TEXT MESSAGES TO THE SHOW

THE PHONE LINES FOR THE SHOW ARE OFTEN FULL.. IF YOU CAN'T GET THROUGH OR JUST PREFER TO TEXT OR EVEN BE ANONYMOUS YOU CAN TEXT ME DURING THE SHOW AT 719-695-8398.

TEXT NUMBER ONE:  A feasibility study should be done for the downtown project. If it is viable, open it up to venture capital. Allow the investors to share in the profits.

TEXT NUMBER TWO:  Richard. The only way it's going to work downtown is if they build a retractable roof mountain shaped stadium. It can then be used for many other sports ( USOC ) where bad weather won't affect them. //// or a retractable dome stadium which could have a 4 ( basketball, baseball, soccer & volleyball ) corners sculptured on top of the dome. Robert. 

TEXT NUMBER THREE:  It would seem that those who want a downtown stadium dont support the team and stadium we now have. //// If it is so bad out east, why is all the growth out there? People want to live where the weather is crappy? /// Athletes overcome adversity not make excuses.  ////You are failing on your sell. You might want to try a new approach instead of double down. 

TEXT NUMBER FOUR:  I'm a walker and I find the bikers, for the most part, very rude. They bike past us going extremely fast and pass us so closely that they practically touch our clothing. Also, VERY few let you know they're coming. They scare the walkers!! 

TEXT NUMBER FIVE: Why don't they build the baseball stadium west 24. Near the Penrose arena. Close to downtown and they are already rebuilding the off ramp. Josh 

TEXT NUMBER SIX: 7: Richard. We love you but the mayor is right. I was very involved in world arena and raised money and helped make other accommodations. I have studied this issue at great length. El Pomar is the only reason it succeeded. Rich Laden does his homework. Gary Indiana does not look so good now. Only promoters got rich. Lee T. 

TEXT NUMBER SEVEN: : Richard, listen to you daily. Live just across I-25 from KVOR. Can't remember the last time I was downtown. 10 miles away for starters. No $ from me for downtown. Thanks, keep up the good work. Listener Dave 

TEXT NUMBER EIGHT:    For heaven's sake Richard, please learn how to pronounce the word mayor. It's MAY-OR, not "MARE"... Trump has fried your brain! 

TEXT NUMBER NINE:  Get rid of the homeless bums downtown and you may have more interest in a facility there. I don't like going in the downtown area unless I absolutely have to for that reason. It's disgraceful for our city. 

TEXT NUMBER TEN: As a life long bronco fan the highlight of the weekend was Terrel Davis making the 2017 hall of fame class 

TEXT NUMBER ELEVEN:  Richard. There is a lot of murderers in this nation. Gangsters, abortionists, Marxists, Communists, etc... Robert. 

TEXT NUMBER TWELVE: Richard I thought Iraq was a mistake always did. We could have used a more measured approach to managing that monster. Putin made a mistake going into Ukraine we made a mistake going into Iraq, people died and we should all learn our lessons 

TEXT NUMBER THIRTEEN: Best commercial: 2 lines of Budweiser Clydesdales horses facing each other playing football ///// Worst ever - Beyonce and her ho dance team. ////// Tim, every time Richard talks about Tebow, you should mention Baker Mayfield and the Sooners! 

TEXT NUMBER FOURTEEN:  Libs in MA, VT, CT are in a delimma. Supporter of the Patriots and not Trump but Brady is. Mental health hotlines might be busy.

TEXT NUMBER FIFTEEN: Ivanka has liberal views too. Hardly a conservative. Maybe they are anti semetic as she converted to Judaism when she got married. 

TEXT NUMBER SIXTEEN:  Libs are for immigrants except for the first lady and Cubans. Hypocrites 

TEXT NUMBER SEVENTEEN: Gaga will not be vagina but maybe a cat. She said it would be athletic though. 

TEXT NUMBER EIGHTEEN: Carol here. Someone so Brady's hate & demanded answers about. I think its was a person from Morehouse college. The person wrote about it saying Brady was worse than Colin Kaepernick. Idiots. 

TEXT NUMBER NINETEEN:  Tom Brady has been Shady since his days at the University of Michigan. Go Blue! People forget, UM lost the ability to participate in Bowl games for many years because the "Coach" was caught cheating. Brady was there too. He came up in a culture of corruption. Yet, he's still a great QB 

TEXT NUMBER TWENTY: Gaga also, 'swears to Lucifer' https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zvC7QAUhqF8 9:43 AM

The term 'Paddy Wagon' was also a disrespectful term towards the Irish. Interesting. 

TEXT NUMBER TWENTY-ONE: Richard, My team is the Packers and certainly not the Patriots so I probably won't watch the game. So hope the Falcons win! My favorite commercial was the Heinz commercial with the weiner dogs running across the field towards the Heinz bottles.

TEXT NUMBER TWENTY-TWO:  Beyonc 's hate the police and black lives matter theme has to be the worst ever! The Green Bay victory still has to be the sweetest, closely followed by the Carolina defeat!  ///////  Im a Floyd Little fan from way back! A different day and age. A selfless talent! 

TEXT NUMBER TWENTY-THREE:  Richard. Rudy needs to stop ignoring the truth. "Love it or leave it you traditional left wing Democrat !" Robert the Latino. 

NUMBER TWENTY-FOUR:   Richard have you seen or heard yet about the Budwieser advertisement for the game. If they truely are coming out on the right side and putting themselves out there we got to speak loudly with them. Would like to hear you tomro on this. 

TEXT NUMBER TWENTY-FIVE:  Ask Rudy where in the constitution it says a president can change laws. Obama suspended work requirment in welfare law and numerous aspects of ACA. 

TEXT NUMBER TWENTY-SIX:  Richard, you need to start using your lawyer skills and show the hypocracy of the liberal callers.  //////  Funny how liberals are all about the constitution execpt when it is ignored for stuff they want. Sanctuary cities, gun control, free speech of non liberals... 

TEXT NUMBER TWENTY-SEVEN;  Berkley is example of love Trumps hate and the tollerance of the left. ///// When you cant defend your ideas, result to name calling. ////  ///// I have been called worse by a lot better people, but thanks for trying to play. ////// The ends justify the means with liberals. Constitution be damned. 

TEXT NUMBER TWENTY-EIGHT:  I'm sorry to say this because I feel I'm a tolerant person, but I'm going to boycott listening to his ignorance.   /////  Speaking about Rudy's ignorance... 

TEXT NUMBER TWENTY-NINE:  Remind people of 2012 horrific rape of 53 yo springs women by Iraqi refugees. 

TEXT NUMBER THIRTY:  We need to drive the conversation away from the "nuclear option" to say the Republicans in the Senate will use the "Harry Reid" rules. 

TEXT NUMBER THIRTY-ONE:  Richard, let's talk about Impeach Trump!!! He is getting close to!!! I will give him couple months!!! Republican and Democrats are working on it!!! Let's Save American of natioanlism!!!! //// 

Richard, why do you care about if refugees are not Christians.. if you have denied your Christianity!!! Do not play double moral.. you should tell your listeners.. I do not care if we have Christians or Muslim... or tells us if you are Christian and willing to die for Christ!!!! 

TEXT NUMBER THIRTY-TWO:   Since Trump (and it had only been 11 days) every day is Christmas! ☺ Shirley-Elizabeth, CO. 

TEXT NUMBER THIRTY-THREE:  Allison here. I think Trumps stretegy is having the libs wear out fast. They are spread thin, their potesters are spread thin. Genius! Please mention how the court is stacked against protestants. This is why the engelical vote was important even in 2012 

TEXT NUMBER THIRTY-FOUR:    I am not an environmentalist! I am a conservationist! There is a major difference and it would be good if someone would explain that in depth to these liberal snowflakes! 

COLORADO NATIVE NOMINATED TO THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT

President Donald Trump has chosen Neil Gorsuch, a judge for the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Colorado, as his choice to fill the vacant seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Gorsuch would fill the seat left empty by the death of former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February 2016.

Gorsuch, 49, would be among the youngest nominees for the court. Justice Clarence Thomas was 43 when nominated, and Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Elena Kagan were each 50 when confirmed.

Gorsuch, a native Coloradan, was appointed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in 2006 by former President George W. Bush.

He received degrees from Columbia University, Harvard Law School and the University of Oxford. As a law student he clerked for Justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy. White was also from Colorado.

Gorsuch is an avid outdoorsman, hunting, fishing and skiing in the mountainous state of Colorado.

He lives near Boulder, Colorado, with his wife, Louise, and their two daughters.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SUPER BOWL INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT

O’Reilly: So another big week for the Trump administration. Judge Gorsuch, that rollout went very smoothly, I think.

Trump: Yes it did, yes it did.

O’Reilly: But the refugee deal, not so much.

Trump: I think it was very smooth. We had 109 people out of hundreds of thousands of travelers and all we did was vet those people very, very carefully.

O’Reilly: You wouldn't do anything differently if you had to do it over again? Some of your people didn’t really know what the order was.

Trump: Well, that's not what General Kelly said. General Kelly — who's now Secretary Kelly — he said he totally knew, he was aware of it, and it was very smooth. It was 109 people.

O’Reilly: Let's talk about Iran, your assessment. Do you think we're on a collision course — we being the United States — with that country?

Trump: I think it was the worst deal I’ve ever seen negotiated. I think it was a deal that never should have been negotiated —

O’Reilly: The nuclear deal?

Trump: Absolutely. The deal that was made by the Obama administration. I think it’s a shame that we’ve had a deal like that and that we had to sign a deal like that and there was no reason to do it and if you’re going to do it, have a good deal.

We gave them $1.7 billion in cash, which is unheard of, and we put the money up and we have really nothing to show for it.

O’Reilly: Possible you’ll tear it up?

Trump: We’ll see what happens. We’re going to see what happens. I can say this: They have total disregard for our country. They are the number one terrorist state, they are sending money all over the place, and weapons, and you can’t do that.

O’Reilly: Sanctions, that’s how you’re gonna start with them. But you’re moving a carrier right?

Trump: I never talk about military moves. I always criticized President Obama with having an announcement that they’re going into Mosul. They give the name, the date the time. I don’t believe in that.

O’Reilly: So you’re not real bullish on Iran at this point.

Trump: I’m not bullish. I think they have total disrespect for our country and I understand that deal. I would have lived with it if they said “OK, were all together now,” but it’s just the opposite. It’s like they’re emboldened. They follow our planes, they circle our ships with their little boats and they lost respect because they can’t believe anybody could be so stupid as to make a deal like that.

O’Reilly: You talked to Putin last week. You had a busy week last week.

Trump: Busy week and a half.

O’Reilly: Do you respect Putin?

Trump: I do respect him but —

O’Reilly: Do you? Why?

Trump: Well, I respect a lot of people but that doesn’t mean I’m going to get along with him. He’s a leader of his country. I say it’s better to get along with Russia than not. And if Russia helps us in the fight against ISIS, which is a major fight, and Islamic terrorism all over the world — that’s a good thing. Will I get along with him? I have no idea.

O’Reilly: But he’s a killer though. Putin’s a killer.

Trump: There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What do you think — our country’s so innocent. You think our country’s so innocent?

O’Reilly: I don’t know of any government leaders that are killers.

Trump: Well — take a look at what we’ve done too. We made a lot of mistakes. I’ve been against the war in Iraq from the beginning.

O’Reilly: But mistakes are different than —

Trump: A lot of mistakes, but a lot of people were killed. A lot of killers around, believe me.

O’Reilly: Let’s talk about Mexico. There’s a report that you talked to President Nieto and you told him — this was the report, I want to know if it’s true or not — that if his army couldn’t handle the drug cartels, that U.S. army soldiers would. Did you say that?

Trump: We have to do something about the cartels. I did talk to him about it. I want to help him with it. I think he’s a very good man. We have a very good relationship, as you probably know. He seemed very willing to get help from us because he has got a problem, and it’s a real problem for us. Don’t forget those cartels are operating in our country. And they’re poisoning the youth of our country.

O’Reilly: At this point, do you consider Mexico a corrupt country? Because this stuff has been going on for decades.

Trump: I love the people. I really like this administration. I think he’s a good man. We get along very well. But they have problems controlling aspects of their country. There’s no question about it, and I would say the drugs and the drug cartels, No. 1.

O’Reilly: Have you figured out what kind of a tariff you’re gonna levy on Mexico to pay for the wall?

Trump: Well, right now it’s very unfavorable. Right now, we’re losing our jobs to Mexico. You look at the plants, these massive plants. Now I have to tell you, I’ve turned it around already, I’ve turned it around. You see that. Ford has been phenomenal. They cancelled a plant. They’re building tremendous ...

O’Reilly: Yeah, you intimidated them. They’re afraid of you.

[crosstalk]

Trump: I don’t know if they’re afraid of me. They wanna do what’s right.

O’Reilly: They wanna do what’s right? Why didn’t they do what was right in the past? They’re afraid of you.

Trump: Because the wrong people spoke to them. But they’re gonna do what’s right, and they’re bringing jobs back to Michigan and Ohio and Pennsylvania and all the places that have lost their jobs. That’s already happening. I think you’re gonna see tremendous job growth in this country.

O’Reilly: Let’s turn to domestic policy. I just spent the week in California. As you know, they are now voting on whether they should become a sanctuary state. So California, and the USA, are on a collision course. How do you see it?

Trump: Well, I think it’s ridiculous. Sanctuary cities, as you know, I’m very much opposed to sanctuary cities. They breed crime, there’s a lot of problems. If we have to, we’ll defund. We give tremendous amounts of money to California — California in many ways is out of control, as you know. Obviously the voters agree, otherwise they wouldn’t have voted for me.

O’Reilly: So defunding is your weapon of choice?

Trump: Well it’s a weapon. I don’t want to defund a state, a city.

O’Reilly: But you’re willing to do it?

Trump: I don’t want to defund anyone. I want to give them the money they need to properly operate as a city or state. If they’re going to have sanctuary cities, we may have to do that. Certainly that would be a weapon.

O’Reilly: Is there any validity to the criticism of you that you say things you can’t back up factually, and as the president, if you say, for example, that there are 3 million illegal aliens who voted and then you don’t have the data to back it up, some people are gonna say that it’s irresponsible for a president to say that. Is there any validity to that?

Trump: Many people have come out and said I’m right. You know that.

O’Reilly: I know, but you’ve gotta have data to back that up.

Trump: Let me just tell you. And it doesn’t have to do with the vote, although that’s the end result. It has to do with the registration. And when you look at the registration and you see dead people that have voted, when you see people that are registered in two states that voted in two states, when you see other things, when you see illegals, people that are not citizens, and they’re on the registration rolls. Look, Bill, we can be babies, but you take a look at the registration, you have illegals, you have dead people, you have this. It’s really a bad situation. It’s really bad.

O’Reilly: So you think you’re gonna be proven correct in that statement?

Trump: Well, I think I already have. A lot of people have come out and said that I am correct.

O’Reilly: But the data has to show that 3 million illegals voted.

Trump: Forget that. Forget all of that. Just take a look at the registration, and we’re gonna do it, and I’m gonna set up a commission, to be headed by Vice President Mike Pence, and we’re gonna look at it very, very carefully.

O’Reilly: Well, that’s good. Let’s get to the bottom of this. 2017, can Americans expect a tax cut?

Trump: I think so, yes, and I think before the end of the year. I would like to say yes.

O’Reilly: Can Americans in 2017 expect a new healthcare plan rolled out by the Trump administration, this year?

Trump: In the process, and maybe it’ll take until sometime into next year, but we are certainly gonna be in the process. Very complicated. Obamacare is a disaster. You have to remember, Obamacare doesn’t work. So we are putting in a wonderful plan. It statutorily takes a while to get. We’re gonna be putting it in fairly soon. I think that, yes, I would like to say, by the end of the year, at least the rudiments, but we should have something within the year and the following year.

O’Reilly. Last question. You get four hours of sleep or some crazy thing like that. When your head hits the pillow, do you ever say to yourself, “I can’t believe I’m here. I cannot believe that I’m the president of the United States when I wasn’t a politician, I didn’t start out this way, that wasn’t my life goal?” Does that ever come into your mind?

Trump: Well, I must tell you, the other day, I walked into the main entrance of the White House, and I said to myself, “This is sort of amazing.” Or you walk into Air Force One. It’s like a surreal experience, in a certain way, but you have to get over it, because there’s so much work to be done, whether it’s jobs or other nations that truly hate us. You have to get over it.

O’Reilly: Football. How do you see this game?

Trump: Well, I like Bob Kraft. I like Coach Belichick, and Tom Brady is my friend.

O’Reilly: They’re all taking gas because of that, you know.

Trump: I know, they’re talking a lot of heat. But you know what? They’re also getting a lot of popularity out of it. I think they’re gonna do very well. Tom’s a winner.

O’Reilly: So you’re rooting for the Patriots?

Trump: I think the other team is fantastic, though. No, I think it’s a fantastic team. Turned out to be a good quarterback. But you know, there’s less pressure on the Patriots, because they’ve been there. Once you’ve won, once you’ve done it, and they’ve done it, once you’ve done it, there’s a lot less pressure. So we’ll see what happens. But you know, you have to stick up for your friends, right?

O’Reilly: Sure. Now, Fox Sports is demanding I ask you to make a prediction.

Trump: I hate to make predictions.

O’Reilly. But you have to.

Trump: I hate to do it. I don’t even know what are the odds. I guess it’s pretty even, two great teams, pretty even, so I’ll say the Patriots will win.

O’Reilly: By how many points?

Trump: By eight points.

O’Reilly: All right. That’s a good presidential prediction, and we’ll see.

Trump: Shouldn’t be doing those things, but that’s OK.

O’Reilly: You don’t need data on that.

Trump: I need no data on that.

O’Reilly: Mr. President, thanks very much for taking the time.

SUSPECT IN DENVER SHOOTING OF R.T.D. GUARD HAD "RADICAL MUSLIM" TIES

A “radical Muslim” has been named as the suspect in the “execution style” shooting of a former cop and Pastor in Colorado. The Denver Police Department is accusing 37-year-old Joshua Cummings of killing Scott Von Lanken, 56. Von Lanken is a former Wisconsin cop.

According to documents in the case, Von Lanken, a security guard with the Regional Transportation District in Denver, was helping two women with directions when he was allegedly ambushed by the suspect. The attack happened on the night of January 31 at around 11 p.m. close to Union Station in Denver. One witness heard the suspect say “something to the effect of ‘Do what you are told…'” before the shots rang out. That witness added that the suspect had a “swollen face and different/weird-looking eyes.”

In announcing Cummings’ arrest, a police spokesman noted the similarities between Von Lanken’s security uniform and Denver PD uniforms. A source within law enforcement told Fox Denver that Cummings is being investigated as a “radical Muslim.” The station reports that officers found “jihadist materials” in Cummings’ backpack. The Denver Channel reports that Cummings was on an FBI terror watch list.

Cummings had several Anti-Cop messages on his Twitter page and had recently been thrown out of a Mosque in Texas.

The Denver Channel reported in the summer of 2015 that the state of Colorado. That was according to FBI Director James Comey who was visiting the state. Comey said, “ISIL has been motivating people to kill people in uniform. That’s a threat to the military everywhere, but given Colorado, the number of personnel in Colorado, it’s a focus of ours here.”
