Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
All right, good to have you here on the radio
show again getting an education from Mike Lynch, State Representative.
I told you I had this weird thought last night.
So why is this in the constitution? So a lot
of the constitutional stuff I said, no, I remimb and
I though was one that I'm told I should say
yes on. Oh, but because it requires fifty five percent

(00:36):
approval by the way to go into the constitution, so
not a straight majority, fifty five percent of voter approval,
I says, shall there be an amendment to the Constitution
concerning creating an exception of the right to bail? And
he says when they got rid of the capital punishment
Mike Lynch Representative Mike Lynch said it was very clumsy.
And he says, right now the lawys today you could
commit mass murder with a crowd on a camera and

(00:57):
you can still bond out the next day. They want
to fix that and give the right to deny bail
for first degree murder in capitol where there's a presumption
of guilt is great. So memb and I Micha Lynchay's
vote yes, that does have to be in the constitution.
It cannot be fixed by statute. So there you have it.
Education here on the program. Let me educate you here
on another part of the race that many of you

(01:18):
will have on your ballot. You'll have some state senators,
some state House members on the race. You'll have different
people of the county commissioners we've talked about. Some of
you will have a ballot for House District fifty two,
and that is a state House district fifty two, and
you're going to say who are the candidates, and of
course there's a party marking on each candidate. There's not
a Republican in that race. There's a Democrat and then

(01:40):
there's again named Steve your Rash and he's from something
called the Center Party. Let me bring Steve your Rash
into the program. Steve, Welcome to the show, sir, good morning,
and thanks for thanks for the time. Well there you are,
there you are, Steve.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Go ahead, Yeah, Hi, Jammy, are you doing I'm doing
very well.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Thanks for the time here this morning. First of all,
there's no Republican in the race. You're from the Colorado
Center Party. What is the what is the Center Party?

Speaker 2 (02:09):
So I started the Center Party in twenty twenty one
after I retired at age sixty, because we need to
do something different. I think Larimer County is a good
example of how Republicans are really struggling and we need
something to counterbalance the single party controlled by the Democrats,
and I think the Center Party can do that. When

(02:30):
I go door to door, I get some really good responses.
People are really wanting something in the center.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
Now, you said you we retired in twenty twenty one,
So why wouldn't Steve you rash You retired, You have
a background of the tech world. If I'm not mistaken,
why woul't you just kind of ride off into the
sunset and retire and enjoy the retirement years of your life.
Why jump into the fast, nasty and dirty world of politics.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Well, yeah, I did ski forty five days that winter
when I retired, so had a little break there. But
I have had a political involvement off and on throughout
my career, including in college. So I've been involved in
politics for quite a while, even attended a number of
Republican state conventions in Colorado. So but again, we need

(03:22):
something different. Public service is important to me. I've served
on the Larrimer County Board of Health and the four
Collins Electric board, and so I've always wanted to just
stay involved with trying to make our state, our country,
our city a better place to live and maintain our
quality of life.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
Now, I've always tried to tell my voters that my
listeners don't just look at the top line the second line.
You've got to go through the battle. I try to
educate them on these amendments, like we're talking about this morning.
And some people didn't see a state House or a
state Senate right there. I don't know, I've never heard
of this. I didn't even know we had this. They
don't know anything. Where is House district? Give us the
rough parameters of the boundaries.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Well, if you drew a diagonal line from Mulberry and
I twenty five to horse Tooth Reservoir, and you look
at the southeast part from that of Fort Collins, from
that dividing diagonal line, that's my district all the way

(04:24):
down at Carpenter Road.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
So talk about this race. Who were you up against.
Is there an incumbent in the race, And obviously you
saw the need to get in. So talk about the
current representation of the current status of representation at House
District fifty two at the State Capitol.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
So currently House DISIC fifty two is represented by Kathy Kipp,
who is pretty far left Democrat but Roman within the city.
She's been on the school board before as well, but
she has decided to run for the state Senate Strict
District fourteen, the one that's now held by Joanne Jannall

(05:03):
who is term limited, and so there is no incumbent
in fifty two. The Democrats had a primary between Ethne
Track and yaraz Oki. Yarazokai two years ago I think
it was two. I don't think it was four years
ago ran against Mike Lynch in the House district over

(05:24):
in Windsor, and so she is a far less progressive.
Ya Zokai is who is endorsed by the Democratic Socialists
of America and the Working Families Party, which is also
another socialist organizations. If you've ever seen or attended the
four Com City council meetings, you'll see fire six young

(05:46):
college age type students sitting in the front row with
red T shirts on. That's a Democratic Socialists trying to
you know, protest in favor of the Palestinians or trying
to make our governments for socialists, which we don't need
and that's is supporting my opponent, Yourzokai.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
So obviously Colorado, the Democrats have had almost a super
majority in both chambers of the state legislature. And there's
people and I think this is a very sad state
of affairs, said, look, oh up, that has an art
extra the name I got to vote for them, That
has a D next to the name, I got to
vote for them, and not recognizing that all rs and
d's are not created equal. And sometimes you need to
do some research and you need to stop drinking the

(06:29):
kool aid, and you need to vote a different way.
How do you cut through the noise of a district
that has elected Kathy Kip a year from a party
that people may not be that familiar with, and they said, well,
we voted Democrat last time, we'll just vote for this.
How do you cut through the noise and first of all,
explain who you are, what you stand for, and point

(06:50):
out that Yarzo Kai is not created equal to let's
say other Democrats, maybe within the party or maybe Democrats
in that district of what they think they're getting.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
So the first thing I have to do is spend
some money on my campaign which I am doing. I
am spending at least thirty five thousand dollars that is
already in my campaign fund. I sent out a mailer,
a large postcard, twenty six thousand pieces of mail to

(07:21):
not every household but you know, more than more than half,
about three quarters of the households in my district. So
that's and that postcard shows the comparison between my views
and your zoo kinds of views. And I've got eight,

(07:42):
no less than eight issues where we have completely opposite views.
Caber tax refunds and controlling state spending. She wants to
eliminate tabor. I do not. I support property tax reductions.
She does not, and she actually works in the tax
assessor's office for Laramber County. I support our police and

(08:06):
cash bail because we don't want our jails to be
a revolving door. It's on her website. You want to
eliminate cash bail because she thinks all of our police
are systemically racist, which is demonstrably not true. I want
to support local control of our growth, land use, housing density.

(08:28):
I support the Preserved for Collins organization. I carried petitions
for them about the change in the land use code
a lot of Democrats in Four Columns are very upset
with the city council and trying to change the land
use code just at duplexes or triplexes anywhere, ADUs anywhere

(08:50):
ADUs are the auxiliary units, the Grammarck quarters in the
back and there, you know, to be fair, there are
places where those would be just fine. Ben Osty has
on his property, but he's got like six acres right,
And so that's why I have a lot of Democrats
supporting me, as well as a lot of Republicans because

(09:10):
they're so upset with the party leadership. And I think
that will probably be the difference in the campaign. We
preserved four Collins. Organizations sent out four thousand emails to
all their supporters of in the city showing the survey
responses to their questions about land use control. And yard

(09:33):
Zoki didn't even bother to respond to the question era
because she's supported by the organizations called Yimbi. Yes in
my backyard. The socialists want higher density everywhere. I think
four Columns should stay like a suburb. I don't think
we want four Collins to start looking like Denver with
higher density everywhere. And this is what the Democrats are

(09:55):
upset about and that's I think one of the main
reasons why I do have a chance to win, along
with the fact that there's no Republican in the race,
because voters out of fear. Right, it's a choice in
most elections with a Democrat and Republican, it's the lesser
of two evils. Just because people vote for a Democrat
doesn't mean that they're enamored with those individuals. A lot

(10:19):
of people just vote out of fear that the person
on the other side is even much worse. And I
think the Center Party provides an opportunity for people to
vote for someone who checks off way more boxes that
they agree with than either of the lesser of two evils.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
The voice of Steve your USh. He's with Colorado's Center
Party and he's a candidate in House District fifty two
in the Fort Collins area. He will be in your ballot.
There's no Republican on the ballot to be a Democrat
and the person from the Colorado Center Party, and that
will be Steve Urrash. He's on the horn moview now
talking about his candidacy. Steve. As you're walking the district,

(10:58):
you're touring around that district fifty two, what are the
people talking about. I mean, obviously, nationally we hear about inflation.
Nashally we hear about immigration. Those seem to every poll
number to show that that's what people are concerned about
for their member of Congress or the presidential racer voting
their pocketbook. What are the people in House District fifty
two telling you about the state and what they're missing

(11:19):
in the state and state government and state representation. What
are the people saying?

Speaker 2 (11:24):
So, the property taxes are probably the biggest issue. And
now we did have some relief voted in by the
legislature in the second special session. The Democrats had to
have their arms completely twisted off in order to get
us some relief under the threat of the two ballot propositions,

(11:47):
which were removed. Because the Democrats finally gave us some relief,
That's probably what's talked about most. And I would say
the second thing, interestingly, is just the political function that
our politicians don't listen to us, and that they're tired
of the acrimony. You can't even talk to your brother

(12:11):
or sister or cousin or whatever because they're on the
other side. Of the aisle blue versus red, and they're
just really tired of that. And I think having someone
in the center might really help that kind of thing.
The other thing is, you know, they want the representatives
to be honest, have some integrity. I think has some

(12:32):
problems with that. She has received campaign donations from nineteen
different lobbyists, and yet at these candidate forums that we've had,
she complained, how my opponent in the primary, Ethny Trick,
got all this dark money from all these independent Experience
for committees. Oh, how terrible is that? And yet here

(12:55):
she is, after the primary, after she thought the election
was over, because she didn't think there would be a
general election, she starts collecting all these campaign contributions from lobbyists.
The lobbyists do represent corporate, for profit industries. They also
represent the homeless industrial complex of nonprofit industries that are

(13:17):
collecting all this money from Denver and the state to
fund the migrant influx. Right, the migrants are able to
have their paid rent and such through these non governmental organizations,
and so the lobbyists, and there's many of these NGOs,

(13:41):
and so globbyists I'll say, oh, you fund this one,
fund that one with your city or state money, and
you know they don't have shareholders, but they have employees
and directors that are making a lot of money and
don't change the situation in homelessness or the migrant situation.

(14:02):
And if I could real click on the migrant situation
in Aurora. There's a couple of effects you that are obvious
from the videos. The piles of trash outside of those
apartment complexes. Why are there such huge piles of trash
which is a fact in the video right well, because

(14:23):
that's what happens when we have four adults in every
bedroom in the apartment complex, they generate huge piles of
trash and so when they put it out for the
garbage collection, the garbage collection company can't collect at all.
There's just too much. And so that's a problem when
you've got that many people in those apartment complexes. And

(14:43):
that's part of what the state legislature did. They want
to allow that to occur with their land use code
changes that where they usurped local control.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Steve your Rash, I want to give your website. I
know coloradoscenterparty dot org is they can find you there?
Is that the best place to find as you the
Colorado Centerparty dot org.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Colorado Center Party dot org. My personal campaign page is
under that there's a you know, Steve Dash for gash
how fifty two is my personal campaign page. You can
also just go to the Colado Centerparty dot org and
look at for the candidate's tab and.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Pull down the tab Steve. For anybody out there, there's
no Republican in the race. They chose not to field
a candidate or didn't couldn't find a candidate for whatever
the reason. So anybody listening that normally says, well, he
just sounds he must be just a Republican in disguise.
Are you just a Republican in disguise, Steve?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
So your listeners need to know that one of the
main things that Center Party is different on from Republicans
is that we are pro choice on abortion, okay, and
so that that is one of the major differentiating factors.
But I would vote with the Republicans if the state

(15:59):
legislature or tries to shut down the crisis pregnancy centers,
which help at risk women decide to help to keep
their baby to full term and give birth right. The
state legislature has tried to shut these down. That is
not appropriate. Their nurses are afraid of losing their jobs

(16:22):
if they refuse to participate in abortion procedures. There are
nurses that work in technological offices and they some of
them don't want to participate in abortions. They should not
be forced to lose their job. Just like we had
vaccinations required and nurses were losing their jobs during COVID

(16:42):
n Team, there should not have been a mandate for
the nurses to have to take the vaccine. So the Center,
so the Center Party does have some issues that are
different but than than the Republicans, but you know, we
try to have a senst nuanced view towards these things.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Steve, I'm going to run short of time. I appreciate
your time. Steve your rash Y you are as h
Steve your Rash And it's a coloradocenterparty dot org and
if you just click the candidates tab you'll see him
right there. There's a couple of other candidates around the state,
but Steve your Rash House District fifty two in many
of you and Fort Collins, you might want to check

(17:23):
this out. Steve your Rash, Colorado Center Party, House District
fifty two. I'll be back Lakey on the radio, Jimmy
Lakey to be precise, six hundred kcol all right, Heidi,

(18:11):
Ho everybody, and it's good to have you here. Jimmy
is my name. I I I told you I was
going to do something I didn't I said. Yesterday I
was driving into the broadcast studio and I said, oh,
it's that time to call doctor Sean Viskren Associates a
Trail Ridge dental and get my appointment. Because but like you,

(18:33):
I sometimes forget and it's not necessarily top of mind.
I got to do that, and I got to start
look at my son when he's coming home from because
you know, we paid these dental benefits and I have them,
and I need to, you know, get that other teeth
cleaning done this year and go to doctor Shan Visker,
look at his schedule, see when he's home, and we'll
get over there, go together, save one big trip when
he's back from college. I'm going to go ahead and
get on the calendar very soon, even though it'll be

(18:56):
I mean planning down the road, but you need to
start planning down the road as well. Holidays very busy,
and you've got these dental benefits. Make sure you're using
all of them up this year because you know you
get a couple of cleanings or whatever, use them up
this year. Doctor Sean Viskern Associates ready for your entire
family dental needs, from the cleaning to the cosmetic stuff
like whitening, or maybe you got something bigger like orthodonics
or maybe dental implants. Listen, whatever the case may be,

(19:19):
talked to doctor Sean Viskern Associates at Trail Ridge Dental.
Now you say, Jimmy, I don't have insurance and I
haven't gone to the dentist because of that. Listen, talk
to them. Don't give up your dental health and dental wellbeing.
Talk to them about an in house membership program they have.
That membership programs makes dental care accessible to you even
if you don't have insurance, So talk to them about that.
Trail Ridgdental dot com is your website. Now, there's an

(19:40):
office in Johnstown right over by the Shields of Beautiful Complex.
They have their own building and then also in longmod
Trail Ridgdental dot com Johnstown and Longmot Trail Ridgdental dot com.
Tell them Jimmy Lakey told you to be in touch
trail Ridge Dental dot com. All right, I mentioned this
earlier on the program. Oh, by the way, they're breaking news.
Israel is striking has ball off for the first time

(20:01):
at about a week or so. There's some missiles flying
in the Middle East. It doesn't look like it's a
major attack, but Israel is fighting back against the constant
uraje from Hasbal. I will keep a sharp eye on that.
I mentioned earlier in the show that. And I know
it's October and we're trying to think about what we're
going to wear for the Halloween contest or Halloween competition.
But I started something yesterday. Many of you signed up

(20:23):
for my newsletter or my emails that go out for
my charity work. And I appreciate you listening to my
charity work. And we did just the Lord's work, and
I appreciate all the support that many of you give us.
And we started our Christmas drive because we have been
thirty days to raise all the money because we got
to go shopping. My guys in Africa got to go shopping.
You know, We're got to go about hundreds and hundreds
of pairs of shoes and there's not like a costco.

(20:44):
I mean, it's local markets and it's a thing to
buy a few hundred pairs of shoes. We start a
Christmas drive every year by giving every child that we
take care of, we send to school, no matter age,
and as many people as we can in those families,
we try to give a new pair of shoes the
children and those kids there when I first met at
none of mad shoes. There are no shoes. And do
we still have children that aren't even our school or

(21:06):
they'll wear their shoes out. They get one pair a
year from us. We try to get more if the
budget allows, but shoes are prescious. We have kids that
it's kind of funny, but it's kind of sad. We
think they have shoes, but we realize they've warned the
bottom of their shoes off, but they're still putting them
on every day and their feet literally are hanging out
at the bottom. But they want to feel like they
have shoes on, and so we buy a new pair
of shoes for every kid at Christmas. The shoe pair

(21:27):
of shoes cost thirty bucks. And over the next couple
of days, I'm going to take some time and talk
about our Christmas drive, and you can donate to it
and we're going to just buy the stuff for the
kids and we'll present it to them in at the
big Christmas party. Thirty bucks from pair of shoes. Maybe
you can do one pair of shoes for a child.
Just go to Riverspromise dot com, click greatest need and
hit shoes and that would be fantastic. I'll go over

(21:50):
there in November December and I'll be presenting a lot
of this myself, so you will have photos of me
handing out some of the Christmas gifts as well, so
you know it's going to the Christmas gifts. But maybe
you can do a hundred pair of shoes that's three
thousand bucks. Maybe do ten pair of shoes three hundred bucks.
Thirty bucks is a pair of shoes. And again there's
other things we're buying at Christmas. If you got the
newsletter yesterday, you know that even feminine hygiene products, that's

(22:12):
a Christmas gift there, because you know they're just looking
to survive. My friends are just looking to survive, and
that's what we try to do. And they love it.
The shoes are a commodity. They line up, they smile,
they love their shoes and who can help us, so
go to Rivers Promise. That's our Christmas drive. I'm going
to be mentioning it the next couple of days and
next couple of weeks and try to get you to

(22:33):
help me out. And be honest, not a lot of
response yet this morning, but we're just getting started. Rivers Promise,
thirty bucks buys a pair of shoes and just put
Christmas gift and will know what it's for. And I've
got other items. If you're interest in other items, send
me an email. I'll tell you some other items. Like
one hundred and fifty bucks I think is something. It's
a solar lamp, solar power for homes they have no electricity.

(22:53):
That's a big deal. I mean there's other things we
can do, but I want to start with shoes this morning.
Thirty bucks, five pairs of shoe. Oh's one hundred and
fifty bucks, right, yeah, ten pairs of shoes three hundred
one pair of shoes thirty bucks. That's all you got
to do. If you can do one hundred pairs of
shoes and we're buying hundreds of pairs of shoes. By
the way, if you can buy tw one hundred, that
gets us twenty five percent there, so help us out

(23:15):
three thousand bucks. Whatever you can do, whatever the Lord
lets you do. Appreciate it. Riverspromise dot com and hit
the greatest need and they just tp Christmas gift in
the comment of her shoes and we'll figure it all out.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
All right.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
I appreciate you. All right, let me go to by
the way, go to my Facebook page, Facebook dot com
slash Jimmy Laky fan page. I talked about this this
morning and yesterday. We had Tiffany Ward on the show
yesterday and she's a local business owner that got really
just lamb based by the Tiffany Weber, I mean lamb

(23:47):
based by the Larimer County Boarder Commissioners. She had a
balloon up and she told her story yesterday in the program.
That story is up at Jimmy Lakey dot com. That
interview with Tiffany Weber. Very brave businesswoman she is. And
she she said, listen, this is what they did to me.
They shut me down for six weeks out of business.
Larimer County Boarder Commissioners. Jody Shattuck is the main culprit
here District three. They shut me down for six months

(24:08):
because we were not allowed to have private events. We
have private events. Just people showed up and they're going
to welcome their graduate for a little wine tasting, and
we're open to the public. Everybody's coming in doing their
wine tasting. And somebody, I guess to alert people out
on the street, Hey, this is where the grad parties.
They tie the balloon on the front porch of this house,
of this tasting room, and somebody snapped the photos that

(24:29):
they're having private events, and so the well, the Larimer
County Border Commissioners went ballistic. Jody Shattick had just got
power hungry and she just she went to Border Commissioners
on the board. She's threatening to she's threatening to go
out with the backco and rip up the vineyard. And
there's the evil stuff she's threatening there. And then she says,
I can't even two to three months is not enough

(24:50):
punishment for this balloon. I'm looking at revocation of their
entire license. So Tiffany Weber tells the story bravely because
a lot of people are not telling their story about
Jody Shadick because they say they're afraid of retaliation because
they're business owners and it's scary that you got somebody
looked at in District three of the Larimer County Board
of Directors that people are afraid of that she'll retaliate
against them vindictiveness. That's why I tell you about that

(25:14):
ballot you have in Larimer County. You need to make
sure you vote wisely. Tiffany's story is on my website.
An interview I did with her yesterday on the program
I also this morning. Again, I've never met Tiffany Weber.
I don't vote in Larimer County. I just present the
facts as I see them. And now I put up
a video now that's out. That's a video actually showing
the excerpts of Jody Shaddock threatening revocation of a business

(25:36):
license over a balloon, and that is up at my
Facebook page, Facebook dot com slash Jimmy Lakey fan page,
Facebook dot com slas Jimilaky fan page. Live footage from
the Larimer County Board of Directors. So I've given you
two resources. The Tiffany Weber interview live yesterday. We did
a long form interview, and also the video that's up
in my that's Jimmy Lakey dot com. The video is

(25:57):
up at Facebook dot com slas Jimmy Lakey fan page.
I'll see we get the interview over there as well.
And then this morning again never met him before. His
name is Ben Austi and his name uncle Benny Miani
of you know, I guess he owns a lumberyard or
a hardware store. He owns a business in Larimer County,
and he's been around for years. And he's running against
Jody Shattock because he says he's got all these business

(26:17):
people and people saying we're afraid of this woman. This
woman's just off the charts crazy. And those are my words,
my humble opinion, protected by the Constitution. And so he's
running to try to bring some common sense back to
that Larimer County Boarder Commission with Jody Shattick evidently doesn't
have much of and so he's running in that race.
And I interviewed him this morning again, never met him.
I've never donated to his campaign, didn't know who he was.

(26:40):
As a matter of fact, you'll hear the interview if
you go to my website Jimmy Leakey dot com. I
screwed up his name. I didn't know how to pronounce
his name. So it's not like I'm chilling for the
guy but when I hear an elected official threatening to
revoke a business over a balloon and getting heavy handed techniques,
it doesn't matter whether that person's Red team, Blue team,
independent team. I don't care if they're an undeclared that

(27:01):
person's not fit for public service. That person is the
kind of people we don't want representing us. And so
Jody Shaddock's welcome to come on the program, reach out
to with Jimmy Leakey a iHeartMedia dot com. But Ben Ousti,
he reached out to me to come on the show,
and we got him scheduled, and he's scheduled, and that
interview is up at Jimmy Lecky dot com. And if
you get that ballot, remember that's some of the things

(27:23):
that's on your ballot this coming up this coming November,
you have your ballot filled out, and you might want
to remember District three again. There may be four other
names on the ballot. But I've talked to Ben Austi
and he understands the problem that you'll see in that
video from Jody Shaddock and just the tyrannical hatred towards
business owners. It's really weird. Facebook dot com saus Jimmy

(27:47):
Lakey fan page. You can link up to Facebook dot
com saus Jimmy Leakey fanpage. All right, let's do this.
I'm going to take a break. This hour of the
program brought to you by Dan Kaplis Dancapitalist Law, a
serious firm for serious cases. And again I want to
point you towards the pairs of shoes can but you
can buy a pair of shoes for a child in
Rwanda at thirty bucks. Again, we've got to get all
this raised for a lot of this drive in the
next twenty to thirty days. We got some time to

(28:10):
do it, but we got to do it because we
got to go shopping and my guy's got to go
shopping in Rwanda. It takes a while to buy that
many gifts because it ain't like there's a costco in Rwanda.
It takes a little bit of time to get all
this stuff. Riverspromise dot Com anybody out there going to
do one hundred pairs of shoes three thousand bucks? Riverspromise
dot Com greatest need and didn't write shoes in the

(28:31):
comment there. It's all tax deductible. You're into the year donation. Yeah,
maybe you do one pair of thirty bucks. I'll be
back Lakey on the radio, Jimmy Lakey six hundred k
col I'm going to check the inbox now, all right,

(29:09):
I get it, walk into the program. Somebody messaged me
and said, Laky, you said there's other categories. I'm afraid
if I give the shoes, I might want to do
the other categories, but I can only probably give once.
Let me tell you some other ones we're raising for.
I just gotta mention one every once in a while.
Like here's one. It's a tropical rainforest in Rwanda. It rains,
and it rains, it rains. It's like a tote the

(29:31):
rains in Africa. Thirty five dollars can buy a raincoat
or even a whole set of clothes. Again, our kids.
One time I sat with our kids at a little
field trip, and I said, why do our uniforms look
rattier than the other kids, And they said, because our
kids only have one one thing. They wear the uniform
year round, They play in the uniform, they wear the church.
They mean, that's all they have, that's the only clothes
that they literally would have no clothes without our school uniform.

(29:52):
And so our uniforms, so they really just have no clothes.
And so thirty five bucks buy a set of clothes
or a raincoat. A lot of kids need raincoats. They
walked to school in torrential rain for days in a rain.
It's a rainforest. Here's one that I'd never really said.

(30:13):
Not only did I have clothes, especially the younger ones,
but as a young lady, they don't have feminine hygiene products.
They don't have tampon, Tim runn of the village. Okay,
you understee what I'm saying. So seventy five dollars this
is a you say this crazy Christmas gift. No, it's practical,
and they love it because they get to live. They
told me one time first built a house over there.

(30:35):
Ladies said, I now live like a human being. I
don't like an animal anymore. And because she slept under
banana leaves for her whole life, literally no house, banana
leaves held them by sticks. Seventy five dollars covers a
year's supply of feminine projects for products for a young lady.
That's something else was part of it. So I'm just
thrown these out there because somebody said, well, if I

(30:57):
give the shoes. What if you spark me with another one,
I want to give to that. Again, we're going to
start with this shoes, but if you specific specify, Hey,
put this to girls seventy five bucks. That's a year
supply to feminine hygiene products ninety dollars. These kids sleep
on the ground. We build out. We build lots of houses.
We still need to probably build some more, but ninety

(31:18):
dollars you can get a kid off the ground, get
a mattress and a blanket. Ninety bucks mattress and blankets.
That's something you don't think of for Christmas, but imagine
never slept on a bed in your life. Most of
these kids happened. So that's another Christmas item we're doing.
And then two hundred dollars is a solar powered light
and the child's family and it's a solar power that
they recharge and they have electricity. We were working in

(31:40):
the next year so to get electricity out there. But
that's a whole government project we're working on. So there's
different opportunities out there for you. And so thirty thirty
bucks is the pair of shoes. Thirty five somebody just
messaged me and said that by thirty three pairs of
shoes to get us. They said, well, somebody message me
having these shoes you want. I said, we got about
two two hundred and fifty kids for sure we need

(32:01):
to get shoes for. And then we got other there's
kids that are in our waiting lists that aren't sponsored,
they're not in school. We're full, and so we try
to get them shoes as well. So listen, we got
shoes galore. Somebody just messed them out or read that
and see if I have permission to say nay, but we'll
do matching funds on it if somebody want to do it.
Somebody doing thirty three pairs of shoes, who's going to

(32:22):
do another thirty three? That gives a sixty six pair
of shoes? And you can see we start marching towards
success there. Again, these are kids that don't have shoes.
We would never have shoes without us. When I met him,
they did have clothes. I mean literally, it was a
button neeckedness. It was bad. That's been several years ago.
We've come along ways with a built legacy. Christian Academy.
Go to the website Riverspromise dot com, hit the donate

(32:43):
button You can hit either the Legacy Christian Academy link
for the calls or hit the greatest need. The key
is in the comments put shoes or put Christmas gifts,
and that just kind of lets you know, once we
get the shoes, we start with the shoes. Everybody's got
to have shoes, and then again feminine products. So that's
coming up. I'll mention that, but those have just thrown
those out there. Hey, for the next hour is gonna

(33:05):
be fun. I think it will be right. It's gonna
be fun. Everybody say where you're at Lakys six hundred
