6
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to the Dankplas Show here on the last day

7
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 2>of June. And if you can't tell you you're not

8
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:23.120
<v Speaker 2>actually listening to Dan today, you got Sheriff Steve Riems

9
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.359
<v Speaker 2>filling in again. I'll actually be with you Monday through

10
00:00:26.399 --> 00:00:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Wednesday as Dan does some trial prep for another one

11
00:00:29.719 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 2>of his big cases, you know, driving down Heroes, kind

12
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:35.759
<v Speaker 2>of listening to Ryan's show, and there was the talk

13
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:38.600
<v Speaker 2>about the discussion or the incident that happened on I

14
00:00:38.679 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 2>seventy with the truck crash and the people who died

15
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 2>in that fiery incident, and whether or not Dan had

16
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:47.880
<v Speaker 2>represented some of those victims. And I believe he did,

17
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 2>but you know just how long how much he's been

18
00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 2>gone lately for trial prep. And if you know what

19
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Dan's practice is focused on, which is, you know, car crash,

20
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:02.159
<v Speaker 2>does it result in injury or death to others? You know,

21
00:01:02.200 --> 00:01:06.200
<v Speaker 2>if that's what his absences are coming from is all

22
00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 2>this work that he's getting it kind of highlights just

23
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 2>how bad this state is. And then I get stuck

24
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.640
<v Speaker 2>in traffic on my way down here from beautiful Weld

25
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:17.439
<v Speaker 2>County down through the Denver metro area on I twenty five.

26
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:20.519
<v Speaker 2>I mean traffic stopped for I don't know miles going

27
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:23.000
<v Speaker 2>northbound on I twenty five. It's stop and go on

28
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:26.840
<v Speaker 2>southbound I twenty five. And you think, all right, who

29
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.480
<v Speaker 2>lives in this mess and says this is what I

30
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.280
<v Speaker 2>want to be in, And it's even more of a

31
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:35.079
<v Speaker 2>slap in the face. This is my first day back

32
00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:38.319
<v Speaker 2>to work after a fourteen day vacation in Hawaii, and

33
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.159
<v Speaker 2>I got to tell you, you know, island time, island schedule

34
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:46.040
<v Speaker 2>is way superior to what I just drove through to

35
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:46.640
<v Speaker 2>get down here.

36
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Now, quick question, I want to get you in trouble, sheriff,

37
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 3>but I mean you're the sheriff. So do you take

38
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.120
<v Speaker 3>the squad car down here or your own personal vehicle?

39
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:56.719
<v Speaker 2>It's a mix of either one. It kind of depends

40
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.200
<v Speaker 2>on whatever I have going before or after this.

41
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.799
<v Speaker 3>So you wouldn't do anything like, you know, throw your

42
00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 3>lights on to be able to go cruising through traffic, and.

43
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>What good would it do down here? They probably make

44
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.960
<v Speaker 2>traffic worse and people would freak out. They wouldn't know

45
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.240
<v Speaker 2>what it was like to have a cop on the

46
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.919
<v Speaker 2>highway down here. I mean, that's a shot at the

47
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.599
<v Speaker 2>Denver Police Department. Yeah, a little bit. But you just

48
00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.919
<v Speaker 2>don't see traffic enforcement on the highway very much.

49
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:23.400
<v Speaker 4>And I get it.

50
00:02:23.560 --> 00:02:25.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how you would in a safe in

51
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 2>a safe manner, I think again, you probably might make

52
00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.560
<v Speaker 2>things worse trying to trying to deal with traffic down here,

53
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.080
<v Speaker 2>because it's just a nightmare.

54
00:02:32.120 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 4>I mean we have every time I come down here.

55
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Just it's it's maddening.

56
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 2>And you guys live down here, you guys, most of

57
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:41.439
<v Speaker 2>the listeners live in this area. You think, yeah, we

58
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:43.680
<v Speaker 2>see this every day. You're just you know, you're you're

59
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.199
<v Speaker 2>speaking into the wind. But it's maddening. Again, coming from

60
00:02:48.199 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 2>a state where I was on island time. The whole

61
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 2>island that I was on, and I went to the

62
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.280
<v Speaker 2>big Island of Hawaii, the whole thing is the size

63
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:55.879
<v Speaker 2>of Weld County.

64
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:58.360
<v Speaker 5>It's well, I remember where I told you to go.

65
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.479
<v Speaker 4>You've told me to go to all kinds of Well, what.

66
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:03.560
<v Speaker 5>Was the one place I told you to.

67
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:06.080
<v Speaker 4>Kind of you told me to go some turtle beach

68
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:11.159
<v Speaker 4>h and did you go? Yes, thank you, But not.

69
00:03:11.080 --> 00:03:14.159
<v Speaker 2>On purpose, if I'm just being honest, Kelly, it wasn't

70
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 2>on purpose. My son is an avid hiker. He loves

71
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:20.360
<v Speaker 2>to find the worst trails to try to punish his

72
00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:22.439
<v Speaker 2>family with. And so he decides we're going to do

73
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:25.560
<v Speaker 2>this jungle hike. And I call it a jungle hike

74
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 2>rainforest whatever. We're along the coast, but I mean it's

75
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:32.479
<v Speaker 2>heavily wooded jungle conditions. We hike through this tunnel of

76
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.360
<v Speaker 2>forest for like, I don't know, an hour and a half,

77
00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.800
<v Speaker 2>and then we pop out on this beautiful beach and

78
00:03:37.840 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 2>there are sea turtles everywhere. I mean they're just everywhere.

79
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:44.039
<v Speaker 2>It was. It was beautiful, nothing like I'd ever seen before.

80
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's if you haven't been to Hawaii, it's

81
00:03:46.400 --> 00:03:51.000
<v Speaker 2>worth going. Uh it's expensive, save your money, save for

82
00:03:51.039 --> 00:03:53.680
<v Speaker 2>a long time because it is not a cheap adventure,

83
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.639
<v Speaker 2>but definitely worth seeing.

84
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 4>Again.

85
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Is weird to be on a on the big island

86
00:03:59.120 --> 00:04:02.280
<v Speaker 2>of Hawaii knowing that the whole thing is about the

87
00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 2>same size as Weld County and far fewer roadways, so

88
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:09.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Interesting times. I learned something about Hawaii.

89
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>The cops over there and on most of the islands

90
00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 2>drive their home personal cars. They're not issued agency cars.

91
00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Most of them have some kind of lease option that

92
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 2>they get a car, and they transport prisoners in their

93
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.360
<v Speaker 2>personal car. They drive their personal car for work. It's

94
00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:31.279
<v Speaker 2>definitely a strange environment. But we didn't have any police contacts,

95
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:34.160
<v Speaker 2>so I only know that from googling it when we

96
00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.360
<v Speaker 2>saw cars that were marked funny. But yeah, fourteen days

97
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>in Hawaii, back to work today and back here doing

98
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.120
<v Speaker 2>the dan Caplis show. What more could you want? But

99
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:46.160
<v Speaker 2>on the way down here again, I's listened to some

100
00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.639
<v Speaker 2>of the news updates and kind of what's been going on.

101
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:50.959
<v Speaker 2>And boy, I missed a lot when I was I

102
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:54.120
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't say I missed it. There were things that happened

103
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.759
<v Speaker 2>in the news that were not necessarily in the front

104
00:04:57.800 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 2>of my vision while I was in Why so getting

105
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.680
<v Speaker 2>caught back up has been kind of a little bit

106
00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>of a struggle. I mean, the United States bombed, I

107
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 2>ran pretty heavily, took out some nuclear facilities. Polis tried

108
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.920
<v Speaker 2>to force some of his employees to violate his sanctuary

109
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 2>laws and then got sued using his own laws against

110
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:27.680
<v Speaker 2>him and lost. I mean, that's a head scratcher. A

111
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.839
<v Speaker 2>Democrat socialist wins the primary for the New York mayor's race,

112
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>and I got to listen to him on Meet the

113
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 2>Press this weekend, and I can't understand why anyone would

114
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>vote for that man, but apparently New Yorkers do. We

115
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:46.120
<v Speaker 2>heard today that a victim from the Boulder fire bombing

116
00:05:46.199 --> 00:05:50.160
<v Speaker 2>incident has passed. Very sad, it's very sad news to hear.

117
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:53.199
<v Speaker 2>I believe she was eighty two years old. Karen Diamond,

118
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I believe is her name. You know, that's just it's

119
00:05:55.959 --> 00:05:59.040
<v Speaker 2>a tragedy. But that will increase the charges against the suspect.

120
00:06:00.399 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Not that it matters a lot in Colorado because we're

121
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:05.600
<v Speaker 2>so soft on crimes, but hopefully federally that changes things

122
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:08.920
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. And then last week I came back

123
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 2>to hear Ryan and Dan talking about the team takeover

124
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 2>that was happening down at City Park in Denver and

125
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.279
<v Speaker 2>how that was impacting the potentially impacting the Denver Zoo.

126
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>In fact, I think Ryan sent me a text message saying,

127
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:25.759
<v Speaker 2>what would that look like in Weld County, and my

128
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:28.920
<v Speaker 2>response was, we ain't closing the zoo, but it sounds

129
00:06:28.920 --> 00:06:31.000
<v Speaker 2>like they didn't need to. So that thing was kind

130
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.519
<v Speaker 2>of a nothing burger, which you know, a little bit

131
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:36.480
<v Speaker 2>of credit to Denver Pde if they got ahead of

132
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:39.399
<v Speaker 2>that and got it slowed down or stopped. It's good

133
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 2>that we didn't have a bunch of kids go act

134
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.879
<v Speaker 2>unruly and ridiculous and tear a bunch of stuff up

135
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:50.079
<v Speaker 2>for no necessary reason. But you know, again, that highlights

136
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>where we're at in the state of Colorado. Lawlessness and

137
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 2>even when it's down to the teenage level of these

138
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.040
<v Speaker 2>kids taking over malls or taking over city parks or

139
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:00.839
<v Speaker 2>potentially taking over city parks, it tells you that our

140
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 2>state has a problem. And I'll tie that back into

141
00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:08.680
<v Speaker 2>what I witnessed on my vacation. So Colorado's becoming more

142
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:11.839
<v Speaker 2>and more blue. It feels like every day Hawaii is

143
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:16.040
<v Speaker 2>definitely it's governed as a blue state. Luckily, the big

144
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.839
<v Speaker 2>island of Hawaii is pretty sparsely populated, only about two

145
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:24.759
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand residents on the entire island. That's completely different

146
00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.399
<v Speaker 2>than if you go to Hawahu, where most of the

147
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:29.560
<v Speaker 2>population is. We traveled to a Wahu for a day

148
00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>to go see the USS Arizona the memorial there, go

149
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.720
<v Speaker 2>see the USS Missouri Pearl Harbor, the whole experience. And

150
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.879
<v Speaker 2>we got a pretty conservative tour guy his name was Ozzie,

151
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:46.959
<v Speaker 2>and drove our little tour bus around. Great guy, obvious,

152
00:07:47.120 --> 00:07:51.360
<v Speaker 2>obvious native to Oahu. And once he kind of figured

153
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.439
<v Speaker 2>out that we were also pretty conservative in the van,

154
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.120
<v Speaker 2>he started giving us the real deal. And we found

155
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.560
<v Speaker 2>out that the homeless situation in Hawaii is probably tenfold

156
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>over what you're seeing in the Denver metro area because

157
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.519
<v Speaker 2>fourteen different states, we're one buying one way tickets for

158
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:14.160
<v Speaker 2>homeless people and sending them to Honolulu. And it just

159
00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 2>it goes exactly what we're talking about when we say

160
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Colorado is a sanctuary state. If you build it, they

161
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:22.480
<v Speaker 2>will come. If you create policies, they will come. We

162
00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 2>have a sanctuary state in Colorado, we get trendy arragua,

163
00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>we get all kinds of illegal immigration issues coming here.

164
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 2>You know, they build a i'll say, a homeless sanctuary

165
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:36.200
<v Speaker 2>in Honolulu and in the island of a Wahu, and

166
00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.679
<v Speaker 2>everybody takes advantage of it.

167
00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.600
<v Speaker 4>So it's just it's.

168
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.200
<v Speaker 2>Interesting to see what we're experiencing here in Colorado on

169
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.919
<v Speaker 2>a little different scale in Hawaii, but it goes to

170
00:08:49.159 --> 00:08:52.440
<v Speaker 2>government mismanagement, and that's kind of where I want to

171
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:55.440
<v Speaker 2>kick off the show today a little bit about how

172
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.360
<v Speaker 2>do we take this state back. I've talked about this

173
00:08:57.399 --> 00:08:59.759
<v Speaker 2>a few times when I was filling in, and it's

174
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.120
<v Speaker 2>really a matter of how do you get some statewide

175
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.879
<v Speaker 2>elected officials from the other side of the aisle, the

176
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Republican side of the aisle, back in back in charge

177
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:10.679
<v Speaker 2>of this place. How do we get the adults back

178
00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 2>in charge, because most certainly they aren't.

179
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:13.600
<v Speaker 4>Right now.

180
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:16.240
<v Speaker 2>What we're seeing coming out of our state legislature, what

181
00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 2>we're seeing coming out or Governor's office, is not beneficial

182
00:09:19.240 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 2>to the state of Colorado. So I've told you guys

183
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 2>before when I'm setting in on the show that I

184
00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.320
<v Speaker 2>was going to try to get governor's candidates on. We're

185
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 2>going to have one on in the in the second hour,

186
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 2>But before we do that, at about the four point

187
00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:33.960
<v Speaker 2>thirty six mark, we're going to have Dick Wadams on.

188
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:36.919
<v Speaker 2>And I know some of you consider him a controversial,

189
00:09:37.720 --> 00:09:40.519
<v Speaker 2>controversial figure. You may not believe that he's the best

190
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:42.879
<v Speaker 2>Republican out there, but I think he gives you the

191
00:09:42.919 --> 00:09:45.559
<v Speaker 2>dirt on do we have a candidate in the race

192
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>that has the potential of winning? And you know, whether

193
00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:50.320
<v Speaker 2>you like the way he calls balls and strikes, I

194
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.440
<v Speaker 2>think he usually calls it pretty accurate. He's been wrong

195
00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:57.559
<v Speaker 2>on a few but more times than not, he's pretty accurate.

196
00:09:57.919 --> 00:09:59.799
<v Speaker 2>So we're going to go over in just a little

197
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 2>bit some of the candidates. We've interviewed, some that I

198
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.399
<v Speaker 2>plan on trying to get on here, and I want

199
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>you I want to hear from you guys who can

200
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.200
<v Speaker 2>win that's in the race now, and if the person's

201
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>not in the race now, who should it be? You

202
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:14.120
<v Speaker 2>can text in text Dan to five seven seven three nine,

203
00:10:14.200 --> 00:10:15.799
<v Speaker 2>or you can call in three O three seven one

204
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.039
<v Speaker 2>three eight two five five. I want to get that

205
00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:19.480
<v Speaker 2>conversation going before I have.

206
00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:20.600
<v Speaker 4>Dick on the line.

207
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 2>That way, we can say, all right, this is what

208
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.480
<v Speaker 2>the callers believe, this is what the texters believe. This

209
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.799
<v Speaker 2>person can win or this person can't win. You know,

210
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.559
<v Speaker 2>I think the most notable name in the race right

211
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 2>now is Greg Lopez. You know, there's a Mark Baisley,

212
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Scott Bottoms, We've had both of those folks on. Jason Michel,

213
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.039
<v Speaker 2>we had on, Alexander Mugatu we had on, and today

214
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 2>we're going to have a Will McBride on. And you know,

215
00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.960
<v Speaker 2>quite honestly, I mean, they're all great people, but I

216
00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.840
<v Speaker 2>don't see any of them punching at the same weight

217
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 2>as Michael Bennett just yet. And of course any candidate

218
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.960
<v Speaker 2>can catch fire and get things rolling, But where do

219
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.759
<v Speaker 2>you think we're at, listeners, I mean, who's the person,

220
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:59.679
<v Speaker 2>who's the person in the arena that can do this again?

221
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.039
<v Speaker 2>Text in five seven, seven, three nine or call in

222
00:11:02.080 --> 00:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>three zho three seven, one three eight two five five.

223
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:06.320
<v Speaker 2>We'll go to break. But when we come back, I'm

224
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:09.639
<v Speaker 2>going to go through the Republican candidates for governor. I

225
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>just read off four or five that we've we've interviewed

226
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.679
<v Speaker 2>on the show. But I want to know the rest

227
00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:16.840
<v Speaker 2>of this list. Who is the winner in this list?

228
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.000
<v Speaker 2>And if they're not there, who who's that person that's

229
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>going to step into the arena and take charge. We'll

230
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 2>go to break. When we come back, hopefully we'll have

231
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.600
<v Speaker 2>those texts coming in and we'll start interacting with what

232
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.200
<v Speaker 2>your take is on who can be our next governor

233
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:32.080
<v Speaker 2>here in the state of Colorado. You're listening to the

234
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Dan Capless Show here on six point thirty k how

235
00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>with Well Kenny Sheriff Steve Reims setting in on the.

236
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Driver's seat.

237
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:45.759
<v Speaker 6>And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast.

238
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:48.279
<v Speaker 2>You know we were before we went to break, I

239
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 2>was talking about some of the candidates in the in

240
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.519
<v Speaker 2>the governor's race on the Republican side, and I asked, you, guys, hey,

241
00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.480
<v Speaker 2>text in, tell me which one of these guys that

242
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.720
<v Speaker 2>you know of you think can win? And I say, guys,

243
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.879
<v Speaker 2>because I don't think there's a female on the Republican

244
00:12:00.919 --> 00:12:03.200
<v Speaker 2>side that's in the race yet. So I'm not saying

245
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:05.799
<v Speaker 2>that collectively. I'm saying that I think that's all we

246
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:09.039
<v Speaker 2>have is male candidates. But it's been crickets. You guys

247
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.440
<v Speaker 2>must not think anybody can win. And that's concerning because

248
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:16.039
<v Speaker 2>right now we're getting kind of down to the wire

249
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.200
<v Speaker 2>for time for folks to get into the race. I mean,

250
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.639
<v Speaker 2>I think there's probably a couple more months that can

251
00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:23.000
<v Speaker 2>be played with, but if we're going to have a

252
00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:26.879
<v Speaker 2>realistic chance at winning winning a governor's race, when I

253
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.200
<v Speaker 2>say we the Republican Party have a realistic chance of

254
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:31.679
<v Speaker 2>winning a governor's race in the state of Colorado. It's

255
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.320
<v Speaker 2>going to take a full court press, and it's going

256
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:36.840
<v Speaker 2>to take a candidate working their tail off. And it

257
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.159
<v Speaker 2>may also take having some good candidates in the other

258
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.519
<v Speaker 2>state wide races, whether that's for treasure or attorney general

259
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>or oh gosh, we'll get to those those races.

260
00:12:48.559 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 4>Here in just a minute.

261
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:53.159
<v Speaker 2>But did get one good text here from Alex And

262
00:12:53.159 --> 00:12:54.919
<v Speaker 2>I always like to say her name out loud because

263
00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.080
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if it makes people's their little listening devices

264
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:00.799
<v Speaker 2>go off. But she asked how the vacation was Hawaii. Again,

265
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:04.840
<v Speaker 2>it was fantastic. Got to go see volcanoes and turtle

266
00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:08.159
<v Speaker 2>beaches and jungle jungle hikes. I mean, if you haven't

267
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.399
<v Speaker 2>been to Hawaii, I highly recommend it, but again, save

268
00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:13.960
<v Speaker 2>your money. She also asked a little bit about you know,

269
00:13:14.039 --> 00:13:17.080
<v Speaker 2>isn't it kind of interesting how Mayor Mikey and our

270
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.600
<v Speaker 2>gutlass governor have said nothing about this team takeover that

271
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>happened at shops at Northfield or the planned one that

272
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 2>was going to happen to shut down the Denver Zoo.

273
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:28.120
<v Speaker 2>You know, I haven't been paying attention to the Denver

274
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.799
<v Speaker 2>media as I haven't been back for very long from

275
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:33.919
<v Speaker 2>my vacation, but I haven't heard anything from either either

276
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.000
<v Speaker 2>of them. A heck, the news hardly even covered it.

277
00:13:36.200 --> 00:13:38.679
<v Speaker 2>I think the most I heard about this, this whole thing,

278
00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.240
<v Speaker 2>was from Ryan Schuling show and Dan.

279
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.440
<v Speaker 4>Kapos's show last week.

280
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:45.240
<v Speaker 2>So again, if you want the real scoop on what's

281
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:46.879
<v Speaker 2>happening in the news, you got to tune into AM

282
00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.840
<v Speaker 2>radio most of the time. But again, if you got

283
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:51.759
<v Speaker 2>a name that you think, hey, this person can win,

284
00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.240
<v Speaker 2>even if they're not an announced candidate, shoot it to

285
00:13:54.279 --> 00:13:56.600
<v Speaker 2>me five seven, seven, three nine, start your text off

286
00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.399
<v Speaker 2>with Dan or call in three o three seven one

287
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:00.759
<v Speaker 2>three eight two five five if you've got an idea

288
00:14:00.840 --> 00:14:02.840
<v Speaker 2>for a person that you think can win. I mean,

289
00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:04.759
<v Speaker 2>I think I've said it many times on this on

290
00:14:04.879 --> 00:14:07.320
<v Speaker 2>these airwaves that I think Dan Kaplis would be a

291
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.759
<v Speaker 2>fantastic candidate for governor. I think he would have a

292
00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:15.360
<v Speaker 2>very good puncher's chance at getting the Republicans back in power.

293
00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.720
<v Speaker 2>But again, it's going to take a lot of work

294
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:20.360
<v Speaker 2>and lightning in a bottle for that to happen. But

295
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:23.279
<v Speaker 2>over the last few times, that I've covered for the show.

296
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:25.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what number we're on here yet, but

297
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:28.320
<v Speaker 2>I think I've interviewed four or five of these candidates.

298
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:30.240
<v Speaker 2>But I'm just going to go down the Republican candidates

299
00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 2>and we'll say if we've interviewed him or if we're

300
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.440
<v Speaker 2>about to interview him. Mark Baisley, we had him on

301
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:38.559
<v Speaker 2>the show. He's a state Senator. Scott Bottoms, we had

302
00:14:38.600 --> 00:14:42.799
<v Speaker 2>him on the show. He's a state rep. Jason Clark

303
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:47.159
<v Speaker 2>I have scheduled for the show. I believe tomorrow, actually

304
00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:51.960
<v Speaker 2>know he might be. Yeah, he's tomorrow. We've got a

305
00:14:52.039 --> 00:15:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Bryson Garrison Stephen guests, John Gray, Ginsburg, Joshua Griffin, mister

306
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:03.200
<v Speaker 2>Greg Lopez, and I've reached out to Greg to see

307
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.240
<v Speaker 2>if I could get him on the show, and he's

308
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.480
<v Speaker 2>he's not been responsive. William McBride, he will be on today.

309
00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>And then Jason Michael he's been on a couple of

310
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:16.879
<v Speaker 2>times actually, Robert Moore, Alexander Mugatu he was on with

311
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.360
<v Speaker 2>us a little while back, and then Jim Runberg and

312
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:25.279
<v Speaker 2>Daniel Thomas. And these are pretty unknown names by most

313
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I think by most accounts, which means if if any

314
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 2>of them are going to win. One, they got to

315
00:15:30.360 --> 00:15:34.440
<v Speaker 2>get their name recognition way up. And two, you know,

316
00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.759
<v Speaker 2>the winds have to be at their back, the winds

317
00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.360
<v Speaker 2>have to be in their sales. So they've got to

318
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:42.159
<v Speaker 2>have a platform that energizes the electorate. You know, I

319
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.240
<v Speaker 2>think Dan's got the name recognition that he could get

320
00:15:44.279 --> 00:15:49.720
<v Speaker 2>in the race and instantly start having some juice to

321
00:15:49.759 --> 00:15:53.039
<v Speaker 2>a campaign. But we all know he's been a pretty

322
00:15:53.080 --> 00:15:55.039
<v Speaker 2>reluctant guy to want to jump in the race and

323
00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:57.799
<v Speaker 2>duke it out so far. But you know, maybe we

324
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:00.679
<v Speaker 2>keep talking about it will fulfill a p officey here.

325
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:04.360
<v Speaker 2>But on some of the other statewide races, you've got

326
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:07.399
<v Speaker 2>the Treasure's race, which right now there's four Democrats and

327
00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 2>one other candidate, no Republican. For attorney general, you've got

328
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:18.879
<v Speaker 2>five Democrats, one Republican. That one Republican being a Connor Pennington.

329
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:23.279
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where Connor Pennington comes from, but I'll

330
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:24.519
<v Speaker 2>reach out to him too and see if we can

331
00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.039
<v Speaker 2>get him on to talk a little bit about the

332
00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:29.879
<v Speaker 2>attorney general's race. And then we have Secretary of State,

333
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.039
<v Speaker 2>and that's the only one that is kind of equally represented.

334
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 2>You have one dim one Republican and one other, and

335
00:16:36.240 --> 00:16:40.840
<v Speaker 2>the Republican is a Ross Terra Borelli. So again not

336
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.559
<v Speaker 2>familiar with that name. If you guys, as listeners, know

337
00:16:43.679 --> 00:16:46.480
<v Speaker 2>these people talk to him, to them to call in

338
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.799
<v Speaker 2>and explain to us why they can why they can

339
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:51.279
<v Speaker 2>win a particular race. Yeah, let's go for it.

340
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:55.679
<v Speaker 3>I've got it, Okay, Dan kaplis sare Steve Reims ticket Boom,

341
00:16:55.960 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 3>there we go go.

342
00:16:57.919 --> 00:16:59.000
<v Speaker 4>I screwed myself on that.

343
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:02.240
<v Speaker 6>No, I think that makes a lot of sense.

344
00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:05.160
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, I think the Dan caplis.

345
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:09.519
<v Speaker 6>Part of this. The lawyer and the law man come on,

346
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:10.759
<v Speaker 6>this is it?

347
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:12.079
<v Speaker 4>Oh boy, here we go.

348
00:17:12.400 --> 00:17:14.480
<v Speaker 6>I love it. Well, Kelly likes it too.

349
00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:17.400
<v Speaker 2>So the lieutenant governor's job's got to be pretty good, right,

350
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:18.119
<v Speaker 2>because that that.

351
00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:20.799
<v Speaker 6>You would be a kick ass lieutenant governor.

352
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.279
<v Speaker 2>So that that part you could probably talk me into,

353
00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:25.359
<v Speaker 2>because I think that the one that's in there now,

354
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:29.079
<v Speaker 2>if I'm not mistaken, is pulling two salaries for doing for.

355
00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.440
<v Speaker 6>Doing that much of anything we're getting, you know.

356
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've worked as a as a cop my

357
00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:37.079
<v Speaker 2>whole life, for a sheriff my whole life, I've done okay,

358
00:17:37.160 --> 00:17:41.359
<v Speaker 2>but you know, double income wouldn't be bad. That's a

359
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:43.000
<v Speaker 2>that's a good opportunity.

360
00:17:43.200 --> 00:17:43.960
<v Speaker 4>We did get a.

361
00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:48.240
<v Speaker 2>Text here says Greg Lopez is terrific. And you know,

362
00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.200
<v Speaker 2>from what I've interacted with Greg, he's a nice guy.

363
00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:53.599
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think this is his third attempt at governor.

364
00:17:54.519 --> 00:17:57.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying that that's a bad thing. He's obviously persistent.

365
00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.279
<v Speaker 2>He did that little stint where he covered the remainder

366
00:18:01.319 --> 00:18:05.640
<v Speaker 2>of Kim Buck's time at Over in CD four before

367
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:09.480
<v Speaker 2>Lauren Bobert won the election and took the seat. You know,

368
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:12.519
<v Speaker 2>I guess as a normal election process. But you know,

369
00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:16.480
<v Speaker 2>gregs he's been a yeoman for standing by the Republican

370
00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:19.359
<v Speaker 2>Party and being involved. You know, maybe this is the

371
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:21.640
<v Speaker 2>time he finds lightning in a bottle. I really wish

372
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:23.599
<v Speaker 2>he'd come on the show, but he's, like I said,

373
00:18:23.599 --> 00:18:25.480
<v Speaker 2>he hasn't been responsive to me. So we'll see if

374
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.160
<v Speaker 2>he comes on at some point in the future. But

375
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:30.440
<v Speaker 2>when we come back from break, we'll have Dick Wadhams

376
00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:33.240
<v Speaker 2>on again. That maybe that'll light you guys up as

377
00:18:33.279 --> 00:18:36.400
<v Speaker 2>to some comments. But get ready, we'll get to hear

378
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:38.400
<v Speaker 2>what he has to say about who can win and

379
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.960
<v Speaker 2>can this state come back from the brink of extinction.

380
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.359
<v Speaker 2>We listened to the Dan Caplass Show here with well

381
00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:44.599
<v Speaker 2>Kenny Sheriff Steve Rms.

382
00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.279
<v Speaker 6>You're listening to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.

383
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:58.039
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's the only one that's only one of

384
00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:03.920
<v Speaker 2>the most popular songs. But you know whatever, Well again, callers, texters.

385
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:05.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, if you also want to send in your

00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:08.519
<v Speaker 2>condolences for Kelly Heaven to attend the Metallica concert, you're

<v Speaker 2>welcome to do that too. You can text in at

388
00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:13.240
<v Speaker 2>five seven, seven, three nine, start your text off with Dan,

389
00:19:13.279 --> 00:19:14.960
<v Speaker 2>and we're starting to get some of them rolling in here.

390
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.720
<v Speaker 2>For some governor's candidates, you can also call in three

391
00:19:17.759 --> 00:19:20.640
<v Speaker 2>oh three seven one, three eight, two five five. But

392
00:19:20.759 --> 00:19:23.480
<v Speaker 2>right now we're going to go to our semi controversial

393
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:26.200
<v Speaker 2>figure with some of you, and that's mister Dick Watams. Dick,

394
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:30.000
<v Speaker 2>how are you doing? Mister Watams?

395
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:30.599
<v Speaker 4>Do we have you.

396
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:32.839
<v Speaker 7>See?

397
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.000
<v Speaker 4>How are you doing? Okay? Good? Long time no talk.

398
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:40.759
<v Speaker 2>But you know, I was on vacation for a little while,

399
00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:42.680
<v Speaker 2>came back and I was hoping that we would see

400
00:19:43.119 --> 00:19:46.200
<v Speaker 2>a governor's candidate that was really starting uh to catch

401
00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.440
<v Speaker 2>some speed on the Republican side, and it's still kind

402
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>of crickets, and that that got me to thinking that

403
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:54.079
<v Speaker 2>maybe it was time to talk to the old wise

404
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:58.599
<v Speaker 2>one by many people's measure, and see what you thought.

405
00:19:59.079 --> 00:20:01.359
<v Speaker 2>You know, is there a candidate in this race of

406
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:04.839
<v Speaker 2>fifteen candidates right now on the Republican side? Are you

407
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:08.079
<v Speaker 2>do you do you have confidence that there's a candidate

408
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:09.599
<v Speaker 2>in the race right now that can take this the

409
00:20:09.599 --> 00:20:10.240
<v Speaker 2>whole distance?

410
00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:14.519
<v Speaker 7>Well, I think the candidates themselves are going to have

411
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:18.599
<v Speaker 7>to answer that question, Steve, because running for governor is

412
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.359
<v Speaker 7>a it's kind of a cliche, I guess, but it's

413
00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:26.680
<v Speaker 7>it's a major undertaking. Yeah, yeah, And we've seen over

414
00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:29.319
<v Speaker 7>and over in Colorado how not to run for governor.

415
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:32.279
<v Speaker 7>We've only elected one Republican governor in the past fifty

416
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.640
<v Speaker 7>four years, and that was Governor Bill Owens in nineteen

417
00:20:35.720 --> 00:20:39.240
<v Speaker 7>ninety eight, and then he was re elected by a

418
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:44.960
<v Speaker 7>large margin in two thousand and two. So essentially we've

419
00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:51.480
<v Speaker 7>had five consecutive elections of Democrats and someone's who left office.

420
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:54.839
<v Speaker 7>But what I do think these candidates how to do, Steve,

421
00:20:54.960 --> 00:20:58.319
<v Speaker 7>is even though it was nineteen ninety eight, Owen run

422
00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:04.599
<v Speaker 7>that election and the state has changed campaign technology has changed,

423
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:07.920
<v Speaker 7>but I will tell you I still think it's worthwhile

424
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:10.839
<v Speaker 7>if every one of these candidates would take a very

425
00:21:10.880 --> 00:21:14.839
<v Speaker 7>hard look that why Bill Owens won and everybody else

426
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:16.599
<v Speaker 7>is ast in the last fifty four years.

427
00:21:16.920 --> 00:21:19.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, and you might you might have some insight into

428
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.839
<v Speaker 2>that if I'm not mistaken, because I think you were

429
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:26.240
<v Speaker 2>pretty pivotal in that governor's race. What are some of

430
00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:28.960
<v Speaker 2>the things that Owens did that you're not necessarily seeing

431
00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:29.799
<v Speaker 2>from these candidates.

432
00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:34.440
<v Speaker 7>Well, I had the owner of being the governor's campaign manager,

433
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.680
<v Speaker 7>and ninety eight courch Is his press secretary for three

434
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:41.559
<v Speaker 7>years in the governor's office after that. The fact is

435
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:44.480
<v Speaker 7>that Steve, is that Owens ran on a very clear

436
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:48.839
<v Speaker 7>agenda and an agenda that won a primary against a

437
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:53.480
<v Speaker 7>very strong opponent, the Senate President Tom Norton of Greeley,

438
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.319
<v Speaker 7>with the opponent's in that primary, but he ran and

439
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.920
<v Speaker 7>then we won against the Lieutenant Governor Gale Scheddler, who

440
00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:04.039
<v Speaker 7>as the lieutenant governor under Roy Romer, who was immensely

441
00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 7>popular leading office that year. But Owens ran on three issues,

442
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:13.079
<v Speaker 7>to cut taxes, to reform education, and to improve transportation.

443
00:22:13.279 --> 00:22:16.799
<v Speaker 7>And he had very clear policy positions behind every one

444
00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:20.440
<v Speaker 7>of those points, and they were issues that people cared about.

445
00:22:20.920 --> 00:22:25.960
<v Speaker 7>They knew cutting taxes is obvious, and reforming education, he

446
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.359
<v Speaker 7>wanted to improve school choice. Owen one of the main

447
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.359
<v Speaker 7>instigators of chartered schools when he was in the legislature.

448
00:22:33.880 --> 00:22:37.200
<v Speaker 7>And in terms of highways, we laid out a plan

449
00:22:37.880 --> 00:22:42.720
<v Speaker 7>to dramatically increase and accelerate twenty six key projects around

450
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 7>the state. And the reason why he got re elected,

451
00:22:46.079 --> 00:22:47.799
<v Speaker 7>by the way, is because he implemented every one of

452
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:51.880
<v Speaker 7>those things. But I cannot stress enough, Steve, that these

453
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:54.640
<v Speaker 7>candidates have got to think long and hard why they

454
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.559
<v Speaker 7>are running for this office, because even more than a

455
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:01.920
<v Speaker 7>US Senator running for governor, Pepe require specificity in terms

456
00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:04.200
<v Speaker 7>of the agenda. They want to know what the heck

457
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:06.559
<v Speaker 7>are you going to do for me? So they inherently know.

458
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:08.119
<v Speaker 7>Governors do impact the lives.

459
00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:11.960
<v Speaker 2>Call red you have and the ability to directly deliver

460
00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:12.759
<v Speaker 2>on what you're.

461
00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:14.400
<v Speaker 4>Promising you do.

462
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:16.960
<v Speaker 7>And I'll tell you what the difference between the US

463
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.039
<v Speaker 7>Senator and governor. And I loved working for a bunch

464
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:22.279
<v Speaker 7>of US senators in my life, the governor really has

465
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:27.759
<v Speaker 7>the ability to impact every citizen in Colorado, every day.

466
00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:30.799
<v Speaker 7>And so if candidates, if all they can say to

467
00:23:30.839 --> 00:23:33.000
<v Speaker 7>the answer to the question, why do you want to

468
00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:35.039
<v Speaker 7>be governor? Well, I think i'd do it's a good job,

469
00:23:35.160 --> 00:23:38.480
<v Speaker 7>or that ain't going to cut it. And so I

470
00:23:38.519 --> 00:23:41.400
<v Speaker 7>don't care what their agenda is. Necessarily, they just got

471
00:23:41.400 --> 00:23:44.519
<v Speaker 7>to figure out what it is and they've got to

472
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.119
<v Speaker 7>determine if if it relates to what people want in

473
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:49.119
<v Speaker 7>the governor, and then they've got to run on it.

474
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:52.759
<v Speaker 7>And they've got to be disciplined. And by the way, Steve,

475
00:23:52.799 --> 00:23:54.680
<v Speaker 7>if they think they can run to the far right

476
00:23:54.720 --> 00:23:57.319
<v Speaker 7>in the primary and then dive back to the middle

477
00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:59.960
<v Speaker 7>of the general, that does not work. You've got to

478
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.640
<v Speaker 7>have an agenda that can win the primary and win

479
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.160
<v Speaker 7>a general election and whatever that is.

480
00:24:06.359 --> 00:24:09.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, so you named us some things that Owens ran on,

481
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:10.920
<v Speaker 2>one of those being I'm going to you said, you know,

482
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.160
<v Speaker 2>traffic or road conditions, roadways, I'm going to call that infrastructure.

483
00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:18.480
<v Speaker 2>I think that's still an issue that can be won

484
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:21.640
<v Speaker 2>on in this state. In my opinion, One that you

485
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 2>didn't necessarily mention with Owens, but I think is hypercritical

486
00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.359
<v Speaker 2>now is the out of control crime that we have

487
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:29.759
<v Speaker 2>in Colorado. Do you think that's a winning issue as

488
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:30.759
<v Speaker 2>well for Republicans.

489
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:32.160
<v Speaker 4>I do.

490
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:35.799
<v Speaker 7>And you know it's interesting, Steve, because well, crime was

491
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:39.400
<v Speaker 7>an issue back in ninety eight is it's always an issue,

492
00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:42.240
<v Speaker 7>but it didn't have the prominence we have today.

493
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:43.400
<v Speaker 4>I mean, I don't think we.

494
00:24:43.279 --> 00:24:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Were the most We're the second most dangerous state in

495
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:49.319
<v Speaker 2>the nation right now. I mean by every measure.

496
00:24:50.759 --> 00:24:53.640
<v Speaker 7>Exactly. And so frankly, if I was developing an agenda

497
00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:56.599
<v Speaker 7>today for a campaign for governor, I crime would be

498
00:24:56.640 --> 00:25:00.680
<v Speaker 7>one of those three issues. I still think that education

499
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 7>is still a big deal. Sure, that's just it just is.

500
00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:07.440
<v Speaker 7>And we now know so many of our elementary school

501
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.440
<v Speaker 7>kids cannot read at grade level. I mean, the education

502
00:25:11.559 --> 00:25:16.759
<v Speaker 7>system continues to fail our kids. And so I think

503
00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:19.880
<v Speaker 7>I think crime is definitely one of the major issues

504
00:25:19.920 --> 00:25:21.039
<v Speaker 7>going into this campaign.

505
00:25:21.720 --> 00:25:25.079
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, again, we've had several other candidates on here,

506
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:27.559
<v Speaker 2>and they've they've all, you know, they've had some talking points,

507
00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:30.799
<v Speaker 2>but a clear direction for where they're going. I haven't

508
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.960
<v Speaker 2>necessarily heard that yet. And again, I think in the

509
00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:36.039
<v Speaker 2>early days of any candidacy, you know, you're kind of

510
00:25:36.039 --> 00:25:37.720
<v Speaker 2>feeling things out and trying to figure out where you

511
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:39.359
<v Speaker 2>want to go and you know, that's why they do

512
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:41.720
<v Speaker 2>the interviews they do and try to get some feedback.

513
00:25:41.759 --> 00:25:44.799
<v Speaker 2>But you know, to the point you made, you're gonna

514
00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:46.200
<v Speaker 2>have to come out swinging. You're gonna have to come

515
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:48.839
<v Speaker 2>out swinging pretty hard, I believe. Do you do you

516
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.720
<v Speaker 2>think there is a pathway for the right Republican candidate

517
00:25:52.799 --> 00:25:54.559
<v Speaker 2>to get there and get across the finish line or

518
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:55.519
<v Speaker 2>do you think this state.

519
00:25:55.400 --> 00:25:56.079
<v Speaker 4>Is just gone?

520
00:25:57.279 --> 00:25:59.680
<v Speaker 7>Well, let me mention one other thing that I didn't

521
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.200
<v Speaker 7>really steve is that you also have to run a

522
00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:07.200
<v Speaker 7>strong contrast campaign with a democratic campaign. We ran a

523
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:12.279
<v Speaker 7>very aggressive campaign pointing out our agenda versus our opponents,

524
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:14.480
<v Speaker 7>and so we did not sit around thinking that all

525
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:16.000
<v Speaker 7>we had to do is talk about all the good

526
00:26:16.000 --> 00:26:21.039
<v Speaker 7>things about our agenda. We ran a very aggressive contrast campaign.

527
00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:24.839
<v Speaker 7>Some people call that negative. I call it contrast. People

528
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:27.559
<v Speaker 7>have got to know what the choice is and if

529
00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:29.799
<v Speaker 7>we hadn't done that, we wouldn't have won. And so

530
00:26:29.880 --> 00:26:32.200
<v Speaker 7>you've got to have a strong agenda, and then you've

531
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:34.960
<v Speaker 7>got to run. You've got to run right as your opponent.

532
00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:39.960
<v Speaker 7>In terms of drawing the contrast to your question, yeah,

533
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:43.799
<v Speaker 7>I listen, you never know about politics and what could happen.

534
00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:48.880
<v Speaker 7>The fact is that Democrats have been on a real

535
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.200
<v Speaker 7>run lately. But you know what, I think the sense

536
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:55.160
<v Speaker 7>of the public is starting to get tired of the

537
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:59.880
<v Speaker 7>crimes you point out earlier that they're tired of the

538
00:27:00.279 --> 00:27:03.559
<v Speaker 7>of the excesses of this of these democrats to the

539
00:27:03.599 --> 00:27:06.759
<v Speaker 7>run the legislature and the and the governorship, and and

540
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 7>and the arrogance of the of those Democrats. They they

541
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:13.200
<v Speaker 7>are conveying right now that they are going to be

542
00:27:13.319 --> 00:27:17.680
<v Speaker 7>enshrined in the majority forever. I think I think voters

543
00:27:17.720 --> 00:27:22.359
<v Speaker 7>will reject that. And so I think the the the

544
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:26.319
<v Speaker 7>the the potential is there for a very strong challenge

545
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.480
<v Speaker 7>to win an open seat for governor, probably against Michael Bennett.

546
00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.799
<v Speaker 7>That maybe Wiser, that's pretty general. Wiser can pull off

547
00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:36.880
<v Speaker 7>an upset, But I think I think a strong candidate

548
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:39.799
<v Speaker 7>who has run on a strong agenda should win. And

549
00:27:39.839 --> 00:27:41.519
<v Speaker 7>then the other thing, you got to raise money. And

550
00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:43.359
<v Speaker 7>that's that's hard. That's hard.

551
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:45.519
<v Speaker 2>That's really hard in this state, considering some of the

552
00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 2>history we've had with a few of the past chairs.

553
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.279
<v Speaker 2>But Dick, you gave the insight that I was looking for.

554
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:54.200
<v Speaker 2>I really appreciate you coming on the show. Kind of

555
00:27:54.200 --> 00:27:56.920
<v Speaker 2>a short segment, but you've got the text line going

556
00:27:56.960 --> 00:28:00.279
<v Speaker 2>a little bit because you're always a controversial figure with

557
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:03.240
<v Speaker 2>some of these folks and for that, I appreciate you.

558
00:28:03.480 --> 00:28:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Appreciate you, and thank you.

559
00:28:05.559 --> 00:28:05.759
<v Speaker 4>Dick.

560
00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:08.000
<v Speaker 2>Stay stay involved in the fight. I'm sure we'll we'll

561
00:28:08.039 --> 00:28:11.039
<v Speaker 2>see you somewhere around this governor's race as it continues on.

562
00:28:11.119 --> 00:28:13.359
<v Speaker 2>And again thanks for coming on the show. We're gonna

563
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:16.200
<v Speaker 2>cut the brake. You're listening to the Dan Capless Show

564
00:28:16.200 --> 00:28:18.160
<v Speaker 2>here on six point thirty k how with Wilkan Sheriff

565
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:20.119
<v Speaker 2>Steve Reims setting in on the driver's seat.

566
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:29.440
<v Speaker 6>And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcast.

567
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:31.240
<v Speaker 4>Blue Hawaii.

568
00:28:31.519 --> 00:28:33.480
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, you're a man un Blue.

569
00:28:33.799 --> 00:28:36.119
<v Speaker 5>Well, I see tiny bubbles.

570
00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:39.279
<v Speaker 4>Just so you know, i'd run other here Metallico for

571
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:42.039
<v Speaker 4>just being hot. So if you were with us.

572
00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:44.039
<v Speaker 2>In that last segment, we had Dick Adams on talking

573
00:28:44.079 --> 00:28:48.480
<v Speaker 2>a little bit about you know, does a governor does

574
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:50.720
<v Speaker 2>a Republican candidate have a chance for a governor in

575
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:54.319
<v Speaker 2>this state? Uh, you know, I didn't expect him to

576
00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:56.279
<v Speaker 2>really pick a candidate and say this is the guy

577
00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:58.720
<v Speaker 2>that can win, and he didn't. He said, you know,

578
00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.079
<v Speaker 2>these guys got to define their own and and kind

579
00:29:01.079 --> 00:29:03.119
<v Speaker 2>of go forward. But again, I just want to go

580
00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:05.559
<v Speaker 2>through the names again. We had Mark Baisley on, Scott

581
00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:10.559
<v Speaker 2>Bottoms on, We're gonna have Jason Clark on tomorrow. There's

582
00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:14.240
<v Speaker 2>a Bryson Garrison that we'll have on on Wednesday, Steven Guests,

583
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:19.799
<v Speaker 2>John Gray Ginsburg, Joshua Griffin, Greg Lopez, William McBride, which

584
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.480
<v Speaker 2>we'll have on today, Jason mike Sel he's a sheriff

585
00:29:22.480 --> 00:29:24.319
<v Speaker 2>down and teller. We've had him on a couple of times.

586
00:29:25.400 --> 00:29:28.160
<v Speaker 2>Robert Moore, Alexander who got to we had him on,

587
00:29:28.319 --> 00:29:31.799
<v Speaker 2>Jim Runberg, and Daniel Thomas, And again I'll try to

588
00:29:31.799 --> 00:29:33.759
<v Speaker 2>get as many of them on as I can, just

589
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:35.759
<v Speaker 2>so we find out, Hey, is there one of these

590
00:29:35.799 --> 00:29:38.279
<v Speaker 2>people that is that lightning in a bottle? Do they

591
00:29:38.359 --> 00:29:40.640
<v Speaker 2>resonate with the listeners the way you want them to?

592
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:43.680
<v Speaker 2>But you know, having Dick on, I know is always

593
00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:45.599
<v Speaker 2>going to be a little bit controversial because sometimes he

594
00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:48.799
<v Speaker 2>says things that people don't want to hear. Yeah, or

595
00:29:49.160 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't you just flat out don't agree with him.

596
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 2>So some of the texts it says when Watams comes on,

597
00:29:53.119 --> 00:29:56.960
<v Speaker 2>I go off. We'll be back when this rhino goes away. Yeah,

598
00:29:57.400 --> 00:29:58.559
<v Speaker 2>everybody's got an opinion.

599
00:29:58.599 --> 00:30:01.400
<v Speaker 6>He takes so much heat. He's like a pro wrestler

600
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:03.920
<v Speaker 6>though he is heel and he just draws the heat.

601
00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:06.440
<v Speaker 2>He just he's got he's got to take the slap right.

602
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:08.640
<v Speaker 2>Another one here says, I will tell you right now,

603
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:11.319
<v Speaker 2>I'm one of those that doesn't necessarily like Dick Wadhams,

604
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:13.359
<v Speaker 2>but because you have him on sheriff, I will listen.

605
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:15.599
<v Speaker 4>So I hope you. I hope you got through the segment. There.

606
00:30:16.480 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Another one here that this person's obviously been drinking really early,

607
00:30:20.440 --> 00:30:21.240
<v Speaker 2>because it says, as a.

608
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:22.920
<v Speaker 4>Well county resident, I'd.

609
00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Seriously like to see I'd seriously like to see you Steve.

610
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:28.839
<v Speaker 4>Reims move from sheriff to governor. That person's been drinking.

611
00:30:28.799 --> 00:30:30.680
<v Speaker 6>Well, it's five o'clock somewhere and almost here.

612
00:30:31.039 --> 00:30:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely, I'd have to join him in order to

613
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:37.880
<v Speaker 2>make that move. And then someone actually gives you a

614
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:39.759
<v Speaker 2>little bit of credit. Ryan, They say they like the

615
00:30:39.759 --> 00:30:43.640
<v Speaker 2>idea of the Dan and sheriff ticket. You know, I'm

616
00:30:43.640 --> 00:30:45.319
<v Speaker 2>not going to say you couldn't talk me into it,

617
00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:46.799
<v Speaker 2>but you have to do a lot of talking and

618
00:30:46.880 --> 00:30:48.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe some of that drinking.

619
00:30:48.359 --> 00:30:49.200
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, to get thing.

620
00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:51.440
<v Speaker 6>You and me a couple of bruise. Yeah, who sounds

621
00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:55.279
<v Speaker 6>like a better and better idea? You Ryan lawyer and

622
00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:56.440
<v Speaker 6>the lawman. You were right.

623
00:30:56.599 --> 00:30:57.559
<v Speaker 4>I think we got this.

624
00:30:58.839 --> 00:31:00.440
<v Speaker 6>It suddenly turns into Stay Brothers.

625
00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 4>That's so for activities, just.

626
00:31:03.799 --> 00:31:06.359
<v Speaker 5>So I can say I did not object.

627
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, but you also haven't watched Step Brothers, so I

628
00:31:09.400 --> 00:31:10.960
<v Speaker 2>don't know if your opinion matter is true.

629
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:12.880
<v Speaker 5>That is true, I am not.

630
00:31:13.000 --> 00:31:15.519
<v Speaker 4>You're not allowed to have on this on this topic.

631
00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:19.039
<v Speaker 8>I've also never seen an episode of seinfeldcase has been

632
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:20.000
<v Speaker 8>more of.

633
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:23.119
<v Speaker 3>A literal communist Kelly for that for those reasons, or

634
00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:24.319
<v Speaker 3>Zora and Mamdani.

635
00:31:24.359 --> 00:31:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Well, so let's play let's play eight just to see,

636
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:28.720
<v Speaker 2>let's get a comparison.

637
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:30.680
<v Speaker 4>Cut eight.

638
00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:33.640
<v Speaker 5>But do you actually condemn it? I think that's the.

639
00:31:33.680 --> 00:31:37.240
<v Speaker 9>Question and the outstanding issue that a number of people,

640
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.119
<v Speaker 9>both of the Jewish faith and beyond have Do you

641
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:43.039
<v Speaker 9>condemn that phase globalize the indefado, which a lot of

642
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.200
<v Speaker 9>people here is a call to violence against Jews.

643
00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:47.759
<v Speaker 10>I've heard from many Jewish New Yorkers who have shared

644
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:50.680
<v Speaker 10>their concerns with me, especially in light of the horrific

645
00:31:50.680 --> 00:31:52.559
<v Speaker 10>attacks that we saw in Washington, d C. And in

646
00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:58.319
<v Speaker 10>Colder in Boulder, Colorado, about this moment of anti Semitism

647
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:00.400
<v Speaker 10>in our country and in our city. And I've heard

648
00:32:00.680 --> 00:32:03.799
<v Speaker 10>those fears, and I've had those conversations, and ultimately they

649
00:32:03.799 --> 00:32:06.400
<v Speaker 10>are part and parcel of why in my campaign I've

650
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:09.400
<v Speaker 10>put forward a commitment to increase funding for anti hate

651
00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:11.039
<v Speaker 10>crime programming by eight hundred percent.

652
00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:13.079
<v Speaker 6>I don't believe that the role of the.

653
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:16.680
<v Speaker 10>Mayor is to police speech in the manner, especially of

654
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:19.799
<v Speaker 10>that of Donald Trump, who has put one New Yorker

655
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.519
<v Speaker 10>in jail who's just returned to his family, Mahamud Khalil,

656
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:26.119
<v Speaker 10>for that very supposed crime of speech. Ultimately, what I

657
00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:29.440
<v Speaker 10>think I need to show is the ability to not

658
00:32:29.480 --> 00:32:31.440
<v Speaker 10>only talk about something, but to tackle it and to

659
00:32:31.440 --> 00:32:33.680
<v Speaker 10>make clear that there's no room brandy Semitism in the

660
00:32:33.680 --> 00:32:35.720
<v Speaker 10>city and we have to root out that bigotry and

661
00:32:35.799 --> 00:32:38.160
<v Speaker 10>ultimately we do that through the actions, and that is

662
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:40.279
<v Speaker 10>the mayor. I will be one that protects Jewish New

663
00:32:40.359 --> 00:32:42.720
<v Speaker 10>Yorkers and lives up to that commitment through the work

664
00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:43.039
<v Speaker 10>that I do.

665
00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:47.279
<v Speaker 2>So here's the thing, all right, maybe he's seen step brothers,

666
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:49.400
<v Speaker 2>so you know, give him a little bit of credit there.

667
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:52.960
<v Speaker 2>But this guy is running to be the mayor of

668
00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:56.680
<v Speaker 2>New York. This ground zero for the nine to eleven

669
00:32:56.720 --> 00:32:59.319
<v Speaker 2>attacks in two thousand and one, and you know, we

670
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:02.039
<v Speaker 2>went around saying we will never forget. This guy can't

671
00:33:02.079 --> 00:33:08.519
<v Speaker 2>even condemn the idea of globalizing the Inada. Look, he

672
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:11.440
<v Speaker 2>can't even he can't even come out and just say

673
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I am against violence against Americans, something that simple.

674
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:19.519
<v Speaker 4>I can't believe it.

675
00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:22.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know where I don't know where the voters

676
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:24.440
<v Speaker 2>in New York are coming from. But this guy is

677
00:33:24.480 --> 00:33:27.279
<v Speaker 2>being held up as like the road map for Democrats

678
00:33:27.319 --> 00:33:29.960
<v Speaker 2>to win, and we have to hope, we have to

679
00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:34.039
<v Speaker 2>hope they follow his lead. I think that I don't

680
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:36.720
<v Speaker 2>think that's a winning combination outside of very many areas.

681
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:39.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that that is a winning combination in

682
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:41.960
<v Speaker 2>the in the state of Colorado. And I don't think

683
00:33:42.000 --> 00:33:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Michael Bennett could be any more hated unless he started

684
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:45.799
<v Speaker 2>following this.

685
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:50.359
<v Speaker 4>Guy's Am I gonna am I gonna globalize?

686
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:59.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, Kelly's losing for zero Mamdani And you watched this

687
00:34:00.079 --> 00:34:02.759
<v Speaker 3>if I mentioned that, and Kristen Welker asked him Nott once,

688
00:34:03.319 --> 00:34:07.160
<v Speaker 3>not twice, but thrice. Yes, can you condemn the phrase

689
00:34:07.599 --> 00:34:09.079
<v Speaker 3>globalize the end to fado?

690
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:12.119
<v Speaker 6>It's a yes or no question. He never said yes.

691
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:13.840
<v Speaker 6>He so that's no.

692
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:16.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he can't say it because he doesn't believe that

693
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:19.440
<v Speaker 2>that's something that is. There's a it's not a problem

694
00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:21.159
<v Speaker 2>for him, and he's just gonna walk around. He's gonna

695
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:24.559
<v Speaker 2>whistle past the graveyard on that one. But back to

696
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.840
<v Speaker 2>our original topic, Kelly, how is it that you cannot

697
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:29.000
<v Speaker 2>have watched step Brothers? Yeah?

698
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:29.320
<v Speaker 4>Why not?

699
00:34:29.599 --> 00:34:30.519
<v Speaker 6>Adam's seen it right?

700
00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:31.119
<v Speaker 10>Oh?

701
00:34:31.199 --> 00:34:32.400
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, is her husband?

702
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:35.400
<v Speaker 4>Why didn't you watch it with him? It's fun.

703
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:37.840
<v Speaker 6>There's so much room for activities like the.

704
00:34:37.760 --> 00:34:40.199
<v Speaker 8>Sheriff's I also didn't see that other one that you

705
00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:44.159
<v Speaker 8>like that you always give me crapa Achermoon. I haven't

706
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:47.000
<v Speaker 8>seen that one, and I haven't seen Dumb and Dummer.

707
00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:47.960
<v Speaker 5>That's the one.

708
00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:50.039
<v Speaker 4>Just turn the microphone off.

709
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:50.719
<v Speaker 6>It's off.

710
00:34:51.599 --> 00:34:52.440
<v Speaker 4>We're gonna go to break.

711
00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:54.400
<v Speaker 2>When we come back in the next hour, we'll have

712
00:34:54.440 --> 00:34:58.280
<v Speaker 2>our our governor's candidate on board, Will McBride, and we'll see,

713
00:34:58.360 --> 00:35:01.079
<v Speaker 2>uh if he's got lightning in bottle. You're listening to

714
00:35:01.119 --> 00:35:04.239
<v Speaker 2>the Dan Kaplo Show here with Steve Reims. The Sheriff

715
