00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:04.839
This is Dan Caplis and welcome to
today's online podcast edition of The Dan Caplis

2
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:07.679
Show. Please be sure to give
us a five star rating if you'd be

3
00:00:07.759 --> 00:00:12.000
so kind, and to subscribe,
download and listen to the show every single

4
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:18.239
day on your favorite podcast platform.
It's a dying art where people from opposing

5
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:22.960
parties are willing to get together in
person, have a debate, answer the

6
00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:27.039
tough questions and more importantly, the
follow up questions, even from their opponent,

7
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:30.519
because there just aren't that many people
out there anymore, you know,

8
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.960
who have that kind of conviction and
that kind of confidence in their own abilities.

9
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.679
So all the credit in the world
to Tricia Calvareci, who's here today,

10
00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:44.119
Democrat candidate for Congress and CD four. Welcome Tricia and Doug Greg Lopez,

11
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:48.240
Greg and everybody who listens to the
show familiar with Greg very accomplished on

12
00:00:48.280 --> 00:00:53.560
the conservative side, and he's the
nominee from the GOP for this special election.

13
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:58.119
I won't suck up debate time by
getting into the special election versus general

14
00:00:58.119 --> 00:01:02.479
election stuff. Stakes are high.
You know, whoever wins this, yeah,

15
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.640
that person's going to be sitting in
a very closely divided Congress. So

16
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.680
again, thank you to both and
to be here well, thank you.

17
00:01:10.760 --> 00:01:14.799
And we left it to Tricia to
make the choice on who would go first,

18
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:17.519
because again, I have to tell
you how much I admire you coming

19
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:22.280
into this format because obviously this is
a conservative radio show, right, but

20
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:25.560
you're not afraid to come in here
and debate, and I just I know

21
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:27.959
we're going to disagree on probably every
major issue, right, but I respect

22
00:01:27.959 --> 00:01:30.920
the heck out of you for being
willing to do that, and I think

23
00:01:30.959 --> 00:01:34.760
it says lots of good things about
you. So so let's dive in.

24
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:38.480
Greg, you go first. The
first question up for people, and we

25
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:42.319
have a time clock that the candidates
know about and will enforce gently. But

26
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.640
I'm going to ask each of you
to open with just a little bit about

27
00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:51.680
who you are, but why you
would be a better representative for CD four

28
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:55.599
than your opponent, and then your
opponent will reply to that. Okay,

29
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.120
Well, listen, Dan, it's
great to be here with you tonight,

30
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.719
you know, and I want to
start by really commending Tricia for stepping up

31
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:07.040
to the plate, you know,
and wanting to serve the fourth congressional district.

32
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:09.319
You know, when you step up
to the plate and run for office,

33
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:13.680
you become a target. And so
you know, a lot of us

34
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:16.879
are familiar with that, and so
I think it's it's good that she's doing

35
00:02:16.919 --> 00:02:21.960
this. You know, we probably
differ on a lot of policies, but

36
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.039
I'm glad to hear that, you
know, she's in agreement with me when

37
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:29.439
I talk about, you know,
people over politics, I think we share

38
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:34.520
that same concern as it pertains to
be in an office, you know,

39
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.599
and we mentioned that on June twenty
fifth. This is a special election,

40
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:39.960
so the people of the CD four
are going to be looking for someone that

41
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:45.960
has knowledge, experience, and wisdom
that truly understands the complexities and the challenges

42
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.240
of the district. And so I
think I because I've been traveling the state

43
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:53.000
for a number of years, I
have connected with them. You know,

44
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:58.080
I'm a small business owner, I'm
a veteran. You know, I'm a

45
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.199
husband, I'm a Christian. You
know, I'm a father, and so

46
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:05.919
all those things I think helped me
become the best Congressman that we can have

47
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.039
here for the next six months.
And so that's why I'm running. You

48
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:13.199
know, I think the district wants
to see secured borders. They want an

49
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.960
economy that works for them, not
against them. And so you know,

50
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.599
I would just ask all the people
in CD four to pay attention and vote

51
00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.680
for Greg Lopez. No, thank
you, Greg, thank you so much,

52
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.439
and I'm thrilled to be here.
Thank you sincerely. This this is

53
00:03:27.439 --> 00:03:30.520
what it's about. So, like
everyone said, my name is Tricia Calvaries

54
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:31.879
and I'm from the district. I
grew up here. I grew up in

55
00:03:31.960 --> 00:03:37.240
Sterling and in Douglas County in Highlands
Ranch. Actually when it was a ranch,

56
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:40.199
there were wild horses. And I
was most recently in Washington, d

57
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:46.319
C. Working for a Trump appoint
to help reshore American innovation, and then

58
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:52.039
a family emergency brought me home.
Both of my parents did have cancer and

59
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.879
thankfully I could come home and provide
end of life care and they did pass

60
00:03:55.360 --> 00:04:00.240
last fall, and thank you so
much. But I'm so great, well

61
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.039
I could be there. I'm stepping
up to run because so many families like

62
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:09.840
mine are these Sandwich generations. They
have so many care obligations and it's so

63
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.680
difficult people understand. I'm from the
district. My parents were both conservative,

64
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.680
they were Republican, and before he
passed my dad told me step up and

65
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:23.240
you serve the community that raised you. So that's what I'm doing. Well,

66
00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:27.360
thank you for that. And I
really and I'm sure listeners appreciate how

67
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.439
professional you are toward each other.
So this next question isn't meant to change

68
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:36.959
that. But why would you be
better than your opponent for CD four,

69
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:42.720
Greg, Well, like I said, look, I've lived in Colorado thirty

70
00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:46.240
six years. I've seen Colorado change. As you know, I ran for

71
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:49.879
governor and I had a great opportunity
to work out or be out in the

72
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:55.199
Eastern Plains. I know the issues
of water, I know the issues of

73
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:59.160
what's going on with the agricultural industry, and more importantly, I can relate

74
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:00.480
to them. You know, I
don't come from money. I come from

75
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.399
humble beginnings. You know, my
mom and dad grew up working in the

76
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:08.560
fields. My dad had a six
grade education, never really truly learn how

77
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:11.879
to read and write, and my
mom has a tenth grade education. But

78
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.079
one of the things that they taught
us boys is that you know what,

79
00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:16.879
you work hard, you surround yourself
with good people. You know, you

80
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:20.560
listen to your elders and learn from
them, and you can achieve the American

81
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:25.680
dream. And right now the American
dream is vanishing. You know you just

82
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.399
heard some of the younger generation is
really concerned about can we actually do this?

83
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:32.920
And so I have the wisdom.
I understand the complexities of legislation.

84
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:38.519
I understand the complexities of the totality
of the office, and I think that's

85
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.879
what makes me a better candidate.
And Tsia, why would you be better?

86
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:44.560
Well, I'm actually part of that
generation that, for the first time

87
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:48.839
in American history, has experienced the
backside life from our parents. Right where

88
00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:53.639
the economy we were promised, where
if you work hard, you can rise

89
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:58.120
on your merit. That's not the
reality right now. And I'm stepping up

90
00:05:58.120 --> 00:06:00.480
to ron and I am the best
representative for this district. There's no four

91
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:04.720
year university or college in all of
CD four, So I'm fighting tooth and

92
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.519
nail for pathways into the middle class
that don't necessarily need a four year degree,

93
00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:13.079
that are in the industries of the
future. And I'm coming from the

94
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:16.920
United States National Science Foundation. I
understand what we're doing on AI, on

95
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.319
quantum, on these emerging industries,
and I want to bring those investments here

96
00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:27.160
to our district. I understand these
technologies. I understand the stakes and again

97
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.319
I'm from that generation. Well,
let's roll off of that into the energy

98
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.959
industry, obviously so important in Northern
Colorado. Start with you this time,

99
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:39.879
Tritia. How do you view the
energy industry in Northern Colorado and what legislation,

100
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:43.160
if any, would you pursue that
pertains to that. I love this

101
00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:46.319
question, Thank you so much for
asking it. There is a very big

102
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.720
difference between something like, let's say, a coal company and a coal community.

103
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:54.600
I'm thrilled to say I'm endorsed by
the United mind Workers of America because

104
00:06:54.639 --> 00:06:58.399
I understand that there does need to
be a transition to renewable energy to clean

105
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.160
energy. Right it's going to be
on the backs of working people and working

106
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.800
communities. Pipelines can carry many things. They can carry natural gas, which

107
00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.879
absolutely is part of the draw down
strategy. We need to make sure that

108
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.920
our pipelines are clean, that they're
preserved, and they do need to be

109
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:16.439
replaced. There's lots of leaks happening
all over. There was, i think

110
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:21.800
recently in Northern Colorado, a huge
explosion on a farm. But where we

111
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.360
need to make sure that there are
workforce protections in place before we talk about

112
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:30.040
replacing energy of any kind, but
what we're looking at right now, we

113
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:34.319
do need natural gas. It is
part of the drawdown strategy. You know.

114
00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:40.360
I'm glad you asked a question because
CD four is a very complex district,

115
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.000
right twenty one counties. You got
atoms, you got a rappa hole,

116
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.680
you got a larmer, you know, and there's a lot of people

117
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.639
that you will never be understanding AI
and that type of higher education. You

118
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:56.319
know, there's no shame in working
with your hands. There's no shame in,

119
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.199
you know, being a labor and
doing the right thing. And when

120
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.079
it comes to energy. Look,
I'm going to be there for six months,

121
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:05.279
so I know how to manage expectations
and I know how to manage,

122
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.319
you know, the things that are
coming. I for one, believe that

123
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.759
fossil fuels are important for our nation. If you look at how many products,

124
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.279
by products come out of fossil fuels, you know, it's important for

125
00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.639
people to fully understand what that all
means. You know. Alternative energy.

126
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:26.000
I think it's something that we probably
should look into, but we got to

127
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.079
be careful how quickly we rush to
it. You know, one of the

128
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.120
things that I see in Texas and
other areas that these solar panels sometimes they

129
00:08:33.159 --> 00:08:37.440
don't generate the energy that people say
they should, but most people who truly

130
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.320
rely on fossil fuel, well,
and thank you to both of you for

131
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.480
being so concise and precise. It
really helps. And I know we'll deep

132
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.679
dive some of these issues as we
move through this debate. When we come

133
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.879
back, we'll start with do we
have a crisis at the southern border and

134
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:56.720
what should be done about that?
You're on the Dan Capitla Show and now

135
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.000
back to the Dan Tapless Show podcast. Yes strong, Ryan, I thought

136
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.399
you were going to come back with
Proud to be an American, right,

137
00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:07.639
because there's that feel to this debate. It's a throwback. It's two people

138
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:13.799
very smart and confident in their positions
who are willing to come in debate face

139
00:09:13.840 --> 00:09:18.240
to face. Tricia Cavalese, who
is the Democrat nominee for Congress in CD

140
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:22.480
four, Greg Lopez, and this
has to do with the special election coming

141
00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:26.519
up June twenty five. So we're
now on segment two and the question we'll

142
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:31.080
throw it out there and we'll start
with the Trisha Tricia, what should be

143
00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:35.159
done with the Southern border. Do
you consider it a crisis and if so,

144
00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:37.840
what should be done about the southern
border. Thank you so much for

145
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:41.840
that question. And I do want
to point out that there was a resolution

146
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:43.840
in Congress that they voted on just
the other day to call it a crisis.

147
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.960
And Lauren Bobert, who's also running
from the seat in the primary for

148
00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.840
the full term, she wasn't there
to vote for it to call it a

149
00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:58.039
crisis. She also voted no on
a bipartisan border bill because Donald Trump told

150
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:05.120
her to. So I'm happy to
work with anybody to actually secure our border.

151
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.320
We need comprehensive immigration reform. I
want to look at it from our

152
00:10:09.399 --> 00:10:13.399
values as Americans, right. Immigrants
are a key part of our economy.

153
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:18.240
They work in our fields, they
work in our meat packing plants. Part

154
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.639
of my own care team that took
care of my parents, those were migrants

155
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:26.639
as well. We want pathways to
citizenship for the people who are here and

156
00:10:26.679 --> 00:10:31.639
have contributed to our economy and to
our society. And from a labor perspective,

157
00:10:31.679 --> 00:10:33.759
as long as there are people that
you can exploit because of their documentation

158
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:39.960
status, it hurts every American worker. Now, the border is just part

159
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.399
of it. Here's the other thing
I'm really worried about. In terms of

160
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.720
immigration. We're in a competition right
now for STEM talent. It is urgent.

161
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:50.480
We want this to be the place
that STEM talent wants to be.

162
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.559
We're talking about the world's best and
brightest. And in fact, I was

163
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:56.840
just talking to an Indian immigrant the
other day about how difficult it is to

164
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:03.039
get those visas for highly skilled workers. We need to expedite that and we

165
00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.039
need to remain a place that is
welcoming of the best and the brightest,

166
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:09.720
and that this is where they want
to be, correct, you know,

167
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:15.240
Dan, it's there is a crisis. I mean, anybody that's watching the

168
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:18.600
national news will agree there's a crisis, you know. And the people that

169
00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:22.480
are coming over right now, they're
not these high educated individuals. There are

170
00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:26.840
pathways for those through work visas and
so forth. You know. But what

171
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:28.799
I'm seeing and here's what I want
to do. And here's again, this

172
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:35.440
is a big dynamic contrast and difference
is I'm looking to reintroduce the red card

173
00:11:35.799 --> 00:11:39.720
Guess work program. I don't know
if you're familiar with that or not,

174
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.320
but it was it was submitted to
Congress back in two thousand and six.

175
00:11:43.720 --> 00:11:48.120
And this again deals with those individuals
that want to come to America to work,

176
00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:52.000
but this is designed for them to
be here legally. And you know,

177
00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.720
I don't have time to go in
all the details, but it's how

178
00:11:54.759 --> 00:12:00.480
do we solve problems, not just
talking generalities about concepts. These are strong,

179
00:12:01.080 --> 00:12:03.480
precise issues. For example, the
other thing that I'm looking at is

180
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:09.000
we all know that the asylum seeker
application process is broken. It's broken.

181
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:11.799
You know, there used to be
a time where people were crossing the border

182
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:16.240
and they would run. Now they
cross the border and wait to be apprehended.

183
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.039
Why because they're seeking asylum. And
one of the things that is challenging

184
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:26.200
at the border is can we really
ascertain if they're actually being fearful from their

185
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:31.799
own country And a lot of these
people are jumping over countries. Right Mexico

186
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.799
is not doing anything to their people, and so we've got to look at

187
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.600
this. And so one of the
things that I'm working with the people in

188
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:41.159
Congress already because I'm not waiting for
June twenty fifth. I want to make

189
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.159
sure that we're there and we're going
to be impactful. One is to look

190
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:48.080
at what it makes sense to do
an eighteenth month moreitorium on the asylum seekers

191
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:52.720
application process until we fix it.
But there's no doubt that we are currently

192
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.559
in a crisis in the border,
and it's because people have lost sight of

193
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.080
what a nation needs to have,
and that is a border. Let's do

194
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.360
it. A little follow up on
this, because you guys know better than

195
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.039
I do. You're out there doing
the hard work. This is one of

196
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.960
the very big things people are talking
about all the time, right So a

197
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:13.039
Tricia starting with you, do you
think that the border at this point should

198
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:18.200
simply be closed? And if not, what should that process for admission look

199
00:13:18.360 --> 00:13:22.759
like? Absolutely, it needs to
be orderly. We have a border and

200
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.879
there needs to be a process.
I agree that we should close the amnesty

201
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.159
loophole. There needs to be more
judges and they need to be able to

202
00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.799
hear folks quicker. I think I
looking at the root cause of this.

203
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:39.200
Why are so many people from South
America right now at the border. And

204
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:41.759
I can't wait to you know,
I'm looking forward to our next segment where

205
00:13:41.799 --> 00:13:48.480
we talk about Ukraine. Because Vladimir
Putin has stopped exporting fertilizer, systematically starving

206
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.240
the people of South and Central America. So one thing that we can look

207
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:54.960
at. Right, this is a
little bit broader than strictly at the border,

208
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.200
but let's solve the root cause of
these problems. We are the most

209
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:03.559
productive district, one of the most
productive districts in the country, and we

210
00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.639
could be doing even more we have. So we have fabulous farmland. Let's

211
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.879
grow more food and export it.
Let's work with our allies in the South.

212
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:15.440
We want we want strong economic development
there and here. We want we

213
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.799
want people to be able to find
opportunities and decent jobs and dignity and an

214
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:26.480
ability to support their families wherever they
are correct. Well, look, it's

215
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.399
clear that the border is no longer
a border. When you talk to the

216
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.320
agents down there, they're already telling
me, look, we're not even doing

217
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.759
what we're supposed to be doing.
We're processors now. We no longer are

218
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.759
protecting the border. You know,
when I was running for governor and talking

219
00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:46.559
to people, I would tell in
America's always had a border, It's always

220
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:48.840
had a wall. It was an
invisible wall. They used to respect that,

221
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.519
you know, now they don't respect
our invisible wall. And I think

222
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.440
it's time that we put a barrier, a visible barrier to remind people that,

223
00:14:56.519 --> 00:15:01.279
look, there is a process by
which we welcome you, but we

224
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:03.360
need you to be Americans. We
need you to follow the rule of law.

225
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:05.840
It's not that we don't want you, we just want to make sure

226
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:11.399
that we do it correctly and until
we have some strong voices, not this

227
00:15:11.639 --> 00:15:15.320
you know, political back and forth. Well it's election year, let's do

228
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.799
it now. You know, this
crisis has been going on for a while,

229
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:22.679
and so it's interesting to me that
as we get closer to an election

230
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:24.440
cycle, all of a sudden,
people are starting to say, well,

231
00:15:24.440 --> 00:15:28.840
we need to find a solution.
I think it's important that we again put

232
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:31.840
people over politics. Let's look at
what's going on. Every state now is

233
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:37.240
a border state. You don't have
to be in Texas. My family grew

234
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:41.240
up in the Rio Grand Valley.
I truly understand what's happening at the border.

235
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:43.120
And a quick follow up for both
of you, we have maybe a

236
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.559
minute before the break, and then
in the next segment we will in fact

237
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:52.399
be talking about should the US fund
Ukraine, Should the US support Israel taking

238
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:58.080
RAFA? But real quick take on
this from you? Inflation? What could

239
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:00.440
be done through Congress to help relief
people of what you both agree, I

240
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:04.360
think is a real crisis right now. Absolutely, price gouging is a big

241
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:08.039
piece of it. Right looking at
our the conglomerates at the very top,

242
00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.799
look at who's profiting off of it. Right, it's a it's a boon

243
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:17.879
for shareholders, but it's it's hurting
everyday Americans. It's hurting the middle class.

244
00:16:18.120 --> 00:16:23.960
So one price gouging. Two,
undo the tax the tax Trump cuts

245
00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:29.360
right or the very big the cuts. And then I would also say we

246
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:34.200
need to be investing in local economies
like these local regional innovation hubs of bringing

247
00:16:34.279 --> 00:16:37.679
it not because if you just throw
money at it without creating the full ecosystem,

248
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:41.639
it's going to collapse. So there's
already investments coming online in quantum and

249
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.919
in climate for the US, for
Colorado specifically, quick take quik Yeah,

250
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:49.240
I agree that. I'm so happy
she said we shouldn't throw money at this

251
00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:53.799
right because that's what's happening right now. The federal government is throwing money at

252
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.600
all these so called issues because they
believe money is going to solve them.

253
00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:03.960
Dan when our national debt it's over
thirty four trillion dollars that we really can't

254
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.519
afford. You know, you have
to ask yourself, why is America a

255
00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:12.039
government spending so much money? And
it's the money in the system that's causing

256
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:15.000
a lot of this inflation. You
know, is there a price scouging?

257
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:19.119
Who knows? You know, But
do we really want the government to interfere

258
00:17:19.119 --> 00:17:25.079
with small business and the capitalism that
we have. I don't think so.

259
00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:26.519
Well. Thank you, Greg,
and hey, if you just joined us,

260
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:32.880
thank you something rare live face to
face to beate Tricia Cavalresi the Democrat

261
00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:37.079
versus Greg Lopez Republican special election CD
four. When we come back, should

262
00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:41.000
the US fund Ukraine? Eight five
five four zero five eight two five five.

263
00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:45.759
Now, if you have questions that
you want us to pose to these

264
00:17:45.799 --> 00:17:51.000
fine folks, Tech Sdan d An
five seven seven three nine Ryan, anything

265
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:52.839
you want to throw in before the
break. I just like that we're moving

266
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.200
along here in the times just about
equals. So we're going to try to

267
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.400
get that back on track for the
third of four segments coming right up and

268
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.359
again text in any questions you may
have. And we've invited the candidates to

269
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:07.599
Hey, there's some topic I'm not
bringing up. They want to bring up

270
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.000
feel free to. I mean,
we just appreciate the fact they're here and

271
00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.319
we have the chance to have this
debate. And even if you're not in

272
00:18:14.440 --> 00:18:17.160
CD four, don't care about CD
four, and I think you should because

273
00:18:17.200 --> 00:18:21.000
control of Congress could depend on it. These issues I think pertain to all

274
00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:30.759
of us. Everywhere you're on the
Dan Kapler Show, you're listening to the

275
00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:37.640
Dan Kaplis Show podcast credit to Tricia
CALVALRISI now, Trician, I've had it

276
00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:41.599
right every time except this one.
They're right all the time, say Calvary,

277
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:47.680
see Calvale, except the correct way
to say your name is Calvary's correct.

278
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.680
Well, if you're Cavaret said,
you're going to with a hand.

279
00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:53.480
But they're both right, they're both
But as a guy who's one hundred percent

280
00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:57.000
Irish, I probably care Calvary's the
Calvary's for you. That's the right,

281
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:04.000
excellent job should the DEM nominee in
CD four and Greg Lopez the GOP nominee

282
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:08.000
and the special election. And so
even if you don't care about CD four,

283
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.079
and I think you should, again
because control of Congress may depend on

284
00:19:11.200 --> 00:19:15.119
it. They're talking about the issues
that mattered all of US no matter which

285
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.640
district we are in. So we
covered a lot of ground in the first

286
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:26.960
segments. Let's now dive into should
the US fund Ukraine? Greg your turn,

287
00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.960
please go first on that. You
know, it's interesting the whole dynamics

288
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.359
about funding Ukraine and the war with
Russia. And yet when you look at

289
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:41.200
it, it seems like we're funding
both wars, right because we're buying fuel

290
00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:45.119
from Russia and we're engaging with them
and so forth. I'm here to tell

291
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.319
you that I believe for now we
need to have a stop on funding Ukraine.

292
00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:52.519
I think we need to reevaluate what
is it really a crisis for US?

293
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:57.200
And again, because we're thirty four
trillion dollars in debt and people believe

294
00:19:57.319 --> 00:20:03.279
that we America have of deep pockets
that we should always be willing to just

295
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:06.400
write checks and so forth. I'm
concerned about that, you know. And

296
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:08.079
so I think, you know what, when people talk about, well,

297
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:11.559
what about fertilizer and so forth,
Well, you know what, why can't

298
00:20:11.599 --> 00:20:15.240
we make that here in America?
You know, why can't we provide that

299
00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.279
as an industry? We've done it
before. I just don't see why we

300
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:22.319
can't do it again. But I
really am concerned as to how much we're

301
00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:27.519
spending in these wars and for how
long there is no end in sight.

302
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:32.759
You know, I was reading today
that Putin really doesn't have an outplan,

303
00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:37.079
you know, So what if he
takes the capital of Ukraine? Does he

304
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.000
draw a line? Does he change
the government? I think he's in a

305
00:20:40.079 --> 00:20:42.519
real box and he doesn't know how
to get out of it. As a

306
00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:47.720
person of Slavic origin mine of you
know, I've got the Polish ancestry.

307
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:52.640
Putin must be stopped. I don't
know what army, what NATO army in

308
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.079
Europe can stop Putin. And we
know that he's not going to stop in

309
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.799
Ukraine. We know he'll go into
poland it'll draw in a NATO conflict.

310
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:06.200
And there is no army in Europe
ready to fight and defend itself against Vladimir

311
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:11.319
Putin. The Ukrainians have done an
admirable job, and as our allies,

312
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:14.519
we need to step up and give
them all of give them the arms.

313
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.720
That's good for our economy, right, we get to get rid of our

314
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:21.799
old stock and we get to build
new things. We get to innovate in

315
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:26.480
the process as well. So send
it, Send it today. Absolutely stand

316
00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:30.119
by Ukraine, you know, to
a head of that though, dan As

317
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:32.759
I hear it say, well,
it's good for our economy because we're going

318
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.759
to rebuild our ammunition supply. Well, the only people that buy the ammunition

319
00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:38.920
supply is the government, and the
government is going to take that money from

320
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:42.839
the taxpayers, you know. And
again we are thirty four twillion dollars in

321
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:48.359
debt, and so we have to
be very careful on what decisions we're making

322
00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:52.440
with the next generation's money. And
just give you an idea. Look today,

323
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.640
thirty four point seven trillion dollars.
If every citizen was to write a

324
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:02.079
check, it would cost them one
hundred and three thousand dollars to get rid

325
00:22:02.119 --> 00:22:06.599
of the debt. For the taxpayers, all the taxpayers, it would cost

326
00:22:06.640 --> 00:22:10.400
two hundred and sixty seven thousand to
take care of the debt. So we

327
00:22:10.599 --> 00:22:14.880
cannot ignore the debt that we have. It's a nation, because it could

328
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.359
crush us in the future. Churchy, you honors absolutely. As part of

329
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.240
that generation, I want to live
in a world where democracy is the global

330
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:25.880
world order. I think that if
we don't step up and support Ukraine,

331
00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:30.200
I think that sounds a very strong
message to China, and I certainly don't

332
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:33.759
want them to be emboldened for a
land war in Taiwan. So as a

333
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:40.359
as a country that values democratic principles, we must step up and defend our

334
00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:44.319
democratic allies, and that's what we
have to do in Ukraine. Absolutely,

335
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:51.039
let me extend this discussion now to
Israel and Gazam. So at this point,

336
00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:55.119
should Israel be allowed to take Rafa? I mean, assuming they do

337
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:57.920
so in the most humanitarian way possible, there still will be a lot of

338
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:03.599
casualties by the new nature of this
war that Hamas started. But should Israel

339
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.640
be allowed to take Rafa? Let's
start with you, Trisha on the I

340
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.519
want to pause and just say,
you know, having lost my parents recently,

341
00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:15.119
just the thought of and this was
during the you know, the taking

342
00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:19.920
of the hostages. Just the thought
of to have a family member be held

343
00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:22.640
and to not be able to touch
them or talk to them or know if

344
00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:27.079
they're okay. My heart breaks absolutely
breaks for those families. At the same

345
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:34.839
time, seeing the indiscriminate slaughter of
civilians in Gaza is incredibly disturbing. It's

346
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:40.039
and I think Biba Natanya, who
is a strong man, so no I

347
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.319
do not think that we should support
Biba in Rafa. What do you think

348
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:49.880
the US policy should be at this
point with regard to Israel and the warrant

349
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:55.720
Gaza. I think we need to
apply the lazy rule, apply the conditions

350
00:23:55.759 --> 00:23:59.400
that are already on the books,
and make sure that they meet the standards.

351
00:24:00.839 --> 00:24:04.240
Correct, man, Let's not forget
who started this whole conflict. It

352
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:10.799
wasn't Israel. Hamas was the one
that attacked Israel. And you know when

353
00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:15.000
you talk about families and you talk
about the hostages that they took, the

354
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.960
people that they killed, you know, they invaded Israel at least attempted to,

355
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.359
you know, and so we have
to remember who started this crisis.

356
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:30.160
And with what's going on right now
in Palestine, Hamas is using the general

357
00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:33.640
public as shields. You know,
they used the hospitals, that was proven,

358
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:40.240
and so they're basically going and trying
to use innocent people to protect themselves.

359
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:45.079
I think it's important for us to
make sure or Israel to make sure

360
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:48.720
that that type of mindset does not
exist, because if we allow it to

361
00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:55.440
exist, then they're going to use
all kinds of different tactics and more innocent

362
00:24:55.480 --> 00:24:57.359
people are going to be killed.
But you know, Israel's always telling them

363
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.240
you know what we're coming. Please
citizens, move out of the way,

364
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.319
please go somewhere else. They give
them a warning. Hey, guys,

365
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:11.039
let me shift gears for a second. I note you hear the issue of

366
00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:15.279
the abortion issue a lot on the
campaign. Should Roe v. Wade be

367
00:25:15.799 --> 00:25:18.839
codified or should the issue be left
to the states. Who would like to

368
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:22.319
start in that, I'll throw out
a jump ball. I think it needs

369
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.240
to be codified. I think it
absolutely should be codified. I think when

370
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:32.240
there are blanket what we could potentially
move towards a blanket ban, women are

371
00:25:32.279 --> 00:25:34.359
going to die. I would like
to share a personal story. I mean,

372
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:37.960
the year before I was born,
my mom needed to have an a

373
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:44.599
topic pregnancy removed. It saved her
life and it made mine possible the next

374
00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:49.519
year. This was in rural Sterling. The thought of a national abortion ban

375
00:25:49.839 --> 00:25:53.799
is terrifying to think of what is
going to happen to women. What is

376
00:25:53.920 --> 00:25:59.720
already happening in the states where there
are bands in rural America, there is

377
00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:04.319
a crisis of maternity care. So
codify wrote and yes, let's expand access

378
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:08.799
to reproductive care. Graig Well,
I can tell you this. Look,

379
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:12.680
my record is clear. You know, I wear these little feet because I

380
00:26:12.880 --> 00:26:17.920
protect life. I'm a strong supporter
of life. You know, when you

381
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.920
look at what's going on with this
whole issue, you have to ask yourself,

382
00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:27.279
are we really focusing on the right
issue, Because the termination of any

383
00:26:27.359 --> 00:26:33.599
life by any means. I think
we need to reevaluate our moral compass as

384
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:37.759
a nation. And so you know, my little sister, you know,

385
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.920
we all have examples. My little
sister at the age of fifteen, got

386
00:26:40.960 --> 00:26:45.640
pregnant, you know, and the
discussion happened within the family that maybe should

387
00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.359
get it, she should get an
abortion because she was too young. But

388
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:51.200
the family finally realized, you know
what, we need to come together.

389
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:56.519
We need to come together as a
family and raise this child and support her.

390
00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.400
And we did. There's so many
nonprofits out there, there's so many

391
00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:06.440
organizations that are wanting to help young
women that aren't sure if they want to

392
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:10.279
have a child or not. You
know, the foster care, the adoption,

393
00:27:10.559 --> 00:27:14.160
there's so many options. Look,
it's not easy to make a decision,

394
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.400
but we as a we must have
a moral compass. And I think

395
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:19.519
that's really where I'm coming from.
And when we come back. What we'll

396
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.640
do is will yes please? Chris. I would just say that I was

397
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:27.839
raised in a Catholic household. My
family made it very clear if I was

398
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:32.079
ever pregnant, we would take care
of the child and that would be our

399
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:36.559
decision. The point is that was
our decision. So as kind as you

400
00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:38.680
seem, I don't want you to
have anything to do with the decisions that

401
00:27:38.799 --> 00:27:41.960
I and my family make, but
our care provider. I'm not looking to

402
00:27:42.039 --> 00:27:47.119
make your decisions. I'm looking to
help make decisions for those that can't speak

403
00:27:47.119 --> 00:27:48.839
for themselves, well for other people. Right. I want to leave it

404
00:27:49.160 --> 00:27:52.599
to the woman and to her family
and her doctor, and I would like

405
00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.440
to give it to the child.
And I really wish we didn't have a

406
00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:59.960
break here, but we too,
so we'll come back. Well can take

407
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:03.720
this. You're on the Dan Capla
Show. And now back to the Dan

408
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:11.559
Kaplis Show podcast. A fantastic debate
between Tricia Calvalry, she's the Democrat nominee

409
00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:15.000
for Congress in CD four, and
Greg Lopez, the GOP nominee Greg in

410
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:18.160
Greg's case for the special election,
We've covered a lot of ground, a

411
00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.319
lot of issues quickly. You can
pick that up off the pod. But

412
00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:26.319
as you might guess from Ryan's choice
of music there, when we went to

413
00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.400
break, we were talking about the
life issue and whether Roe v. Wade

414
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:36.960
should be codified, and Tricia very
adamantly and enthusiastically says yes, and Greg

415
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:41.400
just as powerfully says no. And
then they discuss that issue before we get

416
00:28:41.400 --> 00:28:45.000
into kind of an extended closing.
Is there anything more either of you wanted

417
00:28:45.079 --> 00:28:48.400
to say on that issue, because
I know you were going at it pretty

418
00:28:48.400 --> 00:28:51.480
good, and when we went to
that hard break, well, you know,

419
00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:53.960
I'll just sad. Look here in
Colorado, you know, the people

420
00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:59.920
have spoken, and I believe that
the Tenth Amendment, which is a constitution

421
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.759
I'm a strong supporter of the Constitution, gives states that states right, you

422
00:29:03.839 --> 00:29:07.279
know, for them to choose.
But it's something that we even here in

423
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:11.240
Colorado, we need to reevaluate our
moral compass anything you wanted to say,

424
00:29:11.319 --> 00:29:15.519
CHRISA anymore in that I get a
little bit nervous when we're going to use

425
00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:21.559
other amendments from the Constitution to interpret
what a woman can and not can't and

426
00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:26.200
can't do right, because we saw
that with ivf Right, where we want

427
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.359
to make sure that IVF remains legal, it remains accessible, and so again

428
00:29:30.440 --> 00:29:37.079
I just want to emphasize the focus
really should be on expanding access to care.

429
00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:40.599
And you know, doctors also they
take out loans. It takes a

430
00:29:40.640 --> 00:29:42.680
lot to be a doctor. And
just talking to you know, the friends

431
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:48.119
I have and folks who've worked very
hard for that degree, who they wanted

432
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.680
to practice in rural and underserved areas
and they're they're so terrified of a potential

433
00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.599
abortion ban where they're having to you
know, reconsider their choices of service.

434
00:29:56.640 --> 00:30:02.160
And I don't think that's fair for
doctors well either. Yeah, and don't

435
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:03.480
feel I mean, if anybody has
anything to say, and you can say

436
00:30:03.480 --> 00:30:07.000
it in your closings as well.
Obviously if I was part of this debate,

437
00:30:07.039 --> 00:30:11.079
I have some things to say.
I'm just the traffic cop here,

438
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:15.559
but appreciate both of you being here. So we've got got two minutes for

439
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:19.839
each of you for wide open closings, So have at it. Trisha your

440
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:22.359
column, whether you want to go
first or last, sure thing, I'll

441
00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:26.200
go first. So I just thank
you so much also for having me.

442
00:30:26.319 --> 00:30:27.720
This was this was great. Thank
you. Thank you Greg as well.

443
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:34.839
We are facing tremendous challenges. And
this is also the era of AI.

444
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:41.480
And whichever country controlled this is Putin
said this, whichever country controls AI,

445
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:45.319
controls the future. And I want
to make sure that the United States is

446
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:52.519
leading and that we lead with our
values. And that's why with my experience

447
00:30:52.559 --> 00:30:56.279
at the National Science Foundation working for
a Trump appointee, I'm going to do

448
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.799
everything I can to bring investments into
districts and plays that have been overlooked and

449
00:31:02.480 --> 00:31:07.799
left behind so that people, our
next generation can get into stem careers and

450
00:31:07.960 --> 00:31:12.000
pathways to make sure that we can
out compete against China, that we can

451
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:17.480
lead the future, and that anybody
who wants one can find an excellent job

452
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:21.759
and a path into the middle class
that doesn't necessarily need a four year degree.

453
00:31:22.039 --> 00:31:23.720
And I also just want to make
it easier for people to be able

454
00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:27.079
to take care of and spend time
with their families. Well, thank you

455
00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:32.400
and thank you for thank you so
much. Greg. You know Dan the

456
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:37.359
city for special election, it's bigger
than the district, It's bigger than Colorado.

457
00:31:37.880 --> 00:31:42.200
This is truly about defending our founding
principles to protect the republic. We

458
00:31:42.319 --> 00:31:47.599
don't want government to be interfering with
our daily lives. You know, we

459
00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:52.160
don't want them to take us into
a financial self destruction. And so I'm

460
00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:57.839
here to tell you that the issues
that we face today are not Republican issues.

461
00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:02.839
They're not demark issues, they're not
unaffiliated issues. These are people issues.

462
00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.359
And this is why I always put
people over politics. We need to

463
00:32:07.400 --> 00:32:12.440
fully understand that when you sit in
these positions, it's not about looking at

464
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:15.000
how the winds are blowing. It's
about being a statesman. It's about having

465
00:32:15.240 --> 00:32:21.720
strong moral character, someone that can
bring coalitions together, someone that can look

466
00:32:21.720 --> 00:32:27.559
into the future and make sure that
CD four is truly being represented. I

467
00:32:27.720 --> 00:32:31.119
have the knowledge, I have the
experience. I know how to lead with

468
00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:37.039
a steady hand. The people of
CD four are looking for strong leadership.

469
00:32:37.279 --> 00:32:42.200
They want someone with a strong voice, someone that can actually represent them in

470
00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:45.920
a manner by which they will feel
their voices are being heard. And so

471
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:51.599
I would just encourage everyone in CD
four, you know, vote for Greg

472
00:32:51.680 --> 00:32:55.480
Lopez either before early or on the
twenty fifth. But if you really want

473
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:59.559
to know more about me, you
know, go to my website Greg Lopez

474
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:02.319
dot com. You'll find a lot
more. And I say just just vote

475
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:05.680
for Greg Little Well, thank you
and thank you for being here. Tricia,

476
00:33:05.720 --> 00:33:08.559
what's your website. It's Trisia for
Colorado dot Com. T Ri I

477
00:33:09.079 --> 00:33:13.799
saj the number four Colorado dot com. And I have to tell you,

478
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:19.079
I think you both just represented tremendously
well for your respective parties and I think

479
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:22.640
maybe some people feel better about politics, at least in the case of you

480
00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:25.319
two. So just a great example
of willingness to go head to head and

481
00:33:25.440 --> 00:33:29.799
debate and the way you conducted it. And I'm sure and you've got two

482
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:32.720
more coming up, so folks will
get every opportunity to hear and see and

483
00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:37.519
measure both of you. So very
grateful for that. Thank you, and

484
00:33:37.839 --> 00:33:39.559
yes true and one of and if
you go to Colorado for dot com.

485
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:43.640
Lauren Bobert, if you're listening,
I'm happy to schedule a debate with you

486
00:33:43.880 --> 00:33:46.200
anytime. Then hopefully we can do
it on KHO. Well, I would

487
00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:49.759
love to do it right here,
love to do it right here. And

488
00:33:50.079 --> 00:33:52.920
Congressoman Bobert, at least the Congressom
Bobert. I no, does not duck

489
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:57.920
anybody anywhere, anytime. So both
of you are welcome, and you know

490
00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.400
and obviously she's involved in Rome Prime. We don't know who's going to come

491
00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:04.799
out of that primary yet, but
if she is the winner of it,

492
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:07.599
we would love to host that.
Looking forward to thank you, Thank you

493
00:34:07.880 --> 00:34:09.800
and Ryan, thank you for your
great job. Kelly, you as well.

494
00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:14.679
Hey, Tomorrow, big day in
the Trump trial. The Court's going

495
00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:16.719
to decide on some key jury instructions. I know it sounds boring, it

496
00:34:16.840 --> 00:34:20.360
won't be. It may have a
lot to do with how that case ends

497
00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:22.440
up. So we'll dive into that
much more tomorrow. Thank you for your

498
00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:25.719
time today, Look forward tomorrow on
The Dan Kapla Show.
