Speaker 1: This is Dan Capless and welcome to today's online podcast

Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download, and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform.
Speaker 2: This is not Dan Caplis.
Speaker 3: This is Heidiganol filling in for Dan, who's out on
Speaker 3: work assignment deposing someone. And I'm hanging out with Ryan
Speaker 3: this afternoon, having a great time talking about the DNC
Speaker 3: and Obamas speech last night, RFK Junior potentially dropping out
Speaker 3: of the race and maybe endorsing Trump. But we talked
Speaker 3: before the break Ryan about this website that the Trump
Speaker 3: campaign dropped after Jared Pullis lied and said he got
Speaker 3: her policy off of her website.
Speaker 2: There's nothing on her website.
Speaker 3: Trump campaign launched a website Kamala twenty twenty four policies
Speaker 3: dot com, and the headline is Kamala's dangerous policies are
Speaker 3: nothing to laugh about.
Speaker 2: Do you have a clip for me?
Speaker 4: Oh? You mean the laugh Matt laugh, all last, laugh, last,
Speaker 4: all right, you.
Speaker 5: Know yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's like an eternity. Oh my gosh, I forgot
Speaker 3: how long that.
Speaker 4: Question is the greatest. How long do you think that was?
Speaker 2: It feels like forever, two hours.
Speaker 6: It's only thirty three seconds, which I know that's going
Speaker 6: to shock people out there, because you're right, it feels
Speaker 6: like at least three minutes. But now I have the
Speaker 6: perfect torture device for our prisoners at Guantan.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I shouldn't laugh, because my laugh might be just
Speaker 2: as annoying.
Speaker 6: No, not even close. And yeah, it's gotten to a point.
Speaker 6: I think Donald Trump's right. He usually says things that's
Speaker 6: kind of crazy, but he gets it. I think from
Speaker 6: some reliable source that they have instructed her not to laugh,
Speaker 6: meaning the Democrats, the party, the campaign, like you can't
Speaker 6: do And if you've noticed too, Dave McCormick has done this.
Speaker 6: He's the Republican nominee for Senate in Pennsylvania. He's got
Speaker 6: some great ads out there and they sprinkle in every
Speaker 6: here and there. The laugh in what it does to me, Heidi,
Speaker 6: it just completely undermines her seriousness or credibility. I think
Speaker 6: with that laugh, that laugh alone, I know it's gonna
Speaker 6: sound now sexist.
Speaker 4: No, it's a weird laugh. She's weird. She's strange.
Speaker 2: Are you using their term you took back weird.
Speaker 6: Well because it's projection from them on one level. But
Speaker 6: the other part is when you hear that laugh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 6: I can't picture her at a summit with Vladimir Putin
Speaker 6: or Zelenski or Jijenping or anybody else on the world stage,
Speaker 6: especially adversaries, that they would take her seriously. I don't
Speaker 6: think that would be the case at all. I think
Speaker 6: they would look at her as a prime target. They
Speaker 6: would take all kinds of liberties carte blanche. I think
Speaker 6: Taiwan gets invaded. I am really afraid on the foreign
Speaker 6: policy front. They haven't talked about that with her, because
Speaker 6: she hadn't talked about any policy, but foreign.
Speaker 4: Policy in particular.
Speaker 6: Heidi, we are on the brink of absolute disaster if
Speaker 6: she wins this race.
Speaker 2: Well, and we know she's not really running anything.
Speaker 3: I think that's pretty obvious, and she won't be if
Speaker 3: she gets in as president. That's it's scary, scary, scary,
Speaker 3: But that's how I feel about it. Call me what
Speaker 3: you want, conspiracy theorists, whatever, but I think there's folks
Speaker 3: behind the scenes that.
Speaker 2: Are running the show.
Speaker 3: And I want to go back to this website for
Speaker 3: a minute, because man, they just lay it on thick
Speaker 3: what her agenda is. So remember this is the Trump
Speaker 3: campaign created a website about her policies because she hasn't
Speaker 3: done it. Kamala twenty twenty four policies dot com. Fighting
Speaker 3: to set murderers free, more Biden nomics, it's working, rising
Speaker 3: costs for nothing to worry about. More taxes, to ensure
Speaker 3: the middle class pays their fair share, abolished borders, bring
Speaker 3: back the New Green Deal. And Kamala believes in freedom
Speaker 3: for individuals associated with violent behavior formally referred.
Speaker 2: To as violent criminals. That's my favorite one.
Speaker 6: I also have a ninety second spot here on that
Speaker 6: website that you said, Heidi and as again is Kamala
Speaker 6: twenty twenty four policies dot com. This is pretty brutal.
Speaker 6: It's ninety seconds. I think it's worth a listen, let's
Speaker 6: go to it.
Speaker 2: If you're considered the most liberal United States senator.
Speaker 4: We're not going to treat people who are undocumented across
Speaker 4: the borders criminal, abolished ice.
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that a position that you agree with? We
Speaker 2: need to probably think about Starry pom stretch, say.
Speaker 4: It loud, say it clear. Everyone is welcome here. Pay
Speaker 4: your hand.
Speaker 2: If you think it should be a civil effect rather.
Speaker 7: Than a crime across the border, raise your hand.
Speaker 3: If your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants,
Speaker 3: you support giving the universal healthcare Medicare for All to
Speaker 3: people are in this country illegally.
Speaker 2: I am opposed to any policy that would be denied
Speaker 2: in our country any human being from access to public
Speaker 2: health period.
Speaker 4: Do you support the Medicare for All built?
Speaker 6: I believe it will totally eliminate private insurance for people
Speaker 6: out there who like their insurance, they don't get to
Speaker 6: keep it.
Speaker 2: Let's eliminate all of that.
Speaker 4: Loston Marathon bomber on death row.
Speaker 6: People who are convicted of sexual assault, they should be
Speaker 6: able to vote.
Speaker 1: I think we.
Speaker 5: Should have that conversation.
Speaker 8: As president of the United States, I am prepared to
Speaker 8: pass a Gringo deal.
Speaker 7: Would you ban option drilling?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 7: What is the solution for voters who have jobs and
Speaker 7: interests in the fossil.
Speaker 8: Fuel industry transition into the jobs of the future.
Speaker 2: So what do you support.
Speaker 7: Changing the dietary high produced red.
Speaker 4: Meats for something like yes?
Speaker 6: I would we have to have a buyback program, and
Speaker 6: I support a mandatory buyback program.
Speaker 3: Yikes, that is terrifying. We cannot let her into the presidency.
Speaker 3: And guys, there are seventy five days left to fight
Speaker 3: this battle, or we may be stuck with that terrible
Speaker 3: laugh everywhere because.
Speaker 4: It's terrible policies which are even worse.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no kidding, That's it too, isn't it though?
Speaker 4: Heidi?
Speaker 6: I mean, we've been talking about how Pennsylvania is such
Speaker 6: a key in this entire election, and Nate Silver's done
Speaker 6: the analysis. No matter who wins that they're going to
Speaker 6: stand about a ninety five percent chance of winning if
Speaker 6: they win Pennsylvania. How does she back off of that
Speaker 6: square where she says absolutely, I would ban fracking on
Speaker 6: day one, offshore drilling. We need to transition away from
Speaker 6: fossil fuel jobs. She's going to try to move away
Speaker 6: from that policy. How could she evencredibly do that?
Speaker 3: Well, this is a state where Josh Shapiro, their governor,
Speaker 3: already said they're not going to have the vote counts
Speaker 3: that night, They're gonna let it take a few days.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's just a recipe for disaster.
Speaker 3: But for those who want to help in Pennsylvania because
Speaker 3: it is so important, I've talked a little bit on
Speaker 3: the show about the Turning Point app.
Speaker 2: It's Turning Point Action. You can download it in the
Speaker 2: app store. It's free.
Speaker 3: You sign up to help, and you can actually call, text,
Speaker 3: or send postcards to low propensity Republican voters in Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: and it's super easy.
Speaker 2: You pull up a link and it gives you the
Speaker 2: name of the voter.
Speaker 3: You can either press a button and text them, or
Speaker 3: call them and talk to them, or send a postcard
Speaker 3: encouraging them to vote. And now these are people who
Speaker 3: likely didn't vote in twenty twenty but voted in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 3: and we need them to vote big time.
Speaker 2: Big Lee, big Lee, I.
Speaker 4: Can't totally, bigly.
Speaker 2: Okay, you can do Clinton and Trump, that's okay. Do
Speaker 2: you do Biden?
Speaker 4: Also, I can't.
Speaker 6: I've been told that when I try to do that,
Speaker 6: I sound like Dana Carvey impersonating Jimmy Stewart, so that
Speaker 6: there might be some truth to that.
Speaker 2: Have you done Kamala yet?
Speaker 6: I'm trying to get Kelly like to really do a
Speaker 6: workshop and get up to where she can impersonate Kamala
Speaker 6: because my voice doesn't lend itself to that.
Speaker 4: Where are you in the progress for that, Kelly, I.
Speaker 2: Haven't watched a lot of film on her yet.
Speaker 4: Is that what's gonna take.
Speaker 3: But we have to get to the root causes, because
Speaker 3: the causes are really down to the roots.
Speaker 6: Okay, that's a good start the nomenclature, but your voice
Speaker 6: sounds too good.
Speaker 4: It's a better voice.
Speaker 2: I have to practice.
Speaker 4: That's a good start, though, it's a good start.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: Well, anyway, everybody check out the Turning Point app.
Speaker 2: You can get on there. They have this thing called.
Speaker 3: Commit one hundred where everybody commits to reaching out to
Speaker 3: one hundred voters. We need Pennsylvania to win this thing.
Speaker 3: Everybody's got to help in Pennsylvania. Of course, we have
Speaker 3: some important races here, like we talked about Congressional District
Speaker 3: three with Jeff Hurd and Congressional District eight with Gabe Evans.
Speaker 2: Those are super critical and you can help there too.
Speaker 3: You can actually walk out the door and go visit
Speaker 3: those areas and help in that capacity. But you know, Ryan,
Speaker 3: I think I was a little discouraged with some of
Speaker 3: the primary turnouts in some of these states, Like Republicans
Speaker 3: are acting like, eh, this is just another election. This
Speaker 3: is not just another election. And the Democrats are are
Speaker 3: so hardcore activated that if we don't get off the
Speaker 3: couch and really get engaged in the next seventy five days,
Speaker 3: it's going to be bad news for America and bad
Speaker 3: news for Colorado, bad news for our kids and our grandkids.
Speaker 6: Two dominoes that will fall. One is Labor Day week
Speaker 6: in itself. Kids are going back to school. Now you're
Speaker 6: going to have most people locked in paying attention after
Speaker 6: Labor Day.
Speaker 4: Then you have that first debate.
Speaker 6: I think that timeline right there to measure enthusiasm coming
Speaker 6: away from that, I believe that most of us who
Speaker 6: are considered to be core Republican voters, are activated, are
Speaker 6: very motivated, are very enthusiastic, are very much consolidated around
Speaker 6: our candidate Donald Trump. And I think it's to your
Speaker 6: point about Pennsylvania. The reason the electoral math matters so
Speaker 6: much in that state, particularly alone, is if.
Speaker 4: Donald Trump takes Pennsylvania.
Speaker 6: Let's say I'm covering it for KOA that night, Election night,
Speaker 6: November five, and Pennsylvania comes in. You said, well, Josh Shapiro,
Speaker 6: and there might be delay in counting. Let's say it's
Speaker 6: a pretty you know it's a margin that is beyond
Speaker 6: that would be the margin of era. All Donald Trump
Speaker 6: would have to do at that point is hold North Carolina.
Speaker 4: Which is going to be a challenge.
Speaker 6: It's a state that's in play in Georgia, and he
Speaker 6: could lose Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, Arizona and still be at
Speaker 6: tune seventy.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 2: I didn't realize that.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: Well, after we come back from this break, I want
Speaker 3: to talk about a ballot initiative in Colorado before we
Speaker 3: bring Brita on about ranked choice voting and what a
Speaker 3: disaster it would be for our state. So this is
Speaker 3: Heidi Ganal filling in for Dan Kaplis. When we come back,
Speaker 3: we'll talk about ranked choice voting and bring Brita Horn on.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Taplas Show podcast.
Speaker 6: It is one of the oldest tricks in politics from
Speaker 6: a guy who has let's pay for gotten pretty stale.
Speaker 4: We do not need four more years a bluster and
Speaker 4: bumbling and chaos. We have seen that movie before and
Speaker 4: we all know.
Speaker 9: That the sequel is usually worse.
Speaker 3: Is he talking about the Harris administration?
Speaker 2: That Biden Harris administration?
Speaker 3: I mean, seriously, four years of bluster, bumbling, and chaos.
Speaker 3: That's what we are living through with their administration right now.
Speaker 2: I don't think he realized he's zinged himself.
Speaker 3: But Ryan, I'm sitting here watching some of the headlines
Speaker 3: go by, and I've seen some good ones on Fox
Speaker 3: right now. Laura Ingram underneath she was launching her show,
Speaker 3: said hope and change to is becoming hate and.
Speaker 2: Revenge at the RNC or the DNC.
Speaker 3: Sorry, And then another one was Obama's go mean girl
Speaker 3: at the DNC.
Speaker 2: As we just listened to, I thought that was pretty good.
Speaker 6: He did go yeah, And like I said, I was
Speaker 6: talking to before we went live here that Michelle and
Speaker 6: Barack gave very competent speeches. I thought that rallied their
Speaker 6: base was red meat for them, was ripping on Trump.
Speaker 4: But it felt a little.
Speaker 6: Beneath them, if that makes sense, like they've been built
Speaker 6: and exalted as these kind of above the fray. You know,
Speaker 6: the yesteryear Democrats of old, in the eight years of
Speaker 6: Obama where the halcionic years that we longed for a Democrats.
Speaker 6: And what they revealed to me was they were very
Speaker 6: small people. That's how it came across to me. Hiding,
Speaker 6: and I had to watch these things, unlike you and Kelly,
Speaker 6: who got out of it. But I watched and it
Speaker 6: just felt smaller than the moment, Like it wasn't aspirational,
Speaker 6: like that's a word that's usually attached at the hip
Speaker 6: to Barack Obama. He seemed less than he seemed like
Speaker 6: he lost his fastball. He was actually upstaged, I thought,
Speaker 6: in many ways by Michelle Obama. But yeah, to that
Speaker 6: mean girl's point, I think that's true. They were dwelling
Speaker 6: on that, and it just made them seem like, even
Speaker 6: if you're looking at it from a democratic point of view,
Speaker 6: you're lowering yourself to this level that you think Donald
Speaker 6: Trump's at, but you're behaving really the same way that
Speaker 6: you're accusing.
Speaker 4: Him of behaving.
Speaker 3: It just seems so elitist too, like this is this
Speaker 3: is a showcase, like Mandy said, for all their top politicians,
Speaker 3: all their.
Speaker 2: Top money people, billionaires.
Speaker 3: On stage, almost billionaires with Jared Polis And So what
Speaker 3: I like about the Trump campaign and what I liked
Speaker 3: about the RNC were the real American stories. But I
Speaker 3: also love that, I mean jd Vance thing used to
Speaker 3: like Trump. He openly admits that and there's some crazy
Speaker 3: clips things he's saying about Trump.
Speaker 2: But he came around and Amber Rose, the.
Speaker 3: Rap star who spoke at the RNC, didn't used to
Speaker 3: like Trump, but she came around and she realized that
Speaker 3: the media was lying to her about him. So many
Speaker 3: people that they had come up on stage had that
Speaker 3: theme of it's almost it's cool right to realize that
Speaker 3: you were being lied to about Trump and get on
Speaker 3: board now. And that's something that I think is going
Speaker 3: to work really well going forward. Look at who was
Speaker 3: who was turning the page and supporting Donald Trump now,
Speaker 3: Elon Musk, RFK Junior, Tulci Gabbard, Jdvan.
Speaker 2: Hulk Hogan was there at the RNC. You don't get
Speaker 2: more man of the people than Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 6: He was my childhood hero as a gen X boy
Speaker 6: growing up in the eighties. And he was it right,
Speaker 6: Hulk Hoogan. And he was not really active vocal in
Speaker 6: politics at all. I always suspected he was kind of
Speaker 6: quote one of us, you and me and Kelly here
Speaker 6: and our listeners as well. But when Trump got shot,
Speaker 6: he said it on the stage. You watched him, Heidi
Speaker 6: that that was his time to come out and say no,
Speaker 6: I'm a Trump supporter, and like you said, it's cool
Speaker 6: to be a Trump supporter. I think there's a certain
Speaker 6: feeling about that this time around, Heidi. That was not
Speaker 6: the case the last two times around. A lot of
Speaker 6: people might be Trump shy or Trump averse or Trump hesitant,
Speaker 6: and voters now I think are a lot more now
Speaker 6: our country's going in the wrong direction.
Speaker 4: I might not like him personally or some of the
Speaker 4: stuff he says, but.
Speaker 6: I'll take that for no wars and an economy that's
Speaker 6: thriving and peace at home.
Speaker 3: As evidenced by the new group Swifties for Trump.
Speaker 2: Did you see that?
Speaker 6: I did, And I don't know, oh how much of
Speaker 6: that is I always look at it with a jaundiced
Speaker 6: eye of how much of this is real?
Speaker 4: How much is ai are there? Really?
Speaker 6: Is there really a movement that's pushing this, So I'm
Speaker 6: trying to stay a little bit cautious with that one.
Speaker 3: Well, I have two daughters that are Swifties for Trump,
Speaker 3: so there's that they can start the movement. And I
Speaker 3: think that stemmed out of the terrorist threats that shut
Speaker 3: down three or four concerts of Hers in Europe, and
Speaker 3: some young fans were like, Wow, this is not cool,
Speaker 3: and we're going to get more of this if we
Speaker 3: support Kamala Harris and not support Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: That's my hope that that's how it played out.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 6: I was talking about this issue with Valdemar Archiletta, who
Speaker 6: is the president of the log Cabin Republicans. He's the
Speaker 6: Republican candidate for the first congressional district against Dianad Again,
Speaker 6: you got not Pale Climb coming. But he's talking to
Speaker 6: a lot of gen Z voters and I think those
Speaker 6: are like your daughters and like Kelly's daughter, Dan's daughter
Speaker 6: would be one of those as well, Caroline.
Speaker 4: That they've gone through a lot.
Speaker 6: You know, They've had their school canceled, their grad suations canceled.
Speaker 6: In some cases, there was a high school senior then
Speaker 6: as a college senior at USC had that graduation canceled
Speaker 6: because of the Prohomaas protests. And I think gen Zers
Speaker 6: are looking at things in a much different light than
Speaker 6: we even give them credit for, and that there might
Speaker 6: be a lot more Republicans in waiting than we've anticipated
Speaker 6: with them.
Speaker 3: Well, and one thing I want to talk about real
Speaker 3: quick that's very important, that's not getting enough and enough
Speaker 3: coverage is ranked choice voting and how it plays into
Speaker 3: what we were just talking about is a lot of
Speaker 3: young people are unaffiliated, and more and more voters in
Speaker 3: Colorado are unaffiliated. That's the majority of voters in Colorado,
Speaker 3: so they're not necessarily aligned to a party. So Kent Theory,
Speaker 3: who used to be the head of Davida, has kind
Speaker 3: of partnered with some of the big consulting firms, Republican
Speaker 3: consultants in Colorado to put forward a ballot initiative about
Speaker 3: ranked choice voting. And you're like, what the heck is that. Well,
Speaker 3: it's going to transform the way our elections work in
Speaker 3: Colorado if it's passed.
Speaker 2: Now, what happens is this is.
Speaker 3: Done in a last careen California, in Maine. So what
Speaker 3: happens is it's super It's pretty easy to get on
Speaker 3: the ballot and say you want to run for governor,
Speaker 3: You get a petition signed. It's not as onerous as
Speaker 3: it would be as it is now to petition onto
Speaker 3: the ballot, and everybody goes on to the primary ballot,
Speaker 3: no matter what party you're part of, whether it's Democrat, Republican, libertarian, whatever.
Speaker 3: And I mean there's going to be massive amounts of
Speaker 3: people on the primary ballot.
Speaker 2: There's no caucus. There's no primary as we know it now.
Speaker 3: Everybody will get one ballot and you rank the top
Speaker 3: four choices for you and what happens is four people
Speaker 3: from the same party can actually come out of it,
Speaker 3: or it might be two and two, it might be
Speaker 3: three and one. But it's basically a brand name recognition contest.
Speaker 3: So the richest people who can get their name out
Speaker 3: there and get the most people to vote out of
Speaker 3: twenty different candidates are the ones who are going to win.
Speaker 2: And so in some ways, yeah, can it.
Speaker 3: Bring a bit more conversation about whise party so important
Speaker 3: or should it be so important? But what's gonna happen
Speaker 3: is the Democrats have so much money in Colorado.
Speaker 2: They're gonna own this thing.
Speaker 3: And if you don't think they know how to game
Speaker 3: this and when in a big way using rain choice voting,
Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta you got some land in Florida.
Speaker 3: I can sell you. I always miss those thayings up.
Speaker 3: It's Eidi gonna all filling in for Dan. Caplis Dan.
Speaker 3: We'll be back tomorrow. But I am so excited to
Speaker 3: be here with you, Ryan and talk about all things
Speaker 3: going on in the.
Speaker 2: Political world today. So we'll be back after the break.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 3: Good afternoon. It's Heidi gan All filling in for Dan Caplis,
Speaker 3: who will be back tomorrow. It's been a pleasure hanging
Speaker 3: out with you Ryan today. I love the banter back
Speaker 3: and forth. You know, we've got so much drama of
Speaker 3: our own going on here in the Colorado Republican Party
Speaker 3: and I try and honestly just stay out of it
Speaker 3: for the most part and keep my keep, I know
Speaker 3: is clean and work on what I can control, which
Speaker 3: is helping grassroots groups around the state and building Rocky
Speaker 3: Mountain Voice and giving us a platform to get our
Speaker 3: message out against.
Speaker 2: The liberal media.
Speaker 3: But Britta Horn is a brave, brave person to take
Speaker 3: on a potential position that is go Britta, It's going
Speaker 3: to be tough. She is throwing her hat in the
Speaker 3: ring for colord a GOP chair if Dave Williams is
Speaker 3: voted out at a meeting on August thirty first, and Britta,
Speaker 3: welcome to the show. Excited to hear the latest update
Speaker 3: on this party drama.
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, thanks for having me.
Speaker 10: I really appreciate it. Well, I don't of it's at
Speaker 10: thirty first, it is also that event, but we also
Speaker 10: had this Saturday to twenty fourth and Briton, AH.
Speaker 3: So there is going to be a meeting this Saturday,
Speaker 3: the twenty fourth.
Speaker 10: I've still heard that, So if heard, I haven't heard
Speaker 10: any change about the information the other day and we're
Speaker 10: still a golt of that. I haven't heard that that
Speaker 10: is been backfired by any reason.
Speaker 2: Great to know, Great to know. So there's dual meetings.
Speaker 3: There's the meeting put forward by Todd Watkins, who's the
Speaker 3: vice chair in El Paso County GOP, and Nancy Palazzi,
Speaker 3: who's the chair of Jefferson County GOP. And then there's
Speaker 3: Dave Williams and Hope Sheppelman's meeting on the thirty first.
Speaker 2: Are they going to write.
Speaker 3: Like, if, okay, tell us how this plays out on Saturday,
Speaker 3: what's it going to look like?
Speaker 10: What's from my understanding and from the information I'm getting,
Speaker 10: I mean up to date, because I was in Denver
Speaker 10: even today and just got back home into the ranch
Speaker 10: that it's going to go on. It's gonna be at noon.
Speaker 10: If they were at the same church in Brighton and
Speaker 10: they're going to conduct they're already looking for a Teler
Speaker 10: committee and getting the credentially in and as long as
Speaker 10: we have enough of those people coming in and their
Speaker 10: proxies and have enough of the numbers that they're looking for,
Speaker 10: they're going to go ahead and have the meeting. Because
Speaker 10: they members are allowed to have a recall meeting. They're
Speaker 10: allowed to gather and do this for the bylaws, all
Speaker 10: the bylaws and get this done.
Speaker 3: So, Britta, if this meeting happens, I believe the late
Speaker 3: last time I looked at the members, you needed two
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty nine people or two hundred and fifty
Speaker 3: four I can't remember which to vote affirmatively to take
Speaker 3: out Dave Williams as the chair of the Colorado GOP.
Speaker 2: Is that correct my.
Speaker 10: Understanding as well? Yeh, we're listening to the.
Speaker 3: Same numbers, yep, okay, So, and that's the Central Committee members.
Speaker 2: What is the Central Committee?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: How did these folks get there and why did they
Speaker 3: get to decide?
Speaker 10: Well, because they're part of the sixty four counties, so
Speaker 10: it comes out from every county chair of the county
Speaker 10: vice chair and then the secretary. And then if you
Speaker 10: have a bigger county, you have than all your bonus members,
Speaker 10: and then you have everybody who's like the chair of
Speaker 10: all the CDs or the sd s or the hds whatever,
Speaker 10: you know, they also have a vote to it too. Okay,
Speaker 10: all are considered a member. So that's how that number
Speaker 10: comes up. And this is based on not physically everyone
Speaker 10: showing up, but people showing up with their proxies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everybody tell people what a proxy is, just for
Speaker 3: those that aren't involved in politics.
Speaker 10: Sure, I get that, so on inside politics. So proxy
Speaker 10: is something that's been validated and has been notarized that
Speaker 10: you know, I can't make it, but I'm giving this
Speaker 10: person that's approved to be able to take carry their
Speaker 10: their their vote, you know, carry their proxy, carry their
Speaker 10: vote and take it to the meeting and be credentialed in.
Speaker 10: So you would send it to your county chair or
Speaker 10: you could do it to your CD chair, you know,
Speaker 10: somebody above you that can go and carry it for you.
Speaker 10: But you can't have like one county like legal county.
Speaker 10: Can't you know, carry from the county. You have to
Speaker 10: do it within your own where you live, your own community.
Speaker 3: Okay, what's your sense of how this is going to
Speaker 3: go on Saturday? Do you think there are the votes
Speaker 3: to remove Dave Williams's chair.
Speaker 10: I believe there are, you know, I said, when I'm
Speaker 10: listening to everybody and talking to all the different people
Speaker 10: and you're making all the phone calls and who's carrying
Speaker 10: who you know proxies as we say, I believe that
Speaker 10: we have the number. I mean, it's a busy weekend
Speaker 10: and we all know that, but we're planning for that
Speaker 10: as well. So the just said, you know it would
Speaker 10: go there and see the bodies. But then even when
Speaker 10: they tried, they went through the cadensuring process, what thirty
Speaker 10: days ago, a month ago when we had the meeting
Speaker 10: the first time, and Wright and he would see everybody
Speaker 10: with their name tags on, and then you'd see a
Speaker 10: whole bunch of more name tags on their body because
Speaker 10: they were carrying those people's proxies as they got credentialed in.
Speaker 3: Okay, so there was a meeting, there was a bunch
Speaker 3: of legal wrangling. Is there going to be more legal
Speaker 3: wrangling between the meeting this Saturday and the meeting that
Speaker 3: Dave's team is holding on the thirty.
Speaker 10: First, you know, we haven't heard, but you know we were.
Speaker 10: I was on the phone. It was good to hear
Speaker 10: from Mandy on your show. You're a little earlier that
Speaker 10: it was that Friday, and I was on her show
Speaker 10: and it was like the last few minutes of a show.
Speaker 10: As all of a sudden we heard that that what
Speaker 10: was it.
Speaker 4: A the t R O.
Speaker 10: The you know that that the law there that that
Speaker 10: cat sorry the chair Dave Williams put out, you know,
Speaker 10: the restraining order that he was likestrain straining down the
Speaker 10: opportunity to have that temporarily, was straining on it to
Speaker 10: be able to stop the meeting.
Speaker 2: Got it.
Speaker 10: And so when that happened, then they made to find
Speaker 10: out whether it was legal, whether they had you know,
Speaker 10: the right authority, could we do it, could not do it?
Speaker 10: And then the very next week later they know they
Speaker 10: had to go to court, and then the end of
Speaker 10: the week of that next week and that next Friday,
Speaker 10: the judget dismissed it, saying you didn't have any authority
Speaker 10: with it to.
Speaker 2: Do that, all right? Got it?
Speaker 3: So there still could be some legal surprises and no
Speaker 3: matter what happens Saturday, there could be some back and forth,
Speaker 3: and it'll be interesting to see what happens with the
Speaker 3: second meeting. But Fort, let's talk about vision and what
Speaker 3: your ideas are for the future of the Colorado gup,
Speaker 3: how do you turn things around for the party and
Speaker 3: the conservative movement in Colorado?
Speaker 2: If you're the leader?
Speaker 10: I appreciate that, and I really think it's because we're
Speaker 10: lacking leadership. We're lacking direction, you know, after all the
Speaker 10: debacle at the primary level and we have all these factions.
Speaker 10: So you guys were talking about earlier going on in
Speaker 10: CD three. Ralph County is in CD three anymore. We're
Speaker 10: in CD two because it got redistricted with some route
Speaker 10: and Grand and Jackson is now over with Boulder.
Speaker 2: If you believe that, Oh good lord, I feel bad
Speaker 2: for you.
Speaker 10: I know, so that happens that I know what's going
Speaker 10: on in C between and you're right, and there's people
Speaker 10: that are just I don't want to say, they're just sticking.
Speaker 10: We're here again, and just solid grapes about all those
Speaker 10: bombastic things that are saying after Ron Hank's lost the
Speaker 10: primary and instead of looking you know, introspectively, you and
Speaker 10: I have won races. We've won races we've lost races.
Speaker 10: We don't go out there and just go, you know,
Speaker 10: and show daggers at everybody about it. You know, the
Speaker 10: work wasn't done, it didn't happen, but instead just that
Speaker 10: solid grapes and everybody just keeps on mulling over all that.
Speaker 10: And then we're not getting any leadership from the party
Speaker 10: right now. There's there's salad grapes about all that, and
Speaker 10: there's you know, wants to recall and everyone's saying, oh,
Speaker 10: it's too late. But twenty five days we can still
Speaker 10: turn this around. I know it sounds, you know, unfathomable,
Speaker 10: but if I have a plan, and so with my
Speaker 10: background in public safety and MS and fire, you know,
Speaker 10: there's a plan that we put out.
Speaker 8: There's something to use.
Speaker 10: It's called an intimate Action plan. And it's like when
Speaker 10: there's an incident like a wildfire or a flood or hurricane.
Speaker 10: You know, you go and you put together this package
Speaker 10: and it's, like you said, an Internet action plan. And
Speaker 10: I'm unveiling it here on this show that I'm following
Speaker 10: ours mission right at the end of the tunnel, the
Speaker 10: end of the.
Speaker 2: Tunnel, the end of the that's good. That's good.
Speaker 10: So it's going to have incident objectives and they have
Speaker 10: our objectives that we need to take care of. It's
Speaker 10: already listed, and we have an organizational chart who's going
Speaker 10: to be involved. And at the top you have command
Speaker 10: or you have unified command, and there's gonna be many
Speaker 10: people in that command. You know, process that war room
Speaker 10: that we talk about, and then you bring it out
Speaker 10: and go and do divisions, and you do sections and
Speaker 10: you do a group. So I don't want to get
Speaker 10: everybody into like teaching everybody about you know, this national
Speaker 10: Incident Management system that FEMA does. But these this package
Speaker 10: is able to just put out all the assignments what
Speaker 10: needs to be said. You know, you even have this
Speaker 10: what they call a Joint Information Center a JIT, and
Speaker 10: you make sure that everybody is involved in the meat
Speaker 10: a piece and the social media piece, and everybody's just
Speaker 10: in putting all getting all that information that we're getting
Speaker 10: it back to the system and back to the group
Speaker 10: into that making sure we're making we're putting out those
Speaker 10: fires what I call I guess thought fires, because there's
Speaker 10: a lot of pieces that still need to be done,
Speaker 10: you know, because you're talking about ballots. Ballots alone, we're
Speaker 10: going to probably have eleven, if not thirteen issues on.
Speaker 8: The ballot in November, including all.
Speaker 10: The candidates, and I know there's going to be an
Speaker 10: overcoming that we have to really get to so that
Speaker 10: everyone's going to see this ballot. It's going to be sick,
Speaker 10: and it's going to have all these questions, and if
Speaker 10: they're not really versed on it, they're not going to vote.
Speaker 10: It's just be sit on the kitchen table and it's
Speaker 10: not going to get turned in. So we have to
Speaker 10: have a whole group of people that are you know,
Speaker 10: part of issues.
Speaker 8: Across the state that have their you know, have their
Speaker 8: issues that they want to make sure that get it
Speaker 8: passed or not passed, that we get that all together
Speaker 8: and start doing even election guides and making sure those
Speaker 8: things are getting out to everybody so everybody has the
Speaker 8: information pro and con.
Speaker 3: Pretty we've got to head off to a break, but
Speaker 3: I appreciate you coming on and giving us some information
Speaker 3: about Operation Light at.
Speaker 2: The end of the tunnel.
Speaker 3: Boy, do we need some hope and inspiration in the
Speaker 3: Republican movement in Colorado.
Speaker 2: So thanks, Britta.
Speaker 3: We look forward to hearing how this plays out, and
Speaker 3: good luck with your chair race, and we'll see you soon.
Speaker 3: And to the listeners, the society gan all filling in
Speaker 3: for Dan Kaplis, We'll be back after the break, and.
Speaker 4: Now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 7: And all these speeches, as good as they were, is
Speaker 7: that she's in the White House right now. Democrats have
Speaker 7: controlled the White House for twelve of the last sixteen years.
Speaker 7: And for all of the talk about division and the
Speaker 7: problems in the country and people are hurting, Democrats have
Speaker 7: mostly controlled this country. Trump had it for four the
Speaker 7: Obamas and Biden had it for the rest of the time,
Speaker 7: and somehow it's still all Trump's fault, and somehow she
Speaker 7: hasn't been at the center of it. So to me,
Speaker 7: that's still the glaring hole in this campaign that hasn't
Speaker 7: yet been solved at the convention. How do you explain
Speaker 7: all of the problems that will be solved by the
Speaker 7: person who is currently in there for the last three
Speaker 7: and a half years, who is supposed to already be
Speaker 7: working on solving it.
Speaker 3: You know, Ryan, I saw some tweets about how the
Speaker 3: Democrat leaders have said, oh, we'll.
Speaker 2: Tell you what the policy is going to be after
Speaker 2: she gets elected, Like Nancy what's in the bill? What's
Speaker 2: in the bill? That was a good Nancy?
Speaker 4: What's the best I can do?
Speaker 1: Ryan?
Speaker 3: I just also saw on Twitter that Colorado Governor Jared
Speaker 3: Polish just spoke and he says, as a redditor, gamer, entrepreneur,
Speaker 3: and swifty, I'm excited by Kamala's vision for protecting and
Speaker 3: expanding our personal freedom.
Speaker 4: Well, I've got that sound if you want to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, here, please, here we go.
Speaker 4: Governor Jared poulish, ladies and gentlemen, to.
Speaker 9: Control our reproductive and personal choices.
Speaker 4: Look.
Speaker 9: As a redditor, gamer, entrepreneur, and swifty from the free
Speaker 9: state of Colorado, I'm excited by Kamala Harris's vision for
Speaker 9: protecting and expanding our personal freedom, internet freedom, and economic freedom.
Speaker 4: Wear damn mask while you're doing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know one of my selfish bastards.
Speaker 3: One of my favorite moments in debating Jared Poulis was
Speaker 3: when he went on this rant about women having a
Speaker 3: choice and how I was a woman, but I was
Speaker 3: going to take away women's choices, and you know, I
Speaker 3: was kind of ready for it, and I was just like,
Speaker 3: what about all the women that got the vaccination, that
Speaker 3: work in healthcare, that you fired that you literally fired. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that work in the government. How's that working for them?
Speaker 3: That healthcare choice that you talk about. So when he
Speaker 3: talks about personal freedom again, we got to go back
Speaker 3: to what he's done in Colorado, which Kamala Harris is
Speaker 3: going to do it on a much larger scale to America,
Speaker 3: but making us a sanctuary state and taking away the
Speaker 3: freedoms of so many victims of illegal immigrant crime, and
Speaker 3: destroying the oil and gas industry and taking away the
Speaker 3: people who work in that industry's freedom to have a
Speaker 3: good paying job and.
Speaker 2: For us to have low energy prices.
Speaker 3: And what about the freedom of ranchers whose livestock are
Speaker 3: getting attacked by wolves that he thought was so cute
Speaker 3: to introduce into Colorado. The list goes on and on
Speaker 3: and on, and these democrats have to be called to account.
Speaker 3: And I know that a lot of voters don't pay attention,
Speaker 3: but it starts in our own neighborhoods. And with seventy
Speaker 3: five days to go, this is about conversations with your neighbors.
Speaker 3: This is about conversations in the line at the grocery store.
Speaker 3: This is about conversations. Be bold, be brave, talk to
Speaker 3: everybody you can and just ask them, how has your
Speaker 3: life gotten better? With Kamala Harris as vice president and.
Speaker 6: With Jared Paulas, I find it rich, very rich, and
Speaker 6: talks about the rights of women, and I've watched him
Speaker 6: interact with women, one of them you in a debate
Speaker 6: setting where he got really weird. I remember about a
Speaker 6: truck that he goes ling truck or something. Remember that,
Speaker 6: Ye go back and forth to you and like, you
Speaker 6: don't know you're a woman, you don't know anything about truck.
Speaker 6: He also want like Ron Burgundy mode, and he doesn't
Speaker 6: respect women. Here's the prime example. This is a classic.
Speaker 6: This is from Dan's Greatest Hits album. But it's from
Speaker 6: the floor of the house.
Speaker 2: And you're saying, we're addressing them, and that's what you're
Speaker 2: upset about.
Speaker 4: Madam speaker, I want you amount of.
Speaker 2: Speaker to address the reason that they are here.
Speaker 9: They are here because our government is trying apart with
Speaker 9: their families.
Speaker 3: Madam speaker, Well, gentlemen from Colorado, understand all men, Will.
Speaker 9: The speaker understand that the speaker is obstructing HR fifteen
Speaker 9: from coming to the floor, will speak?
Speaker 4: Will a speaker understand that.
Speaker 9: Will the speaker understand.
Speaker 2: That gentlemen may proceed.
Speaker 4: Will the speaker.
Speaker 9: Understand the speaker is preventing h R. Fifteen from coming
Speaker 9: to the floor, And that is why there are men
Speaker 9: and women in the gallery that potentially face deportation and
Speaker 9: their families are being torn apart.
Speaker 4: It's very simple.
Speaker 2: It's very simple, very simple, Madam Speaker.
Speaker 4: It's very simple.
Speaker 6: And my favorite part is where he gets so condescending
Speaker 6: and static. There are people in the gallery and he
Speaker 6: sounds like he's spitting half the time.
Speaker 4: Aga angry.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've seen a different side of him. He
Speaker 3: is he is a dark Where does he call himself?
Speaker 6: Dark?
Speaker 10: Jarret?
Speaker 1: Dark?
Speaker 4: Is dark? Jarrett dark?
Speaker 1: Jared?
Speaker 4: Is that the one that talks to women? Because he does?
Speaker 4: He talked.
Speaker 6: I'm sorry he talks to women this way. He just
Speaker 6: did there. I watched him in the debate with you, Heidi.
Speaker 6: So when he goes on this, women's are all right
Speaker 6: and so like, come on, dude.
Speaker 3: You know I there were so many moments behind the
Speaker 3: scenes where we'd be waiting to go on stage, uh,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: To do the debate. I remember the first one down
Speaker 2: in Pueblo.
Speaker 3: We were in back kind of backstage waiting and he said,
Speaker 3: so your daughters with you. My twenty eight year old
Speaker 3: was with me, Tory, and I said yeah, and he said, well,
Speaker 3: what's she doing. I said, well, she just moved home.
Speaker 3: She's dealing with lime disease. And he said, well, where
Speaker 3: did she get that? And I said, Colorado, when pagoes
Speaker 3: to spring, she got bit by something. He said, that's
Speaker 3: absolutely false. You do not get lime disease in Colorado.
Speaker 3: We got in a huge fight for time woman before
Speaker 3: we went up there, I know, and I was just like.
Speaker 4: Oh, you have rain a third the size of ours.
Speaker 4: It's science.
Speaker 3: Oh, Ryan, thank you so much for letting me hang
Speaker 3: out with you today. And Dan, thank you. Dan's going
Speaker 3: to be back tomorrow. This is Heidi Ganal sitting in
Speaker 3: for Dan. Kaplis, have a wonderful night and day tomorrow
