HR2 The Courts & The CO GOP. Sex Ed Summer Camps – CU Boulder. I Want to Raise My Own Kid. 4-29-25 by John Rush
SPEAKER 05 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 19 :
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. With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 17 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did!
SPEAKER 09 :
Get a job, Turk! You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 02 :
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 09 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind?
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by Cub Creek Heating and Air Conditioning.
SPEAKER 10 :
Actually, it’s Andy Pate.
SPEAKER 08 :
Party of choice. And welcome to our number two here on Rush to Reason. I’m Andy Pate filling in for John Rush along with Mr. Todd Watkins.
SPEAKER 06 :
Hello, Andy.
SPEAKER 08 :
How you doing?
SPEAKER 06 :
I am well.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay. Now, you know who Mark Hampton is, of course. Yeah, I know the name. He’s basically the, from what I gather, he’s the third in charge after Chuck and Julie at Rhino Watch. And he also runs Parker Conservatives, the Facebook page. He’s very, very active. And at one point he was asked, well, he was responding to how a lot of people were saying, of the Davidians. I call them Davidians. It’s an easier way to refer to the group. I’m sorry. The supporters of Dave, the Davidians. And a lot of people were saying, why can’t they just move on? Britta Horn won. It’s time to move on. Why are you doing this lawsuit? Why are you doing everything you did? And he said, he listed a number of things that he was expecting, that Mark Hampton was expecting. He said, if I see these things, then I’ll move on. One of them was, he wants a public confession in writing. Not berated in social media posts. Admitting that the coup was wrong. He wants this to come from Britt Horn, Eli Bremmer, Todd Watkins. That’s you. Kevin McCarney, Christy Burton Brown. She had nothing to do with the coup. No, she didn’t. So I don’t understand that one. And the rest. Okay. Remember Gilligan’s Island and the rest. Anyway, yes. So this needs to be public mea culpa on Rocky Mountain Voice and Colorado politics, acknowledging that your coup was a colossal mistake and the damage you have done that and the damage you caused with it. Own it. There was no damage from the coup, okay? But first, so many of these supporters have been saying it was illegal. Walk us through what actually happened. Why? First of all, why did you guys feel that you needed to do the coup?
SPEAKER 06 :
So my reasoning for it was that… Dave very clearly and overtly was going to and then ultimately did use all the organs of the party, all the resources and even the funding for his own contested primary.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right.
SPEAKER 06 :
Highly, highly unethical.
SPEAKER 08 :
Which, by the way, for those who say, wait a minute, Ken Buck ran and he ran for office.
SPEAKER 06 :
He wasn’t contested.
SPEAKER 08 :
He never ran in a contested primary against Republicans. Guys, I don’t care if you run against Democrats. That’s kind of a good thing. Okay? Dave Williams was the first chair to run against fellow Republicans in a contested primary while serving as their chair. An unbelievable conflict of interest.
SPEAKER 06 :
Go ahead. Horrible conflict of interest. I even drafted a resolution on political conflicts of interest, which… I don’t want to run down a rabbit trail. No, no. Bottom line, you cover it. Okay, what happened? Well, I actually spoke to him about it, about his run. I suggested that you’re going to have to quit the chair to go pursue CD5.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, and for those who don’t know, you and he were allies at the time.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I mean, I have to claim some responsibility for him becoming the chair. I definitely supported him in that. But that was the deal breaker. You can’t use that kind of an advantage. to then attack other Republicans. It’s a bad look for the party. It’s a bad look for his campaign. Highly unethical. And I wouldn’t trust somebody like that to have any other seat of power. I mean, really, that says a lot about conduct and character.
SPEAKER 08 :
Totally agree.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
And there were other things. We have listed them many times on this show.
SPEAKER 06 :
Sure, sure. Nancy Palazzi is the one who started the petition to get enough members of the central committee to call for a meeting.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, now let’s get into that. Did she get the 25% of signatures? Got more than that. Okay. But the Dave crowd, the Davidians, said they’re not legit because they were emailed signatures.
SPEAKER 1 :
Signatures.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, so there’s nothing that says that, A, they don’t need to be signatures. It just says if the bylaw – that’s either Article 5 or Article 7. I forget which one. I think that’s Article 7, that upon written request of 25 percent of the central committee, the chair shall call a meeting. If the chair does not call the meeting within 10 days of receipt of this request, then any member of the central committee may call that meeting and the COGOP will pay for it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, bottom line, you had the signatures.
SPEAKER 06 :
Go ahead.
SPEAKER 08 :
What happened next?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, they said, no, these aren’t verified. okay, so how am I supposed to verify them? And if I tell you that they’re verified, would you not want to verify them?
SPEAKER 08 :
If you’re challenging… How many of those signatures did the Davidians ever get to show were not verified? How many of them were they able to successfully contest and say, this is not a real signature? In other words, this person did not support the coup. You’re faking this.
SPEAKER 06 :
Not one? There was one that changed her mind when they called her.
SPEAKER 08 :
No, that’s changing your mind. I’m talking about at the time when they give the signatures. So they did not prove. You’ve got to keep in mind, folks, they were putting it everywhere. These signatures are illegal. We are going to contest this. And yet they never proved a single signature to be invalid.
SPEAKER 06 :
What they were actually saying is we didn’t follow a process that they came up with after the fact.
SPEAKER 08 :
Because they wanted… Okay, bottom line, you followed the correct process.
SPEAKER 06 :
There was no process. You want 25 names? We got 25 names. I’m sorry, 25%. I think we had 113, 114. Which is way over 25. It’s like 30%. Yeah, 30%. Okay, so you did well. Okay, keep going.
SPEAKER 08 :
What happened next?
SPEAKER 06 :
We notified the chair, vice chair, and secretary of our petition and request to call a meeting to hold a vote to remove officers. And they said, well, first we went back and forth on the nature of these names. And they said, okay, fine, we’ll put it on the agenda for the August 31st Central Committee that we’re going to call here.
SPEAKER 08 :
August 31st? When was this that you presented it to them?
SPEAKER 06 :
June 26th. Now, the bylaws say that the meeting, such a meeting, a requested meeting, must be held within 30 days. We were, you know, 60 days. And so what we didn’t want to have happen is agree to this August 31st meeting. And then they say, actually, we can’t hold this vote because it’s invalid now because the bylaws say that it had to be held today.
SPEAKER 08 :
you know 30 days so i said well we’ll call the meeting okay so the bylaws say that you guys you guys bring it to them you’ve got the signatures it’s been confirmed yes and you bring this to them and now within 30 days they have to hold the meeting according to the bylaw that’s right they did not what did they do instead well they told us they held a uh an executive committee meeting and denied our meeting said you can’t have this meeting to which based on what
SPEAKER 06 :
On the sound of their own voice.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay. Okay. Now, what they were saying and what they have said, Rhino Watch has said this repeatedly, all of the Davidians, not all, but you know what I mean. I’m speaking generally here. They say that your August 24th meeting, which you eventually had, was illegal. No, it’s not. No. What was the final ruling from the courts on that meeting?
SPEAKER 06 :
So there was a ruling before that because the reason it was August 24th and not July 27th is because Dave sued us. Dave began the lawfare.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, now this is really important, and people are probably wondering why you’re getting into the woods. No, we’re not. Here’s why it’s important. Because the Davidians, Dave supporters, overwhelmingly say that the big problem is that you guys did this in the middle of an election. Well, the problem is, no, you didn’t do it.
SPEAKER 06 :
They kicked the can down the road.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. You guys went to them in June with this. They could have held the meeting right then. They could have held the meeting within a week or two. They could have brought everybody together.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, two weeks, but yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, but they could have done it.
SPEAKER 06 :
Absolutely.
SPEAKER 08 :
And they didn’t. They actually held a meeting on the 19th of July. which wasn’t the meeting under the bridge in Bayfield with five people, no quorum. Okay. So they could have held the meeting. Now here’s, here’s why all this is crucial money, a hundred thousand bucks roughly. Okay. In legal fees that they are saying, because you held an illegal coup. They were suing you. This is the lawsuit that Britta just got thrown out. They were suing you guys for that $100,000 back because they spent $100,000 all to stop or delay that meeting.
SPEAKER 06 :
So it’s been $100,000 since August 31st, by the way.
SPEAKER 08 :
But there was a lot more before that.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, it was $100,000 in August, and they continued with lawsuits after that, claiming $100,000. Well, when did we get to this $100,000? I’ll tell you when we did.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’m just going with what they say.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, but it’s been a crock, if you know what I mean, of how much. So they finally broke, I think, $100,000 paid to Dave Piggott, the attorney that was representing Dave as the chair, in March.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay. Here’s the bottom line. They didn’t have to pay any of it.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, they didn’t. They just held the meeting.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, all they had to do was hold the meeting. That’s right. Okay, the meeting, you guys had a quorum. You went and you requested the meeting. All they had to do was hold the meeting. They didn’t have to spend a dime. Did you put a gun to their head and say, you know, metaphorical, a gun to their head and say, you have to spend this money legally? No. They spent all that money for one reason, one reason only, to save Dave Williams’ job. Correct. And by the way, he would have won the vote because you needed 60%. You wouldn’t have gotten it. He would have won the vote anyway. So the reason this is important is two things. Number one, that $100,000 was spent by them. And was never forced by you.
SPEAKER 06 :
Oh, absolutely not. Right. No, in fact, in order, let’s back up to August 24th. We tried to hold that meeting on July 27th. Right. After Dave refused to call the meeting.
SPEAKER 08 :
That’s the second point. The whole reason this happened, the coup, as they call it, happened during election season was not you. It was them. You guys tried to have it happen before election season. Right. You presented this to them back in June. OK, you’re not in election season yet. OK, back in June, we’re not in the general election season. The way you guys did it, the timing of it would have had it well before the general election, well before we’re walking neighborhoods, walking districts, well before we are turning out the vote for Donald Trump. Your timing did not affect the election at all. No. And you did not cost the party a dime because you didn’t force them to bring lawsuits.
SPEAKER 06 :
Go. Right. Well, and all of the candidates that they endorsed lost horribly anyway. I would argue that had absolutely nothing to do with this air quotes coup. They were they’re just bad candidates. They lost the primary horribly. Gabe went on to win CD8. And the funding that he got from national Republicans had to go through Arizona because they wouldn’t let Dave handle it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Look at this, and this comes right from Mark Hampton, what he wrote. Oh, and while we’re at it, how about you open those personal wallets and pay back the $100,000 the Colorado GOP had to shell out fending off your little civil war? And he also says, I want a second apology, this time to the entire grassroots in Colorado. He’s serious. For undermining the party during election season with backroom plotting that would make Frank Underwood stand back and whatever. Okay, you guys did it before election season. It was forced into election season by Dave and everybody who Mark Hampton supports. Correct.
SPEAKER 06 :
I would argue that Mark Hampton’s pretty responsible for this, too.
SPEAKER 08 :
Absolutely. He helped push it back into election season. And yet he wants you to apologize for it being pushed back into election season. He wants $100,000 that you never made them spend.
SPEAKER 06 :
No.
SPEAKER 08 :
OK, when we come back, we’re going to take a quick break here and we’re going to take the whole hour. Just one more segment here. And I want you to talk about the lawsuit and how Matt Arnold was trying to keep it going, because this is huge. And I think this is something that the National Party is going to look at. and say we can’t have this happen again. Sound fair? Sure. Okay, up next is Paul Leuenberger.

SPEAKER 07 :
Putting reason into your afternoon drive. This is John Rush.
SPEAKER 08 :
And welcome back to Rush Reason. Denver’s Afternoon Rush. KLZ 560. Andy Pate filling in for John Rush along with Todd Watkins. Okay, Todd.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes, sir.
SPEAKER 08 :
Let’s finish this up.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right.
SPEAKER 06 :
We’d love to. Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, people say, well, why do you keep talking about the past? Because they won’t go away. Yeah, I know.
SPEAKER 06 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
You know, people seem to forget when Dave came into power, Christy Burton Brown and her group went silent.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
They didn’t bash them. They didn’t attack them. They didn’t put any deep state in place to counteract them. They did absolutely nothing. That’s why talking about KBB and hurt people made no sense. You could say, well, what about the finances? I don’t think they proved any of that, but I’ll set that aside. The reason we’re going into this is very simply this. In a couple of years. We’re going to have another vote on the chair. Right. And I guarantee you this same group, the Davidians right now are recruiting PLs. That’s precinct leaders all across the state so they can vote them back into power.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
And that’s going to be very much of a problem. So I want to talk about this really quick. OK, let’s finish up with the lawsuit that you guys won. Okay, so that first lawsuit that – Well, actually, you guys had a string of wins, but I was talking about the recent one. But go ahead.
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, so that one, the most recent one, it’s not over yet. Eli the other day was correct that we had a pretty good victory with the judge rejecting Matt Arnold vis-a-vis the Colorado Republican State Party Controversy Investigative Committee. My gosh, that’s a long time, which apparently Dave about five days before the meeting where Britta was elected. Dave paid Matt Arnold five thousand dollars as a retainer. What the judge found is that Matt Arnold, who actually has a lot license. Yeah. cannot represent the party in the capacity that he was trying to represent the party. Why not? Because he’s not an actual committee. In other words… No, he is not. This committee that Dave may or may not have created… did not have the kind of authority right he said that lacks the authority we’re talking about the anti-corruption authority yeah yeah that’s and that’s what it was called publicly but this is how matt arnold presented it to the court okay was that big long investigative committee okay but basically the court laughed him out yeah and that was it so no what is there left Along comes Cody LeBlanc from Weld County and Eric Grossman from Mineral County, who filed a similar motion to join the lawsuit in the interest of the state party. And this is very, very bizarre.
SPEAKER 08 :
But they’re just going to get laughed out, too.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. I mean, if they don’t think that we’re not going to seek attorney’s fees, they’re smoking that Colorado good stuff. I guess so. Okay.
SPEAKER 08 :
Because this has been thrown out. What the… Basically, what the courts are saying is you can let this go. You can drop this.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. The people who brought this lawsuit was Dave, Hope, and Anna as the officers of the party. Right. They’re no longer the officers of the party. Right. And everybody seems to want to kind of skirt around this fact that one of the defendants, Britta Horne, was elected to chair the party while she was still a defendant. Right.
SPEAKER 08 :
And now, now this would have her suing herself, which is ludicrous. But also the whole reason they want to do this is they want to get a hundred grand back from you guys that you never forced them to spend and put it back into the party that Brita controls.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah. I’m kind of lost. It makes no sense.
SPEAKER 08 :
Bottom line, it got tossed. It’s probably not going to go anywhere.
SPEAKER 06 :
No, this one’s going to get tossed, too. This next, this other motion to join by these guys. Now, speaking of Doge.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yes. Cody LeBlanc. That’s what I was going to ask next.
SPEAKER 06 :
Cody LeBlanc and Eric Grossman. Eric Grossman is the chairman of the Mineral County Party. He also was paid tens of thousands of dollars by Dave for event planning throughout his tenure. They stood up about a week and a half ago a nonprofit. They’re calling it a nonprofit called the Colorado Doge. They’re using the Doge logo with the little dog and everything.
SPEAKER 08 :
Has Doge given them permission? No, no.
SPEAKER 06 :
We’re trying to kind of get Elon to, hey, are you guys noticing this? And again, they’re fundraising off of this ostensibly so that they can fund further lawsuits against the state party.
SPEAKER 08 :
They’re fundraising. How are they fundraising? What are they promising people they’ll do? Be doge in Colorado? Like go after polis?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, they’re saying inefficiencies and fraud, race, and abuse. But they specifically target political party. And on their website, part of their mission is to support the Colorado Republican State Party campaign. The Matt Arnold Committee, which is dissolved now, and a judge agrees that it does not have any legitimacy to stand any longer.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, so they are taking money in. So right now we’ve got this thing, because I’ve seen this around, Colorado Doge. It’s a fraud. It’s a fraud. It’s a grift. Right, it’s a grift. Basically, they’re trying, I guess so, I don’t know anything about them, but basically they’re trying to raise money. And they’re saying that they are going to do what Doge does nationally. They will do it locally, and that’s great. But what they’re really trying to do is simply bring in money that they can use to keep going after the party leaders they don’t like.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s what it looks like to me. That’s a disaster. Think? Yeah. Yeah. So I would bounce this back to Mark Hampton. I’ll wait for my apology. Yeah, we’re not apologizing to Mark Hampton or anybody else. And if this coup was so illegal, how come the courts are siding with us? And if this is a failed coup, why are we in charge?
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, the bottom line is this, folks, and we’re going to lay this one to rest. We’re going to go back to some national stuff here. But here’s the bottom line. The coup was legal. Yeah. Okay. Did it succeed? No, because a judge… We lost a vote. Right.
SPEAKER 06 :
That’s what we lost.
SPEAKER 08 :
You lost a vote because a judge said, no, you need 60% of all the membership, not just of those who attend. Present. That’s getting in the weeds. I don’t want to bore people with that. Here’s the bottom line. It was legal. Everyone who says online that it was illegal is lying to you. Okay? It was legal from the start. It was always legal. The courts ruled it legal. Nothing illegal was done. And they’re not going to get a dime back. In fact, they’re probably going to wind up shelling some out themselves. And that is the end of the Davidians and the entire Colorado coup. Can we leave it go? Couldn’t happen soon enough. Yeah, okay. All right, when we come back, we’re going to talk some more stuff that’s national. I think you’re going to like it. Up next is Affordable Interest Mortgage with Kurt Rogers. Do you need a loan?

SPEAKER 08 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason. Denver’s Afternoon Rush. KLZ 560. Annie Pate filling in for John Rush. Together with Todd Watkins. Todd, let’s talk sex at summer camps. Why? Well, golly gee, because Boulder is Boulder, okay? And I think a lot of people already know about this, but I got some questions about it after we really quickly lay it out here. For those who don’t know, in Boulder, at CU Boulder, they were going to have some sex ed summer camps, okay? And I’m reading this right off their flyer. It says, let’s see here. It’s for all incoming 5th through 8th graders. Fifth through eighth grade. Okay. What is it? Here it is. Sex ed summer camp is full of all sorts of information regarding sexual health that most students don’t get to learn in schools. We will talk about everything related to sex, bodies, sexuality, sexy feelings. Sexy feelings. Okay. Media, power, and justice. Oh, yeah. You got to have that J word in there. Some topics might include bodies beyond the binary, sex, In other words, more genders, right? Feelings and how to navigate them. Gender and sexuality. Consent and communication. Relationships. Pleasure in all sorts of ways. They’re serious. This is a flyer. Self-love and so, so, so much more. They were actually doing this. Oh, my gosh. This is unbelievable. This is through the Boulder Valley Health Center. That place needs to be closed down and shuttered right now.
SPEAKER 06 :
As if their little menu of depravity wasn’t enough. What is this so, so, so much more? I know. Touching and fondling? I mean.
SPEAKER 08 :
What didn’t you cover? I mean, you know, the allure of toasters. I mean, there was nothing left.
SPEAKER 06 :
How many more felonies were in this list of possibilities for this camp?
SPEAKER 08 :
We’re talking 5th through 8th grade. We’re not even talking 9th through 12th. 5th through 8th.
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s just gross. I’m sorry. I don’t have any any better description for this.
SPEAKER 08 :
What is with the left? First of all, they’re sick. OK, let’s just say it, folks. They are sick. OK, because I’ll tell you what this is. This camp is exactly what they would like to do. The left would like to do in every town across the country. This is what they like. They like wackiness. OK, and they love sexualizing children. And it’s really disgusting. Children are supposed to have some, you know, let them be kids for a while first. How about a big wheel? Yeah. I mean, my gosh. And when they get, then they get older. How about a bicycle? And how about a baseball mitt? And how about letting them be themselves? Yeah. You know, here, here’s another question. I always ask this, Todd, how many teenagers, young teenagers are do you think would say yes to this question? Do you need the government to teach you about sex?
SPEAKER 06 :
they wouldn’t even know what you’re asking, really, and probably just say no.
SPEAKER 08 :
And older kids would obviously say, no, man, I already know. I’m good. You ever heard of the internet? I think I know what sex is.
SPEAKER 06 :
My generation, government was like, we were resisting everything. The purpose of being a teenager is to rebel. No, we don’t want the government. No. Down with the man. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Why would they want the government teaching them about sex or, in this case, Boulder Valley Health Center? Why do we have any of this? Why is there any sex education? Mankind did quite well procreating for a long time.
SPEAKER 06 :
We still are, apparently.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, still doing fine. And this is incredible. What they want to do is sexualize kids, and they want to bring them in. And this was going to be in July into August. It has now been canceled, obviously. But here’s the thing that gets me. It’s been canceled because it was exposed.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, that is exactly correct.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. They didn’t want to cancel it. They actually thought they were doing something that was okay.
SPEAKER 06 :
What is the matter with these people? And I mean, that says it all. The left thinks this is okay. That they’re redesigning what it is to be a human or a person in America. It’s social engineering.
SPEAKER 08 :
This was going to be propaganda. Let’s face it. It was mainly going to focus on multiple genders.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, of course. Normalizing that even more than they already have.
SPEAKER 08 :
This entire thing. was put together for one big reason. Reject who you are.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
Reject who you are.
SPEAKER 06 :
And rely on the government. Nanny state. Right. Unbelievable. These people are sick. I mean, I’ve come to expect it now, but this was… kind of on a level of depravity all on its own. Yeah, that was just disgusting.
SPEAKER 08 :
Along those same lines, and this is Kaylee McEnady. She’s talking about a law that is happening in Colorado. We’re talking about parents and misgendering kids. Here you go.
SPEAKER 14 :
in custody decisions. Now, dead naming is when you refer to an individual by their birth name and not the new desired name. So in custody battles, that would now be considered coercive. The Democrats invoked a rule to avoid any debate on this bill and these changes. And now it’s heading to the Democrat-controlled Senate, where it will likely pass. I mean, this is wild. Republican State Representative Jarvis Caldwell refused to stay silent, posting this.
SPEAKER 13 :
When we were going into debate, starting the debate on House Bill 1312, the Democrat majority invoked Rule 16. Rule 16 is calling the question and it ends debate immediately and then goes directly into a vote. And I believe they did this to silence us because they know how much negative attention this has been getting nationwide. And so what they did was they silenced us and did not let us represent our constituents and talk about the issues that we have with this bill. If you recall, House Bill 1312 says that if your child is confused about their gender identity and you don’t affirm that confusion, that delusion, then you are guilty of child abuse and you can lose custody of your children. Now, here’s what I wanted to say.
SPEAKER 08 :
OK, really quick here. I’m going to jump back to Kaylee. This is insane. Yes. Okay. Once again, folks, we’re not talking about kids who become gay or whatever. We’re talking about kids who literally believe they are in the wrong body. Right. Okay. That’s mentally ill. That’s crazy. And it’s going to be enforced.
SPEAKER 06 :
And this is inviting the government into your house. And the government is going to raise your kids for you.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. If the parent doesn’t refer to the child by the gender label that the child wants, they can literally take the kid away from the parent here in Colorado.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes. That’s right. It’s the government’s going to raise your kids for you. I mean, that’s what this comes down to. This is the death of the family in Colorado by 1,000 cuts. Maybe not 1,000 cuts. Might only need another couple, three.
SPEAKER 08 :
All right, let’s play a little more.
SPEAKER 14 :
So, Lydia, if you call your child by their birth pronoun, if you call your child by their birth name, that is considered coercive. And you could have your child taken away in the state of Colorado. I can’t think of anything more Orwellian or more big brother.
SPEAKER 08 :
I’ll just leave it at that. The other lady, her comments weren’t very interesting. But think about this. Why can’t Republicans win in this venue? I got to be honest with you. I guarantee you two-thirds of the state’s voters do not like this idea. Okay? Let parents parent. Let parents parent. Okay? I mean, it should be up to a parent to be able to do that. You shouldn’t be hiding. Look, if people want to change their gender or do whatever they want once they become an adult, you do whatever you want with you. You do you. Right? But when you’re a kid, the state… should not have this influence on your life. The parents are responsible for you, not the state.
SPEAKER 06 :
And the parents ought not be afraid of what the state is going to say about them as parents. I mean, this is Orwellian, it’s Big Brother. It’s insidious. It’s destructive. You know where this all comes from, Todd?
SPEAKER 08 :
This comes from school boards.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Really? Seriously? Because let’s take a step back for a moment. If you’re a parent, you are a consumer. You want to get the best education for your kid, right? Okay. You should be able to simply choose, okay, I want my kid in this kind of school, not that one or that one and not this one. No. The way we have it right now with public schools and school boards, you have to fall begging before a school board, begging them to allow your kid to be – trained up, taught in a way that you approve of. It’s ridiculous. So we’ve now spent many decades with parents begging before school boards for the right to have their kids raised in the way that they see fit. That, it is from that entire helplessness that we impose upon parents that we now have this kind of thing where, okay, not only are we going to put you in that position, now we’re going to intrude into the home itself. And if you misgender your child, we can take your kid. This comes from school boards. This comes from the helplessness of a parent and their school board. It is ridiculous. Every parent out there right now should be able to choose where their kid goes. They should have a voucher. They should be able to put their kid where they want. And the school boards shouldn’t have a thing they can say about it.
SPEAKER 06 :
a lot of work ahead, I think, to turn that around and not only empower parents to be parents, but face it, Andy, there’s a lot of parents out there that don’t want to be parents and they just want the school, the nanny state to raise a kid for them. There needs to be the onus of responsibility put back onto people who have kids. Parents, right? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
But you know what I think is also in play here? I think people just get used to their helplessness. Yes, it’s comfortable. Remember the frog in the gradually hotter water? They don’t understand. They don’t take a step back and realize, my gosh, I’m helpless. And if I want to get the schools to change rather than simply being given the choice to go somewhere else. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I have to either run for school board or help someone else I know runs for school board, go through whole election seasons and try to defeat union backed candidates. Right. To get the people that I want on a school board. So I got to beg the society to give me 51 percent of the vote so I can raise my kid. Right. OK, that’s ridiculous.
SPEAKER 06 :
This is really illustrative of the polarity between the two parties that this country has become. You’ve got the dependency nanny state Democrats. Right. And, you know, us, the Republicans who are independents in personal responsibility. Right. I mean, that’s a much better world is be independent, be free, and take responsibility for yourself, for your family, and not let the government have it.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, the bottom line is I’m very glad the sex ed camp was shut down. That’s good. But people need to take a step back and wonder these things.
SPEAKER 06 :
How did it get that far?
SPEAKER 08 :
How did it get that far? Why would anybody even think about this? And why, oh why, do these people have any right to talk sex with our kids at all? Is there any value to sex education in the first place? No, there isn’t. It’s totally worthless. Tell you what, let’s take a break. We’ll come back and get back on this.

SPEAKER 19 :
Listen online, klzradio.com. Back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 08 :
And welcome back to Rush to Reason, Dentro’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560 on. We had a caller, Max, and just dropped off. Max, give us a call back here at 303-477-5600. We’d love to hear your question. Sound good? Yes. Okay. Well, until Max calls back. Let’s talk about Rand Paul. Now, as you know, I happen to be a big fan. I love Rand Paul. I do. But he just came out and he said, Rand Paul says he has the votes to block Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs. OK, in other words, he can block the in other words, he has rallied together the votes in the Senate to block Trump’s tariffs. Now, look, Rand has the right to his views and everybody has the right to their views. I get that. But this is incredibly bad timing. All right. Why? Trump right now is negotiating to get us better trade deals across the world.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I mean, these tariffs are leveraged for the benefit of the United States.
SPEAKER 08 :
Right. And even if you disagree with that, the bottom line is this. Your president, your commander in chief, is up there negotiating with other countries to get them to lower tariffs on the United States. which will be the result of this. To some degree, they’re going to lower their tariffs. Now, if they hear that our Senate is going to shoot down Trump’s leverage… It kind of cuts his heel.
SPEAKER 06 :
Kind of?
SPEAKER 08 :
It’s going to wreck it. Rand, be quiet! OK, what he’s doing is he’s killing Trump’s leverage in these negotiations with other countries, whether regardless of what you think of tariffs. The last thing you want is your president to have less leverage in negotiations.
SPEAKER 06 :
And if it’s internationally like that. Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Am I making sense here? Yes, you are. I mean, what would you let’s say you knew Rand Paul personally. What would you have advised him?
SPEAKER 06 :
Don’t. Put a pin in this for now. Let this play out.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, what was he thinking? That is just sad.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, I mean, it potentially backfires on Rand, doesn’t it? It does.
SPEAKER 08 :
It does. Okay, I want to move on to another topic. I just wanted to mention that because I’m pretty disappointed in Rand Paul. OK, right now. And let me just say this also. We, the American consumer, we need to rally behind Trump what he’s doing with the tariffs.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 08 :
Even if we disagree. And I’m saying the reason is leverage. The world needs to see that America wants what he’s doing. Otherwise, he’s not going to have the leverage. If he’s up there negotiating at the negotiating table, the world has to know we’re behind him.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right, right. If he fails, then it’s going to hurt for the rest of us. If he succeeds, we all benefit.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay, really quick here. Let’s finish out. I want to ask you on this topic. Trump has just put it out that all truck drivers in America have to speak English. What do you think?
SPEAKER 06 :
You know, a lot of those signs, you know, if you’re a native Punjab speaker, maybe you don’t see the ice forms on bridge first and you don’t know what that means. Yeah, it would be important to know what the road signs are saying. Well, and also in your dealings. And also all the DOT regulations. Everything you’re dealing with. Yep.
SPEAKER 08 :
I mean, English as the official language does not mean other languages go away.
SPEAKER 06 :
Right.
SPEAKER 08 :
It just means we have a common language.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yes, that’s right.
SPEAKER 08 :
OK, I like this. I really do. I know. I don’t know how much this is really affected, but I would assume that a good number of truck drivers do not speak English. And that would be a problem. Yeah. I mean, how do they even do their jobs? Because they got to work with, you know, they got to work with businesses.
SPEAKER 06 :
I don’t know how many are coming from south of the border still. The whole – I used to remember – I remember as an agent seeing trucks, thousands of trucks stacked up every morning to come north out of Tijuana into San Diego. And none of them were American truckers.
SPEAKER 08 :
Okay. All right. And why don’t we close on this here? I want to talk about Melania Trump. Did you hear about this? What she did with the deep fake bill?
SPEAKER 06 :
No.
SPEAKER 08 :
Revenge porn. This is really wonderful. And I like how she’s asserting herself with this. Melania is so classy, right? Says here, revenge porn bill backed by Melania Trump heads to the president’s desk after overwhelming House vote. She got the House to vote 409 to two. I wonder who the two were, but in favor of this. And basically, let’s see what it says here. The House on Monday overwhelmingly passed a bill backed by Melania Trump that cracks down on the posting of explicit images, including deep fake nude images, you know, generated by people with AI without consent. Right. OK, so people are put. I haven’t actually seen these, but I’ve heard of them. People are putting out all these posts and you can take some famous person and make it look like they don’t have any clothes on, but it’s really a different body and you’re just putting their head on it. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER 06 :
Well, yeah, I’ve seen others where they show some not necessarily pornographic, but, you know, but embarrassing. There’s Tom Cruise speaking, but it’s not him. It’s a deep fake. Exactly. So, yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Well, she says the tools to address known exploitation by immobilizing technological deep fakes on websites and networks. That’s what it’s called. That’s long. And it’s known as the Take It Down Act. It was approved 4092 and it’s going to go through and Trump’s going to sign it. Basically, it prohibits non-consensual, listen closely, online publication of intimate visual depictions of individuals, both authentic and computer generated. And it requires certain online platforms to promptly remove these depictions upon receiving notice of their existence. I like this. Yeah. I mean, this seems like a win-win all the way. What do you think?
SPEAKER 06 :
I… I would support it. But imagine if Trump vetoed his wife’s bill.
SPEAKER 08 :
I mean, he’s not going to do that. That would be pretty dumb. But I like this. And by the way, hats off to Melania for taking a step into the arena and doing it on a major issue. And she gets in there and wins 409 to two. That’s pretty impressive. She is a very impressive. I think, you know, it’s wonderful to have Trump back in the White House. It’s also wonderful to have her back in.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
Hasn’t it been great?
SPEAKER 06 :
I mean, they’re kind of a package, right? They are. I would say so, yeah, they’re married. But I mean, just even politically and socially, it’s just… Okay, we got just a few seconds left here.
SPEAKER 08 :
Todd, thank you for joining me today. Of course. Really quick here. Sum up the Trump first 100 days again. What do you think?
SPEAKER 06 :
It’s been a whirlwind of success, winning bigly and hugely.
SPEAKER 08 :
What do you predict for the next 100 days? Do you think we’re going to get trade deals?
SPEAKER 06 :
I hope so. I think Trump has the stones and the backbone for it, and America has the… We’re still a world power. I think we win this. I think it’s just a matter of asserting ourselves, and we’re an irresistible force as a nation.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah, this is a president. Personally, I think the next 100 days are going to be even more exciting. I’m going to make a prediction right now. We’re going to see a bunch, a stream of trade deals, and the stock market’s going to go up.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 08 :
By the way, it’s been basically up over the last several days.
SPEAKER 06 :
Yeah, you were mentioning that.
SPEAKER 08 :
Yeah. Pretty cool, huh? Things are working well. Todd Watkins, thanks for joining me today.
SPEAKER 06 :
Thanks, Andy. Anytime, man.
SPEAKER 08 :
It has been fun. We’ll have you back. Folks, that’s it for our number two and our three. Once again, Jersey Joe with all the latest news and fun. Until then, keep it right here on Rush to Reason, KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 1 :
I’m a rich guy.
