Speaker 1: or its advertisers.
0:09
Speaker 2: I'm Mike McGrath, retired Navy captain, and if you would
0:13
Speaker 2: please join me in a pledge of lead. I pledge
0:16
Speaker 2: the legiance to the flag of the United States of
0:18
Speaker 2: America and to the Republic for which to stamp one
0:21
Speaker 2: nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
0:26
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me.
0:27
Speaker 1: Richard Randall is on Colorado seven KVR. So if you
0:33
Speaker 1: were thinking that things are starting to calm down here,
0:36
Speaker 1: a little bit depends on where you look.
0:37
Speaker 3: Right.
0:38
Speaker 1: So if you look at Minneapolis and Minnesota generally, I
0:42
Speaker 1: think really good news coming out of there. And do
0:45
Speaker 1: not let any people on the left till you see
0:47
Speaker 1: Trump Holman. We won. They all back down because we
0:51
Speaker 1: had little checkpoints and we harassed ice and border patrol
0:54
Speaker 1: so much that they back down. I heard Tom Holman.
0:57
Speaker 1: I'm captivated. I'm looking at him. He was live this
1:00
Speaker 1: morning about eight o'clock and from the very beginning to
1:03
Speaker 1: the end. I had to miss a couple of minutes
1:06
Speaker 1: at the end because I had to get in the
1:07
Speaker 1: car and drive. But it was captivating and it really
1:10
Speaker 1: encapsuled what he is about, what the President is about,
1:13
Speaker 1: what you and I are about, what we would like
1:16
Speaker 1: to see done in this country. And it's good news.
1:19
Speaker 1: So we'll dive into that primarily here today. The mayor's
1:23
Speaker 1: talking about safety downtown. There mean, some people who thought
1:27
Speaker 1: it was a good idea, others not so much. But
1:30
Speaker 1: the mayor dealing with that yesterday, so I'll tell you
1:32
Speaker 1: about that. Gosh, what a great story if you get
1:36
Speaker 1: a chance. Honestly, he is so good. Ryan Kaufman does
1:41
Speaker 1: that Drivetime Sports in the afternoon, and I know some people.
1:45
Speaker 1: You know, it's an acquired taste and you have to.
1:47
Speaker 1: I get used to it pretty quickly because I'm immersed
1:50
Speaker 1: in all of this news pretty much twenty four to seven,
1:54
Speaker 1: and then I give myself the luxury of listening, not
1:58
Speaker 1: always for the whole three hours, been hour or two.
2:01
Speaker 1: And it's amazing the things I find out. I'm an
2:03
Speaker 1: Avalanche fan. I had no idea that they've been playing
2:06
Speaker 1: so poorly since s Gabe Blandeskog got hurt. Didn't know
2:09
Speaker 1: that until I'm listening to him yesterday. Lindsay Vonn got
2:12
Speaker 1: her over the weekend. One of my favorite sports is
2:16
Speaker 1: downhill skiing and the Olympics in particular. And how out
2:20
Speaker 1: of all of the news streams that I had coming in,
2:23
Speaker 1: I didn't pick up that Lindsay Vonn got hurt over
2:25
Speaker 1: the weekend. And I'm talking with Ryan and he said, well, yeah,
2:29
Speaker 1: and she's going to compete, and I'm like, hold on, what, Yeah,
2:31
Speaker 1: she's she's going to compete in the Olympics. She has
2:35
Speaker 1: a torn acl and she's going to compete. She's ski
2:37
Speaker 1: the other day. So we're gonna talk about that a
2:39
Speaker 1: little bit. We'll hear from Lindsay Vaughn herself. But I
2:42
Speaker 1: have to tell you, probably twenty minutes, fifteen minutes whatever,
2:46
Speaker 1: it was probably about a half an hour into his show,
2:50
Speaker 1: go to the podcast because he just tells the story
2:54
Speaker 1: of Lindsay Vaughn. And maybe it's because I like skiing
2:56
Speaker 1: so much in the Olympics and her so much, but
2:59
Speaker 1: I'm I got choked up a couple of times because
3:02
Speaker 1: it was so stunning. And part of her story is
3:06
Speaker 1: she loves to represent the United States of America. I
3:09
Speaker 1: wish that, you know, when she was all t vowed
3:11
Speaker 1: up there that one season, and she's doing, you know,
3:14
Speaker 1: kneeling with t vou and all that kind of thing
3:17
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks or whatever. I'm thinking, boy,
3:19
Speaker 1: that would be great if the two of them could
3:21
Speaker 1: start creating children, and we would have a great planet here.
3:25
Speaker 1: I think she's a little bit more liberal than that,
3:27
Speaker 1: and I think she's been critical of the president. I'll
3:31
Speaker 1: tell you what, I don't like people who are critical
3:33
Speaker 1: of the president, but I like people who love this country.
3:35
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the people are critical of
3:37
Speaker 1: the president have no idea how uninformed they are with
3:42
Speaker 1: that criticism, just no idea whatsoever. And so I'm gonna,
3:47
Speaker 1: in my own ways personally and on the air here
3:49
Speaker 1: try to make some headway on that. But if people
3:52
Speaker 1: won't listen to you, then there's no headway to be made.
3:57
Speaker 1: And I keep seeing on X the past couple of
3:59
Speaker 1: days all of these liberals saying, well, you need to
4:02
Speaker 1: ditch your MAGA friends, and then you know, ditch I'm
4:05
Speaker 1: never going to date somebody from MAGA. If I showed
4:08
Speaker 1: you the woman that was saying that, I was gonna say,
4:12
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna be much of a problem.
4:14
Speaker 1: See that's so rude because I do look at a
4:16
Speaker 1: lot of these people and how did I say this politely?
4:22
Speaker 1: You know what, they look like freaks, and they want
4:24
Speaker 1: to look like freaks. So there's this one woman yesterday
4:27
Speaker 1: on X and you know she her face looks like
4:29
Speaker 1: a pincushion. She's got so many piercings on it. And
4:33
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, do your own thing whatever. But
4:36
Speaker 1: it's almost predictable that some of the most outrageous stuff
4:40
Speaker 1: is coming from some of the most outrageous people, right,
4:43
Speaker 1: So we'll we'll talk about Lindsay Vaughn a little bit later,
4:46
Speaker 1: but I recommend Ryan because he told her story. It's
4:50
Speaker 1: just awesome. Want to remind you that over the weekend
4:53
Speaker 1: they're going to have downtown a big celebration of the
4:56
Speaker 1: kickoff to the Olympics. I went with my kids to
4:59
Speaker 1: the one that they had for the Sochi Olympics. It
5:03
Speaker 1: was awesome. Its cold as hell, but it was absolutely
5:05
Speaker 1: worth the cold and it was absolutely awesome. And so
5:08
Speaker 1: I'll probably be down there. The kids have grown up,
5:10
Speaker 1: but I'll probably be down there myself for a little bit.
5:13
Speaker 1: I would recommend it to you highly, and yes, if
5:16
Speaker 1: you're asking it sounds like you kind of like the
5:18
Speaker 1: Winter Olympics more than the summer. In fact, I do.
5:21
Speaker 1: I do. True story, when I was a little kid,
5:24
Speaker 1: I loved watching bob slid wild sports. Right, they'd always
5:27
Speaker 1: have bob slid, or they'd have skeleton is what they
5:30
Speaker 1: call it in San maritz It's kind of like looge,
5:32
Speaker 1: except your head goes first, right, And I'd always watch that.
5:36
Speaker 1: And so I wrote a letter to the newspaper. I
5:38
Speaker 1: say it was a tribute may have been the Sun Times.
5:40
Speaker 1: So when I grew up, I'd like to be a
5:43
Speaker 1: bob sled racer? How can I do that? And it
5:45
Speaker 1: was kind of a snarky but polite letter that they
5:48
Speaker 1: posted in the paper itself that said, well, that's a
5:52
Speaker 1: good question. Unfortunately, you're gonna have to move to Lake
5:55
Speaker 1: Placid because there is nothing remotely close to that here
5:59
Speaker 1: in the mid or elsewhere in the United States. Now
6:01
Speaker 1: that's changed. We have you know, Park City out there
6:04
Speaker 1: in Utah. They've got a great facility as well. But
6:08
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of athletes come out of Colorada Springs.
6:11
Speaker 1: Who are you know, they're great when it comes to
6:13
Speaker 1: lose or bobsledder all. I mean, we've had so many
6:16
Speaker 1: great Colorado skiers. When I grew up, there weren't that
6:19
Speaker 1: many great Colorado skiers. And then I think when Tommy
6:22
Speaker 1: Moe came along Peekaboo Street, it started something. And so
6:26
Speaker 1: some of the people you're looking at now, Lindsay Vond
6:28
Speaker 1: some of the others, I think they grew up looking
6:30
Speaker 1: at some of those folks and saying, no, it's not
6:32
Speaker 1: just Switzerland and Austria and you know Norway, Sweden and
6:37
Speaker 1: Italy that can have great France, that could have great skiers,
6:41
Speaker 1: we have great skiers as well. And at age forty
6:44
Speaker 1: one to come back with even an attempt to get
6:49
Speaker 1: past a torn tendon like that and ski and.
6:53
Speaker 4: She was out on the slopes already.
6:55
Speaker 1: It's an amazing story. When I'll be following, and I
6:57
Speaker 1: promise not to over talk about it, because there are
7:00
Speaker 1: so many other things that are going on in the world,
7:02
Speaker 1: like well, like things are really heating up in the
7:06
Speaker 1: Middle East. I'm keeping a close eye on it, and
7:08
Speaker 1: I've got the advantage of a couple of friends, one
7:11
Speaker 1: in particular, he's never given me a syllable of anything
7:16
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't, but he steers me toward open source stuff.
7:19
Speaker 1: And if you want to find out what's going on
7:21
Speaker 1: in the Middle East, and there's a lot, there's a
7:24
Speaker 1: ton of open source stuff out there. It's almost it's
7:26
Speaker 1: almost creepy to be able to track exactly where our
7:31
Speaker 1: aircraft carriers are, how far they are off the coast
7:34
Speaker 1: of Iran. And apparently they pulled back a little bit
7:36
Speaker 1: because Iran was threatening to use ICBMs on them, which
7:41
Speaker 1: it's not really intercontinental, and I talked to my person, goes, well,
7:44
Speaker 1: that's not a very good weapon to use against aircraft carrier.
7:47
Speaker 1: But Chinese has been saying for a long time, and
7:50
Speaker 1: their allies of Iran, they've been saying for a long time,
7:52
Speaker 1: well we've got hypersonic that can take care of your
7:55
Speaker 1: floating airport there pretty quickly. They did have a drone shootdown.
8:00
Speaker 1: Le's get that out of the way. In fact, right
8:01
Speaker 1: off the top, because I'm not going to do the
8:03
Speaker 1: whole show on Iran. I'm just going to tell you
8:05
Speaker 1: things are getting hot there and I will post some
8:08
Speaker 1: stuff on my social media and I want it to
8:11
Speaker 1: be on your radar because I don't want all of
8:14
Speaker 1: a sudden, something just blows up there and your caught
8:17
Speaker 1: flat foot at The US military says yesterday that it
8:19
Speaker 1: shot down a drone from Iran that was aggressively approaching
8:23
Speaker 1: that aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea. We've got Fox's
8:28
Speaker 1: Lucas Tumlinson. He's in Washington. He's got the details on
8:30
Speaker 1: that drone strike.
8:31
Speaker 5: It's the first aired air kill for the Navies F
8:33
Speaker 5: thirty five see launch from the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln
8:37
Speaker 5: in order to shoot down that Iranian drone flying too
8:40
Speaker 5: close to the strike group in the Arabian Sea. In
8:43
Speaker 5: the past, Iran has used drone footage of US Navy
8:45
Speaker 5: ships for propaganda purposes. The incident took place hours after
8:50
Speaker 5: Rani and gunbowt Tarrasta US oil tanker transiting the Straight
8:53
Speaker 5: of Horror moves a pair of vipers US Air Force
8:56
Speaker 5: F sixteen's, along with the God of Missile destroyer uss
8:59
Speaker 5: McFall escort of the tanker out of harm's way. Despite
9:02
Speaker 5: the incidents, President Trump says talks will continue with Iran.
9:07
Speaker 1: All right, So what is my take? Well, you know,
9:10
Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham such a weird guy, and I'm not talking
9:12
Speaker 1: about the other that's his own business. I don't even care.
9:15
Speaker 1: I hate that people just, you know, shout that stuff
9:17
Speaker 1: out of him. It's his life, it's his business. I
9:19
Speaker 1: don't care unless it's somehow getting in the way of
9:21
Speaker 1: what he does, and I don't think it is, because
9:23
Speaker 1: it seems to be a pretty open secret. He did
9:25
Speaker 1: say something the other day that I believe is true,
9:28
Speaker 1: and it's not a very convenient truth. And that is
9:31
Speaker 1: mister president, you kept telling people inside of Iran that
9:34
Speaker 1: you would stand behind them, and some of those people
9:37
Speaker 1: apparently believe you went out into the streets, got killed,
9:41
Speaker 1: got injured, got captured, got put into prisons, got tortured.
9:45
Speaker 1: And you need to keep that promise, not just for Iran,
9:49
Speaker 1: but for all of the next time that you promise something,
9:52
Speaker 1: not just for the people, do you promise it too,
9:53
Speaker 1: but for a regime that if you warn them, don't
9:56
Speaker 1: cross this red line. One of the examples that people
9:59
Speaker 1: have been using in remember Syria, you had chemical weapons
10:02
Speaker 1: there at Aleppo, and Obama's the president, and he said,
10:06
Speaker 1: we got a red line here. You use any chemical
10:08
Speaker 1: weapons and it's game over. They use chemical weapons and
10:11
Speaker 1: it wasn't game over. So I think you have to
10:14
Speaker 1: be pretty pretty astute when you start saying that, you know,
10:18
Speaker 1: here's a red line and if you cross it, we're
10:20
Speaker 1: in trouble. All right, let's take a little bit of
10:22
Speaker 1: a short break here, and then when we come back,
10:24
Speaker 1: we're gonna start talking about illegal immigration, primarily with Tom
10:29
Speaker 1: Homan and the changes that are taking place announced just
10:32
Speaker 1: a little over an hour ago in Minneapolis, and I
10:36
Speaker 1: will post his entire press conference. I think it's about
10:39
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five minutes long. Every word was golden and
10:42
Speaker 1: if you want to know anything about what the status
10:45
Speaker 1: of ice and border patrol and the border is, christin home.
10:48
Speaker 1: Apparently he'll be down on the border and have a
10:50
Speaker 1: press conference a little bit later today. It is one
10:53
Speaker 1: stop shopping for all of that. I wish that I
10:56
Speaker 1: could have time and I'd play the whole darn thing
10:58
Speaker 1: for you, But we've got David's pulled a number of
11:00
Speaker 1: clips on that, so we'll have that. One final thought,
11:03
Speaker 1: So are you going out to Vegas anytime soon? You
11:06
Speaker 1: was thinking about going out for a sporting of fun,
11:08
Speaker 1: maybe you say a hockey game there, go see the
11:10
Speaker 1: Eagles at the Dome or anything. Do you have any
11:13
Speaker 1: concerns about whether the Chinese have been running an illegal
11:17
Speaker 1: bio lab with a bola and stuff like that in
11:20
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Oh, you didn't have that concern. You should
11:23
Speaker 1: have that concern. Tell you about that when we come
11:24
Speaker 1: back Las Vegas. So I have to tell you about
11:31
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. It's not an entirely unheard of thing for
11:35
Speaker 1: there to be an illegal Chinese bio lab with apparently
11:42
Speaker 1: samples of Ebola, West Nile and all of the rest.
11:46
Speaker 1: Just not It's happened once before out in California, and
11:49
Speaker 1: I didn't have time to just cross my mind. Now,
11:51
Speaker 1: David's gonna look for it. That's how it works sometimes,
11:54
Speaker 1: David's gonna look forward to see if he can find
11:57
Speaker 1: what I think was a story coming out of maybe
11:59
Speaker 1: Michigan again, there was a university there with a couple
12:01
Speaker 1: of professors from China who were trying to smuggle in
12:05
Speaker 1: some Ebola and things like that. It ties together with
12:08
Speaker 1: this story that you'll see breaking a lot today or
12:11
Speaker 1: a lot of talk about it, and that is Chinese
12:14
Speaker 1: anchor babies. And the fact that Obama was okay with that, Well,
12:18
Speaker 1: I'm not okay with that, and I'm not Okay, with
12:20
Speaker 1: the fact that Joe Biden let tons of Chinese come
12:24
Speaker 1: across the border and we have no idea who these
12:26
Speaker 1: people were. We had an expert on the border on
12:29
Speaker 1: a couple of times, and one of the things that
12:31
Speaker 1: he reminded us of he goes, you just have to
12:33
Speaker 1: look at the people are coming in and like, why
12:35
Speaker 1: do you guys look at the Chinese. You don't see
12:36
Speaker 1: Chinese families coming in. You don't see little kids or
12:39
Speaker 1: moms or elderly Chinese people coming across the border. You
12:43
Speaker 1: see people who are all.
12:44
Speaker 4: They look almost identical.
12:46
Speaker 1: They're the same age, they're all male, they stand about
12:49
Speaker 1: the same height, their haircut is almost identical. They have
12:52
Speaker 1: good teeth, which is unusual in China. They have a
12:55
Speaker 1: certain military bearing, and why would that be best because
12:58
Speaker 1: they're in the military. They're just coming across the border
13:01
Speaker 1: into the United States. So now we have this story
13:03
Speaker 1: breaking out of Las Vegas, where over the weekend. The
13:07
Speaker 1: story broke yesterday, apparently the raid was over the weekend.
13:10
Speaker 1: You have a swat team go in there and they
13:12
Speaker 1: have more than a thousand pieces of evidence with potential
13:16
Speaker 1: biological and hazardous materials, primarily in a locked garage. The
13:22
Speaker 1: video is up and you can look at that online.
13:27
Speaker 1: I guess everybody values things differently. That stands to me
13:32
Speaker 1: like a concern, like a pretty big story. I don't
13:36
Speaker 1: know if that should be the lead story of a
13:38
Speaker 1: newscast or the front page of a newspaper, but it
13:42
Speaker 1: certainly ought to be on our radar. Why because that
13:45
Speaker 1: one little biolab is so important, Richard, No, because that's
13:49
Speaker 1: the one little biolab we know about. So how many
13:51
Speaker 1: other biolabs are there out there? I mean it's funny
13:54
Speaker 1: because people made a big deal and I understand why
13:58
Speaker 1: about a biolab here in Colorado. But I knew somebody
14:01
Speaker 1: who worked at that biolab, and the story that they
14:04
Speaker 1: did a couple of weeks ago is actually a couple
14:06
Speaker 1: of years behind in terms of what was going on
14:08
Speaker 1: at that lab up near Fort Collins. And like I said,
14:12
Speaker 1: I knew somebody who worked there, and the protocols were
14:14
Speaker 1: strict as hell. I mean, background checks, go in, go out,
14:18
Speaker 1: everything you only work, compartmentalize over here, westn alvirus, ebola, here,
14:24
Speaker 1: a lot of other stuff. But it was very well
14:27
Speaker 1: organized and very secure. That's not what we're talking about here.
14:30
Speaker 1: And so if you find one in California like this,
14:33
Speaker 1: which they did before, and you find this one in Vegas,
14:37
Speaker 1: aren't you curious to know how many other ones are
14:40
Speaker 1: out there?
14:42
Speaker 4: I am, And.
14:43
Speaker 1: So what could they be up to? I don't know,
14:46
Speaker 1: you know, all I can think is they're just research
14:48
Speaker 1: scientists who couldn't get, you know, a university to hire
14:52
Speaker 1: them to help them with their research, so they've had
14:54
Speaker 1: to go it alone. Do you think that's the possibility?
14:58
Speaker 1: Do you think the possibility is that you know, they
15:00
Speaker 1: want to have something like this in case they want
15:03
Speaker 1: to release something in the United States, so that we
15:05
Speaker 1: would have a Wuhan COVID too, except a lot worse
15:09
Speaker 1: than what that was. I'm concerned about that, and I'm
15:12
Speaker 1: dead serious about this. You don't have to call just
15:14
Speaker 1: shoot me a text and tell me I'm crazy to
15:18
Speaker 1: be concerned that we got Chinese bio labs and Chinese
15:22
Speaker 1: people bringing hazardous materials and bio things that can be
15:27
Speaker 1: used for bio weapons put it that way into the
15:29
Speaker 1: United States, Because I don't think I'm crazy, and I
15:32
Speaker 1: think it is something that ought to be on people's radar.
15:34
Speaker 1: And if you find it's like a criminal. You know
15:36
Speaker 1: you caught this guy stealing one car. Do do you
15:38
Speaker 1: think you only caught him the very first time you
15:40
Speaker 1: ever stole a car? Or do you think he probably
15:42
Speaker 1: stole ten cars before this one and ten cars after
15:45
Speaker 1: this one. But you're prosecuting for one And Democrats would
15:48
Speaker 1: say he you know, he made a mistake, give.
15:50
Speaker 4: Him a break.
15:51
Speaker 1: Just because a person was charged or convicted one time
15:54
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that the person didn't commit all these other crimes.
15:57
Speaker 1: I say that to say that if you find a
15:59
Speaker 1: bio weapon lab in Las Vegas, you ought to have
16:03
Speaker 1: on your radar a lot of other things. And I
16:05
Speaker 1: just there's no way around it. How does some of
16:08
Speaker 1: this stuff happen Richard that you're worried about Chinese bio
16:11
Speaker 1: labs or some of these other people that maybe sleeper
16:15
Speaker 1: cells inside of the United States just waiting until there's
16:17
Speaker 1: a conflict between China and the United States. Well you
16:20
Speaker 1: could blame how about all one hundremierkis? Could you blame him?
16:24
Speaker 1: Could you blame Joe Biden? Probably not, he wasn't cognitive
16:27
Speaker 1: enough to know very much. Could you blame the Auto
16:30
Speaker 1: pen gang there? You can blame them a little bit
16:32
Speaker 1: I think as well. How about Kamala Harris, she was
16:35
Speaker 1: the borders are right, she let all these people in.
16:37
Speaker 1: And what the people in Minneapolis and all of these
16:40
Speaker 1: anti Ico bad Bunny and these Hollywood people out there
16:44
Speaker 1: will never acknowledge is that Tom Holman and this president
16:48
Speaker 1: and een border patrol and all of the rest are
16:52
Speaker 1: cleaning up a huge, serious problem that was created in
16:57
Speaker 1: the four years, primarily the four years of the Biden administration.
17:01
Speaker 1: Why don't all of these you know, liberals who want
17:04
Speaker 1: to yell at President Trump and about ice and border
17:07
Speaker 1: patrol and all the rest, why don't they just acknowledge
17:09
Speaker 1: that we wouldn't even be doing any of this if
17:12
Speaker 1: the border was locked down the way it is now.
17:14
Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that Tom Holman said
17:16
Speaker 1: this press conference today, and this is the guy worked
17:19
Speaker 1: for several administrations, right, so when he says it, I've
17:22
Speaker 1: got to believe him. He says, this is the most tight,
17:25
Speaker 1: secure and lockdown border that the United States has ever happened.
17:32
Speaker 1: Meaning if you read the book Pretty Horses, and they
17:33
Speaker 1: went back and back and forth across the border. Panchobilla
17:37
Speaker 1: comes in and attacks a town in Arizona. Border used
17:40
Speaker 1: to be pretty poor. It's going back for a long
17:41
Speaker 1: long time. It was only recently they had millions and
17:44
Speaker 1: millions of people coming across it, And now how many
17:47
Speaker 1: people do they have coming across it? That could have
17:50
Speaker 1: been done at any time? And if you're thinking, I'm
17:53
Speaker 1: giving people a pass on that, like Bush and some
17:55
Speaker 1: of the others, Koch brothers, they wanted cheap labor, so
17:58
Speaker 1: they're okay with the illegals coming in. A lot of
18:01
Speaker 1: people could shut that border down if they wanted to,
18:03
Speaker 1: but they didn't want to. President Trump's not a perfect man.
18:06
Speaker 1: He's not a perfect president whatever that crapit. You have
18:09
Speaker 1: to hear all the caveats and you know the exemptions.
18:13
Speaker 1: But he is an American hero because he's making this
18:15
Speaker 1: country secure. And had Joe Biden, people actually thought to
18:19
Speaker 1: elect his vice president, who allowed this to go on.
18:23
Speaker 1: I don't know if you could just have a little
18:25
Speaker 1: Neon sign on the back of everybody out there after
18:27
Speaker 1: they have their body cams on the front, on the
18:29
Speaker 1: back they have solving the problem that was created by Biden,
18:32
Speaker 1: Harris and my Orcus, that'd be kind of cute.
18:35
Speaker 3: Let's go to New im Mariane Confidence with Sports on
18:39
Speaker 3: kV R. For most athletes at toorn ACL means this
18:43
Speaker 3: season is over. Lindsay Vaughan is apparently not most athletes.
18:48
Speaker 6: Considering how mine feels, it feels stable, I feel strong,
18:51
Speaker 6: my knee is not swollen, and with the help of
18:54
Speaker 6: a kneebrace, I am confident that I can compete on Sunday.
18:58
Speaker 3: Forty one year old gold Men suffered the injury just
19:01
Speaker 3: last Friday, but we'll press on with her Olympic comeback.
19:05
Speaker 3: The Cortina Games will be her first Olympics since twenty eighteen.
19:10
Speaker 3: I'll have more on these stories on Drivetime Sports at three.
19:13
Speaker 3: For now, I'm Ryan Kaufman and that's Sports on seven
19:16
Speaker 3: forty kV OR.
19:19
Speaker 1: Okay, So I need to say this because I'm listening
19:22
Speaker 1: to Ryan yesterday. I'm interested in Lindsay Vonn.
19:25
Speaker 4: And you know, even in just.
19:26
Speaker 1: The first half hour of his show, it was so
19:28
Speaker 1: good to just have a little bit of a break
19:30
Speaker 1: of every all the conflict and everything that's going on.
19:33
Speaker 1: Plus I found an update on Lindsay Vaughn. I love
19:35
Speaker 1: Olympic skiing and also the Avalanche. I love the Avalanche.
19:39
Speaker 1: I had no idea till I'm listening to him exactly
19:42
Speaker 1: where the Avalanche is in terms of their season, especially
19:45
Speaker 1: after Gabe Landis got hurt. It's kind of refreshing. But
19:48
Speaker 1: the key thing then is I get done with that
19:50
Speaker 1: and I go straight to Levin. So I would recommend it.
19:53
Speaker 1: Give it a list now, Lindsay von A couple of
19:56
Speaker 1: thoughts here. My first thing, and I'm sure you're thinking
19:58
Speaker 1: the same thing, But wait a minut you're all talking
20:01
Speaker 1: about Lindsay Vaughn here. She's amazing, she's forty one, she's
20:04
Speaker 1: still cute, and she's gonna go out there and ski.
20:07
Speaker 1: There are people I saw online who are like, she's
20:09
Speaker 1: probably paking this, and she probably paked to have the
20:12
Speaker 1: crash and the injury so that she can make this
20:14
Speaker 1: heroic comeback and make more money and everything. I'm not
20:18
Speaker 1: saying that that's never happened in sport. I guess it
20:20
Speaker 1: may have. I'm pretty sure that's not what's going on
20:24
Speaker 1: with her. First of all, for her to even come
20:26
Speaker 1: back out of retirement at her age is amazing. I
20:30
Speaker 1: did a very I don't want to sound like I
20:33
Speaker 1: did ski race. I did a very tiny amount of
20:35
Speaker 1: ski racing in the Midwest, and then out here for
20:38
Speaker 1: a little bit, I did ski learn how to do
20:40
Speaker 1: downhill with Billy Kidd and the guy who you know
20:44
Speaker 1: trained people for the Olympics, and so I got a
20:47
Speaker 1: little bit of experience. But I can also tell you
20:49
Speaker 1: that I've skied one time since I tore my ACL
20:52
Speaker 1: How'd you do that, Richard Well?
20:54
Speaker 4: I went to Monarch.
20:54
Speaker 1: I hadn't skied all year. I went out there at
20:56
Speaker 1: the end of the season, and I was so excited
20:59
Speaker 1: to get onto this slow that I didn't do anything
21:01
Speaker 1: to warm up or stretch or anything. I just got
21:03
Speaker 1: onto a run called Pecante. I will remember that forever
21:07
Speaker 1: because you're whipping along and then next thing you know,
21:10
Speaker 1: there's a pop. You're tumbling through. And I always had
21:13
Speaker 1: these like racing skis, right, and you have racing bindings.
21:16
Speaker 1: Now that's nice, sounds cool, right, Except the racing bindings
21:20
Speaker 1: don't release easily because you don't want your ski flipping out.
21:23
Speaker 1: If you put a lot of pressure on it, it
21:25
Speaker 1: didn't release, so it tears up the thing. Now I
21:28
Speaker 1: go to a great specialist, and I was stunned to
21:30
Speaker 1: find out that, you know, John Elway played a good
21:34
Speaker 1: part of his career I'm pretty sure he won a
21:36
Speaker 1: Super Bowl on a bad leg because he had torn
21:39
Speaker 1: his ACL didn't have it repaired. I did go out
21:42
Speaker 1: one time subsequently and tried it to ski, put a
21:44
Speaker 1: big knee brace on everything. It was wobbling, and it's
21:47
Speaker 1: just it. It didn't feel like doing it again. I
21:50
Speaker 1: mentioned that only because take my word for it. For
21:53
Speaker 1: her to even be thinking about doing this so quickly
21:56
Speaker 1: is the major deal. Now we come to the big
21:59
Speaker 1: elephant in the room, right, Lindsay Vonn Donald Trump, Ice, Mega, you,
22:06
Speaker 1: Richard Randall, when she was done with Tim Tebow, you
22:10
Speaker 1: thought you had a chance.
22:11
Speaker 4: No, I never had a chance. I didn't want to
22:13
Speaker 4: have a chance. I was not available.
22:15
Speaker 1: But I can tell you this, Lindsay Vonne, there's so
22:18
Speaker 1: much to like about her. In by the same token,
22:20
Speaker 1: I think she fits in with many of these other
22:23
Speaker 1: athletes and many of these people in Hollywood and all
22:26
Speaker 1: the rest. They're low information, and because they're low information
22:29
Speaker 1: or they're only getting information from one source, they have
22:32
Speaker 1: this attitude toward President Trump or make America great again,
22:35
Speaker 1: or America First, or any of these things. So but
22:39
Speaker 1: to what extent, Richard, Well, you know, apparently she had
22:42
Speaker 1: said previously. Now this goes back to twenty seventeen. She
22:47
Speaker 1: had come back then and she was gonna ski at
22:49
Speaker 1: the twenty eighteen Olympics, and she made it clear that
22:51
Speaker 1: she really had no interest. If she had won a
22:54
Speaker 1: medal in going to the White House, she absolutely would
22:56
Speaker 1: not do that because she was going to the Olympics
22:59
Speaker 1: to represent the United States of America and not one person.
23:03
Speaker 4: That person would have been Donald Trump.
23:04
Speaker 1: That's fine. What did you think everybody went to the
23:07
Speaker 1: Olympics was representing the president of their country at that time?
23:11
Speaker 4: That's why would you think that? That's kind of stupid.
23:14
Speaker 1: Do you think all of the teams that went to
23:16
Speaker 1: the White House they won their championship because they were
23:19
Speaker 1: representing that president or something? Lindsey, That's not the way
23:22
Speaker 1: it works. You beat the hell out of your body.
23:25
Speaker 1: I wasn't aware that he had any I'm not kidding here,
23:27
Speaker 1: any concussions. I've had seven of them. It does something
23:30
Speaker 1: to your brain, especially as you get a little bit older.
23:33
Speaker 1: I just think it's low information, and so I think
23:37
Speaker 1: the most telling thing here, David, you were the one
23:39
Speaker 1: who told me about this. He's like, well, yeah, see,
23:41
Speaker 1: she didn't want to say anything bad about President Trump.
23:44
Speaker 1: I'm like really, so that's kind of new. And then
23:47
Speaker 1: she didn't want to say anything bad about President Trump
23:50
Speaker 1: heading into these Olympics in case she was going to
23:53
Speaker 1: have her passport ganged stop
