Oh, in the 6 00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:19.199 American way is in better shape today because Donald J 7 00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:22.600 is president. I mean, two pressers in the first twenty 8 00:00:22.679 --> 00:00:26.800 four hours, both of them hilarious to varying degrees. But 9 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.399 we want to duck in. Ryan, is the President still talking? 10 00:00:29.440 --> 00:00:32.079 I followed it right up until about four o'clock Mountain. 11 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:34.079 If he's still going, let's duck in. 12 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.840 To me, like it's something that I would like. 13 00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.320 I'd like to see federal lands opened up for data centers. 14 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:39.679 I think they're going to be very important. 15 00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:42.439 Again, we have a lot of competition for that, so 16 00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:44.799 it's an honor to have these three great people. 17 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:45.799 Great, great, thank you. 18 00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.520 We've got a little bit of a hum in that line, 19 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:50.039 so we're going to duck out of it right now. 20 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:51.280 But I'll tell you this. 21 00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:53.640 As I was getting ready for the show down the stretch, 22 00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:56.399 you know, I was watching it in the background, and 23 00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:59.079 is this going to be this is going to be 24 00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.439 a marvelous for years. First, it's going to be funny, 25 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:05.120 like in the middle of all this serious stuff. And 26 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.599 he's got some lefties in the press corps going after 27 00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.239 him on the J six pardons. 28 00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:13.840 You know, Trump is he can make anything funny. 29 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:16.239 Now, I'm not saying that Jay six stuff turned into 30 00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:18.760 a laugh fest or anything, not at all. But you know, 31 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.879 he's talking about the California wildfires, you know, and he's 32 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:24.079 doing the weave and he goes off on this thing. Okay, 33 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.799 so they're not they're not turning the faucet to let 34 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.319 the water go into La because of the whatever smelt. 35 00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:34.920 And he said, how can the water hurt the smelt? 36 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:36.159 It's a fish, you know. 37 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.040 I mean, the guy just he's hilarious. But he makes 38 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:41.799 all these great points at the same time. So going 39 00:01:41.879 --> 00:01:43.840 to be a great four years. And my lord, what 40 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:47.239 about the contrast, right, just to have a president who 41 00:01:47.319 --> 00:01:51.159 can talk and a president who's not afraid of his shadow, 42 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.599 and a president who just stands up there and leads. 43 00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:55.560 And is he going to be perfect? No? 44 00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.120 Only one, only one person to find as well, how 45 00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.000 dever walks the face of the earth has been perfect. 46 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:04.480 The rest of us were all flawed, but boy, he 47 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:06.840 is great and it's just going to be a wonderful 48 00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:09.639 four years ahead. Height five five for zero five eight 49 00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.159 two five five the number text d A N five 50 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:16.800 seven seven thirty nine. So a stark contrast to President 51 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.680 Trump and his strength and his leadership would be what 52 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.520 we're stuck with here in Colorado, including lawless Mike Johnston, 53 00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.639 the mayor of Denver. So we want to get the 54 00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.520 latest to you on that, particularly since, as we said 55 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.400 at the time, right he has just made Denver and 56 00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.280 Colorado a target for the administration. And you know, in 57 00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:40.400 a lot of ways that's good in the sense that 58 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:44.960 we want to be the Trump administration's priority for getting 59 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:48.560 rid of criminal ilegals those here illegally you've committed other 60 00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.840 serious crimes. Yeah, we want to be Numero uno on 61 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.759 that list. And you know, I guess we should credit 62 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:58.120 Mike Johnston for more than poking the bear, challenging the bear, 63 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:00.719 saying that he's going to use the Denver police to 64 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:04.719 essentially fight federal law enforcement at the border the county boarder, 65 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.280 and so anyway, I guess we should thank Johnston for 66 00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:09.879 that to the extent it leads. 67 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.599 To Colorado and Denver being. 68 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.599 High on the list. We'll find out in the next 69 00:03:14.639 --> 00:03:17.639 few days. But in other ways, as I said at 70 00:03:17.639 --> 00:03:20.120 the time, how does this help the people of Denver 71 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:23.960 for Johnston to call out Trump and make him an 72 00:03:23.960 --> 00:03:26.919 instant enemy. No, it doesn't. Johnston knew that. But Johnston 73 00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:29.360 doesn't care about the people at Denver. He cares about 74 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:32.520 the far left billionaires whose support he's trying to line 75 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.560 up for his run for governor because he. 76 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.000 Believes, and he may be right, but he believes. 77 00:03:37.159 --> 00:03:40.560 That whatever lefty wins the Democratic primary is going to 78 00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:41.360 win statewide. 79 00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:42.960 So it really. 80 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.840 Doesn't matter what the people of Colorado think of Mike 81 00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.520 Johnston or any of his policies if he's the Democratic nominee, 82 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:52.759 and the Demos have proven you can buy the nomination. 83 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:56.319 Police proved that right when he steamrolled Kerry Kennedy, who 84 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.280 would have been our first female governor, a Democrat, and 85 00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.479 just obliterated her, suffocated her with his money. And so 86 00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:07.400 that's the game Johnston's playing. He couldn't care less about 87 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.360 the people of Denver, and he's proven it through his actions. 88 00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:13.360 So let's dive into some of the latest sound on that. 89 00:04:13.400 --> 00:04:18.720 But to fully appreciate his interview with Kyle Clark that 90 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.160 just happened. We have to look back for a second 91 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:23.120 cut Street. Please. 92 00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:26.199 Trump's new boarders are. 93 00:04:26.279 --> 00:04:29.879 Tom Homan has said that he is willing to arrest 94 00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.160 leaders like yourself for standing in the way of these 95 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:36.800 policies that they want to enact. 96 00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.079 Would you be willing to go to jail for these things? 97 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:41.560 Yeah, I'm not afraid of that, and I'm also not 98 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.240 seeking that. I think the goal is we want to 99 00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:46.680 be able to negotiate with reasonable people how to solve 100 00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:47.279 hard problems. 101 00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:48.759 You would encourage people to protest. 102 00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:51.360 I think we're going to look at every option. But yeah, 103 00:04:51.399 --> 00:04:53.759 I don't think that there are You know, I talked 104 00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:55.680 to some high school kids this week who were terrified 105 00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.319 about this. I don't think those kids are going to 106 00:04:57.399 --> 00:04:59.839 stand there and watch three of their classmates get pulled 107 00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:01.839 out a history class with other twenty seven stand by 108 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:04.639 and do nothing. I don't think that's what Denveright's or 109 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:06.279 Americans would do in this context at all. 110 00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:09.319 What is your line where you say, yes, I support 111 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.639 these deportations and no I don't support these other ones. 112 00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.160 Yeah, I think our line is clear. We think if 113 00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:18.399 you are a violent criminal that is committing serious crimes 114 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.839 like murder or rape in Denver, you should. 115 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:22.160 Be prosecuted to the folks end of the law and 116 00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:22.959 you should be deported. 117 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.319 Oh so that's the line now, murder or rape. Right. 118 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.639 If Mike Johnston had the courage to come on, well, 119 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:32.279 then we could ask him the questions, where do you 120 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:36.240 draw that line, Mike Johnston? And but he won't, of course, 121 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:38.920 because he doesn't have good answers. But what I want 122 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:42.240 to know, Ryan, is how does a human ever get 123 00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:46.600 to the point where the truth just doesn't matter to them? 124 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.319 And clearly Johnston is at that point in many ways 125 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:55.240 where he tries to turn Trump's program, which vast majority 126 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.160 of American support, of deporting those here illegally committed the 127 00:05:58.240 --> 00:06:02.360 Trumps crimes, tries to get people to believe that, know, 128 00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.439 what Trump really intends to do is come and pull 129 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.879 kids out of classrooms, kids who've done nothing else wrong. 130 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.279 I mean so, but it's the reality of the modern left, 131 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:15.279 and it's one of the reasons that they're losing, and 132 00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.720 they're losing lots of places, and eventually they. 133 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:18.199 Will lose here. 134 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:21.360 It's just going to take longer. They just lie, They 135 00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:24.800 just lie at every turn. So let's get to the 136 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:26.319 latest with with Johnston. 137 00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:27.680 Cut for please. 138 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:31.759 Well, abide by state and local law and we or 139 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.199 clearly by federal law, and so that'll continue to be true. 140 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:38.000 We just won't do federal law enforcements job for them, 141 00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:41.120 and we won't help support their effort to kind of 142 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.040 bring tarrt communities if they are trying to read schools 143 00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:44.000 or hospitals troches. 144 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:46.759 And currently the courts have upheld that view that you're 145 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:49.920 under no obligation to enforce federal law. Right, all hell 146 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:51.800 would break loose if cultural the other way. 147 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:54.439 Yes, I think you would find wides by resistance to that. 148 00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:57.839 Wait a second, and we've got to play that over 149 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.439 again and again. As the son of a thirty year cop, 150 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:04.120 I really take very personally, and everybody who supports law 151 00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:09.720 enforcement should deeply be deeply angry with Mike Johnston for 152 00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:12.399 his recklessness when it comes to the lives of law 153 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:16.279 enforcement officers. And this goes back to when he pranced 154 00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:19.399 around the national stage just bellowing for anybody you would 155 00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:22.040 hear that he was going to make the Denver cops 156 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.399 go out to the county line and take on the 157 00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:28.279 Feds as they came in to deport people. Well, first 158 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:30.720 of all, he's got to know he's got a lot 159 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:32.680 of bad ideas, but he's a smart guy, so he 160 00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:36.199 has to know when he talks about law enforcement as 161 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.319 the enemy like that, federal law enforcement, he is putting 162 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.120 a target on their back. And Mike Johnston has got 163 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.560 to know there are a lot of nut jobs out there, 164 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:46.959 a lot of nut jobs out there who the mayor 165 00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:50.279 of Denver is green lighting with that kind of talk 166 00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:53.040 police officers as our enemy. And he just did it 167 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:56.439 again when he talks about federal law enforcement if they 168 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.079 come in to try to terrorize that kind of thing. 169 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:03.720 So what you there is a snobby little lefty who 170 00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.800 doesn't give a damn about the lives of police officers 171 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:09.399 and he views them as lesser and he's willing to 172 00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:11.720 do things like that. I mean, where do you ever 173 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.160 get this view of other human life as being so 174 00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.079 throwaway where you would get to the point where you 175 00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.360 would go down to the mall where they had barely 176 00:08:20.399 --> 00:08:22.199 cleaned up the blood of the flight of ten and 177 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:25.199 whoit her throat slit in the thirty four year old 178 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.800 stab to death and the two others butchered and you'd 179 00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:30.759 go down there and prance around into clare victory. How 180 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.799 do you ever get to that point? And remember we 181 00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.879 had the dad of one of those victims on the show. 182 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:37.759 He said he hadn't heard from the mare at all. 183 00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:41.759 How does a person ever get to that point? But 184 00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.159 that's the reality of Mike Johnston right now, A five 185 00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.679 five for zero five eight two five five the number 186 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:49.519 Dan five seven seven three nine. 187 00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:52.200 Here's the good news. Here's the good news. 188 00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.039 He is hurting his own cause, not just his own 189 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:59.159 cause politically. I think he has plummeted in terms of 190 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.559 his political price aspects. But but he is hurting the 191 00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:08.039 far left costs and he is helping Trump's cause, which 192 00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.840 is America's cause because guess what, a strong majority of 193 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:13.879 Americans agree with him on these policies. 194 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:15.879 So that's the good news. 195 00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:20.639 The bad news is, in the meantime, he's he's turning 196 00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:26.480 some people against law enforcement. He is green lighting violent 197 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.200 psychos against law enforcement, and he's putting law enforcement in 198 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.759 more danger. You're on the Dan Caplass. 199 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:41.279 Show, and now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 200 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:45.000 If I may take the liberty for just fifteen seconds 201 00:09:45.159 --> 00:09:47.159 to say something in Spanish, because I know a lot 202 00:09:47.159 --> 00:09:49.240 of people back home would be very proud, and I 203 00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:50.720 want to make sure I acknowledge that I get a 204 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.080 lot of adios. 205 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.759 I mean, if I'm Alio finish, I mean, if I'm. 206 00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:19.360 Sent to in quenty, says a Trump. I just said, 207 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:20.919 I saved a munch of money by switching the. 208 00:10:20.919 --> 00:10:21.960 Guy com That's what I said. 209 00:10:23.679 --> 00:10:25.720 That's great, that's great. 210 00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:27.559 I mean, think about the difference the day makes. 211 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.240 And I know it's a long time in the making, 212 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:32.360 and and Trump and his team haven't essentially been been 213 00:10:32.600 --> 00:10:35.639 leading the world since he got elected, But what a 214 00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:39.080 difference a day makes. I mean, We've had this Secretary 215 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.679 of State who is just the patsy for evil in 216 00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:46.399 the world, and and now we have Marco Rubio, who 217 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:49.320 you know, had been my favorite for president for a 218 00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.559 long time. Obviously, when Trump won that nomination, supported Trump, 219 00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:58.919 and Trump turned into a better president and a better 220 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:02.600 force for life life and a protector of innocent life. 221 00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:06.159 Then I think Marco Rubio could have been at that time, 222 00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:08.679 or anybody else could have been at that time, and. 223 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.960 President Trump ended up being in my view. 224 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:14.840 Better for the country long term than it would have 225 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:17.600 been if Marco Rubio had been elected at that time, 226 00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.960 because Trump gave birth to this movement, and it's a 227 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.039 movement that has transformed the GOP in a very positive 228 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:30.320 and lasting way. And so while I think Rubio would 229 00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:34.320 have had a successful two term presidency, I don't think 230 00:11:34.360 --> 00:11:38.000 it would have had as much long term impact as Trump. 231 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.200 But now I do believe Marco Rubio will be president someday. 232 00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:44.639 I'm not saying he'll win in twenty eight. 233 00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:46.919 I think JD. Van says the inside track there. 234 00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.879 But Ryan, I'm sure you've thought about this, probably you 235 00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:52.320 know during the hours you waited outside the Capitol Wan 236 00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.320 Arena yesterday, so you could serve our audience so well 237 00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.919 by being in there for that bit of history. But 238 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.320 think about it the primary that's going to start in 239 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:06.320 twenty six, think about all the talent on the GOP side. 240 00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:07.080 You know, JD. 241 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:11.480 Vance, the inside track, You're gonna have Marco Rubio, You've 242 00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:14.399 got all these other stars out there, And it's just 243 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:17.080 one of the reasons I'm really excited about the future. 244 00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.360 Nothing's guaranteed, right except God wins in the end. But 245 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.679 I'm very, very excited about the future of the country 246 00:12:23.679 --> 00:12:27.000 because I think the GOP is just pipelined all this 247 00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:32.159 great talent. Trump is like this big icebreaker, just changing 248 00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.080 the landscape long term if the GOP takes advantage of it. 249 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:38.120 I like the way that sets up. 250 00:12:38.360 --> 00:12:41.600 The talent on our side of the isle, Dan, it's 251 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:44.799 just stark in contrast to whatever the Left is going 252 00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:45.399 to try. 253 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:48.279 To conjure up. And you'd mentioned two of them. Marco 254 00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:50.480 Rubio will have served as Secretary of State. 255 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:53.159 That's one of the highest level positions you can have 256 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:55.559 in the cabinet for the president, and he's been the 257 00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.559 Senator from Florida for so many years. You've got Senator 258 00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.600 Ted Cruz, you got jdva is the current vice president, 259 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:04.000 who's going to be well positioned to carry on. 260 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:04.799 The Trump legacy. 261 00:13:04.879 --> 00:13:08.039 Might get Trump's endorsement, which would be enormous. You would 262 00:13:08.039 --> 00:13:13.279 think Governor Ron DeSantis in Florida, perhaps Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, 263 00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:17.279 who was remarkable in her comments at Capitol One Arena 264 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:18.519 just yesterday. 265 00:13:18.639 --> 00:13:21.480 The governor of Arkansas will have served true terms. 266 00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.639 So boy, you're still on that Huckaby kick. 267 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:28.399 And hey, she's great, But I mean, realistically, my friend, 268 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:34.879 you know, the list probably stops with fans and DeSantis 269 00:13:35.679 --> 00:13:37.399 and Rubio. 270 00:13:37.120 --> 00:13:39.559 Right, I mean, and there's so much more talent there. 271 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.519 But Ted Cruz, but boy, Ted Cruz awesome. I've been 272 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:44.519 so impressed with him. 273 00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:46.759 But what about by way, It's a nice problem to have, right, 274 00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:48.919 If you're on the Democrat side, what are you talking 275 00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:52.200 about right now? You're talking about which scrap stinks less? 276 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:53.279 Well, you know what? 277 00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.919 And on the GOP side you have this abundance of riches. 278 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.639 And I think Rubio, just like Trump, is going to 279 00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.279 be I think, an even better president in his second 280 00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.320 term because it's staggered than if it had been consecutive. 281 00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:08.919 I think Rubio he is going to be a far 282 00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:12.600 better president for not having been elected in sixteen and 283 00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:14.279 having these other experiences. 284 00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:19.039 First, it'll be fascinating, and we're projecting forward here, but 285 00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:20.720 you know, you got to take a snapshot of what 286 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:22.519 it's going to look like in twenty twenty eight and 287 00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:26.120 can Rubio do better? Can he approve upon his performance 288 00:14:26.120 --> 00:14:28.279 that we saw in twenty sixteen, where I think admittedly, 289 00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:30.720 even though he was my first choice too, Dan yours 290 00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:33.360 and mine, he was green politically, I don't think he 291 00:14:33.399 --> 00:14:35.600 could handle himself or think on his feet as quickly. 292 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:38.240 Chris Christie kind of took him out at that debate 293 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:40.639 right before New Hampshire, so he would need to fine 294 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:41.960 tune kind of his presentation. 295 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.200 I think he's already done that in large degree. 296 00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:46.440 But there's another guy that I think he's going to 297 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:48.399 be in the mix and in the conversation, and that's. 298 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:50.919 Representative Byron Donald's from Floorda. 299 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:54.600 Yeah, yeah, another big stuff, talented, uber talented. 300 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:57.200 But now you're starting to get into the VP stuff, right, 301 00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.320 and listen, I know we may have no audience left 302 00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:02.240 two minutes from now if we start talking about the 303 00:15:02.279 --> 00:15:05.200 twenty eighth cycle. I started it my bad. All I'm 304 00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.320 saying is that the country is better off that Trump 305 00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.559 became president instead of Rubio, and that Rubio is going 306 00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.279 to be a great president and even better for all 307 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.799 of these experiences. That's all I'm saying. But then you 308 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.600 bring it back to Colorado, right, and it contrasts with 309 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.879 what we open the show with, which is this dangerous, 310 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:30.159 deceptive lunacy from lawless Mike Johnston, the mayor of Denver, 311 00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:33.879 where he continues to put targets on the back of 312 00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:37.759 law enforcement, but by now talking about federal law enforcement 313 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:42.879 officers coming in and terrorizing in Colorado, which is a 314 00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.879 total lie, totally false. 315 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:45.600 And he knows it. 316 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:49.519 But he's not only become lawless, Mike, he's become shameless, Mike. 317 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.200 And you know, if it was just the normal lefty stuff, 318 00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:55.480 who cares. You know, he's irrelevant, just like all these 319 00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.759 lefties in Colorado are irrelevant right now. They're not going 320 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.480 anywhere nationally. Yeah, they're relevant in terms of the harm 321 00:16:01.519 --> 00:16:03.879 they cause in the state, but right now, you know, 322 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.440 if it wasn't this lefty, it'd be some other lefty 323 00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:10.000 holding these statewide offices. Colorado is getting there, but it 324 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:15.000 hasn't made that change yet. But Johnston becomes much more 325 00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:18.480 dangerous than the others because of the way he's targeting 326 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:23.000 law enforcement and speaking of them as the enemy, as invaders, 327 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:26.799 as terrorizers in an era where he knows you've got 328 00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.279 these lunatics out there looking to take out law enforcement. 329 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:34.799 So that's what makes him so dangerous. The rest of them, yeah, 330 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.600 they do a lot of bad things, but right now 331 00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:40.480 the state's just controlled by lefties. But as you look 332 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:42.159 at all that talent, and Ryan, I'm sure you had 333 00:16:42.159 --> 00:16:44.120 a lot of time to ponder it yesterday at the 334 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:45.879 Capitol Center and then I'll get to text in the 335 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:51.120 next segment. But Colorado, okay, Colorado. You know we're blessed 336 00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:53.480 with all this national talent. We know we've got a 337 00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.799 lot of great GOP talent in Colorado. 338 00:16:58.360 --> 00:16:59.440 But who is in a. 339 00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.879 Position if anyone now to break through as we look 340 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:06.200 at these state wide races in twenty six and twenty eight. 341 00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:07.920 So we'd love to get your take on that as well. 342 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:10.359 Eight five five four zero five eight two five five. 343 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:13.039 I know Ryan's thought a lot about it. You can 344 00:17:13.039 --> 00:17:16.640 text Dan da n five seven seven three nine. 345 00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:20.559 Well, we do think so that Scott Bottoms is announcing 346 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:24.480 his candidacy for the GOP primary for governor Dan so he. 347 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:26.160 Is, Oh, I didn't know anybody he'd announced. 348 00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.640 Yep, he will fill us in give give. 349 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:29.480 Us my father. 350 00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:32.240 I'm just observing what I've seen on social media from 351 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.839 the state representative. He's a pretty strong conservative and that 352 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:39.279 may be difficult needle to thread for him here in Colorado. 353 00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:41.839 Well, wonderful, Let's get him on the show. Let's get 354 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:47.200 any of these folks to announce all the show and yeah, yeah, 355 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:50.640 because you would expect that people will start announcing about now. 356 00:17:50.720 --> 00:17:53.759 Some other people make it in mid year, some may 357 00:17:53.799 --> 00:17:57.359 wait a little bit later, But yeah, I would expect 358 00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:01.440 we'll start to hear some of that right now. Can Colorado? 359 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:05.400 Can Colorado be saved short term? Can anybody win statewide 360 00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.640 in this state? So we'll throw that out there for discussion. 361 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:09.720 It's not our main focus.

Yeah. 374 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.319 We will partner on violent criminals as we have always 375 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:52.119 done in the past. 376 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:54.000 Mstian, we will do it again. 377 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:55.839 We don't want criminals of any of you have round 378 00:18:55.880 --> 00:18:57.759 on our streets, and that's been clear for us. 379 00:18:57.559 --> 00:19:03.480 Consistently that is is simply not true. Wow. 380 00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:04.880 Wow. 381 00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.200 Another anyway, Dan, that you said, I really want you 382 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:08.599 to build on this point because I think it's an 383 00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:11.559 important one, and I hadn't even pointed that out when 384 00:19:11.599 --> 00:19:13.960 I went through and edited these with Mayor Mike Johnston. 385 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.000 He cited the extreme examples of murder and rape. 386 00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:19.240 Yeah, support those. 387 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.720 Two, but there are a lot of other violent crimes, 388 00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:23.759 roperty crimes, auto thefts. 389 00:19:23.799 --> 00:19:26.640 Those are okay for Mike Johnson, apparently all. 390 00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:30.119 Sorts of those crimes. And by the way, in the past, 391 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:33.359 show us on the record, Mayor Johnston, where you have 392 00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:39.359 and where your administration has assisted ICE and identifying these 393 00:19:39.440 --> 00:19:42.799 these violent criminals and helped ICE get rid of them. 394 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:42.920 No. 395 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:46.759 Obviously, what police in Johnston see is that the tide 396 00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:51.240 has turned nationally and so now they're switching positions in 397 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.000 my view, you know, to try to avoid getting wiped 398 00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:57.519 out politically. So where were they can anybody find where 399 00:19:57.559 --> 00:20:00.160 they were saying these things before? I'm not saying they 400 00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:01.880 didn't whisper it out of the side of their mouth 401 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.799
