John Rush dives into the growing concerns surrounding AI-driven pricing practices after Maryland moved to ban AI surveillance pricing tied to consumer behavior and income demographics. Rand Taylor of Fuel Ox joins the show to discuss how AI is increasingly shaping pricing decisions and consumer trust, while also talking fuel additives, emissions reduction, and the automotive industry.
Later, John warns listeners about a major spike in fake online car dealership scams targeting buyers through TikTok, Facebook, and cloned dealership websites. He breaks down the red flags consumers need to watch for before sending deposits or buying vehicles online.
The conversation then
SPEAKER 18 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 03 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes.
SPEAKER 18 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 02 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did. Get a job, sir. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 11 :
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’ve 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.
SPEAKER 03 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, hour number three, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Thanks for joining us today. Rand Taylor with us, and he is CEO of Industrial Sustainability Group, and you have the Fuel Ox products. Rand, welcome. How are you?
SPEAKER 07 :
Hey, I’m doing great. Thanks a lot for having me.
SPEAKER 12 :
I appreciate it. I was thinking about having you on my Saturday show. I do a car show, a talk car show that I’ve done for, oh gosh, 25-plus years called Drive Radio. But then I thought, well, why not? I’ll start with you here, and if it goes well, which I think it will, I’ll have you back on that program as well.
SPEAKER 07 :
All right, we’re doing an interview.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s great. That’s right. I’m a car guy, so just so you know, I’ve got lots of experience in that world, especially when it comes to additives and all the different things around that. So talk to us, first of all, about the new ban on AI-driven surveillance pricing. That has sparked some national conversations and so on. Talk about that, if you would, and that’s in Maryland.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, anything AI is going to be a lightning rod right now, right? That’s right. People are super concerned about it, what it’s going to do. And quite honestly, most of the focus has been on a negative front, right? People are scared about putting data centers in their area and what’s AI going to actually do to their job or to going forward, you know, is it going to – You know, start the new world war and you’re going to see bots like Terminator, you know, and so forth. You know, it’s all pretty crazy. But so you’re going to see anything having to do with AI is going to have a tremendous amount of exposure and attention. Right. And this is no different. This is kind of interesting because what they’re talking about is using AI to monitor your behavior as a consumer. We all know what our phones do, right? We all know that you could have a conversation with someone in the hallway, and next thing you know, your phone’s sending you ads for whatever was in your conversation.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yep, that’s exactly right.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, you’re 100%. So we’re constantly being surveilled by that thing in our pocket. And when you buy things, you know, they’re keeping track of everything. So they know what you’re buying. They know what you like. And what they found was that Instacart was actually doing that in a way that they were able to change the prices that you were paying for your groceries. based on what you could afford to pay. And I think it was more of a study than an actual practice. They were trying to see whether it would work or not. But the bottom line is that the word got out. And people were, frankly, pissed off about it. And rightfully so.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, rightfully. Really what they were doing, if I’m not mistaken, the study that I read and saw is they basically looked at people, the demographics, where they live, their potential zip code, what in this case they thought they could afford to pay, and they adjusted prices accordingly. Am I saying that right? Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s my understanding as well. Okay, that’s what I thought. Now, their excuse for it all is that it’s a better way to find out what you like so we can give you discounts, right? And rewards, you know? So that’s the nice way to put it. And that’s the way, I guess, if I was them… I would say I was doing it too, right? But needless to say, Maryland viewed it a different way. And they said, hey, you know what? Yeah, maybe that’s the case, but this could easily be used for the other direction. And quite honestly, think about what happens just with Uber and the ride-sharing apps. When it gets busy, what happens? Exactly. So now, take it one step further. Bob’s got extra money because he lives in a rich zip code, and we know he likes to buy expensive things, so why don’t we just charge him 10% or 20% more than everybody else? Right.
SPEAKER 12 :
you know right and and and you know what you go to you go to do to buy something on your phone and you may not you you may not think that you’re getting ripped off for 10 or 20 percent you know and i think that’s you know that’s an old brand uh you know buyer beware and the problem is not everybody’s got the time at that particular moment to determine exactly what something costs versus you know there versus someplace else some people just pay it and move on and And again, I am not one, just so everybody knows, I’m not one for government control. I don’t want governments stepping in and controlling prices and so on, because I think that gets really dicey when we do so. On the same token, I do think we need to make sure that we’re establishing fair trade practices. That’s what the FTC is supposed to be doing. We’re supposed to be having fair trade practices whereby people aren’t getting gouged for no apparent reason.
SPEAKER 07 :
I agree 100%. 100%. And I think the more transparency we have in everything, it’s always better.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, I agree. No, no, absolutely. I firmly agree. And I know that, again, I came out of the automotive world, had auto shops for years and years, 30-plus years, grew up in a car dealership, so I’m very familiar with that end of things. And I also know that prices can fluctuate depending upon supply, demand, and so on. And that’s not what we’re talking about here. What we’re talking about here is, in a way, raising prices just because you as a consumer have more money. And that’s just, sorry, Iran, that’s just crap.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah. Yeah. 100 percent. You know, and that’s that. I agree with you 100 percent. And that’s why other states are jumping on, you know. Yeah.
SPEAKER 12 :
And by the way, this is where this is where I you know, this is where I get scared, because, as you know, I’m sure you’re like me. Anytime government gets involved in something, it’s more screwed up than it would have been otherwise. The problem is, if things aren’t self-policed and they don’t handle things correctly on the front side, this is what happens. I don’t want this happening. I don’t want government getting involved in price structures.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right. Well, you know, good government is small government. That’s right. But but but at the same token, that small government is important to, for instance, to to just make sure the laws are adhered to, you know, and people people stay within the lines. you know they’re not to it’s not to be overbearing and you know like much of government is today you know but you still need to have some of it and that’s what and that’s really what you’re talking about in this case we need to have we need to have a little bit of regulation here just to keep everybody within the lines
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, I agree. And again, I’m with you. I don’t want government control. I don’t want them interfering with prices on the same token. And this is what happens when companies don’t do these things on their own. Government then ends up stepping in, and I don’t want that. So if any of you out there listening have any control over this stuff, don’t be doing things that’s going to get you in trouble down the road because I don’t want government involved. And that kind of goes to your company, Rand. Talk about what you guys do.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, we’re a fuel additive company that has a patented fuel additive that actually works in gas or diesel that improves the combustion so much that it gets you about 7% or 8% better fuel efficiency. And with diesel, it will cut your emissions down by about 70%. So all the diesel emissions, things like diesel particulate filters and things like that, most people don’t know what we’re talking about. But if you’re driving a truck, a diesel truck, you know exactly. Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER 12 :
No, I know. Yeah, again, those are the things we talk about on my other program. And again, I’ll probably get you back on that program and just talk about some of your additives and the things that you have along those lines, because that’s right up my alley and things I’ve done for, you know, years and years and years. And to your point, there’s a lot and there’s some really good additive companies out there. I’m not knocking all additives, but there’s also a lot of snake oil, as you know.
SPEAKER 07 :
You know, my biggest problem with additives out there is that these fuel additive companies that are on the shelves will try to sell you seven different things. That’s right. Instead of just selling you one thing that can do all seven. And that’s really what we do. We do 15 or 20 different tasks each. Because I don’t want to sell you 10 different things. I want to sell you the best product out there that does the most.
SPEAKER 12 :
That’s fair. Again, I think I should have you on my other show, and we can talk a little bit about things as well there because you’re right up our alley as to what we do on the weekends, helping people with their transportation needs, whether they’re driving gas, diesel, EV even, you name it. We’ve got kind of a hodgepodge. Again, I’ve been doing that program for almost 30 years now, and we’ve got tons and tons of— of listeners we cover multiple states and i’ve got listeners that even leave the state continue to listen just because they like what we do and they they go other places and keep listening because you can listen online now that’s the beauty of technology now rand so no at the end of the day no i will reach out we’ll have you back on our weekend program as well uh really quick folks the the company is called the fuel locks i guess i should ask rand where do you buy that
SPEAKER 07 :
You can get us on Amazon. You can get us on our own website, which is fuelox.com, F-U-E-L-O-X. And also, I have a YouTube site, a YouTube channel that’s got about 200 videos on there if people want to see what it does. Okay. Awesome. And that’s just Fuel Ox.
SPEAKER 12 :
Rand, I appreciate it. Again, I’ll reach out to you, get you back on my program, Drive Radio, as well on the weekends. And I appreciate you very much. Thanks for all you’re doing, sir.
SPEAKER 07 :

SPEAKER 12 :
All right, Flesh Law is next, and anything you need when it comes to Kevin Flesh, he will help you on the civil side, the criminal side, either one, 303-806-8886.
SPEAKER 01 :
Here’s why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. The idea is that you’re going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist’s perspective is that you’re going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we’re talking about six people that you don’t know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you’re the one who’s hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it’s worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don’t know and were witnesses to believe that’s what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks. Call now for a free consultation. 303-806-8886
SPEAKER 05 :
Plumberoos is your local trustworthy plumber like you used to have when they were your plumber. When you invite someone into your home, trust matters. And that’s why Mike Jansen built Plumberoos differently. Mike is a master plumber raised in Colorado, and every job he does reflects his values. Honesty, respect, and real solutions. The team of plumbers and technicians are paid hourly, not on commission. so you’ll never be talked into work you don’t need. No matter the need, Plumberoo’s gives you clear options and lets you decide what the next step is without a sales pitch or add-ons. Unlike those big national companies, Mike and Plumberoo’s appreciate the value of providing service to their local community where they live and work, which in turn keeps your money here in Colorado. When you need a licensed and insured local company who can be your plumber. Call Plumberoos by finding them on the klzradio.com advertisers page. This is Rush to Reason on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, we just had Rand on, and yeah, he’s a car guy and talking about AI and pricing, and yet they’ve got fuel additives and such that they sell, and I’ll try to get them on Drive Radio here in the near future as well, because I did read a bunch of his website and things that they have going on and so on, and a fantastic company from all I can read, so we’ll get him on and actually might even get some product from him and see how it works and so on. Anyways. There is a – this is probably more of a PSA, but it fits right in before we have our next guest on. There is a warning going on right now. In fact, the attorney general is saying this of Colorado, a warning about fake Colorado car dealers. And they’re on social media, TikTok, Facebook, and so on. There is an official post about a spike. in online car scams. So this is coming out of Denver7.com. Denver7 investigates a trackdown viewer tip about a fake Colorado car dealership advertising on TikTok. What we found points to a much larger problem. This email was from a person by the name of Alicia Small, a 22-year-old nursing student in Florida. And it read, they have ceased communication and refusing to refund my $2,550 or deliver the vehicle. So here’s the way this works, by the way. And I’ve talked about this on Drive Radio some, but I need to go ahead and talk about it here because it’s hard sometimes for the non-car person to determine if an ad is actually legit or not. And by the way, here’s the first rule of thumb. And it’s the old saying, if it looks too good to be true, it is. If it looks too good to be true, it is. I had a situation the other day with my brother-in-law. He needs a tailgate for his truck, and so he sent me a link to a particular tailgate, and the tailgate shipped to Colorado was only $450. That includes shipping. Folks, you can’t ship that tailgate for hardly that. Nonetheless, sell you the tailgate included, meaning it’s a scam. You can’t do it for that price. So that’s the number one thing to look at is does the price seem legit or not? Because if it’s just some really great swinging deal and you think, yeah, I’m going to buy that car because that’s way less than anybody else, it’s probably not a real ad. It’s a scam. And what they do, by the way, is they will literally take, and I’ve talked about this again on Drive Radio, they will take even an image, the car, the whole nine yards, they’ll go scrape that literally from another legitimate dealer’s website. And there’s tools out there that make this very easy to do. So they will literally go scrape an entire site sometimes from another dealer, a legit dealer, with their inventory and everything there. And they will build, rebuild, I should say, under their own URL, under a different used car dealer’s domain name. And they will rebuild that entire site on their site, under their site is what I should say. other than they change all the pricing. And they make things a lot cheaper than what you would find on this other website. And by the way, I’ve caught people doing this, and I’ve actually called them out, and I’ve even called the people that I knew the site was coming from, the legitimate site. I’d call the legitimate site and say, hey, you’ve got somebody scamming you or impersonating you, I should say, scamming other people based upon what you’re doing, and you probably should look into that. And they thank me for doing that, and off they go. And that’s exactly what’s happening here. So in this case, she sent money for a down payment and shipping through Zelle. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever pay for anything on a used car that way. Cash app, Zelle, Venmo, never, ever, ever, ever do that. That’s the number one rule. If a used car dealer is asking you to put money down in that way, run. Run. It’s not legit. They’re going to just take your money and it’s a scam. So that’s the second red. First red flag, it’s too cheap. Second red flag, they want some sort of a deposit or they’re going to ship it to you. They want the money up front. They want the money zelled to them or cash after whatever. Run. Don’t even have any communication if that’s the case. By the way, the name of this dealership was Drive Cheap Cars USA. They were on a TikTok channel. So the Colorado Department of Revenue’s auto industry confirmed that Drive Cheap USA Cars is not licensed to sell cars in Colorado. So that is an example of where, by the way, and I didn’t even read this article because I already know what they were doing. Officials said it’s an example of a cloned website in which criminals impersonate legitimate dealerships by stealing photos, logos, and even street addresses. Yeah, that’s exactly what they do. They make it look like they’re the legitimate dealer, but they’re not. So, again, folks, I can’t say this enough. And here’s what I’ll tell all of you. If you find a car, friend finds a car, relative finds a car, and some of you do this already, and you think, man, this thing seems too good to be true, send me the link to the car, and I’ll look at it and tell you if it’s true or not. It’s not hard for me to tell whether this is a really legit site or is somebody trying to scam you. It doesn’t take me very long to figure that out, and I’m not exaggerating in the least. So if you think that, hey, man, I found this really great deal on this car, have a look, John. Okay, send it to me, and I’ll tell you. And again, a lot of you do that already, and I hope I’ve saved a lot of you a lot of grief by telling you, nope, that’s a scam site run. And I do that on occasion. So I will give that offer to anybody that’s out there. If you ever want to know if something is legit or not, just ask me. I could have saved this lady a lot of headache if she would have just asked me on the front side because I could have told you right up front this is a scam. So other red flags, and this is what the Attorney General says. Price seems too good to be true. Demands for payment through an unprotected method. Surprise fees revealed after agreeing to the deal. And then hidden or fake physical locations. Again, everything I just said, folks, and I didn’t read the article. Because I know how these things work because I’ve talked about them on the other program on Drive Radio frequently. So don’t get scammed. Now, on top of that, Ridgeland Auto Brokers. We have a great used car company, a dealership, I should say, right here in Colorado that will help you with all of this. And no, they’re not a scam. They’re legit. They’re not going to ask you to do the things that these other people do.

SPEAKER 18 :
The best export we have is common sense. You’re listening to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Jennifer Harrison joining us next. And Jennifer, you’re Executive Director of the Victims’ Rights Reform Council. Thanks for joining us. I appreciate it.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you so much for having me.
SPEAKER 12 :
You’re very welcome. Talk to us about leniency for illegal immigrants.
SPEAKER 04 :
Look, I mean, every day in America, we wake up to another preventable murder. Sometimes, I mean, even multiple in a single day. And these are not unavoidable tragedies. They are the direct result of policy decisions made by politicians, prosecutors. and judges who have chosen open borders and ideology over public safety. So I’m sure a lot of your listeners already know that in Fairfax, Virginia, Soros-funded Steve Discano let go a monster who was arrested and released 30 times and who went on to murder a young woman who was waiting at a bus stop. And, you know, we’ve been told that wanting to keep criminals in jail is wrong. We’ve been told that enforcing the law is oppressive. We’ve been told that protecting victims and law abiding citizens is somehow a violation of civil rights. And if you dare to question that, you were labeled a racist, an extremist or even worse. I mean, I was. But we have to ask ourselves, what about the civil rights of law abiding, taxpaying American citizens? And what about the right to live free from fear? What about the lives, like Stephanie Minter, who have been lost? And these really shouldn’t be political questions. They are our fundamental rights.
SPEAKER 12 :
I fully agree. And yet they have become really in a lot of ways a political football, which they shouldn’t be. I agree with you 100 percent, Jennifer. These are basic things that we should all be looking at in exactly the same way. And yet we’ve got one side of the aisle that will in some ways sort of scoff at you and me and to your point, call us racist because we want justice to be served when these sorts of things happen. I mean, on the same token, we are of the type that they shouldn’t be here in the first place. But if they are, why are they continuing to be let out 30 times?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. And look, whether it’s Democrat soft on crime policies, open border policies or the deadly combination of both, the result is the same. And that is that innocent people are dying while the people responsible for these decisions, like Steve Discano, are immune from consequences. And really, enough is enough for far too long. Soros funded prosecutors. Woke activist judges, abolitionist politicians have been allowed to make these reckless decisions that endanger the public without ever being held accountable for the damage that they cause. They play Russian roulette with our lives. And when the worst happens, like Stephanie Minter, like Sheridan Gorman, like Lake and Riley, they deny, they deflect, and they pretend that we never existed. And we finally, the Victims’ Rights Reform Council, have found a way to fight back.
SPEAKER 12 :
Okay. And the other thing, too, I think people really struggle with sometimes. I know I do. In some cases, these judges are elected. But in a lot of cases, Jennifer, they’re not. These are appointed judges that end up there, to your point, because of deals that are put together, sometimes behind closed doors with the likes of George Soros and others. Yeah, I get it. In some cases, they’re elected. The problem is most people don’t look forward. closely enough at judges when the election season rolls around. They just usually, if they don’t know the person, it’s just an automatic yes, the guy or the gal stays in, and off we go. But in some cases, these are appointed judges.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and so again, they don’t have to face any accountability, you know, during every election cycle. So that, you know… When public officials like these judges knowingly ignore risk and show indifference to the safety of the communities they serve, it becomes more than bad policy. It becomes a civil rights issue. And we intend to prove that. The days of Steve Discano, other Soros-backed prosecutors, these woke activist judges that you’re talking about, and soft-on-crime politicians hiding behind an iron curtain of immunity and without accountability, are over. And victims and their families may not always be able to sue. We may not always be able to come out and vote against these judges, but we can absolutely, now we know, demand investigations. And with investigations comes the truth, consequences, and accountability.
SPEAKER 12 :
Jennifer, how much do district attorneys, you know, liberal district attorneys come into play with all of this as well? Do they play a part in this also?
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, yeah. I mean, look, Stephanie Minter would be alive if it weren’t for Steve Discano releasing her killer 30 times, even though he was warned. And we have the documented emails from the police department warning him that it was not an if, but a when that this guy killed somebody. Lake and Riley would still be alive if a progressive prosecutor in New York City, not Alvin Bragg, but Melinda Katz from Queens, didn’t decline to prosecute Jose Antonio Ibarra on two felony charges. and not report him to ICE before he left New York and then went on to Georgia to kill Lake and Riley. So they absolutely do play a part. They are protecting people who are here illegally and who are criminals over law-abiding American citizens, and that violates equal protection under the Constitution, and we’re going after them.
SPEAKER 12 :
Yeah, and I want to make sure I’m clear on this. The reason why I’m coming after the DAs as well, Jennifer, is because in a lot of cases, they’re the ones that actually bring the quote-unquote fact-finding into the courtroom itself to really get the ruling from the judge at that point, or in some cases the jury. But depending upon how hard that DA wants to push, they may or may not push hard at all.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, the problem is that we’re seeing that they’re not pushing at all. They’re not even getting to court. There you go. They’re downgrading to misdemeanors and getting away with a slap on the wrist, and then they’re dismissing charges altogether. So there is no truth. They’re manipulating data by dropping these charges and downgrading these charges. And unfortunately, we don’t have anybody in these jurisdictions that is actually fighting for the truth and telling the truth in court and standing up for innocent victims.
SPEAKER 12 :
All right. Tell us more about what you guys are doing and how folks can help you.
SPEAKER 04 :
So we have a brand new civil rights initiative where we are filing complaints with the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice. We actually just triggered an investigation. We’re beyond grateful that the U.S. Department of Justice and Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon that are taking action on the complaint that we filed against Steve Discano. We’re looking forward to this as a new path toward justice for victims. And if you’d like to support us, we could use all of your help. It’s VictimsRightsReformCouncil.org. You could also just Google Victims Rights and Jennifer Harrison, and you could find me all over social media.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, we need to help you as much as we possibly can. I know my listenership here, they’re tired of this going on. To your point earlier, it’s just a continual daily story that we continue to hear of really – And I guess I think getting away with crime, by the way, is what I was going to say, Jennifer, but I think what’s frustrating to folks that are listening and myself included, I couldn’t get by with that. Why do they?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, I mean, you’ll hear Cheryl Minter is actually going to testify before the House Judiciary Subcommittee tomorrow. And I think you’re going to hear her tell the story of her daughter, Stephanie, who did have addiction issues. And she actually went to jail when her killer was released. So how is a white woman put in jail and a criminal illegal alien released on violent charges?
SPEAKER 12 :
Great example. Yeah, and I think that’s the frustrating thing that a lot of folks have. By the way, this is very bipartisan because people understand that, oh, this person went free, but this person ends up in jail. It’s not a fair system. It’s not equal under the law like it should be, and that needs fixed. And I appreciate what you guys are doing to fix that.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you so much. We’re going to keep fighting until it is fixed and until we get the accountability and justice that victims deserve.
SPEAKER 12 :
Well, I appreciate it. Jennifer, thank you. We’ll have you back. I appreciate it very much. Thanks for your time.
SPEAKER 04 :
Thank you.
SPEAKER 12 :
You’re very welcome. Yeah. And again, folks, I know from some of you even texting in that you’re right in line with me. You struggle with how some of these illegals in this case get released. And yet those of us, myself included, those of you listening, myself included, we wouldn’t get by with this. So why do they? And I think for a lot of folks listening, that’s the biggest issue. Okay, real quick before I close out this particular segment, I’m going to leave a little early today, by the way. I will let Charlie finish things out here as we go through this next break. But I do want to talk about the trespasser. I’m not calling him a pedestrian. Michael Mott, I believe that is his name. Make sure I get that right. Yeah, Michael Mott, 41. He is the individual that trespassed in DIA, climbed the fence, and then ended up on the runway. And you could see himself even positioning himself where literally he would be sucked into the engine. And this guy, by the way, is a known criminal. He did this maliciously. Yes, it was suicide, but he did this maliciously. We talked about this on the roundtable today. Neil and I did. Here’s the thing that I haven’t heard and we don’t know, but you’d have to start to wonder. Did he know somebody on the plane? Was he trying to do something malicious because he knew that potentially he would take somebody else’s life that he didn’t like on the plane? I don’t know. We may not ever know that. I have no idea. We’re kind of speculating. But it’s just ironic that he did what he did at the time he did it and really almost calculated to know exactly where he needed to be on the runway at that time before that jet went into rotation. And if you know anything about what I just said and you’re a pilot, you’ll know exactly what I mean by that. It’s just it’s not there’s no coincidence, in my opinion. This person knew exactly where they needed to be at that specific time. And they were there. Michael Mott was there. And he’s got a criminal history. This was not a nice individual. Twenty arrests he racked up for felony trespassing in Colorado Springs just one month before he committed suicide. Just one month. He spent time behind bars on three separate occasions going all the way back to 2002. His arrests were for violent crimes, including attempted murder, using a gun in 2005. So again, I’m trying to figure out, with all of that being said and the fact finding that’s been done, who on the plane was he trying to kill? Because my opinion is, and I know I don’t have facts to back this up, but given his history, he didn’t just do this to commit suicide. So who on the airplane did he know and what was he trying to do? Or was he just trying to take down 230 people and he didn’t care who was on the plane? And again, that’s possible. Although typically people do things along these lines targeting somebody. So you have to ask yourself, who was this knucklehead, this potential murderer? Who was he targeting? Yes, he committed suicide in doing what he did. And, of course, I did read this morning, lawsuits are happening already. Passengers from the plane are already suing the city of Denver for – This particular person trespassing and being out on the runway, not getting rid of him soon enough, so on and so forth. So Ramos Law, they’re already on it and they’re doing the lawsuit. They’ve already started that. And I’m not going to say whether I agree or disagree with that. I think you already know my opinion on that. But I don’t know how you would have stopped this knucklehead from doing what he was doing. But lawsuits happen. And I’m sure the city of Denver will end up paying out on this when it’s all said and done. And by the way, that’s another reason why I don’t think cities should run airports. That’s a whole other conversation we can have on another day. All right, Golden Eagle Financial coming up next.
