SPEAKER 04 :
Hello, hello, hello. Happy Monday, everyone. What a gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous day it is today. My name is Karen Murray, and I am the lead instructor at Franktown Firearms. And as the gentleman said on the intro, yes, it’s an amazing place. I don’t think you understand what you’re missing if you haven’t been to Franktown Firearms and our other company, Colorado CQB. I’ll get to that in just a second. And if you haven’t been in the last few months, you have to come by and check it out. That’s all there is to it. I’ve mentioned it to you before about the training opportunities that are in store for you, but now it is on. It is so on, and we are so here. In addition to the amazing retail space at Franktown Firearms, you now have the chance to train in an on-site shoot house, the only one of its kind in the state, working with skilled instructors, simulating real-life simulations in a realistic, safe environment. Our instructors range from active duty and former military to police officers, experienced NRA instructors like myself who just want the world to be trained and to be confident with their firearms. We also have bulk ammo for sale. So have to get that out there for you. Nine millimeter. We have the five, five, six, two, two, three in stock in bulk and ready for you to take home. If you want to learn more about the training opportunities that we have, and this goes, you guys, it’s far beyond your common concealed carry class. I want you to visit franktownfirearms.com and our new website. Write this down, www.cocqb.com. It’s coloradocqb.com. So I’ll say that again, www.coloradocqb.com. You can also call 720-770-777 to find out more. You can ask a question, but I’m telling you, you’ve got to come and check it out. It is one of a kind. Next summer, this coming summer at some point, we’re hoping to open up our outdoor battlefield as well. So it’s going to be amazing, and you guys, you have to come check it out. And as also the advertisements say, not corporate. It’s a friendly atmosphere. The people are friendly. It’s down home. It’s down to earth. It’s humble. And it’s fantastic. So you have to go check it out. So I’m going to start today with some, to me, amazing news. Well, to me, it’s beyond amazing. I don’t get chills very often watching confirmations of cabinet picks. But Kash Patel being confirmed as FBI director, I can’t tell you how happy that makes me. And then just yesterday, Dan Bongino was appointed deputy director of the FBI. Oh, man. Between Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, I believe the shakeup is going to be felt globally. So Kash Patel, obviously, he’s at the top. His chief of staff answers directly to him. And then we have Dan Bongino. So he’s right under there. He’s right under Kash Patel. And then all the other offices and branches answer to him. If you listen to Dan Bongino, you know how smart that man is and how he does not play around. So this is going to be amazing to watch. Dan Bongino has been a very important voice in alternative media. And, of course, you guys know he had a stint as a contributor on Fox News, and then he had his own show for a short time. I believe he was probably a little too much truthful for the brass at the Fox corporation, but he had a daily radio show podcast. He still does. And he’s still going to do it for a couple more days, but he has 3.5 million viewers on rumble. And he has every attribute that you would want for a person in this position. He’s street smart. He’s intelligent. He’s committed to the constitution. And most importantly, he has done his research and, and he’s brought the receipts on too many scandals to even list. He was an officer for the NYPD, and then he was a Secret Service agent. He worked the protection detail for George W. Bush and Barack Obama. So right there you know that he’s nonpartisan. He just goes in and he does his job. He’s written several books, and the one he released in 2021, Follow the Money, is going to give you some insight into how he may conduct himself in his new role as deputy director of the FBI. The teaser on Amazon for Follow the Money reads as follows. It says, Follow the Money exposes the labyrinth of connections between D.C.’ ‘s slimiest swamp creatures, Democrat operatives, lying informants, desperate and destructive FBI agents, Obama power brokers, CIA renegade John Brennan, George Soros, and more, who conspired to attack Trump by manufacturing one bogus scandal after another. So if you’re a deep state operative who’s been involved with the Russian collusion hoax or any other false attack on Trump, or you’re a trafficker of any kind, or you’re engaged in corruption and criminal activity, no matter who you are or what position you hold in government, Bongino is going to have your number, and you should be very afraid. So I am just tickled pink with this FBI structure that we’ve got going on. I love it. So in other news, did you see, this is so funny to me, did you see Trump in the Oval Office talking about the Resolute Desk? The desk he was sitting at was different than the one that was there when he took office. And he was telling the press that the other desk was getting refurbished. He said he was getting a light refurbishment or whatever, and that it was one of seven desks that can be used in that office. Shortly after that, I saw something online that said Trump had the desk removed to be cleaned up after Elon Musk and his son, little X, were in there giving that press conference that you guys all saw. And that little X wiped a booger on it. OK, that’s what the story was, which I thought was hilarious. But I guess that wasn’t the case. And. Who knows? Maybe Little X did use the desk as his little finger scraper, but that’s not why the desk was switched out. This is very interesting because when you do a search for resolute desk removed from Oval Office, so you go to Google and you do that search, the first page of results is all about Trump being a germaphobe and how he had the desk removed. that had been there for 145 years and all the mainstream media is portraying Trump as some kind of a weird clean freak or whatever. Of course, they’re going to make it, you know, they’re going to turn it into a negative against Trump. But the second page of search results is where it gets interesting. So, of course, these results are from media people outside of the legacy media. So sites like AR15.com and godlikeproductions.com, trendsnews.com, theboresite.com, michaelcronin.com, and they’re all saying that the desk was removed because a security sweep of the Oval Office uncovered something suspicious in the desk. From a post on lunaticoutpost.com, it says, listening devices found in Oval Office. President’s desk removed for security scan, Washington, D.C., February 21, 2025. In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples through Washington, sources within the White House have confirmed that the Oval Office, including the historic Resolute Desk, was subject to a high-level security sweep following suspicions of covert surveillance. The sweep reportedly uncovered sophisticated listening devices, leading to the immediate removal of the President’s desk for a comprehensive off-site scan. A senior official speaking anonymously revealed that the discovery followed routine electronic countermeasures that detected unusual signals. He says, quote, the anomalies were subtle but consistent, enough to trigger a full investigation. He goes on, we couldn’t risk compromising the integrity of the president’s workspace. Specialized teams using cutting-edge radio frequency detection technology were dispatched and initial findings allegedly pointed to concealed audio surveillance devices hidden within the office. The resolute desk, gifted by Queen Victoria in 1880, was transported to a secure undisclosed location for thorough inspection by counterintelligence and forensic tech experts. Early reports suggest at least one miniature transmitter small enough to evade standard detection may have been embedded within the desk structure. Official confirmation of this discovery is still pending. White House spokesperson Emily Harrow declined to provide specifics, but confirmed that enhanced security measures had been put into effect. The administration takes all potential threats to national security seriously, Harrow stated at a presser. So what do you think about that? Would it really surprise anyone to learn that Trump’s being spied on again? Aren’t these people kind of desperate? And I think they’re going to pretty much do whatever they can get away with. And something, you know, they had a long time between Trump winning the election and him actually being inaugurated and taking over the Oval Office. They had a lot of time to do whatever they wanted to do. So there you go. If you want to talk about anything that I’m talking about today, you can give me a call, 303-477-5600. I’d love to chat with you about anything. So I had a really big section of today’s show dedicated once again to SB 25003, that ban on semi-automatic firearms. And I’ve seen conflicting viewpoints on whether or not this ban would include common use and like everyday carry handguns, such as the P365 by SIG or the Glock 19 or whatever. The first part of the bill reads as follows. It says the bill defines a, quote, specified semi-automatic firearm as a semi-automatic firearm or semi-automatic shotgun with a detachable magazine or a gas-operated semi-automatic handgun with a detachable magazine, okay? That’s what the top portion says. And I pulled the text off of the latest version of the bill, okay? And then lower in the bill, it says, It describes a semi-automatic firearm as, quote, semi-automatic firearm means a firearm that is not a machine gun and that upon initiating the firing sequence fires the first chambered cartridge and uses a portion of the energy of the firing cartridge to extract the expended cartridge case chamber the next round, and prepare the firing mechanism to fire again and requires a separate pull, release, push, or initiation of the trigger to fire each cartridge. Semi-automatic firearm includes a semi-automatic rifle, semi-automatic shotgun, or semi-automatic handgun. So it lists that at the same time. And then they use terms like gas-operated firearms. So they say stuff like semi-automatic rifle, semi-automatic shotgun, and gas-operated handgun. But in my mind, they can use the term gas-operated with a gun like a Glock or a SIG or a Staccato or whatever because technically it is gas that propels the bullet down the bore and out of the muzzle and then cycles the action and chambers the next round. So if you’re an attorney – or some other kind of expert in legalese, and you understand the way these cagey legislators, like, word things to get stuff snuck into law, can you please call? Because I would love to hear what your thoughts are on this. So there’s a whole school of thought that says that it’s not going to include semi-automatic handguns that are very common use, like we all have and carry and whatever. And then there’s a school of thought that says that it will. include those guns. So I would love to hear what you think. 303-477-5600. Please give me a call if you know what this stuff is all about and how they’re wording this. So on to a different topic. I read a headline this morning from Fox News that has me pretty irritated. The gears are, it’s grinding my gears and steaming my beans. It says, new bat coronavirus discovered in China sparks pandemic concerns. Although similar to SARS-CoV-2, the new virus is much less powerful, doctors say. The discovery of a new bat coronavirus in China has sparked concerns about another pandemic. The virus named HKU5-CoV-2 is similar to SARS-CoV-2. the virus that causes COVID-19, in that it targets the same human receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE2, according to a report in the South China Morning Post. HKU5-COV2 could potentially lead to human-to-human or even cross-species transmission, the researchers found. The research team was led by Zhangli Shi at the Guangzhou Laboratory in Guangdong, China. She, who is known as the Bat Woman, worked at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China, which came under fire as the potential source of COVID-19. The discovery of a new bat coronavirus in China has sparked concerns about another pandemic. This study, this is a quote, this study reveals a distinct lineage of HKU5CoVS in bats that efficiently use human ACE2 and underscores their potential zoonotic risk. The researchers wrote in a study which was published in the scientific journal Cell on February 18th. Researchers from the Guangzhou Academy of Sciences, Wuhan University, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology also contributed. In the study, HKU5-COV2 was found to infect human cells as well as artificially grown lung and intestine tissues, according to reports. Security personnel keep watch outside the Wuhan Institute of Virology during an investigation of the origins of COVID-19 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, on February 3, 2021. Dr. Mark Siegel, Clinton, you guys know him if you watch Fox News, clinical professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health and Fox News Senior Medical Analyst, noted that bats are known to harbor several different species of coronaviruses. In this case, Xi Zhengli discovered that a peepistrelis species of bats is carrying HKU5CoV2 coronaviruses that is a cousin of the MERS virus, which caused a limited outbreak in humans in 2012. Even as we continue to investigate potential human pathogens, it is very important that we not give in to fear. Got that? This particular strain has an ability to bind to the same receptor in the lungs, nose, and respiratory passages that allowed SARS-CoV-2 to infect humans. So there is a chance of what is known to zoonotic effect, spillover where the virus could also infect humans and go human to human, he confirmed. So there you go. If it’s not bird flu or monkeypox or whatever, we’re going to be, we’ll just come up with another one, right? So this HKU, I don’t know what the, we’ll shorten that to something and it’ll create a different disease, COVID-20 maybe, I don’t know. But it’s just maddening what these people are doing. I personally, I think that all of this research and this gain of function and everything that they’re doing, why do they, why, why do they do this? Because, and then they inject you with a vaccine that’s worse than, you know, what the disease was in the first place. To me, I don’t know. We’re all human. The human body is a miraculous machine. And I don’t really see why we can’t just, you know, we’ve got our polio and our measles and our mumps and rubella and all that stuff. Just leave it at that. We’ve got immune systems that are, well, they were pretty strong at one time until we started getting sprayed with chemicals in the sky and the chemicals in the food and water and whatever. So that’s a whole Robert F. Kennedy Jr. discussion there. But on to more health stuff. You guys, if you listen to this show, you know that this topic is just, it’s more than bean steaming to me. This is just complete madness. Children’s Hospital plans to restart gender-affirming care as Colorado joins lawsuit against the executive order. This story is by Heather Willard. Weeks after Denver Health announced it was pausing gender-affirming care to LGBTQIA, LMNOP, XYZ, that’s not what it says really, but people under 19 years old citing the potential to lose its federal funding, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced the state is joining a lawsuit against aimed at invalidating the executive order that threatened such funding. The executive order issued by President Donald Trump signed January 28th is part of a push to reverse Biden administration policies meant to protect transgender people and their care. It ordered agencies to take steps to make sure that hospitals receiving federal research and education grants end the chemical and surgical mutilation of children. Who could be against that, right? It goes on. The order was temporarily blocked on February 14th by a federal judge who said the executive order, quote, blatantly discriminated against trans youth. The White House executive order is not only illegal, but also cruel, Weiser said in a release on Wednesday. I’ve met with health care providers and parents, and they fear that if the executive order is allowed to stand in It will result in irreversible physical and mental harms for transgender youth. Let’s talk about irreversible physical harms, shall we? More on that in a second. It goes on. Parents in consultation with trusted medical providers know what is best for their child and should have the option to seek the care that their child needs to live their best lives, Wiser continued. Gender affirming care is legally protected health care in Colorado and with this lawsuit Colorado hospitals will again be free to provide critical care. wiser said that it’s not just Denver health that pause gender affirming care. The University of Colorado and shoots medical campus stopped providing puberty delaying medications and hormone therapy to patients who had been evaluated that had not yet started those therapies. Quote, denying access to medical care that is known to be safe and effective threatens the ability of transgender youth to thrive socially and academically, Weiser argued in his office’s release. Their marginalization will exacerbate dysphoria, mood symptoms, and ultimately may cause some previously stable transgender youth to attempt suicide, according to medical professionals. Children’s Hospital will restart gender-affirming care. Goodness gracious. I’m going to finish reading this when we get back, and I’m going to give you some of my never-to-be-humble opinion. We’ll be right back.

SPEAKER 04 :
And we are back. I was right in the middle of reading this article from KDVR, Fox 31, on Children’s Hospital deciding to just ignore President Trump’s executive order regarding gender-affirming care. I hate that term, but anyway, it is what it is. I’m going to talk a little bit more about this whole, just my opinions on this. But first, I’ve got Jim on the line. What do you got for me, Jim?
SPEAKER 02 :
Hey, yeah, talking about Cash Patel and Dan Bonaginio, or I can’t remember his name. It’s Bongino. Bongino, that’s it. So, you know, I’ll tell you what. I got all giddy when Cash Patel, and then when I saw Dan’s thing yesterday, about being a director, assistant director. I thought, wow. And did you see the stuff on TikTok about the CIA safe house?
SPEAKER 04 :
I did not.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay. They broke into some CIA safe house that had all these servers that the CIA was using, and they’re all connected to, to this whole COVID thing. I guess it’s got all kinds of stuff in there connected to the whole COVID thing and the cover-up on it. Oh, wow. Yeah, yeah, I thought it was pretty exciting. Yeah, and then did you see the thing about that four-star general that was shredding all these documents?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes, I did see that. It’s like 2 in the morning or something, and he’s in there shredding stuff.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. Well, anyway, so here’s what I’m thinking here, Karen. With these guys being in charge now, you know, the whole election thing for 2020, you know, I’m right there with you on that whole thing. And, you know, I’m going to tell you, I hope the FBI gets a hold of their servers or those computer machines for the elections in the 2020s. And I hope they find out that that thing, whole thing, was rigged. I really do.
SPEAKER 04 :
And I hope Tina Peters gets some justice for what she’s gone through. And I hope she sues the pants off of Jenna Griswold.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, I do too. And I’ll tell you what, that… You just what’s the name of that place that had that built those those computer things for the for the for the election?
SPEAKER 04 :
Dominion.
SPEAKER 02 :
Dominion. Oh, and I and I and I hope I hope they find out that Dominion and the CIA was involved in that whole thing. I hope Dominion, you know, Dominion got billions of dollars out of that whole out of that whole lawsuit. I’d love to see better than. I’d love nothing better than to see Dominion get caught up and find out that they were dirty and the owners of that Dominion end up going to prison.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and we know that he was. I mean, he was on camera saying that he’s already made sure that Trump’s not going to effing win. I mean, how much more proof do you need? And then all of them are connected to the Internet, and that was found out. Yeah.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah, so, yeah, I’m just real giddy about this whole thing. I’m just so excited. And then I was watching a thing on – with Adam Schiff during the confirmation for Cash Patel, and I’m going to tell you something. I hope he goes after Adam Schiff, too, and the rest of those guys.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 02 :
They are so dirty.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and with Dan Bongino because – Have you ever seen the speech that he gave? It was like a TED Talk, I think, or something. I can’t remember where he was or what he was doing, but he gave a speech. And he read every name in that whole entire Russia collusion hoax thing. He read every name, connected every dot. And the way he laid it out, it was unbelievable. And I watched the entire thing. And, you know, I’ve been listening to Dan Bongino for a really long time on his radio show and on his podcast. And so I know how he thinks. And these people should be shaking in their boots right now.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, I’m telling you. And, you know, here’s the other thing. I just told my wife this morning, too, Karen. You know, old Biden, he pardoned all these people. But the biggest question with all these pardons was he was pardoning them for – for stuff that they have not even been prosecuted for yet. And as far as I know, the only time pardons are good are for people that have already been sentenced or prosecuted and sentenced. And I hope all these people end up going down, and I hope it does go before the Supreme Court, because if it goes before the Supreme Court, I think they’re going to find it in favor of Donald Trump and all this stuff with these guys being crooked.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yep, absolutely, absolutely.
SPEAKER 02 :
You know what I’m saying?
SPEAKER 04 :
I’m here for it. I got my popcorn. I’m ready to watch and see what happens. And, you know, things are going to get crazy. They really are, but I’m here for it, whatever.
SPEAKER 02 :
Bring it on. I can’t even hardly wait to turn on the radio every morning and listen to all the new news coming out about what’s going on, you know?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yep, it’s a flood. It’s a flood. Drinking from a fire hose. I don’t even know how to put my show together anymore because there’s so much stuff. Jim, I appreciate your call. Thank you so much. You bet. Bye. So I’m going to continue on with this article with Colorado Children’s Hospital Restarting Gender Affirming Care. It says, on Thursday, Children’s Hospital Colorado, which is housed on the CU Anschutz Medical Campus, said it was aware of the state joining the federal lawsuit filed by the state of Washington. Children’s Hospital Colorado believes that families know what’s best for their child. The hospital told Fox 31 on Thursday, every family should have the right to access expert medical care to support their child’s well-being, including gender diverse youth. Because of the executive order issued on January 28th, we were forced to modify our model of gender affirming medical care for patients under 19 years of age. Real and immediate consequences for Colorado’s economy. The hospital noted that the temporary restraining order was provided to the states that had been involved in the case at the time, Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota. It says when the court extends the temporary restraining order to Colorado, Children’s Hospital will plan to resume gender-affirming medical care, including puberty blocking and hormone-based care on February 24th. Children’s Hospital told Colorado Fox 31. We are in the process of notifying affected families who depend on us for care. The hospital added that it continues to assess the rapidly changing legal and medical landscape of the United States and will provide the highest quality specialty pediatric care within the scope of the law. If you listen to this show, you know it is no mystery how I feel about this stuff. I believe that true gender dysphoria is extremely rare, only about 0.5% of the population, and is considered now to be a genetic disorder affecting the pathways of the brain relating to estrogen production. In a Newsweek article, a doctor is quoted as saying, a person’s gender identity is more likely the result of a complex interplay between multiple genes as well as, and get this, as well as environmental and societal factors. Okay. Well, no kidding. I’d like to say more of the environmental and societal factors are at play than anything. I mean, look at the celebrities, all of these celebrities. I can’t even, I think Will Smith and Charlize Theron and, um, Oh, what’s her face? Beatty. Warren Beatty and his wife. And Cher, obviously. She probably had the most famous trans kid. But what are the chances of all these celebrities having trans kids? I’m no statistician, but I’d say the chances are pretty freaking low. Personally, I think most, most, not all, but most celebrities of these kids become trans so they can stand out, especially the celebrity kids. They need to stand out. They need to be equal to their parents in stature for some reason, any reason. Or maybe normal kids that aren’t the child of a celebrity, they just want to defy their parents or they’re rebellious or whatever. It’s just a social statement or whatever. Like the furries. I mean, really? Has science ever explained why you think you’re a cat or a horse or whatever? You know what? If it’s a phase and they just go about their lives as if they’re the opposite gender, you know what? Have at it. Go for it. Have fun with it. Whatever. Dress as a boy. Cut all your hair off. You know, whatever. Dress as a girl. Wear makeup. Grow your hair out long. Whatever. It’s when teachers and psychotic parents who want a trans trophy child so they can fit in with their liberal progressive book club group or whatever. And then medical people get involved and start suggesting puberty blockers and hormone therapy programs. and ultimately surgery to a 9-year-old or even a 14- or 15-year-old, I don’t care how old they are. They’re not done growing, and they’re not done developing, and they’re certainly not done mentally developing. That’s completely unacceptable when those kids are still growing and developing. I can’t even comprehend the thought of surgically altering or mutilating a young child because they think they’re a boy when they were born a girl or vice versa. I can’t. The medical community has to do better at allowing these kids to finish growing, maybe offer some psychotherapy, you know, offer a bunch of other things before any kind of medication or hormone therapy or anything is introduced, and certainly before they whip out their scalpels and start hacking away. These progressive liberal doctors who perform these procedures on minors, they’re just beholden to to the Democrat Party and to Big Pharma, period. A trans individual who completes their transition, they’re dependent on the medical industrial complex for the rest of their lives. And I’ve seen countless interviews with people who have gone through the surgery who regret it more than anything in the world. And they know that they’re ill. They know that their bodies are not right. And they know that they’re not going to live very long. Why on earth are people fighting so hard for the ability for the medical community to perform transition surgery on kids? I see many of my Facebook friends saying, oh, everyone, just calm down. They’re not transitioning kids. Yes, they are. Yes, they are. And even if they don’t do the full surgery, they’re still transitioning. They’re still altering what their bodies are designed to do. Now, you’ve heard me talk about the depopulation agenda, and this is just part of it, in my opinion. And my opinions are not necessarily those of Crawford Broadcasting. You guys all know that. But think about it. What is the end result of transitioning a 12-year-old boy into a girl or vice versa? What’s the end result? First and foremost, that person will never be able to reproduce. That’s a given. When you start hacking off body parts… They’re not going to be able to reproduce, right? And when, I mean, I’m not even going to go into the female to male thing because it’s just, it’s something out of a horror movie, if you ask me. But the more kids that they convince that they’re trans, the more surgeries that they can perform, the more chronic need for mental health meds, and the fewer babies will be born. It’s pretty simple biology. Just like the gun debate. Instead of addressing the mental health crisis that’s responsible for the mass shootings and all the crazy stuff that happens, they just want to put a Band-Aid on it and say, well, you know, if this person shot up a school, then we’re just going to take all the guns. We’ll just take them all, and then nobody will have them, but they will. You know they will, and you know that this kind of stuff will continue to happen. Personally, I believe any parent who affirms their five-year-old’s assertion that they’re in the wrong body and then takes that kid to receive puberty blockers and continues on with this before the child reaches the age of 18 at the very youngest should be arrested and prosecuted. That’s what I think. It just steams my beans when I think that a person can get a tattoo or they can’t get a tattoo until they’re 18 because a tattoo is permanent. It’s altering your skin for life. But a 12-year-old can halt and redirect the course of nature that God intended and have her genitals removed at the age of 14 or 15? Isn’t that permanent? Good grief, these people are evil. Jenny, what do you got for me?
SPEAKER 05 :
Karen, you’re exactly right. Ditto on everything that you said. It steams your beans and it just makes me spit. Yes. This is part of cultural Marxism, and, you know, it’s like that octopus, that this is just one tentacle to moving us, you know, into this culture of Marxism. They have to destroy everything that is good. I want people to remember Phil Unweiser, because this is probably his fourth or whatever… jumping on the bandwagon to block some of Trump’s executive orders. One was citizenship, yeah, birthright citizenship, and now this one. And I know he’s done about three or four more. So he is putting his head in the ring for governor. And you know what? We’re sixth generation Coloradans, and I can’t stand another perverted governor in this state. And so we have to respond. On every one of these executive orders that he signs on to fighting against, we need to be writing them down. And then during campaigning for him, we just bring all of these out because he is totally evil. And I am sure it’s some you said money that’s probably backing him because he probably gets some of Norm Eisen’s money. Oh, I’m sure.
SPEAKER 04 :
Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, the whole entire thing is so backwards and flipped on its head and upside down, and just the whole entire state and how it’s run and these small pockets of centers, of population centers, and then the people who the town council members in Denver and the governor of Colorado, and we all know him and what he’s all about, and the legislature and the Boulder Town Council and everything. All these people are making all these decisions. for this state, we’re no different than California now. We really aren’t.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, they’re all outsiders, and I don’t think any one of them is a Colorado native. So they made their area that they came from, you know, such a utopia that they have to come and destroy our state. But these people have no moral compass. They have no baseline other than evil. They have to do this to God’s little creation, our children, because misery loves company. They can’t reproduce, so they have to recruit.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yep, absolutely. Absolutely, Jenny. You are 100% accurate. And I don’t know. God wins. We’ve got to figure this out.
SPEAKER 05 :
Absolutely. It is like we’ve always said. It’s a spiritual battle, you know, good versus evil, light versus dark. Absolutely.
SPEAKER 04 :
Absolutely. I’ll continue fighting if you continue fighting. I’m never, never going to stop, Jenny, never going to stop. Okay. God bless. So speaking of someone who may not be trans, that may look trans, it seems Joy Reed’s show on MSNBC, the readout has been canceled. I didn’t watch it. And I, you know, that, I don’t know. MSNBC is referring to it as a network overhaul. Now, if we can just get the view off of ABC, that’ll be another chink in the armor there. Megyn Kelly posted on X about this, and she says, quote, remember when Joy Reid laughingly mocked white women tears as pathetic and offensive to her? Who’s crying now, Joy? Good riddance to the absolute worst person on television. And shame on NBC for letting it go on this long. Libs of TikTok posted, Joy Reid has been fired. Turns out calling your political opponents racist Nazis every night for an hour doesn’t get viewers. Charlie Kirk posted, Joy Reid, a.k.a. the race lady at MSNBC, just had her show canceled because it was unwatchable. Good riddance to the most vitriolic, lowbrow, and unhinged race hustler ever allowed on national television. So no love lost here. See you later, Joyless Reed. I hope I don’t see your next project. If you end up once again on the wrong side of television, I will not be watching. It’s funny because most of us who know who she is, we only know who she is because we watch Fox News and we see clips of her shows on other shows like the Ingram Angle or Hannity or whatever. And I know they’re just showing those clips to showcase how much of a terrible person she is. But if I wanted to see her ugly mug, I’d go watch her show. But I don’t. So quit showing her. Well, I guess now you kind of have to because she’s not going to be on the air. But, you know, we still have to sit down and look at, you know, faces like Lemon or Limone or whatever the heck his name is. And, you know, he’s still out there and all these – who’s the other – the ladies that – I can’t remember their names. God, it’s driving me crazy. I can’t remember. The one that interviewed Trump, Margaret something. Anyway, it doesn’t matter. But we see all those clips all over Fox News. And, yeah, if I wanted to watch them, I’d watch their own shows. And as I was scrolling, I saw an X post that made me laugh. This made me laugh really hard, and I think I need to get a shirt made that says this. It says, Doge should be renamed to Federal Agency for Financial Oversight, or simply FAFO. I love that. What’s really great is that Elon Musk reposted it, so that makes it even better. And speaking of Doge, waste, fraud, and abuse, and all that, let’s talk about Jasmine Crockett for a minute. Now, she is just the latest liberal hack in the spotlight. She’s griping about Trump and Elon Musk and the Doge dividend. She was on the Breakfast Club radio show, and she said she wasn’t sure what $5,000 would do for us. Now, this, mind you, coming from a Texas lawmaker whose salary is around $174,000 a year, which isn’t a great deal of money. But here’s what’s interesting. Jasmine Crockett has a net worth around $9 million, and Now, any of you listening to this right now, if you make $174,000 a year, you’re probably not worth $9 million. Granted, I saw two websites, one of them being Snopes, that debunked this information, but I saw many, many others with charts and bios and family history and her career path and everything and her investments and all that stuff that claimed that this is an accurate number. So according to multiple sources, she owns a couple of properties in Texas, including a $1.5 million townhouse in Dallas and a waterfront cabin in Galveston worth, again, about $1.5 million. So I’m not going to tell you how much money my husband makes because it’s nobody’s business, but it’s more than $174,000, and our net worth isn’t $9 million. Okay, not even close. So I think these politicians get into some shady stuff through lobbyists and everything else, and they get their pockets lined. They do. They find a way. They do it. It just happens. Hey, you want to make sure you vote for this, and I’ll give you that, and they do this, and then all with the USAID and all the stuff. They’re getting money from other sources, period, end of story. And I hope every politician in office right now that has a net worth over a few million dollars should be audited with a fine-tooth comb. So I want to take a look at a couple of different politicians, and let’s gasp at their net worth together, shall we? I’m going to start by giving you the salaries of common of these leaders and stuff in the Senate and the House of Representatives. So the Speaker of the House of Representatives earns $223,500. Majority leader and minority leader of the House make 193. President pro tempore of the Senate makes 193. Senators and representatives make 174. Non-voting members of the United States House of Representatives make 174. These numbers are as of 2019 and 2018. The ones that I’m going to give you now, these are the top wealthiest members of the United States Congress. So this is through Open Secrets. So these numbers are relatively accurate. And like I said, these are from a few years ago. These do not adjust for inflation or cost of living raises or whatever. This is what it is according to 2019 numbers. So I’m not going to read them all, but I’m just going to read the top few and then kind of give you my insight as to what’s going on. So Kevin Hearn is his name. He’s a Republican from Oklahoma. He is worth $361 million. Rick Scott of Florida makes 250, or his net worth is 259 million. Mitt Romney, I’m just going to give you familiar names that I knew. Mitt Romney, Republican from Utah, Republican in name only, I will call him Rhino. He’s worth $174 million. Let’s see. We have Nancy Pelosi, Democrat out of California. She’s worth $114 million. And then we have Ron Johnson. He’s worth $78 million. Let’s see. Mitch McConnell. He’s worth $34 million. Let’s see. Let’s see. Rick Allen, Joe Kennedy. So they just kind of go down. They gradually get smaller and smaller as we go down the line here. Let me see. Jim Cooper. Michael Bennett is worth $15 million. Let’s see. Mike Conley. So I guess that’s it. And there was another page that did not print. But anyway, there was one name on this list that kind of fascinated me, and it was other politicians who are worth lots and lots of money. And of course, Jared Polis was on that list. He’s worth $388 million, and it also gives the reason why they’ve got all this money. So historical figures, George Washington’s in there and Thomas Jefferson and whatever, and they’re the reason for their wealth there. It’s family wealth. Obviously, the Rockefellers are in there and their family wealth and all that stuff. But as you all know, Jared Polis was the founder of 1-800-PRO-FLOWERS or proflowers.com or whatever. But $388 million. Good grief. That’s a lot of money. And one that fascinated me, and the only reason why I even know this place that she runs is because we take our dogs there, but I had no idea that Heidi Ganahl – was the founder and CEO of Camp Bow Wow. Do you guys ever take your dogs to the kennel? So there’s several that you can go to, and the kennels are just, I don’t know, kennels are kennels, but Camp Bow Wow was our favorite, and that’s where we ended up taking our dogs, but I had no idea. I had no idea that she was the founder and CEO of that, so. So these are the names that I listed, and there’s still more on my list. I didn’t go over all of them, but these are former and current politicians who have gained incredible wealth through different means. And Hillary Clinton, believe it or not, is not on the list, and she’s highly suspect, of course. And her name was on a different list, and it said that she gained her wealth from speaking engagements and books. And her book signing and her books that she’s published or whatever, but I think it was like $12 million, $11 or $12 million is what she’s worth. But there are a couple here that were too poor to make the list, so I’m going to look at a couple of those. Elizabeth Warren – So she and her husband, and I’ve told you that I know she takes money from Big Pharma. It’s the way it is. She’s the one that’s out there screeching the loudest about everything. So she’s about RFK Jr. and the Maha movement. But she and her husband, Bruce Mann, both longtime law professors, hold much of their wealth in retirement accounts. Their TIAA and CREF accounts available to educators and nonprofit employees are worth at least $4 million. They own two homes, a $3 million Victorian in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and an $800,000 condo in Washington, D.C., worth $12 million. That’s her net worth. So this is directly from Forbes.com, what I just read you. And what’s funny is the first search result in a fact check is, saying that Warren isn’t worth $12 million. So that’s interesting. So you go to Forbes, and this is what it says on Forbes, but you do a search, and Google’s like, nope, nope, she’s not worth that much. So which is it, right? So Nancy Pelosi, along with her husband, venture capitalist Paul Pelosi, has an estimated net worth of more than $230 million, right? according to Quiver Quantitative. As Speaker of the House, Pelosi earned $223,000 annually and now earns $174,000 annually as a member of Congress. Stocks in Pelosi’s portfolio include shares of Apple, valued between $25 million and $50 million, stocks in Microsoft, Salesforce, Google, and Amazon with each holding worth between 5 million and 25 million. And I’m sure that there was absolutely no insider trading or being the recipient of major kickbacks from laundered foreign aid and USAID bogus program money. None of that, none of that is happening with any of these people. And there’s a, um, If you search AOC net worth, it’s interesting to do these searches because you see what the Google search, first page search results will show you, and then you go a little bit deeper, and then you find these publications that say, yeah, they’re totally worth what you think they’re worth, $9 million, $12 million, or in Nancy Pelosi’s case, $230 million. So I don’t have time to go into all the other uber-rich politicians who make a modest salary, but you get the idea. And until I did the search, I didn’t know that there were voting and non-voting members of the House of Representatives. I don’t even know what that means. I thought that if you were a member of the House of Representatives that you got to vote on things, but evidently that’s not the case. So since I was suspicious of these politicians’ wealth and thought about the whole laundering thing as soon as Doge uncovered all these ridiculous programs within USAID and many, many others, as we’re finding out, that a lot of mainstream media outlets are covering this information with the same kind of hairy eyeball that I had at the very beginning. As soon as I heard that USAID had these programs, and you’ve heard me list them off on this show, I think I did it twice and played audio for you from the Doge reports and all that kind of stuff. So you understand that these programs, This money is not going to some guy that’s checking the swivel rate of an office chair. He’s not getting $4 million to check the swivel rate of the office chairs. You know that. So where is that money going? It’s just insanity to me. As I stated before, I don’t ever want to hear a single wealthy politician again ever calling for the rich to pay their fair share. or calling for tax hikes, or anything ever again that requires we the people to open our wallets so they can scrape out every last penny that we have. It is absolute lunacy what these people have gotten away with for so long, and the staggering amount of money that they’ve pilfered from the taxpayers. After the waste, fraud, and abuse was uncovered, I’m hoping that that’s a genie that will never be stuffed back in the bottle. The word is out, and I think most people are pretty ticked off about it. One thing that really gets me is the fact that these legislators will receive a lifetime pension after their public service. Yet they say Social Security, the stuff that we can, you know, normal people would rely on to fund our lives after we retire is going to dry up. What am I talking about? It’s already dried up. They took all the money probably a long time ago for their pet projects and to pad their own wallets and buy mansions and everything else. It is such a tangled web of corruption, and I’m not sure it’s ever going to be completely untangled. So I’m going to talk real briefly. I know we’re about out of time, but I want to talk about Fort Knox. So Trump is going to visit Fort Knox with Elon Musk, and I’m getting Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone’s vault vibes right now. I don’t know why. where he opened up the vault, found nothing. That’s going to be interesting. If Fort Knox has no gold, oh boy, that’s going to be a big deal. So that’s going to do it for me today, you guys. Thanks for spending the last 58 minutes with me in the fastest hour of broadcasting. Remember to get your concealed handgun training before July 1st.
