But in this second hour, we're going to 10 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.039 recap a little bit of some of the stuff we've 11 00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:28.920 talked about because we have some breaking news. And if 12 00:00:28.960 --> 00:00:30.760 you weren't with us in the first hour, you probably 13 00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.399 didn't hear Ryan shuling live. But you'll definitely want to 14 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:35.280 go back and listen to the podcast of that show 15 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:38.039 if you weren't listening to it today, because we had 16 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:42.240 a little bit of a hubbub breakup over the over 17 00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:45.079 the night at the Colorado State Capitol, not actually at 18 00:00:45.079 --> 00:00:47.479 the Capitol, but involving the folks down there on the 19 00:00:47.479 --> 00:00:54.359 Republican side of the aisle. The Representative Ryan Armagos stepped 20 00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.799 down a few days ago, or he's making his step 21 00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.079 down effective September one, when he was the House Minority 22 00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.239 so in accordance with leadership down there, they needed to 23 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.599 elect a new whip, which is the person who kind 24 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.319 of gets the votes together down at the Colorado State House. 25 00:01:09.879 --> 00:01:12.799 That person ended up being Representative Carlos Baron out of 26 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.359 the forty eighth district, the Fort Lupton area of Wild County. 27 00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.959 Congrats to him. But in the process of all that occurring, 28 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:21.959 there were a couple other candidates that jumped in the 29 00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:26.719 race for that particular position within leadership, Representative Ron Weinberg, 30 00:01:27.799 --> 00:01:33.840 excuse me, Ron Weinberg, and Representative Brandy Bradley. And as 31 00:01:33.879 --> 00:01:37.000 all this stuff was kind of, I guess building up, 32 00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:41.959 some information got put forward from different folks accusing Representative 33 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:47.959 Ron Weinberg of some sexually harassing comments and actions either 34 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.000 at the Capitol or even outside of the Capitol in 35 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.359 years past. So that kind of blew up and turned 36 00:01:55.359 --> 00:02:00.400 into a back and forth between Representative Ron Weinberg wife 37 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:03.560 defending him on Facebook and other social media platforms, and 38 00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:07.719 then Represented Brandy Bradley kind of coming back at him 39 00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.879 on Ryan's show. So it's been a day for those 40 00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.840 of you that aren't necessarily involved in state level politics. 41 00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:18.560 This may be why, but for those of you who 42 00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.520 haven't been or who even are involved in the day 43 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:23.879 to day stuff, you have to kind of look at 44 00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:26.479 this and shake your head a little bit. Again, I 45 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.400 had planned on speaking quite a bit about the Big 46 00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:31.280 Beautiful Bill and the goods and the bads that are 47 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:33.560 in that bill, but sometimes you have to go with 48 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.680 where the fire is for a particular show. So we're 49 00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:37.360 going to continue to talk a little bit about this 50 00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:41.919 Ron Weinberg story or this allegation against Ron Weinberg. We 51 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.960 will get to the Epstein stuff. We will get to 52 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:46.120 the Big Beautiful Bill. We're also going to have a 53 00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:49.639 candidate for governor on at five point thirty six. Robert 54 00:02:49.680 --> 00:02:52.280 Moore will be on with us. Again, I'm trying to 55 00:02:52.479 --> 00:02:54.159 get as many of these people on the record so 56 00:02:54.199 --> 00:02:56.960 you guys can have some idea of who they are 57 00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:02.240 and why they're running. But the breaking news of it 58 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:06.439 is the Day Today with Representative Ron Weinbergen and Ryan 59 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.919 Schuling Show Ryan Schuling Live. He had one of the accusers, 60 00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:14.319 Jacqueline Anderson, on, and she gave kind of a rundown 61 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.759 about what happened and why she decided to put her 62 00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.120 story forward, and I think it's pretty compelling and I'd 63 00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:23.520 like to play that interview if we could. It's cut 64 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:24.520 twenty three. 65 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.000 When my husband and I both were a part of 66 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.319 the leadership program of the Rockies. I was class of 67 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.199 twenty one in which Ron was our class president. My 68 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:35.520 husband is class of twenty twenty two. So the two 69 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.960 incidents in my victim statement reports were both at events 70 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.199 hosted by LPR. We you know, similar to this. Unfortunately, 71 00:03:44.199 --> 00:03:46.280 it's one of those things where fortunately I would say 72 00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:49.280 I wasn't sexually assaulted. It wasn't like he physically did 73 00:03:49.280 --> 00:03:51.360 anything to me, so it wasn't anything I felt like 74 00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:54.000 I could report to the police and have anything done 75 00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:56.759 about it. But similar if you're being harassed at work, 76 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.680 you take it to your HR. So when I heard 77 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.560 of some incidents is happening in twenty twenty two, my 78 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.639 husband and I decided to go forward and deal and 79 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:10.719 speak with LPR leadership, bring forward to them the attention 80 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:14.800 of what had been happening, you know, with his harassments. 81 00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.759 And at that time they had a zoom call with 82 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:21.240 us and they had told us that they had decided 83 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.639 the disciplinary action for Ron would be that he would 84 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:27.680 be no longer allowed to attend any future LPR events, 85 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:30.600 and at that time we felt that was satisfactory. You know, 86 00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:32.920 we sord appreciate that we don't have to be in 87 00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.800 any spaces with him, and that's great. So we just 88 00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:38.920 kind of moved on with our lives, you know, unfortunate 89 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.759 that you know it happened, but you move on. Even 90 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.480 though my husband and I have stepped out of the 91 00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:47.360 political space over the last few years and just led 92 00:04:47.439 --> 00:04:50.319 very quiet lives, I know a lot of people still 93 00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:53.240 in the space who are still fighting for our freedoms 94 00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.439 here in Colorado, and I respect that they do. But 95 00:04:56.480 --> 00:05:00.399 when I hear stories of young girls, young age who 96 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:03.079 are being harassed and afraid to come forward. And then 97 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.120 when I had found out that he was running for whip, 98 00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:08.040 I said, enough is enough, And sometimes we just need 99 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:10.079 to go ahead and be bold and step forward and 100 00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.959 speak our truth and say this is what happened, and 101 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.480 hopes that people will feel saith in coming forward and 102 00:05:17.519 --> 00:05:19.480 telling their stories. And I got to tell you, there 103 00:05:19.519 --> 00:05:23.439 are people in our dms with information about their experience 104 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:27.680 on the house floor, in the offices, and they're very 105 00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:30.199 scared to come forward. And we're trying to help them, 106 00:05:30.360 --> 00:05:31.959 you know, be able to do that in a safe space. 107 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.000 But I'm tired of hearing how you know, at the 108 00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.720 end of the day, Listen, there's definitely a culture of 109 00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.879 burying harassment in politics, and I'm just not willing to 110 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.360 be complicit in that anymore. And so that's why I 111 00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:46.600 came forward with my statement. 112 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:51.160 So that's the statement from Jacqueline Anderson on Ryan Schulings 113 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.680 Show earlier today. That kind of sets the groundwork for 114 00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:57.079 the allegations against Representative Weinberg. And to make things clear, 115 00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:59.920 you know, these things were put out on social media 116 00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:04.720 starting last night through mainstream media. They kind of got 117 00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:07.199 repeated in several different stories. So I reached out to 118 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.360 Representative Weinberg early this morning, round five point thirty this 119 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.000 morning through Facebook, offered him an opportunity to come on 120 00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:14.639 the show. We kind of had a little bit of 121 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:19.040 back and forth throughout the day and ultimately he elected 122 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.959 to just provide a statement, and that statement reads, I'm 123 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.680 taking this very serious under the advice of legal counsel. 124 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.040 I will respond when it is appropriate to do so. 125 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:31.040 So that's the statement I have. We've left the show 126 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:34.279 open if Ron wants to come on and say his 127 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.240 side of the story at any point during the show. 128 00:06:36.279 --> 00:06:37.279 He's welcome to do so. 129 00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:40.360 And there's one point here, Sheriff, that I want to 130 00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.800 kind of refocus on, based on what Jacqueline said, And 131 00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:46.920 I'd be very curious to hear both the response from 132 00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:51.360 Representative Weinberg himself and his wife Carolyn, who so vociferously 133 00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.000 defended him in a Facebook post subsequent to what Jacqueline 134 00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:58.360 Anderson put on that platform, and that is he has 135 00:06:58.399 --> 00:07:01.920 been banned from LPI. That is a provable fact or 136 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:04.800 a disprovable fact that either happened or it didn't right, 137 00:07:05.040 --> 00:07:08.040 So he would have to acknowledge that, and then Representative 138 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:10.120 Weinberg would have to get into the reasons why, Well, then, 139 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:11.959 why did that happen? Why would they have banned you 140 00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:13.839 if you didn't do anything wrong? And I think that 141 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:15.720 is a slippery slope for him personally. 142 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:18.720 Well to that point, Ryan, you know, there's a third 143 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.639 story that was provided as a victim impact story, and 144 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.360 it's rather lengthy. I'm not going to read it all 145 00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:26.879 on air, not because it's not important, but I think 146 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:30.480 I can summarize it pretty well. Also, the author of 147 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.800 said statement didn't want her name release. She just used initials. 148 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.480 The initials are BD, and it says at the end 149 00:07:37.519 --> 00:07:41.240 of the retreat in twenty twenty two, and I'm inferring 150 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:44.399 that's LPR. They were celebrating a win at the bar 151 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.399 with a room packed full of people. I don't know 152 00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:49.959 exactly what they want, but it infers that alcohol was involved. 153 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.800 Everybody's hanging out at the bar, and as the thing starts, 154 00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.920 the event starts to wrap down for the night, this 155 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:59.959 BD says she's approached by Representative Weinberg who's kind of 156 00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:02.279 in a jovial mood and says, Hey, let's go steal 157 00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.000 a flag over there, and tries to get her to 158 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.600 go with him, and she thinks he's a little nuts 159 00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:10.920 from what I'm inferring from the story, and kind of 160 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.560 blows him off. He makes a comment again, and then 161 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.079 he starts kind of turning this into more of a hey, 162 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.879 would you like to come hang out for the evening? 163 00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:21.240 I think you're you know, you're interested, You're an interesting person, 164 00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.319 you know, a little more sexual in nature. And when 165 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.680 she doesn't respond in the way that it appears that 166 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:34.559 Representative Weinberg would allegedly hope she would then beade receives 167 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.879 a kind of a scream from Representative Weinberg, is explained 168 00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:42.919 to her with a very you know, coarse tone that 169 00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:48.120 basically uses the efford and she begins to get very threatened. 170 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.759 At that point, according to her story, she gets another 171 00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.480 person to escort her back to her room. And you know, 172 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.320 that's the story that she tells in a nutshell. It's 173 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.159 far more detailed than that. You can find it on 174 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:03.000 social media, but it kind of kind of goes along 175 00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:05.000 with the narrative that you were just explaining Ryan that 176 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:07.519 you know, there's a little bit of alcohol going on, 177 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.679 there's some back and forth, there's some comments being made, 178 00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.840 and you know, it just sounds as if a lot 179 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:20.399 of this nexus is around LPR and drinking. And I 180 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.360 think that takes us to cut twenty four that I'd 181 00:09:22.360 --> 00:09:24.480 like to play. That's a follow up to Jacqueline Anderson's 182 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:25.120 first comments. 183 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.399 I want to talk about that first instance a little 184 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.799 bit because it does bring into Rod's wife, especially if 185 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.039 she just went to social media this afternoon to say 186 00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.559 that they are false accusations. She was there when my 187 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:40.200 husband confronted Ron the day after and had a little 188 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.919 discussion about his behavior and how inappropriate it was. And 189 00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:49.759 I was quite stopped that she seemed very disconnected your husband, 190 00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:52.519 Like Carolyn standing there next to her husband Ron, and 191 00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:56.200 you have another man telling him it's inappropriate for you 192 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.320 to say these things to my wife. You need to 193 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:01.360 step back, you know, give them the what for. And 194 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.279 she's just standing there like nothing's going on. How disconnected 195 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:08.559 do you have to be to completely shut down? So 196 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:11.360 for her to claim that they're false, she was there, 197 00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:12.759 she was a part of it. 198 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:16.000 So that kind of just sums it up right, like 199 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:19.360 there's there's witnesses to this. To your point, Ryan, I mean, 200 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:22.080 there's way more to this story. And as I said earlier, 201 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.200 you know, Ron's side of the story is important to 202 00:10:25.279 --> 00:10:27.360 We need to hear all sides so we can figure 203 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.120 out what is the absolute truth. But the absence of 204 00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.240 a story is just giving the narrative over to the 205 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.720 accusers right now. And again, I have no reason to 206 00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.919 disbelieve what they're saying. I think they're both reputable people. 207 00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:46.240 But you know, there's there's my my law enforcement, my 208 00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:49.720 law enforcement skepticism that says, you know, there's a little 209 00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.080 little something more here. We're gonna go to break. When 210 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:54.159 we come back, we'll clean this up just a little bit. 211 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:57.639 We'll dive into the Epstein stuff and the Big Beautiful 212 00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.600 Bill and get ready for our big interview with Robert Moore. 213 00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.480 You're listening to the Dan Caplas Show here on six 214 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:05.799 point thirty k HOW with Well County Sheriff Steve Dreams. 215 00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.320 And now back to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 216 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:12.759 Welcome back to the Dan Caplas Show here with Well 217 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:15.000 County Sheriff Steve Riams as your guest host. This is 218 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.600 day two of two for me. Tomorrow you'll have Heidiganaal 219 00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:19.919 and then Dan the Big Man will be back in 220 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.799 the seat for Thursday and Friday, I believe, hopefully crowing 221 00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:25.559 about a win that he had in court. But you know, 222 00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:27.519 we've kind of been talking about a lot today. There 223 00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.440 was some breaking news with Representative Ron Weinberg being accused 224 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:35.360 of some we'll say sexual misconduct, both at the state 225 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.360 Capitol and outside of the state Capitol, maybe at the 226 00:11:38.480 --> 00:11:41.519 leadership program of the Rockies. We've also talked with Congressman 227 00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:43.879 Gabe Evans about some of the benefits of the Big 228 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.799 Beautiful Bill that he helps sign or get through Congress, 229 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.639 I shouldn't say signed. Trump signed that on July fourth, 230 00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:52.200 under a lot of fanfare. And then we've also kind 231 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.759 of revisited a little bit about the Epstein files, and 232 00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:59.200 you know how the Trump administration is handling this particular issue. 233 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.159 And if you think they're being upfront with us or not, 234 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:05.200 you can call in and text on any of those topics. 235 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.919 You can text Dan at five seven seven three nine 236 00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:10.480 or call three O three seven one three eight two 237 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:12.919 fivey five. I'd love to hear your comments on any 238 00:12:12.960 --> 00:12:16.759 of the aforementioned topics. But one of the texts we 239 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.320 got in here says Sheriff Frames. Long ago, Julian Assan 240 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:22.240 said the Epstein list would never be released because the 241 00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.679 US alphabet agencies would lose their lose their control over 242 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:28.080 all the powerful people that spend decades setting it up. 243 00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.720 At this point, I don't give a flying bleep underage 244 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.080 girls or sex trafficked being raped many times over. Pam 245 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:37.879 Bondi said they would arrest anyone committing criminal acts. Well, 246 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:40.600 they have thousands of hours of videos from Epstein's New 247 00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:44.360 York home, New Mexico ranch, and Epstein Island, which most 248 00:12:44.399 --> 00:12:46.200 likely shows many crimes you know, there's a lot of 249 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.279 truth to that. That's from one of our faithful listeners, Alexa. 250 00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:52.840 You know, I can't. I can't argue with any of that. 251 00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.399 And when I when that, I guess that's where I'm 252 00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:59.000 coming from, Like, how can there not be more out there? Yeah, 253 00:12:59.080 --> 00:13:02.720 Epstein's dead. You can't press charges on a dead guy. 254 00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:05.279 But there's a lot of information out there that we 255 00:13:05.399 --> 00:13:07.840 just don't know. And we do know that there was, 256 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:11.039 you know, flight logs on the Lolita Express. There had 257 00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:13.600 to have been tons of other people contacted in the 258 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.120 course of this investigation if it was done even remotely 259 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:21.440 like what would be expected in my law enforcement circles. 260 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.000 And I just can't believe that there aren't more people 261 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.840 either on a formal list or an informal list, or 262 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:29.360 as a list of witnesses or a list of suspects. 263 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.600 It's just hard for me to wrap my brain around it. Then, 264 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:34.320 I also want to cover some of the points that 265 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.240 gave Evans made. Congressman gave Evans from the eighth Congressional 266 00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:41.240 District about the Big Beautiful Bill. He highlighted a lot 267 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.600 of the stuff that they've been pounding the table about. 268 00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:47.000 It's one of the largest tax cuts in history, should 269 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:50.039 save families making less than fifty thousand dollars a year 270 00:13:50.559 --> 00:13:54.559 the most. On average, you may see about ten thousand 271 00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:58.080 more in your paychecks because of the reduction on tips, 272 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.879 no tax on tips, tax on overtime, no tax on 273 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:03.960 social Security, or at least a credit up to I 274 00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:07.279 think six thousand dollars for people earning less than seventy 275 00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.799 five thousand on Social Security, twelve and a half billion. 276 00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:15.639 Modernization of our air traffic control system. I hope that's enough, 277 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:19.840 because we've heard some pretty bad stuff. Permanently increasing the 278 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:23.320 child tax credit for more than forty million families. Securing 279 00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:25.799 our borders by finishing the border wall and hiring thousands 280 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:28.480 of new ICE officers and border patrol agents. I think 281 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:31.200 there's ten thousand ICE officers in this bill, in two 282 00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.399 thousand border patrol agency our agents. Driving down energy costs 283 00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.039 with massive expansion of domestic and oil and gas production, 284 00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:43.799 to a tax deduction for American made automobiles, and protection 285 00:14:43.879 --> 00:14:48.360 for two million family farms from punitive double taxation. A 286 00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.039 lot more in here, about one point five trillion in 287 00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:55.679 cost savings by not giving some not giving medicaid to 288 00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:59.559 folks who don't deserve it aren't here legally, whatever the 289 00:14:59.600 --> 00:15:01.440 case may be. And I think one part that I 290 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:04.960 like the most is there is no longer a tax 291 00:15:05.000 --> 00:15:08.720 credit for electric vehicles. You will not get the seventy 292 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.919 five hundred dollars tax credit for a new vehicle or 293 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.320 four thousand dollars tax credit for a used vehicle. I'm 294 00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.720 tired of subsidizing that crap. And no longer are you're 295 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:20.200 going to be subsidized for putting a charging station in 296 00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:23.120 your home. I think that one kicks in in twenty 297 00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:25.519 twenty six. That's not listed on this page here, that 298 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:28.960 came out from the White House, but that one personally, 299 00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:32.600 I'm tired of helping other people buy cars. You know. 300 00:15:32.679 --> 00:15:36.440 John Caldera is famous for having bought a Nissan Leaf, 301 00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:38.039 and I say, you should always turn in his man 302 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:42.200 card for driving that thing. And I've told him that personally, 303 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.799 so we're not airing any dirty laundry here. But he 304 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:47.320 did it because, hey, he took advantage of the tax 305 00:15:47.360 --> 00:15:50.799 credits and apparently he doesn't care about driving a car 306 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:51.720 that a man should drive. 307 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:56.559 Yes, but think about though, who that tax credit benefits. 308 00:15:56.600 --> 00:16:00.639 This isn't like a child tax credit for your absolutely family. 309 00:16:00.919 --> 00:16:04.600 This is for high end, wealthy individuals. It's another write 310 00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:05.279 off for them. 311 00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:06.720 And that's why it pisses me. 312 00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.159 Yeah, same you and me, both sheriff, because this is 313 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:13.600 not something that's going to affect the average American working 314 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:15.159 men and woman. These are the people that are in 315 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:17.879 the higher tax bracket anyway. So what are you actually 316 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:20.960 doing here. You're giving them more free money to invest 317 00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.039 in these electric vehicles. You're trying to push that into 318 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.200 the market. And that's where President Trump, I think, has 319 00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.600 it exactly right, Like let the market, with the market 320 00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:28.039 dictate it. 321 00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:30.600 Yeah, so you know that's exactly it. How many people 322 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.279 do you know that own an electric car is their 323 00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.679 primary vehicle. I'm sure there are some out there, but 324 00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:37.440 most people it's a secondary vehicle. If you live in 325 00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:40.639 Weld County, it's surely not your primary vehicle because it's 326 00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.200 a four thousand square mile county. Good luck. It just 327 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:46.960 doesn't make sense, and in the Western United States it 328 00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:49.320 really doesn't make sense. And quite frankly, I just I 329 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:51.039 don't want to help my neighbor buy a car. You know, 330 00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:53.159 I don't mind helping my kid buy a car, but 331 00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:55.840 I don't want my tax dollars going to things that 332 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:58.759 are just ridiculous. Let the market dictate it. And I 333 00:16:58.759 --> 00:17:02.000 don't know if that's what's driving the hatred between Elon 334 00:17:02.120 --> 00:17:06.440 Musk and Donald Trump. But regardless, I'm sure y'all have 335 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:09.119 thoughts about all of this. Maybe I'm I'm the one 336 00:17:09.160 --> 00:17:11.839 that's all wet. If you want to make a comment 337 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:14.559 about it, you can text in five seven seven three nine, 338 00:17:14.599 --> 00:17:16.680 start your text with Dan, or you can call in 339 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.839 it three oh three seven one three eight two five five. Again, 340 00:17:19.880 --> 00:17:22.000 I'd love to dice it up with you a little bit, 341 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:25.319 but maybe not call in just right away, because we're 342 00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.039 about to have a Governor's Canada and we're gonna have 343 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:29.119 Robert Moore. I don't know much about him, but we're 344 00:17:29.160 --> 00:17:32.440 gonna find out everything we need to know and more. Uh, 345 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:34.920 get the play on words there when we come back 346 00:17:34.920 --> 00:17:37.319 from break. You're listening to Dan Capleas Show here with 347 00:17:37.559 --> 00:17:40.279 Weld County Sheriff Steve Raims as your guest host on 348 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.200 six point thirty k how. 349 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.279 You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast. 350 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:02.240 Dankfa Show here with well kind of shriff Steve Raims 351 00:18:02.240 --> 00:18:04.759 as your guest host, and we'll get right to this. 352 00:18:05.119 --> 00:18:08.160 We've got another candidate for governor up. You know, we've 353 00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:09.680 tried to serve up as many as we could. I 354 00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:12.799 think Robert will be our tenth candidate to have as 355 00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:15.880 I've been substituting in for Dan. That leaves us with 356 00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:18.200 I think four or five more to go if they 357 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:20.960 ever decide to come on, but with us at this 358 00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:24.079 time as candidate for Colorado governor on the Republican side 359 00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:26.160 of the aisle. Robert Moore, Robert, how are you doing. 360 00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:30.079 I'm good and thanks so much for having me. I 361 00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.160 appreciate the time, you bet. Thanks to your listeners for 362 00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.359 taking part of their valuable time to listen to us. 363 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.000 You bet so, Robert, if you would, you know, I've 364 00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.960 googled you. I've tried to do a little bit of research, 365 00:18:42.319 --> 00:18:44.519 but it's probably better for you to just tell the 366 00:18:44.559 --> 00:18:47.599 listeners what your background is and kind of where you 367 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:49.880 come from and what made you decide you're going to 368 00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:54.240 throw your hat in this crazy race for Colorado governor. 369 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.440 Yeah, well it certainly is crazy. And thanks thanks for 370 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:00.599 that question. And we've got a lot of candidates and 371 00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:03.720 before we started that get into that maybe I can 372 00:19:03.799 --> 00:19:06.279 just say, you know, a hearts and thoughts and prayers 373 00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.200 go out to those folks that are down there in 374 00:19:08.279 --> 00:19:11.000 Central Texas with all the flooding, because that's been really tragic. 375 00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:13.400 I've been watching that like many of you have on 376 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.200 the national news with the loss of life. So yeah, 377 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.480 our sympathy and empathy with them for sure. For me, 378 00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:22.000 I was born and raised in Colorado here, so I'm 379 00:19:22.079 --> 00:19:24.880 quite proud of the state of Colorado. I graduated from 380 00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:28.480 high school actually right here in Lakewood. My father was 381 00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:31.880 in business, also state representative. My mother was a nurse 382 00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:37.279 at the Denver Health Hospital. After graduation from high school, 383 00:19:37.319 --> 00:19:39.839 I was accepted to the Military Academy, West Point and 384 00:19:39.880 --> 00:19:42.880 I earned my bachelor's degree there in physics, and then 385 00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:45.839 was commissioned. Of course, as a result of that, and 386 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.480 I was commissioned in the Army corp of Engineers. While 387 00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:52.039 I was in the Army, earned professional engineering license that 388 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.480 came in handy later as I was helping design the 389 00:19:55.759 --> 00:20:00.319 rebuilding the infrastructure both in Iraq and Afghanistan. Did the 390 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:02.880 Army then transition to the inactive reserve so I could 391 00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.640 get into the private sector. I went to work and 392 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:08.160 helped build a small startup company, got in on the 393 00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.759 ground floor. Company was called Compact Computer at that time, 394 00:20:12.160 --> 00:20:16.039 which was purchased by Hewley Packard in about two thousand 395 00:20:16.039 --> 00:20:19.799 and one. So that was pretty enjoyable and exciting about 396 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:22.400 that time. Then I was wanting to go to graduate school. 397 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.519 Was accepted Yale, and actually ended up going to your 398 00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:30.440 University of a Michigan for a master's degree in business 399 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:34.039 through their executive program, so I could keep working at HP. 400 00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.440 After HP spun off, the Printed division became HPE. I 401 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:42.079
