Speaker 5

Welcome, Welcome, WelCom to a Tuesday edition of the show. I'm your host for the next three hours, Mandy Connell, joined by my right hand man I call him and Rod you can call him Anthony Rodrigo. And together we will get you right through the next two almost three hours with I hope things that you will find interesting and yet also entertaining. Today we got a lot of stuff on the blog, and I'm seeing like four other things that I really want to talk about since I

published the blog, like in the last thirty minutes. So we're gonna get Today's just to be jam packed right now, though, I want to just do a little sidewinder because there's multiple televisions on in front of me, much to my chagrin, and there's showing video of the Delta flight that flipped and landed. So out of eighty people on board this flight, eighteen were injured and no one was killed, and that is an incredible testament to the crew inside that airplane

after that plane landed upside down on the runway. I just think that's absolutely incredible, and I hope that the crew of this airplane get there just to you. By the way, the winds were absolutely terrible, and I think I just told this story on the air fairly recently, where we were flying into Hartford, Connecticut in a similar situation and our wingtip nearly hit the ground when we

were landing. The scariest landing I ever went through. That's kind of what this plane did, only the wingtip didn't hit. The whole plane flipped. It's crazy crazy. I still would take driving, I mean lying over driving any day in terms of pure safety. Just to remind you guys of that. Now, let me tell you what's on the blog and where to find it. You can go to mandy'sblog dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look for the headline that says to eighteen twenty five blog a telethon for Warriors plus

Danielle Drinsky announces. Click on that and here are the headlines you will find within. I do you to where in office half of American all the ships and clipments of say that's got a press plat today on the blog Houses for Warriors needs your help. Daniel Durinsky has an announcement. Colorado GOP leadership does more dumb stuff. Speaking of stupid lawsuits. The latest on the King super strike. You really should watch the jd vance speech scrolling scrolling.

I can cut food waste in schools. The newest eight Z pod is alive. Democrats attack free speech in Colorado. Roseen on worthright citizenship. Two Colorado men give Florida man a run for his money. Your Colorado tax return won't be coming anytime soon. Everyone knew about trendy Orragua being in Aurora. Blake Street Tavern rises like a phoenix. A shocking inflation stat Lamar is now a foody destination. Everything is broken, Ford CEO says the quiet part loud about

EV trucks. Doctor Burks finally admits what we were all saying all along. A video of Rob getting his giant cardboard check a Rod's review of the new Captain America flick a real life Jonah. You had one job. Practical tools to fight anxiety, bad lip reading, the Super Bowl and making friends as an adult is hard. Those are the headlines on the blog at Manday's blog dot com,

and lots of good videos on the blog today. None more insane than the guy on the kayak getting eaten by a whale, and not like an orca, because that'd be terrifying, right, because orcas will blank you up, They will mess you up people. No, just a giant whale because the way whales feed you. Ever been on a whale watching towards you guys do that in Mexico. No, okay, let me give you a little whale lore, a little

whale backstory. When whales are hunting, maybe two or three whales together, they will make these cones of bubbles and they're big. They just swim around and blow bubbles, so it creates this sort of tornado of bubbles and fish get caught inside that tornado. Then they swim down and they just open up their mouths and swim through the tornado and catch a whole bunch of fish. It's amazing, absolutely amazing.

Speaker 6

Yeah, this one, let me just confirm, double check dot theiyes cross the teeth.

Speaker 5

No, this whale's name was not Moby. No, no, no sign that it was Moby. And but dude on a kayak gets eaten by a whale and then the whale's like, peh, what is that in my teeth and just splits them right back out. But you know what a rod I thought about this, This guy now has, for the rest of his life, pretty much the trump card in any situation where stories are being told. It doesn't matter what you say, It doesn't matter how exciting your story is,

how insane the ending is. This guy just gets to flow out the You know, one time when I was on a kayak, I got eaten by a whale and what worth a PTSD though probably not.

Speaker 7

You know what.

Speaker 5

He was only in there for like a minute. I mean, it's fine, it's fun inside another animal. No the moment.

Speaker 6

They have all these gills right here that you were inside and other animal mouth you were in the mouth.

Speaker 5

They don't even have sharp teeth. No thanks it. I mean, you know, come on, And obviously the whale was like did not see that coming? Like that's awful. So that's on the blog today, And I gotta tell you, if you don't go to the blog for anything else, just go for that.

Speaker 6

That whale has a taste for human now, and it doesn't like it.

Speaker 5

That's a taste for kayaks. You know, all he got was like plastic, Like, ah, what is that? What is this paper straw?

Speaker 6

No, just kidding, I'm waiting his review on one of the websites.

Speaker 5

There, Yeah, about how he tasted his Yelp review. Yes, so I have the kayaker and I found it to be really tough. It's not gonna lie. It was, yeah, salty and tough. Did not enjoy, would not try again. Zero stars. All right, what's coming up on the show today? We've got a couple of guests coming up. We've got Andrew Cannelly's with Houses for Warriors. This is such a wonderful and worthy organization. We're going to tell you about a fundraiser they have coming up Saturday and what they're

gonna do with that money. Then Danielle Darinsky is Aurora's city council member and she's gonna come on to talk about why she's running for reelection. And I've got a bunch of stuff about the Colorado Republican Party, but we're not going to get into it in the first hour because, frankly, ugh, I keep putting this stuff on the blog because I just want a change in leadership at the State Convention because the level of toxic nonsense being speed by the

current leadership cabal. And I put leadership in air quotes when I say that small l for sure is just it's it's just mind blowing. The money they're wasting, the victimhood status they're racing to achieve. Look, it hasn't ven victimized. Oh god, Oh my god. They're everything they purport to hate and more. So we'll be talking about that a little bit later later in the show. I do want to start the show with one question and you can

text me your answer at five sixty six nine. Now, did anybody else read the news media coverage of JD Vance's speech to the Munich Security Conference and think after reading the media coverage that you happen to stumble upon that he had gone to Europe and taken a giant poop on the floor of the Munich Security Conference and basically told all of our allies to go straight to HG double tooth fix and don't come. I mean, what

did you guys see? Because I, of course was vacationing with my family and I got a text message from a friend of mine who said, I'd love to know what you think of this. And this is a friend who is on the left, and we do this often. I'll send her a column and say I'd love to know what you think about this, and then she'll send me seven say I love to know what you think about this. And it was a column by Heather Cox Richardson. She is a former Miss America. She lives in Kentucky.

I'm very familiar with her just from being in Kentucky. But I want you to I want you to just listen to what was said about JD Vance's speech to the Munich Security Conference by someone on the left. Heather Cox Richardson is a reliable Democrat, Reliable, she says. The sixty first Munich Security Conference, the world's laiting forum for talking about international security policy, took place from February fourteenth

to February sixteenth this year. Begun in nineteen sixty three, it was designed to be an independent venue for experts and policymakers to discuss the most pressing security issues around the globe. At the conference, on Friday February fourteenth, Vice President J. D Vance launched what the Guardians Patrick Wintour

called a brutal ideological assault against Europe. Attacking the values the United States used to share with Europe, but with which Vance and other members of the Trump administration are now working to destroy. Vance and Maga Christian nationalists reject the principles of secular democracy and instead align with leaders

like Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orbon. They claimed that the equal rights central to democracy undermine nations by treating women and racial, religious, and gender minorities as equal to white Christian men. They want to see an end to the immigration that they believe weakends the nation's people, and for government to reinforce traditional religious and patriarchal values. That is

what is happening on the left about this speech. So, okay, I read that, and I texted her back and I said, well, I need to go read the speech. And I went and I read the transcript of the speech, and I was like, huh, I did not get the part where it was a brutal ideological attack. Yeah, I did not get that part at all. Because in the speech, which

is by the way, very upbeat, very positive, JD. Vanch calls Europe to the carpet for a few things, one for cracking down and censoring speech, for cracking down on free speech for censoring speech, for moving in the direction of totalitarianism when it comes to anything that they don't like. He also censored them for not including a political party

in Germany known as AfD. AfD is running on a platform of stopping the unfettered immigration of Middle Eastern men to Germany, to backing away from the green energy scam that now has Germany with the highest energy prices in Europe, and from doing a lot of the same things that Donald Trump just got elected to, which means, of course he's a neo Nazi to anyone on the left. They

don't actually look at the platform. They don't even look at the fact that the party is expected to gain enough seats in this next parliamentary election that they will be a significant player in the next ruling coalition. But they just want you to think that these are people walking around with armbands and swastikas and you know, goose stepping through the streets of Germany because they don't toe the European line, which is unfettered immigration of Middle Eastern

men of fighting age. Now the irony here is that the day before that this happened, a Syrian national drove his car into a crowded space and killed a woman and her two year old child and injured like thirty five other people. The Irony Nil Ferguson has a great column on the Free Press and it's fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

I want to share this one part with you. We also learned on Saturday that the British authorities have charged two hundred and ninety two people with spreading illegal fake news or sending threatening communications since the Online Safety Act came into force in twenty twenty three. A total of sixty seven have been convicted. I suspect Americans who live in a country with a First Amendment will be astonished

to learn the details. After three little girls were stabbed to death by a jihatist in Southport's last July, there will multiple cases brought against people for social media postings that broke the Online Safety Act. The government deliberately he suppressed the fact that the killer, Axel Rut Cabana, had been referred to the Anti Extremism Program PREVENT three times and was in possession of an Al Qaeda training manual

at the time of the murders. Yet people were jailed for claiming online that he was a Muslim immigrant jailed. One man was jailed for three months for a livestream video on TikTok that falsely claimed he was running for his life from rioters in Derby. In calling this out, Vance was saying more than just Britain and Europe have forgotten if they ever really understood the importance of free expression.

He was also making an argument about political liberty. Of all the pressing challenges that the nations represented here faced, he declared, I believe there is nothing more urgent than mass migration. No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants. I mean, you guys, if that is a what is she I can't remember exactly what she called a brutal ideological assault. Good gravy, you guys, Europe softer than I thought.

If this just brings them to their knees, if they're sitting there sniffling and sniffling at this security conference with security, are you kidding me? You're scared of the scary words. Scary words might hurt someone's feelings. I mean, do you want to live in a world? And I mean this genuinely do you want to live in a world where you have to go through life constantly worried about accidentally hurting someone's feelings for fear that they could bring charges

against you. Do you know what this does? This means that people will completely withdraw into their own trusted circles because they know their friends and their family are not gonna wrap them out. And as soon as they at the perception that someone else's other and could be offended by something that you don't even know is offensive, well, then other gets completely shut out as well. So it just serves no purpose other than to further divide people

into their silos where they can remain protected. And by the way, before I get the text message that says, you know, oh, the hate speech people hang out with the hate speech people, this isn't hate speech. This is normal speech where someone is definitely afraid of just offending someone else. In my lifetime, I know for a fact that I have offended people accidentally on more than one occasion, and when I realize it right away, I will immediately apologize.

If I think I'm wrong, and if I just was misunderstood, then I will do my due diligence to make sure that I can be clearly understood with whatever I was saying. I'm not gonna apologize if you misunderstood me. You know what I'm saying, Like those are two different things for me. I'll help you understand my intent, but I'm not gonna apologize because you mis misunderstood me. Never understood that at all. Mandy I listened to Vance's entire speech on X says

this text. I would encourage everyone to listen. I had no ideas some of the things he called Europe out on were happening. I felt better than ever of JD. Vance as Trump's VP and future potus. I will say this, Jade Vance. It just comes across and I embedded the video. You can watch it on my blog today. He comes across as a true happy warrior. You watch him. He's engaging. He comes across in such a way that even as he's telling you to go straight to hell, you're gonna

enjoy the ride. He's got great tact, really really good tact. But this is all stuff that Europe needs to do. By the way, for everyone who keeps freaking out every time Donald Trump does everything as if that is the endpoint of whatever's happening. The fact that they don't seem to be learning to just wait us, wait, see what happens next, because it happened again, and it happened again. Well, I'll get into that later. Actually, do we get in too that owl of a fish what I'm talking about here.

I am perfectly okay with the President and the Vice President asking Europe to step up to do a better job, to not declare an election invalid because you didn't get the result that you wanted. To allow people to criticize other people on the internet and not have someone knock up the door to come arrest them, to be able to post memes on Facebook that just might hurt someone's feelings. But you know, in the UK especially, they've never had

truth free speech. You've never been able to criticize the monarchy unfettered. You better have your ducks in a row, because as we've seen, the monarchy will sue back and they should be allowed to you. But whatever, Mandy will never go to Europe until this changes. I believe jd Vance will redefine the role of VP. You know what, Jimbo, here's the thing. If there are countries that I will not visit countries that are in the grips of a

totalitarian regime like Cuba. I know that Cuba was opened up and everybody wanted to go to Cuba, but I found out from Cuban people living in Florida that I know that their relatives were unable to buy food because all of the food was being taken to feed the tourists in the tourist areas. So the regime there could continue to enrich itself, and I'm not going to support that. But if I went everywhere that restricted speech more than we do in the United States of America, there would

literally be nowhere to go. We have the freest speech that I know of in the world. We have the fewest restrictions on what we can say in the world. That's why it's so deeply concerning and offensive that we have this push right now coming from the left to go after quote information and disinformation. When we get back, you're not even ready for the bit of uhns or

disinformation that I have for you. Remember doctor Deborah Burks, she was part of the COVID squad with Donald Trump, all those people who you know basically said you got to have a vaccine or you're going to lose your job when you hear what is coming out of her mouth. Now, my head almost exploded today. But I'm only playing it so I can get the apologies from all the people who said I was literally responsible for murder during COVID because I dared question the narrative and guess what, all

those questions that I had, I was right. And now they're all coming out to say it like so casually. Oh yeah, oh yeah, by the way, oh that whole COVID shot thing that wasn't based on science, but follow the science. That was the cry, follow this audience. We will be back with that and more right after this. Jd Vance has some dreamy eyelashes, and they just make him look like he's wearing eyeliner all the time. I don't think the man wears eyeliner. I really don't ask Ben.

I do just Ben wear eyeliner? I don't know, does he? I mean, you know what if everyone that we know that works in this building that was that's mail, I would say Ben is the most likely to have dabbled in eyeliner at some point. Maybe what about Ryan when he was a rock star? No, no, you don't think so. No, Ben's most likely. I mean Dave Logan out. That's not gonna happen.

Speaker 6

Nick Ferguson, No, no, gosh, no, no.

Speaker 5

No, I mean Rob Dawson. Maybe maybe we'll have to ask him. We'll have to see we're not casting aspersions. By the way, on let me share some stuff with you that I heard today that made me so mad. Remember back when the mRNA vaccine was put out, I was recommending it based on the scientific information that they released, not assuming at all that the company that developed it would just keep the really unflattering parts for themselves. But we were told that if you did not get a vaccine,

you were going to kill grandma. Remember that you were going to kill your grandmother if you did not get a COVID vaccine. And then they made mandates to where if you worked in certain positions, including over the road truck driver, you had to have a shot. And it created a huge kerfuffle. And even as I was saying I think you should get it, I was still saying,

but you should have the right not to. I've never been in favor of any kind of force vaccinations ever, even though I think some of them are a good idea. But doctor Deborah Berks was part of the team that pushed that narrative forward. I want to share her on the Piers Morgan Show, doctor Deborah Burks talking about the COVID vaccine. Do I have my audio? Thank you?

Speaker 8

He made it very clear to every mom out there that his children were immunized about childhood vaccines. And what we've done wrong in public health is we didn't explain that COVID vaccines were nothing like the childhood vaccines, and that the childhood vaccines, like many of the diseases.

Speaker 5

You get it once, you don't get it again.

Speaker 8

And this is getting the children to have that disease without getting the deadly consequences. That is not what the COVID vaccine was designed to do. It wasn't for designed to preget against infection. And if you look at the vaccine hesitancy rates, they've doubled since COVID.

Speaker 5

So we have to start addressing these things. We can't just take me ask you.

Speaker 9

I mean, given that you were the face of COVID from the Trump presidency at the time, do you share this doctor who was with you, share the concerns about the longer term negative impact of some of the COVID vaccines, the.

Speaker 8

Messenger RMA vaccine should have been rolled out for the people that were at risk for severe disease, because that's what the disease, that's what the vaccine was developed for.

Speaker 10

But when we.

Speaker 8

Say that we're following the science and the data, we need to follow the science and the data. And the science and the data said people primarily over sixty five are people with significant comorbidities, were at risk for severe disease. Those are the individuals that should have been immunized first, and we should have put our science behind our immunization schedule and protected those most at risk. It went into young people in hospitals before it went into our elderly

and nursing homes. That is not following the science and the data. So I am all four following the science and the data. But it shouldn't just be a statement.

Speaker 5

It should be a reality.

Speaker 8

And when we don't match what we do in public health to the science and the data, that is when we get into trouble, and that's when we start to fracture trust with the American people.

Speaker 5

I would say so, doctor Marks, I would say so. The frustrating part about this is that how many people were asking these questions. How many people were making these comments when this stuff was going on. We knew, we knew when the vaccine. By the time the vaccine came out almost maybe a little beyond that, that the real issue with COVID was going to be elderly people. And yet, do you guys know that the CDC, as a last time I checked, was still recommending a COVID vaccine for

maybes six months old and older. Did you know that? So the fact that she's coming out now, I mean, good for her. Maybe she wants to cleanse her soul. Maybe she wants to relieve herself of any sort of guilt or responsibility for what COVID and its aftermath did to this country, our children. We still have young people who are dealing with the effects of a pericarditis and myocarditis that I do believe they got from the vaccine

that is now being admitted. There's a connection. And the whole time we were told if you don't have the vaccine, Remember there were people on television that said, if you don't have a COVID vaccine and you get sick, you should be denied medical care at a hospital. If you don't have a COVID vaccine. I remember that, and that if you didn't get a COVID vaccine and someone around you died, it was your fault, because that was the only way we're going to keep it from straight stop

the spread. Let's review stop the spread policies. Stop the spread policy Number one stand six feet apart. We already know from doctor Anthony Fallci's own mouth that that was just pulled out of hoole cloth. There was no scientific evidence that that was ever going to work or do anything constructive for an airborne respiratory illness, which it was.

But hey, I know, let's throw in masking. Even though the government's own studies about masking in a healthcare syst sitting when you have a respiratory illness, a flu like respiratory illness as covid is had no effect. Doctor Anthony Fauci I remember him saying. I remember it so clearly. At one point he even said, you might want a double mask. They told people to make masks out of T shirts. Remember, everybody was sewing masks like we were

back in nineteen forty one. They were walking around with their homemade masks dripping off of their face, not actually providing any real coverage. I mean, the things that they told us to do, they just lied and if you didn't do them, then you were the one who got the stinki. Ugh, Mandy, please start calling the covid vaccine the covid jab It's not a vaccine, okay, But the flu they call the flu vaccine the flu vaccine, and it's the same thing. That's why every year you gotta

have a new one, the flu vaccine. I mean, you know, Mandy, I've been told all my life that my eyelashes belong on a girl. Face it some of us guys have finnaminon features, naturally. What should we do about it? Sex changes out of the question. Well, if I were you, I would be betting those eyelashes or whoever I wanted about them at I am not gonna lie. I've always at eyelash envy for anyone with great eyelashes because I do not. First of all, the same color as my hair,

like a light like a dirty blonde. Not good. And secondly, I don't have very many of them, so JD vance, I'm like, oh, JD. The eyelashes come on, Mandy. I wonder if the chickens who refuse the new bird flu vaccine will be fired. We'll see, we will see go from there. There's a whole bunch more by the way out about doctor Burks and some of the things that she has said. But think about all the people that lost their jobs because of this, Think about the people

that were cycled tout the military because of this. Think about all the people who lost their livelihoods because the government decided what was an essential business and was what wasn't COVID is I mean, I really really hope that as we get further away from COVID, we will look back with shame about two things. Number one, the people like doctor Deborah Burke's and doctor Anthony Fauci that let

us down a disastrous, unscientific path about COVID. And how willingly so many people were willing to throw every civil liberty out the window in fear. We are so easy to control. It's not even funny. And if you doubt it, just go back and look at the COVID years, because that should tell you everything you need to know. I mean, I have a friend who's much younger than I am. She's about thirty now, and so she was in her

late twenties. She had friends that didn't leave their houses for a year, people in their twenties who were so scared of getting COVID and dying, even though statistically there was almost no chance of them getting COVID and dying. And that is what we allowed the government to do to us. It's shameful and it's sad. Thank you for texting like this one. Don't forget the directional arrows on the floor at the grocery store. And I will never

forgive them for closing the twenty four hour grocery store. Yes, because COVID was only active at night, remember, And then and then the other thing we learned about COVID is you could take a restaurant and you could put a tent around some of the outside that was still enclosed. But COVID wasn't in the tent that was enclosed. It

was just inside in the restaurant which was enclosed. Remember, it all made so much sense, Mandy, We the people who didn't need the vaccine should start filing civil suits against Fauci and her. You know, we're gonna find out for many, many years, people that were damaged by the vaccine and I'm not ever gonna forgive myself for even

remotely waiting into that. That's why if I ever talk about medical stuff now, I'm gonna try and add a disclaimer of you know what I'm do, what you're gonna do, but don't do it because I said one way or the other. Super frustrating, But you can't get blood from a stone. I mean, you could take their fortunes, but it still wouldn't make it right for all the people that were actually damaged. Mandy. I can't tell you how many times I was confronted because I refused to wear

a mask. I got used to getting the stink eye, and I just didn't care.

Speaker 2

Mandy.

Speaker 5

I will have people to this day that won't come around me because I never got the vaccine. Unreal that people don't see this lie. You know, please feel free to share them, share with them the blog today and say hey, just to let you know, Yeah, it doesn't matter, it's all about you. If they had just said, imagine if they had said about the COVID shot. Imagine if they had just said, hey, guys, it's not going to prevent transmission. However, if you think that you're gonna get

really sick with COVID. You are more than welcome to get a vaccine, but that would have meant what They weren't going to sell enough of them. I don't know why they couldn't do that. I And that's kind of what Debra Burk's is saying now. And yeah, you talk about undermining public health. COVID undermined public health in a way that nothing else possibly could have at all. This texture just said, Mandy, I'm a guy with the best eyelashes.

That is not nice, not nice at all, Mandy. I don't know why, but guys generally have longer eyelashes than gals. Not every guy, trust me on this, not every guy, Mandy. COVID had multiple purposes that governments around the world use. Isn't that the truth? And a sad truth at that. Remember the video when they made masks out of women's song underwear. I think it was a joke. Any video

about making a mask was a joke if unintentionally. Young people that became hermits during COVID were nothing but narcissists, creepy, wilfully ignorant, alarmist, probably in many cases millennials, narcissist. So here's the thing, you, guys, when the news media that you trust is telling you that something is going to kill you and you're still at the point in life when you believe everything news me and it tells you with that unquestionably. And I think everybody's had that moment.

Some of us just snapped out of it faster than others. It was I could see why they would feel that way, But then it became wilfully ignorant. Then it became I'm going to keep wearing my mask forever. I was just on an airplane yesterday. You guys, flying in and out of Denver, when you get to any other place, you don't see any masks, But flying in and out of Denver, there's always those people on the plane with the masks on.

And every single time they pull their mask down to eat or drink, and I'm just like, what are you still doing? What? But hey, you know what, they can do what they want to do, as long as they don't expect me to do the same. Mandy, have you noticed a serious drop off in the ability of voice to text to actually do its job. I don't remember having these problems ten years ago. My Voice to Text now has started adding random pun punctuation in my voice

to text, and it won't even make sense. I'll say, hey, there, comma because I always voice my punctuation as well. My text was one like this, Hey there a comma. Ay Rod, can you make sure that this happens? And my They'll just put a period in the middle of the sentence for no reason, like what are we doing?

Speaker 4

Ah?

Speaker 6

Well, you know, I mean, if we can convert ben Albright to iPhone, which I just recently learned about, you can go to the superior side as well. Yeah, not just the other side, the superior side. It's fine, have a subpar phone, have issues all the time, It's all.

Speaker 5

Right, Hey Mandy. During the beginning of the pandemic, I admitted my wife to a nursing home, and when social restrictions took place, I was not allowed to visit her for two months she was there. Then the nursing home required my daughter and I to have proof of the COVID vaccine to be able to visit her for thirty minutes per week. My at the time employer literally paid me forty per vaccine shot. I made eighty bucks. Now I've been suffering from long term systemic inflammation from the

shots never tested positive for COVID. My wife has passed away since. But hey, you know what, at least Deborah Burks is admitting it now. I'm sure that's cold comfort. I'm so sorry about all of that story. That's terrible, absolute utely terrible.

Speaker 2

Mandy.

Speaker 5

I was a teacher, strongly encouraged to get the vaccine. I still ended up getting it and giving it to my own family. After that, I said, well, I can't read that last part on the radio. Nope, Mandy. And there were those eight inch knots painted on the floors and sidewalks six feet apart. It was all so stupid, you guys. It was so so stupid. Mandy. My very liberal sister still wears a mask. It's become a crutch for her. And you know what, There you go. That's

all you need to see. Right now. When we get back, we're going to talk about something much more uplifting. Andrew Kneales than Houses for Warriors is trying to provide not just housing, but the kind of support for veterans who are either homeless or about to become homeless so they can live their best lives. We're going to tell you about it. Right after this.

God want to stay the nicetyre bendy Toronto, keeping your sad babe.

Speaker 5

Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to the second hour of the show. And I'm thrilled to have with me now Andrew Canals. He is the CEO and founder of Houses for Warriors, a wonderful operation that decided to try and tackle homelessness in the veteran community. But now it's just turned into even so much more. Andrew, first of all, welcome back to the show.

Speaker 10

Thanks for having me back. It's good to see you.

Speaker 5

So let's talk for a second. If nobody's ever heard of Houses for Warriors, let's talk about how this thing got started, what the mission is, and what you've accomplished in the lifespan so far.

Speaker 10

Yeah, I guess it all kind of starts with my story. You know, when I got out of the military, I had to combat towards in Iraq. I survived a major rocket attack that injured a lot of people, and I really struggled with PTSD and just controlling my emotions and

not being responsible and not making responsible choices. And you know, between addiction issues and alcoholism, you know, I was I hit rock bottom and I was able to get out of it through getting support and getting my disability, which I was entitled to the whole time that I struggled, you know, I was homeless for two and a half years and just you know, in and out of a lot of turmoil and and and didn't have really a

support network. And when I finally got support and I finally asked for help and I started changing my life. I really started wanting to you know, continue my service and give back in a in a different way. And so, you know, when people started seeing that my life was getting better and and you know, I was becoming more successful, and I got a service dog, and people, how'd you get your dog? How did you know? How did you

do this? How did you get your benefits? And I started just really helping the people that I knew that had served, and it grew from there. You know, after I received a service dog and got inspired, I started going back to school and I started Houses for Warriors in twenty nineteen and and the whole purpose was to improve the quality of life for all injured and homeless veterans.

I had also been injured. I broke both in my femurs mountain biking, and it was just it was a crazy time in my life that just spiraled and went, you know, deeper and deeper and darker and darker. And so to get out of that and to reclaim my life and rebuild my life, and now I have a successful business, and I'm married, and we're working on kids and and you know, there's there's a lot that has changed that I never saw myself have that I could never see myself having when when I was in it,

when I was when I was struggling. And so, you know, it's been five years. We've grown way beyond how we started. You know, we started out doing service projects, and I was just organizing construction projects for veterans that needed you know, ramps and wheelchair accessibility and new roofs or major repairs, and built the community of contractors and volunteers to do

these projects. And then beyond that, you know, in twenty twenty one, during the pandemic, we started getting lots of calls looking for homes and looking for places to go, you know, people calling in the winter saying, Hey, I'm on the street and I have nowhere to go. And so we got we got our start in the transitional

housing by just getting people hotels, extended state hotels. We worked out a deal with one of the with one of the local hotels here and really anybody that had an available room, we would and I would like raise money individually for these individuals and get them as much support as I can. And then it got into giving them jobs with the contractors in construction and we eventually got our own transitional home in twenty twenty one. We

started by leasing this house. It was a five bedroom home that we had seven beds and we were transitioning. It took a while to start, but we ended up transitioning about fifteen, maybe eighteen veterans to that house. And then just under about a year and a half ago, we moved into a nicer neighborhood, a nicer home that had more space, and we gave everyone their own bedroom. We learned from the first home and we decided to

cut it down to four. So we've been helping four veterans at a time, about about ten to twelve per year in this one home. And you know, we're getting to the point now where we've helped about thirty six veterans and the program has evolved from just providing a safe place. You know, that's how it started. It was a safe, comfortable place that had all the amenities of any group home, video games and TV streaming and all that. Every room has a TV and and the idea evolved into, Okay,

you know, let's give them new structure. You know, let's create you know, we've created house rules and chores and you know, they have to take care of their space. And then beyond that, you know, we we raise We do a bunch of drives and raise money so that we can provide all the basic needs that they would

need in that home. So their food's provided, freezer Giant thirty thirty, keep a foot freezer full of meat and food, all the house goods, toilet paper, paper products, like everything is provided so that they can really just focus on

getting on their feet. We implemented a ninety day program with a mentor and a coach and a facilitator, and they give us one weekend a month now where they are focused on personal growth and doing personal development workshops and professional development workshops with their coaches in a in a structured environment. We're actually doing these at Redrox Community College, so there they graciously gave us a classroom space to do this class every weekend or every a week, one

weekend a month. And it's very intensive. They're they're dealing with like deep rooted programs and deep rooted money issues and trauma in and out of the military, you know, from childhood and and post military as well, so you know,

it's a very intense program. It's gotten more and more intense intensive and really just focused on the individual's needs, helping them set goals and then having a support network and a group of people that are holding them accountable to doing what they say they're going to do, the choices that they're making, and ultimately, you know, working as a team within the home to support each other through through.

Speaker 4

All of this.

Speaker 10

And and it's it's been a beautiful thing to witness. We've had some tremendous results. You know, the program, it's it's working more and more as time goes on, because we're getting more experienced, We're we're altering the program as as we learn from from every veteran that goes through it, constantly making it better constantly giving them more attention and more focus and more support, but at the same time holding them accountable to doing it themselves, you know, being responsible,

making responsible choices, and and and really just we're you know, our program really combats any other other transition program out there. You know, we're we're not just giving them a handout. We've always said we're a hand up, not a handout. And you know, the government's very focused on creating dependency and maybe maybe unintentionally, you know, let's.

Speaker 5

Just say, politically, I can argue about the policies. Yeah, no, no, I was just gonna say, Andrew, this is what I love about this because one of the things that I have learned throughout the years of talking to people with different kinds of programs similar to this one, and that is when you add in the responsibility piece, when you add in the sense of responsibility to the other housemates that live there, and you know, holding others accountable, those

are the kind of things that help someone build their identity, their own self worth back. Is because being part of the pack again and being part of a group and then being a good member of that group, I mean, that's that's a really powerful thing. How did that evolve? Did that evolve organically where guys were like, look, you got to pull your weight? I mean, how did that process come about?

Speaker 10

Well, it always happens a little organically because if somebody is not pulling their weight around the house, the burden gets heavy on on the other three. Having a small collaborative living environment like that, if somebody leaves their dishes in the sink, there's only one of four people that can be like, you know, so, so and and and empowering the veterans to manage their own home. You know, we we step in, we're we're constantly there. We have

house meetings every week. You know, they're required to check in with their mentors three times a week on time at the time they designate. They can renegotiate that, but but ultimately they're you know, it's a structure. And when when they're when they start falling outside of the structure, you know, it's the rest of their group finds out very quickly, and it took a lot of work to get here. You know, we actually hired an amazing facilitator.

He was actually a personal mentor of mine. He you know, I went through a similar ninety day growth program that that had a different structure, but ultimately the same program

that that really turned me into the man I am today. Uh, you know, and that was just within the last few years, you know, in the middle of my journey with the nonprofit, and so to be able to offer it to them and restructure it to fit into the housing program, it's been a major void, uh that we've filled with with hiring this facilitator, and this facilitator brought an amazing team of volunteer coaches that have been through advanced personal growth work.

They they've all been experienced working together. I met a lot of them. A lot of these people were at my wedding, you know that that's how close we all are. And and so, you know, getting these people involved has made a tremendous impact in the lives of the veterans that veteran the program. Currently, we're seeing major changes in character and behavior. You know, one that there's one story in particular. He stands out because he really struggled. He

had a criminal background. Unfortunately, he uh you know, had a really hard time getting a job when he moved here. He moved here to get away from a crowd that was holding him down. And making you know, and supporting bad choices in his life. So he took the risk, came all the way to Colorado. We helped him get here, and then moved into our home and then just really struggled and struggled. And you can only struggle so long, you know, with the same mindset, and and it eventually

really weighs on you. And and so once we implemented the ninety day program and we got him a mentor, we got him a coach, and we started doing these weekend seminars, he really started breaking out of his old patterns and programs. And you know, he is now doing a culinary uh program with another veteran organization. He's learning

how to be a chef. It's a very good industry for him to be in because they a lot of the time, as long as you can cook good food and do your job and pay attention and be clean and and do you know, do the job right, they don't care about your history or your background. And very similar to construction. And so you know, we we get them, you know, we we we do our best to navigate

their personal barriers. And and they're all different. Everybody has a different story, you know, some people aren't ready for the type of intensive personal work that we're we're we're kind of pushing them into. And then you know, it's it's like we say, it's not just a housing program. This is a transformative, transformative program that's going to help and never be homeless again. And that that's what I

was getting to to. You know, the current programs out there, you know, they just create dependency, and and these guys are going from program to program to program and and a lot of them just aren't getting any real tools

or resources to change their lives. Right, And so I can confidently say that that Houses for Warriors, and this Warriorhouse program and our Warrior Resiliency training, that ninety day program is all is actually doing that We're actually transforming lives from the root causes of their struggles and what

led them to being homeless. And we're giving them the tools and the resources and the mindset and the support really is the big one, the real support to change their lives and make different choices and start getting what they want in life. You know, it wasn't enough for me to just get them an apartment or help them get an apartment, and you know, beyond that we also furnish those apartments. When they move out, we collect furniture and house goods and make sure that they don't need

anything during this transition. That wasn't enough for me.

Speaker 5

I don't want to I don't want to run out of time, but I want to make sure we get to what's happening this Saturday. Tell me, first of all, what are we raising five hundred thousand dollars to do? And how are how are you doing this Saturday at three? Awesome?

Speaker 10

Thank you for asking. I can ramble. I know I'm very passionate about this and and this this upcoming event on to twenty two is a huge, huge milestone for our organization. We're hosting this in our in our classroom at Red Rocks Community College. It's also a hybrid event, so you can you can attend virtually and and watch and share the live stream and even go live yourself. But this is a this is a community effort. It's about stepping up and and and volunteering and helping us

raise this money. It's it's incorporated into our ninety day program. With the current veterans that are there, We're going to We're going to be interviewing some of those guys and hearing their stories directly. Uh, we're going to be streaming the entire event, and and the goal is to buy a new home, a bigger, nicer home. We've we've had about a maybe for about a year and a half now. We've had a waiting list of at least four to five veterans at any given time, and we just we

just you know, this is a process. You know, it takes you know, between three and nine months to really you know, help this help these guys change and transform their lives. And so you know, we just we don't have enough space and we haven't been able to just get them in and out fast enough.

Speaker 4

You know.

Speaker 10

We we give them as much time as they need typically to to transition back into an independence, uh life. So this, this fundraiser is about getting involved, making this mission your mission. It's about coming together as a community and purchasing this this home. You know, obviously five hundred thousand dollars isn't enough to buy the house that we want.

You know, this is we're looking at eight to ten rooms with a wreck room and a study room and just you know, amenities for them to really collaborate, work together, feel comfortable and show them what's possible in their lives. And you know, in order to do that, you know, obviously, any donation supports us five dollars, one thousand dollars, one

hundred thousand dollars right, anything will help. The goal is to get enough to put a significant down payment on a new home, you know, reduce the mortgage as much as possible by putting as much down as we can, and then putting some money into our account for operations and you know, supporting the program for the next year or two. So we have a number of ways to do this. Obviously, they can show up, help us, make calls.

We're encouraging everyone to you know, call those friends and family that you know will support our mission and support housing homeless veterans. We uh. We also encourage you to go live and share the live stream mention it on on the day of and and share the link and and get people there. Like I said, we'll be interviewing veterans. We'll be interviewing some of the volunteers and the coaches

that are working one on one with our vets. And there's also some naming rights opportunities as well, so if you want to really you know, kick down and and and be a big, big help for for this campaign. Help us by naming a bedroom, help us by naming that new movie room that we want to build, or the game room, or even name the house right. You know, those are the biggest ways to support. You know, it comes with recognition, and you know we'll we'll invite you

to all of our graduation events. You get to meet the veterans that are that are supporting, that we're supporting, and and it's just it's gonna be a good time. We're gonna have pizza, We're gonn to have volunteers, and the team WRT Team one is going to be present and helping and supporting. And it's part of their ninety day growth program is to be involved and give back to those who are giving.

Speaker 5

Well, Andrew, I appreciate it. I put everything on the blog. So, Andrew Knelis is my guest from Houses for Warriors. This is all happening Saturday from three to six pm a telethon. I was going to ask you if Jerry Lewis was going to host, but I doubt it because he's old and cranky. Now, I also put a link to the Houses for Warriors website. If you just want to jump right there and make a donation, you can do that

as well. Or you can participate on Saturday, or you can make a donation big enough, or you can just give him a house. If you have an eight to ten bedroom house laying around, don't know what to do with it, just give Andrew a call and say I've got a house for you. That would be fantastic, great tax right off for you. Andrew. I love what you're doing and I cannot wait to hear about the next house that you guys at Houses for Warriors are going to be able to open with this money.

Speaker 10

Well, I'm looking forward to it. I really appreciate your time and letting me share this mission.

Speaker 5

All right, Andrew Canalis, thank you so much, my friend.

Speaker 10

Thank you.

Speaker 5

Have a good day. All right. That is Andrew Canalis with Houses for Warriors. You guys, we are so and we talked about this last week when Rob was on the show. By the way, a Rod did a fantastic video of Rob getting his big cardboard check, So if you heard him on the show on Thursday, you can see exactly how shocked he was. Very shocked when we gave him the giant cardboard check, so we were pretty excited about that. Anyway, when we get back, it's time

to talk a Rod retrieve the dead horse. We'll be back with that right after this by a Rod. The dead horse, of course, being how bad the Colorado Republican leadership is. This story broke last Friday. Of course it did, because it's so idiotic that they tried to send it out on a Friday afternoon.

Speaker 6

Us.

Speaker 5

I'm hoping that nobody would notice how stupid it is, but I noticed from coloradopeakpolitics dot com. The Colorado Republican Party sued six prominent state Republicans this week, alleging the group orchestrated a failed coup that attempted to remove state GOP Chairman Dave Williams and his fellow state party officers from their positions last summer, costing the party substantial legal fees and diverting resources from campaigns just weeks before the

November election. Oh yeah, yeah. The lawsuit the state GOP Dave Williams, and the party's vice chair and secretary asked the court to find that Republicans who instigated and carried out a plan that claim to have replaced Williams and other officers are liable for unspecified damages to be determined at trial. They have named Eli Bremmer, Todd Watkins, Nancy Palazzi, Kevin McCartney, Britta Horn, and Christy Burton Brown in the lawsuit. And this is yet another example of the trash decision

making of the Colorado Republican Party leadership. And I have to put leadership in air quotes because there's no leadership here. There's vindictiveness, there's spitefulness, and there's a small group of people who would rather burn the whole thing down and rule over the ashes than do anything constructive in any way, shape or form. And I hope that some judge laughs this out of the courtroom. It's beyond absurd. But then again, what else would we expect from this group, this clown

show running the Colorado GOP. So you know, I know that there's going to be an election to bring in new leadership. As of right now, I to see Britta Horn in the seat out of the candidates that I have that I am aware of. And something happened that has never happened before, So I realized we're having a leadership, you know, discussion kind of thing. And I have gotten probably five different emails about one specific candidate for Colorado

Republican leadership. I don't know if any of these five people know each other, but they all came over the last two weeks, staggered out, not even on the same day, like this was a coordinated effort asking me to please ensure that Darcy Shoenik does not become the chair of the Colorado GOP. And these various people who are relaying to me an email, and I can't verify any of these stories directly, you know what I'm saying, Like they're all secondhand, so I'm not going to share them with you.

But all stories about her being a bully, either on social media in person, about her being extremely nasty to people that disagree with her, and they believe that she would be more of the same of the Dave Williams style of leadership. And again can't verify any of these things, although some people did send me screenshots of social media posts that she was involved in that were quite nasty,

but I found that interesting. That's never happened before where I've had like a drip campaign, and I don't know if it's a coordinated campaign, or if it's just all of these people saying, holy cow, you think Williams is bad? Darcy schoeneg is off the hook. I don't want any more divisive people in leadership. I don't want people who believe in retribution, who use words like treason to talk about people who are concerned about the direction of the

party because the party was not helping candidates. It's laughable that in this lawsuit they actually say caused harm just before an election. Representative Gabe Evans, Representative Jeff Crank, they both come on this program and said I got zero help from the Colorado Republican Party other than being able to use a mailing list. Zero. So what damages are

they going after? I just I don't understand. I don't understand people who are who would rather be right or feel like they were right instead.

Speaker 6

Of win.

Speaker 5

Because we're not winning. We want a little bit more, and do not give me. Do not for a second try to give anybody in charge of the Colorado GP any credit for that, because they endorse the people that ran against the winners in the primary. Let's not forget. Please, if you are a Republican and you are going to vote on this. Please take the party back. Just put someone normal in charge. Put someone who is not fully invested in profiteering off of the Republican Party, who is

not invested in suing other Republicans. Do you know me, Democrats, the Republican Party has sued zero? Do you know how many campaigns the Republican Party has run successfully? Zero that I can find. Even Lauren Bobert, who was supported by Dave Williams in the election, even she is done with this nonsense, as was indicated as she tried to talk some kind of sanity back into an insane meeting where Williams was trying to change the bylaws so we could

stick around longer. And it's so bad, so incredibly incredibly bad, and they just keep piling on, making one more bad decision after one more bad decision, after one more bad decision. It's just baffling to me. There's so many opportunities for Republicans in Colorado right now. People don't feel safe in our major city centers. They don't think their kids are being educated properly, and they're not. Test scores show us they're not. The cost of living is going up every year.

Directly because of the nickel and diming of the Democratic Party that keeps passing more fees, more fees, more fees, which we all know are taxes, but they can't raise taxes,

so they're just piling more fees on us. There are so many places where the Republican Party could be winning right now, and instead of that, instead of making the argument for more conservative policy, smaller government, freer markets, freer economies, they're suing other Republicans who decided that they wanted to follow the bylaws and call a meeting to get this

clown show out. If only they've been successful. But I actually believe that the judge who ruled in favor of Dave Williams is probably a Democrat and knew that the longer this guy is in charge, the more there will be beset by infighting, the more money will be wasted on lawsuits that are going nowhere, the more inanity and

the less effect of the Republican Party will be. So, if I'm a Democrat, I'm doing everything in my power to keep Dave Williams and his little cabal in charge, all his little rhino calling friends so clever can't define what a good Republican looks like but the boy. They love to call people rhinos, and you can go from Republican and good standing to rhino overnight because they just move the goalposts. That is truly so ampathetical to everything

I've always believed about the Republican Party. The pettiness, the smallness, the vindictiveness, the absolute disregard for the people who may align with the Republican Party on a lot of issues but not on all of them. They don't care. They can shrink away, and then they can have their media. They can have the whole state convention inside like a Denny's somewhere, because there'll be so few people left. It's so so infuriating, so infuriating, and yet here we are. Okay, ay, Rod,

you can return the dead horse to the closet. We'll move on in the next segment. This text is right, Hi, Mandy, my Democrat friend said, Williams is God's gift to Colorado Democrats. Yes, indeedy, my friends, he is. I don't know how I missed this until now. Apparently women are still shaving their heads to protest the election of Donald Trump. What what? Oh?

By the way, I have something on my blog and it's from my friend Jeff Hunt, who actually worked for a competing radio station, But he went to the protest yesterday downtown, and this video is so flip and funny. It is so incredibly funny. Oh my gosh, tell me that I put it on the blog. Did I? I might not have because it had so much bad language in it. Oh, it's on my it's on my uh my x speed. But he went downtown and he asked

for specifics, like, hey, what has Donald Trump done? Well, he's he's coming from my rights and my voting rights and lgbt Q rights and more rights, and he's taken away the rights. And he's like, well, what specifically, And they're like, I don't want to talk to you anymore. Nope, now, don't I adoct to you anymore. I love it when people show up at a protest. But then when you ask for details, they're like, I know the eight person to talk to you about this. You need to talk

to my friend. She reads the New York Times. She can't tell you what we're mad about. But then I see this video just now that apparently women are shaving their heads to protest Donald Trump, and this is one of those things I don't understand about women. Why is that an effective form of protest? Who are you hurting? No one? No one? And what if you shave your head and you got like a wee weird shaped head.

I'm pretty sure I have a weird shaped skull. Everybody, you ever shaped your head, you know, just fall on bald? Ever did that? Ever?

Speaker 6

Since I did an AI rendering of what I would look like bald?

Speaker 5

No?

Speaker 6

No, I mean it's okay, but my head's massive.

Speaker 5

It is like an orange on a toothpick. I mean your head is giant.

Speaker 6

Yeah, I wear I wear hats they don't buy, they don't sell in stores exactly over eight.

Speaker 5

Yeah, it would not look good. You do have a giant noggin. Like I'm just afraid I would have weird because I can feel like a weird bump back here, you know what I mean? Like everybody'd be like, well, what the heck happened back there? I don't know. Talk to my parents. Maybe they got dropped as a child. But this is one of those things where I guess, if you're trying to signal to the world and you want everyone to know how unhappy you are about Donald

Trump's presidency. Then that's one way to say, yes, I either have cancer alopecia, or I'm just mad about Donald Trump, or maybe I just look really good bald. I gotta tell you have a little bit of envy for African American women because they can pull off the bald thing. I've never seen a white woman. No, I take that back. I've seen two white women, both recovering from cancer that look good bald. But black women can rock that look. Probably not all black women, but a lot of black

women can rock that look. It's just nonsensical, absolutely nonsensical. Okay. A fun story that I have today. I grabbed it from the Denver Gazette. I love, love, love it, and they don't do enough. And if you work for the Denver Gazette, I need you to tell your editor that I need more stories like this. They call it Craving Colorado and Steth Foster we've had on the show before. He actually wrote about a place in Lamar, Colorado, on the Eastern Plains. Not a lot going on in Lamar

except the rebirth of the cow Palace. Oh yes, in Lamar. Now it's a foodie destination. I think that's pretty cool. I'm gonna drive the Lamar and visit it just because why not just do it? Because that's that would be a good way to spend an afternoon driving out to Lamar and back. Maybe anyone, anyone at all? No, Okay, moving on.

Speaker 3

Uh.

Speaker 5

A Rod did a review of Captain America. So you went and saw it Friday night, A Rod, and your words were, it wasn't as bad as what you'd heard. I told you i'd seen mixed reviews.

Speaker 6

Yes, yeah, nowhere nearly as bad as people have been saying.

Speaker 5

I liked it a lot. Don't you think when you go into a movie with an expectation of, oh, I don't know, I've heard about things, and then it turns out to not be horrible, you're like, oh, okay, I much prefer the bar to be at ground zero. Yeah, just Steven Stevens.

Speaker 6

Yeah, make it as low as possible and just be terrible. And then I go in go, oh okay, okay, I was really good.

Speaker 5

So I watched a movie on the plane coming back yesterday that could have been so fantastic that I find myself getting angry that Tyler Perry directed it because the story of the Six Triple Eight, which is a battalion of African American women in World War Two, the only wag what was wax wax battalions that deployed to Europe, and they set them up to fail at a task that multiple units had tried to solve, and that was

dealing with a backlog of mail. It's a fantastic story and it's a true story, and it's really interesting, and Carrie Washington plays the lead and she was just so incredibly good, like her performance wasted in a movie that Tyler Perry decided to make about racism, which there was racism. Now, don't get me wrong, you have to address the racism

that these women faced. But instead of addressing the fact that this group of women got together and solved a problem that multiple other units had tried to solve and no one else could solve it. But then he just glosses over how they a actually solve the problem and I liken it to Apollo thirteen. Have you ever seen Apollo thirteen?

Speaker 3

A red?

Speaker 5

I think?

Speaker 4

So?

Speaker 5

Okay, So the astronauts are stuck in space. A huge part of the movie is about the guys on the ground trying to engineer a solution to how to fix this problem to bring these astronauts back from space. None of that, none of that. I was so mad. I was like, what a great story. It could have been so much better, so much better. The actresses were great, but he just he leaned in on one part instead of leaning in on the important part, which is these women solved a problem that no one else could fix

and we really don't know how. There's like two throwaway lines about how they did it. I'm like, ah, so aggravating when a movie could have been so much more. Anyway.

Speaker 5

Welcome Local, Welcome to the third hour of the show. Did you guys hear the hate speech in Keenan Dixon's news cast? He said it was gonna be a low of one tonight. That's not cool. It's a dumb low one. Boo boo. So on the blog today, I have a story, actually a column by the esteemed Michael Rosen. You may be familiar with his work from decades on the radio Here at KOWA he wrote a column about the birthright

citizenship order. Now, if you heard my conversation with Constitutional Attorney John you John dismissed the possibility that anything will change here because, as he said, no, this has already been designed by a prior lawsuit, and that was inconsistent with what I thought I knew. But I could lie and tell you that I know absolutely was sure, but

I wasn't. So over the weekend did to win on investigating and the issue of birthright citizenship when it comes to people in the country illegally, has not been decided. And with the current court makeup where we have a majority of people who generally speaking act like originalists, meaning they look for the original intent in the Constitution before making a rolling, although they are not entirely consistent with that,

I didn't think it had been decided. And Mike Rosen wrote a column today that pretty much confirms what I thought I knew from Mike's column. The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution was ratified following the Civil War in eighteen sixty eight. It was all about ending slavery and punishing Southern rebellion. Section one granted citizenship and all constitutional protections to former slaves, born or naturalized in the United States,

and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. That last part is very, very important as it now applies to foreigners. The key phrase doesn't just mean being subject to our laws. The framers of the amendment intended the allegiance to the US be exclusive and to no other country. Foreign tourists, legally or illegally in the US are subject to our laws, but not our political jurisdiction. They owe no allegiance to

the US. Hence, if a child is born to them while they're visiting here, that child should have no automatic right to American citizenship. In an eighteen eighty four case versus Wilkins, SCOTUS ruled that even Indians weren't granted citizenship by the Fourteenth as they were subject to tribal jurisdiction, not US jurisdiction. That is what I've always thought was not had not been decided yet. Now what's interesting is we see the protests that happened a couple of weeks

ago where people are walking around waving their Mexican flags. Well, that certainly flies in the face of subject to the jurisdiction thereof, right, I mean, really really. It's a great

column by Mike, who again just nails it. But I'm interested to see how all this is decided because this could throw a lot of people into chaos, because there are a lot of people who have lived their entire lives born here in the United States of America whose parents were either not here as citizens or not here with status some kind of status, and gave birth I mean, what do you do with all those people? What do you do with the retroactive people? You can't hold them

responsible for that. It's gonna be a very interesting thing to see how this all happens. Now. I'm guessing that Congress could act quickly to protect the those people, but maybe we put a punctuation mark in and say, okay, from this point forward, no more, no more. Because I actually believe that birthright citizenship is a huge lure for people to come to the United States, specifically to have a child to create a citizen that they are connected to.

So family reunification policies can be used to bring over more family members after a child has been born here and has given citizenship. I think it's a very big incentive for illegal immigration, especially for women who come here pregnant so they can have their babies here. We talked

about the Chinese tourism thing. Huge Chinese women come over here at seven months, they stay here in really nice luxury hotels, they give birth in the United States, and then they take their baby and they go back to China, and that China now has dual citizenship that baby. I just think that's not the way to have a country. It's a little too loosey goosey for my taste. Just letting you know, so we'll see what happens. But again Mike making the point that is going to uh, We're

gonna have to figure it out. He ends the column by saying, ultimately, SCOTIS can make its ruling unequivocal, with the majority opinion declaring it was the intent of the fourteenth Amendment that only those persons born to citizens of the United States or naturalized in the United States and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction thereof are the citizens of the United States. And like I said, I don't know what this would mean to people whose status would be

thrown into chaos. I think there needs to be immediate clarification, But I don't trust Congress. I don't trust Congress on anything, because everything in Congress is just it's kind of like what Donald Trump is doing right now. I keep saying when Donald Trump does something or anounces something, I'm like, just wait, just wait. That's the starting point, because what

should be simple to all of us out here. Even if you believe the birthright citizenship should be ended, I mean, you're not suggesting that people who have been born here and have lived their entire lives should somehow be subject to deportation. I just think that's unreasonable and very very cruel. All that being said, do you trust Congress to go in and quickly fix the issue? Of course not, because members of Congress are going to look to get their

little skin out of the game. The bill will man end up being one thousand pages long, just to make sure that we can take care of this one issue. I just Congress is being left in the dust right now by the Trump administration. But if they don't get theirselves together, get their act together, start codifying some of this stuff into law, I mean, what are we even doing. What's going to happen with the next Continuing Resolution? How big is that thing going to be? What's it going

to have in it. We won't know because we'll get the three thousand page bill two minutes before they pass it. That's just standard and really really sad and not cool at all, not even a little bit. A couple of things we're gonna talk about next. Blake Street tavern is rising like a phoenix, and if you're waiting for your Colorado state tax return, you're gonna be waiting a little longer. But before all that, two Colorado men, well they're trying

to get Florida man or run for his money. And I love this story, so you're gonna hear it too right after this. Okay, I gotta tell you, guys, it's my favorite news story I Saturday. This is just it's so. This is one of those things where you can just picture these two geniuses sitting around. They're probably drinking, maybe they're smoking a little mess and one of them says, you know what we should do? I bet if we could get contraband into this prison in Louisiana, then we

could split the profits with our homeboys. Who's in this prison right now? How hard can it be? Right? Uh? Apparently pretty hard because two Colorado men or under arrest. They were arrested and Grant Parish, Louisiana. It is home

to the US Penitentiary Pollock Facility. According to the Grant Parish Sheriff's office, eighteen year old Jose Francisco Herrero Munez and nineteen year old Angel Gonzales Gudierez, both from Greeley, tried to smuggle in one hundred and twelve thousand dollars worth of tobacco and eighty nine thousand and five hundred dollars worth of methamphetamine into the prison. How did these two geniuses do it? Just you wait, wait for it. People,

wait for it. The sheriff's office said the two planned to use a cannon to launch the items over a security fence and on to federal prison grounds. This particular cannon uses compressed air and as a shooting range of more than three hundred and fifty feet. So basically, what I'm envisioning is a glorified potato gun, only instead of potatoes,

it would fire cigarettes and methanthetamine. And then we are all supposed to believe from these geniuses that no one inside the prison, like a guard in a watch tower or guards standing in the yard, none of them would notice this projectile hurling over the security fence and then dropping into the yard. No one was going to notice that. Shockingly, Ice has issued a detainer for mister Munno's, who, in addition to living in Greeley, is also in the country illegally.

Now here's my question, and I'm sure this is your question too, Where exactly did these two geniuses come up with one hundred and twelve thousand dollars worth of tobacco and eighty nine five hundred dollars worth of methamphetamine. I mean, do you have that kind of scratch laying around? You get a couple hundred grand worth of drugs and tobacco laying around your house, and you're gonna fire it using

a cannon into a prison. I'm guessing these gentlemen had shared drugs and stolen tobacco with others before they decided to hurl it over the prison wall. Just guessing. I mean, that's my favorite story so far of twenty twenty five. Colorado genius is trying to fire stuff over the wall of a prison. Never let it be said that we got anything on Florida man. You know, Florida man's been kind of quiet. Haven't heard any wack of doodle Florida

man stories in a while. It's like Florida all of a sudden, was like, you know, I think these people are making fun of me. I don't want to do it anymore. I'm not gonna do dumb stuff. I'm not gonna put that alligator through that drifting window. They just got hit to it right there. If you're waiting for your Colorado's state income tax refund, well keep on waiting. The Colorado Department of Revenue announced Tuesday it plans to start processing state tax returns this week. Why uh, yeah,

I don't know. Tax season started a couple of weeks ago, with the state Department of Revenue had not put up the website for e filing yet, and when asked about it, they were kind of like, what, all of a sudden, Florida man is running the Department of Revenue in Colorado. What's interesting about these news stories is that they don't really get a kind of a statement. Oh, here's a

statement from the Department of Revenue. In a statement provided last week, a spokesperson said, we have nothing to announce it this time and are focused on completing the necessary work to ensure taxpayers have a smooth and secure tax filing experience. Color me crazy, but aren't there a whole bunch of months that are not tax season that you're supposed to get that done? I mean kind of like, I mean, you got one job, got one one job,

and they didn't quite eke that out. Last story before next segment, we're talking to Auror City Councilwoman Danielle Drinsky. So I want to get this in bakes bleah, let me try that one more time. Blake Street Tavern closed on opening day for the Rockies two years ago. In twenty twenty three, the owner of Chris Fusley had had enough after trying to keep the place open through COVID and stepped aside. Two years later, on opening day, the

tavern at Blake Street will reopen. It's still some you know, sports bar, but it's also going to be a music venue, events base, all kinds of stuff going on. I just thought, if you're the sort of person who goes down to opening day as we do every year, where what helps springs Etarnal just for that one day as a Rockies fan? Uh? Does this make you a happier side? Text me five six six nine, Oh when we get back. Danielle Durinsky has had quite quite an experience on the Aurora City Council

and oh boy, oh boy, she wants more. We'll talk to her next. Hello, daniel welcome back to the show.

Speaker 3

Amy, thank you for having me.

Speaker 4

Well.

Speaker 5

I saw today on social media, So without further ado announce what you're announcing today.

Speaker 3

I am officially running for reelection in Aurora, Colorado.

Speaker 5

Danielle, you have had quite the first term. Okay, let's mean hold it cow. A lot of people jump into politics and then they get elected and then they spend a few years sort of getting their feet under them. Not you. You just put your face right in the wood chipper. So let's talk about why you want to continue to represent Aurora on the city council after everything you've been through in the first you know term.

Speaker 3

Well, you know that's easy, Mandy. Aurora is my hometown and I did jump in head first, I mean completely seven weeks into public office. I went after the police chief.

Speaker 11

At that time, and the decision was was easy for me.

Speaker 3

I have been through a lot. Everybody knows, uh you know, or has heard of the situation I went through with DHS. Everything I've gone through with the Venezuelan prison gang and standing up to our own governor, standing up to the media.

Speaker 11

Uh, it hasn't been easy, but you know what.

Speaker 3

It has fired me up even more, Mandy, because now I know. Now I know how truly ugly and dark politics really are, and how many politicians don't care about people. So for me, I'm going to keep fighting. If they didn't beat me when they tried to take away my son, if they didn't beat me when they tried to, you know, snear my name and call me a liar and tell me that I was crazy over this Venezuelan Uh.

Speaker 11

Thinking, if they haven't beat me doing all of that and throwing.

Speaker 3

All of that at me, they're not going to now. It's not going to start now.

Speaker 5

Well, and I admire that because a lot of people probably would have backed down from a fight. But how did you become a woman? You're not only a member of the Aora City Council, you're a small business owner. You're in an industry that is just tough, in the restaurant bar industry. What made you tough? Danielle? Tell me a little bit about how you got to be the person who decided you were going to stand up to a Venezuelan prison gay.

Speaker 3

Yeah.

Speaker 11

Well, a lot of that goes back to my childhood.

Speaker 3

I was raised by my father, Vietnam era marine, and he raised me and my dad. My dad is.

Speaker 11

Tough and a lot of that, A lot of that.

Speaker 3

Comes from him, and then humongous sense of.

Speaker 11

Wanting to make him proud.

Speaker 3

But growing up this with a single father, and then you know, joining the military. The military also helped instill some toughness in me. And then you're right.

Speaker 11

I mean, the bar business is one of the.

Speaker 3

Toughest industry there are, and I went into office owning four bars. So I think, I think what I don't mean to sound like a commercial for a certain car company, but I was built up.

Speaker 5

Yes, Well, let me ask you, so, did what inspired you to get into politics in the first place? Was it the lockdowns of COVID? What got you into that? I know that we talked when you ran the first time, but I honestly don't remember what you said, because I probably talked to one thousand candidates right before that. So what did you decide? What drew you to politics after everything else you have going on?

Speaker 11

Well, back in twenty twenty so media. It was the entire year of twenty twenty.

Speaker 3

And what I tell people is I didn't get into politics. Politics got into me. The Democrats knocked on my door. I had a newborn at March of twenty twenty. I had a newborn at home. When I had to go shut down all of my.

Speaker 11

Bars and restaurants, I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 3

There was no science behind it. Couldn't make it make sense. If you tried, Costco could be packed, Walmart could be packed. But if you go to get your hair done, your nails done, go to a bar, or go to a gym, you're just automatically.

Speaker 11

Going to die from COVID.

Speaker 3

So there was no sense, there was no common sense behind any of that. That's how it started. Then you remember it was the Summer of love. What happened in Aurora with all of the riots that broke out. They smashed out all the windows on our city hall. Our city hall was completely boarded up. They broke into the courthouse, that trashcands on fire, and then they had that standoff.

They trapped seventeen police officers in the District Rue Police building for seven hours and taunted them with gas cans and not police chief at that time who I charged after as.

Speaker 11

Soon as I got into office, told.

Speaker 3

Everybody to stand down, would not let anybody. And because of that, that year alone, we lost one hundred and twenty seven officers in the police department because of her, because of her actions and allowing these police officers to be trapped. The final straw came when we were shut down the second time. My businesses were shut down the

second time in twenty twenty. The Awara City Council at that time brought forward an ordinance for a twenty dollars an hour minimum wage in just for Aura while our businesses were shut down. So that's why I say I didn't get into politics. Politics got into me. The government treaded on me and the Democrats knocked out.

Speaker 11

They'ven just knocked on.

Speaker 3

My door meunity, they kicked it in. So they brought me here. They brought me here the first time, and it's going to be because of them that I went in the second time.

Speaker 5

Well let me ask you this, what if you learned in your first term that you think is going to help you all in the city council in a second term.

Speaker 11

Well, what I have learned is in this ugly game of politics.

Speaker 3

Certainly not everybody is your friend, and some people that you think may be your friend, they're also not your friend. So the only one that's truly going to have your back is you. And I stick to my principles, I stick to my beliefs, and I just dig my heels in and I don't stop even if I'm standing alone, because in politic you are the only person that is truly going to look out for yourself and the people you represent.

Speaker 5

Well. And Daniel, what do you what do you want to see happen in Aura? I'm watching with great interest the Homeless Navigation Center. I'm really excited and interested to see that get up and running and see how that can make a real impact in Aurora. What are your thoughts on what needs to happen and what the city council needs to focus on should you get re elected, Yeah, we.

Speaker 11

Do need to focus on on that on homelessness, and I am so I also am watching with great interests right what we've kind of put into motion here. It's a WORKFORCET model to help.

Speaker 3

I don't know that anybody is going to completely ever solve homelessness five percent, but I think that this is going to make huge strides. I can't wait to see that through. I want to see We're currently we put together an infrastructure task force. I want to see that through. Aurora is in dire need of a new animal shelter, we need to fire stations. There's a lot of infrastructure that we're lacking. I want to see that through the

past two years. The crime rate in Aurora, if you can believe it or not, and even this is this comes straight from the governor himself, the past two years in Aurora, the crime rate has been declining. I don't think that's any coincidence Mandy that I've been the chair of the Public Safety Committee for two years in Aura. No coincidence at all, Governor pull us.

Speaker 11

But I want to see that it's still too much. It's still too much.

Speaker 3

That means our crime rates were so high for us to be in decline for the past two years, even with the Venezuelan prison gang and everything else going on, that means it's waste. It's still way too high. So I want to see that through as well. We have a new police chief now and I want to see our crime rates continue to decline.

Speaker 5

Do you feel like the new police chief, Chief Todd Chamberlain, how do you feel like he's doing so far. I've you know, I have a few people in the Urora Police Department. They send me emails every once in a while and they're sort of taken this so far, so good stance. But they're still cautious because those officers have been through a lot in the past five years, especially six years, if they've been around that long.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Absolutely, I mean the Aurora Police Department, auroral police officers, they have not had a voice in years in this city. They have not had someone looking out for them in four years in this city. I would say I'm the same.

Speaker 5

I like the.

Speaker 3

Direction that the department is going. I do believe that crime is being fought. I do believe police officers are policing again. But again, I am also cautiously optimistic. You know, you've seen what happened in Aurora after we got rid of Vanessa Wilson. It's been turnover after turnover from police chiefs who are also no good.

Speaker 11

So you know, I'm still cautious. I'm very cautious, and I am I stand ready at any minute to be the voice for the men and women of the Aurora Police Department. Should something take a turn.

Speaker 5

Well, you've gotten to coming up a kickoff if you will tell me about that, if people want to participate, Yeah, so Saturday, Mark.

Speaker 3

Eighth, from four to six pm at JJ's place in Aurora. You can get more information about the kickoff event or how to donate to my campaign, or how to get involved to be a volunteer. My website is Danielle for Aurora and that's fr Danielle or Aurora dot com.

Speaker 5

Danielle Jurinsky. I appreciate your time today. I wish you all the best in your reelection campaign. I think that you know people may disagree with your methods, Danielle, but I always say the same thing. I never doubt that you love the city of Aurora and you want to help everyone who lives in Aurora have the best life possible. And you know, we can quibble about methods all day long, but I never doubt your love for the people that live there and your love for the city. So I

hope you win. I'm just gonna say it. I think you've done a great job for the citizens there, even if you've ruffled a few feathers in the process.

Speaker 3

Well, it's been worth every bit of it, and I'm here to ruffle a few more. Mandy, thank you so much.

Speaker 5

All right, Danielle, have a good win. That's Danielle Darinski and again you can support her candidcy if you would like. She is running for re election. I saw the statistic today and I want to get this in. I got a couple of things on the blog that you really should go look at. First of all, due getting eaten by a whale on a kayak. I mean, spoiler alert, he doesn't die. But you've really got to see this. It's I don't know, I think it's like the coolest

story ever. A Rod was like, I don't know, maybe somebody could beat him with a different story. But if you're in a bar and everybody's like, yeah, one time I get hit by a car but I survived, and then this guy's like really quiet in the corner. He just goes, I got eaten by a whale. That's it. Yeah, just drop everything. That's it. That's like the record scratch right there. Still terrifying, No, it is terrifying. I also have another column, and I've reached out to the author

of this column from the free press. And actually it might be Paywalld now that I thought about this, But it's about the difference between It's not even necessarily right or left, or a Democrat or Republican. It's brokenness against status quo iss brokenness. Are people like me that believe the systems and the federal government are broken at such a level that the only way to fix it is to just almost burn it down and start over, you know,

limiting government spending. That's what doge is. That's why I'm all in on doge. Love it. I absolutely love it. I saw a very liberal friend of mine on Facebook the other day and I did not respond to this because I didn't want to, but I'll respond to it here. She essentially was going on about I can't believe people don't care about these federal workers who are going to

lose their jobs. They at families to support. And what I would have responded, if I were the type to respond on social media, is simply that over the last three years, businesses have fired thousands of workers because the cost of everything has gotten to be so expensive that businesses have been firing their workers in the private sector

for years now. And to think that somehow the federal government should be immune when it is the spending of the federal government that drives inflation that has forced everybody else to have to lay off people, or restaurants to close because people have tightened their budgets because everything is so much more expensive. Forced waffle House to charge an extra fifty cents per egg. I mean, you, guys, So I find that particular line of thinking really challenging to

get behind. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want people to be out of work. I don't want people to lose their jobs in the private sector or the public sector. But the fact of the matter is, until we do something significant to rein in government spending, inflation is going to remain high. And that brings me to my next statistic that I just want to share with

you from the Common Sense Institute. You can find this on the blog at mandy'sblog dot com and the headline is a shocking inflation stat Hey, ron, how much more do you think the average household has spent since twenty twenty per month? No, overall, since twenty twenty? How much more has the average household spent because of inflation? So five years? I mean a kind of just say double from the previous five. Well, now give you a number, give you a just shot in the dark number. How

much more? How much more? Five years? Yeah, since twenty twenty? How much money since twenty twenty extra have we spent just because.

Speaker 6

Of inflation per household? I'm gonna go with twenty grand.

Speaker 5

Forty one thousand dollars for those forty thousand dollars and for nine hundred and twenty two dollars, glorious, that's what inflation has cost us. So I'm sorry if I don't feel bad that every worker at the Limestone Cave where they hand process federal government retiree requests, I'm sorry that we can't make that system more efficient and keep all three hundred workers who've been maintaining the Limestone Cave employed.

You know, but we have to do something so the rest of America can get back to having some spending power again, stop putting stuff on their credit cards again, maybe be able to have a restaurant or a business again. All of a sudden is these crocodile tears for federal workers. I'm like, who do you guys work for? I mean, in the last five years, we probably have a third of our workforce here at Ihart Media, I feel like, I mean, I don't think I'm wrong? Am I? No

grants as fires? And so when people start getting like, oh no, the federal workers, what do you want me to do about that? I don't want the federal government to spend any more money because that is what is causing inflation. And I don't understand people. Those are the status quotas. We believe that we just need to sort of tweak around the edges and then we can fix

the problems. Really, how's that worked out for us? For all the people who are thrown for a loop by the shock and awe flood the zone nature of the Trump administration from this column about brokenness versus status quotas, This is a paragraph that stuck out. There was no lever to pull in the last election for change, but make it responsible and well paced. The choice which was between a slow canoe ride through more of the same

or a roller coaster. Americans chose the roller coaster. So hang on, get ready to throw your arms up when you hit the top. Okay, for some reason, I got on the algorithm. Grant Smith has joined me in the studio to play of the day my Instagram feet. Maybe I've lingered on a video a little too long, and all of a sudden, I'm on this like algorithm feet of all these people passing out on roller coasters.

Speaker 7

Don't don't hover too long on anything, the question, ask me a question and.

Speaker 5

Now but it's you, guys. It's hilarious.

Speaker 7

I have seen videos of the people on the one that like shoots you way up in the air over the city skyline and people passing out.

Speaker 5

This is someone on a roller coaster, grant, so they take off there and then they go high en up. The best part is though, they wake up while they're still on the ride, and then I'm like, I'm a horrible person. I'm going straight to hell. These people are passing out, They're losing consciousness, and I am crying over here watching it. The social media algorithm don't take it for granted. Yoh there you go, Yeah, well take it. I would be that person on a roller coaster. I

hate rolling. I used to love roller coasters, but as I've gotten older, that fluid in my ear has thickened, as it does as you get older, and now certain roller coasters are I can look at him and be like no, that is not a thing.

Speaker 6

The older I'm getting, I feel like the more willing I'm becoming. Even though I haven't actually jumped hit forty, Hit forty, I've always been told I was an old soul. So I think maybe that that fluid in my ear has always been.

Speaker 5

Thick, and that I just funny as I noticed as I was getting older that this was happening. And then I'm watching Modern Family and Phil took all the kids to the amusement park and he was like, I love roller coasters and then he goes on the first one. Was like and they actually explained that as you get older that and I went, oh, well that makes it. What a great show man. I know it was a good show anyway. Now it's time for the most exciting segment all the radio.
