I make I make 42 00:01:52.760 --> 00:01:54.959 light of it, But it's a it's a very important role. 43 00:01:55.359 --> 00:01:57.319 And for the listeners, I mean, your job is to 44 00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:00.519 try to without any pun intended, whip up the votes 45 00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:03.879 you need to get people to support the agenda of 46 00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:08.879 the Republicans or and vice versa, to try to oppose 47 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.120 certain measures from the Democrats. Is that correct? 48 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:15.280 That is one hundred percent correct. So yeah, my job 49 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.520 with entails is whipping up votes, bringing the caucus together 50 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:22.879 to have these discussions on which bills that we're going 51 00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.599 to be supporting, why we're supporting them, which ones we 52 00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.159 should be opposing, why we oppose them, and then come 53 00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.360 up with the game plan to argue these bills at 54 00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:35.560 the well to to try to convince the other side 55 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.360 you know this is not a good idea, you should. 56 00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.039 Vote for this. This is This is the. 57 00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:43.000 Job of the minority whip, and I'm totally. 58 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:46.400 Prepared for it, and I know my caucus very well. 59 00:02:46.280 --> 00:02:49.879 The personalities, what the strengths all. We have many great 60 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:55.000 legislators on the Republican side that have very good, strong strengths, 61 00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.439 and also knowing the districts of our representatives and the 62 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.639 Republican caucuss, knowing that some districts are are pretty volatile, 63 00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:05.000 and and being able to give them that little, that 64 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.000 little nudge to to hey, this is this, this is 65 00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:08.280 for you. 66 00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:11.039 This is the type of battle you need for your district. 67 00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:13.599 Right that makes a lot of sense. And just mechanically, 68 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:16.000 since you guys are in recess, how is that vote taken? 69 00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:18.120 How I mean, I know you didn't have a you 70 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:20.280 couldn't have a special session or anything to determine this. 71 00:03:20.639 --> 00:03:23.199 How was that vote taken? How did you guys kind 72 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:26.120 of campaign for this? And you know, how did that? 73 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:27.159 How did that transpire? 74 00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.439 Yeah, historically, this, this vote, the leadership vote, is not 75 00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:34.400 publicly publicly announced. 76 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.400 It's not really like like we go out and we 77 00:03:36.479 --> 00:03:40.039 get campaign signs for it. It's it's all just a 78 00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:41.719 vote within our own caucus. 79 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:46.080 So historically, also this vote is taking this right before 80 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.840 session and and and most likely being done in person 81 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:52.560 because we're all we're all in the in the vicinity 82 00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.599 and getting ready for session to come up. 83 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.240 But you know, this representer of Armagas, who I also 84 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.919 mentioned in my in my nomine nation speech. 85 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:02.919 He did a great job in this position. He decided 86 00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:07.680 to step down to resign because he's making a move 87 00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:11.759 forward in his own personal life, which is very honorable 88 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:16.519 and very accepted that he's got to move to Arizona 89 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:17.240 for a new job. 90 00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:20.560 And so this is something that we don't really do. 91 00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:26.399 This time of year. But we did a zoom caucus meeting, 92 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:29.879 a zoom vote. It was a voice vote, so every member. 93 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:33.160 You know, our Caucustra went down to the roster of 94 00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:34.720 members and we all voted for. 95 00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:39.600 The phenominee publicly, and then that's how it went down. 96 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.199 All right, Well, congratulations Carlos. I know this is going 97 00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:43.839 to put more work on your plate, but I know 98 00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.839 you're a hard worker and you're very relational, and just 99 00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:49.800 in the short time you've been down at the state Capitol, 100 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.879 it's obvious that you've made some inroads down there. So 101 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:54.879 good luck to you. And again, thanks for coming on 102 00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.079 the show and kind of breaking it down for us, 103 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.000 and congratulations to this new honor that has been bestowing 104 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:00.600 upon you. 105 00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:03.759 Thank you every of my Sheriffames. I hope to see 106 00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:04.560 you here soon. Body. 107 00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:08.160 You bet nice talking with you with that. We've got 108 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.399 a collar on the line. Gary from Centennial, You've been 109 00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:13.240 waiting quite a while, and I want to get to 110 00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.839 you because you have some comments about Joshua Griffin, candidate 111 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:21.480 for governor. Gary. Yeah, what do you got Gary? 112 00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:24.360 Hi there, Sarah Fremes. Yeah, I I as soon as 113 00:05:24.399 --> 00:05:27.000 you got Don Cock and I flipped over. I went 114 00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.360 on to get next account, you know, and he has 115 00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.920 a something that's posted on here about I had to 116 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:37.560 test that far right politics as much as I do 117 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.800 the far left. Okay, I will never pans her fall 118 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:47.199 or bow to the so called magi cult. I'd like 119 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:50.480 some definition on that, because you know, I'm not hardcore maggot, 120 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:53.519 but I'm as conservative. But I would never. 121 00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:55.519 Bash Well. 122 00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:57.439 It's a huge tunk of this party. 123 00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:00.000 Yeah, you know that. We had a text come in 124 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:02.680 that kind of said the same thing. You know, you're 125 00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:05.560 probably hurting yourself if you're walking away from the Republican 126 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.839 Party but running as a Republican. I don't know, it's 127 00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.160 a it's a different strategy, There's no doubt about that. 128 00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:15.439 Gary Well, I think troubling when he has idea for 129 00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.959 light rail, it looks like connecting Puebwell to Fort Collins. 130 00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:23.680 There's I don't know. I think the light rail thing 131 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.160 is uh, it's a pie in the sky mess in 132 00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:31.040 my opinion. I don't think there's any there's there's just 133 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.439 not a feasible pathway to make that even make sense 134 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:34.959 in my mind. 135 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.800 Me neither. Well, So, yeah, that's that's something what I 136 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.079 found in here, and I just that was just a 137 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:43.959 quick right off the bat. 138 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:47.399 Gary. What I would I would suggest to you is, 139 00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:49.519 you know, hit him up on Twitter, hit him up 140 00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.879 on X whatever you call it nowadays, and ask him 141 00:06:51.879 --> 00:06:54.959 to explain it. Uh, you know, maybe maybe we're reading 142 00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:58.680 into this wrong. I don't know, but sometimes the best 143 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:01.399 way to get a get an answer asked the question. 144 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:04.480 And one of the there's a couple of people at 145 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:06.639 ask them in the comments underneath that post. Do you 146 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.160 never responded to either one of them? 147 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.079 Well give them another one who knows. So from the 148 00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.600 people that we've had on, has anyone resonated with you 149 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:16.560 at Gary where you say that's my candidate? Have you 150 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:19.120 picked your candidate? Have you picked your horse yet? Are 151 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:19.759 you still waiting? 152 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:26.079 Still? Are still waiting on? You all running? And I'll 153 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:29.920 go through and I'll uh, I'm pretty uh pretty diligent. 154 00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:32.920 Whatever I do this, I go through and me too, 155 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.240 Me too, somebody. 156 00:07:36.639 --> 00:07:38.680 Is there a candidate out there that you think are 157 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.920 a potential candidate out there that you'd love to see 158 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:43.160 hop in the race that isn't announced yet? Is there 159 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.560 someone out there that just you know that that would 160 00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:46.240 be your person? 161 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:47.839 Oh? 162 00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.879 I actually really like Heidi, But yeah, I don't I 163 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:52.240 don't think. 164 00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.079 I don't know. I don't want to speak for her. 165 00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.879 I don't think she'll be on here Wednesday. 166 00:07:56.920 --> 00:07:59.600 You can call in and ask her then, So that's 167 00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:03.160 that's a your answer. I mean, you know, let's just 168 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.800 be candid. Going up against the Polist machine is tough. 169 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.079 It's tough for any candidate, and she she went in 170 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:12.560 during a really tough time. I mean, and I think 171 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:18.079 I think Heidi worked. 172 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.720 Ahead that people didn't see the debate. 173 00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.680 Yeah, so you're one hundred percent right on that, and 174 00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:24.199 you know, I'm I'm a political nerd. It sounds like 175 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.319 you might be as well. And I say that affectionately. 176 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:29.639 I watched the debates and you're right, it wasn't even close. 177 00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.879 And if that were the Yeah, if that were the 178 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.399 barometer by which people voted, we would have we would 179 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.240 not have Governor Polus in office right now. 180 00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.879 That's that's for darns absolutely well. 181 00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:44.600 You know, like I said, she'll be on here Wednesday. 182 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:47.399 You can call in and see if you can convince her. 183 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.320 I'm still I would still like to see Dan Kaplis 184 00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.799 jump in the race, but that's uh, that's my personal 185 00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.559 racehorse at this point. I'm probably I'm probably not going 186 00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:59.440 to see that happen. But who knows. I mean, anybody 187 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:01.879 can get motive at any time. I don't think Heidi 188 00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.559 was necessarily looking at her whole life and saying I'm 189 00:09:04.559 --> 00:09:07.600 going to run for governor. But you know, I think 190 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:09.639 she gave it the College try. She just gave it 191 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:15.200 the College tried a really tough political time. Well, thanks 192 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:18.759 for calling in, Gary, appreciate that and have a good afternoon. 193 00:09:18.840 --> 00:09:23.840 We appreciate it, you bet. So that's Gary's take on 194 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.600 on Joshua Griffin. What's say the rest of you? And 195 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:30.039 in addition, you know, congratulations to Carlos Baron out there. 196 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:34.240 We've had Ryan armagost On several times kind of in 197 00:09:34.279 --> 00:09:38.159 his in his escapades with the Second Amendment Caucus and 198 00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.200 fighting back and forth with r mg O, and you know, 199 00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.120 we we spoke about him a little bit last week 200 00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:46.639 when he was looking at at walking away and some 201 00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:49.080 people that want to fill his seat. But he's got 202 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.159 some immediate duties that had to be filled and that's 203 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.960 one of those is being the minority whip. So congratulations 204 00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:56.639 to Carlos Baron. Great guy. He lives in Fort Lopton. 205 00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.320 I've got a chance to know him since he's he's 206 00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.720 gotten elected to that seat and very I mean he's 207 00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.360 a very thoughtful guy. I don't think he's taking a 208 00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.480 vote on an issue that would cross with law enforcement 209 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:12.159 that he hasn't called me and or texted me and 210 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:16.120 gotten my opinion on on where I stand on particular issues. 211 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:17.919 And that's that's about all you can ask for. And 212 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.399 a representative who's fighting the minority down there. But again, 213 00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:23.399 I think he'll be a very relational person that can 214 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:25.360 help move the needle down to the state Capitol. But 215 00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:27.759 if you've got to comments on any of that stuff, 216 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:29.840 you can text in at five seven, seven, three nine, 217 00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:32.200 start your text with Dan, or call in like Gary 218 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:34.559 did from Centennial three oh three seven one three eight 219 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:36.720 two five five. I'll be nice to you. I'm not 220 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:38.360 going to beat you up on the radio, but I 221 00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:40.759 love hearing what you have to say about the topics 222 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:43.200 that we're discussing, whether it's Epstein, whether it's your Fourth 223 00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:46.279 of July traditions, or the governor's candidate we had on 224 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:48.919 you know, we've had I think he was our ninth 225 00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:53.000 one today, we'll have our tenth on tomorrow. I've got 226 00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:55.919 messages out to the remainder of the four or five 227 00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.879 that are out there. We'll we'll see if any of 228 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.840 them are daring enough to take a swing at the 229 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:04.360 Dan Caplis Show. But with that, we'll cut the break. 230 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:06.240 When we come back, we'll see if you guys are 231 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:09.360 ready to engage a little more, and we'll chop it 232 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.840 up here before we have George Brockler on at five 233 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:13.879 point thirty six, so we'll go to break. You listen 234 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:16.080 to the Dan Capleas Show here with Well Kenny Sheriff 235 00:11:16.039 --> 00:11:17.799 Steve Riams as your guest host. 236 00:11:23.879 --> 00:11:26.320 And now back to the Dan Kaplas Show podcast. 237 00:11:27.720 --> 00:11:30.639 Governor's candidate that we had on a little earlier, Joshua Griffin. 238 00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.960 And I also got a text message that kind of 239 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:38.000 speaks to the candidacy of Joshua Griffin, and the Texter 240 00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.679 actually sent it to my personal phone and said, well, 241 00:11:41.399 --> 00:11:44.600 you know, Trump lost Colorado, so maybe this guy's onto something. 242 00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.600 Maybe his his pathway to his candidacy makes more sense 243 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:51.679 because Trump didn't do very well in Colorado and the 244 00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:55.480 Republicans haven't fared so well here, so maybe maybe this 245 00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:59.039 guy's got a better plan. I don't know. It's going 246 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:02.120 to be interesting, It's it's going to be a cage fight. 247 00:12:02.200 --> 00:12:06.159 To watch how some of these candidates move forward, and 248 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.320 you know how they kind of navigate the landscape, I 249 00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:11.679 mean bypassing all the normal events and you know, kind 250 00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:16.360 of engaging with non traditional voters hadn't been tried to 251 00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:20.159 my knowledge. So maybe that's maybe that's the winning combination. 252 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.399 I guess we're going to find out soon enough. Also 253 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.960 got a text that reminded me of a little scenario 254 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.200 that played out over the weekend in a parade that 255 00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:32.600 I was in. One of my friends here says nice 256 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.200 seeing you at the parade. Keep up the good radio, 257 00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:39.200 and he refers to me as his beer his beard broke, 258 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:43.799 because we both have similarly styled beards. So with that, 259 00:12:44.559 --> 00:12:47.480 when I walked in the Stampede Parade this year, I mean, 260 00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.399 that's got to be I think the first one I 261 00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:52.000 ever walked in was probably two thousand and nine, twenty ten, 262 00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:54.440 and I've walked in I don't know how many parades 263 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.720 in Weld County. I think we're the parade in this 264 00:12:56.879 --> 00:13:00.399 county and all of Colorado, we have like twenty eight 265 00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:04.200 or thirty two parades that happened during the summer season. 266 00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:07.080 Because there's so many little communities throughout World County, four 267 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.639 thousand square miles. Everybody has their own celebration. But in 268 00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.639 all those years of taking part in a parade and 269 00:13:13.320 --> 00:13:16.120 walking with the Republican Party, or walking for my own 270 00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.120 candidacy and trying to get my name recognition out there 271 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:22.720 for my own races, I've never seen anyone that was 272 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:27.200 as fully triggered as an individual during the Stampede parade 273 00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.519 this weekend in Greeley. And I've had a lady stand 274 00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:33.600 in her front yard in Millican or the front yard 275 00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:37.679 of a schoolhouse in Milliican and double handed flip me 276 00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:40.840 off for the entire time that the float went by 277 00:13:41.039 --> 00:13:43.919 back in like I don't know, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen. 278 00:13:44.159 --> 00:13:46.840 She was not a fan of my campaign or me personally. 279 00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.440 She never said a word. She just stood there and 280 00:13:49.600 --> 00:13:51.600 flipped me off and made sure that I knew that 281 00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.679 she was not a fan. But you know, I've had 282 00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:57.279 plenty of people, you know, support me and vote for 283 00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:59.519 me three times to get me into office. And you know, 284 00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:03.000 usually feedback is pretty good in the parades, But in 285 00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.840 this particular parade in Weld County, which is definitely conservative territory, 286 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.799 there was a person that was walking with the Republican float, 287 00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.519 and he had on a shirt that said it's a 288 00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.440 big picture of Trump's face on the shirt, and on 289 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:21.600 the shirt it says sexiest man Alive. And it's referring 290 00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:24.960 to Donald Trump, and it's you know, it's a controversial shirt, 291 00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:28.799 I guess for someone who's not necessarily a Republican fan. 292 00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.240 And this guy who's walking with the Republicans, he's just 293 00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:34.879 walking down the street, you know, he's got his MAGA 294 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:40.399 hat on and supporting Republican politics again in Greeley, Weld County, Colorado. 295 00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:45.559 And this viewer of the parade from the sidelines, he 296 00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.679 just gets extremely upset and basically spends the rest of 297 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.080 the parade from about the quarter mark in And the 298 00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:57.480 parade in greeley's pretty long if you've ever set through it. 299 00:14:57.480 --> 00:14:59.879 I mean, it's a long walk that you take down. 300 00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:04.399 I guess it's Tenth Street or tenth ab in Greeley. 301 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:06.200 You walked from the university all the way down to 302 00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:09.159 the north end of town. But this guy walked along 303 00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:12.120 on the sidewalk on the parade route for the entire 304 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:15.399 length of three quarters of the length of the parade, 305 00:15:15.799 --> 00:15:20.480 screaming at our individual that was wearing the Trump shirt. 306 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.120 He was just triggered. He was screaming and yelling and 307 00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.000 arguing that Trump wasn't really the president, that forty nine 308 00:15:27.000 --> 00:15:31.279 percent wasn't the majority. I mean, just the most ridiculous things, 309 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:34.279 all the way along the parade route, all while families 310 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.240 are sitting there trying to enjoy the parade. So he's 311 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.759 weaving in and out of these families while he's walking 312 00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:41.759 down the sidewalk, just screaming and yelling back and forth 313 00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:46.080 at our group as we walked in the parade. And 314 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:48.200 I was far enough back that I could see it happening, 315 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.080 but I couldn't really hear exactly what was being said. 316 00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.639 There was some video that was posted later on Facebook, 317 00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.080 and it was just I don't understand people. You know, 318 00:15:57.120 --> 00:16:00.799 the triggering effect that the political process is having on folks. 319 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:05.559 It's a little unhinged at this point, I guess, And yeah, 320 00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:08.200 people just have to be adults. But in the I 321 00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.720 don't know, the fifteen plush years that I've been walking 322 00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.879 in parades, And granted I supported Ken Buck when he 323 00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:17.919 was running for US Senate, that wasn't necessarily a popular 324 00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:20.960 stance back then. It sure wouldn't be a popular stance 325 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:23.919 now with some of the stuff that he went through 326 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.120 towards the end of the he I guess brought on himself 327 00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:29.279 at the end of his tenure in Congress, but even 328 00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.279 supporting ken Buck in those Senate races and then in 329 00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:34.840 his house races. I never had anybody scream at me 330 00:16:35.519 --> 00:16:37.600 like what we saw at the parade in Greeley. Again, 331 00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.600 just unhinged lunacy. And I don't know ruin the parade 332 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.080 for well, I shouldn't say ruined. The parade probably caused 333 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:47.879 some questions of kids, you know, to ask their parents, 334 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:50.240 what's wrong with that guy? And he seemed he looked 335 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:52.360 totally normal. It wasn't like he was a you know, 336 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:55.440 a deranged homeless person that had had fixated on the 337 00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.159 guy on our person in the Trump shirt. He was 338 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:02.399 obviously a demic that was not happy, and he was 339 00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:04.920 going to make that very well known, and he did 340 00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.559 so for quite some time throughout the PARADERA again, I 341 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.640 have something I've never seen. I hope I never see 342 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:20.720 it again, but just complete lunacy. Again, where does this 343 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:24.720 stuff come from? But we have triggering on the other 344 00:17:24.759 --> 00:17:27.480 side too. You got the Epstein list, and you know, 345 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:30.440 people a little upset with what's not coming out, and 346 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.839 maybe that's what we're going to get from David here. 347 00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.720 Oh no, he's calling in from Fort Collins. He's got 348 00:17:35.720 --> 00:17:37.599 to comment about the parade. Let's go to David. David, 349 00:17:37.599 --> 00:17:38.359 what do you got for us? 350 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:43.200 Okay, thank you for taking my call. Was listening to. 351 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.440 Your story about the man in the parade wearing the 352 00:17:48.480 --> 00:17:51.440 shirt with a picture Trump. That's a sexiest man alive. 353 00:17:52.400 --> 00:17:55.720 That is a friend of mine from my church, and 354 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:57.559 I got to tell you he wears that to the 355 00:17:57.720 --> 00:17:58.599 church every week. 356 00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:01.559 Also, yeah, he's I won't say his name because I 357 00:18:01.599 --> 00:18:03.400 don't know if he wants it out there, but that 358 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:05.559 is his attire. He wears that everywhere he. 359 00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:07.759 Goes, wears it proudly. 360 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:10.279 Yes, sir, Well, hey, I'm sorry, but we don't have 361 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.240 very much time.

How are you doing? 373 00:18:50.519 --> 00:18:51.319 How is your fourth? 374 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:53.799 It was great. We were talking about some of the 375 00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.240 traditions that you just have to check off to say 376 00:18:56.240 --> 00:18:58.400 that you had a good Fourth of July. And I 377 00:18:58.440 --> 00:19:00.400 think I checked off like ninety percent one of them 378 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:00.920 this weekend. 379 00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:03.720 But still have all your fingers and toes and all 380 00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:04.119 that stuff. 381 00:19:04.119 --> 00:19:06.039 Oh yeah, it's safety third. But we kept all the 382 00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:09.720 fingers and toes. How about you, do you have a 383 00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:10.759 good first? 384 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:13.960 It was interesting man. My son, my youngest set of 385 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:18.319 baseball tournament out in a place called Ogden, Utah. Not 386 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.319 the mecca out there that you might think. So they 387 00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.279 didn't really have like in Ogden itself in the city, 388 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.759 they didn't have a ton of fireworks. It was all 389 00:19:27.799 --> 00:19:29.519 out there in the hintry regions. They still had them. 390 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:30.839 Remember, yes, you're at it, but. 391 00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:32.920 It just was different. And I didn't get a light 392 00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:36.039 anything or you know, run the risk of blowing off 393 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.559 a kid's you know, fingers or toes or anything like 394 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.359 you normally would. So it just felt different. It's different 395 00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:42.680 than the old days when we were in the cul 396 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.160 to sack and you'd light something and run because. 397 00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.079 You never knew yaw quick diffuse. 398 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.720 We had one of those experiences with a rocket with 399 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:52.759 a little plastic fins on it where we lit it 400 00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.759 and it immediately went over our heads and backwards and 401 00:19:55.839 --> 00:19:59.160
