<v Speaker 2>This is not Dan Caples, This is Heidi Ganoll on

7
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.280
<v Speaker 2>with Ryan Schuling. This afternoon. Dan is working hard to

8
00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.199
<v Speaker 2>put bad guys in jail or get money out of

9
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:27.440
<v Speaker 2>bad guys. I mean, Dan just does it all. Anyway,

10
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.719
<v Speaker 2>we are going to have a great time together today.

11
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.479
<v Speaker 2>I've got some really interesting folks joining us, including my

12
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.840
<v Speaker 2>own daughter, Tory Ganall who is She's twenty nine. She's

13
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 2>a millennial and she's also the national committee woman for

14
00:00:43.399 --> 00:00:46.039
<v Speaker 2>the Colord of Young Republicans. So I want to he.

15
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 3>Way, wait, there's no way you have a twenty nine

16
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 3>year old child.

17
00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:54.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh thanks, Ron. I had her when I was like, yeah, nineteen,

18
00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:01.840
<v Speaker 2>Now I have so many kids. Import Tory. When I

19
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:03.799
<v Speaker 2>was when she was like twelve or thirteen, I'd been

20
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.799
<v Speaker 2>a single mom. I met Jason, got set up on

21
00:01:05.799 --> 00:01:08.239
<v Speaker 2>a blind date, and you know, we found madly love

22
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:10.799
<v Speaker 2>and did all the things and got married. And she's like, wait,

23
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 2>what like you and I were having a lot of

24
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:13.680
<v Speaker 2>fun together.

25
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, fella Louise type stuff.

26
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:16.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

27
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.159
<v Speaker 2>Well, she reminds me that during my crazy evenings of

28
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 2>driving kids all over the place, She's like, we could

29
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 2>be traveling the world having a good time. But I

30
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.239
<v Speaker 2>also have a fifteen year old daughter, Holly, who's a

31
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:30.239
<v Speaker 2>freshman at Valor, and then twins Jack and Jenna, who

32
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.799
<v Speaker 2>are thirteen that just had their last day of school

33
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:36.599
<v Speaker 2>at Cardo Christian Academy today. So it's summer, it's summer.

34
00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Who has more kids? You are, Kelly Rippa. I don't know.

35
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how many kids yet a lot.

36
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.200
<v Speaker 3>The joke was like a Saturday Night Live bit.

37
00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:46.480
<v Speaker 5>I think Dana Carvey played Regis Philbin and they kept

38
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.000
<v Speaker 5>showing like little photos of kids that Kelly Rippa had.

39
00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:52.319
<v Speaker 3>I think they went like a ridiculous amount. Oh she's cute. Ah,

40
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 3>he's a good looking cat. He's got through like seventeen

41
00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 3>different kids from all over the world.

42
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 2>Are you guys gonna have kids? Is that is that too?

43
00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 4>Wow?

44
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 3>We're not ruling it out. Okay, we're not trying not to.

45
00:02:05.920 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Oh well then that's like.

46
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.919
<v Speaker 5>Come on right, no, I you know, I feel weird

47
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.800
<v Speaker 5>about I'm fifty, so, you know, a little late in

48
00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:14.159
<v Speaker 5>the game.

49
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Wait, I had my twins at forty five.

50
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm glad you inform me of that.

51
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, because you know, Kelsey's a little concerned she's forty

52
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 5>one going on forty two.

53
00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.360
<v Speaker 2>No, she's fun. I had three kids from the time

54
00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:27.879
<v Speaker 2>I was forty two to forty five.

55
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:29.199
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonta text her that right now.

56
00:02:29.439 --> 00:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was it was nuts. Now that I'm older,

57
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, oh, this is this is why you don't

58
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 2>have kids when you're forty five. It's a little, a

59
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.599
<v Speaker 2>little tiring. But I'm basically just a taxi cab driver.

60
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I just I mean literally, from like three o'clock in

61
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.759
<v Speaker 2>the afternoon, when I'm not here, I'm driving children from

62
00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 2>this place to that place to this activity over here.

63
00:02:48.159 --> 00:02:50.960
<v Speaker 2>And now with summer it's going to just go into overdrive.

64
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>But oh yeah, but you know, Ryan, this is part

65
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 2>of why I fight so hard for Colorado because I

66
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.360
<v Speaker 2>am really really worried about your future kids, my kids,

67
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 2>my future grandkids. And I found some very very troubling

68
00:03:06.319 --> 00:03:11.479
<v Speaker 2>stats about what's happened since our favorite guy, Jared Polis

69
00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:16.520
<v Speaker 2>became governor. Get this. We've gone from the top five

70
00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 2>in economic performance to the bottom five. We've become one

71
00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:24.199
<v Speaker 2>of the five least affordable states for housing. Colorado is

72
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 2>now the sixth most regulated state. Prices are up fifteen

73
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>percent higher than four years ago. We have the second

74
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.479
<v Speaker 2>highest unemployment rate in the US and the second highest

75
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:38.719
<v Speaker 2>rate of teenage fentanyl deaths. Thank you, Jared Polus and

76
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the Democrats.

77
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:41.840
<v Speaker 3>That's just terrible.

78
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:46.240
<v Speaker 2>So Ryan, why on earth do people keep voting for

79
00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:46.879
<v Speaker 2>this stuff.

80
00:03:47.439 --> 00:03:49.680
<v Speaker 5>This is the thing that really I can't wrap my

81
00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.319
<v Speaker 5>head around. I mean, there's so much evidence, and you

82
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 5>don't even have to be as right of center as

83
00:03:54.639 --> 00:03:57.199
<v Speaker 5>you or I are. But when you watch what's happening,

84
00:03:57.520 --> 00:04:00.919
<v Speaker 5>you watch Colorado crumbling, you watch the city of Denver,

85
00:04:01.039 --> 00:04:04.120
<v Speaker 5>and the business is fleeing, they're running a deficit, they're

86
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.759
<v Speaker 5>transing the kids. You know, this is a parental rights

87
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:09.319
<v Speaker 5>issue that should not even be partisan or political. They

88
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:13.759
<v Speaker 5>ram through thirteen twelve police signs that into law, claiming

89
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 5>that they took a couple words out so it's not

90
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:16.480
<v Speaker 5>as bad as it would have been.

91
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 3>No, come on, we know that's not true. They're taking

92
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:19.839
<v Speaker 3>our guns away.

93
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 5>I mean again, these are independent libertarian type issues that

94
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:27.959
<v Speaker 5>people living here in Colorado, no matter what party affiliation

95
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 5>they might have, you would.

96
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 3>Think would take seriously.

97
00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 5>You know what, I might not love everything about the Republicans,

98
00:04:33.480 --> 00:04:35.279
<v Speaker 5>but it's got to I gotta at least give them

99
00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 5>a shot because of what's happening over there on the left.

100
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I think we need at least we

101
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.040
<v Speaker 2>need some balance, right, It just not. I mean, we

102
00:04:43.120 --> 00:04:45.720
<v Speaker 2>did stop them from having a supermajority at the Capitol

103
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.879
<v Speaker 2>of this last session. It didn't stop a lot of

104
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the crazy stuff that happened, but a little bit. But

105
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 2>imagine if we had a Republican governor to veto a

106
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of this stuff or stand firm and not allow

107
00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.720
<v Speaker 2>some of these bills to go through. That would at

108
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>least bring some balance back to the state. So, you know,

109
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the other thing, and we've talked so much about this,

110
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 2>but I have to get this in. We have a terrible, horrible,

111
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:13.439
<v Speaker 2>no good, very bad liberal corporate media here in Colorado,

112
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.360
<v Speaker 2>and God bless you and Dan and Manny and so

113
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.600
<v Speaker 2>many others that fight back and try and tell the

114
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 2>truth about what's happening. We try and do that at

115
00:05:22.480 --> 00:05:24.959

116
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 2>no pay, paywalls or ads. But it is hard. I mean,

117
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.839
<v Speaker 2>it's like a tidal wave of misinformation and negativity about

118
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:37.800
<v Speaker 2>conservative principles, and you know, just accusations that were lying,

119
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:41.199
<v Speaker 2>that were terrible human beings, were Nazis, all the things,

120
00:05:41.360 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>all day long. And I think people are influenced by that,

121
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.680
<v Speaker 2>the average everyday voter that doesn't pay attention to politics.

122
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:48.600
<v Speaker 6>Like we do.

123
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 5>What do you think, Well, well, I love that we

124
00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:54.680
<v Speaker 5>have this hub and you gave me this great hat.

125
00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:57.959
<v Speaker 5>By the way, this is truth the Rocky Mountain Voice

126
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 5>that you are literally a hub of the wheel now

127
00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:03.639
<v Speaker 5>for all things conservative media. And there's one place that

128
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 5>people can go to find my show, to find Dan's show,

129
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.399
<v Speaker 5>to find all these publications and great people like you know,

130
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 5>John Caldera Independence Institute.

131
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.399
<v Speaker 3>You know, so many resources that you can use.

132
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:16.279
<v Speaker 5>And even if you just had let's say, like an

133
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 5>elevator pitch conversation maybe with somebody in your circle, your

134
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 5>orbit that's persuadable.

135
00:06:22.279 --> 00:06:23.759
<v Speaker 3>Let's say a center.

136
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:25.879
<v Speaker 5>Left person who's disaffected with how things are going here

137
00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.839
<v Speaker 5>in Colorado, Well, let me recommend to you, Rocky Mountain Voice.

138
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.040
<v Speaker 3>You go check it out, go do your own research.

139
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm not going to force it on you, but just

140
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:34.199
<v Speaker 3>give it a shot.

141
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:36.879
<v Speaker 5>And I think that a lot of people, once they're

142
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.480
<v Speaker 5>exposed to shows like this one, websites like yours, that

143
00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:42.639
<v Speaker 5>they have an opportunity to kind of find things out

144
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 5>for themselves, they will be, if not red pilled, then

145
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 5>certainly black pilled based on the experience that you have

146
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.959
<v Speaker 5>being lied to by, as you put it, the corporate

147
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.279
<v Speaker 5>liberal media in this state and nationally as well.

148
00:06:55.120 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 2>I agree, Ryan, and I think I think folks are

149
00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.759
<v Speaker 2>starting to find their news in different places, like we

150
00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 2>can ask Tory about that, but TikTok and Twitter and

151
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 2>or x sorry didn't mean to insult to you on sorry,

152
00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:13.439
<v Speaker 2>and you know, just all the different resources there are

153
00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.519
<v Speaker 2>now podcasts to get your news. So hopefully that trend

154
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:21.000
<v Speaker 2>will continue. I saw some interesting emails come out this

155
00:07:21.160 --> 00:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>week from Collab, and I think there's another like news

156
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 2>nonprofit organization that's trying to deal with the destruction of

157
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.800
<v Speaker 2>the media as we know it right now, And I'm like,

158
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:33.600
<v Speaker 2>what's wrong with that?

159
00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:34.600
<v Speaker 4>Burn it down?

160
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.199
<v Speaker 2>I know it's crazy that they're trying to, you know,

161
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 2>they're trying to come up with new and different ideas

162
00:07:41.399 --> 00:07:45.279
<v Speaker 2>to claim their stake back, you know. But I also

163
00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.040
<v Speaker 2>think that two other things. One is, we definitely have

164
00:07:49.480 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the disease of Trump arrangements as syndrome and Colorado TDS

165
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:56.639
<v Speaker 2>is everywhere. And then finally, the Democrats spend so much

166
00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:00.399
<v Speaker 2>stinking more money than we do on policy like ballad

167
00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:03.360
<v Speaker 2>initiatives and getting people across the finish line as far

168
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.759
<v Speaker 2>as elections and misleading voters honestly, just with ads that

169
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:11.680
<v Speaker 2>just say something that's completely not true. So it's the money,

170
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.199
<v Speaker 2>it's the TDS, it's the liberal media, And I honestly

171
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 2>don't think the pain is personal enough yet I like

172
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.160
<v Speaker 2>to call it the frogs and boiling water. And so

173
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.199
<v Speaker 2>we've lived here a long I've lived here since seventy eight.

174
00:08:25.279 --> 00:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>You've lived here a long time. We've seen it. But honestly, people,

175
00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 2>it just gets worse little by little by little, and

176
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>most people don't pay attention to the day to day,

177
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 2>and all of a sudden they're like, oh my gosh,

178
00:08:35.120 --> 00:08:37.360
<v Speaker 2>house on fire, my kids are getting taken away because

179
00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:38.679
<v Speaker 2>I called them the wrong name.

180
00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:38.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

181
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've had this conversation with Dick Wadams, and we

182
00:08:42.279 --> 00:08:44.200
<v Speaker 3>call them the human lightning rout here on this program.

183
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:48.360
<v Speaker 5>But I respect his background is knowledge of all things politics,

184
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 5>and he has made the observation.

185
00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:51.320
<v Speaker 3>I think it's the correct.

186
00:08:51.039 --> 00:08:55.759
<v Speaker 5>One that the TDS it extends, it permeates throughout the

187
00:08:55.799 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 5>state of Colorado, even for some people that might otherwise

188
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.799
<v Speaker 5>be right leaning voters. For whatever reason, He's much more

189
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:04.279
<v Speaker 5>appealing in my home state of Michigan, which Trump won twice.

190
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:04.919
<v Speaker 3>But it's purple.

191
00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:07.519
<v Speaker 5>It's a purple state with the Democrat governor, and you

192
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:12.360
<v Speaker 5>know those tendencies through its populous. But do you think, Heidi,

193
00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:14.799
<v Speaker 5>I'll pose it to you this way, if Trump is

194
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:19.720
<v Speaker 5>the MAGA movement America first, the new Republican Party, if

195
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 5>it has a new figure.

196
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Speaker 3>Had new face, whether that's JD.

197
00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:26.879
<v Speaker 5>Vance, Ronda Santis, Marco Rubio, that there might be kind

198
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.519
<v Speaker 5>of a changing of the tide here in Colorado once

199
00:09:29.559 --> 00:09:31.000
<v Speaker 5>Trump is no longer in the picture.

200
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 2>I've thought about that, yeah, And I honestly think what's

201
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:38.679
<v Speaker 2>going to make the biggest difference is the pain factor,

202
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:42.559
<v Speaker 2>Like they're going to have to just get you know,

203
00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:45.639
<v Speaker 2>like they're going to have to see something so horrible

204
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.200
<v Speaker 2>with their pocketbook, with their housing costs, with the you know,

205
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>the all the kids stuff going on, thirteen twelve, et cetera.

206
00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:57.159
<v Speaker 2>In their church, they're going to have a wake up call.

207
00:09:57.519 --> 00:09:59.720
<v Speaker 2>There's so many options right now, so many bad things

208
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.399
<v Speaker 2>have and then I'm hoping that it gets to the

209
00:10:02.480 --> 00:10:05.279
<v Speaker 2>point where the frogs are boiling and they jump out

210
00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.399
<v Speaker 2>of the water. I hope it's before three and a

211
00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:10.600
<v Speaker 2>half years from now, when we have a new president.

212
00:10:10.759 --> 00:10:12.440
<v Speaker 2>That's terrible to think that we're going to go on

213
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:14.440
<v Speaker 2>like this for three and a half more years. We

214
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:17.759
<v Speaker 2>have a very important mid term in twenty six. We

215
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:21.080
<v Speaker 2>have all the state wide offices up. We could try

216
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:23.759
<v Speaker 2>and flip the legislature in Colorado back, but I think

217
00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:25.759
<v Speaker 2>the most important thing we need to do in twenty

218
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 2>twenty six is protect our four congressional seats that we have,

219
00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:32.720
<v Speaker 2>because that'll help nationally, it will help locally. So Gabe

220
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 2>Evans in Congressional District eight, which is up north Denver,

221
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.720
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Hurd in Congressional District three, which is Pueblo and

222
00:10:39.799 --> 00:10:44.000
<v Speaker 2>the western Slope, Lauren Bobert in Congressional District four, which

223
00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:47.000
<v Speaker 2>is Douglas County, and the eastern slope and then Congressional

224
00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:49.799
<v Speaker 2>District five Jeff Crank, which is down in al Paso County.

225
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.320
<v Speaker 2>And here's some really disturbing numbers, and then we'll go

226
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:55.519
<v Speaker 2>to break. We've lost fourteen points in CD four since

227
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.360
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty. We've lost five points in CD five, two

228
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 2>points in CD three just since twenty twenty. In those

229
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>congressional races. We had a lot of work to do. Ryan,

230
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:05.360
<v Speaker 2>we'll come back after the break. This is Heidi can

231
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.919
<v Speaker 2>All filling in for Dan Kaplis and talk more about.

232
00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:17.399
<v Speaker 3>This and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.

233
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:20.480
<v Speaker 3>You don't think it's an infringement on the First Amendment?

234
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:21.200
<v Speaker 3>Is that what you're saying?

235
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.360
<v Speaker 4>Well, look, obviously you have to if you have an employer.

236
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:26.679
<v Speaker 3>There's things you can say and can't say at work, right.

237
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 4>I mean, this is not like you know, with your

238
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:31.159
<v Speaker 4>friends in your house at all, right, right, I mean,

239
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:32.480
<v Speaker 4>that's not against a lot when you.

240
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Go to work.

241
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.279
<v Speaker 4>You cannot call your African American colleague the N word.

242
00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.200
<v Speaker 4>I mean that that is, you know, that is a

243
00:11:37.679 --> 00:11:40.840
<v Speaker 4>civil rights violation. So of course this is a great

244
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:43.000
<v Speaker 4>diverse state. You may have to work with somebody who's

245
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:44.639
<v Speaker 4>transit or somebody you may have to work with, somebody

246
00:11:44.919 --> 00:11:48.240
<v Speaker 4>who who's African Americans like, you just have to respect

247
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:50.679
<v Speaker 4>whoever you work with. You you know, and you you

248
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:52.600
<v Speaker 4>all try to get along. And that is in the

249
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:55.240
<v Speaker 4>professional side of things, how we all get together as

250
00:11:55.279 --> 00:11:57.320
<v Speaker 4>a state. And I would add this goes always if

251
00:11:57.360 --> 00:11:59.559
<v Speaker 4>you have a doubt Christian who you work with, you

252
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 4>have to respect that he never mocked their Christianity. You

253
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.360
<v Speaker 4>never mocked their faith. At work again, in your own home,

254
00:12:05.840 --> 00:12:07.720
<v Speaker 4>you know, if you're with friends and you can argue

255
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.159
<v Speaker 4>about Christianity or transgender and you can get mean, ambitious,

256
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.919
<v Speaker 4>and there's no viholation of law, totally free speech. But

257
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 4>when you're at work, absolutely there are expectations of what

258
00:12:17.279 --> 00:12:19.799
<v Speaker 4>you do at work and treat everybody civilly. This bill

259
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:21.639
<v Speaker 4>doesn't too much about that, but that was already the.

260
00:12:21.679 --> 00:12:22.399
<v Speaker 3>Law in Colorado.

261
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, Ryan, that's our gas lighting. Governor Jared Poulos, nobody

262
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:30.120
<v Speaker 2>knows that better than you. He is so full of

263
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.919
<v Speaker 2>whoy he's talking about this bill that went through that

264
00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.759
<v Speaker 2>you know, basically says parents if they change, if they

265
00:12:36.840 --> 00:12:39.519
<v Speaker 2>call their kids the wrong name or they dead name them,

266
00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:43.000
<v Speaker 2>then I guess what, guys, you can get your kid

267
00:12:43.080 --> 00:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>taken away. And also if you work in a business

268
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>and you say something like to call somebody the wrong name,

269
00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.600
<v Speaker 2>you can be I don't know if it's fired or

270
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.679
<v Speaker 2>filed the complaints. There's all kinds of consequences to this

271
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.440
<v Speaker 2>attack on free speech, especially on parents. You can't call

272
00:13:00.519 --> 00:13:02.720
<v Speaker 2>your own kid the name that you gave your kid.

273
00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:05.840
<v Speaker 5>Here was my analysis of this interview, and I listened

274
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:08.639
<v Speaker 5>to the whole thing. And credit to Ross Kaminski for

275
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:12.240
<v Speaker 5>pressing Jared Polis on this particular issue thirteen twelve. This

276
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.759
<v Speaker 5>was on Tuesday over on KOA here in Denver. Jared

277
00:13:15.799 --> 00:13:18.440
<v Speaker 5>Pulis identifies two places where you might be in your

278
00:13:18.519 --> 00:13:22.600
<v Speaker 5>life your home in the workplace. What about a place

279
00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.840
<v Speaker 5>of business or anywhere else you might go. What if

280
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:27.879
<v Speaker 5>I'm a customer a masterpiece cake shop run by Jack Phillips.

281
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.799
<v Speaker 5>What if I'm Jack Phillips and a transgender person comes

282
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 5>in and I'm not willing to engage in whatever ideology

283
00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 5>they have?

284
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.639
<v Speaker 3>Now is that a civil rights violation? Is that actionable?

285
00:13:39.720 --> 00:13:42.120
<v Speaker 5>Because that's already been decided by the Supreme Court of

286
00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:45.320
<v Speaker 5>the United States ruling in favor of Jack Phillips and

287
00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 5>Masterpiece Cake Shop for a violation of his First Amendment

288
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:52.000
<v Speaker 5>rights that you cannot force an ideology upon somebody. So

289
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:55.840
<v Speaker 5>Polus leaves out a very big, glaring blind spot here

290
00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.480
<v Speaker 5>of everywhere else in public you might go that's not

291
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:01.759
<v Speaker 5>your home, home and not your workplace.

292
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:04.600
<v Speaker 3>So what's the standard operating procedure here? If I go

293
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.799
<v Speaker 3>to a restaurant and I have a very.

294
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.120
<v Speaker 5>Fundamentent menalist Christian friend of mine sitting with me, and

295
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:14.879
<v Speaker 5>we have a trans waiter waitress, and my friend happens

296
00:14:14.919 --> 00:14:18.480
<v Speaker 5>to dead name or misgender this waiter waitress, than what,

297
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.720
<v Speaker 5>that's the workplace for them, it's not for us.

298
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.080
<v Speaker 3>We're customers. What happens then, Jared, Oh, he.

299
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:29.519
<v Speaker 2>Knows what happens. He just wants to, you know, gloss

300
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:31.360
<v Speaker 2>it over and make it sound like it's the best

301
00:14:31.399 --> 00:14:33.799
<v Speaker 2>thing since slice bread. He also, I believe he signed

302
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:36.679
<v Speaker 2>thirteen oh nine today, didn't he? Which is the other

303
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:41.519
<v Speaker 2>the kind of sister bill that it forces all of

304
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.799
<v Speaker 2>us to pay for elective transgender affirming procedures and includes

305
00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:49.279
<v Speaker 2>a slush fund to circumvent Medicaid that's no longer covering this.

306
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:51.799
<v Speaker 2>And it also so we have to pay for men's

307
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:55.159
<v Speaker 2>breast implants, laser hair removal, and skin tightening, but your

308
00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:58.679
<v Speaker 2>insurance will not cover any of these elect elective procedures

309
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>for you. Let that sink in. And also it takes

310
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:07.360
<v Speaker 2>testosterone off the drug tracking program, so the wrong sex

311
00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.960
<v Speaker 2>hormones that you're paying for will be given to children

312
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.200
<v Speaker 2>in secret. Like this is six stuff and I'm sorry,

313
00:15:15.399 --> 00:15:18.600
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just am getting to the point where

314
00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I recommend people raise their kids here.

315
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:25.120
<v Speaker 2>This is bad, bad, bad bad, and it's gonna get worse.

316
00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:27.480
<v Speaker 2>I think next year, when Polus is like totally on

317
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:31.200
<v Speaker 2>his way out, the legislature is going to go even crazier.

318
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:32.559
<v Speaker 2>As my prediction, what.

319
00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:34.639
<v Speaker 3>Do you think Michael Bennett's gonna do he comes in

320
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:37.039
<v Speaker 3>if he wints governor, Oh.

321
00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:40.080
<v Speaker 2>Michael vin it just like I believe that. I don't

322
00:15:40.159 --> 00:15:41.919
<v Speaker 2>know he's going to talk like this.

323
00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:45.519
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, he gets a little riled up sometimes and he

324
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:47.519
<v Speaker 5>loses all of his enunciation skills.

325
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:49.240
<v Speaker 3>That's what happens.

326
00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 2>He does nothing. He's like the biggest no like heet Well,

327
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:55.000
<v Speaker 2>doesn't do anything.

328
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:58.360
<v Speaker 5>Even Comrade Kyle of nine News compared him to a

329
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.200
<v Speaker 5>cicada who just comes around every thirteen years.

330
00:16:01.279 --> 00:16:02.159
<v Speaker 3>I mean, that was funny.

331
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:04.279
<v Speaker 2>I can't laugh at anything.

332
00:16:04.399 --> 00:16:06.679
<v Speaker 3>Kyle Clark was and it was accurate.

333
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.639
<v Speaker 2>He's a he's a weedy too, just like Michael Bennett.

334
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:12.240
<v Speaker 2>They all are. I've had it with all of them.

335
00:16:12.720 --> 00:16:13.320
<v Speaker 3>Throw them out.

336
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:17.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we've got a long way to go in Colorado.

337
00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:20.440
<v Speaker 2>And you know, I spoke at the Otero Lincoln Dinner

338
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:23.879
<v Speaker 2>last weekend. That's Lahunta. It was so fun. The people

339
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:28.279
<v Speaker 2>were amazing, couple hundred patriots down there. It's a long drive,

340
00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.200
<v Speaker 2>it's like three hours down, three hours back. But I

341
00:16:31.279 --> 00:16:34.480
<v Speaker 2>had a little fun with the audience and I did

342
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.120
<v Speaker 2>the Ragon quote the person who agrees with you eighty

343
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:40.120
<v Speaker 2>percent of the time is an eighty percent friend, not

344
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.840
<v Speaker 2>a twenty percent enemy. So there's so much dysfunction in

345
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.320
<v Speaker 2>our party here, in the whole conservative movement in Colorado,

346
00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:49.799
<v Speaker 2>and everybody's arguing and bickering. And I've got the point

347
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:51.440
<v Speaker 2>where I just kind of ignore the attacks, or I

348
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:53.000
<v Speaker 2>just call them out, or I delete them or block

349
00:16:53.039 --> 00:16:56.240
<v Speaker 2>them or whatever. But we've got to we've got to

350
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.799
<v Speaker 2>get together to win anything in the midterms. And so

351
00:16:58.919 --> 00:17:02.159
<v Speaker 2>I asked people, I want everybody to hoop and holler

352
00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:04.480
<v Speaker 2>or boo and hiss, depending on how you feel about

353
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:06.640
<v Speaker 2>this question. How many of you, and this is a

354
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:10.000
<v Speaker 2>room of very conservative people, believe that Donald J. Trump

355
00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:12.920
<v Speaker 2>is handling his presidency very well? And of course the

356
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.200
<v Speaker 2>crab went wild. Yeah, everybody was happy. I said, who thanks,

357
00:17:17.319 --> 00:17:21.240
<v Speaker 2>Jared Poulos and Democrats are destroying Colorado, and everybody went

358
00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.359
<v Speaker 2>WHOOA yes, of course. How many people believe there are

359
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.319
<v Speaker 2>only two sexes, male and female? How many believe boys

360
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:29.880
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't play in girls' sports? Who wants to protect the

361
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.079
<v Speaker 2>unborn and doesn't like abortion until birth? Who loves our

362
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:36.039
<v Speaker 2>ranchers and farmers and doesn't like what they're doing with wolves?

363
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:40.640
<v Speaker 2>Who hates potholes, bike lanes? And I seventy traffic? And finally,

364
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.240
<v Speaker 2>who loves Elon and doche I mean? And I said

365
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.279
<v Speaker 2>to everybody, there is your eighty percent. Like that is

366
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:52.240
<v Speaker 2>your eighty percent. We are united. Stop treating these eighty

367
00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:55.640
<v Speaker 2>percent or the twenty percent people as enemies and start

368
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.200
<v Speaker 2>treating them as eighty percent friends. And let's turn our attacks,

369
00:17:59.240 --> 00:18:02.200
<v Speaker 2>our criticisms to the Democrats. Because you heard those stats,

370
00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.200
<v Speaker 2>I rattled off in the very beginning. Our state is

371
00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.119
<v Speaker 2>going down the tubes and we're going to talk more

372
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:09.920
<v Speaker 2>about this after the break with my daughter Tori Ganal.

373
00:18:09.960 --> 00:18:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I think she'll be in here pretty soon. And I'm

374
00:18:13.079 --> 00:18:14.400
<v Speaker 2>just blessed and honored to be here.

375
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:17.000
<v Speaker 5>With you today, Ryan, and we are blessed and honored

376
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.640
<v Speaker 5>to have you in studio with your high jinks.

377
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Hi, Hi, will you continue? Yes, very big.

378
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:24.079
<v Speaker 6>Fan of that.

379
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.119
<v Speaker 3>You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast video that.

380
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:40.559
<v Speaker 7>Shows prison guards and Costa Rica catching a drug smuggler

381
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:41.319
<v Speaker 7>and the culprit.

382
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.559
<v Speaker 2>As you can see, it's free and us four legs.

383
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:48.559
<v Speaker 7>Guards caught this cat as it jumped over the prison

384
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.599
<v Speaker 7>fence at night with marijuana and crack taped to its body.

385
00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:57.480
<v Speaker 7>Guards carefully cut those packages from the cat's tiny body,

386
00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:01.680
<v Speaker 7>removing the drugs from the fur person. Officials handed over

387
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:05.359
<v Speaker 7>that cat to an animal health service to be checked out.

388
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.640
<v Speaker 2>That is the craziest story. When I saw that, Ryan,

389
00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 2>I was like, who wait, who does that? There's lots

390
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.759
<v Speaker 2>of weirdos out there, but the cat's just tooling along,

391
00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 2>taped up with all kinds of drugs. Like I probably

392
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.519
<v Speaker 2>had people chasing him down the street to try and

393
00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:21.599
<v Speaker 2>get the drugs.

394
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:23.519
<v Speaker 3>Cokaine Kitty, go Kain Kitty.

395
00:19:23.640 --> 00:19:24.079
<v Speaker 2>That's right.

396
00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:26.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was mentioning how I was.

397
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:31.160
<v Speaker 5>Watching Mayor Kingstown, the paramount series with Jeremy Renner, and

398
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:34.039
<v Speaker 5>they were using drones to fly over the prison yard

399
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:35.960
<v Speaker 5>and drop drugs or whatever.

400
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:39.079
<v Speaker 3>In well, why use a drone when you can simply

401
00:19:39.160 --> 00:19:39.680
<v Speaker 3>use a cat?

402
00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh, my gosh, speaking of and part of why I

403
00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.559
<v Speaker 2>wanted you to play that clip. Obviously, I've been taking

404
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:48.759
<v Speaker 2>it easy, laying low since I had that big surgery

405
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:52.240
<v Speaker 2>a few like six weeks ago now, and I've gotten

406
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.480
<v Speaker 2>caught up in some wild like things I'm seeing on

407
00:19:54.519 --> 00:19:56.960
<v Speaker 2>the internet, and one of them. And if you guys,

408
00:19:57.079 --> 00:19:59.079
<v Speaker 2>if you guys know about this, call in or texting.

409
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:01.519
<v Speaker 2>You can text Dan five seven seven three six or

410
00:20:01.559 --> 00:20:03.480
<v Speaker 2>calling at three oh three seven one three eight two

411
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.160
<v Speaker 2>five five because this is taking off around the country. Ryan,

412
00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:09.400
<v Speaker 2>have you heard about sailing with Phoenix?

413
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:11.279
<v Speaker 3>Sailing with Phoenix?

414
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:11.559
<v Speaker 1>No?

415
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this is the coolest thing.

416
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:13.680
<v Speaker 6>What is it?

417
00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.640
<v Speaker 2>This young guy, I think he's twenty nine thirty years old,

418
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:21.640
<v Speaker 2>got a bad health diagnosis whereas his neck is like

419
00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:24.519
<v Speaker 2>his spine is compressing and he may be paralyzed at

420
00:20:24.559 --> 00:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>some point soon. So he literally cashed out as four

421
00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:31.759
<v Speaker 2>ohe k he took. He quit his job at discount Tyre.

422
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:34.359
<v Speaker 2>He'd been there for a decade, and he bought a

423
00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.039
<v Speaker 2>boat and he has gold to sail around the world,

424
00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:39.440
<v Speaker 2>so he he learned how to sail a little bit,

425
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.759
<v Speaker 2>but not a lot. He got in the boat. I

426
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:44.799
<v Speaker 2>think it was twenty three days ago now, and he's

427
00:20:44.920 --> 00:20:47.920
<v Speaker 2>on his way to Hawaii from Oregon, and every day

428
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:50.920
<v Speaker 2>all of us are checking in, like how's Oliver doing?

429
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.079
<v Speaker 2>Is he alive? Like what's going on? Did he hit

430
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.559
<v Speaker 2>a squall? Like we're learning all these boating terms. But

431
00:20:55.680 --> 00:20:58.119
<v Speaker 2>this is the coolest thing. He's doing it with his cat.

432
00:20:58.359 --> 00:21:00.640
<v Speaker 2>And his cat's name is Phoenix, and Phoenix is this

433
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:03.599
<v Speaker 2>little tabby calico looking thing. It's just sweet as can be,

434
00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:07.039
<v Speaker 2>mews and it's You can follow him on Instagram sailing

435
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:09.680
<v Speaker 2>with Phoenix. You can follow him on Twitter if somebody's

436
00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:14.039
<v Speaker 2>tweeting for him. But he has he has starlink so

437
00:21:14.200 --> 00:21:18.440
<v Speaker 2>he can post videos and he's gonna get to Hawaii tomorrow.

438
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.400
<v Speaker 2>And he's got one point six million followers now on Instagram.

439
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:24.119
<v Speaker 3>This is amazing.

440
00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:28.359
<v Speaker 5>So the cat's just a partner in crime, so to speak,

441
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:32.279
<v Speaker 5>but not in the way that the drug's bo right, right, no, no, no, right, Okay.

442
00:21:33.319 --> 00:21:35.240
<v Speaker 3>I want a cat that can tweet for itself. Though

443
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:37.119
<v Speaker 3>you said that somebody's tweeting for the k Come on,

444
00:21:37.400 --> 00:21:40.079
<v Speaker 3>step up your game. I need a tabby that can tweet.

445
00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Tabby that can tweet. That's like Heidi's hygiens, but a

446
00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:48.319
<v Speaker 2>cat tweet. I'm just you know, I find so much

447
00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:51.240
<v Speaker 2>pleasure in some of these little like wandering I do

448
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.799
<v Speaker 2>on the internet. Sometimes the Internet can be so horrible,

449
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:56.359
<v Speaker 2>and especially in politics, but then you find a story

<v Speaker 2>like that and you're like, go all over, go Phoenix,

451

452
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:03.079
<v Speaker 2>but it's really really fun.

453
00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:05.559
<v Speaker 5>So you were literally looking for cat videos because a

454
00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:06.960

<v Speaker 2>I think Phoenix the Cats like the new Morris You remember.

00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:27.799
<v Speaker 3>Morris Me Mix.

463
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:31.559
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I have to find that a commercial coming back

<v Speaker 5>for the gen z Ors are like, what are those

465
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:34.920

<v Speaker 2>Yes, please find that. We'll be singing it all weekend.

467
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:41.920
<v Speaker 5>I'm going to put that earworm in every one of

468
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:44.279
<v Speaker 5>you listeners out there so you have it going into

469
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:44.960
<v Speaker 5>Memorial Day.

470
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.920
<v Speaker 2>That would be good. You know, dogs and cats, that's

471
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.839
<v Speaker 2>they just make the world such a much better place.

472
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.559
<v Speaker 2>And I brought Kelly a book about a guy. This

473
00:22:55.720 --> 00:22:58.039
<v Speaker 2>is my other internet little following on the animal front,

474
00:22:59.119 --> 00:23:02.400
<v Speaker 2>about Tina the Dog. And there's Niall who's in Thailand.

475
00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:05.400
<v Speaker 2>He had an addiction problem. He quit kind of he

476
00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:07.680
<v Speaker 2>quit cold Turkey I think, and went to Thailand and

477
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:10.000
<v Speaker 2>started rescuing dogs. And now he feeds over one hundred

478
00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:12.599
<v Speaker 2>street dogs every day on his bikes and he has

479
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:15.160
<v Speaker 2>all these volunteers that mix up all the food and

480
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:19.720
<v Speaker 2>he rescues these dogs and gets them out of horrible situations.

481
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:22.079
<v Speaker 2>And he just came out with this wonderful book about

482
00:23:22.119 --> 00:23:25.119
<v Speaker 2>Tina the Dog that's saving the world, and it just

483
00:23:25.559 --> 00:23:27.759
<v Speaker 2>made my heart happy. It's really cool. Check it out

484
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.079
<v Speaker 2>on Amazon and Kelly, I'll have to tell us how

485
00:23:30.119 --> 00:23:32.480
<v Speaker 2>she likes it. But one of the things I'm most

486
00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:36.039
<v Speaker 2>proud about of building Camp Bawow, which it became the

487
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:38.839
<v Speaker 2>largest franchise pet care franchise in the world. I think

488
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:41.400
<v Speaker 2>it still is. It got over two hundred locations now

489
00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:43.880
<v Speaker 2>around the country. I sold it a few years ago

490
00:23:44.079 --> 00:23:46.640
<v Speaker 2>when I had three kids under the age of three

491
00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:48.680
<v Speaker 2>and a teenager when I was older, Like we were

492
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:51.599
<v Speaker 2>talking about, couldn't handle it all. But one of the

493
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:54.240
<v Speaker 2>things I'm most proud about was starting the Bowot Buddies Foundation,

494
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:56.839
<v Speaker 2>and we were able to find homes for over ten

495
00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.000
<v Speaker 2>thousand dogs through all of our franchises around the country

496
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:04.200
<v Speaker 2>over ten years. And I just it makes me very,

497
00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:08.720
<v Speaker 2>very happy to think that there's lots of doggies that

498
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:11.880
<v Speaker 2>have homes, whether it's from Nile and Thailand, or it's

499
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:15.799
<v Speaker 2>Oliver in Phoenix, the cat on the boat. But there's

500
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 2>been a lot of talk about these laws that Jared

501
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Pulis is signing lately around pets. I think today they

502
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:23.599
<v Speaker 2>signed the one that said you're not allowed to sell

503
00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:26.440
<v Speaker 2>animals in front of the safeway. Do you know any

504
00:24:26.519 --> 00:24:28.359
<v Speaker 2>details on that. I don't really know the details now.

505
00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:28.920
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

506
00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't either.

507
00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:31.440
<v Speaker 3>During the break though, I.

508
00:24:31.480 --> 00:24:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Mean, my gut check is anything Jared Pulis signs.

509
00:24:34.039 --> 00:24:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Is bad, but I did.

510
00:24:35.319 --> 00:24:37.920
<v Speaker 2>I did agree with them on a bill this last

511
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.319
<v Speaker 2>election to bring in more like nurse practitioners in the

512
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:43.880
<v Speaker 2>in the veterinary care space. So that's the only thing

513
00:24:43.920 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 2>that Jared Pulis and I have ever worked on together

514
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.960
<v Speaker 2>that we agreed on. But I don't know I got Yeah,

515
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:50.480
<v Speaker 2>we got to check out this bill because I'm not

516
00:24:50.559 --> 00:24:53.440
<v Speaker 2>sure if Jared signed it what I think about it.

517
00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:58.720
<v Speaker 2>But I talked a little bit about the distress that

518
00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:01.119
<v Speaker 2>I saw that I felt when I saw the numbers

519
00:25:01.240 --> 00:25:04.319
<v Speaker 2>in how are congressional races. We've lost so much ground,

520
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.599
<v Speaker 2>especially in Congressional Districts three, four, and five, which are

521
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:10.920
<v Speaker 2>kind of the mainstay of conservative the conservative movement here

522
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 2>in Colorado. So CD three is the western slope in Pueblo,

523
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:16.480
<v Speaker 2>CD four is Douglas County, and the eastern slope in

524
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:20.240
<v Speaker 2>CD five is El Paso County. And if you look

525
00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:23.839
<v Speaker 2>at the elections for the congress folks between twenty twenty

526
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:25.920
<v Speaker 2>and twenty four, and we did do some redistricting, so

527
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.279
<v Speaker 2>it's not quite apples to apples, but it's important. We've

528
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:32.160
<v Speaker 2>lost two points in CD three. That's the Western Slope

529
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:37.000
<v Speaker 2>in Pueblo, we've lost fourteen points. In CD four that's

530
00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:40.559
<v Speaker 2>Douglas County, and then CD five we've lost five points.

531
00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:43.440
<v Speaker 2>So I think one of the most important things we

532
00:25:43.480 --> 00:25:46.240
<v Speaker 2>can do in twenty twenty six is pay attention to

533
00:25:46.279 --> 00:25:49.079
<v Speaker 2>these congressional races and get boots on the ground. Help

534
00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:53.039
<v Speaker 2>Gabe Evans, Lauren Bobert, Jeff Crank, Jeff Heard, all four

535
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:55.559
<v Speaker 2>of them keep their seats and start to claw back

536
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:58.960
<v Speaker 2>some of these numbers and stop this digression towards blue

537
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:02.519
<v Speaker 2>congressional seats not too far off. If we're only two

538
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:06.319
<v Speaker 2>points away in CD three, that's scary. I know, you know,

539
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:09.400
<v Speaker 2>we almost lost that one before in the election before

540
00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Jeff Heard. But they're coming after these seats and they

541
00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:16.240
<v Speaker 2>want everything. They're not happy with just what they have now,

542
00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:18.920
<v Speaker 2>which is almost everything. They want these congressional seats.

543
00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:23.240
<v Speaker 5>And we've seen also a couple of candidates come out

544
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:26.640
<v Speaker 5>in the eighth Democrats that are going looking to run

545
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:27.440
<v Speaker 5>against Gabe Evans.

546
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:29.960
<v Speaker 3>What I'm fascinated by, what I asked him about earlier this.

547
00:26:30.079 --> 00:26:35.240
<v Speaker 5>Week, was if he notices that you, Derek Caraveo, for instance,

548
00:26:35.400 --> 00:26:37.519
<v Speaker 5>she's getting back in the race and as much as

549
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:41.200
<v Speaker 5>she tried to distance herself from the Biden administration, especially

550
00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:44.519
<v Speaker 5>on the border late in that campaign, she's coming into

551
00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:47.000
<v Speaker 5>this race, I think, full throttle, trying to race to

552
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 5>the middle, appear as a moderate, dissociate herself almost entirely

553
00:26:52.640 --> 00:26:54.680
<v Speaker 5>from the Democratic Party. I don't know how that's going

554
00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:57.119
<v Speaker 5>to fly in a primary, but we know that that's

555
00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:59.680
<v Speaker 5>a district among any in the United States that says

556
00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:03.400
<v Speaker 5>no narrowly defined, you know, between Republican and Democrat as

557
00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:04.000
<v Speaker 5>it gets.

558
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:05.880
<v Speaker 3>And then another Democrat.

559
00:27:05.559 --> 00:27:08.759
<v Speaker 5>Jumps in, probably trying to outflank you, Derek Caravea to

560
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.279
<v Speaker 5>the left. Is that going to That might work in

561
00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.079
<v Speaker 5>the primary, but then in the general against Gabe Evans,

562
00:27:14.319 --> 00:27:17.359
<v Speaker 5>who I think is doing a terrific job tolling the

563
00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.359
<v Speaker 5>line for our values here in Colorado and in the

564
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.920
<v Speaker 5>eighth Congressional district. They're trying to find their sea legs

565
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.000
<v Speaker 5>in the eighth Congressional I think this is very telling

566
00:27:26.039 --> 00:27:28.039
<v Speaker 5>about where the Democratic Party is right now.

567
00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:32.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so Yadara one by zero point seventy five percent

568
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:35.319
<v Speaker 2>when she first went and then gave one by point

569
00:27:35.440 --> 00:27:38.519
<v Speaker 2>seventy five percent. So I flipped one point five percent

570
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:42.640
<v Speaker 2>but I mean, the scary thing is the Democrats are

571
00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:46.519
<v Speaker 2>so organized, so well funded, and you know we're not.

572
00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:49.680
<v Speaker 2>And that's why I talked earlier about how we've got

573
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:53.160
<v Speaker 2>to make our you know, twenty percent enemies are eighty

574
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:55.519
<v Speaker 2>percent friends, and we've got to figure out how to

575
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:58.759
<v Speaker 2>work together. And it really comes down to on the

576
00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:03.960
<v Speaker 2>ground action, actually engaging in your own neighborhoods and not

577
00:28:04.160 --> 00:28:07.240
<v Speaker 2>just sitting online and complaining about things. So pick a

578
00:28:07.359 --> 00:28:11.799
<v Speaker 2>policy area that you're passionate about and oofs, Ryan, can

579
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:16.680

00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.240
<v Speaker 5>You mentioned earlier you like cats and dog living together

601
00:29:20.680 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 5>mass hysteria.

602
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:24.319
<v Speaker 3>But if you got to pick one pet cat.

603
00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:26.839
<v Speaker 2>Or pet dog, and why oh, I'm the dog girl.

604
00:29:27.119 --> 00:29:32.799
<v Speaker 2>I know I love my kidties too, Okay, but yeah,

605
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I've been a dog girl my whole life. And I

606
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:38.839
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like the crazy dog lady when I started Camp

607
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:41.240
<v Speaker 2>bow Wow. I more just saw a problem that I

608
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:42.839
<v Speaker 2>didn't have any place to put my dogs.

609
00:29:42.960 --> 00:29:45.319
<v Speaker 5>Even the way you said it, though, crazy dog Lady

610
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:49.839
<v Speaker 5>sounds a lot less bad than crazy cat Lady, doesn't it, Kelly.

611
00:29:49.880 --> 00:29:51.440
<v Speaker 3>If you had to pick one or the other dog

612
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:53.519
<v Speaker 3>or cat, why oh, I.

613
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:54.279
<v Speaker 6>Love them both.

614
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:55.920
<v Speaker 2>You can't do that.

615
00:29:56.319 --> 00:29:56.640
<v Speaker 6>I do.

616
00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.279
<v Speaker 4>I do.

617
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:04.480
<v Speaker 9>I my cat unfortunately, oh a while ago, and uh oh,

618
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:08.440
<v Speaker 9>so I've got two dogs in right now. I've got

619
00:30:08.519 --> 00:30:14.839
<v Speaker 9>my son's dog shacking up with us, and she is adorable,

620
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:17.599
<v Speaker 9>so I would kind of have to go with a

621
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:21.960
<v Speaker 9>dog and have more personality because cats kind of just

622
00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:23.640
<v Speaker 9>use you.

623
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:28.160
<v Speaker 4>And want you to just.

624
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:32.279
<v Speaker 9>Fall all over them, and you know, when they aren't

625
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:34.680
<v Speaker 9>into you anymore, they just kind of go away.

626
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:35.279
<v Speaker 3>That's right.

627
00:30:35.880 --> 00:30:37.839
<v Speaker 5>I kind of like that about cats, though, that they're

628
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:40.000
<v Speaker 5>more independent. Like you can leave a cat at home

629
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:42.240
<v Speaker 5>with some food in a litter box and you're fine.

630
00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:42.519
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

631
00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:44.000
<v Speaker 3>I can't leave a dog at home like that.

632
00:30:44.559 --> 00:30:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys remember the old movie That Darn Cat

633
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:47.400
<v Speaker 2>with the Sign.

634
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:48.799
<v Speaker 3>I sure do. Yes.

635
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:51.160
<v Speaker 2>They tried to do the remake. It wasn't as good,

636
00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:54.160
<v Speaker 2>but that was a great, great movie. Those parents out

637
00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:55.759
<v Speaker 2>there that don't know about that movie, you got to

638
00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:56.559
<v Speaker 2>watch it with your kids.

639
00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:01.000
<v Speaker 5>I remember the movie Homeward Bound, which has a Himalayan cat,

640
00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:03.480
<v Speaker 5>and we had a cat named Boris, not Morris, but

641
00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:06.599
<v Speaker 5>Boris because he bought him from a Russian lady who

642
00:31:06.680 --> 00:31:10.319
<v Speaker 5>looked exactly like that cat. And Homeward Bound the chocolate

643
00:31:10.680 --> 00:31:13.799
<v Speaker 5>kind of seal point Himalayan, seal point Himalayan.

644
00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:14.799
<v Speaker 3>That movie just.

645
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Tore your heart out.

646
00:31:16.079 --> 00:31:17.759
<v Speaker 3>I know, Get Home.

647
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.839
<v Speaker 2>Not worse than Old Yeller, but that was the worst

648
00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:26.640
<v Speaker 2>worst dog movie for dog lovers ever created.

649
00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:27.440
<v Speaker 6>Uh, huh.

650
00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:30.000
<v Speaker 3>I a real brief story here. It's a little sad,

651
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:30.359
<v Speaker 3>but it's.

652
00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:32.400
<v Speaker 5>A little heartwarming at the same time. I think, but

653
00:31:32.640 --> 00:31:35.759
<v Speaker 5>I'm mainly a dog guy now, but growing up with Boris,

654
00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:36.920
<v Speaker 5>I mean, he was my cat.

655
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:37.920
<v Speaker 3>He was a family cat.

656
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:41.240
<v Speaker 5>But a cat typically will pick its person. Yes, this

657
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:45.119
<v Speaker 5>one person who was absolute favorite, and Boris I was

658
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.720
<v Speaker 5>his guy. And I remember he was dying of cancer.

659
00:31:50.079 --> 00:31:52.599
<v Speaker 5>So he's like thirteen years old. And my sister, my

660
00:31:52.680 --> 00:31:54.440
<v Speaker 5>baby sister, Liz, calls me on the phone.

661
00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:54.839
<v Speaker 3>She's crying.

662
00:31:54.880 --> 00:31:57.079
<v Speaker 5>I'm in Grand Rapids, Michigan. So I'm like an hour

663
00:31:57.160 --> 00:31:59.680
<v Speaker 5>and forty five minutes away from our hometown of Grass Lake.

664
00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:02.039
<v Speaker 5>She says, Boris is nearing the end, but I keep

665
00:32:02.119 --> 00:32:05.000
<v Speaker 5>telling him that you're going to come home and see him.

666
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:07.319
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, I'm on my way. I get there and

667
00:32:07.440 --> 00:32:09.559
<v Speaker 5>he's near the end. Wei should have had him put

668
00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:12.000
<v Speaker 5>to sleep, by the way, that's so humane.

669
00:32:12.200 --> 00:32:14.640
<v Speaker 3>But I get there. He kind of lifts his head up.

670
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:15.519
<v Speaker 3>I'm talking to him.

671
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:19.119
<v Speaker 5>He died twenty minutes after I go, oh no, he

672
00:32:19.200 --> 00:32:20.920
<v Speaker 5>waited for me though. He waited for me, and I

673
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:22.640
<v Speaker 5>got to see him and talk to him, pet him,

674
00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:25.000
<v Speaker 5>and then he was gone, but that was It was

675
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:27.400
<v Speaker 5>always remarkable to me that he knew and he was

676
00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.160
<v Speaker 5>listening to my sister and heard him and held on

677
00:32:30.359 --> 00:32:32.000
<v Speaker 5>and he was there when.

678
00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:32.359
<v Speaker 3>I got there.

679
00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:36.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I know another dog lover. Welcome my daughter, Tory

680
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:40.119
<v Speaker 2>Gannal to the show. Hello, toy, Hello, I'm so happy

681
00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:41.839
<v Speaker 2>to be here. Yeah, sorry you got stuck in a

682
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:44.640
<v Speaker 2>little bit of traffic. And speaking of dogs, Tory has

683
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Poppy Rose, the three year old Golden Retriever puppy, who

684
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:48.839
<v Speaker 2>is my grand dog.

685
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.400
<v Speaker 5>Oh yeah, I mean that's such a cute little dog.

686
00:32:51.880 --> 00:32:55.880
<v Speaker 5>I know that Dan has a little Golden too, so

687
00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:58.039
<v Speaker 5>they're about the same age. I would bet how old

688
00:32:58.119 --> 00:32:58.680
<v Speaker 5>is this puppy?

689
00:32:58.880 --> 00:32:59.480
<v Speaker 2>Three three?

690
00:32:59.680 --> 00:33:04.039
<v Speaker 10>And she's quite the little princess and also a little menace.

691
00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:05.799
<v Speaker 3>So spoiled and she knows it.

692
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:09.799
<v Speaker 2>Yes, oh yeah, absolutely. Have you seen those memes, Ryan

693
00:33:09.839 --> 00:33:12.240
<v Speaker 2>where the Golden Retrievers like this sweet little puppy and

694
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:14.960
<v Speaker 2>then turns into like the Torontosaurus Rex and then it

695
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:16.799
<v Speaker 2>becomes good again, like after the age.

696
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:17.119
<v Speaker 5>Of three.

697
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:18.799
<v Speaker 3>Golden.

698
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.839
<v Speaker 5>The thing is that they're so affable, they're so friendly

699
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 5>and playful. I've never met a Golden that has a

700
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:25.640
<v Speaker 5>mean bone.

701
00:33:25.680 --> 00:33:26.279
<v Speaker 3>In its body.

702
00:33:26.599 --> 00:33:28.160
<v Speaker 2>They're not mean, They're just a menace.

703
00:33:29.519 --> 00:33:34.039
<v Speaker 10>He choose everything known to mankind. But she is so

704
00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:37.160
<v Speaker 10>spoiled and that mostly comes from this one over here.

705
00:33:37.519 --> 00:33:38.920
<v Speaker 10>My mom more than me.

706
00:33:39.160 --> 00:33:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, I don't have grandkids. I have a grand dog.

707
00:33:42.480 --> 00:33:45.839
<v Speaker 2>So there you go. Yeah, Tori, speaking of dogs, I

708
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:47.720
<v Speaker 2>want to talk about the dog eat dog world of

709
00:33:47.799 --> 00:33:49.720
<v Speaker 2>politics with you, and we have just a couple of

710
00:33:49.759 --> 00:33:53.000
<v Speaker 2>minutes till the break and then we'll continue the conversation afterwards.

711
00:33:53.079 --> 00:33:56.000
<v Speaker 2>But you are the National committee woman for the Cowardy

712
00:33:56.079 --> 00:33:59.200
<v Speaker 2>Young Republicans. Correct, Yes, I am proud to be it.

713
00:33:59.519 --> 00:34:01.200
<v Speaker 2>How's that? How did that happen?

714
00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:04.279
<v Speaker 10>I kind of got talked into it. Honestly, I feel

715
00:34:04.319 --> 00:34:08.000
<v Speaker 10>like over the last ten years it's been this journey

716
00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:10.679
<v Speaker 10>of me getting involved in politics and not willing to

717
00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:14.000
<v Speaker 10>step forward into the spotlight of it, mostly watching you

718
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.880
<v Speaker 10>watch be in the spotlight of it. Now it's it's

719
00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:19.199
<v Speaker 10>kind of my turn to step up. And I think

720
00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:23.119
<v Speaker 10>the young Republicans, especially in Colorado, are looking for their

721
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:26.679
<v Speaker 10>next leadership and their next the face of the party

722
00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:28.639
<v Speaker 10>because there's a lot of work to be done here.

723
00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.400
<v Speaker 10>So I'm really excited and proud to be on the

724
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.320
<v Speaker 10>front of that, and I think we've got a lot

725
00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:36.599
<v Speaker 10>of really exciting stuff coming up.

726
00:34:36.920 --> 00:34:39.760
<v Speaker 2>You guys have fourteen chapters now across the state. Is

727
00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:40.239
<v Speaker 2>that correct?

728
00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:43.679
<v Speaker 10>Yes, we're growing super quickly. We actually just got a

729
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:47.400
<v Speaker 10>huge grant award from our national for our growth, so

730
00:34:48.000 --> 00:34:50.480
<v Speaker 10>super excited about that. And over twenty of us are

731
00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:55.199
<v Speaker 10>headed to Nashville in July August for the national convention.

732
00:34:55.519 --> 00:34:56.599
<v Speaker 2>That's very exciting.

733
00:34:57.440 --> 00:34:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, we are.

734
00:34:58.920 --> 00:35:01.199
<v Speaker 2>We are about to go to Afterwards, I want to

735
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:04.320
<v Speaker 2>talk about your journey because I threw everything liberal I

736
00:35:04.400 --> 00:35:06.800
<v Speaker 2>possibly could put you in Boulder Valley School. You really

737
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:09.519
<v Speaker 2>did University of Oregon. We'll talk about that after the break.

738
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:10.960
<v Speaker 2>This is how do you get all filling in for

739
00:35:11.079 --> 00:35:11.840
