What 8 00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:30.839 I do is I set the table for Dan Caplis, and then he serves 9 00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.679 the meal and typically the handoff what happened right now, but we were talking 10 00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.359 earlier today. He's got some stuff going on at the law firm, and 11 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:41.880 we're gonna fill in the gaps until Dan gets here, which should be no 12 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.000 later than four thirty six, so it'll be the third segment of this hour. 13 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:50.200 In the meantime, it is Kelly Couchera's birthday, and for all of 14 00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:52.920 you listeners out there, if you want to wish her a happy birthday, 15 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.520 send those messages along to five seven seven three nine Start him Dan, but 16 00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:00.920 include the word Kelly and we'll make sure those get through to her. Also, 17 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:03.359 if you want to call and wish her a happy birthday, she is 18 00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:07.640 on the phones. That is her job. One eight five five four zero 19 00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:12.120 five eight two five five. It's eight five five four ought five eighty two 20 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:18.439 fifty five. Now. I was anchoring about four hours solid of election night 21 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.000 coverage last night for the Tuesday Colorado primaries, and as luck would have it, 22 00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:25.879 we got right up until the last segment. Wasn't sure if we're going 23 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:30.840 to hear from the fourth Congressional District primary winner, Representative Lauren Bobert, but 24 00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.280 she was able to dial in. I was able to have that conversation. 25 00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.879 I think you'll find it interesting. This is right in the wake of her 26 00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:41.120 victory and it was a very resounding win for her as she heads now to 27 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:46.599 the general election in November. The victorious Representative Lauren Bobert, winner in the 28 00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:52.640 fourth Congressional District primary, branded a firebrand by ABC News tonight. Lauren, 29 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:57.480 welcome to it, Ryan. It is so great to be on with you 30 00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:01.040 this evening, and you know, it was an all to celebrate this victory 31 00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:06.920 that belongs to the voters of Colorado's Sports District. We've heard a lot of 32 00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.240 turns attached to you. Do you like firebrand? Is that accurate? I? 33 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.719 You know, I think Firebrand is just fine. You know, Mac 34 00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:19.159 Gaates is the Firebrand and that's one of my greatest, strongest allies in Washington, 35 00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.280 d C. And I frequent his show Firebrand often. And if you 36 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:25.759 haven't tuned in, you know the listeners here, give it, give it 37 00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:30.039 a look, see sometimes, because that's where you're gonna get all the intricate 38 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:34.560 details of what goes on in Washington, d C. But Brian, it's 39 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:39.680 not about the names that are that I'm labeled with, because I, as 40 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:46.000 you know, am defined by what God calls me, what He has called 41 00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.960 me too. I am blood washed, blood bought, a daughter of the 42 00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:54.400 almighty God. And that is where I get my value, my strength, 43 00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:00.919 my joy, and my determination to stand for righteousness. In this time, 44 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.400 Laurence, you've been through a lot over this last year or so. I 45 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:08.039 mean, moving over from one district to another might be the least among them 46 00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:10.639 from the third to the fourth. You've been through a divorce, You've got 47 00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:15.879 your five boys, you've relocated them. Take us through just that personal journey 48 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.280 for you and what that's been like you know, I mean, life is 49 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.800 a journey, but I try to enjoy it as much as I can. 50 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:28.639 And as I as I just said, I have the joy of the Lord. 51 00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.080 That is my strength. That's what keeps me motivated, that's what keeps 52 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:36.400 me moving forward. And you know, my boys are just in such a 53 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:39.479 much better place. Tonight. I was able to catch the beginning of one 54 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:46.800 of my son's baseball games before we went to the Greenhouse and Windsor to watch 55 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:51.840 the results come in. And my boys are flourishing, they're happy. I 56 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:54.159 think, I mean, it's an understatement to say that everyone goes through tough 57 00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:59.520 times in life. It's just a matter of is it going to bring you 58 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:03.360 down? Be your downfall and your defeat. And I think there's been much, 59 00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:12.080 there's been too much that has been bought for paid for for us to 60 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:17.639 live in victory, to be defeated and have that victim mentality and a mindset 61 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:23.360 of and things are never going to get better. So I look at every 62 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:29.839 new day with new opportunities, and yes, life there there's been some struggles, 63 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.519 but I hope that I have gained strength and wisdom and knowledge through them. 64 00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.839 I hope I can apply that knowledge that I've learned going forward in life 65 00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:43.319 and continue to grow and help the people that are around me. I mean, 66 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.120 after all, Brian, I'm from the federal government and I'm here to 67 00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:53.040 help. I like that Representative Lauren Bobert joining us. That was very tongue 68 00:04:53.079 --> 00:04:57.319 in cheek, But just this move, Lauren. I talked with Floyd Cerulei 69 00:04:57.399 --> 00:05:00.120 earlier, and he's been involved in Colorado politics, dating by about forty years. 70 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:04.319 It is unusual. It's not really a standard for somebody to go from 71 00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:08.160 one district to another. Yet you were able to do this, and you 72 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:11.279 were able to do it in a primary field that was packed with talent, 73 00:05:11.879 --> 00:05:15.160 and you almost lapped the field forty three percent as it stands right now, 74 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.319 your closest competitor Jerry Sonnenberg at about fifteen percent. What was the secret to 75 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:25.800 your success in this race? Well, it's no secret. It takes hard 76 00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:30.399 work. And you know, I obviously had the President Trump's endorsement. I 77 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:34.199 spoke to him tonight and I reiterated how grateful I am to receive that, 78 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.759 but I also told him I knew that I had to put in the work 79 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:45.160 to earn this victory. Tonight. And that's exactly what I did this year 80 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.399 in CD four and what I've done in previous years. I've been fighting for 81 00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:55.759 all of Colorado since before I even considered running for office, and that's just 82 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:59.120 something that I'm going to continue to do. But it is that work, 83 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:03.800 in those connections with the voters, the relationships that are built, that is 84 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.120 the most precious part of my job. And if anyone thinks that they can 85 00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:15.319 just be be dubbed victorious or treat an election like a coronation, or say, 86 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.879 because I have this endorsement or that endorsement, I have to have your 87 00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:25.600 vote, then they've got it all wrong, because this is a victory for 88 00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:30.279 the voters. This is who they want representing them. They have seen my 89 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:31.560 voting record. They know that I'm going to stand for them, that I'm 90 00:06:31.600 --> 00:06:34.680 going to fight for them, that I'm going to deliver for them. And 91 00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:40.759 I'm glad that they were able to see through the lives that were that were 92 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:46.920 said, and of course just stories that were exaggerated or stories that folks won't 93 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:49.399 allow to die or go away or have to mention it, you know, 94 00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:53.959 as they get their clicks. This is this is all about putting in that 95 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:59.079 effort and building those relationships, because without relationship, where are we? What 96 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:03.199 are we? We saw in twenty twenty that the Democrats want to separate us. 97 00:07:03.240 --> 00:07:08.560 They do not want us to assemble because they understand there's power in our 98 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.399 unity. When we are unified, there is nothing that can stop us, 99 00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.279 nothing that can slow us down or hold us back. And so right now 100 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:21.360 I want all of my opponents, all of the candidates in the CD four 101 00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:26.879 racer in this year, to unify, and I want to work with them. 102 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.759 I spoke with Commissioner Jerry Sonnenberg. He was the first one to call 103 00:07:30.800 --> 00:07:34.360 me with a very precious, sincere phone call. I let him know what 104 00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.079 an honor was to get to know him, his heart, his faith, 105 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:42.480 his vision, and that I look forward to working with him in the future. 106 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.240 And you know, he had some very kind words to say, and 107 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:50.720 just an amazing man of strength and character. But this is what we need 108 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:56.879 right now. We don't need a UNI party to run us and excuse or 109 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:05.160 regulate or legislate or are right away. We need a unified Republican party that 110 00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:11.480 puts America first, puts her people first, and will not relent. And 111 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:15.319 that's what the voter's here in the district wanted, and I am honored to 112 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.079 have the opportunity to prove to them that that's something that I will fight for 113 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:24.399 and provided every opportunity. Representative Lauren Bobert joining us as we close out our 114 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:28.959 coverage here toward the top of the hour, kind enough to spend some moments 115 00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.120 with us. And more good news for you, Lauren, and that is 116 00:08:31.159 --> 00:08:37.399 Greg Lopez wins the special election and he will be in that seat from now 117 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.440 until when you, presumably if you win in November, are ready to take 118 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:45.080 the baton from him. Now. He just defeated Tricia Calvarese, and it 119 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.639 looks like she is going to win the Democratic primary and be your opponent in 120 00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:56.720 November. How do you replicate his win against her in November yourself? Yes, 121 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:03.360 well, I'm so thankful that the voters elected president or Congressman Greg Lopez 122 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:09.720 to finish out ken Buck's term, that he abandoned voters to resign and and 123 00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:15.039 do his own thing. I'm just so happy that he's going to be up 124 00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.519 there with me, you know. I know that he's going to legislate as 125 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.879 though he was the congressman for the fourth district for an entire term, and 126 00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:28.399 I have pull confidence in him. I'm very excited that he won. And 127 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:33.679 also, you know, with this Democrat race, it's I will treat it 128 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.320 like a race because that's what it is, and the voters deserve that. 129 00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:43.039 However, this is a Republican district. If they do not want a socialist, 130 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:46.879 they do not someone who you know, has all the right talking points 131 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:50.519 or will pretend to be a moderate when we know exactly how Democrats act when 132 00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:54.720 they get to Washington, DC, and worse, how they vote. And 133 00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.399 so this is a Republican district. I will continue to work hard. I 134 00:09:58.399 --> 00:10:01.919 will continue to put in a miles, continue to build relationships and fight hard 135 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.799 for not just the fourth district, but also the third district which I currently 136 00:10:07.879 --> 00:10:11.919 represent and I'm currently working for and delivering for, and all of Colorado. 137 00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.039 We are all so precious and we've got to take our state back desperately. 138 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.840 So I'm not worried about November, of course, Ryan, you know, 139 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.919 all of the left wing media will try to find some thin with this victory. 140 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.039 Oh she didn't win by enough, Oh this, oh that, and 141 00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:33.679 she's in major trouble. Now there's some push pull that the Democrats did with 142 00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:39.039 their own party, their own campaign, and Warren Bobert's going to lose to 143 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:41.879 them. You know, all of this nonsense that we know is coming our 144 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:45.919 way. So you know, I just encourage voters to guard their hearts against 145 00:10:45.960 --> 00:10:50.039 that, to see through the media, see through the political tactics, and 146 00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.519 cling to truth because right now that is something that's lacking in our country and 147 00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:00.440 that we need to strive to adhere to once again. So I'm honored to 148 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.960 be in this. We are going to win November fifth. No headline is 149 00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.399 going to scare me or to cheer me from that. And more importantly, 150 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:13.440 we need President Trump back in the White House. Final question, Lauren, 151 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.600 appreciate your time. People voted for you, and we heard from some of 152 00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.840 them tonight because they know who you are. What you see is what you 153 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:24.840 get. You're the genuine article. Washington hasn't changed you. It changed ken 154 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.960 Buck. Why has it not changed you? I can't say why it changed 155 00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:31.480 him Buck. I can tell you, Ryan, maybe I've said it before 156 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:37.039 to you or to your listeners at least that ken Buck still has my favorite 157 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:39.519 political book during the swamp, and it taught me a lot about Washington, 158 00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:43.200 DC, and how corrupt it really is even within our own party and our 159 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:48.440 own party leadership at times. And I was prepared for Washington, DC because 160 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.159 of his writings. And I'm not sure what happened with him. I can't 161 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:56.200 speak to that directly. I've tried to figure it out. I don't have 162 00:11:56.200 --> 00:12:01.639 an answer, but I can say that I am focused on on the people 163 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:07.799 of Colorado and America, that I have God guiding my way. And uh, 164 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.720 if if you, if if you are persistent and and uh on the 165 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.679 word of God and for truth and righteousness, then you will you will be 166 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:24.120 right. And in every instance and and every and every term of the phrase 167 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.799 like that. That is something that is so important right now to to focus 168 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:35.879 on. I you know, when when struggles come to my life personally, 169 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.320 my first thought is always the people around me and how are they going to 170 00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:46.080 be affected. I am in a position to bring levity to American citizens, 171 00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:52.519 to Colorado's and I never want any of my actions to be burdensome on them 172 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.840 or or uh bring gravity to the situation. Uh So, uh, they 173 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.600 are always my first thought. And you know, we have we have some 174 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:07.200 family priorities in the midst of that, and it's just an honor to serve 175 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.600 and to continues to be in this fight. Looking forward to President Trump being 176 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:15.200 in office so we can deliver even more victories for Colorado and beyond. And 177 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:18.639 a big victory for her tonight and the Republican primary by about thirty points. 178 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:22.559 As it stands right now, Lauren Bolbert will be the nominee in the fourth 179 00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:28.759 congressional district coming up on November fifth. Laura, congratulations once again on your 180 00:13:28.759 --> 00:13:33.639 big win tonight and best of luck going forward from here until November. Thank 181 00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:35.600 you so much. Ryan. Great to talk with you, and we'll talk 182 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:41.519 to you again soon and often. And enlightening conversation that I had last night 183 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:45.720 with Lauren Bolbert. A big win for her in that fourth congressional primary, 184 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:48.480 a field of six, she won by about thirty She was hovering right around 185 00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.360 forty three percent. And I think it's sent a very clear message, and 186 00:13:52.399 --> 00:13:54.879 I said this during my own program, as we go to break here and 187 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.799 Dan Kapla should be returning on the other side, and that is I think 188 00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.639 Lauren Bobert was the natural reaction and the pendulum swing to ken Buck. Ken 189 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.279 Buck abandoned his district. He went squish, he went rogue. People didn't 190 00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.879 know what to expect from him. And the thing that I heard time and 191 00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.320 again from Rob Dawson, who was on site at her gathering in Windsor, 192 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.799 was ken Buck abandoned us. He didn't fight for us. Lauren's going to 193 00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:22.720 fight for us, and I'm telling you that's why she won. Well, 194 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:26.039 take this time out, Dan caplis back. We hope after this break you're 195 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.720 listening to the Dan Capla Show and now back to the Dankaplass Show podcast. 196 00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:35.720 Well, it could be a big smile on the face of Republicans across the 197 00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:41.480 state of Colorado today, with the exception of a relatively small handful out there, 198 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:43.639 because last night, last night, I think is the day. If 199 00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.519 you're going to look back to one day, you're going to look back to 200 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:52.279 one day where the state of Colorado started to turn around for the Colorado Republican 201 00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:56.960 Party. I think you looked to yesterday and yesterday's results, I think they're 202 00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.399 enormous in a much much broader way than just the victory of a lot of 203 00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.960 good candidates. Last night. Eighty five four zero five A two five five 204 00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:07.279 the number text d A N five seven seven three nine. Can't wait to 205 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:11.240 hear from you. Thank you to Ryan Schulling for starting the show for me 206 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:13.320 today. And as you know about the last show, I would ever be 207 00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.600 late for us a show after election day, but there was something very pressing 208 00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.799 in my law practice. So thank you Ryan for covering that. And just 209 00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.120 a ten second aside, I'm telling you you talk about something that can bring 210 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:30.120 the people state of Colorado together. There is so much unnecessary killing and maiming 211 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.519 on our roadways right now. We have got to come together and just fight 212 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.320 back. It is an attack on our state by reckless drivers, reckless truckers, 213 00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.120 reckless drivers, and we got to really get tough and start protecting ourselves 214 00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:46.279 because stuff I see in my law practice, man, it is it is 215 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:48.759 just unforgivable what a lot of drivers are doing out there right now. And 216 00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:52.480 then all of a sudden, dad goes off to work in the morning and 217 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.799 they never see him again, you know, or they never see their child 218 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.200 again because some son of a bitch. Can I say that? But I 219 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.960 just did, you know, it decides that they're not going to stop at 220 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.559 that stop why, or they're going to get high and they're just going to 221 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:07.159 drive as fast as they want to know. We have got to fight back 222 00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.399 against that form of evil, and our traffic laws are way too gentle in 223 00:16:11.440 --> 00:16:15.360 this state. People are literally getting away with murder. Right back to the 224 00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:18.440 politics of this. I was going to start this show by saying what I 225 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:22.039 just said, and then by making the point that, hey, last night 226 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:26.440 is so important because it was such a thorough rejection of the people of the 227 00:16:26.480 --> 00:16:30.840 Republicans in Colorado. This is a Republican primary, and I understand you had 228 00:16:30.840 --> 00:16:34.720 some independence voting, but I don't think anybody's claiming this morning that independence caused 229 00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:38.679 the loss of Dave Williams or Ron Hanks or anything like that. So the 230 00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:45.759 Colorado GOP, the Republican voters in Colorado spoke loudly and clearly get rid of 231 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.159 that crap. Not the individuals. I mean. I like both individuals. 232 00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.080 I've never met Ron Hanks, I've met Dave. I like them both in 233 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.720 talking to them. I just disagree with their approach, and I think their 234 00:16:55.759 --> 00:17:00.080 approach undermines the causes we all care about and helps left, and we've talked 235 00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:03.880 about that on air. But I think you had a thorough rejection last night 236 00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:10.839 from the Republican voters in Colorado who guess what they want to win, and 237 00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:15.640 they want us to conduct ourselves as a people as a party in a manner 238 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:19.279 consistent with our morals and our ethics and our standards and the way we want 239 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.240 to be viewed as individuals and the way we want to be viewed as as 240 00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:26.599 a party. And it sure as hell does not include hate. You know, 241 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:30.759 there's only one Donald Trump, and I love him and I hope he 242 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.200 gets a second term. But everybody out there has tried to be a minimi 243 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:37.279 and pull off their own thing. Only Trump has been able to do Trump 244 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:41.160 and the other people who try to impersonate that have just hurt themselves in the 245 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:47.319 party. So a big, big message last night, and the fact that 246 00:17:47.359 --> 00:17:53.960 the Colorado GOP made the horrendous decision to start endorsing candidates in primaries just as 247 00:17:55.039 --> 00:18:00.480 part of this awful overall approach to things. I'm so glad that most of 248 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.720 those candidates lost. No offense to the individuals involved, But the Colorado GOP 249 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:10.200 should be providing a level playing field in primaries. It should not be out 250 00:18:10.240 --> 00:18:12.920 there trying to put their thumb on the scale. So a very important step 251 00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.960 forward last night and then we get this for immediate release. Republican State Central 252 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:26.359 Committee calls for a special meeting to consider ousting the chairman. So I'll come 253 00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.480 back. I'll get you those details. Do you think he is going to 254 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.559 be removed? Should he be? You're on the Dan Kaplas Show. You're 255 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.160 listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. I know that's meant for Kelly, 256 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:41.400 and it's well deserved for her mom. And that's the funny thing is, 257 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:42.960 you know, we all we get celebrated on our birthdays. It should be 258 00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:47.240 our moms. I mean, what did we do on our birthdays? Okay, 259 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:51.480 time for rojes, you know. But Kelly, we're celebrating you. 260 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.920 But I like the broader meaning of that song today, which is it is 261 00:18:55.519 --> 00:19:00.400 it is the birthday of the Colorado Republican Party. This is the rebirth of 262 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.880 the Colorado Republican Party today, and it will win again. It will win 263 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.880 again statewide. And I've got a very concrete path to victory in mind. 264 00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:11.839 But it started with last night, which was enormous, and you're seeing the 265 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.920 effects of that already. I want to read this to you. This is 266 00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:23.119 a for immediate release State Republican Central Committee calls for a special meeting two Chairman 267 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:30.200 Dave Williams c C State Republican Executive Committee and Republican State Central Committee pursuant to 268 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.279 CRC Bylaws Article seven, Section D three. Attached are the signatures of over 269 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:40.400 twenty five percent of the Colorado Republican State Central Committee, who hereby requests that 270 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:44.640 you call a special meeting for the purpose of a vote on the removal of 271 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.119 Chairman of the State Republican Party. We request that the special meeting be held 272 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:55.559 in person with closed paper ballot voting, on a Saturday and at an acceptable 273 00:19:55.599 --> 00:20:00.440 time and play so all SCC members will be able to attend. Please respond 274 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.920 within the ten days prescribed by or by laws to call a special meeting no 275 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:08.039 later than thirty days of this letter. Sincerely, Todd Watkins, State Central 276 00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:14.960 Committee. Remember we're trying to get mister Watkins on the show, so your 277 00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.640 take, should Dave Williams now be removed? Do you think Dave Williams should 278 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.799 resign? Do you think Dave Williams will resign? We'll start with that eight 279 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:26.000 five five four zero five eight two five to five. The number texts d 280 00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:32.720 an five seven seven three nins. So this goes back to the rebirth of 281 00:20:32.759 --> 00:20:34.880 the Colorado GOP last night. One thing I want to make clear is for 282 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:40.680 those who say, oh, Dan, you're just being a rhino An establishment 283 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:45.000 guy. You don't respect the grassroots, I am grassroots and I have so 284 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:51.599 much respect for the grassroots people in the trenches all over Colorado and people who 285 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:56.000 aren't familiar with the Republican Party and the people who make the Republican Party actually 286 00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:59.480 go each and every day, which are the grassroots in the trenches, many 287 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:06.000 of whom be described as as far right conservatives, which is a compliment based 288 00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:10.359 upon who they actually are. There is an enormous difference, in my opinion, 289 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.279 between the vast majority of people who would be described as far right in 290 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.920 Colorado and Dave Williams. And here's what it is, and it's not personal. 291 00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.000 I'd like Dave personally, but I don't like people who hide, and 292 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.839 I don't like leaders who hide. And Dave Williams makes himself up to be 293 00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:26.400 so big and bad and tough and such a leader, Well, where the 294 00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:30.240 hell are you? You know, the people at Colorado deserve an explanation for 295 00:21:30.400 --> 00:21:37.519 crap like sending out on behalf of all Colorado Republicans hate email. You know, 296 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:42.039 God hates flags, which I think, my constitutionally protected opinion is a 297 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:48.039 thinly disguised parroting of the evil and awful Westboro Baptist Church. God hates fags 298 00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.880 and then the burn all Pride flags in June. That's not who we are 299 00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:55.240 as a people. But if you're going to do that as a leader, 300 00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.279 because you say you're such a tough guy, then come on the show. 301 00:21:57.839 --> 00:22:03.000 There has been no friendar place for Colorado Republicans for the last thirty years than 302 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:07.920 this show. And Dave Williams can't come on this show to explain to the 303 00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:12.720 people of Colorado, the Republicans, why he depicted them that way. He 304 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:18.119 owes it to the people to explain that to him. And you tell me 305 00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.519 last night, Ryan, David cal who is as nice and professional reporter as 306 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:25.119 you ever gonna find that David was down in the springs trying to find Dave 307 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.519 Williams and couldn't get a whiff. It was a wild goose chase. It 308 00:22:27.640 --> 00:22:30.920 was something else. It was like where's Waldo? He tried a couple different 309 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:37.400 locations. I guess Dave Williams ended up having a very small private gathering. 310 00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:38.759 But to your point, Dan, it's bigger than that. You are the 311 00:22:40.039 --> 00:22:42.759 chair in the face of the Republican Party. You got to come out front 312 00:22:42.799 --> 00:22:47.319 and own it when you lose, and he lost big lee to Jeff crank 313 00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:52.279 Well and own what you did when you sent those email on behalf of all 314 00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:56.759 Republicans in Colorado wrongly depicting them as haters. You know, you have to 315 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:00.799 stand up and explain that. But he wouldn't. He wanted to keep sending 316 00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:03.839 surrogates, all of whom I respect. But that's my point. For those 317 00:23:03.880 --> 00:23:07.880 of you who don't know, you know the actual grassroots people in Colorado who 318 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:14.279 would be described as far right, hardcore whatever. They are strong people, 319 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:19.799 they are tough people. They work hard. They are doers, not talkers, 320 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:26.599 and they're the opposite of haters. They have very strong beliefs about very 321 00:23:26.640 --> 00:23:30.039 important issues, and I respect to the end the way they do the hard 322 00:23:30.039 --> 00:23:33.960 work to fight for those issues. Dave Williams is the opposite. He's a 323 00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:40.920 talker, not a doer. He wants you to believe that throwing these bombs 324 00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:44.440 he wants you to be is somehow a sign of strength. He went and 325 00:23:44.599 --> 00:23:48.839 going and hiding is somehow a sign of strength. He wants you to believe 326 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:53.799 that hate equals toughness. It's the opposite of that. And so the vast 327 00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:57.960 majority of grassroots people who I believe supporting him, and I'm talking about that 328 00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:03.319 what other would describe as far right, and I admire their positions, that 329 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:07.240 they would that they would somehow admire what Dave is doing. No, that's 330 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:11.599 not who they are. They're doers, not talkers. They get things done 331 00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.720 in the trenches. What has Dave gotten done in the trenches. All he's 332 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:21.599 done is call attention to himself through these extreme statements and throwing bombs like burnal 333 00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.880 pride, flegs. Listen, we got very very serious issues when it comes 334 00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:30.720 to the radical, far left agenda of this administration to try to impose that 335 00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:37.160 far left radical you know, men in women's sports, men in women's bathrooms, 336 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:41.319 you know, undermining women, undermining parents, undermining religious liberty. These 337 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:47.640 are very serious policy issues that we need to win on and throwing the kind 338 00:24:47.680 --> 00:24:52.480 of hateful bombs Dave was throwing that only helps the opposition. So that's why 339 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.559 I think last night was so important, so important, and it's so great 340 00:24:56.559 --> 00:25:03.319 to see that at least twenty five percent of the Colorado Republican State Central Committee 341 00:25:03.759 --> 00:25:07.759 is moving to oust him. I have to believe that even before last night, 342 00:25:07.359 --> 00:25:11.279 there was going to be a lot more than twenty five percent voting for 343 00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:14.759 that ouster. Now, after last night, Ryan, I would love to 344 00:25:14.799 --> 00:25:18.279 hear from anybody, and I'm sure there are some fine people who at this 345 00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.279 point still support Dave's chair, But I'd love to hear the rationale, because 346 00:25:22.319 --> 00:25:26.279 after last night, if you want to win, after the antics Dave has 347 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:32.559 pulled that undermined the party, and the resounding rejection of Dave last night by 348 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:38.440 Republicans in his home district, how would he have the credibility, How would 349 00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:44.079 he have the ability to lead the Colorado GOP. So the only reason for 350 00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:47.640 him to hang on right now would be selfishness. And what I'd suggest to 351 00:25:47.720 --> 00:25:51.759 Dave is that would be a big mistake, because again, I like him 352 00:25:51.839 --> 00:25:55.519 personally. We've talked off air some, I've enjoyed him. He is, 353 00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.200 he's a young guy, he's thirty seven. You know, he could still 354 00:25:59.240 --> 00:26:02.799 have a very bright future ahead of him in politics if he you know, 355 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:07.319 I'm not saying adjust your position on issues. But you can't be taking this 356 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:11.319 hateful, firebombing approach and expect to advance the cause. You may gratify yourself 357 00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:15.359 in the moment, Oh look how big and bad I am, and maybe 358 00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:18.599 kind of like screen therapy, but you're only going to hurt the cause. 359 00:26:18.640 --> 00:26:22.599 But Dave Williams has a lot of time left, a lot of time left, 360 00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:27.119 have a lot of success in politics by just changing his approach. But 361 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:32.480 he's got to recognize right now he is a liability to the causes he claims 362 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:34.799 to care about. And so it's going to be a real test right now 363 00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:40.480 as to what he puts first. Is it these causes we all care so 364 00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:44.839 deeply about, or is it himself? So what do you think, Ryan, 365 00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:45.920 Do you think he resigns. Do you think he fights this? If 366 00:26:45.920 --> 00:26:48.880 he fights it, do you think he gets ousted. I think he's got 367 00:26:48.880 --> 00:26:52.279 too much pride on the line. It goes along with the narcissism that I 368 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.799 think he's exhibited in each of these maneuvers that make absolutely no sense from a 369 00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:02.039 pragmatic standpoint in building a winning coalition. It wasn't about that. It was 370 00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:04.559 always about him. I think it was about him sending out a signal to 371 00:27:04.640 --> 00:27:07.759 draw attention to himself. But Dan, he just lost by about a two 372 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:11.519 to one margin in a district that knows him best. As Dick Wadhams told 373 00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:15.920 me earlier, it's a complete repudiation. Out of eighteen endorsements, he offered 374 00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.759 up only four of those candidates, one including Lauren Bobert, by the way, 375 00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:22.359 and that was kind of a slam dum. And that wasn't because of 376 00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:26.599 the Republican Party endorsement though. She is a force of nature. And when 377 00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.279 we come back, I want to talk about her, right Ryan, because 378 00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:32.000 think about what she's just done. And I loved your interview with her, 379 00:27:32.039 --> 00:27:36.720 and I enjoyed your coverage last night very much. But Lauren Bobert, and 380 00:27:36.759 --> 00:27:41.799 this is such a beautiful thing to watch unfold. Congressoman Bobert has just completely 381 00:27:41.799 --> 00:27:48.599 outmaneuvered the entire left and so she was about to lose down in CD three 382 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.799 and the Republicans were going to lose a seat. And what's happened now is 383 00:27:52.880 --> 00:27:59.039 through through her and her maneuvering, Republicans are going to keep CD three. 384 00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.119 Democrats are going to waste fourteen million bucks in the process of losing CD three 385 00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.480 to Jeff Hurd, and Lauren Bobert is going to be congresswoman for life in 386 00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:12.160 CD four, So she has just completely oup maneuvered the left. It's a 387 00:28:12.200 --> 00:28:18.759 beautiful thing to behold. You're on the Dan Kapla Show and now back to 388 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:22.359 the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. Last night, that was the first step, 389 00:28:22.920 --> 00:28:26.640 first step, just you know, kind of getting the vehicle out there onto 390 00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.519 that highway to heaven for the Colorado GOP. Very important step last night for 391 00:28:30.559 --> 00:28:34.799 the reason we've been discussing. And then of course we're reading the call right 392 00:28:34.799 --> 00:28:40.839 now formal demand that the Republican Party Central Committee hold a vote on ousting Chair 393 00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.319 Dave Williams. They say they have twenty five percent of the committee on a 394 00:28:45.319 --> 00:28:48.920 petition to do that, so there will be a vote unless Dave resigns. 395 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.960 So we're talking about that, getting your take on whether you think he will 396 00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.640 or should resign, whether you think he'll be ousted. Much more to talk 397 00:28:56.680 --> 00:29:00.640 about as well. Obviously, we have maybe I think the most important debate 398 00:29:00.680 --> 00:29:03.480 of our lifetime tomorrow night. For the reasons we've discussed as well. We'll 399 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:06.880 go to the phone lines and text on that. But I do want to 400 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:11.480 give you this good news, this coming from Nate Silver. Now, Nate 401 00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:15.319 Silver's a lefty who wants Trump and every other Republican to lose. He's a 402 00:29:15.359 --> 00:29:21.039 respected pollster, and he just came out with his very first model for the 403 00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:26.240 twenty twenty four presidential and he gives Trump a sixty six percent chance of winning 404 00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.559 the presidential. His quote is that this is not a toss up. This 405 00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:36.279 is not a toss up race. Quote, but the race isn't a toss 406 00:29:36.359 --> 00:29:38.400 up. That's at best a white Liah, convenient fiction that allows everyone to 407 00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:45.960 sharek accountability for their forecast and decisions. And Silver was acclaimed in twenty twelve 408 00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.039 for correctly picking this and this and that and that. Anyway, he says 409 00:29:48.359 --> 00:29:53.400 Trump solidly ahead right now. Of course, we all know it's a nice 410 00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:57.480 sign and it's a good thing, but we know in the end Biden isn't 411 00:29:57.519 --> 00:30:03.319 going to be their nominee, so very soon all of the entire playing field 412 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:06.960 is going to be upended. But that's why Trump is going to benefit so 413 00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:10.720 much tomorrow night from the very good night I expect him to have, because 414 00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:14.359 it's not about Biden. He's a stage prop tomorrow night unless he freezes up, 415 00:30:14.400 --> 00:30:18.960 and then it's just over immediately. This is about undecided determining whether Trump 416 00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:23.079 is really not says the Democrats say, and he's not. And the Democrats 417 00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.480 have made out to be this cartoon character, this villain, which he is 418 00:30:26.599 --> 00:30:30.839 not. So that's one of many reasons Trump is going to have a good 419 00:30:30.960 --> 00:30:34.759 night tomorrow night. It's going to cause movement in his favor from people in 420 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:38.000 the middle, and it's going to put him in a great position against whoever 421 00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:41.279 the Dems put up. Stephen in Denver, you're on the dan kaplis sho'll 422 00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:48.960 welcome Sperry song to is spurry song tout comes, spurry tutu all. I 423 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:53.759 called to talk about the debate tomorrow. Yes, but the Highway to Hell 424 00:30:55.000 --> 00:31:02.039 lead in really made me think about this call. Rat Republican Party needs to 425 00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:08.440 get rid of Williams. Is he was he can't say the things he said, 426 00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:11.680 He just can't. Well, no, because you undermind the party. 427 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:17.200 But let's think about the positive man, think about what great shape the Colorado 428 00:31:17.279 --> 00:31:22.480 GOP is GOP isn't. After last night Jeff heard very high quality guy and 429 00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.039 candidate will be a great congressman. Crank is going to be a great congressman. 430 00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:30.359 Bobert is going to be congresswoman for life out of c D four. 431 00:31:32.440 --> 00:31:33.720 You know, George one, that DA's job. He's going to do a 432 00:31:33.720 --> 00:31:38.359 great job. But but and now the thorough repudiation of Dave Williams one way 433 00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:41.880 or the other, even if he stays in office, he's not going to 434 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:45.440 have any platform or any influence. So the party took a big step forward 435 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.200 last night, not just short term. Yeah they did. But see I 436 00:31:49.200 --> 00:31:56.359 don't want you know you're so gentle with people. It must be that here 437 00:31:56.400 --> 00:32:00.839 for the last segment. Yes, I've been listening. I listen, thank 438 00:32:00.880 --> 00:32:07.400 you all the time, and you're kind of I'm not criticizing that. I'm 439 00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:13.039 just saying that this guy's got a call said, he's an hindrance, he's 440 00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.000 not going to be a help. I thought I was tougher on him than 441 00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:19.759 you are. I said, I with the compster and just say, you 442 00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:22.240 know, Al Gore, let it go, Hillary, let it go, 443 00:32:22.680 --> 00:32:29.119 Yeah, Ldy and Georgia let it go. And after I win, I'm 444 00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:32.960 going to let it go and just be a magnanimous, kind of quiet, 445 00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:38.880 chilled guy. Yes, that's a goal long way because there's only about three 446 00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:44.599 percent of America that's going to move on this. Steven, appreciate the calls, 447 00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:47.480 Thank you. Whatever he does, it needs to end with we need 448 00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:52.079 to be looking forward, right and this just as we go to other calls 449 00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:55.680 and text. I was just thinking about it more last night. Remember what 450 00:32:55.759 --> 00:33:00.039 I was submitting to you at the end of the show yesterday for Biden's camp 451 00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.759 to give up the option because they won the coin flip. They could have 452 00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:09.000 chosen to go last, to give up that opportunity because they know mentally he's 453 00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:14.720 not capable of processing what Trump says in his closing and responding. What a 454 00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:17.480 gift to Trump, Ryan, Because if Donald Trump doesn't stand up there tomorrow 455 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:23.480 night and have the perfect closing argument, which they have plenty of time to 456 00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:27.559 prepare, at that point, I just have to say, Dear Lord, 457 00:33:27.720 --> 00:33:30.480 please serenity now. Serenity now. Because Trump has so much to work with 458 00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:35.920 right, all of his accomplishments, but he can just stand there in the 459 00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:40.559 closing and just repeat that Reagan moment. Are you better off now than you 460 00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:45.480 were when I was president? Of course not. Your life was better when 461 00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:49.920 I was president. I succeeded, he felt and just go through the list, 462 00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.759 just those dynamite killer lines. A vote for me as a vote for 463 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:55.400 peace. You saw it when I was president. A vote for him is 464 00:33:55.400 --> 00:33:59.960 a vote for war. You've seen it when he's president. This giving trump 465 00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:05.119 closing argument is just what a gift and all because Biden doesn't have the mental 466 00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:10.000 capacity to respond to what Trump has to say. Texters, Dan has been, 467 00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:14.760 not have been. Thank you for that you misspelled, Ben Dan. 468 00:34:15.440 --> 00:34:19.559 Happy happy birthday, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly that from Frandy, So happy 469 00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:23.480 birthday to both Kelly and the Colorado GOP, both celebrating a birthday and, 470 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:27.599 in the GOP's case, a rebirth. Today, Dan, I think Dave 471 00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.280 Williams should leave because all of the air is out of his balloon now. 472 00:34:30.760 --> 00:34:36.559 He's just has been after last night, Dan, so awesome that mister Brockler 473 00:34:36.639 --> 00:34:38.760 won. Wooho, Alexa. I didn't know George's dad was running. Was 474 00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:42.320 he on the ballot? Yeah? I don't think George would appreciate being called 475 00:34:42.360 --> 00:34:46.800 mister Brockler. Ryan. We're fifty eight minutes into this show. Not a 476 00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:52.400 single at a boy. I mean, I was perfect every production. What 477 00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:57.360 else law is perfect? Well? Maybe acknowledge it. I have would iology 478 00:34:57.519 --> 00:35:00.000 a FI five zero five, A two five five one more victory left for 479 00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:04.800 me when we come back. Remember how I've been saying that Biden will soon 480 00:35:04.880 --> 00:35:09.719 be out more proof of it from Colorado's own Jared polus here on The Dane 481 00:35:09.760 --> 00:35:12.119 Kapitla Show. That's up next
