Tick, tack, toe. A winner. Thanks, Nancy. Yeah, okay, coming up at 1215. I have a woman named Corey Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. I've never spoken with her before. And I've been following her work for some time. And I need to clarify a couple of things that are about to happen today. Victor Marks was on the Peter Boyle show on Saturday. And Victor spent an hour with Pete. Now, um... Pete was very, very aggressive, but not in, well, that's the wrong word. Aggressive is not. He was very dogged, dogged in asking Victor specifically about several things that are part of Victor's story, the history of Victor Marks that he loves to talk about. He loves to talk about that. He does not talk about what he's going to, you know, policy positions. God know. He only talks about the story. And there are parts of his story that are beyond belief. And Peter asked him about these things. Now, there was some criticism, and I've seen it on my Facebook page where people are like, why did you ask him about policy positions? But Pete drove home a very old adage. If he's going to lie about this, what else is he going to lie about? So Corey Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been doing the work that I was talking to a friend this morning, and I said, where is the news media in investigating this guy?

No one from any newspaper is doing a deep dive on the most interesting man alive. No one is trying to find out if any of this stuff is true. Well, Corey Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been fact-checking the stuff that Victor Mark said in this interview. And we are going to just let Victor's words speak for themselves. Because the big knock here is that, number one, I'm impolite. You guys, I think I'm going to have a shirt made. Should I have a shirt made? The impolite, you know, women's society. I mean, should I? I should, should not. I should. I think I will. Whole line of shirts. You guys can buy one too. But the notion that somehow Victor Marx is above answering questions from people who may ask him challenging questions, other than questions like, how'd you get to be so awesome? You're so awesome that he's asked on other radio stations. The reality is that there's so much about Victor Marx's carefully constructed story that is easy to knock down. And Corey has been knocking it down. One claim after the other, after the other, after the other. And in Peter's interview, he concentrated on three things. He concentrated on Victor's martial arts background. And you might be thinking to yourself, why in the world does that matter? Well, it should matter when someone sort of makes something a major plank in their personality that they then present to people in order to give themselves gravitas in a situation, to prove their bona fides, right? And as this high-risk humanitarian, you have to believe that they are indeed a dangerous gentleman, right? But what if it's just made up? What if it's not real? What if the seventh degree black belts that he's been claiming are in a form of karate that his father created that no one seems to know the standard of how you become a black belt in the first place? These things are all part of the bigger fabrication that is Victor Marx. Here are the things I find the most interesting about Victor Marx in his story. Number one, wherever the man goes, he has a camera crew. I've interviewed in my talk radio career, I don't even know how many people who have been in harm's way doing work from charitable organizations that run orphanages in the middle of Africa in war-torn Africa, not just in normal Africa. I mean, I've spoken to these people. None of them walk around with a camera crew. None of them. And yet he loves to say, I can't give you too many details about the high-risk humanitarian stuff because it's secret. It's so dangerous. But there's a camera crew there. That's one thing. Then there are all of the various claims that have been made. And this one, when I heard him say this on the Sean Ryan show about how he killed a man when he was seven years old because his stepfather forced him to. Now, I do want to be clear, there's no doubt in my mind that he suffered terrible abuse at the hands of his stepfather. And psychologically, that has taken a tremendous toll on him as it would any of us, right? And in my view, Victor Marks is a very, broken man who has created a persona around himself as a protectionist measure for his own psyche. I really believe he believes his own crap. I really believe that. You know, George Costan's always said it's not a lie if you believe it, right? Sorry, I just threw another write-in. It's only 1212, and I'm already going to get another text message.

But the reality is that you can create a persona, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's true. Now, one of the things that jumped out on me, I went back and I talked about this when I first watched it. I watched the movie that Victor Marks and Eileen Marks made about Victor Marks in 2012. They made a documentary about Victor. Now, that in and of itself raises red flags for me. Do you remember John Kerry? When he was running for president and all of a sudden these videos of him storming the beaches in Vietnam when he was back when he was a soldier and he's running up the beach with a gun and it just looked and you're like, wow, that's amazing. He actually had a buddy film those of himself, right? Why do you do that? Why do you commission a documentary about yourself? Guys, I've been trying to write. I've been asked to write a book because I will be the first to admit. I think my life has been amazing. Not necessarily. I'm not saying I'm the most talented or smartest, but I've had this incredible life because of radio. I've been asked to write a book and my ego is like, why in the world would I write a book about myself? He commissioned and paid for a movie about himself. In that movie, he's talking about his stepfather. And he said the thing about his stepfather was that his stepfather was always using a lie that was based in truth. And as soon as I heard him say that in that documentary, I'm like, huh? Interesting. Really, really interesting. Because what happens is you take a kernel of truth, a part that is verifiable through whatever means, and then you create the persona and the story that goes around it. And that is a huge part of the problem, is that we don't know who this man actually is. So Cory Robert F. Kennedy Jr., for a reason I'll let her explain, has been fact-checking everything that Victor Marx has said. And she's been sharing it with a lot of people. And now she has people reaching out and saying, hey, you know, we made a donation and we regret it. I'm not here to just attack Victor Marks for the sake of attacking Victor Marks. I think he would be an absolute disaster. as the candidate. I think he would drag down the rest of the ticket. I think that we, Corey Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will not be the only one. You know what? I'm wondering, she won't be, I want to, she is not in our meeting yet. Oh, she is. Oh, perfect. I can't see her. Hang on. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and bring her on. I'm sorry, Corey. I'm sitting her vamping, waiting for Corey to join the meeting because I had it on the wrong screen. I could not see that she was clearly in the meeting. Corey, first of all, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thank you very much for having me, Mandy. You can hear me okay? I can hear you perfectly. So let me start at the very beginning. How did you become the best investigative reporter in Colorado when it comes to Victor Marks? Where did this come from? Well, thank you very much for that introduction. It started with, admittedly, I was really in the Marx camp early on, and I had been, I went to the Brave Church.

charlie kirk vigil on september 14th down in anglewood and victor marks came on stage and you know he says what he says you know he's a hero and he saved thousands of rescued you know 45 46,000 people and he was you know a mentor to Charlie Kirk and considering there was two things that went through my head at the time one was this is kind of tasteless that you're promoting a you know, gubernatorial run, this kind of self-launching it at the vigil. But there was the other part of me, it was like, oh my gosh, maybe this is the hero Colorado needs. And I was very, very grief-stricken. I was like a lot of people who were grief-stricken by Charlie Kirk's assassination. And so it just kind of fell right in line with it. And my husband left the, the vigil basically saying, why can't this guy talk right? You know, and you know, that's kind of a red flag. I was like, oh, that's okay. That's okay. And so we went down to even the boot barn for his announcement. And I was all for it. I thought this was just, you know, this is what Colorado needed. But then once the grief started to subside or maybe it just, maybe I just absorbed it more and accepted it for what it was, I started to think, you know, he did say he was. And just so you know, I. got all of our friends on board. Oh, my God, he's the greatest. And, you know, and people listen to me and they donated maximum amounts. And so I started to kind of think about that, like, okay, I'm really doing a good job of getting people to rally for this guy. I need to make sure that he is who he says he is. And the first thing I did was just search. was Victor Marks a mentor to Charlie Kirk? You know, just a really simple search. And nothing, nothing anywhere, nothing anywhere. It was just very, you know, you have Bill Montgomery, you have Dennis Prager, you know, you have Frank Turek, you have all these people and know Victor Marx. And then kind of logic started setting in with me. I'm like, okay, these are not people who I would put in the same. you know, I would not put Victor Marx in the same category as these people. No matter how you feel about them and their, you know, their, you know, theology, you, I just would not put Victor Marks now. So then I started to think more about it, like, okay, I'm not finding anything here. So I just started posting in all the Facebook groups I joined, you know, Victor Marks this, Victor Marks that, and said,

you know politely can someone guide me to the place that would show me a link something that anything that victor marks was Charlie, or excuse me, Victor Marks was Charlie Kirk's mentor. And instead of them responding with, say, a link or a connection, I would just get blocked. Like I just had no longer, no longer had access to these pages. And I thought, okay, that is really strange. So I would just ask, it was just one right after the other. So then I started to get just suspicious, why this is just such an easy question. Here we are. Now we are so far down the rabbit hole that, you know, basically I started my first piece was just who Victor Marx really was based on, you know, it was a simple search of who's Vaughn Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Right. Yeah. Let's start there. Who's Von Robert F. Kennedy Jr.? Then it started, then I went from there. Then. Then I was given a tip on his mom, Rita Boyette, and who she was married to. And I was given the G. I was given a tip of she was married to someone named G.D. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. And I was like, oh, I wonder if this is, you know, the timeline kind of fit with who Mr. K was. And so I just searched. And that was probably my most in-depth search is finding out who G.D. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was. And when I found it. Gloyce Dean Robert F. Kennedy Jr., that was when everything unraveled, because Gloist Dean Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who he refers to as Mr. K., which I've now resolved, the reason he refers to him as Mr. K., is because Gloyce, Dean Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is there's only one in the whole world. And Gloist Dean Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was indicted and convicted for international drug smuggling between... Jamaica and you know Alabama and so So here we go. Now we have an understanding why he won't say his name, and it's just some made-up Mr. Kay. Of course, he's deceased, so there's no way of really confirming anything. So that, it just kind of went from there. Let me ask you, because you've pulled on many, many threads, and is there anything that you have seen that Victor has said or stated that you decided to investigate that you found out like, oh, great, that's perfectly factual? Because my assertion is, is that he takes... a nugget of truth and then he creates something around it right so there's enough truth there to you say oh look there but then there's this other all this other stuff that kind of gets started after that

Yes. So the Nuggets of Truth I have found. So his DD-214, I didn't, I was like, you know, he produced it. Who knows, this is a made-up document. And so I went ahead and pulled the National Archives. I pulled his military record. And it is accurate. His DD-214, I would say. you know, thumbs up legit. However, what it does also indicate, because he talks about combat duty that he had during this time as a Marine, his DD-214, the piece of paper, he himself turned in, you know, I had it analyzed, I had. folks within the who had done real time and knew how to read a DD-214 basically confirm he was stateside for his entire duty his entire term it was basic if I remember it was like two years 11 months and 28 days so just short of three years it was during Reagan's peacetime you know there was no combat he did not He had some, I think he had some arms training or marksmanship training. But he was really just like a radio calm guy for, you know, like think radar in MASH. And that was it. And so I couldn't understand. And he had not been thrown in the brig. You know, he talked about that. He's been thrown in the brig and he went AWOL and all this stuff. No. I don't understand why he can't just hang his hat and be proud of the service he did. He didn't get kicked out. He didn't, you know, he was a reservist for a couple years after it even. And so I didn't, I didn't understand why. So there is that nugget of truth. He did serve. To your point. There is that negative truth. To your point, Corey. This is my theory. This is my dime store analysis of Victor. He did suffer terrible abuse as a child, and he has been overcompensating ever since. So whatever he does, he has to elaborate. He has to exaggerate. He has to make it bigger than it already is because in his own mind, whatever he does is not good enough. I mean, this is honestly my psychological breakdown of the man. But that's where the nugget of truth comes from, and then it becomes a big thing. Now, Corey, you went through the interview with Peter Boyles and Victor Marks from last Saturday, and you piece by piece took apart Victor's answers. And I want to do this. I want to take a break. I want to come back. We're going to start and just tick down lie number one, lie number two. We may not get through all of them, but I think it's really important because these are Victor's own words.

These are not speculation. This is a conversation between Victor and Peter. And this is, I mean, in my mind, it's very interesting to hear him try to use a charm offensive on Peter. That is exactly what he did. Started out complimenting him. It's, I mean... For those of us that understand this kind of behavior, it's shocking to me that everybody can't see it, right? Corey Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s with me. We're going to be back. We're going to be back right after this. Keep it on, K-O-A.

I say article, and we were actually talking about this off the air. Corey documents everything. If you want to know where she got her information, it is in this. And she goes, yeah, some people said I provide too much details. I'm like, you know what? In my mind, more documentation, more links, more everything is better because it makes it harder for the people that are taking to the text line right now who are mad that we're talking about bad about Victor Marks. But the reality is this. To the text who said, why are you giving so much airtime discussing Victor Marks? He won't win anyway. So just let him disappear. He's a clown and doesn't deserve your... signal time if he wins the primary and then the news media knives come out because I'm telling you right now the Democrats have an opposition folder on him that is probably a foot thick and all of it will come out as soon as he's the nominee or maybe in October right before the ballots drop but it will come out and he will drag down the rest of the Republican ticket with him. And we cannot allow Jana Jena Griswold to become Attorney General because we have a bad candidate at the top of the ticket. That's legitimately what we're doing here. Now, I want to start by playing a little snippet of my friend Peter from last Saturday's show when Pete got a chance to sit down with Victor and I did a bad job getting this to the right place. So bear with me as they talk about karate specifically. To make it proof. So you have claimed a seventh degree black belt in jihisuit.

A seven degree in karate and something called a fifth degree in weapons. I'm stumped. I don't know. I mean, with respect, that's a lot. Yeah. Well, let's back up, first of all, one of an incredible... Oh, wait. I'm just going to play that for a second. Richard you have. Look, this is this tournament. But you have to have it. The man is out there. He tries to take Peter off his game. With the man, what a pedigree you've got. I mean, it's fascinating. Well, Corey, let's talk about that for a second because the truth comes out a little bit later in the interview where he admits he does not have a seventh-degree black belt in jujitsu or karate or anything else. He has a seventh-degree black belt that was given to him by his dad. What did you find out about his dad's martial art? Well, his dad's martial arts is basically, you know, kind of its own, you know, I want to say comedy routine, but really what it is is his dad basically declared certain facets of the martial arts that are not through the regime or the discipline itself. And so his dad, I mean, To a certain extent, I could see how a son might be enamored by his dad's skill set or whatever. But at some point in time, when you become an adult, you're going to have to look at it and say, Okay, my dad made this up and there's a regime. There's a very strict protocol in what you have to do to become, you need to name the master and then the master behind them. And again, keep in mind, my research on this martial arts is very limited to this. And so when I started to go down this path, I could not believe how made up and phony this is. Now, like I said, I understand as a son, you might be like, oh, my dad, my hero, but there's going to come a point in time where you are putting it on your resume and your, you know, your ministry and your website and your campaign literature that you might want to double check and make sure that these things aren't true. And your dad may have not just been, you know, BSing you. Yeah. And he has, and he has not done now. Well, Peter gave him a chance to walk back from it. And this is actually my favorite part of the interview where Peter asked him specifically about a gentleman who is well known in karate circles. Robert Trias, listen to this. Did you know his daughter? Of course. What was her name? Kathy? Roberta. Oh, Roberta. My gosh. Oh, my gosh. I just forgot. I just forgot. Right. The other non-existent daughter, right, because I even, I even double-checked that to make sure that there was not another daughter, Kathy, you know? Yeah, no. Because you could get away, no, there's no other daughter, Kathy. And then Trias, which I learned, was almost.

a lot like Victor himself and even his dad, which was just kind of this smoking mirrors, making stuff up, kind of wing it as you go, branding, and trying to adopt, I think it was kind of the American version of karate. Well, let's jump ahead because we have to take another break and then we're going to run out of time, but I want to get this in. One of the craziest things that Victor Mark says to me, in my opinion, is that when he was seven, his stepfather made him kill a man somewhere in Mississippi in a cabin in the woods and his stepfather made him pull the trigger and kill him and that he lorded that over him to keep him silent about the abuse that was happening. Peter Boyles asked about it specifically. The claim that Peter Marks or Victor said he went back and tried to report it in Mendenhall, Mississippi, and they just weren't interested. Listen to this. My friends and myself have an issue with the 7, 7 and 4 and 5. Yeah. So you told a story about killing a guy. And that one, I had. I had breakfast with, I'll tell you the guy's name, Joe Petricelli, retired homicide cop. He did Chucky Cheese. Well, you're... Oh, yeah. Yeah, he did the Chucky Cheese, and he put Nathan Dunlap. And he said, there's no way in this world. that a police department would have told you to go away when you came to confess killing that man or not having been assisted to kill a man. Well, you can simply call Menon Hall-Mage Sheriff Department. That's exactly who I told. He can call them. What's the department again? It's Menon Hall. It's the Sheriff Department in Menon Hall, Mississippi. And they told you. Yeah, it was a deputy sheriff. They had to call me back. I explained it. They said it's been decades. And they're like, where was the house? I said, I don't know. It was seven. It was at night. Who's the victim? I said, I don't know. I just think it was a guy that was going to abuse me. And they're like, who's your stepfather? I told them. I mean, I kept things quiet until I was in my 40s. But I said, yeah, it was, you know, Ken Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. And his family, you know, they looked him up. He went to prison. His brother went to prison. It was a big deal. And they just said, well, we don't know who was killed and we don't know where. We're not going to put our effort and time in it. Now, I'm going to stop it there because that in and of itself is so preposterous to me. I mean, at least you take a report. You have to make a note of it. You don't just say, no, that didn't happen. What are your thoughts on that, Corey? Well, so, so I took the challenge and I called the Mendenhall, Simpson County, the Simpson County Sheriff's Department in Mendenhall. And the first woman I talked to, I've got a letter in my writing, Ms. Eric Swalwell. So I presented to her what the story is, and she said,

We've never heard of such a thing. I'm going to put you on hold. So she comes back and she's a little panic stricken and she's like, you're telling me that there's a homicide in our county that has not been reported. And I said, I'm not telling you that. I'm telling you what. the platform that Victor Marks has says. And she's like, oh, you know, please send me. She said, send me a fax. I said, you know, to be honest with you, I don't have a fax machine. Can I email? She said, sure. So I emailed her, and I have the letter in my writing, and it was basically, can you confirm this? I didn't get a response, but I realized that I had the wrong email address. I mixed up. P for T or something like that. So I resubmitted it again, and I got an answer response right away from a gentleman, Lieutenant Investigator, Chris Wallace, and he said, and he said, no, we have nothing, no report of it. So I even kicked it back to him, and I said, okay, you have no report of it, no one calling it in. Is there any possibility somebody walked in and gave this report? gets back to me includes the sheriff on the response in the and no nothing absolutely nothing the notion that just because it's a small town they wouldn't even take a report is just it's completely absurd i'm talking to corey Robert F. Kennedy Jr. oh go ahead Corey really quickly because i got to quick break no i was going to say and that's exactly what they said there to have a homicide within our jurisdiction that is unreported or that was reported and nothing is being done is absurd and you know it's their reputation and yeah It's amazing to me that nobody else has asked this question. Corey, we'll be back right after this. Keep it on K-O-A. Corey Robert F. Kennedy Jr., she has been doing a deep dive on Victor Marx's claims of daring due, and one of them is that he has saved 45,000 people. At least that was the claim, but let me let you hear from Victor what he said on Peter Boyle's show when asked about rescuing 45,000 people. Oh, wait, sorry, I Rod, I need that back. Do that? Hang on. Let me get that. Oh, hang on. Let me get that back here. And here we go. Ever. Or it's never been putting writing that I said I rescued 45,000 people. That's kids. That's what people tell me. And I go, I never said that. We have reached help. Some have been rescued physically. But our goal and emphasis has always been. trauma-based, how do we help those who've been affected? Now, I'm going to stop in there because now we've moved the goalpost once again. Now, I went to the internet because I'm pretty good with the internet and I put in my Google search, Victor Mark saved 45,000.

Pretty easy thing to fact check. When I brought that up, one of the first entries was an entry for Victor Marks for governor. And it says, and I quote, learn more about Victor Marks, a husband, father, U.S. Marine, and high-risk humanitarian who has rescued more than 45,000 women and children from some of the blah, blah, blah. Now, when you click on the website, it has completely different verbiage. Why is that, Corey? So that is what's in the metadata. The metadata is where it's, you know, exactly what you did through the SEO is how it pulls it up because he wants to, he wants you to search for that and find it. But then, but when you go to the page, it doesn't have that information within the page. It's sitting right there in his metadata. So to be clear, the Victor Marks for Governor campaign who built this website had to put that metadata in there. This wasn't added by some outside force. It was put in by whoever created the Victor Marks for Governor campaign site. 100%. I have my own website and everything on it and any search tools needed to find my website is created by us. So let me ask you about that 45,000 number because you actually had a conversation with his campaign manager, advisor, about that 45,000 number? And what did they say? Trent Langhofer at the Evergreen Area Republican Club meeting that Victor Marx attended. I believe it was March 4th. And specifically, he was asked, Trent Langhofer, you know, the 45,000 rescues. And Trent Langhofer, he does not even correct you when he, this, by the way, he does not correct you. He says. We have delivered 45, I think it was actually 46,000 stuffed animals to children in hostile territories. And when you push a button that... stuffy says a prayer, a Christian prayer in the native language. And my husband, who is a very calm man, yelled at him and said, that's BS. There is no way that counts as a rescue. And Trent Langhofer, he innocently with these puppy dog eyes, says, you don't think that counts as a rescue? And my husband was like, no, that is not a rescue. That is giving stuffies.

I wonder how many donors to the Victor Marks campaign or All Things Possible Ministry were donating money to give a stuffed animal that says a prayer. I'm genuinely curious about that. Corey, I am out of time and there's so much more to this. It is not even funny and it's all so well documented. I need everybody to go check this out and then spread the word and spread the word because the myth of the man is... completely fabricated. It is a myth. And Corey and I had a conversation off the air about why we recognize this kind of behavior. And it's because we know guys like this. We've been around them and we understand the behavior. Corey, keep up the good work because you are doing the work that the news media should have been doing and is not. And you may be the person that saves the rest of the Republican ticket. That's genuinely how I feel about the work that you're doing. So I appreciate you so much and I appreciate you making time for me today and appreciate the work that you're doing and everyone should go read it. Thank you very much, Mandy, for having me on. I very much appreciate it. We'll be right back. Thomas Frye is on. We're switching gears entirely because we've got to talk about a robot Geneva convention. Yeah, it's happening next.

Now it's time to talk about our robot overlords, or more importantly, how to keep us all from dying when the robots take over. And our future is Thomas Frye joins us to do just that. Thomas. I was telling Thomas off the air. When we first started our futurist conversations, many years ago, I told you the thought of a self-driving car. I was so far away from that. I am ready for a self-driving car right now. I have been stuck in traffic multiple times and I'm ready for the robots to take over. I don't care. But perhaps I should be worried about that because we don't really have a framework for robots, do we? Well, we have a lot of things to decide for robots. Now, think of robots as physical AI. So they're all being run by an AI system. And so when you have a robot that's sitting next to you, you have to feel comfortable that the robot will not turn around and attack you or do anything that harmed you. And so it kind of goes back to Isaac Asimov's three laws of robotics way back in 1942 when he first proposed them. And they seemed pretty simplistic. And now I thought that it kind of quickly dismissed them. But as I think through this now, we're likely going to have robots in our houses. And some of the first uses for robots in our houses are going to be elder care and child care. And at the same time, we have the military using robots to shoot people and to cause people harm. And so when we see that there's the possibility of things can go wrong. And people can use a robot to, like, rob a bank or to harm another individual or to scam somebody out of something. I think there's lots of grounds that we haven't covered. We need, like, a whole body of laws that cover all the possibilities of what can go wrong with robots. Well, let's go back to Asimov's three laws, right? Because in my viewpoint, The best framework is the simplest framework, right? Our Constitution is a perfect example of that. Our Constitution is just a list of the limitations of government, right, in a very simple way. So these basically are kind of the same thing. And Asimov's first law is a robot may not injure a human being, fairly obvious, but what does injure mean? That's where you put the meat on the bones of. You can't perpetrate a scam that is going to separate a person from their money or something along those lines. The second, a robot must obey. human orders unless those orders conflict with the first law. I mean, that's a pretty good addition. And then the third, a robot must protect its own existence unless that conflicts with the first two. I feel like if that were the scaffolding, right? If that were the skeleton of all of the regulation you were talking about, we'd be doing pretty dang good.

Right, right. That's a good starting point, but there's all kinds of nuances. If somebody attacks you and your robot is set to protect you, to what extent can the robot protect you? Can it harm that other human being? If that person is totally relentless and wanting to harm you, to what extent can it go to prevent you from harming me? Those are issues that have to be decided on some level. But aren't those the same issues that we've already sort of decided for society? I mean, not every death is, you know, at someone else's hands is considered a murder. So to your point, I do think there are ways to put the framework on that skeleton that says in the protection of your person, you know, because what if somebody, what if the police are coming to arrest you? Does your robot perceive that to be a threat? These are all things that I feel like have to be discussed and sort of put into some kind of, you know, system that is consistent like open source all this stuff right so every robot has the same set of values but is that realistic in an era where we have you know people on the other side of the world that don't have the same value system we have what are they going to build their own robots there's nothing that says they're going to program them the same way that we're going to program ours Well, think of it this way. If we don't come up with some universal system, we're like one major incident away from collapsing the entire robotics industry before it even gets off the ground. Meaning if a person gets hurt by a robot, then you are going to have a really hard time regaining trust. Right, right. Yeah, people won't want to buy a robot that if they think that this robot might hurt them or harm them in some way or if somebody else's robot can harm them. See, the same robots, and I think most of us has seen pictures of robotic dogs that have a gun mounted on their back. Yeah. These are the type of things being developed. by the military and they're looking at ways to employ them in battlefields around the world. Now, that's the same type of robot. We might want to actually help with a grandmother that needs somebody to cuddle up to, and we could have a furry version of that same robot. So those are kind of mixed messages that we need to sort out before we dive too far down the path of the entire robotics industry.

The issue of military usage versus civilian usage, I think, is where the problem in my mind is. Because to your point, if we're building robots specifically, and it's my understanding that as of now, those robots are not autonomous, meaning they are not going to be making decisions about who to kill. They are going to be, there's going to be a human attached that is going to make those decisions about who to shoot and who not to shoot. As of right now. But when we do get to a point in the future where autonomous decisions are being made, that is where I get a little like sky net kind of feeling. You know what I mean? Because then if the government decided to label me an enemy combatant and tell robots only kill enemy combatants, then I'm screwed. Right. Well, I think of it this way. If you feed a robot a picture of a person and give them the order to find this person and kill that person, then it goes around scanning faces until it finds that person and then shoots them. That's the potential downside of all of this. I think we need to go back to square one and should robots ever be used in the military to harm other people? I mean, should we take that off the table? Yeah, but if it prevents a human soldier from having to go on the battlefield, that's where I'm like, yes, I would prefer that. Rather than having humans being shot at, I'd rather than our robot army be shot at as long as those guns are not turned around on me. Yeah, that's one option, naturally. But it's at the same time, that same company that's making that robot that works in the battlefield can be making ones for our domestic use. wires can get across and things can go wrong. You're not helping me, Thomas, because I just told Thomas off the air that I am ready. Like, if there was a functional, effective robot that costs between 10 and 15 grand that could do my laundry, clean my house, occasionally cook a meal, you know, maybe refinish the deck or something, I'm buying it. Take my money. I want it. And now you're making me feel like I should worry about it killing me in my sleep. Right. So I want to make sure that we don't have to worry about that. And that's what I think we need to iron these things out ahead of time. Let me ask you a question about robotics in general and ethics, Thomas, because I think that...

A lot of these conversations that we're happening that we're having are going to be decided by human beings who are ethicists, you know, and the people that are making these decisions. We talked about this with self-driving cars. Like there's a whole ethics in self-driving cars that had to be decided. So where are the people? Like who are the people making these ethical decisions about how robots are going to be programmed? Or is there a panel? Is there a commission? Is there a group of people that are thinking about these things? Well, I had suggested that we need some sort of Geneva Convention type of event with robot experts around the table to go through a whole series of issues that we're going to come up against and then actually kind of decide how we should be dealing with them. I don't think these are easy issues to deal with. It's as soon as we have the very capable robot, somebody will figure out how to use it the wrong way. Right. Using scams and using it in your gang, things like that. And then going down the path a little bit, I mean, this is it okay to divorce your spouse because they had an affair with your sex bot? Things like that are coming down to pike as well. You just made me think of something like criminal gangs using a robot. So they send a robot into a corner store with a gun to rob the store. Who do you charge? Right. And you somehow have to prove that the robot was given the orders and that it didn't act on its own. I mean, is it possible to actually program a bad robot that just goes around and steal stuff? I mean, I'm sure. We've already seen every technology that gets rolled out. Scammers, thieves, and liars figure out ways to use it, right? I mean, now we have these incredibly complex scammers that are calling people with AI generated voices of their loved ones and lying to them that they're in a hospital or something. So we already know that tech will be used for evil. I think we just have to assume and then do our best to mitigate that. And that's maybe where the robot laws come in in the first place. But again, if you're a bad actor, and you want to turn that switch off and reprogram your robot to do evil, that's going to be really hard to stop. Well, to complicate this, we're going to be running up against a whole new effort to create AI personhood.

and if you have a robot that looks like a human it acts like a human is very sophisticated do we grant it human rights do we grant it something similar to human rights does it have The right to accuse someone else of a crime. Can your robot accuse you have a crime, right? I mean, could you accuse them of abuse or something like that? These are all fascinating things to think about. And the sad part is that I've long said, I've said this before the digital revolution. We as human beings keep inventing technology that jumps out so far ahead of us. And then we try and catch up through regulatory structures and all of this stuff. We're doing it now with the internet. We're trying to start doing it with AI. But robotics could be dangerous if we let it jump too far ahead of us and we don't have that framework already in existence. Yeah, it's going to happen very quickly, especially the AI personhood debate. We were simply not prepared for that in any way, shape, or form. I mean, does that robot have the right to own property? Does it have the right to run a business? And if it lives 300 years and it can pass from one generation of robot to the next generation, then all of a sudden, all the robots own every business in the world and people own nothing. Right. We can create all kinds of weird scenarios like that. For me, robot rights would have to be, you know, you must maintain your robot properly, right? You know, there are things that would pertain. But I can't see us getting to a point in the near future where robots are on the same level as human beings as far as the law goes. But would that be the thing that starts the robot revolution as they all rise up and demand their human rights and then realize that they're way stronger than we are and can totally take us in a fight? Yeah. And while these type of things are happening much faster than you think, 2035 we're going to have robots that are virtually like humans. in lots of way, shape, and form. We're going to actually be able to grow skin on a surface of robots so they actually have the same touch and feel as humans. And that goes to the last paper that you've got here. Let's talk about the diaper test. I don't want to run out of time. So you're talking about human-like robots with skin, but some of the biggest problems are the smallest problems to solve. Tell me, what is the diaper issue? Yeah, I came up with this idea that we need some sort of a Turing test for robots. And the idea I came up with is that if a humanoid robot could actually change a dirty diaper on a child, that that would be a really good test. And if they perform that flawlessly,

Every mother in the world would want to have that robot to help change diapers on their kids. Maybe the second kid, not the first kid. That happens. Yeah. Then again, if it's not delicate enough to handle that, then we run into other issues. Well, I was going to say that, mothers would not do that for the first kid, but they would do it for the second kid. So one of the texters earlier said, let me find it very, very quickly, because I think it's an interesting stake. We have cars, though, and those kill us, maybe more than anything else. Robots can survive some human deaths, I think. The difference is in the uptake of the robots, because I want to direct people's attention. to nuclear power. A freaking movie in the 1980s has prevented nuclear power from taking hold in the United States. So you better believe that one robot killing one kid is going to end robotics for, you know, decades if that happens, don't you think? Right, right. Yeah, that could set things back a long ways. Yeah, so these are some of the hurdles that I see coming up. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of things when I think about this. And that's why some sort of a Geneva convention type of event I think would be so helpful. This, texture said, I've never been so happy to be an old fart. I will never live long enough to see this. I don't know. It's happening. And one of the areas where it's expected to take hold first is in the care of elderly people. Right, right. Yeah, and so should robots record everything that they do? Should robotic cars record everything that happens inside the cars? I mean, are these policies that we want? Should we have the right to turn things off? Do we have the right with that type of surveillance to know where everybody is at any given time? Do I want the government to actually know that, those things? Can the government hack in and look through my robot's eyes and see what's going on in my house? Right, right. Now, okay, great. Now I don't want a robot. Thanks, Thomas. You're a whole paintload of fun today. I appreciate you. Thomas Fry is my guest. You can find him at the futuristspeaker.com, and I put links to all of his articles, and you really should read them. They're really thought experiments, right? They're just designed to get you thinking, and they always get me thinking. Although after talking to Thomas, I now don't want a robot yet until I don't know. You know what? There's part of me that maintains such a high level of paranoia just in general. But then there's the part of me that's like, Mandy, lean in. Just lean in. It's going to be easier than fighting it. Just let the robots take over. It'll be fine. Where are you on that scale, Thomas? I am about 50-50 still. All right. Thomas, we'll talk to you next month, my friend. It's good to see you as always.

All right. Thank you. Thanks, Fannie. All right. That is Thomas Fry. And, yeah, where are you on the robot spectrum? Are you ready? Like, if I bought you a robot that could clean your house, wash your car, cook you guys, dinners on occasion, and I bought it for you. Would you have it in your house? A million percent. And then the next day or same day, I would just hire Will Smith to be on standby in case it goes full-eye robot. You know, that is a plan. That shows forethought right there. That is something. Yeah, I've got great plans. I am legend. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Hi, Mandy. Robot Rights from the Common Spirit Health text line. Look at what rights. Some factions of our society are artificially giving to non-citizens. That idea would definitely transfer to non-humans in the future. Very unfortunate for us. That is all. Here's the thing. And I tell this to my kids all the time. Like, boy, are you guys going to have to solve some jacked-up problems? But we've done it before. You'll screw it up because we've done that before, too. But at least it's going to be interesting. Mandy, robots will surveil us whether we say so or not. Yeah. Mandy, a sex bot that looks like Scarlett Johansson, I'm in. Sign me up. That from a texter. Let's just take a time out and think about that for a moment. Coming up at 2.30, we're going to have Wayne Harley from Club 20 on. We talked a little bit about the road initiative that is probably going to be on the ballot. They were well ahead in gathering signatures last I heard. So there's going to be an initiative on the ballot that would require the legislature to actually spend money collected for roads on roads. Not stupid bike lanes or whatever. Actually spend it on roads. You've got to hear what the Democrats in the legislature have plotted just in case. We'll talk to Wade about that at 230. Denver's assault ban, assault weapons ban, excuse me, is under fire. You know, it's interesting to see the many ways that the federal government has found to annoy the city of Denver. Because the city of Denver loves to poke a thumb right in the eye of Donald Trump and the federal government, right? So the problem is that the federal government's thumb is much, much, much bigger. So the, let me do this. Let me go back to that. Let me find it one more time. Bear with me for a moment. Harmeet Dillon just filed a lawsuit against the city of Denver about their AR-15 ban. They allege that it is a clear violation of the Second Amendment because an AR is a constitutionally protected weapon. Now, Mayor Mike Johnson took to the streets yesterday. I'm just going to read this from the Denver Gazette. Denver officials have rejected a U.S. Department of Justice demand that they repealed the city's longstanding ban on assault weapons. Our answer is hell no, Mayor Mike Johnston told members of the press, along with public safety leaders gathered at City Hall on Monday. No.

We will not roll back a common sense policy that has kept weapons of war off these city streets for 37 years. No, we will not put first responders at greater risk every time they respond to a dangerous incident. No, we will not go back to a time when folks are worried about walking into movie theaters, grocery stores, or public elementary schools. Our answer is hell no. Well, now it's been filed. And I'm just going to pop some popcorn and watch. Because the state of Colorado has been proven over and over and over and over again to crap all over our constitutionally protected rights. And now the Department of Justice is paying attention. And their thumb is much bigger than Denver's thumb. From this Denver Gazette story, I've got to read to you what was said by our chief of police. Let me scroll down here. Blah, blah, blah. Oh, come on, Mandy. In it, the Chief of Police, oh, maybe it's from a different article. Let me go here. Chief Ron Thomas said, of the 2,100 guns that were recovered by Denver Police last year, Thomas said that less than 40 or 2% were assault-style weapons. Now, that makes it sound like this man works. My gosh, it's only 2%. So I decided to do a little looksy into the FBI data on how many, what percentage of gun crimes were committed with long guns. A vast majority of them are committed with pistols. We all know this, handguns. But nobody's talking about banning handguns because they know that would be a bridge too far. Because too many people who are not necessarily gun nuts do own a handgun because they want to be able to protect themselves, right? So that's never going to happen. But not as many people own long guns. If you don't hunt. there's not necessarily a feeling like I should own a rifle. I mean, I'm going to be honest, like I'm not a rifle person. I own shotguns. I mean, I did until they were all lost in a boating accident. I, you know, but I am not a rifle person. So a lot of people who otherwise are like, oh, I'm going to keep my handgun for personal protection. They're a little more, a little more squishy. Because AR-15s are scary. They're so scary looking. Have you ever seen them? They assault you with their books. They're just frightening looking. But the reality is, is that nationwide, all of the handgun crimes that are committed, meaning the murders, because I didn't gather up everything, every crime committed with a handgun. 2.8% use a rifle. So Denver, at a big 2%. is just below the national average. Now, here is the other thing that I'd like to point about Denver's assault weapons ban. When you drive from, say, Douglas County or even Weld County on the other side, when you drive from either of these counties, at what point do you have to stop and have your car searched to make sure that you're not bringing an assault weapon? Now, I've got to tell you guys, I drive up from Douglas County every single day. And I have every single, not every single day, every single work day, since basically 2013, not one single time. Have I ever been stopped and searched? Now, do you know what I can buy in Douglas County? Do you know what I can buy in Weld County? So what exactly is this doing other than virtue signaling that we believe that assault weapons are bad, so we're going to prevent you from Biden in Denver County.

It's all performative and idiotic. Now, I saw this on the blog after I had published the blog today, but Mike O'Donnell, who loves to crunch stats. I mean, he loves to crunch stats. He did a nice, a nifty graph, and I'm going to make it bigger so I can see. He does monthly murder counts January 13th to March 2026. Now, why go back that far? Because back in 2013, we had a much more balanced government. We didn't have pure Democratic control. That didn't kick in until 2019. Single party rules started in 2019. And when you look at the number of murders on this bar graph that Mike O'Donnell has created, that I retweeted, by the way, on X.com. You can see that back in the 2013 to say 2017, the highest number of murders in that time frame, the highest number per year in Colorado was 27. The lowest was six. And that happened in 24. Oh, no, excuse me. These are by quarter. Monthly murder counts. So 27 in a month. The lowest was six in a month. Now after Democrats got in and started passing all the gun control bills, the numbers look much, much, much different. Now the lowest in, let me see here, that's got to be June, July. Looks like the first quarter of 2026. You have one month with eight murders. That's the lowest it is. The highest? One month with 49 murders. And the numbers are significant, significantly higher. And yet you have Mayor Mike Johnston standing there telling people that they are safer because of Democratic gun control than they are without. How do they, I mean, how do you even begin to look at the data points and argue that? It doesn't make any sense. I also have on the blog today an interesting study that seems to show a correlation, and this is going to shock none of you that listen to this show, seems to show a correlation between gun-free zones and an increase in firearm injuries. You heard me right. When you institute gun-free zones, you get more firearm injuries. So much so that other states who had gun-free zones and the Capitol or things like that, they're no rolling them all back. Saying this is just stupid. Because honestly, remember, when you tell criminals that there are no guns allowed in an area, the only people that are going to have guns are going to be the criminals. It's so weird. I know this is crazy. It's so weird, but criminals, they don't really follow the law. I know. I know. Who saw that coming? Ten hours on my feet. Traffic, noise, everybody needing something for me.

Yes, I am. Okay, it was based on the story of Frank Abagnale, an actual dude. So you've heard of the guy, right? So Frank, Frank Abagnale made a small fortune on the public speaking tour talking about the incredible life that he had. He claimed he spent five years as a teenage fugitive. He impersonated a Pan Am pilot, a Harvard train doctor, and a Louisiana attorney general, while forging $2.5 million in bad checks across 26 countries. Now...

It has been turned into a movie by Stephen Spielberg. Broadway turned it into a musical. The FBI hired him as a consultant. AARP named him their official fraud watch ambassador. He charged between $20,000 and $30,000 per speaking engagement for decades. That's a turnaround. Telling audiences how he pulled it off. Then in 2020. A journalist named Alan Logan spent three years pulling every public record, prison document, newspaper archive, and court file he could find, and he found out it was all a lie. every single bit of it. His only confirmed crime was a check fraud totaling less than 1,500 bucks. He admitted to making the whole thing up. What? Yeah. No. Yeah. No, no, no. Yeah. No. No. Just goes to prove if you lie big enough and you lie with enough detail, people will believe you without checking. I mean, that's fascinating. The most valuable skill Frank Abagnale ever had was the ability to make people so entertained by a story that they forgot to verify it. And that particular skill helped him rake in millions and millions and millions and millions of dollars. Does this sound familiar to anybody else as to what we're dealing with right now in Colorado? I mean, I'm just curious. I can't believe this. No, it's a great movie. I refuse this. I think the lie is a lie. Nope. The lie is the lie is the lie. He lied about it all. Well, at least regardless, even if the movie is now fiction. It's still a great movie. Amazing, amazing movie. Prison records show that Frank Abagnale was behind bars for most of the years. He claimed to be a fugitive. The Georgia hospital, he says he impersonated a doctor, said they had no record of him. The Louisiana Attorney General's office had no record of him. Logan, or the Pan Am said they would most assuredly remember $2.5 million in bad checks. This never happened, says Pan Am security department. And yet, what a griff this guy ran. Amazing. Mandy, gun owner here. There's no reason anyone needs an AR-15. They are high-powered, low recoil with 30-round magazines. But respectfully text her, that's none of your business.

No. Wait, so the greatest con of all time was a con artist conning the general public into believing he was the greatest con artist of all time. That, my friends, is how you run a con. That's so good.

The man got famous, lying, and nobody bothered to call and check and see if anybody had reported a murder. I mean, that's not what we're talking about. Is he the greatest con artist of all time? Well, I mean one. We're seeing another one now. right here in Colorado. Mandy, I was on Reddit and someone said the problem is that Democrats in Colorado are too libertarian. What? I mean, don't get me wrong, you guys. Reddit is a cesspool of stupidity. If you want to see the dumbest people on the planet, a vast majority of them are posting every five minutes on Reddit. Now, don't get me wrong, there are some really smart people on Reddit. When you go to, like, you know, smart people, Reddit threads about smart things, but anything about politics, you're generally getting the bottom of the bucket when it comes to Reddit deep thought. They'll never get political information from Reddit. It's just awful. Oh, wait, this text, Mandy, I heard Victor Marks won the Medal of Honor in World War 11. No word on that. And who, Texer, I'm just going to say, I just blew you a little kiss for bringing that around. World War 11 is never going to get old. Anyway, back to the text who said no one needs an AR-15. Again, I just want to reiterate, that is none your business. It is none your business what guns other people want to have, why they want to have them, or what they want to do with them. The Second Amendment doesn't say, you know, the government shall not infringe the right to bear arms except for those who have weapons that I disagree with.

None your business at all. When we get back, I have so much stuff on the blog today. I had to get the Frank Abagnale story in because I saw that was like, what? When we get back, hey, Rod, let's talk about the Met Gala for just a minute. And I know what you're thinking, why? The Met Gala is one of those things that just screams. The Emperor has no clothes. It's all of these people who care about stuff that doesn't matter in the long run. And they all are so petty and backbiting and stabbing each other. I mean, it's just so, it's like an episode of the Real Housewives of the Met Gala. And then there are the outfits. Like Hunger Games ask. You know what? That's a fine comparison. We'll do that next. The Mandy Connell show is sponsored by Bell and Pollock accident and injury lawyers. Now, it's Mandy Connell. Mandy Connell, Rue in the Day. On K-O-A, 850 a.m. 94-1 FM.

Welcome, welcome, welcome to the third hour of the show. And we are making our way through a busy broadcast day. And I, you know, you're going to think to myself, why are we even talking about this? But let's talk for a moment about the vet gala. But I want to remind you if you missed our first hour with Corey Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has dissected the claims Victor Marks made last week on Peter Boyle's show. Like nobody's business, you need to go back and listen to it. I just reposted it on social media. And I'd love for you to share it with people that follow you as well. So we're talking about the med gala because what a perfect example of how totally out of touch. The fashion world in this case. You've got different forms of entertainment and they all operate in their bubble. You have Hollywood and actors and actresses. You are in this bubble and then you have fashion, which is in this bubble. And the Met Gala is a massive event to raise money for the Costume Institute. Now, the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. And the Met Gala is their biggest fundraiser. And it is always a theme that is chosen by Vogue Magazine's editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour. Anna's known for being a real bionch, if you know what I mean. I mean, that is her reputation. I am not spreading tales out of school. That is what she is known as. As a matter of fact, many of you saw The Devil Wears Product 2, where the Merrill Street character is 100% based on Anna Wintour and her reputation. But every year they have a theme chosen by Miss Wintor, and then all of these Hollywood celebrities get invited and they pay a ridiculous sum of money. Individual tickets to the Met Gala are $100,000. Guys, I, you know what? Like if you told me, you can watch the second coming of Christ and it's going to cost you $100,000. I'll wait until it's streaming. You know, I just, I can't even, but then I don't have that kind of money. So maybe if you have that kind of money, it's no big deal. But nonetheless, the Met Gala is a really big deal. And last night's Met Gala was underwritten by none other than Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Jeff Bezos. And what they're trying to do is they're trying to buy entrance into the private club, which is the world of fashion. And they're, they really, really, really, like everyone hates them. Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez because they're gauche. They're not classy enough. No, they're not. Not at all. So.

Last night's Met Gala is being panned by everyone. But, Arod, can I ask you a question as a guy? Okay. I need you to put your guy hat, not your nice guy, just your guy hat on. No, even better wait, let note, no, link back that up. Put your bro hat on. Okay? That thing doesn't fit. I know it doesn't fit. I need you to, I need you to embrace the role of a bro for just a moment. Okay. Because last night, not one, not two, but three different women that I saw came out with a dress that had hard nipples on it. And I was like, not their own, mind you. Not their hard nipples. Okay, just to be clear, because a lot of guys were like, hey, there's nothing wrong with that. No, not fake hard nipples on their gowns. And I'm genuine, I mean, because the answer is no. I'll tell you now. Even with your bro hat on. Your bro hat. No. What? Why? Why? I know. Why? Is that a thing? I don't know. I do not know. No. I really don't. Uh-uh. And, but all of these outrageous costumes, Madonna showed up last night. She looks terrible. God bless her. Madonna looks like she is made out of plastic. No, you can just say corpse. It's fine. She looks like, um, madam, madam and, you know, the, the puppet. Who was her puppeteer? Who was her ventriloquist? Wait, wait. Madam and Madam Flowers? Is that, hang on one second. Madam Flowers. Yes. Oh, Waylon Flowers and Madam. Oh. He was big in the 70s. Google Wayland Flowers and Madam. Does that not look like Madonna? Yeah. I mean, it's, it's, Madonna is 67 years old. Hey, God bless her. And here's the thing. I hope to look as good. Well, I don't want to look like Madonna, but I, you know, I hope to look good at 67, but I'm also not willing to just do weird things to my face that. Apparently everyone in Hollywood is doing their face. But it's just, it's so, it's so stupid. This whole event is so stupid. And then today, and the gossip brags are like, oh, everyone snubbed Jeff Bezos and Lauren. No one wanted to be around them. They're so tacky. They're so base. They're so whatever. And in the meantime, I'm going to find, I'm going to pull up this sentence that I saw last night. And when I read it, Chuck is sitting next to me and I go, what the double deuce is this? Let me read the sentence to you from CNN. Oh, excuse me, not CNN. From breaking 911 news. This is the sentence. Aaron Rose Phillip, the first black transgender woman with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, signed to a major modeling agency, arrived at the Met Gala. How much victimhood can you fit into one sentence? We've got a black transgender woman, so a dude, with quadriplegic cerebral palsy in a wheelchair signed to a major modeling agency. Now, don't get me wrong, I think inclusive modeling is a wonderful thing. I truly do. I love to see an ad campaign where they're using people. Some of them have Down syndrome. They're getting modeling gigs now, you know, people of all different stripes and all different backgrounds. But we're pointing this out now.

It's crazy. Now, in case you were wondering, Aaron Rose Phillip, the first black transgender woman with quadriplegic cerebral palsy signed to a major modeling agency, also said that the reason there are not more black transgender women with quadriplegic cerebral palsy signed to a major modeling agency is because of whiteness. Not for nothing. How many black transgender women with quadriplegic cerebral palsy signed to it? How many of them are there? Can't be more than a handful and they can't all be that attractive. It's amazing to me how we like root through to try and find as many things as we can't. Like how many boxes can one person check. Oh, you know what? She's got four. Sign them. Sign them to a contract. So it's just so dumb and so petty and so small. And in the meantime, the rest of us are out here buying clothes at Costco and not spending $100,000 for a car or maybe even like our first home. Rich people are going to do what rich people are going to do. Like I would love to be rich just so if I got this invitation, I'd be like, no, I don't want to hang out with you people. Arod, is there anything that could possibly make flying worse these days? Can you think of anything? Because I can think of one thing, and guess what? It's about to happen. Oh, God. Well, RIP spirit, but go ahead. Phone calls on airplanes. What? Yeah. Yeah. British Airways has already started allowing people both voice and video calls over Wi-Fi. Yeah. I don't want to do it. Why? Well, I guess they think that connectivity is more important than annoying the crap out of every other passenger in the immediate vicinity. Because I got to tell you, if someone is sitting next to me on an airplane and they are on the phone, I am going to engage with that phone call. Pretend you're on the phone. Like, you're on the phone. You're like, hello, and you're talking to Jocelyn. Right about anything. Just to pretend. Yeah, I'm going to get home here in a little bit. What do you want for dinner tonight? Wait, are you guys going to have, are you going to have, are you going to have chicken? I'm going to have. Excuse me, I'm on the phone. Oh, I thought you're talking to me. What do you want to make for, what do you want to make for dinner tonight? I don't really want to make dinner. No, I don't have to work up. No, I don't have to work up. You know, just, what is wrong with people? Now, back in the day, here's, here's, this is actually a fun fact. When I was applied attendant back in the 90s. There were phones on the airplane that you could do a ground to air call, but they were extremely expensive. You had to use your credit card. You had to scan your credit card. There was a slider on the back of the phone. You had to scan your credit card. And then it was like some crazy amount. It was like $5 a minute or some crazy number. And it really was. just for people that fit into one of two categories. Number one, category of emergency, emergency. I have to find out what's going on. Or category two, businessman who just wanted everybody to know how important and rich he was. Just telling you the facts. But now, if we've democratized people being able to talk on the phone on an airplane, I cannot think of a worse idea.

The reality is, is that I have incredibly good noise canceling headphones, but at some point, this is going to cause a riot on a phone, on a plane. What's happening now on airplanes where people are just embracing their worst instincts? I don't know if you saw, Aaron, I had two more entries for the lifetime ban on airplanes, people that should never be allowed to fly again. And I retweeted them on X. I didn't put them on the blog. I should have. One of them was a Southwest Airlines plane that was delayed because of a robot passenger in the aisle seat. I am not making this up. This story is fantastic. So there's a company that apparently has these little robots and they fly around the country with bebop. Bebop the robot. And the robot walked onto the airplane and then sat down in the aisle seat. Now, that is against policy for lodge carry-on items because then you could potentially block somebody if they had to get from the window or the center seat out of that seat in an emergency. So they moved bebop to the window seat instead, and then they required them to take the lithium battery out of bebop. So it took like an hour. They had to delay the flight. So Bebop, guess what? Band for Life. In my world, Band for Life. And then listen to this one, Anthony. Listen to the second Band for Life contestant of the day. She was on her phone. On her phone. And the flight attendant, they're texting. And the flight attendant comes back is like, hey, you're going to have to get off your phone. And this woman just said, no, no, I'm not. I don't have to get off the phone. So they actually taxied out. She refuses to get off the phone. They have to bring police on. And then they literally have to drag her off the plane. And of course she made the plane late and everybody missed their flights and blah, blah, blah, blah. Banned for life. Everybody banned for life. I'm so tired of it. I'm just bad behavior on airplanes. You're in such a tight, confined space. We should all do our best to be good passengers, good citizens, decent human beings when we're on an airplane. We should actually try harder to be nice. And yet... Maybe it's because airline tickets are too inexpensive. And you're letting too much, too many ruffians on the plane. Well, now that spirit's gone, you know. I can only wait. I got to fly somewhere. Yeah, thanks, Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg hedge. Thanks for saving us from the JetBlue Spirit Airlines merger. Not that I was ever going to fly Spirit again. Buttigis. Exactly. They really screwed the poodle on that one, didn't they? Uh, Mandy. Oops, just clicked a button. Click the clicky. Mandy, these plane phones were how the folks called people on the ground on 911. Go darn Tutin. Exactly. Exactly. Mandy, I thought you were going to say robots in the seat next to you, although I think that they would be the most polite strangers to sit next to me.

Man, I'm a flight attendant in Denver. Our announcements, we specifically say that voice and video calls are against federal regulations. Well, guess what? Now you're going to have a whole new Pope's storm to pay attention to. I don't envy the flight attendants of today, not even for a minute. We've got a proposition that I believe is very close to reaching their signature goal. That's Prop 175, and the object of it. would require the legislature with existing state revenues specifically from vehicle-related fees and taxes to be allocated to road projects prohibiting its diversion to other projects. It doesn't create new taxes. It forces a reallocation of nearly $700 million from the general fund towards highway construction and maintenance. And boy, howdy, the Democrats are spitting mad about this. One organization is supporting it, and that is Club 20 out on the Western Slope and joining me now. He is the current executive director, Wade Harley. What is your time? I never get your title right. Executive Director of Club 20. Wade Harley joining me again. Wade, welcome. Good to see you again. Great to see it. Great for having me. Well, let's talk about for a moment about why Club 20 is supporting Prop 175 first. Well, Prop 175 is actually really what we call the Noble bill. So Dan Noble in 1978 came up with this concept that we should use the money that is derived from when you go to an auto zone, when you go to a big O tire, when you buy your tires. That sales tax should be used to build and maintain roads. He came up with the idea in 1978. He was the Senate Majority Leader. He was from Norwood, Colorado. And he got it passed. It was two thirds. And by the time he retired in 1986, it was 100% of the sales tax derived from the maintenance of cars and trucks were used on Colorado Rudge through the highway users trust fund. And it's a formula. It's, you know, fair to the regions. Well, Dan retired in 1986 and the legislature promptly repealed the noble bill or the noble funds, as they're referred to at C.DOT. And so the money went away. And it's been Club 20's number one issue since 1988 to bring back the noble bills. And that is exactly what initiative 175 does. It ends up being 2% of the state budget going to roads and road maintenance. No new taxes using the taxes we already pay. And it does not cut health care. It does not cut education. And it has absolutely no impact. on the dollars that go to rail and transit. And so some people say that we're upsetting the apple cart with 175 and that this is rewriting the book. That is a complete falsehood. This has been around since 1978. And I'd kick myself because I didn't come up with the idea of putting it into the Constitution. Well, Wade, let's talk about the roads in the area that Club 20 covers because you're a group of 20 counties. How are the roads out on the western slope?

Well, I got to ask the question earlier. Somebody said, well, is this a rural versus urban issue? And I drove around Denver all last week. No, no. No, this is not a rural versus urban. The roads suck just as much in Denver as they do in Egnar as they do in Craig. I did I-70 West and got onto the C470 exit. It was awful. I mean, I can't believe it. So this is not, I don't want to say this is a rural versus urban. This is a. tax or no tax this is this i mean the governor's been very consistent he is opposed to using existing dollars to invest in roads. If we want to invest in roads in Colorado, we have to bring new revenue to the table. He's been very upfront, very direct than me, and very honest and very consistent. That's what he wants. Well, he wants us all out of our cars. I mean, the reality is that the governor is very invested in forcing everyone to live a life that he thinks they should live. So he will then not have to sit in traffic in his automobile because there's a 0% chance. I'm going to see Governor Jared Polis on light rail anytime soon. Let's be real. I mean, they're never talking about themselves, right? It's always us. We're the problem. So Democrats are very unhappy that they are about to have their hands tied. And that brings us to HB 26-1430. What does this bill do? Well, my Friday night was ruined at 938. Well, we had heard rumor all day long that some legislation was coming. I had spoke to the Redlands Rotary Club here in Grand Junction, and one of the Transportation Commission said, Wade, there's some bill coming. I don't know what it is. Wait, wait, let me stop you right there for a second because surely you're mistaken because the session is over. in like another week or so. We're at the end of the session. How is new legislation getting introduced now? That's absurd. We sat there and refreshed our computers, and Andrea, who really runs the Club 20 office, founded at 937 on Friday night. And they also inform me that if I'd like to go testify, I need to be there on Tuesday morning. So, I mean, it was, you know, I don't know. It drives me crazy that the front range has 80% of the people. The Democrats are a super majority and they and they have the governorship and all that. I do not for the life of me understand why they have to cheat, why they have to pull the rug of our eyes, why they have to be non-transparent. This is flat out unfair. They've known about and I called some. You ruin my Friday night. I'm going to ruin your Monday morning. So I called the governor's office at 7 o'clock in the morning, and I asked him some very specific questions. Is the governor behind this? After some mealy mouth kind of stuff that said, yeah, the governor's behind. I said, when did the governor first engage on 175 at the time with different initiatives? I've been working on this since October. They have...

been complaining about it, and then they called in January and said, we are not going to negotiate with a gun to our heads, which is the same strategy I used in second grade when I didn't want to hold my breath until I turned blue. So they decided their first strategy is not to engage. Now their strategy ended up being, we're going to do late bill status. We're going to cheat. You know, we know that they can run over us with a bulldozer any day of the week, just with the urban population against the Westlow population. Just do it in January. Tell us exactly what you're going to do to us. Let us go through our process. But, you know, to drop it at 9.30 on a Friday. It ruined my weekend. What is in this bill that is so egregious? They actually, they went and they did mental gymnastics to figure out how to cut the gas tax, elected at the pump on every gallon of gas equal to what initiative 175 would do. They did a few other things, but they... They would actually like to reduce the gas tax until 2030 and then raise the gas tax back up to make sure that the voters know they will get no benefit out of initiative 175. But nobody can explain to me how I know the legislature can lower taxes without a vote of the people. Governor Owens did it with income tax when we had huge Tabor surpluses. I know you can do that. But nobody has proved to me that you can just arbitrarily say, and then they go back up in 2030. And it's going to have to be somebody a little bit bigger than the chief of staff of the governor to tell me that that can happen. I'm going to need a Supreme Court. You call us Supreme Court justice to tell me that that's legal. I think you can do that stuff with mill levies. Like if you're a library district and things like that, you can go up and down. but there's no way that i see that you can do that with taxes around gasoline so the governor and his supporters in fourteen thirty would rather take an ungodly risk and lower the gas tax and do all this mental gymnastics and do it at the last second just to make sure that not one dime of existing revenue to the state of Colorado ever gets invested in our roads for the building of roads and maintaining of roads. Wade, this is so interesting to me because I hope whoever the Republican candidate is, they make roads one of the top campaign issues that they talk about. And then they talk about the fact that not only do the Democrats not want to invest in our roads, which in my mind, you know, I'm a small government person. So in my mind, I try to ferret out. Things are, am I really okay with the government being in charge of, taking care of, taking my tax money to take care of? Transportation issues are at the top of that list. And I'm not talking about light rail. I'm not talking about buses. I'm talking about making sure that I can drive my car from point A to point B so I can live freely in our little communities in our state. And they have so abdicated that basic responsibility. And it sounds to me like there's no way to spin this that's not just we're doing it for spite.

Yeah. Well, and I would say that there's no partisan way to build a road or maintain a road first. But I can tell you what Club 20, and I spent, you know, instead of writing testimony and planning the driver of my car, I've been polling our executive committee. And we reaffirmed a resolution. We are adamantly opposed to this late bill status. And that's what I'm going to work with, the Democratic candidates for governor, the Republican candidates for governor. This day of late bill status being a legislative strategy has got to end. Again, back when I, and I've told you before, when I grew up doing this back in the 90s, Tilly Bishop, President Matsanaka, President Norton, Speaker Bari Weiss, they would have killed me if I went in and asked for late bill status for something I hadn't done my work. It was a sign of incompetence. Now it's a legislative strategy and it's wrong. It's cheating. It goes against our customs. It goes against our culture. And they are just intentionally leaving out the people who don't live five blocks from the state cap. So where is this bill now? Well, they're having a hearing as we speak. Well, they could. I heard they've left the House floor. They're having a hearing right now. So, you know, and I'm willing to have the debate if we need to raise taxes to invest in roads. That's a legitimate debate. I don't really have a problem with that. I'm on the side of spend, invest the money I already put in there. But if you want to line up with the governor on 1430 in support a bill with late bill status and take this huge risk, You know, as when I worked for Ben Knight Horse Campbell, he had, whenever we'd have to go and get money for animus Laplata, he always knew that the Senate appropriations chairman was Bird from West Virginia. And he knew that Bird had on a list how everybody voted on the Clean Air Act and how it was going to impact coal in West Virginia. So when you went in to ask, he'd go over and look his little check sheet and see how your senators voted. And I'm going to remember how people voted on 1430, that they would take such a reckless move using late bill status. So when you come over in eight years, 12 years, 14 years, and say, I'd like to be Secretary of State, I'm going to look over and see how you voted on 1430. So, wait, I don't know if the average voter understands why the fact that it was brought in as late bill status matters as much. So, I mean, you told me this off the ear, you said back in the day, the only reason you would have late bill status is if you were incompetent in how you wrote a bill initially. So basically it was to fix a problem. It's the worst political favor you could ever ask the president of the Senate or the Speaker of the House. The way late bill status worked back in the day, we had a tornado go through Lyman, Colorado, right down Main Street in Lyman, Colorado. We did a late bill status bill to redirect funding. It was right at the very end of the legislative session in May. Nobody opposed it. We had to move resources around, move the budget around to help Lamb in Colorado. We had a situation in Grand Junction where we found this idea, Jay Seton, the publisher of the Daily Sentinel.

found this idea it was called jumpstart and he found it in new york state and the idea was when when oil and gas dropped off in in western colorado and in pueblo had its own problems uh they came up with this idea to steal literally an idea from new york where companies that located in certain areas wouldn't have to pay the state side W2 for their employees as a recruitment tool. Right. We thought it was a great idea and wanted to do it. And everybody went around and they were like, well, this is still a good idea. Yeah, we'll give you late bill status. But it was an idea every Pueblo wanted, Grand Junction wanted, rifle wanted, Craig wanted. Everybody was for it. But this hiding the ball. to do HB 1430. And there's also a rumor that they're going to use late bill status on right to float, which is something that Club 20 is opposed to. But this is a bill that's been rumored to be around since February. And all we hear is, oh, there's no language to look at. And we don't know if there's going to be a bill. But the rumor is in the next two days, right to float, which will create. possibly a $2 billion obligation by Colorado for taking the private property rights of landowners. They're talking about running this as a late bill, and I will tell you, if this happens, I'm going to go back, my mom's listening, I'm going to go back done crazy if that happens. This late bill status. I mean, again, Just pull out the bulldozer in October. Run us over and just be honest about it. Be transparent. But this late bill status is just wrong as a legislative strategy. Wayne Harley is the executive director of Club 20. Wayne, I appreciate the update and the explanation. I'm going to be watching this bill. I know you are. And maybe we'll regroup after this legislative session is over and we'll talk about. how this all ended up. But in the meantime, everybody signed those petitions for Prop 175 because this makes me want this to pass even more just to shove it down their throats, but that's just me being aggressive. Wade, good to see you again. Thank you so much for having me. See you soon. No, that is Wade Harley with Club 20. And I mean, you guys, this is like a campaign slogan, but this is where we are in Colorado. The Colorado Democrats feel so untouchable. that they're going to do whatever they want to do because they know they're going to get away with it. If you are not following the Los Angeles mayor campaign of Spencer Pratt, you need to start following it. Did you see the Spencer Pratt video on social media today that I put? So Spencer Pratt is a former reality star. And now he's running for mayor of L.A., basically running on a platform of, here's how the Democrats live in their golden palaces while the rest of us are just begging for crumbs. I got it media-wise, nobody's doing it better than Spencer Pratt right now.

And it's, now people are making these AI videos that are insane. I have one on the blog today where he's Batman. And all of the Democrats in California are portrayed as these like kings and queen. It's, it's incredible. This is the kind of AI campaign stuff that I love. Because nobody, I mean, you don't, after you watch it, you know it's not real, right? I mean, you got that A-Rod. Do some people? No, stop. Well, some people maybe not. Maybe not. You're right about that. By the way, AJ, I'm down the hall. He said he's in if we ever need him for Of the Day. And AJ is going to come in next week. AJ is our production director. So I was driving and I was listening to the amazing promo that he made about Justin Simmons's retirement. And he's got all of these clips of Dave Logan and all these calls about Justin Simmons. And I'm driving and I work here and I go, how does he do that? So he'll be doing It's a Living next week with us to talk about how he puts all together all the promos. So we need to grab some greatest hits so we can play what AJ does because it's just he's so good at what he does. Ryan Edwards, speaking of another guy, great at what he does. Thanks. That's Ryan Edwards because now it's time for the most exciting segment on the radio on his guide. In the world. Of the day. All right. What is our dad joke of the day, please, Anthony? The judge asked a locksmith, you were arrested during a drug bust. What were you doing there? He responded, making a bolt for the door, Your Honor. Kind of late, but... Anyway. Yeah. All right. What is our word of the day, please? It is a verb. Yep. Auger. Oh, so auger, isn't that a drill or something? Like an auger is some form of drill? No. I'm stuck on ogle. A-U-R? A-U-R. A-U-R. Oh. Different one. What is that? A noun? What is that? A verb. A verb. I don't know. I don't know. To Waddle. To show or... Jalen Waddle.
