8.20.19:ICE and Infectious Disease-Targeting Trump on the Three R's-Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Welcome to the Americhicks podcast. Kim Monson is your host - Agree or disagree, let's have a conversation! The Colorado Department of Transportation plans on spending $2.5 million on a study to look at passenger train service between Pueblo and Fort Collins. Governor Jared Polis has suggested that the Department of Agriculture begin to include meatless products in their work and department (tinyurl.com/y6ej98lc). The Aurora City Council is considering a proposal that would require the ICE detention center located in Aurora to report disease out breaks within the facility. It seems reasonable to ask that the city be made aware of an outbreak of infectious disease within the city. The Trump administration has issued new policy guidelines regarding immigration work permits. Immigrants that are viewed as likely to rely on government aid can now more easily be denied Green Cards. The Democrats are targeting President Trump on the "three R's". What are the three R's? They are, Russia, Racism, and Recession. Did you hear that Hollywood is doing a remake of the movie Planes, Trains & Automobiles? It’s now called Trains. CDOT, Colorado’s Department of Transportation, has earmarked $2.5 million to do a study about spending anywhere from $5 billion to $15 billion to build a high-speed train to travel from Pueblo to Fort Collins. This is just another scheme to get us out of our cars and SUVs. Transportation expert, Randal O’Toole, a Senior Fellow at the CATO Institute (cato.org/people/randal-otoole) will explain why this is a terrible idea.
