at five sixty six nine. Oh,
that's five sixty six nine.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
Oh, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:08:05):
Competition is lowered prices, that's why revenue is down. That's
probably true, Mandy. I think most people are growing their
own marijuana in Colorado.

Speaker 4 (01:08:14):
I am a Colorado resident. I think that's wrong. No offense.

Speaker 5 (01:08:17):
I don't know if you've met pot smokers, And I'm
making a blanket generalization just based on my own experience
with potsmokers, they're not necessarily.

Speaker 4 (01:08:24):
The most motivated people in the entire world. Like, if
they want to get high, they're not going to be like,
you know what I should do. I should plan a
seed and then I should watch it grow, and then
I should take care of it, and then I should
harvest it, and then I should dry it, and then
I should smoke it.

Speaker 5 (01:08:40):
They're like, yeah, let's go to the pot store. Text
me five six six nine, Oh, we'll be back.

Speaker 1 (01:08:46):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 6 (01:08:51):
No, it's Mandy Connell.

Speaker 3 (01:09:01):
Got the niceye then Conkey sad thing.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the third hour of the show.
Hey Anthony, Yes, I heard that people are again winning
money and the keyword for cash contest. Is that true?

Speaker 5 (01:09:25):
It is true money not Now you've already missed her
in the show today, but it's an argoing contest.

Speaker 4 (01:09:32):
There one more. I don't know, there might be one more.
I didn't read the email. I think there's one more opportunity. Okay,
one more opportunity.

Speaker 6 (01:09:37):
We'll just let you know.

Speaker 7 (01:09:38):
I can confirm.

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
Yes, keyword for cash coming up sometime in this future
portion of the program. Yes, just to let you know
high like money, we can't win. I know we cannot.

Speaker 5 (01:09:48):
I asked, and you guys delivered. I got some really
good feedback on the pop store things. A lot of
people saying neighbor's neighboring states, legalized prices come down, tax
revenue comes down. Simple math, Mandy, are the numbers? Quantity
or dollars? Pot is ridiculously cheap. The black market comes out.

(01:10:09):
This out comes out of the same grow operations. I'm
at the stage of my life where as somebody said
I need you to go buy some pot on the
black market, I would literally be like, I don't even know.
I have no clue, Like, how do you even find
the Can I Google?

Speaker 10 (01:10:20):
That?

Speaker 4 (01:10:22):
Is that something I can do the Google with?

Speaker 11 (01:10:24):
You know?

Speaker 4 (01:10:24):
Probably not? I don't know use the Google. I'm doing
it right now, hangline on a work computer. It's fine
buying pot on the black market? How do I do
it in Colorado? Anyone monitors our history, They're gonna be like,
what the hell? I'm sure they are do I have
to go?

Speaker 5 (01:10:44):
Okay, so that's Colorado Springs. How easy is it for
a minor to.

Speaker 7 (01:10:47):
Get purposes research purchases.

Speaker 4 (01:10:50):
That's what I'm doing. It on the air mark the taste.

Speaker 5 (01:10:53):
It doesn't give me, it doesn't give me where. I'm disappointed.
I figured it would be like yo, a trojan. Yeah, yeah, No,
that's a little bit disappointing. I don't know how to
find illegal stuff, like I always hear people say it's
on the dark web. I have no idea how to
find the dark web, like I barely know how to
find the light web. So all this dark one and

(01:11:15):
you I'm just gonna go on a tear here for.

Speaker 4 (01:11:17):
A second and then we'll get back to cot stores.

Speaker 5 (01:11:19):
If you ever see these stories where people are like,
we've arrested a guy because he was plotting to kill
the president. He thought he was talking to an assassin,
but he was really talking to the FBI.

Speaker 4 (01:11:29):
So where does that guy go? Like what set him?
Does he go to the Google?

Speaker 5 (01:11:34):
How do I I'm not doing this in Google, by
the way, how do I hire an assassin? And then
the FBI is like, hello, we can help, Like what
is that process?

Speaker 10 (01:11:43):
Like?

Speaker 5 (01:11:44):
How do you hire someone? Don't get me wrong, I'm
not trying to hire a hitman. I've got no one
in my life that I want disposed of in that
way currently, not saying in the past I wouldn't have
thought about it, but at that point I didn't have
the money to hire a hitman, so it wasn't really
on the table.

Speaker 4 (01:11:58):
But you know what I'm saying, Like, when you hear
the stories.

Speaker 5 (01:12:00):
That's the first thing I think, How did you get
connected with people from the FBI pretending to be an assassin?

Speaker 4 (01:12:06):
What was that process? I probably did. They probably did
enough research lightly which led.

Speaker 7 (01:12:13):
Them just down the right rabbit hole to find the
right link that brought them to the right place with
the wrong people.

Speaker 5 (01:12:19):
Well, you know what, if you find the website assassins
are us, chances are it's it's a setup by the FEDS.

Speaker 7 (01:12:25):
I'm just letting you know that I would venture to guess,
based on absolutely no real information, that you probably have
to go through so many different channels to get to
the right chat room.

Speaker 4 (01:12:35):
I don't know at the right time. Are there chat
rooms still a thing?

Speaker 7 (01:12:38):
I would venture to guess that's how it. That's probably
where you go. I mean, it's not literally like a crislist.
Where are you gonna have chat rooms?

Speaker 4 (01:12:45):
Now? On the dark Web.

Speaker 5 (01:12:47):
Well, I don't know how to find the dark web.
So now we hear the old circle. I'm just a
law abiding citizen.

Speaker 4 (01:12:52):
I can do about it. I'm gonna want to be
a criminal. I couldn't figure it out.

Speaker 7 (01:12:56):
Again, I'm gonna venture to guess it's something on the
line of like an FTP, where you kind of download
different clients that have you, like, the ability to access
the dark web. I've never done it. I've seen horror stories.
I've watched videos of people doing it, and there's I mean,
it's nasty. There's some nasty stuff out there.

Speaker 4 (01:13:14):
Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:13:14):
I've always worried that I think I'm talking to the
FBI that might actually be a higher assassin.

Speaker 4 (01:13:20):
You never know, you do not know anyway, a lot
of you.

Speaker 5 (01:13:24):
By the way, I did not mean to offend regular
pot users with my statement that potheads generally are not
going to be motivated to grow their own pot, a
statement I stand by, but some people took that as
I was insulting potheads, who are very productive people. To
be clear, some of the smartest people I've ever met
in my life have smoked marijuana.

Speaker 4 (01:13:46):
And I'm being dead s here.

Speaker 5 (01:13:47):
I'm talking like astrophysicist level knowledge, rocket scientists kind of stuff,
and I don't I'm not judging people, but they're also
not the people that are going to go out there
and be like, you know what, I'm gonna save a
few books, I'm gonna grow some weed. First of all,
it is stinky. It's very stinky to grow weed.

Speaker 4 (01:14:06):
Trust me.

Speaker 5 (01:14:07):
My neighbor who I adored for a long time, he
grew weed in his basement legally, fully, legally, but dang
in the summer, it was.

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
Like, what is I mean? It was bad.

Speaker 7 (01:14:19):
Nearly a decade later, I'm still as someone that lived
downtown Denver not long after they legalized it, I'm still
trying to get the bad taste out of my mouth
about what that was like living downtown Denver within the
first few years of them legalizing it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:34):
It was an adventure.

Speaker 5 (01:14:35):
Okay, to all of you who are now sending me
the directions on how to get to the Dark Web,
I appreciate you, but I'm a little scared of you.

Speaker 4 (01:14:41):
At the same time you should be. You need a
tour router to get to the dark Web. Generally, what
the hell is that?

Speaker 2 (01:14:47):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (01:14:48):
What is a router?

Speaker 7 (01:14:50):
Essentially, you can't get there unless you download a specific
web client that lets you log in with certain credentials
you probably have to well maybe not to pay for,
but like you, but you can't stumble upon the dark
web accidentally, can I I will accept that.

Speaker 4 (01:15:04):
I don't believe you can.

Speaker 7 (01:15:05):
You have to be it's a purposeful path, yes, Like
you have to download the right like web client on
the right side, with the right log and credentials. Because
the people on the dark Web, they don't want to
just anyone getting in there, because they're doing some not
so good stuff and hiring and looking at and accessing
not good stuff like you can, Mandy, you know you can.

Speaker 4 (01:15:26):
I've never done it. I swear to God. I just
know about it.

Speaker 7 (01:15:30):
You can go into certain chat rooms and portals and
watch people get tortured. Yeah, why is that people that
they kidnap people. It's it's real, it's no joke.

Speaker 4 (01:15:40):
You see these people coming from. How does the government
know about that these plazes exist?

Speaker 7 (01:15:45):
Like and that's just I mean, it's nasty stuff that
is not cool, stuff like that torture.

Speaker 4 (01:15:52):
I mean, so I've heard again like killings, like you
can watch.

Speaker 7 (01:15:56):
And access anything on the dark web, can make that
as no one knows for sure what you send.

Speaker 5 (01:16:06):
Me a link, I don't want to see it. If
you know where that is, then don't send it to me.
I don't want to see that. Mandy is a retired cop.
I spent years investigating dark web crimes such as child porn,
sex trafficking, and murder. For higher cases, there's a specific
browser for the dark Web. And just so you know,
law enforcement agencies all throughout the state watched the dark Web.

Speaker 4 (01:16:27):
Well, I know, I have no plans.

Speaker 5 (01:16:29):
And by the way, to the person who texted this, chuck,
be careful she's looking.

Speaker 7 (01:16:34):
No, I'm not.

Speaker 4 (01:16:36):
Just kidding, just kidding about that. Uh, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:16:44):
The Assassin's probably started his talk show hosts innocently asking
for hitman. Then bingo again. I hope not sounds like
that How to Hire a Hitman book that became a
free speech discussion and led to the shutdown of a
publishing company in Colorado.

Speaker 4 (01:16:58):
There's a book called Wait a minute, it, let's see
book called how how how to Hire a hit Man?
Is that really a book?

Speaker 6 (01:17:12):
Wow?

Speaker 7 (01:17:12):
By the way, the thing I was talking about before
they called I was looking up online again. No one
knows for sure if they exist and how they exist,
but they're called red rooms where you can access these
rooms and watch all kinds of why good stuff in
the world because people in this world are messed up
and they have the dark Web to live out those weird.

Speaker 5 (01:17:32):
Weird disgusting like disgusting. I just I don't want to watch,
Oh I be the most vile that they could be. Mandy,
I'll always be more valuable alive than dead.

Speaker 4 (01:17:43):
To my wife, I am.

Speaker 5 (01:17:44):
I am well insured. I tell my kids this all
the time. I'm like, look, I'm not saying you want
me to die in an accident. I'm just saying if
it did happen, you know you'd be okay. I dark Web,
I know I'm not reading these about how to reach
I don't want to reach the dark Web.

Speaker 6 (01:18:01):
I was just kidding.

Speaker 4 (01:18:03):
I want to remain innocent. Ah, You people know too much.

Speaker 7 (01:18:07):
And the more articles it makes you feel better as
I google it, the more I would say, the more
of the majority of articles are really kind of talking
about like the legend of whether these are true. I
don't know if anyone's really seeing them or access them
or the dark Web in the Red Rooms and torture
but it's always been a rumor. You know, I don't
know if it really exists, and I don't want to know.

(01:18:27):
This person said Mandy. I went on the dark Web
one time. Felt like I had to disinfect my computer
when I came back. Another text said the dark web
is full of hackers. If you log on, all the
hackers will be in your computer instantly.

Speaker 4 (01:18:39):
Oh that's probably true. Yeah, I agree. More likely you'll
be hacked than you actually watch something.

Speaker 5 (01:18:44):
Okay, he says this text. I just grabbed a pen
and paper. Can you tell me how to get to
the dark Web again? No, no, I can't, And don't
ask me again.

Speaker 4 (01:18:52):
About how to hire a hitman and all that stuff.
You people scare me. You're freaking me out. For the record,
be clear, I am not in the market at all
to hire a hit person.

Speaker 10 (01:19:05):
You know.

Speaker 4 (01:19:05):
I don't want to misgender someone.

Speaker 10 (01:19:07):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (01:19:07):
There's no one in my life currently that I would
like to take out. Now that could change. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (01:19:14):
Very fond of my husband. Don't want him to die
anytime soon. Just ask him how much I nag him
about his diet and health. You know, there's no way
like if something happened to check, and the police called
me in and I was like, do you have any
idea how many times I've yelled at him about his diet.
I would have just shoved McDonald's cheeseburgers down his throat
if I wanted him to die, wouldn't had to bring
in a middleman. So no, there's no hiring of the

(01:19:37):
hit man. None of that stuff is happening. And as
a matter of fact, let's move on to something less murdery. Okay,
Tina Peters is going to find out tomorrow what kind
of sentence she's going to get for her role in
and I'm going to use her words and I'm putting
him in air quotes right here. For her role is

(01:19:58):
she says in trying to quote protect election integrity, where
she broke.

Speaker 4 (01:20:04):
All kinds of rules and laws to do that.

Speaker 5 (01:20:07):
And she was found guilty on multiple charges, not all
the charges, but multiple charges. And tomorrow she will find
out what her sentence is. Now we're gonna have somebody
on that tomorrow. The sentencing I'm guessing should be done
at about nine, I mean at about noon, maybe a
little earlier, because I don't think there are victim impact

(01:20:29):
statements here because I'm not sure. So she's gonna face
that tomorrow. She faces up to twenty years in prison. Now,
just this week, she's running around talking about us.

Speaker 4 (01:20:43):
She has evidence, she knows she's got, well, her evidence
was not presented at trial.

Speaker 5 (01:20:47):
I still believe that Tina Peters got really really bad
representation because she lets someone else pay for it. That
someone else being Mike Lindell, who's facing multiple lawsuits about.

Speaker 4 (01:21:01):
All of his accusations. And I think that he used
her trial to sort of loft these balloons into the
courtroom to see if they would fly so he could
defend himself in his trials. And I think Tina got
the chef. Now, don't get me wrong, I think what
she did.

Speaker 5 (01:21:18):
Was stupid, and I think what she did was ridiculous
and she should be held responsible. But I also think
that on appeal she may have an argument that may
carry water when it comes to her legal representation. But
does she have the money to hire her own attorney.

(01:21:40):
That's why she let Mike Lindell pay for it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:41):
In the first place.

Speaker 5 (01:21:44):
Part of me like, I'm so close to having some
sympathy for her, because I feel like she is part
of a group of Republicans who.

Speaker 4 (01:21:55):
Got so sucked into the Trump spear, and in her case,
I mean, she wasn't in the immediate sphere, but.

Speaker 5 (01:22:03):
She got so sucked in by the Donald Trump cult
that she broke the law on his behalf. And then,
of course, as happens to everyone who does that, she
got thrown to the wolves rightfully. So so it's going
to be very interesting to see what her actual.

Speaker 4 (01:22:21):
Sentences.

Speaker 5 (01:22:22):
And we'll find out tomorrow. I mean not tomorrow, Thursday.
I keep thinking today's Wednesday, and it's not. It's only Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (01:22:28):
On Thursday.

Speaker 5 (01:22:29):
We'll find out what she got when we get back.
We've got a bunch of kind of this and that
stories to talk about. But I want to talk about
young men for a minute because there's a great article
and I had it yesterday and I mentioned it briefly,
but I didn't talk about it. But I really want
to have this conversation because we are seeing a time
in society where young men seem to be flailing worse

(01:22:51):
than ever before.

Speaker 4 (01:22:54):
And I have a theory behind what we need to.

Speaker 5 (01:22:58):
Do here, and I doubt that the parents whose kids
are flailing are even going to consider it. I'll explain
that next Tina Peters broke the law, Christy Kaefer pursued
a losing legal strategy through the courts. That's a big,
big difference. And to the person who pointed out Mandy
shows you're in a pretty good place in your life.
If there's nobody you'd like to take a contract out

(01:23:19):
on exactly. Life is good, my friends. Life is good,
even though I now know way more about the Dark
Web than I knew before.

Speaker 7 (01:23:29):
So there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:23:30):
I want to talk about this story from the Wall
Street Journal because it kind of stuck with me.

Speaker 5 (01:23:37):
There is a crisis happening among young men, and the
crisis is they don't know what to do with themselves.
And if you read the article, and the article is
rather lengthy, they interview some younger men and they say
things like, you know, I don't feel.

Speaker 4 (01:23:55):
Like I have a purpose. I don't feel like I matter,
I don't feel important.

Speaker 5 (01:24:04):
Part of this is that we've raised these young men,
especially men in their i'd say like early twenties right now.
They have come of age during a time when they
were being blamed for everything. Right, toxic masculinity.

Speaker 4 (01:24:19):
That's the problem. You guys are evil, You have no soul,
believe all women all that crap.

Speaker 5 (01:24:27):
So that was when they came of age, so of
course they feel attacked. And then you have this perception
that somehow masculinity is negative. I could not argue more
forcefully against that notion. Men, masculinity is your natural condition. Now,
it's not, you know, being abusive to other people. That's

(01:24:51):
not masculinity. Masculinity in my mind, here's my little dime
store definition of masculinity. It is leaning into the protector
role that men naturally take. Let me just share a
little example of the masculinity of my husband that is
so small that it might seem insignificant.

Speaker 4 (01:25:10):
But this happened this morning. So we're walking the.

Speaker 5 (01:25:12):
Dog this morning, and I walk the dog every day.
I love to take the dog for a walk. We
go every single day. We go in all these different directions.
But well we're coming back to our house. I take
the same path crossing the street coming back to the house,
and I kind of cut a little short on the corner.

Speaker 4 (01:25:29):
And so I did that today.

Speaker 5 (01:25:32):
And Chuck said, why are you going on that side
of me? And I'm like, because this is what I
do every single day. He goes, no, you always put
me between you and the cars.

Speaker 10 (01:25:40):
I do.

Speaker 5 (01:25:42):
But that's that is masculinity. It's a small gesture that says,
I'm going to protect you.

Speaker 8 (01:25:48):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:25:48):
In the case of Chuck, he's so big that if
a car hit him, pretty chance it's it's stopping right,
So I would be okay because but that's the kind
of masculinity that men should embrace and be proud of.
Just the caretaker role in that perspective is so important.
And I was talking to a young woman and this

(01:26:08):
happened years ago, and she was talking about trying to
find a guy that she wanted to spend the rest.

Speaker 4 (01:26:14):
Of her life with.

Speaker 5 (01:26:15):
And I said, look, here's what you ask yourself on
a first date with a guy. If you're really looking
for a partner to spend the rest of your life with,
and you're not just dating to date, You've got to
ask your at the end of that first date, if
someone broke into your house, would that guy be able
to take care of it?

Speaker 4 (01:26:31):
And if the answer is no, don't go on a
second date. If that guy is not the guy who's
going to get out of bed and get his gun
or a big stick or whatever and go find out
what's going on. You don't want to be married to
that person. Question though, to clarify, you mean at least
attempt potentially. Yeah, is he going to lay in bed

(01:26:55):
there with you and call nine one one or is
he going to get out there with something in his
head in and put himself in harm's way to try
and protect your family? Gotcha?

Speaker 5 (01:27:04):
And you would absolutely do that. I didn't even ask
you because I know you. There's nobody that is going
to come for a Rod's wife. Nobody is gonna nobody is.
That's not gonna happen. I already know that, Mandy.

Speaker 4 (01:27:17):
That's so funny.

Speaker 5 (01:27:18):
I always walk on the outside of my wife. I mean,
that's and Chuck doesn't even It's not a thing, it's
just what he does.

Speaker 4 (01:27:25):
And when he got really aggravated, he's like, just let
me do this. I'm like, okay, But I normally go
on a walk by myself, so I don't have to
think about it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:35):
So it is.

Speaker 5 (01:27:36):
It's but the story that I'm getting to here on
the Wall Street Journal, listen to this. More women ages
twenty five to thirty four have entered the workforce in
recent years than ever before. The share of young men
in the labor market, however, hasn't grown in a decade.
As of August, eighty nine percent of this cohorter men
were employed or looking for work, fewer that are more

(01:27:58):
than the seven hundred thousand, fewer than if the current
labor force participation rate was at two thousand and four levels.
Women's participation is up six percentage points in the past
ten years to seventy nine percent. A fifth of men
in the same age rage still live with their parents
compared with twelve percent of women.

Speaker 6 (01:28:19):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:28:20):
The thing that I keep thinking and going.

Speaker 5 (01:28:21):
Back to is that for years and years and years
and years and years, when young men were lost and
they didn't know what they wanted to do, and they
were sort of flailing around being a man child, you know,
one foot stuck in high school, the other foot moving
aimlessly about. What these young men did was going to
the military. And let me tell you something, you guys,

(01:28:45):
I've now experienced this as a mom. You send your
son to the military and they send you back a man, period.
And that's just after basic training.

Speaker 4 (01:28:57):
The change that I have seen in young.

Speaker 5 (01:29:02):
People from before they joined the military too after they
joined the military.

Speaker 4 (01:29:06):
Is astounding.

Speaker 5 (01:29:08):
Now, if you are a complete loser and degenerate. Please
don't join the military because we don't need that. And
as a matter of fact, when people ask my husband
what will the army do for my kid, Chuck would
always turnt around and say, what would your kid do
for the army? Just as important a question to ask.

Speaker 4 (01:29:24):
But isn't it interesting that we're having all these stories
of young men flailing and know he's saying, why don't
you just join the military, Just do it, get out
there and do the thing. So it's, uh, what are
their options are there for manning up young men who

(01:29:44):
are not manned up? And I know that manned up
is supposed to be, like it's so negative, it's such
a toxic of masculinity.

Speaker 6 (01:29:52):
No, it's not.

Speaker 5 (01:29:55):
For whatever reason, women seem to make the transition between
and childhood and adulthood a little more seamlessly.

Speaker 4 (01:30:04):
Maybe because we.

Speaker 5 (01:30:06):
Mature a little faster, so we've kind of start the
maturation process earlier than men, and then men have to,
you know, continue to mature and develop and grow. But
in my mind, there are probably two solt three solid ways,
three solid ways to help young men grow up. Number one,

(01:30:26):
join the military. Number two, get into a relationship with
a woman who's going to form you. And number three
get thrown completely on your own with no one helping you.
You have to support yourself, you have to pay rent,
you have to do all of these things, and let
you figure it out, because that that last part, that's
that's my twenties, right, my twenties were you have to

(01:30:49):
figure out how to survive. You don't have any real
marketable skills. Figure it out. That's very very effective in helping.

Speaker 4 (01:30:57):
Someone grow up.

Speaker 5 (01:30:58):
When you realize that no one is coming to save
you and you have to do it yourself, that is
a very sobering reality. And some people have that thrust
upon them. I have a friend who went right, maybe
like a week or two. Seems like a week or two,
maybe a month after she graduated from college, both of
her parents were killed in a car accident. No life
insurance or anything, so all of a sudden, she went

(01:31:19):
from being an only child with two parents who were
always super supportive to being an orphan. And she struggled
for about a year and then she figured it out.
And she's the one that repeated to me many times,
no one is coming to save you.

Speaker 4 (01:31:33):
You have to figure it out. For yourself. Isn't the
military sort of woke now, maybe, but not nearly as
woke as the rest of the world.

Speaker 5 (01:31:42):
Madly, men like Tim Walls wave at the crowd with
both hands. Maybe include a celebratory kick if he's really
pumped up, don't you know? I don't mind Tim Walls,
You guys do I want to be vice president?

Speaker 10 (01:31:54):
Know?

Speaker 5 (01:31:55):
But when I go to a barbecue with him, heck
yeah I would. I think it'd be cool to hang
out with But again, I want him to be like, no,
I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:32:01):
Hang out with him. Yes, vice presidentting no football tailgates, Yeah, oh.

Speaker 5 (01:32:06):
Perfect, nailed it, because you know, he brings a nerve
football with him, so even the people that can't play
football very well, I'll give him credit.

Speaker 4 (01:32:13):
It's probably a real football. No, he has both.

Speaker 5 (01:32:16):
He has both, but he brings the nerve football for
the people that are not, you know, wanting to catch you.

Speaker 4 (01:32:20):
Does he yes, he does. I think it's just the
real one. You can't play the real one. I think
you don't play with Tim wants everybody to participate. Yeah
he does? Does he does?

Speaker 6 (01:32:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:32:30):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (01:32:31):
Yeah, I think he makes you feel bad if you
can't throw real football.

Speaker 5 (01:32:35):
I don't mind throwing a real football, catching a real
football if it's thrown really hard, I don't like that.

Speaker 7 (01:32:39):
I'm the other way around. I don't like that all hands.
I don't throw a full size football. Well, I love
to catch the football. Okay, so nerve all the way.
So Tim, I don't think would like men.

Speaker 5 (01:32:47):
I think Tim would bring the nerve just so everybody
felt included. He probably brings huloops, so you can have
a hul loop contest at the at the tailgate.

Speaker 4 (01:32:55):
You and I have very different perceptions of Tim Walls.
I just think he seems like a fun guy and
not a mushroom. Like a fun guy, not a fun guy.

Speaker 11 (01:33:04):
Different.

Speaker 6 (01:33:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:33:05):
Yeah, he's uh Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:33:08):
When my wife and I walk, I always walk behind her.
I cover her six. Chuck often walks behind me, but
it's to look at my butt. So and Ayrod just
gave a thumbs up to that. He Arod's not looking
at my butt.

Speaker 4 (01:33:19):
Now, a boy, Chuck, No, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:33:21):
The type of man a woman should be looking for
should be able to one start a fire, to provide shelter,
and three provide food. If they can't do those three things,
run in the other direction, correct, Mandy, I actually got
yelled at by a woman one time.

Speaker 4 (01:33:36):
For opening the door for her. Crazy. What Yeah, it's
called man. But here's the thing. That woman did you a.

Speaker 5 (01:33:43):
Favor because you now know I don't want to be
in a relationship with this person. I watched a guy
we were walking into I don't even know what store was,
it doesn't matter. So he held the door for me,
and then one of my friends was right behind me,
and then another woman was behind my friend. So he
held the door for all three of us. Me and
my friend walk through. We say thank you very much.
The last lady is like, I am perfectly capable of

(01:34:06):
opening my own door, and he said in response, I
know you are, but I just thought I would do
this as a gesture of kindness.

Speaker 4 (01:34:13):
And you could see the air just like fuck out
of out of out of her. It was awesome.

Speaker 6 (01:34:18):
What she say?

Speaker 4 (01:34:19):
Nothing? Yeah, nothing, And of course I'm like looking at
him like yeah, giving him the thumbs up. How many
people have to walk through a door before it's okay
to stop opening it?

Speaker 2 (01:34:28):
Though?

Speaker 4 (01:34:29):
That my my oldest, my sons, my sons who are
very polite. Ryan would literally we would be sitting and
eating at the table and he's still holding the door
open for people at the restaurant.

Speaker 5 (01:34:39):
We're like, dude, you got you. I appreciate what you're doing,
but you gotta, you know, take.

Speaker 7 (01:34:44):
Care air have grown to do like the you inch
closer and closer in the fingertips, fingertips, fingertips, and eventually
just release it.

Speaker 4 (01:34:51):
You got it, and then I walk away. You got it, Okay,
I'm gonna.

Speaker 7 (01:34:54):
Especially if they see the string of people that you
have let him before, then like you gotta eventually like
now it's yours.

Speaker 4 (01:35:00):
Later, you have to have your own, your own, your
own dinner there, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:35:04):
I think that's why young men are being drawn back
to the church, because the church allows men to be masculine,
and serving in the church gives them purpose. I think
that's absolutely right, one hundred percent. In my opinion, women
mature faster because they are around mom more than boys are.

Speaker 4 (01:35:24):
No boys are around dad.

Speaker 5 (01:35:25):
I don't there are actually biological reasons that women mature
faster than boys.

Speaker 4 (01:35:33):
Uh, And I think part of that, if you want
to get.

Speaker 5 (01:35:34):
Right back like our basic biology, I think women mature
faster because as soon as you start menstruating, the possibility
of becoming pregnant and being someone's parent is a reality,
So you kind of got to like get it together
and be ready to take care of a baby. I mean,
when you're talking about basic biological urges, Mandy, Yes, walk

(01:35:55):
on the road side, open the car door for her,
identify your immediate exit in any venue, make decisions, Always
have your head on a swivel and one step ahead
in any situation. Be ready to act. That is from
Rocky Mountain Bronx Bill. Correct, that's what I want in
my relationships.

Speaker 4 (01:36:13):
Is that weird?

Speaker 5 (01:36:13):
I mean, don't get me wrong, Like, if Chuck tried
to boss me, it would not go anywhere. He just
I think you guys know me well enough to know
that I'm not gonna be bossed by someone else. However,
the relationship that he and I have where he lets
me do all the stuff that I do and supports
me even when he thinks I'm an idiot. He's just

(01:36:37):
there for me. But at the same time he is
manly and masculine, and I feel protected and safe and
it's awesome. Every woman should have that. Every woman. If
you're a woman who's like, oh, that sounds terrible, try
it don't.

Speaker 4 (01:36:52):
Not tell you try it.

Speaker 7 (01:36:53):
Yeah, there's a lot more that goes into it, but
those are base core principles that have to be there.

Speaker 4 (01:36:58):
Correct, Like, there's so much more.

Speaker 7 (01:36:59):
Like the guy also mays be like really sensitive and
like able to connect and all that.

Speaker 4 (01:37:04):
But the very core of it, you gotta be a
manly man, got to have that blood.

Speaker 5 (01:37:10):
Do you have to be a man in whatever incarnation
that looks like for you. But I do think that
men are biologically wired to be protectors and women are
biologically wired to be nurturers.

Speaker 4 (01:37:21):
And that's controversial. It should also feel good, which it
does well.

Speaker 5 (01:37:25):
If you're with the right person, doesn't it make you
want to be all those things? I mean, if you're
with the right person in the right relationship, you want
to be the best version of yourself. And this is
if you can find someone that you bring out the
best in them and they bring out the best.

Speaker 4 (01:37:39):
In you, that is that's the secret sauce right there.

Speaker 5 (01:37:43):
Because I've been in relationships where at the end of it,
I was like, you know what, we don't we're not
good for each other. We don't bring out the best
in each other. We bring out the snarky sarcastic side
of each other that just it isn't fun. Mandy defind
mature girls may act older earlier, but boys have this
sense of survival and to provide younger learning by experience.

(01:38:03):
But will grant you helicopter parents have limited that as
of late. After a man holds the door for you,
says this Texter, and you walk through and there's a
long line, you then have to stand in do you
allow the man to go before you since he opened
up the door first.

Speaker 10 (01:38:20):
I do.

Speaker 5 (01:38:21):
If someone holds the door for me, I let them
get ahead of me in line, because that's kind and fair, Mandy.
Being a protector is more than just physical protection. There's
an emotional protection that goes along with this, correct.

Speaker 4 (01:38:35):
Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:38:36):
A woman once told me, you don't have to hold
the door open for me because I'm a lady.

Speaker 4 (01:38:39):
I responded, I'm holding it open because I'm a gentleman.
Well played, Well played, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:38:46):
After high school, I moved eighteen hundred miles away to
be on my own. My parents did the same in
their day, and that's you know, that's kind of what
going off to college is.

Speaker 4 (01:38:57):
It's kind of all of those things, Mandy.

Speaker 5 (01:39:00):
Girls mature sooner because men don't get their boobs until
they're in their forties.

Speaker 4 (01:39:04):
Ha ha, that's funny. That is very very funny, interesting article.

Speaker 5 (01:39:11):
Mandy Chuck is my toxic masculinity spirit animal. There's no
toxic masculinity in my husband, because I don't even believe
in that Ryan Edwards define toxic masculinity.

Speaker 4 (01:39:21):
Go, well, I think you know when you see it.
It's like pornography. You know it when you see it.
You know when you see it. Yeah, you know, man'splaining.

Speaker 8 (01:39:34):
Uh. I mean, we could go into a full dissertation
on the patriarchy, but I think you kind of know, again,
based on your life, and I'm not going to man
explain what the patriarchy is to you.

Speaker 4 (01:39:45):
Yeah, I think I think, like I said, you kind
of know when you see it.

Speaker 5 (01:39:49):
I I would say that for me, I probably know
as many powerful women that are horrible as I do
powerful men that are horrible.

Speaker 6 (01:39:59):
I think, so I kind of see that.

Speaker 8 (01:40:01):
I think that again, it's it's such a thing as
and I'll say it as a as a white male.
I have a lot of privilege. There is a lot
of privileges. The fact that there have been a lot
of breaks over the course of Uh, of course.

Speaker 4 (01:40:15):
So you only have your job because you're a white guy. No,
I don't think it's still it's not that, it's it's
just knowing.

Speaker 8 (01:40:23):
It's just knowing that like like it's just being you
can be aware of these things and simultaneously, you know,
just strive for better.

Speaker 5 (01:40:31):
Fair point, and now it's time for the most exciting
segment all the radio of the skyl.

Speaker 4 (01:40:39):
Of the day. All right, what is our dad joke

gluten out of something de glutians.

Speaker 4 (01:41:42):
Oh sorry. The act or process of swallowing.

Speaker 5 (01:41:47):
Is linguistically related to the word glutton, meaning someone who
eats excessively.

Speaker 4 (01:41:53):
I don't think I got a point at all. Okay,
what did you guess? Something? Surgical points?

Speaker 10 (01:42:02):

Speaker 4 (01:42:03):
To do its words.

who looks I mean, we were already expecting him not
to play this weekend against the Broncos future Denver Bronco Davante,
but he has informed the team that he would like
to be traded, and they were already considering and listening
to offers, so it looks like he might be on

(01:43:59):

ever happen.
