And that's to 10 00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:28.640 the chagrin of some of you and to the support 11 00:00:28.679 --> 00:00:30.480 of some of you. One of the texts that came 12 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:34.560 in came in and said that myself and Brockler are 13 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:37.799 the favorite fill ins for this particular listener and always 14 00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.039 likes to tune in on either of us are on. 15 00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:42.840 You know, Brockler and I talked about doing a combined 16 00:00:42.880 --> 00:00:45.119 show at some point, but I'm afraid that might get 17 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:46.840 off the rails pretty fast, because. 18 00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:48.520 Which is a great thing. 19 00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:50.719 Yeah, we would have a good time, there's no doubt 20 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.759 about that. He and I definitely throw shots at each other. 21 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:56.880 But let's get to the show what we're really here for. 22 00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.479 I got a governor's candidate on the line, a mister 23 00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:03.320 will Bride. And I don't know much about Will and 24 00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:05.719 maybe you don't either as a listener, but you're about 25 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.680 to get to hear why this gentleman has jumped in 26 00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:11.159 the race. Straight from his mouth, Will, how are you doing? 27 00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:14.280 Hello, Sheriff Reims. Thanks for having me. 28 00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:16.599 On you bet Will, And you know, I'm kind of 29 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:19.920 trying to give as many of the candidates a platform 30 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.200 if they take advantage of using it. And we spoke 31 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.200 just a little bit earlier today and kind of trying 32 00:01:26.200 --> 00:01:28.680 to fill you out. But if you would just tell 33 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.719 the listeners a little bit about who you are, kind 34 00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:33.840 of what your background is and what made you decide 35 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.040 to jump in this Colorado governor's race. 36 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.000 Right, I'm running because there's so many important issues, But 37 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:43.079 the main issue that's affecting us right here in Colorado 38 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:47.120 is our economy. This isn't a left or a right issue. 39 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.719 It's either up or down if you invest in, whether 40 00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:52.680 any type of stock, or you buy some type of 41 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.079 business or a home or whatever it is you wanted 42 00:01:56.159 --> 00:01:59.400 to go up. And unfortunately in Colorado, our economy was 43 00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:02.799 ranked fifth in the country in two thousand and three, 44 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.640 but we've dropped to forty first. Our roads have dropped 45 00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:09.759 to forty third, our education has dropped to forty fifth. 46 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:12.879 Now you probably know this, but unfortunately we've become one 47 00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:16.000 of the most dangerous violence yes states in the country. 48 00:02:16.360 --> 00:02:18.120 I heard we were at fifth, but someone told me 49 00:02:18.159 --> 00:02:20.560 recently that we've gone up to third. So we're going 50 00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:23.400 in the wrong direction. And the party that's been in 51 00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.719 charge for the last twenty years, I can't blame anyone 52 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:28.719 else because they've been in charge has been taking us 53 00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:31.719 on a downward spiral. And we've got to turn this around. 54 00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:33.360 So we want to make it an up. We want 55 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:33.719 to go up. 56 00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:34.360 We want to go up. 57 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.439 We want to go up. And one of the main 58 00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:37.960 things we're going to do is we want to end 59 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.960 state income tax here in Colorado. That is something we 60 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.520 filed a ballot initiative. So I thought, if I'm running 61 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:46.800 as governor for one state white campaign, why not run two. 62 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:50.000 So I filed the Will of the People twenty twenty 63 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.919 six to end state income tax. And so we are 64 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.719 out there talking about a new state income text. And 65 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.639 I've heard from other people say, wow, if you take 66 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.639 away income taxes, well our roads are going to go down. 67 00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:05.680 Well we're at forty third, it's going to hurt our economy. Well, 68 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:09.319 we're forty first. Our education is going to suffer. Well, 69 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.840 when you're at the bottom, you got to fire a coach, 70 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:14.439 throw away the playbook, and go with something new. Now, 71 00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.840 something interesting that I really like about Dan is he's 72 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:21.599 a trial lawyer, and if he doesn't win, he doesn't 73 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.560 get paid. I've been a trial lawyer for over twenty 74 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:25.680 two years, and I know what it's like to make 75 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:28.960 a case, to present it to a jury. So that 76 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.520 we can show those decision makers who are going to 77 00:03:33.520 --> 00:03:36.280 be our jury, We've got to go get unaffiliated in 78 00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.000 the middle. We've got to go get some Democrats and 79 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.319 say they aren't up or down left rights or up 80 00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:43.960 or down issues, come join with us so that we 81 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:48.159 can restore our constitutional freedoms and our economic freedoms here 82 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:48.680 in Colorado. 83 00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:50.360 So, how do you get that message out to the 84 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.280 voters on the republican side or the unaffiliated side as 85 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.120 you hinted to, how do you get that message through this? 86 00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:59.800 Through this i'll say left leaning mainstream media that we 87 00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.599 have here in the state of Colorado. How do you 88 00:04:01.639 --> 00:04:03.360 break through that wall if you. 89 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.360 Will, Well, first you start like we are now. I'm 90 00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:08.960 going all over across the state to whether it's some 91 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.840 breakfasts or Lincoln Day dinners, and I'm getting to meet people. 92 00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.639 But I've been a trial lawyer for over twenty two 93 00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:19.399 years and I've reached out to the Latino community. I 94 00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.839 speak Spanish. Even though my last name is McBride, my 95 00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:25.160 dad was a Mexican migrant worker, so some people may 96 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:28.399 know me as Abogato William And I've been on Spanish television, 97 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:30.839 radio and in the community and we've got to go 98 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.079 reach I speak Spanish, so we've been advertising, spent millions 99 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.240 of dollars over the years on television advertising and radio, 100 00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.639 but also serving the community in the area of personal injury, 101 00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.920 wrong full death, and where justice needs to be fought 102 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.560 for after a brain injury or spinal cord injury. So 103 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.160 kind of like what Dan exactly what Dan's doing. So 104 00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.319 I think that's something that we've got to be able 105 00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.480 to get the message out in English and in Spanish 106 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.040 and getting out there and talking about hey, this isn't 107 00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:02.000 about that's right, this is up or down, and we 108 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.680 want to be able to put more money in color 109 00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:08.800 Run's wallet so they can spend because I mean, face it, 110 00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:11.279 it's going to be about ten thousand dollars per household 111 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.639 if we do away with state income tax. Now, the 112 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.839 legislature will never get it through, but that doesn't matter, 113 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:18.720 because we the people tell the government what to do, 114 00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:21.680 Like Ronald Reagan said, they don't tell us. We have 115 00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:24.800 a ballid initiative. We can repeal state income tax and 116 00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:27.480 that'll save about ten thousand per household. And there are 117 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.279 two point three million households in Colorado. That's twenty three 118 00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:33.600 billion dollars that will be pumped back into our economy 119 00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:36.920 for consumers to spend. That's that's the message I'm trying 120 00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:38.920 to get out there. Let's build our businesses. 121 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:42.040 Okay. And so the thought process there is, you're you're 122 00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:45.199 the cut tax candidate in some ways, I mean that 123 00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:48.600 I'm putting words into your mouth and taxes are in taxes. 124 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:52.399 So what kind of reception have you got with the 125 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:54.279 crowds that you've been out talking to with that, with 126 00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.160 that message, are you being received well? 127 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:59.240 Well, from what I'm hearing, yeah, I mean people are like, well, 128 00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.360 what's the catch? Why would I say no to that? 129 00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:04.240 And in fact, sixty five percent of Coloraden's voted in 130 00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:07.120 twenty twenty two to reduce state income text. And the 131 00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.959 irony here is pol Us back in twenty twenty one. 132 00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:13.399 If you call my Facebook McBride for Governor Facebook or 133 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.319 you'll see he was an advocate to ending state income text. 134 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.319 I think this is a very uniting point that we 135 00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.000 can go out there and get others to join our 136 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.959 conservative message. And look, it comes down to the three ms. 137 00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:27.160 If we want to win, it comes down to three ms. 138 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:28.800 We've got to have our message, which I believe is 139 00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.199 the economy. You got to have the right messenger who's 140 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:33.399 going to go make the case. I believe I've been 141 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.199 doing that for twenty two years. I'm also a licensed 142 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:38.800 day minister, so I know how to communicate with people. 143 00:06:39.240 --> 00:06:42.519 And then finally it comes down to money, money, money. 144 00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.160 It's like real estate, location, location, location. We have been outraised. 145 00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:48.279 We have been out raised and hasn't even been close. 146 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.920 Pol Us in this last we had about thirty two 147 00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:54.360 million compared to maybe one or two million dollars before 148 00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.720 that same thing. And we got to get away from 149 00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:58.319 there's going to be a millionaire that's going to put 150 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:00.680 a few million dollars in and then and raise three 151 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:02.319 hundred thousand dollars and think we're going to have a 152 00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:05.519 chance of standing up to bureaucrat Bennett versus the will 153 00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:07.920 of the people. But if we can all come together 154 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.279 and get behind one candidate early, because they've they've basically 155 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:14.240 rallied around bureaucrat benit right. The will of the people 156 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.759 is coming in twenty twenty six, and I believe that's 157 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.800 Will McBride and I want to hear what people have 158 00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:20.680 to say, but it's going to take money to get 159 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.480 it out there, and you can't get your message out 160 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:25.319 there without the money. So I look forward to people joining. 161 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.920 I'm putting money in. I'm self funding right now, but 162 00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.120 we're I think this is a message we can all take. 163 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:34.680 So it's interesting because oftentimes if a candidate is willing 164 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:36.720 to put their own money into their race, it kind 165 00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:40.319 of tells you their level of commitment. So I applaud 166 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.839 you for that. If the listeners want to find out 167 00:07:43.839 --> 00:07:45.879 more about you, you mentioned Facebook. Where else can they 168 00:07:45.879 --> 00:07:49.000 find you? On x or?

Well, just I guess one final question before 187 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.559 we cut to break. If you've got to pick one 188 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.440 of the Democrats to run against Phil Wiser and Michael Bennett, 189 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.080 which do you think is the easier the easier opponent 190 00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.279 to run against? Personally? I think it's Bennett because he's 191 00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:57.720 so boring. But what's your take on that? 192 00:08:59.000 --> 00:08:59.360 Well? 193 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.720 Right, the Democrats are going to raise the money they have, sure, 194 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:07.279 and I'm not running against any candidate. I'm running against 195 00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:10.519 time and many. There's some really good, respectable Republicans running, 196 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.440 good guys, but if they can't raise the money, they 197 00:09:13.480 --> 00:09:16.519 can't get their message out. And so I am running 198 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:17.960 for the will of the people and I want to 199 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.559 get out there and say whomever it is. In twenty 200 00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.879 thirteen was my last heavyweight boxing with USA Boxing in 201 00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:28.399 Kansas City, and all I do is I just prepare. 202 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:30.960 I go into the ring. I'm ready to fight, and 203 00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.080 I want to be be the happy warrior, come in 204 00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:35.080 there and share what I need to do, be very positive. 205 00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:38.200 So you know, but I will tell you Democrats have 206 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.039 been well funded, but we're going to change that. We 207 00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:43.639 are definitely. I mean Hicky Looper had forty five million 208 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.799 in his last race, and so we've got to get 209 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.679 out there and raise the money. So well, got or two. 210 00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:52.720 Give one last shout out to the listeners here, tell 211 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:55.600 them why you versus the rest of the field. What 212 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:57.919 do you bring that the rest doesn't leave us with that? 213 00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.200 Okay, I bring a mess. We're going to focus on 214 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.240 the economy that's so important. But I have conservatives strong 215 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:07.759 values that I won't deviate from, but we got to 216 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.559 do it in a respectful way. And I'm the messenger. 217 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:13.080 I've been making a case in court for twenty two years, 218 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:14.919 like Dan's been doing, and if we don't win, we 219 00:10:14.919 --> 00:10:17.240 don't get paid. So I know what it's like to 220 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.759 be able to communicate a message in a very positive way. 221 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:22.559 And I will be able to communicate this message in 222 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:25.840 English and in Spanish and be able to go out 223 00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.960 and get those unaffiliated voters and even some Democrats and 224 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.200 find common ground using the message of our good economy. 225 00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:33.559 We want to get it. We want to fight to 226 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:34.879 improve our economy. 227 00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.240 Which is bad right now. 228 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:36.600 We're going to make it good. We're going to make 229 00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:40.240 it great, and then eliminate state incotext. I'm not going 230 00:10:40.240 --> 00:10:41.799 to ask you what I'm going to do as governor. 231 00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.759 What I am going to what I have done, is governor. 232 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:47.200 When I get elected, will have state incompacts ended on 233 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:50.840 January one, twenty twenty six, our twenty twenty seven, that'll 234 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.399 be phased out. But then finally it's about the money. 235 00:10:53.440 --> 00:10:54.720 I believe I can go out there, I can raise 236 00:10:54.759 --> 00:10:56.360 the money because people aren't going to give money to 237 00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:58.600 a candidate they don't believe in and that it doesn't 238 00:10:58.600 --> 00:11:01.120 believe they have a chance to win. So I'm Will McBride. 239 00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:04.000 I look forward to fighting for you, just like I've 240 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.960 done in the courtroom. And this is going to be 241 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:09.600 bureaucrat Bennett well funded against the will of the people. 242 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.480 And like Rob and Reagan once said, we the people 243 00:11:12.519 --> 00:11:15.399 tell the government to do it doesn't tell us absolutely no. 244 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:16.799 We need to take the wheel, we need to go 245 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:18.559 back and we need to fight. The will of the 246 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:21.320 people's coming in twenty twenty six. Will McBride for governor 247 00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:22.840 and I'd be honored to earn your vote. 248 00:11:22.919 --> 00:11:24.679 Sounds good, Will, Thanks for coming on the show and 249 00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:27.360 thanks for bringing a little bit of energy to this discussion. 250 00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:29.519 Wish you the best of luck and hopefully we'll have 251 00:11:29.559 --> 00:11:31.919 you back on at some point. Again, that's Will McBride. 252 00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:34.720 You can find him on the Googles and everywhere else 253 00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:36.919 and get to know him, find out a little bit 254 00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:39.000 about his race, and again, thanks Will for being on. 255 00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:40.799 We're going to cut the break when we come back. 256 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.600 We'll get a few updates here and get back to 257 00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.080 our text messages. If you're listening to the Dankplash Show 258 00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:48.399 here at six thirty k how with well Keny Sheriff 259 00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.600 Steve Reims filling in. 260 00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.000 And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 261 00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.320 Dan's off doing trial prep and that music is obviously 262 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.200 in reference to our last guest that Will McBride talking 263 00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.080 a little bit about how the money kind of drives 264 00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:13.039 these candidacies, and in Colorado, but in any state realistically, 265 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:14.360 if you don't have the money, you can't get your 266 00:12:14.360 --> 00:12:17.559 message out. And you know, I think Will has an 267 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:21.279 interesting approach to trying to get the energy behind him 268 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.519 by saying, let's get rid of state income tax. I 269 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:28.159 could support that for sure. I hate paying any kind 270 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:31.200 of income tax. I hate paying taxes period, Like most 271 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:34.440 people think taxation is theft. Just let me keep my money. 272 00:12:34.440 --> 00:12:37.679 But generated a few text messages here we got sheriff 273 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.720 my apologies, but this guy needs to do a little 274 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:44.159 bit more research. Colorado is second in crime in the 275 00:12:44.159 --> 00:12:46.799 crime rate. First in the state or first in the 276 00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:50.480 United States is New Mexico, and that is correct. I'm 277 00:12:50.480 --> 00:12:53.360 sure Colorado's fighting to become national champions. You know, we 278 00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:54.879 got to get to the top of the rung there. 279 00:12:54.919 --> 00:13:00.279 But another one here in reference to the moronic ed 280 00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.440 it in New York that's running to be the mayor. 281 00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:06.519 There are reports that membership is get membership is getting 282 00:13:06.639 --> 00:13:10.799 bigger for the Democratic Socialists because of mam Ranie. Uh. 283 00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:12.759 Just that just blows my mind. 284 00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:13.120 Uh. 285 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.759 And then our good friend Steven Littleton, retired l e O. 286 00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.399 He says this state hasn't experienced enough pain to induce 287 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.480 Colorado voters to admit that dim ideology is a failure. 288 00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.039 You know, he might be right. I hope, I hope 289 00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.519 you're wrong, Steve. I hope that you know that the 290 00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:33.799 middle of the road folks are just kind of setting 291 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.559 as a silent majority right now saying we can't keep 292 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.919 doing this. But uh, I'm always the optimist, and I 293 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.000 want to believe that people see the things that are 294 00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:45.360 going on around them. But who knows. I mean, it's 295 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:47.879 I can tell you as a sheriff, it's very frustrating 296 00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:51.960 to see our state legislature going one way while the 297 00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:56.399 common the common citizen is kind of going, this isn't 298 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.200 what this isn't what we want, this isn't what we 299 00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:02.480 voted for. That played it self out very, very hugely 300 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:05.480 in my office today. Some of you will remember a 301 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:07.679 house build that was passed last year house built twenty 302 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.840 four DASH eleven seventy four, and that was the redoing 303 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:15.480 of the concealed weapon permit process. Where now when your 304 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.960 permit starts to expire, you have to go out and 305 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.200 take this refresher course. If you're newly applying, you have 306 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.960 to take a two day course that takes twelve hours. 307 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:25.799 You have to do a certain amount of shooting. You 308 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:30.080 have to pass with a certain proficiency, a much higher proficiency. 309 00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.360 Your instructor has to be what they call a verified instructor. 310 00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.399 All that stuff goes into place tomorrow, so July one. 311 00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:40.840 So in the days and weeks leading up to this date, 312 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:44.039 we've been inundated at the Weld County Sheriff's office with 313 00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:45.720 people who are trying to come in and beat that 314 00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:50.279 deadline to either apply under the current rules, the more 315 00:14:50.320 --> 00:14:54.279 realistic rules or laws, or they're trying to renew in 316 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.000 that same window. So just to give an idea of 317 00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:02.120 how bad this Democrat policy fails when it comes to 318 00:15:02.440 --> 00:15:06.440 protecting people's Second Amendment rights. In Weald County, on average, 319 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:11.480 we issue about twenty five to forty I say issue 320 00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.960 we either renew or issue concealed weapons permits at about 321 00:15:14.960 --> 00:15:17.399 that level every day at the Weld County Sheriff's Office, 322 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.720 five days a week, somewhere between twenty five and forty 323 00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:24.399 permits a day. All last week they were issuing at 324 00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:28.200 least eighty a day, with Friday being the number of 325 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:30.879 one twenty six. And I just got an update from 326 00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:34.440 my office staff that said today they had to stop 327 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.440 taking applications at around three point thirty because they just 328 00:15:37.480 --> 00:15:41.200 couldn't continue to process the number of people we had waiting. 329 00:15:41.240 --> 00:15:45.039 And we've processed one hundred and eighty permits today through 330 00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:47.679 our tiny little lobby at the Weld County Sheriff's Office, 331 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.919 just to keep people, you know, having access to their 332 00:15:51.960 --> 00:15:55.240 concealed weapon permit without having to jump through these extra 333 00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:57.879 hoops that the state legislatures put into place. And I 334 00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:00.720 just I can't help but point out when we hear 335 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.679 gun crime in Denver or Aurora or even Weld County, 336 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.759 the people that are committing that gun crime are not 337 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:13.120 the people that are carrying their licensed I shouldn't even 338 00:16:13.120 --> 00:16:17.159 say license, they're concealed carry permit on them using their weapon. 339 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.159 They're not the ones out committing crime. It's the little gangster, 340 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:25.000 the underage kid who stolen out of a mom's house 341 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:27.159 or out of a car on the street, or you know, 342 00:16:27.240 --> 00:16:29.159 those are the people that we are dealing with that 343 00:16:29.200 --> 00:16:32.840 are committing gun violence in this state. Or the nutball 344 00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:36.080 that goes into you know, a King Supers in Boulder 345 00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:40.399 with a very intentional plan. It's not the person who's 346 00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:42.759 going down and saying, hey, I want to protect myself. 347 00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:45.519 I want to get my concealed weapon permit. I want 348 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:47.159 to be able to carry my gun on me in 349 00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.480 a legal fashion. But that's who this legislature focused on 350 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:55.080 so much so that today I had every office staff 351 00:16:55.120 --> 00:17:00.000 available trying to help people to not be impacted by 352 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.159 this law until you know, a five year window down 353 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.279 the road when the permit expires and they have to 354 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:08.319 then jump through these hoops that were created by a 355 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:11.599 house built twenty four eleven seventy four. It's bad legislation. 356 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.920 It was bad legislation when it was passed last year, 357 00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.440 and it's playing out exactly like we said it would. 358 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:19.599 The honest people are still going to you know, they're 359 00:17:19.640 --> 00:17:21.519 going to go ahead and jump through the hoops because 360 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:22.880 they want to carry their gun and they want to 361 00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:25.599 protect themselves. And the criminals are going to continue to 362 00:17:25.640 --> 00:17:29.079 be criminals because they don't follow the law, especially when 363 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:32.000 it comes to carrying a concealed weapon. They just tuck 364 00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.480 it in the back of their pants and go about 365 00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:36.200 their business and don't expect to get caught because the 366 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:39.839 crime that they're going to commit is far more extensive 367 00:17:40.200 --> 00:17:45.000 than the crime of carrying an unregistered CCW or an 368 00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.759 unlicensed CCW. It's ridiculous, but it's the policies of this state, 369 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.759 and it's another reason why we need a good governor's 370 00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:56.359 candidate running on the Republican side. When we come back, 371 00:17:56.599 --> 00:17:59.000 we're going to talk to Justin Watada. He's the CEO 372 00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:01.519 of the Greeley Stampede because we happen to have this 373 00:18:01.519 --> 00:18:04.799 little thing going on in Weld County called the Stampede 374 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:07.920 of our big rodeo and concert event. So when we 375 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:09.519 come back from break, we'll have him here. Listening to 376 00:18:09.519 --> 00:18:11.759 the Dan Campless Show with Well Kenny Sheriff Steve Riams. 377 00:18:19.640 --> 00:18:23.359 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast Steve. 378 00:18:23.119 --> 00:18:26.240 Reams and we're going to cut to our guests here 379 00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:28.799 pretty quickly, and I'm glad we use such a traditional 380 00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.079 country song leading into our next guest, as he's the 381 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.160 CEO for the Greeley Stampede. But for those of you 382 00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.079 who have never been up to Weld County or to 383 00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:42.240 Greeley to go to the Greeley Stampede, you're really missing out. 384 00:18:42.279 --> 00:18:45.160 It's not quite a Metallica concert. It's a little more 385 00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.480 laid back, a little more western. But justin, I hope 386 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:50.799 you're on the line with us and you can tell 387 00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:54.440 us all about the goings on at the Greeley Stampede 388 00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:56.279 this year. Thanks sure m. 389 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:57.799 Thanks for having me today. 390 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:00.960 You bet, And so justin for the listeners around the 391 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:03.480 state who have never been to the Greeley Stampede, give 392 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:06.240 them a flavor of what they're missing and tell them 393 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:07.680 why they should be coming up to visit. 394 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.720 First off, shame on them as they haven't been up 395 00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:14.839 really stampede. As this will be our one hundred and 396 00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:18.640 third community celebration. So it's been going on for quite 397 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.240 a long time, and it started in nineteen twenty two 398 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:24.079 as a local community celebration to bring the farmers into 399 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.319 town and so they were giving away coffee and pie 400 00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:29.799 and it's kind of grown over throughout the years, and 401 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.640
