SPEAKER 13 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 12 :
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 04 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 11 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did.
SPEAKER 13 :
Get a job, sir. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 08 :
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 11 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 14 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by High Five Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right, happy Monday. Start to the week, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Appreciate you all joining us, as I know a lot of you do on a daily and even weekend basis. Real quick question of the day from Friday. What was the primary purpose of the Rosetta Stone, and why was its discovery so significant? The Rosetta Stone was inscribed to honor an Egyptian king and helped decipher Egyptian hieroglyphics due to its trilingual inscription. So there’s your answer on the primary purpose of the Rosetta Stone. Today’s impossible question. What year did the Byzantine Empire fall, marking the end of the Middle Ages in Europe? So that is the question of the day today. All right, today also… Marx, 80—and I haven’t heard many people talk about this. In fact, I had to go look for a couple of news stories on this, but it’s been 80 years since the Auschwitz liberation. So 80 years today, and if you go look, you will find a few stories along these lines and different folks that can recount from, you know, family and so on, some of what happened at that particular time. There are some amazing stories along those lines, and If you’ve ever been to any of the Holocaust museums, you’ll know what I mean by that. They’re literally a life-changing experience. And if you haven’t been to one, I would highly encourage you to go to one. They really are just very… It’s a very learning-slash-solemn experience, and at least for me, you just shake your head the entire time you’re in there. So that’s my take on those museums. I’ve been to one, both of them, one here and one in Israel as well, and they’re great. Okay, in other news, and most of you probably already saw this, the DEA-slash-ICE raid that happened here yesterday. In Colorado, over the weekend in Aurora, there were federal agents that had evidently – shows you that some of these people aren’t real smart – This particular gang, and that’s the same gang that’s been in Aurora causing all the havoc. The gang, of course, that Governor Polis and other news organizations and even a lot of the city officials in Aurora would tell you don’t exist. It’s just a figment of the conservative imagination. That’s basically what they all said. But these federal agents actually – and they didn’t stumble across it. I think they were looking on purpose, but they somehow – got word through social media that there was a makeshift nightclub in North Denver. And it was an invitation only sort of a thing. And come to find out, it was a nightclub that had been set up by this gang. So they sweep in early Sunday morning around 5 a.m., and they end up arresting about 50 undocumented immigrants. A lot of them, in fact, I think by and large, the majority of them were affiliated with that particular organization. gang that we’ve talked about many times on this program again aurora officials and state officials and even those in the police world would say that we’re all crazy this didn’t really exist now though some of them changed their tune after the last go around where the gang members kidnapped individuals stabbed them and so on things changed a little bit at that point in time but our own governor i don’t know if he’s ever admitted to the fact that this stuff has gone on but you know Kudos to Trump and his, you know, new appointees and what’s going on when it comes to immigration and the deportation of individuals, especially these types of individuals. And I believe they also found a particular form of cocaine at this particular party and other things and weapons and other things as well. So, you know, 50 less thugs, scum of the earth, I’ll call it what it is, roaming the United States of America soil. So I don’t know where these folks are going to go to. I don’t know how that’s actually going to work, whether they’ll be prosecuted here, whether they’re going to be sent back where they came from. You also saw over the weekend where Donald Trump had immigration. They decided, ICE, that they were going to ship some of these individuals back to their home country, Colombia being one of them. Columbia says, yeah, no, you can’t do that. And Trump says, OK, well, if you’re going to play that way, then we’re going to do X, Y, Z when it comes to tariffs and support for you and and and. And it wasn’t but literally an hour later where, you know, the head of Columbia comes back and says, OK, I guess you can go ahead and drop them off personally. OK. And I know this wouldn’t work because you’d get too much kickback on it, but I would say in the future, if they don’t want you landing there and they’re not willing to support a military landing and take those people and do what’s needed, send them out with parachutes. Literally. All right, here you go, boys. You know when to pull the cord. If not, that’s on you. Count to 10 and pull. If you don’t know how to count to 10, that’s on you. That’s what I do. And I know that sounds really harsh, but you know what? Some of these, because right now, keep in mind, all these people that are being deported, these are not your average migrants and illegal aliens that came to America. This is the worst of the worst. Keep that in mind. These are the scum of the earth that, frankly, in my opinion, don’t deserve to be anywhere nonetheless here. Just like these 50 gang members that we rounded up here in Colorado over the weekend. Yeah, these folks, in my opinion, they don’t, I’ll just be straight up honest, they don’t deserve to live. I’m sorry, they don’t deserve to live. Knowing what this particular gang has done, not only in Aurora, but, you know, in other countries, other states. Yeah, scum of the earth. Scum of the earth. As far as I care, you can push them out of the airplane without a parachute. I could care less. That’s how I view this type of individual that has come to America to wreak havoc. And by the way, that Joe Biden and his cronies allow to just walk in freely. And then to further that, we have the city of Aurora, like I said earlier, the governor, certain news organizations, Kyle Clark, I hope you’re listening, and others that basically said, yeah, that’s a lot to do about nothing out there in Aurora. You guys are crazy. That building owner, they’re crazy. That’s not going on. There’s no gang members there. There’s no issues going on there. I can’t tell you how many times the news organizations here in Colorado, the governor and Aurora officials said, yeah, nothing to see there. Just look the other way. There’s nothing going on there until finally now. Maybe now they’re going to pay attention. So this is what all I can say is this is what the left does. I had a great conversation with some good friends and neighbors of mine up in the mountains yesterday where we had this conversation and really asking, why is this happening? And the answer is, it’s happening because this is part of the core of Marxism and how you change a country is through open borders, the chaos, the crime, the things that come in with it. This is part of Marxism, folks. And if you don’t believe me, go look it up. And you’ll find that that’s at its core. And it’s one of the great disruptors of a country. And I’ve got other stories today that I’ll share with you regarding other countries, by the way, that have allowed some of this to happen in the past. But bottom line is they want the left wants this. This is by design. This wasn’t just willy nilly. We’re going to open the borders. And by the way, it’s not just willy nilly. We’re going to open the borders so we can get more Democrat voters. That’s what a lot of folks on our side even think. We can just get more Democrat voters. No, that’s not the reason for an open, porous border. It’s one of, and it’s a byproduct of, but it’s not the core reason. Trust me when I say that. And to top that off, Don’t forget how much money has been pouring into the cartels literally since the time Joe and his cronies agreed to go ahead and let the border be open and porous. I can’t tell you, and I’m not sure anybody can, how many billions, literally billions of dollars have funneled into Mexican cartels and others, but especially Mexican cartels. And I would really love, it’d be nice if Donald Trump would allocate somebody to go say, okay, let’s at least get a round estimate as to how much money we have funneled into the cartels through the allowance of drugs, cocaine, marijuana, fentanyl, others. All the coyotes. Thank you, Charlie. The sex trafficking, which is, by the way, the inventory level on that is even different than drugs because it’s constant. On and on we go. I’d really like to know what that number is and how much money the Biden administration and his leftist cronies, his Marxist cronies, funneled into the cartels and made them rich. Not that they weren’t already, but you wonder why Mexico has such a hard time keeping things intact, and yet we as a country, did nothing but provide more ammunition and power to the cartels over the past four years, it’s no wonder Mexico itself as a country has no control over them. And by the way, what I just said is very true. They have no control over them. Zero. They pay lip service to it, and they’ll do some raids here and there, and they’ll try to do some different things to apprehend some cartel members. But the reality is, and anybody that’s been to Mexico knows what I’m talking about, the reality is the cartels run the country. The president and her cabinet and the people that she has around her, which it’s a female president now in Mexico, she has literally zero control. The cartel runs the country. Now, I will tell you right now that the cartel, I guarantee you, is not happy about what’s going on at the border because Donald Trump just cut into their wallet. Now, did he take all their money away? No, as long as there’s a… As long as there is a want for the product in the U.S., you’re not going to stop everything that they do. But I will tell you that it’s going to be much harder for them to make the kind of money that they were making prior, given what Donald Trump has done at the border. even sending troops to the border. The cartel, I guarantee you, is not happy. So my prediction on that, and I don’t have a crystal ball, but I don’t think I’ll be wrong in this prediction, they will lash out some way, somehow. So be on your guard. especially those of you that know some of you that listen, have family or friends or yourself, maybe down around some of the border areas and so on. Be really careful. Be mindful of what’s going on, because I guarantee you the cartel is not happy right now. And especially when you read what happened here in Colorado with these 50 gang members now being rounded up, and that’s going to happen in other parts of the country. Yeah, they’re not going to be happy. All I can say is go Trump. This stuff wouldn’t have happened two weeks ago. But within a week, within a week, literally, because it’s a week today that Donald Trump became president, was inaugurated. This stuff happened within seven days, literally six days, if you would, of him becoming president of the United States. So Golden Eagle Financial coming up next.

SPEAKER 04 :
Reason. Now back to John Rush.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Ben and Evergreen, go ahead, Ben.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, you know, by the way, what you said about these people being run off, I agree. In fact, if I were doing your show today, you know, where you are, you stole my thunder. I just said all that stuff. In fact, the difference is the really bad guys, I’d give them a fair trial. And I’d tell, first of all, these guys, I’d run them off. And I’d tell them, if you come back and you commit a felony here, today you get a parachute. When you’ve been convicted of a capital crime, we’re taking you back to Venezuela. We’re dumping you in the middle of Caracas with no parachutes. And also all these ice guys, you know, that’s kind of tough work. It’s risky, unsafe work. I agree. You’ve got to thank them and all the marshals, whoever helped out. Because, you know, some of these guys are not playing fair. No, I agree. They’re not morally – there’s something wrong with them.
SPEAKER 09 :
These are depraved individuals, Ben, and it’s interesting what you said just a moment ago, too. I got a couple of text messages in on this, and I had not heard this, but a couple of people messaged in and said, listen, there are reports out there that DEA and others had been – and other agencies had been working on this particular gang here in Colorado for quite some time. I think in a lot of cases, Ben, these guys are just waiting for the right time with the right administration that would back them up on doing what’s necessary, point being – This has been known about for a long time, even though the governor, Aurora officials, our local news and so on would never admit that these things actually existed.
SPEAKER 03 :
And you’ve got to thank the feds for doing this. You know, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Absolutely. And I’m glad to see it happening the way it is. And then, you know, I’m thinking about all these drugs coming from Mexico. And, you know… I think it’s kind of a first world problem. I mean, what is it about Americans that we’ve got to be sniffing cocaine, popping pills, smoking, whatever it is? I mean, is life a first of all, is it that bad here? And you have that much money left… No, actually, really quick, Ben.
SPEAKER 09 :
Honestly, I believe it’s quite the opposite. Because it’s so good, and people have so much time on their hand, and in a lot of cases have extra cash and so on, it’s because of that that they do these things.
SPEAKER 03 :
You know, I saw a video a few years ago, and this guy was in, like, Kurdistan, and there was this field of pot. And he said to this girl… Would you think anybody would mind if I smoked some of this pot? And she said, probably not. But if you lived here, you’d spend so much time working. and paying your bills, you wouldn’t have time for that. That’s my point. Maybe it is a first world problem. I don’t know, man.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, and trust me, I would never say, Ben, that these sorts of things don’t happen in other countries. But I think to answer your main question, why does that happen here as much as it does? Well, because of what we just discussed. I mean, the reality is our people have a lot more time and resources on their hand to do so, in my opinion.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, let me ask you, I just was thinking.
SPEAKER 09 :
And really quick, let me add something else I want to add to that, too, Ben. I also think that, and this might be eye-opening to some, but I also think that’s part of the Marxist movement as well, Ben.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I’ve seen those communist manifesto things years ago, back in, like, 1990s. And I would tell people, hey, this is coming along. And they’re like, yeah, right. You know, was there a black helicopter? And I’m thinking, well, now that it’s really happening, do you believe me now? And you’ve got guys like Jared Polis who’s helping bring it about. And, by the way, it disgusts me that Polis behaves that way because probably the municipal cops – would have handled that if you took the gloves off. And the federal government I never thought I’d be thanking them for doing our dirty work, because I usually don’t like big government, but by God, it’s working.
SPEAKER 09 :
And this is, again, not trying to, you know, anybody that’s working for Aurora Police and so on, and there’s a lot of great men and women, I’m sure, that are there, Ben, that probably felt very frustrated that they couldn’t do things about this and probably realized that there was a real problem there, but their hands were tied because of you know, city government and so on. That’s the problem, by the way. When you get outside of the sheriff’s department, by the way, which sheriff is elected and becomes the, you know, the supreme law of the land, if you would, that, you know, as you know, the sheriffs are elected and they are number one when it comes to these things. The reality, though, Ben, every other local agency, including Aurora PD, keep in mind that everybody in the hierarchy there is subject to city hall and so on. And that’s the problem with a lot of police departments, if you ask me.
SPEAKER 03 :
I couldn’t agree more. I say, really, in Colorado, it’s time for us to take out the trash in terms of these leaders. Absolutely. It really is. And a lot of people would say, oh, it’ll never happen here. Wait a minute. Yeah, just a couple of months ago, I heard Trump would never get elected. Yeah, don’t hold your breath. And California, oh, it’s done for. Well, you know, I think that, you know, when you look at their state and ours, pretty soon… Everybody’s going to have enough. You’ve got to reach this critical mass where instead of figuring out this was dumb a few years ago, electing and signing on with these people, then it’s like, hey, wait a minute. We’re done with this. We’ve figured out it doesn’t work out. And I don’t know, honestly, why more people haven’t figured that out, these con artists.
SPEAKER 09 :
They might be, Ben. In fact, I will tell you, I’ve got some things. We’ve got a guest here at 3.30, and I’m going to come back and talk about some of the things that Polis has said regarding us not being a sanctuary state. And, of course, Governor Polis, he’s always vying for – in my opinion, he’s vying for the presidency. He does everything he can to sort of – move in that direction although i will tell you some of the things that he has done of late including this particular statement is not going to bode well for him going down the road because the reality is uh you can call him out on a lot of these things and show his hypocrisy
SPEAKER 03 :
Just show the facts. You know, it’s time for a new governor. And all the women out there and people that think that this is a good idea, is this really what you want for your kids, your family, your economy, and your community? You know, I’m not all in with different big business and things that go on in America. But this is doubling down. Some of these trends are stupid.
SPEAKER 09 :
I agree. Can’t argue that.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’ll let you go. Thanks, Ben.
SPEAKER 09 :
No, I appreciate it very much. And, yes, I will take our guest and come back and talk a little bit about Governor Polis. It fits into a lot of what we’re talking about right now as well.

SPEAKER 09 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. And yes, I’ve got a full timeline, by the way, of events here in Colorado that disprove what Governor Polis has said recently about Colorado not being a sanctuary state. So I’ll get into that here once we’re done and we come back after our next guest who we’ve got with us right now. Cheryl Chumley joining us. Cheryl, welcome. How are you?
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m doing great. Thank you for having me.
SPEAKER 09 :
Author of God Given or Bust, Defeating Marxism and Saving America with Biblical Truths. I got done in the last segment, literally opened up. We’ve had all sorts of things going on regarding immigration and different things along those lines, Cheryl. And over the weekend, we had a big bust here. in Colorado where 50 gang members were arrested, and I’m not sure exactly where they’re going to go from here, but my point was that open borders, which create all sorts of chaos and havoc in America, are also one of the foundations of Marxism.
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, absolutely. And look, this is great news. You know, if your listeners are like me, my head’s been spinning at how fast Trump is undoing all the damage from the previous administration. But, and this is why I wrote the book, God Given or Bust. Sooner or later, Trump is going to leave office, right? Sooner or later, there’s going to be a Democrat in the White House, and we’re going to be having to go through the same exhausting battles all over again. So while we’re winning right now, and while we have a little bit of breather in the politics and culture, You know, I say we look ahead to the bigger fight for freedom in America, and it’s to get our political leaders to realize and abide the concept of American exceptionalism, that is, that our rights come from a creator. And they’re only there as humble public servants to protect those birthrights.
SPEAKER 09 :
Absolutely. And I look at it, Cheryl, as it’s good versus evil, not saying that every single person that is not a Marxist is good, but literally the battle is good versus evil. And Cheryl, the other thing – and I’m glad you said what you said because not only do we have to worry about when the next presidency changes, but the reality is behind the scenes – and this is for everybody listening – Yes, Donald Trump’s doing some fabulous things. Yes, a lot of the folks that he appoints will do some fabulous things as well. And the reality is that the tide will be changed to a certain degree, Cheryl. But don’t think for one second that behind the scenes all of these Marxists have given up because they haven’t.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, just look at the media, right? I mean, look at how the media is trying to already poke holes in Donald Trump’s successes. So, you know, give it a couple more months and the media will be in full stride. The behind-scenes, deep-state, nefarious forces that really came out swinging at Donald Trump the first time around, they’re regrouping. They’re re-strategizing, and they’re going to come out with something else soon. It’s not going to be Russia collusion, but it’ll be something else.
SPEAKER 09 :
Absolutely, yeah. I want to remind everybody, and you know this, Cheryl, the Marxist movement isn’t going to stop. It may get delayed ever so slightly. We may be able to, you know. Again, this is a great war. We may be able to win some battles, push some things back here or there. Eventually, we want to win overall. But as you know, this is a continual battle that, in my opinion, will continue on until the second coming.
SPEAKER 05 :
It will. And these are all really, look at it, all these fights that we engage in on the political and cultural fronts and even economical fronts. They’re all kind of whack-a-mole battles, right? They’re smaller ones. You put one out and then another one pops up. But if you keep in mind that the actual war is in line with the battle of principalities, as you described, good versus evil, right? It’s the fight for individualism versus collectivism. God-given rights versus government-granted rights. That’s what the ultimate war is in America, to make sure that we have individual liberties and rights for the long term.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s absolutely right. And so many people, well, because we don’t teach what you just said anymore, Cheryl, that’s not taught in our school systems any longer. By the way, that’s part of Marxism as well. That’s on purpose. They don’t want people knowing and realizing and being taught from an early age what you just said.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, they don’t. And as a matter of fact, and I’ve covered this in a couple of past books I’ve written, for years now, the Democrat Socialists of America, the DSA, has been actively recruiting members to go into the school systems, into the public school systems, and become teachers and administrators in order to train the next generation of American leaders in the socialist way to go, which includes booting truthful history and, God forbid, civics lessons.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s right. And Cheryl, what you’re talking about, and I’ve said this over and over and over again, the Marxists and that whole movement, they’re playing the long game. They’ve been playing it for 60, maybe even 70 plus years now, Cheryl, here in the United States of America. The reality is they play the long game. Well, I hate to say this. Our side plays the short game.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, and that’s the problem, and that’s really why I wrote this book, because I want to sort of tweak our fight to look at the long game here, right? And what happens is, it sort of clarifies the battle, right? Because then it becomes all about fighting for the God-given, and if you win that, everything else falls into place. But there’s also the added benefit in that it energizes you. Because think how exhausting it is to fight this battle. You get a win and then move on to that battle. You get a lose, right? It’s one step forward, ten steps back. But if you keep in mind the larger war here, suddenly it just becomes one war, not a million battles.
SPEAKER 09 :
And that’s where, Cheryl, again, not trying to boost the other side or give them kudos of any kind, but the reality is they do very well at what you just said. And by the way, they’re really good at also – and by the way, not all. I’m talking about those that are – the ringleaders behind all of this. I’m not talking about the minions, the worker bees, if you would. I’m talking about those that are really behind the scenes trying to push all this stuff through, Cheryl. They understand there’s going to be some losses. They also know there’s going to be wins. They’re really good at, by the way, how should I say this, celebrating their wins, not getting too down and out about the losses and continuing on with their fight. We need to take some of that on our side and do the exact same thing.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, because mostly all they have is this world, right? Right. If you look at the left, they’re largely filled with secularists, humanists, atheists, right? So they think this is it. When they die, whatever they leave behind in terms of their political wins, that’s their legacy. They have no concept or belief in a higher power, an afterlife, a second life. And so that’s why they can afford to dig in and give all to this life, because that’s all they think.
SPEAKER 09 :
Yeah, and by the way, I’m not saying that our side is wrong in how we look at things because we look at differently. We know that there’s a different end. We look at things, to your point, about how they see things. We are completely the opposite, but on the same token, Cheryl, We do live here. We are present now. There are certain God-given things that we should and have to be doing to continue to fight against the evil that’s out there. It’s very much what God told us to do since the fall of man. I mean, the reality is we are to be fighting with every single thing we possibly can. And I’m afraid at times, Cheryl, some of us just think, oh, you know, it’s going to be what it’s going to be, and I know where I’m going in the end, so who cares?
SPEAKER 05 :
Oh, I live in this world, but not of this world. Jesus commands me to obey our elected leaders because they’re appointed.
SPEAKER 09 :
And by the way, that is not even scriptural for the government we have today, but that’s a whole other conversation.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s true, because that— We don’t live in a kingdom.
SPEAKER 09 :
We live in a constitutional republic where we personally are the kings, by the way.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes. And, you know, that whole line that Jesus would be a socialist if he were here today. No, he wouldn’t. Yeah. You know, read your Bible. Read your Bible properly. And the reason that we are facing dark times in America right now, well, we were up until the inauguration, was because Christians, those who supposedly know better about Judeo-Christian rights because they understand the Judeo-Christian principles in the Bible, sat too long on the sidelines, didn’t want to get involved. Right. And this is how evil takes root. That’s right.
SPEAKER 09 :
That’s exactly right. No, you are spot on. As you can tell, we very much think alike. I’m glad you wrote the book, because I am not an author. And those of you listening, God Given or Bust, Defeating Marxism and Saving America with Biblical Truth. And really what we’re saying, Cheryl, is, you know, saving America the way it’s supposed to be. In other words, having a real revival, if you would, getting people back to the core of not only how this country was founded, but how our faith was founded as well. And the reality is we’ve gotten far too away from some of those things.
SPEAKER 05 :
Absolutely. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness endowed by our Creator. That’s the concept we’re going for.
SPEAKER 09 :
Cheryl, thank you for being with us. I appreciate it very much, and thank you for the book. And one last thing, too. Where do people get it?
SPEAKER 05 :
Amazon, anywhere books are available. Thank you for that.
SPEAKER 09 :

SPEAKER 04 :
Now back to Rush to Reason on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 09 :
All right. In response to a few, whether it be text messages, posts on different forums and things like that, Charlie and I were just talking a moment ago that there’s folks out there now that, of course, on the left typically will now come in and say, well, you know, this big raid that happened in Denver in the 50 that were arrested, you know, that really that was happening a couple of months prior. And, you know, that’s actually you know, that’s really not Donald Trump. You can’t credit that to him. But. When was the election? Two plus months ago? How many things started to change immediately after the election, including even some of the things that Biden and some of those folks were even doing? And yeah, I won’t tell you that the people that did the raid were probably those still working in Washington. the Biden regime, if you would, or under the past administration. I mean, let’s face it, those are probably the same folks that were out there now that have been doing these things for quite some time. Although I will tell you, and I haven’t interviewed any of them, so I can’t talk to them and I can’t say this for sure, but I’m guessing that they feel a freedom now to to do some things that they probably felt a little bit handcuffed to do prior to now, and you got to believe that they have just felt unleashed to do the things that they’ve been wanting to do in these areas for quite some time, and they now can, and by the way, did. Now— I also had somebody that said, you know, don’t be too hard on, you know, Aurora PD and so on, because, you know, in a lot of cases, they’re probably just not equipped to even handle these things the way that, you know, in this particular case, the feds and ICE and so on would be able to do. And I can’t disagree with that. In fact, I’ve talked about some of this stuff. And by the way, it’s why I and I’ve had a lot of kickback on this from not a lot of you, but there are a few listeners that really give me fits over this particular statement. It’s why I don’t like the weaponization, militarily speaking, of local PDs. I don’t want them having armored vehicles and tanks and things like that. And some would come back and say, well, if they did, they could go in and handle these sorts of things like this gang that took over an apartment complex in Aurora. Well, and that’s where I draw the line and say, well, you know, at that particular point in time where it’s because of a administration that allowed open borders and these folks flooded in and this gang then took over that particular building, that’s not the local PD’s responsibility to fix. That is a situation where the Fed should come in and fix it. We didn’t open the border. Aurora PD did not open the border. Whether some of them on that police department agree with it or not, the reality is they were not key and instrumental in having the border open. So the reality is, because of the border being open, is why we had that apartment complex and this gang running amok all over Aurora, by the way. And it’s not just Aurora. They were doing things even in downtown Denver and so on. But yet we had city officials, Johnston, a governor… et cetera, that basically said, yeah, this isn’t going on. Just look the other way. My point is, I agree that the Aurora PD is probably not equipped to go in and handle 50 gang members like this and handle this particular situation. And I would add to that, nor do I want them to. I don’t want that out of a local police department. It’s like I’ve said many times. It’s why I don’t want local police departments, sheriffs, and other type agencies owning ex-military vehicles and the like. It’s not their responsibility to do these things. And I don’t want them armed that way. And I know I might be even a little bit unique on the conservative front to even say those things, but I don’t want a local PD and a local police force becoming the feds. I don’t want a federal police force either. I don’t want local police agencies being weaponized in that way. Now, should they be able to have AR-15s and things along those lines, and should they have a SWAT department and so on, a bomb squad? Yeah, some of those probably are okay in certain circumstances and so on, and I’m not against SWAT or bomb squads or anything along those lines, but I am against… having armored vehicles inside of police agencies, local police agencies. I just don’t feel like that’s the proper role of government. And I know some would argue with me and some I’ve had long debates via email back and forth from certain individuals when it comes to this. And some people, frankly, probably don’t even listen to me any longer because of my stance in that particular area. But I’m not backing down. I think it gives the wrong perception to the citizens in that particular town, city, whatever it is, when that police department becomes that. And I think it sends the wrong signal and the wrong message. That’s my opinion, and I know others may have differences of opinions on that, and that’s fine. We can, in some cases, agree to disagree. We don’t always agree, and that’s fine. But in that particular case, in this case, I should say, yeah, I don’t think it was the Aurora PD’s responsibility to round these 50 gang members up. I do think this is a situation where ICE and others, DEA, et cetera, should come in and help round these individuals up. They’re equipped for this. That’s what they’ve been trained to do. Fine. Come in and do your job. Now, I also will tell you that despite what some might say, that this isn’t under Donald Trump’s watch, that this really happened. This was prior to him. I would argue that and say, yeah, maybe the investigative part of it was before Trump was inaugurated. But the reality is this arrest didn’t happen two weeks ago. This arrest didn’t happen a few days before Trump was inaugurated. It happened within a week of him being inaugurated, mainly because the mandate now coming out of Holman is we are going to send these bad guys home. We are not putting up with this any longer. There is a mandate to get rid of these individuals that have flooded our country, especially the bad actors, and they’re not going to do this any longer. And by the way, that’s the way it should have been from day one. But it hasn’t been because we’ve had an administration that literally put in open borders on purpose because of what I’ve talked about already up to this point. It’s the Marxist way of doing things. It creates chaos. It disrupts. It even gets focused in some areas. where you’re focused here and they’re doing something else over there. Yeah, that’s the way the Marxists want, and that was part of the movement. And frankly, at least at this point in time, back to our guest we had a moment ago, Cheryl, at least it’s been stopped for now. Will it be stopped forever? That depends on how people vote. I do think right now there’s been a huge wake-up call to a lot of Americans to where they’re looking at this now and saying, wow, this guy means business. We’re not dinking around as a country. We’re actually flying these people back to where they came from because we’re not going to let these bad actors hang around. which you’ve got to look at the rest of the population. And I know there’s a lot of folks on the left, and they’re running around talking about a revolt and things along those lines. Keep in mind, these are a bunch of wussy lefties that, frankly, I’m not sure even know which end of the gun to shoot. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that. They act all tough, but they’re a bunch of wussies. They’re all talk, all bark. Reality is most of them don’t even know what gender they are, and they’re going to have some sort of a revolution. I’m sorry. No, you’re not. Go figure out what you’re going to do next as far as the color of your hair or the gender that you want to be and everything else, and if you’re going to shave your head or not, because that’s another big thing that a lot of those folks have done of late in protest to Donald Trump. They can’t even figure out what they’re doing as far as that goes, and they’re going to lead a revolution? Yeah, I think not. Sorry. Not going to happen. And I don’t say that lightly, by the way, because there are those on that side. I’ve seen them. Some have even been arrested of late for trying to organize some of these things. So I’m not saying that this isn’t going on because it is. What I’m saying is good luck. You know, good luck. I don’t think that that side really wants to see how that ends if they follow through with some of these things. I’ve said that for years. The left doesn’t understand the right at all. And we’re nice. We like to get along. You know, we’re the type that, you know, wave and shake hands and do all sorts of things along those lines. And, oh, by the way, also probably have, you know, several different firearms that we own. And, you know, the stats show that, by and large, we own the majority. They don’t. Now, of late, because of crime and so on, a lot of folks on the left have gone out and bought firearms and done things along those lines. But by and large, that’s not typically the gun-toting American citizen. Most gun-toting American citizens are on the right or on the conservative side, or at least down the middle. And what I’m saying is those that are on the left that are trying to create and start this quote-unquote revolution, it’s not going to end well, folks. If you’re a lefty listening to me and you’re one of those, you know, have fun. More power to you. But it’s not going to end well. I don’t need a crystal ball for it. I can just tell you the math isn’t in your favor. You’re heading down a street or the old Top Gun saying, you know, you’re doing something, you know, writing a check that your body can’t cash. That’s the reality of it. You’re doing something that you really don’t have the ability to do nor should be doing in the first place. And when it goes wrong, you’re going to wish you’d never started down that path. I know you’re all upset because Donald Trump won. Well, suck it up, buttercup. Don’t know what to tell you. It is what it is. Overwhelmingly, Donald Trump won the last election. Overwhelmingly. Meaning the majority of voters in this country, not even the electorate, just voters in general, are tired of the direction the country was headed. They want a change. And I’ve said it a number of times. It’s not even so much Donald Trump that they voted for. It’s that they voted for somebody that would come in and put a stop to the nonsense. Literally, put a stop to the nonsense. And a lot of young men especially are tired of being put down, tired of being told they don’t matter, tired of literally just being told you don’t amount to anything. And they came up and voted and voted for the guy in charge right now. So those of you that are out there trying to start some revolution, which most of you are young white females, by the way. Amazingly enough, most of them that I have seen that want to do this revelation aren’t young white males or young black males or young Asian males or young Hispanic males. What’s interesting is the majority of the people that are in for this particular revolution that they’re trying to start are young white females. So have fun, ladies. It’s not going to end the way that you think it will, but it’s a free country. Do whatever you think you want to do and start whatever you want to start, but just remember there’s consequences. So have fun, because it’s not going to end the way that you think it’s going to end. Let’s do this. Insurance, that’s a big deal. And even with all the things that I’ve just done talking about, the things that happen, whether you’re driving, whether it’s your home, whatever it happens to be, you’ve got to make sure that you’re insured correctly.

SPEAKER 09 :
All right, we are back. About a minute left here of this particular hour. We’ve got two more hours coming your way. Of course, I didn’t get a chance to go through the timeline proving that Governor Polis is 100% wrong when he says that Colorado is not a sanctuary state. That was, by the way, a statement he made back to a sheriff that had said that basically we are. We are. I mean, I’ve been on air here for, gosh, the past decade plus. And yes, from the point Governor Polis got elected until now, he’s done everything possible to make sure he assists all the different towns and so on that want to go that route and be a sanctuary city. He has very much been behind them, and there’s all sorts of bills in this state that have been passed that he has signed. that would tell you otherwise as far as what he’s saying. In other words, he’s dead wrong. He’s a liar, which we know he is. He’s a hypocrite, which we know he is. And I’ll go through some of that timeline here as soon as we come back here, top of the hour. So don’t go anywhere. Hour two is next. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 12 :
I’m a rich guy.
