HR3 Rush To Reason November 11, 2024 by John Rush
SPEAKER 16 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 15 :
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 03 :
With your host, John Rush.
SPEAKER 15 :
My advice to you is to do what your parents did. Get a job first. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 12 :
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 06 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind? It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by High Five Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, hour number three, Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. And if you haven’t or didn’t get a chance to look west, the sunset’s just about over. Hopefully you had a chance to view it, and we have not yet. Not that other states don’t have great sunsets, but we have really, really nice sunsets here in Colorado from time to time. So Charlie and I were just mentioning that a moment ago, how great the sunset this afternoon was. So if you get a chance to look at that, great. If not, well, you missed it. All right. Kurt, with Veterans Day, I should have known this on the front side. Financial markets are closed, and all of the mortgage world and all of that is also closed. I will say this. And I’ll get a chance to talk to Kurt here in the not-too-distant future. Why are rates varying so much right now? And there’s actually several websites where you can go and you can check what the daily rate of mortgages are and what are they doing and so on. And as Kurt always says, just because the Feds lower the rates like they did last Thursday doesn’t mean that mortgage rates will be affected by that immediately. Now, eventually that will get – into the system, and yes, you’ll see rates come down. And I firmly believe, just on a complete side note, had some conversations with some folks along these lines today, even some realtors, that Donald Trump will do some things to get the housing market going. What will that be exactly? And no, he doesn’t control 30-year mortgages, but his policies do. And what he does along those lines can either boost or suppress, as in the case of the current administration, housing sales, the market, and so on. So we’ll see how that goes. I want to get Kurt’s opinion on that, but we’ll do that either later this week or next week. So if you’ve got a question specifically for Kurt, they’ll give him a call, 720-895-0500, 720-895-0500. Kurt’s next. This is Affordable Interest Mortgage coming up.
SPEAKER 11 :
Do you have more month than money? The cost of everything is going up, except your income. How about some relief? Take AIM, Affordable Interest Mortgage, 720-895-0500. Do you have a great rate on your first mortgage, but household debt is swallowing the rest? Rates are falling. Lower your monthly debt $700 to $1,100 a month. Call AIM, 720-895-0500.

SPEAKER 16 :
In conjunction with Wizard of Oz, Wicked the Movie is premiering this week. Well, in turn, Mattel Toys shipped all sorts of Wicked Witch dolls to stores throughout the U.S. the past two weeks. Problem is that they printed the wrong website for the movie on the boxes. And that wouldn’t be such a big deal other than the website you would normally go to. It’s supposed to be wickedmovie.com. They left the movie part out. And unfortunately for Mattel, wicked.com is a porn site. So they’ve got all of these toys now out in circulation. They’re pulling them back immediately. Now, here’s the catch. Like a lot of misprinted stuff, money, believe it or not, toys, movie posters, things along those lines. When there’s a misprint like this, if you can get your hands on one, The chances of it going up in value on down the road is probably fairly high. Now, again, I’m not an expert when it comes to toy collections. I’ve got a good friend of mine that collects toys. I’ve never done that. In fact, I look back on some of the toys that I had as a kid thinking that if I had some of those toys back… They’d probably be worth some money today, but I didn’t keep stuff even as a kid. Don’t keep it today. I’m not a collector of those sorts of things. If I can turn it into something else called cash, I will typically do that. So anyways, just a little side story. If you happen to be in the world where you’ve got the ability to maybe pick up one of these missed items, marked toy boxes with the toy in it, I would guess that down the road that will be worth more money. Now, again, I’m not a toy expert, so I really have no idea on that. I have no clue whether that’s the case or not. All right, into some more serious stuff. Now, this is an article coming out of Zero Hedge. Did a little bit of research on this, and this one is pretty accurate. There are certain individuals, mainly female… And there’s this whole movement right now in the female liberal world. I think they’re calling it—I should have known this, and I apologize. I didn’t look this up. This shows you how out of touch I am with the left. Is it called B4 or something like that, Charlie? Am I thinking correctly that the liberal females are calling it, where they’re shaving their head, they’re abstaining from sex, and so on and so forth? I think it’s called the B4 movement. Don’t quote me, please. You can look that up yourself and tell me. But there’s all sorts of women that evidently, because they’re enraged by Donald Trump winning. that number one are moving forward with this particular movement, which I hate to say this, but at the end of the day, shaving your head and abstaining from sex, okay, fine, whatever. But at the end of the day, I’m not sure these are women that most men – I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be rude here, but are these the kind of women that most men would even be with? I don’t know. I don’t know any of them individually, so I can’t answer that. I’ve seen some of the pictures, though. And as far as the image they portray, I’m guessing that most men aren’t losing out. I’m being honest. I don’t think most men are losing out. Now, on top of that movement, there is supposedly, and this is one that, I mean, the Internet can run amok at times, but this would not surprise me. But there’s also talk that the Internet searches for aqua which is a potent poison that was created in Sicily around 1630 by a woman with the last name of Tofana that has historically been used to poison men. Now, supposedly internet searches for Aqua Tofana have gone up, Because certain women are looking at it, trying to figure out, I guess, I hate to say this, but how you can just eliminate men. Yeah. I again, I and I would play some of these things that are on Twitter, but I can’t. The language in them, these women are so angry and vile in some cases, it’s not fit. I can’t play it. It would be again. It’s against the law for us to play these things. So I wish I could play some of these for you, but I can’t. And some of these you can go look at yourself. And this particular article is in our show notes. You’ll be able to go look at it on your own. But these are just these women are mad. I mean, mad to the point of doing vile, heinous things that honestly is wrong. Completely wrong. You know, you you need to accept the results of what’s happened. Like, by the way, our side has done on numerous occasions. We did it with Obama twice. We did it with Clinton twice. We’ve done it with Biden once. And we just now have Trump back. And, folks, ladies, if I can call you that, the United States of America spoke. And if you look at the map, by the way, this is something I didn’t talk about even last week, but if you look at the overall United States map on the majority of red counties won by Donald Trump, I get it. Some counties are heavily populated. Some along our front range. Some in New York. Some in places in Texas, Houston, for example. California. But if you look at the map in general, minus those heavily populated areas, it’s red. I mean, like, red, red. Everywhere red. So these are delusional women. I hate to say this. I don’t know what else to call them. They’re delusional in that they think that the majority of people think like them. The problem is the majority don’t think like them. And they feel like anybody that voted for Donald Trump is somehow now against them. And that’s not it at all. That’s not it at all. There’s a lot of women, by the way, that voted for Trump also. So it’s not that anybody’s against any segment of the population. No. What this election was about is calling back in sanity. Yeah, I just said it. Calling back insanity. I know a lot of people out there, especially folks on the left, don’t look at Trump as being, quote unquote, sane. But compared to, and he is, but compared to the other side, there’s no comparison. you look at the policies and the things that the left wants to institute, and has already started to institute, and by the way, day one, Donald Trump will reverse a lot of those things. The transgenderism in Title IX, for example, that we talked about earlier. But these women have absolutely lost their ever-loving mind. I mean, literally, they are completely unhinged. I have no other way to say it. Joe, go ahead.
SPEAKER 05 :
John, have you seen, and I just sent you a copy, the link to it, the woman… Who said she plans to buy a Glock and go out at night and shoot white men?
SPEAKER 16 :
I have seen that one as well, yes.
SPEAKER 05 :
I just sent you the comment. Only white men, Joe. Nobody else.
SPEAKER 16 :
Only white men. And only at night.
SPEAKER 05 :
Only at night, right. And your skin has to be very white. That’s right.
SPEAKER 16 :
So if you’re a white man at night, she’s going to shoot you.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right.
SPEAKER 16 :
Like Charlie just said in my ear, all you have to do is walk by, Joe.
SPEAKER 05 :
All you have to do is walk by. You don’t have to say anything to her. You don’t have to be wearing a Trump lapel pin, a MAGA hat.
SPEAKER 16 :
You just have to be white.
SPEAKER 05 :
Just have to be a white male, and that’s what she says she’s going to do. She’s going to buy a Glock and shoot white men.
SPEAKER 16 :
Again, I don’t know the law because I’m not an attorney, Joe, but would this not lead you into some trouble by just saying this?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah. You know, at a minimum, maybe you get a red flag under Colorado. Depending on your state, you could say that’s a red flag.
SPEAKER 16 :
Meaning she shouldn’t be able to get a gun at all, right? Or she shouldn’t be able to possess one, right?
SPEAKER 05 :
She shouldn’t be able to possess a gun. But you’re right. There’s so many women out there, you know, and you’re right, John. I’ve seen some of these women there, TikTok, you know, no more sex. God, who would want to? I mean… Some of these women have little red dots on them where guys have been touching them with 10-foot poles. That’s about how close they want to get to them, John.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah, and I was trying to be kind earlier, Joe, and I’m not trying to be a jerk about things, but some of these women and some of the way that they’re acting and some of the things that they’re trying to accomplish, I’m sorry to say, they’re not very marketable in the first place is maybe a kind way for me to say that.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s a very kind way to say it, John. Not very marketable.
SPEAKER 16 :
I mean, and they’re not helping their marketability by what they’re doing. In fact, Joe, maybe they just don’t want to be marketable. Maybe that’s the problem. Which, by the way, Joe, here’s how I look at that. We live in a country where you’re free to do whatever you want to do as long as you’re not harming someone else, like this lady threatening to shoot people. I mean, yeah, that is over the line. You cannot do those sorts of things. But if you want to be unmarketable and be arranging you-know-what against men, I guess, Joe, so be it.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, that’s your prerogative. Right. On a slightly different note… Really quick, though, Joe.
SPEAKER 16 :
Hang on. Let me finish. And by the way, we celebrate and would encourage them to do that because we feel like that’s the freedom of speech and the freedom to live life the way you want to. We as conservatives would protect that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, what’s the… In your intro to the show, you have the right to be stupid.
SPEAKER 16 :
You have the right to be stupid. That’s right.
SPEAKER 05 :
You have the right to be stupid. But on a slightly – kind of a related but slightly different approach to their rage, did you see the 2,000 percent increase in the people of looking to move out of the U.S.?
SPEAKER 16 :
I did. I had that in the article earlier. I just haven’t had a chance to get to it yet. But, Joe, I mean, I was going to kind of talk about that with Kurt if he came on because it’s like, okay, people, if you really want to move that bad, move then. What are you waiting for?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah. Go for it. The financial markets were open today. Oh, they were? Yeah. Yeah, banks and finance. There was no mail, but the stock market was open.
SPEAKER 16 :
Okay, so you know what? I’m sorry, I didn’t look any of that up to see. I just assumed when Kurt wasn’t able to talk to us, he had something going on that way.
SPEAKER 05 :
But anyway, there have been 25,000, this is New Zealand alone, 25,000 new users since November 7th, compared to only 1,500 same day last year. So they went from $1,500 a day to $25,000 a day. And then Canada and Australia. John, here’s something strange I noticed. All these people looking to move out of the U.S., they’re only searching companies that are predominantly white Caucasian countries. Nobody’s looking to move to Mexico or Honduras or Guatemala or Somalia.
SPEAKER 16 :
Right, right. I did see something, and by the way, I did look. It was a federal holiday today, so no, the banks weren’t open today, Joe.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay. Geez, I could have sworn my bank was open, but I know the stock market was open.
SPEAKER 16 :
Federal Reserve Bank, Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, blah, blah, blah. We’ll be close today.
SPEAKER 05 :
Okay, but financial markets, the stock exchange, I know the stock exchange was open.
SPEAKER 16 :
Stock exchange might have been, but the banks, that’s probably why. With Kurt on the mortgage side and all of that, he can’t do anything with underwriters and so on is probably why. Really quick, though, Joe, your other comment. Go ahead. Sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, just about all these people that are looking to leave the U.S. By the way, most of these countries, and I’ve traveled to them, they won’t let you in unless you have a year’s worth of… Canada actually issued a statement.
SPEAKER 16 :
I saw their, whatever their person is that’s in charge of that, I saw a speech that she gave here over the weekend, Joe, basically saying, while we welcome immigration, we have a very fine immigration plan in Canada, we have a merit-based system, we welcome immigrants, but you have to do it correctly. In other words, just don’t show up at the border.
SPEAKER 05 :
Right. You have to, number one, you have to have a marketable job skill. You have to show that you have at least one year’s worth of cash reserve to live on. And, you know, so if you just say, well, I’m an American, I want to move in. No, it doesn’t work that way.
SPEAKER 16 :
It ain’t going to happen that way. That’s right.
SPEAKER 05 :
It doesn’t. Same thing, I’ve been to Australia. By the way, Australia wouldn’t even let me come in for business unless I had a round-trip ticket.
SPEAKER 16 :
There are a lot of countries, by the way, Joe, that do that, even some to our south.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes, some to ourselves. Amazingly enough. And New Zealand is just like Australia, by the way. You have to apply to their process, you know, through their process. And part of that process is, you know, is what is your marketable job skill and what are your proof of financial funds to support yourself for a year between entering. You know, so say you’re a dental hygienist or, you know, whatever, you know, or a watchmaker. you still have to show that you have proof of one year’s worth of living expenses before you move in. Clean criminal record. And by the way, in Canada, do you know that if you have a DUI, you can’t get into Canada even as a tourist?
SPEAKER 16 :
I did not know that, no.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, because I actually had occasion ago when I was looking. If you have any sort of misdemeanor, if you have a DUI in the last 10 years, you cannot enter Canada even as a tourist. Wow.
SPEAKER 16 :
I did not know that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 16 :
Interesting. Okay. Well, not that that would apply to me, but that’s interesting. I didn’t know they did that.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, no, Canada is extremely strict in terms of who they’ll let in.
SPEAKER 16 :
And by the way, good for them. I’m not opposed to that, Joe. We should do the same thing here.
SPEAKER 1 :
Yep.
SPEAKER 16 :
Which I hope, and again, lots of things I hope Donald Trump does right out of the gate, but I really hope he puts in, if we end up with the House and we have the Senate, I really hope in the first year he puts in some solid immigration merit-based reform.
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, and even going even simpler, John, are you familiar with the first safe country rule of treaty that the U.S. is a signatory to?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 05 :
Which means, so say you’re fleeing Honduras or Guatemala. If you make it to Mexico, that’s your country of first safe haven. Right. Unless you have applied for and been rejected for asylum in Mexico under the Treaty of the U.S. of Signature, you can’t continue on to the United States.
SPEAKER 16 :
You stay there.
SPEAKER 05 :
You’ve got to stay there.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s right.
SPEAKER 05 :
Now, if you applied to Mexico and they rejected your request, then you can continue on. But, John, I guarantee you that 99 percent of the people coming over the border from Mexico – and, by the way, do you realize Mexico – citizens of Mexico are now in the minority of the people coming to this country?
SPEAKER 16 :
Yep. Absolutely. I knew that, too.
SPEAKER 05 :
But they’re coming through Mexico. Yep. So you’ve got these Chinese nationals, people from Somalia, Libya, Honduras, Guatemala, Venezuela. Under our existing law, if they haven’t applied for asylum in Mexico, which is their first safe haven country, then they’re not eligible to apply here. for asylum in this country. So if I was an immigration judge, I would say, show me proof where you applied. Well, I never did. Well, sorry.
SPEAKER 16 :
Sorry, you’re going home.
SPEAKER 05 :
Sorry, you’re going home.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yep, absolutely.
SPEAKER 05 :
So if we did that, John, three-quarters of the people who are currently here, they call it on parole. They call it on parole, waiting a hearing. don’t even qualify for parole.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yep. Yep. All right. Joe, as always, appreciate you, man. Have a good rest of your day. And yes, the markets were open today, but the banks were not. Golden Eagle Financial, speaking of all of that, yes, Al Smith wants to help you with your financial future. Give Al a call. He’ll be there tomorrow, by the way. klzradio.com is where you find him.

SPEAKER 06 :
Now, back to Rush to Reason, presented by Hi-5 Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560, rolling in through the last half hour of the program. We’ve got a special guest joining us here in one moment. Before that, though, and I’ll probably talk a little bit more about this tomorrow with Andy on Barron Trump and the influence that this 18-year-old, which he’s not that old, but the influence that he had on his dad when it came to certain things that probably helped get his dad elected. things like the gamer world and some of the people that are in it and the influence that Donald Trump could basically have along those lines and so on. It’s actually a bigger deal than what most would think. And I didn’t know this, but some of this stuff has come out afterwards, the huge influence that he had, he, Barron, had in some of that. So, Alfredo, what’s going on today, sir? Hey, John, how’s it going? I’m good. I appreciate you joining us, Alfredo Ortiz. Talk to us about the Hispanic vote. You are an expert in this particular area. You are the JCN’s Hispanic Vote Coalition. You’re the guy under here that understands way more about this than I do, although I think I have a certain amount of understanding here as well. And you’re actually CEO of Job Creators Network. Talk to us about the Hispanic vote. And I think a lot of people, Alfredo, were surprised by the male Hispanic vote for Donald Trump.
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, it was kind of funny because at the beginning of the year, I started saying that we felt Donald Trump could get 48% with the messaging that we had in play. And it looks like he got about 46 percent, according to an NBC extra poll. You’re pretty close, then. So I was pretty close. I was two points off, but I’ll take that. No, that’s a win. I call that a win all day long. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. You know, and I have to tell you, the Democrats really, first of all, Donald Trump had the right messaging all along with Hispanics. He understood that Hispanics, surprise, surprise, are like every other voter in this country in the sense that they were hurting from this economy, from the misery.
SPEAKER 16 :
You mean they want to make more money at the end of the day?
SPEAKER 04 :
They want to make more money. They want to be able to buy groceries. They want to be able to actually live from one paycheck to the other paycheck. And it just was impossible under this administration. Yeah, I mean, look, we all know the gas prices, the grocery prices, insurance. I mean, everything was up. And then Hispanic small business, by the way, had a wonderful time under Trump. Home ownership for Hispanics, for example, was great. But under Biden, all this changed.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yep, sure did. No, Alfredo, number one, I have several friends that are Hispanic. I’ve got family members that are, and then I’ve got some clients of mine that are also Hispanic that I coach that are also very good friends. We’ve had some of these same conversations even leading up into, you know, up into the election itself, and they… By the way, like a lot of other voters, white males like myself, by the way, I think not only were they forgotten, but they were pushed away like we didn’t matter.
SPEAKER 04 :
A hundred percent. And or even worse, that the only thing that mattered to them, Hispanic voters, was an open border. Yeah, there you go. I mean, that was it.
SPEAKER 16 :
Which, by the way, and again, I want you to talk about that, Alfredo, because the folks that I know, nothing could be farther from the truth.
SPEAKER 04 :
Absolutely. I mean, this is where they completely got wrong. I have to tell you, they really gave the Republican Party, Donald Trump, a gift on this one. And by the way, abortion as well, targeting Hispanic men. But let’s talk about the border thing. Look, the open border policy was a disaster for the Hispanic community, right? And they wanted somebody to come in there that focused not necessarily on the broken process that immigration is. But on the poorest border, right, we had – because guess what happens to that poorest border? The criminality that comes in there, whether it’s gun trafficking, human trafficking, drug trafficking, right, that was landing in their communities, in their schools, in their storefronts, in their parks, right? And that was destroying their communities. They wanted that to stop.
SPEAKER 16 :
Really quick, I want to jump in because I think the other thing – Really quick, the other thing I think it does, because this is what I heard from some of the folks that I know directly, Alfred, I want to get your opinion on this, is – Much like white supremacy gives me a bad name because I’m not one of those guys and nor do I want to be associated with them. And I get sometimes that same label because, you know, we’re quote unquote Trump supporters and I’m a white male, so I must be one of them. I think in a way that open, porous border and the criminality that comes with it also gives a lot of really great, solid Hispanic individuals a bad name as well. Am I right or wrong?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, absolutely. And it’s a real shame. Right. And so I was so glad that, you know, Donald Trump was very specific in terms of, you know, even the order in which the deportation is going to happen. He wants to focus on the true criminals, the worst criminals. Right. The heinous crimes committed by those illegals. Right. That’s what we need to focus on. And that’s what he’s doing. And I think the Hispanic community would love to hear that because. Look, those were the ones that were terrorizing, truly terrorizing their communities. Again, look in Colorado. We know the examples that happened in Colorado. We’ve all seen it on TV. That was happening in many other places as well. That’s right.
SPEAKER 16 :
Well, the other thing, too, and again, something that I know kind of because I know you have friends, family, certain individuals along these lines that. We, as a country, tend to lump all Hispanics into one group. But the reality, Alfredo, that you know as well as I, it’s not one group. Just like I, as a Coloradan, am not the same as a liberal Californian like I’m not. a southern individual i mean you get where i’m coming from in other words we’ve got folks coming across the border that yes come from mexico some also come from colombia come some come from venezuela you get where i’m going with this and the reality is we tend to lump all of them into one but the reality is that’s not the way it works
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, no, absolutely. And look, I mean, coming through the poorest border, it wasn’t even just folks from, you know, what I would call kind of the southern part of the globe. They were coming from China, from Russia, Ukraine. It was ridiculous, right? I mean, so all that was impacting them. And by the way, that labor, it was labor, right? That was coming, cheaper labor that was coming in through the southern border. That does depress wages, right? Because it’s supply and demand. It’s a very easy…
SPEAKER 01 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 04 :
You know, very easy formula. Good point. And so, look, everybody who is here and Hispanics who did it right, they didn’t like that. And by the way, they also saw, for example, in New York, that they were getting, like, debit cards with money. I mean, when they were getting help.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s a slap in the face to everybody else that came here.
SPEAKER 04 :
Exactly. Exactly. Or the people like our veterans, for example. Right. That weren’t getting the support. I mean, they weren’t staying in hotels. They weren’t getting debit cards. They’re out on the streets. People saw that and they said, you know what? Enough is enough.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yeah. You know, by the way, what you just brought up, I kind of had I talked about it on air, but I kind of forgot about that as we were going into the kind of the last little blurb into the election. I forgot about some of those things, Alfredo. Evidently, others didn’t because a lot of people came out and voted heavily. I just talked a moment ago before you came on that if you look at the map of the U.S. and you look at the majority of red voters, that’s on there, all of the different counties, outside of some of the heavy populated, you know, blue areas, that map is pretty darn red, meaning that the majority of Americans feel the same way.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, absolutely. Look, down in Florida, there’s a reason why Miami-Dade County, Miami-Dade County, which has always been voted blue, always voted blue, went red. There’s a reason for that, right? Again, I think it’s just people had enough. And look, the other thing primarily was this economy. Yes. I mean, people were not able to make their paychecks last from one to the other. That’s right. And so they were suffering. They were going in what used to be $100, buying four or five bags of groceries, and they were walking in with two bags.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s right. Half as much. Absolutely. And as you know… Alfredo, the reality, and I said this last week, the thing that Donald Trump will do right off the bat to try to get some of that stuff taken care of is you get our energy prices down, you get gas prices down, you get some of the core things that build into those inflation numbers. And by the way, some of what you and I are talking about come down. The reality, though, Alfredo, is… I strongly feel that side of the equation, the left, that party, they don’t live in reality, Alfredo. The rest of us do, and they don’t. They don’t understand what you just said about how many grocery bags you’re coming home with.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, they don’t at all. It’s the coastal elites, the D.C. elites. They don’t get it, all these Hollywood folks. And we’re like, we just don’t understand what people are talking about. I don’t understand. Well, yeah, because you’re making $100 million a year, but the average Joe is making $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 a year.
SPEAKER 16 :
Alfredo, I’ve read stories on even if you’re making $100,000 a year, it’s still hard to make ends meet because of what’s not left over at the end of the day because of everything you’re talking about.
SPEAKER 04 :
yeah no absolutely absolutely look and donald trump knows day one i can guarantee you’re going to see this complete reversal of that keystone xl pipeline cancellation yep and the attack on domestic energy production and that’s the right place to start agree because that’s where it actually all started to fall apart for the united states and our economy was when President Biden did that, it literally sent ripple effects to the entire U.S.
SPEAKER 16 :
and global oil production. You’re exactly right. No, I’ve said on this program, we’ve said it many, many times here, that because of those policies, what it did to the price of oil, that’s the reason why we have a Ukraine-Russia war, because that alone helped fund Russia to do what they did. Absolutely. Absolutely. And by the way, people think about just oil something.
SPEAKER 04 :
Oh, well, it’s not like in the price of gas. Everything takes energy. Everything is driven through some kind of oil usage. And so when that goes up in the way it did and it’s really curtailed the way it was. It was going to drive – it was bound to drive prices of every single thing of our lives up.
SPEAKER 16 :
That’s right. You’re exactly right. Talk to me before I let you go. I know we skipped over the abortion sides of things because, again, I know a lot of those individuals that are in that particular – and by the way, Alfredo, I hate using this camp, that camp. I mean, to me, I look at all these people that I know as being just like me. I hate the fact that we have to put these labels on Americans. I get it. There is a quote unquote Hispanic vote. But I look at them just the same way I do me and my own family. All of these things affect us equally. Abortion as well. But when we talk about the Hispanic voter, how did abortion affect them?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, look, I mean Hispanics care about the three things we just talked about, faith, family, and entrepreneurship. Those are really the three big factors in the Hispanic community, right? And so when you have the Democrats targeting abortion, for example, they had in Arizona abortion ads in Spanish targeting men. When you have a community that focuses on faith and the family, that is so inconsistent with the values. And look, at the end, they all voted their values, and that’s where we saw the massive surge. But let me make this one point, is that we have to build on this success. The Republican Party must build on this success. They can’t just walk away and come back to them in two years or in four years.
SPEAKER 16 :
Every single day they have to be in that community. Amen. You know what, Alfredo? Well, you’ve got to do, in my opinion, What I just said a moment ago, let’s stop with this whole labeling of things. We’re all in this together. We’re all Americans. People are struggling. They’re trying to figure out how to pay for things, how to raise their kids, how to have a family, how to start a family, how to buy a home, maybe for the first time, how to start that business, Alfredo. The reality is we’re all in this together. Quit labeling these people and lift them all up.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, that’s absolutely right. And look, I mean, you know, I actually wrote an op-ed even on the Small Business Administration. We should disband that. Why isn’t it in D.C., for example? Can you imagine a small business guy from, you know, Aurora, Colorado going, hey, I’m going to fly out to Washington, D.C., walk through the building, you know, the doors of the SBA and ask for some advice. It just doesn’t happen. Shut it down, $150 million building, put that into some entrepreneurship fund and throw that over to the regional centers and make those entrepreneurship centers so we can actually teach entrepreneurs
SPEAKER 16 :
small business owners how to do better at small businesses alfredo you took the words out of my mouth i coach small businesses i’ve actually got a call on my way home tonight with a lady that’s getting ready to start a small business i’m going to go through the very things that you’re talking about right now and you are a thousand percent correct as a small business owner myself i’ve done this for four decades now the small business administration while they do some good things it is a It is a, how should I say this, a vast sea of red tape that at the end of the day, really, Alfredo, you could do what you just said a moment ago much better.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, absolutely. Look, I remember this one passage in the Bible, or one thought, which is teach the fisherman how to fish, right? I mean, that’s what you need to do. 20% of small businesses fail in that first year. Imagine if we could actually educate them. And by the way, the reason why they fail is because they don’t have a business plan going into it. They don’t understand how to create market demand. Imagine if we dropped that from 20% failure rate down to 10%. We would create millions of more jobs for small businesses.
SPEAKER 16 :
We would. As you know, Me and others like me, we are the backbone of the job creators in this country. Yeah, big business does a lot, and I’m not taking anything away from them, Alfredo. But at the end of the day, we, besides government, by the way, but we as small business owners, we provide the most jobs in this country.
SPEAKER 04 :
Two-thirds of new job growth is in the hands of small business owners.
SPEAKER 16 :
Yep. Alfredo, as you can tell, we speak the same language. I appreciate what you’re doing. Thank you. Like you said a moment ago, we’ve got to keep this up, keep the momentum going. We cannot stop. We cannot let our foot off the pedal.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, absolutely. Thank you so much. Thanks for having me.
SPEAKER 16 :
You’re very welcome, Alfredo. Appreciate you very much. And again, he is CEO of Job Creators Network.

Flesh Law, if you’ve had any accidents lately, you need some help with that representation from or just want to talk to an attorney to get an idea of what you need to do next, that’s Kevin Flesh, 303-806-8886.
SPEAKER 14 :
Here’s why you need personal injury attorney Kevin Flesch on your side. He understands the way the jury thinks. In the context of a personal injury case, you’ve been hurt by someone else’s negligence. The idea is that you’re going to try to recover so that you can get back to where you were just prior to that incident occurring. What that really means from a jurist’s perspective is that you’re going to be asking them to award you money. So when we talk about fairness, we’re talking about six people that you don’t know. Those six people view the evidence and make a unanimous decision that will decide what the fair value is. When you’re the one who’s hurt, you have a good idea of what you think it’s worth. The question is, can you persuade those other individuals whom you don’t know and were witnesses to believe that’s what the case is worth? Kevin Flesch understands the way the jury thinks. Call now for a free consultation, 303-806-8886.

This isn’t Rage Radio. This is Real Relatable Radio. Back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 16 :
All right, and on days like today, veterans day typically some things will slip into the news that they know everybody may not be following closely so charlie pointed this out because i didn’t even pick this one up and i read the news pretty much every day all over and yes i occasionally will even browse through usa today which is where this article came from charlie just gave me this through the last break there’s an article there Today, came out at 1.19 p.m. Eastern Time, Harris’ fundraising page says a portion of donations will be directed to a recount effort. Now, will she actually fire one off or whatever? I have no idea. Remember that she’s already, her campaign, which these could be two different purses, I get that, but her campaign’s $20 million in debt. Donald Trump even threw something out. We talked about this last Friday that y’all pay that debt. I mean, is he trolling? Is that real? I don’t know. She went through a billion dollars, folks. A B. In 100 days. That was all her campaign was. One billion in 100 days. There is talk out there that she spent like $50 million in payroll in that amount of time. Donald Trump spent like $20 the entire time. Those are huge differences in numbers, by the way, folks. Huge. All of the singers, the performers, they all got paid. They didn’t just show up. Beyonce didn’t just show up. She got paid. Who was the other one that was shaking her butt all over the stage? Charlie, the one? Cardi B. And there was another one on top of that. I mean, all of them. They all got a paycheck. Every one of those performers got a huge paycheck. In fact… Oh, yeah, that was the one I was thinking of, Charlie. Megan the Stallion, thank you. The Stallion. Anyways, a billion dollars in 100 days. They must have been handing out cash like it was candy. Like some of you breathe. I’m not exaggerating. That’s a lot of money to go through in 100 days. That’s 1,000 millions that they rolled right through, and they’re 20 short of So there was some things that came out over the weekend where people were talking about how their goal was to spend that to zero, and then there’s some people that followed it up with, I guess they didn’t know where zero was because they went $20 million past that. So what will happen with this particular fundraising page? Will there actually be a recall effort? Let me just say this. If there is, or sorry, not a recall, but a recount effort, If there is, that won’t bode well on their side. I’m sorry. That would be a dumb move on their part. Some of you out there that are on the left are thinking, oh, that’s a great idea. No, it’s not. That’s sort of like, that would be like RJ6. Not worth going down that path. You’re better off to just leave it alone, figure out what you need to do these next four years to regroup, hopefully have a different message and a focus, and come back out in, you know, 2027, raring to go. Actually, probably the end of 2026, that’s typically how things work. Just really, if you think about it, it’s not that far down the road. It’s, you know… Three years, roughly, not even that long, two and a half, before you really start working on what your messaging needs to be and campaigning and so on. And they have a big election here in 2026 as well. So it’s not like you don’t have things to do. So concentrate on your reset and what you’re going to do to compete with the other side in the meantime. But doing a recount, I… Maybe that’s just a way, Charlie, to raise more money, potentially. Maybe that’s why they put that on there. They’re trying to dig out of this $20 million hole when it’s all said and done. I don’t know. All I know is to roll through a billion dollars in a campaign. For those of you on the other side, that means she far outspent Donald Trump. Far outspent Donald Trump. Meaning that still isn’t what the country wanted. Yeah. Thank you, Charlie. Plus all the PACs. I don’t know what the total amount is. It’s huge because all the PACs throw a bunch of money into it as well. You don’t even know what those numbers are. So reality is tons. Could it be a couple billion dollars when it’s all said and done? We have no idea. But the reality is it’s a huge number. Far outspent Donald Trump, which shows you that money doesn’t always win. And in this particular case, those of you that are on the left, I’m sorry. The majority of Americans don’t want your stuff. They don’t want your policies. They don’t want your way of life. They said that loud and clear last week against a candidate that Andy and I talk about all the time is not their favorite. And the polls show that, but they still voted for him, meaning they liked him more than you. I’ll leave it at that. We’ll come right back. Veteran Windows and Doors, 35% off is the starting discount right now with Dave. We heard from him at 3 o’clock. Give him a call today. Find him at klzradio.com.

Dave has an app where he can show you the exact door the other company showed you, but Dave will also include the correct efficiency ratings and codes necessary for your home. The other companies’ doors often don’t meet code, energy-efficient ratings, or give you crucial tax credits on your products.

They do more flashing, sealing, and installation than is required to ensure your windows and doors are going to work the way they’re supposed to. And Veteran now offers financing. Get 40% off and free installation when working with Veteran windows and doors by going to klzradio.com.

SPEAKER 16 :
All right, I’m guessing as we close things out that at some point somebody will add up all of the money that will have been dispersed out, come into the packs and so on, because that still has to be reported to the FEC. So my gut feeling is at some point we’ll get a chance to interview somebody that will have a tally of all of the open the books. Somebody along those lines will probably have a tally on that. We’ll get that down the road here in the not too distant future. But guys, have a great night. Andy and I will be back tomorrow. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560.
