07-28-26 FULL SHOW - The Vibrancy In Denver Is Magic

In this episode of The Mandy Connell Show, Mandy Connell dives into the issues plaguing Denver, from crime and law enforcement to the city's handling of data centers and the impact of socialism on the economy. With her signature wit and humor, Mandy tackles tough topics and gets to the heart of the matter. Mandy discusses the city's response to crime, highlighting a recent incident where a business owner was told that a video of a suspect throwing a rock through a window was not a good lead for the police to investigate. She also talks about the city's consideration of codifying a policy that would limit low-level traffic stops, which she believes would be a mistake. Additionally, Mandy shares a personal story about her own experience with crime in Denver and how it's affected her community. The episode also touches on the topic of socialism, with Mandy discussing a recent poll that found only 6% of voters recognize the reality of true socialism and have a favorable opinion of it. She argues that the term "socialism" means different things to different people and that the 10% on the left and right are fighting over a concept that doesn't reflect the views of the majority. Mandy also shares some interesting facts about the history of drive-through restaurants, including the fact that the first drive-through restaurant was Red's Giant Hamburg, which opened in 1947.  We also play "Now You Know" with our very own Chad Bowar, talking drive thru history!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
