SPEAKER 09 :
And you, thanks for making AM and FM. AM 560, FM 100.7, KLZ AM HD Denver. This is KLZ Denver, a Crawford Broadcasting Station.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, yeah. Yeah. What’s up? What’s up? What’s up? You tuned in to 560 KLZ. KLZ. I’m a Uniter. I’m a Uniter. I’m your host, Reggie Rocco. Yeah. Yeah. KLZ. Yeah. Yeah. So right about now, we want everybody, I mean everybody, stand up. Stand up. Hold your hands up high. Lock arms. This is about America, baby. Yeah. We bringing people together. I’m a Uniter.
SPEAKER 08 :
to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
SPEAKER 07 :
Woo! 560 KLZ’s Reggie Rocco, and of course, it’s with my boy, Lukey Luke. What’s up? Oh, what’s going on, Reg? Hey, man, look. So, we have to tell our audience. Let’s just tell them straight out. We had to pre-record the show because there’s a lot of big ballers here. You know, speaking of Lukey Luke, he’ll be in somewhere, I think, west on the west coast with beaches and all that. What city is that?
SPEAKER 05 :
I’m going to L.A. Going to L.A. Man. Man.
SPEAKER 07 :
By the time you’re hearing this, I’m already drinking a Mai Tai on the beach. Oh, my God. And guess what I’ll be doing? I’ll be suffering one more day before I start this dang 14. How did I? Why did I do this, man? I don’t know. Why did you do this? I’m always a big heart. And then it’s like, wow. So, you know, we’re doing the videos and stuff. Videos are coming out great. And I’m like, OK, so you guys go ahead and donate to the women’s shelter. You know, all that information’s on there. And I’m like, dang. 14 days. And see, I had the only person that really gave me real, real motivation besides just like the good of doing it is Luke. Luke said three days, $2. Three days, $2.
SPEAKER 05 :
Man. I was going to offer a crisp high five, but I figured two bucks gets you like a large soda at McDonald’s.
SPEAKER 07 :
Oh, man, I’m not letting him get a hat for that. I promise you that if God has me breathing, I don’t care if it’s the last. I’m going to be clocking. That’s the first thing I’m clock ticking down that. But no, it’s going to be fun. And everybody’s giving me advice. I was last night. I had a pre Thanksgiving dinner. From Evelyn Zur and her sister. Great, great, great people. I’m actually invited to go out to Florida with her sister and check out some stuff and their lifestyle. And they said there’s bears out there and there’s like gators and stuff. But mainly she just wants to get me out there so she can make me eat their healthy food. That’s what it is. I know that’s what it is. But don’t say Florida unless you got one. So yeah, I’m definitely going to do that. Uh, I think the political scene is just so active right now. You know, I’m watching my boy Trump real close and then they just said, call me. They just dismissed that charge with call me, but they did it without prejudice or with prejudice, whichever way that go. And so we’re going to have to refile so we can refile. So y’all don’t lose hope. We will be coming after call me. Uh, I think my boy is going to send a message probably, I think it’s going to be before Thanksgiving. Trump says, he sends different messages, man. He might say, you know, happy Thanksgiving, you know, with a tomahawk. You never know with him. But I want to take care of that. I hear the Venezuela thing is a little deeper than what we thought. China, Russia, everybody, they’re all getting that drug money and that oil. But yeah, we got to handle that. I believe… China and Russia is not going to do anything. They can’t do anything. That’s why all that firepower is out there. You know, come on, man, that’s overkill. You know, we’re not going to send, you know, aircraft carriers to knock out some speed boats. That’s just not going to happen. So, yeah, I think if we do hit before Thanksgiving, that’ll be good. Because that, you know, football be on, basketball, I’ll be into my fast. That’ll help me pass the time. I’m thinking I might get a hotel, Luke. You think so? I mean a motel, not a hotel. Something, you know, in the dark, something put off on the side so I can, you know, go through all this I’m about to go through. Because I know it’s going to be hard. You know, especially everybody saying, them first three, four days. And I know a little bit about the three, but man, no, no, no, no. 14 days is a different situation. And I also got about a scale because I know you have to be able to lose some weight, you know, during 14 days, at least something. Right. Wouldn’t you think?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah. I mean, you’re shedding, at the very least, a decent amount of weight just from not eating.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I would imagine so. So I’m going to go ahead and get on the scale. I’m going to send it to you because I know you’re a stickler. Hey, man, I want to see this, man. Man, I got to see this, man.
SPEAKER 05 :
You got to strap a GoPro to your forehead just to make sure you’re not sneaking little snacks every now and then. See Reggie 3 a.m. sleepwalking into his pantry to fish out a handful of cereal or something.
SPEAKER 07 :
I already told myself I’m not accepting anything from you. No pen, no paper, no notebook, nothing. Because it’s probably got a microchip. It’s something in there. I’m already tracking your phone. Yes. All six of them. So, look, man. What is up with the Russia… I mean, we talk about this all the time, and you’ve been pretty much right. I’ve been flip-flopping on this subject in reference. Oh, I like Putin. I hate him. I like him. But I’m at the point where I can’t take it anymore. Putin’s got on my nerve. And now they’re saying there’s some peace deal that Ukraine has accepted. I’m like, why are they dealing with Ukraine first? Wouldn’t you accept Ukraine? Go to Russia first and see if it’s okay with them first because that’s the big dog. That’s the one who won’t stop. But I don’t know. I hope that it comes to an end. But I still don’t know what the end game was. You lose a million and a half people, Russia, for that little bit of land?
SPEAKER 05 :
there something i’m missing yeah i don’t i don’t know talking about the peace deal though i think you’re looking at a lot of optics where you got to consider that if the peace deal goes to ukraine first and ukraine accepts if russia refuses to accept they’re the bad guy they’re the person who turned down the peace deal so it puts the burden on russia who is the aggressor right like russia has a more vested interest in an appearing better come the end of this, I think. Okay, so it’s a little okey-doke in there. Yeah, I think it’s about appearances. It’s about making sure you look good. Because like I said, you put that burden on Russia. If you go to Russia and ask for a peace deal with them first, and then the burden… goes to Ukraine, and Ukraine now has to be the person to either accept or deny. Ukraine’s the smaller nation, right? So you’re putting the heavier burden on the smaller. It feels more leverage-y than the other way around. So that’s kind of what I think they’re going. As for the reason why, you said yourself, you know, you don’t know, you know, going back and forth on Russia, Russia and all that fun stuff. I think a lot of people are. I think a lot of people get the whole, honestly, real controversial. This is going to catch me some flack. I can feel it. People go back and forth based off of whatever their guy says, based off whatever Trump says. If Trump says, Russia’s the bad guy now, everyone goes, Russia’s the bad guy now. And if Trump goes, actually, I’m friends with Russia, everyone goes, okay, we’re actually friends. I feel like not a lot of people are sticking to their guns. A lot of people are not sticking to their belief. They’re folding too heavily based off of the whims of Donald Trump, which isn’t Is it good? I think, personally, Russia’s never been our friend. Communists, they’re the aggressors. You can think whatever you’d like, but Russia’s an authoritarian state. And as a person who values freedom very highly, I don’t think you should ever ally yourself with a super authoritarian nation like that. That’s true. That’s kind of my stance on it, regardless of what your guy says.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, you’re absolutely right. And It’s hard to look at Putin for me and know that the KGB stuff and, you know, and then, you know, anybody that runs against them, you know, somehow they die. Somehow they’re poisoned or disappear. Everyone that’s his opponent. So, yeah, that’s a serious situation. But I hope that America are what we do. That’s really all I’m really thinking about, man, is, you know, we need to – We need to we really I like the idea of having the military in these neighborhoods and their their black neighborhoods, their Democrat cities. Yep, yep, yep. Because I know what it is. I tell people all the time, it’s not the white person that’s really your enemy at all. Like I can walk down. the neighborhood of a KKK and be safer than walking down Chicago neighborhood in the hood. And that is a fact. I mean, a fact. So you got to put that in perspective. But I just hope that, you know, we can clean it up, get these crazies up out of here and these laws that these liberals are doing. And it’s so much stuff. Luke, if you were president. What would you do in the say you were president of Ukraine? You know, you can’t beat them. But are you going to be taking somebody shelling you and doing all this stuff for four years and not and be told not to hit nothing inside of Russia?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, if I was in charge of Ukraine, honestly, I’d kind of do what they’re doing right now. I think the strategy, at the very least, is sound. It’s guerrilla warfare, it’s drones, it’s hiding out, ambushes, anything you can do to get as many Russians out. as you can while you’re in your territory and then at the same time politically I’d be leveraging uh sympathetic allies I’d be doing exactly what I’m doing right now I’d you know petition the United States for money and funds because you know you’re not going to get a whole lot of boots on the ground right no one’s going to send troops to deal with Russia but they’ll send you money so uh I think you leverage that as best you can I think like I said I think what Ukraine’s doing now is probably the best they can do given the circumstances
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, so what if the French or NATO, I don’t care, UK, whoever, gave them like a tomahawk or something equivalent to that that could hit Moscow? Would you go ahead and let them? Let me think about that. Would I let them go ahead? I give Luke a tomahawk. Just one. Would Luke send it to Russia and hit Moscow? Yes or no? After all that stuff they’re throwing on them, if you just had one, what would you do with it? What would I do with it?
SPEAKER 05 :
I’d probably hold it. I’d probably hold it and then threaten to use it against Moscow. I think it’s dangerous because Ukraine can’t afford to escalate because then Russia goes, oops, you got me, now I’m dropping nukes. I got one Tomahawk and it hits Moscow and then Moscow sends 500 nuclear warheads directly at me and wipes me off the map. It’s a dangerous game to play. Yeah, it’s very dangerous.
SPEAKER 07 :
But what if you knew that the war wasn’t going to end or he wasn’t going to stop? You just know nothing in sight. He just won’t stop. He’s a bully. He’s a tyrant. He just won’t stop. Then what?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I still don’t think I’d do it because that’s mutually assured destruction, you know? That’s like… At the very least, if you know he’s not going to stop, then you can bleed him for every inch of ground he’s trying to take. If he’s not going to stop, then he’s just going to keep feeding you soldiers you can keep killing, is how I see it. If you start dropping big bombs, well, then you don’t get a chance to kill any soldiers because you’re a shadow on the pavement because a nuke hit you.
SPEAKER 07 :
You know, one of the things, you know, I like, you know, we like the same energy type of thing. You know, and I think that’s a sound strategy, what you’re saying. And I can’t really disagree with it. Basically, you’re saying, hey, you know you’re gone if you do that.
SPEAKER 05 :
If you’re gone either way, then the strategy is to take as many people with you. And taking as many people with you means you’ve got to draw it out. You’ve got to bleed them real slow, you know. Yeah. Listen to this guy.
SPEAKER 07 :
Bleed them slow. That’s what you got to do. That’s war. Okay, so answer this question. Here’s what I never hear the Congress or anybody saying, news or nothing, media, anything. When we get one of these illegal killers, these ones that, you know, they’re all most of them all killers. But you grab one and you see what he’s done and who he’s killed and all that here and there. And then they just deport him. Does he go to jail? Does he just get a pass and just say, just get him out of our country and that’s it? Do we not? get justice for our American citizens that’s been killed or died?
SPEAKER 05 :
As far as I’m aware, if you deport someone, right, you send them away, then it’s on the country they have gone back to to deal with it. So if they don’t want to deal with it, it doesn’t get dealt with. So they’re free. The only difference is if the United States arrests them and then sends them back to their country through like… I think it’s like extraditing. I believe is the correct word. And you send them back that way, then they go from prison to prison. Right? And the justice is dealt with. But if you just deport them, then… Well, we’ve been arresting them and then letting them go.
SPEAKER 07 :
Back in there. So… I don’t know, man. I just think we should go ahead and use a bullet. I think that should always be something. And we’re going to go ahead and go to break. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody. This is 560 KLZ. I’m a Uniter. KLZ 560 AM, your home station.
SPEAKER 02 :
Freedom versus force, force versus freedom. Ultimately, these are the questions that we should ask when looking at policy decisions facing our communities, our state, and our country today. Kim Munson here. Join me every weekday morning, 6 to 7 a.m., as we look at important issues and how they affect you and your life. Encore broadcasts air from 10 to 11 p.m. every weeknight. Tune in to the conversation with The Kim Munson Show right here on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 04 :

Bonus interviews, behind-the-wheel stories, and the best of car talk. That’s Drive Radio, The Extra Mile, because some roads deserve one more lap. That’s Saturdays from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. right here on KLZ 560.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, 560 KLZ, I’m a uniter, ter, ter, Reggie Rocko Luke. Like we said, this is pre-recorded because there’s all these big ballers enjoying Thanksgiving and I’m going to enjoy Thanksgiving Day and probably one day after. What I don’t want to do is fill up so much on food because I think it’ll be more painful. And then some of my friends, now here’s how stupid some of my friends are. And I can tell you this because these are things that I’ve never done. Oh, man, you can do it, man. Just smoke some weed. I’m like, dude, number one, I’ve never, ever smoked weed. And two, all of y’all fools I see smoking weed, as soon as you do it, all you got is the munchies. That’s it. Munchies, munchies, munchies. Like, so how is that going to help me, dummy? Like, next. Oh, well, man, just grab some beers, man, and drink, man, and just be messed up, man, and just ride it out. My God, when y’all fools drink, what do you do? Eat. Eat. Even when you drink till you throw up. Third thing you get up, you got the munchies. No, I can’t do that. I will not do that. So I’m waiting for somebody to give me some real good advice on how to hang in there these first three, four days. And then it’s not going to be easy just because the worst of it’s the first three or four days. Then you got and you got 10, 11 days. No, that’s going to be rough, man. That’s going to be really rough for me. But I think I’m going to go ahead and get that motel somewhere off in the dark. Electricity barely works. You know, the dimly lit room. Lock on, gotta lock, you know, and just… Just try and ride the wave? Just try to, I’m gonna try to sleep it, man. I’m gonna play, probably PlayStation, and then I’m gonna try to sleep it out. I think I can do it. I think I can do it. But that nice little talk I had last night and up and had nice food and everything. Man, I was about to say, hey man, ship Luke his hat. I’m not leaving here. I’m going to chill here for the next two weeks. And Luke, so how is this going to work? So you’re gone that week, you know, and then the very next week, I got to come in here and we got to do a show. Was that the two weeks or is that just one week? That’s one week. That’s just one week? That’s one.
SPEAKER 05 :
If you’re doing 14 days, two days after Thanksgiving, then I’ll have you for two shows before your fast is over.
SPEAKER 07 :
My God. Amen. None of your tricks. I don’t want to see pizza, tacos, especially no chicken and watermelon. I’m just telling you.
SPEAKER 05 :
Give me the address to your hotel and I’ll sit with a steaming pie on the windowsill so you can lift off the ground like an old cartoon character. Teach Reggie to levitate with some nice pie.
SPEAKER 07 :
Hey, man, you’re the type of person, I’ll come in here to the studio, I’ll come in here and I’m ready to record, and Luke got a whole nice dinner set up, a nice breakfast brunch. Oh, man. Oh, my God. You’re funny, dude. But, yeah, I’m preparing for you. I’m preparing for you. You should. You should. I’m dangerous. Yes, you’re very dangerous. And I think that… If me, if you and I were in politics, man, I’m telling you, we were in politics together in a position somewhere, anywhere in there doing stuff, a lot of stuff would get done. And I think a lot of people will respect this because we just like we ain’t got time for the BS, man. Like. No BS. Tell me, Luke, I need to hear the doom and gloom. Is it real or not? When it comes to like Jasmine Crockett and AOC, they break the law all the time and you hear all this stuff that they do and you’re supposed to be trying to indict them or do something. And then, you know, you got AOC, I think I might run for president. And then Jasmine, you know, oh, I think I’m going to run for senator. Oh, her position has been, you know, what is it, gerrymandered or whatever they call it. And She’s talking about now she’s running for senator. Do these people not get arrested? Do they not get held accountable for their crimes and the things that they do? Or does crime really pay?
SPEAKER 05 :
Well, first of all, you’re talking about Congress and Senate. That all pays. Find a senator. Find a congressman. They make $175,000 a year each. And each one of them is worth over $10 million. How does that happen? How? On a salary of $175,000. First of all, that’s not to mention that $175,000 is too much. They’re getting paid way too much money to be our representatives. If they’re supposed to be representing us, then they should get paid, in my opinion, the median income, excluding outliers. If you’re representing the average American, then you should be making the average American salary. Which, again, if you exclude people like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, exclude the billionaires, average salary is like $50,000 a year.
SPEAKER 07 :
So how they leave in four years or however long, most of them stay in there a long time, but even 10 years, how do you get $10 million, $50 million, $20 million? $100 million. $100 million.
SPEAKER 05 :
They’re all crooks. Every single one of them are crooks. It’s all insider trading. It’s all stock markets. It’s all backroom deals. If you’re in Congress, if you’re a senator and you’re still alive and you haven’t been killed yet, it’s because you’re part of the problem, I think. It’s, you know, if… If you were really trying to really shake things up, they’d bury you. And you see it a lot, too. There are some people who are really trying to do well, and they get buried. They get slammed. They’re thrown under the bus at every opportunity. You see it every now and then.
SPEAKER 07 :
What do they call the people that – I forget the name, but – Lobbyists. That’s what they are. So you got all these lobbyists that are these big companies have millions of dollars and they want the law. They want you to bend the rules in their favor.
SPEAKER 05 :
And they’re allowed to do it.
SPEAKER 07 :
And they’re allowed to do it. Shouldn’t be, but they’re allowed. They can actually say, Jasmine Crockett, I paid for a trip for you to go to Hawaii with your family and chill out and blah, blah, and think about this and blah, blah, blah. That’s legal? Yeah. Yeah. we’re in the wrong business dude yeah i think it’s it’s gross it’s it’s completely gross like what what it seems like the only people that get messed around is the people who are actually the citizens like we voted you in to represent us but you’re not representing us you’re representing you no it’s it’s it’s rules for thee not for me we’ve in my opinion i’ve said this before
SPEAKER 05 :
we’ve, like, recreated a monarchy, in essence. You get these senators, these congressmen, these people in power who are almost untouchable. They can do kind of whatever they want, and they don’t go to jail. They can insider trade. They don’t go to jail. You know, huge money. I mean, we were talking about it on Rush to Resia the other day. If you’re a congressperson, you know, congressman, congresswoman, if you put in five years, lifetime retirement, Five years of work and you get lifetime health insurance coverage, right? You get full pension for five years. Everyone else, you and me, we got to work till we’re 72. And that’s if you work a job that offers a 401k or a pension or anything like that, right? It’s a monarchy. It’s a noble ruling class that is exempt from the rules, that don’t have to participate in regular society like everyone else, that get their own special treatment. Huge money. Again, $175,000 a year average salary. I believe that’s starting salary, too, which is astronomical. Is it tax-free? I mean, it’s paid by taxpayers. Our tax dollars pay them. So the money that comes out of my paycheck, that comes out of your paycheck, goes to give someone else $175,000 a year. They get to drive a nice Porsche and take a private plane and a helicopter. Stay at the Ritz-Carlton. Stay at the Ritz-Carlton, and you’re on food stamps. And just know that any time you buy a soda and you see that $0.10 coming out of tax, it’s so they can afford to fill up the tank of their Porsche.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, man, this is horrible, dude.
SPEAKER 05 :
That’s crazy. That’s a ruling class, dude. That’s nobility, if I’ve ever seen it. Well, why can’t we do something about that? Because the people who are in charge are the ones responsible for making the laws to change it. If you are a congressperson making $175,000 a year, after five years you get lifetime retirement, you get a pension plan that you can draw from after you’re 62, you get lifetime medical insurance, you get all these nice things. Why would you ever vote to not have that? As a matter of fact, you’re probably going to vote to give yourself more, which they have done. Congress, Senate, they’ve passed stuff to increase their own pay, their own salary.
SPEAKER 07 :
So let me ask you this then. Perfect example. You got Obama, Obamacare. Now, everybody hates this, the Republicans. It wasn’t what it’s supposed to be, and it’s just a big mess, expensive, the whole nine. But what I didn’t believe, and I still don’t understand how this is possible, is that they said that Obama— gets like two or three million dollars off of this a year or something like like he it’s his intellectual property I don’t know don’t even quote me but I heard that he gets royalties on Obamacare how is that we pay him as a president or whatever and whatever they come up with now that he’s already paid for that so how is he collecting royalties if this is true on that
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I don’t know. But I mean, I wouldn’t be surprised if every president does it, right? You think Trump as a businessman isn’t doing the same thing? You know, the guy who knows intellectual property and knows business. I think every president’s done it and will continue to do it. Well, I can tell you this.
SPEAKER 07 :
There’s one thing I do. Everybody knows I, Trump is a dumb dude, period. But I respect him because in the ways that I respect him, they’re different than other politicians. Okay. He’s rich as heck, but he donates his salary. He’s rich as heck, but he’s always coming up with something outside of politics to make money. So you go there and you try to pull him in jail and all this kind of his mugshot. Boom. He turns that into a big, big moneymaker. You know, you come in there next thing. He has Trump shoes. Big, big moneymaker. You know, you say a slogan or slang or whatever. He turned that in. Big, big moneymaker. Now he’s got a Trump watch. It’s a Trump watch, and he’s doing commercials. There’s commercials for this stuff, and he just makes this money. I can respect that. I don’t see any other president. I don’t see any other politician doing it like that. They just come up with hundreds of millions of dollars, and you’re like, how? How did you get this? Where did it come from? Nonprofit, 18 LLCs, all this other stuff. But I see Trump out there hustling his brand. So I respect that. That’s a product. Am I wrong?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I think it’s different. I’d put it in a different category than the Obamacare thing, at the very least, yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
So now they’re trying to say that the little oval office, the ballroom is some. Man, these people are crazy. They’re crazy, man. I’m telling you, we need to be in D.C. We need to be in D.C. and just walk the halls, knock on the door. You, you’re out of here, man. You’re out. Get out. Yeah, yeah. We’re going to go to break, man. This is Boise. I’m the Uniter. Let’s go. Let’s go.

AM 560 KLZ, your home station.
SPEAKER 06 :
I’m Adam Holtz, and you’re listening to Plugged In on KLZ AM 560.
SPEAKER 10 :
No snake has set foot in Zootopia in forever.
SPEAKER 06 :
Hops and wild. Wild and hops. The dream team. In the new movie Zootopia II, now in theaters, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde return to solve a mystery threatening their city. Judy’s an earnest rabbit on Zootopia’s police force. And these days, Nick, a wily former con man fox, is her police partner. Judy’s convinced that the city is in jeopardy. Seems there’s a big snake on the loose. And Judy and Nick are determined to find it. But there’s more to the story than any of them realize. Zootopia 2 emphasizes friendship and overcoming prejudice. Mild innuendo creeps in too, and we hear some references to animals dying. Some bathroom humor turns up as well. So we’re giving the Zootopia sequel a 3.5 out of 5 for family friendliness. Read the full review at PluggedIn.com slash radio. I’m Adam Holtz with the PluggedIn Movie Review by Focus on the Family.
SPEAKER 09 :
We have such incredibly loyal listeners on KLZ. You faithfully patronize our advertising partners keeping us on the air. They are grateful and so are we. Thank you for listening. Thank you for calling and visiting our advertisers. Thank you for telling them you heard them on KLZ. We appreciate you.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, happy holidays. This is Reggie Rocco, Luke and Luke, 560 KLZ. I’m a Uniter. So, you know, we have a lot of conversations on this show. I love it. That’s why people hit me up. Talk about this. What about this? What about that? And we just tell it like it is. And I’m telling you far as I’m concerned, I’m trying to figure out how being honest in politics makes you money. How does it really help the citizens that put you there? And how does it help America? Because right now, and I’m looking at Trump, what is going on to show me that being honest is the way to change the world and to put dollars in your pocket? I I respect Trump 100 percent how he does his hustle. And I don’t know all the things, but I can tell you, I don’t care who he’s been with or who he’s sleeping with. Little pee pee bin. I don’t care about none of that stuff. What I care about is America and Americans, period. Every friend I got and I let me see. Yeah, they’ve all been married probably two or three times. Married and divorced two or three times. All kind of kids, all kind of child support, all kinds of headache. Just living in a virtual living hell, man. And so I don’t care about people’s personal lives with their relationships because that’s really crazy. You gotta have you a good one. You got you a good one, Luke. So keep it high and tight. But it’s crazy out there, man. It’s crazy. In my world, man, you got to look over your shoulder every single time. And I’m like, wow. Can I sustain this type of lifestyle? And the answer is no. But if Luke go ahead and come off at least like about 150,000 of that pile he got over there, I could at least take that. On Freaky Fridays, I can at least go down and drop about two, three thousand. You know, have a good time with some of them ooh-la-la chicks that ain’t supposed to be here, but I like that they’re here, but they still need to go. And have a good time. Go to work. I always work. I’m working 24-7. I do not go anywhere without my computer, my phones, and everything. That’s just how it is. I’m always gathering information. I’m always creating. That’s just what God and my mom made me. But, yeah, I could use a break like Luke be taking in L.A. And his brothers are coming, what, the next week?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
Golly, man. Man, if y’all get a lot of alcohol, just bring me some, man. Just bring you a little? Just bring me a little, man. I’m going to need something after this goddamn, this fasting. If I’m on. Bold of you to assume that any alcohol is going to be left when we’re done with it. That’s true. That’s true. You might have to pre-pour. I’ll put it in a little flask.
SPEAKER 05 :
And hide it.
SPEAKER 07 :
Hide it because y’all be sniffing it out. But yeah, if I’m not in a hospital somewhere and I’m breathing, yeah, I’m going to do something to celebrate that. I’m calling the center tomorrow and I’m like, yo. okay y’all know what’s up you know email me and all that and we making these videos and everybody caster put out a video the other day okay we’re gonna start putting your name and so here’s some i’m actually giving some material too so they can use and put out their self on their own you know social media platforms and all that so great yeah donate to the women’s shelter definitely what i can’t remember that i can’t pronounce their name you know and so i I’m going to look it up sometime during the show and find out. But I just call it the women’s shelter over in Aurora. But I’ll get you the exact name. Chromitis? I think that’s what it is. I don’t know. I looked it up. I also don’t know how to pronounce it. Yeah, that’s crazy. But, yeah, it’s a great, great place. It’s someplace that I’ve been to several times delivering food for women and children at the shelter. So that’s great. Of course, resources are down because of what the liberals and Democrats have done to this state. And now our Americans that are here that need help are – Can’t get it because they put, I don’t know what it is, why they put all these illegals before our own people. White, black, blue, green, yellow, red, I don’t care. If they’re Americans and they’re true Americans, they’re all equal to me. So I just don’t like, it’s hard coming from the ghetto and then going to the suburbs like my mom brought us and then fighting this fight legally and honestly, to sit up here and watch this destruction of our people, of our Americans, period, but of our black communities, too. Like, I’d be telling you, like, yo, man, Pull your pants up, dude. Like how many times, you know, pull your pants up. I know it’s an illusion. I know you got your gym shorts on, right? But then you got these sweats down or these jeans way down below your hiney, and it makes it look like you’re walking around with, you know, with your pants down. But if you just took your pants off, everybody would be cool because it’s short. But no, they liked that illusion. Do you know where that came from, Luke? No, I can’t say that I do. This is what my gangster friends told me. In jail, that was a signal to let people know you’re open and who you belong to. I’m like, are you serious? They’re like, yeah, dude. I said, well, look, let me tell you something. All it would take is one time for me to hear that. One time, hey, Reg, you know, hey, pull your pants up because that represents this symbol in your culture and community in the prisons. Man, my pants are going to be pulled up to my neck. I’m going to be like, what? It’s crazy, man. I just don’t get it. I don’t get it. But I think if we keep going down the path we’re on with Trump, And I’m finding out there’s so many judges that are that are liberal judges and they try to exercise a power they’re not even supposed to have. I’ve never seen so much interference. I used to be like, oh, the president of the United States is the most powerful person in the world. But when Trump gets in, you got every organization, every branch. Every district, every jurisdiction, they all are going to court to stop everything that he does. But they can’t win. They just can’t beat this man. He’s the chosen one. So just accept it. But where will we be coming in the new year? I think hopefully in the new year it will look like this. Russia and Ukraine, we got that war settled. We got Venezuela dude, what’s his name? Medusa, whatever, Madudi, Medusa, let’s call him Medusa. Get him out. And we hopefully have put, you know, did some serious strikes on and just taken out all these cartels everywhere because they are ruthless individuals. I don’t care if it’s to anybody. Your people, our people, whoever. Them are some monsters and they do some horrible, horrible things. Just on that alone. I ain’t even thinking about the poppy seeds and all that stuff. Just on what it takes for another human to do what they do to another one. I vote to get them completely out of here. You know, I can’t judge you technically. That’s God’s job. But my job could be to send you to him. I can deal with that. But yeah, I hope the new year is just so much better. Better, you know, everything. There’s a lot of business stuff going on. I know, Luke, I know you’re doing stuff. I know you were telling me, are you still, I know you’re up in your mansion and all that stuff, but I know you’re doing some stuff that you and your girl are going to eventually get a house. which I would never do. I would never leave home if I stayed up there. I’d be like, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I mean, it’s a nice place, but I’m 27 years old and living with my parents and two younger brothers. It’s not a, you know, I’d rather just live with my girl, you know?
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, I feel you, man, but freak that, dude. No, no, no. You’re gonna get out here. Why does something go crazy, man? Well, you always have your family to go to, but that’s a nice crutch, but you go out here, you’re gonna see the real world.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it’s hard looking for houses, man. I mean, you know, the housing market’s not particularly great right now. The economy’s still a little rough. I mean, because we’ve been looking a lot recently. I remember back in the day, you know, back in the day being 15 years ago, right? You little kid on the playground for me going, a million dollar house, a million dollar house is a mansion, you know? A million-dollar house is six bedrooms, five bathrooms, 10-acre yard. You’ve got a million-dollar house, you’re living large. Now a million-dollar house is a three-bed, two-bath in a nice part of town. Maybe. Half a million dollars, you’re still dodging bullets in Aurora. Oh, you’re definitely dodging. That’s crazy to me. Especially because we’ve been looking right now.
SPEAKER 07 :
I was looking for an apartment about a year ago. And so you’re doing all these searches and you find out that there’s so many scams out there on Craigslist. Like you got this beautiful looking partner doing this and all of a sudden they don’t have a phone number. You got to do the email thing or then you call us a Google number. So it’s all, I wonder how did they, who are the dummies that fall for this, right? And then the second thing is, It’s people that are so greedy and they know people need places so bad, they do anything. So I’m scrolling down there. Okay, look up in here. Oh, this is a good price for this. Oh, let’s put a show image. I was up there. This dude had a house in a tree, a tree house. And it wasn’t even, it was like a junky little platform tree house. He was renting for $1,200 a month. In a tree. In a tree, dude. I said, this cannot be real. So you know me, I’m going to call it. Straight up. Straight up. You come on this land, you can live in the tree house. Climb on up in there and it’s where you can shelter.
SPEAKER 1 :
$1,200.
SPEAKER 07 :
$1,200 a month. That’s horrible. That is a horrible situation. So as I look at my account, and Johnny J., OK, listen, you know, Johnny calls all the time since we’re pre-recording. He’s not going to be able to do it, but he’s one of the sponsors, too. You know, and so his. His whole company and his whole ideology of what’s going on, he’s good. He put, like, nine days. You got to do nine days, which is cool. You know, he’s always been great to the show. And everybody’s making it fun and funny. But, yeah, his company is front and center. in reference to the videos as well. So, you know, we need to definitely get with him. I’m sending him videos too. And I think his company is Intervision. And so, yeah, you got to get with Johnny J with his music and his record label, what he does. That’s a good thing. He does it with his nonprofit, and it’s cool. I mean, he does a lot of stuff, man, being visually impaired. Way more than I could do. But, yeah, cool guy, good guy. Check him out. So, damn, we got to get to the break. We got to go to the break. You’re listening to 560 KLZ. I’m a uniter. This is AM560 KLZ, your home station.
SPEAKER 02 :
We live on the shoulders of giants, ordinary American men and women who put themselves in harm’s way so that you and I can live in freedom and sleep at night. Kim Munson with America’s Veterans Stories here. It is my honor to bring their stories to you each Sunday. These interviews help you learn our history from those who lived it. These stories remind us why we stand when we hear the Star Spangled Banner. That’s America’s Veterans Stories Sunday, 3 to 4 p.m. and 10 to 11 p.m. right here on KLZ 560 and KLZ 100.7 FM.
SPEAKER 10 :

We handpick advertising partners to protect and improve your home. We serve as a second home where you can join a community of like-minded individuals. We are Crawford Media Group, and you’re listening to KLZ 560, your home station.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, 560 KLZ, I’m a uniter, Reggie Rocco, Lukey Luke. It is the holidays, of course, and everybody’s looking forward to that Thanksgiving. We are actually pre-recording because everybody else is going to be out, you know, especially my guy. He’s going to be out, you know, balling out, having a great time, which that’s cool. That’s cool. I’m going to be here the day after, no, two days after Thanksgiving. And I’m going into that 14-day fast to raise money for the women’s shelter. And if you guys want to sponsor, you can. Because, you know, I’m going to need all the juice, medicine, headache medicine, probably Pepto-Bismol, you know, some other stuff. Anything but solid food. Luke, does broth count as solid food? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 05 :
Do you have to chew it?
SPEAKER 07 :
No.
SPEAKER 05 :
Then I’d say you’re good. Oh. Anything I got to choose, not going to happen. Anything you got to choose. I’d even, hot take, I even think maybe smoothies are like a bit too solid, but I don’t know.
SPEAKER 07 :
Okay, yeah. Some people say that. They say, hey, well, I’m like, well, what if you really, really, really Vitamix, Vitablend the smoothies into where it’s nothing but just liquid? That’s still too much, too much nutrients, too much stuff in there.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know. I think – I mean, it’s a little chunky. It’s a little foodie. It’s like a soup, right? Is a soup a drink or is it a food? I don’t know.
SPEAKER 07 :
Right, right. So if you eat chicken noodle soup, that’s definitely a solid. Yeah, no good. That’s no good. Because you’ve got to chew it. If you – Ooh, what about cream of chicken? That’s still no good because it’s still thick. Yeah, I think that’s too much. Yeah, it’s too much. So it has to be like that beef broth that’s nothing but water and colored with salt. It’s got to be something like that. But yeah, but you know what, dude? We were talking about the housing market out here and all that because, you know, believe me, I’ve been looking, and I do things a little differently in reference to that, and we’ll get into that another day. But definitely been looking, and Colorado just seems untouchable, man. You can’t get in.
SPEAKER 05 :
What do you think? Yeah. I mean, certain places have gotten far worse than others, but on the whole, the medians change rather dramatically. During the break, I did some number crunching. Okay. And this is according to the stlouisfed.org, which has calculated the median household income from it looks like the year. The earliest we have is median from 1963 all the way to 2024. And then this is across the U.S. I did some numbers. Okay. In the year 2010, the median household income was $67,500 and some change. The median home price was $224,000. Go to 2024, median household income is $83,000, and then the median home price is around $500,000. Okay. Which means, if you crunch the numbers, the income to home price ratio, right? So it’s like how much money you’re making compared to the home price. The home price. It has worsened by about 38%. 38% in this instance, meaning if you take the averages across the board, you, Reggie, if you’re the average American… your salary would need to increase 38% to afford the same home that 15 years ago you could have afforded just fine.
SPEAKER 07 :
And this is a 40-hour week. This is just regular work. This is not tons of overtime, three jobs. This is one job.
SPEAKER 05 :
This is median household income, and it’s calculating household income, household being all participants in a household. All participants with a check? Yes. So that’s anyone who is contributing to the household’s total income. That means either you or your spouse. I think the average household is like 2.5 people, or it’s like 3.2 people or something like that.
SPEAKER 07 :
Dude, there’s no way you can survive. There’s no way you can do it. That’s all checks together, everybody together, and it’s 66,000, basically 38, 40%. Are you telling me that that’s unreachable numbers to get a home?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, and if you want to compare that, I ran the numbers again, compared to the same numbers from 1990. 1990, the housing market, the ratio, the amount of money you need to make compared to the average home price, it’s worsened by 50%. So, you know, 50% being, if you are making $40,000 a year… or equivalent. Worsened by 50% means if you want to afford a home, you would need to increase your salary by $20,000, which means you need to take your salary, cut it in half, add that new number to your total salary. You need to add a significant portion. How are you going to do it? A lot of people can’t. That’s why, you know, apartments and rentals and stuff like that, it’s crazy. You can’t afford a home these days.
SPEAKER 07 :
And, you know, so it’s a box because those apartments for rent, you can’t afford those either.
SPEAKER 05 :
No, no. And even if you do get a house, a lot of these new builds are garbage. It’s all, you know, build them as quickly as you can for, you know, the cheapest labor, the cheapest material. You know, you move into a brand new house built in 2025 and you’ve got a leaky roof and, you know, flooding in the basement.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down. It’s made out of styrofoam and dreams. But the costing, you know, you’re paying a half a million dollars for a piece of junk. What about the HOA stuff?
SPEAKER 05 :
I hate HOAs. Oh my God. I hate HOAs. You’re telling me, like you move into a house, you finally, Reggie, you put half a million dollars, 500,000 of your hard-earned dollars down on a house, and then your neighbor can tell you what color you’re allowed to paint it. They’re allowed to tell you what signs you can have in your front yard. They say, we don’t like that American flag. Actually, take it down. And they’re allowed to do that. And if you don’t do it, they’re going to charge you even more money.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, yeah. That would be a civil war type of thing for me. There ain’t no way I’m going to put, you know, I always say they’ll give you a car loan for $50,000. They’ll give you a house loan for $300,000, $400,000. They’ll give you a student loan for $150,000. But they won’t give you a business loan. When it goes to getting a business loan, what’s the first thing they say? What kind of assets do you own? Your house? Do you own your car? Do you? Well, if I owned all that, I wouldn’t be here. Man, I need a loan. I need a business. No. So it’s impossible to get the money. Then the credit, you know, the credit, and then they got some serious ones. They got credit, you know, credit cards that come out here, the interest rate, so much you can’t even, you get swamped by that. And then they got, and then once you’re swamping, people think that, Oh, man, his credit is messed up, but it sends out a signal to everybody like, aha, we got him. Then this whole other organization, this whole other department of credit card companies are coming at you, and they’re trying to give you everything, everything. You know, the interest be crazy, mafia numbers. Oh, well, yeah, you go and take $1,500, $2,000 here at, you know, 500% interest. What? Where is that? You look in the blind print, you borrow $1,500. You have to pay back 500%. And I know this because they’ve been sending all this stuff to me. And so I went to my bank and I said, how do I get these people to quit bugging me and blah, blah, blah, this and this even legal? And my bank says, yeah, they, these third parties and all that, they can technically charge you whatever they want. I’m like, how is that possible? Like, you might as well send me to the cartel. The money’s bigger, better. You know what I’m saying? The payback isn’t as much. If I could just get it done so you don’t get your head cut off. But the bottom line, man, this is, can’t nobody survive this.
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know. I think getting sent to the cartels may be a bit better. At the very least, the worst that happens to you is you die. Right. Here, the worst that happens to you is they strip you of everything and you are subject to being homeless in the Colorado winter. You die a slow death, a slow, hard death.
SPEAKER 07 :
Yeah, quick and painful. Less pain is the way. So, yeah, nah, man. They’ll be incredible numbers. Thanks for that, man, because people need to know that. What’s the solution?
SPEAKER 05 :
I don’t know. I don’t know. Funny enough, again, this is probably going to catch me some flack. I’ve heard it said a lot. People go, well, a lot of the cost of new home prices is new regulation. If you stop doing all this regulation, then you can afford a home. I don’t know about you. I kind of like regulation in my home. I don’t want it to be made out of asbestos and Tinder. I think it’d be nice if the quality of my home is regulated. I think they’ve got to increase wages, man. People aren’t getting paid enough.
SPEAKER 07 :
Well, okay, so let’s go with the regulation. Isn’t that kinda like common sense? How does anybody think you’re gonna pay all this money and you’re gonna have bull crap material, bull crap drywall, bull crap everything? I don’t get that. Regulation, it should be a standard. It should be a standard all across the board. If you paying this much, you getting this type of quality. What is that to regulate? I didn’t even know that’s what they were saying.
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, a lot of people being the argument is often said that if you want to decrease home prices, you have to decrease the regulations. That’s a scam. Like I said, personally, I would prefer my house to not be made out of Tinder.
SPEAKER 07 :
Can it be at the government level? Can it be regulated? Can it be executive ordering that says, hey… Our homes are going to be built out of quality, this, that, and the other. And in that way, it’s just a law, a rule, so you don’t open up the greed door for everybody else to make up this crap. I didn’t even know regulations is what you’re talking about. So you’re telling me that has to do with the kind of material that’s used to build your house.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s material cost. It’s safety features. It’s the type of insulation you’re allowed to use and how that insulation is meant to be distributed. Stuff like that. It’s a lot of built to spec. Make sure you’re not using warped wood or make sure doorways are… And who makes these regulation rules up? So I’m not sure who’s in charge. I think it’s, if I’m remembering correctly, I believe it’s like state level or something like that. You don’t quote me on that. I’m not super familiar with who is making the regulations. But yeah, I think if you want to be able to afford homes. First of all, I think you gotta get these private equity, these huge, huge, huge multi-billion dollar private equity firms who are sitting there, they’ll buy up 150 single family homes, they’ll overbid $50,000, they’ll turn them into rentals. You can never own those. The company owns those. And they’re renting them out for life.
SPEAKER 07 :
For life. You know what? I came across that as well, too. So you’re like, well, who do we talk to in reference to the price of the rent? Is it negotiable? Blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, all these homes are owned by such and such LLC. Like, what do you mean? What homes? Oh, yeah, we own like 5,000 homes in America. You know, our company bought up all the houses and we just rent them out. What kind of bull crap is that? I don’t think you should be able to do that. I don’t think companies should be able to own homes. They shouldn’t. They shouldn’t. But that is exactly what’s going on. And you know it’s always the same people, man. Dig far enough, you’re going to find Bill Gates, Bezos.
SPEAKER 05 :
It’s all BlackRock and Vanguard.
SPEAKER 07 :
You know, BlackRock, all that. It’s the same people. And, you know, we need to do something about that. Ah, man, Trump got so much on his plate. Somebody might.
SPEAKER 05 :
Doom and gloom right after Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER 07 :
Anoint me. Anoint me because I will. Give me a list of stuff. And I’m just going to make a ruckus about it 24-7, Mike. That’s what I would do. What else are they doing? What else are they doing in Congress? I don’t know what these Democrats are doing. And I really don’t. I know more what the Republicans are doing. Still, what are they doing every day? You know you got a bunch of crap to do every day. So do I. Every day. So what are they doing?
SPEAKER 05 :
Not enough.
SPEAKER 07 :
There ain’t no bills being passed. All they’re doing is fighting Trump. What’s your responsibility every day when you get up in the morning and go in? What do you do?
SPEAKER 05 :
Yeah, I mean, that goes real well into the government shutdown that just happened. The government gets shut down. Federal employees aren’t paid. Federal programs stop. But they’re still getting a paycheck. Congress is still getting their money.
SPEAKER 07 :
And I guess somebody in Republicans said, I think it was Lindsey Graham, said, hey, let’s put a bill to where, hey, if the government shuts down, that includes our checks, too. And no one’s going to vote for it because who’s going to vote for them not to get a paycheck? Right. And they would never shut down a government no matter what. That’s why. So we just got to be. I guess, Luke, we’re either going to be sitting at the table or on a menu.
SPEAKER 1 :
Yeah.
SPEAKER 07 :
I like that. I like that. So we got to get a seat at the table, dude. I’m tired of being on the menu. But, man, hey, man, you guys have a happy, happy, happy holiday. Happy Thanksgiving. Yes, remember, the 30th of November, I will be into this 14-day mode. I’m going to try my best to do the 14. I’m definitely doing three. You can put everything you need. I’m not letting Luke win. So we’re going to count it out for like this. Three, two, one, and we out. From 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. It’s about love, y’all.
SPEAKER 03 :
Have a wonderful morning and a great day.
