SPEAKER 02 :
Hello, hello, hello. Happy Monday, everyone, and happy St. Patrick’s Day. Thank you for tuning in to Shooting the Breeze today, brought to you by Franktown Firearms. My name is Karen Murray, a.k.a. Mama Glock, as you know when I sign off. And I am the lead instructor at Franktown Firearms. And I’m going to just come right out of the gate right now and tell you guys that There’s a reason why I was not live on the show last week. It’s because I had a pretty gnarly kind of a chest cold thing going on, and I still have the residual cough going on a little bit. So if I burst into coughing, I will try to hit my mute button as fast as I can, collect myself, and get back at it. So just want to give you a forewarning right now. I hope that doesn’t happen, but you never know. So let’s talk about Franktown Firearms for a minute, shall we? So despite the efforts of Colorado lawmakers to make the lives of law-abiding gun owners a living hell, there are a lot of great things happening at Franktown Firearms, and you just have to come in and take a look. The inventory is amazing, and we’re getting new inventory every week. The range has been upgraded with new lighting and sound-absorbing foam that’s really great. The shoot house is you guys, the shoot house. It’s ready for classes. There’s nothing like this in the state that’s open to the public. And we went through some upgrades and some improvements on it over the weekend. And we’re soon going to be offering a home defense series of classes in addition to a bunch of other classes. But the home defense series is something that we came up with that is going to put you in a more realistic, immersive kind of environment with rooms and doors and things like that. We can teach you sort of what to do, what not to do, and kind of the steps to take if you’re ever a victim of a middle-of-the-night break-in or a home invasion or you walk in on a burglar or whatever. So scenario-based training. So stay tuned for that. We’ve got the curriculum kind of laid out a little bit. We’re just kind of putting some fine touches on it. But it’s going to be amazing and something that every family is going to want to do. So the shoot house, let me just tell you what the shoot house is, just in case you don’t really know what I’m talking about. So it’s a shoot house that we’ve built within Franktown Firearms. So it’s a wooden structure inside of a metal shop, pretty much. And the structure has four rooms, and each room has two doors. And so you learn how to come around corners, how to enter rooms, how to not enter rooms, what not to do, that kind of thing. There’s a back entrance and a front entrance, and you can kind of go through some scenario-based kind of training that you can apply those principles to your own home and sort of what you can do around your own corners coming out of your bedroom or coming in from your garage or whatever. So it’s going to be a really great, and we can, you know, control the lighting to where, you know, everything is very dark and you just got sort of simulated candlelight and that kind of thing. Absolutely unmatched, and families with kids, all the shooting and the training is done with either blue guns, which are fake. They’re just hunks of rubber or plastic that look like guns, feel like guns, and then Airsoft, so the little plastic pellet ones. So you can do this in a safe environment that’s, you know, non-lethal and really get the training that you need, especially if you have kids. So we’re talking about, you know, inviting families with children to come into these classes and really get some good training in a realistic kind of environment. So you just have to check it out. There is something for everyone at Franktown Firearms. So if you haven’t been in several months, it’s time you check in You can reach us by phone at 720-770-7777 or one of two websites. You can go to franktownfirearms.com or you can visit the website for the shoot house is Colorado CQB. So that’s the company and the website is www.cocqb.com. You can go check that out there. And can we all agree that our gun laws in this state are terrible and getting worse all the time? I think we can all agree on that, especially if you’re a gun owner, you know what I’m talking about. So this new excise tax, which was approved by voters, by the way, on firearms and firearm parts and ammunition, goes into effect April 1st. So if you don’t know this, you need to get with the picture, and you need to go shopping for ammunition and guns ASAP. Everything is going to get more expensive, considerably more expensive. So I’m going to give you yet another reason to do your shopping at Franktown Firearms. So we are located in unincorporated Douglas County, so there is no state sales tax. So I’m going to make this really simple for you. If you shop at a retail store within a town or a city that charges state sales tax, Keep in mind, this 6.5% excise tax will be in addition to the current amount of tax that you’re already charged. So here are some of the current sales tax percentages you’re charged in other cities. Lone Tree is 7.5%. Castle Rock is 8.1%. Castle Pines is 7.75%. Parker is 8%. Colorado Springs is 8.2%. Aurora is 8%. And Denver is 9.15%. Now, I don’t know how many gun stores are in the city and county of Denver, but as an example, if you, let’s say you wanted to be a big spender and you wanted to buy that dream staccato that you’ve been talking about forever, and it’s a $3,500 gun. So you go to another retailer in Denver or Castle Pines or Castle Rock or Lone Tree or Parker or wherever, and you want to get this $3,500 gun. you’re going to pay an additional $547 in sales tax. Well, that’s going to be your sales tax. So if you bought it at Franktown, it’s not going to be nearly as much. So let’s see. If you’re at Franktown Firearms, you would pay – an additional $367 in sales tax for that $3,500 gun. If you bought it in Denver, you’d pay $547 in sales tax. So just by buying that Staccato, that dream gun of yours at Franktown Firearms, you would save $180. So I think it’s worth the drive, no matter where you live, to go get your firearms and your ammunition at Franktown. I mean, even just a couple of boxes of range ammo per week is going to add up when you add an additional 6.5% to it. If you shoot a lot, there’s just no better local place to shop, period. And by the way, we have bulk ammo right now, so… If I were you, I would run to Franktown Firearms and start stocking up because even right now, 4% tax, that’s what Franktown charges is 4%. So you think about that in comparison to the Lone Tree or Parker or Aurora or wherever, you’re going to pay considerably less for anything that you buy. So head to Franktown Firearms, get that gun that you want, stock up on some bulk ammo, ask about a membership. You’re not going to be disappointed. You’re going to love it. So today, of course, is St. Patrick’s Day. And I hope you all are wearing green, your green business suits and your green dresses today so you don’t get punched in the arm. Is that still a thing? Do you still punch people in the arm when they’re not wearing green, or what do you do? I don’t know. Luke, what’s the current thing? Is everybody wearing green today at the station?
SPEAKER 05 :
A lot of people are wearing green, but I haven’t been punched in the arm since high school, so I think we’re a bit past that.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay, so that’s not still a thing. So I’m dating myself is what you’re saying. Okay, I got you. So I thought for fun, I could do a little history lesson about St. Patrick’s Day. Maybe some interesting tidbits that people may not really be aware of, the stuff besides the shamrocks and the leprechauns and green beer and corned beef and cabbage. So the first thing that’s interesting is St. Patrick wasn’t Irish. While the holiday celebrates St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, he was actually born in Britain. likely in Roman Britain around the 4th century, and was kidnapped by Irish pirates when he was 16. Isn’t that interesting? St. Patrick’s real name, his birth name was Maewyn Socket, S-U-C-C-A-T. He adopted the name Patrick later when he became a Christian missionary in Ireland. Not originally a drinking holiday. So all of you enjoying a green beer right now, St. Patrick’s Day was initially a religious feast day focused on honoring St. Patrick and his role in spreading Christianity in Ireland. The drinking association came much later, especially with the Irish American population. The shamrock was a teaching tool. St. Patrick is said to have used the three leaves of the shamrock to explain the concept of the Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to the Irish people, which is why it’s so closely tied to the holiday. It was once illegal in Ireland… During the English occupation of Ireland, St. Patrick’s Day celebrations were actually banned in the 17th and 18th centuries because the English government saw it as a symbol of Irish nationalism and rebellion. The color associated with St. Patrick’s Day was originally blue, not green, which I thought was fascinating. Over time, green became linked to the holiday in part due to its connection with Ireland. which is the Emerald Isle, and also the Green of the Shamrock. The first St. Patrick’s Day parade was in the U.S., which I also found very interesting. The first recorded St. Patrick’s Day parade didn’t happen in Ireland, but in New York City in 1762, organized by Irish soldiers serving in the British Army. The tradition grew into one of the largest parades in the world. And the day, St. Patrick’s Day, actually marks the death of St. Patrick. It’s celebrated on March 17th because it’s believed to be the date of St. Patrick’s death in 461 A.D. Not all Irish celebrate because it’s a huge holiday, or while it’s a huge holiday in many parts of the world, particularly in the U.S., it’s actually not a widely celebrated in Ireland, as one might think. Many Irish people celebrate it, but it’s primarily a public holiday with a religious focus, and not everyone participates in the festivities. And last but not least, the Irish didn’t always wear green. In the early years, people wore blue to mark St. Patrick’s Day, and it wasn’t until the 19th century due to nationalistic movements that green became the color of choice for the day. So there you go. Some history that you may not know. I know I didn’t. I hope everyone goes out and stays safe, has a Jameson, some shepherd’s pie, some Irish soda bread. But regardless, stay safe out there. So let’s talk about what’s happening with Alex Jones. Now, this may seem irrelevant, but it really isn’t. It’s kind of connected to everything. So you know who Alex Jones is, and if you don’t, you just look him up. He’s the founder of InfoWars. And if you Google him, you’re going to see he’s a far right-wing conspiracy theorist. That’s what you see on Google or any other search engine about Alex Jones. But there are some crazy things happening in the Alex Jones sphere today. there is a thing called the Ukraine enemies list or Ukrainian enemies list. Now, I don’t know if you’re aware of what happened to one of InfoWars’ best writers, Jamie White. And I’m going to talk about this here in just a second. But there is a thing out there, and I’m sure you’re aware of it, the term called swatting. Now, SWATing is a very dangerous prank involving false reports of serious emergencies, such as active shooter situations or hostage scenarios, to provoke a response from law enforcement, often resulting in the deployment of SWAT teams. This act not only wastes valuable resources, but also poses significant risks to innocent individuals. Recently, Alex Jones, founder of InfoWars, and Chase Geiser, he’s one of the hosts at InfoWars, have been involved in swatting incidents. And when I say they’re involved, they were swatted, okay? That’s kind of what that means. So that is serious business, and Alex Jones seems to think that Jamie White was actually on this list as well, this Ukrainian kill list or whatever, enemy’s list. So Chase Geiser, like I said, he’s one of the hosts on InfoWars. InfoWars has a bunch of different hosts. It’s not just Alex Jones. There’s several. So on March 11, 2025, Geiser experienced a campaign swatting at his residence with police arriving before 2 a.m. instructing him to come outside. He was swatted again within the same 24-hour period. Geiser noted that both he and late Jamie White were on a Ukrainian enemies of the state’s list, suggesting a possible connection between their reporting and the harassment they faced. And this was a little subheading for Jamie White’s tragic death. Jamie White, an InfoWars reporter, was fatally shot March 10th. So a day before Chase Geyser got swatted, Jamie White was murdered in Austin, Texas. Before his death, White claimed he was placed on the Ukrainian enemies list due to his work with InfoWars and Alex Jones alleging ties to entities like the United States State Department and the CIA. Alex Jones has suggested that White’s inclusion on this list could have made him a target, raising concerns about potential threats from Ukrainian individuals. So This Ukrainian enemies list, an independent Ukrainian media NGO published a list in mid-2024 analyzing individuals who opposed the Ukraine-Russia conflict, labeling them as pushing Kremlin propaganda, and that’s in quotes. This list included Alex Jones, Jamie White, and Chase Geiser, among many others. There’s a whole bunch of people on this list. The publication of this list has raised concerns about potential targeting and harassment of those named, especially given the subsequent swatting incidents involving Geyser and the tragic death of Jamie White. Another well-known personality who is allegedly on the Ukrainian enemies list is Joe Paggs, and he was talking about his experience. I watched a TikTok video that he put out, but he waited… This was sometime last week, and he was swatted like on Monday, and he didn’t talk about it until Wednesday or Thursday or something like that because he didn’t want to give whoever was responsible for the swatting, he didn’t want to give them any notoriety or any kudos or any of that. But the crazy thing is the phone numbers, because you know they can trace all these 911 calls, right? So these phone numbers were allegedly tied to Ukrainian IP addresses. So I don’t know if that’s – there’s a lot of spoofing that people can do, and they can take an address or an IP address and make it look like it’s somewhere else in the world. So I don’t know. I really don’t know. Nobody really knows at this point. But he was telling this story, and General Michael Flynn has verified the existence of this list. And he’s kind of put a warning out to everybody who’s on it, just watch your six, because These people mean business. And, you know, if Jamie White is indeed, if his murder was anything associated with this list, then, yeah, people have to kind of worry about that stuff. So very scary. You know, it’s funny. You never hear about liberals being swatted, right? You never hear about, like, Chuck Schumer being swatted. And if you know, if you’ve heard any of the swatting stories, These people come up with crazy, crazy situations. Like Chase Geiser was talking about his situation with swatting. And he said that he got a phone call from somebody called his number when they got the 911 call. I don’t know if it was to verify his location or whatever, what they were doing, but they called his cell phone and said, they said they got a report that he was like holding his wife hostage in the basement of his house or something. But he lives in Austin, Texas, and I guess they don’t have a lot of basements in Texas. So that right there tells you that whoever did this doesn’t really know much about land and real estate in Texas, that homes don’t have a lot of basements. So That was interesting to me. But they’ll come up with some crazy stuff like, you know, this guy, he killed his wife and he’s holding his kids hostage in this house. And, you know, they’ll make this big, huge production out of it and send, like the article says, they’ll send the whole SWAT team to your house. And then what they’re hoping for, like Joe Pax was saying, he said, I had a couple of choices. I could grab my rifle and I could go out the front door and I could see what’s what. Or I could, you know, go out the back door. Or what he chose to do was to call the non-emergency number or call 911 himself and ask, do you have people at this address? And they verified while he was still in the house. And yes, they did. And do you have people in my backyard? His cameras picked up a guy with a rifle, just a ball cap, but he had a rifle in his hand right at his back door. So how frightening is that? And this is the mentality of the liberal lunatic leftist fringe wackos that we’re dealing with right now. It’s insane. Scary stuff. So real quick, I want to talk about this auto-pin controversy. I heard Kim briefly mention this auto-pin thing, so she probably covered a lot of this, but… In the final days of Joe Biden’s presidency, you know that he issued a series of preemptive pardons to various individuals, including family members and members of the House Select Committee that investigated the January 6th Capitol riot. And I don’t like calling it a riot, but you know what I mean. We’ll call it the, I don’t even know what we’ll call it, the fedsurrection. That’s what we’re calling it. These pardons were intended to shield recipients from potential future prosecutions related to their actions up to that point. What actions are we actually talking about here? That’s interesting that they word it that way. The use of an auto pin, which is a mechanical device that replicates a person’s signature, has become a focal point of controversy regarding these pardons. And to me, it’s far more than just the pardons. We’re going well into every law that he ever signed, everything. Did he know what in the heck he was talking about or doing or whatever? It’s kind of wild. So I guess it’s been used before, but… President Donald Trump put this out on X, and what he says is the pardons that sleepy Joe Biden gave to the unselect committee of political thugs and many others are hereby declared void, vacant, and of no further force or effect because of the fact that they were done with Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them, but more importantly, he did not know anything about them. The necessary pardoning documents were not explained to or approved by Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the unselect committee who destroyed and deleted all evidence obtained during their two-year witch hunt of me and many other innocent people should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest levels. The fact is they were probably responsible for the documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the worst president in the history of our country, Crooked Joe Biden. However, it says it goes on to say legal experts, whoever they are, dispute Trump’s assertions, pointing out that the method of signing pardons is within the president’s discretion. and there is no requirement for them to be personally signed or even handwritten. Therefore, the use of an auto pen does not inherently invalidate a pardon. Of course, that’s from Axios, that section of it. So the pardons in question for this part, for this particular subject anyway, are Hunter Biden, James Biden, Frank Biden, Ashley Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the members of the House Select Committee on January 6th. All of these pardons cover federal offenses committed between 2014 and 2025. So I don’t really even know what to say about this. I don’t know a lot about pardons, but I do know that if they are pardoned, then they can no longer plead the fifth. So if any of this stuff ever comes up in a court of law or whatever, they have to They have to talk. They can’t just plead the fifth and not say anything, criminating themselves or others or whatever. So these actions have sparked debate over their necessity and legality, particularly given the broad scope of some pardons and the method of their execution. Nonetheless, unless successfully challenged in court, these pardons remain legally binding. So I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens with all of that if it goes to the Supreme Court. I don’t have a lot of faith in that institution anymore. I just don’t with, you know, Amy Coney Barrett. She’s turned out to be kind of a big, fat disappointment, to say the very least. And I read something somewhere that her son or her sister, no, it was her sister. Her sister was threatened by, And it made some little news blurb somewhere, but her sister’s life was actually threatened. So something tells me that somebody got to her, and they’re threatening her family, and so she’s going to rule whatever they tell her to rule. And that’s very sad, and that’s not how this country is supposed to work. So… Real quick, I want to talk about this little, I want to call it a blunder, but I don’t think it was. I don’t know. You be the judge. But the NPR reporter who smacked Donald Trump in the mouth with her microphone during a press conference, I’m sure you guys saw that. Danielle Kurtzleben asked President Trump, the question was, do you think that the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan has damaged the reputation of the United States? That was her question. And then she pushed the mic forward and smacked him right in the kisser. Of course, after that, her question really didn’t matter, didn’t have an impact on anything because that whole microphone hit to the mouth is what took over the news cycle after that. He just kind of gave her a look and kind of a smirk, and it kind of shook his head a little bit. And he said, she just became a big story tonight. So there are people out there saying that she did it on purpose. that she just punched that mic out and she wanted to hit him in the mouth. Others say it was an accident, but she is this Danielle Kurtzleben Broad is a rabid, self-proclaimed Trump hater. So I wouldn’t at all be surprised if it was intentional and she kind of wanted that notoriety. Look at me. I smacked the president in the mouth with my microphone. So what do you think? Anything I’m talking about today, if you want to give me a call and chime in on anything, you can call us at 303-477-5600. Love to talk to you about it. We can discuss whatever you want. So real quick before we go into some kind of dark news, I want to talk about this law that that Colorado has to enable motorcyclists to drive in between lanes of traffic. So in Colorado, lane splitting or riding between lanes of moving traffic is illegal. But lane filtering, which is riding between lanes of stopped or slow moving traffic, is actually legal under specific conditions. There’s a breakdown of these lane splitting and lane filtering things, and I’m going to go into that in just a minute. I’m going to take a short break real quick, and we’re going to get back and talk about this lane splitting and what consequences it can have. We’ll be right back.

SPEAKER 02 :
It’s almost like I wrote that ad, right? I wasn’t expecting that. That’s a new one, and I love it. So I was talking about lane splitting and lane filtering, and this all has to do with a situation that kind of hit close to home, and I’ll tell you about that in a second. But lane splitting, which is moving, riding your motorcycle in between lanes of moving traffic, and that is prohibited. Lane filtering, which is driving your motorcycle between lanes of stopped or slow-moving traffic. And that is legal, but it has restrictions. So the vehicles must be at a complete stop. The lane must be wide enough to safely accommodate the motorcycle. The motorcycle must not exceed 15 miles per hour. The rider must safely… and pass safely and maintain control of the motorcycle, the rider must pass on the left and not enter the oncoming traffic lane. So the law for lane filtering was passed and went into effect August 7, 2024. Now, the reason I bring this up is my daughter, she narrowly missed being involved in a crash on Southbound I-25, I think it was last Tuesday. She said she saw a motorcycle kind of weaving in and out of traffic on I-25 and clipped a car as he was changing lanes. and she saw the motorcycle go up in the air. But she was kind of in front of everything, and she was in a different lane, so she wasn’t involved. I looked for this accident just this morning and did see some information about it, but there really was not a lot of information other than there was four vehicles involved in the crash is all I saw, and that some people were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. So Godspeed and prayers to all of the people that were involved. especially that motorcycle rider, good grief. But obviously this rider was not following this particular law of lane splitting or lane filtering, just driving like, you know, a bat out of hell kind of thing. But all I have to say is that is probably the most dangerous thing that anybody can do on a motorcycle, aside from motocross and stuff like that. You know what I’m talking about. But I never understood why so many motorcyclists drive like that. And I see it all the time. You know, I drive to and from. I live in Parker, and I drive to Franktown Firearms. And so up and down Parker Road, and I see motorcycles, usually the guys on the crotch rockets is what we call them, you know, driving super fast. And they’ll, you know, come up to two cars, and they want to pass one. And so they’ll skate in between the two cars and gun it and, you know, hit the gas, and they’re gone. But you’re on two wheels. Without the protection that a car provides you, why on earth would you want to split lanes or weave in and out of 75 to 80 mile an hour traffic on a major interstate? Aren’t you just asking for a crash? Aren’t you just kind of begging for it? I remember a long time ago, I knew a bunch of people that either lived in Los Angeles or they, they used to live in Los Angeles or whatever, back in the, in the days where the bands and, you know, I worked at bangles for years and years and years. And, and, uh, the people would come back and forth, you know, they’d go to LA for a while, then they’d come back and whatever. And I’ve heard people talk about the lane, I guess in this case, it’s lane splitting in California where, uh, the traffic on one of the freeways out there would be completely stopped or moving very, very slowly, and these motorcycles would just come up 70, 80 miles an hour and just scream in between lanes of traffic on their motorcycles through traffic that was stopped. And I’m thinking to myself, what if somebody had to throw up or something, like open their car door, and for any reason, I just saw yesterday, I was driving around, stopped at a light, and the guy next to me opened up his car door to spit. What happens when you’re on a motorcycle going 80 miles an hour between lanes of traffic and some guy has to open his car door to spit or to throw up or whatever? That’s a fatal crash just waiting to happen, and there’s no way No way that that motorcycle can stop in time. So I think it’s stupid law. I guess, you know, if you put those limitations on it, but do people really follow those limitations? No, no, they don’t. So crazy stuff. So now I’m going to get dark here. This has something to do with Utah and very, you know, what do you think when you think of Utah? Yeah. You usually think it’s kind of the capital of the Mormon religion, right? That’s where most of the temples are. That’s where the people, lots of Mormons, there’s the percentage. I don’t even know what the percentage is, but you think about wholesome and kind, and Mormons are usually preppers, and they’re just good family people that love their community and help one another and just the whole thing, right? From Revolver News… Brace yourself for a truly disturbing story unfolding in Utah. It’s so off the charts, you might need to read it twice. The level of corruption exposed here is nothing short of unbelievable, revealing something dark, sinister, and twisted operating at the highest levels of the state. In short, a Utah fire chief has been arrested for alleged child sexual exploitation. So it goes on. Brigham City, Utah. The fire chief of the Tremonton Fire Department has been arrested on multiple charges after an investigation showed he allegedly shared videos and photos containing CP. I’ll just call it that. Ned Brady Hanson, 54, was taken into custody Monday by Brigham City police officers who had served a search warrant at the chief’s home. As disturbing as that is, the news or the story gets even worse. The fire chief was released on bail by a judge who was later arrested himself. Investigators uncovering explicit child-related conversations between the two men and reports suggest they may have also been in a relationship. But this may run even deeper. It’s become clear that something sinister is unfolding in Utah at both the local and state level. It seems that there may be some very devious rhinos running the state. So from Casey, that’s the account on X. It says, in Utah, we have state senators who are trying to reduce the duration a sex offender committing crimes against children or human trafficking is on the sex offender registry. And we have judges who have been arrested for sex crimes against children. The same senator is the chairman of the Judicial Confirmation Committee. Please wake up to the evil around us. We need a change in Utah. Utah Judge Kevin Robert Christensen, 64, was arrested Thursday following an investigation by the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force. Christensen is currently listed as a judge with the Box Elder County Justice Court. The shocking revelations between the fire chief and judge have raised serious questions about corruption and abuse of power at the highest levels. And then this is from Libs of TikTok on X. Ned Brady Hanson, the Tremonton, Utah fire chief, was arrested for the alleged sexual exploitation of children. He was released from custody by Judge Kevin Christensen despite a request to hold him without bail. Recently, Judge Christensen was also arrested after it was reportedly discovered that he had engaged in sexual communications with Fire Chief Hanson, which included chats about Blank abusing children and even the blank relationship with each other. So the fire chief and this judge are in a relationship and not just a golfing one, okay? This level of corruption is insane. What’s really scary is Judge Christensen’s bio on the Utah court website. Notice how he works with youth. His bio says, Judge Kevin Christensen was appointed to the Box Elder County Justice Court in May. He serves Box Elder County, Tremonton City, Brigham City, Garland City, and Willard City. Judge Christensen is a graduate of Weber State University and the Gonzaga University School of Law. He was in a private practice before being appointed to the bench. In addition to his judicial and family duties, Judge Christensen often speaks to various youth and civic groups about the structure and function of the court system. In 2006, Judge Christensen received the Scott M. Matheson Award for Outstanding Service to Law-Related Education. Local Utah News is covering this disturbing story and reports that the judge has been placed on administrative leave. So this little piece here is from KUTV. Two Box Elder County officials accused of multiple child sex crimes reportedly had a relationship with each other. And it goes on. I don’t need to repeat it again, but multiple sources are reporting this. So obviously the relationship between the two men is believed to be the reason that the judge let him out on bail. So very incestuous, so to speak, and conflict of interest, whatever you want to call it. But it was noted also that law enforcement requested Hanson be held without bail due to the risk he posed to children. But Christensen, his judge, released him from custody. Yeah, to me, you know, like I said, I say this all the time to my friends and my family is that you just can’t trust anyone. You can’t, it’s not just Republican and Democrat. There are rotten, hideous, deplorable people on both sides of the aisle. This has nothing to do with politics. This is just human character and the rot that is kind of festering in our society right now. It’s unbelievable. So, Anyway, on to something else that was disturbing enough for me to read. Yeah, let’s talk about a little money laundering, shall we? I just saw something before I came on the air about Elizabeth Warren and how, you know, she’s been screeching the loudest about USAID and all that. So I’m going to talk about this Act Blue thing, but I don’t think Elizabeth Warren is mentioned in here. However, Elizabeth Warren has been – has been getting kickbacks from ActBlue. So it’s, yeah. I knew this. I called it. You guys know that. I called this from day one. As soon as Doge started coming up with all this fraud, waste, and abuse, I called it. I said this money is being laundered back into their pockets. Somehow, someway, they’re getting the benefit from this because you don’t start out, like let’s take AOC, for example, you don’t start out as a bartender and end up a multimillionaire working in Congress. You just don’t. Period. End of story. So in an article from yournews.com outlines a serious investigation led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer into ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising platform for potential large-scale political money laundering. Comer, in collaboration with the FBI, is probing what could be the largest political finance scandal in U.S. history, involving billions of dollars in untraceable small-dollar donations. Many of these donations allegedly came from elderly Americans who were unaware their names were being used to fund Democratic campaigns. Comer emphasized that the investigation began after discovering suspicious financial activity, including donations from sources that appeared untraceable. He mentioned concerns about ActBlue’s refusal to require CVV codes for credit card donations, which created a loophole for fraudulent transactions. Comer also cited cases where individuals in modest housing were recorded as donating large sums, signaling potential money laundering. In the face of the investigation, key ActBlue executives and legal teams are reportedly resigning from raising suspicions about the platform’s involvement in illegal activities. Comer expressed confidence that the criminal charges would be filed in the coming weeks. He also warned that if the investigation leads to criminal convictions, it could devastate the Democratic Party’s fundraising operations, potentially collapsing ActBlue. The investigation is ongoing, with Comer and the FBI set to review additional financial reports and hold hearings. Comer predicts that the evidence will lead to significant legal consequences for those involved, marking the beginning of a major political scandal. We all know this is going on, and I believe this is just scratching the surface. And you know what? If you have ever followed Q, anybody ever follow Q? You might have heard the term drip, drip, flood, right? It’s not really a theory. It’s just something that was shown in the queue drops for a really long time, drip, drip, flood. So that is where information is released a little bit at a time, and then it’s like drinking from a fire hose, right? So we all thought that when Trump first got elected, his first 20 days, 30 days or whatever, especially, it was like drinking from a fire hose. Just the information coming out and Doge and all the stuff that they found and all the appointments and RFK Jr. And just everything was, oh, my gosh, this is crazy. And so you go diving deep into each one of these things. And I had a little side note here that Dan Bongino started his job today. as Deputy Director of the FBI. I could not be happier about that. I saw a very fun meme this morning about that. That was just awesome. So hopefully, you know, some things will get fixed. But back to this whole Q thing. There’s a lot of people that I listen to. I listen consistently to the X-22 report, for example. And that’s X-22 Report and Patriot Underground are probably two of the podcasts that I listen to the most that are most centered around Q. And they still are 100% all in, full bore, pedal to the metal with Q. And they always talk about you got to wait. You got to be patient. You got to be patient. This kind of stuff has taken, you know, 100 years to fester and to come about. So you got to be patient. You know, he had four years. He kind of got sidetracked a little bit with being impeached and Russia, Russia, Russia and all that stuff. So you’ve got to be patient. Well, I’m tired of waiting. I’m sure a lot of you were in that same boat. I am tired of waiting. It’s my opinion that those of us who are awake to this corruption and what’s going on and what’s been going on for decades, we’re not going back to sleep. We know, we research, we read, and that is the place where we come from when we’re discerning information. It’s coming from a place of, oh, my gosh, we’ve known this for so long. Anything with childhood. all the terrible stuff that goes on with kids and human trafficking and all the illegals and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We know about all of it. If you mention the word adrenochrome, people gloss over their eyes and they give you the dull stare of the dairy cow. They have no idea what you’re talking about. We know. So those people aren’t going back to sleep, people like me, and those who are accepting of new information are How long has Trump been in office now? About two months, roughly, just under two months. So anybody who’s willing to look at information to see the new stuff and all the corruption, they’ve taken it in. I’ve seen lots of videos where people are leaving the Democrat Party, dumping the Democrat Party like a hot potato. They’re out of there. So they’ve accepted it and they’ve processed as much as they can. And then there’s the rest. There’s the loonies on the left who are, I don’t know, they’re either on the side of corruption 100% or they’re too blind with their hatred of Donald Trump to see what their party has become. I’m not really sure what it is, but they’re not changing. They’re not changing. So that’s it. I think sides have been chosen, and I think we should just get this party started. I’m freaking ready. Jim, what do you got for me?
SPEAKER 03 :
Hey, you be ready all you want, Mary Karen. I’m telling you what. So, you know, a couple things. You know, I saw that short interview between – I hate getting names. Oh, what the hell? The guy that owns Tesla. Elon Musk. Yeah, Elon Musk. So I was listening to Elon Musk talking to that Ryan guy that you see on TikTok. You know, he’s got his own show. I know you know who I’m talking about.
SPEAKER 02 :
Sean Ryan, yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right, right, yeah. So they were talking, and… What he had to say and what this guy I was listening to this morning on Glenn Beck, you know, the deeper these guys get into this stuff with how dirty and rotten our government is, I’ll tell you what, Elon Musk said last week, he is really getting to the point where he’s getting real fruitful for his life and his family’s life the deeper they get involved in this thing.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, I’m sure.
SPEAKER 03 :
And this guy that I was listening to this morning, I don’t know who this guy was, Anyways, he’s kind of a Washington insider. And he’s got some, I guess, some major, major dirt on a lot of the Republicans and the Democrats and how they know exactly what took place and who was involved with that whole January 6th thing. And he was saying, because Greg Beck was wanting him to mention a lot of the Republican names that were involved in this that are dirty. And this guy, he went and revealed it to Glenn Beck on his program this morning. He told Glenn Beck he’d tell him off air, but he would not tell him on air. Because he said the same thing. He said, if I verbally say this publicly, he says, I’m just too fearful of what could happen to me and my family.
SPEAKER 02 :
Sure, and you can’t blame him.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, I mean, our government is so rotten and so dirty. I don’t think they’re going to be able to clean this government up. It is so corrupt. And it’s not just with the politicians. I believe a lot of multi-corporations or multinational corporations and these CEOs and people that run these corporations. I believe they’re deeply involved with this whole thing as well. I really do.
SPEAKER 02 :
Absolutely. Absolutely. And those are the ones that do all the lobbying and those are the way, you know, they’re all connected. It’s all the same group of people. It’s like George Carlin said, it’s a big club and you ain’t in it. It’s not just politicians. It’s yep. Like you said, multinational corporations and the Bill Gates of the world and the George Soros is of the world. And, and just, you know, and, and George Soros isn’t even at the top. You have to go up above them and like, look at the Rothschilds and the, You know, I’ve talked about the bloodline families, which nobody wants to talk about, and it’s too taboo and everything else. But that’s what we’re looking at.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. And, well, you know, the sad thing about it is there’s so many people in this country, even people that talk on this radio station, they’re absolutely refusing to want to believe and accept that the corruption runs that deep in this country.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yeah. Now, it’s the willful ignorance. And, you know, there’s something very stressful about knowing what we know and reading and discerning the way we do that it just adds, you have to kind of compartmentalize. And, you know, if you have faith at all, you just kind of have to take a step back and say, what can I do? I’m one person. What can I do? I mean, yeah, I’ve got this little platform here and I can say what I can say. Does anybody really listen to me? No, they probably think I’m a conspiracy theorist and they just, you know, goes in one ear and out the other. And, yeah, that crazy lady was talking about, you know, this and that and who knows, whatever. But, yeah, the radicals have been…
SPEAKER 03 :
Go ahead.
SPEAKER 02 :
The rabbit holes have been gone down in depth by so many people, and they have dissected and done research and connected dots through places like Open Secrets. You can’t deny this stuff is happening. You just can’t. We can’t. We can’t. But others certainly can because they don’t see it. They don’t want to see it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, you know, I’ve got to save up my TikTok stuff. But, you know, there’s this guy that talks about, these are philosophers from history that talk about, you know, government and just everybody that’s involved in civilization as far as, you know, your oligarchs, senior, your politicians and business people and all that. And, you know, I’ll tell you what, these people that I listen to sometimes on TikTok that describe all this stuff, I don’t know. I mean, it’d be nice to be really positive and try to think that things are going to change, but I really don’t think so, Kerry, because the other thing this guy was talking about and Glenn Beck was talking about this morning was the fact that they’re talking about how… Like England and Australia are just about completely gone. I mean, just completely gone. There’s just no saving those two nations anymore. And Canada is in the north of us. I mean, and there’s some corrupt up there. And that country is almost gone completely too, Karen.
SPEAKER 02 :
Yep, absolutely. Do you know anything about Ingersoll Lockwood?
SPEAKER 03 :
I’ve never heard enough about it.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay. Well, you’re about to get a lesson in Ingersoll Lockwood, so stay tuned for that, okay?
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. All right. Sounds good.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right, Jim. Thanks so much. So I was hoping to be able to get to this today, and I want to tell you guys, I have mentioned this before about this website that you can go to and then talking about the rabbit holes and all that kind of stuff. I don’t know who runs this website. I have absolutely no idea, but the website itself is – I don’t even know the proper word to put on it other than it’s very well put together. The links, the videos, everything that’s on there is very well done, very professional, but it is a rabbit hole in and of itself. So I’m going to give you the website. If you’re down any of these rabbit holes like 9-11 or JFK or human trafficking or J6 or whatever, So if you want, go to this website and see what you can find. And let me just add that it changes all the time. About every, I’m going to say maybe once every two weeks or once every three weeks, it changes. All the links change, everything changes. So here’s what you’re going to do. You’re going to go to ingersollockwood.com, and I’m going to spell it out for you. I-N-G-E-R-S-O-L-L. L-O-C-K-W-O-O-D.com. Ingersoll Lockwood. Just make sure there’s three L’s in the middle because Ingersoll has two and then Lockwood has another one. So make sure that all three L’s are in there. I don’t have time to navigate the site with you, but I’ll just give you a little information on how to navigate. Use your hover as much as possible. Find little areas that you can click and use your highlight as much as possible. Find words that are hidden in white text on a white background and just navigate, okay? This, there’s pages that appear to be blank, but when you highlight the whole thing, you see all this text. It’s crazy. Okay. Last I checked, there was 23 different things to find and click on just on the homepage alone. So go have fun with that. It’s, it’s, it’s mind blowing. So I’m going to leave you with the St. Patrick’s Day Irish blessing. May the road rise to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sunshine warm upon your face and the rain falls soft upon your fields. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand. Mama Glock is out for now, you guys. Take care, everyone. God bless.
