1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,560
Speaker 1: Michael.

2
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Do you have any information regarding whether any of the

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 2: survivors of the shooting yet Brown saw the shooter.

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:10,800
Speaker 1: I do not.

5
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 3: I honestly haven't paid a lot of attention to the

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: Brown shooting, not for any particular reason, just that it's

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 3: an ongoing criminal investigation. Brown University is a very small

8
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: in terms of its footprint, is a very small maybe

9
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 3: a quarter mile by quarter mile square. It's in Providence,

10
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a small place now on the campus

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 3: once or twice. That's been years ago, and I don't

12
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 3: remember much about it. Oh, let me remind you. The

Speaker 3: Because well I just noticed because they left the old

19
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 3: I'll just freely admit they left the old text lineup

20
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 3: here and it's open and I just glanced at it. Uh, Yep,

21

Speaker 3: You could you know what, we should be one of

27
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: their favorites. How many favorites on an iPhone can you have?

28
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: I think as many as you want. I have no idea.

29
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 3: Well I think I have three, but I think you can.

30
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 3: I think no, wife, daughter, son.

31
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: I was thinking Lienburger, Lienberger, and then I was trying

32
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 4: to figure out who the third was. A camera.

33
00:01:55,480 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: No, No, it's uh it's McDonald's order my Oh, yeah, yeah,

34
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 3: that's what it is.

35
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Yeah.

36
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 3: Yesterday, both The Wall Street Journal and CNBC published somewhat

37
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: similar headlines.

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: Ford the Motor company found on road.

39
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 3: Dead fixer Repair Daily to record nineteen and a half

40
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: billion dollars in special charges as it pulls back on

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: their electric vehicle plans. Ford expects to record about nineteen

42
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: and a half billion of special items, mostly during the

43
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: fourth quarter, they said Monday. The charges related to restructuring

44
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: of its business priorities and a pullback in its all

45
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 3: electric vehicle investments. And let's see, that's that's the CNBC story.

46
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: That's pretty much all you need to know. Well, I

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: guess I would say that the day of reckoning for

48
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 3: Ford Motor Company's decision to feed whole hog at the

49
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 3: Biden subsidy trough finally came to an end yesterday. They

50
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: were just up and down the trough. They cut to

51
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: the end of it. No, I can't. I got my

52
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: throat all screwed up.

53
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: I mean, they put a lot of money into that lightning.

54
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 4: And for the people that like trucks just to say

55
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 4: that they have a truck, sure, go ahead, get a

56
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 4: Ford lightning. They're probably really great. But if you're getting

57
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 4: a truck to get a truck truck, truck to hall stuff, bad.

58
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: Idea, bad idea, bad idea.

59
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: If you want one just for the sake of Hey, look,

60
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: I've got a really cool looking truck, go ahead.

61
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 3: I don't look I've actually seen that. Of course I'm

62
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: not looking. But if I start looking, maybe I'll start noticing.

63
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 3: I don't think i've ever seen I don't think I

64
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: can tell you what a Ford Lightning looks like. Does

65
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,119
Speaker 3: it look like a F one fifty or what it does?

66
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: It does? But does it say? Does it?

67
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: He says lightning on the back or on the side,

68
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: and like.

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: On the back is he says the Bolden in boss

70
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: like I think it.

71
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 4: Still just says f one fifty And then in the corner,

72
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 4: says Lightning. Don't quote me on this kind of stuff.

73
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure, but it it just looks like a

74
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: really cool new truck.

75
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: Do they come in black and gray or just like pink.

76
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 4: Pastel, whatever color you want, or Michael, whatever.

77
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: Color you want. So they their decision, well it.

78
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: Wasn't was it their decision or did they really just

79
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: come to the end of the trough and there were

80
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: no more subsidies, So the decision was made for them.

81
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: Because whether it was their decision or the fact they

82
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: ran out of the subsidies in materialized in the form

83
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: of almost twenty billion dollars in special.

84
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: Charges as they recognize.

85
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 3: That they've got to reorganize and write down their stupid

86
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 3: investments in high dollar battery electric vehicles like that Lightning

87
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: and the Mustang mock e. You know, I never I've

88
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 3: driven Mustangs, but I've never owned a Mustang. But it

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: just seemed sacrilegious to make a Mustang into an EV.

90
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Now when I.

91
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 4: Think it's also a Ford or that Ford Mustang that

92
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: the new EV, Well, you can put what you're a.

93
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: Little you'll rag at the end all on the back seat,

94
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: because that's all I would fit in the backseat of

95
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: the last Ford Mustang I was in.

96
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: It looks almost like a like a crossover suv.

97
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

98
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 3: And then when I when I reached out to my

99
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: son in law, who's the kind of the car guy

100
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: in the family about you know, I was going to

101
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: trade in the m sport. He was trying to convince

102
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 3: me that portion now makes I don't know whether it's

103
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 3: a boxer or a care or whatever whatever it is,

104
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 3: that they have an ev one that he's actually thinking about.

105
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: And I texted thing back and said, are you out

106
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 3: of your mind? And he goes, eh, you know, I

107
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 3: thought I'd just try him, because he trades like every

108
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 3: year or something. I might just try it, or maybe

109
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,240
Speaker 3: I'll get it for my you know, my daughter, for

110
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 3: his wife. And I thought to myself, I think you

111
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 3: should have that conversation first.

112
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 4: And if you've got enough money for the Porsche, I

113
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 4: don't think you're getting it for you know, the cross

114
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 4: country road trip. So it's probably a second or third

115
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 4: car anyway.

116
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 3: So well, it's he drives back and forth to work

117
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 3: in Scottsdale, which is I don't know, maybe a ten

118
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: mile commute, so yeah, maybe so, but he's still a

119
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: he's a heavy foot driver, he's going to eat up

120
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: that battery.

121
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: I don't know anyway.

122
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: I think that it's going to reorganize its alternative vehicle

123
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: of investments around making lower price evs and hybrid versions

124
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: of its internal combustion models. A somewhat amazing eight and

125
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 3: a half billion of the nineteen and a half billion

126
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 3: dollars total is going to come in the form of

127
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 3: a write down of the company's EV investments, including canceling

128
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 3: a next generation of large all electric trucks in exchange

129
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: for smaller, more affordable evs, and then try to rebalance

130
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: its investments in their core products such as trucks and SUVs.

131
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 3: Now again, going back to the CNB story, hilariously, they

132
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 3: report that the company's stock price act.

133
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: What do you think.

134
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: Their stock price dad when they announced, So, here's a

135
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 3: company that has been feeding at the troph of subsidies.

136
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 3: They realized the subsidies come to an end. They also

137
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: realized they got a lot of stock on their lots

138
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 3: and they can't sell, so they're gonna write down twenty billion.

139
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: They're gonna write down twenty billion dollars in charge offs.

140
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: What do you think the stock does.

141
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: It probably fell a little bit.

142
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: No, it went up.

143
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 3: It went up because I here's my take. I think

144
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: that the market recognized how more than forged prospects have

145
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: become under the deaf guidance of CEO Jim Farley and

146
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 3: his rent seeking management team, all pursuing all of these subsidies.

147
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 3: And now that that's kind of come to an end,

148
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: I think investors realize, oh, they're going to get back

149
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: to actually banking.

150
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Cars and trucks that run on gas.

151
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: So maybe I'll buy this because the stock's probably on

152
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 3: an increase over time. Here's an excerpt from the CNBC

153
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: CNBC story. Farley told CNBC's Phil Lebou the last couple

154
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 3: of months have been really clear to us.

155
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: The very high end evs, the fifty thousand, seventy eighty

156
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 1: thousand dollars vehicles, they just weren't selling Ford. This is continuing.

157
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 3: Ford said the changes are expected to provide a path

158
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 3: to profitability for its Model E electric vehicle business. Buy

159
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 3: twenty twenty nine checks calendar. Oh yeah, four years away,

160
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 3: well maybe three years away, targeting annual improvements beginning in

161
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six. The automaker also said it expects the

162
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 3: changes to improve profits in its traditional Ford Blue unit

163
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: and Ford Pro commercial and fleet business over time, with

164
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 3: early signs of benefits in the next year, the automaker

165
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: set it expects approximately fifty percent of its global volume

166
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: by twenty thirty will be hybrids and fully electric vehicles,

167
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: up from seventeen percent in twenty twenty five. Ford said

168
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: it will concentrate its North American electric vehicle development on

169
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 3: this new low cost, flexible universal EV platform that's expected

170
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 3: to underpin a quote high volume family of smaller, highly

171
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: efficient and affordable electric vehicles. The first vehicle from the

172
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 3: new platform will be a quote fully connected Missize pickup

173
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 3: truck assembly at the company's Louisville assembly plant starting in

174
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven. Wow from the Wall Street Journal. Instead

175
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 3: of plowing this is Ford again, Chief executive Jim Farley

176
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 3: in an interview. Instead of plowing billions into the future

177
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: knowing these large evs will never make money, we are pivoting.

178
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: We now know enough.

179
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 3: About the US market where we have a lot more

180
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 3: certainty in this second inning of reduced emission power trains. Second,

181
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,080
Speaker 3: hitting my butt, this is the bottom of the night

182
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 3: for you, Jimbo. You either hit a walk off or

183
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 3: the investors are going to revolt. And I think that's

184
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 3: what you sent the signal to the margin. That's why

185
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 3: the stock went up. Now the company they continue in

186
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: the journal, the company said it remains on track to

187
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 3: produce a thirty thousand dollars EV pickup for sale by

188
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven, which the company says will be the

189
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: first in a new string of low cost evs. Quote, now,

190
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 3: this is the core of our EV strategy in America.

191
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 3: We've got to land the plane. Why I I am.

192
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: How about you just make cars that American consumers actually

193
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 3: want to are willing to and do buy, you know,

194
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: like your own four f one fifty which runs on

195
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: gas or diesel. This really isn't hard, unless, of course,

196
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 3: you make it hard, which they seem to do. Then

197
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 3: they continue to boost revenue. Ford Food Ford will turn

198
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 3: its Kentucky EV battery factory into a battery storage business

199
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 3: for customers such as utilities, wind and solar power developers,

200
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: and massive data centers that train AI. Ford set up

201
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: plans to hire thousands of new employees across the United States,

202
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 3: though some sixteen hundred workers at the battery plan will

203
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 3: be laid off while it gets repurposed. Well, maybe those

204
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: workers could learn to code. No, no, wait, wait a minute,

205
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 3: AI is taking over that realm. I guess they there's

206
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: that luck they can't learn to code. That's not going

207
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: to help. Four continues about well the story continues, I

208
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 3: shouldn't say, Ford continues, they now talk about GM. General

209
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: Motors forced to retreat some plans to have an all

210
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 3: EV lineup by twenty thirty five, wrote down one point

211
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 3: six billion in EV assets in the third quarter, signaled

212
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: that more write downs are in store as it pulls

213
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: back on their EV capacity. GM recognized that equipment it

214
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 3: bought for a planned EV factory was wasted once the

215
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 3: company decided to make gas vehicles there instead. Now they

216
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 3: don't They say one point six million, but I can't

217
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 3: wait to see the magnitude of the additional write downs

218
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 3: coming from General Motors, which they have worked over time

219
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: to conceal their EV related losses in the bowels of

220
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 3: their financials. At least Farley and Ford had been transparent

221
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,479
Speaker 3: about their FIESCO that they were creating for the investors.

222
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 3: Once again, was why I think the stock went up.

223
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 3: Farley continued, said the company will be better off with

224
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: a variety of vehicle types rather than going all in

225
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: on a single technology. He said, this is a better

226
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 3: solution for customers. None of us really know what the

227
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: future is going to be, but Ford knows the enough

228
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 3: about the future to know that this.

229
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: Mix is the right mix, well one at least.

230
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 3: They are now focused on solutions for their customers. If

231
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 3: you're trying to sell something that your customers don't want, yeah,

232
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 3: investors are going to pull back and your lots are

233
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 3: going to remain full, sales remain stagnant, and then, oh,

234
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 3: you think you know enough about the future. I don't

235
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: think Farley has the slightest clue what he's doing. So

236
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 3: let's just take a scattergun approach to his corporate strategy.

237
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 3: It hopes that he might just land on something it

238
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: actually works. Now, in the same society, that kind of

239
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 3: crap would be criminal under the sec but here not really. Now,

240
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 3: let's go on to Saskatchewan. You ever been to Saskatchewan.

241
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 3: It's a great place. You've ever been to Regina? Now,

242
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: it's kind of an interesting place. But you keep going

243
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 3: further north. You get to the Northwest Territories and there

244
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 3: is some great lake trout fishing and you can use

245
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 3: the occasionally see of Moosa a bear.

246
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:12,680
Speaker 2: Two.

247
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: I want you to listen as the city's transit.

248
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: Director tells the Saskatchewan City council members that they've wasted

249
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 3: a stunning two million dollars per bus on seven electric

250
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: buses that can hold a charge for maybe two to

251
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 3: three hours a day in the wintertime. I know this

252
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 3: comes as a shock to many of you that live

253
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 3: below the thirtieth parallel, but you get about, well, you

254
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: get to Montana, even although it wasn't cold this this

255
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 3: past week, it is gold up there, and Saskatchewan and

256
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: Northwest territories, it's gold. The city has the Regina does

257
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: thirteen more of these costly beasts, these buses on order.

258
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 3: They voted last September to actually continue to buy the

259
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 3: stupid things because they wanted to convert the entire fleet

260
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: to full ev buses or hybrids. Now you've got to

261
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 3: love a city council who asks if they can just

262
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: use the ev buses. Can we just use them in

263
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 3: the spring, summer, fall, and then just use diesel in

264
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: the winter. You know, when the electric ones suck. Total

265
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 3: costs of the twenty in service or on order thus

266
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 3: far fifty million dollars split between the city and the

267
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: federal Government of Canada profligate waste nowfeesus by public officials,

268
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 3: all based on pseudoscience and of course the religion of

269
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 3: the Church of the Climate activists. But I'm sure it

270
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: will go unpunished.

271
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 5: Asking me, I'm not in favor of electric buses at all.

272
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 5: It's not for the Saskatchewan weather for the winter. Their

273
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 5: battery dies very quickly and they can just run for

274
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 5: two three hours.

275
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: That's old. That's very interesting.

276
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 4: We cut electric buses reguard to that fleet to maintain services.

277
00:15:59,320 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: What do you be happy with that?

278
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 5: Elecrinty happy with that? Before we were happy with the

279
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 5: electric buses also when we haven't seen them on the

280
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 5: road there because it will save some fuel, we were thinking,

281
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 5: and it's going with the environment there.

282
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: We were happy to go with that. But now when we.

283
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 5: See after two hours of drive their battery comes to

284
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 5: fifteen percent, Oh wow, didn't even know what if facebook

285
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 5: Iverrie were last Friday, there was four buses. Four buses

286
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 5: we have to change off with a fifteen percent battery.

287
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: The electricus question one hundred and firty three buses. I

288
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: think in the fleet twenty.

289
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 5: One electric diesels pretty expensive.

290
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: Is there reason why we couldn't use the buses?

291
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 5: They don't use the gas in the fall, spring and

292
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 5: summer for field savings, and just use the deal ones

293
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 5: and winter when the electric ones are We haven't tried

294
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 5: in summer yet. We have to wait till summer. Now

295
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 5: for the electric business. This is the first time we

296
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 5: got during the winter time. I think with the one

297
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 5: charge the maximum how many two hudred kilometers they can

298
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 5: go with one charge full charge? So we're spending money

299
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 5: on electricity there too. Right, if we're saving on fueld,

300
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 5: you're spending on electricity and we can't rely on them.

301
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 5: Whether diesel buses, we have a sign. We know that

302
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 5: it will go this long, the electric buses, especially in winter.

303
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: A big note, This is business fust a big no.

304
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: It's hilarious. I don't know why that audios can sped up.

305
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 3: Seems to be sped up. Hey, can we just can

306
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: we use the electric ones in the summer and just

307
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 3: use the gas ons and the diesel ones in the

308
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: sun I don't know, you know, and won't you have

309
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: to buy more because you've already invested so much in

310
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 3: the electric buses, you're going to have to spend more

311
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: to buy more gas buses. M That's how devoted they

312
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 3: are to the religion. Absolutely devoted to it.

313
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 6: You know, Michael, You just having come back from Montana.

314
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: Many of us who lived there had block.

315
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 6: Heaters in our trucks for the winter time with that

316
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 6: little electric court sticking out the front. And I cannot

317
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 6: tell you how many Californias wanting to where I got

318
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 6: mile electric picked up from long before Ford Raper put

319
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 6: them mountain. Yeah, not the brightest bulbs out there.

320
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 3: You go to a public parking garage in Regina, Saskatchewan,

321
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 3: and they'll have all of those outlets for you know,

322
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: if you're working in an office building and there's a

323
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 3: parking garage next to it, there'll be an outlet there

324
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 3: so you can plug your block eater into the into

325
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 3: that outlet.

326
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: And oh, my gosh, are the.

327
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 3: Because the winners are just so long and so dirty

328
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 3: and so nasty and so much snow and ice everything

329
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 3: else that the parking garages are just nasty.

330
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: They're just nasty with dirt and.

331
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 3: You know, you know how you know when the snow melts,

332
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 3: it's caught all the dirt and dust and everything. Now,

333
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 3: that's that's the parking garages in Saskatchewan. Here's where here,

334
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 3: here's an example of why you need to use three

335
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: three one zero three keyword, Mike or Michael, if you

336
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 3: want to text me something, because Goober thirty seven to

337
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: ninety three just sent me a text at well not

338
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: just at ten eighteen, but I just saw it during

339
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 3: the break, and they're going to hijack the next segment,

340
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: maybe even the next two segments where chasing a squirrel dragon.

341
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 4: That's why we love the text line in the talk back.

342
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: That's right, we love them. But you got to use

343
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: the ride number three three one zero three. And here's

344
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: prove three three one oh three three three one zero three.

345
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: That's right, you got it, You got it exactly right.

346
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 3: You just can't say the words correctly. You need to

347
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 3: use your big boy words. Uh thirty seven ninety three,

348
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 3: White writes, Mike, do you see in quotes any do

349
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: you see any emerging conservative or Republican leadership in Colorado?

350
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 3: The police takeover seems to be complete. The Republicans don't

351
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 3: seem to fight back or have any plans other than

352
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 3: rolling over and wetting themselves well, Republicans are very good

353
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 3: at that. They roll over and wet themselves very very well.

354
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 3: But you may or may not be aware that there was.

355
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 3: In fact, I was introduced to the individual that's running

356
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: for a governor because his pr or manager or whatever

357
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 3: is is a friend of mine. But I don't do

358
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 3: political interviews. I don't interview people running for office, one

359
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 3: primarily because I find them incredibly boring.

360
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: Two, if there's.

361
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 3: Anything that's likely to derail and go off the rails

362
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 3: very very quickly, is me questioning a politician and a

363
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 3: politician giving me bull crap talking point answers. Because I

364
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 3: like to go to second, third, fourth, fifth level in

365
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 3: terms of answers, so it usually turns out to be

366
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,399
Speaker 3: pretty lousy radio. And I don't make any friends, not

367
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: that I'm trying to make friends. And the other reason

368
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 3: is it's just it's boring.

369
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: It's boring.

370
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: But that question makes me think about something that maybe

371
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: we should talk about a little bit, and that is.

372
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: Are there any and is so?

373
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 3: Who are they? And where are they? Are they worth chasing?

374
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 3: Are they worth trying to deal with? Are they? How

375
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 3: should I put it? Let me put it this way.

376
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 3: I try to manage two political instincts. You can have

377
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: two thoughts in your brain at the same time. The

378
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 3: first instinct is my own ideology, which if you've been

379
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 3: listening to me for any lead of time I'm seven,

380
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 3: you know, almost twenty years on radio now, you know

381
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 3: that I am conservative libertarian, and I leant pretty staunchly

382
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 3: over to the right side of the political spectrum. But

383
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 3: I'm also aware that many ideas within my coalition called

384
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 3: the Republican Party are outdated, just not very good ideas,

385
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 3: not very many original ideas, and we're not very good

386
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 3: at communicating our ideas. That's the first side of my brain.

387
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 3: And the second side of my brain is the pragmatic

388
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 3: side of the brain, which is not always aligned with

389
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 3: the ideological side of my brain. And when I think

390
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 3: about that disconnect, I think about a person that I

391
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,959
Speaker 3: had to deal with a lot when I was the undersecretary.

392
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: She's the current senior citizen, a senior citizen. She's the

393
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: current senior centate citizen. She is the current senior senator

394
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: from the state of Maine, Susan Collins. Susan Collins is

395
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 3: a coin flip on any pressure packed vote in the

396
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: US Senate.

397
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: You never know. She sometimes is on the right side

398
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: of the vote. Sometimes she's on the.

399
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: Wrong side of the vote in my brain, maybe not yours,

400
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 3: but in mind. Yet, after three Trump era presidential elections

401
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: in Maine, I can also tell you this, she is

402
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 3: the only Republican who can win that seat in Maine.

403
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: You can successfully primary Susan Collins if you want, but

404
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 3: I guarantee an to you that you will lose the

405
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: seat because primary Susan Collins is a mistake.

406
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: Oh what do you think that makes me a rhino?

407
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: I just know that a fast pitch is going to

408
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 3: get hit in that state. It's going to be a

409
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 3: grand Slam, So I'm gonna throw a curveball instead. Sometimes

410
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: we wind up having to replace retiring candidates. Take MDG

411
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: Marjorie Taylor Green or Don Bacon over in Nebraska. But

412
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: most of the time when we are shouting primary, it's

413
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,120
Speaker 3: because Canadas have really screwed the pooch. And I could

414
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 3: name a.

415
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I can name a bunch of candadates

416
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: who has screwed the pooch.

417
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 3: The flea bag Indiana Senator who are fine letting Democrats

418
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,720
Speaker 3: and Trumps their seats in Stone in a state that

419
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 3: Trump won by nineteen points. Have no issue with Virginia

420
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 3: flipping four Republican seats in a state that Harris one

421
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 3: by six.

422
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: They can all go find something else to do.

423
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: And I'd be happy to partner with anyone and everybody

424
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 3: in Indiana to provide mapping and analytics to make sure

425
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: they all become lobbyists by twenty twenty seven, because in

426
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: almost all cases, if you fail to fight the Democrats,

427
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 3: you're gonna get primary. But Susan Collins is an example

428
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 3: of those that if you primary her, you're going to

429
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 3: lose the seat. So what does that had to do

430
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 3: with the original question from Guber number thirty seven ninety three?

431
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 3: Do I see any emerging conservative or Republican leadership in Colorado?

432
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: No? I know that just made.

433
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 3: Every candidate, including somebod I know, personally pissed off. I'm

434
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: not convinced that a Republican can win the governor's seat

435
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: in Colorado because the Republican Party. Remember I said, I

436
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 3: have two things in my brain. I've got ideology over here,

437
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 3: those things that I believe in, those things that I want,

438
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 3: those things I want to obtain for the state of

439
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: Colorado and my prigmatist mind over here that says you

440
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 3: got to win first. In order to win first, you

441
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 3: have to attract the unaffiliated and a few, maybe not many,

442
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 3: but a few Democrats. Most Republican candidates don't know how

443
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: to fight for the center. They don't know how to

444
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 3: fight for the unaffiliated. They mean, how to talk to

445
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 3: the unaffiliated voters. And I certainly don't look to me

446
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: because I'm not very good at talking to unaffiliated voters.

447
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: Oh.

448
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: I can explain economics, I can explain the consequences, but

449
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure that I can do it to

450
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: get them to come over to my side. Instead, I

451
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 3: get I said this to somebody before the program started.

452
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 3: It drives me crazy. Did we focus solely on the

453
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 3: gubernatorial race? Why aren't you instead? I'm not picking on you,

454
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 3: thirty seven ninety three, but your text message gives me

455
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 3: an opportunity to say what I'm about to say.

456
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: After the break, Michael, girl, Dad, I have lost one

457
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 2: hundred degrees off my ambient temperature and return to the

458
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: last frontier where it is minus thirty or lower.

459
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 1: And can I just.

460
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 2: Appreciate something for a second here? The power runs. It

461
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: works I'm in my house. It's going to be on

462
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 2: all day. I have no concerns about how effective the

463
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: coal's going to be. Is this a good time to

464
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: ask how Colorado's power system is going? Why do you

465
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: live there?

466
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 3: Lived there? So as long as you're there, I'm going

467
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,239
Speaker 3: to be here. When you're here, I'll be there. How

468
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: about that? Don't call in here and bragging about how

469
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 3: you're still at home, the heats on, the powers working,

470
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: you're warm, you're comfortable. Yeah, bite my ass, just you know,

471
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 3: go away, go away?

472
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: Was that really him? Didn't sound like him?

473
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 4: No, I believe it's to be him.

474
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: Did you okay?

475
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 4: Even wondering why he believed he needed to say that

476
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 4: it was girl dead because it sounded like him.

477
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, well maybe because he said it was.

478
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: I immediately thought, yeah, you're lying to us like everybody else does.

479
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 3: So back to the question about are there any really Republicans?

480
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 3: Conservative Republicans? I think what you really mean that they

481
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 3: can win? Does meybody that I would endorse? You know,

482
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 3: let's focus. I haven't read it yet or watched it,

483
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: but apparently Caldera did something about we tent video. He

484
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 3: was either interviewing or was interviewed. I forget I don't

485
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 3: know which it was, and gosh, I hate to give

486
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: Calder any publicity, but I will in this case. He's

487
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 3: in drunken stupor, so you won't know anyway. He points

488
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 3: out that Colorado can be turned around, but it's going

489
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 3: to take hard work, and he's right about that. But

490
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 3: let me give you some practical Winning the governor's race

491
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 3: and still having the Democrats control the legislative branch is

492
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 3: not going to accomplish anything because the legislative branch, if

493
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 3: we got to go back to CIVICX one oh one,

494
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: that's where the laws are written. So if we're going

495
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 3: to gradually, because we're not going to win Coloro back

496
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 3: in one election cycle, it's not going to happen in

497
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, it's probably going to happen in twenty

498
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: twenty eight. But over time, if we work hard, we

499
00:28:56,560 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 3: can get Colorado back on track. Where people quit listening

500
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 3: to me because you don't want to you don't want

501
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 3: to do the hard work, and you don't want to

502
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 3: hear the truth. And the truth is this, I don't

503
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 3: give a rat task about the governor's seat. I care

504
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: more about getting control of either the Colorado as the

505
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 3: Colorado polit Bureau, either the House or the Senate, one

506
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 3: or the other. I want Republicans to have a majority

507
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: in one or the other so we can at least

508
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 3: stop the madness. The analogy I would draw is the

509
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,479
Speaker 3: same analogy that we had about illegal immigration.

510
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: Until you seal the border.

511
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 3: All this talk about comprehensive immigration reform was bullcrap, total bullcrap. Well,

512
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 3: the same is true about well we got elector Republican

513
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 3: governor in Colorado. Yeah, I'd love to have a Republican governor,

514
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: but you tell me, I want you to think about this.

515
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 3: What would a Republican governor be able to accomplish on

516
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 3: his own? Nothing? Because the legislature, as long as it's

517
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 3: control of the Democrat, that's where the bills are going

518
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 3: to originate, and they're gonna do what they want to do.

519
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 3: That's where the Marxists, that's where the socialists all resign.

520
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: That is the honey trap right there. So you've got

521
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: to recognize that you've got to swap that honey trap

522
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 3: and get control of at least half of it both houses. Oh,

523
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 3: that'd be a wet dream for me, but at least

524
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 3: get control of one or the other, get control of

525
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 3: the House, get control of the Senate, have a majority there.

526
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 3: So quit focusing on the governor's race and focus on

527
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 3: the cabal at the polyp Bureau. Once you get those

528
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:36,520
Speaker 3: Democrats out of there, you can at least stop the

529
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 3: madness from getting worse. And once you show the rest

530
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: of the state, oh, look, we've slowed down the madness.

531
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 3: We've stopped the madness, and now we can start turning

532
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: it back the other way. Then Now, I'm not saying,

533
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 3: don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't go vote

534
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 3: Republican for governor, because I certainly will whoever gets the nomination.

535
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 3: If Dragon Redber got the Republican nomination for governor for

536
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, I'd vote for him because my choices

537
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 3: right now are those those three amigos what's her name

538
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 3: the Secretary of State Jennet Griswold or Michael the dumbass

539
00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: Bennett or phil let Sue trump Wiser. No, I'm not

540
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 3: gonna vote for any of them under any circumstances. I'll

541
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 3: vote for my dog if they're the Republican nominee, because

542
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. No, I shouldn't say it doesn't matter completely,

543
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 3: but it's it's not the problem the problems with the legislature.

544
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 3: Just like if you have problems in your county like

545
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: we have in Douglas.

546
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 1: County, it's, well, guess what it is.

547
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 3: In Douglas County, it's the Republican County commissioners.

548
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: They're the problem. So it might be breake time, but

549
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: I'm on a roll here
