The guy who's 34 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: the one that he auto tunes his voice or something 35 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: and it's you're listening to the situation with my it's 36 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: all you. 37 00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 4: Know, that's his voice. Oh that is the radio I 38 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 4: have it labeled as radio voice, goober. 39 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 2: Oh so it is, oh radio voice, goober. But if 40 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: you want to auto tune it and make it sound 41 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: like that, that would be fine too. But you know, 42 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 2: the clock's ticking. We don't have a lot of time. 43 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: If you wait till the last minute, it ain't happening, 44 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 3: because I'm not waiting until the last minute. 45 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: I hope not, which would be a first for you, 46 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 2: But nonetheless, that would be good. Before I get started 47 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: into snap and food stamps, I watched a little bit 48 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: of the Broncos game against the Houston Texans or whatever 49 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: they call them. Yeah, Tim RAI both comment, and it 50 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 2: reminds us of the old Ou football team under Barry Switzer. Crappy, crappy, 51 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 2: crappy win. Yeah, crappy, crappy, crappy win.

Yeah, okay, 58 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: I just want to make sure that I didn't perceive 59 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 2: it incorrectly. 60 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 3: They are undefeated when losing at the beginning of the 61 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 3: fourth quarter. 62 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 4: That shows make that makes sense? 63 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 2: Well, that shows statistics can be made to do anything. 64 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 2: You can.

Because I noticed that, 90 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 2: and I've noticed it before, but I never really thought 91 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 2: about it impacting me, you know, but now since it's 92 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 2: always all about me, of course, now it's different. So 93 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: I had noticed before when I got in there to 94 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: you know, do a little, you know, talking about something 95 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: on the color out of morning News or Ross or 96 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: Mandy'd asked me to come in or you know, comment 97 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: about something. I noticed that everything is laid out incorrectly. 98 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 4: But it's new. 99 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: I'm not complaining about the newness. It's new, it's clean. 100 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,359 Speaker 2: It's uh. I even look down in the hole in 101 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 2: the middle. There's a piece of paper that's falling down 102 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: to that. You know, it's the start. It's the start 103 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 2: of the of the trash bin in the middle of 104 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 2: the console. But I noticed that everything's laid out back 105 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 2: assword just. 106 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 4: A little different. 107 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: No, it's not just a little different. It's back assword. 108 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 2: I know you don't want to say that because you 109 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: don't want to get in trouble, but I'll just say 110 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 2: it's back assword. And if corporate designed that, it shows 111 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 2: me the corporate has never done a talk show in 112 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: their entire life. 113 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 3: It is definitely not laid out as if somebody like 114 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 3: your I would have laid it out right. 115 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: So what I'm going to figure out is I got 116 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: to get in there as soon as Kaminski finishes, because 117 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: I've got to move the I mean, there's there's only 118 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 2: one monitor helpful. I can put next Gin up, I 119 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: can make two windows, but like for Drudge to see 120 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: what you know the breaking news is, or we're doing 121 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 2: taxplay relief shots, I will not. And by the way, 122 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: it is the old Adobe audition, I won't be able 123 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: to have a full screen, so it's gonna be hard 124 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 2: to read the entire titles because the screen is only 125 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: half the size of because I need unless we change 126 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: our routine somehow where you have to tell me, let's 127 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 2: see what's our what's our first spot today? We got 128 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 2: coming up sound relief, So you're gonna have to tell 129 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: me sound reliefing, and you're gonna to say go because 130 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,840 Speaker 2: otherwise I won't be able to see it. And otherwise 131 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 2: you know this. This is why we're so smooth, is 132 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 2: because I have next Gym up and I know how 133 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 2: to use next Gen. So there's that problem. So I'll 134 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 2: have to move the monitor up, and then I've gotta 135 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 2: lay the keyboard sideways over here to my right. And 136 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 2: the only reason I have to do or can do that, 137 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 2: is because all of the buttons I need are awkwardly placed, 138 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 2: not at an angle where you can just reach to it, 139 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 2: but where you have to put your elbow up and 140 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: create a right angle with your elbow and your forearm 141 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: so that you can then reach the buttons. 142 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: Of course, it is as right now here in this studio, 143 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 3: a right handed person conveniently located the mic on and 144 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 3: off in the next event button. 145 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 4: Is to your right. Yes, so gee, that's it. 146 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 3: The majority of the population of the world is right handed, 147 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 3: so that makes a lot of sense right until you 148 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: get over to ka. 149 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 2: But even if they were thinking, oh, let's you know, 150 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: let's be DEI make sure that all the left handed 151 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 2: people will be higher that they haven't left handed. It's 152 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 2: still perpendicular, it's not at an angle, so you can't 153 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: just put your hand over. You can't just naturally put 154 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 2: your hand over and hit next button. The other thing 155 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: I've discovered is there's only one next event button. 156 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, you only have one next event button over there? 157 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 2: Do none of the others have next event? 158 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 4: Correct? 159 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 2: Oh? I didn't realize that. Okay, so you, but I 160 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 2: thought originally they were going to put the number one 161 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 2: spot or they still do this. Correct, The number one 162 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: is still over in the corner. 163 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:54,559 Speaker 4: Correct. 164 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 3: The number one spot is by the window, not the glass. 165 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 3: That it's the lobby, but by by the window window 166 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 3: to the outside, and that had the next event button. 167 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 3: But in order to move it to the number three 168 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 3: position where all the hosts like to sit so that 169 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 3: they can face the producer and we can have that 170 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 3: non verbal communication that you do to to do a 171 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: really good show. So then they had to put the 172 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: button there and remove it from the other position. 173 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: And they don't have to put my angle. So now 174 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 2: normally I can't sit at an angle looking somewhat to 175 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 2: my left anyway, So that's that will remain the same. 176 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 2: So there's that, except that it's all going to be 177 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 2: scrunched up now, and there's you know, my diet coach 178 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 2: will be way down over here on the corner somewhere. 179 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: I don't haven't. I forgot where to put that. But 180 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 2: then I'm most concerned about my spot spot book, my 181 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 2: spot book. I have no clue where that's going to go. 182 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 2: I guess it'll just kind of lay over here and all. 183 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: I mean, you can put it on the floor. How 184 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 4: good are your glasses? 185 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: Do you think you can read from you know, the 186 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 3: script from the floor. 187 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:03,319 Speaker 2: No, I I need binoculars. Binoculars they don't have to 188 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: lean over too and flip the pages, which means I'd 189 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: probably fall out of the chair once or twice. Because 190 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 2: it's the taller chair. That'd be great. So wouldn't that 191 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,319 Speaker 2: be fantastic? So I won't be able to I mean, 192 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:14,719 Speaker 2: I could fall out the chair, or I could just 193 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 2: read them from the floor. 194 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 4: Hey, somebody brought in the new chairs over here. 195 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 2: Who somebody's gonna be in trouble. 196 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the new white chairs. What are they 197 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 4: doing in here? 198 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: They're not the tall ones, are they? 199 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: I don't think so, because there's only like four tall 200 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: ones and I've got one, and I've got I've got 201 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 3: the only one that actually works. 202 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 2: Yes, and if I could find, if I could find 203 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 2: the plastic arm rest for the element, I would actually 204 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: repair it myself. 205 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 4: They broke and they threw them away. 206 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 3: I know, I know, tried to do some gaffers tape 207 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 3: to put them back together on some of them, you'll see, 208 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 3: but it didn't work. 209 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 2: I mean, what they pay twelve ninety nine for the 210 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 2: chairs probably probably not even that much. Okay, Well, anyway, 211 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 2: so it's gonna be interesting. 212 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 3: The grass is always green, the studio is cleaner, and 213 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 3: I got five TVs over there's one, two, three, four 214 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: four TVs over there. 215 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna there may be a little issue there 216 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 2: because it's channel nine and CNN. 217 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 4: There's remote, you can change the channel. 218 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: Well, I know, I found the remote, and I'll be 219 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 2: changing the channels. It'll be I still want CNN or MSNBC. 220 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: I still want to see what the liberal side is saying, 221 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: and then I want Fox. Don't care about what the 222 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: local channels are doing unless there's breaking local news and 223 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 2: then we can flip the channel. But what happened to 224 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: the vertical monitor. It doesn't seem to be working. 225 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 3: That's supposed to be the Twitter monitor, like the tweet 226 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: deck or whatever. So it's got the Koa Twitter, it's 227 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 3: got the talent Twitter and another talent Twitter or something 228 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: along those adelines. But did that I don't know. I 229 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 3: don't spend time in there, So it hasn't been working 230 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 3: for a while. 231 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 2: Well, I don't know whether it's working for a while 232 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 2: or not. But I couldn't get it. I couldn't get 233 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: to do anything. So but that's not saying anything just 234 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: because I couldn't get to do it. 235 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 3: Wait a minute, are you saying something in the studio 236 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 3: doesn't work weird. 237 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 2: Could be it's a shock or isn't it? Now? I 238 00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: do go I do go into the control room every 239 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 2: Saturday because I've got to flip off to get the 240 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 2: access to turn it on for LA push a button. Yeah, 241 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: I got to push a button. But I did notice 242 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: Saturday that I just kind of observed instead of just 243 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: walking in, flipping it and getting out of there. Compared 244 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 2: to that rat's nest that you live in, that's pretty 245 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: darn need over. 246 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 4: There, it's just smart. 247 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 3: There's there's a lot less there's no upper counter stuff, 248 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 3: and there's nothing there's the eas monitor is actually down 249 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 3: below versus up top, so it's still the same amount 250 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 3: of crap. 251 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 4: It's just organized a little better over there. 252 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and you don't have like there's not a 253 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 2: bulletin board that's got schedules from eight months ago stuck 254 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 2: to it and whatever that other stuff is that Is 255 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 2: that a picture of me up there on that. 256 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 4: Bullet No, No, that's Biden checking his watch. 257 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: Biden checking his watch. Okay, well we can put a 258 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: picture of me up in the other control room. 259 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 4: We still had a picture of here. 260 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 2: There's a picture of Rothson there. See, I don't come 261 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 2: in there because it's so dark in there. I feel 262 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 2: like I'm walking into slight. 263 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: Some it needs to be dark because I need to 264 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 3: see the lights on the control board. 265 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: No, all right, whatever, whatever. I did an interesting thing 266 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 2: over the weekend, uh partly in prep for the Saturday program, 267 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 2: but then I wanted to do it for this morning's 268 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 2: program too, And that is, how much does the State 269 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: of Colorado distribute in SNAP supplement supplemental nutritional whatever it 270 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 2: is program and the Wick Women and Children Program? And 271 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 2: of that total amount, how much goes to NGOs who 272 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: actually do the certification for things like qualifying people to 273 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 2: receive SNAP or WICK funds, Who administers those funds, who 274 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 2: distributes those funds? And then how much do we spend 275 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 2: on those funds? And I did that, plus I did 276 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 2: it for another topic. And I find that it seems 277 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 2: to me that for all the talk about transparency and 278 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: showing people, you know, we want to be fully transparent 279 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: about what we're doing and spending money on and YadA, YadA, YadA, YadA, no, 280 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 2: they don't really do that whatsoever. They don't want you 281 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 2: to know how much they're spending or what they're spending 282 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:25,080 Speaker 2: it on. And I find that really kind of let's 283 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: just put it this way. It makes me suspicious. But 284 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: before let's do this, let's walk through what I found 285 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: out about SNAP. So, the state of Colorado distributes about 286 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 2: I find this number astonishing, about one hundred and twenty 287 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 2: million dollars per month in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program moneies 288 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: that reaches or touches or gets distributed to about six 289 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: hundred thousand Colorads every single month. That is approximately ten percent. Now, 290 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: depending what numbers you use, we're either at five point 291 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 2: seven five point eight million, or we have probably exceeded 292 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 2: six million. Either way, it's slightly more than ten percent 293 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: or it's just under ten percent, depending on what today's 294 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 2: population is. For the Women in Infant and Children Nutrition Program, 295 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 2: our annual shares about eighty eight million dollars. And then 296 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 2: we have state emergency funds that cover seven and a 297 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: half million dollars for one month. That's what they authorized 298 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 2: over the weekend or Friday whenever. It was seven point 299 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 2: five million dollars. So for a state that is already 300 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 2: in the hole, that has a big, big asshole in 301 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: our budget, they've allocated seven point five million dollars amid 302 00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 2: these so called federal disruptions. Million dollars in emergency state 303 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 2: funds allocated because of the shutdown is funneled through something 304 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: called the Community Food Assistance Grant Program. But interestingly, that 305 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: program is administered by something called the Trailhead Institute. Keep 306 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 2: that in mind. We'll get to the Trailhead Institute in 307 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 2: just a minute. So the money is then distributed directly 308 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 2: to food banks and pantries, which act as the main 309 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: inngos responsible for qualifying beneficiaries, administering and distributing foods resources. 310 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: I found that over on Denver seven now the major 311 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 2: beneficiaries of these funds include Feeding Colorado and all of 312 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 2: its network partners such as Care and Share, Food Bank, 313 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: Community Food Share, Food Bank for Larimer County for example, 314 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 2: food Bank of the Rockies, the Weld County Food Bank. 315 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 2: All of that, according to the Denver Gazette for Wi 316 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: Women and Children. While Colorado's Department of Public Health and 317 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: Environment oversees eligibility and benefit administration, local WICC clinics and 318 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: community partners are directly involved in the certification, the administration, 319 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: and the distribution of those money. That's all according to 320 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 2: the records of the Colorado PubL up bureau. So in 321 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 2: summer you got SNAP and WICK. One hundred and twenty 322 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: million dollars for SNAP, about eighty eight million dollars a 323 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 2: year for WICK, So slightly over two hundred million dollars. Well, 324 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, one hundred hundred twenty million a month for SNAP, 325 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: eighty eight million dollars a year for WICK. Now, the 326 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 2: vast majority of the SNAP and the WICK funds are 327 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 2: ultimately distributed to the recipients, with all of the administrative 328 00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 2: and its certification costs and the certification rolls handled by 329 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 2: the NGOs, And of course there's some local government clinics 330 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: that do it too.

Nobody, nobody, 454 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 2: nobody has a sense of humor. Nobody gets the joke. 455 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 2: Nobody gets that, you. 456 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 4: Know, So for trigger treated, you guys didn't really get. 457 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 2: Any Okay, all right, I'm only telling the story objectively 458 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: because you asked for it. 459 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 4: Uh huh. 460 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 2: So Tamra doesn't want First of all, we get very 461 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 2: few kids, and she the dogs will We have our 462 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 2: dogs fairly well trained. They're not trained to not bark 463 00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 2: when someone rings the doorbell. 464 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 4: Well that's their thing, yes, thing. 465 00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 2: And in fact, we would prefer that they do bark 466 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: if somebody comes, you know, kind of tap taps on 467 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 2: the door, like to see if anybody's here, kind of thing. 468 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 2: We want to know somebody's there so I can look 469 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 2: on the ring and see what's going on. Well, she 470 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 2: doesn't like that because all three you got the and 471 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 2: then you got the so you got kind of like 472 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 2: a cape iny of dog barking. So she decided to take 473 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 2: a salad bowl, a big, big ass salad bowl, put 474 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,640 Speaker 2: dump all the candy in it, and put it out 475 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 2: on not on the porch next to the door, but 476 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 2: kind of out where the sidewalk kind of brings you. 477 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 4: To the meats up for the driveway. 478 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then she asked me as we were leaving 479 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 2: for dinner, turn the porch light off. It's automatic, so 480 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 2: i'd go over and, you know, turn it off. So 481 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 2: I turned it off, and I made the mistake of 482 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,800 Speaker 2: saying I thought porch lights would indicate that you don't 483 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 2: want trigger treaters or that you're. 484 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 3: Not Yes, if the porch lights are off, you're not 485 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,240 Speaker 3: supposed to go to that house. 486 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 2: Right, So if people are walking along the sidewalk and 487 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: the porch lights off and it's dark, they're not going 488 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: to see this dark wooden bowl sitting over here on 489 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 2: the current porch. Yeah, And she gets mad at me, 490 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,679 Speaker 2: thinking that I'm making fun of her arguing and I'm not. 491 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,640 Speaker 2: I'm trying to be rationally. If you want to get 492 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 2: rid of the candy, I don't think it's going to 493 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 2: get rid of the candy. 494 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 4: Correct. 495 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. So they come back from that, we had to 496 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 2: do an early dinner because our friends who liked to 497 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 2: dress up for Halloween, I guess or whatever, they wouldn't 498 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,919 Speaker 2: have a really early dinner. So we went. 499 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 3: And it's a Friday night for a Halloween, so yeah, 500 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 3: you've got to get out and go party, right. 501 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 2: So we get back to the house, and I walk 502 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 2: around to check the ball, because I'm assuming that one 503 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 2: person came by, one teenager came by, saw a bowl, 504 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 2: nobody looking around, and just dumped it all in the 505 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 2: sack and walked off. In fact, I expected the bowl 506 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 2: itself to be gone. Nothing. The bowl and all of 507 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 2: the candy. 508 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 3: Is still there, yep, because he had the lights off, right. 509 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 2: Right, So anyway, it's it wasn't that much, but there 510 00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:58,919 Speaker 2: is a bag of it out in the in the 511 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 2: jeep that I was going to put on my desk 512 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,920 Speaker 2: this morning, because you know that it would be gone 513 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 2: in three minutes, two minutes. 514 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 3: What do you think The chocolate would be gone pretty quickly, 515 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: the fruity flavored candy second, and then the. 516 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 2: Hard Snickers a week well, let's just say there may 517 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 2: I may not many Snickers left, Twigs, Snickers regular M 518 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:18,879 Speaker 2: and MS, peanut. 519 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 4: M and MS, twigs you say yes. 520 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 2: And something else. I thought there were five varieties. I 521 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 2: don't remember, but it needs to get out of my 522 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: car because it's dwindling. It's dwindling. I was. 523 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 3: I was personally pleasantly surprised with how many kids had 524 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 3: showed up to uh my house in the neighborhood. It's 525 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,360 Speaker 3: been dwindling down for years and years, and I think 526 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 3: last year maybe two or three groups of kids and 527 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 3: that was it. But this year, I'd say almost a 528 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 3: dozen groups of kids groups of kids, and then the 529 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 3: last two groups I'd say were mid to upper teenagers, 530 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 3: which I personally find absolutely fantastic. I am aok with 531 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 3: the upper teenagers going out and trigger treating. You're doing 532 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 3: something kind and sweethearted rather than going out and doing 533 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 3: something rambunctious and causing trouble. So I will gladly give 534 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 3: teenagers candy on Halloween if they put forth some effort 535 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 3: to go trigger treating and dress up. I've got no 536 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,879 Speaker 3: problem with that whatsoever. He still had a bunch of 537 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,119 Speaker 3: candy left over. When these two big groups of teenagers 538 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 3: come by, and the kids super polite, you know, they 539 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 3: say trick or treaty. I hand the bowl and so 540 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 3: they can grab whichever one's they like. So he picks 541 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 3: up one and goes, ah, I like just one, and 542 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,959 Speaker 3: he goes can I have more than one? And I go, 543 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 3: you can have no more than seven? And he freees 544 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 3: eyes get all big missus. Redbeard behind me starts laughing. 545 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 3: Her ass off because she thinks that's hilarious. And I'm 546 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 3: just trying to get rid of candy at this point 547 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,560 Speaker 3: because it's in eight thirty or so, it's getting late 548 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 3: for Halloween and trigger treating. So the kid goes, you're serious, 549 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 3: it's like very So he just grabbed a big old 550 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 3: handful puts. 551 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 2: In his bag. 552 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,479 Speaker 3: The next kids come up do the same kind of thing. 553 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,920 Speaker 3: Was It was fantastic. I love Halloween, love the trick 554 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 3: or treaders, love the kids, and the costumes great. 555 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 2: I think in our neighborhood it's that it's it's aging 556 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 2: in our neighborhood. Duh, it's aging. The family across the 557 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: street that has kids were gone. I think they went 558 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: somewhere else. And then the other family that's just on 559 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 2: the other side of us, I think they they they 560 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 2: they're going to sell their house, but they've already moved 561 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 2: into another house, which is a few miles away because 562 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 2: their mother, the mother and mother in law are now 563 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 2: living with them, so they've they've abandoned that house. So 564 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 2: I figured at some point I'll just I'm thinking about 565 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 2: just starting to squat in it, just become a squatter 566 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 2: because they had they recently had it completely redone. So 567 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 2: I'm thinking I'll just build squat in the it sell 568 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 2: mine and then they can't get you know, they won't 569 00:28:59,360 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: be able to remove me. 570 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 4: True. 571 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, So anyway, uh, snap, after this. 572 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 1: Michael, if you're going to prime the pump for your 573 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 1: GoFundMe jar, make sure you put pennies in it. 574 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: I hear they're discontinued the penny, of course, and. 575 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 4: So it might become even more valuable at some point. 576 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 5: I don't know. 577 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: Well, I would only prime the pump with pennies here, 578 00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 2: because these are all radio people. They're all cheap asses. 579 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 2: So I wouldn't you know, if I put a dollar 580 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 2: bill in there, somebody would take the dollar bill. It 581 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 2: was not like somebody go, oh, I think you will 582 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 2: put a dollar into you know, they would take the 583 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 2: dollar bill. So there's there's a there's a certain you know, 584 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,360 Speaker 2: you got to you have to understand exactly how far 585 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 2: you can go with these things, and I understand that 586 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 2: in radio land you can't go very far. The Trailhead 587 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 2: Institute is kind of some morphous, really hard to find 588 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 2: information about it. I mean, you can go to their 589 00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 2: website and you can read about and you know, who 590 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 2: the board of directors are and the executive director and 591 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 2: all of that. But to say that they have very 592 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: specific ties to the Democrat politbureau. They have very specific 593 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 2: ties in fact, come from the revolving door, having, for example, 594 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 2: the head of it, Michelle shimam Mira something like that. 595 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 2: She used to work at the call of Department of 596 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 2: Public Health and Environment. She's directly connected to the state 597 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 2: agency funding streams, all the public health workforce strategies and 598 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 2: the implementation of the public state public health initiatives as 599 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,160 Speaker 2: all the others. So again it's the revolving door of 600 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 2: let's appropriate the money, give it to our friends, and 601 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 2: our friends will then figure out who qualifies and doesn't 602 00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 2: qualify and pass it out. And we're talking about hundreds 603 00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 2: of millions of dollars. Then we get to the coupdi 604 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 2: gross that really bugs me, and that is that Democrats 605 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 2: are now screaming about children are litally I mean, I 606 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 2: guess babies and children now have distended stomachs, you know, 607 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:11,560 Speaker 2: like you might see you know on a you know, 608 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 2: feed the Children out of Africa or something, that babies 609 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 2: are dying, that people are absolutely starving to death. There 610 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 2: is I don't have a stat in front of me, 611 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 2: but you can. Again, I know you can manipulate statistics, 612 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 2: but the average person on snap or Wick has an 613 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,760 Speaker 2: average weight that is higher than the average American. You 614 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 2: can draw from that whatever conclusion you want, but it 615 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 2: doesn't surprise me considering that most of those recipients tend 616 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 2: to buy junk food and they don't really eat nutritious stuff. 617 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 2: You've seen the videos and you've heard the videos that 618 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 2: we've played over the past week about you know, you know, 619 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 2: my kids need their you know, they need their snacks 620 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 2: and they need their blah blah blah blah whatever. Well 621 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 2: that's what they're doing. But then last Friday, Katie VR 622 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 2: on the evening news program ran a story about a 623 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 2: butcher shop up in Fort Collins where, you know how, 624 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 2: I argue and I sincerely believe that we as a 625 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:23,120 Speaker 2: nation have abdicated our compassion to the federal government. He 626 00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:29,080 Speaker 2: actually says that none of those exact words, but he 627 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 2: complains about the fact that he is doing what we 628 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 2: should all be doing, but he doesn't think we should 629 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 2: be doing that. He thinks the federal government is responsible 630 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 2: for feeding hungry people in this country. That's how far 631 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 2: off the beaten path we've gotten in terms of how 632 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,680 Speaker 2: this republic should operate. I want you to hear that 633 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,600 Speaker 2: after the news at the top of the hour, and 634 00:32:55,680 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 2: then we'll go on to the next tip, don't go away.
