SPEAKER 15 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 04 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes.
SPEAKER 05 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 04 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did!
SPEAKER 16 :
Get a job, Turk! You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference!
SPEAKER 10 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 16 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 15 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 07 :
All right, welcome. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Happy Tuesday. Myself, Andy Pate, Charlie Grimes. A little cooler out today. It doesn’t look cold, but it is. It is. A little crisp. That’s all right. We’ll take it for what it is. It’s a beautiful, crisp fall day. Absolutely. Okay, yesterday’s impossible question. What is sleeping through the summer called? Like hibernation is through the winter. Sleeping through the summer is called estivation.
SPEAKER 03 :
Estivation.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I don’t know if certain animals do that or something or do certain people.
SPEAKER 03 :
Certain members of Congress? I wish they would, actually. I’m not sure.
SPEAKER 07 :
Can we get Marjorie Taylor Greene to estivate?
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, please.
SPEAKER 07 :
That sounds bad. Just have her estivate.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
Sleep through the summer. Just sleep in every single thing you’re doing in Congress and call it good.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, I was saying before the show, I know that the GOP is not a church, but can we have an excommunication? I mean, can Trump become the pope, and can we officially excommunicate her from the GOP?
SPEAKER 07 :
We’ll get into more of that throughout the show today. Next question today is, which beverage company once claimed in court that its drink was so acidic it would dissolve a mouse in 30 days after a man alleged he found one in his can? Which beverage company once demanded in court that its drink was so acidic that it would devour a mouse in 30 days after a man alleged he found one in his can?
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, I know the first version of Coca-Cola would get the thing high.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, that’s true. Does that count? No, good point. You know, you’re right. That’s where it came from. Okay. That’s why it’s called Coca-Cola.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, yeah. No, I have no idea. Okay, all right.
SPEAKER 07 :
So that’s the question of the day. Answer that today on our Facebook page. Okay, we’ve got a lot to talk about today. As soon as we come back, again, we’ll get into Marjorie Taylor Greene as well. But Democrat donors, a lot of them are sitting out. We’ll talk about that here in a moment.
SPEAKER 03 :
Are you talking the rich Democrats here in town?
SPEAKER 07 :
Just in general, across the country.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :

Gil, what was your experience like working with RoofMax?
SPEAKER 13 :
Very good. With Dave Hart, we right away connected. You know, he was a very nice person to talk to, very accommodating. He even came over to my location when I asked him that I couldn’t go to him. He came to me and he walked the roof and he said, Gary, there’s just a couple of minor repairs needed. A few shingles needed to be replaced. And that was the start of my conversation to go with him. I said, well, give me a bid and we’ll go from there.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s great to hear. And how long did the process take from your first call to the final treatment?
SPEAKER 13 :
Well, it was an excellent experience. They were very accommodating with my time. Dave was very willing to meet my needs. And so gave me an idea of what it would take to repair it. It wasn’t very much. And so I think it was maybe he came over one day and then maybe two days afterwards and got it all done. All in one day. It was awesome.

SPEAKER 05 :
Country. Reason. Now back to John Rush.
SPEAKER 07 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. Myself, Andy Pate. Article out of Wall Street Journal saw this, I believe it was yesterday. Democrat donors sit on sidelines as party schism persists. The Republican National Committee has $86 million in cash reserves at the start of October compared with just $12 million for its Democrat counterpart. Now, again, that will probably shift as things continue on and we get more towards the midterms, although, Andy… But normally, this is not the case. Normally, it’s the opposite. Typically, the Democrats have deep pockets.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, yeah. And let’s face it. Most rich people are Democrat.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. And this is something that I think is starting to get out there. More and more people are starting to understand, wait a minute. We always thought the Republicans were the rich, right? We always thought that they were the rich. No, it’s the Democrats. And this is something where… I would talk to independents, and they really thought that that stereotype would hold. They’re starting to understand, no, it’s Democrats who are rich, and now the Democrats are pulling back their money. And by the way, you didn’t mention Trump’s operation. He’s amassed a war chest of $1.4 billion. Wow. Okay. Wow. Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s huge.
SPEAKER 03 :
Exactly. So the Republicans right now are rolling in dough, and the Democrats are not giving. And why do you think that is?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, and this article talks about it, and you and I have as well. I mean, they’ve got some major party divisions right now, which is unlike them. Normally, they are all on the same front. There’s even some – I talked about this yesterday. There’s even some members of Congress now talking about the shutdown, the fact that it isn’t the Republicans that are holding out. It really is, in fact, the Democrats. You know, they’re getting their marching orders from those that are on the hard left. And some of those more moderate Democrats are essentially saying, wait a minute, time out. This is not going to bode well for any of us, myself included, because I’m probably in a district that’s a little bit more in that moderate end of things. And if you guys aren’t careful, we’re going to really screw things up here.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. And let me tell you something. The schism is not in terms of what they believe. It’s in terms of what they say, what they’re presenting. Right. As you know, I was raised on the left. And so I always try to tell people this because Republicans don’t understand this. OK, when they see a Democrat who comes off as moderate, they think it’s a moderate Democrat. Let me explain this. You can use words for two reasons, okay? Either to reveal your thoughts or to conceal your thoughts.
SPEAKER 07 :
Correct.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay? Republicans generally and almost entirely use their words to reveal their thoughts. This is what I want. This is where we disagree. Hey, I’m pro-trade. You know, I’m pro-tariffs. I’m anti-tariffs. Here’s why. And so forth. And they debate and they hash things out. Democrats largely use their words to conceal what they’re thinking. Let me give you a great example. I grew up at a time when Democrats still made the claim that they were Christian.
SPEAKER 07 :
Don’t do that anymore, by the way.
SPEAKER 03 :
No, hardly. That’s over. Yeah, but even back then, I said, look, the time is coming when Democrats will throw this off, where the wolf will throw off the sheep’s clothing. It’s going to toss it. Why? Because they’re simply going to wait until America becomes more and more acceptable to not be a Christian, which, of course, now it is. Gotcha. But I said, I knew behind closed doors, they never were. Okay. And there are going to be people angry listening to me right now. Wait a minute. I know Democrats who are good Christians. Yes, I understand. You do. Okay. But they are pretty ignorant on how they’re generally when you talk to those people, you’ll find that they are very ignorant on how their party’s beliefs line up with the Bible. Now, what I’m getting to is this. The reason that a lot of these big donors on the left are hesitant to give is not because the Mamdani’s are putting out views that they disagree with. It’s because they’re putting them out publicly. Most Democrats, look, the Democrat Party is a communist party.
SPEAKER 07 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 03 :
A bunch of Marxists. Absolutely. What is the foundation of communism from each according to his ability to each according to his need? Every single legislation that the Democrats put forth is some variant of that. OK, redistribution of wealth. How do we do it? And the whole idea of it is let’s do it as subtly as we can. Right. But now they’ve reached a tipping point in major urban areas like New York to where we don’t have to be subtle. We’re simply going to rob people. OK, what’s going to happen with Mamdani’s election is legalized looting. This is going to be wide scale looting in New York. And the beauty is you get to do with your vote. You don’t have to pull a gun. OK, you don’t have to break the law. You could do it legally. You can legally loot other people. It’s going to be nothing but looting on Election Day. And the Democrats always want to do this. But now they’ve got a schism. They’ve got a group of people within the party who want to do it publicly, who want to be totally bold out front about it. We are going to rob the rich blind. That’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to rob the productive. And so the criminals and the parasites are going to rob the productive because there are areas where we greatly outnumber them. Tell me what you think.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, I think you’re right. I can’t disagree with you. And I think, you know, for some reason, I think there’s some very. misguided democrats that maybe andy maybe don’t understand everything you just said in other words you know i i will give some some grace i talked about an individual yesterday uh mr golden from uh i think he’s from maine talking about how his party’s going the wrong direction and it’s that hardcore left that’s you know giving out the marching orders and they’re completely wrong and You know, I’ll give some credit where credit’s due, and maybe these are individuals that, frankly, are more conservative in their thought, only buy into the party because they know it’s the only way they can get elected. I don’t know. I don’t know what’s in their mind. I can’t answer that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, if I may, in Maine, he’s positioning himself because Maine is still— He doesn’t have a choice. Yeah. Maine still has quite a few liberals there, people who want to loot and pillage. OK. And so he has to position himself in the middle like that so he can say, look, I’m troubled with how far my party is going this way, but I’ll still be part of that party. And that that is nothing but a political calculation. You’re seeing it in Pennsylvania as well. Go ahead.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, I agree with you. And again, I do think there are some in the party, in the Democrat Party, that maybe haven’t bought into every single thing their party believes in, although I think there’s a day of reckoning coming to where that side of the party is either going to say, you either march the way we want you to or get out, one of the two. Yeah. Am I wrong in saying it that way, Andy?
SPEAKER 03 :
No, you are not. We must be able to loot and pillage. Otherwise, get out.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. Because this is all about looting.
SPEAKER 07 :
And if you’re not going along for the ride, then you’re done.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. When you can get a larger group of people together and vote yourself other people’s money, all you’re doing is looting with votes. Okay? That’s all you’re doing is looting. All right? And that’s all that’s happening coming up, what is it, in a week or two in New York. They’re just going to be looting with money, with votes.
SPEAKER 07 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 03 :
OK. And right now there’s a real schism, though, in the Democrat Party because and I think for a good reason. It’s not that these people don’t think that socialism and communism is the way to go. They do. OK. They believe you’re moving too quick. They believe there’s a backlash. They believe that’s why we have Trump. And by the way, they’re right. A lot of America right now is lashing back and saying, hey, wait a minute, what happened to merit? And that is why wokeness right now is on the downturn. Why? Because merit is surging. People are looking around and saying, wait a minute, shouldn’t people be rewarded for working hard? Shouldn’t people be rewarded for brilliance? Shouldn’t they be rewarded for excellence? OK, and what the left is trying to do right now, Mamdani and all these people, it is a war on merit.
SPEAKER 07 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 03 :
I mean, they were at war with merit.
SPEAKER 07 :
OK, we don’t care what you’ve. In fact, it’s not even we don’t care what you’ve accomplished. It’s we’re we’re jealous and angry at what you’ve accomplished. In fact, we’re going to steal that back from you.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
We’re going to take it from you. We don’t like what you’ve done. We’re going to take that from you.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. We’re grounded in hate.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. And so then I’m telling you.
SPEAKER 07 :
Which really quick, which is so odd because they’re going to go against their own in doing that, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, they are.
SPEAKER 07 :
Because like you said earlier, make sure we remind everybody, those of you that are even on the left, you are the party of the rich now. Oh, yeah. You are the Democrats.
SPEAKER 03 :
Bill Gates.
SPEAKER 07 :
You guys always want to come out and talk about how you’re for the poor and you’re for this and you’re for that. And I talked about it yesterday that it’s the golden rule. No, it’s the guy with the gold that rules. You have the gold. You’re ruling. You want to rule over everybody else. Right. That’s why you want more people in SNAP and EBT cards and everything else that’s going on out there. You want that because that’s how you can control people. You are the party of the oligarchs and the rich.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. You see, it’s very simple. The Republicans every day want you to wake up every day with other people needing you at a good job. OK, they need you to show up, go there and be great. Right. That’s what Republicans want for you. They want you to have the money to both sides, want you to have the money. But Democrats want you to have the money in ways that you need them. They want you to wake up every day needing them. That’s right. You need them to redistribute other people’s money to you. Which, Andy, as we’ve talked about a lot. Because that’s very empowering for the redistributor.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, and I mentioned this yesterday. Keep in mind, folks, everything we talk about, and we probably should be – I mean, I think we’re pretty clear on this, but we tend to assume that a lot of people know this. So I’m going to make sure that in the future I continue to use my words more carefully – Because it’s not just the left. These are Marxists.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
Through and through. Everything Andy just explained about what’s happening in New York City and, frankly, with Democrats across the country, that is the Marxist movement. These guys are hardcore Marxists through and through, and it’s their goal to take the country over with their way of thought. Period.
SPEAKER 03 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 07 :
At the end of the day, that’s all they want, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. Mamdani was saying, we’re going to have free child care. We’re going to have free busing. Okay. Now think about this for a moment. Because whether or not to have kids is a personal decision. You’re going to have other people entirely pay for your decision. Not just, we already do it to a degree because I personally don’t have kids. I pay higher taxes because I don’t have kids to write off. I get that. But he’s going way beyond that.
SPEAKER 07 :
And remember, too, that the next step of Marxism, that sounds all great, by the way. Oh, we’re going to encourage you to have kids because we’re going to help you with your child care and this, that, and the other until they don’t want you to. Because remember, in Marxism, it’ll eventually get to the point where, oh, wait a minute, Andy. Guess what? You want to have a kid? Well, you only have this kind. Right. And you can only have one, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
This many, this kind.
SPEAKER 07 :
Exactly. Believe me, they’ll start off with this utopia of, oh, we’re going to help you have more kids. Yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hang tight. And by the way, if they’re going to provide free health care, who’s going to be running the health care? The state is. So the state is going to determine the values imparted to your kids. Now your kids are all going to think they’re trans.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay, now your kids are all going to be, by the way, in New York, believing Muslim.
SPEAKER 07 :
Good point.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. They are going to impart—of course they want to give free health care to your kids. They want them at the youngest age possible in their clutches.
SPEAKER 07 :
Indoctrinated.
SPEAKER 03 :
So they can indoctrinate them. That’s right.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s absolutely right, Andy. That’s absolutely right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes. Okay. And let me ask you this, Andy, really quick, because it’s kind of a rhetorical question, but has this ever worked in history?
SPEAKER 03 :
No. Well, oh, yes and no. In a way, it absolutely works. If your goal is to seize power and to render great masses of people powerless to where they wake up every day needing rather than being needed.
SPEAKER 07 :
True.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
The problem is, where I was going with this, as you know, is this doesn’t last unless you’re communist China, which… You know, they were so oppressive and had such a large continent full of, you know, billions of people that they were lucky that it’s still alive, by the way. And by the way, just as a side note, there are some rumors floating around. Don’t know if this is true. The problem with China is you never know what’s true. Let me make sure I state that. You never know what’s true when it comes to what’s coming out of China. There’s some folks running around. I talked about this a few weeks ago. There are some folks out there right now claiming that China’s population numbers are way overinflated, that there isn’t near as many people there as what they would lead the rest of the world to believe, meaning everything they do is propped up, which, by the way, I don’t know that I would disagree with.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, I do know one real problem. Their population’s old. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s all smoke and mirrors, folks, across the board. It’s like they’re ghost cities, even Jordan Goodman talks about, Andy. The reality is everything in China, you never know whether it’s real or not.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. I mean, like, you’ve got all these leftists who are hardcore environmentalists, right? Hardcore. I’m talking here in America. They’re hardcore environmentalists, but they’re also pro-China. I got news for you. The only way China has been able to prop up its economy is on one word, coal. Right. Okay. So they’ve been propping up their economy on coal. And by the way, the reason they’ve been able to prosper doing that is that they have convinced enough, and they pour money into these environmental groups here in America.
SPEAKER 08 :
Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER 03 :
They do. Why? Because they want us to be stupid. And they know it’s stupid. They know going away from coal is stupid. They know going away from oil and nuclear and all these things is idiotic. They need America, their main competitor, to be dumb and to spend way more for its energy than it needs to. And that benefits them. If they don’t have that, they’re going to crumble.
SPEAKER 07 :
And the reason why, folks listening, it benefits them is because they’re the ones that produce the masses amount of, quote unquote, green energy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
I put quotes around it because it’s not green. But the reason why Andy is correct is because, yes, they want that because they’re the ones providing the majority of that to us.
SPEAKER 03 :
Exactly.
SPEAKER 07 :
Of course, it’s in their best interest.
SPEAKER 03 :
They run on coal and they provide the green energy, you know.
SPEAKER 07 :
I mean, it’s a great scam they’ve got running.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The solar panels, all that stuff.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, it’s the best thing ever, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, they build the green energy for the stupid people.
SPEAKER 07 :
And we’re dumb enough to accept it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, but although, I’ve got to be honest, there are a lot of people, the greenies over here, you think, oh, my gosh, why do they buy into that? They don’t. They know it’s a crock. They do.
SPEAKER 07 :
They do.
SPEAKER 03 :
They know it’s all a complete lie. They do. They simply hate America.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. So they want America to come down. They want energy to be more expensive here because they want America to decline.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s right. They would rather, you know, these are folks, honestly, that would rather live in China than here. They just move in the first place and be done with it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. They despise America. They’re only here for one reason, bring it down.
SPEAKER 07 :
To destroy it. That’s right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. I woke up every day of my young life knowing and hearing how evil America was and how America was to blame for all the world’s ills, John. I don’t get that. Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t understand.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, that is.
SPEAKER 07 :
It doesn’t make any sense to me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, country on the planet. I mean, to me, that’s just I don’t get that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, you got to keep my my family was left left wing academics. OK, that’s this was academia.
SPEAKER 07 :
I know.
SPEAKER 03 :
I know. And this, by the way, was teaching your kids for the last 60 years.
SPEAKER 07 :
So good point.
SPEAKER 03 :
Isn’t that wonderful? That’s the only reason that a Mamdani can happen.
SPEAKER 07 :
That is exactly right. You hit the nail on the head. All right, that’s a great breaking point. We’ll come back. We’ve got our own problems, by the way. We’ll talk about that here in a second as well.

SPEAKER 05 :
The best export we have is common sense. You’re listening to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 03 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason. Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. John Rush together with Andy Page. John, in the last segment, we were talking about the big donors on the left are pulling back their money right now because they’re worried it’s not paying off, right? Because why do you put the money in to win? And here’s why they’re worried. OK, they’re not worried because they disagree at their heart. They are Marxists.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
SPEAKER 03 :
OK, they’re Marxists who hit it rich, who got rich. And by the way, a lot of these Marxists got rich off government. All right. And I won’t even go into that. Very true. You’re going to be talking about Bill Gates in a moment who, by the way, did very well with government help. But here’s why they’re seeing it go wrong, because the smart people in the Democrat Party have always said, don’t move too quick. By the way, we do some of that, too. We look at our purists here in Colorado and say, you can’t run Iran-Hanks statewide. Okay, he’ll get clobbered. Okay, they’re looking at the same thing, and here’s what I mean. Did you know only 30 out of the 50 states actually directly track Republican versus Democrat registration? I don’t know if you knew that. No, only 30 out of 50? Well, it gets muddied in some other ways, and I won’t go into that. But guess how many of those states, out of 30, have Republican registration surging over the Democrats over the last four years?
SPEAKER 07 :
Over half.
SPEAKER 1 :
30.
SPEAKER 03 :
30.
SPEAKER 07 :
30 out of 30 states. So 100%.
SPEAKER 1 :
100%.
SPEAKER 03 :
Wow. Have Republican registration soaring and Democrat registration. That says a lot. Yeah, including here in Colorado.
SPEAKER 07 :
Meaning that’s why some of these donors are looking at some of that as well. Believe me, these aren’t dumb people. They’re looking at it thinking, wait a minute, why would I put money into a sinking ship? Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. And what they’re saying is this. That is happening during a time when our AOCs are out front being way too honest about what we believe behind closed doors. They say this. Keep it behind closed doors. Out front, act pro-America. Out front, act pro-police. Out front, act pro-capitalism. Act. Lie. Always lie. Remember, Democrat uses words to conceal their thoughts not to reveal. And their problem is there’s too much revealing going on with AOC. And they’re seeing a lot of losses. And that’s why I believe they’re looking at that and saying, we’ve got to pull back the money. This is not a good strategy.
SPEAKER 07 :
Can’t argue. And one of those, by the way, that I think you’re going to see pull some money back because of what he just said today. And this article coming out, Charlie just found this and sent it to us. And I would hesitate to read this to you all if it wasn’t coming from Huffington Post because that’s about as left as it gets. Yeah, it is. And for them to push this particular article out means I don’t really even have to go verify this because they wouldn’t be putting this out if it weren’t true is my point, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 07 :
Because they’re the same people you were just talking about. Yeah. Yeah. So Bill Gates claims that climate change won’t destroy humanity after all. Scientists quickly condemned the billionaire philanthropist, claiming that the doomsday outlook on climate change has gone too far. Bill Gates, by the way, once a vocal clean energy advocate, said in a lengthy memo that there’s too much of doomsday outlook on climate change and claimed it would not lead to humanity’s demise. The tech billionaire and philanthropist also published a book called How to Avoid a Climate Disaster in 2021, but he released this memo, or released a memo this week before the United Nations Annual Climate Summit in Brazil. In it, he argues that many of the resources dedicated to fighting climate change should be reallocated to helping people living with poverty and poor health so that extreme weather isn’t a threat to them. The idea that climate change is the greatest threat to life on Earth is wrong, Gates claimed. Wow.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and by the way, can I amend one part of that article? It said scientists condemned. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, these aren’t scientists. They’re scientist activists. They’re not scientists. Condemned. Yeah. These aren’t scientists. They’re activists with a scientist label. They’re activists in lab coats.
SPEAKER 07 :
This is a quote from Bill Gates. Although climate change will have serious consequences, particularly for people in the poorest countries, by the way, I would argue that one, it will not lead to humanity’s demise, he wrote. People will be able to live and thrive in most places on Earth for the foreseeable future. Emissions projections have gone down, and with the right policies and investments, innovation will allow us to drive emissions down even further. Wow. I mean, sometimes a blind squirrel finds a nut, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Imagine that.
SPEAKER 03 :
Why do you think, John, that he’s doing this? I mean, obviously… There was something in it for him, so what is it? Bill Gates has known this for a long time. This is not news to him. He knew he was part of a scam, I believe, for the last decade or two.
SPEAKER 07 :
Here’s my thought on that, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
So why has he come out now?
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, because I think… Because of what you just said, he’s on the inside of this even more than anybody else. I think what you’re going to see here in the not-too-distant future, and this is probably just the beginning of, is, as Andy was stating earlier, these aren’t scientists. These are activists. And I think you’re going to start seeing some real data come out that basically proves everything that we’ve been talking about in our program, by the way, for quite some time. And I think what Bill Gates is finally realizing is, you know what, we’re not going to keep this stuff secret forever. We might as well just admit it. Let’s get people to focus their resources in other places. Let’s admit that this nonsense isn’t going to happen. After all, let’s shift gears. Let’s catch it while we can so we don’t have egg on our face when it’s all said and done.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
So people don’t realize that it’s a scam, maybe, Andy, is why he’s doing this.
SPEAKER 03 :
He’s trying to ease his way out of it ahead of time.
SPEAKER 07 :
Correct.
SPEAKER 03 :
You know, maybe he just thinks the jig is up, and I’m going to beat the rush.
SPEAKER 07 :
I think that’s exactly what he’s saying. I mean, we’re going to have somebody that’s an expert on this join us here a little bit later today. It’s ironic that this came out, and we’ll have Larry on later, Larry Behrens on, who’s an expert in this, to see his thoughts, because these are the same things that he and we have been preaching for quite some time now.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
It’s a big scam. It’s a big fleecing of America.
SPEAKER 03 :
And by the way, when I say they’re not scientists, look, I understand. There are people with PhDs, scientific PhDs on each side. Right. Okay, I get that. I’m simply saying I don’t care what your degree says. If you believe in global warming destroying the planet, you’re an activist because they know they’re fudging the numbers. Correct. They know that they’re messing with the numbers heavily.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 03 :
And, you know, any any idiot can simply look at when we talk about rising sea levels. OK, we’ve had industrialization now. We’re going on 200 years. Right. OK, that we’ve had it right.
SPEAKER 07 :
Heavy for the last hundred.
SPEAKER 03 :
Heavy for the last hundred. OK. And you’ve seen the picture of the Statue of Liberty and the sea level at the at the Statue of Liberty. And you look at it then. What? One hundred hundred and some years ago, 100 years ago, whatever. And you look at it today. It’s the same.
SPEAKER 07 :
And the other thing that we keep talking about all the time, for those of you that poo-poo that, how many rich billionaire Democrats live on the coast?
SPEAKER 03 :
Tons.
SPEAKER 07 :
Most. Nearly all. But Andy, if they’re all going to be underwater, why would they invest money there?
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, yeah. This was when Al Gore was predicting sea levels were going to rise many feet, right? And right during that, he built a mansion right on the coastline.
SPEAKER 07 :
Because they’re a bunch of hypocrites.
SPEAKER 03 :
Total hypocrites. They don’t believe in anything.
SPEAKER 07 :
No, they do not. It’s been the biggest fleecing. I also think in Gates’s world, I think he’s also – and it’s in this article – he wants to promote his small nuclear reactors, which, by the way, I’m a fan of. I mean, I’ll be right there with him on that one. Again, I don’t like the guy, but when it comes to his terror power – And the ability to power, you know, small cities with, you know, or even some of these, you know, server farms with nuclear power and so on. You know what? If we can condense that stuff down and make it work along those lines, Andy, I’m all for it.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, I love it. I absolutely love it. It’s just amazing to see the damn crack. Now, is he going to be the last? I don’t think he will.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t think so either. No, I don’t think so either. No, he’s too much of the leader of some of this, Andy, to be the first or to be the last. He’s the first, and others will then follow.
SPEAKER 03 :
Admit it, though. You’re shocked. I am.
SPEAKER 07 :
I am shocked. I’ll be the first to admit it because he has been such a staunch, you know, hardcore. I mean, he’s like Al Gore’s brother almost when it comes to some of this sort of stuff, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Literally. I’m not exaggerating when I say that. He’s literally been that much of a zealot for this stuff.
SPEAKER 03 :
John, this is basically, you’ve got a cult, and somebody has emerged from the cult, a leader, taken off his robe, and turned and said, that’s a cult.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
This is garbage. That is what just happened. I don’t know if people understand this.
SPEAKER 07 :
I don’t think so either. This is really big news. I don’t know that most people really understand that. Those of you that are on the left, by the way, this really… throws back in your face this whole idea that we’re all going to die from, you know, quote-unquote climate change, and you got one of your biggest supporters saying, yeah, no, not so much.
SPEAKER 15 :
Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
Not going to happen. Not in my lifetime. Not in your lifetime either. So, yeah, quit worrying about it. Let’s go do something else that matters.
SPEAKER 03 :
But all these leaders, they understand it. They know that the medieval warming period was actually a couple degrees warmer than we have today. They understand.
SPEAKER 07 :
Warming is actually a good thing for most of these, even these areas that Bill Gates is worried about. Oh, yeah. Being warmer in a lot of cases actually helps them, not hurts them.
SPEAKER 03 :
John, being one degree warmer is not going to kill the Sahara.
SPEAKER 07 :
No.
SPEAKER 03 :
You know, you might say, well, it’ll expand it. You know, actually, no.
SPEAKER 07 :
Probably not.
SPEAKER 03 :
Not much. Well, a full degree. But, I mean, there hasn’t been anything like a full degree in warming anyway.
SPEAKER 07 :
So here’s a question for you.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, go ahead.
SPEAKER 07 :
How will a lot of the now, you know, news agencies that, you know, it’s all the same mantra, they get their marching orders, you know, when there’s a hot day in Phoenix, you know, it’s the record this and it’s the record that. And even here in Denver, if there’s a particular one day where, you know, we’ve broke a record, that’s all you hear. It’s, you know, it’s plastered everywhere. You think the sky is falling. Will any of that change?
SPEAKER 03 :
No, I think it’s going to escalate. Because, look.
SPEAKER 07 :
They’re going to come out harder than they’ve been on that then because of this?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, because when desperation starts to hit, you crank up the volume. When you don’t know the facts, speak louder.
SPEAKER 07 :
I can’t argue that. So in other words, they’re going to be louder to counter what Bill just did.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
I can’t argue that.
SPEAKER 03 :
They’re going to speak louder.
SPEAKER 07 :
Somebody just asked, what about Greta? Where’s she at in all this? Greta Thunberg. She’s a dodo head.
SPEAKER 03 :
Greta Thunberg, which just blows my mind. I just want to remind everybody that this young activist has never, ever gotten into a one-on-one debate.
SPEAKER 07 :
With anybody.
SPEAKER 03 :
With a scientist on the other side.
SPEAKER 07 :
She can’t. Can’t never. And she’s and we’ve talked about her. We’ve talked about her in the past. I want to make sure everybody’s clear on this. In the case of Greta, she’s been nothing more than a political puppet propped up by her parents in the first place. She’s gotten extremely wealthy. And so is her family off of what she’s done with her speaking engagements and other things. I would hardly believe or I would have a hard time believing that Greta even believes in everything that she actually promotes and talks about. She just knows it’s a good gig to make money.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, Greta Thunberg, at the base of it, is simply just another Marxist who hates the left.
SPEAKER 07 :
Correct.
SPEAKER 03 :
She knows that this is a way to tear down— He hates the right, you mean. Hates the left. Hates the right. Thank you.
SPEAKER 07 :
You’re welcome. That’s all right. No, I get it.
SPEAKER 03 :
I talk a lot.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s fine.
SPEAKER 03 :
You miss a word.
SPEAKER 07 :
I understand, but I want to make sure that we’re— Absolutely. I want to make sure nobody comes back and says you guys were wrong.
SPEAKER 03 :
And you know what I really meant is she hates the West.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, that’s a good one. That’s a better way to say it.
SPEAKER 03 :
She hates Western civilization, which, of course, is, you know. And these people, what they do is this. The communists, and that’s what they are. They’re communists. They infiltrate Western civilization. They did it, of course, early on through our educational system. Now they do it through entertainment, through the sports industry, through big tech and so forth.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right.
SPEAKER 03 :
And media, of course. And what their goal is to do is to tear down the West. They hate the West. They hate your liberty. They hate the fact that you can make decisions every day on how to live your life. They don’t want that. Right. They want to take that away. And so what they do is the big problem they have is this. The West succeeded. It built incredible wealth and was blowing the East away. OK. And so all they could do is they couldn’t just compete with us one on one. They had to subvert us from within. It’s worked pretty well.
SPEAKER 07 :
No. OK. I’ll leave it at that. It’s a great segue. Let’s come back. Golden Eagle Financial coming up next. And again, make sure your financial future is settled. Talk to Al today.

SPEAKER 07 :
All right, that was about Bill Gates, and Charlie and Andy were just talking through the break. You guys couldn’t hear this, but the reason why a publication like Huffington Post that is so far to the left would put that out is that’s a shame. They’re trying to shame Bill Gates, just like a Bill Maher or anybody else would come out and be against them in this. Trust me, it’s real. My whole point with that is it’s real. He said that. They’re now trying to shame him for saying so. That’s why they put that publication out. That’s true. That article out.
SPEAKER 03 :
Let me ask you this. Do you think that environmental the attitudes of Americans are starting to shift environmentally like they did on wokeism? Wokeism has now shift shifted to where being woke is out of vogue. OK. And is I mean, most Americans still are fairly environmentalist. But do you see it shifting?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, because I think they’ve realized it’s a cost. It’s taking money out of their wallet. Their heating costs are up. Their electricity costs are up. What it costs to actually buy and fix a car are up. Here in Colorado, you get a catalytic converter that goes bad or one is stolen, and you now have to buy a California catalytic converter because of our stupid governor here in Colorado and our legislator. So you’re now paying double for that catalytic converter than you were before. And frankly, there is absolutely zero benefit in doing so other than it’s costing you more money.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, I know that. But, John, for the longest time, most Americans had idiotically convinced themselves that they could blame the rich. The rich are soaking you. That’s why the costs are up. The prices are up. They’re jacking it up so they can pocket more money for their next mansion. That’s why they’re doing it. John. um they’ve been able to get away with that for a long time the environmentalists have they’ve been the environmentalists everything they do makes your life cost dramatically more and makes you get way less out of your money everything and i mean everything it does but when the environmentalists do does no good for you and does a lot of harm but they’ve convinced people it’s the rich
SPEAKER 07 :
But when it finally starts to come home to your pocketbook, you’re getting charged 10 cents for a bag and you’re having this catalytic converter thing I just talked about a moment ago. It’s costing more to heat your home and run your lights and drive your car and this, that, and the other. I mean, when it finally comes home and it’s like, wait a minute, hang on, time out. It’s not really the rich that’s doing this. These are Democrat policies that are actually affecting my pocketbook. It wasn’t Republicans that put this catalytic converter law into Colorado. It was the left that did that. And I go down the list, Andy, of the other things that have happened to make those costs go up. And I think people, you know, the hardcore lefties, they’re bought in hook, line, and sinker.
SPEAKER 01 :
Yeah, I don’t care about that.
SPEAKER 07 :
They’re dumb as rocks. They don’t know the difference. I’m talking the middle. But the middle, I think, is looking at this finally saying, wait a minute, you know what? I hear these guys even on the radio at times, and I read some of this stuff, and I hear people talking, and, you know, at the end of the day, hmm, it really isn’t the rich that’s causing this. It’s the policies of these lefties, these Democrats that are actually making this happen. It’s really not anybody on the right that’s rich that’s doing this.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and I think another thing they’re saying is this. The people behind all this are becoming rich.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, good one, Andy. Absolutely, yes.
SPEAKER 03 :
I mean, these are people who don’t produce anything. I mean, Gates does. Gates has produced wonderful things.
SPEAKER 07 :
He’s one of those exceptions.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, but there’s a lot of people on the left who get very rich producing nothing.
SPEAKER 07 :
Politicians especially.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, insider trading.
SPEAKER 07 :
Just leftist politicians like Pelosi that become millionaires off of insider trading.
SPEAKER 03 :
Absolutely. Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 03 :
I just kind of, okay, well, tell you what, let’s move to one of ours. No, you’re fine. Let’s move to one of ours.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, I want to move, yeah. Okay. I hate to do this, but Marjorie Taylor Greene, who there’s some of you out there that probably love her. I am not one of those and really never have been. She’s one of those where, yes, a blind squirrel finds a nut, as I said earlier, when it comes to folks on the left. But Marjorie Taylor Greene, I have no other way to say it. She is an absolute wackadoodle. She is now fighting with Mike Johnson over this shutdown and what our strategy should be and so on.
SPEAKER 03 :
She wants us to buckle.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, she wants us to buckle. She feels like it’s affecting those that are out in areas trying to get reelected and so on. And she’s even talking about how Donald Trump’s losing support, different things along those lines. She’s lost her ever-loving mind. She is an absolute total wackadoodle.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. Look, and I will say this. I’ll give her points for one thing. Everybody in Washington is losing support a little bit.
SPEAKER 07 :
True.
SPEAKER 03 :
But the Democrats are hemorrhaging support.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, we just proved that in the first, you know, whatever, 40 minutes of the show today, Andy, 45 minutes of the show today.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. The shutdown is hurting Democrats more than it’s hurting Republicans. Absolutely. Now, it is hurting. Does it hurt Republicans? Some, yeah, because it hurts everybody. Because there are people who are saying, man, crank it back up. Okay. Yeah. But we’re about to have elections here in New Jersey and Virginia. Now, I do believe the Democrats outside of one race, which is the AG race in Virginia. Outside of that, I think they’re going to sweep and win all these. But they were supposed to win these by 10 to 15, 16 points. They’re going to win them by five. And what that tells you is this. They’re hemorrhaging support nationwide. It’s not working for them. And by the way, the worst thing we can do right now is break ranks.
SPEAKER 07 :
We need to stick together.
SPEAKER 03 :
But she has no loyalty to the Republican Party. She hasn’t for the longest time.
SPEAKER 07 :
She is an absolute loose cannon. I know other way to say it.
SPEAKER 03 :
And we have to keep in mind, we have to keep in mind, Wasn’t she a Gates backer?
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 03 :
Okay. Oh, yeah. Matt Gates. Yeah, she’s part of the Matt Gates cult.
SPEAKER 07 :
If she were in Colorado, she would be riding for Rhino Watch.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, she would.
SPEAKER 07 :
Sorry, but she would be.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right.
SPEAKER 07 :
And those knuckleheads would have her ride in in a heartbeat because they’re as dumb as she is.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and she bashes Israel left and right. She hates Israel.
SPEAKER 07 :
She’s a Jew hater.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, she’s a Jew hater all the way. Right. Okay, so you got… I mean, look, she’s from the crazy people.
SPEAKER 07 :
Her and Candace Owens ought to start their own show together.
SPEAKER 03 :
They really should.
SPEAKER 07 :
Because they’re both as cray-cray as the other.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Literally.
SPEAKER 03 :
And then, of course, you’ve got a couple people from Kentucky who just are messy. You could throw them in there as well.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, he’s another one.
SPEAKER 03 :
Throw him in there as well. Yeah, I agree. You know, these people are worthless. And what really angers me is this, John. They come from red districts and states where we could do better. We can upgrade. We can still have good, very hardcore, rock-ribbed conservatives who aren’t nuts.
SPEAKER 07 :
But it wouldn’t make us look like a bunch of nuts. Right. Because she does. Yes. And she is not us. For those of you that are on the left, no, MTG does not stand for me at all. Her and I rarely agree, by the way. She is a wackadoodle. She’s an alien, UFO, Tucker Carlson weirdo.
SPEAKER 03 :
And she’s been heavily criticizing Donald Trump.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, well, so have some others. He’s the big problem.
SPEAKER 03 :
He’s a real problem. He’s a problem. No, he isn’t. Actually, he’s the greatest president of my lifetime.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, and if it weren’t for him, I’m not sure MTG would even be there.
SPEAKER 03 :
No.
SPEAKER 07 :
Truthfully.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Because she’s, again, she’s a loose cannon.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hey, what did you think of Trump endorsing Jeff Hurd?
SPEAKER 07 :
I love it.
SPEAKER 03 :
In CD3.
SPEAKER 07 :
I love it.
SPEAKER 03 :
So, yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
And those of you that are writing letters to Trump saying he shouldn’t have done that, you’re a dope. You’re insane. Sorry, you’re a dope.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, let me remind people, okay?
SPEAKER 07 :
Jeff Heard… And by the way, you know who you are.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah. Jeff Heard won by four points in CD3, a district that Lauren Boebert had to flee because she was going to get crushed there. Okay, Lauren Boebert… was going to get beat handily in CD3. So she runs to CD4. And by the way, she cut our winning percent.
SPEAKER 07 :
Way down.
SPEAKER 03 :
Our winning margin by almost 50% there. Okay. She dropped it from Ken Buck from about 24% to about 12.5%. I mean, she killed us in CD4. But CD4 is deep red. Still on. Okay. Anyway, Jeff Hurd. He replaced her and he won that district by 4% that she was going to lose. And he won the primary over a guy, Ron Hanks, who was so bad that the Democrat was pouring in money to help that guy, Ron Hanks, beat Jeff Herd in our primary. Now Jeff Herd is running in the primary against a lunatic. Our former vice chair, Hope Shepelman.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yes, she’s a lunatic.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hope Shepelman, who claims that she was stalked by someone she can’t prove existed.
SPEAKER 07 :
She’s loonier than MTG.
SPEAKER 03 :
She is. Hope Shepelman is one of the few people.
SPEAKER 07 :
Which is hard to do, by the way, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
She is one of the few people with the R on her chest, Republican on her chest, who is nuttier than MTG.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s hard to do, I just said.
SPEAKER 03 :
Right. It really is. And these people literally want hope instead of Jeff Hurt.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay. They’re insane.
SPEAKER 03 :
And Jeff Hurd is in a purple district. And yet he has voted with Trump about 98 percent of the time. And these people are angry. Now, is he had a vote or two that I didn’t like? Yes. And I’ve said so. OK, but my goodness, coming from a purple district, he has been, I would almost say, too red.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, and just so you all know, Hope in that district is 1,000% unelectable.
SPEAKER 03 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Guaranteed. 1,000% unelectable.
SPEAKER 03 :
Guaranteed she would lose.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yep, that’s a guarantee.
SPEAKER 03 :
0% chance of winning that district. So if Hope were our candidate, that’s a Democrat district. We’d lose the House.
SPEAKER 07 :
Fortunately, she probably won’t be, but that just shows you how loony some parts of our party here in Colorado are.
SPEAKER 03 :
Hope’s going to lose that primary by between 30% and 40%.
SPEAKER 07 :
And hopefully she’ll ride off to another state when she’s done.
SPEAKER 03 :
Please do.
SPEAKER 07 :
And by the way, take Rhino Watch and the rest of the loons with you.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 07 :
Because they’re total loons.
SPEAKER 03 :
They’re nuts. I can’t stress that enough. As you know, when Trump endorsed her, I asked online, well, will Rhino Watch now declare Trump a never-Trumper?
SPEAKER 07 :
You know what’s funny, really quick for a lot of you listening, and I know I bash Rhino Watch a lot, but rightfully so. They need to go away. I never once ever hear from anybody from their side defending what they do, either in a text message, either calling in an email. Not one person on that side can defend their actions.
SPEAKER 03 :
No.
SPEAKER 07 :
Because they’re indefensible. There’s nothing there to defend, Andy.
SPEAKER 03 :
Now, all they do is lie through their teeth.
SPEAKER 07 :
Total bunch of looney tune liars that are masquerading as Republicans. It’s funny. They call themselves Rhino Watch when they should just go look in the mirror because they’re the real rhinos, Republican in name only. They are not Republicans.
SPEAKER 03 :
Last question before we go to break. Do you believe that the leaders of Rhino Watch flat out simply want to destroy the Republican Party?
SPEAKER 07 :
I believe they do. We’ll talk more about that momentarily as we come back. Don’t have a lot of time. Paul Leuenberger coming up next. Great guy, by the way. He loves to help you with your insurance needs. He is my broker, 303-662-0789.

SPEAKER 05 :
The best export we have is common sense. You’re listening to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 07 :
All right, Andy asked me if I believe Rhino Watch and those that are associated with them, their goal is to take the party down in Colorado. Yeah, although let me say it this way. They want to take it to a point where no one’s electable, but they’re still in charge because there’s still a certain amount of money that roll in with any party, and they know that, and they know that they can control the purse strings at the end of the day. By the way, these are people that, frankly, don’t have a lot of money. They’re not wealthy people. They need these positions and what they’re doing right now to be able to feed their own families, if you would. They’re grifters, and they know that that’s where the money’s at. So literally, they are grabbing at the purse strings of the GOP here in Colorado, hoping they can hang on as long as possible.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, and bottom line, without the caucus system in Colorado, they would be done instantly.
SPEAKER 07 :
That’s why they’re hanging on to it. They can’t compete. That’s why they’re hanging on to it for dear life, because without it, they’re all out of jobs and income when it’s all said and done. So I’ll leave it at that. Got more to come. Two more hours coming your way. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 06 :
Rich guys.
