02-05-25 FULL SHOW - Takeaways From Donald Trump's SHOCKING Gaza Press Conference

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I'm come to a Wednesday edition of the show.

Speaker 3 (00:02):
As I was walking up.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Today, I realized it's Wednesday, and that means just two
more days until the weekend. I don't know why this
week is going very very slowly for me, but I'm
gonna whip through the show for the next three hours.
I'm your host for the next three hours. Mandy Connell, joined,
of course by my right in man today and for
a Rod who is covering the Super Bowl in New Orleans.

(00:24):
We've got Zach Sneakers running the board, or keep me
on track Zach, as one of our listeners has named you.
Now happy I have a nickname on track, Zach. That's
what's what's going to be happening here, And boy do
we have a lot of stuff going on. I just
saw this story right as the show open was playing,
and I want to get into this very very quickly
before we go to the blog, because the story is developing.

(00:46):
US Customs, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested more than
one hundred alleged members of the Venezuelan gang trendy Aragua
during a series of raids in Aurora, Colorado. Today. The
operation targeted apartment complexes where the gang has reportedly taken
over empty units. The raids were supported by the USDA,

(01:08):
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives, Customs
and Border Protection, and the FBI. So raids were conducted,
according to our friends at KDVR, at at least four
apartment complexes, and the apartment complexes were let me go
down here and find that there was the edge at

(01:33):
Lowry and Aurora. There were at least four other locations. However,
they have not been confirmed, so that in addition to
ABC News reporting that Whispering Pines Complex in Aurora was
also targeted, Agents went door to door, leaving red tape
on the doors where nobody answered. They placed green tape
on doors where residents answered, and allowed agents to check

(01:55):
inside for any legal immigrants. As the early morning raid
went on, protesters were outside the building using a megaphone
to tell residents not to answer their doors or speak
to the federal agents. So my question for people doing
that specifically, how are you not complicit in a crime?
How are you not an accessory after the fact. Now

(02:17):
it's one thing, and I've got this on the blog today.
I think maybe that the order the executive order that
Trump issued that prevented organizations who give advice to people
who are either here legally or want to work through
the immigration project or process. There's a lot of these organizations,

(02:39):
especially in Colorado, and Trump issued an executive order basically
saying you can't do that. Well, he's now rescinded the
executive order. And when he issued that one, I was like,
that feels like a clear free speech issue. You cannot
tell someone you can't say something right now. I guess
they were looking at it from the same way I'm
looking at this same Or are they complicit in a crime?

(03:01):
I don't think so. But that's whole like a free
speech issue that's been rescinded. And you know, the Trump
executive orders are so there's so many. I actually am
trying to book a constitutional scholar on Friday's show where
we can look at some of these. Some of them
I'm not sure are going to Some of them appear

(03:22):
to be just yeah, that's gonna hold up, you know
what I mean, Like, yeah, that's gonna be okay. Some
of them, I'm like, I don't know. The courts are
gonna have a blast trying to figure this out. But
that's not why Trump is doing what he's doing. I mean,
he's just basically going scorched earth and then Congress can
catch up later if they have the stones. I don't

(03:42):
know if they do. Mandy, I just finished the blog.
Now you're thirty three percent smarter Texter on the Common
Spirit health text line at five six six nine. Oh,
let me continue. Mandy just finished the blog. I have
determined that if Dems are freaking out, Trump is probably right.
Yep yep, yep, yep, yep. Andy. I thought we were

(04:02):
told that Trenda Aragua did not exist in Colorado and
was not making an impact. That's why I'm doing this
story right now, because this, more than anything, really should
put enough egg on the faces of our local politicians
who tried to downplay when Danielle Drinsky was sounding the alarm,
tried to make her look like, look at that crazy

(04:23):
lady talking about people that aren't here and they don't exist.
Do you know what I didn't see. I don't see
any local law enforcement arresting the members of the gang.
And we talked a couple of days ago to a
guy from the DEEA, and I asked about local cooperation,
and he said, well, you know, local authorities are not
allowed to coordinate or help with any of this stuff

(04:46):
because of the laws on the books now about immigration
in Colorado, which, by the way, the governor will tell
us does not mean we're a sanctuary state, even though
it totally means we're a sanctuary state totally. So the
DEA also said agents were conducting a raid at the
seat of run apartments, sharing a video of agents using

(05:06):
a smoke grenade before entering the apartment. So in a statement,
ICE's Denver Enforcement and Removal Operations Team confirmed the focus
on trendy Iragua members. Acting ICE Director Caleb Vitello stated
that the agency had to conduct community raids due to
a lack of cooperation from local jails. See, that's what

(05:26):
being a sanctuary state gets you. Instead of arresting these
people locally and then calling ICE and saying, hey, come
get these guys, they actually have to do raids where
they're deploying smoke bombs and knocking on everybody's doores trying
to find out who they are because of our sanctuary
state laws. Anyway, that's going on today. So that's fun NTO,
let's talk about what's on the blog because it's awesome

(05:47):
at that texture. Forgot to tell you how awesome it is,
but it's awesome. Find the blog by go into mandy'sblog
dot com. That's mandy'sblog dot com. Look for the headline
this is two five twenty five blog why USAID is
the heart of the deep state and Trump takes Gaza.
Click on that and here are the headlines you will
find within.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Anyone's listening office.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Halpen ergon all with ships and clipments and say that's
how a press plant.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Today on the blog get your weather questions ready? Why
is the left soo freaked out about USAID? Scrolling? Trump
says the Palestinians need a new homeland. Scrolling the union
payoff bill goes to the Colorado Senate, Trump presents an
order blocking immigrant organization. Souring on the social media lawmakers,
well you're a king, super workers strike. FBI agents don't

(06:36):
want their names released, haying you boulevard sucks and it's
getting worse. BULLUS wants to jack up large group insurance rates.
Colorado voters are souring on Democrat priorities single payer Dems
still try and Miami Beach does not want spring breakers
a mass shooting in Sweden. Early birds know what's up?
What are they saying? It's time to give green tea

(06:57):
a look? What business should you start to change your life?
No one wants your stuff? Straight, male, friend, Why do
companies release Super Bowl commercials? Early? This is Joe Biden's
army click uh. Those are the headlines on the blog
at mandy'sblog dot com. And there is a video on

(07:19):
the blog and it is a young man and he
is in ROTC you can tell from his uniform. But
if this is the best and brightest going into the military,
because if you're in ROTC, you're going into the military
as an officer. You're not an enlisted person. You are
going in as an officer. And I watched this video

(07:42):
and I cried a little inside. I really did, because
this kid is an idiot, and a drill sergeant yelling
at him about his hair, which is out of control
at the beginning of the video scared the blank out
of him. And then he goes, I just I can't,
I just can't. I want people to go into the

(08:07):
military who understand that the military's job is to break
things and to kill people. That is the role of
the military. That is what they are put on this
planet to do. Now, they may do a bunch of
other crap, but their main job is to be scary
as blank so other people don't mess with us. That's all.

(08:30):
It's you know what, The best defense is a good way.
The best offense is a good defense. Yes, that's what
I meant to say. I want people to be scared
and intimidated. You watch this video of the skin at
the bottom, and it's like, there's not a snowballs chance
in hell anyone is going to be scared or intimidated
by this kid. And he's getting a free college education

(08:51):
by being in ROTC, and I have to wonder, like,
I just what is he doing? Why are you in ROTC?
He says he doesn't want to look like some r
me bratt with his new haircut. I'm like, sorry about
your luck. That's what the army requires of you in uniform.

Speaker 5 (09:06):
Yeah, that's part of being in. That's like signing up
and being like, I don't like how this camo looks.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
Well.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Let me tell you I was told by several people like, oh,
you should have joined the military. I'm like, I don't
look good in olive drab it's not a good color
for me. So it was not really a good choice
for me. I'm not good at not questioning authority, especially
when I see something that I think is stupid.

Speaker 5 (09:27):
Yeah, yeah, sorry, you knew that about yourself, you didn't
sign up for it, and then go.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Well, this doesn't apply to me. I made a terrible
mistake by doing really well on the ASPAB test, and
then every recruiter within a hundred miles was calling my
house every day, and finally I was like, yeah, I'm
not doing that. I'm not going in the military. It's
not it's not happening. I have no interest in this.

(09:53):
Not that there's anything wrong with it, you know. I
my son has been in the military, my husband was
in the military. I'm married into a military family. It
just was not for me. I just don't see myself
doing well in a situation where you don't get to
question orders. For a good part of your early career,
I don't do well in those situations. Now that being said,

(10:14):
I don't always question authority when things make sense to me, right,
when somebody explains something, this is why we're doing it.
Even in radio I had a boss once it would
come out first of all, dude knew nothing about talk radio.
He was a music programmer, and they basically put him
in charge of the talk station. And then I had
been in talk radio and I knew more about it
than he did. But he would come up to these

(10:35):
dumb ass edicts. They were just so stupid. This is
one of the things he tells me. And I'm not
even making this up. So every day I would say
on my show, when my first show in Fort Myers,
I would say on my show, good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
you know, some version of that, ladies and gentlemen. He
tells me that I should not say ladies and gentlemen
because then the listeners will not feel like I'm talking

(10:56):
just to them. And I'm like, well, if I'm just
talking to one person, and I'm not going to be
very successful, am I? And secondarily, my audience is made
up of ladies and gentlemen. They are good and decent
human beings, and I like to just address them with
a modicum of respect. He argued with me for like
thirty five minutes that I should change it, and I
finally looked at him and just said, I'm not doing that,

(11:18):
because you're wrong. And then he got all salty about it,
and we had this big kerfuffle and I had to
explain to his boss why I wasn't doing it. And
this boss was like, why aren't you doing this? I said,
because it's stupid, because this is my audience. And at
the time in Fort Myers, because I was trying to
grow my show with a zero dollar marketing budget, so
I was going to every meeting. If you invited me

(11:39):
to the opening of a door, I would show up.
I mean I spoke to organizations that had six people
at the meeting. I spoke to organizations that had two
hundred people at the meeting. I spoke to everyone. Because
I was trying to grow the show. I knew who
my audience was because I met them, you know, face
to face. Oh god, I just I hate working for
stupid people. Thankfully that is not the case here. Our
boss here is all awesome and every time he tells

(12:01):
me to do something or ask me, he always knows
and here's here's what the expected results should be from this.
And I'm okay, I get it. I get it. Mandy,
my drill sergeant asked me if I was born with
a coat hanger in my head because I was a
walking abortion.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, Chuck has some drill sergeant stories as well that are, uh,
that are pretty funny. I mean now, in hindsight they're
pretty funny. Probably at the time they were happening, they
were not as funny to him as they are now.
Mandy got news for you. The military is not filled
with the best and brightest. A lot of them joined
because they don't have other choices, or think they don't
have any other choices. And yes, I am including me

(12:44):
in that. I got a news flash for you. When
my son decided to go into the military, he was
an RTC in high school. There were multiple people who
had scholarships to college all of this stuff, but they
decided to enlist instead. So yeah, there's some people that
are like, I don't have anything else going for me,
I'm going to go ahead and join the military. But
I would argue that by recognizing you don't have a

(13:05):
path and choosing one that you knew was going to
give you discipline in some kind of structure, that in
and of itself indicates that you are not giving yourself
enough credit for that choice, right, Because nobody if you
joined the military, think there's going to be a walk
in the park. Oh it'll be easy, I'll just do this. No,
it's not. It's incredibly difficult. And to raise your hand
and make that choice, I think shows a level of

(13:28):
intelligence about your options that you view and choosing a
path that was going to set you into the right
mindset at least. Whenever somebody asked, Chuck, you know, what
would the army do for my kid? Chuck always shoots back, well,
what would your kid do to the army? Because your
kid right for the military, not just what would the
military do for me? And it's a big question, big

(13:50):
big question. Hence why the Marines respected leaders are senior
NCO's non commissioned officers. My son is a seventeen year
old Marine Master Sergeant soon Master gunnery sergeant. When he
was instructor at the schoolhouse, I went in with him
on the day off, even in board shorts and T shirts.
The students in the hall saw him and looked at

(14:12):
the floor, hoping he didn't question them. Proud dad, here
I got to tell a story on myself. So when Ryan,
my oldest son, he went to our ROTC in college,
he then went to his officer candidate stuff that he did,
and then he came out and he's in charge of
a platoon. And when he and his wife got married,
he was getting the h to deploy, so they had

(14:33):
a pre deployment wedding before he deployed, and then they
had a wedding when he got back from his deployment.
But for the pre deployment wedding, it was the first
time I'd seen him interact with his troops, right because
all his guys were there, and they show up for
his pre deployment wedding at a VFW post outside Manhattan, Kansas,
wearing cutoffs, combat boots and wife feed er T shirts.

(14:56):
That's all of his men showed up in that, which
made me laugh. But then throughout the night they kept
calling him sir. And every time they would call him sir,
I would start laughing because I knew he was an idiot,
right he's my son. You know, your kid is an idiot.
But for them, he was their leader, and Chuck us
grow mad at me, rightfully, so he's like, you have
to stop laughing. He's in charge of I know, I

(15:18):
just can't. I can't help it. You just know that
your kid is you know, and my kid Neither of
my sons are idiots, but you know what I mean,
They've just come out of their teen years. Right. I
will say this, when you send a child to basic training,
they will send you back an adult. That is one
hundred percent true. They will send you back a person
you almost don't recognize because all of a sudden, all

(15:41):
the dumb ass kids stuff, all the idiotic teen angst
crap that you've been dealing with. They send you back
an adult, a man or a woman. It's it's quite
an impressive transformation, very impressive transformation. Mandy. I think the
military makes you the best in the bride. They can
take a scrub and turn them into a sergeant. Exactly right,

(16:04):
exactly right, Mandy. Why isn't anyone take talking about Trump's
answer to the reporter who somehow mentioned if Iran assassinates Trump?
Is it just me? Or did he show some serious
strengths by saying plans are in place and if he
has taken out raised Earth will happen. We are going
to get into Trump's press conference yesterday, which was wild,

(16:25):
not in the sense that it was like crazy, but
I will tell you this, I watched that yesterday and
I was I was almost overwhelmed by watching a president
in full control of his own faculties, and it really
drove home how pathetic President Joe Biden was for four years.

(16:47):
You know what Trump didn't have. They didn't have a
card in his hand which told him who to call on.
Do you know what else Trump didn't do? He didn't
walk out after no questions. He stood there, took questions
and took some hard questions. We got a few guests
coming on the show today about well, one of them
is about that. Let me pull this up because I
didn't even have time to put him on the blog.

(17:09):
It just got confirmed a moment ago. Hang on, one second,
work with me. Anyway. We have, First of all, we've
got weather Wednesday coming up in just a few minutes,
so get your weather questions two text five sixty six
nine zero. Then a little bit later we're having the
Daily callers, Mary Rook on. She is got a great
column about why the left winging is so upset about

(17:32):
the possibility of USAID going away. And then I've got
senior national security contributor to News Nation, Lieutenant General Richard
Newton coming on specifically to talk about that press conference
because Trump laid down some stuff. Yesterday it was earth shattering,
I mean genuinely earth shattering. Now I've finally learned. Let's

(17:56):
see how it plays out, because he's gonna put the
most aggressive thing out there. But where does it end up?
I don't know. When we get back your weather questions
with chief meteorologists from Fox thirty one, text them to
five six six nine, oh, because Weather Wednesday coming up next.

(18:24):
It's time for Weather Wednesday with Iman Fox thirty one
chief meteorologist Dave Fraser. Dave, we don't worry about that.
We usually I forgot to tell Zach's filling in for
a Rod, and I forgot to tell him. We'll usually
just come back with that intro. But it's okay, we'll
get it next week next time.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yes, how is next week?

Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah? There you go. How are you, Dave Fraser?

Speaker 3 (18:45):
I'm doing well. How are you doing, Maddy?

Speaker 2 (18:47):
I'm doing nice. I gotta tell you I have enjoyed
the heck out of the last few days. How incredibly
pleasant this weather is for winter. I mean, lees, this
is very nice. When is it going to go away?

Speaker 6 (18:59):
Starting over the week and slowly over the weekend, We'll
see the temperatures coming down, and then it does look
to trend colder next week. So we've enjoyed yet nice,
nice little break from the winter. I'm seeing parts of
my lawn that I haven't seen for the entire month
of January, snow and the piles and finally melted away.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
So no, it's been fantastic.

Speaker 6 (19:18):
We started the month at fifty sixth last Saturday, then
we went to sixty seven last Sunday, sixty eight Monday
yesterday was a little chilly with that little clouds and fog.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
Were only in the thirties forties.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
However, if you're on the south and west side of
town down where I live on the south side of town.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
We're still in the fifties.

Speaker 6 (19:34):
So it just depends on your location.

Speaker 3 (19:36):
And we're back in the sixties today.

Speaker 6 (19:38):
So yeah, fifties and sixties through the end of the week,
and then next week get ready for some thirties but
no Arctic blast and periods of snow, but no organized
storm till maybe next Tuesday. We might get some light snow.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
I got a very specific texture question for you that
I think we might be a little too far out
to answer, but I'm going to ask it anyway, Mandy,
I live in the Springs and need to We traveled
a long lunch on Valentine's Day. Well, we have snow
on February fourteenth, and will it affect my travel plans?

Speaker 6 (20:07):
So it is outside of the seven day to give
me anything. Anytime I get viewer emails like that that
are outside of anything that I have confidence in, unless
I know there's a strong pattern of you know, quiet
days or something like that, I tend not to want
to give them too much hope or anything you know
that is a little bit outside right now of our
seven day forecast. I will say that as I look

(20:30):
at the trend for next week, while we'll dip into
the thirties and we'll maybe have some light snow in
the middle of the week, I do always look out
ten days, but again, the confidence drops off after you
get past seven.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
And I do see a dryer pattern as we.

Speaker 6 (20:43):
Get towards next Friday, which is Valentine's Day a week
from this coming Friday, and it does look dry and
it doesn't look like temperatures will come back up into
the forties. So at this point I would say, looking good,
but don't put your hat on it.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Just yet there you go. I want to ask, honestly,
I can't remember if it was yesterday the day before,
but we had a big brown cloud over the front range.
Was that just an ozone situation? What causes those brown
cloud days to where it just settles onto the front range?

Speaker 4 (21:13):
So I think that you're.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
Talking about yesterday. Yesterday wasn't. It was a little bit
of pollutants.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
But more it was kind.

Speaker 6 (21:19):
Of like a dirty haz.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Yeah, we had very We had very.

Speaker 6 (21:22):
Cold air Arctic are that slid into the Midwest that
clipped the northeast corner. Think of Sterling Julesburg up the
ice seventy sixth quarter and they were entrenched in this
low dense cloud deck on Monday when we were in
the sixties. And then yesterday the wind turned out of
the east northeast and pushed all of that back to Denver.
So Denver's official high at the airport yesterday was only

(21:45):
thirty six degrees. It was that low.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
Cloud deck that you're talking about.

Speaker 6 (21:48):
It was a foggy, kind of cold, misty haz that
may have had some pollutants trapped in it that made
it look like a brown cloud. It wasn't a perfect
brown cloud set up certainly was an ugly looking sky
for the better part of your Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (22:03):
And so you said that wasn't pollutants, So what exactly
makes that? Is it just dust and other crap or
what makes it look like that?

Speaker 6 (22:13):
No, it is probably the pollutants trapped in that cold,
dense air in the lower level.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
So it was a little bit of that, but a brown.

Speaker 6 (22:19):
Cloud generally what we have is we have a flipped
atmosphere where instead of the temperatures dropping as you rise,
you've got warmer air sitting over top of colder air.
And that can happen as a long flow out of
the west comes over the top of the mountains.

Speaker 3 (22:34):
And traps all the air below range.

Speaker 6 (22:38):
And that's when we think of a brown cloud, and
then everything it's like it's a lid. It's like somebody
slid a sliding glass door over the top of the
mountains and trapped all of the pollutants in the lower atmosphere,
and you get this ugly brown cloud and it's all
of the pollutants that are just trapping can't lift and
mix out of the atmosphere. So yesterday I was not bad.

(22:58):
This was more of a coldness Hayes. But when you're
dealing with that type of a static, kind of calm atmosphere,
pollutants can be mixed in with that, no question about it.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Okay, let me ask this question from a texture. It says,
I've got a serious weather question. If we can't tell
what the weather is going to be tomorrow with some
sort of accuracy, how can we tell what it's going
to be in ten or fifty years with the entire climate?
Explain that Dave, in the terms of climate is different
than weather, but weather makes up climate, correct, Yes, exactly.

Speaker 6 (23:28):
I mean a climate climate is a is what you
would expect in a certain part of the world based
on you know, thirty year trends or longer trends. So
you know, you can take take the oceans, for instance,
west coast or in the east sides of ocean, oceans
that flow to west coast borders, like our west coast
is cold, the other side of that is warm. So

(23:52):
you have bodies of water circulation that have influence and
the weather storm tracks move from west to east what
part of the globe you're in, So the climate is
what you would expect. So in Colorado you would expect
it to snow in the winter.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
In the summer, you.

Speaker 6 (24:06):
Would expect it to be hot in Florida. So those
are the expectations. The record, the forecast for weather, the
variability of weather is the forecasting within the next seven
to ten days. The climate is the global picture of
what might be happening, and they do run sophisticated climate
models to kind of take a look at white munty
happening in patterns for years to come. But I you

(24:29):
and I have taught there's just not a lot of
componensis from where I sit, because we talk about eight
to fourteen day outlooks and monthly outlooks and three month outlooks,
and barely ever did they tell you about that day
to day variability of weather.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
I'll just give it right. The month of February is
on track as a month outlook of the entire month
is on track to be warmer and drier than normal.

Speaker 6 (24:56):
And we've had four day three days in the sixties
and one day in the fifties.

Speaker 3 (25:01):
So five days in you would think that's on trap.

Speaker 6 (25:04):
However, the next eight to fourteen days shows it to
be colder and wetter than normal. So again, know the
day to day variability is what we're left with to
you know, that's my job. What is going to happen
for the next seven to ten days?

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Okay, So and you know I'm I think that. I mean,
I've talked about this a lot on my show. I
think the climate modeling is sort of like just it's
an educated crystal ball. There's a lot that goes into it.
But until we get one thousand years more data, solid data,

(25:39):
I think it's going to be really impossible for us
to really extrapolate out exactly what may happen in the
near future. I have one more. We'll go ahead.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
No, I mean just think that is true.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
When you have a model, it is designed and has
algorithms in it to calculate what you enter into it
and what that might look.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Like in the future.

Speaker 6 (26:00):
That model is based on a bunch of standards. However,
you're inputting the data, and if that data changes or
that data is wrong, the output of that model is
certainly not going to be correct either.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
And those are the challenges of model exactly.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
One last question before we run out of time, Dave,
and this what is a good one? I think, wait,
hang on it, We've got an update. Here. Does smoke
from the fires provide kernels to form rain, meaning to
the particulates that are going up in smoke gather that water.
But doesn't there have to be enough water in the
air to make that happen.

Speaker 6 (26:33):
The atmosphere has water in it's super cool water is
what we call it. But in order for the super
cool particles and the finite water particles to condense and
grow into rain drops or snowflakes, you need what's called
condensation nuclei. You need some type of a particulate, whether

(26:53):
it's a grain of salt from sea air, or whether
it's a smoke particle or any other dust particle, you
need something for it to attach to and grow. So
if you look up go to Google and look up
conversation nuclei and it will give you a great explanation
of how those particles flow around with storm system and
help to create rain drops and kind of give us

(27:13):
a better chance of moisture across the area.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Excellent, All right, Dave Fraser, we'll talk to you next week. Well,
we'll have a much more accurate forecast for our listener
who's driving to a wedding, you know, because that's what
we're here for to provide a service, or you could
just watch the Great Weather Team on Fox thirty one
our partner a KATVR because they have a very very
accurate team at there and so you can find out there. Dave,
we'll talk to you next week.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
Yep, yep, We're on all weekend, and don't forget we've
got the Super Bowl, so join up the Louper Bowl will.
I will be working Sunday night and I will have
an updated all the way through next weekend forecasts, including valentine'stow.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
I was going to ask you who got the Super
Bowl gig because people may not know that that's like
prime territory for meteorologists to be able to do that
little snippet in there during the Super Bowl. I'll be
watching for you, Dave.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
I have a great weekend, all right, you two.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
Thank you, Dave Frasier. We'll be right back Colin. About
why the left is freaking out about the Department, the
USAID going away and some of the stories that are

(28:23):
coming out, and I actually just got a text from
Chuck saying are all of these true? But some of
the programs that have been funded by USAID over the
years are so I mean you guys, they're appalling. So
we're gonna talk to her at one o'clock and then
at one thirty. I don't normally book two guests in
one hour, but I could only get my guests who
one thirty at one thirty. He is one of the

(28:46):
national security correspondents or at what's the word. I'm looking
for national security advisors for News Nation, And we're going
to get into Trump's press conference yesterday, which I am
telling you right now was wild and if you didn't
see it, and it'll mean wild, like chairs were thrown. Okay,
it was wild because he said some stuff yesterday that

(29:08):
I'm guessing was heard around the world in speakers, in
Serio speakers, because he said, and I'm barely paraphrasing when
I say this, he said, if Hamas does not release
all of the hostages, there will be violence. The last
part there will be violence is exactly what he said.
But first, before we do that, I want to talk

(29:30):
a little bit. You know, the Gold Dome is in
full gear right now as the legislators are trying to
find more ways to make Colorado a miserable place to
do business, and there's no bill more onerous for business
than the bill that would repeal the Colorado Labor Peace Act,
where we have been happily operating under this operation for

(29:53):
like eighty years. They are trying to do a giveaway
to the unions. And all of this is happening right
now because there was a union boss that spoke at
the RNC and the Democrats are deathly afraid of losing
access to the slush fund that they call unions, because

(30:13):
unions barely if they make any donations to Republicans, it
is like maybe two, okay, so they make no donations
to Republicans, they make all donations to Democrats. But union
membership is at an all time low. Private sector union
membership is at an all time low right now. So

(30:34):
in order to fix that, fix the problem knowing, but
the unions found a problem. By the way, It's not
like people in workplaces were clamoring for the change, but.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Here we are.

Speaker 2 (30:43):
The bill would repeal the labor bill that we've had forever.
Senate Bill five would repeal the Colorado Labor Peace Acts
requirement for a second election for employers to establish a
quote union security agreement at their work So right now,
if you want to unionize a workplace in Colorado, you

(31:04):
have to have two elections. You have to have one
where at least fifty one or over fifty percent of
your membership says we want to belong to a union.
That kicks the whole thing off. The second election is
the election where people vote on whether or not they
want to join the union and pay union dues. If
seventy five percent of the workforce agrees, then everybody has

(31:26):
to pay union dues, whether they want to or not. Now,
that to me, in and of itself, is such a
violation of my right of free association. To force me
to pay dues to an organization that I fundamentally disagree
with on every issue, That to me is foul. And
I think most Americans find it in affront that they

(31:49):
would be forced to pay and give money to an
organization that they don't support or want to belong to.
How does that not violate my rights of pre association?
But whatever, that's not being challenged here. They're trying to
do all move that second election. So now what they
want is a simple majority that would both unionize and
take union news away from everybody, regardless of whether or

(32:09):
not they wanted to be there. Now, if this bill
also had some kind of caveat that said, in my voting,
if I vote no on whether or not say some
of this, or do you want to unionize and I
say no, I should also be able to check a
box that says, and I'm not giving you my money,
I'm opting out of union dues right now, and then

(32:30):
the union can decide if only fifty one percent of
the people say yes, I want a union, now I'm
going to pay dues, and forty nine percent say no,
I don't want a union and no, I'm not paying dues,
then the union can decide whether it's worth it to
be there. But right now this is just a giveaway
to the unions by the Democrats. It's transparently that. And
we are already dealing in Colorado with a destruction of

(32:55):
our business environment that has seen us drop in nationwide
rankings for business friendliness. And if you want to make
it even worse, if you want to make it so
businesses that might think about relocating here or opening up here,
or opening a factory here to create jobs, why would
you move here when you know that the unions are
absolutely got the deck stacked against you from the very beginning.

(33:20):
So this is another crap bill by Democrats that are
going to make everything more expensive because that's all they do.
That's the whole thing right there, All right, Mandy forced
to pay family that's the Family Leave Act. Why well,
a majority of your fellow citizens voted that into being,
even though it was a dumb idea. And if they

(33:42):
just read the Mandy Connal voter guide they would have
seen I told him to vote against it. But here
we are. When we get back, Mary Rook of The
Daily Caller joins me. She's got a great column about
why the left is freaking out about this USAID situation.
The headline of her column at the Daily came, trump
struck a killing blow to the heart of the Democrat

(34:03):
deep state machine. We'll talk about that next. And joining
us now the Daily Callers Mary Rook, who has written
a really great column in the Daily Caller. It was

(34:24):
out yesterday headline trump struck a killing blow to the
heart of the Democrat deep state machine. Mary, welcome back
to the show.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
First of all, Hi, Maybie, thank you so much for
having me.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
So let's just what don't we give my listeners who
have not read the column a little thumbnail sketch of
what's inside.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Oh, what we're discussing yesterday is the fact that Trump
is going after usaid. And you know, we've kind of
seen this being splashed.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
All over the news.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
If you watch any type of mainstream media, from CNN
to ABC, they're all up in arms freaking out about
you know, all of the poor countries that are no
longer going to be able to receive aid from the US.
And you know, what are we going to do for
our allies? How are we going to funnel all this
millions of dollars to them? But what they're not telling
their viewers is that hidden beneath these payments that we make,

(35:14):
you know, to pay for rice and beans to these
third world countries, what we're also paying for is millions
of dollars in the I type of funding initiatives, including
to produce THEEI musicals in Ireland, transgender operas in Colombia,
and a transgender comic book in Peru. I mean, the

(35:35):
American people are struggling financially. We have been for about
five years now, ever since the pandemic and Divide. Administration
spent years sending millions of our taxpayer dollars with about
billions over to do these anti American, anti culture funding initiatives,
and Trump has essentially said stop. So he's put Elon

(35:56):
Musk in charge of DOGE, and DOGE has gone into
the USAID a shutout access to all the administrators. They
kind of put everybody on notice that hey, listen, we're
going to go in We're going to look at all
the line items, figure out where the spending is going.
We're going to send it over to the president, and
the President's going to decide if we are going to
continue these different type of operations, which I think is

(36:17):
a really great idea. But what is really funny to
me at least, and this whole situation, is watching how
badly the Democrats are freaking out about this. I mean,
you've got Chuck Schumer standing on the stage just screaming
and hollering about how this is you know, ant a
Democratic and no one voted for Elon Musk, and you know,
just really waving his arms in the air like no,

(36:38):
that earth is falling type of situation. But what they're
really upset about is the fact that we're stopping these states.
I mean, one of the news stories that came out
today was that Politico received eight million dollars from USAID,
And if you remember, Politico was one of the outlets
that went and pushed the false narrative that the Hunter
Biden laptop story was is a Russian you know, hoax,

(37:02):
essentially that Russia paid for it. So when you're looking
at the line items on these things, it's ridiculous what
they've required the American people to pay for. And I
think that that's a great thing that the Trump administration
is doing, and it's also preventing them from continuing to
undermine American national security, our sovereignty. They pay millions of

(37:23):
dollars to teach a little illegal immigrants how to cross
the border and how to stay in our country, how
to avoid ice. I mean, we're talking about really harmful things,
and not to mention the fact millions and millions of
dollars to organizations that are connected to terrorist organizations, and
the Bided administration alone is responsible for sending more than
one point during billion dollars to groups that sponsored or

(37:45):
committed terrorism.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
For me, Mary watching this, the thing that I find
the most interesting is that Washington, DC is in full
meltdown mode. Yeah, but the American people are like, you
got to be kidding me with some of these expenditures
that we've heard about, and what I think that, you know,
there probably are some really good, worthwhile programs in USAID

(38:07):
because when this program was started, it was started with
the idea that if we use our dollars to encourage
development and growth in these developing nations, then we would
have fewer problems worldwide, right because if a country is
prosperous and everyone's doing well, they're far less likely to
agitate and cause problems or pick a war with somebody
next to them. But the problem is is that Congress

(38:28):
didn't put any guardrails on what this stuff could be
spent on, you know, and now we see what you're
talking about, and what others have been talking about the
crazy nature of some of the stuff that they have
spent money. I got to tell you, I'm pretty sure
that Politico also was very instrumental in pushing the Christopher
steal dossier as well. So the fact that they got
money from USAID is appalling, absolutely appalling to me.

Speaker 1 (38:53):
And it would be really interesting to see what other
outlets are uncovered as receiving aid our money from USAID
and the other thing is that most Americans. The reason
why they're kind of sitting back and going, so what
in this situation is a lot of people have never
even heard of USAID, and if they had, they connected
with what you're talking about, the humanitarian side of it,

(39:13):
where we're sending over funding and helping these developing nations
in order for US not to have disend troops over
there in case something kicks off. But an underlying thing
that is little discussed is the fact that some of
this USAID money is being connected to regime changes in
some of these countries. And so if we're talking about
nation building, if we're talking about sovereignty and all of

(39:35):
those things, that the American people should not be paying
for regime changes at all, end of story. And so
that's not in the America's best interests. It's not in
the best interests of our national security. It increases the
chance that we are going to have illegal migration happening
at our southern border, because you're going to have displaced
residents from their hopes, their own country right trying to

(39:56):
come into a country that's more stable. I mean, we're
talking about just in all staffts of American life being
affected by this AID, and you know, we're really putting
a stop to it. And I think that that is
such a great thing that Trump is doing right now.
It's probably one of the most important things that he's.

Speaker 6 (40:13):
Done so far.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
And if you think about it, he's only been in
office since January twentieth, then he's already shaking up this,
you know, establishment regime that has had control over our
government for decades. The USAID is technically supposed to report
the president. It's under the governance of the Executive Cranision.
Its reports the President of the National Security Council. They
have been obstinate whenever our presidents have gone in and

(40:35):
tried to audit them or get any type of data
information from them, and also obstinate to the Congress, who
is control of the national purse, and so whenever you
have congressional officials going in trying to get answers from this,
like our senator, our Iowa Senator Jodie Earns, who tried

(40:56):
to get information on what kind of money USA ide
with sin Day into Ukraine. She essentially was told no,
you can't receive anything impact, you know, and then she
did a little book pushback and they let her and
her team in, but she wasn't allowed to write anything down,
she wasn't allowed to take notes, she wasn't allowed to

(41:16):
take any documents out of the building. She had to
remember everything verbatim. And the things that I found were
really shocking in this whole thing. So you have to
ask yourself at the end of the day, what is
this government agency? Who is it accountable to. It's accountable
to the President of the president. It's full authority to
go in and auditus place if it's not allowing that
process to take place, and they're actually the anti democratic

(41:38):
process and the government and the president has authority to
go in and do exactly.

Speaker 6 (41:43):
What he did.

Speaker 2 (41:44):
Mary. I have always shied away from using the term
deep state because I think it's unnecessary, inflammatory, and you know,
it creates a certain a feeling of division for some people.
But my gosh, if that's not the deep state. While
you were just talking about your course that refuses oversight
from a sitting US senator, this is the deep state.

(42:05):
This is what we're talking about. This is what Trump
is trying to root out. And I'm you know, whatever
good this organization has done, I'm sure the State Department
can continue in some manner. But I'm ready to see
this go. And I've been absolutely shocked by the speed
with which Donald Trump has has has taken action in

(42:26):
this this elections or this administration. I think you and
I are in agreement. I keep calling this. You know,
Trump two point zero is a much different Trump than
Trump one point oh right. He learned a lot about
the intractability of Washington, d C. In his first administration.
And I don't know if all this stuff is going
to stand constitutionally, everything that he's done, and I'm certainly

(42:47):
hoping that Congress is going to step up and start
codifying some of this stuff into law. But that being said,
this is a whole new ballgame, and I got to say,
it's been fascinating to watch, don't you think absolutely?

Speaker 1 (43:00):
You know Trumps who point knows exactly how I touncor
is it. And the thing is is that they were
wholly unprepared to handle this new Trump administration, which is
great for the American people. You know, the first administration,
they swarmed him like bees on honey, and they were
going to protest to hide that they had created there,
and they did a very good job of pushing him out.

(43:22):
We saw that in the State Department, we saw that
in the Pentagon, we saw that in all these different areas.
And Trump learned from his lesson. He came in guns
a blazing into this administration. He has spent the last
three weeks working like a dog to make sure that
he roots out all.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
Of the problems.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
They think the biggest thing that we're seeing. I saw
the government buyouts and all these people's self ejecting from
the government. And you know, we just turned last night
that they're doing the same exact thing with the CIA,
and you're offering them a buyout to be able to leave.
And I think this is really great for American people because,
you know, conservative media has done a really good job,
at least over the last four years trying to root

(44:02):
out the problem and explain to the American people what
has been going on behind the scenes, especially when we
refer to things like the deep state. But what they
don't understand is that the deep state is not necessarily
just the intelligent agencies that are working against the American people,
are working to spy on them and take their data
and use it against them. Like we saw with January sixth,

(44:23):
What the deep state really is is unelected bureaucrats like
the ones that work at USAID, and you know they're
using your money in order to promote programs that are
completely antithetical to the way the American people feel about this,
especially when it comes to things like gender ideology and
the DEI initiative, the.

Speaker 2 (44:42):
Things that I've seen, the list that I've seen, and
I haven't confirmed all the lists that are flying around
the internet right now, and there's significant lists flying around
the internet right now, but there does seem to be
an outsized number of gender ideology or gay issues that
USAID has been funding. Is that just because that's where
the Democrats drove the agency that was the priority of

(45:05):
the Biden administration or why does it seem that so
much of it has to do with gay rights? Because
I got to tell you, if you told me that
the USAAID was funding you know, schools, or it was
funding hospitals or water systems in places that don't have
clean water, I think we would all agree, Okay, that's
probably a good expenditure of money, even though we don't
need to be spending more money from the US right now.

(45:26):
But when you're talking about things that seem to promote
gender ideology or confusion, or even a fair treatment of
gay people, which I'm not opposed to, But is that
the role of the federal government. Where we've got a
one point eight trillion dollar deficit last year, and.

Speaker 1 (45:42):
That is exactly the point. It is not the role
of federal government to change the minds of foreign countries
on the way that they approach these same topics, especially
whenever you consider the fact that they're extremely unpopular with
the you know, with more than half of the American people, right,
and so whenever you're looking at these programs in places
like Pakistan, in Afghanistan and all of these things, and

(46:06):
you're you're like, okay, but they need running water, they
need a functional deocy or a function governing system. And
you know when you talk about, well, why aren't we
building water pipes supply so these people could do it?
You know, we spend millions of dollars over there to
try and build bridges, to try and build infrastructure there.
But the same thing that's like what we see in California.

(46:27):
The money is mismanaged that things never get built, and
if they get built, they break almost immediately. And so
all of the money that we spent hundreds of millions
of dollars on these different types of projects. They it's
just wasted. It's all wasted fund money. And most of
the money that is spent by USAID, they say that
about ten to thirteen percent actually gets spent on those

(46:48):
types of projects, and the rest of it goes to
administrative costs. And we all know what that means. It
means being funneled into the money or into the pockets
of people who are controlling these projects. And that's why
you see oligarchs and running away with suitcases full of
millions of dollars. That's why you see the president of
Ukraine running away with millions of dollars. It's a completely

(47:08):
corrupt system and we have to put in intul it.
And that's what President Trump did.

Speaker 2 (47:11):
I saw a video on x yesterday. I have a
young woman and she is African. I don't know she
still lives in Africa, but she made the comment that
I thought was really interesting. She said, you know, it's
interesting for everyone in Africa who who wants to talk
about being free of their colonial past. They're now all
freaking out because the money train is going to be
cut off. But then she went on to explain just

(47:32):
what you just said. A vast majority of the foreign
aid that comes to African nations is hoovered up by
corrupt officials and it never actually gets to the people
that is supposed to serve. The entire system is broken.
So maybe if we break it and cut off the money,
there will be some way for these people to get
some of the corruption out of their system of government.

(47:52):
Maybe their countries can flourish. Mary Brooks from the Daily Caller,
I really appreciate your time today, great column, well done,
and hopefully we'll talk again in the future.

Speaker 1 (48:01):
All right, sons, great, thank you, all right, thank you, Mary,
And I.

Speaker 2 (48:04):
Put a link on the blog to that column. This
she wrote, it's very, very good. The other part about
USAID that I think is important because somebody texted this.
Actually there's a similar text now, Mandy. In the seventies,
the CIA youthed USAID is a front to enter various
countries and change the leadership through violent acts. A lot

(48:25):
of people believe that the USAID budget is all just
CIA black ops. And if that's what it is, fine,
put it under the CIA's budget. Don't tell us it's
roses and then hand us crap, right you know what
I'm saying, Like I understand that we have all kinds
of tentacles all around the world. I get it. I'm
just at the point now where I'm not sure that

(48:47):
that serves American interests. Don't get me wrong. If we
have CIA agents, you know, gathering intelligence on people who
are trying to do us harm, I am all for that.
But if we're trying to change the regime of Peru,
or we're trying to change the regime even of Venezuela,
which is an abject disaster, that's not our job. What

(49:07):
our job is is to protect the American borders from
the Venezuelan gang members that are being rounded up right
now in Aurora, Colorado. That's our job. The Venezuelans have
to sort themselves out. The Venezuelans are gonna have to
rise up and overthrow their government. That's their responsibility. But
we cannot continue to fund every scrappy nation that decides
they need our money, because right now we're funding both

(49:29):
sides of the war. In Mary's column, this is so
appalling to me. Let me find this right now. Let
me scroll down. One hundred and twenty two million dollars
of taxpayer dollars. That's those are. And I just want
to put this in context. When we say taxpayer dollars,
what does that mean. I want you to think about

(49:51):
taxpayer dollars like this. If you make an hourly wage,
you gave up even if you work a salary, we
gave up hours of your life that you're never going
to get back, away from your family, your friends, doing
things that you love to go to work. You may
even love your job, that's great, but you gave up
those hours of your life where you had to go
and you had to make money. And the federal government

(50:12):
just took part of it for the privilege of being
an American, and they sent one hundred and twenty two
million dollars, which represent those hours of your life that
you're never going to get back through USAID that were
funneled into groups aligned with Islamic terror organizations in Gaza, Syria,
and Afghanistan. So we are funding both sides of these wars.

(50:34):
And I'm just over it. I'm over it. It doesn't
make sense. You know what I'd rather see. I'd rather
see us take all of that money reinvest it in
defending ourselves. Let's create a great missile defense system. Let's
tighten and harden our ports so the reality of getting
a dirty bomb into the United States of America gets

(50:55):
a lot harder, instead of spending one hundred and twenty
two million dollars to send it to people who would
blow us up at the first instance, why don't we
make America truly safer. No, we're never going to be
one hundred percent safe. There's no such thing as one
hundred percent safety unless we're all just confined in our
homes like in China.

Speaker 1 (51:13):
Right.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
You know, in a free society, you're going to have
things that go wrong. But I would much rather spend
this money in making the United States more vibrant, easier
for people who want to come here and do good
and be productive to immigrate to. I'm a big immigration fan,
and our current immigration system is so incredibly, incredibly broken

(51:38):
that it's not even funny. At the same time, we're
giving legal immigrants, you know, apartments and computers and cell phones.
Here in Denver. There are people who are already well
educated who want to come to the United States of
America and be productive members of our society right away.
They can't get in here because the immigration system is
so jacked up, So we shall see, Mandy, if you

(52:00):
can think of a better way to sell bombs and ammunition,
I'd like to hear it. Seriously. The military industrial complex
are sincerely rather now. I got it. I'm not a
fan of the military industrial complex. I'm really not. And
all of that foreign aid that we send to other
countries gets recycled back into our defense contractors, who then
promise weapons systems that never get delivered or never walk properly.

(52:24):
The whole system is dysfunctional and broken, but it goes
well beyond the military industrial complex. As a matter of fact,
I would urge you, Texter Cobe can read Dwight D.
Eisenhower speech where that phrase military industrial complex came from,
and then read about the scientific industrial complex. That actually
concerns me more than the military industrial complex, because that's

(52:45):
why we have the nonsense around glob global warming and
climate change. That's why we have the COVID response that
we have now because of the scientific military or scientific
industrial complex, which has been wholly captured by my government.
And therefore we're going to get the answers the government
wants us to give. Oh it's fascinating, Mandy. I sent

(53:08):
this text to her my friend this morning, Great minds
think alike. I have never understood how it makes any
sense when the US is essentially funding both sides of
a war. As Songe talked about that too, It boils
down to being beneficial to some people and organizations from
a monetary and power position, but it is insane when
you think of it from a logical perspective. That from Alexa, Yes, Alexa,

(53:30):
great minds do think alike. When we get back, we
have national security advisor for News Nation to talk about
yesterday's wild ass press conference with Donald Trump and Benjamin
Yaho that's coming up next.

Speaker 1 (53:54):
Well.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
He is the senior national security contributor for News Nation,
Lieutenant General Richard Newton, joining me now from his home
in beautiful Florida, where he says it's too windy to
go out on the boat today, which is good news
because I get to talk to him now about yesterday's
press conference with Benjaminette Naho and Donald Trump, and I
already said this. General. I said, first of all, it

(54:18):
was so refreshing to have a leader of the United
States that could answer questions off the cuff and take
questions from reporters and not have to have a notepad
telling him what to who to call on. But yesterday
he dropped some policy issues that were pretty significant. Let's
start with his comments on the Gaza Strip. And in

(54:39):
his comments and am paraphrasing here, he essentially said, look,
you know what we got to do. We got to
move the Palestinian people out of the Gaza Strip. They're
never going to have peace, They're never gonna have prosperity.
Let's move them somewhere else and set up a Palestinian
community where they can have a happy life. What are
the drawbacks or the immediate things that went up in
your mind about the possibility of that.

Speaker 7 (55:00):
Well many great to be with you, and thank you
for having me on air. First Off, a stunning announcement.

Speaker 4 (55:05):
UH.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
This is UH.

Speaker 7 (55:08):
I'm sure it has sent for certainly my sources, it's
sent major shockwaves really around down in the region.

Speaker 4 (55:14):
But around the world and so forth. But to for
the President to come forward and to sign up for
the United.

Speaker 7 (55:20):
States to take really long term control of Gaza is
UH is extraordinary, and it's historical, frankly, but there are
going to be some extraordinary challenges and with this what
I would.

Speaker 4 (55:32):
Call a huge idea. This isn't a big idea, manby
this is a huge idea.

Speaker 7 (55:36):
And first and foremost you're gonna, you know, will meet
resistance in certain capitals around the Mid East.

Speaker 4 (55:42):
Certainly Saudi Arabia.

Speaker 7 (55:44):
Which is the largest economy in the region, has already
come up and somewhat denounced this. Turkey are our fellow
North Linding Treaty Organization or NATO member which which really
exudes a very strong UH political power in the region.
Also UH has met this with much skepticism. But nonetheless
it's a very tall order and there are going to

(56:06):
be some certain hurdles if you even consider the policy
implications to get moving forward on this. But the bottom
line is I don't think in my view, I don't
believe there's any other nation that can that really has the.

Speaker 4 (56:19):
Unique capabilities that the United States.

Speaker 7 (56:21):
Has in order to really move this forward. And we
what do we like it or not, We have become
what I call the indispensable nation. And so if this
is going to be gossive, it's going to be resolved,
it's going to take strong efforts by the United States,
surely in concert with our close ally.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
Prime mister Nan Jeahun Israel to move forward on this,
but lost on pack here.

Speaker 2 (56:46):
So let me ask this question, and this is I
think a significant part of the conversation that's kind of
being glossed over. None of the other Muslim nations in
that region want the Palestinian people, to be clear, and
Egypt has blocked them off because the leader of Egypt
has Muslim brotherhood problems. He doesn't want the Palestinian people
to come in and foment any sort of Islamic issues

(57:07):
for Egypt. Jordan has pretty much said we don't want
them either, even though historically much of their land, the
Palestinian land, is now part of Jordan. So where would
they even go if the Muslim nations around Israel say
we don't want them either.

Speaker 4 (57:21):
Maybe they have no place to go, nor have they
had any place to go for decades.

Speaker 7 (57:24):
And so that's why we end up with the challenge
we have right now on we're certainly within Gaza and
the West Bank and so forth, And interestingly enough, King
o'de Jordan will be visiting the United States and visiting
with the President here soon, and I believe Egypt is
lined up as well. But again, this is a very
pole order. But there is no place for the Palestinian people, unfortunately,

(57:47):
to go. And we're talking about.

Speaker 4 (57:48):
One point eight million.

Speaker 7 (57:51):
What I call non militant Palestinians or gas and within
the Gaza strip. Think of Israel about the size of
New Jersey, but think of Gaza more about the size
the Philadelphia area in and around the New Jersey Pennsylvania
borders there. So we're talking about a very diasly packed
population forced into this part of the world, very urban,

(58:12):
but now it's been decimated by obviously conflict over the
last fifteen months or so. And by the way, that
all starts with and to me, responsibility for that is
hamas a'most being the terrorist organization as we know about
the brutal attack on the seventh of October and so forth.

Speaker 4 (58:27):
But there is no place for Palestinians to go to.

Speaker 7 (58:30):
And by way, President Trump, so much as credit a
couple we should have started to hint in terms of
where he was leaving with regard to trying to compel
other Arab nations to take the Palestinians, but to no
avail so far. But I believe what the President has
done here has created some leverage himself to now draw
on certainly US efforts to break what would turn out

(58:53):
to be a scene of a rid lock in and
around Gaza. If we're going to be able to repair
and rebuild Gaza, it's got to start with I believe,
certainly a vision from Prime Mister Natyahu in Israel, but
a strong, strong support and even more so with.

Speaker 4 (59:06):
The President's calling for taking control himself of the Gaza.

Speaker 2 (59:10):
Strip, I'm inclined. Knowing what we know about Donald Trump
and his negotiating style, I think that we're taking over
Gaza statement is a starting position, and that we will
then figure out what's going to happen. Now that you
know that the Middle Eastern nations don't want that to happen.
I mean, we saw it happen this past weekend with tariffs.
We know what's he is a here's what I'm going

(59:30):
to do, worst case scenario, and then we're going to
talk about what that's actually going to look like. So
I'm we'll see how that works out. But I want
to get to Iran before we went out of time,
because what's said yesterday about Iran I think is incredibly significant.
The President said unequivocally that Iran may not cannot, will
not have a nuclear weapon. What does that mean for
our stance and what does that change in our positioning

(59:54):
towards Iran versus during the Biden administration.

Speaker 7 (59:58):
Well, I think all this discussion with Gaza actually will
eventually lead back to the principal US national security interest
is Iran may needs you allude to in your question,
And the fact is we period dot cannot allow Iran
to achieve a nuclear weapon in the Mid East because
that will up up in the entire Mid East, and
that is absolutely bad, not only for Israel, not only

(01:00:19):
bad for our friends and allies, but it certainly bad
for US national security interest.

Speaker 4 (01:00:23):
Right now, Iran is on its heels.

Speaker 7 (01:00:25):
Much to the credit of Prime Mister in Yahoo, and
the only defense forces you know decimating has blocks to
the north of.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Lemanas certainly Hamas, although not.

Speaker 7 (01:00:33):
Destroyed in Gaza, but nonetheless they are somewhat decimated both
politically and militarily and suspectively, when Iran tried to strike
Israel with two missile barrages, if you would call back
in April October, then Israel countered with significant air strikes.
Has someone to missed decimated their air defense capabilities, and
so right now Iran is at its lowest point I

(01:00:55):
believe it, certainly in my recent memory. And so right
now this may be the time where the President has
he came forward this morning he says we're going to
assert maximum economic pressure against Iran. But also with that,
I believe that the United States needs to as well
as Israel, to put on the table maximum exertion of
military capabilities against Ireon. And what that means is if

(01:01:17):
Iran does not compliant, they don't come to some concessions here.

Speaker 4 (01:01:20):
With regard to their nuclear weapons.

Speaker 7 (01:01:22):
With regard to their vowed hatred and policy of destroying
Israel and certainly still maintaining the largest export of terrorism
in the world, if they don't come to those concessions
and resolve those and the United States and Israel believe
we'll do something about first and foremost, the most important
aspect of this is destroying their nuclear weapons capability.

Speaker 2 (01:01:42):
So where are the Iranian people in this. We've had
some protests over the last few years that have sort
of fizzled out or been tamped down by the government.
Is there any chance that the Iranian people are going
to demand regime change or are we just going to
have to deal with the people that are in there now.

Speaker 8 (01:01:58):
I think since November of nineteen seventy nine, when the
Iranian Revolution occurred, you know, the Iranian people have been
under you know, tremendous pressure to some degree of what
I call brutal charity underneath the regime of out Comedian
and so forth.

Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
And others of the revolutionary Guard.

Speaker 7 (01:02:15):
That hasn't changed, but nonetheless you're now moving forward with
in twenty twenty five. I believe there is as I
understand that my sources tell me, there is again an
the Iranian population. It's not the people of Iran that
we have any issues at all, but it's it's the regime,
their brutal regime.

Speaker 4 (01:02:33):
I believe it.

Speaker 7 (01:02:33):
At some point they will have to certainly try to resist,
but they can't resist if they're still under this, this
brutal terrorist regime. That's where the United States and necessarily
where Israel can come in. If we go against you know,
the Iranian regime, specifically against a lot of you know,
their nuclear weapons capabilities, perhaps some of their oil production

(01:02:56):
and so forth.

Speaker 4 (01:02:56):
That's really not against the Iranian people.

Speaker 7 (01:02:58):
That's against the regime to prevent them from not only
terrorizing the people, but exporting terrorism as they've done for
the decades. I think it's about time that the United
States stand tall here. You know, they're you know, sanctions
and so forth. But if the sanctions aren't enforced like
they were not enforced under the Biden administration, that's where
you're going to still have the Iranian people decimated.

Speaker 4 (01:03:17):
But it's the threat of Iran.

Speaker 7 (01:03:20):
Against terrorizing its neighbors and really putting at risk US
national security interests in the region. That's what's key here.
Gods is important understand rebuilt, that's a huge idea. It's
it's a huge undertaking. But to me, all things lead
back to Tehran.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
Well, I really appreciate your time, senior national security contributor
for News Nation, General Richard Newton. You did a fine job.
We'll talk to you again soon in the future, my friend.

Speaker 4 (01:03:48):
Thank you many great to be with you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
All right, thanks, General. You know, somebody hit the text
line and said, why don't the other nations want the Palestinians.
Main reason, Well, if you look at the egyptianlyleadership or
the Jordan leadership, they will tell you that they don't
want to take in Palestinians because they think that will
hurt the Palestinian cause of getting their own state, and

(01:04:10):
they don't want to give up their own territory to
have a Palestinian state. But there's more to it than that.
I mentioned that in Egypt, especially the president of Egypt.
You have to remember LCCI. He came to power after
the Muslim Brotherhood took over Egypt, and then there was
a big kerfuffle and there was an uprising of sorts

(01:04:30):
and the Muslim Brotherhood was kicked out. But the Muslim
Brotherhood and Islamists are still a faction in Egypt, and
it's a Palestinian people migrated to Egypt. With any real numbers,
they could create a huge problem and roll back the
secular government that Egypt currently has. Egypt is a Muslim nation,
but the Egyptian government is a secular government. Iran is

(01:04:53):
a Muslim nation with an Islamic government, right, So there's
a big difference there. So there's a lot of reasons,
but a big part of it is the Palestinians have
created havoc wherever they have gone, and that's why no
one wants them. I had been racking my brain since

(01:05:18):
yesterday trying to remember, and I guess I could have
just used the Google, but it became a thing.

Speaker 6 (01:05:23):
Do you ever have this?

Speaker 2 (01:05:23):
I mean, Zach, you're young, You're just used to going
to the Google. But do you ever like challenge yourself
when you know you know something and you're like, I
am gonna figure this out. I am not gonna not
remember this. Yeah, like with with the actors and movies
or whatever. It's like, I know, I know that. Okay,
So I knew there was an incident with Jordan and
the Palestinians, but I couldn't remember the name of it.
It was Black September, and a texture just pointed that out.

(01:05:46):
Black September is the reason why Jordan does not want
the Palestinians either. And back after the nineteen sixty seven war,
the Palestinian Liberation Authority led by Yaser era Fat, the
man who stood in the way of a two state
solution or a couple decades, they moved over to Jordan
and then decided they were going to try and overthrow

(01:06:07):
the monarchy. So Jordan has no love for the Palestinian
people either. Egypt has no love for the Palestinian people,
but it's Israel that has to deal with them. And
someone else pointed out and said, look, Trump did not
say that he was going to move the Palestinian people,
you guys. I watched the press conference and when asked

(01:06:27):
who was going to live in the newly rebuilt Gaza Strip,
he said people from all over the world. He didn't
say the Palestinian people. I'm telling you, he was saying,
move him out of the Gaza Strip. By the way,
the Gaza Strip prime real estate in Israel. It's got
a ton of beetront on it, right on the Mediterranean Sea.

(01:06:48):
It could be stunning. He's right, it could be the
riviera of the Middle East. And the Palestinians just ran
it into the ground, building terror tunnels, stopped piling rockets,
building weapons to try and destroy Israel, instead of creating
a vibrant economy for the Palestinian people so they don't
have to live in a community where they get their

(01:07:10):
power in their water from Israel. We've given them billions
in aid and have they built one single desalinization plant. No,
have they built one single power plant.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
No.

Speaker 2 (01:07:23):
All they've built is terror tunnels. They don't deserve to
have that property back. I really I feel that way,
they had their chance. They blew it. Time to go ooh,
Mandy just left Sam's Club two dozen large brown eggs
for eight forty nine cage free. Well, you just the
cage free is redundant. You don't have to say that.
You know, where I found the cheapest eggs was totally

(01:07:44):
a non sequitor to what I was just talking about.
Whole Foods. They have the cheapest eggs. When has that
ever been said the Whole Foods is the cheapest anything? Anyway,
thank you text for reminding me of Black September, because
obviously my brain was not going to retreat that anytime soon.
I have this vision in my mind, like I envision
my brain as a giant library, right, like an old

(01:08:07):
school library with ladders on wheels. Only my librarian is
she's elderly, she has sensible shoes, she likes tea, and
sometimes she goes on break for days at a time.
But that's a little window into how I see my
brain and that librarian. I was like, what was that
thing in Jordan? She was like, sorry, I'm on break. Anyway,

(01:08:27):
when we get back, I've got so much other stuff
that we're gonna talk about today. It's gonna be like
a speed hour of what's coming up We've got kay,
Oh jeez, I don't even know where I'm gonna start.
You're just gonna have to stick around and see terrible teas.
But I mean, you just gotta stick around. President Trump

(01:08:53):
is signing an order protecting women's sports. This is something
that must happen. And to think that women should be
able to compete in their own categories against other women
biologically is not anti trans in my opinion. Forcing the
issue of allowing men who have decided that they are

(01:09:15):
women to compete against women, that is anti women, not
anti trans. The notion that somehow women who have trained
and worked their entire lives who now have to compete
against someone with a biological advantage because they went through
puberty as a man, that is like the last shakes
of the patriarchy right there. The feelings of a handful

(01:09:36):
of people should not matter more than the feelings of
millions and millions of women, period, full stop. I'm sorry
that there are trans people who are going to feel excluded.
I'm very sorry about that. There's got to be a
solution that will allow them to have a category that
they can compete in and maybe we can hammer that out.

(01:10:00):
But I don't think that allowing men into women's locker
rooms is right. I don't think that allowing men into
women's spaces is right. And this is again not anti trans.
The problem is is that there are men who abuse this.
And we've had story after story of men in dressing

(01:10:21):
rooms or locker rooms whipping their penises out because they've
decided they're a woman. Somebody asked me, a friend of
mine actually asked me this, what do you do if
you see a person that you think is a trans
female who looks like a female, like I call her her,
I call her she. But if I see a dude
with a beard in a dress, I'm not calling him her.

(01:10:42):
It's not gonna happen. I think there are degrees. I
think there are people that are genuinely believed they are
of another gender and they have gone to great links
to affirm that gender, and I try to be respectful
of that. But again, some dude with a beard and
a dress where his dress is so tight you can
see his ball, I'm not calling him her or she

(01:11:02):
like I'm just drawing a lot. Just this is huge
and great news, So we shall see what happens next.
But I'm very, very excited about this, Mandy. I want
to say one thing about the protest that Keenan just
reported on. By the way, multiple people keep asking what
Keenan's name is. He is Keenan Dixon. That is his name,

(01:11:26):
Keenan Dixon. It's a very cool name. I think, a
super cool name. Way better than Zach Seekers or even
Mandy Connell. Like, let's face it, our names are just
kind of white bread. Zach nothing special. Keenan Dixon, that's
a cool name. Anyway, he just reported on the protest
happening downtown at the Capitol, and I just have a
question for any of those people dropping the F bombs,

(01:11:48):
as our Jerry Bell reported, For any of the people
that are down there, what exactly do you think you're
gonna accomplish today? Real question? What is blocking traffic in
downtown Denver going to do to stop the Trump administration
from anything. I'll tell you what you're gonna do. You're
gonna continue to erode Democratic support in Colorado. Listen to

(01:12:12):
this from the Center Square. Colorado voters are waiting in
their support for the Democrat Party. A new poll finds
as immigration and the economy continue to be top concerns.
The Colorado Issues poll, conducted by One Street in One
Main Street Colorado, reported that thirty percent of those surveyed
considered the economy and cost of living to have been

(01:12:32):
their most important election day issue, while twenty seven percent
said inflation. And you guys, those should be the same category, right,
because when people are talking about the economy and the
cost of living, they're talking about inflation. Republicans drove those numbers,
with fifty one percent of supporters of Donald Trump listing
the economy and fifty three percent immigration. In contrast, only

(01:12:56):
twelve percent of supporters of former Vice President Kamala Harris
listed the economy and four percent listed immigration. For Democrats,
their top issues included nearly even splits between anti Trump, abortion, integrity,
and democracy. That's adorable. Integrity adorable, You guys gave us

(01:13:20):
Bill Clinton, the guy who well, he didn't actually bang her,
but received oral favors from an intern in the freaking Whitehouse.
So savior like crocodile tears over integrity. Seriously. The poll
also took a look at how view voters view the
Democrat Party, both in the state and in the national election.

(01:13:42):
In what could be concerning for Democrats, The majority of
voters polled said that the Republican Party has done a
better job of addressing inflation and the cost of living,
understanding the challenges they are facing, and representing the middle
class Holly. Along with that, twenty four percent of voters

(01:14:04):
said that Democrats lost key races on election day because
they were out of touch with voters. Of Harris supporters,
twenty seven percent identified poor messaging as the reason, while
thirty five percent of Trump supporters said that Democrats were
out of touch. Going forward, voters encouraged Democrats to focus
on the economy and listening to voters, with an overwhelming

(01:14:28):
seventy two percent saying that the Democrat Party needs to
recognize that most voters have legitimate concerns around immigration, taxation,
and the cost of living. Potentially surprising for some, only
fourteen percent of voters said the Democrat Party should move
to the left politically, while twenty seven percent said it

(01:14:49):
should move to the right, and fifty one percent said
it should bridge the divide. Fifty one percent of voters
in Colorado view the Democratic Party the Colle Raudo Democratic
Party unfavorably. Now this obviously was a poll on democratic politics,
So if they do want about Republican politics, I will

(01:15:11):
be sure to share that with you as well. But
if I am working in the Republican Party, what I
see in this polling data is opportunity galore. Unfortunately, the
leadership currently is only worried about cementing their own power
and surrounding themselves with people who think that the current
chairman is super awesome, so opportunity will be squandered. So

(01:15:36):
there you go, Mandy. It's well documented years ago this
from the text line. Pakistan caught the CIA opening up
so called vaccine facilities. Excuse me, the purchase came out
of nowhere. My apologies. These fronts were used to pay
for regime changes. Eighteen months after getting caught, the CIA
told Pakistan they would not do it again. Guess what
they gave the mission to USAID also wished you had

(01:15:59):
time with General to ask him about what Trump said
to Iran. If they assassinated the US president, they would
be annihilated. It was fantastic, It would be absolutely fantastic, Mandy.
Pam BONDI just got off federal funding to two hundred
and twenty sanctuary cities including Denver thoughts. My thoughts are
play stupid games, win stupid prizes. There you go, Denver,

(01:16:23):
that's your prize. Got a lot of stuff happening on
the common Spirit health text line, Mandy, do you think
these marches on the state capitals is BLM all over again?
Soros funded. I wouldn't put anything past the sort of

(01:16:45):
astro turf supposed grassroots. But part of it goes to
the fact that, and this is going to be a
very judgmental statement, and if anyone who is on the
left is listening to me right now hurts their feelings,
I'm sorry that a little introspection may show you that
I am. I'm accurate about this. And I'll take you

(01:17:06):
back to the Women's March after Trump got elected. The
first time, you had thousands and thousands of women knit
hats that were specifically shaped in their minds like vaginas,
and they descended on Washington, DC because they had been
told that once Trump became president, we were all going
to be back like chained to a stove, pregnant and

(01:17:27):
barefoot with no options. That's what they were told. So
they all show up in Washington, DC. And I know
multiple women who went to the Women's March, and they
all felt super good about themselves. They all felt like
they really did something. What did they actually accomplish? Nothing,
because results don't matter. It's just feeling with all the

(01:17:47):
other people that believe the same way you do. Like
you're part of this big movement, this big organization, and
results don't actually matter. So you can show up and
protest at the capitol of block traffic and create havoc
for people because you're a part of the movement. But
effectiveness is never really at the top of their list.

Speaker 1 (01:18:08):
It just isn't.

Speaker 2 (01:18:10):
They like to get together and make it seem like
everybody believes the same thing I believe. But in reality,
from where I'm sitting, if you're not doing anything that's
going to have an impact, you're just wasting everyone's time
and blocking traffic in the You know, in the meantime,
they can do whatever they want to do. I mean,

(01:18:31):
more power to you, right, But to think that anything
of value is going to come out of this is
just silly. It's just stupid. So that is one of
those things. Now I've got something that you need to
pay attention to because Governor Jared Polis is trying to

(01:18:53):
bring down the healthcare costs in Colorado. Right now, our
medicaid budget because we expanded Medicaid and put a bunch
of people on Medicaid that should not be on Medicaid,
and now we've got too many people on Medicaid and
the Medicaid expenses in the state are busting the budget.
Now we know that our budget is going to be
tighter next year, and they're trying to figure out how
to save money. So Governor Jared Pulis is suggesting that

(01:19:15):
we cap the amount of money that hospitals can charge
certain health plans to certain health plans. Okay, he wants
to cap what hospitals can charge the state employee health
plan and the small market group. Why does this matter
to you? Why is this going to create higher premiums.

(01:19:38):
About forty nine percent of the population works under a
large group health plan. I have a large group health plan.
If you work for any major corporation, you probably have
a large group health plan. Anyway, if you have more
than fifty employees, you are part of a large group
health insurance plan. What's interesting about this article from CBS
four is that they talk about the fact that Medicare underpays.

(01:20:02):
Medicare pays seventy three percent on average what it actually
costs to deliver here, So what about that other twenty
seven percent that is done? They use a tool called
cost shifting, and when I take my insurance in there,
my large group insurance, they say, oh great, you're gonna
pay this amount of money for this procedure. And part
of that money that I'm going to be paying is

(01:20:24):
to make up the difference for Medicare patients because Medicare underpays.
So what Governor Jerry Polis wants to do is he
wants to make sure that the state insurance plan and
small group insurance plans don't have to absorb any of
that cost shifting. So what that means is that the
rest of us on a large group plan, we are

(01:20:46):
now going to have higher premiums, We are going to
have higher copays because our insurance companies are going to
have to bear the brunt of the Medicare underpayment. While
Governor Jerry Polis tries to save the state the extra money.
Instead of telling a lot of the people that are
currently on Medicaid, sorry, you have to go through the
exchange and get subsidized health care, but you're making way

(01:21:08):
too much money to be on Medicaid. Medicaid is the
insure for poor people, period. They take care of elderly
people who are poor. And right now we have people
who are working people who are making seventy thousand, seventy
five thousand dollars that qualify for MEDICAD. That's crazy, and

(01:21:28):
now he wants to make it even worse for the
rest of us. So there you go, There you go, Mandy.
Are they protesting anything in particular? Are just Trump things
in general? The fact that you have to ask pretty
much answers your question, and I'll take it one step further.
Does it even matter? No, No, it doesn't. We'll be

(01:21:50):
right back. I'm here, Mandy Connell got Zach seekers in
or as we've now nicknamed him, on track Zach because
he's trying to keep me on track, which that alone
is a full time job, full time exhausting.

Speaker 7 (01:22:14):
It is.

Speaker 2 (01:22:15):
I'm sorry, it is what it is. Is what I'm saying, Snach.
Let me ask you this question, what are your plans
for the Super Bowl? You go into a party, what
are you doing for the super Bowl?

Speaker 5 (01:22:23):
Honestly, laying low with my girlfriend, we got the stuff
to make all the snacks and of them. I like
watching the game, you know, I want to watch the game.
And whenever I go to a party. The last Super
Bowl party I had, I had someone talk through the
game the whole time and then yell at me when
I dared to talk through the j Low performance, and
that ended it for me.

Speaker 2 (01:22:43):
Well, I hate Super Bowl parties for that very same reason,
because there's always the people that want to talk through
the game and then like, we're gonna watch the commercials now.
Don't get me wrong. Don't get me wrong about commercials.
I have always loved commercials since I was a kid, right,
Like I grew up in the seventies, golden age of Jingles,
the Charman Man.

Speaker 5 (01:23:03):
Right.

Speaker 2 (01:23:03):
I just I've always loved commercials. I don't know what's
wrong with me, so I want to see the commercials.
But if you've seen this now, all these advertisers who
are spending eight million dollars on a thirty second spot
are now releasing their commercials ahead of time. Why, I mean,
why would you do that? They're like, we want to

(01:23:25):
create buzz. No, you're just diluting the impact of your
spot on Super Bowl Sunday, and it used to be
such a cool, weird thing to be obsessed with. Basically,
they're trying to sell us stuff, right, I mean, it's
a weird thing for Americans to be like excited about.
But we got some of our best commercials out of
the super Bowl, you know, the Clyde Steel's commercials alone

(01:23:46):
for like fifteen years. We're worth watching the super Bowl for,
you know, And so I don't get it. I refuse
to watch them. By the way, I put a link.
CBS four had a link with some of the super
Bowl commercials already, and I'm like, I'm not looking. I'm
not going to watch this. But I'm with you, man,
I don't like a super Bowl party because there's inevitably
people that are talking, or or that one drunk guy

(01:24:09):
who's super obnoxious who every time something happens is like, dude,
why did they call that? I'm like, because there is
no penalty? Maybe maybe because of that, sir, have a seat.

Speaker 5 (01:24:20):
The person who is too much riding on the game
and everyone else's problem.

Speaker 2 (01:24:24):
That's and then there's and then there's the guy who
does the prop bets. Right then they're the prop bet
guy who's like oh, man, I thought that so and
so is gonna I bet fifty I bet twenty bucks.

Speaker 5 (01:24:34):
It's so and so.

Speaker 2 (01:24:35):
It's like, I don't care about how you wasted your money.
I really don't do not care. Mandy, is there a
fire northwest of Longlot? I don't know. But now that
I said it on the air, maybe someone can let
us know. Text me on the Common Spirit Health to
text sign at five to six six and I know,
so our news people can check into it. That'd be great.
But I mean, I'm curious about whether or not you

(01:24:57):
guys are super Bowl party people. This super Bowl act
would probably be a super Bowl that I would go
to a super Bowl party for because I genuinely don't
care if either of these teams win, right Like, I
don't care if the Chiefs get another Super Bowl. I
don't care if the Eagles win a super Bowl. I
don't care about. I have no investment, no emotional investment

(01:25:18):
in this game. So maybe this would be the kind
of game that I would go to a super Bowl party.
But since Snowe's invited me to their super Bowl party,
it doesn't matter. But yeah, I'm just gonna like chill.
I'm gonna make some you know, maybe make some wings.
I don't know. I have no idea what I'm gonna
do yet. I got all the stuff to make the

(01:25:41):
sausage cheese dip stuff. Mandy, Dude, why didn't they call that?
Because they're the chiefs. Okay, that's a legit criticism. I
believe this person said hurting Cat's commercial classic. I don't
know what you're talking about, Texter, because if it's going
to be playing this Super Bowl, I don't know. Hey,

(01:26:03):
Zach as the young member of the team right now,
I need to know, uh, how often you are using
the words let's see here, let me find it really quickly.
I need to know which phrases that you are using.
Are you using sigma, omega, baddy, presh or is that presche?

(01:26:25):
I don't know preche. I guess it's presche. That one's
actually new to me. Oh, they're all new to me.
Although I do know some of the slang that my
daughter at fifteen knows, she does not use this slang
to my knowledge. She might with her friends. But I say,
the other day she said something, I was like, no cap,
no cap detected, and she's just like, mom, stop stop

(01:26:46):
doing that. I'm like, no, I'm trying to be hip.
I've got RIZ. She's like, no, you don't. I feel
like I'm past the cutoff now.

Speaker 5 (01:26:53):
I don't think I could take myself seriously saying things
like Sigma or a RIZ or anything.

Speaker 2 (01:26:58):
I feel like I've crossed the what those Zach, you'reberly
busting So it's okay, slay Zach slag. There's a story
in the Wall Street Journal that I shared. And by
the way, you guys, I don't know if this website
is even legal, but I'm using it to share stuff
that's behind a paywall. So let's just keep that to ourselves. Okay,

(01:27:19):
found a way to link the stories behind a paywall
for you, so just you know. But this story from
the Wall Street Journal is hilarious, absolutely hilarious, and it
just talks about, like now, with the power of social media,
these weird slang terms just spread like wildfire around you

(01:27:40):
know this one. Philip Lindsay, a middle school teacher, flags
and defines words that pop up on his social classroom
on in his classroom on social media. In a recent video,
he rattled off thirty one phrases he'd heard in a
single week. Beta maxing, Yet, what is gyat? G y at?

Speaker 1 (01:27:58):
What is that?

Speaker 2 (01:28:00):
Chad baddie, Sigma skibbety. The list and even the definitions
goes on and on and on. Now to be clear,
every hang on one second. Wait, Chuck is calling me
on my on my cell phone and I don't know why. Um, yeah,
maybe he forgot I'm doing a show. I don't know,

(01:28:22):
my husband. What yat is a butt? How do you
use that? Like? She's got a nice gyat like like
I think it comes from like a yat.

Speaker 5 (01:28:31):
Damn you if you see a butt that would elicit
that response from it.

Speaker 1 (01:28:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:28:41):
Sharon Blanchett, a seventy eight year old retired divorce attorney
from San Diego, recently had breakfast with her granddaughter McKenna.
She's seventeen. She had to stop her nit conversation to
ask what homie hopping is. It means that if you
have a circle of friends, when your boyfriend breaks up
with you, he then goes out with your circle or
someone in your circle of friends. Homie hopping.

Speaker 5 (01:29:03):
I can't imagineretty use, honey, I can imagine using that
in conversation with my mom a relative.

Speaker 6 (01:29:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:29:10):
Yeah, some of the things that kids say like the
whole bra, pra pra. And again my daughter does not
use these words with me. I mean we don't even
really speak. So it's fine, Bra. That's the big thing. Well,
you go from like mom or mama to mommy, and

(01:29:30):
then you go to mom and then.

Speaker 4 (01:29:31):
You go to bra.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
I think this is hilarious because I grew up in
the age of valley talk, right, and like the valley
girls were out there and like Groady and all of
those things. But until there was a movie you you
didn't really know how common it was. But even on
my parents back then were like, what are you talking about.
I'm trying to bring back eighties terms like I want
to bring back rad. Rad was such a great word

(01:29:57):
because it's just so positive, right, rad, And it's good.
Rat is good, not bad.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
Rad.

Speaker 2 (01:30:05):
Could you know if you think rat is bad, that's
bad because rat is good. I would like to appreciate
I appreciate all of you people who are inviting meteor
Super Bowl parties. I very much appreciate everyone on the
text line. So uh, yeah, there you go, there you go.
No fire, just winding clouds coming over the mountain, says
this long amount listener Jimbo said, I'd rather watch paint

(01:30:27):
dry than watch football. Mister Whipple was the Sharman guy.
Of course. Of course, of course. Some of the commercials
that stick with me from my childhood the Colgon commercials.
They were like almost blatantly racist. Okay, you have a
Shinese family running a laundry and then they come in

(01:30:48):
they're like, how do you get my white so white?
And they're like behind the scenes, they're like cowgna. It's
just water softener that you added into your detertionent. Cow gone.
And then there was a kalgun bubble bout kwgun take
me away. They were so good. Mandy, my eleven year
old drives me nuts with the BRA stuff. Here's a
solution that a friend of mine used on her kids,
and she said it was extremely effective. She started only

(01:31:11):
referring to them as BRA and they didn't like it.
She said it took about two days to get consistent.
But before she addressed any of them, she would start with, pro,
can you clean your room?

Speaker 1 (01:31:21):
Pro?

Speaker 2 (01:31:21):
Can you come to dinner?

Speaker 1 (01:31:22):
Pro?

Speaker 2 (01:31:23):
I need you to take the trash out, And within
like forty eight hours, they're like, mom, you have to stop.
She's like Okay, you stop. I'll stop. Next time you
call me bruh, I'm calling you bra back again, over
and over and over again. The bro problem was solved
in her household. Gag me with a spoon, Mandy exactly.
Um oh, we have a clear definition of what gat means. Girl,

(01:31:49):
you're a thick, which translates to anybody's butt. So there
you go, Yat, I mean, oh, you got to make
the donuts? You guys, I still say that all the time.
You have no idea where that phrase came from to you?
Zach got him time to make the donuts. No, I've
heard it, but I don't know the words. Okay, So
there was a Dunkin Donuts commercial for years and it

(01:32:10):
was the guy from Dunkin Donuts, and every commercial he
was like getting up all sleepy, and then he's like,
time to make the donuts. And he goes in and
makes all the Dunkin Donuts commercial. And I still say
that right before I come in to do the show sometimes,
time to make the donuts. And that's what it's from.

Speaker 4 (01:32:25):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:32:25):
Oh, ancient Chinese secret was Kalgone. You're right, you're out.
Oh the tidy bowl man dude there used to be
a guy in a speedboat in your toilet to him
tidy bowl. I mean, I'm telling you it was. The
seventies were glorious when it came to commercials. So good,
so so good, Mandy, it's like, whatever exactly, it's rad.

(01:32:50):
I can't stand Let's go. I don't know why I'm
getting old. I guess why you hate Let's go. It's
an action phrase. Let's go. I like it, Mandy. The
South Asian guy in the Colganad was one of the
bad guys in the first RoboCop movie Useless Trivia moment. Yes,
it is very good. Oh what about Madge and the
women soaking their hands in pall mallive? God, they were

(01:33:12):
so good. And the jingles back then, And don't even
get me started on cereal commercials, they were so good.
Yesterday on the blog, I had a video of British
teenagers trying American cereal. Did you see it? I've seen
the ones where it's like barbecue, biscuits and grazes. They
were all like, oh my god, this is so sweet,

(01:33:32):
Oh my god, so much sugar. Every single one of
them was like oh. They did not comment that the
Captain Crunch probably took the skin off their mouth, the
roof of their mouth. I mean, I was telling my
daughter the other day. Back like in the eighties, we
got a microwave. We got a microwave, I think in

(01:33:53):
nineteen seventy nine. It was it was as big as
our house, right, we had to get a second house
to put the microwave then because it was so big,
it took up half the counter space in our kitchen.
But we got a microwave. This is a big deal.
And then Stofers came out with French bread pizza. So
the French bread pizza, you put them in there. You
put it in there for the time, and it says

(01:34:14):
let it sit for four to five minutes when you
take it out of the microwave. Did any of us
actually do that? No, we did not. So the first
thing you did when you ate a French bread lasagna,
which by the way, we're super good. I don't know
if they still are. The first thing you did was
burn the top of your mouth, like scald it immediately,
and then the bread crunch would just scrape the burn

(01:34:35):
part off the top of your mouth. It was it
was a glorious situation. Oh, you've got short shorts. Was
that nair was that? Wasn't that like a hair removal product?
I don't know, MoMA me, I can't believe. I hate
the whole thing. Colley, these are so good. Calling my

(01:34:56):
kid brough only made them lean into it. No, that's
all we hear. Sorry about that? So sorry about that, Mandy.
I'm so sick of the ridiculous commercials of everybody smelling
everybody else. When did we get so consumed with putting
perfumes in detergent that now? I mean, you know, if
you want to smell good, buy a decent Colone. But

(01:35:18):
I don't understand like the flavor beads or whatever. But
I also don't like strong smells I got. We got
in an uber in Puerto Rico, and I don't know
what the dude was trying to do in that uber,
but the air freshener scent was so strong that I
almost vomited. It was awful. Where's the beef, Clara? You

(01:35:40):
know that, Mandy? I used time to make the donuts
all the time too. Remember he likes it. Hey, Mikey,
that was life cereal? Hey Colligan, man, Yeah, my bad
bad is an adjective. Sorry, Uh to all be fatty
special sauceletuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun. That,
of course, it's the Big Mac song, Big Fig Newton.

(01:36:02):
What the guy dressed is a fig dancing around? Yep, yep, Mandy,
don't forget old gold dancing cigarette packs, cigarette packs with
girls' legs sticking out dancing, No wonder I smoked. I
don't remember cigarette ads from when I was a kid.
I mean, I'm not saying they weren't there, but I
don't remember them being on TV. I do remember there

(01:36:23):
was the Charlie commercial.

Speaker 4 (01:36:25):
What was it?

Speaker 8 (01:36:26):
The what was?

Speaker 2 (01:36:26):
She could bring them the bacon, fry it up in
a pan and never let you forget you're a man.
What kind of pressure does that put on women? But
not only do you have to be a great cook,
you're supposed to put out in the bedroom when you're
exhausted from working all day. But hey, you smell like Charlie.
Come on, people, come on, Mandy. And now we get

(01:36:47):
ugly progressive commercials. Yeah, yeah, yeah, anyway, I didn't mean
to go down that rabbit hole.

Speaker 4 (01:36:56):
But here we are.

Speaker 2 (01:36:57):
So on Sunday I will be watching the commercials. But
I will also be watching the game. See how that
can happen? Who is the Super Bowl entertainment this year?
Who's the halftime show? Uh?

Speaker 5 (01:37:07):
Kendrick Lamar with special guest Sizza is what we know
so much.

Speaker 2 (01:37:11):
So literally, I'm gonna know. Zero songs is what I'm hearing.
Zero songs is what I'm looking forward to right now
because I've never I don't know if I've ever heard
a song by Kendrick Lamar or Sizza. You gotta start
listening to. Not like us, Mandy, get rid of what
I'm good. I'm good, I'm old. I like old people music.
I'm looking forward to the yacht review at at Fiddler's
Green this this summer. And you know, I don't. I

(01:37:34):
don't need to. I don't need to listen to new music.
Actually that's a lie. My daughter has actually introduced me
to a lot of new music. But Kendrick Lamar and
Sissa are not two of them, So there you go. Anyway,
Ryan Edwards is joined the chat everybody.

Speaker 9 (01:37:47):
I had fun on Grammy nights. My kids were introducing
me to all kinds of new music. I was like,
I don't know who this is, and they're like, oh,
are you kidding me.

Speaker 2 (01:37:55):
This is such a popular song. I don't know, I know,
I old. I will say that my daughter doesn't just
play new music like she has all these classics, and
sometimes she'll play one. I'm like, oh, one on my
song and she's like, mommy, it was on Stranger Things,
or it was on it was on Supernatural or whatever.
I don't care why you like it, doesn't make a
bit of difference to me. How you heard it. This

(01:38:15):
is my music, so I always get excited about that.
All right, Now it's time for the most exciting segment
all the radio on its guy the World of the day.
All right, and now let me see here. What is
our joke of the day? Joke of the day.

Speaker 5 (01:38:35):
Why did the belt get arrested? What does the belt
get arrested? I do not know the answer to this question.

Speaker 2 (01:38:44):
It held up a pair of pants. Oh wow, wow wow.
That one was. That was a little bit tough. I've
got one for you. A guy named Adam sent me
a text message. Two fish are in a tank. One
turns to the other, ass how do you drive this thing?
Which I think it's hilarious. That's pretty good. Is a
good one? And one more? How long does a jousting
tournament last until nightfall? And last one? Friday is National

(01:39:11):
Periodic Table Day. Now that you know about it in advance,
it loses the element of surprise. Ye, there you go,
all right now, thank you very much, Adam, those we're
all fantastic. What is our word of the day? Word
of the day today is canard? A canard is like
a like a cliche type thing, like that old canard. Again,

(01:39:34):
I don't know how to define it. I could use
it in a sentence correctly, but I don't.

Speaker 5 (01:39:38):
Know how to define it. If that makes sense, Ben
has an alternate definition true. But the definition they're going
with is a false report or story or a belief
for rumor that isn't true.

Speaker 2 (01:39:50):
Okay, then what was Ben Stephanie, I was gonna say
that that.

Speaker 5 (01:39:55):
I was going to ask a definition first, stabilizing the
stabilizing part.

Speaker 2 (01:39:59):
Of a missile or point.

Speaker 6 (01:40:00):
You know what?

Speaker 2 (01:40:00):
That's far too Tom clancy for the show bend so
nice try but no, Okay. Our trivia question, which term
describes organisms that live on the bottom or in the
bottom sediments of a body of water? I mean, is
it bottom feeders?

Speaker 3 (01:40:15):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:40:15):
No, that's not it barnacor something benfos. The word refers
to both flora and fauna. Both flora and fauna. They
sound like a set of strippers that are, you know,
working together at the strip club. Flora and fauna. Please exactly,
not that we've ever been to a strip club. I
mean that would be embarrassing for both of us. Okay,

(01:40:36):
here we go.

Speaker 5 (01:40:36):
What is our Jeopardy category? Jeopardy category two day is beware.
It's going to be a bunch of clothes starting with

When asked this angel choice of underwear options, Bill Klein
didn't give a definitive answer.

Speaker 2 (01:41:33):
What boxers Mandy water boxers or briefs.

Speaker 4 (01:41:38):
It is both. It is the question box or box.

Speaker 1 (01:41:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:41:43):
A British Overseas territory has explained that the real type
of these bottoms are worn three inches above.

Speaker 2 (01:41:50):

one the.

Speaker 5 (01:42:01):

a big story. There's a game this weekend.

Speaker 6 (01:42:23):
There's a game this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:42:24):
We'll get into some of that. Hy Why are they
already releasing Super Bowl commercials? I am so annoyed by this,
you know, I'm I just it spoils it. It is
a bit of a grind. I see I see my
social media pop up and I'm like, I'm like, I'm
like turning away dramatically when they pop up on my
on my feet and I scroll down as fast as
I can't. I don't. I hate that.

Speaker 9 (01:42:45):
There's a chanting tatum one that I already saw, and
I'm like, ah, man, it's ruined, exactly ruined.

Speaker 2 (01:42:50):
No, I'm I'm gonna get the word out. I mean,
if you're gonna pay eight mill
