00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:13.240
Ladies and gentlemen in this corner from
the University of Colorado, Thirty years in

2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:21.679
the Rain, fighting for Truth,
Justice and the American Way, Chaps twelve

3
00:00:21.679 --> 00:00:25.280
o five on this pretty afternoon,
Glad you're here. So much going on.

4
00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.640
We're talking about Dave Williams, chair
of the GOP. Under his leadership,

5
00:00:29.679 --> 00:00:35.560
the GOP sending out this insidious,
awful, toxic email that really defames

6
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:41.359
not in a legal sense, but
really the fames all Republicans in Colorado.

7
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:45.560
Because when the GOP sends out an
email using the word hate to a referring

8
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.679
to gay people, of course,
what's the message going to be? GOP

9
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.240
Republicans hate gay people, and nothing
could be further from the truth. I

10
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.520
don't know about Dave Williams himself,
who's behind this apparently, but because Dave

11
00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.039
won't come on the show to talk
about it, but I can tell you

12
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.439
a guy who used to be a
Democrat and has now spoken to an awful

13
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:06.799
lot of Republican groups over the years
and everything else, Republicans do not hate

14
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:08.840
gay people. Quite the opposite.
Now, Republicans have their head on right

15
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.920
when it comes to public policy.
No, gay rights and trans rights don't

16
00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:19.599
trump religious liberty. They don't trump
free speech, they don't trump parents' rights.

17
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:22.599
We've got to fight very, very
hard to hold on to our religious

18
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.159
liberty, hold on to free speech, hold on to parents' rights, and

19
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:32.599
more when it comes to pushing back
against this radical administration that's trying to impose

20
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:38.640
its will when it comes to LGBTQ
plus stuff. Right, So, on

21
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:41.959
a policy issue, Republicans have their
heads on right now. I bet they

22
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.400
are an awful lot of Democrats who
agree with Republicans on that. But when

23
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.959
it comes to the human piece,
to basic love and respect, dignity,

24
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:53.599
etc. No, it is the
exact opposite. Now, I can tell

25
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:56.719
you all these different Republican groups,
I've had the privilege to speak at all

26
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:01.280
these different events everything else, I
haven't picked up any animus whatsoever when it

27
00:02:01.319 --> 00:02:06.879
comes to gays, as the reality
is that right everybody knows gay people,

28
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:08.159
a lot of people have gay people
in their family, a lot of people

29
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:12.479
work with gay people. This and
that that animis just isn't out there.

30
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.240
So why in the world if you
were sitting there and you were on the

31
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:22.360
left and you wanted to absolutely destroy
whatever's left of the Colorado Republican Party,

32
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:28.360
and you wanted to absolutely destroy the
reputation of Colerad of Republicans in Colorado.

33
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:31.479
You're sitting there on the left,
you're evilly trying to plot that. And

34
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.520
what do you do. You have
a chance to talk to the party chair.

35
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:37.560
What do you do you say to
the party chair? Hey, send

36
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.360
out an email that says you hate
gays, right, that's these So of

37
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:45.840
course that's what the Colorado gop I
put that in quotes because it doesn't represent

38
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:50.960
Republicans in Colorado. That's what Dave
Williams does, and it causes so much

39
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:53.680
harm. But it just as bad. The worst part of it is the

40
00:02:53.719 --> 00:03:00.520
way that it really does to fame
and slime all Republicans in Colorado and those

41
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:06.159
who are active in the party,
who are overwhelmingly really great people doing hard

42
00:03:06.199 --> 00:03:08.960
work to try to benefit all of
us, and it slimes them as some

43
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:14.800
kind of gay haters, which is
false. So that's the worst part of

44
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:16.120
it, you know, and there
are a lot of really bad parts of

45
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.520
it. And the second worst part
of it is it hands the political opponent

46
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:27.759
on these very important issues. Religious
liberty is a big blanking deal, freedom

47
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.080
of speech is a big blanken deal. Parental rights is a big blanken deal.

48
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:35.199
These are issues we need to fight
through the courts, fight through the

49
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:42.080
political channels to win on But we
win with law and logic and reason and

50
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:46.400
love. We don't win with hate
and have a party chair who wants to

51
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:52.400
represent us as haters, the opposite
of us. It should not be tolerated.

52
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:57.879
And we know Dave isn't going to
resign that whoever does is central Committee,

53
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:00.879
whatever needs to stand up and make
a change. And the interest of

54
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:05.159
the cause is that we all share
and believe in. With these issues being

55
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:09.240
so important, standing up to the
left on all these issues, would you

56
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:15.280
want to hand the political opponents these
easy victories. It's a betrayal of the

57
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.319
causes we all believe in. Why
so one guy can light his hair on

58
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:23.879
fire and get a lot of attention
that maybe helps his primary No, that's

59
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:28.600
not who we are. And this
is where real leaders like Barb Kirkmeyer and

60
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:32.439
Nancy Palazzi with the JEFCO GOP,
they know they're going to take a lot

61
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.839
of abuse, they know they're going
to take a lot of heat. Everybody

62
00:04:35.879 --> 00:04:42.519
can see how Dave tries to fire
back on his opponents but they're willing to

63
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:46.000
stand up for what's right here,
and Republicans all over the state need to

64
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:49.160
do that. Whether they consider themselves
grassroots or establishment or somewhere in between,

65
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:54.759
it doesn't matter. He is undermining
all of you. He is undermining everything

66
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.920
you believe in those causes, and
he's making you look really bad in the

67
00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.360
process, unless, of course,
you do hate gays, then you're loving

68
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:08.360
it right. But I haven't met
a single Republican who does it. Certainly

69
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.959
doesn't represent the party. Dennis and
Parker, you're on the Dan Kaplas Show.

70
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:16.839
Welcome, Greetings, greetings, very
nice to take a little bit of

71
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:21.720
your time, and I apologize for
my lack of knowledge and eloquence that you

72
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.279
command. And I'd like to just
divert a little bit from what you're talking

73
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:33.480
about. I know your topic is
Dave Williams, but I think the Democrats

74
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:39.519
are laughing all the way to the
ballot box in being able to divert and

75
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:49.079
cast a negative sponge on the Republicans. What I've done, I was telling

76
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:55.000
your screener that the past two elections, what I've done is I've taken my

77
00:05:55.079 --> 00:05:59.639
ballot, I've signed it with my
left hand, not my right hand.

78
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.959
Normal. Sure. I've also taken
in the in the script on the top

79
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.000
that gives you the instructions on how
to vote and all that stuff. I

80
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:12.600
put a code in there, which
I've taken a picture of I've got from

81
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:17.639
my own records. And what is
really funny is that my ballot was accepted

82
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:21.199
and said, oh, thank you
for voting, and blah blah blah.

83
00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:27.240
So I'm saying that the Jenna Griswold
gold standard is far from gold standard.

84
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.839
Dennis, let me interrup one second, only because we have people all fired

85
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:32.360
up on this Dave Williams stuff,
and I've got to stand on that topic.

86
00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:36.720
But you're telling me you intentionally made
your signature, it was your signature,

87
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.040
but made it look like something else
and it got accepted anyway. Did

88
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.199
you then have to did you pursue
that through any channels? I'm not saying

89
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:47.839
you should have. I'm just curious. I would love to. I just

90
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:54.000
don't know what the right you know
to verify standing in that. Yeah?

91
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.160
No, no, no, I'm
fascinated by this. Dennis. Can you

92
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.879
be this favorite? Can we talk
off airon I'll get you back on air

93
00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.920
so you can make whatever case you
want to the people. But I just

94
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:06.360
want to see if there's a way
for us to use this experience to test

95
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.639
the system and try to get to
the bottom of just how high these verification

96
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:15.639
standards are. So, Kelly,
could you get Dennis's info and give him

97
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:19.759
my cell also so we can talk
off air. Yes, Mike, thank

98
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:23.360
you, Mike and Lakewood, you're
on the Dan Kaplis Show. Welcome.

99
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:29.399
Oh yeah, Hi, Dan.
I don't agree with you what he says,

100
00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.439
like Christians are supposed to love everybody, and you know, I hate

101
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:35.079
to stay in that center. But
at the same time, he's America and

102
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:38.759
his constitution, and he's had a
right to say what he wants to say.

103
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:42.519
And I've never heard of anybody it's
been Republicans, you know, back

104
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.560
up, somebody slimming gay people,
the gay people, the gauge in as

105
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.639
a gig governor, the Gate movement
into the whole town thing, disrespect anybody

106
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:56.519
other than themselves. All they do
is bass and make everybody look stupid,

107
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:01.279
family, stupid mom, and stupid
transaxals A great I mean, they're just

108
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.920
literally destroying our society with their opinion
and shoving in our face and then when

109
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.279
someone wants to bask to them and
then it's not back to what he did.

110
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.759
Everybody's all over this guy, Why
don't you know? I mean,

111
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:13.439
we could be all over the gays
all day long with what they're doing as

112
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:18.600
far as being stupid and being out
of line all day long, and nobody's

113
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.199
doing it. So I think the
society is too much respect for gay people

114
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.519
as a whole, and they want
to worry about offending gay people. Now

115
00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.399
when the Republicans are going to look
bad because one guy offended of the gay

116
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:35.240
people, I'm fine with it.
It's a dirty stop. It's a dirty,

117
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.679
sloppy war of words that we both
use and today use it to a

118
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:41.600
hundred times what we do. But
the one time we do it, we

119
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:45.919
want to hang and find the guy
that that does it. Where's you know,

120
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:48.919
where's our forgiveness? Where's their forgiveness? I don't hear them calling them

121
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.120
and complain about him. You know, you can talk all day long about

122
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.120
what someone wants to say and and
Serry's the Republican? Are you leader?

123
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.799
Wherever he is? Literally? But
I don't know. I give him a

124
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.799
couple of days. Maybe he'll call
you, and maybe you can talk to

125
00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:07.799
him, maybe you can go along
there. And I wouldn't mind he what

126
00:09:07.879 --> 00:09:11.200
he has to say. I'd love
to hear what he has to say.

127
00:09:11.200 --> 00:09:13.559
I think the reason we haven't been
able to get him on air is he

128
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.000
can't defend what he's done, Mike, because if somebody really cares about these

129
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:22.840
causes, because what you have is
is first of all, and when you

130
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.200
say gay people quote unquote, I
think that's way too broad because if you're

131
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:30.159
talking about the typical gay person,
do you know gay people, Mike,

132
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.840
I'm sure you do. I have
one, And so you probably have no

133
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.200
problem with that person, right,
No, not until it gets deep rooted

134
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:48.120
into their what they really think,
and bright until the conversation turns to politics.

135
00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.879
I get Thanksgiving dinner. You don't
have any problem with that person,

136
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.879
right, You don't sit around hating
on that person. You've got concerns on

137
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:58.759
a policy level. You want to
make sure that there's religious liberty, that

138
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:03.120
they're free speech, that parental rights
are protected, that the government is an

139
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:09.840
indoctrinating kids into a particular sexuality.
So you, like the rest of us,

140
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.879
have all these serious concerns. And
Mike and I can give you detail

141
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.480
after detail. There are all sorts
of serious people working on multiple levels every

142
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:24.120
single day to stand up to that
far left agenda. They're working through the

143
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.200
courts all the way up to the
US Supreme Court, that they're working through

144
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:31.679
politics. They're doing everything they can
to win on these critical policy issues.

145
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:37.600
And then you get just a wild
eyed flamethrower like Dave who comes in and

146
00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:43.240
as party chairs, starts throwing the
hate word around, and all he does

147
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:48.759
is hand those political opponents a huge
victory and undermine the Republicans who are actually

148
00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.440
working to win on the policy issues. So it may be a short term

149
00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:58.120
sugar high for some to see Dave
throw these bombs, but it undermines the

150
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:01.759
cause. And it's all I'm so
hateful. I'm sure that's not who you

151
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:03.600
are, Mike, It's not who
I am. It's not who Republicans are.

152
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.320
You don't hate that family member.
But Dave wants to throw on the

153
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:13.960
hate words so he can get more
attention. That's awful and extremely counterproductive,

154
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:28.399
a gift to the opponents, flines
and text on fire as they should be.

155
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.000
This is a seminole moment, right, I mean, the GOP in

156
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:35.000
Colorado is a tough slog as we
fight back against all the different forces aligned

157
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:39.720
against us. But that doesn't mean
we can just give up. And right

158
00:11:39.759 --> 00:11:43.679
now it's like a give up moment
when you've got Dave Williams doing these crazy

159
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:50.519
goofy things that undermine our causes and
the party. And the question is whether

160
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:54.159
enough folks in the party, the
Central Committee will rise up to just say,

161
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:56.480
hey, if we love you,
and I like Dave, but you

162
00:11:56.559 --> 00:12:00.600
cannot be our party chair. These
causes are more important than you. You

163
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:03.159
know, this state is more important
than you. Eight y five for zero

164
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.480
five eight two five five the number. So I want to get to those

165
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.639
calls and text. Here's a text, Dan, If you spend as much

166
00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:13.440
time talking about the liberal screw ups
as you do bashing our fellow conservatives,

167
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:18.320
we might actually win something. Texter, I wish you would call. The

168
00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.600
nice thing is these shows are all
on tape, right, and so the

169
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.039
percentage of time I spend bashing the
left to criticizing the right is probably ninety

170
00:12:28.120 --> 00:12:33.320
nine to one. And that's deserved
because I'm a truth teller, right Listen,

171
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:37.960
above all, I don't care what
Republicans think to me. A Democrats

172
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:41.679
are un affiliateds. I care about
what like that ultimate judge up there thinks

173
00:12:41.679 --> 00:12:45.440
of me. I try to be
a truth teller and I come on here

174
00:12:45.440 --> 00:12:46.600
every day and I turn that mic
on. And if you think I'm wrong

175
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.039
about something, as Prime says,
I ain't hard to find, you can

176
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.720
text me, you can call me, you can show me where I'm wrong.

177
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.960
So if you think I'm unfairly criticizing
Dave Williams, please tell me,

178
00:12:58.159 --> 00:13:01.080
but understand the and show me show
everybody back it up or pack it up.

179
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:07.519
But the reason, the reason right
now I'm speaking up is because if

180
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:13.000
you care about conservative causes, if
you care about conservative candidates winning, then

181
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.600
you must do whatever you can do
to try to assure that Dave Williams has

182
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:22.519
removed his chair, because right now, if he was trying to undermine our

183
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.159
candidates and our causes, how could
he do it any more effectively than what

184
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.720
he's been doing these last few weeks. So thank you for your text,

185
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:35.639
but please do call Dan. I
miss KBB Dan. That's the best analysis

186
00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:39.799
I've ever heard you give. Dan. Thank you so much. I now

187
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.559
know where you come from. Shame
on you again. Please do call the

188
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.759
show. I don't know whether you're
coming from the left or the right on

189
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.600
that or whatever. You can be
sure the left doesn't want me saying these

190
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:56.159
things. The left wants Dave Williams
to be party chair for life. That

191
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:00.879
Dave Williams right now is the biggest
gift to the left in color it has

192
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.480
ever received. Tammy and Aurora,
you're on the dan kaplas shall welcome.

193
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:13.679
Dan. I obviously don't am not
privy to these emails that you keep referring

194
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.240
to, and I'm not sure you
know how things rewarded except for the snippet

195
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:26.120
that you gave us, which in
which you said that Dave Williams said God

196
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:31.559
hates pride. So I went on
to the Twitter feed for both Dave Williams

197
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:37.960
Rep. And the Colorado GOP,
and what I see him saying is that

198
00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:46.799
he is speaking out against this ideology, not against any individuals like you know

199
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:52.759
you keep referencing the GAZE. I
don't think that that's what he's doing.

200
00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:58.960
And I agree with your previous caller
that the Colorado GOP is supposed to be

201
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:07.039
be about our freedoms and our liberties, and that includes free speech and one

202
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:16.279
more thing us giving back to the
left by our silence or oh that's okay,

203
00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.720
we'll get you next time has never
gotten us one inch, not one

204
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:28.279
So we haven't keep coming until they
get everything they want. And you think

205
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.600
this is the way to win,
Timmy, you think this is the way

206
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:33.759
to win. I think he's speaking
about the ideology, and I think it's

207
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:39.480
time we all start speaking up about
the way they that the left is ramming

208
00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.679
this down our throat. And I
do it every day on air a great

209
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.840
personal expense. But getting back to
my question, do you think this is

210
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:48.360
the way to win? It's not. And you're obviously a very smart,

211
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.879
articulate person, and you cannot make
the case that this is the way to

212
00:15:52.919 --> 00:15:56.039
win. And guess what. The
only way we get to stop the left

213
00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.440
from doing all these awful things that
they're doing to children in Colorado and doing

214
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:03.200
everybody in Colorado is to win.
This is the way to lose. But

215
00:16:04.159 --> 00:16:08.120
have you seen that the June third
email. It's not a tweet, it's

216
00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:14.679
an actual email sent by the Colorado
g That's why I started out by saying,

217
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:18.000
I haven't been proving to these specific
emails fair enough because you have a

218
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:25.720
normal life. Yeah, let me
reference that email Okay, first the email

219
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:29.679
quote god hates pride, But then
there's also, as I read it,

220
00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:33.360
and somebody correct me if I'm seeing
it wrong, there's also a video linked

221
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:37.120
where it says God hates flags,
which appears to be a thinly veiled reference

222
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.600
to that awful Westboro church, God
hates fags. And then, to relieve

223
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:47.000
any doubt, it goes on to
say, this email from the Colorado GOP,

224
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:49.879
the month of June has arrived and
once again the godless groomers in our

225
00:16:49.919 --> 00:16:55.399
society want to attack what is decent, holy and righteous so they can ultimately

226
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:02.320
harm our children. So can you
agree that thesage that's being received everywhere here

227
00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:07.440
and across the country is the Colorado
GOP hates gays. I mean you use

228
00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.160
that H word. That H word
is nuclear and that's the message that everybody's

229
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:18.599
receiving. No surprise. Well,
I think you're narrowing it down a little

230
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:22.279
too too small to say it's just
about the gaze, because we all know

231
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:29.319
that this movement, the LGBTQ movement, is not just about the gays.

232
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.119
Well, right, I think that
you know that's that's a mistake on our

233
00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:40.599
part to narrow it down to one
community. And by the way, did

234
00:17:40.599 --> 00:17:45.880
you know that there is a huge
movement within the gay community right now to

235
00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:52.640
separate from the LGBTQ and Timmy,
we want to be included in that.

236
00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.720
Yeah, and Timmy, we're losing
the connection. I have to this break.

237
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.400
But to your last point, this
is critical. Your point about LGBTQ

238
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.920
movement is not necessarily about the gays. There's no question in my mind that

239
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:10.720
the left is using this movement to
try to undermine religious liberty more broadly,

240
00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:18.279
undermine parental rights more broadly, undermine
First Amendment speech more broadly. And those

241
00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.079
are very very dangerous things, which
makes what Dave's doing even worse because we

242
00:18:22.119 --> 00:18:27.079
need to win on those policy issues, which means we need to win elections,

243
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:32.319
which means we need more people in
the republic Party. Who do you

244
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:36.759
think wants to join the Republican Party
now? After the GOP reed, Dave

245
00:18:36.839 --> 00:18:40.160
sends out an email like that and
represents us to be the party of hating

246
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:41.720
gays. Yeah, that's a way
to win, right, No, it's

247
00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:45.799
a gift to our opponents. These
issues are too important. We need to

248
00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:57.960
win. So this is the first
time I've said this, and for those

249
00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:03.319
hotel workers, people that get tips, You're going to be very happy because

250
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.319
when I get to office, we
are going to not charge taxes on tips

251
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:12.799
people making tips. Whether you like
the post or not, that that's the

252
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:17.880
Trump we know in love all the
fresh ideas, the different stuff. Nobody

253
00:19:17.960 --> 00:19:22.200
saw that coming, I'm sure Button. Oh my goodness, can you imagine

254
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:25.240
the reaction in his camp when they
heard that. I mean, and we'll

255
00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:29.279
get back to talking about that.
I think it's fascinating and it's going to

256
00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.039
help them tremendously. Hey, let's
go to the VIP line and happy to

257
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:37.200
welcome Jeff Herd back to the show. He's running for Congress in CD three,

258
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:41.359
which, as you probably know,
is a district Lauren Bobert is representing

259
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.599
currently, but now she's running in
the CD four race. Jeff, welcome

260
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:48.000
back to the Dan Kapla Show.
Hey, Dan, great to be here.

261
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:51.920
Well, thank you my friend.
Since we last chatted, I think

262
00:19:51.920 --> 00:19:55.480
I saw a poll come out and
the poll had you way ahead, but

263
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:59.720
a whole bunch of people undecided.
Was I reading that right? That's right.

264
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.880
It's an encouraging poll. It shows
we've got strong fundamentals, but it

265
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:04.279
also shows us a long ways to
go, and we got to keep our

266
00:20:04.319 --> 00:20:07.640
foot on the gas. Yeah,
and not too long right. June twenty

267
00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:12.359
five, fifteen days, two two
weeks from tomorrow. Oh my lord,

268
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:17.359
I bet you can't wait funch time. I bet you cannot plait. But

269
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:19.960
so for those who weren't with us
last time. And by the way,

270
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:23.359
all of the candidates are welcome on
this show, of course, tell us

271
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:27.720
a little bit about yourself. Sure, So, I am a Cauroro native.

272
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:32.759
I grew up here on the Western
Slope, family man, five kids,

273
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:37.599
been married to my wife for it'll
be nineteen years in about three weeks.

274
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:42.920
I have spent my professional career helping
rural Colorado, primarily rural electric cooperatives,

275
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.599
and not a career politician, hardworking, authentic. And I'm the guy

276
00:20:47.640 --> 00:20:51.279
that's going to beat Adam Fish in
the November election. Boy, and I

277
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:53.200
think there are a lot of Democrats
who believe you're going to beat him as

278
00:20:53.240 --> 00:20:59.519
well. But Jeff, this primary, how many candidates are in the primary

279
00:20:59.559 --> 00:21:03.640
right now? There are six candidates
in the primary as you're out there right

280
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:10.039
now. Is it what we would
expect right now? Immigration, inflation,

281
00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:12.319
et cetera. Is that topping the
list of concerns, or is there some

282
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:17.759
sleeper issue out there. Nope,
that's it. They's securing the border is

283
00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.440
issue number one. So energy in
dependence is something that's big here in southern

284
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.200
and western Colorado. And then protecting
water, n egg, those are the

285
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:26.200
core issues. That's what I hear
about, and that's what I'm going to

286
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:32.000
fight for and for those who are
still and I gather from that poll and

287
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:36.720
an awful lot of people who are
familiar with the candidates prefer you. But

288
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:41.519
obviously there are a bunch who aren't
familiar with any of you yet. Beyond

289
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.000
the obvious bio points, what is
it about you? What is it about

290
00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.599
what you've done in your life,
maybe beyond your children and your wife,

291
00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:55.839
your proudest moment. Tell people something
they haven't heard about you that shows them

292
00:21:55.880 --> 00:22:00.839
the real you. Well, I'm
the guy that's hardest to keep your electricity

293
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:06.640
bills low, and so if you
care about keeping your the cost of electricity,

294
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:08.440
the cost of energy low, I'm
your guy. That's what I've spent

295
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:12.720
my career doing, representing rural electric
cooperatives up and down the Western Slope,

296
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:18.359
trying to fight bad government regulations,
that increase the cost of your electric bill

297
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:21.839
every month. That's kind of the
core thing. So if you care about

298
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:23.359
those things, if you care about
low cost energy, low cost food,

299
00:22:25.359 --> 00:22:26.799
you know, saving at the grocery
store, saving at the gas pump.

300
00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:30.880
That's what I've dedicated my career to
professionally, and that's what I've been doing

301
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:36.440
Washington, is help you save money
and lower your cost of living. And

302
00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:38.440
if you're looking for somebody that's fought
in his career doing that, and we'll

303
00:22:38.440 --> 00:22:41.640
do that for you in Congress,
Jeff Hurd is your guy? Is there

304
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:47.799
something from your life, your personal
life, just some moment in your life

305
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:52.599
that you know shows the best of
your character or might really sum you up

306
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:56.599
for folks. You know, one
thing I think people are surprised to hear

307
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:00.640
about me is actually I did not
have any plans to ever go into politics.

308
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.759
I was actually studying to be a
priest, to believe it or not,

309
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.000
And so that's about as far from
politics as as yet I thought I

310
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:11.880
was going to give it in.
It just goes to show you never know

311
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.079
where life is going to bring in, where God's going to bring in.

312
00:23:14.920 --> 00:23:18.279
I say that now as a dad
of five kids, and so you know,

313
00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:22.599
I'm definitely far away from where I
expected to be. But you know,

314
00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:25.480
God calls you to places that you
don't always expect, and here I

315
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:29.160
am. See it's interesting because I
was on track for the priesthood as well

316
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:32.400
and was sure I was going to
go back. What is it that changed

317
00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.720
that path for you? At first? I didn't know that, Dan,

318
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.160
That's that's awesome, Okay, you
and I have that in commons. I

319
00:23:38.279 --> 00:23:45.920
met my now wife at a yes
at a conference, and next thing I

320
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:48.680
knew I was on the path to
getting married. So yeah, yeah,

321
00:23:48.880 --> 00:23:52.079
that's you never know what and those
of you that are never aren't quite sure

322
00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.119
what your path is in life.
You never know what God is going to

323
00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:56.480
show you. So that's exactly what
happened to me, and it sounds like

324
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.799
to you too, Dan. Yeah, I know, very very true,

325
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.359
and mine was a little bit different
twist, but I knew it when it

326
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:07.440
happened. I've just been fixated on
that path, was sure that's where I

327
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.839
was going, but then understood there
was a different intent. Hey, what's

blowing up as we talk about whether Dave

335
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:48.319
Williams should be removed as party chair. I know the calls from some are

336
00:24:48.319 --> 00:24:52.400
for his resignation, but we all
know Dave isn't going to resign. Dan

337
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.440
quit telling people they are wrong.
Thanks. It would be a very short

338
00:24:56.480 --> 00:25:02.160
show, right, including myself when
I'm I say it. But I think

339
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:03.680
the whole point of this show is
to tell the truth right, and then

340
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.720
if I am wrong, people have
every opportunity to point it out. Think

341
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:11.440
about that. Unlike all these politicians, people in office, everything else.

342
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.200
Shannon, you know it. Shannon
Scott would have the best show on Eric,

343
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.000
except he doesn't want to be in
front of the mic. But you've

344
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:22.000
been doing this how many years now? It's ninety three? What is ninety

345
00:25:22.039 --> 00:25:25.079
three? So we came in at
about the same time. I think it

346
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.200
was ninety one for me the Clarence
Thomas hearings. But yeah, I mean

347
00:25:29.640 --> 00:25:33.359
there's no censor back there, right, I mean, Kelly is Saddam could

348
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:37.319
call and she'd put him on what
should break some news? Right she would

349
00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:42.160
say, sir, I'm having a
very hard time understanding. See, that's

350
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:48.039
what I mean. If Shannon Scott
would sit in front of this microphone every

351
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:52.559
day, I would probably quit my
job to listen to your show. Right,

352
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:55.240
well, I wouldn't have a job
because you'd take this show or any

353
00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:57.839
other show you wanted. No,
guy's hilarious. But that's the point is

354
00:25:57.960 --> 00:26:03.160
if I'm wrong on some thing,
Texter, everybody in the world has an

355
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:07.599
open door to come in and show
it. So you got to speak the

356
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:11.359
truth, and the truth means talking
about who's right and who's wrong. Ah

357
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.559
Dan, It's amazing to me.
Dave Williams actually considers himself a Christian.

358
00:26:15.559 --> 00:26:19.200
I guess he's qualified to cast the
first stone. Mike and Henderson, Listen.

359
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:26.880
I don't. I don't get into
that for anybody. Listen. I'm

360
00:26:26.920 --> 00:26:30.000
so focused on my own flaws when
it comes to who's a good this or

361
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:36.000
who's a good that. You know
what I'm talking about? Is when somebody

362
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:42.960
as party chair uses God as a
sword to attack their opponents or to attack

363
00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:48.279
those in the party who question what
he's doing, while at the same time,

364
00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:57.160
in my opinion, he's misusing the
faith, He's undermining the causes through

365
00:26:57.200 --> 00:27:02.240
the tactics he's employing. That's what
I don't like. In terms of whether

366
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:06.240
Bobby or Billy or anybody else is
a good Christian or a good Catholic or

367
00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:10.799
a good Jew or whatever. I
never address that. That's I'm the last

368
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:14.880
person on the planet qualified to talk
about that, you know. I'm just

369
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:19.839
talking about what somebody's doing as party
chair when they go out and put up

370
00:27:19.839 --> 00:27:26.200
a message like God hates flags,
which is I think a thinly veiled reference

371
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:33.160
to the horrific God hates fags of
that awful Westboro Church, and you know,

372
00:27:33.319 --> 00:27:37.240
God hates pride in this and that
it's just an associating God with hate

373
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:45.400
in a political context like this just
just kind of painting Republicans as haters,

374
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.680
which is so fundamentally unfair. Think
about it. You probably know a lot

375
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:52.240
of people in the GOP. You
may be in it yourself. I know

376
00:27:52.279 --> 00:27:55.839
a lot of people in the GOP. If you do you know they are

377
00:27:55.880 --> 00:27:59.680
not haters, They are the opposite
of that. But people outside the GOP

378
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.240
all the knows the stereotypes. So
all Dave's doing is feeding that awful,

379
00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.920
unfair, dishonest stereotype and handing the
left a gift. No, no,

380
00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:12.160
it's it's time for a change.
But those who disagree will take you first

383
00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:33.119
and text have been exploding, especially
the text in Fuego Dan. If the

384
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.000
Central Republican Committee does not remove Dave
Williams, and I will remove myself and

385
00:28:37.039 --> 00:28:40.720
all my financial support from this party. This man has broken party rules,

386
00:28:40.759 --> 00:28:42.799
He ruins a reputation, and he
must be outed. That is the only

387
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:45.480
way I have to speak to the
party as my membership. If they will

388
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.720
not listen, I will not speak
to them anymore. Text Obviously, I

389
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:53.039
have no idea who this texture is
or what they contribute to the party,

390
00:28:53.200 --> 00:28:59.400
et cetera. In terms of and
I agree obviously that Dave should not be

391
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.359
the party share anymore. At this
point, his actions have the effect of

392
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.200
helping the opponents tremendously and making the
GOP look bad. I don't know of

393
00:29:07.240 --> 00:29:11.480
any party rules that Dave's broken,
though I think Dave has had been behind

394
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:18.519
rule changes that allow things that don't
make any sense, such as for the

395
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.240
GOP to endorse in primaries. I
thought the job of the GOP was to

396
00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:26.440
provide a level playing field so the
candidates could do it out in a primary

397
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:30.160
and the voters could make the choice. But I don't know that he's broken

398
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:33.359
any party rules. I just think
he's done a lot of things that undermine

399
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:38.559
the causes, undermine the party,
undermine our candidates, and help the left

400
00:29:40.039 --> 00:29:44.480
win, which goes to I've had
a number of texts along these same lines.

401
00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:49.839
I'll paraphrase it, Dan, Dave
Williams has infiltrated the GOP. Now

402
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:55.079
he's trying to undermine or destroy the
GOP from inside. You said he used

403
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:56.279
to be a Democrat. I think
he still is. No, forgive me,

404
00:29:56.440 --> 00:30:00.279
I used to be a Democrat.
I'm not saying Dave Williams, so

405
00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:03.720
what's effort a democrat? Not at
all. And we've had a number of

406
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.799
Texters say, hey, do you
think he's like Ken Buck? Now?

407
00:30:07.799 --> 00:30:10.680
Do you think he's trying to help
the left. No, I don't,

408
00:30:10.920 --> 00:30:15.119
not at all. I think Dave's
a very smart guy. I enjoyed Dave.

409
00:30:15.599 --> 00:30:21.359
I think on some level Dave must
understand right that that he is helping

410
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:26.279
the left here and hurting the causes
that he says he believes in. But

411
00:30:26.400 --> 00:30:30.599
maybe he doesn't. Maybe he doesn't. Maybe he's just so close to this

412
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:37.079
now and so focused on his own
election and attracting attention to himself that maybe

413
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:42.039
that's he's he's just completely missing this
bigger picture right now. Eight F five

the number textda N five seven seven thirty

415
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.680

intent is, the effect is obvious.

416
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:55.400
Right. He's undermining the cause is
he's undermining our candidates. He's making it

417
00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:59.160
much harder to win now and into
the future, and he's helping the left

418
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:03.359
win. That's a pretty bad cocktail
where I come from. Kevin in Beautiful

419
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:07.720
Boulder, you're on the Dan Kaplis
show. Welcome. Speaking of God,

420
00:31:07.880 --> 00:31:14.680
I said, speaking of God,
Yes, I'm in favor of what Trump

421
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:21.680
proposes with getting rid of the income
tax for certain people, because in the

422
00:31:21.720 --> 00:31:26.839
Bible, God requires the gold and
silver standard, and the constitution requires a

423
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:32.480
gold and silver standard, but we
don't have that now because the banks created

424
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:37.359
and own the federal Reserve system.
So allow me to play this sounstitutional money

425
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.079
to tax and there is no constitutional
money to pay a tax with. Okay,

426
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:45.440
let me let me play the sound
for the folks who aren't familiar with

427
00:31:45.480 --> 00:31:48.599
what you're referring to. So this
is the first time I've said this.

428
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.759
And for those hotel workers and people
that get tips, you're going to be

429
00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.880
very happy because when I get to
office, we are going to not charge

430
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:01.839
taxes on tips people. And I
think, wow. So what do you

431
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:05.759
think of that underlying policy, Kevin? Do you have any thoughts on that

432
00:32:05.799 --> 00:32:08.279
separate apart from federal reserve, gold
standard, silver standard, et cetera.

433
00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:15.839
What do you think of the policy? Well, it plays favorites with certain

434
00:32:15.839 --> 00:32:20.319
people, unless he's going to apply
it to every worker, But in general,

435
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:23.319
I'm in favor of it because nobody
should pay an income tax in this

436
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:27.519
country. Okay, Kevin, have
you tried that? Have you tried that

437
00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:31.839
at home? Not pay an income
tax? I'm saying nobody should. Okay,

438
00:32:32.039 --> 00:32:37.200
Okay, everybody should have a big
tax revolt. And just refuse to

439
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.279
pay income bat you pay yours and
lawful for many reasons, but you pay

440
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:45.640
yours. No, I don't pay. I paid income tax. I'm seventy

441
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:51.759
four. I paid income fifty once
and that was nineteen seventy four, and

442
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:55.440
then you something like dollars did you
owe income tax in other years and you

443
00:32:55.559 --> 00:33:00.680
just didn't pay it? I didn't
owe tax at all for the reason I

444
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.480
just gave you. But I paid. But I didn't know that then,

445
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:10.480
Okay, So I paid fifty dollars
on income that I thought qualified for an

446
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:15.039
income tax in nineteen seventy four.
And were there other years when you know,

447
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:19.200
the government said that you owed income
tax, but you chose not to

448
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.960
pay The government never said anything,
okay about that? Okay, Kevin,

449
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:27.160
all right, I get it.
First of all, do not follow Kevin's

450
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.119
lead. Do not follow Kevin's advice. Follow the law. If you want

451
00:33:30.119 --> 00:33:37.000
to change the law, go change
the law. Right. Sorry. It's

452
00:33:37.039 --> 00:33:39.880
just frustrating to me when people won't
give a direct answer. And I appreciate

453
00:33:39.960 --> 00:33:44.119
Kevin listening. I hope he listens
forever. I hope he calls all the

454
00:33:44.160 --> 00:33:49.160
time. But let's give a direct
answer and follow the law, unless you

455
00:33:49.200 --> 00:33:53.359
don't like it, then change the
law. But wow, well, anyway,

456
00:33:54.839 --> 00:33:59.559
we'll continue to follow this story during
the week, you know, whether

457
00:34:00.359 --> 00:34:05.680
there's going to be more of a
movement to seek Dave's Ousters party chair.

458
00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:12.480
But I think what's most critical ultimately
is that people just speak up against this.

459
00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:15.440
You know, it's not personal.
Again, I really like the guy,

460
00:34:15.480 --> 00:34:17.199
and he's always welcome here, and
we've had a lot of great conversations.

461
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:22.519
But Dave is doing so much to
harm the causes right now, so

462
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:25.000
much that has the effect of helping
the other side so much. That's just

463
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:30.039
flat wrong. I just think it's
very important for everybody to go on record

464
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:35.840
on this. It just shouldn't be
ignored at this point. Tomorrow we'll be

465
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:37.320
following. You know that you would
think, in the normal course sense,

466
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:42.559
it appears to be an absolutely slam
dunk case that Hunter Biden would be convicted

467
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.599
tomorrow on these charges. For the
reasons I've talked about. I think that

468
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:50.559
Joe Biden is probably pulling very hard
for a Hunter Biden conviction. I think

469
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:53.800
the whole Biden clan is pulling hard
for a Hunter Biden conviction so they can

470
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:57.960
then say oh, you got your
pound of flesh. Everybody's equal under the

471
00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:01.599
law. And hey, what about
those tax evasion charges that then start to

472
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:06.079
get into the money, like where
did Hunter get that money and why did

473
00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.519
he have that money? Was it
to buy influence through Joe? Yeah,

474
00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:14.679
they want to distract and deflect.
Probably the best thing that could happen to

475
00:35:14.679 --> 00:35:19.000
Trump would be for Hunter Biden to
be acquitted tomorrow, but expect a conviction.

476
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.400
Thank you Shannon Scott, Thank you, Kelly. Join us tomorrow.
