6
00:00:15.119 --> 00:00:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Hello everyone, this is Heidigan All filling in for Dan

7
00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:20.519
<v Speaker 2>Caplis this lovely Wednesday night.

8
00:00:20.559 --> 00:00:21.719
<v Speaker 3>It's hot out there.

9
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.800
<v Speaker 2>It's what one hundred degrees today, pretty toasty, but beautiful,

10
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:30.199
<v Speaker 2>beautiful Colorado summer day. One of the things that I

11
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:33.719
<v Speaker 2>noticed when I was traveling abroad was like, the climate

12
00:00:33.759 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 2>here in Colorado is just different.

13
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.439
<v Speaker 3>There's not a lot of humidity.

14
00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:39.000
<v Speaker 2>But no matter how hot it is, it's still pretty

15
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 2>nice out But one of the things that it affords

16
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.560
<v Speaker 2>us to do is really enjoy our outdoors. And tomorrow

17
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm actually getting on an airplane again to go to Washington,

18
00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:51.079
<v Speaker 2>DC for a board meeting. I'm on the board of

19
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 2>the American Conservation Coalition. It's called ACC and it is

20
00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:01.119
<v Speaker 2>a really cool organization that helped President Trump put together

21
00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.000
<v Speaker 2>a really neat executive order called Make America Beautiful Again.

22
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 3>And why is this important?

23
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, this is important because one of the things that

24
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:12.640
<v Speaker 2>Colorado young people care most about is our environment.

25
00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.200
<v Speaker 3>They want clean land, clean air, clean water, and.

26
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Yes, they care about climate change, even conservative young people.

27
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.719
<v Speaker 2>And the Make America Beautiful Act is President Trump's way

28
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.959
<v Speaker 2>of supporting the idea that we are actually the.

29
00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 3>Party of conservation.

30
00:01:30.159 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 2>We're the party of Teddy Roosevelt, the original conservation guy,

31
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 2>and we have great ideas on how to make our air, water,

32
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.040
<v Speaker 2>and land cleaner and better protected. And it's not just

33
00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.200
<v Speaker 2>all about climate change. It's about making sure that we

34
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 2>support the people who make a living off the land,

35
00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>the ranchers, the farmers, the great people across the state

36
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:56.560
<v Speaker 2>of Colorado that have been here for generations and generations,

37
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.239
<v Speaker 2>and making sure that they are part of the conversation

38
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:03.159
<v Speaker 2>which absolutely has not been happening in Colorado, as evidenced

39
00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:06.480
<v Speaker 2>by the whole wolves conversation and that debacle that's been

40
00:02:06.519 --> 00:02:09.240
<v Speaker 2>the role out of introducing wolves back into our state.

41
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:13.319
<v Speaker 2>So I'm going to meet with the fellow board members.

42
00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 2>Corey Gardner's very involved in this group, so is Chris Wright,

43
00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:20.120
<v Speaker 2>who's now our energy secretary. They've got over eighty thousand

44
00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:25.120
<v Speaker 2>members across the country at college campuses across the United States,

45
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 2>that are involved in ACC, young people that care deeply

46
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 2>about this and are taking the conversation back from the

47
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:34.120
<v Speaker 2>left about who really cares about the environment.

48
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think all young people care about the environment.

49
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 2>But I think we have better solutions and all of

50
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:42.599
<v Speaker 2>the above energy approach, using nuclear energy where we can,

51
00:02:43.159 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 2>and making sure that there's reasonable approaches to conservation of land,

52
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:53.280
<v Speaker 2>working with our ranchers, our farmers, the folks on the

53
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:56.000
<v Speaker 2>ground that have been here for generations and generations. So

54
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.439
<v Speaker 2>I think this has to be a really big part

55
00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.759
<v Speaker 2>of our strategy. Ward's communicating with young conservatives in Colorado,

56
00:03:02.759 --> 00:03:06.439
<v Speaker 2>with young people in general on college campuses too, So

57
00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:08.479
<v Speaker 2>I would encourage all of you to go check out

58
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 2>the website ACC dot eco. I also just wrote an

59
00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:17.120
<v Speaker 2>article in Rocky Mountain Voice about MABA make America Beautiful Again,

60
00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>And you can learn a lot more about this movement

61
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.759
<v Speaker 2>by finding that article on R and V Rocky Mountain

62
00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.199
<v Speaker 2>Voice dot com. It's I think you just search MABA

63
00:03:27.479 --> 00:03:29.439
<v Speaker 2>or look in the last couple of days it came out,

64
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:30.759
<v Speaker 2>or look on my social media.

65
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:32.599
<v Speaker 3>But it's really really.

66
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Important to meet young people where they are and this

67
00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:38.400
<v Speaker 2>is an issue they care deeply about and you know, Ryan,

68
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:40.879
<v Speaker 2>I think it's part of this whole approach to bringing

69
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 2>young people into the party.

70
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:42.919
<v Speaker 3>We've got to meet.

71
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 2>Them where they are on issues that they care about.

72
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>And I think this is a really important one in

73
00:03:47.319 --> 00:03:50.439
<v Speaker 2>Colorado as we enjoy this beautiful state in this beautiful summer.

74
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:53.319
<v Speaker 2>I think it's got to be a conversation that we

75
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.879
<v Speaker 2>take back from the left.

76
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:56.240
<v Speaker 3>What are your thoughts on that?

77
00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 4>I mean, there's got to be a way, right.

78
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I think we made headway, and there's just

79
00:04:02.120 --> 00:04:04.319
<v Speaker 5>such a there's so much ground to be made up.

80
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 5>And I thought the campaign that you ran against Jared

81
00:04:07.639 --> 00:04:10.639
<v Speaker 5>Polis was as well as any individual could ron, especially

82
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.039
<v Speaker 5>against someone of his means.

83
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.560
<v Speaker 4>That was always like, you know.

84
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.959
<v Speaker 5>The big obstacle was that he was independently wealthy and

85
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 5>could spend his own money on his campaign. And that's

86
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 5>an observation that Dan made many times. But are there

87
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:25.079
<v Speaker 5>vulnerable candidates? I mean, you can't sit there and tell

88
00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 5>me that Michael Bennett is some kind of invincible force.

89
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:33.079
<v Speaker 5>You know, even Kyle Clark, comrade Kyle, our good friend,

90
00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.759
<v Speaker 5>calls him a cicada because he only comes around every

91
00:04:35.800 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 5>thirteen years to be heard or seen. And that's a

92
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.120
<v Speaker 5>derisive comment in and of itself from a media member

93
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.600
<v Speaker 5>of the left. And he has to me the favorite

94
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.439
<v Speaker 5>because Phil none the Wiser is exactly that refuses.

95
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 3>To run the Wiser. I have not heard that before.

96
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 3>That's hilarious.

97
00:04:50.519 --> 00:04:53.399
<v Speaker 5>Dan claims it was in existence like long before I

98
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:54.160
<v Speaker 5>coined it.

99
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.160
<v Speaker 4>That's false, that's fake news. But what Phil didn't do

100
00:04:58.759 --> 00:04:59.399
<v Speaker 4>was step up.

101
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 5>And let's just I'm just objectively offering a Nichols worth

102
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:05.560
<v Speaker 5>of free advice to Phil Wiser on his campaign if

103
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.600
<v Speaker 5>he's going to run head to head against Bennett, who

104
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:11.120
<v Speaker 5>has better name recognition, certainly nationally. And Michael Bennett comes

105
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.399
<v Speaker 5>out and says, well, I'm gonna hold onto my Senate seat,

106
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:15.720
<v Speaker 5>you know, till I'm governor that I could pick my successor.

107
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.519
<v Speaker 4>He's like, no, no, no, bro, you're gonna run.

108
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:20.720
<v Speaker 5>Then you leave the Senate seat behind and then Jared

109
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.399
<v Speaker 5>Paulus fills it and then you focus on the governor's race.

110
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:24.839
<v Speaker 5>But he doesn't want to do that. Once that was

111
00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:27.040
<v Speaker 5>cake and eat it too. Wiser should have went all

112
00:05:27.040 --> 00:05:30.160
<v Speaker 5>in on that crickets. So you know, got to figure

113
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:31.040
<v Speaker 5>that Bennett's the favorite.

114
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:32.360
<v Speaker 3>I guess yeah, I agree.

115
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.079
<v Speaker 2>But have you heard and speaking of the environment, talking

116
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 2>about Colorado and conservation, that Ken Salazar is going to

117
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:42.160
<v Speaker 2>jump in? Who was the previous Department of Interior secretary

118
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:43.160
<v Speaker 2>correct under Obama?

119
00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:45.399
<v Speaker 4>Okay, all right, that's a pretty big name.

120
00:05:45.639 --> 00:05:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I've heard rumblings about that. Nothing yet, but I

121
00:05:49.759 --> 00:05:52.519
<v Speaker 2>hear things they're teeing up for him to.

122
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:55.040
<v Speaker 3>Take on Michael Bennett and Phil Wiser. Where do you

123
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.240
<v Speaker 3>think that would bring to the race.

124
00:05:56.720 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 5>I think that could be a game changer in triangulating

125
00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.279
<v Speaker 5>not only the party and the voters within the Democratic Party.

126
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 5>He would participate in the primary, But where does the

127
00:06:06.199 --> 00:06:08.279
<v Speaker 5>money go? Where do the donors go? Are they automatically

128
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.000
<v Speaker 5>going to line up behind Bennett or sell Us?

129
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:10.959
<v Speaker 4>Are you knows.

130
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.199
<v Speaker 5>Well connected in Colorado politics himself? Might he drain some

131
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 5>of that support away from Bennett and make it an

132
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.560
<v Speaker 5>actual race? Because I don't see if it's head to

133
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.920
<v Speaker 5>head basically essentially, what it boils down to Bennett versus

134
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:23.319
<v Speaker 5>Wise or the field stands a chance?

135
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 4>But Salas, are you know now you got three in

136
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.839
<v Speaker 4>the race that could change the dynamic a little bit.

137
00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:31.279
<v Speaker 2>I think well, I mean I think back to our

138
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:33.800
<v Speaker 2>conversation about who's running on the conservative side. I have

139
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.600
<v Speaker 2>heard and today Colorada Times a Quarter, which I don't

140
00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:40.519
<v Speaker 2>think of as media, they're a Democrat propaganda site, but

141
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.120
<v Speaker 2>they researched and found that Barb Kirkmeyer had registered Kirkmeyer

142
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:44.600
<v Speaker 2>for governor.

143
00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 3>And I've heard that she's going to jump in, or

144
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:49.040
<v Speaker 3>she was looking at some polling, but I don't know what.

145
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.199
<v Speaker 2>If she's looking at polling that says that, wow, we

146
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:55.560
<v Speaker 2>have a great shot at pulling this off, like I don't.

147
00:06:56.040 --> 00:06:57.480
<v Speaker 3>I haven't seen that anywhere.

148
00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 2>So I think Barb a great state senator. I think

149
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.519
<v Speaker 2>we've got sixteen people already running. I've heard Bobby Daniel

150
00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:07.399
<v Speaker 2>from the Western Slope is going to jump in.

151
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:09.480
<v Speaker 3>We'd love to have some more ladies in the race.

152
00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.399
<v Speaker 2>But this is all going to come down to money,

153
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:18.199
<v Speaker 2>Monney money. I can't and I wish I hadn't learned

154
00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:20.399
<v Speaker 2>this lesson the hard way, But I learned that I

155
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:22.759
<v Speaker 2>was naive enough to think I could outwork the money

156
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.560
<v Speaker 2>thirty three million dollars worth compared to our four or

157
00:07:26.560 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>five million dollars.

158
00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.399
<v Speaker 3>But the candidates that I've been talking to, I asked.

159
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.439
<v Speaker 2>Them that question, where are you getting the money to

160
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:35.319
<v Speaker 2>do this, How are you going to outraise the other

161
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.279
<v Speaker 2>people to win the primary or to win the general.

162
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I haven't heard any good answers to that question. So

163
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 2>that's my biggest worry on the Republican side is that

164
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 2>people are thinking that they can outwork the money, and

165
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:48.959
<v Speaker 2>I learned that lesson the hard way. It doesn't work

166
00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 2>that way. You got to at least stay even with them.

167
00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 2>What are your thoughts on that. Have you seen anything

168
00:07:55.399 --> 00:07:57.360
<v Speaker 2>or heard anything that we should feel.

169
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:57.920
<v Speaker 3>Differently about that?

170
00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:58.319
<v Speaker 4>Well?

171
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.519
<v Speaker 5>I think the blueprint would be similar to the national scene,

172
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 5>and how do Republicans rest back power? We did so

173
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:07.800
<v Speaker 5>with an independently wealthy billionaire in the form of Donald Trump.

174
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:10.160
<v Speaker 4>Even before that, either.

175
00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:14.319
<v Speaker 5>Bush, Herbert Walker, Bush, or w that's a wealthy family

176
00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:17.120
<v Speaker 5>that was able to kind of use that as a

177
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:20.759
<v Speaker 5>culgel in politics. We haven't seen really that voice on

178
00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:24.480
<v Speaker 5>our side of the aisle break through in any meaningful way.

179
00:08:24.519 --> 00:08:26.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to think of a state level race too,

180
00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:29.120
<v Speaker 5>not just hear in Colorado, but nationwide where maybe a

181
00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:33.320
<v Speaker 5>populist voice that wasn't wealthy was able to overcome that

182
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.120
<v Speaker 5>enormous obstacle. That is just kind of the unspoken rule

183
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.759
<v Speaker 5>in politics now, which is where the dollars go the

184
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:45.240
<v Speaker 5>w's And I see that as being, like to your point,

185
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 5>in your race, an insurmountable obstacles. So how do we

186
00:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.480
<v Speaker 5>overcome that here in Colorado when the resources are already kind

187
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.679
<v Speaker 5>of stacked against us as an advantage for Democrats?

188
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:57.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I agree, and I don't have an answer to that.

189
00:08:57.759 --> 00:09:00.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm pretty in tune with all the donors in Colorado

190
00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:05.720
<v Speaker 2>a nationwide now, and I understand their concerns that we just.

191
00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:08.080
<v Speaker 3>Don't see it. We don't see a path forward here.

192
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:10.519
<v Speaker 2>We're rebuilding that, we're doing everything we can to put

193
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 2>the infrastructure in place to make that happen. And I

194
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.960
<v Speaker 2>want to be optimistic, and we need good candidates running,

195
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.159
<v Speaker 2>but they've got to make fundraising a huge priority.

196
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:22.240
<v Speaker 3>And they've also been quiet on the issue of.

197
00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Election integrity, which is shocking to me because a lot

198
00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 2>of the people running for governor have been very loud

199
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 2>and vocal about, oh, the elections are stolen, like we

200
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:32.879
<v Speaker 2>don't feel comfortable, like our vote matters, and yet they're

201
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.759
<v Speaker 2>not talking about what's going to change to get them elected,

202
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.320
<v Speaker 2>like what's going to happen what work are they doing

203
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.840
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that our vote is counted fairly and

204
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.480
<v Speaker 2>that the elections are like on the up and up.

205
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't hear anybody talking about that.

206
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.519
<v Speaker 5>And it's another thing too to overcome the inherent media

207
00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:55.759
<v Speaker 5>coverage obstacle in this state in particular as well, and

208
00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:56.840
<v Speaker 5>you see it in the form.

209
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:58.519
<v Speaker 4>I think a good.

210
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.440
<v Speaker 5>Example of how our party was able to get a

211
00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:03.919
<v Speaker 5>very significant win was in the eighth congressional district with

212
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:06.440
<v Speaker 5>Gabe Evans against Yudira Caravel. And there were a lot

213
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:08.720
<v Speaker 5>of negative ads as you might recall from the Democratic

214
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.120
<v Speaker 5>Party against Gabe late in that race, and yet he was.

215
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:13.519
<v Speaker 4>Still able to pull out a victory.

216
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:16.840
<v Speaker 5>I think he might lend himself to being able to

217
00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:20.000
<v Speaker 5>show that roadmap or provide that guidance for somebody to

218
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:22.919
<v Speaker 5>based on his message, which he was very good at delivering,

219
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.840
<v Speaker 5>the debate performance that he had against you Deira Caravale,

220
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:28.360
<v Speaker 5>which I thought was a total mismatch, and winning a

221
00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:31.519
<v Speaker 5>seat that was narrowly lost before by the aforementioned Barb Kirkmeyer.

222
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.759
<v Speaker 5>So I think there's an element of strategy that could

223
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.320
<v Speaker 5>be involved here that could be winning. But we're talking

224
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:38.720
<v Speaker 5>about state wide races, and that's a totally different ballgame,

225
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:39.080
<v Speaker 5>as you know.

226
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and he.

227
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Had the NRCC behind him right like they wanted to

228
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 2>play nationally in that race, and same in CD three,

229
00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:48.080
<v Speaker 2>And that makes a huge difference. If you don't have

230
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.720
<v Speaker 2>the RNC or the RGA which is the Governor Association,

231
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.360
<v Speaker 2>or the NRSC which is the Senate which I don't

232
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.799
<v Speaker 2>think the Senate National Senate Committee's going to put any

233
00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:59.240
<v Speaker 2>money into the national in the Senate race here.

234
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:00.639
<v Speaker 3>Then that's a big issue.

235
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:03.360
<v Speaker 2>That's ten twenty thirty million dollars that you're missing, and

236
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:06.840
<v Speaker 2>the campaign finance laws make it incredibly difficult to compete

237
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:10.240
<v Speaker 2>with that without a pack or outside dark money to

238
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 2>make that happen. So I think we've got our candidates

239
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 2>need to start talking about how they're going to raise

240
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:18.559
<v Speaker 2>the money to be competitive, how they're going to deal

241
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.600
<v Speaker 2>with election integrity, how they're going to deal with the

242
00:11:20.600 --> 00:11:22.679
<v Speaker 2>liberal media, Like how are they going to get their

243
00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 2>message out? They're not calling Rocky Mountain Voice and saying, hey,

244
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.519
<v Speaker 2>we need to help, we need to get you guys,

245
00:11:27.559 --> 00:11:30.159
<v Speaker 2>you know, reaching out to a million people, not just

246
00:11:30.200 --> 00:11:35.399
<v Speaker 2>two hundred thousand, you know, I just it's a little discouraging,

247
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.799
<v Speaker 2>and I would say that the candidates who do come

248
00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.120
<v Speaker 2>out of the gate and can talk about solutions for

249
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.840
<v Speaker 2>those problems are going to have a better shot at

250
00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:47.519
<v Speaker 2>winning the primary. But we've got a lot more to

251
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 2>talk about on this front, Ryan, I know, I want

252
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:51.879
<v Speaker 2>to pick your brain on some other things around the

253
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.799
<v Speaker 2>upcoming elections. So this is iiding and all filling in

254
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:56.519
<v Speaker 2>for Dan Kaplis. We'll be back in just a few

255
00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.559
<v Speaker 2>minutes to continue the conversation.

256
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.480
<v Speaker 4>And now back to the Dan Kapliss Show podcast.

257
00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:06.159
<v Speaker 6>Sebastian is not the only one who's sick and tired

258
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.080
<v Speaker 6>of taking off your shoes at the airport and seeing

259
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:12.600
<v Speaker 6>other people's feet. What are we talking about here? We'll

260
00:12:12.679 --> 00:12:15.679
<v Speaker 6>get this, going through airport security.

261
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:16.519
<v Speaker 4>Is too much of a hassle.

262
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:20.519
<v Speaker 6>Fifty nine percent fifty nine percent a flyer say it

263
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.960
<v Speaker 6>is too much of a hassle. And amongst those who

264
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 6>haven't signed up for TSA prechecks, such as myself, we're

265
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:29.919
<v Speaker 6>talking over sixty percent of those flyers say going through

266
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:32.799
<v Speaker 6>airport security is too much of a hassle. But it's

267
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.200
<v Speaker 6>not just that it's a hassle to take off your shoes.

268
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:38.679
<v Speaker 6>It's also that Americans didn't think it was actually doing anything.

269
00:12:38.720 --> 00:12:41.279
<v Speaker 6>What are we talking about here, taking off shoes at

270
00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:42.240
<v Speaker 6>airport security?

271
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:44.120
<v Speaker 4>Very effective security measure?

272
00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:47.399
<v Speaker 6>Only twenty six percent of Americans said it was a

273
00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 6>very effective security measure. And get this, They asked Americans

274
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:56.000
<v Speaker 6>to rate seven different ways in which the airport was

275
00:12:56.039 --> 00:12:59.960
<v Speaker 6>trying to ensure security. Guess we're taking off your shoes

276
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.840
<v Speaker 6>r In terms of those seven different ways, it ranked

277
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.360
<v Speaker 6>seventh out of seventh when it came to very effective

278
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.720
<v Speaker 6>security measures. Of course, there is a whole question of

279
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.000
<v Speaker 6>whether or not this will impact whether folks like myself

280
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:16.360
<v Speaker 6>actually sign up for TSA PreCheck. And indeed, when we're

281
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:19.840
<v Speaker 6>talking about Department of Homeland Security Trusted Traveler programs for

282
00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:25.080
<v Speaker 6>expedited screening, including TSA PreCheck, get this, over forty million

283
00:13:25.399 --> 00:13:29.159
<v Speaker 6>Americans are signed up for it. Will folks actually stay

284
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:31.480
<v Speaker 6>signed up now that you don't have to take your

285
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 6>shoes off anymore? Well, maybe so, because keep in mind,

286
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.600
<v Speaker 6>you're still going to have to take off your jacket

287
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:41.320
<v Speaker 6>if you're not signed up for a DHS Trusted Traveler program.

288
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:42.480
<v Speaker 4>So I guess the.

289
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:46.120
<v Speaker 6>Question is, is taking off your shoes really that much to

290
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:47.279
<v Speaker 6>go back? To the old ways.

291
00:13:47.799 --> 00:13:51.600
<v Speaker 2>I guess, oh, Ryan, this is such a pet peeve

292
00:13:51.639 --> 00:13:52.039
<v Speaker 2>of mine.

293
00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:54.000
<v Speaker 4>Mask flying, I was just flying.

294
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:57.600
<v Speaker 3>I'm in a flagon tomorrow, and it's just it's like

295
00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.720
<v Speaker 3>the silliest I mean, I get why they did it.

296
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:04.039
<v Speaker 2>They were but I read a really funny post or

297
00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:08.360
<v Speaker 2>somebody said the man who unsuccessfully tried to do the

298
00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:14.200
<v Speaker 2>shoe bomb thing irritated, annoyed, and just destroyed people, more

299
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.200
<v Speaker 2>people in the world than any other human being on

300
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:19.879
<v Speaker 2>the planet. Like he's the most annoying person on the planet.

301
00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>For the last twenty years, he's made everybody take off

302
00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:22.279
<v Speaker 2>their shoes.

303
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:24.240
<v Speaker 5>Well you remember who that was. No, his name was

304
00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:26.600
<v Speaker 5>Richard Reid, and I think it was a flight either

305
00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:28.960
<v Speaker 5>two or from France. And do you know where he's

306
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:32.360
<v Speaker 5>currently serving his time, No, Florence Supermax.

307
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.639
<v Speaker 4>Right here in Colorado. Yeah, seriously, true story.

308
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:38.000
<v Speaker 3>He needs to be in jail for making all of

309
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.240
<v Speaker 3>us do that for twenty years. That was ridiculous.

310
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.039
<v Speaker 5>Should be slapped across the face with a shoe every day,

311
00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.559
<v Speaker 5>because yeah, that was his action. It happened right around

312
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.360
<v Speaker 5>the same time as nine to eleven. I mean, we're

313
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:51.320
<v Speaker 5>going back almost twenty five years now. And that's when

314
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.919
<v Speaker 5>we had to start taking off our shoes. I remember distinctly, Heidi,

315
00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 5>the only marathon I've ever completed was July two thousand

316
00:14:59.679 --> 00:15:02.759
<v Speaker 5>and one, right before nine to eleven, like not even

317
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 5>two full months before nine to eleven, and I flew

318
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 5>to San Diego, and I remember distinctly just getting on

319
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:11.759
<v Speaker 5>the plane. Now there's security, but you know, just kind

320
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:13.559
<v Speaker 5>of walk on through. You get on the plane, you

321
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.039
<v Speaker 5>get off the plane. That was the last time I ever.

322
00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:16.399
<v Speaker 4>Flew like that.

323
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Ah, it's just it's so it's such a process now

324
00:15:21.440 --> 00:15:25.159
<v Speaker 2>to fly. And the parking at DA is so bad.

325
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 2>You literally have to park in far reaches of Aurara.

326
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.720
<v Speaker 4>Get to the air Do you have tsa pre check?

327
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:34.519
<v Speaker 3>I do, and I have clear I have everything. Wow,

328
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:35.480
<v Speaker 3>it doesn't help.

329
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:36.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, wait a minute.

330
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.559
<v Speaker 5>I'll give DIA some credit because we know they get

331
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:42.879
<v Speaker 5>a lot of criticism. And I heard Mike Johnston, the mayor,

332
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:45.440
<v Speaker 5>you know how his voice is on the shuttle and

333
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:49.320
<v Speaker 5>you're going there, we're now the fifth most busy airport

334
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:49.919
<v Speaker 5>in the world.

335
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:50.840
<v Speaker 4>Like that's not great.

336
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:54.279
<v Speaker 5>He leaves it hanging, goes can you name the top four?

337
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:55.960
<v Speaker 5>And he never gives the answer. It's like, well, wait

338
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:59.240
<v Speaker 5>a minute, what was the answer, Mayor Mike. But I

339
00:15:59.279 --> 00:16:02.440
<v Speaker 5>do like the did some reconstruction on the line for

340
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.799
<v Speaker 5>TSA pre check and clear and how you go in,

341
00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:08.759
<v Speaker 5>and it's pretty streamlined and it's pretty quick, and I

342
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:09.759
<v Speaker 5>do appreciate that.

343
00:16:10.039 --> 00:16:12.279
<v Speaker 4>If you say so, I think so.

344
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.399
<v Speaker 5>I mean better than it was because remember you go

345
00:16:15.440 --> 00:16:16.879
<v Speaker 5>through the rat maze.

346
00:16:16.639 --> 00:16:19.720
<v Speaker 4>And everybody else. That's true, it's totally separate entrance.

347
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:21.919
<v Speaker 5>Now for those of us that and it's that what

348
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:24.399
<v Speaker 5>is a fifty bucks You pay that in advance, you

349
00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:27.399
<v Speaker 5>get a security clearance check for TSA pre for five years.

350
00:16:27.639 --> 00:16:29.799
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you actually have to go to the airport and

351
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:32.440
<v Speaker 2>interview and you have a certain time slot. If you

352
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:34.840
<v Speaker 2>don't show up, it takes another five months to get in.

353
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.919
<v Speaker 2>It's it's pretty hardcore to get that. But and clear

354
00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:42.080
<v Speaker 2>you pay I think it's what one nine year But

355
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.480
<v Speaker 2>I travel all the time, so it's it's.

356
00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.000
<v Speaker 4>Worth it for me.

357
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.120
<v Speaker 3>But here's the thing. This goes to a bigger issue.

358
00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:50.519
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you saw.

359
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:54.200
<v Speaker 2>One of the most important Supreme Court decisions I don't

360
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:56.440
<v Speaker 2>know in my lifetime, was made a couple of days ago,

361
00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't talked a lot about in the press,

362
00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:03.120
<v Speaker 2>but it goes to bureaucracy, goes to TSA and government employees.

363
00:17:03.720 --> 00:17:09.519
<v Speaker 2>It actually allows Trump administration, the Trump administration to downsize

364
00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:12.400
<v Speaker 2>these agencies and actually lay people.

365
00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:14.119
<v Speaker 3>Off, which has been a huge issue.

366
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.359
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that I talked to Will Traigman,

367
00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:18.839
<v Speaker 2>a friend of mine who runs Mountain States Legal Foundation.

368
00:17:18.920 --> 00:17:19.680
<v Speaker 3>He's a great guy.

369
00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:23.160
<v Speaker 2>He worked for the Office of Civil Rights under Betsy Devas,

370
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:25.640
<v Speaker 2>and he said, there's this thing called burrowing in and

371
00:17:26.079 --> 00:17:28.920
<v Speaker 2>you may have heard this, where they the presidents or

372
00:17:28.960 --> 00:17:32.799
<v Speaker 2>the staff, hire all these people and it's almost impossible

373
00:17:32.920 --> 00:17:35.359
<v Speaker 2>to fire them or get rid of them. And so

374
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:38.359
<v Speaker 2>every new administration that comes in has to make a decision,

375
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:42.480
<v Speaker 2>especially if they're conservative. They can't downsize because then they're

376
00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:45.279
<v Speaker 2>outnumbered because they can't lay people off, and then they

377
00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:47.559
<v Speaker 2>end up in lawsuits anyway. So they have to add

378
00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:50.440
<v Speaker 2>more people so that they're not outnumbered, which just grows

379
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.759
<v Speaker 2>it and grows it and grows it. So the Supreme

380
00:17:52.759 --> 00:17:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Court actually said a couple days ago that they can

381
00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:00.880
<v Speaker 2>downsize these agencies. It's going to be magic. It's beautiful.

382
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:01.839
<v Speaker 2>It's a beautiful thing.

383
00:18:02.160 --> 00:18:03.759
<v Speaker 3>Super excited to see that happen.

384
00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:06.200
<v Speaker 2>This is Hidi gan All filling in for Dan Caplis

385
00:18:06.200 --> 00:18:10.920
<v Speaker 2>with my friend Ryan Schulling. We'll be back after the break.

386
00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:30.400
<v Speaker 4>You're listening to the Dankplis Show podcast.

387
00:18:31.160 --> 00:18:32.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh hello, it's.

388
00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:35.160
<v Speaker 2>Heidi Ganol filling in for Dan Caplis here with my

389
00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:36.039
<v Speaker 2>friend Ryan.

390
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:36.680
<v Speaker 4>Hello.

391
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.839
<v Speaker 2>Ryan, I got some good text messages with tips I'm

392
00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:43.240
<v Speaker 2>parking at DIA while we were on break. So this

393
00:18:43.279 --> 00:18:45.519
<v Speaker 2>one says, Hi, do you use fine f I n

394
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:47.759
<v Speaker 2>E parking at da seamless?

395
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:48.519
<v Speaker 4>Never heard of it?

396
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:50.319
<v Speaker 3>I haven't either, but I'm gonna look it up.

397
00:18:50.440 --> 00:18:54.200
<v Speaker 2>And then this texture says, I don't recommend parking at

398
00:18:54.200 --> 00:18:57.720
<v Speaker 2>the airport, too many incidents of stolen cars and catalytic converters.

399
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:00.720
<v Speaker 2>But if you do park, I like Wally park, reserve

400
00:19:00.799 --> 00:19:02.279
<v Speaker 2>your spot ahead of time.

401
00:19:02.480 --> 00:19:03.799
<v Speaker 3>That's asking a lot from me.

402
00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:05.519
<v Speaker 4>You know where that text came from.

403
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:11.480
<v Speaker 5>No five feet to my left, No of Alexa, beautiful Alexa.

404
00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:14.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but Alexa like everywhere.

405
00:19:14.559 --> 00:19:17.559
<v Speaker 3>I'm so bad at planning ahead of time for this stuff,

406
00:19:18.799 --> 00:19:21.160
<v Speaker 3>even the day of. Is there an app or what

407
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:21.519
<v Speaker 3>do you do?

408
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:21.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah?

409
00:19:22.400 --> 00:19:22.720
<v Speaker 2>I have?

410
00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:25.480
<v Speaker 7>I think my husband's use that app. Okay, think there

411
00:19:25.559 --> 00:19:27.960
<v Speaker 7>is an app, but very easy. You tell them what

412
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.720
<v Speaker 7>time your flight leaves and what time you land, and

413
00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:33.559
<v Speaker 7>you just call them when you land and they're there.

414
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:37.720
<v Speaker 3>So all right, well that's good news. That's good news.

415
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.440
<v Speaker 3>I will try it.

416
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.160
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm gonna uber tomorrow, but or actually just

417
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:42.799
<v Speaker 2>take a car since I'm gonna be on like a

418
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:47.319
<v Speaker 2>couple of days. But I there's another article in Rocky

419
00:19:47.359 --> 00:19:49.519
<v Speaker 2>Mountain Boye. I want to bring everyone's attention. And like

420
00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:51.440
<v Speaker 2>I said, I've been gone so I haven't paid close

421
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:53.640
<v Speaker 2>attention to what's going on here, but maybe you have.

422
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:57.000
<v Speaker 2>Ryan Paulo's just called for a special session in August

423
00:19:57.039 --> 00:20:00.319
<v Speaker 2>because Trump's budget bombshell blew a one billion dollar hole

424
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:01.799
<v Speaker 2>in Colorado's finances.

425
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:02.119
<v Speaker 4>Good.

426
00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:05.680
<v Speaker 2>Now, when I dug into this, here's what's really going on.

427
00:20:05.720 --> 00:20:08.839
<v Speaker 2>They're blaming it on the bill. But what actually is

428
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:12.240
<v Speaker 2>going on is that they're requiring through the bill for

429
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:15.880
<v Speaker 2>people to work, if they're able bodied, to get Medicaid benefits.

430
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:16.160
<v Speaker 4>Right.

431
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:19.400
<v Speaker 2>So I don't think that's asking too much. No, I

432
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:21.759
<v Speaker 2>don't think most Americans think that's asking for too much.

433
00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:23.960
<v Speaker 2>But the other thing is they're asking for the states

434
00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:28.279
<v Speaker 2>to make sure that people are eligible for Medicaid benefits

435
00:20:28.440 --> 00:20:31.519
<v Speaker 2>twice a year before we pay out big sums of

436
00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:34.920
<v Speaker 2>money to help, you know, cover them and make sure

437
00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:39.200
<v Speaker 2>that they're not illegally here. And the other reason that

438
00:20:39.279 --> 00:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>Colorado is going to be in such a hole is

439
00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:43.640
<v Speaker 2>let me pull this up because I want to. I

440
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:45.759
<v Speaker 2>don't want to mess this up, right, But.

441
00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:48.400
<v Speaker 3>The bill cuts.

442
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:51.240
<v Speaker 2>From ninety percent to a much lower percentage the portion

443
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:54.599
<v Speaker 2>of costs the federal government will pay for emergency only

444
00:20:54.720 --> 00:21:01.240
<v Speaker 2>Medicaid services for otherwise ineligible non citizens. Oh so they're

445
00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:03.119
<v Speaker 2>still going to pay for some of this for people

446
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:07.480
<v Speaker 2>who aren't citizens for emergency only services, but it's just

447
00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:09.960
<v Speaker 2>down from ninety percent to fifty percent. So the states

448
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.519
<v Speaker 2>have to decide if they're going to kick in that

449
00:21:11.599 --> 00:21:15.079
<v Speaker 2>extra amount. So again this goes back to the effects

450
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.960
<v Speaker 2>of immigration on our state, on our country, and we

451
00:21:19.039 --> 00:21:21.759
<v Speaker 2>got to take care of our own citizens first.

452
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:23.960
<v Speaker 5>Think about the budget shortfall in the city of Denver

453
00:21:24.000 --> 00:21:26.119
<v Speaker 5>too that may Or Mike Johnson is facing, and why

454
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:29.559
<v Speaker 5>because it is a bottomless pit of a so called

455
00:21:29.559 --> 00:21:33.799
<v Speaker 5>investment in accommodating illegal aliens ahead of our own citizens,

456
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:36.559
<v Speaker 5>and so they're looking to lay people off to fire people,

457
00:21:36.599 --> 00:21:39.000
<v Speaker 5>to cut staff, to cut parks and wreck, to cut

458
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:41.680
<v Speaker 5>out of their services provided by the city, all for

459
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.440
<v Speaker 5>what I would say is a boondoggle investment that you

460
00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.680
<v Speaker 5>don't get a return on that investment in Roli, so

461
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.240
<v Speaker 5>to speak, you're just kind of paying this out. Nothing's

462
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:54.839
<v Speaker 5>coming in. The tax base is leaving. So those that

463
00:21:54.839 --> 00:21:58.440
<v Speaker 5>you would like to collect taxes on business owners, restaurant owners,

464
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:01.160
<v Speaker 5>et cetera, they're fleeing, they're getting out of town. So

465
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:03.880
<v Speaker 5>that's another problem where you get upside down in all

466
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:05.839
<v Speaker 5>of this. And then it goes back to the point

467
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.480
<v Speaker 5>that I was discussing with Representative Gabe Evans in an

468
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:12.039
<v Speaker 5>interview I conducted with him recently, which is, if we're

469
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:16.000
<v Speaker 5>against waste, fraud and abuse in the big beautiful bill

470
00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:19.359
<v Speaker 5>when it comes to Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security benefits, then

471
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:22.079
<v Speaker 5>therefore the conclusion you can draw is the Democrats, as

472
00:22:22.119 --> 00:22:25.599
<v Speaker 5>you just kind of pointed out, they support waste, fraud

473
00:22:25.599 --> 00:22:27.960
<v Speaker 5>and abuse and excess of spending that should be cut.

474
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.000
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So how do we get through to the voters

475
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:33.920
<v Speaker 2>in Colorado that this is what they're voting for, because

476
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:36.559
<v Speaker 2>obviously I don't think they're conscious of that, or they

477
00:22:36.680 --> 00:22:40.599
<v Speaker 2>just so blindly following the Democrat mantras that they don't

478
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:43.200
<v Speaker 2>want to know or ignoring it what's going on here.

479
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.079
<v Speaker 5>I think it's a battle of information, and you know,

480
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:48.400
<v Speaker 5>people can seek out shows like this one or shows

481
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:51.359
<v Speaker 5>like mine and Denver and you know, find out what's

482
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:53.680
<v Speaker 5>really going on that cuts through the clutter and the

483
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:56.440
<v Speaker 5>white noise. It's being presented to them by the mainstream media,

484
00:22:56.440 --> 00:22:58.920
<v Speaker 5>which is largely just lying to them and packaging it

485
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:01.720
<v Speaker 5>a certain way. But then again, you've got this kind

486
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:04.160
<v Speaker 5>of deluge of information for those that are kind of

487
00:23:04.200 --> 00:23:06.960
<v Speaker 5>load to medium information voters. They're not really thinking about it.

488
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.720
<v Speaker 5>They're going about their everyday lives. They're working in their jobs,

489
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:11.880
<v Speaker 5>they don't have a lot of time to spare, and

490
00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.519
<v Speaker 5>they're just being sold this bill of goods and fed

491
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:17.039
<v Speaker 5>this kind of information, and I don't think they really

492
00:23:17.079 --> 00:23:19.039
<v Speaker 5>get to the heart of the matter as to what's

493
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:21.319
<v Speaker 5>really going on here. Where's the money going, where is

494
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:24.160
<v Speaker 5>it coming from, who's it being spent on, who's being

495
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:27.000
<v Speaker 5>prioritized And it's not the citizens of Denver, and it's

496
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:28.319
<v Speaker 5>not the citizens of Colorado.

497
00:23:29.039 --> 00:23:32.920
<v Speaker 2>So Ryan, if you're a candidate running for governor or

498
00:23:33.000 --> 00:23:34.480
<v Speaker 2>attorney general or.

499
00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:35.880
<v Speaker 3>Treasurer, secretary of state.

500
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:40.680
<v Speaker 2>As a Republican, what do you do differently this time

501
00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.920
<v Speaker 2>to wake people up?

502
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:43.559
<v Speaker 3>Is there anything you can do.

503
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Differently and pretend you don't have millions and millions of dollars?

504
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:50.640
<v Speaker 2>How can we approach this differently to give our candidates

505
00:23:50.640 --> 00:23:53.240
<v Speaker 2>a shot without writing them a check for forty fifty

506
00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 2>million dollars?

507
00:23:53.799 --> 00:23:56.920
<v Speaker 5>I think we need an exceptional communicator, somebody that that's

508
00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:01.039
<v Speaker 5>front and center and how they operate, they run their ballgame,

509
00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.960
<v Speaker 5>how they present themselves to the average voter, who they

510
00:24:03.960 --> 00:24:06.960
<v Speaker 5>reach out to, what do they use to reach those people?

511
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:08.039
<v Speaker 4>And I think a lot of it.

512
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:10.720
<v Speaker 5>Unfortunately, because of the numbers game here is they're gonna

513
00:24:10.720 --> 00:24:12.880
<v Speaker 5>have to go behind enemy lines, like do a sit

514
00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:16.319
<v Speaker 5>down with Kyle Clark. I know, I know, I'm aware

515
00:24:16.319 --> 00:24:19.079
<v Speaker 5>of it. Well, I get through to people that might

516
00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:19.680
<v Speaker 5>not otherwise.

517
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.240
<v Speaker 2>See, you work for Greg Lopez. He got destroyed by

518
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:25.000
<v Speaker 2>Kyle and they use that clip in every negative ad

519
00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:25.599
<v Speaker 2>against him.

520
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:28.759
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yep, that's the risk, that's the risk.

521
00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:32.799
<v Speaker 5>But I don't know how otherwise you penetrate into these markets,

522
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:35.440
<v Speaker 5>the Denver Boulder corridor. You know, a rappa Hole County

523
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:37.680
<v Speaker 5>where I live, has gone from red in two thousand

524
00:24:37.680 --> 00:24:40.400
<v Speaker 5>and four to deep blue now and again. It's a

525
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.559
<v Speaker 5>war of information and if you don't have the money

526
00:24:42.720 --> 00:24:45.920
<v Speaker 5>kind of generate your own momentum in that regard, then

527
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.960
<v Speaker 5>you have to kind of win in Rome do as

528
00:24:49.000 --> 00:24:49.559
<v Speaker 5>the Romans do.

529
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:51.839
<v Speaker 2>Are you watching New Jersey at all? And what's going

530
00:24:51.839 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 2>on with the governor's race there?

531
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:54.279
<v Speaker 4>I have not heard a lot.

532
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:56.880
<v Speaker 2>It's cool Jack and I always mess up his name,

533
00:24:57.000 --> 00:25:00.240
<v Speaker 2>CITRELLI who he and I texted a lot when we

534
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:01.680
<v Speaker 2>were running for governor in twenty two.

535
00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:04.680
<v Speaker 3>He's running again and he's doing a great job. He's

536
00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:08.440
<v Speaker 3>a great communicator. He's just New Jersey through and through.

537
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:10.440
<v Speaker 3>He's focusing on the right issues.

538
00:25:10.519 --> 00:25:12.599
<v Speaker 2>And I actually think they have a chance of flipping

539
00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:15.680
<v Speaker 2>things in New Jersey. But here's one thing that's happening

540
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:17.960
<v Speaker 2>that I think we need in Colorado is all the

541
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:20.920
<v Speaker 2>rest of the states are kind of seeing this momentum

542
00:25:20.920 --> 00:25:23.839
<v Speaker 2>and this hope in New Jersey and get behind helping him.

543
00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:26.279
<v Speaker 2>And so if we live in a state like Colorado

544
00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:27.640
<v Speaker 2>where we kind of like, I don't know if we

545
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:31.400
<v Speaker 2>can do anything here, let's help another state flip and

546
00:25:31.480 --> 00:25:34.079
<v Speaker 2>So what if we all get behind texting and calling

547
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:36.759
<v Speaker 2>and supporting voters in New Jersey and then what if

548
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:40.039
<v Speaker 2>next election they help us, Like what if we pool

549
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:43.960
<v Speaker 2>resources like that and get a lot more momentum going

550
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:46.400
<v Speaker 2>for certain states that actually we do see a glimmer

551
00:25:46.440 --> 00:25:48.880
<v Speaker 2>of hope and we can see the light at the

552
00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:50.480
<v Speaker 2>end of the tunnel. We got to push them over

553
00:25:50.519 --> 00:25:53.039
<v Speaker 2>the finish line, which is actually what we did with

554
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:54.279
<v Speaker 2>the Road to Red project.

555
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:56.359
<v Speaker 3>In the twenty twenty four election.

556
00:25:57.079 --> 00:26:00.119
<v Speaker 2>We all we got a bunch of women's groups on

557
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:04.880
<v Speaker 2>Colorado to get together and write handwritten postcards to women

558
00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:09.319
<v Speaker 2>undecided voters in Philadelphia, and we kind of called them

559
00:26:09.319 --> 00:26:11.960
<v Speaker 2>our sister state and we said, let's help there. We

560
00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:16.480
<v Speaker 2>wrote over seven thousand handwritten postcards from women in Colorado,

561
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:19.720
<v Speaker 2>did this to women in Pennsylvania in Philadelphia who we

562
00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:22.640
<v Speaker 2>knew were on the fence. Turning point gave us information

563
00:26:22.720 --> 00:26:24.079
<v Speaker 2>to say, Okay, these are the women you want to

564
00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:26.920
<v Speaker 2>reach out to. And we played a little role right

565
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:29.920
<v Speaker 2>in getting Donald Trump elected since Colorado didn't want to

566
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:33.079
<v Speaker 2>play ball there. But I think we could start to

567
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:34.880
<v Speaker 2>look at things that way, and maybe that's how we

568
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:37.440
<v Speaker 2>look at some of the races in Colorado too. We

569
00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:43.000
<v Speaker 2>find races for state legislature or attorney General, secretary of state, whatever.

570
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Pick some races where we have a really good candidate

571
00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.519
<v Speaker 2>who's messaging well, and we just focus our energy on winning,

572
00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:51.759
<v Speaker 2>picking off just a couple, you know, a couple of

573
00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 2>these tough races. I think that's what happened with Rebecca

574
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Kelt down in Opaso County.

575
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:57.839
<v Speaker 3>She only won by three votes, but she won. I

576
00:26:57.880 --> 00:27:00.319
<v Speaker 3>remember that, and everybody around the state was of like,

577
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:02.160
<v Speaker 3>I like that chick. She's good cheat.

578
00:27:02.279 --> 00:27:04.920
<v Speaker 2>She ran for Congress before, and she was edgy and

579
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:07.599
<v Speaker 2>fun and I really enjoyed getting to know her on

580
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:09.759
<v Speaker 2>the campaign trail when I was running for region.

581
00:27:09.799 --> 00:27:10.400
<v Speaker 3>I think it was.

582
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:14.640
<v Speaker 2>But you know, just maybe looking at some candidates that

583
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:17.400
<v Speaker 2>are out of the box, that are showing signs of

584
00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:20.519
<v Speaker 2>doing things differently, and maybe they have.

585
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:21.880
<v Speaker 3>A great social media following.

586
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.720
<v Speaker 2>That's why Britta is having Aaron come to the Capitol

587
00:27:24.759 --> 00:27:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Club meeting next week the seventeenth. You should really come

588
00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:31.200
<v Speaker 2>check her out or check follow her on TikTok. It's

589
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:34.240
<v Speaker 2>Liberty and Logic. I think is her following or her handle.

590
00:27:34.880 --> 00:27:36.839
<v Speaker 3>She's an unaffiliated.

591
00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Voter, but very conservative, and she knocks it out of

592
00:27:39.599 --> 00:27:41.359
<v Speaker 2>the park on socially. She has a great way of

593
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:44.880
<v Speaker 2>messaging things and she's shown us the way, and we

594
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:47.200
<v Speaker 2>got to find bright lights like that to do things

595
00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:52.119
<v Speaker 2>differently in this coming election. All right, Ryan, I've rambled

596
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:53.920
<v Speaker 2>on a lot in this segment. We're going to come

597
00:27:53.920 --> 00:27:56.759
<v Speaker 2>back and ramble a little bit more with your help

598
00:27:58.039 --> 00:27:59.680
<v Speaker 2>and talk about how we can win in twenty six.

599
00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.359
<v Speaker 2>This isol filling in for Dan Capless. We'll see you

600
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.319
<v Speaker 2>after the break.

601
00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.160
<v Speaker 4>And now back to the Dan Kapless Show podcast.

602
00:28:09.759 --> 00:28:12.759
<v Speaker 2>Ryan, you are so good at catching these songs ramble

603
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:14.119
<v Speaker 2>on after I was rambling on.

604
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:16.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you got it. You're so flooney, very quick.

605

<v Speaker 2>thousand followers. She's right here in Colorado. Check her out.

610
00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:34.839
<v Speaker 2>Also check out Isabelle Brown, our own Colorado girl, has

611
00:28:34.880 --> 00:28:37.319
<v Speaker 2>a new platform with Daily Wire.

612
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:38.319
<v Speaker 3>Go check her out.

613
00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:41.599
<v Speaker 2>She's got a new show, articles, a great article on motherhood,

614
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:44.160
<v Speaker 2>and of course my daughter Torriganol is doing the Mountain

615
00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:46.359
<v Speaker 2>Minute every day in ninety second video. The news of

616
00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:49.359
<v Speaker 2>the day can find out on Rocky Mountain Voice. There's

617
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:51.640
<v Speaker 2>some young up and comers you can follow and get

618
00:28:51.640 --> 00:28:53.319
<v Speaker 2>the news and get a different perspective.

619
00:28:53.960 --> 00:28:55.519
<v Speaker 3>Very very important to do.

620
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:58.400
<v Speaker 5>I think I think of Tori and that generation when

621
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:00.000
<v Speaker 5>you brought up the point going into the last break

622
00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:02.279
<v Speaker 5>and how important it is to reach people where they

623
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:05.519
<v Speaker 5>are and how they listen. For instance, with this radio show,

624
00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:07.519
<v Speaker 5>a lot of people do listen over the air still,

625
00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:09.359
<v Speaker 5>but there are a lot of people that consume media

626
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:11.400
<v Speaker 5>in different ways now, so they'll listen to the podcast

627
00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:14.440
<v Speaker 5>version of today's program, and so the younger people are

628
00:29:14.440 --> 00:29:18.079
<v Speaker 5>moving in that direction. Similarly, you mentioned TikTok or Instagram

629
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:21.279
<v Speaker 5>or Facebook or x or any of these other platforms

630
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:22.920
<v Speaker 5>that had that viral moment.

631
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:23.880
<v Speaker 4>And even though.

632
00:29:24.480 --> 00:29:27.799
<v Speaker 5>Mumbani or Mumdani rather in New York City, he had

633
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:32.319
<v Speaker 5>a very strong online presence. He's very online, very viral

634
00:29:32.440 --> 00:29:34.400
<v Speaker 5>with videos and things. It doesn't really matter what he

635
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.119
<v Speaker 5>was saying, communist bunk, but people were kind of catching

636
00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:39.920
<v Speaker 5>on to what he picking up what he's putting down.

637
00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:42.440
<v Speaker 5>You know, he's young, he's a good looking guy, he's energetic.

638
00:29:42.920 --> 00:29:44.480
<v Speaker 5>I think you got to have somebody who has that

639
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.240
<v Speaker 5>kind of force of personality, can convey it in a

640
00:29:47.279 --> 00:29:50.079
<v Speaker 5>meaningful way, can connect with people on that level.

641
00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:52.680
<v Speaker 4>That's not just nuts and bolts.

642
00:29:52.720 --> 00:29:55.519
<v Speaker 5>Issue was oriented, although I think those are still important,

643
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:57.920
<v Speaker 5>but you got to get people's attention and how do

644
00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:00.359
<v Speaker 5>you do that? And I think there's just newer that

645
00:30:00.359 --> 00:30:03.559
<v Speaker 5>we got to update ourselves in the Republican Party to

646
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 5>find those new avenues.

647
00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, to wrap this up, a Yale youth poll was

648
00:30:08.279 --> 00:30:11.279
<v Speaker 2>just done. There's an eighteen point partisan gap between younger

649
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:14.559
<v Speaker 2>and older members of Generation Z. So voters age twenty

650
00:30:14.640 --> 00:30:17.799
<v Speaker 2>two to twenty nine favored Democrat candidates in the twenty

651
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.599
<v Speaker 2>six mid terms by six point four points, while those

652
00:30:20.680 --> 00:30:24.680
<v Speaker 2>aged eighteen to twenty one favored Republicans by a margin

653
00:30:24.720 --> 00:30:25.720
<v Speaker 2>of almost twelve points.

654
00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:26.599
<v Speaker 4>Isn't that remarkable?

655
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:27.319
<v Speaker 3>That's crazy.

656
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:29.799
<v Speaker 2>So we've got to engage those eighteen to twenty one

657
00:30:29.880 --> 00:30:32.240
<v Speaker 2>year olds in a big, big way because they're going

658
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:35.480
<v Speaker 2>to vote our way, even in Colorado. So that's a

659
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:39.160
<v Speaker 2>tip for Britet I know she's listening, and for those

660
00:30:39.200 --> 00:30:41.519
<v Speaker 2>of us working to turn this state around. It's eighteen

661
00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:44.079
<v Speaker 2>to twenty one year olds that favor Republicans by a

662
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:46.880
<v Speaker 2>margin of eleven point seven points. And we do that

663
00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:50.559
<v Speaker 2>on social media by having great fun events, making it

664
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:53.680
<v Speaker 2>fun to be a conservative again, by talking about conservative

665
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:58.359
<v Speaker 2>conservation and the environment, like acc dot Eco, the American

666
00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:02.680
<v Speaker 2>Conservation Coalition, eighty thousand members of young people across the country.

667
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:05.920
<v Speaker 2>There's all kinds of new ways to engage young people.

668
00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:08.039
<v Speaker 2>We've got to stay on top of that. That's the

669
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:11.119
<v Speaker 2>most important thing I think we can do in the

670
00:31:11.200 --> 00:31:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Republican Party here in Colorado to secure our future here

671
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:16.759
<v Speaker 2>and to wake people up to vote differently.

672
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:19.480
<v Speaker 3>But Ryan, it's been a pleasure being with you today.

673
00:31:20.079 --> 00:31:22.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm I had a lot of fun talking about all

674
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:24.960
<v Speaker 2>kinds of things, and thank you for tolerating my jet lag.

675
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:27.400
<v Speaker 4>How bad is it?

676
00:31:27.400 --> 00:31:28.119
<v Speaker 3>It's okay.

677
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:30.240
<v Speaker 2>A few times I've said things, I'm like, is that

678
00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:31.799
<v Speaker 2>my mouth connecting.

679
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:31.680
<v Speaker 7>To my.

680
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:36.960
<v Speaker 2>In fact, somebody texted, don't say see you after the break.

681
00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:40.640
<v Speaker 5>I'm well, you'll see me. But yeah, that's that's actually

682
00:31:40.680 --> 00:31:41.079
<v Speaker 5>a good point.

683
00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:42.720
<v Speaker 3>I guess amateur hour here with him.

684
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.720
<v Speaker 5>No no, no, no, no, just a nitpicking picking of nits.

685
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:46.160
<v Speaker 3>That's okay.

686
00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:48.839
<v Speaker 2>That's how we get better. We nit nitpick, right, But

687
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:50.960
<v Speaker 2>what are you up to this weekend?

688
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Ryan?

689
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:52.079
<v Speaker 3>You do anything fun?

690
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:52.400
<v Speaker 7>Uh?

691
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:54.759
<v Speaker 4>Kind of still in search mode.

692
00:31:54.839 --> 00:31:58.359
<v Speaker 5>There's some music festivals and stuff going around in the area.

693
00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:01.480
<v Speaker 5>I think Long Month's got one going long but yeah,

694
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:04.119
<v Speaker 5>and I'm not the one throwing it down.

695
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:08.039
<v Speaker 4>But yeah. Going with Christian Toto to a rodeo tonight.

696
00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:08.880
<v Speaker 6>Nice.

697
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Not in the springs. Yeah, I guess you have roots.

698
00:32:12.680 --> 00:32:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I do have roots in El Paso County. I'm a

699
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:17.759
<v Speaker 2>monument garrel. Yeah, okay, we did a little bit of rodeo.

700
00:32:18.400 --> 00:32:20.000
<v Speaker 2>We had a lot of kids at school that were

701
00:32:20.039 --> 00:32:22.680
<v Speaker 2>really into the rodeo because it was black forest and

702
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:24.960
<v Speaker 2>kind of rural El Paso County. It was a lot

703
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:27.880
<v Speaker 2>of fun and I think one of my favorite things

704
00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:29.839
<v Speaker 2>is a see you regent was to go to the

705
00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:32.160
<v Speaker 2>stock show and they would let us ride around in

706
00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:37.079
<v Speaker 2>that stagecoach waving to people, and it was perilous, like

707
00:32:37.119 --> 00:32:37.480
<v Speaker 2>the state.

708
00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:39.759
<v Speaker 3>They go really fast and it almost tipped over a

709
00:32:39.759 --> 00:32:40.279
<v Speaker 3>couple of times.

710
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:43.079
<v Speaker 2>But I love going to the stock Show, the rodeo there,

711
00:32:43.160 --> 00:32:45.240
<v Speaker 2>and my kids loved mutton busting.

712
00:32:45.319 --> 00:32:46.119
<v Speaker 3>You know that that's.

713
00:32:46.160 --> 00:32:49.319
<v Speaker 5>They're advertising that at this very event, which is the

714
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:51.720
<v Speaker 5>Pike's Peak or bus. Sounds like there's a lot on

715
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:55.680
<v Speaker 5>the line rodeo down in the springs, and they mentioned

716
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:57.319
<v Speaker 5>what you just said, Mutt.

717
00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:58.200
<v Speaker 3>It's really fun.

718
00:32:58.240 --> 00:33:01.480
<v Speaker 2>It's like they keep the little kids on sheep. I

719
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:03.319
<v Speaker 2>hope I'm saying that right, and they just hold on

720
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.240
<v Speaker 2>for dear life and they go racing across until they

721
00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:07.440
<v Speaker 2>fall off and get trampled.

722
00:33:07.640 --> 00:33:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Sounds dangerous and a child that I know I will live.

723
00:33:10.559 --> 00:33:13.240
<v Speaker 3>I will never name names. Was deepants in front of

724
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:17.079
<v Speaker 3>the whole by the sheep. Oh no, I know it

725
00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:17.519
<v Speaker 3>was bad.

726
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:18.039
<v Speaker 4>Wow.

727
00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:20.599
<v Speaker 3>All right, Well, I'm headed to d C. I'll be back.

<v Speaker 2>father in law, who I love dearly and help him

733
00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:34.359

<v Speaker 5>So I'll be back on You probably already know this.

<v Speaker 3>The custard Is.

739
00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:50.319
<v Speaker 2>It's probably better than the gelato in Italy, which we

740
00:33:50.519 --> 00:33:51.200
<v Speaker 2>ate so much.

741
00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:54.319
<v Speaker 4>May I offer another recommendation, Saint Louis. This is where

742
00:33:54.359 --> 00:33:56.200
<v Speaker 4>my grandfather once lived long ago.

743
00:33:56.519 --> 00:34:00.759
<v Speaker 2>Pappies, I love pap alright, I'm not telling anything rightist

744
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:01.279
<v Speaker 2>to Pappies.

745
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:04.480
<v Speaker 4>Every time we say, you know, with GQ and all that.

746
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:08.079
<v Speaker 3>Funny about Saint Louis, they all talk about where they

747
00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:08.840
<v Speaker 3>went to high school.

748
00:34:09.159 --> 00:34:09.920
<v Speaker 4>They do still.

749
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:12.639
<v Speaker 2>Yes, if you meet somebody from Saint Louis, because my

750
00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:14.920
<v Speaker 2>husband's from there, they say, oh, where'd you go to

751
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:17.400
<v Speaker 2>high school? Or they say, oh, I'm I lived in

752
00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:19.079
<v Speaker 2>so so, I went to Webster Groves.

753
00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:21.559
<v Speaker 3>And you're like, okay, I don't know anything about.

754
00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:24.239
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's not compute, no.

755
00:34:24.320 --> 00:34:27.119
<v Speaker 3>No, but it's it's a great town. Saint Louis has

756
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 3>amazing food.

757
00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 2>Our favorite is a place called Ferrados in rock Hill

758
00:34:31.320 --> 00:34:33.519
<v Speaker 2>and they have the very thin pizza.

759
00:34:33.679 --> 00:34:35.719
<v Speaker 4>Now is rock Hill? I don't know if I can

760
00:34:35.719 --> 00:34:36.000
<v Speaker 4>say this.

761
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:38.079
<v Speaker 5>They call it the Hill now and I'm just going

762
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:40.679
<v Speaker 5>to say, Yogie Barrows from there and Joe Garagiola Hall

763
00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:42.920
<v Speaker 5>of Fame Baseball Players it was called. Now this is

764
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:45.280
<v Speaker 5>just what it's called tech messenger Daego.

00:34:45.079 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 3>Hill, Oh jeez, are you are you gonna get candled?

766
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:50.800
<v Speaker 5>I think I am. That's what they called it. And

767
00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:53.239
<v Speaker 5>it was like a bunch of Italian restaurants. And you know,

768
00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:57.199
<v Speaker 5>I'm a Serb. I'm a little swarthy person, so I

769
00:34:57.239 --> 00:34:59.239
<v Speaker 5>think I you know, but that's what it was called.

770
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:01.400
<v Speaker 4>Are you from the you're with this? Asked Jason about it.

771
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:02.360
<v Speaker 3>No, I'll ask Jesus.

772
00:35:02.400 --> 00:35:04.360
<v Speaker 5>Definitely some Italian restaurants there that you want to They

773
00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:05.280
<v Speaker 5>just call it the Hill.

774
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:07.559
<v Speaker 4>Now that's why I got confused. What hill did you say?

775
00:35:08.280 --> 00:35:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Rock?

776
00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:08.760
<v Speaker 4>Hill?

777
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:10.239
<v Speaker 3>Rocks the name of the neighborhood Rock.

778
00:35:10.239 --> 00:35:13.320
<v Speaker 2>It's the neighborhood Webster Groves High School or Brentwood High School.

779
00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:14.960
<v Speaker 4>I asked Jason about what I mentioned there.
