4-11-25 - 8am - Dems Musical Chairs and Booster Shots

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Mike Joe Scarborough is so irritating to listen to that.
I think I'd almost rather listen to John Carry or
Hillary Clinton.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Wow, that's a major that's a major dig at somebody.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
I can also make that happen. Yeah, don't be careful
if that's what you wish for, all right, right, don't Yeah,
I just caution you this.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
At this point doesn't make this.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
We should we see the situation. We should name this
passive aggressingness. With Michael and.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Dragon, we can go back to the Redhead talkbacks.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Yeah, we can always do that. Let's talk about Colorado
for a moment. But by the way, we have an
announcement to make. Dragon Redbeard has convinced me.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Not because we're lazy, partially because we're lazy, but not
fully because we're lazy.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
You know when everybody, whenever someone jumps in that excitedly
to tell you, we're not doing what we're going to
do because we're lazy, you know we're doing it precisely
because because we're lazy. We're tired, we're done. It's Friday.
It's Friday, We're done. Dragon comes in and goes, you know,
I think I think we could do a full two

(01:21):
hours of taxpayer Really, it'd be close. And so I
load them up and I'm counting them as they're loading.
I overtn a little bit. I think they're thirty three.
There's not quite thirty three, but I say.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Twenty eight, twenty six or twenty eight, yeah, something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
And I said, well, I would rather start at eight
thirty as opposed to eight, because I don't want to
run out at eight forty five than have an empty
segment to do some short thing at eight forty five.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
I could do your stories and that would be that
would be continuing our laziness. True, right, but because there
are so many and we're getting behind on so many,
which is actually a good sign, and.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Our associate producers slightly upset as to how we're not
keeping up on all that.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Oh, I hadn't heard that.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well, I mean, you know, he he's got his quirks.
If you haven't noticed.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Until, I've never known.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Very helpful because he compiles all this stuff. Again, our laziness.
We really don't do anything with taxpayerley shots.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
It's damn.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
He compiles them. He sends them to me, I upload them,
and then we play them.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I don't even listen to them until I play them true,
because I want to be as surprised as anybody else.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
You want to take it raw, I want to take
it raw.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
That's right. So Friday, Well you can tell it's Friday,
can't you. And you can tell you used to work
on the third floor totally, Because while I may have
fought that at another time during my radio career, I
would have never said that I to take the taxpayer
relief shots raw. I would have never done that. So
we're going to start taxpayer relief shots at eight thirty.

(03:09):
But before we get to that at eight thirty, I'm
going to go to Colorado for a moment. Sometime today,
Michael Bennett, the senior, formerly accidental senator for the state
of Colorado, but the senior Democrat senator in our delegation,

(03:30):
is going to announce, according to all sources, including our
own newsroom, which relies on all the other sources, is
going to announce his run for governor, which is Polish's
term limited. So he's going to announce he's going to
run for governor. Now here's what I want you to
think about. Who announced that she was going to run

(03:53):
for an office. I thank you the last week or
week before. And that's our totally competent boob of a
Secretary of State, Jenna Griswold, who can't even manage the
secretary of State's office competently. She announces last week that

(04:15):
she's going to run for attorney general. Now in the
news this morning, there is breaking news that Kamala Harris
has now boxed herself into a binary choice of what
she's going to do. She has a choice, she has

(04:38):
said publicly. I can run for president, or I can
run for the governor of the state of run for
California governor. But I can't do both. Here's what I
want you to stop and think about all three of
those individuals.

Speaker 6 (04:56):
You think you just fell out of a coconut tree.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
Man, I think she fell head first out of the
coconut tree. All three of those have spent their entire lives.
I will give Michael Bennett a little bit of an excuse.
He did work briefly for was it Phil Enshoots or

(05:23):
was it John Malone? He worked for one of the
billionaires in Colorado for a little while before he became
the superintendent of the Denver Public Schools. And totally f
that up. And so when he f's up to Denver
Public Schools, Bill Ridder, the then Democrat Governor of Colorado,
saves his ass by appointing him to a vacant Senate seat.

(05:50):
And he spent his entire So he spent all those
years as the superintendent of the Denver Public Schools and
then goes and becomes the accidental senator for the state
of Colorado and now wants to come back and become
the governor of Colorado. These people are leeches. Jenna Griswold,
Secretary of State, rather than once screwing up that entire office,

(06:12):
I mean literally screwing it up, she can't. She couldn't
manage her way out of a wet paper bag. So
now decides that, oh, I can't win reelection or I'm
term limited or whatever explain she's got. But now she
wants to stay on the government teat So now she
understands that she cannot possibly go up against Michael Bennett.

(06:34):
Now remember these are all Democrats. They're all Democrats, So
Jenna Griswold decides because they all talk among themselves, and
if they're not doing it directly, their staffs are talking
among themselves, or they're campaign managers or contributors. They're all
sitting back there. I hate these people. They're all sitting
back there trying to decide, let's play musical chairs. Who's

(06:57):
going to do what here? And you know that Polus
is helping orchestrate all of it, because he's getting ready
to ride off into the sunset. And while he claims
that a little birdie told me that he does not
want to run for president immediately because of his kids,
he still wants to be president. So he'll find something

(07:19):
else to do. He'll land at a think tank. He'll
start a think tank, he'll become some muckety muck somewhere
at some hedge fund, or do whatever he's going to do,
or just sit on his billions or whatever, and he
will eventually figure out a way to weasel his way
back into running for president. Maybe sooner than later, maybe
later than sooner, who knows. But they're all playing musical chairs.

(07:44):
And while they're all playing musical chairs, we are sitting
here as conservatives, Republicans, libertarians, right of center, whatever, we
happen to be, even moderates. Because hell's bells, this has
turned into a socialist utopia state. This has turning to
a Marxist state. We're all sitting around just twiddling our
thumbs while they decide that who's going to take what

(08:11):
spot to control the levers of government in the state
of Colorado. Axios is out with The story came out
late last night. The Democrat Party's favorability has tanked since
last November among Colorado voters, according to a new bipartisan

(08:34):
survey from the Colorado Polling Institute. Now this is even
true for national Democrats. They're in the tank too. There's
a story I'll see if I can find it real
quickly in a minute. Kamala Harris wanted to go to
Wisconsin to campaign for that woman running for the Supreme Court.

(08:57):
The Democrat Party told her, no, do not show up.
She's that toxi. So instead she decided, okay, well I'll
do one of these you know, remote appearances. So I'll
get on zoom or teams or you know Skype skypes
going away, She'll get on and she'll do an online presentation. Well,

(09:18):
you know what they did. The Democrats in Wisconsin were
so afraid of her because she's so toxic, that they said, well, okay,
but it's going to be a private It's going to
be a private appearance, no public no, so no public
online appearance either. So what they did was they did
a they did a zoom call with Kamala Harris with

(09:38):
a few donors in place so they could listen to
what she had to say. And then those same Democrats
came out and said after the election, Yeah, we didn't
want her in the state. We didn't want her up
here campaigning at all. We didn't want her we did
in her face, we didn't want her voice. We didn't
want Kamala Harris anywhere near us because she's so toxic

(09:58):
and Wisconsin Democrats so turned off by her that we
just told her no. And even when she came back
and wanted to do something online, we limited that exposure too. Now,
part of that was because they were so focused on
the Democrats in Wisconsin were so focused on Elon Musk
that they did not want her detracting from their attacks
on Elon Musk because they knew that was their winning strategy.

(10:23):
Now let's go back to Colorado. Democrat favorability among Colorado
voters at large fell to thirty nine percent last month.
That's from a high of fifty two percent approval in November,
while their unfavorability ranking among Colorado voters jumped to fifty

(10:45):
six percent from forty five percent. The online survey pulled
six hundred and fifteen likely twenty twenty six voters between
March twenty seven and thirty first, with a margin of
era of plus or minus three point some percent. Now,
that is an amazing reversal, and it's driven almost entirely

(11:09):
by Kamala Harris voters, including both Democrats and unaffiliated, who
supported Harris's who supported Harris in her presidential campaign. Now,
let's look at the other side. The Republican favorability among
Colorado voters improved, albeit slightly. Nonetheless, that at least there

(11:33):
was an uptick from thirty seven percent in November to
thirty nine percent in March. Now that's because of more
support from Trump voters. Though a majority of all voters
not Republicans, a majority of all voters in Colorado fifty

(11:55):
six percent still view the party unfavorably. What's the point
of all of it. The point of all of this
is pretty simple. Democrats have a grip on this state,
and that goes back to the blueprint. When when Striker

(12:17):
and gil and Polis published the blueprint of how they
were going to take over Colorado, people poo pooed it,
and I remember a few there were a few in Colorado,
particularly in the state legislature that Mark Hellman and and

(12:40):
Brophy and others were screaming from the mountaintops. You got
to pay attention to this, You've got to pay attention
to it. There were others too. I know I'm leaving
something out, but we didn't pay any attention to it.
And now they're just playing musical chairs. So the question
then becomes, how do we defeat this grip that they

(13:05):
have in Colorado? Why have a theory about that? I
don't know who it is. I don't even know if
that person lives in Colorado right now, But apparently that
doesn't make any difference anymore. If Hillary Clinton, a resident,
a born in Illinois, a resident of Arkansas for an

(13:26):
entire life, can become the junior US Senator from New York,
then somebody living in I don't know, North Carolina, Utah, California, Wyoming,
New Mexico, or maybe even here in the state of Colorado,
there is somebody with a personality, somebody that has the charisma,
somebody that doesn't have any baggage, somebody that has some

(13:49):
sort of ability to communicate with voters that we could
latch onto. And really I'm not talking about the party
as far as I'm concerned. If the Colorado Republican Party,
you go out raise money, do your job. Go out

(14:11):
and raise some money among people who are silly enough
to give money to you, and go help elect some
you know, or do this. Support Kathleen Chandler at the
Independence Institute on her local government program and get involved
with that and go get on a local border commission somewhere,

(14:33):
become a planning commission member, Run for a city council,
run for a water district, run for the library board,
or maybe even run for the library board. I don't
care about. Run for a board somewhere and get elected
to that and start working your way up. We've got
to start building the grassroots level. But based on these numbers,
I think, and I know I hate personality driven politics,

(15:00):
and it can't be all personality driven, but a strong,
vibrant personality that can articulate positions that even that will
attract those urban voters who are fed up with the
way Colorado's going. Who are fed up with the crime,

(15:20):
fed up with the gang bangers, fed up with trendo arragua,
fed up with the lack of transparency, like we talked
about the very beginning of this program from the city
of Aurora. Fed up with the crap that the city
and County of Denver feed you every single day, fed
up with roads, bridges and highways. I mean, think about this.
There are a bazillion things that if you want to
run a negative campaign about how Democrats have effed up

(15:45):
this state, you've got You've got buckets and buckets of
stuff to bitch about. But at the same time, you
have to be able to articulate how you're going to
turn it around. There's got to be a and I
really do hesitate to say this because some people will
immediately be turned off. But there's got to be a

(16:07):
Donald Trump like figure that just doesn't give a flying
thesis about anything, who's willing to say, hey, listen, this
is so bad. Look at the roads, bridges and highways.
Look at the crime. Look at all of this. Look
what they do with your ability to self defend yourself.
Look at everything that the Democrats look at the transgender bill.

(16:27):
I have I've talked enough about the transgender bill. Well,
maybe I'll do that next week. But look at everything
they're doing in this state that's turning us into California.
We can turn it around by doing X, X, X,
X and X. There's got to be somebody out there
that would do that. Somebody, and again it does have
to be called. It doesn't have to be somebody from Colorado,

(16:48):
somebody somewhere. I think these poll numbers indicate that we
are reaching that. As I always said, we were reaching
a tipping point at the national level where it and
Biden was the one that did it. Biden is the
one that I think is the tipping point. He didn't
do anything, but the people that were running the presidency

(17:09):
during his four years, all of the spending that they
threw out there that caused all the inflation, all of
the denigration of our world stance, our ability to create
and maintain the American world order, that was the tipping point.
And then you get a really bad candidate. And trust me,
Michael Bennett is going to be a horrible candidate. All

(17:33):
he's got going for him is that he's a former
United States Senator. So there is somebody who is Trump
like who can come out and just speak plain English
to Colorado voters that could beat Michael Bennett. There's also

(17:53):
got to be somebody out there that has some managerial
skills that could say, look at look at the Coloro
Secretary of State's office. I know how to create a password.
I'll go to what I'll go to one password the
app and cut a deal for the state of Colorado
and we'll impose one password on the Secretary of State's

(18:16):
office and we'll be able to password protect voting machines. Yeah.
I'll even pay for it out of my pocket. I'll
pay the whatever it is, ninety five dollars a year
for that program. There's got to be somebody out there,
Please somebody somewhere, because I think these numbers show that

(18:37):
we could start turning the state around if we had
the right people.

Speaker 6 (18:41):
So sad that we have been taken over by all
these dang commedies who think they're just going to keep winning.
I hope Polis is signing of that BS gun bill.
It just wakes everybody up because I'm sure there's Democrats
who own guns.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
So this is so sad.

Speaker 6 (18:59):
Color it was just wrecked beyond repair.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Good money, goobles.

Speaker 7 (19:04):
This is doctor Anthony Fauci, and it's time for your
booster shots.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
You're not gonna do the intro.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Well, I figured since it was a pre emptied shots,
then we should do the booster shots.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
I see, so we're doing booster shots, so.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
The normal hour, I will start with the normal intro.
But seeing this is added bonus, so.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
These are all right? Okay, but I will say I'm.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
Certainly happy to play that one if you will.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
I don't want to interrupt.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
It makes sense in my head.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well, then then it must make sense in everybody else's.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Head, and not yours and not mine. Yeah, that's exactly exactly.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
So, but I will go ahead and tell you that
we are going to start doing taxpayer relief shots today
because apparently our associate producer is bitching and moaning because
we have such a backlog of them. At least that's
what Dragon tells me that we need to get caught up,
So we're gonna try to get caught up by starting
taxpayer relief shots early. Why do we call them taxpayer.

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Not because we're lazy or anything, but because we just
have so many No.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
It's because we're accommodating. We're cummidating, and we care about
the goobers.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
This is for you.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Although there'll be somebody will tune in that has been
listening so far. They're just out tuning and they're gonna
hear a tax payer release shot and then I'm gonna
get a nasty text message about why do you.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Do in tax pay release shots?

Speaker 1 (20:34):
Today?

Speaker 3 (20:35):
Turn til nine o'clock.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
You know, you know somebody's gonna bitch about it.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
And we used to many years ago do tax pay
release shots at eight o'clock.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
We did that? Was that was years ago, Yeah, which
means that, yeah, I've been working together for too long,
too long exactly. We call them tax prayer relief shots.
Because somebody's breaking in your house here, more than welcome
to shoot them.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
In Santaoise Accounting, we prefer that you do.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Actually hopefully you'll save the taxpayers money because if you
do stop a gangbanger, that saves the cost of incarceration,
a jury, trial, public defender meals everything. So you say,
the taxpayer's money. Jeff Grady says, I would.

Speaker 8 (21:17):
Highly suggest that if a looter breaks into your home, comes.

Speaker 2 (21:21):
Into your home while you're there to.

Speaker 8 (21:23):
Steal stuff that you take your gun.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
And you shoot him.

Speaker 8 (21:27):
You shoot him so that he looks like grated cheese,
because you know what, that's one looter that won't break
into anyone else's home.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
You not only say the taxpayer's money, you might prevent
another taxpayer from having to do a taxpayer relief shot.
So it's a win win. Jeff Graddy also.

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Says I would tell them, if you value your life,
you probably shouldn't do that in Polk County because the
people of Polk County like guns.

Speaker 5 (21:53):
They have guns.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
I encourage them to own guns, and they're going to
be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
And if you try to break into their homes to
steal to set fires, I'm highly.

Speaker 4 (22:02):
Recommending they blow you back out of the house with
their guns.

Speaker 5 (22:05):
So leave the community alone.

Speaker 2 (22:08):
Just blow them right back out of the house. Don't
you have a visual of that happening. I can just
see it.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Happening every eighties movie ever.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
I just go flying, okay, dragon, just so you know,
because I know you don't pay any attention, I'm going
to start at the top.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Your top could be different than my top, depending on
how it's sorted.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Mine's sorted by Okay, Well anyway, I'm starting at the top.
Just work my way through. Yeah, okay. Man brings the
knife to a gunfight with the popo. Gee. I wonder
how that works out.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
I would tell them if you value.

Speaker 3 (22:45):
It's a double click?

Speaker 2 (22:47):
Michael, Why, I'm really curious.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Why don't you have to double click.

Speaker 2 (22:58):
To listen to me? For a moment? I double click
as I told you what touram was doing.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Did the wave turned blue? Did the wave form change?

Speaker 2 (23:06):
I didn't pay attention. I paid attention to the highlighted file.
Do we have to do?

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Adobe one A what a file turnier?

Speaker 5 (23:14):
Listen to me?

Speaker 2 (23:15):
Ah, the file name turned blue?

Speaker 3 (23:20):
Congratulations? Did the wave form change? Was shot by police?
First of five.

Speaker 9 (23:25):
New details have emerged about a shooting that left a
suspect dead following a police chase last Sunday. The San
Antonio Police Department has identified the officer involved as Orlando Jimenez,

Live in Florence, Whitney Libel News nineteen Well.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
She was all that, she got it all in though,
very good for her. The pop pole shoot and kill
a man who.

Speaker 13 (25:35):
I shouldn't laugh and that breaking news is in Swipt's
Ranch where San Diego police shot and killed a man
with a gun.

Speaker 11 (25:42):
Good afternoon, Thanks for joining us. I'm Monica Deen.

Speaker 13 (25:44):
I'm Katherine Garcia. Police responded to this neighborhood where they
found a man, as you could see there, standing in
a driveway in bare feet and wearing headphones. He was
holding a handgun. Police say when the man lifted that gun,
they shot him. N BBC seven Sean Albanize is in
that neighborhood right now, She joins us with the latest Sundel.

Speaker 14 (26:03):
I'm standing on Cyprus Canyon Drive right now. You can
see still an active scene behind me, and the Sheriff's
apartment isn't giving out any more information right now. But
I did get to catch up with a neighbor who
drove by as all of this was unfolding. Says it
started at about twelve thirty this afternoon, driving up.

Speaker 8 (26:20):
The street and I went past the little Silver Court.
So the guy's standing there with what looked like a
forty five.

Speaker 13 (26:26):
Nineteen eleven automatic in his hand, and across the street
on the other corner he's holding on orc and insect
to side guy behind his.

Speaker 5 (26:33):
Truck and he's standing there calmly.

Speaker 8 (26:35):
I pulled over, looked over the wall, took a few pictures.

Speaker 15 (26:38):
And I had to leave my truck's right there in
the middle of.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
The grind Sita.

Speaker 14 (26:41):
We have video of what that neighbor, Michael was watching.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
He asked us not to share his last name.

Speaker 8 (26:46):
He was fidgeting back and forth through waving his hand
like this and switching the gun back and forth.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
How the way, it's very calm. Stayed in the same
place and then so we heard two shots. I don't
know if it was a being background. Sounded like a
pretty sharp report. So neighbor just texted me if listening
to police scanner, that this suspect is down.

Speaker 14 (27:07):
So far, police have only confirmed one of their officers
shot the gunman, who's now dead. Michael says he feels
sorry for everyone involved, especially the gunman's family. Is shooting
didn't affect him more because he feels numb after another
shooting happened just to block away almost ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (27:23):
I heard the shots.

Speaker 8 (27:24):
I went around the corner and called the police, and
here we go deja voul again.

Speaker 14 (27:30):
The shooting that Michael's talking about there is one that
happened back in twenty fifteen when a gunman opened fire
on a Channel eight sportscaster. That sportscaster survived and the
gunman is now serving a life in prison, and after
today shooting, police have been going door to door making
sure there weren't any other victims that were hurt before
they got here. We're still waiting for so much more information,
but reporting live in Script's Ranch Shan, Dominese, NBC seven.

Speaker 13 (27:53):
I remember that incident a decade ago. Well, when I
saw the street name, I thought the same thing. All right,
thank you seandell yep, thanks.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
You, Shandal. I don't know why, I don't. I don't
understand what goes through people's minds. But you're holding a
gun and you're out, you're out in public. You have
the gun in your hand, and the cops tell you to,
you know, put the gun down. Why don't you bend

(28:22):
over and lay the gun on the ground. I wonder
how many of these are suicide by cops or how
many of them are just I'm sorry, I don't know
this person, but how many are just stupid people. They're
just like, oh, you want my gun here? And they
and they raise their hand as if to pass the
gun off to the cop. Of course, the cops going

(28:42):
to shoot you. Uh, let's see the popo shoot and
kill a well, huh, we were talking about this kind
of action earlier.

Speaker 11 (28:53):
A man suspected in multiple armed robberies is shot and
killed by police and a parking lot in Walnuart Park.

Speaker 16 (28:59):
But I er opted around twelve thirty and was captured
on video by a KTLA viewer Sarah Welch Live at
the scene with more on a dramatic showdown and that
viewer video, Sarah.

Speaker 11 (29:12):
Schery Meccahi, good evening. Yeah, the investigation is taking place
right around the corner there. You can see it says
public parking. There's a parking lot in that area. And
as you said, yes, on that video you can hear
several shots and the Southgate officers telling that armed robbery
suspect to get out of the vehicle.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Watch here.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
He here we go.

Speaker 11 (29:42):
And on that video you can hear several shots in
that parking lot. The officer involves shooting unfolded around twelve
thirty this afternoon with Southgate officers located that arm robbery
suspect in Walnut Park here and unincorporated Los Angeles. That
man wanted for two armed robberies in Southgate that took
place eight days ago. Now on that video you can
also hear detectives in plain clothes commanding that man to

(30:03):
get out of the vehicle. Investigators say the suspect produced
a firearm and that's when the officer involved shooting took place.
Here's more from La County Homicide.

Speaker 2 (30:12):
Thank you for.

Speaker 17 (30:15):
Once they tried to make contact with him, he produced
a firearm and an officer involved shooting occurred. The mail
was struck by gunfire and pronounced dead at the scene.
No officers or any other person's injured as a result
of it. And that is where we're at right now.

Speaker 11 (30:34):
Video shows investigators tell us that they recovered two firearms
at the scene. We don't know who the victim is,
although a woman at the scene here this afternoon thinks
it might be her son. She's waiting to get more
information from investigators. No officers involved or hurt in this,
and again, this section of the street here is expected
to be blocked for several hours. Several residents have been

(30:54):
trying to get in and out with an ID as
this investigation is expected.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
To take the next several hours.

Speaker 11 (30:59):
Sharing my We'll send it back to you, Sarah, Thank you,
thank you.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
Sarah. All right, Yeah, we're doing booster shots early today
because We've got so many taxpayer relief shots. More coming
up next.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Good morning, Michael, Good morning, Dragon.

Speaker 15 (31:18):
Say, was this some kind of strange, cruel joke to
be playing the taxpayer relief shots at eight forty? I
thought I was an hour late for my appointment at
ten when it's not even quite nine.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
Hmmm.

Speaker 7 (31:42):
This is doctor Anthony Fauci and it's time for your
booster shots.

Speaker 3 (31:48):
Hey, it's not our fault. You weren't listening at the
beginning of the hour.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
That's it, Dragon, Now you liked me. Blame the listener
for everything, Blame the audience for everything.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
We said we were going to do it at eight o'clock.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
We told you we were going to do this because
we've got such a plethora of facts Bay reliefships that
we have to do exters to kind of get caught up.
By the way, Michael Bennett and Caplas is right, it'll
be such a key. Can you imagine Michael Bennett just
droning on and on and on, Oh my god, and
then Phil Wiser, I mean, you got two ugly guys

(32:22):
and then you got two the blah speakers, and they
both went. But listen to this. Now, Bennett's term. His
Senate term is not up until twenty twenty eight, and
he has said, at least to the Denver Gazette that
he intends to remain in office through next year's election.

(32:43):
So if he wins, Bennett will be positioned to appoint
his own replacement in the Senate under Colorado law, which
is exactly how he got his current job fifteen years
ago after screwing up the Demi republic schools. It sounds great,
a fantastic jag like I like to say, that's fantastic news.

(33:08):
Back to taxpayer relief shops.

Speaker 8 (33:10):
UH.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
One suspect is bill.

Speaker 10 (33:15):
Gunfire rings out in a quiet, sent in neighborhood this
morning after police attempt and arrest and are confronted by
a man.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
With a gun.

Speaker 10 (33:22):
Good afternoon, Thanks for being here on CAQ when Brent
Solomon has the night off. Saint Louis County police say
two officers were making an arrest and a harassment investigation
at the home. Five on your Side's Megan Kurrent has
been at the scene all afternoon. She joins us now
with the latest.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Megan, Okay, but we.

Speaker 18 (33:40):
Still haven't released the man's identity. Like you mentioned, this
is a quiet neighborhood and many people were out of
their house just wondering what was going on. It was
after ten am when two officers came to Hawkins Bend
Drive to rest a man wanted in a prior harassment investigation.
That's when police say the man alone did we pull

(34:00):
out a gun. They struggled to stop him. Both officers
shot at the man inside the home and he died.
One officer injured his hand in that struggle. Neighbors tell
us the man and woman who lived in the house
were going through a divorce. Mike Gunther lives two houses
down and says he heard around fifteen shots.

Speaker 19 (34:18):
If I was in the yard breaking leaves in the
backyard and I heard some noise and I, you know,
like somebody slammed into something or something. It was weird.
So my wife said, there's something going on, and we
heard the helicopter. We went outside and we saw the
county police cars, the squad cars pulling up.

Speaker 18 (34:40):
Neighbors also tell us that the suspect was a local physician.
Policeaid they planned to give us more details and once
they do, you'll be the first to know. We're pretty
live in Fenton. Meighan Kernan five on your side.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
Yeah, you know you're one of suspect and you end
up the RT so tex Player really, shots will continue you next.
We got rid of a few of the additional ones,
but we still got a lot to go. By the way,
somebody on the text line says F Michael Bennett, I
didn't realize that his first name started with him F.

(35:15):
F Michael Bennett, Frank France
