Speaker 5 (01:23):
Today on the blog. Here is my voter guide Al
Sharpton's history of stoking anti Semitism. Kamala's interview was not good.
Donald Trump won't do sixty minutes, and I have his
back on that. Donald Trump is coming to Aurora on
Friday about living to one hundred and fifty. Why are
people of faith saying they're voting homeless people now hurting

Answering questions like Kamala Ron de Santis slaughters the vice president.
Those are the headlines on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com.
So obviously I did not have anything on the blog
about Hurricane Milton. Now I realize that this is Colorado.

(02:40):
Hey Rod, how much of our weather is going to
be affected by Hurricane Milton.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
I can't wait to find out tomorrow on Weather Wednesday
with Dave Fraser. But I don't think go up.

Speaker 5 (02:47):
I'm guessing zero percent. I'm just gonna go out on
a limb and say, donut, zilch, nada. Nothing. That being said,
I have one foot you know here, My heart is
in Florida. When things like this happen, it is my
home state. I still have so many friends and family
who live there, and now I have a bunch of
people who have just transplanted to Florida from somewhere else.

(03:12):
So I have spent the last forty eight hours texting
and talking and making sure everybody has gotten their hatches
batten down, and those who can leave that are really
in harm's way have left. And I am very happy
to announce that a vast majority of the people that
I love and care about did the smart thing and
hauled ass as they say. The ones that are in
Tampa and Sarasota and clear Water on the west coast,

(03:35):
and then the east coasters are all ready to go.
But if you are the prayerful sort, we all saw
what happened after Helene hit. Now what I fear this
storm is going to do. And this is just me
speculating after many, many years of watching hurricanes as a Floridian,
and that is I think it comes across the state
pretty hard, and then it loops back up and then
it hits South Carolina. So that is what I'm afraid

(03:58):
this storm isn't is going to end up doing. I mean,
maybe there's a big, you know, jet stream push that'll
push it south, but that usually it kind of hooks
back up. So we'll have to wait and see what happens.
But this is going to be a terrible storm, just
terrible and a lot of people that either cannot afford
to leave, and that is just the facts as they are.

(04:20):
A lot of people don't have anywhere else to go,
and a lot of people who refuse to leave I
think are going to find themselves in a very bad
way when all is said and done. And this is
one of the things I told my transplant friends. I'm
like you think how bad can the storm be? But
what you don't think is how bad can the aftermath

(04:40):
of the storm be. And the answer is you really
can't imagine how bad it is. You really can't. So
say a little prayer. If you're a you know, spiritual type,
sen some good juju, whatever that looks like for you,
you know, just send up some prayers that people come
out of this okay, and that you know, I hate
to say it like this, that they don't lose everything

(05:01):
in this storm. This storm is going to impact Florida significantly,
not in the matter of destruction. But I had a
story and I didn't I don't think I put it
on the blog a couple of days ago, but I
saw it a couple of days ago about Florida's real
estate market and during COVID, when Florida was a free state,
everybody picked up and they moved to Florida so they

(05:21):
could live in a free state. But what they didn't
understand was these storms come not every year, and especially
not this size. This is a freakishly large hurricane in
both in size and intensity. It's a freakishly large hurricane.
But you have to worry about this every single year.
It's one of the reasons I don't ever want to
live in Florida again. I don't ever want to do

(05:43):
this on a regular basis.

Speaker 6 (05:43):
Again.

Speaker 5 (05:44):
It's very stressful, very stressful, and the homeowners insurance situation
down there is about to get really dire. And I
saw some legislators, maybe a congressman from Florida that was saying,
you know, we need to nationalize homeowners insurance, and I'm like, no,
because I choose not to live in a place with hurricanes.

(06:05):
I'm not going to pay for the people who choose
to live in where hurricanes are. I'm I'm not going
to do that. I do think we'll get to the
point where either home prices in Florida will absolutely crater
because homeowners insurance is so expensive. I mean, homeowners insurance
in some places in Florida off the ocean is six
or seven grand a year, and then I can really

(06:27):
imagine what it is on the ocean. I mean, I
don't know anybody anymore who lives on the ocean, but
I know people who live inland who are paying an
insane amount of money for homeowners insurance. So it's going
to be very interesting to see the long term impact
of this, both in damage and then in the long
term impact about whether or not there's going to be
any home insurance companies left to ensure in Florida. So

(06:49):
we kind of face the same thing here because of
our wildfire situation that I don't think is going to
get any better for the foreseeable future. We have too
much fuel in too many places that's ready to burn, right,
So I think we're kind of we need to look
and see what happens there, to kind of see if
they figure anything out about what to do, because I

(07:10):
worry about that, I mean, the entire homeowner home insurance
industry as houses get more expensive and houses get more
expensive to build and replaced, I mean, homeowners insurance in
order to just keep up is going to have to
go up. And that's very distressing, very very distressing. So
I wish the best for my Florida friends and family,

(07:33):
and I hope this storm doesn't do the kind of
damage that I'm relatively certain it's going to do.

Speaker 6 (07:37):
Now.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
On the show today, first of all, I want to
start because ballots are dropping. Do we know when ballots
are mailed? Hang on, let me do that real quick.
A Rod Colorado ballots mailed. Boom, I don't know. I'm

(07:58):
looking to see when ballots are mailed, and I don't
know the answer to that question. He just says to
be mailed in October. So let's see, starting on October
eleventh through October eighteenth, ballots should arrive twenty to fifteen
days before the election, depending on when the county mailed
the ballots and the postal service. Overseason, military voter ballots

(08:20):
were sent out September twenty first, So there you go.
So ballots will be dropping in the next three days
or so. That's when that begins. So I'm going to
try and remember to put my voter guide on the
blog every day. I also linked to Ross's voter guide,
and somebody asked me the other day, what or where
are you guys the same way? Do you differ? We
differ on some of the stuff we cover, but I

(08:41):
think we're pretty much lockstep. But Ross does a much
more thorough explanation of why he came to the conclusions
that he did. So if you want to do the
cliffs Notes version, you can remind or you can go
read Ross's version if you really want to know noodle
around some stuff for yourself and figure out what you
really want to think about it. So I just tell
you what I'm voting and why, and that's it, and

(09:03):
there you go. Coming up a little bit later on
the show at one o'clock, we have a filmmaker named
Michael Pack who is joining us this morning. And I
had forgotten about the Crown Heights Riots because I was
a child when they happened, and I learned about them later.
And if you don't know about the Crown Heights Riots,
you really need to watch this very short documentary by

(09:23):
the Wall Street Journal, and we're going to talk to
director Michael Peck today. It's called Get the Jew the
Crown Heights Riot, and you remember, you are reminded of
the role that Al Sharpton played in the anti Semitic
explosion in the Crown Heights neighborhood back in nineteen eighty
two or eighty three, I don't remember what year. And

(09:44):
I just watched it this morning, so very very good.
It's free. I put a link to it or we're
going to talk to the director at one o'clock today. Now,
we're also going to check in with Rich Guggenheim of
Games against Groomers. They had their rally last weekend. They've
had some really interesting developments, including the development that now
the gay community is trying to get everyone to shun

(10:05):
them because they have the nerve to stand up for
children when it comes to the medicalization of children who
may be struggling with their gender. So we're going to
talk to Rich and get a kind of an update
on what happened on Saturday and all that good stuff.
He's coming up at two o'clock. Now, we've got to
talk about Kamala Harris's interview with sixty Minutes. So I

(10:27):
didn't watch it last night. I got it this morning.
I put it on first thing, right, you know, right
out of the chute. I put it on and I said, Okay,
I'm just gonna listen to it all the way through,
and then I'm going to go back and if she
says anything substantial, I'm going to go back and I'll
grab that audio for the show. Well, I don't have

(10:49):
any audio for the show because I watched it the
first time and then I went back and I just
dropped it in to a few specific parts just to
go back and and sort of check it out, you know,
like maybe I didn't hear that right kind of situation.
You know what I'm saying, like, Oh, surely that's not
what just happened, but only to find out yes, yes,

(11:11):
indeedy that is what happened. Kamala Harris went and did
an interview with sixty minutes, and I think she thought
it was gonna be really easy, and it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
It was.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
Really really different. Now someone has grabbed I'll get to
that in a second. But this woman is an empty suit.
She has absolutely no ability to speak off the cuff

(11:55):
in a genuine and on his way. And I've talked
about my dislike for talking with presidential candidates in the
past because I don't like talking to presidential candidates because
they're all so trained to stay on their talking points
that no matter what you ask them, no matter what
you ask them, they will just give you the talking
points they want to get across. It's very frustrating and

(12:16):
very horrible. The only presidential candidate I have ever enjoyed
interviewing was Mitt Romney because Mitt Romney just listened to
the question and then gave you the answer, and you
could ask a follow up and he would give you more.
He would explain in more detail. If you ask, I mean,
it was just refreshing. This is exactly This Kamala Aaris

(12:37):
interview is exactly why I hate presidential candidate interviews. They're
all terrible, and she did it. I want to play
something that apparently last night there was a word solid
answer on Israel, but then sixty minutes apparently edited it.

(13:00):
So let's listen to what those sounded like. What it
seems that Prime Minister net and Yah who.

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Is not listening?

Speaker 7 (13:07):
Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted
in a number of movements in that region by Israel
that were very much prompted by or a result of
many things, including our advocacy.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
For what needs to happen in the region.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
Now this is the edited version. You heard the word salad.
This is the edited version. Just said, Prime Minister net
and Yah who is not listening.

Speaker 7 (13:38):
We're not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for
the United States to be clear about where we stand
on the need for this war to end.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
Well, I don't know if that. I'm gonna have to
go back and watch the whole interview again. By the way,
I put the interview on the blog, and I put
it there for one specific purpose, and that purpose is this,
There are a lot of people on the left who
will look at people who say I'm voting for Donald Trump,
whether they're enthusiastic about Trump or not, and then the
people on the left are like, oh my god, Jerry

(14:08):
gotta vote for him. It's such a liar. He just
negs leggs up. He's such a liar. Well, look at
Kamala Harris, and you're gonna tell me she's anything better
than Donald Trump. I mean she has lied about well noe,

(14:29):
let me walk that back. I don't want to see
she's lied because in twenty nineteen she told us what
her positions were while she was running for president. She
was against cracking, she wanted to replace private insurance with
Medicare for all. She held all of these positions that
she now wrote. She did not want to close the border.
The voter wall was ridiculous, it was absurd. So she

(14:50):
held all of those positions in twenty nineteen. Fast forward
to now, she now holds the exact opposite positions, And
at one point the interviewer asks her, Hey, you've held
all of these positions in the past, and now you
hold different ones, and she goes on this rambling answer

(15:10):
about how she has been vice president and she now
believes in building consensus, and now it's all about building consensus.
We're gonna we're gonna builds consensus. Okay, perfect, But in
order to build consensus, you have to have a set
of principles that then create a certain plan that you

(15:31):
then build consensus around. You say, hey, you know what
we need to do on the Southern Just give you
an example. I'm President Mandy right now, let me show
you how I build consensus. I say, here's my idea.
I would like to secure the southern border. I'd like
a physical barrier. I would like to fund border patrol
and give them the resources that they need. I'd like
to use as much technology as we need on the

(15:53):
Southern border to make that happen. And then after we
secure the Southern border, I would like to put the
smartest minds we can find in a room whom to
hash out some kind of immigration that makes sense. Reform right,
And if you disagree with this, talk to me. Let's
work it out. Let's figure out where the differences are.
You don't want to build a wall, Okay, great, why not?

(16:14):
You don't think it'll work. Great, Why not? What do
you want to do instead? You want technology? Okay, great,
that's and then you start working with what people need,
what people want, what they are afraid of. But you
gotta have some kind of something to lead from. This
is the frustration, the same frustration that I feel when
people tell me that they are teaching little children in
elementary school instead of teaching them phonics, they're teaching them

(16:37):
critical thinking skills. Well, in order to be able to
think critically about something, you have to have a knowledge
base from which to, you know, like springboard that critical thinking.
This is the same thing he did not explain at all.
And if I had been the interviewer, I would have said,
mad and Vice president, can you walk me through the

(16:58):
evolution on your position on medicare? For all five years
ago you were for it, now you've said you're.

Speaker 8 (17:06):
Not for it.

Speaker 5 (17:07):
What happened? What specific who was in your ear to
make you go from this is a great idea to
it's not walk me through that, just one single you
know issue, Just walk me through that. But she gives
this garbage answer about being vice pres She doesn't explain

(17:27):
any of those evolutions, and it's just you know, I
don't think she's stupid, but I don't think she's highly intelligent,
and I don't think she thinks well on her feet,
and I think she's so programmed and that's how she
comes across. And I just don't understand the same way

(17:51):
people on the left cannot possibly understand how I could
vote for Trump, And trust me, I get it because
I kind of feel the same way. But she is
just an empty vase, an empty vessel, and I don't
trust her to run the country. That's what it comes
down to. I don't want vibes in the White House

(18:14):
when China is attacking Taiwan. I don't want joy in
the White House when the Huthis are firing missiles at
our naval vehicles. You know, I need someone that I
feel like is going to do the right thing, and
I don't get that from her because I have no
idea where her values are pointing, no clue. Can't even

(18:39):
begin to imagine it was. It was terrible, and you
know how terrible it was. It was so terrible that
even the left wing networks are just not talking about it,
just not talking about it. And there you go. I mean,
that's where we are I want to play this very quickly,
and I'm playing this cold because this is all over

(19:02):
conservative Twitter. She went from an interview on sixty Minutes
to the hard hitting panel on the view and this
is she was asked if she would have done anything
differently than Joe Biden over the past four years, and
this is what she said.

Speaker 7 (19:17):
Back, Well, if anything, would you have done something differently
than President Biden during the past four years? There is
not a thing that comes to mind in terms of
and I've been a part of most of the decisions
that have had impact.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
Well, so she wouldn't have done the Afghanistana withdrawal differently?
I mean nothing, nothing at all. Good lord, you guys,
Good lord. Mandy Kamala did grow up with green grass
in her yard. How could I have forgotten that? In
middle class she did? She grew up in a middle

(19:57):
class family. Mandy, that interview this night reminded me of
Clint Eastwood interviewing the Empty Chair years ago. Mandy, have
you ever changed her mind? Was listening to other people?
Maybe her opinion has changed because she actually maybe listened
you and Ross today. Wait a minute, text her, I'm
not saying that she can't change her mind. I actually
respect people who come out and say, you know what,

(20:19):
I got this new information, I changed my mind. What
I'm asking is, I'd love for her to explain any issue,
any issue, how her mind was changed, what testimony she
heard from, what individuals that made her change her mind,
Because you guys, I have changed my mind on the
death penalty multiple times. I've been real open about my

(20:42):
own flip floppiness on the death penalty. But I can
tell you why I changed my mind each time I did.
That's all I'm asking for. And if she can't do that,
she's sure as hell should be president. You can hit
it up the Common Spirit Health text line at five
sixty six nine oh five sixty six nine ozho. I

(21:02):
would love to know VR text line if any of
you watched the interview last night. I didn't watch it
last night. I got it this morning and watched it
on YouTube, So uh, I'd like to know if you
watched it or if you've just seen the snippets. And
if you have seen the snippets or watched it, I
have a question what policy positions did she articulate last

(21:26):
night in any way, shape or form.

Speaker 6 (21:29):
At all?

Speaker 5 (21:30):
In any way, shape, or form. There was nothing, nothing
of substance. Like if you said to me, Manny, I
want you to do a show on thermo nuclear physics. Now,
I'm gonna be perfectly frank. I don't know that much
about thermo nuclear physics, but I know enough of the
words that I could probably blather on for at least

(21:50):
an hour about thermonuclear physics without actually saying anything. And
that's what happened last night in this interview. So text
me your thought five sixty six. N I know if
you saw it, this texter, said Mandy. At least she
went on sixty minutes. Trump chickened out. Trump has yet
to have an interview with someone who could challenge him.

(22:11):
She's a lawyer who is trained to avoid committing herself
unless she has to. I know, I was married to
a lawyer for eighteen years. She still has to work
with Biden. Trump has changed his position every other week.
Totally biased analysis. Sad. Trump lied eighty times in a
sixty minute debate. You're a very poor judge of character.

(22:32):
My point is your team is not any better. Like before,
you hurt yourself trying to get up on your moral
high horse. Let me just knock your stool out from
under you. First of all, this is a candidate that
received zero votes in a primary. She was elevated because
she could get the money that Biden had already raised. When,

(22:52):
after I don't know how many years we talked about
the fact that the president's mentality was failing, the Democratic
Party had the option of running an actual primary, running
a primary, allowing Democratic voters to choose their candidate when
it was clear that Joe Biden was no longer mentally
capable of doing this job, especially not for four more years.

(23:13):
But that's not what they did. They shut down any
kind of dissent. They tried like hell to run Joe Biden.
They knew what was going to happen in the debate,
and when he absolutely failed, instead of admitting defeat because
he had already gotten all of the primary votes, they
just threw him aside and decided on another candidate that

(23:33):
no one voted for. If that that is okay with you,
then you really don't care about democracy. You really do
not care about our entire system of elections traditionally up
until this point, and now you've got a candidate who's
held every position but has not explained any of the changes.
Spare me. I mean, that's just ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous. Didn't

(23:58):
watch it, just listen to you. That's a smart person
right there. I watched there was this, Texture says. By
the way I watched, there was no substance of policy
discussion because she has no policies. She's running for president
on sound bites and prepared statements that were created by
her speech writers. That is, that is a one hundred
percent right, one hundred percent right. She talks as if

(24:22):
the answer is so obvious, but then never gives an
answer that is also correct. So uh, Mandy, I thought
she grew up in a very wealthy, privileged household. The
father is quite wealthy. No, she grew up in a
middle class household. I don't know where you've been text her.
Everybody was really proud of their lawns. Her mom's best

(24:43):
friend was a small business owner. I mean, we've heard
this problem over and over and over again. Her father
may have been rich, but her parents were not together
when she was growing up. So yeah, Mandy, are you
forgetting that she and Joe were just following Trump's plan
for Afghanistan? Mm hmm, not quite, Ralph says, Harris hasn't
changed her mind. Whoopsie hasn't changed her mind. She's a

(25:05):
Marxist and lies like she breathed anything to obtain power. Anything, Mandy,
this is Steven Firestone. I'd like to see Trump on Friday.
Do you know how or where to get tickets? Now,
let me just say this. I know that the event
at the Gaylord Rockies is going to be ticketed. I
do not know where to tell you to get those tickets.

(25:26):
I would reach out to the Colorado Republican Party, although
if Dave Williams is in charge of any of this,
don't expect anyone but his minions and cronies to get
in there with him. So we can suck up to
the guy that he refused to support in twenty sixteen and,
by the way, never explained why he changed his mind.
That lady is cuckoo. Trump gets challenged every day. Definitely

(25:49):
delusional saying Trump is what Harris is, Mandy. I don't
think Kamala told us anything last night. I can't stand
the fake rich pay their fair share narrative. Don't love Trump,
but can't see voting against my own best interest. You guys,
can we just talk about that? Because she said that again,
I am gonna make the billionaires pay their fair share.

(26:09):
You guys, what doesn't any interviewer ever say, okay, what percentage?
What percentage of the income of billionaires should they pay?
And I think you know, when the American people hear
her say fifty percent, sixty percent, will that be illuminating?
Because really, when you go to the just seek out

(26:30):
any of these men on the street interviews where they
ask about tax fairness, right, and they start telling people
the percentage of overall taxes income taxes that they're rich,
the very rich pay. Last time I looked at it
was forty seven percent they paid for. The top one
percent pays forty seven percent of the income taxes, the
top ten percent pays like ninety percent of the income taxes.

(26:54):
And when you tell people that, they're like, wait a minute, what, yeah,
So why don't any of the interviewers ever ask these people, Okay,
what's the percentage that you're looking to pay? Because I
ask it to people all the time, Well, the rich
should pay their fair share? Okay, great, what percentage should
they pay? And they start saying twenty percent, thirty percent.

(27:15):
They don't even know they have no idea. It's absolutely insane, Mandy.
You have to go to Trump's website for tickets. There
you go. Donald Trump, by the way, doing a rally
here on Friday at the gay Lord Rockies because nothing
says town end to kay like a gorgeous hotel like
the gay Lord Rockies than it is gorgeous. I am hoping,

(27:37):
and I've got Danielle Drinsky coming on the show on
Thursday to kind of preview what's coming. I really hope
that she and Mayor Mike Kaufman can let the Trump
campaign have some clarity on what's actually happening and what
was happening in Aurora, and that the entire city has
not been taken over because it is not has not,

(28:00):
And at this point we don't know that any apartment
complexes are being compromised. They were when it all bubbled up,
but not now.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
Not now.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Trump doesn't pay any taxes, says this person. And he's
smart for doing so. Right, If I could mitigate my
tax liability down to zero using the tax code, you
better bet your sweet bippy I would, And if you didn't,
you're stupid. Anybody that is like, you know what, I'm
just going to pay way more taxes than I owe,
because that's the right thing to do. Did you know

(28:29):
there's a little line that you can actually make a
donation to the Treasury on your income taxes. How many
of you text her? Do you do that every year?
I would never evade taxes. I would never do anything
illegal to get out of paying taxes that I owed
fair and square. But if I could, using the tax code,
which is overly complicated, get my tax liability down to zero,

(28:53):
I'd do it every year, one hundred percent. And that
is what rich people who have giant tea teams of
accountants and tax professionals, this is what they do. They
have an entire group of people whose job it is
to get their tax liability down to zero. And I
don't care. I really don't. If you're mad about it,

(29:13):
then start supporting the fair tax. If you're mad about it,
then start talking about the fact that the tax code
is so complicated by design, so large corporations and very
rich people can use all of those laws in the
forty thousand pages of tax code to pay zero. If
you're unhappy about it, then work with me to change it,

(29:35):
but don't get mad about it, and then act like
you wouldn't do the same thing if you had the
same resources. That's nuts, Mandy. That has always been my question,
what is the fair share of definition? And the next
time somebody says that, I'm telling you, ask what percentage
of their pay they should pay? Ask what percentage? Most
people have no idea. Even the word salads.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
Weren't that good?

Speaker 5 (29:58):
Says this texter. She's losing it. Well, part of it
was that the interviewer was actually pressing her on it.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
I mean.

Speaker 5 (30:09):
He was, he was really sort of It was not
a softball interview from CBS. Oh, by the way, to
the person who said Trump ducked out on sixty minutes,
I actually have audio on why he's not doing sixty
minutes and this is Donald Trump. Well, you know what,

(30:29):
I got to take a break.

Speaker 6 (30:30):
You're gonna have to stick.

Speaker 5 (30:31):
Around and hear it when we get back. Donald Trump
actually addressed this issue, and I have his back. Let
me play that for you.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Go ahead.

Speaker 6 (30:41):
CBS is saying that you have pulled out of a
planned interview on sixty minutes.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
I'd just like you to address that report.

Speaker 9 (30:49):
And if you indeed are not doing the interview, explain
your recenting why well, right now.

Speaker 10 (30:55):
I went to They came to me and would like
me to do an interview, But first I want to
get in a pot because the last time I did
an interview with them, if you remember, they challenged me
on the computer. They said the laptop from Hell was
from Russia, and I said it wasn't from Russia, it
was from a Hunter. And I never got an apology.
So I'm sort of waiting. I'd love to do sixty minutes.

(31:15):
I do everything.

Speaker 5 (31:16):
I mean, I do you right now, right, and you're
tough for the sixty minutes.

Speaker 10 (31:21):
Frankly, the laptop from Hell was from Hunter, it wasn't
from it, so I haven't gotten. If you remember, Leslie Soul,
we got into a little bit of an argument on
the camera talking about that and other things, and.

Speaker 6 (31:35):
You know they really owed me an apology.

Speaker 10 (31:37):
I'll tell you David Muhr, how about David Muir when
he said that crime went down? So I like to
get an apology. So I've asked them for an apology.
Let's see if they do it. I wouldn't mind doing
sixty I've done sixteen minutes a lot. I did sixteen
minutes twice with Mike Wallace, the great Mike Wallace, he
was great. His son is from a different ballpark. The
son doesn't have I said, you want to be like

(31:57):
your father, just don't have the talent.

Speaker 6 (32:00):
Who else?

Speaker 10 (32:00):
Boss?

Speaker 5 (32:01):
And that is Donald Trump explaining why he doesn't want
to do sixty minutes. And I gotta tell you, he
kinda has a valid point. And this morning I went
back and I looked into the Leslie Stall interview and
she kept saying the laptop can't be authenticated, except the
New York Post had already authenticated it. It was the

(32:24):
New York Post that did the first initial story that
was then completely throttled by all of the social media
outlets at the best of the White House. And in
that interview, she kept pushing back, and he kept saying, Nope,
it is Hunter Biden's laptop. And instead of saying it
was authenticated by the New York Post, but we have
not authenticated, she tried to make it seem like it

(32:44):
was rushing disinformation. He's got a point. I mean, here's
the thing. Should a journalist who got it wrong do
they have a responsibility to go back and say I
got it wrong, I got it wrong, and I'm sorry
I will tell you. I mean, God knows, I have

(33:06):
thrown myself on my own petard here on the show
multiple times for telling people to get the vaccine over
and over. I'm like, jeez, look, I was just based
on the information that I had at the time, I
thought I was doing the right thing. So yeah, uh,
pathetic excuse says this text, he is so thin skinned
unfit for office. You've got to be kidding me. I mean,

(33:29):
you genuinely have to be kidding me. The guy's standing
there doing a press conference, something Kamala Harris still refuses
to do, and yet I'm guessing she's your candidate, Texter.
I just don't understand, now, don't get me wrong. Like here,
I am, I am now in the position I actually

(33:50):
feel pretty. I'm not gonna say superior to people like
that texture right there, because I'm gonna assume, and I
don't know if that text is actually gonna vote for
Kamala Harris, but I'm gonna assume, based on the consistent
texting that this person sends because they don't have anything
else to do between noon and three, that they are
going to vote for Kamala Harris. And I am feeling
a sense of moral superiority right now, because I am

(34:13):
still slightly horrified that I have to vote for Donald Trump.
And yet I'm gonna vote for Donald Trump, but I
have the decency to recognize what a flawed candidate he is.
And yet people on the left are trying to sell
me a giant, steaming pile of crap and tell me

(34:33):
that it's chocolate syrup. It's like you guys, So yeah,
at least I know my candidate sucks even before I
vote for him. But man, the other side, Wow, the
other side is not so self aware. Never, never, never,
does Trump ever apologize for being wrong. No, but he's

(34:55):
not a journalist. I mean, really, do you think that
a politician is the same in that situation as a journalist.
Everybody expects politicians to lie, because we as a society
have rewarded that behavior over and over and over again.
But we're supposed to think that journalists are truly unbiased.
And the only way to prove that you're unbiased is
to admit when you are wrong, instead of just moving

(35:18):
the goalpost, which is what happens over and over and
over again. All Right, when we get back, we're going
to talk about a new documentary on the by the
Wall Street Journal Company, and we're going to talk to
director Michael Pack. It is a very interesting twenty three
minute documentary about the Crown Heights riot. If you don't
remember it, we're going to get into that next.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
accident and injury lawyers.

Speaker 2 (35:43):
No, it's Mandy Connell, Many.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
Condamne through.

Speaker 5 (36:00):
Many Toronto Key sad Base. Welcome, Local, Welcome to the
second hour of the program. And I am very pleased
to have with me filmmaker Michael Pack. He's the producer
and director of a new short film It's about twenty
three ish minutes long, what's a Wall Street Journal entitled
Get the Jew the Crown Heights Riot. And I was

(36:21):
telling Michael Pack off the air that I as I
was watching his documentary this morning, actually I was sort
of became really aware of how little I knew about
the Crown Heights riot. And I was a young teen
when it happened, and we didn't have the twenty four
hour news cycle. But it was almost a little embarrassed
because it's this is a really serious thing that happened,

(36:43):
and yet it seems to have just been I don't
want to say forgotten, but maybe shoved under the rug
a little bit. Michael Pack, first of all, welcome to
the show.

Speaker 6 (36:54):
The thank you, thank you for having me on.

Speaker 5 (36:56):
Well, tell my audience what this movie is about.

Speaker 6 (37:01):
Well, it is about what is, in fact, the worst
anti Semitic riot in American history, which happened in Crown
Heights in nineteen ninety one. And we did make the
movie because I think many people have forgotten it. It's
the first in a series of documentaries that my company
is doing with the Wall Street Journal Opinion section, and
the purpose of them is to tell stories that have
been neglected, forgotten, or misreported at the time and that

(37:25):
are newly relevant. And this one certainly fits that bill,
but we planned to have several out every year, year
after year. It so parallels what other leftis Center periodical
has been doing, like the New York Times op docs
or The Atlantic or The New Yorker. So this one
tells the story of this horrible anti Semitic riot, and

(37:46):
it began on a hot August day in nineteen ninety
one when in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, which
was a neighborhood which had once been all Jewish. Many
of the Jews left for the suburbs, and now by
nineteen ninety one it had been only one small sect
of Hasidic Jews, Sabob Lebovich, remained. They were surrounded by

(38:06):
poor black people who and resentments that were on the rise,
and whipped up by a certain amount of black nationalism
that was in the air, Lewis Vara Kount and others
talking about Jews being responsible for the slave trade, Jews
being almost another species. And into that mix came a
horrible event. On that August, the had rabbi of this group,

(38:31):
Rabbi Schneerson, was coming back from a visit to the
cemetery where his dead wife was buried, and he had
a motorcade. He had a police escort in that car.
It was a three car motorcade, and the police car
first went through it. His car went through, and his
assistance car ran either a yellow or a red light
and tragically hit another car, careened off that car and

(38:52):
hit two young black children playing in the street, and sadly,
tragically one of them died. But it was clearly an accident, right,
you don't hit a car on purpose to hit another
k to hit a kid, but it was right away
perceived as not an accident. The Jews get away with everything,
and a instigator, Charles Price, whipped up the crowd and

(39:12):
they went brought in for the neighborhood. And three hours
later they found another Hasiitic man, Yankle Rosenbaum, and they
said there's one. There's the Jew, get the Jew, hence
their title, and they beat them and stabbed them and
he died in the hospital. And then the next day
of the riot. Riot went on from there and people
came from outside like Al Sharpen. The crowd was whipped up.

(39:36):
And the real tragedy, I think is that the media
misreported it, and then the mayor and the police chief
let it go on for three days before they ended it.
And it wasn't until they themselves were attacked and they
turned to their own deputy police chief, Ray Kelly, finally
told them to end it, which he could do in
three hours.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
And that was the part that was the most surprising
to me. And I knew so little about this that
Mayor Dinkins, David Dinkins was the mayor at the time.
He really just kind of took a hands off approach
to that. Has anybody ever asked the mayor after he
left office if he had any regrets or if there
was something he would have done. Has he ever reflected

(40:16):
to your knowledge in public about his inaction during that time.

Speaker 6 (40:23):
He's been asked about it. I mean he's now deceased,
of course. I mean. Our film is in addition to
being based on the reporting of Eli Kaufman, a Wall
Street Journal opinion reporter, it's also based on the Jiugenti report,
which Mayor Cuomo had done, and to be thousands of
people and it's sort of the definitive look at the riots.
And they talked to Mayor Dinkins and Mayor Dinkins's there

(40:45):
was a rumor the police at the on site felt
they had They were told, you know, let them vet,
you know, don't take any action, and the police largely
stood around for three days. Mary Dinkins has always denied
saying that, and it's not clear that he did. But
what he didn't do was tell him the opposite. He
might not have said let them vent, he probably didn't,

(41:06):
but he didn't take or direct as police chief to
take aggressive action for three days, which I think is
in a way more or less the same thing. I mean,
so I don't know whether he were or I'm not sure,
you know, I hope he did.

Speaker 5 (41:20):
The notion of letting people vent. We just did this
again in the Summer of Love of twenty twenty, right,
it was like, just let people vent, let them it
will make them feel better, and in the meantime we
do forty billion dollars worth of damage. Right, So that
whole let them vent thing only seems to go one way.
If you're protesting for the right side, and by right,

(41:40):
I'm putting that in air quotes, then you you're just venting.
But if you're protesting for the other side, then you're
a criminal who needs to go to prison.

Speaker 6 (41:50):
Well that's right, you know. I think that the George
Floyd riots for an example of that.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
The recent.

Speaker 6 (41:57):
Pro Haamas demonstrations in college campus are like that. I mean,
you know, they terrorized your students. They make it for
them feel unsafe, and the media reports it pretty favorably.
And then the heads of these colleges were not themselves
and anti Semitic, just like David Dingins wasn't. They can't
stand up to these students. They wait, they prevaricate, you know,

(42:19):
as we heard when they testified before Congress, and then
maybe finally in the en they act, but you know,
there's an unwillingness to stand up to violent or threatening
people on the progressive side. It's unthinkable that these college
presidents would have not responded differently with anti black or
anti gay's talks on their college campuses, and rightly, but

(42:41):
this one, this one they're afraid to take on. And
it's a terrible, terrible pattern, and I hope it doesn't
repeat itself. And that's one of the reasons to do
the film, so people recognize the pattern and kind of
and can make their elected officials break from it the
next time it happens.

Speaker 5 (42:57):
Tell me about the role of Al Sharpton in this.

Speaker 6 (43:03):
Well. We interviewed Al Sharpton, and one of my main
precepts is of filmmakers to be fair to everybody who
interviews me. I'm not very fond of interviews that in
filmmakers that make their interviewees look bad. So we want
to give Ol Sharpton a chance to make his case,
which I think we do in the film, but we
have other people who make the opposite case, and we

(43:24):
leave it to your viewers to decide, And the purpose
of these films is to tell these stories in a
straightforward manner with enough facts for viewers to decide. I'm
here talking to this so I may well express my
own opinions, but we wanted to leave it to viewers
to decide. And I think Al Sharpton makes a good
puts the best face he care on it. But in

(43:45):
fact he came in and surely others came in and
whipped up the crowd with a lot of the anti
Semitism current at the time, which was a lot of
this black nationalism stuff. You know, Jews were responsed for
the slave trade. Jews are you know, bankers are controlling
things in the world, and Jews are responsible for aparthod
in South Africa, and on and on and on. But

(44:06):
as we say, sometimes, you know, the film ends with
a more recent stabbing of a Jew in Crown Heights,
shockingly enough, where this time stabbed by a man saying
free Palestine. Do you want to die? So what had
been in Crown Heights Kyle Hitler and Hitler didn't finish
the job is now free Palestine or from the revert

(44:29):
of the sea. If it's accompanied by violence and stabbing. It's,
of course okay to criticize the state of Israel, but
it often veers into obvious overt anti Semitism, and that
has to be stopped.

Speaker 5 (44:41):
I thought that that was a very appropriate, full circle
kind of punctuation mark for the end of the film,
an unfortunate one.

Speaker 9 (44:49):
You know.

Speaker 5 (44:50):
I love those movies where there's all the happy endings
and everyone you know, learns from their mistakes and then
they all have dinner together and maybe sing Kumbai Yah.
But that's not real life, Like this is a documentary,
and I want to talk about documentaries just as a
group right now, Documentaries, this is something I always try
to let people know. They all have a point of view.

(45:10):
Right when you, as a documentary filmmaker, start tell me
about the starting proposition for this particular film, What was
it you were trying to do, and how were you trying.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
To do it.

Speaker 6 (45:24):
I think it is true that all documentary filmmakers have
a point of view, but I think the most the
clearest way they expressed their point of view is the
stories they choose to tell. We did a documentary in
twenty twenty about the life of Clarence Thomas called credit equal.
Clarence Thomas in his own words, it was on PBS,
on Amazon, elsewhere. We chose to tell his story, and

(45:48):
many many filmmakers had chosen to tell the Ruth Bader
Ginsburg story. And I think that's fine to have both
stories out there, but if you only have left of
center filmmakers, they will only tell one kind of story.
So yes, we have our perspective, and I actually think
it's important to have documentary producers with a variety of perspectives.

(46:08):
Like many parts of the media, the documentary world is
dominated by the progressive left, and one of the reasons
we're working with the Walls General Opinion Section is to
get these stories that have been neglected by that part
of the media out there. And as I think I
mentioned to you before we began, we also have an
incubator program to train young or up and coming and
all have to be young, right of center or at

(46:30):
least non woke filmmakers. And because they're just not enough
of them. There are a huge number of talented progressive
filmmakers telling their stories their way, which I think is
their right, and I salute them when they do it well,
but we need more on airsides. We have started this
incubator program and any one of your listeners can go
to our website and click apply. We're open to the

(46:52):
next class. The first class of four has just finished
their first war films. So it's the beginning of a process.
It needs to be way bigger, but I think it's
a start, and we need to get our stories out
there from the point of view that we have. But
I think whatever your point of view going in and
everyone you are right, Mandy has a point of view.
Good filmmakers still try to have multiple points of view

(47:14):
in their film and not treat their interviewees, you know,
not make the most stupid, not suppress their views. Sometimes
they do, sometimes they don't. It's very hard for listeners
and viewers to tell. I mean, that's why we tried
to be fair to Al Sharpton, whose point of view
was not ours.

Speaker 5 (47:30):
I think you were more than fair to Al Sharpton.
After watching I was like, dang man, I just like
I said, going back to my happy endings in my
fairy tale ends. And I would love to live in
a world where someone would be able to say, yeah,
I was wrong, I really shouldn't have done that, you know,
in hindsight, in retrospect, I have deep regret over that,

(47:51):
but we don't really either allow it, I guess in
our public figures, or they are too afraid of the
repercussions to actually do that. I wanted him to do that.
I wanted some variation instead of people said there were this,
people said there was this, but oh no, that wasn't mine.
I was in. I couldn't say it was a lot
of I'm just going to say I was not impressed

(48:12):
with the testimony, and I think that you treated him
very fairly, perhaps more fairly than I would have treated
him in a similar circumstance. What is coming up, because
you're you're going to do a whole series of these
for the Wall Street Wall Street Journal Opinion page.

Speaker 6 (48:25):
Right, that's right. We hope to do several, you know,
four or five every year, year after year. The next one,
which is coming out either at the end of November
the beginning of December, is called The Prime Minister Versus
the Blob, and it's about the shortest lived prime minister
in British history. This trust was prime minister when the

(48:45):
Queen died, and she feels she was done in by
their version of the ministrative state or the swamp, which
they call the blob. She feels she just had the
politically incorrect views. She was sort of a thatch right
and they were sort of Keensian at least my policy,
and she was pro fracking and energy and not net zero,

(49:06):
and so she feels she was done in. So we
have her maker case, and other people who don't agree
with her, as as is our pattern here, make their
case and viewers can decide. But I think that Mandy,
it's particularly instructive to look at this kind of issue
from a different perspective, from the British perspective. We're used
to thinking about our fights with the administrative state here

(49:28):
and thinking of it as unique, but to see it
in the British context, I think cass light on our
own dilemma.

Speaker 5 (49:33):
The big question is will the documentary be longer than
her actual tenure as Prime Minister, because that's a pretty
low bar to set there, Michael, that is that is
fascinating to me because I when when all that happened,
it was like it was, it happened with such whipsaw
speed that I knew there was more to the story.

(49:53):
So I'm very interested to see her view on what
actually happened, and I highly recommend I put a link this.
This documentary, Get the Jew the Crown Heights Right is
available now for free, and I put a link on
my blog where you can just click through. It's twenty
three minutes long. It's not even not even a whole
sitcom episode, and it is so worth your time, especially

(50:15):
if you, like me, were not paying attention as closely
as you should have at that point and didn't really
know much of the story. Michael, I appreciate you doing
what you're doing, and I appreciate you bringing the perspective
from my side of the aisle to the screen. And
you're right, we need to do much much more of this.
So I hope young filmmakers continue to reach out about

(50:36):
the Incubator, and we definitely need to talk before the
next one comes out.

Speaker 6 (50:42):
Absolutely, thank you very much.

Speaker 9 (50:43):
Man.

Speaker 5 (50:43):
All right, that's Michael Pack with Palladium Pictures and his
new documentary on the Crown Heights Right. Very very very good,
very good. So please watch that, and again you can
link to it on the blog, and I also put
a link to Palladium Pictures. If you know someone you
would like to make a documentary from a right leading perspective,
have them apply for one of these grants. That is

(51:05):
probably the best way to do that. I shared all
of that on today's blog. Al Sharpton's history of stoking
anti Semitism is the headline on that one. So now,
you guys, we got a lot of stuff to talk
about on the blog. Blog. I just said on the
blog instead of the blog. One of the things that
I have on the website today, this story is interesting

(51:30):
and it has to do with polling data. The Cultural
Research Center at Arizona Christian University. They studied about They
studied Christian voters, so I'm not quite sure the methodology
behind this, but they did a bunch of interviews and

(51:51):
just over half of the interviewees in a Cultural Research
Center at Arizona Christian University study who identified as people
of faith responded that they are likely to vote in
the presidential election between Trump and Harris. The people of
faith label is given to those who identify with an
organized religion such as Christianity, Judaism, Mormonism, or Islam. The

(52:16):
study found that approximately one hundred and four million people
under the people of faith umbrella are not expected to
vote this election. That includes forty one million born again
Christians and thirty two million who regularly go to church.
And I don't understand this. I mean, I really don't

(52:40):
understand it.

Speaker 1 (52:42):
Now.

Speaker 5 (52:43):
The president of Arizona Christian University said that he thinks
he's just guessing here, he'spitball in here. He said, Christians
could be the deciding factor in a bunch of federal
and state races and are choosing not to be. And
he says, second, and this is the part I want
to talk about. They are longing for their local church

(53:04):
to instruct them on how to think biblic biblically about
policy and politics. They don't want to be told how
to vote, he continues, but they do want to know
why they should vote and how to view political issues
from a biblical framework. The research says some of the

(53:26):
reasons that Christians are not planning to vote include a
lack of interest in politics sixty eight percent, a dislike
in both major party candidates fifty seven percent, and a
belief their vote won't make a difference fifty two percent.
A smaller but still sizable portion forty eight percent believe
that the election results will be manipulated Now, wouldn't that

(53:50):
be a cook just a kick in the teeth if
all of the Donald Trump, Dave Williams, Tina Peters the
election was stolen and up with a bunch of Christians
who may or may not have gone ahead and voted
for Trump. Although at this point I don't know what
he's giving them what wouldn't it be kind of funny

(54:11):
if that's what ended up happening. He lost for because
Christians stayed home. I just think that that's very, very interesting,
And I'm wondering if any of you who are regular
church attendees does your does your do you get? Do
you talk about politics at the pulpit? Does your pastor

(54:34):
your reverend, your priest, you're a mom? Do they talk
about political issues from the pulpit now at a time
when church attendance is declining. If I were a pastor
or a reverend or any of that stuff, I don't
know that I would want to dip into a conversation
about politics with my congregation. But is it okay to

(54:59):
talk about the various policies that are being pursued. I'm
curious as to whether or not that's happening. You can
text me five sixty six nine. Oh, that's five sixty
six nine. Oh, so we will make sure.

Speaker 6 (55:20):
You guys.

Speaker 5 (55:20):
Some of the text messages are just borderline crazy and
not like, oh my god, you're so crazy, that's so funny,
I mean just crazy. Case in point. See you and
Trump's back in office because he is your vengeance, he's
your retribution. He will make sure Laurence so Donald will
lose his show. Bill maher will lose his show. All

(55:40):
the people you don't like will lose their shows. That's
all you want, no offense. But I don't even think
Laurence o'donald still has a show. I mean I'm looking
it up right now. I think he got canned a
long time ago. And I happen to really like Bill Maher.
So I'm not quite sure where you're going with this.

(56:04):
Uh oh, no, he still has a show? Oh does
he have a show? Wait? Does he? Hey, Rod, look
up MSNBC's evening lineup real quick so I can find that. Yeah. No,
I mean I don't know if he still has a show.
Laurence o'donald still have a show?

Speaker 3 (56:23):
No?

Speaker 2 (56:23):
Is he shows eight to nine?

Speaker 1 (56:25):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (56:25):
Well, there you go. That's how much I care about
Laurence O'donald's show the last words. I thought he got
canceled already for real, And I love Bill Maher, So
I'm not sure what you're going after their Texter, Mandy.
Our pastor does not speak about politics, and this Christian
will be voting for Trump, even though my vote won't
count here in Colorado, Mandy, as Mormons do, but not

(56:46):
necessarily at service, Mandy. There's a belief in the Christian
community that God is going to pick who God is
going to pick, and that'll be the right person through
there's no need to vote because God's hand will be
in it. Oh come on, you know. That's like the
old joke about the guy in the flood and he's
on his roof and a guy with a rowboat comes
by and says, come into the row boat, let me
save you. And the guy says, nope, nope, God's gonna

(57:08):
save me. God's gonna save me. A little while longer,
a guy comes by in a bigger boat says, hop on,
I'm gonna save you from drafton. The guy goes, nope,
God's gonna save me. It's all fine, the water's coming up.
And a little bit later helicopter shows up, drops a
rope down, Get on the road. We're gonna save you,
and the guy goes Nope, God's gonna save me. Guy drowns,
goes up to heaven, looks at God. He's like, God,

(57:28):
why didn't you save me? God's like I said, two
votes in a helicopter. We got a lot of text
messages weighing in on this question about whether or not
churches are advocating, not necessarily for politicians, but for policy.
How do you vote on policy positions from a biblical perspective?
That's what people are asking. A lot of Catholics weighing in,

(57:51):
I mean a lot. Two weeks ago at Mass, my
husband and I were shocked how the priest didn't not
come out and say who to vote for? In his
homily clearly implied Trump. First time we have ever experienced
this at a Catholic church. Mandy, thirty seven year old here.
I can't tell you how many Christian friends don't vote

(58:13):
for exactly what that last texter said. God's in control.
We are not of this world. Values never aligned, so
I'll never vote on and on. Meanwhile, I believe we
are a voice for God here on earth. Just like
your rowboat story. We are called to act, to not
just sit back and watch the plan unfold. And you know,
I always think of the line, you know, render unto Caesar?

(58:37):
What is his now? It's in the Bible, it's about taxes.
But isn't that also kind of an admonition to be
a good corporates just be a good citizen, not corporate citizen,
but citizen. Don't you have a responsibility to care for
the country that you live in, the state that you
live in, the county that you live in, the town

(58:57):
that you live in. Don't you have a response ability
to participate in that? And I realize that when you
live in a huge country with so many, hundreds of
millions of people, it's easy to make the excuse, my
vote doesn't count, what does it matter? But ultimately, especially
in local races, in state races, those matter a lot.

(59:18):
And I think that a lot of people are offloading
their civic responsibility and doing it in such a way
that makes it seem like they're just God fearing, when
in reality, I think they're just being lazy. You're not
voting for the leader of your church, You're not voting
for someone to marry your son or daughter. So the
fact that your values don't align one hundred percent totally understandable.

(59:41):
But ultimately those people are going to have sway over
several things that can impact you. Number one, we saw
what happened during COVID. They shut down churches. The Democratic
leadership in this state shut down church services. So if
going to church and exp an instant fellowship is a
part of your life that you enjoy, remember that when

(01:00:03):
you vote. There are people in Colorado that not only
want to codify abortion into the constitution, they want to
make you pay for it with your tax dollars. If
you find abortion to be especially objectionable, then you need
to vote. You know the things that happen to your community,

(01:00:24):
they matter, and I think you have a civic responsibility
to make as informed a decision as you can make.
And if you don't know about something, if you don't
understand something. Although I'm saying this to an audience that,
by its very listening habits, have demonstrated themselves to be
more highly educated about the issues than a vast number

(01:00:44):
of other Americans. But if you meet someone who says,
you know, I just I don't know about that slaughterhouse ban.
I just don't then don't vote on that, vote on
the things that you are making educated decisions about. Your
votes are going to count in those other races. You
don't have to fill out the whole ballot if you
don't want to. It would be nice if we could
add a no confidence option to elections, and no confidence

(01:01:10):
simply says, I hate all these choices, but I want
it known that I'm not voting, not because I didn't
understand it, but because I hate all of these choices,
and I want you to go back and get more choices.
And then if no confidence wins, everybody has to go
back to the drawing board and just say, Okay, we're
gonna come back with something better. I love the no
confidence option. We don't have it here. We should because

(01:01:32):
you imagine what this what this upcoming presidential election would
look like if everybody in this country had the option
of voting no confidence. Wow, Yes, Mandy. Many churches have
been warned by Democrats that they will have their tax
exempt status revoked if they support candidates. They can put
signs up on issues. But my pastor was threatened for

(01:01:55):
endorsing a pro life candidate. I do think that there
is a fine line to be walked there. But I
also think there's nothing wrong with imparting your religious values
to your congregation and saying when you vote, I wish
you would keep these values in mind. I don't think
there's anything wrong with saying that and then not actually

(01:02:17):
explicitly endorsing a candidate. A lot of you were saying,
my church is doing stuff not during the main sermon,
not like on Sunday services, but they're having kind of
breakout groups where they talk about the ballot from a
biblical perspective. So seek that stuff out if you were
a person of faith. Yeah, yeah, Mandy. Unfortunately, the church

(01:02:41):
I tend doesn't dive into politics. However, lately they brought
up how bad social media can be, how we shouldn't
be so offended all the time, and how men need
to embrace their masculinity. Oh, that's what I'm talking about.
Those are all things that matter. I'm just gonna say
it very coded language about how your church feels about

(01:03:03):
certain candidates. Remember the people on the left, Do you guys,
remember when Barack Obama took over, we were in the
Great Recession. It was still a disaster. Everything was awful.
There were so many foreclosures, and the line from the
left wing was, well, this is just the new normal,
this is just how things are now, and we were

(01:03:24):
just supposed to accept that, like, oh okay, the good
times are over and now it's just all all downhill
from there. And I laughed at that. Of course it's not.
This is not the new normal. Our economy is dynamic
and it can be vibrant again. It just get government
out of the way. And guess what happened. That's what happened.

(01:03:47):
We finally got a great economy again under Donald Trump,
and then COVID hit and it was, you know, again,
federal government spending, extending the misery. But that seems to
be the thing on the left now about manhood masculinity.
If you noticed, Doug em Hoff is the new face
of masculinity. Tim Walls, with his overly emotive face and

(01:04:08):
his folksiness, that's the real masculinity. Except it's not. They're
gonna try and convince us, But just like they didn't
convince me that that economy was the new normal, I'm
not going to buy into their new definition of manliness.
Not doing that. Mandy. I've always wondered how Catholics can
be Democrats with their stance on abortion. You know, I

(01:04:30):
don't know a lot of Catholic churches will refuse to
give the Eucharist in communion or refuse to give communion
to pro abortion or pro life or pro choice. I
couldn't get the right word there, pro choice Catholics, but
many churches just kind of look beyond that, which is
kind of sad, kind of sad. Render unto Caesar unless

(01:04:54):
you've got a great tax accountant who can find all
the loopholes for you. A'bs a freaking lutely one hundred percent, Mandy,
why are you so worried about the church vote. I'm
not worried about the church church vote. It was an
article that I was doing in the last segment that
was showing that about forty nine percent of Christians, according
to this poll by a Christian university, we're not planning

(01:05:15):
on voting, and as a voting block, that can be huge.
And in a race, you guys, this race is so tight.
If anyone tells you they know who's going to win,
they're an idiot. This race is so tight, and polling
over the last ten years has been so bad that
I do not think that you can possibly say with
any certainty who's going to win. And so, when you're

(01:05:38):
in a situation where it's so tight and the polls
keep going back and forth, every vote matters. And ostensibly
a lot of these Christian votes would have gone to
Republicans if they were actually going to vote, and this
is something that the Republican Party especially needs to address.
Want to move on from the story about Christian I
will tell you the text line. Actually I'm not because
I want to read a few of these and then

(01:05:58):
we'll move on in the next hour. Mandy, I'm a pastor.
I do preach about pro life and other issues, and
I preach God judges nations as well as individuals. I
do not endorse candidates, but I trust my lay people
to be smart enough to figure out where the candidates stand.
So perhaps, Mandy, our pastor's pastor uses scripture to point

(01:06:24):
out current events. Remember how much Jesus loved the children.
Reminds us of that Jeremiah one to five. Before I
formed you in the womb, I knew you, Yeah, Mandy.
I don't know if you've seen the article out there
about Doug m. Hoff apparently smacking the silly out of
his girlfriend on the red carpet in cons France. Megan

(01:06:45):
Kelly is pursuing that story a lot on her show.
I saw the story.

Speaker 6 (01:06:50):
I just this is.

Speaker 5 (01:06:54):
Let me just think about how to say this, whether
or not it's true, and you know, it seems to
be well documented. She has back up. Whatever, Let's just
say it is true. Let's just concede the point that
it is true. This happened before he was mister Kamala Harris,
so to hold her responsible for that would be unfair. Now,

(01:07:17):
it would be nice if anyone forced them to address it,
as they're the Party of Women. But it's political dirty pool,
you know, it's this is This is one of the
reasons Chuck and I joke that I can never run
for office because once they once they figure out my
dirty laundry, which isn't that dirty, then they'll open up

(01:07:37):
his closet full of skeletons and it will be off
the races. So I trying not to get into too
much stuff that happened before he was mister Kamala Harris.
You know, now more stories are coming out that he's
a bear to work with, that he doesn't treat women
fairly in his office, and again, it would be nice
if questions would be asked about that. But after last

(01:07:59):
night's sixty minutes interview, I doubt there's going to be
any difficult interviews going forward. I just don't think it's
going to happen. Mandy, So, why is God punishing the
people of Florida? Why did God punish the people of Georgia?
Would you have thought? Would you have would have to
think God is pissed at people? I wonder. I don't

(01:08:22):
even know what you're trying to say there, but the
implication is is that a hurricane or a tornado, or
fires or any of that stuff is God's punishment. And
I don't subscribe to that version of God. I just
don't and I would not presume to know what God
was thinking. That drives me crazy when someone says, oh,

(01:08:42):
God is so angry, How do you know? Do you
have a hotline? Because if you do, can you share
with the rest of us? Because I've got questions. Of
course you don't. That's when people weaponize God, and I'm
not down with that.

Speaker 2 (01:08:55):
I don't buy it.

Speaker 5 (01:08:57):
I think that all over the world people face challenge
every single day as a way of developing their character
and making them stronger and better people. Sometimes maybe to
thin out the herd. But I don't think God, in
whatever you know, incarnation you believe in God, I don't
think God is up there like with some risk board
in front of him, like you know what, those people
ticked me off. I'm gonna go ahead and send some

(01:09:18):
hurricanes that way. Florida is getting hit by a hurricane
because Florida is a peninsula that sticks out right into
the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic, and that is
where hurricanes are going to hit. That is why Florida
gets hit by a hurricane. I mean, it's really that simple.
So anybody who says that, come on, come on anyway,

(01:09:41):
Mandy last comment, You're absolutely right, Mandy. There should be
plenty for us to win on on policy alone. And that,
my friends, is what we're talking about when we get back.
First of all, we're gonna talk to Rich Guggenheim. He
is coming in to talk about their rally and some
of the stuff that's going on with gays against groomers,
and then more fire pits burning down houses. A rod,

(01:10:02):
do you have a fire pit, yes, We're gonna talk
about that later this out. Now we have double to
talk about. We're gonna do that next.

Speaker 1 (01:10:10):
The Mandy Connell Show is sponsored by Belle and Pollock
Accident and Injury Lawyers.

Speaker 2 (01:10:15):
No, it's Mandy Connell and.

Speaker 5 (01:10:18):
Dona ninety FM.

Speaker 3 (01:10:24):
Song got Way Scatty Can the Nicety Gray by Connell
sad Thing.

Speaker 5 (01:10:36):
Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the third hour of the show.
I'm your host, the aforementioned Mandy Connell from the song,
Anthony Rodriguez here as well, and Susan wickins air Horn
also in the studio with me. Now you know him
from his work trying to help children with gaye against groomers.
Rich Gougenheim, Good to see my friends.

Speaker 2 (01:10:55):
Thanks Nanny.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
Uh.

Speaker 5 (01:10:56):
You guys had a big rally on Saturday. Tell me
about that.

Speaker 2 (01:10:59):
Oh, the rally was great. Eight.

Speaker 8 (01:11:00):
We had quite the lineup of speakers. Jen Say with
x Y Athletics. Fantastic. She got to speak about this
from a female professional athlete perspective, as such a valuable perspective.

Speaker 3 (01:11:15):
We had.

Speaker 5 (01:11:18):
Let's see, who else did we have? Oh?

Speaker 8 (01:11:19):
Perhaps one of my personal favorites, because it was such
an emotional story, was chance or de transitioner talking about
the harm and the permanent damage that it did to
her body transitioning and why she as a trans person,
does not support doing this to children.

Speaker 5 (01:11:40):
We had also how old was she when she decided
to did you? I'm assuming she was a trans man
and now she is living as a female again.

Speaker 8 (01:11:48):
Yeah, so female transition to man and is now living
as a female again. But it does it causes irreversible harm.
You know, it's not and a lot of people think
it's the surgeries, but it's not. It's when you start
taking wrong sex hormones and you're injecting these chemicals into
your body and it's going to have an effect whether
or not it's good or bad.

Speaker 5 (01:12:09):
And it's a feature, not a bug. Well, they don't
tell you about all of the bad.

Speaker 8 (01:12:17):
Things that these chemicals can do to your body when
you when you're when you're doing it. And because if
they did that, they wouldn't make all the money off
of it, These big pharmaceutical industries and people like the
Pritzkers and the Strikers, right, so that's why they push it.

Speaker 5 (01:12:30):
And we also had Aaron Lee spoke.

Speaker 8 (01:12:33):
We had Adam Vina, who is a dad in California,
who lost the custody of his five year old son
for not allowing his ex partner to transition their son
yep at the age of three.

Speaker 5 (01:12:46):
God that that is. That is so upsetting to me.
And I see these it's always liberal moms, right, and
I'm trying to cast dispersions because I'm but I don't
know any writing people that are transitioning their three year old.
It's only people on the left, and they're usually people

(01:13:09):
I feel like their attention seeking themselves. They're living vicariously
through their child. They're upping their own status within their
community fashion excess. Yes, it's like when all the stars
were adopting children from Africa like they were new purses.
You know, it's like, those are children, those are human beings.
It's not there to satisfy you in the easiest place.
The best bargain on children was in Africa. I feel

(01:13:30):
like there's a little bit of the same thing here, yep.
And it's it's just mind blowing to me. At that age,
they're like, well, they know who they are. I'm like, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:13:36):
They also believe in the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus
and in the easterpending which, by the way, if you
have kids listening, are all real.

Speaker 5 (01:13:42):
Of course, I mean, duh, everybody knows that.

Speaker 8 (01:13:44):
God the kids are working on their letters to Santa.
But literally, this is what we're doing. We're telling these
children at these ages, and in the case of some
of these children, they're not even out of diapers, and oh,
you're just trances.

Speaker 2 (01:13:59):
I look at it this way.

Speaker 8 (01:14:01):
They are calling us this hate group, this FASc historyup,
this bigoted people, etc.

Speaker 5 (01:14:06):
And all of that stuff.

Speaker 8 (01:14:08):
To me, the most hateful thing that you can do
is tell a child that there is something wrong with them,
that they were born in the wrong body, and the
only way for them to live they're authentic, and I
use that in air quotes right being is to sterilize
and mutilate their body. That is the most hateful thing
that I can ever think of doing to a child,

(01:14:29):
is to intentionally lie to them, to cause them to
harm their body.

Speaker 5 (01:14:34):
This is not I am surprised, and you and I
have had such long conversations about this that I am
surprised that there is any there are any people left
in the gay community, whether gay men or lesbians, that
cannot see I think this movement is a movement to
eliminate gay people. They're going to surgically make you straight. No, Oh,

(01:14:57):
you can definitely talk about that as it get into this.

Speaker 2 (01:15:00):
Yeah, and I do.

Speaker 5 (01:15:01):
I tend to think that you are onto something there.

Speaker 8 (01:15:04):
But it's also really ironic to me that there is
another media outlet here in Denver, which I hope this
is okay. It was CBS, and it was the first
time that mainstream media actually platformed gays against groomers in
any kind of fashion. So we've been blacklisted by mainstream media.
But they actually came out and they did a story

(01:15:25):
and they interviewed on one of the protesters, who is
a minister of a church who affirms trans people.

Speaker 5 (01:15:32):
And I just think about, how can.

Speaker 8 (01:15:34):
You claim to believe in a perfect, all knowing God
who then turned around and made a mistake by putting
a child in the wrong body, right? And if you
believe in a God who's fallible, how can that God
provide you with salvation?

Speaker 6 (01:15:49):
Right?

Speaker 5 (01:15:50):
And I'm not even a theologist.

Speaker 2 (01:15:52):
I don't believe in on TV.

Speaker 7 (01:15:54):
Right.

Speaker 5 (01:15:55):
But the thing that gets me rich and I think
the best analogy for me is what we allow a
three year old to get a face tattoo, of course not.
You would never allow a three year old to make
a decision about tattooing their face. And maybe you could
even say, well, you can have a tattoo removed, but
can you have it completely removed. No, there's always going
to be that shadow left behind. And the notion that

(01:16:18):
somehow you can put your kid on puberty blockers and
everything's going to be fine, yep, is terrible.

Speaker 8 (01:16:22):
Well, it just shows that the whole logical fallacy of
the entire argument comes down to the fact that they.

Speaker 5 (01:16:28):
Will literally tell you that, well, that's who they are. Well, no,
it's not.

Speaker 8 (01:16:32):
And the difference between being gay and being transgender is
gay is an immutable characteristic.

Speaker 5 (01:16:38):
It is defined by genetics.

Speaker 8 (01:16:40):
I am a man, I have x y chromosomes, and
I am attracted to other men who have x y chromosomes.
Whereas they will literally tell you that your gender identity
is fluid and can change, Well, then it's not. It
is then if it is fluid and can change, it
is a mutable characteristic, and it is a belief that

(01:17:01):
this is who you are.

Speaker 5 (01:17:03):
Right, you're appreciing the choir on this one. I mean
you truly are talk to me about what's going on
within the gay community and gays against groomers. You guys
are running into a bit of trouble. I don't know
about if I would call it trouble. I feel like
maybe that's yes.

Speaker 8 (01:17:21):
So after the rally, you know, we had people from California,
and we had people from Wisconsin and Missouri, and we
decided afterwards we wanted to meet up and just kind
of have a few drinks and kind of celebrate the
fact that this was a fantastic This was a fantastic rally.

Speaker 2 (01:17:40):
It truly was.

Speaker 8 (01:17:41):
So we all decided we would meet up at Buddies,
Well Buddies this gay bar that's on Pennsylvania and Colfax decided, Well,
first of all, I'm sure your listeners are aware of
who Valdemar Archiletta.

Speaker 5 (01:17:53):
Is, a congressional district porn candidate. Friend of the show.

Speaker 8 (01:17:56):
Yes, So he was wearing his bedazzled Maga hat, very gay,
very fabulous, very demure and mind cold, and I was
wearing and the rest of us were wearing the red
hat that I have that says make gay bars gay again.
The bouncer and the owner of this bar decided that

(01:18:16):
they wanted to charge all of us a forty dollars
cash cover. And I looked at him, like, are you serious,
You're really going to charge us a forty dollars cover,
and he's like, yeah, it's forty dollars to get in.
I was like, I said to him, I said, I
haven't paid a cover like that since it was Pride
and I was trying to go to Charlie's the New
Year's Ever, right, and it was it was a Saturday afternoon.

(01:18:40):
So then we all looked at each other. It's like,
we're not paying this kind of ridiculous scene and we're
also so we stood outside and we started telling other
people for getting ready to walk in. I'm like, hey,
just so you know, they're charging a forty dollars cover,
and they all looked at us, like what, and I'm
like yeah, So if you go in and find out
that they're.

Speaker 5 (01:18:56):
Not charging you the cover, will you let us know?

Speaker 8 (01:18:59):
And we were told by other people that they were
not being charged the forty dollars cover.

Speaker 5 (01:19:02):
Oh it was the special MAGA. We got the black
only drinking fountain treatment.

Speaker 8 (01:19:11):
So anyway, we walked outside and while we were waiting
for the rest of our group to show up. I
decided to make this TikTok video that has now been
seen almost one and a half million times and been picked.

Speaker 2 (01:19:24):
Up quite a bit.

Speaker 8 (01:19:25):
This morning, in fact, US did a television interview with
a Canadian television station about this.

Speaker 5 (01:19:33):
So about the intolerance of the gay community, I did.
That's the thing that's yeah to me.

Speaker 8 (01:19:39):
It wasn't about any kind of self aggrandizement or anything
like that. It really was about drawing attention to the
situation because I want to hold the LGBTQ community to
the same standard that they are imposing on the rest
of us. Right, And it's a if you look at
this what they did to Masterpiece Cake Shop, right right,

(01:20:00):
they said, no, you have to be inclusive and and
you have to do business with us, and you have
to bake our cake. When they refused, the owners of
Masterpiece refused to make a wedding cake for a lesbian couple.
Then there's the website also here in Colorado.

Speaker 5 (01:20:12):
So if you're going to turn.

Speaker 8 (01:20:13):
Around and you're going to demand inclusivity and tolerance and
respect of others, you don't get to be the hypocrite
and turn around to deny that to the very people
who fought for your rights and your freedoms. We fought
as gay men to be able to come out of
the closet and live authentically as ourselves.

Speaker 5 (01:20:32):
And now they're going to.

Speaker 8 (01:20:33):
Turn around and say, no, you don't get to do that,
and if you don't conform, And that's why I'm calling
them these conformist cays, You're not welcome. And they're using
these dehumanizing and these villainizing terms to refer to us
as mega and as trash and rats.

Speaker 5 (01:20:48):
And also calling us a threat and dangerous.

Speaker 8 (01:20:52):
And I just want people to be aware that this
is the exact same language that Hitler and the Nazis
used to justify the ex termination of the choose.

Speaker 5 (01:21:01):
I've been calling us that. That's what they've been calling
us on the right for years. Rich Gubanheim, I'm very
glad amount of time. I'm like, I appreciate everything that
you're doing. I want you to keep it up, and
we're going to keep talking about it on the radio.
We'll see you next time, all right, We'll be right back.
Emails will be scheduled for automatic deletion when they are
more than two years old. I have a problem. I

(01:21:23):
currently have in my email box right now? No, no, yeah, bad, Yeah,
That's what I'm saying. I currently have in my Take
a guess. How many emails do you think I have
in my email box right now?

Speaker 2 (01:21:36):
Total?

Speaker 5 (01:21:37):
Just just take a guest, take.

Speaker 2 (01:21:38):
Us fourteen, five hundred and sixty three.

Speaker 5 (01:21:42):
M Okay, you want to try again with just the
unread items in my email box? Start with that higher
than where you just were twenty two and seventy four.

Speaker 2 (01:21:53):
Try again, little higher twenty five four and forty four.

Speaker 5 (01:21:56):
How about thirty six forty four unread emails in my
email box right now? Total email items in my email
box forty seven, eight hundred and seven.

Speaker 2 (01:22:05):
There are two kinds of people, normal people and people
like you.

Speaker 5 (01:22:10):
The problem is is I get so much garbage. I
get so many PR pitches, I've read so much stuff
every single day.

Speaker 4 (01:22:16):
What I'm saying is, every day, clear the inbox, go through,
check it all, and done with it.

Speaker 2 (01:22:22):
You need this. I don't. This is for people like you.

Speaker 5 (01:22:25):
I just feel like this is an attack on how
I do business in my email box.

Speaker 4 (01:22:29):
I mean, I have keep folders, I have schedule folders,
I have our zoom link.

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
I've got all these folders with things that are older
than that.

Speaker 5 (01:22:36):
No, thank you, No, No, I think they're just in
your inbox. You don't have to worry about if it's
in your full in your fold Oh wait, it is
going to be in your inbox. If you have emails
that need to be retained for a longer period, you
have the ability to designate them in a retained outlook folder.
Friday helped one pager on how.

Speaker 6 (01:22:52):
To do that.

Speaker 2 (01:22:53):
Well, if it's in a folder, I'll be all right.

Speaker 5 (01:22:55):
I don't know how to do that right.

Speaker 2 (01:22:57):
Well, you know, technology is hard.

Speaker 5 (01:23:00):
Well, you know, I feel attacked right now by heart media.
I just feel like somehow this is directed at me.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
It kind of is.

Speaker 5 (01:23:09):
I mean, maybe it is, Maybe it isn't. I don't know, Yeah, Mandy.
A lot of people weighing in on the fact that
they believe gays against groomers are a hate group, calling
transsurgery mutilations, saying the trans right as a movement is
an attempt to extinguish gaze. That's two reasons why they're

(01:23:31):
a hate movement or are they? Because when I was
a kid, there were girls that were tomboys. There were
boys that like to do things with girls, they like
to do girly things, and all of those people grew
up to be gay. Now, if you have a boy
who likes to play with dolls or likes to sew

(01:23:52):
God forbid, and maybe loves Taylor Swift or other girly things,
now people are gonna tell him he's a girl. You're
a girl. You're just in the wrong body. And instead
of allowing these kids to just grow up gay, they're
trying to eliminate them. I believe that, I truly truly
believe that to the person who just went thirty and

(01:24:14):
forty three, very close, but just a little low, we'll
be right back. Something just became apparent to me in
a series of texts that this text are sent about
gays against Gruomer's being a hate group. And in the
last text they sent they said, my son and many
others will not make it to eighteen if surgery is denied.
Except parent, I'm not trying to be mean here, I

(01:24:39):
am trying to help you because you have been sold
a bill of goods that actual research has not worn
out at all. As a matter of fact, the highest
suicide rates for trans people are twelve years after they transition.
You would you rather have a live daughter or a
dead son. Shakedown emotional s shake down from doctors in

(01:25:01):
the medical community is a crime. It's a crime what
they're doing to you. It's a crime what they're doing
to your son. It's a crime what they're doing to
your family. And if your child is struggling with gender dysphoria,
please get them incredible mental support. But the notion that
somehow surgery is going to make everything okay is not accurate.

(01:25:25):
You really need to read the Bass report or the
Cast report. Excuse me, read it. And that makes me
understand why you no matter what I say here, are
going to say the gays against groomers are a hate
group because you in supporting your child. And I don't
blame you for this. I'm a parent. If I was
told would you rather have a dead daughter or a
live son, I don't know what I would have done.

(01:25:47):
I really don't because you, as a parent, you love
your child more than anything in the entire world. I've
never loved anything like I love my kids, and I
love my husband. I love the crap out of my husband.
I've never loved anything the way I love my kids.
It's a completely different experience, and we want them to
be happy, and we want them to have joy, and
when they are struggling, we will do anything, anything to

(01:26:10):
help them feel better. But right now, the medical community
is selling families a line of goods that simply is
not born out. And the reality is is that if
your son pursues surgery, there's a really good chance thirty
to forty percent that he will live in lifetime pain.
He will never live without pain again. He will not
be able to reproduce, he will not be able to

(01:26:32):
achieve sexual satisfaction. He will essentially be a eunuch in
a cosmetically constructed female body. And it's terrible what's happening.
And don't get me wrong, if your son grows up
after the age of eighteen and he's an adult and
he decides to move forward with this, then that's his
choice and his responsibility. But he's old enough then to

(01:26:53):
understand the ramifications of all of this. And children simply
aren't able to understand it. You guys, they're not They're
not little adults their children. Their prefrontal cortex is not
fully developed. They don't have the ability to understand the
kind of long term thinking that we're talking about now.
But now I understand the text messages, and I have

(01:27:15):
a great deal of compassion for you and a great
deal of I don't know what I would have done
if I ran your position. I'm not saying I wouldn't
have done the same thing, but man, you need to
understand what people who've gone through this transition are saying
now about the experience. It's horrible, and those were adults
that made the choice. Not for everyone. I'm sure there's

(01:27:36):
people out there that live without pain. I'm sure, but
I just think the notion that somehow getting all the
accouterments of looking like a woman for many does not
give them the satisfaction that they initially thought that. Then
once you do it, you can't go back. You just
can for all of you people, my people, as I'm
going to call you sending me emails like this one. Hi, Mandy,

(01:27:59):
I'm on your side. I'd have sixty five thousand unread emails.
Thank you. These are my people. Are you ready for
this one? A rod unread emails in my inbox over
two hundred thousand.

Speaker 4 (01:28:11):
Please please not alone. I'm looking right now a big
fat zero, this person.

Speaker 5 (01:28:17):
Said, Mandy, because of your excessive email folder. We need
a new power plant. Yeah, okay, I apologize for nothing.

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
Yeah, you know what you have the problem.

Speaker 6 (01:28:24):
I don't care.

Speaker 5 (01:28:25):
I've often been the problem. Fifty three hundred and fifty
one unread emails, Yes, these are my people.

Speaker 11 (01:28:31):
Who's got the most so far? People have text over
two hundred thousand? Is there's not even anything one hundred thousand,
not even close? How do we function? Person how the
same way? I?

Speaker 9 (01:28:42):
Do?

Speaker 5 (01:28:43):
You just skim? You skim?

Speaker 3 (01:28:45):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:28:46):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:28:47):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:28:48):
Read no something?

Speaker 5 (01:28:50):
No, get help. I don't have that kind of time.

Speaker 2 (01:28:52):
Get help.

Speaker 5 (01:28:53):
I don't have that kind of time, Anthony. Just I
Actually I do have folders in my email box for
a brief moment in time. I hired this wonderful woman
as my assistant and she was fantastic. Right, but I cannot.

Speaker 4 (01:29:07):
Delegate insert Michael Jordan stop it. Get some help me
right here, please, Lord?

Speaker 5 (01:29:13):
But I can't. I can't. I can't delegate, and I
don't have time to go through all these emails.

Speaker 4 (01:29:21):
Well, now, no, you need what iHeart media is providing
to you, which is a cleanse. Well, I mean sometimes
I do do a mass elite. You ever do the
mass elite?

Speaker 3 (01:29:31):
No?

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):
Because I'm responsible. Some of us just do things differently.

Speaker 5 (01:29:35):
That's all.

Speaker 2 (01:29:35):
Yeah, right and wrong, and you are not.

Speaker 5 (01:29:37):
I'll take it. I don't care. I'm fine with it. Mandy,
I had twenty five thousand unread emails in mine and
just bit the bullet hit to lead all and it
was the most rejuvenating thing ever.

Speaker 6 (01:29:46):
Haha.

Speaker 5 (01:29:47):
But then they just start coming the next day, just
start start. I have one unread email, says this person,
but I'm gonna go ahead and read it. Now. Look
at you, you little show off texter, show off. Everybody's judging.
What do you think you have to have in Colorado
to be part of the one percent? Take a guess ay,

(01:30:07):
rid like a financial number? Yet your your your yearly income?
What does your yearly income have to be to you know,
be in the one percent in Colorado?

Speaker 3 (01:30:17):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:30:21):
Five million? Now more than that?

Speaker 5 (01:30:23):
No, way, less than that, way less way way. Wait,
this is a dirty little station about the one percent
in Colorado.

Speaker 4 (01:30:30):
You have to have an annual income income. No, no,
no no income no no no income income. I'm gonna
say somewhere between one and two million.

Speaker 5 (01:30:40):
Nope, no, eight hundred and sixty five thousand, seven hundred
dollars in the one percent. To be in the top
five percent, you have to make three hundred and twenty
nine thousand, five hundred and sixty six Not as high
as you would think. No, And I have a whole
list of what it takes because all states are different, right,
Like some states it takes a lot more in Connecticut.
Uh it's one point one five million, in Massachusetts one

(01:31:03):
point one million, California one point oh four million. Uh,
New York is hang on one second, New York is
nine hundred and sixty five thousand, six hundred and forty five.

Speaker 2 (01:31:14):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (01:31:15):
But the number to be in the top five percent
is an attainable number. Like what I see, nine hundred
and sixty five thousand. I'm like a who's gonna make that?

Speaker 2 (01:31:25):
Year?

Speaker 6 (01:31:25):
Right?

Speaker 4 (01:31:26):
The lowest top five, lowest top fos you can make
in the country to be in the top five percent.

Speaker 5 (01:31:32):
They have that broken out in a different way. So
hang on one second. I want to say West Virginia
is the lowest. Oh, hang on, I gotta do this,
do this, do this, Okay, Yeah, West Virginia, you only
have to be making four hundred twenty thousand, four hundred
and fifty three dollars to be in the top one percent,

(01:31:52):
and only one hundred and ninety three thousand, four hundred
ninety five dollars to be in the top five percent.
But don't you think that that sort of blows the
notion of the top one percent are uber rich? Because
when you say the top one percent, when Kamalirius is
the top one percent, the millionaires and the billionaires, they
need to pay their fair share, Well that seems that's
not like a ginormous number.

Speaker 6 (01:32:15):
It's just not.

Speaker 5 (01:32:18):
So Yeah, people are now saying, well, that explains why
I never get email responses lol from Jason. I do
read the listener's emails. I read listeners emails. You guys
cannot believe how much crap I get in my email
every single day. You just can't believe it. It's terrible,
absolutely terrible. I just thought this was kind of an

(01:32:38):
interesting way to demonstrate to people that all of this
tax the rich, these people are awful. The top one
percent need to pay their fair share. Everybody thinks you
have to be like a millionaire making you know, millions
of dollars every year. No you don't, You just don't.
So that is on the blog today anybody want to
get married on Halloween? Ayra, Have you ever known anybody's

(01:32:59):
got married on Halloween?

Speaker 2 (01:33:01):
No, but that sounds awesome.

Speaker 5 (01:33:02):
I have three different couple friends totally unrelated to one another,
who have gotten married on Halloween that I know.

Speaker 2 (01:33:08):
Did they dress up?

Speaker 5 (01:33:09):
Oh yeah, oh yeah, one of them.

Speaker 3 (01:33:11):
Know.

Speaker 5 (01:33:11):
One of them was will dress up in a costume?

Speaker 2 (01:33:15):
No, what's the point?

Speaker 5 (01:33:16):
Wait, wait, hear me out. No, no, well two of
them did. Two couples did wore costumes. Yes, they wore costumes. No,
hear me out. Problem with bride black wedding dress, like
full black wedding dress, giant bouquet of black roses. He
was wearing a long he's a tall, slender fellaw. He

(01:33:38):
was wearing a black suit with white pin stripes. Kind
of a little nightmare before Christmas. Little of that vibe,
little jack skeleton, you know, a little of that. And
then he had a top hat on, and they both
had on like very tail makeup, so they almost looked dead.

Speaker 4 (01:33:52):
Let me tell you something, yep, outside of direct family
or like best friend, if I got invited to those,
I ain't going.

Speaker 2 (01:33:58):
You ain't taking away Halloween from me.

Speaker 5 (01:34:01):
Well, no, they had a huge Halloween party as their reception,
Like everybody was in costume.

Speaker 2 (01:34:06):
Okay, tempted? Yeah, probably chances, by the way, have.

Speaker 5 (01:34:11):
Gone to none of these weddings.

Speaker 2 (01:34:12):
Well you got married Halloween, but they all got.

Speaker 5 (01:34:16):
Married before I met them, And then I found out
they got married on Halloween and I was like, really,
that's so weird, and they're like, no, we loved it.
And now they celebrate with a big Halloween party every
year for their anniversary.

Speaker 4 (01:34:26):
That'd be a good one where I ain't going. Yeah, yeah,
we can try to take Halloween from me. I'm not
taking anything people. I'm saying, anyone out there, let me go.
Won't you do on Halloween?

Speaker 5 (01:34:37):
It's I feel the same way about people who schedule
weddings during football season, Like who's your audience with that?
You know what I'm saying, Like, if you're young and
you just got out of college and you're going to
schedule a game on the same day as your college
is playing, that's just bad form. It's just not the
way to do it.

Speaker 4 (01:34:53):
Are you allowed to get mad at your guests being
on their phones watching the game.

Speaker 5 (01:34:59):
At the wedding itself? Yes, at the reception, no you
And at the reception, you should do the d and
put a TV in the reception. You should put a
television in the reception if you're going to do that,
but not at the wedding. You're not looking at game
on the wedding that's over there, unless it's a full
Catholic service, because that's like a two hour process of

(01:35:20):
getting married.

Speaker 4 (01:35:20):
Does anyone want to what's the phrase the priest asks
when they're getting married?

Speaker 2 (01:35:26):
Any reception, someone goes, yeah, oh, wait, oh, sorry for
a touchdown?

Speaker 5 (01:35:30):
My bad, my bad. By the way, people are asking
what are the movies that I've assigned you? If you
watched it? Did you watch Real Steel yet?

Speaker 1 (01:35:38):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:35:38):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:35:38):
Come on.

Speaker 2 (01:35:40):
Halloween season? Then I told you I have a month.

Speaker 5 (01:35:42):
I know it's spooky season. Anyway, Mandy, can you find
the number for the percentage of taxes paid by the
top five percent?

Speaker 2 (01:35:51):
What why you do that?

Speaker 4 (01:35:52):
By the way, yes, send another couple like hundred bucks
on another costume.

Speaker 5 (01:35:57):
Now you have three? What are you like hosting the
Austin this year?

Speaker 2 (01:36:00):
You're just gonna go back.

Speaker 4 (01:36:01):
In the room and change one. I'm not wearing any different,
you know, well one I'm not wearing and we keep costumes.
So I'm just gonna pocket it for another year. So yeah,
three costumes haven purchased for this.

Speaker 5 (01:36:11):
Okay, No, that's the old number. Let me get the
tax foundation. Okay, the twenty twenty four tax foundation. Let
me give you a little stats on that. The top
one percent income share rose from twenty twenty. I'm just
gonna give you the new ones. In twenty twenty one,
they made twenty six point three percent of the income.

(01:36:33):
The share the top one percent paid in federal income
taxes was forty five point eight percent. That was in
twenty twenty one. The uh, I don't have the top
five in this. Just as the top one percent, the
top fifty percent, top fifty percent paid ninety seven point
seven percent of all income taxes. The bottom fifty percent

(01:36:54):
paid the remaining two point three percent. So I don't know. Oh,
here we go. Top five percent had forty two percent
of adjusted gross income and they paid sixty five point
six percent of the total income taxes paid.

Speaker 6 (01:37:16):
So there you go.

Speaker 5 (01:37:17):
Mandy, my nephew is getting married on a Friday evening,
saving a ton of money. Yeah, a lot of people
are branching out like Thursday weddings, Friday weddings, Sunday brunch weddings.
Those are really nice. Ay, Ron, didn't you injure yourself
on Halloween last year? Text?

Speaker 3 (01:37:31):
Ass?

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Sure did?

Speaker 6 (01:37:32):
What'd you do?

Speaker 1 (01:37:33):
That was me?

Speaker 4 (01:37:34):
Every season? I dress up as a famous Halloween character.

Speaker 5 (01:37:37):
That's right, and terrorized kids.

Speaker 6 (01:37:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:37:40):
Yes, And I last year.

Speaker 4 (01:37:42):
Jumped into non moving, non moving vehicle to scare the
crap out of kids and then crawled through the other side,
lunged out onto the leg. Definitely thought I tore my
asy yell but you're good now?

Speaker 2 (01:37:54):
But I was you recovered? Yeah a couple weeks, probably
like a little baby sprain. So just some time, healthy enough.
I do hopefully not do it again this year. Yeah, yeah,
I think.

Speaker 4 (01:38:04):
Yeah, every year it's a famous Halloween character and I
scare the crap out of kids every year.

Speaker 5 (01:38:08):
So can we get a clue to like one of
the costumes?

Speaker 4 (01:38:11):
Oh well, the one on Halloween this year is again
going to be the one on Halloween Night? Is Michael Myers?

Speaker 5 (01:38:16):
Okay? Well classic?

Speaker 4 (01:38:18):
Yeah, yeah, that's always the go to everyone in the
everyone in the hood loves the Michael Myers. So that's
been It'll be like the third year in a row now,
and you know it's funny.

Speaker 5 (01:38:26):
The kids that you're scaring have no idea why you're
so scary, but their parents do.

Speaker 2 (01:38:30):
Yes, Oh, the parents.

Speaker 3 (01:38:31):
Oh.

Speaker 4 (01:38:32):
Every year they walk up, parents and kid, and the
parents look at me and they basically are begging, please
scare the absolute hell out of our child. And then
after I do it and just leave their child scarred
for life, the parent goes, that was awesome.

Speaker 2 (01:38:46):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (01:38:47):
All right, everybody, get one more thing on the blog
before we write this. Wrap this show up. By the way,
great video on kids needing chores. We got to talk
about that because that is something that I believe in.

Speaker 2 (01:38:56):
Pater unpaid.

Speaker 5 (01:38:58):
We've never paid Q for She has helped clean up
her room since she was eighteen months old every night,
and now at fifteen, her room is so clean it
will blow your mind.

Speaker 4 (01:39:09):
I think we're going to do a hybrid of what
we did and then a new idea, not pay per
chore like I had, but just you get an allowance yep,
general flat if you do all your chores correct.

Speaker 2 (01:39:20):
How in the middle.

Speaker 5 (01:39:21):
There you go. This is about race relations now versus
nineteen sixty. So the a survey company, a Harris Pole,
there was a nineteen sixties Harris Pool that was cited
by Martin Luther King Junior, showed that eighty eight percent
of white Americans would object if their teenage child dated

(01:39:41):
a black American. Additionally, nearly eighty percent, Now mind you,
this is from the nineteen sixties. Nearly eighty percent would
mind if a close friend or family member married a
black American, and fifty percent would object to having a
black person as a neighbor. So a new Service poll Connected,
canducted in September of this year, asks the same questions. Today,

(01:40:06):
it looks like this. Sixteen percent of white Americans would
be concerned if their child dated a black American, only
eleven percent would be concerned if a close friend or
relative married a black person, and only two percent would
be offended by having a black neighbor. Anyone who tells
you we have not made progress in this country is

(01:40:27):
just not paying attention. And don't get me wrong, that
eleven percent, that's sixteen percent, that two percent, you may
never change their minds, but everybody else we've moved on.
So let's stop acting like somehow we have not made
progress in this country because we have Mandy married on

(01:40:50):
Halloween is just another way to steal one of my holidays.
The sexter agrees with you, ay Rod Mandy. Every Halloween
I wear a gilly suit and wear drywall stilts. I
stand in the bushes and grab them from above and
they about die. Y'all are evil, evil Mandy going to casabanitas.
Eric Cartman on Halloween, well played, very well played. I

(01:41:12):
read all my emails, but never to lead them exactly exactly,
just saying let's do this. Who's playing? Who's playing? Today's
grant playing?

Speaker 9 (01:41:23):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (01:41:23):
Where's Ryan? Where's Ryan? I don't see him? Where's Ryan Edwards?

Speaker 9 (01:41:28):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (01:41:28):
Where are you today?

Speaker 1 (01:41:29):
What do you just?

Speaker 5 (01:41:30):
You guys are just out and about left and right.
You're like willy nilly. I'll just do the show from anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:41:35):
We are out and about. We are in Westminster today.

Speaker 9 (01:41:39):
We're at the Verizon's store here in nine three seven
million shared in Boulevard, so we're gonna be here. We
have the Broncos cheerleaders, we have Nick Ferguson, we Mouse mascot,
so all sorts of.

Speaker 2 (01:41:49):
Great reasons to come out and down to Verizon on
a Tuesday.

Speaker 5 (01:41:52):
Now I'm gonna say, Ryan, I've never heard you interview
the cheerleaders. I heard Ryan Ross interview cheerleaders, and now
I know that when he said he had no game,
he was not kidding. It was true, no game whatsoever. Anyway.

Speaker 2 (01:42:05):
Yeah, see, I have two young daughters.

Speaker 6 (01:42:07):
So I have two young daughters.

Speaker 9 (01:42:08):
So I imagine that at some level, you know, I'll
start throwing out, you know, words like sleigh and I'll
start you know, the slang, and that will very easily
let him know that I'm on the level.

Speaker 5 (01:42:20):
You know what you got, Riz, Ryan, You got Riz.

Speaker 2 (01:42:24):
Stop and now it's time, please, please.

Speaker 5 (01:42:26):
Time for the most exciting segment on the radio of
its time, the world of the day. All right, what
is our dad joke of the day? Please?

Speaker 4 (01:42:36):
