We search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And it’s never compassionate, my friends, to take other people’s stuff, whether or not it’s their rights, their property, freedom, livelihoods, opportunities, or lives, via force. And force can be a weapon, policy, unpredictable and excessive taxation, fear, coercion, government-induced inflation, feeling that big time right now, the World Economic Forum, the globalist elites, the United Nations, the Colorado State Legislature, this governor. the World Health Organization, land use codes, zoning regulations, and forced fees. And if something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And we focus on these issues, try to stay out of the personalities. We will talk about the people. In fact, I wanted to talk a little bit about Doug Burgum, who is a former North Dakota governor. and he has been picked by Trump to be, I believe, the Secretary of the Department of the Interior, and had one of our listeners, thank you, Ron, that reached out and said, really excited about these picks. I said, I’m a little concerned about Burgum, and he said, why? Because his understanding was the Sierra Club was opposed to Burgum, which, yes, the Sierra Club is one of those, it’s become really a um echo activist group and so yes that would be a good sign but i had remembered this and i’ve done some research on it let me find here here we go this is from the um grand forks herald and this was dated let me get to it oh gosh Here we go. It was May 12, 2016. And this is the headline. Bill Gates donates $100,000 to Doug Burgum’s campaign for North Dakota governor. So that’s why I think we’re going to really need to keep an eye on what’s happening there because that just is of great concern. So let that… Let that hang out there. I wanted to say thank you to Laramie Energy for their gold sponsorship of the show. It’s reliable, efficient, affordable, and abundant energy that powers our lives and fuels our hopes and dreams. I need to add on to that all of these petroleum derivatives that really make our lives better. better. Just everything that we touch is basically a petroleum derivative. And so all these things make our lives better. And so we have to question why there is this movement to try to shut down our oil, gas, and coal industries. And so thank you to Laramie Energy for their gold sponsorship of the show. I greatly appreciate that. Our word of the day, and this is, I think this came from Richard. It’s thwart, T-H-W-A-R-T. And it could be to prevent the occurrence, realization, or attainment of. And as they thwarted her plans or number two definition to oppose and defeat the efforts, plans or ambitions of someone to move across or counter to cross. And I think there’s great concern. Obviously, the bureaucrats would like to thwart the Trump agenda and the Democrats would like to thwart Trump. the Trump agenda, but we need to have the Republicans get on board and get this government less centralized, push that out to the states and local and most of all to the people. And so we’ll have to watch as I’m sure there are those that will want to thwart these plans. And our quote of the day came from Mary Jansen, Ronald Reagan. And he said this. He said, we don’t have inflation because we are living too well. We have it because the government is living too well. And that’s Ronald Reagan. Of course, Ronald Reagan was born in 1911, died in 2004. He was an American politician and actor who served as the 40th president of the United States. He was a member of the Republican Party. However, he initially was a Democrat. and he became an important figure in the American conservative movement, and his presidency is known as the Reagan era. So again, we don’t have inflation because we are living too well. We have it because the government is living too well. Let’s see, several things in history. 1307, William Tell reputedly shoots the apple off of his son’s head. A couple of weather events in 1421, the Southern Sea floods 72 villages, killing an estimated 10,000 in the Netherlands. And in 1424, another storm ravages the Dutch coast. And I bring up these weather events because we have weather. The climate changes all the time. And this whole climate change narrative is being used to really kind of weaponize the elites against the everyday people. And that’s why this film that Walt Johnson wanted to create. So he financed it and the executive producer on it. is A Climate Conversation. And check that out at aclimateconversation.com. You can watch the documentary for free. It’s just a little under an hour. It’s very well done. The director and writer was actually, they worked together, Colton Moyer and Walt Johnson. to come up with just Socratic questioning with experts and scientists about this whole climate narrative. So be sure and check that out. And then we’ve added in an amazing set of podcasts with experts and scientists that are very, very informative. And so be sure and check all that out at aclimateconversation.com. Let’s see. There was one other weather event that I had in here. It was 1993. The North Siberian record for cold was a negative 55 degrees Celsius. And so, yeah, that was a pretty, pretty cold. And let’s see. This was interesting. I thought 1477, the first English-dated printed book, Dictys and Sanges of the Philosophers by William Caxton, was printed at his press in London. And I look around now at the many, many books that we have, and I thought, gosh, 1477, can you imagine the first book? So there’s that. Let’s see. Oh, huge news here. President Trump names Chris Wright from here, right here in Colorado. He is the head of Liberty Energy as the next energy secretary. So that is a pretty big deal. And then many of you sent this over. This was let’s see here. Gosh, I have all these open and then I have them in all these different different spots here. Here we go. And this was the GOP releases the audio of Griswold telling county clerks about the password leak. and many of you sent that over and so stay tuned on this we’re going to create i think a colorado 2025 election project the colorado 2024 election project you all helped with that so much and so those two lawsuits are out there regarding our elections the first we raised the money for the legal team for the united sovereign americans And that court case is out there. As Peter Brunegger said, we’re now in the ping pong phase of legal action. It’s back and forth. And so that’s where that is with United Sovereign Americans. We will have Marlee Hornick on the show tomorrow, who is the co-founder, to give us an update. And then the second phase ended up with Peter Brunegger with the Wisconsin Center for Election Justice. And that lawsuit was filed before Election Day as well. stating that our voter rolls are not clean. So we’ve got those two lawsuits out there. And so now we’re looking at this BIOS password situation, also the fraudulent ballots that went through in Mesa County. And it’s against the law to certify an election if you know that there’s problems with it. So that’s going to be kind of the next thing I think that we’re going to be working on and also some potential legislation. So we’re going to get to work on a new Colorado 2025 election project. So stay tuned. And thank you to all of you who have helped us with that. It really has been super helpful. And Hooters Restaurants is a great sponsor of the show. They have been a sponsor of the show for many years and also of America’s Veterans Stories. And America’s Veterans Stories yesterday was a great interview with Pepe Ramirez, kind of part two, a sergeant major, a Marine veteran. And you can hear that again. That will broadcast this next Sunday night, 10 to 11 p.m. But Hooters Restaurants has five locations, Loveland, Aurora, Lone Tree, Westminster, and Colorado Springs. How I got to know them, it’s a very, very important story about freedom and free markets and capitalism and kind of bumping up against PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties. If you’re interested in learning more about that, you can find that at my website under our sponsors tab. And so be sure and check that out as well. One other thing. It looks like the Democrats very possibly may lose the Colorado House supermajority. There are some recounts. Rebecca Kelty down in the Colorado Springs area. It’s very, very close. She is an excellent candidate working to unseat Representative Vigil. And so I think they’re working on that right now. And so anyway, this was said after the GOP wins two more races as final votes are tallied. That’s from the Colorado Sun. And so this is really huge. People out there, these excellent candidates that are stepping forward and running. And thank you to all of you who are curing ballots today. and making all of this happen. It’s really like, it’s just like man-to-man combat almost, it seems like, fighting out on these races. But thank you to all of you who are doing that.

We’re an independent voice and we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And I know many of us have heard this term recess appointments. And what does that mean exactly? This is from the Associated Press. And it’s what are recess appointments and how could Trump use them to fill his cabinet? This is by Stephen Groves. It says, as President-elect Donald Trump moves to set up a more forceful presidency than in his first term, he is choosing loyalists for his cabinet and considering a tool known as recess appointments to skip over Senate confirmations for even some of the most powerful positions in the U.S. government. It says Trump over the weekend demanded that Republican leaders in the Senate who will hold a majority in the chamber next year agree to allow recess appointments. It would be a significant shift in power away from the Senate. But Trump is returning to Washington with almost total support from his party, including the more traditional Republicans who still hold sway in the chamber. says their commitment, however, is being tested now that Trump has turned to picked people outside the Republican Party mainstream, like former Representative Matt Gaetz of Florida and Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii for top positions. It quickly became apparent Wednesday that figures like Gates, who Trump announced as his choice for attorney general, may struggle to gain majority support from the Senate, even though Senate Republicans will enjoy a 53 seat majority. But that may not matter if Trump is able to use recess recess appointments. And how do they work? says the Senate, as set up by the Constitution, holds an important role in confirming or rejecting high level officials like cabinet positions, judges and ambassadors. It’s part of the government’s checks and balances that ensures the president does not get to unilaterally rule. However, there is a clause in the Constitution that allows presidents to fill out their administrations while the Senate is in recess. During the nation’s early history, Congress would take months-long breaks from Washington and presidents could use those recess appointments. Hold on, these pop-ups are such a pain in the kazoo here. Hold on. As we’re working through this. And I’m sorry about that, guys. Hold on here. And it says, but more recently, the process of recess appointments have been featured in partisan fights with the president. President Bill Clinton made 139 recess appointments, and President George W. Bush made 171, though neither used the process for top-level cabinet positions, according to the Congressional Research Service. President Barack Obama tried to continue the practice, using it 32 times, but a 2014 Supreme Court ruling put a check on the president’s power to make recess appointments. It goes on to say, it says, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Senate has to recess or adjourn for 10 days before a president can make unilateral appointments. That’s resulted in a practice where the Senate, even during weeks-long breaks from Washington, still holds pro forma sessions where one senator opens and closes the chamber, but no legislative business is conducted. The House also holds some power over recess appointments by refusing to allow the Senate to adjourn. And then this goes on to say, why is Trump demanding this? Because he envisions becoming a president who is much stronger and forceful than perhaps any before him. While still president in 2020, again, this is from the Associated Press, Trump threatened to use recess appointments after Democrats had slowed the Senate from confirming his nominees. And he threatened to use a presidential power in the Constitution to adjourn both chambers of Congress on extraordinary occasions and when there is a disagreement between the House and the Senate on adjourning. So this is certainly going to be quite political and it’ll be quite interesting to see what happens. But I don’t remember where I read it, but somebody said Trump basically has 100 days to really get things going here. And that’s what you think about it, because we’ll be moving into the 2026 election very soon. So he kind of learned, I think last time, last time he came to Washington, I think he tapped people that had been in Washington for a long time. I know he tapped people throughout the country that he thought was on his team. And there were a lot out there, including even here in Colorado, that were sabotaging him. And I think he learned from that. And I think that, well, for example, the first two years of his term, he had the House. Now I can’t remember if we had the Senate or not. But basically, they did nothing regarding immigration. And then you fast forward, you get to the Biden administration and you see what happened then with immigration. So he needs to get things done. And I think that he is working on that to make that happen. And so, again, we’ll have to see how this whole political thing happens on these recess appointments here in Colorado. This is I think this is really sad. And but it’s it is because of. Let’s see here. Let me get over here to. Well, I had all of these up here for you, so I’ll just go ahead and comment on it. This is from Westward. It says, Senor Burritos is closing in the Baker location after 34 years. And Denver, it’s because of bad policy that we’re seeing this beautiful city that I have loved. It’s dirty, it’s dangerous, and it is because of public policy. It’s because of these Democrat governors, or the Democrat governor, and it’s also because of these Democrat mayors. And so this business is moving to Westminster. And I think all of these other cities should be able to take a look at this and maybe start to have more freedom in each of your cities. The Metro Mayors Caucus is pretty powerful. It brings all the mayors together. And I think they get in this bubble. They don’t realize that they’re actually they are supposed to be representing their constituents themselves. and their their their businesses and standing up for them instead. I think what happens is many times what people get into elected office, work with the bureaucrats and they start to think that they are working for the city or the county instead of realizing that actually they’re representatives of the people. And so what’s happening happening in Denver, of course, the sales taxes are quite high and people start to make choices to shop for bigger items at other places. It’s dirty, it’s dangerous. And so businesses will be leaving. And this again, this beautiful city is being run into the ground right now because of these Democrat policies. And so I think people are starting to pay attention. And we need to be voting for people that will represent the people, not not the bureaucrats and the entities out there. Next thing I had here was and this was unbelievable to me. This Denver City Council declared November 14th as the day of the black girl in honor of African-American young ladies summit program. My gosh, friends, if we had a day of the white girl or a day of the Hispanic girl, what this is doing is this is dividing us into groups instead of recognizing that all of us are created equal with these rights from God of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. And so we have to push back on these things. We need to do things that unite us instead of dividing us. And we’ve got Eric on the line. Eric is a great listener of the show. He is the founder and creator of Manning’s Famous Burritos. And he watches. He’s so well informed and he watches politics and he’s very political, politically astute as well. But he called on Friday and he had a big concern. And I understand the optics on this are a challenge. So, Eric, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 16 :
Good morning, Kim. You great American. You are that, indeed. Yeah, thank you. Go ahead. I’m sorry.
SPEAKER 15 :
So go ahead. You’re concerned with Trump’s picks. You’ve said… Well, set it up for us, Eric. Tell us why you’re concerned.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes, Kim. It’s very concerning to me because at least two of the… people that I wanted for President Trump that was very loyal to him through thick and thin throughout his with his policies and with him through his campaign it was two gentlemen they were black gentlemen from Congress and now it’s probably too late for him to pick the two that I think that deserve it I mean they were just with him in churches, barbershops, in the RNC. And that was Congressman Wesley Hunt of Texas. And he was a West Point graduate. His brother and sister were West Point graduates. He was in the military. He went to, he did terms in Afghanistan and Iraq. I mean, He was just loyal, as I’ll get out to President Trump. And Byron Donald, Congressman from Florida, he was as close to Trump as, you know, an adopted son, so to speak. And he was one of the picks that may have been his vice president. And I just think after all I can, when I talked to you, there was 19 cabinet members, Kim, and there was no black members picked. And then it became five more added. And then the one that you talked about this morning. So that’s been like five to six more without any black people that put president Trump in different, you know, parts of the counties in our country over the top. And I don’t want to leave out the Hispanics, you know, one iota. They are great as well. And the youth, the young people, put him over the top. But he’s forgetting about the black people because Rubio, he’s on there. And I don’t know what kind of nationality is Gabbard, Tulsi Gabbard. And all of them are great. I love them all. It’s just that I would love to have some black love, you know, in his cabinet to show some appreciation. Because I don’t want this to get to Oprah. I don’t want it to get to Stephen A. Smith, you know, and The View. Whoopi Goldberg, all these haters, Van Jones on CNN. I don’t want that out there. You know, because they’re going to bring, I’m surprised it hasn’t even come up yet, Kim. The racism flack that they always spew out on him. And these people are qualified.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, you and I, when we were talking about it the other day, I had seen an article where the Speaker of the House, Johnson, said that no more, can’t take any more congressmen or women, because they do have that razor-thin majority there. Yes. And so that’s a problem. But I agree with you. I think the optics on that is very important. And I hope that somebody is listening on that so that we can get that figured out. Because I think that I totally agree with you. We want to be united. But the optics on that would be really great to bring that together. So, Eric, I really appreciate.
SPEAKER 16 :
You know, like Joe the plumber had said, I loved him, too. And I voted for Donald Trump three times. And I am a black man. conservative republican and i miss rush limbaugh big time rush limbaugh would have put him in his place but like joe the plumber said years ago mrs soul wish he was still with us he said sure he says he said share the wealth so to speak but i just wanted to throw that out at and i love president trump his family and every all his policies everything he stands for But I think that he needs recognition to of the black people that were 110% behind him, Kim. That’s all.
SPEAKER 15 :
That’s all I’ve got. I think that’s a really valid point, Eric, and I really appreciate you sharing that with us.
SPEAKER 16 :
Thank you.

Dr. Joondepth, welcome to the show.
SPEAKER 08 :
Hey, good morning.
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s been a while since we’ve talked, and the world has changed since we talked last time, Dr. June Depp.
SPEAKER 09 :
The world has changed indeed, and I think for the better. It’s been a wonderful two weeks just watching not only Trump winning, but the margin he won by, winning the popular vote, and watching the reaction of the left. That’s, you know, you don’t like to take pleasure in the dismay of others. But there’s something delicious about watching the meltdown on the left, the Twitter bots, the celebrities, the media people. They’ve been calling us names, calling us Nazis and fascists and white supremacists for years now. And it’s just wonderful to see them eating crow and seeing their reactions. And instead of getting on with life as we do with our preferred candidate loses that happened in 2008, 2012, 2020, et cetera. It’s just, it’s fun watching. So that’s, that’s a big part of it. Just the reactions and seeing how Trump is, he’s a regular guy. His appearance at the UFC fight at Madison square garden is, President-elect, he’s hanging out with Dana White and Joe Rogan and Kid Rock and Dan Bongino and people like that. And everybody’s just having a marvelous time. And you can see his little YMCA dance. Half the NFL’s doing it. I saw a highlight reel where all these NFL players are doing the little Trump shuffle. It’s just, it’s fun. It’s really been a lot of fun to watch all this happen. and see it play out. And as Trump would say, the best is yet to come.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, Dr. June Depp, I really had been concerned if the Harris-O’Biden administration continued on. Back when I was on city council in Lone Tree, 2012 to 2016, I remember the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, was trying to, I remember what the word was, net neutrality, which in essence under that would have taken over control of the Internet. And I was really concerned also about talk radio. I was anticipating that we were going to have less freedom of speech if that administration was voted in. And so it was a big sigh of relief for me. And I didn’t watch election night because I just didn’t think I could take the back and forth on it. And so I went to bed, and I got up early the next morning because I wanted to give all the election results. And I picked up my phone, and I kind of just looked at it, and my neighbor had stayed up, and she had texted me that he won. And it was like, oh, I couldn’t believe it. I just was really pleased because I felt that this was heading towards more freedom. The other way would have been, I think— shutting down voices, shutting down freedom of religion, shutting down opportunity, all those things. And so I’m really, really excited. But we’ve got work to do, Dr. June Depp. There is much that we have to do.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, there is. Winning is one thing. Now it’s governing. And I think it will be interesting to see what Trump does. And part of what I wrote about last week is the reckoning of fixing all the illegal injustices that were done toward him, the lawfare, the lying, the election rigging, all of that. I think there needs to be a reckoning for that, and the people that did this have to be punished severely enough that they never try this again. On the other hand, Trump wants to govern, and he’s got an agenda that and he’s going to have to extend an olive branch to his enemies at some point to govern. So that’s the dilemma. How much of one, how much of the other, he reached out to, uh, uh, the morning Joe crew and invited them to Mar-a-Lago and had a conversation with him. And, um, you know, he’s, he’s not taking the attitude of, Hey, election has elections have consequences. I won, you lost like Obama said famously. Um, So how do you strike that balance between working with those that tried to destroy you and your family and put you in prison for nonsense versus getting your pound of flesh back and having a reckoning so this stuff doesn’t happen again? I think that’s going to be his dilemma.
SPEAKER 15 :
You know, Dr. June Depp, I think it might be motivation. Maybe that might be the term. Because if he goes after, as you say, trying to get a pound of flesh from these people, I think that’s a real problem. But if he goes after them for justice, I think there’s a nuance. There’s a difference between the two. And I would hope that he would go for justice, not retribution.
SPEAKER 09 :
I would agree. And I think justice can be both. When I say reckoning, I don’t mean just destroy your political enemies, because that’s what Biden did. It’s not getting into the gutter like that. But applying the rule of law and people that knowingly lied, intelligence officials that knowingly lied, FBI that fabricated evidence to illegally get a FISA warrant and spy on Trump. The January 6th, a lot of these things, a lot of the COVID cover up, censorship, misinformation. There has to be a house cleaning on this. And it’s not just lock them up, lock them up. It’s investigate, transparency, sunshine, find out what happened. and who did what and hold them accountable if they did wrong. That’s all. That’s what I view as the reckoning, not come out and just, you know, Attila the Hun style. plunder your enemies and just rape, pillage and plunder and destroy villages and leave nothing in your wake. That’s not the approach I’m advocating.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. Right. I wanted to go. I hadn’t mentioned this to you to talk about this, but I have found this super interesting regarding the national popular vote. As you just mentioned, he won the national popular vote. And do you remember several years ago where there was this movement? It was called the National Popular Vote Compact. And it was a number of different states, primarily blue states. It was to undercut the electoral college. And, of course, as I was really uncomfortable with it. And then as I’ve learned more and more about. For example, here in Colorado, we have these mail-in ballots that are flying all over the state and have not really cleaned up these voter rolls. There can be funny stuff, I think, that could happen regarding the national popular vote. So here was this movement for national popular vote. that if the national popular vote went to a specific candidate, then the states had said that they were part of a compact, that then their electoral votes would go to whoever won the national popular vote. And Colorado was one of those states. Minnesota was one of those states. And it would not go into effect until they got enough states to agree to do it to get to that 270 electoral college threshold. And so they’re not at that. But I’ve seen several different articles that said, well, hey, Colorado, hey, Minnesota, you wanted to be part of the National Popular Compact Committee. why don’t you step up to the plate and do it? And if that was the case, he would get like 500 and some electoral college votes, and Kamala Harris would get like 18. And I find that super interesting.
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, it’s interesting. The Democrats pushed this because Hillary Clinton won the popular vote. And When their candidate wins the popular vote, then they want this. When their candidate loses the popular vote, you know, imagine if Trump lost the electoral college but won the popular vote. There’d be no push for this. All of a sudden, the Democrats would be lauding the electoral college, the brilliance of the founding fathers. How great, how wonderful. And the fact is the electoral college gives a voice to smaller states. so that the election is not decided by the coastal elites that live in the large cities, the large cities of the West Coast, East Coast, and Chicago deciding the election. So there’s a reason we have this. If it’s that important to Democrats, then they should propose to change the Constitution, not just have some pact that a bunch of blue states can decide how elections are handled. This is in the Constitution, and it should be changed appropriately if that’s the will of the people and through the proper process. But Trump campaigned differently this time. Trump wanted to win the popular vote. So there was no, none of this, oh, he’s an illegitimate president, he didn’t win the popular vote, et cetera, et cetera. He wanted to win, and that’s why he campaigned and New York, California, New Jersey, he did rallies. Why would he do a rally in Madison Square Garden? He has no hope of winning New York. But he wanted to win the popular vote. And I think there’s a different strategy to winning the popular vote than winning the electoral college. And in 2016, he wanted to win the electoral college. He campaigned a certain way. This time he wanted to win both, and he campaigned differently in terms of locations. So there’s strategy involved, and you can’t just change the rules midway. It’s like changing the rules of football at halftime. It doesn’t work that way. You have a strategy based on how the game is played.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, before we go to break, this came in on the text line. That text line is 720-605-0647. It says, winning the election the way he did, including all the down-ballot candidates, was equal to 1,000 pounds of flesh. So thanks to our listener on that. I’m talking with Dr. Brian Joondepth.

We’re an independent voice and we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And getting together with family during the holidays, if you’re looking at something to do, you might consider going to the Center for American Values located in Pueblo on the beautiful Riverwalk. It is really a special place with the Portraits of Valor honoring our Medal of Honor recipients. And they just do beautiful work there. They’re nonpartisan, they’re nonpolitical, but focus on these foundational principles of honor, integrity, and patriotism. There’s great restaurants there in Pueblo as well. And Pueblo always seems to be a little bit warmer than the Denver area, and it’s not a very long drive to get down there. So be sure and check out the website of AmericanValueCenter.org. I’m talking with Dr. Brian Joondepth. And we’re talking about this reckoning that needs to happen. And the lawfare, well, first of all, Dr. June Depp, I cannot believe the energy of Donald Trump to do all of those rallies. I don’t know if the guy sleeps. I don’t know when he could sleep. He is focused on getting the job done.
SPEAKER 09 :
He doesn’t sleep much. He’s admitted that. But he has huge energy and he hasn’t slowed down. um he is showing us his uh future cabinet uh who he wants and he continues to do events he was at the mma fight in new york city the other night and um you know just the the pictures and memes and everything they’re putting out are great there was a picture of him on the plane with uh R.F.K. Jr. and Mike Johnson and his son and Elon Musk, and they’re eating McDonald’s and saying, Maha starts tomorrow. It’s fun. I think people that aren’t so whipped up in the frenzy of anger over this election can sit back and enjoy this and say, this is how it should be. This is fun, watching this, watching everything happen and all the enthusiasm. It’s a bunch of sourpusses, the women that want to shave their heads and wear blue bracelets and not have sex and dump their husbands. And it’s like, you know, it’s such negative energy. Nobody wants to hear that or be around it. This is… It’s self-defeating. Nobody cares. There’s a handful of celebrities that are announcing they’re leaving America. Who cares? I don’t care what Robert De Niro or Bruce Springsteen, if they leave, if they stay, where they go. Nobody really cares. And instead, we’re watching the fun. We’re watching Trump build his administration and have fun doing it. It’s not a bunch of somber stuff and Everybody in dark suits and so serious. And when has an administration done it this way? You know, by going to UFC fights and sporting events and things and just not making light of it, but having fun with it. I think America needs that. It’s been a tough four years and it’s time for some fun.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, he’s got a lot of work to do. We’ve got to get this border closed, as you mentioned in your article. And also these these wars that the bad guys have been rattling their sabers. And if Harris, the Harris or Biden administration had been elected, I’m very, very concerned about more wars. And so I really like to get us back to more peace. You mentioned here him having fun. The whole thing with McDonald’s, when I saw that, it just made me laugh out loud. And the interaction, did you notice, so the young black girl that was kind of training him, helping him, and I really thought the interaction between him and her was really a beautiful thing. And I’ve heard this about Trump, that he’s very good to the people that work for him and help. And I just saw this genuine love of people. And in Trump fashion, he’s like, isn’t she doing a great job? Wonderful. I thought that whole interaction was just beautiful. Did you pick up on that at all?
SPEAKER 09 :
Yes, that’s how he is with people. And you hear from people that have worked with him directly, and he’s like that. He’s a genuinely nice person. And the media and the Democrats portray him as this fascist hitler ogre and he’s nothing like that um yeah he can be snarky i grew up in new york so i know that personality and that’s not unusual that’s that’s how people are he’s brash he calls people out uh that’s just his personality but he has this very warm side to him and uh Yeah. I mean, that’s what makes him endearing. And the people that know him love him for that.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I had to laugh out loud on the whole garbage thing, though, as well. That was one of the most brilliant marketing things I’ve seen.
SPEAKER 09 :
Trump is a master at marketing and branding. He’s had a 10-year run of The Apprentice and other projects he’s done, and he’s quite good at that. And, you know, whether it was his idea or staff’s idea, whoever’s idea it was, it was brilliant. Get out there in the garbage truck, do the McDonald’s, and it sucked the wind out of the Harris campaign. And they had to play defense and defend it and play word salad with garbage, the word garbage and trash. moving comment or commas around and apostrophes around to try to explain Biden’s comments. It’s almost as if Biden was throwing the election. That’s another interesting path to go down. Did Biden want Trump to win? The reception Trump got at the White House the other day, you know, Jill’s wearing red. I’ve never seen Joe Biden so happy. It’s when he was Posting Trump. And it’s like he deliberately sabotaged it because they screwed him out of the nomination. Like him or not, Joe Biden won the nomination fair and square. And then they railroaded him out by threatening things and installed Harris, who got no votes. She didn’t get any delegates back in 2020 and didn’t get any this time. So she was basically an installed candidate. They railroaded Joe out. That’s not right.
SPEAKER 15 :
No, it’s not right. And the American people spoke. And one other thing, we’re just about out of time, Dr. June Depp, but you said the place for the low-hanging fruit for Trump to start with is those 51 intelligence officials that claimed in writing with their signatures that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. That is a great place to start. I agree with you. So how would you like to wrap this up for us?
SPEAKER 09 :
The reckoning must begin. And as we talked about, it’s not a reckoning of retribution. It’s applying the rule of law equally and fairly to those that broke it. There needs to be investigations. Who did what? Why? Follow it up. Get the emails. Get all the communications, not only on the lawfare, but on COVID, on January 6th, all these things. There needs to be transparency. And if people broke the law, they need to be dealt with appropriately. That’s the only way that there can be a reckoning. I don’t mean imprisoning your political opponents on a whim because that’s what Biden’s been doing. But follow the rule of law fairly and openly.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, I agree. And Dr. June Depp, we’ve got a lot of work to do here in Colorado, but I’m excited about it. I think we’ve got some great opportunities. I so appreciate you as a monthly guest and your pieces. Where can people find them? We want to make sure that they know that. Where can they find that?
SPEAKER 09 :
Well, I’m an American thinker, and I have a piece this morning on Trump’s dream team. So I recommend you all read it. It’s a kind of a deep dive into the dream team that he’s assembling to advise him and be in his cabinet. And it’s kind of a fun read. So have fun with it.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay, I’ll get on it. Dr. June Depp, thank you so much, and we’ll talk next month. Okay, thanks. Okay, great. And our quote for the end of the show is Ronald Reagan. He said, “…extreme taxation, excessive controls, oppressive government, competition with business, frustrated minorities, and forgotten Americans are not the products of a free enterprise. They are the residue of centralized bureaucracy of government by a self-anointed elite.” Today, my friends, be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate and listen well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals, and like Superman, stand for truth, justice, and the American way.

Thank you to all of you who support us. We’re an independent voice and we search for truth and clarity by looking at these issues through the lens of freedom versus force, force versus freedom. Something’s a good idea. You should not have to force people to do it. The text line is 720-605-0647. Oh, I forgot to mention it in the first hour. Today, Yvonne Paez, co-founder of Perspectives 101, has organized a meeting this evening, 5.30 p.m. at the downtown Fort Collins Library, regarding Fort Collins and these forced trash cases. fees and so again that is tonight 5 30 p.m at the downtown fort collins library and they’re going to be talking trash these forced fees it’s crazy so this public private partnership in essence is the politicians choose a business that will have the basically kind of the exclusive contract And so when I say big business and big government like to get in bed with each other, that’s exactly what I mean. So they choose who will be the trash service in Fort Collins. And they said you can still have a choice. You could still have another company, although they chased one of the companies out. But there is another option. opportunity, but if you use this other non-chosen one by Fort Collins, then you have to not only pay for that trash service, but you have to pay a fee to Fort Collins. What’s wrong with that picture? Ultimately, what I think is going to happen is this sets it up for a World Economic Forum kind of stuff on controlling how much trash you can have. and charging you fees if you have more than a certain amount of trash. And that’s not the way this is supposed to work. So anyway, this is going to be a great meeting tonight, 5.30 at the downtown Fort Collins Library. I know that Yvonne has invited city council and the mayor, and I know many of you are concerned about that. So be sure and check that out. Our word of the day is thwart, and it’s T-H-W-A-R-T. Transitive verb, it could be to prevent the occurrence, realization, or attainment of, as in they thwarted her plans. Number two definition, to oppose or defeat the efforts, plans, or ambitions of someone. Well, we can see that happening in Washington. Many are trying to thwart that. the Trump agenda. And number three, to move across or counter to cross as the example they had is an arrow thwarts the air. And thank you to Richard, the limo guy, for suggesting that. Mary Janssen sent in our quote of the day, and it’s by Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was born in 1911, died in 2004, says we don’t have inflation because we are living too well. We have it because the government is living too well. And I did want to give a shout out to Natalie Minton. She ran for Jefferson County commissioner. And she also has been a stalwart, a protector of Tabor, Colorado’s Taxpayers Bill of Rights. And this last election, I saw Natalie. She came over when the girls were over on Wednesday. And I could see she just was really frustrated because Arapahoe County, Jefferson County and RTD, all those votes to detabor future revenue and property tax caps passed, if you can believe it. I can’t believe it, but I can. And she took that pretty hard. And so we’ve got to dust everything off and we’ve got to go to work again. But I want to give a shout out to Natalie Minton for her great work. And the show comes to you because of our sponsors. And I learn so much from all of them when they come on and talk about just the things happening in their particular arena and really blessed to work with great people. And I’m talking with Roger Mangan with the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance team. And you can help people with their home, their auto, but condos and townhouses as well. So let’s talk about that.
SPEAKER 14 :
Well, there’s a lot going on, as you probably know, if you live in a condo or a townhouse. I want to give you a quick example. I live in the townhouse, so we have a master policy. The master policy is probably 31% in my subdivision of the total monthly fee to cover just the insurance, 31% in my case. Okay, anyway… What happened is we got a quote for the renewal. Our premium was $177,000 for 98 units. It went to $400,000 from $178,000. The alternative bid we got against that $400,000 was $800,000. No insurance company, for the most part, want to insure townhouses or buildings. anymore in Colorado. So what’s happening is a lot of the associations are dissolving the master policy, amending their bylaws, and having you as an owner buy a separate homeowner’s policy. It shifts the cost to you, the homeowner, or the unit owner, condo unit owner, and away from the HOA. So you would think in the balance that your fees would go down, but everything else is going up, so it’s a bad situation. You can surmise that just by what I’m saying. I think the important thing for you to know is If you still have a master policy, you have two types, either all-in or bare walls. We’ve talked about this sometime in the past. But bare walls basically says that master policy will cover everything up to the studs. So the drywall, wallpaper, paneling, anything on that drywall is not going to be covered. Everything inside is not going to be covered. Your toilets, your hardwood floors, your fixture, your sink, your countertops. So find out what kind of policy you have. I have a lot of insurers who call and say, is this covered? I said, I don’t know. Have you called your manager for the association to ask them what the insurance policy is doing? Because I don’t know what your master policy does. You have to know. And once you find that out, if you’ve got bare walls and on your HO6 policy, which is your condo townhouse policy, If you have $125,000 on building coverage and you have barrel walls, you’re in trouble. You need to have that probably $300,000, $400,000, $500,000, depending on the quality of the unit you live in and the HOA you live in. So if you had a major fire and you were underinsured and someone paid you $123,000 and you were barrel walls and it cost you $400,000 rebuilt… You’re in a world of hurt. Wow.
SPEAKER 15 :
And that can happen. Happens all the time. So what about, though, if you’re in a townhouse or a condo, if you’re now getting your separate insurance policy, what about new roofs for the whole?
SPEAKER 14 :
Yeah, you would insure the roof. Let’s say you’re in a duplex, and one side of the duplex has American Family, the other side has State Farm. and there’s a fire on one unit but it destroys part of the other unit, you need to make sure when you talk to your agent that coverage that was caused by the unit next to you is going to be covered by you, and it would be. And then whoever caused the fire, the insurance company that paid on your behalf and you weren’t at fault is going to subrogate against the insurance company that was at fault, assuming there was liability involved. Okay. Okay. Okay.
SPEAKER 15 :
Always great information that you’re sharing with our listeners. And to make a complimentary appointment with the Roger Mangan State Farm Insurance Team, what is the number to call?

She is Car Coach Reports. Welcome, Lauren Fix.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, thank you for having me back. Lots going on in the automotive world as we wait for the next Transportation Secretary nomination. I’m very excited to see who it is.
SPEAKER 15 :
Do you have any idea? who you think it might be?
SPEAKER 17 :
No. No, I don’t. I’d do it if they asked me.
SPEAKER 15 :
Oh, I would nominate you in a heartbeat, Lauren Fix. That would be awesome.
SPEAKER 17 :
That would be interesting. I’d stir the pot, that’s for sure.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, that’s for sure. You and I have talked over the years about freedom of mobility and, of course, electric vehicles and these mandates I see ultimately as really controlling mobility. What do you see is going to happen with President Trump, President-elect Trump?
SPEAKER 17 :
As far as what’s going to happen? Well, that’s the interesting part. We don’t know. We know there’s a lot of rules that are going to be undone. And so the first thing I know is going to happen, number one, and believe it or not, Elon Musk is behind it. No mandate for electric vehicles and removing that $7,500 tax credit. That is top of the list, and that is definitely going to disappear.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay. Now, you’re out in California right now. What about California? They’ve been kind of on their own. States have followed them on these mandates. So how’s that going to work out?
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, well, right now there are 17 states that follow the California rules, which the California Air Research Board and I expect that President Trump’s going to go back after them, taking them to court. It is unconstitutional for one state to tell the other states what to do. And this is exactly what’s happened with the electric vehicle mandate. And under President Obama, he gave California even more power. to go after emissions and whatever they want. So basically, that’s what he used as his arm to convince the other states, if you don’t comply, we’re going to fine you. Now you think, well, I live in Kentucky. That doesn’t bother me. However, there’s no manufacturer that’s going to build a car for one state or 17 states and a different one for the others. Because people drive, right? So then you fly to Kentucky, buy a car, and drive it back to California, and they know that. So when one makes the mandate, they put the pressure on the car manufacturers saying, if you want to sell your gasoline-powered vehicles in our state of California or the other 17 states, which is Massachusetts, New Jersey, includes Colorado, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, those are the states that are saying, well – You know, then this is how it works if you want to sell in our state. And you can’t not sell in California because it’s the number one car sales state. But there’s a couple other rules that are important. So I know that they’re going to fight the California Air Resources Board, have that removed. But in itself, I just put a story up, I think it was last Friday, that new motorhome sales are about to be banned as of the first of this year. Nobody’s talking about it, and that’s a problem. So, again, these 17 states, starting with California, Oregon, Washington State, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Colorado will join in as well because it does. They are going to ban the sale of gasoline-powered and diesel-powered motorhomes. So if you’ve got a 40,000-pound motorhome, you take your family, you bring the dog, you bring your grandparents, you’re going to let everyone have a good time and enjoy nature. Sorry, it has to be electric or no sale. So you think, well, then everyone’s going to go buy electric vehicles or go buy older gas vehicles, right? You’ll buy one a year or two old. You’ll save the money. Well, that’s a problem because they’re going to start forcing you to smog test all of your vehicles at $500 twice a year. So basically they’re charging an additional $1,000 to buy that vehicle because they claim it’s polluting. When we’re not even talking about what it takes to build these motorhomes as far as like an electric battery, you spend more time charging. And all of this goes into effect January 1st, 2025. And it went through in August. And no one talked about it. It’s your typical run it through on a Friday night. No one’s around. No one’s listening. We won’t even post it. And oddly, the RV industry did not take this to the public. You would think that they would put out commercials, be on news stories, or are the news stations, as President Trump calls them, fake news, not taking on the story. And we just found out about it.
SPEAKER 15 :
Wow, yeah, because you and I have not talked about it. And I’ve always been just totally enamored with these motorhomes. Some of them are so luxurious. And here you have everyday people that can travel around. Can you imagine the Queen of Sheba, how she would have loved to have had just a regular motorhome to drive around in back so many years ago? And now regular people can, as you say, drive around in their house. It’s pretty amazing. So what’s going to happen here? I can’t believe the RV industry that nobody, I can’t believe that this got snuck through.
SPEAKER 17 :
It’s only a $10 billion industry. It’s a $10 billion industry. So you think, how is that? I don’t see that well. Have you ever gone buying those motorhome dealerships? They’re huge. They’ve got Prevost and all these high-end Airstreams and beautiful, beautiful trailers. I mean, some people have actually done the RV life. They’ve sold everything. They don’t have a home anymore. They’ve moved whatever they need. They’ve really pared down, and they can travel the whole world and go visit whoever they want, go wherever they want, and you can do everything online now, right? So you don’t need a mailbox anymore. And they are basically wandering around, which is fine. I have a couple of friends that are actually doing that. And they get to see the country and visit people. However, those people won’t be able to travel through those states because the goal is to ban by 2027 any gasoline or diesel-powered vehicle. And having a 40,000-pound electric motorhome, again, is unacceptable, unreasonable. And you won’t be able to take the older homes through there without paying a fee. Some states won’t let you. So how are you supposed to get around Colorado? You have to go north to Montana? I mean, that’s a lot of driving out of the way. And with New Mexico partnering in, that certainly makes for problems as far as traveling coast to coast.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, can you imagine how heavy that battery would have to be? No.
SPEAKER 17 :
It won’t be a 40,000-pound electric motorhome anymore. It’s going to be like an 80,000-pound, which will do more damage to the highways and use up more tires. And no one ever talks about the particles that come off those tires and the size of that battery. Are you going to sit in that vehicle while it charges? Because that sounds pretty scary to me because what it really means is that you could potentially be exploiting your family to a lot of radiation or at least magnetic field.
SPEAKER 15 :
So what’s going to happen here? This can’t go through. So what’s going to happen? It’s already done.
SPEAKER 17 :
There’s nothing you can do to stop it at this point other than a new president, which is what we elected. So as of now, January 1st, while Biden is still in office, this goes into effect. Now, will it last until January 20th when President Biden takes over? Only if someone puts an executive order in front of him to strip this out. Or President Trump. I’m sorry, President Trump has to strip it out. He’s got a lot of things to sign on day one. I mean, a stack of things to sign. And this has to be one of them because it will impact our economy. When you tell those dealerships, you can’t sell. And I already know of one very large RV dealership that is in Southern California that basically sold out. He sold all the inventory and closed their doors. And that had been in business there for 40, 50 years. And now what? Now you’ve got people that are unemployed. They’re looking for jobs. You lose a company in your area that is supported by all the smaller companies, you know, the diners and the accountants and all other things. So you think about all that. That impacts the economy in California, which is already in trouble. And people, I understand why they stay here. You’ve got family and businesses and so forth. But at some point, people are just going to start leaving the states that are implementing these unrealistic rules.
SPEAKER 15 :
So, well, first of all, we’ve got to reprieve. Can you imagine if we had a Harris or Biden administration that we were facing here on January 20th?
SPEAKER 17 :
No, that would be horrible.
SPEAKER 15 :
It really would be.
SPEAKER 17 :
Then we just might as well meet North Korea because we’d be pretty darn close to it.
SPEAKER 15 :
I know, I know. This freedom of mobility, and again, I’ve just been so enamored as I’ve, you know, would drive down the highway and see these big rigs, and they’re luxurious.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 15 :
And I thought, what a cool, innovative thing this is that everyday people can… drive around in a beautiful vehicle like that. And of course, the radical activists, elitists, they don’t want people to have fun. They don’t want people to enjoy life. They just want people to live in these tiny little apartments and ride around on trains and bicycles and buses. But of course, the elites, well, speaking of that, I have to think, I did love it. I found Humor, maybe? Maybe not even humor. When Kamala Harris went back to Washington, D.C., and she greeted all of her staff, did you notice that she was getting out of the whole entourage was a bunch of gas-powered vehicles that she drove up in? I thought that was really sweet. Of course.
SPEAKER 17 :
Well, listen, when you want to make the beast that the president is electric, then it makes sense. It doesn’t make sense because it’s too heavy. Right. And when it’s too heavy, you spend more time charging and it doesn’t go anywhere. And this is exactly the problem that they have. And they did this to themselves.
SPEAKER 15 :
So day one, and all of these things that we’re talking about, Trump can roll them back because they were not done legislatively, right? That they were done via executive orders or through rules and regulations. So he can roll that back, which what that means, though, is government’s gotten out of control over on the executive branch, that the executive branch and the bureaucrats could make all this happen. And so… It is important that he rolls all this stuff back for freedom.
SPEAKER 17 :
Yes, I don’t think we have a choice. And that is a problem. I think that our only angle at this point is to make sure whoever becomes the transportation secretary is aware that this is a situation. Because on a federal level, they’re going to be allowed to tell the states that, I’m sorry, that doesn’t work. It impacts our economy. It impacts jobs. It impacts jobs. Manufacturing, a lot of these buses are made in Indiana. I mean, you’re going to destroy a state with all the trailers and motorhome sales. I mean, I just can’t believe that someone is so short-sighted as the governor of California to allow something like this to happen without even looking into what this means in the bigger picture. But it’s well beyond his capability for sure. But they don’t care about everyday people, Lauren Fix. True. That is 100% true. It’s the elitist attitude of, I can have a motorhome like Whoopi Goldberg can have a motorhome. She’ll get an exemption. The rest of you, too bad. That’s exactly how they operate.
SPEAKER 15 :
Yeah, and that’s so antithetical to this idea of America that we’re all created equal and that if there is a law or a rule or a regulation or an ordinance, there should not be waivers on it, I don’t think, because then what happens is these PBIs, politicians, bureaucrats, and interested parties get to choose who has to abide by it and who doesn’t, and that’s wrong. And so if there’s something that has to have a waiver on it, then… We shouldn’t be having that particular whatever it is, rule, regulation, law, whatever it is. Right.
SPEAKER 17 :
Exactly. And this is the problem. We need common sense. Right. If there’s going to be a regulation helping everyone, it makes common sense. Right. I don’t know, don’t speed in a school zone. That makes sense. But just stopping the sale of something because you personally don’t like them is ridiculous. It’s like saying you can’t sell ketchup anymore because I don’t like it. That’s how off the wall this is. If somebody else likes it, too bad.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. And we had a number of different things that happened out here in Colorado, a couple of ballot boxes, questions that were really trying to affect people’s lives. And fortunately, those were defeated. So that’s pretty awesome. I’m talking with Lauren Fix. She is Car Coach Reports. We’re going to continue the discussion regarding the Trump administration and our freedom of mobility. We’ll be right back.

You can find her Car Coach Reports. And one of our listeners texted this, said, Isn’t it ironic that the RV thing would destroy Indiana and the transportation secretary is from Indiana? It’s very ironic, right?
SPEAKER 17 :
That is ironic. I did not catch that. Very well done. I usually catch things like that. I’m going to use it. I’m feeling it. Thank you very much.
SPEAKER 15 :
Okay. Thank you to our listener for that. Text line is 720-605-0647. So, Lauren, you and I have really… Over the years, we realized that this freedom of mobility is really under attack. We’ve talked about the Chinese car market. I think entrepreneurs, you think about American dealerships, the entrepreneurs that have created wealth for themselves and their families, and through all of these mandates and fees, it’s really, I think, made it very difficult for them. What do you see for American dealerships under the new Trump administration?
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, there’s going to be a lot of changes. I expect, and I have this going out this week’s story on the EV tax credit. Once that lifts, and Elon Musk is behind it, and you’re thinking, why would he be behind it? He sells electric cars. Ha ha. Again, thinking outside the box, like your listener who sent a message in, which I thank you. Elon Musk has started the electric car industry to mainstream. There’s been cars all the way back to the 1800s that were electric, and they just didn’t work, and gasoline took over as the lead. So when Elon Musk came on the scene with his Roadster, which did okay, and then he said, well, I’m going to do the Model S, and that has been very successful for him, and he’s now a global car company, U.S. car company, because we don’t have Stellantis anymore. you’re watching other companies struggle to try and catch him. Because once you blaze a trail, like in any industry, everyone’s going to try and chase you. All your competition’s going to say, I’m going to do bigger, better, stronger, smarter, faster. And it doesn’t always work. And in this case, this is exactly what we have. We have a situation where he has blazed the trail to the point that he’s even opened up his interface and all his software. He says, you want to use it? Use it. You want to see what it is? Take a look. So now there’s no theft, right? So he opens it up, and what does that do? It creates competition, which is fine by him because the competition was all falsely getting that $7,500 tax credit, which you would think would be something he’d want to keep. But at this point, that’s not really – his sales haven’t changed one way or the other. No one’s buying a Tesla because I get the $7,500 tax credit. But when it comes to Ford, GM, Hyundai, Kia, Audi, you name it, they only survive with a tax credit and a mandate because they have fines going against them for not complying. Those mandates go away. Those electric vehicle tax credits go away. Tesla survives and remains the leader in the industry, and everybody else starts paring back on their offerings. They’re still going to offer electric. You should still have a choice. I think there’s going to be a massive difference, and I’m really excited to see what happens.
SPEAKER 15 :
So, Lauren Fix, I remember early on with Elon Musk, he was a real darling of the left. And I had done some research on it, and on that whole electric vehicle market, these fines and these credits, the other companies had to purchase these credits if they didn’t hit these. And you know this better than I do, so I’m trying to explain it. Carbon credits.
SPEAKER 17 :
Okay, yes, carbon credits. This goes way back, actually. It goes back to before Obama. But what they did was they said, listen, you want to sell cars in California, you don’t sell enough electric cars or zero emissions cars. They call them ZEVs, Z-E-V. And what we’re going to do is you can buy carbon credits to offset this. If you don’t, it’s $20,000 per carbon credit. I think it’s more. I’m sorry. I think it’s more than that. I may be way off on that. Yeah. I know I had it here somewhere. But the carbon credits, we’ll just say it’s a large amount. I think I’m way off on that price. I think it’s closer to $200,000. But either way, since I don’t have that number in front of me, what do you do? You’re bored. You only sell Mustangs and trucks, right? So they say, okay, and SUVs. So they say, okay, you can buy the carbon credits. So Tesla would sell the carbon credits. Because they get seven carbon credits for every car that’s sold, and every electric car that any other brand makes only gets four because he made the deal. So now he’s got these carbon credits, and he turns around and sells them to the other car companies. So that’s how he started making money because he wasn’t making money on the sales of his brand. Vehicles, which I think have terrible build quality. And if you looked at that and saw that that came from any known car brand that is a dealership, they’d be out of business. You know, shifted panels, paint qualities off. But although it’s a little better now, it’s still the fact that. If you want an electric car and you don’t want to deal with dealerships, there’s only a few options. This now made him the leader, and people bought Teslas because they were sick and tired of the dealership experience, which falls on the manufacturers and the dealers, even though I was a dealer trainer. And I know we train them. That doesn’t mean the salesperson does what you’re told in any business. So now they’ve got these tax credits they have to purchase. Elon makes the money. Now they’re starting to produce cars that are electric from other brands. like Jaguar still says they’re going all easy. They say they’re going to be a premium electric vehicle brand. I don’t know how they’re going to survive. I’ve already seen some pictures of the concept cars that are coming late next year. I’m concerned for them, let’s put it that way. Brands like Stellantis, they got rid of all their big engine cars that people wanted, the Hemis and the Hellcats and the Demons, all that’s gone, all the big performance, and now they’re just selling trucks with smaller V8s, which is foolish, SUVs with a lot of 2-liter turbocharged engines, which are lower on power but slightly better on fuel economy, or a 6-cylinder, and no cars. So they now come back with the charger, and they go, oh, we’re going to rush out the six-cylinder new charger, which is not going to appeal to their customers, because whoever is running the company, which I’ve done a story on on my channel, does not understand the U.S. marketplace at all. And the results are… They got rid of all their senior executives, and now they let 1,100 people go, and they’re stopping Jeep production in their main plant in Belvedere, Illinois. And where are they going to ship all their future production? Mexico, because the UAW put those – So there’s a lot of interesting plates spinning, shall we say. And the bottom line is forcing someone to buy something they don’t want, like you constantly say, whether it be a consumer or build something that consumers don’t want to buy, but you take a loss on every single one. And to give you an idea of a loss, Ford loses $44,000 on every single truck they sell that’s a Lightning truck. So if they’re making a loss, how do they make that up? How do you turn the lights? Well, they lay off a bunch of people. They try to run a little leaner. And then what they also do is they jack up the price of all the cars that they have. And a perfect example is the Bronco. I have a Bronco Raptor, which is like the top of the line. I got a 24 in, and it’s $20,000 more than my 22. But there’s no differences other than they painted the fenders. That’s crazy. Yeah. I’m keeping my car. I would never get a 24 for $20,000 more. Somebody’s smoking something. I don’t know what it is, but it isn’t right. And the result’s going to be lower sales. People won’t do it. People are smart. They’re going to keep what they have.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, what does this mean then, Lauren? Because we talked about this before the election with the China and the China manufacturing that is occurring and things have changed with Trump being elected. But what do you think about the Chinese cars coming here?
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, they’re going to be a tariff on them. It’s going to be pricey because they’re already starting to negotiate tariffs in other countries because what that does is destroys their auto industry. In Germany, they let all these Chinese car manufacturers come in and sell cars everywhere, and they did. BYD is the biggest, but there’s like 100 others. And what it did is destroyed the German car industry, and they just shut down three plants, three manufacturing plants. Like 80,000 people are out of jobs or being moved around. But the fact is, what are you doing? You’re destroying your own industry. And most of the people that live in Germany, they work in some aspect of the auto industry. So the tire people will sell tires and so forth. But when you’re telling someone you can buy an SUV and it’s only 30 grand instead of 60 grand, you know, whatever that converts to in euros, people start going, well, I’ll just buy the $30,000 car. I can buy two of them at that price. So they came in, they lowballed the price to steal the market, to destroy their competition, and then they just keep raising the prices then. And that strategy has been used in the past by other brands too, and it has worked. I fear that they come into this country and start offering cheap cars, people buy cheap cars, and what does it do? It kills Ford, GM. and other car brands and they won’t sell here and think about the manufacturing again when the largest bmw plant in the world is in spartanburg south carolina in the world every single suv sold by bmw except for china is made in the u.s every single one including what goes to germany and all around the world are made in the u.s that’s jobs it is the largest employer of the state of south carolina and you’re going to tell these people i’m sorry After 30 years of producing cars here, that’s a problem that will kill a state that could kill your economy.
SPEAKER 15 :
Well, a couple of things, Lauren. First of all, on tariffs, I’ve always I’ve loved free trade, but it has to be free and fair trade. And what I learned from my friend Helen Raleigh, who immigrated from China and during the last Trump administration, she said tariffs are one of the few things that he has in his quiver. Because you can’t have free and fair trade when you’ve got another country, for example, China on the steel industry. They were manufacturing steel and subsidizing it and then selling Chinese steel here in America at a much lower price because it was subsidized. It wasn’t an honest and free market. And then that really affected our steel industry in a very negative way. And so when you have that going on, that’s not free and fair trade when you’ve got a dictatorship such as China trying to undercut our industry here. And then once that happens, when they’re the only manufacturer of it, then they would jack the price up. And so this whole tariff thing, I know that I had to kind of come to a new understanding on that.
SPEAKER 17 :
Me too. I agree. So the tariffs are interesting. I am a free and fair trade. If you make a better product, People should buy it. If your product tastes better, whatever it might be, is better, then it is better. And it’s up to you to sell it because quality is always better than quantity. However, what I see in the tariff thing, and if you go back, and I had to do some research as well because I was always free trade. I’m a supply-side economics person. If you go back previous to 1913, we survived from 1776 to 1913 on tariffs. There was no sales tax. There was no taxes at all. No state taxes, no federal taxes. When you bought things, like you pay a tax on whatever, that would be fine, like a lot of states do. Well, what’s interesting is all the fees – we had so much money left over. We had blue ribbon panels on what to do with all the cash because we used it all on tariffs. You want to sell in our country, there’s a fee. Just like when we sell in other countries, there’s a fee. And when you start looking at, well, geez, what can we do with all this cash? Well, you could help homeless people. You could help people that are – Low income, help them, get kids to college. Think about all the things you’d do if all this cash was free and you weren’t being taxed and you got to keep 100% of what you made. My gosh, you’d buy more stuff, right? You could pay off your bills. Oh, that helps the economy. And that’s a whole different angle to look at things. But if you want to do some research on your own, look at the history prior to 1913 when the president of that time decided we’re going to take money and we’re going to pay back what happened after World War I and World War II to help rebuild other cities. That was supposed to end in the 70s. And even in the 80s, they tried to end that federal taxes and it didn’t work. So President Trump has a big mandate in front of him to get rid of the federal taxes. My God, that would save me a ton of money. And yeah, I’d spend it.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right. Or invest it as well, which creates jobs, but you would have the choice on what you wanted to do. A couple of things before we let you go. This came in from Mary on the text line. She said, Rivian EV trucks are so heavy you can’t get tires at discount because their lifts can’t lift them. You have to go back to the dealership to get the tires changed. And she also said, and remember, China uses slave labor. Those are two important points, Lauren Fixx.
SPEAKER 17 :
Excellent points. Thank you very much. Yes, a lot of these trucks like the Rivian and the Hummer EV, the Rivian does not have a dealership, by the way. You buy the car like a Tesla, you buy it online and you order whatever you want and then they have a delivery location. But yeah, getting tires means that you’re a captive audience if you can’t go anywhere else. That takes away your limit of choice. You’re limited on where you go to buy tires. All of these electric cars require very quick transition on tires, usually about a year. And the reason for that is they weigh so much. So if they weigh more, that downward pressure on the tire against the road surface breaks them down. Another little teeny factor from a health standpoint, again, no one covers this, and I’m not a doctor, but I’m looking for someone. If someone is a doctor and knows about this, reach out to me little particles from the tires break down and those tires that little particles go into the air and it’s polluting the air and we’re breathing it because as those heavy cars go down the road it’s polluting so it’s not polluting a tailpipe it’s polluting by tire destruction and the brake pads get worn out quicker as well so again that costs you money to maintain that
SPEAKER 15 :
Super interesting. Okay, Lauren Fix, last thing. How do we start a campaign for Lauren Fix for Transportation Secretary?
SPEAKER 17 :
Oh, my gosh. Well, first of all, before we get to that, all my car reviews have been moved to Car Smarts. It’s a channel on YouTube. You can also find it on Rumble. Everything’s still on the same channel or on my sub stack or social media or on my website, Car Coach Reports. All of my news stories, things that you and I talk about are on Car Coach Reports on YouTube as well as all the other locations online. I guess the only thing you can do is contact your representative, whoever is part of the Trump team, if you know somebody, and say, hey, we need someone in the transportation industry who knows about cars, who can talk to the people that are manufacturers and talk to consumers and understand both sides. And that’s the biggest problem we have. They make these stupid rules, but they don’t think about you and how it impacts you. But then on the other side, the government’s making these rules because there’s no one in there even owns a car. They get driven places. So it’s really important that we thought if you know somebody. who’s on the team, who’s going to be nominating the position, hey, I’d be on an advisory board. Anything I can do to help because we need to get some common sense car laws in and get rid of the stupid rules like getting rid of your motorhome. That’s absurd.
SPEAKER 15 :
I totally agree. Lauren Fix, always great to talk to you. We’ll talk to you next month and have a great day.
SPEAKER 17 :
Thank you. You too.

If something’s a good idea, you should not have to force people to do it. And as you’re getting together with family during the holiday season and thinking of things to do, you might put on your list to visit the Center for American Values in Pueblo, Colorado. It is inspirational. It’s historical. It’s non-political, non-partisan, but just learning these stories of our Medal of Honor recipients is really important. It’s a great teaching moment for kids and grandkids. So check them out. That website is AmericanValueCenter.org. That is AmericanValueCenter.org. Coming in on the text line, I’m going to try to get to some of these. We’ve been all over the place here regarding these different subjects. Gammy had texted in regarding Trent Luce this morning, had covered the Sustain Act. And when Trent is on on Wednesday, we’ll talk about that. And I think it’s regarding carbon sequestration. And so stay tuned on that. Let’s see. Also coming in from a listener. Says, again, this is North Dakota former governor and now the Department of the Interior Secretary. Doug Burgum used to work for Microsoft. Yes, he did take money from Bill Gates, but also farmland, thousands of acres was supposedly purchased and tied to Bill Gates. So I don’t know for sure about that. We need to source that. And then regarding Eric says Trump has to be careful not to drain the U.S. House of like minded folks to help him with his agenda. The Senate replacements can be made by governors and other takes on the election. And then another listener said, remember that Vivek Ramaswamy is president. been appointed with Elon Musk to clean up government. Good point. One of our listeners said, seems like Ben Carson could have a place in the cabinet. Yes, I was wondering about that. I wonder what happened with that. So hopefully he’ll consider Ben Carson. Regarding Dr. Brian June depth and these different investigations, it says proper investigations will be impossible due to ongoing destruction of evidence. That’s a good point. Let’s see. Another listener said President Trump has to do whatever he has to to get his appointed nominees in and do his great policies like he said he’d do immediately in the first year. Another listener said, let’s see, how’s this? Dems who swear off sex are self-defeating for future voters. We’ll have to ruminate on that one. Oh, Yvonne, again, thanks for announcing the event tonight. This is regarding Talking Trash up in Fort Collins regarding the forced trash fee. That meeting is at 5.30 today, Monday, in the downtown Fort Collins library. uh let’s see here uh this is a long text it says in past presidential elections prior to trump didn’t we always have a peaceful transition of power where the president that is incoming was allowed to implement his agenda as he saw fit i don’t know the answer to that says um this listener went on to say i’m very concerned about the elections here in colorado and we are as as well and that’s why we have these two lawsuits out there that were funded by all of you through the Colorado 2024 Election Project. And both of those indicate that our elections are not up to, well, the United Sovereign Americans indicates that our elections are not meeting the minimum standards as set forth by Congress. And that’s because of a lot of great research that Mike Cahoon and his team has done regarding these elections. And then the other lawsuit that we have out there is through Peter Brunegger with the Wisconsin Center for Election Justice, where they found that our voter rolls are not clean. And so anyway, this person went on to say, it says… They live in Jefferson County and was very concerned about the detabering of Jefferson County. The language was deceptive. Of course it was. That’s by design. And says she blessed Natalie Minton for being willing to run where I’m so sorry that she did not win. And let’s see here. Okay. One of our listeners said, it looks like Wyoming is going to get a lot more Colorado residents fleeing for freedom. And then this last text, it says, I mentioned that Arapahoe and Jefferson County voted to give up their Tabor as well as we voted to give up the Tabor refunds in RTD as well. And yes, that is for excess. My understanding is yes, that is giving up our Tabor refunds of excess revenue in those counties forever. Also, it gave up the property tax caps is my understanding as well. And again, thank you, Natalie Minton, for being such a great watchdog for all of us. Ronald Reagan said this as our quote for the end of the day. He says extreme taxation, excessive controls, oppressive government competition with business, frustrated minorities and forgotten Americans are not the products of free enterprise. They are the residue of centralized bureaucracy of government by a self-anointed elite. My friends, today be grateful, read great books, think good thoughts, listen to beautiful music, communicate and listen well, live honestly and authentically, strive for high ideals, and like Superman, stand for truth, justice, and the American way. My friends, you are not alone. God bless you, and God bless America.
