Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth leads a lively and wide-ranging conversation tackling the cultural and political narratives behind the “No Kings” protests. With humor and sharp commentary, Andy and the crew unpack the messaging surrounding protests, media framing, and public perception—highlighting what they see as contradictions in the rhetoric.
The discussion shifts into deeper territory as the group explores generational attitudes toward marriage, finances, and having children. Is affordability a valid concern, or has culture overcorrected into fear and delay? The team debates what it really means to be “ready” for a family and whether modern priorities are
00:00:05 Speaker 2
This is rush to reason.
00:00:08 Speaker 1
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because.
00:00:11 Speaker 1
I got you begged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared, but you’re scared. Because if you try and fail, there’s only view to blood. Let me break this down. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical.
00:00:26 Speaker 3
Fixes with your host John Rush my advice.
00:00:31 Speaker 4
You used to do what your parents did. Get a job.
00:00:35 Speaker 5
You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same.
00:00:38 Speaker 5
And there’s a big.
00:00:38 Speaker 3
Difference.
00:00:39 Speaker 6
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What? You know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
00:00:53 Speaker 8
Are you crazy?
00:00:55 Speaker 9
Am I or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
00:01:00 Speaker 7
It’s Russ to reason with your host John Rush presented by Cub Creek heating and air conditioning.
00:01:07 Speaker 10
Filling in is Andy Pate party of choice.
00:01:11 Speaker 11
And.
00:01:13 Speaker 12
Am I on?
00:01:15 Speaker 12
I can’t hear me. Just a second here and I’m your host, Andy Page filling in there. I am. I just came on filling in for John Rush. I’m joined.
00:01:22 Speaker 12
By Tanner.
00:01:22 Speaker 12
Cole and Ashley. Kurt here. That’s right. That’s right. Once again, Tanner, we are out numbered by Ashley. She is more powerful than we are. I I recognize this. I’m married. I know what it’s like. OK.
00:01:35 Speaker 12
Did you guys go to a no King’s protest?
00:01:37 Speaker 13
I went to all of them.
00:01:38 Speaker 12
Across every state, every every single one across. You know, I thought I saw pictures of you.
00:01:40 Speaker 13
Yeah.
00:01:41 Speaker 14
Simultaneously.
00:01:43 Speaker 13
Everywhere. Yeah, I I’m starting to get paid to go to these. So it’s been really nice. It’s an extra income they pay for me to travel across the US.
00:01:50 Speaker 14
In a van? Ohh yeah. You know, I saw the Craigslist ad, but I don’t think I responded in enough time.
00:01:51 Speaker 12
That’s wonderful.
00:01:55 Speaker 12
Yeah, yeah. Is it your baby?
00:01:58 Speaker 13
It’s more of the opposite. Yeah, we’re the opposite.
00:02:01 Speaker 2
Jesus.
00:02:02 Speaker 12
OK, I wanna you know, we’re gonna get in, have a little bit of fun here because there was an e-mail that went around about pick up lines at no kings. But first I just want to ask you guys a few questions here. How many kings? Lower taxes. Oh, OK.
00:02:18 Speaker 12
How many kings shrink government?
00:02:21 Speaker 14
Hmm, I don’t think any.
00:02:22 Speaker 12
Have ohh OK how many kings take no paycheck?
00:02:26 Speaker 13
None.
00:02:26 Speaker 14
Not a single one.
00:02:27 Speaker 12
There’s not a single one. Yeah. OK. I mean, how many kings build new wings on the palace with private donations?
00:02:27 Speaker 13
Ohh, they sit on the gold.
00:02:38 Speaker 12
This is fun. I mean, this is incredible. We have the most non King president ever, but let’s keep going. How many kings push for free and fair elections?
00:02:48 Speaker 13
None.
00:02:49 Speaker 14
I don’t think I’ve seen Charles doing that.
00:02:51 Speaker 12
No, I don’t think so. Here’s one. Here’s one how many kings want more peasants to be armed to have guns? How many kings want more peasants to have guns? In fact, let’s let’s you know. Go a little further. How many white supremacists want more black people to own guns?
00:02:52 Speaker 13
You don’t even have them.
00:03:10 Speaker 13
None.
00:03:10 Speaker 14
Yeah, I can’t say I’ve I’ve seen that post.
00:03:13 Speaker 12
Yeah, folks, if you’re listening out there, please write these down or something because everything’s said about Donald Trump is wrong. Everything. Let’s let’s see here how many kings favor homeschooling over government schooling?
00:03:27 Speaker 13
None.
00:03:28 Speaker 12
None. I can guarantee you every, every king would love to have government schools tell the kids what to.
00:03:35 Speaker 15
Believe you. Ever.
00:03:36 Speaker 12
You ever heard of this place called North Korea? Just saying.
00:03:38 Speaker 14
You know, I think I might have heard of it in.
00:03:40 Speaker 14
Passing.
00:03:41 Speaker 12
You can learn the March there. It’s really cool. OK, how many kings prefer private media over public media?
00:03:49 Speaker 14
Not a one.
00:03:49 Speaker 12
Man, I guess PBS. Are you kidding? That’s the greatest thing in the world. If you’re a king, none. There is absolutely nothing about Donald Trump that is king. Like nothing, nothing. He is absolutely the the the polar opposite of a king. And yet these imbeciles want to call him a king.
00:04:08 Speaker 12
That let’s talk about pick up lines.
00:04:12 Speaker 12
And this is called 11 and from the Babylon Bee 11 pick up lines for getting chicks at A at a no kings rally. OK alright.
00:04:21 Speaker 14
You ready to take notes?
00:04:22 Speaker 14
Tanner.
00:04:22 Speaker 12
Yeah, take notes, Tanner because.
00:04:24 Speaker 13
Got they got the wrong hair colors.
00:04:26 Speaker 12
Yeah, I mean now now you know.
00:04:29 Speaker 12
Yeah. And underarm too. Gosh. Yeah. I mean, these are natural women at these. No King’s rallies. OK, here we go.
00:04:37 Speaker 12
I also hate Trump, and I can’t coherently explain why it’s important to point out what you have in.
00:04:45 Speaker 12
Common. What do you think?
00:04:47 Speaker 14
You know, it’s a it’s a solid basis for flirting.
00:04:47 Speaker 12
Now be honest, Ashley. Ashley, would that kind of get you going, I mean.
00:04:51 Speaker 12
You’re just kind of like, yeah.
00:04:53 Speaker 14
Yeah, yeah. You know, maybe if I was at a no King’s protest and my husband came up to me and said that, yeah, you know, I I could. I could see the common ground.
00:04:59 Speaker 12
Think so?
00:05:01 Speaker 11
OK.
00:05:01 Speaker 12
Right next one and some are better than others. Are your Perkins stocks making your feet sore because you’ve been running through my mind all?
00:05:08 Speaker 13
Day. I hate those shoes.
00:05:11 Speaker 14
Are those your like your terror shoes? Mine.
00:05:13 Speaker 13
If I.
00:05:14 Speaker 14
Are Crocs? I hate Crocs. OK. You hate.
00:05:16 Speaker 13
Suck.
00:05:18 Speaker 14
Crocs. I cannot stand.
00:05:19 Speaker 12
Crocs. I’ve never had them, but.
00:05:21 Speaker 12
I’m going to get some just to annoy you. OK, now this.
00:05:25 Speaker 12
One’s a little.
00:05:25 Speaker 12
More direct. Hey, there, do you identify?
00:05:28 Speaker 12
As a woman.
00:05:31 Speaker 13
Never gonna get response to that one.
00:05:33 Speaker 4
Well, you just.
00:05:33 Speaker 12
Don’t want to. I mean, look, you just don’t want any crying game surprises later on. OK, here’s one we should set up a play date for our vegan trans cats.
00:05:45 Speaker 12
That’s just kind of touching and and it says here sometimes the quickest way to a girl’s heart is through her non binary pets. OK, next.
00:05:52 Speaker 14
I’m sorry, did you just assume their gender?
00:05:56 Speaker 14
The girls.
00:05:56 Speaker 14
Thunder.
00:05:58 Speaker 14
She’s got 9 binary cats. She’s probably non binary so.
00:05:58 Speaker 16
Well.
00:06:00 Speaker 12
You’re hitting on. It says for getting chicks, chicks, chicks.
00:06:06 Speaker 14
I don’t think.
00:06:06 Speaker 13
Yeah, my transgender dog that’s also a vegan can hang out with your gender neutral cat.
00:06:06 Speaker 14
Anyone at these protesters? That’s our.
00:06:13 Speaker 12
Exactly. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria. OK, here we go. Next. I don’t want to brag.
00:06:13
Perfect.
00:06:19 Speaker 12
But I want.
00:06:20 Speaker 12
OK, just give me a moment. I don’t wanna brag, but I once bench I once bench press 20 lbs.
00:06:22 Speaker 14
Oh no, this one’s breaking, Andy.
00:06:28 Speaker 13
Stop.
00:06:31 Speaker 13
It’s not even.
00:06:31 Speaker 13
A bar. It’s not even.
00:06:34 Speaker 4
The bar, have you seen?
00:06:35 Speaker 12
Some of the guys with these things, they are not the rock. OK, what’s your favorite episode of the View? No kings, but yes, Queen, am I right?
00:06:49 Speaker 12
The smooth operator. OK, here we go. I I love the way the wind blows through your pink and green hair.
00:06:55
Yeah.
00:06:56 Speaker 12
Which, by the way, the wind doesn’t blow through their hair. OK, it’s like a wall. It’s stiff as.
00:07:00 Speaker 12
Asks. Have you seen this?
00:07:02 Speaker 14
Yeah, I don’t know how they do that.
00:07:04 Speaker 12
Yeah, I don’t either. Crazy glue. That’s that. They mix with food dye.
00:07:06 Speaker 14
It’s just it’s.
00:07:10 Speaker 14
It must be.
00:07:11 Speaker 12
It’s it’s awful, OK, I couldn’t help but notice you’re insane screaming from across the street.
00:07:19 Speaker 12
I think that would be good. I couldn’t help but notice you’re insane screaming from across the street. I’m telling you what this is going to work. Just two more. Want to go grab an oat milk latte and avocado toast after the rally. Thoughtful and romantic. OK. And the last one? You’re the most beautiful.
00:07:23 Speaker 1
Excuse me.
00:07:37 Speaker 12
Woman I’ve seen since Hillary Clinton.
00:07:43 Speaker 12
Well, I’m telling you what it says. Once you drop this baby on her, she’ll be yours. What do you think, Tanner, would you?
00:07:48 Speaker 12
Try.
00:07:48 Speaker 13
It probably not. I see enough conservative guys with microphones go up to these people and like, I also believe that women should have the rights to their body and then he they’re like, yeah, you should March.
00:08:01 Speaker 13
Did this and they asked him, like, so what’s a woman then? And then they just they can’t respond. So I mean, it’s all backwards hypocrisy. However, at the LA one this weekend, some guy flew a plane over it with a, I don’t know what to call it. But like the little message behind it said.
00:08:13 Speaker 12
Ohh I heard this.
00:08:18 Speaker 13
Not a king. He’s your daddy. So they didn’t like that.
00:08:22 Speaker 13
And.
00:08:23 Speaker 12
I love that 1. I loved it.
00:08:23 Speaker 13
How many people are going to see that versus this, you know, March of 1000 people or?
00:08:27 Speaker 12
Whatever. But yeah. Well, anyway, I I would say these people are pretty insane. MMM. And I I think this is starting to wear thin. I think society is looking at them because first of all, people know so many of them.
00:08:40 Speaker 13
Are paid well and a lot of them are older like they’re not my age.
00:08:44 Speaker 13
For our.
00:08:44 Speaker 12
Age. They’re not my age. Yeah, and I’m. I’m. Look at me. I’m. I’m. I’m near dead. OK. I could go any moment.
00:08:46 Speaker 13
Some of them in the 70s.
00:08:52 Speaker 12
And you, you’re both ready to finish the show, just in case, right? I mean, if that. OK, good. While you’re here. But you know, I.
00:08:56 Speaker 14
Yep, pepped ready to go.
00:09:00 Speaker 16
Mean.
00:09:00 Speaker 14
I mean, like you, I don’t.
00:09:01 Speaker 9
These these.
00:09:01 Speaker 12
People look like they’re 190 years old.
00:09:04 Speaker 14
When you’ve touched on it, I saw maybe.
00:09:07 Speaker 14
Four or five posts leading up to the protest, a couple of posts on the day of the protest and then since then, my Facebook timeline is just silent and I have very liberal friends on Facebook and it is.
00:09:18 Speaker 14
No posts about this protest. Nothing. It is dead silent.
00:09:22 Speaker 12
Now it’s going nowhere. It’s going nowhere. And Speaking of 190 years old on the line right now is John from Cheyenne. John, how you doing there, guy?
00:09:30 Speaker 16
Andy, I’m only four years older than you.
00:09:33 Speaker 12
Speak fast while you can.
00:09:35 Speaker 16
I I I came up with one while I was driving, but I’m stealing it from one of the great comedians of all time.
00:09:39 Speaker 2
Oh.
00:09:44 Speaker 12
OK.
00:09:45 Speaker 16
And see if you can remember what movie this was from, and maybe you must have. Hey, baby, you must have been something before the Internet.
00:09:48 Speaker 12
I’ll do my best.
00:09:53 Speaker 12
Oh, that is Rodney Dangerfield.
00:09:56 Speaker 4
Yes.
00:09:57 Speaker 12
Come on, man. Come on.
00:09:59 Speaker 7
Who are you talking to?
00:10:01 Speaker 16
Yeah, I know. I’m talking to Ashley. That was it. And Patty Shack it was, but that was 30 years ago. So we got to upgrade to the Internet.
00:10:04 Speaker 12
I thought it was electricity anyway.
00:10:13 Speaker 12
Well, that’s true. That’s that’s true. That’s true. But Ashley.
00:10:17 Speaker 16
No.
00:10:17 Speaker 12
Go ahead.
00:10:18 Speaker 16
Ashley, go back and look at the late 80s women’s hairstyles and ask them how they had their hair stand up and not move for six hours in the bar.
00:10:19
Yeah.
00:10:30 Speaker 14
Ohh yeah, I’ve seen my mom’s hairstyle from the 80s.
00:10:34 Speaker 16
OK. Oh, God, I was probably.
00:10:37 Speaker 16
Dating someone your mom’s age in the 80s, that’s old.
00:10:37 Speaker 17
OK.
00:10:40 Speaker 12
OK. We can’t we we can’t say why because it’s it’s dirty and gross, but the best. The best sight gag with the hair sticking up ever in a movie has to be from. There’s something about Mary.
00:10:52 Speaker 12
Am I right?
00:10:53 Speaker 16
Oh.
00:10:53 Speaker 4
Yeah, yes, yes anyway.
00:10:54 Speaker 16
Ohh can I have that gel?
00:10:59 Speaker 16
Last one, Andy’s last one, you’ll enjoy this.
00:11:02 Speaker 16
Go ahead.
00:11:04 Speaker 16
If you want to kick a man in the family jewels at a no King’s rally, you have to kick his wife’s purse.
00:11:15 Speaker 14
Amazing.
00:11:15 Speaker 3
No, John.
00:11:17 Speaker 12
John puts it through the uprights, yes.

God’s Country Reason now back to John.
00:15:31 Speaker 12
Brush and welcome back to US threes in Denver’s afternoon rush. Kale Z560. Any paint filling in for John Russell, Ron with Ashley Cart and Tanner Cole? That’s right, he’s all man.
00:15:42 Speaker 12
Dinner. You can’t go to those things because just hundreds of women are running after you.
00:15:48 Speaker 13
Yeah, that’s part of the problem. But then.
00:15:50 Speaker 12
They don’t look like women.
00:15:52 Speaker 13
Yeah, exactly. I’d be out of there at heartbeat like my brother.
00:15:56 Speaker 12
You know it it also it kind of surprises me. You will even have some of these like super hot women from Hollywood will go to these things, but they’ll go to them and they barely have any makeup and they look like a guy. And just like they’re going through the Miley Cyrus.
00:16:03 Speaker 13
Mm-hmm.
00:16:10 Speaker 12
Change.
00:16:10 Speaker 13
MHM.
00:16:11 Speaker 12
Remember.
00:16:12 Speaker 12
Midway through her career, when she just went all Shocky air weirdness.
00:16:15 Speaker 13
Right.
00:16:17 Speaker 12
Yeah, I don’t like that.
00:16:18 Speaker 13
OK. Or Shari’s kid?
00:16:20 Speaker 12
Yeah. So that’s wow. OK. The OK, this is rather interesting and I’m just going to let I think, I don’t know if it’s Maria. No, it isn’t. I forget the name of the host. I’m sorry, folks. This is from Fox News listening.
00:16:21 Speaker 13
It’s like 50 now.
00:16:37 Speaker 21
Right.
00:16:38 Speaker 21
And family.
00:16:39 Speaker 22
Much.
00:16:40 Speaker 23
If you’re not encouraging your children to grow up and have the courage to get married and have kids more kids than they can afford before they think they’re ready, it is high time to start. It is these choices, like deleting our dating apps and putting birth control pills and saying I do at the altar that ultimately trickle down into the political policies that we will see.
00:17:00 Speaker 23
Save our country.
00:17:01 Speaker 12
OK, now that was Isabelle Brown, and she was at CPAC. OK, and I wanted to ask you guys this because she’s talking about your age group, not mine. And this is kind of weird for me. For those who don’t know, I’m 62, I’m retired. I have no kids. I’ve never had kids. OK, nothing against it. I love kids.
00:17:21 Speaker 12
I just it’s never happened and.
00:17:24 Speaker 12
And.
00:17:24 Speaker 12
She is saying that have more than they can afford before they are ready. Now, why do you think she’s saying?
00:17:31 Speaker 14
That, I mean, I think it’s just it’s more for the.
00:17:37 Speaker 14
Expression of it. When you hear people, especially in like our age bracket Gen. Z, the biggest excuse to not have kids is well I can’t afford kids, I can barely afford to survive myself. I can’t afford to have kids.
00:17:49 Speaker 12
OK. So you don’t think she’s really saying have more than you can afford before you can and all this? What she’s really trying to do is put.
00:17:56 Speaker 12
Back on the big excuses right for having.
00:17:58 Speaker 14
Yeah, I think so, personally.
00:17:59 Speaker 13
Kids, I mean, you can only have kids for so many years as a woman. A man. You get a little more leeway. But for a woman, there’s only so many years you have the availability to do it, so might as well hop on it while you can. If you want to.
00:18:13 Speaker 12
OK.
00:18:14 Speaker 13
What you’re saying, like by like, 40, you’re not guaranteed.
00:18:18 Speaker 12
Now all these women at the No King’s rally were they yelling breed with me as they ran behind you.
00:18:23 Speaker 13
You’re probably yelling bleed with.
00:18:25 Speaker 12
Me. Ohh. OK. I just wondering because they’re kind of weird. Anyway, I wanna ask what you guys kind of think about this because there is this prevailing notion and I actually think they make very.
00:18:35 Speaker 12
Point.
00:18:36 Speaker 12
That we got to have more kids. I mean, obviously a society isn’t going to do too.
00:18:41 Speaker 12
Well, if you don’t.
00:18:42 Speaker 14
Right, yeah.
00:18:42 Speaker 12
You’re going to go down and right now. Our society is especially in some circles, I would say conservative circles is having too few kids per family. What do you?
00:18:52 Speaker 14
Think, Ashley, I would agree. I mean, you know, I’ve seen a couple of my friends.
00:18:56 Speaker 14
You know, getting married, having kids, but it’s not.
00:19:00 Speaker 14
The priority that it used to be and you know that there’s a lot of things to be said about that where it’s, you know, women are focusing more on careers and having jobs and again, it is expensive. So 22 income households are how you survive, right. But again, it kind of leads to that thing of, you know, my husband and I have been talking about having kids for a while. And one of the things is, OK, well, we need to have our financials at least a little bit of.
00:19:02 Speaker 12
Right.
00:19:22 Speaker 14
English.
00:19:23 Speaker 14
Before we can do that, but.
00:19:24 Speaker 12
Yeah, I I am gonna be checking. I mean, you’re married. I’m gonna be checking in annually to see if.
00:19:28 Speaker 12
You’re hitting your quota, is that?
00:19:30 Speaker 14
OK, sure. Yeah. No problem. Whatever. Whatever floats your boat, Andy.
00:19:33 Speaker 12
Whatever. No. Keep going, though. You. You gotta look at the budget.
00:19:37 Speaker 14
We we you have to look at the budget, but there’s a it’s a very distinct thing that we have both agreed on. It’s we’re never going to be rich enough for kids. We’re never going to.
00:19:47 Speaker 14
Perfectly ready for kids? It’s can we survive? Can we provide? Yes. OK, great. Now we can have kids. That’s why I’m saying she’s probably not saying have more kids than you can afford because you want to be able to provide for them. But it’s that thing of you’re never going to be in your own mind, rich and enough for.
00:20:03 Speaker 12
Kids. OK. All right, Tanner, what do you think now?
00:20:06 Speaker 12
You are not.
00:20:07 Speaker 2
Married. No.
00:20:09 Speaker 12
You are married to all.
00:20:10 Speaker 12
Women.
00:20:11 Speaker 12
Everywhere.
00:20:12 Speaker 13
They’re conservative ones and then those who aren’t as crazy.
00:20:16 Speaker 13
The.
00:20:18 Speaker 12
Ohh OK, not as crazy liberals.
00:20:20 Speaker 13
I seem to have only dated a liberal woman somehow.
00:20:23 Speaker 14
Do you have an I can fix them complex?
00:20:23 Speaker 12
I’m sorry.
00:20:25 Speaker 13
No, I have a you’re dumb and.
00:20:30 Speaker 12
I was looking for a really dumb lady.
00:20:32 Speaker 13
I mean, I haven’t really dated a girl in a long time just because I don’t trust most of them in the first place.
00:20:37 Speaker 12
You know, it’s really bad by the way. My wife acted dumb, so I’d marry her. Then I got the ring on and that that changed. But you OK? What do you think, Tanner, about young people? Because.
00:20:50 Speaker 12
How do I put this? I think there’s a lot of pressure on young people right now in the conservative movement to have kids getting kids, make kids OK what it it’s almost like some of the conservative movement. Look at you guys as breeders. All right. I mean, seriously. And.
00:21:06 Speaker 12
I I’m not against I I I honestly think they’re right. I think it’s terrible how our society has gone away from wanting kids.
00:21:13 Speaker 13
Right. I mean it’s just back to the kind of traditional values seem like everyone had in the world in the last 20-30 years. That’s changed a lot.
00:21:22 Speaker 13
Whereas it just seems like people don’t value kids as much, they want their own career. Maybe or.
00:21:28 Speaker 13
Don’t want to get married because they have their own career, so then the kids don’t follow. But I mean, you see in other countries across the world like China was doing their one child policy, they had to revert that. Yeah. And then Japan’s falling apart as well. They don’t have enough people getting married or even dating. So it’s not just us, but we don’t want to.
00:21:36 Speaker 12
It’s a disaster.
00:21:45 Speaker 13
Do that so we kind of collectively need to maybe start having kids. I understand the people that like, oh, I don’t have the money. I don’t have the money. I couldn’t raise a kid right now. I’d love to. And definitely when I was in high school, I thought probably about now I’d be getting married, maybe thinking about.
00:22:01 Speaker 13
Kids, OK.
00:22:02 Speaker 13
But I mean, like I said before, there’s there’s only so much time you really have to have kids.
00:22:07 Speaker 13
OK, so if you want them I and you’re married or you’re about to be married. I think it’s way more worth it than not. That’s gonna.
00:22:13 Speaker 13
Be the biggest blessing in your life. OK well.
00:22:14 Speaker 14
And I mean, you do have a point about that Tanner. She’s addressing Gen. Z specifically. Gen. Z is 22 to 35 years old right now, right.
00:22:22 Speaker 13
Prime time.
00:22:23 Speaker 14
So that’s. Yeah, that’s prime time for kids.
00:22:25 Speaker 12
OK, well, let’s.
00:22:26 Speaker 12
Listen to what the view had to say and guys, I just you know, they do use some feminine body parts in their discussions.
00:22:35 Speaker 12
Charlie, be ready if you have to. I don’t think it’s a problem, but I just want to make sure. Here we go.
00:22:41 Speaker 21
Well, unsurprisingly, the Co hosts of the view were quick to lash out at her.
00:22:45 Speaker 21
And her comments watch.
00:22:47 Speaker 5
What is he? What the? What? What, what, what?
00:22:52 Speaker 5
So my ultimate beef with this is that it wraps a woman’s worth up in her ovaries.
00:22:57 Speaker 10
Bottom line, if you’re not paying my bills, you don’t get to tell me what I do.
00:23:02 Speaker 24
With my uterus, I I think it’s just really reckless to be suggesting.
00:23:08 Speaker 24
That people should have children when you now know in this country there’s this affordability crisis. So she’s advocating for people to be born into poverty, people not being able to feed those children, people not being able to educate those children and and people not being able to house those children.
00:23:24 Speaker 12
OK, wait a minute now, I think.
00:23:25 Speaker 12
There’s good and.
00:23:26 Speaker 12
Bad here. OK. The first two things I think are ridiculous. I I just want to ask, did she say a woman’s only value is having?
00:23:34 Speaker 12
Yeah. I mean, did no, Isabelle Brown? Ohh no. Did Isabel cause they’re saying that Isabelle Brown is basically saying, you know, your only value is your ovaries? OK, did Isabelle Brown say?
00:23:34 Speaker 14
No.
00:23:44 Speaker 14
That no, no.
00:23:45 Speaker 12
I didn’t hear anything like that. So first of all, they’re.
00:23:48 Speaker 12
Lying right.
00:23:49 Speaker 12
Which no.
00:23:49 Speaker 13
Surprise, they also said. I read an article by Fox News about the situation.
00:23:54 Speaker 13
Sure, it was sunny hosting or one of the ****** on there. She said that every household needs 400K.
00:24:03 Speaker 13
To pay for a child my parents didn’t have that 20.
00:24:06 Speaker 14
No, my parents didn’t.
00:24:07 Speaker 25
4.
00:24:07 Speaker 13
100K how is that impossible for a joint? I mean, I understand how it’s possible but.
00:24:11 Speaker 12
Well, I’m sure her kids, you know, each have their own Ferrari, so it’s a little different. And by the way, sunny Hoston though was the last one on there. I thought she was the one who actually made a pretty good point because she was talking about affordability, right? She was talking about what you were talking about. And so I don’t look at all the ladies on the view on this question. I do look at them as all insane.
00:24:14 Speaker 2
Yeah. Her and her right.
00:24:32 Speaker 12
Because they are. But I mean on this question, I thought her answer was not that bad. Now I think she was taking Isabelle Brown too literal.
00:24:41 Speaker 12
All right. I don’t think Isabel Brown really wants you to just have kids before you can. More than you can and so forth. But I think she was trying to go against the prevailing narrative. However, I really think that Sonny was making a good point on affordability. Maybe you’d need to be a little bit careful. Go ahead.
00:24:47 Speaker 14
Right.
00:24:57
If.
00:24:57 Speaker 14
You were having a debate with someone. Sonny’s argument would be the better way to debate that.
00:25:02 Speaker 13
Right it it it.
00:25:03 Speaker 15
I agree.
00:25:03 Speaker 14
Would be more of a conversation if they were brave enough to have Isabel on, they could broach that topic with her and they could ask her to expand on her opinion. They’re too scared to do that, of course, but that is the better.
00:25:14 Speaker 3
Right.
00:25:17 Speaker 14
Question to ask to debate that topic. To debate that point.
00:25:20 Speaker 13
Yeah. The guest host on it was a comedian, Whitney coming. She’s like 40. And she just had a baby on her own.
00:25:28 Speaker 12
OK.
00:25:28 Speaker 13
But she was like, defending their points. I was like, you just went out of your way to have a baby on your own. I I don’t know if there was any man involved, but the trend or the technology we.
00:25:37 Speaker 13
Have now so her.
00:25:38
Right.
00:25:39 Speaker 13
Her agreeing with them made no sense to me because she went out for a way to have a kid when she didn’t necessarily she was by herself, I mean.
00:25:46 Speaker 12
Well, Tanner, sometimes I think it’s just liberals going to agree with the libs. I mean, you’re in. You’re in that cesspool there on the view and you’re just going to agree with them no matter what.
00:25:50 Speaker 13
Yeah, 100%.
00:25:57 Speaker 3
I.
00:25:58 Speaker 12
I think that they’ve got a little bit of a point and when we come back from the break first before we go to break, I want to play a little bit more of this when we come back though, I just want you know, for the next segment I want you guys to tell me.
00:26:11 Speaker 12
When when is a good time for young people to have kids and what should they measure? But first I wanna hear a little bit more from Fox News.
00:26:19 Speaker 21
Wow, peak elitism. You can only have babies if you’re rich and on the view, I guess is about you’ve been surprised by the reaction to your comments.
00:26:31 Speaker 23
Ohh my goodness, Rachel. Well, first I’ll just say I never expected that this was going to be my Monday. That clip that they reacted to.
00:26:38 Speaker 12
OK. And she goes on there and she honestly, all she basically does is talk about what she said.
00:26:43
Mm-hmm.
00:26:44 Speaker 12
Here’s what I wanna ask though, is it peak elite elitism to say you should factor in affordability and your budget? I actually don’t agree with her. I don’t think no. I think the first 2 ladies definitely were peak elitist, but she was talking about.
00:26:58 Speaker 12
Basically saying, because what she’s saying is that the view is saying that you got to be rich to have kids, and if you’re not rich and you got plenty of money, lots of money, or at least, you know, upper middle, whatever that you shouldn’t have kids and.
00:27:14 Speaker 12
I don’t know. I don’t. I I don’t think it’s. He peak elitism to say, hey, you gotta watch your budget before you jump into this stuff. Go ahead.
00:27:21 Speaker 14
Ahead, I don’t think that’s peak elitism to say you have to watch your budget, but I think the point they’re making of, you know, peak elitism is what Tanner said. You have to make $400,000 before you can have a kid that’s outrageous for a normal.
00:27:36 Speaker 14
For a normal person, my husband and I are never going to approach anywhere close to 400,000, but it’s different to, say, watch your budget so that you can take care of a kid. Then to say you have to be massively wealthy so that you don’t have to worry about any of the expense expenses.
00:27:50 Speaker 13
Right.
00:27:53 Speaker 13
I mean plenty. Plenty of people have kids at 18.
00:27:56 Speaker 13
In multiple. So right, I mean there is a way right 100%.
00:27:57 Speaker 12
And they get by.
00:27:58 Speaker 14
There are people that have.
00:27:59 Speaker 14
Kids younger and they make it work.
00:28:01 Speaker 12
Alright, well, when we come back, let’s talk about how to do it right, how to be wise. Sound good? Yep. I’m gonna ask you guys to help me be.
00:28:08 Speaker 12
Wise cause I can’t do it. I’m 62 it’s.

OK, we gotta talk a little bit about what’s the right way. OK, we’ve heard a lot of nonsense there, and we’ve heard some pretty good comments, I think from those from Isabelle Brown and even 1.
00:31:56 Speaker 12
Decent comment. I thought from the view I don’t think Sunny was.
00:31:59 Speaker 12
Too far off.
00:31:59 Speaker 14
A broken clock is twice right. It is right twice a day.
00:32:02 Speaker 12
Twice a day. Exactly. Exactly. And, you know. And so I didn’t think she was that far off. The other two were nuts. OK.
00:32:09 Speaker 12
I’m going to go first.
00:32:10 Speaker 12
To Tanner.
00:32:11 Speaker 12
Tanner, what kind of life situation do you want to be in?
00:32:16 Speaker 12
Before you have.
00:32:16 Speaker 12
Kids.
00:32:17 Speaker 13
Married, owning a home, ideally, but with how the market is right now, I know it’s getting better, but it’s tough for anyone to buy a home.
00:32:29 Speaker 13
UM.
00:32:30 Speaker 13
Yeah. I mean, marriage is probably my only standard and you know, making at least 100K together. Other than that, I I don’t really have any objections to it, I mean.
00:32:41 Speaker 13
I had friends who had families that they might have been making 100K growing up and they.
00:32:47 Speaker 13
Had.
00:32:47 Speaker 12
4 kids well, back in my time of apartment.
00:32:50 Speaker 12
Living there are a lot of people.
00:32:52 Speaker 13
Who had kids? Ohh yeah. I mean, even in.
00:32:53 Speaker 12
My building. There’s people with kids. Yeah. So, yeah, I don’t think that’s too, but I. But I can understand. You’re you’re just saying, you know, ideally, right. You’d like to be in a position where you feel more confident providing.
00:33:05 Speaker 13
Right. I also wouldn’t wanna like bring 3 kids into the world and then, you know, we’re struggling to just get by.
00:33:06 Speaker 12
Both you and the mom provided.
00:33:11 Speaker 13
I wouldn’t want to do that, I know.
00:33:12 Speaker 12
Some people do, but well, you see. And here’s another big thing. You’re conservative as conservative. You do not want to be a burden on the government and on the people. You don’t want to do that. Let’s face it, folks, there are a lot of people on the other side of the aisle who don’t care. They don’t mind being a.
00:33:15 Speaker 13
MHM.
00:33:20 Speaker 26
Right.
00:33:25 Speaker 13
Mm-hmm.
00:33:26 Speaker 13
Right.
00:33:28 Speaker 14
Burden. They love being a burden.
00:33:30 Speaker 12
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
00:33:31 Speaker 13
That’s the whole livelihood you’re sitting at home.
00:33:31 Speaker 16
Mean the more kids.
00:33:33 Speaker 14
With the kids, the more kids I’ll have, the more.
00:33:34 Speaker 12
Welfare queen.
00:33:35 Speaker 14
Food stamps I get.
00:33:35 Speaker 13
You’re.
00:33:36 Speaker 12
Right. Yeah. Yeah. OK. And and that is a huge thing. I think it’s great that you don’t want to do that. OK. Ashley, remember, now I’m going to be checking your quota annually, but go ahead. And what kind of situation do you?
00:33:47 Speaker 14
Want to be in? I mean, for me and my husband, the biggest situation.
00:33:51 Speaker 14
Is we don’t have a specific number like ohh we want to make 100 and 100K150K our thing is OK we want to be able to pay.
00:33:57 Speaker 14
Our.
00:33:57 Speaker 14
Mortgage pay our bills, you know, get to and from work.
00:34:03 Speaker 14
And justice have enough leftover that it’s like, no. Yeah, we could. We could take care of a kid. We don’t have to have so much leftover that it’s like we could take care of the kid. We could plan vacations. We could do this. We do that. It’s we have enough to.
00:34:16 Speaker 14
Provide for ourselves and another human being. OK, here’s what I’m hearing from you guys and we’ll go.
00:34:21 Speaker 12
Steve will come to you in just a moment.
00:34:23 Speaker 12
I’m hearing that you guys don’t want to be a burden on others. It’s not that you’re demanding that you have this ideal lifestyle where you’ve had all your fun and you still have plenty of money to go golfing 3 * a week or whatever, but rather you want to have enough to where you know you can provide. You won’t be a burden on others.
00:34:42 Speaker 12
And you can raise your children. Yeah, that seems pretty fair to me. Mm-hmm. In fact, I I kind of wish more people would have that now. I love the fact that Donald Trump is creating an economy where you guys can get there quicker. Not yet. It’s going to take time to build that. But he trust me. It’s coming. I I can see all the forces happening. OK.
00:34:45
MHM.
00:35:02 Speaker 12
He is building that because with what Joe Biden created, young people couldn’t build anything. No, you couldn’t build a shack, OK? I mean, really, Joe Biden absolutely bankrupted young people.
00:35:15 Speaker 12
And so, you know, I’m. I’m excited that Donald Trump is making it come to a point where you guys are going to be able to have kids a lot quicker. All right. OK. On the line right now we got Steve from Colorado Springs. Steve, you’re talking about child bearing demographics. This should be interesting.
00:35:32 Speaker 25
Yeah, what’s that?
00:35:36 Speaker 25
I said, how are you? Good afternoon, Sir.
00:35:41 Speaker 25
Demographics highly ignored but extremely important signs. One. Number two, we are closely following below, falling below 1.8 reflects the population. Europe did well over 15 years ago. Their toast, that’s why they allow such ridiculous immigration that won’t assimilate.
00:36:01 Speaker 25
They have no go zones etc. But think about it, parents of the boomers raising kids and depression years 29 to 40, you think they had anywhere near that kind?
00:36:11 Speaker 25
Of money, no.
00:36:13 Speaker 25
But they made it work. They worked hard, now 40,000.
00:36:15 Speaker 12
Steve, what is the really quick here really quick for your run on what’s the replacement rate that you need for society? Did you say we’re at 1.8 or that it needs to be 1.8? I thought it had to be a little over 2.
00:36:17 Speaker 16
Dollars.
00:36:26 Speaker 25
It needs to be needs to be 1.8 or.
00:36:28 Speaker 25
More and I don’t.
00:36:29 Speaker 12
1.91 OK.
00:36:29 Speaker 25
Think most most of the citizenry doesn’t even understand demographics is a power.
00:36:34 Speaker 25
Powerful science. We’ve got people that turn to people like the view for wisdom. I mean, I’ll tell you, Whoopi Goldberg, she’s not only driving her fans crazy, but ABC. When she complains she cannot afford to retire, she’s only making 8 million a year on the view. She’s got a net worth of 30 mil. She’s got a great estate in Italy. Hey.
00:36:55 Speaker 25
Give me a.
00:36:55 Speaker 25
Break.
00:36:56 Speaker 12
You know, I didn’t know she was complaining. She didn’t have enough to retire. That’s.
Well, what demographics you take back when Johnson produced the Great Society and was quoted from the toilet to saying we’re going to have these ends, the boat tours for 200 years.
00:37:24 Speaker 25
Anyway, there are some good headers.
00:37:24 Speaker 12
That this is true, he said that.
00:37:27 Speaker 25
He said that and he he said the N word many, many times on the toilet. He he with his staff right there. There were some pretty sharp edges, a couple in Congress, demographers. And they said this thing is going to actually implode in terms of the overall debt.
00:37:30 Speaker 12
Oh yeah.
00:37:44 Speaker 25
Use in in terms of actually enslaving minorities even more to the slave masters, the federal government. And you know what he
00:37:52 Speaker 12
Was right. Well, they were totally right. I mean, and. And it’s really sad because kids are kids. It doesn’t matter if they’re white, black or whatever. And yet they created a whole subculture within the black subculture.
00:38:04 Speaker 12
Where they look, it’s it’s not just that they had a lot of kids that were on a lot of welfare, it’s also that the the dads are gone.
00:38:13 Speaker 12
I mean, I don’t know what percentage of black households have the dads leave, but I know it’s extremely high. Go ahead.
00:38:20 Speaker 25
It’s near 70%.
00:38:21 Speaker 27
Yeah.
00:38:21 Speaker 25
And we have created multi generational.
00:38:24 Speaker 25
Entitlements among these.
00:38:26 Speaker 25
People and black fathers need a black father.
00:38:28 Speaker 12
Right. And that exactly. And Steve, that wasn’t produced by black people. Black people are the same as white people. They’re all the same. That was produced by white politicians who gave them the systems that created that.
00:38:40 Speaker 25
Absolutely. One last passing thought. First of all on good news, I think it’s extremely important that people get their priorities straight and understand that raising a family #1 is probably the greatest gift and blessing you’re ever going to have. But #2 extremely important to the health of our society and its future and what bothers me is I see a lot of kids.
00:38:42 Speaker 17
Go.
00:38:52 Speaker 2
Mm-hmm.
00:39:01 Speaker 15
A book.
00:39:02 Speaker 25
Don’t only listen to one source in our lives. It’s a station called WFM. What’s in it?
00:39:07 Speaker 25
For me.
00:39:07 Speaker 12
Right.
00:39:08 Speaker 25
And I I see so many of them, they don’t care about anything except give me money. They don’t care about the parents house again. Give me the money on and on and on. It’s it’s.
00:39:16 Speaker 25
Really.
00:39:17 Speaker 12
Yeah, John talks about it all the time, Steve. He talks about the entitlement mentality. It’s always been there for every generation. But for the younger generations right now, it is unbelievable. I am right now in a room with two very unentitled type people.
00:39:32 Speaker 12
And for them, it is hell being in their own generation.
00:39:36 Speaker 25
Yeah, we got, we got it turned around. We won’t have a country.
00:39:39 Speaker 12
Steve. Well done, Sir. We got to move on. Great job. You bet. Is that true, though? I mean, when you guys look at people your own age and you see the entitlement cause you 2, you bust your tails every day. You work really hard, OK. And you want you make every sent and then you see people around you who are just expecting everything to be handed.
00:39:42 Speaker 25
Easter bye.
00:39:58 Speaker 4
Mm-hmm.
00:39:59 Speaker 12
Go ahead.
00:40:00 Speaker 13
I see it with my generation, the one below. I mean it. It’s unbelievable and there’s a.
00:40:05 Speaker 13
Plethora of.
00:40:07 Speaker 13
I guess examples I could go through but.
00:40:10 Speaker 13
I mean, you just see all the people screaming in the streets and it’s just.
00:40:13 Speaker 13
Kind of.
00:40:14 Speaker 13
How entitled are you that you think everything is just going to?
00:40:18 Speaker 13
Fall from the heavens right into.
00:40:19 Speaker 12
Your lap? Well, it’s like like with the war we’re in right now with Iran. Now you can support the war or be against the war. I happen to be for this one. I was against the last couple. But the bottom line is this.
00:40:22 Speaker 4
Hmm.
00:40:32 Speaker 12
For or against what blows my mind as Americans expect, it’s gotta be done in 60 days, right?
00:40:38 Speaker 12
Are you guys kidding? I mean, it will be OK. It’s going to be, but wow. I mean, we expect instant, just add water and we have a new society. It’s amazing how absolutely entitled we become. Go ahead.
00:40:43 Speaker 13
Oh yeah.
00:40:51 Speaker 14
The entitlement drives me in saying I have friends that they drive me crazy because they complain about how expensive it is to live.
00:40:58 Speaker 14
And you know, I’m still living with my parents. I hate it. And then I watch them quit a job every 30 days every 60 days because, well, I didn’t feel comfortable in that environment. They didn’t make me feel comfortable. Like I’ve had jobs where I felt like crap. I still worked the job because I needed money.
00:41:05 Speaker 7
Yes.
00:41:13 Speaker 12
I know. Let me tell you something that work that you’re actually doing with your hands at your job. That’s not your work. Your work is dealing with irritating bad people.
00:41:22 Speaker 12
Unfair bosses, bad clients, mean clients and things like that. That is the hard part of the workplace and they can’t understand this. And I’ve seen a lot of young workers. They just freak out the second this boss is unfair and gives this shift to this person instead of that. And it’s like, you know what? You’re probably right. It was unfair. Guess what? That’s the workplace.
00:41:42 Speaker 14
That’s the way the cookie crumbles. I don’t know what to.
00:41:44 Speaker 14
Tell you.
00:41:45 Speaker 12
The work is easy. It’s not the work, it’s the people that’s the hard part about being in the workplace and they freak out. Go ahead, Tana.
00:41:53 Speaker 13
Yeah. I mean, even the other day I was just at McDonald’s before work inside, just getting a coffee and breakfast sandwich. And sure enough, like there’s some 65 year old lady.
00:42:04 Speaker 13
Just because the workers can’t get to her within 30 seconds, she’s trying to wave them all down. While they’re obviously busy, like, hey, can I get some? It was just like Creamer, something she wanted. It wasn’t like her meal was wrong or anything like that, but right, the constant just like. And like, she looked at me. She’s like, they must be pretty busy. I’m like, well, patience is a virtue. She just looked at me and showed up. So I was like, well, I mean.
00:42:16 Speaker 12
And she’s not young, but she’s entitled.
00:42:25 Speaker 13
Everyone’s got a little bit of the entitlement and I’m.
00:42:28 Speaker 13
Just how much you willing to let out? Everyone wants to make 100 grand a year, but that’s just not how the world works.
00:42:33 Speaker 12
Tanner, do you lecture your elders everywhere you go? No. OK, I just wondered. OK. Really quick here before we go to break Isabel Brown, she put on a statistics that I think rings true. OK. She said. And they track mental illness. Right. And and they track it and.
00:42:53 Speaker 12
Unmarried women with no kids have three times the mental illness issues of married women with kids. OK, yeah. But we’re told that kids are this horrible burden that’s going to disrupt and wreck your life, right? So maybe this lady. Well, I don’t think you should just be not looking at your budget at all and just have more than you can sooner than you can. I think that’s going a bit far.
00:43:00 Speaker 13
Not surprised.
00:43:15 Speaker 12
But I think she was exaggerating for effect.
00:43:18 Speaker 12
But this idea that kids wreck your life, I think is a little over the.
00:43:22 Speaker 12
Top what do you think?
00:43:23 Speaker 13
Ohh 100% if anything it.
00:43:24 Speaker 14
Makes your life. It feeds into that entitlement idea. Kids wreck your life because I can’t do what I want when I want for myself, I have to focus on them.

Mike, the owner of Plumber Roos, says the simplest way to prevent water damage in your home is with a leak detection system. Water damage from leaking or broken plumbing happens frequently.

And if you’re away or cannot respond to the notification, Finn can automatically.
00:45:51 Speaker 26

00:46:21 Speaker 12
And welcome back to Rush series in Denver’s afternoon rush. Kale Z560 Andy paid filling in for John Rush, along with Tanner Cole and Ashley Card. OK, now really quick here Washington because of course this is the state of Washington because they are insane. They are OK.
00:46:27 Speaker 13
Ma’am.
00:46:36 Speaker 14
Yes.
00:46:37 Speaker 12
Way, Eastern Washington. I pity those people because they’re smart and conservative. But you know, they’re outnumbered and their life is destroyed, Washington Governor Bob Ferguson, who is insane, signed the Democrats controversial new state income tax law in to law Monday morning, establishing a 9.9.
00:46:43 Speaker 13
Some great people there.
00:46:58 Speaker 12
Percent income tax on earnings above $1 million.
00:47:03 Speaker 12
And again, this goes into place in 2028. All right. How many millionaires are they going to have in Washington state?
00:47:12 Speaker 12
After you know in the beginning of 2020.
00:47:14 Speaker 12
8.
00:47:15 Speaker 13
I think 100 and it will be only the professional athletes for the Kraken, Mariners and Seahawks, OK?
00:47:22 Speaker 12
Talk.
00:47:23 Speaker 12
I mean, what do you think, Ashley? How’s this going to go? What? What do you think the millionaires are going to do when they know that you’re going to take 10% more of their income just to be in the?
00:47:32 Speaker 12
State.
00:47:33 Speaker 14
You know I’m.
00:47:35 Speaker 14
I’m willing to predict that within the 1st.
00:47:37 Speaker 14
Like.
00:47:38 Speaker 14
Two months after this has been signed, so in the next two months at least 75% of the millionaires are going to be leaving.
00:47:44 Speaker 12
It’s already gone up dramatically. They they show that in the richer neighborhoods, the listings have gone are going through the.
00:47:53 Speaker 12
OK, they’re listing their homes. They’re trying to get out of there.
00:47:56 Speaker 12
And here’s the thing. Who are the most mobile people in society? Or the rich? Or?
00:48:01 Speaker 12
The poor, the.
00:48:01 Speaker 12
Rich, right? Cause the poor are stuck, right? They can’t go anywhere. They can’t go anywhere. They are stuck. They are absolutely not gonna go anywhere but the rich man. I got money. I can leave.
00:48:12 Speaker 14
The rich already have multiple homes in different states. They can leave Washington and come out here to Aspen or, you know, go to New Mexico or Arizona or wherever they have their summer homes.
00:48:20 Speaker 12
Yeah.
00:48:23 Speaker 12
Right. The only rich that are going to stay for the time being are the ones who are stuck in a company that is there. But however, let’s say you’re running a company, right?
00:48:32 Speaker 12
And you pay enough to where you’ve got several millionaires, a bunch of millionaires at the company. Are you going to stay, or are you gonna move?
00:48:39 Speaker 12
The company.
00:48:40 Speaker 13
Should move the company they they didn’t or they don’t have state income tax. So this would blow. It blows my mind even more. Like why not just establish state income taxes? They’re doing this because the more millionaires, the more businesses.
00:48:41 Speaker 13
Just move it to.
00:48:46 Speaker 17
Yeah.
00:48:52 Speaker 13
That leave the less of a economy, a community that’s Seattle and it’s already falling apart. So.
00:48:58 Speaker 12
Well, why not just do like Florida, Tennessee, Texas have no state income tax. And by the way, you mentioned sports. Let’s get to that. We got a couple of minutes here. OK. Yeah, this is going to affect them.
00:49:09 Speaker 13
Isn’t it? Yeah. They have three major teams and they’re look, the NBA is looking to go there as well as Vegas. So I.
00:49:15 Speaker 13
Kind of think.
00:49:15 Speaker 12
Yeah. Who just won the Super?
00:49:16 Speaker 13
Bowl the Seahawks.
00:49:17 Speaker 12
Ohh, OK, go ahead.
00:49:20 Speaker 13
I think the Mariners were pretty good this last year as well.
00:49:22 Speaker 13
But the Seahawks, GM John Schneider said this will totally affect them. They’re trying to sell the team too, so I don’t know how that will affect it at.
00:49:30 Speaker 13
All but right.
00:49:31 Speaker 12
It’s gonna hurt the sale. He’s gonna wanna buy a team there. Unless they’re buying it to move it.
00:49:33 Speaker 13
Right. You could knock off a billion dollars just because of this cause the players aren’t gonna want.
00:49:38 Speaker 12
Right. Think about this for a moment, folks. If you I know they just won a Super Bowl and they’ve.
00:49:43 Speaker 12
Got.
00:49:43 Speaker 12
A lot of talent, but every all the new extensions that you do are like 4 year extensions, some 3, some 5, you know, a three to five year extensions. OK, that means you’re already extending past 2028. If you sign an extension for Seattle.
00:49:44 Speaker 9
Right.
00:49:49 Speaker 13
Some of those guys, right?
00:49:56 Speaker 13
MHM.
00:49:59 Speaker 12
No.
00:50:00 Speaker 12
They already have a state income tax. They’re going to add 10% on top of that because you’re you’re a millionaire and yet you can go play for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and have zero Jaguars, 0, Tennessee Titans 0, any of the Texas teams 0. Do you see where I’m?
00:50:15 Speaker 13
Right.
00:50:16 Speaker 12
Going with this.
00:50:17 Speaker 12
Are are you really telling I mean?
00:50:20 Speaker 12
Do you really think this is not going to affect the Seattle teams I?
00:50:22 Speaker 13
Ohh 100% I mean I didn’t. I didn’t know why Kenneth Walker left the Seahawks, but now he’s got gone to the dreaded chiefs and he’s going to be making more money just because he probably knew this was coming.
00:50:23 Speaker 12
Think it’s going to kill them?
00:50:33 Speaker 12
Yeah, he probably did.
00:50:33 Speaker 13
Because why? Why sign the extension if you’re gonna get taxed on it eventually. So.
00:50:36 Speaker 12
Right. I I forget. No. Where’s the? Well, he can live in Missouri or KC. Kansas there. Either way, it’s low. So it doesn’t matter, OK? I mean, that’s.
00:50:42 Speaker 13
Right. Yeah, exactly.
00:50:46 Speaker 13
You’re not getting taxed on top of the income tax.
00:50:49 Speaker 12
Yeah. How is this going to affect these teams? I think it’s gonna kill them.
00:50:53 Speaker 13
Yeah. I mean, you’re basically saying we have a two year window.
00:50:58 Speaker 13
Because no, no free agents gonna want come here if they’re automatically getting taxed to 100K on every million plus whatever else are getting taxed.
00:51:04 Speaker 12
Yeah, actually, you’re a sports fan. I mean, how would you like to be a sports fan for a Seattle team going forward?
00:51:09 Speaker 14
I mean, I I just hate Seattle teams anyway, but yes, moving forward it just.
00:51:14 Speaker 12
You’re happy about this?
00:51:16 Speaker 14
Ohh sure, yeah. Seattle might lose the Kraken. Yay.
00:51:20 Speaker 14
No, I mean I wouldn’t want to be a fan of the team because I it’s like Tanner said, it’s like it’s, I’d probably be watching the timer countdown is I’m gonna lose this team. They’re not gonna stay here. We’re not gonna win anything because we’re not going to get any expensive players in.
00:51:31 Speaker 12
Well, think about the NFL. Everybody’s got a salary cap. They all have the same amount of money every year. Yeah, you can massage it from year to year, but you’re only affecting other years by doing that. Basically have the same amount of money, OK? And you have the same amount of money, but that money is worth a lot.
00:51:43 Speaker 13
Or if.
00:51:46 Speaker 12
More in Florida.
00:51:47 Speaker 13
Right. Well, and if these like if an actual one of these three teams leaves the city or the state?
00:51:54 Speaker 13
The amount the economy will probably collapse there because of how much money those those players put in and how much that those teams bring to.
00:51:58 Speaker 11
It’ll crash.
00:52:02 Speaker 12
The city. Ohh yeah. And we are just talking about sports teams. What about the?
00:52:06 Speaker 12
Businesses.
00:52:07 Speaker 14
Ohh, businesses are going to leave. People are gonna lose jobs. The economy is.
00:52:10 Speaker 13
Going to crash. You’re gonna lose the people who make a lot of money, who go to the higher end restaurants to keep everything going, pay the taxi drivers pay for.
00:52:11 Speaker 12
Yeah, this is a disaster.
00:52:17 Speaker 12
The hotels, all that’s gone. Yeah. Let me tell you all this, though, in Washington and.
00:52:21 Speaker 12
State. I don’t feel sorry for you.
00:52:23 Speaker 12
You did this to yourself. I only feel sorry for the good conservatives in the east part of the state. The rest of you.
No Kings, No Clue: Protest Logic Falls Apart
Filling in for John Rush, Andy Peth leads a lively and wide-ranging conversation tackling the cultural and political narratives behind the “No Kings” protests. With humor and sharp commentary, Andy and the crew unpack the messaging surrounding protests, media framing, and public perception—highlighting what they see as contradictions in the rhetoric.
The discussion shifts into deeper territory as the group explores generational attitudes toward marriage, finances, and having children. Is affordability a valid concern, or has culture overcorrected into fear and delay? The team debates what it really means to be “ready” for a family and whether modern priorities are
